Nutwood Leads Them All. I

This great son of Belmont 64 and Miss Russell (the
dam of Maud S. 2:08% and othersl by Pilot Jr. bids
fair to by another year lead all sires in America as a
producer of speed He now has 157 2:30 performers,
being but two behind Electioneer, and there are several
of Nutwood's progeny that have never started but will

Nutwood we find Manager 2:06% the fastest with Lock-
heart 2:08*4 a trotter next in point of speed These
are the only ones with records better than 2:10 out of
the entire list of thirteen But among the thirty one
2:15 performers out of Nutwood mares are Arion 2:07?4,
Fred Kohl 2:07%, Ethel Downs 2:10, Eyelet 2:06K,
Bellwood A 2:07M and Sunland Belle 2:08%.

Nutwood was appreciated when he was in California,
by but a few, but there are a number oi well bred
mares by him still alive in this State, and their owners

so many stallions carrying the blood of this truly great
horse. In commenting on Nutwood's showing as a
broodmare sire the Horse Review says:

"When we then find that in all broodmare history
only fourteen sires have got in all the dams of as many
as ten 2 :15 performers, the exhibit of the Nutwood
mares becomes amazing In calling attention to these
facts it should be remembered that the son of Belmont
and Miss Russell lived a long life got a very large num-
ber of foals, and always -excepting during his career in

be in training this year and for several years to come.
It is the showing that Nutwood is making as a brood-
mare sire that is attracting wide attention just now. In
the Chicago Horse Review's table of sires of mares that
have produced 2 :15 performers, Nutwood's daughters
are way in the lead with thirty-one, truly a marvelous
showing. This is seven more than the daughters of any
other sires have produced, and more wonderful still
they have produced seven new 2 :15 performers in 1899.
Looking over the list of 2:15 performers sired by

should see to it that they are mated every year with the
very choicest stallions to be reached.

The picture presented of Nutwood on this page is an
excellent likeness of the horse made in 1S99 and has
been pronounced by all who saw the horse in his life-
time a perfect one, and is always recognized on sight.
It is fom a large portrait by the well known artist Cecil
Palmer, which hangs in the office of the BREEnER and
Sportsman, one of the most valued of its collection.
California is very fortunate in having within her borders

California -had access to a very select harem. But the
fact also should be remembered that he is so recently
dead that his youngest female foals are themselves still
fillies, and that many of his daughters are not the dams
of foals old enough for tln.-ir firsi public appearance.11

$10,000 For a Three Year Old.

Sacramento Correspondence.

Horses Bred for Hone.

A three year old eon of Direct 2:05$ was sold two weeks
ago .for $10,000. The &ilent man Ed GeerB received the
cl'eck which paid for the colt, and it was signed by C. J. and
Harry Hamlin, proprietors of the Village Farm. The colt's
name is Direct Hal and he is by Direct, oot of Bessie Hal by
Tom Hal. Ten thousand dollars is an unprecedented price
to pay for a green three year old pacer, bat Messrs. Hamlin
knew what they wer«? bayiDg and doubtless believe they will
make a profit on the yonngster even at this price. The same
week tbib sale was made T. E Keating, of PleasantoD, oflered
Mr. Cnas, Griffith $5000 for another three year old son of
Direct, this one ont of Bon Bon by Simmons, Mr. Griffith
refused the offer promptly, as he is firmly of the opinion that
he has ooe of the best three year olds in America, and that
he will earn with him many times more than the earn offered.
The fact that each prices as these are offered and paid for
three year olds by Direct is conclusive evidence that the
produce of this great little horse are sought after. And why
should they not be? Direct himself was a great three year
old and despite the tremendous weight carried to make him
trot showed great speed and won races in a game and ball
dcg manner. Shifted to the lateral war of going he aston-
ished the world, and defeating the mighty Hal Pointer in
2:09, 2:08 and 2:081, lbe record for three heats at that time,
compelled the Tennessee breeders to acknowledge him "the
greatest little horse io the world." Direct was timed a
quarter in 27£ eeeonds, almost a running horse-gait, and for
his size is the fastest pacer ever seen in America. Bat it
was not only in races that his greatness was shown. Placed
in the stud he sired Directly, the only two year old that ever
paced a mile in 2:07£, and perhaps the only ooe that ever
will. Directly reduced this mark to 2:03J in 1898, and has
been one cf the great race horses among the free for all side
wheelers. Direct also git Directum Kelly 2:08|-, a trotter
that went through the Grand Circuit of 1898 without a de-
feat. He sired Ed B. Young 2:11£, Miss Margaret 2:11$
Miss Beatrice 2:13£, I Direct 2:13, Arthur L. 2:15 and four-
teen or fif'.een others with records better than 2:30 and all
race records at that.

Direct was great as a race horse, and is great as a sire of
race horses, and besides being one of the best formed horses
ever hooked to a sulky, his breeding is such that a great deal
of his greatness is inherited and it is certain that he possesses
the prepotency to reprodnce it.

( By Son of Ky. Whip

His sire was that great race horse Director 2:17, who went
through the East beating the cracks of his day in the same
triumphant way his son did. Director not only sired Direct
but he sired Directum 2:05}, the greatest trotting stallion
that ever lived, and forty others with race records below
2:30, beside the dams of John A. McKerron 2:12£,
Little Thorne 2:09}, Oro Wilkes 2:11 and others.
Director's sire was Dictator, the sire of Jay Eye See
2:06}, Impstuous 2:13, Phallaa 2:13| and 58 others in 2:30,
besides the dams of Nancy Hanks 2:04 and Lockheart 2:08},
and is ranked as one of the greatest of Bire*. Dictator's sire
was the Hero of Chester, Hambletonian 10, whose name is
1 1 fficienf and whose pedigree does not need tabulation or his
1 < cord in the stud commented upon.

The dam of Director 2:17, was Dolly by Mambrino Chief,
and she was also the dam of the great Onward 2:25}, sire of
144 standard performers and still living, Czirina 2:21, Thorn-
dale 2:22}, sire of ten in the list, and others.

The dam of Dictator was Clara, the dam of the famous
Dexter 2:17}, by American Star, and two others with records
belter than 2:30.

Direct's dam wag Echora 2:23}, by Echo, one of the best
bred sons of Hambletoniao 10. Echo sired Bob Mason, the
sire of Waldo J. 2:08, Pasha, sire of the dam of Toggles
2:09} and the dams of Direct 2:05}, Rex Alto 2:07$, Lonpe
2:09J, Baywood 2:10} and Dave Ryan 2:13.

The next dam of Direct was the Young mare by the thor-
oughbred horse Jack Hawkinp, who sired the dams of Balkan
2:15 and many other fast trotters.

Bristling as it does with the names of great race horses,
great sires and great broodmares, is it any wonder that the
pedigree of Direct should attract the attention of breeders?
We understand that Oakwood Park Stock Farm will this
this year send at least ten of its choicest young matrons to
Direct, and there is no doubt but bis book will be full early
in the season. The get of no other stallion on this Coast are
briogiog such prices as the youog Directs are this year and
they must be a choice lot or the hard cash would not b.- paid
over for them

Sacbamento, Jan. 2, 1900.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: The new year
opened here with a rainstorm that at this writing has devel-
oped into a downpour that has caused a big rise in the river
and made mud the rale on all the onp&ved streets and
highways.

The 6rat foal of the year at Rancho del Paso came on Sew
YearB day and is a fine colt by Spunwell.

A. Ross has a couple of two year old', two three year
olde, and a five year old, all maidens, which hee pscts to
take to logleside this week.

Ab Stemler has Lodestar and Arbaces, and several two
year o!d3, but is not doipg much with them, probably owing
to the weather.

Among the harness horses at the track I noticed Dr. Mc-
Collum's pacer Dave Ryan 2:13 the other day and he is
looking in splendid Ehape. They expect him to certainly
lower his record this year and he will be campaigned in Cal-
ifornia. Mary Rose is the name given by the Doctor to a
very promising yearling filly by Dave Ryan out of Rosa Lse
by Bob Lee, that is entered in the Occident Stakes. A two
year old filly by Algona out cf Rosa Lee is expected to be a
winner sore.

Mrs. E. W. Callendine's great broodmare Abbie Woodnut,
is heavy with foal to Nutwood Wilkes and the produce is
expected to be a world beater, as the old mare never threw
anything but a fast one. Mrs. Callendine has also Lady
Keating, two years old, and first premium winner at the
State Fair: She is out of Abbie Woodnat, and is by fitam
B. 2:11} and will give an account cf herBelf in the Stanford
and Occident Stakes, in both of which 6he is entered. Ab-
dine 2:17} by Wilkesdale is another of Abbie Woodcut's
produce. Before the rain came on and when the trsck was
good he was driven a quarter to a cart here in a shade belter
than 30 seconds, end they saj he can just fly whenever given
his head. They are conservative and predict a mark cf 2:12
for him this year.

Mr. E. B. Smith's mare Swift Biid that took a three year
old record of 2:29}, is io foal to Stam B. 2:11}, and as she
was much faster than her record and is by Waldsteio, Mr.
Smith has a right to epxect something good. He also hag.
Mollie Nurse 2:14£, by Monwocd, and will campaign her on
the California circuit in 1900.

Hi Hogoboom, who has proven himself a gocd reinsman
on nearly every race track in California, aa well as many
over East, has a bunch of five that are green, but he says are
four aces and a king. Four of them are by Waidstein and
one by Diablo. But he is on a "deal" fcr another that he
will open the boys eyes with if he gets him. Mr. Hcgobocm
wants me to call your attention to the emission of one cf
Waldstein's new performers from your 2:30 list. It is Cali-
fornia Maid, a Humboldt county mare. Waldstein now has
nine in the list. He will again make the season in Hum-
boldt county and will have a large number of mares.

Vet Tryon has the biggest Btring at the track, some very
fast ones among them. Daedalion 2:11, by Diablo out the
great broodmare Grace, by Buccaneer is looking well since
his successful campaign last year.

Ooe of the greatest prospects in this part of the country is
a four year old green pacer in Mr. Tryon's string that is
called Belle Burgess. She is by Sterling cut of a mare by St.
Clair. She belongs to one of our prosperous dairymen and
for good looks, good gait and speed, cannot be beaten by
many in California.

Hiio del Diablo 2:11}, is in this string, also a four year
old pacer by Diablo out of a Nephew mare, a three year old
by Tom Benton, Silver Buck, a three year old by Si'ver Bow
out of Grace by Buccaneer that is entered in the Occident
Stake, Prince Wilkes 2:30 by Clarence Wilkes, dam by Dexter
Pritce, Easter Wilkes a three year eld by Prompter, a green
one by old Alex Button that attracts moch attention from
the horsemen every time he is out, and a trotter called
Advah, by Advertiser, out of a Notwocd mare. It will be
seen that Mr. Tryon has quite a formidable string and amorg
the green ones are several that are bound to get to the front
this year even though the time be fast. More anon,

An EnglUh horse breeder, writing on breeding, says: When
considering a horse's points, no practical man will begin to
judge from the top. It is true that a horse with a taking
head and general appearance is certain to attract anyone,
but if upon the examination of his feet and legs it is seen
that he has not sufficient bone to carry him, however good
Mb other points are, he is U3eles3, not only for carrying
weiaht, bat for standing mach hard work of any sort. This
principle applies to all classes of horses alike. The draft-
horse requires sound, strong "underpinning" to carry his
massive body and successfully move heavy loads. The
massive leg, however, ia not -always indicative of the strength
of bone. We must learn to jadge of bane by appearance and
feel.

Commonly we hear of "flit bone" in a horee'e leg, but
there ia no such thing in anv breed. The bone3 f jrming the
leg of a horse have, when sawed through, an elliptical section
slightly flattened in front, with the smallest diameter behind.
The coutonr of the bone is mach more cylindrical than fiat,
and this applies to draft as we'l as racing or trotting horses.
"Flat bone" is then a misnomer, but '"nil" as applied to the
appearance of the leg is correct and the desirable shape in all
horses. A round appearing leg on a horse does not indicate
round bone, bat a meaty condition, a coarseness of lissufs,
and, more than all, a lack of development and cleanness of
the back tendons. In coarse bred, meaty Iegsed horses of
phlegmatic temperament and sluggish disposition, the bone
of the legs is not of the close, ivory-like texture of the
thoroughbred, but has a larger proportion of cancellated
(spongy) tissue in its center, and hence is considered weaker
than the bone of finer quality.

The appearance of a round, meaty leg does not so much
bespeak inherent lack of strength as it does undesirable
attributes that generally accompany this type, such as
grease, lymphangitis and other diseases of the phlegmatic
horse. Breed for the flit appearing leg, for the reason that
the bones of such horBes are "flinty" in quality, hard as gun
metal, and accompanied by well developed, plainly seen
tendons, and in draft horse3 by a fringe of loDg. silky hair
springing from the back portion of the leg; whereas, in
coarse bred, sluggish horses the "feather," bo called, is
likely to slick cut all arcund the leg, and in quality is
about as silky as the stuffing of an old-fashioned sofs.

Chcose the breeding horse that has big, sound joints and
well developed, flit lfgs that properly bear his weight.
See that he shows the scles of his shoes j lainly as he trots
away, and it may be taken for granted that his tempera-
ment is desirable. The big, flabby, "overtopped" horse is
a poor type to breed. He has not the necessary quality and
strength of bone to carry his body or Bland hard work, and
it is usual to find Each an animal "throwing out" splints,
spavins, ringbones, Bidebones and curbs 8uch blemishes
constitute unsoundness, and seem to be nature's way of
branding a horse according to his character, as if lo eay the
unsoandness seen is a sure evidence of an unseen source of
unsoundness which is hereditary.

When Milo Knox of Haywards leaves the latter part o^
this month for Chicago with a carload of horses consigned
to the Splac-Newgass sale, in the car will be a three year
old son of Guy Wilkes that is not only a handsome, well
bred fellow, but a colt that will certainly make a fast trotter
if given tbe'trainiog. As a two year old last fall he trotted
a quarter barefooted in 34£ seconds over the Alameda track
which is evidence that he has plenty of speed. Being by
Guy WilkeB he ie certainly well enough bred on his sire's
side for anybody. HiB dam is Glen Ellen, a very Btoully
bred mare by Arlhurton the sire of San Mateo Stock Farm's
beet broodmares. Glen Ellen produced Verona Wilkes 2:27,
and ia ont of Smoothbriar (fall Bister to Sweetbriar 2:261),
by Eugene Casserly, son of Gen. Taylor, next dam Peanuts
by the Morse Horse 6. This is the stoutest of breeding, the
kind that finds no road too long, and as this colt is a very
handsome individual he should be one of the hi.h priced
ones at the Bale. Whoever gets him will get a good one, and
if trained he will certainly earn a low record.

The European Handicap System.

An American horseman who has spent some time in Eng
land contributes an interesting article on harness racing in
that country to the last number cf the Trotter and Pacer, in
the course of which he has the following to eay regarding
handicapping as applied to harness races, he Bays: "I notice
in American tnrf journals occasionally articles advocating
associations to try the European system of handicapping
trotterB. I am sore no one who has seen much of the handi-
cap trotting would ever urge its adoption in the Slates. It is
a fact that this system is the chief obstacle in the way of
harness racing on this side of the water, and tbe harness
race horse will never rise to equality with the galloper in
public esteem until it is abolished and class racing adopted.
Every up-to-date promoter of trotting in this or any other
European country would be glad to make the charge to the
American plan, and many attempts have been made in this
direclioD; but for some unexplainable reason owners hare
for the mest part declined the issue, and for the lack of
entries these attempts have been usually pertial or complete
failures. The handicap system encourages fraud, and races
under it can hardly be called racing, for there is seldom a
close finish, and usually a heal is a one-horse affair." This
is probably a very fair presentation of the case. In this
country a few handicap events have been tried, but so far
without causing any appreciable demand for tbe general
adoption of the system. It is probably safe to say that when
trotters become plenty enough in Europe to admit of the
adoption of class racing as carried on in this country, handi-
cap races will become less popular over there, until finally
the American system will come into general use. — Horse
World,

The Western Horseman says IndianapoliB horsemen are
moving for a new trotting'association of which the Indiana-
polis Matinee Clnb will form the nucleus. The additional
membership will be gathered from leading harness horsemen
throughout the state. A date will be claimed in the Grand
Circuit. This will give Indiana three weeks in the Grand
Circuit should Fort Wayne and Terra Hante also enter,
which seems now hiehly probable. There is no reason why
Indianapolis shouM not enter the Grand Circuit with profit.
It is one of the great railroad centers, has a population of
200,000, and one of the best mile rings in the country.

Colt Breaking-.

A colt cannot be handled too young, as first impressions
are the most lasting, and we should be very careful that
those impressions are the right ones. To show how well a
youDg colt remembers, I will cite one instance. One of my
brocdmares, with her foal, about six hours old, got into the
road and ran about one mile, where she entered a door-yard
with her colt. I took them home, and six weeks after, when
I drove the mare over the same road, the colt left her, and
ran into the same dcor-yard, acd the mare bad to Le driven
in before the colt could be induced to leave the yard. I be-
lieve that a colt's training can be commenced anytime after
he is a day old. The most important of all the word's used
in training is the word, Whoa. I teach him the meaning of
this word in Lbs following manner. Standing on the near
side I place my left hand under his Deck where the throat-
latch comes, and my right on his flank, on the offside. He
ot once rushes either forwards or backwards, and I instantly
hit him a sharp slap with my right hand, and say whoa
(very short). He will almost invariably stand perfectly still
and I at once commence rabbine and patting him vers*
lightly with my right hand. He will soon try to get away
again, and I repeat the treatment over and over until he is
completely submissive. If he should throw himself I
quickly take advantage of the situation by placing my hands
on his neck and holding him down till I can rub hands over
him in any spot, especially his head and legs, without his
flinching. When this is accomplished I have a good founda-
tion to commence building on, and every few days I keep
teaching him something new, and by the time be is old
enough to wear a harness he is nearly broken. A colt that
is from three to five years old before he is broken must, of
course, be handled somewhat differently, in halter break-
ing a colt, I have for twenty years used what is called a
"Yankee bridle." Tt can be made in many forms, but take a
three-eighths or half-inch cotton rope, tie it around the
colt's neck in the ordinary way, double the rope next to the
knot, and let this doubled portion (say about one foot), pass
through the month; then I throw the end of the rope over
the neck just back of the ears, and pass it through the loop
that just reach through the mouth far enough to receive it.
That makes a halter that will lead the most stubborn. As
soon as a colt is well halter-broken, I tie him in a roomy
stall end handle his feet until that part of his education is
thoroughly completed. Then I teach him what the whip is
for, and as bat few trainers really know how bad it hurts, I
would suggest that it wrnld be well for all colt breakers to
first give themselves a few clips and then use the whip on
the horse jast as hard as they can stand it themselves. A
whip should always be carried, but seldom nsed. Ahorse
should become bo familiar with the whip that it can be
slashed around him, right and left, and he pay no attention
to it, no matter how high strung he may be.

I usually take ten days to break a colt and never hitch him
up to to a cart till I have handled him about one week. He
then knows what I want of him, and will do it every time.

During the first week of a colt's training I go throngh all
the motions of hitching up and unhitching, probably a score
of times or more, and I am very careful to do as much work
on the off side as the near side.

A blacksmith once asked me why nine out of ten thills,
kicked out of carts, were on the oft side, and I told him that
it was because most horses were only broken on one side.

I usually "bit" colts from one to three days and I give
them several lessons a day, hut I do not leave them checked
up over a half an hoar at a time. As s~>on as they are bitted
I cress the holdbacks under the belly and fasten them to the
thill loops, then ran my lines through the breeching ring-,
so the colt cannot turn around. Then I commence driving
him in all the worst places I can find. If there is a wood
saw or a steam thresher near by, I get him familiar with
them, and when he can be driven and will stand any where I
ask him to regardless of his surroundings, he ..broken well
enough to hitch np. A colt should be fed well and kept
right on his tiptoes while being broken, and then there is nc
guesswork about his being broken when he is tamed over to
his owner. I always use an open bridle until the colt is
broken, then he can be driven with blinds if desired. I
sometimes use a temporary blind made with a handkerchief
or a twig of leaves, just to keep him from watching me from
one side; that prevents him from forming the habit of side-
lining. To prevent him from going s:dewise behind, I u;e
his tail for a rudder, and if commenced in time, he can very
easily be kept straight. I have even stopped the habit of
crossfiring in this way. No set rule can be given to prevent
and cure the many bad notions horses will get into, bat the
main thing is to take advantage of every opportunity the in-
stant it is presented. In my twenty years' experience hand-
ling colts and vicious horses, I have never thrown but one
horse to subdue him. I seldom use a kick strap and never
any other "togglement" when a horse is in harness. If he is
"light'' behind I take him on a piece of ground that is icy,
not too slippery, as he might injure himself. He will then
very soon learn to keep his feet where they are the most
needed. I then turn him abont in ever; direction, and he
very soon learns to do just what I tell him.

In getting him nsed to the cart, before hitching him up, he
should be allowed to look it all over and touch it with his
nose. I then begin to rub it against him until he will allow

the crossbar to come against his legs, and the thills against
his side, nsing one hand to hold him by the head and the
other to move the thills frcm side to side and the cart back
and forth. Then if he makes a bad move the thills can be
dropped and thus avoid a smashup and ruined horse, which
is often the result if the colt is hitched right up the first
thing before he is accustomed to the movement ol the cart.
After he can be turned around to the right and to the left
without showing any Bigns of fear when the thills or crossbar
hit him, he is ready to be hitched up; and instead of driving
him ten miles the first time, as is often done to take the
"tuck" out of him, I never drive him but a few rods and
back, and hitch him up several times the same day. He
will not get sweaty or chafed then, and will be educated and
not "broke:' (constitution and all). When a colt shows a
great dislike to being hitched up and drives as if in a great
hurry to get into the stable, I very soon have his desires
changed by letting him have his own way. I let him go to
the box stall, then I check him up a few notches and leave
him till he takes a good sweat. It seldom reauired but one
lesson, as any colt likes to go where he gets the best treat-
ment, and they are not slow to learn.

Every colt should be taught to stop at the word, whether
they are going ahead or backing up, as it will often prevent
serious accidents. I have often noticed that fast horses are
often slow thinkers, and one should not be too anxious to hit
them with the whip if they do not start the instant they are
spoken to. They should always be started on a turn, to the
right or left, and given their head as soon as the guiding
line has been pulled just a little, when the word is given.
Should he back up or rear, I stop him and back him up or
turn him the other way, or take him by the head or do any-
thing to change his mind a little, for if you have one set
role to follow he will also have one set rule to follow, and it
is usually a bad one. When teaching him to back do not
pull on him till his neck forms the letter 8, but give him a
quick but firm jerk that will set him back before he has a
chance to think or brace himself. Then instantly cease on
the lines and say "back." After repeating it once or twice
he will back all you want him to by just giving the lines
short, quick jerks, and later by a steady pull, but the instant
yon Bee him begin to twist his neck and brace himself you
must stop pulling and take him by surprise again. In this
way a horse will soon ham to back almcst as much as he
can pall.

In an article like this it is impossible to touch on but a
few of the main features of horse training, so I will close
hoping that I have at least given one new idea that will be
helpful tz the reader. — E. C. Eaglesfield in Christmas Horse

The Broodmare and Colt.

Altamont 2:26 3-4 and Arthur W. 2:11 1-2.

Never select a mare for breeding purposes unless she is a
good individual, not one with any bony enlargements or de-
fective hocks. Select one with a well shaped -head and an
intelligent eye.

Breed her to a stallion that has individuality, and from a
family that reproduces. Give her the usual work or exercise
she has been accustomed to up to a reasonable time before
foaling.

The mare at time of foaliog should be in a commodious
box stall, or better, in a paddock or field, if weather is favor-
able. After foaliog give the mare plenty of nutritious food;
bran, crushed oats, etc., stimulating her nourishment for the
foal.

Teach the foal to eat with the mare as soon as possible;
fence off a small place for him to run in and out of, so the
mare cannot get his feed.

It is a good plan to give the foal an injection of soap and
water shortly after birth, as this will open up his bowels at
once. Many foals are lost by allowing them to become
costive or bound up.

Halter break the colt when a few days old, and break him
early in life to harness, as they are easier handled when
young. The better care and feed he gets the first two years,
especially the first, the better animal you will make of him.
Feed and care is everything in developing a colt.

How to Clean Harness.

To clean a harness and clean it right is a trick that very
few can do, although they would not own np to the fact.
Follow these directions and if you are not pleased with
the result you will be out but little more than your time.
Get a bucket of warm water, rain water if yod can, but it
must be warm. Wash the harness clean, using any good
standard make of harness soap. Full the ends of the straps
ont of the loops, unbuckle the lines from the bridle
squeeze the sponge very often and keep it as clean as you
can. When you have the straps all clean go over them
again with your sponge as clean as you can get it and full
of lather as heavy as if to be used for shaving; then take a
very little of a good harness dressing and coat them over
very lightly. In this last operation you should use but a
very small quantity of the dressing and squeeze the sponge
out very frequently. Wash it out in the water bucket,
Equeez^ it dry as you can, dip it lightly in the dressing
and brush it over the strap. ft will look li fee water at
the first glance, but in a minnte it is dry and you have a
very nice gloss that will not soil hand or glove and to which
the dust will not stick, Ee member that you cannot obtain
satisfactory results withcut warm water and a clean sponge.

Two stallions are making the season of 1900 at J. M
Nelson's stables at the Alameda race track— Altamont 2:26$
and Arthur W. 2:11$. The first named it known in a greater
or less degree to every horseman in America as being one of
the very few stallions, living or dead, that have six 2:10 per-
formers, and we believe the great Onward alone shares with
him the honor of having six with records better than 2:10.
Altamont, purchased by Jay Beach when but a very young
horse, passed the greater part of his life in Oregon and
Washington, where high claes mares were few, bat from
them he got Chehalis 2:04}, Del Norte 2:08, Doc Sperry 2:09,
Pathmont 2:09}, Ella T. 2:08£ and Altao 2:09*, besides three
others in the 2:15 list and 41 in the 2:30 list.

Almont 33, the sire of Altamont, was one of the greatest cf
speed progenitors and probably has more descendants in the
standard list than any other horse. He sired 37 standard
performers, 96 of his £oob produced 419 standard trotterB and
123 standard pacers up to the close of 1898, while 74 of his
daughters produced 95 trotters and 22 pacers with standard
records up to the same time. The number of his grandsons
and granddaughters that are producers is- very large and the
number of his descendants in the list runs up into the thous-
ands.

Sue Ford, the dam of Altamont, waa also the dem o*
Alburn and Trouble, both producing sirep, and was a very
highly formed mare, having great style and much quality,
which her Bon Altamont almost invariably reproduces in his
offspring. Sue Ford's dam waa a thoroughbred mare by
imp. Hooton, out of a mare by imp. Buzzard, blood that ie
of the best that England has contributed to this country. At
25 years of age Altamont is in full strength and vigor, and
Mr. Nelson reports that 90 per cent, of the mares bred to him
last year are now in foal.

Arthur Wilkes 2:11} has made an excellent reputation on
the race track, and from his breeding and individuality he
ehould, with time and opportunity, attain to greatness in the
stud. He has been raced since his three year old form.
Foaled in 1894, he started firBt in 1897, taking a mark of
2:15} that year and winning most of his races, never being
outside of the money but once. As a four year old he
started but three times, winning once and being second twice
to Little Thorne 2:09J.

Last year he was one of the beBt winners on the California
circuit and reduced his record to 2:11}. In his career
Arthur W. has started fourteen times, winning six races, four
second moneys, was twice third, once second and unplaced
but once. He is a big, strong going horse, game as a pebble
and has shown wonderful speed.

His breeding is worth studying. His eire, Wayland W.
2:12}, was a good race horse, his grandsire, Arthur W. 2:28},
sired" Welcome 2:10}, Wayland W. 2:12*, Hobo 2:14}, Fitz
Lee 2:13} and other fast ones, while his great grandsire Guy

greatest of sires.

Arthur W.'s dam is Lady Moor, who is also the dam of
John A, (3) 2:14, a full brother to Arthur W. Lady Moor
is by Grand Moor and he is not ooly a producer of speed, but
is the sire of the dams of five 2:15 performers, including the
dams of Joe Wheeler 2:07}, Arthur W. 2:11}, and Hum-
boldt Maid 2:13} Grand Moor was a royally bred horse,
beicg a son of The Moor sire of the great Beautiful Bells,
and out of Vashti a producing daughter of Mambrino
Patchen. The dam of Lady Moor waa a daughter of Finch's
Glencoe, he by imported Glencoe, and the next dam a
daughter of Williamson's Belmont. In the pedigree of
Arthur W. as tabulated above, every dam given, except the
thoroughbreds, are producers, and every sire except the
thoroughbreds are producers of speed and all on the top line
have records. Arthur W. should be one of the moat valuable
additions to the list of stallions doing duty in California this

year.

San Francisco, Saturday, January 6, 1900.

THE GREATEST MISTAKE made by the District
Fair Associations of California has invariably been in
failing to make an early official announcement of the
date of their meetings and the amount of purses to be
ottered. While this entirely unnecessary delay on the
part of the associations has led to some inconvenience
and loss to trainers and horse owners, the loss to the
associations themselves has been far greater, and in
many cases has resulted in making their meetings fail-
ures and sometimes necessitated their being abandoned
or declared off entirely. It is to be hoped that the
year 1900 will not see a repetition of this error on the
part of the district boards. The time for these officials
to get together is right now and every district in the
State should be ready to officially announce by February
1st, whether it will hold a fair and race meeting during
the year, where it is to be held and what dates are
claimed for it. It is not necessary to name the date of
closing entries. The Board should be able to decide by
that time how many days' racing it can give, how many
purses and of what value, and on what track they will
be decided. Let us take the Solano District as an ex-
ample. The Directors of that association could meet
this month and by the first of February send out the
following official notice to horsemen : " The Solano
Fair for 1900 will be held at Vallejo during the month
of August. The speed program will consist of three
harness events per day for six days. The purses will

range from $ to $ each. Entries will close

July 1st, and classes will be announced June 1st.
Signed, Secretary." If the Solano Association and
every district association in the State could make such
an announcement by February 1st, there would be such
a revival ot horse training in the State that every race
track would be filled. The now comparatively idle tracks
at Petaluma, Napa, Woodland, Bed Bluff, Chico and
many other points would be occupied daily with horses
being trained for the meetings, and thousands of dollars
put in circulation that will otherwise be idle. The
Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
Association will meet some time this month to talk over
the situation and an announcement of this organiza-
tion's program for 1900 will thereafter be made. The
district boards should be ready to act by that time and
by so doing not only insure harness horsemen an oppor-
tunity to race, but by exciting a greater interest in Buch
matters insure successful and profitable meetings in
every fair district.

THE SPLAN-NEWGAS8 SALE which will be
held in Chicago during the last three days of this month
and the first three of next, is attracting wide attention
all over the east and west and there is certain to be a
large attendance of the best buyers in America and
Europe. The horses consigned are a choice lot, the
name of Manager 2:00:;, Nutwood's fastest son being
among them, and there are sons and daughters of Alcan-
tara, George Wilkes, Wilton, Stamboul, Onward, Guy
Wilkes, AUerton and many others of the great sires.
Milo Knox is getting his consignment ready at the Ala-
meda track. Da Bernardi Basler 2:lGi and Billy Mc-
Kinley 2:25 .re among them. The California consign-
ment i ^ a lot of horses as have been sent East
-nine time and they should meet with

Death of D. B. Knight.

Just as we go to press the sad news comes to us by
telegraph of the death Friday morning of Mr. D. E,
Knight, of Marysville, President of the Pacific Coast
Trotting Horse Breeders Association, Director of the
State Agricultural Society and one of the pioneer busi-
ness men and manufacturers of this State. Mr. Knight
came to California in 1852 and six years later settled
in Marysville, where he resided with his wife until the
day of his death, and where he built a large fortune
by his own abilities and honest endeavors. Among the
enterprises in which he led and was the principal owner
were the celebrated Woolen Mills, the Electric Light
and Gas Company, the Yuba City Railway, the Empire
Foundry, the Decker-Jewett Bank, the Evening Demo-
crat and many other of the leading institutions of the
city of Marysville. Mr. Knight was one of the earliest
horse breeders of the Slate and breeding and racing
trotters was his diversion. He has had the satisfaction
of seeing a colt of his breeding win the rich Occident
Stake, and his horses were always entered at the district
fairs and driven for the money in every heat. His
death is a most serious loos to the harness horse breeding
and racing industry of California, and to the State and
especially the city and county of his residence, bis de-
mise is an actual calamity. Mr. Knight was a son of
Vermont, having been born in the town of Tunbridge
74 years ago. He was an upright, honorable citizen
whose life was an open book and whose example to his
fellow-man has always been worthy of emulating. No
man in California will be more sincerely mourned by
those who know him than he.

THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING that
there is a genuine healthy revival in the trotting horse
industry. The prices received in the East and in Cali-
fornia recently for fast and promising trotters were suffi-
cient, but the number of entries being received in all
the trotting Btakes adds still more to the convincing
testimony. The Occident, Stake for 1902, which will be
trotted at the California State Fair of that year, has
nearly, if not quite, a hundred entries, which is about
30 more than it has ever heretofore received. The pay-
ments on the races for this and next year are more numer-
ous in proportion than formerly and this is also true of
the Stanford Stake. The owners of trotters intend to
train them and that means good times for horsemen. It
is to be a prosperous new year.

ATTENTION IS CALLED to the fact that twenty-
five rich stakes offered by the Brighton Beach Racing
Association for the season of 1900 will close on Thurs-
day next, January 11th. During the past few years
this association has expended a vast amount of money
in beautifying its grounds, and it is now one of the most
commodious and convenient race tracks in the country
The stakes to close next Thursday have added money in
every instance and will be worth quite large sums to
the winners, while the terms are most liberal. Entries
to the same should be addressed to Secretary, Brighton
Beach Racing Association, 215 Montague Street, Brook-
lyn, N. Y.

A COMPETENT STARTER will be one of the ab-
solute necessities to make the harness racing season en-
tirely successful in California this year. It seems to be
the consensus of opinion among those who are interested
in the matter that there is at present no home talent
available which can be secured with any assurance of
being satisfactory, and that some competent person from
beyond the Rockies should be employed to visit Califor-
nia during the harness racing season of 1900, and wield
the flag at all the meetings on the main circuit. Of
course it is beyond question for any one organization to
stand the expense of bringing a competent starting judge
clear acrosB the continent for one week's meeting as the
expense would be far too great, but if say six or seven
of the districts could combine with the State Fair and
Breeders Association a starter could be secured at a not
too heavy expense. There is no doubt that with good
judges in the stand, a good starter, and a firm determi-
nation on the part of all associations to strictly enforce
the rules, harness racing can be made very popular in
this State. A competent starter is probably the most
serious consideration at present, and it seems to be the
general opinion that he should come from outside the
State. A stranger will command more respect from
drivers, and if he comes with a reputation for strictly and
impartially enforcing all rules he will find that his task
is not a difficult one. We believe the drivers of Cali-
fornia will average as well for deportment and fairness
as the reinsmen of any State in the Union, and it only
needs firm, fair and competent men in the stands to
demonstrate this fact. Let us have a first class starter
and competent judges. The horsemen will then do their
part.

THE STALLION STAKE given by the California
State Agricultural Society and which closed January 1st,
promises being one of the richest stakes to be run for in
America, and many are already predicting that it will
be worth $20,000. Returns are not all in yet, but up to
Tuesday, January 2d, Secretary Shields had received 78
entries. No other stallion stake ever received as many
Directors of the society and Secretary Shields are to be
congratulated over the result. Next week we shall
give a list of all the nominations and present some com-
ments upon them.

HORSE OWNERS Bhould remembar that the breed-
ing season has already begun and they cannot make
their announcements too early. Some half dozen
stallions are already advertised in this issue and this is
the first week of the new year. The Breeder and
Sportsman is prepared to print thoroughly up to date
stallion cards, with half-tone engravings of the horse,
tabulated pedigrees, etc., at most reasonable terms. Send
in your orders to this office and have the work done
ligbt.

A New Years Day Trot.

At Santa Maria, down in Santa Barbara connty, the festiv-
ities incidental to ushering in the new year were added to
by a match race between three horses well known in that
vicinity, each of which had its admirers and consequently
also had its backers among the crowd that went out to the
track to see the question of supremacy decided.

The horses named for this race were the stallion Thompson
2:14J by Boodle 2:X2J, owned by Mr. J. B. Bonetti, the bay
horse Adjutant by Electro, son of Electioneer, owned by C.
O. Thoroquest, and Leader, a son of Tom Benton, owned
by W. S. Lierly. The race was for $50 a corner, with $100
added by the Driving Association, which brought the purse
up to $250, and the event drew a large crowd to the track.
Mr. Bonelti had secured the services of the well known
reinsman B. O. Van Bokkelen to pilot his horse, but Mr.
Thorcquest and Mr. Lierly held the lines behind their own
entries and both are expert ''teamsters."

The day was not a favorable one for fast time, and the
track was six or seven seconds slow, being heavy and rough.
The horses were all out to win if they oould however. Ad-
jutant was under the wire first in the first heat in 2:21, and
he is probably the first horse to lower his record this year.
It formerly stood at 2:23J, Phompion was second in the heat
and Leader third.

After this the big Boodle horse won in three straight beats
the summary of the race being as follows:

Special Blatch Race— ?250.

After this race was finished there was a quarter mile and
repeat race for saddle horses in which seven horses started.
Butcher Boy won the first heat, and Flavorite the next two,
the time beiog 0:25, 0:25} and 0:26.

Hambletonian Wilkes.

Horses Not Degenerating.

Geo. WilkeB, the orphan colt raised "on the bottle," lived
to be one of the great race horses of his day and in the stud
founded the greatest trotting family in the history of the
turf, in that his descendants have won more races and more
money tban thoae of any other Bire.

Here in California there is at the present time but one son

of this great horse, this ie Hambletonian Wilkes 1679, and

he is himself a great Bire of race horses, among his get being

Ptcebe Wilkes 2:08i, Tommy Mac 2:111, New Era 2:13,

Sybil 8. 2:16|, Arline Wilkes 2:11}, Bocker 211 and

twenty-five others with records better than 2:30. Maud

Murray, a daughter of Hambletonian Wilkes, recently Bold

for $1500 to an Australian dealer, and it ie reported that

she trotted a trial mile in 2:12 since reaching Europe and

was resold for $5000. "The Geo. Wilkes blood is the best

for race horseB," says a well known trainer, and if so breel

era should get it as close to its source ae possible. George

Wilkes' record was 2:22 and he is up to the close of 1898 the

sire of 72 trotters and 11 pacers with standard records, he

has 96 producing boob that have sired 1414 trotters and 586

pacers in the list, while 88 of his daughters produced 132

standard performers. Geo. Wilkes was by Hambletonian 10

out of Dolly Spanker, whose pedigree unfortunately has

never been clearly established, but has been the subject of

endless controversy among tnrf writers. Dolly Spanker was

once registered in the books as by Henry Clay ont of the mare

Telegraph by Baker's Highlander, and it may yet be proven

some day that this breeding is correct.

The dam of Hambletonian Wilkes was Mag Lock, a

by Hambletonian 10. Lady Irwin was the grandam of
Lumps 2; 21. It will be seen that Hambletonian Wilkes has
two crosses of the old Hero of Chester close up. His get
here in California have invaiiably been good lookers, and
show great speed, and at Green Meadow Farm at 8anta
Clara where Hambletonian Wilkes will probably make the
season of 1900, can be seen some of the beBt looking two and
three year olds by him that were ever foaled on a California
farm. In this day when the rule is to breed to the beBt
Hambletonian Wilkes should get a lsrge patronage from the
leading breeders.

$250 For Gaff Topsail Three Tear Olds.

Mr. Eavanagh, of Vallejo, California, who owns the chest-
nut stallion Gaff Topsail 2:171, has decided to place him in
the stud this year, and as an inducement to have the get of
the horse trained has offered a purse of $250 for them to
compete for on the Vallep track in 1904. Gafi Topsail is
undoubtedly one of the fastest sons of Diablo 2:09} and is
much faster than his record. His sire, Diablo, is one of
the beBt bred horses in America, and thib year seven of his
get got standard marks, more new performers than any Cali-
fornia stallion, and Clipper 2:09:1 paced the fastest mile paced
in the State by a green horse.

As will be seen )by the above tabulation Gaff Topsail is a3
well bred as anybody's horse. His dam was by Alcona 730,
one of the handsomest horseB ever brought to California
and a sire of speed. Alcona's sire was the great Almont,
his dam Queen Mary by Mambrino Chief. The dam of
Belle was Stringham, a mare by Jim Lick, he a son of
Homer, Striogham's dam was by the thoroughbred horse
Billy Cheatham, a grandson of the immortal Boaton.

Gaff Topsail is a fine looking animal, with good bone,
sizs and endurance and should prove a successful sire. He
will make the season at the Vallejo race track.

F. A. Russell,

["Iconoclast" In Spirit of the West.]

Probably the most illusive idea that ever found lodgment
in the human brain is that somewhere in the past there was
a "golden age" when the men were stroDger, wiser, braver,
the women more beautiful, more lovely; when the flowers
were a brighter hue, ihe Bkies were less cloudless and serene,
and the human life was a scfene of perpetual peace and
Arcadian beauty. Fuels eigh for and philosophers sometimes
deEcant upon the "good old times," which they tell us have
gone, never to return.

All this is a little more than idle dreaming. We are
living not only in the best, but the oldest times the world
has ever Been. The men are as strong, as brave as they have
ever been in the world's history, and each succeeding gener-
ation adds to their wisdom. No century haB ever produced
a roll of great men in every department of science, cf art, of
literature, in statesmanship and in war superior to that of
the nineteenth and any nineteenth-century lover will swear
that the maid of his choice is more bea itiful than Helen or
Cleopatra.

It has always been the fashion to laud ths superiority of
the past. Homer makes old Nestor boast of the prodigies of
strength and valor performed by the contemporaries of his
youth, and Scott puts in the mouth of one of his heroes a
lament for the decay of "Scottish strength in modern day."
It is probable that in the mere natural qualities with which
the human race is endowed there is little difference between
the different ages. The Grecian art and Grecian culture of
3000 years ago were equal to any modern art or any mod-
ern culture. Occasionally there are phenomenal men who
really do not belong to any age or country. They belong to
the world and to all time. Homer was born in Greece and
Shakespeare was born in England, after an interval of sev-
eral thousand years, but though each took the mould of the
country and age in which he lived, each belonged to human-
ity and to all time.

The capacity of the human race to produce poets, orators,
statesmen and heroes is perennial, is indestructible. It has
never died. It has never faltered. Environment sometimes
affects the apparent operation of the laws under which it ie
manifested, but change the environment and the same capac-
ity again appears. For almost every great crisis a man
presents himself who is equal to it.

The occasion dees not make Ihe man, it only affords op-
portunity for the exercise of his powers. Without the
French revolution we would have had no Napoleon sb he ap-
pears to us now, but we would have had a great law giver, a
great administrator, a great orator, a great mathematician, or
possibly a great poet. He possessed the elements of all these
characters, i' biers said that "to the genius of a geometer he
added the imagination of a poet."

It is not true, as has been asserted, that the men of Ihe
present are "men of small stature, mere parts of a crowc";
born too late, when the strength of the word has been bowed.'7
Our late war proved that. The age that produced the heroes
and statesmen of that war was as heroic as any in history, and
the age that could produce a Tennyson and a Swinburne, a
Carlyle, a Macauley, a DtQuincy, a Dickens, a Thackeray, a
George Eliot, a Darwin, a Huxley, a Tyndall, a Bismarck
and a Gladstone is not an age of pigmies. Future genera
tions will no doubt look back upon the nineteenth century as
at least one of the golden ages.

It may seem Uke a great descent to stoop from the heroes
and sages of ancient and modern times to discuss horses, and
possibly it ie; but, as the reader knows, it is at least to some
minds a question which is the nobler animal, man or horse,
and in estimating the relative merits of horses of the present
day and their remote progenitors the same principles are apt
to control our judgment as in comparing latter day men with
their progenitors. Old men (the Nestors of the turf) still
like to descant upon the speed and stamina of the horses they
knew in their younger days.

Who is there that has been a horse owner from his youth
up that has not owned or driven "Ihe beBt road horse or
mare in the world?" I plead guilty to having had several
of that kind myself. Who is there that has not had some
prodigy of speed, but alas never tested by that illusion de-
stroyer, a stop watch? Who is there that has not owned a
colt that if afforded the opportunity, would have eclipsed
Electioneer or George Wilke3? Every old driver has at
some time had a horse in charge, either his own or some one
else's, that was really the most remarkable the world had
ever Been. How many such "flowers have been born to blush
unseen I"

The Bimple, naked nnadorned fact is that we have better
horses to-day than we ever had before for the purpose for
which they are used. We have trotting eires that are greater
by far than Hambletojian, and will prove greater than Elec-
tioneer or George Wilkes. The greatest pacing sire that
the world has ever seen is still living and doing stud service)
but he is likely in time to be surpassed by some of his sons,
for instance, Star Pointer. We have as fast and as game
race horses. The two mile record has been broken in Europe
this year, and the half-mile (t fficial time) record waB frac-
tured by two horaea at Lexington. Early speed trials have
simply been dazzling in their brilliancy, even if at some
times injudicious. These trials, however, show what the
young things are capable of.

There are horses in training that should be able to break
all the records, if not this year, then the next, or Ihe follow-
ing. What matters a jear or two ? The world never saw
such speed capacity as is now exhibited upon our race tracks.
We started out to creale a race of trotting horses, and we've
done it. No one can walch the training year after year on
our tracks as I have done and question the truth cf this
proposition. True, we find occasionally a reversion to Borne
old plug ancestor that couldn't Irot "a little bit," but Ibis
kind is getting scarcer every year. Nearly all of (hem lhat
are trained can do something fairly res; ectable, and the beBt,
why, they are 6imply wonders 1 Talk about the trotter being
still in Ihe formative stage! If this be true I'd like to live
to see the time when he is fully formed. He will be a
prodigy and no miBlake. When he can go to the quarter
pole in 29 seconds and to the half in 1.01, he'il do pretty
well, won't he?

And stamina ! Just watch tbem beicg trained and then
talk about stamina. Three, four, five and six heats, and each
beat a speed trial 1 There never was another horse capable
of such exertions. There isn't a long distance record now
standing that couldn't easily be beaten by horses now on oar
tracks. The trouble is that trainers don't want to waste
time training for long distance reiords. There are 00 prizes
for them, and the horses we are training that could perform
such feals are too busy getting ready to win money in Ihe
big stakes and purses.

Let the association offer $5000 to a horse that will beat the
two, three or four-mile record and the feat will be accom-
plished next year by probably a half dczen horses. These
long distance records have mostly been taken with very in-
ferior horses to those we now have. Looking at the matter
from a business standpoint I think it would be well to have a
few long distance races now, for trotters of this kind are just
what our cousins across tho water are pining for. There
isn't the slightest doubt that we could supply them. Whether
one or two of such races wouldn't add to the strength of a
trotting program ib a matter well worth pondering over.

If there had been any doubt as to the fact that the pacer is
now a better animal than ever before, it would have been
set at rest by the performances of snch horses aB JoePatchen,
John R. Gentry and more than all, Star Pointer. It had
been discovered years ago that the pacer had the speed to go
in two minutes, as Weatmont bad done it with a running
mate. But whether he could carry such a clip for a mile
drawing a sulky and driver was the question. This is now
happily settled, and the next problem is to find others that
do the same thing besides Star Pointer. I feel very confi-
dent that it will be done, and it would not at all surprise me
if it should be done next year.

One dcee not have to look to the remote past fcr pedigree3
of trotting and pacing speed. The "golden age" of trotterB
and pacers is now. We are not quite past improvement yet>
but we are well along toward the summit of the hill; at least
we are able to look over the top into the promised land.
We are now producing the horses that can get there. When
a four year old stallion with one season's handling can trot a
mile in 2:12$ and a quarter in 31} seconds, we haven't far
to go.

I believe also that the thoroughb.ed is now a better horee
for the purpose for which he is used than ever before. I do
not believe that he is as good a long distance horse, but then
he is not used much for long distances. A long distance race
is a rare event, and I suppose nowadays it is hardly worth
while to breed for that class of horses. People breed for the
market and the market demands sprinters. Occasionally a
horse is bred that can go a long distance, but my information
is that they are rather rare. However; we'll not quarrel
about this, but let the running people do things in their own
way, which they are tolerably sure to do anyhow. They are
breeding a horse that is admirably adapted to their purpose,
and that's want they want. That's all they could do with
Lexington, Boston or 8ir Archy. In getting race horses, I
believe that Hanover was as successful as any of them, so
that even among the runners there is no necessity to go back
into the misty past to find the great horses.

Owners preparing horBes for market would do well to
bear in mind the advice of one of the largest dealers in the
country, who writes »s follows: "We are particularly
anxious to impress en would-be consignors that what we
want are useful horses — something that a man can use for
pleasure or business immediately. Our customers have not
the time or disposition to buy a horse and wait on him to
get in condition for me. A horse, to be useful in the cityi
must be absolutely fearless of all objects that he comes in
contact with. He mUBt havestyle, manners, speed andaction
enough to make him pleasant to ride behind. Men who
Bend ch esp and poorly conditioned animals to Ihe sale will
be bound to meet with disappointment, as we have absolutely
no demand for that class of goods."

W. O. Foote says John Nolan 2:08 is wintering splendidly
and he looks for him to be faster than ever next seasou.

Mambeino Kikg was not bred by Ihe late Dr. Herr as

without a record.

John Dickbbson has put just a dozen horses in the 2:10

great horse, but Mr. Williams is one of the best advertisers
in the United States. He keeps Allerton and his get before

Allerton boom. Herein he is wise.

A new grandstand just finished on the trotting track at
Moscow, Russia, is the most expensive building of the kind
in the world. It took the government over two years to
build it, and it cost $500,000. It is build of stone and brick,
is a three decker 300 feet long and 150 feet wide; the walls
are three feet thick and it has a double glass front.

The scarcity of horses in the southern part of the State

Walter Masten of Woodland shipped twenty-five horses
to the Hawaiian Islands this week. There were some good
road horses among them, the others being general purpose
horses.

will campaign on the Oregon tracks next summer. They
are all colts and green horses.

When tbe new stalls were built at Pleasanton Training
Track, me ly of the stalU were 6ued with doorb a little less
than four feet in width, which is too narrow for a box stall
door. T 'is defect has now been remedied, and carpenters

Jesse D. Carr has sold his rancho Cienege del Gabilan,
in San Benito county, to Charles and Henry Bardin, of
Salinas. The ranch comprises 5 107 acres, and is appraised
in the sale at $49,000. In exchange therefor the Bardin
Bros, transfer the Bardin House, in SalinaB, which is valued
at $40,000 to the Salinas Valley Land Company, of which
Mr. Carr is the head.

Caft. Ben E. Harris is engaged in breaking a two year
old filly by John Sevenoaks, out of Frona Freeman, by Ad-
venture, that can lead to halter as fast as anything that goes
on four legs. She threw her head against the Captain's face
the other day aud made his lip look as though it belonged to
one of the deck hands that used to tote freight on his Mississ-
ippi rivei steamer forty years ago. Captain Harris is 76
years old, but few young men can handle and educate a
horse as well as he. He says the filly is the greatest one he
ever owned.

The widely circulated report that the well-known Ameri-
can stallion Baron Rogers 2:09|, recently lowered tbe four
mile trotting record to 9:32 in a race at Moscow, Russia, turns
oat to be untrue. The distance trotted by the son of Baron
Wilkes was six versts, or 120 feet less than four English
miles. His speed for the distance was greater than any
trotter has yet shown in Russia or elsewhere, and there can
be no doubt that if he had gone on he would have established
a four mile mark far below the champion mark of 9:58 made
by Bertie R. 2:12} at Blackpool, England, last fall.

James Thompson, the well known trainer, disposed of all
the horses, vehicles, harness, etc., of his Van Ness avenue
livery stable at auction last Tuesday, Chase & Mendenhall
acting as auctioneers. A pouring rain fell during the entire
day, which undoubtedly kept many people away but very
fair prices were obtained. Mr Thompson will go to Pleasan-
ton next week and open a public training stable there. He
has the fast green mare Monica by McKinney which is con-
fidently expected to get a low record, and will have another
green one in his string that will be "a surprise" as he
terms it.

Papinta, the well known danseuse, arrived in California
during the last week of the old year, and went to her stock
farm near Concord, Contra Costa county, for a month's
srjourn. She was accompanied on her Eastern tour by her
husband Mr. W. J. Holpin, who says he got back just in
time to enter their stallion El Ravo, and several of his get in
the big California stakes that closed during the first few
days of the year. Mr. Holpin has a four year old which he
calls Gladstone, that is a very promising trotter. He is by
Altamont, sire of six better than 2:10, out of Maggie Arnold
the dam of Naylox 2:30 and AUago, sire of four in tbe list,
next dam Alice Drake (dam of Norman Medium 2:20) by
Norman 25.

A new line of work has been established by the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals in a series of
lectures to be delivered by Prof. E. A. A. Grange at the
American Horse Exchange, [New York. The society pro-
poses to educate citizens in all the knowledge appertaining
to domestic animals and the sort of treatment needed to bring
out their good points and guarantee fredom from disease and
pain when possible. Prof. Grange organized tbe bacterio-
gical department at tbe Michigan agricultural college at
Laoeiog Mich., and during the latter part of bis fifteen years
connection with the college occupied the chair of Veterinary
Science. The lectures are illustrated with elides and by the
aid of several ill used horses brought in for the occasion.

Secretary Wilsjn's order of October £lst, relating to
the veterinary inspection of animals for export, was put into
etlect as regards horses the first of the new year. After in-
spection only hordes free from disease and shown not to
have been exposed to contagion will be allowed to be
shipped. Shippers are required to notify the inspector of
intended shipments, tbe number and destination of cars, and
shall inform inspectors of the locality from which animals
have been brought and the name of the breeders. Any
horses that are offered for shipment which have not been
inspected and transported in accordance with tbes'e regula-
tions, or are adjudged to be infected or to have been ex-
posed to infection shall not be allowed to be placed upon
any vessel for exportation.

Harry Brown, who haB five young trotters belonging to
Judge W. E. Greene and two or three owned by Mr. I. L,
Borden io his stables on the corner of Second and Harrison
streets, Oakland, has recently added another to the string.
This is a two year old colt belonging to the well known vet-
erinarian, Dr. Stimson of Oakland, and is by a son of Simmi-
colon. He is a very promising youngster and under Mr.
Brown's care will very likely develop into a fast one.

Ed Laffekty moved to Pleasanton this week and has
eeveo stalls occupied at that celebrated track. Addison 2:11,
by James Madison, heads the string, and he has a green
pacer by Guy Wilkes 2:15£, out of Wanda 2:14, that belongs
to Frank H. Burke of this city, and is said to have shown
all the speed to which it is entitled by its inheritance.
Laflerty has a colt by Bay Bird that will bear watching.
He is a handsome fellow and will be a new performer for the
son of Jay Bird this year unless something unforseen happens.
In addition to the. foregoing there are three royally bred
young fillies under Mr. Lafferty's care that were purchased
in Kentucky by Mr. W. E, Lester of this city. They are
by Kremlin 2:07|, Bow Bills and Allie Wilkes and will get
their first lessons at the Pleasanton track this month.

A very amusing case of appeal came up before the
Board of Appeals at Chicago last month. It was a protest
relating to an award at a meeting in a northwestern State in
the past season. Two heats in a race had been won by one
of the drivers. In the third heat another driver drove on
tbe track with a great outfit. On the back of his horse, near
the siddle, he had attached a tin pan, about twenty inches
in diameter, and fastened a small piece of chain to his whip-
lash. The possibilities for music and clatter were great and
the driver made the most of them. Of course, not another
horse could be brought near him, and the tin-clad horse
came in first in three heats and was awarded the race by the
judges over the protests of the contesting drivers. Perhaps
the judges wanted to Bee the joke through. The protest
came before the Board of Review, which reversed the decision
of the judges.

Printer's ink judiciously used is bound to bring results,
and owners of good stallions can obtain them by presenting
their claims to the readers of the horse papers. From pres-
ent indications there will be more breeding done in 1900
than has been done in several years. Owners of mares
should pick the stallions who are successful as sires or if
young horses, those (hat are bred right and have shown
themselves fast. Another and an important thing to be con-
sidered, in selecting a stallion to breed to, is the owner.
There are Bome men who own stallions who never advertise
them in any way, nor ever make an effort to help their get.
Consequently the progeny of their horees fail to fetch much
money in the Bale ring, while the progeny of such horses as
Allerton, Baron Wilkes, etc , sell for fat prices, because their
owners are liberal in the use of printer's ink, and do every-
thing to keep their sires before the public. The moral is
plain. — Chicago Horse Review.

A. L. McDonald, who drove Who Is It to his three year
old record of 2:12, was in town this week, having taken the
opportunity afforded by the rainy weather, of letting the
colts on Mr. A. G. Gurnett's Walnut Creek 8tocfe Farm
stand in their stalls for a couple of days. Mr. McDonald has
broken ten or twelve head during the past few weeks, and
has a string of five that he will put in active training. He
has three four year olds by Direct 2:05$ that are most prom-
ising. One of these is the gray gelding What Is It, out of
Lassie Jean, the dam of Who Is It. There is also a colt out
of Lady W. that Is a big, fine going fellow, and one out of a
mare by Norfolk that shows well. Lassie Jean's two year
old by the Sidney stallion, St. Nicholas, is a chestnut colt
and a handsome, well turned fellow that can show consider-
able speed already, though he has only had a harness on a
few timeB. The farm's entry in the Pacific Breeders' Futur-
ity for 1900 is a three year old colt by McKinney 2:11}, out
of Nellie Fairmont, by Fairmont, son of Piedmoot; next daoa
Nellie, by Whipple's Hambletonian. This colt will be a
high class trotter if no accident happens him. The track at
this farm is an excellent one for working on during the wet
weather, as it is sandy and dries out in a few days. Mr.
McDonald will move his string to the PleaBanton track
about the middle of March and feels confident he will place
several of them low down in the standard list before the
season is over.

E. F. Geers has sold to C. J. and Harry Hamlin, pro-
prietors of the Vitiate Farm, East Aurora. N. Y., hiB three
year old pacing colt Direct Hal, by Direct 2:05$, dam Bessie
Hal, by Tom Hal, for the magnificent sum of $10,000. I
doubt if the history of the pacing horse records a more sen-
sational sale- Just think of it I A three year old untried
pacer selling for $10,000. Surely our friend Trotwood can
sing the Nunc dimittis now. Direct Hal is a black colt and
was bred by Ed Geers. The winter GeerB shipped the Vil-
lage Farm stable to California, Bessie Hal was taken along,
and while there she was bred to Direct 2:05.}, a horse Geers
greatly admired from the time of his great duels with Hal
Pointer. Direct Hal was broken and trained a little as a two
year old. When tbe Village Farm stable reached Louisville
this fall the colt joined the Geers forces, and with a few
weeks training stepped a mile in 2:17. Owing to the ship-
ment of the stable to the home farm his training was discon-
tinued, but Geers believed the colt would have paced in 2:12
the week following had his training been continued. When
the stable reached the covered track stories of the great speed
shown by tbe youngster floated through the air. Mr. C. J.
Hamlin was greatly pleased with tbe youngster, and for sev-
eral weeks has been tryiog to obtain a price on him. Satur-
day, December 23d, Mr. Hamlin visited the covered track, and
after seeing the colt step. ofTered, in tbe presence of a di z?n
people, a check for $10,000 for the son of Direct, which GeerB
accepted. The colt will be raced with the Village Farm
stable next season. Bessie Hsl, I believe, is again in foal to
"the little black rascal." — Gerald Rex in Am. Horse Breeder.

yearlings to the same sale paddocks from a different part of

"And what's the result? More or less sickness is bound
to ensue. It does not develop at occe, of course, but the
germs are there, for a young horse is extremely suscpptible
to sickness under these conditions.

"The purchases are made and the yearlings are ehipped to
their purchasers' quarters at some of the race tracks, where
older horses and good horses are in training condition and
they get the infection, which is generally distemper.

really good class winners already to bis credit.

In the male line Darebin's hopes hereabouts have for some
time rested upon Lndwig, who has stood at Messrs. Guideon
& Daly's Holmdel Farm. To be sure it would hardly be ex-
pected that any Melbourne horse would be preferred to such
a Stockwell horee as His Highness, and doubtless the Holm-
del fortunes have been best served by the priority being
given to the sire of Jean Beraud, His Royal Highness, High
Degree, Neda and Affect. But Ludwig was snch a smasher
during his brief turf career that one cannot help wondering
what would happen if the right mares were found for him,
especially as he represents such a Btrong trebling of Mel-
bourne in the male line.

He is himself by Darebin, he by The Peer, an own son of
Melbourne, while his dam, Bavaria, is by Spendthrift out of
imp. Piccadilly, and both of these latter were descended just
as closely from Melbourne in the male line aB is Ludwig
himself. Then, too, Piccadilly's dam was by Blair At hoi)
he out of Blink Bonny, by Melbourne. Horses bred like
this are apt to be difficult to suit in the stud, judicious in_
breeding to one or more side lines being obviously the best
course, of which we find an illustration in the fact that Lud-
wig has done b la best, in his limited career at Holmdel
with Tarantella, a daughter of The Ill-Used, he by Breadal-
bane, brother to Blair Athol, the alliance also bringing in-
breeding to Lexington in five free generations. Royai
Purple, a full sister to Ludwig, was among the broodmares
sold the other night, and from Bruce Lowe's book, to say
nothing of Vampire's success with Orme in England, we
know that a mare bred like this might well throw a phenom-
enal horse to a stallion whose dam would hit off Btrongly her
inbred blood, if he himself comes from an appropriate male
line.

All this is the more interesting and important when we
find that Darebin has scored a notable success in the male line
in Australia, thiough his son, The Australian Peer, who was
gotten there by Darebin before his purchase by Mr. Haggin*
The Australian Peer amply proved his race courae prowess
by winning such races as the Victoria Derby and Sydney
Cup, in the former defeating Abercorn, and now we find him
represented by a smashing good son in Australian Star, who
came out the weight forage hero of the recent V. A. T. O.
Meeting, and has been sold to Mr. 8. H. Gollan for some
£3000, it being the purchaser's intention to race the colt in
England in 1900. His former owner, Mr. A. Gollan, who is
no relation of the purchaser, took things easy with "the
Star" as a juvenile, which he could well afford to do, as his

"The remedy is simple enough, and Bome day you will see
racing men beginuing to employ it. It U not the fault of
the yearling?. They are j is t like children, and will get
sick. Let the owners take their youngsters away from the
racetracks, and if they get sick let them have that privilege.
But let it be by themselves away from the old horses, where
they can do no harm.

"An old horse, like a full grown man, ha3 twice the
trouble with mumps or scarlet fever as a kid, and I think it
is a shame to subject a matured horse to the chance of being
made sick by contact with a promisctnug lot of yearlings.

"The superintendenis at the various tracks could play a
strong hand in this if they would forbid absolutely the quar-
tering of yearlings on their tracks during the racing season.
They better look out, or they'll have a wheezy little yearling
coming in some day and giving the Cjacorn^cs, Ethelberls,
Imps and other great racehorses sickness and breaking up
the racing for the meeting."

SyA Lion, the crack performer from the 8chorr stable,
started in a sprint race on Wednesday and gave strong indi-
cations that he is nearly due to win. The animal which has
been on the sick list for a long time is commencing to re-
cover his form and with continued improvement will soon
be a hard proposition to defeat.

On Wednesday Barney 8chreiber started a filly by Foul
Shot in a maiden three year old race and captured the coin
in the easiest possible manner. This was one cf tbe good
things that went through, and from the numbers in line be-
hind the bookmakers' boxes it seemed as if everyone present
at the track had a bet on the winner.

Meddler made his first appearance over the sticks acd
ran a fairly good race for a new performer; he dwells too
long at the jumps and consequently loses ground; when this
fault is remedied he will develop Lito one of tbe greatest
hurdle jumpers in the country, as be is certainly able to out*
sprint anything else now competing in the game.

Potente, the bay son of Racine and Pow Pow, has dem-
onstrated that be is possessed of some clasf; in tbe race wbich
he won at Oakland last week he ran a remarkably fast mile,

fair class aged performers, galloped over them and won very
easily.

That the most astute horsemen are not;infallible, and may
be as liable to error as tbe gullible public, was well illus-
trated last Wednesday when Mr. Corngan scratched 8t. Cae-
simer and het several hundred dollars on Sunello, who was
supposed to hold the race safe with the Corrigan entry in the
stable, but who finished last in a field of five after showiDg a
burst of speed for the first quarter.

A measure of wholesome discipline in the shape of a
stiff fine should have been administered to Jockey Bullman
for bis criminal carelessness in allowing Bannockburn to be
beaten after having the race well in band There is a rule
bearing on this subject which states that "jockeys most ride
their horses out at the finish," and it is the duty of tbe
judges to see that it is enforced.

Nick Hall's colors were seen to finish in front for the
first time in many moons on a California track, his four year
old gelding Facade winning in a desperate drive from
Wallenstein owing to the superior horsemanship of Jockey
Bullman. This winner was well backed at Bixes by Charlie
Fair, who made a handsome winning over hie victory in the
profits of wbich Mr. Hall is said to have a share.

Empire Oity Track for Runners.

Those who are best acquainted with the circumstances of
the building of the Empire City trotting track at New York
have always claimed that it would eventually be turned over
to one of the jockey c'ubs and be principally devoted to the
running brigade. That this may be done in the near future
is more than probable, as the following from the New York
Telegraph will show:

"The Empire City track has been the subject of much
comment among turfmen and racegoers. Jt is no longer a
secret that the rapid strides of improvement have made it
impossible to retain the grounds of the Westchester Kacing
Association for race tiack purposes. Surveys have already
been made and plans arranged to cut streets throngh Morri8
Park. This magnificent racing property is extremely de-

The racing season of 1900 was opened at Tanforan Park
on Monday laBt and despite the heavy downpour of rain one
of the largest crowds of the season was in attendance; in fact,
tbe railroad facilities for handling tbe spectators were in-
adequate for such a large gathering. The betting ring was
uncomfortably crowded and but fourteen books being in line,
the bookmakers were kept very busy in accommodating thsir
customers.

JocKtYS Burns and Songer were suspended by the Board
of Stewards of the California Jockey Club on the cloBiog
dav of their meeting. Songpr is charged with baviog been
left at tbe post intentionally on Scotch Plaid and also of
putting up a rather suspicions ride on Red Pirate. Burns
was indefinitely suspended for insubordination, having re-
fused to accept the mount on Sly after being duly engaged,
which necessitated the scratching of Sly at the eleventh hour.

Little Zoroaster made his reappearance on Tuesday and
went to the post favorite in the mile poise race, although
conceding weight to everything in tbe race. He received a
rather ill-jadged ride at the hands of Jockey Bpencer, who

house, superb lawns aod conveniences make it especially de-
sirable, as the clubhouse inclosure is rapidly becoming
attractive to society. Turfmen mourn the faet that it will
be impossible to retain the grounds at Westchester and that
the scene must shift to some other track. Propositions have
already been made by the owners of the Empire City track
to lease that property on reasonable term:, should events
hasten the close of MorriB Park. The Empire City track is
a mile in circumference, with long, wide stretches, and the

turns graded in such a manner that the speed of the horses

in a most exciting finish, the three contenders finishing
heads apart.

On Tuesday Mr. Corrigan Gtarted Vassal for the first time
since 1896 and the old horse won in a gallop over a distance
of six furlongs defeating a fairly good field. In his three
year old form Vassal was a high class performer and ran a
rrile and a quarter at Washington Park in 2:05}, besides
winning some twelve or fourteen races at other distances.

Do Yearllnffs Spread Distemper ?

Central Railroad to put in a line of double track and a
sufficient number of switches to make the Empire City track
one of the most convenient and easy of approach of any of
the tracks in the neighborhood of New York."

Col. William Scully, the well known turfman, thinks no
yearlings should be allowed stall room on race tracks and sets
forth his reasons as follows :

"The subjact of yearlings to a racing man is of in-
terest. The young ones are bred on the best lines available
to the breeder, who broods over the stud book in selecting
the best families to breed from, and his help do all they can
to assist him, for the smallest lad on a stud farm is as proud
of the yearlings as the proprietor himself. The young horse
is brought to the market after the great care that has been
taken to breed him an aristocrat and to rear him io proper
style, and after he has been housed in a sales paddock the
interest in him has just commenced. His history, you might
say, is just beginning.

"The buyer comes along with his money (for they have
got plenty of money around New York to bay yearlings) and
the youngster is looked over by his would-be purchaser and
his trainer several days before the sale while his pedigree,
which has been published in the papers, is being discussed
and every strain of his blood is being analyzed.

A SAFE, SPEEDY AND
POSITIVE CURE.

Ipaline, a three year old filly by Clieviden, the property
of Mr. Sink, made her first appearance and showed boh
speed and gamencss, finishing eecocd to Vassal. It is safe to
predict that she will not remain long in the maiden clas?.

The last day at Oakland was a good one for Dr. Kowell,
who annexed three purses with Iooperioup, Dr. Bernaye and
Sybaris. This is tbe second occasion this season when the
Doctor has won with the same three horses ou the same day.

Whitcomb struck himself in the mile race, stopping
badly in consequence and finishing outside tbe money. The
horse was bleeding freely and Dr. Rowell was at firet of the
opinion that a tendon was severed but on examination the
ir jury proved to be nothing more serious than a deep cut.

White Fern was given the overlook by the public in the
seven furlong event and tbe books layed sixes about her
chances. On the strength of her last race over the Oikland
track she was entitled to favoritism io the rather ordinary
field to which she appeared, and which she defeated in the
easiest possible manner.

LOS ANGELES LIVE BIRD TOURNAMENT.

Fish L'nes.

Striped baBS anglers do not often have opportunity to try
for the bass in the surf after the manner the Eastern angler
indulges in the sport, the reasons for this are obvious; surf
fishing, at least in turbulent water such as the fish frequent8
on the Atlantic Coast, can not be found along our bay shores
and fishing on the ocean beach near this city has nc^
been tried to any great extent as the habits of the fish and
his particular choice of locality are as yet unfamiliar to our
anglers, the sport at present being in but little more than an
experimental or prospective stage. To Al Cumming, we
believe, belongs the honor of making the pioneer catch in
fishing for striped bass in the eurf. Mr. Cumming left for
Salmon creeK (a stream in Sonoma county emptying into the
ocean near Duncan's Point) last week in response to a mes-
sage from Mrs. Colby, of the Ocean View Hotel, to the effect
that striped bass were thick in the lagoon and also that wild
ducks were plentiful in that district.

Our angler found that the bass had been in the lagoon
and creek for seme time patt, but all efforts to strike the
wary fish were not very successful notwithstanding. On
Friday morning of last week Mr. Cumming noticed an im-
mense flock of gulls circling around in the air and also a
great Dumber of sea lions, large and small, disporting and
feeding in the turbulent surges near a point of the shore
close to the lagoon entrance. Surmising that small fish
were being pursued and fed upon at that spot in the surf
and concluding that the bass would take a part in the pro-
ceedings, he made several casts into the storm threshed
waters and was agreeably surprised by a strike and after
some maneuvering through the recurrent undertows he finally
landed a five pound fish. Shortly afterwards he was lucky
enough to land another and smaller one. Besides the bass
hooked he also made a fine catch of red-tailed perch, a fish
which abounds on that particular sand beach. The rod used
was a two pinted steel rod wrapped with silk from tip to the
separable butt (a very effective rod by the way), rigged with
a 15 strand cuttyhunk line and 5 ooght O'Shaughnessy hook
baited with a whole clam.

This tackle is light, strong and effective, but in nany
places on our rock imbedded Coast shores the angler will
find extreme difficulty in preventing bis line from becoming
fast to the many bottom obstacles and also in clearing the
tackle subsequently.

For the fisherman the vicinity of Los Angeles is claimed
to be a small sized paradise, the angler can fish every day in
the year if he wishes. During the season good trout fishing
can be had in almost any of the mountain streams, while
ocean fishing is available at any time. An hour's ride on a
comfortable electric car lands the fisherman on the wharf at
Santa Monica and the same length of time by train will take
him to Redondo or San Pedro, at either of which places
good fishing can be had. Boats are plentiful and cheap, and
expert boatmen are always available at very moderate rates.
The fishing at Catalina is siid to be without an equal at any
point in the country. Her.; leaping tuna, the great ocean
bass, commonly known as the jewfish, and weighing any-
where from 75 to 409 pounds, is taken, as well as the gamey
barracuda and yellowtail, as fine fish as can be found any-
where, besides dozens of varieties of smaller fry.

Pigeon Shooters Interfered "With By the Hu"
mane Society.

The net fisherman near the mouth of the Russian river
possibly believed in the apparent safety from consequences
that might attend any attempts in furthering their nefarious
poaching by reason of comparatively long immunity from
seizures on the river — ' hal belief was based on slight founda-
tion. Deputy Fish Commissioners Cross and Kerchival
captured two large set nets last Friday morning. The loss
of the nets is a serious one at ton time, boxes of steelhead
are bringing good prices in the market at present. The
capture is an important one, inasmuch as 1200 miles of
trout water are tributary to the mouth of the Russian river,
and illicit operations of the kind indicated at this season
would have a serious influence in checking the propagation
of steelhead trout.

The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club will hold a regular
monthly meeting next Tuesday evening. The jolly anglers
and their friends will discuss business matters, 6shing and
other subjects germain over the banquet board. As the en-
tertainment will include choruses by the Club, members have
been requested to bring their voices. A pleasing program of
vocal and instrumental selections has been prepared. The
banquets of the club during the past year have been particu-
larly pleasant and congenial meetings, the dinner next week
will by no means be an exception to the rule.

On the 1st and 2d Sundays in February the club tackle
will be at Stow Lake and new members will ba instructed in
the various events.

The Chicago Fly-Casting Club closed the season of 1899
with a banquet on the evening of December 26tb. Thirty
members were present. The awards of medals, for highest
averages in eight contests, were as follows:

Class A — Long distance, I. H. Bellows, 118 1-8 feet. Dis-
tance and accuracy, F. N. Peet, 88 7-8. Accuracy and deli-
cacy. C. A. Lippincott, 96 1-8. Bait-castiDg, H G. Haacall,
94 87-120.

CIbbs E — Long distance, A. C. Smitb, 10O| feet. Distance
and accuracv, H. Greenwood, 84 19 24. Accuracy and
delicacy, C F. Blown, 86 11-48. Bait-casting, H. W. Perce,
92 7-60. I. H. Bellows won the All-Round Championship
Cup for the season.

The annual live bird tournament of the Los Argeles Gun
Club commencing on Sunday, December 31st and concluded
on New Year's Day bids fair to become a cause celebre in the
annals of trap shooting on the Pacific Coast. Previous to
the meeting the sportsmen were apprised that representatives
of the Humane Society of Los Angeles, would be present and
that arrests would follow the shooting of live pigeons. The
members of the society claim that the sport is unnecessary
and gives unnecessary pain, and therefore, under the statute,
is cruelty to animals. They base their claim on the recent
decision rendered by Justice of the Peace James in the Black
coursing case, which was upheld by Superior Judge Smith
of Los Angeles. The latter in giving his decision said :

"Defendant cites the case of Commonwealth vs. Lewis, 140
Penn. 261. That was a prosecution under a statute which
provided, 'Any person who shall wantonly or cruelly ill-
treat any animal shall be punished,' etc. The defendant in
that case was accused of cruelly shooting and wounding a
pigeon. The facts were that defendant, as a member of a
gun club, shot pigeons from a trap, and one was merely
wounded and not killed, and hence the prosecution. The
court held it no infraction of the statute, but the Pennsyl-
vania statute is unlike our own. There it was merely a ques-
tion of the pain and sufiaring of the bird, and not a question
as to whether it was a necessary killing. 0_ir statute would
seem to make the needless killing of any animal a misde-
mernor. The Pennsylvania statute has reference entirely to
the mode of killing. Its reasoning is that the defendant had
a right to kill the pigeon, and if not unnecessarily tortured
it was no infraction of their statute. So that the case cannot
throw much light on the one at bar.

'The Missouri case, cited by defendant (4 Mo., Court of
Appeals, 215), is under a statute similar to our own. There
shooting pigeons from a trap was held not unlawful, and that
the killing was not needless, as it tended to promote skill in
marksmanship. The court says: lYet in favor of those sports
which are considered healthful recreations and exercise, tend-
igo to promote strength! bodily activity and courage, the
pain that comes with a lingering death in tho lower animals
is often disregarded in the customs and laws of highly civi-
lized people.' But no such justification can be urged for
coursing. It is not a pastime that develops skill in any di-
rection that by any possibility can benefit the public or
State."

There has been more or less agitation for some time past
concerning the matter of cruelty in pigeon shooting, chiefly
fomented by members of prevention of cruelty organizations,
in view of this, the disposition of two cases by learned
jurists may be of some interest and value to sportsmen who
are molested by the mistaken zeal of individuals who imagine
that their personal vagaries and whimsical desires are the
true standards of what is cruel and what is not. The first
case is from the records of the Quarter Sessions Court of
Alleghany county, Pa , 1892, and was quite an important
one, being the Commonwealth vs. Denny et. al. The defend.
antB were acquitted. In the second case of the Commonwealth
vs. Lewis, cited above, judgment and fine was entered against
the defendent in the lower court. The case was then taken
on appeal to the Supreme Court where judgment was re-
versed and defendant acquitted. Another case is the recent
Colorado decision where a statute provides that shooting
pigeons by any regularly organizsd club is lawful, yet in the
face of this law the Denver Humane Society attacked one
club but was defeated before the courts.

We are inclined to believe that the fact, that live bird
shooting is indulged in by gen'Iemen as a sport has more to
do with the matter than the question of cruelty. Sume
people have an unhappy faculty of condemning;aoything and
everything in the nature of sport or recreation in which
they themselves have no particular or immediate interest or
capacity to enjoy. Of these gentry we might say they are
built on the lines of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, neither up-
right nor good and undeserving of the trust imposed in them.
The society efficers desired to arrest every shooter on Sun-
day who shot a bird, but Sheriff Hammel would.not make
more arrests than necessary to make a test case.

It had been arranged that Deputy Sheriff Harrington
Smith should make the arrests and confiscate one gun and
one trap. He was to bring the offender to the city, where
Justice James was waiting to name bail. At 9 o'clock an
electric car arrived at the club's new grounds near Sherman,
bringing there Messrs, A. W. Bruner, Chae. Van Valken-
burg, J. S. Nicholson, J. 8. Sedam of the club, Deputy
Sheriff Smitb, in company with Humane Officer Craig and
F. A. Seymour, president of the society; Messrs. C. W. Sex-
ton, A. E. McConnell, £. Fickett, F. E. Palmer, Newton
Hogan, all members of the Humane Society.

About an hour was lost in waiting for the birds and fixiog
up the traps; then E. Vaughau stepped up to shoot in the
first event. The trap was opened, a pigeon flew forth, one
shot killed it and Vaughan started to retire.

"You are under arrest, Mr. Vaughan," said Deputy Smith,

"All right, Mr. 8heriff," replied Vaughan, and the same
course was taken with the following shooters: J. Matfield,
C. Van Valkenburg, A W. Bruner, 8. R. Smith, A. E,
Daniels, J. 8. 8edam, F. N. Schofield, M. Chick, W. a!
Hillis, C. Aldrich, N. Nichols and A. Mills. As soon as the
last man had shot, the party boarded an electric car, return-
ijg to the city and courthouse, where they met Justice Jameg
and put up $10 each to appear Tuesday afternoon, the 2d
inst. This took until noon, when the party returned to the
grounds and continued the sport.

The first event Sunday was a 12 bird race, $8 entrance,
three moneys, high guns. In this there were 16 entries.
The scores were: Van Valkenburg 12, Hillis 12, Vaughan
11, Smith ll,8edam 11, Haight 11, Nauman 11, Matfield 10,
Chick 10, Nichols 10, Mills 10, Bruner 9, Daniels 9, Scho-
field 9, Aldrich 9, Hauerwass 9

The second event was left unfinished, when each side had
shot 15 birds. It was a four man team race between San
Diego and Los Angeles, for 25 birds per man. Entrance
money pet team $100. The scores were:

8an Diego— Schofield 14, Daniels 13, Sedam 15, Chick 13;
total 55.

Los Angeles— Matfield 13, Vaughan 13, Van Valkenburg
13, Bruner 11; total 50.

The conclusion of the tournament took place on New
Year's Diy. Deputy Sheriff Smith made further arrests of
Jonn Hauerwass, Clarence A. Haight and Clarence C. Nan-
man when the scheduled events were afterwards carried out
according to program.

The unfinished team shoot (ten birds per man) resulted in
a victory for San Diego. The scores were:

8an Diego— Schofield 8, Daniels 9, Sedam 9, Chick 10.
Total, 55 and 36, 91 out of 100 pigeons.

Los Angeles— Matfield 7, Vaughan 8, Van Valkenburg 9,
Bruner 10. Total, 50 and 34, 84 out of 100 pigeons.

The second event was a miss and out event with Sedam
Daniels, Smith, 8chofield, Aldrich, Chick, Van Valkenburg
and Nichols as entries.

The third event was an 8 bird race, $5 entrance, three
moneys, high guns, during which Smith, Vaughan, Sedam,
Nauman, Haight, Van Valkenburg, Bruner and Freeman
killed 8 each; Hillis, Schofield, Chick, Daniels and Aldrich.
7 birds each; Nichols 6 birds.

Fourth event, 25 birds each, entrance $25, birds included.
All shooters in this event started at 26 yards, and each
shooter was handicapped one yard for each time he scored 5
birds straight at 28, 29, 30 or 31 yards. High guns, four
moneys: Van Valkenburg, Bruner, Sedam and Nauman
killing 24 each; Vaughan and Hillis, 22 each; Chick and
Daniels, 21 each; Haight and Smith, 20 each, and Aldrich 18.

The meeting was well attended by local and visiting
sportsmen.

Amoog those present were : Messrs. Haight, McMurchy,
Schultz and Nauman of San Francisco; W. A. Hillis of
8outh Libby, Mont.; C. A. Lougeeof 8pokane, Wash.; 8am
Thompson of Fresno; Smith of Riverside; Vaughan of
8anta Ana; Marlines Chick, A. W. Bruner, Capt. Jake
Sedam, and Mr. Daniels of Denver, Charles Van Valken-
burg and others. Many spectators were also present during
both days who it is needless to remark were unanimous in
expressing their friendly sentiments in favor of the trap
shooters.

The arrested shooters were held to appear in Justice
James court on last Tuesday afternoon wnea A. W. Bruner,
president of the gun club, was to submit his case as a test
case. The club members are very much worked up over
what they term the unwarranted interference of the Humane
Society. They propose to contest the matter from start to
finish and carry the cases, if necessary, to the highest
tribunals.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

A gun club has been organized at Hueneme.

Qiail shooting open season in Marin county will close on
the 15th inst.

The duck hunters have found weather conditions to their
liking for the past week. The marshes have been sought for
safely and feed by thousands of ducks and numerous big bags
have fallen to the gunmen in the blind*. Canvasback have
been exceedingly plentiful, particularly so on the east bay
shore marshes. Richardson's bay has been the resort for
thousands of canvasback and blue-bill, and now for the first
time in many years this once favorite duck shooting water
has been frequented by many huaters who generally man-
aged to pick up good sized bags of birds in prime condition.
The eastern portions of San Pablo bay and adjacent waters,
as well as Sumin bar have also been the resting places of
immense flacks of toothsome 'can*' and blue-bills. Geese
are also becomiog quite plentiful on the marshes.

Q ml hunters have found as usual, best results in Marin
county, Point Reyes district still abounds in a fairlv plentiful
supply of birds Hunters have found the vicinity of Liver-
more productive to a limited extent.

Among those who made good b*g? on the Alameda shore
were Jim Maynard and Dr. Lane at Willow lodge, T. Bellofi
and Brother; Dan Ostrander, George Franzen, W. Price, H.
Swan and F. Flint; Mr. and Mrs- Sinclair, iu the vicinity of
Alvarado. Fnlz VValperU bagged many 'can*' at the Bridges.
Lee Larzelere and Nelson Brother* at the Spooney club pre-
serve. Chas and Frank Cate at Miwrrs.

On the Suison marshes A. M. Shields, Ed Cramer, A. Roos
and Otto Fecdner bagged 160 cans shooting on the Pnngle
ponds on New Year's day. The best bags for the we- '

Nine black brant, a rare game bird in that section, were
killed near Coronado on November 29th.

Numerous ring-neck pheasants have been turned loose in
Santa Barbara county, by the Santa Barbara Game Protective
Association.

Considerable sport has been had in the channel off Long
Beach during the past month shooting flying fish. Experts
try the rifle while others use shot guns.

Christmas Bay was celebrated by Reno sportsmen in a live
pige o shoot at the Uawcroft ranch south of town. There
were three matches, two for twelve birds and one for nine.
W. Gonover won first money in the first match. Hawcroft,
Wheeler and Conover tied in the second match and the third
was won by Ed Morton,

An artistic calendar for 1900 has been issued by the Union
Metallic Cartridge Company. The past glories of wild life
and sport on the western plains are suggested by the artist
in a realistic and naturally colored drawing of a bull bison's
head — the lord of the plains (the visible portion of him) is
seen pauBiDg with distended nostril and watchful eye just
before stooping to munch the succulent bunch grass which
carpets the prairie spread before him.

duck arose from the surface of the lake, frightened and
seeking safety in flight from the early morning intruders
on the scene. The disabled bird's flight at first was erratic
to Buch an extent and so close to the ground that Watson
easily induced both of his dcgs to start after the bird upon
sighting it. A short chase and one of the hounds snapped
up the duck in flight, coursing a feathered kill, the only one
on record, we believe.

A common excuse made by parties who have killed a large
number of ducks, quail or snipe, is that "not a bird was
wasted; we bad plenty of friends who were willing to take
what we didn't want" — or words to that effect. This excuse
might be used with just as much show of reason by every
market-hunter in the country; if there is anybody who
doesn't waste a bird, that person is the market-hunter, to
whom every bird represents so many cents. The feeling
against large bags of game is based more on the comparative
scarceness of the game itself, rather than on the fact that
large bags may be followed by a certain amount of waste.

There are still plenty of wild turkeys left in the Southern
States, and also in some of the northern portions of the con*
tinent. Of course, the supply is nothing like what it was a
few years ago, but still turkeys are not hard to get if only
one goes where they are, and knows what to do when the
turkeys are found. It may not seem like sport to lie in an
ambuscade and "yelp'' up an old gobbler, but it produces a
certain quickening of the pulse that indicates a degree of ex-
citement akin to that which catches hold of a man when he
sees his first deer within gunshot. It is no easy matter to
fool an old gobbler. Young turkeys that have been well
scattered can be easily called up and shot from behind a
blind; but an old gobbler is a different subject, and the man
that gets him may take credit to himself, for he has surely
shown skill in hunting one of the wariest game birds in the
world, as well as one of the most noble specimens of bird life
ever seen.

Shooting gray squirrels with a small calibre rifle is a spor-
that most anybody would erjjoy and has for several season8
past been the particular recreation of many Eastern sports-
men when the open season for the gray squirrel is on. It is
a sport that is best pursued alone, as squirrels are wary and
quick eared, and need great care and absolute stillness on the
part of the hunter who would fill his bag with the long tails.
Sunrise in the woods on a still morning is something to be
enjoyed in addition to the sport obtained when squirrels are
numerous. Seated on a log, that should be no stiller than
the man Bitting on it, the hunter hears sounds and sees Bights
that don't come to him any other time- Birds flit about him
in the first rays of the sun; the old cock grouse, one hundred
yards away, fills the air at intervals with the booming sound
produced by his ''drumming" on his favorite log; a squirrel
barks in a distant tree, and the hunter also catches a glimpse
of one as it leaps from bough to bough, making its way to a
well known hickory some little distance away. The 22 cali-
bre is glanced at to make sure it is ready, and if teU scope
sights are used, they are scanned to Bee if everything is all
right. They will Boon be needed, if squirrel stew is wanted.

Many people wonder how target shooting came to be first
introduced into the list of sports. The honor of the inven-
tion of inanimate target shooting really belongs to that past-
master at the trap, Capt. Adam H. Bogardus, Capt. Bogar-
dus, to give him his title, was first of all a market hunter,
born in New York state, but transplanted at an early age to
the then (1856J virgin soil of Illinois. After years of prac-
tice in the field, every year of which made him more and
more expert with his gun, Bogardus graduated with the
highest honors, national and international, at the pigeon
traps, beatiog about everybody he met, and in general beat-
ing them with comparative ease.

The popularity of live-pigeon shooting and its attendant
expense to those who were fond of shooting, led Bogardus to
hunt around for something to take its place cheaply and
effectively. His glass ball, filled with feathers, and his glass
ball trap, did the work for a time. Then the inventive
genius of the Americans came to the front, and once the idea
was grasped the natural evolution of the target or "clay
pigeon" was the result. The Ligowsky pigeon made of red
clay was the first of its kind, but it was quickly followed by
the Kooxvillelblackbird, the bluerock of Cleveland and sev-
eral varieties of the yellow ringed asphalt saucer now so
familiar to the trap shooter.

Retrieving Notes.

A curious huntiog incident is related by W. R. Hervey, a
well known musician and member of the Tamalpais Gun
Club. He was quail shooting on the club's preserve in
Marin county recently. During the day he took a wing
ahot at a quail, the bird fell, but was up and cfl again almost
immediately, flying in a direct lice rather slowly and about
two feet from the ground. Mr. Hervev's English setter
bitch Wanda H. started after the wounded bird, chasing it for
about 10; yards, gradually gaining and finally retrieved i
on the ^ing, bringing the wcunded bird back to her master.

Home-Made Knife Blades.

One of the many articles used by the sportsman and which
he wishes to know about making is a good knife blade, one
he can depend on when in the woods, one which has neither
a glass or lead edge. A knife that is true bine, which neither
crumbles nor turns at the edge when most needed, is some-
thing not found at every store where knives are sold. There
are knives and kniveB on the market; prices vary, but do not
always fix the quality. I may be pessimistic, bat I believe
most blacksmiths' apprentices of three months' experience at
the forge can make a better cutting blade, by attention to the
following directions, than can be bought at many stores in
this country at any price. I judge by experience:

To make a hunting knife one needs a blade to cut browse
for a bed, to cat dry as well as green wood, cat meat, and for
all uses about camp. J' should not turn its edge easily when
striking a bone nor should it nick oat its edge on green bone
or hard wood. The best of fine tool steel is selected in
square or flat bare; round rods are not so good. Use char-
coal in the forge fire if possible; if not at hand ose well coked
bituminous coal burned clear of sulphur. Draw out the
blade to length and shape, always keeping this advice in
mind. Do not heat too hot, or hammer too cold; just a
bright red. Ceaee hammering after the color has left. Do
not attempt to draw it very thin at the cutting edge, bat
leave it rather thick. Anneal by cooling slowly and grind
or file to shape, but do not thin the cutting edge. This is
where many make mistakes. If the edge is too thin it is no.
properly hardened or is burned, or warps and bends in heat,
ing. Leave it thick. See that the fire is bright and even.
Put the blade in, edge down, and heat to a red. Do not
drive the blower too hard; take time. When heated well on
the edge and half the blade — never mind the back — plunge
quickly in clear soft water, dipping it, edge down, in the
liquid. Do not attempt to plunge endwise or point first, a a
it may be warped oat of shape, and an uneven edge at the
best may be the result. Grind off the sides along the edge
to brighten. Next place it lengthwise oyer the bright coali
back down. Do not attempt to draw the temper by laying it
on its side. Keep a slow, steady blast on, and note the color
as it starts along the back. When the color has started, go
slowly and watch carefully. The color will first assume a
straw color, then yellow, then brown, then purple spots will
appear. When that color has been reached, remove from
the fire and swing it rapidly back and forth through the air
to cool it instead of dipping.

This is said to be the way the world famed Damascus
sword blades were tempered; at any rate, it makes a superior
cutting blade. No trouble need be feared; if the color is not
running too fast the draught of air will check and cool it.
If the knife is wanted for meat cuttirg exclusively, let the
color run to a clear purple, then swing as before directed. I.
will be noted that in hardening by this method one mskes
sure of the edge or thinner part, while the back may be a
little soft. In drawing the temper the back is next the fire
and the color starts there ; when it reaches the edge it has
little chance to run by. The process of dipping insures
hardening with little danger of springing the blade, as it is
thick on the edge. Now grind the blade thin as desired.
The irue cutting edge should not be a long bevel or acute
angle, but the blade is comparatively thick just back of the
edge; the cutting bevel, or came), as the cutler calls it, is an
acute angle of 25 degrees running from the edge toward the
back alike on each side. That gives strength and support to
the edge, and is claimed to be the best angle ever found for
general purposes. I have used knives made in this way for
many years and find them far ahead of those I buy, as re*
gards fine cutting qualities. Almost anything seems to
answer for some people, but the hunter and woodsman can
get nothing too good for his use, where so much depends at
times on the quality of bis implements and arms.

Should the blade be sprung and require stiaightening, it
can be done by laying it on its side and striking with a ham-
mer while hot, just before the required color comes in tem-
pering; but it must not lie on the anvil long to cool it, j ist a
moment before the hammer hits it, then raise it. Look
to see if it is straight; if not, hit it again. While the steel
is hot it does not break easily, but yields to the blow,
although quite hard. If struck cold it would not set, but
might break. A soft back knife blade or sword blade may
sometimes be straightened considerably by piening with a
light hammer, warming it up well and laying it on an anvil,
which is also warmed; but it is apt to bow the blade a little
toward the edge. — H. in Shooting and Fishing.

The Game Law.

The synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and

various changes in the county game and fish laws, particu-
larly those of recent date and of application in and around
the bay counties.

ThiB synopsis has been frequently copied fin more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
journals and has also been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be made to current numbers of the Brreder and Sports
man for the latest and most complete Idata concerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open Beason for shooting quail, doves, deer and wild duct as
fixed by trie State law is as follows: Doves, 15th July to 15th Febru-
ary. Mountain quail and grouse, 1st September to 15th February.

- The formation of a national field trial association seems to
be meeting with great favor among the Eastern field trial
organisations,

Mr. P. C. Meyer was unfortunate in losing his promising
yonng rocgh coat 8t. Bernard recently. MinBtrel Boy was
by Prince Sylvia ex Princess E. and bid fair to make his
mark as a sire.

The red cocker spaniel poppy, Hampton Goldie, recently
sold by a Detroit breeder to a San Francisco fancier, won
first in puppy, novice and open dogs at the late Oakland
bench show. In poppy dogs there were but two entrieE; in
open and novice the winner of firBt was (he only dog entered
in the two classes. Omo Girl, a previous purchase from the
same Bource, won second in open bitches, three competitors
being in the class. 8he won first in puppy bitches the year
previous at Oakland, there being but two entries in the class.

The decision of Judge Smith of Cincinnati in the case of
M. H. Fagin against the Humane 8ociety was a sweeping
declaration of independence for the dog as a creature of
some value and rights in the law. Hitherto a private corpora-
tion has been in the habit of seizing dogs without the sanction
of any court. This is now declared unconstitutional, as dogs
are animals of value and entitled to the same consideration
as swine, geese, chickens and other live stock.

ThiB seems to be in exact agreement with the decision of
the Supreme Court of New York, that no humane Bociety
has the right to seiza and destroy dogs without consent of
owners.

Overture, an English greyhound, from the kennels of
Fawcett Brothers in EnglanJ, which arrived bere laBt week
consigned to C. J. Horrigan, has created a fund of interest-
ing gossip among the leashmen. The newcomer is credited
with being the only dog who has ever beaten For Freedom,
a dog who has not yet lost a course on the local sward.
Overture is a compactly built red dog, weighing at present
about sixty-. ix pounds. He is by Sir Hankey out of Fairy
Fay,Bhebythe famous Herschel ex Charming Bess. Sir
Sankey is also the sire of For Freedom. Ovtrture is a litter
brother of Farmer Fiamborougfa, a dog who has won many
stakes for the Fawcett KennelB. He was whelped in April,

1896, and is nearly the same age as For Freedom. His run-
ning has been done chiefly in Ireland, where he has won a
number of stakes. He beat For Freedom in the third round
of the A bber stake for puppies at the Bangor meeting in

1897. The official record saye: "For Freedom wbb show-
ing pace on a Btrong outside, when Overture shot up and
took first and second turns before the former got in for sev-
eral close exchanges. As they rose the hill the Irish dog
(For Freedom) had only slightly the best of them, and, in-
deed, many thought For Freedom had won."

Kennel Suggestions.

We are accustomed to receive from time to time a great
many inquiries as to the length of time, says ' Oar Dogs/'
during which a distemper caee may be regarded as contagious
after the animal * fleeted has recovered. In dealing with
euch a subject perhapa the beet plan will be to review the
whole question of disinfection as an aid both to the preven-
tion of disease and its extermination if, unhappily, it should
break out. First of all, however, we may take it for granted
that the safest and likeliest plan to adopt when a dog ha8
had distemper and is better, is to place him in quarantine for
several weeks, and to proceed with the least possible delay to
adopt such of the likeliest measures as are about to be re-
corded of disinfecting his kennel and all things pertaining
thereto.

It cannot be too forcibly impressed upon dog fanciers that
the two greatest disinfectants we have are fresh air and fresh
water. All kennels and runs should be bo arranged that
every nook and corner can be easily got at. Insufficient
light tends both to dampness and to neglect. The lighter
and more spacious the kennel is the leee likelihood there
will be of its inmates suffering from disease, and the easier it
will be to effect a clearance of the microbe element should
such a course be at any lime necessary. A plentiful supply
of fresh air is the greatest safeguard against the multiplication
of evil microbes. And the abundant washing with clear
water is equally valuable in its sanitary effects. The ventila-
tion and cleansing of kennels, therefore, stand first on the
list of necessary disinfecting precautions.

Now as regards the various chemical substances commonly
in use as deodorants and germicides. There has been and
etill is a great deil of controversy as to the relative merits of
these preparations, and it is alleged that some of the things
which are Guppoeed to bedestructive to microbe life not only
are perfectly harmless to these minute organisms, but what
is worse, have an injurious eflect upon the lungs of animals
which inhale their cdore. We cannot, however, very well
enter upon a discussion of scientific theories in this column,
so we will confine ourselves to describing one or two methods
of disinfecting upon which there is, so far as we know, a
general unanimity of opinion. To take first the commonest
ot disinfectants, chloride of lime. We have very little faith
in that being sprinkled about or placed about in open recep-
tacles. Chloride of lime owes its pungency to the chlorine
gas which it gives off to the air. This chlorine gas at once
seeks to unite itself with other elements, and is quickly dis-
tributed into the surroundirg air, so that unless a very largq
quantity of the chloride of lime be placed in a given area it
will not have any marked effect. Moreover, chloride of
lime very soon loses all this chlorine, and remains in a wet
objectionable state, which is not consistent with neatness and
cleanlinebB.

The more satisfactory method of using chloride of lime is
to add some of it to a bucket of water intended for swilling
out kennels, etc.; the water will at once dissolve the chlorine
gas, and the lime will sink to the bottom. This solution
can, as is easily seen, be marie of any strergth practically,
and although in that form it has not a very markedly power-
ful effect, it is safe and useful for the purpose indicated. In
contradistinction to this we have carbolic acid; this is a most
dangerous thing to deal with and it has been estimated, we
think quite correctly, that the number of deaths caused acci-
dentally in this country by carbolic acid poisoning is almost
if not quite, equal to tbe number of all other poisoning cases
put together.

There is another thing about carbolic acid which is espec-
ially worthy of notice by dog fanciers. We have known
instances of dogB being poisoned by having carbolic acid
applied to their skins insufficiently diluted. If the acid be
applied to the skin in its raw state, or if it be swallowed
accidentally, it has a terrible burning effect, and it is easy to
see how, when carbolic acid has been added to a bucket of
water a dog may take a drink from the bucket which, by
reason of the fact that a portion of the acid almost invariably
comes to the top, will be likely to severely burn bis n outh
and throat. It is, therefore, just as well to have this danger
in view, particularly when, as in this column, we are making
suggestions for thoBe of limited experience. Undoubtedly
carbolic acid is very useful and very effective. Its proper
use is as a wash, well diluted with water, and it is not of
much use (besides being highly dangerous) to place it about
in open vessels. Make a fairly strong solution of it, taking
care that none remains und:asolved in the water, and then
use this with a garden syringe. It may be of interest to add
that carbolic acid of the proper standard is soluble in about
twelve hundred times its own volume of water. This fact
will enable us easily to calculate how much of the acid will
be required to make a given quantity of the strongest solu-
tion it is possible to have.

One word as to carbolic powder such as is usually sold. I't
has been asserted by eminent authorities that many of the
commercial samples of carbolic powder are utterly useless
by reason of the fact that they r3o not obtain free carbolic
acid and lime, and as such are entirely inert. We therefore
counsel the inexperienced to place more faith in the aqueous
solution of the acid as described in the former paragraph
rather than in any form of carbolic powder. We pass on now
to permanganate of potassium. This is a chemical which
rapidly attacks all organic matter, and a very small experi-
ment will ehow how very active this apparently inoflensive
crystal really is. Glycerine is an organic compound. If a
few crystals of permanganate be added to a little glycerine
and a few drops of water, a rapid chemical action will be
noticed. So if permanganate of potassium dissolved in
water be thrown about and placed about any building, all the
mi.iute organisms that come into contact with it will be at
once attacked. There is also this great advantage with per-
manganate, that it is inodorous; it does not, as some things
do, cloak a bad smell by its own worse odor —an accusation
that might almost be levelled at chloride cf lime. It will be
seen that if the interior of a building be syringnd well with
permanganate Bolution the effect it will have upon the minute
organisms in the air must be very considerable. So we
recommend spraying in preference to placing it about.

Now in regard to the disinfecting of a kennel or other
building in which we will suppose there has been a dog
suffering from distemper. In our experience there is only
one thoroughly effective way cf disinfecting such a place,
and that is by burning sulphur in it. Clear out every pos-
sible fixture and leave tbe chamber quite empty. Burn all
straw, hay and other bedding, sweep down Ihe walls and
generally clear out the place. Then close up effectually
doors, windows, ventilators, etc. , and baviog set fire to a good
heap of sulphur, place in an old bucket or, what is easier to
handle, upon a shovel, set it down in the centre of lbe
chamber, and let it remain there until a few hours have
elapsed. The deadly sulphurous gases will permeate every
crack, and no fear need be entertained as to risk of contagion
to any animal placed in subsequently.

Standards.

The points and description of the Pomeranian orSpitz dog,
as drawn up by the Eoglish Pomeranian Club, are as follows:
Appearance — The Pomeranian in build and appearance
should be a compact short-coupled dog, well knit in frame.
His head and face should be fox-like, with small erect ears
that appear sensible to every sound. He should exhibit
great intelligence in his expression.docility in his disposition,
and activity and bnoyancy in his deportment.

Head— Somewhat foxy in outline, or wedge-shaped, the
skull beiDg slightly flat (although in the Toy varieties the
skull may be rather rounder), large in proportion to the
muzzle, v.hich Bhould finish rather fine, and be free from
lippiness. The teeth should be level, and on no account
undershot. The head in its profile may exhibit a little
"stop," which, however, must not be too pronounced, and
the hair on head and face must be smooth or short -coaled.

Eyes— Should be medium in size, rather oblique in shape,
not set too wide apart, bright and dark in color, showing
great intelligence and docility in temper.

Ears— 8houId be small, and carried perfectly erect or
pricked, like those of a fox, an I, like the head, should be
covered with soft short hair. No plucking or trimmiog ia
allowable.

Nose — In black, black and tan, or white dogs the nose
should be black; in other colored Pomeranians it may often
be brown or liver colored, but in all cases the nose must be
self not parti-colored, and never white.

Neck and Shoulders— The neck, if anything, should be
rather Bhort, well set in, and iron like, covered with a profuse
mane and frill of long, straight glossy hair, sweeping from
the under jiw and covering the whole of the front part of
the Bhoulders and chest as well as flowing on the top part of
the shoulders. The Bhoulders must be tolerably clean and
laid well back.

Body — The back muBt be short, and the body compact,
being well ribbed up and the barrel well rounded. The
chest must be fairly deep and not too wide.

Legs— The forelegs must be perfectly straight, of medium
length, not such aa would be termed either "leggy" or "low
on leg." but in due proportion in length and strength to a
well balanced frame, and the forelegs and thighs must be
well feathered, tbe feet small and compact in shape.

Tail— The tail is a characteristic of the breed, and should
be well twisted right up from the root tightly over the back,
or lying fiat on the back slightly on either side, and profusely
covered with long hair, spreading out and flowing over the
back.

Coat— Properly speaking there Bhould be two coats, an
under and over coat, and the outer a long, perfectly straight
and glistening coat, covering the whole of the body, being
very abundant around the neck and fore part of tbe shoulders
and chest, where it should form a frill of loog flowing hair
extending over the shoulders as previously described. The
hindquarters, like those of the collie, should be similarly
clad with long hair or feathering from the top of the rump
to the bocks The hair on tbe tail must be, as previously
described, profuse and flowing over the back.

Color — The following colors are admissible: White, black,
blue, brown, black and tan, fawn, sable, red and parti-colore.
The whites must be quite free from lemon or aoy color, and
the blacks, blues, browns, black and tans and reds free from
white. A few white hairs in any of the self-colors shall not
absolutely disqualify, but should carry great weight against a
dog. In parti-colored dogs, the colors should be evenly dis-
tributed on the body. Whole colored dogB with a white foot
or feet, leg or legs, are decidedly objectionable and should be
discouraged, and cannot compete as whole colored specimens.
In mixed classes, i e , where whole colored and particolored
Pomeranians compete together the preference should, if in
other points they are equal, be given to the whole colored
specimens.,

N. B. — Where classification by weight is made the follow-
ing scale, the most suitable division, should be adopted by the
Show Committees:
1. Not exceeding 81b. (Toys). 2. Exceeding 81b.
Where classification by color is made, the following should
be adepted:

1. Black. 2. White. 3 Any color other than white
or black.

THE FARM.

Brown Swiss Oattle.

Ask nine ont of tea men you meet who are
reasonably well in'ormed on cattla breeding,
"what are the characteristics of the Brown
Swiss breed?" and they will tell yon they
never heard of it. Down in Santa Barbara
county in this State there are a few of this
breed of dairy cattle, bat bo far as we bnow(
the first ever brought to this part of the State
are a couple of calves purchased from an ex-
hibitor at tbe Minnesola State Fair last sum-
mer by MrB. C. Coil of Woodland, Yolo Co.,,
and shipped to her son H. E. Coil, Esq
a prominent farmer and dairyman of the
county mentioned. These calves are duly
registered in the books of the Brown Swiss
Breeders Association by the names McKinley
and Minnesota. Mr. Coil has kindly furnished
the Bbeeder and Sportsman with photo-
graphs of the calve3 taken last month when
they were about seven months old, but the
picture of the bull was not clear enough to
reproduce. The heifer, Minnesota, it iB plain
to be seen, is a very handsome animal, and
we hope that under Mr. Coil's care the two
may grow and thrive and found a profitable
and prolific Brown Swiss colony in Yolo.
Mr. Coil is one of the Directors of the cele-
brated Woodland Creamery, and furnishes to
it the milk from about fifty cows daily. He
is breeding up his stock, having started with
grade cattle and will soon have a fine dairy
herd. The following particulars of the
Brown Swiss cattle were taken from the report
of Henry E. Alvord, Chief of the Dairy
Division of the U. S. Bureau of Animal
Industry:

OfitGiN and history. — Switzerland has
been famous a3 a dairying cDaotry for some
centuries. It is especially noted for cheese,
and it is said that seventeen different kinds
are regularly exported to other countries.
Two distinct races of cattle contribute to
these products, and both are excellent dairy
animals. In many respects they are un-
eqnaled by any of the other breeds of conti-
nental Europe.

The Brown Swiss is the breed better known
in the United States. It is called also Brown
Switzer, but more properly Brown Schwyzar,
from the Canton Schwvz, where the breed
originated, or, at least, has been bred longest
and is still found of trd3?t type. It is now
common to the other cantons of eastern and
central Switzerland and has a find reputation
throughout Europe. These cattle have been
especially successful as priza winners at Paris,
Hamburg, and other large exhibitions of live
stock.

The first pure-bred animals of this breed
brought to the United States comprised one
bull and seven heifers, imported from the
Canton Schwyz to Massachusetts in the
autumn of 1869. It was not till 1881 or 1882
that other importations were made, but mean-
while this first little herd bad been kept pure
and had increased to nearly two hundred In
number. During the years 1882 and 1833
several importations were made and there
have been a number since. Where they have
become known these cattle have made a
favorable impression among dairymen, and
herds of different sizss can now be found in
States of all parts of the Union.

Characteristics. — The Brown Swiss may
be placed in the second class as to size among
the distinctly dairy breeds. They are sub*
stanlial, fleshy, and well proportioned, with
very Btraight, broad back, heavy legs and
neck, giving a general appearance of coarse-
ness. But when examined they are found to
be small-boned for their aizs and to possess a
fine, silky coat, and rich, elastic skin, with
other attractive dairy points. Although
generally described as being brown in color,
the brown runs through various shades and
often into a mouse color, and sometimes
a brownish dun, especially for tbe saddle or
body. Head, neck, legs and quarters are
usually darkest in color, often almost black.
The nose, tongue, hoofs, and Bwitch are qaUe
black. Characteristic markings of the breed
inclnde a mealy band around the mnzzle.with
a light stripe across the lips and up the sides
of the nostrils, a light-colored tuft of hair be-
tween tbe horns, and a light-colored stripe
extending all the way along the back to the
tail. The eyes are full and mild, but bright,

usually black. The horns rather small, white
waxy, curving forward and inward, with
black tips. The ears are large, round, and
lined with long, silky hair, light in color.
The barrel of the body is large and well
rounded. The udder and teats are large, well
formed and white, with milk veins very
prominent. The cows often carry remark-
ably well-shaped escutcheons. The animals
of a herd are generally even in appearance,
showing careful breeding extending throogh
many generations. Bulls and cows are alike
docile and easily managed. The cows are so
plump and compact as to appear smaller than
they really are. Mature animals weigh from
1200 to 1400 pounds and often more; bulls
run up to 1800 pounds and over, yet are not
so much heavier than the females as in most
breeds. These cattle are extremely hardy
and very attractive for their sizs, beiDg neces-
sarily good mountain climbers in their native
country.

Milk and butter records. — Developed
as a dairy breed primarily, Brown Swiss cows
yield a generous flow of milk and holdjont
well. Qood specimens may be expected to
give an average of ten quarts for every day
in the year. Six thousand pounds a year iB
an ordinary record, and Bingle instances are
known of 8000 to 10,000 pounds. Oae Swiss
cow owned in Massachusetts produced, by
accurately recorded weights, 86,304 pounds

of milk before 12 years old. The quality of
milk is above the European average, 3J to 4
per cent of fat being usual . The cow men-
tioned above made a butter record ranging
from 500 pounds to 610 pounds per year for
four years, but this was exceptional. Ordinar-
ily 22 pounds of milk of this breed will make
1 pound of butter, and sometimes it does
better.

The description given indicates that these
cattle are good for beef as well as for th&
dairy. They are almost always fall-fleshed,
easily kept so, and readily fattened when not
in milk. The flesh is said to be fine-grained,
tender and sweet. A barren heifer in Min-
nesota weighed 1680 pounds; a mature cow in
New York, fattened for butcher, weighed
1925 pounds, and made 1515 pounds of beef.
A pair o± Swiss steers at 13 months old
weighed 2200 pounds. The calves are large,
often 100 pounds at birth, and make a vigor-
ous growth. Weights of 400 to 600" pounds
at 4 to 6 months of age are not uncommon
Altogether, the Brown Swibs is able to present
about as strong a claim as any breed to being
a profitable, ''general purpose cow."

In their native country these cattle are or-
dinarily fed nothing but hay, grass or other
green forage, throughout the year, bat they
respond promptly to more various and gener-
ous feeding.

A Deal in Sheep.

J. G. Johnson, the San Francisco buyer
who is getting nearly all the sheep and hogs
in this section of the county, purchased 4000
sheep from Churchill & Martin of Siskiyou
county, paying $3 for wethers and $2 for
lambs. About 900 yearlings and two year
old were too light for his use and these were
purchased by Major E. H. WarA They were
shipped to Nord where Mr. Johnson wanted
te use the same cars in shipping some 3200
head of wethers that he purchased from Mr.
Ward a couple of weeks ago. The 900 head
purchased by Mr. Ward are being driven
from Nord to his range «ast of Vina. — Red
Bluff Sentinel-

Baron Paul Vietinghoff, a representative of
the Russian Government, is in Chicago bay-
ing horses for the Czar's army. The Baron
says that already 1000 American horses, pur-
chased principally in Kentucky and Virginia
have been shipped to Russia and that another
1000 are to follow as soon as the Baron makes
the selections. "Not only am I buying horses
for the army," he said, "but for breeding pur-
poses as well. The animals shipped for mili-
tary use go merely as an experiment. They
will be divided into lots of four and six in
different garrisons and given a trial."

Color In Horses.

''It is curious that chestnut was formerly
one of the objectionable colors in market
horses. Time was when a horse of any of the
various sh ades of chestnut would be discounted
in price in the markets, but that unwarranted
prejudice has wholly disappeared. It was the
same with the grays. A decade ago a great
crazs sprang up for black draft stallions and
the grays from France were discriminated
against sharpl; in buying stallions; but as a
matter of fact a well matched pair of dapple
gray horses will spring the price a little over
any other color at present, and this has been
the case for some time. The prejudice against
grays was a natural one, as it is a color that
8howB stain and dirt, but there never was the
least reason at the bottom of the discrimina-
tion against the chestnut color either in draft
or carriage horses.

"The fact may here be noted that the use
of the word Borrel as describing this color is
now almost wholly confined to the country.
At the market places and in the show ring
and in sale catalogues] horses of this color are
called chestnuts. They are variously dem
scribed according to the hue as 'iight chest.
not/ Mark chestnut/ or 'liver colored chest-
nut,' or 'black chestnut.' The country term
is frequently 'cheBtnut sorrel,' although why
both words should be used is past rinding out.
In some sections a light chestnut is called a
sorrel, and horses of darker shades are termed
chestnuts. It would be the part of wisdom to
drop the use of the word sorrel on account of
itB indeflniteness and use the word chestnut,
qualifying it with 'light,' 'dark' or 'liver col-
ored,' as the occasion may demand.

"It iB a very popular color in carriage
horses, and some of our most famous saddle
horses are of shades of [chestnut.

"A chestnut roan is about as 'dwell' a color
as a blue roan for carriage work. Light and
'washy' chestnuts are not so popular, but any-
thing of a hard shade is ready sale if the
horse 1b all right."

Do You Want a Camera?

The Gem Poco
4x5

FOR THREE NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO THE

BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

THE GEM POCO is a 4x5 camera, constructed with a universal or fixed
focus lens that will take a picture clear and Bharp at the outer edge as well
as at the center This was deemed an impossibility until last season, when
the GEM POCO demonstrated that it could be done. And yet no others
have succeeded in obtaining this much desired result.

It is covered with fine Morocco grain leather, has leather handle, two tripod
plates, and two large brilliant oblong view finders, made in proportion to the
plate, which insures the correct position of the views.

It is equipped with a newly discovered fixed focus GEM lens, constructed on
an entirely new principle, giving a great depth of focus, cutting the plates
clear and sharp to their full size, together with rotary diaphragm with three
apertures, Rochester safety shutter arranged for time or instantaeous expos-
ures, and speed regulator.

As all working parts are made flush with the camera box, there is no possi-
bility of their becoming broken or getting out of order.

Any one sending us three new yearly subscribers, accompanied by the cash ($9.00), will be sent a GEM POCO.
If you intend to get up a club, send for sample copies, to be used in canvassing, or send us a list of names of people
you intend to see, and sample copies will be sent to them from this office. BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

; GOING TO CHICAGO.

What to Do With a Stallion.

HORSE NEWS FROM L03 ANGELES.

Milo Knox Has a Carload Nearly Ready for
the Splan-NewffaeB Sale.

Over at the J. M. Nelson's stables at the Alameda track
Milo Knox, the well known horseman of Haywards, is
getting a carload of horses in shape for a trip across the
mountains lo Chicago, wher3 they will be sold at the great
sale which SplaL-Newgasa will hold at the big new pavilion
at the Union Stock Yards, from January 29th to February
3d, This sale is attracting great attention in the EaBt from
the fact that some of the fastest horses in America are to be
offered, including Manager 2:06f, W. W. P. 2:05£, Roberts
2:09A, Kiltie £. 2:0S| and many others.

Mr. Knox's consignment will consist of about sixteen head,
and it will be a carload of choice animals.

De Bernardi Basler, a standard and registered pacer with
a record of 2:16}, is one cf the fast ones (hat will be in the
car. This geldiDg is six years old, sound and as fast as ever
in his life. Be can show a very fast clip at any time an -i
can certainly reduce his record whenever started against it.
He is by Robert Basler Bnd his dam, Peerless Maid, by
Strathway.

Billy McKinley 2:25, that has been driven some with De
Bernardi Basler, will also go to the sale. He got his record
this year on a track that was at least six eeconds slow, and it
is no measure of his speed. He is a free driver, a sound
horse and can show two minute speed on the track. He ie
by Yosemite 4906; out of the dam of Phenol 2>11|.

A mare that will make a fine carriage animal is Flora 8.
by Ex more, dam Flora, by Bell Alta, second dam Djlly by
Morgan Messenger. She is a large mare 16.2 in height.with
plenty of BabsLance and style and is very handsome.

Gay Nelson is the name of a four year old Btallion bred by
the late Mr. Corbitt that has the miking of a very fast trotter
and as he is a good looking colt and shows excellent action
and speed, he should be one of the highest priced one in the
lot. He is by Guy Wilkes out of G!en Ellen by Arthurton,
Eecond dam Smoothbriar by Eugene Casserly (son of Gen.
Taylor), third dam Peanuts by Geo. M. Patchen Jr , fourth
dam old Peanuts by Morse Horse 6. This colt has never
been trained as his owner did not intend working him until
this year and racing him in his five year old form. With a
few "scrape outB" he showed a quarter in 32£ second?, the
last eighth in 16 eeconds. He is an elegant trotter, not
afraid of steam cars or anything else, goes in open bridle,
wears no boots or weights,for in fact he has never been shod,
being perfectly balanced without shoes. Any lady or child
can drive him and is alsolntely Bound in every way. Hi8
owner sayB lkI am sure he can trot in 2:15 or better next year
should he be trained." He is a good prospect to enter in
the big stakes.

For a brushy road horse the brown geldiog Frank L. is
one that can show the way to the majority on any speed-
way. He is 15.3 in height, a good looking stylish horse and
has no record. He has been used as a road horse and has
pulled a high wheeled cart a half mile in 1:07 J, the last
quarter in 32 seconds. He can take a record of 2:12 or
better if trained.

Another horse that will make a grand roadster is George
H., a son of Dexterwood a son of Dexter Prince. The dam
of George H. is by Gen. Benton, and his stcond dam Addie
Lee hy Black Hawk. He is juBt broken but is one of the
nicest drivers ever hitched to a cart, and is prompt, quick
and fast.

As fine a looker aB we have seen for many a day is Oleo, a
bay gelding, sound as a dollar, and has never started or been
entered in a race. He was sired by Anteeo Jr., his dam
being a mare by General McClellau. Oleo has spaed enough
to go to the races and with bat little work stepped three
heats in 2:19J, 2:19 and 2:19. He has trotted a quarter in
32 ' seconds.

One of the stars of the lot ie Emma Abbott 2:17$ by
Abbottsford, out of Julia by Rustic. This mare is as hand-
some a trotter as there is in California and can step in 2:10
sure. She is a good sized black mare that has proven her-
self game in hard fought races, and her record was made in
a winning race. She is as sound as a new coined dollar, is a
good driver, and in good hands oaght to be a good money
winner in her class this year.

There are quite a number besides those above mentioned
that Mr. Knox will take to Chicago, and he will probably
start from Alameda with them about the 25th of this month.
He will take with him in the car the handsome black mare
Mia Louiee 2:15$ by Steinway, the property of Mr. John
Staley of Djwson, who ia shipping her to his home in Ohio.
Mr. 8taley purchased this mare last year from L, E. Clawson
and bred her to McKinney.

A handsome album memorial to the late Robert Bonner
was presented t.> the Bonner family by ihe National Associa-
tion of News Dealers, Bjnb Sellers and Stationers, at ihe
cffice of the New York Ledger. The frontispiece of the
memorial is a painting of Mr Bonner. One of the pages
contains this resolution: "Resolved, that we, the National
Anociation of News Dealers, Book Sellers and Stationers of
the United Stales, in conveniion assembled at Bufhlo, on
this, the 22d day of August, 1899, do express our profound
» gret at this irretrievable loss, and beg leave to mingle our

rrow with that of his family, in whose affliction we deeply

are."

The men who have stallions will locate them, and if they
expect to do much with them will commence advertising
them. These gentlemen have now fully learned the salutary
lesson that it does not answer the purpose to keep their lights
under bushels. They now have experience enough to know
that however great the stallion it is necessary to let the
world know that they are in the business, and that of two
horses anything like equal, the one advertised and the other
not, the one that is well advertised will distance his com-
petitor.

Don't be afraid that your horse will he too well known.
That's a thiog that never occurred yet with a good horse-
If he's worthless the less said about him the better, and unless
he is well advertised nine people out of ten will conclude
that he is worthless, and if his owners do not think enough
of him to advertise him he generally is.

George Wilkes was not advertised extensively as a stock
horse till he v. as 17 or 18 years of age, and his career as a
stallion dates from that time. The merits of Electioneer as
a stallion were unknown till he was about 14 or 15. Either
of these horses might have made his owner a fortune long
before that time. And so it is with many horses, if thor-
oughly advertised and opportunities given them early in life
they will make great horse?; otherwise not. If your horse
is worth keeping as a stallion at all, he is worth the best op.
portunity that can be provided. If not, make a geldiog of
him and be done with it. Sometimes an advertisement doe6
not appear to pay. Your horse may be Blow in making a
stan, but when a horse that has been well advertised doe.,
begin to make a start he comes with a rush. If you have
confidence in him, by all means advert Be him and give other
people the same confidence They won't have it until you
do. People generally think that an owner has very little re-
spect for his Btallion if be won't advertise him, and people
are generally right about it, too.

If a horse is really good a liberal supply of printer's ink
will build him up faster than anything else in the world.
Maybe you think I am talking for effect, bat if you are in-
clined to be doubtful about it, just think a little and tell me
what 'trotting stallion ever became a great borne without
liberal advertisement. There may be a very few such that
reached great Buccess when about too old to be of much more
service. But this is not what owners want nowadays. They
want their reputations made while they are young enough to
do their owners some good.

Who wants a horse that has the true elements of greatness
in him to pass the days of his youth and vigor in obscurity,
and then to flame up like a dying candle just at the end of
his career. When people begin to know what he is he's
gone, and they say: "What a wonderful horse he was, and
what a pity he did not have better opportunities when he
was young." This has been the fate of many a great horse
and all on account of ; ■ n unenterprising owner. Of such a
horse it may often be written, "A victim of wasted oppor.
tnnities."— IconoclaBt.

The Fortieth Agricultural District.

The Fortieth Agricultural District, comprising Yolo
county, has made its first annual report since the district was
created in 1899. The Board of Directors is composed of
C. R. Hoppin, John Keith, Jr., C. F. BurnB, F. H. Owen.
8 M. Montgomery, A. C. Stevens, W. S. Allen and A. M,
Britt, all well known citizens of Yolo county, who elected aB
Secretary Mr. G. F. Thomas, who has recently compiled the
following report and submitted the same to the State Agri-
cultural Society according to the law requiring the same.
Mz. Thomas has made |quite an exhaustive report on the re-
sources of the district. Under the head of "The Stock In-
dustry," the report says:

"Stock raising is another leading industry of the county.
Horse dealers in search of either driving or drafc horses in-
variably turn their eyes toward Yolo. Some of the most
noted animals that have appeared upon the turf are Yolo
county products, and San Francisco has always been a liberal
buyer of our draft horses. The progeny of Lily Wright and
Alexander Button have given the county a national reputa-
tion, and Kelly Briggs, the phenomenal pacer and a Yolo
horse, is regarded as the coming race horse of the State-
It is probable that Yolo county has furnished more horses
for Honolulu and foreign trade during the last year than any
other county in the State. Yolo county mules have also
been shipped to Honolulu, Australia and the Fiji Islands in
large numbers during the last year. The traffic in mules
and horses has resulted in a tremendous volume of trade for
Yolo county farmers and given an impetus to the stock in-
duBtry, the benehcial eflects of which will be felt for many
years lo come.

"For many years the cattle industry languished in this
section of the State, but the revival of the dairy interests
which followed the establishment of the creameries has alpo
given encouragement to farmers who take a great pride in
breeding fine cattle During the last two years dairymen
have not only picked the cream of Yolo county herds, but
tbey have endeavored to improve local Btraios bv making
purchases of the pick from the best herds in toe State. As
a result the number and value of Yolo county herds is in-
creasing at a fast rate and it is confidently predicted that
when the first annual fair is held the d'sirict will be able to
make one of the fiaest local exhibits of cattle ever witnessed
i n California "

Gen. B. F. Tracy has sold the chestnut filly Adorica, by
Advertiser, dam Corsica, by Dexter Prince, to James W.
Cooke, of Philadelphia. This elegantly bred young trotter
will probably be developed by Frank Turner.

Our friend Geo. T. Beckers, of Los Angeles, the owner of
Zombro 2:11, has developed into a first class newspaper cor-
respondent. Mr. Beckers has been sending the editor of
this paper a batch of news from the City of Angels quite
often lately and has demonstrated that he knows a real news
itejQ when he finds it, and his communications have been
full of interest to our readers. Uader date of January 8th,
Mr. Beckers writes us as follows:

Mb. Editor: — That the horse bu3ine33 is flourishing down
here you will see by the following items which I have picked
up since my last:

Mrs. L J. Hasting* of this city disposed of a half dozen
well bred ones by auction at the race track here, January
6th, with the following result:

Gray mare by Monroe Chief, dam by A. W. Richmond,
$52; Princess Wilkes, black mare by Ned Wilfees, $100;
Vashti, five year old mare by Vasto, $150; Idirect, mare by
Director, $90; Velvet Rose, four years old by McKinney
2:11£, dam Etta Wilkes 2:19|, $350; '.Geannette Rose, five
years old by McKinney 2:11}, dim Etta Wilkes 2:191, $600.

Velvet Rose was bid in by W. G. Durfee for a prominent
oil man here, and he also wanted Geannette Rose, but Mr.
C. Christie, of Kansas City, the owner of Bob Riley 2:10, bid
$600, and as that was Mr. Durfee's limit, the mare went to
the Kansas City "tan and will be taken East with a number
of others purchased by him in different parts of California,
Princess Wilkes and the Director mare were bought by Mr,
Slice and M. M. Potter was the buyer of Vashtie.

John Llewellyn, of Los Angeles, who owned Sir Gird
(2:26}, by Woolsey)and mate, a pair of bays, remarked to
Mr. McKewen the other day that his team could show a
m'le in 2:40 and be wanted $1200 for them. The track was
vary slow on account of rain the day before. Mr. McKewen
said if they could step a mile in 2:40 he would give the
earn asked. Walter Maben booked them up and after a little
warming exercise drove them the mile handily in 2:38 and
the money was paid over right on the spct. Everybody who
saw them said they could have marched in 2:30 hid the
track been in good order. So you see the horse business is
good down here at present.

I am only going to breed Zombro 2:11 to twenty choice
mares at $50 each this season, and his book is full now, in-
cluding the best marea in Southern California. He has been
worked miles in 2:33 and quarters in 34 seconds so far. I
will not go faster than that with him for two months yet, but
will then begin givicg him some sharp work.

Mr. Gaines, the trainer, has arrived here from Santa Ana
with a string of horses belonging to Nick Corvarubtas, and
will have a stable of trotters and pacers on the circuit again
this year.

The Los Angeles Gentlemen's Driving Club had a nice lot
of matinee racing Christmas Day with a free gate, and will
have Borne more on the 20th inst.

Irene Crocker 2:17 by Will Crocker ia one of the finest
matinee horses in Los Angeles and is a grand road mare as
she has fine style and lots of speed.

Geo. T. Beckers.

Santa Ana Will Hold a Fair.

The 32 i District Agricultural Association, whose track a
Santa Ana has the reputation of being one of the very best
and fastest mile tracks in California will give a fair and race
meeting this fall, probably just before or just after the Los
Angeles fair.

The Directors of the 32d District will meet at Santa Ana
on the 22d instant to take the first steps taward holding this
fair, and from thepresent outlook they will make it one of
the best ever held in the southern country. The agricul-
tural exposition will be made as complete as possible, and
harness racing will make up the greater part of the speed
program.

In days when Silkwood 2:07 was in his racirg prime, it
only needed the announcement that be would appear at the
Santa Ana track to draw an immense crowd to see him go.
During the past few years, however, there has not been so
much interest taken in the harness horses in that section, bn t
now that good prices are again to be had for trotters and
pacers with speed there is a general revival of interest and
the fair of 1900 is already being talked about.

At the Santa Ana track several horses are already at work,
Mr. Geo. W. Ford having the champion four year old mare
of 1899, Neeretta 2:11^, and a half dozen green ones by his
great young stallion Neernut, there in charge of John Brooks,
the well known trainer. Mr. Judd has the old hero Klamath
2:07$ there looking and doing well, and thete are several
others (o be pieced in training before the first of February.

Toe 32d District Association has done wisely in setting an
early date for a meeting of i's Directors, and will no doubt
make an earlv announcement of its speed program and
thereby attract a good list of entries.

Minnie Patchen, dam of Island Wilkes, Abbott Wilkes,
Red Pointer and Senator Blackburn, all in the 2:20 list, is
the dam also of Ebba that is touted for the M. and M. for
1900. Ebba is a sister to Island Wilkes and has shown 2:13.

RiDgbone, Its Cure and Treatment.

la some features allied to spliot, ringbone occurs on the
psstern bone and is not limited to those of the fore limbs,
though it is most frequent on them, occurring less frequently
on these bones in the hind extremetiee, writes a prominent
veterinarian io the London Lire Stock Journal. It consists
essentially in the presence of enlargements on the large or
small pi9tern bones; these deposits being more or less numer-
ous and extending round tbe bones, whence, in all prob-
ability, the name of ringbone. They may be quite close to
the pistern j tin's, or they m 17 be on the middle of the bones
— id front, at tbe sides, or behind. They are usually quite
evident to the eye, but more eo to the practiced touch. When
they exist in front of the pastern, the? are best seen from
side of the horse; but when at the sides cf the bones, then the
eye perceives them more readily when the limb is looked at
from the front. Passing the hand over them tbey feel under
tbe skin as prominences more or less irregular in shape and
81Z9, and not symmetrical, if they are present on two ur more
pasterns. This should be remembered as the inexperienced
are liable to mistake the nitural prominences on the sides o*
these bones and which serve for the attachment of ligaments
when more than usually developed; instead of being
objectionable, these normal prominences are an advantage,
and they are always symmetrical. So that in examining the
pasterns for ringbone, these should always be compared with
each other. Of course whea the ringbone h situ 1 1 e i at the
bick pert of the bones as these are covered by ligaments
and tendons, it is hidden from the eye, and not easily reached
by tbe fingers.

As has been said, ringbone may be situated on the large
pastern bone wheie it is generally easily delected; it is then
called high riDgbone, or it is on the small pastern bone
toward the hoof, when it is known as low or coronet ring-
bone. The latter is more frequent than the former. The
enlargement of tingbone is, of course, very hard, but when
it is not produced by external it- jury, the skin covering it is
not thickened or scarred, and is freely movable over it.

RiDgbone is, in nearly every caBP, a serious condition, be"
cause io the great majority of horses Effected with it there is
more or less lameness, which is irremovable unless the lower
part of the limb is rendered ineecsitive b ■ dividing the nerves
supplying it with secsation. Owirg to tbe bony deposits in-
terfering with the movements cf the joints when they are
situated around them, or to the pressure they make on the
ligaments or tendons which are epread in white bands over
them, a cure could only be effected by their removal, and of
course this is impossible. The same anatomical arrangement
also explains the great pain the animal gives evidences of
while ringbone is forming, and after it is fully developed.
It must be acknowledged, however, that cases are seen now
and then in which lameness is only slight or is altogether
absent, but then the ringbone has been produced by external
injury, or has been very slowly developed.

The causes of ringbone are various. Ic some animals, or
breeds of animals, there appears to be a natural predisposi-
tion to it, this predisposition being generally related to de-
fective pastern joints or deformed limbs. Strain on the
ligaments connected with the pastern bones, and concussion
from being worked on hard roads, when the horses are still
immature, have, no doubt, much to do with its production.
Therefore it is that it is most frequently found in riding
horses which have been much traveled on roads at a fast
pace while young. But it is nevertheless, sometimes seen
affecting the pasterns of horses, which have only been mod-
erately worked, and not always on hard ground, and such
cases might be ascribed to hereditary predisposition. Bad
Bhoeing, in which the hoofs are not properly levelled, or the
shoe is left thicker on one side than on the other, may also
induce the formation of ringbone. It is perhaps oftenes^
seen in horses, with either very long, sloping pasterns, in
which the ringbone is generally at the Bides, or in short,
upright pasterns, in which the deposit is most frequently
observed in front. The toes are also turned out or in in
those horses which have a tendency to ringbone.

The lameneBB may be very considerable, even with a small
ringbone, and not bo much with a more voluminous one, this
depending greatly upon its situation. When it is forming
there is much heat at the part and pain on pressure made by
(he finger, as well as in bending the pastern joints. The
horse steps short in trotting on bard ground, and especially
in turning, and is inclined to go on his toes. He always
travels worst when ridden.

The prevention of ringbone is evident. Animals which
. have a predisposition to it, either from a constitutional tend-
ency to throw out bony deposits about the pasterns, or have
defectively formed limbs which may favor its production
from unequal bearing on the bones and joints, should not be
bred from. Immatare animals should not be subjected to
undue strain on their limbs, particularly on hard ground,
and care ought to be taken to keep the hoofs level and in
good direction whether shod or unshod.

As for treatment, this will necessitate the intervention of
the veterinary Burgeon, whose skill will also have to be in-
voked to diagnose tbe existence of ringbone in most cases.
It is all-important to regulate the distribution of weight on
the pastern bones and joints by attention to tbe hoofs and
shoes. When ringbone is forming, absolute rest should be
given as far it is possible to do so, for a considerable time

and the floor of the sta'l or box should be laid with some soft
material. Refrigerating lotions must be applied to reduce
the ioflimmation, and may soon be succeeded by blisters, the
best being biniodide of mercury, which can be repeated at
intervals. The actual cautery (firing) is sometimes resorted
to, deep punctureB being preferred to lines, and sometimeB
(his is beneficial.

In cases in which all this treatment has failed division of
the sensory nerve that sopplies the pastern with sensation
has rendered the animal free from paio, and consequently
from lameness if tbe joints are not involved, but this opera-
tion is not without certain dangers subsequently.

In chronic cases of ringbone much benefit may be derived
from the careful attention to the shoeing, as already indi-
cated; and I have noticed a remarkable diminution in lame.
ness follow the insertion of india rubber plates between the
shoe and the hoof.

In all cases cf ringbone, as has been already mentioned,
important service can be tendered by the skillful shoer, who
in maintaining the proper dimensions of the hoof and secur-
ing a just distribution of the weight on the bones by attend-
ing to their direction, can enable an otherwise all but useless
animal to continue work satisfactorily for perhaps years.

Three New Stallions for America.

Gen. 8tephen Sanford, proprietor of the Hurricao Stud at
Amsterdam, New York, has jut>t purchased in England three
stallions to place on that well known breeding farm, and he
has certainly got something extra good as far as blood lines
are concerned. They were to bave arrived in New York
this week. The stallions are Koyal Emblem, Grammont
and Goosalvo. Mr. Rowe says in regard to these horses :

Royal Emblem was fosled in 1896, and is by Royal Hamp-
ton out of Thistle. This pedigree is doubly interesting to
Americans. Royal Hampton id the splendid Bon of Hamp
ton, which imp. PrinceFS produced before her exportation
from England for this country, where she earned imperish-
able renown as the dam of Hiq Highness, Prince Royal and
Her Highnees.

Thistle, Royal Emblem's dam, produced Common and
Throstle, both classic winners, while her son, imp. Gold-
finch, is now at the stud at Rancbo del Paso in California
Goldfinch was a splendid racehorse, and, from the looks of
some of his two year olds which I saw at Mr. C- Littlefield's
Jr.'s, last week, is likely to play an important part in our
big j'lvenile events this year.

Royal Emblem was bred by Lord Aliogton, and was trained
by John Porter, upon whose advice the purchase was made
for Hurricana. He waB reserved for the £10,000 Jockey
Club Stakes last July, for which he ran second to his cham-
pion stable companion, Flying Fox, but defeated Ninus Boni-
face, Birkenhead, Dieudonne, Greenan, Mosa and My Boy.
The hard ground of the summer told against Royal Emblem
in his other race, the Liogfield Park Stakes, for which he
went to the post an odds-oj favorite over such horses as
Harrow and Sibola, possessing the fall confidence of his
stable.

Gonsalvo is a son of Fernandez (brother to Isonomy) and
Cherie she by Stockwell out of Chore Amie, she by Sweet-
meat out of Amazon, by Touchstone. He was third to
Memoir and Blue Green in the 8t. Leger of 1890, beating
Martagon, Siufoin, Heaume, Surefoot, St. 8erf, Alloway
and Queen's Birthday. His most noteworthy victories were
the Alexander Plate at Ascot and the Goodwood Cup in
1891, successes which surely proved him to be a genuine
stayer.

Grammont is a 12-year-old son of 8t. Simon, which is in
itself very impressive when one coosiders the wonderful suc-
cess of St. Simon horses in Australia, to say nothing of their
creditable aggregation of wioaers here. Grammont's dam*
Margarita, is by The Duke (son of Stockwell) out of Tas-
mania, by Melbourne.

He won good races, io one of them beating Orion, and ha
had a number of winners in England, despite very unfavor-
able stud opportunities.

Knee Sprung Horses.

A well knovn veterinary Burgeon who has had wide ex-
perience Bays :

There is no other trouble so deceiving to the horsemen in
general, as well as nearly all the professors, as a knee-sprung
horse. I have never yet found a man who was treating a
knee-sprung horse that did not confine the treatment almost
entirely to the tendons, and, therefore failure was the res ilt,
as very few if any horses under such treatment have been
cured, and the trouble has become known as incurable.

I am positive the entire trouble originates in the feet, and
any swelling, soreness or contraction found in the tendons
comes directly from the inflammation and irritation con-
tained in the inner or sensitive frog quarters and heel of the
foot, and while causes for this trouble in the feet are many
it matters not so long as the real cause is perfectly under-
stood and the treatment scientifically performed.

Ninety-five of the knee-sprung horses can be permanently
cured in a short space of time (old broken-down horses ex-
cepted) aud the cure will be permanent, so long as proper
care is taken of tbe feet and shoeing.

Pacific Breeders Futurity.

Among the few prominent stakes to be contested for thi
year in California by tbe light harness horse?, is the Pac'ifi0
Breeders Futurity, given by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders Association, the two year old divisions of which
were trotted and paced last year at the Santa Rosa meeting of
this organization, being won by Eola Mac 2:27* and N. L.
B. 2:21 J respectively.

Fourth payment was due in the three year old divisions of
the stake January 1st, and as will bs seen by the following
list payment has been made on 34 colts and fillies, and as
this is the last payment except the starting fee which is due
ten days before the race, the outlook for good fields in both
trotting and pacing divisions is excellent. The original
stake was $3000, of which $750 went to the trotters and $500
to the pacers as two year olds in 1899 The balance of tbe
stake is divided $1000 to the trotters and $750 to the pacers
and will be contested for this year at the Breeders meeting.
Those on which fourth payment was made January 1st are
as follows :

San Francisco, Saturday, January 13, 1900.

THE OCCIDENT STAKE of 1902, entries to
which closed with Secretary Peter J. Shields of the Cali-
fornia State Agricultural Society January 1st, this year,
has an unprecedented number of entries. There are
ninety-four entries, which number has never been
equalled during the twenty years since the stake was in-
augurated. There is plenty of evidence in this to prove
that there is life in the trotting horse industry — more
life than has been evidenced for some time in California.
Allowing for the usual failures to make future payments
the Occident Stake of 1902 will be worth at least $4000,
a sum worth contesting for, and one that will give addi-
tional value to every colt or filly named for it. Sixty
per cent of the stake will go to the winner or very nearly
$2500, the second horse will receive in the neighborhood
of f 1200, and the third horse $400, or four times the
amouDt of fully paid up entrance money. The winner
in addition gets the Occident Cup, valued at $400. It
is plainly to be seen that the Occident Stake of 1902 will
be one of the richest ever contested for by harness horses
this side the Rocky Mountains. Second payment has
been made on 46 entries in the Occident Stake for 1901,
and third payment on 22 entries for the stake of 1900 to
be trotted at the State Fair this year. This should re-
sult in the largest field that has ever started in the race,
as it is proof that there are twenty-two colts and fillies
whose owners intend to place them in training for the
event. There is but ore more payment to make in
this years stake, and it is due thirty days before the
race. In the Stanford Stake for 1900 and 1901 there
is also a splendid showing. There are fourteen paid
up entries in the stake for this year, and for
the stake of 1901, forty-four made second payment
out of an original entry of fifty The breeders
and owners of trotting bred horaes in California have
shown by their payments in these stakes and also by the
splendid list of third payments in the Pacific Breeders
Futurity that they have again taken heart and renewed
their confidence in the future of the industry. The
revival in interest, the jump in prices for good ones, the
demand for high class roadsters and track horEes that
cannot be supplied, the evident prosperity of the whole
industry are matters for congratulation wherever horse-
men meet. There is a lesson in the situation that should
be studied and understood by every person connected in
any way with the business. It is that there will never
be an over production of good horses, but that in the
future as in the past a panic can be caused by attempt.
ing to foist upon the public animals that have no quali-
fications for the purpuseB for which they were bred. The
year 1900 opens brightly, and there is prosperity in
sight for all engaged in horse breeding who use good
judgment and plain common sense, and who realize the
fact that something cannot be bred iiom nothing.

ROAD AND DRAFT HORSES that are all ready
for use, are in demand in San Francisco, and the well
known auctioneers, Chase & Mendenhall, successors to
Killip & Co., will have a sale of horBes of this descrip-
tion at the salesyard, corner Van Nes3 arenue and
Market street, on Tuesday next. The trotting bred
hoses are a rare good lot, and buyers will not only be
able to get some fine roadsters among them, but there
p » several racing prospects that only need training to
fast records. These horses are by such aires as

Silver Bow 2:16, Pleasanton 2:29}, Easter Wilkes, a son
of Gny Wilkes and a Nutwood mare, and other well
bred stallions. They are all thoroughly broken aDd no
better looking lot has been put up at auction in this city
for a long time. The draft horses comprise 25 head of
well broken animals, among them a magnificent pair of
blacks weighing 2S00, a handsome pair of greys that
will tip the scales at 2900, and a grey team which weighs
3600 pounds. There are a number of excellent driving
and express horses to be sold at the same time. Don't
let the date slip your mind. The sale will begin next
Tuesday morning, January 16tb, at 11 o'clock sharp,
Be on hand if you want a good horse at your own price.

CHRIS PETERbON 2:131, is the subject of our title
page picture this week and the likeness is ODe of the
best. It was taken by J. R. Hodson, the Geary street
photographer, who is one of the few who understand
horse portraiture. Chris PeterBon is one of the famous
road horses of San Francisco. He is a bay gelding
foaled in 1889, and was bred by Marcus Daly in Mon-
tana. He is by Deputy 11,779, out of Virginia Wilkes
by Denvtr Wilkes, second dam Lady Cassell by Shelby
Chief. His record was made at Butte in 1897. There
is not a trotter in San Francisco (hat can outbrush.him,
and could he stand training for races, would certainly be
able to reduce his mark to 2.10 or better. His speed
was such that T. E. Resting intended taking him East
last year, but it was feared his legs would not stand the
hard work necessary to win on the grand circuit. Mr.
H. Dutard, the well known Davis street merchant, owns
this grand roadster, and the horse has for two years past
been in the hands of the well known trainer Geo. W.
Berry, who keeps him in the pink of .condition all the
time. Chris Peterson was driven to his record by the
late Lee Shaner.

S. H. HOY, of Winters, owner of the stallion Bays,
water Wilkes, sire of Kelly Briggs 2:10}, publishes in
this issue the announcement that his horse will make
the season of 1900 at Winters, Yolo county, at $40.
Mr. Hoy's letter arrived too late for us to prepaie for
this issue the customary notice containing tabulated
pedigree, etc., but it will appear next week. Bayswater
Wilkes is a wonderfully well bred stallion, and his first
and second dams are not only strictly thoroughbred but
both are producers of speed at the trot, the first dam
having produced Senator L. 2:23}, holder at one time of
the four mile record, and his second dam being the dam
of Bessie Thome 2:22}. The thoroughbred blood in
Bayswater Wilkes is the sort that has won at four miies,
at both the running and the harness gaits, while lrom
his sire, Sable Wilkes, he gets the best of the Wilkes
family combined with that of The Moor and Mambrino
Pilot. Mr. Hoy has one of the most promising young
horses in California and that he will be one of our
leading sires is certain if he is mated with an average
lot of mares.

NAGLEE BURKE'S HORSES in training, together
with a number of his two year olds, will be sold at
auction at the Oakland Race Track on Thursday, Janu.
ary 25th, at 11:15 o'clock sharp, by the well known
auctioneer, Wm. G. Layng. Mr. Burke intends to retire
from racing altogether, and engage in breeding for the
Balesriner, therefore this sale. There are 24 head of
horses in training including Giro, Glissando, Dura, Coda,
Dolore, Fura, Gravita, a full brother to Crescendo, and
other good ones. Among the two year olds are colts and
fillies by imp. Foul Shot, son of Musket, Crescendo
Brioso, Drum Major and other well bred stallions.
There are some very choice animals in this consignment.
Catalogues wilh pedigrees and full information will be
ready next Wednesday. This will be the best thorough-
bred horse sale of the season in California.

AN EPISODE that threatened'Tor a time to cause
an open rupture between the two jockey clubs of this
city has been settled. Secretary R. B. Milroy, of the
California Jockey Club, while walking through the
paddock at Tanloran Park met Edward Corrigan and
addressed him, offering to shake his hand at the same
time. Mr. Corrigan, who was denied the privilege of
racing at the Oakland track, not only refused to shake
the proffered fist, but shook his own and used language
not considered the proper thing in polite horse circles_
PreBident Williams, heariDg of the affair, wrote to the
officers of the Western Turf Association asking that an
apology be made. The said officers held a meeting,
heard testimony, decided that the apology was due, and
war is averted.

GOOD STALLIONS that possess all the qualifica-
tions for great sires, have lived a life of obscurity and
left but a small posterily simply because their owners
lacked sufficient enterprise to advertise them to the pub-
lic, while inferior horaes have been patronized and ac-
quired a high place on the roll of honor through judi-
cious booming that attracted the best mares in that
locality to their harem, thus making them great by their
progeny. Every horse in California that is good enough
to be kept entire and stood for public service is entitled
to have his name, oreeding and fee stated in the Breeder
and Sportsman, the only journal in the State devoted
to the horBe breeding business. The service fee received
for breeding one mare will generally cover the entire
expense of advertising a stallion, and the owner will
then have the satisfaction of knowing that the name of
his horse has at least been kept before the breeders dur-
ing the season and that he has done his part toward
calling attention to his good qualities. In this day of
rush and enterprise advertising is absolutely necessary
in any business.

A FEW PATERNALISTS in New York want the
authorities to pass a law to the effect that no racing
association in that Slate shall give any purse ot less
than $1000 in value. The excuse given for asking this
of the Legislature is that horse owners, owing to the
small purses given on many tracks, are compelled to race
their horses for the money they can make out of wagers,
and this leads to crookedness. This is an "amoosin''
statement, to say the least. When the State has to take
charge of racing and fix the size of the purses, it may
as well "go the limit" and make race tracks State prop-
erty and have all the officers appointed by the Governor.
Any person who does not want to run his horse for less
than a $1000 purse is not compelled to enter him, and
the excuse that smaller purses make dishonest racing is
simply a Bubterfuge. It is the system of bookmaking
in which associations look to the betting privilege for
the greater part of their revenue that is the cause of the
trouble of which the horse owners complain.

THE BEST WAY for a district fair association to
secure a desired date is to hold an early meeting of
the directors, announce a program and claim the dates
on which the fair will be given. This is a case where
those that announce first are best entitled to the date.
If the week selected is the one desired by the people of
the district and best suits their convenience, there need
be but little fear that some other association on the
same circuit will select a date that conflicts with it.
The Slate Fair date cannot be taken by any district
association, but each should select a date that will make
its fair drop into its proper place on the circuit, the sub-
ject of short railroad hauls to and from the meeting be-
ing one of the particular subjects to take into considera-
tion. If a conference of district secretaries could be
held they would be able to arrange a circuit satisfactory
to the majority.

Fontanita's Four Foals.

An Oakland physician has four young horses, all from the
mare Fcntaoita, a daughter of Antevolo (sire of 14 standard
performers) and Fontaoa (dam of Silas Skinner 2:17, Flora
Belle 2:25 and San Diego, sire of Lottie 2:16}), by the great
AlmoDt 33.

The ol lest of theBe youog horses iB a bay gelding by Diablo
2:09}, sire of Clipper 2:09}, Daedalion 2:11, Diawood 2:11,
Hijo el Diablo 2:11$ and eight others with records better
than 2:25. He will be five years old this spring, is a good
looker and a trotter. The next is a full brother one year
younger, but is a pneer and fast, having ehown a quarter in
40 seconds to a road cart, with no training whatever.

The three and the two year olds are both fillies and are by
McKiDney 2:11}, sire at twelve years of age of eleven in the
2:15 list. The three year old is a handsome black and is
certainly a trotter if there ever was one. She has never been
trained, hot when broken as a two year old was taken to the
Alamedi track one Jav aDd driven a quarter in 40 seconds
easily. She is entered in the Pacific Breeders' Futurity, to
be trotted this year, the value of which is $1000. Her full
sister is a bay fillv comiDg two years old, and has never been
broken, but is entered in the Occident Slake for Dext year.

If these youngsters are trained and raced they will cer.
lainly place Footanita in the list of great brood mares before
tbe year is ended, and it is to be hoped their owoer will de-
cide to bo do with them

The Green Un's Gossip.

After an absence of nearly two years from California Dr.
H. 8. Latham has returned here to spend the winter and sur-
prised hie friends in the B. & S. cffice by dropping in on
them IbiB week. We had begun to think he had forsaken
the golden slope for the blue graBS country, having been
located in Lexington during 1899, but he still has an afiec-
tion for the glorious climate of California, The Doctor
looks just as he did two years ago, and can quote the pedigree
of a horse off hand as correctly as ever. He says Lexington
is the great horse centre of America, that buyers from Ger-
manv, France, Russia, Italy and England visit that city an-
nually, while' there is not a passenger train enters Lexington
but one or more horse buyers arrive on the search for har-
ness horses. The excellent roads and turnpikes leading out
of the city are filled with horses beiog drilled to lift their
knees, aB the demand for high steppers is ahead of the supply
all the time, and trotters that can trot bring ready money.
Dr. Latham gave us news of some of the old horsemen who
were former favorites here in California. Among others he
spoke of George 8tarr, and sayB that hs always has a fine
string of trotters, all of them fit to take the word when the
bell rings. He says that Starr ia one of the most popular
men on the grand circuit with track managers, horse owners
and the general public. Marvin is still in Lexington in
charge of Miller & Sibley's farm and horBes, and he will
have a number of horses out next season, which barring ac-
cidents will trot better that 2:10. Marvin was here at Palo
Alto for fourteen years, and in that time developed horses
which took every world's record. We are glad to hear of
hie prosperity and that time has dealt gently with him.
The Doctor says that he actually looks younger than he did
when he left California five years ago.

because of her suspension or expulsionlin France, whatever it
is, and Mr. Sbuilz is not likely to ask that the cloud be re-
moved in case it is decided that she cannot be raced on
National Association tracks. She ought to be raced for she
is a plumb good one and it would be a ehame to bar her.'
About the famous stallion Directly 2:03J, Mr. McDowell
said that he never saw such improvement in a horse's feet in
so short a time as be has seen at the Shultz farm. The hoofs
have been spread just right, and he now ttands on ss well
shaped feet as any horse. It will be remembered that
Directly was bought by Mr. Shults laet November at Madison
Square Garden ior $3000. He will be bred to several of the
high class mares at Shultshurst and Parkville."

Tanforan Park Summaries.

Among the vieitors to the Bbeeder and Sportsman office
this week was Mr. Chas. R. Hoppin, of Yolo county, who
was down on business connected with the District Fair Asso-
ciation. The property on which the Woodland race track
is situated belongs to a lady who resides in this city, and Mr.
Hoppin and Sam Montgomery, another member of the
Board, were trying to secure the track for the meeting this
year. Mr. Hoppin bred and owned that great pacing mare,
Yolo Maid 2:12, by Alexander Button, out of Molly by
Deitz's St. Clair, and said one of the mistakes of bib life was
jn not giving Yolo Maid the champion record for pacing
mares when he had the opportunity. The mare paced trials
here in California in 2:08 and could have been driven in 2:04,
he thinks, easily enough. Geo. Woodard, owner of Alex
Button, naturally enough advised Mr. Hoppin to give her
the record, but Johnny Goldsmith, looking to future races,
strongly advised against it, and Mr. Hoppin did not start her
for the mark. Then Yolo Maid went East and got into
different bands and though pacing some wonderful miles
was generally up against Hal Pointer 2:04 and other fast
ones and was not in condition for a champion record. Mr.
Hoppin says the Maid always trotted when he owned her
until called upon for extreme speed, when she would change
to the lateral gait. He has two full Bisters of Yolo Maid,
one five and one four years old, neither of which has been
trained. Old Molly is dead. Her last foal, a three year old
now, by Waldstein, is the only natural pacer she ever
dropped and he paced as soon aB he could stand up. He has
not been trained, but shows speed and would certainly be
fast if worked. He is not as rugged an appearing colt as the
Buttons, but is more racy looking.

It is a settled fact that Andy McDowell will train several
hoises belonging to the Parkville Farm of J. H. 8hults-
Here is what a New York paper said about him the other
day: "Anny McDowell came over from his new quarters a^
John H. Shults' Parkville Farm yesteiday, looking as gay a
high-spirited two year old turned loose on a rich, sunny
pasture. He is enthusiastic about his new string which has
been placed under his care by Mr. 8nulls, and feels confident
of being able to win fame and purses with them next season.
He says the mile track on the farm is in good shape and he
has been able to jog the horses almost every day bo far. He
has been fitted out with a new lot of working carts, harness
and all that sort of thing and has settled down to a winter's
hard work. He will have twelve all told in his stable, among
them bix or seven green ones of high breeding and rare
promise. The others are record horses, among them Pasonte,
with a four year old record of 2:13, and is credited with a
trial of 2:10}. 8he is a handsome bay mare, bred at the
Palo Alto Stock Farm, by Palo Alto 2:08i, dam 8ontsg
Dixie, by Toronto Sontag. Last season she was only beaten
by a nose in 2:10 by Tommy BriUon, over the Cleveland
track during the summer meetirg. She had one or two little
faults, but Andy says she is now goiog just as true as a die
and Bhows every element of great racing ability. 'And that
mare Bertie R ," said Mac, "is a wonder. She is certainly
one of the best going mares I have ever seen, and if she can
be raced this year, I feel satisfied that she will be a good one
in her class, the 2:12. While, as yon know, there is nothing
gainst her in this country, still some of the members of the
Board of Review appeared to think she is under a cloud here

Sam Gamble has retired from the horse business. This
announcement may be something of a surprise to his many
friends all over America, but it is true, nevertheless. He
csme into the B. and 8. office last week and told us the
news. Sam says he expects to never again take a carload
of horses across the continent. He has shipped more than
a thousand and never lost one, so that his record will be a
hard one to beat, and as for prices, he has sold many of the
top notchers. When John Lachman was elected Sheriff last
November he told Mr. Gamble he would enter his name in
the Deputy Stake, and Sam scored up for the word last Mon-
day. He drew an inside position and his place is at the
Industrial School, where he is on duty every day. We hope
he will be pleased with his new place. He says he will con-
sider it part of his duty to give a little fatherly advice and a
few kind words to the young fellows out there, and if he can
make even one of them realize that it will be more profitable
to walk in the straight path after leaving the institution, he
will consider he has accomplished something in life.

Death of J. H. Sanders.

J. H. Sanders, author of several books on cattle and horse
breeding and founder of that excellent j mrnal, the Breeders'
Gazette of Chicago, committed suicide in Memphis, Tenni s.
Bee, December 22d. The deceased first became known to the
public as editor of the trotting department of The Spirit of
the Times in the early seventies. He was a thorough, prac-
tical horsemen, and a clever newspaper man. His fancies
however, ran more to other live stock — cattle, Bheep, etc. —
than to horses. Early in 1876 he left The Spirit of the
Times and went to Chicago and founded the Breeders'
Gazette. He edited the Breeders' Trotting Stud Book, pub-
lished in 1881 under the auspices principally of Kentucky
breeders who were dissatisfied with the methods of Mr.
Wallace. This was really the beginning of the movement
which culminated in the purchase of the Wallace plant by
the Register Association. The Breeders' Gazette was quite
successful under the management of Mr. Sanders. His son,
A. H. Sanders, now one of the U. S. Commissioners from
Illinois to the Paris Exposition, became associated with him
in the proprietorship of the paper. Later the deceased sold
his interest in the Gszatte and afterwards^met with reverses,
both in money and health, and his mental powers failed to
some extent. Despondency was probably the cause of the
suicide.

Trottiag Horse Men Confer.

New York, January 11. — The representatives of the
National Trotting Association and the American Trotting
Association were in conference here all day. They adopted
a resolution providing that aU fines, or rather penalties,
imposed by either parent association, through its members
or otherwise, shall be enforced by both associations.

The resolution also provides that neither association wilj
receive in its membership a member of the other association
after leaving that body.

The rules of both associations are being revised with a
view to making them uniform. All proceedings are subject
to the approval of the congress of the associations.

field of the race.

Sib Gibd 2:26} by Woolsey, hitched with a mate, Hotted

Matinee horses that are fast enough to keep up with the
procession are very scarce in Cleveland and there is a great
deal of rustling going on to get hold of some good ones.

One of the good road horses on the Indianapolis drive-
ways is the twenty-seven year old Little Wonder 2:30, by
Blue Bull 75- He holds his own with the most of them.

Mb Gio. H. Morris, of Winters, has booked his mare
Algenia (.the dam of Kellv Briegs 2:104) by Algona, to Alta-
mont. The old horse will have some very choice mares
mated with him this year.

The stallion Altago, by Almcnt, dam Maggie Arnold, by
Almont Mambrino, was found dead in his stall on the farm
of his owners McKnight Bros, of Talisman, Oregon, re-
cently. With the very poorest of opportunities he sired five
2:30 performers.

Aladdin, twent}-six years old; Alert, twenty six; Chester
Chief, twenty-eight; Dean Sage, twenty-3evec: Leland, twenty-

Matt Dvfyeb is training twenty likelv young horses at
the Parkway half mile track near New York, and says the
brown gel. ling Dreyfus by Dexter Prince is the star of the

2:10. This horse was bred at A. B. Spreckels' Aptos Farm
and was taken E st by Samuel Gamble lest November and
sold for $1360.

John Tuckeb, who worked with Charles Marvin at Paio
Alto for a long time, will have some choice young trotters

Newcastle, Pa. In addition to the half brother 10 Idolita
and the colt Mendell, by Monaco, he will have Flamingo C.
2:25, by 8t. Vinceot; Jean Lee 2:18}, by West Wilkes, and
several good ones.

C. J. Hamlin has not definitely decided whether he will
campaign his recent purchase, Direct Hal, during 1900, bis
inclination being to save the colt for another season. Sev-
eral Village Farm mares will be bred lo the youngster, Lady
of the Manor 2:041- among the number, provided it is decided
she will not again stand training. Several other mares that
have shown an inclination to pace or produce pacers will be
bred to him.

8eceltaky Frank Kinney-, of the Louisville Driving
and Fair Association, which has suspended, it is said, will
accept the position of secretary of an association at PU'sborg,
Pi). Kinney has been with the Louisville association for two
years and has made many friends. He is a pupil of that
master of secretaries, Ed A. TiptOD, now of the Fas:g-Tipton
Company, New York, and bad the Louisville management
been able to hold on two or three years, it is believed the
association would have merited the patronage for the lack of
which it was forced to close its gates.

One of the handsomest mares in this citv is a large, light
bay or chestnut daugbier of Wild Boy. She is owned by
Mr. Ed Hinkie, who drives her on the roadtand it is said has
speeded her a quarter in 30 seconds more than once. T. E.
Keating looked her over and suggested that be could take
the mare over the Eastern circuit and give her a low record
and win money with her. Mr. Hinkie says he does not
need the money just now and does not particularly care for
her to have a record. He takes great pleasure in driving
her as she is a perfect roadster.

Potential, the eight year old son of Prodigal put six new
ones in the list last year and is now the sire of eight standard
performers. His dam, Helen T , is a full sister to Arion
2::07|.

One of the great prospects for the eastern stakes is a geld-
ing owned by F. 8. Dasy of Niagara Falls. He is by Em-
bassador and oat of Suisun 2:18}, the old mare by Elec-
tioneer.

Nutwood blood is valuable in broodmares. There is a
mare to be sold at Chase & Mendenball'a sale next Tuesday
that ie by a grandson of Nutwood out of one of his grand
daughters.

A gbay pacing m:re that is well bred and one cf the fast-
est green ones ever hooked op will be sold at auction next
Tuesday at Chase & Mendenhall's Bale. She is a good pros-
pect for some trainer.

Dibkct's boos and daughters Beem to meet with raady Bale
There are a half dnz»n in this State that will bring all the
way from $2000 to $5000, the latter price having been refused
for one very recently,

or a raciog prospect at Cnnse & Mendenhah's sale next Tues-
day at their Balesyard corner Van Ness avenue and Market
street. See advertisement.

Oakwood Pabk Stock Farm's first foal of the year ar-
rived January 7th, and ought to develop into one of the
great ones bred at this celebrated farm. The "warm baby"
is a chestnut colt by Owyhee 2:11, one of the be3t winners
on the Eastern circuit last season, and is out of Bertha, the
daughter of Alcantara that ha^ produced Diablo 2:09}, Elf
2:12$. Ed Lafl<rty 2:16£, Jay Erl Bee (1) 2:26i. and two
otherB Demonio and Don Derby that will get fast marks this
year. The breeding of the first youngster of the new vear is
indeed royal and we understand his looks are in keeping
with his magnificent blocd lines.

Mb. C. Chbibtie, a prominent contractor of Kansas City,
Missouri, has been in California for a couple of weeks, ac
companied by the well known Western trainer E. C. Benson,
looking for horses. He has made several purchases, among
them the good trotter Dr. FraBse 2:12$ by Iran Alto 2:12j.
We understand the price was over a thousand dollars From
R H. Pearson of Watsonville he purchased Anita 2:16} by
Junio, paying $750 for her. At Los Angeles he picked up
several, amorg them a gieen filly bv McKinney 2:11}, which
he secured at auction at the bid of $600. Mr. Benson ex-
pects to ship the horses to Kansas City next week and will
put them in the car at San Jose.

Cbe£ceos 2:07$ will be kept out of the stnd during 1900,
and raced in the free-for-alls by George Ketcbam. They
expect him to cut bia present record a few seconds, and ap-
proximate Directum'a mark.

A dispatch from Lonieville eaye that President Douglass,

of the Louievtlle AfBociation, has made an offer to the etock-

ho'Jera for their stock in order that be may be prepared to

P' teot the entire stock to Borne intending Eastern buyers.

etary Fraotc Keoney eaya that if the deal now on is con-

..-nated meetings may be given at Louisville next spring

This is the story of the conversation that took place when
Ed Qeere sold Direct Hal by Direct 2:05} to Mr. C J. Ham-
lin a few weeks ago. Geers had been talking about the
coifs great speed and Mr. Hamlin remarked to a bystander:
"Geers must have a good thing in that colt, he won't Bell
bim nor let me have a half interest in bim even" Then,
turning suddenly to Geers, the master of Village Farm said,
"Geers, I'll give you $10,000 for that colt.'* Geers was
astonished, and in a dumbfounded way replied, "$10,000 is a
good lot of money, Mr. Hamlin." The offer was renewed,
and the next remark of Geers was, "He's yours, Mr. Ham-
lin.1' This ie the highest price ever paid for a three year
old pacer.

In the lists of 2:80 horses published in the turf papers
Secretary, son of Director, is given as having but two new
ones in the list in is -9. When the Year Book is out this
nnmber will probably be increased to four. The ones given
are Senator 2:261 and Hazsl Y. 2:17. To be added to these
are a son of Secretary, belooging to Dr. Powell Reeves, that
took a record of 2:27 or close to it at a meeting in the State
of Washington, and a gray mare driven by H. H. Hellman
that took as aodard record in a match race at Hoi lister some
time last year. We are given this information by Mr.
Frazer, owner of Secietary, who does not know the names of
the new performers, bat we hope to get them, together with
their breeding on the dam's side, in time for publication
next week.

The efficers of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders'
Association are highly pleased with the second payments in
the Kentucky Faiuritv, and the prospects for all the stakes
to be decided the coming year filling well. Secretary Wilson
is one of the best secretaries in the business, and the affairs
of the association at the recent meeting of the Board of
Directors were found to be in splendid condition. It is in-
tended to continue the meeting this fall on the same broad
scale which has characterized this association in the past.

The growth of the 2:10 list since 1883, when the first 2:10
performer was recorded, has been remarkable. In the year
named one pacer enter the list. The following year two
trotters entered, making a total of three. Not again until
1890 was there an addition to the list. In that year three
pacers came in, making a total of six. In 1891 five trotters
and one pacer entered making a total of twelve in nine
years. In 1892 for the first time the list began a decided in-
crease, nineteen new ones entering of which thirteen were
pacers and six trotters. From 1882 lo 1899 the list increased
asfjllows: 1893, twenty-s-x; 1»94, thirtv-ibree; 1895, sixty-
three; 1896, forty-seven; 1897, sixty-sia; 1898, sixiy-one;
1899, seventy five. The total number to dale is 402, of which
110 are trotters and 292 pacers

Knap McCarthy was in New York the other day con-
ferring with J. H. Bronson, owner of Searchlight. In an
interview McCarthy said: "I am wintering in New York,
handling three or four horses belonging to former Police
Superintendent Bvrnes. The best known of the small string
I have now is Palmleaf 2:19}. If Mr. Bronson wants the
world's record broken with Searchlight, all be hasto do is to
give the word- When the other world's champions were five
Tears old all tbey cculd do wasa mile in about 2:05. Search-
light can cut the two-minute mark any time the order ia
given. I predict a great future for the horse. Aside from
Searchlight if is d. Skull to pick the coming monarch of the
tuif. It is evident that Star Pointer will be out of the fast
running and will never again, I believe, touch his present
record- The horse is in bad shape and has broken down
once before. He is getting to be an old horse. I look for
Anaconda to create seme new figures. The coming season
will be one of the most prosperous in the history of the turf.
Bigger purses than ever will be offered."

The youngsters that will probably go East from Palo Alto
to the Cleveland Bale in May next are a two year old by
Wildnul— Sweetwater by StambouJ; Adlin (1) by Adbell
2:23— Linnet (3) 2:28}, sister to Whips; To Arms, grev filly
(1), by Adbell— Sallie Benton (4) 2:271, dam of Snrpaf 2:10,
Starlight 2:15} and Nordica (3) 2:10}; Sonolita, bay filly (2)
by Advertiser 2:15| — Wapana, dam of Sunol 2:08£, this
mare's first filly since Sunol; Monatioe, bay filly (1), by
Mendocino 2:194 — Palatine (3) 2:18, winner of seven straight
races as a t»o year old, by Palo Alto; Azra, bay gelding, by
Azmoor 2:20} — Ahwaga, full brother to A?mon 2:13}; Alia
Thorn, bay filly (1), by Altivo 2:18}— Lilly Thorn Jr., half
aister to Santa Claus; Fieldborne, bay gelding (2), by Altivo
2:18}— Mary Osborne 2:28$; chestnut filly (1), bv Advertiser
2:t5J — Rosemont, dam of Sweet Rose (1) 2:25^, Montrose (3)
2:18, and Mazallan 2:26$ ; brown filly (1) by .Mendocino —
Jessie M.; Monibel, bay gelding (2), by Mendocino — Bonni-
bel (4) 2:17£, and Belnot, bav gelding (1). by Wildnut— Bell
Bird (1) 2:26}. This lot Mr. Covey calls "the cream of
Palo Alto," and says that most cf them are well engaged.

John H. Phip^en, who gave so many good horses their
first lesBonB at Palo Alto, has been in California for a ten
days' visit and left last Thursday for Dallas, Texas, where he
is the trainer for Col. Exall, proprietor of the Lomo Alto
Stock Farm- The premier stallion there is Electrite, son of
Electioneer and Sprite by Belmont 64, and Mr. Phippen has
more than twenty young horses bv him in training at the
Dallas track. Electrite is also the sire of 36 standard per-
formers and Phippen thinks will make a great showing with
new ones this year. He has a four year old pacer in his
string that is called Dallas Texas, which is a wonderfully
speedy youngster. Phippen worked him a mile last year in
his three year old form in 2:18, last half in 1:07, and last
Quarter in 31| seconds, and he did it bo easily that the? con-
sider him about as good a pacer as lives He has paced
quarters in 15 seconds repeatedly and has never yet been
actually driven to his speed. Dallas TexaB is by a son of
Electrite called Dean Forrest that is out of a Nutwood mare.
Mr. Phippen will race quite a large Btring of horses from
Lomo Alto Farm through the Mississippi Valley circuits this
year, and hopes to make a creditable showing with them.
There is no more careful trainer or successful speed maker
than J hn Phippen, and his California friends will wish him
the verv best of luck and success. He looks as though the
Texan climate just suited him, but says that while he likes
his place and the people with whom he is connected there,
he does miss the California climate.

So much has been written in regard lo the Missouri geld-
ing Sagwa, that demonstrated his ability to trot in 2:10 or
better, and that sold at the late Fasig-Tipton sale for $7100,
that the Raral World thinks it proper to give bis true breed-
ing, obtained from J. W. Atterbury & Bro., Madison, Mo.,
who bred and raised this now celebrated geldiog: Sagwa, bg
was sired by Saywa 12726, he by Onward 1411, record 2:25},
the sire of 143 in the list. The dam of Sagwa is Abby West-
wood by Wesiwood 2363, Becond dam by Blackwood 74,third
dam by Alexander's Norman. The gelding Sagwa'B dam
was by Berjamioe's Whirlwind 2359, N. 8. B A., record
2:30}, and is the sire of Binks 2:25}, Lady Mac 2:23, etc.
Benjamioe Whirlwind's dam was Arabian Maid by Vermont
Morgan, second dam by Z.lcadi, imported from Arabia, third
dam by imp. Barefoot. Arabian Maid iB full sister to Dor-
Bey's Golddust 150. There is not the slightest truth in the
statement that Sagwa is by King Herod. To W. R Carter
of Mexico, Mo., is due the credit of developing the great
speed of Segwa in a very sho t period. Mr. Carter is one of
the most careful, painstaking and skillful trainers in the
State. He is alwavs kind, but persevering, taking great
painB to get the action j 1st right by perfect shoeing and
balancing, fie never overshoots the mark by giving them
too much speeding. He takes time to get his horse in per-
fect condition before calling upon them for fast work. The
tracks at Mexico, both the kite-shaped and the half-mile are
kept in bast condition, and there are none in the 8tate better
to work horses upon. Mr Carter has developed the Bpeed of
many fast horses, and is de-erviog 'great credit for the ex-
cellent work he did with Sagwa in so short a period.

J. B. Haggin has ten stallions and 300 broodmares on bis
Kentucky farm.

Jock&y Bound, who is riding for McCafferly, heads the
list of wincing jockeys at New Orleans.

Lomo displayed a striking reversal of form in the hurdle
race aod the stewards called for the bookmakers sheetB, but
on examination it was discovered that Lomo was practically
unbacked.

Barney Scftrieber avows his intention of racing in Ger-
many this year with Mb string of thoroughbreds.

Ed Corbigan's entries in the English Derby will be four
in number. Two are by Vassal and two by Indio.

On Tuesday Bullman and Spencer finished heads apart on
two occasions, the victory goiog to Spencer in both instances.

The Jackson Day Handicap at St. Louis last Monday was
won by Jolly Roger. The distance was a mile and a quarter
and the time 2:09.

President Ault of the Fair Grounds Racing Association
at 8t_. Louis, says the meeting there will open May 12th and
continue ninety days.

Rio Chico made his initial start over the hurdles last
week and jumped like a veteran, disposiog of a fair field in
a most workmanlike manner.

The racing firm of Bromley & Co., so well known for a
number of years, has passed out of existence. Mr. A.
Featherstone will take up their entries and their stable.

Mbb. B?kon McClelland has again been unfortunate in
losing the second of the get of those great turf celebrities,
He.iry of Navarre and Bailie McClelland. Their first foal
was crushed by her dam, and while barely escaping with her
life, is unfit for racing. Recently her weanling brother has
died.

Choker wis made the medium of a pluDge by Frank Mc-
Mahoo and his friendB, and although Thorpe got him away
firing, he was forced to content himself with second hooor,as
Grand Sachem won in a gallop. Croker and Grand Sachem
are full brothers and were bred at Marcus Daly'B Bitter Root
Stock Farm.

Eddie Ross had a narrow escape from serious injury in
the two year old race on Saturday; his mount reared at the
post and fell backwards, throwing Ross, who pluckily held
on to the bridle and prevented the filly from running away
notwithstanding the fact that she struck him Beveral times
in the mouth with her knees.

Aileena ran a remarkable race in the mile last Monday,
finishing second and forcing Wallens'ein out to the la&t
ounce. This was a ppecially creditable performance as the
mare was not worked for a week before the race owing to the
fact that the Tanforan track is closed for workoutB.

Boxlman was suspended by Mr. Caldwell for getting left
with Mocorito last Monday. Bullman has been out of luck
lately at the start but he has certainly not been more unfor-
tunate than Mr. Caldwell himself.

The New Year's Handicap, one mile, at New Orleans,
was the first three year old stake of the year and was won
on Januarv 1st by Prince of Veronia, a bay colt by Cayuga,
dam imp. Veronia, in 1:48. The track was heavy.

Old Libertine, holder of the world's record for a mile
on a circular trace:, has probably run his last race; he broke
down badly on Thursday and Mr. Brown, his owner, thinks
he will be unable to get the old horse again in condition.

Loving Cop ran a remarkably good race, stepping the six
furloogs in 1.13J and experiencing no difficulty in disposing
of Timemaker and other good ones, notwithstanding the fact
that she was away badly and had to make up a lot of ground.

Information comes from Cincinnati that "several
wealthy and influential racing men of New York City will
invest lots of money in the Oakley track, providing a pool
law can be pushed through the State Legislature this winter.

The Ormonde-Miss Brummel colt, which is now a two
year old will be sent to Eogland and trained for the Derby
ofnextvearin which he is entered. John Porter, who
trained Ormonde, and who says he never saw one as good,
will train this son of the great horse.

Febbieb, formerly one of the most useful horses in train-
ng, ended his career a few days ago at Xngleside. The old
horse, after many years on the fiat was put to the jumping
game and while being schooled itjured himself in such a
manner that his trainer was forced to destroy him.

At Lingfield, England, American horses scored two vic-
tories in the National Hunt Club races. The six year old
Mack Briggs (Strathmore — Ortawin) won the Cowden
Steeplechase at two miles and Lord W. Bereeford's three
year old Manatee (Sir Modred — Mis Motley) won the Young-
sters' Hurdle Race, two miles.

E. J. Baldwin has secured from Charles Boots, the good
racehorse Vinctor, foaled in 1892, by imp. Brutus, dam
Mollie H.t to mate with some of his choice-bred mares at
Santa Anita Rancho.

John 8. Campbell, who trained Castaway IT. when that
horse won the Brooklyn Handicap in 1890, and Cassius
when he ran second to Salvator in the Suburban, is wintering
a small string at Dallas, Tex.

Richabd Choker, the Tammany leader, fell when about
to mount a horse at his country p^ace in Eogland last week
and his leg was broken. Foxhall Keene. the well known
American sportsman, met with an accident in England the
same week. He was following the hounds, when his horse
fell and Mr. Keene's shoulder was dislocated.

It is a most entertaining Bight to watch Mr. Corrigin
cooling out Geyser after a race; he keeps the horse in the
paddock and attends personally to all his wants leading him
about rubbing and coddling him like a child with a new
doll.

Bbaw Lass on Tuesday last finally succeeded in gaining
winning brackets after several attempts in bad fields of
horses. First Shot was backed for a good thing and held the
lead until near the finish when Spencer brought up Braw
Lass and won cleverly on the post.

Jockey Spencer is not displaying the horsemanship
which landed him first on the list of winning j jckeys for
1899. His work in the saddle of late has been characterized
by extreme carelessness and some of his rides seem to be
wofnlly lacking in ju'gment for one of his experience and
ability.

The Crescent City Jockey Club has offered three prizes
for the jockeys having the best percentages at the close of
the meeting. March 24 h The money will be divided as
follows: $100 first prize. $30 second and $20 third. Should
a j jckey be suspended for fraud he will not receive any of
the prize money.

Tommy Griffin has a good one in Theory, a four year
old filly which took up 129 pounds and ran five furlongs in
1:01 J eased up at the finish. The fruits of the victory were
taken from Mr. Griffia as his mare was run up $400 atnve
her entered price; he is said to have backed her heavily in
the Eastern pool rooms.

It has been decided to retire Ben Holladay permanently
from racing and he will go into the stud at the farm of his
owners, Messrs. Eastin & Larabie, near Lexington, Ky. Ben
Holladay is a bay horse, foaled 1893, by Hanover, dam
Mollie L. by Longfellow, out of Mollie McCann by Hunter's
Lexington. He was a great race horse over a distance and
should be a successful sire.

George Cochrane, the steeplechase pckey, suffered a
serious accidert recently at Aiken. S C. where be has been
schooling bis employers,* F. R. acd T. Hitchcock, jumpers
While training a green jumper he fell with the horse and
lay unconscious for three days. When be came to he was
demeoted and it is doubtful if he will recover. Cochrane
was one of the best of the cross country division riding on
the Metropolitan tracks last year.

The reports about Keenan's breakdown appear to have
something in them, as the Poona correspondent of the Indian
Sporting Times asserted positively in a wire (o that paper
recently that Keenan was Buffering from laminitis. If this
is correct and the horse is out of the Cup, it will rob the race
of some of its interest, as many people were curious to see if
addiog the horse to the list of geldings after last year's Cup
race had improved his propensity to run cunning.

P. T. Tomlinson has recently refused an offer of $8,000
for the three year old cilt The Conqueror, by Sir Dixon —
Repeat. He was probably the best youngster in the West
last season, but was retired early on account of a cracked
hoof. He has entirely recovered from that handicap and has
wintered splendidly. The colt is engaged in all the Western
Derbies and other big events for his age and all aged division.
W. M. Rogers offered $6000 for him just after he was retired
last summer.

That the science of breeding is a mere lotterv was well
exemplified on Monday last when a five year old horse sired
by the famous Salvator from the champion Firenzi was
started in a race for non-winners in 1899 and 1900 and failed
to finish inside the monev- This animal is a handsome, well
turned individual and looks a race horse all over, but for
some unexplained reason is entirely devoid of speed or
courage.

The Washington Jockey Club has announced that the
Hunters' Champion Steeplechase, which created so much
interest at the Bennings meeting last month, will be renewed
for the autumn meeting of 1900 The announcement is also
made that a new event, the Spring Hunters' Steeplechase,
for qualified hunters, to be ridden by members of hunts in
Maryland, Virginia and the District of Colombia, will be
opened. The event will be decided at the Bennings meet-
ing next spring.

Mike Hennessey rode the Duke of York to victory with
the remunerative odds of 100 to 1 about his chances; in his
over anxiety to win, Hennessev bumped Ssgden in the ran
through the stretch and after disposing of him, pinned Nance
O'Neil on the rail, finaliv gaining the verdict by a short head.
Phelan who had the mount on Schreiber's mare promptly
claimed a foul, which was allowed and Duke of York was
set back to last position.

Jcckey Bullman seems to have acquired an unhappy
faculty of getting away from the post in last position of late.
Many times during the current meeting at Tanforan Park
the chances of hot favorites and other well backed choices
have been ruined by the tactics employed by Bullman at the
start. Notably was this the case with Forte and Mocorito,
both of which would unquestionably have been returned
winners with an even break.

To Barney Schreiber fell the honor of winning the
first two yesr old race of 1900 with a filly of his own breed-
irg by Balgowan from Spozia. The filly, well ridden by
Bullman, made her own pac<* throughout and won easily,
running the three eighths in 35£ seconds It is to be hoped
that Sofala will be more fortunate than the first two year old
winner of 1899, which never succeeded in earning winning
brackets after her first essay.

The start in the two year old race on Saturday was one of
Mr. Caldwell's best efforts, the Beven contestants breaking
away in a perfect line, illustrating what kind of work can be
done with the Gray starting machine. This exhibition was
followed by one of the worst at tern r tsto start a field of horses
ever seen on any track where the bunch were dispatched on
the most straggling terms, fully one hundred yards separating
the leader from the last one away.

The two yfar old half brother to Imp. which is to be cam-
paigned with her next season has been named Seip. The
trials already given the colt have proved htm a worthy rela-
tive to this great mare, if he can only race up to them. He
has been entered in several of the big stakes. He is now at
Chillicotbe, O , and the local enthusiasts there will have
tieir money ready to back him whenever or wherever he
starts.

The annual meeting of the Jockey Club will be held in
New York on Thursday, Januarv 18th t when the vacancies
which will take place through the expiration of the terms of
some of the stewards will be filled, and a general election of
officers will take place. The reports of the doings of the
Jockey Club will be submitted and read, and arrangements
will be made for the prosecution of a vigorous policy during
the coming racing season. The question of racing dates will
be decided at a meeting to be called when it is possible to
have all the stewards present. It is not at all likely that
there will be any bitch, neither is it anticipated shat there
will be any dissatisfaction expressed at the apportionment
decided upon by the governing body of the turf.

Pierre Lorillard has secured a stallion to succeed the
dead Sensation at Rancocas. The work of Democrat in Eog-
land last season, when he proved himself the best and stur-
diest two year old out, gave Sensation an immense prestige,
and it was unfortunate he did not live to reproduce his suc-
cess. The new stallion is of English breeding, being a big
bay named Giganteom, by Ben d'Or, dam Tiger Lily, by
Macaroni, a brother in blood to the famous Ormonde, grand-
sire of Flying Fox, and a full brother to Martagoo, a suc-
cessful English sire. Mr. Lorillard tried to purchase Marta-
goo, bat he was not for sale. Giganteum never raced, but
has been successful in the stud. He arrived in New York a
few days ago, and has been installed at Rancocas.

An ordinance to prevent book-making and to close the
pool rooms has been drawn up by the City Attorney of Sac-
ramento and will probably be passed by the city trustees. It
provides: "No person within the limits of the City of Sacra-
mento, upon any trial or contest of skill, speed or power of
endurance between horses, shall sell any pool or pools, or
make any book, list or memorandum, for or on which money
or other articles of value shall be received or entered up,
listed or written." No pools can be sold for the purpose of
sending the same to any Fair or race track enclosure, either
within or without this 8tate. Any person violating the or-
dinance shall be guilty of e. misdemeanor, and upon convic-
tion thereof shall be fined not less than $50, nor more than
$200, or by imprisonment in the City Prison not exceeding
thirty days, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

"CobH-EM," writing from London, says 'Democrat will
certainly start in the Darby this year if he is fit, and that
there will probably be no protests against him because he is
a gelding. It is noteworthy that only nine geldings have
started in the long list of Derby renewals. Tbis list com-
prises Dorus in 1812, British Tar in 1844, The Old Fox in
1849, Gholab Singh in 1851, 8pecial License in 1^57, Roque-
fort and Taraban in 1867, Curzon in 1895 and Ballyleck in
1899. Of these only Cnrzin finished 'In the money,' he
having been second to Sir Visto. The difference between
Democrat's case and those quoted, however, lies in the fact
that all the above nine were entire colts when entered.
Despite all this, I feel very confident that Democrat will be
hailed the victor at Epsom on the eventful Wednesday if
only he is good enough to carry the 'light blue, black cap'
home in advance of bis opponents."

The Australians were a long ways ahead of us in adopting
starting gates and numbering saddle cloths, but they are cer-
tainly slow with their annunciators as the following from the
Asian will show: "At the last Caulfie'd races in Australia a
new invention by a Mr, Don Carr of Melbourne for display-
ing the winner's number above the judge's box immediately
after a race was successfully tried. A light framework is
fixed on the roof of the judge's box, and directly the race ts
over the winner's name is placed on a eliding frame and run
up, so that the result of the race is within the view of all on
the stand almost immediately. The working of it is en-
tirely under the judge's control, and it seems a decided im-
provement on the old system of running up the numbers on
a separate frame three or four minutes sometimes after the
hoises have passed the box. Those short heads should lose
half their effect on owners and backers if they are put out of
their misery at once in the way allowed by this new dodge."

A fierce war is going on over the sale of the historic old
Lexiogton race course, the intensity of which was not under-
stood until recently, when Manager Farris of the track stated
that be would not permit trainers the use of the track and
stables for $10 per month, much less $2, which is the usual
charge. When asked why he would not allow the trainers
to use the track, he said: "I am under instructions from Mr.
Greeu to keep the gates nailed up, and to allow no one to
use it for any purpose. Last summer I allowed horses racing
at the Elks Fair to use the track, and made nearly $60 by
doing so; and I also allowed the holding of several picnics on
th° grounds. When I came to settle with Mr Green he was
indignant, and ordered me not to accept any more business
of aoy kind. My salary has been going on, and I am resid-
ing in the clubhouse, but not a cant is being made out of the
property:" Ic is learned that Mr. Green considers that the
breeders have bsdly mistreated him. When they were in
need he came to their rescue with $30,000 to assist them in
keeping their association in operation. Now they will not
pay him a reasonable price for the grounds. It is for this
reason that be has decided to starve them out. Overton H.
Cheoult, one of the leading turfmen of Lexiogton, when
asked regarding what the breeders proposed to do, said: "We
aeed a track, and need it badly. Unless some satisfactory
igreement can be made with Mr. Green we shall have to get
.ogetber and build a track." It is learned that many of the
oreeders who have the means to carrv on such work favor
building a new track, and have already gone on n
Baying tbey will not pay one peony toward i1
Farris eays he could fill every stall at the track
would permit him to rent them.

OCCIDENT STAKE OP 1902.

Has Received 94 Entries, the Largest List in
Its History.

Secretary Peter J. Shields is certainly entitled to great
credit for the m*goibcent entry list received by him for the
State Agricultural Society's Occident Slake for trottiDg foals
of 1S99 to be trotted in 1902. There are 94 entries to the
6Uke, which is a greater number than have ever before beeo
made in its history, and the stake will be as he predicted, the
most valuable since its inauguration. It is reasonably sure
that $4000 will bs divided aanag the winner* of tbe race
which is a target stake than harness horses have had an op-
portunity to contest for in California for several years. The
entry list is as follows :

J30INGS IN DOGDOM.

The St. Bernard Club will meet on Monday evening.

The bench show of the 8an Francisco Kennel Clab will be
held on or about the firBt week in May.

A number of local finders are urgently advocatine an A..
K. C. circuit, taking in San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose,
Stockton and Sacramento. This would create a boom in
kennel circles.

Professor's Lad, a grand field pointer, owned by C. M.
Osborn, died recently. He was by Professor out of Drab and
was a remarkably intelligent and well trained dog. Most dogs
are broken to whistle, Lad only recognized the motion of his
master's hand, whnh he understood to perfection.

Alec Truman, heretofore known as an Irish setter fancier
with a strong liking for pointers.has become the owDer of the
Eoglish setter Peach Nugget (Valtente— Peach Mark). It is
probable that Don of Blitne, one of Mr. Truman's pointers
in charge of Henry Betten, will not start in tbe trials.

W. H. Williams' well known bench winning Irish water
spaniel bitch Belle Marsh was accidentally shot during a
hunt on the marsh near Sears Point last Sunday — she lost one
of her ears; this disfigurement will tell against her on the
bench but luckily will not militate sgainst her breeding, she
is too good a dog for the lovers of the breed to lose.

Stockdale Kennels at Bakersfield have some very promis-
ing pointer puppies lhat are coming on finely under Man-
ager Dodge's training. Two more litters are shortly ex-
pected. The recent breeding of 8am's Bow with Jingo's
Bagpipe and Florida to Cuba of Kenwood 'eads to the most
sanguine expectations for a crop of future Derby winners.

The dachshund has been the subject of many pens and
pencils, and outside of technical matter by the fancy, gener-
ally tbe space devoted to the Teutonic yard of dog has been
devoted to bumor and frivolity. It can now be conceded,
however, that the Cleveland Plain Dealer has "gilded tbe
lily" in a very artistic manner. This is what a boy wrote
about the dachshund: "Tbe dockshound is a dorg notwith-
staudin' appeerencis. He has fore less two in front an' two
behind, an' they ain't on spsekin' terms. I wunsl made a
dockshound out of a cowcumber an' fore matcbie, an' it
lookt as nacheral as life. Dockshounds is farely intelligent
considerin' thare shaip Thare brains bein' so far away
frum tbare tales it bothers them sum to wag tbe lattnr. I
wunst noo a dockshoond who wuz too impashunt to wate till
he cood signal the hole length of bis boddy when he wanted
to wag bis tale, so he maid it up with bis tals thet when he
wanted it to wag he would shake his rite ear, ao' when the
tale seen it shake it wood wag. But as fer me, gimme a bull

pup with a peddygree."

The followiog list is in compliance with the rales of the
American Kennel Clnb regarding the publication of the
ratiog of shows of the past year in the issue of The Gazette
for December. The next shows given by any of the nnder"
mentioned clubs will have a minimum rating, in accordance
with this list.

It will be seen that the San Francisco bench show is
given a rating equal to tbe New York Bhow. The scale of
points for shows on the Pacific Coast being: 400 dogs or over,
5 points; 250 dogs and under 400, 3 points, under 250 dogs,
1 point.

According to the Patent Record, an automatic nursery
maid for orphan dogs is one of the latest ideas that have been
presented to the Patent Office. A commonplace Boap box is
substituted for the puppy's mother by introducing a sheep-
skin covered cylinder supporting a series of robber nipples.
These Dipples connect by tubes with an inner cylinder con-
taining milk, and the space between the inner and outer
cylinders is filled with warm water.

H. G. Hemmelright reports the loss on December 26th
]ast} bv Powhattan Kennels of ao excellent young fox terrier
bitch Powhattan Sweetheart (Claudian— Warren Tattle) A
prominent fancier, the best informed fox Urrier authority on
the Coast, pronounced the youngster one of tbe most promis-
ing bitches out here, she being almost a perfect imape of
Claudian. Mr. Hemmelright brought Tattle from the Eist
in whelp, he baa been very unfortunate with the litter losing
all of them, the last Burvivor being Sweetheart, who sue-
combed to an attack of inflimmalion of tbe babels.

The Portland Kennel Club was organized in Portland, Or-
on Wednesday evening, The officers of the new kenoel or
ganization are: W. F. Burrell, President; F. W. Holman,
Vice President; R. T. Barnes, Treasurer; who are also
directors, tbe other members of the B^srd of Directors beiog
T. J. Tiedtman, William Peasleeand Dr. F. Cauthorn. The
club will make application for membership in toe Pacific
Kennel League. A bench Bhow iu March is contemplated,
this will enable Portland fanciers to make entries in the cir-
cuit of Bhows to be held in the principal cities of the north-
west this spring.

On Monday, January 22d, the seventh annual trials of the
Pacific Coast Field Trials Club will commence near Bakers-
field. The selection of Mr. Thomas Johnson of Winnipeg,
Manitoba, as judge is one that is pleasing indeed to those who
will attend the meeting. MessrB Dodge, Lucas, Coutts and
Betten have been hard at work putting the finishing touches
to their dogs. 8ome good ones will be in the four stakes to
he run off — Tacoma, C. B. Dwyer's blue belton English setter
dog is looked upon as a coming crack. Dr. Wilson, of Elko,
Nevada, is already at Bakersfield with 'hree excellent setters.
This has been a hard year at Bikersfield to train dogs, birds
have been scarce and cover lacking, consequently tbe few
birds found get into trees and take tone flights, as a result the
does will be somewhat short on bird work. Tbe plentiful
supply of rain recently, however, should cause the quail to
come down into the valleys and also produce to a great ex-
tent a growth of suitable cover. Judging from the reticence
and illv concealed enthusiasm displayed by several of the
club members lately tbe Members and Subscription Stakes
promise to be unusually interesting.

The Use of Dogs tn War.

The use of dogs in war dates back to the Greeks and
RomanB, but the modern idea of training them for special
military Bervice was born in 1886 in Germany, and for the
past ten or twelve years each battalion of German jagers has
had eight or ten dogs assigned to it for this training. The
two or three dogs thns falling to each company are placed
under the care of a non-commissioned officer and two men,
and each regiment has an officer detailed to superintend their
instruction.

The dog is to be used for various special duties, such as the
service of ioformation and security or scouting, on marches
and reconnois^ances and in patrols, sentinel doty with the
outposts, as messengers on both these duties, as carriers of
supplies and ammunition on tbe battlefield, aod to hunt up
the wounded after battle.

To test the results thus far obUiued, a number of dogs be-
longing to various regiments were assembled at Oils in
Prussian Silesia last July for trial. There were sixteen dogs
in all, six of them under two years old. They were tried
on the following points: Conduct as watch dog, return from
patrol, followiog master by scent alone, and lying down. The
first point was tested by placing the dog with his master at
an outpoBt giving only a limited view and then causing two
jagers (in enemy's uniform) to approach under cover from a
point about 400 yards distant. The second and third points
were tested by sending four dogs at one time from an out-
post (or patrol) to four different sentinels, then back again to
the outpost (or patrol), back again to the sentinel, and once
more to the outpost (or patrol) the latter having meanwhile
changed its position.

The various points were given values, and one of the dogs
received 96 out of a possible 100 The dogs were of different
breeds aod crosses, but the best were collies and shepherd
dogs. The average rate of travel of the dogs as messengers
was about 9J miles an hour.

Much interest is taken in this subject in other armies be-
sides that of Germany, aod, when once the best breed is de-
termined, dogs may be specially bred for military service and
a considerable number utilized in the armies.

The Los Angeles Pigeon Shooting Episode.

The individuals representing the 8. P. C. A. of Lob
Angeles have succeeded, after a great deal of bluff and
bluster in making just an ordinary small anthill out of the
mountain of feathers they attacked at the recent shooting
tournament. This particular interference with the affiirs of
sportsmen and gentlemen being prompted by a code of ethics
which had its musty origin during the gruesome days of
puritanical intolerance when that God-fearing and saintly
man Cotton Mather used to rub his hands in holy glee
whilst alleged witches were gibbeted and drowned, or would
frown ominously at the unlucky Quaker who was rewarded
for staying with his religious convictions by having a hole
burned through his tongue, and with a common ordinary
poker at that. These fanatical beings who looked after the
betterment of body and soul of those who dared to do and
think differently from them were finally temporized so that
in later day* nothing more seruus than fines and imprison
ment were imposed. Possibly the effects of a pumpkin pie
and sweet cider diet on succeeding generations had some-
thing to do with it, this is a reasonable inference when it is
known that in certain parts of the East, largely represented
by the Los Angeles contingent, a man who kissed his wife in
public, anyone playing a jewsbarp, or in comparatively re-
cent days smoked on the streets (in Boston, for instance) was
haled before a msgistrate by the only too willing constable
and mulcted by the champions of the outraged law who after-
wards took their allotted rakeoff in the shape ct" fees. We
have been in a populous city of the East, where the really
truly good people ruled, and noticed among other excellent
regulations that the street railway corporations were com-
pelled to lake tbe bells off tbe horses on Suodavs 1 The un-
holy noise was ntopped but tbe risk to human life was greatly
increased, this cut no figure with the "praise God bare
bones" element.

The humane society (?) people desired a separate arrest for
each individual and for every bird shot during the tourna-
ment and all this for the purpose of testing tbe law ! The
Sheriff, however, had too much sense to assist in such un-
called for proceedings. Seventeen arrests were made and
the shooters were brought be fore Justice James in the town-
ship court on the 2d inst. The attorneys for tbe society
drew one complaint sgainst A. W Bruner and desired that
the court should hold all the defendants on general princi-
ples under lhat one complaiut. This was refused, the court
insisting that the complaints be filed against the accused.
The Bruner caee came up last Saturday when the original
complaint filed was withdrawn by reason of a fatal error and
a new one filed. The first complaint alleged tbe offense to
have been committed in the city, which would necessarily
throw the case into the city courts, they having exclusive
jurisdiction of misdemeanor cases. Tbe amended complaint
alleges the ofiense to have been committed outside tbe city
limits, and in such case (he township justice acquires juris-
diction.

On the 6:h inst. three additional complaints were filed:
Against S. R. Smith, E. Vaughan and M. Chick, the other
cases were dismissed. The heariog was set for last Saturday
but was continued for one week, until to-day. The matter
of evidence is inconsequential, the essential facte not being
denied. The whole matter turns upon the construction
placed upon the law, and this phase will be threshed out
when t e issues are raised by demurrer.

The gun club members have the moral support and en-
couragement of the leading citizens and business men of the
city; it is a fact worthy of notice that their counsel, who are
among the most prominent gentlemen at the Bar in this
State, have volunteered their services gratuitously.

For tbe edification of tbe S. P. U. A. (society for the
propagation of crass assininity) and also in response to num-
erous inquiries from trap shooters among our readers, we
submit some interesting legal opinions that were written by
learned jurists and which are the leading authorities
of the kind:

of Criminal Correction waB reversed and the complaint dis-
missed. Judge Harden, on Jane 12, 1877, in delivering the
following opinion, all the jadges concurring, said in substance.

'■The object ot tbe act is to prevent unnecessary suffering to animals'
Human beings are not included under tbis expression, bat with this
exception tbe act, in its terms. Is b-oad enough to cover all crealu-es.
It is not so material, however, to ioquire how low in the order of cre_
atlon the subjects o: this act extend, as it is to ask what is needier
mutilation in killiug. within the meaning of the act. All needs are
compare' Ive. The flesh of animals is not oecessari for the subsistence
of man at lfast in this country, and by some people it is not so used.
Yet, it would not be denied that the fcllllog of oxen for food is lawful.
Fish are not necessary to any one, nor are various wild animals whlcb
are tilled and sold in the market: yet their capture and kllhog are
regulated by law. Tbe words ' needlessly and unnecessarily ' must
have a seasonable, not an absolute an i literal, meaning attached to
them As it would not be claimed that the angler who catches fi-h tor
pastime, and neither sells nor eats them when caught. Is wnhto the
prohibition of the law. so the marksman who. as an exercise of skill
or as a diversion n himself or to others, Flints pigeons, either from a
trap or as they flv in the woods, does not violate the essential object*
ot the act. When the prevention of cruelty and suffering is concerned-
there Is plainlv a difference between instantaneous and lingering aeath-
The former is generally. If not always, painless. Yet, in favor ot those
sports which are considered healthful recreations, and exercises tending
to promote stre glh. bodily agility, and courage, the pain which comes
from a lingering death in the lower animals is often disregarded in the
customs and laws of humane and highly civilized peoples. In England
an actot Parliament has been passed to restrict vivisection, a practice
which Las b'gh scientific ends. Yet fox-hunting, which Is a cruel
pastime, would no doubt be upheld by the common law.

"It Is certainly the policy of every government to encourage those
recreations which serve as manly exercises, and yet do not necessarily
lead to pr-iracted pain in the lower animals. The efficiency of the ser_
vices which the citizen is called nponto.ender to the State, in exigeni
cles. may largely depend upon the qualities acquired In manly sports
and from some of the most attractive of these a certain amount of in-
jury to dumb animals seems inseparable,

"In tbe present case there was do mutilation, or anything approaching
to It The birds were killed in a more homane way than by wiingiog
their necks, wnich is an ordinary me:bod oi destroying life in pigeons,
when they are killed merely with a view to their being eaten. We are
of opinion that in the present case there was no violation of the act."

On motion for a re-hearing: In interpreting a legislative
act, the judicial question was— What application did the
Legislature intend the words used to have?

The re-hearing was overruled, the opinion, concurred in
by the court, being rendered by Lewis, P. J , who Baid:

"The universal love of so-called -sports' which involve the destruction
of animal life cannot now be ignored in a search after the legislative
meaning in the act before us. Such diversions are not always resorted
to for the needs of human sustenance. Y-t they are not considered
•needless" for man's enj >yment of his legitimate dominion over the brute
creation. The individual who finds a healthful recreation in gunning or
fishing can hardly be told that tbis must not be gained at the exp-nse of
bis dumo subjects. The plea for life which he might hear, if the gift o
speech were not denied, would have iittle weight against even ithe
momentary triumphs .f the marksman who bring3 down the game. It
may be that the day will cime when sentiments of mercy and humanity
shall be so far advanced, that the man who can s> estimate a fleeting
satisfaction above a lite, however lowly, will be regarded as selfish and
cruel. But no such feeling p avails to-day. Nor can any such be sup-
posed as a basis for tbe inlerpreta*.ion of a legislative enactment. It
could never be the po'icy ot good government to suppress innocent
manly exe-cl^e, which tend to promote physical superiority or to stimu-
late tbe courage and the consciousness of individual poorer, which, in
times of public peril, so often prove the only means of safety."

-An act sucn as this, identified in general fVat -r=s whh popular diver-
sions which, however, indifferent to tie value of brue life, have never
been held 'needless' f^r man's lawjul delecta ion, could not have been
within the legislative contemplation when.thlsludefinite prohibition was
made a law."

The following case is from the records of the Qaarler Ses-
sion Court of Allegheny county, Pa , 1S92, and was quite an
important one, being the Commonwealth vs. Denny et al.
The defendants were acquitted. The jadge's charge was i.e
follows :

"Gentlemen: Each of these defeidants is separately Iniic'ed for
cralty to animals, in that be did unlawfully an 1 wantoniy shoot, wouni,
abuse and Ill-treat one pig -on each, belonging to said J. O'H. Denny and
E. H. McWhoner. This was on the 2lst day of April last. The pigeon
shooting was out in the Eighteenth or Nineteenth Ward of this city. In
the rural part ol the city. The case is founded on tbe Act of Assembly
passed in 1659. which I do not ttalnfc very greatly differs from the one of
1660, that 'Any person who shall within tils commonwealth, wantonly
or cruelly Ill-treat, overload, beat or otherwise abuse any animal, shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor.' It Is a statute law providing against evils
that are supposed to exist. A rule In the Interpretation of statutes, and
an o d one, w 11 established, is that in order to determine what a statute
mean* you must kn iw what the law was prior to the passage of the
statute, and then see what evil was lo be cor^d Our common law 13
modified bv the statute law very largely. There is a common la ^ in re-
gard to animals an1 their treatment by maa that Is very old. and it is of
record lo one of she oldest b »oks we have, an 1 one ot the best law banks
th»l we have. It wai promulgated at the Garden of E len to Adam and
Eve: "God blessed lbem,aod G"d said unto them, Be fruitful an<i mul Iply
and replenish the earth, and sub Jue It, and have dominion over tbe fish
oftbe sea, over the fjwl ol the air, and over every living thiog that
moves upon the earth.'

••Ther^ are passages of the same general import that have been govern-
ing mankind ever since. Tbe fish of tbe sea and the fowWf the air and
the beasts of the earth are f jr man, ra her than man f.jr the oeasts.
Theyare to be used fjr bis suitenaice. t > aid him, for his comfort and
his pleasure. Now In using them be must not unnecessarily cruelly
treat them. The act of Assembly Is Intended to prevent cruel men and
women from un >e^essarlly and want ml y causing pain, where It Is not
necessary In the using ot animal* tor legitimate purposes.

"These defendants are sportsmen belonging, as I uoders and. to an
association; and at this particular time they were shooting, as a test of
skill, to see who oould kill the most birds, each having 50 shots at 50
bird*. That was a legitimate, lawful use ol the birds. Tbe pigeons
were put In a trap one at a time, and let out, and tbev would shoot
Ihem on the wing. If there w^re need of ao authority, and I do not
think it ought even l> have required one. tbe r?upre.ne Court has de-
cided that that la a legitimate use of pigeons; thru It Is not cruel lo
shoot them f .r sport or as a test of skill. The Commonwealth concedes
that the defendants cannot be convict *d simply because they shot tbe
pigeons lo thin way for tt,li purple, but alleges that they were guilty
of i ruelly In this cm* because certain blrdu, or a bird shot by each of
these defendants separately, did not fall btfjro It got beyond the limits
ot ib lr bounds of .SO or SO yds away, and that it was cruelty not to
h- re It brought In at once and kll'ed. Tbe defendants a leg*, on tbe
r hand, that It was done, and that ev*ry reasonable arraogemen,
made forgetting the wounded birds and killing them.a-d they even
1 some birds that ibey could not tell whether they wen wounded
■ c-rtalnty. The birds were brought In and were Intended
far food. But assuming for tbe purposes of this case tba

Mr. O'Brien's Hferences were all correct, that there was no such pro.
vision as the defendants tes'ified to, I am disposed to think, and so
instruct you, that ft Is not the cruelty that is Intended In the act of
Assembly, for them to neglect to kill these Dirds that had escaped. I
know that a great many humanitarians, ard especially professional
humanitarians, tegard it as their duty to kill a wonnded animal at
once. If a horse gets a leg broken, it Is to have no chance if being
cured, but must be shot: and It a bird Is wounded it must be killed
Immediately! I have never y*t heard any well-authenticated CJ.se of a
man or association having cammuoicatlon with horses or pigeons or
chickens to know whether or not they desire to be shot at once; and
I fiod mysslf oiten wondering when I see accounts of these summary
proceedings, and the minner in which, as a matter of humanity, ani.
mals are put out of the way when injured, whether tha horse could
not sit in judgment over a wouadad or crippled mm, or an old man
that uas bej >me iufirm and iLcapicltated from doiog anything and
taking care of himself, and decide that he should be killed ! I am
rather Inclined to think that, when a blrl has gotten away a reason-
able distance, it is not necessary to assume that it will, as a matter o
course die, and it Is a great relief to it and a great advantage to it and
a piece of humanity to at once put it out of its paid. We do not know
whether a wounded bird wants to be put out of its pain and existence
or not I do not think It does, but I do not know; neither do these
gentlemen know. The matte r^dep ends a great deal on sentimentality
on whim, on education, and on what we have been accustomed to.

"I instruct yoa, eenlleme >, that your verdict in each of these cases
should be for the deieodants. It is a misdemeanor, and yon have tbe
ngbtto saywhosbal pay the costs. It Is your duty to say wno shal
pay the costs, and you will determine whether the county, the prosecutoc
or the defendants shall pay them, or the prosecutor and defendants, and
in what propo-tion. I might suggest this to you, that in this case, which
has been brought as a teat case, I have no douot the prosecutor and those
around him, and those whom he represents, honestiy think that this is
cruelty. I do not. I do not think you would, if I were to submit the
matter to you ; but it was brought as a test case and upon good motives,
and I suggest to you that the costs should not be put on the prosecutor ;
and I do not think they ought to be put on the defendants, because they
have not been guilty f anvthing that was unusual or anything that has
been declared a crime, and I suggest that In this case you put the costs
upon the county. It Is able to bear them."

In 1887 A. Nelson Lewis, a member of the Philadelphia
Gun Club, was indicted before the Backs County Court, Pa.,
under the act of March 29, 1869, which makes it a misde-
meanor to wantonly or cruelly kill or ill-treat, overload, beat
or otherwise abuse any animal.

Judgment was entered in favor of the Commonwealth and
a fine of $5 imposed on Mr. Levis. This was was appealed
to the Supreme Court.

Judge Paxton, as Chief Justice (140 Peon 8tate, p 261),
delivered the opinion of the Supreme Court, which is as
follows:

"The specific charge in the Indictment was that the defendant did
'unlawfnUy, waotonly and cruelly shoot, wound, torture, abuse and ill-
treat a certain pigeon,' etc The jury found a special verdict, upon
which the court below entered judgment lor the Commonwealth. We
are, therefore, limited to the facts as fonnd. From the verdict we learn
•that the defendant was a member ot the association called the Phiiadel.
phia Gun Club; that on Dec. 14, 1S87, he attended a pigeon shooting
match and fired with a gun upon certain pigeons liberated from a trap,
killing one and wounding another. The bird so wonnded lighted upon
a tree, and as s ion as Its w mnded condition was discovered It was killed
by a memoer of said club tor and on behalf of said defendant, according
to the custom of said club In regard to wounded birds. The birds so
killed were immeniately sold for food, according to the rule and custom
of said club.'

"We have thus the finding of the jury that the object of this Associa-
tion was to test tbe skill of its members in markmansbip. I u other
words, it was a training school for sportsmen, in which tbey could
acquire skill in shooting on the wing. This being the o' ject of the asso.
elation, the jury further found that the defendant attended for the pur,
poses aforesaid. It was conceded that ha i he killed his bird he would
not have been liaole under the act of 1S69. But having merely wounded
it, he was guilty of cnelty under said act. So that the crime consisted,
not in the fact of the sbooting, bot in wounding instead of Instantly
killing it From the facts found by the jury, the defendant has merely
been pnni'-hed for want of skill.

'■It is doubtless true that much pain and suffering is often caused to
different kinds of game by this unskillful ness of sportsmen. A squirrel
badly wounded may craw] to its hole a-id suffer for many bours and days
and die. It w*s not pretended that the act applied to such cases. The
sportsman In the woods Is not responsible for the accuracy of his aim
under the act of 1869. At the same time it is manifest that much suffering
would be spared wild game if sportsmen were better trained. Skill in
shooting upon the wing can only be gained by practice. It is not so with
inanimate objects. There accuracy of aim can be acquired by shooting
al a mark. It is conc-ded that the sportsman in the woods may test his
skill by shooting at wild birds. Why, th°o may he not do so with a bird
confined in a cage aDd let ont for that purpose? Is the bird in the cage
any better "r has It any higher rights than the bird In the woods ? Both
were placed here by tbe Almighty for the use of man. Thev were not
given to him to be needlessly an l cruelly torturei, and were there any-
thing In the fiodingof the jury toshow that the ohject of this association
was to torture pigeons we would not hesitate to sustain tbe judgment ol
tbe c^urt below. But no iucb purpose appears, nor is there any fi ding
that the defendant was guilty of needless and wanton cruelty. Tbe bird
was Immediately killed as soon as Its condition was discovered.

"A distinction was pressed upon the argument between tbe case of a
captive blra and one at large In the woods. In the latter instance
there Is a necessity to shoot it in order to capture It for f.*od or otber
la a f.il purpose; and if wounding results. It Is an unavoidable incident;
while in the case ol a captive bird, no necessity exists for putting It to
death In this way. Some force may be conceded to this as an abslrac*
proposition, but we do not see its application to the facts ot this case,
Tbe tight to kill tbe pigeon was and must be conceded, and there is
no finding of the jury that Its suffering was greater b cause of the man-
ner of Its death than If It had been killed In some otber way. This is
a scientific question which I do not feel myself competent to pass i pon.
Nor do I tbl"k the av rage juryman Is any better qualld-d lo do so.
It may be that science In the future will discover tbe method of kllllog
a pigeon wl h the least possible pain. So far as other animals are con-
cerned, it is, perhaps, an open question, and the attempt of well mean'
Ing humanitarians In a sister State to reduce the sufferings of con"
demned criminals by putting ibem to death by electricity instead of
by bangl g-bas produced a long controversy which can bar ly be re-
garded as settled An attempt bas b<en made, so far unsuccessfully'
to show It Is unconstitutional because of ltd cruelty.

"We do nt't say there might not be a violation of tbe act ot 1S69 at a
shooting match, but iu our view the facts lound by tbe Jury do not
bring this case within It. The Judgment Is reversed."

Reports from the Bridges are to the efiect that canpasbacfc

OARTRIDO-B AND SHELL.

Me*Brs. Plammer and Phillips on 8unday bad a combined

bag of forty ducks shot near Newark.

A job lot of sweaters on the counters of the H. E. Skinner
Company have caught on. They are going fast, price and
qiality being satisfactory.

The "Pastimes" who are located at Alvarado had an ex-
cellent day's fowling on Sunday last, ten shooters being in
the party and at the club ark.

Ducks are reported to be plentiful near Rio Vista, and
market hunters are said to be shipping them from that joint
to San Francisco in large number;.

Hackmeir Brothers had the pleasure of distributing seventy
ducks, mixed in variety, to their friends — these ducks were
bieged on Sunday last near Alvarado.

Lee Larztlere, J. H. Barfeind and Geo. Wolf shot in the
Spooney Gun Club preserve oo Sunday. The bag, consist-
ing of cans, spooneys and bluebills, was a large one.

Karney and Bruns brought down from Sears Point oa
Sunday one dozen cans. They report plenty of birds in that
section all, however, staked out on the "overflow'' and hard
to get at.

Joe Bickerstaff, a genial sportsman who is as good on blue-
rocks as he is on ducks, bagged sixty docks at Mt. EJen last
Sunday. Joe has shot over the same section for several
seasons past.

Mr. C. P. Ferrel, a Rano sportsman who was in Oregon
recently, has made arrangements to receive a number of
Chinese pheasants this spring which will be used as a nucleus
for stocking Nevada with that game bird.

A boon to tbe hunter or angler is a flexible warm garment
— one that will keep out wind and moisture. Clabrough,
Golcher and Companv have on hand some Swedish tanned
dogskin coats lined with flannel that are i is t the thiog.

The Schelville Rod and Gun Club has been muchly an-
noyed by poachers recently, who make apractce of shooting
at night; this frightens the birds away from the preserve
Tbe clubmen propose to put on an extra force of keepers.

James Maynard Jr. and Thos. Macauley Bhot on the
Willow Lodge preserve Sunday. The rain had fl loded the
blinds and the hunters took to their duckboats and worked
the sloughs in tbe marsh. A good bag resulted, principally
caovasbackB.

8an Pablo, Suisun and Richardson's bays are still fre
quented by immense flecks of canvasback and bluebills.*
Hunters who go after them in boats and who are posted in
favorable positions on shore have made choice bags during
the past ten days.

Murdock and Klevesahl, with the exception of downing a
quartette of quicker?, did but little else last Sunday than specu-
late upon tbe pecular resemblance to Noah's Ark their own
ark at Petaluma creek cut fl )ating in the muddy ocean cover-
ing their usual shooting district.

Jack Santer, who is somewhat of an angler also, set forth
last Sunday to Richardson's bay with his trusty shotgun.
Oae bluebill, ditto "aawbill," ditto ''can," was the bag.
Mister Burfeind made up a table complement out of his own
bag for a duck dinner in the Santer menage.

Olympic Gun Club shooters were somewhat disconcerted
by the news from Suisun last Saturday that the club's pre-
serve was "a lake, no ducks in sight." This condition of
i fl tirs was applicable to most of the bunting groucdi in that
district. Notwithstanding some good bsg; of "cans" were
made on the Pringle ponds.

Qiail hunting in Marin county will close on Monday.
The season in Sonoma, Alameda and Santa Clara closes on
February 1st. Contra Costa and Napa counties are open
until March 1st Qiail hunter? have had to yield tbe palm
to the duck men recently. In most quail districts the birds
have been driven to heavy cover by the rains and conse-
quently are very hard to work.

Among a nudaber of trap shooters the feeling has rapidly
grown that there is too great a diversity of interests for the
reason that there is a larger number of gun club? in this city
than the fport will maintain for best results. In this respect
vq are advised that there is now in circulation a well founded
rumor intimating a probable consolidation of the San Fran-
cisco and Lincoln Gun Cubs during the coming trap season.

Tbe heavy rain Sunday morning spoiled the sport of many
city hunters who were out duck hunting.

The Alameda Gun Club msmbars who were at the elub
preserves on Petaluma creek last Saturday and Sunday all
made good bag-. The ponds on this shooting ground are
levied and kept well batted. Good bags have been tbe rule
for several weeks past. Recently a Sunday morning shoot
indulged in by five members had to be curtailed for lack of
ammunition — the bountiful supply of birds exceeding all
anticipations.

Oakland estuary has recently been the resort of numerous
docks of ducks. Oakland and Alameda gunners have in-
dulged in sculliog for them, with good results. Night shoot*
iDg mnst be much in vogue on the muddy creek, every night
for a week past the reports of shotguos were frequently heard.
Many large fl icks of docks are also seen daily near the rail-
road bridges and in the water bstween the mouth of the
estuary and Oakland wharf.

®jjc Qxzsfcsx mtfc §pmtmman*

Chas. Nobman made a curious find in a spoonbill duck he
shot at Point Reyes recently. In drawing the 'shoveler'
he found ar obstruction in the crop which proved to be a
four-inch catfish, in the mouth of the fish was a large sized
hook with several inches of gut attached. Point Reyes is
noted as a favorite resort for the angler, hat it is not often
that one draws a priza in the lottery of sport containing the
dual features cf gun and rod.

Those of the duck hunting brigade who favor the eastern
bav shore marshes for a day's shooting have been "strictly in
it" for the past two weeks. Many individual bags fell to the
guns of persistent hunters who had notches cut in their
blinds for numerous unfruitful days' waiting for a shot earlier
during tbe season. The ducks, as nsual at Ibis season of the
year, have sought food and shelter in that section from the
rain and wind storms lately prevailing.

The idea which has become so common among Southern
sportsmeo, that canvasbacks have abandoned Louisiana as a
feeding ground, is entirely unfounded. At present there are
more canvasbacks in the State than there have been in a
number of years. They are very wild, however, and their
closely-knitted feathers make itadfficult matter for the
hunter to bring them down. They are present now in thou-
sands near tbe Gulf, at any rate, and next month it is pre-
dicted bv those who cla»m to know, there will be a great
many more.

Fourteen miles west of Merced, by reason of a broken
levee on tbe east bank of the San Joaquin, there is a fi joded
track of some 2000 acres which has been literally packed
with thousands upon thousands of mallard and sprig who are
feeding upon the submerged smartweed, the top3 cf which
are within a few inches of the water's surface. They will
probably stay there as long as the weed is palatable to them.
The market hunters have had a picnic at this spot, making
big bags daily.

Two weeks ago Peter Hart of Wheatland tried tbe ingen-
ious expedient of extracting with a hammer and nail a loaded
shell from a single barreled shotgun. Singular to re-
late there was an explosion aod two medical gentlemen sub-
sequently inventoried the damages as follows : Thumb and
first finger to the right hand a total loss, the whole right hand
badly lacerated, face badlv powder burned. The unfortunate
bnt exceedingly careless Peter has expressed a determination
to let guns alone hereafter.

Duck hunters who selected the Reclaimation district for
their shooting last Sunday found an inland sea: broken levees,
the rain and high tides gave tbe ducks an area of feeding and
resting territory that taxed the strategy of the most expert
banters to get within shooting distance, taking them in
flight was out of the question, they simply rose up in the air
when they pleased and took any old air line route to
whatsoever poiot of destination was their particular choice,
leaving the shooters generally in a position fir to tbe rear.

The quail season in Los Angeles clcsed on January 1st,
but the prospects were not considered favorable for an active
season, which lasted just 31 days, as the past dry winters
have been unfavorable for breeding. The qaail have, how-
ever, been well preserved, and with a wet seosor, which
assures plenty cf feed, will multiply in great numbers. Since
1889 these birds have become more and more scarce. Lack
of rain and proper protection, the outlook up to a compara-
tively short time ago has been far from pleasing to the
sportsmen Present indications now point to a wonderful
change in 1900.

Fred W. Kelley, Harry Kelley and Fred Russ Cook took
the Btaunch yacht Harpoon out last Saturday for a duck
hunting cruise "up the river." Tides, wiad and weather
threatened to be obstacles that would effectually spoil the
BhootiDg features of the outing. They anchored in pictur-
esque Paradiee cove for the night. Next morning in spite
of the uninviting outlook they had a good shoot and made
an excellent combined bag. Had Ihey been able to make
the Corte Madera creek, which was iairlv alive with "canB,"
they would have had an opportunity for shooting ducks such
as rarely is offered the hunter.

A frequent writer on sporting topics and known to many
sportemen in this State is ''Reelfoot " In a recent commun-
ication to The Amateur Sportsman anent "medium priced
guns" and some of the dangers attendant upon their use he
Bays:

''The cheapest guns made for nitrob are, of course, the re-
peaters The Winchester is the beet of these. The lever
action Winchester is not adapted to nitro powder; I once
Bbot a hundred 2^-dram 1 ads of lE C ' from one, and every
load (shell) burst around the head, blowing out a quantity of
the paper through the hrass. This satisfied me, so I sold it
and bought a Model 1893, which gave heller results. I next
went in for double barrels and among the next guns I owned
was mv famous old, No. S4.321. This U now in tbe posses-
sion of Mr. Ferrel), of the Redlands Light Co.; it baa been
fired thousands of times and is yet as good as new I have
offered him all kinds of trade a for V , but he says that 1 ought
to have kept it when I bad it, as now it is not for sale. This
is the gun with wbicb I made a run of ninetv-four live birds
in 1897. I am now shooting a '97 Model Winchester. It
shoots good and works belter than any repeater 1 ever used,
bat a well defined air bell in tbe side of the receiver shows it
to be of pot metal, and cast at that, bo you need not be ear-
prised if when you hear from me again that I am shooting
some fellow's old Smith, Greener or Remington doable barrel
instead of the Dewer — but poor — Winchester 'Trombone.'
I am doing a lot of experimenting now, but am not learning
much, as 1 am canvassing territory that has been pretty
thoroughly worked over.

Of these 'medium priced' gans I think they would be all
right for good black powder, but for nitro, 'oot much, Mary

Ann.' "

The Game Law.

The synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Bseedeb, and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and

various changes in the county game and fish laws, particu-
larly those of recent date and of application in and around
the bay counties.

This synopsis has been frequently copied (in more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
journals and has also been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be msde to current numbers of the Breeder and Spouts
man for the latest and most complete .data coneerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of tbe Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open season for shooting quail, doves, deer and wild duck as
fixed oy the State law is as foUowa: Doves, 15th July to 15th Febru-
ary. Mountain quail and grouse, 1st September to 15th February.

Looking Forward

Shut the storm doors, close the blind.
Draw the shades down, snug and tight,

Gather close around the hearth
'Tis a bitter Winter night.

How the north winds rage without,

As they whirl tbe drifting enow ;
But, within, is quiet warmth,

Tempered by the fire lights glow.

Now inspect the well-tried rods,

Trusted friends for many a year.
Oil the reels, their vibrant song

la sweet music to the ear.

Test the lines ard leaders well,

Rearrange the books of flies;
There nill soon be warm south winds.

Lengthening days and balmy skies.
Then beside the meadow brook,

Or upon the river's breast.
Fishing, you shall pleasure find,

And with pleasure, health and rest.

Banquet of the Fly-Casters.

The members of the Ban Francisco Fiy-Casting Club and
their guests attended the initial meeting and monthly din-
ner of th» club for the season of 1900 last Tuseday evening.
That these gatherings are happily appreciated and looked
forward to by the jolly coterie of anglers is shown in the
increased attendance of the rod wielders at each successive
rally around the oak. President Walter G. Mansfield as
maBter of ceremonies looked after the comfort oi over seventy
guests in his usual masterful style.

The assembly was most erjoyably entertained by Fish
Commissioner Alex T. VogelsaDg, who in a few brief and
witty remarkB gave a synopsiB of numerous incidents and ex-
periences occurring during a recent Eastern trip. Rome of
his observations were of a very radical character, but his
audience willingly overlooked thiB, the tenor of his discourse
being a panegyric on California and its never failing glorious
climate. Vocal selections by F. Monogram Thompson, Ben
Tar box and Fred Surrhyoe were artistically rendered. John
F. Biebe Jr. created pan-demonium whilst illustrating a very
amasiog bit of Chinese lyrical comedy. A musical feature
of the evening were the zither selections of Chas. Mayer Jr.,
who plays this most charming instrument with the skill and
execution of a yirfaoso. A number of popular selections
were given bv a string orchestra accompanied by the c'ink-
ing and merry choruses of the diners. The rag-time clog
aolo of Messrs, Thompson and Siebe, manipulated with
spoons, was so realistic that John Butler, F. R. 8. A., shed
tea«-s of regret that President John Lemmer, B. M , was
absent and missed the opportunity of bis life in studying
hammer meiody. The roast ducks served were the gift of
Mr. Chancing Mansfield and some of his Napa friends.

It was announced that the initial fly-casting contests for
this season wi 1 be held at S'ow Lake oo tbe third 8aturday
and Sunday in February. Oo tbe first and second Sundays
in February, tbe club tackle will beat the disposal of new
membeis for preliminary practice, several of the veterans
will be preseot tor tbe purpose of coachine the novices.

Steelhead are in evidence at Point Reyes, (he water at this
writing should be clear and in good condition for aogliog.
Salmon creek is also a promising stream JMBt now. The
fish are commencing to run aod local anglers are on tbe qui
vive. Frank Maskey aod John Butler are at the Poiot
station to-day among tbe advance guard.

The San Gregorio is recently reported lo have given
auglers one or two good catches. This stream is looked upon
as a first class fi?hiog water aod should give excellent sport
jast ae soon as the water — which has been very murky — com-
mences to clear.

Col. Keliebor is again with us, having recently returned
after spending seueral weeks larpoo fishing at Aransas Bay,
Texas. Tha Colonel has an eye oo tbe possibilities of
Russiao river.

Local anglers anticipate plenty of good sport oo Russian
river io about a week, it will take fully that long for the
waters to clear.

Some nice trout were caught about ten days ago

THE FARM.

OuriDg PorK.

As this is the season for "hog killing" the
following instructions for caring pork will
not be oat of place: First of all let the meat
get thoroughly cooled before salting. I
usually slaughter ic the forenoon, cut up and
trim in the evening, spreading the meat out
so it will readily cool, then begin the salting
process next morning. I place the meat on
an inclined plane, first removing the ham
bones to the ball and socket joint, then for
100 pounds of meat use four pounds best fine
salt, one pound of BUgar, and four ounces of
saltpeter; the latter must be thoroughly pul-
verized; mix thoroughly and rub it into the
flesh side of the meat and well into the shanks
of the joints. When the mixture has struck
in, rub again. There will be enough to rub
the above amount of meat three times. It
usually takes about three weeks to complete
the job and the size of the meat does not
matter, as it will not take any more than the
right quantity and all will be alike and just
right for cooking, and for either ham or
bacon. If these directions are intelligently
followed the quality cannot be excelled. Hang
np and smoke immediately with hickory cbips
if possible. The great advantage of the in-
clined plane is in allowing all liquids coming
from the meat to immediately pass away and
not rise up and around it. Oae who has never
tried the plan will be astonished at the amount
that will pass off from the meat of one or
two good hogs. After the meat is smoked
place it in tight muslin bags, place in barrel
(preferable) and fill all space between and
around the meat with dry salt. Oats, cut
straw, or hay, is also good. Then you are
safe from the flies.

For pickling, we take fresh side meat, cut-
ting into strips about six inches wide, stand
edgewise, skin side out, in the barrel or jar
(preferably the latter, and whichever it bs Bee
that it is scrupulously clean), first putting in
a light coat of salt so as to entirely hide the
pork. Repeat in the same manner until the
barrel is full or the pork is all in. Cover the
top layer thickly with salt, then make a brine
by adding salt to boiling water until it will no
longer dissolve the salt. Let stand until cold
then cover the meat completely and weight
down heavily bo as to keep it at all times

under the brine.

Milk Preservatives.

Look out for the man with the patent
milk preservatives.

There are various agents now abroad in the
land selling "Freezene," "No-ice-ueeded Pre-
servative," "Liquid Milk Sweet," and several
such nostrums intended incidentally to keep
milk from souring, and primarily to gather in
the farmer's loose change.

In all those several cases which have been
reported the chemical basis of the preservative
is the same. It is formaldehyde — formalin —
a powerful disinfectant and germicide, but not
a desirable article of diet for the human
species. It is not strictly and seriously poi-
sonous, but it is held by all the best authori-
ties to be harmful to the digestive system.

It is the same material now largely in use
in creameries for preserving samples of milk
for testing. It will certainly keep milk from
souring; and it thus enables the slovenly
dairyman to cover up many of his worst neg-
ligences. It leaves him free to enjoy the filth
of an unclean stable, to save himself the
trouble of cleaning his cans, to be aB loose
and lazy and wicked as he pleases.

That is not to say that the man who uses
Preservative, Freezene and the like is neces-
sarily that sort of a fellow ; but these chemicals
do protect him from the results of negligence
and ignorance, and seem, to the unprejudiced
observer, to offer the carelees milkman an un-
desrved salvation from his sins.

M-. Theodore Reed, of Moscow, Idaho, has
beeu in California during the past week look-
ing Tor full blooded cattle and sheep with
■' ch to improve the stock of his State. Mr.
I believes that small farmers should aim
d prove their herd 4 by using the best
to be found. He intends calling on
ral California cattle and sheep breeders
b if ore leaving California.

Ayrshires.

Upon being asked why he liked the Ayr-
shires, a breeder recently made the following
reply:

Because they are essentially the common
farmers' breed, being large produces of a very
superior quality of milk; good feeders in the
barn, great foragers in the pastures; quiet with
the fences ; of good dispositions; easily
handled; freer from diseases than probably
any other breed; having good square udders
carried well up and forward.

While alt breeds make some special claim
to individual merit; as the Jersey for quality
and the Holstein for quantity of milk, yet the
Ayrshires combine all these good qualities in
such high degree as to place them easily in
the forefront as a most desirable breed for all
farmers. With our present improved methods
of manipulating milk into butter and cheese,
the Ayrshire has taken a long step ahead, and
is destined to become a powerful competitor
in all breed distinctions.

In quantity of milk produced, the Ayrshire
is now taking the lead in herd records for
milk production, and in quality of milk sur-
passing even the Jersey, both as to quantity
of butter from given quantity of milk and
cream, and as to keeping and shipping quali-
ties of milk and butter; and in these respects
it is admitted by many owners of other breeds
to be superior.

While I do not claim perfection for the
Ayrshires, yet they do possess so many good
points as to commend them most strongly to
the consideration of all practical farmers.
Having kept both Holsteins and Jerseys, I
can say from actual experience that the Ayr-
shires have been freer from organic and
structural diseases than either of the above
breeds, and the experience of other practical
farmers and of professional veterinarians coin-
cides precisely with mine, making this a strong
point of superiority in the Ayrshire for the
common farmer to consider. Tbeir quiet
and thoroughly domestic disposition is a great
point in their favor, and their characteristic-
ally strong constitution appeals to the com-
mon farmer's need.

Their full, round, bright eyes, prompt and
intelligent movements, quickness to appreciate
kind treatment and to respond to high keep-
ing, are other points in their favor; and if by
force of circumstances the farmer is compelled
to deal out rough and coarse fodder, they take
it with hearty good appetites, and almost
thirve on what other breeds will actually
grow poor on. These, with many other good
features, must compel recognition for this
hightly profitable and practical breed of cattle.
Never having been unduly pampered for great
milking and show records, they have passed
hrough generation after generation of good
breeding with vigor unimpaired and qualities

unsurpassed.

The Age for Breeding

The best lambs are obtained from rams
when one, two and three years old because
they are then in their best yigor. At these
ages they may be mated with one hundred
females if they are well fed, although in the
range country the rule is from forty to fifty to
each buck. They may be used as old aB five,
six and seven years, when they are really
good ones, but we may expect better lambs
from them when they are younger. Ewes
should not be bred until after they have been
shorn once. If they are bred as lambs
they will not grow bo large themselves, nor
will they raise large lambs, bo that when any-
one practices breeding females as lambs he
certainly does that which will injure the size
of his sheep When a young ewe has to nur-
ish a lamb and make growth at the same
time Bbe cannot make bo good growth herself,
as the lamb is a draio upon her system and
she cannot nourish it so well either before or
after birth, because she has to do something
at buildiog up ber own frame. The best lambs
may be expected from ewes (wo, three and
four years old at the time they drop their
lambs, but sometimes it may pay to keep
them looger, It will be necessary to change
the ramB every two years where the fiock ie
not large, for if this is not done, then the ram
would be bred to females of his own offspring,
and that would be what is termed in-and-in-

breeding, which if practiced frequently would
lead to harmful results. The ewes should be
in good condition at the mating season. If
they are poor, they will not likely breed until
they put on a good deal of flesh. This may
prolong the lambing season so that it will ex-
tend over many weeks, which is not desirable,

Feed for Young Pigs.

Prof. Thomas Shaw recommends the follow.
ing supplemental feed for young pigs where
they do not get enough feed from the sow: If
there is skim milk on hand, partition off a
place in the pen where the dam is, if necessary,
but which she cannot reach, and there, in a
low trough, feed some skim milk as soon as
the pigs will drink it. As soon as they take
it freely feed them a slop of shorts and milk
Then give them a little oats or corn strewn
on the floor in addition to the slop. Feed the
slop so that it will not become stale at any
time. If there is no skim milk at hand, a
thin slop of shorts and water is next best
presumably a little warm if the weather is
cool. But when the trough room is amplei
young pigs may have their food supplemented
by allowing them to eat with the dam at will.
The same kinds of food that are best suited to
provide an abundance of good pure milk from
the dam will alone provide tbe right sort o'
feed for the pigs. But the trough should be
low, and one or more planks in front of it, s0
that the little pigs can easily get into it, and
care shculd be taken not to feed much bran or
the hulls of oats to the bow when the pigs are
learning to eat, as such food is too coarse for
tbe dig stion of the little pigs. It is surpriB
ing how soon they will learn to eat thus along-
with tbe dam. Take it all in all, there is
perhaps no better mode of management than
that just subscribed for average conditions. It
is the least labored. It answers very well and
forces one to be cautious aB to the character of
the food given to the dam.

Highest Price in Sixteen Tears.

The center of attraction at the Chicago
Stock Yards last month was sixteen head of
high-grade Angus beeves averaging 153S
pounds for which the sky-scraping price of
$ti.25 was obtained. This is the highest sale
in considerably more :hin fifteen years. The
cattle were raised, fed and owned by the
noted feeder and Aberdeen Argus breeder,
Mr. L. H. Kerick, of Bloomington, 111. They
were purchased by Mr. Isador Brown for
Armour. These calveB were not "fattened" in
the ordinary sense of the term. Mr. Eer-
rick Bays: "I do not fatten cattle; I grow beef.''
These words give an excellent idea of Mr.
Kerrick's feeding methods. Instead of taking
the frame of a matured steer and covering it
with a layer of fat. Mr. Kerrick starts the
beef-making process before the calf is fairly
weaned, and before it leaves its dam the
youngster is eating meal, etc , line a good
fellow. Kerrick's cattle never know what it
is to he hungry from calfhood to maturity.
The first year of their existence these cattle
were fed liberally, but not crowded. After
that they were gradually worked on to full
seed, consisting of a varied ration of which
corn formed the staple eonstituent. They
Bometimes had a little bran as well aB oats,
and were also given oilmeal to some extent,
but never more than one pound per head per
day. For roughage they had corn fodder,
clover, timothy, rich blue grasf and oat straw.
Mr. Kerrick believes in tempting the appetite
with a varied ration, and this successfully
sustains his position. Kindness is the rule
on his farm, and everyone of the steers was as
gentle as a kitten. — Drover's Journal.

Salting Butter.

There'are three wayB of salting butter. One
is bp brine salting, letting it stand in brine for
a short time after the buttermilk has been
thoroughly washed out and while the butter
is yet in a granular form. Another plan is
to wash out the buttermilk and gather tbe
butter together in a mass and then sprinkle
the Bait over it; give a few turns to the churn
to incorporate the st.lt with the butter. A third
plan is to take the butter out of tbe churn
and Dut on the table or in a worker; sprinkle
the necessary quantity of salt over it then
work it with a ladle or with the butter
worker.

A new method of handling tbe range cattle
business is announced as on trial. The Dun-
bar Cattle Company of Wyoming introduced
it for the management of its enormous busi-
ness. It consists substantially of dividing the
great herds into small bunches, each of which
is to be managed and controlled by a small sep-
arate company, all such companies to be under
the general supervision of the mother corpor-
ation, Judging by the articles filed by the
small companies thus far organized, pursuant
to the plan, they are to be capitalized at about

115,000 each.

♦

The investigations made by the bureau of
animal industry have not yet resulted in the
discovery of a dip that will destroy ticks
without doicg serious injury to the cattle
also. It is not probable that the bureau c fa-
cials havs abandoned tbeir investigations, but
do experimental work has been reported for
some time, and dipping is not likely to be
employed again until a dip that has been
demonstrated to be effective in destroying
ticks and harmless to the cattle shall have
been discovered.

The dairy products of the United States in
1898 were worth about $500,000,000. In the
entire country there are about 16,000,000
milch cows. The annual consumption of
milk is about 1.750,000,000 gallons, while
1,500,000,000 pounds of butter and 300,000,-
000 pounds of cheese are produced. A great
enemy of the dairy interests is oleomargarine,
of which in the last fiscal year 87 800,000
pounds were manufactured, aB compared with
57,516,000 pounds in 18»7.

Hamlen & Chism, the stock-drovers, have
jutt imported two carloads of hogs for the
trade in Grass Valley, and they have been
bought up by the local butchers of that city.
These hogs were brought out on the trains all
the way from Missouri, and were imported
from Colfax over the narrow gauge. The
hogs arrived in good condition and are said
to be superior to the California-raised pro-
duct.— Nevada City Herald.

The humble cow has suddenly taken a boom
and soon will be an expensive necessity. No
good cows can be purchased now short of $50,
and the chances are the price will go above
that. With the advent of the creameries and
condensed tnilk factories throughout the State
there is being created a demand for milk un-
equalled before in the industrial history of
the country. —Dixon Tribune.

Claus Spreckels has purchased the Finnel
ranch in Tehama county. The ranch consists
of 30,000 acres. When it passes into the
hands of its new owners it will be used for the
cultivation sf sugar beets. A beet sugar fac-
tory is one of the possibilities for Tehama
county.

Beet-Fed Cattle.

To our fund of bnowledwe was added this
week the information that cattle thrive on
beets with results highly gratifyiog to the
owner of both the beets and the cattle. In
this valley this year a large acreage of beets
was allowed to go to waste from the fact that
the beets were small and thin, and not worth
the trouble or expense of harvesting them for
the sugar factory. From other sources Cash
Glines learned that there was nothing better
for cattle than these same abandoned beet
fields, and into his little patch he turned
Bixty head of cattle. He noticed that a taste
for the beets had to be cultivated, but when
once the cattle began to eat they did so
almost to the point of gorging. They first
ate the tops and when the field was picked
clean the beets were plowed out and the
cattle given a free ran. Mr. Glines said he
could almost see them grow,and when shortly
after he disponed of them he found they had
increased in good solid weight, and otherwise
improved in condition so as to secure for him
the top-notch price. He sold the band to C.
£. Sherman, who informed him it was the
nicest lot he bad bought in many a day. John
Sherman is now feeding a band, and while it
may be late in the season to offer advice, we
would say to others: Go thou and do like-
wise.— Santa Maria Graphic. L:-

FOR THREE NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO THE

BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

THE GEM POCO is a 4x5 camen, constructed with a universal or fixed
focus lens that will take a picture clear and sharp at the outer edge as well
as at the center This was deemed an impossibility until last season, when
the GEM POCO demonstrated that it could be done. And yet no others
have succeeded in obtaining this much desired result.

It is covered with fine Morocco grain leather, has leather handle, two tripod
plates, and two large brilliant oblong view finders, made in proportion to the
plate, which insures the correct position ol the views.

It is equipped with a newly discovered fixed focus GEM lens, constructed on
an entirely new principle, giving a great depth of focus, cutting the plates
clear and sharp to their full size, together with rotary diaphragm with three
apertures, Rochester safety shutter arranged for time or instantaeous expos-
ures, and speed regulator.

As all working parts are made flush with the camera box, there is no possi-
bility of their becoming broken or getting out of order.

Any one sending us three new yearly subscribers, accompanied by the cash ($9.00), will be sent a GEM POCO.
If you intend to get up a club, send for sample copies, to be used in canvassing, or send us a list of names of people
you intend to see, and sample copies will be sent to them from this office. BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

OLEASAXTOX TRACK, where ao many champions

a neater and handsomer appearance than the old
"shacks" wherein were once housed Director, Azote,
Directum, Flying Jib, Direct and many others of the

BAY3WATER "WILKES.

A Promising Young Stallion With Producing
Thoroughbred Blood Close Up.

g f Sable Wilkes,.

Sedgwick.

When daring the limited harness raciog season of 1899, in
California, the greeo pacer Kelly Briggs came out and won
his first race in the fast time of 2:10i and 2:11J, and closed
the season with a record of three winning races, one second
and one third money out of a to' al of live starts, with a total
of $1900 to his credit, attention was not only directed to him
as ODe of the best young horses of the year, but inquiry be-
gan to be made about his sire Bayswater Wilkes, whose pedi-
gree is as follows :

( Geo. Wilkes

Bayswater Wilkes is a young horse, having been foaled in
1891, at Brookside Farm, near Mountain View, the property
cf N, J. Stone. He was sold at auction as a yearling and
purchased by his present owner, Mr. S. H. Boy, of Winters,
Yolo county. Mr. Hoy trained him in his three year old
form and trotted him a mile in 2:20 without putting him to
his utmost speed, but while exercising the horse on the Sac-
ramento track happened to be so unfortunate as to ccme into
collision with a bicycle rider and there was a wrecked
bicycle, and a badly cut up horse in consequence. Owing to
this accident Bayswater Wilkes was thrown out of training
and has never been raced, but he could now step a mile in bet-
ter than 2:20 at any time if given preparation. In the stud he
has had the most limited opportunities and has probably
been bred to not over fifty mares all told and while the pro-
duce of these mares all show speed on the road, Kelly Briggs
is the only one that was ever trained for a race. There are a
few of his two and three year olds that will be worked this
year, however, and they are all a credit to their sire.

The blood lines of Bayswater Wilkes are rich in racing
blood. On the upper half of the tabulation his sire, Sable
Wilkes 2:18, was a race horse, and is the sire of 32 standard
performers; his grandsire, Guy Wilkes 2:1-5}-, was also a
race horse and is the sire of 60 with standard records; bis
great grandsire, Geo. Wilkes 2:22, was the greatest race
horse of his day, sired S3 with standard records and founded
the greatest of the trotting families. The dam of Sable
Wilkes is Sable by The Moor, and she is the dam of Sable
Wilkes 2:18, Ulee Wilkes 2:23, Burlingame 2:18* and Leo
Wilkes 2:29|, and one of the few mares that have produced
four standard trotters. The sire of Sable was The Moor, the
sire of Sultan and Beautiful Bells, the greatest of broodmares.
Sable's dam was the great broodmare Gretchen, dam of five
Btandard performers, and Gretchen was sired by Mambrino
Pilot, that had a record of 2:27} under saddle, and was by
the great Mambrino Chief 11. He was not only a producer,
but his soub and daughters also produced speed at the trot.

Guy WilkeB 2:15J, Bire of Sable Wilkes, is one of the
greatest bods of Geo. Wilkes. He has GO in the 2:30 list, the
fastest two being Fred Kohl 2:073 and Hulda 2:08£. Twenty
of his BonB are producers and twelve of hie daughters are the
dams of standard trotters. His dam Lady Bunker, by
Mambrino Patchen, also produced William L., the aire o1"
Axtell. Four of her sons are producing sires and two
have records. So much for the top crosses; now let us look
at Bayswater Wilkes' blood lines on his dam's Bide.

His dam is Fanny Bayswater, a strictly thoroughbred
mare by Bayswater, son of the mighty Lexington and Bay
Leaf, by imported Yorkshire. Fannie Bayswater was bred
by the late David 8. Terry and was mated with trotting bred
stallions. To the cover of Dexter Prince she produced
Senator L., a trotter that won hard races, took a record of
2:23^ aQd since 1894 has held the four mite trotting record of
America 10:12. Fannie Bayswater also proiuced Bayswater
Wilkes (trial 2:20) and sire of Kelly Briggs 2:10V The dam
of Fannie Bayswater was Bessie Sedgwick, by the great four
mile race horee and sire Joe Daniels, out of Minnie Smith by
Starlight, son of Owen Dale, next dam the famous Fannie
Howard by Illinois Mtdoc Bessie Sedgwick was herself the
dam of a standard trotter, she having produced Bessie Thome
2:22$, a good mare that, like Senator L, never found the
route too far or the heats too maoy. It will thns be seen
that Bayswater Wilkes has a wonderful pedigree. Every
trotting hred sire in the above tabulation has a
race record and is a producer. Every trotting bred dam
therein is in the great broodmare list. Every thoroughbred
sire >.iven is the aire of wianera, and every thoroughbred
dan*, is the dam of winners, either runners or trot-
ters as follows: Fannie Bayswater is the dam of
9e> >tor L. 2:231; Bessie Sedgwick is the dam of Bessie
□e2:22J; Bay Leaf is the dam of Bayonet, Baywood,

Preakness and Bayflower, who was the grandam of Bramble
and other good race horses, and Minnie Smith threw winners
of races. The thoroughbred close up in a trotter's pedigree
has been considered a great desideratum by the most success-
ful breeders, and when that thoroughbred blood not only haB
the four mile winning quality but has shown its ability to
produce speed at the trot and a four mile trotting champion,
it is certainly of the very choicest strains. Bayswater Wilkes
is a grand individual in addition to being magnificently bred,
and the first of his produce to be trained having taken a
record of 2:10J in his first race, and stood among the best
money winners of the year, he is indeed one of California s
most promising young sires.

Two Associations Combine.

The Retirement of J. Naglee Burk.

While it is greatly to be deplored that such a prominent
and influential patron of racing as Mr. J. Naglee Burb is to
retire from the list of winning owners and is henceforth to
be only identified as a breeder of high class thoroughbreds,
there is this consolation that seekers after first-claBB money-
winning racing material will have an opportunity of reaping
the golden harvest which he has so successfully sown. The
amcunt of money and time he has devoted to an intelligent
and comprehensive Btudy of the entrancing subject of race-
horse breeding cannot be computed. His library contains
the most valuable books of reference on this subject that
money could buy and the results cf the labor spent in study-
ing these works and putting into practice the theories of the
ablest minds in Europe and America prove that he has Dot
worked in vain. Breeding, individuality and hereditary
soundness were requisites he insisted upon when purchasing
his broodmares, acd the twenty-five descendants of these
matrons which will be led we might say from the saddling
paddock (all ready to race) into the salesring next Thursday
morning, will canse every horseman present to exclaim : (iNo
finer looking ones were ever offered before." There may be
some who will doubt this gentleman's retirement from the
turf when these are cffered; to these we will say that after the
sale, or at any time previous t ereto, all the saddles,
blankets and stable paraphernalia will be sold at low figures
for whatever they will bring.

Such famous race horses as Coda, Giro, Gusto, E^pirando,
Grazia, Gravita, Garbo, Festoso, Fiero, Furia, Dolore, Gliss-
acdo, Fuga, Giacoso, Gaio and nine others unnamed, foals
of 1S98 by such sires as Flambeau (one of these is out of
imp Janet N., hence a full brother to the mighty Crescendo
and horsemen claim his equal in individuality), Drum Major,
one of the handsomest race horseB ever brought to Califor-
nia; he is also "brpd in the purple." His sire was Punster,
the crack two year old of the Middle West, and his dam was
Pearl Tyler, she by Scratch (sire of Helen Scratch, dam of
Braw Scot, Braw Laes, etc.); second dam Mary Minor by
Planet; third dam Nannie Harper, a famous daughter of
imp. Glencoe, etc.; Crescendo by Flambeau, out of Janet
In., one of the greatest horses of his day and his dam is one
of the most famous broodmares in America. Everyone re-
members Crescendo, his career in California fills a large and
important chapter in our turf annals. Brioso is another
race horse and sire represented. He was also by Flambeau
out of By Holly's famous race mare and Cup winner Irish
Lass by imp. Kyrle Daly. These two year olds ark
.heady TO start now ! They are waiting to be ridden up
to the barrier and will catch the judge's eye before their
competitors get within a length of them. They are bred for
speed and staying qualities. The older division includes
Giro, Glissando, Coda, Dolore, Espirando, Furia and others
who are getting inside the money every day; in fact, they are
ready made race horses and a man don't have to wait three
months to get his money out of them. They are sired by
imported Foul Shot, the son of the immortal Bire Musket,
which Mr. Barney Schreiber, Jos. Cairn Simpson and every
horseman who has seen him declares to be one of the finest
formed horses ever landed in America; imported Brutus,
that great 6ire of speed and gameness, Flambeau, Wildidte
imported Cyrus, St. Saviour and Brioso,

The sale Ib attracting a great deal of attention from the
fact that everyone offered is out of a famous race mare and is
bred from the stoutest and speediest lines. After their rac-
ing days are ended they will be invaluable in the stud and
harem.

The sale will take place next Thursday, at the Oakland
race track. Catalogues are issucd and can be obtained at
this office or from the auctioneer, Wm. G. Layng, office 721

Howard street.

■*

An offer of $15,000 is reported to have been refused last
week for the bay filly Nirvana by Directum 2:05^, out of a
daughter of Favorite Wilkes 2:25}. The promising young
trotter is owned by Dr. J. C. McCoy, of Kirkwood, Del.,
who bought and sold Boralma 2:13 on the eve of his winning
race for the Kentucky Futurity last fall. The offer is said
to have come from ThomaB W. Lawsoo, the Boston horse
fancier who bought Boralma from Dr. McCoy for $18,000.
Nirvana finished a close second to Endow when the great
two year old trotted in 2:14;; in the second heat of the race
for the Le ington purse at the Kentucky Breeders meeting-
She is without a record and is looked upon by many horse-
men ae being the best three year old trotter now in sight.

New Yore, Jan. 11. — After thirteen years of hostility
and warfare, which operated to the detriment of each other
and of the trotting-horse interest in general, representatives
of the National Trotting Association and the American Trot-
ting Association signed a treaty of peace at the Murray Hill
hotel to-day, which virtually reunites the two rival organi-
zations, and makes them to all intents and purposes one as-
sociation, with two central offices and two Bets of officials.

This important move on the checkerboard of turf politics
was quite unexpected, as few persons were aware that any
overtures had been made in this direction. According to
the compact which was signed, sealed and delivered to-day,
each association is bound to recognize and enforce all fines
and penalties imposed by the other, the same as if imposed
by its own officials. The treaty of peace also provides, in
effect that hereafter no member of either association can
withdraw from one and join the other body whenever a
difference arises between the members and the great parent
or central organization.

The roll of each association for the year 18P9 is agreed
upon as the permanent basis of membership, and all driving
clubs now on the roll of either the N. T. A. or A. T. A.
must stay there or else become non-association tracKs, for
t.here can be no more shifting as in the times past. There is
nothing in the compact, however, to prevent any driving
club from becoming a member of both, the N. T. A. and
A. T. A.

Although nothing of the sort appears on the surface, it is
said that this last provision grew out of some rather high-
handed and defiant actions on the part of the N. T. A. mem-
ber at Louisville last year. It will be remembered that the
Board of Review of the N. T. A. imposed a fine of $650
against said member in that case of refusing to report and
collect penalties imposed by the judges of the races there
in 1898.

The president, secretary, and all other officials of the
Louisville club were also suspended until they comply with
the ruling of the Board of Review. As matters stood before
the iSew York conference, and before the treaty of peace was
signed, it would have been possible for the Louisville club to
withdraw from the N. T. A. and join the A. T. A. and go on
racing as before. Indeed this was the program which most
horsemen expected to see carried out. Bat some of the high
officials of the A. T. A. as well as the N. T. A., happened to
have a grievance against Louisville, for that club had steppad
in and named the dates belonging to the Terre Haute club,
of which W. P. Ijims, the president of the A. T. A. is the
leading spirit and exclusive head.

In order to avoid a clash with Louisville last year Terre
Haute was compelled to surrender the position in the circuit
which it has held for many yeara and be content with what
was left after the Kentucky club had chosen its dates. There
was hard feeling on account of the episode, and Ijams and
his friends, who control the A. T. A. were not slow, accord-
ing to the gossips, in embracing the present opportunity to
square accounts with Louisville.

Wealth and Heart Both.

The will of D. E. Knight, the Mirysville capitalist, has
been filed for probate in the Superior Court of Yuba county,
and it offerB proof of the fact that occasionally there is to be
found a man of wealth who is also a man of heart. Knight
acquired vast wealth through his connection with large and
varied interests in and about Marysville. His will shows
that he had not forgotten trie labarers, whose toil aided him
in his accumulations, or who performed for him some remem-
bered service.

To the gas-fitter of the Marysville Coal Gas Company, the
Marysville capitalist leaves twenty-five shares of stock in
that corporation; and an equal number of shares to the elec-
tric light workman, and to each of the two firemen; also
twenty-five shares to the secretary of the company. To the
girl who had been employed for several years in his family
he makes a handsome bequest; to thestreet-car diiver on the
Marysville and Yuba Street Railway Company twenty-five
shares of stock in that corporation; and to eaeh of the
Protestant and Catholic relief societies of the town a sub-
stantial legacy.

Some employers regard their men as machines, fiom
whom so much is expected in return for so much pay. The
employe may go ever so far beyond the mere performance of
his duties, and render services prompted, by the highest sen.
timents of loyalty and friendship, but the service is received
with the cold-blouded reflection that that is what the man
is hired for. Once his usefulness begins to show a waning
eign, all his past services, his loyalty and faithfulness are
forgotten.

Knight was a shrewd business man, an exacting employar.
He worked hard himself, and he expected those to whom
he paid salaries to give full return for their pay. But he
also had an appreciation for that class of service for which
mere salaries do not compensate — the kind that comes from
loyal friendship. Such friendship Knight apparently had
formed among the laborers at the gas works and on the car
]ine — aod it must be pleasant to know that he remembered
them in his last will. The incident has an interest outside
the town of Marysville, in proving that wealth does not
always dull the hearts of its possessors to the better senti-
ments of life. — Sacramento Bee.

THE ECLIPSE MALE LINE.

Statistics of 1899 Show It to Be in the
Lead.

The question of the superiority of the male lines of
Eclipse, Herod and Matchem is once more to the fore, if in-
deed, it may be said to have ever been relegated to anything
like the background. However much these discussions may
at times stray from the true path, which I take to be that of
genuine benefit to the^thoroughbred racehorse, they are un-
deniably interesting, Dot to say important, and it certainly
behooves the breeder, owner and general racegoer to keep in
some sort of touch with this, as, in fact, all matters of a
similar nature.

With the English fiat racing season concluded some weeks
since, and with the entire racing on the "tight little isle"
embraced in a comparatively small area and under one con-
trol, its statistics have now been thoroughly compiled. The
tL.il male question shows, as usual, an overwhelming aggre-
gate of winnings for the house of Eclipse.

"Tail male," I may venture to explain for the sake of
some readers to whom the term may perchance be unin-
telligibly technical, implies the tracing of a horse's descent
through the direct line of his Bire's male ancestry until we
reach one of the great trio, Eclipse, Herod and Matchem,
who were respectively foaled in England in 1764, 1753 and
1748. Let me illustrate by a reference to well known Ameri-
can stallions. In the case of Hanover, for instance, his sire,
Hindoo, wrs a son of Virgil, he by Vandal, he by GIencoc»
he by Sultan, he by Selim, he by Buzzard, he by Wood-
pecker, this latter horse being a eon of Herod. Hence, Han-
over (sire of Hamburg, Ben Holladay, etc ) is a "tail male"
descendant of Herod. In the case of Kingstoj, we find his
sire, Spendthrift, to be by Australian, he by West Australian
he by Melbourne, he by Humphrey Clinker, he by ComuB,
he by Sorcerer, he by Trumpator, he by Conductor, this
latter horse being a son of Matchem. Hence, Kirgston (sire
of King's Courier, VulcaiD, etc.) is a "tail male" descendant
of Matchem. In the case of imp. Albert, we find his sire
Albert Victor, to be by Mareyae, he by O/lacdo, he by
Touchstone, he by Camel, he by Whalebone, he by Waxy
he by Pot 8 o's, this latter horse being a son cf Eclipst*
Hence, Albert (sire of Mesmerist, Waribert, etc ) is a "tali
male" descendant of Eclipse.

RESULTS IN ENGLAND.

As I have said, tail male statistics show an overwhelming
aggregate of winnings for Eclipse in England. Oar cousins
have really built up their thoroughbred by persistent patron-
age of Eclipse blood, not only in "tail male," but also in the
general strength of the pedigree. This is beet shown in the
book, "Modern Pedigrees," both of whose authors, "Ant-
werp" and "Lamplightei," I regret to have to a d, have
now gone over to the great majority. Not attempting to
deal at this time with the "Modern Pedigrees" matter, let
us revert to the tail male statistics of the English racing of
1893 as we find them annexed to Bruce Lowe's book. The
results then were:

Winners Races Won Valae

Eclipse "09 1,298 £384,197

Herod - 85 146 33.280

Matchem 41 78 19,116

Total 835 1,522 £436,593

8uch a triumph as this is for Eclipse is beyond all possi-
bility of equivocation. Be it borne in mind that it was no
extraordinary outcome of affairs, bnt the ioevitaple result of
the tenacious adherence to the Eclipse line, which has be-
come so inseparable from the policy of our Eoglish cousioe,
whose breeding policy, as I have so often written, is the very
best extant and should be seriously studied and imitated by
the world at large-
Let us now look at the results for 1899 :

Winners Races Won Value

Eclipse 864 1,464 £434,605

Herod- 61 100 22,327

Matchem 42 74 16.377

Total 967 1,638 £473,309

It takes but a glance to realize that Eclipse is not only
holding his own, but also is actually drawing away some-
what. To analyze the results, it may be noted that ihe great
Eclipse lines of Whalebone are led by Stockwell with
£138,705, while Newminster follows with £102,820. Ster-
ling credits the Whalebone branch with £22,367* In recent
years these three branches have been away in the lead*
Another Richmond took the field in this department in
1899, however, for Whalebone developed a revived and im-
portant strength through the house of Faugb-a-Ballagh
(represented by our own Sensation, Locohatcbee and Riley)
with a total of £24,402, or slightly in excess cf Slerling'e
showing. The Orlando branch earned £13.545, and Rata,
plan scored £7,391, while the revived iMueket line netted
£3,613 for the Tcncbstone branch of Whalebone, and it is
quite likely to do considerably better in futurp. The full
credit of the Whalebone family, I may add, is £318,410, or,
in other words, three-quarters of Eclipse's total.

The Blacklock line jf Eclipse has gained notably since
1893. Then its total was £69,983, while in 1899 it earned
£96,873. Of this amount Galopin and his descendants con'
tributed £73,687, while $23,071 came through the line of
Speculum. The Tramp line of Eclipse has made a sligh
advance, mainly by reason of the winnings of the get of our

own Pontiac, and is credited with $12 897. The Whisker
line of Eclipse netted $6325, of which £3428 was contributed
by the house of King Tom. To tunamarize the strength of
Eclipse the following totals will doubtless serve at a glaoce
as bIbo to more clearly demonstrate the relative deductions:

Wha'ebone „ £318,410

Blactlock _ 96.873

Tramp _ 12,997

Whisker 6,235

The bouse of Herod is, like Eclipse, represented by four
great branches, of which the line of Ion, through Wild Day-
rell, earns £10,737 through Buccaneer, and £1399 through
The Rake. The line of Partisan, through Gladiator, has a
total of £7950, virtually all cf which comes through Sweet-
meat. The line of Diomed, through Lexington, earned
£1129, while Pelim's line earned £711 through Pantaloon
and £399 through Virgil, this latter amount being furnished
by Hindoo's £267 and Hanover's £132. The figure to
Hanover's credit is in atrange contrast to his customary
achievements in America, but it must be borne in mind that
comparatively few of his get have ever raced in Englaod. V-
is true that several of his yearlings were exported by Mr.
Croker in 1895, and on the whole they made a disappointing
showing. One, Roman Chief, won a number of fair races,
however, showing a liking for a distance. The Castrel line*
through Pantaloon, credited Herod with £711.

Matchem's £16,377 was entirely furnished by the Solon
branch, through which alone it still lives. Barcaldine's line
won £8909, Arbitrator's £5150, Young Melbourne's £1818
and Mentmore's £500.

SOME RESULTS IN AMERICA.

Inasmuch as this country has been regarded as the hotbed,
eo to speak, of Hercditm, it may possibly have suggested
itself to many, while readiDg the above, that our results
would reverse the English indications. And this though'
would be especially pardonable in view of the fact that a
Hercd horse, none other than Hanover, led the list of win-
ning sireB for several seasons past. The result, however, is
distinctly in favor of Eclipse, although in hardly so over-
whelming proportion as in England. In 1899, figures not
being attainable, I turn to the previous year. Not attempt-
ing to run out the full results of 1898, 1 have contented my-
self with noting the comparison between the leading stallions.
There were, it appears, thirty-six horses whose get placed
more than $20,000 to the credit of each stallion, and the
aggregate winnings of these stallions amounted to $1,413,080.
Despite the fact that Hanover'B total was $120,094, or over
$30,000 more than his runner up, we find that only four
other Herod horses managed to finish in the $20,000 division,
contributing among them $130,535 to complete Herod's total
of $250,629. As to Matchem's line, only three stallions
qualified in the $20,000 division, their total aggregating
$83,585. As against these figures, we now have to notice
that all the remaining twenty-eight winners of $20,000 or
over traced to Eclipse, their total being the very handsome
sum of $1,008,366. To epitomizs the records of theses
thirty-six leading stallions of 189£, we have only to set the
result out &b follows:

Eclipse

Herod

Matchem-..

..$1,078,366
„ 250,629

83,858

The recordB of our American classic raceB bear out the
Eclipse domination. In working out a tap root table of
twenty-one cf oar classic races for Mr. W. Allison's forth-
coming book, I also calculated the tail male descent of the
winner of each year's renewal. The result :

Eclipse- 290

Herod 129

Matchem _ 37

THOUGHTS OF THE FUTURE.

It would be very easy to make a fdlse decuctions or a serieB
of false deductions from ail this. The principal error would
be to promptly conclude that an Eclipse-line stallion is in-
variably preferable to one tracing to either Herod or
Matchem. It needs no records of mine to prove that such a
deduction would be arrant nonsense. Hanover and Spend-
thrift have abundantly demonstrated the ability cf the Herod
and Matchem rail male lines to keep their heads above
water, so to speak. Hanover having certainly kept his own
very much in evidence, while Spendthrift has furnished us
with a son whose get have in their turn accomplished re-
markable resultB in their first two seasone. Verily a man
would approach the deDth af folly to send his mares to some
comparatively "oo account" Eclipse horse just because he is
an Eclipse, at the same time ignoring some thoroughly
grand horse just because he happens to come from either
Herod or Matchem. In the cases of equal merits as to indi-
viduality it may be well to prefer Eclipse for its own sake.
But no horse who has proven himself to be a bad racehorse
or a failure as a sire is deserving of patronage just because
he is of the male line of Eclipse. The percentage of re-
sults strongly points to Eclipse under equal conditions, bat
not necessarily otherwise.

ThiB is all, of course, with reference to the present aod
immediate future. What the eventual results of another
century will be becomes quite another matter, although,
judging from the past, it is quite likely that in England the
male lines of Herod and Matchem will have virtually ceased
to exist. Eclipse certainly gains ground yearly, and natur-
ally the tendercy is to patronize bis line to the increasing
neglect of the others. I have often wished, however, that

Fucha Herod or Matchem horse as Hanover or Spendthrif
bad been given a chance in Eogland.

No one can pretend that the Eclipse line furnishes a very
great majority of the best sires the world over. Hence it is
all the more regrettable that a Hanover or a spendthrift was
not given a chance in the genuine stronghold of the thor-
oughbred. Of course, all hope of this is now past. Han-
over is gone, and Spendthiift will almost certainly spend
his remaining years here. However strong the numerical
preponderance of Eclipse horses, the Glencoe and Australian
lines of Herod and Matchem are hardly likely to be obliter-
ated from our land daring the lifetime of any reader of this
article, although I have no doubt that the balance of totals
will continue in favor of Eclipse, whose many male lines of
strength necessarily have the very few lines of Herod and
Matcoem at a genuine disadvantage as rtgards actual results

The question seems to sum itself up into the deductions
that the percentage of results is considerably indicative of
Eclipse superiority, and that only in very exceptional caeea
are Herod or Matchem equal to him. And for eventua
purposes it will almost certainty be demonstrated tha
neither is ever his superior. — W. H. Rowe in N. Y . Tele-
graph.

The list of winning owners at the Crescent City Jockey
Club meeting thus far presents many interesting features.
Up to January 6.h no less (ban 133 different interests had a
balance to their credit on the association's books. Some of
them had won only comparatively trifling small amounts, to
be sure, but it shows thai the money is being well distributed.
D. W. Kelly & Co , the Texas firm, are at the head of the
list with a total of $2?35. L V. Bellow is second with
$1981 to bis credit, while J. H. Smith figures third with
$1896. J. J. McCafferty, despite the fact that the majority
of bis string has not been in the best of shape, has succeeded
in annexing $1827. Frank Regan, who usually pulls down
his share of the plums at this meeting, bas hardly struck
his stride yet, but withal that he is not so far behind the
leaders, with $1666. Roland, whose work in the saddle
under the sage guidance of McCafferty has been a revelation,
beads the list of winning jockeys by a comfortable margin.
Mitchell is Boland's nearest competitor, but the former has
had he greater number of mounts, and his work has not
been nearly as good. Wedderstrand, though a poor third on
the list as far as winning mounts are concerned, has im-
proved wonderfully and gives promise of becoming one of
the best lightweight jockeys in the country. Thirty-seven
boys have scored brackets.

The following odds have been posted in the Kentucky
Derby: Lieutenant Gibson, 4 to 1; David Gar rick, 8; Sam
Phillips, 8; Prince of Melbourne, 10; F. W. Brode, 12; War-
ing, McMeekin and Kentucky Farmer, 15 each; His Ex-
cellency, Kentuckv Lamplighter, Edinburgh and the Cham-
ber! fin, 20 each; Flaant, Lew Craft and John Grigsby, 25
each; Thrive, Florizar, Caviar, Highland Lad, Little Smoke,
Strathlight, First Shot and Troxier, 50 each; others from 100
to 200. The long price against David Garrick is laid by
rtason of the fact that it is almost a certainty that he will
not be sent west to compete for the big prize.

The thrilling reports about Keenaa undergoing treatment
for laminitis aod being absolutely oat of the Cup have turned
oat ell moonshine. The horse has been out doing slow work
and although he seemed to be going a bit tender, due, as
current reports now go, to a bruised foot, there was not mach
laminitis about him. He is looking very bright aod well,
and behaved like a gentleman ton the course, a different
state of afiairs to last year. — The Asian.

THE NORTHERN DISTRICT has spruog Phoenix
like from the ashea of lethargy which covered it during
the past few seasons, and is out with an announcement
that the six agricultural associations of Colusa, Willows,
Red Bluff, Chico, Marysville and Woodland have organ-
ized a circuit and have claimed the six weeks beginning
July 23d and closing September 1, 1900. The programs
for all these meetings are to be the same, and each is
to include four nomination purses for the harness horses
of $1000 each. The northern circuit will open at
Colusa and close at Woodland and the meetings will
follow in the order given above. This is the very best
piece of news the Breeder and Sportsman carries
to its readers this week, and will be hailed with delight
by the owners and trainers from Puget Sound to San
Diego. That the Northern District will give a circuit of
racing that will be first class we have no doubt. There
are excellent mile tracks at each place and the counties
wherein they are located are in one of the most pros-
perous sections of the State. Stock, grain and fruit are
the principal products, and some of California's greatest
Block farms are located there. The enterprising officers
of these six districts have come to a realization of the
fact that in union there is strength and the Breeder
and Sportsman predicts that if the programs are
arranged to catch the horses in training on this
Coast, that the entry lists will be very large. Colusa
has never before held anything but a local meeting,
and this fact alone is sufficient evidence to convince
those who have had experience in county fairs that it
will probably have the largest attendance of any place
on the circuit. A district fair will be new to Colusa>
but it is one of the best towns in Northern California
and a prosperous one. The railroad hauls are all short
on this circuit, which will be another attraction to horse
owners; freight bills count very largely in campaigning
expenses. Success to the Northern Circuit, and may the
entries be numerous, the management good, the racing
high class, the attendance large, and each and every dis-
trict have a cash surplus left in its treasury.

"NO MAN should hide his light under a bushel."
Every owner of a well bred stallion owes it as a duty to
his horse to f/,ive him all the publicity possible. Many
a great horse has passed an inglorious career only be-
cause his "penny wise and pound foolish" owner buried
the merits of a good animal in obscurity. Other horses
have become great sires simply because they were exten-
sively advertised and through being talked about and
their names becoming well known secured a better class
of mares and thereby begot great sons and daughters.
The stallion owner is generally a man who is not good
at drumming up business. Many are rich men who
don't realize that it is due the best interests of breeding
and their farms that the merits of their horse be kept
before the reading public, and others forget that every
time the name of their stallion appears in print it adds
to his value and to his chances of greatness. The cheap-
est and best method and one that will accomplish far
reaching results is to advertise in a reputable and well
established turf journal. An advertisement in such a
newspaper is a constant factor that is always adding to
the value of the horse, being read by many people and
kept on file for reference. Every close observer admits
that the prospects are brighter this year than for many
years past and that the market for high class horses is
a rising one and that all horses of quality are now selling
at remunerative prices. Now is the season for breeders
to let the public know what they have and the sooner
they do it the sooner they will fill their books. Stallions
advertised in the Breeder and Sportsman will receive
in the reading columns of the paper a description of the
horse, together with a tabulated pedigree. The Breeder
and Sportsman has every facility for furnishing stallion
posters, tolders and single cards and tabulating pedi-
grees and will do all work of that description at reason-
able prices.

A STALLION by Red Wilkes out of a daughter of
Nut" ood ought to be valuable in the stud especially if
a good individual. One of that description is
. iaed for sale in this issue.

A SALE OF ROADSTERS took place at Chase &
Mendenhall's salesyard last Tuesday which was well at-
tended and aroused quite lively bidding. Prices ranged
from $55 to $160, the majority bringing over $80. Mr,
Albert Joseph paid the highest price, $160, for a gray
pacing mare of unknown breeding that had shown a
mile m about 2:20. The majority of the horses sold
were by Silver Bow, but had never been trained and
were not sold as race horseB. A number of draft horses
brought from $65 to $125. A pair of dapple grayB sold
for $250, a pair of blacks for the same price and a pair
of grays that weighed 3500 sold for $400.

WOODLAND IS IN LINE for 1900, and has already
announced its date for a fair and race meeting. A letter
from Secretary C. F. Thomas to the Breeder and
Sportsman under date of Jan. 25th says: "Kindly
announce in your valuable journal that Woodland will
give a fair and race meeting this year, and that it will
be given on our old date, the week preceding the State
Fair at Sacramento. Liberal purses will be given and
all accorded fair treatment. We hope to see all our old
friends, and to make many new ones."

MR. NAGLEE BTJRK'S HORSES in training which
are to be sold at the Oakland track, Thursday, January
25th, ought to be eagerly snapped up by those who want
ready made racing material. They can win without
having a fortune spent on them and are ready for the
word now. The sale will begin at 11:15 A M. next
Thursday, and all will be sold without reserve. The
blood lines of the youngsters run back through all the
royal families. Wm. G. Layng is the auctioneer.

Pilot Prince will make the season at Napa this year, where
he is well known and his get very popular. He is the sire
of Joe 2:163 and Pilot McClellan 2:22}. We know of several
of his produce that are likely to make low records this year,
which will bring him prominently before the public as a sire.
The breeders of Napa are to be congratulated on having the
serviceB of a horse of this high quality at their command.

A SENSATIONAL STALLION.

Diablo '2:09 1-4, Led All Pacific Coast Stallions
Last Year.

At the close of 1899, Diablo 2-09}, had six new representa-
tives in the 2:30 list, which placed him in the lead of all
Pacific Coast sires of that year, and among this half dozBn
was Clipper 2:09}, the fastest new performer of the season on
the Coast, and N. L. B. 2:21i, the champion two year old
pacer in the United States in 1899 The aloweet of the bix
was Key del Diablo, a two year old that took a record of
2:23} and is confidently expected to put 2:10 opposite his
name before the close of 1900. Dadaelion 2:11, was another
of the green ones that took a low record and he was a winner
in some of the hardest contests of the year, and won over
$1600 on the small California circuit. To say much about
the great merils of Diablo as a Bire, to speak of tbe uniform
good looks of bis progeny and their uniform great speed
seems a waste of time, as all horsemen know that any mare
of the right sort bred to him will produce "something worth
bothering with" something that will repay the small service
fee and the care of feeding and raising it. Diablo is but ten
years old, yet his list of performers contains the names of
nine with records from 2:09} to 2:23}, five being 2:15 per-
formers and the only ones slower than 2:174, 'wo year olds.

Diablo was a sensation on the track. He started first as a
three year old and beat Borne of the best aged horses out that
year getting a record of 2:14} in a race against a big field
which he won in Btraight heats.

The next year he had to meet the crackerjack pacers on
the Coast, but he defeated Ihem in every race in which he
started. His first race that year was at Napa, where he won
in straight heatB, with Loupe 2:09 and Molly Allen behind
him. The next week at Petaluma W. Wood 2:07 and
Plunkett 2:13} were his opponents. He again won in
Btraight heats One week later Diablo met W. Wood
Eclectic and Plunkett at Woodland. The first heat was a
dead one between Diablo and Wood in 2:12}. The second
heat Diablo won in £:09}, at that time the champion four
year old record of tbe world. He won the next two heats
and the race, the time of the third heat being 2:11£, which
proved him to be not only fast but dead game. At the
State Fair Diablo was started in the free for all class, his
antagonists being W. Wood, Our Dick and Plunkett. W.
Wood beat Diablo the first two heats in 2:08*. and 2:09J, but
Diablo was at his throat latch each time and won the third
heat in 2:14*, tbe fourth in 2:11* and the fifth and last as
he pleased in 2:17. This ended his racing that year and
he was not raced in hia five year old form. In 1895, when
he was six years old, he started once, defeating W. Wood et
the State Fair in the free for all in straight heats, the time
being 2:10, 2:12} and 2:16. His racing career was now com-
pleted and it shows an unbroken line of victories.

Let us now take a look at the pedigree of this sensational
horse. He ie by Chas. Derby 2:20, the sire of Much Better
2:07}, Derby Princess 2:08*, Diablo 2:09}, Owyhee 2:11,
Cibolo 2:13*, Derby Lass 2:14, Flare Up 2:14 and five other
2:30 performers. Chas. Derby's sire Steinway 2:25} is the
sire of the champion three year old Klatawah 2:05}, nine
2:15 performerB and thirty-one 2:30 performers. His sire
Strathmore is one of old Hambletonian's greatest sons, being
the sire of nine in the 2:15 list, eigbty-three 2:30 performers
and has thirty producing sons and sixty-five producing
daughters.

The dam of Chas. Derby, Katie G., has five in the list in-
cluding the three year old world's champion. She is by the
great Electioneer, the champion sire of 2:30 speed in the
world, having 156 to his credit and the founder of one of the
greatest trottiDg families.

Bertha, the dam of Diablo, is the dam of four in the list,
viz.: Diablo 2.09}, Elf 2:12*, Ed Lafierty 2:16* and Jay Eff
B., yearling record 2:26*. and two of her sons, Demonio and
Don Derby, will take standard records this year. Bertha is
by the great Alcantara, sire of 130 in 2:30 and still living'
with 26 of them in tbe 2:15 list, and having for a sire the
mighty Geo. Wilkes. Bertha's dam, Barcena, produced one
with a record of 2:11}, and was by Bayard 53, son of Pilot
Jr., and out of a daughter of Blandina by Mambrioo Chief
11, that produced the aires Swigert, King Rene, Abdallah,
Pilot and Solicitor. The whole pedigree of Diablo bristles
with tbe sires and dams of great performers, and contains
the nomes of the greatest: Geo. Wilkes, Electioneer, Alcan-
tara, Strathmore, Mambrino Chief, Mambrino Patchen, Pilot

Watermere, Green Mountain Maid, Dolly Spanker, Abbess,
Alma Mater, Blandina, Katie G , Barcena and Bertha

ing the track in perfect condition. That the horsemen ap-
preciate what has been provided for them is Bhown by the
fact that tea of California's leading harne39 horse trainers
have already taken up their quarters there, and Mr. C. B.
Charlesworth, the popular young Secretary of the corporation,
has received applications from as many more who want to
occupy stalls by the first of February. Three celebrated
stallions are already located there, Direct 2:05£, Diablo 2:09£
and McKinneyi2:llJ, and in all probability there will be
others.

The trainers who are already on the ground with strings of
horses are T. E. Keating, C. A. Durfee, Ed Lafferty, J. M.
Alviso, Millard Sanders, Wm. Murray, H. C. Webster, J.
Sutherland, JameB Thompson, Wm. Cecil, M. J. Turner and
£. L. Breck, and we will state right here in all seriousness,
that the trotters and pacers now occupying stalls there are
the best looking lot of young light harness hor6e8 ever seen
on that historical track. Year after year there has been an
improvement in the looks of the California bred trotters and
pacers, and it iB the universal expression of those who visit
the breeding and training farms that Californians have of
late years been wise enough to breed for eizs, style and looks
as well as speed.

T. E. Keating was absent in 8an Francisco on the day
of our visit, but his efficient assistant John Blue was looking
after the welfare of the members of the string. We saw him
jogging Klatawah 2:05£, the champion three year old of the
world. Kept out of training last year this grand looking
horse looks to bs in perfect form now. He has received no
fast work at all as yet. As he went by, Millard Sanders, than
whom there are few better judges of a race horse, turne-i to
as and said : "Mark down what I tell you: That horse will
beat every pacer in America this year." And as Blue
■topped to let us look him over he added, "Keating says he
is certainly the best one he ever drove." Anaconda is look-
ing big and strong, having recovered all the flesh he lest on
his campaign last year and will be as good as he ever was
and perhaps better. Oae of the new additions to the string
is the Humboldt county horse Eureka 2:15}, by Ira, who will
be given a trial to see whether he is grar.d circuit material
or not. He has not been tried yet but he has raced well in
California, was a good two and three year old and comes
highly recommended. Keating's new purchase Don Derby,
fall brother to Diablo 2:09£, was in his stall nursing a blister
but looks like good giods. Be is only a prospect as yet. A
big bay three year old colt by Chas Derby, out of a Gen.
Benton mare had just arrived from Oikwood Park the day
before and nothing is known of his abilities as yet, but he is
one of the grandest lookers that ever wore a light harness.
It is worth the trip to see that "little black rascal" of the
good old days, Direct 2:05£, taking his regular exercise on
the track hitched to a bike cart. He certainly looks ready to
race and feels like it too. He ought to and will do a heavy
season to some of the best mires in California this year.

C. A. Doreee has just got comfortably located with hia
string, which consists of four old enough to race, and three
youngsters. Clipper 2:093-, bis fast son of Diablo that won
his first race easily last year, paced the fastest mile of the
year in California, excepting of course the Los Angeies
meeting, and then had a Btreak of bad luck, accidents, etc.,
is at least a hundred pounds heavier than he was and can
pace a quarter in 30 seconds right now. He will reduce his
record to the neighborhood of 2:05 sure this year, unless
something happens to him. Mr. Durfee's mare Miss Jessie
2:14 that he has been offering for sale at $1000 when nobody
that had the money was near enough to hear him, is one of
the grandest looking mares in America. She is by Gossiper
ont of Leonor, the grandest young broodmare in California,
she having produced Jennie Mac 2:09, Dr. Book 2:13;; : Miss
Jessie 2:14 and one other. Miss Jessie will be trotted this
year and ought to win in her class. She has a seven montbs
old colt by Mc Kinney that ought to be a worthy successor to
that great horse. One of the best set of legs and feet we
ever saw under a three year old, held np the handsome body
of a filly by McKinney out of Nona Y. 2:20 by Admiral.
She will be seen in the Occident Stake this year in which
eight others by McKinney are paid np on. When the groom
led ont a big three year old colt and Mr. Darfee said, "that's
Ben Liebes by McKinney," our first expression was, "That
fellow is a dead ringer for the pictures of the dude of all
stallions, Mambrino King." He is a wonderfully tall, rangy,
and at the same time handsome colt. His dam was by
.Robert McGregor. He has speed and will be raced this
year. A good looking colt by McKinney out of an Alta-
mont mare that looks as though he will be a fast one is called
Mc8weeney, and in the stall with him was a filly by Mc-
Kinney out of his own daughter. She is coming two years
olds and is built, looks and acts like a trotter, and we will
venture the prediction that this handsome black inbred Miss
will place her name in his 2:15 list within two years. The
champion sire of 2:15 performers of his age, McKinney 2:11},
with eleven in that select list at 12 years, had not arrived in
Pleasanton at the time of our visit, but he will be taken up
therein a few days.

Ed Lafferty, who drove W. Wood to his record of
2:07 and has landed many of the fastest performers in Cali-
fornia first at the wire, has a string of seven at Pleasanton.
Addison, the iron gray or black gelding by James Madison

whose record was reduced to 2:11$ last year, is the only one
among them that has a mark. He is lookiog particularly
well and Ed thinks ought to cut a little off his record this
year. A five yeai old pacer by Guy Wilkes 2:15$ out of
Wanda 2:14 is getting his first lessons and seems to be quite
an apt scholar. He ought to reach 2:15 on h s looks and
go it five seconds belter on his breeding. A three year old
colt by Bay Bird is another that Laflerty should win a race
or two with. He is an extra good looker and fast for a
green one. The others in the string are young, coming three
year olds, but they are members of the royal families. They
are the property of Mr. W. E Lester of this city and are all
fillies. | One is by the great Kremlin 2:07$ and is a high
class one, another is by Baronstein and the third by Allie
Wilkes out of a full sister to Joe Patchen. They are just
broken, but are all very promising.

J. M. Alviso has all his time occupied with ten trotters
and pacers, among which are some excellent prospects for
1900. Rey del Diablo 2:23| as a two year old is now three
and Al says is showing more speed than ever. He is a
very handsome colt, looks and acts like a race horse and wil[
pace in 2:10 this year or Al is going to eat him. Erery
horseman in PleaBanton Bays that if that is Alviso's only
chance to eat meat he might as well make up his mind to
live on a vegetable diet hereafter. Alviso also haa a four
year old gelding by Diablo out of a mare by Don Marvin
hat is a fast green trotter, a four year old filly by Direct
out of Roata A. 2:14$ that can pace a quarter in 34 seconds,
a chestnut filly by Directum out of a mare by Piedmont and
a full sister five years old that are all very promising. The
two last named belong to the estate of Thos. Green of Dublin-
There are five others under Alviso's charge belonging to
Mr. Juan Galiesos of Mission San Jose. A three year old
gelding by Diablo out of a mare by Nutwood is one of the
grandest looking young trot'erB we have seen in e year and
he is good gaited and fast. A bay gelding also by Diablo,
and the eame age, out of a grand daughter of A. W. Rich-
mond, is also very handsome and also a trotter. A bix year
old gelding by Soudan, a mare ol the same age by Dalton
Moultrie, both trotters, and a four year old pacer by Direct
complete this string.

Millard Sanders, whose reputation as a speed maker is
as wide as the continent, has a string of ten that carry 8B big
an average of good looks and choice blood as any ten young*
Bters that can be collected from any one State io the Union,
Eight are from the celebrated Oakwood Park Farm. There
aie full sisters to Derby Princes3 2:08£, Agitato 2:09, and
Derby Lass 2:14, and a fall brother to Klatawah 2:05£ that
is a high acting trotter and one that will get a low record at
that gait. "This sister to Derby Princess, " said Mr. Sanders
as he dismounted from the sulky after giving the filly her
work, "needs company to bring out her speed. She acts and
moves very much like her much traveled sister, and gives
more promise than she did at the same age. That sister to
Agitato is a square trotter and has already shown me a quar-
ter in 37 seconds. I like her won erfolly well. I'd like to
name that brother to Klatawah. I'd call him Hyac Klsta"
wah which in the Chinook is superlative of Klatawah which
means 'Get away fast.' He has already trotted me a quarter
in 38 seconds with no work and without being urged in the
least. That four year old McKinney filly is trotting a 20
gait already. She'll do to a certainty, and I believe this
sister to Too Soon by Direct is a high class one. Of course
I have not tried to get any speed out of these colts yet, as
they have had no work and it is too early but J never had as
promising a lot together and as you know I have trained
some pretty fair strings in my time. I don't think there is
one in the lot but could beat 40 seconds for a quarter if taken
oat the stall right now and asked to do it. And, by the way,
I got a letter from Chas. Tanner at Cleveland the other day
and he says the supply of matinee and race trotters is ex-
hausted, but that pacers are in fair supply." Mr. Sanders
certainly has a grand looking lot of youngsters, and we were
pleased to see so many promising trotters among them.

Fred Webster has the Iargebt string at the track and Mr.
Chas. Griffith, their owner, ought to be and doubtless is
proud of their looks and condition and satisfied with their
prospects. The handsome four year old by Direct ont of
Bon Bon by Simmons, that paced a workout mile in 2:13 and
the last half in 1:02$ last year in his three year old form
with a dozen reliable men holding watches on him, is, of
conrse, the star of the lot, and there is more than one of
the horsemen at the track who think be is a two-minute
pacer sure. He is a handsome black fellow, good size, with
lots of quality and legs like a thoroughbred, clean, flat bone
and wonderfully muscled. He will be raced this year.
Many have asked the privilege of breeding to him, but al]
were refused, as Mr. Griffith desires to give the colt every
chance for a low record before retiring him to the stud. He
has not been moved any beyond a jog this year. Rect 2:16£(
by Direct out of Lily Stanley 2:17£, is going to be tried
again. That be is a wonderfully fast trotter there is no
doubt, and if his leg stands, his record will certainly be re-
duced. It was fired last year and the veterioary has pro-
nounced it capable of standing race work. There are three
two year olds by Rect in the string, one oat of Bon Bon, one
out of a daughter of Gen. Benton and another out of a mare
by Robert McGregor. After looking them over one cannot
help thinking it a misfortune that Rect was gelded. He

would have made a great slock horse, as he h a good looker
himself and these colts all look like him. They are all
pacers and worth working. Sharkey is the stable name given
a four year old son of Direct and a mare by Nutwood that
John Blue says is a pretty good ringer for Ed Geers' $10,000
colt Hal Direct. He is a glutton for work aod showed lots
of speed last year. Mr. Webster has two Diablo three year
olds— one out of a mare by William L., second dam by Rob-
ert McGregor and third dam tte dam of Nancy Hanks,
The other is out of a mare by AbdallaL Pilot. He is email
for a Diablo, and though only hitched up a few timeB can
run away on the Equarest trot one ever saw. Corona 2:27£
by Direct is in perfect order to get a faster record this year,
and if she is steady she is fast enough to go in 2:10. Mr
Webster's string will be seen on the California circuit thig
year.

William Murray led out his great young stallion Diablo
2:09J, and has him in good shape for the heavy season he is
certain to do. "Bill" is one of the beet men with a horse
there is in the State. They all seem to know just what he
wants them to do and try to do it. Diablo obeys him as well
as a well trained dog does his master. The reader will find
an extended notice of Diablo on another page of this issue.
Murray has a chestnut filly, tbree years old by him that
has just been broke two months aod pulled him in a cart a
mile in 2:36 last week. She is a pacer. There is another in
his string, a two year old colt out of a mare by Cropsy'a
Nutwood that iB very promising for a youngster. He has
been working a very handsome gelding by Diablo, oat of a
mustang mare that shows what good looking horses Diablo is
Biring. Murray will not have a large string as his lime will
be taken up with his stallion.

William Cecil has ten from the Nutwood Stock Farm'
all by Martin Carter's great stallion Nutwood Wilkes 2:16$.
There is not one in the string with a record, and the pacer
irvington Boy is the only one that ever started in a race.
He was out last year as a three year old and could pace inside
of 2:20, bat was unfortunate and did not win a heat, though
he earned $655 as his share of the purses. He is going now
without hopples and Cecil thinks he will go in 2:10 or better
this year. Georgie B , a mare that trialed in 2:28 two years
ago, is now five and 2:12 won't stop her. She is aleo a pacer*
Cecil has two favorites, one he calls Bob iDgereoll is a four
year old out of Lou G., dam of Who Is She 2:25 and Fred
Wilkes 2:26£ by Albert W. the other a two year old out of a
mare by Director, next dam Lida W. 2:18J the d^m of Na'.-
wood Wilkes, thus Lida W. is the colt's grandam on both
sides. This fellow is entered in some of the big Eastern
stakes for next year and Cecil thinks he has a good claim on
a big portion of the money already. A fell sister to Central
Girl 2:22J is another promising two year old, and several
others that are good looking young horses and every one
haB shown racing speed. This string was not selected for
training, but comprises all that were in the pastures last
year at Nutwood Farm and are old enough to work. It is
astonishing how tbey all show Epeed, but then the Nutwood
Wilkes all do that.

James Thompson, who first brought out Little Thome
2:09|, has this game little pacer at Pleasanton. He is in
good flesh, looks strong and robust and will be a good money
winner again this vear if he is campaigned. Mr. Thomp-
son haB the mare Monica by McKinney 2:1 1 J and a five
year old gelding by the same horse that are both excellent
prospects. Monica will be another 2:15 performei for Mc-
Kinney sure, if she remains right. Mr. Thompson will
have four or five new ones in his strirg in a few days and
said: "Come up anout the middle of February and I'll show
you some speed."

James Sutherland has made another ten strike. He
sold his old farm some montbs ago for $22,000 and purchased
60 acres for $9000 just adjoining Pleasanton track, whereon
he immediately laid out and graded a perfect half mile track,
built a neat dwelling, and the best arranged barn of box stalls
we ever saw. He had about a dczen colts and aged horses in
them and was getting ready to open his speed school in
earnest, when along came a representative of the Spring
Valley Water Company and told him the company wanted
the land for its water privileges. Mr Sutherland said $25,-
000 was the price, and it was paid to him forthwith. He
eayB be haB got enough now to keep him atd the good wife
the rest of their days and every person that knows Jim
Sutherland is glad of bis good fortune. He will move the
horses to the Pleasanton track and work them. He haB
Charley G , a trotter by Direct, a brown filly by Diablo out
of a Delwio mare, a four year old full sister to Directly
2:03}, a brown gelding by FalroFe, a tbree year old fitly by
McKinney out of toe dam of Prince C , Solo 2:23 by Mc-
Kinney, the stallion Guard 2:22£ by Guide, a four year old
filly by Direct and Harry Hurst by Delwin. They are a
very promising lot, all but Guard being intended for the
races this year.

E. L. Breck, of Bodie, has a colt by Nutwood Wilkes
2:16$, out of a Naubue mare at tbe Pleasanton track that is
a very handaome young horse and a good prospect for 1900.
He has just begun on him and likes him very much.

M. J. Turner, one of tbe old enard, is working a bay
gelding by a son of Nutwood that attracts the attention of
everybody that visits the track. He has very high action,
but has trotted tbe track better than 2:30 and is as bands-- me
as a picture. If Turner bad him in New York tbe dealers
would be after him, and when tbey secured him would chop
his tail ofl and make a $2000 trotting bred hackney out of
him in short order. Mr. Turner thinks the gelding will trot
better than 2:20 this year.

Thos. B. Murphy is not training any horses at the track,
but he is there Saturdays and Sundays plating them so they
can be trained Murphy is building up a big business at his
new shop on Golden Gate avenue in this city and between it
and his Pleasanton forge be is working abont'eight days in
tbe week.

Several new stallion ads this week.

Bates for pasturage have been materially reduced.

Free Hanet is training a half dozen horses at the Modesto
track.

Quarter Cousin holds the Rasa ian trotting record o

There are already about seventy-five horses in training at
Fleasanton.

Azote 2:04J weighs 1280 pounds and never looked so well
as this winter.

Our Jack 2:13s by Steinway has been 6old by W- J.
Irvine of Sacramento to W. C. Christie of Kansas City,
Richard Bejson, the well known trainer, who is sctiDg for
Mr. Christie, says that he will probably have Oar Jack
docked and sell him for a park horBe. He is a very high
actor and has lots of style and good looks. He was bred at
the Oakwood Park Stock Farm.

It is said by a writer of speedway gossip for a New York
dailv that when Robert J. aod John R. Gentry met recently
on Riverside Drive it was at once apparent to close observers
that the old friends and stable male?, who traveled thousands
of miles together in 1897, recognized each other immediately.
The intelligence of the high bred horse is often more acute
than even his admirers accredit.

The beginning of 1900 finds two trotters in *he 2:04 list —
Alix 2:03|, aod Nancy Hanks 2:04 — while an even dozen
pacers have marks against their names as follows: Star
Pointer 1:59}. John R Gentry 2:004, Joe Patchen 2:01},

Hoppled horses will probably be abolished from the New
York speedway,

Peter the Great 2:07} will be trained after June 1st.
The chances are that Bingen 2:06} will not be seen in public
this season.

Woodland claims the week just preceding the State Fair
for its meeting this year. A first class fair and race meeting
will be held.

T. E Keating and James Thompson were over at Oak-
wood Stocfc Farm this week looking at the many good young
horses there.

The Diablo colts and fillies at the Pleasantou track are &
grand looking lot of youngsters. No stallion in California
has sired more uniform good looks.

A distinguished feature of the pedigree of Bayswater
Wilkes, sise of Kelly Briggs 2:104, is that his first and second
dams are not only producers of standard trotters but are
Btrictlv thoroughbred mares, registered in the American
Stud Book. Fanny Bayswater his first dam, produced
Senator L 2:23}, four mile record 10:12, and Bessie Sedg-
wick, his second dam produced Bessie Thorne 2:22}.

When Splan bought Col. Kuser for 2:11} for Mrs. Mc-
Phee he paid about Jo1. 00 for the son of Stranger, and on the
European turf this trotter has won $40,000.

H. S. Hogoboom has a five year old Diablo that is said to
be the fastest trotter on the Sacramento track. Mr. Hogo-
boom will have him out in the green classes this year.

Andy McDowell has twelve horses in training at Park-
ville Farm- One of the colts which he will train for J. H.
Shults is Oro Wood, a three year old by Oro Wilkes 2:11,
out of the dam of Fred Kohl 2:07|.

Columbia is the name claimed for a yearling filly by
Clipper 2:09$, owned by Geo. C. Petermann of Mt. Eden,
California. Clipper is now a gelding, but was bred to several
mares when a two and three year old.

Nine trotters hold harness records better than 2:07, viz.:
Aiix 2:03f, Nancy Hanks 2:04, Azote 2:04i, Directum 2:05},
Fantasy 2:06, Baozttta 2:06f and Ralpn Wilkes 2:0b|.
Three of tDis number took their records as four year olds.

side and watch the prospective campaigners taking their

Geo. W. Ford writes us that Neeretta 2:11} will be raced
in California if there are races enough for the 2:12 class.
Otherwise she will be taken East, and go down the line of
the Grand Circuit. She is in perfect health and as sound as
a new dollar.

Secretary C. M. Jewett, of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association, says that for the Grand Circuit
meeting this year nis association will likely increase the
Massachusetts Stake to $20,000, and, of course, make it an
early closing event.

Barney Demaeest has gold the bay gelding Iago 2:11 by
Tempest, dam Eulogy by Commodore Belmont, to F. W.
Sawyer, of Derbv, Ct., for $700. He will be used as a mati-
nee horse. Iago was sold at Cleveland in May, 1898, for
$3000, but he is gettiog along in years.

Ed GEEbS, who sold Direct Hal for $10(000,"still owns his
dam, Beesie Hal, and she is in foal again to Direct. She is
also the dam of a filly by McEwen 2:1S£, a filly by Brown
Hal and a colt by Sky Pointer. Mr Geers says he will
breed her next spring to Heir-at-Law 2:05|

Knap McCarthy who recently looked Searchlight care-
fully over says be never saw the horse looking better or go
lDg belter. He is jogged every day by Ed Mills, of Boston,
who bought him fjr Mr. Bronson, and is moving as smooth
and easy as he ever did. Knap thinks he will be able to
beat two minutes next season, sure.

Superintendent F. W. Covey says there will probably
be a chaoge in the order of business at Palo A. I to next year,
and that there will be but one annual eastern sale, this to
consist of four or five carloads. In Mav about fifty head
will be placed in trailing for the sale of 1901. so that nearly
a year will be given to developing them.

A fair and race meeting will be held in Tulare this fall.
The Board of Directors of the Twenty-Fourth Agricultural
District held a meeting in that city last Tuesday and so de-
cided. Mr. E. A. Miot was elected Secretary for the coming
year, and committees were appointed to begin work imme-
diately and push the milter to a successful conclusion. The
district is composed of the counties of Kings and Tulare.

John Wells, a stockman of Oregon, went to Los ADgeles
four weeks ago with a carload of fine Oregon mules of his
raising. He sold the mules to Mr. Shearer-of Los Angeles,
and delivered tbem at Elwood, 150 miles north of the orange
city. Mr. Wells then returned to Los Angeles to dispose of
a carload of horses recently shipped there by Spratt Wells,
his Bon. For his carload of mules Mr. Wells received $60
per head.

For the Occident Stake of 1902, Rancho del Paso has
made the largest number of entries of any one farm, 11 colts
and fillies being named Santa Rosa Stock Farm is 'next
with sis, Oakwood Park Stock Farm has 6ve, Palo Alto
Stock Farm, the late D. E. Knight of Marysville, Alex.
Brown of Walnut Grove, H. W. Meek of HaywardB and
Aptos Stock Farm each made., four entries. The 94 entries
represent 51 owners.

"Dick" Benson, will probably take Waldo J. 2:08, to
Kansas City with him when he leaves for home next week.
Mr. Beuson looked him over the other day, liked him. and
the price was satisfactory. If the gray ehost of Santa Paula
meets with no accidents he will show the way around the
track to some of the verv fast ones this year. Bodd Doble
eajs Waldo J. will be in good hands, as there are no better
trainers than Mr. BenBon.

Mr. W. J. Harris, the wealthy mine owner of Spokane,
Washington, greatly regrets losing the colt by McKinney
2:11} out of the dam of Klamath, but is consoled somewhat
by tbe fBct that the old mare is heavy with foal to the Bame
horse and he has already booked her to him for the season
of 1900. The colt that met an accidental death was as near
a perfect individual as any colt of the same age that was ever
foaled, is the verdict of all who saw him.

Five thousand citizens of Philadelphia, prominent in
every walk of life, among them A. J. Cassett, Colonel A.
Louden Snowden, ex-minister to Greece, George A. Singerly,
J. Fred Betz, Colonel William A. Bunn and Frank Bower,
have signed a petition asking the city officials to build a
speedway in Fairmoant Park. Tbe city authorities favor
the project, but a State law which limits the speed of horee3
within the city limits to seven miles an hour stands in the
way. The incoming Legislature will be asked by 20,000
horsemen to repeal that law so far as speedways are concerned,
and there is little doubt of the result.

The get of McEinney 2:11}, seem to have a mortgage on

tbe Stanford and Occident Slakes to he trotted this year at

the California Stale Fair. In the former seven oat of tbe

aty-two colts or fillies still eligible were sired by that

There are a good many trainers of the present day who
practice the Geers' method of workouts, four to six slow
heats and a "blow out" mile in Blow time later. This is
probably a necessity to get the horses ia first class condition
for racing on the big tracks. It is likely not a necessity with
all horses, and in fact, any arbitrary rule of training is a
dangeroas one to follow, since no two horses are exactly
alike in disposition, in stamina, in quality, and it is an open
question if the methods which lead to a survival of the
fittest are invariably the best or most profitable. No trainer
who is alert and up to date works his horses in tbe early
morning hours, by this I mean their fast work. If the race
comes off on a hot, sultry day horses worked in such a man-
ner will most likely "wilt down" at the critical point of the
race.

The first of the progeny of the great voung stallion
Searchlieht 2:03}, arrived at C. L. Crellin's Ruby Hill
Farm near Pleasantou, on January 3, 1900. It is a colt, is
the same color and bears nearly the identical markings of
his illustrious sire. Mr. Crellio could not remember the
breeding of tbe dam when he gave tbe news to the Breeder
and Sportsman's representative, but Bays she has a three
year old by Diablo 2:09} that shows lots of speed, though
she haB not been thoroughly broken yet. The little son of
Searchlight was a pacer as Bnon as he could stand up and has
never struck anv other gait since. Mr. Crellin says bis
name is Search Warrant and he has the right thereby to go
anywhere and he expects he will march inside the two-
minute mark when he gels old enough and r*eady. Here's lo
Search Warrant, and his owner. May their shadows never
grow less, but may the colt be fast enough to get away from
his.

The good stallion Expedition 2:15|, by Electioneer, (dam
Lady Russell, 1b still owned at Woodburn Farm, says the
American Stock Farm. He was sold at the Woodard &
Shanklin sale to Mr. J. H. Thayer, bat as that gentleman
wanted to train him and he had developed a slight lameneSB,
he declined to take hira and Expedition was returned to
Woodburn. Whether he will be in the stud the coming
season or not is not knowD, but if he does he will make the
seventeenth of the sons and grandsons of the Hero of Palo
Alto that will do stud duty in that State. It looks as if Ken-
tucky will in the near future have plenty of the Wilkes and
Electioneer blood with which to Bupply their friendB, as
there are about fifty of the male descendants of George
Wilkes scattered throughout the Blue Grass.

In some respects Lucille 2:09J is one of the most remark-
able trotters ever seen. She was bred by a farmer and was
broken as a three year old, but not being of great promise
was put to breeding and kept at that fcr three seasons, pro-
ducing her last foal in 1898. Last spring Amos Rathbun,
of Glens FallB, took her to race on shares. The mare waB
used to do the work of spring planting and was not delivered
at Glens Falls until June 10, 1868, and her career as a
trotter began the following day, when she was hooked to a
cart and jogged. About the middle of August she showed a
mile in 2:18 It was not, however, until the mare reached
Louisville and Lexington that her full worth became known
to the public. She won two races at Louisville and one at
Lexington, in which she went three faster consecutive heats
than any ereen trotter has ever gone. The time was 2:10},
2:09f, 2:10}. Later, after she was Bold to C. G. K. Billings
of Chicago, she beat every trotter she met on the New York
speedway and all were out but Cobwebs. Lucille iB a dark
bay, standing 15 hands ■} inch high. She is a line trotter and
an exceedingly long strider, but trappy gaited. Lucille is by
Brammel, a son of Epaulet, and out of Fanny K. 2:21} by
Major Benton.

Dr. E. J. Weldon, of Sacramento, who owns and drove
the brown filly Elevator in the Stanford Stake at the State
Fair last year, finishing third in the summary, will make an-
other appeal to the Board of Review, and has engaged Mr.
C. A. Willis, now of Sacramento, but formerly of New York,
as his counsel. .The case is an interesting one. It will be
remembered that Direct Heir finished second in the race, and
was protested by Dr. Weldon as not eligible, having once
been declared out and payments stopped on him by his
owner, Mrs. Severance, of Los Angeles. Dr. Weldon's pro
test was sustained by the Board of Review which placed his
filly second in the summary and supposedly entitled to second
money. Here arose another complication, however. Dr.
Frasse's Sister, the winner of each heat, was also a protested
horse, and the rules say that in any heat which a protested
horse shall win, distance shall be waived. It is held by the
association that the distance flsg was used, however, and the
distance horses noted on the book that they might be declared
bo if the protest against Dr. Frasse failed, This protest did
fail and the association claims that the waiving of distance
did not apply and the horses must stand as shown on the
Judge's book. Drt I Weldon insists that Elevator was not
outside the flag in any heat, and the decision of the question
will hinge upon the fact whether or not Elevator was de-
clared distanced.

The track of the Chicago Driving club, which was built
last season, is one of the finest in or about Chicago. It was
completed last summer, but inclement weather prevented its
opening before October, when more exciting races were
offered to the public than were ever seen in the city pre-
viously. Expert judges of matters of this kind admit i hat it
is the finest half-mile speedway in the country, and probably
in the world. It was planned by Seth Griffith, who haB a
great reputation as a track builder, and the turns are as fast
as the stretches. Already about $15,000 has been expended
on the track, stable?, judges' stand, sulky room, etc. A
modern grand stand iB to be erected and latter a fine club
house will be built- An artesian well furnishes a copious
suprly of sulphur water in front of each stall. They now
have room for 100 horses and stalls are being engaged daily
by some of our best owners and trainers. Willard Cave,
Dick McMahoD, who gave Jersey Mac his record last year,
Sam Halls, and George CaBtle will undoubtedly train there
the coming season. It is also highly probable that Mr.
Marks, the owner of Joe Patchen, Mr. Streeter, Mr. Newgass
and others will have horses at the new track. It is located
within easy visiting distance of the down town-districts of
the city, being at Central avenue and Twelfth street; no
tioubleneed be experienced in reaching it. The Twelfth
street cars run to the main entrauce, and the Metropolitan
elevated will, during the comisg season, run direct to the
grounds.

" Iconoclast " in a recent article sayB: "It had been
discovered years ago lhat the pacer bad the speed to go in
two minutes, as Westmont had done with a running mate.
But whether he could carry such a clip for a mile drawing a
sulky and driver was the question. This is happily settled
and the next problem is to find others that can do the same
thing besides Star Pointer. I feel very confident that it
will be done, and it would not at all surprise me if it should
be done next year.'' It seems that experts fail to agree on
this point, as on many another. " Trot wood " of the Horse
Review, writing on the same subject says: "There will be
more or less talk of this kind indulged in for years to come,
but the fact will be that Pointer's record will stand for many
years. Only one kind of a horse is ever going to break it.
First, he most be a big horse. It takes a certain extent of
Btride to pace in two minutes, everything else being equal.
There are many little horses that can. pace faster than big
horses. There is a limit to the number of strides any horse
can take in a second. Therefore, if the number of strides
be equal, the time of delivery the same, and horses are of
equal gameoess, the larger horBe with the longer stride will
pace the fasier. The only horse that ever was a serious
rival to Star Pointer 1:59} waB Joe Patchen, a horse of the
same mould physically. Gentrv and Robert J. both paced
beyond the limit of little horses, and Gentry's 2:00£ was as
great a heat for him as 1:59} would be for a larger horse."
However this may apply to pacers, it does not hold good
with trotters, for both Alix 2:03$, the holder of the world's
record, and Nancy Hanks, the ex-queen of the trotting turf,
and whose record is 2:04, are what may be called small
horses, as is Directum 2:05}, the stallion king, and with all
the large horses on tbe trotting turf their supremacy bas
never been seriously threatened.

A PLEA FOR PROGRESS.

The California Trotting Oiroutt of 1900 and Its
Prospects.

Since the close of the harness racing season of 1899 the
question has been repeatedly asked what are the prospects
for 1900? If the signs of the times are any indication in
this particular, harness racing in California will reach a
merited and much neeeed "boom." Not in many years has
there been such a feeling cf enthusiasm..

With the beginning of the twentieth century we may sag"
gest to the owners and trainers of horses and colts about to
be worked, either for racing purposes or for the market, that
not in years has there been such a bright prospect in either
field. For good and promising well bred colts, either trotters
or pacers, the owner can find a ready market at prices above
the average, and it is to be feared the supply is not equal to
the demand. The prospective racirjg season in California
has not been so bright for years as it is this present year.
This may be attributed to the fact that many of the district
associations of the State gave no fair or race meetings for
several years in consequence of not receiving State appropri-
ations, but this having been granted the number of fairs
will be greatly augmented this year. The midland counties
of the State, containing the richest and most fertile land,
and the farming, mining and fruit growing industries of
these prolific districts will materially add to the present
prospect of a successful season for the light harness brigade.

California, great already in its production of speed , should
be one of the first States in the Union to foster and protect
this great industry. Here in this laud of born champions,
both trotters and pacers, the sport should dominate in the
minds of those whose love for the equine celebrity excels
and to these we look for the perpetuation and protection of
the breeding ot the trotting horse.

We are on the dawn of a prosperous era; the dull times
that blighted the past, that dark cloud that bung over the
horizon, is fast fading from our view, and instead we find the
mercantile, commercial, as well as the farming and other in-
terests of equal importance, assuming a healthy and pros-
perous condition.

The farmers, ill at ease through a succession of bad years,
is now beginning to realize a new lease of life in his chosen
industry. The opening of an auspicious season dawns be-
fore him and he realizes that the day of prosperity is at
hand and he feels with that depression which he had to con-
tend with for years consigned to the past he can now engage
in any pursuit commensurate with his taste.

Witb this we may suggest that the breeding of the trotting
horse, which was at one time of vital importance, may again
be brought into action and the prices realized make the same
a profitable investment.

Prices for horses of good breeding and quality were never
higher than at the present time, and it is remarkable that
the supply is not equal to the demand.

We fine at the present time a woeful scarcity of the very
useful breed, the carriage horse. This hae led to the belief
that in this line no more profitable industry could be com-
menced than the bleeding, raising and developing of this
kind of stock.

Digressing a little from the subject under consideration
I simply allude to the above to show that the great demand
for such horses would in itself be an incentive to the breeder
to try and produce this valuable kind, for if not developing
sufficient speed for racing purposes they certainly will be
valuable in the class we have just described.

We find from a cursory examination of the prospects for
1900 in California and Oregon, or in other words the
Pacific States, that the outlook for good and meritorious rac-
ing has not been bo good for years.

The districts that like Rip Van Winkle have been asleep
for years are now awake and acting in unison with the never
faltering ones, and with the opening of spring and the ad-
vent of summer we may expect to see a season ot harness
events never eclipsed in the annals of the trotting turf on the
Pacific Coast.

And why should it not be so? Here we raise and produce
the best and it is only due to the lethargy of those in whose
power it was to prevent it that the choicest and best of our
native product should be taken to other states there to estab-
lish their prowess for the edification of other people and the
pecuniary gain of their owners.

Let the public spirited lovers of California bred trotters
awake and make our State the great center of attraction and
with our local pride establish the fact that we can ap-
preciate our native product by inducements of ^pleasure and
profit as well.

To accomplish this end we mast begin by restoring im-
plicit confidence. Changes of a radical nature must be in-
augurated and with the opening of the present season new
ideas oiust be advanced, and the old and fossilized ones con-
signed to oblivion.

The various districts having in contemplation the giving
of fairs and meetings should first confer and calmly deliber-
ate as to the best means to advance the best results and to
this end let the presidents and secretaries of the various dis-
trict organizations call a convention in the very near future,
say the first week in February, in some central location, say
in San Francisco, appoint the proper committees, formulate

a district or districts of racing circuits without cojflicting the
one with the other. Reorganize the whole system of con-
ducting these fairs and race meetings, being careful at the
same time to place the management in capable and progres-
sive hands. While having all respect imaginable for the
"honorable old gentleman" who have heretofore officiated in
the various capacities of judge and starter let us in the name
of all that is good thank him for all that he has done in the
past and assign him to the more peaceful position of inter-
ested and honorable spectator.

Young and progressive ideas must prevail if we expect to
insure success. Our State has long Buffered from the ills to
which I have referred and the sooner these ar j remedied the
better for all concerned. The barriers to success must be
removed and in their stead we must erect a system that will
give strength to and confidence in all our enterprises, and
thereby fortify every undertaking with all the surrounding
elements of business sagacity. The banker, the merchant,
the man of business affairs in the world will have none but
competent men at toe head of their particular affairs,
consequently their business is successful. When these
men are not competent we note a signal failure; bo it is
in the management of district fairs and race meetings.
When competent men are in charge success is assured, but
when incompetent we find their undertaking a dismal failure,

1 reiterate the necessity of practical men at the helm of all
associations if the best results are to be obtained. This can
only be accomplished by the employment of skilled men of
practical experience to the position of starter and presiding
eudge of undoubted character and ability in which the
public will have confidence, whose standing is above re-
proach and whose decisions in all instances appertaining to
the rules will give general satisfaction. It is for this reason
alone I advocate the services of such men; it is for this rea-
son and none other that we seek to combine all elements to
the end that such a one be employed throughout the Eastern
circuit. Competent men can be had for comparatively small
fee and when the announcement is made that Mr. Sj-and-So
is employed as judge and starter a new and enthusiastic feel-
ing will permeate the entire commnnity, confidence receive a
fresh impetus and California once more may enjoy its former
prestige amongst the greatest harness racing centers of the
American Continent.

I give these matters for the careful consideration of the
sport loving community in which your valuable journal is read
having been a painful witness to some of the abuses to which
I have referred it is my honest and disinterested ambition at
the commencement of this auspicious season to have them
corrected and I am confident that all fair minded men will
agree with me in the suggestions I have offered.

With a competent stranger as a starter and presiding
judge confidence will again be restored and the public be
more anxious to patronize the meeting. They expect prompt
and excellent work in the judges stand, no bungling annoy-
ances allowed but every effort made to please and satisfy the
general public.

California can give at least sixteen weeks of good harness
racing within its midland circuit, traveling expenses can be
minimized by active co-operation, and railways will not be
indifferent to the legitimate requirements of its patrons in
this particular.

Let uq realize the achievement of the above suggestions
and there remains but one other matter to make harness rac-
ing on this Coast all that we desire, and that is the system of
betting allowed. There is one that is universally con-
demned, and thai is bookmaking. Without an insurmount-
able barrier being placed against this system all our ener-
gies in favor of clean racing will come to naught. There
should be no place on the trotting track for bookmaking and
all true lovers of harness racing should see to it that no such
system contaminates its grounds.

While there are many men of "Home Manufacture" bo to
speak, who may be capable of discharging the duties of
judge and starter it must be admitted that in every district
there is found to be Borne favoritism shown from time to
time, and this in itself goes to show the absoulte necessity of
the paid judge.

Here in California we produce the greatest of race horses-
why should we not then have great racing? Our climate is
the best in the world for developing early speed ; horses can
be trained at all seasons of the year, then why not develop
the best here and make California the best market in the
world for the trotting horse.

California horses have a destiny before them. We produce
the greatest, but there is an old adage, "The prophet is never
honored in bis own land." Let us, as Californians, take a just
pride in our product; let us make a united effort to retain
within our own domain that which we produce by giving to
owner and trainer adequate inducements to stay with us.
Let us give good purses with meetings ably and judiciously
managed, and above all without any corrupting influences or
entangling alliances. Let the competent judge and starter be
employed and California will again enjoy the long-wished-for-
millenium — honest racing conducted by competent and
honorable men.

j The number of horses in training at present in California
Ub unprecedentally large, never in its history could harness
gracing be given such ao impetus. Let us not disappoint these
fiprospective participants in this our natural pleasure. Let
flue infuse a new and lively character to our programs and

when the sun sets on the last meeting of 1900 let it be said that
California had the best and most successful meetings in the
history of the State. This can only be accomplished by the
concerted action of all. Let us work together for the com.
mou good of all, and make the racing season of the current
year eojoyable as well as profitable to all or almost all of
those who contributed to its success T. J. C.

Agreement.

Whereas, The National Trotting Association and The
American Trotting Association believing it to be to the beat
interest of the breeding and trotting interest of the entire
country that the two Associations act in harmony in the
government of races, and all contingent matters pertaining
thereto, it is therefore,

Resolved, That all fines or other penalties imposed by either
parent association shall be recognized and enforced by the
other parent association through its members and otherwise,
the same as though imposed by itself.

That the membership of 1899 is hereby recognized as a
permanent membership of each parent association, and that
neither parent association will receive in membership mem*
bers of the other associations unless it continue its membership
in said other parent association.

We will endeavor as rapidly as possible to make and
maintain a uniformity of rules, and will aid each other in
all matters calculated to promote the trotting interest.

This agreement shall remain in force from this daLe until
changed by mutual agreement.

The well known trotter Ante Dawn 2:19£, owned by
Walter Kilpatrick, died recently of fistula. The horse had
been Buffering for nearly a year, and all efforts to cure the
ailment were una vailing. Ante Dawn was a bay gelding by
Guy Wilkes 2:15£ out of Auntie by Dawn 2:18|, the son of
Nutwood 2:18f. He was foaled in 1893 at William Corbitt'e
San Mateo Farm, Burlingame, Cal-, and was brought out as
a three year old by Cope Stinson, who drove him to a record
of 2:19} at Boston. Mr. Eilpatrick has bought of Dr. Gill
the bay gelding Royal Rene 2:20 by Roy Wilkes 2:06£ out of
Gladys B. by King Rene. Royal Rene gained his record at
Davenport, la., in 1898.

Mr. H. K. Dkyereux;, of Cleveland, Ohio, has exchanged
the chestnut mare lams 2:38}, by Allerton 2:09}, with Vance
Nuckols for Peko 2:11.x, by Electioneer. As she has every*
thing a model broodmare should possess he bought her
mainly to breed to John A. McKerron 2:12}, but after being
bred she will be used in the matinees this season. She is by
Electioneer, and her third dam is the great broodmare that
is the third dam of the champion three year old of the
running turf, Jean Beraud. She has proven herself a pro-
ducer in a filly by Dexter Prince which beat 2:20, and trotted
a quarter in 30} seconds for the Maplewood Farm last season*

Mr. Juan Gallegos, of Mission San Jose, is an enthus-
iastic breeder of the light harness horse and has some very
choice stock on his farm. He was a purchaser at the closing
out sale of the Corbitt farm in 1898, and secured a number of
good young fillies as well as the old mare Sable dam of Sable
Wilkes. He has a colt from her by Nutwood Wilkes that is
a very handsome and promising weanling. Mr. Gallegos has
booked three mare; to McKinney this year.

Dione 2:09} is the queen of the San Francisco speedway
this winter. She is driven over that track nearly every day
by Geo. Berry, Superintendent of A. B. Spreckels' private
stable on Fell street, and there is nothing that can show her
the way to the end of the road.

To the Deaf — A rich lady, cured of her Deafness and
Noises in the Head by Dr. Nicholson's Artificial Ear Drum,

procure the Ear Drums may have them free. Address No.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

[By George Bird Grlunell, Ph. D.]

Although almost the smallest of our game birds the snipe
is one of the most highly prized. It is also, on account of
its very wide distribution, perhaps better known to sports-
men than any other bird which they pursue. Breeding as
it does on the very borders of ths Arctic circle, and extend-
ing its Bights during the southern migration to the northern
countries of South America, it occurs at one time or an-
other of the year throughout the length and breadth of oar
land. The lime was when good snipe Bhootine, some time
during the spring or fall, could be had wherever favorable
feeding grounds existed, but as this bird has been almost
wholly overlooked by the game laws, and is shot at al]
times and seasons wherever found, the snipe to-day — except
in certain favored localities — is becoming one of the rarest
of our birds.

Notwithstanding its wide distribution and the fact that it
is known to almost all sportsmen, the snipe has few local
names. From its resemblance to the European species, with
which, up to the time of Wilso n, it was regarded as iden-
tical, it is almost universally known as English or jack snipe.
Gordon Trumbull, in his most excellent and interesting
work, entitled, Names and Portraits of Birds which Interest
Qunners, tells us that at different points in New Jersey and
Maryland it is called bog snipe, and marsh snipe, obviously
to distinguish it from the shore inhabiting beach birds*
which are also commonly called snipe. In an article con.
tributed to the Century Magazine, in 1883, I wrote: 'Few
of our birds are so poor in local names as this one, for it iB
almost everywhere known either as the English or jack snipe.
Along the New England coast, however, it has an appella-
tion which is rather curious. As the bird arrives about the
same time as the shad, and is found on the meadows along
the rivers where the nets are hauled, the fishermen, when
drawing their seines at night, often start it from its mois1
resting place and hear its Bharp cry as it flies away through
the darkness. They do not know the cause of the sound and
from the association they have dubbed its author the shad
spirit." Mr. Trumbull calls attention to NattaU's statement
that in Massachusetts it is known as the "ale wife bird, from
its arrival with the shoals of that fish;" and that in like
manner, and for the same cause, on the Delaware it is called
Bhad bird, while in the southeastern parts of Illinois, accord-
ing to Mr. Ridgway, the common term for it is gutter snipe.

his love-making, which is quite similar in method to that
of the woodcock. In the early moroing, or at evening, or
when the weather is dull and cloudy, at any time c( the day,
the snipe may be seen to rise in wide spirals high above
the earth, often almost disappearing from sight, and then to
dart down from on high with stiffened wings, uttering a
twittering humming call, which has been said to be caused
in part by the stiff wing feathers against the air in ih
rapid descent, but is no doubt vocal. When he has almost
reached the earth he checks hie fall and then drops into the
grass, or perhapB he may alight on a fence, a tree twig, or
an old stump, where he stands for a moment as if to be ad-
mired, and then drops into the grass. There his mate is
awaiting him, and about her he struts with head thrown
back, trailing wings and expanded tail, eager to win her
admiration.

This performance of the snipe, though less familiar to ua
than any forms of love-making by the birds, is of course
analogous to the drumming of the rufled grouse, and the
dancing of the prairie chicken, and is still more similar to
the love songs of certain Bmall birds found oo the prairie,
skylarks, and finches which, as they have no lofty perches

rom which they can siog, fly high in the air, and, descending
slowly on balanced wings, utter their eong until they reash
the ground. The rapid fall of the snipe Bomewhat resembleB
the downward dart of the night hawk.

The nest is a primitive affair; just a little hollow in the
ground, lined with a few blades of grass, in which the four
eggs lie with their points all together. They are of a dull
clay color, dotted and splashed with large and small spots of
a blackish brown. The young leave the nest as soon as tbey
are hatched, and ran about after the mother, as do young
woodcock or young grouse; in other wordB, they are what the
naturalists call precocious (Pisecocea). About the first of
September the full grown family turn their bills southward
and jog along, at first by easy stages, toward their winter
home in the south. Usually, most of them have passed on
by the latter part of November, and if any remain at this
time they are sure to be big, fat, heavy and delicious. I
have killed them in December, when it was quite cold and
there was a thick Bkim of ice all over the ponds, but usually
the first sharp frost, by hardening the mud, closes up their
feeding grounds and forces them further along. Yet that
it is not the cold, but the lack of food, which obliges them
to leave us is shown by the fact that in many places along
the flanks of the Rocky mountains and on the high plateau
of the Laramie plains, where in winter the mercury often
falls to -30 or -40 degrees Fahrenheit, a few snipe are regu_
larly found during the winter about certain warm spring
holes which never freeze. That if a bird has plenty of food
it does not mird a great dferee of cold is still further em
phasixed by the fact that in this same region many docks
winter in all the warm pools and eddies which do not freeze.
Snipe sre notorious for the uncertainty of their appear-
ance and for the apparently causeless way in which they
vanish again. No djubt the two factors which influence
them in these respects are the weather and food supply. If
they come into a meadow which looks like a good feeding
ground, and after having tested it find it barren, they
promptly move on to some other ground. The snipe is a
voracious bird like the woodcock, and the character of its
food is such that it must be necessary for it to eat at very
frequent intervals. Its food consists very largely of earth
worms and insects found amoDg the grass on the wet mead-
ows which it frequents. Like its cousin, the woodcock, it
procures the chief portion of its sustenance by boring; that
j8 to say, by probing the soft mud with its swollen tipped
sensitive bill, by which it probably feels any motion in the
soil, and thus detects the presence of its food. The nerves
in the bill of the woodcock and snipe have been studied to
some extent, and one may imsgine that the heads of these
two species would prove interesting subjects to the anatomist.
Snipe in confinement have been known to eat bread and milk
and corn meal.

Although the snipe's erratic ways of coming and going are
proverbial, it is yet not an easy matter to drive him away
from a giveu place when he does not wish to go. He is an
obstinate little fellow, and when he has found a feeding
ground that suits him, chasing him about over it is not likely
to make him leave. It is a common experience to have a
snipe get up wild before one and rise high in the air, as if
intending to go a great distance, and then, after flying in
wide circles high above the meadow to see it, at length return
and pitch down almost in the very spot from which it rose.
It is not likely to do this unless the gunner stand- perfectly
still until it has alighted, and after its return a little time
should be given it to begin to feed again, or else it mav rise
once more and take its permanent departure. I recall an
occasion when I Baw this attachment to locality exemplified
at s, roe well known snipe grounds in Indiana, where by
good fortune I found birds in great numbers. These ground;
were not very extensive, but the great number of snipe made
the shooting puzzling. We worked the marshes over two or
three times until all the birds had gone, and then my com
panion and I separated to explore the neighborhood in the
two directions in which the birds had chiefly disappeared.
I proceeded through a piece of dry woodland, thinking that
perhaps beyond it there might be another mare.b. To my
astonishment, soon after I had entered tbe woods, snipe be-
gan to rise about me in all directions. There must have
been hundreds of them. My companion crossed a high
cultivated hill to see if beyond that there was a slough.
When he reached the (op of the hill, where there was a dry
potato lot, snipe arose from every furrow that he passed, and
whirling about went back to the marsh we had just been
shooting on. So it eeems that, simple though be is thought
to be, the snipe is wise enough when be jb much harried on
a favorite feeding ground to go away to Borne place where he
would never be looked for, and there await tbe departure of
the dist'irber of hJB peace.

lo these days when snipe are Bcarce and hard to find, a
good dog is sometimes very useful in saving much laborious
walking to the gunner, and in retrieving most of the birds
that he may kill. Moreover, there is no more beautiful
place to see dogs work than the open meadiws where snipe
are usually found. On the other hand ihey cfen wholly
decline to lie to a dog, getting up wild before biir, and so
much further from tbe gun than they otherwise would; or
if they are very numerous ihey pnzz'e and confound the dogs
by their numbers and tbe fact that thev have pissed over
tbe gro and in all directionp. On the whole a dog is Uss use.
ful ir snipe shooting than in tbe pursuit of any other bird.

Yet there are times when the snipe are fat and lazy and lie
well, when a dog is very much needed. Then they will let
you pass within a few feet of them without rising, and it ib
impossible to see them unless th;y move. The subject of
protective coloring is familiar to a sportsman, for we all
know how hard it iB to Bee a quail or a grouse crouched in
grass or weeds before the dog's nose, a night hawk sitting
on the rock, or a deer in the woods or lying on a bare rock*
hillside, unless it moves. Few birds effer better examples
of protective coloring than the snipe; its blacks, browns^
cheBtnuts ar_d btfTs hsimcnizirg wonderfully well with the
yellow grass smeng which it lives, and the shadows and
openings beneath the grass. So true is this that even when
looked at directly the snipe is not likely to be seen on the
ground except by chance. I once saw one of these bird8
feeding along the edge of a little slough on the bare black
mud, where his color and his motion caught my eye at once,
A moment later the snipe saw me and walked quickly to the
gide of a tuft of grass, where it squatted close beside the grasB
Biems, Bgainst which it could hardly be delected. I took my
eyes from it two or three times, and on looking at it again
was obliged to really search for it before I could make out
the bird's outline. Of course, as my eyes became more
familiar with the spot and with the situation of the bird, I
found it more and more easily each time

The protective coloring makes it often difficult to see a
dead snipe lying on the ground, unless it has been closely
marked down or haB fallen on its back bo that the white
belly shows; and bo a good retriever iB a real help in snipe
shooting, for he will find many birds that would otherwise
be lost. Most men, unless they are in constant practice,
grow careless about marking down theii birds, a matter
which at first reauires keen attention and close observation.
If these are applied intelligently for a time, the marking of
the birds becomes at leogth more or less automatic, and is
not a matter that one need think much about. As I said
in the article above referred to: " Without considerable
practice it is not eaBy to mark down a dead bird so accur-
ately that you can wals to it. This becomes especially diffi-
cult when several of the birds rise together, or nearly so, and
yon shoot first one and then another, and then, perhspa, try
to mark down the remainder of the wisp. You have a gen-
eral idea of the direction in which the first one fell, and are
sure that the second dropped close by a certain little bunch
of grasB; but when, after haviDg strained your eyes after
the living and marked them down, you turn your attention
to the dead, you are likely to find yourself Bome*hat per.
plexed. You see now that there are a dozen little buncheB
of grass near where the second bird fell, any one of which
may be that by which you marked him; and as for the first(
you feel very hopeless about being able to go within twenty
yards of where it dropped. So you may lose half an hour of
valuable time in searching for ihe dead. Practice in mark-
ing and a quick eye will after awhile enable you to retrieve
your own birds successfully. As a mat:er of fact there is
always something — a bunch of eras?, a bit of drift stuff, a
flower, a leaf, or a weed stalk — near your bird which is un-
like anything else close to ii; and you must see this oVject
whatever it is, and remember it in the instant's glance that
you have."

During the winter the Southern StateB offer good snipe
Bhooting. Many of the marsbe3 lying along the bays and
sounds, which extend from North Carolina to Flondi, are
favorite feeding grounds for these bird?, aod here they can
usually be found in numbers. Perhaps tbe marsheB of North
Carolina, along Currituck Souod, are the most northern
points where enipe winter in considerable numbers, and evpn
here they are not altogether permanent winter residen'B, for
they oscillate back and forth with the weather, appearing on
the marshes when it is warm, and moving south again if a
cold Bnap or freeze comes, only to reappear as the marshes
grow soft once more Oa such marshes it ib possible still to
have fairly good sDipe shooting now aod then, though even
there the birds are not nearly so plentiful as ibey were a few
yearB ago; and here the northern gunner who has gone sooth
for the duck shooting tramps for soipe on the lay days, which
a wise legislature has provided by a stitu'e, for the enforce-
ment of which it furnishes neither man nor money.

There is no prettier sport than snipe shooting when the
birds lie well, and none more tantal:zing when (bey act as
they often do, giving you at rare intervals a long shot, and
then disappearing no oce knows where

Most gunners who have fairly considered the sobj^ct will
agree, I think, that if we are to continue to have any snipe
shooting, tbe season in all the Slates should close January
1st. In the Northern Sta'es this would mean that snipe
shooting, like that of other game birds, should be confined to
the autumn months, and that when tbey arrive in the spring
an. I are already mated the birds should not be disturbed, but
allowed lo contioue their journey unmolested, or to breed
with us. The faith in the necessity of putting an erd to
spring shooting, if we are to continue to have any snipe or
wild fowl, is growing slowly, and will before long become
general, and until this further limit is set on the use of the
gun. ducks and snipe will continue to diminish in numbers.
Perhnps nine-lenlhs of the shooting done to-day is at inani-
mate targe's, and nnlesB some earnest steps are taken to pre-
serve our game birds, those who care only for field shooting
in»y have to put away their guos for all time.

The Game Law.

The synopsis, of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and
various changes in the county game and fish laws, partfeu.

Iarly those of recent date and of application in and around
the bay counties.

This synoDBis has been frequently copied (in more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
journals and has also been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be made to current numbers of the Brreder and Sports
man for ihe laleBt and most complete .data concerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open season for shooting quail, doves, deer and wild duct as
fixed oy the State law is as follows: Doves, 15th July to 15th Febru-
ary. Mountain quail and grouse, 1st September to 15th February.

in the following counties: Bntte, Trinity, Marin, Lake, Merced-
Riverside, Los Angeles, San Bernardino. Santa Barbara, Kings, Ven,
tura, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Joaquin, Yuba.

The clerics of nearly all the Boards of supervisors have advised us
no changes have been made this year, but the ordinances passed
last vear hold good if they do not conflict with the State law. The
following countaea nave not passed any ordinances that alter
the open season as provided by State law : Amador. Butte, Inyo,

A Dog Lover.

I am none of your dog cranks. No sir-ee!

I love a good dog, I avow;
But I don't have a spasm of Joy when I see

Any sort of an old bow-wow.
There are dogs that are good and dogs that are bad.

And dogs that no man would claim;
So my gold I'll inveBt in the very best,

And leave others the mangy and lame.

Quite few are the breeds that my kennels hold;

Of pointers and terriers a score ;
Spaniels, St. Bernards and mastiffs bold,

Foxhounds— a dozen or more-
Terriers — Irish and Boston and Scotch,

Bulldogs with jaws like a trap,
Beagles that stand at the ten-inch notch,

Pugs you could hide in yoar cap.

Beautiful dachshunds with sawhorse legs;

Borzois, Dalmatians aod Skyss,
Mexicans— bare as a basket of eggs—

And a few other breeds that I prize;
But I'm no silly dog crank, please understand,

There are curs that I wouldn't possess—
For they're held at a price that I can't command

And their owners won't sell them for less.

msjinty of which have no pedigre. whatever, nor is any-
thing said to their being bred abroad. These early Pomer-
anians were, I take it, in the hands of private individuals,
who took no (rouble to keep records of the puppies so far aa
either sire or dam was concerned. Twenty-five years or eo
ago, in most cases the Pomeranians had to compete in the
variety classes, and perhaps the most notable dog, and the
handsomest of bis day, was Mr. J. W. Fawdyrey's Charlie;
bat since then seueral excellent specimens have been intro-
duced, notably those from the kennels of Miss Creswell.

A great chaoge has, however, been recently brought about
in the Pomeranian so far aa this country is concerned; the
whiles have had their noses pot out of joint, their places be-
in;? more than supplied by the black specimens, and others
fawn or pale red in color, chocolate or brown, blue or slate
colored, and occasionally these hues are diversified by parti-
colored specimens. I do not believe that all these Pomeran-
ians of different colors recently produced, have epruog from
one stock, whatever may have been the case a hundred or

crack Claude Duval. This breeding will be of the greatest
importance to fox terrier circles on the Coast. Sensation is
by Warren Safeguard out of Blemton Spinaway, both favor-
ably known dogs to the fancy here. Mr. Carnochan, with
the true spirit of a sportsman and enthusiastic breeder, gen-
erously offers to receive and take charge of Sensation until
the proper time for breeding her to Duval. This grand stud
terrier has a record of over 300 firsts and specials in Eng-
land. He easily carried first in novice, limit and winners'
classes at the New York bench show and also the $50 prize
for best puppy sired by him in 1899.

The following story has its origin in hunting circles in
England: A cunning old fox had. been well bunted and
eventually got away. Some time afterwards a passer-by saw
a dead beat fox slowly making bis way across a ploughed
field, followed by three houods. The quartette were thor-
oughly licked, and the fox being unable to go further lay
down, when the dogs by a supreme effort struggled op to the
fox and lay down also. Wbrt would have happened when
the animals recovered we are unable to say, bat the
story ends with a farmer coming up and bagging the fox.
Now this story has been everywhere ridiculed as most
improbable, and it has even been suggested that fox-
hunters have entered into competition with anglers, and

more years ago. Most of these charming black, or blue, or

made a desperate effort to deprive them of their world- red' or chocolate specimens are much smaller than the orig-

wide reputation. It is, however, believed that such an ina^ whites, 4lb. and 61b. weight each being unusual, and

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The height at shoulder of a well-grown Gordon setter
should be about 23 inches or over; weight, when fully ma-
tured, about 65 pounds.

The Christmas number of the English Stock Keeper is an
issue full of moat interesting reading illustrated by a nnmber
of very excellent pictures.

Yon may breed from your fox terrier bitch the first time
she comes in season with safety. If it were injurious Nanre
would have ordained otherwise.

This handsome and sprightly little breed which has been
on the top wave of popularity in England for several years
past has at last become quite the fashion in Eastern doggy
circles. At the recent bench show of the Pet Dog Club in
New York the entry was a marvelous one for a first real ex-
hibit of the breed in the United States; one of the sensations
of the exhibit being the Lakewood Kennel with twelve good
specimens of the breed shown; winning eighteen prizes in a
competition of fifty-one entries.

That Poms are great favorites in this city, as well as else-

little fellow, a beautiful red sable called Marco, and the late
Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone's favorite dog was a little black
specimen which gloried in the name of Pelz. That my
words have come true is plainly in evidence, for at all the
leading shows to-day Pomeranians are provided with an im-
mense number of classes, which are proportionately filled.
At the 1897 show of the Ladies' Kennel Association thirty,
eight classes were provided, which obtained over 160 entries,
and the entries in the "Stud Book" have increased fully aa
much in proportion.

This extraordinary increase in the popularity of the variety
]s easily accounted for by the introduction from Germany and
the Continent of the smaller specimens, which are classified
as toys. These, mostly black in color, are much the rage as I
write this, and a few months ago £250 was paid for a little
dog called Black Prince, which had been successfully shown
hy Mr. C. Houlker. This is a record price for the variety

Eastern sportsmen are keen to recognize the value of Ch.
Count Gladstone IV. as a sire of field trial performers. The
demand for puppies sired by this grand dog is greater than
can be filled at present.

A well known Dunedin solicitor had a curious adventure
on the St. Clair beach one morning recently, relates the
New Zealand Star. He was walking along, accompanied by
bis sod and fox terrier. The latter was swimming in the
suif, when he descried a sea gull struggling with a fish. The
gull rose, carryiog the fish a considerable distance along the names, as the Spilz, Loup-Loup, Pomeranian, Wolf dog, Fox
surface of the sea, and then dropped it into the water again, jog, and may be by others. There is little doubt that he

mens seen

it is slso noticeable that our dogs seem to be a little larger
than the toy Poms which are now being taken up so seriously
among the lovers of pet doga in the East, particularly ladies-
The points of the breed not being so well known out
here, a few extracts from the latest edition of R. B. Lee's
"Modern Doge" will convey an idea as to the proper tbiog
in the breed according to the English standard.

The Pomeranian, Bays Rawdon B. Lee, has from time to
time been known and recognized under many different

more than 31b. weight. However, even a moderate specimen
black, or sable, or fawn or white, of not more than 61b. in
weight, will always command an excessive price. These
little dogs appear hardy, and being by no means so difficult
to rear as other "lap" dogs, their increase in numbers and in
popularity is not surprising. As to the price stated above
paid for Black Prioce, it may be said it hss seldom been ex-
ceeded for a toy dog of any description the most notable
exception being when, not long ago, Mr. A. Howard sold his
pug bitch Chotee for £300.

The terrier followed, Bwam into the sea, drove the gull away,
and brought the fish to shore. It proved to be a mullet
about a foot long, and was 6till alive. The dog was given it
for his breakfast as a reward for his plucky conduct.

Geo. Richards is still hard at work getting the Verona
Kennels string of Betters now located at Sparta, Msss., in
shape for the Eastern field trial circuit. The dogs are all
in the pink of condition and rapidly becoming familiar with
the requirements and work necessary to make them eligible
for darting in Eastern trials. Senator P. is doing some most
promising work aod will give the Eastern cracks a "strong
run for the money" notwithstanding the handicap he will be
under by reason of bis lack of field trial experience. The
young pointer Sam's Bow shows great improvement and has
a wondrous faculty of learning quickly the work cut out for
him. Richards has great faith in this bright son of Plain
Sam.

The trials of the Pacific Coast Field Trials Club commenc-
ing at Bakersfied on Monday will be a notable one in the
history of Coast field trials. The attendance of sportsmen
promises to be a large one. The majority of the gentlemen
interested in the trials will proceed to Bakersfield to-day.
Mr. Thomas Johnson, who will officiate as judge, will prob-
ably arrive there to-day coming direct from tbe East and
will not stop over in this city until the meeting is over.
Birds are reported to be in sufficient numbers to meet field
trial requirements. Cover since the recent rains is ample in
the most favorable localities selected for the dogs. It will
probably take four days or more to run tbe four events on
the program. The Members and Champion Stakes, it seems,
will have a larger number of dogs entered than was antici-
pated several weeks ago. Entries for these two stakes close
the evening before they will be run. Schoolboy, an English
setter youngster entered in the Derby by Verona Kennels,
we are informed, will probably not be started.

more nearly approaches in appearance, and in a certain shy-
ness, which occasionally prevails in some specimens, such
anti-domestic animals as the dogs of the Arctic regions in-
cluding the Samoyedes and the smaller varieties of the
Esquimaux; than any other of our European dogs. One oj
the Samoyedes owned by H. R. H. the Prince of Wales very
much resembles a white Pomeranian excepting in coat, which
on the first named is comparatively shoit as compared with
that of the other.

The Pomeranian, or Spilz dog, as it was until recently
called, was no doubt originally brought from Pomerania, a
country which lies on the shores of the Baltic 8ea. When
he first became acclimated with us there is nothing to show;
that he has been one of us for a number of years there is no
doubt whatever.

Until, within the past half dozen years or so, the white
Pomeranian was the only variety known to any great extent
in this country, aod this was a purely white dog some 20 lb.
or bo in weight. He did not bear a great reputation for
amiability, and his best friends could not say that be was
anything more than snappish and particularly ill-tempered
with children and with strangers. Some few years ago there
was a mad dog scare in New York, and in official quarters
the origin was said to be traced to Spitz dogs, a great many
being destroyed without any proof being forthcoming either
one way or the oiber. Still, I do not think it was altogether
on account of their ill-temper that they have never popular-
ised themselves in this country, but white specimens of ex-
cellence were most difficult to produce, especially when ac-
companied by dark hazel eyes and a perfectly black nose.

THE FARM.

Importance of Testing the Herd

Ad old farmer once eaid to us: "Why on
earth do you keep 6ring away at us abont
testing our cows and keeping a record?"

"Well," we replied, because we see what a
lot of money is wasted by you and other men
in keeping cows that yon know scarcely any-
thing about."

To this he gave a contemptuous snort and
said: "What noneseose! Do you euppoBe a
man can live with a cow for two or three
years and not have a good judgment as to
whether Bhe is a profitable cow or not?

We replied that we not only supposed but
we knew that hundreds and thousands of
such farmers and such instances existed.

He farther asked if we supposed that a
man could go into a farmer's barn yard and
pick ont his best cow and the farmer not
know whether she was that kind of a cow or
not?

We told him that we thought we could do
that very thing in his own herd; that we
conld pick out cows which he greatly under-
valued as to their merit as compared with
some other cows in his herd, and could find
others which he greatly over-valued.

A vear or more after that conversation en-
sued, a Bon of this farmer, who had been a
8hort Coarse Student at the Wisconsin Agri-
cultural College, concluded to test his father's
herd by the scales and the Babcock test. He
first took his father's judgment as to which
were the best cows. A record of the pounds
of milk lo: six months was kept, together
with the test for batter fat once each week.

The test showed that there were six cows
in the herd which his father thought were
below par, which made from 50 to 120 pounds
of butter each more than six of the cows he
thought were the very best. The test was a
revelatioo to the father, and he has had noth-
ing to s&v againbt testing cows since. This
incident shows how valuable it was to this
man that he had a goor\ brigbt boy who had
taken in a little valuable knowledge io this
particular. It would be a grand thing if
many other farmers woold serve themselves
in the same way br sending their sons to the
8hort Coarse or Dairy School.

In the Bulletin of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture on 'Tbe Dairy
Herd," Maj Alvord relates the following:

"A dairyman of wide reputation, president
of a State a<socialion for years, concluded to
adopt the daily milk record rather because
of thoBe who advocated it than of aoy con-
viction of needing it himself His herd was
of his own brpeding, he had handled every
cow from its birth, and he and his sons did
the milking.

Before beginning the record be made note
of the joint opinion of himself and bode — as
to the half dozen best cows in the herd, and
an estimate of their season's milk yield.
When the year's record was completed it was
fonnd that in order of actual merit, the cows
stood as follows: Tbe best cow was the fifth in
tbe estimate; the second, a cow not on bis
list; the third was the fourth on the list; the
fourth waa the first; tbe fifth was bis sixth;

the sixth, a cow not in his estimate; and his
second and third in previous estimate were
way down on the list. These facts were
borne out by subsequent records and tbe man
who had called himself a good dairyman, was
forced to the conclusion that one-fourth of
his cows were being kept at an actual I ss
while the others barely paid their way." —
Hoard's Dairyman.

The Oattle Outlook.

Louis Gerber, who is feeding a large num-
ber of mutton sheep and beef cattle on the
Lost River raDge in Oregon for the California
market, does not think that prices will remain
at the present high figure. He says: "Beef is
not as high as >t w*s during the summer and
autumn months, and the feeders will find the
profits on the wrong side of the ledger.

The heavy fall of rain in California during
the fall months has started vegetation of all
kinds and from all advances received from
Southern California there will be an absence
of grass beef cattle by the latter part of
February.

A great many cattle have been shipped to
the southern coanties from Arizona and
Mexico during the last two months.

While I don't look for cattle to take a big
tumble, there will be a general decline in
prices for the next five years.

I look for two year olds to bring about $25
next year. That is a very good price and it
is a good business at that figure.

The local consumption of beef in the San
Francisco, Oakland and Sacramento markets
has fallen of fully 25 per cent, for the present
season compared with previous years.

It is true that there were fully as many
cattle slaughtered in San Francisco daring
1899 and probably more, bat this was caused
by the immense amount of both fresh and
canned meats which the government Bent on
the transports to the Philippines.

When beef is high as it has been during the
past year, the working people who are really
the consumers, buy other food as a sub-
stitute.

I don't want to leave the impression, how-
ever, that cattle will be down to aoy low fig-
ure for s^me time, bat one who has observed
conditions for over 30 years and has seen
these ups and downs in the live stock business
it does not take long to figure oat the
problem.

We have a population oa this whole coast
of two million people, not as man? inhabi-
dant as there are in the citv of New York,
and with the Btates of California, Oregon,
Nevada and ArizDna to draw from and every-
body anxiouB to get into the busine&s it takes
bat a short lime to have a surplus.

WheLever the eastern market does not
justify the buying of cattle from Eastern
Nevada it takes but a short time to be over-
stocked. However we will compare notes in
three years and see how mach I miss my cal-
culations.''

Mi. Geo. Bement, one of California's pion-
eer stock breeders, advertises thoroughbred
Essex hogs for sale. His Essex stock eaptu-ed

State Fair last year, and won four sweepstakes.
His address is East Oakland, Cal.

Feeding for Choice Beef.

The three essential points in the beef-
prodacing animal are quality, quantity and
cost of production. The first is required in
order to get the highest or best paying price.
There must be size or the animal cannot be
made up to sufficient weight at an early or
paying age. The cost of production depends
upon the animal's ability to assimilate the
food at the feeder's command, for if there is
not s goodly balance between the cost of the
eed consumed and the price obtained tbe
object sought will be lost, or in other words
there is little interest in an undertaking that
v.ill not furnish the dollar at the end of the
row.

Beef production begins with the breeder.
He dictates the cross that produces the steer.
Here the best sire obtainable among the beef
breeds is none too good. Not only must the
sire be of the best strain of breeding or bred
after the line of beef production, but he should
be individually ao animal of larger scale, all
his beef points filled with natural flesh, which
is determined by his straight outline together
with allownes- of touch or handling quality
which requires experience to distinguish.
The perfect beef animal grows a depth of
flesh from which the highest-priced joints of
beef are to be cut. From the back, porter-
house steak and the best rib roasts are taken,
therefore this part of the carcass must develop
ihe greatest wealth of flesh. We must also
see to it that oar beef animal is a kindly
keeper that his food tarns to flesh, that he
grows rapidly, heoce it is necessary that this
part of his frame is correspondingly well put
together. His chest mast be wide, standing
well apart on his foiel gs, that there matt be
plenty of room for his vital and d g-s'h e
organs; to this may be added a fullness at
flanks, nice -oft handling hair and hide, all of
which denote the kindly keeper. Such hand-
some appearance and true outline make up
the peifdct beef animal — Farm and Home.

V. L. Smock, a stock dealer of Mooroe
coaoty, Mo., has just returned from Cape
Town, where he disposed of a cargo of mules
which he took over on a venture He says
the demand for mules and horses for army
purposes is away above the supply, and likely
to remain so for many months. For a man
with sufficient capital to buy and ship males,
8outh Africa is beyond donbt the finest field
in the world. Good males can be bought in
Missouri at $50 to $80. It cost, on an aver-
age, $65 to ship them to Cape Town, and
every animal that arrives in good shape will
easily sell for 100 per cent, above the costs.
It took 38 days to ship this Block from New
York to Cape Town. The animals soon got
used to their surroundings, and were really
in better shape at the end of the trip than at
the beginning. The prices realized were from
$200 for "common, little mules" to $500 and
$600 for the best stock. Cecil Rhodes bought
seven jacks for $5712, or an average of $816.

Here is a recipe for a paint that can he

rain will not affect it in the least — it is per-

any pigment yon please: Water, 16 oz.; com-

Soak the glue in 16 oz. water till soft; then
heat over a gentle heat till dissolved; add the
bichromate potash and your color, and be sure
you don't boil or barn it, or yoa spoil it.
Apply while hot.

Dairy Notes.

One of the grand problems for the dairy-
man is <-he obtaining good help on the dairy
farm. He needs a man who can milk qnickly
and quietly, without losing his temper and
beating and abneiog the cow, if at some time
she does not stand quietly or if she persists in
hitting him across the face with her tail. He
needs a man who has good judgment io feed*
ing, aod is quick to notice any trouble or ill-
ness in the cows he has the care of or that
be milks. The man must be neat and cleanly
about his work, and he must be reliable, so
that, sickness or accidents excepted, he will
be on hand every day and at regular hours
every day.

Of course, if the farmer is all this himself,
he <an train men to do as he would have them

I do, or, at least, to do as long as he is within

sight and hearing. If he could be sure of

alwavs being at hand himself, he could do as

many have done, take a man who was not just

I what he wanted, and by careful oversight

! teach him what to do and how to do it, and

1 see that be did as he was told, but not every

man can, if be wishes, be on hand night and

! morning for 365 da?s in a year for as many

! years as it will take him to get rich enough

to retire from the dairy business. When be

finds auch a man, he should keep him as loog

as possible and pay him good wages, and we

would suggeBt to some of our young men that

Ihere are abundant openings on dairy farms

for those who will fit themselves for the busi-

! ness. They need not only to learn the art of

| milking and caring for the cows, but they

must cultivate neatness, patience and puoctu

| ality.

Do You Want a Camera?

Takes a Picture

The Gem Poco
4 :x 3

FOR THREE NEW SUBSCRIBERS TO THE

BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

THE GEM POCO is a 4x5 camen, constructed with a universal or fixed
focus lens that will take a picture clsar and sharp at the outer edge as well
as at the center This was deemed an impossibility until last season, when
the GEM POCO demonstrated that it could be done. And yet no others
have succeeded in obtaining this much desired result.

It is covered with fine Morocco grain leather, has leather handle, two tripod
plates, and two large brilliant oblong view finders, made in proportion to the
plate, which insures the correct position of the views.

It is equipped with a newly discovered fixed focus GEM lens, constructed on
an entirely new principle, giving a great depth of focus, cutting the plates
clear and sharp to their full size, together with rotary diaphragm with three
apertures, Rochester safety shutter arranged for time or instantaeous expos-
ures, and speed regulator.

As all working parts are made flush with the camera box, there is no possi-
bility of their becoming broken or getting out of order.

Any one sending us three new yearly subscribers, accompanied by the cash ($9.00), will be sent a GEM POCO.
If you intend to get up a club, send for sample copies, to be used in canvassing, or send us a list of names of people
you intend to see, and sample copies will be sent to them from this office. BREEDER AND SPORTSMAN

It was used all the past summer by Tom Murphy,

that won 828.000 on the Grand Circuit. If you see
Murphy ask him about it. Or ask Dr. Boucher of

DUKE AND HOLLY— A Pair that Sold for $5000.

OUR ILLUSTRATION this week is of a noted pair of
blue ribbon winners, Duke anil Holly driven by
their owner Mr. A. J Nutting, of Brooklyn, New York,
who sold them last fall to Mr. Theodore R. Hostetter,
of Pittsburg. Pennsylvania, for $5000. The half tone en-
graving has been kindly loaned to us by the New York
Spirit of the Times. This pair of high steppers are
familiar to New York horse show patrons, having figured
prominently at equine exhibitions there for several sea.
sons. They have won many prizes and are among the
best animals of their kind in the country. Both are
well bred trotters ; they are bay in color, stand 15.1 each
and are as well mannered as they are well matched,
One is by Masterlode, sire of Edward 2 :19, and the
other by Garnet Wilkes, a son of Onward. Mr. Nutting
purchased them about four years ago, for something
like $2000. He entered them frequently and drove
them himself. He is an expert whip and their fine
points were always shown to advantage. This picture
will show to our readers the style of horse that is in de-
mand in the Eastern cities and the kind that will sell

for a high price even though they do not have speed.
While the two horses shown have splendid conforma-
tion, are high headed, large boned and good lookers all
over it is not so very difficult to produce horses that are
as good individuals if breeders will only try to breed
them. Mr. John Parrott, proprietor of the Baywood
Stud at San Mateo, has been and is producing some by
using his Hackney stallion, Green's Rufus, on trotting
bred mares of the proper conformation. While as well
formed horses as those shown in the engravir g can be
produced by the intelligent mating of suitable stallions
and mares, they will not fell for $5000 per pair unless
matched and educated, and this is where the true horse-
man can show his ability and gain the profits. It takes
at least a year to teach a pair of horses perfect manners
so that they are suitable to hitch to a lady's carriage,
but it pays. There is not a handsome, well matched,
well mannered pair of carriage horses in America hut
.an he sold for $2500 any day, but they are hard I
Good individuals are not scarce, hut they are hard to
milch and it takes time and intelligence to school them
properly. There is food for plenty of thought for horse
breeders who will study the above picture and the

causes that induced a gentleman to pay $5000 for the
pair represented.

It was in June, 1890, that a select party joined Mr.
Robert Bonner in a visit to Terre Haute to see >unol in
motion, Marvin having brought the great mare on from
California. C. J. Hamlin. William Russell Allen, W.
P Ijams, YV. R McKeen and ('. V Putnam were among
those who held their wateln-s when Bunol trotted a
quarter to high wheel Milky in ::i 1 •"■ seconds. The

and she was greeted hy an enormons crowd. She did
not beat her record of J: 10) . owing to a break, hut she

Pleasanton, Cal., Jan. 29, 1900.*
As the week? pass by, things are beginning to move a little
faster at the Pleasanton track. Each day new faces are
noted and visitors are becoming more frequent. As yet but
little speeding is done, but now and then one can see a lively
quarter or half stepped cfi. Within the coming month
many surprises are to be sprung, and from every indication
this year will put forth more green ones with better showings
than any previous year.

The report that was out and upon everyone's lips last week
that Dick Benson had succeeded in purchasing Brice Mc-
Neil, seems now to have beei> wroog. An offer was made to
purchase the boree but J. Sutherland had the horse leased
for a certain time and Mr. Benson could not eecure him.
Since then it is said that Brice McNeil has been purchased
by Mr. Sutherland Lt a larger figure than Benson offered.

is by Guide 2:16}, and made a mile in 2:19 in a trial heat
when a three year old. She is surely a "chip off the old

J. M. Alviso has four colts now in training, two Diablos

the season. Both Claymont and Senator will be placed in
the stud this spring and conditioned for the fall racing.

Thos. S. Griffi h of Spokane bought and snipped Ibis week
from John Pender the well known trotting mare Helen J.
2: IS} Mr. Pender brought this mare to Oregon about two
years ago from Los Angeles, Cal. She then had a record of
2:22] and has since reduced it to 2:1SA. She has raced very
successfully on our Northern circuit and is considered one of
the best mares in her class on the coast. We understand
Mr. Griffith is buying her for matinee racing and some one
will have to pay a long price if they buy anything that can
beat her.

The Van de Vanter Stock Farm has purchased from the
Kirkendall estate, Helena, Mont., the high bred stallion
Erect, full brother to Direct 2:05}, and will place him in the
stud at Irvington Park this season. Erect arrived here in
good shape this week, and should be well patronized, for he
is an out cross of high class that should nick well with our
Oregon mares, especially the Altamont blood.

C. B. Williams has placed his Scarlet Letter filly, Kate
Abraham, out of a mare by Prompter, son of Bull Bull, in
the hands of Sam Casto at Irvington track. This filly is a
natural pacer and a very promising one.

J. E. Reeves, of Cornelious, was in this week and reports
his horses all wintering well. Beulah, by Altamont, is due
to foal to McKinney 2:11}, in April. His Alexis filly out of
Beulah is also in foal to Capt. Jones. Mr. Reeves Bays be

Elevator 2:30 is by Don Marvin.

Woodund, Cal., January 29, 1900.

Editob Breeder and Spobtsman: — I see by an article
in the last issue of your paper, written by Mr. Charles A,
Willis in regard to the Stanford Stakes of 1899, in which he
refers to Elevator, one of the starters, as being *'a bay filly
by Iran Alto." Now, Elevator is a black filly sired by Don
Marvin. I gave Elevator her record of 2:30 in a second
heat last year on the 4th of July, on the half-mile track at
Rocklin. The turns of this track are not thrown up, but I
could have driven her much faster that day over it than any
heat was trotted in the Stanford Stake. I would like to have
you correct the mistake Mr. Willis has made in regard to
the color and breeding of Elevator, as I own Don Marvin
and am makiDg a season with him here and have already
been told by a party that Elevator is not by him.

Yours respectfully,

W. Mastin.

[Elevator 2:30 is by Don Marvin and is so given on the
record books and in the 2:30 list as published in all the
papers. The Breeder ai;d Spobtsman has always given
the mare as by Don Marvin. Mr. Willis no doubt made the
mistake of crediting her to Iran Alto inadvertently and
probably through getting her breeding confounded with that
of the winner of the stake, Dr. FraBee's Sister, who is by Iran
Alto, and it was overlooked by us. — Ed. B. & S.]

BOODLE 2:12 1-2

Possesses All the Qualifications Desired Id a
Sire of Harness Horses.

"Boodle is destined to be a great sire of speed," said Dick
Benson, the well known Kansas City horseman, the other
day when looking him over, and he added that "the good
looks, size and style of the get of this son of Stranger will
bring the top prices in the EaBtern market.1' Mr. Benson bad
reasons to back his assertion as it is but a short time since
Valentine 2:30 was sold to a Cleveland gentleman for $2500
and the Nutwood Wilkes unbroken yearling that was pur-
chased by Dan Mahaney for $1000 was out of a Boodle mare.

It will pay anyone who haa never looked Boodle over to
make a trip to San Jose and do so. All one has to do when
arriving in the Garden City is to ask for "Farmer Bunch,''
and he will be directed to the track without further ado, as
everybody knows Bunch and are aware of the fact that he
has charge of this stallion. Boodle was a race horse and
never found a race too long for him. His record of 2:12} is
evidence that he has speed, and as it was made in the second
neat of a race which he won in three straight heats, trotting
them all in 2:15 or belter, it is not of the tin-cup, shooed-in
variety, but an honest race record.

Boodle's pedigree is worth studying, as the following
tabulation will show :

Stranger, the flire of Boodle, was picked out a few yearH
ago by Australian buyers and purchased at a big price to
head one of the leading breeding farms in Europe. The
Europeans want horses that have size and style, sound limbs
and good conformation as well as speed and they selected
Stranger because bis produce suits them, and all his get are
trotters. Before leaving America Stranger sired 32 in the
2:30 trotting list, among them Col. Kuser 2:11|, who was
also sold in Europe and has since reduced bis record to 2:09},
Ballona 2:11$, Boodle 2:12$, Cibolla 2:14£, Broomal 2:15,
Hazel Dell 2:15 and many other fast race winners. Stranger's
sire waa Gen. Washington who sired 15 standard trotters,
has eight sons that have sired 50 in the 2 30 list, and nine
daughters that have produced 14 with standard speed, and
of these but four are pacers and they were from pacing dams.
The sire of Gen. Washington was Gen. Knox, sire of 18
trotters, 32 Bons that produced 79 trotters and 10 pacers, and
31 daughters that produced 35 trotters and 11 pacers. Gen.
Washington's dam was the famous champion Lady Thorne
2:18}, full Bister to Mambrino Patchen.*

The dam of Stranger was the celebrated race mare Gold,
smith Maid 2:14, whose name is a household word wherever
the American trotting horse is known. She trotted mere
heats in 2:30 than any ho'so that ever raced and was the
greatest trotter of her day and there are those who will yet
elf im that she was the fastest trotter that ever lived when
the tracks, sulkies, etc , of her day are considered. She was
by Abdallah 15, whose descendants in the 2:30 list number
thousands, and her dam was by Abdallah 1, the sire of
Hambletonian 10- These are Boodle's top crosses, and there
is nothing but producing and racing trotting blood in them.-

Boodle's dam, Bride, is not only the dam of Boodle 2:12£,
but also of Begum 2:27}. She is by Jay Gould 2:21J, a
great race horse and the sire of Pixley 2:08} and 30 others
in the standard list, with sixteen sires that have produced 40
in the list, and 34 daughters who are the dams of 65 standard
performers. Jay Gould was a son of Hambletonian 10, the
great founder of the American trotting family, and his dam
waB Lady Sanford by American Star 14, the next d»m a
grandaughter of the great race horse, American Eclipse.

Tidy, the dam of Bride and second dam of Boodle, was a
daughter of Ethan Allen 43, and out of a daughter of Ab-
dallah 1. Ethan Allen was another of the great pioneer
trotters and had a record of 2:25.1. He was a son of Black
Hawk 5, and produced six standard trotters, 22 of his sons
aired 93 standard trotters and 3 standard pacers, while 18 of
his daughters are the dams of 21 trotters and 2 pacers with
standard speed. The preponderance of trotters among the
many standard performers enumerated above is remarkable
and shows the wonderful prepotency of the families from
which Boodle descends.

In the stud Boodle has had but limited opportunities and
the numberof mares bred to him has never been large, owing
to the fact that he has been limited to a few mares each
spring and generally raced in the summer and fall. Last
year he trotted a mile separately timed in a race in 2:12.],
which shows that he still baa all his speed. His daughter,
Ethel Downs 2:10, was one of the gamest and fastest race
mares that ever trotted in California and would have Burely
lowered her record had she lived. Thompson 2:144 is another
of his produce that has trotted many long drawn out race8
and won by sheer gamenees trom horses that had more speed

than be. Valentine, another eon of Boodle, took a two year
old record of 2:30 and was sold last year to Mr. H. K. Dev-
ereanx of Cleveland, Ohio, for $2500, and is now considered
one of the grandest lookers owned in the celebrated matine
club of that city and is touted there as a 2:12 performer for
this year. The get of Boodle possess all the attributes of
high class road horses and game trotters. They are very
intelligent, solid bays, browns or blacks, have magnificent
style and conformation, good size, feet and legs like iron,
bold high action, short backs and constitutions that seem able
to Btand anything, and all have those necessary appendages
to a really handsome horst — beautiful manes and tails.
Those who own horses with Boodle blood are aware of their
value and always demand and get good prices for them-
Those who are breeding for size and style as well as speed
should write to Farmer Bunch and book their mares before
Boodle's hook is full, as the son of Stranger may make another
campaign this year if there are good purses hung op for the
classes to which he is eligible.

A Distinguished, Visitor.

Baron Herman, member of the German legation at Wash,
ington, has been commissioned bv his government to make
an extended tour of America with the object of inspecting
our most prominent breeding farms, sale marts, etc , and
officially reporting the information collected concerning them
to the home government at Berlin. Germany has become
deeply interested in American horses and horse breeding,
and while her attitude during the past few years has been at
times distinctly unfriendly toward the American horse and
the ascendency which he has gained in the empire of the
Kaiser, Baron Herman's mission is evidence that the un-
wisdom of this position has been realized. The Baron is a
polished gentle i an and a thorough horseman, and in the
course of a recent visit to the Review office he explained
that his tour of inspection embraced all breeds of horses and
was intended to be comprehensive in its scope. We are sure
that all breeders will be glad to meet him and will afford
him all possible facilities for the successful accomplishment
of his obJ9ct. It is nearly twenty years since Baron Faveror
made a similar tour of America in behalf of the French
government, which resulted in much good to our equine
trade with France. We hope that Baron Herman'- visit
may be equally fruitful in its influence upon ourexport trade
with Germany.

With the passage of every day the immense vista of the
foreign market for American horses opens out before us
The demand is steadily 'increasing and, with the present
avowed scarcity to meet our own local waats, the encourage'
meet to the American breeder becomes steadily greater. Our
facilities for the production of the best horses of all grades or
types are unequalled upon the whole face of the globe, and
as time lapses the truth of this statement is becoming gen-
erally accepted and is causing the entire horse-buying world
to turn toward America as the greatest source of supply for
its needs. It will be our own fault if we do not improve thi8
opportunity to the utmost. — Horse Review.

effect that C. W. William's, Galesburg, III., proposes to go
into the stallion business in his usual thorough manner this
coming spring. It was for Mr. Williams that Bowerman
Bros, bought the stallion Belsire 2:21}, a few weeks ago
from Miller & Sibley, Franklin, Pa., and in addition to that
horse Mr. Williams has lately acquired St. Vincent 2:13J,
sire of Lord Vincent 2:08$, winner of the last Transylvanian
Stake; Mazatlan 2:26$, from Allen farm, Piltefield, Maes ,
and Expedition 2:15$, the crack trotter ^lately owned by
Woodbury farm an 1 considered in the blue grass to be one
of the best of the young stallions alive at this day. With
five such stallions as Allerton 2:09:1, by Geo. Wilkes; Expe-
dition 2:15$, by Electioneer; St. Vincent 2:13}, by Wilkes
Boy; Belsire 2:21J, by Electioneer; and Mazitlao 2:26$, by
Klectioneer, Mr. Williams ought to do a tremenduous busi-
ness this spring, and that so astute a business man and suc-
cessful as he should go so largely into the game proves that
the prospects are very bright for stallion owners this year.
It stands to reason that Mr. Williams would not have gone
into the business so largely unless he had received positive
assurance that he would get so much patronage auywav, for
none of the horses he has bought is a cheap one by any
means, and for Belsire he put down five thousand of the good
cold dollars that come eo hard.

These five stallions, with the few broodmares he owns, Mr.
Williams will locate at the old Ashland park stock farm
made famous by the late Barney Treacy. This is one of the
best, if not the best, equipped stock farms near Lezington|
and it looks as though Mr. Williams intended to shake the
Galesburg dust from off his shoes — Chicago Horseman.

Kendall's Spavin Cure.

At the last meeting of this active and energetic organtza
tion, a new constitution and by-taws were adopted and step,,
taken to make the matinee season of 1900 the best ever given
in this city. Nothing hap done more to make road driving
popular in this cily than the meetings giveo by this associa-
tion and it is expected that the matinee on May 30th, which
is to be held at the Oikland track, will see the biggest list of
starters and the largest attendance in the history of the club*

At the meeting held at the rooms of the club in the Palace
Ho'el last Tuesday evening, nominations for a new board of
eleven directors were made. There were 20 nominations as
follows, out of which a board of eleven members is to be
choeen by ballot at the next regular meeting: J. C. Kirk-
patrick, E. Stewart, D. L. Hackett, J. C. Ohlandt, Edward
Aigeltinger, A. B. Spreckela, Harry Patrick, G. 8weet, Sid-
ney Smith, Frank G. O'Kane, Dr. L Miller, D. C. Ham-
mond, C, F. H,anlon, C. F. Kapp, E. Cerciat, Chas. Newman,
F. W. Thompson, Ira B. Dalzsll, L. Richardson and W.
Hammer ton.

The next meeting will be held on Tuesday evening,
February 13th, and will probably be the best attended busi-
ness meeting ever held by the association.

Paidocks for Stallions.

In building stallion paddocks, like doing most other things'
there is a right way and a wrong way. Many men, and, in-
deed, some pretty good horsemen, seem to think that it is
unsafe to allow a stallion to see other horses at all, lest he
should break over all barriers and make trouble, and to avoid
tuis, if they build a paddock at all, they enclose it with a
high and perfectly tight board fence, so high and so tight
that the stallion can neither see over it or through it. A
graver error could scarcely be committed by any stallion
owner. The very thing which makes stallions restless, fret-
ful and ill-tempered is secluded confinement — "solitary con-
finement," if you please.

Nothing else so irritates a stallion as hearing and smell-
ing other horses which they cannot see. Allow a stallion
plenty of associates, at least "distant acquaintances," and he
will be about as well contented as any other horse. Give
him a paddock, inclosed by an open fence — open enough for
him to see everything that comes near him, and there will
be no mad rearing and plunging because he knows there are
horses somewhere near but which he cannot see.

Stallions need no more be treated like wild beasts than
mothers-in-law need be treated as naturally and necessarily
meddlesome and trouble-making; Kindness and judicious
treatment will usually make either very companionable. —

At Hulnart Stock Faim.

We wish to call the attention of those who will breed
thoroughbred mares this year to the advertisement of the
Australian horse Tarcoola, now standing for service at Ruin-
art Stock Farm in Sonoma county. He was the winner o
the Melbourne Cup in 1893, the Williamstown Cup, Queen's
Birthday Handicap, Anniversary Stakes, etc., and is now
thoroughly acclimated. He is better bred for a sire, accord-
ing to the Bruce Lowe system, than probably anv horse in
the world, being by Newminster [3), from Imogene, by King
of the Ring (81, with little but "sire blood" in the first four
removes, having two crosses of Stockwell (3), Leaming-
ton (14), Ace of Clubs (8), Touchstone (14), Faugh-a*
Ballagh (11), Newminster (English) (8) and Flying Dutch
man (3). He is himself a No. 12, the line of Lexington
Salvator, Luke Blackburn, Grinstead and other track cele.
brities. Tarcoola is a "big-little" horse, standing a shade
under 15.2, yet weighing close to 1300 pounds. A three yea*
old by him recently took first priza at the Ballarat Horse
Show against twenty odd competitors. He is spoken of by
the Australasian as "the even-shaped, sound-coostitutioned
Tarcoolo." Among other things said about him by one of
the leading turf writers on that paper is the following : "This
same Tarcoola is an old and dear friend of mine, whose etud
future I will watch with the same interest I took in his tur
doings, and I only trust that my money will be cared for by
his sons and daughters as it was by their honest cast-iron
dad. Tarcoola comes from a sire line that is here to stay.
Staying and sire lines remind me of the number of grea
stayers Newminster got, ard also of the great value of this
beautiful blood in a pedigree." Then he goes on into the
intricacies of the Lowe system at a great length, and pre-
dicts a great stud future for the Melbourne Cup hero of 1893.
At the same farm the stallions Ruinart and Primrose wil|
also make a BeaBon. _

Satsuma, who will be offered at the auction of Dr.
Rowell's horses at Oakland, February 8th, won the Burns
Handicap in 1898, running the mile and a quarter with 122
pounds up in 2:07$ He baB won at all distances from live
furloogs to a mile and a quarter and holds the Pacific Coast
record for nix furlongs in 1:12$. He has won over 120,000
in purses and stakes in California within the last three years.

DISTRICT FAIR DIRECTORS should realize that
they have the important duty to perform this year of
trying to make their fairs and race meetings successful
from every point of view. Beiauee some of the fairs
held in California in former years have not been very
creditable expositions of the products of the locality in
which they were given is no reason why the fairs of 1900
should be like them. Everyone realizes that there is a
great deal of hard and thankless work in the management
of a district fair, but if s'arted right and the proper per-
sons placed in charge, expositions can be given that will
redound to the credit of all concerned and be of great
benefit to the district and people therein. The State has
voted money to the agricultural districts for the purpose
of aiding these annual shows for several reasons. One
is that a well arranged display of the best products of
the district will be an object leapon as to its resources
and by showing what can be accomplished by intelligent
industry, elevate the standard of all products. Another
is that better farm products bring higher prices, and
higher prices bring more profit and therefore more of
the luxuries of life to the producer and make him more
contented and a better citizen. Highly productive soil
makes smaller farms, closer neighbors, oetter roads,
more and better schools and leads to an advanced civili-
zation. The district boards of directors should take all
these things into consideration, and so manage the an-
nual fair that it will be of vast benefit to the district. It
should be the annual gathering of the people where op-
portunity is given all to see what has been accomplished
by the district in the past and what is the best to do in
the future. As far back as the memory of any living
American runneth the county fair has been the occasion
when speed contest* between horses have been up for
annual decision. The good old custom yet prevails and
though in late years there have been innovations that
have detracted from the enjoyment of these contests,
they can easily be remedied and the races made as en-
joyable as in former years. The races are the amuse-
ment portion of the lair program and are held in high
esteem by the neople. Speed in a horse is a great de-
ciders urn when a price is to be obtained for him. It can
' i;ly " 5 tested by actual racing, and the fair ground is

the court wherein is decided the supremacy of the breeds.
Having provided a first class fair and stock exhibit the
directors should provide a first class speed program and
see to it that it is carried out in a first class manner.
To accomplish this they should offer as large purses as
they possibly can, always remembering that the more
liberal the purses the more numerous the entries and
therefore the Bmaller will the cost be to the association.
A good racing program will require competent men in
the judges stand and prompt and efficient officials in
charge of everything. That modern innovation on race
tracks in this country, the bookmaker, Bhould not be
permitted to ply his vocation at district fairs no matter
how liberal his offer for the privilege. The more he
pays the fewer horses will be honestly driven. Provide
auction or mutual pools for those who like to wager a
few dollars on their favorite, but try to make the gate a
larger source of revenue than the betting privilege. In-
duce the people to attend your fair by convincing them
that it will be well worth their while to do so. Give
them a good display of products of farm, field and fac-
tory, provide a live stock display that will be high class
and instructive, arrange for each afternoon a program of
good speed contests, see to it that they are honestly car-
aied out and the district fair will again be what it was
intended, and the State's lawmakers will feel more in-
clined to increase the appropriations for them instead of
cutting them down.

THE BREEDING SEASON has begun in California
with every prospect of three times the business being
done that was transacted last year. The owners <J
mares need have no fears of its being overdone, as there
are not enough individually good and well bred mares
and stallions left in California to supply the demand that
will exist three years from now were they all mated this
spring. It must be borne in mind, however, that poorly
formed and poorly bred animals of any kind are not
now and never will be in demand sufficient to make
their raising profitable. The fupply of good horses is
about exhausted. Buyers from the East and Europe are
now in California and are unable to find all the devel-
oped horses they want at any price. This state of affairs
is not a temporary one, but is certain to continue. There
has been a tremendous weeding out in the breeding
ranks during the past four years, and although there are
too many weeds still remaining, not half enough good
broodmares are left in the State to supply the demand
for good young horses that will be wanted during the
next five years were every one of them to be bred regu-
larly during that time. The reports from Chicago, New
York and other horse selling centres are all alike. Good
horses are ready sale at good prices. The Europeans
want more than they can find. High class carriage and
draft horses are scarce. Good trotting prospects are
eagerly sought after and the price for a top notcher is
unlimited. Pacers are not quite so much in demand but
a good one will sell readily at a high figure. Those who
own broodmares or good fillies should take advantage of
the occasion and book them to the best available
stallions. Read the paper read by Col. Exall of Dallas,
Texas, before the National Live Stock Association at its
Forth Worth convention last month and printed in
another part of this issue. There are no better posted,
more successful or more conservative men than he and
his words are worth heeding. There are Btanding for
service in California this year some of the best stallions
in America. Any man with intelligence who has given
the subject of horse breeding any consideration at all can
find among our advertised stallions horses that, will pro-
duce profitable colts if mated with his mares, and we
commend our columns to our readers, knowing that
there is not an inferior horse there mentioned. The
upward tendency of the horse market will continue for
several years. Now is the time to take advantage of it.

vide for the greatest number. The Breeder and
Sportsman, desiring to do everything in its power to
assist the associations and the horsemen alike, has
arranged the blank in question and aBks every harness
horse owner and trainer on the Coast to fill it out in
accordance with the instructions therein printed and
mail the same to this office. State what classes will suit
you best for the trotters and pacers and give the number
of horses you have in training. ThiB information will
be of inestimable value to the secretaries of the State
Agricultural Society, the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders' Association and the various district boards
and will enable them to prepare purses that have a cer-
tainty of filling and therefore to offer generous purses
for the same. The more entries there are in sight the
more money will be hung up, and the more successful
will the Bummer racing season be. Read the blank
over, fill it out carefully and send it to the Breeder
and Sportsman office as soon as possible. A general
response from horsemen will result in much good to all
concerned.

THE ATTENTION of trainers and the owners of
horses in training is called to a blank printed on the
opposite page which they are requested to fill out and
forward to this office. The secretaries of the different
district and other associations in California always find
one of the greatest difficulties in arranging a program to
be a lack of knowledge of the horses in training, and it
often happens that the classes which are expected to get
the largest number of entries secure less than sufficient
to fill them, while those which were considered to have
but little chance of filling will receive overflowing en-
tries. On this Coast the training grounds are scattered
from Los Angeles to Seattle and it is very difficult for the
secretaries of associations to form any idea of the num-
ber of horseB in training and the classes that will pro-

THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT of District Fairs will
probably furnish seven weeks of harness racing prior to
the opening of the State Fair at Sacramento, as it is
now almost certain that meetings will be held at Redding,
Red Bluff, Chico, Colusa, Willows, Marysville and
Woodland, which will necessitate the opening meeting
to take its dates in the week beginning July 15th. If
meetings are held in the Napa, Sonoma and Solano dis-
tricts and they desire to hold them before the State Fair,
there may be a conflict of dates, and the Breeder and
Sportsman offers the suggestion that all the above ten
districts can easily get together and effect amicable
arrangements that will be of benefit to all concerned.
The idea so prevalent in some of the districts that
June and July are too early for fair and race meet-
ings is an erroneous one, as it is almost invari-
ably the case that there are larger fields of entries at
the earlier meetings, better attendance at the tracks
and more satisfaction all around than is the case
when they are held during the fall months. The
first of July is not too early to begin racing in Cali-
fornia, and the association that can include the "glorious
Fourth" in its dates will gather in heavier gate receipts
than can be had on any other week in the year. There
is no reason why the Northern Circuit of fairs cannot
consist of ten meetings instead of Beven with dates all
amicably arranged so that there will be no "doubling
back" on the railroads. The dates selected by the
six associations that have already claimed their dates
can hardly be improved upon as they stand, and other
districts north of the bay that desire to enter the circuit
shuuld precede these meetings.

THE TROTTING HORSE is again the fashionable
horse of America and wealthy citizens all through the
East are investing in them. It is said that a dozen new
stock farms for the breeding of trotters have been estab-
lished in Kentucky alone during the past three montbB
and all are backed by plenty of capital. The best feature
of this revival of a great industry is the fact that the
men who are investing their money are spending it for
quality insttad of quantity and there is no fear that these
farms will overstock the market. One well known stal-
lion owner, who has made a wonderful success with his
horse, now insists that the horee shall not be mated with
a mare in the future unless her first, second and third
dams are high class; they must be producers or from pro-
ducing families on both sides clear through. It will le
readily seen that the produce of this breeder's stal-
lion will not be numerous, but they will be valuable
which is better. Other breeders are following in the
same line. The owners of high class stallions are no
longer willing to breed them to anything that comes
along and the result cannot help being a vast improve-
ment in the horses of the future. The prices of good
horses are advancing all the time but the culling process
is going on just the same on those farms where good
business principles, thought, intelligence- and good judg-
ment are used. The American trotter is to-day the best
all round horse in the word, but he has not reached the
acme of his development by considerable.

INOCULATION against glanders is being performed
on every horse and mule shipped to the Philippines or
Hawaii from this port by the United States Army, as a
possible preventive against glanders. The system of vac-
cination was adopted some time since in the army and
every horse must now be vaccinated or as the veterinaries
term it, malleined, before shipment. The operation

which is a very simple one, may be witnessed almost any
day at the Presidio, where an army veterinary puts the
animals through the process which shall make them proo
against the disease most dreaded by horsemen, and forf
which there has never yet been discovered a cure. The
discovery of malleine, which appears to possess such
magical properties, was discovered in the same manner
as other tosines, the microbe that produces glanders
being discovered and afterwards isolated, and the result-
ing toxine being christened by the name quoted. Inoc-
ulation is performed with a large hypodermic syringei
so adjusted that if the horse kicks under the operation
it will conform to his movements. . So far the process
Beems to have been effective, no case of glanders having
been reported from any equine patient.

Reminiscent.

DR. ROWELL has decided to sell a number of his
horses in training as he has so many two year olds com.
ing on, and has engaged the leading auctioneers Chase
& Mendenhall to dispose of them in the paddock at Oak-
land track Friday, February 9th. The horses to be sold
include that grand race horse Satsuma, one of the best
individuals in America, and a horse that should make a
good sire. Dr. Bernays, Tom Cromwell, Whitcomb and
other good ODes are to be offered at this sale and it will
afford buyers a chance to get horses that can win money
right away as all are in actual training.

C. W. Williams, the Galeeburg horseman, recently said
in an interview: "I sold all my broodmares except eleven
but expect to buy more. Of course, the mares I want are
hard to find, and even when discovered are not always for
sale. My idea is that every foal by Allerton Bhall have three
or four good mares ia its maternal pedigree — not one — and 1
don't want to breed to any other kind. It is in order to
secure {this sort of mares that I have sent Allerton to Ken-
tucky two seasons, and X shall probably have him there in
1900. The mares are bred on shares, and when the foals are
yearlings they are all brought to Lexington on a specified
day. I-look each one over carefully, and then we have a
blind ballot, the owner of each mare writing on a slip of paper
the amount he is willing to give for my half of the foal,
while I write on another slip what I will pay for his half.
The man making the higbeBt bid, of course, gets the colt, and
I think so much of the Allertons that they generally fall to
me. JuH where I shall locate has not been decided, but a
removal from Galesbrjrg ia certain. My plan will simply be
to keep a band of select broodmares, sell the yearlings every
fall, and let other people develop them aod profit by en
hanced values."

Among the guests at the Palace is Max Gross of Berlin,
Germany, who is known throughout Europe as an importer
and trainer of hordes. DuriDg the last five years he has im.
ported 40C0 highly bred borees into Germany from this
country and is now on the Coast to make some extensive
purchases. To thiB eod he expectB to visit the Palo Alto
and Rsggin ranches during the npjti few davg.

Regarding the famous race at Kalamazoo, Mich , in 1859,
when Flora Temple toofc her record of 2:19|, veteran George
P. Floyd, one of the few eye-witnesses of the event, writes
the American Horse Breeder:

There are some circumstances connected wilh that race
that I have never seen in print, although the race was talked
about for years afterward, I witnessed the race and remem-
ber the circumstances as well as though it were but yesterday.
Flora Temple's record was 2:22 before she trotted that race.
McMann drove Flora, Jim Eoff drove Princess and John
Eyclesbeimer drove Honest Anse. Jim Eoff was "oil from
de can." He was a tough cuss and a great master of hum-
bug. He would like awake nights trying to study up some
kind of a scheme to beat the boys.

Flora Temple won the first heat of this race in 2:32J. In
the second round Honest Anse went at her, and drove her
out in 2 : 2 2 -j . Between the second and third heals Eoff bet,
or pretended to bet, $500 that Princess would win the next
heat. That set the pot to boiling. It rattled McMann.
He knew Princess was fast, and he was afraid of her.
Although Eoff had agreed to let Flora win every heat and
race McMann knew he was a wolf. McD nald told McMann
that he would not have Flora beaten for $10,000, and if
Princess beat her he "would take the mare away from him'
Now, the truth of the matter was, Eoff's bet of $500 was a
myth. He had no idea that he could beat Flora with
Princess, but he wanted to make her stretch her neck and
get a fast record so that she would get out of his way. He
had the horse Frank Forrester (Ike Cook) that he wanted to
manipulate, and Flora was in his way. Another thing, he
wanted to catch some of the suckers. Ma jy believed in
Eta and a lot of jays shoved up their monev on Princess,
and Eoff had his imps out taking it into camp.

Honest Anse was drawn after the second heat. Eoff sent
Princess after Flora hammer and tongs in the third heat, and
carried her to the half in 1:10. At the head of the home-
stretch both mares were lapped. Here Eoff sang out to Mi"
Mann that he would bet him $200 he'd beat him home.
McMann was rattled and scared to death. He lifted and
shook Flora up and kept at her till they passed the score,
never looking bacs to see where Princess was. Flora crossed
the line in 2:192, wilh Princess eight or ten lengths back of
her. When the time was hnng out bedlam broke loose.
Nothing like it had ever been done before. Hats, canes,
umbrellas, handkerchiefs and bonnets went into the air.
While Jim Eoff was shaking hie sides with laughter, Jim
McMann's face was as sour as vinegar. He had shown up
his mare, and he did not get a cent extra for doing it. Jim
Eoff had gained his point, and Flora was out of his way.

yards in the whole mile and a half. The bear lumbered
along with leaps equal to a greyhound, and his pursuer did
not have a chance to cut bim out from hie retreat.

"I went over th6 course the next day to verify the story,
for it sounded fishy to me. I found that the bear had made
jnmps from 15 to 20 feet in length, and that the ground had
been cot up by hie claws so that it looked as if a harrow had
been running over it. For that reason I would advise no
man to try a foot race with a grizzly."

Among the horses belonging to Parkville Farm which
Andy McDowell is handling are some very speedy youngsters
which should develop winning speed, besides some well
known horses with records. They are as follows : Fleece, a
three year old by Director, dam Nancy Stamm, by Stambonl,
out of the dam of Nancy Hanks. Ora Woods, a three year
old, by Ora Wilkes, dam Mystic, the dam of Fred Kohl and
Mystery, which is well thought of. Pasonte, the bay mare

wonderfully well, and the chances are great that she will
prove a prominent factor on the trotting turf next season.
During the season of 1898 she showed 2:10 epeer*; in fact was
only beaten a nose by Tommy Britton at that time, over the
Cleveland track. Last season, on acconnt of the death of her
owner, she was only given road work. Argos' Director, out
of the dam of Crafty, is an exceedingly good prospect. Susie
T. 2:09$, by Ambassador, dam Nell, by Estil Eric, 16 a pacer
of high degree and promises to excel her record the coming
season. Dolly Phoebe is a five year old which is receiving
much attention. My Trinket, by Stamboul, dam Trinket.
Town Lady 2:114, foaled in 1892 at Lexington by Wilton,
dam Kadijth, by Red Wilkes, is looking good, and it is
thought will be able to win in her class next season. Baron
Artus, a three year old cheetnut gelding, by Artus, dam
Octavia, by Baron Wilkes, is a faBt, good gaited green one
that should be up among the winners. Emir is a chestnut
gelding three years old, by Advertiser, out of Emma Rob-
son, a thoroughbred mare. With this lot Parkville Farm
ou£,ht to cut a prominent figure down the line next season.

Horse and Bear Race.

"Some people think that a grizzly can't run," said A. J
Daggs, of Ptceaix, Ariz. " I want to state right now thatt
while the bear is a clumsy beast, he can cover as much
ground as the average saddle horse, and a man should be
sore that he has a good mount before he tries to get out Of
the way of one which is angry. My brother was out in the
mountains of the territory, among the sheep ranches, one
day when he saw, about 250 yards ahead of bim, a big, awk-
ward silver tip. My brother had a rifle, but he was not cer_
tain that he would kill the bear if he shot, and he did not
know how a race would turn out. He was mounted on one
of the best horses in the country, for a man needed one in
those days. He knew that the bear would not fight unlep8
wounded or cornered, and he thought he would like to see
how he would run againBt his horse.

"He was pretty certain that the bear would run from him
if he could once get him started in the opposite direction
aod so he gave a regular cowboy yell. The bear looked up,
and started shuffling off toward the mountain, about a mile
and a half away. My brother spurred hts horse and it lit
out after the grizzly, at the same time keeping up the pierc-
ing 'Yeep-yeep' of the cowboy. The bear soon got into the
running, and the way he got over that ground was a caution.
My brother saw that the brute was getting away from him,
and he urged his horse o the utmost, but he did not gain 10

One of the California trotters which came East early Iast
summer and was expected to prove a worthy rival to The
Abbot, was the fast Monterey 2:09}. Something was wroDg
with the horse, however, and he never showed the form the
western contingent had prophesied, proving a rather unsatis-
factory horse to bet on in most of his races. Monterey is
coming in for more discussion now, as there is a dispnte as
to the identity of his Bire. The book has given it Sidney)
but it is claimed by some who are reliable that Simmocolon
is the sire of this trotter. As both 8idney and 8immocolon
were in California, a statement is made that the credit o*
Monterey was given Sidney to help along his big list, as
Simmocolon was not then regarded from the standpoint of
the stock farm- Ooe thioe which has kept the matter from
being aired is the fact that George Hammond owns Simmo-
colon and has him at Ypsilanti, and Will Hammond has
Sidney out at Pootiac, and it wouldn't be very good taste for
two brothers to get into an argument of this sort. — Detroit

When the first horse to trot in 2:10 was first named it was
J. I. C, the initials of his owner's name. When he made
his first start at the old West Side track, in 1881, the clerk in
the pool room at the Palmer House was writing the names of
the starters on the board, aod when he came to J. I. C , he
asked the clerk who was calling ofl : "How do you spell it?"
His answer was : "I don't know." The man with the chalk
wrote it on the board "Jay Eye See," and so it went.

8peedways are becoming popular in every American
city.

Redding has asked for a date in the Northern California
circuit.

Rules for speedway contests are to be adopted by the
road riders in New York.

Some one has figured it out that of the 292 2:10 pacers,
seventy-five made their records with the aid of hopples.

The $25 000 offer for Jupe 2:07£ was made by Thomas W-
LawBon, Boston, through James Golden &cd Herbert Gray,

J. J. Conner, of Salinas, is driving his fine trotting geld-
ing, Shelby 2:19^, by Wilkes Moor, on the road this winter.
Shelby makes an ideal road horse.

The omission of a figure made our Los Angeles corre-
spondent Bay last week that there was a crowd ot 200 at the
matinee racing in that city January 20th. It should have
read 2000, and some estimated the crowd at still larger.

Direct is having mares booked to him every day. He
never looked as well as he does now, A number of his get
will be trained in California this year, and we predict right
now that this State will add three or four to his 2:20 list
before "the ides of November."

Mb. A. F. Stice of Los Angeles, who purchased Beech-
wood 2:10^ a few weeks ago, has sold the daughter of Silk-
wood to Mr. Joseph Desnael of Los Angeles, who will use
her for matinee lacing. Our Lob Angeles correspondent
states that Beechwood worked a half in 1:05 before the sale
and that Mr. Stice doubled his money on her.

Ed. Geebs owned only a half interest in the $10,000
Direct Hal. Chafee Bros., Spring Hill, Tenn , owned the
other half.

Vidette 2:16 by Alexander Button is believed to be
safely in foal to Altamont and was the first mare bred to him
this year.

Gaff Topsail's owner offers a purse of $250 for the get of
his horse to comest for as three year olds in 1904 on the
Vallejo'ftrack.

McKinney was taken to Fleasanton this week. He i
looking better than he ever did in his life and is one of the
handsomest horses in America.

Arthob. W. 2:11J has his book nearly full as he is to be
bred to but ten mares He is looking wonderfully well and
J.M.Nelson says he likes him better every time he jogs
him.

Dictatus 2:18£, one of the best bred horses in the country
and the sire of L»ic tairess 2:12|, will make the season of 1900
at Salinas where a dozen or more mares have already been
booked to him.

The Golden Gale Park Driving Asbociation has secured
the Oakland track for matinee racing May 30ih. President
Thos. H. Williams very kindly gave the use of the grounds
and track tree to the association.

Fill oat the blank headed "What Classes Do Yon Want?'
published in this issue and send it to this office immediately.
It will enable Secretaiies to get out their programs early if
trainers will attend to the matter promptly.

The first foal at Palo Alto this year is a brown filly by
Dexter Prince out of Elden (3) 2:19£ by Nephew; second
dam by Electioneer; third dam Sallie Gardner, thoroughbred
mare by Vandal. The little miss arrived January 9ih. She
has been christened Princess Elden.

Chas. Derbv 2:20 and Owyhee 2:11, will stand for public
service at Oakwood Park Stock Farm, the former at a fee of
$100, the latter at $50 for the season. Some notes on these
stallions, their performances and blood lines will appear next
week il the Bbeedeb and ^pobtsman.

Diablo 2:09J will get a still larger number of new per-
formers in 1900 than be did in 1899. There is not one that
is being worked this year hat is showing speed enough to
beat 2:30. Diablo will have a number of every choice mares
booked to him this year — the best lot he has ever been mated
with.

G. Lapham, of Alameda, has leased from Mr. Fraser the
stallion Secretary by Director and will make the season of
1900 with him at the Alameda track. Secretary is one of
the greatest sires of style, eizs and good looks ever in this
State and all his get have speed. He is a grand looking
horse.

L, M. Ladd, of Hollister, recently purchased from G. P.
McNear, of Hollister, a four year old full blood Clvdesdale
stallion by Buflalo Bill out of imported Maid of the Mist,
the purchase price being $1000. Robert I. Orr, of Hollister,
has a full brother to this borse and both are grand specimens
of the breed.

But one mare has two daughters that have each produced
two 2:12 performers. Mary by Flaxtail has that honor.
She is the dam of Lettie by Wayland Forrtet, who produced
Wayland W. 2:12$ and Welcome 2:10*. She is also the
dam of Grace by Buccaneer, wbo produced Daedalion 2:11
and Creole 2:15.

The Nutwood Driving Clab, of Dubuque, la., is prepar-
ijg for a big race meeting for 1900, which will in every
aspect equal or exceed its former meeunga, and that is

aying a great deal, for last year the purees were very valu-
able, and the men who are at the head of this organisation

now no Buch thing as fail.

C. A. DrjBFEE is receiving letters from all over the Pacific
Coast in regard to the breeding of mares to his great horse
and will book the greatest lot of mares this year the son of
Aicyone has ever been mated with. That "champion siie of
2:15 performers at twelve years of age" is a drawing card
sure to those who want the sort that can win the money.

Nutwood Weeks, the dam of Ethel Downes 2:lfj. is
heavy with foal to Altamont and will be booked to him
again. This mare is now i wenty years of age, but doesn't
look half of it. She was foaled the year her dam (Lady
Weeks by Williamson's Belmont) was twenty -six years old
and has inherited her remarkable vigor.

Sam Hoy will have another fast performer by Bays
water Wilkes, Bire of Kelly Brigga 2:10£, this year. The
pedigree of Bayswater Wilkes, as given in these columns a
few weekB ago has attracted a great deal of attention. His
fourth dam the thoroughbred race mare Fannie Howard iB
also the dam of Fire tail, the son of Norfolk that sired the
dam of Miss Logan 2:06^.

Gus Lindaueb, the well known liveryman and horse
dealer of 862 Howard street, this city, recently purchased a
car load of draft horses at Gilroy, Santa Clara county, for
shipment to British Columbia. Nine of the horses were
purchased from Henry Miller and two from S. N. Maze.
They averaged 1600 pounds each, brought an average of $160,
and were a fine lot of horses.

C. M. Barney, formerly Secretary of the Woodland Dis-
trict Fair Association but now a resident of Gilroy, passed
through San Francisco last week after a scjourn of two weeks
at his old home in Woodland. He reports a deep interest
being taken by the Woodlanditea in the proposed fair this
year and thinks Secretary C. F. Thomas, aided by the Di-
rectors, will make it a great succesB.

Tbainkb Robinson has begun work on three young
horses, and is occupying stalls at G. Lapham's "Horse Hotel
and Speed School." Mr. Robinson has the good gelding
Dolador five years old by Advertiser out of Dolly Nutwood,
and Agate, a six Year old by Boxwood out of Lady Agnes
by Electioneer. Both these geldings were bred at Palo Alto
Farm and are very promising green horses.

Clarence D&y has four or five trotters and pacers at his
home on Central avenue in Alameda and is working them on
the Alameda track. Two of them are by Dictatus and two
by Clarence Wilkes out of a mare by Fallis. The last two
mentioned are three and four years old respectively and are
square trotters. Both are very promising. They belong to
W. J. Gillespie of Bedding and will probably be raced this
year.

Kentucky Baron, a royally bred son of the great Baron
Wilkes, and the only stallion by that horse now stand ng
for service in California, will make the season of 1900 at
Colusa to a limited number of mares, and will be campaigned
this year. Kentucky Baron is a grand individual and his
breeding is unsurpassed. There is a three year old by him
now being worked at Chico that is expected to be one of the
surprises of the year when racing begins.

B. E. Whidi>en of Santa Cruz has booked a mare to
Altamont this year. She is by a son of Mambrino WilkeB
out of a full sister to the dam of Loupe 2:09J- Mr. Whid-
den called at the Bbeedeb and Sportsman office last
Wednesday, having just returned from a visit to T. E.
Keating at Pleasanton, and had many complimentary re-
marks to make of the approved appearance of everything at
that celebrated training ground.

The only mare that has produced four 2:15 performers is
Nell, a roan mare by Estell Eric out of a mare bv Embry's
Lexington. 8he is the dam of Belle Vara 2 :08|, Vassar
2:07, Susie T. 2:09| and Ambidexter 2:11|. The thorough-
bred "close up" has certainly tfflicted Nell with the speed
producing disease- Those theorists who think there is noth-
ing but harm to result from the introduction of the "hot
blood," should have Nell quarantined.

Grace Kaiser, the dam of McZeus2:13, and Coney 2:07:}
will be bred to Nutwood Wilkes this year. A gentleman in
San Mateo has written to Mr. Carter stating that be desires
to book ten mares to his great young horse. Juan Galleeos,
of Mission San Jose, has a giand looking yearling by Nut-
wood Wilkes, out of Sable, the dam of Sable Wilkes 2:lS.and
has already bred the old mare to him again this year. Nut-
wood WilkeB will have a very choice lot of mares mated with
him this season.

Dick: Benson, of KansaB City, visited Pleasanton the
other day and was so taken with the apoearance of Clipper
2:09£, bv Diablo 2:091, that he offered his owner C. A.
Durfee $2000 for him and then raised it to $2100, which
was refuBed. He also offered Mr. Durfee $750 for Miss
Jessie 2:14 by GoSBJper, but Du fee wanted $1000 and
that trade failed. Durfee told him he could have t em
both for $3000. but Mr. Benson said he only wanted
one. Since then Mr. Durfee worked Clipper a slow
mile letting him step the last eighth prettv well and
was so pleased with him that he raised the price to $3000
and is not anxious to sell him at that.

Elias Williams is rapidly recovering from the results of
his recent accident and is driving Silver Bow Jr. again.
Last Suoday Ike Morehouse and Dan Deonison visited the
Alameda track and Mr. Williams trolted Silver Bow Jr. out
for inspection. This handsome big stallion was taken with
that disease resembling distemper that was so prevalent last
vear and was thrown out of training. Ha bat. only been
jigged this winter but is looking in splendid condition.
"Doc" warmed him up a little and let him step through the
stretch while Mr. Morehouse held the watch. He was not
urged and in fact Williams held him back, but he trotted an
eighth in 174 seconds and did it so nicely that all who saw
the performance were highly pleased with it and ready to
predict a fast mark for him. He has a little too much action
if anything, but is as square as a die and not inclined to mix
in the least. He could show 2:12 speed right now if asked,
and is one of the best individuals in the State.

Hambletonian Wilkes will have a good patronage this
year. Col. Moorhead is receiving letters every day from
breedeis who wish to mate their mares to this great sod of
George Wilkes. A three year old by him is "the best looking
colt in California," according to an Eastern gentleman who
loostd him over at San Jose recently after a tour of the
leading stock farms.

One of the handsomest broodmares in California iB Oak-
vine Maid 2:26. by Whippleton. She belongs to Mr. John
Lutgen, the well known wine merchant of this city, who has
two very fine looking foals from her by Altamont, a yearling
and a two year old. She is not with foal this year and is be-
ing given a little track work by J. M. Nelson at the Alameda
track and can Bbow better than a 2:20 clip already. Mr.
Nelson has recently received from Humboldt county a big
six year old gelding that is a brother in blood to Iora 2:11J,
being by Ira and out of a mare by Pascora Hayward. ThiB
fellow never had a days track work in his life and when
Nelson received him had 21 ounce shoes in front and 16 be-
hind. With these on his feet and hitched to a big high
wheeled cart that weighs 140 pounds he marched off a
quarter in 38 seconds the first time Nelson hooked him np
and he thinks he will do to train. He is a big rangy fellow
and his legs and feet are perfect. The colt by Alexis in Mr.
Nehon's string is one of the grandest looking youngsters in
California We are promised a picture of him when the
Bun shines.

G. Lapham is getting his stalls full at the Alameda track
and will soon be making speed with =ome of his charges. He
has a black pacer that he calls .Robert H. and which is go-
ing to make the green ones step better than 2:15 the first
time they start this year. He is by Pilot Prince out of a
mare by Steinway. Mr. Lapham has a good looking black
stallion called Sir Roderick Jr. which is one of the three
which comprise all that Sir Roderick, son of Dictator and
Prospect Maid by George Wilkes, ever sired, Phcebe Childers
2:12, being another. Sir Roderick Jr. Bhows the Wilkes
blood in a marked degree and has a very promising way of
going May Melody is the euphonious name that nas been
bestowed on a black mare owned by W. Ford Thomas, the
well known customs adjuster of this city. This mare is one
of the handsomest animals in California, and Mr. Lapham is
confident that she will get a low mark this year if raced. She
is a natural trotter, pure gaited and very speedy and when in
motion is a perfect picture of graceful action. She is by
Secretary out of a daughter of Rustic, second dam by
Whippleton, thiid dam by Gladiator.

Robert S.Bbown of Petaluma has purchased the stallion
Meridian 2:12^ by Simmocolon (sire of Dan Q 2:07i) out of
Sidane by Sidney; second dam Addie 8. by Steinway; third
dam Aldaoe by Wissabickon 947; fourth dam Winthrop
Girl by Winthrop 505; fifth dam by Chieftain 721; sixth
dam by Billy Wallace, sod of Snowstorm. Meridian is a
royally bred borse and was a race horse. He was foaled in
1892 and his first race was in this city in 1896. It was a eix
heat race and Meridian won the firBt and second heats, taking
a record of 2:20 and paced a game race throughout being
close to the winner Strathmont 2:121- in the last heat and
getting second money in a field of ten. At Napa he had an-
other six heat race which he won, lowering his record to
2:16i, The next year he started in seven races meeting nearly
all the best pacers on the California circuit and won four
firBt moneys, was once second and twice fourth, closing the
season with a record of 2:12}. He has not been raced since.
Meridian is a very handsome horse and should sire extreme
speed if mated with good mares. Mr. Brown will place him
in the stud at his farm near Petaluma at a fee for the season
of $25.

H. R Ward, who for several years prior to the death of
the late W. H. Crabb was the trainer of the horses bred and
owned at Tokalon Slock Farm in Napa county, has opened a
public training stable at the Alameda track. He has three
promising young horses in his string already and will have
several new ones Bent to him within the next two weeks. A
five year old mare by Diablo 2:09|, owned by J. D. Horan
of thiB city, iB certain to be heard from if raced, as is a four
year old by Allen WilkeB that is the property of J. S. Taylor
of Napa. Both are very speedy and have a nice way of
going. Mr. Ward has a fine big six year old gelding in
charge that is endowed with a very generous amount of good
looks and style and when informed that he waB by The Dane,
a son of Stamboul and Dolly McMann the dam of Lilly
Stanley 2:174, we could see the strong likeness of the sire in
him. It will be remembered that The Dane was bred by
present United States Attorney F. L. Coombs, who sold him
in New York where he took several prizes in the horse
shows. This promising son is owned by Mr. Ludwig of this
city. Mr. Ward is a careful and painstaking trainer and has
been very successful ffith trotters and pacers.

Dk. H. Latham, who had the gray mare Secret 2:26£ by
Secretary worked two years ago at the Alameda track, says
it is undoubtedly the best place to train horBes there is in
California. Here are some of the advantages he claims for
the track: Ease of access from the metropolis being but 35
minutes ride by two lines from San Francisco at a cost of a
dime. Good climate. A track which will positively not
sore horses and which can be used more days in the year
than any track in America. Excellent streets for jogging on
in rainy weather. A mile straight away in addition to the
circular track and just as good, thus furnishing the oppor-
tunity of variety and preventing horses from getting track
bout. A beach within half a mile where horses can be daily
waded in salt water, a course of treatment that is the very
best to keep the feet and legs in good condition. The beet
of hay and grain to be obtained by the pound or ton at a
moment's notice. Grass paddocks adjoining stall or within
ten minutes' walk where horses can be given a run to grass.
All these and a few more that we do not recall are the
reasons the Doctor gave for his claim that Alameda track is
the best place to train horses he ever saw. The Doctor's
mare Secret is now in charge of Chas. Marvin at Lexington
and is said to have more speed than she ever had, which is
saying a good deal, as the writer of this paragraph saw her
trot a quarter in 1898 in 32 seconds.

Barney Pchreiber's two year old 61Iy Sofala met defeat
last week for the first time out of five starts. Though beatea
she was not disgraced, as the victory of Duufree was un-
questionably due to Ibe advantage gained at the start, which
was one of Mr. Ferguson's worst exhibitions.

The finish in the mile and a sixteenth between 8cotch
Piaid, Merops, Opponent and Wyoming was of the most ex-
citing ever seen, heads only separating the four contestants.
Everv foot of the last fifty yards was gamely struggled for
with first one head in front and then the other, with the
issue in doubt until the last stride was taken.

Stbams is one of the best sons of the great Morello and is
practically unbeatable on a muddy track.

Attend the sale of race horseB in training at the Oakland
track, February 9th. Some good money earners will be

offered

Satsuma and May W. both seem to have seen their beBt
days, neither displaying the speed and form shown in past

Whitcomb has been a more than useful performer in Dr.
Rowell's Btable and is ready to go out and win more races
any day.

Blooming Chance has shown himself to be one of the
fastest horseB iu training and should gain winning brackets
in his next start.

Fotente ran a good race in the mile and a sixteenth,
covering the distance in 1:53 with 109 pounds in the saddle
and winning very easily.

Bendoran took up 122 lbs. and galloped six furlongs in
1:12-]; bad there been anything to force him out a new record
would have been set for the distance.

Jael, a five year old mare brought out her by Mike Daly,
finally succeeded in graduating from the maiden class, after
numerous essays both here and on Eastern tracks.

Dr. H. E. Rowell will sell some of the older members of
bis string, as he has quite a lot of two year olds coming on
which he says will give him all that he can attend to.

Colore, starting for the first time in the colors of her new
owner J. M. Crane, ran a good race, winning easily in l:28*t
for the seven furlongs over a track that was only fair.

Sofala won again from Barney Schreiber and demon-
strated that the bad start one was responsible for her defeat
by the Burns & Waterhouse entry on a previous occasion.

F. W. Doss ran Sly up $700 above her entered price; this
is the second time within a week this has occurred, and
owner Hanlon must find the business of winning selling races
rather an expensive one.

The thoroughbred stallion Pactolas by Uncas, dam
Cadence, purchased by Crawford Bros, of New Jersey for
$225, has been shipped to Ireland, where he will be used in
the stud for breeding hunters.

Cifbiano seems to be a bad betting proposition; on every
occasion of his starting he is heavily backed, and after show-
ing the way to bis field for the first three-eighths drops out
of the running and finishes outside the money.

Dr. Rowell's horses SatBuma, Tom Cromwell, Dr. Ber-
nays, SybariB, Whitcomb and Blooming Chance will be sold
at auction at the Oakland Track on Friday, February 9th,
by Chase & Mendenhall, live stock auctioneers.

Satsuma ought to make a great sire. He is a great race
dorse, there are few better individuals than he in America
or any other country and his breeding is excellent. He will
be sold at auction at the Oakland track Friday, February 9th.

Dr Sheppakd, off to a flying break, held his advantage
throughout and though Dr. Nembula and Flamora closed
stoutly managed to win by a neck; running the mile and a
sixteenth in 1:45}, which equals the Pacific Coast record at
the distance. Had Mr. Ferguson dispatched the field on
even terms the victory would have fallen to other bands as
both the second and third horses ran better races than the
winner. *

Afamada seems to meet with mifortune on every occa-k n
on which she is pitted against Sly; twice within a week these
two mares have met at sis furlongs and in both instances the
victory has gone to Sly on account of the advantage gained
by getting the better of a bad start. It certainly seems a
very unsatisfactory state of affairs whtn the better horse is
repeatedly beaten with no lack of condition or speed on its
part.

Antler, the half-brother to Deerslayer, of which great
things were expected, graduated from the maiden class this
week at Oakland. His win was not a very impressive one,
and there was certainly nothing to spare, aB the first Eeven
horseB finished heads apart. The judges experienced some
difficulty in placing the contestants in such a close finish
and were unable to separate the second and third horses
calling it a dead heat for place and show honors.

Peeseus made his reappearance after a rest of almost two
years and succeeded in defeating Sluttgart and a fairly gC"d
field of horses over a mile of ground. Trainer Murry did
not think well of his chancas as his legs are in bad condition;
so bad that Mr. Murry, but a short time ago, seriously con-
templated destroying the son of King Galop and Nanka. It
is needless to Bay that, under the circumstances, be carried
no stable money, although thirties were readily obtainable
about him in the ring.

Don Cameron cut loese a good thing in the five and a
half furlong race at Oakland last week. Flamora, a son of
Flambeau and Boriar, was to have been made the medium
of an old-fashioned bog slaugh'ering, but euch a hot tip had
been circulated about the horse that the books were very
chary of laying against him; and although tens were his
opening odds, but very little money was accepted at these
figures and his price was quickly cut to six to five. Jenkins,
who had the mount, lay in second place until near the finish,
when be loosened a wrap and galloped in an easy winner.

The Lissak Stake for three year olds and upward was de-
cided at Oakland last Saturday and Bannockburn repeated
his performance of the previous week (in the Turf Congress
Stake), again running the distance in 1:39 fiat. There was
some delay at the start caused by the use of the recall il g,
and when the field was finally dispatched the start was
marred by Dr. Sheppard being allowed to beat the gate sev-
eral lengths; this advantage, however, availed him nothing,
as both the winner and Flamora passed him in the stretch
and beat him to the wire. Flamora was ofl absolutely last
and with an even break would unquestionably have forced
Bannockburn to run in faster time to beat her. The victory
of Schreiber's horse was a very popular one.

Dr. Bernats has won many good races over a distance uf
ground. One of his noteworthy performances was winning
at a mile and an eighth after meeting with an accident
while at cbe post and running away a mile and a half before
the race.

* Tom Cromwell, to be sold by Chase & Mendenhall, the
well known auctioneers February 9tb, was one of the best
handicap horses at New York three years ago and when in
the stable cf Mike Dwyer was ready money in almost all of
hiB starts.

It is announced that the racing Btable and breeding stud
of the late Duke of Westminster will be sold on March 8tb
at public auction with the exception of Orme and Bend Or.
Flying Fox, it is stated, will be offered with a stiff reserve
price on him.

The racing at Oakland on Wedneeday was chiefly re-
markable for the large number of long shot wioners, but two
favorites proving successful. Jennie Reid and Olinthus were
both fortunate to win, the victory in each instance being due
to sheer luck.

A carload of two year olds from E J. Baldwin's Santa
Anita Ranch arrived at Tanforan Park last Wednesday.
There are some fine looking youngsters in the lot which may
be depended upon to give a good account of themselves in
the near future.

Toribio has turned out to be a very useful selling plater;
two years ago, in his three year old form he would stop
badly going six furlongs; now be has won several races at a
mile and last Monday be defeated quite a good field of horses
over a mile and an eighth of ground.

A model of a new starting machine, which will be given
a trial on some of the New Yoik tracks next season, was
exhibited at the recent meeting of the Jockey Club in that
city. The machine is the invention of Samuel Snedecker,
and the inventor is confident that with it the starting of
horses will be vastly improved. The Utile model is ruo by
electricity, and if the bulkier machine moves as smoothly
there may be a place on the race track for this barrier. Tfce
machine is operated on two narrow gauge tracks laid on the
outside of the course, on which are run little trucks. From
each truck a perpendicular wooden post shoots into the air
and a fabric band completes the barrier. Electric wires con-
nect the machine with the starter's box. The barrier is
placed several yards behind the starter, and as the horses
move up for the flag the barrier moves with them. When
the starter is ready to send the horses off be simply presses
the electric button and the posts with the fabric fly into the
air, and the wild scramble for the winning post, is started.
The new machine will have a trial at G ra vesend at the spring

meeting.

THE HARNESS HORSE.

It "Will Take Six Years for the Supply to
Again Equal the Demand.

One of the most successful business men and live stock
breeders of America is Col. Harry Exall of Dallas, Texas,
owner of the Electioneer stallion Electrite, and on whose
farm John PhippeD, late of Palo Alto Stock Farm, is now
the head trainer. At the meeting of the National Live
Stock Association held at Fort Worth on January 17th,
Col. Exall delivered the following address:
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the National Live
Stock Association:

Ou a bright day of October, 1896, a photograph was taken
of a crowd of pleasure seekers in Lincoln Park, Chicago.
There was net a horse in sight, but you could scarcely see
the people for the wheels, and this picture was marked, "The
Passing of the Horse." A photograph of the same spot was
taken October, 1899; this time only one bicycle was in sight,
and that was ridden by a messenger boy, but the park was
filled with handsome equipt-ges drawn by speedy trotters,
and this picture was marked, "The Return of the Horse."
An inspection of the splendid animals that gave so much
life to this scene and pleasure to their owners proved that
the horse most in use was the best type of the American
standard bred trotter — the winner at all distances on all the
tracks of Europe, the horse that has witbin a month reduced
the four mile trouios record of the world, defeating the
mighty Orion"; in the capital city of the Czar of all the
Bassians.

So deeply impressed has the Russian government become
with the great value of the American trotter, that the gov-
ernment officials have recently purchased several thousand
for breeding purposes. More than a year ago an American
trainer was installed in the imperial stud to school the Rus-
sian trainers in the American methods. The superiority of
the American trotter has forced Europeans in self defense to
handicap our trotter to a certain extent to prevent him from
winning everything from their native horses.

In Vienna, Austria, are to be found some of the fastest
American trotters, quite a number having cost their wealthy
Austrian owners $10,000 apiece.

In the great international races at Nice last season, first
second and third money was won by American trotters. So
popular have our horses become in France and Germany
that the local horse breeders of both countries have induced
their respective governments to place an embargo on their
importation, but despite this monetary restriction the trade
with these two countries is constantly increasing.

At the great international horse shows held at Madison-
square Garden, New York, the American trotter has for the
past few years won in all classes — he has out-hackneyed the
Hackney, as he can not only step high, but go fast at the
same time. As a eoachy carriage horse, in either heavy or
light harness, he has defeated all other breeds in the show
ring, and has brought the top prices in the New York and
London markets. Ten thousand dollars has been paid dar.
ing the last season for an extra fine pair of trotting-bred car-
riage horses, by a London customer. 8ixty head of large-
sized trottiog-bied carriage horses, in one consignment, were
sold in New York in December las t for $66,000, aa average
of $1100 each, and a great many pairs changed hands at
prices ranging from $2500 to $5500, quite a number of them
goicg to England.

So much disturbed bave the English Hackney and coach
horse breeders become over the increasing demand for Ameri-
can carriage and coach horses in England, that the London
Live Stock Journal of a very recent date editorially advises
that the horse breeders of Great Erilian send a commission
to the Senate to investigate the methods by which the Ameri-
can breeders have been enabled to produce the splendid type
of harness horse that is attracting so much attention in all
Europe.

It will thus he seen that almost every country in the civil.
ized world is looking to the United States for a supply of
horses.

Our export trade has grown from about 3500 head in 1894
to almost 100,000 in 1899, and there is every indication
that the business is yet in its infancy. The horses so far
sent abroad, whether to race, drive in the parks or for use
in the army, have been most satisfactory, thus insuring large
orders in the future, and fortunately our facilities for raising
high class horses at a comparatively small cost are vastly
superior to those of any other country.

What are we doing to meet this great coming demand ?
Are we sleeping upon our righl&? Let us examine the
actual conditions. From 1894 to 1898, all or nearly all who
owned a slock of horeeB were using their utmost efforts to
sell them. Stallions were castrated and sold for drivers,
the beet individual broodmares were sold and put to work,
and breeding was almoBt totally abandoned in every section
of the United States; farmers sold their mares, and need
geldings or mules for their *ork, and even in the great
horse breeding districts of .Indiana, Ohio and Illinois, in a
who) dar'n ride jo-i would see half a dozen colts following
the? * mothers.

V ire than two third* of the great horse breeding estab-
-Dis io Kentucky ceased active operations and sold

their stock for what it would bring in the open market, at
such ruinously low prices that the whole breeding interest
of the country wsb thoroughly demoralized On the greac
ranges of California, Oregon, the Dakotas and Texas, the
herds of horses were neglected; stallions were shot to stop
the increase, and in many instances premiums were offered
for the removal of the great herds of horses, in order that
cattle, then so rapidly advancing in prices, might grow fat
upon the grasses that were thought to be waBted upon the
unsalable horse.

But despite this unwonted effort to Bell, and the forcing
upon the market net only of the product of the ranges and the
farms, bat also of the very foundation stock itself, and the
further fact that the last crop of the boom days of 1893 and
1894 has just now reached a marketable age, and should, if
conditions were normal, fully supply the demand, the truth
is that the country and its business has grown so rapidly and
the foreign demand ie so great that the stock on hand is en-
tirely inadequate.

There is already an admitted scarcity of salable horses of
all grades. For the first time in twenty years farmers from
the best horse-breeding districts of the great agricultural
sections are now forced to buy work horses ia the St. Louis
and Chicags auction markets. To assist in meeting this un-
usual demand the Union Pacific Railroad has recently closed
a contract to bring from the Oregon ranges into the grain
districts 9000 head of wild range horses to be fitted for use.
If this be the condition of the market now, what will it be
when we have consumed the boom-day horses and the avail-
able animals from the range? and the breeding ranks, and
mUBt depend on the crops of 1895, 1896, 1897 and 1898,when
almost no horses were produced?

Do we fully comprehend the gravity of the situation?
Mark me, we shall see in the near future every grade of use-
ful horses worth twice as much money as his like has ever
sold for, and the bet er grades will be proportionately higher
than the inferior ones. All useful horses will be in great
demand, and it. will take the high dollar to get them. Was
there ever such an opportunity to make money as is now
presented to the intelligent, discriminating horse breeder of
America ? We have a corner on the horse most uciverBally
in demand, we have the cheapest feed on which to raise
him, and the waiting market of the world in which to sell
him.

The American trotter can be made to meet almost any de-
mand. We can breed him to be 15, 15.1, 16 or 17 hands
high, to weigh 900 to 1400 pounds; to trot in 2:30 or better
with a short season's handling, and to road ten miles aj hour
for half a day and go the other fifty miles after dinner, with
pleasure and comfort to his driver and comparative ease to
himself We can breed him to combine the qualities of size,
6tyle, all-around high action, and last the speed that is de-
sired in the ideal carriage team, for which the demand is
already in excess of the supply at prices rangiog from $600
to $10,000. We can breed him to trot in 2:20, 2:10, 2:03,
and presently in two minutes, and he will be quiet: sale at
$1000 to $50,000, with two or more men wanting to buy
everyone of this character that is offered, for there 1b a pile
of money to be won by any trotter that is good in his class,
and for the best outclassed trotter wealthy gentlemen wiil
pay almost fabulous prices to drive away business cares, while
they outstep a friendly rival in a two minute brush on the
great speedways now being built in all our large cities.

A few years ago we had one Mr. Bonner and one Mr.
Vanderbilt who were able and willing to pw $40,000 for a
Maud S. or Sunol, solely for road UEe; to-day we have thou-
sands of such men. Our country is richer than any other
country that the world has ever known; we do things on a
larger scale than ever before, and it would not surprise me
to see the best colts now living bring higher prices than the
best sold for in the boom days of 1890, when promising
yearlings brought as much as $10,000, broodmares sold as
high as $15,000, and $125,000 was paid for Arion, the preco-
cious son of the mighty Electioneer.

There are, at present, 3 000,000 fewer horses in the
United States than there were in 1890, aDd over 500,000
more in use. Think of these conditions. Our population
is 15,000,000 greater; our business of every character won.
derfully expanded; all the world is wanting our horses, and
almost no one is raising them. The very great scarcity is
now being realized and prices are rapidly advancing. Seven
hundred trotting bred horses, ranging in age from six months
to ten years, were sold within a week at auction in New York
io December, for an average of about $500 each. These
same horses would not have brought an average of $300 one
year ago. Two young stallions have recently been sold at
$20,000 and $25,000 respectively, and Mr. Marcus Daly has
just paid $39,000 for thirteen extra well bred trotting brood-
mares. The upward movement has begun.

The cattle men of the United States have passed through a
like experience; in the early eighties first class stock cattle
on the ranges were worth $20 to $25 all round, and every-
body was raising them; in the early nineties the same class
of cattle were only worth $5 to $8 all rouad, and every-
body quit raisin.: them; to-day they are again worth $20 to
$25 and may probably go higher. Io the periods of de-
pression you sold your fat cowe, epayed your beifeiB, and
only stayed in the cattle business because you could not get
out of it. But in the past four or five years the admitted
scarcity on the one hand and the improved character of

the stock on the other, have made you rich beyond degree.

The horse business of to-day is where the cattle business
was sis years ago. What may we not accomplish if we will
but beed the lessons that have been taught by the mistakes
of the past, when too often unsound and ill shaped stallions and
mares were bred because unfit for use or6ale, and a legacy of
decrepitude and general usefulness was a legitimate inherit-
ance of their progery. In contra distinction to those
methods let ub choose the very best individual animals from
the most prepotent trotting families, and breed for size, style,
substance, soundness, beauty, kindness and the ability to trot
fast and stay the distance, force the survival of the fittest by
the most seaiching classification and selection, aiming to
perpetuate no animal that is not a credit to its breeder and
the family from which it descends. But remember, however,
that while blood is a very important factor in producing a
valuable, useful and salable horse, food is even more so. It
is worse than useless to attempt to breed unless you intend
abundantly to feed up. See how large and strong and fine
you can make your colts at a given age by furnishing such
an abundance of pasturage and feed as to alwayB keep the
baby fat on the colt in ail stages of his development.

I reiterate that now is the time to breed. You can in-
crease jour cotton crop, your corn crop, your wheat crop(
and even your hog crop in a single season, to meet a special
demand, but it will take &ix years to materially increase
your horse crop and get the goods ready for market. Take
time by the forelock, and by more intelligent breeding, better
methods of care, feed and handling, produce what all the
rich horsey world wants, the horse of the century, the best
type of the iraerican standard bred trotter, and the horse
breeder's note will then be as good as the cattleman's note
now is.

Horses for the British Army.

When the war broke out between Great Britain and the
Boers, we heard not a little about the arrangements the
power first named has with its great urban transportation
companies with relation to the impressing of horses in the
time of need by the nation and when the government began
to enforce its powers, the companies at once sent large orders
for more horses to this countiy. The demand thus engen.
dered, caused the export trade to be heavier during the lae-t
three months of 1899 than it ever had been since American
horses were taken in any numbers across the seas, and the
augmentation in price was very satisfactory. From the most
reliable sources we learn that the British government has up
to two weeks ago, taken 2000 well seasoned horses from one
London transportation company alone and we are further
told that it has intimated to this and other similar companies
that it will require many thousand more head during the
next few months. This is due to the fact that the British
authorities have determined to fight the Boers in their own
way, and by placiog a correspondingly large force of cavalry
and artillery in the field, be able to keep pace with the active
warriors of the TraoBvaal. Just how many more horses
there will be required to adequately horse the British regi-
ments, now at the seat of war and to be sent there, is Dot
stated. It would seem, though, that as many at least as
10,000 horses will ba required from this country alone to fill
this particular item in the great general demand from foreign
sources. Our correspondent at National Stock Yards, Illi-
nois, market last week pointed out that there had developed
there a demand among the English exporters for a strong
horse of the medium cavalry type, that in its classification
comes in as a "top southerner." For this sort of a horse
the buyers were willing to pay last week from 60 to 85
dollars and as that was about $10 more per head than the
southern dealers had before been willing to pay, the prices
of southerners rose to that amount practically all along the
line. We can well afford to lose thousands of these horses —
which are termed iu the Chicago market, medium drivers —
but the supply will not hold out indefinitely and if the South
keeps on asking for bo many horses as she has for the past
four weeks or thereby, the market for these kinds will soon
be one of the most active. In England the war has sent the
values of bones skyward and those who bad any number to
sell, no matter what kind of grade, have been making money
fast. Irish horses that will make good troopers or artillery
DagB could be bought for 30 pounds and the same horse now
readily brings 50, so that the rise is truly a phenomenal one
and easily explains how the buyers here can afford to pay
such good figures as they have been paying of late. It
seems, too, that Germany is about to resort to the American
markets for some cavalry horses, a circular recently issued
by the war office in that empire having stated that if the
breeders at home cannot or will not produce a sufficient
supply, recourse must be had to these markets where there is
never any trouble in getting enough for immediate needs.
It is needless to say that this piece of information was but
ill received io Germany. The peoplfi of which country
seem to think that any thing American which comes in
competition with their home grown product, ought to be
arbitrarily barred as something that operates against the
public good. — The Horseman.

A handsome Ptrcheron stallion is advertised for sale in
this isBue. Now that there is a good demand for heavy
horses a Percheron stallion ean earn a large sum if properly
managed and properly located.

Striped Bbbs Club.

The San Francisco 8triped Bass Club has issued in printed
form its rules and events for 1900. The season ie made to
extend from January 1st to December 1st. All legal holi-
days during that period are to be official competition days.
Various prizes are offered for the members who catch the
moat fish, largest fish, etc., during the year.

It is provided in the rules than do fish weighing less than
three pounds shall count for a record. All record fish are
required to be weighed in the presence of one or more
members other than the fortunate anglers. During the
season there are to be four official outing days, the dates of
which will be hereafter determined. On eath of these days
a suitable prize will be awarded to the member catching the
largest fish.

The Striped Bass Club was organized last year and has
proved to be a great success. The membership is limited to
twentv-five and is now full. The officers elected for this
year are: President; Charles F. Breidenstein; Vice-President,
James Watl; Secretary, James S. Turner; Treasurer, Charles
H. Kewell; Executive Committee — George A. Wentwortb,
George M. Mitchell, Sidney Hall, Frank E. Daverkosen and
William S. Turner. The members other than the officers
are the following: Joseph Dober, Terrence Evans, Samuel
Heller, R. C. Hornung, Charles Huvck, John J. Kennedy,
Henry Kunz, Andrew Legaspe, J. E. Lower, James Lynch,
Clarence Maynard, Nat E. Mead, Frank Moody, D. E.
Morris, Bert Spiing, George Walther.

When a sportsman shoots a fine specimen of a game ani-
mal, one of his first thoughts is to preserve it so that he may
have Bome token of his prowess to show his friends. In this
respect the angler is at a disadvantage, and his stories of big
fiBh, as a rule, have to be backed bv photographs or other
evidence more or less susceptible of bias. (Even in this
there is a way of juggling returns) A Chicago angler
has hit upon a way for preserving bis trophies that
is artistic and has the additional merit of being very
easily done. He splits the fish, and skins one-half,
which he treats with a coating of salt, and mounts in
profile on a sheet of birch bark. The bark, with the skin
attached, may be rolled for convenience in carrying. When
civilization iB reached the vivid coloring of the specimen is
restored by a coat of varnish, and a very good eye is made
from a piece of birch bark on which a black iris has been
marked with ink.

Steelhead anglers have about concluded to put away their
tackle for this season and await the first day of April and
the bringing out of the light fly-rod for brook trout.

Edg. Forster and his son, a lad of a dozen Bummers' expe-
rience, shot at Reclamation on Sunday. The boy used a 22
caliber rifle and was successful in bagging several canvasbacks.

A new trap shooter made his advent in this city last week.
Otto Feudner has the youugster in charge (he weighs at pres-
ent about fourteen pound*) and promises to start him on blue
rocks at an earlv age. Will Golcher says he will have to go
through the "cigarette course" before he tackles targets.

English snipe and a remarkably large bag, too, fell to two
guns in Marin county Bundav. John K. Orr and Howard
Black were the shooters and the Country Club preserve was
the locality. Supervisor Black's handsome and stylish Irish
setter bitch was kept very buBy but did her work in a willing
and happy manner.

Ed 8chultz who has recently received a new high grade
L. C. Smith gun from The Hunter-Arms Co. tested the gun
on the Lincoln Gun Club grounds this week. On pattern
trials the results were satisfactory to a remarkable degree.
Out of ninety blue rocks shot at he scored eighty-four, an
average of over 93 per cent.

The waning days of the duck shooting season are beginning
to show a lottery development that is at times exasperating
to the hunter. As a mid good bags and a fair amount of
sport bave fallen to the lot of most sportsmen who have gone
to the ducking grounds recently, but others have drawn
blanks in the midst of plenty, much to their chagrin.

Teal bave been nnuBually scarce this year, but few birds
having been bagged in districts where usually they have been
plentiful. Cinnamon teal, on the contrary, have appeared
in larger proportion than heretofore, a number of perfect
and beautiful specimens have been secured for mounting by
different collectors. Last week a few teal were noticed in
8uisun bay and several small bags killed.

Clarence A. Haight and James Maynard Jr. made a trip
to Monterey last Saturdav returning on Monday morning.
"Pop" Carr and Mayor Johnson made the outing very en-
joyable for the visitors. On Sunday the quartette of sports-
men hunted quail on the old field trial grounds about four
miles from town. Birds were scarce, a threatening storm
causing the qnail to seek shelter in heavy cover. Haight'B
Better bitch Flash and Maynard's black pointer Thorn worked
together for the guns. In looking over the ground about
Elkhorn slough, Jim Maynard recognized many familiar
landmarks of a favorite duck hunting resort of his a few
years ago.

The Fresno Tournament.

CARTRIDGE AND SHBIi.

Canvasback ducks are still to be seen in immense flocks on
Richardson's and San Pablo bays.

George Frarzen and Sol Sharp bagged fifty ducks; sprigB,
spooneys and ''cans," last Sunday at Alvarado.

Jules Brnns and Peter McRae managed to bring down a
sackful of ducks on the train from Sears Point last Sunday
evening.

Hunters who go to the Sonoma marshes these days find
"cans" only, the other birds, exceptiog a few wiretails and
blue-bills, being non est for the present.

Eleven guns were at work on the Alameda Gun Club pre-
serve last Sunday. Fair average bags were made; China
slough was the beet shooting section for the club members.

The local trap season will open on March 4tb. Prior to
this the Lincoln Gun Club will give a preliminary warm-up
shoot at the Alameda grounds ou Washington's Birthday.

C. A. McNeill and T. F Lewis took a shooting trip in a
boat on the waters opposite Point Richmond last Saturday.
In a three hours' shoot they bagged a large number of ducks,
mostly bluebills and "cans."

The Gabilan Kennels of Hollister have several very choice
pointer puppies which are offered at a reasonable price; tbey
are Glenbeigh stock and come from the best hunting dogs in
that section. The announcement appears in our advertising
columns.

Last Sunday the independent knights of the Bhot gun were
out in force on tbe Marin and Sonoma shores and marshes,
The usual army of Bhooters paid their devotions to tbe quark-
era frequenting the east bay shore marshes and sloughs from
the Oakland estuary to Alviso.

The Bynopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Bbeedeb and Sportsman for Beveral years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and
various changes in the county game and fish laws, partica
larly those of recent date and of application in and around
the bay counties.

This synopsis has been frequently copied (in more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
ournals and has also been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be made to current numbers of the Breeder and Sports
man for the latest and moat complete data concerning the
Game LawB.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open season for shooting quail, doves, deer and wild duck aa
fixed oy the State law Is as follows: Doyea, 15th July to 16th Febru-

tara, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Joaquin, Yuba.

The clerks of nearly all the Boards of Sunervlsora have advised as
no changes have been made this year, but the ordinances passed
last year hold good if they do not conflict with the State law. Tbe
following counties nave not passed any ordinances that alter
the open Beaaon as provided by State law : Amador. Butte. Inyo,

Paolflo Coast Field Trials.

The All-Age 8take of the Pacific Coast Field TrialB Club
for 1900 was started on Wednesday morning of last week
and finished the following da?. Amoog the sportsmen pres-
ent from 8&n Francisco we note: Andrew Jackson, Frank
Maakey, A. M. Kilgarif, W. E. Chate, Howard Black, A. B-
Truman, H. J. Payne and 8. F. Hughes, also C. N. Post and
J. E. Terrv of 8acramento; J. H. Schumacher, Fish and
Game Commissioner Henry T. Keller and Fred Holbrook of
Los Angeles, W. W. Van Arsdale of Siskiyou; W. 8. Tevis
of Bakerefield.T. J. Tiedeman of Portland, Or., F. R. Atkins
of Seattle, and Dr. E. E. Wilson of Reno, Nev. The profes-
sional handlers in attendance were R. M. Dodge, J. £ Lucas,
W. B. Coutte, Fred Coutts, H. 8. Betten, H. L. Peach and
Thos. Howe of Oregon.

Peachmark, the wioner of the All-Aged 8take, ia a lemon
and white English setter bitch, whelped July 13, 1S94. She
is by Mercury out of Betsy Mark and was bred by R. K.
Gardner who sold her to E V. Sullivan during the field
trials of 1898. Her present owner, Mr, W. W. Van Arsdale
of Siskiyou, Cal., purchased her when the Menlo Part Ken-
nels were discontinued. Peachmark bss an enviable field
trial record, winning third place in the Derby for 1896 and
first in the All-Age 8takes 1896,1897 and 1898. She was
not entered in last year's trials. Her performance in this
yearV trials was of t very even and consistent character,
shoving strong bird sense and excellent training.

St. ckdale Kennels' liver and white pointer dog Cuba of

■'-.'- /rood (Glenbeigh Jr. — Dodge's Stella), the winner of

_J, besides a creditable bench record, was placed eecond

ln the Derby and All-Age for 1898, third in the All-Age and
second in the Champion Stake for 1899. He was whelped
January 20, 1896, and bred by R. M. Dodge. He is the sire
of Cuba's Zip, one of the recent Derby winners.

Stockdale Kennels also annexed third honors in the All-
Age, Nellie Wilson, a liver and white pointer bitch by Plain
8am— Dolly Dee II., whelped January 20, 1896. She was
bred by John R. Danielle of Cleveland, Ohio.

THE ALL-AGE.

The dogs were put down on ground Wednesday morn.
ing, along and adjacent to the dry bed of the creek where
the first day's Derby was held, birds were not as plentiful as
were found on the preceding day near Stockdale. More
birds were found in the heavy timber, thiB ground, however,
prevented as good a showing of speed and ranging as would
have been seen in a more open section.

Gladstar-Lucerne P.— The first pair down were C.
O'Neill's setter Gladstar, handled by Coutts, and W. W. Van
Arsdale's pointer Lucerne P.. H. 8. Peach handler. The
dogs worked diagonally across the creek bottom until a few
birds took to open ground where Lucerne made a neat point
which was honored by Gladstar, who dropped to wing. The
dogB being sent on both coming to a point a short distance
away, the bird, however, evidently sprinted off. Gladstar,
slightly in the lead, again came to a staunch point nicely
backed by the pointer, but again the bird failed to flush. A
return to the timber gave GladstBr a chance to secure another
point, Lucerne backing and the bird was flushed and killed
by Coutts, both does being steady to wiDg acd shot. Glad-
star a short distance ahead pointed again. After being down
forty-five minutes the pair were ordered up.

Cuba's Z?p- Peachmark — Stockdale Kennels' pointer
Cuba's Zep, handled by Dodge, and W. W. Van Arsdale's
setter Peachmark, H. 8. Peach handler, were the next brace
put down in open ground. This was an interesting heat; the
first point was made by Peachmark in a bunch of willows,
from which severs! birds were flushed by the handler. From
this point the course was acroeB the cpen fields where both
dogs were good, fast workers and wide rangers. The next
two points were claimed by the handlers at almost the same
moment. Peachmark pointed in a buLch of willows and Zap
on the top of a little knoll in plain sight of the spectators.
Both degs were steady to wing. The next point was made
by Peachmark in a ploughed field at the edge of a ditch down
which the bird evidently ran, and was flushed by the handler
some thirty feet away from the dog. This pair was ordered
up at 9:45.

Buck of Kent-Dick Stamboul — Yosemite Kennels' pointer
Buck of Kent, John Lucas handler, and W, B. Coutt's pointer
Dick Stamboul were next cast off in an cpen fie'd to take cfi
the "wire edge." Stamboul making a staunch point within
a hundred yards of the start, Buck continuing across the
field, the handlers moving up caused the birds to run, when
Stamboul became unsteady. A second point was made by
him at the edge of a field across the creek bed. The dogs
were ordered up at 10:40.

Cuba of Kenwood-Tacoma — An interesting heat was run
by Stockdale Kennels' pointer Cuba of Kenwood,* Dcdge
handler, and C. B. Dwyer's setter Tacoma, handled by Howe
Neither dog had an opportunity to do the high class work
that they were capable of, but one point being made in the
heat which lasted one hour. An adjournment was then
made for luncheon.

King Don of Blithe-Nellie Wilson — After luncheon two
pointers, Stockdale Kennels' Nellie Wilson, handled by
Dodge, and Betten and Truman's King Don of Blithe, Henry
Betten handler, were caBtcft in the moBt favorable ground
worked over during the day. The course was over rolling
hills, through short sage brush and cornfields; about half a
mile distant a bevy of birds were flushed and scattered in
short cover. Here King secured a point which was honored
by Nellie Wilson. The second point was secured a short
distance by Nellie, but in this case King did not honor the
point, and flushed the bird. The next two points were
secured by Nellie, but on the last of these she was unsteady,
and her handler could not prevent her breaking in on the
birds.

Verona Cash — A. Decourtieax's setter Verona Cash, Lucas
handler, that had drawn the bye, was then put down for half
an hour, which ended the first series.

SECOND 8EBIE8.

Peachmark-Gladslar — At 3:07 p. m. the pair were put
djwn just in the timber edge, very shortly Gladstar pointed
a single bird in good style. Being ordered on again, he die"
appeared, repeated whistling failing to bring him back.
Peachmark was then ordered back to the wagon, and all the
available horsemen started in search of the lost dog, but
withou. result. It was almost an hour before Gladstar saw
fit to return. On his coming back to the wagon the dogs
were ordered on again, and, as if endeavoring to atone for
his fault, Gladstar did some excellent work in the next few
minutes, pointing several single birdB.

Dick Stamboul — Tacoma — This pair were the last put
down. Io this heat but few birds were found. Tacoma
scored two points and 8tamboul one. There were ordered
up at 5:05, and the ruoning closed for the day.

Ou Thursday morning the heat of the previous evening
between Gladstar and Peachmark, which turned out in an
unsatisfactory way, owing to Gladstar's disappearance, was,

at the Buggestion of Judge Johnson, declared off and the
dogs placed down as though the heat had not been run-

Gladstar-King Don of Blithe — This brace was cast off at
8:40 a. m. in open ground where a large number of birds had
been flushed. This gave an opportunity for ranging and a
showing of speed that soon brought both dogs on points at
almost the same moment. Gladstar soon after came to a
strong point on a single bird near a ditch which King failed
to notice but went ahead and endeavored to take the point
from the Belter. After being down less than fifteen minutes
the pair were taken up.

Pecchmark-Cuba of Kenwood — In this heat, as in most of
the succeeding ones, brilliant work was done. Each dog
pointed and backed in faultless style, and both were steady
to wing and shot. The heat lasted exactly fifteen minutes.
It appeared to the spectators that the work of the two dogs
was about equal.

Verona Cash=Nellie Wilson — This was a short heat, Nellie
scoring three points against her adversary.

FINALS.

Cuba of Kenwood-Gladstar — At 9:40 a. m. the pair were
cast off in an open field adjoining the ground where the first
heat of the day was run. Cuba quickly came to a point,
which Star failed to honor, and instead of backing, circled
around Cuba, evidently endeavoring to locate the bird.
His handler finally dropped him, but in doing so flushed the
bird, whilst Cuba remained steady. The pair were ordered
up at once, having been down less than five annates.

Peachmark-Nellie Wilson — were then put down for
t»enty-five minutes. The pair gave a beautiful exhibition
with honors almost equally divide!.

Peaehmark-Ouba of Kenwood — After an intermission of
thirty minutes this brace were rua for twenty-five minutes,
each showing high class work.

After the dogs were taken up Judge Johnson announced
the winners as already noted.

CHAMPION STAKE.

Entries for the Champion Stake were in order after
luncheon. Two eligible entries were offered, these were
Stockdale Kennels' pointer Sam's Bow, whelped January 20,
1896 (Plain Sam— Dully Dee It.), bred by John E Daniells,
winner of second, Manitoba Derby, 1898; first All Age,
Pacific Coast Trials, 1899, and W. W. Van Arsdale's setter
Peachmark.

Sam's Bow-Peachmark — After an intermission of two
hours the pair were put down on open ground for a two
hourB* run. A bevy ot birds was shortly found and worked
from the open field into a cabbage patch, where point and back
and vice versa in brilliant style was the order indefinitely.
At one time Peachmark seemed to have the best of it, but
made a blunder by not honoring one of Sam's points, which
put them on an even footing. After an hour iuid a half had
expired the dogs were taken to the timber,where a large bevy
was flashed, Sam's Bow making a most sensational bevy
point soon afterward at the edge of an opening. The dogs
were oidered up and were so nearly equal in the race that
this one point decided the judge in favor of Sam's Bow, and
he was declared the champion.

An impromptu meeting of the club was held on the
grounds, and as there were but three entries lor the Mem-
bers' Stake it was decided to declare it off.

DOINGS IN DOQDOM.

The Pacific Fox Terrier Club will hold a meeting next
week. They propose to make a high class fox terrier show-
ing at the local show in May.

Champion Le Prince Jr. wPl make his first appearance on
the bencb this season at the Westminster show next month.
He will be up against some good ones; thev are after his
scalp in the East, but they will have to produce something
very high class to beat him.

H. G. Hemmelbright has added to the Powhattan Kennels
Ihe pretty little black cocker Toolsie L , winner of first'
id novice bitches at the Oakland show.

E. D. Conley is again the owner of the smooth coat St.
Bernard General B., who was so much admired at the last
Oakland show. Barring Ch. Le Prince Jr., be is the best
smooth coat we know of on the Coast. Mr. Conley will
probably place General in stod at an early date.

Intelligent fanciers invariably breed to type and form,
taking for granted that dogs, particularly the sporting breeds,
have their individual instincts developed sufficiently stroDg
to briog out their characteristics in the progeny. If this
idea were carried out more consistently the snipey-nosed,
prick-eared/.flat-sided specimens so often seen would be in
the minority.

Dr. Richard Semon, of Jena, in speaking of the ''dingo'1
or Australian wild dog attributes its introduction to the
ancestors of the native tribes, who are supposed to have
journeyed from India through the Malayan countries to
their present home, bringing with them the native dog, or
dingo. He iB authority for the theory that the introduction
of the dingo, which is unknown in Tasmania, finally caused
the disappearance of those bloodthirsty animals, the Tas-
manian wolf and TaBmanian devil, from the mainland of
Australia, where now they are only known by their fossilized
remains.

The judges appointed for the Westminster Kennel Club
Show in New York are: Miss A. H. Whitney, St. Bernards
and Newfoundlands; Jas. A. Lawrence, Great Danes; K. F.
Little Jr., Russian wolfhounds and greyhounds; Msj. J. M.
Taylor, foxhonndB, pointers, setters and Chesapeake Bay
dogs; JaB. Luckwell, Irish, water, clumber, field and cocker
spaniels; Bulkley Wells, Boston terriers; E. D. Faulbener,
French bulldogs; A. J. Purinton, beagles; C. D. Bernheimer,
poodles; L. P. C. Aetley, mastiffs, bloodhounds, deerhounds,
retrievers, collies, old English sheepdogs, Dalmatians, all
terriers (except Boston), dachshunds, pugs, Pomeranians, toy
spaniels, miscellaneous.

Wyanoke Kennels, of Baltimore, have recently imported
a young brindle English mastiff by Chieftain out of Herodias.
The new dog has been registered as Lord Baltimore, and
will be placed in the stud by Wyanoke Kennels. In breed-
ing he is rich in English mastiff blood. His sire, Chieftain,
has only been shown twice, and was awarded first novice,
under Thorpe, at Birmingham, 1898, and first limit and
special for the beBt mastiff in the show, onder Mr Norman
Higgs, at the great Crufts show of 1899. Lord Baltimore
was bred by Mr. A. W. Lucus of Isleworlh, England. Of
this dog Mr. Taonton, President of the Old English Mastiff
Clnb, says that he is one cf the best-headed mastiffs bred in
that country during the past five years.

John W. Mitchell, a prominent member of the Lob
Angeles Bar, who haB a stroog penchant for the sprightly
fox terrier, has been visiting this city during the week. A
snappy fox terrier bitch puppy by Aldon Swagger— Cham-
pion Golden Jewel look his fancy and he purchased the
youngster off-band of J. B. Martin, the dean of the terrier
fancy on the Coast.

Mr. Mitchell states that his bitch Lomita Vesta (Lomita
Jock — Lomita Winifreda) iB the mother of a litter of eight
dog puppies, whelped January 21st, to G. L Waring's Sweet
William (Aldon Swagger — Snonflake). Under the circum-
stances, thiB is truly a remarkable whelping, not only as to
the number in the litter, but also as regards sex; we cannot
recall any other fox terrier litter of so many, all doge.

The aftermath of the recent New York bench show is told
by Town Topics in the following animated st-Ie: The
Pet Dog Show that preceded the advent of Mr. Grau's song
birds at the Metropolitan Opera Bouse has left a rather em-
barrassing Bouvenir of its sojourn there. Apparently the
exhibitors of coddled purps of aristocratic lineage were not
extensive patronB of the numerous flea-killers that are
always advertised so prodigally at dog shows, or elBe their
fine strain canines must have been more than ordinarily
efflicted with the tiny but assertive pulices irriianles. These
latter seem to have developed a fondness for their unaccus-
tomed surrounding during their week of habitat at the Met-
ropolitan and when their hairy and woolly intimates with-
drew, after the contest of beauty and points, the fleas choose
to remain behind. In the hangings of the boxes, in the
tapestry of the chairs, in the cozy nap of the thick carpets,
the pestiferous atomies arranged themselves for a luxurious
and sybaritish winter. And meanwhile they were fruitful
and multiplied, until now it looks as if whatever profit
Messrs. Gran and Sanger derived from renting the opera
for dog show purposes would have to be expended in ridding
the seats, boxes and balconies from a nuisance that is liable
to develop into a downright pest. Tbe managers of the
Metropolitan should not lose one minute in scattering such
powders and liquids as are foes to the illusive vermin
throughout the house. Otherwise their decollete patrons
will have to equip themselves with back Bcratchers and even
air-tight lingerie, in order to put in a comfortable evening.
At the "Nozze de Figaro" performance recently, one grande
dame confided to the ladies in her box, after tbey bad all
compared sub rosa notes on the subject, that "fans are all
right for flies, bat these things stick to you like a poor
relation I " ^__

Terrier Notes.

Concerning the evolution of the terrier the English Field
has the following: There are few men who have not during
Borne portion of their life owned a terrier. It is the most
popular of all dogs, and that such is the case can be observed
on our streets any day, and, moreover, the many varieties in
which it is produced at the present time is additional evi-
dence as to the great favoritism enjoyed by this little dog.
Though perhaps all of them are not small, for we have the
Airedale terrier, which often reaches 50 lbs. in weight, and
a good specimen ought certainly not to be below 40 lbs.

It seems strange how all the varieties of terriers which are
kept in Great Britain have arisen, and it is pretty certain
that some time or other the whole of them must have been
produced from one common stock. Take, for instance, say

three or four hundred years ago; we have no proof that at
that time there was really more than one varriety of terrier,
though Nicholas Cox, writing in 1667, says there were in
his day two sorts of terriers, which can shortly be described
as one with short coals and legs more or less crooked, while
the olher had longer coats and were straighter on their legs*
Possibly from these have sprung the some sixteen "breeds"
known and acknowledged to-day, and which possess a value
immeasurably greater than has been tbe case at any other
period of their existence. The first dog of our boyhood has
always been a terrier, cross-bred or mongrel may be, but
none the less intelligent by reason of its plebeian origin and
he was always as able and willing to kill rats and other
vermin as his more aristocratic cousin, and for this purpose,
as well as for companiooship in tbe town or in the country,
there is no better dog tban a well trained terrier. He is
sensible, intelligent, cleanly, and when not too long in the
coat or too short in the legs he will take less dirt into the
house after a scamper along the roads or in the lanes on a
damp day than any other dog. The fox terriers, black and
tan terriers and bull terriers are perhaps the beBt fitted for
companions among tbe smooth coated dogs, while of the
longer j icketed ones the Irish, Welsh and the Bedlington
terriers, for cleanliness in the house, are the most desirable.
The shorter legged varieties, the Scottish, Dandie Dinmont
and Skye terriers, can carry a lot of mud indoors, and the
'ast named requires almost as much grooming and attention
as do ihe Yorkshire terriers. It always seems surprising to
us why of late such high honors have befallen certain Skye
terriers, which, at any rate on two occasions, have been made
champions of a show in which from 800 to 1300 other dogs
competed.

As a general utility dog the Skye terriers stand very low io
the ranks; still, for all this, they have been honored as stated.
Nor is their pecuniary value abnormally high. We very
much doubt if so much as £50 has ever been given for a
Skye terrier, while almost all other varieties of the race have
sold for hundreds of pounds apiece, £500 for a fox terrier
being tbe highest sum ever paid. Over a hundred pounds
is no unusual price for a fox terrier, while as much has
repeatedly been paid for an Irish terrier, and even a Welch
terrier has changed hands at an excess on that amount.
Dog judges certainly have their peculiarities, and these are
carried to an extreme when Ihey make a Skye terrier, how-
ever good he may be, the champion of champions. He is
certainly not a comfortable creature to have in the house,
and as a working dog he is actually useless. We say noth_
ing against his sagacity and gameneBS. He may have both
but his abnormally long coat and short legs prevent his using
thosj most useful faculties of which a dog can be possessed
in the manner he ought to do. A Skye terrier of our own
had so much hair or coat on his brow that it fell over bis
eyes and made him blind, still he followed us well by scent,
and he was a famous fighter and a determined dog. And
had we not some years ago a number of Skye terriers,
Cockney Skye terriers, i. e., they were bred in London
which hunted and found Frank Buckland's lost badger in
Hyde Park? But opportunity iB a great thing, and probably
Mr. Redmond's fox terriers would have done as well as Mr.
Pratt's Skye terriers had they been a fiorded a similar chance.
So far as companionable terriers are concerned, tbe fashion
in them seems to change strangely; and although the fox
terrier, which attained such an exalted place bb the terrier
par excellence some twenty years ago, has not had that
position attacked, within the past dozsn years or so other
varieties have rapidly come to the front. A man need not
have reached middle age to recollect when the now common
Scotch terrier was unknown, excepting, perhaps, in certain
districts of his native country, where he was used for hunt-
ing purposes. Once he became introduced, his general
smarlneBS and perkinesB, combined with hie natural abilities
as a vermin destroyer and bis companionable qualities,
speedily made him popular, and fancy soon changed his
appearance considerably. When he was called a "Cairn"
terrier or an "Aberdeen" he might have erect or semi-erect
or droop ears so long as he bad a hard coat, big teeth,
and a dark and sparkling eye. Now, we are not so particular
aoout his coat. We have discarded all but the erect ears|
dark, piercing eyes are not always a Bine qua non, but he
must have a long narrow head, which his progenitors never
possessed to the same extent. Many of the champions on
the bench and in the ring are not so active as they might
be, and, of cou Be, their value to their owners as prize win-
ners prevents their being entered to fox and otter, as was the
case in their earlier days. As a fact, his great excellence as
a game terrier is now subsidiary to two or three fanciful
points. This is the sort of thing shows and exhibition8
usually bring about. The Dandie Dinmonts of James Dav.
idson, at Charliesthrope, were not much like the Daodie
Dinmonts of various exhibitors seen at the Crystal Palace
Show and elsewhere nowadays, nor could the modern Dandie*
perform thoBe duties for which they were originally intended
60 well aB the dogs owned by Sir Waiter Scott's interesting
character.

The Bedlington terrier, too, has been a subject of evolution
The original strains did not require the pluckiDg and pulling
and dressing and trimming which the modern dog has to
undergo before he is thought handsome enough to be taken
into the ring. This tonsorial performance has been carried
on to such an extent here that the"Bedlinglon'e" popularity

has suffered immensely. Terriers, though nalurally some
have been changed less than others by artificial treatment
and breeding for exaggerated features through the fads of
fanciers. The Irish terrier in his native slate was as oflen as
not a brown brindle dog, and as such he is still to be found;
but the bright red color is now the only one fairly acknowl-
edged, and even the brighter wheaten hue is pretty well ex-
tinct. The above are perhaps just now the most popular
varieties, though the Airedale terrier is a great favorite, and
he up to the present does not appear to have changed his ap-
pearance to any great extent under the hands of his "fan-
cier." Of the other breeds, the English terriers, both black
and tan and white, and the bull terriers are, as it were, under
a cloud. The popularity they have enjoyed was evidently
thoroughly an artificial one. Their ears wrre cut and trained
to stand erect in order that tbe subjects might be smartened
and brightened in appearance. No doubt their character
was altered by this mutilation, which induced deafness, and
we are certain that in many cases the pain of the operation
broke the spirit of the patient. When cropping became
illegal it was found that ugly thick ears had been specially
bred for, because they "cut" best. When uncut they were
were very unsightly, and the time has not yet quile arrived
when an ear that looks well in its natural state can be pro-
duced with any degree of certainty. Thus we mast wait a
little longer until the eye gets accustomed to the change,
even as it has done with regard to puge, with which it was
once the custom to shear off every portion of their ears.

The most fortunate of the terriers are no doubt su:h of
the cross-bred animals as are kept to run with honnds of all
kinds, and others which lead sporting lives with their own-
ers whose pleasures are in the country. These may not be
groomed, trimmed and subjected to special care like the
show dogs, but they are brought up more in the way nature
intended should be the case, and certainly seem happier
when scratching and scraping at a rat hole or going to
ground after a fox or otter or badger than the champion does
when lying on the bench, the sides of which are adorned
with the prize cards which have been awarded to him.
Although the introduction of tbe modern fox terrier at one
time threatened to oust the cross-bred workman in certain
localities, the latter still survive, and will no doubt do bo for
all time. Our show dogs, properly trained, would no doubt
work well enough, but they are too valuable to run the riBk
of being maimed or killed in tbe combats with their enemies
and, moreover, in many places where the foxes go to ground,
and otters likewise, the danger of . the dog losing his way in
in the vast labyrinths is great. It is risking too much to
send a 200 guinea terrier|to drive a fox from such a place
when a 40s. one will do the trick equally well, or better.
The "draftB" from prize kennels often work well, but, per-
sonally, we have not eeen any which could go through a
day's hard hunting so satisfactorily, and come up, as it were,
Bmiling at ti*e finish, as the cross-bred terriers bred for the
purpose and to the manner born. The dogs which the Rob-
sons have in Northumberland, known as "Border Terriers,"
such as Mr. Crowley breeds in the south, those which run
with certain of the Welsh packs, with the Ullswater and
with Tommy Dobson in the north of England, are all as
good as can be obtained and trained for their duties. Their
blood may not be patrician, their strains and families may
be mixed and varied, but they are the terriers proper, and
so long as the hunters of the fox and otter flourish so long
will these little dogs survive. To them we may have event-
ually to look to perpetuate the true qualities of the terrier
which by continued interbreeding from show strains which
perhaps, for generations have never hunted even rat or
rabbit, may be io danger of becoming extinct. For we know-
in certain families of shooting dogs the faculties for which
they were first produced have, by neglect, become, at any
rate, very greatly minimized, and perhaps might have be_
come even more so had it not been for tbe steps taken for
the introduction of field trills to stop the decadence which
had undoubtedly commenced. However, let us hope that
with the many strains of sporting terriers whicb we have
throughout the country their special and legitimized quali-
ties will be fully sustained.

"Wool Stook Jumping.

Oq all hands it is ackoowledeed that the
wool men are the only rurals strictly in i'>
In this connection we publish the two follow*
ing clippings without comment:

For two weeks past representatives of east-
ern wool firms, principally from BostoD, have
been canvassing the wool growing sections of
Oregon in an effort to buy up Dext year's
clip. In the Raioier reserve district advancts
have been offered at a full price when de-
livered next summer, of some 17 to 20 cents
per pound. The cause assigned for offering
to buy in advance is that heavy orders have
been received by the house reported for de-
livery next fall and to make sure of a supply,
all the crops possible are being secured.

The Red Bluff Sentinel eayB : Msjor E.
H. Ward informs us that he was offered $4.25
for a choice lot of 900 two, three and four
year old wethers, but could not accept. With
mutton nearirjg the $5 mark and wool close to
20 cents, the sheep raisers will soon be in
position to buy government bonds.

The top price paid for cattle was received
by Wm. W. Asberry, of the8hingleton ridge,
who sold about twenty head to Geo. W.
Vestal on Monday at 8 cents per pound. The
previiliog price at the present time is 6£
cents per pouod, but these cattle were con-
tracted for during the past summer. — Red
Bluff News.

There was a large sale of beef cattle made
at Marysville recently. S. L. Akins, of the
Western Meat Company of San Francisco
purchased from J. Thad Jones, of Modcc
county, 520 head, the price paid being about
$20,000. The cattle were on pasture near
the Hoccut and were shipped to Sao Francisco.

size, style, beautiful mane and tail and toppy appearance in general, with 3-minute speed will sell East

Two of the stallions at Oakwood Park Stock Farm, Dan-

Chas. Derby 2:20, a record made in the sixth heat of a

he haB proved himself a successful sire, having already in the

last year) Darby Lass 2:14, Much Better 2:07}, Diablo 2:09}

is not only a fine individual beicg 15} hands high and of ex-

the world. Hib sire Steinway has produced Klatawah 2:05},
W. Wood 2:07, Agitato 2:09 and six others with scores below

Saoramento Correspondence.

The grounds at Agricultural Park presented a more cheer,
fal appearance this morning, as the sun was shining brightly
and a light breeze from the north was rapidly putting the
track in condition for working horses on. For the past
month there has been foggy weather which has kept every-
thing damp and disagreeable in this locality.

I found Vet Tryon's string all in excellent shape, and
with a new member — a fine looking bay colt four years old
by Knight, out of a mate by Algona. Mr. Tryon has quite
a large string now but expects to have another addition to it
in a few days. The new one is green at the racing game,
but as he is reported to have stepped a mile last year in 2:16
in a workout, under Vet's careful handling he will shed his
greenness before the year is out and be seen out in front of
the fast campaigners.

Mrs. Callendine has a great filly by Stam B. out of the
dam of Diawood 2:11. 8he prizes her highly and refused a
very handsome offer for her laEt week.

Diawood has changed hands. The Montgomery Brothers
of Davisville, Yolo county, being the purchasers, and the
horse was delivered to them last week. I understand the
price was over $ 1000, but how much over did not learn.

Hi Hogoboom claims the name "Progress" for his three
year old Diablo. He is a sweet gaited trotter and a grand
bred fellow, his dam being by Waldstein, grandam by The
Moor, and great grandam by Mambrino Messenger. Hogo-
boom has a green trotter by Waldstein that Btepped a quarter
in 34} seconds lately, and a green pacer three years old that
he is very sweet on and thinks well worth a bet when he
starts. Hi is sure to have some money winners this year.

'rotters, and foaled in 1872, she trotted to a record of 2:29}
»t Sacramento in 1878. She soon joined the great band of
broodmares gathered by Senator Stanford, and in 1879 was
bred to Electioneer, producing the filly Hinda Eose in 1880.
In 1881 this filly captured the world's yearling record by
trotting a mile in 2:36}, lowered this to a two year old ,icord
of 2:32, and in her three year old form set the world's record
for that age at 2:19}.

In 1881 Beautiful Bells foaled to the cover of the same
sire the mare Alta Belle, which later produced the colt
Daghestan 2:23}. In 1882 St. Bel 2:24} came, and during
the few short years he lived, he sired 54 that have taken
records better than 2:30, including Lynne Bell 2:10}. In
1883 Beautiful Bella produced the filly Eosemont, which
has since become famous as the dam of MontroBe (three
year old record 2 18), Sweet E^se (yearling record 2:25})
and Mszatlan (2:26}).

Her produce of 1884 was the colt Chimes, which trotted
to a three year old record of 2:30}, and is now recognized as
the greatest Bire of extreme speed in the world, having to his
credit three faster trotters than any other stallion living or
dead.

Following Chimes in the order named, came Bell Boy (2)

The "White Horse in Romance and History.

A Good Story "Worth More Than a Horse.

A High Glass Young Stallion.

That the horse is the noblest of animals, and that the
white horse is the Dobleet of its noble race, ib the sort of
generality that, uttered in a careless moment by some one
with a repntation for wit and wisdom, has pa^ed into an
article of belief which is received absolutely without ques-
tion, says the London Globe. From the very earliest times,
there has been a fictitious value set upon the white horse.
He oae been looked upon by all peoples, periods, nations
and languages as a sacred animal, a harbinger of good luck,
representing whatever is excellent and noble and magnifi-
cent and pure and of good report. The poets sang of him,
typifying him in Pegasus, the first of steeds, with wings and
hoofs of silver, and the heart too high for mere human
guidance. The storytellers of old time introduced him into
their romances, when they whispered in the twilight cf the
Great Twin Brethren flashing on their white horses, as much
alike and as wondrous as themselves, through the roar and
tumult of battle. The priests believed in the merit of the
white horse, when they sacrificed him, as the best and noblest
of creature?, to the Sun god on bis festival days. The
builders reared a temple on the spot in the Roman Forum
where the myBtic white horses of Castor and Pollux slaked
their unearthly thrist at a terrestrial well spring. Roman
conquerors were drawn "up the shoutirjg Btreets to Jove's
eternal fane" by horses of milk while hue.

Nations have marched to victory under the banner of the
white horse. Such was the first emblem of the great Anglo-
Saxon race, of which we all hear so much oow-a-days,
when in the infancy of its conquering existence. To the
foes of Hengist and Horsa, Cynric and Cerdic, the white
horse was an even more terrible cognizance than was the
black raven of the marauding Northmen two or three cen-
turies later to the descendants of those first conquerors. It
is said that the Anglc-Ssxon marked the fields of their
victories by cutting the figure of their standard, where it
was possible, on the side of some chalk down, and many of
these countryside white horses survive uniil this day, from
the veteran nf all on the Uffiogtown Downs overlooking the
Yale that is called by his name, to those later ones
whose ages can be identified. Amoog them it is plain
that the Ufinogton horse alone is original and genuine; the
most superficial antiquary has but to loos at the time-
honored shape of him to Bee at a glauce that he is an indis-
putable first cousin of the horses in the Bayeux Tapestry.
Besides figuring in poetry and romance and on the blaz-
onry of banners, the white horse of history has always stood
out among his more Bober-hued comrader. Alexander's white
horses were known to the conquered Persians, and a latter-
day conqueror rode a white horse through many a sanqui-
nary fray, when Napoleon and Marengo loomed through the
smoke and carnage to cheer the heroes of Jena, AusleiHtz
and Rivoli to victory. "A horse, a horse I my kingdom for
a horse," cried perfidious Richard, and forthwith rode White
Surrey to death and disaster, and the losing of his stolen
crown. Only the other day, died Colonel Lord Roberts'
white Arab charger, who bore his noble master, no less a
hero to Candahar, and through the roaring streets of Lonion
at the Diamond Jubilee; a little horse this, but a good one
a horse cut of in green old age, for be neared his third
decade, and with honors thick upon him, for his gracious
Sovereign Lady bestowed on him decorationB to the number
of three, in that, like Nelson, he had done his duty. The
drum-horse of a cavalry regiment, proud adorner of a proud
position is not infrequently white, and the "Second to None"
are known far and wide as the Royal Scots Greys, though
but the other day, for the first time in their history, they went
to the Transvaal leaving their white horses behind, lest
they should make too easy a target for the marksmanship of
the Boers.

There is an unwritten law, disregarded now by everybody
that white^horses should only draw a wedding corlege, and
white waB always the royal color for the horse3 that had the
honor of conveying the sovereign on state occasions till
Hanoverian George brought over his breed cf cream colors.
Lucky as he may be iu the flesh, however, it would seem
that the Bupernatural white steed is a Bign of evil omen. The
writer of the Apocalypse saw death riding upon a white horse.
There are castles in Britainy and Scotland, and the yet wild
regions of Bohemia and the Black Forest, where a ghoBtiy
white horse is as much a herald of dire misfortune to the
family to whom he does the honor of attaching himself as
the Drummer of Cortachy, or the howling banshee. We
have heard of a phantom footman jumping down from a
spectral coach harnessed with four white horses, and myster-
iously ringing the front door bell (though why a ghost
should wish to do eo, one cannot tell); and thereafter the
heir died. Stories are there also of phantom white horses,
coachless, riderless, galloping to the door of haunted castles
doomed to some nameless woe. It is a picture which ap-
pears luridly to the imagination. You staod in a world old
forest, when the sun has set and the mysterious twilight is
gathering round the gnarled tree-trunks; suddenly down the
road comes "like moffled drums on the sounding turf," the
beat of hoofs and your quickened heart tells you it is no
mortal Bteed that is abroad to-night. Next moment, as you
stand rooted in a frozen dread of you know not what, a
gleaming shape flies past, mane streaming, eyes on flame, pale
hoofs Bpurning the trembling earth. A whistling wind
moans through the trees, laden with the mourning voice of
the spirit world, and the swaying branches creak and groan
responsive. Xou start forward, the spell is broken, and press
towards the castle gates, heavy hearted with a sense of evil
to come.

["By Jimmy the Swipe.]
"I see by the papers," remarBed the owner, "that Splan &
Newgass are haviDg a great sale down in Chicago. There's
one thing about these sales, though, I can't understand.
Some of the horses that I would consider the best in the sale
don't bring anything, while some that I would not take as a
gift sell for big prices."

"It's dead easy for me to understand all about them prices,"
replied the swipe. "When a cheap racer sells up in the pic-
tures it's because there's a hot story goes with him, an' when
a good horse sells for nothin' it's because the story that goes
with bim is very much to the bad, an' when a good hoss an'
a good story go together, nothin' but millionaires can bid.
Any time you tbink they ain't sellin' uothin' but horses at
any of them big Bales, you're on a dead one. They's just as
many stories consigned to them sales as there is bosses, an' a
good story, well told, is worth mor'n a boss any time. Of
course, yon can't go down there among them wise boys an'
get money for a string of pipes, but you can take a story that
starts out right an' ends right, and don't look as if it had
been overworked, an' get a good hot-air juggler to handle it
for you, an' you're goin' to get the dough. There's old foxy
Doc Tanner over to Cleveland. I koowed him when he
worked for GoldBmilh. They say he's grabbin' off more
money at tbem sales than anybody, an' what's the reason ?
He goes an' he throws in a story with every hoss that makes
them write-ups in the Christmas hoss paperB look foolish.
All the guys like you in this country think he got seven
thousand one hundred plunks for that Sagwa hoss, bul
Jimmv, the groomster, knows better. I'm next. Tanner
just got $5,050 for that straight-necked racer, an' he got
$2,050 for the story that went with him. If Doc would tell
you <itraiebt he'd tell you that when he went ofi in the Mis-
souri hszel brush to buy that hoss he paid extra for the
story — sold for $18 when he was a yearliDg; brought up on
cornstalkf; trained by a farmer with whiskers enough on
his neck to fill a bed tick; one- bit in his moutb; one
shoe on each foot; fourth heat in 2:1 li, with hazel brush on
the back stretch up to his kneeF; mile in 2 :10 to a cart twenty
minutes after he was unloaded at Cleveland. Oh, I guess
that's a poor story; ain't it? That story was dirt cheap at
$5000. It would have brought that out io Omaha, where
the track is shut up, an' the natives are drivin' oxen on the
speedway. An' you can bet your bank book that that wasn't
the only story Tanner took down to New York. He took
others just as good. Ask John Tilden how about the stories
he brought with them twenty head he's got at the Splan sale
this week. I'll lay up a little five to three that he'll tell
you they had a hard time gettin' 'em all in the car. They
must have chopped 'em up in sections, an, tied a few bundles
on the hind end. Anybody what's read the hoss papers
knows that Williams must have sold about 108 car loads of
Btories with them youngsters he sold down in New York, an'
that's what got him the money. Any time a guy goes to one
of them big sales with a bunch of champions, an' keeps still
an' don't work nights an' day-times for a month or two be-
forehand, fixin' op his little bunch of stories to Bell with 'em
he's goin' to get just eDCugh money for his hosses to pay the
freight man.

"It don't make much difference how you handle a story
that goes with a live one, tut you got to be mighty careful
what you do with a story that goes with a counterfeit. Some
of them stories that's down at the sale this week have been
pruned, an' oiled, an' fired an' blis.ered, an' doctored until
they have to be carried around in a trunk.

Every guy who buys horses at them sales has got to be a
good judge of stories. He's got to know how to tell real his-
tory from yellow pipe talk, an' has got to tell the dif. between
straight conversation an' bull con. It don't make no differ-
ence how many pedigrees he knows, or how much of the
dope book he's soaked up, or how many vets, an' wise team-
sters he gets on bis staff, when he picks out his racer, if he
ain't a good judge of a hoss story, he's goin' to get it in the
neck. See?" — Chicago Horseman.

Our front page picture this week is a true likeness of one
of tbe handsomest youog horses in California. He was bred
and is still owned by the Green Meadow Stock Farm, 8anta
Clara county, and is bv the farm's premier sire Hamblelon-
ian Wilkes, and out of Anna Belle 2:27|, by Dawn. He has
been named Robert I. and is now at the San Jose track,
where with but scarcely any handling he has shown a 2:30
clip and trots so easily that it is confidently expected he will
be very fast. His breeding cnuld hardly be improved upon
and he ought to be purchased by some person who would
race him to a low record which can be done, and then place
him in tbe slud with an opportunity to be bred to good
mareB. On his sire's side he carries the blood of Geo. Wilkes
and American Star through Hambletooian Wilkes, a horse
that has produced one with a record below 2:10 (Phoebe
Wilkes 2:08i) five with records of 2:13 or better and nine,
teen in the 2:30 list. The dam of this colt was herself a
great three year old, winning many stakes, has produced La
Belle, two year old record 2:16, aod is ceitain to be in
the great broodmare list if her produce are trained.
Maud Murray, a full sister to this colt, recently changed
hands iu Europe for $5000 and it is said trotted a trial in
2:12i at the time. Anna Belle is by Diwn 2:18!, a produc-
ing son of the great Nutwood 2:18|. Her dam was a thor-
oughbred mare by Hubbard, a great race horse by Planet,
sire of Dame Wionie.the dam of Palo Alto 2:08|, Paola 2:18(
Altivo 2:18£, Gertrude Russell 2:22£ and Big Jim 2:23J.
Thebreediog of Robert I. could not be improved upon in
either a race horse or a sire, while his magnificent individu-
ality is not surpassed by any three year old in California.
While this is a grand looking colt there are many others of
the get of Hambletooian Wilkes that are attracting attention
by their canformation and all round good qualities.

The Stallion Record.

Too Closely Inbred to Producers.

A group of California trotting horse admirers were chat-
ting together one day this week, and in the group was a well
known breeder, who displayed a recently printed card on
which the pedigree of his premier stallion had been run out
to the fifth generation, and showed that there was scarcely a
sire or dam therein mentioned but was a producer of speed at
the trot or pace. The tabulation was looked over and com-
mented on in the most favorable manner by everyone in tbe
group except one rather crusty individual whose reputation
as a fault finder or "kicker" is pretty well established. He
was handed the card and asked if he could find any objections
to the stallion's breeding. After scanning the tabulation for
several minutes, turning it over two or three times and look-
ing at it from every point as oae would a picture he said :

"I've only one objection to that pedigree; the horse is too
closely inbred."

"Inbred !" said the owner io an astonished manner. "Why
he is not an inbred horse at all. There's not a name that
appears twice in all that tabulation."

"No; he is not inbred to any horse, but it looks to me as
though he is inbred a little too much to speed"

Mr. Carter said the cigars were on him and they were all
puffing Havanas the next minute.

An Eastern turf journal says: "The salient points now
made in favor of the great Baron Wilkes — perhaps the moBt
popular of liviDg sires — by bis owners are that he has sired
six in the 2:10 lis); also Extasy 2:lQh pacing at two years, the
champion record at the age, and 2:ilA trotting at three
years; also Bumps, bolder of the champion wagon record,
and Baron Rogers 2:09|, who holds tbe world's fcur-mile
trotting record, made in Russia. He also has thirteen in
the 2:12 list, more than any other Bire, and his records aver-
age faster than 2:10. These are powerful facts "

" The stallion record against time era began September 30^
1884, when Maxey Cobb scored 2:13}," writeB 'Veritas' in
Trotter aod Pacer. "He was dethroned in 1889 by Axtell
(3) 2:12, the first and only three year old to take the title.
Next came the 'Northern King' Nelson, who lowered the
record three times io 1890, viz., 2:11J, 2:1U and 2:10|.
AUerton deposed him by trotting in 2:10 on September 4,
1891. Nelson equaled this mars thirteen day* later, and
two days afterward AUerton settled the questioo of supremacy
between them by trotting in 2:09}. At this time Charles
Marvin was preparing Palo Alto for thestallion crown battle,
and ^on it November 7, 1891, in 2:08J on the kite track at
Stockton, Cal. The year 1891 had three stallion kings and
kept racing enthusiasts in a ferment. It was a fitting close
of the high-wheel sulkz age Kremlin was doubly king in
the first part of November, 1892, when be trotted in 2:08J
and 2:07£, of course to a bicvcla sulky, aod theo Slemboul
2:07£, the greatest of the SultaD line, wrested Kremlin'8
honors by scoring bis tumultuous record at StocktoD, Novem
ber 23, 1892. Directum, the great four year old king o
kings, thrice reduced Stamboul's mark during ihe World'
Fair year, twice againBt time in 2:07 and 2:06i, and last o
all his exceedingly hard to beat race record of 2:05}."

THE CALIFORNIA STATE FAIR will offer an
opportunity for immediate and future pecuniary profit
to all breeders of fine stock who exhibit there this year
It ia known to all that there is an active demand for
first class horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry of all
breeds and that breeding will be carried on more ex-
tensively this year than for some time past, but the
public has not yet realized the shortage that really ex-
ists and will continue until the animals bred this year
and next are old enough to place on the market. The
breeding to be done this year of harness horses and
beef and milk cattle will be small compared to the busi-
ness of 1901, as the actual demand for good animals is
certain to be much greater one year from now than at
the present time. With theBe self evident facts in plain
sight the owners of stallions and broodmares, cattle
herds kept for breeding purposes, and of sheep and
swine breeding farms, should begin right now and select
their beat animals for exhibit at the State Fair this
year as well as at every district fair There is always a
great deal of interest manifested by the public in some-
thing that is not plentiful, and it is human nature to
want something that is difficult to acquire. The fast
roadster. Ihe high class carriage horse, the prize beef
and the champion milk producing cow are all in great
demand and the demand is increasing every day. Next
spring there will be many farmers and others who will
realize this fact and they will be looking for animals
with which to increase and improve their stock. The
prize winners and exhibitors at the Fair of 1900 will be
the first to whom applications for these animals will be
made and it therefore behooves every breeder to make
as good an exhibit and endeavor to capture as many
ribbons aa possible this year. Secretary Shields states
that already some of the leading breeders of stock in
California have realized the situation and have made
application for space at the Agricultural Park at
Sacramento. The premium liBt ia to be revised and
issued et:lier than usual and anyone who reads the
signs of the times, which are in plain view, will know
that the atate Fair of 1900 will have an unprecedented
'■e. Those who take advantage of the oppor-
'•lered will certainly profit thereby.

THE NECESSITY of prohibiting that system of
betting known as bookmaking cannot be too stroDgly im-
pressed upon the minds ol the gentlemen who occupy
the responsible positions of Directors of the many dis-
trict fair associations in California. Just so sure as
bookmakers are granted the privilege of handling the
wagers on races just so sure will racing deteriorate in
class, horses decrease in value and the amusement feature
of our district fairs fail to attract the attendance of the
respectable element of the community. The temptation
of the money offered by the bookmaker for the betting
privilege is bard to resist by the Directors who are un-
acquainted with the evil results of the pernicious system.
Not having paid any particular attention to either
manner of betting they cannot understand unless the
matter is thoroughly explained to them, why they should
refuse an absolutely certain amount for this privilege and
take the chances of getting a smaller one. We believe
every person who has the success of our district fairs at
heart and who has given the subject any serious thought
will agree with us that the commissions on wagers, or
the amount paid by bookmakers for the betting privi-
lege should not be looked to as one of the principal
sources of revenue. Where raciDg is a business instead
of a sport, as with all the leading jockey clubs in the
United States, this state of things exists, but in the
management of district fairs the betting shou'd be a
minor affair and not ihe main source of revenue. In
the palmy days of district fairs in California gate re-
ceipts were always expected to provide the largest sum
towards defraying expenses, and this must again be the
case if the district boards expect to make these annual
exhibitions Dopular, instructive and profitable to all
concerned. The bookmaker should have no place at a
district fair. His money is not necessary to its success
and his presence in the conspicuous manner in which he
plies his vocation is a positive detriment. There is no
sin in any person backing his opinion with money pro-
vided the money is his own and he does not risk more
than he can afford to lose. It is just like any
other pleasure or amusement. The evil lies in abuse,
and this is oftener the result where bookmakinS
is the system than in any other manner of wagering
on races. There are honest bookmakers, men who
would scorn to win money by "fixed" races, but
these gentlemen are seldom the highest bidders
when the betting awards are opened by the district
boards. The "sure money" gamblers can afford to give
the largest sums for the betting privileges, as they know
they are taking no chances. The time-honored Ameri-
can system of auction pools or the pari mutuel syBtem
as used in France and Australia meet all the require-
ments of race betting and are the only ones that should
be allowed at harness meetings. All systems have been
tried at California fairs, and it is the universal verdict
that bookmaking has done more to bring racing into
disrepute than anything ever introduced on the tracks
of California. If the Directors of the agricultural dis.
districts desire to make their meetings high class, they
will open no bids for the privilege of bookmakiDg.

A NEW COATING OF CLAY is to be placed upon
the race track at the State Fair grounds at Sacramento
and a special effort is to be made to make it the best and
fastest track in California. The racing program for
1900 will be attended to by a special committee of the
Directors, and horsemen can rest assured that it will be
the best ever offered them. The splendid success of last
year's fair has stimulated the Directors to still greater
efforts and the fair of 1900 will certainly outshine any
that has preceded it. With a good track, the only
drawback to high class racing at Sacramento will be
obviated and as there will be at least ten weeks in addi-
tion given by the district fairs on the California grand
circuit, horse owners will have greater opportunities for
profitable racing than had been enjoyed in this State for
years. In the language of the spell binder "the glorious
effulgence of coming prosperity is illuminating the State
from Siskiyou to San Diego and from the Sierras to
the sea."

THE MOST convincing evidence that stock in a
high class racing association is a very profitable invest-
ment is the fact recently stated by the New York Times
that one of the best informed men in the business re-
cently offered the widow of Col. Kip $105 per share for
the entire block of stock that the Colonel held in the
Coney Island Jockey Club. She refused the offer on the
advice of Mr. W. K. Vanderbilt, the new president of
the club, who told her agent that she had better hold it
for at least $200, as the stock was well worth that sum.

THE HORSE PARADISE, is the name bestowed
on Saratoga and aptly so, as the climate of that beautiful
locality has such a rejuvenating effect upon worn out
racers and it is so exhilarating for the colts that they
seem to grow and make speed faster there than any place
in the whole eastern country, while the charm of the
race course and its surroundings are the subject of praise
from all persons who have visited the spot. The Sara-
toga Association has announced in this issue of the
Breeder and Sportsman a grand lot of stakes which
will doubtless attract a splendid lot of entries from
the strings now racing in California. They will
be found in full in our advertising columns, together
with all the conditions governing them. Entry to these
stakes will close on Thursday, March 1st, thus giving
ample time for their consideration by owners. Entry
blanks can be had at this office or will be sent to anyone
desiring the same. The Secretary of the Saratoga Asso-
ciation is Mr. C. F. Rush Jr., whose office ia at 1402
Broadway, New York, and to whom all communications
should be addressed.

THERE IS BIG MONEY to be won on the Northern
Racing Circuit, which comprises the race tracks at
Detroit, Fort Erie and Montreal. This circuit commences
at Highland Park, Detroit, June 12th, and a special
train caries horses through the circuit at a veiy low rater
The accommodations at the tracks and hotels are first
class and horsemen will find the secretary, Mr. Walte.
O. Parmer, whose office is at 213 Hammond Building,
Detroit, an affable gentleman who will show them every
courtesy. The entries to 13 rich srakes to be run at
these meetings will close Tuesday, February 20th, and
as all the amounts and conditions are stated in our ad-
vertising columns horsemen who are going East should
read tbem carefully and enter before the time of closing
expires. The conditions aie very liberal.

No belter evidence of returning prosperity could be given
than the interest that has been shown in the Bale of fine
horses at the stock yards this week. The general attendance
of horsemen from all parts of the country has been large and
prices uniformly higher than one year ago. Any animal of
attractive conformation and of fair turn of speed brought
out spirited betting and waB sure to bring a good price. More
horses have been sold during this sale for $200 and upward
than at any fine horse sale ever conducted in Chicago. Buy-
ing on foreign account has been of large volume, Carl Pia-
tnik, Vienna, Austria, payiDg $5600 for lour trotters for ex.
portation during the Bale. Many horses were purchased for
export to Ecgland for $200 to $&75.

At a meeting of the Board of Stewards of the California
Jockev Clnb held this week, the ruling in the case of Jcckey
Burns was modified insofar as to allow him to ride for the
stables of Jno. W. Schorr & Son and Burns & Waterhonse
until May 1st; after that date his mounts will be restricted
to the entries of the Schorr stable.

It is rumored that Burns & Waterhouse intend to dispose
of most of the horses they have in training at the present
time, thus making room for the many two year olds which
they have coming on.

STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Election of Officers and Annual Report of
Secretary Peter J. Shielda.

8acbambnto, Feb. — The annual meeting of the State
Board of Agriculture was held this afternoon and A. B.
Spreckels was unanimously elected president. Secretary P.
J. Shields presented his annual report.

In nominating Mr. Spreckels for re-election Director
Frederick Cox paid a high tribute to that gentleman's ser-
vices, saying that the unprecedented success of the last ex-
position was in part due to his energetic efforts. With him
as president there could be no doubt that the success of 1899
would surely be repeated in 1900. Very pleasant relations
between the members had resulted from Mr. Spreckels'
administration.

Director Johnson indorsed the statements of Director Cox
and President Spreckels was unanimously re elected. Di-
rector Frederick Cox was elected vice-president. Director
W. P. Mathews was again chosen superintendent of the
pavilion and Director J. M. Wilson superintendent of the
park.

The premium list was ordered revised. The matter of the
payment of the 6econd, third and fourth moneys in the Stan-
ford Stake of 1897 was referred to the Pacific Coast Board of
Appeals, as were other protests received from horsemen.

The Secretary reported a great interest being taken in the
8tate Fair of 1900, and that an unprecedented number of
exhibits had already been guaranteed, and stalls and pens at
the Park and space at the Pavilion have already been re-
served.

In presenting his report Secretary Peter J. Shields die.
claimed any effort or ability to picture the resources of Cali-
fornia, and said the document was intended only as a review
of the State's principal products. Wheat still continues the
staple crop, the yield of 1899 beiog worth $21,000,000.
Barley, corn and oats were lesser crops, the area of which
will probably not be extended. Fertilizing wheat fields in
Australia has proved to be very successful and the Board
has undertaken some experiments in !this direction which it
will report next year. The grain grown on the fertilized
tracts will be shown at the State Fair in 1900. The Eastern
shipment of fresh fruit last year was the heaviest ever sent
out of the State. The quality was good and the prices satis.
factory. One hundred and twenty-three carloads of fresh
fruit were sent to Europe with success and profit, and iir's
market may develop to large proportions. The dried fruit
product waB somewhat Jehort, but the prices were good.
Organization by the producers was urged and honest packing
recommended. Dried fruit shipments to Europe have rap*
idly increased and promise well. The prune crop was heavy
and good, but prices low. Orchardists were recommended
to join the new association.

Over 3,000,000 caseB of canned fruit and vegetables were
packed in 1899. The raisin crop was short, but as a result
of the growers' association the prices were good. The
growing of citrus fruit has been extensively engaged in
California now standing second only to Florida as a producer'
Prices of oranges and lemons have been good and the busi-
ness is profitable. Olives, figs and nuts are grown in quantity
and excellence sufficient to supply the American market-
Wine-grape growing has been productive of profit and the
conditions warrant further planting. Phylloxera has attacked
oar vines and farther planting should be on resistant stock.
Adulteration should be prohibited by strict legislation.

An interesting review of the beet-sugar industry by Claus
Spreckels was incorporated in the report. Seven hundred
thousand acres of land in California is suitable for sugar-beet
culture. The conditions here are more favorable than e'se"
where in the United States, the beets richer in saccharine
and beet growing is rapidly developing and improving the
State.

Hops grow to a higher perfection and are freer from dis-
ease than elsewhere. In California there has never been a
crop failure, and here is grown abuut one-third of the amount
consumed in the United States. Prices are low at present
and farther planting is discouraged. About 2,000,000 pounds
of honey are produced per annum. The blossoms, Sowers,
sage and clovers make as good honey as is grown in the
world.

California horses are famous all over the world, and from
them is derived a large revenue by Bales io the Eastern Ststea
and in Europe. Only good sized, good dispositioned animal-
should be bred. The breeding of a high class of road horeea
is advised, and farmers are urged to breed for some special
purpose, and aim to produce some special type. Horsemen
should look to the islands and the Orient for a good market.

The cattle eupply is now short, but under conditions found
here can be rapidly made up. California has no cattle
plagues, no blizzards and cattle reproduce rapidly. The

type of cattle is good and they are well bred. More pure
bred cattle should be bred here, and breeders should endeavor
to beat the Nevada herds, which have beaten them for the
last three years, Texas fever is confined w-thin narrow
limi.s, and is now well under control. Dairymen have noj
made the progress they should under existing favorable con-
ditions. The Dairy Bureau reports many herdB producing
less than 100 pounds of butter per cow per annum. Are-
port from three excellent herds is given. Hohteins in the
San Joaquin valley, owned by Mrs. M. E. Sherman, pro-
duced 339 pounds of butter per cow. Alfalfa fed Shorthorn
grades, owned by G. F. Cornish, of Yolo county, produced
255 pounds per caw without grain. Fifty-five Jersey grades
owoed by Charles Decarli of Humboldt county, produced on
grass aud cut folder wi bout grain, 339 pounds per cow for
1S99 and in 1890 the ejreat yield of 411 pounds. Reports
from these parties, shoving how this wa* done, are pub-
lished.

More poultry should be bred, as the business is profitable
and the conditions excelleot. The wool clip of the State
has steadily fallen oil since 1876, but an increase is now indi"
cated. Angora goats produce fine fleeces here and thrive
well. Irrigation should be more extensively practiced. It
insures enormous yields and guarantees an unfailing crop.
The Philippine marke: and that of Alaska and the Orient
are opening up to us The Nicaragua canal and these mar-
kets insure the State great commercial prosperity. Good
road legislation should be enacted. lu migration is needed,
but should be a good class. The farmers of California are
among the highest of their class, and to meet progressive re-
quirements necessitates a good quality of manhood. Agri-
cultural education along practical lines is necessary to keep
up the progress of the State and to maintain its supremacy .
The fair of 1899 was a great success and did a valuable work .
The society promotes agricultural education and its appro-
priation should be increased. Altogether the report is most
exhaustive and will be invaluable as an immigration docu-
ment, and as a book of reference for agricultural statistics.

GRANDLY BRED.

Los Angeles Notes

James Sanford, of Lob Angeles, wbo has been one of the
raoBt successful drivers of fast harness horses in California,
has gone to El Paso, Texas, where he has been offered a
position as trainer of a large stable of horses. Mr. Sanf jrd
drove Rex Alto 2:07$, when that horse beat Monterey 2:09J,
and held the lines over Juliet D. 2:13}, You Bet 2:12£, Roan
Wilkes 2:12|, Gray Jim 2:20, 8ir Gird 2:26, Betty Gentry
2:17 and many others. "Jim" as all call him, is one of the
best teamsters in Southern California, and besides knowing
how to condition horses and teach them the way they should
go, is an excellent race driver and does not lose his heid no
matter how hot the finish. It is reported in Los Angeles
that the string of horses be will handle in the Lone Star
state is a very promising one, and that he will find his new
surroundings most pleasant and get to the wire first many
times this year is the wish of all his friends in California.

There are more thin one hundred horses now at the Lob
Angeles track being worked besides thirty head of bronchos
recently purchased from E. J. Baldwin and being broken for
Bale. They are a lot that Aba Cile of 8an Bernardino sold
to Baldwin about six months ago.

There is not a string of horses at Lob AugeleB that will
go East this year except those belonging to Judge Coburn of
Colorado Springs and now being trained by Ei Connelly,
unless the district associations put off the announcements of
their classes too long. Ail the Cilifornia trainers would
rather race at home, but when they see the programs sent
out by the Eastern associations it is a very strong inducement
to go over there and try to get some of the money. If the
California associations delay their announcements there ie a
feeling that perhaps they may not give meetiogs at all and
the boys enter at Denver and Colorado Springs and go on
over into the Mississipi valley, where there is always plenty
of racing. If we knew right now what classes that Northern
California circuit intended giving we would begin getting
horses ready for them. We do not expect or want them to
be advertised to close early, but we would like to know as
soon as possible what classes we will be required to trot and
pace io. Geo. T. Beckers

Diotatus 2:19 1-4 Carries the Blood of the
Royal Families.

There are few horses living whose tabulated pedigree
makes a better showiog than that of the chestnut stallion
Dictatus, one of the speediest horses that ever lived and one
that should have a record of 2:06 instead of 2:19}.

Red Wilkes, the aire of Dictatus, is the greatest living sire
having 144 in the standard list and ie still in vigorous health
and will make a season in the slui this year. He is a son of
George Wilkes whose sons have sired considerably over two
thousand standard performers and oat of Queen Dido, a
daughter of Mambrino Chief 11 and a mare by the thorough-
bred Red Jacket. Red Wilkes, besides having 144 of his
get in the list, has 77 sons that have sited 312 standard per-
formern, and 54 of his daughters have produced 80 wilh
records of 2:30 or better. Red Wilkes is undoubtedly one of
the greatest speed producers, and his blood is breeding on.

The dam of Dictatus was 6ired by Dictator, who not only
sired 56 with standard records, but baa sons and daughters
that are among the greatest. 48 of his sons have sired 212
and 51 of his daughters 74 in 2:30. Dictator sired the
champion race horse Director 2:18, and he sired Directum
2:05} and Direct 2:05}, both champions, and the latter has
sired Directly 2:03} that took a record of 2:07} at two years.
Miss Lollie, the dam of Dictatus 2:19}, is a producer, and
her dam, Gold Pen by Mambrino Abdallah, produced Felina
2:29$. There is rroduciog blood all through the pedigree of
Dictatus and he is himBelf a producer, Dictatress 2:121
being his daughter and she one of but three or four of his get
ever trained. Dictatress is one of the gamest pieces of horse-
flesh ever raced and has never been outside the money. LaBt
year she met all the 2:10 pacers on the Coast and though she
won but one race, secured five second moneys, three thirds
and one fourth, She won $1700 and will reduce her mark
this year barring accidents. All of the get of Dictatus are
good lookers and there are several very handsome roadsters
that were sired by him. He was spoiled for a race horae or
he would have taken a very low record. He has been to the
half in a minute more than once. The Wilkes blood with
that of Dictator and Mambrino Patchen makes a combina-
tion that is valuable Dictatus will make the season at
Salinas this year at the low price of $25. He already has
a large number of mares booked, those having coltB by him
being so well pleased that they are booking to him again.

Long Dived and Prolific.

"Columbis" writes io the Western Horseman of last week
an account of a most prolific broodmare. She was a^gray
mare named Flora, says "Columbus" and the last time the
writer saw her was in February 1882, at which time she was
twenty-eight years old and heavy wilh foal to Grandson, by
Lakeland Abdallah. Flora was at that time the dam of
nineteen living foals, and appeared like a well-preserved
mare of eighteen or twenty, rather than a matron of twenty,
eight years. Flora was Biied by a son of Diomed, and Mr.
Hunt informed the writer that she had proven more valuable
than any hundred acres of his highly productive farm, and
all her foals maturing into valuable horses. For fifteen years
afjer beginning'^her life as a broodmare Flora foaled a healthy
Btroag foal; after that the old mare foaled alternate years.
Every foal dropped by Flora was alive and accounted for in
1882 by Mr. Hunt, a most remarkable occurrence.

Jockey T. Walsh had a streak of luck on Wednesday
and rode three winners.

Montana will not have a trolling circuit this year id all
probability.

This promises to be the heaviest season ever made by
Boodle 2:124.

There will be at leaBt four months of good harness racing
in California 1Mb year.

P. C. Knox, of Pittsburg, Pa., is driving Dr. Leek 2:091,
to pole with Wert 2:15i.

Don't fail to fill out tbe blank "What Classes do yon
waDt?" and return to this office.

Harry Nethawah of Berea, O , who was out two seasons
ago with Exploit, the gray pacing stallion, which he marked
at 2:08£ in the Chamber of Commerce Stake, is now at the
Kalamazoo Farm. He has twenty-five horses in training.
As a whole, thev are as promising a lot as can be found in
any one stable in the country. He has, among others that
are promising, a four year old filly by Direct, dam by Nut-
wood; another by Direct, dam by ADteeo.

A Cleveland man has bought the stallion Antezella
2:16i, hy Anteeo, dam Gazelle, by Guy Wilkes, payiDg $5000
for him.

Judge Guy, brother to Chanty 2:13|, by Guy Wilkes
2:15J, is one of the most promising two year olds in training
at Selma, Alabama.

Hon. D. N. Heizer, Colorado Springs, has Bold the suc-
cessful sire Kankakee, by Mambrino Russell, dam Green-
wood Maid, by Strathmore, to E Knell, Carthage, Mo , for
$1000.

W. E. Spier has bought the Favorite Wilkes mare that
produced Nirvena and will breed her to Directum. .Nirvena,
who is by Directum, could s'.ep in 2:15 last year as a two
year old.

W. W. Mendenball has booked his mare Moorland
Lass, sired by Soudan, dam Carrie Malone (the sister to
Klatawah 2:05£, Chas. Derby 2:20, and other good ones) to
Boodle 2:12£.

De Bernardi Basler 2:164 brought $500 at the Splan-
Newgass sale in Chicago last week. A very fair price for
him as it will co«t several hundred dollars to start him on
.National Association tracks.

Alroy, by Almont, dam by Conscript, died recently at
Earlville, 111. He was the sire of Jessie C. 2:10}; Alzippa
2:14}, and several other fast ones, and was a brother to
Algooa, sire of Flying Jib 2:04.

The election of a Board of Directors fc the Golden Gate
Park Driving Association will be held at the rooms of the
Association in the Palace Hotel next Tuesday evening. The
attendance of every member is requested.

The Nebraska trotting circuit has been formed and will
include Fremont, York, McCook, Kearney, Orleans, Indian-
ola, Geneva, Hubbell, Superior, Osceola, Clay Center and
Hastings, with a three day's meeting at each.

B. O. Van Bokkelen will campaign Thompson 2:14*
by Boodle 2:12* through the East this year, he having re-
cently purchased that horse from J. B. Bonrjette of Santa
Maria for another party. The price paid was $1200 cash.

Hulda 2:08J, has a foal at foot. It is a colt and its daddy
is Searchlight 2:03}. Mr. A. B. Spreckels has named the
little fellow Lyddite and there is no doubt he will be ''beard
from" in the future. Lyddite has a greater speed inheritance
than any colt ever foaled in California.

We call the attention of breeders to Mr. Burke's ad. of a
handsome McKinney stallion for sale whose ?peed as a two
year old can be Vouched for by such men as KeatiDg, Win-
ship, LaSerty, Bunch aud Durfee, who saw him trot quarters
over the Los Angeles track in 34 seconds.

Bummed up, Searchlight's career reads: Money won
$21,802; races won 26; races lost 6, heats won 76; heals lost
22; miles faster than 2:20, 69; faster than 2:15, 51; faster than
2:10, 43; faster than 2:05, 12. All these miles were p^ced in
class or stake races, none in specials nor against time.

Old Guy 2:095, that has been sold and resold, has again
changed hands, W. H. Gocher, of Hartford, haviog dis-
posed of tbe old veteran. Guy was once sent to auction and
a bid of $29,900 received for him, but bis then owner, Mr.
Gordon, of Cleveland, bid him in at an even $30,000. He
is Btill very fast on the snow if speeded without shoes.

The mare, Miss Duke, 2:24}, by Simmons, it is said will
be one of the great trotters of the year. As a three year
old she stepped a mile in 2:14}, and George Leavitt bought
her for a Boston gentleman. She was entered in the M. and
M. last year, and a short lime before the race, when in very
promising condition, she was taken sick. She has been
taken up and will be seeo in public this year.

The owner of Mascot 2:04 says that he has permanently
retired that former champion from the lorf. A recapitula-
tion of Mascot's career shows that he started in sixtv-eight
contest, winning first money in 33, second in 16, third in 9,
three times fourth and unplaced seven limes. In stakes and
purees be won nearly $25,000 and received several thousand
more for exhibitions and specials.

At a meeting of the directors of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders' Association, the following early closing
events for their Grand Circuit meeting were decided upoD:
The Massachusetts, for 2:12 trotters, $10,000; the Blue Hill,
for 2:35 trotters, $5000; 2:25 class, for three year old trotters,
$2000; the Neponset, for 2:10 pacers, $5000; 2:14 class for
pacers, $3000; 2:25 pacers, $3000. It was also decided to
give a four days meeting the week commencing July 1st.
EutrieB to the early closing events for the Grand Circuit
meeting will close March 10. b.

Robert Ga&side, of Salinas, has sent a fine mare sired by
Nutwood Wilkes dam bv Junio to San Jose lo be bred to
Boodle 2:12}. Mr. Garside Bays that if a man will travel
acioss the continent and pay $1000 for a yearling colt sired
bv Nutwood Wilkes out of a Boodle mare as Mr. Mahaney
did when he purchased the colt Col. Carter, that perhaps
somebody will travel a few miles to purchase a colt sired by
Boodle out of a Nutwood WilkeB mare. In other words Mr.
Garside believes in the Boodle — Nutwood Wilkes combi-
nation.

The announcement of Mr. Geo. W. Ford's stallion Neer-
nut 2:12} appears in the advertising columns of the Breeeer
and. Sportsman to-day. It arrived too late for the usual
extended notice given all advertisements of this character,
but it will appear next week accompanied by a half tone
likeness of this son of Albert W. 2:20 and Clyde 2d by Nut-
wood. Neeruut will make the season of 1900 at Santa Ana
at $40, and has already had some very choice mares booked
to him. He represents the two greatest trotting families —
Electioneer anJ Nutwood.

There are few colts any handsomer than the twenty
months old black son of Altamont owned by Mr. GoLt, the
Alameda jeweler. The colt's dam is by a son of Fallis and
his second dam a mare called Fashion, said to be by Jack
Hawkins, though Mr. G'ott says he has never been able to
get any reliable ioformation as to her breeding. The colt is
coal black, has as fine a coat as was ever seen on a horse and
bis conformation and style very near perfection. Mr. Gott
is breaking him to drive and finds him a very intelligent' and
apt pupil and though fall of life and vim does not seem to
be afraid of anything.

The Indianapolis Driving Club is on its feet again, erect
and in robust form for 1900. Some two hundred of the best
business men of Indianapolis have joined tbe club and Mayor
Taggart, proprietor of the Grand Hotel, has been elected
president. A meeting has already been agreed upon for the
week preceding the grand circuit meeting at Detroit. Sec-
retary T. S. Graves annouucss that liberal stake events will
be given and the class parses will be large enough to tempt
the presence of the best talent of the trotting turf. The
meeting will be held on the mile track of the Indiana State
Fair Association, one of the best tracks in the United States.

The anli-heat-bettiDg crusade was given quite a bit of im-
petus at a meeting of horsemen at Cleveland recently. The
meeting was largely of local horsemen, but they are repre-
sentative, and their action clearly indicates the general sen-
timent of real horsemen — not pool-box speculators. The
resolution passed is as follows : "We tbe undersigned, breed-
ers, owners, drivers of race horses or turf patrons, knowing
that heat betting is a positive injury and detriment to everv
branch of the trotting horse business, do hereby petition all
the trolling associations to abolish from their tracks this evil,
and, in return, we agree to favor by our patronage the tracks
that comply with this reform in preference to others."

There is no other such nip aud tuck record in the his-
tory of the turf as tbe performances of John R. Gentry 2:00A
and Joe Patchen 2:0l|, against each other. Thev have met
twenty-six times and each has beaten the other thirteen
times. This includes the tour of last season.

There are in Los Angeles county three yonng McKinneys'
that will enter hie 2:15 list if raced. One is a full sister to
Coney 2:07 i and MiZpur 2:13 and has already worked a mile
in 2:19*, last half in 1:06. Another out of a mare bv Gren.i
Grand trotted a mile in 2:16. and a quarter in 31 seconds,?
I*rsd another out of a Nutwood mare has been a mile at tber
■ ot id 2:26$. These are all fillies and high cla s ones alt
.iat.

While in Detroit last week Harry Hamlin bought of C.
H. Fee of that city tbe pacing gelding, Hal Pointer 2:044 by
Tom Hal, and will send him to Village Farm to run in idle-
ness the balance of his days. Harrv Hamlin, it will be
remembered, bought this horse in 1890 and with him won
many thousands of dollars and much prestige for tbe farm's
6table, while his Irainer, E F. Geers, owes a laige portion
of his fame to the Pointer horse. Following his defeat at
Buffalo, Bome five years ago, by Mascot, he was sold by O. J.
Hamlin for a small sum and after being banged around the
minor tracks and passed through several hands, was bought
by Mr. Fee for road use. He will oow roam the Village
Farm paddocks for the balance of his life.

As a sire of new 2:15 performers for 1899, Baron Wilkes
has a long lead over all other stallions, no less than six new
ones having entered the list last season. They are all trot-
ters and have records as follows: Roval Baron 2:10}, Extasy
(3) 2:1U, Grand Baron 2:12}, Tesla 2:12}, Prince of Iodia
2:13A and Baronwood 2:144. A new performer for 1899 that
should be credited to Baron Wilkes is tbe bay stallion Baron
D.. which took a record of 2:1S In Texas late in the fall.
This horee paced a half in 1:03 and il is the intention of his
owner to race him through the Grand Circuit next season.
Baron D. is out of that great brocdmare Q'leen Ethel, by
Srathmore, and is a fail brother to the wagon champion
Bumps 2:03}, and Moko, sire of the fast two year old filly
Fereno 2:17£.

A dispatch from Garfield. Colo., says that cowbovs have
returned from Grand Mesa with a large number of horses,
from which the maneB and tails were entirely eaten away by
each other, owing to the absence of food to sustain life.
: They report the snow to be from three to four feet deep, and
| it seems these horses had got into a basin in the mountains.
The snow piling up so rapidly prevented them from beiog
able to dig down to the food, and caused them to gnaw down
,.treea that were four or five inches in diameter, and to de-
vour all the coarse hair on each other's bodies. Three or
four of the horses were dead, and if the hunters had not
jjarrived when they did, there would not have been a horse
-i eft alive. Riders are out on the range everywhere looking
'■ or lost cattle and horses.

John H. Shults was among the horse owners who de-
clined to join the combination against early-closing harness
racing. ''They wanted me to sign that agreement to boycott
any trotting association which offers a purse or a stake closing
prior to July 1st," said he to a reporter of the New York
Sun, "but I said ;No, I won't be a party to any kind of a
combination like that; I don't believe in boycotts.' I don't
believe in entering my horses in these installment races
either, but if anybody else wants to enter bis horses in them
it's none of my business Let them go on and enjoy them-
selves. It's their privilege. Ab for my own horsee I am
going to divide them up into two strings, giving one to Andy
McDowell and the other to Al Thomas. I shall let them
get the horses in shape to race before I make any entries.
Whenever Thomas and McDowell tell me they are ready to
go to the races I will say to them: 'Go ahead, boys, enter
wherever you like.' But I'm not going to nominate a lot of
horBes six months or so before they are ready to race, when
I don't know anything about them. I have tried that plan
year after year, and it isn't satisfactory to me. Perhaps it is
to other people, however; and if it is, why should I help to
break it up'7 I never expect to have so many good horses
that I can't find an opportunity to race them in tbe regular
open classes. "

One of the most successful trotting-horse breeders in this
county recently remarked: " I see that Williams has bought
four more stallions. Now, do you know that in my opinion
he never did a wiser thing in his life? Did you ever stop to
think that we have now arrived at the point where there are
bat very few great trotting sireB left? A great many have
died within the last few years and others are old and likely
to pass away any day, and there has been bo little breeding
done in the past few years that the younger stallions have
had no chance to make reputations for themselves as sires.
Williams' idea in uniting the blood of George Wilkes and
Electioneer 1b also right in mv line of belief. Our best
horses in the future will come from uniting the blood of
Hambletonian's two greatest sons, George Wilkes and Elec-
tioneer. I see the papers Bay he paid about $35,000 for the
the four horses. Of course, no one except Williams knows
exactly how much he did pay, but in my mind there is no
question that one year from to-day they will bring two or
three times as much as they sold for. He has used good
judgment in selecting them, buying the very choicest ones
money would buy. The five stallions that Mr. Williams
now owns, including Allerton and the four just purchased,
are the best ot ever owned by any breeder in this country,
and they will be very liberally patronized in the Blue Grass
region of Kentucky. — American Stock Farm.

Among the visitors to the ^Breeder and Sportsman
office this week was Mr. Max Gross, buyer for the firm of S.
& F. Berg, horse dealers of Berlin. Mr. Gross does not speak
English, but as he was accompanied by his brother Mr.
Ljopold Gross, the well kown tobacco merchant of this city,
there was no diffieuhy in exchanging ideas and views pertain-
ing to horse matters. Mr. Gross has just returned from a
visit to Palo Alto Stock Farm, which he was enthusiastic
over and said it was undoubtedly the best appointed and
best located breeding and training farm in the world; and he
also said that in his opinion it led all others in the quality
of its annual output. Mr. Gross did not come to California
for the purpose of purchasing horses and left for New York
last Wednesday where he will be a bidder at the Fasig-
Tipton sale which begins next week. During the year the
firm of S. & F. Berg, which he represents, disposed of over
4000 horses in Germany. All these horses were Bold on a four
weeks guarantee, and when it is stated that not one anima.
was returned during the vear the fact necessarily follows that
all the horses were just as represented, and speaks volumes
for the way the horse business is carried on in Berlin, Mr.
Gross says the best harness horses in the world are bred in
America, and has found that a majority of tbe people here
with whom he does business deal with him in a straight-
forward manner and do not misrepresent their horses in the
least, but be has found that there are quite a number who do
not act in this manner and he is compelled to keep his eyes
open when buyine from strangers. Mr. Gross is a very in-
telligent gentleman, and those who have seen him looking a
horse over say that he is one of the best judges of the ani-
mal that does business in the American markets.

In looking over the tables of broodmares which have pro-
duced two or more 2:15 performers, in the last number of the
Horse Beview, I was struck with the great number of them
which had produced their 2:15 performers to the cover of
sires possessing the blood of George Wilkes. Out of the 108
mares in the table, 60 have produced one or more of their
2:15 performers to the cover of sires having a strain of
Wilkes blood. Another feature of the table is that eight of
the 12 Wilkes mares in it have produced one or more of their
2:15 representatives to the cover of Wilkes stallions, thus
showing the good results attained by inbreediDg in the
Wilkes family. One of these mares is China Wilkes by
Adrian Wilkes. She is the dam of L. L. D. 2:08$, Oenone
2:11} and Jennv Wilkes 2:12£. all by Woodford Wilkes—
not by Adrian Wilkee as the Beview states. Both Adrian
Wilkes and Woodford Wilkes are sons of George Wilkes.
Another is Grace Kaiser, dam of Coney 2:072- and McZaua
2:13, both by McKinney, grandson of George Wilkes.
Kaiser, her sire, is a son of George Wilkes. lone Wilkes by
Red Wilkes, son of George Wilkes, produced Sally Toler
2:06| and Bert Oliver 2:08| by Ashland Wilkes, a Bon of Red
Wilkee. Cathedral bv George Wilkes produced Pilgrim
2:10i and Pastoral 2:13} to Onward, son of George Wilkes.
Willie Wilkes by George Wilkes produced Rachel 2:08} to
Baron Wilkes, son of George Wilkes. Carrie Wilk*e, alBO
a daughter of George WilkeB, produced Bay Baron 2:12} by
Baron Wilkes, and Effie Davis by Red Wilkes, son of George
Wilkes, produced Lord Sumrall 2:13} by Don Pizarro, grand-
son of George Wilkes, and Gowan- 2:13} to Gambetta
Wilkes, son of George Wilkes. Only a few sires are repre-
sented by more than one daughter in this list and it is theie-
fore plain to see that those with more than one daughter in
it are entitled to more than ordinary honor. Those having
this distinction are: Nutwood 2:18f with four daughters,
Mambrino Patchen with three, Red Wilkes with three, Blue
Bull with three, George Wilkes 2:22 with three. Mambrino
King with two, Harold with two, Arthurton with two, Mam-
brino Abdallah with two, Mambrino Startle with two. The
full significance of the table of mares which have produced
two or more 2:15 performers is more apparent when we re-
member that it was only a few years ogj that a mare's great-
ness as a producer was measured by the number of her pro-
duce in the 2:30 list. — Raymond in Horse World.

IMP GETS TOP WEIGHT.

Oakland Summaries.

Figures for the Three Big Handicaps Are
Announced.

High Hoe has shown improvement eince she has charjged
owners, winning both her last starts in the colors of Pete
Komigh.

Timemaker was taken with a bad attack of colic and
fever on Satardav, which accounts tor his poor showing in
the stake race.

Lucidia, a Buckmaster filly, owned by BurnB & Water-
honse, is possessed of quite a turn of epeed. Starting last
Saturday in a four furlong race, she won rather handily,
running the distance in 0:48J.

Spencer's ride on Wyoming was a rather ill judged
effort. It looked from the grand stand as if, had Spencer
gone on with the horse, after gaining the lead, that he would
have experienced no difficulty in winning.

Andrisa showed herself to be a pretty shifty sort of a
three year old filly; conceding lumps of weight to such good
sprinterB as Ben Ledi, Loving Cap, Frank Bell and Theory
she experienced no difficulty in winning in a most impressive
manner.

Dogtown finally struck a soft spot, and rewarded his
backers by winning the first race of the day on Tuesday. He
was backed down from four to eight to five and led through-
out; although opposed to a very ordinary field he had to be
shaken up several times to keep him going.

Billy Randall has played in hard luck with Mb horse
Bilver Beaux. After getting him ready for a race and back-
ing him heavily on the occasion of his first Btart, he was left
at the poBt and on Saturday last while being exercised the
horse fell and snapped a bone in his shoulder and was after-
wards destroyed.

Flamero has Bhown himself to be a fair sort of selling
plater, easily disposing of Del Paso, Mont Eagle and quite a
good field of horses. Don Cameron is to be congratulated in
securing this horse as he has not been in the best of luck
with his Btable this season, which, though composed of good
horses, had not been able to win.

Montgomery, which woa the six furlong dash in the
easiest possible manner, was s^ stiff and sore that his odds
receded a couple of points. His owner was afraid that the
old gelding would break down and let him run unbacked.
The horse, notwithstanding his easy victory, pulled up very
lame and it will probably be a difficult matter to patch him
up for further racing purposes.

Martin Nathanson, the secretary of the Harlem Racing
Association, was here during the week soliciting horsemen to
ship their horses to Chicago at the close of the current sea-
son. He goes from here to New Orleans, and later will
visit Memphis, Louisville and other places where Horses are
wintering, returning to Chicago a few days before March 1st,
at which time the Harlem stake entries close.

The American Derby, one of the classic events of the
American turf, will be renewed this year at Chicago; tbe
Washington Park Club, which gives the highest class racing
in the West, having decided to give a four weeks' meeiiog
commencing June 23d. In addition to the $10 000 offered
for the Derby, other stakes' aggregating $25,000 will be an-
nounced, entries for which will close March 7th.

The most sensational feature of the racing on Monday
was th» win of Frank McMahon's gelding Stromo, in tbe
mile and a furlong race. This is the second time this season
that Stromo has won at this distance with remunerative odds
about him. Frank McMabon and eeveral of bis friends
made handsome winnings over this rt>cf; ia most instances
obtaining as good as eighty to one for their money.

Jockey Devin made a sorry exhibition of horsemanship
on Rosinante in the Naglee 8elling Stake. Off second at ihe
start, he lost his position and allowed himself to be cut off in
the first turn and at the half mile was in last position lengths
out of the race. In the run through the stretch tbe mare
made up a world of ground and was beaten less than a length,
finishing stronger and fresher than any horse in tbe rece.

When the entries for the Brooklyn, Suburban and Brigh-
ton Handicaps were announced a few weeks ago, the amateurs
at once set to work to figure out the handicap weights that
should be assigjed to tbe candidates. In most cases the
choice lay between Imp, the speedy WeBtern mare that cap-
tured last year's Suburban, and Banastar, who was left at the
post in that event, but who won the Brooklyn Handicap.
Banastar was not figured on in the Brighton, for he was not
named as a candidate.

W. 8. Vosburgh, the official handicapper of the Jockey
Club, has now made his assignment of weights in the three
events and until all three races have been decided the fol-
lowers of the turf in all parts of the United Stales will make
tbe lists of candidates and the weights the subject of deep
study. In all three events Mr. Vcsburg gives to Imp. in
spite of her sex, the place of honor. He haB evidently greatly
chaDged his opinion of the meritB of the mare, for la«t year
he frequently let her in handicaps at such light weights as
to almost insure victory for her. Jean Beraud, one of
William C. Whitney's candidates, acd Perry Belmont's,
Eihelbert, figure second in Mr. Vosburgh's estimation, for
each gets 127 pounds in the Brooklyn and Suburban, and
pound less in the Brighton. a

At the weights, and judging from last year's form, Banastar
tets the best of treatment at Mr. Vc&burg'B hands. He
comes fourth on the liets in tbe Brooklyn and Suburban,
with an impost of 126 pounds. Cbacornac, who won tbe
rich Futurity for James R. Keene last season, is the top-
weight of the three year olds. He will be asked to take up
105 pounds, while tbe weights assigned the other three year
olds range down to 90 pounds. The weightB for the events
are as follows :

mand by breeders in tbe Corrigan string at Ioglpside is a
two year old that contains the highly successful St. Simon
and MuBket cross. The youngster is by 8t. Andrew, a son
of St. Simon, and the dam is tbe Australian mare Utter by
Martini-Henri, a son of Musket.

The Naglee Selling 8take was down for decision at Oak-
land last Saturday and seven fairly good performers faced
the barrier. Tiuaemaker went to the post favorite at twos
and although off in the lead fel) out of the running before
the three-quarters pole was reached and thereafter was
never prominent, finishing laBt. Dr. 8heppard took com-
mand going up the backBtretcb, but was quickly joined by
Headwater and tbe two made tbe running to tbe paddock
gate, where Dr. Sheppard seemed to have given up tbe
struggle; but Bullman went to work with heels and hands
and the Doctor, coming again, won, driven out to tbe last
ounce from Afamada, which had closed stoutly and nearly
got up in the last stride. Rosioarte came like a whirlwind
from last position and secured third money. The time 1:26
for seven farloDge equalled the coast record.

THE REPEATING SHOTGUN TEST CASE.

Decision of Judge Aogellottl ;Upholds the
Marin County Ordinance.

Tbe Breeder and Sportsman has advocated the
suppression of the repealing magazine shot gun in the
interest of game protection and has also contended that
it is not the gun for a sportsman.

Marin county at the instance of the Fish and Game
Protective Association has seen fit to enact a law pro.
hibiting the use of such a weapon.

The first case arising from the enforcement of the law
has been decided and the views and desires of sportsmen
backed by the county Board of Supervisors have been
sustained.

In the Superior Court of Marin county, at San Rafael,
before Hon. F* M. Angellotti, Judge, the case of W. A-
Marshall on nabeas corpus proceedings came up for trial
on Friday, Januajy 26, 1900. The defendant had been
arrested, taken before a Justice oi the Peace and fined
for a violation of a county ordinance prohibiting the use
of repeating shot guns in the killing of certain wild
game. The case was immediately appealed to the Su-
perior Court.

Before the latter tribunal the people were represented
by Hugh J. Mclsaac, the District Attorney, and E. B.
Martinelli, E*q., the attorney for tbe Marin County Fish
and Game Protective Association. Chas. S. Wheeler,
E q , of the law firm of Bishop and Wheeler of this city,
appeared for the petitioner and avowedly also in the
interests of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company_

A number of witnesses for the petitioner were called
in an attempt to show that magazine repeating shot guns
were not as rapid in their work a3 the ordinary double
barreled automatic-ejector gun, but positive or direct
statements to that effect failed to be elicited under cross-
examination by the District Attorney.

For the purpose of breaking down the ordinance on a
technicality, a magazine gun, which held but two shells
had been specially made. The weapon was of but
little avail as it was easily shown, drawn from petition-
er's witnesses, that the common acceptation and general
meaning of the term ''repeating" or magazine shot gun
applied to guns holding from four to sis shots at one
loading.

Mr. Marshall took the stand and upon cross-examina-
tion testified to having killed four single quails in four
successive shots fired on one bevy flush, a feat that
would be impossible with a doubled barrelled gun and
one which seems pertinently to show the necessity of
prohibiting the use of so destructible a weapon. An-
other of petitioner's witnesses, Mr. Irvine, proprietor of
the San Joaquin Rancho, could not testiiy as to the rela-
tive destructivenes3 of the guns but said that the repeat-
ing shot gun "was not a pleasant gun to shoot with."

Among local sportsmen the decision given below is
received with much satisfaction. Members of the Bar
believe the principles laid down by the learned Jndge
are sound and will stand if the case is carried to the
higher court, which action, it is believed will be taken.

The opinion rendered by Judge Angellotti on the 5th
inst. is as follows :

The petitioner having been convicted of using a re-
peating shot gun for the purpose of killing certain wild
birds, including one quail, in violation of the provisions
of Section 7 of ordinance No. 108 of Marin County,
seeks his discharge from custody, upon the ground that
said section is invalid.

The section in question, contained in an ordinance
that, as appears from its title and tbe nature of its pro-
visions, was enacted for the better protection and pres-
ervation of birds and game in Marin Cjunty, is as
follows, viz:

"Every person who, in the County of Marin, 'shall
use any kind of repeating shot gun, or any kind of
magazine shut gun, for tbe purpose of killing or destroy-
ing any kind of wild duck, geese, quail, partridge, grouse,
doves, or any other birds,' shall be guilty of mis-
demeanor."

The wild game within a State belonging to the people
in thc-ir collective, sovereign capacity, and not being the
subject of private ownership, except in so far as the peo-
ple i <ay elect to make it so, it is well settled that, as
was said in State vs. Rodman 58 Minn. 393, "It is
will in the police power of the S.ate, as the representa*
ti- of the people, in their united sovereignity, to make

such laws as will best preserve such game and secure its
beneficial use in the future, and to that end it may
adopt any reasonable regulations as to the time and
manner in which such game may be taken."

This doctrine is noc disputed here, nor is it disputed
that, under Sec. 11 of Art. IX. of the constitution of
the State, any County may, in the exercise of the police
power conferred upon it thereby, make and enforce
within its limits, all such reasonable regulations for
the protection and preservation of game, as are not in
conflict with general laws.

It is, of course, true, as was said in the recent case of
Ex parte Knapp 59 Pac. Rep. 315, that such regula-
tions must be reasonable, not oppressive to any class and
must not contravene any established policy of the State.
It is claimed here that the provision in question is un-
reasonable, and also that it is in conflict with general
laws.

That an ordinance will be declared void when it
appears to be unreasonable, and that the question of
reasonableness is to be decided by the Courts on the
facts of each special case are well settled doctrines.

But, as was said by the appellate Court in Missouri in
St. Louis vs. Weber 44 Mo. 547, cited approvingly by
our own Supreme Court in Ex parte Frank 52 Cal. 606 —

" In assuming, however, the right to judge of the
reasonableness of an exercise of corporate power, courts
will not look closeiy into mere matters of judgment
where there may be a reasonable difference of opinion.
It is not to be expected that every power will be always
exercised with the highest discretion; and when it is
plainly granted, a clear case should be made to author-
ize an interference on the ground of unreasonableness."

See also Ex parte Lacey 108 Cal. 326.

The presumption is strongly in favor of the reason-
ableness of an ordinance, unless the contrary appears on
its face, or is well established by proper evidence.

Courts are not warranted in intruding upon the
domain of legislative bodies, except in very clear cases.

The most frequent exercise of the right to enact regu-
lations for the purpose of preserving wild game and
securing its beneficial use in the future to the people, is
to be found in laws establishing a close season, but any
regulation as to the manner in which such game may be
taken and killed, that reasonably tends to such preserva-
tion, is equally within the power of the legislative body.
We find in this State, laws enacted by the State legis-
lature prohibiting the taking, at any time, of certain
kinds of fish except by hook and line, the use of certain
kinds of nets for fishing, and the use of a shot gun of a
larger caliber than a ten-gauge, the theory of the legis-
lators being that such methods of taking game would be
unduly destructive and impair the beneficial use in the
future.

On the same line is the provision before the Court,
prohibiting the use of any kind of repeating shot gun or
any kind of magazine shot gun for the purpose of kill-
ing any wild bird.

The term "Repeating Bhot gun" and Magazine shot
gun" are well known and thoroughly understood as be-
ing a form of gun so constructed, that the charges are
successfully introduced by some mechanical contrivance
from a chamber or magazine in the gun containing them
into the breech and fired.

No gun is known as a repeating shot gun unless it be
so arranged as to deliver more than two shots from one
loading. Some repeating- shot guns are naturally more
effective than others, but the well understood object in
the manufacture of repeating firearms was to obtain
greater rapidity in firing, by making available several
shells or cartridges by one loading.

That this object has been attained to the extent of the
capacity of the magazine of the gun is not seriously dis-
puted by the witnesses who were examined on behalf of
the petitioner, but it was claimed by them that this
former gun is no more destructive of game than the
double barrel automatic ejector shot gun.

While the testimony of these witnesses was of such a
nature as to appeal strongly to the legislative body, it
satisfied me that there may be a reasonable difference of
opinion upon the question, and, as before stated, courts
will not, in such cases, look too closely into mere mat-
ters of judgment.

The provision in question was undoubtedly enacted
for the purpose of preserving game for future use, and
tbe Court cannot say that it does not " tend in some
plain and appreciable manner towards the accomplish-
ment of tbe object " sought.

The provision in no way conflicts with the provision
of the Penal Coie prohibiting the use of a Bhot gun of a
larger caliber than a ten-gauge, and is in conflict with
no general law that has been called to my attention.

The provision of the ordinance being valid, the peti-
tioner must be remanded, and an order will be entered
accordingly.

CARTRIDGE AND SHBLL.

The board of supervisors of Yolo county have shortened
tbe quail season. A Dew ordinance taking effect on January
25th prohibits tbe killing of quail except during the months
of November and December of each year. The open season
for doves is now from September 1st to January 31st. The
quail season is shortened three months and tha dove season
is curtailed eight weeks. Local sportsmen have expressed a
strong disapproval of the shortening of the dove eeasoo,
alleging that dove shooting is over in their district by
October 1st.

We think the measure is a wise one and before con
templated action is taken for a revocation x>f the recently
adopted ordinance, it would be a wise move to test its
efficacy tor a season or two.

James McDonald, of Napa, a yonng man well known to
local sportsmen, met with a fatal accident while out duck
shooting near the railroad bridge over Napa creek early
this week. The unfortunate hunter was Superintendent of
the Napa Woolen Mills and a man of many sterling
qualities.

A party of sportsmen composed of W. J. Golcber, C. A.
Haight, W. J. McLain, Hyp Justins, J. Maynard Jr. and
Tom Macauie? spent laBt Sunday on the Willow Lodge Club
preserve in Alameda. Ducks were not numerous only a small
bag falling to the gnns. The club members spent a portion
of tbe day in putting away their traps and getting ready for
the close season.

An illustration of the effects of shot gun work at close range
was demonstrated by Jim Mavcard, who used up his extra
ammunition en a tree 12 inches in diameter, commencing
first at the top, he shot eff twig after twig, then the smaller
branches followed by the larger ones until nothing remained
but the denuded stem of the tree. He then commenced
shooting at the trunk, directing his shots at a spot a short
distance from the ground Btandirg away bnt a few feet. In
a very short time he bad the npper portion of the trunk on
tbe ground, he then finished his task by shooting off the
rough edges of the stump leaving an almost level top on the
stump of what had' been a willow tree a foot thick. He used
up 167 Bhells loaded with Da Pont powder and No. 6 chilled
Bhot.

A good story is told concerning the adventures of a local
sportsman who tabes a duck hunting trip once in a while.
On this particular Saturday, he dallied by tbe wayside many
times and often and finally found himself on a street car
bound for tbe Western Addition instead of being well on his
way to the Suisnn duck grounds where canvasback abound.
A companion, who expressed the firm determination of see-
ing home, was with him. Matters progressed smoothly on
the car until *BilIy Mnrphy," the hunter, appointed him-
self an irrigation committee in executive session. This
brought on an altercation with the conductor and gripman and
eventually the assistance of an inquisitive policeman who con-
cluded to give Mr. Murphy a free ride- His companion
disappeared about this time. In the morning Murphy was
penitent and kept messenger boys on the jamp until a friend
appeared to bail him out. As he was in durance vile under
an assumed name and in solitary confinement it was some
time before his predicament was discovered. During the
early morning bourn he waB entertained by a Chinaman in
an opposite bos stall who persisted in singing "My Gal is a
High Born Lady " Mr. Murphy later on stilled the singer
by bombarding him with several handfullejof mush and a tin-
fnl of coffee which was given him for his breakfast. He
says when he goes shooting again he will take the air-line
route and not stop off at way stations.

A puzzling matter was the sulject of much discussion one
day recently whilst Harvey McMurchy, Phil B. Bekeart,
Doctor Short and George Eckhardt, were enjoying a comfort-
able dinner together. "How holes were placed in Swiss
cheese" was argued back and forth at considerable length
without the company being able to fix upon any satisfactory
conclusion. It was fl ally determined to submit the case to
a referee and Mr. C. H. Mowry, of the Sporting Goods
Gazette, was selected to settle the matter. It will appear
from the following, received by Mr. Bekeart, that immediate
attention has been paid to the question and the answer, if
not serious, is certainly unique:

"Your inqoiry iu re *holeB in 8wiss cheese' was referred to
our religious editor, who in turn refers it to the Committee
on Halters. They report that there are really no holes in
tbe cheeses until they are cut. This is caused by a spheroid
vacuum. These spheres are m am factored abroad by a secret
process and bad always been imported until the method of
making them wbb learned by a certain drummer for a gun
fr ctory. They are bubble shaped and made of 'strong lie.'
A fine tube is dipped into the 'lie' and then inserted into the
cheese whilst it is in a plastic condition, the bubble is blown
and the tube then slowly withdrawn, the soft cheese closing
up the orifice. The drummer aforesaid has a monoply in
this neck of the cheese belt (Syracuse, N. Y.) in fact is
known as the 'chief blower.' You can always tell a cheese
of his blowing owing to the similarity of the odor of the
chee -e and his breath. Only a Btrong breath will do, hence
his succesB."

That hunting in California affords more excitement than
an occasional spill from a dnck-boat or tbe falling into gullies
whilst in pursuit of quail or doves is shown by the recent
exploit of a ShaBta county lad. The twelve year old son of
T. J. Loft us of Castella it seems is the possessor of a 22-
caliber rifle and also a small dog. Beiog of an adventnrons
nature the yonth frequently betook himself to the wooded
mountains near bis home in quest of game. On one of his
excursions recently the antics and barking of his dog led to
the discovery of a black bear sitting against a tree within a
short distance of the young Nimrod — What brnin's age,
sex or previous condition of hibernation was, or whether the
'bar' had that tired feeling or wss strong and robust the
historian does not state, but at all events the story is that:
"The boy fired, hitting the brute. The latter started run-
ning down the mountain, the boy following and firing. After
half a mile of this the bear dropped dead. The boy took
his father to the spot. Eleven bullets had struck the bear
and one had passed through his heart. The boy has become
the hero of Castella and takes great pride in exhibiting his
trophy of bearskin "

This bear was unusually slow in covering distance and
making time down the mountain eide, he might have been
laboring under an attack of appendicitis or possibly he
was resting upon his return from tbe enjoyments of a pink
tea at Bog Bowman Bear Firm. The creation of which
latter Utopian resort of the Ursus family "about sixty miles
weBt of Ukiah, in the highest, wildest depths (I) of the Coast
Range mountains" is due to Helen Grey (in a Chicago daily)
after she blew into the cabin of the Bowmans and discovered
that "they run what is probablv the queerest farm in all the
world, for they raise bears for the market."

The Game Law.

Tbe synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and

various changes lu toe county game and fish laws, particu-
larly those of recent date aod of application in and around
the bay counties.

This Bynopsis has been frequently copied (in more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
cournals and has sIbo been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be made to current numbers of the Brreder and Sports
man for the latest and most complete data concerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open Beason for shooting quail, doves, deer and wild duck as
fixed by the State law is as follows: Doves, 15th July to 15th Febru-
ary. Mountain quail and grouse, lat September to 15th February.
Valley quail, wild duct and rail. 1st October to let March. Male deer,

tion of nests or having pheasant eggs in possession is a misdemeanor
in the following counties: Butte. Trinity, Marin, Lake, Merced-
Riverside, Lob Angeles, San Bernardino. Santa Barbara, Kings, Ven,
tura, Santa Clara, Monterey, San Joaquin, Yuba.

The clerks of nearly all the BoardB of Supervisors have advised us
no changes bave been made this year, but the ordinances passed
last year hold good if they do not conflict with the State law. The
following counties nave not passed any ordinances that alter
the open season as provided by State law : Ajnador, Butte, Inyo,
Modoc, Mono, Mendocino, Mariposa, Nevada, Napa, Plumas,

The Fly-OaBters.

The San Francisco Fly-Casting Club on Tuesday evening
held its annual meeting and election of officers. Reports
submitted and read show that the roll of club membership,
one hundred, is filled and that a number of applications are
on file on the watting list. The club treasury is plethoric.
A synopsis of the plan of contests for 1900 was submitted by
the executive committee and adopted. Twelve contests are
provided for, the first series of seven contests will be for
classification; the Eecond series of five conteetB will be class
competition. The first meeting for the Beason will take
place at Stow lake, on Saturday, February 17, at 2:20 P. M.,
Saturday and Sunday meetings following thereafter as ap.
pears in the schedule below, the final contest taking place on
Sunday morning, September 30tb.

Three medals are offered in distance, championship, first
and second classes, two medals in accuracy, one champion
ship and one first cUsf; also two in delicacy, one champion
ship and one first class and one championship medal in lure
casting. A present medal bolder will bave to win three
limes before be may finally retain the trophy. Those who
have never won a medal before will have to win only once to
retain the trophy. The former club rules governing events
were adopted, wilh seme slight cbarjgeB in the distance con-
tests, no time allowance being now given for replacing a lost
fly. The champion class in distance was raised to 102£ feet
average; accuracy championship clasB to 90 per cent.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year
PreBident, Walter D Mansfield; Vice-President, F. H. Reed;
Secretary, Horace Smyth; Treasurer, Herman F. Muller
Executive Committee, Colonel George C. Ewwards, John P.
Babcock, C. G. Youog, J. S. Turner, Ed*ard Everett; cap-
tains, A E Lovett and T. W. Brotherton.

Planked Shad.

This famous lid bit of Eastern gourmets is prepared in the
following manner, the recipe being vouched for by a local
angler well known for bis prowess with rod and line and
who is likewise a most valiant knight of the trencher. Planks
or boards of hard wood, oak or hickory, from one to two
inches thick, and about the siza of a large platter, suitable
for this method of cooking fish, may be found at all first-class
kitchen furnishing Btores. Although originally intended for
use before the open fire in camp life or other out-door occas-
ions, the plank may be used in the coal range oven or under
the flime of a gas broiler. Possibly some of the zest and
flavor usually ascribed to the plank came from the environ-
ment, the exercise and outdoor life usual at occasions where
this dish gained popularity. It does not take much stretch-
ing of the imagination on the part of those who have never
eaten fish prepared in the primitive way to make the oven-
heated plank product really taste better than that cooked io
a plain broiler. The hard white oak is supposed by epicures
to give the finest fl ivor to the 6 -h. If to be uned before an
open fire the plank may be thicker. Sometimes bo es are
borel in the plank about where the outline of the fi h would
be, aod filled with shirp-poiuled woodan pegs for keeping
the fiih in place. But large-headed tack* are even better, for
they c in be inserted wherever desired. 8ome boards have
rings screwed io a', the eo s, through which steel rods are
placed, thuB holding the fish do*n fl it. Others have steel
bars that slip over the ends Let the board become very hot
turning it tound and over, bo all parts will be uniformly
heated.

Scrape off the scales, split the fish down the back, and, if
you prefer, remove the backbone. This will make the two
paria of uniform thickness. Lay it skin side next the plank
and fasten it in place. 8prinkle with salt and pepper and
spread with softened butter. If it is to be cooked before an
open fire, place a drippsng pan under the lower end of the
plank to catch the dripping, and stand the plank aslant
close to the blazing coats Turn it frequently so each end
may get the quick heat. Baste frequently with two table-
spoons butter, melted in one of hot water and one of vinegar.

If to be cooked in a range, set the plank in a large drip*

ping pan and bake in a hot oven about twenty-five minutes
for a three-pound shad, bastiog it frequently, or cook it under
the gas flame until brown and the flesh is white, firm and
flaky. Place the plank on a large platter, remove the tacks,
and serve it from the plank, hiding the edges with a garnish
of parsley or watercress, or a frill of fluted paper or folded
napkin. Lay a border of alternate pieces of lemon and
cucumber pickle, cut fan shape, on the edge. Mix two
tablespoons of melted butter with two tablespoons wslnut
catsup, gash the fish slightly about where it would be divided
in carving, and pour the butler mixture over it. The sauce
and garniehirjgs should be ready so there need be no delay,
for the fish should be served very hot.

The theory advanced that striped bass are responsible for
the scarcity of steelhead this year is hardly a probable solu-
tion of the qaestion. Fish are to a certain extent erratic in
their movements. Some people expect them to make their
appearance at a given lime and locality every season with
unerring regularity, The disappearance of fish from certain
localities for a season or two or for even greater lengths of
time is not unusual. Their subsequent appearance, and at
times in greater numbers than ever is a matter of study and
conjecture that has not yet been settled by the savants aud
scientific men. Aoglers and ordinary observers have ad-
vanced many plausible theories it is true, bat the fish come
and they go juBt the same. The fact that nearly all our
coast streams this season have been very high and full even
to thei' remotest tributaries, thus allowing fish an unimpeded
run to the spawning grounds accounts possibly for the few
beirg caught. That the run of spawning fi«h this year has
been less than usual is undisputed. The fellows who haven't
shown up are doabtless somewhere in old ocean's bosom en-
joying themselves where the feed is plentiful and good and
where io their eyrations through the weedy labyrinths of
the sea bottom they are not frightened out of their scales by
visions of John Butler's "lilocks,"' nor will possibly be-
lieve that in looking up from the waters of the Paper Mill
that Champion Gallagher's mealy rubicund nose is the
early morning sun rising from behind the Mario hills.

We would suggeBt to a weekly contemporary that when
accepting correspondence for publication, it might be in ihe
province ef editorial supervision, that paragraph matter
appearing in the Breeder and Sportsman three weeks
previously and only of importance as angling data for ihe
time being was hardly worthy of a caption and the presenta-
tion of information for the fisherman after the opportunity
had passed away.

*

Steelhead are now reported to be running quile plentiful,
both large and small fish, in the Paper Mill. A number of
t.he veterans propose journeying to Point Reyes to day and
to morrow. Toma'es bay fishermen are said to be netting
the fish at the mouth of the creek, as this is the close season
it surely comes within the province of the county and
Stale authorities to look into the matter.

The shores of Stow lake promise soon to be the resort on
Sunday mornings of many anglers who will practice casting.
Among the new comers will be members of the Striped Bass
Club who will indulge in heavy bait casting work, in prep-
aration for the striped bass season.

The run of tomcod this season has been a remarkably large
one. Salt water anglers who fish along the shore from
Sausalito to Lime Point have caught large quantities of them
recently as well as sea trout and capazoni.

A few steelhead have been caught this week in the Throck-
morton lagoon, the largest eight inches in length.

The San Franolsoo Bench Show.

Doggy circles are now actively taking on their annual
attitude of intense interest and attention to the prelim-
inar es for a successful May show.

The San Francieco Keonel Club has started the ball roll-
ing. There wbb a large and enthusiastic meeting of the
members two weeks ago, the occasion being the annual elec-
tion of officers. Among those present were: Adolph B-
Spreckels, the president; John E. de Ruvter and Henry J.
Crocker, vice-presidents; N. H. Hickman, H. H. Carlton
J. P. Norman, W. 8. Kittle, James L. Flood, who ^a;

elected to membership on the occasion; Leon S. Greenebaum,
Joseph L. Eppinger, Dr. F. W. Skaife, Dr. K. 0. Steers,
F. P. Butler, M. M. Tompkins, W. 0. Brown and many
others.
The board of directors elected were: John E. de Ruyter,

A. B. 8preckels, J. P. Norman, J, L. Eppinger and L. S.
Greenebaam.

A bench show committee composed of N. H. Hickman,
chairman; John E. de Bnyter, J. P. Norman, W. S. Kittle,
W. C. Brown and Leon S. Greenebaum were appointed.

The dates claimed for the fourth annual bench of the clnb
in this city are May 2, 3, 4 and 5.

After the meeting of the club the directors met and elected
officers for the ensuing year, as follows: President, Adolph

B. Spreckels; First Vice President, John E de Ruyter;
Second Vice-President, Joseph L. Eppinger; Secretary-
Treasurer, Henry H. CarltOD; Acting Secretary and Acting
Treasurer, J. P. Norman.

The bench show committee held a meeting on Tuesday
evening during which a large amouat of preliminary details
were arranged. The personnel of the committee is a strong
one and will be without doubt a telling influence in the con*
duction of a first class bench show.

The dates set this year are a little earlier than U3ual, but
the change is one that meets the views of a majority of
fanciers.

The judge or judges have not yet been selected, the com-
mittee being determined to make a choice that will receive
the almost unanimous approval of intending exhibitors — it
would matter bat little who was selected to preside over the
ring of a dog show there will always be found a few who de-
sire the oth er fellow.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Bull Terrier Club will hold a meeting next week.

Entries for the New York show closed on last Monday.

Mr. Bliss, of Oakland, has sent his English setter bitch
Victoria Belle to Verona Kennels to be bred to Ch. Count
Gladstone IV.

Among the recently elected members of the San Francisco
Kennel Club is J. P. Atkins of Alameda, the well-known
cocker spaniel breeder.

Geo. Richards was in quarantine at Press Point, Miss.,
where small pox was prevalent, just Ion/ enough to miss
making an appearance at the United States Field Trials with
Senator P.

Pine Hills Cocker Kennels sold another black cocker
spaniel bitch puppy by Tatoo — Queen Silk this week. The
litter was a very promising one and the youngsters were dis-
posed of rapidly.

The protest of William N. McCarthy against the win of
Stockdale Kennels1 Sam's Bow over his pointer Farand at
the last bench show in this city was finally disposed of at the
recent meeting of the Pacific Coast Special Committee of the
A. K. C-, the committee deciding that sufficient reason for a
reversal of award was not shown and the appeal was theiefore
denied.

The collie interests are quite active in Sacramento at
present. They propose to make a good bench showing this
year. Mr. James Arnot is the owner of two handsome
collies, Verona Paleface (Ch Old Hall Admiral — Verona
Braewood, first in novice dogs, and Verona Rover (Chance
IV — Verona Braw LasB) first in puppy dogs, at the Oakland
Show, 1899.

The last litter of Queen N.'s puppies, the well known
pointer bitch owned by George Neale of Sacrameuto, seems
to be io great demand among the sportsmen of the capilol
city. George Upson of Kimball and Upson, recently pur-
chased (he dog puppy Upton, from this whelping. The Bire is
Alec Truman's Uoton of Blithe. Mr. Neale proposes to
look after the training of the youngsters to a record stand-
point.

Coursing was temporarily knocked out in Los Angeles
when a Justice of the Peace allowed the claim of the Humane
Society that it was an unneccesarily cruel sport. The Los
Angeles coursing men would have appealed the case to the
higher courts. This was a move that our local coursing
parks did not care to have carried out, it is claimed, as many
of the peop'e interested in the management of one of the
parks here felt that the question was a ticklish one, as the
Supreme Courts of several other States, among them Minne-
sota and Iowa we believe, had declared the sport as coming
under the ban of the statutes pertaining to cruelly to ani-
mals. Had the California Supreme Court, upon appeal, up-
held the decision in the lower court it is easily to be seen
that the game here would have had a very precarious stand
ing.

The reason why no appeal was taken in the case referred
to, it ie said, is due to the opportune appearance in the City
of Angels of Colonel Mnzuma who immediately proceeded to
distribute s generous quantity of soap and grease in spots
where it would do the most good.

That the bull terrier is not erroneously credited with a
strong character for fidelity and gamenees is shown by the
following incident which took place io New York recently :
John Scburlein, the janitor of a house, and Patrick Murphy,
who boarded with one of the tenants, were arrested one night
fo fighting. When the policeman started to the station
house with the men, 8churlein'6 bull terrier Whitey made
ii iter them and began biting the heels and legs of the officer.

be latter had all he could do to drive the dog off, and when
e reached the fetation Whitey entered, too, and sat up at

e desk. When Schurlein was placed in a cell the dog

followed to the front of the cell door and refused to move.
The doorman bad so much trouble in passing the dog that
he finally allowed him to enter the cell, where he slept with
his master all night.

When the prisoners were taken to court in the morning
Whitey ran after the patrol wagon, refusing to be distanced,
and went with the prisoner to the pen. He walked into the
courtroom witn his master and Btood by the rail while Scbur-
lein was baing tried by the Magistrate. The Magistrate
ordered the dog to be placed in confinement, and he was
dragged to a cell, where his pitiful howls could be heard
throughout the building. Magistrate Pool fined Schurlein
$5, and discharged Murphy. Schurlein could not pay his
fine, and he and his dog went to serve the consequent term
of his impriBoment together.

Notes on Weight and Size of Large Doss.

The weights and dimensions of big dogs are, from some
cause or other, subject to great exaggeration, almost as much
bo as is the case with the captures of certain anglers who
desire to obtain the credit of exceeding what has been accom-
plished by some fellow disciple of the gentle craft, says the
English Field. It is not easy to understand why the dog
should be made the victim of such methods, for, not being
such a perishable commodity as the fisher's prize, the oppor
tunity is always there to arrive at the truth of the statement,
"A dog as big as a donkey" is quite a usual term to use
when an owner or admirer of some St. Bernard or Great
Dane is expatiating upon the merits of his favorite, and
travelers have repeatedly told us in similar words of gigantic
dogs they have seen during their peregrinations in foreign
countries. We need scarcely point out here that no dog
has yet been produced which is as big as an ordinary sized
ass, whose measurement at the shoulders would be from ten
to twelve hands, which means from 40 in. to 43 in. So fat*
as is known, the dog has not yet been born which stands
even 36 in. at the shoulders, and many animals whose own-
ers have claimed for them a height of a yard, have, when pat
through careful measurement, been proved to be nearly half
a foot below the standard which has been made for them.
This was 'especially marked at the first show held by the
Great Dane Club in 1885 in the grounds of the Ranelagh
Club, near London. Sundry great dogs exhibited here,
which bore the reputation of being a yard or more in height
under fair measurement dwindled away terribly, even to les>
than 30 in , while the biggest canines in the lot were Mr
Reginald Herbert's Leal and Mr. M. Riego'e Cid Campea.
dor, which were 33^ in. and 33 J in. in height at the shoulders
respectively. Since that time we have seen a bigger Great
Dane than either, and possibly the heaviest, too, of his race
which has appeared in this country. This was a dog belong-
ing to Mr. Woodruffs Hill, called Morro, his height, care-
fully measured, being 34in,, and he weighed 190 lbs.

The Great Dane must not, however, be taken as the tallest
and heaviest variety of the canine race, an honor which un
doubtedly rests with the dog of St. Bernard. Some writers
in the olden days, about the Irish wolfhound have claimed
for him extraordinary height, bat hitherto they have failed
to produce proof of their statements, and it is extremely
probable that the Irish wolfhound of to-day is a bigger and
even more powerful dog than the historical creature usually
coupled with Ireland when she had a King of her own to
rule her. There are, we believe, at the present time three or
four IriBh wolfhounds which in height exceed by a trifle the
measurements given in connection with Great Danes. Mr
Angelo's Goth II. stood 34 in. at the shoulders; Mr. Trainer's
Thuggun Thu was of equal height, and we fancy that Mrs.
William's handsome couple of hounds, Dermot Asthore and
Wargrave, are within a trifla approach that figure, while Mr.
G. E. Crisp's O'Leary, benched at the latest Kennel Club's
show, want close up to 34} in. at the shoulders. Perhaps the
finest, if not actually ihe tallest, Irish wolfhound Been during
the present generation, appeared at Islington in lf88, Col,
Garnier's Merlin, which, though not folly funished, weighed
150 lbs. and stood 34 in. at the shoulders. The chances are
he would have grown had he lived, but, like so many other
good young dogs, he fell a victim to disease developed at the
exhibition in question. Owing to his somewhat graceful
and slim build, the Irish hound is not a heavy dog, seldom
exceeding the weight of Merlin.

The bloodhound and the Newfoundland are sometimes
placed under the category of big dog", but both fall short in
height and weight when placed alongside other equally popu-
lar varieties. Then we have repeatedly been told stories of
the great size of the mastitis of Thibet, the height and weight
of which were, it was said, only exceeded by their ferocity.
Any specimens occasionally imported lo this country did not
reach even a hundred pounds in weight, and tnvelers who
have seen them in their native country have told us that the
biggest specimens are inferior in size to our Newfoundlands.
The Borzois or Russian wolfhounds are, as a rule, pretty tall
the largest of them coming up to about 30 io. at the shoulder
but in weight they are far behind many other varieties, abuut
7 stones of 14 lbs each being the extreme the best hound8
reach, and the Scottish deerhounds are some few pound
lighter and smaller generally.

There is a cross bred continental dog known as the Leon-
berg, which bears a reputation for bigness, but any specimens
seen in this country are almost diminutive when placed
alongside cur biggest St. Bernards. Some of the Pyrenean
BO*called "sheepdogs," so far as size is concerned, compare
favorably with our largest dogs, and a few years ago, in 1891

the well known London dealer Wilson brought a splendid
specimen of what he called the Afghan sheepdog for us to
see. It Btood hard on to 35 in. at the shoulders, and looked
what it actually was, pretty well the tallest dog we ever saw,
but it wa« by no means the heaviest; it was taken down to
Marlborough House for the Prince of Wales delectation and
H. R. H. admired the huge dog very much. Later it was
sold to one of the Rothschilds, but, becoming savage with
increasing years, was removed to the Paris Zoological Society's
gardens, where'it died. Oar English mastiffs take but a sec*
ondary place with regard to height, but their massive bodies
and big bone enable them to come out better, so far as weight
is concerned, and dogs up to 150 lbs., and even 170 lbs., are
not unknown, although we imagine that of late years thi8
variety has, by inter-breeding and other causes, somewhat
deteriorated in size, as it has certainly done in general ex-
cellence. The biggest dog we ever saw in "print" was the
reproduction of a mastiff bo manipulated and arranged by
the photographer as to appear almost as tall as its owner, at
any rate as high at the shoulders as a "15 hand horse." The
odd part of the thing was that when the illustration appeared
in an American journal it was taken seriously by the public,
who actually believed 6uch a dog did exist.

Although when the St. Bernard was first introduced to
this country the best specimens were not of abnormal dimen-
sions, they were large dogs, though the best of them were
certainly not mere than from 140 lbs. to 150 lbs. in weight.
The famous Barry, of the hospice, who, by reason of his
saving the lives of so many travelers lost in the snow, made
the breed famous, did not weigh more than 130 lbs. • and
Albert Smith's pair of dogs, which he brought from Switzer-
land about 1850 to assist him in his popular entertainments
seemed to be little, if any, heavier. However, by a special
process, which is worked out by selection of the fittest, and
by extra care in rearing and feeding, the St. Bernard has
waxed and increased greatly in size, until he stands well

out from all other varieties as the giant of the canine race

i. e., taking height and weight into consideration, for there
are and have been taller dogs than he. As the Goliath of
dogs, in 1884 the Rev. A. Carter introduced Plinlimmon,
who towered high above any of his Btrain, and, notwith-
stanndiug his bigneBB, it was all that Beemed abnormal about
him, for he was as smart and elegantly moulded a dog as
man need deBire. Fairly and carefully measured, he stood
33£ in. high at the shoulders, and weighed id his natural
and not too obese state 210 lbB. This fine specimen of the
St. Bernard was eventually purchased for about £800 by the
late Mr. J. K. Emmett, a well known American actor, and
in whose possession the great dog died. But a bigger St.
Bernard than Plinlimmon was introduced three years later,
this being Mr. T. H. Green's Sir Bedivere, who, besides
being his equal in height, exceeded him by 2 lbs. or 3
lbs. in weight. Moreover, Mr. Green's dog, excepting
in amiability and good nature, which were not of the
best, beat Plinlimmon on all points, and, Btrange to say,
notwithstanding his Bizs, he was probably the most perfect
all round St. Bernard ever exhibited. There have been,
and still are, dogs with more perfect heads— Mesers.
Inman and Walmsley's The King's 8on to wit— but he and
all others lose to Sir Bedivere in most of the essentials
which assist in the formation of perfection, or as near that
desirable goal as can be ipproached. The Americans, who
were buying up all the beBt dogs about twelve years ago,
were not long in securing 8ir Bedivere, for which Mr. E. B.
Sears, of Melrose, had to pay £1300. iboot the same time
there were other big St. Bernards being shown, but though
one or two of them approached in size the two dogs already
named, in excellence they were far behind. Lord Bute was
even half an inch higher at the shoulders than Sire Bedivere;
when with us he weighed but 200 lbs., though after he had
sojourned a few weeks in America he was said to scale 220
Ids —a statement which, to say the least, was of doubtful
truth. Later there did come a heavier dog, or rather two
heavier dogs, than either Plinlimmon or Sir Bedivere, and
in 1897 Mr. Sant's Lord Brassey scaled the immense weight
of 234 lbs., while Mr. Ralph's Luke of Firmont, who
flourished about the same period, was but some half dozen
pounds less. It is not often the females of the larger varie-
ties of the dog approach the males io size, but a notable ex-
ception is the case of the celebrated Princess Florence, who
weighed 212 lbs., and she obtained her enormous size by her
height, length of back, and great frame generally. The late
Mr. H. J. Betterton's smooth dog, Watch, was a little 07er
200 lbs. in weight, but he did not look nearly so big, and we
imagine that the biggest dog of the present day is Messrs. In-
man and Walmsley's ^smooth dog Parsival, who must scale
well over the 200-lb. He is of great height, too, and pos-
sesses enormous bone and unusual depth of ribs.

THE FARM.

TO BEGINNERS.

A Practical TalK to Those About to
Embark in the Poultry Business.

I wish to write something that may be to
the advantage of some beg'uner. A young
man of my acquaintance concluded he would
embark in the poultry business and grow rich
from the tirBt season's experience, and he did
— rich in experience. He purchased a 200
egg incubator, built a brooder house 10 by 30
feet, purchased a four section hot water
brooder and was prepared to raise chickens
by the hundred, but instead of the success he
had anticipated he now has a "plant" for sale
at any old price. We advised him against go-
ing to so much expense until he had had some
experience, but our advice went for naught.
He bought standard bred White Wyandotte
epes, started his incubator.and at the end of 21
days he didn't hatch a single chicken. Every
member of the family took turns at the
machine, and the result was that the ther-
mometer ranged from 80 to 110 degrees and
the eggs were cooked. The next batch that
he had set turned out less than a dozen little
rants that soon pegged out. The third lot of
eggs he purchased he put under hens and had
yery good luck with them, only they were
rather late.

This is one of the many cases that discour-
age beginners. If the young man had listened
to the a -vice of one who had been through
the mill and had purchased two or three sitt-
ings of eggs and hatched them under hens, he
undoubtedly would have secured enough good
birds to have given him a start, and from
these eonld have experimented without so
great expense. We do not believe it is right
for poultry people to encourage the amateur
to start on a big scale, as nine times oat of
ten the persons baying will get disgusted and
bitter against all ponltry-men for taking up
standard bred poultry and condemn them as
not being honeBt in what they say.

When some people write an article and say
they had a 95 per cent hatch or a 65 pBr cent
hatch, the amateur takeB it for granted that it
is 65 per cent or 95 per cent of all the eggs
put in the incubator, and he sits down to
Bgure oat how mach he could make out of the
business the first Beason, and in his mind
would soon be as wealthy as one would care
to be. The troth of the matter is they will
do well if they raise to maturity 40 chicks oat
of 100 eggs set. It is better in the long ran
for all persons- concerned if the darker side of
poultry raising were put to the front occas-
ionally and the ups and downs that one has to
contend with were expatiated on. Then if
the amateur goes above the 40 mark he will
be well satisfied, whereas if be goes below the
65 mark he will be dissatisfied and say it iB
the fault of the egga and that he has been
robbed or given eggs that the sender knew
were not good.

The amateur must learn to walk before he
can ran, and my advise to him is: Try a
Bitting or two, or purchase a trio, and then if
yoa have bad luck you will not be oat so
much money. If the amatear were not too
ambitions and would start with a few chick-
ens and give them every attention, he would
be better satisfied in the long run, and his
chickens would make better birds than if he
had an immense flock and only gave them
half attention. Take one dozen chicks just
batched, give them good attention and feed
them all they will eat from the shell until
show time, and they will be worth more thao
100 poorly raised birds. — CharleB L. Blanton.

largest containing 30 acres. This is being
stocked with Belgium hares, and the com-
pany owning it has an agent buying them
by thousands in France and Belgium. When
fully stocked it will keep about 82,000 bares,
and they should market 1,000,000 hares each
year. These sell when dressed at about the
price of poultry, and the skins are worth from
10 to 25 cents each. Many also can be sold
as pets or for breeding purposes.

A number of farms have beea devoted to
raising Angora cats, most of them in the
vicinity of New Harmony, and a cat broker
in Evansville has pat 3000 of them on the
market during the past three years since the
business started there. Farmers get fancy
prices for good males snd think that is better
than dollar wheat. A good market is found
for many of them in the stores in Philadelphia
Pa.

Thers is one farm where the main business
is the growing of leeches. The stock was im-
ported from Germany, and they are grown in
moss-lined vats. Wnile the demand is not
as good as a few years ago, tbe owner sells
several hundred thousand each year. There
are several goldfish farms in Shelby county,
one of them the largest in the world, shipping
away mure than 2,000,000 fish last year, some
of which weut to the fountains of royal gar-
dens in Europe.

On three or four farms ginseng is the main
crop, and one farmer in Jackson county is
putting in 160 acres of it. It requires 40,000
seeds to plant an acre, and they are worth $85
After planting they require seven years to
grow, and then the roots weigh from one-half
ounce to three ounces each. They are cured
and shipped to China, where they sell at from
$3 to $20 per onnce, according to the qual-
ity and texture, bo that he expects to be paid
for the expensive planting and cultivation and
long waiting for the crop to grow.

Another crop which requires even longer
waiting is the hickory nut or shellbark, of
which many farmers are now setting but large
orchards. This nut, which used to grow wild
and sell for 50 c a bushel, now is in good
demand at about $3, and if the trees which
were cat down in the early days of the State
were now standing tbey would yield the most
profitable crop of the farm.

Several farms make a specialty of raising
frogs by the thousands, as they are worth
from 50 to 90 cents a dozen. There is a large
profit in them, but it requires much care to
protect them from their many enemies, which
include crows, hawks, herons and many prowl-
ing small beasts.
Some farmers raise watermelons and pro-

Oare of Dairy Utensils.

Never neglect the care of the churn. Slight
aegliceDce in this direction may cost the
price of many a pound of butler.

After a churn has been some time out of
use it should be thoroughly scoured with salt
and repeatedly scalded before being again
employed.

Nothing will penetrate the crevices of a
churn like hot water, and it needs to be at a
boiling temperature when applied.

There is nothing gained in patching up old
utensils about a home dairy or manufactory
Like farming tools, the apparatus of a cream,
ery or cheese factory generally deteriorates
more quickly in value from neglect than from
practical use in its especial sphere.

The greatest care should be taken to ex-
punge every atom of salt or briny water from
the iron work of dairy utenBile.

Rigid drying by both an absorbent cloth
and heat will do this satisfactorily. I have
known a new $25 card mill to be so eroded
by rust in one season as to be nearly ruined.
By proper care it could have been made to
run 10 years without repair.

If it is important to keep batter tools scrap,
ulously clean, how much more important is it
to be rigorous in the treatment of milk
utensils.

In private dairies it would be well to emu-
late the methods in vogue in milk-shipping
stations and creameries.

First, after a rinse of cold water, the canB
and other tinned lac'eal utensils are washed
thoroughly with warm water, changing the
bath frequently to keep it clean.

Now follows the coup de grace, the death-
dealing blow to bacteria and eporee. This is
the scalding proces?.

Where a good steam pressure can be ob-
tained, superheated steam is the best agency
to employ, whirling the cans rapidly while it
is applied to every part of the interior.

On the farm, however, water if used while
boiling will be effective enough to render
utensils asceplic.

Do not ecalk milk receptacles by pouriog
the hot water from one to the other. It cools
too rapidly to be effective on even the second
can so treated.

We should always bear in mind that the
fungi and bacteria inhabiting milk vessels are
of microscopic character, and Beams which
appear clean to the naked eye may in reality
be teaming with millions of these vegetable
organisms.

This subject is as important in winter as in
summer, and the dairyman who does not con-

Shropshire Sheep.

The spread of Shropshire Bheep is among
the most remarkable features of the latter day
live stock trade. lie rapid growth in popu-
larity and widespread dissemination in this
country doe3 not fiod parallel in the history
of the other varieties of stock, says Breeders'
Gazette, and prices manifest a tendency to
mount up for strictly choice specimens. Dor
ing recent public sales held in Britain nine
ramB of this breed sold at $500 and upward,
making an average of $610. A number of
others have brought prices ranging from $250
to $475. Moreover, an examination of tbe
prices at these public sales shows that with
only one exception they have averaged higher
than for several years past.

Tbe foreign demand, increasing in strength
each year, is responsible for this stiffeoiog in
values. Dp to date it is more than double that
of 1898, and last year showed a large increase
over the demand of the year previous. It is
believed from correspondence received by the
officials of tbe Eoglish Shropshire Society
that the call for ShropBhires for export is
likely to reach gigantic proportions in the
near future. Tasmanian breeders are bidding
for rams at around $500 and shipments are
going to that country.

Plainly this popularity is doe to the fact
that the Shropshire is a l farmer's sheep" — that
is, a dual purpose sheep that pays a double
profit in flesh and wool, making a good
growth of very saleable mutton and yielding
a good fleece that suits the present market.
In Australia and Sooth America the results
from the use of rams of this breed have been
very satisfactory in the production of export
lambs, and large demands for breeding stock
are being made on this account. Surely
Shropshire breeders have every reason to feel
flittered over ihe preseot condition of ihei,
trade and its promise for the future.

Cattle Shipments and Losses.

Daring the year 1899 there were 173,404
United 8tates cattle shipped to Liverpool
irom our ports aod 15.670 Canadian cattle.

Tbe number lost at sea was 263 United States
cattle and 440 Canadian cattle from cur pons,
or about 151 in 100:000 for the United States
and 2807 for the same number of Canadian
cattle. From Canadian ports 48,821 cattle
were sent and 512 were lost. South America
sent 26,447 cattle to Liverpool and 1017 were
lost, nearly four per cent. To Glasgow 23,432
cattle were sent acd 197 lost. In Bheep losses
were larger; 85,018 United States sheep went
to'Liverpool from United States ports, and
1435 were lost, 35,239 were Canadian Bheep
sent from Canadian ports, and 1116 were
lost, and 25,718 from United States ports
with a loss of 1481. South America sent to
Liverpool 124 883 sheep and lost 2296 on the
way, while 790 were lost out of 19,352 in
the shipments from Iceland, over 4 per cent
From tbis country 9947 sheep were sect to
Glasgow, with loss of 69; 9376 horses were
sent to Liverpool and all were landed but '26,
while of 579 sent to Glasgow all but six(
reached there. The total loss of cattle frcm
the United States and Canada was less ih*r>
three-eighths of one per cen'. and of sheep
'ess than three per cant., whh heavier looses
uf cattle from Canadian ports than from the
Uoited States ports. Canadian cattle and
sheep did not stand transportation nearly as
well as United Sta'.es cattle and sh ep.

The Guinea fowl is native of the country
bearing their name and also of certain parts
of Africa. Naturalists acd ornithologists
know five species. Only four varieties, how-
ever, have been domesticated and only two o*
those are met with here in the States, these
are Pearl and the White varieties.

SECRETARY, SON OF DIRECTOR.

Pleasanton Piok Ups.

At Lob Angeles Track.

A Stallion Whose Progeny Poesess Speed and
Good Looks.

We call the attention of the horse breeders of California
to the advertisement of Secretary, the great son of Director^
the champion race horse and sire, and a daughter of Gold-
smith's Volunteer. Secretary has great size, beautiful sym-
metry, style, quality and finish. He is the type of horse
individually which we with others have urged horsemen to
breed to. His produce have the size, style and finish which
are so much in demand here and in the East and which are
so hard to secure. He represents the extreme speed lines cf
the Hambletonian, American Star and Mambrino families.
The Dexter-Dictator-Director family, which he represent
in the male line, is one of (he greatest, if not the greatest,
family in tbe tiotting register. Jt gave ue Dexter, a record
smasher, and the champion campaigner of his day: Director*
another king of the grand circuit; Jay Eye £ee, 2:10 trotting
and 2:06} pacing, a world's champion; Phallas 2:13]-, a stallion
king; Direct, 2:05£ to high wheels, the champion pacer and
Bire; Directum 2:05}. the king of stallions; Directly 2:03}
who is still champion of two year olds; Directum Kelly
2:08}, a champion four year old, and Nancy Hanks 2:04, the
great queen— truly "a string of pearls, each one beyond a
king's ransom:"

This is a family, not only of record breaking speed, but
campaigners of extreme endurance and with every other race
quality. Dexter was unbeatable for years. Director swept
the grand circuit from the Mississippi to the Atlantic, finish-
ing a series cf great turf victories by winning the $10,000
Charter Oak Stake at Hartford, beating the best horses of
the time and all contended against him.

Jay Eye See defeated all comers and was the first 2:10
trotter.

Direct won through the grand circuit and decisively de-
feated the theretofore unbeatable Hal Pointer at Nashville
and Columbia, thereby bringing the pacing championship to
the Pacific Coa6t. Nancy Hanks trotted and campaigned
herself out of class and company till there was nothing brj
time to race against. She wore the champion crown for
years and then her record was only beaten a quarter of a
second. Directum was a champion three year old putting
the mark in the third heat of a race at 2:11}. As a four
year old he defeated all aged horses in the free for all cUa8
and in the third heat of a great race placed the stallion
record at 2:05} where it has stood for six years. Directly as
a two year old paced in 2:07£, near.y three seconds faster
than any other two year old has ever paced and he has since
lowered his record to 2:03}. These are the bright jewels in
the trotting and pacing crown and there are none brighter-
Secretary on his dam's side carries the blood of Volunteer,
the sire of St. Julien, a world's champion and the founder
of a great trotting family. Volunteer has 91 producing sons
and daughters to his credit. The Volunteers are noted for
size, beauty, fine legs and in this respect Secretary resemblee
them. Monroe Salisbury, one of the greatest of horsemen
in the world, says: "Secretary, the Eon of Director, was
brought to my track at Pleasanton when he was a two year
old. Within a week from the time he was taken from the
farm I saw Mr. J. W. Knox drive him a quarter in 34
Beconds— a 2:16 gait. He had more natural speed than any
colt I have ever seen. I do not believe there ever was an-
other perfectly green two year old colt which could have
trotted that fast aud with such consummate ease. I have
always thought that if he had been continuously and judi-
ciously handled he would have had all the trotting records
at bis mercy. I believe he tires the highest rate of speed
and pure gaite. I bad one of his get last year which was
phenomenally fast. With opportunities he will be a great
sire." He has been en a farm in a rather remote country
district and not more than four or five of his get have ever
been on a track. All of them have shown extreme speed
and form. P. J. Shatter Esq. of Marin county says: "I
drove one of Secretary's daughters an eighth of a mile in 14£
seconds." Mr. Bellingall of Oakland has repeatedly driven
a son cf Secretary on the Alameda track quarters in 30
second?. Capt. Thomas of the San Francisco Costom House
has a daughter which has paced eighths in 15 seconds.
With opportunities Secretary should be a great race horse
sire. He carries the blood of the greatest broodmares of the
trotting register, such as the ChaB. Kent Mare, dam of Ham-
bletonian 10; old Clara, dam of Dexter and Dictator; Lady
Patriot, dam of Volunteer, and old Dolly, dam of Director
and Onward. The blood of these pre-eminent equine matrnr
ib assurance doubly sure tbat Secretary will breed on.

Trainer Henry Titer Gf tbe Forbes Farm }
California, and rumor sayb he is after a phenonr
to slow stakes. With Bingen 2:06}, Peter t'
and the other good things under hie clr
ride in front quite frequently tbiB year. —

Pleasanton, Feb. 13, 1900.
But little has been doing at the track during the past
couple of weeks, in fact everything has been so quiet that the
expression used by one of the boys, "Not enough doing to
keep tbe hair moist," is a good one.

The little four year old Direct colt belonging to Mr.
Gallegos, of Mission San Jose, that has for some time past
been under the care of J. M. Alviso, has been given to Tom
Keating for training with the understanding that it go East
this season and be raced. A trial workout Saturday proved
the little one a very promising colt as he stepped a quarter in
34£ seconds with ease.

The great three year old Diablo filly belonging to Win,
Murray and C. L. Crellin, that waB the talk of the town here
a few weeks ago when it went a mile in 2:26 and last quarter
in 35 seconds, is now the property of Mr. Crellin, he pur-
chasing Mr. Murray's half interest. Just what will be done
with the filly is not yet definitely settled but Mr. Crellin
may place her in Keating's string for training and send her
East during the racing season.

Anaconda 2:03}, has lost his coat, having undergone the
ordeal of clipping Monday preparatory to this season's work.
Never before has Anaconda looked better.

In conversation with several of those interested in the
Pleasanton Association track, the question was asked con-
cerning the possibility of holding a meeting here this year.
We were informed that there were great piospects ahead and
with a little push and energy upon the p%rt of the Pleasanton
people and horsemen, it was quite certain to be a go. Should
it take place ihiogs at the tra?k would ba a little livelier,
the grand stand would be immediately constructed and the
track widened.

HeDry Titer, the great Eastern driver, arrived here Sun.
day last. '*By Gee ! " he exclaimed, "is this the weather you
fellows enjoy out here in February? book at those trees and
the green grass, and the flowers all in bloom. I can hardly
realize it. When I left home a few days ago, it was so cold
one could not keep warm wrapped in robes and to come out
here and find this climate and weather, say, by Gee, this is
like living. I had often beard about your California cl mate.
but never dreamed it was like this. Let's run a foot race;
this is glorious." This sort of talk was continued the entire
day and so captivated was he with Pleasanton and tbe
climate that he frequently expressed himself as willing to
make this his future home.
Tommy Murphy paid Pleasanton a visit again Sunday.
"Sandy," tbe plunger, who was with the Keating string
last summer, paid Pleasanton a visit again over Sunday.

Geo. Davis is now jogging Rey Direct preparatory to hard
work in about a month's time.

C. L. Crellin is having a fine large oil painliDg made of
Searchlight as a companion picture to the one recently
finished of Anaconda.

There was another little sensation sprung at the track to-
day, when Tom Keating Bent the three year old Diablo colt,
belonging to Mr. Gallegos of Mission San Jose, a mile in
2:33, making the last quarter in 34 seconds This colt is in
Keating's string. The Diablos are making a great showing
this spring.

On Saturday, February 24th, there will be a great exhibi.
tion of stallions and their offsprings at Livermore. The old
time horse parade is again to be held to show what this valley
can produce. This exhibition is not got up for a money
making scheme, as at present it is understood no premiums
will be offered, but simply to get the people again aroused to
the pitch they were some years ago when all seemed to be
endeavoring to outdo each other. Invitations have been
sent throughout the valley to owners and trainers to be pres-
ent and ehow off their horses and it is understood all the
world beaters now at the Pleasanton track will be there to
help lengthen out the parade. Considerable enthusiasm has
been manifested in tbe show and the weather permitting,
will be a great day with the horse loving public.

The three year old filly Rubato, full sister to Agitato 2:09,
worked a full mile this week in 2:30, the last half in 1:11}
and last quarter in 35} seconds. The three year old filly by
£1 Benton, out of Bay Rum, by Steinway, made a mile in
2:35, last half in 1:15. Both '*i«se are in Millard 8anderB

Santa Rosa Notes.

There has been so many borses r
offered for sale duriog the past few
dropped a little, and outclassed '
as gr ;at demand as they were
thei claBB sell readily, bov

Santa Rosa is one of the lively horse towns of the State
this year, and more interest is being taken in horse breeding
than ever. It is estimated that more than fifty etallioDB are
owned within a radius of ten miles of the town and over half
of them are kept for public service. This, of course, in-
cludes all breeds from the little Hungarians owned by Mr.
A. W. Foster of Hopland to the massive Percherons and
Clydes owned by other parties.

The harness horse interest is particularly active and quite
a number of sales have been made during the past two or
three weeks

F. J. Yandel, the well known foundryman, disposed of
bis handsome black Secretary mare Hazel Y. 2:17 the other
day to a gentleman from Montana. $600 was the price paid.

J. Purringtou sold Granville 2:31 to a San Francisco man
recently and got $500 for this promieing gelding by Silas
Skinner 2:17.

Charles Jeffries, the well known trainer, dropped into
town a few days ago and purchased from Mr. Frank Steele a
young gelding by Daly 2:15. This horse was entirely green
having never been trained at all. He brought $200 on his
looks and it will not be surprising if the keen eye of Mr*
Jeffries has discovered a good one.

Dr. Finlaw will breed Mb stallions St. Whips by Whips,
Daly 2:15 by Gen. Benton and Digitalis by Daly out of Cyg-
net by Steinway, to a number of high class mares this year.
Rosedale Stock Farm, as the Doctor's place is called, is
noted for turning out some of the best looking horses ever
bred in California.

The Santa Rosa Stock Farm will resoil their track this
year, it is understood. They have asked for bids for the
work and if a good coating of soil is put on, it wilt be the
fastest track on t e Coast. Now that the trotting bred horse
is in actual demand the Santa Rosa track ought to be one of
the principal training grounds of the State. For climate and
good roads there is no place better than Santa Rosa, and the
hay raised in that vicinity is choice and cheap.

The Board of Directors of the Sonoma and Marin Agri-
cultural District have not yet announced the date of their
fair, but they would like to have the P. C. T. H. B. A. give
the racing part of the program. There are several districts
in the State that would like to have this asssciation attend to
giving the races at their fairs this year.

Thos. Lawaoa's String of Trotters.

Highly Touted.

A Letter From John Phippen.

One year ago Thomas W. Lawson, the Baston millionaire,
would have laughed at any one hintinc that this year he
would own and campaign one of the most sensational staMes
of light harness horses in the country. He never thought
of buying a trotter until Herman Grey, who at present
attends to all his buying and manages the horses, and Mr.
Lawson's private secretrry, bought Glory 2:14* by Sir Walter
Jr., a new comer to the 2:15 list, laBt year on speculation.
Mr. Lawson had a lot of fun joshing them on their venture,
and asked why tbey did not buy more, a question which was
easily answered. Jt took big money to buy good horses, and
they were not so favored by fortune.

"Well, buy anything good you see," remarked the copper
magnate, "and send the bill to me."

He afterward bought Glory and almost immediately begin
to get a stable together, which now numbers twelve, all o
which are sensational performers, or highly bred green ones
which show phenomenal speed. His purchase of the great
three year old Boralma 2:13 by Boreal, winner of the Ken-
tucky Futurity last October, will be well remembered. Be-
sides these, his stable is made up of Mamie W. 2:17$ by
Wildnul, a son of Woodout 2:16*; Jack Roach, a two year
old by Boreal, which is said to show 2:12 speed and which
turned a quarter in 34 ssconds as a yearling; Lurline Chimes,
a five vear old green one by Chimes; Lucio, another fast one,
without a record, by Daxter Prince; Cracksman 2:13i, pacing
and trotting record of 2:19* to wagon; Sagwa, the sensational
green one, which "Doc" Tanner picked up in the wilds of
Missouri, and which Mr. Lawson bought last Novembe at
the Fasig-Tipton Co.'s Bale for $7100. He is by Sagwa, a
son of Onward, out of a daughter of Bodj imin Whirlwind.

Two bang-up youngsters will be added to the string this
week, Herbert Grey having just bought them at Lexington,
and passed throush New York yesterday on his way to Bos-
ton. Both are three year olds, entered in several stakes this
year. One is Frank Kenney by Borea), and the other BaroD
Sidney by Oakland BaroD, out of Dl Vernon 2:22J by Jay
Bird. They are looked upon as coming sensations.

Last but not least in the stable of good ones which will
carry Mr. Lawson's colors on the trotting turf this year are
the green mare Gambrella and Water Maid 2:19$, which
were sold among the tflec s of the late Col. Lawrence Kip
last November. Mr. Lawson is driving them to pole almost
every day, and since he has been introduced to the beauties
of the American trotter he goes in for them as enthusiastic-
ally as he goes in for everything else that strikes his fancy. —

The Great Western Circuit.

The annual meeting of the Great Western Circuit was
held in the Auditorium Hotel, Chicago, February 1st.
Nearly twenty members were present and the schedule of
dates was arranged without trouble. The main plan was to
avoid conflict with the Grand Circuit as much as possible.
The schedule follows: Terra Haute, lad,, July 2 to 7.
Peoria, July 9 to 14, Davenport, Iowa, July 16 to 21; Des
Moines, Iowa, July 23 to 28; Hedrick, Iowa, July 30 to
August 4; Joliet, 111., August 6 to 11; Freeport, 111., August
13 to 18; Dubuque, Iowa, July 20 to 25; Independence, Iowa
August 27 to September 1; Hamiine, Minn , September 3 to
8; Milwaukee, September to 15; Indianapolis and Eransville,
Ind., September 17 to 22; Terre Haute, Ind., and Spring
field, III., September 24 to 29. It wbb decided to have uni_
form purses and classes, and the meetings were arranged in
groups according to the money io be offered at each. Terre
Haute (spring meet), Peoria, Davenport, DtS Moines
Hedrick, Joiliet, Freeport, Independence, AfRwaukee, In-
dianapolis and EranBville were placed in the $15,000 group,
while the Terre Haute meeting, which is also in the Grand
Circuit, is in the $30000 group, with Dubuque, Hamiine and
Springfield in the $50,000 group. It was agreed that entries
for races in this circuit should nut close prior to April 1st
and at some of the meetings not before May 15lb. C. T.
Hancock, Dubuque, who was re-elected president of the cir
cuit at the morniog session, resigned in the afternoon, and
E. W. Randall, Hamiine, Minn., was chosen to lake hie
place. Geo. H. Madden, Mendota, 111., was re elected to the
position of secretary. Mr. Madden is the Superintendent of
Speed at the Illinois State Fair and a member nf the State
Board of Agriculture, while Mr. Randall is the Secretary o
the Minnesota 8tate Agricultural Society. The most of the
members reported prospects better than for some Bea6ons.

The Standard-Bred Horse.

Sam C. Freeman publishes the following about Dreyfus,
the Dexter Prince gelding that Budd Doble sent East last
fall with the rest of the horses he purchased at the Aptos
Stock Farm :

Quietly over on Long Island, down Gravesend way, a
youDg trotter is being jogged this winter by Matt Dwyer
which will bear watching when the bell taps and the horses
score up for a start. He haB no record, but he has shown
speed enough to win in the fastest classes. He is a rugged,
hardy gelding, and ought to be a good thing for the specula-
tive boys. He is the brown gelding Dreyfus, foaled on the
Spreckels establishment at Aptos, Oil., in 1895, by Dexter
Prince, son of Kentucky Prince, dam Miss Valensin by
Valensin.

This youngster is showing splendidly, and will be entered
entensively in the big purses through the Grand Circuit.
One of the old trainers at Aptos, writing to Mr. D*yer con-
cerning the horse says :

"Dreyfus is a corker. I was glad you got him, and I
know vou will have good luck with him. He is the best
thing I ever saw, for he has more natural speed than anv
horse I ever saw, and doesn't want work to trot. I worked
him a little as a three year old and be stepped a quarter in
34 seconds, and did it so quick yon never saw anything like
it. We used to have some corkers at Palo Alto in the old
dayt — both of ub — but never had one like Dreyfus. After he
showed that fast, I turned him out, thinkinsr he would be
sold here iu California and I would get a chance to buy him.
He never bad six months' work in hJB life. He was taken
up pgaiu about three months before be was taken East, and
could step a quarter in 31£ seconds. I stepped him a half
in 1:041-, and fie seemed to be going very easy, and followed
it up with a mile in 2:14J. He doesn't know how to break,
and he is the best gaited one you ever saw. He s a big
feeder and has his speed all the time. He wants shin boots
behind when you work him up to a 2:20 clip, light shoes, no
weights. I think he will trot a mile in 2:06 or better this
year."

This ib a good (ip for the b:ys who know the location of
the betting ring, &s he will be at the races this year.

Speed will always have its value in the harness horse, and
the conformation that permits the development of speed is
one that also generally gives smooth, graceful, frictionleBS
movement. This ia one cause of the preference wdich the
standard-bred wins in the sales yard and show ring. But in
other respects the standard-bred equals the best of other
breeds in the several harness classes. He is now bred to be
fit for any harness use, from that of the trappy roadster to
he high class coach horse. Among the standard-breda are
ound horses excelling any of the other breeds for any use in
harness except for heavy draught purposes, and for the quick
draft uses of a city a cross of the standard-bred on a heavy
mare will bring the animal best suited to the work.

The Chicago Horse Market.

Prices obtained for selected horses are not a true barometer
of the borse market. Where a Tommy Brit too sells for
$20 000 there are thousands that bring prices whieh attract
no attention whatever. The great trouble with many horse
owners is that they imagine their horse is just as good an
animal or perhaps a little better than the other fellow's,
which has just been disposed of at a big figure. To show
our Pacific Coast readers the actual state of the Chicago
horse market we publish the following. It is taken from the
columns of the Chicago Daily Stockman of February 8th,
a paper devoted to the live stock interests and an authority
on the actual state of the market there.

Official receipts yesterday 631; shipments 489. Estimated
receipts to-day 300, against 292 a week ago and 341 a year
ago. Reports from our correspondents in the country all
indicate a scarcity of good Btrong horses and prices high.
Under these conditions it must be expected that values at the
great markets can not depreciate in tbe near future. All
classes of heavy drafters, farm chunks, loggers and export
chucks are Belling better than last week. To-day the market
was steady to strong with a decided willingness on the part of
buyerB to pay strong prices for suitable Btock.

How to Remove Old Shoes from Horses.

Loma Alto Farm, Dallas, Texas, Feb. 9, 1900.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — Thinking perhaps a
little newB from Texas would not be out i f place, thought I
would drop you a line and let you know that I arrived here
safe and found my colls all well twenty four head in number,
and as the weather has been pretty good for the past two
weeks, have been moving them along some. They are al
big and strong, wintering well and moving fine. I stepped
three two year olds along last week, the first Aylwin by
Eiectrite first dam by Simmons to cart a quarter in 40 seconds
very easy. Second Madeline Eiectrite, 8ister to Blondie
2:13* and Electropbel two years, 2:21 J. She is by Eiectrite
first dam Lady May, by Port Leonard, second dam Nancy
Lucas, by Hambletonian TrBnby, a quarter in 42 seconds.
Third, a black colt by Eiectrite, first dam Elodie, by Ken-
tucky Prince, second dam Elise, by Messenger Duroc, next
dam Green Mountain Maid, a quarter in 424 seconds, which
is considered remarkable for this country at this time of the
year. Ima Eiectrite that won second money in the Clark's
Horse Review Stake in her two year old form and fourth
money last year, is doing well this winter and I look for her
to be a good mare this year. Dallas Texas a grand son and
Emrin Eiectrite, by Eiectrite, both pacers four years old are
loosing and working fine and will be heard from this year.
Porto Eico, a colt that J worked a mile last fall io 2:26, last
half in 1:09, 1 expect to be a crackaj ack. In fact all of them
are very good prospects. Eiectrite will make a great sire
but his colts must be properly handled untit they get a little
age and strength as they all have too much early speed and
have not been able to carry it. We also have twenty bead
of yearlings that look as well as anybody's. There will be
some sure race horses among them.

John Nolan 2:08 is on this track wintering fine, is big and
strong and feels like a coll; look out for him this year.
Mr. W. O. Foote, his driver, is eojoyiog good health this
winter and is able to do his own work. You will remember
he was given up to die here last winter.

Mr. F. T. Fowler, of Chicago, has sent four horses here to
work in charge of Ab. Fullinger, formerly of the Keystone
Stock Farm, of Omaha, Neb., and second trainer for Mc-
Henry for five years. He haB Ashbrook 2 : 1 3 A , Miss Maymo
2:09£, pacer, aod two green ones (bat are fine lookers and
speedy. There are several more working here that perhap8
I can tell you more about later on.

Yours very truly,

In some words of advice to apprentices a writer in the
HorseahoerB' Journal tells how to remove old shoes from
horBes, and what he Bays possesses seme interest for every
horse owner:

"Jn horses with sound hoofs all the shoes can be taken off
one after tbe other, but in handling diseased hoofs this should
be avoided. In removing shoes considerable care is required
and violence should never be used. If very dirty the hoofs
can be cleaned with a brush. The floorman feels for the
clench with the point of his finger, places the buffer against
it, and with a smart blow of the hammer cuts it without in-
juring the wall. In order to remove the nails singly the
shoe must be loosened. One can either use pincers with a
wide mouth, passing below and grasping the entire shoe, in
which case the pincers are moved like a lever in the direc-
tion of tbe limb, or the buffer may be driven from behind
between the shoe and the hoof. The former plan is prefer-
able. Once the ehoe is loosened, the nails can be drawn
separately. When the shoe has recently been put on, or
when the horse is troublesome another method is sometimes
employed. Taking tbe foot on his knee, the fioorman cuts
the clenches, and with the pointed end of the buffer drives
down each nail separately, removing it a'terwards in the
usual way. This plan is also advisable if the feet are very
brittle or broken.

Kendall's Spavin Cure.

Oregon Horse News.

[Portland Rural Spirit.J

C. X Larrabee, owner of Brook Nook Stock Farm, a large
horse breeding establishment in Montana, was in Portland
this week just down from his farm. Mr. Larrabee says there
is but little breeding being done in Montana outside of two
or three large farms. Most every one there have been dis-
posing of their horses when opportunity affords and breeding
has not been resumed. Mr. Larrabee raises about 100 colls
every year from standard bred trotting mares crossed on the
best bred stallions he can buy to produce a high type road"
ster. He ia a great stickler for the Morgan horse and per-
ha; b haB more Morgan bred horses on his farm than can be
found on any farm in the world. Mr. Larrabee finds a ready
market for his horses in Vermont, and is prepariLg three
carloads of drivers to be shipped there this spring, none of
which are leBS than five years old.

Meredith 1368, owned by Ed Murphy of Pomeroy, Wash,
died on the night of February 3i, at tbe ripe age of 24 years.

Ella T. 2:081 brought $600 at the Splan-Newgass sale last
week. This is $200 more than she sold for at this sale about
a year ago.

It is thought that Edison, the good green sod ot Caution,
will pace in 2:10 this year.

Stallion Show at Livermore.

Kingston (N. Y.), Sept. 10. 1858.
Db. J. B. Khndall Co.,

(-lefts'— Your Kendall's Spavin Cure I bavp used for the last two years,
and I tblnk It Is the heet medicine I ever saw for Hpavlu and;-pllnt, and
w 111 freely recommen-l It to my friends. Yours respectfully,

Wm. Prochnow.

The pretty little town of Livermore, six miles from Pleas-
anton in the Livermore valley, is to revive the custom of
having a stallion show every spring. The first one for
years will be held on Saturday rest. February 24th, and
the Livermore Herald speaks of it as follows:

"With tbe purpose of making a display of stallions that
will show the merits of the individual entrieB as well bb
being an exhibition of the resources of the valley in tbe
borse line, a number of representative horse owners, headed
by a committee consisting of Andrew Block, Jos. Blondin,
Job. Martin and N. D. Dutcher, have arranged a horse
show which will take place in Livermore on Saturday,
February 24th, beginning at 2 o'clock p M. The owner of
every stallion in the Livermore valley is invited to make an
exhibit and it is suggested that not only stallions but their
colts be exhibited. No condition attaches to the exhibit as
no premiums will be awarded and tbe exhibition is held
simply for the purpose of advertising the entries.

Parties owning good driviog or work horses are requested
to bring them to Livermore en that day as buyers from
abroad will be present and some good sales may be made.

This is an opportunity that horse owners cannot afford to
miss. It requires no expense and but little effort and the in-
dividual and the community are both b«nefited.

It was formerly the custom to hold these shows annually
and some fine exhibits were made. It is lo be hoped that
their revival will be attended with equal success."

that it ia enforced. If such a law is not passed the time
will come when the whole respectable portion of the city's
population^will arise againBt the evil, and to make suc-
cess certain will do as has been done in many cities and
States — make a coalition with the fraud reformers and
cranks and prohibit nearly every form of sport and
recreation wherein contests of any sort occur, A vast-
majority of the people are friendly to legitimate racing,
and do not object to legitimate betting upon results, but
whenever the occasion arises when they must array
themselves with either the gamblers or the cranks they
will side with the latter. They have done it in the New
England States, in the South and in the West, and the
people of the Pacific Coast are not different from their
brothers across the mountains. If the health authorities
find themselves unable to stamp out the plague in a dis-
trict they set fire to the buildings and lay the whole
district in waste, though the majority of houses therein
may not be infected. It is the same with the pool room
issue. The people are against it and if they cannot stop
it by special laws they will exterminate it by a general
one that will destroy many legitimate sports also.

THE WAR AGAINST THE POOL ROOMS which
has been raging in Sacramento for the past few weeks
terminated as all such fights invariably do, in a com-
plete victory for the people as opposed to the gamblers
Unfortunately the fight took on such proportions, and
the feeling against the law-defying class became so
worked up, that the City Trustees went to ex kernes and
in the ordinance prohibited all pool selling whatever
whether cariied on within or wilhout the enclosure of a
race track, thus prohibiting the selling of pools at Agri-
cultural Park where the State Fair races are held. We
do not believe, however, that this ordinance will be
allowed to remain in force during the State Fair meet-
ing, and are confident the Sacramento jeople will see to
it that the law is amended bo as to permit betting to be
carried on in the usual manner at the State Fair this
year. The action of the Trustees, however, shows very
plainly the strength of public opinion when thoroughly
aroused against any evil. There is no excuse whatever
for the existence of city pool rooms where the business of
gambling on raceB, prize fights or anything else is carried
on. They are a menace to all true sport and an evil
which no respectable community will long tolerate.
They arouse such a sentiment against legitimate sports
that the mass of the people, made angry by repeated
successful assaults upon reasonable laws, take the bull
by the horns and in order to stop the evil entirely, pass
laws that are sumptuary in eflect and necessarily deny
a large proportion of the population the right of inno-
cent amusement. San Francisco has been cursed for
years with the pool room evil, but the time is surely
coming when the people will insist upon a complete sup-
pression of the illicit traffic. It is to be hoped that the
present Board of Supervisors, many of whom are patrons
and riends of all legitimate sports, will pass an ordinance
that will be reasonable and just and that the executive
ki- judicial departments of the city government will see

$3000 GUARANTEED is the amount again offered
by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association
for foals of 1899 to pace and trot for in 1901 and 1902.
This is a continuation of the Pacific Breeders Futurity
Stake, inaugurated two years ago, the two year old
divisions of which were decided last year and the three
year old divisions of which will race at the Breeders
meeting this year. The P. C. T. H. B. A. should get a
very large entry in these Btakes, as the payments are
easy and the amount of money to be won large. The
advertisement containing the conditions and all par-
ticulars will be found in this issue.

THE ADVOCATES of the hoppled trotter and pacer
have taken a commanding position, if they have not
won a decisive victory. It seems to be decided that
the use of straps will be allowed on all tracks the com-
ing season, unless the Kentucky Breeders Association
concludes to exclude them at the Lexing'on meeting.
To those who have the best interest of the trotting turf
at heart it seems like a step backward, but the tracks
which last year stood out against what they considered
one of the worst evils of the turf, found the financial
loss involved by their position so h^avy, that in the
face of a threatened boycott on the early closing plan of
closing stakes was more than they could assume. The
enforcement of the rule against hopples cost the Read-
ville Association upwards of $5000 last year, and the
management would have cheerfully lost this amount if
it had, as they hoped, been the means of bringing other
associations in the grand circuit into line, but when it
was shown at the meeting of the Stewards at Detroit,
that no new converts to the reform were forthcoming the
management of the New England Breeders Association
concluded that there was little use in keeping their nose
at the grindstone.

PROF. E. P. HEALD of this city has decided to
place his stallion, Pilot Prince 2:22f, in the bands of
Cbas. Scott at the Napa race track for the season of 1900'
Pilot Prince was a great colt trotter and won all his
races as a two year old, when an unfortunate accident
prevented further racing on his part. Very few of his
get have been trained but all show speed and they uni-
versally make excellent roadsters. There are quite a
number of his produce that we know of which can get
records this year if their owners will race them. For
speed, endurance, good dispositions and soundness the
get of Pilot Prince can not be excelled, and the horse-
men of Napa county are fortunate in having Buch game
and enduring blood at their command. Pilot Prince
will make the season in charge of that well known
horseman, Chas. Scott, who has had charge of the Napa
race track for so many years.

MARCUS DALY'S HORSES in training, which are
now stabled at Ingleside in charge of Dan Dennison, will
be sold at auction by Wm. G. Layng, the live stock
auctioneer at the Occidental Horse Exchange next
Tuesday evening. Those wanting well bred race horses
should attend this sale, as there will be few better oppor-
tunities to get good ones at your own prices. The horses
bred and raised at Bitter Root Stock Farm in Montana
are noted for their good racing qualities, iron constitu-
tions, good feet and legs and strong lungs, and there are
a number of maidens in this string that will surely de-
velop into good winners if raced. Remember the date
of this sale is Tuesday evening next at the Occidental
Horse Exchange.

JOS. THAYER, the well known Lexington horse-
man, is spending the winter in California. He is at the
Palace with his wife and says he will enjoy the climate
here until April. Mr. Thayer does not breed trotters
but buys colls, develops, races and sells them and has
been very successful. Dr. Latham, of Oakland, who
spent last year in Kentucky, says that Mr. Thayer is the
best judge of a colt in America and can tell sooner
whether a green horse will do to train and race than
any person he ever saw.

NAPA AND VALLEJO will both hold fairs and
race meetings this year in all probability and we under-
stand the Boards of Directors of those two associations
will soon make official announcement of the fact. Both
these towns have excellent mile tracks and well equipped
fair grounds, and as they have a two years' appropriation
to use there is no reason why they should not be able to
hold meetings that will pay a good profit as well as
draw large crowds of people during the week.

The P. O. T. H. B. A. is Prosperous

A meeting of the Beard of Directors t,f the Pacific Coast
i rotting Horse Breeders Association was held last Wednes-
day. The meeting was called to onsider plans for the asso-
ciation for thiB vear. Directors Gurnett, Kirkpatrick, Hug,
Covey, Crowley and Htald were present. Vice President
Gurnett presided at the meeting, and it was the opinion of
the members present that the association will ba able to give
a better race meeting this year than for a number of years
past. The prospects are that there will he more horses in
training and tbat nearly all if ihe district associations will
give 'airs and race meetings which will b oru the business
of harness racing on this Coast for 1900. The secretary's
report showed that the association was in a much more pros-
perous condition than at the commencement of 1899, there
beiDg a balance in the hands of the treasurer of $1459.62
against $408 39 at the close of 1898. The meeting last year
at Santa Rosa showed a profit of $1061 20, while the race
meetings of the association for a number of years previous
have shown a loss.

As will be seen in the advertising columns of this paper
the association < fisra a Pacific Breeders Futurity Stakes for
foals of 1899 to trot and pace in 1901 and 1902, of $3000,
guaranteed. These slakes are a conlinnation of the Pacific
Breeders Futurity Stakes, the three year old division of
which will take place this year. The terms are liberal and
the nominator can start his borse both at two years old and
three years old. The Pacific Coast Trotting Horee Breeders
AsBociation is ersentially an association of breeders and is an
advocate of colt stakes.

The presi ent appointed a committee to draft resolutions
of respect in regard to the death of 1). E Knight, the first
vice-president of the association and who acted as president
doriDg 1899.

It was not finally decided where the race meeting of the
association will be held Ibis year. The secretary was in-
structed to see what could be done toward holding the meet-
ing in connection with some one the of district fairs at one of
the larger cities on tbe grand circuit.

The matter of electing a president was postponed until the
next meeting of the Board.

Mambrino Chief Jr.

Last year that good race borse Geo. Washington 2:16|
made the season at Woodland, Yolo county, and was bred to
a Dumber of choice mares. He was taken sick while being
returned to his owner, Thos. Smith of Valleji, at the close
of the season and died, bo this year Mr. Smith has seDt tbe
sire of Geo. Washington, Mambrino Chief Jr., to take that
horse's place at Woodland, in charge of Charles JohnBOn.
Mambrino Chief Jr. is a grand individual, standing 15 3
and weighing 1100 pounds. He is a blood bay and his get
are all large with good style and action, ard legs and feet
like iron. He has had but very limited opportunities in the
stud and but few of his get were owned by persons who would
train them, yet be has sired such good ones as Geo. Wash-
ington 2:161. Dollican 2:15}, Sweet Rosie 2:28}, the winner
of the Occident Stakes for 1896, and others. His sire, Mc-
Donald Chief 3583, sired Colnmbus 8. 2:17, and others and
has prodncing sons and daughters. McDonald Chief was by
the great sire of speed and gameness Clark Chief 89, and out
of a mare by the thoroughbred Berthune. The dam of Mam-
brino Chief Jr., was Venus by Mambrino Patchen, the great
broodmare sire. There is blood that trots fast, goes the very
longest route and breeds on in the veins of Mambrino Chief
Jr. and he reproduces his splendid individnality with great
uniformity. The very low fee of $25 ought to attract to
Mambrino Chief Jr. a large patronage from the farmers of
Yolo county, as the horse with size, style and action se well
as Bpeed is the one most in demand, and they will get this
sort if they mate with him mares which carry the blood of
Alex. Button, Dietz's St. Clair, Ellis' Black Ralph and other
stallions of size and style that stood for service in that locality
in past years.

Among the trotting bred stallions advertised in the
Bkeedeb add Sportsman this season is Welcome, a horse
that stands over sixteen hands high, weighs 1300 pounds and
has a reeord of 2:271 trolling and 2:10J pacing. The year
in which he took his pacing record he was campaigned by
Andy McDowell through Montana and California. He
started nine timeB against the fastest pacers on the circuit
and beat them all, winning six first moneys, was twice second
and once third, many of his winning races being long drawn
out, proving him to be not only fast but game to the core.
Few horses have as much inherited speed as Welcome or
carry the blood of so many great producing Bires and dams.
Arthur Wilkes, his sire, Las a trottiog record of 2:28}, and
is the sire of four 2:15 performers. His grandsire Guy
Wilkes was a race horBe with a record of 2:16J and has Bired
eighteen 2:16 performers. His great grandsire, the mighty
George WilkeB, waB one of the greatest both on the track
and in the stud. Lettie, the dam of Welcome, is the dam of
two in 2:15 and his grandam Mary, by Flaxtail, is the only
mare that ever lived that has two daughters that have each
produced two 2:15 performers. Among Welcome's blood rela-
tives witbin the first two generations are Wayland W. 2:12},
Fitz Lee 2:13}, Arlbur W. 2:11}, John A. (3) 2:14, Hobo
2:14}, Fred Kohl 2 07}, Huldi 2:08}, Seymour Wilkes 2:08},
Lssa Wilkes 2:09,Daedalion 2:11, Creole 2:15 (sire of Javelin
2:08}), and many others with extreme speed.

Welcome is a grand individual, and imparts his size,
color, gameness and good looks to his offspring. 41 the
farm of his owner, H. W. Meek of HaywardB, a few of bis
first colls are being worked and they show great speed There
are yearlings, two and three year oldB by him at the farm
and those who desire «ize and conformation as well as speed
should take a trip to Haywards and look these colts over.
Welcome is in charge of Mr. George Gray, superintendent
of the farm, who will be pleased to answer all communica-
tions. A horBe that is a fine individual with a race record
of 2:10}, whose sire has a race record and ie the sire of four
2:15 performers, and whose dam his piodaced two 2:15 per-
formers is certainly worth considering when looking for a
stallion to mate your mares with this season.

New Yobk, February 14. — About forty members of the
National Trotting Association met here to-day to elect offic-
ers, pass amendments to by-laws and transact otber business
of the Association. There were 325 voteB represented.

The old officers were re elected, except that George W.
Archer succeeds David Bonoer as 6rst vice president. John
P. Schuliz was added to the board membership in the Atlao -
tic district ; Henry Schmullah succeeds V. L Kirkman in
the Central district and John C. Kirkpatrick replaces the
late C. M. Chase in the Pacific district. With these excep-
tions the old members of the district boards were re elected.

Certain alterations in the trotting ruleB were adopted
The most important shortens the distance on mile tracks to
eighty yards, when lees than eight horses start; in other
cases it will be 100 yards. On half mile tracks the distance
is to be 100 and 150 yards respectively.

A new section added to the rales on expulsion provides
that all persons and horses under expulsion for fraud by
reputable trotting and running associations in any country
conducting races under established rules shall also be expelled
from all tracks of the American and Natiooal Associations.
This rule and the rules establishing the distance are in com-
plete accordance with those of the American Association,
and mark the commencement of a permanent agreement be-
tween the two organizations.

SteamtDg a Horse's Head.

When a horse haB a severe cold or throat trouble it often
becomes very desirable to give the horse a thorough steam-
ing and thus clear the head. 1 recently saw an exce!leot
device for this purpose described and exhibited in a lecture
on treatment of throat troubles by Dr. Waterman, of the
Michigan Agricultural College. It consisted of a common
tea kettle with the cover soldered on, and a small tin tube
eecurely fastened in the middle of the cover. To this tube
which extended above the cover for perhaps three inches
a rubber tube is attached which carries the steam to a bag
drawn over the horse's nose. The bag itself is about two
feet long with sufficient size so that the nose slips into it
easily. The best material is a very heavy canvaB or common
grain Back baggirg. Two large holes are made in one eide
somewhere near the nostrils to insure yood ventilation.
Otherwise the horse in breathing the eame sir repeatedly
would be injured more than benefited. The tube from the
tea kettle enters the bag from near the bottom. The mere
steaming in itself is good, but it can be much improved if
soothing remedies are added to the water so that their vapors
escape with the steam. Among those that will be good are
the following given fresh at each steaming; To about one
quart of water add two tableBpoonfals of tar. two teaepoonfuls
of tincture of benzoin, and from two to three drachms of
fluid extract of belladonna. These can be given either sep-
arately or together. — C. P. Reynolds in National Stockman
and Farmer.

Novel Futurity Stake For Trotters.

New YoriK, February 15 —The crowd that thronged
Madison-square Garden about the time the Bonner hoise6
were to be put on Bale to-day wat enoimous. Before Elfrida,
the first of the consignment, was brought out the band struck
np "Auld Lang Syne," and Maud 8., the turf queen, wa8
sent around the track on exhibition. She waB greeted with
cheers and the big crowd stood up in their seats and waved
their hats and handkerchiefs in the air.

Pray Tell was the first of the consignment to be sold. The
bidding was rapid, but at no time exciting. He was started
at $1000 and raised by thousands to $5000. The bids from
then until the Belling price $6100, was reached, climbed by
hundreds. When Robert Bonner purchased Pray Tell he
paid $5100 for him.

The bidding on tiunol was slower than that on the gelding.
Two thousand five hundred was bid and she stood at that
figure for some time. It was finally raised to $3900 by de-
grees and another balk came. Mr. Sbults then bid the even
$4000 and got the mare. She cost Robert Bonner $41,000*

Matt Dwyer secured Worthier, a half-brother of Sunol
for $3500 after some spirited bidding. Dwyer also secured
Mary Tudor, the crack yearling, daughter of Worthier and
Russella, for $2125. The Robert Bonner consignment of
forty head brought $32,415.

The best sales of the Bonner consignment were :

Golden Gate Park Driving Association,

The largest attendanco'seej for some time in the rooms of
the Golden Gate Park Dhtju^ Association at the Palace
Hotel was brought out last Tuesday evening on the occasion
of the election of the first Board ot directors under the new
constitution and by-laws adopted for'fhe government of this
club.

The committee on decora'ing the rooms, consisting of Dr.
I. B. Dalziel and Secretary Thompson, had adorred the
walls with many handsome paintings and engr&viDgB of
prominent American harness horse champions and were con-
gratulated on all aides for Lbe good taste and judgment they
had displayed.

The election of a board of directors was the principal
business of the meeting, and there were twenty-two nomina-
tions made, the eleven receiving the highest number of votes
to be declaied the choice of the memberB. The contest was
quite lively, but entirely good natured and resulted in the
following gentlemen being elected: Messrs. J. C. Kirk-
patrick, E. Aigeltinger, A. B. Spreckele, H. C. Patrick, J.
C. Ohlandt, I. B. Dalziel, F. W. Thompson, W. C. Hamer-
ton, E Stewart, F. J. O'Kane and J. Swett. The board is
composed of active, energetic gentlemen, all prominent road
drivers and enthusiastic horsemen, and under their guidance
the association will take a prominent place among the driv-
ing clubs of the United States.

A set of racing rules were adopted and ordered printed
which will soon be distributed among the members. The
new Board of Directors will hold its firBt meeting on Tues-
day evening next, when the cfficers will be selected for the

ensuing year.

Bbook Cubby continues to add to his good band of brood-
mares at The Brook. He recently purchased from H. 8.
Reed a bay mare by Onward, dam by Abdallah 15, in foal to
Clay King; brown mare by Cyclone, dam by Mambrino
Patchen, in foal to Clay King; brown mare by Belmont Boy,
dam by Victor Bismarck, in foal to Clay King, and a bay
mare by Nutbreaker, dam by St. Just. He also bought one
or two others whose breeding we did not obtain.

The program for the Spring Meeting at Cumberland Park,
Nashville, has been announced by Secretary Busswum. Rac-
ing will begin on April 28th, and continue seven days, clos-
ing on May 5'b. There will be five races each day, and the
purses are $250 and $300 in addition to the Tarf Congress
Stakes, to which $2000 is added.

It is said that Brook Curry will name one hundred mares

Greatest Sale of the Year!

Sixteen Royally Bred

Breeders will be interested by the news that the managers
of Charter Oak Park have announced a novel Futurity
Stake for trotting bred foals of 1900. The guaranteed value
is $10,000, $7500 of which will go to the colts that trot, while
$2500 is reserved for the pacers. The money in the trotting
race will be divided as follows: Six thcusand dollars to the
winner, $1000 to the second and $500 to the third. The
winner of the pacing race is to receive $2000, the second
horse $300 and the third $200. Entries will close on March
10th, when the broodmares must be named.

Perhaps the most remarkable feature of the race is the
first payment. The fee to name a mare in the Futurity is
only $1. The second payment is $5 and is due on November
1, 1900, when the foal must be described. After this date
there are further payments of $10 on March 1, 1901, and
March 1, 1902, and a final payment of $5 on March 1. 1903,
when the foal must be named This makes the total cost of
Btarting in a $10,000 race only $31, or lesB than one-third cf
1 per cent. The race will be governed by lbe rules of the
National Trotting Association in force on the date of the
contest, and will be known as the Hartford Futurity.

business.

This has been agreed upon by both the National and the
American Trotling Associations.

The Kentucky Futurity of 1900 will remain open till
March 25tb. It costs $5 to enter, and $15 keeps the entry
good till within four months of the race. This year it is for
$20,000, and is the richest aod most liberal trotting colt
stake in existence. Secretary Wilson anticipates a great
entry list in the Futmity tbis year.

Eight sons of George Wilkes are now standing in Ken-
tucky, viz., Wilton, Jay Bird, YouDg Jim, Gambetta Wilkes,

Ed Mills, tbe Boston turfman who minaged* the cam-
paigns of Star Pointer 1:59} and Searchlight 2:03}, has
bought of Thos. Kinser, of Terre Haute, Ind,, the six year
old bay pacing gelding Indiana 2:06A by Kir>g of Bellaire,
dam by Woodford. Indiana made bis record io the cam-
paign of 1899 It is surmised that he will be a companion
to Searchlight in the Brooson stable this year.

One of the best two rear old prospects in the State is a
black colt by Oro Wilkes 2:11 out of Flora Belle 2:24, second
dam the great broodmare Fontaoa, dam of Silas Skioner 2:17
and others, owned by Mr. W. O. Booth of San Mateo. This
colt is very handsome and ought to make a very fast horse,
as be has lots of natural speed and though only just broken
can show a fast clip. He is for sale at a very reasonable
figure.

Henry Titek, who trains and drives the trotters belong-
ing to Malcolm Forbes, owner of Arion 2:07$. has been in
California for a week aod made this office a pleasant call on
Monday. He has been to Pleasanlonand other points where
training \b going on, and last Wednesday spent the day at
Palo Alto looking over that gieat farm. Mr. Titer is one of
the leading reinsmen of America, and expresses the opinion
that tbe trottiog season of 1900 will be a record breaker.

Mr. Chas. F. Kapp, of 1200 Market street, this city, has
euflered a loss that will arouse the sympathy of every horse-
man in the State. His weaoliog colt by Altamont out of
Marguerite, by Dom Pedro, jumped out of a corral near
Pleasanton a few days ago, and struck on a picket which
pierced it nearly to the heart. The services of Dr. Egan of
this city were secured by telegraph, bat the wound was a
fatal one and the colt died in a few hours It was a very
handsome, large colt and one of the most promising wean-
lings in California. Mr. Kapp, who is an enthusias ic
amateur horsemao, had eolered him io tbe Occident Stage,
and was off red a big price for him but a few days previous
to tbe accident but declined it, as be desired the honor of
starting a colt of his own breeding in the biggest stake offered
on the Pacific Coast.

An electric "locomobile" containing W. L. Edison, a son
of the inventor of the machine, and two friends, raised all
kind of havoc one afternoon recently on West Fifty-ninth
street, New York City. The machine ran into a trolley car
and after the occupants were thrown out and the trolley
moved, it played around like a jumpiog-jack for a few min-
utes until it got stuck against the park wall. Young Mr.
Edison and his companions had been along fifth Avenue with
the machine, which is a two-seated affair, and intended cross-
ing through Fifty-ninth street and going up Eighth avenue.
As the machine turoed into the cross street Mr. Edison, who
was controlling it, found that something was wrong with the
machinery, and tried to stop it, but, upon turning tbe lever,
be found that instead of the current dimishing, it increased
and the auto dashed along at a terrific speed. Mr. EdiBOn
was badly injured about the head and body, while the other
two received slight wounds. The machine was hauled away
afterwards.

Mr. Geo 8. Watt, of Decatur, III., representing the
firm of Tichenor & Co., the leading dealers in fine carriage
hor6eB in tbe United States, has been in California for tbe
past two weeks looking for horses suitable for his firm's
trade. Mr. Watt informs us that he finds the class of ani-
mals desired an exceedingly scarce article. He says the
trotting bred horse makes the best carriage horse on earth
when he has the proper conformation aod is well mannered.
He must be a high stepper, however, one that lifts his knees
with bold action, and his hocks likewise, with no "spraddling."
He must have a well shaped head, arched neck and plenty
of quality and substance. The slab-sided high actor will not
do, and the well built horse with no action is not desirable.
Mr. Watt has been on manv a wild goose chase to look at
hoises which the owners insisted would meet his require-
ments, but which he found on inspection to be entirely unfit
for his use. He is an intelligent gentleman and says when
the Western breeders find out what sort of an animal is most
in demand they will breed it, but (hat at present few seem to
understand the handling or education of the ideal carriage
horse.

Several turf papers as well as the daily press have given
wide publicity to an item stating that the great stallion Dan
Cupid 2:09}, had been sold to go to Poland. Acting on this
supposed fact, con9iderable ink has been spilled in rejoicing
over the new territory opened by this transaction, for the
sale of American trotters. The Polish horseman appears to
have been a myth, at any rate the real buyer was Mr. J. B.
Haggin, one of the best known and wealthiest breeders in
tbis country, who will place him in the stud at Elmendorf
Farm, Lexington, Ky. That this richly bred horse is to be
kept here instead of being exported is gocd news for we have
not enough of his kind. He raced fast and gamely for sev-
eral drivers, and in the hands of W. H. (Knap) McCarthy
he won bis record and a place among the greatest race horses
of the age. A horse of beautiful conformation, exquisite fin-
ish, pure frictionless gait, and perfect disposition he is a
model horse and loo many like him cannot be produced.
According to all tbe laws and precedents of breeding he will
reproduce himself in bis prcgeny. His breeding is con-
sidered, by no less a j'jdge of pedigrees than Peter C. Kellogg
to be the very best to tbis date. By Barney Wilkes, dam
Astermore by Stratbmore, second dam Asterie by Asteroid,
certainly is a royal pedigree. — Trolter and Pacer.

In talking to Harry Pointer, the owner of Sweepstakes,
the dam of Star Pointer 1:59} and Hal Pointer 2:04*. the
other day, he said that it was a singular fact that only those
of the old mare's colts had accomplished anything — been
pacers or the dims of pacers — that had been foaled after a
year's rest by their dam, writes "Trotwood" in Horse Re-
view. Sweepstakes skipped the year before Hal Pointer
was foaled and then again the year before Star Pointer;
the oext lime it was 8tella (dam of Argot Wilkes and Hal
Index), then Clnud Pointer, and lastly McClary's great colt
Maury Pointer (by the way, it is pronounced Murray by the
natives of the county he is named for). This suggests a
timely sutject, since the season for mating is now upon us.
But there is no doubt that there is much in tbe assertion
above, though perhaps not enough to establish any fixed
theory on the subject. Yet, all things being equal, it is
reasonable Io suppose that broodmares, like everything else,
nerd a year's rest now and then, to do themselves and their
foals full justice. Any breeder may remember how often a
foal has come more robust and vigorous after a year in
which tbe dam has "skipped." The constant drain on the
dam's strength and nerve force of Buckling one foal and
carrying another is contrary to laws of good sense, and can
only result in a number of foals possessing no particular in-
dividuality, no force of nerve, but, like a paper of pins, all
of the same length and degree of sharpness. Tbe horse
business has reached that point where it is not so much now
a question of quantity as of quality, and in submitting this
fact we think it will not be amiss if breeders will be gov-
erned by it in the mating of their mares.

Sires of Winning Two Year Olds.

King Eric, imp. Midlothian and imp. Pareebearer, each

Eric was represented by Princess Tbyra oat of Fragrance,
with seven races; Isabioda oot of Virgilioa, seveD; Mitten
oat of Tara Blackburn, three; Deveric oat of Devonia, one
and Creation oat of Sister Monica, two. Princess Tbyra waj
very speedy, and among her races were foar furlongs in
0:48}, fire farlongs in 1:02} and same distance in 1:01}.
Though not a stake winner, she showed considerable class.
Jsabinda won four and a half furlongs in 0:55:1, acd other
creditable races. While not stake class they were both use-
ful fillies. The six representatives of imp. Midlothian were
Lomond out of Taluda, eight race?; Morbid out of Fearless>
two; Dunblane oat of Loleta, three; Midity out of Charity,
four; Midwood oat of Miss Woodford, two, and Gundava,
one. Lomond began racing in January in California and
won three and a half furlongs in 0:42, four furlongs on a
heavy track in 0.49} and six furlongs in 1:15}. There were
no Sir Walters in the lot, but Lomond was a useful colt.

The representatives of imp. Pursebearer were Unsightly
out of Hira Villa, twelve races; Maple out of Maid Albion,
one; Mollie Newman oat of Flutter, two; Benadier oat of
Margery, one, and Erla d'Or out of Martha, four. Next in

eight; Ten Candles out of Tenerine, one; May Ella out of
Sister, two; Standing out of Tne Lioness, three, and Kamara
oat of Balaklava, ore, making eighteen races to the credit of

Contrary out of Lady McNairy, three; The Amazon out of
imp. Certainen, three; Prestidigitator out of Active, two;
Bonnivard out of Bonnella, three and Insurrection out of
L'Intrigante, two.

Lady Contrary won the Ardelle Stakes, foar furlongs, in
50, and the Gayoso Hotel Stakes, four furlongs, in 49, and
the balance of the lot were creditable performers. Thirteen
of the get of Hanover won eighteen races as follows:
Revonah out of Extra, one race; Fleeting Moments out of
Bonnie Lee, one; Winyah out of Eloise, two; De Lacy, out
of King Cap, twc; Lamacbus out of Miss Winkle, two; David

line Nun, one; Reminder out of Keepsake, one; Hansbor-
ough out of Philura, one; Toddy out of Hot Scotch, one; Mr.

49 3-5; David Garrick won the Great Trial 8takes, Futurity
Course, in 1:12 2-5, and Missionary won the Surf Stakes
Futurity Course, in 1:08 4 5.— Turf, Field and Farm.

season will revive the waning interest in racing among the
high-class patrons of the sport in Chicago.

The gates of the Washington iPark track have been clcsed
since 1898. Although rumors have been in circulation ever
since the election of President Hamlin that the club wculd
give a meeting this year, as it was well known that the new
president was in favor of racirjg, the action of the directors
last night was to a certain extent unexpected, as they were
not supposed to meet until the last week in February.

It is safe to say that the owners of the Hawihorneand
Harlem tracks will make noefiort to clash with Washington
Park as regards dates, and as a result Washington Park will
have no opposition during (be twenty five day's raciDg.

Appended is the stake program. It will be seen thrt the
club has given $10,000 added money to the American Derby
and has dealt liberally from a financial point of view to the
other stake events :

year olds, will be included in the program, and during the
meetiogthe Washington Park. Club will give away $100,000
in purses and stakes.

Secretary James Howard made the following statement last
week :

'The Washington Park club will have racing, and good
racing at that, during the coming season. The directors, by
a unaniu ous vote, decided to I old a twenty-tive day race
meeting, beginning Saturday, June 23d, and closing July
21st. We also arranged a program for the various stakes,
the entries for which will close March 7th. As a matter of
course the full program of purees and special events haB not
yet been arranged. Furthermore we have not decided on
any of the details, such as the appointment of track officials
or arranging for the betting privileges. We intend to do all in
our power to make the meeting at Washington Park a notable
one. The club will offer liberal pusses and the directors have
reason to believe that a number of high class horses from the
East will be entered in all the big stakes."

The official announcement of the resumption of racing at
Washington Park will prove more than welcome to Western
urf men, and in the opinions of the best critics the coming

The Weetchester Racing Association has leased a p'ece of
land outside the Morris Park track, and it has been fixed for
schooling steeplechasers.

Jockey Bullman won the watch in the three weeks com-
petition at the Oikland track, and it was presented to him
by President Williams after the last race on Saturday.

Old Himtar lookB very well for a horse of his age. He
was foaled in 1875 and ran second to Day Star in the Ken-
tacky Derby in 1878. Oat of fourteen mares bred to him
last year, twelve are in foal.

The Annual of Goodwin's Official Turf Guide for 1899
will be r.'ady for distribution about February 12th, which
date is three weeks earlier than it has usually been com-
pleted. It will conlain, as usual, all tbe racijg o' 1899, and
other information indispensable to turfmen and breeders and
will be a welcome addition to every sportsman^ library.

The Roby racing 6tables at Koby, Ind., were burned Feb.
Sd, entailing a loss of $45,000. including three valuable rac-
ing horses belonging to the Thomas Costetlo stables. Two
hostlers belonging to the Coetello stables were burned aroat
the face and one seriously kicked by a frantic borse. The
grand stand was saved. The stables caught fire from a
prairie tire. The barns accommodate 945 horses They
were full of winter fodder,*coneisling of bay, grain and straw.
Besides this food, saddles and jockey paraphernalia were
stored in the stalls. These were a complete loss. Tbe Roby
track was built in 1891 by tbe Roby Race Track Asso-
ciation.

After having drawn the inside position in the race, being
allowed seven pounds, and gettiDg off in front, the $10,000
beauty Yellowtail managed to win tbe second of the match
races in which F W. Brode and Advance Guard were the
other starters at Oakland last Saturday. The mile was ruo
in 1:39}, a quarter of a second faster than Brode ran it four
days previous, which is a splendid performance for any hors
even though out to tbe last pound. Spencer had tbe mount
on tbe winner and gave him a masterly ride. Had the dis-
tance been ten yards farther Advance Guard would have
beaten him, and there is no doubt but tbe latter colt would
have brought the biggest price bad tbe three been offered
for sale immediately after the race. The win of Yellowtail
was very popular and be was well backed. It was figured
by those who had studied tbe "dope1' that be could ran a
mile if just right in about 1:39 could he get off well and
have no interference. The "eight and the position next tbe
rail were the factors that did most to bring about the result,
and while it could be plainly seen that (he son of Watercress
was stopping at the finish be lasted >oog enough to laud the
money and that was enough.

[Febbuaby 17, 1900

Anglers who favor that grandest of fly-fishing spof.s on the
Coast, the Robinson pool in Eel river, will soon have caase
for congratalation in one respect and that is, there is now in
course of preparation and re-fitting near Singley station one
of the cosiest stoppiog places that a fisherman would wish to
put up at.

Frank Maskey, a roval all round sportsman, has purchased
the old homestead at Ellis Robinson's place and is having it
refarnisbed and fixed up in first class style bo that anglers
now may rely upon having a certain and comfortable place
to stop when fishing on Eel river, Telephone connection
will also be direct with this city; what a boon this will be is
only known to an enthusiastic rod wielder. New boats will
be at the disposal of the guests. A cottage on the grounds
has been reserved for Mr. Maskey and hie family. Other
cottages will be ready for visitors. The place will
be in charge of Ellis Robinson, a veteran angler and an old
resident on the river, a genrleman who has the e=ieem of
Bcores of fishing men.

The Tacoma Evening News in a recent iBsue, says: "Year
by year the spring run of sea trout (steelheads) is growing
less, and all because the favorite food of the fishes, which is
the spawn cf the dog salmon, is disappearing from the creeks.
Indians and white men, who should know better, have been
allowed to slaughter the do? salmon by any and all means.
Hence the scarcity of trout "

8teelheads, it has been coiiced by local anglers, are becom-
ing scarcer every year in the Coast Btreams. Five or bij
years ago the dog ealmoo, which is known here as the hook
bill, were very plentiful in the tide waters of Paper Mill
creek, but they gradually grew lees A hookbill is seldom
seen now, and possibly to its disappearance can be attributed
the scarcity cf small steelheads in the stream.

A theorv with anglers has been that the rainbow trout is
not partial to the allurements of the flr or bait until about
the middle of March, hence in planting salmcn fry it has
been the custom on the McUloud for the fish culturists at
Baird to place the small fisb in the river during the winter.
Recently 350,000 salmon fry were placed in the river.
Mr. Lee Dunning, who is connected with the United States
hatchery at Baird and who is also an expert angler, with
Captain Lambson, a Deputy Fish Commissioner, tried several
rimes with the rod, 03ing a gray hackle fir, last week. In
half an hour seven large sized beautiful rainbow trout were
landed, upon examination a number of tiny salmon fry re-
cently planted were fouod in the stomach of each fish
caught.

NewB from Russian river the early part of this week
prompted Col. Keliehor and Al Hall to start for Duncan's
on Wednesday morning. A number of nice fish were caught
in the Btreams last week bv Manuel Cross, Mr. Watson, Mr.
and Mrs McClure, Chas. Green and Johnny Burns. Land-
lord Orr, of the Orchard Home Hotel near Duncan's, has his
place dow in first-class shape for fishermen.

A few steelheads have been caught in the Paper Mill dur-
ing the week ' Three averaging five pounds apiece were
landed on Thursday. While the run of fish is not large
enough to warrant a "rush" of anglers to Point Reyes, still a
number of the veterans will try the stream to-day and to-
morrow.

grounds if time will permit. The shooting will commence
at 10:15 A. M. Shooters are requested to take the "quarter
to the bour" boats.

The local trap sea' on will be Btarted with a boom next
month. The Ingleside grounds will be the scene of the
principal target shooting here this year. The San Fran-
cisco Trap ShootiDg Association, an incorporated organiza-
tion, have leased the Ingleside grounds and have planned to
operate the track in the intereBt of Bhooters and for the bene-
fit of clubs. The officers of the new association are : Presi-
dent, Herbert Kullman; Vice President, Dr. S. E. KnowlesJ
Secretary-Treasurer, A. M. Shields; Directors, I. R D.
Grubb, C. A. Haight, Achille Roof, Edward Donohne and
three more yet to be named.

The clubs that have already arranged to sboot on the
grounds are, the California Wing Club, Olympic Gun Clob
and 8an Francisco Gun Clubs. The grounds will be refitted
and arranged for both live bird and taiget shooting. W. R
Mnrdock, an experienced and practical man, has been ap-
pointed Superintendent.

Considerable newspaper comment of a flittering nature has
recently appeared in yarious journals exploiting a so-called
Coast record on blue rocks made last month. The Coast
record is now held by Otto Fendner and it has not been
beaten and was made in a 100-bird race, known traps, un-
known angles, at the Oakland race track in 1897. In regard
to the recent much vaunted trap shooting at Santa Barbara
(and by reason of which great credit is claimed and much
virtue advertised for a certain make of gun and powder
used) we are reliably informed that the shooter was favored
by having the birds thrown shirty from known traps at
known angles in several events at ten, twenty and twenty-five
bird races. Even at this, the performance is very creditable
shooting, but it is not record shooting. Nauman, Webb and
Fendner each have done equally as good work, counting con-
secutive events and practice scores, Ed Fendner has a
credit of 120 out of 121 targets broken at Dixon, the trap-
eprizgs were not loosened up either. The gentleman who is
credited with the wondeiful record made last month is
known throughout the Coast by reason of the clever shooting
he does with a ''pump" gun and always draws an audience
most of whom are attracted to witness the show by the same
motives which gather a crowd to hear a circus band.

The San Jose trap season will open on Sunday, March
18th, when the Garden City Gnu Club will hold their first
blue rock shoot for this year. Five races are on the card:
No 1 — Ten singles, entrance $1. Four moneys: 40, 30,
20, 10. No. 2— Twenty singleB, entrance $1 50. Four
moneys: 10, 20, 30, 40. No 3 — Twenty singles, entrance
$2. Four moneys: 40, 30, 20, 10. No. 4— Twentv singles,
entrance $2 50. Four moneyB: 10, 20, 30, 40 No. 5—
Twenty single?, entrance $2. Four moneys: 10, 20, 30,
40. Class shooting will prevail and all ties will divide.
Visitors from thi« city and vicinity should take train leaving
Townsend street at 7:30. The shoot will commence promptly
at 10 A. w. Two cents per bird will be deducted from
entrance monev. Take First street cars going south in San
Jose.

The Los Angeles Gun Club held a practice tournament on
the club grounds last Sunday. Four blue rock events were
held, each at 25 birds. Van Yalkenburg made the highest
average, and Matfield, by breaking 24 out of a possible 25 in
the bird round, made the best score. Another shoot will
be held tomorrow.

The results were as follows: Matfield 20, 18, 24, 22; Wright
15, 14, 14, ...; Van Valkenburg 23, 21, 22, 23; Fiehback 22,

At the Traps.

James McDonald, the unfortunate Napi sportBman who
lost his life recently, was using a repeating shot gun at the
time of the casualtv. In drawing the gun towards him the
hammer caught and the accident happened which cost a
valuable life. There iB a dangerous element in connection
with the mechanism of repeating shot suns that has caused
many fatal hunting accidents. One of the moBt prominent
members of the Los AngeleB Bar, about a vear ago, lost his
life in a most agonizing manner. His dog jumped after him
out of his duck boai and in doing bo upset his repeating shot
guo, which fell so that the hammer, striking in a glancing
manner caused the gun to explode and a charge of shot was
fired into the unfortunate hunter's thigb; he fell on the spot
and laid their partially under water for several hours before
he was discovered.

CARTRIDGE AND SHHUJ.

The decision of Judge Angellotti sustaining the enforce-
ment of the Marin county law prohibiting the use of repeat-
ing shot guns has been appealed from by W. A. Marshall
who was arrested and fined for violating the law.

A curious fin ' was made by ThomaB Joy near Arroyo Seco
in Monterey county about two weeks ago, the object being
no less than the petrified lower hind leg and paw of a bear
This curious specimen is about 15 inches high, the outlines
and formation being very distinct.

The intolerance recently Bhown by the Humane 8ociety
cranks Bgainst Colorado pigeon shooters has been recom-
menced in the courts of Jefferson county. A test case under
the present Stale law is now before the courts, upon the de-
cision the future of the sport in Colorado hinges.

The initial meeting of the spring trap shooting season will
be held at Alameda Point on next Thursday, Washington's
Birthday, under the auspices of the Lincoln Quo Club. The
affair will be open to all a d promises to draw a good attend-
ance of trap shooters. The schedule of events shows the fol-
lowing arrangement : Event 1, 10 Birds, entrance 60 centB.
3 moneys, high guns. Event 2, 15 Birds, entrance $1, 3
moneys, class shooting. Event 3, Freeze Out for tuikey (or

this event for experts). Event 5, Freeza Out, expert rules,
entrance 25 cents. Event 6, 25 Birds, entrance $2 50, 3
moneys, high guns Event 7, Couple 8hoot for Stake, en-
trance 75 cents. (Side Pool of 50c, decided on first 10 birds).

Senator Williams of Ohio has introduced a bill for the
consideration of the Stale Legislature "to make it unlawfal
to hunt quail with a dog." This, naturally, has caused much
dissatisfaction among Ohio sportsmen- It might be suggested
to the Honorable Senator that he have bis ears trimmed to
normal length.

George and Andrew Jackson, X. H. Hickman, Vic
Harrier, Walter D. and Cbanning Mansfield and Tod Sloan
composed a shooting party recently on Napa creek near the
"Santa Rosa drawbridge." Many canvasbacks were brought
down by the gnus. One of the party also shot an otter
which made its appearance among the decoyB.

A Remington gun won first honors in the championship
and continuous matches at the New York Sportsmen's Show
of '99, and a Remington was one of the two American guns
that killed twenty-five birds straight in the Grand American
Handicap of the same year. Bare facts, these, from a single
year's record — and the Remmington* ArmB Co. was estab-
lished in 1816. For a complete catalogue of the shot gnus,
rifles and pistols made by this company, drop them a postal
card at Ilion, N. Y., or 426-427 Market street this city.

While the greatest of American wood fowls iB the turkey,
the greatest ot Northwestern wood fowls is the grouse, called
generally the partridge, and misnamed in Wisconsin the
pheasant, though it is as much like a pheasant as a game
chicken is like a crow. Whatever the local name, however,
the birds are royal in life, in habits, in gameness, swiftness,
strength and ennning, and super-royal on the table. For
five years they have been protected in Wisconsin by a strict
law rigidly enforced, and they have multiplied exceedingly-
The inhibition was removed, according to the understanding
of those interested, on January 1st of (his year. Conse-
quent 1? there has been a great amount of shooting. Nobody
seems to be exactly clear as to whether or not permission to
slay grouse began on January 1st or is to begin at the open-
ing of the shooting season in 1900. Determined, however,
not to lose anything, most folks who own guns have been
using them. There is only one warden tc each Wisconsin
county; he cannot be expected to cover a wooded territory
from thirty to forty miles square, and at the same time
watch all of its streams for fish poachers. Moreover, he
likes shooting and roast grouse himself. So it has come to
pass that in all this part of the State, at least, the grouse
season is now open, and the birds are browning in the Dutch
ovens or in the stoves.

Just now the partridges are in flacks and will remain so
until late in April, when their mating will begin. TbeBe
coveys vary in number from six to fifteen birds. The female
grouse lays sometimes as many as twenty egge and most of
them hatch out. Tne family so brought into the world will
stay together until the next mating time. The young get
their legs and wings in usable condition with remarkable
rapidity. One day the nest will be fnll of eggs which show
no si go of the pip. Two days after it will be empty save for
the broken shells aud the brood may be five miles away.
The flocks of grouse cannot be broken up by anything save
death. Their family ties are especially strong and they have
Borne peculiar fashion of determining each other's identity.
Occasionally an individual, the sole survivor of a brood, is
permitted to join another group, but this is not frequent.
Most often it goes through the winter utterly alone. The
families are often scattered by two-footed and four-footed
hunters, but they come together again before sunset. Their
assembly call is strange. It is not bo far-reaching, resonant
and distinct as the plaintive one-eighth and one-sixteenth
notes of the scattered quail, but it serves it purpose. The
"come-to- we" call of the partridge is very soft and musical,
being more of a coo than of anything else.

The man who starts out to kill partridges in January is in
for a long, bard day of it, and unless he is nnusnally endur-
ing and expert, he is apt to have an empty bag at sunset.
The birds in the winter scarcity of food are forced to travel
great distances in order to get a living at all, and they are
very rapid on their feet. Fhe gait at which they trot
through the woods, even when ia no special hurry, is as fast
as a moderate walk, and they keep it up sometimes for two
hours on end without a pause. They go over the snow with
much less effort than a man or other heavy animals can go
through it, and are likely at any moment to vary tbe monot-
ony of foot progress by rising on their broad wings and flying
a mile before pitching. It is possible to trail them and stalk
them, but it requires much muscular effort and unlimited
patience. The people in tbe broken hills along the Missis-
sippi river of the Northwest know a trick worth two of that.
As they practice partridge shooting it is a thing of little ex.
ertion. The favorite feeding time of the bird is in the
twilight which follows the set of the low sun. Between sun.
set and pitch dark in this latitude there is nearly an hour of
gray light. As snow is everywhere the light holds much
longer than it would ordinarily, and even after one or two
faint stars hive appeared it is possible to see an object of
grouse s\zi, Iu this hour the partridges feed upon the buds
of the ironwjod tress. The iroawood is a tree that seldom
attains a height of more than forty feet. It has many small
branches, no leaves in the winter/and at the end of each of
the twigs is a smili excrescence which contains a green and
iuicy heart. Of these buds the birds are fond. They gather
them in their strong hills, closing down m them and giving
a sidewiBe wrench of the bead which severs them from the
stem as neatly as it could be done with a pair of scissors
When a flock iB feeding on ironwood buds tbe noise of this
snipping can be heard for some distance over tbe snow. The
tree grows almost wholly in gorges, between hills.

Up the gorge the huntttr walks slowly, listening intently
for the clipping of the sharp bills. Hs carries a 22-caliber
rifle, which makes little noise when it is discharged, and he
counts upon approaching within fifty yards of his quarry

Fhbbuary 17 1900j

He knows that if he hears one peculiar Bnap made by the
severance of the bud from its stem he will see probably from
eight to ten birds, because they feed together. Often on
email tree will contain a dozen of them. When the 6rs(
faint snips come to him he slops in his tracks and listens, eD.
deavoring to fix how far the partridges ere from him and
upon which side of the gorge. Having settled their location
definitely in bis mind, he walks careles ly forward, crunch
ing heavily in the snow, emitting a cough now and then and
otherwise being as noisy as possi le, without becoming
alarming Advancing Bevecty-five yards, he sees the bird
perched in an ironwood tree upon the right-hand side of the
gorge, perhaps fifiy feet up its side, bringing them between
him and the sky. They have slopped feeding and are loot-
ing uneasily about. The object of his incautious approach
is to cause them to stir in the branches, or to cluck, thus as.
sisting him in placing them Having discovered them, he
slips behind a tree and waits a little while for them to resume
feeding. It is Mb otject to get more than one of them; 60
he does not walk boldly toward them and cause them to
crooch. They Btart eating sgain in a minute or two, and
then he makes a rapid advance, darting frcm trurk to trunk.
When he has arrived within forty or fifty yards he bringR
his rifle into play. As the light in the gorge is not of the
beBt, he makes no attempt at fancy 6bootirg, but centers hie
targets as well as he may. He begins upon the loweBt bird
in view, as its fall ie not apt to disturb those above it. If he
has been fortunate enough to Belect the bottom bird and it
goes instantly dead from the limb, the others will be startled
by the sharp snap of the epkeful little weapon, but they will
not take flight. They stand as erect as possible, holding
their wings close pressed against their sides, craning their
necks in every direction, looking for the mysterous disturber
and emitting a volley of clucks, but not ready for flight until
they know what the trouble is. The hunter throws down hi8
ejector, closes it, draws a bead, aod tumbles the next lowest
bird. This time the sitting grouse are thrown into a fever of
excitement. It is the hunter's duty then to shoot aB radidly
as possible. He may get in two more Bhots, but most fre-
quently at the third discharge the rovey rises with a tre-
mendous roar from the shaking branches and speeds away up
the hillside over the tops of the low trees, flying at the rate
of two miles in a minute. In a second or two they are out
of eight. The hunter picks up his brace or trio, and goes
home. He knows that he will get no more shooting in that
gorge, and, as the way is long and the climb toilsome to get
to another, he decides wisely to let well enough alone,
Moreover, by the time he could reach other shooting grounds
there would be no light.

A brace of partridges, however, will repay any one for the
trouble of killing them. They will make a meal for a half-
dozen healthy persons, and it is such a meal as the dwellers
in cities do not often see. The birds have not been kept for
three months in a refrigerator, cold, it is true, but filled with
bad air. They are plump. The fat lies upon the red flesh
underneath in layers. They are as tender as trout. The
wheat about the bases of the stacks standing in the lonely
white fields and the juicy buds of ironwood have given them
a beautiful flivor. Also there is appetite in the pursuit and
takiog of tbem. They may be broiled, of course, though
they are rather large for the gridiron. They may be made
into a pie, or there are even heathens heathenish enough to
fry them. A self-respecting humin, however, will take the
cock partridge of this year's bred, pick it carefully, singe
it, draw it aB he would a turkey, wash it in three warm
waters, stuff it with Graham bread crumbs and roasted
chestnuts, give it a liberal dusting of salt and red pepper,
and roast it to a nut brown, basting it often with mingled
bird juice and melted butter. He will then carve thin slices
of enow white from the breaBt that is goiden on the outside,
help himself liberally to the dressing, and see that his claret
is warmed to 101 degrees Fahr., no more and no leBS. 80
fed, with his pipeswiDging between his teeth, his chair tilted
against the log wall, and a red fire upleapiDg in the wide
chimney, it will make no difference at all to him that outside
the snow lies deep and ghoBtly for miles node the pale
moonlight, while the guide comes io, stamps his rubber-
booted feet upon the floor, and say?:

''It's goiog to be 18 below in th' mornin'." — Inter Ocean.

The Game Law.

The synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Bbeeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and .
various changes in the county game and fish laws, particu- J
larly those of recent date and of application in and around
the bay counties.

This synopsis has been frequently copied (in more or less^l
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior^
conrnals and has also been printed and distributed by buBi-.
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference]
be made to current numbers of the Brbeder and Spokts
man for the latest and most complete data coneerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the .Supreme.
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knepp on habeas corpus, appealed from tbej
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

Pacific Fox Terrier Olub.

The fox terrier men are taking a very active interest in
doggy mat'.ers just now and are making every effort to have
a better showing of their favorite breed at the comiDg bench
show in May than has ever been seen on the Coast.

The club held an enthusiastic meeting last Monday evening
at Wallace Moore's, No. 41 Sutter street. Among those
present were President N. H. Hickman, Messrs. Harley
D'Aquin, Hemmelrigbt, Martin, Moore and others. The
following new members were elecled: Thomas B. Williams,
Jr , J. K. Russell and W. F. Foster.

The club in response to a commuLication from the 8an
Francisco Kennel Club have expressed a preference for the
engagement of Mr. James Mortimer and Mr. George Raper
to act as judges at the local beoch exhibit in May.

The club wilt shortly issue a booklet in the interest of fox
terrier breeders and owners, containing much useful informa-
tion—the standard of the breed, rules and by-laws of the
club, etc., etc.

Particular attention will be paid this year to the selection
and offering of elegant prizes — silver goblets for all classes
and also many specials from individual members — to be
competed for at the bench show.

The club Produce Stake bids fair to be the largest stake
of its character ever brought out on the Pacific Coast.
Ffteen or more of the best fox terrier puppies that can be
put in will be seen in the race.

Bench Show Notes.

Doggy circles are on the qui vive and speculation is strong
as to the nomination of the judge or judges to preside in
the ring at the Pavilion in May. The choice is not confined
to a single individual by any means, several prominent East-
ern judges — and amoog them, one of the gentler sex, are
strongly advocated by club members and breeders and owners
among the fancy.

The Bench Show Committee have expressed a desire to
make a selection of judges that will meet with popular ap-
proval, realizing that much of the Buccees of their show will
be due to the favorab'e acceptance by exhibitors of the judge.

Dave Sinclair has been engaged as clerk of the show, he
haB had an experience for several yearB past in that capacity.
J. L. Langenderfer will act as superintendent.

The name of Powhattan has been accepted by the Ameri
can Kennel Club as the kennel name for Mr. H.G. Hemmel-
righl's kennels.

An offer of £600 has been refused for the crack youog
bulldog Rodney Stone, who has been a sensational winner
during the recent show season in London.

Armand De Conitieux's Eoglish setter bitch Verona Cash
(Ch. Count Gladstone IV. — Daisy Craft) has been shipped
to Farmingtoo, Mo , where she will be bred to Mr. H. B.
Ledbetter's Marie's Sport.

Mr. Phillip Meyer has a new St. Bernard dog to replace
the loss of Minstrel Boy. The newcomer is Alta Leo by
St. Leonard out of Alta Martha, and it about a year old. He
was bred by Mrs. t.ee of Toledo.

One of the latest whims the owners of pet dogs are in-
dulging is to cause the luckless canines to wear shoes in the
bouse, this for the purpose of protecting polished floors.
The shoes are made of chamois with leather soles.

N. H Hickman haB just received the handsome and
sprightly youog fox terrier bitch Elmwood Vassar (Eclipse
Tartar — Eclipse Blanche) from William Coinew of Belle-
ville, Ont. The newcomer is said to be a stylish looker. She
is white, with pretty black side markiogs.

Frank Hofleng, of Haywards, lost his well known English
Belter Sport last week. The poor dog, wbo was as well
broken and intelligent a field dog as a sportsman could wish
for, was in the last stages of consumption and was mercifully
put out of the way. Sport was brought here by Fanny
Davenport, he had been given to her by a friend in Salt Lake.
She thought a great deal of the dog and to insure bim a good
home and proper care presented bim to Mr. Frank Marcus,
she being on the road most of the time and finding it exceed-
ingly inconvenient to have the dog with her. Marcus after-
wards turned Sport over to Hcfleng.

Bull Terriers.

In the annual retrospect of breeds published in the English
Kennel Gazette for January, Mr. W. J. Pegg writes con-
cerning bull terriers and the ear question as follows:

"The progress of bull terriers during the year 1899,1
regret to Bay, has been Blow. Still, notwithstanding this, I
am convinced the breed has now passed the lowest ebb, and
I feel satisfied is now on the rebound. There is no doubt the
cropping question was a serious drawback to all -advance"
ment for the time, more so than would have been the go
with many breeds, as the dog depended in a great measure
on the smart appearance given him by a really good crop.
Most of them did noL naturally possess an ear pleasing to the
eye of the keen critic, but this was only ol secondary im*
portance then, as it could be rectified by a skillful operation
Now, however, breeders must turn their attention to produc.
ing an ear that is at once neat and well carried, and that will
not detract from that Emartness for which this particular
breed has always been noted. Still I do not wish to be mis-
understood; 1 am not cne who would breed solely for this
one feature, to the detriment of other qualities. Fanciers
must keep this well in mind, as the main or ject is to get the
bull ttrrier of the future as smart looking in every way bb to
head appearance, while the short compact bodies, good tail
carriage and true frontal properties, will compare favorably
with any that ?.e have formerly possessed.

In reviewing the breed for the past year, as represented on
the show bench, I think it will be only necessary to comment
on three of the principal shows, as at these all of any note
were present.

Taking them in order of date we start with Cruft's. Here
we had The Viscount heading the clasBes and carrying off
the championship. In my opinion he was truly fortunate;
still I find, on referring to the various show reports, that thi8
was his sole record, as, though nis name appeared in other
shows, he was never egain selected for premier honors.
Second, Wild Turk, a fair all round dog, but I considered
him handicapped by his butteifiy nose; Lord de Winter, a
good-bodied dog with good tail carriage, though weak in face
was placed third. In the Limit, the two firsts were repeats,
Bloom6bury Baron, a rare good one, taking third place. To
my mind this dog waB very badly treated, as I consider, in
this company, he should nave taken the lead. He possesses
what few in the show could boast of, viz : really good bull
terrier expression; also, he has splendid bone for his size,
and 1b a smart all round dog. In bitches, Lady Londonderry
was equally lucky in carrying off the championship, as
Shifty Sarah, who was looking her best, was in all points her
equal, if net more. Another good bitch who took second
place was Wild Lily. She has a nailing good head, good
bone and substance. It is a pity that she is not quite true in
front. Vitality made a good third, one that hasetcod time's
test well, and can e till hold her own. Dogs and bitches
under 301b. contained only five, of these Duchess of West-
minster, placed first, is a smart terrier, but too light Blooms,
bury Belle is a fair all round specimen. In Novices, firs',
and third were repeats. Branksome Belle, second, is a fine
big, raking bilcb, with plenty of substance.

I will touch but lightly on the next show, that of the Ken-
npl Club, held at the CryBtal Pslace. My report as judge
having bo recently appeared in the Kennel Gazette for No.
vember, it will be familiar to most of your readers. The
principal winners were Bloomsbury Baron, Wild Lily
Bluomsbury Belle and Barnes Victor. Of theBe, two I have
already treated with, and the others I will do so later on.

The next and last show of importance was that held at
Eirl's Court, viz , the West-end Winter Dog Show. Here
the principal winners were Shifty Barah, Wild Lily, Vitality
and Birncs Victor, all of p. horn I have commented on,
M&z-hill Surprise is a new face to me; she is an exceedingly
Email locking one, but too light in substance all over; I
should much like to have placed her higher up, aB she is
very tukicg, but she had to meet specimens more massive in
bone and general sub6tar.ee. Clapham Lad 7, firBt in Novices
was also a new onf ; che Iris a rare good body, with a g and
Bhorl tail well set on, end carried straight out. She fails in
head, however, which in too short, and she might be better
in shoulders. Dogs not f r competition numbered four, one
of which was an exceedingly smart, all round dog, full 0
che acter; he was an unciOpped one named Kingdom Wilt/
It was a pity he could not compete, as there are few. if any
7f\ -i have been brought out during the year that could favor-
s'* 7 compete with him. The remaining three were Blooms'

bury King, Bloomsbury Old Style and another not named;
of these, two, if not three, were cropped specimens. I must
confess BloomBbury King was rather disappointing, as from
the recent glowing report in the Stockkeeper, when he
appeared on the frontispiece, I certainly expected to see a
marvelous dog. His body properties I am unable to speak
about, not having seen him off the bench; but his head
leaves much to be desired, his bone is certainly hound-like,
but he has also a very hound-like expression, which I have
often noticed in dogs measuring 13in. round the muzzle; he
is dish-faced and very lippy. I much prefer Bloomsbury
Old Style's type of head (but his front is not correct). We
want a bull terrier with a down face, and not the upward
tendency.

In conclusion, I would like to thank all those fanciers who
are using their efforts for the good of the breed, and I truBt
that during the coming year they may be crowned with
success,

I must confess that I like men of the stamp of Mr. Wm.
Ireland, whose letters I read with interest in the various
doggy papers a short time ago. I feel sure if a few more
like him would use their energies for the benefit of the breed
in the same way, we should not hear bo many complain that
the bull terrier has fallen from bis high estate, but in my
humble opinion be is still as ever the King of Terriers.

An Illustration in Breeding.

The selection of a dog with an unexceptionable pedigree
has been the first step taken by many an ambitious amateur —
and in this matter he has been ably seconded by the man who
sold the dog. Inbreeding also has been a subject concerning
which tyroB in the fancy have jumped to wise conclusions at
short notice and the more experienced fanciers have greater
or less conservative theories. The following from the pen
of James Watson in the American Kennel Gazette seems to
cover some points in breeding that are worthy of close
attention:

"The generally accepted conclusion (hat inbreeding nec-
essarily causes deterioration physically and mentally occasion-
ally receives some severe shocks. It is to be presumed that
this conclusion is restricted to the human family and ani-
mals kept more or le?s in confinement, because, under natural
conditions, there must be no end of inbreediDg. Here, how-
ever, we have the survival of the fittest, and the death of the
weaklings and diseased animals, so that the breeding ani-
mals are sound to a much greater degree than can be the
case under domestication, where tbey are reared through
sicknesses, which leare their effects, and are fed and kept
alive when, bv their own unaided efiorts, they would most
likely staive. In due course of time theBe animals breed,
and it is from the results of euch mating that failures eman-
ate and cause the outcry against inbreeding. Some years ago
"Punch" had an illustration showiog a landed proprietor
looking at a bull, grand in his proportions, and Boliloquiz
ing: 'Ah, my fine fellow, I wish as much care had been
taken in the selection of my forefathers as in yours.'

WhenitcomeB to breeding for show purposes, in which
type is the consideration, it is essential to fix the type in
one's own kennel, otherwise the result will be a medley. I
remember, a good many years ago, hearing a pointer breeder
say cf one of his bitches that she was by Champion A, and
her dam bv Champion B, and that in the next generation
there were Champions C, D and E, anJ now he was going to
breed her to Champion F, and she ought to have some great
puppies. In opposition to him I had, not many years be-
fore, got my ideas from an authority on Irish terrier breed-
ing, Mr. William Graham, of Belfast, who laid down his
plan as follows: ''You should know sire and dam, and their
sires and damp; know all their faults and all their good
points. You must go on picking them out yourself, dropping
the ones with any return of the bad points and keeping to
the right kind, and in a generation or two yoa will be able
to tell just about what you may expect to get in a litter.1'
The pointer man referred to dropped out of the fancy with
his various champions, while "Billy" Graham has gone on
from the days of Er n to those of Breda Muddler, with a
continued sequence of successes which overthrow all the
theories and conclusions regarding the evil effects of in-
breeding.

The text upon which these remarks is predicated is a pedi-
gree I have just completed for Mr. O. W. Conner, who
wished to get Milton Muddler's lines carried back to the
Alpha of Irish terrier breeding. Milton Muddler is by
Breda Muddler out of Milton Droleen, the "American Erin,''
and it is doubtful whether any breed of dogs cen be demon-
strated as owing their improvement to inbreeding in a greater
degree than the case of the Irish terriers, for it has all hap-
pened within twenty years. If there is one breed outside of
Irish terriers that ranks with them in present-day excellence
as compared w;th what was the ense in 1880, it is our Cocker
Spanielr, and if any one traCes their pedigree back it will
be fonnd that the imported Oboe, particularly Oho II , is
where almost all lices end.

According to all theories upon the subject of inbreeding,
Breda Muddler should have been a wreck physically and
mentally and totally incapable of procreating his species,
in place of which we not only find him a champion, but one
of the greatest stud dogs that has ever appeared among Irish
terriers. I have counted the names of the different dogs
and bitches which figure in the pedigree of Breda Muddler

and find there are eighty-five, and they are repeated as fol-
lows: Bellft (Charley's), 2. Belle (Despard's), 8 Bene-
dict, 4. Biddy III., 5. Bogie Rattler, 5. Broomhill Jess,
6 Buffer (Mcllhaney'a), 8. Captain, 6. Cora, 5. Erin,
26. Fan, 32 Flora, dam of Erin, 26. Fury, 5. Garry-
ford, 4 Garryoweo, 5. Gripper, 5. Gyp (Eden'e), 8. Gyp
(McKinley'e), 4. Jerne, 2. Jack (Morrison'*), 4. Jack,
sire of Cora, 6. Jack, 6ire of Killiney Boy, 20 Jack, sire
of Waring's JeBS, 2. Jaque, 6. Jess (Dempsey's), 8 Jess
(Ecliss'), 8. Jess (Waring's), 2. Jees, dam of Killiney
Boy, 20. Jess, dam of Prince, 26. Jim, 32. Judy (Gra-
ham's), 4. Judy (Jamison's), 4. Kate, dam of Cora, 5.
Killiney Boy, 20. Midge, 14. Molly, 19. New Light, 4.
Norab, 5. Paddy, 12. Paddy II., 12 Playboy, 7. Prince,
26. Sailor, 8. Sport, 24. Sporter, 3 Tommy, 26. Toryi
8. Towser, 4.

That only elucidates the pedigree in part and it is more
clearly set forth if we take terminals Buch as Erin (Prince,
Flora, Tommy and Jess all owing their appearance in the
pedigree as her ancestors), Killiney Boy, Paddy, Sport and
his brother Tory, Molly and Gyp, we Sod the result to be as
follows: There are 148 of what I have called terminals,
foundation stock might please some people better, and now
we find aB a result this table: Sport and his brother Tory»
32. Erin, 26. Killiiney Boy, 20. Paddy, 12. Molly, 19.
Jaque, 5, Captain, 6, Sporter, 3, Gaelic, 2 New Light, 4.

TheBe "terminals" are in fact lees than 148, for Jaque and
Captain appear as pedigreeless dogs only in the pedigree of
Fury and her sister Norah, but as Tory comes in further
back it hardly seemed proper to have a "terminal" in the
pedigree of a terminal. Taking this as the idea upon which
to work, the result is as follows : Erin, 26 crosses. Killiney
Boy, 20 crosses. Sport (also in Cora), 19 crosses. Molly,
ly crosses. Paddv, 12 crosses. Cora, 5 crosses. Fury, 5
crosses New Light- 4 crosses. Belle (also in Fury), 3
croBseB. Sporter, 3 crosses. Gaelic, Bon of Sport (?), 2 crosses.

To illustrate how interwoven these strains are the pedigree
of The Irish Ambassador is given as being an example of the
whole- (A. K. C. Gazette, January, 1900). What can
anti-inbreeders say to such a pedigree ? The Irish Ambas-
sador is still alive and "uncommonly fresh for his years,"
Mr. Brodie writes me. Benedict, the sire of Nettie, The
Ambassador's dam, appears twice in the pedigree of Breda
Vixen, with whom The Irish Ambassador was mated, and
the produce was Breda Mixer, the dog selected by the Irish
Terrier Club for engraving on the challenge cup as the re-
presentative dog of the breed. Then Mixer was mated to
Iris (Breda Iris), who was by Bacheloi, brother to Benedict
out of Breda Florence, who was by Breda Rattler, by Bene-
dict. So we find that not only do the "terminals" run in
one groove, but their blood comes mainly through one source,
Benedict and his brother, making it not only of i.iterbreed-
iog by running back through various lines to some common
sources, but close up inbreeding.

But Breda Muddler could never have been the dog he is i^
those who bred his ancestors had not seen to it that there
was selection of good and sound dogs, animals that could be
relied upon to perpetuate their best points because of being
bred to type and without constitutional or other defects. It
is here that the breeder acts the part of nature in practically
killing off thoBe animalB that, if they had grown up wild,
would have died, and it is at this point that mere pedigree
breeders, students of the stud book, go wrong and bring dis
repute upon the greatest necessity in breeding dogs intended
for exhibition. The stud book contains nothing as to dog's
faults of conformation or constitution, and breeding to a dog
merely because he is suited by pedigree for inbreeding is as
erroneous as the idea of improving a breed by getting aB
many different champions in a pedigree as possible.

So far reference has only been made to the pedigree of
Breda Muddler, and, although Milton Droleen, the dam of
Milton Muddler, is also much inbred, it is not to such an ex-
tent as is the case with Breda Muddler. On her side we
have Merle Grady, quite an outcross, aB Irish terriers go, but
we also have The Irish Ambassador again through her dam
Banly Norah, better known as Blue Blood. With the kind
assistance of some of the old friends I was associated with
when the Irish Terrier Club across the water was started, I
have succeeded in carrying on many of the lines of the pedi-
gree which have been given up as unknown, particularly in
the case of Merle Grady. The only unsatisfactory blank is
the "unknown sire" of Bellman in Merle Grady's pedigree,
and as the one person who might have been able to say some-
thing in elucidation of this point is at present at the war in
South Africa the quest had to be abandoned.

Milton Muddler is a dog whose breeding is of the best, and
individually he has the qualifications which should make
him a great sire. His size is larger than is required in a
show dog, but Mr. Boyle's remarks on the size of the best
fox terrier sires in England are equally applicable to Irish
terriers. The sound dogs grow, the weaklings cannot, and
the sound ones are the proper kind for sires."

Regarding the controversy anent alfalfa
at, George Wilson says: "I lambed eight
ndred ewes lasi spring oo pasture and
ile the losses were ten per cent, the greater
t was through lack >f care io handling and
idable. Therefore we decide that it is not
irious matter and the greater increase cf
ibs saved fully justified the expense and
mid for the loss as well. With all our
•ied experience with alfalfa I was most
prised and disappointed at the result in
idition of ewe9as well as lambB. We kept
m in pasture until August 1st and while
i feed wae abundant the animals were in
jr flesh and the lambs not fat enough to
rket any time up to that date. While they
iwed good growth of bone and frame they
uld not round out in flesh as I had ex-
ited. Of course the ewes gave great abund-
;e of milk which was against the making
fhsh. They were pocr — not even in fair
edition, while apparently in good health
lerwise. They were principally old range
es and had plenty of salt and water at all
ies. This reminds me of some of the
ries we hear about running sheep on alfalfa
thout water. We shut off the water for a
r daye and found them failing so fast we
ocluded it a failure without argument for
another week they would have been so
in tbey would not have been able to either
ink or eat." — Denver Field and Farm.

ELECTIONEER-NUTWOOD.

In Neemut's Veins Flows the Blood of the
Two Greatest Sires.

i f Albert W. 2:20.

The Champion of all speed producing trotting bred
stallions the world has ever seen is Electioneer 125, son
of Hambletonian 10 and Green Mountain Maid one of
the greatest of broodmares His list of 2 :30 performers
numbers 158. .Second in the list of sires and heir ap-
parent to the crown is Nutwood 680, son of Belmont 64
and Miss Russell, probably the greatest broodmare that
ever lived. His list of 2:30 performers numbers 156-
Surely Electioneer and Nutwood are mighty names to
conjure within breeding the American trotter that shall
eventually have two minute speed, for until that rate of
speed shall have been attained the Ultima Thule of
trotting horse breeding will not be reached The hand-
some stallion pictured on this page is the result of mat-
ing two high class representa-
tives of these great families.
Having himself earned a race
record of 2:12%, shown two
minute speed, and having the
firBt of his get and the only one
trained, a daughter, obtain a
four year old record of 2:11^,
it is not beyond the range of
reason to predict that mated
with the proper mares Neernut
will be one of the greatest of
the descendants of the two
royal houses from which he
comes.

Electioneer in the first and
second generations has the
wonderful total of 958 standard
performers Nutwood has 866
in the first and second removes.

The greatest young trotter
that ever lived, Arion 2:07%,
whose two year old record of
2:10% will stand for years, was
the result of mating Election-
eer with a daughter of Nut-
wood Over 100 sons of Elec-
tioneer are successful sires of
speed and the same honor rests

on over 100 sons of Nutwood. The daughters of Elec-
tioneer that have produced fast race horse are nearly as
numerous as his sons, while Nutwood's daughters head
the list as producers of speed The blood of Electioneer
is in the veins of The Abbot 2:06%, Bingen 2 :06%,
Tommy Britton 2 :08 and others of the fleetest trotters
of 1899, and that of Nutwood courses through the
arteries of those great performers of last year, Fred
Kohl 2:07%, Eyelet 2 :06% Manager 2:06% and many
more in the 2:10 list. Each family is great in itself yet
each has ach eved greatness through the other's aid.

The sire of Neernut 2.12%. is Albert W 2:20 one of
Electioneer^ best bred sonB. Had h sired nothing but
little Albert 2:10 whose wonderful gameness and race
horse qualities aroused the admiration of horsemen
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, his fame as a sire would
have been made but he has sired a score of standard
performers beside and severt.1 of his sons are sires of
speed. Albert W.'e dam, Sister, is in the list of Great
Brood Mares as is also his second dam.

The dam of Neernut is Clytie 2d by Nutwood. She
has produced a son that has a record of 2:12%, who in
turn has sired a daughter with a four year old record of
2:11J^. Her dam Clytie was by Whipple's Hamble-
tonian one of whose daughters is the dam of the cham-
pion gelding of the world Azote 2 -.01%. The next dam
the Belmont mare was one of the famous long distance
trotters of early days in California and was a daughter
of Williamson's Belmont, the famous thoroughbred

record of 2: 27 .y and sired the dam of the champion of

Could all the tandard performers descended from the
sires and dams appearing in the first four crosses in
Neemut's pedigree be given, their names would fill a
dozen pages of this journal and number several thousand
while all the champions of the trotting turf would be
included.

Neernut 2:12%, was foaled it: 1891 and consequently
is but nine years of age. As can readily be seen by the
photo engraving on this page he is a grand individual.
He stands 15% hands is blood bay with black points,
weighs 1100 pounds and trots without boots weights or
hopples. He is a strong finisher, the last quarters the
best of his miles, and his record mile of 2:12% was pro-
nounced by competent observers to be as good as 2:08,
he starting behind trotting around the first turn in
fourth position and going the entire mile well out from
the pole on account of the footing. His individuality,

breeding and speed guarantee his success as a sire His
oldest colts are now coming five years old, and they all
show speed, his daughter Neeretta taking a record of
2 :16% at three years old at Santa Rosa five months
after broken to harness. Last season she started six
times, winning five first moneys and one second getting
a record at Los Angeles of 2 :11%. which is the world's
record for four year old fillies for 1899. She was timed
separately in one race in 2:09%. She is the only one of
his colts ever started in a race, but there will be several
starters of Neemut's get this coming season.

Neernut was bred by C. S. Sargent of Stockton, Cal-
Mr Geo. W Ford of Santa Ana, his present owner, pur-
chased him at auction when a yearling, paying some-
thing over $600 for him. Neemut's first start was at
Santa Ana October 9, 1S94, when he won a three year
old stake, beating Daisywood by Silkwood and Kitty
Mc by McKinney, and getting a record of 2:27% in the
second heat Daisywood won the first heat in 2 :27,
with Neernut second, but he
captured the next three easily
enough At Los Angeles a
week later Galette 2 :12% beat
him in straight heats. Those
were his only starts as a three
year old The next year he
started three times, winning
several heats and a second, a
thiid and a fourth money,
meeting such crackerjacks as
Zombro 2:11, Eva T., 2:18%
and other high class horses,
and closing the season with a
four year old record of 2:21.
In 1896, he had to meet in the
2:20 class a lot of high class
horses like Mamie Griffin
2:12'.,, Clay S. 2:13%, Stam-
boulette 2:10% and others, but
was generally inside the money
and at the end of the season,
after six starts, had lowered
his mark a quarter of a second.
The following year he was
again campaigned on the Cali-
fornia circuit, starting six
times, winning three races, and
defeating such horses as Osito
2 :14%, Margaret Worth 2:15, Our Jack 2:13%, Iran
Alto2:12'.1 and others. That year he reduced his rec.
ord to 2:12% in a six heat race at Los Angeles, which
was one of the most closely contested and hardest
fought races of the circuit.

Neernut is grandly bred, has proven himself a race
horse, the only one of his get ever trained was the
champion of her year, and when it is also taken into
consideration that he is a magnificent individual and a
sure foal getter, the fact that his fee is but $40 for the
season should fill his book for 1900 with a list of high
class mares He will make the season at the home of
his owner, Mr. Geo \V . Ford, of Santa Ana.

Among the mares that have been bred to him in -the
past are very few that could be termed high class and
none that have produced standard speed to any other
horse. There are several of his three and four year olds,
however that w 11 certainly enter the list this year if
raced and as a number of them are in training and will
be entered on the California circuit this year it can he
predicted with certainty that his list of perform*
make a very respectable eh wing by the
year and will continue to grow as his sen i.
great demand as his splendid -jiinlitic" arc I

Why Vanderbilt Sold Maud S.

One of the richest men in the world, so j ealous of his horse
that he sold her, and a senator of the United States as the
historian of the case, make up one of the most interesting
annals of the turf. The horse was Maud S.; the millionaire,
William H. Yanderbill; the senator, the Hon. George 8.
Boutwell, of Massachusetts. In McClure's Magazine for
January, Senator Boutwell says:

In the month of November, and after the election, I had
occasion to pass a Sunday in New York. It happened, and
by accident, that I met Mr. Conkliog on Fifth avenue.
After the formalities he invited me to call with him upon
Mr. William K. Vanderbilt.

One time in the conversation Mr. Conkling said: "Mrt
Vanderbilt, why did you sell Maud S.?''

Mr. Vanderbilt proceeded to give reasons. He had re-
ceived letters from straogers inquiring about her pedigree,
care, age, treatment, etc., which he could not answer without
more labor than he was willing to perform.

As a final reason, he said:

"When I drive up Broadway people do cot say, 'There
goes Vanderbilt,' but they say, There goes Maud S.' "

So the man whose famous saying has passed into history,

"The public be " showed that he nevertheless heeded

the attitude of the public and disposed of the famous mare
to Kobert Bonner, simply because the public, which he pro-
fessed to disregard, paid more attention to the horse than to
her owner.

The secret of the sale, which set the turf world by the
ears, is now known. William H. Vanderbilt sold Maud 8.
because he was jealous of her. No better authority could be
asked than that of the honored ex-senator of Massachusetts;
Secretary of the Treasury under President Grant; leading
counsel for the prosecution in the impeachment of Andrew
Jackson, and the oldest living governor of the Bay State.
Everyone knowB that Mr. Vanderbilt sold Maud S. to Robert
Bonner in 1834, for $40,000.

Frederick Bonner, Robert Bonner's son, gives this version
of the sale:

"The matter was broached to my father by William Turn'
bull, the Wall street broker, who was au intimate friend of
both Mr. Vanderbilt and my father : "Bonner, do you want
to bay the fastest horse in the world ?' He then explained
that Mr. Vanderbilt had authorized him to make a proposi"
tion. Later Mr. Vanderbilt and my father came together.

" 'I want to sell Maud 8.,' said Vanderbilt, 'and you're the
one man in the world 1 want to sell her to. I'm offered
$100,000 by a Cincinnati syndicate of racing men. I won't
sell her to them at any price. She would be campaigned,
and the public would say that I still had an interest in her.
You won't lace her, and I know you won't allow any gam-
bling with her. I wan't you to have her.'

"The mare was in Saratoga. My father sent me there to
look her over. It was rumored that her legs were bad. I
found her perfectly sound.

"Her price was then discussed. My father suggested
$35,000.

" 'No said Vanderbilt, *yoa gave $33,000 for Rarup, you
gave $35,000 for Dexter, and yon gave $38,000 for Pocahon-
tas. I have a pride in this; I want you to give more than
$38,0(0 for Maud 8.'

" 'I'll give $40,000," said my father, and the deal was
closed."

The stable boys who were present when her old owner
patted Maud S. for the last time say that the affectionate
animal whinnied as if she knew a change had taken place.
When her master walked away his lips were quivering; and
her head was lowered.

"Maud 8. was Robert Bonner's pet. When the great
horseman died last July he gave her over with tender words
to the keeping of his sons, Robert and Frederick E. Bonner_

Robert Bonner was not jaalous of Maud 8.

Nestling on a grassy plateau in the beautiful Westchester
Hills of New York lies the present home of the empress
dowager of the trottiog empire. She will be 26 years old on
the 28th day of March, bat she acts like a colt of 12. She
does not look a day older.

Her marvellous vitality indicates how and why she at-
tracted attention sixteen years ago, when Vanderbilt owned
her. There was plenty of reason for people to say, "There
goes Maud 8."

She was the fastest trotting horse that had ever appeared
in the history of the world. The peerless daughter of the
great Harold and that patriarch of blue blooded dams, Mies
Russell, was the queen of the trotting turf. Her name wa9
mentioned with acclaim in the four quarters of the earth.
The fame of her matchless performances was greater than
lhat of all the Vanderbilt millions. Her name, better known
than that of a host of reigning monarchs, overshadowed even
the great name of her owner.

The distinction was invidious. They parted. Vanderbilt
and his millions have passed. Maud 8. is etill admired.

For more than twelve years Vanderbilt has slept with his
fathers.

And Maud 8.? How many know her career since that
lay in 1885, when, at Cleveland, on an oval track, in the
• Id-fashioned high-wheeled sulky, her firing feet reeled off
hat wonderful mile in 2:08} — a performance that, all things
■ i'iered, has never been equaled since then — her last
I iblic appearance?

Time has touched gently the only horse that ever caused
jealousy to rankle in the breast of a man worth $180,000,000.
She has outlived both Vanderbilt and Bonner — the man who
sold her and the man who bought her in 1S84.

But though the money king was j ealous of Maud S., wit"
ness the love he bore her. He would allow no commercial
discord to jangle in the sale of the chestnut beauty, that has
always been as lovable as she was great. If the clink of coin
was heard, it was only to emphasize the fact that she was
the greatest horse in the world. Affection and pathos and
pride in her glorified all the negotiations. Jealousy and love
go hand in hand.

A Phase of trie Problem.

'How to Treat a Man.'

[Chicago norse Be view.]

Uader the caption, "Changes in Rank of Trotting Fami-
lies," ''Iconoclast" recently contributed an ably written ard
thought-provoking paper to the Horse Breeder, in which he
inquires into a peculiar phase of the breeding problem in a
most interesting way. Why, he asks, have a certain few
trottirjg families, in the male line, virtually obliterated all
the rest, when, at the beginning, there was little inequality
between them, and especially when it is conceded that the
displaced families were of absolute and high merit 7 The
decadence of the latter he fiads as curiously inexplicable as
the ascendancy of the former and one which the mere shib-
boleth of the "survival of the fittest" fails to account for.
The best solution thai he can advance is that, "with req
differences not bo great, a slight superiority counts for a great,
deal," or else, that some strongly marked hereditary tendency
at first almost unnoticed, becomes so Btrongly developed in
succeeding generations as to cause undesirability and un-
popularity.

It is 'Iconoclast's" conclusion that to-day we have virtually
nothing left but the Wilkes and Electioneer tribe?; that all
the other once-great sub-families now -exist principally as
"feeders," through broodmare channels, to them — and while
this may tread on some few corns, we must affirm that its
verity seems well nigh undeniable. As Judge Halsey Bays;
"One of the first and most certain indications that the family
of a particular horse is ceasing to be a dominant family is
that he is becoming more and more exclusively a broodmare
sire. When this is the case he has already ceased to be
fashionable on the male side. Very many owners of stallion8
have been reluctantly convinced of this fact. There is
nothing which a horse owner admits with greater regret."

How true this is sober thought assures us. One by one the
old branches are dying out. Volunteer, in tail-male, is
practically extinct. The glory of the Happy Mediums seems
to have died with Pilot Medium. Robert McGregor is dead
and has left no son to wear his mantle. Altamont still up-
holds the traditions of the house of Almont, but his race is
nearly ruo, and when he goes Atlantic King will have to
step into the breach alone. We have several promising sons
of Nutwood, of which much may be expected, but of none of
them may it be confidently asserted that be will even approx-
imate his progenitor's monumental fame. Stamboul still
preserves the Clay line; Sidney , Steinway, Charles Derby
and Diablo that of titrathmore; Delmarch that of Edward
Everett; Direct and Directum that of Dictator; Elyria —
though his environment counts strongly against him — and
Heir at-Law may renew the success of Mambrino King, who
alone preserved the male line from Mambrino Patchen;
Patron, Prodigal and Potential seem all we now have to up-
hold the renown of Woodford Mambrino — and bo the list
might.be extended, with only a scattering few left as support*
ers of these once lordly houses, while the young Wilkeses
and Electioneers keep rising in legion on every hand. Shall
we explain this through radical defects on the one score or
excess of actual quality on the other? But the former could
never be true — for the actual merits of the AlmontB, Bel-
monts, McGregors, Mediums, Directors, etc., were of sucn
sterling value that their demerits were proportionately in-
considerable. Nor are the Wilkeses and Electioneers be-
yond criticism. Each family has its own weaknesses. But
it would Beem that in proportion their strength has exceeded
that of their one-time rivals. Some subtle quality in their
blood, defiant of analysis or of absolute determination, has
Berved to establish them upon the highest pinnacle of achieve-
ment, apparently for good and all.

Let this, then, be gramed a "solid and impregnable truth"
— but in the doiog so let it not at the same time be forgotten
that it is any more possible to get along- in the scientific
evolution of breeding without the great collateral or brood-
mare line* than the dominating male families. To the per-
fect fabric both warp and woof are a necessity. If it has
been ordained that the Wilkeses and Electioneers are to
swallow up all their rivals for direct male perpetuity, "like
Aaron's serpent,'' observes "Iconoclast," it is also not less
certain that the breed can never progress, or even continue
to exist, by their means alone. The bo called "minor fami-
lies" are as needful thereto as the tributary Btreams which,
by tbeir constant replenishment, swell into grandeur the
mighty volume of the Amazon. Their force, if not so great,
may be, in its own way, of nearly equal potence, and their
preservation a matter of supreme importance. Let us have
the Wilkeses and Electioneers by all means, and acknowledge
the pre-eminence which they have attained as the desert of
their own peculiar merits — but let us alto continue to culti-
vate the Nutwoods and McGregors and AlmontB and Clays
and SirathmoreB and Dictators and Mediums, and all the
rest, for in the harmony of evolution their presence is as in-
dispensable as that of all the varied instruments in an
orchestra, which cannot consist of soloists alone. "Changes
in rank" may continue to Uke place — but the "rank is but
the guinea stamp," after all.

NOTES BY A HCBSE.

"When a man drops from Bheer exhaustion or illness,
promptly Beize an endboard or a cart stake and pound him
on the head or on the ribs. If this does not recuperate him>
kick him violently. This treatment will restore him if per-
sistently administered.

" If a man finds a load too heavy for his strength, knock
him down and hammer him thoroughly with a club. This
will increase his power, and he will make no more fuss.
But do not < d any account decrease his load. That would
look too much like common sense or humanity, and he will
be likely to balk again when overloaded.

" Ply the whip frequectly on a man who is at work. No
matter if he is doing his be3t, hit him often, lest he take
some comfort. If his load is light oblige him to go faster
to make up for it. Work, starve him, abuse him enough
to reduce man's average life one-half, as is done with horses.

*' Fasten your man's head in a strained position, with his
eyes up to the sun. This will give him a fine appearance
and prevent stumbling. Of course, he will not be able to
do as much work in this fix, but it makes him wretched, and
it is also stylish.

11 Make your man mind or kill him, whether he under-
stands what you want or not. If he doesn't understand,
clubbing will improve his intellect. Don't manifest any
patience or sense, for that ruins your authority. The more
wretched you can make your man the better.

"If a man refuses to drink when yon offer him water,
don't give him any water for two days. That will 'teach
him' to be thirsty at any time you choose to water him. In
fact, he should learn to do without water.

'In winter remove his clothing to prevent his taking cold.
He will also dry quicker when you overdrive him. Hang a
blanket on his back with his neck and limbs exposed, same
as with clipped horses. Men thus treated are much
healthier.

"When yuur man is frightened do not speak to him, lest it
sooth and assure him, but saw his mouth violently and lash
him severely. Nothing allays fright or nervousness like
abuse.

"If it it not convenient to feed your man at noon let him
go hungry, and by active use of the whip secure as much
work as food would do. Of course this wears Mm out ft.s(>
bat men are cheap now and food costs money.

"Put tight shoes on your man and keep them there until
he is lame. This will make him thoroughly miserable, as it
does horses.

"When you hire a man get all you can out of him, and
don't be hampered bv humane sentiment. Nobility con-
sists not in wisdom or kindness, bat in manfully over-riding
the rights and feelings of all other beings. I am sure these
rales are correct, for I learned them when a colt from my
master, and sorely he knows what is right. And does not
man do as he would be done by?" — American Horse
Breeder.

[Portland Rural Spirit J

8am Casto has 17 horses in his string at Irvington track.
He should be able to get a pretty fair stable out of the lot.

I. C. Mosher is jogging eight head of two and three year
olds sired by Cceir d'Alene, out of which he will select his
young candidates for this year's campaign. He is also work-
ing his four year old Black Egypt that looks like a winner
this year.

F. M. Barrows will leave the fair grounds at Salem about
March 6th for Walla Walla with his stallion Del Norte 2:08,
where he will place him in the stud.

Unless some unexpected capitalist comes to the front very
soon Portland will be without a race meeting this season.

O. H. Holcomb shipped from G. M. Froome's stable,
Pendleton, Thursday evening, to Seattle 20 head of the finest
heavy draft horses ever collected in this county. The ani-
mals were bought by Messrs. Froome & Holcomb for use in
the lumber camps of Washington and for trucking in
Seattle. Prices paid ranged from $75 to $140, one span
bringing $280, and weighing 1700, or 3400 for the two.

The Multnomah Driving Aesociation held a meeting last
Saturday for the purpose of taking steps for a better drive-
way this year. A committee was appointed to ascertain
what could be done in opening up streets and widening the
speedway on Macadam road and report in two weeks. There
is talk of organizing this driving aesociation into a corporate
body so that funds can be raised and expended in a more
systematic and beneficial manner. Portland needs a drive-
way and the only way to get one and maintain it, is for the
road drivers to organize all tbeir forces in one body for that
purpose.

Hester, the Scarlet Letter mare that J. W. Tilden bought
here in Oregon from C. B. Williams for $125, sold at the
Splan-NewgaBS Bale fcr $280. This sizes np the horse mar-
ket in Oregon pretty clearly.

T. B. Gunn, Secretary of the Washington 8tate Fair,
writes us that they will hang up a nice speed program this
year at their State Fair. Sufficient funds have been raised
to guarantee the payment of purses and premiums.

HARNESS HORSES AT OHICO.

The Celebrated Track Where Goldsmith Maid
Trotted in 1877.

There is do more prosperous or more promising looking
section of Oaliforjia than Butte county at this writing. The
editor of this journal paid Chico a visit last week and speaks
from observation. The pasture lands are green with luxuri-
ant grass and dotted with fat cattle and horses. The summer
fallowed and winter sown grain can almost be seen to grow
while one looks, and ''barring accidents," will make tre-
mendous crops. The orchards in full bloom are perfectly
gorgeous in pink and white and as many are from 40 to 160
acres in extent, the air is heavy with the perfume of almondi
peach and apricot buds.

The writer was fortunate in receiving an invitation from
that well known trainer and excellent reinsman James
Sullivan to take a seat in a light buggy drawn by Fitz Lee
2:13J and take a look at the country. The farm of L. H.

2:12} and many other fast ones. Arthur Wilkes is sixteen
years old but does not look to be half of it. Mr. Mcintosh
will breed him to about 25 outside mares this year, the most
of which are already booked. A fall brother to Welcome
2:10} was led out. He is one of the handsomest and best
proportioned horses in Califorcia and would be very fast if
trained. He is a four year old and is yet unnamed. A sister
to Fitz Lee was also shown and is worthy of her distin-
guished relationship, and a sister to Welcome is a natural
pacer and fast though never trained. Mr. Mcintosh has
about 75 head of well bred roadsters and about the same
number of extra fine mules which are for sale.

A ride through the beautiful Rancho Chico, the property
of General John Bidwell, was greatly enjoyed and then we
were 6hown the Normal School where three or foar hun-
dred Btudents are preparing themselves for teachers, the
lumber yards where millions of feet of lumber are piled,
brought direct from the Sierra Nevada mountains in a mam-
moth flume, and the Sperry Flour Mill, just risen in massive
proportions of fire-proof brick, after a costly fire that
destroyed the old one.

The race track was, of course, the most interesting sight
to us, where an old mo39 grown sign on the judges' and
timers' stand reads as follows :

c. M. POWZLL

Has four or five grenn horses which he is getting ready for
the circuit, some good prospects among them. He has a five
year old by Arthur Wilkes 2:28}, out of Gazalle by Buccaneer,
grandam of Kelly Briggs 2:10 J, second dam the famous
broodmare Mary by Flaxtail that is showing winning speed.
Two full sisters, a two and three jear old by Arthur Wilkes«
out of a mare by Berlin, are also very promising.

S. V. MITCHELL

Is a recent arrival at the Chico track from Oregon. He
has a couple of fillies, one a two year old pacer by Altaire
out of Jenny Winston by Altamont, that is just broken, but
has a very nice way of going and shows considerable natural
speed. The other filly is by Kentucky Baron out of Minerva
by Signal Wilkes. She is a trotter and fast.

Quite a number of horsemen have signified their intention
of taking strings to Chico within the next month and as soon
as the track is in shape for fast work, which it will undoubt-
edly be within a very few days, there will be twice a many
horses there as now.

In that race the fam^u? old mare that beat Ram-, and the
track record stood until the Breeders meeting in Chico three
years ago when Galette and Z jmbro and Mamie Griffin and
Jasper Ayres and Selena all trotted faster and all except the
first named did the trick in the same race.

The track on the day we visited it was quite rough but the
rain that fell that night doubtless softened the clods that
were left from plowing it up and as work was to be com-
menced on it immediately, it is in good shape by this time.
Not many horses are working there as yet, but more are
coming and the prospects are that fifty or sixty will be get-
ting their lessons in speed before another month has passed.

bit sluggish.

Fitz Lee 2:13J, by Arthur Wilkes. Looks good and should
be a good horse in his class this year.

Polka Dot, brown filly by Waldstein, dam Maud Merrill
2:18 by Antevolo, is four years old and has shown speed
enough to warrant her being entered in the slow classes this
year. She was bred and is owaed by W. R. Merrill of
Colusa.

Another of Mr. Merrill's breeding is Boggs, a big five
year old bay gelding by Mendocino, sire of Idolita 2:12.
Bogg3 is sixteen hands high and must weigh over 1100
pounds and is a pacer. He gets over the ground very easily
however, and though he has not hf>d any actual training ha
shown speed enough for a very low record. He is as sound
as new coin and looks like a good one.

Another good looking five year old by Mendocino, or
Monaco, as the horse was formerly called, is Monte Carlo,
also a five year old as are all the colts sired by this horse, he
having been leased from the Palo Alto Farm daring the
season of 1894, by the late Senator Boggs, of Princeton, and
stood that year on his ranch. Monte Carlo's dam is by Til-
ton Almont. He is no giant like the pacer Boggs, but is rather
undersized and a trotter. He showed a great deal of speed
as a three year old and should be a winner this year in the
green classes.

Leta C. is the name bestowed upon a good looking three
year old fill v by McKinney out of Gladys B. 2:24}, by Mon-
roe Chief, next dam Bessie 2:29, by Keavie' Blackbird. With
that breeding she should be able to go as many heats as any
and be fighting for the front position at the finish.

Circuit of State Fairs.

Burllngame Olub Races.

Elsie Downs, sired by Boodle 2:12}, dam Linda Oak (dam
of Dr. Frasse 2:12*) by Guy Wilkes 2:15$, and Col. Carter,
sired by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, dam 8pry Ruth by Boodle
2:12}, are two two year olds at the San Jose race track, the
cause of much rivalry and bantering between the respective
trainers "Farmer" Bunch aud B. O. Van Bokkelen. A
match race will probably be the outcome later. Those who
have seen these colts trot predict that they will both get fast
records this year. Opinion is about equally divided as to
which is the speedier of the two.

Vioget 8tock Farm in Santa Clara county, is the owner of
a young stallion possessed of great speed and gameness and
whose breeding is a result of a most happy nick of two great
families. This is Wild Nutling whose speed and gameness
were shown in his first race. It was at Santa Rosa last year
and among the big field starting in the race were such good
ones as Daedalion 2:11, and Myrtba Whips 2:10}. The race
was drawn oat to six heats and was won by Wild Nulling
after pacing the fifth heat in 2:13, his present record. After
winning his first two races he went wrong and was not a well
horse during the rest of (he year, but had he been well his
owner would have sent him to Los Angeles and entered him
in the race with Joe Patchen,JohnR. Gentry and Anaconda
so confident was he that he could pace a mile fast enough to
finish close to those champions. It is stated that Wild
Nulling paced a trial in 2:07 at Sao Jose without being
driven to his utmost speed.

8acbamento, February 22 — This year for the first time
the 8ta(e agricultural societies of the Pacific Coast States
will endeavor to co-operate in the matter of State fairs.
This is the result of a paper which was prepared by Secre-
tary Shields of the California State Agricultural Society on
the advantages of a Pacific Coast circuit of State fairs and
read at a farmers' congress held at Salem, Or., February 17th.
Secretary 8hields urged that the societies of the Northern
States so arrange the date? of their fairs that they would
follow the California fair, in order that exhibitors from
Oregon and Washington might show here and also that the
California people might take part in the fairs of those States.
As a result the Oregon dates have been set from September
17th to 22d, and the Washington dates from September 24th
to 29th. The California dates are from September 2d to
15th. Secretary Wisdom of the Oregon society writes that
some of the choicest herds in Oregon will exhibit here.

Secretary Shields is making an effort to widen the scope of
the fair so that the patronage this year will draw from out-
side the immediate vicinity of Sacramento. He states that
the stock exhibit will be the finest ever held in this State.
Arrangements are being made with W. A' Smith of Whitney's
Point, N. Y., to bring here 400 or 500 fancy exhibition fowl,
comprising seventy-five or eighty varieties, and including
practically all the novelties in poultry breeding, besides all
the standard breedings.

The proposition to sell the Agricultural Park and secure
new quarters, which has been agitated for nearly five years,
and to authorize which the Legislature twice passed a bill,
has at last been given up. Practically no offers were received
for the park, although a special com nissioLer to sell the
property was appointed, and it was found if sold at all the
figure would have to be a very low one, while a correspond-
ingly high figure was asked for property which the society
wished to purchase. It has, therefore, been voted by the
society that no further effort at sale be made and that the
committee on sale be discharged.

The breeding of Wild Nutling as shown by the above tabula-
tion is probably unlike any other stallion in the American
Trotting Register. His Bire Wildnut, sire of El Ramie 2:14,
Jasper Paulsen 2:16£, the great three year old Mamie W.
2:17} and a half dozen others, is by Woodnut 2:16?, son of
Nutwood 600. Wildout's dam was Wildflower, who was
once the champion two year old with a record of 2:21, is now
in the great brood mare list and is by the great Electioneer.
His second dam of Mayflower 2:30}, another great brood-
mare by St. Clair.

Wild Nutling's dam is that good and fast race mare
Helena, who made a two year old record cf 2:29$, a three
year old record of 2:21 and retired to the breeding ranks with
a race record of 2:111. She is by Electioneer, and thus Wild
Nutling has two crosses of the blood of this great sire, one
on each side of his pedigree. The second dam of Wild
Nutling is Lady Ellen (a great broodmare, being the dam Of
four in the list) by Mambrino, a son of Mambrino Patchen.
The third dam of Wild Nutliog is Ida May Jr. by Owen
Dale, the next dam Ida May by Williamson's Eelmont, and
the next dam Mary by Red Buck, grandam of Susie 2:26},
Suisun 2:18* and Susette 2:23}. In the veins of Wild Nut-
ling 2:13 there is the greates; of trotting blood from Elec-
tioneer, Nutwood and Mambrino Patchen, and running blood
that produces trotting 6peed. He has seven great broodmares
in his pedigree within five generations and it is almost an
assured fact that he will be a great producer of speed.

As an individual he can hardly be surpassed. He ib a
rich seal brown in color with no markings and stands 15.3
and weighs 1200 pounds. His level head and excellent dis-
position are necessary in a sire while his iron constitution
and great muscular development are qualities always de-
manded in a high class Btock horse. Wild Nutling will
make the season of 1900 at the San Jose race track in charge
of the well known horseman H. H. Hellman, and his service
fee will be $50. Breeders of this State should secure Elec-
tioneer blood while they can and Wild Nutling carries a
goodly proportion of it.

Short Hauls on Northern Olrouits.

The series of district fairs which are to be held throughout
the Sacramento valley during the coming summer, eays the
Chico Enterprise, are attracting a great deal of attention
from the owners of fast horses, and the racing programs
promise to be the best filled for many years past. One
reason for this unusual interest is the manner in which the
dates and place of holding fairs has been arranged. It ie a
well known fact that owners are, as a rule, opposed to "long
hauls" on the railroad and, knowing this, the fair directors
have so arranged the program that there is not a single haul
that is fifty miles in length. In fact easier shipments could
not be arranged in any part of the State, as will be seen
by glancing at the following figures, which show how ship-
ments will be made and the distances from one town to
another:

Colusa to WilIowB,31 miles; Willow to Red Bluff 49 miles.
Red Bluff to Chico, 40 mile?; Chico to Marysville, 44 miles!
Marysville to Woodland, 43 miles.

This is the manner in which the circuit will be made and
the horse owners are greatly pleased with the arrangement

John A Skannkl, of Bligo, La., has booked 11 choicely
bred mares to Allerton 2:09}. In the lot are mares by
Baron Wilkes, Bow Bells, Stamboul, Jay Bird, Belmont,
Lord Russell and Aberdeen.

When sensational stallions are mentioned, those wbcse
names have been on the lips of horsemen from ocean to ocean,
Stamboul immediately occupies the mind. Bred by one of
the most successful horse breeders in America, sold for a
princely fortune to be lord over the greatest harem of brood-
mares ever collected in California or probably anywhere elsei
trotting mile after mile below 2:10 and then having his
record of 2:07 ^ refused by the Register Association and being
the central figure of one of the greatest turf scandals of
America, be was consigned by reason of the death of his
owner to the auction ring, together with the great collection
of mares and with them brought the laigesi price the seme
number of trotters from one farm had ever brought, his
price, in spite of the rejected record and other adverse cir-
cumstances being $41,000. Stamboul afterwards met the
handsomest stallions in America in the show ring and won
the blue ribbon over them all. Io the stud he has been a
wonderful success for his opportunities, having to this date
sired forty standard performers and every one of them a
trotter. Stamboul was sired by SultaD, who also sired Mosul
2:09}, Saladio 2:05£, Lord Saltan 2:10| and 46 more in the
standard list. 8altan was by The Moor, wbo sired Beautiful
Bells, destined to be the greatest of broodmares. The dam
of Stamboul was Fleetwing, whose name is enrolled among
the great broodmares, and she was by Hambletonian 10 out
of a daughter of that grand old trotter and hero of many
hard fought races Geo. M. Pttchen 30, her next dam being
by Abdallah, sire of Hambletonian 10 Such is the sire of
Stam B. 2:11}.

Belle Medium 2:20, his dam, is a daughter of Happy
Medium, who sired that queen of champions Nancy Hanks
2:04. Her dam, Argenta, is a producer and is by Almont
Lightning, sire also of the dam of Zombro 2 :11. The next
dam is a daughter of the great Mambrino Patchen, the next
by Mambrino Chief 11, and from there on thoroughbred of
the celebrated Whip family.

The blood lines and individuality of Stam B. were such
that while yet a colt he was pointed to as a comiog race
horEe and Bire. On the track he has verified that portion of
the prediction, and although none of his get are yet old
enough to race, there is no doubt but that he will sustain all
that has been prophesied for him in the stud by his most
ardent admirers, as bis get all show high quality and natural
speed. Stam B*s career as a race horse h one that few young
stallions have equalled. He started in twenty-one races, was
first ten time?, second six times and third five times, thus be-
ing never outside the money and winning $7500. He met
the best horses of his years and earned a reputation for speed
and bull deg gameness that stamped him a great representa-
tive of the great families from which he descends.

As an individual he has no superiors. He stajds 15.3,
weighs 1075 pounds and is a model of symmetry. He is now
at the Sacramento track where he will make the season of
1900 at the low figure of $40. He is owned by Tuttle Bros,
of Bocklin, Placer county, Cal., to whom all communica-
tions should be addressed.

The following clever skit appeared in the last issue of the
Chicago Horseman and will be cf special interest to Pacific
Coast horsemen, who have no doubt often noticed the diffi-
culty tbe turf reporters and othe s have experienced in
getting the letters in the name of the gray son of Hamble-
tonian Mambrino properly placed:

I am an old subscriber. I never read a newspaper. I
have no education. I am only the 1 in Caryle Carne'e name.
Ever since Andy McDowell first announced that the horse
would be brought East from California to get all the money,
I have had what Philosopher Dooley calls "a L of a time."
It may interest you to know that 1 belong in next to last
place, following the y and preceding the e. Likewise that 1
am an orphan. In all the name there is but one of my kind.
Yet almost every time I get into print I can peep over the y
and see some fellow that looks like me. Of course, I don't
care if he travels on the same train, but he crowds the com-
partment just a trifle, and, besides that, he ought to stay
where he belongs. The Caryle family cao get along without
him. There is no sense in his crawling in where he is not
wanted and taking the center of the stage. He spoils the
family name, which is Caryle and not Carlyle. If you will
speak kindly to him about it and tell him be is working
overtime without any prospect of ever seeing tbe pay car
yoi will confer a favor on an humble but hard-working
lel.er. Also tell tbe proofreaders that the 1 who is writing
tu's does not live between the rand the y, but, as stated
a! ove, between the y and the e. Trusting to your kiod-

as to set me right before the horse public, I am sincerely
) ire, L.

During the recent years of depression in the horse businese
there has been but little breeding done in Napa county, and
but very few standard bred trotters have stood for service
there. Time was when that garden spot of nature stood
among the leading horse counties of the State, and on the
farms of H. W. Crabb, Prof. E. P. Heald, F. W. Loeber,
Col. Lightner, Mrs. Silas 8kinner, Hon: F. L. Coombs,
Zollern & Even, J. L. McCord, P. H. Lennon and many
others were many grandly bred stallions and mares, and
among the roadsters of San FranciBco and track horses of the
trotting circuit Napa country bred horses were numerous.
OwiDg to the fact that the pasture lands of that county have
been almost entirely devoted in late years to the cultivation
of vine and fruit tree, horse breeding has been gradually
lessening, but now that good horses are in demand, the own-
ers of mares are again devoting some attentiun to the subject
and if the annual district fairs are revived this year and con-
tinued, Napa will soon be in line again as a horse breeding
county. Believing that a well bred trotting stallion will re.
ceive a fair patronage there this year Prof. E. P. Heald has
decided to place his horse Pilot Prince 2:22£, in charge of
that well known horseman Chas. Scott at the Napa race
track and if the owners of well bred mares are wise they will
give this stallion a very liberal patronage.

Pilot Prince is a son of Dexter Prince, a stallion whose
get sell for a larger average than any horse whose produce
is shipped to the New York and Cleveland sales from Cali-
fornia. Dexter Prince is owned by Mr. A. B Spreckels,
but the Palo Alto Stock Farm has leased his stud services
for years and mate with him many of their best mares. He
is by Kentucky Prince out of Lady Dexter, a fall sister to
the immortal Dexter 2:17J. Dexter Prince has Bired ex-
treme speed, being the Bire of Jfmes L. 2:09^, Edith 2:10,
Aster 2:12, Prince Nutwood 2:12J, Charley Ford 2:12£ and
43 more that have standard speed. Several of his sons and
daughters have produced 2:30 performers.

The dam of Pilot Prince is Emma Nutwood who is the
dam of two in the list — Lottery Ticket 2:2H and Pilot
Prince 2:22|. Emma Nutwood is a daughter of the great
stallion Nutwood 600, whose standard performers number
156, from 2:06| to 2:30, whose daughters stand at the head
of prodacers of extreme Bpeed, whose producing sons
number over 100 and whose producing daughters are
as numerous. The second dam of Pilot Prince was Lady
Emma by Black Hawk 767, one of the greatest race mareB
ever owned in this State. She had a record of 2:38| made
before the days of good tracks and bike sulkies, and trotted
races of two, three and five miles and never found a race too
long for her. Pilot Prince could have no richer tlood than
he gets from his sire and his first and second dams, and when
it is stated that his third dam was by that grand old twenty-
mile champion General Taylor, and his fourth dam by Wil-
liamson's Belmont, one of whose sons sired the dam of
Directum 2:05}, there is no need for further comment. It
tells all that is necessary — carries conviction to the assertion
that Pilot Prince is one of the best bred trotting stallions in
America.

In the stud he has had only the most limited opportunities
but iB the sire of two with records, Joe 2:16| and Pilot Mc-
Clellan 2:22f. The few of his get that have been trained
invariably show speed and there is now a pacer in G. Lap-
ham's stable at the Alameda track that will certainly give
Pilot Prince a representative in the 2:12 list thiB year. _ As
a broodmare sire we believe that Pilot Prince will achieve
great fame if his daughters are mated with good stallions.
They have the vim and nerve so necessary in a broodmare
and have size and quality as well aa the best of feet and legs
and constitutions like iron. The fee to breed to this horse
is but $25 and at that figure there is no reason why the
Napaites Bhould not give him a large patronage.

An Owner Whose Horse Was Compelled to
Start and Died Sued for His Value.

Pittsburg, February 2 —An award of $2000 granted by a
jury yesterday marked the conclusion of an interestiDg and
unusual case. It was a suit brought by James G. Milburn,
of Chtster, Pa., owner of Democracy 2:07£, against the Car-
negie Fair and Trotting Association and John T. Taylor, of
Monaca, Pa.; T. Armstrong, of Alliance, Ohio, and A. Bar-
nard. It was an action of importance to the racing fra-
ternity and the verdict determines a question of responsibility
on the part of the judges of a horse race.

The suit was brought in Common Pleas No. 3 through
Attorney W. M. Benham, to recover $2500 for the death of
a race horse. The horse in question was the pacer Reynolds
M. Mr. Milburn, the owner, entered the horse in the races
at Carnegie in August, 1897.

August 7th the horse started in a race and won two heats.
The betting was 20 to 7 in favor of Reynolds M. Before the
third heat, it was alleged, Mr. Milburn noticed that the horse
was sick. He wanted to withdraw him from the track, but
there was a protest. He went belore tbe judges' stand and
asserted the horse was sick and not able to run and asked for
an examination by a veterinary surgeon. A horseman made
a brief examination of the aoimal and declared that he had
been "doped," or in other words drugged. Mr. Milburn de-
nied this, but the judges insisted that tbe horse finish tbe
race. The judges then gave the horse to a driver of their
own selection and he started in the third heat. The animal
was unable to finish. The next day he died. Mr. Milburn
contended that the animal had been affected by the heat and
that forcing him to race the third heat killed him. The
three defendants joined with the association controlling the
track were the judges of the race who ordered tbe horse to be
started.

The defendants, through Attorney Davis and Galbraith,
filed a demurrer to the suit. They alleged that if Milburn
knew bis horse was sick he had no business to allow him to
be forced into tbe race and that by permitting this course he
birred himself against recovering damages. The question
was argued in chambers before the judges of common pleas
court No. 3. It was contended in behalf of Mr. Milburn
that he was forced to allow the horse to be started when the
judge so ordered. Had he not done so it would have meant
the loss of thousands of dollars to him. The court finally
dismissed the demurrer, holding that Milburn had a right of
action.

At the bearing before the jury the trainer of the horse
John Cah ill, the driver, and Mr. Milburn, testified that the
horse had not been drugged or "doped," but that his sickness
had evidently been caused by tbe great beat of the day.
There was no testimony, whatever, to show that the horse had
been "doped," and at tbe conclusion a verdict was given in
favor of Milburn for $2000.

PRODUCING SIRE AND DAM.

Tbe Three- Year-Old Alton Should Sire Extreme
Speed.

"Breed producing sires to producing dams and the colts
will be almost certain to have speed and be able to repro-
duce it in their effspring,'' is one of the laws laid down for
the guidance of those who desire to take the fewest chances
in breeding the American trotter. At the San Jose race
track there iB a handsome black three year old whose sire is
Allamont 2:26£, sire of Bis with records below 2;10 and
thirty-eight in 2:30, and whose dam is the great Tecora, dam
of two with records of 2:08 or better, and four in the 2:20
list, by Cassius M. Clay Jr. 2:22. His name is Alton and he
is a full brothor to Chehalis 2:04J and Del Norte 2:08. Del
Norte has a record of 2:04 J, made last year as a guideless
pacer. Tecora is also the dam of Touchet 2:15, Tenino
2:19^, Coquette 2:30 and Lyla 2:32. Two of her daughters
are producers, as also are two of her sods- The colt Aha
Rio, that broke hiB leg at Santa Rosa last year, was a full
brother to Alton, and was worked a full mile in 2:12 before
the accident. Claymont, another son of Tecora, showed
miles in 2:20 in his work laBt year. Tecora wa& undoubtedly
one of the greatest producers of speed that ever lived.

With such an ancestry Alton can hardly help being a sue-
sees in the stud. He is a coal black horse with no markings*
having good size and like all Jthe Altamont's showing much
quality. He is fast and perfectly gaited, s square trotter and
with scarcely any training shows that a standard record is
within his reach at any time. Mr. H. H. Hellman, his
owner, will book but ten [mares to him this year and has
fixed his fee at $50 with the usual return privileges. He
will be at the Sao Jose track until the racing season opens in
July.

The special handicap at a mile and a sixteenth last Satur-
day w--s a holly contested event. Geyser, who proved the
winner, finished but a short neck in front of Zoroaster, with
Advance Guard at Zoroaster's saddle girth. The time, 1:474,
did not mark a very fast performance, as Dr. Sheppard, who
was supposed to set the pace, was cut off on the first turn and
could never get to the front, Geyser making his own running
throughout. Spencer rode a perfect race on the winner and
nursed his mount carefully, reserving something on which to
finish, as Geyser 1b not over partial to the distance.

J. Foley, who owns Coda, the mare which bled during
the mile and a half race, was called on for an explanation u
to the showing made by his animal, and his explanation was
taken under advisement by the judges.

AN IDEA that prevails in man7 portions of this
State with directors of agricultural societies is that large
stakes hung up for harness horse contests are a very
heavy draft upon the funds of a fair and race meeting
and consequently a great risk is run in offerirjg them
This idea is au erroneous one, as these early closing
stakes, if properly conditioned, always draw such a large
list of entries that they pay for themselves, and some-
times have a surplus over. In fact, this has been so
common in late years that horsemen have been objecting
strenuously, saying these early closing stakes are not
evidences of liberality in the least, as the horsemen are
simply trotting for their own money. While this is
sometimes true, the far-seeing and more level-headed of
the horse owners admit that it is better to trot for their
own "money than not to trot at all, and realize plainly
that without large entry lists associations will be unable
to give large stakes. Under the condition "five per
cent, to enter and five per cent, additional from money
winners," Bixteen paid up entries pay the entire purse
and on every race where more than sixteen pay up there
is a clear profit. The man who wins does not care
whether the money comes out of the horseman or out
of the people so long as he gets it, and the fellow who
loses realizes his entrance fee was sacrificed simply be-
cause his horse failed to trot faster than the other.
Some of the larger Eastern associations received enough
money from entries in their big stakes last year to pay
the stake, bave a cash balance and several hundred
dollars worth of claims against owners besides. Early
meetings invariably collect more than 80 per cent, of
their entrance money, and meetings given later can do
a., well if they will arrange their programs judiciously,
l-'ecretaries should place themselves in touch with horse
wners and keep thoroughly posted as to the horses in
dining and their records. A race for a certain class

may not fill because some one horse has it at his mercy,
whereas if a condition were made to bar this horse the
entries would be numerous. There is very little risk
taken in offering early closing stakes, as unless they fill
satisfactorily they can not be declared off, while if satis-
factorily filled the entrance money or the greater portion
of it at least will be paid. The system of collecting
entrance money, though the National and American
Associations is as near perfect as anything can be and
the percentage ot bills owed for entrance is small in
comparison to those due the butcher, the baker and the
candlestickmaker in any community that can be men-
tioned.

The Kentucky Futurity.

NO BOOKMAKLNG will be permitted at the district
fairs to be given at Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico of
the Northern circuit this year. Such is the sentiment
against this system of wagering on race results in those
districts, that when Col. Park Henshaw made the motion
at the convention of district representatives held in
Chico last Saturday to prohibit bookmaking, the motion
was seconded by half a dozen delegates at once, passed
unanimously and the announcement greeted with ap.
plause. The Breeder and Sportsman takes this oc-
casion to congratulate all those who have the interest of
clean sport at heart on this first victory and to express
the hope that wherever a district or agricultural board
meets this year the same resolution will be unanimously
passed. Since last Saturday the writer has heard many
of the best patrons of the county fairs express their
opinions on the action of the Chico convention and in
every instance the stand thus boldly taken against a cry-
ing evil has been approved and upheld. We predict for
the Northern District big lists of entries, good clean rac-
ing, large crowds and financial success this year, and
can assure the delegates who voted for the abolition of
"the books" that their resolution has done more to re-
store confidence than any act they could have performed
and that they will have the endorsement and support of
harness horse men all over the State.

WASHINGTON PARK, CHICAGO, will hold a
race meeting this year. The simple announcement
of the fact is an assurance to the horse owners and
the public that the racing will be high class as the
Washington Park Club will countenance nothing else.
Washington Park Club's first president was that grand
old soldier Gen. Phil Sheridan, and the aim of his suc-
cessors has been to keep the affairs of the club on the
same high plane established during his regime. No
announcement has met with a heartier reception this
year than the one sent out by Secretary Howard that
Washington Park would reopen its gates, and the fact
that fourteen sweepstakes to which the aggregate sum of
$34,000 is added, and a grand list of other stakes in
which the American Derby with $10,000 added is a
featuie has turned the eyes of every horse owner to
Chicago. Besides the American Derby there are the
Sheridan, Englewood and Drexel, for three year olds.
Four handicaps, for three year olds and upward, are the
Oakwood, Great Western, Turf Congress and Wheeler,
with the Midway Stakes, with selling allowances. The
stakes for two year olds are five in number — the Lake-
side, Kenwood, Edgewater, Quickstep and Hyde Park.
The entire list of stakes and conditions are published in
our advertising columns. Address all communications
and entries to Mr. James Howard, Secretary, Sixty-firBt
street and South Park avenue, Chicago, 111.

READVIDLE, where the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders Association will hold its meeting this
year, will have a great week of racing. The purses
and stakes for trotters and pacers make a most at-
tractive program, and entries to them will close March
10th. The Massachusetts is for $10,000 and is for the
2:13 trotting class, while the Neponset is for $5000 for
the 2:10 pacing class. These events are on the subscrip-
tion plan, the horses to be eligible on March 10th, when
the lists will close, but the horses need not be named till
August 5th. In the other four purses the horses must
be Darned when the entiy list closes on March 10th.
The Blue Hill of $5000, is for trotters of the 2:30 class,
and there is a purse of $2000 for trotting three year oldB
eli T^ble to the 2:25 class. The pacers have two purses
of $3000 each, for the 2:25 and the 2:14 classes. The
payment of 5 per cent, is divided into six installments,
payable on March 10, May 10, June 11, July 10 and
August 6. Hopples will not be barred, and in all the
regular nomination classes where horses must be named
on March 10, if in the same stable, more than one
may be named as one entry, and if Bold in such time
as to be eligible to start, the regular payments hav-
ing been made, they shall have the* right to do so.
These purses should fill well. The terms are liberal and
fully set forth in the advertisement in this issue.

On another page is the announcement of the Kentucky
Futurity for foals of 1900. This big event will be worth
$20,000, of which $14,000 will be set aside for three year old
trotters, $5000 for two year old trotters and $1000 for two
year old pacers. This is the richest trotting stake in the
world being from two to four times as large as other like
events, while the entrance fee required to carry the colt to a
8aleable or trainable age is either the same or less.

The five dollar nomination fee would be trifling for a race
of one-fonrth its value, being but one-fortieth of one per
per cent. The $10 payment on weanlings (or their substi-
tutes) next winter, keeps each foal eligible, without further
payment, to within about four months of both races, nothing
being due on two year olds between December 1, 1900 and
June 1, 1603. Therefore, before any payments are due, the
breeder can sell his colt, with the advantage of the engage-
ment and the trainer can work it enough to know whether it
warrants further payments.

Whether one breeds to sell or to race, none can afford to
miss the Kentucky Futurity. It is the star event of the
trotting turf. The winner makes its sire popular and en-
hances the value of his colts. Janie T. increased Bow Bells'
earning capacity 100 per cent. Boreal's owner sold more
of his colts around the $1000 mark in two months after
Boralma's victoty than in all the time before.

Colts can start as two year olds, or as three year olds,
without additional expense. It is the only trotting race
with a $10,000 first money. If a nominated mare's foal, or
its substitute, wins any of the eight moneys, the original nom-
inator gets some of the money, no matter who trots the colt.

Good youngsters are sold easier and for more money when
in the Futurity. It often trebles the selling price of those
that can step fast.

None but wealthy men can afford to hold colts for three or
foor years. The average breeder mnst sell or trot them, and
turn them into money, quick. In neither case can this be
profitably done without stake engagements. A good colt,
not "staked," is like a man out of a iob. Nobody wants him.

No man can sell a good youngster for a big price nowadays
either by auction or private sale, nnless it has stake en.'
gagements.

The entrance fee in this big stake is payable as follows :
Five dollars for each mare March 15, ly00; $10 for each
weanling December 1, 1900. This $15 keeps the entry good
until within four months of the race, and colts remain eligi-
ble to the three-year-old race without any further payment
until June 1, 1903. Should an owner desire to start his en-
try in the two year old division, $25 will be due Jnne 1,
1902; $50 September 1, 1902 (only $10 if started in the pac-
ing division) and $100 the night before the race. On three-
year olds to start in 1903 the payments will be: $50 June 1,
1903; $50 September 1, 1903, and $250 the night before the
race. We earnestly advise every owner of a good mare that
is due to produce a foal this season to send to H. W. Wilson
secretary, Lexington, Ky., for entry blanks and make as
many entries as he has good mares. It will pay.

At the Oolusa Track.

The mile track at Colusa is said by those who are working
there to be the best winter track in California, bar none*
Among the horses now being worked there are the following:

Kentucky Earon, b s, by Baron Wilkes 2:18, dam Kate
Carey, by Kentucky Prince.

Klondike, 3, by Kentucky Baron, dam Mignotte by
Antelope.

E. C. Wilkes by Clarence Wilkes, dam by Tilton Almont.

Laura Dell by Boydell, son of Electioneer, dam by Tilton
Almont.

Sutter br Noonday 10,000, dam by Prompter.

The above are all green trotters in training for the Cali-
fornia circuit and will be named in the slow classes.

There are also eight runners at the track. A number of
harness horses are expected to arrive at the track by the
first of next month.

The directors of tbe Colusa Fair Association have secured
a half rate on the narrow guage road which rous from
Willows to Colusa for all horses that are raced or exhibited
at the fairs to be held at both those places this year. Good
box stalls will be furnished free to all horses entered in the

"Farmer" Bcnch, as every one knows, will "talk a
man's arm off" when he gets on the subject of the stallion
Boodle 2:12*. The other day a prominent San Francisco
lawyer went to San Jose to look at Boodle and some of his
colte. Bunch showed him seven fine specimens and told a
long story as each colt was led ont for inspection and never
allowed the lawyer a chance to "object" or "file a demurrer"
or to even ask a question. The qniet man with the legal
mind finally said, "Mr. Bunch, I must hasten to catch my
train. I will book two good mares to Boodle, but in the
future, I advise you to lead out yonr colts and 'submit the
case without argument!' You will surely win. Good-day."

Henry Hellman has bred Angie Wilkes by Guy Wilkes

Jr. 2:19J) to Boodle 2:12}.

$4600 and was pnrchased by W. C. Hendrickson of Belle

Alert is one of the fastest horses he ever saw. At Fort Erie,
on a track fixed for runners, he saw bim work a mile in
2:03}, last half in one minute flat sod both quarters in 30
seconds. He says Prince Alert gets away behind his field
several lengths in nearly every instance and no matter how
fast they go catches them by the time he gets to the quarter
pole. He looks for him to pace away below his record
this year. W. L. Snow, who drove Hal B. 2:04* and
Bumps 2:03} to their records, will probably handle the

found the filly in a stall when I got back and the next day I
started in to break her. 8he didn't require much teaching
and was soon showing a nice gait at the pace. I looked up
her breeding and found she was really by Cornelius, that
Nutwood horse at the ranch, and out of a mare by Zulu
Chief. There was a pretty little waiter girl in one of those
tomale restaurants in Sacramento who had often asked me
to name one of our trotters or pacers after her, so I called
this filly Carmelita. With many others of the Rancho del
Paso's trotting bred colts and fillies Carmelita was sold East
and the next I heard of her was in July last year when I
picked up the paper and saw that she had Btarted in the
Chamber of Commerce Stake at Detroit and got third money

"Oh, yes," said he, "but you'll have to furnish me with

In his anxiety to kill all the "varmints" he could, he had
paid no attention to his band and it had disappeared. If you
want some trainers to work for you after the first month, you
will have to furnish them with more horses.

not bring as much as $1000, yet there were several breeders
present who would have gladly given that amount and more.
He went to A. G. Danforth, of Washington, 111., and will be

"I said she had got around the ring in 2:28."

"She's yours then."

"Not yet," said I, pulling a tape line from my pocket. "1

"There's no need of that"' Baid he. "I paid our county

"I've got three or four hourB until train time," I replied,

at the station to see me off, purchased a ticket for me and
handed me the amount I bad paid for fare from home. He
told me I had better take the mare at $400, which was a

"Had your friend overestimated the mare?" asked Geo.

the story.

"No," replied Vet, "he had only overestimated the

Over at the Alameda track last Sunday there was the usual
crowd gathered and the conversation reverted to the subject
of training when the remark was made that there are still
many men in the business who are so hard on the horses
that by the time racing begins each year they have notbiog
fit to start. Then Dr. Latham told a story. It was some-
thing like this: "Monroe Salisbury used to say that many of

Herbert Grey, of Boston, who buys the trotters for Thomas
W. Lawson's stable of cracks, most have flung a hypnotic
aura (whatever that is) over the big crowd of horsemen at
Madison Square Garden the second day of the sale, when
that great young trotter Thomas C. 2:11}, which appeared
in the West last season, and of whom very little was heard
until he had been consigned to this sale, was led into the
ring It was known that he was as fast as a prairie fire and
almost any good judge would have wagered even money that
he would letch above $4000. The bidding started lively
enough, but after passing the $1500 mark appeared to drag a
bit. An apathy seemed to have struck the crowd, and the
horse was knocked down to Mr. Grey for $2250. When
some in the crowd rubbed their eyes and realized that the
young Westerner had slipped through their fingers they
Btarted after Mr. Grey and began to make him offers for his

offered $500 for his bargain more than once, and one gen-
tleman went considerably higher. Now, what in the world
were theBe gentlemen doing when George Bain was shouting
himself hoarse trying to wring a higher bid out of them?
If Grey did not have them hypnotized, then they were surely
in a trance. Thomas C. will wear the Lawson colors the
coming season, and it is a two to one shot that he will be
heard from.

The noted speedway trotter, Bavlight 2:s3}, was among the
prominent ones that passed under the hammer. The big,
brawny trotter from New Jersey made a reputation second
only to tbat of Cobwebs 2:12 on the speedway last fall, show
his heels to some of the best ones on the road. It is said
that he has covered a mile in 2.08, and so good a judge as

was booked to a full seated wason, with two persons aboard,

weight so successfully tbat none of the trotters on the road
conld beat him decisively. Alonzo Maynard's iron gray

The breeding of fine draught horses is made a specialty in
Belgium, and is carried on extensively with great success and
profit. Colts from five to six months old sell for from $60

in 2:13 in her work and was retired on account of eickneBS.
She is reported in fine condition now, and the one that beats
her in her class this season will have to step a merry clip.
She iB owned at Patchen Wilkes Stock Farm, and will be

Quite a number of horses are being exercised at Agricul-
tural Park, says the 8acramento Record Union. Light har-
ness horses are decidedly in evidence. Last week from
Eocklin came the racing stable of Tuttle Bros., including
Stam B. 2:11£, the fastest and gamest trotter ever prepared
on the Sacramento track, also a couple of three year old
fillies by him — Rosemond and Tattle. These will be gotten
into shape by Trainer Tom Ivey. Vet Try on has, in addi-
tion to several likely ones from the Haggin ranch, by Knight,
three of J. E. Terry's horses, Vortex and a couple by Easter
Wilkes, also Dr. Fox's Daedalion 2:11. All are in good
condition, having been jogged throughout tbe winter, and
are good and hard for the season's work. Trainer Hoga-
boom has several young ones by Waldstein, and one by
Diablo. Tom Holmes iB also jogging several likely looking
ycung ones, including a filly by Knight, and a handsome
gray, a new arrival from Southern California.

Once more the grim scythe bearer has created a vacancy
in the ranks of the turf writers, for last week P. H. Mickle-
wood passed over to the great msjority. For several years
past "Mickie,1' as he was familiarly known among his co-
reporters, represented the New York Herald in the horse
department. He was a spicy writer, and some of bis com-
ments on the stock sent to the New York market were brief,
but decidedly to the point. At a sale of about the worst lot
of said-to-be-trotting stock ever shipped to New York the
prices were so low as to make the event unworthy of any
"space," so Micklewood summed it np as follows: "It was
not that tbe market was not good enough for the stock, bui
that the stock was not good enough for the market." Mickle-
wood's death was rather sudden, as, in fact, he was sick only
three days, rapid pneumonia. He was generous to a fault,
always ready to assist his fellow workers, and will be missed
by his many friends, both in the newspaper ranks and the
horse world generally. — American Horse Breeder.

An American trotter has turned up in Russia as a ringer,
but differently from all other European ringers so far re-
ported, for he was being masqueraded as a Russian trotter
with a Russian name and pedigree. This horse is Oslund
L 2:16* by Lockheart. It will be remembered that be was
sold to Andy McDowell during a Western race meeting a
couple of years ago, and McDowell let out a few predictions
as to what he would do with tbe son of Lockheart. Since
then nothing has been heard of the horse in this country.
An American horseshoer, who is at present shoeing trotters
in Moscow, Russia, and who had shod Oslund L. in this
conntry, recognized the horse in Russia, and set horsemen
investigating. Oslund L. is an easy horse to identify, as
he has two black spots on him, one on tbe shoulder and one
on the flank. By the possession of these and the aid of a
photograph sent to him, George W. Sherwood, of St. Paul,
Minn., who bred and raided Oslnnd L , has fully identified
the horse in Russia as being the son of Lockheart.

Report of F. J. Berry & C, Union Stockyards, Chicago,
Tuesday, February 7, 1900 : There was a little falling of
in the volume of receipts during the week ending Saturday,
February 3d. The market was very steady, everything be-
ing salable at about the prices quoted one week ago. So
far the current week the receipts have been fair, with a
liberal demand. Heavy drafters of good quality, smooth
1400 to 1500 pound chunks, large sized, stylish drivers and
feeders of good quality are all sooght for and selling reason-
ably well. There is also considerable call for horses suited
for the Southern trade, but, as is always the case, this class
sells at moderate figures. The outlook is for a brisk demand
and strong prices during tbe coming two or three months.
We quote: Heavy drafters, $110 to $225; expresses, $85 to
$150; 1300 to 1500 pound chunks, $65 to $120; 1200 to
1400 pound farm chunks. $55 to $80; 900 to 1100 pound
Southern chunks, $35 to $c0; coachers and fast road horses,
fair quality, $85 to $150; coacbers and fast road horses,
extra quality, $150 to $325; plain drivers, $50 to $75.
These prices are for sound horses, five to eight years old,
well broken and in good flesh.

Because Col. Kuser has won a large sum of money in

country, there has been an attempt made to show that the
earning capacity of the trotter iB greater in Europe than
in America. It iB not so, says an exchange. The Abbott,
although he was unable to start for a big prize during his in-
vincible campaign last year, won over $10,000, and in three
years he earned $25,000, which includes tbe year he came
out treen. In two seasons Peter the Great won over $16,000,
Charley Herr over $17,000, and if they keep sound their
earning capacity should be as great in the next few years,
notwithstanding that thev will have to go against higher
class horses in their classes than the son of Stranger will
meet in Europe. Among the pacers Joe Patchen haB been
an eoormous money winner. As he figured in many special
races and received unknown amounts for exhibition miles he
exact earnings are unknown, but last year he won $11,800.
Since 1S94, covering six campaiene, his winnings have un-
doubtedly averaged $10,000 a year. In six years John R.
Gentry won about $70,000. Star Pointer averaged $10,000
a year in his campaigns up to last year.

THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT.

"Who Will Own FlyiDg Fox ?

It is predicted by many of the beBt posted horsemen in
England that Flyiog Fox will bring at least $150,000 when
Bold there. With the question of the probable purchaser we
enter upon a vast field, bat one none the less interesting
writes N. H. Rowe. Among Englishmen, Sir J. Blundell
Maple, who gave £15,000 for Common, made an offer of
£30,000 for Flying Fox last spring, and, as he ib reported to
have subsequently expressed himself, "might as well have
made it £50.000. Sir John has a tremenduouBly large stud
at Childwick, and with Common a comparative disappoint-
ment and Ropal Hampton displaying thus far an unfortunate
persistency for Biring his best stock for other owners, the
master of Childwick may well be regarded as England's fore-
most candidate in the coming struggle.

Of Continental buyers, the Austrian Government gave
18,000 guineas for Matchbox and 15,000 guineas for Bona
Vista, while the German Government gave 14,000 guineas
for St. Gatien. Bat, more that this, the Russian Govern-
ment gave 20,000 guineas for Galtee More, just in the nick
of time, too, for several interests, notably those represented
by Count Lehndorff, wonld have taken a lively hand in the
matter had they known that the horse could be secured for
that price instead of the generally understood figure of 25,000
guineas.

Last, but not leaBt, we come to America. Who shall ven-
ture to assert that a list comprising Mr. Marcus Daly, Mr.
J. B. Haggin and Mr. W. C. Whitney will not embrace the
eventual purchaser ? 8howing their faith by their works,
these three gentlemen have made tremenduoas investments
in bloodstock, and if many incline to the notion that Mr.
Daly will "never say die," what better proof can be offered
than that he is known to have been willing to buy St. Simon
at any price not so very long agi ? And do we all not know
that had Mr. Daly's laconic "Buy La Fleche" cablegram
reached Lord t Marcus Beresford a quarter of a hour earlier
than it did, the peerless 8t. 8imon filly would have certainly
been under the "copper, green csp" during her eventful
career ?

The worth of such a horse as Flying Fos, supreme upon
(he racecourse and reasonably certain to be a great sire with
proper mating, can hardly be measured by dollars or cents
or ponnds, shillings and pence to men or governments of the
calibre which I have mentioned. Possibly some compara-
tively unknown turfman or a genuine recruit may blaze into
notoriety by the purchase of the horse at a record figure.
But come the purchaser from whatever quarter of the turf
world he may, Mr. Allison's opinion — and it is the opinion
of the leading English expert, be it remembered — iB ex-
pressed in the following sentence, with which he closes a re-
cent article on the subject : "My own belief is that nothing
but a combination will keep that horse in England." And
let me add as the fervent wish of myself and all true lovers
of the thoroughbred : "May the best of luck go with him,
wherever and to whomsoever he may go."

Pleasanton (Cal.), February 20, 1900.

Everybody is busy at the track, and fast work is being
dooe. During the past week several fast workouts were held
and considerable fun had at the expense of the drivers who
made heroic efiorts to pass under the wire in the lead hut
failed. Klatawah 2:05* and I Direct 2:13 worked out
together, and a Blow mile was made, with I Direct pacing
under the wire in the lead. During the heat Klatawah
made several bad breaks. Tom Keating was made the sub-
ject of much joshing for some little time after, but took it
all good naturedly. I Direct is showing great speed, how-
ever, and it will take a fast horse to beat him.

Klatawah was bred this week to Rath C , by Guide, who
is the dam of a fast three year old by Diablo and has at foot
Search Warrant by Searchlight.

Det Biglow, of Woodland, has sent his mare Lacy B.
2:14i by Alex. Button to William Murray to be bred to
Diablo.

Millard Sanders has received from Mr. Pemherton, of
Pfcceaix, Ariz , the great horse Boydello 2:14$, which he will
put in .training.

Ed Lafferty is now working Warney, a green one by Guy
Wilkes out of Wanda, the property of Frank Burke of La
Siesta Stock Farm. He is showing great speed at the pace.

Never was there such a chance to breed to record breakers
here as at the present time. With such sires as Diablo
2:0PJ, Direct 2:05i and McKinney 2:11J to pick from one
need go no further for developed sires.

W. Farram was in Pleasanton Sunday and while here
went over sixteen of the horses' months with his dental
tools. He expressed himself before leaving that in all prob-
ability he would soon locate here.

Among some of the visitors at the track Saturday were
MrB. C. L. Stephens and the MiBses Hattie and Hannah
Leete of Michigan, Detroit. %

Chas. Griffith has bred Vida Wilkes 2:1*£ by Gay WilkeB
to Direct.

Walter Hobarl's mare Hazel Wilkes 2:12£, bas been
bred to McKinney.

In conversation with J. Sutherland to-day he stated that
he is now busily engaged in working fifteen horses that are
quite promising and are keeping him busily at work. Among
the number are two which he has received of late, they being
a two year old mare, trotter, by Seven Oaks dam Ventura,
by Adventure, the property of Capt. Harris of San Fran-
cisco. The other is a four year old mare, trotter, by Diablo,
the property of Mr. Carmeil. He is still working his horses
at the recently sold property, but intends moving the string
to the Pleasanton track in about two weeks.

Chas. Durfee received from Walnut Grove to-day two
marcs to be bred to McKinney thev being Francisca dam of
I Direct 2:13, Sable Francis 2:17£ and Guycesca 2:26, the
other was a mare by Gay Wilkes. Cobb.

Ihe Tanforan Stewards have been officially informed that
the Committee of Appeals of the Turf Congress had reversed
their decision in the Dose- Jennings case, which came up
during the last meeting at that track. The committee de-
cided that, inasmuch as Jennings has a partner, or that a
partnership is known to exist between him and Mr. J. B.
Haggin, and that he did not run his horses in a partnership
or firm name, bis claiming of Decoy is illegal. Jennings
claimed Decoy out of a selling race, and the Tanforan
Stewards refused to entertain Dosb' protest. Doss then made
formal ap peal to the Turf Congress Committee with the result
that his appeal was sustained.

Good Stakes and Purses But No Bookmaklnsr

[Cblco Enterprise J

The meeting of the representatives of the various Agricul-
tural Districts of the Sacramento Valley held at the City
Hall on Saturday evening «as well attended and productive
of considerable discussion for the good cf the coming district
fairs.

Woodland was represented by Chas. Hoppin; Douglas Cone
appeared for Red Bluff; E C. Peart and W. Merrill, Colasa;
O. L. Clark, A. L. Nichols, B. Cussick, W. J. O'Connor and
P. C. Williams for Chico, while Col. Henshaw represented
Willows. Marysville had no representative.

O. L. Clark presided and A. G. Simpson acted as Secretary

After the roll-call of delegates the Secretary read the pro-
gram as drawn up at a previous meeting and the delegates
present immediately entered into a discussion of the various
events.

Col. Henshaw stated that while there were representatives
of the parious districts together it would be well to get an ex-
pression from tbem as to their views on the four nomination
Blakes to be offered ,

The representatives of Colusa, Willows, Chico and Red
Bluff agreed that the program of nomination events as ar-
ranged was entirely satisfactory. Chas. Hoppin spoke for
Marysville, stating that there was doubt about a meeting be-
ing held there.

He also stated that the Woodland directors favored a re-
duction in the amount of the nomination stakes from $1000
to ¥750. Personally Mr. Hoppin was perfectly satisfied with
the $1000 stakes, but the other directors were all opposed to
offering such large stakes.

One reason for this view was, Mr. Hoppin thought, because
the entries at Woodland would not be so numerous as at the
other places. Woodland has the last meeting before the
State Fair, and by the time Colusa, WillowB, possibly Marys-
ville, Red Blufi and Chico had been visited, the horses
would be pretty well measured and many would be "laid up"
for entrance at the State Fair.

The people of Woodland, he said, were enthusiastic on the
proposition of having a large display of products of the farm,
and would push this feature to the front.

Col. Henshaw stated that the joint meeting of directors
should take some action regarding " bookmaking." He
characterized bookmaking as a great detriment to district
fairs and urged that it should not be allowed at any meetings
in the northern districts, concluding his remarks by a motion
that it be not allowed. The motion was unanimously carried.
The progiam for the races at Colasa, Willows, Red Blufi
and Chico now stands as follows :

NOMINATION GUARANTEED STAKES.
1—2:40 Trot, State, 81000. I 3—2:30 Pace. Stake S1000.

2—2:25 Trot, State 81000. 4—2:20 Pace, Stake 81000.

Four moneys, Entrance 5 per cent.; additional 5 per cent, from
winners.

8—2:14 Pace, Puree 8600.
9—2:11 Pace, Purse $600.
10— Three Year Old District Pace,
Purse ?300.

Two running events each day, races to be made up over night.

The Woodland program will be the same as above with
the exception of the nomination stakes, which will be for
the same classes but for $750 each.

The date of closing the nomioation stakes has been tiied
for May 1st at all the places on the circuit.

Sale of Marcus Daly Horses.

There was a good attendance at the auction sale of young
horses in training belonging to Marcus Daly, of Montane, at
the Occidental Horse Exchange in thiB city, last Tuesday
evening. The bidding was quite spirited and fair price5
were obtained throughout, as the following account of the
horses sold will show:

The Stewards of the California Jockey Club met Tuesday
night and affirmed their decision in the case of Bookmaker
Joe Rose, who was warned off tbe Oakland track as a result
of the investigation made in the Bed Pirate race. When
tbe actiou was first taken Mr. Kose was not present and he
demanded another hearing. Mr. Kose was present Tuesday
night.

Hard Knot, the black horse which Ed Lannigan pur-
chased from the Dunne Stable last summer, seems to have re-
gained bis form and ran a ccuple of creditable races last
week, winning at both six furlongs and a mile and defeating
such good ones as Mocorito, Potente and Harry Thoburn.

Barney 8chbiebeb has secured the services of Jockey
Henry for the season of 1900 and 1901. Henry has shown
great improvement during the past three months and has the
material for a very promising rider.

T. P. Schwartz, of Reno, Nev., has purchased the chest-
nut horse Joe Terry and will ship him to Nevada fo~ breed*
ing purposes. Joe Terry is a half brother to BrntUB and ote
of the best bred horses on tbe Coast. He was a good per-
former on the turf and should prove a success in the stud.

The mile and a half race last Saturday was a most farci-
cal exhibition. Sardonic, the one to four chance, wheeled
as the barrier was released pnd was left standing. Coda,
supposed to be the contender, was in no condition to race
and pulled up after going half a mile leaving but two horses
to fight it out for the money, Tom Calvert finally winning
with ridiculous ease.

Jockey Bobns' finish on Timemaker in the race with
Frank Bell and Headwater was a masterly effort, and to his
superior horsemanship alone may the victory of Timemaher

be attributed.

J. Sullivan who rode MoDita and J. Flynn who bad the
mount on Reno in the hurdle race, were suspended by the

stewards for indifferent riding.

Miss Rowena has been placed in training again and will
shortly be Been on the local tracks.

The Fly-Casters.

Picturesque 8tow lake in 0 olden Gate Park waB the scene Of
the initial meeting for 1900 of the 8an Francisco Fly-Casting
Club members on Saturday last. A foggy, cold day and a west'
erly breeze were not conducive to comfort or the making of
big scores, nevertheless some very good work was done. In
the long distance event first place was won by H. C. Golcher
with a cast of 111 feet. T. W. Brotherton was second with
104 feet. First place in accuracy went to W. D. Mansfield,
who scored 95 8-12 per cent. Messrs. Young and Muller
tied for second place, each with 93 4-12 per cent. The del-
icacy event was won by Mansfield with 84 4-12 per cent.
Golcher took second place with 83£ per cent.

On Sunday the weather was damp and the wind southwest,
however some excellent casting was done. H. C. Golcher
was first in long distance with 113 feet. F. E. Daverkoeen
second with 105J feet and Brotherton close op with 105 feet.
Golcher was first in accurary and J. 8. Turner led in the
delicacy event. The scores made on the second day show a
decided lead over Saturday's casting.

Messrs. BrooEs and Stratton are both new members
and made an excellent showing. Daverkosen has not
cast for a year, bis score in long distance evidences
that he will be pretty close up to the top of the cham-
pionship class when the season closes. Mansfield will
not compete this year for the long distance medal, this leaves
the personnel of the distance championship class composed
of Golcher, Lovett, Everett, Daverkosen and possibly A. T.
Vogelsang, if he will keep up his practice. .Russell A.
Crowell also whipped the lake on Sunday, his first appear-
ance in two years.

The casting scores were the following:

Last week Eastern visitors in San Diego, who are at present
very numerous in the southern city, were treated to an un-
usual Bight on Thursday evening, when four big jewfisb, the
catch of one boat during the morning hourB at Coronado
beach, were hung up on Fifth street. Very few of the
Easterners bad ever seen a fish which weighed more than
twelve or fourteen pounds and most of them had not seen
any of that weight. The four 6eh weighing 200, 248, 250
and 275 pounds were gazed at with open-mouthed curiosity.

The four were caught by a party of San Diego fishermen
composed of Captain Tarrow, Byron Buck and William
Dodge, who at the same time landed nearly 1000 pounds of
whitefish, yellow6o, rockcod, sheepshead and albecore. The
big fellows were caught with hook and line, but when hauled
to the boat they had to be knocked in the head with an ax
before they could be taken aboard. Though the fish are
large their flesh is palatable.

Mr. Matthias Dunn, a Cornish fishing expert, recently
oontributed to the Contemporary Review an article on the
" Seven Senses of Fishes" which contained some statements
and theories that have been received with quite a degree of
'acredulity. One belief advanced by the writer was that
fishes emit Bounds that are understood by tbeir fellows.
Professor Kollicker, of the Naples Aquarium, has, by a series
of experiments, confirmed this surprising theory. Enveloped
in a diving suit, the Professor was let down to the bottom of
the Mediterranean in an iron cage which was lit up by elec-

tricity. A specially constructed phonograph and a power-
ful receiver registered undoubted expressions of surprise with
which the finny denizens of the deep greeted the appearance
of the diver. Upon comparison being made it was noticed
that the sounds emitted by one fish differed greatly from
those of another, which led the savant to "sum up the results
of his experiment in the conviction that the sounds produced
by fishes will yet be recognized as a language."

Thus, from the above, it will appear that Prof Gamier,
who, encased also in an iron cage, and patiently sitting on
an inverted candle-box with a phonograph in his lap, a
green cotton umbrella over his head, catching the surprised
utterances of stray simians frolicking through the African
juDgle, will now have to look to his laurels. The latter
savant has a shade the best of it to date, because it has been
long believed by sailors that monkeys can talk, but they will
not, for man would then make them work.

Should the fish language theory prove correct we await
with much curiosity communications from the Paper Mill
and Russian river colonies of fisheB, giving their versions of
stories we have heard related by anglers who frequent thoBe
waters.

At the annual meeting of the Chicago Fly Casting Club
held on the 12th inst the following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: President, H. W. Perce; Vice-President,
W. T. Church; 8ecretary-TreaBUrer, G. A. Murrell; Captain,
E. K. Letterman. The club has decided to hold an open-to-

For Protection of Game.

Under the above caption the Record-Union of the 16th inst.
publishes the communication given below acd says in refer-
ence thereto, after briefly reviewing a similar movement in-
augurated several yearB ago : "Recently another move was
made along the line previously adopted, with the result that
another State convention has been called, this time to meet
in Sacramento on the 22d of March, for the purpose of for-
mulating a bill to be presented to the next Legislature."

We are inclined to believe that the date fixed and location,
named for the meeting is somewhat premature. If, as is in-
timated, this convention is to be called in conformity with
the plan scheduled and the Board of Fish and Game Com-
missioners are to be the sponsors for the same, the circular
should have the endorsement of the Commissioners. The
circular is signed "A. M. Barker, Chairman, C. W. Hibbard
Secretary and dated San Jose, February 12th.

This matter has been referred to tbe Board of Fish and
Game Commissioners, substantially as set forth below; but,
no action has yet been taken bv tbe Board in reference to it
The question of date, place of meeting, duration and pur.
pose of the proposed convention, or even whether the meeting
will be called or not, is Btill an open one, and will not be
acted upon by the Board until the matter comes up in the
next open meeting of the Board, which will be held early in
March. Such being the case it seems highly improbable
that the work and preparation necessary to bring the con-
vention together on March 22d can be performed in time by
the Board.

We are heartily in favor of game protection in this State
and will support a movement to that purpose, for this reason
we deem it due to those interested that they be advised as to
the present of affaire.

The circular above referred to is as follows :

''As you are doubtless aware, the Santa Clara County Fish
and Game Protective Association, at a meeting held Novem-
ber 3, 1899, decided in taking the initiative in bringing about
a convention of those interested in game protection, by ap-
pointing a committee of three who were instructed to issue a
proper call for a meeting, which was held in San Francisco
November 22, 1899, at the Occidental Hotel.

This committee issued invitations to all the Game Protec-
tive Clubs of which they knew. The result was that several
counties of the State were represented. Dr. A. M. Barker
was elected Chairman, and Dr. C, W. Hibbard Secretary-
At this meeting it was deemed advisable to invite Governor
Gage to issue tbe call for tbe convention, and accordingly a
committee of five was appointed to draft a suitable request to
send him, and after cousiderable delay Governor Gage replied
to tbe effect that he heartily indorsed the object, and will do
what he can for the cause, but on account of having refused
so man y different organizations the same request be feels he
cannot comply with ours, and suggests that the call be made
by those interested in game protection, through the State
Fish and Game Commission.

The past year has been one of great activity along the
lines of game protection by county legislation, renewed
energy in law enforcement, etc. Judging by the recent
Supreme Court decision of the "Knapp" case from Stanislaus
county there is likely to be more or less uncertainty in the
future as to just what may be done by county legislation,
and believing that the time has come when more stringent
game laws are needed, it has been deemed wise to take steps
to assemble together represen'ative men from every county
in the State to draft suitable game lawB for the present needs
of California.

The plan is for the State Fish Commission to request tbe
Board of Supervisors of each county to appoint two delegates
from each county, said delegates to be recommended by local
clubs (where they exist), and where there are no clubs it is
hoped the local sportsmen will call a meeting and elect two
sterling men who know the needs of the State, and will at-
tend the convention, and recommend the names to tbeir
Boards of Supervisors, who we trust will carry out their
wishes.

The Fish Commission will also appoint 'twenty-five dele-
gates at large from the State, and such delegates will be
chosen with reference to getting capable and earnest workers
in this cause.

Tbe convention will convene in Sacramento on March 22,
1900, at 10 a. m. We trust that no stone will be left un-
turned to get a representative body of men at this convention
that their work may be commended in after years."

At the Traps.

Tbe blue rock shoot of the Lincoln Gun Club held on
Thursday was the first regular trap shoot for the season and
brought out a good attendance of shooters. In nearly all
the events six squads were at tbe pegs. The average shooting
was excellent. Among the winning men were Otto Feudner
A J. Webb, Golcher, Edg. Forster,Ed Schultz, "Chestnut,"
Bruns, Karney, Ross, Anderson, Wilson and Williamson*

The Empire Gun Club have issued an attractive program
for Ibis season. Seven shoots are arranged for, a meeting to
be held on the second Sunday of each month. The prizes
offered and distribution of moneys are such an to appeal
Blrongly to trap shooters. The amateur, novice and expert
will find the inducements to face the Empire traps satisfac-
tory in many respecta.

A circular issued by tbe San Francisco Trap Shooting
AsBociation has created more than passing interest among
Bportsmen, The grounds will be devoted to both live bird
and blue rock shooting. The arrangements made for clubs
without grounds of their own are very liberal, this may induce
the formation of more than one new club. The facilities for
practice or private party trap shooting were never better
than are now offered at the Ingleside grounds.

Fred Gilbert, of Spirit Lake, la., the winner of the E. C.
Cup, emblematic of the inanimate target world's champion-
ship, was challenged on the 3d inst. by J. A. R. Elliott.
The challenge was accepted immediately and the match took
place at Hot Springs, Ark., last Monday. Gilbert retains
the championship and won the trophy again on a score of
133 to 125 breaks. The shooters each shot at 150 targets;
fifty birds, unknown traps, known angle?; fifty birds, known
traps ao unknown angles and twenty-five doubles. Fred
Gilbert shoots an L. C. Smith gun, Mr. Ellio t uses a
"pump" gun. Ordinarily Gilbert shoots Du Pont powder
and Elliott fires Hazard powder. In this match both con-
testants were obliged to Bboot with E. C. powder loads.

The annual pigeon shooting contest for the amateur cham-
pionship of America was held on the grounds of the Carteret

referee shall retire (with privilege of shooting np) those
shooters who, in his opinion, have no chance of sharing in

or as may be desirable to facilitate the completion of the
event. The winner will receive, in addition to the lion's
share of the sweepstake money, the Clarence H. Mackay
Cap, valued at $200, and emblematic of the championship.

The right to reject any entry has been reserved by the
executive committee and shooting was to begin each day at

Duryea of New York killed eighty-eight. No prize to filth
place. In addition to the $440 cash to the winner, Paynter

CARTRIDGE AND SHBLL.

One day last week, Mr. Tom Ellis, who is employed by
Mr. Eugene C. Stanley of Pleasanton, saw a big bald-headed
eagle apparently after a flock of lambs that were running on
the ranch, in the northern part of the valley, and took a shot
at it witt his rifle, with the result that the bird was wounded
in one of its wines and brought to the ground. With some
difficulty he succeeded in getting the eagle into a grain sack,
in which he carried it to the house, where a measurement
proved the bird to be 7 feet and 7 inches from tip to tip of
i(s wings.

The annual banquet ot the Pelican Gun Club of Sacra-
mento held last week was a verv enjoyable affair. The
members and guests present expressed many well wishes for
Captain Frank Ruhstaller, who is about to make a trip to
Europe. The club's trophy for the best general averaee dur-
ing last year's trap season was presented to L A. Upson,
J. B- Giffen makings neat presentation speech. The trophy,
which is of silver, consists of a matchbox, cigarette holder
and fenife, and was appropriately engraved.

The Santa Clara County Fish and Game Protective Asso-
ciation held its annual meeting and election of officers in
San Jose on the 16th inst. A voluminous report by the
President,Dr. A. M. Barker, was read.showing the history and
work of the association since its organization. Five hun-
dred members are now enrolled and the club is on a sound
financial basis. The practical work accomplished during the
year was shown in a list of arrests made and convictions had
for violations of the law. The officers elected were as fol-
lows: President, A. M. Barker; Vice-PieBident, Homer
Prindle; Secretary, F. C. Scherrer; Treasurer, P. H. Doblee;
Prosecuting Board, P. F. Crosby, 8. G. Tompkins, F. E.
Brockhage, D. J. Prindiville, Geo- H. Anderson; Prose-
cuting Attorney, L. B. Archer.

The famous "pump" gun case has assumed a new phase.
The matter will come up to-day in the United States Cir-
cuit Court before Judge Ross, of Los Angeles, sitting for
Judge Morrow. A writ of habeas corpus was issued this
week commanding Sheriff Taylor, of Marin county, to pro-
duce in court this morning W. A. Marshall, who alleges
that he is unlawfully restrained of his liberty in San Rafael.
He was convicted by a Justice of the Peace and sentenced to
pay a fine of $20, with the alternative of imprisonment in
the County Jail. The case was taken to the Superior Court,
and Judge Angellotti decided the ordinance constitutional.
Marshall alleges in his petition for the writ that he has a
right to kill game in season on his own land with his own
weapon, and that the county ordinance prohibiting the use
of the "pomp gun" interferes with the rights of a citizen of
the United 8tates and is a violation of the fourteenth amend-
ment of the American Constitution. The same point was
made on the hearing in the Superior Court at Sao Rafael,
bat was overruled.

The case recently decided in Judge Angellotti's court in
San Rafael in the interests of game protection is receiving
much attention. One of our exchanges, the New York
Times, gives the matter notice as follows :

"A decision of more importance than a superficial view of
the facts involved would reveal, has just been rendered at
San Rafael, Cal. 8ome months ago an ordinance was passed
making it illegal to use repealing and magazine shot guns in
Marin couoty. With an avowed intention of testing the
legality of this law, Mr. W. A. Marshall, an Oablaud capital-
ist, went into the county with a repeating shotgun and shot a
number of quail. He was arrested and taken before a Jnstice
who fined him $20. The case was immediately appealed to
the Supeiior Court, and referred to Jndge Angellotti. The
Judge, after careful consideration, has upheld the right of
the county to put restrictions on the kinds of weapons to be
used by sportsmen in killing game. Experts agree he de-
clares, that repeating arms are exceptionally destructive, and
that their employment leads inevitably to the extermination
of animal life, even when close seasons are established and
well observed. In support of this opinion the Court cites
the law forbidding the use of seines and of guns of more than
a certain calibre. It is said that Mr. Marshall is really act-
ing for a gun making companv, and that the case will be
carried to the highest courts. The reason for not submitting
to the present decision is a belief on the part of the manu-
facturers that if it stands laws like that of Marin county will
he passed in so many parts of the country as seriously to in-
terfere with tbeir business and its profits. The qnestion is
one that interests sportsmen even more than it does gun-
makers, and doubtless they will note the fate of the appeal
with attention."

The Game Law.

The synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions

of new ordinances added thereto by reason of the many and
various changes in the county game and fish laws, particu-
larly those of recent date and of application in and around

the bay counties.

ThiB synopsis has been frequently copied fin more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
cournals and has also been printed and distributed by busi-
ness houses. While the information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now io-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future it is
suggested that for information of this character a reference
be made to current numbers of the Brreder and Sports
man for the latest and most complete data concerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
have become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from the
Superior Court of Stanislaus county.

The open Beason for shooting quail, dovea, deer and wild dnck as

Benoh Show Notes. James Mortimer to Judge
in This Oity.

A meeting of the Kennel Club bench show committee on
Tuesday evening resulted in the selection of James Mortimer
for judge during the May show. Thie selection, with but
few exceptions, is eminently satisfactory to the intending ex"
hibitors and also to the specialty clubs. The Mechanics'
Pavilion will again be the scene of the canine tourney for
blue ribbons and special prizes. The 8t. Bernard Club of
California, the Pacific Fox Terrier Club and the Bull Ter-
rier Club have officially announced their intention to work
enthusiastically for the success of the Bhow.

Mr. George Raper has accepted an invitation to judge at
the dog show of the Nederland Society, which ie to take
place this spring.

It was rumored that a Pointer and Setter Club would be
organized in this city if the judge chosen for the comiog
show was acceptable to the promoters of the club. We are
curiouB to know if the organization of the club will be per-
fected now that the selection of a judge has been made.

Seattle, Tacoma and Victoria, with possibly Spokane,
Portland and New Westminster will show under P. K. L.
rules this Bpring. The Sacramento Bhow will be held in
conjunction with the 8tate Fair and 8an Jobo will have a
bench show when the County Fair bb held. 8anta Barbara
is yet to be heard from.

The Bull Terrier Club met on Wednesday evening and
made preliminary arrangements for what will be the beat
bench show exhibit of bull terriers ever seen on the Coast.
A committee of three were appointed to confer with the
Kennel Club bench show committee. The list of specials
offered by the club this year will comprise a number of
elegant prizes.

The Late George Blohards.

We regret to chronicle the sad tidiogs telegraphed from
WeBt Point, Miss., to Mr. John E. de Ruyter on Mon ay by
the bereaved wife of George Richards, the well known
trainer and handler and late kennel master at Verona Ken-
nels. Mr. Richards succumbed to an attack of the grip. He
came to the Coast in March, 1898, under engagement to the
Verona Kennels, and from the start his ability and genial
qualities won him many friends. He was a professional
fancier of high attainments, conscientious, reliable and honest,
and in connection with his brother Frank has handled for
the past eight years a number of noted dogs and field trial
winners. Mr. Richards was modest and unassuming in style,
but possessed of a character rich in congeniality and those
other strong qualities that make firm friends.

Mr. de Ruyter feels deeply the loss of one who was en-
deared to him by a stronger sentiment than that engendered
by business affairs.

Mrs. Richards, who baa the sincere sympathy of many
friends out here, has returned to Stewart, Minn., Mr.

Richard's foimer home.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The St. Bernard Club of California held a meeting on
Tuesday eveniDg.

The Verona Kennels' string and also Senator P., the dogs
in charge of the late George Richards, were started for home
on the 19th from West Point, Miss.

Charles Reade, the novelist, called his dog Tonic. Giving
as the reason for applying a charecteristic name to the
animal — that 'it was an excellent mixture of bark, steal and
whine."

Entries for the Westminster Kennel Club bench ebow

Value of Produce Stakes.

Produce stakes are a form of competion which should be
better supported by breeders than ia the case with the e£forte
of most specialty clubs. We are led to draw attention to
what should be accomplished by reading a synopsis of the
results at the English Fox Terrier Club show, held at Derby
recently. The English Fox Terrier Chronicle gives in detail
the amount of money competed for on that occasion and
what each winning owner took as his share. The total
amounts were: For smooths — Class prizes, $665; Produce
and other Btakes, $1290; specials, $245; a total of $2200. For
wires — Class prizes, $570; Produce Stakes, $545; specials,
$162; a total of $1277. The individual winners in smooths
were Mr. Redmond $747, of which $525 was won in the stakes
Mr. Tinne $472, stake wins $295; Mr. Powell, Jr., $346,
ptake wins $100; specials $126. Among other stake money
winners were Mr. Whittaker, $75; Mrs. Bums, $70; Mr.
Doyle, $60; Messrs. Blagg and McDonald, $50. In the wire-
haired division Mr. Raper led oft with $255, stake wins $160;
Mr. Redmond $203, stake wins $167; Duchess of^Newcastle
$140, stake wins $52; Mr. Barth $126, stake wins $105;
Messrs. Brumby and Dry, $110. As there was but one stake
for wires, the Produce, the total shows that it amounted to
$542, and the Produce for smooths was undoubtedly larger'

These figures are astonuding to American breeders, but
they Bhow what may eventually be accomplished by them if
they will all pull together and make liberal entries for
Produce and other early closing stakes for which the initial
outlay is very small. It is the custom here to confine such
Btakes to club members, but the English Fox Terrier Club
throws them open to all, or at least their most important
oneB, such as the Produce Stakes, for brood bitches; Derby,
for dogs of the preceding year; Oaks, for bitches of the pre-
ceding year, and Birthday, for Btud dogs. Entries for these
stakes for 1900 closed on January 31st, but if any of our
specialty clubs are interested in finding out the conditions
they should address Mr. J. C. Tinne, Hon. Sec, Lyming-
ton, Hampshire, England — A. K. C. Gazette.

Smooth Ooated Fox Terriers.

In his series "Pillars of the Stud Book," Mr. J. A. Doyle
has the following important article in the English Kennel
Gazette:

"Not long ago a fox terrier breeder was asked by a friend*
whose recollections of terriers dated from some twenty-five
years back, whether his dogs were mostly of the Jock or
Trap strain. He was told that he might as well ask a modern
politician wbethei he was a Cavalier or a Roundhead.

It is certainly strange that the two strains which Beemed to
have a monopoly of the prize market should have been com-
pletely ousted by two newcomers in the field, the Foiler and
ielvoir lines. The extinction of the Jock blood might have
been foreseen early, and is not, I think, to be regretted
Of all Jock's sons, Old Jester, himself no beauty, was the
only one who Landed on the line with any iuccess. He

feet. He was the son of Rambler, who, in his turn, begot
that excellent bitch, Mr, Turner's Champion Nettle. Nettle
had a brother, Tyrant, and not, I believe, a very remarkable
dog in any way. He, in his turn, begot Pickle II., out of
that beautiful bitch, Olive. 'Remarkable' he certainly was.
He was a very long, low dog, with extraordinarily long head,
legs and feet, whoBe fastness [surpasses all powers of deecrip
tion. To find a parallel one must go beyond the laws of
Nature, and refer to the claws of an heraldic griffin. In
these days no Bane breeder would use such a dog. But there
were times when good blood was rare, and it was often a
choice between a bad dog and a gutter pedigree. Even so, I
doubt whether Pickle would have been given a chance if he
had not belonged to Mr. Turner, who was a fanatical be-
liever in pedigree and inoculated several of his friends with
the same faith. The experiment was justified by the resulti
for Pickle continned to reproduce in a great many cases his
own merits, while many of his stock were quite free from his
special faults. At the same time, I think one can trace a
marked tendency to them in certain kennels into which his
blood enters largely. This has perhaps been interrupted
by the fact that, on the whole, his blood has inbred well
and therefore there waa a temptation to use it freely. Like
Sam and JeBter, both plain representations of good strains
he waB much more successful wilh his daughters than with
his Bons. Of these latter probably the best was Yolo, who
did fairly on the Bhow bench and who appears in the pedigree
of Mr. Vicary's best dogs.

I do not know whether there is anywhere in existence a
descendant of Trap in the direct male line. If ever such a
one should appear showing any individual merits, I cannot
but think that breeders would be well advised to give him a
trial.

There is yet another family which it might be as well to
dispose of before we come to the leading strains of the pres-
ent day. There was at one time a decided set made against
the Buffer blood from their heavy ears, 'houndy' aspect and
general lack of smartness and terrier character. Those
charges were no doubt true. Yet I think even the detractors
would now admit that without that blood we should be badly
off. A sire who could beget such a terrier as Buflett, perhaps
aB good a one taken all through aB we have ever seen, and
that from a dam of no beauty, must have had some sub-
stantial merit about him, and time has shown that the merit
was not evanescent. Three of our most successful kennels
are largely indebted to the Buffer blood. Mr. Vicary's
kennel is mainly built up on Busy, whose dam, Damsel, was
by Buffer, and he has brought in more of the blood through
Buffett's grandBires, Vedette and Volo. Mr. Redmond's
DominisBa, on whom the success of his kennel has so largely
turned, goes back in direct female line to Damsel's own
sister, Dainty. He, too, has brought in more Buffett blood
through Pitcher and Dominie. Lastly, it was from a Buff
bitch, Rollick, that Mr. Clarke bred Ruse and Ransome.
the dams of Result and Regent; and it was by combining
the blood of Buff's grandson, Hopbloom, wilh two strains of
his own blood, that he produced that very high class bitch,
Rachel. Indeed, if it had not been for Buffett, I do not
think it would have been possible to in-breed, as we all have
done, to the Belvcir blood, without intensifying its inherent
faults of weak ankles and open feet.

Moreover, that substantial, workmanlike build, and those
hound-like legs and feet which were the characteristics of
Mr. Burbridge's kennel, were largely derived from Buffer
blood through Buff.

There was yet another line of Buffer blood, now, I fear,
quite extinct, but which did enough in its day to deserve
mention. Ivan was a bitch of old kennel blood. Buffett
begat Vulcan, a good dog in his day, well made and stylish,
with excellent bone, but no doubt somewhat lucky to win
the F. T. C. Grange Challenge Cup. He left a son, Vishnu,
from a daughter of Belgrave Joe; he might, I think, with
belter chances, have done much for the breed of terriers.
He possessed that rather rare combination, abundant terrier
character, and a jaw bit of the very best sort, with first rate
legB and feet. His best son was Beggarman, from a bitch
very much inbred to the Belvoir b train. He unluckily was
a very uncertain Btock-getter, and the few pups that he did
leave were no credit to him.

So far I have been dealing with extinct families, and per-
haps some of my readers may think it is time to ''cut the
cackle and come to the 'osses," to tell them something about
the living strain, particularly those we are breeding to-day.

At the same time it is not mere antiquarianism to try to
understand aB clearly as may be the nature and characteris-
tics of all the lines which enter into modern pedigrees.

It is certainly difficult to picture to oneself what fox ter-
riers would have been to-day but for that lucky moment
when Mr. Turner unearthed Belgrave Joe.

He was never shown, but assuming that both his ears
would pass muster, on which point there were doubts, I
think very few that we have ever seen could have beaten
him; certainly when he was twelve years old he might with
perfect safety have challenged any dog of not less than half
his own age. His Buccess waB very fairly distributed be-
tween sons and daughters, though as is almost always the
case with all animals, in his old age his successes were
chiefly with the former.

Curiously enough the successes of his sons as sires was not
at all in direct proportion to their own merit. I am inclined
to think that the best of his eons all round, si/.?, compactness'
bone and symmetry all taken into account, was Richmond
Jack. He was, however, a deplorable failure at the Btud,
while hie own brother, an abortive-looking little creature
with a pink nose, called Dugdale Joe, was very fairly suc-
cessful.

Many judges would, I have no doubt, place Spice in front
of his half brother Richmond Jack. In head and general
smartness of appearance he certainly had the superiority,
but his jumped up quarters and lack of length behind, to my
thinking turned the scale against him. His dam Clove was
an unattractive shoddy little animal, but she had excellent
legs and feet which Spice not only inherited but transmitted
to his descendants. Immediately he did no great things at
the stud. But if anyone will take the trouble to analyze the
pedigree of Despoiler and his daughter Dame Fortune, he
will not have much doubt as to the permanent value of
Spice's blood. This was mainly due to his alliance with
Belgian Joe's first daughter Olive, from whom he begot
Brokenhurst Spice and Olive II. No doubt it was the fact
that Clove's and Olive's dams were unrelated alike to Bel
grave Joe and to one another, which not only made this in.
cestuous breeding safe, but made furthei continuance on the
same lines profitable. For it is a noteworthy fact that
Brokenhurst Spice wbb twice over mated with his own
grand-daughters. The result of one alliance is tc be found
in the pedigree of Cowley Premier, the other in that of
Compton Dollar. It is rather singular that Compton Dollar's
best winner bo far, Capucin, is from a Cowley Premier
bitch.

But permanently valuable though the blood of Spice may
be, he was certainly surpassed in rapidity and extent of suc-
cess by his half-brother Brokenhurst Joe, a dog with lighter
bone for his size and less well shaped, though not bad legs
and feet, but with more reach of quarter. This blood gain
was not carried on through bis best son. That title belongs
beyond doubt to Brokenhurst Sting, a rather light framed
dog and in his younger days leggy, and wanting in middle
piece, but full of terrier character, and faultless in neck and
shoulders. He had, too, that lasting power which is so
characteristic of the Belvoir blood, and at ten years old waB
as good as ever. He was also a dog of quite exceptional
gamenese. This waB tran&mitted to his stock, but unfortun-
ately, not his good looks. He got a fair proportion of win-
ners, but none of high class and there was a total absence of
uniformity and type about them. HiB daughters have, how-
ever, to some extent carried on the line. One of them, who
was exported to Germany— Footlights— bred many winners
there. Another is to be found in the pedigree of Dudley
Starcher and D'Orsay, and a third, Blarney, from a Foiler
bitch, occasionally turns up in the ancestry of a winner.

He was, however, quite eclipsed at the stud by another son
of Joe, Brokenhurst Rally, whose blood on the dam's Bide
was not unlike that of Sling.as the former was from a grand-
daughter, the latter from a daughter of Hornet. Rally was
of about the eame size as Sting — nearer the ground and more
compact, rather better in ankles, but not nearly so stylish
and attractive. Judiciously mated by Mr. Clarke, he begot
Roysterer, a neat, terrier-like little dog, from Jess, a bitch of
good, but not fashionable blood. She was by Grip, a for-
gotten but meritorous Bon of Foiler'ssire Willie, and her dam
was by Old Pickle, of whom I have already spoken. Bally's
other successful alliance was with the Buff bitch Rollick, to
whom I have already referred.

THE FARM.

The Agricultural End of the County
Fair.

The visitor to the county fair muBt be struck
with the fact that the average exhibition of
the kind is not a purely agricultural one, and
that there are Beveral departments, some of
which unfortunately too often encroach on
the others. As an illustration, one fair asso-
ciation permits side showB and fakirs with
their tom-toms and voices to block the main
avenue to the stock departments, much to the
disgust of the horsemen whoee charges have to
ran the gauntlet of such an array of infernal
noises. Again we see the trotting brigade
take from one-half to three-fourths of the
association's money, and, of course, the other
departments are starved.

What is the purpose of the county fair?
(1) To improve the agriculture of the dis
trict and educate the farmer. (2) To foster
a spirit of emulation in the production of the
best either in stock, dairy products, domestic
products and grain. (3) To afford a day's
outing, a pleasure jaunt in fact, a variety of
pleasures being furnished to suit the various
tastes. (4) To advertise the good stock of
the district, and to be the kindergarten, aB it
were, to the high school, the State Fair. (5)
To demonstrate, by means of up to date stock
and implements, to the townsmen that agri-
culture is advancing.

The business end is usually well looked
after, but is the agricultural end as well
looked after? No. Where is the weak Bpol?
There are several, but from a judge's stand-
point it is the prize list. Judges are not as
hard to get nowadays as heretofore, due
mainly to our agricultural colleges; the
adoption of single judge system has proved a
great help to the county fair by reducing the
outlay for judges. The prize lists of the
county fairs of Wisconsin (other 8tateB are no
exception) are aB a rule, not up to date. What
is the reason for such a slate of things ? Be-
cause the control of the classification has not
been put into the hands of up to date stock-
men.

In the first place, it is wrong to offer prizes
to stallions of mixed breeding, not registered
nor eligible to registration. No prizes should
be offered for general purpose stallions. Car-
riage and road horses should not be classed
together nor shown together, as they repre-
sent two distinct types. In the general pur-
pose and draft classes it might be well to state
the weights required in each class and thus
save the judge the necessity of finding classes
for the animals. This would thus further the
educational value of the prize list. Study the
markets in getting up the prize list and offer
prizes for the classes of animals in remunera-
tive demand. Too often we find the carriage
or coach class totally neglected, the roadsters
being the favored ones The prize list should
be gotten up irrespective of wire pullers.

The introduction of a rule looking to the
awarding of prizes to the get of pure bred
Birea only! Bather radical? Granted; but
none the less desirable. An association has
no right to pervert the money of the State to
pay prizes on scrubs, either bulls, rams, boars
or stallions. Why? Because those moneys
are only given for the purpose of improving
the stock of a district, not to find out how
many me.i are foolish enough to use scrub
sires. No one expects that every farmer
should use pure bred sires.

For a small sum a good cut representing an
animal of the class called for, together with
the weights, size and possibly an average mar-
ket price, could be placed at the head of each
class. For example, under draft horses, a
cut of a typical drafter, the weight and size
desirable and the average market price would
tend to educate; the cut would cause a more
thorough perusal of the prize Hat and would
interest the young people. It should also be
insisted on that animals unworthy either in
type or fitting, should not be awarded a prize.
There is no excuse for a mare being brought
into a show ring with hoofs untrimmed or
split, or a miserable "critter" with neither
conformation, meat, breeding nor apparent
usefulness. Some people wait to find out as
10 the probable competition in a class. If

none, they at once enter an animal, andQif
called to task, reply: "It's to fill up the show;"
and incidentally the owner's pocket.

The fair association should provide proper
show rings, by the use of posts and rope, so
that the stock and judge will not be bothered
by the on-lookers. The track should be re-
served in the .mornings for the judging of
carriage horses and roadsters and teams. The
race horses should be kept off the track during
that time, about three hours, say, from 10
A. M. until 1 p. m. The judging of the car-
riage horses and roadsters should be done in
front of the grandstand — it pleases both
owner and people, besides being educational.
No fee should be charged at that time for the
grandstand; let the money come from the
horse racing in the afternoon. The hard
track, or level ground in a similar condition,
is essential in judging those horses at the
county fair, as unsoundnesses are then more
likely to be revealed and the gaits properly
shown than when walking through long grass_
The Board of Directors Bhould contain a libt
eral sprinkling of up to date stockmen and
incidentally here is a Bphere of usefulness for
the agricultural college man. The prize list
is a study in itself, and when making it up

How to Top the Market.

Origin of Polled Durhams.

[Breeders Gazette, 1
The amount of misinformation concerning
the origin of breeds abroad in the country is
somewhat remarkable. It would appear that
"the village sage," the wiseacre who dispenses
store-box knowledge with liberal tongue to
any audience he may assemble, reserves his
wierdest work for the construction of theories
concerning the origin and characteristics of
breeds. We have had personal acquaintance
with these local oracles and many a bit of
'information" poured into our youthful ears
from such sources had to be unlearned when
fountains of true knowledge were later tapped.
Probably more fiction has been coined anent
the origin of the hornless breeds of cattle
than concerning any other variety of live
stock. The Foiled Durhams have provoked
much discussion and speculation. It matters
not with what frequency the facts connected
with the origin of this variety are stated in-
quiries on this point are reiterated with the
greatest regularity, generally coupled with
the expression of a theory. The favorite
theory seems to be that Polled Durhams
sprang from a cross between the Short-horn
and Angus breeds. We have never been able
to trace the source of this error, but it has
been given currency in some parts of the
agricultural press and by that means crossed
the water where it has been gravely advocated
by high authority as the true genesis of this
hornless type.

Recently the inquiry again reached this
office and the inquirer — a Missouri Stockman
— "claims Polled Durhams are across between
8hort-horns and Angus." This claim has not
the slightest foundation in fact. Polled Dur.
hams were not originated or improved by
Angus crosses. They were developed along
two lines: one originating from a pure bred
hornless Short-horn (called a "sport" in the
technical terms of the law of heredity) and
the other line representing the use of pure
bred Short-horn bulls on native "muley"
cows. Animals descended from the pure bred
hornless Short-horn cow are called Double
Standard Polled Durhams, because they are
eligible to record in the American Short-horn
Herd Book as well as in the Polled Durham
Herd Book. The ideal animal to which
breeders of Polled Durhams are working is a
cow with all the characteristics of the Short-
horns except the horns, No blood other
than Short-horn and native "muley" has been
used in building up this Aariety.

The best breed of hens on earth can't make
eggs unless you give them something to work
with. Egg production depends very largely
upon the food supply.

New Creamery.

Mr. Kerrick of Illinoie, who bred and fed
the "Doddies" sold a few weeks ago on the
Chicago market for $8.26, has given in Breed-
ers Gazette an account of his processes and
experiences that must bo interesting to both
breeders and feeders of cattle. He was never
induced to believe that a bull that was not a
good individual, though having an excellent
line of anceBtry, could give satisfactory re-
sults. He had registered cows, as good as he
could get, and his bulls were among the best
of their breed, but he used his best balU in
getting animals to be developed into prime
beeves, just as he used them on his registered
cows to produce great breeding stock.

The dams were not neglected while carry-
ing their calves, but were fed and cared for in
such a way that the unborn calves were well
sustained and developed through the dam
and were born strong and shapely. This was
done by occasional change of pasture. While
grass was abundant they were dependent upon
it alone. At other seasons they had corn
fodder, timothy and clover hay, oats, corn and
straw. After birth the calves were permitted
to run with their dams and had all the milk
for six or seven months.

The weaning process was conducted in such
a way as to prevent any check in growth.
The calves were taught to eat before wean-
ing, their food first being ground. The feed
consisted always in part of oil-meal, ground
oats, corn meal, bran and sometimes whole
corn and shelled oats when they were old
enough to eat whole grain. They did not
have all these at one time, but always had
more than one kind, changes being made con-
tinuously. The roughage was such as they
liked best. When not on grass, they had
corn fodder, clover hay and straw. The
changes were frequent so as to tempt the
appetite. For the first fifteen months they
were not pushed, the object being only to
give thrifty growth and keep them in good
condition. From the age of eighteen months
ap to twenty-six to thirty-two months, they
were kept on full feed.

The cattle live outdoors, but had shelters to
which they could retreat during stormy
weather, and in the summer months when
flies were bad, the two year old steers, then
heavy with fat, had darkened barns or shade
to protect them from flies.

By the processes used these animals never
ceased to grow and never lost their early fat
In this and their breeding was the secret of
their perfect development.

Tne Brown & Brandon creamery iu Hicks
valley is now in full and smooth running
order. It is consuming about 6000 pounds of
milk per day, all supplied by the cows on the
ranch.

The building is about forty-five feet square,
built upon a slope, so that all movements of
the material from the weighing in of the milk
to the weighing out of the butter are arranged
;0 be assisted by gravity.

The building is erected in stepB of about
four feet, taking the milk from the wagons at
the upper side, and from there it runs into a
weighing machine, and then into an 800-
gallon vat. From the separator the cream
runs into a 400-gallon vat, and then passes
into a number 5 Victor churn and butter
worker. The output is at present twenty-one
boxes of butter per week, and the quality pro-
nounced top-notch.

The plant includes a twenty-horse power
boiler, an eight-horse power engine, two Alpha
No. 1 turbine separators, No. 5 Victor churn
and butter worker, circular saw for cutting
wood, vats, scales, traps and tools, making it
one of the best equipped outfits in the State.
Messrs. Brown & Brandon intend giving
the dairy business all the care and attention
the law allows, and are doing things up in a
first class style for an article of goods that
warrants that outlay. — Petaluma Courier.

Good Prices for Stock.

The following valuable recipes are some
simple veterinary remedies for horses con-
tributed by J. H. Wilkens to the Denver
Field and Farm: "For the benefit of your
readers I will state that oil of tar has cared
cough and distemper of the worst kind among
my horses. The dose for a horse is one table-
spoonful on the tongue once every two days
For coltB give correspondingly less. In very
urgent cases give once or twice a day. If the
blood is in bad condition give a handful of oil
cake in the feed twice a duy. For scours in
horses give one tablespoonful of baking soda
in the feed every two days. For scours in
colts a friend laughingly told me to wrap a
cord several times around the coil's tail as
near the root as possible. I tried it in the
same spirit and twenty-four hours later the
scours had stopped. I have tried this time
and again and it has never failed. Last
winter a heifer eight months old had scours
so bad that it would not eat and was so weak
it could hardly stand. I wrapped binding
twine five times in the same manner and in
less than twenty-fours hours the heifer was
munching hay."

The sale of the property on the D. E.
Knight farm near 8utter City last week was
well attended and there was some lively bid-
ding. Of the 3200 sheep sold ewes brought
as high as $4 70 apiece and yearlings $3.76.
Milch cows sold at $52, yearlings at $20, steers
at $33 50 and stock cattle at $28.50.— Wheat-
land Four Corners.

In praising the Shorthorn type as a breed
C. E. Leonard of Missouri says: "Without
controversy the breed which has longest been
tested and most successfully combated all com-
petitors in its various products is entitled to
lasting popularity. Statistics of the great
shows, both in England and our country in
breed contests add greatly to the public favor
of these cattle. As a combined animal the
Shorthorn has no rival. It has successfully
competed with all other breeds under the
various tests man's ingenuity has devised. It
has made the greatest gain in the feed lot, the
most and best meat, the best and greatest flow
of milk best suited to commercial purposes,
and is wonderfully adapted to all the vicissi-
tudes of climates. It flourishes in the frigid
zone of the north as well as in the sunny
clime of the south. As to the number of
Shorthorn cattle in comparison with other
beef breeds the story is soon told and is no
less favorable. The following statistics are
from various herd books of the United States
and Canada and include all registration up to
January 1st of the present year: Galloways
16,365, Angus 37,059, Hereford 105,091; total
of these breedB 158,515; Shorthorns 46y,S51."

An Australian farmer has brought fifty
cows from his country to Manila, and although
the cost of transporting them was twice their
value in Australia, he is making a good thiog
out of them. He gets fifty cents a quart for
the milk, and can not supply the demand.
The first reserve United Stales hospital pays
him two thousand dollars in gold a month for
milk. These cows are the first cattle in the
Philippines, aside from the native water
buffalo.

them gave it ap bb a bad job without trying
again. Yet here and there a man stack to it
and with such encouragement they are plant
ing more. One man pat ont teo acres this
winter and it is coming op as thick as hair on
a dog's back. This man has quite a little
already, and says that if he had a qaarter
section seeded to it, with as much stock as it
would keep, he would be able to ride aronod
in his carriage all the time. It has been
found by a grower at Traver ihat this salt
bush is very rich in butter fat, the te^t show-
ing as high as five per cent, when cows on
other feed are yielding 3 75 to 4 Wealth is
in reach of most of ub if we only had grit
and wisdom enough to reach out and take
hold of it.

Tha demand for mules ts the Transvaal
may prove to be disadvantageous, in that it
will create a male famine in the South. Since
the beginning of the British-Boer war Great
Britain baa been scouring the Southern Stales
for mules which could euccessfully stand the
voyage to South Africa. The heavy exports
coming near the time when just sach animals
were Deeded for harvesting purposes, as well
as other farm work, has impeded the work of
farmers in some of the Sou hern States, who
in lieu of something better, have been com-
pelled to use inferior animals.

HAMBLETONIAN WILKES 1679.
The Only Son of Geo. Wilkes 2:22 in California

npO SIRE a trotter with a record of 2:08}£, to liave
* five representatives in the 2:15 list, and to be one
of the most uniform sires of handsome horses in Amer
ica, is recommendation enough for any stallion, and
when the stallion is known to be a son of Geo. Wilkes
2:22, out of an American Star mare, the recommenda-
tion need go no further Such is Ilanibletonian VYilkes>
whose likeness is presented above. The Wilkes family
is most wonderfully prepotent in producing 2:15 speed,
the kincl that wins the big stakes and purses, and trots
on and breeds on. Geo. Wilkes has 968 descendants in
this exclusive list now and as the Wilkes and Elec-
tioneers are being bred to more than any other, it will

not be long until the 2:15 descendants of these two
families will be in the tens of thousands. Ilamhle-
tonian Wilkes is the premier stallion of Green Meadow
Stock Farm at Santa Clara, and has attracted great
attention since breeding has been revived in this State
by the uniform beauty of his get. Since his daughter,
Maud Murray, was sold to European partie', letters
have arrived at the (arm in vast numbers from across
the water, asking if there were any more like her to be
had here, and California breeders have been so im
pressed with the get of this stallion that they have
nearly fdled his book already.
It is but little over an hour's run by rail from San

Francisco to Santa Clara, and owners who contemplate
breeding their mares this yearcannot spend a pleauantei
or more profitable day than by visiting the Green
Meadow St"ck Farm and looking over the get of Hani-
bletonian Wilkes to be seen there. They are from
mares of different breeding and conformation, but their
uniform good looks will at once impress the observer
with the fact that this son of Geo. Wilkes posses
power of reproducing hie own splendid proportions in
his offspring with great regularity. In this day when
size and style and good conformation arc absolutely
necessary to get the top prices of the market, stallions
like Hambletonian Wilkes should not be overlooked.

[Maech 3, 1900

Sunday at Alameda.

There ie always something of interest to harness horse ad-
mirers going on at the Alameda track on Sunday afternoons.
Residents of Oakland and Alameda who own good roadsters
take advantage of the mile straight away there to give their
horses a brash at speed to cart or buggy, while on the oval
tiack from two to a doz;o horses can be seen hitched to bike
or road carts and being given fast miles or quarters as the
case may be. The veteran Monroe Salisbury was there last
Suadav morning, aid as he stood on the stretch critically
eyeing the trotters and pacars going by, he noticed that quite
a number of the drivers were men with more gray hair and
years than the majority who drive on the tracks and he
remarked:

"How the old fellows like to get out behind a horse when
the sun gets hot enough to warm their backs and take the
rheumatism out of their j >ints."

Budd Doble, whose name will be remembered as long as
the American trotting horse is bred, was there, having ha i a
couple of horses Bbipped to Alameda from Gilroy the day
previous. One is a big bay gelding by Aptos Wilkes that
has a lot of speed and is as fine a specimen of a gentleman's
road horse as one sees in a week's travel. The other was a
sorrel by Dexter Prince, and though not large has a lot of
good looks and can step a pretty lively gait. These horses
are owned by a San Francisco gentleman and may go East to
some of the spring sales. Both were bred on Mr. A. B.
Spreckels' Aptos 8tock Farm.

Mr. P. W. BelHngall, the well known custjm house
broker, was at the track with a four year old gelding by
Knight out of a mare by Secretary. This gelding is one
of the handsomest horses driven in Alameda county and can
step a 2:30 gait very handily, wilh lots of style and action.
He is a large fellow, dark bay, carries bis head high and
needs no boots. He ought to make a very fast trotter*
Mr. Belliogairs son Ralph came to the track with a mare by
Secretary that was very handsome and stylish, and it is said
pulled a cart with two in it a quarter in 37} seconds a few
days previous, but she had cast a shoe just before reaching
the track Sunday so could not be speeded. Mr. Dol -m, the
grain merchant of Oakland, worked out with Mr. Bellingall
with a pacer by Azmoor, bat the Knight gelding seemed to
be the faster of the two.

Capt. Watson was out with his handsome pair of mares,
one by Lyn wood, the other her daughter by Nutwood Wilkes,
but did not give them any fast work.

The old time trainer A. L. Hinds was giving a good look-
ing young trotter a little sharp work that looked good enough
to enter in the races.

None of the regular trainers were at work, but were all
taking their Sunday rest. Messrs. Nelson, .Robinson, Lap-
ham, Ward and others all have formidable strings that have
been mentioned heretofore in these culums. Arthur W.
2:11 J, in Nelson's string is said to be showing more speed
than ever this year.

Gr. Lapham was hauling hay with a handsome bay stallion
that bad lots of thoroughbred in his looks and make up.
This horse that was being put to practical use waBSt. Eric, a
Kentucky bred horse by St. Just, son of Electioneer. His
dam is by Ericson and grandam by imported Tranby. Stand-
ing 16 2 and weighing about 1250, St. Eric is a magnificent
specimen of a horse. We understand he will be placed in
the stud in Contra Costa county this year and if the farmers
of that section who have large mares will breed to him they
will get colts that will sell for good prices as soon as they
are grown. St. Eric comes from families that breed size,
style and good disposition and the thoroughbred blood he
gets from Tranby gives that finish that is not only desirable
but necessary to bring good prices in the market.

Old AUamont with his twenty-five years resting lightly
upoD his back, looked as slick as a mole when led out of his
stall last 8unday for inspection. 1 doubt if there is a horse
of his age that is any better preserved than he, and he looks
good for a half dozen years yet. His get show bo much
quality that one cannot but think that the thoroughbred
blood in him is as prepotent as any other. He will
have his book full very soon for this season as he is limited
to twenty mares. He certainly looks in better strength and
vigor than at any time during the past three years.

C. E. Perkins was at the track with a two year old Diablo
colt that had only been harnessed a half dozen times. The
little fellow is a trotter, but Mr. Perkins Bays he shows an
inclination to pace and he certainly looks like one that
wonld go fast at tbe literal gait. His dam is by Dictator
Sidney and the colt shows his good breeding in his style and
action.

Mr. Lapham says there are many inquiries about Secre-
tary, and be expects to do quite a heavy season with this son
of Director. The more one hears about Secretary's speed as
a yearling, the greater the regret felt that he could not
have been more carefully handled and trained. There
are many who believe he would certainly have been
Director's fastest representative, barring none. Captain
Ben Harris says that Trainer Vail showed Secretary up to
him once when a yearling and that he held the watch while
Vail sr/eeded tbe colt a quarter. The Captain is as accurate
as any n an that ever held a lime piece and when the quarter
was finished told Vail that he would not have allowed a colt
of his o be driven that fast even though he could do it, as

such speed was enough to tear any yearling to pieces. The
Captain's watch showed better than 32 seconds for the
quarter.

Trainer Robinson has a good looking big bay gelding in
his charge at Alameda, that a week or two ago was operated
on by a veterinary surgeon for a tumor. The growth was on
the buttock and an incision six or seven inches long was
necessary to remove it. The tumor weighed nearly four
pounds but the wound closed nicely and there will be scarcely
a trace of a scar. Dr. Carpenter performed the operation,
and it was certainly wall done.

It is often asked why the Alameda Driving Association
does not hold another day of matinee racing. This club has
given some excellent programs of sport in the past and now
that the harness horse business is booming it should show
some of its former spirit.

The Alameda track is certainly as perfect a training track
as there is anywhere on earth. Horses never go sore there
unlesB worked to death and it is a great place to work young
horses. It is a pity there is not better accommodation in
tbe way of stalls. A hundred more good box stalls could be
rented there easily if erected by some enterprising person on

laud adjoining the track.

The Livermore Stallion Show.

Something Doing at "Woodland.

Livermoee, February 26, 1900.

It has been several years since Livermore valley attempted
to do anything in the way of holding a horse show, although
at one time no place of its siz3 in the State could make a
better showing in the horse line, and there have been parades
in Livermore when it would take all of a quarter of a
million dollars to purchase the horses in line. It would
now seem that owing to the efforts of N. D. Dutcher, Andrew
Block, Joseph Martin and Jos. Blondin, four men who never
lost faith in the horse, that the custom will again come into
prominence, for on last Saturday a horse show that was but
little advertised was held in Livermore and the success of
the same surprised everybody.

Early in the day all roads leading to town were lined with
rigB and by 12 o'clock one of the largest crjwds seen in a
long time was on the streets. At 1:30 p. m the horses were
called out and paraded through the principal streets, after
which each horse was led into a ring and Mr. Louis Schafler,
of Oakland, gave a description of him as to age, breeding,
record, owner, etc., after which the horses were taken from
the streets to their stables, where each was followed by his
various admirers who pointed out his good qualities and
discussed his breeding until late in the day.

Among the prominent horsemen in attendance were W. W.
Mendenball, Oscar Harris, H. B. Goecken, George Meese,
Geo. Grey, Wm. Murray, Louis Schaffer, JaB. Sutherland,
Fred. Chadbourne and many others.

The procession was led by A. W. Feidler'e stallion Guard
2:22}, a grandson of Director, being by Guide. His owner
believes that he will yet trot better than 2:12 and as he has
not been worked for some lime, he has been placed in the
hands of JaB Sutherland, who will prepare him for the
coming circuit.

H. W. Meek's handsome Wilkes stallion Welcome 2:10}
came next and it was the universal opinion of all who saw him
that for a perfect horse he met every requirement, and as his
breeding and record stand among the foremost breeders will
know where to go if they want-to breed to a race horse whose
ancestors were race horses and whose cffsprings will be race
horses. A well matched span of three year old colts sired
by Welcome came next and their perfect forms, stylish
action, size, etc., told more for Welcome as a sire than any-
thing that might be said of him.

Diablo 2:09}, in charge of his owner, was next seen, and
the handsome son of Chas. Derby and Bertha who has
proven to be possessed of great speed and whose colts are
among the best to be found had hosts of admirers.

At the closing out sale of the late Doctor Hicks, N. D.
Dutcher of Livermore purchased a yearling colt named
Warren by Walker 8136, son of Prompter 2305, and that he
made a find no one who saw Warren with five of his colts in
the parade can doubt, for a better looking family would be
hard to find.

The other trotting stallions shown were John Frirk's Jack
Nelson Jr. and J. H. Dutcher's Diablo Jr.

The draft stallions were A. Block's imp. Raglan, J. Mar-
tin's imp. Origon, Jos. Blondin's Sultan, Peter Souemet's
Black King, H. M. Christensen's Le Dard, Wm. Bond's imp.
Benoit, E 6. Allen's Joe Reno, J. C. Martin's Origon Jr.,
N. D. Dutcher's Jumbo.

F. D. Carneal of the Martin ranch showed a span of his
farm horses that were sired by Bsglan and owned by A.
Block of Livermore; tbeir combined weight was 3610
pounds. M.

Charley Doble will train for George Tod, of Youngs-
town, Ohio, this year. Lord Vincent 2:08|, tbe Charter
Oik and Transylvania Stake winner, is said to be looking
far better than he did at this time last year, and it is ex-
pected that he will go to the stallion mark the coming season.
Doble is also prepariog Gold Lace 2:24} by Gold Leaf; a
green mare by Gold Leaf; a four year old colt by Axtell,
dam by Jersey Wilkes & five year old gelding by Axtell,
which Btepped a quarter in 33 seconds last spring; Miss Guy
by Edeehill and a chestnut mare bv Dexter Prince out of
Lula Wilkes, dam of Advertiser 2:15}. On the Fourth of
July, Doble contemplates sending Lord Vincent to beat the
half-mile track wagon record, 2:13, now held By Wynema,
made over the Toledo track.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman: — I made a trip to
the Woodland track Monday morning and with the number
of horses there and the work being done everything presents
a lively appearance and the coming meet will be a sure suc-
cess by reason of the active interest taken by the people of
Yolo.

Det Bigelow is comfortably situated at the track and has
got Borne crackerj ackeB, Det says it's going to take a race
horse to beat him too. Among them is Valeria 2:19; Bonnie
B. by Diablo, a five year old pacer, dam by Alex Button
second dam Fredericha by Fred Low; a three year old pacer
by Diablo, dam Lucy B., and a two year old filly by Han-
ford Medium, out of dam of K elly Briggs 2:10}.

Walter Mastin has qui e a large string, all green and
pretty speedy green ones too. Among them is Dynamite by
Dynamo, he by Falrose, dam by Brigadier, that Btepped a
miie at Sacramento in 2:23} last fall.

Mamie H., a two year old filly by Falrose, dam Miss
Moony by Brigadier, is "a beaut," and her prospects are very
bright.

Rosalie by Falrose, dam Nora 8., by Sable Wilkes, is also
a good one.

Mr. Mastin is preparing Los Angeles 2:23} by Woodlark
for the races this year.

Lady Bose by Falrose, dam Lady Harper by Alaska, a son
of Electioneer, and Yolo Boy by Falrose, dam Blondie by
Hector, are both fine lookers.

Faustina is the pride of the Mastin string of eleven, a four
year old by Falrose, dam by Blackbird; second dam by Wald-
stein; third dam by Signal.

Jim Cummiogs has six green ones that are improving
every day. Joe W. by Waldstein, 6am Belle Button, three
years old, is one of the best of the lot.

When Smuggler Beat Goldsmith Maid.

Several old timers were trotting the old races over yester-
day in the office in the tower and several mighty interesting
reminiscences were told. One veteran patron of the tmf, said :
"The most exciting trotting event I ever saw was the free
for all trot at Cleveland, in August, 1896, when Smuggler
beat Goldsmith^Maid, the then queen of the trotting turf.
The Maid bad been going up and down the country beating
everything that came her way, and it occasioned no end of
excitement when her colors were lowered. Smuggler was a
converted pacer, a big, powerful horse, very fast but uncer-
tain. He was driven by Charles Marvin, Goldsmith Maid
was, of course, driven by Budd Doble. Judge Fullertoo, and
another horse who e name I've forgotten, were in the race;
but as they cut no figure in the result, it doesn't matter about
them. There was an immense crowd to see the flyers. The
weather was beautiful and the horses all appeared to be in
perfect condition. At the end of the fourth heat the race
stood, Smuggler, two heats; Goldsmith Maid two heats, and
the crowd was in fever heat.

" 'Can it be possible that the Maid is going to be beaten?'
was heard on every side. And the talent did not know
which way to turn.

"When they were called out for the final and decisive heat,
people held their breath, for they knew they were about to
witness a terrific struggle between the mare that had won so
many races and a rival that had demonstrated tbat he could
go like an unchained thunderbolt. When Doble drove
around from the stable past the grandstand, he tried to look
smilingly confident as he defied his cap in acknowledgment
of the applause, but his face looked drawn and pale. It
was apparent be was nervous and anxious. Marvin's face
was full of grim determination and his horse seemed to
sniff victory afar off, so widely extended were his quivering
nostrils.

After they got the word, Smuggler, the Maid and Judge
Fullerton kept pretty well together- for the first half, but
after that Marvin and Doble began to urge their animals a
little. Just as they turned into the homestretch, Marvin let
Smuggler out. But a long drawn "Oh! "went up from
5000 throats as it was seen that Doble and Mace had
pocketed Smuggler between their horses. But Marvin was
equal to the emergency. He lifted Smuggler right out of
the pocket, and how he did Bend him down the stretch I It
really seemed as though the brawny animal was flying
through the air, so tremendous were his strides as be
thundered under the wire a clean winner, while the homely
old Maid came close at his heels, trying her utmost to win,
Doble'e whip cutting her dripping flanks at every stride she
made.

"Smuggler won the race and was bedecked with flowers.
Budd and Mace looked glum and the crowd yelled itself
hoarse."— N. Y. Telegraph.

Matinee Racing at Los Angeles.

"Will Continue Breeding Trotters.

The Blood of King Tom.

I" Los Angeles Herald, February 23d.]
A good day, a fair card and a large crowd of epectatore
signalized the Loa Angelea Driving Club's celebration of
Washington's Birthday yesterday. Notwithstanding the
dozen attractions elsewhere in the city and vicinity the big
grind stand at Agricultural Park was more than half tilled
and the fence along the track was lined with buggies. The
races themselves were not blood curdling but were sufficiently
interesting in many ways to hold the attention of the specta-
tors to the end.

The program contained five events for trotters and one for
runners. The first race decided was a mile match race in
which were entered A. W. Herwig's Beveta, R. V. Redpath's
Myrtle and Godfrey Frilz'a Bell Green, drawn aa named.
At the second break they got away to a straggling start,
Myrtle and Green on even teras and Beveta up in the air.
At the quarter Green had opened up a gap of ten lengths
from Myrtle. At the half he had made it twenty and won
in a dog trot, pulled up, by 200 yards of daylight from
Myrtle. Beveta was out of sight in the rear. Time 2:41.

The half mile, two in three, waa cbanged to a mile dash)
D. J. Desmond's Medico and Dr. W. W. Hitchcock'a Dewey
starting. This race waa exciting for awhile but Medico broke
several timesand lost to Dewey by fourlergths. Time 2:28|.

The third race waa a mile daGh, free-for-all, in which were

Bonner Farm is not to be discontinued although all the
horses belonging to Robert Bonner, with the exception of
Maud S , have been eold at auction. On the Eubject of
Bonner Farm, in Weetcbeeter, Mr. Kobert E. Bonner makes
the following statement:

"In looking about to secure a stallion to place at the head
of Bonner Farm, we determined to secure the best. We de-
cided to buy a stallion whose pedigree had been established,

'' Vigilant " in the London Sportsman writes of the King
Tom blood in England as follows:

"Id spite, however, of all his successes it would puzzle
anyone now to find a stallion in England descending in tail

people there are horse enthusiasts and that Nelson 2:09 is
still their idol :

as King Eric. Kinglike, now dead, was never a pronounced
success in the stud, though he was credited with L'Alouette,
a Futurity winner: Queenlike II., and other winners. King
Eric's opportunity in the stud is somewhat limited yet his
two year olds of last season, seven in number, won twenty
races.

"There are some sons of Great Tom in the stud, but
Tyrant is the moBt prominent one, yet his succesB as a sire is
not in keeping with what might have been expected from
his prestige as a race horse and his opportunities in the stud.
The best sons of King Ban were Ban Fox and King Fox,
the former dying at four years old and the latter at two.
Ban Fox, however, sired Montana, a winner of the Suburban
and a sire of five two year old winners last year of fourteen
races, amorg them being Montanic and Motley. Other

down and counting nickels witb strings tied to ibem.
Instead of waiting until old age has worn out rhe
strings they have come to the relief of the town and set
an example that will be of f-ir-reaching benefit to that
community for years to come, in subscribing $3000
toward the district fair to be held at that place this
fall. No wonder R*d Bud is a prosperous and enter-
prising town. Three such citizens would be the making
of any town. — Colusa Herald

A citizen of Red B uff informed the editor of this
j >urnal that his town would raise a bonus of about five
thousand dollars to aid the district agricultural associa-
tion in giving a first class meeting and now that three
men have subscribed three-fifths of the amount there is
nodi ubt but the predicted figures will be easily reached.
The citizen referred lo said that Red Bluff was deler
mined to have a meetiog which would be a financial
success without the aid rf the bookmakers, and that to
accomplish this result the citizens would subscribe suffi'
cient funds to guarantee the association against any loss-
All honor to Red Bluff and its enterprising citizens
and more power to the gentlemen, whoever they are'
whose liberality has guaranteed success for the coming
fair. Every horse owner who opposes bookmaking
should show his appreciation of Red Bluff's enterprise by
making as many entries as he possibly can at its meeting
Bookmaking has been very injurious to harness racing
in California, and if the horsemen who realize this fact
will stand by the associations that prohibit it the system
will soon be banished from Pacific Coast trotting tracks.

THE NORTHERS CALIFORNIA CIRCUIT will
publish tbe official announcement of purses and slakes
during the latter part of this month in the columns of
this journal, and it will he tbe most attractive program
eve' offered horsemen by tbe associations north of Sacra-
meato. There is no question but this circuit of short
ba lis and mile tracks will be one of tbe best ever organ-

ized in the State, and the large purses and stakes hung
up, with very liberal conditions, will attract a very large
list of entries. There is one fact which should im-
press itself upon the minds of all harness horse-
men. The resolution to have no bookmaking at any
of the meetings can best be endorsed by entering
liberally in the various events. Ever since bookmak-
ing fastened its curse upon ihe country tracks harness
racing has suffered, and the owners of harness
horses have cried aloud for relief. Now that the north"
em districts have boldly declared against the evil, and
the citizens of the towns where meetings are to be given
have gone down deeply into their pockets and put up
the bard coin to guarantee success in spite of the absence
of the large sums heretofore paid by the bookmakers, it
behoove? every harness horse owner who has the good
of the horse breeding industry at heart to lend his
aid and endorsement by making as many entries
as possible. Large entry lists, big fields and good
honest racing will draw out large crowds this year in
the northern towns, and will establish the fact that
district fairs and race meetings are not dependent upon
the coin which the bookmakers have heretofore paid for
the privilege of controlling the betting. The northern
districts are doing their part this year. Let every horse-
man see to it tb«t his ail aid enio sjmeut is not
withheld.

THE. PACIFIC BREEDERS FUIURITY, for
which $3000 is guaranteed by that sterling organization
the Pacific Ctast Trolling Horse Breeders' Association,
deserves a very large entry list, and owners who realize
the fact that entering colts in good slakes add to their
value fully as much as development, will not let the date
of closing, April 2J, go by without entering them. The
three yeai old divisions of ibis stake for foals of 1897, to
be trotted and paced this year at the Breeders meeting
will be most interesting events, but already we have
heard the statement made more than once when an
owner was showing a coll: "That ftllow could win the
Breeders Futurity if he were entered in it." There is
one thiDg absolutely indispucable: A colt cannot win
any race in which he is not entered. This being an
axiom, owners have only themselves to blame if the
value of their colts is made less by noc having them
engaged in stakes. The money for the three year old
trotters in this stake this year is $1000 and for the
pacers $750. The slake for foals of 1899 will close
April 1st. There will be $750 for Ihe trollers and
$500 for the pacers to contest, for as two year olds
next year, and the amounis for Ibe three year olds will
be the same as this year. Don't miss entering in this
slake.

NUTWOOD WILKES 2:16J is getting a fine lot of
mares this yiar. From every part of ibe country where
tbe get of this stallion are owned, come reports of their
great speed. William B. Fasig, the New York horse-
man and expert, says ihe greatest stallion should come
Irom a Nutwood mare bred to Baron Wilkes. Well,
Baron Wilkes is not on this Coast, but to produce Nut-
wood Wilkes 2:16J a Nutwood mare was bred to Guy
Wilkes 2:151;, and Guy Wilkes is bred like Baron
Wilkes, being by Geo. Wilkes out of a mare by Mam-
brino Patchen. That Nutwood Wi.kes is a great pro-
ducer of speed is already established and his fame will
increase with his years.

THE ADVANTAGE of a nomination in the Ken-
tucky Futurity was shown recently, when the Boston
horseman, Thomas W. Lawson, paid $6000 for the three
year old colt Baron Sidney. At about the same time
Mr. Lawson bought another three year old, Frank
Kenney, regarded as just about as good as Baron Sidney,
but he only paid $2100 for him. The difference in
price in the two colts is found in the fact that Baron
Sidney is eligible lo the Kentucky Futurity and Frank
Kenney is not. Breeders should remember this and
name their mares in the Kentucky Futurity which
closes March 15tb.

THE WILKES FAMILY makes a marvelous show,
ing in a table of 2:15 performers published by the
Chicago Horse Review of February 20th. A recapitula-
tion shows that from Geo. Wilkes 2:22 have descended
no less than 958 horses with records of 2:15 or better.
He himself sired 2, his sons have 321 to their credit,
daughters are the dams of 24, grandsons have produced
333, mares by sons have 133 to their credit, mares by
grandsons produced 14, sires out of daughters have 55,
daughters have produced the dams of 16, and there are
Gl other descendants.

ONE OF THE BEST special editions ever issued
by a weekly journal is the historical edition of the Turf,
Field and Farm which reached us last week. Its illus-
trations are not only splendid specimens of the engraver
and pressman's art, but many have great historical value
and are of the deepest interest to hoi semen. The por-
traits of prominent horsemen are numerous, and the
articles by W. T. Chester and Robert Nevill on the
trotter and the thoroughbred respectively are not only
full of interest but valuable as concise and historical
documents. Among the consulting editors of the trotting
department were: Gen. B. F. Tracy, Major P. P. John-
ston and David Bonner; of the running department, Col.
Lawrence Kip, F. K. Sturgis and Col. S D. Bruce; of
the hackney department, Dr. W. Seward Webb, E. D.
Jordon, H. K. Bioodgood, Prescott Lawrence and Leslie
C. Bruce; in the steeplechase department, Foxhall
Keene, and in the horse show department, Thomas W.
Lawson, Albert C. Bostwick, A. S. Bigelow and Norman
Harsell.

Readville's Pig Purses.

Some one once dubbed the Grand Circuit the sheet-anchor
of the trolling lurf It was a happy expression, as it was so
near to ihe truth. With ihe Grand Circuit out, the harness
interest wonld not die the death, but the absence of the "big
rings" would be painfolly noticeable. Tbe fraternity owes a
great deal lo tbe modern chain cf meetings, whose members
loyally held tbe fort in the "dark days," when they were
certain the inc me wculd rot exceed the cut-go. Now in
tbe sunshine of returned prr eperity, the Gr nd Circuit of
1900 promises to exceed in money t fi^rirgs the best year in
its past history. Detroit has voiced her early intentions,
and this week Readvilie follows suit jist as generously, and
a "leelle" belter. There is jml $28 000 in early closring
purses at Readville. Wilh tbe class purses lo follow in due
season, we may infer that the Massachusetts member intends
to hold her end up fittirglv.

The Bix Readville pnrses close for subscriptions March

Ntw Quarantine Line.

Governor Gage has just issued a proclamation modifying
and changing the quarantine lice, rules and regulations
relative to catile passing back and forth within ibe Slate,
in accordance with saggeslionB made by the State veteri-
narian. Under this proclamation it is ordered lhat cattle
originating in tbe coonlies of Solano and Sacramento (situ-
ated south of and below the Stale quarantine line established
August 19, 1899] may be moved to points north of and above
the above-menlioned line, provided ibey are accompanied by
a certificate of inspection from ao authorized inspector of the
Burean of Animal Industry, United Stales Department of
Agriculture, or the State Veterinarian cf California, slating
that they are free from conle-gious and icfectious diseases,
special reference being bad to Texss fever and infection ticks,
and also that after February 26th no cattle originating south,
west or below tbe quarantine line established Angnst 19,
1899, shall be transported by rail, shipped, driven or other-
wise moved in any manner whatsoever into tbe counties of
Solano and Sacrameolo, or to points in the State of Califor-
nia north of and above ihe quarantine Hoe mentioned.

The effect of this proclamation is to exempt Solano and
Sacramento counties from the provisions of the quarantine
regulations relative to the transfer of catile from one portion
of the Stale to another, under certain conditions. These
counties are below the line beyond which it is not permitted
to ship cattle. The Hoe extends along the southern bound-
aries of Marin, Sonoma, Napi, Yolo, Sutter, Placer and El
Dorado connties, the western boundaries of Alpine, Mono
and Inyo and also the southern line of Inyo to the State
line.

Caval Rodriguez, Ihe well known trainer and driver
has opened a public stable at tbe Salinas race track, where
he will break colts to harness and train trotters and pacers
for ihe racing events of (he coming season. Among other
horses lhat are being handled by Mr. Rodriguez is tin. W
J. Hill's slacdard bred pacing stallion Guidon 0346, by
Almont Patchen 0154, dam Minnie L. (Vol. IX, A. T. R.)
by Anteros 6020. Guidon was enlered for the circuit last
year but did not start. Mr. Rodriguez is also training a fine
filly by Adrian, dam Lalla Rook, and dam of Loupe 2:09i;
also Malaria's four year old filly by Sevenoaks. — Salinas

The Burns Handicap To-day.

What the average daily newspaper tnrf reporter knows
and don't know about handicapping would make a book that
would contain more volumes than Goodwin's up to date.
That this assertion has proof to back in is evidenced by
tbe criticieme of these astute gentlemen anent the weights
allotted last Monday by Handicapper Brooks for the Burns
Handicap to be run tc-day. "The race was nude fcr the
Bums & Waterhouse stable" was the first chorus that the
newspaper men sung, and it was pretty generally agreed
among them that the weights had been purposely arranged
so that David Teony could "walk in." A person with a short
memory and a limited knowledge of racing would naturally
believe there was something in the claim so chorused by the
talent, but when the fact was called to his atten-
tion that the same claim had been made nearly
every year since this big stake was inaugurated
and that the B. & W. stable had never won it, the
aforesaid person would very likely begin to doubt
the touting abilities of the presf representatives.
He had only to wait a few days until Dr. Sheppard
won a race and then be noticed that David Teeny's
chances were knocked out by thiB son of Buchanan.
Arbaces was also lipped as baling more than a
chance and down the line they wen', talking aboot
F. W. Brode, Forte, and others until they have
now forgotten all about David Tenny and would
probably indignantly deny that they ever intimated
such a thing as paitiality being shown him.

The Burns Handicap is the largest slake run for

on the Pacini, Coast, and strange to say it has

never yet been won by a favorite, which is pretty

good evidence that the talent is not quite as

talented as it claims to be. Lissak, a three year

old, was Ihe first winner, when it was run at

the old Bay District. The next year at the tame

place Wneel of Fortune was first lo the wire, and

the next year 1897, when the California Jockey

Club bad^moved to Oakland, Kuinart woo. In

1898 Salsuma carried cfi the priz?, and last

year J. E. Terry's handsome Utile Fleur de Lis

was returned the winner. The starters wilh

weights and jockeys this year will probabl? be as follows'

David Tenny (Thorpe) — JJ8

Pat Morrresev (I. Rancn) - *02

Rosinante (Bullmao) 103

Rosormoode tJeokins) - 11°

Dr. Sbeppard (Piggott) - ™

Monrovia (T. Walsh) J — jg

Constellator (Fauntleroy) <"

To pick a winner from this field will be difficult and will
certainly handsomely reward those who accomplish the feat
provided they back their opinions with the coin of the realm.
It looks to the eye of the B. & $ as though Dr. Sheppard,
Rosinante, David Tenny and Arbaces should be in the first
flight under the wiie, and if the track should be muddy Mon.
rovia ought to be among them. There is no doubt but, wilh
fine weather, one of the largest crowds ever seen at Oikland
will gather to-day, end it will certainly be a great race-
May the best horse win.

ORONJE.

Hulda'a Two Year Old by Cupid Bears the
Brave Old Boer's Cognomen.

Mr. A. B. Spreckels is a great admirer of anything that is
game, and tbe marvelous exhibition of pluck and grit made
ry General Cronie of tbe Boer arcy in his splendid fight
sgainst an £-n-y ten tirres as large as his own, so excited Mr.
Spreckels' admiration that he bas claimed Ibe name Cropje
for the magnificent two year old colt whose dam is Hulda
2:08* and whose sire is Cupid 2:18, eon of Sidney.

The accompanying picture of Crorjs was taken nearly a
year ago and although he then had tbe appearance of a

Cronje.

Bay colt foaled 189s by Cupid 2:1S— Hulda 2:03^.

The Sire of Lena A. 2:21 1-2.

Ed. Beiedes and Sportsmah:— I see in yoor last issue
that you give Lena A. 2:21*. ss a bay mare by Lynmont,
whereas she is a sorrel mare by my sorrel stallion Melvar
22,130. I owned her gianddam Princess which I bred to
Elmo 891 and Elmorene is the produce. I have in my
stock register tbe recorded dale of ihe age of Elmorene, her
colts up to the epriog cf 1896. of Ihe time of her service in
1895 and her foaling in 1896, which is five days earlier from
time of service than the lime of her 6ix previous foals. If
she had any subsequent service that year it iB unknown
to me.

In tbe early part cf April 1895 (after service) I turned her
and her colt DcsminulCB over to Mr. D. E. Knight on a part-
nership breeding and racing venlore, and he has had Ihe
management of her srd her colts ever since. If Elmorene
was served by Lynmont or any other horEe.rulside of Melvsr,
in 1895 my sleek bock should show it, besides the entry of
Lena A. should, by lurr rule, conform to ihe foregoing facts.
Yoors truly,

Bek E. Harris.

developed horse, those who have seen him lately Bay that he
has grown into a still grander individual.

By rights Cror je ought to trot fast. His sire Cupid 2:18
was a very speedy horse, game to the core, while all know
what a game mare Hulda was. No greater exhibition of
speed and grmeress was ever made by a trotter than she
gave iu the $3000 free for all at Cleveland, Ohio, the only
time sne ever stalled after breaking a bone in her ankle in
the great Colombian Stake at Chicago two years previous,
the result of which is still plainly visible on an otherwise
faultless animal As two yeais has passed it was thought the
ankle would stand up and she was started against the cham-
pion Az He 2:04£. Hulda was "a patched up cripple" but
Bbe forced tbe mighty son of Whips to trot the first heat in
2:06^ and tbe second in 2:08J. and was a close second each
time. It was one of the most wonderful exhibitions ever
made by a trotter.

Cupid 2:18 put three in the 2:20 list last year. They are
the only ones of his get ever trpired ard raced and lhat they
should get records of 2:11}, 2:16} and 2:17} ibeir first season
ont is something extraordinary ^scd a crnclosive evidence
that Copid is one of the coming great sires cf speed. The
colt which bears Ihe name of Crotje stsrtB cut wilh good
looks, a gocd name and Li^h claeB Erceetry. He may be
beaten when he races, but that he will fight to the finish
and only surrender lo superior speed is certain.

■

James L Doige, of Paris, Ky , has sold lo Herbert Grev
commissioner for T. W. Lawson of Boston, the bro»n colt
Baron Sidney, three years old, by Ojkland Baron, dam Di
Vernon by Jay Bird. Tbe terms were $5000 cash and $1000
additional if Ihe colt trots in 2:10 this year or wins Ihe Ken-
tucky Futurity. This colt was one cf the fastest two year
olds in Kenlucky la6t seaBon, havitg trotted a mile early in
the fall in 2:171.

Better Days for Horse Breeders.

John Lackey, general manager of one of the great horse
breeding companies of Omaha, is authority for tbe statement
that the horse is destined within a few years to be the best
property in the stock line in ibe United States. Mr.
Lackey has had headquarters at Ontario, Or., for several
years, durirg which time the surrounding ranges have been
lined wilh his horse, and bis prophesy is drawn from his
experience. H« has seen the friend of man cell for $50 per
head on the racgp, and he has seen him go in great bands
at $5 i er head, to say nothing of tbe lower trades, that
could not be sold at any price. He bas sfen the sheepman
and the cattle grorer go about the country with Winchesters
scattering the skeletons of horses here and there throughout
large dibtricts. He bas teen them left to starve in deep
enow in ibe mroniains. He bas eten them degraded so
thoroughly throughout the Erat lhat railroad crmnanifg re-
quired ibe prepayment of freifcbt charges before they would
receive tbtm for shipment. He has mn them taken up for
Btmyp in the Iowdb and villages where they would not bring
$1 per bead wben sold under (he hammer.

"These tbiogp," says Mr Lackey, "are now nutters of the
paBt Tbe coming Reason will find the horse mm bet steadily
on tbe increase, and he who has a good animal for sale
will get ihe beat price of man? yeara. and each rncceediog
vear will bring it hither, until within a few veara a good
1200 to 1500 pound horse will bring $100 in the leading pens
here in tbe Weft. This will he the natural outcome of
former treatment of Ibe bor*e. The market ha* been beaten
down so low in the horse-usiog districts of the country that
he would not bring enough to pay transportation."

five years oid, one weighing 1780 and the other 1740, for
$400. This shows that horseflesh is again becoming val
uable. — Salinas Journal.

from L. E. Clawson of this city by J. Staley who bred her
to McKinney 2:11]- last spring and shipped ber to his home
in Sidney, Ohio, in January last, was taken sick on the trip
and lost ber foal. The mare has recoveied and will be bred
to Norval.

Who would have thought, asks an eastern turf writer, that
the greatest breeder of the light harness horse would Day
$10,000 for an untried, three year old pacing colt? But just
such a thing has happened, and to-day the Hamlins are no
more enthusiastic over any horse thev own than Direct Hal,
the son of the cue- time champion Direct 2:05$, out of a Hal
dam.

ment of D. F. Tillman it is said.

E. B. Rice of Boston purchased L. L. D. 2:08} at the
Fasig-Tipton sale for $1000. L. L. D. is a stallion and full
brother to Knight, sire of Anaconda.

C. A. Dubfee was down from Pleasanton last Monday.
He says there is lots of speed on tap at the track there and
fast quarters can be seen any day.

At the Fasig-Tipton Bale, the collection of trotters by
Alfred G., consisting of a two year old, nine three year olds
and six four year olds, averaged $387.

The association that holds its race meeting on Fourth of
July week will be wise. The gate receipts on the holiday
will be large enough to make the average high.

Diablo 2:09} will be bred to more and better mares this
year than ever before. His colts will win lots of money in
the show ring at the fairs this season and also in the races.

John McGuibe has sold the stallion Borougb Park, for-
merly Planet 2:04}, to Chas. Schroeder of Jersey City for
$1600. He paid $1300 for the stallion at the Fasig-Tipton
sale.

A colt entered in good stakes brings an additional price
if you want to Bell him, and if he trots or paces very fast it is
very easy to get a good price for him if he is eligible to start
in them.

Attorney Lube, of Cbico, is the owner of a three year
old filly by Kentucky Baroo that is one of the handsomest

with size and style as well as lots of natural speed.

Germany is very short on coach stallions, there being
only about 468 stallions, three years old aod older, in the
Oldenburg country. Nearly every country has been buying
large numbers of these stallions for breeding purposes.

A full sister to Mias Logan 2:06} ought to be valuable
as a broodmare especially if she is a fine individual. Dr.
Higgins of Porterville, Tulare county, has such a mare, and

The pacing stallion Coleridge 2:05}, died at Logansport,
Jnd., February 18th. Coleridge did good work on the
Grand Circuit a year ago He was formerly a trotter and
had a record of 2:22$ at that way of going. Coleridge was
foaled in 1888, and was sired by C. F. Clay, dam Susie
Wilkes, by Red Wilkes; grandam Corbeau (dam of Whip-

These are 47,000 acres in Marcus Daly's B tter Root
Ranch of which 30,000 are in pasture, and have been irri-
gated at a cost of $350,000 The number of persons employed
on the ranch ranges from 200 to 500, according to the season
and the monthly pay-roll is never less than $7500. It is
said that the total cost of the establishment so far, including
the live stock, exceeds $4,000,000.

Some trainers have excellent success in making speed on
a straightaway course. The speed of Cresceus as a three
year old was developed on one of that kind. An exchange

Farm are trained on a straightaway half mile stretch, and
are driven for speed directly towards the stables, with the

Sam Hoy, the Winters horseman, took the Hyrugen de-
gree io the Native Sons lodge at Woodland one night last
week. He was a little mixed gaited until the boys pat the
hobbles on him when he broke all records in his trip around the
hall. Sam says there are a lot of good drivers in the Wco3-
land association, but claims they made him pull too much
weight and did not have him properly balanced The track
was very rough and the weather warm, but his thoroughbred
blood enabled him to go the route.

Dobikg last week's Fasig-Tipton Co.'s Bale at Madison
Square Garden J. W. Daly bought a prize io the chestnut
stallion Prince Ansel by Ansel, out of Daisy Darting by
Kentucky Prince. The late Mr. Bonner drove the horse as
a mate to Praytell and they must have made a slashing pair.
Though without a record Prince Ansel bad been a mile in
2:15A to wagon and Mr. Daly will give him a chance to earn
a good race record. Prince Ansel is full sixteen hands high,
splendidly made and should make a valuable animal in
the Bind.

For some time Col. J. C. Kirkpatrick has been beating
nearly all the road riders on tbe speedway with Our Dick
2:10}, but last Monday fl. H. Dunlap showed bim the way
down the road twice with King Cadeczi 2:20, tbe chestnut
son of Steinway. They had two brushes the length of the
speedway and King Cadenza led both times and did the trick
so nicely that all the onlookers are ready now to predict 2:10
speed for him this year. Mr. Dunlap is entitled to a great
deal of credit for the w&y he has handled King Cadeczi. He
drove bim to his present record and can reduce these figures
any time it is necessary. He may enter him through tbe
circuit this year and if he does the King will be a hard horse
to beat io his class.

Palo Alto Belle 2:22£ has bsen purchased by C. W.
Williams, who will breed her to Allerton. Some time ago
Mr. Williams stated that the ma?es bred to Allerton must
have great broodmares for their first and second dams. Palo
Alto Belle fills the bill as she is by Electioneer out of Beauti-
ful Bells, dam of t in 2:30; second dam Minnehaha, dam of
8 in 2:30.

Pasturage c'ose to the city at $3 per month, with the
best of natural grasses and the purest of artesian water in
troughs kept scrupulously clean is something worth the horse
ov.ner thinking about. Such pastursge is advertised in the
Bbeedeb and Sportsman to day by Mr. I. L. Borden. As
the location is at Fitchburg. jast outside the city limits of
Oaklacd, and can be resched by hourly trainB in 45 minutes,
horse owners can visit the animals at any time and at a
trilling cost. See further particulars in nur advertising

On the Robert Bonner farm at Tarrytown a sunny corner
on the nillside is the burial ground of some of the most
famous horses in the world. There sleeps the mightv Dex-
ter, who cost over 133,000 and held a recoid of 2:17j: near
him lies young Pocahontas, for whom Mr. Bonner paid $40,*
000, aod the ex-champion Barus, who succeeded Goldsmith
Maid, and who cost Mr. Bonner $36,000, according to reliable
reports; .Edwin Forrest, costing well toward $25,000; Nut-
bourne, the brother of Nutwood; tbe $10,000 filly Reverie,
and many others.

McKjnnet has had more mares booked to him than any
previous year up to this date. Franceses, the dam of
I Direct 2:13 and others, has already been bred to him, as
has Hsz=l Wilkes 2:11}. There arrived from Los Angeles
the other day Leonor 2:24 by Dashwood, dam of Jenny Mc
2:09, Dr. Book 2:13i and Miss Jessie 2:14, who will be again
mated with McKinney. Oj tbe same train was Midget by
Alto Rex who will also be bred to him, and the mare Jenny
Mc 2:09. The latter will not be raced but will be bred to
some good stallion.

I. C. Mosher has sold his stallion Black Egypt 2:32 to Cal-
vin 8. White, of Gervias, Or. Black Egypt is four years
old, sired by Cceir d'Alene 2:19}, first dam Skettere (dam of
Coral 2:30) by Laddy, second dam Lakeland Qoeen (dam of
Ad Alene, 2, 2:26), by Lakelands Abdallah. Dr. White will
make a season witb bim this spring and place him in train-
ing for the fall races. Mr. Mosher says he has worked him
miles better than 2:30 in bis three year old form and thinks
he will have no trouble in going in the 2:30 list this season.

The trotting stallion St. Patrick, a son of Carr's Mam-
brino, owned by Lewis Charlton, will make the season of
1900 at Ukiah, Mendocino county, where he has stood for
several years past. St Patrick is a handsome bay horse, 16
hands high and weighs 1150 pounds. His sire, Carr's Mam-
brino, was a son of Mambrino Patchen out of a daughter of
Mambrino Chief IX, and sired Lidy Ellen 2:29£, the dam of
five standard performers, among them Helena 2:11}, dam of
Wild Nulling 2:13. The dam of St. Patrick was a daughter
of Dan Voorhees 2:23}, sire of Jim L. 2:20 and the dams of
three in the list. The second dam of St Patrick is a thor-
oughbred mare by Independence, son of Boston out of a
mare by Riflemen. St. Patrick is himself quite a trotter
and has a race record of 2:31^, which was not tbe measare
of his speed by a good deal. His full sister, Maud fi., has
a record of 2:21.

A "suggestion " thrown out by C. W. Williams is full of
merit and to the point : " Good stallions are scarce, brood-
mares are scarce, and there are only a very limited number
of well bred colts and fillies in the country. They are all
getting higb; they will get very much higher; they are not
in the country and will not be for a good many years. The
surplus is all gone; we are commencing over, and there is
money to be made and plenty of it for the progressive breeder.
Profit by the past experience, breed only to the best, breed
for good size, good color, beau y and extreme trotting speed.
Don't be afraid of a little expense; breed to the best stallions,
wherever they are. If the shipping expenses had kept me
from sending Gussie Wilkes and Lou from Iowa to Ken-
tucky, there never would have been an Axtell or an Aller-
ton. We can't get the good things of this world without an
eflort on our part."

Oct at Cassidy's at 20ih avenue and the Point Lobos road
Hans Frellson is handling several young horses, educating
them for the road. Hans is one of the most level-headed
and careful men with a horse there is in the business and
when he says a horse is gentle and city broke it's owner can
depend that the assertion is true, and that bicycles, steam
and trolley cars do not frighten it He is handling a pair
now for a well known horse breeder of this city, and they
are ready for the market. O je is bv Pleasanton, 'the other
by Good Gift, and both are large, handsome bays, with gcod
style and action and perfectly fearless. They will trot a
three minute gait handily and either can pull a buggy faster
with two people in it. This pair is fit for a lady's carriage,
being so thoroughly broken. They are fully sixteen hands
high, solid bays and their breediog cannot be excelled. Tbe
one by Good Gift was bred at Palo Alto and is out of a mare
by Wildidle. No better dispositioned horses ever wore
harness.

Dione 2:09} will be raced in California this year, and she
should be a drawing card for any meeting at which she
appears. She is being given road work now and is "just
about tbe sweetest thing that ever wore a harness" says Geo.
Berry of the Spreckels' stable, who is driving her. "Asa
road mare she is simply perfect ion J' said he the other morn-
ing when a representative of the Breeder and Sportsman
waB looking at her in her stall. "She does not poll a pound,
goes as straight bb an arrow and would trot a 2:10 clip for a
ten year old girl if asked. She is tbe boss of the road io San
Francisco and I think sbe has as much speed as any horse
on earth, bar none." By tbe way, Mr. Berry has a new foot
grown on Venus II. 2:11} and the mare is looking in splen-
did condition. It will be remembered that she returned
from her Eastern campaign lame, and the outside wall of her
left hind foot came ofi. A new hoof has grown out now and
looks to be all right. It is to be hoped that it will not
trouble her any farther and if not she will surely redoes her
present mark materially. All the horses in tbe Fell street
stable are looking well. Berry is driving a gray by Aptos
Wilkes that is a grand looker and has a way of going that
leads one to think it will be one of the "phenoms" if raced.

E. J. Baldwin has bred Alaho to Vinctor; Alaho was
the dam of Key del Santa Anita, winner of the American
Derby of 1894.

The fioish in the hurdle race was unusually close for an
affair of this kind, five horses struggling for the money until
the wire wbb passed.

Fosmero showed a sudden reversal of form in the last
race and beat a first class field of sprinters at six furlongs,
running the distance in 1:13}.

Bbiab Sweet and Mazime have both been bred to imp.

laet year by Mr. Haggin.

Sofala. easily disposed of M. F. TarpBy in the half mile
for two year olds, and is the only two year old that has run
the distance in forty-eight seconds this season.

The judges at Tanforan decided not to accept the entry of
Vibing in future jumping events on the ground that he was
started last Saturday when out of condition.

Imp. Cinderella (dam of Handsome, Plaudit, Haatirjgs,
Glenheim, Ferrier, etc.), by Tomahawk or Blue Ruin, dam
Manna, by Brown Bread, has been booked to Imp. Top
Gallant this year.

W. F. Pchdte's bay colt Tekla won the first race at Oak-
land on Wednesday. This horse has been backed by his
stable following on several occasions this winter but has
proved a disappointment in every instance.

Jockey Clawson has signed a contract with the well
known Eastern turfman, David Gideon, at a reported salary
of $10,000. Clawson will join Mr. Gideon's stable at Morris
Park at the end of the Newport meeting.

Eddie Ross seems to be winning a higher percentage of
bis mounts than any boy at the tracks. It is to be regretted
that he is not oftener seen in the saddle as be is painstaking
and enjoys a reputation for honesty second to none.

The sensational feature of last Monday's racing at New
Orleans was the win of the Duchess of York at 100 to 1 in
the last race. It was a singular coincidence that Duke of
York also won the last race of the day at Tanforan this
season at the same odds.

T. H. Ryan's six year old bay horse Duuois, by Florist
— Becky B , has been declared out of both the Brooklyn and
Suburban, in which his allotment was 110 pounds. The
stable is still represented by The Roman and St. Simonian, a
well seasoned pair of campaigners.

Goodwin Brothers have completed their racing analysis
up to the end of last year, and publish it in a handsomely
bound volume which dovetails with the first edition issued
after the end of June. The book has all the official data of
the Beason, a complete index, a summary of stake winners,
and a variety of other valuable information in compact form.

Jenkinb beat the gate with Scotch Plaid, but for some
unexplained reason did not take advantage of his command-
ing lead; this action coBt him the race, as he waB beaten but
a neck at the fioish. However, owing to the circumstances
of the running up of Tappan, the owner of Scotch Plaid re-
ceived more money for running second than he would if his
mare had finished first.

The selling race war is on again at Oakland; Tappan,
formerly the property of F. W. Doss, but now owned by W.
R. Larzalere, wis run up $800 above his entered price by
Albert Simons, traioer of Scotch Plaid, which ran second to
Tappan. A number of owners whose horses have been bid
up by Mr. Doss claim that the transfer of Tappan was not a
bona fide transaction and claim this fact ae a reason for Mr.
Simon's action.

Allhotjgh Jockey Willie Martin has not been riding this
season, he has, nevertheless, not been idle. Pirate J., a
maiden three year old, owned by the well koown jockey,
made his first appearance last Saturday and was quickly
backed from eights into three to two favoritism at post time.
The books suffered heavily over the victory of this horse
which experienced no difficulty in winning from the very
ordinary field opposed to him.

The mile and a furlong handicap was a most hotly con
tested affair: less than a length and a half separating the first
five at the finish. F. W. Brode gained tbe victory through
superior jickeyBb'ip on the part of Tommy Burns with
Ziroaster at his throat latch and Potente a length away.
The time, 1:52}, marked a fast performance and with jockeys
reversed the verdict would have gone to Willie 8bields came
little horse. Potente also ran a good race, and to his efforts
in setting such a fast pace the defeat of Geyssr may be
ascribed.

The mile and a sixteenth race at Oakland on Wednesday
was a rather interesting performance as it tended to furnish
a line on the contestants in the Burns Handicap, no lees
than six of the competing borses being entered for the rich
event. Dr. Sheppard set the pace throughout ard won easily
by a leDgth from Arbaces and Erwin, who finished with a
Bhort neck separating them. Arbaces made up an extraordi-
nary lot of ground and finished gamely. Taking all the
circumstances of the race into consideration it would appear
that Arbaces should hold the rest of this field safe and should
go to the post legitimate favorite in Saturday's race.

The Gunst Handicap at a mile and a sixteenth was de-
cided on the opening day at Oakland. J. Nagle Burke's
Ormonde mare Rosormonde proving the winner. Storm
King was second and B-ndoran third. Bendoran and
Flamora set the pace until the head of tbe stretch was
reeched, where Storm King moved up and looked all over a
winner. Jenkios, however, was hard at work on Rosor-
monde and riding a desperate finish snatched the victory
from Powell io the last jump With a Btronger finisher on
Sturm King it would have been a comparatively easy thing
for him.

Sam Lucas, who has been superintendent of Marcus
Daly's Bitter Root Farm, Hamilton, Mont., for Beveral years,
has returned to Kentucky and will go into the breeding busi-
ness on his own account. He has purchased the Price farm,
containing eighty-seven acres, for $10,000. This place is well
adapted for horse-raising, and is beautifully situated, almost
adjoining the Oakwood Stud and within a mile of Spring-
hurst. Mr. Lucas has also purchased from Col. Milton
Young two yearliog fillies by Requital, one out of Bandy
by Bend Or, she cut of Ulsie by King Alfonso; the other
out of Long Cloth by Longfellow, she out of Brocade by
imp. Bonnie Scotland.

Matt Byrnes, famous as the trainer of Firenz1, Salvator
and others, has recently returned from a trip through Ken-
tucky and Tennessee. DuriDg his abeence he negotiated 'or

Deer Protection in Marin County.

Ever since the close of tbe deer season in Marin county,
complaint has been repeatedly made that deer were being
rnn down and killed by hounds and other dogs which were
allowed to roam unchecked by their owners. Tbe result of
this carelessness or indifference is the adoption of an ordi-
nance penalizirg delinquent owners for tbe depredations of
their dogs, It has been claimed also that many people bave
been in the habit of goirg over from this city and bave
allowed tteir degs t" inn loose in the Marin hills, one cf the
purposes of the ordinance is to stop this unwarrantable
practice.

The Marin county authorities are earnest and enthusiastic
in endeavoring to protect the game in the county, this me: s-
ure ib one in the right direction and she-old receivb the
support of every sportsman.

The r,. w ordinance is as follows:
''Every owner or keeper of a bouod wriopermits sach hound to chase
or kill deer betweeu the 15tb of Heplembpr Ln each year and tbe 15th of
July In the following y»-ar shall be guilty of a misdemeanor "

Tbe punishment ior the violation of this ordlnauce Is fixed at thirty
days' Imprisonment or f 100 fine.

Tbe ordinance Is now In effect and will be strictly enforced by tbe
Marin County Game Association.

CARTRIDGE AND SHBLL.

The season for ducks and quail closed on Wednesday. Tbe
seasoD for ducks has not been un to tbe average of past ve ■.rs.
tbe birds shot for the p <st rmnth have not been io ihe test
condition. Thev bave already taken wing from many locali-
ties for tbe northern latitudes. One remarkable feature of
the past senson has b -en tbe great quantities of canvssback
ducks that have been shot on the bay* and adj cent mareh
lands. Tin- lias been offset by a great scarcity of teal dur-
ing tbe same time.

1 1 mil hunting, except in favored localities, has not been
satitsfadory to the sportameo. The apparent need of better
protection for the birds has been brought pointedly to the
notice of the devotees of gun and dog. In some sections a
close season and shortening of tbe close season and a limit on

the individual bag per day have already shown enough good
result* to warrant particular attention being paid to the sub-
ject so that a liberal supply of birds will be guaranteed sports-
m(D in futcre seasons.

The "pomp" gun case in the Uoited Slates Circuit Court
before Judge Ross last Saturday drew quite an interested
audience oi fp^rtemea and trade reprcentatives. Tbe
Marin county ordinance was attacked on the claim that it
was opposed to tbe fourteenth amendment to the Federal
Consiiution. The testimony given in behalf of Marshall
was not contradicted, the defense of tbe ordinance being
based entirely on (be law. Judge Kces listened io argument
on both sides and then took the case under sdvisement. An
early decision was promised.

Tbe news of the passing away of Fred Mather has teen

The Game Law.

The synopsis of the game laws appearing below and pub-
lished in the Breeder and Sportsman for several years
past has, from time to time been changed or the provisions
of new ordinances added thereto by reason of tbe many and
various changes in the coonty game and fish laws, particu-
larly those of recent date and of application in and around
tbe bay counties.

ThiB synoDbis has been frequently copied (in more or less
garbled and incomplete form) and quoted by city and interior
couroals and has also been piloted aod distributed by busi-
ness hruses While tbe information given at the date of is-
suance was substantially correct, we do not care to be held
responsible for the circulation of old matter that ib cow in-
correct in many details Some complaint has been made in
this respect and to avoid misunderstanding in the future" it is
suggested that for information of Ibis character a reference
be me de to current numbers of tbe Brreder and Spokts
man for ihe latest and most complete data concerning the
Game Laws.

The county enactments relative to the shipment of game
bave become inoperative under the decision of the Supreme
Court of California, rendered December 5, 1899, in the case
of James Knapp on habeas corpus, appealed from ihe
Superior Court of Stanislaus couDty.

Sunday contest, classification

The California State Fish Commission contemplated open-
ing its spawoioe station on -Shovel creek, near Beswick, in
Siskiyou county, on March 1st The commission has main-
tained a close watch on the fish ladder on the dam at Klama-
thon. This has enabled the trout to pass over (be dam to
the station without molestation. It is hoped to obtain the
old take of eggs, a million or more, which was customary
nntil tbe last two years, when the stream was low. The
commission will operate at Lake Tahoe, as usual, men going
there earlv in March.

Messrs. Brotherton and Walker, in this event on Sunday, did
some very fine work, particularly the former gentleman,
mskiogascore that will compare with the casting of the
Eastern cracks. Tbe scores for tbe two days are given

8everal weeks ago we pointedly corrected a careless state
ment in a morning daily which referred to "the late John
Benn" and which statement was equally erroneous in otber
respects So far as the genial fly-maker himself is concerned
he is j iet as much alive to-day as be ever was. Anglers can
find his most excellent flies and other angling specialties on
sale at Clabrough, Golcher & Co.'s or at tbe H. E Skinner
Co., in variety and quantity to suit. John Benn has re-
cently removed to new quarters, No. 726 Bash St., this city.

Bay fishing was not productive of much success for the salt
water fishermen last Sunday at Sausalito, Tiburon or Angel
Island. Tbe tide was wrong all day long. Lime Point has
been found first class for shore-casting, many fine sea trout,
capazooi and rockfish have been hooked there as well as
tomcod and kingfish.

Tbe Rio Vista News says that sea lions are again raising
havoc with tbe fishermen, (earing their nets and taking the
salmon out of tbem. This is an old trick the BPa lion has
often played until a well directed shot from a rifle has ended
his career.

uOINGS IN DOGDOM,

The general verdict amoDg fanciers ia one of great satis-
faction in the selection of Mr. James Mortimer forjudge of
the coming local bench show.

That tly-casling this season will be practiced with vigor
and enthusiasm by the members of the San Francisco Fly-
Casting Club ib a foregone conclusion. The older members
are commencing to bob up serenely and apply themselves
with an industry that is worthy of great achievements with
the rod and barbless red fly. The new members are tackling
the problem with an intelligence and skill that is encourag-
ing and also an agreeable surprise to the veterans, who there
n.ion put an extra tarn to the wrist and shoot up a score just
a little higher so as to make the work of (be trailers a bit
more complicated in wrestiog laurels from persistent and
skillful contestants. On Saturday last, a most beautiful day
for fly-casting it was, a noticeable improvement in delicacy
casting over last season's ecores was very apparent on tbe
part of a number of the rod wielders, tbia is a practical
demos strati on of an efiacient scoring system. Mr. Manefield
who has temporarily side tracked bis long distance competi.
tion proved bis mettle by breaking a club record in delicacy
and accuracy, he was also high rod in two other events, Mr.
H. C. Golcher leading in the long distance casting.

On Sunday morning five of the casters put out 100 feet of
line or more. "Bat" was the subject of much good natured
encouragement and badinage when he annexed tbe century
mark. Messrs. Foulks and Heller on their first appearance
at the park lakeside, we must congratulate on making a better
showing than was usually made by tbe new members (some
of them are now in the expert class) three or four years ago.
Lure casting is also attracting much attention and interest,

Fay and Gleason's bull terrier bitch Woodcote Queen
(Woodcote Venom — Jen) whelped on Tuesday a litter of
ten puppies to Bloomsbury Baron.

A slashing, well trained and fine looking bull terrier dog
can be purchased through the medium of this office. Parti-
culars will be given upon application to the Kennel Editor.

The first litter of fox terriers in California sired by Pow-
hattan Kennels' Cairnsmuir Doctor is listed in the Kennel
Registery of this issue. Fox terrier men are interested in
the fortunes of a breeding that is apt to be noted in the future.

Mr. Leon Greenebaum called this week, bringing for in-
spection his young bulldog Harrv. When we last eaw (he
dog, Bhort.y after his recovery from a severe attack of dis-
temper, he showed type qualities to a great extent and prom-
ised much improvement. We were hardly prepared, how-
ever, to see Bucb a wonderful change in a Jog. The young-
ster, now a year old, has improved in head, body and forelegs
so much, that be would not be recognized bb tbe lean and
leggy invalid snatched from kingdom come by John Brad-
ahaw. Mr. J. H. Mullins, an authority on bulldogs and
owner of the Bridge Kennels in Brooklyn, who was here
recently, waB so pleased with the dog that he has offered a
silver cup for competition in tbe May show here, which be
is confident will be annexed by Harry. This young bulldog
is the one, it will be remembered, that Mr. Harry Lacey of
Boston brought out for Mr. Greenebaum.

Benob. Show Notes.

The Bench Show Committee of the San Francisco Kennel
Club will meet again on Tuesday eveniog next.

Many entries by northern fanciers are anticipated in the
event of the northern circuit of shows closing in time.

A passing comment od the Westminster Kennel Club
bench show held last week in New York, made by Tbec-
pbiloB Marples of England, the editor of Our Dogs, is a very
flattering testimony to (be energy, courage and enthusiasm of
American fanciers. Considering (hat over 300 bench Bbows
are held annually in Great Britain, the words of Mr. Marples
are of more than ordinary interest. He is on his way to
Chicago, from whence, after acting as judge at tbe Mascoutah
Kennel Club show be will return to England post haste. He
said :

"In the general impression the show surpasses any in Eng-
land, but to some extent this is due to the beauty and 6ize of
the building, which exceeds anythirg we have Regarding
tbe types in cccker and field spatiels the American exhibits
certainly surpass the same classes in the mother country, and
the same iB true of beagles, deppite the fact that such noted
fanciers as the Earl of Hopetoun are devoted to the breed.
Pointers and setters, too, are quite as good as in the old
country. Fox and Irish terriers I do not (hink quite so
good, and (he Scotties and Bedlingtons seem to be going
downward. Pomeranians seem to be catching on immensely,
which pleases me greatly, as I was the founder and firBt Sec-
retary of the English Pomeranian Club. Then brown Pom-
eranians were a curiosity, but now they are quite tbe type of
the breed, leading both the blacks and tbe blues. But in its
broad aspect, I thoroughly endorse this show as the grandest
spectacle in the realm of dogdoro."

The following is a partial list of winning dogs in tbe win-
ners' classes at the New York show, showing a few of the
breeds and dogs in which the Coast fancy are principally in-
terested Ch. Le Prince Jr., Fred H. Bushnell's dog, waB

Smooth Coated Pox Terriers.

Continuing from last week the article on smooth coats in
Mr. J. A . Doyle's " Pillars of the Stud Book " extracted from
the English Kennel Gazstle, he further writes:

"All this intercrossing with hard and rather coarse strains
enabled Mr. Clark to breed-in sgain. Thence came thoee
two brothers in blood, Result and Kegent, of whom it is
needless to speak. Here, again, the inferior dog proved tbe
better sire — or, at least, tbe more permanently valuable one.
Regent, a bigger, less substantial and less terriei-like dog
than Result, lives on in Stipendiary, who inherits bis hlood
throngh Reckoner, who is on bis dam's side ince6tucusly in-
bred to Relgrave Joe. There seems, however, juBt a chance
now that Result may reassert herself through Mr. Red-
mood's dogs, father and son, Daddy and Don Cesario. They
get the blood of Result in direct succession through Ambrose
Joe, Hunton Billy and Hunton Bridegroom. 1 never saw
nor heard any description of Ambrose Joe, but Huaton Billy
was a most genuine terrier in build, head and genera) ex-
pression. He was himself a most handy dog, but that was
not the Btroog point of his stock. Hunton Bridegroom
could hardly be beaten in point of tbe saddle, and bis size
waB perfect for a working terrier; but he inherited in an
exaggerated form hiB sire's defect of narrow quarters. It ie
worth notice that in each generation of this line excepting
in Hunton Billy's dam there was an infusion of Spice blood.
The fitness of tbe combination is obvious, as Spice would, on
tbe oLe hand, intensify the influence of Belgrave Joe, and
on tbe otber give bone and substance, though at tbe same
time poseibly at tbe cost cf bad hindquarters.

There was a third eon of Brobeohorst Joe, a good deal
more behind Rally in merit than Rtlly was behind Sting,
who bae, on the whole, I think, done more for the blood
than either. I believe that I judged Brokenhurst Jim on
his first appearance, if not on the show bench, at least at a
ahow of any importar.ee. This was at a Fylde show at
Blackpool, when that beautiful bitch, Richmond Olive, made
her first successful appearance. Jim wbb as different in type
from bis sire as a dog could be. He was decidedly coarse
and rather big, with a fluffy coat and a somewhat plain head,
but well made all through, with beautiful legs and feet.
These he handed on to his son Pitcher, from a grandaughter
of Belgrave Joe, full, as I have already pointed out, of Trap
blood. Pitcher suffered from very weak hindquarters and
bad hind action, tbe result, I believe, of illness. But he could
gallop well and bis faults were atoned for by a perfect
front, legs and feet, and a head exceptionally long for a
small dog and very clean cut. His boc Dcminie, from a
bitch mainly ontbred, but with one cross cf Brockenburst
Joe, is too fresh in the memory of my readers to need any
description.

Pitcher's success does not entirely depend on him.

mingbam winner. Seamstress. Of her I cannot speak im-
partially, so I will content myself with eavirjg that her head
was as gocd acd her general outline as clear and free from
coarBenefB at Dine years as it wsb in her best davs. Starcher's
dam wsB by Regent, out of a StiDg bitcb, aod I am inclined
to thick that the greater durability of the Dominie strain
was due, not only to the individual superiority, but to his
dam bringing fresh blood into a strain which had begun to
need it.

I now come to the one remaining strain, which, through
various branches, is holding its own fairly well against the
preponderating influence of the BrokenhurBt Joe blood, that,
namely, of Foiler. At one time the prospects of that line
being carried on seemed as slight as possible. It was through
his daughters mainly, of whom the ; best was Dorcas, that
Foiler made himself known bs a sire. Of his sons none
could be called first-class. Probably the best were two use-
ful, but no' very brilliant dogs, Flather atd Flinger. One
of them, I forget which, had the singular experience of being
confronted on tbe shew bench at the Crystal Palace by a
fraudulent double of himself! The Foiler blood, however,
was carried on, not through them, but through a dog wholly
unknown, I believe, in the show world, namely, Mr.
O'Grady's Willie, by Old Foiler, out of a pure bred Belvoir
bitch. What he wsb like I have never heard. I Buspect
that if he bad been a good-looking one Mr. O'Grady would
not have allowed his beauties to bloom unseen. Fortunately,
however, for his fellow breeders in the future Mr. O'Grady,
like his friend and allay, Mr. Turner :

"Clearly knew

The difference due

To a (dog) of pedigree,"

and retained in his kennel a Eon cf Willie, with more Bel-
voir blood on tbe dam's side, as well as that of old Sam. The
dog in question. Hogmaston Dick, was no beauty, with
rather a loDg and low-set stem, a coarse, though fairly ter-
rier-like head, and heavy earB, redeemed by quite first-class
legs and feet. Fortunately Mr. Turner conceived the idea
that he wbb tbe right dog for an outcross with his inbred
bitch of Belgrave Joe blcod. The experiment was not very
extensivel; successful, for it produced one result which made
amends for any Dumber of failures. Not, indeed, that I
ought to speak with disrespect of Hogmaston Dick, for, fol-
lowing Mr. Turner's lead, I put a cloeely bred bite1 , Needy,
granddaughter of Belgrave Joe, on one side and great grand-
daughter on the other to him. The result, besides three or
four quite undistinguished dogs, was a common-looking bitch
called Distsffina, who, however, bred for me Seamstress,
Bosati. Rifleman, Recovery and Revolver, all winners in
good company, and of two or three successful though lees
distinguished sons and daughters. Dick's great performance,
however was begetting Dickon. He was that rare combina-
tion— a small, smart drg. full of terrier character and quality
yet with bone and feet of the very best kind. On the dhow
bench his career was rather marred by his very erratic car-
riage of ear. Most unhappily he fell into ignorant and in-
competent hands, and did far leBS than he might have doce
at the stud. If be had remained where he was for a while,
in the keDnels of Mr. Redmond or Mr. Tinne, 1 believe that
tbe whole future of fox terriers might have beeo a good deal
altered, and that our present difficulty of combining bone
with proper size and terrier character might have been much
more easily and speedily surmounted.

Fortunately, he left behind one son thoroughly qualified
to fill his place in Splinter. Splinter was an altogether
coarser and more masculine looking dog than his sire, and
perhaps on that account none the worse for breeding. His
dam, Sutton Veda, was a bitch full of 6tyle and quality,
much iDbred to Olive, throogh ber two eods, Tweezers aod
Pickle II. Dickon's own dam was bv Belgrave Joe, from a
Pickle II. bitch. That in spite of this breeding, Splinter
should have quite first claes lees and feet, shows what a
Bound choice Mr. Turner made in using Hogmaston Dick as
an outcrosB for his kennel. Still bb I said before, the ten-
dency to weak quarters and pastern, and open feet, is one
which waB only kept at bay, aod not extirpated, and breeders
always have had, aod will have to be careful in their dealings
with this blood. Sp'inter, like bis sire, did not do half ihe
good to fox terrierB that he might have dore, SB he fell a
victim to a rabid cur who was running UDtnuzzled. Still he
lived long enoogb to found two distinct and valuable ptrains.
From a daughter of Spice aod Olive be begot New Forest, a
big dog, with good n- ck and shoulders, but rather doubtful

pasterns. Nevertheless, he is responsible for two sub-fami-
lies exceptionally good in legs and feet. Mr. Tinne put him
to a Brokenhurst Spice bilcn, a somewhat dariog venture in
inbreeding. The produce was New Forest Darkie. He
passed into ihe hands of Mr. Barbidge. That is in itself a
certificate for his having had plenty of bone and good legs
and feet, for Mr. Burbidge was the last man to tolerate a sire
in his kennel wanting in these points Renamed Hunton
Darkie, be begot Hunton Baron, a powerful, truly shaped
dog, a trifle big and houndy. I do not know if there are any
of hisBons about; if Dot, more's the pity; but I have little
doubt that bis blood will hereafter make itself felt through
indirect channels

Beside Hunton Darkie, New Forest, from another bitch
containing Spice and other blood, begot Belmont Ranger, a
dog of whom no one seems to know much, except that he
was very bad tempered. He, by the help of further inbreed-
ing to Belgrave Joe and Spice, got Despoiler and Hunton
Tartar, the sires respectively cf tboee good bitches, Dame
Fortune and Merford Molly. In all this family the heredi-
tary tendency to weakness of ankles and feet seems completely
extirpated. To a certain extent other faults — coarseness,
and, in the male representatives of the family, over-size —
have been set up. There can be no duubt that Despoiler has
had an influence not unlike that exercised somewhat earlier
by HogmaBtou Dick. He has enabled breeders to iobreed
strongly to some of the more stylish end delicate strains
without loss of bone or constitution. Another branch of the
Splinter family has, however, done more, at least in the way
of direct and immediate Buccess. From Kohiuoor — a daugh-
ter of Dugdate Joe's, mentioned above, and a grandaughter
of Pickle II. — he begot Lucifer and Vesuvian. Tbe former
might have been a trifle stronger in his ankles, and his other-
wise excellent expression was spoilt by rather light eyes.
Bat these criticisms pretty nearly exhaust bis faults. He
departed to America in his early prime, before he had time
to show what his value as a Bire was; nor do I know how he
has fared on tbe other Bide. His litter brother, Vesuvian,
was originally shown by Mr. Astley under the name of
Adamant. He was a compact, terrier-like dog, decidedly
inferior all round to Lucifer; but in begetting VeEuvienne,
Venio and Verdsd be has certainly placed himself among
tbe pillars of the Stud Book. At the ssme time, a due share
of tbe credit must be giveu to the dam Veoilia, a very long-
headed bitcb, rather on the large side, bred by the means of
half-brother and Bister, son and daughterof Vedette. Vedette
himself was a smart, compact little dbg, with excellent bone,
a little weak in jaw, but without the slightest trace of his
Bofler de=cent abont tbe ears or bead. He was by Boff from
Chip, a gaod, old-fashioned terrier of Mr. Gileon'e blood.
Veniiia'B parents were also related on the spindle side, as
each went back to Busy, of whom I have spoken above.

So far, the blood of Venio has been cbieflv handed on
through bis two sons, Vis-a Vis and Visto, though Valuator
has doDe sometbirg too for tbe family. Vis-Vis is a dog
concerning whose merits good judges are a great deal divided.
HiB admirers, however, must at least grant thtit he is too
large, and bis detractors caDnot get away from the very great
success of his blood

Vis-a- Vis and Visto are abont identical in blood, siuce
both are by Venio from daughters of Vesuvienne. Tbe only
difference is that Visto'e dam is by Rational, Vis-a- Vis by
Result. That the l»rge grandsire should have produced tbe
small grandson, and vice versa, seems strange; but the balance
has beeo redressed in tbe next generation, since Visto has,
unfortunately, rather failed to transmit his own beautiful
size to his stock.

That brings me by a ratural transition to that Bide of my
Burject which may fittingly wipd up this cursory and imper-
fect sketch of tbe genealogical bistorv of our present terriers
I do not. I think, stand alone in believing tbat the size of
our terriers ' has increased, is increasing, and ought to be
diminished.' That, bv the wav, applies only to the dogs.
No one can compla:n that tbe bitches whom we now see on
the show bpnch are over-siz°. On the other hand, a first
class dog who does not inclinp a little towards the big size
is a rarity. One even hears 18 lb. dogs looked on with sus-
picion aB ' hardly big enough.' At the same time it is true,
as often remarked, that most of our good sires have been
big dogs. That is, therefore, as a rule, good policy to breed
from a dog rather above tbe true standard of Biz?. Probably
a puppy of exceptional physical strength and promise of

virility iB likely to outgrow the rest of his brethren. Again,
it must be remembered, in the same way, that the breeder
whose best specimens shown on the bench we criticise as
over-size, is breeding a host of respectable mediocrities well
within working limits. I may say from my own present ex-
perience that it iB the exception to breed a dog over 18 lbs.,
though I quite admit that it ib generally those exceptions
who possess the merit needed for the Bhow bench So that
we must not be set dowo as flooding tbe world with useless
monstrosities, or making tbe breed of 'erriers unfit for work,
because some of our best dogs are over-size. Still, I should
like to see a little more care in this direction.

There is yet another point on which this seems a fairly
suitable place to say something. We often hear it said that
a dog is wanting in terrier character. Big winners, dogs
whose merit every practical judge is forced to recognize when
they come before him, are, we are told, 'no terriers.' That
style of criticism at once carries its own condemnation. It
represents the irresponsible attitude of the ring-side critic,
which has to be abandoned the moment the speaker ex-
changes the post of spectator for that of judge. Yet I think
that here, as in many crude and ill expressed views, there
lurks a germ of truth. On the one hand, terrier character
does not mean a mysterious quality, tbe absence of which
should be a perfectly symmetrical deg, good in every detail,
out of court. On the other hand it is not a vague phrase to
throw at the head of a dog whom one dislikes without reason.
Eye, altitude, carriage of stern, texture of coat have a good
deal to say to it. I believe one part which has a good deal
more to do wi'h it than we have generally thought, it is tbe
difference between a tight and a loose skin. Take two dogs,
built on exactly the same lineB, aod alike in every detail; let
one have a tight drawn Bkio, showing through it every
muscle of back, hindquarters and forearm; the other a loose
skin, and the difference in general effect will be a great deal
more than will be produced by some very distinct difference
in actual structure. There may still be something which
cannot be brought to a definite test; but I am convinced that
mnch of what is called terrier character turns on the point I
have described."

It is often said that our whole type has changed; indeed,
you often bear persons — never, I think, persons really famil-
iar with the breed— talk as if the 'Old' and 'Modern' fox
terrier were two distinct animals. The one, we are told, was
solid, short-legged aod cobby; the other is light, leggy aod
racing like. I would ask my readers to carrv back their
minds, if they can, to the first Fox Terrier Club show at
Lillie Bridge. Tbe issue in tbe open class lay between
Brokenhurst Joe and Moslem. Would it be possible to find
mrre tvpical representatives of each of the stamps of dog
whom I have described than these two contemporaries?

Let us again place in order (not of merit) three ancient
and three modern dogs.

1. a Hornet. 6 Vandal, c Chance.

2 a Visto. b Kibworth Baron, c True.

Between the three members of each line there is as little
aflSnitv of appearance, as can be imagined. Between each
pair of a's, 6's and c's there is a very definite likeness. Dame
Fortune, again, is far more of what people consider the old
type than Olive or Dorcas were.

The simple truth is that the last generation attended more
than we do to pubstance aod spring of ribs, we more to liberty
aod slope of shoulder. And the result is, that wheo a dog
of tbe laBt generation fell short, it was usually, Dot always,
in tbe direction of ' cloeginess.' just as the bad dog of to-day
is usually light and 'whirpety.' But a good ooe today
would have been a Eood one in 1870. If you could have
Buffelt or Rattler back, they would hold their own with the
best. If Olive and Dorcas are allowed to look on to-day at
the scenes of their old triumphs, they are probably very
thankful that they never ran up against Donna Fortuna."

Sheep In Lower Oregon,

Louis Gerber has made another shipment
of 900 motion to Sacramento from Klamalb
couoty. Mr. Gerber, io speakiDg of the cnt-
look for stccfer, informs the Klamath Express
as follows :

"The indications are very good for a fair
price for spring wool. This county would be
in a great deal belter condition financially if
there were 50 000 Bheep here instead of two
or three small lots Take for instance Lake
coaoty, there ie over a qoarter of a million of
theep there and it is one of the must prosper-
ous counties io Oregon in conteqoecce.

Sheep can be wintered on alfalfa and
Klamath county has thousands of acres of
high rough mountains where Bheep will do
6ne in the sommer acd it is practically worth
less for cattle.

When the Lrst river coootrv gets all seedfd
down to alfalfa, thousands of sheep will be
wintered here, for where sheep are well win-
tered on alfalfa the extra growth on the
wool ard the greater percentage cf lamb?
raised repays (be sheepman belter than to
take chance6 oo wintering tbem oot on the
bleak ranges, for some winter will come alone
i hat will simply let tbem oot of the sheep

business."

Heifers vs. Steers.

In England preference is given to heifer
bfef, but in this ccunlry steers are rated
higher than heifers. In order to obtain a fair
relative valoaticn of the three classes, steers.
spiyed heifers and rptn heifers, the Iowa
aericohural station has been for Fome time
engaged io feeding tests TheEecond test was
recenilv concluded and the report cf it says
the heifers made a slieh'ly better average
gain from correspondingly less focd and ate
at a le3s cost than the Bteers. Oo the hlock
no material difference was shown by 'he Bteers
and heifers in the character composition and
qoaliiy of 'he meat, but both the Fpayed and
open heifers gave a larger proportion of
bizb-priced cuts, ribs and loins than did the
steers- In all the tetts at that station the
heifers took oo fl=sh more rapidly than tbe
steerp. The former did not show larger gains
but were finished a little earlier. Tbe heifers
after Blangb'ering produced a higher Det pro-
fit than tbe steers. even considering tbe higher
valuation of the leading cuts from the latter.
No difference appeared in tbe gains made bv
tbe open and the spayed heifers — Indiana

TROTTING BRED CARRIAGE HORSES.

Eastern Buyers Prefer the High Steppers With Standard Blood,

That high class carriage horses can be bred in America has been demonstrated at
horse shows from New York to California ever since the horse dealers found there
was money in fitting them for show ring and park purposes. By way of drawing
attention to the fact that the hackneyized trotterand high stepper is not a myth, the
Atlantic Transport Line, which does a very large business in shipping horses to
Europe, has offered a Bilver cup of eighty-eight ounces weight to be awarded at the
Royal Horse Show at Richmond, England, to the best American bred harness horse
imported into England before June 8th, 1906. The cup is a very handsome trophy,
and is ornamented with a bas relief portrait of W. L. Elkins' noted high stepper
Red Cloud, winner of the championship at the last National Horse Show, a photo-
engraving of whose handsome proportions appears on this page. Red Cloud is a bay
stallion 15.3 hands high, and is a grandson of Harrison Chief, he by Clark Chief 89.
Harrison Chief, whose dam was by Joe Downing, was noted as i* sire of proportion
and style and as the picture of Red Cloud shows, this grandson is clearly entitled, on
his conformation alone, to consideration among any lot of carriage horses that can be
brought together. But it was not on his conformation alone that he won the blue
ribbon. He is a high actor among high actors, and not only lifts his knees but his
hocks as well, and does it with all the grace and style imaginable. He is not only
trotting bred on his sire's side, but on his dam's side also. It is a matter of con-
gratulation that such a fine specimen of carriage horse has been produced here and
that his image will adorn this cup.

The other picture on this page is of the carriage pair, Sigsbee and Sampson, which
have taken blue ribbons at many Eastern shows, though we believe they had to give
way at the last National Show to better looking and better mannered horses. They
were a high class pair, however, in their day, and were sold for over $5000. They
also are trotting bred on the sides of both sire and dam. Neither Red Cloud, Sigsbee
or Sampson were bred for horse show winners. They are chance horses, selected by
experienced persons for their style and conformation, and educated for the business
in which they have been so successful. Few Americans have tried to produce trot-
ting bred carriage horses, but that the type can bi fixed without going outside the
standard breeds is evident to all who have taken interest enough to look into the
matter. There are many standard bred stallions and mares that not only have the
carriage qualities but reproduce them in their offspring. If a careful selection were
made of standard stallions and mares of this type, we have no doubt but within
three or four generations a type of carriage horse could be produced and fixed that

would reproduce itself with as much uniformity as the Hackney and much more than
the French coacher. In the "Tramps Observations" of Murray Howe printed in last
week's Chicago Horse Review we find the following:

"Last week I put in a few hours at the Newgass sale of coach horses in the big sal«
pavilion at the Chicago Stock Yards and tried to add something to my knowledge of
the short-tail game. The horBes sold were mostly green coachers consigned by west
era buyers and shippers There were several hundred of them and all trotting bred,
of course. It was the New York horse show on a small scale. There were six or
seven classes and from eight to fifteen entries in a class. The judges were Hector
Vervacke of London, Col. Buinton, of Trenton N. J. and Mortimer Lovering of Lay-
fette, Ind. First prize in each class was a $50 note, and second a reserve ribbon. The
free for all class for the best pair in the sale went to Armlet and Rensselaer, Jr., a
pair of 16-hand bay geldings owned by J. R. Boyle & Son, of Rochelle 111 Armlet
was by Inveterate, a son of Onward, and Rensselaer, Jr., was by Rensselaer. They
were certainly a grand pair of coach horses with style and action and considerable
speed

Wm. Marshall, of Chicago, exhibited two great pairs in Dan and Maple, bay geld-
ings, 15.2, brothers, by Brightmont 4040 and Francis and Harry H , bay geldings,
the first named by Algomah, a son of Strathmore and the latter by Magna Star, a son
of Magna Charta. Both teams were perfectly mannered and could go very high and
both were winners. The prize for the best single horse in the show went to Royal
King, a five year old bay gelding, over ltj hands in height by Jaywood, a son of Nut-
wood. He was consigned by Mark .Light, Bloomington, III. To my eve this horse
was a wonder. He had the right kind of action all around and by the way, I have
learned that all high action is not coach horse action. A horse that goes very high
and "points his feet" out in front as he puts them out will not do. He must keep his
feet in under him and must not have too much Btride Royal King brought $1600 in
the sale and was purchased by John Dupee of Chicago. This horse had the head and
neck of a stallion and was one of the smoothest turned big horses I ever saw. The
only horse I saw out there that I thought could beat him was a brown stag called
Wellington. He was exhibited by Louis Newgass and was not shown in any of the
classes, but he was an extremely handsome big horse and could go higher than any-
thing of its kind that I ever saw. They said he had a record of 2:2" under some other
name and came from southern Illinois.

The hackney breeders tell us that speed is not desirable in a coach horse, hut the
men who buy and sell on the market Bay different I saw one remarkably handsome
high going puirs of cobs go for $300 and I asked an English buyer with whom 1 was
talking why they did not bring more, and he replied: 'Because theycan'1 _
If they had the speed some of these others have they woold bring :i thousand
Hector Vervacke of London, pays very high prices tot coachers that can step
ttroters and he never lets one get away that he really likes."

ENDURANCE OF MA.N AND HORSE.

Records of Some Long Rides By Soldiers In
the Indian "Wars.

There is much interest to riders generally, bat particularly
to the United States [cavalryman, iu reports that have come
from South Africi of soma of the long, hard rides made
there by the British mounted troops The accounts of some
of these rapid forced marches of cavalry are lacking in de-
tail, but the specific statement is made that a squadron of
the Natal Mounted Rifles rode eighty-five miles in twelve
consecutive honr3. The English press speaks of the rides of
sixty miles by detached cavalry troop3 which are completed
within the limit of the daylight hours, and these achieve-
ments of the troopers and their mounts are spoken of as
though they were of frequent occurrence.

At first thought it may not appear that these rides are
particularly remarkable, but the fact must be taken into
consideration that the bodies of troops and not single indi-
viduals are concerned, and where this is the case the rapidity
of the march must necessarily be gauged by the rapidity and
endurance of the poorest horse of the outfit. Moreover,
each animal engaged has to carry weight of man and equip-
ment to an average of 250 pounds. Many of the horses used
by the English troopers are American bred, and a natural in-
terest in this country is added to the rides, for it gives a
chance to "get a line" on the endurance of tbe American
animal under absolutely strange climatic conditions.

No army in the world, perhaps, has had the same op-
portunities to test the endurance of cavalry horses as has the
small regular force of the United States. The long, level
stretches of the plains and the activity of the maurauding
Indian mounted on his tireless broncho have been the condi-
tions which gave to Uncle Sam's cava'rymeo bis matchless
chances for long forced mounted marches-
Colonel Theodore Ayrault Dodge, U. S. A., collected the
official records of long distance cavalry rides, and has made
them public so that they maybe compared with the perform-
ances of the soldier horsemen of other nations. Colonel
Bodge declares specifically that he has rejected all "hearsay
rides, of which there is no end," and has accepted only those
proved by official reports. Colonel Dodge says that Captain
8. F. Fountain, United States cavalry, in the year 1891, rode
with a detachment of his troops eighty-four miles in eight
hours.

This record is vouched for, and it is better than that of the
Natal Mounted Rifles by about four hours, the distance being
within one mile of that made in South Africa. For actual
speed this forced march stands perhaps at the head of the
American armv record, thoush other rides have been more
remarkable. In the year 1879, when the Utes succeeded in
getting some United States troops into what was afterwards
known as Thornburg's "rat hole." several mounted couriers
succeeded in slipping through the circling line of savages.
All of them reached Merritl's column, 170 miles distance, in
less than twenty-four hours. The exact time was not taken,
for, as Colonel Dodge puts it, "rescue was of more importance
than records."

It must be understood, of course, that all these American
rides were made without changing horses The steed at the
start was the steed at the finish. Tbe best rider, according
to cavalry experts, is not the man who takes a five-barred
gate or who can ride standing, but the man who by instinct,
feels the condition of his horse, and, though getting the most
out of the animal, knows how to conserve his strength.
The late General Lawtoo, who was killed in the Philippines,
in the ye*r 1876, rode from Red Cloud Agency, Nebraska,
to Sidney, in the same State, a distance of 125 miles, in
twenty-six hours. He was carrying important dispatches for
General Crook, and, though the road was bad, his mount
was in good condition when Lawtoo, looking five years older
than he did the day before, handed over his bundle of papers
to the black-bearded General. General Merritt has a forced
march record thai has no American parallel when tbe con-
ditions of his journey are considered. He was ordered in
the fall of 1879 to the relief of Payee's command, which
wae surrounded by hostile Indians. Merritl's command
consisted of four troops of cavalry, but at the last moment
he was ordered to add in his force a battalion of infantry.
Tbe "dough boys" were loaded into army wagons drawn by
mules, acd with the cavalry at the flinks, tbe relief column
started. The distance to be traversed was 170 miles, and it
was made, notwithstanding the handicap of the wagons and
trails that were muddy and sandy by (urns, in juat sixty-six
hours. At the end of tbe m<rch tbe troopers went into the
fight, and in the entire command not one horse showed a
lame leg or a saddle sore.

Four troopers cf the Fourth Cavalry, who had volunteered
for the particular service, were sent in the summer of 1870
from Fort Harney to Fort Warner with dispatches, and were
lj!d to make the best time possible without kilting their
horses. The men were on their mettle. Tbey made the dis-
tance, 140 miles, twenty mileB of the way beiog through
oose eand, in twenty-two hourp, the actual marching time
being eighteen honrs and thirty minutes. At Fort Warner
they rested one day and returned to Harney on the same
horses at the uniform rate of sixty mileB a day. Captain
Edmund E. Feohet started at midnight for the relief of the
Indian scouts who had been sent out to arrest Sitting Bull,

and who, after killing that chief, were beleagored in a log hnt
by hiB followers. Fechet took an ambulance wagon and
Hotchkiss with him. The gun carriage broke down and he
was compelled to fasten the trail of the piece to the tailboard
of the ambulance and thus drag it along. Notwithstanding
this handicap he made the first forty-five miles in less than
seven hours. He fought and drove off the joung Sioux
bucks then scouted the country for ten miles, gave his troop-
ers some breakfast and returned to the fort. Fourteen hours
were consumed in covering ninety miles of ground.

The cavalry horses of the American army have undergone
these endurance and speed contests carrying weights of more
than 200 pounds and without any training other than that
received in the ordinary frontier scouting and daily drill
evolutions. The greatest military ride record, as it appears
on paper, is that of the Anstrian Connt Stahrenberg, who
rode one horse 350 miles in seventy-one hours. The animal'
however, carried only the Count's weight, 128 pounds; it had
been specifically trained for months to un ergo the endur"
ance test, and during the whole time of the ride, it was kept
on stimulants. The horse died within twenty-four hours
after the completion of its task.

C >lonel Dodge, in his summary of remarkable rides, tells
of a professional express rider, whom he personally knew,
who for many months carried mail from £1 Paso to Chihua-
hua through a hostile Apache country. This man on one
horse, a broncho, regularly made 300 miles in sixty hours,
and then, resting his mount for four days, made the return
trip. As this was not a cavalry achievement it is not used
for purposes of comparison. Touching the performance,
however, the military writer savs that "excepting the aBS,
there is perhaps no creature on earth so stubbornly enduring
as the broncho."

Colonel Dodge does not think that if tests were made there
would be found much difference between the records which
English and American soldiers would register. He Bays that
a composite picture made of 500 British and of 500 American
troopers would show that the three lines which establish the
"seat" of the rider are practical); the same, and that upon
this and the proper care of the horse depend largely tbe
matters of distance accomplished and speed maintained.

Tbe Sire of Lena A. 2:21 1-2.

Marvsville, Cal, March 7, 1900
Editor Breeder akd Sportsman — By your issue of
March 3d 1 note that Ben. E. Harris of 2291 Sacramento
St , S. F., claims that Lena A. 2:21$, which belongs to the
estate of David E Knight, deceased, is by his sorrel stallion
Melvar 22,130, and not by my bay stallion Lynmont. The
mare Lena A. is a sorrel instead of a bay. But Capt. Harris
stallion Melvar is a chestnut instead of a sorrel according to
his own correspondence now in my possession and to which
1 make reference hereafter. He Bays in his letter to you
dated February 28, 1900, and published March 3, 1900, ''If
Elmorene was served by Lynmont or any other horse, out-
side of Melvar, in 1895, my stock book should show it." The
answer which I have to make at this time is to copy from a
letter sent me May 13, 1S96, by Capt. Harris in which he
states :

"Since leaving yon and the horses yesterday, and thinking
a great deal about the color of El morene's last foal ( being
precisely that of Melvar, a dark chestnut), I opened my
stock book for data, and from the length of time she has been
in the habit of going, I have concluded that honors are about
easy between Melvar and Lvomont in her last youngster,
especially as she was apparently often in season long after
being in foal. At any rate tbe following copy of my stock
register will probably offer you some canse for a moment's
reflection of the queer doings of old mares, at least frequently
so in her case:

Horses bred to Date of service. Time of foaling. Sex, etc.

Lynmont (bay) J April 28. 1895 March 27, 1896 ( ...Chest fllly

"By reference to tbe dates yon see she has been very irregu-
lar and 1 have sometimes thought it was because of her treat-
ment for locsjiw when she was three years old. In 18u6 she
went seven days less than 12 months. The last item, or
rather date, is provided of course that she caught to Melvar (?).
Otherwise she was exactly on time, and if bo, it was the first
time in her life, hence yon will Bee how it was that I gave
tbe matter this much thought. However, this is all batween
vou and me, and no matter what are the facts, go ahead and
boom it as a Lynmont for all that there is in it."

This letter speaks for itself and clearly, in my judgment,
establishes the pedigree of Lena A. Lena A . will be sold with
the other horses belonging to the estate of D. E. Knight, de-
ceased, here in Marysville probably about the middle of April
of this year. At that time I will be present and ready and
willing to show this letter of Capt. Harris to any person or
persons interested. Trusting that you will give Ibis letter
the same publicity that you did the letter published March
3, 1900, I am yours, etc. Wm, Hogoboow.

Edwin Rick, an enthusiastic Boston road rider, will have
out a racing stable next season made up from the following
hones : L. L. D. 2:08*. Eben L. 2:16, Fred H. 2:17$, Jimmy
C. 2:20, and Dr. B. 2:22$. It is reported that the veteran
trainer, Jack Trout, has been engaged to handle the horses
and that he has his eye on a fast green trotter, which will
be soon added to the string.

rSallnas Jotrnal, March 2d.]

Now that it has become a settled conviction that the dis-
trict fairs in California will this fall have, with hardly an
exception, race meetings and the old-time interest in the
harness horse be revived, things are putting on a decidedly
lively and active appearance at the Salinas race track. The
horses quartered there are beginning to take some good stiff
jogging to begin the actual work of getting ready for the fall
campaign.

The lessee, James Dwain, has done a great deal of work
on the track and has it in condition for safe and fast work.
Mr. Dwain has in his string several whose present work
promises to reflect credit upon their lineage when the bell
rings for the word "go." In his stable is Diablita, a wonder-
fully promising four year old pacing filly by Diablo, out of
the game trotting mare, Salinas Maid 2:30 by Juoio, dam by
Mambrino 1789.

A two year old trotting gelding, Pan Yan by Dictatus
2:19$, dam Lilly V. by Junio out of Mamie by Mambrino
1789, is a grand prospect.

A yearling bay filly by Alta Bio, full brother to Chehalie,
dam by Eugeneer, a son of Electioneer, steps off like a sure
enough trotter, and will probably add other evidence to
the fact that old Altamont breeds on.

The foregoing three are the property of Judge Vander-
hurst, the banker, of this city.

Mr. Owain has also in his string C. 2 Hebert's brown
horse Bruno 2:16$, by Juno 2:22, dam Dolly, dam of four in
the list. He also has the same owner's brown colt, two years
old by McKinney, dam Dolly, and the bay mare Laura D.
2:25, also out of Dolly and by Altoona 8850, a son of
Almont 33.

Mr. Dwain has a fine filly named Baby Wilkes by Pacheco
Wilkes, dam Nina B,, by Electioneer out of Gabilan Maid,
the dam of Aggregate, This promising young miss is the
property of J. D. Carr.

He also has a fine looking bay colt two years old by Cupid
dam by Speculation. This colt is a fine individual and is
owned by P. W. Morse, superintendent of the agricultural
department of the Spreckels Sugar Company.

Cavel .Rodriguez has in his string the speedy pacer Guidon
by Almont Patchen, dam by AnteroB, the property of Mrs.
W. J. Hill. He has Y. Malaria's chestnut filly by John
Sevenoaks, dam Chippee by Nutwood, also a bay filly by
Adrian out of Lalla Bookh, the dam of Loupe 2:09$.

Clarence Day is now at the track with his great Bed
Wilkes-Dictator horse, Dictatus 2:19$. He will make a
Bho: t season here with Dictatus and prepare him for the cir-
cuit. Dictatus is going sound and slroog and ought to enter
the 2:10 list this year. Besides Dictatus Mr. Day has in bis
stable two green ones by Clarence Wilkes that he is getting
ready for the green classes during the fall circuit. They are
owned by W. J. Gillespie of Bedding and are good prospects,

The Lawson String.

Herbert Gray of Boston was in Lexington last month
attending the Woodard & Shankiin sale of trotters, and he
succeeded in materially strengthening the trotting string of
the Boston Copper King, Thomas W. Lawson. The ma-
jority of the members of this string are now at Thorndale
Stock Farm, at Andover, Mass. Mr. Gray, for some reason,
attempted to make his purchases on the quiet, but like other
secrets in Kentucky, it has leaked out. As the result of Mr.
Gray's visit, a carload of valuable horses were shipped to
Boston last week, the stars of the collection being the fast
green trotting stallion Poindexter, that was knocked down at
Woodard & Shanklin's Bale, and the pacing Futurity winner,
Lucy May 2:22}. It is learned from a reliable source that
the Lawson string will contain the following horses, which
are named, with tbe prices paid for them attached, as follows:
Boralma 2:18, price $17,000; 8agwa (trial 2:10), price $7100;
Poindexter (trial 2:12), price $6250; rJaron 8idney, price
$6000; Mamie W. 2:17$, price $4000; John Beach (2),
brother to Boralma, price $2000; Glory 2:14}, price $2500;
Tommy C. 2:11}, price $2200; Harold 8., price $1500; Crack-
man 2:19}, price $1000; Lucy C. (2), price $1000; Lurline
Chimes, price $1000; Watermaid 2:19} and Gambella (trial
2:12}), team, price $4100; Belford, price $825; Lncy May
2:22}, price $550.

This string is to be still further increased, it being the pur-
pose of Mr. Lawson to get together some twenty-five head in
all. It will be noticed that tbe mai irity of the members of
the string have no records, but are animals that have dem-
onstrated their ability to make time. The total cost of this
superb collection is $57,825.

It may be that the pacing horse will never be as popular
for road uses as the trotter, and if so he will never be as
valuable. But that be is popular as a race horse there is no
doubt and all tbe up to date associations are realizing this
fact. At all meetings good purses are hung np for the pac-
ing brigade, and with the exception of in the big stakes, the
pacer has as many opportunities to be a big money winner as
the trotter. Hal 3. 2:04} won nearly $14,000 last year, and
Anaconda won in the neighborhood of $10,009.

Pleasanton Pickups.

Knew the Mare's Falling.

Denver and Colorado Springs Meeting.

Pleasanton, Cal., March 6, 1900.

The rainB have stopped fast work thia week, and the trot-
ters and pacers have been'.in their stalls most of the time.

Last week I Direct 2:13 surprised his trainer a little. He
was given a mile workout aad after reaching the half in
1:144, (a 2:30 clip) hb showed such a desire to go that he
was given his head. He paced the last half in 1:04* and did
it very handily.

A filly by Direct, dam Rosita A. 2:141, stepped a quarter
in 33 seconds very easily and is now booked for a fast record
thia year. She is a four year old.

The three year old Diablo colt out of an A. W. Richmond
mare belonging to Mr. J. Galisgos has already been a mile in
2:25. Mr. G. was greatly pleised with the performance and
will send several mares to Diablo this montb.

Wm. Murray has several youngsters by Diablo 2:09|>
that be is giving fast lessons and they are the talk of the
town.

C. A. Durfee is beginning to move his horses up a little
faster and will be ready when the ball riogj. Clipper 2:09J,
and Miss Jessie 2:14 look well and are faster thao ever.

The atriog of youog horses by Nutwood Wilkes that are in
training under Mr. Cecil's care are a grand looking lot. Tne
two year old out of a Director mare is considered one of the
beat of his age ever seen on thia track. He is a trotter.

Ed LaSerty is not rushing his youogsters any, and believeB
in making haste slowly, but he will be ready when the order
is given to come up for the word. Addison 2:114; is doing
well and will be able to win in his class. Ed will have
Lottie Parks 2:16$ in a few weeks. She is getting road work
now in San Francisco. The Allie Wilke3 6IIy io his strine
is good goods and there is one by Kremlin 2;07i that attracts
much attention.

Rey del Diablo (2) 2:23| has recovered from his lameness
and is again on deck. He has speed enough to lower the
three year old record this year.

Chas. Griffith's horse "Sharkey" was driven a quarter in
31* seconds the other day by Bert Webster, and will certainly
be heard from this year in the racing summaries.

Harry Dunlap, of Sao Francisco, has b;en at the Farmers'
Hotel here for a few Jiys. He haa his Steinway gelding,
King CideDza 2:20, here in tracing and he is Bhowing great
speed.

Tommy Murphy has a Diablo two year old out of a mare
bv Redwood in training at the track. Tommy says he has
all the Futurities "in which the c lit is entered" at hia mercy.

Judge Haines, of San Francisco, was the guest of Chas.
Griffith here last week.

T. H, Green, of Dublin, has turned over a couple of two
year old McKioneys to J. M Alviso for education in his
speed school. One is out of a Steinway mare, the other's
dam is by Venture. Cork.

Trotters and Pacers at "Winters.

Joseph Thayer, the Kentucky horseman, told a little story
io the office of the Breeder and Sportsman the other
morning, that is food for thought for those who have an
organ with which that function can be exercised. He was
handling p mare for a gentleman who imagined she was the
greatest trotter on earth. The owner wanted to see her
move and one morning Mr. Thayer accommodated him and
worked the mare a mile in 2:15, last half in 1:04}. The
owner was delighted and told Mr. Thayer to enter her in the
faat classes at a couple of meetings that were to come off
soon.

"I wouldn't enter her if she were mine," said Mr. Thayer.

"Why not," was the astonishing query.

"Because I don't think ihe will stay the race out," said
Mr. Thayer.

"What ?" aaid the owner. "A mare that can work the
last half of a 2:15 mile in 1:04}, not stay. She's as game ss
anybody's horse. Enter her, Mr. Thayer; she'll win all
those races."

So the mare was entered and did just as Mr. Thayer said
she would. After one fast heat she was done and if she could
be Dursed along was lucky to escape the distance flag and
get part cf the purse.

The thinking to be done by trainjrs in connection with
this story is this : Is it not better in every instance for
trainers to apprise owners just as near as they are able of the
capabilities of their horses,? When this is done there is
better feeling all around when hirsss are beaten by better
ones. It is not every trainer, however who is able to see the
faults in a horse that can trot a half in 1:04}.

Winter3 (Cal.), March 7, 1900.

There is more interest being taken in harness horaes in
this nick of the woods thao for yeara past The Northern
Circuit has caused quite a boom in the training business and
more horses will be in training here and at Woodland than
for Borne time.

One of the great prospects here is the two year old 611y
Pearl S by Hanford Medium 2:\1\ oat of the dam of Kelly
Brigee 2:10}. This filly is in the hands of Del Bigelow at
Woodland and horsemen all say she will develop intu a
record breaker. She is the property of Kelly Briggs, pro-
prietor of the Velveteen Stock Farm.

8am Hoy has quite a string here at his track. He is
working Kelly Brig?a2:10} without hopples and believes he
will succeed in racing him this year without the Indiana
pajamas. If so, look out for 2:07 or better for this son of
Bayswater Wilkes.

A green trotter by Bayswater Wilkes that Mr. Hoy worked
some last year is goiog nicely and will certainly be a new
standard performer for his sire in 1900.

Demonio, the fall brother to Diablo 2:09} that Mr. Hoy
started once last year aad is still in the green class is show-
ing IoIb of speed in his work although he haa not been per-
mitted to work a mile yet.

8am Montgomery, the energetic Director of the District
Fair Association, has placed a three year old Waldstein colt
in Mr. Hoy's care and it is a very promising one. Fred
Woodman, of Woodland, is the owner of a green pacer that
Hoy will beat 2:20 with before fall.

McNally 2:20 by Mc'< inney is now a five year old and
much improved over his last year's form. He will trot
lower than hia present mirk this year and will in all prob-
ability add another performer to McKioley's champion list.

Baby Button by Alex Button out of the dam of Kelly
Brigga, a three year old by McKinney and a two vear old
pacer are also in Mr. Hoy's string, so you see be has enough
to keep him busy.

The rains have been bo abundant that the prospects are
for one of the most prosperous years Yolo countv haa ever
seen. X. I. Z.

Spring Meeting at Los Angeles Doubtful.

The prospects for a spring meeting at Agricultural Park
are not, at the present writing, very promising, says a Los
Angeles paper. The horsemen themaeHes are desirous of
of a few days' racing, but the management does not consider
that the season justifies a m°et. Ricing, like most every.
thing else in California, is dependent upon the season's rain-
fall. Herein Southern California it is the landed gentry
that most liberally patronize racing events. Oatside of this
class the attendance and aid accorded the management is Of
small import. Consequently a dry season means a closed
track and vice versa. If a spring meeting is held it will be
run about the first of May, just before the local and the San
Francisco horsemen leave for the Eistern circuits.

Aside from the question of finances, the present year is a
most auspicious one for a spring meet. All along the coast
are numerous faat horses which would be sure to enter, and
on the local track the stable? are fall of very promising ani-
mals. Yearly there is an increased number of foreign horse-
men to be found at Agricultural Park during the winter
season. The climatic conditions and the fine condition o1'
the track are the reasons why they select Los Angeles. Since
Agricultural Park has bsen taken into the city limits, all
privileges and concessions usually granted in connection with
a meeting have been abolished, aad without these returns a
big gate becomes all the more necessary.

In view of the existing state of aSiirs it looks as if the
only track events that will be held here this spring will be
the matinees of the Los Angeles Driving Club. The recent
matinee, which was held on Washington's Birthday, was
such a success that the committee io charge has about de-
cided to hold a similar program on the last Saturday of this

month.

Local horsemen are well pleased at Colorado Springs' de-
termination to hold a racs meet this spring, the dates of
which will be Miy 30. h and 31st and June 1st and 2d, says
a Denver dispatch. With Denver's meeting following close
upon the heels of the one at Colorado Springs, it is quite
probable that more horse interest will be aroused in the slate
this year than ever in its history. It is certain that no
Colorado meeting or meetings will have seen such entry lists
as ihose of the coming spring. Before Colorado Springs fell
into line Secretary Roberts of the Orerland Association an-
nounced that the entries for the Colorado events at the
Denver meeting were 50 psr cent greater than those of last
year, which were conaidered quite big. Seventy-five horses
are in training at Overland already for the events. This
Bhowing is likely to be duplicated at ColoradoSprings, where
the Colorado horse will be even more liberally catered to
than at Denver, for they hang up purses of $350 for road
wagon events. Purses of not leas than $500 will ba put ap
for the open events. March lob waa set a3 the closing day
for entries for the Colorado events and it ia probable even
though this date is a month later than Secretary Roberts'
closing date, that Colorado Spriog3 will get almost as maoy
horses as Denver because the owners will want to see what
their animals cm do p-evioas to their racing in this city.
Colorado Springs has not completed its program, but it wil
have the following events : Three year old trot, three year
old pace, 3:00 pace, 3:00 trot, 2:15 trot and pace and a 3:00
trot and pace to roid wagon, open only to members of the
Colorado Springs Driving Club and of the Gentlemen's
Driving Club of Denver. The two cities propose to work
in harmony, for Colorado Springs has Bet aside May 31st a8
Denver day, when the Gentlemen's Riding and Driving Club
will send down a big crowd. Secretary Roberts will recipro-
cate by designating a Colorado Springa day at^Overland. The
officers in charge of the Springs meeting are: George Bir-
nard, President; Frank Peck, Vice-President; J. W. Cofley
Treasurer, and Charles O tens Secretary. There are some
forty horses in training, including a bunch of bangtails
owned by Mark Derby. About a score of horses are being
prepared for the spring campaign at Pueblo.

J. B. Iveeson has placed his trotticg mare Ivoneer 2:27
by Eugeneer, dam Salioas Belle, in the hands of his trainer,
"Vet" Kent, to be prepared for the fall circuit.

The National Horse Breeders', Dealers' and
Exhibitors' Meeting.

The third annual meeting of the National Horse Breeder;,',
Dealers' and Exhibitors' Association will be held in Chicago
March 23d and 24th at 10 o'ctock a. m , Grand Pacific Hotel.
An interesting program is being prepared. There will be
able eddresBeB, papers and discussions by the leading horse
breeders from several States. Horsemen of all classes are
invited to attend this meeting and co-operate with the pro-
gressive breeders and dealers to encourage the breeding of
horses to suit the best markets. For programs and particu-
lars address F. J. Bekrv, President,

Street Fair at Saoramento.

The first genuine street fair in the State is being planned
by the citizens of Sacramento The purpose, says the
Record-Union, is to break the routine of things and have a
novel and attractive outdoor exhibition, resembling in some
reBpects street fairs in the Old World, but with a great
wealth of American addition and improvement upon them,
especially in the line of pleasing entertainment for the
people who attend. Fairs of this kind have proved popular
and remuueiative in many Eastern cities, and as they are a
novel and inexpensive form of entertainment they ought to
prove exceptionally successful in California, where the
climate seems to have been made expressly for ont-door en-
joyment.

Rodeo of Wild Horses.

Last Sunday, says the Calaveras Prospect, the boys of this
vicinity had a grand rodeo on Bear mountain, and succeeded
in bringing in quite a number of stray5. Three horses of
seven or eight years of age were caught that never before felt
the weight of a rope, and one seven years of age that was
roped once several years ag>. One animal was corralled
that had ranged those hills for fifteen years io perfect free,
dom. There are a large number of horses that roam about
the moBt inaccessible parts of that extensive range, and many
that have not been handled for years, but are qaite valuable.
It is proposed to hold a roand-op every Sunday till the last
stray is brought in.

At the Traps.

The formal opening of (be local trap shooting season last
.Sunday at Ingleside drew the attendance of a large gathering
of enthusiastic sportsmen despite the unfavorable weather
"onditions.

Many improvements on the grounds were noticeable, addi-
tional changes are alao contemplated which when completed
will make there shooting grounds second to none on the Coast.
The officers and management of the Trap Shooting Associa-
tion are to be congratulated for the almost perfect facilities
they have placed at the disposal of the trap shooters.

The attractions at Ingleside to-morrow will be a blue
rock shoot of the San Francisco Gun Club and the initial
pigeon shoot of the Olympic Gun Clnb.

The opening shoot of the live bird season was held under
the auspices of the California Wing Clnb last Sunday. The
live birds furnished were such as to make the old timers rub
their eyes in astonishment. In the regular club race at
twelve birds, straight scores were made by Otto Feudner and
J. J. 8weeney. Feudner is credited with being high gun for
the day by killing the first twenty-four birds he shot at.
The "eleven" men in the club medal race were H. Justine
and "Slade." The club medal race at twelve birds was the
first of a series of seven monthly shoots which will conclude
with a final race at twenty-live pigeons per man on the first
Sunday in September. Considerable rivalry was developed
between a number of the shooters and the possible outcome
of some good natured joshing will be several individual
matches in the near future.

In the club race at twelve pigeons the scores were :

Feud..er, 0 220222—5 Donohoe 212200—4

Vernon, F 012201— 4 Kullman, H 021110—4

The informal dedication of the blue rock traps under the
new management at Ingleside last Sunday was participated
in by a large entry of shooters. Captain Tom Lewis of the
Union Gun Club directed affairs in a satisfactory and skill-
ful manner. Among those shooting in several impromptu
races and the scores made will be found the following:

nineteen dozen ducks and a number of grouse was made by
Deputy Commissioners Vogelsang and Kerchival. The game

A number of prominent politicians and professional gentle-
men were disippointed in not having some of Ibe confiscated
birds on the menu at a banquet that was held last Saturday

the dealers should pay dearly for its transgressson, aside from
tbe loss of the birds.

Death of Ohas F. Bates.

Flying Fox Sells for $196,875.

HOOF-BEATS.

'.)

Charles F. Bates, belter known as "Fatty" Bates, died
suddenly Friday evening, March 2d, in New York. Apoplexy
was the canse of his death.

Mr. Bates had not been in good health for some months.
He had a slight stroke of apoplexy last Fall, which his
friends were afraid would result fatally.

Mr. Bates was entertaining some friends in his rooms
when he suddenly fell to the floor. Doctors were called in,
but they could do nothing for him. He expired in a few
minutes.

Charles F. Bates wsb one of the most noted horsemen in
the country. His fame as a whip was world-wide, and seated
on a four-in-hand coach he was In his element. He handled
the lines as only a master can, and his exhibitions of driving
have never been excelled, even by the leading English ex-
perts.

It was as an exhibitor at horse shows that Bates gained his
greatest fame. For years Mb Bhowing of peifectly trained
and perfectly matched teams and pairs at the national horse
shows in Madison Square Garden captured the blue ribbons
of superiority. He was a past master in the art of training
the perfect coach or trap horse, ard had a knack of match-
ing pairs thai amounted to veritable genius.

Such famous horses as Coxey, Brown Dorma, Hi and
High Tide, Whirl of the Town and others were known to all
frequenters of horse shows, and are accepted to-day as the
standard of perfection in their classes. They were developed
by Bates, and the pride that he took in their exhibition was
a revelation.

CAPTTJfiED BLUE BIBBONS.

His entries inviriably captured the blue ribbons in shows
from Boston to Chicago, and few of the exhibitors had the
temerity to compete with him. So far did this condition
extend, that at some of the lesser exhibitions hiB entries were
barred from certain classes in order that others might have
a chance.

He took pride in his horses, but was more than proud o'
his record as a whip. His memorable duels in driving with
John P. Bratton in the showB in Madison Square Garden
were the feature of every exhibition. Bates invariably came
out a winner, and last year Bratton would not consent to a
competition.

Mr. Bates was about 45 years of rge, and when not engaged
with his horses had a penchant for the indulgences of the
bon vivant and man about town. He was a member of num-
erous social organizations, including the Tandem, Coaching
and Country Clubs. Though recognized as a dealer in
horses, he had the entree to society and was one of the regu-
lar subscribers to the Metropolitan opera season.

His buBinesB, located on West End avenue, was an exten-
sive one, and he counted among his patrons the wealthiest
citizens of this country. It has been estimated that his
transactions in horses in a year would reach a quarter of a

He had a fad for rich raiment that he allowed to become
almost a mania. Those in a position to know have stated
that he never had leBS than fifty Buits of clothes at one time,
and 100 pairs of extra trousers.

His coaching suits and coats were the "real thing," and
were patterned by the swells in all parte of the country.
He prided himself on the possession of a Bcore of English
driving coats that cost $500 apiece.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.

The greatest sum ever paid for a horse has been handed
by M. Blanc, a Frenchman, to the estate of the late Duke of
Westminster. Flying Fox, tbe Derby winner of last year, a
son of Orme, and grandson of Ormonde, was the horse that
brought the lo.ig price. There were three bidders for Flying
Fox. 8olly Jool, a cousin of the late diamond king Barney
Barnato, was tbe Eoglish bidder, Mr. Gilpin representing
Mr. Whitney wanted the horse for America, but the French-
man, whose father founded Monte Carlo, would not be denied
and when he said 37,500 guineas the greatest race horse in
England was knocked down to him.

Jool started the bidding with an offer of 30,000 guineas.
Blanc raised the bid five hundred, and alternate bids at the
same advance weie made by theBe two until 34,500 was
reached when the Englishman dropped out. Mr. Gilpin
then began and by bids of five hundred ran the offers up to
37,000, but as the Frenchman added another five hundred
so readily and seemed willing to go to any amount, Mr.
Whitney's representative stopped and let the horse go to
France.

This is the highest price ever paid for a horse, and is equal
to $195,875 of United 8tates money. The next highest price
ever given waB paid by W. O'B. Macdonough of this city for
Ormonde the grandsire of Flying Fox. $150 000 was the
amount paid Senator Stanford sold the trotting colt Arion
for $125,000 and C. W. Williams, of Iowa, received $105,000
for the trotter Axtell. Tbe thoroughbred stallion 8t. Blaise
brought $105,000 at auction, C. W. Rsed paying that price

for him.

Santa Rosa, Cal., March 6, 1900.
Breeder and Sportsman:— Would you be kind enough
to publish in your next issue tbe breeding of Sultan Jr. and
Gen. McClelland 144. The number they haye in the
liet and bow many producing sons and daughters and oolige
several of your 8onoma County Readers.

In Volume III. of the American Trotting Register Gen,
McClellan 144 ie registered as follows :

"Gen. McClellan (same aB Red Iron) ch h foaled 1855; got
by a horse that worked in a Bix horse team, at Pike 8tatioo,
Wayne Co., Ohio, called North Star; dam a small cheetnut
mare, weighing about nine hundred pouods that was called
a Morgan and had a Frenchy appearance."

In Volume XIV. of the Register the number of Gen. Mc-
Clellan's standard performers is given as 3; four of hie eons
produced 6 trotters and 1 pacer, and eight of his daughters
produced 7 trotters and 1 pacer.

Two horses were registered under the name Sultan Jr.
One is by Sultan 1513 oat of Young Peanuts by Irvington
879, grandam Peanuts (dam of Sweetbiiar 2:26i) by Geo. M.
Patchen Jr. 31, great grandam Peanuts, a trotting mare,
pedigree untraced. This horse was foaled in 1884 and died
in 1887. He left no representatives in the standard list, nor
any producing sons or daughters.

The other horBe called Saltan Jr. was also bred by L. J.
Rose and was by Sultan 1513, and oat of May Sproule by
The Moor 870. He was foaled in 1888, and was sold to a
party in 8outh America. He has no standard performers.

Foreign breeders are beginning tj think they have a
winning chance with their colts in thn country. The
Charter Oak Park management have received the nomination
of the foals of ten ma es from a breeder at Bologna, Italy, to
the Hartford Futuiity. The mares were bred in the United
States, by the way.

At the laet meeting of the Directors of the Golden Gate
Park Driving Association it was decided that trophies would
be offered for two races to be held on the Bpeedway in the
park on Saturday afternoon, March 31st. Entries will be
received and horses classified as usual. An open meeting of
the Club will be held Tuesday evening next, at the rooms in
the Palace Hotel, at which time entries cm be made and all
particulars learned Horses that cannot be classified for
these two events will race the Saturday following. If the
weather ie at all propitious there will be a large number of
starters and great sport at this meeting and the speedway
will be lined with spectators. -Just previous to the present
rain tbe Bpeedway was in perfect condition for racing and a
few days of sunshine will again put it in shape as no driving
over it is allowed in wet weather. The club members are
enthusiastic over the meeting to be held Memorial Day at
the Oakland Race Track, and the probabilities are that the
largest entry list in the history of the Association will be

received.

Harness for the Paris Exposition.

Visitors to the Paris Exposition this yesr will have the
opportunity of comparing the best American made light
harness with that made in Europe. The well known firm of
J. O'Kane has forwarded to Paris for display at the exposi-
tion a set of light double road harness, a single track har
ness, a single road harness, also a set of hopples, blankets,
boots, bits and racing paraphernalia that will doub.less be of
great interest to Europeans, especially those identified with
harness racing and road riding. The booth will certainly
carry off first premium as they did at the World's Fair at
Chicago, where they excited the admiration of every horse-
man who saw them. The harness is the finest ever sent out
of tbe United States, and quality and fine workmanship are
superlative in every part. The firm of J. O'Kane is entitled
to much praise for Us enterprise in making such a fine dis-
play at the big exposition, as this alone will certainly do a
great deal to draw attention to California industries and show
that in this line at least this State leads the world.

A report comes from Indianapolis that Ed Mills, of Bos-
ton, has offered Jesse Fletcher, of that city, $4500 for tbe
mare Ebba, by Red Wilkes. The mare is a four year old
and has been a mile in 2:13. Last year sbe started nine

Mr. C. L. Bailey, the well known Kentucky breeder and
trainer of saddle horses will be among tbe exhibitors at tbe
Paris Exposition. He will ship his chestnut saddle stallion
Domioor over and show the French people what the Ameri-
can saddle horse is like. Domioor is a son of tbe famous

Solano county, to S. H. Hoy's staLion Bayswater Wilkes.
Miss Glenn is by Algona, and as another daughter of Algona
produced Kelly Brings 2:10-1 when bred to Bayswater Wilkes,
Mr. Marshall believes it is the proper croes, and he is right.
Bayswater Wilkes will be a great producer if mate with
fairly good mares.

That luck cuts a considerable figure in racing is well
exemplified in the running of the Burns Handicap. Dr. H.
E. Rowell's stable representatives have been twice first and
once second in the last three renewals of this stake, thus
winning about thirty per cent, of all the money offered in
five yeaiB. Though apparently outclassed in every instance
Dr. Rowell's horses proved winners through the fact that the
various races either were not true run events or some other
circumstances arose which redounded to their advantage.

Geoeoe Ketch ait received a letter recently from Walter
Winans, the noted English horseman, who is a great fancier
of the American trotter, in which he stated he is trying to
adapt the American horse to as many uses as possible. A
short time ago he gave a hunt, and loaned Blackstone 2:20
to a friend and guest on the hunt; and the former Toledo
trotter carried the gentleman a three minute gait during tbe
entire ran of twelve miles and came in a good second at the
finish being only beaten by a crack hunter ridden by Mr.
Winans.

Most of the leading jockeys have signed contracts for tbe
coming season. T. Burns continues with J. W. Schorr &
Son, W. O'Connor will remain with A. Featherstone, who
now owns the Bromlev & Co. stable, and Jenkins again rides
for W. M. Rogers. J. Bull man will ride for G. B. Morris,
R. Clawson has been signed by D. Gideon at a reputed
retainer of $10,000, Pete Clay, who rode Imp last season,
will again be in the employ of Harness <& BroBsman. G.
Odom is under contract to W. C. Whitney for three years at
$10,000, H. Spencer will be with tbe stable f James R.
Keene, Boland will ride for C. H. Smith of Chicago, N.
Turner, recently reinstated, will ride for W. C. Whitney;
the lightweight T. Walsh, who has made a good showing in
California this winter, will ride for L. V. Bell, New York,
and W. Shaw will ride for G E 8mith ("Pittsburgh Phil").

The founder of the Empire City track, ex Corporation
Counsel W. H. Clark, died at his home, on West Seventy-
sirth street, New York, February 17th. He was born at
Newark, N. J . Nov. 29, 1855, was educated in the public
schools and studied law with Bourke Cochran. He wsb ad-
mitted to the bar in 1882, and became a partner of Mr Coch-
ran the following year. Mr, Clark waB corporation counsel
under both Hugh Grant and Thomas Gilrov, during their
occupancy of tbe mayor's chair, and was one of the most
prominent members of Tammany Hall. A big-hearted
fellow, he was a man that was popular with all classes. HiB
death will affect tbe trotting horse interests in New York a
great deal, Empire City Park was the pet enterprise of his
ambition. Into it he put over $300,000 of his own money,
and nearly $750,000 all told. Just what its future may be it
is impossible now to say.

Last year's great racing champion, the black mare Imp,
is in fire shape for early training. She has wintered with-
out a day of illness and has been engaged for twenty-three
stakes and handicaps. Sbe is to be trained at the Chilicothe
Driving park, and will go to Morris Park late in April, and
if all goes well will go to the post in the famous Brooklyn
Handicap. Her greatest rivals this year are likely lo be W.
0 Whitney's Jean Beraud and Perry Belmont's Ethelbert.
Jean Beraud shows no trace of unsoundness, and while he
was on the shelf nearly all lkst year, this enforced retirement
has brought him back to bis three venr old physical condi-
tion. There is no reason why he should not have all bis old-
time speed. Ethelbert is as sound as a dollar, bss grown
and deepened, and will come to hand early. There will be
many great equine battles with Imp, Jean Beraud and Elhe!-
bert as tbe factors, and it will take more than one or u
rtOM to determine the question of supremacy.

1893, aggregating $140 930, and the Futurities closed but
not yet trotted, raised this lolal to $212 000. In the folder
is a quotation from Ihe sayings of Brook Curry, tbe David
Harum of Kentucky — he of tbe famous "reinforced hocks"
story. "At the price, if a mare isn't worth entering in tbe
Foturitv, she's not worth her keep. If her foal isn't
worth keeping in the Futurity, use an axe on it and cut of
expenses." Curry proves the faith that is in him by an-
nually naming every mare in foal to bis stallions.

When on his way to California Henry Titer stopped off
at Topeka. Kan., and looked at a four year old filly, which
report said wbb one of tbe most promising young trotters in
the country. It wbb evident that Mr. filer liked the filly aa
Mr. Forbes has purchased her at a reported price of $2500.
Mr. Dugao, tbe former owner of tbe filly arrived in Boston
with her last Monday. The filly in question is Lady Etbelvn

Chicago will have another race track operating in its
vicinity next spring. The rumor that the Worth one-mile
track was to be opened has beea current for some time past,
but as often as that rumor has been started it has been denied.
Now, however, the matter has been verified, and the fact of
the track being placed in condition for racing in the very near
future is a matter about which there can be no dispute.
There is plenty of capital behind the prr ject, and there is no
reason to doubt that the track will be io readiness to begin
its racing season as contemplated, on April 15th.

Oakland Summaries.

The veteraD jockey Marty Bergen has signed a contract to
ride for Louis Ezell for the season of 1900.

Tahcoola should not be overlooked by breeders this year.
He is standing at the Ruinart stock farm io Sonoma county
at a fee of $50.

Jockey Devis, who rode the wiener in the BurnB Handi-
cap, was presented with $300 by Br. H. E. Rowell, the
owner of Imperious.

The stewards at Oakland have decided to refuse the entry
of Bishop Reed for the future; the in and out running of the
horse is the cause for this decision.

Ducat, bay horse by imp. Deceiver, will make the season
of 1900 at a fee of ¥40- His announcement appears in our
advertising columns to-day and will interest horsemen.

R. Marsh, the English trainer at Newmarket, has in
training this season eighty-five horses. Mr. Marsh, in addi-
tion to bis own horseB, trains for the Prince of Wales, Duke
of Devonshire and others^

The judges are investigating the riding of Jockey T.
Walsh. The improved Bhowing of Montallade Saturday
caused the officials to ask for explanations. They also have
another ride charged up to the boy.

On February 2Sth at Marcus Daly's Bitter Root Stock
Farm imp. The Task (dam of imp. Sain) dropped a brown
filly foal which was sired by Hamburg. This is the first of
Hamburg's get to make its appearance.

Several of the turf writers on the daily press, in com-
menting on the BurnB Handicap, have made the statement
that had Spencer bestrode Topmast instead of Bergen, he
would have been first at the wire If the recollection of the
writer serves him, several efforts of Spencer in past times
when mounted on Topmast came in fir considerable well de-
served adverse criticism not only on the part of the above
mentioned scribes, but also of the owners of the horse io
question. It would be interesting to know the reason why
critics, who are always harping on the inconsistency o
horses, should bo readily fall into the error themselves.

The first stab'es to leave California for the Eastern tracks
are those of Jno. W. Shorr & Son and F. W. Doss which left
this week for New Orleans. The Schoor horses will be raced
at the Crescent City while Mr. Doss will reehip from there ,
to Memphis.

At La Belle Stud on February 20th W. C. Whitney's
Kildeer by Darebin out of Lou Lainer dropped a bay filly
foal by imp. Meddler. Kildeer was bred at Rancho del
Paso and is one of the four horses which have run a mile
faster than 1:38 in a race.

Mb. A. B. Si? beck els recently culled out a dozen thor-
oughbred mares from those at his Napa Stock Farm and bred
them to Darnethat II., a coach horse belonging to Dr. Sam*
merfield of Santa Rosa. Mr. Spreckels makes this experi-
ment with the idea of producing a good type of carriage
horse.

Gebaldine, the well known sprinter, and one of the fast'
est horses ever bred in California, died this week at the A.
B. 8preckele' Napa Stock Farm. Eleven yearB ago Geral-
dine, with 122 lbs. in the saddle, ran a half mile in 46 sec-
onds which is still a worlds record. She was retired from
the turf about four years ago and has since been in the stud
at Mr. Spreckels Farm.

It looks as if Mr. Jennings had been rather hasty in
declaring Bendoran out of the BurnB Handicap; as the race
was run (with Bendoran's well known mud running pro-
clivities, and the turn of speed which he possesses) he should
have had no difficulty in opening up such a commanding
lead in the first mile, that his opponents never would have
been able to catch him notwithstanding the weight which he
was conceding to them.

Declarations from the Brooklyn Handicap are Chacor-
nac, 106 lbs.; Aleol, 123; Lieber Karl, 115; Dunois, 110; Kil-
marnock, 102; Harrv Nutter, 100; L«mplighted, 97; Toddy,
94, and De Lacy, 93. Banastar, Muskadine, Wither e and
Mayor Gilroy, the nominations of the late William H. Clark,
are not eligible, through the death of the nominator.
Dunois, 110; Decanter, 108; Toddy, 94, and De Lacy, 93,
have been declared out of the Suburban.

Last Saturday was the fifth anniversary of the running f
the Burns Handicap, and the event was decided in the pre -
ence of one of the largest crowds of the season, despite the
rainy weather and the muddy condition of the track. The
contest was a decided failure from a high class racing stand-
point owing to the fact that the rich purse was contended for
by a lot of cheap selling platers. Imperious, with the light
impost of 96 pound?, captured the long end of the purse,
with Rosinante second and Formero third. The muddy
track was, to a great extent, responsible for the victory of
the son of Morello, who occupied a good position throughout
and won easily bv two length?; the Btruggle for the place and
show money was desperately contested, heads only separating
Rosinante, Formero, Topmast, Constellator end Arbaces,
which finished in the order named. Pat Morrissey, with
Thorpe in the saddle, made a strong bid for the monev, lead-
ing by three or four lengths for a mile and an eighth,
but the distance proved too far for him. Dr. Sheppard was
second for the first quarter of a mile, where his JDcke/lost
control of him and he ran to the outside of the track, thus
destroying his chances. The v. inner had all the racing luck,
even to the extent of his stable companion, Malay, interfer-
ing badly with Formero on the far turn and carrying him out;
a fact of which, by the way, no notice was taken. The Burns
Handicap is the richest stake for all aged horses in the West
and the amount of money bung up equals that offered in
either the Brooklyn or Suburban Handicaps, the two most
important classic events of the year. The California Jockey
Club is entitled to great credit in offering such an amount of
money and it must be very discouraging to them to feel that
their efforts in this matter should have failed to bring
together a better field of horses than the ordinary lot of sell-
ing platers which faced the starter on March 3, 1900.

Barney Fchreiber's good two year old filly Sofala has
been a number of times incorrectly described on the program
as ont of Spozia; her dam's name is Apozea and is so registered
in Vol. VII. of the American Stud Book under her dam,
which is Patricia by Vauihall. Apozea is a half sister to
Entricia, the darn of Prime Minister, and was bought bv Mr.
Schreiber at Malone & Prince's sale at Gallatin, Term.
Apozea was never raced or even broken prior to beiog sold.

Among the thoroughbred stallions advertised in the
Breeder and Sportsman this year is imp. Treatola who
will make the season in Sonoma county. Imp. Trentola is
one of the best bred horses in the world, a winner himself in
both Australia and America, and one of the moBt magnifi-
cent specimens of thoroughbred horse flesh ever seen. Tren-
ton, sire of imp. Trentola, headed the list cf winning sires
in Australia for Reveral seasons and was purchased for the
Cobham 8tud in England in 1895 at a price exceeding
$60,000. Imp. Trentola's dam Gondola was bv Paul Jones,
a grand race horse, by Bucanneer, who ran a mile in 1:38 io
England; bis second dam Matchless, by the greatest sire ever
known, Stockwell; third dam Nonpareille (a mare brought
to America in 1872 by Hon. A. Belmont of New York).
From tbla line came imp Kingston a very successful sire in
Australia, and also Whalebone, Whisker, Penelope, the un-
beaten Bay Middleton, Jeddah (winner of the Derby 1898)
and scores of other turf celebrities. Imp Trentola comes
from the "No. 1" family on the Bruce-Lowe plan and ii
likely to prova a "No. 1" sir*.

Australian Notes.

fNew Zealand Sporting Review.]

Mr. Dakin has given Seahorse 9 2 in the Newmarket
Handicap, and S 10 in the Australian Cup. Bobadil heads
the handicap in both races, his weight being respectively,
9.13 and 9 10. Merriwee, the V. K. C. Derby and Melbourne
Cup winner, is on the same mark with Seahorse in the two
mile and a quarter race.

A veteran rider has just taken out a jockey's license in
Brisbane. This is Paddy Piggott, who rode Haricot to vic-
tory in the Melbourne Cup, five-and-'wenty years ago.

The well known Australian horse Port Admiral (by Rich-
mend out of Footstep) is advertised for sale in the December
number of the "International Horse Agency and Exchange
Register," the price asked being 3C00 guineas.

A filly foal by the Australian sire Trenton from Lady Jane
Sterling brought 390 guineas at the Newmarket blood Block
sales in December, the purchaser being Mr. R. Sneyd, who
also gave 260 guineas for a filly foal by Carnage from Lady
Halle.

The three year old colt Simile, which has just arrived io
Australia, is by Si. Simon from Mimi (winner of the Oaks)
by Barcaldine from Exile II. 's dam, by Lord Lyon from
Sadie, by Yoltigeur. He was bred by Sir Tatton Sykes, and
cost Mr. L. Brassey 1750 guineas as a yearling, but the price
paid by Mr. J. Brown of Newcastle (to whom the colt wa^
consigned) was much below that flgure. Simile does not
appear to have raced, but be is said to be strong and well
shaped, and likely to make his mark at the etud. A full
brother to Simile is standing at the Langton Hall stud,
Northallerton, Yorkshire, at the fee of 45 guineas, and his
list has been full for the last two seasons. There are now
five St. Simon horses in Australia — Simile, Haut Brion, Bilj
of Portland, Simmer and Gigue — and two — Cyrenian and
Soult — in this colony.

"Aemcdeue" thinks that the V. R. C. Leger lies between
Merriwee and Parthian. Writing about the race, be says:
"Spring and autumn are separated by a loog interval, and
the three vear old form is in consequence open to undergo a
material chaoge. Past experience affords overwhelming
proof of this. For instance, Newbaven, like Merriwee, won
the Derby and Melbourne Cup, yet he was not equal in cap
luring the St. Leger, even though odds of 9 to 4 were laid on
him. He Buccumbed to The Officer, just as Wallace struck
his flag to Cabin Boy the preceding year. Twelve months
before that Preston similarly fluked the Red Ribbon from
The Harvester, and equally fresh to the memory is Culloden's
overthrow of Camoola. The Champion Stakes running of
Newhaven, Wallace, The Harvester and Camoola shows how
easy is is for the beat horse to sutler defeat in the St. Leger,
and heaps of other precedents could be cited in support of
the strut thing."

THE PROSPECTS for the coming season of harness
raciDtr in the United States outclass the actual condi-
tions of 1899, which was the banner year of the light
harness turf. All over the country east of the Eocky
Mountains associations are already in the field with pro-
grams and dates, and the list of "dates claimed" in some
of the papers fill a half page set in small type. Men
are traveling from ocean to ocean looking for high class
green horses, or horses with records that have a chance
to win in their class, and though willing to pay good
prices find few for sale. One of the best men in the
business was interviewed in Chicago last week by an
Inter-Ocean representative and this is his opinion as to
the outlook : " You may set it down as a certainty that,
big as the trotting and pacing season of 1899 was, that
of 1900 will surpass it in every way. More dates are
already claimed, the number of circuits will be largely
increased, more money will be offered and the number
of races larger. I even believe that the class of horses
will be better, and this is a pretty stiff statement, con-
sidering the large number of high grade animals that
performed last year. I can con6dently predict that
1900 will be the banner year for trotters and pacers.
When the fact is recalled that something like $4,000,000
was hung up in stakes and purses on trotting tracks
last season, and that this amount was then considered
phenomenal, it will naturally cause surprise to know
that it is to be increased this year. But such is the
fact. If the plans now under consideration are carried
out fully $5,000,000 will be offered as prizes for trotters
and pacers this year. Never before have the managers
of associations been in the field bo early or shown so
much desire to arrange their programs to meet the wishes
of the horsemen. New tracks are being constructed in
many sections where the sport has been dead for yearB;
in other sections old ones are being worked into shape,
0 far as the weather allows, and there ia a general over-

hauling of buildings and grounds. Dubuque, which de-
clared itself out of the game last fall, is in again, bigger
than ever, and will present a card that will eclipse its
famous $S0,000 meeting of 1899. Even Mr. Hancock
himself bas caught the spirit of the times and is back
in harness. He has been prevailed upon by the people
of Dubuque to retake his old post as managing official
of the association, and he is hard at work trying to
frame up a programe that will cause as much surprise
among horsemen as did his famous blue ribbon card of
last year. There is a strong probability that a big
trotting meeting may be given this summer at Washing-
ton Park, Chicago. If this is done an effort will be
made to bring off a free-for-all stallion race for a big
purse. An offer of, say, $20,000 would draw a great
field of cracks, and be productive of a race that would
be the ligbt-harneaB event of the century. Chicago has
tbe men capable of handling just such an attraction,
and the horses can be readily secured. A free-for-all
stallion race, with such stars as Tommy Britton, Peter
the Great, Bingen, Cresceus and four or five others of
similar class contending for a $20,000 stake would pack
Washington Park with a regular Derby day crowd,
especially if the winner's portion (should be placed at
$15,000, as it ought to be." While California, owing to
its comparatively small population, cannot be expected
to offer as big purses to harness horses as are being hung
up by the associations East, the whole State has taken
on the spirit of new life in harness horse affairs and the
circuit of 1900 will be worth training horses for. About
$50,000 will be Lung up on the Northern California cir-
cuit alone and when the State Fair, the Breeders and the
associations at Santa Rosa, Napa, Vallejo, Stockton, San
Jose, Salinas, Hollister, Fresno, Tulare, Lob Angeles,
Sania Ana, Hueneme, Eureka and twenty more smaller
districts are heard from, the amount of money offered
for trotting and pacing races in California this year will
be at least $200,000. There is not a horse in California
that raced well last year and is now sound, but can be
sold at a good figure, and this fact should teach owners
that if they have good horses they wish to sell they will
find buyers quicker by racing their horses than by any
other method. Every owner of a good trotter or pacer
should train and race him this year.

THE EFFORT of the Sacramento bookmakers who
have been driven out of business in that city by miblic
opinion and the law, to set up their gambling rooms
across the river in Yolo county, is audacious to say the
least. Luckily there iB a most stringent law against
pool rooms on the statutes of Yolo county which pro-
vides a very severe penalty for those violating it, and
the District Attorney has stated that he will enforce it.
It is to be hoped that he will be backed up in his good
work by the citizens of the entire county. Horse breed-
ers especially should lend their aid to the suppression of
these evils. Poolrooms are a detriment to the horse
breeding industry. They depreciate horse values, and
arouse a feeling against racing that would have no ex-
istence but for them. One of the amusing phases of the
poolroom fight in Yolo county is that the very parties
who are now trying to evade the law were instrumental
in getting it passed. A certain poolroom proprietor in
Sacramento was annoyed at the existence of an opposi-
tion and contrived to shut out the rival from the privi-
leges of a leased wire from the San Francisco tracks. To
retaliate they moved across the river to Yolo county and
secured results by telephone. The monopolist then in-
stigated the good people of Yolo to the passage of a pro-
hibitive ordinance. It was made iron clad and the legal
fraternity were unanimous in the opinion that it could
not be evaded. Now that Sacramento has abolished th6
poolroom, the same parties who suggested the passage of
the Yolo ordinance now want it replaced. It is not
likely the Yolo Supervisors will repeal the law.

A FIVE DOLLAR BILL, mailed to Secretary H.
W. Wilson, Lexington, Kentucky on or before Thursday
next, March 15th, accompanied by the name and des-
cription of a mare that has foaled or is due to foal this
year, may enable you to win a portion of the $20,000
Kentucky Futurity. This first payment is not a large
amount, but your colt will not be able to win any part
of the stake unless it ib paid. When the Futurity of
this year is trotted the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breed-
ers Association will have paid over a million dollars to
the money winners in this great stake. It is undoubt-
edly the world's best, richest and most liberal trotting
colt stake. See full particulars in our advertising
columns.

WITH THE SAD EXPERIENCE of the last few
years still fresh in their minds it would seem that even
among farmers in the rural districts the cheap cross-road
stallion would be left absolutely without patrons. But,
of course, such is not now the case, and never will it be
so. To the detriment of all classes of breeders be it
said : "The poor we always have among us," the supply
alwayB being kept up by those who have eyes, yet see
not, and those who have ears yet will not hear. The
cheap horse is cheaper now than he ever was before, and
he will continue to grow cheaper. His place in the
business of the country is gone, and that never to re-
turn, a Why then should he be propagated? Reason
fails to give one. There are, among farmers and small
breeders those who from false ideas of economy will
patronize cheap and worthless stallions instead of good
oneB. This is false economy and bad business. The
truth of the matter is the poorer a man is the less he can
affore to patronize a cheap stallion and raise a cheap
horBe. The oftener he does this the poorer he will get.
As prices of different grades of horses run now days, and
as stallion fees run, no mare is fit to be bred at all whose
owner cannot afford to breed to a fair stallion, for there
is more clear gain in raising no colt at all than raising a
poor, out-classed, nondescript one. Nay, verily; shun
the cheap cross road Btallion as you would the "double-
back stick" policy shop, for one is just as sure to brin^
you net losses as the other — only the cheap stallion road
is longer, more torturous, and the losBes never stop. —

THE LOS ANGELES DRIVING CLUB has inau-
gurated a novel feature by arranging lor a driving prom-
enade. Members of the club are to appear on one of
the city's highways this afternoon for the purpose of
showing the general public what the driving club has
accomplished in the ' way of promoting the interest in
fast horses and fine turnouts. It ia the intention of the
club to hold similar driving promenades in the future in
hopes of making the street whereon it is held popular
as a driving thoroughfare. No fast driving will be per-
mitted, so there will be no danger to pedestrians, wheel-
men or other habitues of the Btreet. The club has a
double purpose in holding these promenadeB. The first
is to correct the idea that the club is entirely a racing
organization; the second to show what Los Angeles has
in the way of well bred road animals and fine vehicles.
Decked in the club colors of blue and orange, the club
will be out in force; Among the well known horses the
following will participate : Chico, Harry Winchester,
Sophia R , Beechwood, Nellie B., Seaside, Ardent, Roan
Wilkes, Mowitza, Larrie, Dewey, Billy Green, Cash,
Beveta, Lijero and Stipulator.

WHEN the Kentucky Stock Farm changed its name
to the American Stock Farm nearly every one of its
readers thought a mistake had been made, as the word
" Kentucky " was distinctively representative, and kept
the journal in touch with the very home of the trotting
horse. Word comes that Mr. Desha Breckenridge has
purchased this paper, and the first change made will be
endorsed by its patrons. This is a reversion to the old
name, and the journal will again be known as the Ken-
tucky Stock Farm. Under the new management Judge
Irving Halsey, who is one of the best known writers on
ail subjects pertaining to the breeding, rearing and
training of the light harness horse, will be in charge of
the editorial columns. This iB a guarantee that the
editorial columas of the Kentucky Stock Farm will be
conducted on the broadest and wisest lines, and will be
a benefit to every man interested in any branch of the
horse industry. Mr. Frank Kennev, who was Secretary
of the Louisville Trotting Association, will be in charge
of the Kentucky Stock Farm Purses and the advertising
columns of the paper, and Mr. W. W. Smith will remain,
as he has been for the past six years, managing editor
of the newB department.

READVILLE'S EARLY CLOSING PURSES,
amounting to $28,000, close to-day. The Blue Hill for
2:30 trotters is $5000, The Massachusetts for 2:12 trotters
is $10,000, The Neponset for 2:10 pacers iB $5000, there
is $3000 for pacerB of the 2:14 class, $3000 for 2:25
pacers, and $2000 for three year olds trotters in the 2:25
class. Hobbles will not be barred in these races and
payments are easy. Readville has one of the best ap-
pointed race tracks in the world and the meeting will be
held August 20th to 26th this year. Horsemen who are
going East should not miss making entries in these
events.

THE DIRECTORS of the State Agricultural Society
are going ahead aa if they expect to have plenty of
racing at the next fair, pool selling or no pool selling.
They have advertised for bids for placing a coating of
clay on the track, in accordance with plans and specifi-
cations on file in the secretary's office.

fanciers were present. Among those present were Josiah
Collins, George Tinto, E. M. Palmer, Mort Atkinson, Nick
Hanna. C. 6. Yandell, Julius Redeisheimer, Arthur Griffin,
D. A. Upper, Oscar Jones, Frank Shafter, Dt. Mcintosh aod
H. C. Bromley.

Tne election of officers for the ensuing year resulted as
folJows: President, Josiah Collins; Vice-President, Jalins
Redelsheimer; Secretary and Treasurer, D. A. Upper; Ex-
ecutive Committee aod Bench Show Committee, R. M.
Palmer, C B. Yandell and George Tinto.

At the opening of the meetiog President Collins Btated
that he had held his office for so many years he thought it
was time for him to step down and give some one else a
chance. Mr. Redebheimer immediately replied that no one
bad done more for the interest of well-bred canineB in Seattle
than Mr, Collins, and he did not think the club would listen
for one moment to a change of presidents. The election of
officers was ananimouB.

From the membership list the executive committee will
select fifteen honorary vice-presidents. In the desire to in-
crease the membership of the club, Mr RedelBheimer offered
two prizss, the first a Buit of clothes or an overcoat, and the
second a smosiog jacket, for toe largest number of members
brought in by any one member of the club. A role of
thanks was extended to Mr. Redelsheimer for his generous
oflar. It is expected that the membership of the club will
reach the 250 limit before the opening of the bench show
next April.

The reason that no definite datj for the show could be
fixed was that tne club is compelled to consult with the
officers of the Pacific Kennel League as to dales. The desire
of Seattle is to hold its exhibitions at each a time as will
permit of the presence of all of the famous California and
British Columbia dogs. Early in April will come the nearest
to meeting the existing circumstances. It will give the
Southern dogs an opportunity to return home in time to tase
part in the San Francisco show, and also the show which
will probablv be held in Portland, following that held in
this city. From communications received from Portland
and statements made by Secretary Upper and C. B Yandell,
it appears that the two cities, for once in the history of dog
matters, are working in harmony and rnat the benefit of one
will be the benefit of the other.

R. M. Palmei submitted resolutions dealing with the class-
ification of dogs, which he hopes the Pacific Kennel League
will adopt. It is modeled after the revised classification of
the American Kennel Club, but contain1; changes to suit the
conditions on the Pacific Coast, where the list of entries can
net be as large. Mr. Palmer also submitted a resolution in
the form of a petition, having in view the establishment by
the Pacific Kennel League of a stud book. The fee for
registration will be 50 cents, and certified copies of pedigrees
will cost 25 cents. It is proposed to have the league recog-
nize the stud books of the American Kennel Club and also
the Canadian Kennel Club. The secretary was instructed to
forward copies of the petition to the secretary of the leagne
at San Francisco.

The Tacoma Kennel Club have set the dates for the spring
bench show on April 4th, 5 h, 6:h and 7ih. The Seattle
Bench show will be held tbe following week and the Port-
land club immediately after Seattle. This will allow exhibits
from California, Britiah Columbia, Oregon and Washington
without conflicting dates.

J. W. Burrell paid us a visit during the week. He reports
doggy interests in Sao Jose aod vicinity to be boomiDg. There
will be a number of entries from that section for our May
show.

Mr. Burrell is arranging to take a string of dogs up
north very shortly. He will handle them over the northern
circuit, after which he contemplates returning to this city
in time for the bcal show, briogiog with him quite a Lumber
of northern dogs.

a The St. Bernard Club of California, the Pacific Bull Ter-
rier Club and tbe Pacific Fox Terrier Club will shortly an-
nounce a valuable and elegant list of specials to be competed
for by their representative breeds entered at the coming
bench show.

The Premium List for the local show will be issued about
April 1st. The office will be opened on that date at No. 238
Montgomery street, Dave Sinclair will be in charge.

Kennel Suggestions.

The KaoBas City Kennel Club's third annual dog Bhow,
which is scoeduledto be held in Convention Hall from March
14. n to 17in, prumises to be tbe best ever held in he Central
West, as it follows tbe Chicago show. This assures a large
entry list, and tbe bench show committee expects that about
500 do*6 will be in competition. The premiums aggregate
about $2100 in cash, exclusive cf the u = ual special club
medals and cups.

Tne Ureal Dane Club, the Boston Terrier Club, the Amer-
ican Fox Terrier Club, the Collie Llub of America and the
American Spaniel Club all offer tbe usual tropbies given on
tbe grand circuit, and Frank J.Gould, W. K Nelson and
other fanciers of national reputation also offer valuable cups
for various breeds. The entries closed March 7th. Many
nominations were received by mail.

E. M. Oldham hse been secured as Superintendent cf the
Chicago tihow.

The California Collie Club announces the following
specials, for members only, to be competed for at tne May
show in LbiacUy: A silver medil for tne best collie dog,
also ailver med&l for the best collie bitch. For tbe beBt
California bred collie dog a broDZe medal, a bronze medai will
also be awarded to the best Cahioroia bred collie bitch.

Champion Le Prince Jr., owned by Fred H. Bushnell,
the well known photographer ol this city, took first honors
in Chicago this ween, wiooiug tbe trnpby awarded to the best
d g in tbe wionerti' clis»es at tbe Mascoutab Kennel Club

Hi. Louis show.

Entries for Ibe Chicago show numbered eleven hundred —
aren hundred and sixty dog« will he benched. This ia a fine
totry and puw the ihow in good pUce for Winneit' points.

Some seasonable hinfs for mating;, and puppy rasing are
given in an article published in Our Dogs. AmateurF are
eager for wisdom on these points and fanciers and veteran
breeders often find something up to date on a subject they
are always interested to, the management of the stud dog and
brood bitch :

"Probably quite 40 per cent, cf prizs-bred bitches which
visit prize-bred stud doge, are unproductive, and we should
say that in quite two-thirds of those caseB tbe fault lies, not
with either the dogs or the bitches, but with the owners. In
Borne cases these breeding disappointments arrive through
ignorance of the subject on the part of the latter, and in
others for lack of observance of the most simple but very
necessary precautions io the mating and management, some-
times of the dog and at other limes of the bitch. Some
dog owners are so illiterate in the matter of dog breeding
that they are positively in ignorance cf the fact that before a
bitch can breed she must come in season (scientifically termed
agjtrum), which means, of course, that periodically her sexuaj
functions become io such a state that she will seek the society
of the male of her Bpecies for purposes of sexual intercourse,
aod at Buch times only; and that such intercourse will be
absolutely unavailing and futile for breeding at any other
time. 8uch owners are probably not very numerous, bn1
they do exist, and cur remarks are intended to educate the
unschooled as well as enlighten those who have some experi-
ence, whilst the more practiced^breeder may probably find
Bomething to benefit him in his pursuit — some little item
which may have escaped his attention — in the hints we shall
offer.

It will probiblv be as well to first point oat that animals
of whatever kind d:urish best when kept under conditionB
most nearly approaching their own natural life and habits.
The dog is, of course, a domesticated animal, reclaimed from
hie wild state to which he would quickly degenerate if left
to himself. The nearer, therefore, he is kept to what we
may suppose would be his wild existence the better. We
offer tbeEe remarks on the threshold of our article, because
the way in which both a stud dog and brood bitch are kepc
and fed has much to do w<th the success or non-success which
will attend attempts at breeding from them

The dog in his wild state would to a certain extent live
upon Buch prey as the wolf, fox or jackal (who are branches
of the same family) would subsist. Although the dog'8
domestication must to some eitert modify this menu, yet the
foregoing fact cannot be too well kept in view by dog keepers*
Briefly, the less cooking there is in the kennel the better.
Wholesome dog bisuits aod hound meal, which generally
contain suitable proportions of farinaceous and vegetable in-
gredients and some meat 'to dried form, should form the
dog's staple diet. These foods are always best given dry, the
biscuits being good for his teeth, and may occasionally be
Boaked in water or sheep's bead broth for a change. In
addition to this food, both stud dogs and brood bitches should
have a meal eff raw, sound, lean fl^sh meat and uncleaned
butcher's cffil, at least twice a week, acd bones, with regular'
or at least freq lent, access to grass and to pure water
constantly.

Grass is the dog's great antidote to disease. There is a
particular blade of grass which he will select from the rest
which acts as a vermifuge, whilst there are other qualities in
the herb that have never yet been filhomed by canine
puhologv, but which are of the greatest benefit to his health*
This ' bill of fare ' may be said to be adapted to all dogs ex"
cept toys, for which it should be modified somewhat by the
substitution for Eome of the dishes mentioned, by scraps from
the table, table biscuit sosked in milk or gravy, etc, etc.

Taking the stud dog first, we must first consider his habita-
tion. All kennels should be erected with a south or south-
west aspect. Brick built kennels, with concrete fl >ors and
runB, are beet, but if wooden kennels they should consist of-
double casement sides, in order to insure warmth and dry.
neee. They should be provided with loose or detached
roomy benches, which are much better than attached
benches, from tbe point of view of cleanliness. The kennel
should be free from draughts, yet well ventilated, and tne
floors should be laid or made with a decided gradient, in
order that tbe urine may get away qoickly.

This applies to ooldoor kennels, of course, for the laiger
medium and small breeds alike. For the small breeds kep[
in the bonse, a box with one side knocked out and raised
from the floor makes a good sleeping bench.

Yorkshire terrier breeders often convert their kitchen
dressers into kennel , and nothing makes a better canine
habitation for a dog of this breed, a toy spaniel or a Pom.
A linen wrapper is a good thirg for a bed for such dogs, but
for the outdoor kennels clean whea' straw or pine wocd
sbaviDgs are b<=si. Pine wood sawdust should be used for
the latter for tbe purpose of absorbing the urine and excreta.

Feeding is the next item that requires attention. Many
owners believe in one meal per day only for dogs, and our
own experience has proved it an effectual method of keeping
dogB in good health and condition. If a second meal iB
given, it should consiu only of a light lunch of dry dog
biscuit or bound meal in a morniog, tbe more substantial
repast being given always at night.

All dogs should have regular exercise, thay cannot be io
good health without, and especially young dogs. If fine

outdoor exercise is best, and in wet weather provision should
be made for them to have the privilege under cover.

A stud dog should not be fed for at least 12 hours befoi*
serving a bitcb, and he should be taken for a short run before
the bitch i3 put to him, so that he may relieve nature. It iB
a most uowise practice to allow bitches in season to be kept
near to stud dogs, the probability in Buch cases being that
they will refuse to serve them, and should they be visitors
if the dogs are conscious of their proximity, it upsets them
causes them to fret and go off their food.

Many breeders, from a desire to allow their youog dogs to
get folly matured before putting them to stud, have cot
allowed them to 6erve any bitches until they have reached
the age of IS monthB or so. In many cases such a proceed-
ing is a mistake. We have known cases where this has been
done in which the dog had no notion of his duty, and only
with great difficulty has a union of the sexes been eff :cted—
in odd cases we have known it fail altogether. It is much
better to arrange matters so that a young dog may be allowed
to serve one or two bitches when he has reached the age rf
nine to twelve months; then he ib invariably most gallarj
and enterprising to the other sex. Then he may have a reel
for a few months. This plan will obviate the difficulty to
which we have referred, and at the same time in no way in.
terfere with the necessary process of maturity.

Every fancier of the larger breedB of dogs knowa how
important it is that the limbs should grow Btrong, especially
in the case of the St. Bernard, which is a heavy bodied dog
and Btands upon fairly long legs, which in consequence have'
considerable strain upon them. Young dogs often develop
in body so rapidly that their bodily weight exceeds the
power of their legato carry it, and hence we see dogs with
misshapen limbs. The only thing that can be done to pre-
vent this is to see that puppies are carefully dieted upon
bono-forming food, and no harm whatever can be done by
giving occasional doses of cod-liver oil, with hypophosphites
because the lime and phosphorus which that contains will go'
at once toward the necessary deposit of solid bone.

The bones of a young puppy, of course, are merely gristle,
gradually this Bets into something more solid, but the process
is gradual, and so a growing puppy needs to have bone-
forming food in small quantities regularly, so that the syBtem
can always assimilate just as much as it requires for nature's
purposes. When once a puppy's legs begin to bend in either
direction, unless prompt measures are taken the curvature
will become permanent, since every day means a little more
solidity in the bones.

There are instances, we think, in which the limbs can be
kept ftraighl by some such Bupport as a Bp.int would give.
The objection to this is, of course, that it will impede the
movements of the animal; but it will be found in experience
probably that it is only necessary for that to be worn for
ab,ort intervals at a time, the idea being to prevent the bone
from becoming Bet in a wrong position. Another good
tbiDg for growing bone in puppies is Parrish's Chemical
Food, which contains phosphates of iron, soda, lime, etc.*
all of which are necessary for the building up of the frame.
Another very important thing is to see that the animals have
plenty of exercise. It is a mistake to keep puppies too
closely confined— in fact, confinement is one of the causes
through which the body grows large and fat, and outstrips
the growth of the limb3. Let young dogs, therefore, have
all the exercise possible, and if anv of them show signB of leg
weakness, treat them as we have suggested, giving plenty of
bones to gnaw and by administering, at least once a day,
either a little chemical food or a capsule of cod liver oil
emulsion, with hypophosphites."

THE FARM.

The Pork and Bacon Hog.

The ordinary pig is a phlegmatic animal,
given to eating much and laying on fat at a
rate that delights its owner. There is noth-
ing nervous or high strung in him — so differ-
ent from the fine dairy eow, horse or thor-
oughbred sheep. The pig's disposition is
perfectly adapted by nature to the life it
leads, and so anybody can fatten one if there
is plenty of food at hand. He ia the poor
man's friend, too, because he will eat almost
anything.

Bat there is a difference even in pigs, and
breeders are just beginning to realize that
there are nervous, high-strung breeds that
will not so readily fatten. These nervous
pigs are not adapted to the work ordinarily
required of them. They would 611 the pork
barrel very slowly, and make doubtful profits
for the owner. Bat they are not without
their use in the world. They have a mission
to perform that has been only faintly real-
ized in this country. The nervous tempera-
ment in the pig makes him essentially the
bacon pig.

Here we have two broad distinctions that
should be observed carefully. The phleg-
matic pig for the pork barrel, and the ner-
vous, high-etrang pig for making bacon. The
former makes poor bacon. The meat is too
fat and greasy, and it sells poorly in the mar-
ket. Good bacon needs the streaks of lean
with the fat that an ordinary pork pig can-
not produce. His tendency to fatten unduly
is fatal to him. The pig with a nervous tem-
perament, on the contrary will not pay for
pork, bat it will prove a good profit as a
bacon hog. It is for this reason that the
Tamworth hog stands to-day as pre-eminently
the leading bacon hog. This animal is ner-
vous and active, and its constant alertness
lad discontentment prevents the laying on of
great slabs of fat. Bone, muscle and red
meat are the chief articles that its food goes
to form, and consequently it produces ideal
sides of bacon.

This characteristic of the animal should be
noted particularly, for it is its chief claim to
notoriety for making fine bacon. If you can
find another breed with the same neivoas,
high-strung temperament, you can with a
little careful breeding produce a line of bogs
that will make nearly or quite as good bacon
Some seem to think it is the food the Tam-
worth is fed on, or some inherited quality of
meat that accounts for the fine sides of bacon,
bat tbe explanation is more simple. It is the
temperament of the animal and its peculiar
construction of large heart and lung power,
which oiidizjs a great amount of food and
transforms it into bone, muscle and red meat.
There are other pigs in the country which
could be selected for the same characteristics,
and a new line of fine bacon producers could
be raised up in the course of lime.

The total supply of cattle in the United
States, as just promulgated by a statistician at
Washington, is 43,902,414 head made up of
16,292,360 milch cows and 27,610,054 other
cattle, largely steers, that are being or will
be fattened for the markets. These figures
are interesting in view of the fact that a pro-
nounced shortage in cattle has been generally
admitted for a few years. Granting that the
figures for a series of years back are equally
correct the number in the country this year
is the smallest since 1884, when the total given
was 42,547,307. From 1884 to 1892 there was
a steady increase until the number that year
reached 54,067,590 from which time the tide
set the opposite way, showing an almost un-
interrupted decrease up to the present lime.
All States have shown more or less loss.

One of the most striking lessons from the
recent wars is that which teaches as the value
of tbe borse for military purposes. It was
said at one time that the day for cavalry was
over. It has been proven, however, that the
nation which desires to win must have large
forces of mounted infantry. This fact has
especially gone home to the military nations
of Europe and the result will be lo create a
market for larger horses suitable for cavalry
and artillery purposes.

)f Dew ordinances added thereto by reaBon of the many and

rarioue charges in the county game and fish laws, particu-
arly those of recent date and of application in and around

responsible for the circulation of old matter that is now in-
correct in many details. Some complaint has been made in

juggested that for information of this character a reference
[>e made to current numbers of the Brreder and Sports

The Fly-Oasters Banquet.

The monthly meeting and dinner of the 8an Francisco
Fly-Casting Club last Tuesday evening was as usual a very
social and pleasant function. Some fifty of the members
and their guests sat down to a dainty repast which was en-
livened by excellent orchestral music, vocal bo!ob and lusty
choruses. After coffee and cigars routine business was at-
tended to in short order, following which Chairman Walter
D Mansfield addressed the company on the congenial topic
of fly-casting, his remarks being a general resume of fly-
caBling work, dry fly-casting coming in for a very unique and
intelligent description. The speaker also showed tbe im-
portance of practice in an event that has not been closely
followed up heretofore, viz: bait or lure casting, especially as
black and striped bass fishing is blading many devotee?
among the anglers.

Fish Commissioner A. T. Vogelsang briefly and pleasantly
explained to the gentlemen present the work done by the
California Commission during the past year on the Truckee
and also divulged some contemplated improvements to be
carried out shortly on that stream.

Dr. Yon Hoffman, who is an ardent sportsman, related
some angling experiences. What the members told each
other confidentially from time to time is another story and
would have to be printed with specially made type to stand
the strain.

Among tnose present were: E. T. Allen, W. F. Hogart,
H. Battu, Dr. Von Hoffman, John Butler, W. A. Cooper, A,

B. CroweU, J X De Witt, G. C. Edwards, A. B. Fioch, P.
W. Watson, Clark Wise, F. M. Haight, R. Iaenbmck,
Charles Klein, A. E. Lovett, H. F. Muller, W. D. MaDsfield,
A. Muller, W. A. L. Miller, John Peltier, Charles Miller,
F. H. Reed, F. E. Daverkosen, H. E. Skinner, Louis Levy,

C. ^8tone, A. T. Vogelsang, James Watt, Boswell Kenniff,
H. U. Wyman, George Walker, C. G. Young and Michael
J. Geary.

Being alone, the entire stretch of waters is open to him.
Yonder, where a giant oak has fallen in the stream, ib hie
favor La spot for bait casting with shortened line. A com.
panion might have beaten him to this point cf vantage, or if
not, there are others, scarcely less favorable, which he might
have been prevented from skimming in their turn. Skim-
ming, as here used, is a word that will be understood by all
anglers. Where big fish lie concealed the first few casts
will usually bring a strike, or else frighten them from the
spot. It is the big fish that all wielders of the rod prefer to
capture. Smaller fry is mere caviare.

The lone and lucky angles with circumspection and in
silence. There is no Buper-exuberant fellow within haij
with continual shouts of: "Got another bass;"— 'Come on
down here; they're biting like blszeB."— "Where in 8am Hill
did you put that tackle box?" Merely the swieh of the
pliant rod, the faint Bplash of the bait bb it strikes the ripple*,
and, now and then, the much harped-upon 'music of the
reel,' telling that the barbed hook has found a victim. Up
and down the river bank he leisurely wends faia way, the
lone and lucky; or, if he angles from a boat, he moves from
spot to spot with noiseless stealth, while ever and anon an-
other captive goes into his creel or is Blipped upon his string.
And thus the morning passes, and when the noonday sun
loots down to discover tbe angler's whereabouts, be is found
wending his way homeward with the trophies of his skill,
not shunning the gaze of bis felHwman, but according small
satisfaction to those inquiring souls who wuuld question him
as to 'the when and the where and the how.' "

The Lone Fisherman.

Now that the opening of the trout season is almost upon
ub the members of the guild of anglers are in tbe throes of
"the* fever," and making eager preparations for their excur-
sions on the streams, the following written by a correspond*
ent of The Sportsmen's Review, will awaken responsive
chords in the breasts of the veterans sb well as convey some
timely hints to occasional? and novices:

"Did you ever notice that the 'lone fisherman' almost in*
variably has better luck than his brethren who angle in
couples or in equade? It is a fact, and, when you come to
think a bit, there is a good reason for its being such. More
strictly speaking, there are several reasons, and every one of
them of weight.

In the first place the angler who prefers solitude to the
companionship of hie fellows has more time to study the life
habits of fines and a better opportunity to cor floe his
thoughts to this single subject. In all matters such as the
selection of fishing waters, choice of bait (or fliee), and the
time and manner of conducting a campaign against the tribes
piscatorial, be is guided wholly bv his own judgment instead
of giving way to (he doubtful ideas of an associate. He has
learned that a certain way of fishing certain streams and
pools invariablv is rewarded with success, and be is not liable
to be mislead, by floating rumors of the big catches made by
Bill Smith or Tom Jones in some almost inaccessible mud
hole twenty-odd miles away. When the lone and lucky one
feels tbe fever taking hold of him and knows that the time
of his next fishing trip is near, be takes no man into his
confidence, but proceeds to make his preparations with pre-
cision and dispatch. He loses no sleep in wondering whether
he will catch anything; he wagers no cigars on his probable
good fortune, but when tbe hour of departure strikes, he
gathers up hie rod and bait basket, and travels.

He is early abroad, for experience has taught him that the
biggest fish believe in breakfasting betimes. Moreover, the
cool of tbe morning is by far the pleasanteBt time for angliDg.
The atmosphere before tbe Bun rises is more heavily laden
than later on with tbe aroma of tbe blossoms that beautify
forest and fi-ld, the birds are singing their sweetest, and even
tbe heart of man, however dwarfed and enchnined by tbe
artificial habits of civilizition, beats more warmlv then, and
with a truer pulse. Perhaps, at such a time, the solitary
angler feels a longing for congenial companionship, but he
feels that it is unobtainable, for his is a nature that ia not
shared by the multitude.

Leonard rods, reels and a full line of angling goods just to
hand can be seen at the H. E. Skinner Company's salesroom.
It would be a moBt critical angler indeed who could not find
any and every kind of tackle or paraphernalia necessary to
make a fishing trip satisfactory and successful.

Some excellent catches of steelhead have been made by
various anglers at Point Reyes recently. Tbe fish were of
fair Biz9. A few stee head and striped bass are being caught
in Russian river.

Clabrough, Golcher and Company have just received an
invoice of rods, tackle and anglers' specialties that are in
quality, varietv and prices, an innovation that will make the
fisherman marvel at tbe opportunities offered him in follow-
ing thp heni nf Mr sporting desires.

SUBSCRIPTION
THREE DOLLARS A YEAR

Among the few horses that have been selected by the
wise ones to dethrone The Abbot this year is Tommy
Britton 2:0S, the stallion that sold for $20,000 at auction
recently and was one of the best trotters out last season.
"He started but three times on the grand- oircuit and at
Columbus, in his last race, won in straight heats, the
time being 2 :0S}i, 2 :0S34 and 2 $&%. The week before,
at Cleveland, he had finished second to EUoree and
won two of the sis heats trotted. At Detroit he was not
placed. He left the circuit after his race at Columbus,
and continued his winning career in the West and
South, reducing his record to 2:08. Tommy Britton
has been campaigned every season but one since he was
a yearling, and was never so good as last year in the
hands of George West. He won $5800, $1750 of it being
grand circuit money, and he did not make a break in
any of his races. He lost the third heat
at Cleveland, after winning the first two
because of being sent away on a pace.
He is a highly finished brown horse,
standing about 15.1 and marked with
three white feet, the markings on the near
front and off hind legs extending to just
above the ankle. The off fore foot has a
white coronet He wears a six and a half
ounce shoe and a three ounce weight in
front, a three and a half ounce shoe be-
hind, medium high overcheck, open bridle,
breeching harness, quarter and knee boots
forward, scalpers, shin, ankle and speedy-
cut boots behind "

Tommy Britton was bred by Thomas
Britton of Louisville, Kentucky, and was
foaled in 1893. He is by Liberty Bell
13,201, who was a three year old when he
begot this great trotter. Liberty Bell is
a son of Bell Boy, the third son of Elec-
tioneer and Beautiful Belli. Liberty
Bell's dam, Prefix, was by Pancoast, and
his second dam Galatea by Messenger
Duroc. Tommy Britton's dam Keepsake
was also by Pancoast and his grandam
was by Contractor 1081 a son of Ajax 40,
and he by Hambletonian 10. As will be
seen, the blood of the old Hero of Chester is very much
in evidence in Tommy Britton's pedigree

Tommy Britton went into winter quarter last year a
Bound six year old that has shown steady improvement
every year since he was first campaigned. He has a
wonderful flight of speed, is game and consistent, very
seldom leaves his feet and has shown as much speed as
any horse. There are some who believe that he will be
the horse to dethrone Directum 2:05J£ but two and
three-quarter seconds pass very quickly at the end of a
very fast mile and though many sta lions have been
tipped as able tt lower the world's record Directum's
time still stands and when the fact is taken into consid-
eration that he accomplished it in a third heat of an
actual race, the marvel of his gameness is still more
marvelous.

around about that time should start. Without consult-
ing the books one can recall such trotters as Neeretta

years and the majority of which were out last year and
are again in training. There are others with recordB
from 2:13 to 2:20 that are claimed by their owners to
be good enough to tun the track in 2:12 and they
might come into a 2:12 "ace. One is surprised at the
number of 2:15 perforators in California until one sets
down and starts in to make a list of them The fact
that there is considerable speed left in the State in
spite of the New York and Cleveland sales then pre-
sents itself.

mentioned. The trainer who has a horse that shows
ability to rtot that fast by August will be a sure winner
of more than expenses if he has the horse well entered
and brings him to the post in condition and able to come

While many of the fast classes will furnish good rac-

A 2:12 class trot should be one of the drawing cards
on the California circuit this year. Not that it will be

or green trotting claBses is moBt excellent. The "good
green one" that is expected to trot a mile in 2:12 before
the season is over is very conspicuous just now in Cali-
fornia by his absence. During the past month such
men aa Henry Titer, trainer for the Forbes stable, and
Joseph Thayer, of Lexington, have been "looking
around ' to see if there were not a few'phenoms" worth
purchasing to take across the continent, and although
Mr Titer was charmed with the climate and went home
in love with California he did not take any horses with
him and the few he found that were worth making a
favorable report on to his employer would not be ex-
pected to be raced this year if purchased. The fact is
there are a very large number of green horses in train-
ing in California, but nearly the entire bunch are get-
ing their first fast work and those that reach the 2 :20
mark this year will be very few. There has never been
a time in the history of the trotting industry in this
State whan such opportunity was offered to earn a good
pile of money with a 2 :20 trotter, one that is eligible to
the slow classes and can trot three heats in the time

aid greatly in placing the sport on a popular and paying

footing.

And while we are discussing improve-
ments there is room for a great deal of re-
form in the judges stand at the average
district meeting. The judges should at
least have a bowingacquaintance with the
rules of racing and the person who acts
as clerk of the course should be competent
to keep the record so that it will give some
evidence as to the results and whether the
events were running or harness events. If
the abomination of mixed events are per-
mitted the recoid should state which
horses are trotters and which pacers. The
names of horses should be carefully and
plainly written and the breeding given BO
that it can be deciphered with some de-
gree of accuracy. Times by quarters
where the speed is faster than 2 :30 should
always be given, names of drivers and
everything for which space is provided in
the Judges Book should be fully written
out The directors of fair and race meet-
ings should realize this year that their
future success depends upon t he way they
are conducted. Thev can be made popular
and profitable if properly managed.

Over at Alameda (which is rapidly becoming a horse
centre, and could be made one in reality were a few-
hundred dollars be spent on the track there) everything
begins to take on the appearance of "getting ready for

The Ideal Horse.

I, like many others, have a fondness for the horse. It is
more than fondness; with me it is instinct to admire equine
grandeur. I consider the horse as the creature in animated
nature next in importance and dignity to man, and I know
of no animal more degraded than the man who undervalues
or who overworks the horse. Nor are there many subjects
more worthy of humane and enlightened legislation for im-
provement and protection than is this gallant, generous and
useful animal, admired by all persons of refined taste. The
horEe business, the race track if you will, if established on
principles of honor, fairnesB and humanity, is a benefit to
any community. It is a spirited and effectual means of im-
proving and encouraging the breed of horses. The horse is
identified with every habit and every interest, and almost
every want of man, and that was so before man himself
entered on the race of civilization. All industry, defense
and pleasure would cut but a lame figure if man were de-
prived of this, his noble companion.

The horse at the race track and in the show ring attracted
even u ore attention last season than ever before, where he
was admired by congregations of gentlemen of the firBt
fortune and respectability. Statesmen, exalted by their ser-
vices and tenants, opulent merchants and professional men
of the highest grade, you were apt to find there in as large
numbers and in less disguise than anywheie else.

The bicycle is doomed to the actual necessities of its use-
fulness. The mannish girl with the bloomer outfit has
grown into longer dresses and has again taken her place with
the more modest of her sex, probably profiting by the pro-
verbial remarks of the Scottish bard: "0 wad some power
the gifte gie us, to see oursels as others see us." Or in the
woids of Mrs. Hamlet: "To bloom or not to bloom, that is
the question. To race, perchance to fall — aye, there's the
rub, for in that blooming fall what rents may come; make
ns rather wear the clothes we have than fly to others we
know not of"

The trotter furnishes entertainment sod excitement for its
votaries for which there is no substitute. So great interest
is being displayed in tl 't *> w» mechanical means

can displace the trn"in uy is build-

ing a speedway. I s proved so

extremely interests ijtfp*^ J mJ^1 a°d so en-

tertaining to horsemen and lueir he B^Om other cities
that all over the land there isia desire JFr speedways where
they are not. Boston is considering the enlirgement of the
one Bhe has. Five thousand PhiladelpbUns fcpve petitioned
I he park commissioners to make a spee(Vyav - '- -e. Detroit

agitating and so is Das Moines. Ptofcburg h* I '^Chicago

has one, San Francisco has one, St. Louis oogri'1 tQ Dave one
and Cleveland will soon have one. ft'JUa u will be that no
town without a speedway will be Btyled great. Here let me
add that the American trotter is not alone admired at home
but is also revered abroad. While he is not an imperialist
he is an expanbionist. His circle of friends will soon en-
compass the civilized world.

The ideal horse of lo-day will be the horse of the future
He is pure and simple, a high grade American trotting horse.
While he has been produced in various formB the ideal form
in my opinion is a horse of 15.2 to 16 hands high, round
made, denBe bone, firm muscle, great power and much quality
combined with style, form and trotting action. Not knee
action of the hackney kind alone will suffice, we must have
8peed to go with it. In short, we must have knee and
shoulder action combined with size, quality, soundness and
finish to bring big money. Those essentials the American
bred trotter has in a greater degree than the imported
article.

Now to produce the ideal horse that I am talking about
you must Belect the best types from the best families of
American trotters and cross them judiciously. The mistake
moBt breeders make ib when a covetous rich man comes along
thty sell him their best mares and keep their poorest to
breed from. The result iB that short-sighted breeders have
a lot of culls on hand that they persist in breeding from
thereby accumulating more of the same kind that there is nc
market for. Then they damn the horse busine3s instead of
blaming themselves for being such short-sighted fools as to
for.et that time tried maxim, breed to the best and from the
best.

A new era has dawned on the horse industry. The lime
has passed for a hit or miss method of breeding any old mare
to any and every old Blud without anything to recommend
them except that they will produce their kind, with which
kind the market is overstocked. Breed for size with style,
action and speed. A good big horse is worth more than a
good little horse, al! ihingB being equal, and if you do not
draw a prize you have still a horse large enough for general
purposes. The stylish American trotter will fit in more
places than any other breed in the world and the fact is
being reC3gniz;d everywhere. There are a number of large
trotting stallions that weigh from 1150 to 1500 pounds that
will produce just the kind of borsea the market demands
providing good judgment is used in the selection of the dams.
They muH he bred right to insure perfect conformation and
tbeir trotting action mu-t be natural. One can't take a
straight legged, long backed, slab sided, short necked, mixed
gaited specimen of the equine race, push him together and
teach him to make a respectable appearance. We hear

about scientific breeding, which is an obscure term for com-
mon sense breeding; is nothing more or less than the blend-
ing together of the better elements of what we want to pro-
duce. I have read where Borne animals kill off their off-
spring that difier from the others and have heard that a
tribe of Indians in Mexico kill off weakly children as well as
the old and feeble. Consequently the tribe is a fine type of
the survival of the fittest. This is an effectual meanB of cor-
recting unsatisfactory heredity. In our horse breeding in-
dnstry if we pursued the same course we would eventually
breed a generation of horses of an approved type that would
be true to a hair as fancy poultry is to a feather. Be wise.
fellow horse breeders, keep the best and Bell or kill imperfect
ones and pin your f^ith to the American trotter of an ap.
proved type; the horse of to-day, the horse of all time that
will live in profitable memory.

It is plain to me that as horses are scarce they are the
most profitable crop for farmers to raise, as they are the only
farm commodity that has advanced in price. — [Extracts from

Prayers "Won a Horse Race.

Lucille a Fast Trotter.

A prom neut New York breedar, Bpaakiog about the bay
mftie, Lucille 2:09$ by Brammel, dam Fannie K. 2-21J by
Major BentoQ, driven to her record last season by AmoB
Rathbun, the Northern New York trainer, said that Rath-
bun would probably get laughed at for predicting that this
Bmooth daughter of Brummel will step faster than The
Abbot. He not only predicts tbat, bat says she has a chance
to get the world's record.

"There are a few horsemen who know Rathbun and
Lucille that will not laugh at the Glena Falls trainer's
predictions. Lucille probably came to extreme speed form
with less training than has characterized the career of any
other 2:10 trotter. Last fall at Lexington, on the morning
of the day oa which Lucille took her record, several horse-
men were gronpsd near the first turn of the track talking of
the merits of the different 2:10 trotters of the season. One
of them put up the assertion that in his opinion the best
prospect was the little mare Lucille, in Anna Rathbun's
stable.

"' How fast can she go ?" asked a well known Western
trainer.

" ' I don't know, but she can trot three heats in 2:10, and
do it easy.'

"The answer caused the other horsemen to laugh long and
loud, but later in the day Lucille won her race, trotting the
three heats in 2:10£, 2:0f£ and 2:10£. In no heat did the
mare trot to her limit, and in the last heat Rathbun was so
fearful that she would trot out of the 2:10 class that he fairly
pulled her off her feet into a break as she passed under the
wire. More than one good jadge predicted then and there
that Lucille could have trotted any one of the three miles in
2:08 or better. In view of theee facts, and in view of Rath-
bun's knowledge of the mare, it is just possible that his
assertion regarding her ability to trot as fast as The Abbot
may not be so wild as those who don't know all about her
are likely to regard it."

A Reply from Captain Harris.

San Francisoo, Cal., March 15, 1900.

Editob. Breeder and Sportsman — Dear Sir: The
statement of facts referring to the paternity of Lena A ,
which I gave in your issue of the 3d inst., seems to have run
counter to the position taken by Mr. Hogoboom, the owner
of Lynmont. I am much obliged to him for the publication
of my letter of that date as it is the best argument and evi-
dence of her true paternity. I must again say that, so far a8
I know, Elmorene, Lena's mother, had no other service in
1895, but the double service of Melvar. The dates of the
last line of that data, naming the service of Lynmont, as
taken from my stock register, was furnished by Mi. Hogo-
boom, and they were bo recorded; hence the copy as given
from my stock book.

The booming of Lynmont as the sire of Lena A , to which
my letter referred, as may be seen, was merely to let Mr_
Hogoboom have his own way, and to let him do his own
boomiog, of which the tenor of that letter bears unmistak-
able evidence. Of the service of Lynmont I have no per-
sonal knowledge, but of Melvar I have.

As to Mr. Hogoboom's announcement that Lena A. and
others would be sold as the prcperty of the estate of D. E.
Knight, I take this occasion to essert that the mare Elmorene
and her colt Don Minntos, were placed in Mr Knight's pos-
session in Marysville in 1895, without pay, on a breeding
venture, and that no settlement has ever been made. Yours

truly, Ben E Harris.

Since equestrianism has come into such favor in New
York the demand for good mounts has grown proportion-
ately until now saddle horses of the proper Bort command big
prices. 'I here are a few experts who supply the mejor por-
tion of the best mounts to the New York market, and who
make a lot of money out of it, without having to Bpend much
time or risk much money to accomplish their purpose.

It coBts about $22 per bead to land mules at the salesyard
in Havana from New Orleans. Good American mules Bell
in Cuba at from $60 to $150 per head, so that the prices are
about the same as in this country. It is said the mule mar-
ket in Cuba is at present overstocked.

Uacle Isom has baen jibbing — to use his own phrase —
this winter for a gentleman of sporting proclivities, who was
rallying him the other day about not going to the races.

"Naw, suh," returned the old man, his shrewd, whimsical
old black face wrinkling up into a pleased grin, "Naw, Buh,
I ain't taking much stalk in de races dese days, 'cause I'se a
perfessin' member of Little Hope Chu'ch, an' I done stepped
out of de bonds of iniquity, an' the gall of bitterness, as de
good book says.

"Cose, I knowB hits all right for white folks to go to de

"Is I ever told you about how I rid a race an' won my

"Well, long towards de las', jes' befo' de beginnin' of de

She would bolt, an1 rear, an' plunge, when dey warn't a

"Joyce, she didn't belong to ole marster. She belong to

" 'Isom,' she Baid, 'dis is good news, fer Bhore, but is you

" 'Hit depends on Sylvia's temper,' I says. 'Ef she makes

an' ef she makes up her mind not to run,' I says, dey ain't

"Joyce, she mighty woman, an' de nex' day she puts on

Nutwood, who now leadB all sires of standard performers ,
has thirty-one 2:15 performers to the credit of his own
daughters. Nutwood was foaled two years after George
Wilkes made his record of 2:22, and nude his own record at
nine years of age, sayB L E. Clement. The first trotter by
Nutwood to take a public record was Manon, sired when he
was six years old, three years before he took his record, while
her brother was Woodnot, Bire of six trotters and four pacerB.
Their dam was sired by a son of Hambletonian, who neyer
became standard. It was Rich Wilson who handled Blue
Boll all his life who stood up ind paid over $4000 for a
weanling son of Nutwood, the largest price ever paid for a
weanling. This colt Arrowood is now credited with eight
trotters and six pacers, more than any other son of Nutwood
of his age. Lockheart, foaled the same year, has 13 to his
15. Oolv two others have as many. The sons and daughters
are growing in popularity, and the family, though young,
will compare favorably with the original founders of families.
Nutwood staods next to Hambletonian, with 123 to Hamble-

Stout Horaee; the Stayers of the Century.

There have been great chaoges in ihe estimate of stout
horses, says G. 8. Lowe in the London Live Stock Journal
Almanac. In the early part of the century a race horse was
scarcely a turf performer at all unless he could stay, but in
modern times nineteen out of twenty would be acknowledged
non-stayers, and it might be very difficult to make up a list
that in any way accorded with opinions held by past genera-
tions of sportsmen. Some forty years ago the late Admiral
Rous considered that the systems of racing alone accounted
for the changes seen in his time, and that staying was only to
be measured by degrees of competition; that the greatest j ide
could slay ten miles at bis own p*»ce, or at a pace below its
natural capacity, but that the improvement in the modern
racer made pace the greatest attribute. This theory of the
Admiral's, great and experienced authority as he was, met
with some opposition when even the century had been got
through a little more than half way, and in the years that
have since gone by it has become more than ever apparent
that the falling away of the stayer has shown a marked de-
crease in stout horses of all kinds — the racer, tbe hunter, the
hack and the harness horse.

I should be inclioed to divide the century into three equal
part3 — the first to represent stoutness as the greatest quality
that could belong to a horse; the second, to show a leaning
toward speed with a certain amount of stoutnesf; and the
third, making speed paramount over all There waB a great
St. L?ger wioner in 1802, namely, Orville, and that he could
stay any distance was proved in the next three years, as, if
a little unlacky in getting seconds in acme of his four-mile
contests, he was seen beaticg one of his conquerors in a
match for £200 a side over four miles (Orville v. Stockton),
and on the same afternoon he won a free har.dic.ap over two
miles, giving the horse that was second to him 12 pounds.
He was spoken of by a writer in the Sporting Magazine as
standing over 16 hands high, and that his lurgg and courage
were inexhaustible. He give Haphazard such a tying up in
tbe four-mile trial at LewcB, at four o'clock in the morning,
that the latter nev*r ran again; but in the afternoon of the
same day Orville beat Walton over the same distance, after
a puoiBhing race. At the stud Orville got Emiliu?, a more
beautiful horse than bis sire, a winner of the Deroy, and sire
in due time of Priam, thought by many to have been the
best horse ever seen up to the date of his career. There
were, however, minor lights by Orville that kept winning
four mile races and races in heits, such as Ebor, tbe Sy-
Leger winner, Master Henry, Fairville, Bosville, B'zarre,
Bulgarian, Fitz Orville, Sober Robin, Mathematician and
many others that in all probability became hunting sires
throughout the country. Few horses got more winners than
Orville, and he was a prolific getter, and lived to a great age,
27 years. It may, therefore, be well assumed that this horse,
with inexhaustible lungs and courage, furnished the early
decades of the century with the best of blood for stoutness.

Another of the early heroes was Whalebone. He was bred
in 1807, and of quite a different stamp to Orville; but he could
stay right well, and he won the Derby after making the
whole of the running, and, amongst other races, he won the
King's Cup at Guilford over four miles, and the King's Cup
at Lewes, fame distance. Whalebone may well be regarded
as the fountain-stone of the best racing families, the best
steeplechasers and hunters, ar>d I should say also the best
general utility horses. He is the head of tvo bracchee that
are all and everything at the present time, through his song
Sir Hercules and Camel, and from these came the Irish
Birdcatchers and the Touchstones. Mr. Thornton in his in-
teresting work on famous horses, quotes from The Druid in
saying that Whalebone was the smallest of the Waxy stock,
oot being more than 15 hands Olio, high, and his old g oom

chasing and of riding to bounds in the style of Asshoton
Smith, Oibaldeston, and Dick Christian.

There are two other horses that, according to my view,
would rank with Orville aod Whalebone as the stoutest of
all horses, and more remarkable than others for the stout"
ness of their after generators I allude to Tramp and
Blacklock. The first of these was bred in the year that
Whalebone won the Derby, so }ust three years his junior.
He was an extraordinary horse over four miles, and was
regarded as the best of his day. He soon made a name at
tbe stud as the sire of Lottery, quite a chip of tbe old block
in regard to stoutness, and in his turn said to be the sire of
Lottery, the famous steeplechaser. Tramp was also the sire
of Liverpool, an extraordinarily game horse, and sire sub-
sequently of Lanercost, the great Cap horse of his time, but
lost to Eaglaad as a sire, as the French got hold of him;
and he was the sire of Cosmopolite, possibly as good a
steeplechaser as Lottery, and of Magenta, another steeple-
chaser of French renown. Blacklock was bred in 1S14, and
was a great four-mile runner, winning the Doncaster stakes
over that distance and the Cup at York. His sons from
the first were of the same useful order, as Velocipede, Vol-
taire and Brutandorf gave earlv evidence, and down to the
present time the line is possibly stronger than any other
through Voltigeur, Vedette, Gilopin, 8t. Simon and Per-
simmon, to say nothing of a variety of branches.

The value to be attached to both Tramp and Blacklock
was, however, of the highest, apart from the turf, for in that
now rare little volume, the "Steeplechase Calendar," from
1825 to 1844, it can be seen that a large proportion of the
competitors were got by sons of the great horses I have
named — Orville, Whalebone, Tramp and Blacklock. There
was Gay Lad — the finest hun'er ever known, so Lincoln-
shire men still say, and a winner of a Grand National — by
Brutandorf, son of Blacklock, and Lottery by Lottery, son
of Tramp; Gipsy by Belboni, son of Blacklock; Crosby by
Velocipede son of Blackloct:; Oliver Twist by Flexible, son
of Whalebone; and another of the same name by Shortwaist
also a son of Whalebone. I might go on giving the pedigree
of a great many more to show that the early 'chasers and
really high class hunters were all got by proved stayers, and
it was the persistent breeding from such sires that made the
cross-country horse so good from about the years 1825 to
1845. Hounds ran as fast in those days as they do now>
and whether it was that tbe foxes were better, or that a lower
standard of farming was more adapted f^r the purposes of
hunting, the fact remains unanswerable that the runs were
generally longer; and yet the fashion had not come in of
having second horses out. The maj >rity of sportsmen rode
their one horse throughout the day, and, what is more, the
horses stood it well.

The first departure from this satisfactory state of things
took place, I should eay, in 1836, when the sporting world
fell ia raptures about the extraordinary speed of Bay Middle-
ton. He was the fastest horse hitherto koown, and Admiral
Rous once told the writer — after the performances of Glad-
iateur had been witnessed — that the latter was the only horse
that he thought at all approached the mighty son of Sultan.
It waB the outcome of a speedy, non-staying line, too, as Of
the three brothers — Selim, Castrel and Rubens — the last-
named alone got a real stayer in Gainsborough, who was out
of Tiny by Orville, and so he may have got bis extraordinary
stoutness, in being able to run four-mile beats week after
week, from the latter. To return, though, to Bay MiddletoD,
who went to the stud undefeated, and was naturally patron,
ized by the greatest breeders of their time. All the Bpeediest
mares of the day were sent to him, their back breeding prob-
ably being little loosed into, and the general result was fail-
ure. The verdict in six years was that Bay Middleton got a
lot of non stayers with bad Ifgs. The great 6ire was reduced
from 30 guineas (a good fVe in 1838) to 12 guinea0, and when
standing at Dnnghouses, York, a chance mare of a good old

were amongst the best — by The Baron oat of Pocohontat —
though we let tbe Frenchmen have half of it by their pur"
chase of The Baroo. That Ratsplan's brother Stockwel
was the greatest cf all sires no one can deny, but whether he
or any of his sens can ke placed smorgst the out and out
Btayers of the country is a queblion of doubt. His supposed
best eon, Lord Lyon, is spefeen of by CuBtance in his Riding
Reminiscences as not the greatest glutton when it came to
finishing, and has not Bend Or and all bis great family
savored more of speed than stoutopss? The Whalebone line
through Camel and Touchstone has been, to my mind, more
akin to staying, and there was Touchstone himself quite a
four-miler, and a continuation of the family tree through
Newminster and Lord Clifden brought Hampton to the sur-
face, and he was certainly one of the stayers of the century,
and bis stock still slay and produce sUyers both on the male
and female side.

The Blacklcck would seem to have been the least impaired
through the ravages of time, as from Voltaire there has de-
cidedly been direct stoutness in the esses of Voltigeur,
Vedette, Galopin. St. Simon and Persimmon and arguments
might be adduced from this particular family to show that
both speed aod size have been very much increased with the
retention also of 6toutness. St. Simon and Persimmon were
neither given a test over a four mile course, but the style in
which they both wod the Aecot cup strongly indicated that
no distance would have been too far for them. Gladiateur,
besides winning the Ascot Cup, waB eeen by the writer win-
ning a long four-mile race at Paris, and there was a parallel
to The Flying Dutchman in the case of Thormaoby, takiDg
his percentage from the line of one of the aforesaid brothers
being by Windhound, son cf PantalooD, son of Csstre!; but
then he also came from an extraordinary mare, Alice Haw-
thorn, a direct descendant from Orville. There is no end of
the good of Orville in the female line down to the present,
but he died out in direct male line, possioly through the ex.
portation of Priam to America. Tramp has also died out
from boh to son, possibly because we allowed the French to
have Lanercost. But tbe real grit of the breed is still seen
in the composition of pedigrees. To enumerate the twenty
hest stayers, there must, of course, be a certain amount of
ir justice Aoiip to many good hoises by leaving them out and
certain studa^U-cf racing history would hold different opin-
ions My 6c'(~TwQu.id be Orville, Tramp, Blacklock, Whale-
bone, LongwaiBt. Lottery, Gainsborough, Priam, Touchstone,
Venison, The Flying Dutchman, West Australian, Fisher-
mon, Rataplan, Thormanby, Gladiateur, Hampton, — nomy,
St. Simon and Persimmon-

revolutionized tbe style of getting over a country and road
work. The old Calendars show that between 1815-26 quite
a number of Whalebone's sons were the best Btayers in the
country, such as Longwaist, Hindoostan, Peter Fio, Waverly,
Vaurien, Lapdog, Stumps, Tom Thum », Flexible, Tough*
stick, Gamiliu°, Black 8wan, Windemere and Pandanus.
Some of these were very notable turf performers, as Lapdog
won the Derby, and Longwaist was the best Cup horse of his
day, whilst Hindoostan was for years remembered in Devon-
shire as the sire of great hunters. The others, and the list
might be considerably extended, were scattered about the
conntry doing good in sowing the stout qualities of Whale-
bore. But in turf circles this notable son of Waxy was not
estimated a stud success until nearly the end of his life, which
lasted to the ripe old age of twenty-four. In fpet, the year
of his deah was the year of his second Derby winner —
Spaniel — and he was eighteen when he got Sir Hercules,
sixteen when he got Defense, and a year younger was Camel,
another of bis famous sons. Sir Hercules and Cimel head
two lines that are very great to-day, as above mentioned, bat
even before their day the stoutness of the Whalebones was
very well known, and had doubtless much to do with that
history of sport which tells of the establishment of steeple-

failures are lost sight of and forgotten. At the great Bale of
Lord Falmoath's horses in Eogland in 1884, four two year
olds brooeht big prices, theae being Louievourg $20,000,
Armida $1«,000, Cocoanut $12,500. and Esther Fae $11,000,
but each was a miserable failure and nearly all the yearlings
were as bad though bringing high prices. The high-priced
broodmares and foals did little better. These cost an aggre-
gate of $248 700, anl such supposed gems as Wheel of For-
tune $25 000. Spinaway $27,500, Catiniere $21,000 and Dutch
Oven $16,000 were virtually dead failures thereafter. The
foals were unanimously unsuccessful on the race course, and
the only one of the stallions to do at all well was Galliard
$8000. The grand total realized by Lord Falmouth's stable
and stud was $559,400.

Among the best prices at the Duke of Westminster's horse
sale at London last week, in addition to the $200 000 paid for
Flying Fox, were 7900 guineas for Calveley. 5000 for Goblet,
4300 for Manchuria, bought by Wolff Joel, nephew of the
late Barney Barnato, and 2100 guineas for Good Luck. The
Prince of Wales bought Vance for 4300 guineas. Mr.

was Tbe Flying Dutchman, and when he went to the stud he
was as irjudiciously used as his sire had been a dozen years
before. Tbe new style of things was to breed for pace, and
with the French people at the same time cleverly buying up
our best Btayers (is they took Gladiator, Faugh-a-Ballagh,
Lanercost, Slane, Cossack, Weatherg'ge, Buckthorn, Ion and
many more) it was only a wonder that matters did not get
worse before the half century was reached. Tbe general
support of stoutness, though, between tbe years of 1800 and
1835, established an amount of good material that took a deal
of crumbling away, as there were so many hardy-bred mares
to rely upon, and up to tbe present day there have been
fhshes of stoutness from sometimes very unexpected sources
to keep alive the repute of tbe turf, and of England as a
horse-breeding country.

West Australian was, no doubt, an exceptionally good
horse over all distances, and may with every correctness be
described as one of the stoutest horses of the century.

AMERICAN HORSES IN RUSSIA are the subject
of a very interesting statement recently forwarded to
Washington by W. R. Holloway, American Consul-
General at St. Petersburg, which will clear away some
false impressions notv entertained by many owners and
breeders in this country. Mr. Holloway says "the belief
created in the United States by the publication of a
statement that there is discontent and dismay among
Russian owners of trotters who have imported American
horses for the purpose of improving the Russian breed,
is a false one. He says every one interested in the sub-
ject knows that the trotters of Russia cannot compare
with the American trotter. Continuing the subject he
adds : While American horses which outclass Russian
horses as trotters have not been permitted to trot in all
classes for some years, and for that reason are unable to
win much money iu Russia, American horses cross-bred
with Russian were permitted to start in all but three
races that were given in Russia during the past season,
viz;: The ' Orloffi-ky,' 3000 ruble*; the ' Grand Duke's
Prize,' 10,000 rubles, and the ' Emperor's Prize,' 25,000
rubles. At the summer meeting in Moscow, there were
341,500 rubles hung up in prizes, and hall-bred horses
were permitted to start in all but the three races named
above, leaving 303,000 rubles in the purses for which
the half-bred horses competed. There are summer and
winter races in Moscow, and fall and winter races in
St. Petersburg, where 80,000 rubles are offered in prizes
annually, and the ball-bred horses compete for 747,000
rubles, all but 113,000 rubles of the entire sum. A
few years ago, American horses could Btart in all races
in Runsia, but they were so much faster than the RuHsian
horses that they were barred from the big races in order
to protect their own interest; but, as a majority of Rus-
sian horsemen now own American horses, and more are
constantly being bought, there is a growing sentiment
in favor of their being permitted to start in all races ex-
; pt those intended exclusively for Russian horses."

SULPHUR SPRING STOCK FARM, in Conta
Costa County, the place whereon was foaled and reared
the great coL Who Is It 2:10}, is for sale. The owner,
Mr. A. G. Gurnett will go to Europe for a couple of years
and desires to dispose of this beautiful country home
and ideal breeding farm before his departure. By refer-
ence to the half page advertisement in another part of
this paper, a description of the farm will be found, but
anyone who visits it will say, "the half has not been
told me." It is one of those beautiful spots in Califor-
nia with a climate that is absolutely perfection. The
fields and paddocks, barns, stables and a half mile kite
track are as complete as money can make them, and for
the person who desires to engage in the breeding of
horses, whether thoroughbred or harness, no better
equipped place can be found in California. It is in
reality an ideal country home, a good dwelling, fitted
with everything to make it comfortable, being one of the
principal improvements of the farm. The horses on the
farm are not numerous, but most of them are of high
quality. Lassie Jean, the dam of Who Is It 2:10} and
Dolly Marchutz 2:19}, is there and is now heavily in
foal to Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, the sire of Who Is It.
Lassie Jean is by Brigadier 2:21}, and her dam is Lex-
ington Belle, a good race mare by Lexington, her grand
dam famous old Eagless by Gray Eagle. Lassie Jean
was foaled in 1882, but does not look to be hall her
age and should produce a half dozen foals yet. Bred to
^ond stallions and the produce trained she would be one
of America's greatest broodmares. There is a foal from
her by McKinney and another by St. Nicholas, son of
Sidney now on the farm, bith great prospects and sure
of fast records with proper training. The horses will be
sold collectively or singly, and all that are two years old
have been broken and driven, though few have been
trained. A visit to this beautiful farm will repay any-
one and by applying to the owner at his office 308 Pine
street, this city, all information will be given intending
purchasers and arrangements can be made for the trip

A PECULIAR DISEASE among horses is reported
from Texas. The people there call the malady the
" sleepy staggers." The animal attacked becomes sleepy
and refuses feed, then goes blind in one eye, usually the
right one, and when compelled to move goes about in a
circle. Death occurs in thirty-six to forty hours. Ex-
amination shows the brain congested on one side. Sev-
eral methods of treatment have been tried, but none
has succeeded.

Big Improvements Contemplated by the State
Agricultural Society.

THE SALE of the horses belonging to the late D.
E. Knight will take place at Marysville April 11th.
Among others the great filly Eula Mac, that won the
Pacific Breeders Futurity last year as a two year old,
and is eligible to this year's rich Occident Stake, will be
offered for sale. She should be worth considerable
money as she is by McKinney 2:11} and her dam
Balance AH by Brigadier is also the dam of Lynall
2:23. Tbe filly Lena A. 2:21}, winner of last year's
Occident Stake, is also among the horses to be offered at
this sale. There are se Feral other high class young
horses, and a number of broodmares, well bred and pro-
ducers. The sale should draw quite a crowd of horse-
men to Marysville.

WILLIAM H. VIOGET, one of the best known
horse breeders in California, died at San Jose last Thurs-
day after a short illness. For years Mr. Vioget was
connected with Mr. F. H. Burke's La Siesta Stock Farm
as trainer and drove many of the trotters and pacers bred
there to their records. He established the Vioget Stock
Farm at Lawrence Station, Santa Clara county, several
years ago, and since then had devoted his time to the
breeding of harness horses and fine cattle. Mr. Vioget
was a native of San Francisco, aged 52 years, and his
death will be universally regretted by a very large circle
of acquaintances,

GEN. B. F. TRACY, one of the closest students of
the light harness horse living, has issued a catalogue of
the horses which he has been collecting for several years
past in forming his new Marshland Stud at Stony Ford,
N. Y. There are fifty-two animals, thirty-five of them
being descendants of George Wilkes, fourteen of the
blood of Electioneer, while eight trace their inheritance
to both of these trotting sires. The ex-secretary of the
navy is of the opinion that the blood of George Wilkes
and Electioneer combined is better than the blood of
either Electioneer or George Wilkes.

The Board of Directors of the State Agricultural 8ociety
held an important meeting in Sacramento on Wednesday
last and one uf the probable results will be tbe widening of
the inside or training track at Agricultural Park and putting
it in such shape that all the running races can be held over
it, and the outside track left for the exclusive me of the
light harness brigade.

At the meeting bidB for reclaying the tracks were opened
and that of James Tonhey for $2460 was found to be the
lowest.

Several members if the Board believed that ihie would be
a very heavy expense to incur at this time, and it was fin-
ally concluded not to accept the bid, but to submit the
matter to the Committee of Five with full power to act.

The Bre ■ dkk and Sportsman learns that the Committee
will in all probability decide to widen the inner course now
used for the training of runners, and make it of sufficient
widlh for racing. A neat railing can be built between that
and the outside track for a comparatively small cost and then
both tracks turned up wiih a subsoil plow, thus making the
soil relatively new and fresh. It is said that the track has
not been plowed up for years and that this is all that is
needed to make it one of the fastest in the State, and if the
runners are provided for on the inner course, both tracks
can be made fast and safe. We understand that President
Spreckels favors this plan of improving tbe track and it will
certainly meet with the approval of all clasBes of horsemen.

For years it has bBan c intended by practical men thit the
Sacramento Park off, red all the facilities for a double track,
and this improvement effected the racing would be vastly
improved at Sacramento.

President Spreckels appointed as the Committee to take
charge of the matter Directors Terry, Cox, Wilson, Cobb and
Matthews, and as they are all practical men we may expect
to Bee the Sacramento track in shape for training purposes
just as soon as the work can be pushed to completion. It is
rumored that Superintendent Wm. Fieldwick of Oakland
track, the most expert track worker in the State, will be
placed in charge of the work at Sacramento and if so it will
be attended to in a proper and expeditions manner.

The program for the races for this year will soon be com-
pleted and will be ahead of anything yet offered by the State
Agricultural Society.

To a man on the outside it would seem that any expert
buyer ought to pick out a high class coacher in the rough at
first eight, but Buch is not the cise One in a while a cheap
horse, costing less than a hundred dollars, and actually not
worth any more than that at the time of purch'Be, develops
in the training school until he is worth several thousand
dollars. Such horses even fail to show coach horse confor-
mation until they have been fed and blanketed and tangbt to
arch their necks and step high. A c-ise in point is the horse
Red Bud, who was recently sold with his mate. Red Ink
2:22i, to Mr. C. H Halcorab of Syracuse, N. I ., for $5000.
This horae was purchased for $75, out of a livery stable in
Minnesota, by a New York buyer, and one of the best judges
of a coach horse in America, who saw him in a bunch of
others Boon afterwards, laughed at the buyer and said: "I
would not pay freight on him to New York for him." In
ninety days from that lime this same dealer pronounced the
horse cheap at $2500. Every coach trainer in the country,
however, gets fifty that fail to develop where he gets one of
the Red Bud sort, and the business, after all, has about the
same element of chance in it that the trotting game has. —
Yarrum in Horse Review.

R S. Brown of Petaluma is in the city this week and
reports that everything looks prosperous for the horsemen.
Mr. Brown was looking for a pair of horses suitable to pull
a spring wagon to and from town. No better evidence of
the scarcity of horses could be furnished than the sight of a
Petalnma farmer looking for them in 8an Francisco. Mr.
Brown states that twenty mares have already been booked to
his stallion Meridian 2:12}.

THE $3000 GUARANTEED STAKE offered by the
Pacific Coast Trotting Ho.se Breeders Association for

entering them in this stake. The terms are liberal aud
the payments easy Keep the date in mind. Full par-
ticulirs as to payments and conditions -will be found in

VETERINARY DEPATRMENT.

CONDUCTED BY

WM. F. EGiN, M. R. C.V.C.. F. E. V. M. S.

Subscribers to tbis paper can bave advlCA through these columns In
all cases of sick or iujured horses, cattle or dogs by seadiDg a plain
description of the case. Applicants will Band their name and adoress
that they may be Identified.

J. W. M.— Will vou please let me know whether "Bone
Spavin" can be taken cfl of a horse or killed, and how to
treat them. Let me know through the Breeder akd
Sportsman if you have the space.

Answer — The bony enlargement, as a rule, cannot be
removed by any application, but the lameness caused by the
spavin can generally be reduced by treatment.

Sometimes the cartilage between the bones of the joint be-
comes diseased, in which case treatment is not usually suc-
tessful.

Firing and blistering the skin over the seat of the disease,
and giving the horae a rest of about two months, is one of
the most successful methods of treating it. The firing should
be done by a veterinary Burgeon, or some one who under*
stands the anatomy of the joint and its surrounding?, other-
wise it may result in permanent lameness, or stiffness of the
joint.

Blistering the parts with the following blister, and resting
the animal, may remove the lameness. If it fails, after four
weeks, apply the same blister a second lime:
Beniodide of mercury 1 oz.
Fulv. cantharides 1 cz.
Lard 8 cz

Clip the hair off parts and rub the blister well in.

On Saturday next, if the weather is propitious, the Bpeed.
way at Golden Gate Park will be the scene of two lively con-
tests between horses owned and driven by members of the
popular Golden Gate Driving Association, the races to be
half-mile heats, best two in three for trophies offered by the
association.

The first heat will be called promptly at 2 P. M., and the
races will be over the Bide of the speedway used by driver9
coming in from the beach.

The entries in the first race are E. Stewart's Localeer, Mr,
Curley'a Prince C. and N. Hotta's Correct.

Second race — R. E. Miller's Lee Rose, L. Richardson's
Queenie and Dr. I. B. Dalziel'e 8teve.

The cfBcials will be: Judges, Fred Thompson and W. C.
HammertOD; starter, George Berry; marshal, Dr. I. B.
Dalziel.

The Driving Association's room at the Palace Hotel has
lately been handsomely fitted up and the new officers are
energetic in doing everythiog to make the association popu-
lar. All over the United States driving clubs are forming
and road horses are in greater demand than ever. T e
American trotter now occupies a higher place in the etieem
of the public than at any time in his existence, and road
driving is considered the sport par excellence of all others.

Don Derby, the three year old full brother to Diablo 2:09J-,
stepped a quarter in 34 seconds Monday with Wm. Murray
up behind him.

H. H. Dunlap, of San Francisco, worked King Cadenza
two easy heats in 2:28 and 2:23.

T. E. Keating &ave the horse Eureka 2:15} a mile in 2:18
Monday and he finished full of vim and looking 8B though
he enjoyed it.

The three year old colt by Chas. Derby 2:20, out of a mare
by Gen. Benton which Keating secured from Oakwood Park
Farm, showed a mile in 2:24 Monday. This colt will cer-
tainly make a name for himself this year. Mr. K drove
Corinne Neilsen a mile in 2:22.

"Sharkey," the flyer of Chas. Griffith's, stable was given
three beats Saturday last in 2:221, 2:21 and 2:20. Burt
Webster has all his horses in good shape.

Millard Sanders has in his string now two colts belonging
to Judge Green, of Oakland, one a promising filly by Diablo
and the other a good looking colt by Directum. He also has
a five year old gelding the property of Arthur Brown of
Napa. He is a trotter and is being trained for the California
circuit. The eight young horses purchased by Mr. Sanders
from Oakwood Park Stock Farm are all doing well. Rubalo,
the three year old sister to Agitato, stepped the last quarter
of a workout in 34 seconds the other day, while Petronilla
did the trick in 34'. seconds. She is by El Benton out of
Bay Rum, by Steinway. PrioceBS Derby did her quarter in
33 j seconds.

J. Sutherland has already began the improvements upon
the old Rose Hotel. The house has been taken in charge by
D. F. Tillman and is already doing a rushing business. A
fine new brick foundation is being put beneath while the en-
tire building is to be renovated throughout. Besides this
Mi, Sutherland is to have a large number of fine stalls bull,
in the rear for his Btring of horses. Until these are com-
pleted be is still at the old place recently sold to the Spring
Valley Company, but intends training over the track here
within a few weeks.

Chas. Durfee has sent his mare Jennie Mc. 2:09, by Mc-
Kinney, over to Oakwood Park to be bred to Steinway.

Anaconda was bitched to a Bulky tbis morniog for the
first time this season, and given a little jogging. The horee
never looked belter than now.

The impression prevails with some track managers that
they can collect entrance fee on a conditional entry without
allowing the person making it the privilege of competition.
In other words, they may regard a conditional entry as an
entry made and involving the payment of the entrance fee,
with all privileges denied. This is a mistake. The rule
does not provide for any suih action. Section 3, of rule 3,
provides that " all entries shall be governed by the published
conditions, and when so governed shall be bound for the
entrance fee; any proposed deviation from such published
conditionsshall make the entry void." That provision settle^
the question of conditional entries. A nominator can onlv
be held for the entrance fee when his entry is in accord-
ance with the published conditions. A conditional entry
must be considered as never having been received; as the
rule expressly states it is "void."

The r^le gcea further, however, and provides that "any
nominator who is allowed privileges not in accordance with
the published conditions of the race, or which ire in con-
flict with the rules, shall be debarred from winring any
portion of tbe purse; and upon sufficient proof of the fact
he shall refund the amount, if any, awarded him and U shall
be awarded to the remaining horses entitled thereto. And
the said nominator and ihe secretary or other persons who
allowed sucl privileges shall be deemed to have been parties
to a fraud, and be punished by fine, suspension, or expulsion,
according to the judgment of the Board of Review." The
conditions of very many tracks contain the declaration — "no
condilioual entries received." That declaration precludes
the possibility of entrance fee being collected on a condi-
tional entry. If it is not received it is "void."

Probably no part of the trotting code ib more frequently
and persistently violated than that just quoted. It is not
saying loo much to allege that four-fifths of the inferior
tracks will receive and record entries in any way they can
get them, and allow nominators to start under them. The
time limit counts for very little. Now and then, if an eDtry
list is very full, a speed superintendent may have a spaem of
virtue and decline to record an entry received after the hour
of clcsing. Such instances, however, we think are rare. It
is a matter which concerns the superintendent and nomin-
ator alone, acd one will not inform upon ihe other when like
penalty is visited upon each.

Conditional entries can be stopped by holding horsemen
liable for the full amount of entrance money in every case,
and then fine the association accepting such entries an
amount equal to the purse. — Newark Sunday Call.

State I Veterinary Association.

Pan Jose, March 15. — The California State Veterinary
Medical Association met here in quarterly session this week.
AmoDg those present were: Dr. D. F. Fox, President, of
Sacramento; C. L. Megowan, 8ecre arv, of Sacramentr; Dr.
F. E. Twining, of Fresno; Dr. C. H. Blemer, State Veter.
inary Inspector, of Sacramento; Dr. Pierce of Oakland, Dr.
W. E. Wadams of Santa Clara, Dra. H. A. and H. F.
Speocer of San Jose, Dr. J. Graham of Fresno, Dr. A. 8.
Williams of Marysville and Dr. Ira B. Dalziel of San
Francisco.

Last evening Dr. H . A. Ppencer read a paper on lubercu-
Ijsis in cattle, which was followed by a talk by Dr. F. E
Twining, tbe bacteriological exper'; Dr. C. H. Blemer, Dr.
C. L Megowan, Dr Pierce and Dr Fox.

A paper on " Acute lodigeation" was read by Dr. Pierce
and one on " Bacteriological Research " by Dr. Twining.

This morning tbe visitors attended an autopsy on six
tuberculous cows from Agnews Asylum that were killed in
Santa Clara, and in the afternoon a surgical clinic was held
in Dr. Spencer's Hospital.

Blistering.

This is the season of the year when blistering is being
resorted to in nearly every training stable in the land to cure
ills of one nature or another. The following remarks on
blisteiing are from a lecture by Dr. G. A. Waterman, of the
Michigan Agricultural College, to a class in veterinary
science:

It not infrequently occurs than an animal, and especially
the horse, has become 60 severely strained that ordinary
treatment does Dot give aoy apparent aid. In such cases it
is sometimes necessary to resort to the blister as a means of
remedy. Blistering is something that should be considered
as a matter of last resort, and to be us d when other means
fail. As a rule it Bhould not be done immediately, but after
three or four weeks of other treatment.

There are two preparations quite commonly used which
are generally successful. These are Caustic Balsam and
Spanish Fly. The former is more mc derate in its action
while the latter is quite severe. Of the two the latter is
probably the most commonly used.

Before applying anything to make a blister remove all
hair as much as possible and vigorously rub t e part to re-
move any dirt and get the blood to circulating well. If
Spanish Fly is to be used, put about two drams into an
ounce of lard and apply. Leave until next day; it may be
best to leave longer, in that judgment must be used. As soon
as sufficient blistering has been done remove the grease and
wash thoroughly. Be sure that the place is thoroughly
cleaned, removing eff jets of blister and all matter as much
as possible. It is not best to wash more than once, and this
Bhould be as thorough as circumstances permit. If the spot
is washed repeatedly tbe chances are that a scar will be left.
If only one washing is done, and the spot not bruised in any
way, there will be uo danger of a scar or even gray hair-*

While tbe blistering matter is on do not all jw any other
part of the b ily to come in contact with it. Also be careful
that the horse does not bruise io aov way, or scratch it. It
is cot best to allow the animal to lie down until after tbe
washing. Do not bandage Mich a place as it causes greater
irritation and increases chance for blemishing

If one blistering is not sufficient another should not be
applied under three or four wnk- This is p«rlicnlarly true
with strong blistering material; circumstances will vary
according to the strength

In the meantime keep the horse as quiet as p-)ssib!e. It
will not be best to try to exercise the animal at nil, as a rule,
until well over the effect". One thing Bhould b* borne care-
fully in mind: do not blister until the Lcule irBtmmation ia
well out. or trouble may follow.

Do not bandage the wound after blistering mixture i« re-
moved, as it will only tend to retain tbe matterated flow i
where it isn't wanted.

Ester your foals of 1899 in the Pacific Breeders Falurity.

A competent starling judge is one of the absolute necessi-
ties of this year's circuit.

The horses belonging to the estate of the late D. E. Knight
will be sold at Marysville, April 11th.

George Walker of Denver, now owns the pacer Jakey
Einstein that Andy McDowell once bad in his string.

Jos Rtan, of Sonoma, has- a very promising four year old
filly by Centention, son of Director, oat of Lady Lucille.

As offer of $10 000 was recently made for FereDo 2:17, by
Herbert Gray, who buys for Thos. W. Lawson of Boston.

Inquiry haB been received at this office as to whether
there is a black French Coach stallion standing for public
service in California. Do any of our readers know of one.
He must be black and a good individual. Parties desire
breeding several mares to a borse of this description.

We expect to see large entry lists at all i he district fair
meetiogs in the slow classes but do not look for records to be
broken this year in California unless it is in the fast pacing
claEBes. The trainer with a fair horee who fails to enter this
year will regret it when be sees the time hung out.

At HaywardB on March 13th, Mr. M. Henry's mare
Jacobina by Decorator.be by Director 2:17. second dam Do'ly,
by Vermont Messenger, foaled a jat black colt by Searchlieht
2:03}. The colt is a handsome youngster and his speed in-
heritance should make him go some when he "grows up."

When a pacing gelding can be sold at auction for $4000,
as was Prince Alert 2:05§ at the Fasig-Tipton sale in New
York last week, breeders need not complain of the state of the
market. Prince Alert is an exceptionally fast pacer, and
will donbtlesB be a factor in the contests of the coming sea-
son, but beirg a gelding he is useful only for track and road
purposes

Mr J. R. Hull of Kamloops, British Columbia, pur-
chased last week from Mr. Gardner of Jsleton, this State, a
magnificent Percberon Norman Btallion. The horse weighs
2100 pounds and is very active and stylish looking. Mr.
Hull says he looked at a good many stallions before he found
one large enough to suit him, but Damala Jr , as this one is
called, fills the bill completely.

Flora H., dam of Thompson 2:14A, owned by J. B.
Bonetti. of Santa Maria, has been booked again to Boodle
2:12*

Peter Dtjryfa, of Patchen Wilkes' Farm, Lexington,
has offered $2500 for >he use of Sunol 2:08}, in case she has
a foal.

Baron Oaks, brother to Oakland Baron 2:09}, trotted a
mile in 2:20f last fill and he is expected to beat 2:15 this
year.

Docglas Thomas, the Kentucky trainer, thinks the
pacing mare Hetty G. 2:09£ will pace in 2:05 before the close
of the year.

Mr. Cyrille Laubin has been appointed Expon Certifi-
cate Agent for the National Trotting Association at the Port
of Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

Dixie, by Chas. Derby 2:20, dam Ramona (dam of W.
Wood 2:07), by Ante?o 2:16, is in foal to Boodle 2:12A, and
will be bred back to him this spring.

Robert I. Orr, of San Benito county, has been on a trip
through San Loaie ObiBpo purchasing draft horses and road-
Bters for the San Francisco market. High class horses of
both breeds were scarce.

A son of Zimbro 2:11, is standing for service in Oregon
this year and it is said to be one of the handsomest horseB in
the northwest. His dam is by Boxwood, Bon of Nutwood.
Sam Casto has him in charge.

B. O. Van Bokkslen, who gave Boodle 2:12£ his record,
is evidently "partial to his old love" as he has in his stable
five Boodle3, among them Thompson 2:14£ and Boodler a
green one that has done his mile in 2:21.

The handiest of all the good treatments for worms in

the dose.

The Riverside Driving Club will have some good matinee
racing on the track there during Carnival week which is to
be held from April 7th to 14:h inclusive. Eieht blocks are
to be set aside on the Main street of Riverside for booths, etc.
duriog this fair.

The tracks were all too wet for speeding last Sunday
after the heavy rains of last week but the roads in this and
Alameda countieB were lined with rigs of all descriptions
and the day was perfect. Koad driving is being indulged in
to a greater extent than ever in California.

Wm. Rcss, of PetalumB, has repurchased from G. J.
Armstrong the sorrel mare Vaseline, by Vasto 2:16}, dam
Princess 2:19 J. Sbe is one of the handsomest animals ever
seen in Sonoma county and has shown speed that would war-
rant her being trained and raced with good prospects of get-
ting a low record.

Among the California horses oow in Kansas City are Oar
Jack 2:13$ by Steinway, Anita 2:17 by Junio, Lady Thorn-
hill 2:17 by Billy Thornbill. Tip Tinoo* 2:29$ by AntinouP,
Granville 2:31 by Silas Skinner and Nick Russell by Silas
Skinner. All these horses were purchased by Dick Benson
while in California last month.

Mr. F. E. Lane of Stockton, owner of Primrose 2:13 by
Fairose, has sold that fast little mare to Mr. M. Potter of Lob
Angeles. Mr. Potter has placed Primrose in T. E. KeatiDg'a
hands at PleaBanton. Primrose will be missed from the
speedway in Golden Gate Park where she has been seen so
often during the past few months.

The graodly bred stallion Dictates 2:19}, will get quite a
large patronage at Salinas this year. Tbe colts by him are
such good lookers and so many of them show speed that
those who owo them desire to breed their mares to him
again. Hie blood lines are such that be cannot help being a
producer of both speed and good looks.

Gen. B. F. Tracy has joined E H. Harriman, ex-Senator
John McCarthy and W. A. Lawrence in giving encourage-
ment to the breeding of fioe horses in Orange Co , N Y., and
has offered a purse of $1000 to be trotted for at the Goshen
meeting in the Orange county circuit next August. The
purse is for trotters eligible to the 2:30 class and is to be
known as the Marshland Farm Parse.

Trainer Henry Titer reached home on tbe 2d inst.
from a six weeks visit to the Pacific Coast and oLher trottiog
horse breeding localities. He haB improved greatly in con-
dition since his absence. He looks fit to race in the free for
all at a minute's notice, and is delighted with tbe California
climate. He saw some good horses while away, but says
that right good ones are by no means plenty. — American
Horse Breeder.

The green horse that trots three beats in 2:20 or better
will be a good money winner in California this year. Good
trotters are a scarce article here as buvers are finding out.
High class prospects Bre being enapoed up at good prices
whenever their qualities are known. Trainers should not
miss making entries in the Blow classes at all tbe meetings as
a fair horse will be able to win a good pile of money during
the season.

Mb. R. P. M. Greeley, of Oakland, has the fast pacer
Resort 2:15}, bv Hawihorne, in his stable and will place him
in the hands of J. S. Shuner, who will train and race him
this year throughout the California circuit Resort has as
much spsed as any pacer ever seen on the California tracks,
Bnd has paced a half mile on more than one occasion in less
than a minute Before being gelded he was registered as
8tormo 13,856. He was bred by the late L. U. Shippee of
Stockton.

Admiral Dewey is a guest at Lakewood Hotel, Lake-
wood. N. J., and wa« welcomed on behalf of tbe guests by
Mr. Nathan Straus, the widely known New York merchant
and roadite. As tbe Admiral is an admirer of good horses he
will likely enjoy a few spins behind Alves 2:09i, Cobwebs
2:12, and others, while at the famous health resort of New
Jersey. Nearly all VermonterB like the trotters and Ad-
miral Dewey is said to be a very fair judge of good horses. —

W. J. Abernathy, the popular news agent at the ferry
Blip, concluded the other day he had driven a horse with a
short pedigree long enough, so he went np the Sacramento
river and purchased a five year old gelding by Sable Wilkes
2:18, dam Signet by Le Grande, second dam Signal by Del
Sur, third dam Lady Signal by Signal. The geldiDg is a
big bay, fully "ixteen hands high and a good looker. Mr.
Abernatby has placed him in the hands of J. M. Nelsoo. of
Alameda, who will teach him how to go.

It is possible that the Washington Park Club may give a
one-day trotting and pacing meeting this eeason in Chicago,
the date being taken right after the close of tbe running
meeting in the end of July. The idea as at present ex-
pressed is to get the great trottiog BtalHoos, Tommy Britton
2:08, CresceuB 2:07}, Lord Vincent 2:08f, Peter the Great
2:07}, Bingen 2:06}, and one or two more in a free-for-all for
a big purse, and then round out the afternoon's program with
a couple of pacing race? for, Bay, the 2:11 and 2:15 classes.

The Trotting Association in France has opened a number
of important events to be contested in 1900 over the tracks
at Neuilly, Levallois, and Viceones. The list of interna-
tional events shows one for 40,000 franc?, one for 20,000
francs, two for 15,000 francs and three for 10.000 francs.
Further information in regard to these events will be for-
warded by M. V. Hunger. Secretary, 12 rue de 1' Arcade,
Paris, France. Tbe conditions to these events rfq lire that
all American horses shall be provided with export certificates
issued by agents of tbe National Trotting Association.

A handsome mare is Alameda 2:15, daughter of Alta-
mont, a picture of which graces the title page of the North
Pacific Rural Spirit of last week Alameda is a bay mare,
15.2 hands high and is six years old. Sbe raced as a our
year old, winning five first moneys and two seconds, taking a
record of 2:27. Last year she again won five times and was
twice second in her races, and reduced her mark to 2:15. It
is said she outclassed any trotter on the northern circuit and
2:12 would not have Btopped her. She won first prize at the
Oregon and Washington State fairs in the prize ring. She
will be raced this year again and 2:10 is predicted for
her. Her dam is by Dick Flaherty 2:29*, a son of Fear-
naught.

From the pen of George A, Ryan comes the following:
"During the winter months the 'hot atr circuit* produces
2:10 tr .liters galore, while the pacers, being groomed for the
two-minute goal cannot be counted on one's two hands.
Along with these performances there comes to light every
once in a while stories aud incidents that have a midwinter
value, and are missed in tbe hurly-burly of the racing season.
There are manv who think a 'horse is a horse,' and that ends
it. Bot breeding counts, and the many who drive only on
the road appreciate breeding, even if the race horse speed is
missiog. A well bred trotter, as a rule, is easily broken to
citv sights, and while even ten years ago it was an easy thing
to find man-eaters, kickers and balky horses for the profes-
sional horse trainer to exhibit his skill on, the unruly borse
is now tbe rare exception. Brains in the horse counts as
well as in man."

F. M. Mosier, a former Californian, is now located at
Kahoka, Missouri. He is still interested in the light harness
horses, and in a letter ordering the Breeder and Sports-
man for a year states that he has a few good ones that he
took with him from California and will race through the
Blue Ribbon circuit in the West (his year. Among them is
Lottery T. by Lotterv Ticket, which he tbinks is "the great-
est trotter on earth." He has aleo J. W. B. by Elector and
he is looking fine and doing well. Another California horse
in his string is a pacer by Brown Jug out of a mare by Elec-
tioneer. He has a few others, picBed up since locating in
Missouri. Mr. Mosier's many friends in California will wish
him a big slice of every purse he starts for.

The initial promenade of tbe Los Angeles Driving Club
was held last Saturday afternoon on Figaero street io Los
Angelee, and was a very successful affair- The clubmen
turned out in force arrayed in the best that their stables
allowed. Tbe majority of the members drove in "bikes,"
but quite a few appeared with light rubber-tired vehicles.
The only decorations shown were the club colors of blue and
orange, with which the whips were entwined. During the
hour the members drove up and down the thoroughfare.
Everyihing was done to make the promenade as informal as
possible; no speeding was indulged in, it being purely a social
parade for tbe benefit of the public. Besides the members
of the Driving Club there were a great many outside turn-
outs on the street. Among the well known horses tbe follow-
ing participated : Chico, Harry Winchester, Sophia R.,
Buckwood, Nellie B., Seaside, Ardent, Roan Wilkes, Mow-
itz3, Larrie, Dewey, Billy Green, Cash, Beveta, Lijero and
Stipulator.

A qtintet of Denver's best horses arrived home yester-
day. Two of them are Charley Roberts' well known pacing
team, W. W. P. and Roberts, which returned from a tour of
the Chicago and New York sale Btables. Jn neither city did
the horseB bring the figure that was desired and consequently
Roberts bid them in himself. With this pair came a brace
of young trotters which Roberts bought in the EaBt. One is
a three year old, Klondyke, which will be entered in the
three year old trot at the coming meeting at Overland Park.
The other is a green one, a two year old, which has shown
considerable speed. Tbe fifth horse of the bunch was
Dubois' Bros.' well known campaigner, Success, which has
been wintering at New York. The animals arrived in good
condition and will be put in training at once at Overland
Park. There are nearly 100 horses training now at Overland,
almost twice the number that haB b en there during any
spring in the past. — Denver Times.

The Fair Grounds at Fresno are for sale, and unless pur-
chased by some one who will keep the property intact as a
training and racing track, may be cut up into building lots
and one of the finest racing properties in the State destroyed.
Tbe buildings and other improvements on the grounds
(which consists of 100 acres of fine land adjoining the town)
cost in tbe neighborhood of $30,000 and can be purchased
for that sum It is a splendid place to train horses the year
round, is the centre of a thriving country and could be made
to pay a good profit if in the hands of some progressive,
active person. A well conducted meetiog at Fresno could be
made to pay interest on the entire investment required to
purchase tbe property, and stall rent, hay and grain crops
and privileges of bar, restaurant, etc, would add quite a
Bum to tbis amount. Here is a grand opening for some pro-
gressive horseman or an association that is interested in
advancing the interests of Fresno county.

The report that the business of Charles F. Bdtes wa6 to be
continued turns out to be untrue. The unique personality
of the noted horseman was largely responsible for his remark-
able success as a dealer in high-st'ppers. and now that he is
dead all his horses are to be sold at auction. Tbe sale will
take place at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, Marcb
27th. Nearly 150 animals are to be Bold, the collection
comprising 90 head at ihe New York stables in WeBt End
avenue and about 50 head from the training farm at Hub-
bird, Ohio. Among tbe well known show horses that will
pass under the hammer are Coxey, Whirl of the Town,
Brown Donna, Sportirg Life, Applause, The Ooly Way,
Daily Report, Dailv News, The Conqueror, The Ooly One,
White Rock and Latitude 2:15. Coxey and Whirl of the
Town are probably the best known show horses in America
Eacb has won rhampion konoisat the National Horse Show,
and Bates' office walls were covered with blue and red
rosettes won by these sporty little dock-tailed trotters.

At an auction in New York last week, the principal offer-
ings were from the stable of H. Bernheimer, of Baltimore,
and included such fivers as Parker S. 2:06*. Tiger Tom 2:21},
Joe Wible 2:20}, together with several green ones of promise
that have not yet been seen in public. One of these was tbe
black pacer Jersevwood, bv Arrowood, that is credited with
a trial in 2:12}. Trainer W. H. Snyder, acting for the well
known Brooklyn horseman, E. T. Bedford, bid $2000 for the
fast five year old and got him. Snyder also bought for Mr.
Bedford the much-talked of gray trotter. General Shafter,
paying $1300 lor the son of Hawpatch. Though his record
it. no faster than 2:39}, be is said to have trotted a mile in
2:12 last season over the Pimlico track at Baltimore. For
Tiger Tom. P. T. Radiker, the former owner of El Rami
2:14, paid $1325. Charles Weiland bought tbe speedy four
year old trotter Lorna McGregor by Elyria for $760, on the
strength of a trial half-mile in 1:06} as a three year old.
Parker S., the festest horee in the collection, went for $600
to John McGuire, who has probably owned more fast pacers
than a jy man in New York.

B. F. Clyde, of Philadelphia, is likely to blossom out
into a fall-fledged racing man during the comiog season.
His magnificent Irish stallion Atbeling promises to be as
successful in this countrv as he waB in Ireland. Mr. Clyde
paid $15,000 for the great sire of cross country horses and
winners on the flat. He has a choice collection of mares,
and as Pennsylvania has won many honors on the turf by
horseB bred in that State, there is no valid reason why the
get of such a good race horse and sire should not be tri-
umphant in turf contests in this country.

Jockey Buchanan was suspended indefloitely for the
showing made by May W. in the seven furlong race in which
she Bnished third to Flamora and Ventoro. This is the sec-
ond jockey that haB got into serious trouble over the in and
out running of this mare, and it is to be hoped that the
Stewards will go further into the matter than has been done
in times past, when the ruling off of a rider seemed to be con-
sidered all the action necessary to be taken where May W.
was concerned. These two boys which are now under the

Entries in these two events will not be accepted after
April 9th.

In the ten bird pool events Bixteen squads of shooters
participated.

A new shooting organization has been formed at Los
Angeles with the purpose of banding together all the trap
shooting clubs in that end of the State. The new organi-
zation will Ve known as the Southern California Inanimate
Target Association. Already the principal gan clubs of Los
Angeles, Santa Ana, San Diego, Pomona and Ventura have
joined and other? are expected. Game has become bo scarce
in Southern California that sportsmen will have to resort to
trap shooting if they must follow sport and practice with the
shot gun. The first tournament of the association will be
held March 31st and April 1st on the grounds of the Los
Angeles Gan Club. It is the present intention to hold
tournaments semi-annually and to make the affair of special
interest.

An invitation practice tournament will beheld on the Los
Angeles Gun Clab grounds next Sunday.

MoMurohy Wins the Benedict Trophy.

Congratulations have been in order in wholesaele quantities
for Harvey McMurchy and his charming bride since last
Wednesday, when the famous shot gun expert and Chester-
field of the sportsmen's fraternity was married to Mrs. Lucia
Moore, a beautiful and accomplished Alameda lady well
known in musical circles across the bay and an immense
favorite with the smart Bet. The ceremony took place at
the residence of the bride's sister, Mrs. L. G. Phillips, 1822
Santa Clara avenue. Mr. and Mrs. McMurchy have left for
Coronado, where they will spend their honeymoon. They
will be at home in Fulton, N. Y., May 1st.

The 9ame Law Convention.

At a meeting of the Board of Fish and Game Commission-
ers held on Wednesday the Board took action in regard to a
communication received requesting it to issue a call for
''a convention of sportsmen interested in game protection,"
to request county Boards of Supervisors to appoint two dele-
gates from each county and to appoint twenty-five delegates
at large from the State, who will be chosen with reference to
getting capable and earnest workers in tbe cause.

The Board is in favor of the movement and will issue a
call for a convention as proposed, to be held in San Fran*
cisco. Messrs. Vogelsang and Keller were appointed a com-
mittee to fix tbe date for holding the convention and arrange
all necessary details.

Marin Oounty "Will Protect its Game,

Tbe Marin County Game Association will introduce an
ordinance at the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors
limiting tbe bunting of deer and quail in the county this
year to one week, the deer season to open July 15th and
close July 22d.

Marin county has been noted as a section prolific in its
supply of fish and game, possibly more so than any other
hunting and fishing territory in the world located so near a
metropolis. The abuse of privileges, tbe wholesale destruc-
tion of fin and feather and also the persistent and systematic
opposition by individuals to the county organization and
authorities in r/rotec'ing same and preventing the absolute
disappearance of the denizsns of the county streams and
furred and feathered game of its hills and valleys, has nec-
essitated the adoption of rigorous measures for game and
fish protection and propagation.

Robert Liddle, Sr., gave a clever exhibition of skill in
pigeon shooting last Sunday at Ingleside. The veteran
armorer dropped his first bird, a corking tai lender from num-
ber two trap, with the second barrel, making a very pretty
long shot, 'though he scored feathers with the first barrel.
Hii second bird was a strong towering pigeon from trap five,
in quickly killing with the first barrel Mr. Liddle executed
a difficult shot that made some of tbe experts present open
their eyes. A round of applause and considerable hand-
shaking for his creditable work was given the old sportsman,
who is now in his seventy-sixth year.

The Olympic Gun Club parlors will be devoted to one of
their always entertaining functions in the nature of a "St.
Patrick's Night Jinks" this evening. That the Olympians
and their guests will be there in force and that "music, mirth
and song" will reign supreme among the sportsmen is a fore-
gone conclusion.

The Uoion Gun Clab have elected the following named
officers for tbe en&nine year: President, E. 8. Michelssen;
Vice-President, Joseph Pisani; 6ecretary-Treasorer, T. L.
Lewis, and captain, O. Fisher. R I gen, T. L. Lewis and
Dr. H. C. Trask will represent tbe club on the Board of
Governors of the California Inanimate Target Association.

Stow Lake Fly-Casters.

THE TUNA OF THE MEDITERRANEAN.

The Capture of the Monster Tunny Fish.

Much has been written about the "leaping tuna," so called
and found in the waters around about Catalina Island, and
numerous have been the stauDch fight? ibis grand 6sh has
given the anglers who have put out into the ocean in their
boats after him — nor do they always gsff the bugh mackerel
after he has been struck, for he has a well earned record of
having smashed much good tackle, aye, and even of having
npset bnals and left the adventurous fisherman in some very
unpleasant situations. The habitat of the tuna, tbe tunny
or thunoy as he has been properly known, is the Mediterra-
nean sea. The fish of that name frequenting our southern
waters have, it is claimed, original!? followed the Gnlf Stream
and other currents, finally locating in our southern waters
where they now abound and seem to be thoroughly at home.
We know him fairly well in his new location, what the pro-
genitors and cousins of our tunas are can be learned from
the following by a writer in the New York Express:

Oae of the most thrilling and wonderful sights in the
world is that of the tunny fisheries of the Mediterranean sea.
The pursuit of these great and swift fishes is not a mere tame
operation of netting. It is a fight between man and sea creat-
ures such as is duplicated nowhere except in the whale fisher-
ies. The tunny is a huge mackerel. He is a predaceous
fish and his course through the seas is that of a destroyer
without parallel. So deadly is the tunny to the schools of
herring and other fishes that he is called the herring hog.

The tunny fisheries are distinctly European, and they
are tte oldest fishing industry that is known in the
Mediterranean sea. To capture them men must band them-
selves together in large bodies, for fishermen singly could do
nothing with these fishes, which grow to a length of ten feet
and weigh over half a ton sometimes. Therefore there is a
system of co-operation on the coasts that are visited by the
tunny, a system which dates back to the Phceiicians, who
were great tunny catchers in their time.

The perfection of this system is due, among other things,
to the fact that the big fishes have absolutely regular hibits.
In normal times they can be relied on to make their appear-
ance at certain periods almost to the minute. When they
come it is in huge schools tbat can be seen afar, for they
scour the water like ships of war, and the leapings of their
prey and the leapings of tbeir own bulky bodies beat the
deep into white foam and lather.

Since they are so exact in their habits, the fishermen pre-
pare for them always before their arrival. At some desig-
nated spot are spread eoormons nets, exceedingly deep and
made of the strongest of line. These are not designed to
catch the tunnies. They are spread out merely to force the
fishes to edge in an in until thev are led to the real prison
net, where is a vast contrivance set in an immense square,
strong and large enough to defy anything that swims.

As soon as the last of the school has entered tbis box-like
inclosure the sides of tbe great net are raised at a signal.
At first the imprisoned fishes do not show any signs of alarm,
but as tbe net rises, inch by inch, from the water depths
gleaming, swordlike backs appear here and there above the
surface, darting with incredible swiftness from side to side of
the net. Each instant more of theee living blades appear
above the surface.

Then the fishes begin to leap Here one launches him-
self straight out of the water — 500 pounds of glorious life —
toward the sky, to craBh back into tbe sea with a tUil like
blow of sides and tail tbat makes the ocean echo. Another
and another rises and falls back. Soon tbe scene is as if
the abysses of the sea were sponting their inhabitants, for
hnndtedsof immense silver flashing fishes rise everywhere
at once within the net.

But now a new element enters. Long, narrow fiahing
boats push into tbs inclosure. In them stand brown men
with lances and spears and big knives lashed to poles
Then begins a fight that is terrible to see. The men thrust
madly into the struggling masses of fishes. The fishes leap
and roll and dive and leap again, hammering the sea with
tails tbat churn like the screws of steamships and whiten the
waves with foam. Before many rrmu:es boats and men are
drenched with bloody water. The surface of the ocean is
red. Oat of tbe smoking spray peer faces now and then
that are dabbled with blood till they look scarcely human.

Now and then a man slips and falls among the harried
fishes. Then there are loud screams from his companions
and cries of supplication from him as he calls to his patroo
saint, for it is bo joke to fall among those mighty bodies that
are dashing around in their death throes.

So the fight continues till in that inclosed space of sea
there is not a fish alive. Every boat is half full of water
and loaded down with living silver, where tbe slim, piratical
bodies of the beautiful fishes lie. The inhabitants of the towns
near the scene of tbis fishing make a fete day of tbe arrival
of the tunny, for it means food and employment for manv
hundreds of men, women and children. The fish is a fav-
orite article of food, especially when salted, and the roe is a
great delicacv, which brings fancy prices. Tbe tunnies that
are caught off the Italian coasts have to be passed through
the custom Louse when they are landed, like any other mer-
chandise, and the streets there present a strange appearance
then, for on all sides are wheelbarrows fall of the shapely,
monstrous creatures.

The membes of the Fly-Casting Club who unpacked their
rods last Saturday and whipped their lines over the placid
bosom of the Dark lake had almost ideal weather for accur-
acy and delicacy events The wind, which was variable,
interfered Bomewhat with the long distance work. In this
event Harry Golcber put out the greatest length of Bilk. E.
A. Mocker, whose work is improving steadily, and F. H.
Reid were next up to the high score. In the other events a
perusal of the scores, whilst showing a good average of the
casters entered will also show that Mr. Mansfield was some-
what in the lead throughout.

On Sunday morning the increased attendance of angling
enthusiasts was surely a criterion that practice fly-casting is
a most congenial sport and will have a strong following.
Tbe weather was perfect and scores were shoved up several
notches by various rod-wielders. The attendance of specta-
tors was large and continuous and the .interest taken in the
casting unabated.

Messrs. Golcber and Daverkosen were the only successful
casters who exceeded the 100-yard mark. Brotherton was
next man up. Mr. Mansfield was again high-rod in accuracy
with Young and Everett second. In delicacy Mansfield and
Muller annexed the high pegs. In the lure or bait casting
Mr. Mansfield was the leader followed closely by Mr. J. G.
Blum, of Chicago, who was the guest of the club.

The scores for the two days' casting are given as follows:

Saturday Contest No. 3— Stow Lake, March 10, 1900. Wind,
variable, leather, warm and clear.

Judges— Messrs Skinner and Oolcher. Referee, Mr. Muller.

Were it generally known that the smelt is adapted to fresh
water and may be successfully planted in m .si of our large
e'ear lakes there would be n great call for it for stocking
purposes. A few smelt placed in Lake Cbamplain, New
York, some years ago have led to their permanent establish-
ment in that water, and those who have eaten them pro-
nounce them fully equal in quality to tho?e of salt water
growth. The delicate texture and delicious flavor of the
smelt give it rank with the most delectable of the sea fishes.
People whose homes are near the coast or bays where it
abounds, appreciate it as a luxury, and if it would bear trans-
portation as well as the oysier, the demand for it at great
distances in the interior, would be almost equal to the sources
cf supply.

About one thousand pounds of illegal sized striped bass
have been seized this week. Tbe first lot was captured by
Deputy Fish Commissioner J. H. Davis, who found the fish
on the steamer Gold. They had been shipped from Petaluma
to this city. The second lot was taken charge of at Fisher-
man's wharf.

Tbe fish were consigned to A. Paladioi and the American
Union Market. Joe Barber 1 1, who made forcible resistance
to a similar seizure bv Datis a couple of months ago and was
knocked out for bis interference, came down with a team for
tbe fish, and, finding the deputy in possession, undertook to
browbeat him. The bass were donated by the Commission
to tbe King's Daughters' Home for Incurables, the Metho-
di&t Orphanage and tbe General Hospital at the Presidio.

Striped bass have been plentiful in tbe markets for several
weeks past. The fish are now in condition fit for an epicure.
They are caught principally near the mouth of Petaluma
creek in the shoal water adjicent where they are feeding on
tbe small fry. Al Sommerfield recently caaght a five
pounder with rod and line near tbe Petaluma Gun Club

house on tbe creek.

The arrest of Joseph Bertrand, tbe proprietor of a hotel at
Tociloma, was made on Tuesday by Deputy Fish Commis-
sioner Tom Irving. Illegal tront fishing was tbe charge pre-
ferred against Bertrand. Considerable complaint baa hen
often made against the illegal methods pursued, in and out
of season, by a set of disreputable Frenchmen who make
Bertraod's place their headquarters. It is to be hoped an
example will be made of tbe cnlprit in this case.
m

Steelhead have been caught by Petaluma anglers in the
oreek. Tbe fish are of good size and fairly plentiful.

St. Bernards at the Chicago Show.

The Mascontah Kennel Club's show in Chicago last week
has been looked upon in Western doggy circles as an all
round success.

The following article by Harry W. Lacy, of Boston, anent
the 8t Bernard exhibit will be no doubt read with consider-
able interest by Coast lovers of the "8aintly" breed ;

In gauging a show like this, one must consider the average
quality. In some breeds there is a deterioration both in
numbeis and quality — that tangible but none the less import-
ant quality which separates the patrician from the plebeian.
The average reader may not be aware that the termB "char-
acter" and 'Hype" are sharply defined, as referred to dogs
among fanciers, and to draw the distinction still tighter there
is a difference, imperceptible perhaps to tbe ordinary ob-
server, between character and type. A dog may be of the
type which illustrates a breed anj still lack "that something"
which fanciers understand as "character," or, in other words
"expression." The expression of a mastiff is different from
that of a St. Bernard, and the latter in tarn would not fit a
•J real Dane.

Thus one may say the quality of this Bhow surpasses in
the aggregate of average any yet held by the Mascoutah
Kennel Club.J A good specimen here and there does not
constitute the quality of a class, and tbis is why one ib justi-
fied in saying that 8t. Bernards, which open the catalogue, do
not compare with last year either in quality or numbers.
Still, there are individual dogs which could scarcely be ex-
celled in America.

The "Saintly" breed, as the Si. Bernard is nicknamed by
the "fancy" is certainly the most popular among tbe large
breeds The characteristics of the St. Bernard demand that
it should have a deep, Equare head, moderately short in
muzzle, the skull being double tbe length of the head, and a
long, raDgy bedy set on straight forelegs and well-bent hind
legs, heavy in bone and compact in feeij in color, red, orange,
brindle or white, with patches of any of the above colors ; in
general appearance, large and powerful, with great muscular
development, suggesting strength.

With this digression I may proceed to an analysis of the
classes. The judge, Mr. Waters, has had lots of experience
in the breed, having, among many others, owned that grand
dog, Champion Alton II.

Kough puppy dogs lacked both tvpe and quality, but be-
tween tbe two winners I like Mrs. Olsen's Joseph K.
Emmet, second, to Baby Bowser, first. The latter is lacking
in stop — the drop between the forehead and the muzile,
which in a St. Bernard should be well pronounced. Besides,
tbe skull is too domed.

In tbe class for novice dogs the judge had a difficult task,
always the case with a big lot of dogs of mediocre pretensions.
The winner was picked it? Sir Athanor, a dark-faced dog
without the characteristic markings — white noseband, blaze
and collar, so fully developed as second. Duke of Giles, which
shows more quality, stands better on his legs, but is not so
correct in body, bis color being all white. The class for
limit dogs brought out one of those individual good speci-
mens which lend so much interest to these exhibitions.
There were several fair docs, not to mention Frank Jay
Gould s semi-crack, Chantrell Prince.

Le King, the winner, is unfortunately marked in face, the
black shading being carried almost to (he nose on one side.
This results in tbe delusion tbat he is deficient in stop, but
from tbe other side and closer inspection one finds that the
grand proportions of his head leave little to desire — deep,
square and missive describes bis frontispiece, and fittingly
offsets a grand, lengthy body, covered with a splendid flat
coat, in color while, splashed with orange, tawny markings.
He stands on perfect legs of great substance, and moved with
fine action, even oo the slippery floor. To my idea, he could
be improved, with more spring of ribs and a wider chest.
Chanlrell Prince is a fine, symmetrical, richly colored dog,
not so massive as the other nor eo strong in hind legs. The
winner wa«. bred by the famous lady exhibitor. Mrs. A. W.
Lee of Toledo, and is one of the shortest-beaded of bis sire's
(Champion Le Prince) get. The third winner, Gen. V. 8.
Grant Jr., is tbe son of an old time winner at Chicago shows,
and is a *ell set-up little dog, with which little fault can be
found. In the open class three good ones were kept in for
the finish, Le King and Chantrell Prince being eventually
divided by Antocrat, Prince taking tbe little end of the deal,
which is not usually a Gould situation Autocrat has made
np into a better quality dog; his bead hBs filled ont and
assumed more of the benignment expression which consti-
tutes one of the charms of tbis breed, and in all-round action
he is superior to Prince, though Bcsrcely eo equare in finish
of muzzle.

THE FARM.

&. Tonic and Fattener for Hogs.

I have been raising artichokes for the past
five years, have read of the merits of sugar
beets, maneel wurzels, rutabages, turnips and
other vegetables as a winter stock food, but
for productiveness, combined with nutritive
value, small cost in harvesting the crop, I can
not conceive of anything lha>. equals the arti-
choke, especially for hogs. Other root crops
I have not tried owing to the fact that frost
would greatly irjure them if not harvested
and safely stored away; but with the artichokes
this is wholly unnecessary, as they will remain
fresh and sound through the most seveie
freezing weather, with a covering of half inch
of earth.

I doubt not that many who look upon the
artichoke in condemnation, do so because they
have not given them a fair trial. We could
not expect a bunch of 15 or 20 hogs to live
and fatten for five or six months through the
winterer, one-eighth of an acre of corn, and
so with tbe artichoke. Make the siza of your
artichoke patch in proportion to yield and
number of hogs to be pastured, and you will
have, with very little grain, a bunch of hogs,
or ahoats, that are fat, sleek and in perfect
health.

The effect of the artichoke on tbe digestive
organs cf swine is gently purgative, an effect
to which all animal life should be subject,
especially during the period when vegetation
is dormant.

So deeply am I impressed with the health-
giving qualities of toe artichokes and the
great risk I would take without them, that I
say, where the hog grows there should the
artichoke grow also. J. E. Haynes.

8. B. Johnson in American Poultry
Journal : Turkeys like to hide their nests
as much as possible. I have' found that a
box or a sugar barrel turned,[down, with the
opening concealed by brush, makes the best
nest.

The hens in this latitude (Indiana) begin
laying about the middle of March or a little
later. My strain lays from eighteen to thirty
eggs before going broody. By carefully select-
ing the best layers sod keeping their young,
observing this course for a, '.term" of years, a
breeder can secure a strain that will lay at
least a third more eggB than the common ran
of turkeys. I have been very particular in
this mattei, and bave brought up the
National strain to an egg yield that many do
not realize. 8iogle specimens have laid nixly
eggs before wanting to sit. When I find the
females getting broody while J still wish them
to lay, I take them from the nest before they
have sat all night. They are harder to break
if left a single night on tbe nest. I take the
ben gently under my arm to a dry and airy
coop, and keep her shut up two or three days
without feed, but with drinking water. On
releasing her she will seek food and show no
inclination to sit. In a day or two she will
start laying again. By this means I gener-
ally get two layings in one season. When I
have received late orders for eggs I have
made the hens lay four timef; but they do not
lay aB many eggs after the first t
before becoming broody.

The nrst sittings when hatching season
opens I put under "chicken" hens,'ii J haye
a good trusty old biddy. Then I let tbe
turkey hen bave the second clutch. As soon
as the poults are old enough to run with the
old hen those hatched by the "chicken" are
weaned. Then, if the weather is not too
damp, I put the whole lot with the turkey for
her to mother, as a turkey hen v. ill care for
as many as you will give her end never com-
plain a bit. Then I let her roam the field but
see to it that she is cared for at Dight.
Turkeys raised in this way are much healthier
larger aod stronger, and make much better
breeders tbe next year, than those cared for
by other methods.

The Swipe's Advice.

Pleasanton, Cal., March 20, 1900-
T. E. Keating went to Chico a few days ago to look at
several hordes which he may bring to Pleasanton and place
in his training string.

The Green estate has placed four fine trotters in training
at the tract under the guiding hand of J. M. Alviso. They
are as follows : Bertina, a five year old by Directum 2:05J
dam a Piedmont mare; Redligbt, a four year old full sister
to Berlins, and two yearlings by McKinney. They are not
being worked for racing but for sale. Mr. Alviso worked
Bertina a mile in 2:23, last quarter in 34 seconds, four day8
ago. The following day Bertina stepped around the first
turn in 33 seconds. But one or two trotters trained at this
track have ever stepped here a qnarter as fast.

James Sutherland has sold to C. L. Crellin a fine pair of
horses, full brothers by Chae. Derby, dam by Yosemite«
They stepped a mile in 2:30 a few days before the sale. Mr.
Crellin will use them exclusively as a carriage pair.

To the already large string being handled by Mr. Suther-
land have been added recently three Diablos — three, four and
five years old respectively. They are the property of Mr-
Carnile of Livermore. One of the colts has been named
Bill Muaray and like his namesake is "a good one."

Frank H. Burke, of the firm of Madison & Burke, was an
interested visitor at the track Monday.

Geo. Davis, owner of Kay Direct, has purchased from
-Wm. Murray a three year old colt by Diablo, Davis has de-
cided to register him under the name of "Diablo Bill.'' With
the Direct colts he has in training Mr. Davis has a fine stable

of horses.

King Cadenza and I Direct worked out together this week
The heats were in slow time and each took one. I Direct
worked a mile in 2:14, last half in 1:06 a few days since.

Chas. Griffith has sold Jib Albert 2:17£ to Egbert Stone
the well known Oakland capitalist, so this horse will not go
East to be sold.

Anaconda was given a slow mile last Monday, jogging
around in 2:23. He is looking well and seems to be im-
proving all the time.

William Murray got up behind Don Derby, the full brother
to Diablo 2:09* recently purchased by T. E. Keating, and
stepped him a half, the first quarter in 35 and the second
in 33| seconds.

New horses are arriving here every week and the stables
are filling up pretty well. There are more left, however,
and those who wish to train at the greatest trsck on earth
can be accommodated.

David Young, of Stockton, was here Tuesday. He has
decided to send a couple of McKinney colts here for train-
ing, and they will probably be in Ed Lafferty's charge.

The six colts recently purchased by Millard Sanders from
the Oakwood Stock Farm showed some wonderful work Sat-
urday. Princess Derby, a four year old, worked a mile in
twenty-five and the last quarter in thirty-two and three-
quarters; Rubato, a three year old, worked a mile in thirty,
the last half in teD; Petronilla, a three year old, worked a
mile in thirty-one, the last half in ten and a half; Northern
Belle, a three year old, worked a mile in thirty five, the laBt
quarter in thirty-six, and Allen Derby, a three year old,
worked a mile in thirty and the last quarter in thirty-five,
Hiac Klatawah, a three year old, worked a mile in thirty
and the last quarter in thirty six. Considering the ages and
all this is remarkable time for this season of the year.

Boydello 2:14| in Sander's string worked a mile Saturday
in twenty-eight and is moving along very nicely.

4 letter received by Millard Sanders to-day from Charles
Tanner of Cleveland stateB that he is looking for a number
of fast ones this year and aske that Mr. Sanders keep an eye
out for him. Cobb.

Races for Matinee and Speeding Horses.

An effort is being made by the speedway brush committee
of New York to bring together the fastest road horBes of all
the large cities. If the project succeeds the leading trotters
and pacers in harness at the present time will be united to
compete with the New York cracks on their Bpeedway.

Boston, Datroit, Cleveland, Providence, Philadelphia,
Buffalo and De9 Moines have their representative steppers*
and it is the intention of the New York road drivers to ar-
range intercity races to take place next spring. The races
will be for glory alorie, and only gentlemen drivers will be
permitted to take part.

The sport, however, will not be confined to New York
alone, and some of their star performers will measure strides
with the contingent in any city selected.

Hereafter any important brushes scheduled to take place
on the New York Speedway will be under the direction of a
committee. The horses will be sent off together by a mem-
ber of the committee, and other members will be stationed
along the stretch and at the finish to time the performance.
This action was brought about on account of the unsatiefac-
tory manner of the old method of conducting brushes between
good horses, as it was seldom that two horses, even, got an
honest break on the start.

Standard bred draft stallions which were going a begging
in Sonoma county for twelve years past, are changing bands
at big figures. 8ix weeks ago G. P. McNear sold a fifteen
hundred pound Clydesdale Btallion for $850. Last week he
received a written offer from a 8an Louis Obispo man, of
$1200 for the same horse. J. Grimes, who picked up a four-
teen hundred pound Btallion three months ago for $500,
refused an offer Saturday of $1000, made by Joseph Nightin-
gale, of Napa county.

A number of sales of draft stock made here the past month
averaged $175 per horse. Farmers from up the county and
over the coast way were here this week hunting for all round
purpose teams.

Theodore SMlhman, of El Verano, Sonoma county, is
reported to be organizing a stock company for importing
French and English draft horses. In years gone by Mr.
Skillman was one of the biggest importers of NormanB in the
State. He brought many famous horses to California. His
idea is to capitalize heavily and start a big breeding farm,
also to sell imported stock.

Unless some of the numerous plans brought forth are soon
crystalized into action the old Petaluma race track will soon
be a thing of the past and the ground on which old time per-
formers won money and records will soon be devoted to
chicken raising. The property is now owned by the Wicker-
sham Backing Company and is valued at $15,000. Recently
a resolution was introduced in the Petaluma city council to
bond the city for this amount and revive interest in fairs
and racing. And obstruction in the city charter and luke-
warm interest caused. lhe_ resolution _to_ _be_ withdrawn. _ A.
new board of trade was organized here two weeks ago and
the matter will be brought to its attention. The old track
was once considered ihe fastest north of San Francisco. The
property embraces a big tract of land and the old agri-
cultural fair buildings. E. C. 8.

A. H. Miller's California Horses.

A. H. Miller, a well known capitalist of Buffalo, New
Yoik, hae three California horses which are in the string of
W. L Snow, a trainer who is located at Hornellsville in
in that State. A correspondent of the American Horse
Breeder writes of them as follows:

A. H. Miller's pacer Agitato 2:09 is looking especially
good, and Mr. Snow thinks in him he has one that will do.
If looks on March 1st go for anything and portrays future
form, he certainly has it.

During the winter and spring of 1899 much was beard of
this horse, and the showirg he was making in the stable of
Tom Keating at PleaBantoo, Cal. He was brought over the
mountains, his first stop being at Denver, Col., where he was
taken down with catarrhal fever, that came near ending Mb
dayBasaturf performer. Previous to this he had been
worked along with Searchlight and Anaconda, and it is said
that at no time in their different workouts did these noted
performers have any edge over Agitato.

It is authoritatively stated that he worked a mile in 2:03 J.
Tnis does not seem improbable, when it is a matter of public
record that in the mile he got his record, the first six fur-
longs were paced in 1:301 From that point he simply
jogged home. With all this speed and condition to carry it,
Snow is liable to have another again this season that he can
Bweep the grand circuit with as he did in 1899 with Hal B.

Mamie Griffin is another that looks especially good. She
has never raced this side of the Rockies, but if one will take
the pains to look her up in the Year Book, he will find that
she was not only a consistent performer but a fast one as well,
winning a majority of her racing engagements.

Lolita is another member of this stable that belongs to
Mr. Miller, and also had the misfortune to be sick most of
last season She showed that she could pace three times in
2:10 or better. This one is eligible to the 2:17 class and
ought to be a factor in these events.

Mr. Miller is to be congratulated on the possession of such
a trio of nerformers, and his many friends will watch with
interest for their success during the coming racing season,
and be ready to extend congratulations to one of Buffalo's
most popular horsemen.

Word comes from Los Angeles that Mr. Miller has recently
made another California purchase, this time the trotting
mare Gazelle 2:lli, by Gossiper, and report has it that $5250
was'the price paid. Gazelle was foaled in 1891 and made her
record at Woodland in 1836. Her dam Gypsy is by General
Booth 2:30*, a son of Geo. M. Patchen 30, and her grandam
Echo Belle is also the grandam of Conn 2:15}, and is by
Echo. Gazelle was bred by Ben Daviee, San Bernardinot
Cal., and made her turf debut as a two year old at Los An-
geles, being second to McZeos. Ten days later she started at
8an Bernardino and took a two year old record of 2:29}. In
her three year old form she proved herself one of the great-
est trotters on the Pacific Coast. She has been owned for
some time by Mr. C. A. Winship of Los Angeles.

Answers to Correspondents.

Will you kindly give the breeding of Alcona Jr., a st- llion
that stood in Sonoma county a few years ago, and oblige,
J. B. N.

Answer — Alcona Jr. 2:24, registered in Vol. 5, American
Trotting Register, is by Alcona 730, dam Madonna (dam also
of Del Ray 2:243) by Cassius M. Clay Jr. 22, second dam by
Joe Downiog 710. Alcona Jr. is the sire of Silas Skinner
2:17 and Graceful George 2:23.

Halter break the colls when a few days old, and break

them early in life to harness, as they are easier handled

v hen young. The belter care and feed they get the first two

- ears, especially the first, the better animals you will make

f them. Feed and care are everything in developing a colt.

What is the breeding of Roan Kit, grandam of Cherokee
Prince 2:18 and Alia Geneo 2:!4*?— Subscriber.

Roan Kit's breeding is unknown. She was brought across
the plains and sold to a Stockton merchant over thirty years
ago. Nearly all of her get could trot fast but none got
records below 2:30.

[Chicago Horse Review.]

"What you want now," said the swipe to the owner, "is a
fitud hoss About the time a green owner gets loaded up
with a bunch of dinkeys that can't do nothin' but eat, he
generally has a sore-fingered filly or two that he wants to
breed. Green owners always figure that a filly that steps to
the quarter in 35 seconds an' then calls for a crutch, is bound
to drop a world beater if she's bred to a good hoss. Them
kind gets bred to good studs, at a hundred a throw, just once,
then Mr. Owner commences to pike around for a pap a -hoes
of his own to save expenses. You've got the fillies, an*
you've b ed 'em to good horses once, bo it's up to yon to bay
one of your own. 8ee I "

"Well, yon have pretty near called the turn. I was think-
ing yesterday, " eaid the owner, "that I was a fool to send
these mares of mine c fi a couple of hundred miles, and pay
out more than the colts will be worth, when I can buy good
young stallions for a couple of hundred dollars. And, be-
sides, we ought to get outside mares enough to pay for the
horse."

"Sure thing," replied Jimmy. "I guess I'm a bad mind
reader, ain't I? Any time I can't size up an owner an' tell
what he's goin' to do to-morrow, I don't want a cent. A
stud horse? Sure yoo want one. You got to have one.
That's your next act. You'd drop right into the nine hole
an' never learn nothin' ahnut the biz if you didn't get that
stud an' make yourself think he's goin' to be the greateet
sire that ever stood up. A stud hess is the only thing that'll
save you at this Btage of the game. I'm dead against stud
bosses, but I ain't goin' to move my little hammer till it's all
over. 'Cause I know when an owner gets it framed up that
the quickest way to run a two hundred dollar bill up to a
a million is to put it in a bull colt. Nobody's hammer ain't
goin' to stop him.''

"Well, I certainly am not going to let you influence me in
the manner as long as I pay the bills. I want a stallion, and
I have made up my mind that I'm going to buy one right
away."

"Don't put it off," said Jimmy, "it's dangerous. Get a
hoss with a long name, a hoss that's half fat an' half neck,
an' commence knockin' Allerton, an' Sphinx' an' Williams,
an' Danfortb, an' all the other studs an' stud hoss owners in
the country. Tell yourself that yonr stud makes Baron
Wilkes an' Chimes look like street car hosses an' then com'
mence playin' for the farmers. You've got to play for the
Rubes in this business, an' you're goin' to nook 'em if yon
show 'em a fat hoss with a heavy mane. You ain't goin' to
do no business in this country unless you get a real country
stud hoss. A stud with a long pedigree an' a poor appeite
won't do. He's got to be built like a freight car or a walkin'
corn crib, 'cauBe the more fat yon put on him the more biz
you're goin' to do with the farmers. If you lose out on one
of them kind of studs it'll be because yon don't make the
proper noise. He's got to have a pedigree, too. He ought
to be by a son of Electioneer, out of a mare by George
Wilkes; second dam by Woodford Mambrino; third dam by
Alexander's Abdallah; fourth dam by Giflford's Morgan; fifth
dam by Grey Messenger, then you could call him Electioneer
Wilkes Mambrino Abdallah Morgan Messenger Jr. I guess
that name on a stud bill tacked on the blacksmith's door
wouldn't draw the .Rubes, would it? The rest is dead easy
You turn on the hot air an' deal the bills whenever a gay
stops to rubber, an' I stand out in front an' keep the bull off
my neck with a long whip. We do that stunt once a day
an' the coin begins to come easy. Am I right?"

"Not exactly," replied the owner. "I think we can get
the business by judicious advertising. An ad in the papers

and a poster of the right sort, and "

"That's what I'm tellin' you. A poster with a picture of
me an' you an' the bull, an' a write up — I'll write it myself,
'cause them pedigree experts wouldn't make it strong enough.
I'll say: ' Electioneer Wilkes Mambrino Abdallah Morgan
Messenger, Jr., is the only hoss in the world that's got every
kind o' hot blood in his system there is. If he don't jog in
2:03 on a trot, an' 1:57 on a pace, with one leg tied up, an'
do the cake walk an' the pas ma lah when he comes back to
the wire, they ain't nothin' in breedin'. He's the double
distilled extract of the tribes that produced Flora Temple,
Dexter, The Maid, Rarus, Nancy Hanks an' Alix, an' when
his high priced purple blood gets mixed with the common
dunghills in this countrv, we will have to put colts in the
court house an' all the churches to accommodate the hoss
buyers that'll stop oft at this junction. He's the only hoss in
the world with an Electioneer head, a Mambrino neck, a
Wilkes foot, a Morgan chest an' a Hambletonian rump.
He's only been harnessed sixty times, but he can step one-
twelfth quicker than the jock can start his clock. If he
don't have six hundred in the 2:10 list when he is twenty_
seven years old, all fees will be returned. For two months
he will be exhibited twice a day in front of Murphy's black-
smith shop by his owner an' groomster. His book will
open an' close on March 1st. Come before sunrise to avoid
the crush an' beware of pickpockets. All dams of four 2-10
performers will be bred on shares, an' — ' "

" Don't you think we had better make it a little Btronger ? ''
interrupted the owner.

11 No," said Jimmy, " 'cause if you make it too strong the
.Rubes don't believe it. Seel "

Death of Sweepstakes.

Hackney and Shire Horses.

Death of Maud S.

The dam of Star Poioter l:59i is dead at the age of
twentv-eight years at the home of her owner Mrs. Henry
Pointer near Spring Hill, Tennessee. Trotwood, the well
known Tennessee writer, says of her : "Bred for to object,
except as hundreds of her kind before her— a typical Ten-
nessee saddle horse— heralded by no great expectations, pos-
sessing no remarkable blood lines, a plain looking, light bay
mare of the typical height, about 15.2, changing hands
several times at the usual price of about one hundred ana
fifty dollars, used for farming and saddle purposes, and hav-
ing no opportunity for greatness and no expectation of fame,
yet she died the greatest dam of pacers that ever lived, and,
judged by the brilliancy of her produce, the greateBt mother
of them all. The story of Sweepstakes has been so often
told in this department that it wou'd be tiresome, perhaps,
to repeat it again. Knight's 8aow Heels, her sire, was a
horse little known and appreciated in his day. He was a
rather ordinary looking saddle stallion by Kniaht'e Tom
Hal, sire of Kittrell's Hal, the progenitor of the Hal family
in Tennessee. Oa his dam's Bide he, following the usual
coarse of pacing mare and thoroughbred cross, never had
any training and was never asked to pace in his life. But for
BweepBtakeB he would have been utterly unknown and long
since forgotten. As it was, he piBsed out of the order of
things long before his daughter made him famous. But
looking at his blood lines now, he was a well bred horse.
But the second dam of Sweepsteakes waB by a horse— Mc-
Meen's Traveler— as he is usually known in Tennessee, who
had more than a looal reputation as the sire of game, spirited
and handsome saddle horses, just prior to the war. He was
a handsome chestnut, a lineal descendant of the thoroughbred
Timoleon, and his dam was a fast pacing mare called Betsey
Baker, and known as 'a double Whip.' This meant that she
was inbred to the thoroughbred horse Whip. Traveler was
captured in one of Gen. Wilder's raids during the civil war,
bnt di*d before they got him out of the State. He was get-
ting old and was soft and the first day's ride of thirty miles
killed him.

8weep3takes waB the product of pacing and thoroughbred
blood, crossed and reerossed, a medium Bizsd saddle mare ,
bred quite by accident, bat in the usual custom of things.
and used for practical purposes under the saddle as hundreds
of others of her dav and time. The dam of the two greatest
pacers in the world, she was never asked to pace in her life,
and if she possessed the gait in any fixed degree, it would
have been trained out of her uoder the saddle. All that was
expected of her was a good running walk, and for the first
years of her life the man who owned her weighed over two
hundred pounds and rode her almost constantly. 8he was
blind of one eye, caused by him riding her through the
woods at night, a projecting limb injuring the member. In
the coarse of trading, Bhe fell into the hands of Capt. Henry
Pointer. Little Brown Jug had come out and established a
name for the Hal family by sweeping tbe ring of pacers just
before the eighties and pacing the three fastest heats in har-
ness ever paced by any horse before. Tom Hal, his sire, was
standing then near Spring Hill, and Sweepstakes was bred to
him. This foal was the redoubtable old racer, Hal Pointer
2:04i, whose fame went over the world and who first attracted
the world's attention to his hitherto unknown saddle dam.
Her other brilliant son was Star Pointer, who holds the
world's pacing record to-day. Bat neither of these horses
were accidents, as all the other produce of the old mare will
prove. It was in the blood of the quiet-looking and ordinary-
looking little bay mare, who possessel in such a remarkable
degree the power of transmitting such remarkable speed to
her ofispring. 8he was the dam of Hal Pointer, the greatest
pacing race horse that ever lived; of Star Pointer, the
champion of all pacerdom; of Stella, dam of Hal Index
2:20} and Domino 2:19J, and grandam of The Maid (4)
2:05i, the champion four year old pacing mare of the year
She was the dam of Sjllie Ward, dam of Argot Wilkes
2:14J, who produced the champion Argoreat, and a number
of other creditable ones. She was the dam of Villette, dam
of one with a mark of 2:13; of Talisman, with a two year
old trial of 2:30, and of several in the list; of Sky Pointer, a
yonng son who was sold for $3000 to California parties, and
which was considered as fast as any of her get, bat who died
early, and has left a number of speedy colts; of Cloud
Pointer, with a record of 2:24, trial 2:12, and who will on-
doubtedlv be another 2:10 performer of his great dam, and
finally of Dave McClary'a great coit, Maury Poioter, who
has paced a half in 1:05 already and is said to be the fastest
of the old mare's colts. Barely this is a record never before
held by any one mare, and in all likelihood will never again
be equaled by another.

The Buffalo Driving Club will hold its grand circuit
meeting the ween of August 6,b. Tbe club has decided not
to close the advance events until April 15lb, and the claws
for trotters will probablv be 2:12 or 2:13, 2:15 or 2:16 or 2.24,
the classes for pacers 2:09, 2:17 and 2:25. and the paries will
beS2000eacb. It has been decided to close the class races
the evening of the first day of the Detroit meeting, which"
Monday, July 16th, and those classes will likely be ZMS,
2:10, 2:20, 2:25 trolling; 2:04 and 2:13 pacing.

Export certificates were issued in England in 1899 to fifty-
seven Sbire stallions coming to tbe Uoited Stales. Ger-
many took six'een pare bred Shires and Canada one lees,
while the Argenline Republic took eighl; Austria, Holland
and Swilzerlatd four each, and Natal two.

Vol. XVII of tbe Hackney Stud Book of Ergland has
been issued. The atallionB included are from Nos. 6943 to
7323 and mares from Nos. 12389 to 13208. The Inspected
Mares run from No. 1389 to 1760. No leBS than 38 pages of
the book are filled with transfers and among tbe countries to
which Hackney stallions and mares have been sent since the
issuance of Vol. XVI are Italy, Russia, Japan, Africa,
Spain, Swilz3rland and the We3t Indies. A total of '.1916
members is listed. The record and obituary of Btallions is
a most useful feature and last in the book comes a list of
prize winners of the Hackney Societ>'s gold and silver
medalB and at the London Heckney Show.

The Shire Horse Society of Eogland has just published
Vol XXI of its Stud Book, wh;ch contains the names of
stallions numbered from 17,730 to 18,464, acd mares num-
bered from 27,327 to 30,584 The total cumber of entries
jn the volume is 4898, which constitutes a record, exceeding
by 500 the total of entries in Vol. XI, which has hi'herio
been the largest book published by the eoc ely. In addition
to the entries there is the usual statistical statement respect-
ing the twentieth annual London Show, held last year; the
the society's Bcheme of special prizes at connty shows; and
the usual compilation of the prize winners in Shire classes
at the principal county shows of 1899. There tre illuslra-
lions of Buscot Harold and Dunsmore Gloaming, which
were respectively the chsmpion stallion and mare at Ihe
London Show in 1899.

Mr. Arthur H. Godfrey has been elected Secretary of the
American Hackney Horse Society, succeeding Dr. W.
Seward Webb, who has been nominally secretary of that
society since its organizition: Mr. Godfrey was assistant
secretary for several years and preferred the arduous work
attendant upon the compilation and publication of the first
volumes of the Stud Book. No man is better qualified in
knowledge and enthusiasm than Secretary Godfrey to take
up the work ihat lies before the breeders of Hackney horses
in this country, and we infer that his election means that
thorough and systematic effort will again be exerted to ad-
vance ihe interests of this high stepping breed in America.—

Good Point Made by a Farmer.

New York, March 17 —Maud S., the famous trotter,
died at Schultz' farm, Portchester, N. Y , Ibis morning.
8he was brought to the fsim from New York a week ago,
and it was intended lo use her for breeding purposes. She
wa6 sick when she arrived here and had been under the care
of a veterinary surgeon. 8he gradually became worse, how"
ever, and all efforts to save Ihe life of the valuable aDimai
were fruitless Maud 8. was owned by ihe Bonner estate and
was 26 years of age. Her trotting record of 2:08} was made
in 1885.

Captain George F. Stone, now at the head of the Bel)
Telephone System of Cincinnati, was the purchaser of Maud
S. when she waB a two year old, owned by Mr. Bugher, of
Glendale. O. The price was nominal, and it was not uniil
she had been promineDt in training that any expectation of
great results was formed. It was then found that she pos-
sessed, in addition to all the speed nquisites, that other
requisite, good sense and an agreeable temper. She was
actually loved by all who formed her acquaintance, and after
she became queen of the turf, it is no exaggeration to say
that the feeling of her trainers toward her was akin to
worship.

It was at Lexingtor, Ky , that she won her first honors a»
a four year old by trotting a mile in 2:17}. Her next
record-breaker waB at Chicago, when she made it in 2:13}.
As a five year old Bbe still further reduced Ibis to 2:11}, and
at Buffalo to 2:101. Then began the efforts by others to beat
her record. Finally at NsrragaDselt Bay Jay Eye See made
the then startling record of 2:10 and deposed Maud 8. from
her position of queen of the turf. But the reign of her rival
was short.

Twenty-four hours after Jay Eye See made his record
Maud 8., at Cleveland, made the new record of 2:08 3-8 and
regained her lost title, but was later eclipEed by the still
lower records made possible by pneumatic tires and other
devices for increasing speed.

The United States Department of Aericulture stales that
there were 3,537,524 horses in this country at the beginning
of January, and that the value of the horses had increased
$7.21 per head on an average.

A speaker at a recent farmers' meeting when he, talking
of the profits of horse breeding, said there is no profit in
breeding horses because we do not breed the right kind. A
few years ago the farmers of the country came to the conclu-
sion that bicycles and automobiles were going to end the
career of the horse, that the price of horses must decline,
and that it did not pay to breed good horses. The American
farmer generally produces what he starts oat to produce, and
in this case he has succeeded admirably in producing the $35
horse. To begin with, he sold his b;st mares and bred from
those that were small and not good for the purposes which
buyers wanted to use horses for. As the mares were cheap,
it was useless to pay a large fee for service, and the high
priced Btallions were neglected. In Ihe end it was almost
impossible to pick up a carload of the kind of horses that
bring the best prices in the city markets. Horses have been
in demand all the time when tbe proper kind were offered.
Tbe markets are flooded with cheap horses, to be sure, but
there is and has all the time been a scarcity of heavy draft
horses, stylish road horses and stately coacb or carriage

horses.

If the farmers of the country want to receive good prices
for the horses they produce, they must produce the kind that
bring high prices. It does not pay to raise a horse that sells
for less than a good sleer will bring. Farmers moot stop

Regulating Breeding by Law.

In some countries horse breeding is regulated by law.
8ome gentleman, competent or otherwise, and receiving his
appointment, it may be, because he is somebody's third
cousin, will say that certain horses may stand for public ser-
vice, and certain others shall not. In some of these countries
the governments own the Btallions. There are some people
who advocate Buch a system for this coontty. When the
time comes that American breeders must receive their in-
structions from Borne gentleman acting under a commission
from a State or National authority, it is entirely safe to say
that they will go out of the business. The Americar breeder
will breed in his own way, or he will not breed at all. A New
Eogland paper suggests that by the time a goveinment in.
spector finished one Beason at this sort of business, be would
be ready to adopt some o,her method of earning a livelihood.
There is no country in the world where horse breeding is
regulated by law in which it has been anything like as sue.
cessfal aB in America, where there is no government super-
vision. One of the remarkable coincidences is that foreigners
all criticize our horses, some of them without stint, and all
want them. — Kentucky Stock Farm.

Ralph Bayard wsb appointed Racing Secretary of the
Bright jn Beach Racing Association at a recent meeting of
the Directors. The new incumbent is well known in racing
circles. He has been a newspaper writer for years. At one
time he managed the stable of David Tenny Pulsifer, who
named a race horse for him. Last year Mr. Bayard was
Steward at Brighton Bench. So ibat in all «ays he is
thoroughly equipped to fulfill the duties of his new position.

THE GREEN ESTATE mast be closed up and all
the magnificently bred young horses and broodmares on
the farm at Dublin will be sold. Among the eighteen
head that are advertised in the Breeder and Sports-
man to-day are many that with training will be able to
add further fame to the farm whereon was bred the great
champion of all stallions, Directum 2:05}. Stemwinder,
the mother of the champion, is in good health and vigor
and is in all probability in foal to the great McKinney
2:11}. Stemwinder needs no "song of praise." She
has produced a champion whose crown ha? been worn
for years. She also produced Ettetrina 2:20, and there
are three more of her get still owo,. by the Estate that
are destined for fast records. The ."j are a black mare
five years old by Diablo 2:09}, a yearling and a wean-
ling by McKinney 2:11}. There are also colts and fillies
by Chas. Derby, Steinway and Electrical (full brother to
Electrina), and mares by Piedmont, Antevolo, Elector
and others, some in foal to Nutwood Wilkes and others
to McKinney. There are four of the horses now at the
Pleasanton track where they will be trained, not for
racing, but simply to show intending purchasers that
they have speed. Two of these are full sisters, four
and five years old, by Directum and out of a Pied-
mont mare. The other two are yearlings by Mc-
Kinney, one out of Stemwinder, the other out of a
mare bred very much like this daughter of Venture.
The five year old by Directum is the fastest trotter seen
on the Pleasanton track for some time, and with very
little work has stepped a mile there in 2:23, and a
quarter in 33 seconds. The four year old has had less
work but is also very promising and has shown lots of
speed. Horses bred as these are will be much higher
next year than now, and this is the time to buy. Mr.
T. H. Green of Dublin, Alameda county, or Mr. J. E.
G'een of 509 Howard street, this city, will make prices
to purchasers on any of this stock and the prices will be
r'ght. The estate must be closed up and to do this it is

operative that the horses be sold. There are some

grand prospects among the colts and fillies and a few
grandly bred mares. A better opportunity to get some-
thing good has seldom been offered. The get of the great
stallion Directum 2:05}, are bringing tremendous prices
in the East, wherever offered. Ten of them now in training
there are said to be certain of fast records this year. The
filly Nirvana that was second to Endow in the two year
old stake at Lexington last Oc:ober is thought to be
capable of a mark of 2:10 this year as a three year old
and $15,000 has been refused for her. There is hardly
a Directum foal for sale, except the few now owned by
the Green estate. Secure them while you can, as the
sire is lost to California and in his new home in New
York is limited to very few outside mares.

A CASE that will be of interest to racing associations
all over the country was decided in Judge Daingetfield's
court in this city last Thursday. Some time ago H.
Greenbaum began the publication of a daily sheet on
which was printed a form chart of the races run at the
local race tracks the previous day, together with " tips "
and other matter that was supposed to be of value to
race goers. The California Jockey Club and The West-
ern Turf Association, having each let the privilege of
making a form chart to Horace Egbert, refused to allow
Greenbaum or his assistants to " call " the races while
within the track enclosure and on his persisting in doing
so, ruled him off and ejected him from the grounds after
he had paid his admission at the ^ates. Greenbaum
thereupon began suit against both associations for
damages. The suit against The Western Turf Associa-
tion came up for trial this week in Department 2 of the
Superior Court before Judge Daingerfield and a jury. A
great deal of evidence that was entirely irrelevant to the
case wa9 attempted to be placed before the jury and three
days were consumed in the examination of witnesses. In
his charge to the jury the Judge quoted the law which pro-
hibits the exclusion of any person from any public place
of amusement unless the person is under the influence of
liquor, boisterous or of known bad character, and the
jury thereupon returned a verdict for $3000 damages in
favor of the plaintiff. If the judgment in this case is
sustained the form chart privilege, which though bring-
ing little revenue to the association, has always been
considered a rather profitable concession to the parties
holding the same, will lose its value, and the people who
put religious faith in "official dope" will be driven to
distraction in their efforts to harmonize the different
charts that will be offered for sale.

THE SCARCITY of high class green trotters in
California at the present time should induce horse own-
ers to devote a little time and money to having their
horses trained. That there is plenty of money ready to
pay for good horses is evident to everyone who is at
all acquainted with the horse market, and the fact is
also evident than on many of the breeding farms in Cali-
fornia are to be found good looking horses that are en-
tirely undeveloped. The owner who places the best of
these in the hands of a good trainer will make a certain
profit on the investment in a few months time. Develop
for the road, and if any show the speed to warrant fur-
ther development for the track a still larger profit will
result. Raw material in the horse line is the same as
raw material in any other. It will bring a 3mall profit
if up to standard, but the person who makes the big
money is the one who places the fully developed product
on the market.

HENRY D. JEWETT, the proprietor of the cov.
ered track at Jewettville, N. Y., maintains a summer
home in Dresden, Germany, and will sail for Hamburg
early in May. With him he will take two pacing geldings
which he intends to use on the beautiful roads with
which Dresden abounds. Mr. Jewett firmly believes
that the time will come when the horsemen of the con-
tinent will appreciate the pacer fully as much as they
do the American trotter. One of the pair he will take
over is the chestnut gelding, brother of June Bug 2:10},
etc., by Almonarch, the other being a pacing gelding
that can step close to 2:20.

THE new owner of Praytell 2:09J, evidently has
great faith in the ability of the big Axtell gelding as a
sprinter. He has been matched to race at half mile
heats against Oakland Baron 2:09}. Both horses are
very fast for piece of the way and if fit when they come
together, should set a new record for the distance. Pray-
tell is also matched to go a race against the pacing mare
Maxine on June 1st. The race is to be best two in
three to wagon, for a purse of $5000 and pate receipts.
The track over which the race is to be held has not been
decided upon.

THE NORTHERN CIRCUIT of California district
fairs will make its official announcement of stakes and
purses for harness horses in these columns next week.
The associations at Chieo, Red Bluff, Willows and
Colusa will all combine in one big announcement and
the Woodland association will spread itself in a separate
advertisement. Horse owners and trainers all over this
Coast are anxiously waiting for this official notification
of stakes and conditions and we can assure them they
will not be disappointed in the programs that have been
arranged. If the other districts on the main circuit but
do as well as these smaller ones of the northern Sacra-
mento valley, there will be a circuit of harness racing in
California this year such as has not been enjoyed for a
long time. Be sure and get a copy of the Breeder
and Sportsman of next Saturday. It will interest
every horse owner in the State.

Star Pointer to Race Ajrain.

Charles Klein, the manager of Hon. W. J, White's
Two Minute Stock Farm, has all faith in the ability of
the pacing king Star Pointer to train again, and not only
train, but show good results.

"I am amused at the papers," said Mr. Klein. "Late
last season Star Pointer wrenched a tendon, and went
a bit lame in a match race. In a minute the story was
out that he was ruined for life. Why, it didn't take us
three days to get that lameness out of him after we got
him home, and in a week he could go out and make
them all look sick.

"McClaiy has said fifty times this winter that he drove
Star Pointer in 2:10 after he returned here, and when he
was not trained for a race. My watch was a half slower,
but what of that? I hope McClary was right, but in any
case a horse that is ruined for life is not likely to go a
mile in any time of that kind."

Pointer has enjoyed his indoor paddock all winter.
He is the only horse in America to have freBh laid grass
every day, and I believe that the simple little plan that
gave it to him will be adopted by all owners of valuable
horses in a short time.

The hothouse plan of providing grass for horses dur-
ing the winter months originated with Klein and a
stable hand. With an old boiler and a lew dollars
worth of pipe they inaugurated the movement, and
since that time it has been fully perfected by Mr. White.

Idolita and a Dexter Prinoe Filly.

There are 32 horses in training at Senator Jones stables
at Maplewood Farm, New Hampshire, under the care of
Thomas Marsh. Idolita 2:12, the winner of the New
England Breeders and Horse Review futurities, is the
Blickest looking horse in the stable. He looks fit to go
out and race for his life to-day. He is being given
plenty of work and seems to relish it. The other noted
campaigner of last year, Kingmond 2:09, is rough look-
ing at present. Since his sickness last winter he has
been given a complete let up and his coat is rough in
consequence. He will not be taken up for some time yet.

Next to Idolita, the smoothest looking colt in the
barn is a black three year old filly by Dexter Prince,
the noted California sire. Last season she was shipped
around the country with the rest of the campaigning
stable, as she was so very promising that Tom Marsh
wished to have her constantly under his eye.

Since last fall she has grown considerable in height
and, while not so round, has a well turned and very
racy look. She will be the star three year old of the
stable, and if no accident befalls her will be as fast as
Idolita at the same age. She bad considerable work as
a two year old, but there is not a pimple or blemish of
any kind on her and she has the best of dispositions.

Matinee Racing on the Speed-way.

Oat on the speedway in Golden Gate Park this afternoon
there will be good sport furnished those who eDJoy witness*
ing a brush on the road. Two races of half-mile heats, best
two in three, are on the card, and the fun will begin at 2
o'clock. The races are for trophies,-tbere will be no money
charged for admission and no bookmakers will be there to
cry their odds. It will be good, pure clean sport and the
probabilities are that perfect weather will lend its aid to
make the occasion altogether enjoyable.

The entries in the first race are E. Stewart's Localeer, Mr.
Cnrlev'a Prince C. and N. Uotia's Correct.

Second race — R. E. Miller's Lee Hose, L. Richardson's
Queenie and Dr. I. B. Dalziel's 8teve.

The officials will be: Judges, Fred Thompson and W. C.
Hammerton; starter, George Berry; marshal, Dr. I. B.
Dalziel. The races are under the auspices of the Golden
Gate Park Driving Association.

that there is as much, if not more, money in good horses

ing the recent storm, to think of the horse as a means of
reaching home, the horse will ever be the old reliable means
of locomotion. When the much vaunted means of transporta-
tion was impeded and its motive power was unharnessed io
the form of live wires, many horses were killed by having
these wires falling oa them or by Btepping on them. The
horse and cart able to combat nature's elements when the

Around tbe firee in the big Btables horsemen were lolliog
in comfortable arm chairs, writeB Sam Freeman in tbe New
York Telegraph, watching the falling snow, advancing pre-
dictions as to whether there would be good Bleighing to-day
or not, and talking horse. In one of theie horsy conventions
a prominent horseman, in answer to a remark made about
the Bates horses, Baid :

" No horseman ever died about whom more pleasant
things bave been said than about Charles F. Bates; certainly,
the king of Bhow ring exhibitors. At the horse shows he
was the unique character in more ways than one, but the
principal one was that every other exhibitor respected his
judgment and feared him as a competitor. He knew the
best in both horses and appointments and was always sore Io
buy the best, no matter what tbe cost. Around the phow
ring the question was always, ' Who can beat Bates? ' and it
was a bard one to answer. It is more than likely that he
won 50 per cent, of the premiumB he showed for."

" Did you ever stop to think what Charley Bates did for
the trotting horse, or trotting bred horse 7 " asked another.

Becaaee an amateur in boxing, baseball, Bculliug and
bicycling iB one who Hoe* not compete for money, the Torf,
Field and Farm and some horsemen are of the opinion that
the Bame definition should apply to the amateur driver.
The nature of the harness sport and its class of patrons does
not demand that tbe line be so tightly drawn, and for the
best interests of driving, the amateur should not be so de
lined. Tbe turf in largely supported by men of wealth and
culture. Either for health, love of the animal, or for lhe
health beneBts that cog | with driving, they campaign their
horses and their pre*- J*a on the track adds tone to a meet_
ing. They care notO/g for the money they may win, but
wheh putB them in ibe professional class. When these
owners, wbo are a credit to the turf, tire of the campaign
should they be barred from engaging in matinee races be-
cause they have driven for m iney ? If ihey should be lhe
turf would receive a serious set-back, and the end of tbe
matinee club would be in sight. The Gentlemen's Driving
Club of Cleveland that is responsible for the matinee club of
to-day, and largely for the present good times in the horse
business, is a select institution, but for its future welfare il
ruled that an amateur is one who never drove for a liveli-
hood. In other words, a man may have driven in races for
money, but as be did not adopt race driving as a business, or
accept pay for race driving, he
wou'd be eligible to drive in
the amateur races of the club.
The Road Drivers' Associa-
tioo, of New York, that expects
to give amateur races at Em-
pire City Track next season,
defiofd an amateur driver in
a similar way. Its rule is: '*A
non prjfessional driver is a man
who hae not trained horses for
a )<ving aod driven in a race
or races and received money
for the same, other than stakes
and purses." — American Sports-
man.

Geo. Y. Bollinger, President of the Santa Clara Valley
Agricultural Society, has in training his three year old colt
Boodle Bov sired by Boodle 2:12^ dam by Wapsie (dam of
Our Boy 2:12$). This colt is showing great speed.

For the Northern California Circuit.

The official advertisement will appear next week.

The races on ihe speedway this afternoon will be worth
witnessing.

Endow (2) 2:14| will not be raced this year as he has no
stake engagements.

Alma Wilton, the youngest daughter of Alma Mate:,
has been bred to Adbell 2:23.

The mare Brunolo, a daughter of Antevolo, won two
races at three miles eacn in Europe last year.

Ed Geers will race a green trotter this year that is by
Heir-at-Law, dam a thoroughbred mare by Lyttielon.

Chas. Jamison, a trainer at Butler, Pa., is working
Whips Jr. by Dexter Prince, and a filly by McKinney.

The Hartford Fulurity, which only required an entrance
fee of $1.00 each for matrons, has received 2000 entries.

Sonol 2:081, will be worked a little this spring to see if
an attempt to give her a record to bike would be justified.

Simmocolon 2:13$ by Simmons, sire of Dan Q. 2:07& and
other famous campaigners, is now located at Chillicothe,
Ohio.

Monterey 2:09J, will be put np for the high dollar at
the Cleveland sale in May. He is now in better shape than
ever in his life.

Myron McHenry purchases a few tickets on wheat, corn,
pork and other good things on^ the New York Wall street
track every day.

Alden Goldsmith, who acted as assistant trainer for bis
ancle, the late John Goldsmith, may conclude to train a
stable of horses again.

Don't neglect the Pacific Breeders Futurity. Entries for
this guaranteed stake of $3000 will close with F. W. Kelley,
22J Geary street, April 2d.

Last Chance, by Mambrino Patchen, in foal to Z_>mbro
2:11, has been named in the Review Futurity by her owner,
S. W. Lockett, of Corona.

Roy Wilkes 2:06£ has been prominent on the Chicago
speedway. He is a splendid snow horse and has beaien
about everything he has tackled.

There are probably four or five hundred trotters and pac-
ers in actual training in California at the present time, and
the number is nearer the latter than the former.

A brewery company in Crewe, England, recently paid
$2500 for four draft horseB, which gives an idea of how
horses of that description are selling across the water.

The Palo Alto bred mare, Wild Bee, sired by Piedmont
dam Wildfljwer, owned by a prominent San Francisco
attorney, has been sent to Sao Jose to be bred to Boodle 2:12£

Battlesign, a green gelding by Cecilian, is being put in
Bhapeforthe campaign this year by Charles Marvin. Battle-
sign trotted a trial mile in 2:13} last July and iB thought to
be one of the most promising of the M. and M. candidates.

The British under secretary for war informed the House
of Commons recently that the standard price paid by the
government for cavalry horses ranged from £45 to £50 ($225
to $250), and in many cases as high as $65 (,$325) has been
paid.

E. D. Jones of Woodside, San Mateo county, has bred
two good mares to Boodle 2:J2i- Oae is L^dv Dwyer by
Menlo 2:21*, dam Silver (dam of Mirio Jr. 2:13). and the
other was sired by San Diego, dam Eva Whipple by
Whippleton.

Fraek Kenny says that the fastest green trotter in the
world is at Louisville. He is in Van Meter's stable and has
gone an eighih in fifteen seconds. He has the Wilkes-
Electiooeer cross, beiog by Expedition 2:15| and cut of a
George Wilkes mare.

De Bernardi Basleb 2:16}, that was [sold at Chicago
last January for $500, will be entered through the half mile
track circuits of the Mississippi valley this year. McKinley
2:25, sold at the same time for $375, will slay at Chicago
and bs used on the road.

Bion 2:19|, which was sold at the late Fasig sale for $285,
was formerly owned by Senator Stewart, of Nevada, who once
refused $10,000 for him. Bion was bred by the late Senator
Stanford and is by General Beverley, dam Lulaneer by Elec-
tioneer. Bion is ten years old.

Tickets 2:20J, the handsome trotter belonging to Sheriff
Van De Vanter, of Seattle, that made bis record at Santa
Rosa last year, is to be sold at the Cleveland sale in May,
together with several of Mr. Van De Vantei's horses. De-
ceiver 2:15 will be offered at the same time.

Seyebal Eastern exchanges have contained the following:
"Harry Tiler says that a mile in 2:10 in the East is equal to
one in 2:08 in California." The newspaper writers have
probably reversed Mr. Titer's remarks. Our California
tracks are not worked to perfection as the Eastern tracks are.

Over 150 nimes of Ohio horsemen have been placed on
the resolution against heat belting on the trotting tracks, sb

The following are Beautiful Bills' performers, those with
records and those with trials; her sons that are sires of speed
and her daughters that are dams cf trotters. It is the most
wonderful list of the produce of one mare ever compiled :
Binda Rose (3) 2:19J, St. Bel (4) 2:24£, Bell Boy (3) 2:19*,

dams — Rosemont, dam of Sweet Rose (1) 2:25}, Montrose (3)
2:18, Mazitlan 2:26f; Aha Belle, dam of Daghestan 2:25}.

The champion stallion lives in Kentucky. An exchange
speaks of a horse there that has proveo his ability to sire
good ''saddlers " Now if Kentucky will produce a horse
that sires harness makers and wagon builders, it will estab-
lish a record that every other sUte in the Union will be
afraid to go up again3t.

CHiELES J. Lbiyitt, Jr., of New York, has broughta

$25,183 96, the amount of his claim for services rendered as
engineer and superintendent o the construction of ihe Em-

Mose Hart's gelding by Secretary, that Milo Knox took
to Chicago and sold at the Splan-Newgaes sale for $275, is
now driven with the great road horse Gunsaulus 2:14£, who
is said to be one of the handsomest horses driven on the road
in Chicago. The Secretary gelding is a perfect match for
him it is said.

Fred Ward is training a five year old daughter of Atto
Rex 2:21f at Lis Angeles that is one of the good ones at
that track. She got her first lesson in training in January
last and on February 231 stepped a mile in 2:22} without
company. Her dam is Last Chance by Mambrino Patchen
and both are the property of S. W. Lockett, of Corona.

H. W. Meek has for some time been wonderirg what had
b3Come of Miss Cricket, the daughter of Cricket 2:10 and
Direct 2:05], that was taken East in the Salisbury string and
sold, Milo Knox ran across her owner at the Chicago sale.
She is the property of A. C. Peonock, tbe well known Cleve-
land hoc :man, who uses her on the road and says she is
very fast.

If iiie Agricultural Association and the Board of Trade
will get together un the fall fair proposition, it will be pos-
sible to bold a good exhibition this year. Farmers are gen-
erally propperous, business men are doiDg well, and indications
are that there will be large crops and plenty of money in
the va'ley. The Slate appropriation U available, and all
things are favorable for holding an old time fair that will be
worth talking about. — San Jose Mercury.

When Our Jack 2:13i, by Steinway, was sold to Richard
Benson of Kansas City, this journal published the rumor
that it was the intention of his new owner to take the horse's
tail off and make a high stepper of him. An eastern paper
in republishing the item omitted Our Jack's name and let it
go out that Steinway was the horse to be so treated. Thie
was so absuid on its face that we wonder the item got beyond
its first appearance, but it lived and traveled and is still going
tbe rounds Steinway, full of years and honor, is still at
Oakwook Park stock farm, and is mated with a few of the
choicest mares each year. He is now twenty-four years old,
but is yet strong and vigorous.

A bue'r who uses a fast horse in his hus'inees is Thomas
Whalen of Chtcigo, who shaves four millionaires at their
respective residences and makes tbe rounds every morning
behind a fast pacer, as cars are too uncertain and time is
precious io his employers, P. D. Armour, S W. Allerton,
Marshall Field and N. K. Fairbank. Mr. Armour and Mr.
Field pav him $75 per month each, Mr. Allerton pays $50
anj Mr. Fairbank $35. Whalen's salary and perquisities
average $3000 a year and his daily work is done before 10
o'clock in the morning. He goes out on the drives in the
afternoon "youst like Vanderbilt."

''I haye learned something about carriages that 1 never
knew before," said Warren S. Watkins, of Northampton,
England, while chatting at the Waldorf-Astoria recently.
"I have been among your carriage people to-day and bought
one of your runabouts. I asked for some varnish so I could
give my carriages tbe finish that your best American vehicles
have, and — what do you think? — I was handed a package of
varnish that came from Londccl 'It isn't the varnish, it's
the workman,' said the dealer, and 1 expect he is right,"
continued Mr. Watkins, "for our carriage makers don't get
the high and lasting finish that yours do. I know, for I
have driven bith English and American wagons all over the
island." — N. Y. Corr. Chicago Horseman.

The breeding of trotters and pacers is in a more prosper-
ous condition than ever in ihe S-ate of New York. Here is
one of tbe reasons why this is so : "In connection with the
regular meeting of the Orange County Circuit at Goshen this
year representative breeders of Orange county will again
offer special purse events. E. H. Harriman, proprietor of
Arden Farm°, and owner of Stamboul 2.07i, John R. Gentry
2:00*, and others, will give a purse of $1000 for 2:25 trotters;
Hon. John McCartv, of Parkway Farm and owner of Joe
Patchen 2:01£, offers a puree of $1000 for 2:15 trotters; W.
A.Lawrence, proprietor of Brookview Farm, will give a
purse of $1000 for 2:20 trotters, and the Goshen Driving
Park will oflar the same amount for 2:18 or 2:20 pacers."

Joseph Gavin, one of tbe oldest horsemen in Orange
county, N. Y , died last week Mr. Gavin began breeding
trotters nearly fifty year.? ago, when he owned tbe bay mare
SuBie Roberts by New York Black Hawk, out of the noted
Capt. Roberts' mare (grandam of Lidy Bunker), that was tbe
mistress of the Bloomingdale road in her day. He bred the
well known eons of Hambletonian, Shamrock and Metro-
politan, and owned for many years Chester Chief, the sire of
Clochette 2:17£, and other fast ones. He also owned Hya-
cinthe by Volunteer, out of Dexter'sdam; Fannie Mapes, the
dam of Jerome Eddy 2:16£, and Julia Machree, the dam of
Enfield and Caester 2:27. Mr Gavin was familiar with the
breeding of nearly every well known trotter raised in Orange
county in olden times.

"Theee is something peculiar in the method of a few turf
papers," editorially remarks the American Sportsman.
"They are constantly boosting up prices and then overly
anxious to roast tbe horse that brings a big price. Only last
week an exchange spoke disparingly of Praytell, and another
questioned whether 8agwa had trotted io 2:11}. Praytell
needs no defense. The Year Book shows that he was in the
money about as often as any other horse in his class, while
as a gentleman's road horse his equal never lived. Mr.
Bonner, who epent $500,000 in road horses, said Praytell was
the best horse he ever owned. If the turf writer who thinks
so little of Praytell were given an order to buy his equal he
would spend the price Mr. McCargo recently paid for Pray-
tell, in traveling expenses looking for a horse like the big
son of Axtell, let alone buying one. As to Sagwa, he trotted
the Cleveland track in 2:10]-, and half a dozen watches were
snapped on him. The men who are paying big prices for
horses, makiog the horse business as good as it is to-day, are
deserving of more encouragement.

W. Griswold. of Los Gatos, is the proud owner of a
rheemut filly that put in an appearance at bis place March
.9ih. It's sire is Diablo 2:09£ and its dam Lizzie A., by
Blue Bull, second daco Kit Freeman (dam of Buffalo Girl
2:12$) by Tom Hal. On her breeding this filly ought to
pace to a standard record about as soon as *he is bridle wise

An Eastern turfman recently offered James F. Callaway
of Louisville, Ky., $2000 cash for four trotting yearlings.
Two are by Oakland Baron 2:09J, one a colt out of the dam
of Henry 8 Baker 2:174. the otner a colt out of Brita, siBter
of Impetuous 2:13. Tbe other two are by Bow Bells, one a
colt out of Arbeit by Sable Wilkes 2:18, the other a filly out
of Baroness Marguerite 2:l9i by Baron Wilkes. The offer
was refused.

Galettjb 2:12, Byron Erkenbrecker's mare by Judd
Wilkes, foaled on March 7th a filly by McKinney 2:1 1^.
This filly will be entered in all the stakes east and west where
she is eligible, as Mr. Erkenbrecher says she is bred to trot
fast and he believes she will do it. He will race his mare
Miss Barnabee 2:21, this year in California if there are purses
enough offered to make it an object to train her. She made
her record last year as a three year old and iB a very promis-
rjg young mare.

There is no patent on the bike sulky. The long con-
tested suit against the Frazier Company, the well known car-
riage and bicycle manufacturers of Aurora, Illinois, brought
by the Hickory Wheel Company of Newton. Mass., was
decided adverse to the wheel company by the United States
Court of Appeals on March 2d. When thefbike sulky came
out in 1892, Sterling Elliott, the well known bicycle league
man claimed to be its inventor and applied for letters of
patent which were issued to him in March, 1893. Elliott
assigned tbe patent to the Hickory Wheel Co., which is one
of Col. Pope's corporations, and they warned all others
against using it. W. S. Frazier refused to recognize the
validity of the patent and collected testimony from many of
the most prominent turfmen in the country to sustain their
claims. One of the most convincing bits of evidence, how-
ever, was the ball-bearing, pneumatic sulky in which the
trotting dog Doc made exhibitions all over the country in
1891. The original sulky was produced and introduced as
evidence before the court. Frazier & Co. are entitled to the
thanks of every horseman for their persistence in fighting
the patent, as they have saved to sulky users $50 on every
Bulky put into use.

Afghan is quite a race horse at six furlongs, but a yellow
dog at seven.

Ostler Joe pulled up very lame after his last race, and
it looks as if the black horse had seen his best days.

After experiencing a long run of luck, Charley Thorpe,
the "grand old man" of the saddle, met with a mishap at
Tanforan Wedoesoay, which will chubo f';s retirement for
some time. He bad the mount on .Nil gar in the final event,
and as the big field broke away fror the dangerous seven-
furlong post, there, occurred a general go-as-you-please
jostling match. Io the mix-up Nilgar went down. After
the race bis unfortunate rider was carried to the paddock on
a stretcher and later removed to^iie horde in town. An ex-
amination reveaied the fact that be bad suffered a broken
shoulder blade and a possibly fracture of one of his ribe, with
Beveral minor Aruises. Much regret was expressed over the
accident, as CharY'.v is a c*»neral favorite, not only with the
public but with his' -other riders, several of whom ran to
the scene of the accident after weighing in under the stand.

Tanforan Park Summaries.

With the departure of the better jockeys and the giving oi
mounts to inexperienced boys, an era of .roueh riding has set
in which causes the disqualification of some horse in nearly
every race on the card.

Jockey 8haw, who is doing the riding for Johnny
Campbell's stable, is a bad race rider; on three different
occasions last week he lost races by errors of judgment which
would have been inexcusable in the veriest novice.

VieuviAN, the half brother to Geyser, is a good colt and
in bis race on Saturday made Sardine look like a common
selling plater. Out breaking, and oat running her from the
start he was in front all the way and won pulling up in 1:26£
for the seven furlongs.

Since Mr. W. J. Spiers has taken charge of (he Baldwin
horses, tbe red and black of the Santa Anita stable has been
seen more frequently in the lead. Mr. Baldwin has quite a
fair lot of two year olds which are winning a good percentage
of their starts.

Mr. Johnson, a horse that was a fair performer at Chi-
cago last Bummer, was started in the second race on Tuesday
but was so stiff and sore that he was unable to run into tbe
money. On his class he Bhould have won easily, if fit. It
seems as if some rule should be in force which would pre-
vent horses from starting until fully ready.

Jockey Buchanan was held blameless by the Stewards
for the showing made by May W. and has been riding for the
last two days. This boy gives promise of making a good
jockey and will have a good opportunity for advancement
with Green B. Morris this summer. It is to be hoped that
he will be more careful in the future in selecting his mounts

Rtjmor says that Tod Sloan, the jockey, has purchased ten
lots in Avenue T. and Ojeanauenue, Gravesend, a short dist-
ance from the Coney Island Jockey Club's grounds, and has
contracted for the erection of a Roman villa, which is to be
his home for several months in the year. The building is to
be a mixture of the old English and Italian style and to cost
over $30,000.

Imp showed a crowd at the ChiHicolhe track one morning
last week that she is still all right She worked a half mile
in 0:49, and three quarters in 1:15|, doing it without effort.
Expert horsemen who saw her say she is pounds better than
ever before. She will be shipped with her stable mate to
Bennings on the 26tb, and her first Btart will probably be at
that track on April 3d, when the handicap is to be run.

Harry Kuhl, associate judge for (he Western Turf
Association at Tanforan Park, will in all probability be
chosen to succeed Captain J. H. Rees as presiding judge at
Hawthorne. President Filzgerald of the Chicago Jockfy
Club is favorable to Kohl's appointment, and the choice will
be made at the next meeting of the Board of Stewards.
Kuhl waB secretary of the Chicago Jockey Club last season
and acted in the stand as Captain Rees' associate. Tbe
appointment, if made, will be in the nature of a big promo-
tion for tbe young turfman. He will become the youngest
presiding judge on the turf. When Captain Rees made it
known recently that he would not return to Hawthorne,
Kuhl was immediately considered by President Fitzgerald.
Later the head of Hawthorne thought he could not spare
him as secretary and began casting about for another judge.
Men of the kind desired are not plentiful, and tbe plan a*
now considered is to find a competent man to succeed Kuhl
as secretary. Kuhl presided in the Hawthorne stand during
the time Captain Rees was away last fall settling difficulties
between the California tracks.

The win of Alas on Monday was the easiest yet seen on
the local tracks this winter. Off, none too well, little Mar-
tin at once took her to the front and opened up such an over-
whelming lead that at the head of the Btretch Bhe was fully
a hundred yards before the second horse, from there to the
finish she simply romped home. The winner is a chestnut
filly by Herald from Alasco by Alarm and was bred by E.
D. Mc8weeney who has the 8. G. Reed place near Loa
Angeles; Bhe had been workiug well at the IngleBide track
and considerable money was taken out of the betting ring by
those who had been informed about her fast work. Car-
rutbers and Shields, whose boy rode the mare, probablv
made quite a killing as they backed her heavily at odds
ranging from tens to fours.

The mile and a quarter race between Chimera, Gotobed,
Red Pirate, EL Mtdo and Lothian was one of the most
hotly contested events seen this season and the finish was of
the hair-raising order; at the head of the stretch the pro-
verbal blanket would have covered the five contestants as
they rounded the turn; here Chimera was cut off" and fell
back to last position and the leaders, Red Pirate and Go-
tobed, hooked up in a fierce drive, heads apart and
both running gamely under the whip. Nearing the finish
Henry pulled the Corrigan mare out from tbe rail and
running around her field with a tremendoae burst of speed
Chimera managed to get up in time to win by a bead. It
was a well earned victory and a very popular one as was
proven by the long continued applaase showered upon tbe
winner.

As the racing season of 1899-1900 on the Pacific Coast is
drawing to a close it seems to have been a very satisfactiry
one. It is true that this statement may seem ratber out of
line if we are supposed to believe the lurid articles which
have appeared from time to time in the columns oi the
daily papers devoted to sporting news reflecting upon the
methods employed at both tracks and charging favoritism
and other unfair dealings. But viewed from an unprejudiced
standpoint the Paci6c Coast racing will compare favorably
with the turf in the East in the matter of jockeys and
horses. The good horBes which are favorites are winning a
satisfactory percentage of their races, and the fact that tbe
poorer horses quite frequently are defeated (when false
favorites among their own kind) is by no mean- tbe un-
healthy indicator which bo maDy affect to believe. The per-
centage of winning favorites is proof that the racing is on
its merits and the present California season of racing appears
to be distinctly a benefit to the American thoroughbred.

The Crescent City Handicap was won at New Orleans last
Saturday by Prince of Veronica, owned by A- H. and D. H.
MorriB. Tbe track was lumpy and slow, with many soft
Bpote. Sidney Lucas and F. W. Brode divided favor in the
betting, though the support accorded tbe former was the best
and his price shortened from 2i to 1 to 11 to 5, while Brode's
went back from twos. The start was good and piompf.
Boland took The Conqueror to the front with a rush, and
rounding the first turn opened up a gap of a length and a
half. Erode following closely. Before the half mite was
reached he bad shot his bolt and yielded to Sidney Lucas.
Brode struggled to tbe front again in tbe next furlong, but
as they pasBed tbe three-qaarteis they were neck and neck,
Sidney Lucas gaining at every stride. Burns rode Brode
with might and main, but tbe colt was in the worst of the
going and he could never get up. McJoynt had placed
Prince of Veronica fifth all the way and kept him to the best
track. In the last sixteenth be found an opening, and,
coming through with a rush, caught Sidney Lucas, who was
tiring, and beat him out a head. Lamplighted would not try
a foot of the way.

Horses for British Columbia.

Mr. J. R. Hall, of Kamloops, B. O, accompanied by Mr.
J as Wilson, of Quilchena, B. C, has been for several weeks
past in 8an Francisco engaged in buying horses for ship.
ment to their homes. They have secured Damala, a Nor-
man draught horse, weighing 2125 lbs., one of the finest
looking individuals ever shipped from this pirt and which
was bred in Petaluma from Norman Percheron stock im-
ported from France by Measra. Fairbanks & Wilcey. A bay
pacing mare, sired by tbe great Star Pointer 1:59}, is also
included in the lot and bred as she is should prove to be a
good one. The balance of the lot is composed of thorough-
breds, the most prominent of which is Assignee, a chestnut
horse, sired by Spendthrift from Maid of Athol by Clanron,
aid; second dai" My Nannie O. (a mare imported from Eng-
land by Jas. R. Keene of New York), which traces on
through Weatherbit, Irish Birdcatcher and Whisker to
Eclipse; this mare belongs to family No. 2 under the Bruce
Lowe figure system. The sire of Assignee, Spendthrift, baa
tbe Touchstone, Whisker and Whalebone blood on the sire's
Bide, the Glencoe blood on the dam's side and is much in-
bred to Sir Ar?hy and Diomed. Assignee, during bis four
years on the turf, won the nrsjority of the races in which he
started, among others, the Preakness Stakes, the Memorial
Stakes and the Inaugural Handicap at St. Louis. 8one of
his best performances were one and one sixteenth miles in
1:47; seven and one-half furlongs in 1:35 and one mile in
1:40. Ab a two year old he ran five furlongs at Morris Park
in 0:59A with 118 lbs. up, and at the same meeting stepped
five and one-half furlonga in 1:05 with 118 lbs. in the eaddle.
Mr. Hull intends to breed Assignee to a number of mares
this season and on his breeding an', individuality he should
prove a great success as a sire of race horses.

The remaining members of the string are a two year old
filly sired by imp. The Judge from NozumVega by Norfolk
(second dam Maggie Dale, by Owen Dale and next dam by
the great Lexington), and St. Lewis a bay horse five years
old sired by St. Saviour, who also sired Gilead (winner of
the Thornton Stakes at four miles and many other good
races) and DeBracy which was by far tbe best three year old
in training in California in 1894, and going to Chicago beat
the best horses at Washington and Hawthorne Parks; among
other performances running a mile in 1:40 with 122 lbs. in
the saddle. Annie Lewis, the dam of St. Lewis, wbs a good
winner herself and sister to Floodtide. She is from the
greatest American racing family, tbe Levity, which gave to
the tutf Salvator, Luke Blackburn, Elias Lawrence, Long-
street and The Bard. Every student of American pedigrees
knows tLat anything tracing to Levity will both race and
produce well and that more famous race horses have come
from this line than any ever known in this country.

Among the exodus of American jockeys Io England this
spring the advent of Daniel Matter on Mr. P. Lorillard'a
horses is expected. He was engaged, it is said, with that
purpose when released by the late W. H. Clark last year.
The stable has heavy engagements in coming stakes on both
sides of the water, however, and bis services will probably b*
demanded on whichever side the string develops most prom-
ise for engagement* to be met.

A True Sportsman.

Dey is snow upon de meddahs, dey is snow upon de hill,
An' de little branch's watahs is all glistenin' an' still;
De win' goes roun' de cabin lak a sperrit wan'ering 'round',
An' de chillen Bhalr.es an' shivabs as dey listen to de souu'.
Dey is hick'ry in de tiabplace, whan de blaze is risin' high,
Bat de heat it meks ain't wa'min' up de gray clouda in de sky.
Now an' den I des peep outside, den I hurried to de do',
Lawd a massy on my body, how I wish it wouldn't snowl

I kin stan' de hottes' summah, I kin stan' de wettes' fall,

I kin stan' de chilly springtime in de plowland, but dat's all;

Fa' de ve'y hottes' fiah nevah tells my skin a thing,

Wen de snow commence a-flyin', an' de win' begin to sing.

Dey Is plenty wood erroun' ub, an' I chop an' tote it in,

But de thoughts dat I's a-thinkin' while I's workiu' is a sin.

I kin keep Tom downright swahin' all de time I's on de go,

Bat my hea'htis full o' cuss- wo' ds w'en I'se trampin' throde snow.

What yoa say, yoa Lishy Davis, dat you see a possum's tracks?
Look hyeah, boy, you stop yo' foolio', bring ol' Spot, an' bring de ax.
Is I col'? Go way, now, Mandy, what you think I's made of?— sho,
ff'y dia win' Isdesez gentle, an' dis ain't no kin' o' Bnow
DIb hyeah weathah's des ez healthy ez de wa'mest summah days.
All you chillen step up lively, pile on wood an' keep a blaze,
What's de use o' gettin' Bkeery case dey's snow upon de groun'?
Huh-uh, I's a reg'lar snowbird ef dey's any possum 'round.

Go on, Spot, don' be so foolish; don' yoa see de signs o' feet?
What you howlin' fu' ? Keep still, suh, cose de col' is putty Bweet;
Bat we gola' out on bus'ness, an' hit'B bus'ness o' de kin' ,
Dat mm' put a dog an' dahky in a happy frame o' min'.
Yes, you's col' ; I know it, Spotty, but you des stay close to me,
An' I'll mek yoa hot ez cotteu w'ea we Btrikes de happy tree.

At the Traps

The regular trap attractions on the Inglessde grounds to-
morrow will be the live bird sboot of the San Francisco Gun
Club and tbe monthly blue rock shoot of the Olympic Gun
Glub.

The Empire Gun Club announces a series of open-to-ail
practice shoots at bine rocks on their grounds at Alameda
Point.

At a special meeting of the Empire Gun Club held at'the
club rooms last Tuesday evening it was decided to open the
club trap shooting grounds at Alameda Point on the fourth
Sunday of each month for practice shooting, at which shoots
blue rocks will be trapped to members and visitors at one
cent per bird. This is an innovation on tbe part of the Em-
pire Gun Club which will be appreciated by trap shooters,
as it affords an opportunity for pracice shootiog at small ex-
pense. The 6ret practice shoot will be held to-morrow.
Tbe regular program shoots of the club will be .held on the
second Sunday of each month.

The facilities afforded at Ingleside for live bird shooting
are taken advantage of daily by sportsmen. Last Sunday
about ten dozen pigeons were disposed of in practice shoot-
iog. The results in several pools were the following:

In several twentv-five bird races, the following shooters
scored: C, C. Nauman, 23. 24, 22, 22, 22. A. J. Webb, 23,
26, 23. Ed Funcke, 24, 18, 22, 22, 22. Jackson, 19, 18,
20, 19.

The shoot waa under the management of Tom " Colt "
Lewis and was successfully conducted. The attendance of
shooters and visitors was numerous during the day. About
forty-five hundred targets were used in the regular club
events and practice shooting.

The program for 1900 unoounced by tbe Union Gun Club
embraces six blue rock shoots at Ingleside, each taking place
on the first Sunday of the month. The card is as follows:
Opening event for the day being a ten bird warm-up, high
guns, entrance to be named by tbe Captain. Club match,
twenty-five targets. $8 will be divided among four classes,
40, 30, 20 and 10 per cent. (20 breaks or over will constitute
first olase; 16 to 19 breaks, inclusive, second class; 12 to 15

The Lincoln Gun Club shoot last Sunday at Alameda
Junction waB not so well attended as is usual when this
popular shootiog club operates the traps. Possibly the fact
that the future shoots for this season will take place at Ingle,
side had something to do with the absence of a number of
shotgun experts. The day was not overly favorable for the
smashing of blue rocks as wil 1 be seen by looking over tbe
scores. Four events were on the card, in but two of which
clean scores were made. A. J, Webb in a fifteen target raoe
and five shooters in the ten bird event warmed up to busi-

ness and powdered mud saucers in proper style. The scores
made during the day were the following:

Dr, A. M. Barker will be among the shooters of live
pigeons to-morrow at Ingleside. The "Duke of Heideiburg"
for this occasion will make the journey from the Garden
City mounted on the hurricane deck of an automobile.

A number of members of the Petaluma Sportsmen's Club
who find sport in rifle shooting will organize a rifle club and
hold monthly matches with other clubs. Petaluma boasts of
a number of skillful marksmen among her sporting con-
tingent.

Trap shootiog has a number of earnest adherents among
the Livermore sportsmen. Recently the Livermore Gun
Club was organized with the following members: H. W.
Morrill, F. Mally, M Rose, Wallie Thomas, J. H. Dutcher,
W. H. Reed, J. A. Marrs, A. B. Arnold, F. L Sangmaster

The Olympic Gun Club "High Jinks " last Saturday
night was a great success in every feature. The program
arranged by the entainment committee being a first class one.
The "supplementary jinks" under the management of Joe
Sweeney, Harry HoBmer and Johnny Coleman, carried out
after th- regular performance was over, was full of original
features and thoroughly etjoyed by those who waited.

Santa Clara county has fallen in line with Marin county
by the adoption of an ordinance aimed at the practice of
chasing deer with houoJs which, it is claimed, is quite the
rage on the big cattle reservations near Gilroy. Toe ordi-
nance prohibits the practice entirely, and provides a penalty
of a fine of $100 or 90 days in Jul for each offense. The
Santa Clara SporlBmens' Protective organization were instru-
mental in having the law passed and will hire special war-
dens to keep a watch for offenders.

The Willows Gun Club was organized in Willows this
week, starting under happy auspices with a membership of
siitv sportsmen. William Winters was chosen President,
C. D. Howell, Vice-President; Frank Burgi, Secretary-
Treasurer and Harry Porter, Captain. The club will encour-
age practice with shot gun, rifla and pistol. A trap shoot-
ing and tournament program will Bhortly be announce .
The club should be popular and successful. Willows is
credited with having some crack shots among her citizens.

Among the cracks at the Grand American Handicap
tournament next month near New York city will be seen
Jack Fanning and Clarence Nauman. Fanning has been
East for Bometime and has earned a well deserved reputation
among the shooting fraternity as a skilled manipulator of
the shot gun. Nauman attended the Great American Handi-
cap last year, creating a most favorable impression and elicit-
ing much praise for his clever work at the traps. The Coast
reputation for "high guoB" is undoubtedly in excellent keep-
ing, as we are sure will be Been when the returns are in.

The Sacramento Fish and Game Protective Association
held a well attended monthly meeting on March 8th.
Messrs. Hughes and Berkey were elected delegates to the
State Game Protective Convention. Messrs. Mack and Flor
were selected sa alternates. The President appointed stand-
ing committees as follows : Executive — C. W. Baker, F. L.
Atkinson, L. Morrison, George Wittenbrock, Ed Van
Alstyne. Legislative— T- H. Berkev, Charles E. Mack,
George A. Byron, F. M. Newbert, C. H. Westphal. Mem-
bership—George Neale, H. L. Stevens, W. H. Smith,
Eugene Cody.

One is so accustomed to the word pictures of the Boer taking
his rifle and going out on to the veldt to .provide dinner for
his wife and family that it will probably come as a surprise
to most people when they learn that there are regular game
laws in the Transvaal. The shooting season for small birds
extends from January 15th to August 15th in each year; for
antelopes, zebras, rhinoceros, giraffe and some other big
game, from February 1st to September 15th, Neither the
elephant nor the hippopotamus may be Bhot at all. A license
to Bhoot ostriches, rhinoceros, giraffe, etc., may be obtained
for the sum of £10.

Last year Paul Kellar of the E. T. Allen Co., offered a
prize in the shape of a fine sporting rifle, which was to be
awarded to the Humboldt county Bportsmao who during the
■eason of 1899-1900 bagged in that county the largest wild
duok. Shortly after the Beason closed Mr. Allen received a
communication from Messrs. Rubs, Early and Williimson,
leading merchants of Ferndale, to the effect that C. W.
Miner, of that town, had Bhot and killed in the Centerville
marsh a canvaaback duck weighing two pounds, thirteen and
three-quarter ounces, and that the bird was the largest bag-
ged during the Beason. Mr. Miaer's affidavit, witnessed by
S. C. Hart of the Ferndale Enterprise and attested by Notary
James Smith was also forwarded. Should no other claimant
appear to dispute Mr. Miner's claim he will receive a rifle
in accordance with the offer made last year.

The tens of thousands of people of New York city and
vicinity who lately have crowded into the Madison Square
Garden to the Sportsmen's Show that was going on there
have borne eloquent testimony to the new grip with which
outdoor sports have taken hold of folks Nobody goes be-
cause it is the fashion to go, or to see the fashion that has
cone there. The crowds waste no time hunting for people
notable in society as at horse shows and dog shows. Few are
attracted by the marksmanship contests, or the swimming
races or the water polo games alone or the rather puerile
demonstration of a canvas-clad hunter shooting at dead ducks
with blank cartridges which took place in the garden every
night. People go because the things to be seen, from the
fish hatcheries to the Indian encampments, in some degree
or other pertain to outdoor life, in which they have a gen-
uine Interest.

The exhibition this year has been more successful, from
the gatekeeper's point of view, than that of last year. Be-
fore last year the sportsmen's shows were little more than
trade shows, frequented only by manufacturers of sporting
goods, retail dealers and a few fanatics who love a gun or
rod for its construction and its finish rather than for its value
for the field.

E^ery day found the Madison Square Garden filled with a
greater crowd than could move about it in comfort, the faces
each day being different from the faces of the day before.
The outdoor life has taken hold on the habits of the thou-
sands and on the imaginations of the tens of thousands.

Eight thousand persons, the largest crowd since the show
opened, witnessed the close of the Sportsmen's show at Mad-
ison Square Garden, New York, last Saturday night. The
association championship for shooting was carried ofl by W.
B. Crosby. Isaac Tallman, a New York amateur, won
second prze and Jack Fanning third. Crosby also won the
prize for the best general average.

Twenty-five shooters who made the best scores during the
show shot in the Goal race Saturday. Crosby and Tallman
were tied at 70, but Crosby then made twenty-6ve straight,
while Tallman missed one. Crosby broke 95 out of 100,
Tallman 94 and Fanning and G S. McAlpin 93 each. Fan-
ning won in a shoot-cff. Fanning won in the continuous
match with the record score of 175 straight, Crosby was
second with 97*

hensible methods is a mere drop in the bucket compared
with the money disbursed along the river by visiting anglers
every season. The anglerB resident in the cities along the
river and near by are not to be oveilooked either, they are
numerous and are also ardent sportsmen who spend many
dollars with their local merchants. In view of the commer-
cial value, at least, of a due observation of the law and pro-
tection for fish in the Truckee it seems that a practice so
short-sighted could hardly be countenanced if the officers
would act intelligently in the matter.

The Trout Brook.

Under the willow's twisted root,
With hollow murmur with sudden shoot
Thro' shady thicket and grassy nook,
Fioweth toe running brook ;
Now in shadowy gloom it runB,
Where never sbine the summer suns;

Now it leaps into light igain,
Singing ever a joyous strain :
Rinpling, twinkling, glittering ever,
Down to the brimming river.

Now in a calm lagoon it sleeps,
Lazily, drowsily on it creeps,

Scarcely seen to flow ;
There the water litliea float,
Ea'h oue like a silver boat,

There the cresseB grow ;
By the water on mossy s one
Or slippery log, with weeds o'ergrown.

The spotted turtles lie,
Or sudden slip in the pool of glass,
Affrighted when the cattle pass.

Or steps the intruder by.

Yet best I love the noisy stream

When it bursts with cheerful laugh and gleam

Into open land, beneath the beam

Of bright, unclouded day;
Twinkling, glimmeriug in the sun,
As if rejoicing its race to run

On its merry way;
Over the saods oi golden glow.
Over the pebbles white aB snow,

It tumbles and it glides.

There swim the perch and the dusky bream,
The speckled trout like meteors gleam.
Shooting across the limpid stream,

Flashing their purple tides;
And there the angler comes to play
With silken line the lurkiug prey,
The school-* hild hither hastes to glean
The water cresses crisp and green.
Or comes the bard to ponder o'er
The tranquil beauties of the shore.

—Isaac McLellan.

The annual exodus of anglers will commence next week,
the main body starting away on Saturday. The streams that
are available to local anglers to the north and south of this
city are reported to be in excellent condition, the prospects
for pleasant weather until the 1st are eocouraging. In most
of the Coast streams durirjg the recent rains the steelhead
ascended in numbers, these were followed by schools of
young fish ranging from five to fifteen inches in length.

Tributary to the California Northwestern Railway system
in the counties of Marin, Sonoma, Lake, Napa and Mendo-
cino can be found some 300 miles of good trout streams.
These have been amply stocked with fry from the Company's
hatchery at Ukiah, which is in charge of the veteran fl h-
culturist Col. La Motte. These streams have also been
stocked by fry obtained from the State Fish Commission.
The fish obtained from the Ukiah hatchery and placed in
the water a year ago have already matured and grown to
to an acceptable size for the angler, these fry obtaining their
growth in one season and mu:b. sooner than those taken from
the colder waters of the McCloud. Advices from this section
are to the effact that the streams are now in better condition
for the angler than they have been for several years past.
The towns along the line of road boast of comfortable hotels
and efficient livery accommodations. Away frtm the line of
railway the angler can find good stopping places at almost any
of the many ranch houses which are nearly always located
within easy reach of fishing water. Of the numerous streams
in that region, the Pieta, an ideal mountain stream which is
said to be in fine shape now, has the reputation of being one
of the best early streams.

The Paper Mill has had a good run of fish from the sea
and with i's tributaries in Marin connty ie reckoned upon as
available for many good days' sport.

The streams in Santa Clara valley are also reported to be in
excellent condi ion. The Pescadero and 8an Gregorio will
no donbt be visited by a host of anglers from San Mateo,
Redwood and San Jose. In Santa Crnz county, the San Lor-
enzo and its tributaries including Boulder Creek, another
good early stream, are reported to be in good condition and
full of fish as is also the 8rquel.

In most of our streams fly-fishing, as a rule, is not produc-
tive of the best results in April. The spinner and spoon
proving to be the most killing lures.

As the fishing situation presents itself just now, anglers are
congratulating each other on the happy outlook for "Angler's
Bay."

The Nevada Journal of the 15th inst. has the following:
"Despite the intimation given the officers a few days ago in
the Journal, there is still plenty of illegal fishing in the
Truckee. Local sportsmen are getting hot in the collar at
the somnolence of the "cops" and kick vigorously. One dis-
ciple of Walton said yesterday that if no arrests were made
he would do the necessary detective work himself. Truckee
river trout are exposed for sale daily and the place where
thev are caught is in a trap not many miles from the electric
light dam. Pot fishermen are also reaping a harvest at the
reduction works."

This state of afhirs is to be deprecated. The Truckee is
one of the grandest trout fishing streams on the coast, and it
will indeed be a pity if the apathy of the Reno officials will
allow the spoliation of the stream bv the illegal and unsports-
manlike work of a few poachers and market fishermen. The

The Florida waters are strikingly rich in fish life, and the
United States Fish Commission has just published a check
list in small compass, which will be interesting to anglers
everywhere.

Six different kinds of sharks have been taken and identi-
fied. Among them are the curious nurse shark, the swift and
ravenous mackerel shark, the ugly and Btrange angel shark,
and the huge hammerhead.

There are thirteen varieties of rays, including everything
from the common barndoor skate to the electric ray, and the
immense butterfly ray. There are no fewer than six varieties
of the terrible sling ray, locally known as the Btingarees, and
feared as being fatally venomous. Straoge rays are the eagle
rays, and stranger still are the monstrous devilfish, more
popularly known as sea devils, thus being distinguished from
the octopuB and the squid, which are called devilfish all over
the world.

There are three varieties of garfish, the long-nosed gar-
pike, the short-nosed gar, and the alligator gar, which is
feared by fishermen as much or more than a shark.

Eleven species of catfish are listed, ranging from the bine
cat of 100 pounds and more to the tiny fellows of one-
quarter of a pound.

Twenty-three kinds of eels are to be found in the inland
and oceanic waters of Florida. There are three varieties of
fierce and serpent-like morays. There are two varieties of
tarpon, and twenty-five varieties of the reBt of the herring
family.

Among the more curious fishes that are not known gener-
ally are the lizard fish, the viper fish, the snake eels, the
needle, and the hound fish, the trumpet and the cornet fish,
pipe fish and sea horses, there being four varieties of the
latter; the savage varracudas, the cutlass fishes, sawfish,
amper jacks, moon fish, the triple tails, the rudder fish,
croakers, parrot fish, lady fish, angel fish, trigger, file and
trunk fish, pufiers or blow fish, of which there are twelve
varieties; the shark suckers, and other remora fishes which
have a flit disk like the sole of a rubber shoe on top of their
heads, with which they attach themselves by suction to a
ehark or anything else; the star gazers, which have eyes that
are turned upward at so sharp an angle that they have a ludi-
crously saLctimonioUB aspect; the hideous bat fishes, which
look as if they had escaped from the inferno; and, for beauty,
the lovely little bride fish, also kncrwn as the foureye fish,
because it has a deep velvety black spot just behind the tail
which looks like a glowing eye. — Atlanta Constitution.

Our Petalama correspondent has the following to say con-
cerning striped bass in Petaluma creek: "Local sportsmen
are consderably wrought up over the illegal catching and
shipping of undersized striped baes. Last week Csptain
Bittencourt of the schooner Ssn Rafael seized a Bmall mesh
seine on his way up the creek from San Francisco. The
seine was picked up by the San Rafael's rudder and was
heavily weighted with bass weighing from a half pound np.
Nearly all the fish were under legal weight. A few daya
later five hundred pounds of small bass, shipped foom here
to San Francisco on the steamer Gold, were seized in San
Francisco by a deputy fish commissioner. The creek is filled
with striped bass and rare sport is anticipated if the illegal
seining can be stoppsd."

The Victoria Colonist ot the 16th inst. notices the opening
of the season for the northern anglers as follows: "Daylight
this morning Baw the departure of numerous fishing parties
for Prospect, Kemp, Sooke and other nearby lakes which
abound with trout. The big exodus will take place to-
morrow afternoon, when the disciples of Izaak Walton will
hie themselves to the lakes and streams along the line of the
£. & N. railway. 8hawnigan lake is, as usual, the most
popular place for the early fishermen who indulge in ground
fishing. On Sunday a special train will leave forShawnigan
at 7 in the morning, and as the last train does not leave the
lake until 5 in the evening, there is lots of time to have
good sport."

A. Palsdini and one of his men were arrested during the
week for having small striped bass in their possession. A
consignment of over 1000 small fish was seized by the Fish
Commissioners last week, but the packages bad not been
opened and Paladini set up the defense that he did not know
that they were smaller than the law allowed. In the present
instance, however, the fish were being cleaned and he was
caught red handed as it were.

This afternoon and to-morrow morning will be devoted to
fly casting by members of the San Francisco Fly-Casting
Club. If the enthusiasm shown by the rod wielders at the
previous Stow lake gatherings is any indication, there will
undoubtedly be a goodly attendance of anglerB who will
limber up for work on their various favorite trout streams
on the first of Apiil, when the season for tribulation and

baskets opens for trout.

Striped bass anglers have been having moderate success a1
Port Costa and Selbys. The best catches, however, have
been made in Petaluma creek; Al Summerfield ebowed three
five pound fish on Thursday that he hooked in the creek.
The net fishermen have been setting out many small mesh
nelson the flits in San Pablo bay lately and have caugh.
great quantities of bass, small ones being in the majority

In Colorado there is a far greater demand for trout fry
than the State Game Commissioner can supply- But 5,000,-
000 fry being available for distribution this iesr. Of this
number 3,000,000 will come from the State hatcheries and
William Kirkpatrick and William RadclrLe have each

donated 1,000,000.

Lady Montez, from a prominent Eastern breeder.

Mrs. W. B. Hooper will bench her pair of Scotch deer-
hounds. Competition in this breed promises to be keener
than for several years pset. The valne of this breed is be-
coming generally recognized, these dogs being particularly
adapted for work in this State and doing remarkably well in
our climate.

Emil Pferdner, of Victoria, will Bhow a handsome young
St. riernard aog, about sixteen months old, and by Alta
Millo out of Laura Alton He U said to be "a good one."
Another Alta Millo dog out of Q.jeen of Joaquin and owned
by Dr. Clarke will be seen making a strong bid for ribbons at
the coming bench show.

The Bench Show Committee of the San Francisco Eenne
Club held a meetiog on Wednesday evening. Much im-
portant detail work was transacted. The Premium List is
about completed and will be issued early next week. An
office has been opened at No. 238 Montgomeav street. Mr.
H. D. Laidlaw is in charge at present. David Sinclair will
preside as chief clerk on the 1st of April. The outlook for
a record show is more than encouraging.

A new Btar among the fox terrier talent made his appear-
ance in this city last Tuesday. Mr. N. H. Hickman, an
enthnsiastic and energetic lover of the game little terrier
recently purchased from L. & W. Rutherford of Nerf Jersey,
a young dog who will undoubtedly be of much benefit to the
breed out here. Warren Sceptic No 55,516, by the famous
Claudian (winner of the Stud Dog Stakes, 1898 and 1899)
out of Warren Spray (Warren Ripper — Ch. Warren Sen-
tence) is the newcomer, he is a handsome, well formed
youogiier now two years old, he has a black and tan head
and L.>l3ck patches on the body and is very intelligent in
erpre^ioo. He made his first bow wow from the bench at
New York in '98, winning third in puppies against a hot
class, he was beaten by Aldon Artist and Trianon Pirate.
In Chicago recently he was placed V. H. C. in novice, limit
and open, giving way to Daddy, Vibo and Veracity. Wawa-
set Actor in open did not do better than three letters. Sceptic
was also benched in Kansas City, with what results we have
not heard to date. He will be seen at the May Bhow.

The St. Bernard Club of California have a reputation to
sustain among the specialty clubs when a bench show is on,
that they are alive to tbe occasion will be seen by the follow-
ing elegant list of specials oflered for the entries by club
members: For best St. Bernard dog, a silver cup. For best

E. G. Ackerman, en route to Kobe, Japan, from New
York, while in this city purchased from H. J. Bross a prom-
ising seven months' old bull terrier dog puppy by Antarus —
Daisy Harper. Mr. Ackerman ib quite a lover of this breed
and will establish a kennel at Kobe for the purpose of intro-
ducing and making the breed popular in Japan, where tbe
bull terrier is comparatively unknown. Mr. Ackerman is
connected with the Standard Oil Company.

The tan spots above the eyes of some dogs, are regarded by
some naturalists as an instance of "natural selection," and as
having developed since the dog was begun to be domesticated.
The marks are believed to belong to tbe curious class of pro-
tected mimicries with which nature has endowed some
creatures. What is supposed is that when the dog was asleep
the lighter marks on the bnwa made it appear as if he was
lying with his eyes wide open, and an enemy which might
have attacked him when asleep was scared from doing so.
The reason why the markings are believed to have been of
compaiatively recent development, is that they are never seen
on wild dogs.

A certain bull terrier owner residing in this city has a dog
that is a "holy terror" on cats whenever he has the oppor-
tunity. We are glad to mention that this propensity of the
dog has been fostered recently to the detriment of a number
of stray felineB who make Golden Gate Park their home and
feed on the quail and other birds they catch and kill. It
would not be such a very bad idea if permission were given
by the Park Commissioners to the owners of bull terriers
and fox terriers to allow dow and then a hunt of the ever-
increasing number of these marauding cats which have
strayed into the Park and settled down to the steady voca-
tion of propagating their species and decimating the quail,
which have been numerous and tame and are one of the
many beautiful features of the people's pleasure grounds.
It is true tbe Park police shoot the 'varmints' whenever pos-
sible, but this kind of work, the destruction of vermin, is con-
genial and natural to the terrier and in the present case
suggested would be productive of much benefit.

Dr. W. F. McNutt has just received from Bakersfield two
splendid specimens of the Scotch deerhound; they will be
exhibited at the coming show.

A. Plea for the Bull Terrier.

Before the fox terrier became the popular idol he is, and
has been for a quarter of a century, the bull terrier was in
many localities the favorite dog for general purposes, i. e , as
a faithful companion and as the most suitable animal for
killing rats and other vermin. It was not necessary for bim
to be pure white; in fact, his color was oftener brindle and
white, or all brindle, red, fawn, or fawn and white, or white
with patches of either hue on his bead or elsewhere. Mostly
his ears were badly cut if they were cut at all, but he was
always a game, good, sensible dog, and hence his popularity.
The white ones usually seen at the shows were much more
confined in their locale, and not being allowed to run at
large and have the liberty their more fortunate and more
plebeian cousins were given, became less adaptable as com-
panions, and were more inclined to fight with a neighbor
than they were to make friends with him.

Unfortunately, the bull terrier as a general dog has had
his position occupied by sundry varieties of the terrier, which
are now having their day, and he is in sore need of friends,
able to restore him to his former high position as a member
of the canine race. As a show dog he received a terrible
blow when the Kennel Club passed their rule which eventu-
ally prevented bis being cropped, a step it was forced into by
the prosecution and conviction of Robert Carling and his
wife for torturing and ill-treating a d >g by cutting its ears.
Although this occurred five years ago, owners of bull terriers
have not grown out of its effects, and they regard the bull
terrier with ears uncut as an animal lacking thesmirtnsss in
appearance that he had when his aural appendages were
shorn and manipulated until they stood erect "like darts."
Perhaps outside exhibition circles the retrogression was
brought about by his prooeness for combativeness, and cer-
tainly the best fighting dogs of the day were always hull
terriers, as they are even now, and the bs-st rat killers like-
wise. There may be seen in the window of a sporting paper
in Fleet street a celebrated rat killing dog, a brindled bull
terrier, which even "stuffed" and in a case with dead and
dying rats surrounding him, looks like the excellent old
stamp of dog which be undoubtedly was, and which is bo
difficult to find at the present time. Almost tbe first dog the
writer ever possessed was a bull terrier, a red fawn dog with
a dark muxzle, Sam by name, with a pedigree which could
go no further back than sire and dam, and who was bought
as the pick of a litter at a month old for the moderate price
of a couple of shillings. He never sickened from distemper
nor had a day's illneBS daring his (career. He grew up to
about 30 pounds in weight and, excepting his qaarrelsome
nature with some other dogs, not with al>, was probably as
useful a terrier and as faithful a companion as man or youth
ever had. A fine swimmer, a skilled rat hunter, a capital
'dog after rabbits, either hunting them or coursing, he re-
trieved nicely, and had assisted in many a single-wicket
cricket match, in which Sam acted as fielder. The houBe
cats were allowed to kitten in his kennel, and he possessed
all tbe essentials in the way of amiability with strangers
and cleanliness in doors which go to make a perfect house
dog. Unfortunately he bad, in the little town in which he
dwelt, three or four enemies of bis own race, and his repeated
combats with them made him dangerous and expeosi?e in his
old age, and so poor Sam was banished to a larger place,
where he missed the green fields and the rambles by
the river Bide, and eo pined and died rn a twelve-month.
There were a number of similar bull terriers in the North

of England at that time, but their race is now extinct.
All had characters of their own, mostly good; one waB speedy
enough to rco in rabbit coursing matches, othera excelled as
swimmerF, and one even went so far out of his UBual range
as to develop into an excellent poacher's dog, and could
drive hares and rabbits into tbe nete at nigbt as well as any
lurcher. There are many old people living who still say
that in the survival of the fox and other modern terriers the
fittest does not remain.

Most uf the bull terriers which old Jim Hinks, by the aid
of the late Joe Walker, James Roocroft, and others popular-
ized in the early days of shows were, of course, white dogs,
and until they had been before the public for some time a
"marked" or "patched" dog would not be looked at. They
were game, hardy creatures, but, as already stated, being
kept up in a great measure, had not the same opportunities
of becoming good companions, as was the case with com-
moner country bull terriers. Still that they were all there,
is in evidence from what occurred during one of the early
London shows, about 1862 Hinks had won in the bull
terrier class with ,what the London breeders called "long-
faced" dogs, which they said were soft and useless either for
fighting or ratting purposes. 8trong words, instead of bring-
ing blows, which so often follow a qaarrel about dogs re-
salted in a match, which was for £5 and a case of champagne.
Pass, the bitch in question, was allowed out of the show at
night, and taken to a well-known East End rendezvous, was
put into a pit againBt one of the "short faced" patched ter-
riers. The result was never in doubt, and in half an hour
the Birmingham Pass killed her opponent. Another dog
whic i was great at fighting, and, moreover, in his younger
days moBt ferocious, was the well known dog Victor, who
was found dead in his box on arrival at one of the London
ehowB. Still, when Victor went into the country to live and
was allowed to run about, his ferocity vanished; he was as
quiet as an ordinary hojse dog, and being owned by a publi-
can, developed a taste for strong liquors. He enjoyed his
pint of ale as much as the confirmed toper did his quart, and
after it was partaken of, Victor, whose head was evidently
not strong, was wont to Bleep off his .debauch and awaken
thirstier than ever. Then there was another bull terrier, a
great prize winner, which, it was Btated, had killed a post-
man; but as Bach a catastrophe coald not have been kept out
of the public press, and to my knowledge it never appeared
in print, the story must be taken cam grano salis; such a tale
waB certainly not likely to popularize any breed of dog, and
why people boasted of the thing passes comprehension. The
late Tom Picke't, of Newcastle, who owned Beveral of the
best Bedlington terriers ever benched, and was known to all
rowing men of his day, had a useful bull terrier called
Wallace. This was, again, a most companionable and
amiable dog, all white and a prize winner at the smaller
shows. His forte was swimming, and on one occasion lie
came second in such a contest which took place on the Tyne
about twenty-six years ago. I have in my album the por-
trait of a deceased friend with his bull terrier sitting at his
feet. Here was another dog which as a companion could not
be excelled; he actually reveled in the water, would leap off
any bridge of ordinary height, and, moreover, seemed so in-
sensible to pain that he required no coaxing when desired to
extinguish a scrap of lighted paper, match, or piece of Aim-
ing slick. Thirty years Bince one could do many things
even ia public which would not be allowed nowadays. It
perhaps may be longer than that ago, but one of the game
keeperB with whom I was acquainted had trapped a fine otter
weighing something like 25 pounds. It was not injured, and
bo we decided to try by its means to find out how far oar ter-
riers would stand punishment. The poor creature was al-
lowed liberty in a small pond of about half an acre in extent,
deep all ronnd the sides, with an improvised island in the
middle. One after another were the terriers of the district
set on to their game, which most of them tackled well
enough; but, after something like two hours' work all cried
content excepting an old fawn-colored bull terrier bitch
named Gyp, belonging to the late Mr. Richard Chorley,
a well known admirer of terriers of all kinds. Gyp, though
bitten through and through, would have fought to the bitter
end. The otter was no worse, but there was acarcely a ter-
rier in the town which was not limping and sore for a fort-
night afterward.

These few instances, and there are many more v. hich have
come under my own personal knowledge, or, as in the case
of Hinks' bitch, been told me by the principals, prove the
good qualities of the bull terrier, be he aristocrat or plebeian,
and I do not wonder at regrets being expressed by his few
admirers at the lowly position he now holds as compared
with that occupied by Airdale, fox, Irish or Welsh terriers.
That he is inferior to any of them as a satisfactory guardian
and companion I very much doubt. He excels in gam en ess,
is equally or even more cleanly than most of them, and if
the dogs whose merits I have told might be considered too
big, there are yet the smaller sized bull terriers to fall back
npon. It does not require an old man to remember the
charming little dog3 under 16 lbs. weight Mr. 8. E Shirley
used to exhibit, and although the best of them are now lost,
there is still material in London and elsewhere to reproduce
the variety in all its excellence. The once extinct Irish
wolfhound has been resuscitated, and he is now to be found
in ereater numbers and of greater excellence than at any
period of his existence, and if the several bull terrier clubs
are of any use at all they ought to be able to do to the dog
they look after what one club and one man, Capt. Graham,
have effected with regard to the national dog of Ireland. —

Pleasanton Pickups.

James Madison 2:17 3-4.

Northwest Horse News.

Pleasanton, Cal., March 27, 1900.
The beautiful weather has caused all the trainers to begin
"moving them up" a little faster and fast quarters are
numerous on workout days. There were a number of visit-
ors at the track this week, among them Mr. A. G. Gurnett,
of the Sulphur Spring Stock Farm, who will probably send
his trainer Al McDonald over here soon with several head of
good ones from the farm where Who Is It 2:10J, was bred.

Joseph Thayer, the great Kentucky trainer, was here Satur-
day and expressed himself as charmed with Pleasanton, the
track, the stalls and the horses.

J. Rock and Bob Bonner were here Sunday admiring the
displays of speed at the track.

David Young and F. D. Cobb, of Stockton, came down
Monday and the former has sent two youngsters by Mc_
Kinney to Ed Lafferty to be trained. By the way, Mr,
Lafferty is getting together an excellent string of horses and
though he has little to say, he will be heard from in the
races this summer.

The two Direct colts that Bert WebBter is training fur
Chas. Griffith and which have been entered in some of the
big Eastern events are showing wonderfully well. The one
out of Bon Bon was given a slow mile in 2:28 Saturday and
came the last eighth so handily in 15 seconds that T. E.
Keating immediately cflered Mr. Griffith $10,000 for him
but the cffer was declined. This is the same colt that paced
a half here at the track in 1:02£ last year as a three year old,
and for which Mr. Keating offered $5000 several months ago.
The Directs are certainly a high class lot of colts, and this is
the second one which could have been sold for that price this
year. Mr. Griffith's other Direct, which is out of a Nut-
wood mare, worked a mile Saturday in 2:16 and did it easily.
Direct is getting a very fine lot of mares, among them Maria
P. 2:15J by Dexter Prince, belonging to Mr. Cobb of Stockton,
a handsome mare by Alcantara, tbe property of David Youog,
Juliet D. 2:13£ by McKinney, the dam of Athadon 2:10,
Hszsl H. 2:12, Bon Bon 2:26 by Simmons and many others,
L. C. Crellin thinks the two weeks' old black colt by
Searchlight 2:03} out of Jacobina by Decorator, is about the
prettiest thing in the county. Jacobina has been bred to
Klatawah 2:0o£ this year.

Mr. H. H. Dunlap is gradually giving King Cadenza faster
work and gave him a heat in 2:23 and repeated in 2:20 1.-st
Saturday. King Cadenza was formerly a very hard horse to
keep in flesh, but under Mr. Dunlap's care he is now round
and rugged looking and they think up here capable of 2:12
at least.

It is a common thing to see twenty or thirty horses on the
track at one time on workout days and it has the appearance
of a merry go round at a country fair.

Pierce Bros., of Santa Rosa, Bent eight fine mares here last
week to be bred to McKinney 2:11}, and one of them, Car-
lotta Wilkes, had an eight day old by Inferno at foot that
was such a "natural born pacer" as to excite the wonder-
ment of all who looked at him as he followed his dam
through town.

Clipper 2:09| is working like "the real thing" and paced
a mile in 2:234, last quarter in 32 seconds and last eighth
in 15;- seconds Saturday. Mr. Durfee thinks 2:05 will non-
stop this fellow and he certainly is a very fast horse.

J. M. Alviso gave Key del Diablo a mile in 2:24 Saturday
and one in 2:22 Tuesday following. Alviso says " I'll bea-
2:20 with him in ten days."

Mr. Corley of San Francisco, owner [of (Prince C, waB a*1
the track today and engaged three stalls. He has three
very promising colts, one a Diablo.

There have been a number of sales here recently, one pair
of horses changing hands at $600. E. E. Hall made the sale-
Don Derby, the full brother to Diablo, worked a mile in
2:28 this week, last quarter in 33+ seconds.

Dr. Powell Reeves of Spokane, telegraphed Wm. Murray
Tuesday that be had sold his four [year old Diablo filly for
$2000.

Geo. Davis is working Key Direct and tbe horse is look.
ing better than ever. He worked a mile last year in 2:14
and his owner believes him a better horse now than he was
then. He has certairly improved in looks and is one of the
handsome ones at the track.

Mr. Sutherland's new stalls which he is building just back
of the Rose Hotel are very nearly completed.

Princess Derby in Millard Sanders' string worked a mile
Saturday and the laBt quarter was made in 31 A seconds — a
2:06 gait. Mr. Sauders thinks she will be aB fast or faster
than her foil sister Derby Princess 2:08}. He stepped
Rubato a half in 1:08A, Tuesday, which is tbe best half
stepped by a three yea> old thJB year. Mr. Sanderi
drove the three year old Diablo filly belonging to Judge
Green a quarter in 361 seconds.

Bon Bon 2:26 by Simmons has foaled a colt by Steioway,
A four year old filly by Direct was worked a mile here
to-day in 2:17}, the last quarter in 32$ seconds. She is the
property of Mr. Juan Gallegos, of Mission San Jose.

Cobb.

One of the most marked features of the Chicago hor^e
market of late has been tbe number of horses taken by
dealers for shipment back to the country and sale to the
armers to work on the land this spring.

was bred by the late Col. H. I. ThorntoD, and was purchased
from the latter's estate by Mr. R. E. de B. Lopez, of PleaB-
anton, who has bred him to a few of his own mares since
each year. During the seasons of 1898 and 1899, Oakwood
Park leased this stallion and bred him to many of the best
mares on this celebrated stock farm, and this year Rancho
del Paso has engaged his services for fifteen mares of royal
breeding As this has necessitated taking the horse to Sacra-
mento, the opportunity will be offered outsiders to book
about twenty mares to him and it is one which they should
avail themselves of.

The bire of James Madison is Anteeo 2:16£, one of the
gamest race horses ever bred in California. Anteeo is
the sire of Aoglina 2:11£, Farris 2:12J, Myrtle 2:13£
Eoline 2:14| and 35 more with Btandard records. Hi8
daughters produced W. Wood 2:07, Directum Kelly 2:08^
and others. Anteeo's sire, Electioneer, has 169 descendants
in the exclusive 2:15 list, and this list contains the names of
such champions as The Abbot 2:06£, Arion 2:072, Palo Alto
2:082, Lady of the Manor 2:04^, Tommy Britton 2:08 and a
host of otherB.

The dam jf James Madison was Lucy Patchen by Geo.
M. Patchen Jr.; his second dam Fanny Branham, a thor-
oughbred mare by American Boy Jr ; third dam Pass by
Lance. Pass has a large number of descendants with Bland*
ard speed.

James Madison is a magnificent large horse with style and
finish, qualities which he imparts to his get. Mr. Haggin
and Mr. Boyd, two of California's largest breeders of harness
horses, both having great Btallions of their own, have so
highly considered James Madison as a sire that they have
booked a large number of their best mares to him. Thi= fact
alone is proof that James Madison's good qualities are
recognized by the leading breeders of the Stale, and they are
making no mistake. Addison 2:111 and Ellen Madison
2:12£ were two of the beBt campaigners out last year. The
former will certainly reduce his record before the season of
1900 is ended, and the latter would have done bo had she
not unfortunately met with a fatal accident last week. The
Madisons are good gocds wherever you find them, and thoee
having good mares aB yet unbooked should not delay, but
send them to this horse while it is yet time. Eee his adver-

ment in this journal.

Some Oood Blood at Farmlrigton.

It makes one think of the "good old days" to see the name
of Lafayette Funck of Farmington in connection with trot-
ting horse matters, and the following letter to the Breeder
and Sportsman Bhows that he is still decidedly "in it:"

"I wish to claim the name "Our Ticket" for a bay horse
five years old by Lottery Ticket, first dam Lizzie F. 2:16£ by
Richard's Elector; second dam by Dan Voorheee; third dam
Mattie Howard; also the name "Haymaker" for a dark
brown ten months old colt by Lottery Ticket, first dam by
Director, second dam by Nutwood, and the name "Lottie
Woods" for dark brown filly ten months old by Lottery
Ticket, first dam Helen Wood by Wedgewood, second dam
by Geo. Wilkes.

Lottery Ticket is by Dexter Prince; his first dam by Nut-
wood was also the dam of Pilot Prince. We have consider-
able of the Nutwood blood, as well as the Electioneer and
Wilkes in our broodmares, that we are breeding to Lottery
Ticket up here in this nick of (he woods, and you must ex-
cuse us if we are just a little proud of the colts we have
named, as they are as good lookers as they are fairly well
bred. 1 do not think that they will need any crutches to
help them home from the half-mile pole, backed up with
such blood as Wedgewood, and old Director and Mattie
Howard with her twenty miles inside of an hour.

We have probably half a hundred more of them up here
bred in the above lines running in oats and clovet up to
their knees.

I have not sold a horse for five years, but I am going to
catch up eight or ten colts, and in the near future will bring
them to your city and Bhow them to you.

With best wish. Respectfully, Lafayette Funck.

English Hackney Champions.

The London Hackney Show, which is the main event of
the year amoog the English breeders of hackneys, was held
during the week beginning March 4th. The junior cham-
pionship among the stallions was won by Rcsellan by Rosa,
dor, dam Elegance by Royal Star, a three year old standing
over 15.1 hands, and the senior championship went to Mr.
Livesey's McKinley, a son of Garton Duke of Connaught
and Lady Willerby by Romeo, that was tbe winner in the
aged class over 15.2. The reserve ribbon went to Royal
Danegelt. In tbe junior mare division the three year old
Welcome, also owned by Mr. Livesey and by Connaught out
of Althorpe Q*ieen by Confidence, was placed first, with Sir
Gilbert Greenall's Ring 'o Bell by Goldfinder 4th the runoer
up The senior mare championship and the reserve ticket
both went to Mr. Chas. Galbraith, Rosadora by Rosador out
of Wild Daisy by Wildpin, being first, and Queen of tbe
WeBt by Garton Duke of Connaught second. Rosadora does
Dot stand 15 hands, while Queen is a larger one.

Altamont is in (he best of health and vigor and doing a good

ing two yearB old, and some of them are 6aid to be very
promising for extreme speed. Mr. Beach still has his love
for the horses, and after his mining deals are all through he
hopes to have sufficient means toerjoy himself in driving
some of old Altamont's best colts for pleasure. Mr. Beach
will return to California in a few days.

Something About Monterey.

P. J. Williams recently wrote a letter to the eastern
auctioneers who will sell his great stallion Monterey at
Cleveland in May, and we take the liberty to reproduce it
as we personally know that the statements made about his
stallion's speed are true insofar as his California experience
is concerned. At the Alameda track Monterey trotted two
heats in his work better than 2:09, and every horseman
knows that track was never a fast one. Mr. William's letter
is as follows :

"Of course, you already know my confidence in and judg-
ment of Monterey. 1 am almost sure he can beat any living
trotting horse a single-handed three in five race, for he has
shown enough to justify me in thinking so. Anyhow, any
time that I have toe money to make my word sound well, I
would bet $2000 that I am right. He has wintered fine, has
been jogging ever since his last race, and I think him good
for his classes this year — any class which will close before
your sale he will be entered in — 2:10 or free for all. His
colls are now coming on and are a fine looking lot. They
are almost all bays, and 1 look for him to breed more bays
than any other color, as all his parents on both sides are
bays or browns. With his phenomenal epeed and perfect
way of going, what is there to keep him from being a great
speed producer and of great value as a stock horse? I pre-
dict that Monterey will soon be one of the grandest sires in
America; his dam is one of the grandest looking bay mares
ever foaled. 1 hope some good horseman will be the buyer,
and give him his mark where he can go — 2:04. He went a
mile in 2:08£ when no other horse could go within three
seconds of their speed, and all good actors. Silver Ring, my
mare, then 2.-1-H, could not do better than 2:14. These are
facts and nothing else.

"At Glens Falls, in the free for all, he wen* the middle
half in 1:0U. the mile in 2:07 flat, Bingen winning the heat
in 2:06+ . Monterey lapped The Abbott in the last two heats
in 2:08 and 2:09. At New York, in the big stallion race,
he won third money. At Louisville he won the 2:10 class
in 2:09$. I think him the fastest living trotting horse and if
1 fail to mark him in 2:05 or better it will be my fault and
not the horse's. He had a sore mouth last season and was
in all his races going from fifty to 100 feet over tbe mile.
Monterey was not trained until be was five years old Up
to March 1st of his three year old form he never went a mile -
in three minutes, nor a quarter in forty seconds. He won
four races that year and got a mark of 2:13J. Monterey wsb
foaled in 1891. His oldest colls are yearlingd. He stands
15 hands 3 inches, weigbB 1200 lbs. He is a big horse on
short lees."

GOOD SPORT ON THE SPEEDWAY.

Members of the Driving Association in a
Couple of Good Contests.

["See Illustrations on First Page.]

No more perfect day for racing ever greeted the visitors to
the speedway in Goldeo Gate Park than on Saturday laBt,
when several hundred people drove out to Bee the speed con-
tests arranged to come off between the members of the
Golden Gate Park Driving Association. Scarcely a breath
of air was stirring, the sky was unclouded and the weather
just warm enough to be pleasant. The track was fast and
through the courtesy of the Park Commissioners the north
side wsb reserved for the races, and the crowd gathered on
the south side of the hedge which runs through the centre*
The races were of half mile heats, the start being at the first
quarter pole and the finish at the three-quarters.

Directors Harry Patrick, W. C. Hamerton and F. W.
Thompson acted as judges and Mr. Dan Misner wielded the
starting flag.

Owing to the fact that the track is neither a straightaway
or an oval, the start and the finish are not visible to spectators
from the same point which detracts greatly from the
enjoyment of the contests and renders it impossible to know
when the startB are made, and precludes all efforts to time
the horses. The Directors of the Driving Association will,
however, with the consent of the Park Commissioners, put
a wire along the track and with the aid of electric bells and
push buttons the start can then be announced and time taken.
This will be a vast improvement aod add much to the
pleasure of the contests. The first race on Saturday was be-
tween Mr. Eva's chestnut gelding Peanuts driven by Mr.
Richardson, Mr. Hottua's bay gelding Correct driven by
Hottua Jr., and Mr. Stewart's bay gelding Locaieer driven
by Mr. Dunlap. Peanuts won the first heat handily, but in
the second broke badly and tlie heat went to Correct. In
the third, however, the son of Sidney stuck to his gait and
won easily enough.

The Becond race was easy for Dr. Kleiser's handsome
stallion by Electioneer, Alta Vela. He won in straight beats
and trotted like a race horse in both of them. Mr. Richard"
son's little gray pacing mare Qaeenie was second in both
heats, and bad she not stumbled in the second might have
woo as she was coming very fast whea it happened. Alta
Vela ought to be trained and raced to a record if for no other
reason than to give Electioneer another in the 2:20 list, as
he is good for a mile faster than that.

There must have been nearly five hundred vehicles on the
sooth side of the speedway at one time or another during the
races. The fact that there is poor opportunity to see the en-
tire race prevents many people from lingering long at the
track and large numbers leave after one heat is decided,
though their places are immediately taken by others who
happen to be driving through the park.

If a half mile circular track could be constructed in the
Park it would become one of the grandest resorts for pleasure
seekers in the city. The recreation grounds offer a splendid
site for a track of this description and one could be built
around it that would interfere in no way with the other
sports that t#ke place on the blue grass sward there. Of
course no contests for purses or money would pe permitted
but it could be used by the drivers of road horses who wish
to speed them and on days like last Saturday could be set
apart for the exclusive use of any club which might secure
that privilege. There is plenty of room to lay out a good
half mile track at the point mentioned and it could be
graded at a very low coBt.

The summaries of the contests on Saturday were as fol-
lows :

TROTTING- IN FRANCE.

Advance Guard won the Pacific Uoion Handicap at the
California Jockey Club's Oakland track on Thursday of this
week and though giving away from fourteen to thirty-four
pounds to everything in the race, won easily. He carried
127 pounds and wsb ridden by Piggott. The mile and an
eighth was run in 1 :54£. the last mile being run by Advance
Guard in 1:40 flat. Tbe son of imp. Greatf Tom did not get
a very good start and after a quarter of a nuVie had been run,
was about eight lengthB bebiod the leader, but at the head of
the stretch he got his nose in front and won by nearly two
lengths.

E Corrigan has definitely decided upon his stable for
England. It will consist of Geyser, Corsioe, Chimura, Daisy
F., Adolph Spreckels, Golden Rule and two two year olds.
There is a probability of taking either St. Cassimir or Sardine.

The Pacific Breeders Futurity will close next Mondayi
April 2d. See that your foals of 1899 are eotered. The
stake is guaranteed to be worth $3000.

Mb. T. J. Crowley, of this city, has sent a handsome
mare bv Guy Wilkes 2:15} to Nutwood Slock Farm to be
bred to Nutwood Wilkes 2:16*.

Mr. A. G. Gurnett, who is offering his country home and
horse breeding farm, known as the Sulphur Spring Stock
Farm, together with all his horses at private sale, has sent a
stable of Biz horses to Pteasanton to be kept in traioijg for
this year's races. Tbey are Direct File, a four year old
stallion by Direct; a two year old stallion by St. Nicholas
dam Lassie Jean; a three year old by McKinney, dam Nellie
Fairmont by Piedmont; What Is It by Direct, dam Lassie
Jean; a bay mare by Monaco, and a four year old gelding by
Direct.

These horses are offered for Bale and can be seen at the
Pleaaanton track. Mr. Gurnett, while he intends to sell
them, will keep them in training and it is an unusual oppor-
tunity for a purchaser intending to race them this year. The
other horses can be seen at the farm by applying to Mr.
Gurnett at 309 Pine St., San Francisco.

He will also send Lassie Jean, now in foal to Nutwood
Wilkes, and Nellie Fairmont by Piedmont, to the Nutwood
Stock Farm, Irvington, to be bred to Nutwood Wilkes this
year. Lassie Jean's foal which she is expected to drop in a
few days should be a valuable animal, as it will be either a
full brother or BiBter to Who la It 2:10£.

Harry Devereaux Tells His Impressions of a
Raoe at Nloe.

An Opportunity to Get Good Ones.

Over at Pleasanton there are now in training eight or ten
youngsters by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16} that are showing lots of
speed, and are good prospects for money winners this year.
Mr. Martin Garter, proprietor of tbe Nutwood Stock Farm,
and owner of these colts, has his time so taken up with his
vast business interests that he finds it very difficult to pay
much attention to the development and racing of the colts
bred on his farm at Irvington, but he always has a small
string out and always gets a share of the money with them.
Like a sensible man of business, however, he always has
young horses for Bale, and intending purchasers are invited
to go to Pleasanton and see the youngsters now in training
there under tbe care of William Cecil. They are nearly all
green horses without records but with speed enough to win
at the races this year and this speed will be shown. Mr.
Carter will race quite a string on the California circuit this
year and will continue to do so every year, but the colts and
fillies will be for sale at any and all times, and will be sold
right. Several of those now at Pleasanton can show a mile
better than 2:20 and that will win this year in many of the
classes.

Odb of the

The Shire Horse.

One of the most popular draft horses in England is the
8hire. While the Scotchman clings to tbe Clyde as being
the very perfection of everything that could be desired in
tbe way of a draft horse, there are sections of Eogland where
the Shire stands just as high in the affections of the breeder
and farmer. They are both good types of horses and if we
had more of them in this country it would be better for the
horse breeding interests.

In an excellent work just published Sir Walter Gilbey,
Bart, has traced the descent of the Shire horse from the
"Great" or war horse so famous in England's early military
history. This Great horse was bred for bizs and strength as
well as activity. It was necessary that he should carry a
heavy armor of steel. The total weight that a war horse
would have to carry into battle would be about 425 pounds,
and not only would he have to carry this with ease but in
such a way as not to interfere with his movements in an
active engagement.

The Great horse continued to be tbe favorite animal until
the use of armor in battle was discarded. After that he began
to ba used more as a beast of burden and for hauling carriages
and such like through the almost impassible roade of old
England. In the time of Qieen Eliz .beth the Great horse
was UBed for draft and farm work as well as for military pur-
poses. During the reign of Charles I, borse racing became
popular, and its results on the breed of strong horses began
to disturb the minds of many thoughtful men. About the
time of Queen Anne (1702-1713) the name Shire was used
for the first time. This name associates the Great horse
now no longer required as a saddle horse, with agriculture
and commerce. It was in demand as a carriage horse because
of tbe bad roads.

The writer states that this breed for which war-horae,
Great horse, old English horse, or Shire horee are terms used
at different periods, has been distributed for centuries through
the district between the Humber and the Cam occupyiog the
rich fen lands of Lincolnshire and Cambridgeshire and ex-
tending westward through tbe counties of Huntingdon
Northampton, Leicester, Nottingham, Derby Norwich and
Stafford on tbe Severn. It has also been extensively bred in
the low-lying pasture lands of England, in the countiea both
north and south of those named, everywhere retaining itB
typical character subject to slight variations produced by
differences of climate, soil and food.

J. 8. Haggin made ten entries in the Kentucky Futurity,
the (20,000 trotting stake.

Irene Cbocker 2:17 has been bred to Zombro 2:11.

The Chicsgo Horse Review $6000 subscription purse for
foals of 1897 will be contested bv the three vear old division
this year over (he track of tbe Buffilo Driving Club at Fort
Erie. This is the first time in the history of this purse that
it has been decided on a traok so far east.

The noted amateur reinsman, Mr. Harry Devereaux, of
Cleveland, Ohio, who owns among other California horses
the good colt John A. McKerron 2:12J, has just returned
from quite an extensive tour of Europe. He says he did not
visit many of the horse centers of Europe, but he took in a
trotting meeting at Nice, and one day of it waB verv close to
enough. The manner in which the races are driven take on
too much of the character of cruelty to animals to euit an
American horse fancier.

"The races were trotted on the turf," he said, "and the
way those drivers thrash and beat their horBes from start to
finish is blood curdling. They are getting on to the Ameri-
can plan of rigging their horses to a certain extent, but are
still quite a ways behind. I saw one or two sets of two-
minute harness, and they are beginning to bit the animals
something after the American idea, so far as tbe harness
horses are concerned; bat those which trot under saddle are
subjected to the cruelty of a curb bit, while the rider either
seis back like a piece of stone and pulls or is bouncing all
over the horse from bis tail to his ears.

"They have a sort of a bike sulky which they make them-
selves, but they are far and away behind our sulkies. I was
alsj astonished at the size and weight of the drivers. They
looked better fitted for heavyweight wrestlers or gladiators,
and the poor horses had to pull those fellows around the
heavy sod track at the best speed they can muster from start
to finish. Tbey are Bent away from a standing start at the
crack of a gun, and every driver is busy with his whip from
tbe first jump. It is simply a question of endurance rather
than speed or skill in driving. One after another dies away
and tbe one that can stay on his feet the longest wins.

"One race that I watched with particular interest was a
four mile race. In it were two American horses, Autrain
and Bellewood. Tbe Frenchman who drove Autrain
weighed considerably over 200 pounds; but his way of driv-
ing at the start led me to think he was more skillful in that
respect than the others. He did not go from the jump eff as
though his life depended on killing his horse as quickly as
possible.

"He trailed along very well for the first mile or so, and then
he trailed so well that he was close on to a mile behind when
the time came for him to make his drive, and it looked as
though he could jump over the moon just about as easily as
he could close up that awful gap. He went at it, however,
and I was more than surprised to Bee Autrain gain rapidly
and for a time, with apparent ease, on the struggling and
grievously punished horses in front of her. 8he went by
them and it looked like her race snre, when she began to lire
perceptibly, and a scrawny little thing, which had been
beaten all the way under the administration of a more vigor-
ous lashing, rallied and beat the mare to the wire. It was
not a particularly exhilarating Bight, I can tell you.

"The track is about one mite and a half around, and being
nothing but damp turf, you can imagine how heavy is the
going. In the matter of betting, however, the French are
somewhat ahead of us. While it ie all done by the mutual
system, the machines which we have seen used in this
country are not used.

"A portion of the grounds are set aside for the bettors of
large sums — that is, from five france up — and a place for tbe
smaller fry. Several booths are arranged in a row, with a
man in each one to take your money. At tbe back on the
wall of tbe booth bunches of tickets are arranged according
to the number of the horse. Place tickets are distinguished
by a bread red band, so there can be no mistake, and the
booths are distinguished from each other by a letter.

"You glance over the array of tickets and can tell just how
many have been sold on each horse, the bettors themBelve
making the odds, the pool sellers getting only their per-
centage. You put do.?n your money aod call tbe number of
the horse you want to play, and it is banded you. Should
you be fortunate and win, you have but little difficulty in
cashing your ticket. You simply go to the rear of the booth
at which it was purchased, and there is another man to hand
out yonr winnings, less the percentage.

"There are comparatively few at each booth at a lime, and
bettors have their money to play again. The judges watch
the betting, too. When the name and number of the
winning horse are hung out, the amount of money won by
the tickets on it is also announced, so that there can be no
holding out. / _

A fine trotting track will be built at Lakewood, near New
York City, this summer, which will be used for winter mat-
inee raceB and training. Nathan Straus, who had Alven and
one or two others of bis road horses there almost nil winter,
became iofaluated with the location for winter driving, and
the notion soon possessed him that a winter track would be a
grand thing To think, with him, is to act, and he was soon
casting his eve over everv available spot in that locality,
with tbe result that ninetv acres have been secured within
three mites of Lakewood, just a pleasant drive, for the pur-
pose. It is Baid that the owner of the land has donated it.
provi ling a first clsss track is built and grand stand and all
necessary buildings put up.

There were twelve mares in foal to McKinney entered in
the Kentucky $20,000 Futurity.

The Saddle.

" Skbets " Martin landed two winners at the Lincoln
spring meeting in England last Wednesday.

Frank Bell is running right up to his best Eastern form
and is a hard horse to beat at sprinting distances.

Advance Guard, Yellow Tail and F. W. Brode are all
entered in the American Derby to be run at Washington
Park, Chicago.

Thos. H. Williams Jr., President of the California
Jockey Club, has returned a few weeks' visit to Chicago and
other cities in the west and east.

There will be running races at all the district fairs this
year, and there should be enough horses remaining in the
State to make up some good contests.

Phil Archibald, the bookmaker, has been removed to a
private asylum for medical treatment; his mind is badly
affected and his physician has serious doubts as to the out-
come of his case.

•

Thursday was piker's day at the race track; long shots
kept dropping from the clouds all the afternoon and but one
solitary favorite got home in front. The bookmakers must
have reaped a rich harvest.

Henry's rode on Forte in the mile and six furlongs race
was a piece of good jockeyship which would have been cred-
itable even in a much more experienced rider than 8chreiber's
promising lightweight.

The two year olds which have started in California, with
one or two exceptions, are a most inferior lot; they -do not
seem to be able to beat one another, running first on one
occasion and then in their next essay finishing last.

Woodland will make running races one of the features
of its fair, and will provide two events at the runnine gait
each day. Liberal purses will be offered. The fair will be
held daring the last week in August and jaBt prior to the
State Fair.

The first foal sired by Vinctor, son of Brutus, has been
dropped at Santa Anita. It is a colt and out of Oaeka Maid,
a half sister to Prince of Melbourne, sold for $15,000 re-
cently to be raced in England. Oaeka Maid was bred in
Kentucky and is by Oneko.

Ed. M. Sweeney cut loose another good thing on Wednes-
day; his chestnut gelding, Proclamation, made his first
appearance in a six furlong race and experienced no difficulty
in winning, notwithstanding the fact that he was off badly

and was afterwards interfered with several times.

Walter Jennings was dissatisfied over the defeat of
Andrisa by Advance Guard, and offered to match his filly
against the colt for $500 a side and run the race over; he was
prompt'y called by Mr. Shields and the race will be run on
Tuesday of next week, the California Jockey Club adding
$700 to the amount of the wager.

C. C. Maffitt, who was formerly president of the St.
Louis race track, died from heart failure at bis home last
Friday. The deceased was a millionaire and interested in
several large corporations. He owned a large stable cf race
horses, which was trained by "Old Man" Baker. P. C.
Maffitt, a brother, lives in California.

Prince of Melrose, a two year old by Farandole —
Orchid in the stable of Geo. H. Whitney at Lexington is
considered one of the coming "phenoms." He is a slashing
big fellow, a seal brown, with hind stockings white; stands
sixteen hands and weighs 1060 pounds He is heavily en-
gaged in stakes to be run on the metropolitan courses.

The following nameB have been claimed for California
bred two year olds in England: Lothian Lassie, ch f by
imp. Midlothian, dam Pandora; Can Can, b f by imp Can-
dlemas, dam Miss Mollev; Missing Star by imp. Star Eubv,
dam Hiatus; Despite, ch c by Tyrant, dam Gladiola II.;
Eoyal Fate, ch c by Kismet, dam Royal Purple; Bethulie,
ch g by imp. July, dam Beth Dunbar.

Btlly Taylor, a two year old owned by W. 8. Hobart,
and the 6rst of thd get of Bright Phcebus to face a starter,
was touted for a good thing in the last race at Tanforan, and
the Burlingame crowd were down hook, line and sinker on
his chances; second was the best he could do, however, as
Tosh, a gelding by Bassetlaw — Modesty, bred by E. Corrigao,
jumped out in the lead and was never headed, winning by
five or six open lengths.

At the opening of the flit racing season at Lincoln, Eng-
land, oo March id 6 h. American pckeys were much in evi-
dence, both the RetrT beys, Martin and Sloan were on the
coarse; Sloan, however, did not ride. , Johnny ReifT rode
Portiere, winner of the first event, and his brother had the
mount oo Goodrich which fioisbed third in the same race,
Lester also finished third in two other events and "Sfeeets"
Martin had equal good fortune.

Eddie Jones is the latest American pckey to break into
the Eoglish racing game, he having set sail for England last
Saturday. He has no engagement with any racing stable,
but will ride as a free lance. Many persons lahor under a
serious delusion. They imagioe that the Eoglish jockeys
are not good riders In >bis they are mistaken, for there are
many English jockeys who are not one whit behind the
American. The trouble in England is that there ii a dearth
of lightweight j icfceys over there; hence Sloan, Martin and
- Little Rieff bad a decided advantage over their competitors
Moreover, Sjoan and Martin ranked in the first division of
American j^ckeye; therefore their success does not mean that
every ordinary American jockey can cross the Atlantic and
put it all over the Englishmen.

Among the horsemen and trainers already at Eennings
with strong strings are John Baker, with eleven belonging to''
Anderson & Cahill, "Doc" 8treet with six, Jimmy Mc-
Laughlin with sixteen, P. S. P. Randolph with nearlv as
many, and W. F. Presgrave with a formidable combination
of jumpers owned bv B. F. Clyde. Jockey O'Leary has
been at the track for over a week working out his favorite
mount Decanter, and several other horses that are being
trained by W. P. Bureh.

Advance Guard, after experiencing all kinds of hard
luck, and losing five or six race3 through no fault of his own,
finally succeeded in winning the Golden State handicap at
Oakland on Monday; he was outrun the first three-eighths,
being in last position turning if] to the stretch, but he picked
up his horses one bv one and at the finish was going stronglv
and won by three parts of a length from Andri«sa which had
set a fast clip and held the lead throughout. Zoroaster, with
121 ibs. up was an indifferent third. .

A BAY colt was foaled in England this week, the property Timei:i3v
of Marcus Daly, the Montana millionaire, that in all proba-
bility could not be purchased from that gentleman at any
price. The sire of the youogster is the great St. Simon and
its dam Lady Reel, the dam of Hamburg. Lidy Reel is by
Feliowcraft out of Mannie Grey, tbe dt.m of Domino by En-
quirer; second dam L''zzie G. by War Dance; third dam by
Lecompte and fourth dam by imp. Sovereign. Mr. Daly
gave $15,000 for L*dy Reel and sent her to Europe over a
year ago to be bred to St. Simon. •

The Thornton Stake at four miles will be decided this
afternoon, and probably five horses will line up at the start.
The field, which at the present outlook, will consist of Forte,
Weller, Twiokler, Lecfsei and Potente, seems lo be well
matched at the weights and the contest should be close and
exciting. On Tuesday Forte worked two miles in 3:40 and
Twinkle; finished 6trong three miles in 5:44 There seems
to be little to choose between tbe cbances of the five candi-
dates and the race should be a very good beUing proposition
between the public and tbe bookmakers.

him 'o a drive- The value of the stake, which is quite an
important event, is about $4950, and it is quite an unusual
thing for an American horse to compete successfully with
the Eoglish and Irish jumpers over a steeplechase course.
The winner was r>red ac Oester*rrook Farm by Mr. A J.
Cassatt, but went to Eogland as a yearling under ownership
of Mr. Pierre Lorillard. ^^ ,

Frank De Poister, one of tbe best known horsemen in
California, died in Sacramento last Sundav. He was a
native of Illinois, aged 71 years. Mr. De Poister came to
California in the early pioneer days and was for many vears
with Mr. Theodore Winters. He helped fit Norfolk-jpr his
races against Lodi and trained the great mare
Cartv. Up to wii^ia L'ae past few months Mill
has been actively engaged in training runner1
of years ago, about the time that Theodore Win'tSl
lished his stock farm at Winiere, in Yolo county, De roister
wab there on a visit. One day while oat in the orchard
picking some frail, he pricked thethumi on his left hand
with a thorn. Blood poisoning set in and it was found nec-
essary to amputate his left arm at the elbow.

"It saTys a great deal for the vitality of the Eoglish itui .
when a team of nineteen horses in training, all in the same
ownership, is disposed of for a total of 70,440 guineas, or an
average of over 3707 guineas. It must be remembered, to«.
that four of the lot were untried geldiDg-; these four on*
aggregated 730 guineas, and this lowered the aver,
considerably. The fact is, however, that the late Duke uX
Westminster was widely recognized as the most successful
breeder of the day, and, what is more important, the best
judge of a thoroughbred in the '^2: m. Then, too, a
mspritv of the other eighteen who helped Flying Fox to
make the enormous total at Kiogsciere ol Thar3d*y were
descendants in tail male of Doncaster, who&e blooHaas had
such enormous influence on the English turf during the last
twenty years.

The Governing Board of ihe Washington Park Jockey
Club was entirely remodelled at a meeting held in Chicago
last Thursday. The entire Board of Dire v '--b num-

bered twenty-four members, including the presii'' _: resigned,
and in their place were elected tbe. following f . liwrence
A. Toong, -D Mark Cummings, James Howard, Watson J.
Ferry, J6hn F. Morse and William L. Phelps. These six
men will appoint one other, and the seven will compose
the Board of Directors in future. The clnh found that a
few men who could attend all the meetings iv( he bos- J swe
better than a larger number who would r» \j be in 4i;CJJ-
ance. Mr. Young was elected president of tbe jockey club.
John E. Walsh, former treasurer of the cinb, resieneJ ' "d
his place will Dot be rilled. Instead tbe offices of ice l
urer and secretary have oeen combined. James Ho

Pretty small for a big State like Ohio.

Reports from Great Britain say that horses will be

John Kelly will campaign Sidney Pointer 2:14} this
year and thinks he will beat 2:05 with him.

The yoang stallion, Aristocrat by Wilton, which was
shipped to Europe by Railey Bros., Versailles, Ky., died on
the voyage.

Notwithstanding his 26 years, the grand old stallion,
Young Jim, is still hale and hearty and is doing stud duty
in Kentucky.

The Few England Trotting Horse Breeders Association
received 179 entries to its six classes, 89 more than was re-
ceived last year.

C. L. Gbiffith will campaign his two four year old colts
by Direct 2:05A in the East this year. Both are pacers and
both can beat 2:10.

Judge Coleman of Colorado Springs has leased that con-
sistent trotter Oar Lucky 2:13$ and wilt start him first at the
Denver meeting in May.

Several car loads of hay have been shipped from Pleas-
anton to Goshen, New York, duriog the paat week and sev-

British agents are scouring southwestern Texas for army
horses. Jt is said that pricts have advanced from 30 to 50

Willows has raised nearly $1200 among its merchants
for a district fair Solus, but expec's to increase the amount
eight hundred dollars more at least.

Pabties making entries in the early closing purses of the
Cleveland Grand Circuit meeting will bs allowed to train the

W. H. Moffatt, Kempville, N. Y., has sold the pacer
Sidney Pointer 2:14} by Star Pointer to Alex. McLaren,
Buckingham, P. Q-, for the reported long price of $6000.

Scott Hudson is very sweet on the four year old green
horse in his stable sired by Jay Bird, out of a mare by
Lumps. It is said that Scott thinks 2:07 within his reach.

A full sister to Lena N. 2:05J recently foaled a hand-
some brown colt by Seymour Wilkes 2:08£, and will be bred
to McKinney 2:11} this year. She is the property of Eagan
Bros., of Petaluma.

Welcome Bukkee, a mare who has Mambrino King for
her sire, and Lady Bunker, the dam of Guy Wilkes, for her
dam, recently foaled a colt by Direct 2:05£ at Marcus Daly's
Bitter Root Farm in Montana.

The horses belonging to the late C. F. Bates, of New
York, were sold at auction last week and brought $37,255,
an average of nearlv $621 each. This was probably the
largest collection of high steppers owned by any one person
in this country.

La Belle, whose two year old recoid of 2:16 was made in
1894, foaled a handsome colt by Direct" Heir March 18th.
This mingling of the blood of Direct and 8idney through a
son and daughter that have shown early and extreme speed,
should produce a "warm baby."

A. T. Jackson, of Alameda, ie- handling a black filly by
Direct that gives promise of being quite a trotter. 8he be-
longs to Mr. Vagar, of San LeaDdro, and thoogh only just
broken picks her feet up in a manner that is very much after
the style of those that are "sure trotters."

Geo. B. Powebs. of Yountville, Cal., has purchased from
E. E. Peterson, of Petaluma, a two year old stallion weigh-
ing 1310 pounds, for $500. The horse was Bired by an im-
ported Norman stallion and Mb dam is a Glory mare. Mr.
-.- Powers made the purchase for the Colonel Frye ranch.

O. A; Hickok, who always spends his winters in Califor-
nia, will leave in a few days for Kentuckv and will cam-
paign a small stable of horses belonging to W. E. D. Stokes,
of New York. It is very likely that Mr. Hickok will also
have one or two horses of his own on the Eastern grand
circuit.

A8 an evidence of the revival in u.' -^'-E' '"■and driving
Of horses, Mr. John A. McKerron, thetRECTPurer of high
class harness and horse boots, states th;jD&rr had received
more orders up to the first of March this year for goods in
this line than he had received up to May let during five
years previous.

Geo. T. Beckers is beginn-ng to move Zombro 2:11 a
little and the son of McKinney is showing all of his old time
speeo. 8ince November 4th last when he was put to easy
worfc after a year's rest Z3mbro has been given about a
hundred slow heats, the fastest of which was a mile in 2:20,
last half in 1:08 and last quarter in 34±. He is looking fit to
trot for a life right now, and will get faster work from this on.

H. T. Haws of JobnBtJwn. Pa., has purchased the five
year old black stallion The Airship 2:11 J, pacing, by Barada
2:22$ out of Reinette by Gambetta Wilkes, from H. C.
Winnings of Indianapolis. He will be trained the coming
season at toe trot. He has been allowed to take his irregular
winter work for the past three montheat the trot, and has
shown enougl1 speed at that way of goiog to make horsemen
who have seen him think him a phenom. Last seasen he
paced several miles around 2.10 without hoppled, but has
always shown an inclination to trot.

' M. Henky of Haywards writes: "I wish to claim the
name of 'Headlight' for the black colt foaled March 14,
1900, bv Searchlight 2:03}, first dam Jacobina by Decorator,
son of Director 2:17; second dam Dolly by Vermont Mee-
seeger. Jacobina was bred to Klatawah 2:05* on March
22, 1900."

The horse won't slip on the bitumen if he is shod with
the Greenwood rubber heel shoes. It is the best thing in
the way of a never slip shoe that has been put on the market.
It lessens concussion, gives frog pressure, preveolB corns and
will outwear an ordinary shoe. See the picture of it among
our advertisements.

Beechwood 2:10i by 8ilkwood will be raced in the East
this year. John Baker sold Beech irood to A. F. Slice last
winter for $325, Mr. Stice resold her to Joe Desmel, of Los
Angeles, for $500. and the latter has now disposed of her to
an EaBtern man for $800 and she will be shipped across the
country soon to race in the 2:11 class.

Twin foals were dropped by a mare by Berlin near Chico
recently. The mares were perfectly formed, but one of them
was not much larger than a jack rabbit. They were dead
when found. The mare is owned by Mr. A. L. Nichols, the
Chico merchant, who bred her last year to a Toll brother to
Welcome 2:10£, owned by L. H. Mcintosh.

Fbank A. Grimes, of Knights Landing, Yolo county,
has sent a fine filly by Direct to 8. H. Hoy of Winters to be
trained. Mr. Hoy is gradually getting together a stable of
horses that will cut quite a figure *on the circuit this year.
Kelly Briggs 2:10-1, McNally 2:20 and Demonio, full brother
to Diablo, are three that can get recognition in any company.

Chebokee Pbince 2:18, a good looking son of Dexter
Prince, is making the season of 1900 at Alameda. This
horse gets good looking foals and there are some extra fine
roadsters by him, though none have had any training for
track purposes. A better dispositioned horse than Cherjkee
Prince never lived and a ten year old boy can handle him.
His service fee is $25.

They are steeping some at Los Aneeles. Will Durfee has
a two year old Zombro that haB already worked a half in 1:18
and Fred Ward has two Zjmbros which are three years old,
one of which worked a quarter in 36} and the other in 36£.
There is also a trotier there by Atto Rex that has already
been a mile in 2:20i and can do it faster. Many of the
horses at the track have distemper pretty badly, however.

The bay pacing mare Geraldine 2:16|, owned by Dr Fred
P. Clark of 8tockton, has foaled a colt by Searchlight 2:03}.
It is a handsome youngster and its owner is justly prnud of
it. Geraldine was campaigned in this State in 1892 and
1893 and won a number of good races, getting her mark at
Stockton in the fall of the last named year. She is by Mt.
Vernon, a son of Nutwood, and her dam is Edith C. by
General McClellan.

Nutwood Weeks, the dam of Ethel Dowas 2:10, foaled a
pure black colt March 23d, whose sire >s Altamont 3600, sire
of Chehalis 2:04} and others. Nutwood Weeks is the first
daughter of Nutwood 600 to be bred to Altamont, and her
owner, Thos. J. Weeks of Santa Cruz, is highly pleased with
the grand looking youngster that has resulted. Mr. Weeks
has named him Fremont in honor of the celebrated Path-
finder who blazed the way for Pacific Coast civilization.

Palo Alto Stock Fabm has entered Gusurro, a brown
filly by Wildnut, and Fieldborne, a bay gelding by AHivo in
the 2:25 trot for three year olds for which a purse of $2000
has been hung up by the New England Trotting Horse
Breeder- Association, whose meeting is held at Readville,
Mass. In the 2:26 pace, purse $3000, C. L. Grinath of this
city has entered the four year old by Direct, dam Bon Bon
by Simmons, and the four year old by Direct out of Nola by
Nutwood. ^k

Mr. A. L. Nichols, the well known merchant of Chico,
and one of the directors of the Agricultural Association there,
was in the city this week- He reports quite a number of
horses at work on the track there, which is now being kept
in good condition. James Sollivan is putting Col. Henshaw'B
horses through their paces daily and Mr. Nichols says he has
some "real good ones" in the string. About thirty horses in
all are being trained at Chico. The outlook for a fair and
race meeting is excellent.

Matd 8. £:08| was buried in a plot adjoining that wherein
are placed the remains of Dexter, who in his day was as
great as Maud 8. was in her day. The bodies of these two
wonderful horses now lie side by side on the estate of Robert
Bonner, at East View, Westchester county. A large van
draped in mourning and bearing a picture of Maud 8. was
used as a hearse. It was drawn across the country by two
horses, and all the farmers along the route turned out to
witness the novel sight of a horse funeral.

A'.^ewYobk dispatch of March 24th says: "An in-
creaBeuuiemand for good horses was particularly noticeable
in the local marts last week, and all the dealers report satis-
factory Bales. As a matter of fact, the demand is really in
excesB of the Bupply. The scarcity of first class coachers,
cobs, eaddlere, draughters, and. in fact, all kind*, has put the
dealers on their mettle. They have agents in all sections
of the country endeavoring to get hold of the right sort,
and those who succeed find a ready market.

Mr. and Mrs Jos. Thayer, of Lexington Kentucky,
departed for iheir home this week after a sojourn of three
months in California. They have enjoyed their visit to the
Golden State, but now that the horses are beginning to shed
their coats in Kentucky Mr. Thayer thinks it time he was
looking after their speed lessons a little. His grand colt
The Bondsman is reported in first claes shBpe and Mr,
Thayer believes him t o be about the best one he ever owned

At the Occidental Horee Exchange in this city on Monday
la6t there was a notable sale of heavy horses from the farm
of John Collins, of Honcut, Butte county, in this State. Mr.
Wm. G. Layng, proprietor of this popular horse mart, con-
ducted the sale and obtained good prices throughout. While
the horses weie as fine a lot as has been seen in a San Fran-
cisco mart for many a day, a large proportion were practically
unbroken and made things lively when taken into the ring.
A team of 1400-pound horses brought $275 and hardly a
horse sold for less than $75. Bidding was active and showed
plainly that there is a good demand for horses of all descrip-
tions that are sound and fit to work.

8lventeen subscriptions were received, for the $10,000
Massachusetts puree of the Boston Grand Circuit meeting.
Horses are not to he named until Angus' 6th, yet the names
of Borne of the subscribers afiord somethiog of a line on the
identity of the prospective starters. Jack Curry's subscrip-
tion was probably made with a view to starting Richard
Croker's chestnut trotter Chanty 2:13} by Guy Wilkes, now
in Currv'B stable. W. C. Floyd-Jon^, another metropolitan
subscriber, will doubtless start bis well known Speedway
trotter Woodford C. 2:12$ by Redfield, while Edgar Bronk's
subscription probably stands for the fast mare Phrase that
Eddie Lockwood is Siting for the campaign. Other sub-
scribers are Daniel Mahoney of White Plains; Col. Isaac L.
Gcff of Providence, owner of Wilask 2:12$; Thomas W.
Laweon, owner of Bnralma 2:12, ar>d several others that are
eligible; Alexander McLaren of Ottawa, owner of Larabie
2:12J; Frank Jo.ies of Portsmouth, Lookout Farm, South
Natick, Mass.; W. G. McLeod, Cambridge, Mass., Col.
John £. Thayer, Lancaster, Mass.; R. H Plant, Macon, Ga.,
MeadowlandB Farm, Meadowlands, Pa.; Edward Winter,
Morrisvilte, Pa., and M. H. Tichenor, Chicago,

Caval Rcdrigu* z, of Salioas, thinks be has a two-minute
pacer in Guidon 0344, owned by Mrs. W. J. Hil!, of that
city. Guidon was not worked all winter, but with a few
days jogging and three workouts, paced a quarter in 32 sec-
onds bo eaBily that it is believed by Mr. Rodriguez that he
can drive him a quarter better than 30 seconds any time.
Guidon is game and sound and has a perfect set of feet and
legs. As to his breeding there are none better. His sire is
Almont Patchen 2:15, his dam Minnie L by Anteros, second
dam M'Liss by Nephew, third dam Belle McClellan by
Gen. McClellan 143, fourth dam by Chieftain 721. Guidon
will be seen on the circuit this year.

The Kentucky Futurity for foals of 1900 has the largest
list of entries in its hiBtory there being 1478 mares, nomin-
ated at $5 each, making the neat sum of $7390 paid in by
owners on first payment. The stake will be worth at leaBt
$30,000 when trotted in 1903. Kentucky, of course, ie the
heaviest nominator in the stake and has made 566 entries.
New York has 168 and California 86 There are 333 Bires
represented, of which 228 have records. The Kentucky
Trotting Horse Breeders Association is to be congratulated
on the splendid success of this great stake — a stake that has
done more to encourage the breeding of high class trotting
horses than any one thing in connection with the industry.

John Dickerson has the following to say of Joe Patchen:
"The report in circulation to the effect that Ed Mills is
goiog to manage Joe Patchen thia year is all wrong. Joe
stands ready to race anybody over any track at any time, and
anybody wishing his services can write me here at Gosben.
I would prefer racing him over good tracks in open classes,
best two in three, distance 40 yards, money divided, 60, 25
and 15, or 75 and 25 per cent.; or 1 am ready to meet any
one pacer for a race of the same kind for a suitable purse.
There is a likelihood of racing him against Searchlight for
three or four races, but up to date nothing definite." This
is good news, as old Joe is far from a back number and ahle
to hold his own against the fastest pacers on the turf in
straight races.

The Riverside Fair and Driving Association will hold its
first matinee on the afternoon of April 16th. There are to
be four events for harness horses, all to be half mile heats,
best two in three. Three will be for pacers and one for
trotters. Silver cups are to be awarded the winners of two
of the more important races, and blue, red and yellow
ribbons will go to the first, second and third horses in all.
Entries will close with the secretary, Frank D. Lewis of
Riverside, on Friday, April 6th. The racing committee of
the association are Messrs. I. A. Witherspoon, G. W. Dick-
son and Robert Lee Bettner. In addition to the harness
races there will be two running races for ponies belonging to
members of the Riverside and Santa Barbara Polo Clubs. A
good day's sport is assured.

The California bred trotters entered in the Blue Hill

C. A. Durfee was down from Pleaaanton Monday and re-
ports that the horae business at '"the horse centre" is flour-
ishing. He savs that Diablo 2:0&i, Direct 2:05* and Nut-
wood Wilkes 2:16$ are all doing well in the stud and are
each getting a fine lot of mares. His own stallion McKinney
2:11 J, has 36 mares on his books already which, Mr. Durfee
says, is twice as great a number as have been booked by this
time any previous year. Pierce Bros., proprietors of the
Santa Rosa Stock Farm, have booked eight of their choicest
mares to McKinney. among them Bye Bye, full sister to
Lockheart 2:08* bv Nutwood, Biacsra by Director, Bonsaline
2:16J by Stamboul, Stamboulita by Stamboul, Guycara by
Guv Wilkes, Carlotta Wilkes by Charley Wilkes and Adioo
by Guy WilkeB, dam Bye Bye. This is as grand a lot of
mares as were ever sent to a stallion by any one stock farm
in America. Tber« is not one of them but is grandly bred
and a fine individual-

That good trotting mare Ellen Madison 2:12} by Jame8
Madison met with an accident last week which necessitated
her being killed to put an end to her suffering. She was
running in the centre field at the Los Angeles track and Mr.
Fred Ward, who trained and drove her to her record, went
out to catch her. She wa» always rather mean about being
caught and on this occasion tried to jump the fence. She
failed to clear it and her left hind leg was nearly cut ofj by
the top board, a horrible cut being made just above the Btifle.
She had been bred to Zombro. Ellen Madisoo was the prop-
erty of Mr. M. A. Murphy, of Coltoo, Cal. Her dam was
by Albion, fon of Gen. Benton. Mr. Ward leaped the 6 My
from Mr. Murphy aod broke and trained her. He took her
East in 1899 and trotted her in races for three year olds,
giving her a record of 2:19J. In 1899, he again campaipned
her in the Mississippi valley and reduced her record to 2:121,
and it was thought this mark would be still further reduced
this year.

THE PACIFIC BREEDERS FUTURITY for foals
of 1896' will close with Secretary F. W. Kelley, 22 J
Geary street, next Monday, April 2d. There should be
a big list of entries to this stake, and every owner of a
fair looking trotting or pacing bred foal of last year
should see that it is named in the event. The crop of
foals of 1899 is not large. Breeding wa8 at a low ebb in
this State in 1898 and but few stallions did a paying
business. The chances, therefore of winning will be
considerably increased to those who do make entries. It
is not always the fastest colt of the year that is the stake.
winner, as the "phenom' in many instances has no
stake engagements. We remember seeing the Stanford
Stake won at Sacramento one year in 2:30, and the win.
ning colt was driven out to the last bit of speed there
was in him and distanced his field at that in the first
heat. We heard a half dozen owners remark thereupon
that had tbey kept their payments up on colts they had
entered, the race would not have been won in any such
slow time as 2:30. The important step toward winning
a stake is to make the entry. This must be done and
then if the colt is cared for and trained carefully the
chances are in favor of his getting money out of it if he
goes to the post. The guaranteed amount of the Pacific
Breeders Futurity is $3000 and it is divided between the
trotters and pacers at two and three years old. The full
conditions of the stake are set forth in our advertising
columns, which we ask all horse owners to peruse and
make as many entries as possible and make them in
time.

HORSEMEN, IT'S UP TO YOU— The Northern
District, in which are the good towns of Colusa, Willows.
Red Bluff, Chico and Woodland, announces its pro-
gram of races for the fairs of 1900 in this issue of the
Breeder and Sportsman. The first four associations
named have combined and taken nearly a page to make
their announcements. District No. 40, which is at
Woodland, takes a big space to itself as its classes and
purses are a little different from the others. There is
good money at all of them. The classes seem to be well
arranged and the purses are indeed liberal — much larger
than have heretofore been given on the Northern circuity
There are four nomination purses of $1000 each at*
each of the towns of Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff and
Chico. They are for the 2:40 and 2:25 trotters, and the
2:30 and 2:20 pacers. The purses for named horses
are not quite so large, but $500 and $600 are the
amounts. At Woodland the nomination purses are $750
each and are for 2:13 and 2:24 class trotters and 2:14
and 2:25 class pacers, while the purses for named horses
run from $500 to $700 each for the aged classes. There
is a big pile of money to be won with a ^ood horsevbn
the Northern circuit this year. These district assagjj^
tions have done their part — arranged their programs and
"done their level best" to have them so as to do the
most good-to the greatest number. Horsemen, it is now
up to you. If these purses and stakes fill well the
success of the California circuit of 1900 will be assured.
Every trainer and owner now has a duty to perform. It
is to get in and boost the fairs and the horse business to
the best of their ability. If you own a horse that is not
provided for in any of the programs, don't kick, but
advise your friends that have horses to eater them, or
what is better still, look around and get a horse that is
eligible. The prospects were never better for good and
profitable crops than they are right now ia California
and we all know that good horses are scarce and valua.
ble. The way to make them more valuable is to enter
in the purses and stakes liberally. Here is the oppor-
tunity. The Northern District Associations have done
their part so far and we ask horse owners to do theirs.
We are»c«tain their will.

THE CUTS of the great trotting stallion Tommy
Britton 2:08. and two blue ribbon New York carriage
horses that weie recently published in the Breeder
and Sportsman were kindly loaned us by the Spirit of
the Times of New York, but through inexcusable
neglect credit to that excellent journal was not given
and we take this occasion to give it.

circus and the theatrical managers know the value of its
columns and pay well for them, but they would gladly
pay ten times the price could they control the reading
and editorial columns. The first thing the managers of
a district fair should do after their entries are closed is
to take a big space in the advertising columns of each
county paper, and then see that the fair is boomed
every day in the reading columns. Every editor of a
local journal knows that a good fair helps to advertise
the district and he is willing to say so and say it often,
but he must not be expected to work for notuing. Pay
the county paper liberally. It is the very best invest-
ment a board of directors can make as it will bring in
dollars for every cent expended.

THE SPECIAL EDITION of the American Sports-
man of Cleveland, just issued, is one of the best issued
this year by a turf journal. An interesting feature is a *
list of the heats trotted and paced in 2:10 or better dur-
ing 1S99, and from it we learn there were 402 of them,
the same number exactly as in 1898. There were 65
heats, trotted in 2:10 or better, and of these The Abbot
2:06} won 25, his average time for all being 2:08 3-10.
Tommy Britton 2:0S came next with 12 to his credit,
average time 2:08 So-100, Cresceus 2:07} next with 8,
Peter the Great 2:Q7} with 7, Sarah S. 2:09} with 4, and
Lord Vincent 2:0Sf, Bingen 2:061, Capt. Jack 2:091,
Valpa 2:09A and Surpol 2:10 all with three heats each.
Of the pacers Hal B 2:04} led with 24 heats averaging
2:07 16 100, Prince Alert 2:05| follows with 16 averag-
ing 2:07 1-5, Searchlight 2:03} next with 14 average
2:05 2-100, Anaconda 2:03} ' next with 1* averaging
2:05 66-100, Billy Andrews 2:06* next with 12 averag-
ing 2:08 62-100. Joe Patchen 2:01} has the lowest
average — 2:04 84-100, and paced 11 heats in the 2:10
limit. John R. Gentry 2:00} averaged a little slower
than Patcben, the total number ofhis neats being 9 and
the average" 2:05 36-108. The pacers won a total of
334 heats in 2:10 or better during the year. Prince
Alert 2:05|, who holds second place with 16 heats, paced
11 of them on half mile tracks.

AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE -has been set by the
Board of Supervisors of Colusa" county in appromfetirjg
$700 from the county improvement fund to be used by
the Directors of the Colusa agricultural district in pay-
ing the expenses of holding their fair in July. Under
the laws of this State each county is privileged to
expend $1000 per annum for the purpose of advertising
its resources, and there is no way in which better value
can be secured for the expenditure than in making an
annual exhibit of its products. The State aid given
agricultural districts is appropriated with the same
idea in view, that of stimulatfug^ue dev(-lp«ne:it of
the various industries of the StaW Colusa f-ounty
is especially adapted for farming, stock raising)
fruit culture and dairying. It could support one
hundred times the population i> now has and the
annual county fair can be make to accompUsh^puch
to this end. The breeding of choice catfla if ihe
beef and dairy breeds, fine wooled and muttoSsl^ep,
draft, road and racing horses, can all be carried on in
Colusa county to perfection, while fruits and cereals find
there a place where they reach the highest develop-
ment. A first class exhibit of all these products will in-
duce more of the land owners of Colusa to engage in
their production, and this will certainly lead to a divis-
ion of the large farms — one of the present great evils of
that locality. The Colusa Supervisors by spends >^&me
of their "boom" money for the districtfair hare taken a
long step towaru making it successful, and a successful
fair means the breeding of more good stqflbthe better
cultivation of land, with smaller farms and mon
better schools and a higher civlization.

IT SEEMS STRANGE to see farmers coming to San
JTraiftrisccfllo secure horses for farm wa£^,*but they are

this very thing right now and ourfcales yards are
daily visited by farmers who are looking for animals to
harvest the growing hay and grain crops •with. Any ,
good sound horse, that is heavy , enough to work in a
wagon or a plow meets ready sale at a fair price and the
only trouble with the market is that some owners are
putting too high a value on their animals though offer-
ing them for sale. Mules are also in good demand and
the prices range from $75 to $120 for good ones. Heavy
draft horses are hard to find and command top prices
and in fact the only horse that is not in demand is the
plug that can do no one thing well. A number of good
polo ponies could be sold here in San Francisco just now
at good prices, but they are hard to find. All aown the
line from the good draft .horse to the good pony, the de-
mand is active. Breeders>shoulcLtake notice of this fact.

Bore homes,

THE SALE OF HSftSES belonging to the estate
of D. E. Knight, which will take place at Marysville,
April 11th, is attracting a great deal of attention from
horsemen and there is cerlain to be a good attendance of
purchasers when the auctioneer mounts his stand and
asks for bids. The late D. E. Knight bred for size and
style as well as speed, and the 35 head to be offered will
compare favorably with the products of any stock farm in
California. Daimont 2:17, Dos Minutos 2:30, Lena A.
2:21}, Eula Mac 2:27} as a two year old and entered in
the Occident and Breeders- Futurity for this year, are
among the good ones to be sold. Send to William Leech,
auctioneer srsetarvsyjlj,', for catalogues.

JUDICIOUS ADVERTISING will do much towards
securing lor the district fairs of California this year a
large attendance. Nine-tenths of the people who attend
a district fair are residents of the district and the adver-
tising must be so done as to reach and arouse in them
an interest in the display of district products and the
races. The county papers are the veiv best mediums
that can be used for this purpose. Hanwomely printed
colored posters are good in their way and necessary, but
the thing to reach the men and women who will pay at
the gate is the county paper. Ic visits them daily and
weekly and in its utterances they have a faith which is
not placed in those of any oulside publications. It
gives them plain home talk and they know they can
rely on what it says. The patent medicine man, the

YOLO j°~*1_rY is becoming the mule mart of the
State, an^^o^ands of dollars worth of the byrbids have
been disj...j=c7""of there this year by the Woodland deal-
ers. Many consignments have gone to Honolulu irom
Yolo county, and this week a carload was shipped to
Guadalajara in Mexico. Parties in Kansas City recently
telegraphed to Woodland for prices on a carload and it
looks aB if Woodland is to be the mule centre of America,
and we suggest that a big premium for the beBt team of
six would bring out a splendid display at the coming
county fair.

A GENERAL MEETING of the members of the
Golden Gate Park Driving Association will be held at
the room of the association in the Palace Hotel next
Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock. As the race meeting
which has been set tor Decoration Day at the Oakland
Race Track will be discussed, it is requested that every
member who possibly can will attend.

The Winning Sires.

GROWING IN MEMBERSHIP.

From Sonoma County.

(American Sportsman.]
The mighty Baron Wilkes again stands at the head of
winning sires, his get having won in 1899, almost $30,000.
From the time he began to show prominently as a sire Baron
Wilkes has stood out as the greatest of money winning sires.
Wilton stands second, and in third place is Hal Dillard
whose get earned over $20,000. The rapidity with which
the sons of Electioneer are following each other as sires of
winning racehorses is most significant. Last season three of
his sons and one grandson took places among the sireB whose
get won $10,000 or over, and nine of his sons are amoDg the
sires of $5000 or over.

James £. Bell, President of the Snohomish County Agri-
cultural Association, Everett, Wash., has just bought and
shipped from California, two handsome single roadsters —
Hollywood, b g, by Woodnnt, son of Nutwood 600, is &
pacer, while White Oak, b g, b? Seven Oaks, son of Not-

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association is rapidly
growing in membership and at every meeting new names are
added to the liBt, wbich now contains those of the majority
of the prominent road drivers of San Francisco.

At a meeting held last Tuesday evening at the association's
room at the Palace Hotel it was decided to hold another
afternoon of matinee racing on the park speedway on Satur-
day April 21st, and with good weather there will be excellent
sport and a large crowd of spectators.

It was suggested by Director E. Stewart that if the brush
which now obstructs the view on the north side of the track
were cut away, the last half of the races could be seen by
spectators and the events better enjoyed. The brush is wild
and of no value as a beautifier of the track. On motion a
committee of four composed of Directors E. Aigeltinger7 F.
G. O'Kane, Fred Thompson and E. Stewart were appointed
to wait upon the Park Commissioners and request tbat this
improvement be made.

The race meeting of the association to be held at Oakland
May 30th, Decoration Day, promises to be the beet ever
given by the association ard there are already about thirty
horses entered. The second race for the O'Kane Cup will
furnish a hot contest this time and will be for trotters of the
2:31 class, the first race having been won in that time by J\
C. Ohlandt's Harvey B. The other members who will have
entries in the race this year say that the horse that wins it
this year must trot better than 2:31 to win it, and Mr.
Ohlandt is oi" the same opinion, but Bays Harvey B. will not
let a little thing like faster time stop him.

On the 26th of May the Breedek and Sportsman will
devote a large portion of its pages to an illustrated descrip-
tion and history of the Golden Gate Park Driving Associa-
tion, and will print many pictures of horses owned by mem-
bers, together with numerous scenes on the speedway, and
the many beautiful drives in the park. We will make this
edition a handsome souvenir number and have engaged a
special photographic artist to secure the finest collection of
pictures ever made of San Francisco's beautiful drive ways.

Death of James P. Sargent.

Scarcely a week passes but we are called upon to chronicle
the death of one or more of the pioneer horse breeders of
California. The old guard is rapidly passing away, and it
will be but a few years until the last of the argonauts of the
golden slope will have passed over the divide. James P.
Sargent died at his home near Gilroy, Santa Clara county,
last week, from the effects of a stroke of paralysis received
about a month previous.

He was born in Grafton county. New Hampshire, Febru-
ary 11, 1825, and had therefore just entered upon his seventy-
sixth year at the time of his death. He was thrown upon
his own resources very early in life, and in 1844 was at the
head of a prosperous business in Boston, later removing to
Chicago. In 1849 he and his brother R. C. Sargent, came
across the plains to California, locating at Weaverville,
Trinity county, where they engaged in merchandising and
mining, as well as purchasing cattle from immigrants. In
1855 they abandoned the store entirely, and the four brothers
— J. P., E. C, J. L. and B. V., settled in San Joaquin
county, where the town of Woodbridge now stands, and
went into the Btock business under the firm name of Sargent
Bros. They owned many thousands of acres of land in San
Joaquin, Santa Clara and Monterey counties. They raised
fine stock, including many well bred trotting horses. K. C.
and J. L. attended the business in San Joaquin county,
deceased was the manager in Santa Clara county where
the bred and owned the stallions Brown Jug, John Seven-
oaks, Quien Sabe, Jim Mulvaney and many high class mares,
and B. V.'s field of operation was in Monterey county, A
remarkable thing about their business, the brothers held
everything in common, never had separate purses and never
had an accounting among themselves until a short time before
the death of B. V., a few years ago when they divided up the
property, R. C. and J. L. taking that which was situated in
San Joaquin county, J. P. that in Santa Clara county, and
B. V. the lands and stock in Monterey county.

James P. Sargent was a man of marked business ability*
He was a Republican in politics, and in 1872 represented his
district in the State Legislature. He was for many years a
Director of the Santa Clara Valley Agricultural Society in
its palmy days, and served efficiently as its President.

He was charter member of California Commandery Of
Knights Templar, and was universally recognized as a genial
whole-souled man and a good citizen.

A widow and four children survive him — Misses Agnes
and Ida Sargent, Mrs. Ouida Green and James A. Sargent,
all residing at the family home. The estate left by the de-
ceased is said to be worth $300,000. It was for bim that
Sargent's station, between Watsonville and Gilroy was
named.

The late Gen. McKenzie presented1 his war horse, Kale,
to his friend, Gen. Augustus Belknap, when he left Texas,
with the stipulation that the mare was never to be sold.
Kate is now thirty-eight years old, and is said to be in foal.
A wonderful story, if true.

Petaluma, March 30, 1900.

A letter from the Rose Dale Stock Farm, Santa Rosa, to1
your correspondent states that the first colt foaled at the farm
this season was born last week. The colt is by St. Whips
and out of the bay mare Sister Eerline by Daly 2:15.

John O'Hara, of Petaluma, has sold his pacing gelding*,
Wave to Jos. Nightingale, of Cordelia, Solano county »
Wave is a son of Alcona Jr. and one of the best green horses
in the county. He can do bis mile in 2:20 without the aid*
of training and expert handling.

Another stallion sale was made here a few days ago. Geo,
B. Powers, acting for Colonel Frye of Napa county, pur--
chased from E. E. Peterson, the two year old half Norman
stallion Hi Hop for $500. Hi Hop is out of a Glory mare
and by imp. Lignette. He weighs 1310 pounds.

Ray Egan's bay mare Deana by Sidney, foaled a brown
colt this week by Seymour Wilkee 2:08£. The dam is a ful
sister to the pacing queen Lenna N. 2:05}.

I. Gutte, of San Francisco, purchased a black draft team
here Saturday from R. B. Smith for $275.

11 Saved," the prematurely born colt oi" dead imp. Trance
is coming on famously at the Ruinhart Stock Farm of
Senator R. Porter Ashe.

A novel case has just been decided in the Superior Court
of thie county. H. A. Wheeler sued J. A. Lancaster for
$5500 damages for injuries received and agony suffered by
reason of a runaway accident in which Wheeler, an em-
ploye of Lancaster, was bodily hurt. The pivotal point was
the determining of the disposition of one alleged vicioug
horse in the team. " Character " witnesses, both for and
against the horse, were put on the stand. The Court held
that an employer should provide an emplove with reasonably
aafe horses and equipment, but was not compelled to furnish
the very safest horses or best equipments procurable. The
uncontrollable conduct of a maddened or frenzied animal
did not necessarily indicate a vicious disposition. Judgment
waB found for the defendant. E. C. 8.

The Export Trade in Horses.

The report of the United States Treasury Department
shows a remarkable increase in the horse and mule export
trade of the Uaited States during the past few months.
The total export of horses for the month of January, 1900,
aggregated 4972, against 3372 head for January, 1899. The
largest gain is in the exports to the United Kingdom, which
leads all foreign countries with the importation of 3094
American bred horses for January, against 1544 head for
January, 1899. The value of the American horses imported
in January bv the United Kingdom aggregates $444,025,
against $203,290 paid for imported American horses last
year. The total exportation of American horses for seven
months ending January, 1900, compriee 27,286 head, against
21,436 horses for the same period in 1899 and 25,021 head
for the corresponding Beven months in 1898. A feature of
the export trade is the wonderful increase of the exports to
Africa, which, in January, reached the enormous volume of
4972 horses, against 24 head for January, 1899. The ex-
port of horses to Germany comprised 400 head in January,
valued at $69,350, against 691 horses in January, 1899,
valued at $103,800. For the seven months ending January,
1893, Germany imported 4317 American horses, against 1829
head for the seven months ending January. 1900. The ex-
port of horses to the Philippine Islands for January, 1900,
was 398 head, against zero for January, 18H9. The Hawaiian
Islands took 117 horses in January, 1900, againBt 32 head in
January, 1899. There has been a sensational expansion in
the volume of exports of American mules. For January,
1900, there were exported 5759 mules, against 538 head in
January last year. The export of mules for the seven
months ending Januarv, 1900, comprise a total of 22,264
head, against 4834 mules for the corresponding period in
1898, the former valued at $1,947,214, and the latter at

$431,732.

The Sulky.

T. E. Keating will not enter at Denver this year.

Searchlight 2:03} will be trained at Charter Oak Park.

Betonica 2:10n will be trained again this year and it is
expected will reduce his record.

Honob, full Bister to Melvar 2:22£, has foaled a fine bay
colt by George Washington 2:16|.

Lenna N. 2:05} will be bred to Directly 2:03} this year
She is supposed to be with foal by Star Pointer 1:59A at
present.

Eigna (sister to Maggie McDowell 2:21}, the dam of Dan
N. 2:09}) bv Sidney, is with foal to Boodle 2:12£, and will
again be mated with him.

Stjnol 2:08f was mated with Axworthy 2:15$ several days
ago. Mr. Shults says he has no intention of training the
daughter of Electioneer again.

W. H- Lttdltjm, of Goshen, has engaged Louie Banta to
train for him. Louie was at one time head groomster for
Budd Doble and had the care of Nancy Hanks.

A bon of Direct that will be raced next year is Director
General, whose dam is by William L., second dam by Mam-
brino King and third dam by American Star 14. He stands
15.2 and weighs nearly 1200 pounds and has trotted a
quarter in 32} seconds. Geo. Starr says this horse is the
fastest trotter he ever drove. Director General is owne-4 in
Kentucky.

The Manhattan Food Company has removed from San
Mateo and is now located in lis new building, 1253 Polsom
stree', San Francisco, where all communications should be
addressed. The Manhattan Food is certainly the best thing
for horses on the market, and has the endorsement of the
leading horsemen of the Coast. Bead the company's adver-
tisement in this issue.

Gaff Topsail 2:17J, the son of Diablo 2:09}, is making
quite a heavy season in the stud at Vallejo. His owner, Mr.
Edw. Kavanaugh, will rut him in actual training soon for
the campaign of 1900 and expects him to be quite an im-
proved horse. There are few hrrses that can show more
speed than Gafi Topsail and he will be a new one in Die bio's
2:10 list this year in all probability.

Empiee City track, New York, will be the scene of some
great wagon races this summer. Already fifteen cups have
been offered for horses driven on the New York Speedway,

Chaffin Bros., of Columbia, Tenn., have a most prom-
ising Brown Hal colt, dam by McEwen; second dam Bessie
Hal, the dam of Direct Hal, the $10,000 Villiage Farm colt.

The thoroughbred mare Alfarata, by Wildidle, winner of
many races at all distances during her turf career, has a
handsome colt by Boodle 2:12$, and has been bred back to
that horse.

Lenoba, bay mare by Mendocino, is the only California
bred trotter entered in the M & M. to be trotted at Detroit
this year. 8he is owned by Isaac L. Gofl, of Providence,
Rhode Island.

Mb. William Corey, of Manchester, New Hampshire,
who has been in California on a visit for the past few weeks,
will probably become the owner of May B. 2:16, by Altoona,
before he returns home.

Ed Connelly expects to leave Los Angeles in a day or
two for Denver, where the majority of his string of twelve
have been entered in the races by their owner, Judge Col-
burn of Colorado Springg.

Colorado Springs, Co!., will give a meeting for light
harness horses and gallopers May 30th to June 2d, inclusive.
This meeting opens the racing season in the West and pre-
cedes the annual event at Overland Park, Denver.

This is a season of the year when the trainer is studying
out what is the best riggiog to fit bis trotter or pacer with.
The Raymond chin check, the great W overdraw is the thing
to control pullers with. J. O'Kane has this check and the
price is $5.

Good ones are selling for high figures right along. Boy
Miller of Lexington, recently purchased for the Plant estate
the pacing mare Millie Thornton by Happy Conner, paying
$7500 for her. She is five years old and has worked a mile
better than 2:10.

The order of the meetings on the Northern Circuit is
Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico and Woodland. A week
intervenes between the dates of Chico and Woodland, but
this may be taken by Marysville. Woodland has the week
jaBt prior to the State Fair.

It is reported that several trainers will move their strings
to Pleasanton within the next few davs and help swell the
large crowd of speed makers already established there.
Among those who will probably take up quarters there are
C. E. Clark of Fresno and A. T. 8tice of Los Angeles.

A lot of trotting bred horses, the property of Mr. Smart,
a Denver horseman, were sold in that city last week. The
prices obtained were not high, the trotter Ed Winsbip by
Raymond bringing $210. The highest priced animal in the
sale was the mare Beilemuda which brought $315.

Frank Febgtjbon, who keeps the San Francisco Stable,
one of Gotham's leading stables, in West 52d street, is driv-
ing San Pedro 2:10] pacing and 2:14£ trotting, on the road.
This is the horse by Del Sur that was called the "hearse
horse," that Monroe Salisbury raced so successfully.

It is probable that there will be a good deal of racing to
wagon this year in the East, and it is to be hoped the custom
will grow in favor. For road work the modern four wheeled
wagons with bike wheels are so superior to the two wheeled
vehicles that it ib a wonder the latter are used at all.

The North American, one of the leading dailies of Phila-
delphia, printed a handsome half-tone of Jacob Justice and
his fast pair, Ottinger 2:09| and Jacksonian 2:13}, in its
issue of March 20th. The pair have a pole record of 2:18}
and are considered the champion pair in the Quaker City.

They are going some at Pleaaanton. A three year old
eon of Chas. Derby paced a mile in 2:13 Friday of last week.
On Saturday Irvington Boy by Nutwood Wilkes paced a
mile in 2:16, I Direct 2:13 worked a mile handily in 2:1H,
and Berlina, a daughter of Directum, trotted a mile in 2:17.

B. O. Van Bokkelen thinks very highly of the colt Col-
Carter by Nutwood Wilkes out of a Boodle mare, which Dan
Mahaney purchased for Maplewood Farm, New Hampshire,
when he was out here this winter. Mr. Van Bokkelen has
not pretended to drive the colt for speed yet but let him step
a quarter in forty seconds the other day.

The finest pasturage for valuable horses can be had at the
W. O'B. Macdonough Stock Farm near Pleasanton. The
feed this year is unsurpassed on this well known farm and as
it is fitted up with splendid paddocks which can be rented
separately, and has well built barns with box stall?, etc., it is
an ideal place to pasture valuable horses. There is no barbed
wire on the place and horses can be kept in any manner de-
sired. See advertisement.

One of the many equine celebrities now on pasture at the
well known "horse resort" Brentwood Farm, is the fast mare
Ventura bv Adventure, which was bred to Melvar 2:22i last
Sunday. Ventura has a very handsome filly foal at foot by
Secretary 28,378. The little misB has been named Sectura
and if there is anything in looks and breeding she should be
a crackerjick when she grows up.

The Narragan?ett track at Providence, R, I., is well sup-
plied with history of the trolting turf, as it was at this track
the National Trottiog Association was formed. George
Wilkes became king of trotting stallions when he defeated
George M. PatcheD; Jav-Eye-See established the 2:10 list for
trotters, and Honest George and Belle Hamlin's 2:12} to
pole, made in 1892, is yet the world's record for teams.

There were 794 broodmares named in the Chicago Horse
Review $6000 Subscription Stakes for foals of 1900 to be
trotted in 1903. Of these 55 were from California and they
were bred to the following stallions: Altamont, Azmoor,
Boodle, Charles Derby, Dexter Prince, Diablo, Iran Alto,
McKinney, Mendocino, Monterey, Nazota, Nutwood Wilkes,
Owyhee, Searchlight, Stam B., Steinway, Wildnut and
ZDmbro.

One of the best prospects for a fast roadster in San Fran-
cisco is the brown mare Heron a bv Soudan, out of a mare by
Tom Patchen, he by Geo. M. Patchen Jr. Hermia was
foaled in 1891 and was a natural pacer until Mose Hart, of
this city got possession of her when be induced her to take
the diagonal gait. She has shown a great deal of speed and
moves very much like that champion race and road horse
Toggles 2:09}.

A gentleman who has not the time to devote to a good
animal, owns a black daughter of Secretary which he wishes
to dispose of. She is sound and all right, ard is speedy
though never trained. Her dam is the thoroughbred mare
Pacbeco by Hubbard. Pacheco is the dam of Anna Belle
2:27£ by Dawn, and Anna Belle is the dam of L* Belle 2:16.
Anyone wanting a high class mare that is a good prospect
for a race mare should look at this one. Address " R. G."
this office.

Lottie Pabks 2:16|. Mr. T. J- Crowley's fast dauehter of
Cupid was sent to Ed Lafferty at Pleasanton last Monday,
and will again be in that experience! trainer's string. Lottie
Parks is a wonderfully fast mare, but last year was troubled
greatly with a spliut which made her a rather erratic per-
former. It was finally pin fired at the close of the season,
and the mare given road work during the winter months.
She looks big and strong now and should she meet with no
further trouble from the splint should give a good account
of herself on the California circuit this year.

The annual meeting of the National Horae Breeders'
Dealers1 and Exhibitors Association was held in the Grand
Pacific Hotel, Chicago. Several States were represented,
and the addresses delivered were very good, indicating that
an intense interest is being taken the country over in the
successful breeding and rearing of the market horse. The
entire Board of Directors, with the exception of the late M.
W. Dunham (whose place P. Hopley, L»wis, la,, was chosen
to fill) was re-elected, and the old officers, F. J. Berry,
President; J. 8. Cooper, Treasurer and T. Bulterworth, Sec
retary,"will manage the Association's affairs for the ensuring

B F. Rush of Soisun has been in this city this week and
has the same story to tell of the horse business in Solano
county that comes from other counties in the State. There
if a demand for horses which cannot be supplied. Mr. Rush
owns a number of fine broodmares and a few young stallions
by Guy Wilkes, Oro Wilkes and other noted sires, and is
breeding all his mares this year. He has bred quite a num-
ber to Demonio, the full brother to Diablo 2:09}. Mr. Rush
thinks the outlook for a good circuit this year in California
is excellent, and believes the harness horse industry will im-
prove right along.

Among the colts offered for sale by the Green Estate, of
Dublin, Alameda county, and advertised in this journal are
four two year olds that are entered in the Louisville Prise
$10,000 stake to be trotted in 1901 over the Lexington track.
These are all royally bred youngsters and worth training es-
pecially for the rich stake. Two of them are fillies and are
by McKinney 2:111, one out of Stemwinder the dam of
Directum 2:05}, and the other bred very much like her be-
ing out of a mare by a son of Venture. There are two colts,
one by Charles Derby 2:20, out of a mare by Piedmont, the
other by 8teinway out of a mare by Antevolo.

Geo, H. Ketcham, of Toledo. Ohio, in a recent interview
with an Ohio newspaper man said : "I believe that the year
1900 will prove to be the greatest year for the trotterR that
the turf has ever seen, and I know several horses that I be-
lieve are able to lower the trotting record of Alix 2:03j, the
present champion. My horse Cresceus 2:07}, never looked
better, and has grown wonder 'ully, and is at present bigger
and stronger than he ever wa in his life, and I am confident
that he will capture the stallion record this year. I drove
him a mile last year in 2:05}, and he wa° not all out at that,
and as be is young and vigorous, I fully expect him to be
the fastest trotter out this year.

One of the first foals of the season at Forbes' Farm is a
fine bay colt by Peter the Great 2:07}, dam Starlight 2:15$,
by Electioneer; second dam the great broodmare Sontag
Mohawk, dam of Norhawk 2:15*. etc., by Mohawk Chief.
Starlight has a two year old by Biogen 2:06}, that is one of
the most promising youngsters at the farm. Admiral Dewey,
the two year old by Biogen, out of Nancy Hanks 2:04. is
showing wonderful speed, and at the farm they consider him
the real thing. It is claimed that he can show as much
speed for a brush as any of the aged horses at the Ponkapog
establishment. As they have several that can show a two
minute gait at the trot, however, something should be
allowed for their enthusiasm.

P. Foley, of Oakland, is a great admirer of McKinney
2:11} and now owns seven of bis get and has sent two mares
to be bred to Mr. Durfee's great stallion this year. Among
the youngsters by this horse which Mr. Foley owns are two
of great promise, full brother and sister. The filly is three
and the colt two years old. Their dam is by Antevolo, sec-
ond dam by Nutwood and third dam by Alexander's Abdal-
lah. The filly is full sixteen hands and weiphs 1100 pounds,
and before being harnessed was led a quarter behind a saddle
horse in 37 J seconds. While she is large, she is not un-
gainly, but splendidly foimed and very quick and agile.
8he will make a fist trotter if trained. The full brother will
not be quite so large, but is alsj fast. He is entered in the
Louisville Prize for next yar.

We regret to announce that Mr. H. Dutard, the well
known merchant of this city and proprietor of the celebra ed
Brentwood Farm, the greatest horse pasture in the State, is
quite ill and has been compelled to give Dp his favorite
pastime of road driving. It is probable that his three grand
road horses, Chris Peterson 2:13}, Algregor 2:11, and Fanad-
ma 2:lSi will be sent East and sold at the Cleveland sale in
May. Chris Peterson is a perfect mannered roadster and
would attract attention among a crowd of good lookers, while
he is as fast as his record. Algregor is one of the best look-
ing pacers in the State and a good horse in his class yet.
Fanadma is one of the sweetest little mares ever hitched op,
and can brush a half mile with the champions. These three
ought to bring big prices in the EaBt.

The Horse World says "there is a very fast green pacer at
Ashland, Ohio, bv Azmoor 2:20.} out of the old time pacing
mare Lucy 2:14." This must be the brown horse Luron,
bred at Palo Alto and the last foal of the old mare. Luron
was foaled in 1890 aad Lucy died in 1892. She was a
remarkable mare. Her breeding was Dev*jr established, but
she had good blood in her veins or she would never have
campaigned as she did. 8he won twenty-nine raceo, mostly
of broken beats and the summaries of her six and seven beat
contests show that she fought for every heat. Lucy was the
d«m of Locyneer by Electioneer that took a three year old
record of 2:27 and of Chris Smith 2:14$. Lucyneer is the
dam of Minnie B. 2:25£ and Lucrativa 2:14J, so it will be
seen the blood of tbe old gray mare breeds on.

The Kentucky Stock Farm thoB speaks of Chas, Marvin,
and the item will be read with interest by many friends of
the man who drove nearlv all the best of tbe great or.es bred
at Palo Alto to their record: "Mr. Charles Marvio, the noted
trainer, is one of the most industrious men alive. One never
sees him idle a moment. He will turn his hand to anything
and can do almost anything well. The writer went to Ash-
land Park to see him one day last summer, and found him
in the meadow stacking hay. Another time on going to that
farm he found him plowing for a roadway. He keeps in his
room various implements for athletic exercise. He rises at
4:30 o'clock in the morning and spends the time before
breakfast in his cold bath and with his athletic exercises. He
is at work with his horses all day, and he devotes another
hour at night to his dumb bells, punching bag, etc., and
takes a warm bath before going to bed He erpys splendid
health and is "always ready" for work. The great energy
which enables him to go through this routine daily is one of
the things which has carried him to such an eminence as a
driver."

One of the best looking sucklings ever seen in California
is following the mare Carlotta Wilkes which has been sent
over to Pleasanton to be bred to McKinney 2:11 J. The
little fellow is a pacer and excites the wonder of the horse-
men as he wiggles along by the side of bis dam and keeps up
with her no matter how fast she goes. There are few colts
as royally bred as this one and few bred anything like him.
His dam is by Charley Wilkes 2:21 Ji a son of Red Wilkes
that has produced 2:10 speed. The second dam is Aspasia, a
producing daughter of Alcaotara, and the third dam a pro-
ducing daughter of Clark Chief. The sire of this little baby
pacer is Inferno, a son of Diablo 2:09} that is owned by
Santa RoBa Stock Farm, the owner also of Carlotta Wilkes
and her foal. There is another son of Diablo that raced to
a record of 2:15 under the same name, but this young stallion
was never raced or trained. He is one of the best bred
horses ever foaled. His sire is Diablo 2:09}, bis dam Ris-
cari by Director 2:17, second dam Bicari (the dam of Pan-
coast) by Harold, third dam Belle (the dam of Belmont 64)
by Mambrino Chief 11, fourth dam by Brown's Bellfonnder.

When Henry Titer was in California a few weeks ago
looking around fot something good in the horse line for his
employer, J. Malcolm Forbes of Boston, he visited Mr. A.
B. Spreckels' Aptos Stock Farm, and while there trainer
Tom O'Brien showed him a three year old filly by Cupid 2:18
that Mr. Titer asked Mr. 8preckels to put a price on. $6000
was the figure named and when Mr. Titer got home and
reported, Mr. Forbes sat down and wrote a check for the
amount and sent it to Mr. Spreckels with instructions to
ship the filly to him. The writer saw this filly in ber two
year old form and said in these columns " this one looks and
acts like a future race winner and is one of the best gaited
two year olds in California." Her dam is Gallata by Slam-
boul 2:07$; second dam Jenny (the dam of Hulda 2:08}) by
Bull Pup. Mr. Titer saw O'Brien move her on tbe half
mile track at Aptos Farm and she showed him ppeed enough
to warrant the expressed opinion that she could win in moat
any company when fully developed. Her sire Cupid han a
record as a sire that is noteworthy. But three of his gel
were ever trained, and they were all mares and made their
initial start Ust year. Each won races and closed the season
with the following race records: Venus II. 2:11}, Lottir
Parks 2:163, Psyche 2:171. There will be more fast on.
added to Cupid's list in the near future and the filly \
chased by Mr. Forbes will be among them.

THE NOMINATION STAKES offered by the asso-
ciations at Colusa, Willow, Red Bluff and Chico, and
which close May 1st, ought to receive the largest entry
lists of any like stakes given in California for a long
time. In the first place $1000 is the money hung up
in every instance, then the terms are very liberal, the
payments easy and they are all for what may be termed
in these days of fast racing — the slow classes. The
stakes for the trotters are for those of tbe 2:40 and 2:25
classes, and for the pacers the classes are 2:30 and 2:20.
The wise owner wbo has a horse that is eligible to both
races at any one of the gaits, will enter in both, as the
time of the winners in both races will not be very far
apart. A nomination onlv costs $10, and a month passes
before another $10 is due. On July 2d, when horses
must be named, one can declare out without any further
liability, which makes the entrance for those who
do not name horses only two per cent., and but three
per cent, for those who do. The starting fee is $20
more the day before the race or five per cent, in all
from those who bring their horses to the poBt. The
BREEDER and Sportsman advised its readers laBt
year that a 2:20 green trotter could win money
in California that season and here is the proof that
our prediction was a true one. Psyche was without a
record when the season opened. She was considered
one of the good things of the year and she was. She
started in seven races, won four of them and had $2500
to her credit at the close of the year. Her best mile
was id 2:17A and the majority of her heats were won in
2:20 or slower. Eleanor Ann won over a thousand
dollars without winning a race, and 2:19 was her best
mile. Lottie by San Diego started in with a record of
2:261, won three races and $1750 and got a record of
2:16}, but lott many heats in slower time. The fastest
mile made by a green trotter last year in California was
made by Sybil S. and Lottie Parks. It was 2:lGi} and
was a dead heat between the two. There are some
good green ones in training this year again, but the

owner who has a trotter that can trot three heats in
2:20 should enter him in every stake to which
he is eligible, and if his horse acts well and trots
that fast he will be a good money winner. The paceis
will have to go a little faster to win but we know few
horses with remarkable speed that are without records.
Some of the best will go East and the field in California
will thus be easier to defeat. The northern circuit is
one of short hauls and this will make freight bills
smaller. The tracks are all good mile tracks, and the
weather of the upper Sacramento is such that horses in-
variably do well there. The people are enthusiastic over
their fairs this year and there is bound to be a big at-
tendance at each meeting. The owner who fails to enter
in these stakes which close May 1st will regret it.

WOODLAND intends giving the best fair and race
meeting this year in the history of District No. 40.
There have been some great meetings held in the Yolo
town, so that the intention means that the new board of
directors have no small job on their hands. But they
fully realize the fact and are bent on fulfilling every
promise made to the horsemen and the public. As will
be seen by the program published in our advertising
columns the trotters and pacers are richly provided for
and a most excellent arrangement has been made to
accommodate all classes. There are four early closing
events which are for $750 each with liberal terms and
small payments. In addition to this splendid lot of
harness events we understand there will be some very
generous purses offered the running brigade and that a
special effort will he made to induce the best horses in
the State to enter for them. The pavilion exhibit
promises to be ahead of anything seen outside the State
Fair in California, while the live stock and dairy inter-
ests will be well represented. The Woodland Fair will
rank with any district fair ever held on the Coast and
if the horsemen want to share in the good things to be
distributed they must enter. The nomination stakes
close May 1st.

DON'T SELL your good broodmares but breed them
this year. There is a demand for good mares that is in-
creasing every day and the farmer or stock breeder who
owns good ones has his money well invested if he will
breed them to good stallions. O. A. Lowe, a Yolo
county farmer, received last week from J. C. Lynn, of
Pleasanton Hill, Missouri, a letter in which the latter
states that he desires to purchase two carloads of Cali-
fornia broodmares to weigh about 1200 pounds each
The fact that broodmares are scarce in the middle and
eastern states is well known, and Californians can profit
by the demand for horses if they will but take advantage
of tbe opportunities offered them. The prices for horses
will be higher next year than at present aDd it will take
at least six years before the breeders can catch up with
the demand. Don't sell your broodmares, but breed
them.

AND NOW TAR WEED, one of the pests, so con-
sidered, of some sections of California is to be put to
good use and made valuable as a forage plant. Those
who have seen cattle and horses colored black from the
nose to the eyes and from the hoofs to the knees from
the sticky gummy tar weed, will probably doubt this,
but an analysis just completed by members of the De-
partment of Agriculture of the University of California
proves that it has nearly twice the percentage of proteins
or fleBh-forming nourishment contained in wheat hay
and nearly 50 per cent, more than is contained in oat
hay. Cattle will not eat the tar weed while it is green,
but experiments made by L:>uis Bertch of Tulare, in
conjunction with the University scientists, show that if
the weed is cut and made into hay, stock will eat it
greedily and thrive upon it,

WILLIAM B. GODFREY, of this city, passed away
a week ago to-day, we are sorry to announce. Mr. God.
frey was an efficient officer of the California Jockey
Club and won hosts of friends by his affability and readi-
ness to look after the many details of an arduous billet.
" Billy," as he was familiarly known, was an enthusi-
astic lover of the fox terrier and from time to time
possessed a number of fine dogs, the progeny of which
are much Bought after by fanciers. He was interested
with Mr. ThoB. H. Williams, Jr., in the California
Jockey Club Kennels. He had been in failing health
for a long time past until tuberculosis and its attendant
fatal results finally brought a young and eBteemed life
to its earthly journey's end. Mr. Godfrey is survived
by his widow; he was a native of New Jersey and thirty-
five years of age.

THE GLENN RANCH, comprising very nearly fifty
thousand acres of land in Glenn county, California, is to
be cut up and offered for sale at from $10 to $35 per
acre. Nothing could be done which would advance the
prosperity of that locality more than this. The land is
excellent for farming, and will raise almost any crop
that can be raised in California. There ought to be
five hundred families located on the property within a
year after it is put on the market. A half million sacks
of grain have been harvested on this celebrated ranch
in one year.

WE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT of two valuable
publications, "The Horse Breeders Guide and Hand
Book" and "The Thoroughbred Horse," by S. D. Bruce
and published at the oflice of the Turf, Field and Farm,
New York. The tabulated pedigrees of America's
native and imported stallions contained therein are in-
valuable to the compiler of pedigrees and are in them-
selves a stud book wherein can be found the ancestors of
nearly every thoroughbred horse in this country.

THE LAST MEETING of the season at Tanforan
Park will begin Monday next. The program of races
for the two weeks has been arranged with a view to mak-
ing them as high class as possible and the public can be
assured that the last racing of the season at this beauti-
ful track will be well worth attending.

A GENERAL MEETING of the Golden Gate Park
Driving Association will be held at its rooms in the
Palace Hotel next Thursday evening, April 10th. There
is some very important business to transact and every
member should aim to be present.

Affairs in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, April 4, 1900.

Southern California is troubled very much lately with a
distemper among the horses. It has prevailed for the past
three months. About all the horses at the track have bad it.
Zombro has been very sick with it and yesterday was the
first time in two weeks that I have had the harness on him.
It will set him back in his work very much, so I have partly
given up the idea of going East with him. The only medi-
cine which gave him any relief and did him any good was
Texas horse liniment. I syringed his throat with one part
of it to ten parts water, and also applied one part to four
parts water externally on his throat. The way to apply it is
to put it on hot on a piece of flinnel. It should be applied
as hot as tbe horse can stand it. The flannel should ret-ch
around his throat from ear to ear, with two or three pieces
of dry flannel over that. A horse affected with this kind of
distemper refuses to eat or drink, as his throat is so sore
that it is very difficult for him to swallow.

Whisper, tbe dam of Z mibro 2:11, foaled on the 28th of
March a bay filly by Stam B. 2.11]. It looks very much
like its sire, and is the finest looking foal the mare has eser
had. I am so well pleased with it that I will send Whisper
to Sacramento next week to be bred back to Stam B. The
filly has a large star in the forehead and both hind legs
white above the ankles, like its grandsire Happy Medium.
I have named her Lady Van Nuys, and think she looks good
enough to step in 2:10 as a three year old.

Mr. A W. Bruner shipped his stable of [horses to Sacra-
mento to day. With them was the big bay mare Lou, which
Bill Donathan drove two years ago, and a big pacer by Nut-
wood Wilkes that is very speedy. There were a couple of
others in the string.

Gazelle 2:11£ was shipped to Buffdo, New York, to her
new owner to-day. She looked like she could step a mile in
2:10 tbe day ebe left, and I think sbe can win races id ber
class on any circuit It is remarkable bow Mr. Winship
keeps his horses in such fine racing form while roading them
to and from town in his two seater. He has all his horses
fit to race right now. They have been at the track but three
weeks, yet he drove Aster 2:12 last 8aturday a quarter in
30:) seconds, first eighth in 16 and last eigbtb in 14| seconds.
Mr. Winship weighs 215 pounds and tbis was Aster's fifth
workout since he brought bim to the track. He looks and
acts better tbis spring than I ever saw him. He should be a
great horse in Mb class should Mr. W. conclude to race bim.

Mr. Coleman, of (his place, bas a mare bv Red Wilkes,
dam bv Almont 33. second dam by Alexsnd.r's Norman and
third dam by Pilot Jr., that has a fine foal at foot by Mon-
terey 2:09}. The mare will be bred to Zombro, The crops
look badlv. There will be very little hay and X fear no
grain to speak of. The bright prospects of a few weeks ago
are gone. Yours, Geo. T. Beckebs.

Forte Wins the Four Mile Raoe.

The ThorntOD Stakes, value $3000. at a distance of four
miles, was run off on Saturday IssVand proved an easy thing
for Forte, who ran in the colors of Barney Scoreiber.
Twinkler and Ladan made the running for two miles with
Forte in third position; at the end of tbe third mile Forte
assumed tbe lead and won in a common gallop with the rest
of tbe field beaten off Potente ran disappointingly and
finished in fourth position. There were many who fancied
his chances and Piggott was blamed for laying out of the
race too far in the first half mile, which was run in one
minute flat. The real struggle was for the place money,
between Twinkler and Weller, the verdict going to Twinkler
by half a length. This is the second occasion on which
Barney Scbreiber has annexed tbe Thornton Stakes, Schiller
having been victorious in this event in 1897. Forte is by
imp Fortissimo out of Overture by Onondaga and was bred
by Milton Young at McGrathiana Stud, Lexington. He
was foaled in 189d.

A DAY AT PLEASANTON. g

Wonderful Showings Made by the Trotters and Pacers
at the Famous Track,

There is speed on tap at Pleasaoton these days and some
of it ia ol the genuine championship variety with the brand
•'blown in the bottle." The editor of the Bbeedeb and
Sportsman saw some of it last Saturday and was not only
highly entertained with the performances but surprised that
horses should be ao far advanced at this time aBto make such
remarkable showings.

There were quite a number of distinguished visitorB at the
track, and among othera we noticed Mr. A. B. Gwathmey of
New York, President of the celebrated Road Club of that
citv, A. Ottinger aod J. Hastings of 8an Francieco, Col. J.
C. Kirk patrick of the Palace Hotel, Chas. Griffith of San
Francisco, J. Galleagos, Esq., of Mission San Juse, 8. H.
Crane of Torlock and many othera. Nearly every visitor
held a watch on the colta as they were given fast quarters,
halves or miles, and they can verify the figurea that will be
here given of the trials made tbat day.

No more perfect day for fast work was ever eeen in the
beautiful valley where the famed track ia located, scarcely a
breath of air stirring, and theaun beaming with a warmth
that brought out "a scrape" after little work. The writer
was unfortunate in not being present the day previous when
a three year old eon of Chas. Derby paced a mile in 2:13 flat,
but we saw some great performances as it waa. Thia wonder-
folly apeedy three year old is in T. E; Keating's string and
was driven by John Blue. The picture of him which ap-
pears on our front page doea not do the colt juBtice, for he is
tmly a grand looker and has every appearance of a high
class race horse. He iB a big strong fellow, folly J 6 hands
high, a bright bay and with a wonderfully intelligent head.
He was led out of the stall Saturday morning for our inspec-
tion and Bhowed no effects of the terrible pace he had aet the
day before. His dam is Edon by Gen. Benton, second dam
that grand thoroughbred mare bred at Palo Alto, Emma
Robson (dam of three in 2:30) by Woodburn. Mr. Keating
told me it was not hia intention to have the colt driven so
fast, and thought that a mile io about 2:18 would be made.
He told Blue to take him to the half in about 1:08 and let him
come home ashepleaBed. Johnny got half way in 1:07, and
finding the colt full of go and lugging on the bit with a de-
sire to go a little faster, he let him step and he came the rest
of the way in 1:06, last quarter in 32 seconds and could have
paced in 2:10 that day if driven out. As Mr. Keating looked
him over admiringly he remarked: "I am in a quandary
what to do with that fellow. He iB snch a big colt and such
a good one that I am half determined to hold him over for
next year as I think he has the making of a champion.
That mile in 2:13 did not seem to bother him a bit and he
does not look ibis morning as though he bad made any extra
effort yesterday. Oabwood Park Stock Farm never bred a
better one in mv estimation."

"How about t* latawab ? " we asked. There are many re-
ports about his breakine down."

"Cjme and see bim," was the reply. "I think he looks
pretty good."

The stall door waB opened and we looked the champion
three year old pacer over. He is big and fat and in perfect
health seemingly. 8everal weeks ago Klatawah showed a
lameness in his near hind leg, and would not go straight. Dr.
Maeoero waa called to Pleasaoton and after a careful diag-
nosis concluded the lameness came from a soreness resulting
from a strain of the muBcles of the hip. He put a aeton in
perpendicularly, Btarting near the top of the hip and coming
out at least twelve inchea from the point of entrance. It is
now entirely healed and the Doctor thinka it has accom-
plished the desired result. Klatawah naturally tcok en a
good deal of flesh while he got no work, but looks in grand
form to begin work on. "We are going to give him a slow
heat pretty soon and J want you to watch him carefully and
say just what you think of him," eaid Mr. Keating. He
waa hitched op and Blue got up behind him. After a pre-
liminary jog and a c ol out. Keaiiog said: "Let him step a
mile somewhere between 2:25 and 2:30, Johnny."

With Millard Sanders op behind Princess Derby, a hand-
some black mare, to work with him, Blue drove out and
they made the circle. Klatawah moved like a piece of
machinery, and he goes like "the beat gaited pacer ever seen
on a race track," ae Keating claims he ib. They made the
mile in 2:27 and were let out the last quarter, makiDg it in
32} seconds. Of course, Klatawah is too fat to be given any
hard work as yet, and he is going to be handled very care-
folly uotil he ia ready, bat there does not seem to be a thing
the matter with him and the stories about his break down
have been greatly exaggerated. He is such a grand looking
horse in his five year old form, and his gait is so near per-
fection that one iB much inclined to believe Millard danders'
prediction that there is not a pacer in America can beat him
if be stays right. It is the wish of every true lover of the
horse that he may and that the two-minute mark may be
reached by him this year.

Blue came out in a sulky to which I Direct 2:13 was
hitched. They have given him bis work with the hopples
and he was moving like a real pacer. After a couple of plow
warming up heats, Keating told Blue to see if I Direct could
pace to his record. He has been given road work all winter
and looks in racing condition. The handsome little black
fellow marched around the track as nicely as any pacer ever
did, going perfecily straight aod makiDg no mistakes. He
was at the half in 1:06 and the remark went up that he
would stop some coming home, as it is too early to expect
horses to beat their records in March. But I Direct did not
stop. He came faster and the last half io 1:05$ gave bim a
mile in 2:11 J aod cauped the eves of the visitors to open and
the "regular*" to exclaim: "Tbat horap U liable to get a
mark of 2:05 this year." Mr. Charles F. K«pp, his owner,
has about a thousand friends here in San Francisco who hnpe
the handsome sou of Direct will reach tbat record, and if he
does — well, "there'll be a hot time in the old town."

Anaconda, as will be Been by the picture on oar front page,

which was taken last Saturday, is looking big and strong, and
as he never had anything the matter with him in his life,
unless a half hour or so of colic can be called sickness, there
;s no reason why he should not still further reduce his
record this year. He goes with two ounces less on each foot
this season, having five ounces in front and seven behind,
where last year he carried 7 and 9 respectively. There will
be heats in 2:02 or better when he is cloae pressed in a race.

It bad been given out tbat J. M. Alviso would give Ber-
tina, the five year old daughter of Directum 2:05$, a trial,
and the Green brothers who own her, were there to see it.
From what she had shown in the few weeks' work she had
been given, a mile in 2:20 was the guees of the horsemen at
the track, but Mr. Alviso had no trouble io drivicg her the
mile in 2:17 flat. All he had to do waB to sit still and let
her go. Here is a mare that is good for 2:10 this year sure
if she meets with no accident. She ia good gaited, a square
trotter, needs few bootB aod has a world of Bpeed, besides
being game ae a pebble. Messrs. Green were highly congratu-
lated on the performance. The photograph on our front
page was taken just after sbe had made the fast mile.

There are six grand youngsters by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16$
in Wm. Cecil's Btring at the track and they are all showing
Bpeed. Mr. Cecil drove Irvington Boy a mile in 2:15, the
last quarter at a 2:08 gait. This colt gives promise of being
a lightning pacer and he will enter the 2:10 list sure this
year.

As grand a looking colt as there is in California is one
pictured in oar front page group this week. He is by
Nutwood WilkeB 2:16$, dam by Director, and grandam Lida
W. 2:18$ by Nutwood, the dam also of Nutwood Wilkes.
He is a two year old and has the making of a very fast horse.
He can show very fast now, and will be prepared for the big
Futurity stakes in the East next year, being entered in
several.

Tbe get of Nutwood Wilkes are attractiog great attention
all over California. Bob Ingersoll, ooe of hiB colls out of a
mare b? Albert WM trotted a mile in 2:19$ at tbe Pieasanton
track last Friday, and made the last half in 1:05$. He is a
green four year old and one that will do to watch, no matter
in what company he starts in.

There is a green pacer by Nutwood Wilkes owned by Mr.
A. W. Bruner of Sacramento, which baa been in trailing at
the Los Angelea track for the past few weeks, but has lately
been shipped to Sacramento. He is full Bixleen hands, and
weighs 1150 pounds. He wears no boots or hopples, and a
few days ago worked a mile in 2:16, last quarter in 30 sec-
onds, and last eighth in 14$ seconds. $5000 was refused for
him recently. The mare Georgie B. by Nutwood Wilkes,
which Cecil ia training, is aleo showing fast. There is
scarcely one of this horse's get but shows speed of racing
quality when trained. He is getting a lot of high class
mares this year and will be one of the greatest speed pro-
ducers ever bred in California.

Keating tells me that the little champion Direct 2:05$ has
68 mares booked to him already. There are a lot of his get
at Pieasanton and some "awful good ones." The two be-
longing to Chas. Griffith, one out of Ban Bon, by Simmons,
the ether ont of Nola by Nutwood, are crackerjacks. Alviso
has a good one out of Kosita A. 2:14]-, and there are others.
It is a treat to see Cbarlev Griffith pull off his coat and get
into a sulky behind old Ferdinand the runner, and work out
with Bert Webster hh trainer, and sometimes with the others,
as he can't refuse them when they ask him. A mighty good
judge of pace is Mr. Griffith, and he can drive the old
teaser to perfection.

By the way, this old thoroughbred Ferdinand is a remark-
able horse. He ib about fifteen years old and we think is
by Kyrle Daly. Monroe Salisbury used to own him and he
wbb hitched with Flying Jib when the latter made her record
of 1:581; with running mate. Some of the boys say he
pulled Jib the last eighth, but those who admire tbe old
pacer dispute this statement. Old Ferdinand is still fall of
fire and can run a mile in two minutes drawing a sulky and
not take a long breath.

As will be seen by referring to our front page agaiD,
Addison 2:11 J is looting pretty well, thank you. He is all
right and is moving right, and we predict now that his mark
will be below 2:10 before the year is over. Ed Lafferty has
bim in charge. Ed haa a string of fourteen that is taking
his time during the hours of daylight. We were particularly
struck with a four year old fillv belonging to W. E Lester of
this city. She is by Kremlin 2:07J, her first dam by Robert
McGregor 2:17$. second dam by Baron Wilkes 2:18 and
third dam by Volunteer 55. On tbat breeding she cannot
help trottiog, and as ebe shows a nice way of going is highly
thought of

Charlev Durfee tells me that McKinoey 2:111; has already
been bred to 40 mares and this is a much greater number
than he has ever before served this early in the year. He is
looking in better shape than 1 ever saw him and looks all
over tbe champion that he is. There will be lot more of
his get in tbe list this year and several of them will be 2:10
performers. Durfee is mighty sweet on the little yearliog
Cuate by McKinney out of Miss Jessie 2:14. Cuate is
"twin" in Spanish, and Cjate was a twin. The other died
and this handsome little fellow promises to be a worthy son
of illustrious parents. He will be entered in all the good
stakes in which he is eligible. Mr. Durfee's pacer Clipper
2:09$ by Diablo is a better looking horse than he was last
year and a faster one. He will get a very fast mark and
2:05 is not too low to place the figures. A big three year
old trotter by McKinney out of a mare by Robert McGregor
that looks like tbe pictures of Mambrino King, is developing
speed fast. He trotted a quarter in 35 seconds the other day
and iB improving right along.

Tbe Diablo's are quite Dumerous around Pieasanton and
there are some lightning fast ones among them. We saw
Johnny Blue drive a three vear old by him a mile in 2:20
and it did not seem to be much of an effort. S. H. Crane, of
Turlock, will probably send one down to Pieasanton that
has never seen a race track, but has stepped a measured
quarter oo the "cooDty road" in 31$ seconds Diablo is a
grand looking horse, as can be readily eeen from (be picture
of him which occupies tbe center of our first page this week.
He is getting a large number of high class mares this vear.

Al McDonald, the young man who trained and drove
Who Is It 2:10$ when be took his three ye*r old record of
2:12, got in from Sulphur Sprine Farm last Saturday with
aix head which he will train at Pleeeanton The grav geld-
ing What Is It bv Direct out of Lassie Jean, dam of Who
Is It, is getting into shape, but wan a verv sick horse this
winter. Directfile iB one of the largest and beat looking sons
of Direct we ever saw. He has not been worked for speed
any as yet. He would make a grand stock horse, as he is

large and an extra fine looker. A filly by McKinney in
McDonald's BlriDg looks tike a trotter, and he tells me ebe
is one to a certainty.

Little Thome 2:091, the pacer that Keating took East
last year, is back io James Thompson's hands. Mr. Thomp-
son intends campaigning him on the circuit this year. The
Hawthorne geldiog looks well aod although he has not been
speeded any as yet except for an eighth, has all of his old
lime speed and will be a good one in his class in all
probability.

The hardest worked man at Pieasanton Saturdaya and
Sundays is T. B. Murphy, the horseshoer. We caught a
snap shot of him as he was attending to Anaconda's feet.
Murphy was all through the grand circuit with Keating last
season, but haB concluded to stay at home this year and has
all be can attend to at his new shop on Golden Gate avenue
in this city. He spends Saturday and Sunday at Pieasanton
however, and now that the horses are going fast and need
frequent shoeing, the boys are trying to induce him to Btay
there all the lime,

Mr. Geo. A* Davie, the owner of Rey Direct, which is a
son of Direct out of a mare by Keotacky Voluoteer, owns
all the foaU by bis horse. Like C. W. Williams of Allerton
fame, Mr Davis believes in his stallion and has a corner on
all hiB get. There are seven all told and it is bis first crop.
Seven better looking babie3 were never sired by one horse
and Mr. Davis is justly proud of the little band of future
trotters and pacers. One is out of Mabel, tbe dam of
Directly 2:03|. Rey Direct worked a mile in 2:14 last year
as a three year old and is faster than that now.

We saw Mr. H. H. Duolap, of San Francisco, give his
Steioway geldiog King Cadenza 2:20 "three slow heats."
The first was in 2:27. the second in 2:25 and tbe third in
2:18$. Mr. Dunlap is an amateur driver, but is a born
reinsmsn. He coocluded a few weeks ago that he would
give his horse a little training, so took him to Pieasanton
and placed him in William Murray's care, but does all his
own driving. He says he will drive the King a mile in 2:15
and then bring bim borne. Tbe geldiog is the cleanest
going horse at the track. He wears no bools of any kind,
never strikes himself, makes no breaks and requires no urg-
ing but a word from his mas'er. He wears six ounce shoes
all around an' wears ibein ftvenly. He will make the fastest
horses in the Golden Gate Park Driving Club step to beat
him when be comes home, whether tbe distance iB a quarter
or a mile.

Millard Saunder's string, which he h preparing for the
Blue Ribbon sale at Cleveland, has several members tbat
will win races aod get low records over East this year if
purchased bv parties who will race them. That mare
Princess Derby is as fast a trotter as California ever pro-
duced for the work she has had. She worked oat with
Klatawah and came through the stretch with bim in 32$
seconds on Saturday with both drivers going ea^y and talk-
ing their horees back. She had worked the last quarter in
31$ a few days previous.

The good people of Pieasanton are contemplating holding
a race meetiog at the track this spring. Some are bo ambi-
tious as to favor offering the P. C. T. H. B, A. big induce-
ments to hold their meetings at Pieasanton, and avow that
the gate receipts would not Buffer in comparison with any in-
terior town in California. That Pieasanton is thoroughly a
horse town is certain, and every resident of the vallev takes
pride in tbe /act that it has been and still remains the birth-
place aod training school of more champions than any place
of its size in America. The admirer of a good horse can
fiod no better enjoyment than a day at Pieasanton — Friday
or Saturday preferred — as those are the days when the
majoritv of fast miles are made. The trip on the train from
Oakland is made at this season through orchards that are
brilliant with bloom, and fields green with waving grain.
The Niles canyon is looking its prettiest and all nature is
gay in her best clothes. No more hospitable people live
than the people at Pieasanton and though there is rivalry, it
iB generous, and they are a truly happy family, making the
visitors feel thoroughly at home and to recall the words of
Artemas Ward: "Never were we treated bo well — or so
often."

March 25th, of paratvsis. For over thirty rears he has been
a familiar figure on trottiog tracks of tbe United States. His
specialty was the management of mutual betting, aod in this
he had few equals. The firm of Bride & Armstrong for
years controlled or divided the betting privileges of many
of the principal trottiog asJOcialiooB of tbe country. Tbe
firm of Bush & Bride alflo managed the betting at nearly all
the race meetings at Washington Park, Chicago At tbe
time of bis death, Mr. Bride was a member of the firm of

Bride & Fitch.

Geo. M. Kftcham, of Toledo, will ship this week to
Louis Winans, of Brighton, England, the first pair of 2.10
pscers that ever went across the Atlantic to hp u«ed as a
pleasure team. This pair is Passing Belle 2:031, br m. by
Heir-at- L aw, and Merry Chimes 2;08j, b b, by Chime*. Now
if the Prince of Wales will order a pair of 2:05 picers (and
there is onlv one place to get them), the future of the Ameri-

land and WaleB, and oo the continent, as the American

The Saddle.

Cabbie C, the dam of Jean Beraod, has foaled a foil
brother to that great colt.

J. H. Smith, was the largest winners at New Orleans, and
the total of the purse& and stakes won by his horses amount
to bnt 17985

It is announced that Firing Fox will be at ODce retired
from the stud and go to France to the stud of his owner, M.
Edward Blanc, at Meautry.

Tldebim, a black three year old by Kingston out of Libbie
L., that is a member of Eugene Leigh's string, is snowicg
such high class form that $15,000 was offered and refused for
him last week. Ilderim raced pretty well last year but failed
to secure brackets. .

At least a thousand horses are quartered at the Memphis
track. Not only are all the tract stables filled, but all the
available stalls in the immediate neighborhood are either
occupied or promised, so that late arrivals will find great
difficulty in getting accommodations.

Mitchell, the lightweight jockey, who has been riding
at New Orleans during the winter, won the one-hundred-
dollar prize effered by the Crescent City Jockey Club for the
jockey who rode the greatest number of winners from Janu-
ary 1st to the close of the club's meeting.

SiLYJiB State, the good mare by imp. Cheviot out of
Bessie Shannon, and owned by Den O'Keefe of Reno,
Nevada, died last week. Daring her career this mare won
sixty two races in the Slate nf Nevada alone and was a
frequent winner on California tra:ks. She was foaled in
1891.

His Royal Highness, whose breeder, John Daly, pre-
dicts that he will be one of the best three year olds out this
year, is in excellent shape, and Half Time and Maiblehead
are in good condition and should be bread winners this year
for Mr. Dwyer. The stable ffill not make its debut until the
Morris Park meeting opens.

Judge Talty, of the Circuit Court in St. Louis, has de-
nied the application of Col. W. L. Cassidy for an order
restraining the Board of Stewards of the St. Louis Fair Asso-
ciation from denying him admission to the race track. Col.
Cassidy was ruled off the laitsr part of the meeting last sum-
mer for betting for jackeys.

The senior member of the noted racing firm of J. W.
Schorr & Son has retired. He leaves J. F. Schorr sole
owner of one of the mosi formidable stables in the West.
Several horses in the string are of stake quality and are ex-
pected to be prominent factors in the big events at Louis-
ville, Memphis and on the Eastern circuit.

Captain Hackett acd Fred Foster have dissolved part-
nership and Yellow Tail is now owned entirely by the
former. It is rumored that the value set on the half interest
in the son of imported Watercress was $7000. Yellow Tail
is engaged in at least one hundred thousand dollars worth of
stakes and will probably go East in care of trainer Fred Ed-
wards. Foster retains Sam McKeever.

Hot Springs, Ark., may become one of the racing centers.
\ movement is now on foot to interest Eastern capitalists in
a proposition to establish a winter race meeting there. The
undertaking will be a very expensive one, and is expected to
increase materially the business prosperity of the town.
Several Eastern capitalists have become interested in the
preset, and it is more than likely that they will invest a
large amount of money to make the thing a success. If the
proposed race track is baitt it will be on a principle suffi-
ciently first class to attract horse owners from the Eist and
the Middle West.

According to a dispatch from Louisville, a ruling of
great importance was made las* week by the Board of Ap-
peals, of which W. F. Schulte of the Turf Congress is chair-
mar. The ruling until now has not been made public, but
it has been obtained from reliable sources At the ^t. Louis
meeting last May Thomas Berry, owner aod trainer of Cherry
Leaf and a string of good racers, was ruled off the turf by the
Board of Stewards for refusing to obey a decision in the Clay
Poynter case. The latter horse, owned by Berry, was
entered in a selling race at $300. First mooev $225, was
won by Jimp; Clay Poynter was second and Nannie L,
owned by Watts, of Benson & Watts, was third. W. A.
Wright and Watts demanded Clay Poynter for $525, and as
the owner of the third is entitled to the preference in such
cases Watts got the animal. He subsequently transferred
him back to Berry. Then Wright filed a protest before the
Board of Stewards, alleging that Berry & Walts had been in
collusion to prevent the horse from ceiDg bid up to his real
value, which was something like $1000. The Board decided
in Wright's favor and ordered Berry to turn the horse over
to him. This Berry refused to do and immediately brought
suit against Wright for $50,000 when the Board"had ruled
him off. Subsequently, however, he withdrew the suit and
took an appeal. The case has been under advisement until
this week when the decision in Berry's favor was reached.
The ruling will be that collusion was not proved, but it can
be stated from the best authority that even if colusion ie
proved in cases which may arise atler this the decision will
be practically the same.

Flying Fox's Future Career.

Oakland Summaries.

A dispatch from Louisville, Kentucky, says that on
March 27th, Jean Beraud, the great Whitney colt, who is
entered in all the big Eastern events, this morning pulled up
quite lame after a gallop of a mile in 1:52 at Churchill Downs.
It is contended by Trainer Wimmer that the horse has never
been exactly right in the forelegs, but that warm work
always puts him in shape. Wimmer says it is just a stiffbess
that wears away under pressure, though it is likely to crop
out at any time.

If the black mare Imp wins any of the fprirjg handicap0,
the few reliable bookmakers who have laid prices ? gainst her
in future books will have to pay out considerable money.
She was made favorite when the future books were opened,
the price against her averaging about 12 to 1. Since then
she has been played steadily until her price is now 5 to 1,
acd in the Brooklyn 7 to 1. In a measure, the steady support
of the inhabitants of the town of Cbilico'.he, Ohio, ie
responsible for the gradual drop in Imp's price, for almost
every man in tbe town has sent a commission to the Eastern
agents to bet on tbe mare. The heaviest play on htr is in
the Brooklyn Handicap.

Ex-Assemblyman Dayid Gideon has not, as was reported
some time ago, engaged Jockey "Dick" Clawson to ride for
him during the coming season, and there is little chance that
any other owner has signed the boy. Clawsnn, who was quite
successful for two or three seasons in the East, has been
living well since he began to make big money, and his mode
of living has given bim a lot if weight. He has trained
severely all winter to keep down to the proper weight, but
nature rebels, a>d a day's rest sometimes brings him up to
125 pounds. The nice fortune which his success in the
saddle biought him has been squandered, it is said, and now
that he is ou'growing his usefulness a° a j 3ckey he may have
a hard time to earn a living at some other branch of the rac
ing game — N. Y Times.

Seventy thousand dollars has been offered and refused
for tbe great three year old Mesmerist, owned by A. Feather-
alone of Chicago. This sum, probably the largest ever
offered for an American thoroughbred, was made to Mesmer-
ist's owner a few dsvs ago on behalf of a well known Eng-
lishman Bnt Mr. Featberstone declined. He put a price
of $100,000 on bis colt. The Englishman who makes the
offer is known to be a baronet aud is believed to be Sir
Richard Mapes Blundell, tbe employer of Jockey "Skeets"
Martin. Sir Richard is well known to the English turf and
his fame has extended to this side of tbe water. Tbe success
of American horses and horsemen in Eogland in tbe last
year or two has given Sir Richard an impression that be
might look to America to get good material to strengthen
bis stable, and from various sources he has heard so much in
behalf of the Chicago three year old that be detei mined lo
purchase him. But he found he had to reckon with a man
who was bimpelf wealthy and a lover of horses. His first
offer was not even given a thought by Mr. Featherstone, but
the agent of the Eoglish baronet finally raised the figure to
$70,000, and at that sum he apparently has stopped.

The mails have naturally brought much more complete
details of the great Kinggclere sale than could be expected
to be furnished by tbe cable. The dramatic scenes connected
with the bidding on Flying Fox have already been described
by The Morning Telegraph's Eoglish corresDondent, and
Mr. Somerville Tattersall's compliment to the horEe's indi-
viduality will be accepted as quite as impressive an indorse-
ment of what Flying Fox's friends have written of him as
was the son cf Orme s tremendous selling price an indorse-
ment of the esteem in which we have always held his racing
abilities and stud prospects.

The future racing career of the great four year old ap-
pears to be at present somewhat in doubt. The general
trend of English writings is that the horse will remain with
Porter and run at Ascot, but in some quarters it is thought
that Kingsclere matters are expscted to prevent Porter's
keeping the horse, and that Flying Fox is more than likely
to soon go to France. Io this case it will prove that our
English cousins have seen the last of the son of Orme on
their race courses.

To D3 sure, he could be sent over to Eogland again for
Ascot, but it would be aa exceptionally sanguine trainer who
would be willing to "invade" Eogland with a horse whose
peculiarities John Porter had so signally overcome. On the
contrary, Flying Fox could be taken up by a French trainer
and given a ''prep" for the Prix du Conseil Muoicipale, run
at Paris in October, without running the risk of so direct a
comparison with Porter's work. Let us hope, however, that
Kiogsclere affiirs will so shape themselves as to fulfill M.
Blanc's desire that tbe great four year old shall remain with
Porter and rennd out the measure of his career by a triumph
in the Ascot Cup.

Flying Fox's stud fee for 1901, which M. Blanc has an-
nounced as 400 guineas, is being quite geuerallv considered
as a "tie with St. Simon's record figure." This is hardly
correct, although I do not attempt to disprove it by reference
to St. Blaise's $2500 advertised fee in 1892, for I doubt if that
fee was really obtained for the horse'd full book. Even if
this were so, it would not now constitute the record, for St.
Simon'B fee has this year been advanced tn no less than 600
guineas ! This is no sort of a cloud upon Ftving Fox, how-
ever, and bis fee is at lea6t a record io ihe fact that it is the
highest ever asked for the services of a thoroughly untried
stallion.

M. Blanc, although having a very large collection of
broodmares of high lineage and individuality for whom
Flying Fox might well be reserved as a private stallion, dis-
plays commendable judgment in announcing his williognes
to have the horse serve a limited number of Eoglish mare
in 1901, lor it is rarely that a stallion fiods a sufficient num8
ber of suitable mares in any one stud to have it con idertd-
as a genuine opportunity for him.

M. Blanc cs.n have but little difficulty in filling Flyirg
Fox'b book, for the horse's dash and stamina seem splendidly
calculated to aid him in his stud career, and our Eoglish
cousins' appreciation of tbis is shown by the fact that it is
understood M. Blanc has offers lor something like a dczen
subscriptions on the day after the purchase.

It is directly stated tbat Mr. R. A. Brice, the breeder of
Forfarshire, secured two subscriptions on tbe very c*ay cf
(he sale, and naturally Mr. Brice is credited with the inten-
tion of sending Forfarshire's dam to the horse. If so, the
alliance would be a remarkable accentuation of Flving Fox's
alread? tremendous intensification of Blacklock, for the mare
St. Elizabeth is by St. Simon, sod of Galopinand full brother
to Or ma's dam. Flying Fox's dam heiog also by Galopin,
we would have three close lines of this horse — a somewhat
risky procedure, one would say at first thought. St. Eliza-
beth's dam was by Uncap, son of Slockwell, however, bo this
would furnish a nice return of Flyiog Fox's male line.

Flying Fox would seem likely to be almost ideally suited
by what may be somewhat vaguely termed Musket mares,
but it is likelv that bis most successful cross in France will
be with the Flying Dutchman blood, of which there is so
marked a representation io that country. The Voltigeur
blood there should also be obvio'islv suitable for him, ex-
cept when it causes inbreediug too closely with light side
strains, and had Flying Fox ccme to this country he would
have found a very nice affioilv in daughters of Billet or
mares by sons of Billet — M. H. Kowe in X. Y. Telegraph.

LIED ABOUT IT.

Game Association Maliciously Misrepresented.

"Fresno, Cal., April 2, 1800
Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Dear Sir: Tour article headed
'A Belgian Hare Folly* in this week's edition came to my notice. I
enclose yon a clipping from the 'Republican' that appeared the nest
day which undoubtedly escaped your notice. I think you should in
Justiee to oar organization make us appear right in the matter as
your article will do us untold injury. By giving this your kind at-
tention you will oblige, Yours truly,

W. C. Kesnbdy.

" ad item appeared iu the Republican yesterday stating that the
Executi re Committee of the Fresno Game Protective Association
had decided to import 100 pairs of Belgian hares to turn loose iu
the county at large. The item was inserted at the request of Sam
Thompson, one of the members of the association, who stated that
a meeting had been held Monday evening and furnished the par-
ticulars in regard to the purchase of hares from a Los Angeles firm.
Inasmuch as the proceedings of the Executive Committee are only
quasi public in their nature, reporters must, to a great extent, rely on
reports furnished them by members who were in attendance.
Thompson being a member in g'>od standing the reliability of the
information voluntarily given by him was not questioned, especially
as he requested to have it published.

It app ars, however, that the report was wholly untrue. No meet-
ing of the association took place as stated by Thompson and no one
but himself ever dreamed of importing the Belgian hares. Justice
St. John, Game Warden Ferguson and others who built up the asso-
ciation and take a pride in its work, were justly Indignant yesterday
over the manner in which Thompson bad made use of the organiza-
tion to deceive the public. The item attracted considerable attention
and the Game Association received unmerited criticism as a result
of it."

The foregoing communication and a capping from the
Fresno Republican with the above caption was received
earl7 this week. We are extremely pleased to be in a posi.
tiOQ now to shed the light of troth upon the matter. In oar
article of last week we questioned the seriousness of the
alleged action proposed and find that the statement com-
mented upon was published in good faith bv the Fresno
paper but the source of prior information was, it seems, un-
reliable, for what purpose tiie statement was made we are at
a loss to account for. The Fresno Game Protective Associa-
tion is known to us as an organization of intelligent gectle-
menaod sportsmen, adverse comment and criticism naturally-
followed the publication of the article which It seems has
undeservedly placed the club in such a wrong light before
the public.

We lru9t that* the abave without farther comment may
have the effact of placing criticism where it undoubtedly
belongs:

At the Traps.

The traps on the Association grounds at Ingleside were
kept basy last Sunday by both live bird and blue rock
shooters who turned oat in force notwithstanding the wet
and stormy weather.

The California Wing Club members held the second
monthly shoot of this year under conditions that tried their
skill and staying qualities to an extreme degree. A high
south wind and heavy rain squalls caused ragged scores for
several of the experts. The pigeons were strong and epeedy
and although a number were killed clean, the strong wind
carried tbem beyond the digs, one bird was dropped on the
ground, kilhd outright, withio ten yards of the line, but was
blown outside before it could be retrieved. Id the afternoon
the weather moderated somewhat and scores were correspond-
ingly better. In the club medal shoot the only straight score
was made by Clarence A. Haight, who also killed straight
in shooting up a back score. This for the present placeB
Mr. Haight in the lead for the medal. L. D. Owens and A.
Jackson with scores of eleven each shot very welt. 8ix
scores of ten birds each were also made. Under the cir-
cumstances but thirty birds lost out of 180 trapped, with
twelve men shooting, is a very creditable record for the day.
The complete scores in the club race are the following:

Haight, C. A 22222 22222 22-12 Jusllos. H 22222 0"222 22-10

After the club race, six bird pools were in order, in the
first one Joe Sweeney made the only straight score, the re-
sults were the followirg :

Union Gun Club members and visiting shooters at Ingle-
side grounds last Sunday bad frequently the rather meagre
satisfaction of shooting holes through the air in an attempt
to smash an incoming blue rock, the targets all the forenoon
taking many erratic flights when the south wind or rain
squalls swept across the shooting field.

The shooters managed to dispose of over 5000 targets de-
spite the bad weather. In the regular club race the pcol
wrs divided by Forster first money, Peterson second money,
''Jones" and Fisher third money and Wollam fourth money.
First honors in tbe handicap race fell to Edg. Forster, who
holds the trophy for the current month. For second trophy
Bob Liddle was high man after Bhooting off a tie with Pis*ni
and Michelssen. The scores in the club races during the
day follow :

The ioitial event of the Grand American Handicap, the
Inter-State Park Introductory at eight birds, $5 entrance,
was opened by Frank S. Parmalee, the first man up, followed
by ninety-nine other shooters. Twenty-four men killed
straight and divided the purse. Clarence C. Nauman was
with the winners. Four seta of traps were in use. In the
Nitro Powder Handicap on the second day, sixteen men had

J. A. R. Elliott has been defeated in 100 live bird matches
three times recently. On March 22nd Rolla O. Heikes won
the Cast Iron medal in a match near Yardville, N. J. The
shooters tied on a score of 91 out of 100. Heikes won on
the shoot off at twenty-five birds by a score of 22 to 21.
This was the second race between these experts, Elliott won
the trophy last year, the score beiog 95 to 94.

In a 100 bird race with Fred Gilbert at Dexter Park on
the 29th inst. for the Baltimore Trophy, Gilbert won by a
margin of three birds, the scores were 99 to 96. Elliott's
latest loss was the Sportsmen's Review medal in a race at 100
pigeons with Fred Gilbert, the scores stood 97 to 93.

Mr. Elliott has issued a challenge, under the rules, to Mr.
Heikes for a return match for the Cast Iron medal.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

Grouse are reported to be plentiful near Copley; their
drumming can be heard in all directions through the woods.
These game birds are protected now by the State law, the
close season being from February 15th to September 1st of
each year.

Redding sportsmen are now on the qui vive for wild
pigeons, which are beginning to make their appearance in
the wooded hills of that district for the purpose of feeding on
the acorn crop which is prolific this year. Hunters who
know the ways of the wary pigeon are already having good
Bbootiog in the vicinity of Shasta. The birds are reported
to be particularly numerous near Copley, twelve miles from
Redding.

Our Petaluma correspondent advises ub as follows of the
passing away of an old time sportsman: Frank Timms,
known to every marsh hunter and sportsmen for a hundred
miles around, was accidentally drowned near Lakeville,
presumably Saturday night. Timms was a market hunter,
but he hunted rather from choice than necessity as he owned
a good $4000 ranch near Petaluma. He is supposed to have
fallen overboard from his hunting bo<tt in a sudden dizzy
spell The rumors of foul play were without foundation.
Timms was over fifty years of age and nearly all of bis life
was spent on the marshes. When he could barely toddle he
would trail along behind the duck hunters when they started
cfl shooting. He lived for the greater portion ot his life on
i, sloop where he enjoyed life in bis own peculiar way. He
•vas s dead shot and the records he made at wing and flock
ihooting were the envy of the sports and of his fellow
hunters.

The recently organized gun club at Ferndale will soon
have a trap shooting ground in order. They have leased a
small tract of land near Ferndale and will erect a comfort-
able club house and put in a complete set of traps.

The club has now a membership of thirty-six as follows:
FraDk G. Williams, Geo. W. Crippen, William H. Roberts,
M. H. Donnelly, B. O. Hart. C. H. Williams, W. F. Kausen,
Fred Cruickshanks, S. A. Ward, 8. C. Hart, C. H. Rumrill,
Ed Daugherty, J. C. Erickson, I) A. Francis, Cyrus Miner,
P. T. Early, Chas. Schreiner, L. C. Erickson, L. P. Bran-

Wm. Treanor, who was recently appointed constable by
the Board of Supervisors of Marin county, is likew:se a
special officer for the Society of the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals. While in the discharge of his duties he suc-
ceeded in rounding up a large deerhound, which wan found
chasing deer on the Boiinas Ridge- No trace of the owner
of the animal could be found, so Treanor took the dog to
San Rafael. It was redeemed by the owner some tim'
afterward by the payment of a fine.

This is the first arrest and conviction that has been madi
under a new ordinance of the Board of Supervisors which
specially provides against permitting hounds to run loose
during the closed season for game, and if the owners of the
captured dogs can be located they will be vigorously prose-
cuted by the Marin County Game Association.

The Lake County Examiner has the following prosaic
account of the killing of a grizzly: George Small, the
Silver Lake stockman, came down from the north this week.
Mr. Small recites the exciting adventure of a band of hunters
who trailed ''Old Grizzly " to his lair in the mountains near
Silver Lake one day last week. The age of this old grizzly
cannot be determined, but he has been a terror to the stock-
men of Sican for years. The hunters trailed him for several
days last week and finally found his hiding place — a cave in
the mountain. Dogs were sent in to entice him out, but
Bruin would not be enticed until one of the daring hunters
boldly entered the cavern and prodded him with a pole. He
dashed out after the hunter and as he emerged from the cave
a well directed shot dispatched him. He was a monster, bis
weight beiog estimated at 1500 to 1800 pounds. (7) The Ex-
aminer's Silver Lake correspondent will tell all about the
chase in our next issue. Mr. Small brought down with him
a claw and tooth of the animal which are of enormous size.
Creed Conn has the bide of the grizzly.

About Lures and Flies.

An inspection of the show cases of the two leading sporting
goods dealers on Sportsmen's Row will convince the angler
or novice that our dealers are up to date in their specialties —
new designs and styles of tackle intended to meet the exigen-
cies of local conditions and angling in different Coast streams
and lakes are there shown in great variety for striped bass,
black bass, steel head, salmon and trout fishermen.

The following, whilBt applying more to Eastern fishing,
will no doubt be of interest to our readers in many respects,
a discussion on tackle will always receive attention from an
angler:

Fishing tackle dealers are selling more of their wares than
usual this year, and, moreover, goods of a better quality are
being purchased by men who take their vacations beside
streams and on lakes. American dealers report large exports
of rods and reels to Europe, but it appears that American
fish hooks cannot compete with those of English manufacture
except in the finest quality. In the best grades American
bronzed hoons excel. Artificial flies made in England are
said to be a trifle better than ours. As to the lines, it is a
question as to which are best. The American manufacturers
have a greater assortment and in their methods of dressing
and water-proofing believe themselves superior. The fact
that American houses are exporting more and more of every
variety of tackle, except hooks, than England, every year,
speaks well for Yankee progress in this line, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean.

To advance the qualtty of material has been the steady aim
of dealers of late years. Every season shows that tackle lasts
longer under hard usage than in the old days. Every year,
too, there is something new to surprise the fishermen who
thought his outfit complete the year before. Last year it
was weedless bass flies — flies that would not hook on weeds —
for big bass fisbing in the West. The year before it was
extension leaders, tied with silk at the joints and cemented
and tested to stand pounds of weight. There have been
"fluttering flies" and compensating reels with pivots to turn
when the spool gets loose; The way rods have been im-
proved is also wonderful. One rod seven and a half feet
long weighs three ounces. Another of six ounces is nine and
a half feet long — twenty-four strips of bamboo going into
each rod, eight in ajoint — though the tip is no longer than a
knitting needle.

There was a surprise equal to that created when steel rods
first appeared. It was thought that the limit had been
reached in flies when the wings were put on with cement and
a thread of Bilk with reversed wings which could not be pulled
out. But now there is a fly book in which are separate legs,
wings and bodies. They are adjusted to ordinary bait hooks

from Nob. 1 to 12, according to the fish wanted. Each part
is tied to a bit of aluminum tube. The bait hook is separate.
The fisherman observes that the trout are rising to a little
fly of which he has no specimen. The real fly has grey
wings, brown legs and a white body. He takes oat a combi-
nation book and puts a white body on a hook; then he adds
the wings and legs of the right color, and then he fishes.

Mr. R B. Cantrell of Brooklyn, N. Y„ first thought of
this scheme. Like many other fishermen, he often had to
throw away excellent favorite flies because the gut was worn
out or the hook broken. So he tied a fly on a piece of
copper tube the size of a needle and slipped the tnbe over an
ordinary No. 8 bait hook snood. The tube was flanged at
each end bo the fly could not slip off. A good fly will outlast
several hooks.

The combination fly hook, with enough wingB and bodies
and tackles to make more than 2000 kinds of flies, even
though the fly is heavy and hard to handle nicely, cannot
but appeal to fishermen. How it will work in fishing is a
question.

The number of lures for trout and bass increases every
year, but artificial baits, except flies, are not well liked by
many save the lazy fishermen. Rubber frogs, minnows and
hellgramtniteB are the most popular artificial baits. A new
one is offered to trout fishermen this year. This is a mouse
covered with real fur, having bead eyes and a wiggly tail.
All trout fishermen know that big trout like mice and that
trout which won't take flies may be captured with a mouse
on a hook sunk into a deep pool. The new bait is being Bold
in every trout locality for early fishing when mice are best
and flies are of little avail.

Eor live bait many styles of hooks have been devised, some
of them to amuse greenhorns and others that appeal to the
men who know how to bait ordinary hooks to best advantage.
Some arrangements that would make good mink traps have
been put on the market — an automatic fish hook, for instance,
which is set off when the bait is nibbled. If the fish happens
to be poised right, gaffs will strike simultaneously on each
Bide and hold it fast. A new device for keeping frogs and
minnows upright in the water will attract more favorable
notice from live-bait casters, though it is as troublesome to
attach as a figure-four snare. It has a big hook with a fine
wire guard to keep off weeds; a little hook curiously bent to
hold the bait; a little rubber band to fasten the bait and a
sinker arrangement which makes the frogs or minnows dive
right side up and headfirst. It may be used for surface skit-
tering or deep Ashing, according to one's manipulation of the
red. This device costs $1 and is best used for bass and
pickerel, though lake trout fishing with it might be worth
while.

Some changes have been made in spoons, A greater
variety has appeared than usual. Combination flies and
spinners, fluted and feathered baits, are made lighter for cast-
ing and distant trolling. The kidney-shaped spoon gains
favor steadily, but the oval-shaped is by no means out of
service. Aluminum is used a little, but copper and nickel
are usually preferred for spinning baits.

Queer Fishing: in Jamaica.

A gentleman who has returned from Kingston, Jamaica,
tells how tbey catch " red snappers." All you need in the
way of tackle is a club, with which you beat a tattoo on the
side of your boat. This seems to charm the fish so that
they leave their native element and jump aboard in schools,
almost swamping the boat sometimes. Here is his account :

" I have just returned from Kingston, Jamaica," said he,
"where I saw many interesting things, chief among them —
to an ardent fisherman like myself — being the method of tak-
ing the red snapper, a large fish common to the waters
around that island. Soon after my arrival I heard how
the natives caught these fish by knocking on the sides of
their boats with clubs, which seemed either to attract or
alarm the fish bo much that they jumped out of the water in
all direction and many fell into the boat.

"In order to prove the truth or falseness of the account to
my own satisfaction I made arrangements with one of the
native fishermen to take me with him on one of his mid-night
excursions, all the fishing there being done at night on ac-
count of the heat.

"The moon was high when we started for the fishing
grounds, a couple of miles ontside Kingston harbir. As
soon as we got there my boatmon ceased rowiog and peered
round for signB of the fish. Suddenly he whispered and
pointed to a spot where the otherwise calm surface was
ruffled, as if but a sudden equall.

"Squall or fish, it was gradually approaching, and pres-
ently the ripples were all round the boat. 'Now, maBsa
Buckra, start de racket,' cried my boatman, at the same
time commencing a loud tattoo on the Bide of the boat with
bis club. T followed suit, and in an instant the air seemed
to be full of fish, coming from all points of the compass.

"One big fellow struck me in the chest and knoked me
flat on my back in the bottom of the boat, where I lay
floundering among the fish that had fallen aboard.

"It was Borne n omentB before I could scramble to my feet.
When I did bo the school had passed on and the flight was
over. At least a score of the snappers had fallen on board.
Tbey were large fish resembling a sea bass, except in color,
which, instead of being black, was red.

"During the night we ran into several more schools, and
the same performance was repeated, excepting that I kept
my Beat and did not again mingle with the fish in the bottom
of the boat.

"On the way back to Kingston I asked the darkey fisher-
man how they first discovered this method of taking the red
snapper. He could tell me nothing about it; all he could
Bay being: 'Him take dat way long time, massa.'

"I heard later that a Chinaman was the first to discover
that a red snapper could be persuaded to leave its native
element at the sound of a club applied to a boat's side, bat
how he found it out nobody seemed to know.

The grayling, after some twenty-six years of persistent and
immoderate fishing, has now become bo scarce in the waters
of Michigan as to be practically extinct from a habitat where
once the fish were so plentiful.

Many arjglerB were on the barjks of the rivers and creeks
of 8anta Cruz county on Sunday, when the trout season
opened. A carload of fishermen came down from San Fran-
oiflco. Although rain fell the anglers were not disheartened.
In a space of a quarter of a mile on the hanks of the Soquel
creek 500 anglers were counted. Oo the San Lorenzo river,
between Santa Crux and the Big Trees, were more than a
hundred fishermen. The CoaBt streams, BaldwinB, Eagle
Glen, Bonny Doon, Laguna, San Vicente, Scott's and Wad-
dells also, were all whipped by scores of anglers. Large
catches were in the two last named creekB But the largest
catches were made in Soquel creek. Deputy Fish Commis-
sioner Welch holds the record for the best single-handed
catch, in his basket being more than 150 trout. It is esti-
mated that about 3000 trout were taken out of 8oquel
creek Sunday. Those who used salmon roe for bait
met with better succeFS than those who depended on
angle-worms and sandfleas to tempt the fish, Near
the headwaters of Waddell creek H. Bradley and P.
Roberts caught 351. Other catches were as follows: F.
Stevens SO, O Bedell 96, D. White 63, C. Dennis 135, J.
Newlen 75, H. Liebbrandt 70, W. Hutson 136, C. Morrison
97, C. Klein 57, W Grantz 75, L. Gates 107, G. Whitney
and D. Davidson 175, G. Hamlin 38, A. C. Snyder 92, E.
Daubenbia 84, H. Green 70. Anglers say that the tront
have never bitten so well as at present. Out in Monterey
bsy big salmon continue to be caught.

The various streams of Marin county were visited by an
army of anglers last Sunday. Many anglers made good
catches despite the stormy and rainy weather. To Bos-
well Kenniff, who fished in the Paper Mill, however,
belongs the honor of having caught the largest fish dur-
ing the day, a steelhead twelve pounds in weight and
thirty-five inches long, which fought for an hour and
six minutes before being landed with a six and a half
ounce rod. The fish being the largeBt steelhead caught
on that stream for years is a record for an angler
to be proud of. The big trout was caught in a deep pool just
below the bridge that spans the Paper Mill near Camp
Taylor. The first and second casts into the pool were boot-
less, on the third attempt the fish struck the spoon and from
that time on.until the landing.a battle royal was in progress.
Abont fifty people, anglers, campers, bicyclers and outing
parties were interested spectators of the fight from the bridge.

Striped bass anglers are having moderate success in San
Leandro bay; W. E. McFarland, Jack Summi, Nat Turner,
Al Wilson and Manuel Cross have tested the bay recently, a
number of fish were caught, but the anglers have been much
interfered with by sting rays, a number of theBe fish, some of
them weighing eighty pounds have been killed.

The beach near the San Quentin postoffice has been a first
class striped ba6s fishing locality recently, many large ones
having been caught, boiled shrimp was the bait used. A few
fish have been caught at the Rodeo wharf. Frequently of
late immense schools of striped bass have been noticed in
Carquinez straits by passengers on the boats from Port Costa
to Vallejo Junction.

Fly-casting ie rapidly becoming a popular sport. There
are clubs now forming in Boston and Milwaukee and the
older clubs in Chicago, Grand Rapids and San Francisco are
financially and numerically strong. The tournament in
Chicago, on August 16—17, should be well attended. The
local clnb will send at least two members for the two-man
team event and it is quite possible that four or more will
contest. W. D. Mansfield, A. E. Lovett and C. G. Young
have already signified their intention of competing. The
two former would make a rare good team.

H. Battu walked from Liberty to the headwaters of the
Big Carson on Saturday and fished down to the Lagunitas
on Sunday morning. In the early morning before the rain
he caught a goodly number, but the rain soon spoiled bis
sport. On the lower Lagunitas and Paper Mill the rain did
not seem to affect the fishing at all. Every one caught fish
and some of them were one and two pounders. There were
not less than one hundred and fifty anglers on the Lagunitas
and its tributaries.

The streams in Sonoma county are reported to , be in ex-
cellent condition and teeming with trout. In the vicin-
ity of Petaluma many good catches were made on Sun-
day. A party composed of O. Schraner, M. Miller, John
Boardman, W. H. Schad, W. A. Cooper, Geo. Walker, Sam
Heller and Capt. White spent Sunday on Sonoma creek near
Glen Ellen. Walker made the largest catch, all of the an-
glers had good results on that stream.

Bench Show Notes.

Among the doggy men the absorbing feature of interest at
present is the Kennel Club's fourth annual show. The de-
mand for Premium Lists and entry blanks is unprecedented,
numerous requests and letters of inquiry are daily received
from interior points in this State and also from many fanciers
on the northern Coast. The fact that our show is a five
point show will undoubtedly induce Eastern handlers to
bring out a string of dogs. It is not beyond the possibilities,
that Mr. Frank Dole, a fancier of renowned bull terrier pro-
clivities will be seen here, the Belvidere Kennels of Atlanta,
Ga., may send a kennel of wire haired fox terriers, now that
a winners' class has been provided for this variety.

Teddy Roosevelt, a handsome bull terrier who won first in
limit last year, has been sent to this city from Lob Angeles
and will be seen at the bench show. The competition
among bull terriers will be a keen one; it is safe to Bay that
the best exhibition of this breed ever seen on the Coast will
be benched in the the May show.

Among the latest trophies offered is a handsome silver
cup, which Byron Erckenbrecher, Esq., of Los Angeles,
offers for the best bull terrier. Many additional prizes have
been offered since the issuance of the Premium List.

DOINGS IN DOQDOM.

"He's like some friends," the dog remarked,

As for the game he went,

"He'll stick to me, my owner will,

As long as I've a scent."

J. F. Kelly has shipped his young Irish Better bitch Nance
O'Neill (Pallet B— Nellie K) to Joseph Kelly, his brother,
at Loyallon, where she will receive a few months' proper

handling.

A meeting of committees representing specialty clubs will
be held in the office of the Breeder and Sportsman on
Monday evening. Preliminary details will be arranged for
the A. K. C. bench show in Sacramento during the State
Fair.

B. B. Canfield, a prominent lawyer of Los Angeles and
alBO a lover of fox terriers, who was recently thrown from
his horse and severely injured, we are glad to say has com*
pletely recovered and is now attending to business aflairs as
usual.

W. 8. Kittle will soon establish a kennel of field spaniels,
a handsome and intelligent field dog that has not received
the attention here that the breed deserves. Commissions
have been placed with Eastern kenn6lmen for two fine
bitches which are expected in this city shortly.

Mr. Harry W. Ramsay, of Phoenix, Arizona, is the owner
of a kennel of Great Banes that are looked upon ae cracker-
jacks in that section. He bas now a litter of golden brindle
puppies eired by a young dog he purchased recently from a
Chicago fancier, he iB by Max Carl out of Lady Wenk. The
bitch is out of Nellie B. by Tiger.

We note in our kennel registry this week the whelping of
a litter of fox terrier puppies, the dam is a smooth coat and
the sire a wire hair, both owned by Mr. F. J. Walker of
Lathrop, this State. Fox terrier circles here are much in-
terested in the results of the breeding, we shall endeavor
later on to furnish further particulars regarding the progress
and quality of the youngsters.

Kennel Notes,

lies in this, that it is apt, if not perfectly fresh and whole-
Bome, to overheat the system and cause skin complaint.
Although the dog by nature is carnivorous, we must bear in
mind that he has been domesticated, and that it does not
necessarily follow, therefore, that raw meat diet is the proper
one for him.

Amongst the most useful foods may be classed rough
brown bread, made by grinding up the whole grain of Eng-
lish wheat. This is not only very nourishing, producing,
too, bone and size when these are required, but it has a most
excellent mechanical eflect upon tbe system, and keeps dogs
in good health and condition without the necessity for hav-
ing recourse to medicines. There is a great difference, of
course, between brown bread and white breid, and we always
recommend brown bread to be given liberally to dogs of all
kinds and ages. 8ome dogs will eat it best as it comes,
whilst others prefer to have it soaked in soup, or broth, or
something similar. This, however, doeB not much matter;
the great thing is to persuade the Hog fancier to recognize
how valuable a food he has in brown bread.

Another excellent thing for dogs as an occasional change
of diet is boiled bullocks' liver. A good meal of this will
often work wonders on account of the gentle laxative eflect
it appears to have. We do not approve of the habit which
obtains in some quarters of giving unclean ofial to dogs.
There ie the danger of disease being present in such food,
from which it will communicate itself to the animal. In
these days of refinement the friend of man ought to have
reached a higher standard than that of the jackal and the
hyena. Boiled sheep's head broth makes a good basis for a
meal, and it can be thickened with crushed biscuits or hound
meal, or bread, or what not. It is most essential that the
dog should have a proportion of vegetables in his food; the
evening meal is the best opportunity for including these.
Large hard bones should always be at hand, especially for
puppies. Small bones, on the contrary, are best kept away,
because dogs are apt to swallow them whole, and in that
ca&e there is a danger that they will become fixed internally.
A great deal has been eaid and written about the quantity
of food which should be given to a dog. It is really impos-
sible to fix any definite limit, as so much depends upon the
individual dog just as the human appetite varies in individual
men. There are, however, definite lines by which a conclu-
sion may be arrived at, and one of the most important thiogs
ie to take care that food is cleared away when the dog has
satisfied himself. It is a great mistake to allow a lot of food
to lie about in front of the dog, and nothing ie likely to epoil
his appetite to such an extent as that will. Let the dog
have as much as he will eat undisturbed for a reasonable
time, then take away what is left and do not feed him again
until the proper time has arrived. Regularity is as great
virtue in practical dog management as it is in any other
sphere of work, and if this line be adopted it will soon be
found that the dog will look for his food at the proper time
regularly, and of course he ought not on any account to be
disappointed of his dinner at the proper time. It should be
remembered that the true lover of dogs is the man who seea
to their comforts before attending to his own.

Some great authorities have recommended butter milk for
dogs, and a very excellent thing it iB. Rice, which is com-
paratively cheap, may be boiled in it, and the combination
will prove an excellent general food for dogs kept indoors, as
it does not tend to the grosBuess which an ill-regulated, ill-
considered diet often leads to in their case. The greatest
mistake that is made with house dogB is the mistake of feed-
ing them with little bits and scraps at all hours of the day.
A dog treated like this very soon becomes a nuisance to
everybody, whereas if properly trained and taught to look
and wait, for the proper time of feeding, he will be much
more companionable than is the average bouse dog, which
spoils the pleasure of visitors by barking and jumping
round them meal times. Many, in fact most visitors, do not
regard dogB with the same amount of enthusiasm as their
owners regard them. It is not everyone that is born a fan-
cier, and if these who have no special weakness for the com-
panionship of dogs are subjected to the annoyance of an ill-
mannered cur which has been badly traiued, it is not likely
that their respect for the dog's owner will be increased, or
tbat they will feel any encouragement towards keeping a dog
themselves.

On some future occasion we hope to give a few notes on the
feeding of invalid dogs and on tbe best methods of raising
puppies. In the foregoing we have simply dealt with the
average full-grown dog. Of course it is useless to hold to
hard and fast rules. Every dog must be fed according to
circumstances. Nevertheless, the rule we have impressed
upon our readers holds good, namely, tbat regularity is of
most consequence. A dog in perfect health should always
be ready foi his food. If he does not appeal willing to take
it do not press him, simply remove it all and wait until next
meal time; if then he betrays an unwillingness, some further
cause may be suspected, and it would be well to watch less he
be on the verge of some illness. Loss of appetite is one of
the first symptoms of illness and mnst be guarded against.
Of this, however, we will say more presently. One word in
concluding the eubject. Dogs properly and sensibly fed
ought to cost comparatively little. If plenty of house Bcraps
are available, they ought to cost next to nothing. This ap-
plies to the average house or yard dog. Of course if a man's
fancy lies in the direction of the huge St. Bernard or New-
foundland, he must expect a little heavier drain upon his
pocket. — Fancier's Review.

A little common sense in feeding dogs counts for a good
deal in tbe matter of health. As a rule, they only need to
be fed twice a day, morning and night. Before each meal it
is a good plan to give a dog a hard biscuit to crunch up; thin
has a double effect in taking off tbe edge of appetite, and
thereby preventing food from being bolted; whilst at the same
time it has a most excellent effect in cleansing the teelh.
Dogs are very liable to troubles of their teeth, and especially
house dogs or pet dogs. If more attention were paid to the
state of the teeth, a great deal of the pain and unpleasantness
would ba saved in time to come. The natural food for a dog
is raw meat; instinctively it will take to that in preference to
cooked meat. The objection to raw meat in our experience

The organization of a Western Field Trial Association will
be perfected this week. Tbe association will include dog
owners from Minnesota and North and South Dakota, and
the promoters of tbe project expect that a membership of 200
will be secured. Field trials will be held annually by the
association. It is probable tbat annual State trials will be
made a feature of the association the experience of other
States indicating that the State meets are more popular than
the big circuit trials.

THE FARM.

Regularity.

The cow's stomach resembles a clock in one
particular— its machinery is arranged to mark
time; it is wound up to mark the feeding hour,
and it strikes that hour almost to the minute.
If the feeding time is changed for even an
hour the yield of milk will decline, and the
flow of milk once lowered is very difficult of
restoration. Regularity in feeding and in
milking are of the highest importance with
cows; the better the cows the more important.
It makes the difference between success or
failure, gain or loss. Select whatever hours
are most convenient, but when once selected,
adhere to them rigidly, says the Jersey
Bulletin.

Not only is it important that regularity be
observed in the time of feeding bnt it is
equally important that just the right quantity,
determined by the capacity of the cow, shall
be given. The ruinous effects of overfeeding
are quickly apparent. Persistent underfeed-
ing will also dwarf the productive capacity of
a naturally capable and profitable animal.
The approximate limit of each cow's capacity
to digest and assimilate food is a matter which
too frequently escapes the notice of most

dairvmen.

A statement by the superintendent of the
Alaska Commercial Company in regard to hie
company's experience with live stock at
Kadiak is of more than passing interest, be-
cause it reveals possibilities in the stock in-
dustry which are bound to be of much im-
portance in the future development of the
territory. The company has for many years
kept cattle, sheep and Angora goats on Borne
of the small islands near the town of Kadiak.
On one of these islands it was not found nec-
essary to feed or shelter the cattle at all,
winter or summer. Year in and year out
they lived in the open and were maintained
solely by the native grasses which are abundant
in all Southwestern Alaska. The herd in-
creased yearly about 75 per cent, of the breed-
ing cows. A flock of Angora goats increased
60 per cent, annually and gave very good
resultB in mohair. A flock of sheep has been
kept for the last sixteen yeare on pasture the
year round. The increase was something
over 60 per cent., and the clip averaged about
five pounds of wool per head yearly. There
seems to be no doubt that animal husbandry
can be successfully prosecuted in different

parte of Alaska.

Many dairymen make the mistake of feed-
ing alfalfa exclusively to their cows from fall
to spring and we are iuet now seeing the in"
jurious eflectin many cases of such procedure-

ure and will not consume enough food to
do her best in milk production or to make a
profit for her owner. Hence, we need some-
thing else than alfalfa and on the irrigated
farm it is advisable to grow root crops, sncb
as sugar beets, golden tankard mangels or car-
rots. More food value can be obtained uodrr
irrigation and proper cultivation from the
root crops than anv other. But when we
have alfalfa and roots we have not yet a com-
plete dairy food. We need corn to supplement
these and corn with alfalfa and roots make
an ideal ration for a dairy herd — Denver

Prices for good feeding cattle seem pretty
high at $4 50 and $4 80 when very good fai
cattle are selling at the same money, but is
largely a matter of faith in the future. The
Drover's Journal believes that the current
priceB for fat cattle does not cut much figure
as to what the price of cattle may be when
feeding cattle can be gotten ready for market,
though experienced buyers, as a role, feel
that if they pay as much for feeders as they
get for beef cattle they are working against
big odds from the Btart. There are a good
many Bhort-fed and unfinished cattle being
forced to market at present by the strong
price of corn. Feeders have often made their
best profits when corn was higher than now.
It iB generally the unexpected that happens,
and the lack of confidence wbich some feed-
ers seem to have at present must result in
making future conditions more favorable for
courageous feeders.

A Cleveland, Ohio, man gives this little
reminiscence of the good times enjoyed by
sheep owners during the war: "In 1859 or
1860 sheep raising got to be such a poor pay-
ing business that the farmers were all going
out of it in disgust and at no time of the day
could we look on any of the main roads lead-
ing into Cleveland without seeing large droves
of sheep*coming to slaughter merely for the
peltB and tallow. We could buy a good car-
cass of mutton for twenty-five cents. I knew
a young man starting in life who had just
married and rented his father-in-law's farm.
He paid $150 for 300 ewes and within a year
the Civil War broke out. Wool was one of
the first commodities that took a rise. He
sold his first clip of wool for $1 a pound.
His old stock had increased in value from 50
cents a head to $3 with an increase of 200
worth $3 a head and before the war was over
instead of renting the farm he owned it and
money besides."

Anyone who likes cream — and who doefl
not — should taBte Devonshire cream. Where
the name originated I do not know, probably
in Devonshire, England, along with the
famous breed of cattle which owes to that
locality its bei>g — but it is good, the cream —
yes, and tbe breed is a good one also. To pre-
pare this cream Bet the new milk in pans in a
cool place from twelve to twenty-four hours
It must not sour. Then place upon the stove
or over a kettle of hot water for twelve hours
longer. The cream may now be removed
and is ready for use. It will be found thick
and leathery, yet will melt in the mouth and
has a peculiar indescribably rich and nutty
flavor distinct from any cream not so treated.
It is good on anything one would ever eat
with cream and is not bad to take all by it-
self. Tbe only trouble is that when you once
find out how good it is the weekly output of
butter is pretty sure to shrink alarmingly.

An example of what may be accomplished
in sheep breeding in the United States is
offered by the success of Andy Cazavan, of
Nebraska, who recently retired from business
with a fortune of $100,000. Nine years ago
he went out on the range as a herder and
worked for $35 a month and board. He was
Boon given a flock of 3000 sheep to mn on
shares. In three years he had a flock of hie
own, which multiplied at a tremendous rate.
The fleece paid all his running expenses and
morto, giving him his increase free. Hie one
flock grew into two flocks and the two doubled.
Cazavan quit the range and devoted his time
managing his several flockB in charge of com
petent herdsmen. He also bought the wool
clip of many of his associate wool growers
for an Eastern commission house and did
divers other business on the Bide in a large
way. Besides a bank account of $50,000, on
which he did business on the side, he sold out
his entire sheep business a fortnight ago for
$50,000 and has quit the business. When he
went into busine s good breeding ewes were
worth $1.65. He sold out for $5 per head

In Florida farmers are learning to take ad-
vantage of the market rates for hides. Speak-
ing of the annual shipment of cow and allega-
tor hidee valued at $366,000, the Times Union
and Citizen Bays: "The old practice of ship-
ping dry flint hides is rapidly giving place to
the practice of shipping green salted hides.
A green salted hide will weigh forty pounds,
and sell at 9 cents a pound, bringing $3 60,
while a dry flint hide weighs fourteen pounds
and sell at 16 cents a pound, bringing $2 24.
Probably 60,000 alligator hides are shipped
out of the state yearly. These are worth
from 20 cents to $1 apiece. The production
of allegator hides is rapidly falling off; the
allegator seems likely to be soon exterminated
unless Borne protective legislation iB enforced."

The cow comes very near furnishing one
half of the farmer's living and is as much of
a necessity as the farm itself. She is at least
the first essential stock to place on the farm.
The settler who will provide a good cow a
luxuriantclover or alfalfa pasture for summer,
a warm, dry stable, well bedded, and plenty of
clover or alfalfa or alsike hay for winter will
find her a wonderful living machine for the
transformation of vegetation into milk, cream
butter and cheese and worth more in the
make up of tbe family living than any other
one thing, the hen yard coming second with
a rivalry between the garden and the grain
field for third place.

A Prowers county mau named C. R
Marston has had some experience with farm
sheep. More than a year ago he purchased
100 ewes, wintered them on ten tons of kaffir
corn fodder, on which there was scarcely any
grain and ten tons of alfalfa bay. He then
put them on nine acres of alfalfa pasture, on
which there was also eight head of horses un-
til the month of August and let them browse
around the place for the remainder of the
season. He sold them at $2.50 to $2 76 a
head, the wool paving for the original cost of
the sheep. The net returns were $24 for eacb
acre of alfalfa UBed. He lost ten per cent in
wintering and this iB larger than it should
have been. — Denver Farm.

An explanation of the reason why oleomar
garine supplants butter is fonnd in the profit
manufacturers make from it. It is composed
of lard aod tallow, which sell at 5 and 3 ceo18
a pound, respectively, and at the most the
making of eleomargarioe cannot coBt more
than 6 cents a pound. There were 87,800,000
pounds of oleomargarine manufactured in the
United 8tates last year. As it Bells at whole-
sale for 10 cents a pound the manufacturers
make a profit of $3,512,000.

MANY HORSE3 AT SAN JOSE.

The Track in Pine Shape and a Big Fair to
be Held This Tear.

Probably the moBt valuable piece of property in California
owned by an agricultural association is the one hundred
acres at San Jose which belongs to the Santa Clara Valley
Agricultural Society. Situated within the corporate limits
of a thriving city of 25.000 inhabitants, ornamented with
hundreds of the most beautiful shade tree?, having a regula-
tion mile track that is simply perfection for racing and train-
ing, supplied with all the necessary stands, stalls, pavilions
and other buildings required to accommodate live stock,
agricultural exhibits and the pnblic, it only needs a little
burnishing up to be the model fair grounds of the Pacific
Coast. And it is said this will now be done. By the time this
paper reaches its readers the Santa Clara Valley Agricult-
ural Society will have settled upon a plan by which all the
warring elements which have for some years past preven'ed
a harmony of action in the giving and management of annual
fairs, will be pacified, and an early annouocement may be
expected of a fair and race meeting for the fall of 1900 that
will eclipse anything seen at the Garden City for many years.
Time was when the San Jose fair vied with the Slate Fair at
Sacramento in the extent of its exhibits of agricultural
products, live stock and speed contests, and it is the ex-
pressed determination of the enterprising citizens of San
Jose that the first work after the reorganization is accom-
plished will be to improve the property and give a fair that
will be worthy of the truly magnificent county in which the
grounds are situated.

A Breeder and Sportsman representative who visited
San Jose last Sunday was agreeably surprised at the excellent
condition of the track and the number of horses in training
there. The trainers at San Jose have not been trotting
quarters in SO seconds as yet, as they realize that where there
is too much haste in the prep, there is less speed in the race.
"Farmer" Bunch, who manages the track and has it in
better sbape than we have seen it for years, has already a
dozen of the Vendome Stock Farm horses in training, headed
by that fast and handsome stallion Iran Alto 2:12}, son of
Palo Alto 2:08f. Iran Alto was never in better shape in his
life and will be raced this year in California, Mr. Bunch
imparting the information that he waDted to put Iran Alto
in the 2:10 list before retiring him to the stud for good.
There is no question but Iran Alto is destined to be a great
sire of speed. Everything he gets shows the ability to trot
fast and there will be quite an addition to his list this year.
One of the features of the Celifornia circuit this season will
be in the "Farmer's" string — a broodmare eight years old
and five of her foals, all able to show standard speed. This
is Linda Oik, a daughter of Guy Wilkes and the mare Ydrel
by Nutwood. Linda Oak is in training and will be raced.
She can take a record below 2:20 if no accident happens her.
Her first foal Dr. Frasse 2:12i, by Iran Alto has been gelded
and will try to reduce his mark still further. The next, Dr.
Frasse's Sister 2:25}, won the Stanford Stake, was second to
Eula Mac in the Occident Stake last year and is a candidate
for the 2:15 list before this season ends. Lin 3a Oak's next
foal was Vendome that started three times last year as a
two year old and though be failed to get a record won second
money three times and showed bis ability to trot fast. He
has recovered entirely from his illness of last year and is
showiog very fast. He is entered in the Kentucky Futurity
for this year, the Occident and other stakes and it will tafce
a fast one to beat bim. The next of the foals of Linda Oak
is ElBie Downs, the only one of her get that is not by Iran
Alto. She is a two year old and by Boodle, and is showing
up well. Last on the list is a gelding by Iran Alto. He
has been named The Mascot and Mr. Rea says will be the
fastest of the five, as he can show a 2:30 gait now, Linda
Oak is but eight years old, and if Mr. Bunch has any decent
luck at all he will give her and her four foals new records
before Christmas tide. Two of them are already in the list
and the eldest a five year old. It will be "a record" for the
Vendome Stock Farm if Mr. Bunch's plans do not miscarry.
The colt which is considered the best thing in the string is
"Jim Kae" by Iran Alto out of Ydrel, the dam of Linda
Oak. He is a handsome bay fellow, and when he turns
round for the word it will take a fast three year old to beat
him. A three year old filly by Iran Alto out of Bonny
Piedmont by Piedmont is a very promising miee. There are
three or four others in Bunch's care and he will have at
least eight horses to enter in the races on the California
circuit.

Mr. J. W. Gordon is training seven head and will be seen
on the circuit also. His stallion Silver Arrow by Silver
Bow oat of Nutwood Weeks, the dam of Ethel Downs 2:10,
is one of the beat looking and best gaited horses in the State,
and will start in the green claeses this year with every pros-
pect of being a good money winner. He has a bold, strong
way of going that is very attractive and several parties in
San Jose have asked the privilege of breeding mares to bim
this year. He has served a few but has been kept in train
ing and is doiog well. Mr. Gordon has a large gelding by
the rid horse he formerly campaigned, C. W. 8. 2:26} by
Abbolsford. This fellow is called Black Diamond and has
for ', dam a mare by Admiral, from there on through a dozen

dams thoroughbred. Black Diamond is a fast horse and will
be eDtered throughout the circuit. F. W. -2:10 J, the fast but
unfortunate pacer that Mr. Gordon has campaigned a couple
of years, is being jogged, but as be is in litigation it is not
known whether he will be raced or not this year. There are
four or five otherB in Mr. Gordon's care, all green ones, and
it is uncertain as yet whether they will be campaigned.

We found Dr. A. W. Boucher at the track and with the
assistance of a veterinary surgeon he bad just completed an
operation of firing the shoulder of his great mare Miss Logan
2:06}. She has shown lameness for some time, and the
Doctor studied long over the matter and consulted his veter
inary surgeon many times before he concluded where th
ailment was located. It was finally concluded that the
muscles of the shoulder were the seat of the trouble and that
heroic treatment was necessary, "A seton was out of the
question," tb.9 Doctor remarked, "as after one turn had been
made with it, one could never get near enough to her to attend
to it any farther." So firing was decided upon and four
punctures were made with an instrument about half as large
as an ordinary lead pencil. The punctures were an inch
deep, and when made a blister was put on sIbo. Dr. Boucher
says the condition of the mare will prevent him going East
in all probability, as he will not have time to get her ready
for the hard campaign which an Eastern trip involves. He
believes, however, that the healing will be rapid and that by
the middle of July the mare will be ready to go as fast a
mile as ever in her life, though hardly fit for long drawn out
races. He informed us that he contemplated making over-
tures to the district associations in the central and northern
part of the State, offering to go against time with his mare
and guaranteeing to lower the track records. Miss Logan
would certainly be a drawing card for any meeting and the
Doctor will not want "the earth" for starting.

"The greatest three year old pacer in America, bar none,'
said Bunch as Miss Logan's colt by Harry Gear 25,382, son
of Echo out of the dam of Crown Prince 2:i7£, was led out
for inspection. This is one of the best looking colts in Cali-
fornia, a 16 hand chestnut and, unlike his dam, has one of
the most level heads ever put on a horse. He will not be
raced this year in all probability, though the Doctor may
conclude to start him a few timrs in the fall. He has shown
two minute speed already with no work to speak of, does not
mind company, can be driven with one hand and rated per-
fectly. His owner thinks very highly of him — so high in
fact that he wants to give him every opportuntly to develop
into a mature horse before racing him to any extent.
"Here is evidence of the fortunes of breeding," said Dr.
Boncher. "I have bred two — Miss Logan 2:06} and this colt,
which I think will be as fast as she, and when I bred them if
was not with any idea that I would get fast ones. 1 was in
the mountains of Inyo county in 1S96 for my family's health,
and Miss Logan was acting so mean that I could hardly do
anything with her. Thinking she would act better if bred I
sent her to Harry Gear, as he was the only horse there
except my horse Gen. Logan, her sire. This colt is the
result, and I think he is as good as any I have seen for some

time.'

Henry Hell man has a string of horses at San Jose that wil
make a showing on the circuit this year. Wild Nulling 2:13
has been doing etnd doty but will soon be put at his regular
training work. He has already shown that his speed is still
with him, and Mr. Hellman thinks it will not be difficult for
him to lower his mark considerably. He is owned by the
estate of the late W. H. Vioget. That gentleman informed
the writer last year that Wild Nutling paced a mile over the
San Jose track in 2:07J and he believed he would get a mark
of 2:05 or better this year. Myrtha Whips 2:10£ is a better
looking mare than she was last year. Mr. Hellman believes
she will lower her record if she has no bad luck and she cer-
tainly looks fit to do it now. Alton, the handsome black
full brother to Chehalis 2:041, has been doing a little stud
duty this year. He is but three years old and has not been
allowed to serve half the mires that owners desired sending
to him. He is a square trotter and has been a mile better
than 2:30. Like all his illustrious family he is a good looke r
and it would not be surprising if he got a very low mark.
Oro Guy, a handsome black two year old colt by Oro Wilkes
out of Roseate by Gay Wilkes, is Wilkes in breeding, looks
and gait. He is owned by Mr. Robert Orr of HolHster and
is one of the best bred colts in California. His second dam
was Rosedale (the dam of Coincident 2:20) by Saltan, third
dam Inez 2:30 (producer of a two year old with a mark of
2:29A) by The Moor, and fourth dam by Fireman son of
Langford. There are ten head in Mr. Bellman's string and
he will have about a half dczen to campaign.

B. O. Van Bokkelen is getting ready to go East in May
and expects to be able to get his share of the money when he
starts, Ellert 2:1 1 V never looked bo well as be does at the.
present time and Thompson 2:14}, which Mr. V. thinks very
highly of, is also in fine shape. Mr. Van Bokkelen was
requested to drive the big chestnut son of Boodle in a match
race at Santa Maria laBt New Year's Day, and won with
him, trotting a mile over the very heavy track better than
2:20 He liked him so well that he secured the horse for the
Eastern campaign. His first start will be in the Hotel
Cadillac Stake at Detroit. The colt Col. Carter, is a two year
old by Nutwood Wilkes oat of a mare by Boodle, which Dan
Mahaney paid $1000 for last winter simply on his looks and
breeding and the fact that he is entered in big stakes. Mr

Van Bokkelen has been driving bim and has not tried to
make speed with him, bat be has bushels of the commodity
and can trot a quarter better than 40 seconds and looks as
though it was mere play. The green horse Boodler bv
Boodle has so taken Van Bokkelen's fancy that he purchased
him from Mr. Montgomery this week for an Eastern party
for $1200. Boodler should beat 2:20 this year easily enough
if raced. He is a grand looking horse and a trotter with a
great deal of action.

Clarence Hill, who once trained for F. W. Loeber, has a
string of six at the San Jose track, four of them the property
of Mr. Geo, Y. Bollinger, President of the Agricultural
Society. Our Nelly is the name given a green pacing mare
owned by Mr. Bollinger. She is by Baywood, a Bon of Nut-
wood, out of Nelly Bly (the dam of Our Boy 2:12J) by
Wapsie. Our Nelly is five years old, has never been raced,
but is very fast — fast enough for the free for all class if she
comes up to expectations. Mr. Bollinger has two others out
of Nelly Bly, one a four year old gelding by Hambletonian
Wilkes that is the picture of his dad and a very promising
trotter, the other a three year old colt by Boodle, also fast.
Hill has a black filly three years old by Almont Patchen
and a mare by Cyrus R., both of which are pacers that are
worth entering in the races. Mr. Hill is a very careful, con-
scientious man, who understands how to teach speed, and is
worthy of scccess.

There are about fifty horses in training at the San Jose
track and as it is beiag kept in perfect condition for work*
ing horses, and there is ample stable room and the finest
climate and feed in California it will in another year get
back to its old position of the leading training track in the
State.

On Monday next T. E. Keating and several other horse-
men are to visit the track and their will be some fast quart-
ers and halves male for their edification. It will be well

worth going to see.

From Nutwood Stock Farm,

Ibvington, April 8. 1900.
Editor Breeder and Sportsman — The first thiog upon
arising this a. m. I had the pleasure of an introduction to a
distinguished visitor that had arrived about 5:30 a. m.

The visitor is a dark bay filly, two white hind feet, by
8earchlight 2:03}, dam Z;la Carter by Director 2:17,grandam
Lida W. 2:18} by Nutwood 2:18}.

For this little "miss" I will claim the name of Record
Searcher.

This filly is entered in Btskes to the amount of $36,000.
About noon when she got stron *, she raised her head and
tail and without boots or hopples struck out for the track on
a natural pace. She did not say whether she was going in
search of her share of the $36,000 or a fast record. A few
gentlemen from San Francisco were here and said they never
saw anything pace like she did. I am sure if Mr. T. E.
Keating saw her, he would want to take her East and enter
her in the baby class. This pedigree will look great
tabulated.

The feed is fine here and the stock is looking better than
ever before at this season of the year. Nutwood Wilkes is
looking fine and going to make a heavy season. He is
getting a great class of highly bred mares from all parts of
the county. Five mares arrived to-day, one Lissie Jean,
dam of Who Is It 2:10* by Nntwood Wilkes. She is now in
foal to Nutwood Wilkes and when the colt is dropped she
will be bred back. All of the Nutwood Wilfees colls that
have been dropped so far this year are so well liked by the
owners that the mares have been returned.

Barring accidents, Nutwood Wilkes will have at least four
in the 2:10 list this year, namely, Who Is II 2:10J, John A.
McKerron 2:12}, Irvington Boy, that worked a mile in 2:15
recently, and the Bruner colt that worked a mile in 2:16,
quarter in 30 seconds, one-eighth in 14$, and perhaps Bob
Ingersoll, that worked a mile in 2.19], one-half in 05.], one-
quarter in 32 seconds, which would make five in the 2:10
list, and he has a number of others that are showing all
kinds of speed. This horse seems to throw speed, from any
old kind of a mare. Yours truly,

^ Martin Carter.

Tulare to Hold a County Fair.

A fair wil! be held in Tulare county this fall if present in*
tentions are carried nut. The Stale has made an appropria-
tion for district fairs and $1500 are available and will not be
allowed to revert back to the treasury if a little energetic
rustling will prevent. This sum, of course, is not great
enough to carry the project through; twice Buch amount
being required, but the balance can be made up by sub*
scription.

Plans are not very definite as yet. However, an endeavor

will be made to have five days of racing in October. As

good an exhibit of agricultural, horticultural and mineral

products as can be gathered will be made. — Tulare Register.

Cleveland Track Notes.

Beatrice, dam of the three great sires, Prodigal, Patron
and Patronage, died at the farm of W. N. Burgess, Flrmiog-
ton, N. J., a few days ago, at the age of twenty -five years.
Few matrons of trottiog blood have done more for the breed
to which tbey belong than did this daughter of Cuyler. The
first of her produce to come into prominence was tbe trotter
Patron, who, in 1885, set the world's record for three year
olds at 2:lyA, and who reduced his record, at five, to 2:14}.
Then came Prodigal, who took a trotting record of 2:16.
These performers attracted the attention of all breeders to
the Pancoast-Cuyler cross, and the result was a boom in
breeding of that sort, which at last gave us not only a world's
champion trotter, but numerous great performers at both
gaits. Patronage, the oldest of the trio, gained no fame on
the turf, but after years of comparative neglect came into
decided prominence in 1891, when Alix made her great cam-
paign in the West and took a record to high wheels, of 2:16J.
The latter performances of the mare brought her sire addi.
lional honors, but he has never assumed the rank of his
brothers. The complete list of peiforming and producing
sons and daughters of Beatrice is ae follows: Patronage, sire
of six standard trotters, including Alix 2:03}; Patron 2:14},
sire of twenty-nine or more, with the pacer Ananias 2:05,
and the trotter Caracalla 2:10 as the beet; Prodigal 2:16, sire
of fourteeo, of which John Nolan 2:08, winner of the
Charter O^k $10,000, the Douglas $5000 and the Transyl-
vania $5000 in 1898, is the bright particular star; Pangloss,
sire of Niece 2:201; Clarinda, dam of Patriot 2:24; Nathalie,
dam of the pacer Barondale 2:11}, and of tne trotter of Grand
Baron 2:12&, sire of Baroletta (3) 2:17. In so far as it has
been tried the blood of Beatrice has bred on. It has
answered to all demands so far made upon it and its presence
in a pedigree needs no apology. Beatrice was bred by J. C.
McFerran at Glenview Farm, near Louisville, Ky., and was
by Cuyler, out of Mary Mambrioo (dam of Elvira 2:18A, who
produced Ponce de Leon 2:13), by Mambrino Patchen; sec-
ond dam by Emory's Wagner, thoroughbred. 8he was
trained some, but not a great deal, and trotted in 2:50 as a
three year old. In 1886, when Glenview held its dispersal
sale, Mr. J. H. Shults paid $4800 for her. At Parkville
Farm she produced seven foals by six different sires, but
none of them has yet succeeded in doing anything worthy of
note. Finally she became barren, and two years ago ehe
was sold to Percy Logan, of New York city, whose property
she was at the time of her death. There is no doubt that
whatever may be produced in the future, Beatrice will ever
be accorded a place in the very front rank of great brood-
mares. She holds, to quote an Eastern breeder, "the unique
position as tbe only mare with three sons that are sires of
2:10 trotters." Other mares have produced more performers
than are credited to Beatrice, but we doubt if any matron has
given the turf more than she gave, through her sons. —

Too Fast for a Yearling:.

Annual Meeting of the American Trotting

Register Association.

[American Sportsman."]

The book of John A. McKerron 2:12J haB been closed.
It was at first intended to limit tbe book to ten mares, but
there are 17 named. Seventy-five at $50 each could easily
have been gotten for the marvelous colt trotter. Of the 17
mares booked 12 have records from 2:11J to 2:30, two others
are prodocers, and another is a sister to a standard performer.
The list of booked mares follows: Peko 2:11J by Electioneer,
Ouida 2.17J by Smuggler, Incense 2:17£ by Jim Young,
Mattie Bassett 2:23 to wBgon, dam of Eddrea 2:17£ to wagon;
Bifty Dock 2:25 by Bezant, Mattie Bezant 2:29£ by Bezant,
Anita S. 2:21J by Sable Wilkes, Irene Wilton 2:22| by Wil-
ton, Mattie C, dam of Hugo 2:22; Jennie D., wagon record
2:32, by John E. Wood; Etta Mc 2:29|, dam of Sport, trial
2:16J; Patience 2:18|, Nellita, sister to Nelly Hammond
2:28J, by Patron out of Nelly G. 2:20; Kate Leland by
Leland, dam by Kentucky Prince; Henrietta G. 2:19J by
Elyria; Stella C. by Elyria; dam of Checkmate 2:21J, and a
record daughter of Brown Wilkes.

A horseman who was at Norwalk last week says Azote
2:04| looks better than when even Hickok had him. His
legs are clean as a whistle, and he is bigger and stronger
than ever. Don Thomas has had Azote almost a year, and
the big gelding has never taken a lame step. Last summer
he was extremely careful, yet got the gelding to trot a mile
in 2:11 to wagon. As he now understands Azote and has hiB
legs better, he will undoubtedly bring back the famous trot-
ter's old time speed. Azote needs only a part of it to lower
all trotting wagon records. Thomas also wintered the big
gelding by Chas Derby, that also belongs to Will B. White.
This pacer was so growthy that he was worked very lightly,
but he has filled out, and this year as a four year old will
probably be seen in matinees. Thomas will arrive at the
Cleveland track in a few days.

George Saunders' campaigning stable will include T.
Whitton's pacing filly Mary Kelly, that has been entered in
several Grand Circuit stakes. This is one of the consign-
ment Monroe Salisbury broaght to the Cleveland sale last
spring. Whitton bought her for $150. Fred Colbrunm
secretary at Rockport, developed Mary Kelly and woo two
races with her, driving her to a three year old record of
2:26$. She is by Direct out of Lady Dexter by Dexter
Prince.

[Western Horseman. J

We hear that a yearling has trotted an eighth of a mile
already this spring, at Lexington, Ky., in 15 seconds — a two
minute gait I If this grape-vine dispatch be true, it is safe
to say that there is one phenomenal flower of spring that
will blast in the bud, a great young trotting speed prospect
whose name is not at all likely to become known to fame ae
a campaigning money winner, for if it has this early stepped
such a clip as that it is sure to be stepped right into the
ground ere many weeks, for no youngster of that tender age
can Btand buch an effort, especially if often repeated, without
serious aul permanent injury. If a breeder breeds simply to
sell, and has no care for either the animal's comfort or
future usefulness, it is his blessed privilege to step his
youngsters as faBt and as often ae he pleases, if they can step
fast. Personally, be may not be the loser by such practice,
for there are always those who will "warm up" to a phe-
nomenal youngster and pay a fancy price for it, without any
thought of its measure having already been taken; but it is
wrong, morally wrong, to ask so much of a tender plant.
This is not the royal road to success, at least so far as the
future usefulness of the youogster is concerned. To be sure,
colts intended for race horses, especially stake winners,
should have their education begun early, very early, in life;
but this education must be proceeded with slowly, judi-
ciously and considerately. They should be exercised, not
worked — in the sense of working an aged horse. It is an
historical fact, and not a remarkable fact, either, that
Futurity winners have seldom appeared among the group of
youngsters which every spring set the tongues of the "rail
birdb" to wagging. As a rule, these infantile ''track burners"
are turned out to grass long before Futurity starters are
called out. No one ever beard of Peter the Great, Idolita,
Endow or Boralma stepping eighths in 15 seconds before
they were fairly out of their first winter. "If you have a
cood thing, save it," at least for awhile, should be the ruling
sentiment of owners of phenomenally fast, very youog, baby
trotters. Don't dance too much to tbe music of the "rail
birds," even if they do "rosin tbe bow" with their twitter.
As a* rule, tbey are not millionaires, and, though they may
grow enthusiastic over your colt, they are seldom mortgage
lifters, and, while merely tickling their fancy, you are likely
to knock out a genuine mortgage lifter. Beuzetta, remember,
was a mortgage lifter as a three year old, but not a "rail
bird" note of praise did she raise as a yearling or two year
old, and these sparrows of tbe quarter stretch bad never so
much as heard of Peter the Great till they saw him winning
tbe Kentucky Futurity. No; if you have a phenomenal
yearling you had better run the risk of losing out with the
"rail birds" than to chaocn stepping eighths in 15 seconds in
March. But we are a trifle <-kepticnl as to this rumor of an
eighth in 15 seconds, for at best March is a very windy
month.

Chicago (l\\ ), April 4, 1900.

Tbe following report was submitted by the Board of
Directors:

The business of your association has been prosperous dur-
ing the year just ended. Although the total volume of
registration has been somewhat less than during the pre-
ceding year, yet the last months of the year show an increase
which is an assurance that the business is improving and that
following the general prosperity we may now expect a steady
increase through the year just begun.

The receipts from book sales have been slightly smaller
than for last year, the decrease being chiefly in the sale of
the Register.

The new Year Book is finished. It covers more ground
and is a better book in every way than usual. It contains
two hundred and fifty pages more than the volume for last
year, contains records down to present date and gives all
produce of stallions and great broodmares, etc., on the gen-
eral plan of Volume VIII. No up to date horseman can
afford to be without it and you may be sure of a ready sale
for it.

Enough registrations have been made to warrant the pub-
lication of a new volume of the Register this year. It will
be held open for a short time and then closed and it publi-
cation proceeded with, so that to secure registration in
Volume XV. it will be necessary to make application at once.

The showing made is a very favorable one and your Board
of Directors is of the opinion that a dividend of four per
cent should be paid to tbe stockholders.

W. R. Allen was elected President; Samuel Barker, Vice
President; F. 8. Gorton, Treasurer, and J. H. Sieiner,
Secretary and Registrar.

The following Directors were elected to serve three years:
W. R. Allen, Pittsfield, Mass.; G. G. Boyle, Louisville, Ky.;
D. Brodhead, Spring Station, Ky.; W. C. Brown, Chicago,
111.; Andrew Price, Donelson, Tenn.; N. J. Colman, St-
Louis, Mo.; C. F. Emery, Cleveland, O.; E. H. Harriman,
New York, N. Y.; J. W. Bailey, Gainesville, Tex.; J. H.
8teiner, Chicago, 111.

W. J. Lewis, Woodlake, Ky., was elected to serve one
year vice H. C. McDowell, deceased and A. G. Danforth,
Washington, 111., to serve two yearB vice M. W. Oliver*
deceased.

Messrs. Baker, Allen, Brodhead, Colman, Gorton, Sanborn
and Ijams were elected to serve one year as an executive
committee.

The Treasurer was directed to pay a dividend of four per
cent on the capital stock of the association to the stock-
holder.

The National Trotting Assooiatlon.

An adjourned meeting of the Board of Review will be
held at the Palmer House, Chicago, at 11 o'clock A. M., on
Tuesday, May 8, 19C0, by order of the president.

All communications intended for the consideration of the
Board at the May meeting must be forwarded to the secre-
tary not later than April 28th.

The Board of Review is empowered to act in place of the
full Board with the same authority and jurisdiction, and at
tbe above meetings will consider business arising in each and
all the districts.

Getting Ready for a Big Fair.

The way to a satisfactory and promising settlement of the
affairs of the Santa Clara Agricultural Association was prac-
tically cleared of obstacles yesterday, says the San Jose
Mercury of April 6th. The attorneys for the various con-
flicting interests agreed that tbe plan of converting the
society into a joint stock company was both feasible and ad-
visable. In addition to legal representatives of the judgment
creditors have signified their approval of the plan and the
formal acceptance of it by the Board of Directors is now all
that is necessary to its execution.

The results of the attorneys' efforts involves the incor-
poration of a joint stock company with a capital of {100,000,
divided in 500 shares of $200 each. Each life member in
tbe original society will be given a share of stock. As there
are ISO active members now on the roll and interests repre-
sented by the heirs of 157 deceased, there will remain in the
treasury 163 shares of stock after the complete membership
has been exchanged for stock. The precise manner in which
the funds necessary to pay off all debts will be secured has
not been determined, although it is probable that the new
corporation will mortgage the Agricultural Park property
for about $25,000. Another pi in contemplates the disposal
of a number of lots fronting on the Alameda, but there is a
strong element anxious to preserve the association property
in entirety. The total of the indebtedness is $19,749 54, tbe
largest creditor being W. C. Andrews, with a claim of 58500.

There will be a special meeting of tbe Directors tbe
coming week to discuss the whole scheme. If it is adopted
it is proposed to begin preparations at once for a big fair the
coming autumn.

Empire City Track will be opened for the accomodation
of light harness horse trainers from April 1st to Sept. 15th

ENTRY BLANKS have been sent out this week by
the associations at Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico
and Woodland to the horsemen all over California, and
it is confidently expected that a very large list of entries
will be obtained to the trotting and pacing stakes which
close May 1st. We cannot too stroDgly impress upon
the minds of horse owners and trainers, and all those
interested in any way in the harness horse, the necessity
of aiding in every manner in making the district fair
meetings successful thiB year. No one thing will do
more than a big list of entries for these early closing
stakes, as other associations will be guided very much
by the showing there made. If these stakes fill well
all the other districts will follow with liberal stakes and
purses and the California circuit of 1900 will be the best
in the history of the State. California horse owners
should realize the fact that the revival in the trotting
horse business will depend largely upon them for its
stability and continuance. Horses are valuable now and
a successful racing season this year will still further
increase prices, a^ the demand will certainly be increased
thereby. The horsemen of the whole Pacific Coast owe
a debt of gratitude to the five associations in Northern
California which have announced such excellent pro-
grams of harness racing as those advertised in this issue.
Had they not come to the front as they have it is more
than probable that harness raciDg would have been
allowed to go by default in California this year, except
the few weeks that will be furnished by the Breeders
Association and the State Fair. The Northern Circuit
of associations took the bull by the horns, announced
good purses and announced them early and now there
are nearly a thousand horses in training in this State.

We ask their owners to show these northern district
boards that they fully appreciate their generous action,
and to make entries as generously as the purses have
been offered. " Fill every stake and fill it well," should
be the aim of the owners of horses in training and in no
instance should they fail to enter where they feel they
have a chance to win. There is prosperity in sight and
all should pull together to reach it. There are at least
f .'e associations that have nobly done their part so far.
The pursea have been offered. It is now the horsemen's

Qove.

THE STANFORD STAKE FOR 1902 can be made
a very rich prize if the owners of foals of 1899 will
make the entry list a large one. It was worth nearly
$S00 to the winner last year, but the one to be decided
two years hence should be worth double that amount
and will be if the owners of trotting bred foals care to
make it. The success of the Occident Stake has made
it increase in value yearly — the amount won by Lena
A. last year being close to $2000. The Stanford Stake
can be made as popular. It closes so much later than
the Occident Stake, while all colts and fillies entered in
the latter are also eligible to it, that the entry list should
be fully as large. It only costs $5 to enter on May 15th
this year, there is $5 more due on January 1, 1901, ¥10 due
one year later, and another $10 due July 1, 1902. The last
payment is $20, due ten days before the race, making the
entire entrance but $50. The State Agricultural Society
adds $300 to the stake. Let us figure the value of this
stake Bhould there be two hundred entries. At $5 this
would bring in $1000 on the first payment. If 150 made
the second payment $750 more would be added. Should
100 stay in after January 1, 1902, another $1000 would be
in the stake, and if 75 of these made the July payment
$750 additional would be added. Now say 10 pay the
starting fee of $20, and the Society's $300 is added to all,
there would be a stake of $4500 to trot for, and the en-
tire entrance fee would be but a fraction over one per
cent. These figures show how large a stake can be
made if there is only a liberal list of entries. It is to be
hoped that Secretary Shields of the State Agricultural
Society will/eceive at least two hundred entries to the
Stanford Stake when it closes May 15th. Every man in
California who owns a trotting bred foal of 1899, that
he thinks is worth $50 (the entrance fee) should name
him in this stake. If every such owner does, there will
be a thousand entries.

THE COLT STAKES o ffered this year by the State
Agricultural Society for two and three year olds will be
found advertised in our columns to-Jay. Entries for
these stakes, which are four in number, will close May
15th, and, as will be seen, both trotters and pacers are
provided for. The stake for two year old trotters is for
those of the 2:40 class, the entire entrance fee is $30, and
the Society adds $200 to the stake. The conditions for
the two year old pacers are the same, except that it is
for those in the 2:30 class. For the three year olds there is
$300 added money and the entrance is $50. The trotters
must be of the 2:25 class and the pacers of the 2:20 class.
The payments are easy but a small portion of the en.
trance money being required at time of entry. There are
enough two and three year olds in training in California
this year to make these stakes very valuable if their
owners will but enter them. If there is an owner in
California who desires to see harness horses still further
increase in value he can help the advance very materi_
ally by entering his colts in these and other stakes this
year. Valuable stakeB make valuable horses, and the
way to make stakes valuable is to have them start with
a heavy entry list.

AGENTS of the British government have been pur-
chasing horses in the United States ever Bince the South
African war broke out, but an order was issued thiB week
to its agents here to secure thirty thousand more as soon
as possible. Buffalo, New York, is the inspection point
presumably because they can be immediately taken
across the border into British teriitory conveniently after
purchase. These horses will bring $3,000,000 at $100
each, and it is very likely they will bring more. The
United States Government is paying $112 for good
cavalry horses.

THE WINTER RACING SEASON in California is
nearly over and the hegira to the East has begun in
earnest. Tanforan Park closed its gates yesterday, and
the California Jockey Club will begin its last twelve day
meeting to-day. There will be the usual extra day at
Oakland for the benefit of the Fabiola Hospital and then
the horses will have a much needed rest until the open-
ing of the northern circuit, where two running races
will be given each day in addition to the regular trotting
program.

BUDD DOBLE, whose name is perhaps better known
than that of any trotting horse driver in the world, has
decided to turn his attention to the runners, and with
the well known horseman and bookmaker Johnny Cole-
man will select a string from the farm of Lucky Bald-
win and race them over the leading Eastern tracks this
year. Mr. Doble is now at Rancho -Santa Anita and
will probably go East from there.

SOME ORGANIZED EFFORT should be made by
the associations that intend giving harness race meetings
in California this year, toward securing a competent
starter who can act throughout the circuit. There is
nothing which causes so much dissatisfaction at a race
meeting as poor starts and long continued scoring
They often spoil what would otherwise have been great
contests, and cause harsh criticism where under other
circumstances nothing but commendation would have
been heard. By acting together, the organizations which
will give meetings thiB year can secure the services of a
competent person to fill the position of starter and
judge, and by so doing will not only please the horse-
men, but the public, and thereby increase the gate re-
ceipts. Action should not be delayed in this mattei.

LASSIE JEAN, the dam of Who Is It 2:10}, died at
Nutwood Stock Farm this week. Mr. A. G. Gumett,
her owner, decided to again breed her to Nutwood
Wilkes, the sire of Who Is It, this year and she was
taken there from Pleasanton, where she bad been taken
a few days previous from Sulphur Spring Stock Farm.
She was in foal to Nutwood Wilkes and the loss is a heavy
one to Mr. Gumett, who had been offered $2000 for her
recently, but considered the price too low. She was by
Brigadier, out of Lexington Belle by Lexington, her
second dam being the celebrated mare Eagless by imp.
Glencoe.

THE VALLEJO TRACK has been leased by Ttios.
Smith, the well known horseman of that city, for a term
of three years. He has put it in first clasH condition
for training purposes and it is an excellent track for
speed making, especially for colts, as. the nature of the
soil is such that they do not sore or lame when driven
over it. There are plenty of roomy box stalls for rent
and the best of hay and grain to be had at low rates.
No better locality can be found for preparing horses
for the campaign of 1900. Write to Mr. Smith for
terms, etc.

A FINE PAIR of carriage horses are offered for
sale at a ridiculously low price. They are both thor-
oughbreds by imp. Greenback, but were never raced-
They are blockv built, with plenty of action, and are a
pair of handsome horses. Are not yet thoroughly
broken, but a splendid prospect for some horsemen who
understands the business to develop for a carriage pair.
Both sound and all right. Apply at this office.

THE BOARD OF APPEALS of the National Trot-
ting Association for the Pacific District will meet at
22} Geary Btreet, in this city, Wednesday next, April
18th. Several cases of importance will be up for con-
sideration by the Board.

Good Ones at San Bernardino.

There is not often much horse news received from San
Bernardino, probably owing to the fact that none of the
horsemen down in that nick of the woods are t ill cted with
cacoethes scrihendi, but there are quite a number of good
young horses being made ready there for the California circuit
this year. Mr. X. M. Lipson has a string of a half dozen in
training at the San Bernardino track, several of which will
be seen racing on tbe Northern Circuit. One is a five year
old named Zilock, bred by Mr Ben Davis of San Bernardino.
Zolock is by McKinney 2:11L out of Gazelle 2:11}, and
though a green colt has speed that will make him noticeable
when the races begin. His dam was recently sold for $5000>
and a two year old out of hei is considered the fastest young-
ster in the State. Mr. Lipson has also a green ore by
Albion, dam ry Norfolk, a four year old by Bob Mason, dam
Miss ftoldnut by Goldnut son of Nutwood, and a green one
by Raymond, dam by Tenbroeck. All show speed enough to
warrant entering on the California Circuit this year and
have all shown halves in 1:10 or better.

The New York Assembly by a vote of 79 ayes to 12 nays
recently passed the Anti-pool Room Bill, known as the
Saunders measure, to prohibit telegraph companies from
transmitting news of racing events on which bets are made.
It is honed that this will suppress the pool room nuisance.

We have it on good authority that the New England
Trotting Horse Breeders' Association will offer a liberal
purse for a stallion race to be contested at its annual meeting
in September. Such a race ought to bring out a great field
of horses and be a splendid drawing card.

The Grady Bill to prohibit alt heavy wagons and auto-
mobiles on the New York speedway passed the Assembly on
March 27th.

SUCCESSFUL SALE.

Pleasanton Pickups.

Increased Use for the Horee.

Horses Belonging to the D. E. Knight Estate
Bring Fair Prloes at Auoilon.

There was qnite a large attendance of horsemen at the
anction sale of trotting bred stock owned by the estate of the
late D. E. Knight, the sale beiog held at Marysville on
Wednesday of ibis week. Among those present were George
W. Kingsbury, of the Lick Houbc, 8an Francisco; H. 8.
Hogoboom, Sacramento; 8. W. Grigsby, 0. A. Lowe and A.
B. Rodman, Woodland; E. C. Peart, Colusa; A. L. Hinds,
Arthur Goodall, J. G. Ciucello, A. F. Rooker, San Fran.
Cisco; E. T. Sterling and Joe Everetts, San Jose; I. Hosking,
Willowf; J. H. McMullen and J. J. Feeny, Sacramento;
Mayor George H. Clark, Sacramento; John Stineman and
Dr. Durst, Wheatland; A. L. Nichols, Chico; John Sanders,
A. G Wbeaton and J. H. McQ laid, Smartville; M. Bailey,
Grand Island, and many others.

The top price of the sale was of course reached with the
three year old filly Eula Mc, winner of several two year old
stakes last year wben she secured a record of 2:27£. She is
bv McKinney and is considered a good prospect to win the
Occident Stake and Breeders Futurity this year. She was
started at 1600 and several parties were interested in the
bidding. She was finally knocked down at $1100 to Wil-
liam Hogoboom of Marysville and G. W. Kingsbury, man-
ager of the Lick House in this city, who are interested to-
gether. Auctioneer Leech handled the sale well and got
fair prices for nearly everything, the farming implements,
wagons, sulkies, harness, etc., used on the track Belling for
good figures.

When the horses, Elmorene and Dos Minulos 2:30 were
offered for sale, Attorney Brann of San Francisco, represent-
ee Ben E. Harris, arose and announced that Mr. Harris
layB claim to the two animah, on the ground that in 1895 he
delivered the mare and colt to Mr. Knight with the under-
standing that they were to share in the proceeds of any
winnings either horse might make. He claimB no sale was
made, Dos Minutes was a colt at Elmorene's side at that
lime. These horses were not put up and no sale was made of
them. The prices obtained, with names of buyers, are as

Chestnut fi ly, 1899, by Diablo-Knighthood; C Mullin. Marya-

Bat little work has been done at the track this week, the
majority of the horses beiog given a few days' rest.

Clipper worked a mile in 2:17 last Saturday, pacing the
last quarter in 31 seconds.

The Diablo colt belonging to Mr. Oallegos worked an easy
quarter in 32 seconds the same day.

1 Direct's owner, Mi. C. F. Sapp, was up here with his
wife to Bee his horse worked out. The start was made all
right and I Direct marched the first quarter in 31 seconds, the
second eighth in 15 seconds flat, when the hopples broke and
flapping about his legs caused him to break, so the mile was
not fast.

Miss Jessie by Gossiper showed a quarter in 31 seconds,
laBt eighth in 15. This is the fastest quarter ever shown
here by a trotter.

Irvington Boy by Nutwood Wilkes is working well and
they think he will be a hard horse to beat this year. There
are two or three others of Mr. Carter's horses lhat are very
fast and will prove it when the races begin.

J. M. Alviso thinks Key del Diablo will pace in 2:15 before
another week is ended.

William Murray, Chas. Griffith, T. E. Keating, Charles
Durfee and T. H. Green spent Thursday at Oakwood Park
Stock Farm.

Keating shipped Primrose 2:13 to her owner at Los An-
geles last Tuesday. She is to be raced there next Monday.
Primrose paced a half in 1:02 a few dajs before being
shipped.

A. G. Guroett of Sulphur 8pring Stock Farm was here
Sunday looking at his horses and shaking hands with his
many friends. His trainer, Al McDonald, has one of the
best strings at the track. Mr. Gurnett booked two more
mares to Diablo while here. Cobr.

According to "Farmer Bunch," the handsomest young
colt be ever saw, as well as one of the best bied ones, is owned
by T. 8. Montgomery of San Jose. Bunch says be will be a
2:10 performer bv reason of his inheritance. His pedigree is
as follows : Sired by Boodle 2:12$ (sire of Ethel Downs 2:10
and graodBon of Jay Gould 2:20J (sire of Pixlev 2:08J and
tha dam of Robert J. 2:01 J.) Dam, Dixie, by Charles Derby
2:20 (brother to Klatawah 2:053 and sire of Much Better
2:07J, Derby Princess 2:08$ and Diablo 2:09J). Chas. Derby
is the son of SteiDway 2:253 -ire of Klatawah 2:05$, W.
Wood 2:07, Agitato 2:09 and Cricket 2:10. The second dam
isRamooa (dam of W. Wood 2:07) by Anteeo 2:16, son of,
Electioneer (Bire of Arion 2:07$, Palo Alto 2:08| and Sunol
2:08$). The third dam (dam of Crescent 2:231) was sired by
Capt. Webster, son of Williamson's Belmont. Fourth to
eleventh dams thoroughbred. It will be seen that this colt
has thirteen 2:10 performers close up in bis pedigree. This
youngster is already entered in the Kentucky Futurity, Hart-
ford Futurity and Horse Review StakeB and will be entered
in all rich stakes to which he may be eligible.

Notes From Los Angeles.

Judge Coburn with Ed Connelly, his trainer, left Los
for Angeles last Monday morning for Colorado Springs with
their horses. They will race at that place and Denver and
then go East.

P. W. Hodges will soon move his stable of horses to Sacra-
mento. He will race on the California circuit. Hodges
will have Hazel Kinney 2:12$ again thiB year.

A green pacing mare, black in color, paced a mile in 2:14
very handily at the track last Monday. She belongs to
Lucky Baldwin and is leased this year to Slice & Maben.
She is by Guy Wilkes, dam by 8ultan. Baldwin and Budd
Doble were at the track when she worked and both held
watches on her. It is rumored here that Doble and John
Campbell will train and race a string of Baldwin's thor-
oughbreds.

Northwest News.

[Portland Rural Spirit]

Horsemen can depend on a good speed program at the
Oregon State Fair this year.

A citizen's purse for 2:14 pacers over (he Salem track dur-
ing the S ate Fair is talked of.

R. fiverdine has sold his six year old gelding, full brother
to Bonner N. B. 2:17 to Wm. Frazier.

Wm. Miller of Everett, Wash., has registered his stallion,
Meteor 2:17$, and his number is 32882.

Aug. Erickson haB brought in Bill Frazier 2:14 from the
farm and placed him in Sam Casto's hands at Irvington
track.

Richard Williams, of this city, is driving a very fine four
year old mare sired by Blondie (p) 2:15, trotting 2:19$, out
of Lady Wood (sister to Lady Maud 2:23$) by Rockwood;
second dsm by Kisbar.

T. B. Condnn has bought from Dave Fisher a three year
old colt by Zombro 2:11, out of a mare by Antinous that is
a gaeat prospect for a fast trotter. The colt iB in Mr. Casto's
stable, and Sam is trying to keep him under cover.

We are reliably informed that a party of business men
have at last concluded to lease Irvington track for three
years and will hold their opening meeting July 3d to 7th.
Full particulars will be given next week. These men are not
talking through their hats, nor have no wheels in their beads.

The stallion owners of Clark coonty, Washington, are ar-
ranging a colt show to be held May 19th at Vancouver. Each
stallion must pay an entry fee of $5 in order to makes his
colts eligible to show. This money will go to paying a cash
premium on the best colt exhibited, Bired by any horse,
while another premium will be given, where the produce of
one horse will compete against one another for a eervice fee.

Tbos. 8. Griffith writes that the project of holding a race
meeting at Spokane is progressing nicely, and it looks like
Spokane is coming to the front again as a racing center.
Business men there can well afford to take hold of thiB mat-
ter for the racing game always leaves more money in town
than it takes away, besides it shows a spirit of liberality that
attracts to the business interests of any city.

Zombro 2:11 is destined to be a great sire. His colts in
California are proving remarkably fast. One of hie best
sons is Edmund 8., owned by E House of this city. This
fellow is three years old, and he is one of the grandest
looking individuals in Oregon. Sam Canto, who is jogging
him, says be is developing into a great trotter, and thinks it
will take a mighty good three year old to beat him this year.

When the first steam engine was operated successfully
there were a few people who said that steam power would dis-
place horse power; and when the first locomotive engine was
successfully operated there were a great number of people who
were positively sure that steam power and the locomotive
engine would in a very few years supplant the horse. On
the contrary these very agencies have developed unknown
and previously uninhabited regions of the world, and instead
of decreasing they have increased the demand for and the
usefulness of the horse.

In more recent years, in fact during the past decade, the
application of electricity to a self-propelling machines, notably
the ordinary trolly car, has made it possible for people to
travel very rapidly and cheaply over the streets of all our
cities. This means of rapid transit has made it possible for
business men to live in the outskirts or suburbs of our large
cities, because they c&n make the journey from their
suburban homes to their places of business in the heart of
the city in a very short time. This condition of things baa
caused such men to build their residence in the suburbs, or
perhaps in the country districts along which an electric road
line is in operation. Such men when thev lived in the
crowded congested part of cities did not have the conveniences
for, and could not keep horses. But since they live in the
suburbs or in the country they have plenty of room for
stables and horses, which their families can now afford to
use and enjoy.

Electric cars carry passengers, but do not as a rule carry
freight or deliver merchandise. Coal, groceries and dry
goods, and in fact everything must be delivered a longer dis-
tance than formerly, and this hae caused an increased de-
mand for horees. A few years ago it was a very common
cry that electricity would take the place of horees; but our
experience during the past two or three years has knocked
the theory of those pessimists to smithereenes. Logically the
electric street cars, the same as steam railroads, should be
expected to develop and increase the demand for horses, and
experience has proved this theory to be true. The exper-
ience of men engaged in the production of self-propelling
machinery is, that their machines work most successfully on
smooth, steel rails; and this, too, stands for reason, for even
the least mechanical of us can understand how an auto-
mobile or self-propelling machine can run best on a per-
fectly smooth, hard track. If it is worth while to make such
a machine, it is just as much worth the while of the maker
to also build a track on which his machine can run.

A few years ago all things depreciated in value, and the
price of horses fell in harmony with everything else, and
with the restoration of good times and the re-establishment
of values, the price of horses has again been restored, and
the value of good ones is higher than ever before in the his-
tory of our country.

The succesB and reverses of men engaged in the horse busi-
ness has taught them this lesson, that the only horse that it
does not pay to raise is the scrub. Good ones of every use-
ful breed are very much sought after at the highest prices.
All though good big, heavy draft horses are now selling for
a price that will pay the breeder better than anything else
he can raise on his farm, vet the value of the kind of horses
that are driven in our cities for pleasure, good, big, hand-
some, high acting park and carriage horses never were so
much sought after, and never did command as high prices as
this, the last year of the nineteenth century. [From an ad-
dress by J. R. McLaughlin of Ohio, before the National
Horse Breeders Association.]

Chicago market the previous ten days of the Percheron and
Belgian breeds. They were heavy-boned, short limbed and
round-barreled animals of compact conformation. In color
they were roans, grays, blacks and chestnuts, and weighed
1600 to 2000 lbs. Mr Rosenberg paid $150 to $250 per head

The Sulky.

Plenty of racing this year.

Entes on the Northern Circuit.

Sah Jose will give a big fair.

Horses are in training all over California.

John Splan favors Boralma's chances for the champion"
ship of 1900.

Btjdd Doble has gone to Los Angeles with his Btring of
horses and may remain there.

Anyone looking for a good prospect should see the mare
by Secretary advertised in this paper.

PaoFrr by the lesson being tanght by the horse market
and keep your good mares and breed them.

The Allen farm Pittsfield, Mass., has named three Krem-
lin three year olds for Readville's 2:25 trotting parse.

It is officially announced that the Hartford Futurity
received 2017 entries. This breaks the record of all futurities.

The Maid 2:05$, is being j Jgged at Lexington and is
guessed to be able to beat the record of Lady of the Manor,
2:04*.

The average horse should not be shipped back East to be
sold at auction. He will pay more profit if sold here in
California.

The P. C. T. H. B. A. will give a splendid program for
harness horses this year and will announce it with date and
place of meeting shortly.

M. E. McHehbi's mare Sister Alice 2:16* is moving well
in her training and at the Empire City track one day last
week trotted a quarter in 33 seconds.

The State Fair program for trotters and pacers will be a
good one this year and will attract a higher ciass o-~ horses
than have raced in California for some time.

Chris Peterson 2:13* and Algregor 2:11 have been pur-
chased by Mr. William Bahr of this city from Mr. H.
Dotard. Mr. Bahr will use them on the road.

George Leavitt says when he once sees a horse go a
thoroughly game race, no subsequent performance, however
bad. will convince him that the horse is a counterfeit.

Four inches of clay is being put on the Sacramento track.
It will be in erjlendid shape for working horses on in a few
weeks and will be fast and safe for the State Fair races.

The Santa Rosa track has received its coating of new earth
and the horsemen all say it is near perfection. Always a
fast track when in order, it will be better than ever this year
as the new top dressing will make safe footing.

S. A. Hooper, of Yountville, Napa county, has gone to
Woodland with a string of horses he is training for the cir-
cuit. He has a pacer called Sweitzer, a trotter that he calls
George H, three colts by Falrose and a couple of others.

Lenna A. 2:05* prematurely foaled a colt by Star Pointer
1:69* two weeks ago, and though every effort was made to
keep the little fellow alive, he expired in a short time.
Leans A. will probably be bred to Directly 2:03* this year.

Neve£ were the prospects better for a good season of har-
ness racing in California. There shonld be at least fifteen
week's of racing, beginning Bome time in July. It may be
that the season will open np by the first week in that month.

The Green estate is receiving many inquiries in regard to
the standard bred horses they are offering for sale. Several
offers nave been made for Berlins, the daughter of Directum
that trotted a trial mile in 2:17 at Pleasanton two weeks ago.

H. D. Brown will again get the pacer N. L. B. ready for
the races this year. The son of Diablo has grown and filled
out, although he was always a well bnilt colt, and in his
three year old form shonld get a low record. His mile in
2:23 1 last year was the fastest made by a two year old colt.

The Colusa track is in excellent shape and quite a number
of horses are working over it. There is plenty of stall room
there and the association invites horsemen to bring their
horses there to train. As lit is the starting point of the
northern circuit it should be advantageous to horsemen rac-
ing on that circuit to train there.

The fastest quarter that has been stepped by a trotter this
year was made by Miss Jessie 2:14 at Pleasanton last Satur-
day. Mr. Durfee told the boys he could show them two
minute speed and they all held their watches while he drove
the daughter of Gossiper. The quarter was tnade in 31
seconds, last eighth in 16 seconds. 2:10 ought to be opposite
her name before the close of the season.

G. Lapham has twelve trotters and pacers in his care at
Alameda and will have six or seven more next week. All
these horses are not being trained for the races, but all are
getting regular work of some kind. Mr. L. E. Clawson's
handsome mare Pfccebe Childers 2.12 is a member oi the
string and looks in perfect condition. She will be entered
in her class on the California circuit ihis year. Mr. Lapham
reports that Secretary is having some well bred mares booked
to him Ihis year and expects to do quite a season with him.
The sons and daughters of this horpe are in demand, as they
are invariably fine individuals and show speed.

Ed Lafferty has in his string at Pleasanton a big brown

gelding bv McKinney that stands sixteen hands and must

weigh 1200 pounds. He is oat of a mare by Nephew and

beloogs to David Yjusg, Esq., of Stockton. Mr. Young

Bent him to Lafferty to work as a trotter. He had the toe

weights on and did not step out like a horse that would get

much mooey in the green or any othei classes. Ed noticed

1 ow be was trying to shift all the time and took the weights

off and let him pace. The big fellow struck right out at the

ateral gait and paced the last quarter in 35 seconds.

LaSerty polled bim up and jogged to the three-quarter pole

ind again gave him his head. He came the last quarter in

>5 seconds also. This is a pretty good showing for a horse

hat had been in the trainer's hands bat two weeks.

A. T. Jackson has a string of three at Alameda, which he
is getting ready for the circuit. Cherckee Prince 2:18 looks
better than he ever did and Jackson thinks will be able to
lower his record again this year. The other two in his string
are a three year old bay colt by Vasto 2:16i, out of a mare
by General McClellan, and a four year old black pacing filly
by Direct. They belong so Mr. 4. S. Vager of San Leandro
and are quite promising.

The road drivers of New York will have a grand parade
over the celebrated speedway of that city some time in May.
The road drivers of 8an Francisco could make quite a
Bhowing, and Golden Gate Park offarB aB fine a place for a
parade of this kind as any place on earth. The Golden Gate
Park Driviog Association might take up this idea and act on
it with a certainty that there are bat few days in the year
which would be unfavorable to a fine display of turnouts.

A string of good harness horses can make more money in
California this year than it can in the East, unless it is good
enough to compete against the big stables on the Grand Cir-
cuit. Outside the two or three big eastern circuits, the asso-
ciations beyond the Rockies seldom hang up more than $500
and in the majority of instances much less. There will be
ten oi- twelve weeks of racing in California this year for $1000
purses, and a dozen more where from $300 to $500 will be
offered.

William Overholser is over at the Alameda track with
three horses which he is geiting ready for the races He
has the big roan pacing gelding Teddy the Roan 2:17£, by
Sidmoor out of Vesper Bells by Dawn. Teddy is rather
erratic bat Mr. Overholser is improving his manners and if
he succeeds in getting the wheels out of his head, look out
for a low mark for him. Overholser has a good looking
dark chestnut gelding by Sidmoor, and a gelding by Chal-
lenger Chief, both promising green trotters.

Cloud Pointer 2:24*, full brother to Star Pointer, died
at Chestnut Hill Stock Farm, Chicora, Pa., last month. He
won all his races last year which were on half mile tracks,
arid has shown his ability to beat 2:10, Cloud Pointer is the
third of the sons of Brown Hal and Sweep3takes to die.
Sky Pointer died in California about two years ago, and an-
other, Talisman, was burned in a fire about a year ago. Star
Pointer, Tennessee Pointer and Maary Pointer are the only,
living sons of the only two-minute family.

We are advised by Mr. T. S. Montgomery, of San Jose,
that he has Bold through Mr. B. O. Van Bokkelen to a gen-
tleman in the far East his brown gelding, Boodler, the con-
sideration being $1200 TMb gelding is sired by Boodle
2:12i, dam Bessie S. 2:29£, and showed a mile last year in
2:20£, the last part of it at a free-for-all clip. He was placed
in Mr. Van Bokkelen's hands March 1st and has shown 6uch
remarkable improvement over his last year's work that Mr.
Van Bokkelen soon had him placed at the figure named.

J. M. Nelson's training and Eale stable at Alameda is a
pretty busy place at present. He iB working Arthur W.
2:lli, John A. 2:14 and a colt by Alexis that is showing well
at the trot, besides several others. He has about fourteen
horses under his care at present. Mr. Nelson will have five
or bix horses to campaign and says it will be the best string
he ever handled, A trotter by Stamboul 2:07A, which Mr.
Nelson received a few weeks ago from W. A. Shippee of
Stockton iB a very promising as well as a good looking horse.

H. R. Ward has three good prospects at the Alameda
track, A big handsome gelding called Prince is by The
Dane (son of Stambonl) and looks very much like that
horse. He ib quite a trotter, though he has not been given
any real fast work yet. Mr. Ward has a five year old bay
filly by Diablo that is very speedv. She is owned by Mr. J.
D. Horan, the well known horse dealer of this city. Another
filly in Mr. Ward's care is a four vear old by Chas. Derby
out of a Sable Wilkes mare. She is a trotter and a good one.

WiLLLAii Donathan has a conple of good horses which
he is worsing at Oakland. One is Silver Bow Jr. by Silver
Bow, the horse which Elias Williams trained a little at Ala-
meda last year. The other is McBriar by McKinney. Mc-
Briar was raced last year, but made a poor showing, getting
"in the money" but twice and then only getting fourth posi-
tion. He is going well this year, however, in Mr. Donathan's
hands and has worked a mile in 2:25 verv handily. He has
shown speed enough to drop into the 2.20 list if nothing
happens him.

No race commands more general attention and no race
excites greater interest throughout the country than a free
for all stallion race. Among the horses that might be en-
tered in snch a race this season are: Bineen 2.06*. Peter the
Graat 2:07*, William Penn 2:074-, Jape 2:07$. Fred Kohl
2:07|, Cresceus 2:07*, Tommy Britton 2:08, Direc'um K elly
2:08*, Lord Vincent 2:0S|, Oakland Baron 2:09*, Pilatus
2:09*, Gayton 2:09*, Monterey 2:09*, Pat L. 2:09*, Lecco
2:09|, Coarley Herr 2:10, Greenbrino 2:10*. Gov. Strong
2:10*, Altoka 2:10£, Offyhee 2:11 and Idolita 2:12.

The five year old gelding Dolador, bv Advertiser oat of
Dolly Nutwood by Nutwood, second dam by Geo. M. Patcfaen
Jr., third dam by Williamson's Belmont, which is in Pete
Robinsons care at Alameda, is going like- a trotter this year.
He trotted an eighth in 16 seconds last year, bat was thrown
out of training. He is now working nicely and is a better
looking horse than ever. Dolador is owned by Mr. G.
Parrott of this citv who purchased bim for $50 from a gentle-
man who secured him at a low price as a two year old at a
Polo Alto sale. He worked a Dice mile in 2:25 at Alameda
on Tuesday last.

Jay Beach has returned from his trip to Oregon and was
at the Alameda track Tuesday morning, watching the
trotters and pacers at work. He saw bis famous old stallion
Altamont get his regular three mile jog on the track, and
remarked that the old fellow was a pretty good looker for a
twenty-five year old horse. Mr. Beach will leave for Cape
Nome next month and his many friends in California will
wish that he may bring back a million dollars worth of gold
dust on his return. He says if fortune should favor him that
much he will be in the market for three or four well bred
mareB with marks of 2:10 or better, and will mMe them with
Altamont if he is alive. Mr. Beach thinks that had he
brought Altamont to California when he bought him, where
he could have had access to a larger number of good mares
the stallion would have stood way in the lead as a sire of
2:10 performers. t

The number of horses in training in California this year
is much larger than most people imagine. At Pleasanton
there are at least 100, Los Angeles has the same number, and
the other tracks which we can recall at the moment have
about as follows: Alameda 50, San Jose -50, Sacramento 30,
Santa Ro3a 20, WocdlBnd 20, Winters 8, ValUji 12, Colusa
15, Chico 20, Salinas 20, Eureka 20, Wilows 10, Fresno 10,
Tulare 15 and many others at different places north and
south. This accounts for 500 and there are in all probability
750 harness horses being worked for speed in this State at
the present time.

"The fastest quarter ever paced on a California tract was
paced right here by that big bay gelding," Baid G. Lapham
at the Alameda track last Tuesday, as trainer Shaner went
by with Besort 2:15£. Asked how fast he went Lapham
said that Bill Donathan drove the son of Hawthorne a quar-
ter in 27£ seconds, timed by several watches. The writer has
seen Resort pace a half in 1:01, and all horsemen who Baw
him in his races in 1898 know him to be a regular whirl-
wind, Mr. Shaner is getting Mm ready for the circuit.
Resort is going perfectly sound and Bhows no ill effects of
the severe sprain which caused his retirement in 1898.

The following California bred horses have been entered in
the early closing events at the Detroit Grand Circuit meet-
ing. In the M. & M. $10,000 2:24 trot, Lenora, bay mare
by Mendocino; in the Hotel Normandie $2000 2:09 pace,
Agitato bv Pteinway and Betonica by Azmoor; in the Blue
Ribbon $2000 2:17 trot, Mamie W. by Wildnut, Mary Celeste
bv Oro Wilkes, and MisB Hancock by Advertiser; in the
Hotel Cadillac $2000 2:14 trot, Mamie W. by Wildnut,
Chanty bv Guy Wilkes, Thompson bv Boodle, and Oar
Lucky by R&j±h; in the Wayne Hotel $?0(»0 2:15 class pace,
Lolita by Sidney. The entry list is the largest in the history
of the Detroit association.

The Alameda track was never in better shape than now,
and Peter Robinson, under whose direction it is being
worked, is complimented daily by the trainers who are work-
ing horses there. The entire width of the track is attended
to daily, the water pat on at the proper time, and it is as
smooth aB a floor. It ib very unfortunate that there iB not
more stall room at this track as it ib truly an ideal place for
training. There is a dispute over the ownership of the land
on which the track is built, it being claimed by the U. 8.
Government and by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
The Alameda Driving Club holds possession by arrangement
with the railroad company.

Dk. A. W. Boucher contemplates staying in California
this year as his mare Miss Logan will not be in shape to
train for the hard campaign on the grand circuit, she having
been fired in the shoulder last 8unday for lameness. Dr.
Boucher believes she will be ready to go one fast mile a week
by July however, and it the associations in California will
make it an object to him will start her against the track
record at all the principal meetings except Los Angeles,
guaranteeing to break the record or no pay. Miss Logan's
record is 2:06* and she would not have to get Dot of her
class to win, as no track has a faster record than 2:07 except
tbe one at Los Angeles, where John R. Gentry paced in
2:03* last year.

These is a big bay pacer up at Pleasanton that is claimed
by Dan McCarty, who bred him, to be the greatest pacer on
earth. "White Hat" bases his claim on the following state-
ment which he makes with the usual guarantees of affidavits,
money, marbles or anything else that is necessary. The
gelding never saw a race track, but had been used as a road
horse and found to be very fast. He was taken to the Fresno
track hitched to a bike and sent a half. He went the quarter
In 30$ Eeconds and came the second in 29£ seconds, going his
trial in jast one minate flat. Chas. GrifB.h has the horse at
Pleasanton and is working him to see if he is as good as Dan
says he is but has not equalled the minute mark yet. The
geldinj is by Dexterwood out of a Dexter Prince mare.

A steikg of about six trotters belonging to President A,
B. Spreckels of the State Agricultural Society will be cam-
paigned in California this year by Charles Jeffries. Mr.
JeffrieB will take the horses to Pleasanton in a few days.
Among them will be Dione 2:09* by Eros, Psyche 2:17£ by
Cupid, a filly by Dexter Prince that was trained some last
year but did not start, and three or foar others which Mr.
Spreckels will select from those in Tom O'Brien's hands at
Aptos Stock Farm. Mr. Jeffries is a very competent man
and with any ordinary amount of luck should ride in front
pretty often. Geo. W. Berry, who has had charge of the
Spreckels trotters for the past two years, is now Superintend-
ent of tbe Napa Stock Farm, the beautiful spot on the Napa
river which Mr. Spreckels devotes to the breeding of thor-
oughbreds. Mr. Berry takes the place of the veteran Cy
Mulkey, who resigned to go to the gold fields of the north,
where he has very valuable claims.

Jos. Coicello has a small string of horses at Alameda
which he is working on that excellent track. There are bat
four horses, but all are high ciass prospects. The star of
the string is a four year old gelding which has been named
Puerto Rico. He was bred by the late William Corbett, and
is by Sable Wilkes, first dam Mamie Kohl by Steinway,
second dam Lady Blanchard 2:26* by Whipple's Hamble-
tooian, and third dam old Lady Livingston by Gen- Taylor.
Puerto Rico is a square trotter and will get a record below
2:20 this year. A two year old filly is called Cobs; she is by
Oro Wilkes out of Mattie Menlo by Menlo 13,028, second
dam San Mateo Belle by Speculation. This filly is one of
the raciest looking youngsters we have seen this year and
her way of going is simply perfection. Another '-new pos-
session" is Manilla, a three year old brown filly by Sable
Wilkes out of Tabbie Rosenbaum by Nutwood. Manilla is
also a trotter and of sufficient promise to be classed as one
of the coming good ones. Mr. Caicello has a four year old
son of Direct that fcr looks is one of the best of the many
good looking ones sired by the little black whirlwind. This
fellow is a big bay with a white strip in bis face, fully six-
- teen hands high and weighing about 1150 pounds. He is
wonderfully well developed, a strong fast trotter when urged
but inclined to be a little sluggish. He is oat of a Nutwood
mare. Playmate is his cognomen, and he will start in the
green classes this year. Cuicello says the Alameda track is
in perfect condition all the ttme. being well taken care of,
but tbe accommodations for stalls is such that he is compelled
to stable his horses six blocks from the track, the few stalls
at the track being occupied summer and winter. This makes
it very inconvenient for working a string of horses, and
wastes lots of valuable time.

The Saddle.

Sunbise II, by Salvator, has a tally foal by Libertine.

Abbaces pulled up lame after his last race and has been
retired for the season.

Tuesday was another bad day for favorites, but one of the
six first choices passing the wire in the lead.

Fobte has been troubled with lameness forward since the
four mile race and aseton was put in his shoulder.

Ella Boland and Mortgage have been purchased by
Burns & Waterhouse and Ella Boland raced in their colors
in her last start.

Sardonio, the winner of the mile and a furlorjg race on
Monday, interfered with Tappan in the stretch and was dis-
qualified for a foul.

Cbokeb managed to win the last race Tuesday by a head
from the fast coming Fashion Plate, who with an even break
would have walked in.

Judge Price has reinstated Jockev Enos who was set
down at Sacramento over a year ago. Enos has been riding
daily since the above ruling was made.

Gbebn B. Morris has 36 horses in training at the
Brooklyn Jockey Ulnb track Modrine in the three year
old division is considered the top of the heap.

W. B. Jennings left for the New York tracks Monday
night. He took fourteen head of horses with him. Among
the lot was Daisy F. which has been sold by Mr. Corrigao to
the Hon. W. C Whitney.

Jockry Henry rode a bad race on St. Cassimir on Toes-
da;; be tried rating the colt, which is a free running horee
and likes to go to the front, with disastrous results, as True
Blue nipped him out at the wire and gained the verdict by a
head. 0'"

Apczea, the dam of Sofala, has dropped a colt sired by
imp. Bain at Mr. Scbrieber'e Woodlands Stock Farm. "Mr.
8chrieber has received rather discouraging ^reports from his
farm as mrny of his mares have dropped their foals prema-
turely.

F. W. Erode is not running up to the form displayed by
him before be was shipped over the mountain?; he won a
cheap selling race at .New Orleans, but has failed to gain
brackets in the more important events in which he has
Btarted.

Charlie Thorpe was at Tanforan on Tuesday, which
was his first visit since the accident in which he was so
badly it jjred. The old man seems to have entirely re-
covered and looks to be in better health than he has been at
any time this winter.

Silvertail broke one of hia legs while running behind
the buoch in the fourth race on Tue?day. Powell had just
made a move with the gelding when the accident occurred.
Silvertail coald not be raced again, so George Baldwin
ordared that he be destroyed.

Sacharoid, a filly aired by imp. The Judge — Sacharissa,
and bred at A. B. Spreckels' Napa Stock Farm, annexed the
first race for two year olds oo Tuesday at Taoforan. Despite
toe fact that the odds about her receded from twenties to
fifties, she was fairly well backed, and some nice winnings
were made over her victory.

Mb. Grant, the owner of Princess Ziika, and his mare
were suspended by the officials at Oakland pending an inves-
tigation into the showing made by Princess Z -ika in a seven-
forlong race run at Oakland last week. The Nevada filly
was ftvorite in the race, but showed no speed and finished in
the ruck of a very ordinary field.

8ly was again run up $1000 over her entered price. Mr
Magrane, who ran second with Tuthlll, was the bidder, and
his act did not tend to increase bis popularity with either
the public or the horsemen. Mr. Hanlon has won several
very costlv victories with bis mare this Beason owing to the
fact that she has been repeatedly bid up after winning sell-
ing races.

Favorite players met with hard luck on the opening day
at Tanforan Park. Six first choices came to grief and the
bookmakers made quite a clean up. There has been a dis-
position of late to make a favorite of every hor°e that starts
in the Corrigan colors, whether its previous form justifies it
or not. and four entries from this stable being bowled over on
Monday sent the (alent home sadder if not wiser men.

Tanforan Park Summaries.

The Gebhardt Handicap for $1000 purse was won by
8ofala which picked up 125 pounds and made the field of six
two Tear olds which started against her look very cheap;
Dunfree tried to race with her but she soon opened up a gap
of three lengths and woo eased up. This makes the eleventh
win out of thirteen Bti rls, which is an unprecedented record
for a two year old filly at thi- time of the year.

An interesting interlude in Friday's sport at Memphis was
Captain Reea' lecture to Jockey Tommy Burns and his friend
and adviser, Charley Ellison. Burns was given to under-
stand that he must obev Starter Fitzgerald's orders under
penalty of haviDg his license revoked, and Ellison was told
thit he muH not be so free with his characteristic comments.
Ellison spread the story about town Thursday night that
Fitzgerald was sore oo Bump, and that the soreness was the
starter's only reason for fining Tommy $100 John Schorr
sustained the presiding judge, and said that if Burns did not
submit to discipline he would set him down himself.

The match race between Advance Guard and Andrisa
was won by the colt and proved an easy thing for him.
Andri-a set a hot pace the first part of the race, running the
first half in 4S seconds, and the five-eighths in one minute
flit; at the head of the stretch Advance Guard commenced
to cut down the lead of three lengths and at the end of the
mile which was run in 1:39}. the two eootes'ants were head
and bead; here Advance Guard drew away and won easily
by half a length in the fast time of 1:52} for the mile and a
furlong It is safe to assert that had Piggott ridden Advance
Guard out he could have established a new world's record for
the distance.

''Vigilant," in the London Sportsman, has a capital article
on winning mares at the stud. In his opening remark he

says : "We must never forget when considering questions of
pedigree and breeding that neither blood nor racing merit
will ensure a broodmare unless (be individual animal is rich
in those elements which make for the nutrition and health
of her foal?," This, of course, applies to all stock. Numer-
ous instances are given by the writer of mares, high class
performers, that have been stud failures, but want of success
is not ascribed to the fact that those mares were raced too
long or two severely. The causes, he thinks, quite as likely
are that the mates selected for them have not been suitable
ones, and he thus concludes: "I suppose, however, to the end
of lime, 'the man in the street' will tell you that great race-
mares have invariably failed at the stud. You may mention
Beeswing and Alice Hawthorn to him, but he only smiles
deprecatingly and says those are exceptions that prove the
rule. If you return to the charge and refer to Eleanor and
Blink Bonny, he will admit that they may have done fairly
well to win Derby and Oats and prodnce Muley and Blair
Athol respectively, but what about Marie Stuart and 'lots of
others?' You may thereupon mention Shotover as the dam
of Orion and Buliiogdon; Miss Letty (Oaks), dam of
Weatberbit; Ghuznee (Oafcs), dam of many good ones;
Mendicant (Oaks) dam of Beadsman, etc.; Crucifix (Oaks),
dam of Surplice; Industry, Miami, Lady Evelyn — all found
in good pedigrees; Catherine Hayes (Oaks), dam of Bella*
drum; Marchioness (Oike), very successful in Australia*
Queen Bertha (Oaks), dam of Gertrude, Spinaway, Wheel
of Fortune, etc.; Spinaway (Oaks), dam of Busybody (Oaks)i
dam of Meddler: Jannette (Oaks), dam of Janissary; Wheel
of Fortune (Oaks), dam of OberoD; Jenny Howlett (Oaks)»
dam of Cbittabob, etc ; Regalia (Oaks), dam of Kegal; St.
Marguerite (One Thousand Guineas), dam of Seabreeze, etc.;
Thebais (Oaks), dam of Galasniels; Geheimniea (Oaks),
dam of Freemason and Omladin?; Lonely (Oaks), dam of
Prisoner and Saintly; Seabreeze (Oaks), dam of Tom Cringle
and Sailor Lad."

The writer says he could go on multiplying instances
"for it must not be thought,'' he continues, ''that because I
referred to the peculiar facts of so many Leger winners hav-
ing failed as broodmares I am therefore of opinion that
proved merit on a racecourse is a bar to success at the stud.
On the contrary, it is only reasonable to infer that of two
broodmares individually suited for producing and rearing
healthy, welt nourished foals, the one that could race is
more likely to breed winners than the one which could not.
The moot point is, whether 6evere and searching prepara-
tions for important races do not sap the vigor and vitality of
our fillies so as to render them less fitted — at any rate in
some cases— for their future duties as matrons. Probably
the late Lord Falmouth adopted the wisest plan when he
took what seemed best from either contention and amalga-
mated the two. Thus be did not send mares to his stud till
they had shown high class form on the turf, but he very
seldom kept one in training after her three year old season.
However, the whole question is one which really admits of
no definite conclusion, depending as it does so much on in-
dividual constitutions. There has seldom been a harder
worked mare than was old Primula, by Lord Lyon, yet when
put to the stud she produced Buccaneer as her first foal, she
being at the time eleven years old. It would be rash, how-
ever, to infer from this example that six or seven seasons on
turf are a good preparation for a broodmare.''

Boots Ddrnell lost Potente on Tuesday. The Racine
gelding ran second in a mile race at Tanforan and Albert
Simons, whose horse Orion finished third, promptly filed a
claim with the secretary and acquired Potente for $825.
Mr. Simons got a very cheap horse, as Potente has been a
very useful and consistent performer this winter, running at
all distances and winning quite a number of races. Mr.
Durnell claimed Lothian for the e>ame price at which his
horse was 6old, and seems to have got much the worst of the
trade.

The trap shooting attraction for the Association grounds

the Lincoln Gun Club. Ten events are on the card offering
a variety of shooting evolved by the genius of Edg. Forster
that Bhould satisfy the nitro appetite of the most insatiable
shot gun devotee. Live bird shooting will be in order for
those who wish to try practice work. A week from to-mor-
row the San Francisco Gun Club will shoot pigeons and the
Olympic Gun Club members w ill try their guns on blue
rocks.

Live bird shooting by Olympic Gun Club members and
their friends was the order of the day at Ingleside Sunday
last. During the meeting nearly fifty-five dozen birds were
trapped. The club event was preceded by a race between
M. 0. Feudner and A. M. Shields for the club handicap live
bird medal. Feudner won the race by a margin of two birds*
Mr. Shields shoi from the twenty-eight yard slat, being allowed
twenty-five birds, while Feudner stood on the thirty yard
mark and shot at twenty-three birds. Shields without doubt
was not in bis usual form and also used a gun he was not
accustomed to shoot with. W. A. Marshall, of "pump gun"
fame, has challenged the winner. Feudner has cow won the
medal three times.

Twenty-three shooters shot in the club medal race,
Messrs. S. A. Tucker, of Meriden, Conn., the representative
of Parker Bros., J. Williamson, A. W. Bruner, of Los
Angeles, and Joseph Boss, of Antioch, were guests of the

Messrs. Sweeney, "Slade," Justins and Ed Schultz, scored
eleven out of twelve. Schultz scored clean in shoot-
ing a back score. C. F.] Stone was high gun in Class B.
In the side pool Messrs Golcher and Schultz divided first
and second money, $22, on straight scores. Third money

Following the club race, six bird pools, $2.50 entrance
were in order. Three of these events were shot out, the fact
that many of the birds were good freight carriers accounts
for several ragged scores. In the first of the pool events,
Messrs Haight, M*ekey and Bruner with straight scores
divided the purse. Io the second sweepstake J. V. Coleman,
Frank Maskey and "Sands" were the high gnns and divided
the pool money. In this race Coleman's shooting was a fine
exhibition of skill with the gun, a number of difficult kills
were made in nnexceptional form. Bruner, Haight and
Williamson were the winning shooterB in the third race.

In tbe State Championship Trophy race at twenty-five
birds the scores made were: Haner 20, Fendner 23, Webb
22, Debenham 21, La Motte 20, Javette Jr. 21, Seaver 22.

The Garden City Gun Club members had practice shoot-
ing at their grounds last Sunday. Arrangements are under
way for a regular club shoot to be held shortly, some clever
scores are expected from the amount of regular practice that
the members have been doing.

First honors in the premier trap shooting event for this
season were won by a Canadian who wag high gnn in the
Grand American Handicap, which was concluded at Inter-
state Park, Queens, L. I., on the 5th lost. Howard D.
Bates, of Ridgetown, Ontario, is the new National champion
and winner of the handsome trophy emblematic of this title.
He was tied with seven others for the honors, but in the
miss-and -out-event he held out the longest, killing thirty-
four extra birds. Bates, who is practically a newcomer it
twenty-five years old and has been expert enough to shoot
with the cracks of Canada since he was seventeen years old.
Though almost boyish in his appearance, his work is so de-
liberate and clean that he is clearly entitled to hie new place
among "the cracks" who are veterans at the game. In
Canada he is the holder of the International Trophy, which
he won at St. Thomas, Ontario, being the only competitor to
score twenty-five straight kills.

There were eight men tied with the twenty-five straight
when the principal event concluded. They were H. D.
Bates, J. K. Malone, Baltimore; Phil Daly, Jr., Long
Branch; Col. A. G. Courtney, Syracuse; A. A. Weber,
Brooklyn; T. A. Marshall, Keithsburg, 111., the winner last
year; "J. L. Smith, Hackettstown, N. J„ and C. F. Ayling,
Syracuse. There was $2,513.75 to divide among these
eight, and all but Phil Daly, Jr., are said to have agreed to
a division. He finished third in the miss and out event for
the cup, receiving third guaranteed money, which was $400.
The other seven men, including Bates, the champion, and
Malone, who finished second, divided $2113. The three
high guns by the way were of Parker Eros.' make. If it is
true that all the men who had straight scores on Wednesday
night had agreed to divide, with the exception of Daly, the
seven men received but $96 each. Daly, therefore, although
finishing third, wins more by $300 than the champion.

Twenty-six men were tied with 24 kills. There was for
this lot $2,230.25 to be divided. All but E. E. Neal of
Bloomfield, Ind., wanted to divide. The latter wanted to
shoot, so a miss and out event had to be shot. Sixteen
rounds were shot, and seven were left; when it was agreed to
stop. These seven, including Neal, came in for a few extra
dollars more than they would have received if the $2,230.25
had been divided evenly between the 26,

The thirty-seven men who killed 23 birds divided $881.

Among local sportsmen intense interest in the fortunes of
Clarence Nanman has been manifested. Mr, Nauman finished
the main event with twenty-fonr birds to his credit; last
year he wsb in the money with twenty-three kills. Ne-
man's record for the week is a very creditable one; on the
first day he killed straight in two events, on the second day
in the Nitro Powder Handicap, sixteen birds, he also killed
clean with sixteen other experts. In shooting off the twenty-
four ties he missed his third bird and was out of the money.
In the Consolation Stake, fifteen birds, he was one of nine
shooterB, including Jack Fanning, who scored straight. Mr.
Nanman shot with a new Clabrongh gun made to order for
him by Clabrough, Golcher & Co. W. A. Hillis, well
known to local sportsmen, and another "pump gun" cham-
pion, Mr. Elliott, were conspicuous by their failure to be in
it with the high guns. The scores in the main event are
given below:

Grand American Handicap — Twemty-five birds; $25 en-
trance; birds extra; not class shooting; handicaps 25 to 33
yards; $600 to the first, $500 to the second, $400 to the third,
the balance divided in proportion to the number of entries;
the winner to receive a sterling silver trophy given by the
Interstate Association:

Fighting Fish of the Ooean.

A deep-sea aquarium has many little tragedies cooped ap
within three walls of rocb, with a fronting of glass, and ob-
livious to prying eyes, the daily life of the ocean is re-
enacted, with all its realistic episodes of love and war and
bate. Fierce battles take place. There is a victor and a
vanquished, and a lady fish in the back ground; the sandy
bottom of the tank is ruffled, and tbe wUer is dimmed with
its particles. In vain yon watch for a sight of tbe first blood.
Ragged ecars and torn flesh hanging in ribbonB from tbe
combatants' sides Jo not send the shiver through one they
ought, for the fight is apparently a bloodless one, and before
a blood artery is torn asunder, a clawing, creeping mass grows
out of the gloom, a nervous, ribbon like arm shoots ap from
it, carls rouod one of the fighters, drags it dowo aod bides it
in a twist of tenacles. Tbe octopus, for puch h the ugly,
shiny-looking mass, fattens consumedly, and finally ejects a
shapeless rubble of crushed bone and ecales on to the sand.

He will on occasion clutch hold of a lamp of rock weigh'

ing half a hundred weight, drag it over tbe ground and
place it before the entrance to a hole in the rocks in which a
lobster has gone to sleep after a meal, and thus starve him
until he is weak enough to attack and pull to pieces. His
records for rapacity are inordinate. His own progeny grow
ap around him, and in tbe light of day be rips ihe-ii lo
pieces with his tetrible beak and feasts on their remains. If
a rival worthy of fighting comes his way, there is much puff-
ing of body and distending of eyes on the part of both, they
clutch each other from afar by the end of their tentacles and
fib about for hoars, then, when he sees an opening, he forces
on a clutcb, like the clapping of bands, and they light beak
to beak. 1 he end is always one way, one eats its way solidly
into the body of the other, and absorbs him into his own
system, and what is finally left of the conquered one is not
worth talking about.

There is, however, a more nomadic vagrant, a fighter, tooi
in bis way, who is not above taming over the rejected pieces'
whose house and home for the time beiog is the largest whel k.
shell he can cram bis shrivelled up lail and delicate body into.
The hermit crab has few good qualities. Anything in the
way of rascality, be it murder or rapine, he is capable of tak-
ing a hand in. Often he will make a compact with an
an e an one which has taken possession of th.- roof of his shell —
a compact of defense and alliance. The anemone will wax
fat and big and beautiful upon tbe result of their united
struggles with numberless enemies, who promise to make a
sufficiently satisfactory meal as the result of their conquest.
If the meal, consequential upon defeat, does not promise
to turn out well, the fight is cried off, the anemone curls up
into a lampupon the top of the shell, and the hermit crab him-
self retires into his roomy fastnesB. They help each other in
warfare, the anemone bendingover ihe enemy and fogging his
movements, while the deadly ni[ per down below shoots oat
relentlessly, and what the hermit crab rejects floats up top
to his friend, and all the anemone finds too hard for his deli-
cate organization he drops down to his handier companion,
and so it goes on until the hermit crab, grown gross on rich
fare, becomes too big for his shell, and seeks about for a whelk
of greater proportions whom he assiduously attacks until he is
done to death and eaten out of his shell. Then comes tbe
moment of tribulation in tbe rascal's life, when he seeks in
vain to persuade the trusting anemone to change shells, too,
and the whilom friend and familhr tries all he knows for
days to bring about the desired end; but the most the anem-
one will do is to detach a scrap of himself on to the new
digging, and the hermit crab has to live a life of protective
self-reliance until his new lodger on the roof is old enough
to take care of himself, and help him along in tbe world.
By this time, however, the old friend on the old shell ia no
more. He has missed the fattening tit-bits.

Should an unfortnnate big fish grow weak, he is scented
out immediately by the wolf packs of the ocean, the gaunt,
shark-like dog fish, and attacked on all sides by wriggling
clusters of his enemies, biting, snapping, and tearing away
in fierce contest. He gives up after a despairing Btruggle,
in which he badly wounds some of his adversaries, who, in
their turn, are set upon and share his fate.

The first octopus by-the-by, which was brought to the
New York aquarium was put in a tank with a dog fish. The
companionship was not a happy one, for the dog fish simply
looked upon his rival as a good bit of food, and worried him
all over the tank, never allowing him to rest in one place for
two minutes together. He snipped ofl the ends of his long
tentacles one by one, and catching him as be rushed through
the water while the impetus of motion was upon him, which
rendered him for the time being all but helpless, he caught
him in a vital part, and the octupus sank to the bottom, a
wriggling, helpless mass, with his sharp and active foe still
tugging and tearing away at him, until he had swallowed
him almost whole.

Another nursehound, called the picked dog fish, invaded
the quarters of a conger eel, and seemed rather blinded by
the turpid, slimy surrounding0; yet he rushed again and
again at his opponent, who, however, did not seem any
the wnrse for the vicious digs made at his slime-covered
body, but waited his chance until he got a fair grip under
the throat of tbe dog fish; aod when he let go an boar after-
wards the dog fish was in a sufficient passive condition for
the conger to swallow tail first.

Perhaps less showy, bnt no less vicious, was the enmity
which forced on a fight to tbe death between a lobster and a
crayfish. The extraordinary quickness of their movements,
and the wonderful way in which first one and then the other
would get tbe mastery out of a sudden melee, made it tbe
fight ff warriors The cravfisb finally lost too many lees on
one side, and was bowltd over in his lopsided condition, and
nefore he could recover hie balance both hiseyeB were nipped
off. The end then camp, when tbe lobster ripped ofl the
back shell and feasted upon bis prize. When his meal was
over he buried the remains, shell and all, in the shingle, and
slept tbe sleep of the just over all that was left of the cray-
fish, only to wake up a day or two after with an appetite that
was no respecter of the grave of the buried crayfish, which
he digged up again and finished ofl. It is so all through tbe
tanks; peace reigns until feeding time livens ap the pugna-
cious natures of the cold blooded denizens of the deep, and
even the monster devil fish comes out of tbe sulks to take in
at one gulp dead food and straggling whiting before he
settles for the night in his gloomy, slime-covered c irner;
while crayfish sit in solemn conclave in a division of spo'i's,
which; in their case, is a dead octopus — an easy conquest.

of the law were particeps criminis, in that, (one of
tbem aided the defendant in his alleged violation of the
fish law. This in iteelf was enough to throw the
c«se out of any tribunal. Tbe defendant had, we are in-
formed, the reputation of being an inveterate and persistent
bieaber of the law. The action of tbe official who gave the
evidence upon which tbe complaint was issued was repre-
hensible to a degree. Another complication in tbe farce
was the uncalled for action of the Justice of the Peace in
allowing a jury to be .impanneled in a case that was clearly
a preliminary one, in which, if evidence of the crime charged
was sufficient, the case should have been remanded to tbe
Superior Court where the trial by jury would be in order.
For the time being the case is settled, Mr. Bertrand has paid
all tbe costs, including the amount of $20, which is the
minimum of fine in cases of this character and all this upon
motion of tbe prosecution with the saoction of tbe justice.

The case of one Joe Bertrand of Tocoloma, Marin county,
charged with indictable misdemeanor for alleged taking nf
trout with book and line in close season came up for a second
beating last Saturday at Nicasio before Justice Miller.
Upon investigation of the charges It was shown that the
Deputy Fish Commissioner who lodged Ihe origiual complaint
erred in his judgment relative to a necessary knowledge
of tbe bearing upon a violation of the statute nnder which
the complaint was filed, nr either, willfully and ignorantlv
preferred charges that upon his sworn testimony precluded
the possibility of a conviction. We will not here pass
upon the merits of tbe case or npon any particular phase
of the matter other than this, that from the developments
in the'cue, it seems the authorized officers and guardians

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The work of preparation for the coming bench show goes
merrily on, from the great amount of interest taken in the
coming exhibit and affairs pertaining to dogs and dogdom

one would readily im-
agine that tbe canine
milleniam bad arrived.
Entries will posi-
tively close on the 22d
inst., in anticipation of
a rush, tbe office of tbe
Kennel Club at No.
228 Montgomery street,
will be open on and
after April 15th until 9
o'clock each evening.
Mr. David Sinclair le-
ports entries coming in
with a more than re-
assuring volume than
ordinarily at this e&rlr date Those who have already made
entries are taking quick advantage of tbe services of Mr. Fred
H. Bushnell, tbe official photographer, and have bad their
pets and favorites "taken" in a variety of position and styles
that go in a spirited manner to show dog character and
vivacity.

Among the latest trophies offered are the prizes given by
Mr. I. Zellerback and Powhaltan Kennels, these to be striven
for by fox terriers.

Warren Sceptic, a fox terrier recently brought out here by
N. H. Hickman E=q , is the subject of illustration in this
column.

One of the most striking features to a spectator at a
pigeon-shooting contest, outside of tbe skill of tbe wing
shots, is the remarkable intelligence and cleverness of the
dogs which do ihe retrieving. As a rule, selterB, pointers or
Bpaniels are employed, but in many instances half-bred docs
do the work far better than tbe thoroughbreds. It is suffi-
cient to Bay that in trap shooting a dog has to have great
speed and endurance, combined with good judgment, in Dot
driving lightly hit birds over the boundary, while in field
shooting a far slower animal will do belter work, instances
by the hundred could be related of bow matches have
been won and loBt by the dog, and, if the truth be told, far
more matches have been won than ever lost through the
mistakes of man's four-footed friend. Down at the West-
minster Kennel Club one of tbe best retrievers they have,
though rarelv uBed in matches, is a bull terrier, while abroad
the London Gun Club has a ball dog whoee retrieving ie
little short of marvelous.

The winner of the National Pointer and Setter Trials
Championship 8take at Shrewsbury, Kng., in 1871, was Mr.
8latter's Dan. In describing tbe final heat it was reported
that Shoi , owned by Mr. T. Groom, was soon disposed of by
Mr. B. Field's black and while dog Bruck, one of tbe great*
est setters in EngUnd of his lime, Dan out-paced Kate, also
owned by Mr. Field so much as lo astonish all, this bitch
usually led alt her competitors. This stake wan an import-
ant one, the prize was a piece of plate valued at £20, and
was regarded as being to some extent a trial between Ibe
comparative merits of Mr. Laverack's breed and that of Sir
Bellingham Graham, as exhibited in Mr. Field's Duke.
Bruce, described erroneously as by Duke, was really by Mr.
Mr. Laverack's Dash out of Mr. Stalter's Rbocbe, while Dan
was out of the same bitch by Duke, The latter was out of a
litter of nindten, ten of whioh were reared by the dam her-
self. Tbe ahove result would go to show the superiority of
Duke as a stock dog over Dash. Field's Duke and Rhrcbe as
well as Stutter's Dan appear in tbe breeding of every
prominent English setter and field trial winner of note in th'
United States to-day.

The Tacoma Show.

A Famous Oollle Dead.

The second animal bench Bhow of the Tacoma Kennel Clab
(P. K. L ) we are advised wag a success financially and socially
The attendance being very good during the show days, 4th(
5th and 6.b ineta. The rat-killing contest, savs the Ledger,
was aB good as any previous night's sport, a d in the winners'
contest some of the very best work that has ever been seen
by a Tacoma audience was done on the closing night, every
terrier doing bis prettiest and seeming determined to win.
Many of the dogs appeared in the bench show at Seattle this
week; they will be taken next week to Portland, then to Vic-
toria and possibly Vancouver. The following is from the
Tacoma Ledger:

The judging of the exhibits took place April 5th in the
afternoon and the fortunate dogs who secured ribbons are
mightily elated over their victory. In the class of pointers,
over fifty-five pounds in weight, Doc, the Tacoma Ledger
representative, won first and was highly commended. The

Id refining to tbe awards made by ih« judge of non-
eponing doge, it will be eeen lhat the piecing of the Irish
terriers is identically the same aB had been previously
judged by the arbiter of the honors for sporting dogs. This
is an illustration in telepathic judging that is marvelous, to
■ay the least.

Bczzie, the most widely known dog in Chicago, will never
again arouse the admiration and curiosity of people by her
remarkable performances. The wonderful collie has verily
"had her day" and her owner, George 8. CIssod of No. SO
Bryant avenue, is convinced that she was poisoned on the
evening of March 29th.

Bozzie was not a trick dog. She was a student and philoso-
pher, so far as her achievements can be said to fall within
the terms usually applied to mankind alone. Her most
puzzling feat, however, was that of the application of her
knowledge through the medium of telepathy. For instance)
she is said to have possessed the faculty of reading the mind
of a person who would think of his age while holding his
hand on her head, and of indicating the number of years by
barking them off without mistake.

This apparent power of intuition was not known to her
owner until discovered by an expert telepathist- At that
time Mr. Clason already had taught her simple arithmetic,
aod was preparing to instruct her in algebra She could
add, subtract, multiply and divide, and was regarded then as
having a fair education. But when her occult powers were
proved a new field for development was opened that was im-
mediatelv given attention. Bozzie was sued a ready pupil,
and so thoroughly interested auditors and spectators, that
she was a money-maker, and during last year she gave to
charity the amount of $1165, derived from her efforts.

The talented collie could apply her knowledge of mathe-
matics in a way that was unmistakable, although simple.
She could count the number of people in a room and indicate
it by a corresponding r>um erof barks She could properly
add and subBtract from the number, as tbe people retired
or others entered the room for the purpose of testing her.
Mr Clason would turn her over to other persons, in order
to allow them to ask her questions, bo that there could be
no charge of his controlling her answers by signal.

She could perform mental addition, as well as count
scattered material objects laid before her. It is said that in
reading the mind of a subject who selected two of the num-
erals below ten and thought of them while holding bis band
on her head, she would mentally add them and announce the
result by barking it.

Bozzie will not be preserved as a mounted relic in the
family of her owner, although she was handsome enough to
warrant such preservation, she wag a eable with a white
muzzle, frill, feet and tail-tip. The members of the house-
hold desired that she be buried, as they felt that it would
be too pathetic a sight to view her mute form where they
had known her in life — as they say, "the smartest dog that
ever lived."

Bozzie was a member of a famous family. Her sire was
the famous trick dog Boz, who was once sold for $5000.
Boz is dead, but his deeds are fresh in the memory of the
man who owned him. This famous dog was born and bred
in Michigan, and for the first three years of his life he was
nothing more nor less than a sheep dog. One day his
master, D. H. Harris of Mendon, Mich , uodertook to teach
the dog a simple trick, Boz proved an apt pupil and in less
than a month had mastered all the tasks set out f jr him.
He picked out the proper playing cards from a fresh and
unmarked deck. He was able to select and distinguish differ-
ent coins. His reputation grew until 6oally a Chicago man
who had heard of his cleverness paid $1500 for him.

But tbe sale did not B°parate Boz from bis master, for Mr.
Harris found that he could not rest without his canine com-
panion near him, and, after walking the fl ior all night long,
he took tbe check for $1500 back tn its maker. The Chicago
man appreciated the situation and gave up the dog. Mr.
Harris and Boz went back to Michigan and devoted some
more time to educational n atters. But agiin Mr. Harris
was tempted, and this time he sold Boz tor $5000 to Milcolm
Forbes, the millionaire of .Boston, Three days after the
arrival of B< z in BoBton his new owner telegraphed to Mr.
Harris that the collie was not obedient to command. It was
apparent that Bcz objected to a change of masters and the
millionaire willingly resold him to Harris for $500 Mr.
Harris would never again consent to part with Boz after
that, aod the collie died lrom old age. Boz was in this city
with his master about seven years ago and in tbe Baldw;n
rotunda gave many clever exhibitions of his wonderful

faculties.

Traits and Characters in Some Dogs.

Readers of dog literature are familiar with many things
written extolling the virtues and intelligence of breeds and
particular dogp; other traits showing the shady aide of a
dog's nature, not however without a touch of comedy, are
related by a writer in tbe Fanciers' Beview as follows:

The dog, it has always been held, is man's best friend, but
the reverse of this cannot always be said. Man is frequently
tyrannical and downright cruel to dogs. One thing in quite
certain, viz , that the sneaking, criminal deformity of dogs is
due to the influence of man — such weakness does not belong
naturally to caoine character. Bogs will hunt and fight,
will poach, to satitfy their natural cravings, but they have
to be taught to smuggle and to sneakishly steal uneatable
articles for the sake of vulger gain. We have all heard of
the cunning poodle who frequented the Pont Yeuf in Paris
io a chronic slate of disreputable dirt and mud with the ex*
press design of rubbing his tangled coat on the polished shoe9
of paBsing dandles, so that his master should never lack con-
stant and profitable work. Such an idea would never enter
the head of even a French poodle. It germinated in the ill-
regulated mind of his maBter, and, doubtless, had to be im-
parted, not without pain, to tbe canine clown. Possibly,
when once tht four footed reprobaie had grasped the notion
and conceived its after results, he may have taken to the oc-
cupation with zest. Dogs, lifte men, find the process of slip-
ping down the inclined plane of depravity an only too easy
job. Certain it is that tbe French shoe-black poodle had an
imatator on London Bridge.

It must be admitted that most dogs have a decided taste for
poaching. So, perhaps, it wbb found an easy matter by dis-
honest men to enlist the aid of dogs in their smuggling
ventures. Oh the Continent large, able-bodied dogs have
been trained to smuggle all kinds of duty payable articles,
from tobacco and spirits to Bilks, laces, ammunition and the
much more dangerous and forbidden books and printed tracts,
Such canine smugglers become very cunning, eluding the
vigilance of the custom officeis and police in a way that man
could hardly hope to do. Then, too, if brought to bay they
could fight in a formidable manner, and thus, perhaps, enable
their rut bites masters to pass valuable packages unobserved
owing to the deadly turmoil. The dogs died, perhaps, after
slaying an enemy or two, but their masters made a good
thing of it, and only lamented the Iosb of their four-footed
allies because it gave them the trouble to train new recruits
to take the place of the fallen. Dog smugglers were also
useful watchmen. 1 have more than once patted the intelli-
gent, if wicked, heads of dog smugglers on the Italian and
French frontiers, and in that deligntfully beautiful nest of
iniquity, the principality of Monaco. Some of these,
through long acquaintance with tobacco, had become accom-
plished smokers — one even had fallen bo low as to enjoy a
chew— just like that wretched old ram at Molesy-lock-on-
Thames, who used to roam about boating men ready to beg
or steal tobacco, which he considered a toothsome delicacy.

A worse form of canine misdemeanor was discovered in
Paris a few days ago. Tradesmen began to complain that
any goods exhibited outside or in the doorways of their
shops disappearod with undue frequency. The shops were
watched, aod it soon became evident that the culprits were
dog;-; dogs, too, of the most innocent appearance. There
was, however, one curious matter in connection with these
marauders. They by no means confined themselves to an-
nexing to their own use succulent legs of mutton, toothsome
pieces of beef, tempting concoctions supposed to be made up
of pig's flash, or other edible article?; they were just as
anxious to Hppropriate silk Bcarves, dresses, trousers, bcots or
even articles de vertue. Of course, it was just possible that
these do*B mignt have suddenly developed an abnormal
detire for collecting miscellaneous property, either on Social-
istic principles, imbued with miserly notion, or for the mere
pleasure of collecting and possessing. But the police doubted
this. Instead of catching tbe thieves they allowed them to
steal and then followed them. It was not an easy task, for
the dogs were fleet of foot, but still more knowing as to the
intricacies of street geography. However, patience in the
long run generally winB the day, and at iast the four-footed
tbievea were discovered in the act of delivering their plunder
to two-footed receivers in exchange for a cake, or a kick, for
dogs are faithful even to tyrants. ThiB discovery put an
end to the game.

Dogs have become homicides, egged on either by criminals
or by philanthropists. To justify this laet assertion it is
only necessary to remind readers that Newfoundland and
other acquatic dogs have killed more drowning human beings
than they have saved, because in their excitement they pat
and bob the gasping man under the water. Dogs Lave been
trained to bunt men, not only in the land of liberty, America,
but in old Europe. And quite recently it was suggested lhat
dogs should be trained to render assistance in war time as
sentinels, messengers, carriers and scouts.

Quite a heinous form of depravity is often to be met with in
very small dogs— ladies pets. These take a fiendish delight
in turning a visit paid by a nervous eld gentleman, or timed
and shy youngster into a terrible penance. They sniff round
tbe feet, eye bis trousers, sit opposite to one and snarl and
bark, and then when the unhappy victim tries to retreat with
a graceful bow towards tbe door, the little imp is at one's
heels, sampling the heels of one's trousers. This is uncom-
fortable, and the hilarious delight of tbe ladies hardly im-
prove matters. Aasuredly such dogs can only be considered
man's beet friends in a negative way; they frighten one away
from their mistresses, who encourage such depraved habits in
their dearest pets.

Much more might be said of the bad influence of man on
dog nature, but it is pleasanter to think that this is only ex-
ceptional, and that on the whole an influence for gio ', tend-
ing towards mutual esteem and happiness is the rule.

We came across the following old story a few days ago.
Isidore Froidure, servant to M. Ternisein, an innkeeper at
Boulogne, set out for Mootreuil on the night of it e 13th De-
cember 1823, with a cart of herrings destined for Paris. He
had performed the same purnev for several succeeB ve nights,
and overpowered with fatigue, fell fast asleep on his horse as
he traversed the forest of Longvilliers. He was thrown, and
the wheel passed over his head. The horses continued
their route and reached Neuville. where their appeirance
without tbe driver led to the apprehension that some accident
had befallen him. A postillion was mounted and sent to
explore the road. At the entrance of the forest a league and
a hf If from Neuville, he beard the howliags of a dog, and
soon after discovered the animal by tbe orp^e of his nasier
which he would not sofljr him to approach. He therefore
returned to Neuville for assistance, and a person named
Dumousier was the only one the dog would al'ow lo come
ne ir, he being dressed m a blue carter's garb like the one
worn by Isidore. The Hog was at last got away and taken to
Neuville while the body was buried, but he broke the cord
with which be was tied, and made his way once more to the
spot where his master had been killed. He was afterwards
taken to Boulogne, but it was fully three days before he
would touch food.

A few davs ago we came across a story showing the
sagacity of the canine race. Some years ago a gentleman
wsb traveling bj tbe Liverpool Umpire Coach, aod during
the journey he fed and made much of a spaniel owned by one
of the passengers. Between Lichfield and Congteton the dog
made several attempts to jump out of tbe coach, which in-
duced the gentleman to ask the gimrd to let the coach top.
As soon as the animal was let out of the coach, he rau back
along the road at his best speed and soon returned with a
small parcel, which it was found the dog's friend had dropped
without noticing it.

Dairy Notes.

Clean the entire body of the cow often. If
the hair in the region of the odder is not
easily kept clean, it should be clipped.

Feed skim milk calves grain as soon as they
will eat it. The fat forming habit gained in
their first three months will stick to them.

To increase yonr herd, raise your own
heifer calves for your best cows, bomber one
cows are not always to be had, and the buyer
is often deceived.

Promptly remove from the herd any ani-
mal suspected of being in bad health am'
reject her milk. Never add an animal to the
herd until certain it is free from disease,
especially tuberculosis.

It is perhaps too much to expect all farm-
ers to keep thoroughbred cows, for they could
afford the cost , bnt there are often excellent
cows among highly graded stock, which, if
carefully selected, will prove all that one
could ask. The great secret is in knowing
and culling out those which are unprofitable.

In cheese making, as in butter making,
salt plays an important part. It tends to
lessen the water content of cheese, and in so
doing exerts an influence upon the ripening
process. It is also equally useful in giving
the cheese a pleasant flavor. A coarser salt
than for butter making is often preferred. The
same objections, however, may be urged
against the impurities. The presence of
chloride of magnesium and calcium give rise
to a bitter taste, and colored specks and other
impurities in the Bait become apparent in the
product and tend to lessen its value.

for its splendid condition,
despite all the changes of
weather, as for its superb
climate, has passed into
new hands. Two hundred
splendid new box stalls
have been erected and the
most thorough system of
water laid on, conveying
water to all stalls. The
track itself has been thor-
oughly overhauled and put
in to the best shape pos-

\ EDITORIAL GOSSIP AND COMMENT. I

The Breeder and Sportsman hopes to be able to inform
its readers in the next or succeeding iesae where the P, C. T.
H, B. A. will hold its meeting this year. The question is
being frequently asked by horsemen who are preparing their
trotteis and pacers for the California circuit as all are inter-
ested in knowing whether the "Breeders" will open the cir-
cuit or not. That the meeting wi!l net be held in San
Francisco or Oakland is reasonably certain. The laws
against betting keeps all racing out of San Francisco, and
the Oakland track (admirable as it is for running events) is
not suited for harness racing and owners of valuable
trotters and pacers unanimously object to the meeting being
held there if any other track is available. During 189S and
1S99 the P. C. T. H. B. A. held its annual meetings at
Santa Rosa. They wen highly successful and high class
racing was held, thoroughly enjoyed and well patronized.
The people of Santa Rosa would like to have the meeting
held there again this year, and as the track, always a fast one,
has been covered with a coatiog of new soil and otherwise
improved, horse owners are very favorably inclined to the
city of roBes.

But there are other places bidding for the meeting.
Marysville, which has claimed the week on the circuit just
preceding Woodland, will submit a proposition to the Direc-
tors of the P. C. T. H. B. A. next week, and Mr. William
Hogoboom was in San Francisco a few days ago on business
connected with the offer. The Marysville track is an excel-
lent one, and is now in perfect condition. It is proposed to
hold the district fair the same week and devote the entire
State appropriation to premiums for live stock and other
productions of the district and turn the race meeting over to
the Breeders association. Mr. Hogoboom said the citizens
would be willing to give the association quite a bonus
and the use of the track would be offered free. The
fact that Marysville was the home of the late D. E. Knight
who at the time of his death was the acting President of the
Breeders association has been urged by several residents o'
that city as one reason why the meeting should go there this
year, as they consider it would be a compliment to the
memory of a uaan who spent much money and time to ad-
vance the interests of the trotting horse in California and for
years was an active and earnest worker for the success of the
P. C. T. H. B. A.

Stockton is in the lists and will also submit a proposition
to the Breeders Association in all probability. The Stockton
people, like those at Marysville, desire to hold a fair and
allow the Breeders to manage the racing portion of the pro-
gram. The slough city is one of the most important of the
interior cities of the State, and the inducements of a gener-
ous bonus and the assurance of good large gate receipts will
be items worth considering by the Directors.

There may be other places enter the lists by the time of
the meeting of the Board next week, and the horsemen can
rest assured that in selecting a location their interests as well
as those of the association will be duly looked after. No
matter where held there will be a big program of $1000
purses offered, and the owners of trotters and pacers will find
that all classes of horses are provided for.

So many associations will give meetings in California this
year, and the amount of money already hung up is already
bo large, that the California circuit will be a better place to
earn money with a trotter or pacer than will nine-tenths of
the circuits across the mountains. We advise California
horsemen, therefore, to stay at home and try to get a portion
of the good things here than to go abroad and run the risk of
being stranded in a strange land, without money or horse
feed and the walking bad. Should the circuit open at Santa
KoBa, and Napa and Yallfjo give meetings (propositions
which both are seriously considering) the route of the trotting
and pacing possession will be about as follows: Santa Rosa,
Napa, Vallejo, Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico, Marys-
ville, Woodland, State Fair (two weeks), Stockton, San Jose,
Tanforan Park, Salinas, and from there on south, with a
meeting at Lob Angeles certain and several others probable*
This will give at the least calculation 16 weeks of harness
racing, with an aggregate of about $150,000 to trotfor. It
will be worth training for.

Some of our readers may not understand the placing of
Tanforan Park in a trotting circuit. The official advertise-
ments have not been issued as yet, but it is the intention of
the management of the Western Turf Association to give a
fair and harness meeting combined with an open air horse
show some time this fall. They will conduct it on a grand
scale and it will cerlaiuly be one of the features of the Cali-
fornia circuit. The Tanforan track will be an ideal trotting
course and it is more than likely that records will be broken
over it. The idea is to offar gaod premiums for all kinds of
farm live stock, and have a cattle display that will vie with
that made at the State Fair. The leading herds of this State
and Nevada will be asked to compete and an exhibition of
this kind will be particularly advantageous to exhibitors as
it will be visited by thousands of .people from San Francisco
•a ho seldom attend State or District fairs. The open air
' oree show will be made one of the attractions of the meet-
ng, and Burlingame and its surrounding country will be

drawn on for a large entry list. The harness races will fur-
nish the sport for the afternoon and there is no doubt but
they will be well patronized. The Tanforan people will
have the best wishes of all interested in the harness horse in

this enterprise.

That the purses given for trotters and pacers in California
this year will compare very favorably with those given by
the Eastern associations can be readily seen by looking over
those already advertised for the Northern California circuit
and comparing them with the following program recently
issued by the Goshen, New York, association, which holds
one of the principal meetings in the East outside the Grand
Circuit. As high as twenty thousand people pay to go
through the gates at Goshen on special days. The program
is as follows : There are five stakes of $1000 each for trotters,
affording classes for horses five seconds apart in speed all the
way from the 2:15 class to the 2:35 class. Another stake of
like value is open to pacers of the 2:18 class, and there is a
$500 stake for three year old trotters of the 3:00 clasB. En-
tries to these stakes will close on May 1st. Five other purses
are announced to close on Aug. 4th, the 2:12 trotters and the
free for all pacers receiving $600; the 2:17 and 2:22 trotters
$500, and the 2:26 trotters $400. Our California horsemen
should appreciate the fact that towns like Colusa, Willows)
Chico, Red Bluff and Woodland, where 1000 paid entrances
per day would be a big gate, hang up as liberal purses as
Eastern towns like Goshen. The way to testify to an ap-
preciation of the conditions here is to enter liberally all

through the northern circuit.

^ ■
At the Sacramento Track.

Sacbamento, April 16, 1900.

Editor Bheeder amd Sportsman — The State Agri-
cultural Society's grounds present a very lively appearance
just now with Biz four-horse teams, two wagons and a force
of men at work reclaying the track. About four inches of
clay is being put on and the contract will be completed by
the end of this week. The committee in charge are leaving
nothing undone to make the Sacramento track the fastest one
in the State. The wise ones who have been looking it over
Bay the track will be at least five seconds faster than it was
last year.

The way some of Vet Tryon's string of good ones are feel-
ing they seem to be just waiting to get a rap at it, to show
the "old boy" what they can do.

E. B. Smith's Mollie Nurse 2:14} never looked better than
at present. He also has Swift Bird 2:29} She is due to
foal soon and Mr. Smith intends taking the colt away and
getting the Bird ready for the Northern circuit.

The Tuttle Brothers' stallion Stam B. 2:11} looks fine, and
with such mares as the dams of Phenol 2:11}, Stella 2:15},
Lizzie Ely 2:24 and Aurelia 2.22} booked to him, his produce
will surely make a good showing within a few years. Stam
B. has been bred to 32 mares to date and will have more than
fifty by June 1st.

Laurel 2:13} foaled a filly on April 13th by Stam B. that
looks a "wonder,"

Mrs Callendine had the misfortune to lose Diawood Jr.
the other day. Blood poisoning resulting from castration
was the cause.

Hi Hogoboom has ten in his string, having added two new
ones lately. Diamont 2:17, recently purchased at the
Knight sale, needB no introduction. The other is Dagon by
Sable Wilkes, a full sister to Anna Belle 2:27}, the dam of
La Belle (2) 2:16. Mr. Hogoboom will race on the Northern
Circuit and expects to win some Oi those $1000 stakes. The
Waldstein filly in his string, owned by Mr. Button of Wood-
land, looks as if she would get a low mark this year. She
stepped a very fast quarter this morning.

Dr. McCollum has four horses in Al Walden's charge.
Silver Bee never looked so well as now and with Al's careful
handling and good judgment he should stand up all right.

Homer Burton has a fine big bay three year old by Arthur
Holt, dam by Jerome Eddy 2:16, that he says will talk for
himself soon.

The black mare Elevator 2:29} looks fine in Tom Holmes1
charge and shows vast improvement. Mr. Holmes has a
four year old green pacer by a son of Nutwood Wilkes, out
of a mare by Fallis, that he likes very much and thinks
will do.

Up to date there have baen 180 thoroughbred foals dropped
this year at Eancho del Paso. Dan C.

Phippen Marks the First Three Year Old of 1900.

''How can a horse be put in shape for exhibition ? " The
answer depends somewhat on the condition of the animal we
start with. What will be required by one horse may not suit
another. I presume the inquirer refers to rather soft horses,
such as have done no work, or have been turned out in
pasture, and the following advice is on that supposition:

1. Carefully inspect the teeth and see if any eharp outer
edges are likely to cut or irritate the sides of the mouth when
masticating bis food. If so have the float used, but no more
than is necessary.

2. Notice if the horse's breath is sweet; indigestion or
stomach worms may stand in the way of his being conditioned,

3. A week's treatment for worms is a very safe practice.
Even if they do not show pronounced symptoms, they are a
great hindrance and will become much worse as soon as yon
begin grain feeding. A general bonse cleaning of these pests
is most desirable.

4. Give the horse a good shampoo bath — very thorough —
with a Bcrubbing brash, and follow this bath, after rubbing
nearly dry, with a dilution of creoline, about one part creo-
line to ten of water. Let this dry on the horse. Creoline,
by the way, is something no stable ought to be without.

5. See that the stable has perfect ventilation, and that the
horse is provided with a dry, clean, airy bed.

6. The feed I would recommend for a really aoff horse —
that is, slim — is one-half oats, one sixth corn, one-sixth bran,
one-sixth oil cake, a pinch of sait (oats and corn whole).
This is for the evening feed, and is prepared at noon by
pouring boiling hot water upon it, just enough thoroughly to
wet the mixture. Four quarts of the above mixture is
enough to start with, followed by a small lock of hay — five
or six pounds. For the morning feeding, two quarts of
whole oats to begin with. If the horse is very thin, part of
this feeding may also be whole corn. This is ail fed dry.
At noon feed a little hay and a few raw potatoes, or potato
parings or carrots; both are most excellent appetizers.

After a few days, begin a modeiate walking exercise for an
hour in the forenoon (no hay is fed in the morning). This
exercise ib only intended to sharpen the appetite. As to hay,
ten to twelve pounds per day is quite enough at noon and
night — that ie, if the exercise is in the mornijg; if in the
afternoon, feed the hay night and morning and none at noon.
The grain ration may be increased gradually, but care must
be taken not to overdo it.

When the animal has improved in condition to a point
where additional flesh is not required, take away the corn
and bran. The corn makes fat. We must now begin the
hardening process, and substitute muscle for fat; besides,
corn is heating, and now that the animal is in condition to
go to work the corn is not wanted; but it is always better, I
believe, to get the condition of the horse up before the
hardening process begins than to try to work it on with a
thin horse to start with. Never feed up to your horse's limit
or capacity, or you will likely have a setback.

Now his exercise may be more to develon his muscle.
Clear oats are good enough. You can still continue the
cooking of the evening meal; add a little oil .cake and dis-
continue the bran and corn; increase the oats. Give him
about ten or fifteen minutes a day in a field, makinglhim
show off to the best advantage, just as you would in a soaal \
inclosure, or with a judge in the ring, but never whip him;
fear in a horse has lost the owner many prizes.

This work before the imaginary judge should only be done
when the horse is feeling fit. If you had been out with bim
yesterday and he did well, and to-day he has not his usual
heart in the game, take him straightway from it. He will
soon associate this short turning out with doing his best. A
few ten or fifteen minutes in the imaginary show ring give
him his daily work, but do not get him heated. Once, pos-
sibly twice, a week a good sweating may do good, but do not
do anything to worry him in the least. See that the har-
ness does not chafe him or anything else. If he shows signs
of "getting above himself" reduce the grain or increase the
work, but never the former to a point of loosening the bowels
or the Utter to a point of weariness.

Do not get the notion that fit can make a show horse. It
is a poor substitute for muscle. You must have not only the
spirit, but the muscle to carry it out.

You are likely now to overdo the matter; therefore keep
him back a little until a few days before the fair. Then pat
on a little more steam, but how much no one can advise; yon
must be your own judge in each individual case. Begin
three months before the show; bring him to it fit in flesh and
fit in condition; then you are in a position to get all there is
out of a horse when he comes into the show ring.

With teeth all right, stomach and bowels in perfect work-
ing condition, it is surprising how rapidly the above treat-
ment will condition most horses. Then if you can "top
tbem off' hard, they are bound to be fit. The great secret
in feeding and fitting horses is to make yourself conform to
their ways, rather than to try to make them yield to your
ideas. Study the horse and each particular horse, and yon
will learn more from them than I can tell you. The above
plan of feeding and conditioning has worked remarkably well
for me in most cases. Try it. F. 8. Fees.

The Ever Potent Outcroea.

A good friend of mine discussing, not long since, the mer-
its of a great sire of trotters, assured me that the greatness
came from the large number of crosses to American Eclipse.
He may have been correct. But these remote cross theories
never had much weight with me. I would rather have a
lean steak on my own dining table than to catch the odor of
a juicy one from the house across the way. It has been one
of what John Splan calls "notions" with me, for some years,
that the greatest trotters must be the result of a more or less
positive outcross. And at this point I propose to lug in the
Year Book and prove that I am right. I know that almost
anything can be proved by that work, yet I feel confident
that the fellow who tries to demonstrate by it that close in-
breeding his accomplished more than outcrossing will find
that he has begun a task that will bend his back, if it don't
break it. Before I go any farther I want it distinctly under-
stood that inbreeding is discussed herein under this meaning,
viz., the mating of bods and daughters of horses that were
by the same sires, or otherwise nearly as closely related. For
instance, the mating of a son of Anteeo with a daughter of
his own brother, Anteroa. Or the mating of a daughter of
Ponce de Leon with a son of his brother-in-blood, Prodigal.
If that is not sufficiently piain I will go a little farther and
state that this is not a discussion, bat is a presentation from
the records, showing that the best of the successful sires
have resulted from an outcross and that nearly all the great
trotters have been produced that way.

Nearly everything begins with Maud 8., and I do not pro-
pose to break in on anybody's harmony. Hence Maud S. to
start with. Not one of the near ancestors of her dam was a
near ancestor of her sire. Sunol, who succeeded Maud 8 as
technical queen, is Electioneer^ fastest trotter, save one. It's
a far cry in her pedigree to ancestors common to her parents.
Her Gen. Benton dam was a positive outcross to Electioneer.
Arion 2:07$, whose 2:I0| as a two year old has been the
record for eight years, is another of the products of the out-
cross. Through his sire he is but the second generation
from Hambletonion 10. But through his dam he must go
through Nutwood, Belmont and Abdallah 15 to reach
Rysdyk's horse. And just her a thought that may serve to
light the way for a great many breeders: The phenomenal
success of the daughters of Nutwood as producers of speed
comes almost entirely from the fact that they are mated with
stallions bred almost if not utterly unlike themselves. If
anyone doubts the correctness of that observation let him
name the high class trotters out of Nutwood dams that are
by stallions carrying much Nutwood blood, or the blood that
produced him. Now for enough to Bhow the correctness of
the position I take. The fastest trotters of 1899 were The
Abbot 2:06}, Bingen 2:06}, Peter the Great 2:07}, Cresceus
2:07}, and Tommy Britton 2:08, every one of which is the
product of an outcross.

Nime an inbred trotter, inbred under any definition, that
comes within a great deal of having the class of any one of
the five trotters named. Nutwood's long list of standard
trotters is headed by Lockheart 2.-08J-, whose three heats be-
low 2:10 once gave him a championship. His dam was sired
by Dictator. That's outcross enough to please anyone. Bed
Wilkes with a long roll of illustrious performers has for his
best trotter Ralph Wilkes 2:06f. He came from an outcross
with a mare by Mambrino Patchen. Onward's best is Eeuz-
etta 2:05:]', whose dam was by Harold. Never mind, now,
that Onward's grandsire was the sire of Harold. The Har-
olds are no more like the get of George Wilkes than pears
are like peaches. The blood of both is good enough, but
the family characteristics are utterly unlike. I have already
cited the fastest of the get of Electioneer. Alcantara has
130 in the list. His best trotter is Lightning 2:11. Her
dam is by Startle. Another case of outcross. Alcyone's
long list is led by Martha Wilkes 2:08. There is no Wilkes
blood in her dam. Mambrino King sired no other as good
as Nightingale 2:08, whose dam had no blood, close up, in
common with the dead premier of Village Farm. Chimes
gave the turf Fantasy, out of an Almonarch mare, and The
Abbot, out of a mare by Mimbrino King. But why extend
the list ? Go through the records, note the great trotters
and see for yourself how many of them resulted from out-
crossing. I have no prejudice, on the score of transmitting
or aggravating faults, against inbreeding. Some day that
method may give us the greatest trotter the world has ever
seen. But it has not done it yet. And, so far as it has been
followed, it has entirely failed to produce the results that
have followed outcrossing!

The list of 2:10 trotters is all the argument that is needed
to support my contention. It is backed up by the winning
race horses, of the fast division, of each succeeding year.
Alix, Azote, Directum, Ralph Wilkes, Bingen, The Abbot,
Fantasy, Arion, Beuzetta, Caid, K entucky Union, William
Penn, Eagle Flanagan, Klamath, Peter the Great, Cresceus,
Grace Hastings, Grattan Boy, John Nolan, Martha WilkeB
and Hamlin's Nightingale come from outcrosses. Many
more great ones might be added to that long list. Even
Nancy Haoks, whose sire and maternal grandsire were sons
of Hambletonian 10, belongs there, save on a technicality,
for the Happy Mediums were only like the Dictators in that
all were horses. To Happy Medium a Dictator mare was as
much of an outcross as if she had been by thoroughbred
Hanover, so far as family characteristics went.

In this brief "harangue" I have relied on the records
only. No twisting and shifting of them is necessary. They
relate a plain, unvarnished tale that can be read and under-
stood by every breeder. When the outcross iB abandoned
the day will be a sorry one for breeders. They have all the
light of the past to guide them. They can take the wonder-
ful achievevements of thoroughbred mares, of mares of
Mambrino Patchen, Pilot Jr., Nutwood, Robert McGregor,
the various Clays, Happy Medium, Dictator, even Hamble-
tonian himself, and learn for themselves how the very best
have been produced. Argument and theory cut no figure as
againBt the facts of history. If the best in the past came
from outcrossing, the best in the future will come that
way, too. — Chicago Horseman.

In Training at Portland.

AT THE SALINAS TRACK.

Some of the Horses Now Being Worked There.

[Salinas Journal.]

Hours can be profitably epent by lovers of horseflesh at
the Salinas track studying the trotters and pacers under the
care of Lessee James Dwain, Clarence Day and Caval
Rodriguez. Speed and quality heighten the appreciation of
the beautiful, intelligent animalB whose daily performance
bring joy and foster hope in the breasts of their trainers.
James Dwain has eleven horses in his string, with Bruno
2:16} and Laura D. 2:25 at the head of the list. Guidon, a
promising pacer, is first in Caval Rodriguez's Btring of three.
Clarence Day's string is also small, consisting of only four
horses. Bay Wilkes 2:16} and Dictatus 2:19} command a
great deal of Mr. Day's attention.

Bruno is the property of C. Z. Hebert, who also owns
Laura D. and a brown two year old hereinafter described.
Bruno iB a beautiful dark bay stallion, sired bv Junio, dam
Dolly by Mozart. He is 10 years old, stands 16 hands high
and weighs 1150 pounds. Bruno has a trotting record of
2:16}, and will go in training later on. A brown two year
old bv McKinney, dam Dolly, is entered in three year old
stakes, and gives promise of being a good performer. Laura
D. 2:25 by Altoona, dam Dolly, is being prepared for the fall
races and road work. She is a pretty brown mare, and an
excellent trotter.

Jesse D. Carr has several horses in Mr. Dwain's care,
among which is. Silvian, a light bay by Electricity, dam
Lucky Girl by Carr's Mambrino. Silvian iB a fine individual,
17 hands high, five years old, shows lots of speed, and is ex
pected to trot through the circuit in the green class this fall.
Baby Wilkes by Pacheco Wilkes, dam Nina B., by Elec"
tioneer, out of Gabilan Maid, is a promising three year old'
entered in the three year old stakes this fall at the State
Fair. Another of Carr's horses at Dwain's stables is a brown
filly by Hambletonian Wilkes, dam Bertha by Mambrino*
Bertha 1b the dam of Sybil S. 2:16|. This filly is a full sister
to Sybil S.j and promises well, although she has been work-
ing only three weeks. Conrad and Emblem, two black
geldings, 17 hands high* and sired by Boodle, are being
worked double. Diablito, a four year old bay filly by Diabloi
Jam Salinas Maid 2:30, is a pretty pacer, showing good speed
from whom considerable is expected by Mr. Dwain and her
owner, Judge William Yanderhurst. Another of Yander-
hurst's horses is Pan Yan, by Dictatus, dam Lilly V. by
Junio. Lilly V. is a full sister to Salinas Maid. Pan Yan
is a light bay gelding, and Mr. Dwain thinks he will make a
reputation for himself and his sire. Another is a bay colt by
Cupid, dam by Junio.

Guidon 0346, Mrs. W. J. Hill's pacer, is an astonishing
performer and the star of Caval Rodriguez's stables. Guidon
has a world of speed, Bhowing a gait better than 2:08. He is
sired by Almont Patchen, with the registered mare Minnie
L. for his dam. Rodriguez owns a half interest in a pretty
bay filly which he has been working the past six weeks.
This little pacer ib sired by Adrian, dam Lalla Rook b, the
dam of Loupe 2:09}. She shows a 2:30 gait, and is coming to
her speed with great rapidity, Mr. Rodriguez has aho a
four year old sorrel filly ry Seven Oaks from a dam by
Nutwood, which he is training for a roadster.

Clarence Day has two excellent performers — Bay Wilkes
and Dictatus — under his care. Bay Wilkes by Mambrino
Wilkes obtained a trotting record of 2:16}, but is converted
to a pacer this season. Mr. Day thinks he ought to be a
good horse in the green class this year. Sinders by Clarence
Wilkes, son of Guy Wilkes, out of Fallis 2:23$, is a prom-
ising three year old fitly. Although lately broken this colt
has been a mile in less than S:00 and a quarter close to : 1.0.
Another filly, the promising Zelinda G., full sister to Sin-
ders. She has already trotted a mile in 2:38$, half in 1:16$,
and a quarter in :36$. This mare will probably be entered
in the green class throughout the northern circuit this fall-
Both fillies are the property of W. J. Gillespie of Redding,
Cal. Last, but not least, comes the Red-Wilkes-Director
bred stallion Dictatus, with a trotting record of 2:19}. He
is the sire of J. B. Iverson's filly Dictatress, who obtained a
record of 2:12} last year at Los Angeles as a four year old.
Mr. Day thinks Dictatus a prospective 2.10 performer, and
s working him now with the view of reducing hie record
after the close of the stud season.

There are fifty or sixty trotters and pacers being worked at
Irvington Park, Portland, Oregon, as (he following list,
taken from the North Pacific Farmer & Stockman will show :
John Sawyer has in his stable Erect, blk s, aged, ly
Director 2:17, dam Echora 2:23$; Kinmont, br h, 4, by Mc.

wood, son of Nutwood; T. D. C, br g, 3, by Zombro dam by
Antrinous; Billy Connell, b c, 3, by Scarlet Letter, dam
Flora T.

The health of the horses is very good, and the prospect
for a good racing season has not been as bright for many
years.

Will Race on the Speedway.

Another afternoon of good sport will be furnished all who
yieit the speedway in Golden Gate Park to-day. Members of
the Driving Club met at their room in the Pdlace Hotel
last Tuesday evening and arranged for two races, the entrie 3
to which were as follows :

First Race—Mr. Swett'e 8teve S., Mr. Miller's Lee Rose,
Mr. Leaner's Blanche L., Mr. Thompson's Bobbie J., Mr.
Richardson's Queenie.

Second Rice— Mr. Evt's Peanuts, Mr. Kleiser's Alto Vela ,
Mr. Btewarl's Localeer, Mr. Hottna's Correct, Mr. Dalziel's
Mattie B.

The racing will bagin at 2 o'clock and will be half mile
heats best two in three. The course will be over the last half
of the mile coming toward the city.

The Decoration Day racas are arou3ing great interest
among the members and the prospects are most excellent for
a big list of entries for the difbrent events. Entries will
close ten days prior to the meeting, and horses must la
registered with the Secretary sixteen days prior to the date
of closing.

Since the beginning of the African war Eogland has pur-
chased over 8000 cobs in Argentina.

Six mares booked to Directly 2:03} have an average
record of 2:09$.

•KEEN'S RUFU3 _ Baywood Stud, San Mateo

A $20,000 STALLION RACE has been announced
by Secretary C. M. Jewett for the annual meeting of the
New England Trotting Horee Breeders' Association, to
be held at Eeadville Park near Boston, September 24th
to 28th. The contest is to be at mile heats, three in fire,
and is open to all trotting stallions, without regard to
their records. Horses must be named on May 1st, when
entries cloBe, but the conditions governing the race are
such that the payment of an additional fee on September
10th will entitle any nominator to substitute at that time
another horse for the one named next month. This pro-
vision opens the door to all horses that may develop free-
for-all speed during the campaign of 1900, and particu-
larly insures the bringing together of the best stallions
on the turf at the time the race takes place. California
was the scene of a great stallion race for $20,000 in
October, 1888, and though but three of the nine original
entries went to the post, it drew an immense concourse of
people to the old Bay District track and was the talk of
horsemen for weeks before and after. The contestants were
Stamboul, Woodnut and Antevolo, and they finished in
that order. Woodnut won the first heat in 2:17 Stamboul
taking the next three in 2:17, 2:17* and 2:17. There
was probably never a Btallion race where four heats were
made at such a uniform rate of speed. Before the first
heat the pools sold (that was before the bookmaker bad
ruined real sport) Stamboul $80, Woodnut $38, and
Antevolo $17. Alter Woodnut had won the first heat
the pool box wai beseiged by anxious bettors and there
was sale alter sale at the following prices, Stamboul
$260, Woodnut $250 and Antevolo $45, and after Stam-
boul had won a heat the prices were Stamboul $210,
Woodnut $105, Antevolo $3. Stamboul proved himself
the best horse in the race, and has proved his superiority
since. His record is now 2:07J while Nutwood's is
2:16J and Antevolo's 2:19£. Stamboul has 40 sons and
daughters, all trotters, in the 2:30 list, his fastest per-
former being Stamboulette 2:10J. Woodnut has but 10
in the standard list, his fastest being the pacer Baywood
2:10} Antevolo is credited with 14 standard perform-
ers, Lone of them in the 2:15 list. So after twelve years
the i ecords of racing show that in the great stallion race
ie! in California in 1888, the best horse won, and that
- proven himself the greatest sire.

ANOTHER TURF SCANDAL will soon come to
light. The California Jockey Club has sent out notices
to the effect that Jockey Piggott will not be allowed to
ride at the Oakland track and that reasons for this will
come out later. Rumor has it that this is another case
of a jockey being bribed by bookmakers, and when all

have to do is to fill every one of the stakes offered by

dence in the success of fairs this year that will induce
many associations^that are now wavering to come to the
front with good programs. Every stock farm that has
money invested in trotting bred horses should make en-
tries on the Northern Circuit, and every man who owns
a stallion whose get are of racing age should see that
they are represented in those purses and stakes. The
future of harness racing in California is now in the
hand? of those who breed, own or train harness horses.
How much are you going to help ?

State.

OPPORTUNITY IS OFFERED this year to restore
not only the districts fairs, but the confidence that was
formerly placed in them as a means of advertising the
resources of the districts in which they are held. Boards
of Directors should make a supreme effort to make the
fairs of 1900 worthy the name. The list of premiums
Bhould be so revised and arranged as to bring out the
very best exhibit possible of the products of field and
factory, and the energetic aid of all residents in the dis-
trict should be invoked. A good fair will result in much
good to all who reside in or have interests in the district,
and create a demand for its renewal each year.

Death of H. Dutard.

THE COMING CENSUS will have a new and
distinctive feature in a special schedule by which all
domestic animals not on farms and ranges will be enum-
erated. No census of live stock would be complete that
did not include that in towns and cities, which hereto-
fore has not been done. The present plan will be to
enumerate all horses in livery and boarding stables
private barns in towns and cities, also in lumber, con.
tractors' and mining camps. The result of this census
will no doubt change the present understanding of the
supply of live stock. In 1898, there were enumerated
on farms and ranges 13,960,911 horses, in 1899 13,665,-
307, in 1900 13,537,524, a decrease of 423,387. While
the average price per head has increased from $34.26 in
1898 to $37.40 in 1899 to $44.61 in 1900, an increase of
$10.35 per head. The government is now making a
great effort to better handle the live stock problem.
They advocate the registering or recording of all animals
eligible.

Hypolite Dutard, the veil known merchant, died last
Sunday morning at his home, 2118 Pacific avenue, this city.
He leaves a widow aDd a large fortune, but no children.
Mr. Dutard was one of the yonngest of the California
pioneers. He was born in Chile in 1843 and came to Cali-
fornia with his father in 1849. He succeeded his father in
the hay and grain business. He was a member of the Pro-
duce Exchange and of the Pacific Union, Merchants and
Olympic Clubs. He was interested in the City Improvement
Company and in other profitable enterprises. He owned
Brentwood Stock Farm on the San Joaquin river, one of the
most complete stock feediog farmB in the world. There are
constantly pastured there from 200 to 400 horsee, mostly fine
carriage, trotting or running horses sent there from San
Francisco. Mr. Dutard also owned fruit ranches in Santa
Clara county and a vast estate of grazing land in Santa Bar-
barr, comprising 44 000 acres. For many years Mr. Dutard
had been an enthusiastic road driver, and owned such horses
as Chris Peterson 2:131, Algregor 2:11, Fanadma 2:19? and
others. He was a quiet, unassuming gentleman, and his
death will be eincerely regretted by a very wide circle of
friends.

A Fair at Nspa.

THE FIRST SALE of trotting bred horses ever held
in San Francisco in the evening by electric light will
take place at William G Layn^'s Occidental Horse Ex-
change in this city next Monday evening, at 8 o'clock.
There are some of the finest road horses ever offered at
public auction in San Francisco in this lot and some
fancy livery teams in the bunch. These horses are from
the stock farm of Mr. I. H. Mulholland of Tulare, the
home of Hillsdale 2:15 and Osito 2:14|. At the same
time ten head of draft horses weighing from 1600 to
1S00 pounds will be sold. As this sale takes place in
the evening, it will give all an opportunity to attend and
will be the first of a series of evening sales of harness
horseB to be inaugurated by the enterprising owner of
the Occidental Horse Exchange. The stock is now on
exhibition at the exchange, 721 Howard street, and
those wanting good horses at their own price should call
and look them over.

The terms of four members of the Board of Directors of
tbe Napa .Agricultural Society having expired there is not a
quorum to do business. The Governor will appoint the four
new members soon, however, and there is plenty of available
material to select from. The Napa Register of last Wednes.
day contained the following:

The names of W. H. Graham, G. W.fitrohl, E. H. Win-
ship, E. 8. Bell, Charles Scott, Geo. W. Berry, John Even,
W. G. Raney, Arthur Brown, Dr. Osborne and C. L. LaRue
were among those gentlemen mentioned Tuesday afternoon
as eligible directors for the Agricultural Association. The
fair will undoubtedly be held this year, although nothing
further can be done until the new Board is appointed and
qualifies.

Philadelphia drivers believe that their city is the home
of the best roadsters in America. They are proud of the
long string of good roadsters owned by the members of the
Belmont Park Club, and have been for some time agitating
the arrangement of a series of intercity races between the
leading amateur drivers of Philadelphia, Baltimore and New
York.

Matinee Racirjg at Riverside.

Mr. Gwathmey Likes California.

The Hackney Horse.

The racing held at Riverside last Monday in which mem-
bers of the Riverside and Los Angeles Clubs drove their
horses were highly successful and very interesting.

When the first race was called the pretty grounds of the
Riverside Driving Club presented an animated scene. So-
ciety was .out en masse, completely filling the grand stand,
while all around the quarter stretch were equipages of all
descriptions. Everywhere the blue and gold, the colors of
the Lob Angeles Club, blended with the Riverside colors of
white and yellow. The day was warm, a condition which
caused many to seek the shade of the surrounding hills.
Nearly 4,000 people were present at the meet. Eleven races
were decided in all. The racing began promptly at 1:30 p. m.,
and lasted until after 6 o'clock. There was racing galore-
but as the drivers and horBes were well known the audience
remained interested throughout. In all the events there
were several entrieB which were scratched, but there were
always enough contestants to make a good competitive race.
The track is a half mile one and was in good shape.

The results of the races follow, only the first and second
horses being given, however.

ing Association — O. E. Bartee's Lialock won, F. Walters'

Notes From Petaluma.

Petaluma, April 18, 1900.

Dr. Latham, the well known horseman, was here Sunday
as the guest of Payne Shafter, of Point Reyes. Mr. Shafter
recently presented Dr. Latham with the famous old mare
Pastime. The mare is now eighteen years old and for some
time was running at large on the Shafter ranch. Shafter
contemplated killing the mare. She was mangy, thin and
her hide was full of burrs when Latham pursuaded Shafter
to give him the mare. He has brought her out in splendid
shape and will breed her to Secretary. Pastime has a record
as a speed producer. She is the dam of Secret with a two
year old record of 2:27. Another of her colts is Rustic King,
and Spotless and Jas. O'Neill's Vasto pacers are her colts.

Dr. Latham wants to purchase another splendid broodmare
known as the Pacheco mare. The latter is the dam of Ana-
belle, by Dawn, and granddam of La Belle, now owned by
Mrs. Severance of Los Angeles.

Last week Wm. Russ sold his Oaknut road mare to Mr.
Irving Smith of San Francisco for $250. The mare can do
a half at a 2:22 gait. Smith will nse her for driving purposes.

Top Price for a Carriage Horse.

The Turk, 'a bay gelding with high action, lots of style and
with speed enough to have shown a mile in 2:17}, was Bold at
auction in New York last Wednesday evening for $7800,
more money than was ever before paid for a carriage horse
in America. The dispatches give no account of the horse's
breeding, but it is safe to Bay he is trotting bred or he would
not show the speed he is credited with. At the same sale
Thomas Lawson, of Boston, paid $5000 for My Lady and His
Grace, a chestnut mare and gelding, and $4800 for Ideal and
Perfect, a standard bred pair of bay geldingB. There were
forty animals in the sale and they brought $44,000 an aver-
age of over $1000 per head. This Bale shows the condition
of the New York market for high class harness horses.

The Amateur Rule at Cleveland.

The Gentlemen's Driving Club of Cleveland, Ohio, the
leading organization of road drivers in America, has wrestled
with the question as to what constitutes a professional driver,
and adopted the following rule bearing upon the subject:

"Any person who has ever driven or ridden any trotter or
pacer not actually owned by himself in any public event or
race other than such as are specially arranged for amateurs,
Or any person having trained, driven or ridden any trotter
or pacer for hire or who has received any compensation for
such service other than the puree, stake or wager, shall be a
professional."

without the least effort, and to me Keating seemed to be
pulling his jaw off to keep him from going faster. He has
another, a three year old colt, which will be heard from if he
keeps well and he is a hardy individual, which was driven a

will be shipped East some time in June.

very flattering offers from New York horsemen for Toggles,
but I do not think he will ever part with him. I had a
little hankering in that direction myself, but found it would
be useless to try to buy the horse. He is pretty near per-
fection and I tell you it filled me with joy to hold the reins
over him for a spin on the road. He won three races last
year in straight heats, and Mr. Babcock thinks he will be
able to go much faster than his record this year. California
is a great horse country. They grow strong and hardy and
mature early."

Racing at Vancouver.

On the Queen's birthday, which is May 24th, the Van-
couver Jockey Club will hold its spring race meeting. There
have been purses hung up for harness horses and runners
which range from $100 to $300. Vancouver is easily
reached by direct steamers from San Francisco and Puget
Sound ports, and especially favorable termB are made to
horsemen. Vancouver has also direct communication by
railway with Seattle and other points. Should the weather
be favorable and the number of horses justify, a second day
of racing will be given on Saturday, May 26th. California
horse owners can do well in the northern country if they
take horses up there that can win, as there is plenty of
money in that country and the public are not afraid to bet
it. The rules under which the running races will be held
are those of the California Jockey Club, that all who race
here will be familiar with them. Entries close May 21st.

The management of the running meeting of the Empire
City track next October having been placed in tbe hands of
Mr. Philip J. Dwyer, Register Isaac Fromme, attorney for
the W. H. Clark estate, has arranged with Mr. Andrew
Miller, former president of the Driving Club of New York,
to supervise tbe grand circuit trotting meeting in September.
A new club, comprising some of the most prominent metro-
politan devotees of trotting, is to be formed with a view to
placing under their control all the harness racing events of
the meeting. The business management will be in the hands
of the Clark estate, and the money to pay all purses will be in
the bank before the program is announced, so that horse owners
may be fully assured of prompt settlement if their flyers win.
It is understood that Messrs. Nathan Straus, John H. Shults,

Bonner, W. R. Janvier, Frederick Dielz, J. W. Daly, Jame8

speed inheritance. She has been christened Diablo's Easier
Belle.

O. A. Hickok will leave for the East to-morrow. He in-
forms as that he will not have any of Mr. W. L. D. Stoke's
horses this year at> has been published, but will have a small
string from Peter Durvear's Patchen Wilkes Farm, Lexing-
ton, Kentucky. The fast filly Sarah Maddern will be among
them.

M. J. Tcrner came down from Pleasaoton the other day
with a grandson of .Nutwood that he has been training there
for a road h->rse. This gelding is one of the handsomest
horses seen on San Francisco roads for some lime and is fast.
He is being stabled for the present at 605 Golden Gate
avenue. He is for sale.

A. W. Bruner has moved to Pleasanton with his small
6tring of horses consisting, however, of two good ones. He
has the mare Lou 2:14} by Ira, that is considered fast enough
to lower her record this year. His chestnut pacer by Nut-
wood Wilkes is one of the best lookers ever seen at Pleas-
anton and is a large horse and very fast.

Uncle Sam pays a liberal price for his army equipments,
but insists on having only the very best horses of their class.
The cavalry horse mast be sound, 15.1 to 15.3 hand?, of
good substance, breedy conformation, and fioe action, from
five to seven years old, weighing 950 to 1100 pounds. There
is one firm at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago, now filling a
government contract for cavalry horses, that pays from $85
to $125 per head for horses that fill the order.

It is not probable thst th«re will be a 2:10 trotter come
out in any of the green classes in California this year. Such
a thing may happen but no horse has as yet shown up at any
of the training quarters that a 2:15 trotter need be afraid to
tackle. In the 2:10 and 2:12 classes, however, there oa^ht to
be several redactions of records and 2:10 beaten more than
once.

John R. Gentry is reported as never looking finer and
stronger than now. He is 11 years old and grew better
under the handling of Andrews as the season of 1899 ad-
vanced. As Gentry in his last race in California paced a
quarter of the last half in 28} seconds.it cives rise to the
belief that Andrews may land him the approaching season
across the two-miaate line.

Allie Cresco 2:131, the fast pacing mare by Cresco, has
been sent by her owner I. L. Borden, of this city, to the
Nutwood Stock Farm to be bred to Nutwood Wilkes. She
has a fine black filly at foot by Altamont.

liEBBERT Gray, who has charge of the string of crack

tr. iters and pacers owned by millionaire Lawson of Boston,

cepl busy denying the report that an epidemic has broken

. among the horses in bis charge. One horse died recently,

the others are in excellent condition. Germea 2:21$ by

U d Russell is the latest addition to the Lawson string.

The McMarray sulky is one of the best made and is
popular wherever used. W. J. Kenney, the well knjwn
bikeman at 531 Valencia street, S*n Francisco, has been ap-
pointed Pacific Coast agent for the McMurray Co., and will
carry samples of the vehicles made by that company in stock.
Horsemen should call and see these vehicles as they are first
class in every respect and the prices are right.

The horses that Badd Doble took to Los Angeles with
him were Sybil S. 2:16 J by Hambletoniao Wilkes, a seven
year old brown gelding by Stcretarv out of Nellie R., a Bix
year old mare by Ira, dam by Poscora Hayward, and a four
year old by Aptos Wilkes, dam by Nanbuc. Mr. Doble will
probably take these horses with him when he goes East with
a string of thoroughbreds from the Baldwin ranch.

W. H. Coleman, of Los Angeles, is the nwner of a bay
colt by Monterey 2:09$ that he has named Del Monte. The
dam of the youngster is Bonnie Red by Red Wilkes, second
dam Bonnie Belle (dam of 3 standard performers) by Al-
mont 33, third dam Alice Drake (dam of 3) by Norman
25) fourth dam Viley by Pilot Jr. 12. This is pretty rich
breeding and such a colt, when he grows up, should be worth
breeding to.

Mrs. Rosk E. Dixon, who is well known to all of the
horsey visitors to Lakewocd, N. J., is one of the few women
horse dealers in the world. She makes a regular business
of buying and selling saddle horses and hunters, and has a
large number of well known New York customers, who de-
pend largely upon her judgment. Mrs. Dixon is now in
Europe with a lot of choice saddle horses, gathered and
trained in this country by her.

An auction sale of standard bred trotters and pacers will
be held in Los Angeles next Tuesdav, April 24th, at 2 p. m.
These horses are the property of Mr. A. F. Slice who is
going East with a string of trotters and desires to sell these
before leaving. There are some royally bred animals among
them, as will be seen bv reference to the advertisement of the
sale which appears elsewhere in this issue. Some of the
mares are jast of the breeding needed in California and
should be secured for the stock farms here. A seven year
old mare with a record of 2:24 j by Baron Wilkes, one six
veara old with a record by Allerton, a two year old fillv by
St. Vincent 2:13 and mares br Charleston 2:12$ are among
those offered. This blood will be an outcrops for most of the
stallions in California. Some of these mates are verr fast
and in training at the present time, and this is an excellent
opportunity to secure some good individuals and well bred
ones at that at your own price. The sale will be at the Los
Angeles track next Tuesday. £

James B. Haggin has added a "trotting department" to
Elmendorf, which has for a quarter of a century stood in the
first rank of the thoroughbred breeding establishments of
America. He has there a quartet of high bred stallions, and
at the head of the stud he has put that grand race horse Dan
Cupid 2:09$. The other three are Worthier by Advertiser,
out of Waxana (dam of Sunol 2:08$), Adbine by Advertiser,
out of Columbine (dam of Anteeo 2:16$ and other; and Phi-
lario by Wilton, oat of Niketa by Nutwood. These horses
will be bred to a number of high class mares which Mr.
Haggin has lately purchased.

Trotting men have for some time heard rumors to the
effect that John H. Shalts would have Sunol 2:08$ trained
again this season for racing. Mr. Shults denies emphatically
that his great mare will be raced again. "She will instead,"
he stated, "be mated with Axworthy 2:15£, and has definitely
been retired to the ranks of the broodmares." Maud S., who
died recently, was to have been bred to Axworthy. Ruben-
Bteiu 2:05 has been in the stud for some time, but he has been
withdrawn from stud duty io order to be prepared for cam-
paigning. He will be campaigned largely on the New Eng-
land tracks this season, and his owner expects great things
of him.

"If there is anything at a trotting meeting which destroys
the comfort of horsemen it is a defective program," observes
Spirit of the Times. "An attractive program at the races is
jast as essential as at a first class theater. How frequently
it is sadly neglected or boogied up by some amateur. It is a
pleasure to horsemen to purchase a neatly printed program
containing a correct list of the starters, complete breeding of
the horses entered in each race, names of drivers, their colors
and numbers. Ten cents is not too much for a program of
this class. An association had better give the privilege to£a
good man, and please the public, rather than get a high price
for poor goods."

Distemper and pink eye are contagious and infections
specific diseases of the horse, seen most frequently in youog
animals, but may occur at any age, and spread rapidly from
one horse to another, until all the animals in a stable may be
affected, the atmosphere beisg the most common carrier of
the infection and through it may be communicated to horses
at considerable distance. At this season of the year pink
eye and distemper prevail to an alarming extent in some sec*
lions of the country. The remedy lies first in prevention
by occasional fumigation and whitewashing and then by the
judicious use of proper remedies with which every stable
should be supplied.

''What caused Altamonl's bliodnesB?" is often asked
when the statement is made that this "25*year-old colt" is
without sight. Mr. Jay Beach furnished us the information
as to the cause the other day. It was a good many years ago
when it happened. Mr. Beach was leading him by a halter
and there was a buckle on the end of a strap. He made a
little slap at the stallion to keep him back and the tongue of
the buckle struck the horse in the eye, cutting the pupil.
The eye became inflamed and the other through "sympathy,"
as the doctors call it, was also effected. The old horse can
still distinguish daylight from darkness and will shy away
from a white post or anything that is painted white.

There was an enthusiastic meeting last Saturday morning
of the directors of Agricultural Association of District No.
42 at Willows. There were present: Directors Burton,
Glenn, Marshall, Thrower, Hockheimer and Winter. B. H.
Burton was elected President of the Association; M. Hock-
heimer, Vice-President; W. V Freeman, Secretary; Bank
of Willows, Treasurer. Director Winter, with Messrs.
Henning, Weis and Hamner were appointed a committee to
canvass the town for subscriptions. The secretary was in-
s'ruc'ed to confer with the Willows Agricultural Association
on track matters and repairs to buildings and track. Secretary
Freeman appointed Ira Hockheimer as his assistant and a
better appointment could not have been made for the ardu-
ous duties of an association's secretary. — Willows Journal.

Wm. Hogoboom has nine or ten horse3 in his string at
Marysville and will get them ready for the circuit. He has
Eala Mc 2:27; in fine shape, as is also Lena A. 2:21]., the
winner of the Occident Stake last year. Most California
horsemen think Eola Mc the best prospect for the Occident
Stake of lyOu, and she has so far certainly shown the class
of all those enteied for the rich event, it wonld be a rare
good streak of luck for one trainer to land the winner of this
stake two years in succession, and at the present writing it
looks as though Mr. Hogoboom would dj that very thing.
Mr. Kingsburv, manager of the Lick House, and the owner
of Lynall 2:23, has sent that horse np to Mr. Hogoboom to
be trained for the circaii. He has been driving Lynall on
the road in this citv and believes he will reduce bis mark
below 2:20 if no accident happens him. There are several
good colts in Mr. Hognboom's string, some of them well en-
tered in rich stakes, and all showing speed of a high rate.
He was one of the most successful trainers on the California
circuit last year and is in line to duplicate his successes
of 1899.

That the carriage and horse trade is booming is conceded
by all dealers and horsemen, says a New Yok paper. The
prices paid are far above the average of any received for
many years, and it is believed prices will go much higher.
W. D. Grand, who is authority on the market, when asked
the reason why the demand is so great, and competition keen
for anything that is high clf>ss io the coach or carriage horse
very promptly answered : 'Simply because the people now-
adays are educated up to a very high standard of excellence
as far as the horse is concerned; and farther because the
supply of really good horses in the country is almost ex-
hausted. In fact, my regular patrons— ihose who sell — are
kept busy for months and months scouring the entire country
for something good enough for this market, and when they
find it tbey are compelled to pay fancy prices, inasmuch as
there is as strong competition among those who buy to sell
again as there is among those who buy simply for the pleas-
ure there is io the animal." Asked what are the necessary
requisitions in a coach or carriage horse to insure a good
price io the sale ring, Mr. Grand replied that it was a hard
question to answer from the fact that there are so many
tbiLgs necessary, but in his opinion a horse should be in the
most perfect condition; secondly he should be of the proper
age, from five to eight years preferred; third, it should be
thoroughly broken and manneredjfor the purposes for which
it is intended; and besides all this, it should possess the qual-
ity and finish which is pleasing to the eye, of not only the
critical judge, but to those not so well posted.

The Saddle.

Buchanan rode (oar winners at Tanforan on Wednesday
last.

Clarence Watebhcuse left last Wednesday for Mexico
and expects to be absent a month or more.

The season of winter racing closed at Tanforan Park yes-
terday. Oakland opens to-day for its last meeting of the
season.

Lieutenant Gibson is now the favorite for the American
Derby to be run on the opening day at Washington Park,
Chicago.

Naglee Burke disposed of Itrata to Mrs. Mary O'Ronrke.
He also sold Impromptu to F. W. Miner, who has engaged
D. J. Lynch to train him.

Flamora, Ed Parser's fast filly by Flambeau, was badly
irjured in the mile race at Tanforan on Wednesday and will
probably never be able to race again. A bone in one of her
ankles was broken.

It looks as if Burns and Waterhoasehad a very handy in-
dividual in Rollick, the winner of the first race. This two
year old had all the way from four to thirteen pounds to
everything else in the race and won aa it pleased. Rollick is
by Take Notice out of Happy Maiden.

The ugliest and funniest looking horse at Churchill
Downs is Scott McCampbell, owned by AmoB McCampbell of
Louisville. The colt has a heavy body, with little short legs
looking more tike a p:g than a horse. McCampbell declares,
however, that the colt will prove a bread winner. He is
said to have paid a stiff price for the "curiosity," and no one
seems to know what the colt can do.

Tanforan Park Summaries.

Installatrix, full sister to Installalor, has a filly foal at
the Elmwood Stock Farm by 8atBuma, winner of the Burns
Handicap in 189B and runner-up in 1899.

Catherine M., a two year old filly, worked a half mile
in 51 seconds at Bennings the other day with 130 pounds up,
and $2500 was offered for her but was refused.

The stake book for the summer meeting of the St. Louis
Fair Association has been issued, and it contains a lot of
valuable events to be ran for. The entries are numerous
and good class, giving promise of a successful meeting. The
meeting will begin May 12th and close August 25th.

Jockey Spencer, who will ride for the Keene stable,
thinks Chacornac "will have a whole lot to do with deter-
mining the value of three year olds ibis year. Any colt that
can eive him a race at even weights can be set down as a top
notcher" said Spencer to a New York reporter the other day.

Negotiations for reopening the old Kentucky Associa-
tion track at Lexington have taken definite shape and there
is a probability that 'here will be racing there during the
present season. A committee left Lexington on April 8th
for St. Louis to try to make a deal with the owners of the
track.

John Condon, who is largely interested in the race tracks
in and around Chicago, has returned from Europe, where he
has made an extended tour to consult with all of the eye
specialists in the hope of having his sight restored. After
all his efforts he returns with no hope of the restoration of
his eyesight.

William Pinkerton, the detective, ia still a horse owner.
At one time he was very much in the business an J with Sam
Hildredth owned quite a stable. Of that lot only Judge
Denny remains. The little four-miJer is now at Hawthorne
and looks and acts as welt as he ever did in his life, and
Pinkerton will race him this summer.

The colt Florizar, by imp. Florist — Charina II, won the
Tennessee Derby, at a mile and an eighth, in a gallop from
John F. Schorr'B F. W. Erode, which beat H. Tomlinson &
Co.'s The Conqueror for the place by a length. The race,
which was worth $7000 to the winner, waa run in 2:00 fiat,
good time as the track was heavy. More than 10,000 people
saw the race.

William McDaniel is assisting Green B. Morris at
Qravesend in the preparation of the latter's extensive string
i of horBes. It is more than likely that the stable will be
I divided, and that McDaniel will have charge of the bunch
| outlined for the Western campaign. McDaniel is a clever
I trainer, and for several years has been one of the most suc-
1 cessfnl in the West.

Handball has developed into a grand looking horee since
his arrival at McGrathiana, and it is doubtful if there is a
better individual doing stud duty in Kentucky than this
handsome son of Hanover and Keepsake. He is a very
stout horse, rather on the Bonnie Scotland order, go.id
shoulders and verj deep through the heart. One of his
principal characteristics is a very short cannon bone.

W. C. Whitney is in Lexington, and he sayB that he in-
tends to remove his stud to some place in New York State.
He says his horses have done well in Kentucky, but they
are too far away to afford him that pleasure which he might
derive from more frequent visits to the stables. He has imp.
Meddlar, Lissak and some eight odd broodmares, a large
number of weanlings and a number of this season's foals.

While almost every horse at Sheepshead Bay has been
credited in the sensational reports of training gallops with
having made all sorts of faat time, few of them have shown
anything near the speed and fitness of The Kentuckian. He
is in the hands of trainer Hawkins, and is about the most
forward horse at tie track. He worked a mile in 1:47
recently, and that is the fastest clip any of the horses at
Sheepshead Bay have been asked to show thus far this season,

A racing scheme, involving nearly half a million dollar?,
is under way to pool tbe issues of Latonia and Queen City
(Newport) race tracks and bond them for about $300,000.
The chief operators of the affair are citizens of Covington
and Cincinnati, and they have been promised a liberal back-
ing from Eastern capitalists. It is the intention to take the
matter entirely out of tbe bands of tbe men who now con-
trol both tracks and pnt none but business men, who have
the entire confidence of the public, in charge.

The Chicago Jockey Club is planning a revival of tha
Chicago Derby, to be run at the Hawthorne track on the
opening day of the summer meetiog. An official announce-
ment for the big stake has not yet been made, but will prob-
ably appear within a short time. President Richard Fitz-
gerald, of the Chicago Jockey Club, contemplates a complete
revival of the stake. Added money to the amount of $5000
was formerly given, and it is expected tbe value for this
year will come close to $7000. The conditions are such that
the stake would probably draw the entries of many horses
now scheduled in the American Derby.

Messrs. Powers & O'Brien, the promoters of the new
race track at Worth, seventeen miles out of Chicago, are
pushing the work right along and by the middle of the
summer they will have a very pretty little course. There
will be no trouble over the dates in Chicago this season.
It was feared that when the new track was ready, Worth
would demand dates, and, failing to get them, would race in
opposition. Instead of that, Powers & O'Brien announce
that they will not attempt to run during the eummer, but
after the others have finished in the autumn they will ask for
dates for a short meeting and will come in for the regular
division next spring.

A (jolt recently arrived at the breeding farm of Burns &
Waterhouse that is most appropriately named. He is by
Mount McGregor dam Shasta Water,and he has been named
Mount Shasta. Tbe following is a list of the weanlings
owned by Burns & Waterhouse: Altamax-Duckliog, colt;
Altamax-Crosette, filly; Altamax-Picnic, coll; Altamax-
Poloma, coll; Altamax-Talluda, colt; Altamax-Happy
Maiden, filly; Altamax-Sonomis, colt; Altamax-Juacita,
colt; Altamax-Rustrice, colt; Mount McGregor-Decoy Duck,
coll; Mount McGregor-Shasta Water, col'; Lo^dal-Kruna,
filly; Libertine-Berna, colt. Sweet Rose had twin colts,
both of whom died. Among the new broodmares to be
mated this year are Recreation, Napamax, Humidity, Bit of
Fashion and Rachel C.

Mesmerist, the winner of last year's Matron Stakes and
the best of last season's crop of two year olds on form, is at
Morris Park. Mr. Featheretone belUveB that Mesmerist is
one of the best horses ever foaled, and he places a big value
on him. He has, according to report, been offered $70,000
for the coll by Sir James Miller, but he names $100 000 as
the selling price. It is said that the offer of $70,000 was
made on condition that Mesmerist would not be allowed to
fulfill his American engagements, which are heavy on both
the Eastern and Western- tracks. Many horsemen believe
that $70,000 is a big price for even each a good colt as Mes-
merist showed himself to be last year, even with his valu-
able engagements. They argue that Modrine, who is train-
ing well at Sheepshead Bay, or his stable companion Pupil,
King's Courier, His Royal Highness or Chacornac may be
as good as Mesmerist in their three year old form.

A busy air of preparation is noticeable at the Sheepshead
Bay track. New tiling has been put on the roof of the
grand stand, the boxes and girders have been painted a light
gray and deep red, new rafters have been placed on the floor
of the grand stand annex that overlooks the betting ring,
and the flowers that line the road leading from the main gate
to the clubhouse have already been planted. The new seven
furlong straightaway track has been laid out and covered,
but the outside rail has not yet been put up. This new
track bulges out on the side of the Futurity Course nearest
the grand stand, and at tbe point where it runs into the
stretch there is a swing that may cause some confusion in
crowded fields. It will need a strong fence at the apex of
the intersection between the seven furlong track and the
Futurity Course in order to prevent accidents to horses that
may be crowded into the rail at that point. — N. Y. Times.

"Jimmy" McCormack, the veteran trainer, who has
charge of Louis V. Bell's string of horses, is one of the
busiest trainers at Sheepshead Bay. He has, besides Mis-
chievous and Radford, a number of other seasoned horses,
and all of them are going well. Six two year olds in his
stable that promise to be among the bread winners this season
attract the attention of all visitors. They are Orderer, by
Order — Extract; Garter Buckle, by Golden Garter — Kiss Me
Quick; Lone Fisherman, by Candlemas — Evangeline; Him-
self, by Himyar — Felicite; Mixer, by Meddler — Fair Bar-
barian, and an unnamed colt by Tristan — Lady Galohad.
All of McCormack's charges are in the big stable used last
season by A. H. & D. H. Morris, where there is an enclosed
walk, so they may be exercised even in bad weather. Tbe
horses are being galloped bv "Tod" Walsh, the California
lightweight, who went East for his first season under contract
to Mr. Bell.

Jockey Riqby, who is creating such a furore over the
pond just now, is well known to many of the owners racing
in California now. "It must be pretty easy over there if
Rigby can win so many races," said a prominent owner
yesterday, who had given him a number of mounts. "Rteby
is a brother-in-law of George Webb, who once trained for
Dan Honig and he hails from some little town down in
Missouri, which State has produced as many horsemen es
the next one. Rigby got in trouble on one of the Western
tracks a few years ago and went to riding on the outlaws.
After riding there a time he got reinstated and went back on
the big tracks, but never was a bowling success anywhere.
The only place where he ever did make a reputation was
riding jumpers. This was his long Buit, and he was chiefly
noted for his fearless riding. There waB not a chance he
would not take. He would go through any kind of a hole
and take any kind of a risk. I'll bet he is doing some great
daredevil ridiog over in England to make a rrcord for him-
self. If Rigby can catch on permanently, then there is not
a jockey in America who cannot."

bench shows and doggy affairs are now showing interest and
enthusiasm in matters pertaining to the fancy. The fact
that many people in thiB city and vicinity are beginning to
realize that they are the possessors of first class specimens of
various breeds has awakened individual attention and also a
strong curiosity as to who has the best dog or dogs which will
sorely cause a small BizBd boom that will bear good fruit in
the near future,

The St. Beinard Clnb of California held an important
meeting last Monday evening. A. D. Fately was elected
Vice-President of the clnb, succeeding H. H. White, who
resigned the office. Mr Fately has become a foil fledged
admirer of St. Bernards, having recently purchased Califor-
nia Eboracum from Mr. White, the purchase price being
(300. California Eboracum is a grand young dog having
improved wonderfully within a year, he won first in limit at
the show here last year, he will be benched next month at
the Kennel Club show.

Among the new members elected were A. Muenther of
Lathrop, Dr. Fred Clarke of Stockton and J. S. Dinkelspiel
of this city.

The exhibit of St. Bernards this year, owing to the united
efforts of the club members promises to be one worth going a
long way to inspect and admire.

Among the kennel exhibits of St. Bernards will be Been
the entries of Carlos Driffield Philip C. Meyer and H. H.

DOINGS IN DOQDOM,

H. G. Trumpler, of Sacramento, recently became the
owner of a fine English setter dog, Reno (Nimrod — Beasie
Gladstone).

Merriwa Kennels, of Pleasanton, Bent the sprightlySlittle
Fox Terrier bitch Snap to be bred to J. B. Martin's Aldon

Swageer this week.

The kennel editor of the Brbedbb and Ppoktsman re-
ceived from Geo. H. Neuber ot Jacksonville, Or., recently
a beautiful young English Setter bitch puppy, one of a litter
out of Mr. Neuber's Snow, a famous field dog in his section.
The new comer is handsomely marked and has won favorable
opinions from several local setter experts.

Aldon Artist, the clever Fox Terrier who created Buch a
good impression by his style and wins at the bench Bhow
here, is now a member of the local canine four hundred.
Mr. G. J. M. E. d'Aquin, who is a thorough fancier and
spoitsman of an ardent disposition, recently purchased
Artist from the Rev. J. W. Flinton, of Victoris, B. C. This
dog will enter the lists next month and no doubt ciu a hot
pace in his class. Artist has had an enviable career on the
bench, having won first and special for best American bred
at New York; second in open at Seattle; first at Tacoma; first,
puppy, novice and limit; second open, reserve in winners and
two specials, San Francisco; first limit, open and winners and
cip for best Fox Terrier and cup for beat of any breed at
Yictoiia, all these wins last year. We congratulate Mr.
d'Aquin on this notable addition to his Fox Terrier kennel.

Spaniel Notes.

What is the difference between the true Field Spaniel and
the big Cocker? The question is ofLen asked and on thiB
Coast there are few that can answer it. In the East, the
Field Spaoiel classes are filled with dogs that are compara-
tively of a type, and that type is not of a big Cocker. On
this Coast the writer has seen but one Field Spaniel, though
good spaniel judges that knew field type have passed upon our
overweight Cockers and given them prizes as Field Spaniels.
I have often criticised judges severely for so doing, but it
takes a lot of moral courage to turn out a whole class and
refuse to give them even a ribbon, especially when the man-
agement of the show requests you not to do bo. Neverthe-
less, the writer and many of the readers of this article will
remember when Jas. Mortimer turned out a whole class of
Bull Terriers at the California Kennel Club show in the Wig-
wam and the jolly row that resulted. Yet, that same lesson
did more for the Bull Terrier in California than a thousand
"gift" prizes would do. If the same lesson could be taught
the Spaniel breeders some one might be tempted to bring out
and breed a few Field Spaniels.

The head of a Field Spaniel should be much like that of
the English Setter — with longer ears and less stop. To quote
the Standard, "the skull should be long but without a very
pronounced stop, muzzle long. Ears should be long and
hang low on the skull, lobe shaped, etc." On the contrary,
the Cocker head, to again quote the Standard, "should be of
fair length, muzzle cut off square, the head should be narrow-
est at the eyes and broadest at the ears. The stop is marked.
There should not be the heaviness of the Field Spaniel but
a light, graceful well balanced head." The Cocker ears
should be "lobular, set on low but not extending beyond the
nose."

The Field Spaniel should be heavier in bone in proportion
to its size and with more feather and should weigh from 35
to 40 pounds.

The modern Field Spaniel, or Springer as it was called in
the early days, is not as Bedate as the Clumber but on the
other hand is not as vivacious, nervous and inquisiiive as the
Cocker. They are longer and lower on the leg than the
Cocker, excepting of course "Uncle Dick's crocodiles."

Bench Show Notes.

Entries for the May show close to-morrow at midnight.
The exact number of entries made up to the time of going
to prees this week had not been ascertained, but the indica-
tion! pointed to a most flattering support of the Kennel Club
for its fourth annual show. An encouraging feature is the
large number of recuits to the ranks of dogdom; ladies and
gentlemen who had heretofore been somewhat indifferent to

Fly-Casting at Stow Lake.

Perfect weather conditions last Saturday afternoon made
the outing exceedingly pleasant for the fly-casters who as-
sembled at Stow Lake for practice work. Five of the Dine
anglers who tried long distance work Bent their flies to the
100 foot mark and beyond. Id the accuracy event A. E.
Lovett was first with 94 per cent closely followed by W. D,
Mansfield and H. F. Mailer. In delicacy casting Mr. Mans-
field was first with 84 3 12 per cent, Messrs. Lovett, Golcber
and Young following in the order named. Lure casting also
had its persistent devotees, with "Bat" heading the bait
throwers in thiB event.

The Sunday morning contingent of rod weilders were also
fortunate in working under favorable weather conditions, too
much so io fact for the best showing in long distance work, a
little steady wind is Dot by any means a great disadvantage
when one is trying to send out a silk line over [the hundred
foot point. Mr. Mansfield, while Dot competing in the long
distance work evened up matters by showing the highest
scores in the other events. A reference to the accuracy
scores below would indicate some very effective casting work
by the gentlemen participating on Sunday, The complete
results for the two days' work are shown below.

county last year by the Fish and Game Protective Associa-
tion, the fish being taken from the State hatcheries, was so
successful and the result so highly satisfactory all over the
county that it is now probable that another supply of 100,000
or more will be distributed. This will thoroughly stock the
streams, though of the 120,000 put in last August the major-
ity will Dot live to see the close of the season on December
let, so many are being caught by anglers all over the county.

It has been demonstrated that the "fry" do well in the
local streams. There is plenty of water in the creeks and,
furthermore, the game association has exercised the greatest
vigilance in patroling streams, to protect the trout from un-
lawful fishermen.

- •

Charles Ohm, of Sonoma county, a veteran angler and
deputy fieh commissioner, advances the theory that striped
bass are responsible for a shortage in the available supply
of trout for fisherman in Sonoma and Fetaluma creeks.
These creeks are becoming well stocked with bass, which, it
is well known, is a very predatory and voracious fieh. Mr.
Ohm recently caught a four pound bass at Schellville and
after opening it found no less than five trout in its stomach,
the largest over tea inches in length.
■ ♦

Harvey McMurchy recently returned from a two weeks
stay at Handlers, in Mendocino county, at a point on Big
riper about twenty-eight miles west of Ukiab. Mr. and
Mr,-. McMurchy devoted much of their outing time to
angling in the Big and Little rivets and Dougherty creek,
where they found plenty of fish. Large fish were few and
far between in these streams this eeaaoo; fly-fishing was not
at its best bo early, bait being found the most effectual lure.
♦ .

Striped bass are being caught in San Leandro bay daily.
Rodeo and Port Costa anglers are having desultory luck
with this gamey but elusive salt water fish. Local anglers
place their faith in grand results during next month.
-•>

Salt water anglers report good catches of rock fish along
the Sausalito shores, Angel Island and in the vicinity of
California City.

Tha Ducks Are Coming In.

The south wind has a gentle touch ; the air a tempered chill :
Upon the sloughs and rush-rimmed lakes the ice Is soft and thin :

Low-hanging clouds are scurrying by; some snow bankB linger Btill;
Thus wind and weather loud proclaim— the ducks are coming in I

Across the full moon's silvery face dark objects swiftly pass,
And through the Btlllness of the night there sounds the well-
known din

Of wild goose cries— no music sweeter than those notes. Alas,
That man should have to labor— with the honkers coming in!

The city's walls a prison make, the office Is a cage,

And home and clubs lose all their charms, while work becomes
a Bin;
No brew can cure, no tonic heal, no mixture can assuage

The fever burningin the blood— when ducks are coming Inl

So from the old elk's antlers lift the twelve-bore tenderly;

(There's but one panacea when those fever throbs begin;)
Make haste to gather shells and all, and fly captivity

To where the "blind" is waiting— and the ducks are coming In !
—J. W. Wright in New York Sun.

At the Traps.

The Association grounds at Ingleside will be the scene of
both live bird and blue rock shootiug to-morrow. The San
Francisco Gun Club will hold their second regular monthly
pigeon shoot on the west end of the track whilst the Olympic
Gun Club members will smash targets at the blue rock bulk-
heads.

The Empire Gun Club members and visitors will indulge
in practice shooting at Alameda Point. Tbe sport will be
open to all and possibly made interesting by the introduction
of side pools in tbe various races.

The Lincoln Gun Club regular shoot for this month was
conducted at Ingleside last Sunday instead of on the club
grounds at Alameda Junction aB usual. The convenient and
satisfactory conditions attending the change of location was
commented very favorably upon by the club members and
their friends. The program arranged by Edg Forster was of
more than ordinary merit. In the regular club race A. J.
Webb and C. A. Haight scored the most breaks This was
followed by a twenty bird race in which W. J. Golcher,
Harvey McMurchy, Jules Bruns and George Franzen were
the high scorea.

The "continuous break" medal match was the special in-
novation for the day. Otto Feudner froze out the other ex-
perts on a run of twenty-two breaks. This was the highest
score in the re-entry races for the day. Princiral honors in
the side pools were annexed by W. J. Golcher, who was
high gun in tbe largest pool event of the day, breaking
twenty-three out of twenty-five targets, besides making a
Btring of fifteen straight in another event. Among tbe
straight scores were Forster, Mnrdock and Foncke in the
fourth event and Haight, Schultz and McMurchy in the
fifth race.

The results in the various races for the day follow:

The State Blue Hock Tournament at Fresno

Sportsmen and representative members of the trap shoot-
ing fraternity two weeks hence will assemble from all parts
of the Slate at tbe "Raisin Citv," tbe occasion beiDg the
eighth tournament of the California Inanimate Target Asso-
ciation to be held on the 29th and 30th insts. Tbe various
association committees and the Fresno Oun Club members
have made every endeavor to make this meeting replete with

all requirements necessary for the convenience and comfort
of the shooters and visiting sportsmen. The grounds have
been thoroughly equipped by tbe Fresno Gun Club, the
Selby 8meltiog and Lead Company generously contributing
full sets of traps ae well as making great blue rock con-
cessions.

The arrangement of the program this year shows a libera
purse allowance. The division of the moneys is the same as
prevailed last May at Antioch— the largest amounts of
money will be placed in the classes where there will be the
greatest number of shooters sharing in the division. Class
shooting will prevail in all individual events, a trophy will
be the first class prize in each event. The money division
will go t) the next four classes id the following order: Ten
per cent, to second class, twenty per cent, to third class,
thirty per cent, to fourth class and forty per cent, to fifth class.
Shooters who score sixteen out of twenty in events where
straight scores have been made will share in the fourth class
division. This plan was a satisfactory one at the last tourna-
ment. In side pools the division will be: Three moneys,
50, 30 and 20 per cent; four moneys, 40, 30, 20 and 10 per
cent.

The association acknowledges an obligation to the trade
for the liberal support accorded in the matter of added
money. Donations have been received from the following
firms and corporations: Clabrou^h, Golcher & Co., Henry
E 8kinner Company, Selby Smelting and Lead Company,
Winchester Repeating Arms Company, Union Metallic Car-
tridge Company, Colts Repeating Arms Company, Reming-
ton Arms Company, Phil B. Bekeart representing the E. C.
and Schultz Powder Company telegraphed from New York
a donation of $26. Resident CoaBt representatives of other
powder companies were debarred from making donations by
reason of the fact that an agreement lies between these manu-
facturers to refrain from money or merchandise contributions
for trap shooting meetings. The gentleman referred to have
been of material benefit in other ways, however.

The shooter making the highest average in all the individ-
events of the tournament will be awarded a diamond medal
emblematic of the State individual championship. Clarence
Nauman is now the holder and owner of the championship
medal offered by the association heretofore, having won it for
the third time last year at Antioch. W. H. Seaver won the
Lincoln Club trophy laBt year, defeating Jules Bruns in a
tie shoot-off. Ed Schultz holds the Empire Club trophy.
Clarence A. Haight won the E. T. Allen Cup last May. A.
J. Webb won the "Gold Dust" diamond medal or 1899.
M. O. Feudner was the winner of both these prizes in 1898.
Dr. A. M. Barker won the Garden City Club trophy from A.
J. Webb, who tied him. The Roos trophy is now held by
the Garden City Gun Club, which was won in 1899 by a
team composed of Dr. Barker, Frank Merrill and Geo.
Anderson. Dr. Hyde, of Merced, won the Olympic and San
Francisco Gun Club trophies last year. On a tie shoot-off
for the Gjlcher trophy at Antioch between Joe Robb of
Anliocb, Clarence Nauman and Ed .8chullz, Ross was the
winner. The Antioch Gun Club trophv was won by a six-
man team representing the Garden City Gun Club last year.

The headquarters of the Association during the tourna-
ment will be at the Grand Central Hotel, Fresno. The Sec-
retary's office will be open for general business and the re-
ceiving of entries after 7. 30 P. ai. on Saturday, April 28th.

The annual meeting pf the Board of Governors will be
held at the Grand Central Hotel Headquarters, Sunday,
April 29lh at 8:30 p. m. Officers will be elected for the com-
ing year and a decision reached as to the time and place of
holding the next tournament.

Grand American Handicap Notes.

The eighth annual shoot of the Grand American Handi-
cap was an unqualified success in every particular. A total
of 224 entries for the principal event was made and 211 of
these started, eight of whom finished with straight scores.
The birds were good and strong, some 13,000 pigeons being
trapped in the principal event. The four sets of traps were
worked by an underground system and the retrieving was
done by boys. The weather was favorable throughout the
meeting.

The total purse in the handicap amounted to $5555. Of
ih's $1500 was divided among the first three high guns: $600
to the first, $500 to the second and $400 to the third. This
left $4055 in the purse which would have netted the other
five men who killed Btraight $283 85, $243, $202.75, $162.20
and $121.65 according to the order in which they finished in
the shoot-off. Phil Daly, Jr., was the only shooter to receive
a regular allotment of the money— $400 for third high gun.
At the end of the sixteenth round all those who were then
straight, excepting Daly and one or two others, formed a
pool, under this arrangement those who were in the pool
actually received $158 apiece.

The shoot was under the management of Elmer E.Shaner
whilst Edward Banks supervised the compilation of scores,
both gentlemen won golden opinions from the sportsmen in
attendance.

for he has bought another Zombro three year old out of a
Planter mare from Dr. Jay Tutlle of Astoria.

A fair association has been incorporated in Harney county
lor the purpose of holding annual fairs and race meetings at

another green one is a mare by Noonday out of Stella

ling at about the same speed, for a short distance. Stetson
moved the Altamont mares Lyla and Alateil for a little
speed and they responded in a very satisfactory manner,
which led Mr. Stetson to remark that they would trot well
inside tbe 2:20 list this season. John Pender let his black
stallion Capt. Jones step down the stretch with Lyla and
they came the last part of it better than a 2:30 clip with
honors about even.

$7800 FOR A PARK HORSE,

S. R. Moore Outbids T. W. Lawson for
The Turk.

All records for the sale of high steppers were left in the
shade last night at the American Horse Exchange when M.
H. Tichenor's dock -tailed trotters from Chicago passed noder
the hammer of W. D. Grand, Bays the New York Sun of
April 19th. Lot 3 in the catalogue was a bay gelding called
The Turk, by a son of Alexander's Belmont. He proved to
be a park horse of rare beauty, high quality and brilliant
action, and there was spirited bidding among the horse fan-
ciers when the white-faced, white-footed stepper had been
put through his paces on the miniature track. Thomas W.
Lawson of Boston and C. F. Kimball of Chicago were the
conten'iDg bidders, the latter getting the handsome animal
for $7800 ThiB is probably the highest price ever paid for a
park horse at public or private sale. About three years ago
Eben D. Jordan of Boston paid $4600 for Leader the
Scotchman, and something like seven years ago A. H. Moore
of Philadelphia gave $5000 for Magnum, while Sundown
brought at the E. D. Morgan sale in 1892 only a few hundred
dollars less than the sum paid for The Turk last night. Mr.
Kimball bought the horse for J. H. Moore of Diamond
Match fame. The Turk is credited with a trial in 2:17}.

The first fifteen horses sold last night fetched $20,825, an
average of $1388. Thomas W. Lawson paid $5000 for the
first carriage pair that passed under the hammer. The ani-
mals were My Lady and His Grace, light chestnut in color,
finely matched and full of style, symmetry and grace,
whether at rest or in motion. The Boston horse fancier also
paid $4800 for the showy bay geldings Ideal and Perfect.
James Stillman got a pair of brilliant goers in tbe bay geld-
ings Pilot and Mate, paying $2000 for the pair.

London and Berlin, a lofty fair of high headed, shapely,
speedy bays, sixteen bands high, were struck ofl to H. E,
Bishop for $2000. W. F. Havemever secured one of the
best pairs in tbe collection, paying $1200 for the seal brown
geldings Battle and Battle Cry. For thirtv-nine head sold
last night Tichenor & Co. received $43,910, an average of
$1125 each. The best sales were:

Santa Rosa Wants the Meeting.

Tbe transition of tbe Santa Clara Agricultural Society
from a purely co operative to a regular stock corporation has
been practically effected. Articles of incorporation of the
Santa Clara Land and Exhibit Association, which is the
name by which the society expects hereafter to be known if
present plans do not miscarry, were Bled yesterday with the
County Clerk. The capital Btock of the new concern is fixed
at $100,000, with tbe value of each share fixed at $200, and
tbe names of George Y. Bollinger, James W. Rea, A. C.
Darby, W. A. Parkburst and Paul P. Austin appear to the
document as the first Board of Directors, they having each
subscribed for one share.

Tbe purposes and aims of the new association must be now
r? ii6ed and approved of by the Agricultural Society before
t. e chioge can be said to be actually accomptisbed. A gen-

ul meeting of the Directors and members of tbe old society

ill be called at once for this purpose, and it is believed that
active opposition will be encountered. — San Jose Mercury.

Santa Rosa, April 24, 1900.
Editor Bbeeder and Spobtsman — Santa Rosa is
blossoming like a rose, of which her name is emblematical,
and everybody is erquiring whether the race meet o." last
Bummer is to be duplicated this year. Pierce Bros.' track
has been overlaid and worked in tbe most systematic manner
until now it is as fast as anything in California and many
people think faster. It will be remembered that the light
harnee3 brigade went some very merry miles over this course)
and if the writer is not much mistaken, some of tbe fastest
heat racing ever seen in California took place at the Breed-
ers'meeting last August. Tbe miles of Monterey, Myrtha
Whips, Clay 8., Myrtle and a score of others demonstrated
beyond a doubt that the track here, accompanied by the
farther advantages of good water and good hay, all combined
to render this place tbe favored spot for the fast pacer and
trotter and the Mecca to which all thorough going sports.
men are heading. We want the Breeders' meeting and we
are prepared to demonstrate that we can and will furnish a
track so good and bo fast that anything that pulls a bike
will have a chance to get a part of the money.

Inherited Speed at La Siesta.

Down at La Siesta Ranch at Menlo Park there are a
couple of foals that are worthy of note. One is a filly and
arrived in February. She is a thoroughbred all over, being
by the great sire cf runners Brutus and out of that fast win-
ner of many races Wandering Nun by Argyle. Wander-
ing Nan's dam was Janet N., the dam of Crescendo end
Bellicoso. The filly is a bay. She has been entered in the
Western Produce Stake at Tanforan, the Morris Park
Matron Stakes, the Coney Island Jockey Club's Futurity for
1902, the $15,000 Produce Stake at Brighton Beach and the
Futnrity for 1902 of the California Jockey Club.

The other foal is a handsome bay colt sired by the cham-
pion four year old pacer Searchlight 2:03£, and is out of
Wanda 2:14|, by EroB. The dam of Wanda is Accident by
Elmo, one of the great broodmares, she bsing the dam of
four other standard performers viz: Rinconado 2:17, Regina
2:18}, Rex 2:22}, and Solita 2:27. This colt is entered in
the Kentucky, |the Hartford, the Horse Review, and the Ken-
tacky Stock Farm Futurities and the Terra Haute Matron
Stakes.

Few stock farms can boast of two foals of 1900, one a
thoroughbred, the other trotting bred, that have more speed
inheritance, are better lookers or have as many rich engage-
ments. Mr. Barke is to be congratulated.

John Phippen Writes from Texas.

Dalus, Texas, April 22, 1900.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — As the weather haa
been pretty fair for the past three or four weeks and the
track in good condition the boys have been letting their
horses step along a little but not quite as fast as they are
going in California, nevertheless thought I would give you
an idea of what we are doing in Texas, The Electrites are
all working nicely and I hope to make a good showing with
them this year. My two year old Aylwin showed me a mile
and his first mile at that, in 2:45, last half in 1:1 6^, Ias[
quarter in 35 seconds. I have three others that have shown
quarters from 40 to 38, all good prospects.

Erwin Electrite, four years old, pacer, has stepped a mile
in 2:25, one-half id l:0S, one-quarter in 32* seconds, and done
it as though she was the real thing. Ima Electrite, four
year old, trotter, worked in 2:27$, best quarter 331. Dallas
Texas pacer, four years old, stepped in 2:26, best quarter 33-
Porto Kico, three years old, trotter, worked a mile in 2:31J,
last half in 1:10J. Elrod 2:13$, pacer, stepped a mile in
2:27, and one-eighth in 15 seconds. I also have nine others,
three and four year olds, can step close to 2:30. Mr. King
has Blondie 2:13 by Electrite in fine shape, but has not
worked him faster *tbaa 2:30 yet, quarters in 34 seconds. He
also has a four year old brother to Blondie that is showing
well. Mr. Foote has John Nolan 2:08 almost ready to go up
the line. He is good this year, can step a two minute gait
at any time and is big and strong. He also has a two year
old out of the dam of Bilma 2:10 that stepped a quarter the
other day in 37$ seconods. Mr. Foote tninks he will make
a better one than Kilma; the rest of his horses all working
well.

Mr. L. Nelson, that used to be trainer on Lomo Alto, has
a pacer called Texas Queen: he worked her last Friday in
2:25, last quarter in 32 seconds, and he thinks he will bring
home all of the money. Mr. Granger, of Pentland 2:11 J
fame, has some very good ones and all going well. Mr. E,
Hire has one that he is nursing very carefully and thinks a
great deal of; Bhows well.

Mr. Mills has a pacer that he thinks is ready money. He
has not asked him to step very fast yet, but works him reg.
nlarly aod is very sweet on him.

John Feehan came over herewith a very slick going pacer
from Fort Worth that can step a mile in 2.15 now. We also
have mati-iee races here every week; it is great sport. I saw
two pacers that have worked here on the road all winter go
a half mile in 1:Q5\, Rolla Wilkes 2:17 and Patsy Dougla
2:15}, bead and head. I got two Electrites in the list on the
14th iost. I gave Major Stewart (3) a race the week before
and he trotted in 2:31}, 2:29$ and on the 14th in 2.26} and
2:28. Races, best two in three. Olga Electrite, pacer, won
in 2:24$ and 2:24$. Yours truly,

Jno 8. Phippen.

Woodland's Bigr Fair.

Horses at Woodland Traok.

The directors of the Yolo county district agricultural as-
sociation held a meeting Saturday, April 21st, the principal
purpose of which was the adoption of the premiums for the
coming fair, says the Woodland Mail. About the only other
business transacted was the awarding of the contract for the
week's music. The contract was awarded to James R. Doo-
little of San Francisco, who, in his bid, agreed to furnish
seventeen musicians, seven of whom will be Woodland men.
He will also furnish special features each evening during the
concert at the pavilion.

The committee appointed for that purpose, submitted a
list of premiums to be offered for the coming district fair
which was adopted by the board. The list is a voluminous
article, consisting of many pages of closely written items,
covering almost every imaginable product and enterprise.
The premiums ofiered aggregate the sum of $2712.50, aod all
breeds of horses, cattle, sheep, swine and poultry are pro-
vided for, besides mechanical and agricultural products, etc-
The Pavilion exhibit promises to be something extra fine
this year.

Napa Agricultural Society.

Horsemen are again to have an opportunity of trotting
and pacing over the splendid Napa track. -.The directors of
the Napa Agricultural 8ociety, Messrs. G. W. Strohl, Chas,
Welti, D. S. Kyser, W. F. Fisher, Geo. W. Berry, Arthur
Brown and J. 8. Taylor met and organized last Saturday aod
elected G- W. Strohl President, E. 8. Bell Secretary and
Chas. Welti Treasurer. A committee waB appointed to can-
vass the town for subscriptions and it was decided to hold a
fair this year on a date to be fixed next week. If the week
of July 9th to 14th is not taken, it is probable the fair will
be held after the 8tate Fair. The earlier date is preferable
to horsemen, as it will conflict with no other meeting. The
Napa track is a favorite with horsemen and when in condi-
tion is as fast as any track in California. The new board of
directors is composed of energetic citizens who have deter-
mined to spare no efforts to make the fair a success this year
and there is no doubt but they will succeed.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — While visiting in
Woodland your correspondent went out to the track and was
pleased to see that it and the horses being worked there are
in excellent shape-
Mr. Hooper, of Yountville, has recently located at Wood-
land and has a string of five, all green ones. Georgia H. and
Switzer are both capable of reeling cfl fast quarters at any
time. The latter is a beautiful mahogany bay pacer. The
three others show speed.

Mr. L. U. Matavia's pacer Dynamite is a fine looker and
no doubt will get a low mark this year.

Walter Masten has twelve in his string, all looking good.
Mayme H., a two year old by Falrose out of a Brigadier
mare, is a warm one and has Bhown a 2:30 clip already.

Jim Cummio£B has six fine lookers in his care and h&s just
added a new one in Carrie B by Button out of a full sister to
Klatawah. Cummiogs has a three year old Waldstein colt,
dam Belle Button 2:18*, that he calls The Boer. Jim says
he is all right and from the way the colt steps I think he is.

Det Bigelow is looking after six trotters and pacers and
his blue jacket ought to be seen in front this year. Valeria,
the Button mare that won $675 on the circuit last year with-
out getting a mark, looks and acts so good that Det smiles
with confidence now when the campaign is mentioned. He
has a new one called Mary P. that is promising.

"Old Tom " Donahue is running the Cabin restaurant at
the track.

There was a floral fete held at the track last Tuesday and
many beautifully decorated rigs were in line. The horsemen
lent their aid to the display and a large number of trotters
aod pacers wearing floral collars led the procession. Falrose
2:19 drew the admiration of the crowd. Dan C.

Census of Blooded Animals.

While the preliminary skirmish is being made for the
summer campaigning, a movement of great and lasting in-
terest to turfmen is being formulated at the Census Office in
Washington, and one which deserves the support and co-
operation of every owner and breeder of pure blooded stock.
This movement has, as its ultimate aim, the successful
enumeration of all pure blooded animals in the United
States, a task never before attempted, and the successful com-
pletion of which depends almost entirely upon the enthuias-
tic co-operation of the horsemen themselves.

Soon after these lines are read, owners and breeders will
probably receive from the Census Office, blanks to be filled
out and returned. The Census officials call attention to the
fact that the information so given is, in accordance with the
law to he kept secret from assessors and tax-makers, so no
horseman need fear to give proper numbers and values.

In addition to the enumeration of blooded horses, the
Agricultural Division of the Census Office is also aiming to
secure data regarding blooded cattle, sheep and swine, bo the
task is a very great one.

One thing about this census worthy of sincere commenda-
tion, is that the officials are willing to seek the aid of those
interested in the subject under investigation. To this end

Thrush and its Treatment.

the horn having become softened and removed from the
hottom of the cleft. The discharge itself is composed of
matter from the inflamed membrane, mixed up with the
pulpy horn. Sometimes a large portion of the frog is in-
volved, but usually the disease is limited to the bottom of
the cleft.

All the feet are liable to be affected, and when horses stand
on foul litter the hind feet are nearly always involved. The
large amount of ammonia in horses' urine when it is under"
going decomposition acts very perniciously on the frogs, as
Btrong alkalies readily reduce soft horn to a pulp. Hence
thrush is common in filthy stables, and may affect front as
well as hind feet. The horn of the frog is all the more
readily acted upon by the ammonia of the urine if the ehoer's
knife has removed the harder surface of the frog, and so ex.
posed the softer and less resisting young horn beneath to the
erosive action of the alkali. It is in these cases that we find
the frogs of the fore feet usually involved.

When the frogs of the fore feet are not allowed to perform
their proper function and come into contact with the ground
they become smaller and lose their texture, and then thrush
often appears in them. Thrush may also be an indication of
disease in the interior of the foot. All feet are liable to
thrush, but those of common bred horses show it most fre-
quently. In heavy, coarse bred horses it is perhaps most
frequently seen, and when allowed to continue for some time
without anything being done to cure it, it not infrequently
passes on to a very serious condition known as "canker,"
which is extremely difficult to get rid of. Simple thrush,
however, is readily amenable to treatment.

We have seen what the causes of the disease usually are
and therefore to prevent it, and also to assist in its cure, these
canses should be removed or avoided. Cleanliness is of the
first imrortance, and if possible the frog Bhould be allowed
for the greater portion of its extent to meet the ground and
assist in supporting the hoise's weight, so far as the fore feet
are concerned. Lameness is very seldom present unless the
disease is very advanced, or the effected frog comes into con-
tact with a stone. In such cases it may be advisable to ap-
ply a poultice to the hoof to allay the infiamation, and assist
In cleaning the frog. But in the majority of canes this is
not necessary. The cleft of the frog merelv requires to be
well cleaned out by pledgets of soft tow passed to the bottom
until all the discharge is removed, and then another pledget,
smeared with Stockholm tar is passed in and left there, wbere
it will firmly remain if properly placed. Calomel intro-
duced to the bottom of the cleft before the tar is applied has
an excellent curative action.

If the frog is very ragged, all the loose portions Bhould be
removed, and if it is tender it may be advisable to apply a
leather sole beneath the shoe, so as to cover the surface, fill-
ing up the space between this sole and the sole of the hoof
with packing of tar and tow. When this is worn for some
time, the frog will be found quite free from discharge and
grow sound.

There is reason to believe that thrush is much less common
than it was half a century ago, when erroneous notions with
regard to the functions of the horse's foot, and especially the
wild expansion theory, caused it to be terribly mutilated aod
mismanaged. It should certainly not be seen in a stable
where there is any pretense to good management, and it is so
readily cured if it should chance to appear that there is no
excuse for its presence.

It mav be mentioned that horses standing or running for
some time on moist land have often their frogs unsound,
and, if not attended to when taken up, this unsoundnees will
run on to thrush. A dressing or two with the Stockholm
tar will generally bring about a healthy condition in a few
weeks.

From its usually trifling nature thrush can scarcely be
said to constitute unsoundness unless it be an accompaniment
of other disease, such as navicular disease, of which it is so
often a symptom.

Kendall's Spavin Cure.

The entries for 1900 are 33; for 1901, 62 entries; for 1902,
141 entries, and for 1903, 212 entries. There are many
American bred horses in the lists.

Thrush is another of the extraordinary names applied to
a diseased condition of the horse's foot which has been trans.
mitted to us by the ancient farriers, and which have become
so popular that, notwithstanding their groteequeness and un
meaningnees, it would now be indeed difficult to replace
them by others more suitable and indicative of the maladies
they are intended to designate, writes George Fleming,
C. L. B. L. D., in the London Live 8tock Journal, Thrush
is a rather common disease of that part of the hoof which
has also received the ludicrous name of "frog," the two desig"
nations sounding rather comically to those who are not verBed
in equine nomenclature — as happened to the newly fledged
cornet who had just joined his regiment, and who rushed up
to the captain of his troop during midday stables to make
the BtartliDg announcement that the farrier had just told him
there were thrushes and frogs in one of his horse's feet.

Thrush is a somewhat common disease in stables where
the hoofs are not properly attended to, where horses Btand
on dirty litter, or where the sheer is allowed to mutilate the
hoof with his knife. The frog is that prominent triangular
mass of horn which occupies a considerable portion of the
ground surface of the foot, and which, owing to the compar-
ative softness of the horn of which it is composed, together
with the elastic cushion it covers and reduplicates, is of such
great importance in the organization of the foot. In the
middle of the widest part of this horny frrg is a depression
or cleft, kbown to anatomists as the medium fissure or
lacuna, and from this opening there comes, when thrush is
present, a very foul-smelling discbarge, so pungent that it is
noticeable at once on entering s stable where there is a horse
badly effected with it. ThiB discharge really proceeds from
the living sensili re membrane that covers the plantar cushion
on which the horny frog lies, and which is exposed through

ENTRIES WILL CLOSE TUESDAY NEXT for
the nomination stakes offered by five associations on
the Northern Circuit, and the Breeder and Sports-
man hopes every horse owner in California who has a
trotter or pacer in training will consider it his duty to
enter his horse in as many of them as possible. At
Colusa, Willows, Eed Bluff and Chico there are four of
these Btakes, each for $1000, and the classes provided are
the same, viz.: 2:40 and 2:25 trotting and 2:30 and
2:20 pacing classes. At Woodland the classes are a
little different. The trotting stakes are for the 2:13 and
2:24 classes, the pacing stakes are for the 2:14 and 2:25
classes, and the amount of each stake is $750. In
none of these stakes does a horse have to be named
until July 2d, and the trainer or owner who fails to take
a nomination next Tuesday will miss an opportunity to
make considerable money if he has a good horse. All
the five places mentioned above have regulation mile
tracks which are already in excellent shape for training
and at each there are good accommodations for horses.
The enterprising associations of the Northern District
are entitled to a grand list of entries this year, as they
were the first to make an announcement, thereby giving
assurance that fair and race meetings would be held, and
restoring confidence among owners and trainers. There
are a vast number of horses being worked on the differ-
ent tracks in California at the present time and never
in the history of this part of the State has there been a
brighter prospect for good crops and prosperity among
the farming community. Everything points to a year
of good crops and good prices, and a successful circuit
of fairs will do much to still further increase the value
of live stock of all kinds. Every man who is interested
in any way in the breeding ol the light harness horse
should do something this year to aid the fairs. One
entry from every owner who has a good horse that is in
training and eligible to the classes advertised by the
Northern circuit, will make a big list of entries and
assure their success. The purses and stakes offered by
these associations whose entries close next Tuesday are
?ery generous and the terms most liberal. There is
probably not another State in the Union where as many
? 1 000 purses will be given as in California this year.
U least 16 weeks of racing will be held and at nearly

every one of the meetings there will be from four to a
dozen purses of $1000 each hung up. It is one of the
peculiar conditions of 1900 that for some reason there
are very few fast green trotters as yet discovered and
the chanceB are more than favorable for a horBe to win
five or six thousand dollars in California this year with-
out taking a faster record than 2:16. The pacers will go
faster but those without records which will get into the
2:12 class before the close of the feason are few. It
looks very much as though the year 1900 wijl be very
like 1899, when the fastest green trotter in the State
trotted no heat better than 2:16}. It is this condition
of affairs that should lead every owner who has a horse
that he believes can trot three heats in 2:20 to enter him
in every one of the stakes in the Northern circuit. A
horse that can trot that fast three times can earn a pile
of money for Mb owner this year. Another reason why
every horse owner should enter in these stakes as liber-
ally as possible is the fact that if they fill well and
make a good showing other associations will offer good
purses and harness racing will have a genuine revival in
California this year, thereby materially benefiting all
interested in harness horses in any way. The advertise-
ments of the associations at Colusa, Willows, Eed Bluff,
Chico and Woodland will be found in another part of
this paper. Entry blanks have been sent to every horse-
man in the State, and it is confidently hoped that the
next issue of the Breeder and Sportsman will con-
tain the announcement that every stake at every meeting
has filled and filled well. The question whether Cali-
fornia will have a season of good harness racing this
year is now in the hands of the horsemen. If they will
make the entries there will be no further doubt about it.
Fill out your blanks and mail tbem Tuesday, and be
Bure that you do not miss a race or a meeting where your
horseB are eligible.

THE SUPERVISORS of San Francisco are wrestling
with the gambling evil and at next Monday's session
some action will probably be taken toward regulating or
prohibiting the selling of pools or wagering in any man"
ner on races, boxing contests, etc. It is to be hoped
that the members of the city and county legislature have
given the matter sufficient thought and consideration to
be able to deal with it in a broad guage, sensible manner
and not in the spirit of narrow-minded vindictiveness
which often prevails when alleged reformers and fraudu-
lent purists attempt to have the morals of a community
regulated by statute according to their standard. The
evil of gambling appears when gambling is sought and
pursued simply for its own sake. No man whose brain
is strong enough to reason with believes there is any sin
or harm in making a wager of one's own money, in a sum
no larger than the bettor can afford to lose on a contest of
speed between horses. It is one of the pleasures of life,
and as such has been indulged in by the very highest
ideals of American manhood, from George Washington
and Thomas Jefferson down through the entire list of
statesmen and patriots. Because there are persons who
are so weak that they cannot resist the temptation to
wager too often and too much on a horse race, is no
reason why racing should be stopped, but it is a sufficient
reason why betting should be regulated, the same as any
other pleasure which people indulge in to excess. If
the Supervisors will close up every pool room, limit rac-
ing to a reasonable period, allow no wagering except on
the premises where contests are actually held, they will
deprive no one of his rights, but will, in a reasonable
and sensible manner, place a needed check upon the
growing evil of making gambling a means of livelihood.

THE NEW YEAR BOOK has been received and is
the best one that has been issued since 1S92. It is
larger than the volumes of previous years, but it is not
so large as to be cumbersome, and contains the data that
one desires to find. The owner of the Year Book for
1899 will not have to run through a half dozen volumes
to ascertain how many standard performers any stallion
or broodmare has produced, as it is all contained in this
one. The volume contains summaries of trotting and
pacing races held in 1899; a list of the slow performers
for that year, that is horses that won heats in slower
than standard time; an alphabetical list of all 2:30 trot-
ters and 2:25 pacers; a table of 2:10 trotters and 2:10
pacers; a great table of standard performers under their
sires; a table of great broodmares, one of champion
trotters, another of fastest records, and one of rejected
records of the year. The book is better printed than the
last one, and every horse breeder should have it. The
price is $4 per copy and the volume can be had at this
office.

VALLEJO WILL HOLD A FAIR in July, and
has taken the week just preceding the opening of the
Northern Circuit, July 16th the 21st inclusive. As will
be seen by the advertisement of the stakes and purses,
which appears in this issue the program of the Northern
Circuit has been closely followed in the nomination
Btakes with this difference: An additional $1000 stake
has been offered for trotters of the 2:15 class. This.
should prove one of the best races of the year as there
are a large number of fast horses eligible to this class
and they should furnish a high class and exciting con-
test. The entries to these nomination purses do not
close until June lst^one month later than those up
north. Vallejo is one of the most prosperous towns in
California. There is something like $75,000 paid out in
wages at the navy yard there every month and there is
not a vacant business house in the town. The Vallejo track
is a perfect one to work horses over, the climate is
excellent and the accommodations at the track are first
class. Thos. Smith, who has the track leased, will do
everything possible for the accommodation of those who
wish to train their horses there and as the Vallejo meet.
ing will be one of the early ones on the circuit, it will
be a good place to train. The District Association, of
which Mr. J. B. McCauley is President and W. T.
Kelly Secretary, propose holding one of the best fairs
ever given in Solano county. Horsemen should enter
well at Vallejo as the meeting will be a good one.

MARYSVILLE HAS RAISED $2000 among her
citizens toward holding a fair this year and a telegram
to the Breeder and Sportsman from President Harkey
of the Agricultural Association, states that the fair will
be held on the date assigned that district at the meeting
of delegates at Chico in February, viz. August 21st to
25th inclusive. This completes the northern circuit and
will give those who enter there six weeks racing. The
Marysville people very much desire the Breeders Asso-
ciation to hold its meeting there in connection with the
fair and will make a very flattering offer at the meeting
of the Board of Directors next Thursday. If the Breed-
ers decide to go there the program will be entirely of
harness races, but if the association gives the meeting it
will .be much the same as those advertised by the other
towns on the circuit — two harness and two running races
each day, four one thousand dollar closing stakes and
the balance purses of about $500 each. We will be able
to announce particulars next week.

SIXTEEN WEEKS of continuous racing will be
offered harness horse owners on the California circuit
this year. Beginning probably at Santa Rosa the first
week in July, good purses can be had each week until
well along in October, and there will be at least $150,000
hung up tor harness races. The shipments this year
will nearly all be short, the tracks are all first class mile
courses, the associations are all reliable and progreaBive
and located in cities of reputation, and the meetings will
be both pleasant and profitable. The California circuit
will in all probability be as follows : Santa Rosa, Napa,
Vallejo, Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico, Marysville,
State Fair, Stockton, Tanforan Park, San Jose, Salinas,
Tulare and Los Angeles.

HARRY KUHL, who has officiated as one of the
judges at Tanforan Park during the season of racing just
closed, was made a benedict by Superior Judge Coffey
last Monday, his bride being Mrs. Myra Moody of this
city. The happy couple left on Tuesday for Chicago,
where Mr. Kuhl will fill the position of presiding judge
during the Hawthorne Park meeting and also act as
associate judge at Washington Park. Mr. and Mrs.
Kuhl will make their home in this city on their return
in the fall.

THE SANTA ROSA RACE TRACK ia advertised
in another part of this paper. It is one of the best
training tracks in the State, the climate is unsuroassed,
hay and grain of the very best quality are to be had at
very low rates and horsemen will find it an excellent
place for getting horses ready for the circuit. Now that
the track has been covered with'a coating of clay, it is
one of the eafest as well as one of the fastest in the
State.

AN EFFORT is being made to have the live stock
exhibit at the Pan American Expoaition to be held in
Buffalo next year, a worthy one. To this end atock
breeders are invited to make suggestions, and Mr. F. A.
Converse, the Superintendent of the Live Stock Depart-
ment will Bend on application information in regard to
premiums, etc. Mr. Converse's addresB is Ellecott
Square, Buffalo, N. Y.

Getting R3ady at Santa Rosa.

Slow Miles Versus Fast Ones.

MiDe hoBtP. H. Qainn, proprietor of that popular hostelry
The Occidental at Santa Rosa, was in the city yesterday and
made this office a call. Mr. Q linn says there are some forty
or fifty horses being worked at Santa Rosa for the circuit.
His son John Qainn has six, there are seven in Dr. Finlaw's
Rosedale Farm striDg, Pierce Brolhers have a big string in
Dick Abie's charge, and there are a number of others. The
Santa Rosa track, since receiving its coating of new earth, is
pronounced by Mr. Qainn to be one of the best he ever
saw and he states that it is the fastest in the 8tate to
a certainty and at the same time perfectly safe and not hard.
A letter recently received from his old home in Humboldt
county conveyed the information that some thirty or more
horses are at work up there and quite a number will be
brought down and campaigned on the circuit. Some of them
will come direct to 8anta Rosa within a few days in all
probability.

Mr. Qainn states that the people of Santa Rosa are prepar-
ing for a grand celebration on the Fourth of July this year
and that excursion trains will be run from all parts of the
surrounding country. If the Breeders meeting should be
held there the same week Santa Rosa will indeed be a lively
town and there will be an immense crowd of people present.
At present there is not a vacant business house in the town
and the county is very prosperous.

Good Ones are Worth Money.

W. B. McDonald of Buffalo, who returned from Austria
a few months ago, has visited about all the sections of this
country where trotters are supposed to be plentiful, during
the last few weeks, looking for promising race horses for
Austrian owners of racing stables, but he says it is almost
impossible to find any for sale at prices which the Austria ns
are willing to pay. The Austrians, of course, want only
stallions and mares, and for high class ones they are willing
to pay well, bat good racing material is so scarce that Amer-
ican buyers outbid the foreigners on every really desirable
horse put on the market.

Mr. McDonald went to Indianapolis to look at the green
mare Ebba by Red Wilkes, that showed miles below 2:15 in
races last fall, and was willing to pay what he considered a
pretty good price for her, but Roy Miller, who trainB for the
Southern Railway magnate, R. H. Plant, came along and
offered $4500 tor the mare. The owner simply shrugged hiB
shoulders and said: "Not a cent less than $5000 gets her,
and I am not anxious to sell at that price." A half a dozen
horsemen raced to Lexington to get the green mare Mary D.
by Cheyenne, that trotted in 2:13 last season, but Miller got
there first and got her for a price said to be $6000.

Mr. McDonald says that was the way all over. As soon a5
a trotter of exceptional promise waB known to be for Bale
there were a half dozen or more buyers after him, and it was
no use for any one to go after one of that kind unless he waB
prepared to pay a large price. Stallions are exceedingly
scarce, and Mr. McDonald says that during the next three
years high clasB stallions will bring larger average prices
than ever before in the history of the trotting horse.

"Vallejo In Line.

California horsemen are in luck this year as ons of the old
time circuits is being arranged and the prospects are excel-
lent for a most succeEsful season. The Directors of District
No. 36 have resolved to hold a meeting at Vallejo and have
taken the week of July 16ih to 21st as the date for their fair.
This is the week which precedes the opening of the Northern
Circuit at Colusa July 23d, and comes in just right, The
Valiejo association has an excellent track and grounds and
propose to offer as good a program as any district organiza-
tion in California. The program of purses and Btakes is
announced in these columns this week and has been ar-
ranged so sb to provide races for all classes of horaes. Wt
T. Kelly has been elected Secretary of the association.

The late Ira Bride waB one of the first to open a book on
harness races, and his [first venture was at the Cleveland
meeting in lt>79. W. B. Fasig waB secretary of the track at
that time, and when Bride called in his office to settle for the
auction and muaicipal privileges, he asked how much extra
was wanted for the book he had put on. "Ob, we won't
charge you for a little thing like that," replied Mr. Fasig.
Afterward Bride paid as much as $7000 and $8000 for that
little privilege.

Nate 8mith, the well koown horseman of Everett,
Washington, arrived in San Francisco this week with a
couple of green horses which he will probably train at
PleaBanton. He will race them on the California circuit.

Enter in the Stanford Stake aod in those stakes for three
year old and two year old trotters and pacers offered by the
State Fair association. See advertisement in this Issue.

Harry Deveretjx has been elected president of the
Cleveland Driving Club.

New York is the only member of the Grand Circuit that
his not opened early closing purses.

Every one who has traveled around among the training
tracks in the spring time must have noticed that the horses,
as a whole, go better gaited and can brush faster when they
first started up than they do a little later in the season'
says "Yarrum" in the Horse Review. I have noticed it for
years, and have seen so many really great trotters and pacers
go better gaited and show more speed the first time they are
asked to step that I have concluded that, under our present
system of training and racing, fully 75 per cent, of the aged
horses in training are capable of goiDg a faster mile in the
spring, before they start in a race, than they ever are after"
wards. I am well aware that this statement will seem pre-
posterous to many successful trainers, but it is my honest
opinion nevertheless, and as I have studied the question
from a rail-bird's standpoint, for a long time, I think I can
make a pretty strong case. 1 have seen hundreds of horses
that could "run away on a trot" and never touch a hair,
with any old thing on their feet, in the spring, and I have
seen the same horses later in the season, when they needed
booting from the ground up and had to wear shoes of a
special pattern and weight whenever they were asked to step.
Every one of them commenced to train off in some respect
as soon as they were driven miles at speed. Some of them
trained off more than otters, of course, hut the fast miles
either dulled their speed or injured their gait to a noticeable
degree. When a trainer has given a horse of this kind Blow
repeats for a month or so and gets him along where he
thinks he can drive him a few miles at two thirds' speed and
let him march the last end of it at his clip, he (the trainer)
will come in from the track some morning and say: "This
horse can simply fiy. He never had as much speed or went
as good gaited, and I actually think he could have stepped a
mile better than his record." Every rail-bird in America
has heard that remark in substance many a time. Every
time I hear it 1 cannot help but think that the particular
horse referred to is cherry ripe and ready to step a faster
mile than he will ever be again that season. The many slow
miles he has gone have conditioned his wind and muscle
until he is ready for the supreme effort. This horse may
not be ready for a split-heat race, but he is ready for one
mile, and my observation has convinced me that if he quits
or shows the white feather in that mile it will not be because
he is short of work but because he is not game.

I am, of course, talking about aged horses that have had a
slow, careful preparation according to the system used by
most all successful trainers nowadays. I said that the horse
that has gone through the usual course of spring training
might not be ready for a lorjg race when he was ready for a
fast mile. I believe, however, that he is in shape to go three
or four good heats, and if I should see him stoD in a race of
that length the first time he turned around I would expect to
see him do it sgain any time. It is an impossibility to con-
dition a horse to go six or eight heats without a sacrifice of
more or less speed. "If all this is true," you ask, "why is it
that more horses do not get their fastest records in their first
starts of the year ?" i would say that it is because the
trainer is always in doubt, at that stage of the game, as to
whether the horse is ready or not, and rather than take the
risk of injuring him he prefers to go easy. Star Pointer took
his present record in 1897 in hiB first start against time. It
is my opinion that he could have lowered that record the
first time he started in 1899 if his owner and driver had
thought he was in condition. He had paced almost one
hundred heats between 2:20 and 2:30, but had not had but
two beats better than 2:17. One, I think, was in 2:12, and
the other was in 2:09. He was booked for a mile against the
track record at Peoria, and McClary decided that the horse
could step a little better than 2:05 without hurting himself.
In one of his warm-up miles be paced through the last
quarter in less than 29 seconds, timed by Mr. Murphy, and
in talking with McClary about it soon after he dismounted
he said: "I never saw the horse es fast or as good gaited and
I could have driven him that quarter in 27 seconds." Twenty
minutes later the horse stepped a mile in 2:02.! and was not
extended a foot of the route. Both McClary and Murphy
were sure that he could have beaten two minutes had he been
asked to, and I think he would have shaded his record right
there if the steam had been turned on. It's a sure thing
that he never went any easier to himself or had more speed
afterwards than he had that day.

The winter of 1894-95 Geers wintered the Hamlin string
in California and they came over the mountains in the spring
with a few hundred slow heats under their belts. The first
place that he started all the cracks was at Des Moines, la.
At that place, the third week in June, be gave exhibitions
with Fantasy, Robert J. and Hal Pointer. He did not care
to take the chances of splitting tbem wide open, so he drove
each horse an easy mile, and this is the way they went:
Fantasy jogged a mile under a pull in 2:07 and came the last
half in 1:01 J. It was the fastest mile she trotted that year,
and she never saw a day in her life afterwards when she
could do it as easy or go as fast. Geers made no effort to
drive her near her limit, and it's a hundred to one that if he
had clucked to her and had a pony to frighten her through
the last half she would have set a mark that would have
been her best. Hal Pointer stepped a very pretty mile in
2:06, last right half at a minute, and Mr. Geers said he
could have beaten bis record. Robert J. stepped in 2:04,
pulled up at the finish. Half way through the stretch it
looked so much like a new record for him that Harry Ham-
lin stepped out on the track and motioned him back, and
Geers ordered the prompter up so that he could take the
little horse back. All of these horses could have taken new
records in those starts if Mr. Hamlin had wished them to.
It would be an easy matter to dig up the stories of ban*
dreds of each instances, not only those that were driven ex-
hibition miles, but horses that have gone or showed that they
could have gone the race of their lives, without getting a

single heat anywhere near the limit in their preparatory
work. All this goes to prove that the principal reason why
horses go belter gaited and faster in the spring than they do
later in the season is that the system of training that made
them good is not carried out. More slow repeals at half and
three-quarter speed and less fast work would have preserved
both speed and gait. All the great trainers from Dan Mace
down worked horseB according to this system, and the most
successful among them have been those who repeated horses
the farthest away from their limits. The aversge 2:10 trotter
can be prepared to go the race of his life with one or two
miles in 2:15 on top of fifty or sixty between 2:30 and 2:20,
and if every driver in the country would give that system a
trial this spring, the number of disappointed owners will be
materially lessened when the Beaeon opens up.

Splan, Turner, Hickok, Doble, Johnston and all the
other trainers of lhat school U6ed to give moBt horses, ten
years ago, twice as much jogging as the average horse gets
nowadays. During the past few years most trainers have
rightly come to the conclusion that few horses need as much
jogging as they used to get, but in their efforts to avoid the
evils of too much slow work, it seems to me that some of
tbem have gone to the other extreme and fail to realize that
there isaoygood in all in jogging. Every time you visit
the training track on work out dayB this spring you will see
some driver let a horse step a mile faster than he really in-
tended to drive him when he went out, and the stereotyped
excuse is: "I couldn't drive him any 6l wer without pulling
him too hard, aod it won't do him as much harm to let him
Btep as it would to pull him." In other words, the horse is
so rank that the driver cannot rate him. One of the old-
school trainers would have jogged that horse anywhere from
ten to fifteen miles before starting him up and the horse
would have been very eaBy to rate afterwards. I notice that
these trainers who do not believe in jogging get lotB of
horses that fail to train on and always have a few fast ones
that are handicapped with bad manners. Hickok used to
give his horses more jog work than any other trainer ever
did, and the teamster whose horses are very speedy but un-
reliable will tell you that Hickok used to "drill 'em half to
death," but you will recollect that his horses were always
wonderfully reliable. They carried their heads in front of
tbem, went on a trot and could be depended upon to do
whatever Mr. Hickok figured they ought to do. 8t. Julien
2:11}, the horse that wsb a reliable race horBe and a record-
breaker for Hickok, waB originally one of the most erratic
and uncontrollable horses that ever lived. Hickok used to
have the boy that took care of him, jog him twenty-fiv
miles a day, and on one occasion he worked him, after he
had had an early morning jng of seventeen miles, thirty6
seven slow heats between 3:00 and 2:30 in one day. Th t
system made 8t. Julien a record breaker. Wnai would he
have been in the hands of one of the trainers who do not be-
lieve in jogging ?

The Leading Sires.

The Year Book, however, shows that thirty-five horses are
credited with fifty standard performers. Electioneer has
stood at the head of this list for a number of years, but now
has to give place to Nutwood with 160 to his credit, one more
than the former leader. Next to Electioneer comes Onward
with 146, followed by Red Wilkes with 145 and Alcantara
with 181. Onward and Red Wilkes are both hale and
hearty and both are quite sure to pass Nutwood in time.
The youngest horse in the list is Allerton 2:09}, foaled in
1886. Of these thirty-five horses, thirty-one trace in the
direct male line to Hambletonian; three to Mambrino Chief,
one to Henry Ciav and one Blue Bull has no known breed-
ing. Fifteen of them traced to Hambletonian through George
Wilkes, five through Electioneer and three through Alexan-
der's Abdallah. The following table gives a complete list of
all sireB of fifty or more standard performers, with the total
number credited to tbem at the close of 1899, and also the

here this week.

The Directors of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders Association will hold a meeting on Thursday next,
May 3d, at wbich time the date and place of the race meet-
ing will be fixed. It is expected that propositions will be
made by the associations at Stockton, MaryBville and Santa
Kosa to have the meeting held in cocj unction with the fair
at one of those places.

The two year old pacing fitly by Hanford Medium 2:11 J
out of the dam of Kelly Briggs 2:10a will not be raced this
year. She was taken with pneumonia while at the Wood-
land track and came near dyirg, but is now out of danger.
She was the fastest two year old working on the Woodland
track, and her owner, Kelly Briggs of Winters, confidently
expected to give hera very low mars this year. Det Bigelow
has been training her.

The finest pasturage for valuable horses can be had at the
W. O'B. Macdonongh Stock Farm near Pleasanton. The
feed this year is unsurpassed on this well known farm and as
it is fitted up with splendid paddocks which can be rented
separately, and has well built barns with box stalls, etc., it is
an ideal place to pasture valuable horses. There is no barbed
wire on the place and horses can be kept in any manner de-
sired. See advertisement.

One of the liveliest towns in Northern California is Bed

Bluff and the citizens of that place who have the fair in
charge are making an extra effort to make it a big success
this year. Those who fail to enter at Bed Bluff will miss
one of the best meetings of the year. Entries to four $1000
nomination stakes, two for trotters and two for pacers close
next Tuesday. Mail your entries in time.

The auction sale of roadsters and general purpose horses
which look place at the Occidental Horse Exchange last
Monday evening was quite successful. The horses sold were
a good average lot, but no high class animals were among
tbem. The prices obtained were satisfactory and averaged
about $90 for the fifty head sold. The top price was $175
paid for a pacer that showed someBpeed. Bidding was lively
and many dealers were among the bidders.

On Saturday. March 31, a fine broodmare died at the sta-
ble ef A. H. Croaset, Big Spriogs, Tex., and in order to
ascertain the cause of her death Mr. Crosset cut her open
and found two colts, one a horse and the other a mule colt,
To the best of our knowledge thiB iB an instance never before
recorded in this or any other country. Another strange
feature of the case is that there was a difference of at least
three months in the ages of the colts, the horse colt being
the older. — The Horseman.

Colusa will hold a fair and race meeting that will attract
more outsiders to the pretty town on the Sacramento river
than anything that ever happened. Those who have charge
of the fair are active and energetic and are making special
arrangements for visiting horsemen, The Colusa track is
one of the best in the State. The stakes that close Taesday
next are fully described in our advertising columns and no
horseman can afford to miss them. They are for $1000 each,
two being for trotters and two for pacers. Don't miss Colusa
this year.

Eveet horseman who has trotted or paced a horse over
the track at Willows will want to go there again this year
and on Tuesday next will fill out i he entry blanks for the
four early closing $1000 slakes which close on that day.
Willows is the best netting town of its size on the Coast and
every man, woman and child in the place attends the races.
The program arranged for the harness horses by the Willows
association is an excellent one and no horse owner can afford
to Btay away from there this year. Enter in every race you
possibly can at Willows.

Chas. Newman haB a stallion colt on his hands and
wants to Bell him. Not because there is anything the matter
with the colt, but because he has no use for him and the
only place he has to keep him is in a box stall in a livery
stable. The colt is a good looking trotter, by McKinney
2:11}, dam Biddy Toole bv A. W- Richmond; second dam
Dublin Mary by Humboldt, a running bred horse. This
colt ought tn make a trotter and gives every promise
of being a fast one. He is well enough bred to make
a stock horse. Call at the Richelieu, cor Market and Geary
streets and ask Mr. Newman about him. He will sell for
less than the colt is worthy

Hobsemen who need new sulkies or carls this year, will
make a great mistake if they do not inspect the McMurray.
The McMurray has been on the market for a great many
years and has always given the best of satisfaction on the
mile tracks, where a light, strong, speedy sulky is necessary,
and on the half mile tracks, where the greatest strength is
required. The jigging carts are suitable for training, speed-
ing and matinee driving, and they weigh 60 pounds. These
carls are snpplied with cushions and pneumatic tires. The
McMurray fculky Co. is prepared to fill on Bhort notice a
pneumatic wagon for fancy driving, one of the best of the
kind made. W. J. Kenney, at 531 Valencia street, is agent
for the McMurray.

According to W. B. Carter of Mexico, Mo , the Lawson
stable has a veritable trotting wonder in (he much discussed
Sagwa. Carter, who brought out the horse, recentlv wrote
James Gatcomb, the Lawson trainer, a full account of Sagwa's
breeding and history acd ended his letter as follows-: ''1 have
been training horses for tweniy-five years, and have had
many good horses, but none the equal of Sagwa. In my
opinion be has the making of the greatest trotler; he is
game, levpl beaded and has a world of .speed. Tbat he will
trot in 2:06 or better for you iB my prediction. If I had had
the money nobodr would have owned the horse but mvself,
and I think he will lower all trottiog records if no accident
happens to throw him out of training."

Marysville will hold a fair daring the week of August
20th to 25th. There is much interest being manifested this
year in every district and Marvsville proposes to get into the
procession. The date selected is the one assigned by the
convention of representatives from the Northern circuit
which met at Chico recently and is the week preceding
Woodland's big fair. The race program will be announced
soon.

Thos. O'Bbizn, who for several years past has been the
trainer at Mr. A. B. Spreckels' Aptos 8tock Farm, has con-
tracted the Cape Nome fever and will start for the frozen gold
fields within a few days. If Tom can get the gold out of the
ground as well as he can get speed out of horses he will return
with enough to buy a stock farm of Mb own. Mr. O'Brien's
place on the farm will be taken by 8. E. Kent, who has been
in the employ of Mr. J. B. Iverson of Salinas for several
years. Mr. Kent is one of tbe most competent trainers and
conditioners in California and an excellent man with young
horses, being quiet, careful and even tempered, and is besides
an excellent reinsmao. With the material to work on at
Aptos be will be able to do much toward placing that breed-
ing farm among the leading speed producing farms of
America.

If all goes well and he stands the preparations for a cam-
paign, the Fjrbes Farm's premier stallion Arion 2:07], may
again be seen on the race track this season. Henry Titer,
who lookes after Mr. Forbes' racing Btable, has been samp-
ling the famous son of Electioneer, during the past winter,
and when he moved his Btable to tbe training quarters at the
Readville track he begged Mr. Forbes to permit him to take
Arion along with the others. After considerable coaxing
the desired permission was given. Titer is confident that be
can shape tbe horse up for a trial against his present record,
even if he does not start him in some of tbe late free for all
races. Bingen 2:06?-, will probably not be trained this Year,
because of the demand for his services in the stud. This
will leave Peter the Great as the mainstay of the Btable for
the open classes.

Electioneer still beads tbe list of trotting sires, with 157
performers to his credit in the 2:30 list. But when pacers
as well as trotters are considered, Nutwood 2:18f is now the
leading sire, the great son of Belmont and Miss Rasseil
having to bis credit 128 trotters and 32 pacers as against 157
trotters and 2 pacers for the son of Rysdyk'e Hambletonian
and Green Mountain Maid. These two sires were of nearly
the same age and were brought to California almost simul-
taneously, gaining their- prominence here. When the first
"Year Book" was compiled. Electioneer had 12 trotters to
bis credit in the 2:30 list, while Nutwood's list comprised 9
trotters and 1 pacer. At tbat time the old broken-legged
Indiana pacer Blue Bull stood at tbe head of the list, having
to his credit 47 trotters as against 41 for George Wilkes.

Charles Jzffbies is now at Pleasanton with a string of
six horses from Mr. A. B. Spreckele' Aptos 8tock Farm.
The record horses in the string are Dione 2:091- and Psyche
2:17;-, both looking well and in good condition to begin
working for an early circuit. The others are Sen Ren, the
four year old Dexter Prince filly that Geo. Berry worked
some last year, and three green ones from the farm wbich
Jack Dinue brought np a few dayB ago. One is a fall sister
to Dreyfas, the fast gelding by Dexter Prince out of MisB
Valensin that was sold for $1350 at a New York sale last
January. This filly is a trotter and a fast one. There is
another filly bv Dexter Prince that is a trotter and a gray
one by Aptos Wilkes that is a pacer and fast. Mr. Jeffries
has begun work on tbem and will have them ready for the
circuit when it opens.

Woodland's Fair has always been considered one of the
best district fairs in the State. The track there 1b a fast one
and the association always provides the very beat of every-
thing in the way of purses and accommodations for the
horsemen. The fact tbat the meeting is held a week prior
to the State Fair giveB every one a chance to attend both
meetings and as the cities of Woodland and Sacramento are
but 17 miles apart makes the expense for railroad fairs and
freights very small in comparison with some of the hauls on
the circuit. Woodland's program of harness races, as pub-
lished in the advertising columns of this issue, is one that
meets the endorsement of the horse owners and on Tuesday
next Secretary Thomas ought to receive tbe biggest list of
entries in the history of the organization. If you are going
on the Northern Circuit you can't afford to leave Woodland
out, and if net you will necessarily want to race at Wood-
land. Entries cl"se next Tuesday to the 2:13 and 2:24
trotting nnd the 2:14 and 2:25 pacing classes, and these purges
are for $750 each.

Statistics gleaned from tbe new Year Book, wbich has
just come from the press, present some interesting facts rela-
tive to the magnitude of the trotting horse interest and its
growth since 1885 When Vol. I. of the work was issued it
contained BUmmarieB of all races, regardless of the time made
therein. About 4000 trotting and pacing contests were
reported from 470 different tracks, with something like 5000
different horse? as starters. Nowadays only races in which
2.30 is made or beaten are reported. Of Bach contests there
were in 1899 upward of 4000 on 870 tracks, with oearlv 9000
different horses as starters. While nearly 269 trotters were
added to the 2:30 list in 18S5, the number of newcomers last
year was 883; and the complete list, which comprised only
2153 trotters when the Year Bnnk was established, has
now been swelled to a to'el of 15.S27. Still m^re remark-
able is the increase in tbe number of pacers Fifteen years
ago there was only 439 Bidewheelers in the 2:30 list, 65 new
ones having crossed tbe line in that year. Now that the
standard rate of speed for p*cers has been advanced to 2:25,
no accent is taken of Blower records, but the current volume
of the Year Book shows a total of 6941 pacers in the 2:25
list. Of this number no less than 847 entered tbe list Iftst
year. Probahlv 1000 or more pacerR gained records of 2:30
or better in 1899, as against 65 in 1885. The list of starters
in the races of last season shows a larger proportion of pacers
than ever before, and their numbers are now nearly, if not
quite, equal to those of the trotters.

A Louisville dispatch save: "Charley Hughes, trainer
of Lieutenant Gibson, the Kentucky Derhy favorite, will
take Mr. 8mith'« crack three year old to England after the

Bald, the bicycle rider.

True Blue established a track record at Tantoran Park
on Tnursday of last week. He not only beat Sardine, but
did the trick after gettiog decidedly the worst of the send-off,
and ran the distance, five and one-balf furlongs, in the track
record time of 1:06|. Sardine was such a pronounced favor-
ite that many who even liked the Corrigan filly were com-
pelled to back True Blue' at 3 and 3£ to 1. Sardine was in
the lead passing the saddling paddock, but True Blue out-
gamed her the last half a drz°n strides under punishment,

J. N. Long, of StanisKus county, is the owner of a colt
that he tbioks will be able to head all the two year olds in
the 8tate when it is old enough to start in the races. Its sire
is Montana and its dam the fdBt sprinter Gypsy Girl Oscar
Duke, who leased Montana laBt year, writes us that all the
mares bred to that borBe last year have proven in foal.
8even colts and fillies have already been dropped on Mr.
Duke's farm, all bv Montana, and they are all big, fine look-
ing youngsters. Mr. Duke could not get the services of a
Bullion that suited him this year, so let all his mares go
over. He says that he is probably a little harder to please
since breeding to a horBe like Montana.

Through the efforts of 8. 0. Lyne, formerly secretary of
the old Kentucky Association, the famouB racecourse, which
has been closed to the public for more than a year, is to be
reopened May 1st, and it is probable that a new race meeting
will be given there in September. Mr. Lyne began taking a
popular subcription and soon secured enough money to
lease tbe grounds from its St. Louis owners, represented by
CharleB Green. Mr Lvne will begin at once to place the
track, grounds and stablee in shape for traioing purposes and
has already been assured that many of the stables will be oc-
cupied aasoon as they are ready.

Racing in South America.

There is probably no part of the world where the love of
witnessing thoroughbred contests is growing apace faster
than in Buenos Ayres. As an illustration giving the Ameri-
can sportsman an idea of tbe racing prospects there during
the current season it may be men'ioned that the total amount
given in stakes reaches a sum, in round figures, of $250,000
in gold, to which the other six porsea of each raciog day
that are given bring the figures up to a total of $600,000
gold given away under the auspices of the Jockey Club alone.
Then there is besides, the Eelgrano race course, at which
meeting an average amount of $200,000 is given away in
stakes and purses.

The Palermo track resumed the racing season od March
4th laot, with the opening of the fall meeting, and The
Spirit's correspondent predicts a much more interesting
season this year, basing his views on the increased cumber of
entries received for the stake", as well as from the qualities
expected of the three year olds estimated by the prices they
brought at public auction at the horse show when they were
two year olds.

The total number of entries for the fifty-eight stakes is
4847. Rome of ihe prices paid at the borse show were as
follows: Penitente, a colt hv Neapolis— Pas Begeule. who
went to the hammer for $10,000; Waxy, by Neapolis— WpI-
come, $4500; Incognito, by N«*opolis— Impetuosity, $5000;
Hipocratp. by Ga» Hermi< — Neeta, $8000; Germinal, by
Stiletto — L* Ricrell, $5500; Horocope, by Gay Hermit—
Promts", $6000; and a number of others, at prices ranging
from $1500 to $4000; all these prices named being in gold.—

American horsemen just now have a lively interest in the
English Derby to be run at Epsom Downs in June. This
unusual interest in that celebrated classic is occasioned by
the fact that Lord Beresford's American bred entry, Demo-
crat, the second choice in the preliminary or winter booking,
is directly a descendant of the old Maria West family which
was founded by John M. Clay, one of the most renowntd
turfmen of his day and whose widow still conducts the breed-
ing establishment made famous by him, just beyond the east-
ern limits of Lexington. However, Kentucky turfmen gen-
erally ere of the opinion that Democrat will not win the
Derby, and probably the majority of them have doubts r/
his ability to finish inside of the money. All of their argu-
ment, writes a correspondent of the New York Telegraph, i8
based on the question of sex. They hold, and statistically
so, that the fact that he is a gelding detracts much from the
staying qualities of this candidate. Geldings in their early
foim have figured but slightly as winners of the great events
of the running turf. I do not recall a single great classic for
three year olds in the East which haa been won by a gelding.
Three times the Kentucky Derby has been won by geldings —
Vagrant, Macbeth II. and Apollo, but in each instance the
horees finishing behind them were proven to be of no class.
Proctor Knott, Drake Carter and Stratbmeath were the best
geldings to show in three year old form, but neither of them
was within ten pouuds of his two year old form, and it was
generally argued that either of these would have been twenty
pounds better had he never been gelded.

The element of uncertainty attending the retention of form
by geldings from two to three years old is as great, if not
greater, than that in a mare. Geldings are best from four to
six years old. This from the fact that they do not fully
develop and mature until they have reached these ages
The careers of Parole, Checkmate, Monitor, Eudolph and
Banquet furnish splendid illustrations of this contender.
That about 90 per cent, of the American bred horses sent
to England have been gelded is a matter of much regret to
Kentucky turfmen. It lessens their chances of successful
competition with the English bred animal and prevents pos-
terity. The practice of gelding colts is fast being abolished
by wise breeders in thiB country. They have by years of
study and careful observation learned that the value of the
colt as a race horse is materially decreased thereby.

M. H. Sanford, founder of the noted Preakness Stod of a
quarter of a century ago, now known as Elmendorf, and
owned by J. B. Haggin, in his day one of the best posted of
racing men on either side of the Atlantic, was fco absorbed
with the fallacy of gelding youngsters that he would never
Bell a colt of bis breeding to a person whom he suspected
would geld the animal, and even when they were put up a*
public auction he would go personally to the buyers and
request that they be not gelded.

On one occasion Col. W. R. Johnson, the agent for P
Lorillard, came to Lexington to attend the sale of the Preak]
ness Stud yearlings. The lot comprised several particularly
good looking colts. Mr.- Sanford heard that Col. Johnson
intended to buy the colts. He went to him and said : "Col.
Johnson, I would rather you would not bid on those colts-
You know Mr. Lorillard is given to the practice of gelding
his coIib, and I would rather sell my horses for a few dollars
less than to see their chances as two and three year olds
blighted by castration."

Mr. Lorillard, who was then an advocate of the practice
of gelding, has come to see its ill effects and has ceased it en-
tirely. Col. Milton Young, master of the McGrathiana 8tud,
is one of the bitterest enemies to tbis practice id Kentucky.
He eays: "The laws of mathematics do not permit of addi.
tion by subtraction. Then when you take away from a horBe
that part of him you cannot add to hiB value." Col. Young
has owned probably more horses than any other man in
Kentucky, and he says that Bootjick is the only gelding
that he ever owned which did not seem to show the effects of
being gelded. He owned Lost Cause, Bancroft, Boatman
and Barnum, any one of which he thinks would have been
better by from ten to twenty pounds had they never been

gelded.

A frightfol accident occurred at the Aqueduct track
Tuesday, in which Jockey O'Leary was fatally injured and
two other boys were badly shaken up. It occurred in thj
fifth race and in a moderate field. The horses got away in
good order, and when they had gone about a sixteenth of a
mile Q. E- Wigbiman, with McJoynt up, stumbled and fell,
the jockey rolling under the fence out of harm's way and
escaping with slight bruises and a shaking up. Pettifogger
bumped into Wightman as the latter was falling and went
into the air, turniog a somersault and landing on bis back.
Hewitt was thrown some distance, but he, too, was out of the
way of tbe other horses and was even leas hurt than McJoynt.
O'Leary, however, was not bo fortunate, for Randy, which
he was riding, stumbled into the pair of horses on tbe
ground and threw O'Leary among tbem. He was kicked in
the bead by one of tbem and the skull was crushed in. Ad
ambulance was called and he was taken to St. Mary's Hospi-
tal in Brooklyn, where he died. The three horses escaped
with injuries which are not thought to be serious, although
they are not likely to race for some time.

The Fresno Tournament.

The blue rock tournament at Fresno tomorrow and Mon-
day will, without doubt, have a large attendance of shooters.
The committee of arrangements announce everything ready
for the shooters, many of whom will indulge in considerable
practice shooting for two or three days before the tourna-
ment events commence. The Board of Governors of the
California Inanimate Target Association held a meeting last
Saturday evening and completed the final arrangements for
the shoot. Secre'ary Ad Gundendorfer promises an even
more perfect system of scoring and announcing results in the
different events than has been practiced berefore. Advice B
have been received to the effect that there will probably he
upward of 150 entries in the tournament. Fresno sportsmen
have made great preparations for the entertainment and re-
ception of the visiting shooters. In place of the "individual''
championship medal this year the association has offered an
elegant and valuable diamond medal typical of the State
blue rock championship. This prize will be awarded to the
shooter making the highest average in all the individual
events in the two day's shoot.

At the Traps .

About forty trap shooters faced the live bird traps on the
Association grounds at Ingleside last Sunday io the different
events on the card for the San Francisco Gun Club regular
monthly pigeon shoot. In the club race at twelve birds
thirty-three guns kept the traps busy during the forenoon.
Of these sportsmen, M. O. Feudner, John Karney and Hyp
Justins were the only ones with straight scores, thirteen men
followed with but one bird lost to each. The
average of shooting skill shown was far better than
usual, several of the new men evidencing a degree
of improvement that was hardly expected. The
weather was all that could be desired to make
shooting conditions favorable, the birds, procured
by the management under a new system and kept
in a large and comfortable house on the grounds,
were a strong lot and severely tested the skill
of some of the veterans at critical times. The

Prior to the regular program for the day last Sunday at
Ingleside a match for the Olympic live bird challenge medal
was shot between M. O. Feudner and W. A. Marshall, the
latter gentleman being the challenger. Feudner shot at
tweotv-three pigeons, standing on the thirty yard mark;
Marshall's quota being twenty-three birds, shot at from the
twenty-eight yard slat. The race was finally woo by Mar*

THE OOLCHER TROPHY.

Won by JoBeph Ross at Antioch, May 30, 1899.

The State Live Bird Tournament announced for Friday,
Saturday and Sunday, May 4th, 5th and 6th, will be held on
the Association grounds at Ingleside under the joint auspices
of the veteran California Wing Club, the Olympic Gun Club
and the San Francisco O nn Club. This event so closely
following the Fresno meeting promises to bring together a

large number of sportsmen. The live bird grounds at Ingle-
side have been recently improved in many respects; the man-
agement promises to snpply a lot of birds that will be hard
to beat.

The Gold Dust Medal is at present held by Clarence C,
Nauman, In this event at IngleBide last June, there were
two high scores of nineteen each, "Slade" and Nauman. The
tie was shot off at two lota of five birds without result, Nau-
man finally won the medal on the toss of a coin, both shooters
agreeing (o divide the entrance money in this race in the
contest next week.

C. A. Haight and Clarence Nauman won the DuPont
Smokeless Powder race last year on straight score?. Joseph
Ross, of Antioch, is now the holder of the Fay Diamond
Medal, having won it at IngleBide last June 4th, in a race
with twenty-two other Bbooters, by making a clean score of
twenty birds.

The program for the State live bird shoot is given below.

The Olympic Gun CInb blue rock meeting for April was
held on the Association grounds last Sunday. In the regular
events at the Ingleside target traps commencing with the
club medal race Otto Feudner, A.J.Webb and "Slade"
made the top scores with twenty-four breaks each, Ed Schultz
made an equal score in this event shooting for birds only.
The special prize race followed, shooters having a handicap
classification determined by the scores made in the preceding
race. Clarence Haight was bigh gun in this event winning
first money in the club purse and side pool. Stanley
Scovern took second money and A. J. Webb and
Will Golcher divided third money in tbe club purse
and also second money in the side pool, of which
latter issue Fred Feudner and Hyp Justins divided
third money and "Sands" won fourth. The con-
cluding regular event of the day's program, tbe
"diamond ring" race had but eleven entries, Ed
Schultz was bigh man with twenty four breaks. The
final shoot for this trophy will take place on
August 26th. Contestants in this race must partici-
pate in four out of the five first shoots; on a basis of
the four best scores shot the shooters' classification
for place in the final shoot will be made. A number
of ten, fifteen, twenty and twenty-five target practice events
were shot out during the day , the wind in the afternoon tested
the shooter's skill to a considerable degree. Ed Schultz
Bhowed the best results for the day's Bhooting, making a
fifteen straight and four twenty fours in twenty-five target
practice, being a record of 111 broken out of 115 shot at.
The largest straight score during the day was made by Feud-
ner, twenty-five breaks at No. 1 bulkhead. The complete
scores in the club races follow :

OARTRIDaH: AND SHELL.

The jury disagreed at Santa Cruz on the 20th inst. in the
caBe of A. i. W. Gibbs of San Francisco, charged with
shooting quail out of season, standing seven for acquittal to
five for conviction.

The Garden City Gun Club will make a strong bid to re-
tain the trophies won at Antiocb last May. The members
have been shooting exceedingly well io practice events bo far
this season, among those billeted for Fresno are W. B. Hob-
son, Dr. A. M. Barker, R. Coykendall, George Anderson,
F. Mayo, W. H. Yarian, J. K. Carroll and Clem Arques.

Moose bunting is sometimes a very dangerous pastime, and
now and then leads to the hunters being themselves hunted.
Two guides, one up a tree and the other hiding underneath
the branches of a fallen spruce, guarded all night by a bull
moose, almost perished recently in Canada. One of them
has practically recovered, but the other will not be able to
walk for months. They were caught in a big snow storm,
and losing the trail that would take them to the place they
wished to reacb, they started a fire, made a "shake down" of
boughs and rolled themselves in blankets. They fell asleep
bat were awakened by a noise in the underbrush. A huge
moose emerged not thirty feet distant and stared at the fiie.
The rifles of the men were in a hollow stump, near the
moose, and both sought refuge in trees. The moose caught
one of them and wounded him in the legs. He was pulled
to the ground but fortunately rolled under a fallen spruce.
The other attempted to get bis rifle, but was unsuccessful.
He called to his companion to climb a tree, but the man was
helpless. They remained until morning, with the moose on
guard, and were rescued by a party of woodsmen, much the
wore for their adventure with a ball moose.

An outfit suitable for ordinary salt water use, on floun lers,
striped bass, smelt, rockfish and porgies, may be purchased
very reasonably nowadays, as so many men have use for fish-
ing tackle that rods, reel?, lines, etc., are tamed oat in
quantities sufficiently large to allow of their being placed on
the market at figures within the means of every one.

It is well, when purchasing a rod for saltwater use, to
remember that it is the weight of the sinker, especially in
casting, that gives the greatest amount of wear to a rod, and
to select one whose weight and stiffness are adapted to the
amount of lead he will most generally be obliged to use. A
skillful fisherman, once fast to a good sized striped bass,
could manage to land him on a six-ounce fly rod without
damaging the latter, but he would probably wreck it in mak-
ing his cast. It is the continual strain of the lead in casting
for bass and in keeping it off bottom when after other fish
that wears out the rod in time. The butts are so short and
stoat that a double-reel seat, though sometimes used, is really
unnecessary, as very little strain comes on that part of the
rod.

It is always economy to bay the best reel that one can
aff 3rd. One with steel pivots is really the most economical
in the end, as it wears longer, and with it one can cast
further, and there is less strain on rod and line when making
the cast. Salt water is bound to corrode metal more or less,
and the less metal there is in a reel the easier it will be to
keep it in attractive shape. A rubber-mounted reel is there-
fore advised, and the more rubber and the less metal in the
Bide plates the better. Many novices in salt water fishing
make the mistake of purchasing a reel of too small capacity.
The reel should be considered as a line reservoir, and it must
be remembered that the hundred feet or so of line most used
will be rotted by the Bait water, and mast be cut off and
thrown away. A man with a large reel can sacrifice several
hundred feet without patting on a new line, while he whose
reel carried just a sufficient amount for his needs mast bend
on a new line each time he finds the business end becoming
weak. A line should be washed in freeh water and thor-
oughly dried in the open air after each fishing trip, if one
does not care to have it part at unexpected and inconvenient
moments. Two hundred and fifty feet of fifteen or twelve-
thread linen will be found strong enough for all ordinary
fishing in our local waters. When purchasing a reel always
take your rod butt with you to make certain that the reel
plate will fit the reel seat to the rod. It is strange that the
tackle makers persist in refusing to adopt a universal system
of measurements that will allow a man to be certain that an;
ordinary size of reel will fit an ordinary size of rod, bat
many a fisherman with a new reel has spent laborious hours
with a file in endeavoring to make these two important por-
tions of his outfit get on friendly terms with each otker.

Another warning which may not be entirely out of place
is to buy one's line first and then select a reel which will
hold it, without paying any attention to the capacity which
may be stamped on the plate of the latter. While some
makers make allowance for the larger size of line which will
be used upon their larger sized reels, others persist in classi-
fying them by their capacity for the smallest gauge of line,
and many a tyro has found, much to bis disgust, that he
could get lesB than two hundred yards on his so-called two-
hundred-and-fifty-yard reel. Another pleasantry of some
tackle dealers is that of making their illustrations of lines
one size larger than the actual gauge, "because it shows up
better." Some day a long-BufferiDg public will rise in its
wrath and read the riot act in regard to the above-named
outrages, and then the manufacturers will get down to a
business-like manner of doing things.

tamed at haphazard, with more regard to the promptness
with which they could be obtained than to their quality or
price. By making one's plans a long way ahead, consider-
able shopping and comparison of quality and price may be
made, and the prospective purchaser will discover that the
difference io price between dealers in the article needed will
if taken advantage of, afford him a large saving in the pur-
chase of hie outfit. It is an axiom with experienced sports-
men that, while a good judge of sporting goods may pick up
a bargain at a cheap store, the man who knows nothing
about euch articles is apt to get stuck pretty bad in the qual-
ity of the same. |It ie therefore advisable in making pur-
chases of this kind to always go shopping accompanied by a
mao who knows something about it, as goodB which may
look precisely the eame before being used will often present
vastly different aspects nndbr the test of a few days usage.

In purchasing a tent, for instance, it is well to remember
that a proper pitch to the roof will do more to shed water
than any amount of waterproofing, and that a properly cat
tent of comparatively light stuff will Bhed water better than
one in which, in order to have high walls, the maker has
given very little slant to the roof. A difference of six in-
ches in the height of the walls of a tent does not greatly de-
tract from the usefulness of the same, as the cots and beds
are usually placed at the sides, and it often makes all the
difference between a dry habitation and a shower bath in
rainy weather. A tent which has been waterproofed not only
obviates the use of a fly, which is often an unpleasant thing
to carry, but it will not mildew, and therefore lasts longer
and looks much neater.

In making up a collection of cooking and eating ntennls,
it is well to remember that tinware, while the cheapest, is
also about the meanest kind for obb, as it raets on very slight
provocation. Aluminum ware, or, if one is economically
inclined, the imitation of agate called crystal steel will be
found cleanly and durable and perfectly rust-proof. For
carrying goods, such as clothes and blankets, in an open
boat, waterproof canvas bags are far superior to rubber, as
the latter material has a tendency to crack and chip, espec-
ially if exposed to salt water and the hot son. The sleeping
bags, which are good things for bedding, are rather high in
price at present, but a very fair substitute may be made by
Bewing up blankets into bags or attaching buttons to them,
so that they may be buttoned up for use as a bag or opened
and spread in the sun when one wishes to dry them. A
camp is usually a moist place in the morning, and all cloth-
ing and bedding should be aired and dried in the sunlight on
clear days.

There is nothing so comfortable for camp wear or canoeing
as a hunting shirt made of good quality gray flannel, which
will not show the dirt, and a pair of knickerbockers of good
quality corduroy. White duck trousers and white flannel
or madras shirts are entirely out of place in the woods as,
while looking very beautiful when first pat on, they soil
very rapidly, especially if one has to carry wood to build a
fire or happens to get on the leeward side of a fire on a
windy day.

Antone and Giovani Ghio, two fishermen, were recently
arrested for taking fish illegally, using small meshed nets
and stretching the nets across Petalama creek over night.
Justice King, of Santa Rosa, imposed a fine of $100, which
was paid, to convince the delinquents that laws were made to
be observed and not to be violated with impunity always.

Outing Hints.

While it is yet early in the season, it is not too early to
commence planning as to how one's summer vacation should
be spent — whether on a fishing trip, a camping outing, living
on an ark or houseboat, or, in case one's vacation comes in
the fall, on a shooting trip. Most of the unpleasantness
and inconveniences that arise from an outdoor vacation may
be traced directly to a lack of preparation, and forming one's
plans, especially in'regard to details, at the last moment. If,
after deciding just how the vacation wilt be spent and where,
the prospective outer will make a list of everything which he
thinks he requires as they occur to him, and then, some
weeks before starting out, will submit it to some one whom
he Knows to be experienced in the way of living chosen, he
will find that he has saved himself many annoyances.

There is nothing more likely to spoil a summer vacation
than a hurried estimate of what one will need, made at the
last moment, and consisting of articles that have been ob-

Walter West hooked a troot from the waters of Milliken
creek on tne 20th inst. which is a curio, says the Napa
Register. It had no upper jaw. Whether that part of the
nibbling apparatus had been pulled out forcibly by hook and
line or whether the fish is just naturally deformed, nobody
but the fish can tell, and he's dead.

A report comes from the Rosedale and other trout streams,
says the Pleasantoc Times, that the spreckled beauties are
quite scare, the use of dynamite during the opening days of

the season is the cause of the scarcity of the trout.

Salmon are running in numbers io Monterey bay. Large
schools of sardines is the cause for the abundance of salmon
at present.

health and in something like controllable order; on the other
hand it is unreasonable to expect an animal to take at one
meal sofficient focd to laBt him for twenty-four home, if he
takeB it it will make him too sleepy and too gross to be fit for
anything before the next feeding time comes. The style
of feeding which obtains in a menagerie is not by any means
suited to the needs of the "friend of man."

Well, now, as regards the question of twice versus three
times a day, much will depend upon the breed of doe and
moreover age and general condition of health. In my opin-
ion twice a dav, viz , about 8 a. m. and 7 p.m. are the best
times for feeding an average Bturdy healthy dog. If any
food be given intermediately it will be a "scrappy" nature;
bat we are now speaking of solid substantial m< als, and of
thepe two a day are, in my view, quite enough. The morn-
ing meal may consist of dog cakes, porridge of oatmeal and
milk, and very little, if anv, meat The evening fare should
be boiled meat wiih vpgeiables well cooked, particularly if
ofhl meat, und previously to cooking thoroughly clean.

An excellent plan which I often recommend is to give
the d e a dry biscuit to commence each meal. Let him
have this whole to gnaw at during the preparation of the
meal. Its effect will be twofold, it will cleanse hie leeth and
will take awav moreover the keen edge of appetite, and by
bo doing will tend to check that habit of "bolting" food so
common among dogs. I have advised this system over and
over again to those who have charge of dogs, and it invari-
ably finds favor wherever it is tried.

A ereat mistake is often made in not supplying dogs with
a sufficiency of vegetable food. This is most necessary for
their health. No doubt the reader haB noticed in his ex-
perience how fond a dog is, after being confined, of grass. In
fact he makes for it on almost every opportunity and begins
to eat it quite Beriously Here we have a simple natural
prompting, and this needs to be borne in mind when we are
catering for dogs. All kinds of vegetables and roots are
good for the dog, cabbaee, turnip, beet, carrot, all the ordin-
ary commonplaces in fact, ard these should be given in
season. It is an excellent plan to give the dog once a week,
a good meal of boiled bollock's liver, with the broth and
vegetables; this will have a natural aperient effect and will
often obviate the necessity for a rloBe of medicine. I may
just remark here that I do not agree with the method of giv-
ing to dngBa^y filthy meat ofiA that comes firBt to hand.
Many of the diseases of cattle, tuberculosis and otherwise, are
apt to be conveyed to the dog through those entrails. (The
same thing, by tbe way occurs by giving "lights" to the
household cat.) It is altogether an orj ctionable unhealthy
method, and it is far better to get some good shin bones with
a little meat adberirg and boil up these into a savoury
broth which can then be made more substantial bv being
thickened with some good hound meal and will make a
really excellent dinner. D^es require to be exercised both
before and after each meal, bef re in order to give them an
appetite which is only felt when the whole circulatory svstem
has been properly aroused into activity; and afterwards be-
cause the mechanical effect of the meal juBt partaken of will
be to induce action of the bowels. But a dog ought not to
be put upon hard work immediately after a meal; he ought
simply to be gently exercised in order to allow the effect re-
ferred to, and then he should be allowed to sleep in order
that the digestive process may set in uodistarbed.

Carefolly avoid the very bad habit of allowing food to lie
about the kennels uneaten. Nothing is more unlikely to spoil
the regularity in living babi's which are as necessary to tbe
health and longevity of the dog as they are to those of man.
When a dog begins to trifle with the food that has been given
to him, that is to say when he begins to turn it over and to
select dainty morsels, take it away — he has had qoite enough.
Never leave anything lviog about. If you do your dog will
never have that wholesome re»dy appetite which is the Bare-
est sign that he is "doing well."

A word or two as to puppies. Puppies of course need to
be fed more frequently than full grown dogB. At first the
mother shou'd have at least four meals a day. consisting of
milk, savory broths and well cooked meat. This will ensure
for her a good supply for milk for her sucklines. Then
when the puppies come f n be weaned they will need frequent
mealF; but these should be regular and tbe time between
them should be gradually lerg'hened as the puppies grow.
There is nothing like getting dogs into working order at an
early ate, in these respects When suckling their habit is to
feed, then sleep. Tbe same tendency will be present when
weanerl; so that one has Lo gauge as nearly as maybe how
mnoh food thev need and how often.

0" course, these hints catmot all be acted upon, but they
snould be as far as possible, and it is surprising how much
trouble may be saved by following out system and regularity
in all such matters. — Fanciers' Review.

Kennel Notes

I must endeavor, in dealing with this aorj'ct, to give a
fair field and no favor to all the firms who make a speciality
of canine provender, aod the only way to ensare that pur-
pose beiog carried out will be to avoid naming any special
foods now before the "Fancy." At the same time let me
say this, that dog owDerB owe a great deal to tbe many firms
of repute who have provided aod do provide most excellent
foods, foods that are qoite fit in many cases for human con-
sumption and, therefore, although I do not specify any
particular hound meals, or dog caBep, as suitable for the pur-
poses about to be ijdicated, I still recommend that one or
other of the good makers be patronized in preference to
making amateur efforts at meal mixing. Tbe experience of
those who are constantly engaged in euch work iB worth pay-
ing a Utile extra, for even if that be demanded, and consid-
ering the very re sooable rates at which good wholesome
dog foods can now be obtained, it does not appear that ex-
perience is charged for.

Opinions vary a great deal as to how often a dog should be
fed during the day. Some say twice, some Bay three times-
whilst others advocate only one meal a day, and some people
feed as cfien as the dog will eat. Now we will dismiss two
of these groups at once, the last two. Dogs have no business
to be fed at all hours of the day, if they are to be kept in

Drying Off Cows.

There is a well founded belief that the cow
who is a persis tent milker does not produce
he best calves. While this is eo, the methcd-
generally employed to overcome this trouble
are far from the beBt. The nsoal plan is tr>
cat off the feed, oftentimes to the point rf
starvation; surely a mc6l unwise move and in
nine caeeB in ten results in ir jury to the cow.
The period of lactation depends more largely
on the system of feeding than farmers ar»
willing to admit, though ancestry muBt be
back of it all, for the most iniellieent feeding
in the world will not make a long milker of s
cow whose ancestors were in the habit of go
ing dry for three or foor months. Naturally,
if the breed is a good one, the desire is to
keep up the period of lactation as long as
possible, and yet have good calves. Particu-
larly is this desirable if the calves are to b»
raised. The best plan for accomplishing this
iB to feed tbe cow the necessary food to keep
up a fair flow of milk and with this food that
will benefit tbe unborn calf. While doing
this keep milkirg the cow uotil Bhe naturally
falls cS in snpply. With a heifer having the
first calf, milking should be kept up as lor g
as possible before tbe next calf is born id
order to establish the long period of lactatioo.
for if tbe heifer cow goes dry early after the
first calf, it will be extremely difficult to carry
her beyoDd that period afterward.

A Prunlrjg Lesson.

In Orchaid and Ranch Dr. Eagland tells
what he knows about pruning fruit trees
Most people believe pruning should be done
while<he trees are dormant. Here is what
the doctor says:

"Now and again the queBtion is asked,
'When is tbe best time to prune, and how
much pruning should be done?' We lay no
claim to superior knowledge, but an experi-
ence of over twenty yea>s in fruit growing
bss given us 6ome tolerably well defined views.
Mind you, we may be wrong in some of our
conclusions. The time for pruning depends
largely upon what we desire to accomplish,
and also upon the age of trees that pass under
tbe knife. Pruning to increase fruitfulness,
to promote the development of fruit buds,
should be done after the tree has begun its
growth in the spring— in April oi May— or
prior to the lime that fruit buds would begin
to form for the next year's crop. Checking
wood development hy rather sharp cutting
back in May has the effect to stimulate the
production of fruit buds. Such iB the view
of Prof. William Saunders, an eminent
authoritv oo American horticulture."

P. O. T. H. B. A. DIRECTORS MEET.

Place and Date of MeetlDg fixed and Program
Arranged— Big Futurity to be Offered.

It looked like old times when the Board of Directors
of the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders' Associa-
tion were called to order on Thursday afternoon of this
week, and it was found that a quorum of enthusiastic
members of the Board were present. Vice-President
Gurnett was in the chair, and Directors F. W. Covey
A. H Cohen, T. J. Crowley, John F. Boyd, R. S. Brown
and A . B. Spreckels were in their seats.

The Chair announced that the meeting was called for
the purpose of electing a director to fill the vacancy in
the Board made by the death of D. E. Knight, and to
make arrangements for the race meeting of the Asso-
ciation and such other business as might come before
the Board. Martin Carter was unanimously elected to
fill the vacancy referred to

Mr. Carter is the owner of the Nutwood Stock Farm
at Irvington, and is one of California's most enthusias-
tic admirers of the American trotter, and his colors are
seen on the circuit every year. He will make a valu-
able member of the Board.

The following resolutions of respect to the memory
of the late acting President of the Association were
adopted and ordered spread on the minutes :

Whebea3. In view of the loss we have sustained by the decease
of oor friend and associate, D. E. Knight, and of the still heavier loss
snstained by those who were nearest and dearest to him, therefore
belt

Resolved, That it is but a just tribute to the memory of the de-
parted to say that in regretting his removal from our midst we mourn
lor one who was, In every way, worthy of our' respect and warmest
regard .

Resolved. That we sincerely condole with the family of the de-
ceased on the dispensation witn which it has pleased Divine Provi-
dence to afflict them, and commend tbem for consolation to Him
who orders all things for the best, and whose mercies to the afflicted
are unbounded.

Resolved. That this heartMt testimonial of our sympathy and
sorrow be forwarded to the family of our departed friend, by the
Secretary ot the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association.

San Francisco, Cala., this the 3d day of May, 190O.

When the question of time and place for holding the
annual meeting came up, Mr. Ira Pierce appeared be-
fore the Board and offered the use of the Santa Ro=a
Stock Farm track, together with all the privileges ex-
cept that of the restaurant and such stalls as he required
for the use of his own horses in training, agreeing to
keep the track in order during the meeting, the Asso-
ciation to pay him $250. On motion the offer ol Mr_
Pierce was accepted, and the meeting will go to Santa
Rosa, the date selected being the first week in July.

It was decided to offer the following list of guaranteed
stakes for the Santa Rosa meeting, mtries to close June
loth, 1900, horses to be named when entered, the en-
trance fee five per cent as usual:

2:40 Class Trotting $ 750

2 :10 Class Pacing 1000

Free for all Pacing 1000

Three Year Old Pacing, 2:30 Class 500

A $6000 FUTURITY STAKE

The Secretary offered the following plan of a futurity
stake to be given by the association, entries to close

September 1st and the Board decided that the stake
should be given

Pacific Breeders Fulurily Slake. $8000 Guaranteed. For
mares bred in 1900 Money to be divided as follows:

$200 to the nominator of the mare that is the dam of
the winner of the two year old pace

$200 for the nominator of the mare that is the dam of
the winner . f the two year old trot.

$200 for the nominator of the mare that is the dam of
the winner of the three year old pace

$200 for the nominator of the mare that is the dam of
the winner of the three year old trot.

$200 for the owner of the sire of the winner of the
three year old trot at the time the mare was bred.

$750 for colts winning money in the two year old pace.

$1000 for colts winning money in the two year old
trot.

$1250 for colta winning money in the three year old
pace.

$2000 for colts winning money in the three year old
trot.

ENTRANCE AND PAYMENTS.

1900- $3 each on mares bred in 1900

1901- $5 each on foals of 1901

1902— $10 each on yearlings.

1903 — $10 each on two year olds. $25 each on starters
in the two year old pace. $35 each on starters in the
two year old trot.

1904— $10 each on three year olds. $35 each on start-
ers in the three year old pace $50 each on starters in
the three year old trot.

Entries in this stake will close on September 1. 1900,
with the payment of $3 each on mares nominated.
Nominators will have the right of substituting another
mare in case the one entered does not prove with foal.

This is the largest -Futurity Stake ever offered on this
Coast. The entrance fee is a small one and every mare
bred to a trotting stallion this year should be entered.
The very fact that the produce is entered in this rich
stake will enhance the value of the colt many times the
cost incurred.

Every stallion owner should use his best efforts to
induce the owners of mares bred to bis stallion to enter
in this stake as the number of representatives that his
stallion has in it will not only serve as a big advertise-
ment for his horse, but should his stallion be fortunate
enough to sire the winner he will not only be repaid for
his trouble by the money premium he receives, but his
stallion will receive a boom that he could not otherwise
get.

The committees necessary to manage the meeting
were appointed and then the Board adjourned after one
of the most enthusiastic meetings held for years- The
outlook for a great meeti g at Santa Rosa is excellent

Three Great Proepecta for Sale.

There are advertised in this issue three prospects for 1900
that are worth looking over. One is a pacer by Diablo ou'
of one of the best bred mares in California, and this pacer
and its dam bave been driven together and are hard to tell
apart. They can show nearly a two minute clip and ate not
in training and have not been. Both are sound and all
right, and have the speed to make winners if raced this year.
The other horse offered is also a pacer and very fast. Here
are some real high prospects and tbey should be in the hands
of some one who can train and race them. The present
owner oannot. Look into this matter. There is a chance to
win in the fastest classes.

THE NORTHERN OIROTJIT.

Good Fields Are Assured In the Early Closing
Events.

While returns for the four early closing events offered
by the associations at Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico
and Woodland will not be in until to-day, it looks aB
though nearly all will fill well and that there will be
large fields in each race when it is called. Up to the
hour of going to press telegrams had been received
from the Secretaries at all but Chico and the show-
ing made at the four places is excellent Had Wood-
land offered a 2:11 or 2:12 class in the place of a
2:13 for the trotters, that race would almost certainly
have filled. The reports from Colusa, Willows, Red
Bluff and Woodland are as follows:

COLUSA.

2:40 Trot, $1000 19 entries

2:25 Trot, $1000 8 entries

2:30 Pace, $1000 12 entries

In our next week's issue we will be able to publish a
full list of all entries received giving names and breed-
ing of horses, names of owners, etc., as far as possible.
Owners and trainers should remember that there are
additional generous purses offered for named horses Of
both the trotting and pacing classes, entries to which
will close June 1st at Colusa and Red Bluff and on July
2d at Willows, Chico and Woodland They all appear
in our advertising columns. We believe they will get a
larger list of entries than those just closed as many
horses have been put in training in California during
the past few weeks with a view of entering them in these

class s .

That eleemosynary institution, the Fabiola Hospital
of Oakland, will receive all the money that is paid for
admission at the Oakland track to-day and the free list
will be positively suspended. Since President Williams
generously offered to give a day to the worthy cause at
the close of the first year's racing at Oakland Fabiola
Day has been an annual occurrence and the smart Bet of

A NEW AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.

Horsea in Training at Pendleton, Oregon.

Red Oloud Sells for $10,000.

Horse Show Aesooiation Changes Its Name
and Will Hold Annual Fairs.

TsDforan Park in San Mateo county is destined to be tbe
location of one of the best annual fairs, horse shows and
harness meetings held in the United States. Negotiations
with this idea in view have been under way for some time
and culminated this week in the Horse Show Association of
the Pacific Coast reorganizing under the name of the San
Francisco and 8an Mateo County Agricultural Association.
The Horse Show Association, it will be remembered, is com-
posed of some of the leading capitalists and citizens of this
State and during the years 1894, 1895 and 1896 held very
successful shows at the Mechanic's Pavilion in this city.
The present Directors of tbe association are as follows: H. J.
Crocker, G. A. Newhall, M. Casey, W. E. Chapman, George
Pope, J. B. Crockett, San Francisco; John Parrott, Walter
Hobart, Joseph Grant, 8an Mateo; 8. F. Boyd, San Kafael
J. L. Rathbone, Menlo Park.

Among the stock holders are the following well known
gentlemen: M. Theo Kearney of Fresno county, W. 8.
Tevis of Kern county, F. 8. Hicks of Los Angeles, C. C.
Hastings of Pasadena, J. F. Boyd of San ftafael, W. Mayo;
Newhall, James D Phelan, C. de Guigne, C. A Spreckels,
Peter J. Donohue, P. E. Bowles, H. E. Huntington, D. O.
Mills, E. W. Hopkins, Timothy Hopkins, William Babcock,
Fred R. Webster, Russell J. Wilson, J. Downey Harvey, J.
O'Kane, J. C. Johnson & Co., Main & Winchester, J. A. Mc-
Kerron, W. R. Whittier, Robert F. Morrow, W. C. Van
Fleet, A. Borel, Louis Sloss, Jr., Richard D. Fry.

The Tanforan people have for some time entertained the
idea that an annual stock show combined with a horse
show, would not only be of great benefit to the stock breed-
ers of the State, but be popular with the people and prove a
great attraction for the association. The South San Fran-
cisco Land Company also became interested in the proiect
and finally a proposition was made to the Horee Association
which it has accepted. The Land company has therefore
donated to the San Francisco and San Mateo County Agri-
cultural Society a tract of land worth $8750, and agreed to
sell fifteen acres more at a nominal price providing the asso-
ciation erects buildings on the land within two years. This
land is to be used for a pavilion and exhibitions of farm,
field and factory products. It is immediately adjoining the
Tanforan Park, and can be reached by the Southern Pacific
Railroad and the San Mateo electric line, or by water trans-
portation from all points on San Francisco bay.

The new association will give this year some time in Sep-
tember, a grand horse show, and in connection with it wil]
hold an exhibition of cattle, livestock of all kind and poultry
besides a general agricultural display. In addition to all
these there will be a splendid program of harness racing, for
which generous purses with tbe idea of securing an entry list
of the best horses on the Pacific Coast. The association will
secure for this purpose Tanforan track and grandstand and
the races will be held in the afternoon of each day.

It will be a source of gratification to the breeders of live
stock as well as horse owners and all interested in any way
in the proposed fair to know that the new organization have
secured the services of Mr. Edwin F. Smith, former Secre-
tary of the California State Agricultural 8ociety and have
elected him manager of the association. There is probably
no man on this western slope that could bring to the position
tbe fund of experience with and knowledge of successful ex-
hibits of this kind, that is possessed by Mr. Smith. He
understands the business from beginning to end and has
wonderful executive ability in the management of just such
an exhibition as the San Francisco and San Mateo County
Agricultural Association proposes to hold. At a meeting
held last Tuesday Mr. Smith submitted sample catalogues
and prize lists offered by the leading fairs, harness meetings
and horse shows in the East, and was authorized to arrange
and issue as soon as possible a premium and prize list for the
coming exhibition which will take place some time in Sep-
tember. At least $20,000 will be hung up in prizes, purses
and premiums and that a very large entry list will be secured
in all departments is certain. The following committees
were appointed :

Committee on Horse Show — John Parrott, J. D. Grant
Edwin Smith.

Committee on Live Stock — W. H. Martin, G. A. Newhall,
W. 8. Hobart, Edwin Smith.

Committee on Trotting Exhibits — J. F. Boyd, J. Kirk-
prtrick, J. L. Rathbone.

Committee on Poultry Exhibits — M. Casey, George Pope,
W. H. Martin.

Sonoma and Marin Fair Directors.

Governor Gage has appointed as additional directors for
the Sonoma-Marin District Fair Association, the following:
J. B. Wattles of Healdeburg, to succeed himself; Fred A.
Wickersham of Petaluma in tbe place of H. Meacham who
failed to qualify, t»nd J. H. Pryor of Sausalito, editor of the
Js&wb of that place. These with T. P. Keegao, Frank
Mother, W. J. Eardley and John P. Overton, all of Santa
Losa, constitute the Board of Directors for the district.

[Portland Karal Press.]

Cris Simpson, who is spending a few days in Portland
attending Uncle Sam's court, saya there is quite a number of
horses being conditioned at Pendleton this spring. Starkey,
Jas. Erwin's fast pacer that met with an accident a few days
ago, is still laid up for repairs, but he is improving fast and
will be on deck in a short time.

The horses at Pendleton have wintered well, but most of
them at the present time are Buffering with a slight cold.

Mr. Simpson says Pendleton is the Pleasanton of Oregon"
and be is satisfied that horsts can be conditioned as well there
during the winter months as any place on the Pacific Coast,
and it will only be a question of time when Pendleton will
be tbe horse center of the Northwest. Mr. Simpson is
working this spring Bonner N. B. 2:17, Alta Morte (p)
SfclS}, Phil N. 2:29£, by Bonner N. B., Doc Wright, green
pacer, full brother to Alta Norte, MacMac, green trotter by
McKinney, out of the dam of Bonner N. B., 8antiam, green
pacer, by Caution, dam by Jerome Eddy 2:16.

George Perioger has in his stable the good green pacer
Pathmark by Pathmont 2:09£. This fellow has wintered
well and will do to watch this season whenever and wherever
he is turned loose.

Another goed one in Mr. Peringer's stable is Phillipino, a
two year old, full sister to TJmaholis. She can show a 2:20
gait now to a heavy cart. Kinney Mc by McKinney, out o*
a Gossiper mare is also a promising two year old trotter.

James Erwin bas Starkey 2:15?, John Edison 2:29}
Daniel J., a green pacer by Chehalis; Sister White by Che-
halie; a two year old Morgan stud owned by H. Boylen is
very promising. He also has a yearling by Bonner N. B,
that is a cracker jack.

Frank Frazier has his pacer TJmaholis 2:17f , Westfield Jr.,
a green pacer by WeBtfield, and "W. H. Fowler's pacer by
Altamont. Frszier's horses are all working well and will
likely be raced this ytar.

Searchlight Sold Again.

"I've sold 8earchlight," said Mr. J. H. Bronson, when I

called at his store on Saturday of last week. Continuing he
said: "The pacer has been purchased by a party of gentle-
men and shipped to Charter Oak Park. Knap McCarthy
will drive him. I understand the horse is not to have a stud
season, but is to be trained for races. He's a great horse and
McCarthy is a great driver."

"How many owners are in the syndicate?" said I.

"Four," said Mr. Bronson.

" What information Bhall I give the public regarding
price?" asked the writer.

"Let them guess," said the gentleman.

"Will you state that you received more than yon paid for
the stallion?" I aBked.

"The price was satisfactory. If it hadn't been I wouldn't
have sold him," was the reply. "I've disposed of him and
I'm out of the horse businesB," said he.

Searchlight 2:03} (public trial 2:02) has been Mr. Bronson's
favorite since the purchase last July. He had owned the
money winner Inta 2:20£, Pearl Onward 2:06£, Sphiuxetta
2:08£, Dan Q. 2:07£, Robert W. 2:20, Maximilian 2:10*.
Laurel's (3) 2:15J, Money Maker, Bride Elect, Paddock and
several others, but none of them have filled his eye like
Searchlight. I have had conversation with friend Bronson
regarding all of his horses, but have never heard him refer to
any of them with as much interest and enthusiasm as he
manifested when speaking of his fastest stallion recently sold.

I presume it was on account of his admiration for the
horse that be invited a dozen of his gentleman friends to
meet at his residence one evening last December, when the
expensive entertainment which he furnished was provided,
as he stated, in honor of Searchlight, and was very properly
called "a Searchlight supper." After the banquet, the
history and prospects of the pacer were diecussed in an able
manner. — Centaur in Boston Ploughman.

Again the price paid for a carriage horse has been raised.
In New York on the 22d of April Mr. Thomas Lawson of
Boston, paid $10,000 for Red Cloud, a grandson of Harrison
Chief. Red Cloud won the championship prize at the last
National Horse Show and is certainly one of the grandest
looking horses ever hitched to a vehicle. He is a bright
bay and stands 15 3 hands and was bought by Mr. Lawson
for show purposes as he will exhibit him at all the leading
horse shows this summer. A picture of Red Cloud appeared
on the front page of the Breeder and Sportsman in the
issue of March 10th this year. Red Cloud was bred by John
B. Wilson, near Sharpsburg, Ky. Wilson owned his sire, a
handsome chestnut horse called King, that could trot in
about 2:60. King was by Harrison Chief, a son of Clark
Chief, and Mb dam was by George Wale's old pacing horse
Yellow Jacket, the sire of Thomas L. Young 2:laJ. Red
Cloud got his name from the sire of his dam. That horse
was called Red Cloud, and was by Noa Dill's Indian Chief,
the sire of the great show mare Lady de Jarnett 2:28. Old
Red Cloud wbb owned by John B. Wilson, the breeder of
Mr. Lawson's horse. Wilson sold young Red Cloud to
Marsh Fleming of Frankfort when a colt, and Fleming sold
him to Harry Stroud of Minerva, Ky., who keep him in the
stud there at a fee of $10 or $15. Stroud took him around to
the fairs and won several prizes with him as a light harness
roadster. The horse had a long tail then and was simply a
country stud horse. They never heard of such a thing as a
high stepping park horse down there among the farmers in
Mason county. Stroul sold Red Cloud for $450 to Frank
Mitchell, a horse dealei in West Philadelphia. Mr. Elkins
paid Mitchell only a small sum for tbe horse, as be bought
him in the rough. Bob Dan, the foreman of Mr. Elkin's
stable, docked Red Cloud and trained and fitted him for the
heavy harness business.

Telling Age by the Teeth.

The horse has twenty-four temporary teeth. The male
has forty permanent teeth; the male thirty-six or forty. Tbe
smaller number 1b more usual in females, due to the lack of
tusks. The temporary teeth consist of twelve incisors and
twelve molars; their center front teeth, two above and two be-
low,are called pinchers; the next four are called intermediate
or lateral, and the next four corner teeth. The permanent
teeth consist of twelve incisors, four tusks and twenty-four
molars. The dental star is a yellowish ring appearing next
the enamel on the table or crown of the tooth. The follow-
ing table shows approximately the changes of the teeth
with age :

Three to 10 days : Temporary pinchers and three molars cut.

Forty to 60 days: Temporary intermediate or laterals cut.

Six to 9 months: Temporary corner teeth cut.

Nineteen to 25 months: Leveling of temporary corner
teeth.

Two and one- half to 3 years: Pinchers replaced by per-
manent teeth.

Anthrax and Its Prevention.

'2:11 Class Would Make a Good Race.

A good big purse hung up for trotters of the 2:11 class in
Catifornia this year will not only draw a large list of entries,
but will furnish a race thBt will be the big card of the meet-
ing in the harness racing portion of the program. Among
the horses now in training in this State and which would in
nearly every instance be entered in a good purse for 2:11
trotters are Zombro 2:11, Neeretta 2:11 J, Addison 2:11^,
Stam B. 2:111, Iora 2:11J, Aster 2:12, Prince Gift 2:12,
Phoebe Childers 2:12, Neernut 2:12£, Iran Alto 2:12J, Dr.
Frasse 2:12*, Hazel Kinney 2:12*, Clay 8. 2:13|, Dr.
Book 2:13J, Miss Jessie 2:14, <Jeo. M. McKinney 2:14J
and several others with slower records that might come
in. The only horse in this list that would be kept out should
the class be made 2:12 would be Zombro 2:11 and it wonld be
unfair to bar him from this class of horses. We believe that
a purse of $1000 or $1500 for the 2:11 class would have at
least eight starters and be one of the greatest betting races
that could be placed on Ithe program, and would draw a big
crowd to see tbe contest.

L. 8. Lindsay is building a race track at Spokane and is
trying to stir the people up to giving a meeting in July.

As the season advances Btockowners in Anthrax infected
districts must expect to lose a percentage of their livestock
unless they protect the same by vaccination. In fact the
only sure and reliable method of protection to employ is
vaccination with Pasteur Anthrax Vaccine, a short history
fo which may be in order at the present time.

Anthrax, also known as Charbon, Milzbrand, etc. is the
most dreaded and fatal scourge of livestock, and occurs in
almost all parts of the world, bringing death to the livestock
and frequently bankruptcy to tbe owners. In Europe the
mortality prior to 1881 ranged from 7 per cent to 60 per
cent, the pecuniary losses it was responsible for annually
amounting to many millions of dollars. In 1881 M. Pasteur,
whose name and achievements stand on '.he top of the roll of
fame, is one of the most learned scientists of our time, dis-
covered the vaccine for Anthrax which protects livestock
against Anthrax in the same way that the vaccine of small-
pox protects human beings against that disease. It was not
until 1884, however, that Pasteur's Anthrax Vaccine was
made a commercial commodity and came into general use in
Europe. It has been estimated by impartial observers that
the use of Pasteur's Anthrax Vaccine has reduced the annual
mortality from this plagae to less than 1 per cent in infected
districts, where formerly the percentage was often as high as
60 per cent. The saving to the stock interests of the differ-
ent countries effected by this method can hardly be estimated
or even stated. Anthrax occurs in certain parts of the
United States, including California. Anthrax vaccination
was made practicable in the United States by the introduction
of the original Pasteur Anthrax Vaccine by the PaBteur
Vaccine Company in 1895. Prior to this, stockraieera in
infected localities annually suffered large losses from this
dread and incurable disease Since 1895, however, this
rarely occurs, owners of stock in infected districts having
learned to appreciate the value of prevention by Pasteur
Anthrax Vaccine and are availing themselves of it accord-
ingly. To M. Pasteur belongs the honor of this valuable
scientific discovery, and to the Pasteur Vaccine Company of
Chicago is due tbe credit for the introduction into North
America of this preventive treatment which is annually
saving hundreds of thousands of dollars to the American
stock raisers. Last year, the Pasteur Vaccine Company
opened a Branch Office at 219 Examiner Building, San
Francisco, California.

Harness horses are increasing in value every day.

A carriage horee brought $10,000 in New York last
month,

Peter the Great 2:07J, will not go into active training
nntil Jane 1st.

Lists of entries in Northern Circuit races will be pub-
lished next week.

George Starr haB now twenty-seven head of horses in
his stable at Terre Haute.

G. 8. Langan, of Haywards, has sold his brown mare by
Director 2.17, dam a mare by James Lick to L. C. Crellio,
of Fleasanton, v. ho bao another daughter of Director that
mates her well. The price paid Mr. Langan, we understand,
was $550. The two mares make an elegant pair and are
grand roadsters.

According to the last Year Book there were 1058 differ-
ent trotting and paciDg meetings held last year at 87J differ-
ent cities and Iowds. The total number of new performers
for the year was 883 trotters and 847 pacers. There were
close to 1450 horses raced which did not take standard
records, but yet were marked.

Woodshed 2:09t has been behind the money only nine
times in ninety-five races.

Flare Up 2:14, the mare by Chas. Derby which was sold
East some time ago, has been bred to Joe Patchen.

James Dwain has the speedy pacing stallion Guidon'
owned by Mrs. W. J. Hill, in his string at Salinas.

Dave McClart states that Eubinstein 2:05 has been
added to his string. He says Searchlight is in grand condi-
tion.

The Board of Review of the National Trotting Asso-
ciation will meet at the Palmer House, Chicago, next Thurs-
day, May 8th.

Patchen Boy 2:10J by Wilkes Boy is pat on the list o
horses that will pace below 2:05 this year by such good judge8
as Andy McDowell.

Uncle Jock Bowen. the New England veteran, cele
brated his seventy-third birthday April 10. He is still good
for years of service in the sulky.

Bellewood A. 2:07}, recently paced a quarter for Al
Thomas in 31 seconds, and he thinks she can step the dis-
tance any time in 29 seconds.

The 134 mares at Palo Alto will thiB year be bred to
Altivo 2:18}, Azmoor 2:20£, Mendocino 2:19}, Nazote,brother
to Azote 2:04f t Stephen by Advertiser, and Wildnut.

I Direct worked another fast mile at Pleasanton last
Saturday. He made the circuit of the track in 2:101 and did
it very nicely. He ought to reduce his record this year.

The 143 entries to the Columbus purses are divided as
follows: 2:22 class pacing. 30; 2:24 and 2:17 classes trotting,
27 each; 2:16 class pacing, 25; 2:12 class trotting, 23; 2:10
class pacing, 16.

The first colt by the $10,000 Village Farm colt, Direct
Hal, has been foaled in Tennessee. Chaffin Bros, are the
fortunate owners, and the dam is that great little race mare
Ella Brown 2:11* by Prince Pulaski.

MABfysviLLE will give $4500 in purses for harness horses
at its meeting which will be held from August 21st to 25th.
The purses are $500 and $400 and should draw all the horses
that race on the northern circuit this year.

C. J. Hamlin says The Abbott will be given as fast a
record as possible this year. If he stays sound the son of
Chimes and Nettie King is pretty certain to join Alix,
Nancy Hanks and Azote as a member of the 2:05 list.

Orbin Hickok is in the harness again, having arrived at
Lexington this week whereihe will irain a few for the cam-
paign. Put it down now that one of the fastest trotters he
ever drove is he four year old filly Sarah Maddern by
Axtell.

Vallejo should have a big list of entries for its purses
that close June 1st. It is on the main circuit, within easy
shipment from all points and has a good track and accommo-
dations. One of the best meetings on the circuit will be at
Vallejo,

G. Wempe will be out again this year with his Director
mare Belle W. 2:16. She has raised a foal by McKinney
since getting her record in 1898 and is in fine shape now to
reduce her record. She will probably start first at Woodland
but may be entered at Santa Rosa.

Portland, Oregon, will have a race meeting during the
first week in July. Messrs. Roberts & Williams, the new
lessees of the Irvington Park, track have announced a five
days' mixed meeting to begin July 3d. The program will
be arranged to suit the local horses.

One of the handsomest spans of carriage horses in Call"
fornia are a pair of blacks, 16 hands high, by Boodle 2:12}
owned by Hon. J. D. Carr of Salinas. Mr. Carr is so proud
of his team that he has sent their dams Surprise and Unique
to San Jose to be again bred to Boodle.

Nearly all of the fast harness horses that race in England
are pacers, and two of the leading performers for the past
five were bred by C. F. Emery at Forest City Farm, Savo-
yard by Saboya 2:19*, son of Nuggett, and Nannetti, by
Brown Wilkes, dam by Nuggett. — American Sportsman.

The Riverside Fail and Driving Association, under whose
auspices the very successful race meet was held during the
recent street fair week, announces another race meeting for
May 30. A fine program of events will be provided, in
which several Los Angeles horses are expected to participate.

Bet Madison, the speedy mare of Mrs. Severance of Los
Angeles, that took a two year old record of 2:30, has been
put in training again at the Los Angeles race track. She
weaned a fine colt by Chas. Derby last December and has
only been jogged and worked slowly until two weeks ago.
On April 24th she was asked to step a little and went three
miles, the second in 2:22, the third in 2:20, and did it very
easily. She will make Gome of them step to beat her if
nothing happens.

The green trotters Silver Bow Jr., by Silver Bow. owned
by 1. Morehouse of Montana, and McBriar by McKinney,
owned by L. Zimmerman of Portland. Oregon, are in J. W.
Donathan's hands at Oakland and have been entered all
through the Northern California Circuit. Both are good
prospects in the 2:25 and 2:40 classes.

H. 8. Crot, of Canton, 0., will train the fast pacer Sporl,
by 8idmont, and fit him especially for the Chamber of Com-
merce Stake at Detroit. 8port showed a trial last year in
2:16, in his three year old form. Sidmont, his eire, was bred
by Count Valensin, has a three year old record of 2:10*, and
is owned by Phillips Bros., Delavan, Wis.

A. E. Perren, of Buffalo, N. Y., last month visited
Claireview Farm, Claireview, Mich., and purchased the
chestnut mare 8iva 2:13$, by Guy Wilkes, for road use as a
pole-mate with his other recent purchase, Zembia 2:11J.
Siva will be remembered as winner of the M. & M. at De-
troit, in 1893, in which race she took her record.

Shire geldings are high in England — indeed the same
maybe said of all classes of good horses. At a sale by auc-
tion recently held at Wrexham a three year old Shire geld-
ing made $750 two non-pedigreed mares $500 each, upwards
of forty good big workers over $450 each and $350 wbb a
common price for anything that was big enough and sound.

Millard 8andeb8 went East this week with his consign-
ment of horses to the Cleveland sale. The car waB attached
to an express train and should arrive in Cleveland by the
7th or 8th of the month. T. E. Kealiog shipped Anaconda
2:03J and Klatawah 2:05J, in the car with the 8aunders
horses. John Blue was in charge of the two great pacers.

C. W. Williams is at work collecting broodmares. He
recently bought Rosa Jane Wilkes by Chimes out of Rosa
Wilkes by George Wilkes, grandam Black Jane by Mam-
brino Patchen. As Rosa Wilkes had a mark of 2:18J and
was full sister to the great sire 8imraons 2:28, the blood com-
bination is of the made-to-order variety. Mr. Williams has
now eighteen mares, all lately acquired.

A fortnight ago W. J. McBrayer, Hamilton, Mo., had
seven carloads of horses, or 146 head in all, on the market at
National Stock Yards, III., in one week. The collection in-
cludes drafters that sold up to $195; farm chunks to $125;
medium drivers up to $165; a pair of export chunks, smart,
shapely good ones, at $355, and a fine coach gelding, 16
hands, at $500 — all at auction and most sold to go abroad. —
Chicago Breeders Gazette.

gG. A. Kelly, of Dayton, Wasb., has gone East with his
stable of trotters and pacers, including Anzella 2:17},
Annigita (p) 2:22 and several good green ones. Mr. Kelly
will race on the Western circuit this year. Tbos. Ronan, of
same place, went with Mr. Kelly and took a carload of road-
sters for sale from his Merideth Place. Mr. Ronan has some
high bred horses and should receive good prices for them in
the Eastern market. — Portland Rural Spirit.

The Multanomah Driving Association of Portland, Oregon
held its annual meeting April 21st and elected the following
officers: H. C. Breeden, President; Paul Wessinger, Vice-
President; Gus Rosenblatt, Secretary and Treasurer; W. W.
Baker, corresponding Secretary; Messrs. F. A. Spencer, F.
W. Baltes, Ellis McLean, Marion Wilcox, A. H. Tanner
and R. Everding were chosen as the executive committee.
The association decided on fixing up the White House road
for driving purposes.

United States Consul Winslow at Liege, Belgium,
calls the attention of the S'ate Department at Washington
to the fact that American colts of various ages may be sold
to great advantage in the country to which he is accredited.
Liege is one of the chief horee markets of Belgium and
prices set there govern all over the tributary territory. The
prices he names are tor colts five to six months old, $60 to
$100; eighteen months old, $140 to $180; matured geldipgs
for heavy work, $200 to $350.

"Creston" is the name claimed by T. S. Montgomery, of
8an Jose, for a bay colt sired by Nutwood Wilkes 2:16} (aire
of Who Is It 2:10}, and John A. McKerron 2:12A) dam
Merle M. 2:25 by Boodle 2:12} (sire of Ethel Dowas"2:10);
second dam, Kitty Seymour, by Junio 2:22, (sire of Atbanio
2:10); third dam Kitty Simmons, by Lodi; fourth dam by
Owen Dale. This colt "can't do a thing" but pace, and
although only three weeks old, like al* the colts sired by
Nutwood Wilkes, can show a gait that seems incredible. He
is well entered in the rich Eastern Futurity Stakes.

Anaconda last Saturday paced the fastest mile that has
been paced in the United States this year over the Pleasan-
ton track. He was driven by John Blue and was not asked
to do his best at any part of the mile. He went to the half
in 1:07, a jog for him, and came home in one minute flat.
*'I don't see how they can beat him this year,*' was the re-
mark made by several after Anaconda bad finished the
workout, and it does look as though he will surely reach the
two minute mark thiB year if he stays right. He never
looked in finer shape and never felt better.

Mr. A. B. GwATHMEY,of the New York Cotton Exchange
and ex-President of the Road Drivers Club of that city, has
been booming our California horeea since hi* return home
from his trip to this State. Nearly all of our New YorK ex-
changes have contained interviews with him in which he
speaks words of praise for California and its climate, sb well
as our people and their horses. In all hie references to
Toggles 2:09}, he states that in his opinion this son of Slrtth-
way could show bis heels to anything on the New York
speedway. Mr. Gwatbmey'e great mare Louise Mac 2:09J,
he found in fine Bhape when he reached home and he will
soon be eDJoying some fast rides behind her.

There was comparatively little breeding done in trotting
horse circles during 1898, so that the crop of 1899 foals was
naturally a small one. For this reason, if for no other, the
owners of the foals for that year should not allow the oppor-
tunity to escape of having as many entries in the Stanford
Stakes for 1902 as possible. This will undoubtedly be a rich
stake and those who are so fortunate as to have colts or fillies
to enter, should see that the date of closing (May 15, 1900)
does not pass without having the entries made and mailed.
It costs but $5 to make a nomination, and the entire entrance
fee is only $50, made in easy payments Ktad the condi-
tions of the stake in our advertising columns.

Thr citizens of Pleasanton have been trying for some time
to arrange for a harness meeting to be given over the histori-
cal track there. The fact that the track is unfenced and
there is no grandstand for spectators places quite a stumbling
block in the way of a meeting being held, and recently the
managers of the track association have been importuned to
put up these necessary improvements. The citizens Bub-
scribed $1000 toward holding a Breeders meeting but Presi-
dent Anderson thought the expenses of fitting np the track
wonld be too great, so the proposed meeting is erf. This is
unfortunate as a race meeting cf three or four days at
Pleasanton would draw big crowds and pay well.

There is a horse 32 years old owned by C. N. Snider of
Lakeview, Oregon, that is still in actual service. He was
foaled in April, 1868, and was sired by a horse called Lion
Heart. He is used as a family horse and is both ridden and
driven almost daily. A photo-engraving of him published
in the North Pacific Farmer and Stockman, shows him
to be a remarkably well preserved animal and there is
little of the appearance of old age about him. He was
never Bick or lame in his life and is a horee of unusual in-
telligence. No whip was ever used on him, and he can trot
a three minute gait now. Mr. Snider sees that he wants for
nothing and believes that he is good for ten years more.

The Pleasanton Training Track Association has done a
wise thing in making William Murray, owner of Diablo,
superintendent of the track. Now that a thoroughly practi-
cal, as well as a popular person has been selected to look
after the interests of the association and the welfare of the
horsemen located there, Pleasanton will be a greater horee
centre than ever and we would not be at all suprised if more
stall room would be required by the time the circuit closes in
the fall. One of the first things Superintendent Murray
suggested was a new water wagon, which has been furnished
and the track is in perfect order for fast work, while it is
not hard and does not sore the horses. The citizens of
Pleasanton ought not to allow the summer of 1900 to pass
without a race meeting of at least three days at the track.

The old stallion Artemas 1793, one of the last eons of
Hambletonian 10, died at Columbus, Ind , the first day of
the present month. Artemas was thirty years old, having
being foaled at Chester, N. Y., in 1870, the properly of
William Kyedyk. He was a bay horse by Hambletonian 10,
dam Dolly Mills (dam of Orange Girl 2:20, etc,) by Ameri-
can Star 14. Though a horse that never arrived at any
great distinction, he was fairly successful in the stud and
sired twelve trotters and seven pacers with standard records,
among them the trotter Blanalco 2:19A and the pacers Pine-
wood 2:1H, Eyelight2:14J, George W. Lederer 2:18|, Handy
B 2:19 and others. Six of his sons sired standard speed,
and four of his daughters were producers. His death re-
moves another son of the very few of the old horee that we
have left.

The horses Bold at the Tichenor sale in New York last
month averaged over $700 each for 100 head. This is a re-
flex of existing market conditions in New York and it is
probable that the spring average will be totally eclipsed at
the fall sales. Good horses are scarce and work horses are
selling for twice the amount they could have been bought for
last fall. This rise in values has been superinduced by the
fact that the British Government had closed a contract with
Fiss, Doerr & Carroll and others to purchase 30,000 to 35,000
hordes for cavalry regiments and artillery service in South
Africa. The money involved is several million dollars, and
is the largest single order of the kind ever placed in this
country. The purchases will be made in Chicago, Louisville
and Buffalo, and the animals must conform practically to the
United States Army's strict requirement in size, breed and
soundness. Buffalo will be the chief point of inspection by
the British agent, and New York the shipping port.

Mike Bowermak, of Lexington, has been talking to a
newspaper man, and among other things which he said, was
the following: "Tbe Speedway in New York is the canse for
much of the demand of roadsters. I have letters from eeven
gentlemen in New York, all of whom want identically the
same thing — a horse that can beat Cobwebs on the Speedway.
Nathan Straus seems to have the title 'King of tbe Speed-
way' safe for Cobwebs, for a time at least. I don't know of
a horee anywhere that under rein by a non-professional
driver can beat Cobwebs with Mr. Straus handling the
ribbons. I've heard many horsemen contend that The
Abbot in Hamlin's Blring np at Village Farm can trim Cob-
webs on the Speedway. I agree with them that he might do
it with Ed Geere in the wagon, but I do not believe an
amateur could turn the trick with him. But it is out of the
question to talk about sending such useful horses as The
Abbot to the Speedway. They are needed on the racecourse."

There is every chance that the grandly bred, fast, bnt un-
lucky stallion Dictatus 2:191, will reduce his record this year.
Clarence Day, his owner, was up from Salinas this week and
tells as that be has entered tbe son of Red Wilkes all through
the northern circuit in tbe 2:20 class and thinks he ought to
win a part of the money anyway. For tbe first time since
be was first raced, Dictatus is going sound and has all tbe
speed he ever possessed. Mr. Day is working him on a plan
of his own and is getting excellent results bo far. Dictatus
is still in tbe stud and has been bred to qnite a large number
of mare?. He gets one workout a week and is jogged from
six to twenty miles the other days. The fastest mile he has
been is 2:17 j, which be paced laet Salnrday. In bis workout,
which is one single mile, Clarence allows him to go to the
half as he pleases, shakes him up a little for the next quarter
and then drives him to the wire. Last Saturday Dictatus
paced the last half of tbe mile in 1:06$ and the next quarter
in 30} seconds. He is not pulling like he used to and if he
acts well when be meets company he ought surely to pace in
2:12 or better before the summer is over.

FIRST ■WEEK IN JULY SELECTED BY
THE BREEDERS ASSOCIATION.

"The Glorious Fourth" will be a great day in the
beautiful little city of Santa Eosa this year. The citi-
zens are now making arrangements for one of the grand-
est celebrations of the nation's birthday ever held out-
side the metropolis of the State, and on Thursday last
the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association
met and selected the first week in July and Santa Eosa
Stock Farm's track as the place ^for holding their big
meeting of 1900. This alone would have taken a big
crowd to the city of roses during the holiday week, but
with a grand celebration on the Fourth to attract to the
county seat of Sonoma the greater part of the inhabi-
tants of the county, there is certain to be such a con-
gregation of people as Santa Eosa has never before seen

There never has been a time when the progressive
citizens of the place took deeper interest in making a
holiday celebration a grand success than on this occas.
ion, and with a generosity that has become proverbia _
when Santa Eosa is mentioned they have made the
Breeders Association a most liberal inducement to hold
their meeting there during the week, and Mr. Ira
Pierce, not to be outdone, has tendered the use of the
magnificent track owned by the Santa Eosa Stock Farm
at a figure which but covers the expense he will be put
to in keeping the track in order during the week.

The track, which was recently covered with a coating
of new earth, is asserted by those who are now working
horses there to be the very best track they ever drove
over. Mr. P. L. Quinn, who has driven over most of
the tracks in California, says he never saw such a track
as the Santa Eosa Farm course now is. The horses
make scarcely a sound with their hoofs (in going over it
at a 2:10 clip, and the prints of the shoes show that
there is not a place on the track where the slighest
breakaway or cupping results no matter how fast the
horses are worked.

The P. C. T. H. B. A. have offered a splendid pro-
gram for the week, everything will be done to accomo-
date the horsemen, and those who are notatSanta^Eosa
during the first week in July will miss one of the great-
est harness meetings ever held in the State of California

The San Francisco and San Mateo Agricultural Asso-
ciation was organized to promote in general the live
stock interests of California. The great need for a dis-
tinct organization of this character to foster and aid this
interest has been most apparent to all. The purposes of
thiB Association are to cater to the wants of both breed-
ers and purchasers, with a view of increasing the pro-
duction of improved live stock, to supply the great de-
mand of both domestic and foreign buyers for the infus-
ion of new blood so necessary in keeping up the standard
of quality in stock of all kinds. At the same time they
hope to so stimulate the interest as to warrant the in-
vestment in both land and improvements in the produc-
t.iod of high class animals that are now, and will be for
some time in demand. Their aim will be to establish a
market near the money center of the State where pur-
chasers from the Pacific Islands, Southern and Oriental
countries, as well as the Pacific Coast states may congre-
gate at a stated time during the year, and view in com-
parison the products of our breeding farms. It is chiefly
for this purpose that organization was affected, and it is
an assured fact that racing will not be the chief feature
of the exhibition, and will be confined to harness con-
tests, as an incidental attraction more than a profit.
One of the principal aims will be the improvement of
the harness horse in all its spheres, such as carriage
coach, high-stepper, family, delivery, road and track
horses, as well as saddle horses and ponies. The ad-
vancement in breeding of high class beef and dairy stock
also swine, sheep and poultry will come within its care.

The grounds of the association will be located in
South San Francisco within thirty minutes' iide by rail
from the city of San Francisco, and the intention is to
follow plans already prepared for stock accommodations
of a most complete character. Clean and airy buildings
will be erected before another season, wherein the most
daintily dressed lady may promenade and view all
classes of stock without danger of soiling apparel.
Graveled walks and asphalt floored stables will be pro-
vided and so arranged that all stock may be visited with
the total absence of dust, dirt or any other objectionable
features bo common to usual shows of this character.
The dairy interest will receive marked attention in the
way of establishing a separate and" well arranged build-
ing for dairy tests, where prospective purchasers may
view the practical milk tests of the various breeds of
stock, and at the same time serve as a school for begin-
ners in the dairy business, wherein will be shown the
proper method for ascertaining the quality of milking
herds.

The swine and poultry interests are of paramount
importance to the people of this State; not only is the
farmer interested but the business man as well, as the
preparation of food meats at home gives additional
opportunity for investment and employment. There is
a larger field for encouragement of these two industries
than any other resource we have, This fact is more
forcibly brought to notice when one realizes the enor-
mous tonnage of these products that are being daily
imported into California from States of the Middle
West; carload after carload of live poultry are at the
present time being brought here to supply the demand
for this high class food meat.

The same can be said with reference to hams and
bacon. This condition shows the necessity for stimula-
ting home production of the commodities.

The province of organized bodies of the kind pro-
posed is to make plain the defects in our productive re-
sources, likewise point out opportunities for investment.

Annual exhibitions properly managed are the means
to this end, and have a very stimulating effect upon
such of our live stock resources that, are in a measure
dormant. It is hf re the visitor becomes interested; this
interest creates inquiry into methods of breeding and
marketing, and often serves as an inducement to invest-
ment, and the consequent extension of the interest. It
iB in this capacity the association proposes to act. Its
promoters warrant this announcement. The following
list embraces stockholders, directory and officers of the
Association:

Stockholders — M. Theodore Kearney, of Fresno; W.
S. Tevis of Kern, F. S. Hicks of Lob Angeles, C. O.
Hastings of Pasadena, J. F. Boyd of San Eafael, C. de
Guigne, H. E. Huntington, E. F. Morrow, Louis Sloss,
Jr., Jas. D. Phelan, D. O. Mills, Timothy Hopkins,
Eussell J. Wilson, C. A. Spreckels, J. Downey Harvey
and William Babcock of San Francisco.

Directory — Henry J. Crocker, Maurice Casey, George
A. Pope, George Aimer Newhali, W. B. Chapman, J. B.
Crockett, of San Francisco; John Parrott, Joseph D.
Grant, Walter S. Hobart of San Mateo County; John F.
Boyd of San Eafael and Major J. L. Eathbone represent-
ing Menlo Park.

The officers of the association are H. J. Crocker, Preai-
dent;G. A. Newhali, Secretary; Edwin F. Smith, Cor-
responding Secretary and General Manager.

Denver's Meeting will open June 9th, and there
will be thirteen days of racing, two trotting or pacing,
and three running events being on the program each
day. The purses for the harness horses are $500 each,
and there will be an opportunity for owners to win good
money at Denver this year. Every stable that goes
east should stop at the Overland Park track. Every at-
tention will be shown horsemen from the Coast. See the
advertisement in this issue.

ONE OF THE FAVOEITES in the Metropolitan
Handicap to be run at Morris Park to-day ia the three
year old colt Kilmarnock by Sir Dixon — Missuaed.
Last Thursday W. C. Whitney paid John Madden
$30,000 for the colt.

Fresno Horse Items.

The well known trainers C. E. Clark and J. E Albertson
have leased the race track at Fresno and are working their
horses over it, getting them in readiness for the campaign.

Mr. Clark has bix in hie string at present, among them
the black stallion El Moio 2:17, by Loogworth, that won
nearly a thousand dollars last year without winning a race.
El Moro is trotting as though he would reduce his record
this aeason. Chloe, a mare by Connifer, is also a member of
Mr. Clark's BtriDg and is a good prospect. The four year
old by Diablo, out of the dam of Athanio 2:10, is one of the
most promising youngsters in California, and there is a fnll
brother to the great Toggles 2:09}, that is also expected to
trot fast. Mr. Clark may not have Toggles in his string this
year as Mr. Babcock has not yet thoroughly made np his
mind aa to whether he will race him.

J. E. Albertson ia working eight good green horses, one
called Dan Dexter, a roan horse by Dexter Prince, that is
looked upon as a coming trotter. He worked a mile in 2:27
early in March with very little training and baa been im-
proving ever since.

Chas. Owen has old Joe Wheeler 2:07J, at work and the
grandson of Sidney never looked any better than he doea
now. Mr. Owen has Daken D., by Athadon, and a two year
old by Walstein ont of Daken D's dam. He will enter them
in their classes on the circuit.

Trainer Eddy has moved to Fresno from Hanford and has
a couple of horses lhat should be able to win a part of the
money on the circuit — Goshen Jim, aod Our Pat, the latter
by Strathway and a good green one at that.

Strathway is making a season at Fresno and is being well
patronized. He looks to be in fine condition.

For the above items we are indebted to Mr. Dan Leing-
inger, who has just removed to this city from the raisin
growing center.

An Old Oalifornlan.

Two or three newcomers that turned np on the driveway
last Sunday sayB the New York Sun, proved to be good
enongh to go with the best ones in aight. Ont was a lanky,
big bay trotter hooked to an antique, high-wheeled wagon
and driven by a man who aaid he waa Malcolm Mclihargy.
He aaid the horse was Joe Mack from California, with a
record of 2:14£. The old stepper outfooted the speedy pacer
Harry D. 2:24£, and held his own with Sir Eld 2:14|, the
latter getting off in front bnt failing to increase his lead in
the trip from the bend to the bridge. Aa he came back np
the road an old-time horseman in the crowd suddenly
ejaculated:

"Why, that's old Don Lowell 2:14}, the horse that Monroe
Salisbury brought over from California about five years ago
and campaigned in the Grand Circuit. He was thought to
be a world beater. George Ketcham bought him for Walter
Winans of England, and the old fellow has made the trip
acroaa the ocean and back again. You can't tell me that
horse's name ia Joe Mack."

Don Lowell haa been peddled about New York for two or
three years. It is aaid he was sold for $40 a few weeke ago.
He looked like the best $40 horse in the country yesterday.
With a pneumatic wagon behind him he could have made it
warm for the best of them.

Stookton Will Hold a Meeting.

The following letter was received at this office Friday
morning :

Stockton, May 2, 1900.
Breeder and Sportsman — The Stockton Driving Clnb
will give a race meet this year as usual. The date claimed
will be Sept. 17th to 22d inclusive. We have taken advan-
tage of the weather and placed the track in first-class con-
dition. Yours very truly, J. W. Willy,

Secaetary Stockton DriviDg Club,

This makes eleven weeks of harness racing certain on the
California Circuit and assures horsemen of one of the best
seasons ever held in the State. There are other dates to
follow, and which have not yet been officially announced,
viz: San Jose, Tanforan, Salinas, Fresno, Loa Angeles and

others.

♦

In our advertiaing columns this week will be found an
announcement of a pacing stallion for sale, that should re-
ceive many ioquiries. This horse is elegantly bred, has no
record, was never trained for a race, but can show a 2:08
gait to a prospective buyer at any time. Look into this.
The horse can win Lis price thiB year in the faet classes

if raced.

TWENTY-SIXTH KENTUCKY DERBY.

Lieutenant Gibson Breaks Traok Record and
Wins as He Pleases.

"The best three-year-old in the West" has been spoken of
Lieutenant GibBon seveial times by those who have seen
him taking his work for the Kentucky Derby, and hie ac-
tions io the race which came off Thursday last go to prove
that his admirers have judged him well.

With sunshine overhead and a faBt track under foot the
day was auspicious for a successful Derby. The race itself
was, in some respects, a disappointment. The sensational
work in the trials of the various candidates within the past
week had given rise to the belief that the rawhide and
steel would be plied vigorously during the last eighth of
the journey in the big event. The promised finish failed to
materialise but for one, Lieutenant GibBon, who wbb bo far
superior to his 6eld that they could not make a race of it.
The crowd in attendance was tremendous. Everywhere on
the shedB, fenceB, and, in fact, every place that humanity
could find a clinging place was occupied. The betting
stand was one surging, moving mass of humanity, and the
bookies were kept busy handling the bills which men fairly
fought to get placed.

When the entries were finally posted it was found that
Orontua and Benedier had been scratched, leaving seven of
the best colta in the West to contend for the honor. Ken-
tucky Farmer, Lieutenant Gibson, His Excellency, Highland
Lad, Floriiar, Thrive and Hindus came out on the track in
the order named, and each was in turn cheered as he paraded
in front of the stand. 8tarter Chinn hal but little trouble
in getting them away and there was a murmur from the
25,000 people present, and all eyes were fixed od the seven
colts as they came down to the stand.

When the bit of red bunting fell they were all in motion
and bunched closely. Kentucky Farmer had a head the ad-
vantage of Lieutenant Gibson, who was second. The posi-
tions remained practically the same as they traveled the first
quarter, except that Thrive moved up a little nearer the
front, while Lieutenant Gibson had been sent to the head of
the procession by Boland. When they reached the first
quarter, after passing the stand, Lieutenant Gibson was
showing the way by soma three lengths, with Kentucky
Farmer second and His Excellency third. It was evident
from the very fall of the flag that Boland on Lieutenant
Gibson was to make a runaway race of it.

At the half Lieutenant Gibson was going with an even,
steady stride, four lengths in front of Highland Lad, who
had moved up to second place and who was a head in front
of His Excellency, three lengths in front of Florisir, while
Kentucky Farmer, Thrive and Hindus were strung out for a
dozen lengths in the order named. As they rounded the
upper turn and came into the stretch Gibson had not relin-
quished more than half a length. Florizar was second, a
length in front of Highland Lad. his stable companion, with
His Excellency fourth.

But little change was made in the final run, except that
Thrive moved up to third place while Highland Lad and
His Excellency gave evidence of distress at the killing pace
which Gibson maintained to the finish, for the twenty-sixth
Kentucky Derby ended as it began, in a procession, with
Lieutenant Gibson at the head and his field trailing.

He passed under the wire winner by two lengths, without
having been touched, in the sensational time of Si:06£-
Florizar was second, half a length in front of Thrive, who
was a length in front of Highland Lad, while His Excellency,
Kentucky Farmer and Hindus were strung out in the order
named.

The public had backed Lieutenant Gibson to win, and
cheer after cheer went up when Boland .dismounted and a
wreath of American beauties was entwined about the brown
colt's neck.

The editor of the Thoroughbred Record, who recently
looked this colt over, thus described him.

"Lieutenant Gibson is a superb individual; in conformation
he is essentially Leamington, whose rich blood has been
handed down to him through G. W. Johnson, unbeaten as a
two year old, and his great sire Iroquois, winner of the
English Derby and son of the great Leamington, and again
through imp. Leamington's sod, Enquirer, sire of his second
dam. There is a beauty of finish which his sire has not and
a fineness and quality which as a rule does not maintain
among horses full of the powerful blood of the imported
son of Faugh-a-Ballagh. He is full sixteen hands high,
and in conformation is the embodiment of all qualities that
constitute a Derby horse. The brightness of his eye and
the glosB of his coat are indicative of that degree of perfect
health which only an animal in perfect condition can enjoy.
In the intelligent expression of his countenance and the
shape of his head, together with the breadth of his jowl,
brain power, determination and class, are apparent. He has
a well-developed head and neck, without being in the Blight-
eat degree coarse. His shoulders are sloping and fine,
while his legs are artistically set, showing a wonderfnl de-
velopment to the motive power of an animal machine.
The bone is excellent, substance indicated by his entire con.
firmation, is of the kind desired in a high-class racer and
future stock horse. Through the heart there is a great

depth, such a back and such loins are seldom equalled,
never excelled bv horses of his height. The leverage of
his hocks and muscular hindquarters displays the wonder-
ful mechanism which carried him into a high place among
the two-year-olds of last year when the youngsters began
running at their longer distances. His croup is well-
rounded and full, while his tail is perfectly Bet. On the
whole, Nature has been kind to the Bon of G. W. Johnson
and Sophia Hardy. He is a handsome, well-matured colt,
and has trained in such a way as to reflect great credit on
the man who is fitting him slowly, bnt surely, for the great
tasks that have been mapped out for him."

Getting Ready for May 30th.

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association is making ex-
tensive preparations for its meeting to be held on Decoration
Day at the Oakland track. At the weekly meetings held by
the members of the association at its room in the Palace
Hotel, there is always a big attendance and the greatest in-
terest is being taken in the approaching races, with much
good natured and generous rivalry being manifested.

The O'Kane Challenge Cap is of course the main topic of
discussion, as least a half dozan members being already
morally certain that the next name engraved upon it will be
theirs. It is now held by John C. Ohlandt, who won it very
handily laBt year with his horse Harvey B. 2:31. That the
record for the race will tie lowered this year is certain, but
Mr. Ohlandt thinks his horse will trot fast enough for him
to put another of the necessary three wins to his credit.

On May 26th, the Breeder and Sportsman will issue a
handsomely illustrated souvenir edition in which many of
the horBes owned by club members will be shown hitched to
road wagons. There will also be many illustrations of
sceneB in Golden Gate Park and on the Speedway and it
will be a very interesting edition to all who enjoy road
driving or are interested in any way in harness horses. A t
the IiBt meeting of the association the following committee
were appointed to take charge of the Decoration Day
meeting:

Track — E. Aigeltinger; printing — F. W. Thompson, C.
F. Kapp, H. F. Patrick; program— C. F. Kapp, Dr. Dal-
ziel; bar privileges — F. G. O'Kane, G. L. 8wett and H. F.
Patrick: other privileges — F. W. Thompson and H. F.
Patrick.

Fasig-Tipton Company Enlarged.

The Fasig-Tipton Company has absorbed the Easton
Company and purchased its complete plant, including the
Bale paddocks adj fining Sheepshead Bay racetrack. William
Easton will be retained as auctioneer of the new organization
and W. L Powers will be one of the partners in the concern.

The Fasig-Tipton people have attained wide spread pres-
tige as successful sellers of the best harness and thoroughbred
stock in tbe country, and with the enlarged scope afforded by
the present arrangement there is likely to be a proportionate
boom in the market for breeders and buyers. Business is to
be conducted under the new order of things with a view to
the mutual comfort and advantage of sellers and prospective
buyers.

An experiment in this direction will be made when the
annual consignment of the Haggin yearlings go East this
month from Bancho del Paso etud. Instead of being offered
at one of the race tracks as heretofore, they will be put up to
auction at Madison Square Garden on the night of May 24,
and the afternoon and night of May 25. The innovation is
expected to prove popular among horsemen, especially as tbe
dates are judiciously selected. The spring meeting at Morris
Park closes on May 24, and the following day is a blank on
the racing calendar. All the prominent men identified with
thoroughbreds are likely to be in New York until the
Brooklyn Jockey Club's opening on May 26, and under the
circumstances it is thought that tbe majority will naturally
gravitate to the Garden.

Put on Your Speotacles.

In the new Year Book, Beautiful Bells is credited with
only eight atandard performers lr the Great Broodmare
Table. Belsire 2:21 J is omitted from the list.— The Horse
World.

Not so in tbe copy of the Year Book that reached the
Breeder and Sportsman office. Belsire'B name appears
first under that of his great dam, as he is a new performer.

[Kentucky Stock Farm. J

On most farms in this country a number of mares are used
for the ordinary work on the farm, some for the plow and
wagon, some under the saddle, and many for light work on
the road. It was formerly tbe custom among farmers to
breed these, and in addition to their labor they also yielded
their owners a return in the way of producing foals. It is a
mistake to suppose that a mare cannot do ordinary labor and
at the same time be advantageously bred. Formerly it waa
the custom to breed the working mares, and they were thos
producers in a double Beose, earning their living by the labor
they performed and supplying horses for the market. On
the large farms of the country where horses are raised for
running or trotting purposes, tbe broodmares generally live
a life of ease and luxury. We think it a mistake to Buppose
that broodmares are the better for being exempt from ordin-
ary labor. It may be entirely proper to give them a little
needed rest at foaling time and during the first few weeks of
the life of the foal. Bot moderate work the year around i8
rather beneficial than injurious. It gives theii strength and
keeps them in good health. Of course very severe work or
very heavy pulling or sudden straining should not be re-
quired of them while carrying foals, and the work given
them should be regular and uniform rather than spasmodic
and violent. We believe that regular labor under such con-
ditions, with good care and feeding would tend to prevent
abortion and would be beneficial rather than injurious to the
prospective foals, for the reason that moderate and judicious
labor would keep them in better health and general physi-
cal condition than idleness. It must be remembered that it
has been in following such a Bysten that about all the horses
of the country were bred prior to the organization of the big
farms, which are of comparatively recent date. In those
days we heard of less slipping foals and other troubles inci-
dent to breeding than we hear now.

There are 6till some farmers who hesitate about breeding
the mares that do the ccmmon labor on their farms. We
think they are acting upon a mistaken idea, unle68 these
mares are required to perform extraordinarily arduous ser-
vice. It is a little inconvenient, probably, for foala to come
in plowing time, but this is not a very eerious difficulty.
After plowing time there is usually a season of rest for the
working stock on farms, and the grais is at this season grow-
ing finely, and the mares have a good opportunity to suckle
their foals. Before severe work is again required the foala
are strong and hearty, and have a start that will without mis-
management carry them well through the year.

There is no reason why farmers should not take advantage
of the high prices that good foals will command next year,
by breeding their work mares to some of the high class
stallions with which the country now abounds. Good sized
horses by good trotting sires make excellent farm animals
and good "all purpose" horses.

At Terre Haute, July 3 to 6, will beheld the first meeting
of the season in the east where $1,000 purses will be given.
This meeting will give horses an opportunity for several
good races and to win money before entering tbe Grand Cir-
cuit. The program is an excellent one, the pnrses ranging
from $500 to $5,000, six of which are for $1,000 each. The
conditions, which may be found in our business columns, are
liberal, and owners going east cannot afford to miBB Terre
Haute in July. Eotries to these purses will close with Sec-
retary Duffia on Monday, June 4, except the Terre Haute
House Purse, which has already closed.

Clabence A. Haight and W. J. Golcher of this city
who attended the shooting tournament at Fresno last week,
was treated to a fast ride while there, Mr. Bert Cline of that
city giving them his good roadster Free Coinage 2:20 to
drive. Free Coinage has been retired from the turf for some
time, but he has all his old time speed and is able to throw
the dust in the eyes of most everybody on tbe road in that

section.

-•-

About forty trainers and three hundred horses in training
are working daily over the Lexington trotting track, and
others will be added to the number as tbe season advances.
Some of the best yearlings, two year olds and three year olds
ever seen in tbe Blue Grass are in training there. Older
horses are not so plentiful, yet the boys have on hand a faw
high class ones that will be campaigned. — Kentucky Stock
Farm.

Dan Leininqeb, who has been located in Fresno for
Borne time, has moved to this city and has four borseB at the
Dexter Prince StableB which be is working on the speedway.
Dan understands how to get speed out of a horse and is a
good careful man with them. He will probably be seen on
the circuit with a few good ones.

That Turf Scandal.

Edward Cobbigax left last Tnesday for England with
his horses.

Yellowtajt, was shipped East with Barney Schreiber's
horses Monday last.

"Boots" Dtjrnell has turned oat Lothian, Lavator, Matt
Hogan, Judge Wofiord, Montalade. Mercutio and Credo.
He left last Sunday for England with Dr. ShepDard.

Bosey Boy, the chestnut gelding by BlitzeD, was started
over fifty times last year by his owner "Pa" Bradley. He
sorely must have been an iron three year old to have stood
it as he did.

It is said that the best youngsters in the Corrigan string
which left for England this week is the two year old colt
Father Yorke. He has outworked all the others at Ingle-
side track and is said to be a real crackerjack.

King Banneret won the Turf Congress Stake at Cumber-
land Park, Nashville, on Saturday, April 28th. The distance
was a mile and an eighth and the time 1:54}. King Banneret
carried 119 pounds. He was ten to one in the betting, F.
W, Brode and The Conqueror being equal favorites. The
Cooqaeror was last and F. W. Brode sulked and did not
finish.

Asked if he would match Mesmerist against Kilmarnock
or Lieutenant Gibson, Mr. Featherstone replied: "I will
match him against any three year old in America if the
stakes are large enough, I have noticed the statements attri-
buted to Mr. Madden concerning sucb a match. If he thinks
well enough of Kilmarnock or Lieutenant Gibson to put up
$50,000, $75,000 or $100,000, he can get a race out of me.

Stabteb Jame3 Caldwexl has accepted the position of
starter at the Colorado meetings which begin May 30th. The
opening will be at Colorado Springs, where three or fonr
days' racing will be held, then Pueblo will give a few days'
sport and Denver will open June 9th with a program of
trotting, pacing and running to last two weeks. Many Cali-
fornia running horses will take part in these races and quite
a number of harness horses frcm the Pacific slope will also
participate.

The Golden Gate Handicap at Emerysville on Thursday
of last week brought together an unusually good tield for
this time of the year. There were eight starters, and Rosor-
mond was the opening favorite, but Mortgage had the call at
the opening of the betting. Theory assumed the lead at the
outset, but was passed by Dr. Sheppard. Rosormonde and
Mortgage moved up at the far turn, and the latter, full of
running, drew away from Rosormonde and won with ease by
four lengths.

One of the highest class two year olds that has developed
this year in California is Rollick, the chestnut gelding by
Take Notice-Happy Maiden in the Burns & Waterhouse
string. RolJ'ck won his sixth successive race at Oakland on
Monday running the four furloDgs in 48J seconds and win-
ning easily. Happy Maiden is a young mare foaled in 1893,
and is by imp. Midlothian out of Felicity by Onondaga,
grandam Bliss by imp. Bonnie Scotladd. Rollick is a good-
looking chestnut and has a world of speed.

A dead heat was run at Oakland on Thursday of last
week between Headwater and Captive in the last race. The
former had the race won until the very last stride, when
Captive got up on even terms with him, both finishing so
close together that the jadges could not separate them.
Jingle Jingle, a 20 to 1 chance, led by half a dozen lengths
along the back stretch, and for a while it seemed as though
they would never calcb her; but she came back to her field
in the last three-eighths of a mile, and could only secure
third place, although many people thought that Horton bad
finished third. Under the new rules of the California
Jockey Club it is not necessary to run off a dead heat, hence
before on both horses drew down half the face value of their
tickets only.

Great things are expected of Yellowtail this year in the
East by hie California admirers. On Monday last, the day
before being shipped to St. Louis, he started in a six furlong
race at Oakland, bis rider, Buchanan, being instructed to
keep on at the finish and work him a mile and a furlcng.
Yellowtail won as be pleased from Olinthus in 1:13$, ran a
mile in in 1:39 and the mile and an eighth in 1:52. That he
was a great horse Monday there is no doubt, bat it is a ques-
tion in the minds of many trainers whether or not it was %
judicious thing to demand so much of a colt just before
pultiog him in a car for a long journey across tbe country.
He will start in the Inaugural Handicap at St. Louis one
week from to-day if be is in good shape and many are of
the opinion that with but 107 pounds up he should run the
mile in very fast time if necessary and win without trouble.
Monday's race was tbe first Yellowtail has run since becom-
ing tbe exclusive property of tbe Hacketl Brothers.

"It is no wonder Timemaker ran well while in California,''
remarked the well known turf writer Ralph Tczer in the
Bbkfdeb and Sportsman office the other day. "Time-
maker carries lots of the old California blood in his veins,
though bred at Meadowtborpe Rlod, LexingtoD, Kentucky.
His dam was Nelly Stanley bv Springbok. Years ago that
good mare Fanny Hall by Norfolk, bred by the late Mr.
Boots, was taken East and sold. She was bred to Springbok
several times, Nellie Stanley being one of the resultant foals.
Fanny Hall was a daughter of that celebrated mare Miami
by Belmont, also owned by Mr. Boots, the next dam being
Maria Downing by American Eclipse, tbe dam of many
good ones and one of tbe greatest mares ever brought to
California. Miami was tbe dam of Mamie Hall, Nathan
Coombs, Bob Wooding, Young Kingston, Inauguration and

The scandal which stirred up tarfdom in this city a few
weeks ago, has had a peculiar ending. It will be re-
membered that Jcckey Mike Hennessey turned State's evi-
dence, as it were, and told a story of the fraudulent running
of the horse Hard Knot, belonging to Ed Lannigan, of this
city. The evidence was firBt secured through the California
Jockey Club, Hennessey haviog told his story to President
Thos. H. Williams, Jr. Being convinced upon investiga-
tion of the truth of the charge, the California Jockey Club
turned the matter over to the Western Turf Association, as
the alleged crooked races were run over that track. The
parties to the fraud were said to be Jockey Piggott, Danny
Lynch, tbe trainer, and Willie Martin. Lynch had started
East, but came clear back to deny the charges of crooked-
ness. The Stewards of the Western Turf Association, after
hearing the evidence, rendered the following decision:

The Board of Stewards of the Western Turf Association,
after a careful investigation in this case of all the evidence
(including affidavits furnished by the California Jocfcey Club)
do find that the weight of evidence clearly exonerates said
Daniel Lynch from any complicity in the fraudulent ride on
the horse Hard Knot of date March 16, 1900, confessed to
by his rider, Jockey Hennessey. And that, therefore, said
charges as to Daniel Lynch are dismissed.

We do further find nothing in all the evidence in this case
to implicate either Jockey Piggott or Willie Martin in any
wrong-doing, and the charges as to them in this matter are
dismissed.

The conduct, evidence and admissions of Jockey Hen-
nessey in the Hard Knot ride, coupled with other evidence,
while directed against parties in this investigation found to
be absolutely innocent, we do find incriminate no one but
Jockey Hennessy himself, and, therefore, said Jockey Hen-
nessey is hereby ruled off.

We do further find in the matter of the Pirate entry and
race, which was coupled with the foregoing complaint, noth-
ing of a fraudulent character in either said entry or race im-
plicating said Daniel Lynch as alleged and said charge is
therefore dismissed.

As Mr. Williams had assured Hennessey that a clean
breast of the whole matter would save him from punishment,
his ruling off by the rival association does not tend to have
an oleaginous effect upon the waters which have for some
time been in a troubled state between the two clubs.

Since the ruling made by tbe Western Turf Association,
the California Jockey Clnb has issued an order rolling off
Danny Lynch, Willie Martin and Piggott and denying them
admission to its track. As one of the turf writers on a city
daily states it:

The Jockey Club is not a member of the Western Turf
Association and is not bound to abide by its rulings, where-
fore Hennessey will probably be permitted to ride at the
Oakland track, At the same time the license committee of
the American Turf Congress is compossed of the jadges at
the Oakland track— Murphy, Hopper and Price — and it is
possible that tbe Jockey Club will contest the findings of the
Western stewards and refuse Piggott his license.

And there you are.

My Gypsy, the filly purchased in the East last year by
James McCormick for Burns & Waterhouse, is fulfilling ex-
pectations. She has run several good races recently the
most notable being her win of Saturday last when she de-
feated Rosormonde and a field of fonr others in a handicap
at a mile and a quarter, winning by two lengths from the
daughier of Ormonde in 2:05|, the fastest time ever made by
a three year old fillv and record time for the Csast. The
mile was run in 1:40}, and though My Gypsy was all out at
the finish she was game throughout the fast race. She
carried 87 pounds and whenever light weighted can be de-
pended upon to run a good race over a distance. My Gypsy
is by Forrester, a son of imp. Ill Used, her dam My Gyps, a
mare bred at Kancho del Paso and by imp. Kyrle Daly.

The officials so far appointed for the Overland Park
meeting at Denver are as follows: James Caldwell, starter
of running race*; John Ten Eyck, starter of harness racts;
F. E. Mulholland, handicapper; Wm. Shuckman, clerk of
the scales.

The Fly-Casting Olub.

A grisly southwest wind made a cold damp day last SatDr-
day rather an uncomfortable outing for those who attended
the sixth Saturday contest of the Ban Francisco Fly-Casting
Club. In the long distance event five casters reached the
one hundred foot mark, A. E. Lovett leading with a cast of
118 feet. Under the circumstances, fair scores prevailed,
with the exception of Mr. Lovett's work in the lure casting
event; 96 2-5 per cent, is a record that is not often beaten
anywhere, it is the top score so far in that event in the local
contests. The wind on both Saturday and Sunday inter-
fered greatly with the casting, particularly bo in accuracy
and delicacy work, control of the line being almost impossible.

The regular monthly meeting will be held on Tuesday
evening next at Jules' restaurant. Mr. Charles 8. Wheeler
is announced to address the Club on angling topics. An ex-
cellent musical program has been arranged to enliven the
evening.

Anglers' rates for points on the Truckee river (one way
rate for the round trip) good for ten days ia now in effect.
The Southern Pacific Railroad Company has agreed to stop
the Portland express for club members at Baird's spur, as
formerly.

The scores for last week's caBting are the following :

Winter Sport at Oatalina.

An Eastern visitor to Southern California last January,
who, by the way, is a devoted follower of the sport derived
from an earnest application of rod and reel every time oppor-
tunity offers, reconnte the following pleasant experiences at
Catalina Island:

"If you say this is winter I'll take yoar word for it — I'm
a stranger in these parts," said an angler with a number of
rods, as he stood waiting for the boatman to launch his craft.

"'Tis winter, all right," replied the oarsman, giving bis
boat a above down through the soft s&nds, then holding it for
his patron to step in. Across the channel, sixty miles dis-
tant, the Sierra Mad res were crowned with snow, the summit
of Mount Antonio, 11,000 feet high, rising a dome of white
against the eastern sky; yet the air was as soft as the Eastern
summer, the hills of the island green with new born tints,
and every garden in the little town ablaze with color from
the roses and other flowers. The sea out npon which the
boat glided wbb as Bmooth as a pond, and it was difficult to
keep up the idea that it was winter.

"There's something curious about the fishing here," said
the boatman, baiting the line and tossing it over. "We
have the big fish, yellowtail, sea bass and others— up to the
first of January — take this year as a sample. Then they
disappear, and we miss them for about a month or bo. Then

they begin to Btrsggle back, one by one. Now, what do they
go for? Some say it's on account of the cold, but it's ten
times as cold down in deep water where they go, so it can't
be that. Now, if you notice, the sardines and smelt go
about the same lime, end I believe tbat'B the secret. It's the
game with birds. They don't mind the cold so much as the
lack of food, and when the insects give out they go, too.
So with thefisb; theBardineE — their natural food — disappear
and they follow. Where they go I don't know, but it ib
supposed they go off shore into deep water, as we catch yel-
lowtsila on trawls set in 600 feet of water. The cod we
catch then have sardines in their stomachs at times. There
you are, sir," said the boatman, as suddenly he stopped row-
ing. The line whistled through the water, and the delicate
rod bent like a whiplash.

The angler was fishing for rock bass with an eight-ounce
ep lit bamboo, and had hooked one of the winter fishes, a
rock bass that did not go away. The boatman had been
rowing along the edge of the kelp bed — a submarine forest,
in which yellow and black: bass, ranging up to ten or twelve
pounds, could be seen poising among the great leaves, darting
away at the shadow of the boat. The fish in its first rush
had dashed toward the forest of green, but the angler deftly
turned it, testing the rod to Us utmost. Now it surged down
into the deep blue water, then rose rapidly. What was that?
"Look out, sir !" cried the boatman. Something was after
the bass, and as the angler rose to his feet, reeling for his life
to take in the slack, he caught Bight of a huge mahogany-
hued shape which seemed to rise out of the depths like a
jack in the box, swooping after the bass, then disappearing
as suddenly with a tremendous dive into the sea.

"What in the name of Walton was that?" asked the
fisherman, reeling in the line that was slack.

"That, sir," said the boatman, robbing his arm across his
face to wipe away the spray, "was what they call a sea
bass. He saw your fish struggling and made a dash up and
over and just took it. They're for all the world like a black
bass, only they are often six or seven feet long and weigh
several hundred pounds."

"He's got my fish and fifty feet of line," said the angler,
mournfully.

"You're in luck, sir," was the reply, as the boatman got
ready to adjust another hook, "Sometimes they spoil the
fishing and take rod and all."

Another hook baited with a small fish was now thrown oat,
ana presently the angler had hooked another bass that played
finely for five minutes, then, like his cousin, the black basa of
freBh water, went into the air in right royal fashion, and,
ever fighting, plunging down and around, Blowly came to the
net. It tipped the scales at ten and three-eighths pouuds,
end was as near a black bass as could be imagined, and while
not making the same fight, was a very good substitute. It
was a rock bass day — there could be no doubt about it — and
all along the island shores these fishes were leaping. .Reach-
ing a white rock at White's Landing, a bay which should be
called Los Tunas— from the abundance of tunas in the
season — the boatman nut down his oars and made fast to the
kelp floating on the surface. The rocky shore was only fifty
or sixty feet distant, and to the left a wide, beautiful canyon
opened op and wound away to the very summit of the island;
a peak nearly 3000 feet high marked its head. The gulch
was filled with green trees and underbrush and many radia-
tions in many directions.

The angler had been taking it all in — the sweep of the
hills, the leafless cottonwood, the little house beneath them,
the white beach with its musical sands, when zeee-zeee ! went
the reel, and the tip of the rod waB two feet beneath the sur-
face. What brave fish is thie; now boring down, hammering
at the rod with distinct blows, then shooting up like a rocket,
tearing of the line in yards to the exhilarant measure of the
reel's high staccato? The fish was a little too much for an
eight-ounce split bamboo, and the slender rod was now bent
into an imperfect U.

"A twelve-ounce rod is the thing here," said the boatman,
smiling. ,

"Yes, but I can do it," retorted the aogler, and he did;
bringing to gafl alargesheepshead with bands of black and red
a fish with a bead like a battering ram, as game and hard-
fighting a creature as ever bit a hook. The fish was weighed
at once and tipped the scales at sixteen pounds.

"I thought you said the fiahing was poor here" said the
angler.

"Well, we don't count these fish in summer," replied the
man. "Then it's yellowtail, white sea bass, and tuna — all
hard fighters- That's what people Beem to want; but you like
the easy fish."

"I don't call that an easy fish," said the fisherman; "fifteen
minutes on an eight-ounce rod and a sixteen-thread linen
line; I call that hard fighting." And so it was.

The California sbeepshead ranges up to twenty pounds,
and individuals exist in local traditions which run up to
thirty pounds; but the average is from ten to fifteen. It re-
sembles the Gulf of Mexico porgy more than other fish, the
nose being very blunt. The young are a delicate gray in
color, with stripes; later they change to red, and in the adults
are striped.

"They are great fighters," said the boatman. "A man at
Avalon kept three or four big males in a tank and had them
divided off by a wire screen, but when they saw one another
they turned and butted the fence down and literally killed
each other. One curious thing I noticed about this fish.
About every twenty minutes they would turn a complete
somersault; not over the bead, but sideways, rolling over and
over."

The sbeepshead can be termed one of the gamest fishes of
Southern California without dispute, as it a fiord b excellent
sport and makes a determined fight. Being the common
edible fish, it has alway been taken on the hand line, but
when it has fair play with a twelve-oum,e rod and light line
it becomes a foe worthy the attention of any angler. The
best fishing grounds for this fish are in kelp beds, where the
great vines rise upward and form arches, parterres, and long

reaches. Here they make there home, wandering off in
search of food, generally shellfish.

Another winter fish of Sonthern California and one of the
most attractive is the white fish, which is a French gray in
tint, with dorsal and ventral fins continuous and tipped with
red and purple. It ib found in the same waters with the
sbeepshead, and on a light split bamboo affords good sport,
ranging up to twelve pounds.

The boatmen of Santa Catalina are no less interesting than
the fish, and all are characters in (heir way, and have a wide
acquaintance. The man who is giving points to our angler
ofl the white rock is Jim Gardner. Jim has a stand in front
of the one large hotel at Avalon that is well painted and
decorated. It faces the 6ea, and the patent rack, where Jim
dries his lines and hangs his patrons' fish as tbev come in.
The stand has a long, cushioned seat, its back about six feet
high containing a remarkable collection of photographs of
fishes. Within the four glass doors, tastefully pinned up, is
every man of prominence Jim has gaffed fjr — a piscatorial
history of thiB famous fishing ground. Every large Eastern
city is represented with the photographB of men who have
landed large tunas, black sea bass, white sea bass, or yellow-
tail, end in each photograph Jim holds the gaff — good look-
ing, debonair, and with dead loads of luck stored about him
somewhere. It was Jim who brought in the largest tuna
ever caught, which weighed 251 pounds; it is Gardner who
holds the record for the most tunas, and it was Jim who mide
a swim, towing a living fish on the hook of his gafl when the
boat capsized, thus saving the tuna, though it hauled him
under water several times. The names of Jim's boats are
suggestive of his specialty, Tuna and Tunita, and the many-
hued flags which fly from his flagstaff proclaim to the world
in strange figures that the tunas are biting.

Near by is the stand of Hugo, whose fishing dogs have
given him no little notoriety. One catches flying fish as
they fly ashore when pursued by larger fish, and another
leaped from the boat upon the back of a jew fish and clung
to it until it was landed. Another stand in old gold, with an
oil painting of a fifty pound yellow-tail on its back, reader
"Mexican Joe, Pioneer Guide and Boatman." Mexican Joe
is the oldest boatman on the island. He has lived there forty
years, and is known to thousands all over the United States,
and no better fisherman lives. He knows the haunts of
every fish in the Santa Catalina channel, and winter and
summer can make his catch. The tana season enda in
Argust, but Mexican Joe has played the fish in February on
the southwest coast. A famous goat hunter, with a fund of
archaeological lore, he has been the guide of many famous
men who have delved into the ancient mysteries of Santa
Catalina.

All these men are fine types of physical manhood. Many
a time has Mexican Joe rowed thirty miles in a heavy boat
before the days of power launches, and there are numbers of
these men: Harry Elms, who fought a gigantic tuna fourteen
hours, who knows every rock and reef about the great island.
Neal, who hooked a small whale; Chris Bingsen, whose boat-
men are the heroes of a hundred battles between tunas and
giant black sea buss, and many more make up this band of
boatmen and gaffers skilled in all the arts of the rod and reel.

The man who goes into a tackle store and asks for a 100-
yard reel may get one that will hold 300 feet of the line he
desires to use. Bat he is ja&t as likely to get one that will
either hold too much or too little. If the former he is not
much the worse of, but in the latter case he is put in a
rather awkward predicament. Keels when put upon the
market are usually stamped on the bottom of the reel plate
with the number of yards of letter "G" braided silk line they
will hold. Now a "G" line is only twenty-five one one-
thousandths of an inch in diameter, and is the smallest diam-
eter fishing line usually to be bad. An "E" line — the size
generally used for salt water fishing — is thirty-five one thou-
sandths of an inch in diameter, and a reel which will hold
300 feet of "G" will accomodate bat 180 fee* of "E " A
reel which will accommodate 100 yards of "E" line should
be 2$ inches in diameter, with a spool 1 3-8 inches long.
This reel, if 6tted with a "G" line, will hold 126 yards. In
other words, a man who wishes to buy a reel for salt water
fishing should calculate that he will only be able to get about
four-fifths of the amount of line on it that is stamped on the
indicating figures on the bottom of the reel plate.

There is another thing about the average fishing reel of
large size which many anglers dislike and which could be
easily remedied. I allude to the click with which the reel
ia furnished. Fjr salt water fishing casting can be satisfac-
torily made only from a free running reel, and the spool be
kept from running too fast and entangling the line by manip-
ulation of the thumb as the spool revolves. The fisherman
often wishes to lay his rod down in the boat or stick it in the
aand for a few moments while he fills his pipe, arranges his
tackle, or eats his luncheon. Now should he Bet the adjust-
able click it will usually be found to work so hard that a
heavy fish, taking the bait, would be apt to pull the rod
orerboard or knock it down before overcoming the resistance
of the click. If the click spring was made so weak that,
instead of retarding the revolution of the reel to so appreci-
able an extent, it would simply cause it to sing melodiously,
as the ratchet jumped from cog to cog, the fisherman would
be informed when he bad a bite, and the free revolution of
the reel would prevent any damage or the possible loss of a
rod, A hard working click is all right on a trout fly reel,
but it is the only place where it has any excuse for being.
Some of the high priced Kentucky reels are fitted with a
weak ratchet spring, which acts more like an alarm than a
click, and there is no reason why the makers of other pat-
terns should not get them out similarly.

Speaking of split bamboo rods, I want onee more to make
the point that it is the most absolute folly a fisherman can
commit to buy the cheap trash in the market at prices rang-
ing from (1 to $4 A split bamboo, when properly made, is
an expensive Bffair, and only the very best of skilled
mechanics can be trusted to turn out one worth having. If
a man only wishes to spend a moderate amount let him buy
a rod of lancewood or greenhsrt, which can be had at a
reasonable figure and will give four times the service of (he
cheap split bamboo. We know of a lancewood fly rod, the
original cost of which was $4.50. It has seen hard service
for the last thirteen years and it is still in good condition.
The only repairs that have been made beyond rewrapping
and revarnishing have been a couple of new tips, which cost
75 cents each, and the rod is to-day straight, without set, and
capable of doing as good work as when first received.
course, the iod has had good care and was treated -
not in use.

Trie State Tournament.

The eighth annual tournament of the California State In-
animate Target Association at Fresno on April 29th and
30th was conducted under very unfavorable weather condi-
tions, much to the chagrin of the FreBno Bportsmen who
used every endeavor to make the visiliog shot gun experts
enjoy their brief stay, notwithstanding the two days' rain.

On Sunday morning at 8 o'clock the firBt event was com-
menced with 104 shooters entered. Six men tied on score8
of eighteen each. ,l8ande," "U. M. C," Verien, Chick,
Nauman and F. Feudner. F. VereiD, of San Jose, won in
shooting off the tie and tcok the trophy offered by the
Lincoln Gun Club. In the mosey division those who scored
seventeen breaks received 85 cents each, the sixteen men won
$3 each, those breaking fifteen targets $1-90 each and the
shooters who made fourteen breaks took down $3. In the
s'de pools, six shooters received $3.60 each with eighteen
breaks, eight men with seventeen hits won $2.40 each, four
men in third class received $3.15 each and fourth money
paid twelve men 50 cents each.

The Empire Gun Club trophy, in the second event, wa3
won by Fred Feudner who made the only straight score on
the first day of the shjot. In the division of the money C*
C. Nauman won $11.25, his score of nineteen breaks being
alone in their contest. Second class money paid the scores Of
eighteen each $3.75, third class money was $4.80 to each
shooter with seventeen hits and the sixteen men won $4.50
each. Side pools counted $25 40 to Feuduer on his straight
score, Nauman won $19, six shooters with eighteen breaks
won $2.10 each and fourth class paid 90 cents to each
shooter in the division.

The third event for the E. T. Allen Cup was tied by
Anderson, Verein, Lemoin, Nauman and Server with nine-
teen breaks each. Clarence Nauman won the trophy in
shooting off the tie. Clarence A. Haight, the previous
winner of this event, received $27 20 of the entrance money.
The regular money division paid first clasB men (18 breaks)
ten cents each, second class 65 cents, third class $1.25)
fourth class $1 15. Side pooh paid, to three classes, $5, $2.15
and 90 cents respectively.

On account of various delays and the inclemency of the
weather Sunday's program was only half carried out when
darkness put an end to the shooting. The events therefore
had to be shot off Monday morning, and it was noon before
Sunday's program was completed.

The Gold Dust Diamond Medal, the first contest Monday,
was won by Clarence Nauman after shooting off a tie with
M. O. Feudner. A. J. Webb, the previous holder of the
medal (not Nauman as inadvertently stated last week) re-
ceived $34.40 entrance money. Money division paid in
first class (18 breaks), $1.65 each; second class (17), $1.25
each; third class (16), $1.05; fourth claBS (15), $1.65 each.
Nauman and Feudner divided $12 00, the first class money
in the side pool; second class men divided $14.40, and six
shooterB in the third division received $1.60 each.

The Garden City Gun Club trophy, the fifth program
event, was woo by Marlines Chick of San Diego, who tied
with W. J. Golcher and C. W. Debenham in straight scoreB.
Chick won out on the tie shoot off. The money divisions in
this event paid in the regular pool, $3.50 each; to second
class men (19), $2 00 each; to third clasB (18), $2.10 each; to
fourth class men (17), $2.15 each; to fifth class men (16),
side pools paid, 3 men, $8 15 each; in first class (20), 2 shoot-
ers in second class, $9.20 each, and 8 men in third class 75
cents each.

The Bixtb event for the Merced Gun Club trophy was de.
termined by the honors resting with Ed Feudner who scored
straight.

The second day's program opened at noon Monday. It
had to be finished before night and to save time the program
was abbreviated by combining events four, five and six into
one event. Thus shortened, the events were shot off between
1 and 5 o'clock when the briefjtime intervening between that
hour and dark was devoted to the team contests — the Koos
three-man team event and the shoot for the Antioch Gun
;lub trophy for teams of six men.

The winners of the trophies in the individual events were

To be concluded next week.

One afternoon recently, says the New York Sun, a man
came down Beaver street toward 8outh William with a big,
cylindrical rat trap under his arm. There were eight rats in
the trap — fat, long, browD, wharf rats. He was apparently
bound for the river. A number of newsboys and messengers
trailed behind him. A few older persons turoed to watch
bim.

Down South William street came a man accompanied by a
fox terrier. The man with the dog and the man with the
rats passed. Then as with a common impulse tbey stopped
and turoed back and met.

"Where are you taking them?" asked the man with
he dog.

"I was a-goin' to drown 'em," said the man with the rats,
and then he grinned.

"No use going to that trouble, is there?" suggested the
other, glancing at the dog which was standing on its hind
legs, Baying things about the rats.

"They're big 'uns," said the rat man. "Do you think he
could do 'em?"

"Try him," said the dog man.

"I'll go yer," said the other.

There was a circle of persons of all walks of lise around
the two by this time that was growing larger everv minute.
The two men pushed their way out into the middle of the
street, rnd there was something like a cheer from the popu-
lace. The promoters of the contest motioned for the crowd
to stand back, and it fell away respectfully. Truck drivers
pulled up their teams and stood on the seals of their trucks
to be able to see over the heads of the people in the street.
When the man with the dog, his eve on his walch, gave the
signal for the rat trap to be opeoed there were 250 people in
the circle.

The dog was a very able dog. Eight wild yells of delight
from the crowd split the air as the lifeless carcasses of eight
rate in quick succession were jerked one side. The dog
panced around and wanted more. So did the crowd. The
rat man and the dog man shook hands and thanked each
other and went away. The boys stood aroui.d for awhile and
inspected the dead rats and held forth to late comers on what
they had missed. One after another, three policemen ap-
peared and Bhooed the crowd away.

The people who had left their tables in Delmonico's to see
the fun turned back their luncheons. Ooe of them was
heard to siy that he would not have missed it for a ten-dollar
bill. And another murmured softly:

And they're Dlnchlng folks on Broadway
For a-Hpllllnjc on the floor.

Practloal Poultry Points.

0. W. Mapes in Poultry Monthly, who says
he has kept more than 1000 heDS each year
for five years, compares the possible and prob.
able profits of keeping cows and keeping hens
He estimates that 2000 good bnt not fancy-
bred hens would cost at firBt outlay about the
same money as 20 cows. A cow barn for 20
cows would cost in Orange County, New York
from $1500 to $2000. The same money would
erect buildings of equally good material, style
and finish for 2000 hens. He followed the
separate colony plan and kept 40 hens in each
house of 10 by 12 feet, and has kept 50 to 60
in a house, and could not see but that they
did as well as when only 20 were kept to-
gether. But at 40 hens to a house he would
need 50 houses for 2000 hens, and the price of
the cow barn would allow $30 to $40 for each
house.

He allows for feeding the cow one and one-
half tons of hay $18, pasturing five months
$7.50, and one ton of grain $18, a total of
$43.50 per cow, and $875 for 20 cows. He
finds by actual experience that it costs about
65 cents a year to feed a hen, or $1300 for
2000, $425 more than for the cows.

Bat what are the cash returns. He has
had one hen lay 230 eggs in a year, but he
puts such a hen in the clas3 with cows that
produce 5000 to 6000 pounds of milk a year,
as not easy to be found or to be bought at low
prices. He thinks not every farmer could
pick op a herd of 20 cows that would yield a
product worth $60 a year, or $1200 for the 20
cows. He then places tbe probable yield at
eight to 10 dozen eggs in a year. For five
years his egg product from 1000 hens has
never been less than $1.50 per hen in a year,
selling at 18 to 20 cents a dozen in Orange
county, although many of his hens are kept
until five or six years old. This then would
be an income from eggs alone of $3000 from
2000 hens, or $1800 more than from the 20
cows, and after taking out the $425 extrB
feed, a profit of $1375 more than that made
on the cows.

To prove his estimate not extravagant, he
gave his figures from March 1st to Govern
ber 1st, 1898, a period of eight months, dur.
ing which he had about 1200 henB most of the
time, and they laid 129,418 eggs, or over 100
each, and he sold to the amount of $1984 from
them, besides hatching over 1000 chickens.
This is better than $1.50 worth of eggs per
hen in eight months.

His method of feeding is an unusual one, as
during those eight months they had corn con-
stantly by them in bozes which were filled
automatically from a bin holding a month's
supply. Mash rich in what the corn lacked)
nitrogen a: d organic mineral matter, was also
kepijin troughs all of the time, taking care
not to mix enough at any time to have it get
sour. The hens made a balanced ration to
suit themselves. He was by this plan able to
mix the food and distribute in the troughs for
over 2000 fowl including the young stock in
two hours work in a day, and he thinks if he
had them all in one long building with a hall
along the back Bide, and a car in which to
carry food, eggs, etc., he could care for 4300
hens without help. He claims that this is
"a story from real life," and the results of his
own experience. It certainly contains some
ideas not in accordance with tbe usual teach-
ings of poultry papers and poultry writers.

Owners of horses do not appreciate the
value of long, brisk, thorough and regular
combing and brushing of horses so well as do
European owners. The horse whose eoat is
neglected is never really in fine condition.
The sweat left to dry upon him destroys the
natural oil of the hair, and clogs the pores
of the skin so that tbe excretions are reduced.
and the impurities that should be thrown off
by the pores of the skin are forced back into
tbe animal's system, to the general damage of
his health. Comb often. Brush thoroughly.
The comb will loosen the dead skin and tbe
dried sweat, and the brush will draw both out
aud stimulate the deposition of the oil that is
designed to make end keep (be hair smooth
and gloss?. Don't be economical of strength
in giving the horse his brushing. Bear on
hard. The horse will like it. The massag-
ing by the brush will be good for him ;n
every way, starting up his circulation, limber-
ing his joints and stimulating his nervous
system. No horse was ever too tborougly
combed and brushed. No combing and brush-
ing were ever thrown away.

Improving Pasture Lands.

Many farmers and ranchmen in the north-
west have been able to materially increase the
stock carrying capacity of their pasture lands
by scattering over the worn spots the seed of
such grasses as western wheat grass (Agropy-
ron spictaum), prairie June grass (Koeleria
cristata), Kentucky blue grass and smooth
brome. Sometimes these areas are harrowed
or ''disked" after seeding and sometimes not-
One practice is to seed while the ground is
wet and drive stock over the land to work the
seed into the soil.

The American Wool and Cotton Kepcrter
6ays editorially that if statistics are any guide
wool ought to be as strong as it ever was in
all its history. The stock of wool was never
less adequate to the needs of the world than it
is to-day. Statistically the position is as
strong now as it was at the close of 1899, when
there was a general expectation that 1900
would see a still further advance in wool
quotations. That the hopes then entertained
have met with disappointment is well known.
There has been a prominent decline in prices
in London, but there is no agreement as to the
exact cause of the break. The present situa-
tion in the markets of the United States is a
waiting one and the matter of an advance or
decline in prices may hinge largely upon the
question whether, irrespective of supply and
demand, prices have gone as high as the pur-
chasing power of the community will permit'

-ta,

The supposition that Brahma chicks grow
faster and weigh more than Leghorn chicks
is true only to a limited period. For the first
six weeks of growth the difference in the
weight of Brahma and Leghorn chicks is not
half an ounce. When ten weeks old the
Brahmas may average one and three-fourths
pounds each, and the Leghorns one and one-
half pounds each, which is a very small
difference in a ten week's growth. Crosses of
the Leghorn on Brahmas and Plymouth Rock
hens give chicks that weigh only two ounces
less than Brahmas or Brahmas crossed on
Plymouth Bocks. The comparison is re-
garded as a very favorable one for the Leg-
horns, especially as they have been under-
rated as a suitable breed for producing broil-
ers.

The old cavalry horse Billy owned by
Mpj or Talbot, and the only sirvivor of the
Custer massacre, died at Cheyenne the other
day. The horse was found on the battlefield
badly wounded and wandering around s jimng
at the dead bodies of the soldiers. Major
Talbot purchased the animal from the quar-
termaster's department. The faithful old
horse was buried on the Fort Russell military
reservation, near the Talbot residence and a
stone appropriately inscribed will mark the
spot.

them, and that they would not pay if they could, to say
nothing about the ability to pay if they would. There-
upon the county attorney thrust himself into the fray,
swore out a warrant against the two stallioneers and a
grand and austere constable marched to the track, con-
fronted the rebellious pair and haled them before a

manner of betting wou'd be the rule this year. We in-
formed them that the Northern Circuit had declared
against books and the reply came that if the plan of
auction pools and mutuals was restored both would
make a tour of the circuit. These gentlemen are both
engaged in legitimate business in San Francisco and
both were regular attendants on the California circuit
in the days before the betting was handled by the book-
makers. They are admirers of the trotting and pacing
horse and for their summer recreation visited the fairs
and were backers of their favorites with large sums.
But bookmaking drove them from the sport years ago

until such time as the date of the trial could be set.
Did they go to jail? No, they gave the bond It did
not take long to m ake it out and there were forty or fifty
men ready to qualify on it. They had to engage a
lawyer however, and after studying the code the legal
luminary informed his clients that it would not
take a competent court six ^minutes to declare them
not guilty and that each would walk forth from
the temple of justice in the god-like attitude of
freedom. " The stallion license law," said he, "is
dead. A California legislature killed it years ago, and
since then it has been buried out of sight. That Ala-
meda officer must have been startled from a Rjp Van
Winkle sleep and don't know where he is at. Why, the
prosecution in this case haven't a leg to stand on. Both
their front legs have bowed tendons, there is a thorough-
pin in the off hind leg of the case and on the near hind
leg there is a curb that looks like a new moon. Don't
you worry about it, boys The Court will dismiss the
case and fine the officers the champagne for the crowd."
And so, like all clients, they have placed their trust in
their lawyer and beli-ve that what he says goes. But
the other trainers at the track look at them disdainfully
and say, " We are not associating with law breakers,"
and pass them by. And now that Keating has gone
East, Durfee has to bear the brunt of all the joshing
and it is a burden by the side of which the one Kipling
has charged the white man with is a sinecure.

be among the best patrons of the fairs. "And there are
others" in great number who will follow.

The question of a professional starter is the most im-
portant one, now that a circuit of fourteen weeks of har-
ness racing has been announced. Why can't the lead-
ing associations hold a conference and arrange to secure
a man that knows how to start horses? The Breeders,
the State Fair and the Tanforan people are able to pay
a starter a salary that would induce /some 'good man to
come here from the East, and the other associations
would then be able to secure his services. A first class
starter can do a great deal toward making the new era
of harness racing in California successful, and if the as.
sociations intend doing anything to secure such an
official it is time they got their heads together and took
some action.

Two weeks of harness racing is to be given at Tan-
foran Park when the new organization known as the
San Mateo and San Francisco Agricultural Association
holds its first meeting. This is the old Horse Show
Association reorganized and horsemen must not get the

by this grand annual exhibition to engage in the busi-
ness of turning out horses that are perfect in manners
as well as conformation and breeding. The harness
racing provided is to be in the way of entertainment for
the large crowds that will surely visit the fair. To
make it entertaining it will be made as high class as
possible and as clean as a strict surveillance by compe-
tent officials can make it. There is no doubt but the
fair will be of immense benefit to all stock breeders and
to the entire community.

The stable of trotters owned by Thos. Lawson, of
Boston, and which the owner has gotten together at an
expense of about $80,000, is to be campaigned this
season in a style which borders on the spectacular, says
a writer in the New York Telegraph. It is nothing un-
common for a trotting stable lo have a private car for
its transportation from place to place, but Mr. Lawson's
establishment will have two, one of them being given
over to baggage. There are two trainers a manager, a
bookkeeper, a blacksmith and an attendant for each
horse. It is an elaborate outfit when it is considered
that the stable has no sensational performers, but ever
since he began operations at Lexington last fall Mr
Lawson has gone ahead in a broadgauge way, stopping
at no expense to secure just what he wanted. Not only
has this been the case in respect of his trotters, but the
same rule has applied to his coach and carriage horses.
Only last week in New York he gave $5000 for a team of
park horses, $4800 for another pair and $10,000 for the
high stepper Red Cloud.

Just what the trotting string will accomplish is a
matter in which the horse world is takinj a great inter-
est The only ones in the lot that have already "made
good" are Boralma and Glory, each winning a good race
at Lexington last fall. Sagwa and Poindexter, two
green horses that have been named in a lot of early
closing stakes, were picked up at auction during the
winter, one costing $7100 and the other about $6000.
Sagwa comes from Missouri, but Charlie Tanner, of
Cleveland, introduced him into high priced circles and
is credited with having driven him in 2:10 Tanner can

Mr. Graham E. Babcock writes us that he will not

business, and he sent Sagwa into the New York ring

a fast horse, as he showed in his work last fall but the

horse business thoroughly.

chief feature of the program. There is to be a horse
show conducted very much on the same lines as the
ones formerly held at the Mechanics' Pavilion in this
city, where the well mannered carriage and park animal
will be the feature of the exhibition. Then it is pro-
posed to have a cattle show that will not be second to
anything ever held in California, and the excellent idea
of making the annual fair a great mart where stock
buyers from all over the Orient can come and see the
best that is produced on the Pacific Coast, will be
carried out as far as possible. There is to be polo and

CALIFORNIA HORSES AT AUCTION.

Death of Luther H. Titus.

From the Home of Neernut 2:12 1-4

Our Jack 2:13 1-2 Sells for $2150 In Chicago
and Others Brinff Good Prices.

When Dick Benson, the well known Kansas City horse-
man, was in California a few months ago he purchased at
very good prices a number of trotting horses that were con-
sidered by the horsemen here to be of the outclassed order.
They were invariably good lookers, however, and had speed
enough to show quarters and halves as fast as they ever
could, but they were not thought quite good enough to go
out and win in their classes.

That Mr. Benson knew the state of the horse market over
East and purchased animals that he saw a profit in is proven
'by the record of the Splan-Newgass sale which was held in
Chicago last week.

Our Jack, the high stepping trotter owned by W. J. Irvine
of Sacramento, bred at the Oakwood Stock Farm, sired by
Steinway and driven to a record of '2:13} at Santa Rosa in
1898 by James Sullivan, was one of the horses purchased by
Mr. Benson. He brought (2150 at the Chicago sale and was
purchased by Henry Eck, of Cleveland, Ohio. Our Jack is
a very handsome horse, a bold fast trotter with plenty of
knee and hock action. He could probably reduce his record
with careful training, and as a park horse would rank high.

Anita 2:17, the Jonio mare, purchased from R. H. Pear-
son of Hollister, brought $700 at the sale, the high bidder
being the representative of the London firm of P. Miller &
Co., and she will be shipped across the water.

Nick Russell, the sixteen hand brown gelding by Silas
tfkinner 2:17, was purchased by Col. G. B. Van Norman of
Chicago for $525. This horse is a good looking trotter with
considerable speed for a brush. He makes a very good road
horse, but would not cut a very big figure at racing.

Tip Tinons, the brown mare that made a record of 2:29 J-
at Marysville last spring and was afterwards in Monroe
Salisbury's string of unfortunates sold for $310 at Chicago
and was purchased by Timothy Holland of Kansas City.
She is by Antinous out of a mare by George M. Patcben 31,
and can probablv trot in 2:25 under favorable circumstances.

There were 400 horses sold during three days and the
average was $300 per head. Among the high priced horses
Bold were Aegon Star 2:11£, a trotter that brought $6000 He
is considered one of the handsomest young stallions in the
country. The buver was Col. John A. Cooper of Chicago.

Aragon K. 2:13£, a handsome seven year old black Btaliion
bv Adrian Wilkes, brought $3000; M, H. Tichenor, the New
York horse dealer, being the highest bidder.

Altro L., the black gelding bv Alcantarus, that took a
record of 2:11J last year brought $4200, and waB purchased
by James Golden, the well known horse trainer.

The sale shows the upward state of the horse market better
than all the articles that could be written in the horse papers
in a year. Good horses are worth good money and the
figures of the sales prove it.

$20,000 Stallion Stake Filled -Well.

The $20,000 Stallion Stake offered by the New England
Trotting Horse Breeders Association, and to be trotted this
year at Readville, received eleven entries or five more than
required by the conditions. The entries are as follows:

Benton M. 2:10 by Geo. Benton, 8. W. Marble, Wilkin-
sonville, Mass.

Charley Herr 2:10 by Alfred G., David Cahill, Lexing-
ton. Ky.

Cresceus 2:07£ by Robert McGregor, Geo. H. Ketchum,
Toledo.

Grattan Boy 2.08 by Grattan, Roy Miller, 8elma, Ala.

Idolita 2:12 by Mendocino, Maple wood Farm, Ports-
mouth, N. H.

Lecco 2:09$ by Bonnie Boy, J. H. Bradburv, Lynn, Mass.

Lord Vincent 2:08J by 8t. Vincent, C. P. Doble, YoungB-
town, Ohio.

Monterey 2.09J by Sidney, John E. Thayer, Lancaster,
Mass.

Peter the Great 2:07J hj Pilot Medium, Malcolm Forbes,
Boston.

Pilatus 2:09} by Onward, John Hossey, Louisville, Ky.

Poindezler, no record, by Abbotsford, Lawson Stable,
Boston.

This will be one of the greatest races of the year and will
attract a tremendous crowd to witness it. It will be noticed
tbat Monterey 2:09} has been Darned by Mr. Thayer of
Massachusetts. As Monterey will be in the sale at Cleve-
land week after next, it is probable that Mr- Thayer will be
a bidder and nominated the horse so as to not miss this great
race should be secure him. If Monterey is all right when
the race comes off, the horse that beats him will reduce his
record, even though it be Peter the Great.

Oolt Stakes to Close Next Tuesday.

Those who have two and three year old trotters and pacers
in training this vear should not forget that the California
State Agricultural Society is offering four good stakes for
them. There are stakes for two year old trotters and pacers,
in each of which the entrance is $30 and the Society adds
$200 to the stake. $300 is the amount added to the three
year old stakes, entrance to which are $50. The payments
are easy, it only costing $5 to enter and a person being liable
for no more, failure to pay the remaining installments simply
declaring the colts out. These stakes will be worth trotting
and pacing for, and with a reasonably generous entry list
will be quite valuable.

The Stanford Stake for foals of 1899 also closes May 15th,
next Tuesday. This was worth nearly $800 to the winner
last year and should be worth double that in 1902, when the
colts entered next Tuesday will trot. Entrance is only $5
and the total amount of entrance fee is but $50, divided into
many easy payments.

Our advice to all horse owners who have foals of 1899 is
to enter them in this stake as it will increase the value of
the colt, the mare and the Btaliion which sired it, therefore
helping the horse breeding business materially. Remember
the date — next Tuesday.

On the last day of April, there died at Pasadena, in this
State, at the age of 77 years, Luther H. Titus, one of the
best known horse breeders of the Pacific Coast. He bad
been ailing for several months past, dropsy finally causing
his demise. Mr. Titus had been a resident of California for
thirty years, owning a fine tract of land comprising several
hundred acres near San Gabriel, which was handsomely im-
proved and at one time a model stock farm. Dewdrop Farm
was the name given it by Mr. Titus, and in the fall of 1870
he went to New York and purchased from Jesse T. Seeley
the Btaliion Echo, son of Hambletonian 10, out of Fannie
Felter by Magnolia, a son of American Star. The first of
the get of Echo to .appear was Echora, who as a three year
old defeated the now great Beautiful Bells in a stake at the
8tate Fair. Echora afterwards took a record of 2:23£ and
then became the mother of Direct 2:05£. In 1880 Echo was
sold by Mr. Titos to J. B. Haggin, who owned him until his
death.

With the most limited opportunities Echo became tbe Bire
of 16 standard performers, and his blood courses in the veins
of many horses that have aided in bringing fame to Cali-
fornia as a horse breeding State, ten of his Bons and twenty
of his daughters being producers of speed.

Mr. Titus was also greatly interested in the running horse
and owned a formidable stable, visiting Saratoga and other
Eastern high class meetings every year in the days when
racing was a sport. He stood high in the community in
which he lived and bis death is regretted by all. He did
much in his life time to advance the livestock interest of
California, and in his death the State loses a citizen whose
efforts and intelligence laid the foundation on which many
have since achieved fortune, and who lived ''for the future
in the distance and the good that he could do."

America Must Furnish the Horses.

"Col. Ailsilie, representing tbe British Government,
arrived in New York laBt Saturday under orders of Lord
Wolseley, to secure horses for the British Army." Ihe
above dispatch came over the wires this week.

Col. Ailsilie referred to is a noted artillerist, who has been
in this country in the past three months, visi log breeding
farms and dealers and sizing the market up generally.

He returned to England four weeks ago, and reported that
while probably 20,000 horses of all grades could be (secured
in three months' time, the regulations governing the selection
of serviceable animals would have to be waiveH in certain
respects, as Canada and the United States combined could
not supply half the number of serviceable horses of the reg-
ular military standard necessary to complete the require-
ments of the war in South Africa.

It is known that the British War Office has scoured
Europe for suitable animals, and that the United States is
the last resource. The scarcity of good horses is the cause
of grave anxiety to the Britith Government, as the move-
ments of Lord Roberts' forceB in South Africa are retarded
for lack of proper transport facilities in the way of muleB
and "gunners."

At present there are 2000 mules and 500 horses at New
Orleans awaiting transportation to Cape Town, and on the
arrival of Col. Ailsilie some big Chicago and New York
firms will have ready 5000 head more for shipment.

Dealers say it will be impossible to procure 30,000 horses
in six months, as the local demand for good animals is far
and away in excess of the Bupply, but if the British Govern-
ment agents will not be too exact, animals of a hardy type
can be procured in the Western States that will be found

suitable for the work.

Marysville's Meeting.

When making out your itinerary for a campaigning trip
this year, you must remember that Marjsville, that live town
in Yuba county, ia decidedly on the horseman's map. Its
date is the week between Chico and Woodland and as it 1b
right on the road, horsemen should all Bee that they have a
few entries in the purses which have been hung up. The
2:12 and 2:17 trotters are given $500; tbe 2:11 and 2:14 pacers
the same. $400 ia hung up for 2:25 and 2:40 trotters and
2:20 and 2:30 pacers, and the three year olds at both gaits will
each race for $300 purses. Entries close July 2d. ThiB will
give all a chance and for the size of the town and the district
the purses are very liberal. Those who go to Marysville
will find an excellent track, good accommodations, and a
Board of Directors that will do everything possible to make
the time spent there pleasant. There is to be a fair as well
as a race meeting and prizes are to be given for all kinds of
live stock. Marysville will have one of the best fairs on the
Northern Circuit.

Some Changes in Woodland's Program.

The Directors of the Agricultural District No. 40 held a
meeting at Woodland last Monday evening and mrde several
changes in the race program for the meeting to be held the
last week in August. The 2:10 trot advertised was changed
to a 2:11 trot, the 2:17 to a 2:15 class, and the 2:35 trot to a
2:30 cIbbs. It was also decided to open a new purse of $600
for trotters of the 2:20 class. This should attract a big list of
entries and we think the 2:11 trot will also fill well. The
correct list of additional purses offered by the Woodland As-
sociation will be found in our advertising columns and the
entries to same will close July 2d, the opening day of the
Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa.

The Terre Haute Prize.

Those owning foals of 1899, should not forget that the
Terre Haute Prize is the last rieh stake left open for foal 3 of
last year, and it will close next Monday, May 14'h. Tbe
entrance fee is but $10 and nothing more will be due until
tbe year of the race- A small fortune awaits the owner of
Borne good colt, as $7500 goes to the winner of first money,
$1250 to second, $750 to third and $250 to fourth, while an
additional $250 goes to the nominator of tbe winner. It is
one of the most liberal purses ever offered, and should receive
the support of all owners cf good -colts. Remember that
entries close on May 14th and send your nominations to
Charles R. Duffin, Seoretary, Terre Haute, Ind.

Mr. Geo. W. Ford, owner of those two good trotters Neer-
nut 2:12} and his daughter Neeretta 2:11 J, writes us from
Santa Ana under date of May 7th, saying : "The Breeder
and Sportsman has been the cause of some high class mares
being sent to Neernut. Up to tbe present season Neernut
had never served a producing mare, or one with a record,
and only two that were standard bred. This year among
others he has been mated with Galette 2:12. Birdroe 2:11£,
Mabel McKinney 2:17, Gypsy, the dam of Gazelle 2:11$;
lone, a daughter of McKinney out of Gypsy; Baby Gift, the
dam of Hazel McKinney 2:12$; Concho, the dam of Reago,
and many other high bred mares. Four years from now the
Neernuts will surely be heard from. I have purchased a few
well bred mares this spring and now have nine broodmares
of my own. We had a very dry winter up to the last four
weeks, but have since had good rain". Our track got very
hard and Neeretta threw out a splint. I uBed the old remedy,
iodine, but the splint thrived under the treatment, so now it
Ib about the size of one of my Improved Soft Shell Wa.nuts,
and to-day I commenced treating it with my old never-fail
remedy for all horse diseases — kerosene. My green colls
have been on very poor salt grass pasture for the last two
years. They were taken up last December and now Bhow
lots of speed, but it is a question if they can be made strong
enough to stand racing this season. Neeretta raced last year
on three legs, so she should do as well this year.

Our Directors of the Santa Ana Association have been a
little slow about doing anything on account of the drought,
but now that we have at last had good rains, crops are look-
ing well, and feed plenty, the prospects are favorable for a
good fair and race meeting. The artesian wells ceased Sow-
ing on account of the lack of moisture. I put up a wind-
mill at my own expense, and we now have plenty of water
for the track. There are about twenty horses working here
and there will be more.

Now that tbe P. C. T. H. B. A. has put out such a splen-
did program, I have changed my intention of going East
and will try and buy a nomination or two in the green
classes throughout tbe northern circuit, and will enter Neer-
etta in her class.

Decision in the Sly Case.

The decision handed down by the stewards of the Western
Turf Association in the Sly case was made public last
Saturday. Dan Hsnlou, owner of Sly, discovered tbat the
mare had been "doped." A partial confession was secured
by Thorn a i Leeper. The findings are as follows:

"In tbe matter of the investigation made at the request of
Daniel M. Hanlon of the races of the mare Sly in March and
April, 1900, and the charges of doping and other crooked
work, implicating Cseiar Young, Thomas Leeper, W. C.
Harding, alias ?Red;'' George P. Moore, Lee Merritt, alias
"Blue Bells;" R'chard Roe, alias "Smiling Gimpy;" John
Doe. alias "The Kid," the Board of Stewards of the Western
Turf Association do find tbe charges in many respects to
have been well founded. The testimony is extremely volu-
minous and included much alien matter pertaining to other
than Tanforan race track, but is of such a character as to
show a general run of conspiracies decidedly inimical to
honest racing. Much of the testimony was obtained through
secret sources and under pledge of secrecy to the parties
testifying- The Board of Stewards has given the testimony
its proper weight, and after a most thorough canvass of all
the evidence do find that a conspiracy hostile to honest rac-
ing did exist, and that said conspiracy involved W. C. Hard-
ing, alias "Red;" George P. Moore, Lee Merritt, alias "Blue
Bells;" Richard Hoe, alias "Smiling Gimpy;" John Doe, alias
"The Kid;" tbat while our race track was not the main
center of their operations — only one instance of guilt being
proved on thiB track — yet the testimony conclusively proved
these parties to be a menace to honest racing on any track,
and that, therefore, all of said parties are hereby ruled off.

"In the case of Thomas Leeper, whose confession might
have otherwise given him immunitv, we do find said con-
fession to have been in many particulars incomplete and in-
consistent, and we do therefore suspend said Leeper pending
further investigation, and his case is therefore continued.

''That in the case of Caesar Young we do find nothing
sufficiently positive to judge him guilty of wrongdoing
herein."

Lexlnffton Program.

The Board of Directors of the Kentucky Trotting Horse
Breeders' Association have issued the following program for
this year:

Kentucky Futurity, for three year olds, $16,000; Futurity,
for two year olds, $6000; Traosvlvania, for 2:13 trotters,
$5000; Ashland, for 2:10 trotters, $3000; Walnut Hill Cup,
for 2:16 trotters, $3000; Tennessee, for 2:09 pacers, $3000;
Blue Grass, for 2:19 trotterB; Johnston, for 2:24 trotters;
WeBt, for 2:29 trotters; Kentucky, for three year olds; Lex-
ington, for two year olds; and Wilson, for 2:20 pacers, worth
$2000 each. The total amount hung up in stakes and purses
will be about $75,000. The purse events will be opened in
September, amounting to $25 000. The Transylvania Stake
has been reduced from $10,000, as it was last year, to $5000,
as in former years. One thousand dollars bave been clipped
oft the Tennessee Stakes for 2:09 pacers, and $500 each from
the West and tbe Johnston Stakes- These stakes close the
1st of June. The association will again enforce the rule

barring hopples.

The Greatest Traveler.

Probably the greatest traveled horse now owned in this
country is the Mambrino King Stallion Lord Thomas, owned
by Hay & Son of Ashville, Ohio. In charge of the superin-
tendent of Village Farm be went to most of tbe imperial
capitals of Europe. He was at Vienna, Austria; Berlin Ger-
many; 8t. Petersburg, Russie; Constantinople, Turkey, Copen-
hagen, Denmark, thence to Liverpool, England, then back to
the United Stales — Exchange.

We think'the stallion Ormonde now at Rancho del Paso, '
"lays it over" the Ohio stallion a little. He traveled from
England to Buenos Ayres in South America, made tbe re-
turn trip and then came to California. He has traveled
about 30.000 miles.

The Sulky.

Get ready for Santa Robs.

Good green ones are valuable.

Hester Diablo is tbe name claimed by R. P. M. Greeley

of Oakland, for a sorrel fi'ly foaled May 5th. This is a fine
large filly, sired by Diablo 2:09}, the dam being the fast
pacing mare Winnie Wilke=>. Tbe little miss began to show
tbe lateral gait as soon as on her feet. Her dam is kept busy
chasing her around the ten acre lot in which they run.

Stanford Stake closes Tuesday.

The early closing stakes filled well.

Napa has joined the procession and will give a good pro-
gram.

Harness racing is very much alive in California and pros-
pectB are bright.

$10,000 is the amount of the Terre Haute Prize. Enter
your 1899 foals in it. Entries close next Monday.

Denver is organizing a horse show association and will
give a show in the fall.

Monroe Salisbury will leave for Cape Nome about the
26th inst., on tbe steamer St. Paul.

Instead of a 2:25 trot, Vallejo will give a race for the
2:24 class trotters, II should get a big entry.

Kead the Colorado Springs' advertisement. The meeting
there will be held just prior to the Denver meeting.

Chico haB changed its 2:13 trot to a 2:12 trot, aoJ will get
more entries. Horsemen should make a note of this.

Jack Daly is trainiog in New York at the Empire track
the bay mare Elf 2:12£ by Sleinway out of Bertha, dam of
Diablo.

Roberts 2:09i is stepping quarters in 31 seconds at
Denver and has been entered in tbe 2:10 class all through
the East.

Andy McDowell has ridden faster behind a trotter than
any other driver as he marked Alix 2:03|. Will anybody
ride faBter this year?

For a sulky or a gent's nobby driving cart go to O'Brien
& Sons. They have a fine line in stock and are agents for
the celebrated Toomey.

Forty-six head of two and three year olds are being
trained at Marcus Daly's Bitter Root Farm. They are
mostly by Prodigal 2:16.

I. M. Lipson, of San Bernardino, wishes to claim the
name of " Zanut Wilkes" for a colt by Z)mbro 2:11, dam by
Goldnut with a trial of 2:29.

P. J. Williams went over to Lexington, Kentucky, last
week, and is getting Monterey 2:09} ready for the Cleveland
sale which opens on the 21st.

In anticipation of the drawing power of the $20,000
stallion race, bleachers to seat 4000 people are to be built at
the Breeders' track at Readville.

An opportunity to ship from one to five horses to Denver
and the East on or about May 28th, and obtain carload rate
can be had by applying at this office.

Don't forget the fact that high acting horses with the
proper conformation that can step fast bring big, yes, great
big prices in all the markets. Boodle 2:12} sires just such
horses.

No better investment can be made by a horseman when

getting ready for the circuit than a set of that $40 track

harness made by J. O'Kane, It will help win races and is
first class in every respect.

Pasonte is thought so highly of at Parkville Farm that
2:08 has been written opposite her name on the Farm books
with the qualification that if she don't get that mark this
year, the figures will be erased.

The Terre Haute Prize is guaranteed to be $10,000 and is
for foals of 1899, to be trotted in 1902. This rich stake
closes on Monday next, May 14lh. Don't fail to make an
entry in it. See the conditions in our advertising columns.

At a New York sale the other day the old California
trotter Iago 2:11 wassold for $300. Ryland T. 2:09J brought
but $220 at the same sale. Thus the old "haB beens" change
hands, and the scenes that knew them once know them no

W. J. Leet and C. A. Harrison, two prominent citizens of
San Jose, made a wager last Sucday as to the speed of their
respective steeds. The race was from St. James Hotel in
San Jose to Alviso and return, a matter of twelve miles. Mr.
Leel's horse won and the distance was covered by him in 59
minutes. The wager was a dinner for the two and a dozen
friends.

At the meeting of the Golden Gjte Park Driving Asso-
ciation to be held next Tuesday evening at the Palace Hotel,
a photographer will be present on behalf of the Breedeb
and Sportsman and a flishlight picture taken of the room
and members. The picture will be reprcduced in our edition
of May 26th to be devoted to tbe Association and its
members.

There is nothing which is more necessary than well
fitting boots that protect the parts they were made for. Well
made boots are ueceesary and it is also requisite that they
should be of first class material. John A. McKerron makes
only the best and they fit.

Robert J. 2:01 J, the fastest of New York road horses, ac-
cording to the records, was driven on the dav of the big
speedway parade this month by William C. Clarke, the
Mayor of Manchester, N. H., who is the guest of Lewis G.
Tewksbury, Robert J. 'a owner.

Hannah Price, dam of Lesa Wilkes 2:09, etc., by
Artburton, after being barren since 1896, foaled a fine colt a
few dayB ago at Marshland Farm, 8tony Ford, N. Y. The
colt was sired bv Kiosk, son of Kremlin. Hannah Price will
this season be bred to Advertiser, 2:15}.

One of the handsomest foals in the SalinaB valley is a
blood bay filly with black points owned by Paul Eianchi of
Goozales. The little miss is by Dictatus 2:10} out of a Junio
mare and is a square trotter. Mr. Bianchi has bred the
mare back to Dictatus. — Salinas Journal.

The two fast pacers by Direct that Mr. Chas. Griffith
owns and had in Bert Webster's care at Pleasanton went
East in tbe Keating-Sanders car. The one out of Nola by
Nutwood will be sold at tbe Cleveland sale, the other out of
Bon Bon by Simmons is in Keating's string and will be
raced. He is well entered in the pacing classes.

One of the best drawing cards at any race meeting is the
prompt announcement of time and results. The Hess im-
proved automatic time announcer is the best thing ever used
in a timer's stand. See the cut of it in our advertising
columns. Secretaries should send for one and have it ready
for the races this Bummer. It works to perfection.

Tom Keating took East with him Anaconda 2:03}, Kla-
tawah 2:05i and the four year old bv Direct out of Bon Bon.
The latter is entered in many rich events on the Grand
Circuit. Keating will also have charge of several horses
belonging to East View Stock Farm. John Blue accom-
panied tbe horses and will be chief caretaker of the string
during the campaign.

Frank Irvington ib the name of a handsome and well
bred son of Nutwood Wilkes 2:16£ now standing at Lima,
Ohio, where he is owned by D. J. Cable, a prominent attor-
ney of that place. Frank Irvington is a bay, nearly 16 hands
high and weighs about 1200 pounds. His dam waB Nettie
G. by Anteeo, second dam Queen by Venture. He was bred
by Martin Carter at Irvington 8tnck Farm.

Gov. Sprague 2:20}, sire of the dam of McKinney 2:11},
has made a magnificent showirg for a horse that lived hut a
little over 11 years and made but four or five seasons in the
stud, if indeed, he msde that n.any. He is the sire of 38
standard performers, his sons have sired S3 and his daughters
have produced 43, a total of 164 standard performers in tbe
first and second generations and the list will receive many
additions yet.

The fastest mile worked by a green trotter in California
this year as far as we have heard was trotted by McBriar, a
son of McKinney, at tbe Alameda track last Saturday.
Billy Donatban held the reins and the mile was made in 2:14}
without the horse being urged to his limit. There have been
many prophecies by those who have seen McBriar at his
work this year that he would be a 2:12 trotter before the year
is over, and as it looks now he may get in the 2:10 list with
good lack.

The chestnut horse, The Earl 2:17 bv Mambrino King,
out of Princess Royal by Chimes, that Geers has regarded
as a great candidate for the 2:15 trotting classes, has shown
Buch a stroDg dislike to the trotting gait in his work at Louis-
ville that he has been permitted to take the pacing gait, and
it is said that he gives every promise of becoming a pacer of
the whirlwind order. As the Village Farm stable was short
on pacers, The Earl's change of gait is probably not re-
gretted much.

A banquet was tendered T. E. Keating and Millard
Sanders last Thursday evening at the Rose Hotel in Pleasan-
ton prior to their leaving for the East — Keating with a cam-
paigning stable, Sanders with a consignment to the Cleveland
sale. County Supervisor T. D. Wells presided at the tables
and acted as tonstniaster, and a most enjoyable evening was
spent by those present. About fifty of the leading citizens
of Pleasanton and a number of sojourning horsemen were in
attendance.

Now that the Keotuckians have concluded to use sons of
Electioneer in the stud, they Beem to want to gather up all
the sons of that horse and leave the rest of the country with-
out any. Hummer, Expedition, Mazatlan, Belsire, Electric
Bell, Cecilian, Electrician and Gov. Pacheco are doing ser-
vice in Kentucky now, and a Kentuckian has been trving to
buy Candidate, a son of Electioneer, now located in Ten-
nessee. As Kentucky was for years the home of a large
number of tbe best Bons of George Wilkes it is not difficult to
foresee that the Wilkes Electioneer cross will be found in
the majority of Kentucky pedigrees within the next few
years. — The Horse World.

Andv McDowell, who is training a string of horses for
Mr. Schult, proprietor of the Parkville Farm, has a three
year old in his care that he thinks is the best green one that
ever happened. It has the peculiar name of Fliess and is by
Director out of Naney Stam, daughter of Stamboul 2:07 A and
Nancy Lee, the dam of Nancy Hanks 2:04 If there is any-
thing in a double cross of the stout Dictator blood Fliess
certainly ought to be a race horse of the first class. "He's
the best Director any man ever pulled a line over," is the
way McDowell describes Fliess. "He's not entered anywhere
this seaBon, and be won't be if I can help it. I drove him an
easy quarter in 0:34 the other day, and now I'm advising
Mr. Schult to lay him up for a year. He's good enough to
keep until fully matured."

Napa will give a fair and race meeting this year, and
every horseman in California is pleased with the announce-
ment. Napa's track is one of the noted ones in America.
Although it holds but a few records it is known to be one of
the fastest and safest in the State, and all the trainers like to
race over it. The stalls and other accommodations at Napa
are first claes, while tbe climate is that happy medium be-
tween the Coast and interior that suits horses from both
sections. The first yearling that ever beat 2:30, Freedom,
son of Sable Wilkes, made his record over the Napa track in
1890, driven by the late John Goldsmith. The track has
been the scene of some of the most hotly contested races ever
saen in California. No fair has been held at Napa for three
years but now that a State appropriation of $2100 is available
and $1000 has been subscribed by the oitizene of the town,
the fair this year will be one of the best ever held there.
The new board of directors in composed of some of Napa's
best business men, viz.: G. W. Htrohl. J. S.Taylor, E. 8.
Bell, Arthur Brown, D. 8. Kyser, Charles Welti and G.
W. Berry and they are sll at work in earnest. The race
program will be out soon and it will be a good one. The
fair will follow the Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa.

Each year it becomes more and more evident that no
breed of horse is adapted to as many kinds of services ss the
American trotter, says an exchange. While he is practically
a special purpose horse, his power, nerve force, stamina and
intelligence are so great that upon an equal basis be can com-
pete successfully with any other special purpose horse, no
matter what his specialty. He is bv far the greatest light
harness horse ever produced. Of recent years he has demon-
strated his superiority over tbe special purpose carriage and
coach horses. While among the special draft horses, take
pound for pound, and the trotting bred horse will kill any
other at his own game.

W. J. Irvine, proprietor of the Pacific 8tables at 1122
Second street, Sacramento, purchased a big chestnut gelding
at the last October sale of the Occidental Horse Exchange.
He is called Talisman and is by Steinway, dam Woodline by
Woodout. Mr. Irvine thinks he is the coming trotter, as he
came through the stretch last Monday at tbe Sacramento
track in 35 seconds. Mr. Irvine formerly owned Our Jack
2.13A, and says this fellow can step fully as high a? that
horse and is one of the finest looking geldings in tbe State.
He stands 16£ hands high and weighs 1125 pounds. Mr.
Irvine says he is a better horse than Our Jack and believes
he will lower the California record if nothing goes wrong
with him.

It has been decided that Stockton shall have a fair this
year. It will be a hummer, too. A real old-fashioned
county fair, as men and women who live only in tradition on
this subject, and as they are depicted on the stage, recall
them, will be given here this year. So much is agreed on.
The members of the Driving Club have had many confer-
ences with leading people and have agreed to go on with the
work. In this they have had much encouragement. The
lease to the track will be renewed. The old fair directors
have made many concessions and offer many inducements.
There is little doubt that the business men of the citv and
property holders gejerally will liberally encourage the enter-
prise financially and give it willing and active support. The
races and the fair will be worthy of the city in every wa7. —
Stockton Mail.

A very important change of horses occurred on the
speedway one afternoon last week. Mr. A. B. Gwathmey
gave his green mare Salient, which has shown ability to trot
close around 2:15, and $600 for Charles Weiland's handsome
chestnut mare Lurna McGregor, a four year old green one.
Mr. Gwathmey wanted the mare to drive to pole with Louise
Mac 2:09£, for whom she is a splendid match in size and
color. Lorna McGregor is a four year old by Elyria, dam
by Robert McGregor. Last fall, at Cleveland, she showed a
half mile on the Cleveland track in l:06i. She was pur-
chased by the Bernheimer brothers of this city for $1250,
and at this dispersal sate of their horses a few weeks since
by W. D. Grand, at the American Horse Exchange, she was
bought by Mr. Bernheimer for $750. Mr. Bernheimer has
agreed to keep Salient for four weeks, within which time
Mr. Gwathmey can have her returned to him for $500 if he
bo desires. — Trotter and Pacer.

Horbemen will regret generally that The Monk 2:08}, in
the Village Farm stable, has gone wrong in bis preparatory
work at Louisville, Ky. Last season The Monk was given
a long rest and Geers was confident when he took him up
last fall that he would stand another preparation and cam-
paign and when he left the Jewettville track for Louisville
with his stable, a few weeks ago, he was enthusiastic over the
way The Monk had taken his work. As will be remem-
bered, The Monk took bis record in 1898 as a four year old.
The Abbot, that has since gained a record of 2:06}, was also
a four year old that year, and he closed that season with a
record of 2:11}. The Monk was much the faster of the pair
of four year olds and Geers felt conSdent that had he re-
mained sound he would have beaten all Village Farm trot-
ting records. It is a genuine misfortune that the son of
Chimes has again gone wrong before he could take a record
somewhere near the true measure of his spe~d.

There is a seven year old gelding by Dexter Prince out at
Cassidv's in Hans Frellson's care, that some horseman ought
to secure to race on the circuit. He is a powerfully built
short legged horse with no end of gameness, and though not
in actual training has been jogged for the past four months
and can show a quarter on the speedway in 35 seconds any
day. He is called Prince Howard. Last year Prince
Howard was trained some, trotting a trial mile in 2:20, but
his owner could not afiord to race him, so turned him out
and did not enter him. The dam of this eelding is Norma,
the dam of Grandee 2:23J, and Grandissimo 2:23J, by Arthur-
ton, second dam famous old Norm&haul, full sister to A. W.
Richmond. Prince Howard is sound as a dollar, level
headed, was not broke or driven until he was nearly five
years old and is one of the best prospects we know of for a
winner in the green classes. He is in splendid shape to be-
gin racing in July if work can be begun on him now. His
owner is not able to train or enter him, but will lease the
horse to a responsible party, or sell him at a reasonable
price. Apply at this office.

Mr. W. O. Foote writes the Horse Review as follows
concerning tbe weight problem: "I have noticed several
times in your department, articles regarding tbe weight ques-
tion, and time and hard work only kept me from answering
some of them. But when such a bright man as Mr. H. D.
McKinney comes out and says he wants a definite minimum
for sulkies, I must have my say anyway. First, I think tbe
weight rule is all right, for tbe following reasom: The
majority of drivers weigh 150 pounds, and should some few
light men fall short, it is no more than fair that they should
carry enough weight to make equal the average 150 pounds.
The idea that a bike will carry 175 pounds and pull as easy
as it will carrying 150 pounds or lees, is absurd. No device
on earth will pull two pounds as easy as it will one — except
going down bill. I will take one of two horsen, with equal
speed and endurance, and beat any man on earth that
weighs 175 pounds who drives the other horse. On the other
hand, a sulky must necessarily be built stronger and heavier
to carry a man weighing 175, than a man weighing 125
pounds. Therefore a regulation weight for sulkies would be
all bosh. So far as avoiding wrecks with sulkies is con-
cerned, no sulky of any reasonable weight will stand a
collision of any dangerous nature. No, by all means Irt the
rule alone. Were weight abolished you would handicap
fifty drivers of regulation weight, and over, to ace
possibly five featherweight drivers."

j SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS is the sum guaran-
teed by the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Asso-
ciation for a stake for the foals of mares bred in 1900,
to trot or pace as two year oldB in 1903, and
as three year olds the following year. Never in the
history of the Pacific Coast has such a sum of money
been offered for colt trotters, and the Breeders Associa-
tion deserves the thanks of every person who owns a trot-
ting bred horse. It is these rich stakes that make trot-
ting foals valuable, as the earning capacity of a colt has
much to do with the price that can be secured for him.
This stake, which is called the Pacific Breeders Futurity
Stake, is conditioned so that it should be one of the most
popular colt stakes ever inaugurated. The cost for nam_
ing a mare bred this year is but $3, and at this small
amount for entry, every mare bred to a standard horse
on this Coast should be entered. When the foal is
dropped, but $5 additional will be required to name iti
and from that on to the time of racing the payments are
small and far apart. Both trotters and pacers are pro"
vided for and there are good stakes for the two year olds
and three year olds. The nominator of the mare whose
foal wins any of the four events, gets a goodly sum, and
the owner of the stallion whose get wins either of the
three year old events, will get a generous slice of the
stake. There are more chances to get money out of this
stake than any futurity stake we have ever seen. The date
for closing entries to this big prize has been set for Sep"
tember 1st, and by that time nearly every mare will
have been bred. The Trotting Horse Breeders Associa-
tion has done much to keep alive the interest in the
breeding and racing of trotting and pacing horses during
the paBt few years of depression, but it never inaugurated
anything that will be of more value to horse owners or
that should more promptly meet the approval and endorse-
ment of breeders. The conditions of this $6000 stake
appear in our advertising columns to-day. Read them

THE CIRCUIT IS ARRANGED as far as Tanforan.
The Breeders Association will open the ball at Santa

Rosa, on July 2d, with a program of trotting and pacing over and tell us what you think of the stake.
events lasting six days. This will be Fourth of July ___________

week and although the Breeders have held very success; THE BREEDERS SANTA ROSA PROGRAM IS

ful meetings during the past two years at Santa Rosa announced in our advertising columns and from one end

they will pale by comparison with the grand one to be of the State to the other, yea from Oregon and Wash-

given this year. After Santa Rosa the horsemen will
move 35 miles to Napa, where District No. 25 will hold
one of its old time fairs and race meetings, with an
agricultural and stock as well as pavilion exhibit.
There will be harness and running racing, the purses for
which will be announced by next week. From Napa it
is but 15 miles to Vallejo, the Navy Yard town, where
another district fair is to be held and the harness race
program for which appearB in our columns to-day. At
Vallejo the runners will be provided for as well as the
trotters, the purses to be announced later. From Vallejo
the jump will be to Colusa, where the first meeting on
the Northern California circuit will be held. This is the
only long haul on the route and that is leBS than 100
miles. From Colusa the horsemen will go to Willows,
thence to Red Bluff, the most northerly point reached,
then back to Chico, then to MaryBville, then to Wood-
land and from there to the State Fair at Sacramento,
where the meeting will as usual last two weeks. On all
the northern circuit, the race programs are very similar,
there being two harness and two running events each
day. At each agricultural and live stock displays will be
made, and as the whole northern part of the State is in
a very prosperous condition this year, every one of these
fairs should be a success. The State Fair will be one of
the best in years, and there is no doubt but the live
stock display will exceed anything ever before seen in
Sacramento. After the State Fair, the Stockton fair will
be held and then will come Tanforan's big horse
show and live stock exhibit, with harness and polo
pony racing, etc., to last two weeks. San Jose's
fair and race meeting, the fair at Salinas and other
places will be on dates to be hereafter selected and an-
nounced. On the northern circuit a number of stakes

ington, come reports that the horsemen are at work
putting their trotters and pacers in shape so they will
know what to enter on June 15th. when the entries
close. It is fortunate for all concerned that the splendid
track at Santa Rosa was selected for the Breeders meet-
ing. The track, recently covered with a coating of new
earth, is one of the most perfect in the State, the box
stalls and other accommodations are first class, the climate
not to be excelled, and the people of the district en
rapport with the idea of the meeting being held there.
No better place could have been selected to start the
circuit, as Santa Rosa is within easy reach by two rail-
road lines of all parts of the State. Now that the pro"
gram is out, we hope the horse owners will make an
extra effort to see that every race on the program fills,
The classes were formed by the speed committee after
mature consideration, and were not made to favor any
horse or horses, owner or owners. It is impossible to please
every one of course, but we think this program will give
satisfaction to as many as any one that could be
arranged. The trotting and pacing horBe owners who
insist that their horses should not start in races faster
than their records in very many instances stay out of the
very races where they have an opportunity to win the
moBt money. The program offered by the Breeders is
a generous one. There is about $15,000 hung up and as
Santa Rosa will be filled with people during Fourth of
July week, horseman may look for the largest attendance
Been on a trotting track in California for some time. Let
it be the aim of everyone interested in harness horse
affairs to assist in making the Santa Rosa meeting a big
success this year, and if each does his part he can rest
assured that the values of California horses will be en-
hanced and that harness racing, the leading sport and

for harness horses have already closed with good liBts of pastime of the American people, will resume the place

entries. There are many more purses yet to close at all in California it once occupied and our State vie with the

tl ese places, and we ask the horsemen to carefully look leading horse centres of the East as the home of the

■er the many advertisements already in our columns fastest and best harness horses bred in the world.

HERE IS A CHANCE to get a well mannered horse
at your own price. ChaBe & Mendenhall, the leading
live stock auctioneers, advertise in our paper to-day a
sale of high class hackneyB, coach, carriage, road and
saddle horses. There are over twenty good animals in
this lot consigned by different owners. Many of them
are suitable for ladies or children to drive, and have
been so driven. There are saddle horses that have been
ridden in the Burlingame hunts and carriage horses that
have taken first prizes at the horse show. Besides this
lot of thoroughly mannered horses a consignment of
twenty-five head of driving and work animals will be
offered. The date is next Tuesday, May 15th, at the
yards, corner Van Neas avenue and Market street.

TERRE HAUTE will give two race meetings this
year — one the first week in July, the other in September.
Entries to the fall meeting close next Monday, May
14th. There are two purses of $5000 each for 2:20 trot-
ters arjd 2:1S pacers besides four purses of $1500 each
for other classes. The July meeting has a rich lot of
purses and entries to it do not close until June 4th-
The stake that all California owners should enter in,
however, is the Terre Haute Prize, a $10,000 guaranteed
stake for foals of 1S99, to be trotted in 1902. Entries
for this close Monday next. Read over the conditions
in our advertising columns and make as many entries as
you have foals of last year.

AT DENVER AND COLORADO SPRINGS there
will be three weeks of good racing for harness horses
and runners, beginning at the latter place the last week
in May and closing at Denver, June 23d. The list of
purses offered for harness horses at these two places is
published in our advertising columns and should attract
a large number of entries from horsemen going East
There will be several stables of harness horses leave
California for Denver within the next two weeks.
Many runners have already gone and more are going
Entries for Denver and Colorado Springs close next
Tuesday, the 15th inst. Don't miss making your entries
if you intend making the trip.

DON'T FORGET the colt stakes offered by the State
Agricultural Society for two and ;three year old trotters
and pacers, which close May 15th next. These are
breeder's stakes, with liberal conditions and give you a
chance to win money with your young horses. These
stakes have been generally easily won and do not con-
flict with the later closing purses which are harder con-
tests. Enter your two or three year olds in these stakes
and stand to win a rich stake on a small entrance fee.
Send your entries to Peter J. Shields, Secretary.

THE BREEDING SEASON is not yet over, but has
progressed sufficiently to justify the prediction that the
crop of foals of 1901 will be much larger than for the
past few years but not as large as in the palmy days of
harness horse breeding in California. There is a scarcity
of broodmares, and a big demand for good mature
horses. Breed your mares this year before it is too late.
The top price for horses will catch the foals of 1901 in
their three and four year old form.

DON'T OVERLOOK THE FACT that entrance to
the Stanford Stake to be trotted at the California State
Fair in 1902, closes May 15th next. Be sure to enter
your trotting bred yearlings in this stake. It is cheap
and promises to be a rich one to the winner. All foals
of 1899 eligible. Enter them. It adds to their value,
advertises your farm or stallion, and puts you in the way
of winning a large stake. Send your entry to Peter
J. Shields, Secretary. First payment to enter only $5.

THE SUPERVISORS of Solano county have appro-
priated $1000 to help defray the expenses of the county
fair to be held in Vallejo during the week beginning
July 16th. This action ib worthy of emulation by every
Board of Supervisors in the State. The district fair can
be made a great advertiser and money maker for the
county or district where held, and if the State and
county money is judiciously expended it will bring in
ten dollars to the district for every dollar expended.

IMPORTED LOYALIST, the thoroughbred stallion
by The Marquis will be sold at auction next Tuesday by
Chase & Mendenhall. He is a loyally bred horse and
was brought here from Australia. He has sired such
horses as Philip H., Dunboy and Combermere. He is a
dark bay stallion in full strength and vigor and should
be a valuable horse for any stock farm.

The returns are all in from the associations on the Northern
California Circuit with the exception of Colusa (which by
some mistake failed to reach ns, although a big list has been
received there) and they show that there will be some high
class racing on the trucks above Saoramento this year. All
the leading stables that have green horses are represented,
and we have already heard of several who failed to enter in
time who are in the market to buy a nomination or two. At
all these places the nominators in these events must name
their horses July 2d, which is the opening day of the
Breeders meeting, and as the horses are to be eligible at
noon that day, records made thereafter will not be a bar to
any of them. The list of nominators at the fonr places

and its members in which many beautiful views of Golden
Gate Park, the Speedway, and horses owned by members will
be printed. It will be a boc

show the horse ownerB of other states that here in San Fran-

as ever pulled a line over a trotter or pacer, or engaged in a
brush for the lead.

a record of 2:30 What makes the penalty of 5 seconds on
the pacer, and what is the cause or reason for it ?

Answer-It is for purposes of registration that horses are
classed this way. Pacing has always been considered natur-
ally a faster gait than the trot, and the Ameiican Register
Association makes the pacer's speed for registration purpoees
five seconds faster than the trotters, as that was considered a
fair standard. There is no distinction made in racing,
except as to gaits. A pacer cannot start in a trotting race!
neither can a trotter start in a pacing race. Star Pointer
1:59J is eligible to any trotting event from the free for all to
the green class, but he would have to trot or be ruled out.

Nettlea that Kill Horses.

The Agricultural Department at Washington will make
an investigation of the qualities of the nettles growing on
the islands west of Stockton, which, on pricking the skins of
horBes and other animals, cause their death in about four
hours if prompt attention is not given the sfflicted animals.
The request for samples of the poisonous weed in its several
stages of growth was made of Frank E. Lane and Ralph
Lane, who are large land-owners on the islands where the
nettles grow rank.

Several horses were killed by the plantB this year, and the
Government will see what can be done to alleviate the Buffer-
ing of animals coming in contact with the nettles, and also
to lessen the casualties.

As soon as a horse is stung it will apparently become mad
a ttack men and horses. It is also quite difficult to get them
out of the nettlee as soon as the poison begins to take effect

Lieutenant Gibson Wins OI ark Stakes.

On Thursday, the 3d inst., Lieutenant Gibson was an easy
winner of the Kentucky Derby and his share of the stake
was $5000. Just one week later he made his owner, C. H.
Smith of Chicago, $3500 richer by winning for him the
Clark Stakes at a mile and an eighth. He had to carry 127
pounds, but he equalled the track record for the distance,
1:54 flat. Lieutenant Gibson promises to be the sensational
three year old of the year, as his marvelous speed and endur-
ance enable him to run his races to suit himself. In his two
appearances thus far be has gone right out and made the
pace, winning in track record time.

The St. Louis Globe Democrat says: F. W. Brode looks

Walker says he will be given a long rest, and Timemaker,
who is all out after hie California campaign, will probably be
turned out.

Tom Sharkey, the sailor pugilist, has made a most
successful debut on the Eastern tracks as a horse owner. On
Saturday last Mb BDrinter Hesper downed a fair field very

The California Jockey Club Stewards have reinstated
Jockey Coburn, who was set down early in the season for
what the judges regarded as a bad ride. He left for New
York to ride for VV. B. Jennings, who has a large stable.
Jennings, having a wide circle of acquaintances among the
ownere, will be able to secure some desirable mounts for the
young California^.

W. T. Kobinpon has registered with Messrs. Weatherby,
in London, the following names for American bred two year

Glen; Dangerous, for bav filly by Leonatus, dam The Widow;
Chance Shot, for brown filly by Hindoo, dam imp Richochet;
E. M. P., for chestnut filly by Hindoo, dam The Niece, and
Idaho, for brown filly by Hindoo, dam Meriden.

Green B. Morris, Arthur Featherstone and several
other owners who will race at the Morris Park meeting will
go to Chicage after the Morris Park meeting closes. Mr.
Morris will take Modrine, Pupil, Goldone and several others
to Hawthorne, and the two latter are candidates for the
American Derby. Mr. Featherstone will not send Mesmerist
to Chicago, but will keep him in the East to fill his stake
engagements.

Mr. James R. Keene Bailed for England last week, where
he expects to remain until after the Derby shall have been
run at Epsom. Although his departure was rather sudden
it was not unexpected, as it is understood Mr. Keene has re-
ceived advices from his English trainer that his Domino colt
Disguise, dam imp Bonnie Gal has been doing so well in his
work that he has quite a look in for the great classic event of
all England and the world besides.

The records of the American jockeys riding in I'ngland
t.re something remarkable. Sloan leads his countrymen and
the craft. His percentage of winning mounts is about 33 per
cbdc. Sloan's name does not figure so often as Martin and
the Kiefls, but that is because he does not accept as many
mounts. Rigbey, Martin and the Reiffc are among the first
ten who are at the head of the winning list. Of the Ameri
can jockeys Eddie J onus alone is to be heard from.

The Btring of W. B Jennings, thirteen in number, which
includes Briar Sweet and the crack sprinter, Bendoran, ar-
rived safely at the Sheepshead Bay track recently. Daisy
F., a four year old mare, who has won many races at the
California tracks during the past winter and was recently
purchased by W. C. Whitney, waB with the Btring until they
reached Ogden, Dakota. There she was seized with a car
fit, and had to be taken from the car and left there.

Billy Randall has gone to Montana. He is going
North to see wbat can be done in the way of having snme
racing. Already he has the track at Great Falls at his dis-
posal. Captain Couch, the proprietor of it, who is now
stopping at the Palace, gave Mr. Randall permission to use
the course the other day. The track is in good shape, and a
meeting can be given with very little expense- Mr. Randall
hopes to be able to hold a short meeting at Butte before the
season is over.

The Blue Grass Btakes, valued at $1300, for three year
olds, was the principal race at Louisville last Monday.
Owing to the rains of Saturday night and Sunday, which left
the track muddy and sticky, half of the entries were drawn.
The race proved a good one for the three which finished in
front, a half length separating GrayleBP, the winner, from
Love's Labor, which was a half length in front of Celeritus,
the favorite. The time, 1:21 V , waB excellent, considering
the condition of the track.

Jockey Charles Ballard has signed to ride for Wil-
liam Hendrie, the well known and popular Canadian turf-
man. The contract calls for Ballard to do 108 pounds. Mr.
Hendrie is confident of duplicating bis victory of last year in
the Queen's Plate, the star event of the Toronto meeting.
When Butter Scotch carried Mr. Hendrie's colors to the
front in this event he was the proudest man in Canada. He
said it gave him more pleasure to see a colt of bis win (he
Queen's Plate than it did to win the Futurity with Martimas.

The victory of Diamond Jubilee in the Two Thousand
Guineas completes for the Prince of Wales a sequence in the
classic races on the fiat and across counlry that no otber
owner has ever obtained. Curiously enough, all his victories
have been achieved within the last five years, previous to
which fortune refused to smile on him. Diamond Jubilee
will find plenty of Derby adherents for being by St. Simon,
o it of Perdiia IF., by Hampton, he is a full brother to Per
simmons, who took the race for H R. H. in 1896. Democrat
met Diamond Jubilee twice last year on portions of the same
course as the Guineas is run over. On the first occasion the
American, in receipt of three pounds, beat th« English horse
half a length over six furlongs. On the second, when asked
to run a furlong further, he emphasized his superiority by
conceding a pound and winning by three parts of a length.

Edmdnd Tattersall, the famous auctioneer of thor-
oughbred horses and head of the firm of Tattersalle, aged 85
years, died in London March 5th. Edmund Tattersall en-
tered the famous firm, at the "Corner," in 1851, having pre-
viously been in business on his own account at Newmarket,
says the Telegraph. After Richard Tattersall's death,
Edmund Tattersall hecame the chief representative of the
family. In 1865 he built the commodious premises at
Albert Gate, where the business has been carried on for the
last thirty years. His speeches at the commencement of the.
sale were always models, and his humorous remarks and the
smart repartee with which he enlivened the proceedings
ware always in good taste.

Cincinnati Enquirer: The outlook for the local racing
game this season has not been better in the past decade than
at present. The interest taken in the sport of kings by
others than the regulars is noticeable. Inquiry as to the
dates and prospects is made daily by those who go to the
races as a pastime and not a busineEB. The quality of sport
promises to be of a kind that will suit the moat exacting.
Evenly balanced fields of good class are promised for the
application for etable room at both Latonia and Newport.
All the prominent stables racing in the Middle West will
have repretentatives at the coming meetings. The alterna-
ting dates assures the staying of these etables during the
thirty-nine days' sport at both tracks.

J. R. Hand, a Western owner, whose picturesque make-
up is known to every visitor to the Aqueduct track, has been
the bane of owners of selling platers since the meeting
opened, says the N. Y. Times. Whenever his horse, Dutch
Comedian, finished in the money the winner was "boosted"
when put up at auction. A few days ago he raised one of
"Charley" Dwyer's horses several hundred dollars, and
failed to get » cent for his trouble. After Posthaste won,
Mr. Hand raised him from $600 to $1300. The colt was
bought in by its owner, O. L. Richards, and Mr. Hand,
through the ownership of Dutch Comedian, which ran
second, made $350 out of the Bale, and got $70 for running
second. For winning Posthaste's portion was $300, but it
cost his owner $705 to retain him, making the victory net
him a loss of $405.

Suit has been brought against the Tanforan Racing Asso-
ciation by W. W. Miller for the recovery of $25 which he
claims is due him on a winning bet of $5 which he placed
on Maydine on April 17th last. Miller claims that he gave
his $5 to Frank McCluakey, one of the pool boys, who dis-
appeared with it and, returning Boon after, took a similar bet
from Mrs. Rose, wife of Geo. Rose, the bookmaker, to whom
he afterwards retuined the ticket. Miller had been in the
habit of allowing the boys to keep the tickets nntil after the
race and so he did not ask for the coupon for his bet. After
the race had been run, the complaint alleges, the boy went
to Mrs. Rose and paid her her winnings, $25 to $5 for one
bet of $5, and then he told Miller he had not had a chance
to bet the $5 and so could only return the money given him.
Miller demanded his bet, claiming that bets made after his
had been paid, and he brought the matter before the officers
of the association. His claim was that they were responsible
for the action of the pool boy. He received do satisfaction
in that quarter and so he has brought suit through his attor-
ney, Arthur M. Currie, for the amount be claims was paid
the pool boy and which he has not received.

The Euramer Dog.

I've a friend 'ats got a dog.

By nhself 'ith 'is paws,
'N' goes off 'n' stays away
Somers fer 'bout three weeks ma'be,
'Nen comes home agen some day.

G ue-s 'at dog 'as got more friends aroun'

'At knows 'im same as me,

'Cause he's such a friendly yowler,

'N' talk about big— say, gee—

He'sa big striped, yaller feller,

'N' heavy as a man,

Jumps 'roun' like a cow or sompin'

Bark— you bet 'e can.

My friend 'at owns 'im says 'e wishes

'At I'd take 'im home,

But, gaily he's a nawful eater,

OughLersee im knaw a bone.

'Ey alius haf to keep a watchin'

'At Val doesn't run away,

'Nen at las' he skips 'n' fools 'em

'T 'e alius comes back agen some day.

The Kennel Olub Benoh Show.

A gratifying feature anent the fourth annual bench show
of the Sao Erancisco Kennel Club, is the fact that when the
doors closed last Saturday evening the management found
themselves on the right side of the ledger, this being some*
what of a reversal of past cash results — the show itself was a
satisfactory one both to the fancy and public. Much is
due to the experience of Mr. David Sinclair who was
the clerk and afterwards officiated as Bing Steward.
Mr. J. C. Langenderfer is to be congratulated upon
the clever manner in which he met the many duties
falling to him in his initial capacity as Superintendent.
The box office and gate were operated under a new system
devised by Mr. J. P. Normao, who was one of the hardest
worked members of the Bench Show Committee. We were
pleased to see Secretary H. H. Carlton again taking an active
interest in the progress of a bench show and looking in first
class health and spirits. To Messrs. Kittle, Hickman,
Greenebaum and Eppinger is due a mead of praise for their
share in bringing the Bhow to a successful termination. The
benching under the supervision of Mr. Banks, the Coast
representative of Spratt's Patent, was all that could be
desired.

The American Kennel Club Stud Book, Volume 16 for
1899 is now ready for delivery to subscribers. While the
work is 200 pagea larger than Volume 15, there is no varia-
tion from the stud book of 1898 in the contents or arrange-
ment of the present volume.

8an Fbajjcisco, May 8, 1900.
Editok Bbeedeb and Sportsman — Bear Sir: In justice
to the show, the Judge and myself permit me to call your
attention to the awards to Irish Water Spaniels. By an
error in the catalogue the following dogs: Ch Dan Maloney,
Dennis C. and Robert Emmett appeared in the limit class
when they should have been in th j open. The only dog
properly in the limit class was Kid Maloney, owing to this
mistake in the catalogue they were all judged in the limit
class. When I called the attention of the committee to the
mistake later on they promptly re-judged the class, giving
Ch. Dan Maloney first in open, first in winners and special
for best, Dennis C- second in open, Robert Emmett absent.
Kid Maloney first in limit. Phil Roach third in novice.
Belle Marsh first in open. Fanny Marsh first in limit. Mr.
Norman will verify this statement. Yours truly,

W. H. Williams.

AT the Traps.

The scheduled program of events io the local shot gun
world will be resumed in due form to-morrow after the di-
gressions induced by the Fresno tournament and the Slate
live bird shoot last wtek.

The attractions on the Association grounds at Ingleside
embrace both blue rock and lire bird shooting. The San
Francisco Gun Club members will orack targets at the blue

rock balk heads and the Olympic Gun Club shooters will
devote their skill to the rolling up of high scores grassing
pigeons during the regular monthly club shoot.

Across the bay, at Alameda Junction, the monthly blue
rock shoot of the Empire Gun Club frill be held. A num-
ber of handsome trophies are being contested for from month
to month, consequently a large attendance of shooters is
expected.

The improvements od the Ingleside grounds recently
made by the Association management has elicited much
praise from the many sportsmen who are members of clnbB
shooting on the grounds. 1 he methods devised for the com-
fort and convenience of both shooters and visitors, without
a bothersome commingling of the two factions is worthy of
much commendation.

The veteran pigeon shot and well liked sportsman "W. A.
Robertson fulfilled the trying position of referee during the
recent three days' State live bird shoot in so satisfactory a
manner as to win many pleasant congratulations from the
shooters participating.

It is reported that E. Donohoe, Esq., will offer a valuable
and elegantly designed silver cup for competiton among
members of the clubs which shoot on the Association gronnds.
The event will take place May 30th at fifty live birds, en-
trance free, birds to be paid for, the winner to be permanent
holder of the trophy. This race should bring oat a large
entry of pigeon shooters.

The annual shoot of the Red Blaff Gun Clab at Redding
to-morrow will no doubt be the Mecca for a large number of
northern sportsmen. Of the local talent M. O. Feadner, C,
C. Naaman, Ed Schultz, W. H. Williamson and W. H.
Beaver will probably attend. The members of the Red
Bluff Gun Clab have an enviable reputation as entertainers.
F. H. Albright, Ed F. Lennon and J. H. Bradley are the
committee of arrangements.

The program for the day is as follows: First event —
Twenty blue rocks; entrance $2; five prizes, $50, $25, $10.
$7 50, $5. Seoond event — Novice shoot open to all who
have never made better than a 75 per cent, record, 15
blue rocks; entrance $1; four prizes, $20, $10, $7.50, $5.
Third event — Special shoot for a prize of $100, con-
tributed by Douglae S. Cone ($50), Burress & Epperson

cents each; four prizes, $50, $25, $10. Fifth event — For

for the team championship of Northern California; winning
team to receive cap and two-thirds of next entrance money;
entrance $6 per team.

The San Francisco Gun Clab announce the addition to
their season's program of two special open-to-all handicap
blue rock events. These races will take place daring the
afternoon of each regular blue rock shooting day, com-
mencing on Sunday, May 13, 1900. The first event, starting
at 1 P. m., will be the Diamond Locket (value $50) contest,
entrance including birds $1, Shooters will be handicapped
according to their skill. The experts will shoot at twenty
targets, and others at as many more as are necessary to place
them on an equal footing with the experts. The club re-
serves the right to change the handicap before each shoot
with the object in view of still farther equalizing the skill of
the contestants. The highest possible score at each shoot
shall be 20, or 100 for the five shoots, and the shooter mak-
ing the highest score out of the possible 100 shall receive the
prize. All ties shall be shot off under the handicap condi-
tions of the final shoot.

The second event, a handicap pool shoot, entrance, in-
cluding targets, $). 00, will commence at 2:30 p. m. Ten
dollars added by the club each Sunday. High guns to win.
Shooters will receive the same handicap as allowed in the
first event.

The Union Gun Clab members and visiting sportsmen
participated in a successfully conducted shoot on the Associa-
tion grounds at Ingleside last Sunday. Fred Feadner was
the winner of the gold charm for the current month and E.
S. Michelssen won custody of the silver charm in shooting
ofi a tie with M. McDonnell.

The delegates to the proposed Game Convention have
been notified that the meeting will convene on Thursday,
May 24, 1900, at 10 o'clock, a. m., in the Assembly Room
of the Olympic Gun Clab, 23 Kearny street, this city. A
full attendance nf delegates is expected.

The three days State Live Bird Tournament under the
auspices of the California Wing Club, the Olympic Gun Club
and the San Francisco Gun Clab commenced Friday of last
week on the San Francisco Trap Shooting Association
grounds at Ingleside. In the morning light showers of rain
and a heavy wind handicapped the shooters considerably.

The opening event brought twelve shooters to the twenty-
eight yard mark, nine of whom killed straight and divided
the purse amounting to $46. The Ammunition Manufactur-
er's race at ten birds followed, $85 in the pool was divided
between four shooters who killed straight. The event of the
day the Gold Dust medal race saw the doughty dozen again
at the traps. Joe Ross, of Antioch, was the winner of the
medal on a clean score, Phil B. Pekeart was runner up and
won the added money $15, with nineteen kills, his fourteenth
bird escaping him. Feudner, Rice, Williamson and Naa-
man divided the side pool and $10 added mooey, amounting
to $40. "Slade" and Nauman, who tied for the medal last
year, divided the entrance money in this event. Nine men
entered the last event of the day, a miss and out. The
veteran "Slade" started the mourner's procession closely fol-

lowed by Rice, Williamson, Parker and finally Walsh and
Bekeart, this left three men in with nine each, who decided
to divide the parse of $37. The birds trapped during the day
were good and strong. W. A. Robertson officiated as referee,
Stanley 8covern was scorer and cashier and W. T. Mitchell
manipulated the traps.

On Saturday morning, in the first event at six pigeons,
Feudner, Nauman, Stone, Robs and Haight started with
straight scores and divided the parse, $152. The Da
Pont Smokelees Powder race at twelve birds followed
with fourteen men up. This event was mortgaged by
Rice, Williamson, Naaman, Walsh and Ross woo each
scored straight and divided a purse of $130. Haight and
Nauman were the winners of the race last year. Bekeart
and Haight were one bird short for this race on Saturday.
The Fay Diamond Medal race followed with sixteen en-
tries. In this event three men, Feudner, Nauman and
Walsh, tied on straight scores. The tie was shot off on a
miss and out. Walsh was first man up and killed bis bird,
using both barrels. Feudner then followed and paralyzed
the onlookers by as rank a miss as could be made. .Nauman
stepped up to the slat, forgetting to place shells in bis gaD,
and was out of it, leaving Walsh the winner of the medal.
After the temporary surprise subsided the general verdict
was that a deserved compliment had been extended to the vet-
eran wing shot P. J. Walsh, in a very happy vein in keeping
with the usages among sportsmen. Walsh took the medal
and Nauman and Feudner divided the side pool and added
money, $80. Five shooters were close up with nineteen kills
each among them Joe Ross, who won the medal last year
and who received the entrance money, $80. An extra event,
at six birds, $2.50 entrance, closed the day's shooting, ten
men out of twelve scored straight and divided the pool.

Sunday's events were started with a ten-bird match.
Nineteen shooters entered, seven of whom made straight
records and divided $115 in the purse. Twenty-one shooters
were in the next race at twelve pigeons, Rice, Anderson,
Nauman and K*rney were the winters with a dczen dead
birds each and divided the pool and added money, $182.50.
The principal eveDt of the Bhoot, a race at twenty-five birds,
$15 entrance, was then started with seventeen shooters
entered. This race proved interesting from start to finish.
J. Rice, of Visalia.was high man until hiB twenty-third bird,
a swift tailender which he lost; the next one was also a strong
straightaway bird, losing which put him out of the purse-
The winners were Williamson, Haight and WalBb, who
divi ed $229.50, having twenty-four birds each. Four
shooters, Bruner, Rice, Karney and Bekeart, with twenty-
five each, shared fourth money, $25.50. In this race the
string of twenty-five birds was divided into five lots of five
each for the purpose of distance handicapping — for each
string of five straight the shooter stepped back one yard.
Those who missed in their first and second batches of five
birds bad a decided advantage in shooting their last birds
from the twenty-nine and thirty yard marks. The shooter
who killed straight np to twenty found the thirty-one and
thirty-two yard slats a long distance from which to score on
strong pigeons. Rice missed his two birds from the latter
mark. An extra six-bird sweepstake at $2.50 entrance closed
the a eeting; Rice and Walsh divided the pool. A summary
of the events and scores is the following :

The Fly-Casters' Meeting.

The meeting and bi-monthly dinner of the 8an Francisco
Fly-CastiDg Club last Tuesday evening was well attended by
the anglers and their guests, thus making the enjoyable affair
another bright page in the history of this popular organiza-
tion of sportsmen. Walter D. Mansfield presided as Chair-
man, The evening was enlivened by vocal and instrumental
music, after coffee and cigars the assembly were entertained
by ChaB. 8. Wheeler, Esq., whose discourse was devoted
mainly to the unlimited resources for sport and recreation at
the disposal of the angler along the banks of the McCloud ,
one of the eraodest of trout streams. Incidentally the speaker
alluded to the literature pertaining to the gentle art, illus-
trating its great antiguity by an apt quotation from the New
Testament.

The Club decided to offer a tasteful trophy, in the Bhape of
a gold match box, for competition at Chicago dnring the
ermine open to the world tournament. Conditions govern-
ing (he competition will be decided upon later.

Horace Smyth, the popular Secretary of the club, is ex-
pected to return to this city next month. His advent will be
the occasion of a dinner by the members in his honor.

Geo. F. Klink was elected to membership, there being a
vacancy on the rolls. This leaves fourteen applicants still
on the anxious seat.

Among the members and guests present at the banquet
were: E T. Allen, M. C. Allen, J. 8. Eenn, John P. Bab-

Salt water fishermen are now having their inning. The
striped bass anglers have bad a deal of sport in the Oakland
estuary within the past week;. The sand beach above the
cotton mill on the Oakland side of the water eeema to be
the favored locality for sport with the fish, one day this
week nine large fish were caught by several anglers.

The McCloud and upper Sacramento offer the best induce-
ments for large fish just now. The Truckee will not be in
its best fishing form until July. Anglers who desire a day's
outing can find g-od sport in tbe Sonoma and Marin county
stream?; along the line of tbe California Northwestern Rail-
way can be found many well stocked trout streams.

The Santa Catalina Tuna Club announce their annual
open tournament from May 1st to October 1st.

GETTING READY AT SANTA ROSA.

The Celebrated Track in Perfect Condition for
Training Harness Horses.

When Thomas Bonner and P. H. QuinD, of Santa Rosa,
were in San Francisco a couple of weeks ago and made state-
ments to the effect that the newly clayed track at the Santa
Roea Stock Farm was the best they had ever seen, we did
not doubt their Btaten enle, as both gentlemen average up
pretty well among the truth tellers of California, but we
could not help making a little allowance for local pride and
the expressed desire to have the Breeders meeting held in
their beatiful town. When we inspected the track ourselves
last Saturday, however, saw with our own eyes the smooth
surface, noticed that there was not the least evidence of cup-
Ding or breakiog away on any portion of it, saw the horses
trotting and pacing over it almost silently — theBurface being
so nicely cushioned — we were compelled to quote the histori-
cal queen who visited King Solomon and say : "The half had
not been told us."

The Santa Eosa track is simply perfection and we do not
know of one in the State at the present time which presents
as many advantages to a trainer of harness horses. The
climate of that part of Sonoma county cannot be excelled.
The -ays are simply delightful at this season of the year,
men and horses both seeming to etjoy their work. That
there may be no bad effects when the winds blow, there is a
magnificent hedge of cypress trees around the outside of the
track, the trees being so close together that the limbs inter-
lace, and none are less than 25 feet in height, making a per-
fect wind break, although there are few days in the vear
when tbe wind blows strong enough in that locality to cause
any discomfort to men or horses. The box stalls, com-
modious and numerous, shaded with awnings under which
horses are walked when being cooled out, the best of water,
and the best hay in California. It is proverbial among
horsemen that have visited Santa Rosa that the red oat hay
which grows there will make a horse "leave bis happy home"
to get a ch&nce t j eat it. And they eat it up clean and re-
quire less grain than when fed with anv other hay. There
is plenty of last years crop left, if is the best quality and the
price 1b very low.

The ride from San Francisco to Santa Rosa over the Cali-
fornia and Northwestern Railway is a very charming one at
thie season. There is scarcely a spot of earth from rail to
the top of the mountains on either side of the track that is
not covered with the greenest verdure. Tbe growth of grass
and cereal crops this season is something marvelous and
vines and fruit trees never looked more promising for heavy
crops. Santa Eosa is simply a bower of roses and other
garden flowers just now and every dwelling seems to sit in
the midst of a big boquet.

We had scarcely inscribed our name on the register of the
Occidental upon arrival in Santa Eosa, before mine host
Quion inquired if we wanted to visit the track and as that
was answered promptly in the affirmative, Mr. Quinn "threw
us into a hack1' as a celebrated San Francisco politician
once remarked, and in company with Mr. H. B. Smith, of
Ukiah, were soon landed at the Santa Eosa Stock Farm just
ouside the town.

Horses from other localities had not begun to arrive at the
track, and we found that the string of the Santa Eosa Stock
Farm, trained bv Eichard Abies, John Quinn's public stable,
Frank McGregor's string, the Eosedale Stock Farm horses,
and a few belonging to W. H. Lumsden were about the oDly
ones being worked at the track. But within the next few
days several prominent stables will move to Santa Eosa and
by the first of June the majority of the two hundred and odd
stalls will be occupied.

Frank Turner, who has for many years been the efficient
Superintendent of the Santa Eosa Stock Farm, has the en-
tire place in fine condition, and showed us some of the horses
under his care. The stallions in use this year are Beau
Brummel 2:16 J, son of Wildnut and Nettie Benton. L. W.
Kussel, by Stamboul 2:07 J, dam By By sister to Lockheart
2:08J, by Nutwood; Vallotta, son of George Norval out of
Carlotta Wilkes, and Inferno by Diablo 2:09}. Eight of the
best mares on the place were Bent to McKinney 2:11}, this
year as has been heretofore chronicled in the Breedek and
Sportsman. We noticed running in a paddock tbe mares
Belle lele by Piedmont, out of a mare by Hambletonian 10,
and Mollie Allen 2:20£, by Mambrino Wilkes, both with
grand looking, big boned, Btout sucklings by Vallotta at foot.
"There never was one of Vallottas colts dropped on the
farm" said Mr. Turner, "but was a big strong fellow."

One of the best youngsters on tbe farm is a two year old
eon of McKinney, out of By By. He is a large toppy black
fellow with almost perfect trotdng action. On April 27th
he wbb shod for the first time in bis life and Mr. Turner be-
gan breakiog him to drive. O • May 7th, ten days after, he
drove bim a quarter in 46 seconds. He'll do for the grand
circuit in another year.

Mr. Turner, with pardonable pride, showed us a three
year old stallion of his own whose breeding cannot be ex-
celled on this Western 'lope. He iB by Vallotta, dam by
Phallae; second dam by Onward; third dam by Brignoli,
and fourth dam by Pilot Jr. He calls him Frank S and
says he is a eure trotter. Frank S. is a blocby built fellow
with lots of substance and a set of legs and feet that look as
though they would carry him over any kind of rosds and
"stand the racket "

"Dick" Ab'es haB charge of the horses of the Santa Eosa
Stock Farm that are in training. There are about twelve in
his row of stalls, about half of which will be raced. We
saw him work the mare Dolly D. a couple of slow heats and
stepped her the last half of one in 1:10 very easily it seemed
to us. She is a nice gaited thing and quite a good looker as
will be «een by her picture taken by our camera just before
the Bscond heat. Dolly D. won the Occident Stake at Sacra-
mento in 1898, getting a record of 2:21. She started twice
last year in the 2:19 class, getting fourth money at Santa
Rosa, and winning her race at Sacramento getting a record
of 2:19} in the last heat of this race. She looks good enough
to knock several seconds oil her mark this year. Mr. Abies
has the green mare Helen D. by Diablo out of a mare by
Director that will be heard from this year, Valita a little
filly by Beau Brummel that took a record of 2:24 Inst year as

a two year old, Fram a colt trotter by Direct out of an
Abbotsford mare, and On Stanley a green trotter by Direct
2:05} out of Lillie Stanley 2:17}, the daughter of Whipple-
ton that Bill McGraw trained and drove to her record
for the Coombs Bros, of Napa years ago. Mr. Abies has a
number of two and three year olds colts and fillies and his
racing Btring will consist of six or seven horses when the
circuit opens. His horses all look as though he was giving
them the very best of attention and have plenty of speed for
this time of the year.

John Quinn has nearly a dozen horses under his care,
nearly all of them green ones, but expects to have the fast
stallion Jack W. 2:12} sent to him in » few days. He was
working a big mare belonging to H. B. Smith of Ukiah
while we were at the track, and her owner was holding the
watch on her. May Ayres is the name of this mare, and she
is a full sister to Jasper Ayres 2:09, being by IriBOUt of Babe
by Altamont son of Almont. After giving her three heats
between 2:30 and 2:40. Quinn sent her along and she turned
the track in 2:25 very handily though a little tired at the end
of it as she has had but little work — 3ome Bix or seven weeks
in all— so it was not surprising that she tired going at that
gait as she is a big mare. The quarters of her mile were
made in 36, 1:11, 1:49, 2:25. May Ayres looks like one of
the improving kind and we would not be surprised if she
took a mark as good as 2:15 before the end of the season.
She haB a record of 2:31 which her owner gave her at Ukiah
last year over a half mile track, in the last heat of a race
which was very hotly contested between local horsemen. Our
camera made a very fair picture of this mare with John
Quinn holding the ribbons.

Mr. Quinn iB working for Mr. J. L Walker of 8anta
Rosa a four year old cnestnut mare by Robin, dam by Phil-
osopher; second dam by Anteeo. 8be is a pacer, shows
speed and will be entered in the slow classes on the circuit.
She is not only a good looker but is game and has a nice way
of going.

One of the handaomest youngsters at the track is a year-
ling by Lynwood Wilkes, out of a mare by Robin. His
picture occupies the center of oar title page. With four
white feet and an even white strip in his face he has the
conformation, tbe style and the action to bring a big price
same day.

About the most stylish looking fellow in Quinn's striog is
a chestnut colt by Silas Skinner belonging to Sheriff Grace.
He. looks like the pictures we often see of the priza winning
Kentucky saddle horse but shows speed in harness.

Frank McGregor, who brought out the mare Eleanor Ann
2:19, and got money every time he started her but once, is
working her at the track and Bhe is not only improved in
looks, b it in speed. She was very sick just before her cam-
paign last year and was not in condition to go Buch raceB as
she invariably got into. Mr. McGregor is working the pacer
Cock Eobin also and the little fellow is going fast and Bteady.
He has a little too much knee and hock action for a pacer,
but hardies it well und has more ginger in his make up than
anything of his size in America.

After we had looked at the horsee at the track our genial
friend Dr. Summerfield, the well known veterinary of Santa
Eosa, gave us a Beat in his buggy and proceeded to show us
the town and surrounding country. Tbe Doctor knows
everybody and every horBe that is owned in the county we
verily believe. He headed his bob-tailed caballo for the
Eosedale Stock Farm, where 8 m Norris is training six
trotters for the proprietor Dr. Finlaw. He has Bertha E.,
Diana, Julia 8., Digitalis 2:25} and St. Whips, all trotters-
pacers having no place on the Eosedale Stock Farm. None ot
them have been moved faBt as yet, but all are in good shape
and will be raced. Mr. Norris led out Daly 2:15, the premier
Btallion of the farm, for us to take a Bnap at, and the result
as shown on the first page proves that he is a good looking
horse as well as a speed producer.

From the Eosedale Farm we were driven to Mr. Lums-
den's stables, where Frank Hazrv showed us a three year old
by Eobin that is a crackerjack for looks and haB so much
speed that all his admirers regret that he is not entered in
any of the big stakes. He is by Eobin out of Evelyn by
Nutwood.

Grace Brothers' place was visited and we were shown old
Silas Skinner 2:17, the hero of many a hard fought race. He
is doing a fair season in the stud and has some grand looking
colts and fillies in the neighborhood.

While Dr. 8a aimer field was driving through one of the
principal residence etreets, he suddenly Btopped his horse
and getting out of the buggy said: ''I want to show you the
handsomest three year old in Santa Eosa to my notion."
Without further ado he walked into a barn yard and led out
a handsome black gelding that he said was by Gossiper 2:14|
out of a mare by Secretary. He belonged to Henry Baker,
the well known blacksmith of 8anta Eosa, and the picture
we got of him shows that the veterinary has pretty good
judgment when it comes to picking out a good looking horse.

Dr. Summerfield's big French Coach stallion was ower at
Glen Ellen and we did not get to see him, but he is said to
be the best individual of his breed in California. His book
was full two weeks ago and he haB served about 70 mares.
We were given a picture of tbe horse, which shows him to be
a handsome big fellow and it will be reproduced in these
columns in the near future.

One of the grandest looking stallions in the State is Lyn-
wood Wilkes 2:20}, a record made when he waB two years
old. He is a model, as his picture shows, and has wonderful
Bpeed. Offing to an injury received to his ankles in a rail-
road wreck be cannot race, but last vear he showed a quarter
in 30 seconds on the trot. He is making the season at 8anta
BoBa and getting a good patronage. He is by Guy Wilkes
out of Lindale by Sultan Jr. 12,771, second dam by Gen.
McOlellan 144, and third dam by Lan&ford, son of William-
son's Belmont.

You cannot spend a day more pleasantly than in looking
about Santa Eosa and seeing the horses working at the track.
And if Dr. Summerfield, Tom Bonner, P. H. Quinn, Dr.
Finlaw, W. H. Lumsden or any of the harness horse breed-
ers and owners who live there find out you are in town, you
will be taken for a ride which will make you wish that when
you die your spirit will go to Santa Eosa.

Bert Shank will drive James Butler's Ea t View Farm
hornet! in the Grand Circuit races this season. Last season
Shank went to East View Farm as second trainer, and when
Kelly left that establishment Shank took a few horses out in
races around New York, and he made such a splendid show-
ing with Miss Kate, Miss Beatrice and Miss Betterton, that
Mr. Butler has given him the first stable of the farm. —

Trainers In the South Getting Heady for the
Harness Races.

University P. O., Los Angeles (Cal.).

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — While nearly all
the trainers at this track are working their horses so as to be
ready when the bell taps at Santa Rosa, there have not been
any very fast miles down here yet. The fastest mile I have
seen this spring was paced by a black mare sired by Guy
Wilkes, dam by Sultan. She is owned by Lucky Baldwin
and is in Stice & Maben's string. She has paced in 2:14, did
it handily and Mr. C. A. Winship offered $5000 for her, but
the offer was refused. Her full brother has worked a mile
in 2:11)} trotting.

Mr. Vance has one in his stable that has paced a mile in
2:17}, last half in 1:07-1. This is a young black stallion by
Titus and his dam is Grace Kaiser, dam of Coney 2:07$ and
McZsus 2:13. He is a very promising pacer and like all of
Grace Kaiser's colts, very fast. Mr. Vance has another good
one, a brown trotting Btallion sired by Direct 2:05}, dam by
McKinney 2:111 He has worked miles in 2:28, last quarter
in 33} seconds. Mr. Newton of this place is his owner.

Will Durfoe has some good green ones, trotters, two by
McKinney, one by James Madison and one by Dashwood.
They can all step miles around 2:20 easily. Will is working
Dr. Book 2:13$ and Osito 2:141, bnt I don't think he will
race the former. Will has formed a partnership with his
brother-in-law, Johnnie Weber, the well known ex-jockey,
and the firm will be Durfee & Weber. Johnnie was up
driving to-day and can handle the r'bbons well.

Fred Ward has a green mare by Alto Bex, dam by Mam-
brino Patchen, that can trot miles in 2:20 all day.

Mr, W. W. Whitney has Bernard 2:16}, Sam H. 2:18}
and a green pacer. Bernard is looking fine and acting good
and will be a warm number in his class. The green pacer
has been a mile in 2:24 and a half in 1:10 with only five
weefcB' work.

Mr. C. A. Winship has five or Bix horse* which are all
working well, but he will probably hold them over until
next year. Zsphyr, his two year old filly by Zombro, worked
a quarter in 36} seconds and a sixteenth in 17 seconds very
easily. Everyone here seems to think a quarter in 34 sec-
onds within her reach any time. Mr. Winship will not
breed Lady Waldstein 2:15 or Vernie McGregor 2:26 this
year, as he intends giving them faster records before retiring
them permanently to the breeding ranks. The latter worked
miles in 2:13 before he put her to breeding and I don't see
any reason why she should not step in 2:10 next year. Mr.
Winship says he will probably race her in the East next

Messrs. Stice & Maben will leave here the first week in
June for their Eastern campaign. They have four very
promising horses.

Mr. Sanford, a brother of Jim Sanford, is training Mrs.
Severance's horses. He trotted Bet Madison a mile in 2:20
recently. She did it very handily.

Mr. William Morgan, of Pasadena, has three very good
ones by McKinney 2:11J, one a full sister to Coney 2:07f,
and MeZsus 2:13. She was given a mile in 2:20 loo early
last vear and it put her on the shelf. They have jogged her
all winter, however, and have been giving her bIow miles
and a few quarters in 33 and 34 seconds lately. If she stands
up all right she will step in 2:15 "so easy." Mr. Morgan
also owns a oaare which stepped a mile in 2:17} last fall; she
is also by McKinney out of a mare of unknown breeding.
There is a full sister to this one that also acts like a trotter.
Mr. Morgan intends going East with these horses next
month if tbey prove to be good enough. He has Frank
Williams training for him.

Mr. M. M. Potter, of the Hotel Van NuyB, is going quite
extensively into the horse business. He has purchased about
twenty head lately and they are good ones, too. He has
bred three mares to Zombro 2:11, including Irene Croker
2:17. If her colt from Zombro don't make a 2:10 trotter I
will quit trying to guess them. Mr. Potter drove Primrose
2:13, a quarter in 27} seonds with a running mate hitched to
a pole cart, and with Mr. Gilbert, a friend, in the cart with
Mm. Some time this week he will see how fast he can drive
her a half hitched the same way. G. T. B.

Horses Required by Armies.

The armies of European countries are constantly iacreaa-
ing in size and with this increase comes tbe need for more
horses. Roughly speaking there are 1 000,000 horses re-
quired for militarv strvice on a war footing in all countries,
or one horse in 60 The requirements of the Russian army
are 300,000, of France and Germany 200,000 each, and of
England and the United States 100,000 each. Horses and
mules bought in the United States have been seen in actual
warfare to possess the very qualities needed. The horsee
have speed, endurance, Btrength, and the mules endurance
and strength without speed.

The market for draft horses was topped last week in
Chicago by M. Smith, Arthur. Ill , who sent io a load that
sold at prices ranging from $150 to $230, (he top 6gure being
paid by Joseph Wallocb, Hamburg, Germany, for a gelding
of Belgian and Percheron blood.

The circuit is formed just right.

Colcsa leads all for entrioB in the 2:40 class.

Marysville has subscribed about $2000 for its fair.
Don't miss our Golden Gate Park edition next week.

Hopples are barred at the big Lexington meeting this

Golden Gate Driving Club entries close next Monday
evening.

John A. McKerron 2.12J by Nutwood Wilkes is now in
active training at Cleveland.

Santa Rosa will soon be the Mecca of the harnesa horses.
Good stalls will be scarce after June 1st.

J. H, Thayer has one of the fastest youngsters at the
Lexington track, considering the time she has been in train-
ing. She is a chestnut tilly (2) by Sunland Bourbon, dsm by
Allandorf, and, alihough handled only since Mr. Thayer
returned from California, she can pace a 2:40 gait.

Miss Margaret 2:11J by Direct 2:05* brought $925 at
the McFariand speed sale in Philadelphia.

Okrin Hickok is expected to arrive at the Cleveland
track with bis campaigning stable on June 1st.

The New York Road Drivers' Association now has 1000
members and applications are still coming in.

Two of the former tionner collection of trotters are being
entered in the early purses — Don L. 2:12J and Elfrida 2:13^.

At Marcus Daly's Bitter Root Stock Farm, mares foaling
later than June are not bred again until the following spring.

There ib general commendation of the Breeders Faturity
stake in which $6000 is guaranteed. It will get a big entry
list.

Fast miles are not numerous just now. Nearly every
trainer is "going a little slow" for a few weeks. It is just as
well.

Jack W. 2:12^ will be raced again this year and will
probably be sent to John Quinn at Santa Rosa within a few
days.

Vallfjo has five guaranteed stakes of $1000 each that
cIobo June 1st. This will be one of the best meetings on the
circuit.

Bonnatella won two races in Austria last month t beat-
ing such horses as Countess Eve, Royal Baron and Ruth
Wilkes.

The Cleveland trainer, Chas. Tanner, thinks that Frank
Creamer 2:18£ by Mercury will be one of the great trotters of
the season.

King Cadenza has been brought down from Pleasanton
by his owner H. H. Dunlap and is again on the roads. He
is better than ever.

Tanforan's two weeks will draw a big crowd of live stock
breeders to this city. The cattle and horse shows will be
worth going a long way to see.

C W. Williams recently received a cablegram from Ber-
lin! Germany, asking for a price on Expedition and Belsire.
Mr Williams declined to name a price.

It is reported that E. E McCargo has arranged with
CharleB "Doc" Tanner, of Cleveland, to drive the great
wagon horse Pray Tell 2:09J in his match race with Maxine.

Tom Ronan and Geo. A- Kelly have arrived at Terre
Haute, Ind . from Dayton, Wash. Kelly bronght with him
Anzella 2:17£, Glenella 2:16£, Annijito 2:21 and several
others.

There having been considerable talk as to what trainer
will handle Searchlight this year, an Eastern paper very
aptly suggests that the new owners turn the great pacer over
to Tom Keating.

Jacksonian 2:13J and Ottinger 2:09|, both getting well
along in yeare, but still able to trot pretty fast on the road,
were sold in New York last week for $1300, which is more
than the seller paid for them.

Woodland and Willows have both opened purses for 2:11
class trotters. They ought to fill well and be the best races
on the cards at those meetings. The person who can guess
the winner is entitled to the medal.

Star Pointer 1:59} has been receiving stiff work Bince
last December and has not had a bandage on bis legs during
that time. He will be taken to the Cleveland track about
June 1st, when he will go into active training.

Bicretary C. M. Jewett, of the New England Trotting
Horse Breeders Association, states that the $20,000 8tallion
Race has twelve instead of eleven entries. Wm. Penn 2.07J
should be added to the list published last week.

The San Benito County Agricultural Association claims
the week immediately following the races at San Jose, for its
annual fair. An agricultural display will be held in any
event and if the people want races, they can have them.

Dictata is the name claimed bv M. J. Smeltzer of the
Salinas Journal for a sorrel filly foaled May 1st, a natural
pacer, by Dictatus 2:19}, out of a mare by Brown Jug
21,985, a ton of Nutwood; Becond dam by Re-Echo 14,439, a
bu)1 brother to Bob Mason.

The Napa Association has made an innovation in condi-
tions that ought to be popular with horsemen. All who pay
the entire entrance to its purses in advance will get a dis-
count of ten per cent. For instance, if the entrance fee to a
race is $40, a receipt in full will be sent if the party making
the entry sends $36. This is a condition that horsemen will
appreciate, and it is little improvements like thiB that prove
to owners and trainers that an association is not looking for
"the best of it" all the time.

The fastest mile paced this year at Overton Park was
made this year by Aelse and E. 8. in a workout Mav 8th.
They finished nose and nose in 2:15i. In order to do this
Aelse was compelled to close a gap on the latter end of the
mile and moved the last quarter in 0:30}. — Denver Times.

At a sale of Morgan bred horses latelv held al Creston, la.,
by J. B. Harsh, twenty bead were disposed of at an average
price of over $200. The horses were almost all entirely un-
developed and many of them unbroken save to the halter.
The price paid for such offerings shows what good horses will
bring even in the rough.

At Dixon, Solano county, there is located a good half mile
track, which is being (used a great deal more than formerly,
as the revival in the horse business is causing the owners in
that locality to devote more attention to their horses. A
picnic and race meeting was to have been held there yester-
day if the weather was favorable. Mr. E. A. Swaby, one of
our readers who resides at Dixon, is breaking a two year old
pacer by FMrose that is very promising. The pride of his
heart however is a b'llv foal of this year by Taric 15,676, son
of Guy Wilkes and Madam Baldwin by The Moor. Mr.
Swaby claims the name Anita Wilkes for this little miss,
and thinks she will be a fast one when ehe is old enough to
step. Her dim is a fine looking mare 0; Antevolo, so the
filly has the Wilkes-Electiooeer cross.

At the biennial congress of the American Trotting Asso-
ciation, which convened in Chicago, May 2d, the following
officers were elected: President, W. P. Ijams, Terre Haute;
Vice-President, E. C. Lewis, Kansas City; Secretary and
Treasurer, J. H. Steiner, Chicago; Directors, N. J. Colemao,
St. Louis; J. W. Fleming, Columbus; T. H. Gill, Milwaukee;
F. T. Moran, Detroit; E. M. Bartlett, Omaha.

Secretatt Thorn, of the Los Angeles Association, has
been ill for the past few week. Bo far he has nothing definite
to publish regarding the fall meeting, but be has already
begun to make arrangements for it, and it may be regarded
as a certainty that the cracks of the harness, as well as some
of the fastest under the saddle, will face the starter when
the autumnal meeting does open. — Los Angeles Herald.

C. W. Williams of Allerton fame has purchased a farm
of 160 acres near Aurora, 111., and adjoining the Aurora
Driving park. He will at once have the necessarv buildings
erected, and will build a mile race track. He will then
move his entire stable and his residence to Aurora. Mr.
Williams states that the change from Galesburg is made
because of the advantage afforded by a location near Chicago.

J. Malcolm Forres, of Boston, is in more good luck.
Last Thursday, Nancy Hanks 2:04 give birth to a colt foal
by Arion 2:07.], and she will now be bred to Peter the Great
2:07}. This is the fourth foal for the old time queen of the
tnrf, and all are alive and healthy. The first was a filly by
Arion, the second was Admiral Dewey by Bingen 2:06},
which last week stepped an eighth over the Raadville track
in 17} seconds, while the third was a fillv by the imported
running stallion Meddler, this making two filly and two colt

Mr. E P. MoDaniel, of Marysville, made us a pleasant
call this weed and says there is every prospect of the Marys-
ville Fair being the best ever held in the district. Every-
body seems to be taking an active interest in the success of
the meeting. He states that Eula Mc is considered by her
owner Wm. Hogoboom to be fully up to all that has been ex-
pected of her and she should get a low mark this year. Mr.
Hogoboom is training a five year old mare by Direct that he
thinks is the best prospect for a green one that he ever
handled. She belongs to J. B. McDonald.

The pacer, Conner, that is so extensively entered in the
Grand Circuit 2:00 classes, has had a singusar career. As a
colt he was one of the trotting wonders of Kentucky. After-
wards, as a pacer, he took a record of 2:11 J, aod for a vear
or more was raced around the half-mile tracks, and appeared
to be outclassed. Mr. Chapin, of Rochester, then purchased
him for matinee racing, and in the hands of Fred Damond
the brown gelding developed considerably more speed than
it was ever believed be possessed. Last year Damond started
him eight times and won seven races and a second money,
and turning him over to Mr. Chopin in the fall, that amateur
drove him a mile in 2:07.}.

Mr. C. J. Hamlin, senior proprietor of Village Farm,
said the other day that he had received no word from Ed
Geers about the reported breakdown of The Monk 2:08},
and he scouted the accuracy of the news. "I received a
letter from Geers only a few days ago," Baid Mr. Hamlin,
"and he wrote that Toe Abbot and The Monk were stepping
together like one; in perfect harmony, you may say. 1 do
not anticipate any trouble in lowering the team trotting
record," continued the venerable breeder, "and even if The
Monk goes wrong I have others, plenty of them. The Monk
may strike himself accidentally, but if anything serious oc-
curred I'm sure Geers would wire."

It has been suggested that the P. C. T. H. B. A. could
not offer a bigger drawing card for their meeting than a good
paree hung up for the following Santa Rosa gentleman io
dri^e their own horses: J. R Leppo with Banner Wilkes,
Al Stahl with Klordike, J. Einhorn with Pick, N. Bugbee
with his horFe by Philosopher and Billy Healy with Phil-
osopher. These horees are all pacers, and about equally
matched in speed. A race between them, if all ehould start,
would draw to t*ie track nearly every man. woman and child
in that part of Sonoma county, and there would be enough
gloves, candy, gum, cigars, etc., wagered on the result to ex-
haust the supply of those commodities for a week. And it
would be a hot race. There is not one of the gentlemen
mentioned but would give a month ofl the end of his life to
win, and rather lose his right arm than pull his horse at any
part of the race.

Volume 15 of tbe Year Book gives Stomboul credit with
forty trotters in standard time, and no pacers, an equal num-
ber as credited to Hambletonian 10. Added to this number
Bhould be the mare Sweetwater, now owned at Palo Alto,
that obtained a two year old record of 2:26 in 1892, which
would make just the number claimed for Stamboul by the
writer at tbe close of the 1899 racing season. 8tamboul has
nine sons that are tbe sires cf thirteen trotters aod no pacers,
also of three daughters that are each the dam of a 2:20
trotter. This makes fifty-seven trotters in the Stamboul
family, and not a single pacer, a most remarkable record for
any s allion. One other California bred stallion, Anteeo
2:1 62, has thirty-nine trot'ers to his credit and no pacers, but
his sons and daughters have not done as well. Eight sons
have sired twenty-four trotters and twelve pacers, while six
daughters are the dams of five trotters and one pacer. —
"Columbus'' in Western Horseman.

During the racing season Joe Patchen has two care
takers, Trainer Dickerson saying that he wants the horee
done up as quickly as possible, and the time saved for him to
have just bo much more rest: "Many horses are killed with
care; the men'Beem to think that the employer will ibink
that they are not earning their salaries unless they are
bothering the life out of tbe horse all day long. I want a
caretaker to work quick while he does work, and then clear
out and give the horse a chance to rest. Carrots and water-
melons are good summer food; we use them in spells, so as
not to over-stimulate a horse's kidneys. I never saw a horse
that cared for carrots as much as Joe Patchen does. After a
hard race I get a dozen of the best, wash them carefully, and
put them within reach of the man who is leading tbe horee
in his cooliug-out walking. A bite at a time seems to give
him more satisfaction than anything else we can do for him.

CoBWf BS 2:12 and Lucille 2:09£ will meet on the speed-
way and teBt their speed in a series of brushes on June 1st,
provided the weather is favorable and the footing firm. The
first of the month falls on a Friday, and it promises to be a
memorable day in the annals of the road. The horses will
probably have two brushes, or three <f the first two trials of
speed fail to settle the question of superiority. Nathan
Straus says: "I want Cobwebs to meet Lucille, an 1 then I
mean to retire him. This will be his last brush in the way of
defending his title as King of the Speedway. After he has
beaten Lucille, and I am confident that he will beat her, I
am going to let him take it easy. This is his third year 01
the speedway, and he has earned a rest."

Mb. J. B. Bonetti, of Santa Maiia, was in the city last
week and stated that the price he received for Thompson
2:14^, the Bon of Boodle, was $1200. M*-. B. O Van Bokke-
len, of San Jose, who is training tbe horse for his Eastern
owner, stepped him a mile very handily last week in 2:15
and thinks be will make a very good showing in the rices
on the grand circuit. He will go Et»t with him on (he 28th
inBt, and in the car will be Elert 2:11}, the Nutwood Wilkes
colt Col. Carter, and several others. Mr. Bonetti informs us
that Thompson's dam is a mare by Jim Mulvena, son of
Nutwood; the Becond dam by Robert Bonner, son of Chief-
tain 721; third dam by Williman's Bellfounder, and fourth
dam by Leather Stocking, son of Bertrand.

Kenney, the Bikeman has just received direct from
the factory two McMurray sulkies and a bike wagon of the
same make that he will not keep very long if trainers and
road drivers of San Francisco know good things when they
see them. The sulkies sell for $100 and $115 respectively,
weighing 35 and 30 pounds. There are perfect models, not
a weak place about tbem, fitted with all the modern improve-
ments and are as good as any $150 sulky made. No better
truss was ever put on a bike, there is lots of room in the
shafts, the wheels are the best manufactured, ball bearing,
dust proof and line perfectly. Don't think we are puffing
these vehicles — go and look al them and see for yourself.
While there look at the bike buggy of McMurray's make
that is sold for $150. It is tbe perfection of a road buggy
and fullv guaranteed, Pnenmatic tires, ball bearing bike
wheels, the best of springs, and a comfortable seat make this
buggy tbe easiest rioing vehicle on the market. Go out to
Kenney's place at 531 Valencia Btreet, and you can see for
yourself whether the truth has been told in this case, and
you will also see the most complete machine shop and
bicycle factor? in San Francisco.

NAPA'S PROGRAM, which provides the generous
amount of $8000 for the harness horses at its fair and
race meeting to be held July 9th to 14th, appears in our
advertising columns to-day. The classes have been well
arra nged, seven races being carded for the trotters and
five for the pacers. The purses run from $600 to $800,
with entrance five per cent in easy installments, with
the very excellent condition attached that those paying
up in full at time of entry will receive a discount of ten
per cent on amount of their total entrance fee. It is
three years since a meeting has been held on the Napa
track and horse owners all over the State will take ad-
vantage of the opportunity offered this year to race their
horses over one of the fastest and safest courses ever con-
structed. The Napa oval is laid out strictly according to
the rules which call for a "regulation" track. But little
work having been done on it during the time when no fairs
have been held, the course has been covered with a
growth of weeds. This has livened the Boil and now
that it is being worked every day, and being put in as
fine condition as it is possible to make a track, every
square foot of the entire course being made as smooth as
a floor, it should be better and even faster than during
those memorable years when Freedom trotted over it the
first mile ever made in less than 2:30 by a yearling;
when Gold Leaf lowered the four year old pacing record
to 2:11}; when such horsea as Palo Alto 2:08J, Stam-
boul 2:07}, Direct 2:05}, Sunol2:08}, were racing there,
and when such reinsmen as Orrin Hickok, Chas. Marvin
and the late John Goldsmith pronounced it one of the
fastest and safest tracks in America. The Napa meeting
follows the opening meeting of the season to be held at
Santa Rosa during the first week in July. All the lead-
ing trotters and pacers in California will be at Santa
Rosa, and as it is but thirty-five miles by rail over to
Napa, every trainer who has his horses at the Breeders
meeting will want to make the trip 'and race there if
possible. There is no more beautiful spot in California
than the famous Napa Valley and the view of the sur-
rounding mountains from the grand stand at the track is
not excelled any where. The climate is famed through-
out the land, and the officers of the Napa Agricultural
Society have the reputation among horse owners of be-
ing attentive, obliging and liberal. From San Francisco
horser can be shipped to Napa by rail or by steamer and

f ' tter mode of conveyance is both convenient and
Tiicftl. Besides the money hung up for the har-

ness horses, $2000 has been set aside for the runners and
an effort will be made to make these contests one of the
most attractive features of the meeting. By reference to
the advertisement in another column it will be seen that
entries to the harness races close on Friday, June 1st, and
we advise every horse owner who wants to race over a
splendid track, in a glorious climate, in a pretty town,
Bituated in a beautiful valley, to enter liberally in the
good purses that are offered by the Napa Agricultural
Society. Secretary Edw. S. Bell will be pleased to an-
swer all communications and to send entry blanks to
any and all who have not received them.

JOSEPH MURPHY, who acts as presiding judge at
the meetings of the California Jockey Club at Oakland
during the winter months, is reported by the St. Louis
Globe-Democrat to have made the remark recently that
" the breeders of California have about made up their
minds that they cannot breed a good horse out there.
They think that cold weather is essential to harden a
horse, and most of them are preparing to move else-
where." It is hard to believe that Judge Murphy has
been correctly reported, but as no denial of the story has
thus far appeared, the newspaper probably published
his remarks as he made them. They are so utterly
absurd as to require no presentation of facts to refute
them here in California, but it is exasperating that such
statements should be published broadcast over the East
at this time when Californians are engaging more
largely than ever in the breeding of fine horses. This
State has bred the following harness horses : Directum
2:05}, the champion trotting stallion; Azote 2:04|,
champion trotting gelding; Adbell 2:23, champion trot-
ting yearling; Arion 2:10f, champion two year old
trotter, sold for $125,000, (the largest sum ever paid for
a horse in America), and afterwards reduced his record
to 2:07f; Who Is It 2:12, fastest three year old trotting
gelding; Directum 2:05}, fastest four year old trotter.
Among the pacers the following records stand to the
credit of California bsed horses : Directly 2:07J, fastest
two year old; Klatawah 2:05}, fastest three year old.
Belle Button and Tom Ryder, fastest team race record
2:16}; Flying Jib 1:58}, fastest mile with running mate;
Defiance, 4:47f , fastest two miles in a race; Longfellow
fastest three and four miles in a race; Lady St. Clair
12:54}, fastest five miles to wagon. Controller, a
California trotter, still holds the champion ten-mile
race record. And- there are others, but it is not
necessary to mention them. Judge Murphy must have
thought California harneBS horses were of some
account, as he bought one while here to drive on
the road in St. Louis. While Mr. ^Murphy's knowl-
edge of California thoroughbreds was chiefly gained by
the view he got from the stand at Oakland during the
past few winters, he certainly could [ not have forgotten
that this State, with ^but comparatively few thorough-
bred breeding farms, has bred five winners of the Ameri-
can Derby out of twelve races; that El Rio Rey won
such raceB as the Great Eclipse for two year olds and was
never beaten; that such mares as Firenzi and Yo Tambien
were bred here; that the get of the great Sir Modred,
foaled in California, kept his name at the head of the
winning sires more than one year, and for the number
of horses bred and raced California has turned out more
stake winners, and more high priced horses than any
State in the Union. Perhaps Judge Murphy does not
know theBe facts, or having known them has permitted
his memory to lapse. If it takes cold weather to harden
a horse we can get all the ice and snow we want here in
California by moving up into the mountains, but during
all the cold winters be has Been in St. Louis and other
points beyond the Rockies, Mr. Murphy never saw East-
ern two year olds hard enough to begin running races
the first week in January as they do here every year
under his watchful eye. Mr. Murphy in the same in-
terview from which we have quoted, stated that Altamax,
the stallion belonging to Burns & Waterhouse, was about
the best horBe that ever raced in San Francisco. He
probably forgot that Altamax was bred and raised in
California, and as some pretty high class Eastern horses
have raced out here, thus is Mr. Murphy's statement
that good horses cannot be bred in California refuted by
his own words. It probably gave him a pain in his
intellect when he saw Yellowtail, a California bred horse,
capture the Inaugural Handicap at St. Louis on Thurs-
day of this week, and he will experience several such
shocks before the racing season is over. Perhaps we are
criticising the Judge too harshly. When he stated that
good horBes could not be bred in California, his conver-
sation with the reporter may have trickled through his
headgear. When Mr. Murphy comes flitting back here

this winter we expect he will be telling the reporters
that while the Eastern climate is necessary to "harden"
horses, its effect on the human brain is such that six
months in California is necesBary to soften the gray
matter and bring it into the high state of development
required to determine whether one horse has his nose in
front of another at the post.

NEW YORK ROAD DRIVERS paraded over their
famous speedway on the 5th instant and the papers state
that 800 were in line. Nothing like it has ever been
seen in America, and thousands who love the American
roadster, but are not so fortunate as to own one, lined
the sidewalks to see the procession pass. Road driving
has been the popular recreative sport of this countiy for
fifty years, and never was it as popular as now. There
never has been a time when the high class road horse
would bring a higher average price or sell as readily
and the building of speedways in the large cities, the
betterment of country roads and the great improvements
being constantly made in road vehicles, will continue to
keep him in the very front rank as a means to enjoy life
and acquire health in the open air. The business and
professional men are becoming more and more convinced
that the hour or two devoted to driving a good horse is
the very best medicine and the most pleasing to the taste
that was ever prescribed. Torpid livers and dull care are
banished by a brush on the road.and lethargy gives way to
pleasurable excitement, the heart beats faster, the blood
courses swifter and the red corpuscles therein betoken-
ing health grow more numerous. " Spend more time
out of doors" is the advice invariably given by physicians
to those who find their nerves giving way under the
Btrain of business devotion and close confinement, and
the best and cheapest way to follow this advice is to buy
a horse, and use him under the saddle or before a road
buggy. " There are twenty or thirty kinds of dyspep-
sia," said the late Dr. Hammond of New York, " but
there is no such thing as horseback riding dyspepsia."
An hour or two in the saddle or in a buggy behind a
good horse will enable "good digestion to wait on
appetite and health on both." And the American peo-
ple are just beginning to realize this fact.

RUNNING HORSE OWNERS should remember
that at all meetings to be held on the California circuit
this year, except the one at Santa Rosa (which is given
by the Trotting Horse Breeders Association), there will
be purses hung up for the thoroughbreds. Theae purses
will be liberal and made up over night so as to secure
the best contests and give all the horses stabled at the
respective tracks an opportunity to race. There are
enough good thoroughbreds remaining in California to
provide good racing at these district meetings and there
will be an opportunity for owners to win some very fair
purseB. The first meeting where the runners will start
will be at Napa, and the next at Vallejo. Both tracks
now offer excellent accommodations for horses and both
have fine training tracks. At Colusa, Willows, Red
Bluff, Chico, Marysville and Woodland generous pro"
viaion is being made for the runners, a fact that should
not be forgotten by the owners of thoroughbreds.

THE OREGON STATE FAIR stands every chance
of being made a great success this year, owing to the
fact that the elements which have antagonized it in the
past have put aside all differences and are laboring har-
moniously to have an exposition of the State's resources
that will be worthy of Oregon. Without knowing any-
thing of the actual facts in the matter, we cannot help
believing that the very efficient Secretary of the Oregon
State Agricultural Society, Mr. M. D. Wisdom, has done
much to bring about the present satisfactory condition
of affairs and we know his efforts in the future will
always be for the very best interests of the association
and the State. It will be an item of much interest to
horsemen to learn that the $1000 purse for 2:18 pacers
offered by the association filled with 22 entries, and that
two more purses of $1000 each have been offered. One
is for 2:20 trotters, the other for 2:14 pacers. The Ore-
gon State Fair is held during the week of September
17th to 22d.

AMERICAN STATESMEN are all discussing the
question as to whether the constitution follows the flag <
They have not yet determined it satisfactorily, but every-
body knows that the American horse follows the Ameri-
can flag wherever it floats, and from the way he is being
purchased by repreaentatives of other nations it is pretty
conclusive that they are afraid their flags will not float
unless the American horse is kept pretty close to them

■ DECORATION DAY is the day Bet for the annual
race meeting of the Golden Gate Park Driving Associa-
tion, and as the date approaches interest in the events to
be decided continues to increase. On Monday evening
next entries will close at the association's rooms in the
Palace Hotel. The rooms are large, but their capacity
will be tested to the utmost as few of the members will
be absent on this occasion. The Oakland track, where
the meeting is to be held, is now in excellent shape and
several of the trotters and pacers are already working
over it. Some of the fastest horses driven on the roads
here in San Francisco will^be entered for these races and
many are predicting that all the records heretofore made
at the association's meetings ^will be broken. The
O'Kane Cup race will have a big list of starters and will
prove one of the hottest contests ever seen. The judges
Belected are Messrs. G. L. Swett and A. E. Sachs, who
will see that all the rules are enforced to the letter.
The public are invited to attend these races. No admis-
sion fee is charged and every effort will be made to make
the day a pleasant one ior all. Next Saturday's edition
of the Breeder and Sportsman will contain a history
of the Golden Gate Park Driving Association, with por-
traits of the Board of Directors and many of the promi-
nent members and their horses. There will also be a
number cf views of scenes in Golden Gate Park and the
drives, making it a very attractive paper to send to
friends in the East or elsewhere.

Horse News from Oregon.

California Well Bepreaented.

IEA HOCKHEIMEE, Assistant Secretary of the
Glenn County Agricultural Association, and one of the
leading merchants of Willows, was in San Francisco
this week. He states that the Directors of that associa-
tion are doing everything in their power to make the
coming fair and race meeting a success, and reports that
the merchants of the town will raise a fund of about
$1200 to aid the enterprise. The Willows track is in
excellent shape, and several hundred dollars will be ex-
pended in putting the stalls and buildings in first class
repair for the occasion. The exhibit of live stock prom-
ises to be first class this year.

The Demand Increasing.

As an evidence of the popularity, and the consequent de-
mand for high class carriage, coach and saddle horses, it is
only necessary to look Ibackward over [the first part
of the season that is just now at its] height, saye the
New York Telegraph. The many important sales which
have been consummated not only by public auction, but aleo
by private treaty, shows plainly that the New York market
is best for the breeders and the dealers, and a glance at the
salesbooks of the varions auction marts and sale stables dis-
closes the fact that dependence altogether is not placed in
local buyers, as many animals have been Bold for use outside
of the city.

Cuba and Porto Bico are sending buyers here for first class
heavy harness horses, and it is not an uncommon eight either
at the American Horse Exchange or at Fiss, Doeir & Car-
roll's Emporium to see men and women from all over the
world bidding for the finest of the herd.

YeBterday a Cuban lady, who came all the way from
Havana with her father to purchase carriage horses, paid
$2000 for a handsome fast going cob, 14.3 hands high, at the
American Horse Exchange. The man who sold the horse,
Mr. John Spratley, says he has had numerous lookers from
Cuba, West Indies and South America.

It is marvelous where all the horses come from. Nearly
every State in the Union is represented daring the season.
From the blue grass region of Kentucky are sent specimens
of the saddle and harness horse. Iowa sends its best products,
and good prices are paid for them, considering that last fall
a horse from Iowa named Little Bonnie was bought by
Thomas W. Lawson for $3850, and Mr. Lawson has eaid he
is willing to pay $5000 for another animal that will prove
its equal. Illinois sends yearly a strong contingent. Vir-
ginia is represented also, while New York State stands in the
foremost rank, its horses beiog of a character that invariably
incites keen competition. The horses come from all over;
so do the buvers, and it is not uncommon at one of the great
auction sales to see a buyer follow a consignment from his
own town, and ontbid others for its possession.

[North Pacltic Rural Spirit. J

L. B. Lindsey is training the pacer Arab by Alexis and
the trotters Lady Careful 2:25 and Kitty Caution 2:25}, both
by Caution 2:25}.

L. C. McCormick Bays he is going to have Harry Mc. in
the show ring at the State Fair this year, together with his
full brother, and some of Harry's colts.

J. E. Reeves of Cornelius writes that Beulah by Alta-
mont has foaled a dark bay colt by McEinney 2:11 J, for size
and general conformation the best colt she has ever had.
The Rural Spirit has christened him "Jasper Beeves."

Sam Casto has added two Chebatis youngsters to his stable,
one a brown filly owned by Harrv 8meltzer, the other is Ned
Nichols promising colt Dr. Ami. Thiy are both three year
olds and are trotters.

Thos. Thompson of Pendleton Bold a pair of roadsters
Bired by Chehalis 2:04} during the horse show at Pendleton
to O. H. Holcomb of Seattle for $400. The team is a pretty
pair and Mr. Holcomb has secured a prize in horse flesh.

The half mile track at Pendleton, owned by Perringer &
Simpson, is kept in fine condition, and, if reports are correct,
there is more speed bottled up there than in any other place
in the State. This track contributed three entries to the
State Fair's $1000 stake for 2:18 pacers, and are confident of
winning.

G. W. Lucas, Missoula, Mont., is located at the race track
with 10 head including Lord Constantino (2) by Copper
King, dam Latatat, dam of Eatatat (3) 2:20:1, elc He also
has a three year old sister to the colt, that is a pacer and is
quite speedy. These two are owned by Dr. Mills. Lucas
has I. Deschamp'B four year old pacing stallion, sired by
Brino Tricks, and a three year old mare by the same Btallion.

The first annual horse show held in Pendleton, under the
anspices of the Commercial Association of that city, on the
5th inst., was a success in every particular. Notwithatandiog
the weather was threatening, there was a very large attend-
ance, coming from all parts of Umatilla countv. For several
years Pendleton has been the headquarters of Eastern Oregon
for the light harness horse, and the exhibit Saturday showed
what a great advance has been made in the past few years.
In the parade was the blood of Chehalis 2:04 j, Bonner N. B.
2:17, WeBtfield 2:22J, Del Norte 2.08, Caution 2:25J, McKin-
ney 2:11}, Pathmont 2:09:}, Altamont and other good ones.
Besides the trotting bred horses there were Erling bv Cadet,
the Hackney, imported by C. B. Wade, which attracted much
attention. Several of the heavier breeds were also repre-
sented. In all, there were upwards of 100 head in the
parade.

The Chamber of Commerce Stake for 2:18 pacers to be de-
cided at the Oregon State Fair in September, closed with 22

Yellowtail Won the Inaugural.

Jahes Golden saye: I have come to the conclusion that
horses can pull a light wagon as fast or faster than tbey can
a Bulky. The draft comes on the horse's back and mouth
when be is driven to sulky, and to wagon it all comes on his
shoulders. They go better gaited to wagon, and I think
faster. The performance of Bumps, Temper, Guy, Elloree
and Senator L. and others certainly furnish strong evidence
to prove it.

George West has figured out quite an ingenious scheme
to induce Fanny Foley to eat her share of hay and oats.
Fannie is a bundle of live wires and at the slightest provoca-
tion she will get so nervous that she will hardly eat enough
to keep in good health. George discovered that Fanny was
very selfish, which gave him an idea. He built a bay rack
in one corner of her stall and a feed box in the other and
took out a section of the partition near each, bo that the
horse stalled on either side can reach throngb and steal her
dinner. Fanny, of course, refused to stand for such an im-
position and sbe soon found that the only way she could pre-
vent her neighbors from getting her grub was to eat it her-
self. Her oat box is a patent contrivance that shows only a
mouthful at a time in eight.— Horse Review.

The St. Louis meeting opened Thursday of this week with
fine weather bnt a deep heavy track caused by the rains of a
few days previous. The priocipal event was the Inaugural
Handicap for which the California bred horse Yellowtail
was favorite and proved his class by winning all the way.
The other starters were Thrive, Duke of Baden, Laureate,
Pinochle and Nandora. The latter was hopelessly beaten at
the quarter, but the balance of the field remained bunched
behind the California colt all the way to the wire.

At the last furlong pole Matthews brought Thrive out of
the bunch with a rush and made a game bid for the lead, but
he could not overtake the flying leader, Yellowtail, wbo
passed the post an open length in advance of Thrive, the
latter one and one half lengths in front of Duke of Baden,
who was third. The time, 1:44}, was good considering the
condition of the track. The summary of the race is as
follows :

The Inaugural Handicap, purse $2000. for three year olds
and upward, ooe mile — -Yellowtail, 107 (Thorpe), 8 to 5,
won by a length; Thrive, 107 (J. Matthews), 4 to 1, second;
Duke of Baden, 108 (Vitittoe) 6 to 1, third. Time, 1:44}.
Laureate, Pinoohle and Nandora also ran.

test in 1903 closed with the largest list of entries in its

What Dickerson Thinks of Arion 2:07 3-4.

In view of the fact that Arion 2:07}, is back in training
and liable to be a factor in the stallion races it will be inter-
esting to learn what John Dickerson thinks of that horse.
Dickerson, it will be remembered, drove Arion to his record.
He was that season Budd Doble's assistant, and Doble was
sick in bed the day the son of Eleotioneer took his present
record. In a recent interview, with a representative of The
Horseman, Dickerson spoke of Arion and his chances as
followB :

He was in great shape when he trotted to his record; and
I have alwayB felt that he could have just as well taken the
stallion record that day as the mark he did get, 2:07}. It
was my first experience in driving for euch important time
records, and I went to Doble's rooms for instructions; he was
flat on his back with lumbago. "Don't beat 2:08," was what
he told me." The quarters were trotted in 32 seconds
apiece, except the last, which was in 31}; no horse ever went
easier or more within himself; and he certainly could have
gone a couple of seconds faster if my instructions bad al-
lowed the asking a faster mile. The borse was absolutely
sound when he left the stable, and was as fast and all right as
any one could wish. I think him just as great among grown
up trotters as he was among two year olds; wbich is the
same thing as saying that he is the greatest trotting stallion
that ever lived. He is now 11, but he has been jogged and
kept in shape; and there would be nothing surprising in his
being better than ever. But with all his greatness, or maybe
because of it, Arion is a horse of the very strongest likes and
dislikes. He cannot do too much for anyone that he under-
stands and gets along well with; be can't do too little for a
driver he dislikes. I have seen him trot like the most per-
fect piece of trotting machinery that you could imagine for
one driver, when a man that he dislikes was put in the Bulky
for the next heat, you'd have thought the horse dear at four
dollars. So what he will do this year is largely a question of
his feelings towards Henry Titer, who will of course drive
him. If Arion approves of the arrangement, and is as Bound
and right as he used to be, it will take something new in the
stallion line to even make things interesting; but if he gets
cranky, it will be about all that anyone will want to do to
keep him trottiog.

[May 19, 1900

The crowd that goes to Sausalito to play the Eastern races
at the poolrooms is not so large as last year.

E. Cobbigan shipped his stable of horse3 from Chicago
to New York last Thursday and has probably sailed for Eng-
land by this time.

"Skebts" Mabtin is in trouble in England and has been
suspended until June 9th for foul riding. The foul was
committed in a race in which he rode a colt to victory on
May] lth.

Feed Mossoit, who had charge of Marcus Daly's string
of two year olds last year, will train Lidy Contrary and May
Hempstead for W. P. Norton. The fillies were handled by
H. Eugene Leigh until recently.

8. B Swaetz of Reno, Nev., recently purchased a couple
of well bred two year old fillies from K. E. deB. Lopez of
Merriwa Stock Farm near Pleasanton. One was by imp.
Merriwa, the other by imp. Clieveden.

Bannockborn is now at St. Louis and it is thought will
stand training again. He is one of the best handicap horses
in America when all right, bat it is doubtful if his legs last
him through the year even though he is raced but little.

Phil Chjnn offered $5000 last week for the yearling colt
by St. George — Marie Jansen by Kingfisher, The yonng-
Bter is a full brother to Black Fox, the sensational two year
old that ran a half mile in 0:47 at Morris Park May 5th.

The new starting gate at Morris Park will be completed
in a few days and a public exhibition of its wording will be
given. Considerable intRrest is attached to this trial, as
great things are promised by the inventors for the new
barrier.

The Tennessee curiosity in the thoioughbr3d line, White
Cross, white colt, 4, by Palestine, dam Black Girl by Khar-
toum, won the Oakdale Steeplechase Hunt Parse at Nash-
ville, one mile and a half in 2:25. He was ridden by Mr.
Kirkman and carried 150 lbs.

The grand stand, the famous glass betting ring and all the
buildings of (he race track at Clifton, IN. J., were entirely
destroyed by fire Monday last. The total loss is $100,000.
The fire was the work of incendiaries. The village of Bine
Corners, back of the track, was saved only by a shin of the
wind.

At a meeting of the stewards of the Jockey Club held at
Morris Park, a license was granted to Jockey Patrick Mc-
Cue. He had been suspended indefinitely last season pend-
ing an investigation of suspicious circumstances connected
with races in which he had ridden. McCue is a clever
jockey.

Michael F. Dw?eb, the once famous plunger, has turned
all of his racing interests over to his son, Charles F. Dwyer.
The elder Dwyer has been feeble and in very poor health for
some years past, and ''Charley" has managed bis interests
since the season opened. Youcg Mr. .Dwyer sailed for
Europe on Tuesday.

Capt. 8. 6. Brown has purchased of T C. McDowell the
bay colt Batten, 4, by Haydcn Edwards, or imp. Candiemas,
dam Sudie McNairy. Terms private. Batten is well en-
gaged in Eastern events, among them the Brooklyn and Sub-
urban Handicaps. He will be handled by Joe Redman,
who selected tim for Capt. Brown.

The Ruinart Stock Farm in Sonoma county has magnifi-
cent pasturage this year and many of the runners that have
been raced here through the winter are now enjoying a
vacation there in the grass up to their knees. Wbater-Lou,
Prestome, Morelia, Torsina, Herculean, Amelia Fonso and
many others were Bent there last week. Bonnibel is also at
the farm and has been bred to imp. Tarcoola.

A carload of runners left Oakland Wednesday for Den-
ver. Trainer Randall had in the car Gauntlet, Midlove,
Panamint, St. Germain and Montanus, McMahon sent
Stromo, Croker and Alaria. Sam Morton's string consisted
of Pilot, Game Warden, Regelong and Carolla. All these
horses will be raced at both Colorado Springs and Denver
and return in time to take in the California circuit.

At the sale of horses belonging to the late Wm. H. Clark
of New York, Ranastar brought $11,000, Major Gilroy and
Lucky Bird, three vear olds, brought $3200 and $2600 re-
spectively, and of the two year olds, Sweet Tooth bv imp.
Conrad sold for $2250. Light Blaise by St. Blaise $1200, The
Musketeer by imp. Masetto for $3000, and Seminole by Iro-
quois for $3000. Thirty bead were disposed of at an average
of $1234 per head.

Two of the Oaks candidates that have been the most
talked about were beaten Wednesdav at Louisville in a way
that shows that they are either not quite up to a good race or
are not of as high a cUbs as they have been considered.
Anna Bain, who was an odds-on favorite in the first race of
the day, ran second to Gleuron, with Scarlet Lily third. Un-
sightly finished fifth in the Premier stake after tiptoeing her
field to the head of the stretch.

The first of the classic three year old events in the East —
the Withers — waB run at Morris Park last Saturday and
William C. Whitney landed it with Kilmarnock, that high
priced youngster for which he paid something over $10 000
or the strength of a fast mile and then was greatlv disap-
pointed when he ran so badly in the Metropolitan. The
>. It won as he pleased in 1:41}, Chacornac, the Futurity
inner of last fall, was a pronouoced favorite, with Kilmar-
ock and Mesmerist about equal second choices.

Speaking of ChBrlev Patterson's disposal of Handwork
for a reported price of $15,000, Bert Knapp savs: "The colt
is worth every cent of it. I rode them all at the track this
spring, and there's no doubt about him being a great horse.
There'n one in Patterson's string I would rather have, though,
at $5000, the difference in price considered. I am referring
to a bay fellow by Knight of Ellerslie, dam Pickwick. They
call him All Green, because he waB born on St. Patrick's
Day.

The Btarting gate seems to meet with popular approval on
the English race tracks. The facte that no recall flag is used
and that jockeys are strictly disciplined across the water are
reasons why the gate is successful there. The majority of
poor starts in California are made by the jockeys who have
been instructed to ''get off in the lead.'' There are too
many owners and trainers who are not satisfied with an even
break to make any style of starting anything bat a very
difficult undertaking.

The Chicago Jockey Club officials have reinstated Jockey
J. Dagan. The latter got into trouble over a ride on Harry
Nutter. This same horse was responsible for four riders
being suspended at the Chicago tracks last season. This in
itself would lead one to believe that the riders were not
wholly to blame for Nutter's inconsistent running- Dogan
is a clever lightweight. He is under contract to Tomlinson
& Co , who have among others the good horses Serrano,
Great Bend and Cherry Leaf.

Charles Smith, the Chicago Biatd of Trade operator,
who owns Lieuteoant Gibson, the winner of the Kentucky
Derby, has declared his willingness to match bis colt against
Mesmerist for $25,000 a side, for any distance from three-
quarters of a mile upward, the colts to carry equal weights
and the race to be run on the day set, no matter what the
weather or track conditions are. The offer is open also to
James R. Keene for a match race between Lieutenant Gibson
and Chacornac, and Mr. Smith offers to make a side wsger
of $50,000 a side if Chacornac and Lieutenant Gibson meet
in a stake race.

The racing associations around New York are making war
on the touts. It is to be hoped that it will be a war of ex-
termination. The California Jockey Club has done much
during the past winter to rid its track of the tout evil and
next season we understand will take still more vigorous and
strict measures against the touting gentry. Nothing does so
much to bring racing into disrepute as a -lot of touts whose
liberties are unrestricted at race tracks. They are nearly
always io the employ of some scheming bookmaker. The
managers of the district fair meetings this year should expel
all touts from the fair grounds.

The American jockeys are demonstrating and the English
people are all beginning to admit that when it comes to piloting
race horses the Americans completely outclass the Britishers.
The reason for their superiority lies in the fact that they are
quicker witted and have been trained to think and act
quickly. The English have for so many years followed the
plan of getting away easily, running the first part of their
races leisurely and reserving all their strength and speed for
the finish that they are Blow to understand that as many
races can be won at the start as at the finish. American
jockeys often see an opportunity which the average Eoglish
jockey would pass unnoticed because he has not been trained
to keep his eyes open.

Hale a second was clipped off the track record for four
furlongs at Lakeside last week by Jake Morklein's handsome
brown colt, Garry Herrmann, by Escher, dam Silk Gown.
The youngster carried weight for age, and came out from the
bunch soon after the start with a good burst of speed. Sad
Sam was a neck in front of Sig Levy at the fall of the fUg,
with the others lapped. At the middle of the turn Garry
Herrmann got through, and at the head of the stretch was
three lengths in the lead. He was not headed, but he did
not win without a strong argument from Sad Sam, Sig Levy
and William Acfc. Hermann won in a furious drive by a
length from Sig Levy, and Sad Sam third; Ack dropping
back right at the end. The time was 0:4S£.

Lieut. Gibson, the recent winner of the Kentucky Derby,
is a very striking illustration of the lottery of breeding. His
dam, Sophia Hardy, by imp. Glengarry, dam Unaka, by En-
quirer, was sold at the Lexington fall sales of 1S95 for $25
to Gentry Bros , acting for the breeding firm of Baker &
Gentry. She was then in foal to Pardee, and the next spring
foaled Hardy Pardee, a horse of considerable class. In 1896
she was bred to G. W. Johnson, who was then a free stallion,
and from that anion, in ls97, Lieut Gibson was foaled.
Lieat. Gibson was developed by Baker & Gentry, and in the
spring of his two year old form, was sold to C. H. Smith,
his present owner, for $10,000, and is the best three year old
in America at the present time, judged from his great per-
formance in the Derby.

The temporary secretaryship of the New Louisville
Jockey Club is in competent hands. The office is well or-
dered and the sffiirs of the meeting generally, move on in a
frictionless manner. Beyond question every experience is
valuable to us. Die Dreseen has spent years in the offices
of the various racing associations in the West, without which
he would in no wise been able to so successfully fill the shoes
of Mr. Charles F. Price. As capable and earnest as was
Mr. Price, Dressen has filled the office most acceptably to
everybody, officers, members of the association, horsemen,
bookmakers and the public. Surely in him, although we
understand his position is only temporary, the New Louis-
ville Jockey Club has found a worthy successor to the late
incumbent of the secretaryship. — Thoroughbred Record.

At the Newmarket spring meeting last Wednesday, the
Prince of Wales' Diamond Jubilee, the winner of this year's
2000 Guineas Stake, won the Newmarket Stakes. J. Muskegs
Cbevening, with Sloan np, finished second, and A. Hender-
son's Gotdwife, with Rigby in the Raddle, waB third, in a
field of s:x horses. The stake is of £30 each, half forfeit,
with £2000 pounds added, for three year olds. Guidwife led
until half a mile from home, when Diamond Jubilee drew in
front, followed by Chevening, and won a good race by a bead.
The betting was 2 to 1 on Diamond Jubilee, 3 to 1 against
Cbevening, and 33 to 1 against Gjidwife. J. Reiff rode
Evasit in the race for a plate of 150 sovereigns and finished
first. Richard Crocker's Imnab, with J. Reiff up, won an
all ag d selling race. Marialva, ridden by Sloan, was second.
Sloan took the Wednesday welter handicap on Rice.

I The race for the Chester cup, of 2250 sovereigns (and a
cap valued at 50 sovereigns), about two miles and a quarter,
was run at the Chester spring meeting May 9th, and was
won by Mr. C. A. Brown'B Rough Side, ridden by Sloan.
The Duke of Portlands Manners was second, and Lord Car-
narvon's Baldor third. Fourteen horses ran, The betting
was 7 to 1 against Rough Side, 6 to 1 against Manners, and
100 to 8 against Beldur. Rough Side made all the running,
and won easily by three lengths. A length and a half separ-
ated the second and third horses. Ultimatum, ridden by J.
Reiff, was fourth.

A change has been made in the Canadian circuit dates.
Instead of the Highland Park Club's meetings commencing
at Detroit, as heretofore announced, the first meeting will be
at Fort Erie, opposite Buffalo, and will begin June 12 and
ruo to July 4. The Canadian Derby will be ran on the
opening day. Then follow the meetings at Montreal and at
Highland Park, Detroit. The former will commence July
7 and end July 21. The Highland Park meeting commences
Jul? 26 with the running of the Turf Congress Stake and
will end Aogust 21. There will be fall meetings at Fort
Erie and at Highland Park, tbe latter probably closing the
Eea6on, after the Toronto Hunt Clubs's meeting the last of
October. The first meeting on the circuit will be at Toronto,
which will run for nine days, commencing May 24, and
where no purses will be less than $400. Hamilton follows
Toronto and precedes Fort Erie.

The chief event on tbe card at St. Louis last Tuesday was
the free handicap at a mile and fifty yards, in which Bangle,
John Bright, Batten, Salvaree and Arthur Behan tried con-
clusions. The race proved to be one of the prettiest of the
meeeting. Batten set out to make the pace, and kept in
front until the half was reached. Here he was joined by
Bangle, who soon forged to the front, John Bright running
easily in fourth place close np. They reached the head of
the stretch going like steam engines, and the mile was rnn
in the remarkably fast time of 1:39 2-5. The early pace be-
gan to tell on Batten and Bangle, though they kept gamely
at it. In the btretch Winkfield, with a well timed rush,
brought John Bright to the front and won by a length and a
half in 1:42$, which equals the world's record for the distance,
which was established by Floreczo in Chicago on July 6,
1898. John Bright's performance was much more creditable,
because he carried 122 pounds, while Florenzo only had up
93 pounds. The winner is a five year old by Sir Dixon, dam
Brightlight by Hindoo, and started but five times laBt year,
winning four of them.

The Chicago Inter Ocean speaks thus of Secretary Price's
resignation : Charles Price's resignation as Secretary of the
Louisville Jockey Club ir.dicates how completely the senti-
ment that surrounds the famous old Churchill Downs has
given way Io the sordid status of latter-day racing. Price is
a man of high standing on the tnrf. He was initiated undei
the tutelage of M. Lewis Clark, and Colonel Clark loved rac-
ing for tbe sport's sake. He was always striving for the
ideal. With this spirit he thoroughly imbued Price. Prico
has always stood for, and striven for, the best there is in
racing Years ago Colonel Clark said that, when he should
pass away he hoped that his mantle wnnld fall on the
shoulders of Price. It did, but when the new Louisville
Jockey Club was organized the poolroom-horse-owning com-
bination, which is now in complete control, began to pre-
dominate. Under these circumstances the withdrawal of
Price was only a question of time. For the sake of the sport
around Louisville, it is to be regretted, bat mayhap, on the
whole, Mr. Price is to be congratulated upon getting free
fiom a confederacy which regards racing as a "game" pure
and simple.

Great Britain continues to be bewildered by the con-
tinned success of the American jockeys, and cannot account
for their beatiDg the English riders. One of the leading
authorities on English racing matters, however, puts this in
a nutshell, in an article in the Man of the World saving:
"Oar Eoglish jockeys appear to have relinquished all efforts
at competing with the indefatigable team of trans-Atlantic
horsemen cow with us. Had some of our young aspirants
the energy and determination to get to the front possessed by
Sloan, Martin, tbe Reirls, and Rigby their chances of success
would be considerably improved. At present they, with
some half a dozen exceptions, appear absolutely paralyzed at
the turn things have taken. It was a notable fact that the
Reiff brothers were first or second in every race, and only
first and second, respectively, at Hurst Park last Saturday.
Each won two races, aod the younger was thrice and the
older once, second. This was a really wonderful afternoon's
performance. It will surely be some lime before either
"lengthen their stirrup leathers.' The youneest of these
gifted, industrious, yet quiet and unassuming jockeys is an
example to some of our own school, who no sooner get to the
front than, like the frog, they swell to busting. These two
young American horsemen are really fine examples of their
craft for a majority of our pekevs who are gradually allow-
ing themselves to be snuffed out."

Already much interest is being manifested in the prob-
able result of the American Derby, to be run at Washington
Park, Jane 23d. Betting with the future books on the event
has become quite brisk within the last few days, aod com-
missions are being sent from all parts of the country. This
shows that the race has lost none of its prestige during the
years that it was not ran. Many changes have been made in
the quotations against the horses entered since the quotations
of the several Derbies "down the line." As was to have
been expected, Lieutenant Gibson, bv his good showing in
the Kentucky Derby, and later in the Clark Stakes, at once
caught the public fancy. Gibson's price as a result has been
cat from 6 down to 4 to 1. The failare of Mesmerist to run
up to expectations in his first start at Morris Park has sent
the price about this cnlt from S to r2 to 1, but his clever
race yesterday in the Withers Stakes may alter this price
against him. On the strength of a strong play on Sam
Phillips, which has a good following at Memphis, where he
has been given bis work, the figures against him have been
shortened from 15 to 10 to 1. The Conqueror, a colt her-
alded a few months ago as a world beater, has forfeited the
public's confidence by bis poor racing this season. Accord*
iogly, he is now 30 to 1. Brigadier, from August Belmont's
stable, is now at 15 to 1. This colt is one of the most prom-
ising three year olds in the country, and the Eastern trainers
class him better now than they did in hiB two year old form,
when he finished second in the Futurity. Advance Guard
is 10 to 1, F. W. Brode 30 to 1 and Yellowtail 30 to 1.

Across the bay the Empire Gun Club grounds at Alameda
Junction will be open for practice shooting under the aus-
pices of the club. Side pools will be in order. Birds will
be trapped at one cent each.

"The highest average in blue rock shooting was made by
Beaver who broke eighty-nine out of ninety-five targets,"
bo it was claimed by the News. A perusal of the followiog
scores made will show the statement to be erroneous. The
high average honors should go to Otto Feudner who beat
Seaver's record at both blue rocks and live birds.

"Considerable surprise was manifetted by maoy of the con-
testants when informed that Mr. Seaver had waived all claim
to moneys which hiB scores entitled him to receive " This
generosity, we believe, was prompted by instructions from
the manufacturing corporation which he represents; 't IB Mr.
8eaver's practice to shoot for birds only and not to enter
into side poolB or compete for money or ether prizes. As the
shooter does not appear to have been in first moneys nor the
money to any great extent we fail to see the importance of
the laudatory notice given in the Newe.

John H. Durst, the popular captain of the Empire Gun
Club, and who incidentally runs a newspaper in Wheatland
for pleasure and also a few hop gardens in that vicinity for
profit, succeeded himself as the holder of the medal em-
blematic of the live bird championship of Northern Califor-
nia. A bonus in the shape of $37 50 entrance mooey went
with the medal. Another medallist was J. H. Hotchkiss of
Yuba, who won the Gold Dust trophy. The six-man team
shoot honors were captured by Chico shooters who secured
7S out of a possible 90 targets. In other events —

The probabilities of a twelve-man team race for a trophy
between the Empire and Olympic Gun clubs within the near
future are Bomewhat uncertain unless modifications are made
in the conditions of the proposed match. The Empire club
in their "defi" submit that the first contest take place on the

association grounds at Ingleside, the second race to be shot Fendner is Williamson, w. H. 16 Feo(jner, F..

at Alameda Point and the place of holding the third and
final shoot to be named by the winning team or be deter-
mined by lot should each club have a win to its credit.

The condition unacceptable to the challenged club is a
proviso that will bar any shooter who is connected with "the
trade" from shooting with either team, the challenging club
insisting upon none but "amateur" shooters competing in tha
contests.

The Olympic Gun Clnb contends that all their members
are entitled to equal privileges, notwithstanding their busi-
ness vocations and will not entertain any proposal to shoot
without a representative complement of active members on
a clab team.

The improvements in the pigeon shooting section of the
Ingleside grounds is noticeable and meets with the approval
of all the wing shots.

The system of procuring a full snpply of birds and taking D^Mei'ds'/H.

care of them in proper quarters adjacent to the trap grounds Harkey s wade

is now workiDg most enectively.

The blue rock shooting section has not been overlooked,
improvement keeping pace witb the growing demand for in-
creased facilities to smash mud saucers.

The Donohoe Silver trophy will be contested for on the
Association gronnds at Ingleside on Wednesday, May 30,
1900, at 9 a. M. The race will be a handicap at twenty-five
birds, open to all, no entrance fee, birds 25 cents each. Tiefl
will be shot off at ten birds per man. Dr. 8. E Knowles,
M. C. Allen and J. J. Sweeney will act as a handicap com-
mittee. The handicaps will be allotted at not less than
twenty-six nor more than thirty-one yards.

Any Bhooter losing two birds must drop out (except in tie
shoots) with the privilege of re-entry when all the other
contestants have lost the same number of birds. Shooters
intending to enter the contest will forward their names to
Mr. M. C. Allen, Olympic Gun Club. Entries close on May
28th- at 8:30 p.m.

The trophy, a beautifully Jesigned and valuable silver cup,
is on exhibition at the Btore of Messrs. Clabroogh, Golcher &
Company, No. 538 Market street, and will become the abso-
lute property of the shooter making the highest score.
American Association rules to govern the race.

The San Francisco Gun Club members and visiting shoot.
ers smashed targets during the club regular blue rock shoot
at Ingleside on Sunday last. In the club race "Wilson**
went across the shooting platform without missing a single
one of his twenty-five targets. W. J. Golcher scored twenty-
four and P. B. Bekeart, O. O. Nauman and Ed Forster struck
the twenty-three hole. Among the straight scores during tbe
day were Fred Fendner, E. Klevesahl, "U. M. C," H.
Justins and A. M. Shields, who each ecored a possible twenty
in the handicap diamond locket race. C. C. Nauman, F.
Feudner, E. Klevesahl, John Karney, Edg. Forster and "U.

The tournament at Red Bluff last Sunday, under the bub.
pices of the Red Bluff Gun Club, brought together a large
number of sportsmen and was conducted in a manner to win eleven
many complimentB from attending shooters. Among the visit.
iogshooterB were M. O. Feudner, W. H. Williamson, W. H.
8eaver and Dr. C. W. Hibbard of this city, J. H. Durst of
Wheatland, J. M. Hotchkiss of Yuba City, Ed Sanborn of
Bacramento, G. Barham and V. C. Richards and the two
BaliBburys of Chico, J. W. Bteward of Maryeville, M. E.
Dittmar and A. Dowbroweky of Redding, Dr. Thos. J.
Edgecomb of 8hasta, C. J. Branham and J. A. Bailey of
"*>es J- H. Childs of Del Norte
county and many others. In the evening the gun club
members and their guests were entertained at a banquet
given at the Imperial Hotel, about 100 diners being seated at
the tables. DouglaB 8. Cone, of Red Bluff, presided in his
usual happy manner. The banqueters were listeners to a
number of apt speeches by J. H. Durst, Ed Sanborn, V. C.
BnrresB, J. W. 8teward, C. J. Branbam, Ed G. Carter, G.
G. Barham, J. H. Hotchkiss, John N. Childs, Dr. Hibbard,

city, who was justly very complimentary in hiB allusions to Hotchkiss

meda Gun Club, took thirty "teapot lids" straight from the
maugatrap before scoring a "lost bird."

first honors on a clean score. In the money match following
the purse divisions were: FirBt money Webb, Becond Howlett,

The program announced for the Lincoln ehoot tomorrow
embraces the club race at twenty-five targets; a ten-bird race,
entrance 75 cents, high guns; four fifteen bird races, class
shooting, entrance 75 cents. The continuous break medal
race will also be an event to be shot up tomorrow.

The Empire Oun Club has challenged the Ban Francisco
Gun Club to shoot a twelve-man team race, the conditions
of the contest being the same as were offered the Olympic
Guo Club.

The Marin county ordinance, or rather that portion of it
which prohibited the use of repeating shot guns in the pur-
suit and killing of feathered game in the county, was on
Wednesday, in the United States Circuit Court, by Judge
Ross, declared to be unconstitutional, thus, for the time be-
ing, settling a much vexed question. It goes without saying
that the decision is not an acceptable one to the majority of
sportsmen whom we have met, the prevailing sentiment is
that the repeating shotgun is not the weapon for a sportsman
and is made for the purpose of a rapid and wholesale de-
structive effect in killing wild game and should be discount-
enanced by all true sportsmen.

It is reported that the Marin County Fish and Game Pro-
tective Association and also the county authorities will take
the case to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and if necessary
carry it finally to the United States Supreme Court.

This case was commenced in a justice's court in Marin
county, W. A. Marshall, the petitioner in habeas corpus
before the Circuit Court, having been arrested for a violation
of the ordinance. The original complaint was dismissed and
the ordinance amended by the Board of Supervisors. Upon
a second arrest, Marshall pleaded guilty and was fined.
The case was appealed to the Superior Court, Judge
Angellotti, rendered a decision upholding the connty
ordinance. The case was taken to the Supreme Court but
the question was not entertained by that tribunal. Subse-
quently the case was placed on habeas corpus before a United
States court with the result above noted. The decision of
Judge Ross, in full, will be published next week,

Jack Fanning is now due for congratulations having re-
cently taken unto himself a wife. Mr. and Mrs. Fanning

We wish him and his bride a long career of good luck and

The "glad hand" extended by one of the visitors from
this city to sportsmen at the Bed Bluff tournament last
Sunday on behalf of the trap shooting fraternity of this
locality has been most generally repudiated among shooters,
as our self constituted envoy has never been credited with a
knowledge of even the rndimentary principles of trap shoot-
ing let alone arranging a tournament. Shooters here are
not congenial to the idea of "grand stand" heralds.

The contest for the individual championship medal at the
Los Angeles Gun Club tournament nearly two years ago is
still remembered by many Southern California shooters by
reason of its unsavory termination. The following from the
Ked Bluff News will no doubt be received down South with
broad grins. In mentioning one of the shooters present at
the tournament last Sunday the News Bays — "he waived all
moneys he was entitled to and directed that the same be
divided among those on the line with him. His generosity
caused many of the shots to open their eyes in wonder, as he
could have pocketed a large sum of money had he bo wished.
His very generous action wbb appreciated by everybody.
But you know trap shooters are royal fellows, anyway."

We are inclined to believe the "generosity" above cited was
really the emotion commonly designated as a "martyr's
resignation."

A bill has just passed the Senate that is of interest to
hunters and campera. It provides that any person who shall
wilfully or maliciously set on fire, or cause to be Bet on fire,
any timber, underbrush or grass upon the public domain, or
shall leave or suffer fire to burn unattended near any timber
or other inflammable material, shall be deemed guilty of a
misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof in any district
court of the United States having jurisdiction of the same,
shall be fined in a sum not more than $5000 or be imprisoned
for a term of not more than two years, or both.

Section 2 of the act provides that any person who shall
build a fire in or near any forest, timber or other inflammable
material upon the public domain shall before leaving said
fire totally extinguish the same. Any person failing to do bo
shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon convic-
tion thereof in any district court of the United Slates having
jurisdiction of the same shall be fined in a sum not more
than (1000 or be imprisoned for a term of not more than one
year, or both.

All tines collected nnder the provisions of this act will be
paid into the public school fund of the county in which the
oflenBe is committed.

Some of our pigeon shots will be interested to hear of the
ei celleot performances recently put up by a Mr. A. E. Smith
at North Brighton, Australia.

Operating from the extraordinary distance of 34 yards, he
deieated 25 other competitors, each allov. ed three nomina-
tions, and secured first prize with 28 kills. He lost his third
nomination early in the contest, went six rounds on his
second, and carried bis first right to the end, making a total
of 38 kills out of a possible 40. Subsequently he fired one
shot from 35} yards, but failed to stop the bird.

The performance is unparalleled in the annals of pigeon
shooting in Australia, and will probably stand out by itself
as a remarkable accomplishment for many years to come.

Mr. Smith has most worthily upheld the title of champion
wing shot of Australasia, which he won from Donald Mack-
intosh & Co. in August, 1898. Exactly two years ago, at a
similar meeting to the one noted above, he secured first and
second prizes, accounting for 25 birds on each nomination
from 28 yards. Then in October, with his championship
laurels thick upon him, he divided a £100 Open Handicap
at Brunswick, of! 31 yards, with 16 kills, won second prize
Ladies' Trophies, North Brighton, off 32 yards, with 11 kills.
During last year he won the Patrons' Trophy, of 50 guineas,
right out, off 32} yards, divided Caulfield Cop Handicap, of
100 sovereigns, on two nominations, off 32} yards, stopping
24 birds in succession, and finished up by securing £90 of
prize money out of the November Pigeon Handicaps. The
present year he commenced exceedinglv well by gaining a
division of the M. S. and P. S. Club's £150 Autumn Handi-
cap, from 32 yards, and by repeating his 189S performance
in shooting his two nominations right through the M. G. C.
Australian Cup Handicap of £185, grassing 32 birds right
off the reel from 32} yards. — Asian.

Stow Lake Recreation,

The seventh contest of the classification series by the mem-
bers of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club wbb completed
Saturday and Sunday. Weather conditions were favorable
to a great degree on the afternoon of the first day. In dis.
tance casting H. C. Golcher sent his line out 124 feet for the
top score, Lovett, Mailer and Everett also casting over the
100 foot mark. In fact, it will be Been by reference to the
scores that fifty per cent, of the long distance work was np
to and over this distance. Henry E. Skinner, who has shown
steady improvement on previous excellent work in the
accuracy events, lead on Saturday with a score of 96 4-12 per
cent. The showing by all the casters in this event on Satur-
day seems to be above the average. The high men in deli-
cacy and lure-casting were Golcher and Lovett respectively.

On Sunday morning a continuation of almost perfect
weather made the outing and practice workdoably agreeable
for the rod wielders. In long distance A. E. Lovett's
braided Bilk was extended a distance of 122 feet. In aeon,
racy C. G. Young ranked first followed closely by Lovett and
Muller. In the delicacy casting Mansfield was first, with
87 5-12 per cent; Young second, with 84 7-12 per cent, and
Golcher third, with 84 4-12 per cent. In the lore casting
Lovett was high man, with 92 per cent; Mansfield Becond,
87 3-5 per cent, and Stratton third place, with 78 3-5 per
cent. The official scores are the following :

Starting and Stocking a Fish Pond,

Fish being the principal element in the sport afforded by
the gentle art the source of supply is rapidly becoming a
eerions question in man's erstwhile favorite and now nearly
depleted angling waters. Fish culture has done much in the
way of re-stocking numerous streams and lakes; heretofore
this work hes been carried on under Government or State
auspices. Such is now the perfection arrived at in the arl
of propagating fish that many ardent anglers and private in-
dividuals are successfully coping with the subject. The
following article by W. B. Scott in the Denver Field and
Farm has in a general way many-practical features:

"The man who has a lake in a good location at an altitude
of not over 10,000 feet, supplied with water from a running
stream not contaminated with slimes from mineral rock
of concentrating and reduction works, almost anywhere
in Colorado, is in position to reap far greater benefits from
his efforts in raising trout under the present status of fish
culture than was he who started operations twenty years ago
in the same industry. At the former time the fish cnltnrUt
was obliged to have spring water conducted into his hatching
house for the purpose of hatching the spawn and he was
obliged to keep and feed one pound of adult trout for one
year to secure 500 eggs — a pound female giving 1000 eggs.

On that basis he would obtain 250,000 eggs from 1000
pounds of fish. These 1000 pounds were worth in the mar*

ket fifty cents a pound, or $500. When to this is added the
coat of a daily attendant to look after the screens, attend to
picking over the eggs, feeding the adult fish, etc., it will be
found that there was great expense connected with the opera-
tions and the business did not pay. It was formerly con-
sidered necessary to have a number of ponds in which to
keep the fish of different ages with a view to preventing the
big fish from eating the little ones; but if the lake is large
enough and the big fish are fed enough and there are several
lines of palings driven in the lake near the hatching trough
or where the little fish are placed in the lake very few of the
small fry will be destroyed by their larger brothers; for the
inBtinct of the trout is to hide as soon as'it can move and the
larger it grows the more careful it is to guard against danger
from its enemies, which are legion.

Trout do not take kindly to confinement in a pond and
will surely take advantage of the first overffow or leakage to
escape, if possible, and a large trout will go through a very
small hole. They should be kept in the hatching troughs
until eyed. The term eyed signifies that state of progress in
the development of the eggs when the eye can be seen, which
showB plainly that they are fertile, at which stage they can
be shipped thousands of miles in perfect safety and shippers
will guarantee that there will not be a loss of over two per
cent, "after that time if the eggs are properly treated. The
government hatchery in Colorado has demonstrated some
things which are of great interest and beneBt in the science
of piscacultare, among which are the fact that a high alti-
tude is favorable to the production by artificial meanB of
good, hardy small fry, and that feed is one of the chief
factors to be considered by the man who attempts the raising
of trout in paying quantities.

The trout can live on a very small amount of food. I
know of one that lived in a spring well for two years with
nothing to eat being given to it. The fish is voracious and
will eat almost anything and everything that comes along in
the course of the flow of water which is not too large to pass
into the stomach and the greater the variety the better for
the production of flesh. Food is the chief factor in the
raising of salmon and that fact renders necessary the location
of a good fish farm near a large city in order to be able to
obtain cheap refuse meat. The good fish farm does not
require much prepared food for feeding the fish. If the
stream of water supplying the lake runs a good distauce
among the hills it will be filled with insect life and the lake
itself will contain a great many eggs of most of the ephemera
and this larvae is just suited to the fisb in connection with a
small fish dinner. Very often, however, nothing will be
found in the stomach larger than the mosquito or the larvae
of the may-fly, while at other times helgramites may be

found by the dozen.

A tackle case I saw the other day struck me as being an
extremely good illustration of multum in parvo. The case
was made of heavy japanned tin, and its outside dimensions
were 2| by 5 by 1UJ inches. Both top and bottom were
hinged at the back, and fastened when shut by bolts of heavy
wire sliding in metal loops. The case, therefore, really con-
sisted of two shallow boxes of unequal depth, back to back,
divided by a fixed bottom, one of the boxes being used for
tackle, the other for hooks and leaders. The tackle section,
which was 1| inches deep, was divided into five compart-
ments, one 3 by 5 inches, to accommodate two large floats
for Bait water fishing, or for phantom or other artificial min-
nows when used on fresh water. There was also room in this
compartment for a good sized disgorger for releasing a hook
that had been swallowed by a too voracious fish. One com
partmeot, 2 by 3 inches, held two small adjustable floats for
fresh water fishing. Another compartment, 2} uy 3 inches,
was divided at the bottom into two equal sections to hold
swivels and small skittering fly spoons, while a tray, divided
into three sections, fitted into the top of this compartment
and held various sizes of sinkers and split shot. A compart-
ment measuring 6 by 2 inches held trolling spoons, gangs, or
squids, while the last compartment, measuring 4 3-8 by 2
inches, was divided by a shallow partition to hold a small
ecrew driver and flat oil can, wbile a shallow tray resting on
top of the partition held a pair of small fisherman's scales
and a combination knife, containing corkscrew, reamer and
punch. Fastening down the lid and turning the box over,
the other case was found to be a trifle less than one inch in
depth. Across the short way of this part of the box, three-
quarters of an inch from each end, ran two strips of cork,
securely fastened to the bottom. Into this the points of the
hooks were fastened. The distance between the strips, eight
inches, allowed plenty of room for long snells, wbile low
longitudinal partitions allowed eight sizes of hooks to be
kept separate. Besting upon the low partition and hinged
to the upper edge of the back of the box was a shallow tray ,
7 inches long by 4] wide, divided into two compartments.
This held leaders, which were kept in place by two wires
running diagonally across the top of each compartment.
ThiB tray being birged and lifting up out of the way, gave
easy access to the assortment of hooks. A wire handle which
folded flat when not in use, was attached to tbe back of the
case, and three square tin loops — one on each end and one in
the centre of the front — were arranged so that a three-quarter
inch strap could be run through them should it be desirable
to sling tbe box over one's shoulder when ridiog a wheel or
following the banks of a stream or pond. The owner had
this case made to order for $4, and having used it for both
fresh and salt water fishing for the last ten yeats has never
experienced any desire to make a change in its size or
arrangements.

" But there is no place for a reel," you may say. Most
emphatically there is not. Tbe only place for a reel, when
unattached, is in a chamois bag, closed with a draw string,
and which may be carried in the pocket. The chamois will
keep the rael in good condition, while carrying it in a tackle
case will do it any amount of injury. Many anglers, how-
ever, find consolation in carrying their reels in reel-boxes
made of heavy leather and of which a variety can be found
in the stores on Sportsmen's Row.

Deputy Fish and Game Commissioner'j Kerchival on the
evening of the 13th inst. arrested John Smith and J. Mc-
Guinness, of Chico, for illegal fhhing in the Sacramento
river. The attention of the Commissioners had been directed
to that section for some lime past, and up »rj investigation
Deputy Kerchival, who had been patrolling the river near
the "big bend" below Chico landing, discovered evidence of
illegal fishing in the shape of a smalt meshed net which was
-found drying on the river bank. Returning to Chico, he
-secured men to go with him and last Sunday night watched
the place. The watchers lay.in the brush at a point where

they could command a good view of the fishetmeu and there
saw them cast their Beioe. While the men were hauling tbe
seine Kercheval and his assistants crossed the river and were
at the landing place when McGutnnesB and Smith came
ashore. The deputy saw the net was of an illegal sized
mesh, and he at once placed McGuinness and Smith under
arrest.

The arrested men were brought to Chico and were then re-
leased on $100 bonds each.

But the deputy was suspicious that there were other
matters at their camp which needed attention and returning
he searched the camp and found two comparatively fresh
deer hides, one of a buck and one of a doe. He at once took
charge of tbe hides and the net which the men had been
using and returning to town swore to another complaint
against the men, charging them with killing deer out of
season. McGuinness and Smith were then arrested on this
charge and were arraigned before Judge Collins on this
charge also. Their bail was fixed at $100 on this latter
charge, which amount they furnished. Tbe date of the
preliminary examination has not been set.

The size of mesh requited by law is 7A inches between the
knots when the mesh is drawD tightly. The mesh used by
the men under arrest was but 4 inches.

Effective treatment for the painful wounds caused by the
fins or spines of fish is the following: Make a paste, by
moistening with saliva, of salt and gunpowder, equal parts,
and bind on the puncture with a soft cotton or linen cloth.
Renew the paste frequently. When the wound is first made,
the venom should be freely Bucked out; thiB treatment will
allay the pain and reduce inflammation. Applications of
fresh earth or clay, dug from below the surface, are also very
good.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Capital City Kennel Club of Washington, D.'C., will
hold its inaugural Bhow May 15 to 18.

It is rumored that a bench show for all breeds to be held
at Tanforan Park next September under A.. K. C. rules is
among the possibilities.

The Scottish Terrier has taken such a firm hold on the dog
fanciers of America that a 8cottiBh Terrier club is to be
orgnnized. This breed, bo well adapted to cold climates, has
heretofore been neglected io this country.

The secretary of the San Francisco Kennel Club an-
nounces that diplomas, medals and prizes won at the late
bench show in Mechanics' Pavilion will be ready for exhibi-
tors on Saturday, the 19th inst , at the office of the Kennel
Club, 238 Montgomery strees, this city, between 3:30 and
5 p. m.

A well attended meeting of the Pacific Bull Terrier Club
was held in the office of the Breeder and Sportsman on
Wednesday evening. The annual election of officers will
take place next month. Messrs. A. Joseph, J. Strand and
J. Spairow were appointed a nomioating committee. In-
terest among the members in the afiairs of the club and in
the advancement of their favorite breed is not on the de-
crease by any means- Some of the enthusiasts are already
preparing a campaign to sweep the next bench show.

The story is being re-told of a famous Russian Mastifl,
which in the Majuba days was the pet of the Gordons and a
great favorite with General White, then Colonel of the 92d.
The Mastiff was picked up by the Gordons while on the
historic march from Cabul to Candahar, at the fortress of
Ghezi, and wae named after the stronghold. Ghazi saw out
the remainder of the campaign in Afghanistan, and was then
taken by tbe men of tbe Corps of South Africa. He accom-
panied the detachment of the Gordons that suffered so
severely en Majuba Hill, and was badly wounded by a bullet
and taken prisoner, but soon escaped. The Boers relieved
him of a collar with the Afghan medal attached, the gift of
the 92d officers.

A ladies' kennel assooiation has been formed in New York
City which is intended to be national in its scope, and will
have a vice-president in every State in the Union, as well as
one in Canada. Its objects, as specified in its charter, are to
encourage the breeding of dogs of all varieties to the high-
est standard of perfection; to prevent fraud in the buying,
selling and showing of dogs; to promote tbe welfare of ani-
mals in general by the dissemination of literature, and tbe
encouragement of kind and humane treatment on the part of
owners; to stimulate the owniDg, breeding and exhibiting of
dogs by ladies, and to bring dog owners of the better class
into cloeer union, thereby raising the tone of dog owning aod
dog showing to the same high and honorab'e level. When
deemed expedient, dog shows will be given.

THE FARM.

Belgian Hare.

The evening shades were falling fast,
As through ou- village streets there passed
A man, who bore an empty crate
And cried as if impelled by fate,

Belgian hare!

His brow was sad, his eye was wild,

And lively as a sleepy child,

And like a silver clarion rung

The troubled words from doubled tongue,

Belgian hare!

In other yards he saw the bright
Red. farry fellows, free of wbice.
And pidlocks kept him oat, by gar.
When still his voice rang loud and far,

Belgian hare!

"Oh, stop!" the dealer said, "and see
Mine, with a great long peddy gree:
They're red in front, they're red behind,"
Still the voice thundered with the wind,

Belgian hare!

"Oh, stayl" the mBiden said, "and rest
Your weary head upon this breast
Filled with excelsior." With a moan
The voice came backward with a groan,

Belgian hare;

'■Beware the pedigree of straw
Aud hares built with a rabbit's maw."
'Twas thus the preacher warned the tramp,
Whose voice replied from Willow camp,

Belgian hare!

At break of day his corse was found
Full stretcbed upon the dewy ground,
And then the loose wind breathed a prayer
That straggled through the startled air,

Belgian hare!

So in life's twilight when it comes
With blatant trump and ruffled drum,
May each ot us be found to say
That raising rabbits doesn't pay

Like Belgian hare!
— Petalujia Courier.

A lady writes to the National Stockman to
tell how she had the "duck fever,'1 and ite
effect upon her. She did not Bucceed very
well in hatchiug them, but sbe hatched out
116, and raised 112 of them, and took such
care of them that they averaged five pounds
each at ten weeks old, a feat not always
accomplished by beginners. For the first five
days she gave them bread soaked in milk, all
they would eat five times a day, also plenty of
pure water to drink, bat they had no place
where they could swim. They were in yards,
and had plenty of grit, clean sand at first and
oyster shells later on. Then the food was
changed to a mixed feed, and by the time they
were ten weeks old they were taking five
gallons at a feed, three times a day, of bran
mixed up with milk and a quart of boiled
beef and bone. Tbey also had plenty of green
food, clover and celery plants. The pro6t
was in marketing them as soon as they had
made their growth. Sbe does not tell the
financial results, but at twenty cents a pound,
which is a low price for early ducks, incubator
hatched, brooder raised and fattened quickly,
they would have brought her $112, which
*ought to leave a good profit after paying for
eggs, oil and food.

It is curious that bees are found on so few
farms. The reason that so many are un-
acquainted with the business, may b- given,
but there can be no possible excuse for not
learning it, ;f it is profitable. £ees need
some attention, of course, but they work on
their own responsibility, if they have any-
thing tc work on, and gather value from what
otherwise would be lost, says an exchange. It
costs nothing to feed bees after they have been
provided with the proper plants, in summer,
and there is not an animal or bird on the
farm that is kept at such a email proportional
cost or needs 60 little care in the working
season. Honey in former times was the prin-
cipal sweet, and though it has been, to a con-
siderable degree, supplanted by the products
of the cane and beet, it is still the most delic-
ious and healthful sweet in the world. It ie
averted by scientists that too much sugar is
injurious to the kidneys and a cause of dys-
pepsia.

A few years ago the exportation of horses
wis unknown in this country. We were
buyers and all the foreign countries that are
now importing the greatest numbers were
sending horses into the United States, The
tide in the exportation of horses will never
torn. The United States can produce horses
enough to supply the markets of the world at
1*88 cost than any other country on the globe.

One of the most important thirjgs in raising
a good calf is to train it to be led by the halter
when it is small. It makes it much easier
and more pleasant to handle it when it is
grown. It is but a small task to train a calf
if the work is begun in season, or a colt either
but if they are not haltered and led until they
are two or three yearB old there will surely be
trouble, possibly broken bones to mend, and
not always the bones of the frightened and
therefore refactorv animal. If we were buy-
ing a cow we would willingly pay ten dollars
more for one that had been learned to come
when its name was called, and that we could
lead home by the hoin or by a halter than
for one that was wild and unused to being
handled.

Nearly 1000 trotters have been shipped to
Europe during the past two years for racing
purposes, and more than 25 per cent of these
have records from 2:07J to 2:30. This num-
ber includes only those that have received
export certificates from the National Trotting
Association. Probably more than double
that number of trotting bred horses have in
the meantime been taken to Europe for driv-
i Dg purposes.

Police have little or no trouble with the road drivers who frequent this portion of the

These are about all the rules laid down and more are not required Clubs desiring

enthusiast the objective point
is The Speedway. This is a
full mile in length, SO feet in
width with a cypress hedge
three feet in height running
through the center for the
entire distance. The soil is
red clay, and makes a perfrct
footing. There is a slight fall
the first quarter, a sharp rise
in the second the third
quarter is nearly level and
there is a drop on the last
quarter which, in spite of_ a
sharp turn at the finish is so
fast that it is a poor horse
which cannot cover the dist-
ance in 35 seconds or better,
and many an owner has been
led to believe by it that he
possessed a 2:10 trotter. The
writer once rode over this
quarter with a companion
weighing 200 pounds, in a
bike wheel road wagon drawn
by a horse whose record of 2:25 was the very best he could ever do. and the quarter
was made in S3 seconds. This shows how wonderfully fast is the last quarter mile
on the speedway and why so many trotters and pacers which show two minute speed
there, fail to show it on regulation 'racks.

are almost ideal During the
spring and fall months and
during the rainless days in
December, January and Feb-
ruary, the trade winds do not
blow and fog seldom incon-
veniences the person seeking
out of door pleasures. Horses
feel the exhilerating effects of
cool ocean air and are able to
go long distances on the park
and ocean beach roads without
weariness.

The most popular drive for
the "regulars" is out by way
of the Panhandle through the
park by way of the Boulevard
to the Speedway entrance. A

thence to the ocean beach and
turning to the right to the

the Western Addition with a

Golden Gate Park is one of the few parks in the world where flowers are in con-
tinual bloom in the open air, and where those who visit it "have all seasons for their
own." The drive through it to the Cliff House and ocean beach is one of the prin-

and it is in reality "a thing of beauty and a joy forever."

Golden Gate Park Driving Association

On Wednesday next, May 30th. the Golden Gate Park Driving Association of
San Francisco will hold its annual race meeting, and for the reason that there is not
in San Francisco at the present time a track suitable for contests between harness

equal on the turf and under it," it has on its roll members whose fortunes it would
take seven figures to express and others whose assets would be entirely included in
the two words, " One horse." On the speedway and in the club room the members
meet on terms of equality, and the member who drives the costliest rig that gcea
over the park roads is never averse to a brush with the man whose harness is a
relic and whose high wheel sulky is a reminder of the famous "one horse shay."

H. H. DONLAF WITH "KlNQ CADENZA."

horses, the association has availed itself of the opportunity offered by President
Williams of the California Jockey Club, and the meeting will be given at the beauti-
ful track across the bay at Emeryville.

There are to be five races on the program, and although the annual meetings of
the association have always
been largely attended by the
public and aroused great
interest among the members,
there has never been a time
in its history when so much
genuine enthusiasm has been
manifested, so many close
contests were expected, or
such fast time in the different
events was confidently antic-
ipated.

One year ago Mr. Frank
O'Kane a prominentmember
of the club, gave a magnifi-
cent cup to be contested for
at the regular meetings of the
association, with the proviso
that it should become the ab-
solute property of the member
who won it three times. The
first race for this beautiful
trophy was won by Mr. J. C.
Ohlandt, the present second
vice-president of the club,
and on Wednesday next the
second contest will take place.
That it will be a close contest
is certain and there is such a
difference of opinion among
the club members as to the
relative speed of the horses
entered, that there is very
likely to be more wagers laid
upon the result than have
been placed on any event
since these meetings of the
association were inaugurated.
All the other contests (there
will be five races in all) will
furnish splendid sport. The
horses in these raceB are not
classified by their records,
except in the cup race, but by the speed they are thought to be capable of showing at
the present time. A classification committee composed of club members who are
regular road drivers and keen observers is appointed to do this work and as in the
past they have succeeded so well, it is within reason to suppose that the experience

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association is not a " blue ribbon " club either.
San Francisco has hardly reached that advanced stage of civilization enjoyed by
some Ea&tern cities where clubs exist composed of wealthy gentlemen who pay big
prices for horses and only race them for blue ribbons and the pleasure of beating the

other fellow. There must be
a small purse to make a race
fill well here, and the oppor-
tunity of making a wager on
the result must not bedenied,
if a large attendance at har-
ness meetings is wanted

Golden Gate Park Driving
Association was organized
July 23 1896, and ever since
its first meeting called at the
office of G. W. Leek, who was
its first president, it has been
an active, energetic, progres-
sive institution. When the
subject of a speedway in the
Park was first broached its
members gave the proposition
a most hearty support, and
aided it by every legitimate
effort and influence A large
sum of money was raised by
a race meeting given at Ingle-
side track in which the mem-
bers of the club participated
and drove their horses, and
this sum was turned over to
the Park Commissioners to
apply to the Speedway fund.
For several years the associa-
tion held its business meet-
ings at 1200 Market, Mr. C.
F. Kapp kindly giving the use
of a room for the purpose, but
the increasing attendance de-
manded more commodious
quarters, and the splendidly
fitted club room now occupied
by the association in the
Palace Hotel was secured.
This room has been supplied
with desks and cabinets, the
walls lined with appropriate
pictures of noted horses and race scenes and here the leading horse papers of the
United States are kept on file. One of the most popular entertainments furnished
by the club is the occasional Saturday afternoon matinee held on the Speedway.
There are usually two races of half mile heats, best two in three, and many San

Those who enter the Jockey Club grounds from the Southern Pacific train will

J. C. Ohlandt, second Vice President of the associa-
tion is' the present holder of the O'Kane Challenge
Cup. He won the first of the contests for this trophy
last year with Harvey B, trotting him to a record of
2 -31 in the race. Unfortunately.Harvey B was severely
injured some days ago by a fall, and Mr. Ohlandt will

not be able to start him in the race this year. Har-
vey B is a large big boned horse with a not very at-
tractive gait when jogghg, but when at speed moveB
like a piece of machinery With sufficient training he
should trot below 2 :20. Mr. Ohlandt is one of the most
popular membeiB of the association and a regular driver
on the speedway. He will drive his mare Alameda Maid
in the cup race Wednesday and his many friends look
to see him place another race to his
credit.

ment than he and none would do more to keep it on a
high plane and make its meetings successful. Mr
Kapp is a good driver, fair to his opponent, never want-
ing the best of it. and is one of San Francisco's most
popular road drivers.

First Vice-President Edward Aigeltinger has been
prominently identified with the Golden Gate Park Driv-
ing Association since its organization and there are few
of its meetings, special or regular, that he has not
attended He is nearly always called upon to preside
and discharges the duties of the office with ability and
dignity. Few men have a better knowledge of parlia-
mentary law than he, or can bring order out of chaos
c|uicker when debates get heated as they sometimes do.
Mr. Aigeltinger, during the last term under the former
city charter, filled the office of Supervisor with credit to
himself and satisfaction to his constitutents and had
the honor of being elected by the heaviest vote of any
man on his ticket. He is an ardent admirer of a good
horse, an enthusiastic road driver and an excellent reins-
man. Mr. Aigeltinger is one of the city's leading hay
and grain merchants.

One of the most popular members of the Golden Gate
Park Driving Association iB Harry F Patrick, the very
efficient Secretary Mr Patrick is a young San Fran-
ciscan who finds his greatest pleasure in a spin over the
roads behind a good horse after business hours are over,
and he is known as one ot the best reinsman in the
club. He has driven his mare Catinka 2:17 in more
than one winning race, and will be Been in nearly every
race on the program next Wednesday. Honest, affable,
prompt and reliable he makes an ideal Secretary of the
organization and is held in the highest esteem by his
fellow members'.

When a committee ia needed to make arrangements
for a meeting, or one is appointed, to do some real hard
rustling, Dr I. B. Dalziel is invariably made the chair-
man. Probably there is not a man in San Francisco
who does more actual work six days in the week than
Dr. Dalziel. He has a very large veterinary dental
practice, but finds time to drive on the road attend
political and lodge meetings, do a great deal of work
for Golden Gate Park Driving Association and his

delights of Dickey's, there is nothing need be said, but
to those few who have not yet enjoyed them we say :
Call on the Colonel, partake of his good cheer, and you
will then know why those who enjoy the good things of
this world always stop at Dickey's.

A member of the association who is acquiring a repu-
tation as a first class reinBman is Mr. H. H. Dunlap,
the owner of King Cadenza 2:20. When Mr. Dunlap
purchased the son of Steinway something over a vear
ago, he was a comparative stranger to many of" the
regulars, but they soon found that he knew how to
hold the ribbons and also that his horse was rapidly
improving in speed. On the speedway or on the race
track Mr Dunlap is always ready for a race, though
one of the most quiet and unassuming of men He
drove his horse King Cadenza to his record last year
and expects to reduce it if necessarv to win next
Wednesday. He captured the free-for-all easily at the
Butchers' Picnic at Oakland last Wednesday, not hav-
ing to pace better than 2 :25.

Hulda 2:08}£, whose picture taken
taken since she entered the list of
broodmares, is presented on this page,
has the fastest record of any animal
owned by a member of the club. Her
owner, Mr. A. B Spreckels has the dis-
tinction of breeding, racing and still
owning two mares with records better
than 2 :10, the other being Dione 2 :09J^
Mr. Spreckles is a familiar figure on the
driveways of San Francisco his favorite
pair lately being Mamie Riley 2 : 16. and
mate, a black mare by Aptos Wilkes,
that is fully as fast. Mr. Spreckels is a
Director of the Golden Gate Park Driv-
ing Association Among the positions
which he finds time to fill with much
ability are the Presidency of the State
Agricultural Societv, Director of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders
Association and member of the Board
of Appeals of the National Trotting
Association Mr. Spreckels is also one
of the Park Commissioners and much
of the credit for the splendid roads and
driveways there is due to his energy
and ability coupled with an active inter-
est in good roads and a great love for
driving

Mr. J. C. Kirkpatrick, the President
of the Golden Gate Park Driving Asso-
ciation, is one of the best known of the
San Francisco road drivers Mr Kirk-
patrick ia the manager of the Palace
Hotel and other large interests of the Sharon estate on
this Coast, the many duties of which position make him
a very busy man. He finds time, however, to ride for
an hour or so daily in the Park and drives some good
horses Among those owned by him are the mares
Azalia 2 :22K and Lullaby, and the fast pacer Harvey
Mc 2:14. He is a member of the Board of Appeals of
the National Trotting Association, a Director of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association and
is an enthusiastic lover of the light harness horse

Director Fred W. Thompaon has probably done as
much actual hard work in the interests of the organiza-
tion as any member thereof For years he was the
most efficient Secretary of the club, and never missed a
meeting Prompt, affable, energetic and trustworthy in
every position in which he is placed, Mr. Thompson is
a moat valuable member of the Board of Directors
He is connected in a business way with the San Fran-
cisco Laundry Association, and enjoys a wide circle of
acquaintances No one more enjoys a spin through the
park behind a good horse than Fred Thompson, and he
takes many of them.

The handsomest horse owned by any member of the
Golden Gate Park Driving Association is I Direct 2:13,
the pacing stallion belonging to Chas F Kapp, of 1200
Market street, this city. Mr Kapp is very proud of his
little horae, and though he has been unfortunate in his
racing ventures, confidently expects that he will yet
strike a streak of racing luck and show the great speed
and game qualities that are certainly in him. I Direct
is now in the hands of that excellent trainer, Ed
Lafferty, at Pleasanton, and will be campaigned this
year. No man could do more for an organization than
Mr Kapp has done for the G G. P D A He was its
first Treasurer and handled its cash correctly to a cent
for three years. He furnished the association a meet-
ing room free of cost for the same time, and has always
been an earnest and a willing worker in ita cause No
member rejoices more in the club's success and advance-

The Treasurer of the Golden Gate Park Driving Asso-
ciation ia E. Stewart, whose identification with the
interests of good trotting and pacing races dates back a
number of years He is the owner of Localeer 2 :30 and
at every meeting at the speed track has been one of the
first to come forward and make entries in order to make
the meetings a success. He had Plunkett 2:13, that
good, game, little son of Strathearn, for a long time and
had him always ready for the races, and it was a matter
of regret with him to see this little horse defeated at
the Butchers' picnic Wednesday in 2 :26 when he bad
driven him in 2:10 in Santa Rosa in 1898. Mr. Stewart
is president of the Santa Clara Milk Company, one of
the largest corporations of its kind west of Chicago.
Starting with very little capital a few years ago, by dint
of hard work, close application to business and catering
to the wants of his patrons by seeing that they were
supplied with pure milk and cream he has built up a
large business The place of business is 721 Howard
street Bear Third, where is also located the Occidental
Horse Exchange, in which this company is also inter-
ested. Having over fifty horses in daily use they are
continually getting large consignments from all parts

of California and are holding sales of

friends in general, and to fill a little extra time has
now taken up the business of breeding and selling
Belgian hares. The Doctor is an excellent reinsman
and can handle four or six aa well as he can a single
horse As marshal of the race meetings of the asaocia-
tion, he carries much of their responsibility on his
broad shoulders and never shirks a duty.

Dickey's haa for yeara been the principal place where
road drivera pull up to give their horses a reat and to
obtain refreshment for themselves Situated on the
corner of Sixth avenue and Fulton atreet, immediately
opposite one of the principal
entrancea to the Park, and at
the terminuaof the McAllister
street car line, it ia most con-
venient to all who visit the
city's chief pleasure ground, or
drive to park or beach. Col.
Dickey, proprietor of this pop-
ular hostelry, is the pioneer of
San Francisco road house pro
prietors, and there is not a
person, living or dead who ban
been prominent in horse breed
ing or racing in California, but
he haa personally known and
can relate most interesting
reminiscences of. When the
Bay District Track was in ex
istence Dickey's was the resort
of all horsemen who visited
8an Francisco, and the prom-
inent men who have Deen en-
tertained bv the genial Colonel

are famous among the bon vivant road drivers of San
Francisco, and a trip to park or beach without a stop at
this resort for breakfast, lunch or dinner is not properly
rounded out. To those who know the gastronomical

In advocating a speedway for Port-
land, the North Pacific Rural Spirit
says : "Statistics in New York demon-
strate that since the completion of the
speedway on the Harlem river there
has been an increase of 75 per cent in
driving horses in Gotham, which natur-
ally brought to the various trades con-
nected therewith a corresponding in-
crease in business A speedway in
Portland would bring to the farmer
some of its first fruits in an increased
demand for good hay, oats andstraw.
"Pasture and board for horses among
the farmers would be needed and in-
ducements would be held to them to
raise and improve their stock, with
assurances of remunerative prices for
well bred horses A good sound horse
that can trot better than 2 :30 frequently
bring $1000 under hammer in New York
In addition other trades could reason-
ably expect increased demand for such
goods as horse brushes combs, shears,
clippers blankets, hoods robes, rugs,
lumber for stables and box stalls, wagon
grease, rubber and pneumatic tires,
whips, Bponges and chamois brooms,
shovels, stop watches, dash clocks, var-
nish, paints, upholstery goods, springs,
wagons, sprinklers and harness More
stable boys and coachmen would find
employment at remunerative wages-
Carriage manufacturers naturally expect a demand
for light vehicles adapted to a speedway While oc-
casionally we see a pneumatic-tired wagon at home,
they can be counted by hundreds in citie8 blessed with
a speedway. The horseshoeing trade on scientific prin-
ciples would be greatly benefited while the iron indus-
try would reap some of the benefits. Work horses can
be shod with machine-made shoes, but the flyers of
to day must be weighted and have their shoes beveled
and shaped by skilled mechanics to suit their various
gaits, strides, etc. Hence an increased demand for
skilled^ lbor in the smith shop. Ine addition to th

beneficail results to kindred trades, the pleasant associa-
tions in meeting friends frequently on such a roadway
would be a source of much enjoyment to hundreds of
our citizens, who are averse to making entries at race
tracks, driving for purses or prizes or in com]

D. 8. Harris, of Buffalo, secured a very promising pacing
prospect at the Village Farm sale in the black colt The
Saracen by Athanio 2:10.

Some of the racers quartered at the Overland track,
Denver, are suffering from pinkeye, but no great epidemic is
feared. The disease is of a mild character.

What California stallion will have the greatest number of
new performers added to his list this year, and what one will
have the fastest new performer to his credit?

Pbincess Derby worked a quarter in 34 seconds after
reaching Cleveland, which shows that she held her speed
pretty well after her trip across the mountains.

D. F. Holder, of Yonkers, N. Y., offered M. E. Mc"
Henry $2500 for Sister Alice 2:1H}, after she had stepped

Henry Titer, the Forbes Farm trainer, recently stated
that Jupe 2:07$ was the horse he most feared to meet in the
Beadville stallion purse with the Forbes Farm entry. Jape
was not entered.

P. W. Hodges has moved to Agricultural Park, Sacra-
mento, and will race bis horses all through the circuit. He
has two or three green ones that will be hard ones to beat
when they start.

J. WiXiLiTS, of Santa Ana, owner of the famous Silkwood

horses by his fast pacing stallion, which will be sold in the

the date.

bis string of trotters and pacers and is much pleased with
the track there. Mr. Hoy expects to ride a few miles below
2:10 this year and all of them will not ba with the same
horse, either.

An idea of the amount of interest the $20,000 stallion ract.'
at Beadville, next September, is creating may be gathered
from the fact that Secretary Jewett already has received
applications for reserved setts from Boston, New York,
Cleveland and Chicago people.

A word or two from the right man to the right man at
the right time will do a treat deal in the sale of a horse.
When Sam Gamble was in New York last winter be told Mr.
Nathan Straus, owner of Cobwebs, that Our Jack 2:13$

with burnished aluminum bronze fittings.

James Sullivan has moved to Sacramento and will be
seen in the Bulky again tbiB year. He has several good ones
belonging to Col. Park Henshaw, and as there are few belter
conditioners, trainers or drivers in the country than he, look
oat for some low marks opposite the Chico horses names
before the season ends.

Tom Keatino is at Cleveland, and twelve horses will be
shipped to him there from James Butler's Enstview Farm,
New York. Mr- Butler has leased the four year old pacer

Chas. Griffith of this city, and Keating will campaign him

A gentleman who took a nomination in the 2:40 class at

Horsemen all over the country will be pleased to know

Afibr a let-up of several months, during which Caryle
Carne 2:11$ has taken on a lot of flesh, he was out on Tues-
day, and driven by his owner, Col Fred Lawrence. Nathan
Straus was driving Malacca 2:18$, and tackled the Colonel
for a quarter of a mile when he gave up the contest, as
Came had entirely too much speed — Trotter and Pacer.

It is imore than probable that the great interest being
taken in matinee racing by the members of the Golden Gate
Park Driving Association will lead to the building of a half
mile track within the limits of this city. A track is nearer
a reality than at any time since the subject received atten-
tion from the club members. It would fill a long felt want.

It is surprising that some of the correspondents who are
always ready with reasons why crowds are larger at running
than at pacing meetings in this vicinity, have not called
attention to the fact that the steer races at Oakland always
draw the biggest crowds of the year. They should suggest
to the Jockey Clubs that they adopt the Batchers' system of
managing a race meeting.

The Riverside Fair and Driving Association will hold an
afternoon of matinee racing on Wednesday, May 30th.
There will be two trotting, two pacing, and three running
events, and a two mile dash open to trotters and pacerB.
Horses competing in the harneeB races mast be owned and
driven by members of the association. I. A. Witherspoon,
G. W. Dickson and Robert Lee Bettner are the race commit-
tee and Frank D. Lewis is secretary of the club.

The pacing Btallion Guidon, owned by Mrs. W. J. Hill of
Salinas, has been leased to Mr. John D. Springer, of Port-
land, Oregon, who will race him on the Oregon and Wash-
ington circuit. Mr. Springer saw Guidon a year ago, acd
was impressed with his great speed and fine looks and when
the opportunity occured toaecure a lease of him, did bo, and
came down from Portland after him. Guidon was shipped to
Portland last Monday. He will start in the $1000 Chamber
of Commerce stake for 2:18 pacers at the Oregon State Fair.

Everett L. Smith ("Percy"), tells the following in one
of his chatty letters in the New York Telegraph: Daring
Tuesday night's thunderstorm the fast chestnut gelding Koh-
lan 2:26} by Kremlin, dam Sun Maid by Belmont, second

So So 2:17}, was standing eating his rations quietly. When
the louder crash, with its accompanying dash of lightning,
came the horse reeled and dropped like a log. He died in
three minutes. Whether it was heart trouble or otherwise
is unknown, as there was no autopsy.

The different purses and slakes which will close next
Friday, June 1st, deserve the biggest list of entries ever
made in California. The owners of large stocs farms, and
those who have money invested in horses and are able to
make an investment of entry fees can do nothing that will
add to the value of their horses more, or secure for them
readier sale at good prices, than entering them in races. A
big entry list at all the fairs this year, and a large number of
starters will induce many buyers to come from the Eist to
California next winter. There will be many Eastern dealers
watching the reports of California harness races this year.

Environment has a great deal to do with the disposition
of a stallion. It is related of Aberdeen 27, son of Hambie-
tonian 10, and sire of Kentucky Union 2:07}, etc , that while
he was owned by his breeder, C ipt. Isaiah Rynders, Passaic,
N J. , he was classed among the "man-eating" stallions, and
the only plausible reason ever given for this condition was
that Aberdeen was closely confined and harshly treated.
After hie purchase by Gen. W. T. Withers, Lexington, Ky.,
Aberdeen was given the freedom of a ten-acre lot and great
care taken that he was not abused or mistreated in any man-
ner. With the new method of treatment the stallion became
as quiet a gelding.

Stallion owners will not have to pay a license in AU-
meda county, thanks to Messrs. C. A. Durfee and T. E.
Keating who refused to pay, were arrested and put to the
expense of testing the legality of their arrest. The court
dismissed the charge againBt them last week. The officials
who tried to collect the license probablv acted on the theory
that ''many a case is won on a blull ' ' as they must have
known the law whs repealed years ago. Other stallion own-
ers who would probably have paid the license without ques-
tioning its legality, while feeling its injustice, owe their
thanks to Messrs. Durfee and Keating for making the test
that secured the decision.

The California trotter Our Jack 2:13}, after being sold at
Chicago for $2150, was resold to Nathan Straus, of New
York, at the same price. Mr. Straus had him oat on the fa-
mous New York speedway on Tuesday ,t he 16th hist., and this
is what Gurney Gue, the expert writer on trotting horse
matters, said of him: "Our Jack 2:13}, by Steinway was
among the newcomers on the speedway, John B. Doerr,
George McBride and Nathan Straus driving him in tarn.
He is a big bay gelding of coaching form, very handsome
and a true-going trotter. Mr. Straus started him with a
brush with A. C. Fiske's bay gelding Waco 2:16}, and held
the lead until his horse broke."

We suggest to the members of the Golden Gate Park
Driving Association that they arrange a "road drivers
parade" on the plan of the one recently held over the New
York speedway. There were 800 horses in line in that great
parade, and while San Francisco could not turn out quite
that number, there would be a showing that would not only
astonish the public.but it would be an exhibition of roadsters
that would be worthy of this State as a place where high
class horses of that description are bred. From the entrance
to the pan handle of Golden Gate Park to the end of the
speedway would be an admirable place for such a parade,
and thousands would avail themselves of the opportunity to
witnesB it were it properly exploited in the daily papers.

John 8. Lackey, Cambridge City, has sold to Matt
Dwyer, New York City, one of the highest priced pairs of
horses that ever left the State of Indiana. Describing the
pair, Col. Lackey sayB. ''The team I sold to Matt Dwyer,
New York, for $5000 was made up of Greville and Non-
decker, strictly high bred trotters. Greville 1b by Gambetta
Wilkes 2:19}, dam by Bonner's Mambrino Startle; Non-
decker by Jayette 10,785, dam Fanny Clay by Col. Goald—
both standard and registered. They are a pair of high actors
and a genuine coach or brougham pair. They can step away
a 2:40 gait with all their high action; without doubt this is
the highest acting team in America and also the most closely
matched. They are seal brown in color, with black points
and very full made, with the greatest of style."

Mr. Steads, of New York, who owns the great Cobwebs,
says that while in Chicago recently he visited the stock
yards one morning to get a quiet line on some of the horses
to be sold. Meeting the stable foreman he asked for this
horse and that, and was told all their good points. Finally
the man, thinking he was up against a "boy leas wonder/'
asked: "Say, boss, for heaven's sake, how much of a horse
do yon want?" To this the New Yorker made reply : "Well,
I'd like a horse that can step a half to a wagon and beat
Cobwebs, owned in New York." Looking him over a
moment, the stable boss asked: "So you're from New York,
eh ? Say, tell me, how much speed has that Cobwebs hoss
got, anyhow; did you ever see him ? Why I ask is, about
fifty men have already pinched every hoss in this here sale
with a mark below 2:15, an' they all seem dead stack to beat
that Cobwebs hoss. His owner will find himself in a hornet's
nest for sure if they all come to the post with their money
and do the bay act."

Budd Doble goes Bast about the first of Jane with sev-
eral good trotters, which will be offered for sale there.
Among them are Sybil S. 2:16$ by Hambletonian Wilkes, a
good looking mare and a very fast one; Iretta, a handsome
trotter by Ira, dam by Poscora Hay ward, second dam Lady
Ligbtfoot by Paul's Abdallah, third dam by Lightning,
fourth dam by Williamson's Belmont; a bay gelding by Sec-
retary out of the dam of Nellie P.. 2:17} that is a fine road-
ster and a good racing prospect ; a four year old gelding by
Aptos Wilkes, that has siz?, style, speed and good manners
enough to make an ideal roadster for the New York speed-
way, and that means a good deal. Besides these Mr. Doble
has a couple of young horses that he is just beginning to
handle, but both are good prospects. He is now at Lob
Angeles and will go East from there. The string of thor-
oughbreds from the Baldwin ranch will ba trained at San
Jose this summer by Mr. Djble's partner in the venture
Johnny Campbell, and will not be raced until the winter
meeting opens here. Doble & Campbell and Chas. Boots
have secured stalls at San Joee, and will have the running
track there under their supervision, which will assure its
being kept in first class shape.

In looking over the table of broodmares wh:ch have pro-
duced two or more 2:15 performers, in the last number of
the Horse Review, £ was struck, says a writer in the Horse
World, with the great number of them which had produced
their 2:15 performers to the cover of sires possessing the
blood of George Wilkes. Out of the 108 mares in the table,
60 have produced one or more of theii 2:15 performers to
the cover of sires having a strain of Wilkes blood. Another
feature of the table is that eight of the twelve Wilkes mares
in it have produced one or more of their 2:15 representatives
to the cover of Wilkes stallions, thus showing the good re-
sults attained by inbreeding in the Wilkes family. One of
these mares is China Wilkes by Adrian Wilkes. She is the
dam of L. L. D , 2:08}; Oenone 2:11* and Jenny Wilkes
2:12}. all by Woodford Wilkes— not by Adrian Wilkes as
the Review states. Both Adrian Wilkes and Woodford
Wilkes are sons of George Wilkes. Another is Grace
Kaiser, dam of Coney 2:07| and McZsue, 2:13, both by Mc-
Kinney, grandson of George Wilkes. Kaiser, her sire, ie a
son of George Wilkes. lone Wilkes by Red Wilkes, son of
George Wilkes, produced Sally Toler 2:06$ and Bert Oliver
2:08$, by Ashland Wilkes, a son of Red Wilkes. Cathedral
by George Wilkes produced Pilgrim 2:10} and Pastoral 2:13.1
to Onward son of George Wilkes. Willie Wilkes, by George
Wilkes, produced Rachel 2:08} to Baron Wilkes, son of
George Wilkes. Carrie Wilkes, also a daughter of George
Wilkes, produced Bay Baron 2:12} by Baton Wilkes and
Eille Davis by Red Wilkes, son of George Wilkes, produced
Lord Sum rail 2:13} by Don PTzirro, grandson of George
Wilkes, and Gowan 2:13} to Gambetta Wilkes, son of George
Wilkes. Only a few sires are represented by more than one
daughter in this list and it is therefore plain to Bee that
those with more than one daughter in it are entitled to more
than ordinary honor. Those having this distinction are:
Nutwood 2:18$ with four daughters, Mambrino Patchen
with three, Red Wilkes with three, Blue Bull with three,
George Wilkes 2:22 with three, Mambrino King with two,
Harold with two, Arthurton with two, Mambrino Abdallah
with two, Mambrino Startle with two. The full significance
of a table of mares which have produced two or more 2:15
performers is more apparent when we remember that it was
only a few years ago that a mare's greatness as a producer
was measured by the number of her produce in the 2:30 list.

8eyeral two and three year olds were sold at auction at
Morris Park track last week. The best price realized was
f2700, which F. Farrell paid for Presgrave, the two year old
son of imp. PrestonpanB, dam Katie Fletcher, who won at
his first start a few days ago. The others went at prices
ranging from $250 to $15.

It was not an English syndicate after all that made the
offer of $70,000 for Mesmerist. It was John E. Madden,
the shrewdest horseman in America. Mr. Madden is doubt-
less very much pleased that his ofiar was declined, though,
had it been accepted it is more than likely that he wonld
have made a profit on the horse before the month had passed.

Yellowtail won a six-furlong race at St. Louis last
Tuesday "in a walk." The Conqueror divided favoritism
with Captain Hackett's horse and was very heavily played,
but had a very hard struggle to get the place by a head from
Hottentot, a 150 to 1 shot. Yellowtail was pulled up to a
canter at the finish and crossed the line six lenpthe in
advance of Wounded Knee, his nearest competitor.

The winner of The Oiks at Louisville on Saturday last
was John Madden'a Etta, a bay filly by Falsetto out of
Manola by imp. Glenelg. The mile and a sixteenth was
made in 1:48. Cleora was the favorite, and at the last eighth
pole it looked as though she would win easily, but while
Cleora, Unsightly and Anna Bain were fighting it out Orer-
ton on Etta stole up on the outside and won by a neck.

A Cincinnati dispatch says : It has been definitely settled
that James Caldwell, perhaps the oldest and best known

J. H. Smith, owner of Lieutenant Gibson, has deposited
$5000 forfeit money and offers to run his horse against any
horse in the world, the Derby distance for $50,000. The
famous old turfman Sam Bryant, advised all his friends to
back Lieutenant Gibson for the Kentncky Derby "because
he is not only the best horse in the United States but the
best in the world." Mr. Smith believes with Bryant and is
game as his challenge proves.

One of the evils of the turf, resultant from place and show
betting is the strict rule which requires horses to be ridden
out. One often sees the whip and spur ruthlessly used on a
colt which is hopelessly beaten, that be may get "the place"
and satisfy those who have money ou him for that position.
Many a horse has been ruined for life by the jockeys attempt
to obey the rale. That the rule is necessary to prevent fraud
is true, but were the system of betting changed the punish-
ment of a beaten horse might be averted.

The four and a half furlongs were run in 0:551.

Julius Bauer, the Chicago man who trains the Feather-
stone stable, has been admitted to full partnership in the
stable, and will share in the earnings of all the horses, in-
cluding the famous Mesmerist. This move has been taken,
it is said, in recognition of his success with the Featherstone
Btring, and in order to make sure of retaining his services.
Mr. Bauer has a profitable piano business in Chicago, but

Pat Dunne arrived at Hawthorne laBt week with his
stable of twelve race horses, including his Derby candidates,
Reminder and Benalder. Among the others in the Dunne
string are Celerilae, Alcedo, Sortie, Searcher, Gold Badge,
Matin and Vain. Mr Dunne shipped from Louisville late
Wednesday afternoon, right after winning the Premier Stakes
with Celeritas. His horses are all in good shape and are
mostly of the stake class, the stable having been sorted down
close for the Chicago season. Celeritas, a bay colt by Iro-
quois— Ogarita, is one of the crack three year olds of the
year. He ran the Premier Stakes mile in 1:404, beating a
Btrong field, and coming within one-quarter of a second of
equaling the track record. Mr. Dunne will rest bis horses
for a few days, preparatory to the opening at Hawthorne,
where be has a number of stake engagements.

Bonnibert. the two year old chestnut colt hy imp. Albert,
won the $20,000 Stallion Stakes at Morris Park last Satur-
day, thuB potting a goodly sum to the credit of his sire for the
season of 1900, and aiding materially in placing Albert again
in the postion he occupied last year when he headed the list
of winning sires of 1899. Nine high class >ouogsters faced
the starter. Bonnibert closed a slight favorite at 11 to 5
over Bellario and the Morris stable pair, Golden Age and
Kenilworth, which were quoted at 3 to 1 each. Every horse
in the race had a following, Telamon being backed down

Kenilworth, the stable companion of the latter, was fourth.

Barney Schreiber declined the issue between Miss
Bennett and Sofala at St. Louis last Friday, and scratched
his filly. There is no doubt but Sofala is one of the best and

ADVERTISING ITS RESOURCES has been for
some time considered a duty by the taxpayers of nearly
every county in California. That a judicious use of
money for this purpose pays a profit to the community
has been demonstrated in many instances in this State;
and so thoroughly is advertising recognized as a necessity
that the Legislature has expressly provided for the setting
apart of a sum not to exceed $1000 in any year by
County BoardB of Supervisors to be expended for this
purpose. Like many laws, however, that were framed
with good intent and designed to accomplish results
which would be of benefit to the State, this section of
the law has been used on many occasions to take from
the pockets of the people and place in the hands of
scheming fakirs the money that was intended to do good)
but by this meaDS is worse than frittered away. One of
the most common ways of securing this appropriation
has been the issuing of special editions containing a
write-up of the county and its resources by city publica-
tions of small circulation but great ^pretensions, and
another has been the publication by San Francisco
advertising [solicitors of illustrated pamphlets showing
the advantages of the county as a place of residence or
profitable investment. Both these schemes have been
and are being " worked " so much, that like the threats
of Cassius to] Brutus — " they pass by as the idle wind.')
We are led to these remarks by noticing in the news
columnB of one of the leading interior journals of this
State an item to the effect that a city publication had
recently published an edition devoted to matter descrip-
tive of the county, and another stating that " The Board
of Supervisors decided before adjourning to drop the
matter of making an appropriation for the coming Fair
They wish to see it succeed as much as anyone, but
could not see their way clear under the law to grant
money from the treasury as per request." To our
knowledge this same Board of Supervisors |has in the
past contributed many dollars for write-ups which have
not brought one thousandth part of the return to the
county that one good district fair would. We are not
now speaking of the racing portion of a fair program,
but of the exhibits of cattle, horses, sheep, agricultural,
ho ticultural, viticultural and dairy products, manu-
ft ■ tures, etc. A good annual [exhibit of a county's
p' iducta, properly advertised and accompanied by
.'.ions that will draw people to witness it, is the

very best advertising a county can spend money for.
The pamphlet that tells about the advantages of the
locality for breeding dairy cattle does not carry the con-
viction of an actual milk and butter test made at the
district fair, and a parade of pretty Jerseys and dignified
Durhams will cause more people to desire to raise some
like them than all the special editions that can be
printed in a century by people who do not]know a dairy
cow from a prize steer. If there are legal objections why
a Board of Supervisors should not appropriate money
for a fair exhibit, they are right in refusing it, but if
there is a law for taking money from the treasury and
giving it to the promoters of advertising schemes, it will
apply as well to allowing aid for an agricultural and live
stock exhibit — the very best advertisement of a county's
resources and advantages that can be devised.

THE LEADING HOLSTEIN BREEDING FARM
in California is the La Siesta Farm in San Mateo
county, and its enterprising owner, Mr. F. H. Burke,
has made it his constant aim since the farm was estab-
lished to secure the best Holstein blood obtainable and
to use every effort to improve upon it if possible. Mr.
Burke went East last week and will purchase from the
best Holstein breeding farms of America during the next
few weeks about four carloads of choice specimens of the
breed, which will be immediately shipped to La Siesta.
He will leave New York for England after making his
American purchases, and while there will look over
their milking Durhams, for which so much is claimed,
and if he considers them good will secure a few of the
best. Mr. Burke is not only an excellent judge of cattle,
tut an enterprising breeder who takes pride in breeding
the best, and nothing of an inferior type or nature is
] lermitted on his farm . He is one of the largest exhib •
itors at our annual State and district fairs, and the stock
lired at La Siesta has figured very largely in the im-
provement of the Holstein herds all over the Pacific
Coast. The result of this trip to the East and England
i in the part of Mr. Burke cannot help but result in great
nenefit to the breeding interests of California.

THOS. BONNER writes from Santa Rosa that the
race suggested for local pacing road horses to take place
at the Breeders' meeting to be held there, meets the
approval of all and that in addition to the horses named
Mr. Legett desires to name his brown horse, Willkeeten
by Mambrino Wilkes, dam JeBse Button, full sister to
Alex Button. Mr. Bonner also states that if the Breed-
ers will offer a purse for local trotting roadsters he can
fill it.

THE ANNUAL MEETING of the members of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association will
be held at the office of the association, 36 Geary street,
San Francisco, on Monday, June 11, 1900, at 8 o'clock
p. M., for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors
for the ensuing year, and the transaction of such other
business as may come before the meeting.

A TROTTER IS WANTED by a Boston gentleman
who describes just what he requires in our advertising
columns. He wants a pacer also. If you have a horse
that will fill the bill write to him and state the price.

THE SAD NEWS of the death of Lewis Thome,
Secretary of the Sixth District Agricultural Association'
reached us last Tuesday by telegraph. Mr. Thorne was
one of the most energetic and active secretaries in the
State, and under his management the Los Angeles asso-
ciation has always given very successful meetings. His
death will cause a vacancy which it will be very hard to
fill. Mr. Thome's death was not entirely unexpected by
his friends. He had twice previously had attacks of
heart disease, and this last attack came on four weeks
ago. About a week later he took to his bed, from which
he never arose. He leaves behind him a wife but no
children. Mr. Thorne was bom in Devonshire county,
England, December 16, 1852. When quite a young
man he went to Canada, where for a number of years he
was engaged in business enterprises of various kinds.
About fifteen years ago he took up his residence in Los
Angeles, where he engaged in the real estate business,
and through his energy and application to business he
was more than ordinarily successful. Mr. Thorne was
affiliated with several fraternal orders. He was a
Knight Templar, and had been Supreme Chief Ranger
of the Foresters of America. He was Secretary of the
Columbia Building and Loan Association, and was inter-
ested in the Gas Saving Association of Los Angeles, and
a Director of the Central Bank, at Fourth and Broadway
Upon removing to Los Angeles Mr. Thome became
naturalized and has taken an active interest in politics
He was at one time Secretary of the Republican County
Central Committee. The remains of the deceased,
accompanied by his wife, will be taken for burial to
Exeter, Ontario, where he was married twenty-one years
ago. His wife was formerly Miss Fannie Drew, of
Exeter. Mr. Thorne leaves behind him a large number
of friends who teBtify to his many sterling qualities, his
industry, his firmness of purpose and steadfast adherence
to his principles of right living. One of his marked
characteristics was his strict integrity in all of his busi-
ness relations.

Pool Booms 'Will Be Closed.

The Board of Supervisors of the City and County of 8an
Francisco is consistent at last. Ordinances prohibiting bet-
tine have been passed heretofoie, but in every instance they
were so worded as to permit pools to be sold on prize fights
while betting on speed contests between horses or dogs was
prohibited. Last Monday an ordinance was passed to print,
however, which prohibits pool selling on prize fights. It is
follows:

„„?,^°?i' IL8ha1.1 be onlawfm for any Deraon in the city and
county of San Francisco to sell or buy pools, or make bookjj, or mate
™y„!S or w?ser,in "V system of registering bets or wagers wherein
"S"'1111"1 representative of value, are staked or pledged on
contests between men. ^.ouko^uu

c.™ <?;■£? ^erson otherwise competent as a witness is dlsquallned
from testifying as such concerning the offenses in this ordinance de-
fined on the ground that such witness under the provisions of this
ordinance; but no prosecution can afterward be had against any
whichhentlftirl°d aUJ ° deflned in this ordinance concerning

Sec. 3. Any person violating the provisions of this ordinance shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be
punished by a fine not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500) or by
Imprisonment not exceeding six months. w™"'i "' "J

This ordinance was passed to print and will be acted upon
finally next Monday. We cannot help but believe that it is
a wise measure at this time. At a future time another or-
dinance can be passed which will permit wagers to be made
on race tracks or in buildings where actual contests are being
held, and if this is done it will be sufficient. At present
there is no excuse whatever for the toleration of the pool-
room evil in our midst.

Making Speed at Marysvllle.

Marysville (Cal.), May 25, 1900.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman — Anyone interested
in harness horses who might have visited the Marysville
track on last Sunday would have derived much pleasure in
looking at the several fine animals getting their workouts.

Ex-Sheriff William Harkey of Sutter county was there,
watch in hand, catching fast miles and halves and quarters
and takiDg notes of the improvement shown over the pre-
vious Sunday. Mr. Harkey is president of the association of
this district and owns a sweet two year old filly by Moses S.,
dam by Ulster Wilkes, from which he hopes great things.

James Littlejohn, who has a fine grey filly by the Bame
horse, dam by Brigadier, which goes like a whirlwind, was
also there. In fact, there were so many visitors, probably a
hundred, that a stranger would have thought a race meeting
in progress.

William Hogoboom is driving quite a large siring of his
own and is training a number of horses for outside owners.
He has Lynall 2:28 by Lynmont, dam Balance All, owned
by Mr. Geo. KingBbury, proprietor of the Lick House, San
Francisco, that is steadily improving after having been
roaded all winter.

Charles H. by Lynmont, dam Elmorene, a two year old
trotter, driven by William Hogoboom, stepped a quarter in
forty seconds very handily, after very little work. This
fellow is entered in the Stanford and Occident Stakes of next
year, in the Preparation Stakes at Dubuque, Iowa, and will
be on the circuit this year. He is large and is a fine looker.

Lena A. 2:21}, winner of last year's Occident, purchased
at the Knight sale by John Giblin of Sutter county, has
grown considerably and is now a beautiful animal. Mr.
Giblin, who paid $350 at the sale for this mare, has been
offered and can get now $600 for her, but she is not for Bale.
Driven by Mr. Hogoboom, and timed by Mr. Harkey and
myself, she trotted last quarter in 33 seconds with the great-
est ease.

Lady McDonald by Direct, first dam by Brigadier, second
dam by Venture, owned by J. B. MoDonald, trotted a mile
out in 2:26, moving through the last quarter in 34 seconds
flat. Mr. Hogoboom thinks she is a fine prospect for a green
one, having almost faultless action and great speed. Look
oat for her this fall.

finish Mc 2:27} (two year old record) by McKinney, dam
Balance All, is now the property of Messrs. Hogoboom and
Kingsbury, and is working fully up to expectations. The
wiiter saw her trot a mile out in 2:30, coming the last half
in 1:12 Th'iB is one of the handsomest mares in the State.

Dr. J. H. Barr, of MaryBville, purchased at the Knight
sale the bay two year old filly by the great Altamont, dam
Knighthood (full sister to Balance All). 8he is a pacer and
giveB promise of becoming a great one, perhaps another Che-
halie, and is entered in the pacing stake at the State Fair.

Another remarkably fine colt, which Mr. Hogoboom is
training, is Eugene 8ammv's three year old pacer, Waldstein
Jr. by Waldstein, dam Loo Star by Brigadier, second dam
by Echo. ThiB gelding is entered in the Breeders' Futurity
He is very fast and steps quarters in 34 seconds without any
trouble. He will be seen on the circuit this year, and his
owner has a mortgage on a big share of the money.

Mr. Hogoboom next brought out Daimont 2:17 by Lyn-
mont dam Daisy by Friday McCracken, second dam by
Henry Belmont, full brother to Venture, and drove him a
mile easily in 2:21. This horse is now owned by Mrs.
William Hogoboom and is her particular pet. I think he
could have eaualed bis record to-day had he been asked to
do eo.

Another good one is Elmer Hogoboom's four year old
pacer Elmont by Lynmont, dam by Tilton Almont. He iB

a biy gelding aud has been worked only a short time, but yet
he has paced his mile in 2:29, spurting the last quarter io 34
seconds. He is being trained by his young owner, who
promises to become as skillful a reinsman as his father.

A Mr. Brown of Gridtey is having a sorrel pacer by Silver
King driven and trained by Mr. Hogoboom. He is a Bix
year old and a good prospect.

Ab will be seen by the foregoing notes the Lynmont colts
are coming fully up to expectations and while there are many
of them owned in Yuba and Sutter counties, there are none
of them for sale. They are, without exception, handsome,
showy and fast. The old horse, himself thirteen years old
this spring, looks and feels like a two year old, and is as
beautiful a specimen of the standard-bred trotter as one
could find in a day's travel. He is highly thought of by the
horse owners in this viciuity as is evidenced by the fact that
his 8ea6on's book has been well filled and he has had all the
mares to serve that his owner would receive. The handsome
big draft stallion Duke, a magnificent fellow weighing fully
1800 pounds, has also had a busy time of it attending to
about 80 mares.

Mr. Padilla, of Marysville, is giving his fine sorrel mare,
Hazel B , plenty of good careful work and she is trotting like
clock work, quarters in 35 seconds being well within her
limit. Mr. F. is going after some of the money this year on
the circuit.

Charles Eaish with his famous old mare Cj clone 2.21},
will also be heard from this year at the races. She can
negotiate very fast miles if asked and can repeat them as
often as anybody's horse. On Sunday she trotted a mile out
in 2:23, the last half in 1:10 and the last quarter in 32}
seconds.

Mr. Ryan ia training Charles Frisbie's five year old sorrel
pacer, by a son of Brigadier, dam, a mare from Oregon
(supposed to be a Vermont mate). She Beems to be level-
headed, fast and game. Mr. Kyan has had her only about
four or five weeks and yet has already driven her in 2:23.
He also has William Leech's handsome mare Silver Bells,
which promises to be better this year than ever. Mr. Ryan
believing that ''variety is the spice of life" has a runner in
his string belonging to Geo. Eager, of Sutter county. The
writer does not know the pedigree of his bang tail, but if
Mr. Ryan's expectations are fulfilled, everybody will know
it before the close of the season.

Beverly Crampton is quartered at the track with two run-
ners, Hunch by Balgowan, and Nomadic, by Nomad. The
colts are looking fine and are said to be very promising.

Dan Morgan has his fine racer McFarlane in good shape
and is also working a two year old ruoner.

1 forgot to mention that Mr. Henry Heiber, the handsome
and popular manager of the Marysville Winery, spends a
part of nearly every evening at the Marysville track in driv-
ing his recently-broken four year old Lynmont colt, which
he desires to have both gentle and speedy, not for racing but
for courting purposes. The girls are waiting in the mean-
time.

Down at Suel Harris', in Sutter county, Walter McAlpine
is giving his fine mare Dora Doe 2:22} by Don Lowell, dam
by Brigadier, careful preparation. They say she can step
your eye out. Mr. Harris himself is driving a number o'
promising colts. One, of which be thinks very highly, is a
granddaughter of Steinway, dam by old Washington, who
has a record of 2:21} li high wheel sulky. She is a pacer
and remarkably fast. Another is the three year old colt by
McKinney, dam by Antevolo, second dam Esmeralda, dam
of Don Lowell, that is said to go like the wind.

Yours truly,

Poston.

Texas Horses Stepping Some.

Dallas (Texas), May 13, 1900.

Editor Breeder and 8portsman— As the weather has
been good here for the past week the trainers have been
sending their charges along some. W. O. Foote drove John
Nolan rive slow heats from 2:35 to 2:20, last half in 1 :05,
last quarter io 30} seconds; The Private, pacer, a quarter in
30 seconds; Neta W. 2:10}, pacer, a quarter in 30} seconds.
L. Nelson, Jr., drove his mare Texas Queen 2:25, pacer, a
few slow miles, the last one in 2:20, last half in 1:05, last
quarter in 30} seconds. This was on Tuesday, the 8th, and
upon the 9th Mr. Foote drove his four year old by Gov.
8trong 2:10} a half in 1:06}, last quarter in 31} seconds.
This colt is a trotter and his name is Gov. McCauly in big
letters. Your humble servant stepped the following upon
Wedoesday, the 9th— Ima Electrite (4) 2:45, 2:35, 2:28, last
quarter in 32 seconds; 2:17, last quarter in 31} seconds. 8he
works and acts like she would do. Porto Rico, her three
year old brother, in 2:40, 2:27J, last half in 1:09, last quarter
in 31} seconds, and 2:29}.

I think he will be due at Buffalo in August in the Horse
Review Stake. Emerin Electrite (4), pacer, in 2:45, 2:33,
last quarter in 32 seconds; 2:27}, last quarter io 31* seconds;
2:28, last quarter in 30 seconds flat. She is quite small,
only weighing 750 pounds, but a great goiog filly. Dallas
Texas (4), pacer, 2:45, 2:38, 2:26}, 2:22}, last quarter in 33
seconds very easily. Upon the 10th, I worked two two year
old trotters by Electrite, Aylwin, M:45, 2:33, last half in
1:14}, last quarter in 34J seconds. Madeline Electrite, sister
to Blondie 2:13}, in 2:50 and 2:38, last half in 1:15}, last
quarter in 35} seconds. I also gave Elrod 2:13 J, pacer, a
few slow miles in 2:50, 2:40, 2:28, 2:27, 2:24}, the last quarters
of the last two miles in 32} seconds. He is big and strong
this spring and working well. He is being groomed by an
old California boy, Ben Guisman alias Kansas of Geo. Dex-
ter fame. He also helps me work a few as he is pretty handy
with the ribbons himself.

Last but not least, Mr. Geo. R. King, our local trainer
here, stepped Blondie 2:13* a few heats from 2:45 to 2:25,
the last quarter in 30} seconds. Lee Hill, a green pacer, in
2:38, 2:25, 2:17, last quarter in 30} seconds and one-eighth in
14 seconds. How will that do? Yonra truly,

J. 8. Phippen.

Horace Brown relates that he once tried the experiment
of givine Belle Hamlin 2:12} a weli rated mile, and another
one at full speed for the whole distance, and this was the
result: " The first mile I rated pretty evenly, sending Belle
to the first quarter in 34 seconds, and she trotted every other
quarter in the same time, coming home in exactly 2:16, and
as fresh as a daisy. After a suitable rest, I brought Belle
nut for another mile, this time driving her at her highest
speed right from the start. She turned the first quarter in
33 seconds, passed the half-pole in exactly 1:05, which was a
2:10 clip, and reached the three-quarter mark in 1:42. Up
through the homestretch Belle wes visibly distressed, and she
slackened her speed very perceptibly, getting under the wire
in 2:25, and covering the last quarter in 43 seconds. She
couldn't stand the killing pace in the beginning; neither can
any other badly rated horse.

PeRCT writes as follows in the New York Telegraph of a
mare bred at Sulphur Spring Farm in this State by Mr. A.
G. Gurne'.t: "The other afternoon I saw Mr. Maynard step
Dolly Marchutz to a light Caffrey a quarter right around a
2:15 gait, and she never went better in all her life. In the
far West I saw lots of her, but she never impressed me as
favorably as right now, even though I've seen her trot mile9
in 2:13 "

A Popular Road House.

Among the popular resorts situated in
close proximity to Golden Gate Park, and
easily reached from the many roadB that
lead to the ocean, the Casino is one of the
best known, and under the management of
H. Leonhardt has been in great favor with
the road riding public. It is situated at the
end of the McAllister street car line exten-
sion, at the corner of 24!h avenue and Fol-
ton streets, and is surrounded by the moBt
beautiful scenery. From its broad verandas
and large open windows can be seen all the
points of interest about that portion of the
8an Franciscan peninsula. To the east a
beautiful panoramic view of the city spreads
out before the eye; to the south Golden Gate
Park, with its smooth drives, elegant speed-
way, Strawberry Hill, Conservatory, Buffalo
and Elk paddocks, is spread in all its beauty
and grandeur; to the west the sublime
Pacific with Cliff House and Seal Rocks ; and the Farallone
Islands 25 miles distant; to the north the Golden Gate with
its fortifications, bare cliffs and lighthouses, and beyond
Mount Tamalpais greets the eye with its scenic railroad
winding from foot to summit.

But while scenery can be feasted on, ocean breezes bring an
appetite that requires satisfaction in more material things and

top of the coffeepot, ending in a nozzle perforated on its
under side. Jnst underneath the nozzle was a circular metal
tray also perforated. This held the coflee. The action of
the coffeepot was tbie: When the water came to a boil the
pressure of the eteam underneath the lower disk forced the
hot water up through the hollow pillar and out through the
perforations of the nozzle. This, dripping down upon and
through the coffee in the tray, carried its strength down into
the water below. Fifteen minutes' simple boiling of this
ntensil made good strong coffee. Boiled coffee made in the
ordinary way is usually pretty poor stuff, unless produced
under the care of an expert. The French coffeepot, while
producing a good beverage, must first be warmed by the
admission of hot water, which simply doubles the amount of
work. It looks, therefore, as if the above described coffeepot
would become popular with outerB who are not professional
cooks, but who usually are in a hurry. Its price is not high,
considering it is made of aluminum, which weighs very little
and will not tarnish. _

The magnitade of the lake fishing fleet and of a year's
catch will astonieh the general public, says the Inter-Ocean.
One company in Chicago traps fish in deep water in Lake
Michigan, Lake Huron and Lake Superior which are of more
value than all the Behering sea seal fisheries over which the
United StateB and Great Britain have several times narrowly
escaped going to war. There are one or two other fishing
companies engaged on tbe three lakes mentioned, Vut the
Chicago concern has almost complete twing. They employ
a fleet of steam craft and have the most improved traps or
nets, and the work goes on night and day. Tons of fish are
landed every day or two, and the market of the whole
country for fresh water fish is supplied. Immense quantities
of these lake fish are canned, smoked, or dried. It is under-
stood that this lake fishing business is without tax or hin-
drance, and that it is clear profit. The coming census of the
fisheries, if it is complete, will show that there are millions
in it for the few concerns engaged.

Of late years the business has grown with more rapid
strideB than ever before, yet the increase from 1880 to 1890
was 53 per cent over the preceding decade, and the increase

Sharp Hooks

To the striped bass angler the importance of having sharp
hooks is an essential feature of his tackle when making a
strike for this .acne fish. In the capture of these hard
monthed customers, the thickness of the hook near the point
is frequently a great obstacle to its entrance, and as a conse-
quence many fish are lost. A plan that seems to have worked
successfully, not only on striped bass but on other hard
jawed fish as well, is the following:

With a small file make four facets on the point of the
hook, two on tbe lateral surfaces of the barb, and two on the
lateral surfaces of the point opposite the barb. By this pro-
cedure 1b secured two knife-like catting edges, a thin dagger
point in fact. When dressed with the file, tonch up the sur-
face with a small hone and a hook thus prepared easily
passes through a tough mouth.

This suggestion may be met with tbe remark that the filing
will weaken the hook and impair the efficiency of the barb.
A large sized hook, as sold in the shops, in many cases fails
to pass through the jaw of a fish or deeply into the tissues;
and, as a consequence, the pressure mainly comes on the
point, and it tears out or breaks at the junction of the barb
with the body of the hook. A hook provided with catting
edges passes through the jaw or lodge? deeply, and the bear-
ing comes on the bend, where it properly belongs.

A local angler who has used hooks prepared in this man-
ner states that on more than one occasion has he bad hooks
broken by large or hard mouthed fisb, but in no case when they
were provided with cutting edges. In practice, he claims, it
is surprising to find how easy it is to deeply hook a hard
mouthed fisb with hooks provided with catting edges.
Many fishermen have accused the fish of breaking hoots by
the pressure of their jaws, etc., when the true explanation
was, that the hook used did not enter the fish's jaw deep
enough to bring the strain on the bend and of course either
snapped or tore out.

A couple of good things were shown us the other day in the
way of picoic equipment. One was a email leather covered
cardboard case which could be slipped into the hip pocket
without inconvenience. It contained a small flat tumbler of
heavy glass, and within this was contained a knife, fork and
spoon, all three folding into the handles, the same as an ordi-
nary pocket knife, and fastened to a strip of leather to keep
them from rattling. Equipped with this a picnicker, excur-
sionist or angler is always sure of the most necessary parts of
his eating outfit, and the compact form of the carrying case
presents a great advantage over the ordinary sized knives
and forks that usually take up so much room in an outfit.

The other article was an aluminum coffeepot fitted with a
circular concave disk which rested on the bottom. From the
center of this there ran a hollow aluminum rod almost to the

in capital invested was 110 per cent. The catch increased
to 1,000,000,000 pounds. In the year 1890 the number of
persons engaged in the lake fisheries (all tbe lakes), was 6996;
number of steamers 107, valued at $350,000; number of
vessels and boats, 3876, valued at $325,000; pound nets, trap
nets, $825 000; gill nets, $400,000; shore property, $1,000,000,
a total of $3,000,000. The catch that year was 118 000,000
pounds, the retail value being $5,000,000. In 1880 the
catch of trout, most abundant on Lake Michigan, was
4,397,031 pounds and the increase in 1890 was 65 per cent.
With ihe immense increase in the whole fishing business in
the last ten years, the coming census figures must indeed
prove startling, when it is borne in mind that there is no sort
of Ux and that the business is clear profit.

Sturgeon as large as voang whales are captured in Lake
Michigan and Lakes Huron and Superior. Next to white-
fish, herring is the most abundant and profitable catch.

Last Sunday C. F. WilliamB, W, W. Wilson and Gay R.
Kennedy of Chico caught three large salmon in the Sacra-
mento river with a hook and line. One of the fish weighed
twenty-three pounds after being dressed, and as the fishermen
were only using small lines and trout rods, it seems almost
impossible that so heavy a fish could be landed.

The catching of salmon with a hook and line is very un-
usual in the upper Sacramento. On Saturday at Jacinto a
Chinese fisherman caught a Bturgeon weighing 300 poends.

At the Traps.

The Association trap shooting grounds at Ingleside will be
at the disposal of the San Francisco Gun Clab for their
regular monthly live bird shoot and the Olympic Gnn Club.
Bine rock shooting will be the diversion for the latter club
members, the regular monthly clab events and practice and
pool shooting being on the schedule of events.

The fourth Sunday of each month is devoted by the Em-
pire Gun Club to pool and practice events on the clnb
grounds at Alameda junction.

The challenge issued by the Empire Gun Clab to the
Olympic Gun Clab has not been accepted, the conditions
prohibiting the participation of a trade representative in the
shoot being the stumbling block. It was reported that the
San Francisco Gan Clab was next in order for a contest; this
race may come np later possibly, the Empires meanwhile
have decided to enter a twelve man team in a contest for the
Neustadter trophy, the Lincoln Gnn Clnb are the present
holders of the trophy. Should all preliminaries be satisfac-
tory the race will take place on Jane 17th, that date being
the regular monthly shoot of the Lincolns. This contest
should be a very interesting race.

Many of oar shooters are much in favor of double target
Bhooting — a style of trap work that has fallen into disuse, not
disfavor, of late years. It is not as rapid as tqad shooting,
but it is pretty work and calls for a degree of skill that re-
quires high art with the shot gun to make big scores. It has
also the spice of variety which will make it a decided relief
from the stereotyped form of trapshooting now most in vogue.

The management of the Iogleside grounds are contem-
plating an innovation in trap shooting events that is meet-
ing with strong support from the shooters who frequent the
Association shooting park. It is proposed to hold on July
1st a live bird shoot for a valuable trophy which we believe
is to be donated by Mr. Herbert Kullman. In connection
with the shoot a bull's head breakfast will be the feature of
the day.

Should this program be carried oat, we venture to say that
the attendance will be large — Bide attractions of this character
made the gatherings of trap shooters in the past at San
Bruno and other places b flairs that are fondly remembered
by man; of those who face the traps tc-day.

The Association grounds at Ingleside are now open on
week days to shooters from 12 o'clock until 5 p. m. Shooters
desiring to use either tbe live bird traps or the blue rock
section can be accommodated at five minutes' notice.

Entries for the Dooohoe trophy live bird shoot promise to
be numerous the event next Wednesday will be a lively one
from start to finish.

The California Wing Clab pigeon shoot for this month
was held ot Iogleside last Sunday, instead of on the 6lh inst.
as originally scheduled. Clarence Nauman made three
straight runs of twelve birds. C. H. Shaw and W. H.
Williamson also shot clean scores during the clab race. Six
bird races were in order after the main event of the day.

An interesting communication, descriptive of an outing at
Black Point of the Striped Bass Club, was received from tbe
club secretary too late for publication this week we regret to
state.

The Lincoln shoot last Sunday at Ingleside was the attrac-
lion for a number of shooters who fancied blue rock Bhooting.
Four principal races were on the card, in the first of which,
a twenty-five bird match, tbe high men were Clarence A-
Height, Edg. Forster, W. J. Golcher, C. C. Nauman and
Jules Bruns. This race also brought out several shooters

Wynebamer vs People. 13 I*. Y.. S98; People vs Oilc 90 X Y., 48.
To deprive the petitioner of the nse of the goo In questlou is there-
fore to deprive him of htB property. Not only bo, but if Marin
county may lawfully prohibit ibe use of such goo, every other
county wltbln the State of California may, a* a matter of ctur>e, do
likewise, and bo may every other State acd Territory within the
United States, thus practically destroying the manufacture of this
class of guns for the shooting of game within tbe United States. Of
courpe. this right of property, as well as the higher right of liberty of
action on the part 01 the owner— the rights here involved of freely
nBlng one's own property— is subject to the lawful exercise of the
police power; a power which, as said by the Court in tbe Siaughter-
Hoase Cases, 16 Wall,, 36, 62. "1b, and must tefrom Its very nature,
incapable of any very exact definition or limitation." It is not de-
Died on the part of the pet I1 loner, and cannot De successfully denied,
that private property and private rights must always yield where the

?ublic safety, public health, or public morals demand the sacrifice,
bus, if a great conflagration is spreading towards one's house and
toe public exigency demands it, the Individual's home may be torn
down or blown up. If Both drastic meseure be necessary to stay the
fire. So may gambling and dancehouses and such devices and other
thing* as have direct relation to public morals, be absolutely In-
hibited and problbiied. On the same principle— that of dauber to
the public— It Is held that the sale of Intoxicating liquor by retail
miybe entirely prohibited, and the value of breweries destrojedby
the laws prohibiting the manufacture of malt liquors. Carroll vs
Chrlstiensen, 137 U. S . 8^; Muegler vs Kansas, V/3 U. 8.. 6C9. But
surely. In a case like the one at the bar, where there Is no question of
the public safety, public health, or public morals, and where the pro-
hibited act Is In no respec malum in se, tbe absolute prohibition of
the use of one's own property on his own land cannot be held to be
a reasonable exercise of the police power, when regulation will
plainly attain the end de-ired by tbe legis'ation in question. In the
present instance, what was the end sought? Manifestly only the
prevention of tbe tubing or billing by one person of more than
twenty-five quail, partridge or grouse In any one day; for Section 3
of the ordinance provides " Every person who In the county of Marin
shall have in biB possession In anyone day more than twenty-five
quail, partridge or grouse shall be guilty of a misdemeanor." That
end is Just as effectively accomplished withoot tbeobnoxi ms section
as with it. It Is wholly immaterial to that object whether tbe sports-
man or hunter use a repeating or magazine gun, oradooble orsingK-
barreled gun. When tbe limit is reached be has to stop shooting or
Incur the penalty prescribed. And the opportunity of detection is
just as great In the one case as in the other No valid reason Is
therefore perceived, and none hue been suggested by counsel, why
the owner of a repeating or magazioe Bhot gun should be prohibited
from o-irg it, and the owner of the equally. If not more effective,
double-barreled automatic ejector shot gun be free to use it, in bill-
ing the twenty-five quail, partridge or grouse permitted to be billed

The petitioner was convicted in the Justice's Court of Marin county,
Caliio-nia, of a violation of the provisions of an ordinance enacted
by the Board of Supervisors of that conn tv declaring in its 7th section
that "Every person who, in the conniy of Marin, shall use any kind
of a repeating shot gun. or any kind of a magazine shot gun for the

wild duck, geese, quail, patridge, grouse dove-, or any other birds."
This ordinance does not assume to protect blue jays in any other way
and I think It would puzzle any one to give a sensible reason why it
should, for they are well known pests, and are no fit for human food
and are, thereiore, not within the purview of the polica power In re-
spect to game, the -onrce of which, said the Supreme Court in Geer
vs. Connecticut. 161 U. 8., 534 "flows from the duty 01 the Stale to
preserve for iis people a valuable food supply." Yet a blue Jay was
o e of tbe two birds the petliioner was charged with, and co-ivicted
of killing, and for which he is imprisoned. And that blue jay the
ordinance in question permittee! the petitioner, or any other person,
to kill with a rock, rifle, cannon, double or single -barreled shot gun.

Tbe broad question In the case is wheiber all or either of these pro-

market directly. The profit comes chiefly in the squabs, and
the old pigeons are merely disposed of finally when they get
rather loo old for breeding purposes. These pigeons put on
. the market would bring very little, because they are old and
tongh, and the meat they furnish is hardly good eating.
Nevertheless they make excellent birds for the traps. They
are strong of wind and their flight is oftentimes more power-
ful and rapid than that of younger birds. There is conse-
quently a demand for such birds from the trap-shojting clubs.

A word or two about the needs and demands of these clubs
should be of interest to those engaged in raising pigeons and
squabs for market, for their consumption is bo large to-day
that they form one of the leading factors in the market. The
trap-shooting season begins in early fall and extends well
through the winter, and during nearly all the winter holi-
days thousands of pigeons are shot from the traps. In and
around New York all the way from 20,000 to 50,000 pigeons
are shot in traps every season. On extra occasions when
large matches are arranged, 25,000 birds will be needed in
one week. The questson of obtaining this number of birds
at one time is often a difficult one to solve. Formerly it was
impossible to do it, but to-day marketmen and special breed-
ers have come to the rescue. The marketmen collect the
few consignments of pigeons that come to the city from dif-
ferent parts of the country and hold them for the trap-shoot-
ing clubs. Some market men carry large consignments along
for weeks just to supply such a sudden demand. They have
the dates of the different shoots, and they keep in direct
touch with the clubs. But this system hardly works satis-
factorily, and special breeders of trap pigeons have gone into
the business. On Long Island there are several farmers who
make a specialty of this. They raise thousands of pigeons
for the trap shooters, and they are ready at any moment to
supply a club's demand for one, two, three or ten thousand
birds. Immense wire inclosures keep the e pigeons within
restricted areas. They have been fed sufficiently to make
them Btrong and able flyers. The trap shooting clubs de-
mand above all things else fast and active birds. Sluggish
and alow flyers are not wanted. In the great cages where
they are raised for the clubs, the birds are exercised every
day by a man entering the enclosure and snapping a huge
whip. The crack of this frightens the birds so that they fly
around in great flocks. This morning and evening exercise
is considered necessary for the proper development of wing
power.

As a rule, young pigeons are in demand, and these must be
Btrong and healthy. The clubs are willing to pay their
prices for birds that come up to the standard. Slate colored
or "blue'1 birds are the favorites for this purpose, and
pigeons of this class that are guaranteed to be last Bell for 75
cents per pair. Breed does not count, and fancy pigeons are
not in demand. It is speed and activity that the shooters
want. Ordinary pigeons are bought for fifty cents per pair.
When the birds are shot they become the property of the
clnb organizing the tournament and not of tbe individual
shooter. Large quantities of these are then sold direct to
the marketmen, and they are either placed immediately on
sale or put in cold storage. Immediately after a pigeon
tournament the prices for dead pigeons — or squabs, as they
are often called — drop a good deal, and the outside breeder
who happened to ship his birds to market at such a time
would lose money. In order to make pigeon raising a
success, the breeder muBt keep in touch with the trap-
shooting tournaments and the gun clubs. There is more
money to be made in supplying the clubs with the pigeons
than the markets. The clubs inform those who supply the
markets with the dates for their shoots and pigeons can
then be sold to them. Nothing but strong, active birds
should be shipped, for the breeder who makes the mistake
of thinking that he can dispose of any old stock to the clubs
will suffer. The birds will be shipped back at his expense.
No one knows better how to test the pigeons than those who
have charge of the pigeon matches. The marketman gets
the dead pigeons after the shooting at $1 per dozen, at which
price the outside breeder cannot make any profit.

State Sportsmen's Convention for the Protec-
tion of Game.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

The Olympic Gun Club directors have decided not to
maintain duck shooting on other preserves during the com-
ing season.

Twenty-five of the club members have, however, leased
the preserves held by the club last year, located in the
Suisnn marshes near Cordelia station and will prepare for
duck shooting this fall and winter.

The waning days of the present trap season will be cele-
brated in a unique and jovial manner by the members of the
Empire Gun Clnb .and guesfs accompanied by their wives
and sweethearts. Special cars and a brass band will also be
provided, On September 30th, at the club preserve in
Marin county a combined live bird and blue rock shoot will
take place. A bull's head dinner promisee to meet all the
occasion demands in the way of refreshment.

Paoiflo Fox Terrier Olub.

A regular meeting of the Fox Terrier Club was held
on Monday evening at 141 Sutter 'street, the members
present were N. H. Hickman, President, and Messrs. Moore,
Harley, Foster, Martin and Hemelbright. The prizes won
by various members at the recent bench show were distri-
buted to the accompaniment of speeches, mutual congratula-

tion and the dispensation of good cheer. Much enthusiasm
and interest is being manifesied among tbe Fox Terrier fan-
ciers in the Second Division of the Produce Stake of 1900,
competition in which at the recent bench sh jw wss the first
in a stake af this character on the Pacific Coast to be brought
to a successful issue. The race for winning entries in the
show next year promises to be a hot one. The club has
opened entries for a renewal of entries in the same stake to
be competed for in this city in 1901. The following entries
already appear— H. G. Hemelright's (Powhattan Kennels)
8hadyBide Tippett (Dolionis— Bit of Fortune). Same owner's
Warren Tattle (Ch. Warren Safeguard— Warre nTongs). BT.
H. Hickman's Warren Supple (Clandian— Warren Success).
Same owner's Idalia (Vigilant— Klmwood Grace). J. B.
Martin's Golden Sunshine (Ch. Veracity— Oh. Golden
Jewel). Further entries will be made during the next sixty
dayB.

Messrs. Martin and Hickman were appointed delegates to
the specialty club convention which will shortly convene in

The four favorite makes of ebot guns used among our local
trap shooters representing a large percentage of the trap
shooters of the Coast, are the Parker, Smith, Clabrough and
Remington guns. High grade guns by these reliable and old
established makers are becoming almost a fad recently. P.
J. Walsh, whose live bird shooting created so much interest
at the State live bird shoot and meetings following uses a 32
inch barrel Remington that he has shot with for a number
of years paBt.

Ansley H. Fox of Baltimore broke the blue rock record
on duubl es at Baltimore on Tuesday, the 15th inst. The feat
was the result of a wager he made that he could break 43
out of 50, shooting at double targets.

Fox began by smashing the first ten without a miss and
after a few minutes' rest he started on his second ten. These
were also ground to powder without a miss, as were also the
third and fourth ten. He began on his last string amid great
excitement. They, two, were disposed of without a miss,
and Fox had broken the record. His friends then asked
him to shoot at fifty more to see how high a score he could
make. He then broke forty-eight out of the next fifty, mak-
ing a practically straight ran of forty-nine doubles, which
beats the best score yet made.

his city for the purpose of arranging a fall circuit of bench
howB under A. K. C. rules.

Percy Ward of Fruitvale and Mr. Hogan of this city, were
elected members of the club.

An interesting booklet has been issued by the club con-
taining a list of the club officers and members, rules and by-
laws, standard, etc., which should be in the hands of every
Fox Terrier fancier.

OOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Prospects for a fall circuit under A. K. C. rules are
encouraging.

The outlook for a show in Oakland during August or
September is more than favorable.

A custom that is overlooked by some owners of bitches is
the payment of the service fee "when the bitch is sent to'be
served" and not afterwards.

Complications arising from the disposition of the field trial
class award at the recent show promise to crop up when the
case is taken up by the A. K, C.

Hi

Powhattan Kennels' Warren Clerk.

Claude Duval (Ch. D'Orsay-CIytba Starlight) about two weeks
ago was due to have a litter this week. Tippet is spoken of
very highly by the well known breeder Mr. G M.Carnochan.
.Duval's record is too well known to go into details here.
This breeding should be of incalculable value to the Fox
Terrier fancy of the Coast.

W. H. McFee, of Lo6 Angeles, recently received from New
York the excellent Yorkshire Terrier brood bitch Ashton

Wonder (Ashton Msjor ). She had been bred to

Ashton Premier, first in New York, 1898, 1899. She is
about two years old and weighs four pounds, has had a fair
bench career and is tbe litter sister of two winners, Pearl and
Marvel. The price paid is said to be a long one, but the
bitch is considered one of the best ever brought to the Coast.
Mr. McFee has an option on a dog, eighteen months old
which is looked upon as a coming winner.

Petaluma Organizing a DriviDg Club.

Petaluma, May 19. -A driving clnb is beiDg organized
in this city which promises lo bring back lively days to the
race track and to revive interest in gocd horseflesh. Prom
inent members of the horse fraternity here are at the head of
the movement, and an endeavor will be made to creale inter"
est and secure fifty or sixty members at a small membership
fee per month. Many citizans have signified their intention
of joining, imong those who are advocating the enterprise
are William Kuss, D. J. Healey, J. T. Bhiallerr, (J F.
Northrup, Dr. J T. 0 Erien, F. A. Wickersham and others
The owners of Asncultnral Park have given tbeir consent to
the me of (he race irack, and it ie the intention of the pro-
jectors to pat .the track in good condition and hold race!
Ihe races will be principally for local horse owners, bat all

•n k u '.rJ0pbleS "!" be ioaugoraled, while the meetings
will be held at stated intervals

It is not intended to limit the club to harness events alone,
but runners will be given place on the card of entry in
future meetings of the clob.

In anticipation of tbe repairing of the track and the opening
o^meets, horsemen are already bringing ani als here to

One stable of runnirg horses arrived from San Franciaco
laBt evening per steamer, and are now housed at the Fair
Urounde, where there is commodious and good quarters
Several more strings are eipecled lo arrive the coming week

The organization of the driving club in Petaluma will put
this city again in a position to entertain horsemen and
develop tbe speedy roadsters of Sonoma county

The assurance that there will be a club lo handle the rac-
ing for the district fair adds another step to securing the
fair for this city. s

The work of improving the track at Agricultural Park at
Sicramento has been completed. Five inches of clay of a
character peculiarly adapted for race courses has been spread
and leveled over tbe entire track. The work was under the
supervision of Agricultural Director J. W. WilBon, Superin-
tendent of the park.

The society has expanded ab:>ut $4000 in the last few
weeks in improving the track, grounds and stables, and while
thare is much more to ba doae as soon as funds are available,
inestimable good has already been accomplished.

The track is in ungoificsat condition, and in less than a
month, when the new earth shall have been well pulverized,
it will be, the horseman unreservedly declare, the fastest in
the State. It is not unreasonable to expect that with the in-
creased interest in harness racing which is being laken, and
the liberal purses and stakes which are being offered in Cali-
fornta, tbe performances on the 8acramento track at the
State Fair this fall will compare well with those of Charter
Oak, Readville and other noted tracks of the country.

It is easy to uudereitimate the value to 8acramento of the
many horses in training, and expected to train at Agricul-

Golden Gate Park Driving Association Furnish
Good Sport for a Large Crowd.

At least tire thousand people attended the races given by
the Goldeu Gate Park Driving Association at the California
Jockey Club's track at Emeryville, on Wednesday last, Dec-
oration Day. There were six races on the card, and owing
to a few delays and split heals it wa9 seven o'clock before
the last heat was finished.

There were seven starters in the first race, Harry Patrick's
three year old colt Satin wood, a son of Silkwood, being made
a strong favorite on the strength of fast workouts. In the
first heat Satinwood came with a burst of speed at the finieh
and beat Sandow for the first position by about a length. In
the second heat Satinwood broke just before the word was
given, and before his driver could get him squared he was
far in the rear of Sandow, the leader. Belying on the speed
of his c U Patrick began a furious drive for the heat, and
when he reached the leader at the three-quarter pole, had
the colt pumped out and was beaten two lengths at the wire.
Sandow acted well and was game, winning the next heat
rather easily, all the horses but the two heat winners being
sent to the stable after the Becond heat. Sandow is by
Dictatus 2:19$ out of Etta, the dam of Cora C 2:22k and
others, by Naubuc. He is a pacer.

The Becond race had five starters, with Prince C, a son of
St. Nicholas as favorite. He is a game horse with consider-
able spaed, but erratic, and indulged in a g3od many breaks
the first heat, finishing fourth, while Mattie 6., a brown mare
by Alex Button, won very handily in 2:21$. Prince C.
paced steadily after this, however, and won as he pleased in
2:21$ and 2:20. In the third heat, when the two heat win-
ners scored down, they went away without the word and in
Bpite of a vigorous ringing of the recall bell kept on around
tbe track. The drivers were compelled to pace another
mile, which made Prince C, entered in the Cup race, too
tired to make much of a showing in tbe later event.

There was a little trouble over Ihe free for all pace in
which Our Dick 2:10}, driven by Dan Misner, and King
Cadenza 2:20, driven by H. H Djalap, his owner, were the
only starters. The first heat was a very pretty one, the
horses being lapped all the way. Our Dick, in spite of bis
age, has a great burst of speed, and Misner drove him to the
half in 1:05:}, with King Cadenza at his throat latch. Tbere
was a slight collision between the two sulkies at this point
and Mr. Dnnlan's bike loat three spokes out of one wneel.
Tbe h OT666 slowed up coming home, Our Dick crossing the
wire all cat to ibe last breath at tbe finish in 2:18£, a length
in front of King Cadenza who seemed to be going easy and
not a bit distressed. The judges called Mr. Dunlap to the
stand and questioned him. He stated that he tried to win
but called attention to the condition of his sulky and insisted
that he was trying to win the race. In the next heat it was
evident that Our Dick was done for and that King Cadecza
beat him easily in 2:22$. The judges then ordered both
drivers to surrender their horses and declared all bets off and
no heat. Dr. Dunlap refused rather emphatically and pro-
fanely to do so, and the race was awarded to Our Dick. The
judges made a very bad raling in this race. It was not con-
clusive evidence because King Cadecza won the second heat
in 2:22$ that he was laid up the first in 2:13$. The difference
of four seconds was sufficient to satisfy any reasonable person?,
If he did lay up the first heat and it was evident to the
judges, they should have endeavored to change drivers then,
but if it was not clearly evident, the second heat furnished
no further evidence. This criticism is not offered in any
captious spirit, but as a suggestion to ihe members and the
judges who may be called upon to act at future meetings.
The incident was the only one of the day which called for
any criticism from anyone.

The O'Kane Cup race had four starters. Johnny Ohlandt,
who won the last year's race with Harvey B. in 2:31, tried to
keep it this year with Alameda Maid, but Dr. Q. W. Kleiser
won it verv easily with Alta Vela, a twelve year old son of
the great Electioneer. Alta Vela is a trotter and a good ens
and 2:15 sbonld not stop htm if trained and raced. No bitttr
gaited horse ever pulled a bike and he won the second heat
pulled up in 2:19|, thus giving Electioneer another in his
long list of standard performers. Alta Vela's dam is Lorita
2:18$ by Piedmont.

General 8miih, a good looking, steady going trotter, splen-
didly driven by Mr. W. C. Hammerton, won the fifth race
in straight beats, while Harvey B , last year's cup winner,
won tbe sixth race in the same wty and reduced his record.

Breeder and Sportsman — I enclose you herewith list
of entries in the Stanford Stake of 1902 and Colt Stakes Nos.
1, 2 and 4, to be trotted at the State Fair this fall. Colt
Stake No. 3 for two year old pacers did not fill. I am very
much pleased with the list of entries received for the Stan-
ford Stake, it being very nearly fifty per cent larger than
the highest number ever received, as will be seen from a
reference to the entries for previous years. The Stanford
Stake of 1897 received 17 entries, for 1898, 29 entries; for
1899, 54 entries; for 1900, 30 entries; for 1901, 50 entries;
for 1902, the present one, 72 entries. The largest number
heretofore received, 54 for 1899, was made so large only by
reason of the fact that Palo Alto entered 20 foals for that
event. You will note that the entries to the present Btake
come from all over the State and are mostly made by small
breeders, or are made up by a small number from each of -the
larger breeding farms.

The eta&e, while a very cheap one, should be a rich one in
1902, because of the large number of entries received and
the character of the entries which would indicate that the
entaies made would mostly all be paid op. The State Fair
of 1902 should be a great meeting for breeders and lovers of
blooded stock, for the reason that our first great stallion
stake will be run at that meeting with every present indica-
tion that it will be the largest running Btake ever contested
in the West.

The Occident Stake for that year has 94 entries, by all
means the largest in its hisory, while the Stanford Stake is
also, as above stated. These three stakes should make that
meeting a BenBational one. Verv respectfully,

P£TEft J. 8HIELDS.

California Horees at Cleveland.

Mr. H. K. Devereus, President of the Gentleman's Driv-
ing Club of Cleveland, Ohio, who owns several high class
horses bred in California, among them John A. McKerron
2:1:2}, sends us the following interesting letter under date of
May 24th :

Bear Sir — I take pleasure in enclosing to you check for
renewal of my subscription to your paper. It is a very
necessary adjunct to the reading matter of an Eastern man
interested in horees.

The Fasig-Tipton Sale is in full blast now though the
California horses have all passed before the auctioneer's box.
Mr. Covey is highly pleased with the result of sale of the
Palo Alto offerings. He averaged a higher pries for them
than any Bale he has yet had, something near $600 per head.
They were all in good order and attracted much attention
and favorable comment over the skillful handling of the
affairs, etc , of this famous establishment by Mr. Covey and
his assistants. Millard Sanders had a good sale also, and he
certainly produced the material. Princess Derby went a nice
half alone in 1:03 j, and many marked her price at least
$7500. She goes into & good man's hands and will certainly
be heard from later. Direct Nut Bhowed a quarter in 30£
seconds, but was not at himself. The trip East has rather
upset him temporarily. Klatawah and Anaconda are in fine
order and the latter looks like the real thing, to bs sure.

John A. McKerron has had another bad dose of catarrhal
fever which has necessitated his withdrawal from the stud,
and put him out of training temporarily. He is free from
tbe disease now, but will be put back a great deal in his
training. Prior to this be was, to use a slang expression,
"Hawkin's Horse." Valentine ib doiog splendidly, working
regularly and developing into a grand horse. He will prove
a great credit to Boodle. Yours truly,

Dlok Benson's Methods.

Resting Up for a Raoe.

Colusa's Program.

"While I waB in Dick Benson's stable at KaosaB City last
week," writes "Yarrum" in the Horae Review, "I succeeded
in inducing Dick to talk about his methods of caring for
horse's feet. No one ever saw Dick with a sore-footed horse
and when I inspected his racers and noticed that they all
stood on good shaped tough looking feet I asked him to ex-
plain how about it.

"Well," said Dick, "the secret of keeping a trotter's feet
in good condition is in knowing bow and when to use water
on them. Water is the life of a horse's foot when he has a
shoe nailed to it. Without it the foot will fever up and con-
tract, but like any other good thing, it is easily abused. Yoa
can boak a foot with water as uften as you like, but if you let
it dry off rapidly the result will be as harmful bb if you had
used no water at all. I use wet swabs on my horse's feet a
great deal — leave them on hours at a time — and the way I
prevent the foot from drying out too fast is to cover it with,
a ihin coat of Harold's hoof ointment while it is still wet.
This closes the pores in the horn and prevents the water in
the hoof evaporating too rapidly. Lots of times I see swabs
removed from a horse or see him taken out of a tub and tied
np in a draft on the floor while he is being done up, and I
know that that horse's feet are going to dry out bo rapidly
that they will be feverish the next morning. Any time you
Boak a horse's feet with water and then take him out in the
sun and let him stand where the wind can get at him, his
feet will commence to get hard and brittle, and the only way
to keep them right after using water ii to rub on a little hoof
ointment while the hoof is wet."

Dick showed me a mare that had been sick and the fever had
all settled in her feet, which had contracted to a considerable
degree just below the hair. Her hoofs were wrapped in wet
swabs and she had springs ia them. " This mare would ha*e
had laminitis if I had not kept her standing in a tub of cold
water for the larger part of five or six days day?. Sometimes
diseases of the kings or bowels will seem to quit those regions
and intrench themselves, as it were, in the feet. The feet
then contract and soon become ridgy and deformed, if strin-
gent measures are not taken to remedy the trouble. This
mare waB so weak that it was hard work to keep her in a
tub, but if I had neglected to do it she would have been
ruined. From now on 1 will use plenty of water, lots of
hoof ointment and keep springs in her feet, and I think I
will bring her out all right. I use hoof ointment as packing
in the bottoms of my horse's feet, but I think that Btufi wants
to be used very jadiciouply on the outside of the hoof. Too
much of it will do more harm than good."

Charley Alerting, the shoer who runs Benson's blacksmith
shop, showed me a very ingenious tool, of his own invention,
that he uses to get the level of u trotter's front feet. It is a
sort of a T-square with two short prongs turned down on the
long end. Tuese fit either side of the large tendon when
the foot is held up by the smith . The other end rests on the
heel of the foot, a sharp projection at the center of the cross
holds it in place and when the top of the T is held level
with the sole it is an easy matter to Bight across it and see
whether or not the ground surface of the foot is at right
angles w'th the leg. With this instrument it is an easy
matter to show that the feet of most all hones, that point
their toes out, are too high on the outside. I never picked
up the foot of a horse that pointed his toes out that did not
look to my eye to be high on the outside. Lots of them
look high at that point, when a compass will show that the
wall is the same depth at heel and toe on both sides of the
foot — measured from the coronet to the ground surface. I
asked Merling if he had noticed this, and he said yes, and
that in all such cases the little instrument he used showed
that the foot was really high on the outside, even though the
compass showed that the foot was level.

"In shoeing such a foot," said Merling, "I pay no atten-
tion to measurements, but lower the outside by degrees until
I get the ground surface at right angles with the leg and
then, oftentimes, the inside heel will measure the highest."
Here's a tip that owners of knee-baigem should not overlook.

-close next Monday.

Gurney Gue, whose trottiDg horse gossip in the New York
Sun is one of the features of that paper, recently printed
the following:

In a group of road riders who sat in the office chairs of an
nptown boarding stable talking horse yesterday morning the
man from Boston was lamontiog the muddy condition of the
speedway.

"I haven't given my horse any fast work for three days
now, he said. "He'll be all tied up when I ask him to brush
agaio,"

"Don't you believe it," put iD George Spear, the trainer
wbo won the $10,000 race at Detroit with Royal Baron last
year. "The horse will be alt the better for a rest. Why,
you must have sent him up and down that road half a dcz-n
times or more last Sunday. Then you gave it to him again
on Monday, and I saw him out there on Wednesday and
Thursday trying to beat everthing on the Speedway."

"I know," rfjiined the owner," but this horse needs a lot
of work to keep him right. He hasn't been getting enough
of it."

"What he needs is the kind of treatment I once gave a
gentleman's road horse out in Minneapolis," said Spear.
"This man came to me one day and said: 'George, I've
matched my horse for $500 against Mr. 8o and So's trotter
to race one month from to-day. I'm going away to be gone
about four weeks and I want you to take my horse out to the
track and train him for the race.'

f'I took the horse. He was Ihin and stale and looked and
acted as though he was tired of life; couldn't go a bit. I
took him home and turned him out in my back yard and let
the sun shine on him for just seven days before I ever put
the harness on his back. I used to call him up to the back
door every day and feed him all the soft stuff he would eat.
At the end of the week I hooked him up and took Mrs-
Spear out driving after supper, and that was the kind of
training he got for seven or eight days more. That horse
was never hooked to a sulky, was never on the track and
never started out of a jng unfit about a week before the race.
Then I just stepped him a quarter to see how he was getting
along under my kind of training. Say, he could fly, and he
wanted to do it, too.

"That was all I cared to know. When the time came for
his owner to return to town, I moved out to the track. Of
course he would have hollered murder if he had known
what I was doing with his horse, so I didn't say a word. On
the day of the race I warmed him up and turned him over
to the owner, and he drove him two heats that were faster by
three or four seconds than the horse had ever trotted before.
He won the match and won it easily. Now, if I had taken
that horse to the track and drilled him day after day as the
owner expected me to do, and supposed I was doing, why,
he couldn't have won to save his life. What the horse
wanted was rest. Thai's what a whole lot of 8peedway
horses want in my opinion. If we had more rainy dayB
there would be a good many more fast horses on the road."

Answers to Correspondents.

Educator — Inquiry was made through this office recently
as to whether the Btallion Educator by Director ever showed
any speed in his work. The inquiry was referred to T. E.
Keating, who gave the horse the only training he ever had,
and the following is hie reply :

Bbeedee and Sportsman — In answer to your icquiry
regarding the stallion Educator by Director 2:17 and owned
by Mr. M. Henry of Haywards, all I can Bay is that the
horse was sent up to me about the 15th of November, 1898,
to be worked. I found the horse in no condition for fast
work, consequently I did not call for speed until about the
fourth week when I commenced to give him eighths and
quarters, and in two weeks' time he showed a 2:20 gait very
handily. I considered this very good, as the horse was
Buffering with a bad cold which distressed him when going
fast. I advised his owner to take the horse home and give
the animal medical treatment which he required and not to
have him worked until the weather waB more favorable. I
have not seen the horse since. He had a very nice way o*
going, like all the Directors, and I think if g'ven a chance
he will take a place among the leading fast and well bred
BtallionB of California. T. E. Keating.

W. F. B , 8acramento — You spell the name of the horse
whose pedigree you want Qoiboul. We can find no such
horse in the American Trotting Register, nor in any of our
books. There is a horse called Oniboul, said to be a son of
Stamboul 2:07£outof Ouida by Jim Mot vena, son of Nutwood.
He has a record of 2:'22J made in Nevada, but the Year
Book, while giving him credit for the record, gives his dam
as untraced, probably owing to the fact that no pains haB
been taken by his breeder or owner to send them the neces-
Bary facts. This horse has raced in Nevada for several years
and took his record at Carson last September. In the Year
Book his name is spelled Oaibold, Ooiboul, Onibald and
several other ways. You should suggest to the owner that
he have his stallion's pedigree properly made out and
attested by the breeder if liviug or others who can verify it.

H. C. 8 — I have a 12 or 14 year old stallion that has been
rubbing his mane for several years. He seems to be in good
health and vigorous. His crest appears to be slightly fever-
ish. No indications of mange. I have tried a great many
remedies. Also had veterinary surgeon prescribe for him.
Nothing helps the trouble. I always feed plenty of grass
during the season. Will you advise through your paper
what to do for him.

Answer — Wash the parts and apply the following mixture
once, with friction :

Cresol - 2 ounces

Green Soap - 2 ounces
Alcohol - 1 ounce

This may ba repeated in ten or twelve days.

Tie the horse in such a way and place that he cannot well
rub the a0ected part. Give him more exercise and les3
stimulating food. A purgative given when beginning thia
treatment is of benefit. Report result of treatment at end
of one month.

E. P. H. — I ffish yon would give io your next issue what
will cure a horse that has the mange to all appearance I
am a subscriber to your p^per, and there is no one hero that
I know who understands what to do. I bought her a few
days agof but on heating her up she appears to be in misery,
and in the stall she is scratching herself all the time.

Answer — Wash with soap and warm water. Then apply
with friction the following mixture:

Iodide of Sulphur - 2 ounces

Sulphur sublimated - 1 pound

Linseed Oil - 1 pound

Repeat in one week.

R. G., Hawaii, H. I. — Would you be so kind as to give the
breeding of a horse by the name of Joe Stacey. He was
brought to these Islands some years ago from California ; he
is supposed to be by Joe Hooker.

Answer — Joe Stacey is a chestnut horse by Joe Hooker*
dam Lady Stacey by Wildidle, second dam Emma Barnes
by Norfolk, third dam Evadne by Winnebago, fourth dam
Maid of Athens by imp. Priam, fifth dam Lady Chesterfield
by Arab.

Major Dn Bois, of Colorado, has sold his gray gelding
Success 2:10$ by Superior to a gentleman in New York for
$7000. Superior's dam is given in the Year Book as "not
traced,'* but the Denver Field and Farm states that she is by
Magnet, a son of Magnolia 68, out of Mischief by Abdallah 15.

THE STANFORD STAKE FOR 1902, a complete
list of the entries for which appears in our columns to-
day, presents many interesting features. The entries, 72
in number, are more numerous than in any previous
year in the history of the stake, conclusive evidence that
greater interest is being taken in harness horse breeding
and training than ever. Another feature is the absence
of long lists of entries from Palo Alto and other of the
big stock farms. This fact alone will add greatly to the
popularity of the stake and induce the small breeder
with one entry to pay up until the day of the race as he
feels that his colt will not be compelled to trot against
the pick of a band of fifteen or twenty of the best that
the big farm can breed. Of the sires represented in the
list of entries McKinney 2:11} and his son Zombro 2:11
stand at the head, each being represented by five of
his produce. Chas. Derby 2:20 and L. W. Russel,
son of Stamboul and By By by Nutwood comes next
with four each. Diablo 2:09}, Oeo. Washington
2:16}, Lynmont 21.481, Nushagak 25,939, and Electus
20,522, are each represented with three, while Stam
B. 2:11}, Nutwood Wilkes 2:16}, Altamont 2:26},
Falrose 2:19 and Altivo 2:18} follow with two each.
Among other well known stallions represented are
Boodle 2:12}, Monterey 2:09}, Iran Alto 2:12}, James
Madison 2:17}, Welcome 2:10}, Meridian 2:12}. Knight
2:22}, Neernut 2:12}, Kentucky Baron (son of Baron
Wilkes) and many others. There is a brother to Neer-
etta 2:11} and a sister to Dr. Frasse 2.12} among the
entries. The heaviest nominator is Santa Rosa Stock
Farm with eight, followed by Palo Alto, Oakwood Park
and Walnut Grove Stock Farms with four each. No
other nominator has more than two entries, and there
are forty who have but one. It is the largest and
healthiest Stanford Stake that the State Agricultural
has closed. For the contest of 1897, there were seven-
teen entries; for 1898, twenty-nine entries; for 1899,
fifty-four entries— twenty of which were from the Palo
Alto ranch; for 1900, thirty entries, and for 1901, fifty
entries.

THE JUDGES' STAND should receive particular
attention this year from every District Board of
Directors, and an extra effort made to secure the best
talent possible to decide all speed contests. Delibera-
tion and good judgment will do much if a thorough
knowledge of the ruleB is not possessed, and the latter
qualification i> not to be found in every locality. We

venture the assertion that more errors are made, and
more injustice done by race judges who attempt to
decide questions on the instant than are made by reason
of ignorance or bias. It often happens that some hot-
headed person makes a protest or an objection to a heat,
a race, or driver, and the judges, in attempting to decide
the point instanter, are more liable to decide erroneously
than otherwise. Action is often taken on points which
should not be considered and which would not have
been had the judges taken a little time to think about it
One often hears a question decided by the judgeB which
should properly go to the Board of Directors or the
Board of Appeals, but some who occupy the position of
judge are imbued with the idea that they are "the whole
show" and it is hard to convince them of their error.
The District Boards will do much to advance the inter-
ests of racing this year if they will select cool-headed;
deliberate, honest men as far as it is possible to do

THE SALE of the horses purchased by Millard
Sanders of the Oakwood Park Stock Farm, which took
place at Cleveland last week, is a lesson to trainers
which should be studied and given consideration. A
gocd profit was made because Mr. Sanders developed the
horses and showed the Cleveland buyers what they could
do. The Palo Alto people did the same thing, and
other breeders could do as well if they would pursue the
same methods. Good, sound, green horses that can show
the speed will sell in the East at prices that will pay a
good profit on the cost of raising and developing them.
Horses that have raced and made a poor showing, will
not sell well, no matter how fast a quarter they can show
unless they possess the highest qualifications as roadsters.
The summaries in the Year Book are within the reach
of all buyers and they Rtudy them before bidding on a
horse that has been campaigned. There are few suckers
who go to the auction rings to purchase horses, but there
are lots of "Missourians," as they say over East, who
who must be shown the speed before they will buy.
The trainer who will get together in the fall a string of
sound, young, green horses, put intelligent and energetic
work on them until the spring sales in the East, adver.
tise them well and ship them East can make a good
profit if he haB the speed to show.

CALIFORNIA IS GOOD ENOUGH this year for
the owners and trainers of California horses, and but
few stables from this State will be Been on the Eastern
circuits. T. E. Keating and B. O. Van Bokkelen are
about the only trainers who have gone over the mount-
ains up to this time, and word reached this office yester-
day that Stice & Maben, who intended to invade the
Great Western Circuit with a string of good ones, have
changed their minds and will try for the money here in
California. The reason for this change is that the purses
are as large and as numerous in this State as they are
on the circuit named, consequently there is no sense in
going abroad for something that can be had right here
at home. The only reason there are not twice as many
trotters and pacers in training in California this year is
the tardiness which prevails all over the State in making
announcements. As it is there are sufficient horses to
fill nearly every race for which a purse will be offered,
but had the early closing stakes been announced by
February 1st, they would have received twice as many
entries. California can sustain as good a circuit as any
part of the country, and with a liltle more attention to
detail and more thorough acquaintance with the business
the district associations can make the annual meetings a
Bource of profit to themselves as well as to the horsemen
and the horse breeding business.

ONE OR TWO DECISIONS rendered by the Board
of Review of the N. T. A. at its May meeting in Chicago
would seem to indicate that some of the new provisions
of the turf code are almost impossible to enforce, as it
would be unjust to do so. Section 4 of rule 28, provides
that "a rider or driver shall not ride or drive a horse in
a race without personal knowledge as to the eligibility
of the horse to compete in such conteBt, and any rider or
driver who violates this section shall be subject to the
penalty which follows the horse." Congressman J W.
Bailey and other horsemen questioned the justice of thiB
rule when it was under discussion at the N. T. A. Con-
gress last winter. Mr. Bailey said it was calculated to
work hardships, as its terms are mandatory and appar-
ently required the turf court to expel any trainer who
innocently drove a horse that turned out to be a ringer.
George W. Archer answered that such a rule was made
necessary by the fact that nine out of ten men charged
with ringing set up the defence that they were not aware
of the identity of the horses they had driven. It is usually
impossible, he Baid, to obtain proof of their guilty
knowledge, and so it became necessary to require every
man to find out for himself before getting into the sulky
whether the horse he intended to drive was eligible to
compete. This view prevailed and the rule was adopted.
Its application by the Board of Review arose in the case
of the bay mare Susie Towns, driven by Capt. W. H.
Boyce of New York in the 2:40 race at Putnam, Conn.,
last fall. The mare turned out to be trotting under a
name not her own and she was suspended. Capt. Boyce
satisfied the Board that he supposed she was eligible to
•tart and the case against him was dismissed. A similar
decision was rendered in the case entitled the N. T. A.
vs. F. C. Thomas et al., the horse Jim Smith 2:22} alias
Tom Fullerton, having been expelled, while his driver
was not penalized.

THE FREE FOR ALL TROTS in California this
year should draw a good lot of entries, and any of the
following horses would have a chance to win: Klamath
2:07}, Dione 2:09}, Monterey 2:09}, Zombro 2:11, Stam
B. 2:11}, Addison 2:11}, Neretta 2:11}, Phoebe Childers
2:12, Miss Jessie 2:14, Dr. Frasse 2:12}, Iran Alto 2:12},
Prince Gift 2:12, Claudius 2:13}, and others. Toggles
will not be raced this year and with the horses named
above starting in a race there would be backers found
for every one of them.

OUR PICTURES to-day are of three Los Angeles
horses. Aster 2:12, the chestnut son of Dexter Prince,
is known to all California horsemen and is now used as
a road horse by his owner, Mr. C. A. WinBhip. La
Reina, the mare which P. W. Hodges is holding the
lines over in the picture, is a daughter of Redondo, son
of Stamboul. She is a pacer and fast. The five year
old mare in the group is one of Stice & Maben's string.
She is owned by Lu^ky Baldwin and is by Guy Wilkes
out of a mare by Sultan. She has worked a mile at the
pace in 2:14 and is one of the real good things of the year.

HORSE NEWS FROM LOS A.NGELES.

Stioe & Maben Will Remain In California and
Race Through the Circuit.

Los Angeles, May SO, 1900.

Editob Breedee and Sportsman: — They are commenc-
ing to move their horses a little faster now. Stice & Maben
are not going East. They have wisely concluded to race
on this Coast as the purses are as large here as they
are on the Great Western Circuit, where they intended
to go. Any person who has nominations to sell for the
•low classes on the Northern California Circuit, shonld
communicate with Stice & Maben, University, Cal., immedi-
ately. I think they have the best stable down herai
and all are good ones for their classes- They have
a fast green pacing mare by Guy Wilkes, dam by Saltan, and
a green trotter, full brother to her, who also worked miles in
2:18, last half in 1:06. They also have Wifhelmina 2:15},
who has worked here in 2:11, and Jessie C. 2:10} that has
been a mile this year in her record time, so tou see they
have some pretty good ones. There is a two year old
Zombro filly in their stable which is owned by M. M. Potter
of the Van Nuys Hotel. She has trotted a quarter 38 in
seconds, and acts like the real thing. I am satisfied she will
win a piece of the Occident Stake next year. Her name is
Zombretis. But bow about this two year old: He has
stepped a half in 1:15, and fast quarter in 36}, last eighth in
17} seconds. He also is entered in the Occident Stake and
acts like he had first mortgage on it. He is also sired by the
great Zombro, and his dam is Leonor 2:24, one of the great-
est broodmares of America.

The news has come heie from Santa Ana that Klamath
2:07}, is in training and will be raced on this Coast. It is
expected he will be ready for the State Fair. They Bay he
has already worked a quarter in 31 seconds.

Zombro has fully recovered from his severe case of dis-
temper and I think will do to race and I will probably start
him at Santa Rosa. He is quite thin in flesh but I expect to
have him looking fit when the races commence. I am sorry
they have not given more 2:11 classes instead of bo many
2:12 trots, bnt I will start him in the free for alls where they
are given,

It looks now as tbongh Santa Rosa is going to have one of
the best race meetings ever given in California and I expect
to see the town foil of strangers.- They certainly onght to
have a great meeting, as the track is one of the fastest in the
State and Santa Rosa is the nicest little city in the country.
Her people are the most genial and generous I ever met.
Every person who has never been to Santa Rosa should go
there during the meetiog and if they don't see something
worth the cost of going, I'll treat.

We have not yet decided when we will leave Los Angeles
for Santa Rosa, but probably between the 15th and 20th of
June. Yonrs, Geo. T. Beckers.

The Cleveland track will have more of the great trainers
and great horses than any other Grand Circuit ring in the
country.

THE AMBRIOAN DERBY.

What Oolt Oan Defeat Lieut. O-lbeon In the
Great Event.

With Washington Park's great classic— the American
Derby — but three weeks away the lovera of racing are trying
to figure ont the make-np of the field that will face the bar-
rier, and also to discover if possible a colt or filly that can
take the measure of the winner of the K eolncky Derby or
Clark Stakes at Looisville — Lieutenant Gibson. If the race
were to be run to-morrov.', no matter how the horses might
be sent to the post, it is more than probable that the great
son of G. W. Johnson and Sophia Hardy would be the favor-
ite, and that at a very short price, snd with good reasons, for
he won both the Louisville events for which he started "jest
gallopin'" there being nothiog behind him that could give
him even the Bemblance of a race. All that has been asked
of him Lieutenant Gibson has done, and done well, but it must
be admitted that he has yet the best of the Western colts to
meet, as well as the pick of the Eastern division— none of
which were amoDg the starters in the Kentucky Blue Ribbon
event.

Of the sixty-four original nominations to the Washington
Park race at least thirty-two m»y be set down as having no
possible chance to carry off the honorB, and this leaves the
following thirty-two still eligible :

Mesmerist, Missionary, Windemere, Yellowtail, Brigadier,
Gonfalon, Advance Guard, Wiihere, Hammock, Ten Candles,
Star Bright, Kilmarnock, Pupil, Goldone, Silver Garter, All
Gold, Mark Cheek, Waring, Sam Phillips, F. W. Brode,
Thrive, Barrack, Cobnel Roosevelt, Norford, Huodley,
8amartian, Reminder, Parmenian, Highland Lad, Kentucky
Farmer, Elfin Conig, Lieutenant Gibson.

How many of these will be found among the starters when
the bugle calls them to the post on Derby day, it is difficult
to say, though there is every indication that the field will be
one of the greatest, both as regards number and class, that
has ever been seen at Washington Park, and the race itself
a battle royal between the pick of the Eastern and Western
three year olds.

In the West thus far, Lieutenant Gibson's performances
have so far overshadowed those of his rivals, as to make him
look an ace among a lot of deuces, and the best that have
ehown outside of him in public are apparently Yellowtail,
whose easy win in the 8t. Louis Inaugural showed him to be
possessed of all of his old turn of speed; 8am Phillips, whose
iecond to Found at the same place the other day waB a
meritorious performance, and Advance Guard, whose per-
formance in California Bhowed him to be of a high class.
That Yellowtail is a arand colt has been demonstrated on
more than ooe occasioo, but there is a strong suspicion in
the minds of horsemen that the Derby route will be found
at least a inarler of a mile too long for him. The ugly dis-
position Bhown by F. W. Brode in hie races at Memphis
and Nashville and his penchant for sulking has placed him
outside of the calculations and left 8am Phillips as the
main reliance of the Schorr stable. Both John F. Shorr
and Tommy Burns are remarkable sweet on this fellow, and
declare without hesitancy that they believe him to be capable
of taking Lieutenant Gibson's measure.

Of the Baldwin entry, Norford, a son of Emperor of Nor-
folk and Miss Ford, but little is known. He is a good look-
ing colt, however, one that is bred ou Derby lines, and if
he can go the route may prove dangerous. Kentucky Farmer
and Highland Lad will both have to improve greatly over
their form as shown at Louisville to cut anv figure, as the
former seems to lack tbe necessary speed, while the letter is
apparently nothing but a sprinter of fair ability. Thrive is
a colt of only moderate class, while of Barrack, Reminder,
Hundley and Parmenian nothing whatever is known, though
their performances as two year olds would not indicate that
they were of Derby caliber.

Looking the field over carefully, it would appear as though
Lieutenant Gibson certainly held the Western colls safe, and
that it is to the East one must look to furnish a worthy rival
to the bearer of the purpie jacket and cap of the Chicago
board of trade man, and in the East several Derby candi-
dates have already shown such form as to make them look
like dangerous competitors.

Prominent among these are William C. Whitney's Kil-
marnock, winner of the Withers stake at Morris Park, in
which he defeated among others the supposedly invincible.
Mesmerist, A. Featherstone's good Albert colt; Missionary,
winner of the Pontico Handicap at the same place, when,
carrying 113 pounds, he ran the mile and a sixteenth over
the hill in 1:47}, and who was also runner-up to Ildrim in
tbe Belmont Stakes, and Phil J. Dwyer's Hammock, son of
Hanover, who, with stake weight up, is reported to have
worked a mile and three-eighths over the same track re-
cently in 2:201, while giving a "prep" for the Belmont Stakes
at the same distance, though he failed to run np to bis
form, as Bhown, in the race.

All three of these candidates are likely to be sent on for
the race, and one of them at least is a certainty, as Phil
Dwyer has already declared it to be his intention to Bend on
both Hammock, and bis stable companion, Withers, for the
big race, in charge of trainer Frank McCabe, while the
•bowing made by both Kilmarnock and Missionary is more

than likely to induce their owners to have a try for Derby
honors, both being sportsmen of tbe highest class.

The form Bhown thus far by Ten Candles would hardly
warrant his being considered as a serious issue, but he must
have ehown shrewd Biily Lakeland something, for that
trainer makes no secret of the fact that Ten Candles is 10 be
Bent West. Brigadier, on his form of last season, ranked
among the top notchers of the two year old division, he
being the runner up to Charconac in the Futurity. He is
the property of August Belmont, president of the Eastern
Jockey Club, who, according to reports that come from the
East, intends to have him given a special preparation for
the Washington Park event. The Belmont colors, which
have been famous in American turf history for many years,
have never yet been Been on a Western track, and their ap-
pearance st Chicago would create something of a sensation
among the racegoers.

Outside of those named above, there are other possible
starters, among tbem being Waring, a colt that has already
shown high class in the East; Star Bright, who worked over
the Louisville track before being shipped to Morris Park in
a way that delighted the heart of John E. Madden; Colonel
Roosevelt, the full brother to Pearl Song, for whom no route
last year was apparently too long; Pupit, and Goldone, both
of whom are in the stable of Green B- Mortis, who has
already placed one American Derby to bis credit, and now
has designs on another; 8armatian, a good colt last year, and
of whom great things are expected this, and others.

Given four starters each from the East and West, and there
is more than likely to be twice that number, and the race
will go down in turf annals as one of the greatest that Wash-
ington Park has ever known, which is Baying a great deal,
when the performances of Modesty, C. H. Todd, Emperor of
Norfolk, Spokane and Boundless are taken into consider-
ation.— Inter-Ocean.

THE STANFORD STAKE OP 1899.

RANOHO DEL PASO SALE.

The Yearlinae From California BriDg an Aver-
age of $6*23.35 Per Head.

Dr. Weldon, Owner of Elevator, Wins His
Case and Gets Second Money.

Oar readers will remember that in the Stanford Stake
trotted last rear at- the State Fair, there were two protests
filed by Dr. E. J. Weldon, owner of the mare Elevator,
which finished third id the race. Oae protest was against
Dr. Frasse's Sister, winner of the stake, on the gronnd that
Bhe wore hobbles in violation of the rales of 1899, the other
against the colt Direct Heir on the ground that payments on
him had not been properly made The judges allowed both
horses to start. Dr. Frasse's 8ister won, Direct Heir was
second, Elevator third, Lee Boy fourth, and Tia Juana
fifth. The Board of Review denied the protest made against
Dr. Frasse's Sister bat sustained the one against Direct Heir.
Dr. Weldon then pat in his claim for second money, hold-
ing that as Direct Heir was not properly in the race, second
money should go to Elevator. The Directors of the State
Agricultural Society refused the Doctor's claim, and asked
the Pacifie District Board of Appeals for a ruling on the
case. The State Agricultural Society held that Elevator
and all the horses except Direct Heir were distanced in the
first heat of the race and that fact was so announced, bat
that they were allowed to start in the following heats under
Section 4 of Bale 8 which reads as follows:

"In any heat which such protested horae shall win, the
Jadges shall waive the application of a distance as to all
other horses, except for 'fouls' defined in Bule 48 "

The State S iciety claimed that as the protest against
Dr. Frasse's Sister was denied this rule should not operate
and that the horses distanced should remain so.

Dr. Weldon held that Elevator was not distanced, and in"
trodaced as witnesses the Distance Judge and his assistant
who so testified. He also claimed that under the section
of rale 8 above quoted Elevator was entitled to the money
even though he did finish outside the flag.

The Board of Appeals gave the matter thorough considera-
tion and held that under the rule, and precedents established
by the Board of Beview, distance must be waived where a
protested horse wins a heat, and decided the case in favor of
Dr. Weldon. ThiB will give Elevator second mooey, Lee
Roy third money and Tia Juana fourth money.

By the conditions of the Stanford Stake, the winning horse
could cot get anything but first money even though he dis-
tanced the field, bat the idea suggested itself to the Board of
Appeals that in stakes where a horse was entitled to addi-
tional money for distancing a portion or all the contestants,
Section 4 of Bule 8 would work an injustice if, an in this in-
stance, the protest was not sustained. In other words, under
the rule as it now stands, a protest, even though it be not
sustained, can deprive an owner of his rights, and give to
others money which they would not otherwise be entitled to.
The Board therefore will suggest to the Committee on Rales
at the next Congress that Section 4 of Rule 8 be so amended
that distance shall be taken in every heat, and that it be
waived when a protested horse wios only in case the protest
be sustained.

Arrangements have been completed whereby the race
for tbe two year old division of the Kentucky Stock Farm
futurity will come off over tbe Terre Haute track at tbe
September meeting. This section of the parse is worth $2000
and 78 of the best two year olds in the country have been
entered.

The first of the thoroughbred yearling sales held in New
York for the season of 1900 was the consignment from the
Rancho del Paso of California.

From every viewpoint the salt was a Baccees, and if the

David Snell, the New England man who owns tbe
stallion Jape 2:07 + , when questioned as to why his horse was
not eotered in the Read vi He stallion parse, is reported to
have said that be regarded himself too old a man to drive in
euch a contest as the Beadville race promises to be, and he
long ago decided that no one bat himself would ever drive
Jupe in a race as loog as he owned him. According to the
same report, Mr. Snell also said that he might decide to on>r
to race Jupe against the winner of the Keadville event, If
all goes well with the horse up to that time, as he thinks he
is quite able to drive him in a race against one horse. If
Mr. Soell is correctly reported, it is possible that Jupe may
be a factor in the struggle for the stallion race record which
is in prospect for next fall.

Beolah, the great broodmare by Harold, died at the
Patcheo Wilkes Stock Farm, Kentucky, May 20tb. Bhe
was the dam of Beusetta 2:06j, E*rlv Bird 2:10, Ju-niU 2:29
and Judex 2:29J, and one of her daughters produced Hinaloa
2:26}. Beulab was foaled in 1881. Her dam, Sally B., was
by Lever, a sou of Lexington, and produced three with
standard records.

The American Trotting Association Bays that none of its

trotters at the American Horse Exchange, for $220, to be
used for road driving and matinee racing.

Monterey is a trotter or a pipe dream. One thing is certain
Monterey has as much speed as any horae living and if he
stays sound and meets with no accident he will yet have a
record below 2:07. Anyone who has ever seen him trot
knows that a two minute clip is not his limit and he has
been to the half in very close to one minate more than once.

A horseman who has been watching the work of the
Village Farm horses at Louisville says the crack green
trotter in Geers' stable is the four year old filly Betly Hamlin
by Mambrino King, out of Belle Hamlin 2:12| by Almont
Jr. This filly is a big, strong mare, and one on which Geers
banked strongly last fall. She was raced a Utile last season,
but took a record only of 2:31|,,which leaves her eligible to
start in any or all the big purses for the slow division of
trotters. In the Kentucky Futurity she waB driven only an
educational race, but she was separately timed in 2:16} in
one heat. She is gaited to go fast, and acts as thoueh she
would be as game as she is speedy. Another fast green one
is a brother to The Monk. He recently stepped a quarter in
33 seconds The Earl is developing speed rapidly at the
pace. He has been a mile in 2:21, last half in 1:06 and last
quarter in 32} seconds. The Abbot's fastest mile so far was
covered in 2:20, but the last quarter was covered in 31 sec-
onds, a 2:04 gait, which makes it look as though his admirers
were right when they predicted last fall that he would beat
the trotting record for geldiogs this year. Equity 2:21} by
Heir-at-Law is looked upon by those who have watched him
work as one of the best IhiDgs in the 2:12 class, and more
than one good judge predicts that he will finish the season
with a record near 2:06. Equity is the horse that made Nico
trot in 2:08} in 1898. He was not raced last year.

Bramble. The Featherstone pair, Mesmerist and Mission-
ary, were at 1 to 2 in the betting, with Ildrim a good second
choice and the others only nibbled at. Petruchio was first
off, bnt Maher took Mesmerist to the front at once. They
were strung out on the back stretch, running the quarter in
0:25 2-5, the three furlongs in 0:38, and the half in 0:512-5—
not very fast time. Mesmerist was leading as they passed
the stand, two lengths in front of Gulden, who was half a
length in front of standing. The next two furlongs were run
in 6:14 each. Then the pace began to quicken and Mesmer-
ist was about ready to give up.

Ab they were straightened out for home everybody was
driving down the big dip to the finish. O'Connor got to
work with a will on Missionary and the game Hanover colt
responded at once, and as they swung into the last furlong
he poked his nose in front of Ildrim. The trio of leaders
was right together a sixteenth from home and O'Connor
faltered in his driving for an instant. That instant was
fatal, for in the twinkling of an eye Ildrim and Petruchio
passed him, with the wire but a few jumps away. A fierce
tug at the reins, a sharp dig with a spur and Missionary
seemed to take new life. The crowd yelled itself hoarse,
and the trio swept past the judges heads apart, with the jet-
black Ildrim in front, Petruchio second and Missionary third.
Cheer upon cheer went up and the crowd frantically waved
hats and handkerchiefs at the victor. When the time, 2:21},
was hung out there was another yell, for the track record
had been broken, and, under the conditions, it was the best
race at the distance ever run in this country. The last mile
and a quarter was run in 2:08 1-5, the last five furlongs in
1:034, and the last half mile in 0:54.1 — fast time for such a
race.

The Belmont Stakes, one mile and three-eighths — Ildrim
126 (Turner) 7 to 2 and 4 to 5, won; Petruchio 123 (Spencer)
25 to 1 and 7 to 1, second; Missionary 126 (O'Connor) 1 to 2,
third. Time, 2:21}. Gulden, Hammock, Mesmerist and
Standing also ran.

The Brooklyn Handicap was won by Kinley Mack, at
odds of 7 to 1, and neither of the early favorites, Ethelbert
and Jean Beraud, was among the starters The track was
heavy, and rain fell heavily at intervals during the afternoon.
The race was a disappointment and not the battle between
high clasd horses that was expected. Nine horses went to
the post, and after but an instant of delay the starter caught
them all in motion. The red flag swished through the air
and they were off in a bunch in good order. Batten was
first to poke his nose out of the bunch as they came splashing
down through the stretch, all the jockeys making for what
looked to be drier spots in the track, and in the first furlong
there was a good bit of crowding, but nothing serious. They
passed the grand stand the first time with King Barleycorn,
Batten, Knight jf the Garter, Imp and Kinley Mack noses
apart, with Imp having a little the best of it, if anything,
although there was little to choose between them.

Bouading the lower turn there was much crowding, for
the curve is a sharp one, but none of the lot got jostled
enough to hurt him. First one and then another poked his
nose in front as tbey scurried around the turn, and when
they reached the half-mile pole and began to straighten out
for the run up the back stretch, King Barleycorn had a
length and a half the best of it, going well to the surprise of
almost everybody, as he is a sulky brute and rarely cares to
extend himself. Next came Kinley Mack, Imp. Knight of
the Garter and Survivor, beads apart, with the others so
closely bunched behind that not an inch of daylight could
be seen between them.

At this point it was anybody's race, for^the pace had been
slow and nooe had done any tiring work, except what was
due to the track. Up the back stretch they went, the speed
not quickened to amount to anything, and in a few seconds
they were at the three-quarters pole and ready to round the
npper turn. King Barleycorn began to drop back. As they
came to the upper turn McCue sent Kinley Mack to the front
and he soon had a neck the ben of the former leader, who
was a neck in front of Survivor, who made a wild bid for the
rich purse. Then came Imp, Rafaelo, Herbert and Wait
Not, heads apart, a length behind the three leaders.

There was a lot of shifting of positions among those behind
on the turn, and as they cut around into the homestretch,
with only a quarter of a mile to go, Mitchell drove Herbert
through the buoch and at once straightened out for the final
rush. Kinley Mack had a length the best of it and the
crowd began to shont for him. Jenkins on Raffaelo and
Mitchell on Herbert went to work with whip and spur.
Inch by inch tbey began to cut down the lead of the four-
year old.

Their hopes were raised as they drew up on the leader, but
McCue then let out a link in his reins and drew away «gain,
as if he had only been playing with them, and went past the
judges with a good bit up his sleeve, an easy winner by a
length from the favorite, Rafaelo, and was half a length in
front of the second choice, Herbert, only a head in front of
Survivor. The others were far back, badly bealen, Imp
staggering along far in the rear, tired to death in the heavy
going, in which she has never been able to show her speed.
The Brooklyn Handicap has always been a spectacular
race at some point, and the enthusiasm at the finish has

always before been great, This time, however, it was one of
the tamest races run in yaars. There was no sensational
features, and there were few shouts and little or no applause
at the end. The winner of the Brooklyn Handicap takes
$8000; second horse, $1500, and third horse, $500. Rebuh:

The Brooklyn Handicap, one mile and a quarter —
Kinley Mack 122 (McCue) 7 to 1 and 2 to 1 won, Raffaelo
112 (Jenkins) 5 to 2 and even Becond, Herbert 98 (Mitchell)
7 to 2 and 6 lo 5 third. Time 2:J0. Survivor, Wait Not,
Imp, Batten, King Barleycorn and Knight o( the Garter
also ran,

Kinley Mack is not exactly a California horse as some of
the local turf writers here claim. It is true be was begotten
in this State, Mr. Larabee, of Montana, sending Mb dam,
Songstress by Luke Blackburn, to California to be bred to
imp. Islington while that horse was at the breeding farm of
Mr. Robinson, of Tulare county.

The Mississippi Valley Stakes at one mile, $1500,
was won at St. Louis on Saturday last by MisB Mae Day in
1:40, the record time for the track. Miss Mae Day won
under a pull. 8he carried but 89 pounds, but could have
run faster if neceBsary. Loving Cup was eecond and Laure-
ate third. The winner is a three year old bv imp. Hermence,
b jn of Isonomy, dam Aala-Lala by imp. St. Blaise.

The Latonia Debey, expected to be a great race this
year, was a walkover for Lieutenant Gibson last Monday. Up
to noon the track was in good shape, but then there came a
heavy rainfall and spoiled all the chances of a contest in the
Derby. Hiram Scoggan scratched his entry, Highland Lad
and Florizir, and later Kentucky Farmer was withdrawn.
St. Ivor had beon scratched early in the day. This left but
one horse in the race, Lieutenant Gibson, and he galloped
the distance, a mile and a half, for the big end of the purse.
Gibson is thus far an unbeaten horse this year.

The Clover Stake, four and a half furlongs, for two
year old fillies, worth $1500 to the winner, was run at Graves-
end last Monday and won by 8weet Lavender, a daughter of
imp. Goldfinch and Lydia by imp. Billit. Sweet Lavender
was bred at Rancho del Paso.

The Flight Stakes, six furlongs, was run at Hawthorne
Monday last. Sam Fullen, by imp. Cavalier, out of Lena
Oliver by King Lear, waB the winner.

California Bred Horses.

Diamond Jubilee Wins the Derby.

Probably by this time Judge Murphy wishes "he hadn't
said it," as there is hardly a California horseman who has
not had a whack at him, and furnished evidence to refute
his assertion that good horses cannot be bred in this State.

The following, compiled Irom winning stallions, season of
1899, published by Goodwin Bros., of New York, shows the
moneys won by the produce of stallions bred or owned in
California. The total amount is close on one-hfth of all
moneys raced for in the United States in 1899 :

The greatest of all running events, the Derby, was won a^
Epsom last WedneEday by Diamond Jubilee, the Prince of
Wales' colt, a full brother to Persimmon, the horse that
captured the Derby for the Prince in 1896, being by St.
Simon out of Perdita II. Another son of St. Simon, Simon-
dale, the property of the Duke of Portland, was Becond, and
Tod Sloan piloted James R, Keene's Disguise II , a son of
Domino, into third place, a length separating the three
named horses.

After a couple of preliminary races, the second of which
was won by Doras, with Sloan op, the *way waB cleared for
the Derby. There were fourteen starters. The betttng was
6 to 4 against Diamond Jubilee, 100 to 6 against Simondale
and 8 to 1 against Disguise II.

Chevning made most of the running to the stretch, where
Disguise II. drew to the front, but gave way to Diamond
Jubilee, who, stalling off the challenge of Simondale, won
by half a length amidst deafening cheers. A length sepa-
rated the Becond and third horses. Bona RoBa was fourth.

For a moment, within fifty yards of the post Simoodale's
wonderful stride seemed to threaten the favorite's chances.
His head reached Diamond Jubilee's girth, but the latter's
splendid form enabled him to maintain a short length lead
until in the midst of mighty cheers, he passed the post a
winner. The crowd then went wild. Hats, flig3, sticks,
etc., fl^w in the air, while the Prince of Wales and Lord
William Ueresford pressed forward to lead the winner to the
inclosure. Then the little jockey, Jones, was taken to the
royal box and amid cheers from the crowd received the per-
sonal congratulations of the Princess,

Tod Sloan, the American jockey, was also much congratu-
lated on his excellent showing, and Mr. Keene expressed to
a representative of the press his satisfaction at winning a
place. Incidentally the American contingent were heavy
loBers on the day.

His victory is worth £7000 to the Prince of Wales.
Diamond Jubilee has won for him nearly £17,000 this season
and the horse has four greaL races ahead, tbree of them carry-
ing £10,000 each, in which he will meet some of the com-
petitors.

11 We shall have another try for it," said James R. Keene,
after Disguise II. came so near winning.

It is difficult to give anything like an estimate of the
amount of the wagers, but some of tbe sporting writers be-
lieve that £1,000,000 changed hands.

A new arrangement calculated to improve the class of
racing will be inaugurated by the Harlem management on
the opening of its track in June. In races attracting the
poorer horses, entrance fees of $10 and $20 will be charged,
according to the conditions of the races. This scheme, be-
sides reducing tbe fields to a minimum, and bringing out
entries only having a chance to win, will increase the value
of this Bort of purees, as the entrance money will be divided
proportionately between the placed horses. It is believed
that the svstem will receive the indorsement of both the
public and the horse owners. A stricter surveillance will be
kept this year over tbe use of badges issued to stable attaches.
A deposit will be required for each badge iBsned to stable
boys, rubbers, valets, etc., and this will insure the discon-
tinuance of all plans for cheating the gate.

Jockey Burns has been granted a license by the Jockey
Club, and is free to accept mounts on all the Eastern tracks
that race tinder its jurisdiction. Burns was suspended by
the California Jockey Club for insubordination, but allowed
to ride for bis employer J. F. Schorr. The Turf Congress
has recognized and enforced this ruling so far, but now that
the Eastern body has decided to ignore it, there may be a
clash between the two authorities growing out of tbe case.

Hawthorne will have an open betting ring this season.
The association probably saw that the cinch plan pursued
last season would eventually kill the game entirely.

Edward Corrigan sailed for England last Saturday with
his horses. Cash Sloan, who was reinstated a few days pre-
vius, and Jockey Mclntyre were on tbe same steamer.

J. J. Holtman, who used to assist Curly Brown when the
latter was starling horses, has been engaged to wield the flag
at Hawthorne. Arthur McKnight will be his assistant.

King's Highway must have had an unusually big dose
of speed elixir at Louisville on Wednesday. After he had
won a race he ran away two miles the reverse way of the
track before his jockey, Johnny WoodB, could get him under
control.

The stable of Vangant & Co. was ruled off the track at
the St. Louis Fair Grounds on May 20th, for the poor race
run by Myrtle Van in the second event. Tbe judges called
Jockey Springer into the stand and demanded an explanation.
Tbe boy stated that he had been instructed to give the mare
an easy ride. The judges at once suspended tbe entire stable,
trainer Wood and tne jockey.

WofcK on the program book for the coming meetiog at
Washington Park has been completed by Secretary Howard.
It assures the highest class racing that has been witnessed in
Chicago for years, the purses ranging in value from $500 to
$800, no amount smaller than the first named being given,
while $1000 is hung up for overweight handicaps, The in-
augural race of the meeting, which begins June 23d, is a
dash of one mile for three year olds and upward, to carry
weight for age, the purse being $800.

Minyon's third straight victory is worthy of comment, as
it develops that her owner, J. F. Newman, is one of the
most remarkable of turfmen in that he does not back his
horses and that he does not permit his employees to bet on
them. More than that he takes it as a personal affront if
any of his friends or acquaintances bet on his horses. Be is
one of the richest men in Texas, and is there engaged in
stock-raising. This is bis first year in the racing game, and
thus far all his animals have shown well. — Chicago News.

President Thos. H. Williams objected to the action of
the Board of Stewards of tbe Western Turf Association ia
ruling off Jockey Mike Hennessey for testifying that a con-
spiracy had existed between Willie Martin, Danny Lynch
and others to defraud tbe bookmakers and tbe public, and
appeared before that body last Monday on behalf of Hennes-
sey. The Board rescinded its action and restored the jockey
to the privileges of the track.

"While we were right, yet we expect
That ho was right to so object.
6o he Is right
And wo are right
And everything Is quite correct."

The American Turf Congress has reinstated Curie? Brown,
ruled off at Newport last fall for beating a newspaper reporter
in a shame'u! manner. Jocke? Cash Sloan has also been
reinstated. He was set down two years ago at Oakland for a
bad ride on Abuse.

Laws Proposed by the Game Convention.

The recent convention of sportsmen held in this city was
composed of representatives from all parts of [California, an
earnestness of purpose was demonstrated in the interest of
proposed fish and game legislation that will undoubtedly in-
fluence favorable action by the Legislature when the subject
is submitted in proper form. The proposed bill as accepted
by the convention, is now in the hands of a committee con-
sisting of Hon. J. W. Hughes of Sacramento, Chairman; A,
D. Jordan of San Diego, 8..C. St. John of Fresno, J. K. Orr
of Oakland, H. T. Payne of San Francisco, Dr. W. E. Cook
of Eureka and T. J. Sherwood of Marysville, which com-
mittee will shape the varions sections of the bill so that when
presented to the legislators it will be in legal form.

The proposed measure was prepared by a committee of
fifteen composed of J. T. Sherwood of Marysville, Chairman;
M. C Allen of San Francisco, Dr. A. M. Barker of San Jose,
Dr. W. £. Cook of Eureka, Prof. L. Loomis Academy of
Sciences, Col. Q. C. Edwards of Berkely, W. C. Kennedy of
Fresno, F. G. Sanborn of Santa Clara, E. C. Tallantof Santa
Barbara, E. E Maxwell of Sacramento, Dr. I. W. Hayes of
Grass Valley. W. H. Lyons of 8atter, Dr. W. Wood of Sac-
ramento, H. T. Payne of Sao Francisco and John H. Schu-
macher of Los Angeles.

A synopsis of the proposed legislation is as follows : Open
and close seasons for —

Ducks, quail, English of Wilson snipe, rail, curlew, ibis,
black or barnacle brant and plover — three consecntive
months between October 1st and March 1st which may be
designated by the Board of Supervisors. Should no designa-
tion be made in a county, the open season in that connty
shall be from November 1st to February 1st.

Doves and wild pigeons — Any five consecutive months
which a Board of Supervisors may designate between Jane
1st and January 1st. If no designation is made, the open
season 1b to be from August 1st to January 1st.

Grouse, partridge, sage hens and mountain quail — Sep-
tember 1st to November 1st, and sale prohibited.

Deer — Bucks may be shot during any two consecutive
months between July 1st and December 1st. If Supervisors
fail to designate, the season is to be July 15th to December
15th.. iNo one person is allowed to kill more than three deer
in a season. Killing of does and fawns and traffic in hides
prohibited.

Gray and tree squirrels may be killed from September 1st
to November 1st.

Mongolian pheasants, Eastern or bob white quail, Asiatic
or Chinese quail — Season closed indefinitely.

Protection is to be given to all song and insectiverouB
birds, except English sparrows, family geese, white fronted
geese, swan, sandhill crane, lark, blue jay, meadow lark,
linnets, eagle, hawk, crow, raven and blackbird.

Night shooting for ducks and also the use of animals of
any kind or animal blinds are prohibited.

Limit on bags — Ducks, quail, snipe, curlew or ibis, twenty-
five birds a day; rail, twenty birds a day; doves, forty birds
a day; black or sea brant, eight birds a day.

One-half of any fines imposed shall go into the State fund
for game protection, the other half it is proposed to pay over
to the informer.

Appointment of county game wardens by Boards of Super-
visors is to be made compulsory.

The fish law has been but slightly changed. The open
season for trout continues as before — April 1st to November
1st. Sale of trout under one pound weight is forbidden.
Steelheads may be caught in tide water only, during the close
season of trout in fresh water.

Marketing of game was attempted to be restrained, H. T.
Payne being chief opponent to the game dealer and market
hunter, this proposition was argued by Hon. C. M. Belshaw
of Antioch and Judge S. C. St. John of Fresno who advo-
cated the plea of equal rights as between sportsmen and
those who do not shoot. The anti-market faction was
snowed under by a vote of 33 to 8. Mr. Payne and several
other delegates were not supported in a proposed prohibition
of the Bale of valley quail. A provision has been incorpor-
ated in the section pertaining to limit on bags which it is
claimed will not hamper dealers in the sale of game nor
hotel and restaurant keepers in the possession of more than
the limit number in any one day, the possession of more than
the legal number is to be considered only prima facie evi-
dence of illegal killing, this distinction will, it is claimed,
require from a dealer nothing beyond proving that birds had
not been illegally killed.

A proposed law was also adopted which is to forbid trans-
portation companies from receiving more than the legal
number of specified game birds from one person in one day.
Under another section of the proposed law all peace
officers of the State are to be made ex officio game warden9,
penalties being prescribed for oon-enfoicement of the game
law by snch officers.

Trespass bv the hunter or angler hai been provided for by a
lection defining the method of posting forbidden ground,

At the Traps.

The Union Gun Club monthly blue rock shoot will be the
regular trap event for to-morrow at Ingleside. On Sunday
the 10;h inst. the Olympic Gun Clnb members will shoot
pigeons and the blue rocR section will be used by the San
Francisco Gun Club.

The Lincoln Gun Club have issued an attractive program
for June 17th. Seven races*are scheduled, the second match
being a twelve man team race for the Neustadter trophy.
Teams from the Empire, Lincoln, Union and San Francisco
Gun Clubs will probably enter. Team shooting contests are
always attractive. This particular race promises to be of
more than ordinary interest.

A challenge will be issued by the San Francisco Gun Club
to the Empire Gun Club for a series of three contests be-
tween twelve-man teams.

Blue rock shooting was on the card for the Olympic Gun
Club shooters and visiting sportsmen on the 20th inst. The
first regular event, the club medal match, shows an array of
very good scores, Nauman leading off with a straight in the
club race, and twenty-four in shooting up a back score. Rose
followed in the target breaking procession, making two
twenty-three records. In the diamond ring event three
scores of twenty-four each were made by W. J. Golcher,
Nauman and Haight. In this race Bert Golcher made an
excellent run of breaks considering that his trap shooting
experience is of a decidedly limited character. The special
prize handicap contest brought Merton Allen and Stanley
Scovern to the] front for first money, Nanman taking the
second portion of the purse donated by the club. A week
from to-morrow the club live bird meeting will take place at
Ingleside. The regular scores and other shooling records
appear in detail as follows :

San Francisco Gun Club members shot at pigeons on the
live bird section of the Ingleside shooting gronnds last San-
day. In looking over the scores it will be seen that the
average of shooting was most excellent. In the club medal
race, three straight scores by Sweeney, Wands and Murdock
were followed by eight eleven and four ten scores. Nanman
in shooting up a back score killed twelve straight. Sweeney
missed bnt two birds ont of thirty-sir he shot at daring the
day. Following the clnb race, sii-bird sweepstakes were in-
dulged in. Sweeney, Shaw and Williamson annexed the
parse in the first race. In the next pool Shaw and Sweeney
again won the money. In the third sweepstake six men
entered and all made straight scores, the purse was put in
the pool of the fourth race, and four shooters, BrunB, Haight,
Williamson and 8haw divided the double pool on straights.
In the last race of the day Brans was high gun and took
down the parse. The scores in the different races were as
follows:

The Empire G-an Club monthly practice shoot at Alameda
Junction was well attended by the clnb members and visit-
ing shooters on Sunday last. A series of ten, twenty and
twenty-five target races and also a sis-man team match kept
the one set of traps used busy daring the day; weather condi-
tions were perfect. A. J. Webb was high average man for the
day. The veteran W. A. Robertson showed np in fine form
and gave the boys an exhibition of excellent trap-Bhooting.
Some of the novices availed themselves of the opportunity to
profit by instruction and example nnder Mr. Robertson's
auspices. The scores made in different events appear below:

The Donohoe Trophy live bird handicap tournament on
Wednesday at the Association grounds, Ingleside, was fin-
ished by noon, far sooner than was anticipated. Twenty-nine
ont of fifty-one shooters originally entered faced the traps,
the management postponed the race for thirty minutes to
enable dilatory shooters to compete. At least fifteen shooters
who arrived too late were barred ont. this resulted in con-
siderable dissatisfaction, bnt as the afiair had been thoroughly
advertised to take place at nine A, m. and each entrant had
been properly notified, the late arrivals had bat themselves
to blame.

Referee Robertson announced time at 9:30 A. M., and
Scorer 8*_ovem called Oito Feudoer op to the thirty-one
yard alat, Feudner killed, using two barrels and kept Dp his
good work until the entire unbroken string of twenty -five
was scored by him. Geo. H. T. Jackson followed along
closely, losing his eighteenth bird, a towering incomer.which,
badly hit with both barrels, dropped out of bounds on the
roof of the shooting pavilion. W. H. Williamson was next
up with twenty-three birds, losing his last out of bounds.
R. B. Murdoch dropped out on his twenty-second bird, as
did P. J. Walsh. Several shooters with but one lost fol-
lowed np on the chance of Feudner missing a bird, which
would have possibly made several ties. Dr. 8. £. Knowles,
Merton Allen and Jos. J. Sweeney determined the handicap
position cf the shooters. Uoder the conditions of the race
when two birds were loBt the shooter dropped out, with privi-
lege of re-entry when all the other contestants had lost two
birds. After the trophy event a twelve bird pool was shot
with twelve men in at $5 entrance, high guns to win; the
purse was divided by Feudner, Schullz and Brun?. In a six
bird race following the winners were Klevesahl, Williamson,
Nauman at.d Bruns. In the fourth event, nine men were in
the pool, the winners of which were Bruns, Schullz,
"Wilson" and Nauman with five birds each. George Jack-
son made a straight score but was not in the pool. The

respectively.

The Marin County Game Protective Association was or-
gaoized on (he 28',h inst., the officers of which body are : W.
Barr, President; B. F. Studley, Vice-President; E. B. Mar-
tinelli, Prosecuting Attorney; W. £. Robertson, Secretary,
Ira Parks Treasurer.

The formation of the above organizttion will have the
effect of practically abolishing the Marin County Fish and
Game Protective Association, the new association being
limited io membership io actual residents of the county only.
A cause for this movement is alleged for the reason that a
majority of the members in the old organization were non-
residents of Marin county and negatived a number of meas-
ures presented for the protection of game, etc., by the local
members. These measure?, obnoxious to the visiting members
were brought up and urged it is said through the unsports-
manlike (and io some instances down right vandalism)
actions of visiting hunters and fishermen, uiany of them com-
ing from this city, we regret to state.

The Capszoni Club enjoyed one of their regular uuling
trips last Sunday at the favorite resort, Pilot Co^e, situated on
the ocean shore of Marin county on the north side of Point
Bonita This spot is a noted one tor fiibing when the tide
and weather conditions are right, from (ffihe rocks and
close to shore the party caugbt fiab, sea trout, pogiee, perch,
cap-- z oi, rock fish, etc., until they were tired of the ep rt —
the catch weighed about eighty pounds. After doing jusiice
to the dinner, an important feature of ibeee outings, pre-
pared by that master of camping cuisine, Dr. £. N. Short,
the company found employment and pleasure io initiating
Dr. Wm. J. Hawkins into the mysteries of the fraternity as
crdained by the Ntpiune ritual Phil Bekesri was mas-
ter of ceremonies George and Will McCord were con-
stituted yard m sler and freight agent respectively. A
shampoo with beach cand and Ball water wan the initial < ere-
mooy, which wound up with the "flngellibus." The can-
didal was spread-eagled over an immense boulder and the
fundamental principles of the order commuoicated by in-
duction, a flit board rising and falling to the cadences of the
club chorus. The Doctor is glad that he is still alive and
also anxious to help the next candidate on bis journey.
Those present were Phil B. Bekeart, George and William
McCord, Mell Vaughn, Tom Craig, Dr. E. N. Short, Billy
Arnold, £d Drake and Dr. W. J. Hawkins.

Smelt are running, many have been caught at Powell
Btreet wharf. At Sausalito, Tiburon, the railroad wharveB
and other places on the bay salt water fishermen have caught
large strings of this toothsome fish.

R'ck fish are caugbt in plentiful numbers these days. A
string weighing nearly one hundred pounds was caught by
one fisherman at Sausalito last week.

Fly-Casters Striving for Class Position.

On Saturday and Sunday laBt the first of the two re-entry
contests by members of the San Francisco Fly-Casting Club
toot place at the club casting stands situated on the western
shore of picturesque 8tow lake io Golden Gate Park. Th«
second re-entry contest is Bchedaled for June 9ih and 10th.
The claBseB are already determined with the exception of the
averages of H. F. Reed, who haB three re-entrieB for Satur-
day and two for 8unday in each event; W. E. Brooks will
cast one re-entry each in the accuracy and delicacy eventa
on Saturday. T. W, Brotherlon will score for two re-entrie9
in lure casting on Saturday. These scores must be made on
June 9th or 10th. The class contests will commence with
the eighth regular meeting June 23rd and 24th.

On Saturday the wind and cold somewhat interfered with
the fly-casters' work, notwithstanding it will be seen that
Lovett's work in lure casting shows a high order of excel-
lence for comparatively a novice in this style of rod
rxanipulaticg.

On Sunday the general average of the fly-flipping gentle-
men was kept up to an excellent degree. Golcber and
Lovett led in long distance. We notice the long distance
woife of Mr. Brooks is gradually becoming somewhat phe-
nomenal for a beginner. It is possible that Mr. Mansfield
will ere long have a splendid understudy to keep up the
reputaiioo of the clnb. F. E. Daverkosen, who has re-
newed his interest again this season in the sport, is comirg
to the front.

The scores for both days' fly-casting follow:

the angler, the fish caught have been of nice size and were
gamey to a degree. Boswell Kenniff. Dr. C. G. Levisoo, R.
Kcnniff and Mr. I'pham Jr., were a quartette of anglers
who fished in tbe right arm of the lake last Sunday. With
light tackle and No. 1 Wilson spoons tbe take was 126 trout
from seven Io thirteen inches long. The surface of the
wa'er was milled by the wind just enough to made ideal
fishing conditions in the morning, tbe rj-h taking the lore
with avidity- Bait fishermen frequently pulled out three
fish at a time, so ravenous were the trout. The fish in tl
water are now a deal more gamey than in the enrl
the season. Dr. Levieon Is becoming quite an ex

for a policeman or attacks the felonious one and holds him
until help arrives. Several of these canine constables have
proved their utility in many ways, in saving life from drown-
ing, and in defending policemen for assault on the part of
Belgian "hoodlums." The cost of keeping these dogs is in-
finitesimal compared with their utility. Their keep comes
to only 3 cents rer day. There are at present sixteen
trained dogs, which are maintained at a total cost of 1500f.
per annum, including veterinary and medical treatment.
Thanks to the advent of the dog the inhabitants of Ghent

The treatment of iuvalid dogs is of far greater importance
than many persons would suppose. In fact it is almost of as
much importance as the medicinal treatment of sick dogs,
for it very frequeatly happens that a dog which has recovered
from a severe attack of some particular ailment will lapse
into a worse state afterwards, and die simply for want of

addition most unusual in such anecdotes. It seems that the
old question whether animals can reason or not was under
discussion, and to prove that at least some of them can, the
following tale of a moogrel hound named Nick was told:
"For a long time Nick has had a grudge against a terrier
living next door One afternoon, Bitting on my rear porch,
I saw Nick come from the kitchen with a bone. He carried
it ostentatiously near the fence, in plain eight of the terrier,
who was watching him from the next yard, and began to
nibble it. Suddenly he stopped short, held op his head, as

many dogs, this comes on simply from neglect to give proper
tonic medicine. It is hard to realize how negligent some
people are, and what utter ignorance they show in treating
the ailments of dogs. It cannot be for want of sympathy,
because men as a rule are not hard hearted, and the man
who thinks it worth while to keep a dog, usually means well
toward the animal, and would do anything he conld for it
if he really thought it was in need. But p-cp'.e do not seem

if listening, and then dashed away toward the other side of to see that dogs need careful nursing after illness just as

the house, barking furiously and leaving the bone on the
ground. I imagined he had seen a cat or a tramp, and was
greatly surprised a moment later to notice him sneaking
back in the shadow of the porch. Meanwhile the terrier,
evidently thinking the coast was clear, had slipped through
a hole in the fence to steal the bone. He had no sooner
picked it up than Nick leaped from his ambuscade and cut
off his retreat. Then he proceeded to give the terrier a first-
class licking." This, the narrator claimed, was indubitable
evidence that Nick had thought out a fairly complicated
scheme to lure his enemy within reach — in other wordB, that
the dog can "reason." Bat a skeptical auditor asked : "Did
you go to the other side of the house and make sure that
Nick did not see a cat or a tramp?" The dog'B owner ad-
mitted with some confusion that he had neglected to investi-
gate this feature of the case, and was reduced to silence when

stops, too often with disastrous results.

Now we may say at onca that very many ailments of doge
depend more upon nnreing for their treatment than upon
medicine. Take for instance, the case of a dog with dia-'
temper — he may have three or four symptoms of distemper,
cough, kidney trouble, fits, diarr* aoea, skin complaint, or
what not. Well, it is impossible to treat a dog for all these
different symptoms at one aod the same time, and it will be
evident how very much depends upon the way in which the'
animal is nursed so as to maintain his strength to battle his
foes with.

We have lately been asked how Qreat Danes are trained

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

Prince's Lad (Prince Regent— Spinett), a prize winning
pointer, died recently at the Westminster Kennel Club,
Babylon, N. Y. He was bred and raised by George S Mott,
who had twice had an offer of $1000 for him, but had refused
to part with him. The dog's death was caused by a piece of
meat, which stuck in his throat and choked him.

An important meeting of committees representing the
various specialty clubs will be held in the office of the
Bbeedeb asd Spobtsmas on Monday evening June 4th at
8 o'clock. It ib possible that a plan of arrangements will
be consomated that will bring about a fall circuit of bench

different plans adopted by German trainers to teach the dog
his duties, but whichever is choseo it is indiBpeneible that he
is thoroughly taught to go "to heel" when called upon to do
so, and he must be bo perfect in that point that he obeys
even when in a state of much excitement. Having made
the dog quite staunch in that respect, in the one manner of
proceeding with his further education, the lay-figure of a
man is used, which is worked with ropes from behind a wall
Bomewhat in the manner of a marionette. The young dog is
induced to go for the dummy and pull it down, sufficient re-
sistance to his dciog bo being imparted to the figure by the
ropes from behind the wall, but if the dog attempts to worry
it he must at once be checked. When he has been induced
to limit himself to get a hold of the dummy's clothing at the
neck, the person holding the ropes allows the figure to go to
the ground, and the dog is taught to stand over it and growl
the moment it is made to move. By rewarding the dog
when he carries out the trainer's intention, or correcting
him more or less impressively, according to the pupil's tem-
perament, he Boon learns how far he may carry his hostility
toward the object of his attack.

The other method of training is better in every respect,
but as a rule more expensive, as one of the men employed
runs a certain amount of risk of being mauled by the dog,

Advices from K M. Dodge, manager of the Stockdale
Kennels at Bakerefield, are to the effect that two litters of
rerr promising pointers are getticg along nicely. These
youngsters are by Sam's Bow ont of Jingo's Bagpipe and
Cuba of Kenwood ont of Florida, The first litter was
whelped early in February and the others last March. The
poppies are for sale, the purchaser is expected to have them
properly trained and entered and ron in at least one field
trial. These yonng pointers will be of a good age for the
1902 Derby. Mr. Dodge has other and well broken ones
also for sale that will be of good age for the Derby next year.
A war of extermination has been carried on in the vicinity
of the Tevis ranch against hawks, crows, woodrats, etc. Wood*
rate are great destroyers of quail and quail eggs and should be
killed whenever opportunity offers. But few hawks are now

ing out more broods of young ones (ban have been seen in
that section for several years past. A nnmber of bevies of
half grown birds have frequently been seen on the ranch.

is avoidable, Instead of using a lay-figure the trainer's
assistant is clad in trousers and a tight fitting jacket made of
thick leather, with a piece of cloth at the back of the neck,
representing the coat collar. For better security he may
also wear a fencing mask.

The trainer, having met his assistsnt by appointment in a
field, sets the dog on to go for him. It is then the assistant's
task to prevent the dog making a frontal attack, but give to
him an opportunity and induce him to get hold of the piece
of cloth at the back of the jacket, and allow himself, after
tome resistance, to be pulled down. At the same time the
trainer must impart the lessons as regards standing over his
prostrate foe and against biting or worrying the man in the
same way as detailed in the case of a lay-figure. Of course
no man could stand against a dog properly trained in that
manner, but at the same time it will be easily understood
that one only half broken in and not under such thorough
command that he comes "to heel" the moment he is told, is
a most dangerous animal.

Kennel Registry.

The experiment of training dogs to act as and assist police-
men has been tried in the small but historic Belgian town of
Ghent with every success. M. Ernest Van WeBewail, Com-
missioner of Police for Ghent, is responsible for the intro-
duction of dogs as constables. For the first experiment Bel-
gian Collies of three kinds, long, short and rough hair, were
chosen, to which was added later a Picardy dog. The dogs
are trained to obey policemen in uniform only, and are after-
ward introduced to the residents. They are tangbt how to
swim and how to grasp objects in the water to save people
fr>m drowning, and to leap high obstacles. The duties of
the dog service commence at 10 at night and finish at 6 in
' le morning. The animals are held in leash by policemen
otil alt the residents are abed, when they are let loose, aod,
ich having its particular "beat,'1 patrols the streets noise-
sly and vigilantly. The dog wears a huge spiked collar,
i, that in event of it being attacked, it cannot be grasped by
ue throat. In the case of burglary the dog either dashes off

To an invalid dog, medicine often has to be given, and it is
most undesirable that there should be a struggle and a dis-
turbance, because it cannot result otherwise thaa in harm to
the patient. I he ideal method of giving medicines to dogs
is in the form of gelatine capsules, a methcd which has been
largely developed by Freeman's of City Road, Birmingham,
whose gelatine capsuled medicines for dogs have a world
wide renown. Almost anything is now made up in this form
and by means of it the most nauseous medicines can be given
with apparent ease. Liquid medicines are best given by
utilising the dog's lower lip as a sort of funnel, the animal's
head being held upwards, and his body being kept quite still
at the same time, of course. Liquid can be poured into this
funnel, and the dog will be obliged to swallow it. This is
very excellent, and far better than forcing the dog's month
wide open and trying to pour it down his throat; bat never-
theless it does not do away with the taste, and so it is not
desirable to give liquid medicines if they can be avoided, as
in most cases they can be. Pills, of course, need to be placed
at the Dies of the tongue, and they will swallow them much
more satisfactorily than they will powders which often are
bitter in taste, and cau = e a great deal of face pulling and
struggling.

Warmih is essential, and care must ba taken that dogs re-
covering from illness are not allowed to contract a chill,
which in their debilitated condition will most likely fly to
the lungs and set np pneumonia- Warmth and comfort
therefore are essential, and at the same time they ought not
to be kept in a close atmosphere, but are best housed in a
well ventilated stable or in some such place where the air is
even and they are both free from draughts and from excess
of heat.

The best general tonic for dogs recovering from illness is
East on' e Syrup, which can either be given in the fluid state
in a little water, or what is better, may be obtained in gela-
tine capsules of various strengths. Easton's 8yrup is a
compound of iron, quinine and strychnine, and as such needs
to be used very carefully, and bo it is safer to have it in
capsules which contain a definite koown quantity than to
risk the chances of giving too much when pouring the syrup
out of a bottle. A small dose given three times a day will
do more good than a large dose once daily, bscause it will
have the effect of keeping up its action better (a point which
applies equally well to most other medicines). Next to
Easton's 8yrup (a dose of which for a particular dog can be
ascertained on inquiry from any competent chemist), a good
general tonic for dogs consists in pilla.made of qainine with
a little ginger and sufficient extract of gentian aod powdered
gentian to form a suitable mass. These also should be

case may be. They answer capitally and brace np the
animal at once. As regards other medicine for invalid dogs
the only thing neceasary is to see that they have aperient
medicine if it is wanted, as it usually will be about once a
week or once a fortnight. Toe best aperient medicine for
invalid dogs is Cascara 8agrada, which is derived from a
species of buckthorn and very mild in its effects, and is
understood to act chiefly upon the liver. It may, however,
be occasionally necessary to dose for worms, but il is not wise
to give such strong medicines as are needed for that purpose
until the dog has quite recovered, aod so the best plan is to
give small doses of Cascara 5agrada or Jalap, or some simple
aperient as a means of keeping the worms in check until the
time comes that they can be dealt with vigorously by a eub-
btantial dose of proper vermifuge. — Fanciers' Review.

THE FARM.

Finishing Beef Cattle for Market.

Perhap3 oa general principles twelve t°
twenty-four months is long eoough to keep a
steer profitably. As the value of beef cattle
of the same quality varies considerably dur-
ing each year a well kept, fleshy, yearling
steer or heifer will yield a much larger
amount of m>ney to the owner at that age
than the same would months afterward, with
Us increased growth. Henca the advantage
of keeping stock >ll the tima in condition,
ready to take advantage of Ihese varying cir-
cumstances. This cajnot be done if we at-
tempt to follow ihe ancient custom of growing
before fatteaing and fiaisoing our cattle for
the market.

Rich and strong grain need not necessarily
be fei in quantities that would be detrimental
to later growth ahonld we decide to carry our
cattle bsyani the twj year limit, and at the
a iDQ9 tima enough can ba fed to have them
raaiy and dasirabla to the slaughterer and
perfectly satisfactory to the consumer. When
the maiket price and other circumstances de-
mand longer feadin^ careful and judicious
precautions in selecting stock will insure a
continued growth and improvement to repay
all the food and care we be3tow, although we
may safely calculate that less gain, as a rulei
will come as greater age is attained. But as
an offset to thiB loss, there is generally a
better demand and advanced price for the
more matured steer than there is for one of
less age and feeding

The final effort in fattening for the market
need or ought not to occupy a great length of
time. If the steer has bad such attention a?
to insure the proper and steady development
we are seeking and such condition of flesh has
been secured as to be in fair condition for the
butcher at any time, and an additional season
of fatteniog is desired, 100 to 150 days is long
enough. Give during this time, or as soon
during this period as we have brought our
cattle safely to the point, all the grain of any
kind that is available that they will consume
and alfalfa and other similar feed with the
grain. The beBt plan in my experience when
winter feeding is to place the grain in a suit-
able position and allow constant access to it.
This plan requires less labor and the food is
then partaken at such times as the appetite
demands it, in such quantity as nature indi-
cates. Minute details of any particular method
or fancy scheme of feediog I have purposely
avoided, for each breeder mu3t supply them
by intelligent attention. Everv animal dis-
posed of in a thin-fleshed condition is at a
loss to the producer, while by well managed
work in increasing growth and quality it
would insure a profit. Then there will be
more even distribution of fat and a great im-
provement in quality. — Willian T. Taylor in
Field and Farm.

A large number of farmers use what are
cailtd sweat pads on their horse collars be-
lieving them to be an actual necessity. When
asing Bweat pads the shoulders of horses be-
come more or Ie&B scalded when cocmencirg
to work in the Bpring. By discarding the
pads little or no trouble will be experienced
with scalded or sore shoulders. In the first
place the collar should fit perfectly and then
it should be kept clean and smooth. The
back of an old case knife makes a very coo
venient article for cleaning a collar. Spricg
is the time when meat care has to be exer-
cised to prevent the shoulders of horBes from
becoming sore. The collars should be fre-
quently raised and the sweat rubbed off by the
hand and at night it is a good plan to wash
the Bhoulders nnder the collar with cild
water. A cloth or spooge may be used for
this purpose; after which wipe the shculderB
partially dry. Pads have a tendency to keep
the shoulder of the borse tender, as well us
being uncomfortable. In nine cases out of
ten they do more harm than good.

Poultry Notes.

Incubators are especially not of equal tem-
perature in all parts of the tray when run in
a very cold room. Or when the chicks are
hatching the lamp end is sure to be the

hottest.

Allowing that position of eggs on tray is
systematically changed every day and that
the thermometer is daily placed so as to reg-
ister about the average temperature, 1 am
convinced that an incubator tbat is not equa-
ble in temperature within Bay thiee degrees,
is superior to one that is absolutely of equal
temperature in all parts of the tray.

Eggs under a hen get as mnch as 105 and
other eggs 100 and even less. But the hen is
constantly shifting them. Understand, not
simply turning them, but shifting them.

Sweet milk (or the chicks is almost unex-
celled for fipe, rapid growth.

But, use sense in giving it to them. After
a few days they will look for it as greedily as
they do for meat Allow them so much bb
they will drink in half an hour three times
daily and then only in glazed or bright tin
fountains. When the ha'f hour is up, emp'.v
the fountains, scour them carefully with boil-
ing water and place in sun.

Milk fed in open dishes to chicks is an
abomination. Likewise when kept before
them all day long. Given thos the result is a
foul smelling muss, both in the runs and in
the plumage of the chicks. Breeding filth,
sickness and death.

And thus the most perfect food for small
chicks is turned into a poison.

The people that cannot feed soft foods to
small chicks have never learned to feed or
raise chicks to the best advantage-
Very true, in a state of nature small chick
subsist on seeds, etc., what they can pick up.
How snon in a state of nature do they make a
plump broiler ? Or how soon do they lay
the first ess? Or how many eggs in a state
of nature do they lay ?

When you admit you cannot raise chickB
successfully except by the "dry" method you
admit you have failed to grasp the art of how
to feed chicks properly, which includes the
amount fed and cleanliness.

Feeding bread and milk, boiled oats, peas,
meat, etc , demands that little be fed at a
time. That it be fed often. That it be fed
perfectly sweet and wholesome and that all
be eaten up quickly and unsoi ed.

It is downright cruelty to animals to feed
early hatched chicks or chicks raised in con-
finement, no matter what the reason, on an
exclusively grain ration.

Dairy Notes.

The Western Creamery tells how they used
up their skim milk to good advantage at the
Bodega Creamery. As it is a bit of practical
experience we consider it worth more than
any amount of theory and giye it entire.
There were 400 hogs fattened in 1899 on the
":im milk. These were mainly bought from
the dairies within 20 miles when three months
to a year old, and at 50 to 120 pounds in
weight. When received they were put in the
lot and fed sparingly upon buttermilk for a
month; then given all the skim milk they
would drink, souring it by using two vats
alternately. The skim milk is thoroughly
stirred to mix whey and floating curd while
feeding. Give charcoal, aBhes and salt at all
times. When milk runs short middlings are
added. The gain is an average of 100 per
cent, in six to seven weeks. The hogs cost
an average of four cents, which are sold at an
average of 5J cents at creamery. The yard
waB divided into four pens, with gutters of
two inch wood to carry off refuse. The penB
are cleansed twice a week. Platform above
pens, on a slope, for hogs to lie on and get
benefit of sun. There is room for 18 in each
pen.

The pain on the hogs was sufficient to pay
$700 on borrowed capital, buy a Squeezer
churn and pav for a year's supply of wood,
leaving a considerable surplus. The value of
the Bkim milk was shown to be from five to six
cents a hundred. Special attention is given
the hogs, as they are regarded as the profit
makers, and the statement was made by the
treasurer of the company that the creamery
would not have been successful without them,
which was corroborated by the manager.

The Dairy Type Cow.

We hear much of ecrub cows and scrub
Block of other kinds and farmers are urged to
get rid of such with all possible speed, as
tbongb this were all that is necessary to im-
prove a herd But is it not a fact that scrub
cows result from scrubby treatment? If so
we need to improve our methods of handling
cows before we can expect to make much pro
gress in improving them. Whether a dairy-
man is a scrub or a pure bred will be told by
his herd. If he is a scrub be will give bis
cows scrubby treatment and i- bound to have,
Booner or latter, a herd of scrub cows, even
the ago every cow is registered and her pedi-
gree can be traced to f uodation stock. On
the other hand a thorough dairyman will
take scrub cows and in the course of a few
years will develop from these individuals and
their progeny a herd that will compare with
many composed of registered slock. Doing
the best with what we have will usually bring
satisfactory results.

Careful experiments show that the dairy
type] of cow yields on an average 6500
pounds of milk yearly, while the cow with
beef heredity and tendency yields 4500 pounds
under similar conditions, says the Farm 8tock
and Home. When milk brings a dollar a
hundred, as is now the case, the net income
from the butter from the dairy cow, whose
milk averages 4 per cent, fat, is $45, while
that from the cow of the beef type and whose
milk only averages 35 per cent, fat, is only
$27. The feeding value of the skim milk
giving 4 per cent, butter is worth one-seventh
more per pound than is the milk containing
35 per cent. Adding the actual value of the
Bkim milk of each cow to the net returns for
butter we get from the dairy cow $55 and
from the other $33. These figures are taken
from averages of a herd for a series of years
and under the most favorable conditions
Another very important result should be
noted in this connection, and that is that the
cows having a flesh-forming tendency remain
useful in the herd for only halt as loog as do
the dairy type cows, and that tbe former are
more apt to contract disease than is the spare

0)W.

The Weight of Milk.

Milk is a dsceptive article so far as weight
is concerned. In a herd of fifty cows samples
of milk can be taken from individual animals
that show interesting conditions when placed
upon tbe scales, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
The milk from one cow will weigh two pounds
to one and one-half quarts, while her nearest
neighbor produces milk which weighs two
pounds to one and one-half pints. It does
not seem to make much difference what the
breed is or how much milk theypnduce.
The milk is a little lighter in summf r than in
winter. It is hardly pofsible to find a d( zen
cows whose milk will we'gh alike, but when
mixed, if there are not too many in tbe lot
lhat give very heavy milk, it will weigh out
two pounds to a eood full quart every time.
Too family who buys from the man keeping
but one cow is liable to get quite a little more
or quite a little less of weight when buying a
quart than as though the quart was taken
from the mixed milk of a dczen cows.

Making Speed at Sacramento.

PAOIFIO BREEDERS FUTURITY.

Electioneers New 2:420 Trotter.

Nearly all the harness horses in training at Agricultural
Park, Sacramento, are making satisfactory progress. Local
interest in the sport seems to be constantly increasing, and
on work-out mornings the crowds of admiring and criticizing
rail birds grows steadily larger and more enthusiastic.

Everbody enjoys Beeiog A. W. Bruner's big pacer Stanton
Wilkes, by Nutwood Wilkes, work. He makes his fastest
miles in company with a running horse driven by Mr.
Bruner, and has been timed more than once in better than
2:17. On Friday morning he made the circuit in that time,
Bat, coming the last half in 1:10.

8am Hoy, the popular trainer from Winters, has perhaps
more really fast ones than any of his brother reinsmen up to
date. At least it looked so on Friday morning when he
drove Baby Button, by Alexander Button, ex the dam of
Kelly Briggs, a mile in 2:19; the McKinney trotter McNally
in 2:17, last half in 1:07£; his green pacer Yellow Jacket, by
Silver King in 2:20£, last half in 1:07-}, and last quarter in
0:31*j another green pacer, Demonio, a full brother to Diablo
a mile in 2:20£, last half in 1:08$. Most horsemen concede
that the above green ones, with Kelly Briggs 2:10$ as a
mainstay, constitute a dangerous string

The same morning P. W. Hodges of Los Angeles, showed
very plainly that he is neither without steeds of the very
first class, nor has been wasting his time with horses. Hazel
Kinney 2:12$, who had a slight distemper, has regained her
form and worked fast, and the green mare Atherine, by
Patron, showed a mile in 2:23, last half in 1:08$, and the
last quarter in. 0:32$. The bay filly Queen JR., by Redondo
covered a mile in 2:17, last half in 1:08. She was a little un.
steady, as became her tender age, but is doing better all the
time.

James Sullivan drove Monte Carlo by Monaco a last hal*
in 1:11.

. .William Ivey worked Rosa Lynn by Stam B. an easy mile
in 2:331, the last half in 1:14

Thomas Holmes drove Shannon by Waldstein in 2:29$
his third work-out.

H. 8. Hogoboom drove James Toubey's filly by Advertiser
in 2:33$, the last half in 1:15.

Albert Walden drove Alex by Dave Ryan in 2:26J, and
jogged the stallions Dave Ryan and Silver Bee at a comfort-
able pace, the latter appearing steady and strong enough to
warrant the confidence of his admirers.

Among amateur horsemen the approaching friendly con-
test between F. Ruhstaller, Jr 'a road horse, a pacer by Mon.
roe 8„ L. Upson's pscer Kinney, and Fred_ Kiesel'-S Dynamo
is exciting considerable interest. From the speed recently
showD by the prospective contestants, it seems a hard matter
to predict the winner. Ruhstaller thinks Upson had better
take his pump gun along, with a few extra charges of speed
to administer to Kinney between heats. Upson is confident
that Monroe S. lacks steam to repeat, while Kiesel says it is
just as easy as rejecting bogus cart wheels or bad grapes.

The local amateurs will celebrate the anniversary of the
Battle of Bunker Hill, Sunday, June 17th, by holding th'ie
trial of speed, also by settling the question between Messrs,
Bell and Wright as to who rules the Riverside speedway —
King Pio or Queen Pansy. As both these roadsters have
lately worked a mile in 2:20, a fast and exciting race may be
counted on.

The condition of the track, under the diligent care of
trackmaster McDonald, grows better and better and is favor-
ably commented on by all. — Record Union.

Three Year Old Trotters and Pacers Will
Race at Santa Rosa.

District Fair at San Jose.

The Pacific Breeders Futurity, which was opened by the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association for foals
of 1897, will furnish two very interesting contests at the
meeting of that association to be held at Santa Rosa this
year during the first week in July.

The stake originally had a guaranteed, value of $3000, of
which $750' *ent to the two year old trotters and $500 to the
two year old pacers last year. Both events came off at
Santa Rosa last year and aroused considerable interest at the
time. The two year old trotters who started were five m
number and the summary of the race shows that there was
not much of a contest as the McKinney filly, Eula Mc, won
in straight heats, the best lime being 2:28, and the other
four finishing in the same relative positions each time.. Ven-
dome by Iran Alto took second money, Boodle Boy by
Boodle was third, Dagma by McKinney was fourth, and
Tom Smith by McKinney fifth.

There were but three starters in the two year old pacing
division and N. L. B., a son of Diablo, won it in straight
heats, with Valita by Beau Brummel second and Waldstein
Jr. .by Waldstein third. The heats were in 2:21$ and 2:25$,
There are a number of colts and fillies that did not start in
this Btake as two year olds that are eligible to start this year
for the portion of the stake reserved for three year olds. For
the -trotters' the Btake \b $1000, divided into the usual four
moneys, and for the pacers $750 with the Bame divisioo^
The~final~payments on true stake will faTl due and be payable
on June 22d, ten days before the first day of the Santa Rosa
meeting. The payment on the trotters is $50 and on the
pacers $30. Every colt that is yet eligible to the stake and
that has been worked at all this year, should be paid up on,
as from what can be learned of the three year olds in train-
ing in California this year, there will not be a three year old
record broken in either event. The Santa Rosa track is in
perfect condition to trot or pace' colts over, and there is no
danger of scoring them up, or knocking them out. If an
owner has an eligible colt he desires to sell he cannot do
better than start him in one of the divisions of this stake as
a fair showing made in it, even though the colt does not win,
will add to Us value much more than the amount of the
starting fee. _

The Sale Ring Horse.

Alta Vela, the son of Electioneer, which took a record of
2:19 J in the O'Kane Cup race at the Decoration Day meet-
ing at the Oakland track, may be campaigned on the circuit.
His owner, Dr. G. W. Kleiser of this city, has placed him
1 in the hands of the well known trainer Peter Robertson, at
Alameda, and if he shows improvement will enter him at
| some of the District meetings. Alia Vela was bred at Palo
. Alto and is duly registered in Volume 511. of the A. T. R.t
his number being 22,449. He looks very much like the
stallion Eros, that was formerly owned by Mr. Frank H«
Burke of La Siesta Stock Farm, and sold East where he
! died. Alta Vela was sold at auction with a number of others
at Palo Alto Stock Farm, April 20, 1897, and waB purchased
; for $215 ,by the late J. L. White, who lost his life in the
I Baldwin Hotel fire. The catalogue issued for the Bale made
this statement about Alta Vela:

] He is a bay stallion, 15} hands, near fore foot and back o*

ankle white; foaled May 10, 1888, Brand G. 81. Bred at

Palo Alto. Sire Electioneer, dam Lorita 2:18$ by Pied-

' moot 2:17^, second dam Lady Lowell (dam of Ladyw6ll

\ 2:16* and Lorita 2:18$) by Schullz's 8t. Clair, third dam

' Laura (dam of Doc, Bire of Occident 2:l6|) untraced.

/ Alta Vela is a fine looking stallion, a typical Electioneer.

While in the hands of Mr. Thomas Murphy, formerly of

Petaluma, he showed a mile in 2:24}-. He is a rapid gaited

' line trotter. He has not been worked for speed since 1893,

and if now given a chance should make a fast horse. He

has been used in the stud at the Vina ranch during the year

1896, and the mares bred to him are with foal.

f His dam, Lorita 2: 18 $, was a very fast mare; haB stepped a

quarter in 30$ seconds. His grandam, Lady Lowell, pro-

ducecVa good race mare in Lady well 2:16 J, she in turn pro-

~3acing the good three year old of 1896, Lccal 2:19}. Alta

Vela is gaited very much like the great Arion 2:07f . This,

together with his speed and blood lines, should make him a

great sire."

Dr. Kleiser tells us that he is certain he could have driven
Alta Vela a mile in 2:16 or better the day he won the cup
race at Oakland, and many competent trainers have ex-
i pressed the opinion that he will be a 2:15 performer for
: Electioneer if properly handled and raced. He is a com*
' pactly built horse, an Electioneer all over, and has the
| sqnarest and best of gaits, requiring no boots.

It is the intention of the Directors of the Agricultural
Association to hold a fair this fall in which all the various
industries of the county are to be represented. For some
years past the fairs have consisted mainly of exhibitions of
horse racing. While this feature will be retained, all other
attractions will not be subordinated to it. The fair, as pro-
posed, will be a horticultural, agricultural and industrial
exhibition, with a daily speed program that will show the
best racers in the State. In a short time preparations for
the fair will begin in earnest. Properly conducted, as it
doubtless will be, it should be one of the most successful ever
held in this county.

There will be money enough to carry the fair through in
excellent shape. The appropriation from last season and
this one combined, as given by the State for agricultural
fairs, now amounts to $3000, and the association can start
with a clean bill, as there are no unsettled bills. This
amount, given for agricultural displays alone, and with what
is usually given for the concessions, Ib sufficiently large to
make premiums larger than usual and also afford an ample
■ advertising fund.

The horse races have always been self-sustaining and there-
fore are no drain on the treasury. Horsemen of the Coast
are always anxious to come to San Jose, as it has so many
features that attract them, in the way of fine tracks, good
restaurants and certain fine weather, the whole being very
acceptable. Dates have been claimed for almost all of the
usual places on the circuit with the exception of this city. —
San Jose Mercury.

Without making the posBtive assertion it may be said
thai probably no green four year old trotter ever before did
be month of May what Princess Derby did at Cleveland
week — that iB, trot a half in 1:03$. — Horse Review.

[Spirrt'of the West]
The question of the popular horse, of the type and kind
of horse most in demand has been so fully, ably and per*
sistently treated by turf journals during the past few months
that one might imagine the problem as a settled one. But
the constant agitation only brings to the surface some new
phase to be treated, and with all it is a question of such great
importance that it is ever interesting. We have read much
of the sale ring horse, and we have read about how to fit him
properly, but the present breeder is asking himself one more
question on that score and that is — who is to fit him ?
Whether the breeder or the dealer, and it is a question he
must answer himself. Of course, all breeders and especially
those who conduct the business on a large scale prefer to
dispose of their colls before they have arrived at a service,
able age or before they are old enough to be broken. This
is because there is less risk to carry and where good prices
are obtained the profits are much greater. But we are con-
fronted just now with a remarkable increase in the demand
for horses ready for service and a corresponding falling off
in demand for immature, unbroken animals. If this condi-
tion be a forewarning of the future, then we must prepare to
meet it. If the animal is not to be sold until ready for ser-
vice, it devolves upon Bomeone to fit and prepare him for
service. There will alwayB be plenty of dealers who are
ready and anxious to buy up comely youngsters and educate
them for the general market. There is now a good profit to
be seen in bo doing. For to be ready for market meanB
much besides being broken to drive. It means some especial
fitting for a special purpose. People talk of a general pur-
pose horse; that means a horse that could be fitted for either
of several different kinds of service, but the korse~well fitted
for any one service is most in demand and will command
better prices. The question now arises sa to who should pre-
pare these horses for market. We say whoever can do it
best. If the breeder is capable, has the means and necessary
advantages, coupled with a thorough knowledge of all of the
elements contained iu the proposition, which includes a
knowledge of the market and the class of horse he proposes
to develop, as well as. the animal's natural capabilities. A
breeder who can do this should fit- his own horses for the
market, and by so doing he will add to the profit on the
green horse the further profit a dealer would have realized
by educating and fitting him. If he cannot do all this, do it
well and to a good advantage, he had better sell them un-
developed or partially bo to some one who makes a business
of preparing horses for market. The breeder must answer
these propositions himself and himself be the judge of where

his advantage lies.

death is a great lose to Mr. Larrabee and to the Morgan

Good Price Paid for a Four in Hand.

Four green horses were sold in New York last week for
$4250. The horses were sold as a four-in-hand team. This
price would have been a record breaker even if the horses
sold were thoroughly broken to a foar-in-hand, and it cer-
tainly reflects great credit on the dealers to be able to bring
fonr practically untrained animals from the West into New
York market and get the price they did for them. The
buyer, who requested that his name should not be used,
hails from Westchester, and he considers that he has
secured a sensational four that will hold their own in a
show ring. The leaders are a pair of chestnut horses, 14$
hands high, that can trot as a pair at a 2:20 gait, and
show high all around. The wheelers are a pair of skewbald
and brown animals, 15 hands full, that have a record as a
pair at a 2:40 shot. As a four, Mr. Williams demonstrated
that they can pull a brake easily in three minutes, and that
the horses were all high and fast. — New York Telegraph,

The County Fair.

The county fair is one of the necessities of the American
agriculture belt. Of ancient origin it has pleased and in-
structed the people of many generations and to-day is in
many sections the most popular institution of the county.
The exhibition of fine bred stock and the proverbial "hoss
trot" have done as much to advance the interests of high
class stock as all that has ever been written od the subject.

To the uninformed it has served as an illustration of suc-
cesses. The desire to obtain and handle and breed better
stock is generated and we owe much to the lessons taught aE
the county fair. Breeders owe the fairs a debt of gratitude'
Long live the county fair.

Colorado Springs Race Meet.

Many California bred horses race on the Eastern tracks
every year, and while many Eastern bred animals compete
in the running events on our local courses during the winter
months it ie not often that a harness borse bred beyond the
Bocky Mountains is seen on the California summer circuit.
However, now that Slice & Maben of Lob Angeles have
decided to stay in California this season, visitors to the State
and district fairs will have an opportunity of seeing several
Eastern bred horses competing on our tracks against the Cali-
fornia trotters and pacers. These horses were taken to Los
Angeles last winter by Mr. A. F. Btice of Illinois, who after-
wards entered into partnership with Walter Maben, one of
our leading California trainers, and they expected to cam.
paign their string through the Great Western Circuit in the
Mississippi Valley. The splendid purses ofiered by the
associations on the California circuit led them to change
their minds, however, and they will remain in this State.
Among other good ones in their string is the pacing mare
Jessie C. 2:10J, whoBe picture appears on our title page this
week. As will be seen by the engraving Jessie C. is a stout
built mare with a decidedly pacing conformation. She is a
chestnut in color, and was foaled in 1891. Her sire is Alroy
5715, a boo of Almont 33, and her dam is Jessica by Kocket,

In 1898 Jessie C. started eleven times. She met such
pacers as Egozen 2:06£, Shade On 2:10, Miss Maymo 2:09^
and beat them and was second to Miss Logan 2:06^, at
Ottawa, in Blow time over a very heavy track. She won
seven races, was second twice, third once, and unplaced once,
which shows that she was a pretty consistent race mare. Id
1899 the Year Book credits her with but one start. This
was at Peoria, Illinois, in a race with Robert Wilkes 2:09|
Aelse 2:10 J, Jenny Mc 2:09, Tuty Wilkes 2:10J and others!
The positions of the first four were as above and the heatg
were in 2:ll£, 2:11| and 2:11J. Jessie C. went wrong and
did not start again during the season. She has been working
well at Los Angeles this spring and paced a mile better than
2:12 recently. When she meets such hones as Kelly Brigge
2:10J, Daedalion 2:11, Diawood 2:11, Arthur W. 2:11J and
other California pacers of the 2:11 class this year we will
have a chance, provided they are all in good condition, to
judge how an eastern winner in that class ranks with our
local horses when racing on local tracks.

The Colorado Springs race meet opened May 30th in the
presence of some 2500 people. Two harness and three run-
ning races made up the ca/d. The results were :

Sister Alice 2:10} was shipped to Louisville on Friday
where Ben Kennedy will fit her for the campaign.

Mr. Devereux worked Peko a mile in 2:26 on Friday*
which is the fastest any of Tanner's horses have been asked
to step this year.

One of W. O. Foote's new wrinkles is to put four ounce
weights on John Nolan 2:08 when that trotter jogs. He
says it will muscle up the son of Prodigal. When woiked
Nolan wears two ounce weights.

When Aijte came to Cleveland last spring he was very
carefully trained for fear that the old trouble in his legs
would return. It was not until July 17th that he was asked
to go in 2:30. In September he worked in 2:13. Thomas
has had the old champion a year now, and the gelding has
never taken a lame step, but on the other hand his lege have
grown stronger and cleaner. Last Friday Azote worked in
2:30. He will receive stiff er work this year and the chances
are that he will come nearer being the Azote of old.

Keating sat behind &naconda on Tuesday and stepped
him in 1:02, last eighth in 14.' seconds. The pacei by Direct
went a mile in 2:16.

Orrin Hickok arrival at the Cleveland track on Wednesday
from Lexiogton. He has two horses that he will prepare for
the races, the four year old filly Sarah Maddern by Aitell,
and the black pacing colt by Director, out of Mary Marshall
2:12$, The pacer was extensively entered without a name,
but he has recently been named Nathan Straus.

It has not paid and will not pay to ship undersized, unde-
veloped colts and fillies to a combination sale, however
fashionably pedigreed. There are only a few buyers now to
buy pedigrees, without a show that the speed inheritance has
been transmitted. Fillies and colts that can show the speed
will sell well, but the record of the four latest sales shows
that colts and fillies without the promise of speed or nnable
to show it, have sold below the cost of production.

John F. Madden, the noted Kentucky horseman, has com-
pleted negotiations by cable for the purchase of one of the
greatest thoronghbreds owned "by the Prince of Wales. The
horse is Sandringham, so named as special compliment to
the prowess he showed in a private trial. When two years
old he hit himself and went amiss so badly that Trainer
Marsh never succeeded in getting him to the post. He is
now four years old, and a typical representative of the most
successful breeding lines in England. He is full brother to
Persimmon and Diamond Jubilee, two noted Derby winners,
all three being by 8t. .Simon — Perdita II.

Madden will place his latest acquisition at the head of bis
Hamburg Place nursery, and if blood counts for anything
the investment should rank among the best of the many deals
in choice horseflesh which have made the name of Madden
famous. The price ai which Bandriogham changes hands
remains a secret, but the horsemen think he would be a bar-
gain at $50,000. _

Fair at Salinas.

The Range Horse Disappearing.

While the position of a well bred horse as a profitable an-
imal to grow is becoming every year more assured, the great
herds of range horses on the plains of Washington, Idaho
and Montana are undoubtedly disappearing. During the last
two years, 75,000 head of these horses have been removed
from the ranges of eastern Washington alone. The approx-
imate disposition of them has been 20,000 sent to Chicago
and other Eastern markets, S000 sent to Alaska during the
Klondike rush, 9000 canned as horse meat at Linnton, Ore-
gon, for shipment to France, about 10,000 broken for use by
new settlers in Washington and about 8000 died from winter
exposure during the past two winters. The Iosb is double the
natural increase and reduces the wild horses in Washington
from 120,000 to about 80,000. The horses are being confined
to a smaller area each year, thereby increasing their chances
of detruction and at least 5000 died of starvation in a single
winter along the SnaBe river. Of some bands from fifty to
eighty per cent, disappeared because of short grass and deep
snow. The range horses of Washington are now oonfined
almost entirely to a few thirly populated counties. They
are worth from $3 to $20 a head. In June of last year 5000
were sold for shipment East at prices ranging from $2.50 to
$6 a head, accordiog to size. It is expected that considerably
increased numbers will be canned in the near future. The
Linnton factory is expected to operate more largely and a
new horse canning factory has been established at MeJra.
North Dakota.

Secretary Horace Wilson is quoted as saying that
the two year olds in training at Lexington this season are the
highest class lot of youngsters he has ever seen at the track.

The Monterey County Agricultural Association, District
No. 7, held its annual meeting last Wednesday morning.
Hon. Jesse D. Carr was elected President, J. B. Iverson
Vice-President and J. J. Kelly Secretary. A fair and race
meeting will be held during the week following the meet at
San Jose. There will be liberal speed and other premiums.
This will give Salioas the six days beginning October 15th
and ending October 20th. A good race program is always
given there, and no small district in the State holds a better
fair. The Salinas track is a full mile and a good one. Due
announcement of the purses will be made in these columns.

SANTA EOS A is now the Mecca of all the harness
horse trainers who will race at the great meeting of the
Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association which
opens there on July 2d and continues during the rest of
that week. Entries for the many excellent purses
offered will close with Sscretary Kelley at 36 Geary
street, San FraDcisco, on Friday next, June 15th, and it
is earnestly hoped in the interest of the future of har-
ness horse breeding and racing in California that the
entry list will be a very large one. That the slow classes
at both gaits will receive a good list of entries is almost
certain and horsemen who own animals with fast records
that are in training will be wise if tbey name them in the
11000 purses offered. The 2:12 and the free for all trots
and the 2:10 and free for all 'pacing events should fill.
Who is there among the "talent" that could guess with
any certainty the winner in a free for all trot where
Klamath 2:071, Dions 2:09}, Monterey 2:09}, Zombro
2:11, Stam B. 2:11}, Addison 2:11}, Neeretta 2:11$,
Phoebe Childers 2:12, Prince Gift 2:12, Iran Alto 2:12}
and Dr. Frasse 2: 12 J, were_the starters? There are
many who think they could, but they differ so in opinion
that the batting would be good if thsy all had money.
Klamath on his showing two years ago would not be able
to trot three heats fast enough to win. Dione is not as
fast as she was when Keating had her; Monterey is so
uncertain that he did not attract the big eastern buyers;
Zombro and Stam B. have not beeu raced for a year or
so and are therefore uncertain quantities; Neeretta has a
splint; Addison may reach his record and all tbe others
have a chance to equal or reduce theirs a little, but tbe
horse that can trot in 2:12 three times has not yet
shown up on any of the California training tracks The
free for all pace is just as uncertain a proposition as the
free for all trot. Much Better 2:07} is in the broodmare
ranks, Joe Wheeler 2:07$ is in training, but has not
scared anyone with his speed this year. Rex Alto has
not bsen heard from this season, Jenny Mc 2:09 has been
bred, Waldo J. 2:09 is running out on pasture, Little
Thorne 2:09}, and Clipper 2:09}, are both for sale and
may not be raced at all, while Kelly Briggs 2:10$,
Myrtha Whips 2:10}, Daedalion 2:11, Arthur W. 2:11$,
Wild Nutling 2:13, John A. 2:14 and a lot more are able
to give all the 2:10 pacers left in Caltfornia a race that
will make them feel as though they had engaged in a

BARRING PREVIOUS WINNERS from the show
ring at district and State Fairs is a very reprehensible
practice and one that should never be indulged in by
any association that pretends to be encouraging improve-
ments in the breeds. The show ring, if anything, is an
educator, and the blue ribbon should be awarded to the
best in each class, no matter how many years in succes-
sion animals may be exhibited. If there is a representa-
tive of any breed that bo far outclasses all others that
breeders will not enter against it, let them stay out and
make that animal a feature of the exhibition that the
public may see what sort of creature a champion looks
like. Provide for the others if necessary by making ad-
ditional classes in which previous winners are barred,
but in the open classes, where the best is entitled to the
blue ribbon or gold medal, or first prize, bar nothing.
In this connection the Chicago Breeders Gazette makes
a very pointed illustration. After referring to the fact
that recently buyers have been scouring the country in
an endeavor to find [a road horse that could beat Cob-
webs 2:12 on the speedway, and that $25,000 was offered
for The Abbott by Lemuel Hitchcock, of Boston, for no
other purpose, which was refused, the Gazette says:
"Now suppose for the nonce that the Speedway Com-
missioners Bhonld pass a rule barring Cobwebs from the
drive on the ground that he has won so often he ought
not to win any more. Just as quickly as that order was
entered, every one of the commissions in dealers hands
for crack road horses would be withdrawn, for the reason
that there would no longer be any incentive to get the
best. The horses already on hand could then fight out
the battle for supremacy; there would be nothing to
measure by, and the chance of one would be as good as
the chance of another. The actual loss to the breeders
would total away up in the thousands, and the very
cream, the highest rewards now to be bad, would be
spilled out and destroyed as if by niapie. Just, however,
bo long as Cobwebs remains the king of the speedway
there will be the demand described for something to bea'
him, and when he fails, even though it be like Lucifer,
never to rise again, there will another arise in his place
to be knocked down if possible in the same good old
way. As it is with the trotting roadsters so it is with
show horses. So long as there is a standard to measure
by, in tbe known excellence in make, shape, gait and
style of certain horses, there will be an active demand
for high-priced horses which promises rewards rich
enough to make every public and private dealer buy
everything green or developed .that holds out even re-
mote promise of filling the bill."

GOLDEN GATE DISTRICT Agricultural Associa-
tion will hold its annual fair and race meeting this year,
and has selected the week following the Stockton Fair.
At a meeting of tbe Board of Directors held last
Wednesday evening, it was determined that the usual
premiums be given for live stock of all kinds and an
effort made to secure the exhibit of representative herds
from the leading stock farms in the State. The meeting
will open on Saturday, September 22d, and close the
following Saturday, September 29th. The race program
has not been fully determined as yet, but there will in
all probability be two or more harness races and four
running races each day. The purses for trotters will be
$500 for each of the following classes : 2:40, 2:25, 2:19
and 2:15, with $600>r the 2:11 class and 1300 for three
year olds of the 2:30 class. For pacers, $500 will be
hung up for those of the green class and 2:25, 2:18 and
2:14 classes, $600 for the 2:11 classes, and for three year
olds of the 2:25 class, $300. In addition to these regular
events there will be two good purses offered for members
of the Golden Gate Park Driving Association. There
will be four running events each day for which good
purses will be given, entrance to be made overnight.
Entrance to the harness races will close Saturday, June
30th, and the fee will be five per cent. In next week's
issue of the Bbeedeb and Sportsman the advertise-
ment of the Golden Gate Association's meeting will
appear, and will contain all the particulars of purses,
conditions, etc. The popular Secretary, Jos. I. Dimond,
still retains that position, and the meeting will be held
as usual at the California Jockey Ciub's elegant track
across the bay. The Golden Gate District Association
has always given first class fairs and race meetings, and
the present live Board of Directors is determined that
the meeting of 1900 will not suffer by comparison with
any heretofore held since the district was organized.

JAPAN is seeking American and European cattle to
introduce among native herds and improve the general
Btock on the islands. Four Japanese Government
officials specially commissioned to select and purchase
Buch fine Btock as seemed desirable arrived in San Fran-
cisco last Tuesday on the Hongkong Maru and regis-
tered at the Occidental Hotel. The names of these
agents of Japan's Agricultural Department are N.
Kunagi, F. Wada, Kenkichi Tange and Fajima Matoda.
It is their intention to look over California cattle a little
before continuing their journey to the Eastern States
and larger cattle centres. From America they will go
to Europe. They will spare neither time nor money in
getting the best grades of breeding stock known. There
is no reason why, in the near future, California should
not supply not only Japan but all the countries of the
Orient and the Islands of the Pacific with pedigreed
stocks of all kinds. With the advance of civilization
in Asia an immense market will open to the American
breeders of fine stock as there will be a demand there
for the best beef and milk breeds of cattle, the wool
and mutton breeds of sheep and draft and carriage
horses. California breeders can produce all these cheaper
and to better advantage than any pcrtion of America
and the farmers who have been raising wheat at a loss
in recent years should turn their attention to stock rais-
ing. The signs of the times point to California as the
future leading stock breeding State of the Union. The
organization of the San Mateo and San Francisco Agri-
cultural Association, which will give annually near this
city a great cattle and horse show, will do much eventu-
ally to attract stock buyers from Asia and the Pacific
Islands. California breeders should make an effort to
breed what these people will want.

NAPA'S MEETING, judging from the way some of
the races have filled and the fact that a number of addi-
tional purses has been opened, will be one of the best
ever held in Central California The 2:40 class trot
closed with 16 entries, and the race for pacers without
records has 15. There are eleven entries each in the
2:30 and 2:19 trot and the 2:25 pacing events. The
additional purses offered are $600 for 2:17 trotters, $800
for a free for all trot and $800 for a free for all pace.
The two last mentioned purses should prove the best
races of the meeting and though the entries may not be
numerous the association will close them and close and
exciting contests between the best and fastest harness
horses in California should result. There is no horse in
training in California at the present time, either trotter
or pacer, that has a mortgage on either of these races,
no matter how fast his record, and there are a half dozen
or more at both gaits that have a good chance to win.
The running feature of the Napa program should
attract a big field of thoroughbreds. The purses will be
liberal and in the majority entrance will be free. In
cases where entrance is charged it will be added to the
purse. The Napa track has been ploughed up and is
being worked every day. It is now in first class condi-
tion for the runners, and when the meeting opens will
be fast and safe for the harness brigade. Considerable
work is being done on the staJls and buildings, so that
the grounds will present a neat appearance when the
bell rings for the first race. Entries for the new purses
which have been opened will close June 20th. See
advertisement in this issue.

THE AMERICAN CONSUL writes from Basel,
Switzerland, under date of April 10, 1900, as follows:
"For several years past, American driving and saddle
horses have been imported in large numbers into Switzer-
land. This spring the business seems to be assuming
unusual activity, and one shipment of seventy-two
American animals has already arrived in Basel. These
are offered to the public exclusively as draft and
cart horses. The Swiss importer obtains from
them about 1400 francs ($270) each, and up to this
time they appear to have given satisfaction. They are
bought up all the more eagerly,- since it is thought that
further opportunities for such purchases may not be fre-
quent in the near future. It is reported here that the
demand for American horses for South Africa has
occasioned a scarcity which may render exportation to
Europe impracticable for the present."

DURING the fiscal year of 1899 the United States
imported 199,752 cattle, valued at $2,320,363. and 3042
horses valued at $551,050. During the same year it ex-
ported 398,490 cattle, valued at $30,516,838, and 45,778
horses, valued at $5,444,342.

MANY GOOD HORSES have been bred in Cali-
fornia by Mr. J. B. Haggin. We believe he is the only
man who ever bred two horses with records of 2:04 or
better — Flying Jib 2:04 and Anaconda 2:03}. The
horses bred at Mr. Haggin's Kern county ranch have
long been recognized as among the best brought to this
market for size, style, conformation, etc. The well
known firm of Chase & Mendenhall will sell at auction
on Thursday next fifty head of horBes from this cele-
brated farm, all broke to halter, but otherwise unbroken.
These horses are all out of well bred mares, are of good
size, the best of legs and feet and are sound and all right.
They are trotting bred, being by such Bires as Alaska, a
standard and registered son of Electioneer, Del Paso
11,807, by Algona out of a Nutwood mare; Bismarck
19,240, son of McCracken's David Hill; Exile, a son of
E?ho and Belle Mason by Williamson's Belmont, and
Western, a full brother to Whippleton. Mr. Haggin's
stallions used on the Kern county ranch were selected
for their size, good looks and sound limbs, and their
produce in this consignment show that they have re-
produced those qualities. This is an opportunity not
often offered to get good horaes at your own price. The
cost of breaking such horses is email, and a purchaser
stands a better chance of getting a good roadster than at
a sale of those that have been tried and found wanting.
The sale is next Thursday. See the advertisement in
this paper. ^^^^^^_^^^_^^

THE STARTING QUESTION is one that will prob-
ably be discussed up to the time "when the wicked cease
from troubling and the weary are at rest," and every
year it will get new ideas from persons who are in
earnest in an effort to make some improvement in the
present systems of getting horses away from the score-
The latest plan is offered by a writer in the Horseman'
who,;however, suggests that it be applied only to matinee
starting. He would place a man at the head of each
horse who would keep his horse in line with the others
and walk them all into position. At a tap of a drum by
the assistant starter, each man is to let go of the horBe
he is leading and the drivers are to score down for the
word. Tnen a rule is made which reads like this: "Any
horse or horses coming to the wire ahead of the pole
horse in a score in which the starting judge gives 'the
word for a start, shall be placed last in the summary cf
the heat, regardless of his or their position at the finish."
This is the new idea in a nutshell. How would it work
in your opinion ?

A MEETING of owners of range horses in Montana
was held at Great Falls the other day and an association
was formed to prosecute the work of rounding np all
horses owned by them. This has not been done in ten
yearB and several thousand head are expected to be
gathered. They are worth nominally about $3 a head
and if they are railroaded off to market the freight will
chew them up. The roundup is already on. There
will be at least twelve riders all the time and each
owner may send additional men to work his own range.
Every horse will be gathered and the expense will be
apportioned among all owners. If any object to paying
their share their stock will not be gathered. Mavericks
will be sold for the benefit of the association.

NEW DERBY CANDIDATES.

Horses That are Likely to Give Lieutenant
Gibson an Argument at Chicago.

THE NUMBER of farm horses in California January
1, 1900, as shown by the books of county assessors, was
321,729 at an average value of $38.61 per head, or
♦12,422,429. There were 48,682 mules in the State at
the same time, valued at $2,360,713, or an average of
$48.49 per head.

The race for the Oaks 8takea of 4500 sovereigns, was run
at Epsom Downs Jane 1st, and was won by the Dake of
Portland's La Hoche. Mr. W. H. Walker's Merry Gal was
second and Mr. J. Maker's Lady 8chomberg third. Fourteen
horses started. The betiiog was 5 to 1 against La Roche,
100 to 7 agaiost Merry Gal, and 3 to 1 against Lady Schom-
berg. The Oaks, which is one of the classic events of the
English turf, is for three year old filliss only, while in the
Derby both three year old colts and fillies can run. The
winner, La Roche, is a bay filly by 8t. Simon oat of Miss
Mildred. Merry Gal, which was second, is a bay filly by
Galopin, ont of Mary Beaton, and Lady Bcbomberg is also a
bay filly by Aughrim ont of Clonavarn.

The Australian Btallion Grand Flaneur is dead. The
Yattendon— First Lady horse was never beaten and earned
immortal fame by winning the V. R. C. Derby, Champion
Plate and Melboarne Cap. As a sire Grand Flaneor was a
big success, aod two sons of his, Bravo and Patroo, won the
Melbonrne Cnp, aDd a daughter, Patroness, won the Sydney
Cop. Patron is now at the stod in England. At the sale of
yearliDgs held last month the top price (450ga) was given for
a Grand Flaneur colt.

New and dangerous candidates for American Derby honors
are bobbing up in all directions and it now looks as though
the race to be run on June 23d, at Washington Park, would
be the greatest that has ever been decided there Bince Ed-
ward Corrigan's chestnut filly Modesty carried off the honors
in the initial event some sixteen years ago. Since that day
the American Derby, then inaugurated, has grown to be one
of America's greatest classics as well as one of its richest
stakes, the winning of which is considered to be even a
greater honor than is the wioning of the Kentucky Derby —
a race that antedates it in origin by many years.

Uolike its prototype at Latonia, the American Derby has
never yet resulted in a walk-over, and on more than one
occasion the top-heavy favorite of the talent has been beaten
under the wire by a despised outsider, this being notably the
case in 1887, when C. H. Todd at 30 to 1 beat the Baldwio
pair, Goliah and Miss Ford, and in 1894, when Rey El Santa
Anita, carrying the black jacket with red Maltese cross and
sash of the California millionaire, and quoted at 40 to 1 in
the books, beat Domino and a field of cracks, among which
were such noted Eistern performers as Senator Grady and
Dorian.

Lieutenant Gibson still continues to be the great popular
favorite for the race, but the popular favorite dees not alwayB
get the money; in fact, on more than one occasion he has
been beaten. In spite of the victories achieved by the Bon of
G. W. Jobn9on and Sophia Hardy at Louisville and of his
more recent walk-over at Latonia, there are shrewd horse-
men who are willing to wager no small amount that he will
be beaten in the Washington Park race.

" Whom has Lieutenant Gibson beaten," they ask, "that
he should be installed a top-heavy favorite for this great
race?"

It must be admitted that the question is a pertinent one.
Lientenant Gibson has thus far in his career been lucky in
the fact that he has bad horses that rank but little belter
than Belling platers to go against. The fact that he has
made a show of them counts bnt little in the minds of real
students of the racing game. He must meet and vanquish
a race horse of the first clasB before they will eoncede that
bis claims to greatness ate based npon a real foundation. It
is not how he beat them, bnt whom he beat, that in their
judgment is the true (est of his merit; and they point to the
fact that selling platers, with no pretensions to class what-
ever, ran as fast as did stake horses over the track at Louis-
ville.

Pat Dunne, than whom there is no shrewder jadge of a
race horse in the country, when asked for his opinion of
Lieutenant Gibson, after he had won the Kentucky Derbyi
replied :

"Just wait until he meets a good colt, and then yon can
tell more about him. He has beaten nothing to-day that
could make him run even the first part of the journey.
When he does meet one that is really of the stake class, and
that can hold him for a time, I think you will find that he is
not such s great horse as some people now imagine."

There is one thing sure and certain, and that is Lieutenant
Gibson will never be beaten by horses that are kept in the
stable and not started against him. He has not thus far
demonstrated the fact that he is so great as to be unbeatable,
and the craze that now exists regarding bim has but one
parallel in the history of the American derby, and that
parallel is Kingman.

In 1891 Kingman's career prior to the big races at Wash-
ington Park was very much like that of Charles Bead 8mith'a
colt at the present lime. He had won his races in the South
with such consummate ease as to lead the m^jirity of people
into thinking that he was a world baater, and yet, like Lieu-
tenant Gibson, he had beaten nothing. The Kentuckians
had gone all but crazy over his performances. They declared
that he had the American Derby at his mercy, and were in-
clined to laugh at the temerity of any man who talked of
starting a horBe against him. They poinltd ou the ease
with which he had beaten everything that had started
against bim, and went fairly wild as they talked of him.

There were some shrewd owners, however, who did not
believe that Kingman was a world beater and who went on
and prepared their horses for the big event just as though
there was no Kingman in the field. When Derby Day, 1891,
finally arrived the following horses went to the poBi: Btrath-
meath, 122 pounds; Poet Scout 115; KiDgman, 129; Valleria
127; Ludowic, 122; Michael, 126; Pessara, 129; Snowball 122;
Forerunner, 125; High Tariff, 127.

The Southern delegation that had assembled in force on
that occasion backed Kingman to a man. They fairly fell
over each other in their anxiety to get their money on, but
the bookmakers wisely took it all and clamored for more.
The weight of the Eastern money, however, soon established
Strathmeath as the choice, while Campbell's pair. Pessara
aod Snowball coupled, were the second pick. At post time
it was 2 to 1 Slrathmeatb, 3 to 1 the Campbell pair, 4 to 1
Kingman, 6 to 1 Michael, 8 to 1 High Tariff and Poet Scout
coupled, and from 10 to 16 to 1 the others.
The followers of Kingman still insisted that he could not

lose. Other men, who, as the sequel proved, were of the
shrewdest, declared that he could not win. Tbey argued
that the penalties that he had accumnlated would anchor him,
and the sequel proved that they were right. The story of
the race is soon told.

To a good start and after but a slight delay at the post they
were Bent away. As they paesed the stand for the first time
Strathmeath, Poet Scout and Michael were the leaders.
Passing the quarter Michael was in front, with Poet Scout
second and Strathmeath third. There was no change in the
positions of the leaders at the half, but goiog to the three-
quarters Strathmeath assumed command of the post, followed
by Poet Scout and Kingman, and in this same manner tbey
ran to the finish, the favorite winning easily by a length and
a half, with three lengths between second and third. High
Tariff, wbo was really the hope of the EaBtio & Larabie
stable, fell dead on the upper turn, otherwise the race might
have had a different ending and Kingman have finished out-
Bide the money.

Lieutenant Gibson may meet with the same fate in tbe
race of this year as did Kingman. Tbe owner of no really
good colt is likely to be deterred from starting bim because
of Lieutenant Gibson's reputation. Such owner will not
overlook the fact that Lieutenant Gib-oo has not beaten a
real good borse yet.

The form shown by Advance Guard at Toronto is such as
to make bim a most dangerous candidate, and at St. Louis
Sam Phillips has loomed up in a wav that leads many horse-
men to believe that be has a chance to carry off the honors.
Tommy Burns, who will have the mount on him in the
American Derby, declares tbat be is a greatly improved colt
and tbat the one who beats bim at Washington Park will be
the one that will get the money. The admirers of Yellow-
tail Btill insist that he can go the distance, and declare tbat
he will demonstrate that fact when the proper time for him
to do bo arrives. Hiram Scoggan means to have another try
with Florizar and Highland Lad, provided both day and
track are good, and there are still others in the West that
remain to be heard from.

In the East the prospective starters in the American Derby
are growing in number every passing day. Vulcain, in the
stable of H. Eugene Leigh, is one that may be marked dan-
gerous, and very dangerous at that. He has already demon-
strated that he is a coll of the first class, and as Leigh is a
man who makes but few mistakes in the racing line, be is
certain to be fit and well when sent to the po t. Missionary,
from the Featherstone stable, is generally looked upon as a
certain starter, barring accidents, and it would not be at al'
astonishing were Mesmerist sent on to make the pace for
him. August Belmont's Brigadier is a more than probable
starter, and Mr. Whitney's intentions regarding Kilmarnock
have as yet not been made public.

Phil Dwyer Btill declares that he will send on both Ham-
mock and Withers, and Billy Lakeland insists that Ten
Candles will be found among tbe starters. The stable of
Green B. Morris is to be shipped to Chicago shortly, and on
his arrival he will probably make known which one of bis
trio of Derby candidates he intends to start. W. M. Bar-
rick's James, a good colt at Washington last year, late in the
fall, is an almost certain starter, and Tom Barrett declares
that Barrack will start and will not finish last in tbe Derby,

With such afield as this opposed to him Lieutenant Gibson
will have a chance to prove whether he is really a great horse
or an animal that has been greatly favored by both luck and
circumstances. — Inter-Oceao.

AT the New South Wales Agricultural Show recently the
champion prize for blood stallions was taken by Correze,
with Osculator second. Corrtzs is by Newminsler — Guida,
by Yattendon. Osculator is the New Zealand-bred hone,
who raced successfully in Australia, by Hotchkiss — Puoga-
werewere.

Two of the finest prospects in training at the Salinas race
track are J. B. Iverson's three year old trotting Gtly, Dagmar

Ainsworth 2:10], the bay pacing gelding by Parker that
took his record last year, has started in early to reduce it
this season. At the spring meeting of the Gentlemen's
Driving Club at Baltimore May 27th he won the free for all
in straight heats, and paced the first mile in 2:10J.

That excellent journal the New York Spirit of the Times
has moved its quarters from the old location at Temple
Court to 62-64 Trinity Place, where the editorial and
mechanical departments are now all under one roof. Cali-
fornia horsemen who visit New York should make note of
this.

The three year old filly Litka, by Chas. Derby, iB thought
to be one of the best purchases of the Cleveland sale. Mr.
Osterbout of Troy, who bought her, refused several offers
for her in less than two hours after he purchased her. The
next day after she was sold she stepped a quarter in 34
seconds.

Lottie Pares 2:16| has been turned out and will not be
raced this season. She showed a slight lameness after a drive
on the park roads in this city, which while not serious, led
her owner, Mr. T. J. Crowley, to decide not to have her
trained this year, as she is too valuable a mare to take
chances with.

The Byrns Hotel, which is headquarters for horsemen
who viBit Woodland during the fairs and race meetings, pre-
sents its card in our issue to-day. The table of the Byrns
has the reputation of being one of the best in the State, and

guests are always attended to.

The American TrottiDg Association adopted tne following
new rule at its annual meeting in Chicago: "If any person
acting as judge or an official of a course shall be guilty of
using insulting language from the stand to an owner, driver
or other persons, or be guilty cf other improper conduct, he
shall, upon conviction thereof by the Board of Appeals, be
fined not to exceed $500 or be expelled."

The Napa purses, a portion of them, at least, filled well.
The 2:40 trot haB 16 entries, the 2:30 and the 2:19 trots 11
each, the green class pace 15 entries and the 2:25 pace 11.
New purses have been opened as follows: Free for all trot,
$800; 2:17 trot, $600; three year old trot, free for all, $500;
free for all pace $800. There will be $2000 hung up for
runners. Napa's meeting will be a rouser.

Morris Jones, who owned Alix when she became the
trotting queen, has sold no less than half of the 500 head of
horses that he took to Red Oak, la., from the Keith ranch in
Nebraska last month. He has sold all of them at private
sale to people living out that way, which is more evidence
showing that the farmers of the blue grass region of the
West are now buying horses instead of Belling.

The Austrian trotting Derby, decided during the second
week of May, was won by Mary C by Tonquin, son of Lord
Russell. Her time was 5:10 1-5, the best Austrian record for
the race, and she came home ahead of ten other home bred
ones, most of them, like her, being by American bred trot-
ting sires. The distance of the race is 3300 metres, which
is something over two mile- — 1609 metres making 1760 yards.

Quite a difference is noted in the racing of Benton M-
2:10 and Idolita 2:12 during their careers so far, the com-
parison being brought by their both being entered in the
$20,000 stallion stake, says a Boston paper. Benton M. has
been in forty-three raceB and has won only $4822, while
Idolita has participated in but four raceB and has $18,500 to
his credit. Benton M. never won over $500 in one race,
while the other's figured: $1500, $7000 and $10,000 respec-
tively.

The Maxine-Praytell match race, which has been agitat-
ing Philadelphia horse circles for Beveral months, seems
destined now not to come off It is stated that Mr. McCargo
has received an offer of $7500 for Pray tell, on condition that
the big gelding shall not be trained or raced, but shall be
turned out until the return from Europe of the prospective
owner. Mr Grady, the owner of Maxine, seems disposed to
release Mr. McCargo, and it is probable that the match will
be declared off.

Imp, Mr. C. E. Parks' tall geldiog by Diablo 2:09}, is fast
enough to take a standard record if he were a little more
steady. He has worked miles very close to 2:20 but the
crowd and the music on Decoration Day excited him so that
he wanted to do anything but pace. Imp was one of the
fastest yearlings ever seen at Pleasanton, but got some mighty
rough handling and was then turned out and nearly starved.
Since Mr. Parks has owned him he has shown great improve-
ment and will yet be able to get a low mark.

The California and Northwestern Railway will sell on
July 4th, round trip tickets from all points on the road to
Santa Rosa and return for half fare. These tickets will be
good for return on the 5tb. The program of the Breeders
meeting will be an extra good one on the 4th, which, together
with the big celebrations and other attractions, will certainly
draw one of the biggest crowds ever seen in Santa Rosa.

R M. Whidden of Santa Cruz has purchased of R. J.
Elliott of the same place a two months old suckling colt now
running at its dam's side. His sire, General Montgomery, a
full and only brother of Ethel Downs 2:10, is by Boodle, and
bis dam Pacific Queen is by Nutwood Wilkee; bis second
dam Catchup is by Rustic, he bv Whipple's Hambletonian;
third dam Huntress by Don Victor; fourth dam Betty
Denice by American Boy Jr. He is a large, fine, big-boned
colt. Color brown, with star and black points.

Mr. Harry Devereaux, of Cleveland, is one of the
clever gentlemen one meete in the Driving Park. His

apartments at the park tell of the intense interest he mani-
fests in horse events, past and present. In his gallery of
noted performers is a large painting of St. Julien and Orrin
Hickok in action. It is a splendid piece of art, mag-
nificently mounted, and is contributed by Mr. Hickok, who
is hie personal friend. Mr. Devereaux is one of the kind
that knows how and does make a stranger feel at home. —

P. W. Hodges, who has bad a string of six horses work-
ing at Sacramento, will soon move to Santa Rosa to get
ready there for the Breeders meeting. He has in bis string
Hazel Einney 2:12$, by McKinney, and five others without
records. A gray gelding by Ed Wilkes out of a mare by A.
W. Richmond is a trotter and a fair prospect. Queen R., a
pacing mare by Redondo, has worked a mile in 2:17, Ather-
loe, a daughter of Patron that Mr. Hodges brought back
from Denver last year, has shown him a mile at the trot
close to 2:20, and he has a pacer by Hawthorne out of the
dam of Stella 2:15$, that is showing lots of speed. Mr.
Hodges will race all through the circuit.

A press dispatch from Lexington, Ky., dated May 26th,
says: The Kentucky Trotting HorBe Breeders' Association
to-day accepted the resignation of Maj. P. P. Johnston, of
this city, as president and director of the association, and
elected former vice-president R. P. Stoll president and Col.
John R. Allen on the board of directors. Shelby T. Harbi-
son was elected to fill Stoll's vacancy in the vice-p residency,
and Lucas Brodhead was chosen second vice president. Maj.
Johnston has been connected with the association about
twenty years and has served Beveral times as president. His
health is bad.

A writer interested in horse breeding and seeing the in-
evitable in the immediate future when the demand is to be bo
great says, "take a three year old mare colt and breed her;
if successful, you will have a four year old mare and a suck-
ling colt; breed ber again and you will have a five year old
mare and a yearling and a suckling colt. This will enable
you to determine whether you will have a good broodmare,
and if she proves such keep her and you will have valuable
property on the farm; but should she prove of no value, then
put her in good condition and sell her. She has paid her
way in work, and what you get in money you have clear and
the two colts besides, which are still growing into money."

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association has decided
to have another day of racing at Oakland on the Fourth of
July. The Decoration Day meeting netted the club nearly
three hundred dollars which swells the amount in the treas-
ury to Bomething over $900 The program for the Fourth
will be limited to five raceB, each purse to be $100. The
O'Kane Challenge Cup will be the third race on the program
a d there will be a strong; effort made bv Beveral to take it
away from the present holder, Dr Kleiser's Alta Vela 2:19f .
It is very likely that the cup, under the present rules, will
finally go to a pacer, as the sidewheelers in the club are
generally faster than the trotters. The two contests so far
have been won by trotters, Harvey B. 2:31 by Steinway and
Alta Vela 2:19f by Electioneer. The next race will ba for
horses of the 2:20 class.

Milo M. Potter, proprietor of the Hotel Van Nuys, has
a string of fast horses at the Agricultural park, and he thinks
he has a world beating pacer in Primrose 2:13, a seven year
old mare, who is doing some fast work these days. Last
Saturday she paced a half mile in 59 seconds, dragging a
road wagon with two heavy men in it There were thirty or
forty horsemen present when the trial was made. Mr. Potter
has been anxious to own a horse that could pace the half in
lesB than a minute, and he has sent Primrose on trials many
times, but she nev.r beat 1:01 until Saturday. She is a
bright bay with a white star in her forehead, an J she weighs
about 950 ponnde. Among the others in Potter's string is a
pole team called Maud McKinney and May Murphy, that
can trot in better than 2:30, and another team that will beat
2:40 Altogether he has two pacing horses, three runners
and ten trotters, and calls his stable "Potter's Folly." — Loa

The auction Bale business is now in the practical control
of the horse market, says an exchange. This is not only true
of the trotting horse, but of the coach and draft horee and the
horse of all around usefulness. In private sales the seller
fixes the prices, bui in auction sales the buyer fixes the
prices. And as there are more buyers than sellers the open
competition of buyers has tended to advance prices, not only
for the trotter, but all other types. And the auction system
has an economic advantage that is not generally considered.
It enables a buyer without extra expense to select what he
wants without having to travel to a distant city to look at an
animal or a pair that some highly imaginative person has
lured him far from home to a<?e. It is estimated by com-
petent authority that about 80 per cent of all high class
borses that now change ownership are dif posed of through
public competition. The horse auctioneer is not of the class
whose occupation is gone.

Many people speak of the Electioneers and Wilkes as
though those two families represented or constituted the Bum
total of trotting horse families. No one will question the
greatness of either George Wilkes or Electioneer, but we
have had great sires carrying quite different blood from
either of them. There is Nutwood, standing at the very
head of speed sires, with more standard performers to his
credit than any other sire, living or dead. He carries Ham-
bletonian blood, to be sure, but no more of it than hundreds
of sires that never gained a mediocre standing. CouIJ
after all, that the blood of Pilot Jr., inherited through
dam, Miss Russell, gave Nutwood most of his greatness? We
admit that it looks a bit that way. Harold's greatest per-
former was out of a Pilot Jr. mare; hie greatest speed-siring
son is out of a Pilot Jr. mare; Happy Medium's greatest
Bpeed-Biring sod was out of a Pilot Jr. mare, and Belmont's
greatest son, and the champion speed sire to date, was out ot
a Pilot Jr. mare. — Western Horseman.

Much responsibility for the.Buccess of harness racing rests
upon the gentlemen who fill the office of starting judge at
the various races. An intelligent, honest, impartial and
competent starter can frequently perform invaluable service,
while one without these qualities can make a meeting which
Bhould have been successful a failure. Nothing detracts
more from the interest in a race meeting than tedious and
unnecessary scoring, and a really good starter will reduce
this to a minimum. In most cases a little firmnees and de-
cision od the part of the starter will obviate a good deal of
the difficulty. A great deal of the trouble in this respect is
caused by the anxiety of the drivers to get the best of each
other in the start, and an experienced and impartial starter
has the power to check this propensity bv the use of the
proper means. With even the best Btarter that can be pro-
cured the scoring is yet one of <he weakest points in the
whole trotting horse business. It is to be hoped that the
wisdom of the trotting horse people, or of the authorities,
may devise some plan by which most of the nuisance of pro-
tracted scoring may be abated. When this is done the pop-
ularity of our raceB will be vastly increased. The European
plan of a start from a "stand still" would be preferable to
some of the scoring one sometimes witnesses. — Kentucky

Thk Metropolitan Turt Association, which is an organiza-
tion of bookmakers, has ruled that hereafter no bets will be
declared offender any circumstances. The Governing Com-
mittee of the association, to whom the matter was referred
with power to act, carefully considered the question of de-
claring off bets, as was done in the Maximo Gomez case,
and decided to take no action of like character in the future.
All bets made after the numbers have been posted on the
official bulletin board will stand.

Pat Dunne says the report that he has engaged Charlie
Thorpe to do his riding is incorrect.

Jockey Fred Tabal will ride Sidney Lucas in (he
American Derby at Washington Park.

Jockey Hknry has been afflicted with carbuncles so that
he has been unable to ride mnch recently.

Lovers of a good race horse will regret to hear that it is
reported from Australia that it is unlisely Bobadil will do
any more racing.

Jcckey Walsh, who received serious injuries in a fall at
Morris Park, is rapidly recovering and wili be seen in the
saddle again soon.

The total of the approximate winnings of the leading sires
in Australia calculated to Monday, April 23, are as follows:
Locbiel £12,738, Bill of Portland £11,418, and Carbine

£8,216.

The Patchopue Stake, six furlongs, was wod at Gravesend
June 1st, by MeehanuB, with Merry Day second and Trum-
pet third. The time was 1:13 1-5. The winner is a Califor-
nia bred colt, by imp. Golden Garter, dam Fedalma by
Wheatley.

Owing to some confusion which occurred at Tattenham
Corner during the running of the Derby, the Stewards of the
Jockey Club severely reprimanded Tod Sloan, the jockey
who rode Mr. Keene's Disguise II , the third horse in the
race, for a breach of the rules.

Tuesday, June 5th, was a lucky day for Richard Croker,
On that day his black colt Manhattan Boy with Lester Keiff
up, won the Bradford two year old plate in England, and Mr.
Croker [himself won the race for delegate to the Democratic
National Convention from New York.

The Kingston Stud Bale will occur at the Brooklyn track
at 12 o'clock to-day, 'and the competition for these youngsters
is certain to prove of the keenest. It is said that for the
imp. St. George — Marie Jansen colt (brother to Black Fox)
Mr. Phil T. China has already refused an offer of $5000 at
private sale.

Horace Egbert, who is in New York in attendance on
the race meetings there, says more horsemen will bring their
stables to California next winter than ever before. Mr.
Egbert states that Sweet Lavender, the full sister to Salvabie,
bred at Runcho del Paso, is undoubtedly the best two year
old filly running on the tracks about New YorE.

As a result of a squabble between the Oak Park authori-
ties and the Hawthorne race track management in regard to
liquor Belling and gambling at the course, policemen recently
made a raid on the bookmakers found in the betting ring and
confiscated all their paraphernalia. Later the liquor Belling
dispute was taken to court and the ruling was in favor of the
town authorities

The match between Ethelbert and Jean Beraud resulted
in an easy victory for the former. The distance was one
mile and a quarter, and Jean Beraud ran to the half head
and head with Ethelbert in 48 seconds and the five furlongs
in 1:00 2-5, but here the son of imp. Eothen began drawing
away from Mr. Whitney's colt and beat him ten lengths at
the finish in 2:08 1-5, pulled up. Both carried 126 pounds.

A Jury Awards Plaintiffs In the Famous
Morello Case That Sum.

It is reported that Mr. Clarence W. Mackay intends to
have Banastar trained over the jumps with the view of start-
ing him in France next year in the Anteuil Hurdle Race.
This race is ane of the important events of the French turf,
and is worth about $20,000 to the winner. Mr. Mackay
Bpends a great deal of his time in Paris, and has had his
heart Bet on winning the great race for some time. Banastar
has the conformation of a hurdle racer, and there is no ques-
tion about his speed, courage and ability to go a route.
Banastar will be sent to England some time during the year
and placed in charge of "Tom" Leader, the celebrated trainer
who trained the noted jumper Count Schomberg when he
won the Anteuil Hurdle Race and the Ascot Gold Cup.

Jimhv/ Coffey, who trained Rosinante and Opponent for
Eddie Graney last winter, is in New York. He bought three
yearlings at the Haggin sale. His idea in going East was to
pick up some handy horses for California next winter. Since
arriving several propositions have been made to him that
may change his plans. It is altogether likely that be will
take the string of Haggin horses to Chicago to race there
during the summer.

Fred Foster lost his horse Socapa by the claiming process
at Lakeside recently. 8ocapa was the favorite, and Foster
knew that the gelding favored the mud-going. He showed
his knowledge and his confidence in the horse by betting
heavily upon him Socapa threw Flick at the post and then
ran away a mile, winding up by jumping over a fence and
sustaining a twenty-foot slide in the mud. He was then
caught and led back to the po°t and started with the bunch,
but finished last. In spite of all this trouble, more awaited
Foster's arrival in the paddock, where J. H. Smith had
deposited $500 with Clerk of the Scales Pomeroy for Socapa.
And to Smith the thoroughbred went.

The Brookdale Handicap, in which there were 54 original
entries, bad but four starters at Gravesend last Tuesday, hut
it resulted in a contest between Jean Beraud and Imp that
will not be soon forgotten by those who witnessed it. Tne
race was at one mile and a furlong and Chartentus and Prince
McClurg were the others making up the field. They were
sent ofi on the first break to a good start. Jean Beraud
was on the rail, with Imp next, and they came down past the
Bland like a team running head and bead. Goiog up the
backBtretch Jean Beraud showed in front by half a length.
Rounding the far turn Imp moved up on even terms, and
they came into the stretch head and head. Then for a few
Btrides the black mare's head showed in front. At the last
sixteenth pole Beraud got his head in front and O'Connor
drew his whip on the mare. She responded gamely, but at
the weights Jean proved the better, and he rushed across the
line a neck in front, while the crowd cheered them both to
the echo. At no time during the entire journey were they
more than a half a length apart. The time was 1:54 1-5.

The Harlem race track has undergone quite an amount of
improvement during the past few months, and visitors notice
big changes around the grand stand entrances. The grand
stand is practically a new one, and is 352 feet long by yO
wide. The new betting ring is 240 feet in length and 96 feet
wide. New entrances have been built and awnings will ex-
tend the entire length of the stand. In front of the stand
are wide cement walks th&t take the place of the brick ar-
rangements there formerly. The promenade is forty five
feet wide and slopes gradually down to the track. The track,
by the way, has been newly fenced. New stands for the
judges and timers have also been placed in position Over
the secretary's office a roofed inclosure has been built for the
jockeys.

The stallions that Mr. Barnes bred the Melbourne matrons
to this year (1900) embrace nearly every leading sire around
Lexington. Mr. Barnes has pursued this policy for several
years and he breeds his mares to as many outside stallions as
any other Kentucky breeder. He claims that no stud of
fifty or sixty mares can find more than twenty or twenty-five
mares suitable to. be bred to any one stallion. Their con-
formation and breeding lines will not allow it intelligently^
and this is the reason for mating his mares to so many differ-
ent sires. He certainly shows no prejudice in the matter,
but on the contrary shows rare judgment in hiB breeding
policv. Here is the list: Prince of Monaco, Riinbow, Blazes,
Jim Gore, imp. Order, Salvator, Onondaga, Tammany, Re-
quital, imp. Iogoldeby, imp. Wagner, Handspring, G. W.
Johnson, imp. De Beauvoir, Wadsworth, Belvidere and
Ornament, sixty-five mares to seventeen stallions. — Thor-
oughbred Record.

Speae-ING of the accident to Jockey Tod Walsh at Morris
Park recently, one of the more prominent jockeys said:
" The public do not realize the chances a jockey takes in
such a field and on such a track. --Coming down the Eclipse
course, if we get two or three lengths behind the leaders, we
simply are traveling in a cloud of dust and it is more by
good luck than anything else that we get through safely.
If the captain of a steamship should send his vessel along
under a full head of steam in a fog he would be accused of
being a fool and probably would be roonded up for it, but
we must race every inch of the way from the fall of the flag,
and it we ain't in front, we're racing in a cloud of dust
thicker than any fog. Life is as sweet to us as it is to any-
body else, and if there are times when we do not seem to care
to take chances the public should not be quick to blame us.
It would be a great improvement if the sprinkling carts were
kept a little busier. In dry weather the track ought to be
sprinkled regularly and heavily enough to prevent the dust
from rising in a cloud. When this is neglected, accidents
may be expected."

Chables Head Smith, of the Chicago Board of Trade,
has purchased from J. J. Marklein the brown two year old
colt Garry Herrmann, by Esher-Silk Gown, the purchase
price being $10,000. Mr. Smith turned over to Marklein
two checks for $5000 each, and therrafter the animal was led
over to become a stable companion of Lieutenant Gibson,
His Excellency, and others of the Smith string that are
under the care of trainer Charlie Hughes. The sale of Garry
Herrman was the one topic at the Hawthorne track as soon
as the papers were made out. The colt for which Mr. Smith
paid such a fancy price is well engaged in stake events in
both the East and the West. The engagements of the animal
were included in the transfer papers, and all forfeits of the
animal are paid, according to the document. Among the
engagements of the colt are two $5000 stakes at Saratoga, the
Great Trial stakes at New York, the $2000 Kenwood Stakes
at Washington Park, two of the stakes an Harlem, including
the Youngster stakes; all the larger Derbies of 1901, the
Clark stakes at Louisville, and the Himyar stakes at Cincin-
nati. At Lakeside George W. Poole oflered $7000 for Garry
Herrman, Marklein at that time placing his figures for the
colt at $10,000.

Trainer Sam Hildreth will no longer handle the
numerous horses comprising the W. C. Whitney stable,
though he will, as a public trainer, retain four of the horses
heretofore trained by him Mr. Hildreth and his employer
decided to part company and the former announced that be
would hereafter conduct a public training stable, his first
customer being hiB former employer, who gives him Admira-
tion and the three jumpers, Euela, The Bachelor and Ineen-
namara to train. While the report lacks confirmation, it
was generally understood that the disagreement between Mr.
Whitney and hie trainer was caused by his being dissatisfied
with Mr. Hildreth's handling of his two year olds, althoagn
well satisfied with the methods adopted with the older divi-
sion and as the stable is well supplied with the youngters, it
was decided to make a change. Rumors had several promi-
nent trainers mentioned as Mr. Hildreth's successor, but so
far no one has been named. It is probable that Foreman
Gleason, who is now with the stable, will train some of them,
while others will be sent to Thomas Welsh and Peter Wim-
mer. John E. Madden stated recently that he would con-
tinue to train Kilmarnock until after the running of the
Brooklyn Derby, when he would turn him over to whoever
Mr. Whitney ordered. Mr. Whitney desires it to be staled
that there is no cause for reflecting upon Mr. Hildreth either
as a trainer or in any other way.

A civil suit of interest to horsemen, and one that has been
pending for several years, was decided before ajary in Judge
Daingerfield's court in this city, last week. The title of the
case was: " John A. Drinkhouse as Administrator of the
Estate of William M. Singerly and Louis Lammertz ve,
Frank Van Ness and Pacific Surety Company, a Coiporation
Intervenor," and was for the possession of or value of the
well known race horse Morello, which died on the breeding
farm of J. O. Reis, in November of 1896 From the evidence
it appeared that Frank Van .frie83, who was racing horses a'
the Washington, D. C, maetiog in 1892, was attracted by the
performances of Morello, who there made his first appear-
ance as a two year old, and a_licited Mr. 8ingerlv, publisher
of the Philadelphia Record, by letter to j Din with him in
the purchase of the colt. The price asked for Morello was
$4500 cash and $500 out of his first earnings. Mr. Singerly
promptly responded by eendirg Van Ness his check for
$2250 in payment of his half interest in the animal, and the
latter forwarded Singerly a bill of sale in acknowledgment of
the fact. At the same time Van Ness approached Louis
Lammertz, then biokmaking and racing a stable of horses at
the Washington meeting, making him a similar proposition
to that made Mr. Singerly. Lammertz at once accepted the
offer and handed over to Mr. Doswell, the owner, $2250
for his one-half interest in Morello. According to agree,
ment, the horse wsb placed in Van Ness' hands and was sub-
sequently raced by him with great success, during which
period Van Ness, with more or less regularity, accounted to
and paid over to Singerly, as well as to Lammertz, their
each one-half of the purses won, less one-half of the horse's
expenses. Neither of the two last named persons daring
this time was aware that the other owned a half interest, but
each supposed that he alone owned a half interest in co-
partnership with Van NesB. This was the situation up to
the time that Morello was brought to this Coast, when, by
reason of Van Ness not satisfactorily accounting to either
both gentlemen, by a strange coincidence, placed their claim'
for collection in the hands of Attorney A. Reuf, of this city t
Thus it was discovered that they together were the full own-
ers of the property and that Van Ness had no ownership
therein. A joint suit in their behalf was at once brought for
possession of Morello, who was then at the breeding farm of
J. B. Chase near Sonoma, and a bond of $20,000 being
furnished, the horse was takea by the sheriti of Sonoma
county out of the hands of Mr. Chase and placed in a livery
stable in the town of 8onoma, Van Ness haying the legal
right to regain possession of the property within five days,
provided he filed a bond in an equal amount, availed himself
of his privilege — the bond being issued by the Pacific Surety
Company of this city. Demand having been properly made
upon the sheriff, that official delivered possession of the
horse to Van Ness' agent, after numerous attachments had
been released, and he was hurriedly taken to the breeding
farm of J. O. Reis, at Alamo, Contra Costa county. In this
journey it was claimed by plaintiffs that the horse received
injuries from the results of which he finally died, although
the defendants sought to prove that it died from natural
diseases. Van Ness made answer to the suit, setting up the
claim that he alone owned the horse and that the moneys
received from Messrs. Singerly and Lammertz were merely
loans, although when receiving the specific sums he gave to
each of the gentlemen named a bill of eale for one-half inter.
est in Morello as showing how the money was expended for
them. So the matter huog until the trial commenced, when
it was claimed by the 8irety Company that Van Ne98 waa
bankrupt and had left the State the day after he was sub-
precaed to attend; his deposition previously taken was, how-
ever, read and his attorney appeared, but left his defense to
the four attorneys employed by the Surety Company. It
developed that Mr. Reis, presumably to get the services of
Morello as a stallion to mate with hiB mares, had given the
Surety Company indemnity against loss on its bond and he
also came in to defend the suit in order to protect his inter-
ests. Mr. Reuf, attorney for the plaintiffs, strenuously con-
tested the right of the Surety Company to defend as inter*
venor, since it had accepted the indemnity of Mr. Reis, but
this was overruled. Mr. Singerly having died since the
commencement ol the action, it became necessary to substi-
tute Mr. Drinkhouse, administrator of bis estate here, as
co-plaintiff with Mr. Lammertz. The claim of plaintifls waa
for $10,000— us being the value of Morello when he was
taken out of the sheriffs possession and an additional $10,-
000, in which eum they claimed they had been injured
by the subsequent loss of his services. The case, bristling
with objections and points of law, was bitterly contested
throughout After three weeks of trial the jury, at a late
hour on Thursday evening of last week, unanimously
awarded the plaintiff* a verdict of $15,000 against the de-
fendants and the Pacific 8urety Company. Mr. Reuf was
highly complimented for the able manner in which he con-
ducted the case.

At the Traps.

The small attendance of sportsmen at the California Wing
Clab pieeon shoot last Sunday was do doubt attributable to
the cold wind and disagreeable weather prevailing. In the
regular clnb contest twelve shooters entered and throughout
the shooting was of a high order of excellence. Oat of 132
pigeons shot at bat two escaped unscathed, six others drop-
ping out of bounds. In two six bird pool races, seven
straight score; were made out of twelve entries, Joe
Sweeney, who h&s shown great improvement in form re-
cently, killed straight in the clab score and also in shooting
up a back score. Justins, Nauman and Shaw also slot
straight strings in the club race. Following the principal
event six bird sweepstakes were in order at $2 50 entrance, a
glance at the scores will show that although the shooting
was very good there was not much money divided amODg
the winners. Nauman leads in the clab record with four
straight scores, forty-eight birdB to his credit; Haight and
Shaw cime next with forty-sis out of fcrty-eight pigeons
killed; Sweeney's record is forty-five; Williamson follows
with four and forty, Justins has forty-three, Owens forty-two
and "Slade" forty. Feudner, Shields and Barker each have
a back score to shoot up. Williamson and Shaw shot a race
at twelve pigeons on Sunday which was won by the former,
the score was twelve to nine. Shaw afterwards bested Shields
in a similar contest, the score resulting was eleven to nine.

The results in the events shot duriDg the day were:

The Union Gun Club has among its members a variety at
least in the personnel of forming the fraternity of knights
of the shot gun. While temporarily the club may be short
on expert material, if the interest and enthusiasm in club
shoots is kept op, the outlook for its future is more than
promising. In looking over the practice shoots tabulated
below light scores are almost the rule. A number of these
club members are new beginners at trap shooting, we notice
however that they keep on shooting constantly and are
steadily improving. This is a good sign and argues the in-
crease of recruits to the sport of trap shooting. Many of
these yonog men are excellent wing and field shots although
not yet up in taiget work.

In the club race at twenty-five targets, Flickinger won first
class money; Javelte, Jr., won the second class money, Bur-
nell aod Herring divided third, Lewis and Michellssen split-
ting fourth class money. In the handicap prise race Fred
Feudner won the trophy for tbe current month. Straight
runs were made in practice by Nauman and Shields. The

Some Guns are Bought, Soma are Borrowed
and Some are Used Badly.

Gun dealers are not by any means overlooked by that par*
ticular class of individuals who are always content to indulge
their fancieB or desires at somebody else's expense. The
shooter who likes to indulge in trap shooting, to hunt on lh9
marches, or afield, during the different seasons for various
kinds of game, is at times verv irjgenious ia being fitted out
with a fine grade of gun of leading make at no cost to him-
self. He is generally known, or reasonably supposed to be
in a position to purchase a fine gun, and in intimating his
intention to that end, the dealer ie, of course, interested.
After listening to the litany of the prospective buyer in which
is given at length his fancy as to make, style, weight, target
pattern, etc , etc., the result is generally that our sporting
cuckoo is tendered the use of a gun on trial for a certain day
or shoot. The gun is returned promptly and always in good
condition, but in response to inquiry as to his satisfaction
with the trial gun, some minor or serious objection, as the
case may be, is glibly made — stock too long, or too short,
not straight enough, balance just a little off to suit him, etc,
etc , all given in a very plausible manner, often induces the
offer of another trial gun. Tbe result is just the Bame when
the second gun is returned, the "buyless wonder" ib noj
brought to the purchasing point. We have known of cases
where three and even four guns have been "tried" by a gun
tester and one dealer after another worked by the same party
Manufacturers have not been too high game, either, for the
gentleman who likes to have a good gun without paying for
it, and knew one when he saw it. Several of our shooting
friends whom we know have guns that they take great pride
and satisfaction in using, but the manufacturer preserves a
discreet eilence.

Another shooting gent whom we have met, and often, is
the man who knows it all. A good story was told of a self
made expert who visited a leading sporting goods store one
day last season and looked with the critical examining glance,
which at once Btampsjune as being a sportsman of experience,
at a new model shot gun.

He deftly raised the weapon to his shoulder and squinted
down the polished barrel with a regular trap-gun-ninety-nine-
out-of-a-hundred f quint.

He tossed it at different angles, dropped it in the hollow of
his left arm, fingered the safety lever with a skilled hand and
lovingly snapped the triggers.

He opened the breech and held the barrel between his eye
and the light from the window and said something about the
advantage of using "barrel reflectors" for cleaning.

The German clerk was much impressed. He smiled.

The learned gunner talked of "choke bores," "new six-
teen gauge," of the new "takedown, single-barrel repeating"
shotguns being inferior to tbe old and tried double-barreled
gun; of the relative qusliiies of "Damascus," "double lamin-
ated," "decarbonized," * fine three-blade" and other barrels;
of "hslf-piatol gripB," "automatic fjectorb" and "solid
Btrikers."

He expatiated on "nitro-powder guarantees," "low circular
hammers," and explained to tbe clerk how easy it was to
take out tbe "safety plunger" with safety. He was eloquent
about ''flat" and other ''trajectories." He knew all about
the "globe," "wind," "knifeblade," "bead" and "peep"
eights.

The clerk was again very much impressed. He laughed.

He gave a practical illustration to the admiring clerk of
"bow to Bland when trap shooting, without muscular strain
or tremor." He demonstrated the importance, where "aper-
ture front sights" were used, of having the "aperture in the
bead 'ring' of the bull's eye."

Then he bought the gun-

A week later he returned to the store as mad as one of the
hares he had bunted

" Here, you ! " be cried to the clerk, angrily. ** Here, take
this gnn back ! You have cheated me. It won't shoo) I

"I have tramped over the bills of "Marin county for six
days, and banged away at all ranges at everything from a
chippie bird to a cow, but never once have I brought down
'he game. I have shot until my arm aches and my shoulder
is numb 1 have swor.i until 1 can swear no more. Take it
back or I will have you srreBted for obtaining money under
falsa pretenses I"

"What kind of shells have you been using?" asked the
clerk, mildly.

"TfaeBe."

"Ob, that's all right. Keep the gun. It is a good one.
The shells yon have been using are ■ blanks,' that's all."

It was enough.

The dove season in Butte county will be shortened by tbe
Board of Supervisors. The open season will commence
August 1st, by that time the birds will be through nesting.

IMPORTANT CONGRESSIONAL GAME LAW
LEGISLATION.

An Interesting Letter Describing This Muoh
Needed Act.

A circular letter issued by G. O. Shields, President of the
League of American Sportsmen, dated New York, May 28lh,
gives the salient features of a new law passed by Coogress.
ThiB law will be of inestimable benefit to the Pacific Coast
not only for the protection of game but in a further and in.
calculable value to our Coast commonwealth in the pro-
tection that it t fiords birds — particularly the insectivorous
and song varieties.

To the Sporting Editor— The most important measure ever Intro-
duced iD CongreEs in the interest ot game and bird protection passed
the Senate uoaoimously on the 18ch instant. It had previously
passed the House with only 23 negative votes. I refer to what is
ADOwn as the Lacey Bird BUI. TMs was introduced in the House by
the Hod. John F. Lacey ot Iowa, early in the session, and he worked
like a Trojan tor it ever since. Tbe League of American Sportsmen
has also Oone stalwart work in the interest ot the measure- Our
3000 members, distributed throughout the entire United StateB, have
written and caused to be written thousands of letters to the members
of the House and Sena-e, imploriDg them to support this bill. Fur-
thermore, our members have caused thousands ot business men and
farmers to write similar letters. It is safe to Bay that do measure in-
troduced in Congress in the last ten years has created so much popu-
lar interest all over the country, or has caused so great a flood of
petitions trom the people as the Lacey Bill has. It is entirely con-
servative to estimate that more than 10,000 letters have been delivered
Id the Capitol building within the past four months, praying for the
success of La cey's bill. , _. '

And the people's representatives haye responded nobly. The mill-
inery interests made a desperate fight againBt the measure, but we
have won a glorious victory over them and the result will soon be
seen in a rapid increase in birds and game animals throughout the
whole country. „ ,,, , _.

No more shipping of prairie chickens from Minnesota to Chicago
or New York labeled "poultry." No more shipping venison from
Wisconsin to Michigan or Chicago or New York labeled "veal or
"mutton"- no more shipping of quails from Kansas, Texas. Okla-
homa or the iDdian Territory to Chicago. New York, Boston or
Philadelphia labeled "eegs" or anything else.

No more shipping of bird skinB from Florida, Alabama. Louisiana
or any other State to New York or elsewhere labeled anythiog else
than what they really are. No more contracting for 20,010 birds to
be slaughtered in Maryland, to be shipped to New York; no more
slaughtering of sea gulls on the New EDgland coast or elsewhere in
violation of the laws of any State and snipping them to millinery
bird hogs in New York, no matter how labeled. Here are the pro-
visions of the bill t m „ it_ ■ . ,t

The first section enlarges the dutieB and powers of the Agricultural
Department to include the preservation, distribution, introduction
and restoration of game birds and other wild birds. The tiecretary
of Agriculture is authorized to purchase Buch game and other wild
birds, or their eggs, as may be required therefor, to propagate and
distribute them over depleied areas where it may be possible for sucn
birds to exist and thrive. For instance, prairie chickens may be im-
ported from Nebraska and liberated in the Bhenandoah valley in
Virginia, where, it is believed, they would prosper. The Department
wonld, in all such cases, prescribe rules prohibiting the killing of
Buch birds from five to teD years, and the mere fact that the birds
belong to Uncle Sam would inspire every man and boy with a
wholesorre respect for them. It is a well known fact that where
game birds are liberated by wealthy clubs many farmera' bora take a
fiendish delight in killing them off, but not bo with birds known to
he government wards.

The second section of tbe Lacey Bill prohibits the importation into
the United States of any foreign wild animal or birds, except under
special permit from the Department of Agriculture. Special prohibi-
tion is laid upon the mongoose, the flying foxes, the starling and
other wild birds known to be injurious to agriculture and horti-
culture. If we had had such a law as this thirty yeare ago the Eng-
lish sparrow wonld not to-day have been a public nuisance to the
whole conntry.

The third section of the Lacev Bill prohibits any common carrier
from transporting from one State or Territory to another the dead
bodies or parts thereof of any wild BDimals or birds killed iD viola-
tion of the lawB of the State or Territory in which the same were
killed. . _ . ,

Section 4 provides that ' all packages containing Buch dead animals,
birds or parts thereof, when shipped by interstate commerce, as pro-
vided by section one of this act, shall be plainly and clearly marked,
so that the name and address of the Bhipper and tbe nature of the
contents may be readily ascertained on iospeetion of the outside of
auch packages " „ «... , :

Heavy penalties are provided for violations of either of these pro-
visions. . _ , , .

Section 5 is specially important as regulating the traffic in foreign
game, which is now being carried on in New York and other large
cities, and which enables any unscrupulous game dealer, or hotel
man, or restaurant man, to maintain a fence for the handling and
sale of American game, killed or had in possession in violation of
local laws

Section 5 further provides: "That all dead bodies or parts thereof
of any wild game animals, or game or song birds, transported into any
State or Territory, or remainiDg thereio for ase, coosumplion, sale
or storage therein, shall, upon arrival id su^h State or Territory, be
Bubject to the operation and effect of the laws of such State or Terri-
tory, enacted in the exercise of its police powers, to the same extent
and in the same manner as though such animals or birds had been

firoduced in such State or Territory, and shall not be introduced there-
n in original packages or otherwise."

The passage of the Lacey Bill means a eain of hundreds ot millions
of dollars to the agricultural Interests of this country within the next
twenty years, and the farmer will be proportionately indebted, first,
to the Hon. JohD F. Lacey for his heroic work, and secood to this
league for having made known to the senators and representatives
the will of the people at large and of the farming interest concerning
thla bill.

CARTRIDGE AND SHELL.

The recent unwarranted and abusive attackB on the Board
of Fiah CommissioneiB by the Reddiog Frees aod tbe dis-
torted accounts of the coarse of Deputy Kerchival in the
cases of tbe arrested violators of the deer law has aroused
feeliogs of disgust and surprise on the part of sportsmen in
many localities. The apathetic action of the ReddiDg gun
clubs and sportsmen of that section in this flagrant breach of
the law is a matter wholly incomprehensible.

Tbe facts show that a party of surveyors who were run-
Ding the lines for a twelve mite ditch in Shasta county to be
constructed for tbe Electric Light and Power Compiny, a
wealthy corporation which is erecting a plant on the Mc-
Cloud, were visited in theircamp by Deputy L. N. Kerchival
who found venison in tbe larder ajd also ascertained that
regular supplies of illegally killed deer were received, the
contractors having employed hunters to keep the men in
camp supplied with venisoo. As a result H. W. Weldoo,
F. W. Forlia and Wash Hidengo were arrested and will be
tried on the 2(kh inst. From all accounts the electric com-
pany's men bad been supplied with venisoo for some time
past, the illegal traffic having been conducted with great
secrecy.

Just why the Press Bbould stultify itself and take up tbe
defense of an open and flagrant violation of the game law in
the manner it has is a proposition that has several peculiar
features connected with it.

An Essay on Fly Fishing.

the pleasure of beholding your prostrate foe, beateD in his
own element, forced from it with weapon so weak that if
strength could compete with art you would not be able to
hold him in check for a moment. You feel that you could
not have accomplished such a feat without exercising
patience, ingenuity, cunning of hand and mind; that you
have been putting the good old advice, sauviter in modo, and
that you have just proved that "an ounce of oil goes farther
than a pound of vinegar."

You then realize that fly fishing is a graceful and elegant
art, requiring in the practice so much minute attention and
delicate manipulation, so much quickness of eye and sen-
sitiveness of touch, so much ready apprehension, and which
carries us in its pursuit into the most wild and beautiful
scenery of nature, among mountains and lakes and the clear
and lovely streams that gosh from the higher ranges of hills
or that sing their way through forest, mead and meadow.

PageB unnumbered, with suggestion and sentiment, relative
to fly casting, have ornamented many a volume, writes Alex
Slarbuck in the Cincinnati Enquirer. Advice relative to
the art has been minutely and graphically given and even
the pictorial treatment ha3 been added to illustrate the vari-
ous positions for the cast, yet there is but a single method to
follow, which will enable a person to perfectly acquire a
knowledge of this art, and that is actual practice.

The first ste i, and an important one, is in the selection of
of a rod. This should be as near perfection as it is possible
to achieve, for that is what enables one to make an artistic
cast and with an ease that is a pure delight. It should not
be, for tronting, over ten feet in length and its weight should
range from eight to five ounces, according to the waters and
size of tront to be angled for. If you desire to fish broad
streams and extensive lakes where the frescoed beanies run
from two pounds to six or even seven, you want a seven or
eight ounce rod; if the mountain or meadow brooks, which
yield trout from a few ounces to a pound, a five ounce will be
tbe thing. Tbe rod should be like an enchanter's wandi
well balanced and bend gracefully from tip to butt and built
on honor. In the purchase of this wise judgment should be
used, for you may think when handling the rod at the store
that it has all the requisites, but when put in practice you
find that it does not balance properly, or it may be weak in
in the back, or too pliant, or too stiff, or too slow in its
spring, and then you fully realize its failings and feel as if
you wanted to take the dealer by the throat with more
strength than you grasp the butt of the disappointing rod-
We had a practical exemplification of this in our early tront-
ing days, and Binca then we flitter ourselves that in selecting
a rod we can tell a hawk frooo a hernahaw. A split bamboo
is the best, but in their use great care must be taken of them.

Having selected your rod, you want a reel that should be
exceedingly light and of the very best make. Your line
should not be too heavy nor too light. If too he ivy it
makes a bad delivery by cutting too big a swarth in the
flutter and is too noticeable to the trout; if too light a slight
wind will prevent its being cast with satisfaction. So you
are left to take betwixt and between the golden mean. The
leader for f mall trout should be light and delicate, while for
the big five- pounders you will want imperial salmon gut.
Your flies Bhould receive the same treatment.

Having everything for the angle, the next thing is the
cast, and there is where the art comes to the fore. There are
but two movements in the cast, the delivery and recovery;
or, to put it more plainly, the backward and forward move-
ments. This needs much practice until you have achieved
its mastery. In this you must only use your arm from the
elbow to the wrist; keep the remainder of it, from elbow tu
shoulder, close to your side, for it iB all done with a quick
twitch of the wrist, the arm simply being an adjunct. The
best way to achieve this is to practice with a hook under the
arm and when y> u can keep it in place in casting yon are in
a fair way to master the the trick. When you deliver the
flies you must not let the rod go until the flies are straight-
ened behind you and then, before they strike the water, let
your rod again move slightly forward so as to give lightness
to the drop of the flies, bnt be careful to let no Black line of
line touch tbe water, the flies alone should go there. Keep
the flies in the air behind you and upon the water in front of
you and when you are drawing them toward you do no let
the rod come nearer than an angle of 45 degrees before recov-
ering them and making another cast, but let tbe rod swerve
a 1 ttle to the left of tbe right shoulder so as to avoid a
tangle. If the tip of the rod is over your bead and your
flies are on the water you would, in case a fish "rose," either
miss the fish or, if hooked, break the rod. Besides, the line
cannot be recovered to make another cast while the tip is
above the head.

Long caste, say eighty feet or more, are imposing and showy
and exhibit the reeult of patient and constant practice, but
they are not intended to catch fish successfully. Theflr-
casting tournaments, which will soon be in vogue, are some-
what of a fad and require Borne preparation in advance.
Quite a number of these fincy fly-casters soak their lines in
white lead until they become almost as hard and weighty as
wire and then again rods are especially made to stand consid-
erable of a strain, which such a line requires. A thirty or
forty foot cast is all that is necessary, but it is well enough to
have these little side BbowB, for it gathers in assembly a
happy coterie of anglers who dearly enjoy these contests.

Practice the movements edvised for awhile, and when you
have got them down to a fine point strive to coax a trout to
your line and you will soon learn that victory ib only to be
obtained by gentleness; and when the battle is over you have

Among the sporting events to take place at the Paris Ex-
hibition is an angling competition, which is arranged for
AugUBt 5th and the followiog dayB uotil the contest is ended.
The tournament will be between persons of both sexes over
18 yeare of age, and will lake place between the Iena Bridge
and the Bridge of Grenelle, in the left branch of the lie des
Cygnes. All French and foreign line fisherB, individuals or
members of clubs, will be allowed to compete after paying an
entry fee of 3 francs, payable before June 15th. The lists of
all the entered competitors, names, professions and addresses,
arranged by countries and provinces for foreign countries,
mUBt arrive before Tone 15th. The lists from foreign coun-
tries muBt be sent to M. Hoyaux, rue Surcouf, 9, at Paris.
The space on the bank of the river being limited, the com-
petitors will be arranged in groups of about 200 fishers.
Four of these groups will compete each day, and tbe length
of the competition will be limited to exactly one hour.
French clubs will compete with foreign clubs. It is stipu-
lated that fishers not belonging to a club must as much as
possible compete at tbe same time as members of clubs
of their country. Prizes of the value of 300 francs will
be distributed between ten winners, and these prizes may
be increased. First prize will be of the value of 200 francs,
and will be awarded to the taker of the heaviest fish. Nine
other prizes will be distributed to the fishers who catch the
greatest number of fish; in case of equality of number the
weight will determine. The tackle must be single line, fur-
nished with two hooks at the most. The use of landing net
will be allowed, but no fhher shall aid another. Lures can
be thrown out at will. The ten winners of each series wil
have the right to take part in tbe honor competition, which
will follow immediately after the first contest. Prizes of a
total value of 3000 francs at least will be distributed among
the winners of the honor contest-

Advices concerning the black bass in the body of water
situated some seven miles distant from Milton and known as
the Salt 8priog Valley reservoir are very enconraging for
the angler's chances of sport with tbe gamey black bass in
tbe future.

This piece of water is quite an imposing lake covering an
area of about 800 acres. The reservoir was designed to sup-
ply water for mining purposes, a dam having been built
across (he valley; the utility of its original purpose having
passed, the lake, however, still remains. The pioneer Btock
of fish in this water were carp and catfish, the former being
very plentiful up to about four years ago and completely
filled the lake but are now very scarce, although carp of six
to eight pounds in weight are occasionally seen. Catfish are
not nearly as numeroos as they have been and are gradually
being thinned out. The water of the lake is quite clear, par-
ticularly so near the shores. Several years ago the reservoir
was stocked with about 300 two year old large mouthed black
. bass and also some 3000 small mouthed black bass fry. That
tbe stocking was successful is evidenced by schools of email
bass frequently seen jumping in the shallows at intervals dur-
ing the day and evening. Fish of quite a respectable eize
have been caught by anglers from time to time The bottom
of tbe lake being of rocky formation the set-back to a natural
growth of vegetation was overcome bv tbe planting of water
lillies by the Fish Commissioners. This arrangement for
the purpose of creating necessary and proper oonditions for
breeding and refuge and also a field for propagating tbe
many forms and varieties of water life that fish feed upon iB
meeting with success; the lillies have flourished and are now
beginning to make an excellent showing. Recently another
aqueous plant, the water hyacinth, has been placed in the
lake in good quantity; favorable results are sanguinely ex-
pected by the Commissioners.

Last Sunday at Pilarcitos lake, fly and spoon anglers met
with poor success, the bait fishermen were the only lucky
ones. The weather was cold, damp and foggy. Peter
McRae caught a number of nice sized fish as did bis friend
L. L. Long, this trip being his first angle in California.
Mr. Long was quite a skillful devotee to the gente art whilst
in Montana and showed that be bad not forgotten how to
handle his rod when he cast tbe "Montana flip" with a
spoon.

Deputy Fish Commissioner Cbas. Vogelsang last Saturday
arrested John Epperson and H. Donner, both of Milton; W.
Harvey, of Stockton, and ThoB. En pan, of Copperopolfi, for
illegally catcbiog black bass in Salt Kprirg Valley reservoir,
a sheet of water about seveo miles from Milton.

A magnificent mounted specimen of the leaping Tuna can
be seen at the sporting goods bouse of the H. E. Skinner Co.
The fish was caught and landed after a desperate fight by an
angler at Santa Catalina Island, its weight was 188 pound?
when brought to gaff.

Striped bass fishermen are catching fish galore in tbe
estuary across the bay; the waters tributary to Pelaluroa
creek are also yielding manr fish. Salt water eels are being
caught plentifully at Sausalito.

A Fish and Game Protective Association will be organ-
ized by Santa Cruz sportsmen.

Salmon are taking the hook in the Sacramento near I
and in tributary streams.

A meeting of delegates from the different specialty clubs
was held in the office of the Breeder and Sportsman on
Mondav evening for the purpose of arranging preliminary
details for the Oakland and Tanforan Park bench shows.
There were present Messrs. J. B. Martin and N. H. Hick-
man, Pacific Fox Terrier Clnb; Philip C. Meyer and Mr.
Luttrell St. Bernard Cla ; Phil Fay and R. H. Koantree,
Pacific Boll Terrier Club. The committee will meet again
on the 18th inst.

When doegy affairs are apparently dull and lethargic in
San Fraoci6co, this particular neck of the woods can always
be depended upon to spring something in the nature of a
sensation along the line of kennel interests. The latest
aspirant for sensational honors is a well known Fox Terrier
fancier who, as a member of the bench show committee, took
an active part in the May bench show.

On Tuesday morning last three Fox Terriers were follow-
ing a man on a bicycle near the Stanyan street entrance to
Golden Gate Park. They were Bpied by three deputy pound-
men who were in charge of the municipal wagon for stray
dogs. None of the Fox TerrierB wore license tags; two of
them were caught in a net by the deputies and placed in the
pound wagon. The owner was irate and demanded the
release of his dogs, claiming that he paid both the license
and a tax on his ■: ogs, and suggesting that if the minions of
the law would accompany him to his residence two blocks
away, he could prove his assertions that the dogs should he
exempt from seizure. He was told to apply at the pound for
the animals and recover his property according to the legal
method.

The owner of the captured dogs was in no mood to parley
further but posted of} on his bike and in a short time was
back on the (rail of the marauders with a shot gun in his
hand and the light of determination in his eye. The raiders
were Boon discovered and then the outfit was held up in true
Black Bart style— "My dogB or your life!" was the com-
mand as the dog catchers gszed into the muzzle of a breech
loader. The despoiled dog owner was jollied with while he
convoyed the wagon along until a point was reached where
telephone connection was made with another branch of the
municipal government, when shortly the hold up was inter-
viewed by a policeman who disarmed him and placed him
under arrest, charged with assault and threats to kill. He
was released on bail later, he then .proceeded to the pound
and Becured his dogs. As he took them away he explained
that he was a pigeon shot of no little note and could wing
eleven out of twelve birds at the traps. He also imparted
the cheerful information that if the policeman had not ar-
rived so soon and there had been any more fooling he would
have winged a,_dog taker or two.

An evening paper in giving the story unblushisgly , stated
that the dog owner was "a sportsman who has done more to
advance the higher order of dog-breeding here than almost
any enthusiast in the city." Who is next? It's up to some-
body to keep the game going.

Bench Show in Denver.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Pacific Fox Terrier Club meet on Monday evening.

Entries for the 1900 Derby close on July 1st, the announce-
ment for which appears in our advertising columns.

Mr. J. P. Norman has had the misfortune to lose his
young imported Mastiff Dagonet Montez, a dog that prom-
ised to be a most important influence in keeping up the
standard of quality of this grand breed on the Pacific Coast.

Phil Fay recently lost, under suspicious circumstances, a
fine young Bull Terrier dog pup, the youngster ban easily be
identified as he has but three toes on the left hind foot,
having lost the fourth toe during a scrap with another dog.

Two litters of Bull Terrier puppies sired by Bloomsbury
Baron are looked upon with much favor by the Bull Terrier
men. One litter by Fay and Gleason's Woodote Queen
seems t j be more than ordinarily good stock, another whelp-
ing of seven out of Storkwell's Peggy is spoken of highly by
several gentlemen who have seeh them.

Minstrel Karney strolled into the Hoffman Cafe one after-
noon recently. At his heela followed his dog, Major Mc-
Corker, a fairly good looking Iri?h Watering Spaniel. It
was plain, from bis actions, that the dog kaew he had no
business there. A colored attendant touched Karney on the
arm. "Beg pardon, sir," said he, "you must not brine that
dog in heab 1 "

"Dog I dog!" exclaimed Karney, "dem th1 dog I G'wan
you, Majel X told him to stay out," and he made as if to
kick the dog, which darted out of the place.

"That's my hardware dog," remarked Karney.

"Hardware dog ? ' aeked Weonilz Dunne. "Queer name.
Why do you call him that? "

"Why ? Why, every time I kick at him he makes a bolt
for the door," and he hurried ont and was lost in the crowd
before the bystanders had a chance to do the "bear dance"
with him.

There is nothing more offensive to a lover of bright,
healthy dogs than the obese, wheezy, waddling, pampered
house pet. These dogs are occasionally subject to a form of
dropsy, which usually affects the abdomen. It is brought
about in various ways, but the commonest cause is undoubt-
edly bad feeding. The animals most often affected are
those which are kept indoors, and, as a result, are liable to
become pampered by overfeeding — a phase of kindness which
we have often dwelt upon in this column. This induces
obstruction of the liver, and other complications then ensue.
The only rational treatment for such cases is semi-starvation.
Only the coarsest, plainest foods should be given, and the
animal should have all the exercise possible. Oar Dogs
sugge ts a very good medicine in these cases— calomel, the
dose of which would be suggested by a competent chemist for
any particular animal. We do not as a rule recommend
calomel for dogs, but its effect on the liver is so excellent
that in this particular complaint it can be given with the
greatest benefit.

The Rearing of Puppies.

The Denver dog show opened on the 1st inst. under favor-
able auspices. This was the first bench show given in that
city since 1883. The revival in doggy affairs shows a
heal thy jinterest in dogs and matters of the fancy, it is possible
that a kennel club will be organized on a permanent basis
as a result of the exhibition. The judges of the show were
Walter Cecil Cox, all breeds excepting Collies judged by
Mrs. Band and St. Bernards judged by E. N. Burr.

A number of high class dogs were benched. Two that
come under that category are a pair of St. Bernards entered
by W. Ballantyne. One of these royally bred animals is
owned by Ballantyne. His name is Youngly Prince, and he
1b a son of F. J. Gould's Champion Le Prince. Ballantyne
also entered the champion St. Bernard Salvini. Another
high class St. Bernard entered was Frank English's. Major
William Cooke Daniels entered his two imported British
Bulldogs and a valuable pair of English Setters, who are
field trial winners. Charley Hoeckel benched two Russian
Wolf Hounds and the Bartel Bros, had their famous Grey-
hound Boomerang on show.

The awards were as follower

When a litter of puppies has arrived in the world one of
the first things to do is to Bee that they are comfortably set-
tled down with the mother, and that the number of them
does not exceed what she can reasonably be expected to rear.
It is a very good plan whenever valuable puppies are ex-
pected, to arrange to have a foster mother ready in case of
need; then there is not only a chance of saving all the
puppies, by being prevented from the necessity of reducing
their number, but there is also greater chance of preserving
the health of their mother by reducing her responsibilities
*0 the rearing of one or two at the most. The puppies them_
selves will also grow more rapidly and more strongly, so thai
in every way it is well to provide a foster-mother.

It should be also ascertained a few hours after birth
whether the mother appears to have a sufficiency of milk for
the puppies. If Bhe hae, and if they all appear to be com-
fortable together, matters will be sure to progress satisfac-
torily, failing some unexpected accident, and the mind of
the owner can be easy in consequence.

The less interference young puppies have the better. It wil|
be necessary to see that their mother has a sufficiency of exer-
cise, and it may be rather difficult to persuade her, especially
at first, to leave her offspring. She must therefore be gently
coaxed away from them, and should be quickly removed out
of their sight and hearing. This is best done when they
seem quiet and inclined to sleep, not when they are exhibit,
ing a tendency to play, because then they will setup a howl-
ing, and the bitch will want to get back to them, whereas if
she is taken away when they are quiet she can be removed
to some distance, and will then think the leas about them and
enjoy her exercise more. Unless the bitch has proper exer-
cise when Bhe is rearing puppies they will not thrive, because
she herself will not be in a sufficiently good state of health
to face her responsibilities to the full.

The feeding of the mother must be systematic, and her
diet should be as varied as possible. Plenty of good liquid
or semi-liquid fcod, such as milk, broth made by toiling
sheep's head, gravy, stew and such like, are all useful, One
thing should be borne in mind, and that is that it is as well
for the mother to have food when rearing puppies that is not
very much different from that she has been accustomed to
have before, as a sudden change, such, for instance, as would
be caused by giving her an unusually large amouot of vege-
table food, would probably disturb her digestive system alto-
gether, and the puppies would suffer in consequence.

The puppies will begin to lap up a little milk themselves
at the age of eighteen or twenty days, and at the end of a
month they will begin to take a little solid food. This is
perhaps the most critical period period in the early life of a
puppy; it is the age at which worms are most likely to de-
velop, also diarrhoea and teething fits, and many other little
ailments of pnppy-hood. All these things depend in a very
wide degree upon the food, both its quality and its quantity.
To hasten slowly is the golden rule in bringing up puppies,
and it is far better to keep them back a little than to allow
them to go forward too rapidly. As soon as they have
learned to lap up a little they will become very greedy, and
unless their appetites are regulated they will be sure to suffer
in consequence.

Now, a word or two about the chief ailments which affsct
small puppies. They are, first of all, worms, sDd everyone
who has anything to do with puppies knows that these must
be kept in check. A mild aperient powder given occasion-
ally will help to keep the puppies clear of them, and may
obviate the necessity for giving strong medicines until they
are v. ell developed; and it must be borne in mind that they
always involve a great deal of risk, and if it be thought advis-
able to give a dose of worm medicine — well, that risk must
be undertaken. There is nothing much better for puppies
than areca nut, a small dose of which should be given first
thing in the morning, followed in half an hour or so by some
castor oil. Do not be misled by any specious advertisements
of wonderful powders to dissolve worms. There is nothing
new under the sun, and if such a thing were possible it would
not have been necessary to wait to the end of the century be-
fore the medical and pharmaceutical world has discovered it.

Diarrhoea in puppies, as a ru'e, is a sign of worms, the
diarrhoea being caused by intestinal inflammation which
these pests originate. It may, however, be due to unsuitable
food or to indigestion, brought about by food that is too
heavy for them; and here comes in the necessity for feeding
puppies only sparingly with solid food.

Fits will occur either as a result of worms or from im-
proper feeding, but often they are due to the effects of teeth-
ing, being, therefore, a sort of convulsion of a simitar nature
to that from which infants suffer when teething The proper
treatment consists in giving a little medicine composed of
rhubarb and bromide of potassium. This can be made up
of proper strength by any suitable chemist, and a dose of it
should be given at any time when the puppy seems to be out
of Borte. — Fanciers' Keview.

THE FARM.

A Simple Way to Make Cheese.

Kfc;* Qveeltvc ,*«& $v&vt*maxu

The making of cheese is a very simple
process and almost anyone can turo out a
good article with little practice, I will give
a method by which anvone can make cheese
successfully. Take evening's milk aod strain
it into some clean vessel and let it stand in s
cool place until morning. Evening's milk
should be warmed to about ninety-six degrees
before adding morning's milk. A good way
to warm it is to set a pail of boiling water
into the milk. Prepare the rennet by soak-
ing in one gallon of warm water for twenty'
four hours before using. Add as much salt
as it will dissolve, strain, let settle and it is
ready for use.

Use a tableepoonful for each three gallons
of milk. If it is much over half an hour in
coming increase the quantity, if much less de-
crease it. Ae soon as it is well curdled take a
knife and cut the curd into blocks so that the
whey can escape. As booh as the whey is
mostly out of the curd take a basket and place
a cloth in it so as to receive the curd. As
the curd hardens continue to strain off the
whey. Chop the curd fine, add salt — one
ounce to each five pounds of curd — and it is
ready for the press. Put the curd in a tin
hoop made like a peck measure without a
bottom. It is a good idea to have two sizes,
as the amount of curd will differ at times.

Almost anyone with a few tools and a little
ingenuity can construct a press that will an-
swer the purpose very well. A simple way is
to mortise a beam into a post so that it can
work up or down and hang a weight to the
outer eod of the beam. The hoop with a
curd in it should be turned or reversed every
eight or ten hours. From eighteen to twenty
hours is generally long enough to press a
cheese. Now comes the curing period, which
requires considerable care and attentioo. The
cheese when taken from the press should be
rubbed with lard and a bandage of new muslin
pinned loosely around it. The cheese must
be greaeed every day. Do not remove the
bandage, but apply the grease on it. In from
four to five weeks the cheese should be ready
for home use or market. — J. M. Smith in
Denver Field and Farm.

A prominent farmer and stock bree er in
one of the central counties in California
twenty years ago imported from the East sev-
eral thoroughbred registered Durhams, and
stocked his farm with them. While he was
an admirer of fine cattle, he neglected to reg-
ister the young stock raised from his imported
cows, and at the present time has no registered
animals on bis farm. During the past few
months he has had a number of buyers look-
ing over his herd cf yearlings and has missed
a number of saleB because they were not reg-
istered. That they are all thoroughbreds ie
claimed by the owner and not disputed bv
unyone who knows him, but he is compelled
to take beef prices when he could get breed-
ing stock prices had he kept careful accounts
of his stock and duly registered them.

To test the fattening properties of alfalfa a
meat company bought a band of cattle,
weighed and divided them — one-half of which
were fed on alfalfa alone. At the end of the
fattening season it was found that the cattle
fed on alfalfa weighed 150 pounds the moBt,
at a cost of $7 a bead lees than those that
were Btall fed, and the meat of the former
was pronounced superior in quality to that
fattened on grain. — Farm and Home.

Montana has a $1260 damage suit agaiDst
one of the inspectors who dipped a lot of 250
head of the fine Rambouillet rams that were
shipped to a breeder in that 8tate from Ore-
gon. As Boon as the 6heep arrived the in-
spector dipped them and they immediately
beean to die, so that 150 were loBt inside of
five days and the remainder were unfit for
service. An analysis was made of the dip
when it was found that the inspector had made
it two or three times strooger than waB neces-
sary or than the State law called for. The
intestices of the dead animals were examined,
showing signs of carbolic acid poisoning.

The Lincoln breed of sheep has sprung into
prominence through the intrinsic merit of
the breed, as combined wool and mutton ani-
mals, and for their quality of transmitting
their good points in crossing on other breeds.
The Lincoln is the finest wooled of all the
long-wool breeds, carries the largest amount
of oil, has the most lustrous wool of any
breed, with the greatest textile strength, and
will shear a fleece from ten to thirty pounds.
As breeders they stand without a peer, twins
and triplets being common.

The old Hereford breeder, C. H. Elmen-
dorf of Lincoln, Ne braska, is engaged in a big
sheep deal with T. B. Catron of New Mexico.
Mr. Elmendorf has been scouring the San
Angelo country for sheep with which to stock
a 3,000,000 acre grant in New Mexico. He
has aeenred options on 15,000 head and it ia
said he will contract 25,000 or 30,000 in
Texas.

D. R. Cassiday, one of the oldest sheepmen
of Rawlins, Wyoming, is arranging to dispose
of his flockB and remove to Oregon. He sayB
that the ranges are becoming bo crowded that
when the first bad winter comes sheepmen
will lose heavily. He wishes to get oat before
the crash comes.

AT SAORAMENrO'S TRACK.

Many Horses Getting Ready for the Races—
The Track to Be in Perfect Shape.

When the harness horses reach the Sacramento track this
year at State Fair time, there should be some record break-
ing. The top dressing of six inches of yellow clay that has
rectntly been pnt on the track ie already nicely packed and
in good shape for fast work. It has, under the superinten-
dence of Director Wilson and track superintendent Mc-
Donald, been very evenly distributed over the service be-
tween the inside and outside rails for the full mile, and is as
smmoth as S'fioor. The horses that start at Sacramento will
have excellent footing this year. The trainers now at the
track say it is the "best ever," although they were put back
a little in their work while the new soil was being pieced.

"Vet" Tryon is one of tht unlucky ones who has a grand
lot of horses in his care, and is bewailing the fact that he
has nothing ready to start at the opening of the circuit at
Santa Rosa. Daring the time the track was being treated,
every horse in his string fattened up, so that it will take at
least six weeks' work to get them in condition to race. There
are a dczen horses under his care— half of which he intends
starting in the races this year. His first start will be at
Colusa. Daedalion 2:11 has filled out ioto a magnificent
stallion, very like his sire Diablo in conformation, with a
gait that resembles that of the old horse in every particular*
He will pace close to 2:<)6 before his racing days are over if
he keeps right. Princess Wilkes 2:30 is a trotting mare that
all the rail birds have entered in their books as one that will
do to bet on when she starts. She is a handsome bay mare
by Clarence Wilkes and out of a daughter of Dexter Prince.
She has been a mile in 2:20 this year before she took advan-
tage of the enforced rest and took on about a hundred pounds
extra flesh that will have to come off before she will be ready
to negotiate three fast successive heats.

A gelding by Knight, the sire of Anaconda, and out of a
mare b Algona, the sire of Flying Jib, is another that will
make a record for himself and add to the reputation of the
farm whereon he was bred. Hijo del Diablo 2 : 1 1 A , like all
others in this s.ring, is high in flesh, but looks good enough
to go faster than ever when the time comes. There is a
three year old under Mr. Tryon's care that is worthy of note
in any company. He belongs to George Fox and is by his
stallion Silver Bow and out of the dam of Daedalion 2:11.
He is a trotter. Among the other "fat ones" in Mr. Tryon's
strirg are Vortex, a green pacer by Easter Wilkes owned by
J. E. Terry, a green five year old by Mendocino out of the
dam of Maud Merrill 2:18, both of which are more than
good prospects.

James Sullivan, the well known reinsman who has trained
and driven some of the best ones ever raced in California, is
another teamster whose horses are not readv to go to the
Santa Rosa races. They received a little preparation at
Chico and were taken to Sacramento just as the work of re-
soiling began on the track, so that they are very "short"
JQBl now. Mr. Sullivan has Fitz Lee 2:13:]-, Monte Carlo, a
□>e year old by Mendocino that moves as though he would
get a low record when fit, and John Boggs, a five year old
pacer by Mendocino that has beaten 2:20, but is not qnite
equal as yet to the speed required to win in the green pacing
classes. These he brought down from Chico, and has since
received from Walnut Grove Stock Farm the well known
trotting mare Sable Frances 2:17}, and Msjella B , the pacing
mare by Xusbagak that was raced some ,in 1S93 but failed to
get a record though she was timed in some of her races better
than 2:15. Mr, Sullivan says Santa Rosa ought to have the
greatest trotting meeting held in California for years now
that book betting is to be barred.

P. W. Hodges is training a string which he brought np
from Los Angeles and has added to since, that he will take to
Santa Rosa and probably get some of the money with. Hazel
Kinney 2:12} looks and acts as though the 2:10 list would he
graced by her name before the frost is on the "punkin."
Hodges has a gray or rather a white trotter by Ed Wilkes
out of an A. W. Richmond mare (which accounts for his
color) that will be one of the attractive features of the races
in which he starts. He has a world of speed, is a big grand
looking horse, lifts hie feet like a hackney, and has a bold
stroog way of going that with his color draws all eyes to
him as he goes by. He will be the "gray ghost of 1900" on
the California circuit.

The most advanced string at the track is the one trained
by 8 H. Hoy, whose business affairs keep him at home in
Winters about half the time, though he manages to spend
about four days eacb week at the track. His sensational
horse of last year, Kelly Briggs 2:10£, will be good in biB
class this year, which ie pretty high praise, as this will be a
high ola«s lot of horses. McNally 2:20 has worked a mile in
2:17 within the past week, and Demonio, the fall brother to
Diablo, is going like the real thing in his work. Sam has a
little yellow dab pacer that is called Yellow Jacket and is by
Silver King 2:20}. This fellow has a stripe in his face and
a lot of white feet and can pace a quarter so close to 30 sec-
onds that the fraction which represents the overtime ie very
.■ uiall. He don't bok as though he would like more than
hree heats, but there is no telling what he will do when he
ets into an actual race. Mr. Hoy will race at Santa Rosa*

Wm. Ivey, who trains for Tuttle Bros., of Rocklin, lost a
lot of sleep last week and several pounds of flesh besides.
The premier of his string, the grand young stallion Stam B.
2:llj, was the cause of it. Stam B. had an acute attack of
colic that made them think he was about to die and it took a
couple of veterinaries all night to bring him out of it. But
he was kicking about very lively on Monday and Mr. Ivey -
lost that ead expression he had carried for two days. Slam
B. ie moving very smoothly this year and about State Fair
time should make another pleasant holiday for the Rocklin
people who will certainly be present if he starts. He is
going to make a great stock horse. His get all look like him
and all trot like him. There is a very handsome three year
old filly by him out of Klikitat Maid 2:19, in Mr. Ivey's care
that looks like a good thing to have a ticket on when she
starts. A colt by Zombro out of Belle Medium dam of Stam
B. looks very much like his eire and is trotting like a future
winner. A good two year old out of the same mare, and
sired by Dictatus is big enough to make one think him a
three year old and is a Red Wilkes all over. He is a Equare
trotter.

When the writer found H. 8. Hogoboom he was discours-
ing on the breeding of a young stallion he was holding by
a halter strap and when the reader, who knows "Huck," is
informed that the stallion is by Diablo 2:0yJ, ont of a mare
by WaldBtein 2:22J, he can imagine for himself how the
changes were being rung on the Electioneer-Director-ChaE.
Derby-Stein way crosses. Monroe 8aliebury once said that if
Hogoboom could have married a female women's rights
orator, the two minute talker would have resulted, "Hi"
has bred and trained a good many fast horses and is etill at
it. He has a very handsome three year old black filly now
whose breeding is aB rich ae her looks. Her sire is Wald-
stein, son of Director and a mare by Electioneer, her dam by
Guy Wilkes, Becond dam Rosebud by Del Sur, third dam
Blanche, the dam of Hazel Wilkes 2:11!, U°a WilkeB 2:15(
Guyaon 2:24, Native Son 2:26}, and Silver Spray 2:28, fourth
dam Nancy, a daughter of the old twenty mile trotter, Gen.
Taylor. This filly is black as a coal, clean limbed and
rangy and can trot fast. She ought to make a great brood-
mare when her racing days are over and have a low record
to retire on.

Mr. Hogoboom recently purchased an eight year old son
of Sable Wilkes that is one of the handsomest and biggest
little horses we have seen for some time. A little light
boned from the knees down, though his legs are like those o
a thoroughbred and he can trot a 2:08 clip. His dam was a
full sister to Annabelle, therefore by Dawn, and out of
Pacheco, thoroughbred mare by Hubbard. He ought to not
only trot to a fas* record, but should sire speed of a high rate-
A three year old filly by Advertiser out of a full sister to
Gus Wilkes 2:22, which belongs to James Tonhey, has shown
Mr. Hogoboom a quarter in 36 seconds already and is a
pretty fair prospect for the summer races. As handsome a
colt as was ever foaled is a yearling by Zombro 2:11 out of a
mare by St. Louie which Hogoboom had the harness on for
for the first time a few days ago. It is the property of Mr.
Trefry and excites the admiration of all.

"The Breeders Association has done two grand things this
year," said Mr. Hogoboom Monday. "It has abolished book
betting at its meeting and opened a big futurity stake.
Every horseman in California should show his appreciation
of its action by entering as many horses as possible at Santa
Rosa, and namipg as many mares as possible in the slake.
Stakes are the life of the trotting horse business, and book'
making its greatest enemy.'1

Trainer Donnelly has a small siring, but it consists of a
speedy pair. The green pacer Stanton Wilkes by Nutwood
Wilkes out of a mare by Dan Yoorhees is working like a
race horee and has paced a mile very close to 2:15 within a
week. He is a big strong looking horse, hie sides flecked
with gray hairs. "Red" hae him in good shape and Mr.
Bruner, manager ol Porter Bros. Fruit Company, will enter
him at the Breeders meeting. Lou 2:14X by Ira, out of
Electra by Newlands Hambletonian is also under Donnelly's
care and is looking and acting well. When Billy Donathan
had this mare in 1893 she trotted a good many faat miles, but
struck snch hot company that she won very few races. She
was not out last year.

Tom Holmes hae quite a string of trotters and hopes to be
able to ride up in front a few times during the season. He
has a full sister to Stanton Wilkes that he has worked in
2:40, a four year old gelding by Don Marvin, dam by Mor-
timer, a pacer by Wilkes (son of Nutwood Wilkes) out of a
mare by Fallis, a four year old by Arthur Holt, dam a mare
by Jerome Eddy, and two or three others. The s allion
Arthur Holt is also in the string. He is a stout built horse
and has that wear and tear look that gives one the idea that
he would campaign well. He is ten years old and was bred
in New York. His eire is George Sherman, a son of Sher-
man, he by George Wilkes, and his dam Lady Jerome by
Jerome Eddy. Arthur Holt hae no record and has never
started, but will be raced this year in all probability.

A. Walden, who reduced Dave Ryan's record to 2:13 at
Stockton last year, has the horse in training again, and ie also
handling Silver Bee 2:27$, Jo Bower's good looking son of
Silver Bow. Both are in good ehape and should do to race.
Mr. Walden has a four year old by Dave Ryan and a two
year old by Algona that are quite promising.

W. Clark, Nelson McDonald, Wm. Irvine, Frank Wright
and several others are each working a few horses at the
track, some of them being made read ya for the race next
Sunday. The weather hae been just right for fast work dur-
ing the past week and the track on workout days looks
almost as lively as it does during the State Fair.

The Race Meet at Santa Kosa.

HARVEY WABDK PECK.

One of the principal events of this season's racing will be
the meeting at this place of the Trotting Horse Breeders*
Association. Their entry liBt is always large and calls out,
the best light harness horees in California. The track is in
better condition than it ever has been, and ie in such condi-
tion, moreover, that it can readily be kept at the top notch
by a reasonable degree of labor. "Old Sonoma," the old
reliable, is again to the front with a bountiful harvest of
fruit, grapes and hay, while feed of every kind, although
now on the wane, has been more prolific than any year in the
laet ten. Hay is abundant and cheap, with a large exceee o*
old hay which was carried over from laBt year by the specu-
lators. Sometimes the speculator gets on the grill as well a8
the dear public, and laet year's operations in the hay market
was a practical example of thie fact.

Horses are arriving at the track and once in a while some
"new one" is stepped along, just to see if he will ever do to
carry the money. I found one the other day that seemed to
promise great things. She is a daughter of Anteeo, and an
Italian rejoices in her ownership. He lives on the Coast,
where the lapping wavee drift lazily over the sand, and act
as constant reminders of the sublimity of the vasty deep.
In explaining to me the probable speed of his mare, he stated
that he had driven her from Fish Rock to some other little
weird place (a distance of five miles) in twelve and one-half
minute- 1 When I suggested that such a clip over a country
road was rather fast, he slowly removed his pipe from his
mouth, and said: ''Ob! she be fasta plenty. I coma down
this a way abouta the time beeg trota this sum! £ tank I
skeen the boys 1 "

So when he arrives the green classes want to take a holi-
day.

There is a Chinese plunger in town that ie preparing him-
self to become a menace to the pool box and the festive book-
maker when they arrive and open out for businees. He is
from Colorado and is said to bet money like a thoroughbred
takes a fence. His earlier exploits upon the turf were not
singularly successful and the following rhyme I wrote for him
at a meeting in Denver. He had it translated into hie native
language and regards it ae a work of art, which is slightly
more than even 1 claimed for it :

Leong Ah Sid, the "Chines Kid"
Went out to the meet one day,
With little Ah Sin, who had no tin
With which to pay his way;
Sid was a sport of the proper sort.
And given to baching the horses,
So he loosened his sack and took a crack
At the books and their resources.

He bet on the raceB, at all the places-
It was his day to shine,
But alack and alas, it came to pass,
He never was "in the line."
At last at night, this hasty night,
Broke Sid in two in the middle,
While to little Ah Sin, who had no tin,
The whole thing seemed a riddle.

On trot and ran, poor Sid was done

As brown as his complexion ;

In Cantonese, of high degrees,

He caroled his dejection ;

No more for bim, with queue so trim,

This dizzy whirl and bustle,

He bid farewell, said "what fell"

And started ont to rustle.

Between this sportive heathen and the Fish Rock trotter
something ought to be doing.

Mr. Quinn, who was along the line last season with Arthur
W. and John A., is now the proprietor of the Occidental
Hotel in this city, and has made a good record as a hotel
man. He will make every possible preparation for the com-
fort of the horsemen during the coming meeting and I can
answer for the fact that when he "speeds the parting guest,"
at the end of the week, they will have nothing with which to
find fault.

The attendance thie year will undonbtedly eclipse that of
last year, as more interest is manifested at present than in
several years last paet.

It'e a pleasant trip — across the bay in a steamer and
through a beautiful country by train — only fifty miles from
San Francisco, wi h ten trains a day coming and going.

The colt Young Axtell, which won the German trotting
Derby, was bred by W. P. Ijams, of Terre Haute, Ind., who
6old him to £. Klioge, of Hamburg, Germany, in 1897.
Young Axtell is a three year old by Axtell 2:12, dam Bessie
Wilkes, by Hambletonian Wilkee, dam by Maeterlode. Mr.
Ijams has at Warren Park Farm a four year old brother to
Young Axtell that can trot very fast"

" Upon what authority do you swear to the age of the
mare ? " asked an attorney. ,( I'm sure of it," was the reply.
Half a dozen more questions failed to elicit from the witness
any more specific answer. "But how do you know?"
thundered the lawyer at last. *• I had it from the mare's
own mouth 1 " replied the hostler.

The match race between Praytell and Maxine, at Phila-
delphia, is positively en*. Mr. McCargo will be allowed to
draw his forfeit and an amicable adjustment made. Praytell
has been retired from training.

Los Angeles Driving Olub Race Matinee.

Arrangements have been completed by members of the Lob
ADgeles Driving Club for a race matinee at Agricultura
Park, Saturday, June 29th. A program of fine races has
been arranged, including running and harness events, and
the entry list is open to gentlemen who will drive their own
animals.

The most important trotting race will be the free-for-all
half-mile dash, in which are entered Medico, by Dr. J. Des-
mond; Irene Crocker, by M. M. Potter; Chico, by E. E.
Browne; Photo, by F. G. Schumacher, and Willard Stim-
son's Sophia R.

A special half-mile pace, two heats in three, will bring out
a field of four starters. M. M. Potter has entered Primrose,
a wonderful animal that is credited with having paced a
half-mile in 0:59. Burley F-, entered by H. G. Bundrem,
is a fast one, as is Cash, entered by John Cline. F.
Humphrey's Nellie B, is also a strong factor in this event*

A mile heat for mixed class will bring out Buttons, en
tered by Dr. Bert Ellis; George, by Dr. George Cole; Flor-
etta Belle, by Byron Erkenbrecher; Dolly D., by D. J. Des-
mond; Tom, by Dr. Moore, and Guide, by Walter Newhall.

A race that promises to be of much interest is a mile trot-
ting event, two in three heats. In this are entered M. M.
Potter's 8iBter; Billy Green, by Godfrey Frilz; A. "W. Her-
wig's Pet; Harry Winchester, by F. E. Browne; Belle, by K.
V. Bedpatb, and D J. Desmond's Little Crocker.

The one running event on the program will be a half mile
dash, in which entries will be made by W. H. Green, M. M,
Potter, J. G. Mott and J. Desmond.

It is expected that the Riverside Driving Club will enter
some of the crack animals from that section.

An effort is being made by the driving club to secure
control of Agricultural Park, and if this effort is successful
several meets will be held this summer. — Lob Angeles

Trotting Bred Stock for Australia.

son's Alta Norte and John Erwin'B Edison in 1:07}, 1:06}.

Mark. Patton's stallion Ml. Hood won the trotting race over
J. A. Boddely's Oveto in 2:28,2:27 and 1:13, the last beat
being only half mile. Jobn Haily'B horse won the road race
and Baby Rath the half mile running race.

Edward Blewett, manager of the Oregon Horse and Land
Company, with ranges on the Owvbee country, says that the
Bale of horses recently made by the company was to Parker
& Banvlck, of Illinois, and included 5000 head. The horses
are purchased for the purpose of supplying the farmers of
Iowa and Illinois, who are suffering from a great scarcity
owing (o the heavy shipments to Europe, especially to the
Phillipines and to South Africa.

The horses will be shipped in lots and the second ship-
ment of 700 will be made on June 1st. They are consigned
to different towns in those two stateB.

Mr. Blewett says that Dave Shea, Con Shea and Wm.
Jones, who are large hoise raisers, have sold their horses
one party recently buying 10,000 head to ship Eist, where
they will be sold to the farmers.

The demand for horses is something unprecedented in
Eastern Oregon, as horse raisers sold short the past two or
three years.

Cleveland Track Notes.

Lucille Defeats Cobwebs.

There were shipped on the steamer Mariposa, which sailed
for Sydney, New South Wales, last Wednesday, four horses
consigned to Alex. Robertson, Supt., The Ranch, Glen Roy,
Victoria, Australia. The horses were bred at Rosedale Stock
Farm, Santa Rosa, and the price paid for them was $3000,
They were purchased a few weeks ago by Mr. Frank Deniaon
Brown, a wealthy resident of Sydney, who is now in Wash-
ington, D. C, on a business trip. Thos. Bonner brought the
horses to this city this week and attended to the shipment
for Rosedale Stock Farm. The four animals are good repre-
sentatives of the trotting breed and should be valuable addi-
tions to the stock of Australia, where, we are glad to know
there is increasing interest in the trotting horse. Their
names ard breeding are as follows:

Digitalis 2:25* is a bay stallion sired by Dalv 2:15, son of
General Benton 1755. His dam is Cygnet, a daughter of
Steinway, sire of Klatawah 2:05$, W. Wood 2:07 and others,
second dam Leah by Woodford Mambrino. Digitalis was
foaled in 1889, and made his record at Napa in 1896. He is
a well made horse and a square trotter.

Willie Whips is a two year old stallion by St. Whips, son
of Whips, sire of Azote 2:04f. The dam of Willie WhiiB
is a full brother to Digitalis 2:25$.

Diana is a handsome big bay mare by Daly 2:15, out of a
fall sister to Alexander Button, sire of Yolo Maid 2:12, Tom
Rider 2:13$, etc. She is a fast trotter as well as a good look-
ing animal.

Mary Daly is a bay mare, six years old, by Daly 2:15, dam
Fay by Steinway. Both Mary Daly and Diana were bred to
St. Whips this spring.

We understand that these horses, if they arrive in good
condition, will be exhibited at the Australian fairs this year.

Oregon Horse News.

[North Pacific Raral Spirit.]

8. W. Aldrich has lost by accidental death his good brood
mare Hezelwood (dam of Ann Alene 2:22$ and Walter A.
2:23}), by Rockwood.

I. C. Mosher, who is training quite a stable of horses at '.he
fair grounds, writes that his horses are all working into good
condition. The track is good and will be kept so all this
summer.

J. B. Stetson has increased the size of his training stable
by adding Tom Gannons' pacing mare by Princemont and
Dr. A. G. Smith's green trotter by Planter. Both these
horses are very promising green ones.

Helen J., 2:18$, has arrived at Irvington track to take her
preparation for the seasons racing under the tutorship of
John Pender. She will be fitted for the free for all classes
this year and will be a hard one to beat.

Mr. J. Conner, proprietor of the Willamette hotel, Salem,
Oregon, has purchased from the 8. G. Reed estate Stamboul
Bell 2:21, by Btamboul 2:07}, out of Bell H., 2:23* (dam of
Coeur d' Alene 2:19$) by Belmont 4463. This mare is in I.
C. Mosher's stable at the fair grounds and will very likely be
entered in the $1000 purse for 2:20 trotters.

The opening of the matinee racing at Pendleton last week
was fairly well patronized and the sport was first claas.
Geo. Perringet's stallion Pathmark won the free for all one-
half mile pace over Frank Frazer's Umahollia, Chris 8imp-

[Amerlcan Sportsman.]

Star Pointer's season of sixteen mares having closed on
Monday, Supt. Kline shipped him over to the Clevelapd
track on Tuesday morning, and he will now go into training.
No plans for the season will be made until Mr. Kline gets
him on edge.

Splan has ten horses in his stable. It was reported that
Monterey would be returned to California for this year's
campaign, but the chestnut stallion has been turned over to
Splan and the chances are that he will be seen in the Splan
outfit when it starts out this veir. Mr, Splan is the right
kind of a man for a horse like Monterey, and if he can get
the son of Sidney to the races he will bear watching. Mr.
Splan is also training the fast pacer Directum.

There are more horses in training at the Cleveland track
this season than at any time since 1892. Probably fifty more
will be on the grounds by Saturday, so that in all there will
be as many as can usually be found at a Grand Circuit meet-
ing. Among the stables will be found Star Pointer l:59Ji
Anaconda 2:03}, Azote 2:04|, Klatawah 2:05$. Cresceus 2:07},
John Nolan 2:08, Exploit 2:08}, Monterey 2:09}, Mattie
Patterson 2:09}, Peko 2:111, John A. McKerron 2:12},
Temper 2:12J, Fleetwood 2:13$, Rizpah 2:1 3|, Colonel Bill
2:15$, Tattler BurnB 2:16}, Tom Nolan 2:16} and Bang F,
2:16},

Tom Keating and Jchn Splan are at the Eist View Farm,
near New York.

Few horses are in as fine condition as Mr. Middlemay this
spring. He is being given a most careful preparation, and
being a thoroughly Bound horse, and perfectly mannered, he
is sure to be heard of this season. He seems to have been
overlooked by those who have discussed the M. & M. With
his good qualities and gameness he cannot be counted out of
a chance, should he start. Last season Tanner drove him
in 2:10} to cart.

All of Mr. W. O. Foote's horses look like first money,
particularly John Nolan 2:08, who looks far better than he
did the season of his great campaign. Foote will likely
have a great mare in Parallax by Prodigal, out of Annie
Jackson by Red Wilkes. She is in fine form, and on Mon-
day finished a mile in 2:19}, and a half in 1:07.

At the Gentlemen's Driving Club's matinee Saturday, June
2d an exhibition of the faaicus hordes in training at the
Cleveland track lent interest to the afternoon's entertainment*
Mr. Keating stepped Anaconda and the Direct colt some fast
miles, Anaconda showing a quarter over the heavy track in
31J seconds; W. O. Foote worked John Nolan 2:08, to sulky;
John 8plan stepped Monterey 2:09}, and John A. McKerron.
Mr. Middlemay, Gertrude M., Exploit, Donna C, Temper
and Rizpah were shown in the quarter stretch.

So serious was the injury received by James R. Keene's
gelding Chaccrnac in his race at Morris Park that his racing
days are probably over. At all events be has been declared
ont of his engagements for the year, which include the
Suburban and Brighton Handicaps, Brooklyn Derby, Law-
rence Realization, Brighton Cup, Annual Champion at
Coney Island, and a number of minor stakes.

Previous has been declared from all bis engagements,
and has been sent to the stud in Kentucky, as Mr. Feather*
stone thinks a horse of his breeding — Meddler-Sunnyside —
more valuable as a stock horse than be can be ab a racer. He
was eligible to both the Suburban and Brighton Handicaps,
in both of which bis weight was 119 pounds.

Good purses are being hung up for the runners on the
northern circuit, and at Napa and Vallejo. Owners of runuere
Bhould go to Napa and follow the whole circuit through.
There will be races made up over night for all classes of

horses.

Frond, one of the shiftiest steeplechasers at Chicago, is
only 14$ hands high. The mare has been ridden 'cross
country in the East, and is one of the best jumpers on the
Chicago tracks.

The much talked of match between Cobwebs and Lucille
came cfi over the New York speedway, Tune 7th, in the
presence of fifteen thousand people. Gurney Gue tells the
story of the race in the New York Sun of the 8th inst.

It was 4:30 when two mounted policemen went galloping
down the stretch from the direction of Dyckman street to
clear the way for Cobwebs and Lucille. The horses were to
start at the extreme end of the driveway and finish at the
end of the stone wall, half a mile away. Burdelle Loomis,
of Hartford, who rode with Hoeea B. Perkins, was to drop
the handkerchief as a signal to start when the horses got
Btraightened out on even terms, but Mr. Straus and Mr.
Billings didn't wait for the Bignal. Turning up near the
macadam they sent their trotters spinning away toward the
big bridge at the first attempt. Though Cobwebs is able to
get up steam and strike his faetept clip with the agility of a
pony pacer, Lucille, usually slow to get away, somehow stole
a march on the chestnut horse and she was a good half length
in front as they swept round the bend and burst into view
from the point near the bridge, where the crowd was thick-
est. The little mare swung along in front with apparent
ease for more than a quarter of a mile. As she flashed past
the post which marks the first quarter, Mr. Billings was driv-
ing her uuder a slight pull and Baving, "8teady, girl; steady,'*
to keep her from rushing ahea'. Mr. 8traus appeared to be
driving a wailing race.

Cobwebs was sailing, but it was a furlong further on that
bis driver first rang out, "Go on there," and sent the up-
lifted whip hissing through the air at the side of the flying
trotter. The gallant old gelding's hoof-beats came faster and
faster as they neared the goal. Lucille's advantage melted
away to a neck in a few strides. Mr. Billings spread his
arms and bumped his shoulders as he always does in a hard
drive, and he played on the reins with a touch as fine as a
trout fisher's in rallying the mare to her best rate of speed.
Her neck — at least a part of it — was Blill in front at the
finish line, but Cobwebs was coming with a wet sail. Ten
yards further on he had cut her lead down to a head— both
drivers kept on after passing the post agreed upon as the
finishing point. All of a sudden Lucille left her stride and
the big horse rushed ahead with the speed of a locomotive.
8ome horsemen who started their watches from the drop of
a signal flag and stopped them as the horses passed the half-
mile post, made the time 1:03— a 2:06 gait.

Though Mr. Straus had stipulated for only ore brush pro-
vided neither horse made a break, he was ready to try again
after this red hot contest. Mr. Billings promptly consented
to another trial, and so the horses were jogged back to Dyck-
man street, where they rested half an hour before their next
round. Lucille couldn't steal a march on the chestnut horee
when it came to this break. Cobweb3 evened matters up by
sprinting away more than half a length in front and setting
the pace hot from the first turn of the wheels. The mare was
on the right hand side of the road. As they swung around
the bend Mr. Billings took her in so clo3e to the carriages at
the curb line that many persons in the crowd near the
bridge thought he was pulling up. The footing was better
there and Lucille made the most of it, skimming along the
smooth, cushioned surface at a clip which carried her up to
even terms with Cobwebs soon after the first quarter post
was passed. From there to the finish tbetwo gallant trotters
struggled heads apart, first one and then the other seeming
to have the advantage. As they shot past the winning post
they were going stride for stride, with necks outstretched,
eyes blazing and both reinsmen driving as they never drove
before. Mr. Billing's first words were, when he had slowed
Lucile down to a jog, turned her and walked her back to the
finish line:

'* Who won?"

Melville C. Boynton, who stood right at the half-mi?.: ?nst
on the west side of the road, said:

"If I had to answer for my life I would say Cobwebs beat
the mare a short head." Some others on that side saw the
finish the same way. But on the opposite Bide nearly all
hands agreed that Lucille won by half a neck. Hamilton
Busbey, Albert Hall and John Shepard of Boston were close
to the line. Mr. Busbey said:

"It was one of the closest contests I ever saw. Cobwebs
didn't win and I'm not sure Lucille did."

After all, the victory of the Chicago trotter was a triumph
for New York; Lucille was bred and raised io the western
part of this State, while Cobwebs is a Californii product.
The bay mare went through a remarkable campaign last
year, coming out in the 3:00 class and gaining her record of
2:09} within a few weeks after trotting her first race. She
was one of the stars of the season, winning many races.
Her beauty, docility and great natural speed induced Mr.
Billings to pay 17000 for her at the end of the campaign.

A Lf.TTtB received last week from Cy Mulkey stated that
his parly were at Kitchikan, Alaska, and had stopped there
to give their slock a chance to graze. All the party were in
good health, end expected to reach Dulcb Harbor in a
few days.

William B. Fasio says that the recent sale at Cleveland
footed up almost (150,000. The Fatig-Tipton Co. in'end
holding a July sale in Cleveland, selling horses that are in
training right under Ihe watch.

AN APPROPRIATION OF $1000 has been made
by the Supervisors of Monterey county to aid the fair to
be held this year at Salinas, the county seat. As has
often been stated in these columns there is a law on the
statutes of California which permits boards of super-
visors to expend $1000 per annum in advertising the
resources of the county, and we are glad to see that
several county boards have shown the good judgment to
expend the money where it will do actual good, and
where results can be obtained. If the citizens all help
the fair, and the live stock breeders and agriculturists
make as good an exhibit as possible, the $1000 taken
from the county treasury will come back ten fold within
a year, Through the excellent lairs that have been
given at Salinas in the past, Monterey county has be-
come a locality noted all over the country for its fine
horses. There is not an Eaatern horse buyer that comes
to San Francisco but visits Salinas, and if a record could
have t«en kept of the animals sold out of that county
.luring the past ten years, the amount received for them
would astonish even the breeders themselves. The
Salinas papers are among the few country journals in
the State that recognize the importance of the horse
breeding industry and there is not a week passes but
items copied from them into this journal are re-copied
throughout the East, and it is this advertising, with the
annual fairs and race meetings, that have made Salinas
county known all over the country as a producer of good
horses. Few newspapers realize the immense value of
the horse industry to California. A breeder may sell a
fine horse or a pair for a good price, or purchase a valu-
able stallion or broodmare without attracting any more
attention than a mere mention of the fact in a line or
two, and there are some localities in the State where the
only horse news that is printed about local horses is
matter taken verbatim from the Breeder and Sports-
man. If the country newspapers would but realize that
there are on the assessment rolls of California fifteen
million dollars worth of work horses and mules alone,
and that the sporting and pleasure horses represent many
millions more they would probably pay more attention
*o this great industry. The annual racing of harness
and running horses at the county fairs is but a small
feature of the horse business, and while these speed con.
tests are great stimulants in the matter of improving the
breed, they do much more in the way of advertising the

localities where they are held, call particular attention
to the farms whereon the good ones are bred, and by
this means bring the resources of the locality into wide
notice. The Supervisors of every county that holds a
fair should aid it with an appropriation, and every
county paper should work for its success.

NO ARRANGEMENTS for the employment of a
professional starter of harness races having been made
by any of the California associations up to the present
time it is very likely that the starting will be done at
this year's meetings by some local horseman or an official
of the local association. The starting of harness horses
is a very different proposition in this day of two minute
speed than it was in former years and it is more difficult
to get a field of horses to score down together for the
word. There are many horses that cannot trot oi pace a
mile better than 2:20 that can brush through the stretch
in thirty seconds, and there are others that can beat
these in a race at an even Btart that have never shown
two minute speed. If the driver of the pole horse can
be made to start towards the wire slowly and increase
his speed as he comes, and if the others can be kept
from rushing ahead or lagging behind, starting harness
horses would not be such a difficult proposition. Or if
all the drivers in the race were satisfied with a fair start,
and no one tried to get the best of it, then again starting
would be easy. But human nature is the same on the
track, in wai, love or business, and there are few who
will not take a slight advantage of an antagonist if he
can get it. The efforts of the starter must be directed
toward preventing drivers from taking these advantages,
and to an endeavor to give all a fair deal and as the
statesmen say "special privileges ,to none." How to
accomplish this without tiring the audience as well as
the horses is a subject that has been wrestled with by
would-be starters and newspaper scribes for many years
without having arrived at any rule or set of rules that
will accomplish the desired end. We believe, however>
that there are a few rules, which, if they were laid down
and strictly followed, would make the starting of trotters
much easier, and will enumerate them for the benefit of
those who may be in the starter's box this year.

1st — Insist that the driver of the horse scored by shall
not bring the field down too fast.

2d — Fine the first man that comes down in front of
him the first time he does it.

3d — Make the first fine for this offense $5 and double
it for each subsequent offense.

4th — Never make a threat to fine or punish that is
not carried out strictly to the letter, thus making every
driver know that you mean just what you say.

5th — Do not waste time with bad actors. Horses
should be trained before they are raced.

6th — Speak loudly and clearly but not harshly when
addressing the drivers.

7th — Inflict a fine or other punishment as quietly and
coolly as you would address a lady.

8th — Keep your temper and always act the gentlemen.

9th — Don't play to the grand stand.

The above nine rules may not enable anyone to be a
successful starter but we believe they will enable some
to be better starters than they now are if they will
observe them.

A GOOD SALE was the one held by Chase &
Mendenhall, the well known leading live stock auction-
eers of this city, on Thursday of this week. The con-
signment consisted of a lot of well bred but unbroken
horses bred by J. B. Haggin at the Kern County Land
Company's ranch. Owing to the fact that twenty-one
head of the consignment were skinned and scarred np
by a fearful knocking about received on a very rough
railroad trip from the ranch, they were sold for very low
prices, but all the horses that were unhurt sold well.
They were all unbroken except to halter, yet the average
of the entire sale was a shade over $60 per head, and
those which were unhurt brought very close to $100'
This sale shows that good horses, even though they
are unbroken, are in active demand at the present time,
and as the supply of animals of sufficient size and age to
do city and farm work is growing less and will certainly
continue so for the next two years, prices are bound to
stiffen still further. Another consignment of fifty head
bred at the same farm will be Bold by Chase & Menden-
hall next month, and Mr. Chase says he proposes to see
that they land in San Francisco with their hair and hide
all on, if he has to have them led up from the ranch by
halter. Due announcement of the date of sale will be
given in these columns and buyers should keep an eye
open for it, as the horses are a choice lot.

THE EARNING CAPACITY of a trotting horse
has much to do with his value as the price paid for
promising colts entered in large stakes clearly demon-
strates. Trotting stakes like the M. & M. at Detroit,
the Charter Oak at Hartford and the Transylvania at
Lexington have been most important factors in not only
inducing breeders to breed the best, but in making the
selling price of a fast trotter sufficient to pay a profit on
his breeding, rearing and development. It is not every
association that can offer these big stakes for trotters but
there should be at least one such event each year in
every State that makes a pretense of being a horse breed-
ing locality. California, one of the leading horse breed-
ing states in the Union, has no such feature for its
annual racing season and the Breeder and Sportsman
takes this occasion to suggest to the gentlemen who
comprise the Board of Directors of the State Agricul-
tural Society that this year 1900 offers a good opportun-
ity for the inauguration of an annual trotting stake to
be called "The California" or some such appropriate
name. Like the M & M and similar stakes it should be
a race for horses that have not already shown their
ability to win in fast company, as such horses already
have a great value. The class of the race should not be
faster than 2:25 and the date of naming the horse should
be so arranged as to insure as large a field as possible.
Entries should be confined to horses bred in this State
as the idea is to encourage the breeding of the trotting
horse in California. At least $3000 should be the
guaranteed amount of the stake, with not less than $2000
to the winner thereof. Nominations should close not
later than March 1st each year with a Bmall payment,
say $10, for the privilege. A hundred nominations
should be secured at that sum. On May 1st another $10
would be due and by that time the horses would be giv-
ing some evidence of the speed that was in them and
sixty would probably be paid up on. Another payment
of $10 on June 1st ought to bring returns from at least
forty, and that would make the amount of money in the
stake $2000. The starting fee, which could be five per
cent of the sum needed to make up the stake, would be
due when the horses were named which should be about
August 1st, or one month prior to the State Fair. We
believe a stake like this could be made such a feature of
the annual State Fair that it would be one of the great
drawing cards of the meeting. Such a race could be in-
augurated this year, making it, of course, for a lesser
amount this time as payments would have to be fewer
and there is not sufficient time to secure a big list of
entries. California Bhould not be behind any state in
the Union in efforts to encourage the breeding or develop-
ment of good horses, and we confidently believe that a
stake something like "The California" above suggested
will do much toward that end. Will the honorable
Board of Directors of the State Agricultural Society give
the matter some consideration ?

FOUR GOOD PURSES, three of them for trotters,
the other for the lateral gaited horses, will close with
Secretary Ed. S. Bell, at Napa, next Wednesday, June
20th. The free-for-all trot and the free-for-all pace are
each for $800, which is a purse worth striving for on
any track and in any country on earth. There are eight
or ten horses in training in California this year which
should have a chance at the trotting event and as many
or more among the free-for-all pacers. The sum of $600
is offered for trotters of the 2:17 class and this event
should fill well, while the $500 hung up for trotting
three year olds should also draw a good lot of entries.
Horse owners should remember that Napa's meeting
follows the one at Santa Rosa, that the railroad haul is
but thirty-five miles, that the climate is as near perfec-
tion as any locality in the State, and that the track is
safe and fast. The Napa association will do everything
to accommodate the horsemen who enter there and have
a big lot of splendid box stalls all in first class order
and ready for occupancy. The owners of runners should
bear in mind that a big sum of money has been set aside
for running races, and as these will be made up to suit
the horses on the ground, those- who want a chance to
race for the money should go to Napa and make their
wants known. The Napa Fair will be one of the beBt
ever held in that town.

REY DEL DIABLO, J. M. Alviso's good two year
old son of Diablo that took a record of 2:23} laBt year, is
in training at Pleasanton and acts as though he would
get a low record this year in his three year old form.
The picture of this handsome colt shown on our first
page is a true likeness.

MOST EVERY DAY we have the fact brought to
oar attention that many would-be buyers of trotting
stock do not fully realize the new order of things as
regards trotting horse values. Just as many owners
failed to keep up with the shrinksge in values duriDg
the cycle of depression, so many buyers now fail to
realize the rapidity with which values are hardening.
But this is not so very strange, for it is really very bard
for one to understand why trotting horse values should
so suddenly rebound to the extent of a hundred per cent,
or more in twelve months or less. But it is the same
old story of the whole flock following the "bell wether."
Not that values are now high, but that when prices were
low, and getting lower, people who really needed horses
would not buy because they were so low and the lower
they got to be the less inclined anyone was to buy. But
few people are buying, as vet, because prices are hard-
ening and others are buying, but simply because they
need horses. Soon the time will come when people will
buy horses because they are high and getting higher,
and then values will go skyward witb a rush. It would,
therefore, seem wise in those who now want trotting
stock, either for breeding or other purposes, to simply
step in and buy such as they need, and such as suit them,
at such prices as are now placed on them — barring, of
course, exceptional fictitious values. Breeding stock
must, of course, very substantially increase in value
over present average prices, for the relative prices of
ready-for-use stock and breeding stock are out of pro-
portion, and as stocks are low and continually running
lower, prices of the latter class cannot and will not, lor
some years at least, recede. For several years to come
good country stallions, as well as high class speed sires,
will possess good earning capacities, and these must
inevitably take on a highsr range of values. Aged
stallions have been wonderfully thinned out, the country
over, and for the same reasons that this is the case young
stallions are decidedly scarce. Horse breeding, even in
rural districts, is becoming, owing to the scarcity of
holdings, very active, and what stallions are in use are
being crowded with patronage. This breeding craze
will increase for a term of years and hence more stall-
ions will be needed, and this means better values in
the immediate future.- — -Western Horseman.

JULY SECOND will be a red letter day for harness
horse owners and trainers in California, and the post-
office department will doubtless have a heavy increase
in business on that date, as entries for the harness events
at Vallejo, Colusa, Willows, Chico, Red Bluff, Marys-
ville and Woodland will close then. It will be the open-
ing day of the Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa so the
date will be easy to remember. The associations men-
tioned above, each and every one, deserve a big list of
entries. They made the California circuit possible this
year by throwing themselves into the breach, as it were,
announcing dates and good purses, and they now deserve
to have their actions endorsed by receiving an entry list
that will enable them to close every purse. There are
good tracks, good stalls, good hay and grain and good
water all through the circuit and the people are enthusi-
astic over the fairs and race meetings so there is certain
to be a good attendance. The country is prosperous all
through the section covered by these meetings, which is
another reason why success is assured and horse owners
should now do their part and fill all the different classes
if possible. Owners and trainers often fail to realize the
fact that small entry lists often put fair associations out
of business entirely as they discourage the directors so
that they do not care to make any further effort to pro-
vide for annual races. A successful circuit this year
means bigger and better puises next year, so that those
interested in horses and who wish to see the business
thrive in California should not allow July 2d to pass
without making a liberal lot of entries.

IT WILL ONLY COST $3 to nominate a mare in
the $6000 Pacific Breeders Futurity on September 1st
this year, and there is nothing more to pay until July
1st next year, when a five dollar bill is to be paid on the
foal. There is nothing that helps the breeding business
as much as good stakes for two and three year old colts
and fillies, and every stallion owner should begin now
and do a little missionary work among the owners of
mares that have been bred to his horse this year. The
stake closes September 1st, which is the last day of the
Woodland meeting. Keep this in mind, and whether
you are fortunate enough to be at that excellent fair or
not, don't fail to name a mare in this stake if you own
one that has been bred this year.

FOUR RUNNING RACES and two harness races
each day is the splendid program announced by the
Golden Gate Agricultural Association for its meeting
which will open at the California Jockey Club's track at
Oakland on Saturday, September 22d, and continue
seven days. The amount of the purses for the runners
is not stated but they will all be very liberal and entries
will be mostly overnight. For the harness horses $600
is offered for the 2:11 trotters, the same amount for the
2:11 pacers, and $500 for all the other aged classes.
Nearly $10,000 in all is hung up for the harness brigade
to trot or pace for during the Beven days and as the
track at Oakland is always well patronized by the public
there should be a very profitable week of racing for those
whose horses are fast enough to win. The purses and
conditions for this meeting are all set forth in our ad-
vertising columns to-day to which we refer all our read-
era. Entries will close for the harness events on July
2d, the same date as has been set for the closing at all
the other meetings whose programs are thus far an-
nounced.

ENTRIES CLOSE for the Breeders great meeting at
Santa Rosa after this issue of the Breeder and
Sportsman goes to press, but before it reaches its many
readers. The date of closing is Friday, June 15th. and
in our next issue we will be able to publish a complete list
of the horses that have been named for this, the first
meeting of the California circuit. The prospects are for
a splendid week of racing at the prettiest town in Call"
tornia, and every lover of the American trotter should
make his arrangements to be there when the starter
takes his flag in hand and announces, " Gentlemen
you will now come down for the word; score by the pole
horse and don't come to the wire in front of him."

A WRITER in the New York Press gossips enter-
tainingly about the prevalence of homesickness as a ver-
itable ailment among the horses that saw service in the
Civil War, and avers that they were far more susceptible
to it than were the volunteers, suffered more from it and
could only be cured by the passing of time, for the
reason that unlike the men they could not be braced up
with the promise that they would soon be sent home.

Starters In the American Derby.

Washington Park, Chicago, will open its gates next Satur.
day and the American Derby will be decided. Never has
there been more interest taken over a race than is manifested
over this classic event this year and there is certain (o be a
tremendouB crowd to witness it. The starters are pretty cer-
tain to come from the following list of eligibles who have
shown form sufficient to warrant starting them in the event:

Outside of the above list there may be a colt or two that
is 'still in the dark division, and that is as yet but little
talked of, but, as a rule, these animals that have been kept
under cover until so late in the day cut but little actual
figure either in the minds of speculators, or in the race Itself.

The Denver Meeting.

A very fair crowd was in attendance on the opening day
of the Denver meeting, Jane 9lb. Mr. Updegraff, who
weitded the flag at Denver last year, again handled the bunt-
ing, and in the judges' stand were J. K. Stewart, J. A.
Osner and Franci6 Smart. The timers were Messrs. Allen,
Johnston and Prior.

The 2:09 pace was a good race, Raymond M. finally win-
ning against a combination of all the others. The 2:11 trot

Petruchlo "Wins Brooklyn Derby.

St. Simon blood is making a great showing in America
as well as England this year. At Gravesend last Thursday,
which was the closing day of the Brooklyn Jockey Club's
spring meeting, the Brooklyn Derby, worth (10,000, of
which $8000 goes to the first horse, was decided. The win'
ner was James R. Keene'e Petruchio, bay colt by Tourna"
ment, dam Katherioe II. by St. Simon. Petruchio was
ridden by Spencer and was from 9 to 2, to 8 to 5 is the
betting. There were five starters. The summary of the
race is as follows:

Brooklyn Derby. One and one-half miles— Petruchio 1C8 (Spencer) 9
to2and8 to6 won by luur lengths, Kilmarnock 126 (Turner) & to 1 and
2 to 1 second by three lengths, David Garrlck 111 (Matter) 9 to 6 and 7 to
10 third. Time -: 14. Prince of Melbourne and M Isalonary also ran.

This is to be the banner season for matinee racing. There
are more gentlemen's driving clubs in existence than there
ever was in any previous lear, and each one of the older
established societies of this sort shows an increased member-
ship. There are besides more horses in training to win
laurels at the matinees, and man? a performer that last
season went down the line in the real game will find himself
pulling four wheels and struggling to win a rosette instead of
good gold dollars in the purse and pool box. It will take
more speed to win one of these ribbonR this year than it ever
did, and all summer long there will be an anxious and eager
hunt indulged in by many a rich man to get hold of some*
thing that can turn the tables on some crowing conqueror.

Secretary Shields can expect a big entry list this year
for the harness races at the State Fair. Every trainer in the
country is telling us that bis horse will be real good about
fair time.

The Sulky.

Napa entries close next Wednesday.

The Sacramento track is now in perfect condition.

N. L. B 2:21J, who made his record last year ae a two
year old pacer, will be started this year in ihe three year old
stakes in which he is entered and should reduce his record a
little. He was unbeaten last year.

The stallion 8tammont 2:29$, by Slamboul, out of Zor-
aya, by Guy Wilkes, died in Kentucky last week. When
D. J. Rose closed oat RoBemeade Farm, James E Clay paid
$13,500 for Ziraya, and the colt was foaled on the train.

Cookie Klamath will be on the circuit this year.

Joe Thayer has driven his colt, The Bondsman, in
2:19£ at Lexington.

In the great broodmare list 186 have produced four or
more with standaid records.

List of entries as far as closed at the different meeting
will be printed in the Breeder and Sportsman next week

Zombro 2:11 ha6 so far iccovered from hie recent illnes
that he is in shape to win in the free for all races if he starts'

King Cadenza 2:20 has been entered at the Santa Eosa
meeting and will also be raced at Marysville and Woodland.

Our Lucky started at Denver last Saturday and was beaten
by Trilby P. 2:13*. The race was a procession and the time
slow.

John A. 2:14 is working well in his four year old form.
He paced a mile at Alameda last week very close to his
record.

The breeding season is nearly over. Nearly>very stallion
in California has been well patronized this year, especially
those that wtre advertised.

The Vancouver Jocfeey Club will give a race meetiDg dur-
ing the first week in July at which parses will be hung up
for both trotters and runners.

The mare Hazel Y. 2:17 by Secretary, formerly owned by
Mr. Yandel of Santa Rosa, started in the 2:11 trot at Denver
last Saturday and got third money.

The Los Angeles Driving Club are endeavoring to secure
control of the Agricultural Park track in that city with the
view of holding frequent matinees there.

It is an even bet that little Dictatress 2:12; will again
reduce her record this year. She will have to meet the best
ones on the circuit in many of her races.

Will Durfee is expected from Los Angeles in a few days
with his striog of trotters. Dr. Book 2:13| is ready to race
and can step a shade faster than his record.

Sable Frances 2.-17J and Majella B. have been sent
from Walnut Grove Stock Farm to Jas. Sullivan at Sacra-
mento. He will get them ready for the races.

They all admit that Sam Hoy has the best string at the
Sacramento track. He has four pacers that can beat 2:15,
and two of them, Kelly Briggs and Demonio, should pace
below 2:10 before the summer is over.

Royal Baron 2:10J is reported to have changed hands
in Europe recently for $12,500.

Santa Rosa entries closed yesterday, and a complete list
of the same will appear next week.

Stice & Maben are expected to arrive at Santa Rosa
next week with their string of good ones.

The 2:40 class trot and 2:30 class pace filled well at
Vallejo, as they did all through the circuit.

Thebe is to be a bill introduced at the next Legislature to
limit racing in this State to 30 days on any one track.

The wife of Suel Harris, a prominent trotting horse
breeder of California, died at her home in Sutter county last
week from apoplexy. Besides her husband Mrs Harris left
four sons and four daughters, all grown.

Silver Bow 2:16, has been bred to a large number of
Rancho del Paso's best standard bred mares this year.

Lawson, the bicyclist, raced with the pacing mare Flora-
cita by Red Cloak at Santa Ana recently and beat her out
about ten feet in 2:09£. Gib Judd has her in training.

G. W. Wempe has Belle W. 2:16 in training and will
start her in her class this year. He says she can pace a mile
to her record, bat the 2:13 pacers are a little too fast to start
her against.

Red Seal 2:10, the Illinois pacer that B. O. Van Bokkelen
is driving this year, is showing great speed and won a heat
at Denver in 2:11 J lest Saturday. He is by Red Heart, a son
of Red Wilkes.

The big pacer called John Boggs, owned by W. L. Mar-
shall of Colusa, and which is being trained by James Sullivaa
of Sacramento, can step miles inside of 2:20 already. He is
by Mendocino.

There have been 402 entries made for the early closing
events of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders October
meeting. This is but four less than the record breaking
entry list of 1899.

Chas. Jeffries moved the string of trotters belonging to
Mr. A.. B. Sprecbels to Santa Rosa last Wednesday. There
are about 75 horses at that track now and at least a hundred
more will go there next week.

More trotting bred mares are in the stud at Rancho del
Paso this year than for several seasona past and there will be
nearly three hundred bred. James Madison and Knight are
both making very heavy seasons.

Monterey 2:09J, will not come back to California tbiB
summer after all. Mr. Williams has turned him over to
John Splan and that master reinsman will try his band with
the big son of Sidney. If Monterey and Splan suit each
other, the Btallion record will be lowered.

Vet Tryon, the well known Sacramento horsman, hearing
that there was considerable speed on tap at Pleasanton, went
down there last week and played rs.il bird for a couple of
days. He offered J. M. Alviso $1000 for his black pacing
hlly by Direct 2:05J, dam Rosita A. 2:14$, and "Al" is still
studying over it.

Wm. Morgan, of Los Angeles, has two very promising
green trotters by McKinney 2:11J which he will race on this
Coast instead of in tbe East as be at first intended. Ooe is
out of a mare by Gen. Grant and trotted a mile in 2:17 last
week at Los Angeles. The other is a full sister to McZeus
2:13 and Coney 2:07}, and worked a mile in 2:22 tbe same
week. Mr. Morgan will probably start them at Santa Rosa.

Daedalion 2:11 h one of the handsomest horses in train-
ing at Sacramento. He looks very much like bis sire except
in color, and moves like him. It is more than probable that
he will beat Diablo's record a little this year.

The Vallejo directors have decided to open three new
events. They are 2:19 and 2:27 trotting and 2:17 pacing
races, and the list will also include races for fast roadsters
owned by gentlemen in the district. The Vallejo track is in
perfect condition.

Neernut 2:12£ has made a heavy season this year at the
farm of Mb owner, fteorge W. Ford of Santa Ana, and will
not be raced. Neeretta'B splint is not bothering her much
and she will be in tbe 2:10 list before the summer is over if
no accident happens her.

Andy McKinney is the name of a green horse by Mc-
Kinney rrbicb is likely to trot close to 2:20 this year. He is
being trained by Gilbert Judd, owner of Klamath, at Santa
Ana. Klamath is getting road work and has trotted very
fast quarters and halves recently.

Connie, the pacing mare by Ketchum that was cam-
paigned by John Baker in California last year, starling three
times but not winning a heat, won at Denver last Monday
ander B. O Van B"»kkelen's guidance. She stepped the
three heats in 2:22, 2:20} and 2:24.

Half fare from all points on the California and North-
western to Santa Rosa on the 4th of July. Make arrange-
ments to spend the holiday there, witness the celebration
and see the races in the afternoon. The half fare ticket will
be good to return home on tbe oth.

John Bkooks is working at Santa Ana a pacer by Neer-
nut out of a mare by Bob Mason that has been named
Toughnut. He will be a hard one to crack if he continues
to improve as he has paced quarters in 32 seconds already,
and this is his first season's training.

The horse reporter of the 8acramento Record-Union says
he has not seen "Hawkin's horse" among any of those work-
ing at the tracks there. As far as we have heard this cele-
brated green one has failed to show up at any of the training
tracks in California but he may make his appearance at
Santa Rosa.

Foorth of July week at 8anta Rosa will be one of those
old time gatherings that you cannot sflord to miss. There
will be oratory, processions, brass bands, racing, red lemon-
ade, peanuts, pop corn, fireworks and pretty girls. If there
is anything else one needs to make him happy will he please
mention it.

Henky Titeh is becoming enthusiastic about Arion. The
great son of Electioneer worked out two miles better than
2:25 the other morning and apparently has as much speed as
he ever had. Spers, a four year old by Arion, out of Kaloa,
by Princeton, trotted a mile in 2:21 in her work and acts like
a very high class mare.

Kenney, the bikeman at 531 Valencia Btreet, is rushed
now with orders for new bike wheels, and trainers who want
their sulkies repaired shou'd see Kenney at once as the
racing season will open in a few weeks and those who do not
want to go into a race with a lame Bulky should get it
doctored op immediately.

Chas. Jeffries' Rtring of trotters which he is training
for Mr. A. B Spreckels consist of the following, all bred at
Aptos Stock Farm : Dione, b m, 2:09}, by Eros; Psyche, ch
m, 2:17}, by Cupid; Zarina, ch m, by Dexter Prince; Princess
Christine, b m, by Dexter Prince; Sen Sen, b m, by Dexter
Prince; Mulcaby, g g, by Aptos Wilkes.

Horsemen all over the State are greatly pleased with the
$6000 Breeders Futurity for the produce of mares bred in
1900 Every one who owns a mare that has been bred to a
trolling or pacing stallion this year should name her in this
stake. It will only cost $3 and will do a great deal to en-
hance the value of trotting and pacing colts.

Stam B. 2:11} was taken with a severe case of colic at
Sacramento last week and for two days and nights the great
son of Stamboul was pretty near death's door. He is all
right now, however, and will be able to start at the State
Fair or perhaps Woodland if nothing happens him. He
has made a heavy season in the stud this year.

At Vallejo the 2:40 trot has fifteen entries and the 2:30
pace eleven. 1 he 2:24 and 2:15 trots and the 2:20 pace did
not fill and were declared off. In their stead were opened a
2:19 trot for $500, a 2:27 trot for $500, and a 2:17 pace for
$500, entries lo cIobc July 2d. Tbe names of the horses
entered in the 2:40 trot and the 2:30 pace will be published
next week.

Philadelphia, road drivers are discussing arrangements
for a series of inter city races between the leading amatenr
drivers of Philadelphia, Baltimore and New York. Some of
the New York drivers favor the scheme, and it is quite
likely that tbe Road Drivers' Association of that city will
entertain the proposition and subscribe to the fund necessary
for arranging such a meeting.

The first broodmare to be added to the Great Broodmare
Table for 1900 is the mare Jane Hoyt, bred by the late Dr.
Horace Hoyt, of EaBt Aurora, N. Y. She is the dam of the
pacer Frank Yoabum 2:19}, that took his record at Balti-
more last week, and another son, Bud Shields 2:19}, was to
her credit previously. She was Bired by Mohican, eon of
Hambletonian 10, dam by Alphine, son of Almont.

Clarence Day, whose present address is Salinas, has
nominations for sale in the 2:30 and 2:20 class" pacing races
at Willows, Colusa, Chico and Red Bluff. Those wanting
nominations in these classes should write Mr. Day at once.

The horsemen who fail to enter on the Northern circuit
will make a great mistake. There are no better tracks any-
where than those at Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff and Chico,
and the parses are very liberal. The attendance will exceed
that at many of the larger towns nearer San Francisco and
there will be an opportunity to win more money in the pool
box, as those Northern folks are much inclined to back their
opinion on a horse with bright yellow gold.

Joaquin Milleb adds the weight of his protest against
the fashion of baDging horses' tails. It is English he allows
but England is a breezy and cool land, with much mad and
no flies or mosquitoes. ThiB vast land of ours is hot, dry,
dusty and filled with flies and moEquitoee'that torment horses
almost to madness. The horse needs its' tail here as much
as it needs its teeth. God gave it, says the Poet of the
Sierras, and if we have the ghost of a heart we will let the
horse keep it.

George Pope of Burlingame lost one of his fine carriage
horses last week in a most peculiar manner. The horses
were drawing the family carriage along the county road at
an ordinary trot, when without any apparent cause the horse
in question hesitated a second and fell to the ground. Ex-
amination disclosed the fact that both hind legs were broken.
The animal wae subsequently destroyed. Just what caused
the accident is a mystery, and the only solution seems to be a
possibility of the horse's stepping upon a stone.

Last fall James Golden refused $8000 for the fillv Caro-
lita, by Dexter Prince, out of Carrie C, which he purchased
at the Cleveland sale in 1897 for $500. The next spring that
filly's half siBter, Carita by Wildnat, went through a Cleve-
land sale for $155, and last week Bhe trotted a mile in 2:2H,
last quarter in 32£ seconds. 8he is a three year old only.
Her dam, Carrie C, that should take high rank as a producer,
tiotted to a two year old record of 2:27 £, to high wheels, and
is a sister to the noted aire Clay 2:25, by Electioneer.

Some person who has a grudge against Vallejo has lately
been circulating a report that at some past meeting the
purses were not paid at that town. District No. S6, which
is the Vallejo district, has never yet failed to pay its purses
in full, and as long as the present Board of Directors is in
charge it never will. They are all responsible men and
guarantee every stake offered for harness or running horses.
Vallejo will have one of the best meetings on the circuit,
and those who fall to enter horses there will make a mistake.

Mr. Chas Newman, of this city, proprietor of the
Richelieo, has had a stroke of bad lack. His fast mare
Bessie Rankin 2:16J by Altamont foaled a colt by McKinney
a couple of weeks ago, which was dead when found. Bessie
Rankin will be put in training, and is now in the hands of
G. Lapham, who is driving her to pole with Mr. Newman's
other fast pacer, Ruby M. 2:12J, and they are working nicely
together. Ruby M. was bred to Altamont this spring. Mr.
Newman savs he will drive the pair an exhibition mile at
the State Fair against the California team record now held
by Tom Ryder and Belle Button, whose mile in 2:16* is still
the racerecord for a pacing pair, if they continue to improve,
and a mile in 2:15 should not be beyond their reach.

Millard Sanders returned home last week from his suc-
cessful trip to Cleveland and is looking about for promising
yoong horses. Many owners have requested him to open a
public training stable and promised to give him their horses
to train, but Mr. Sanders would rather train a few for the sales-
ring. He made Mr. Boyd an offer for the yearling brother
to Derby Princess and Princess Derby bat the offer was de-
clined. Mr. Sanders is one of the best speed teachers we
have in this State, and this *s evidenced by tbe fact that he
took a green mare and in a few months got her going so fast
that she brought the top price of the Cleveland sale 1 We
hope he will get together another lot of young horses and
train them for the Eastern market, as it is not only profitable
to him but helps the breeding interests of the State.

Superintendent Larsen of Aptos Stock Farm had a
shock last week when he went to the train to receive a mare
that had been sent down to tbe ranch by a prominent D. S.
Army officer to be bred to Capid. The officer had stated that
the mare had "a little suckling colt" at foot and when Mr.
Larsen was notified be naturally expected to see a foal a few
weeks old. Judge his surprise when the car was opened to
find a stud colt more than a year old in the car with
the mare, and examination clearly showed that he was
still getting some sustenance at least from the maternal
font. Larsen with some difficulty got a halter on the "little
suckling" and after gelting him to the farm put him in a box
stall, with the remark: ''That officer may know all about
war fighting Indians and Spaniards and Filipinos, but some-
body, ought to give him a few lessons on the care of 'sucklings'
if he intends to enter very extensively into the horse breed-
ing business. "

" It was is 1845 thatl first commenced breeding horses on
a small scale," said Mr. C J. Hamlin, during a recent inter-
view, " It has always been a great pleasure to me to watch
a bunch of coKs trotting around a pasture with their heads
and tails in the air. In fact, I can think of but one more
pleasant oating sight during a day of leisure and that is too
see a group of bright boys and girls at play. It is a study to
look the colts over, and try to pick cut the future stars of the
turf, as well as it is to try to name the coming statesman
among the children. Daring one of my visits to the farm
last summer I had Mambrino King led out, which was
always my custom. I never came out here without having
seen him. On the occasion in question there were half a
dozen little boys and girls standing around and I bad Mr.
Bradburn put them all on King's back. I tell yoa I never
saw the horse look so noble in my life. He seemed to under-
stand Ibe situation and strutted like a peacock on parade."
Mr. Hamlin visits the farm every Wednesday and Saturday.
He calls them his outing days, and always takes a keen inter-
est in everything.

Five Great Mares

The Year Book for 1899, recently published, contains the
names of 15,827 trotters with records from 2:03J to 2:30; and
the names of 6941 pacers with records from 1:59$ to 2:25.
How many horsemen can recall, off hand, the fastest live
harness mares regardless of gait? Well, here they are —
the trotters, Mix 2:03| and JNancy Hanks 2:0 J; and the
pacers, Lady of the Manor 2:04$, Lena N. 2:05£ and Bessie
Bonehill 2:05|.

Alii 2:03f retired from the track in 1894. Five seasons
have come and gone, bat she continues to be the reigoing
queen of the harness world, with eight champion records to
her credit, viz: World's fastest trotter, world's fastest mare,
fastest heat trotted in a race, 2:05}, which record she shares
with Directum 2:05}, the king of trotters; fastest first heat
trotting, 2:06; fastest third heat trotting, 2:05}, again sharing
the honor with Directum; fastest ninth heat trotting, 2:09J;
fastest three heat race trotting, averages faster than 2:06;
fastest nine heat race trotting, averages a fraction slower
than 2:11.

Nancy Hanks 2:04, second only to Alix, whose record
shades her's but a quarter of a second, figures prominently
in 'he tables of champions, and what she accomplished in
the way of world's records can be seen there. Her five year
old record of 2:09 to high wheel sulky is likely to stand for
all time.

In one respect Fancy Hanks surpasses Alix and all others.
She started in 15 races and won them all, without losing a
heat, except the first heal of her first race. After that
maiden heat, she was never headed in the 45 heats she had to
trot to win the 15 races in which she started. Every trotter
went down before her rapid gait and indomitable courage,
and in her last race she met the mighty Allerton, the cham'
pion of the Wilkes family, and Margaret 8., the largest
money winner of 1890, and the great racing daughter of her
uncle, Director, The total winnings of Margaret S.
amounted to over $21,000. She battled unsuccessfully with
Nancy Hanks twice; Allerton met her once only. Nancy's
record has been beaten just a quarter of a second by one
mare during the past seven years.

Lady of the Manor 2:04$ is third on the list, and the first
among pacing mares, holding two world's records. She was
raised and is owned at Village Farm, near Buffalo, N. Y.,
that great race horse nursery, the pride of the Messrs.
Hamlin. She is a long, racy-looking chestnut, with three
white legs, and a narrow strip in her face; was foaled in
1894, on the last day of May, and measures 15J handB high.
Her sire is Mambrino King, once mildly sneered at as the
"dude stallion," now recognized as one of the most success-
ful of speed getters.

Her dam is Princess Chimes, siBter of Princess Royal 2:20*
8he was driven in her races by E, F. Geers, and now will get
a well earned reBt, for C. J. Hamlin, the shrewdest, oldest,
most experienced and successful horse breeder in America,
has bred her to Direct Hal, the four year old son of Direct
2:05|, that be recently paid $10,000 for. Although this colt
has no record, he is Mr. Hamlin's choice for Lady of the
Manor, queen of pacing mares. . His dam is BesBie Hal by
Tom Hal Jr., sire of Brown Hal 2:12$, Little Brown Jug
2:11$, Hal Pointer 2:04|, etc.; grandsire of Star Pointer
1:59} and The Maid 2:05|t who now shares this record with
Bessie Bonehill and Lottie Loraioe; great-grandsire of Hal
B. 2:04£, winner of nine races last year and nearly $15,000,
nine in 1898 and seven in 1897, etc. Bessie Hal is Tennessee
bred, her dam being by the pacer Prince Pulaski, out of a
mare by Bostwick's Almont Jr.

Direct Hal represents the fastest line of the champion
Dictator family on one side and the whirlwind pacing blood
of Tennessee that has carried the record below two minutes
on the other. That is good enough for a breeder of Mr
Hamlin's originality of thought and experience. The result
will be watched with interest, and the belief is here expressed
that such a mating will be an eminent success.

Lena N, 2:05} is the fourth one of our list. Andy Mc-
Dowell drove her to her record in 1898 at Cleveland, and
from that day she reigned the pacing queen, until supplanted
in 1899 by Lady of the Manor. Her record also tied the
race record with that of Alix and Directum.

Lena N. is a bay, about 15£ bands high, and was bred by
W. E. Dean, of San FranciEco. She is now owned by that
prir.ce of auction buyers, John H. Shults, and is at his Park-
ville Farm, Brooklyn, N. Y., with Sunol 2:08} and a host of
other notables.

The sire of Lena N. i& 8idney 2:19|, a prolific sire of speed
and son of the two good game trottera, Santa Claus 2:17} and
Sweetness 2:21}. by Volunteer. Her dam is by Gen, Benton
who Bired 8nnol'e dam.

Lena N. was bred last season to 8tar Pointer 1:59}, and
bad the misfortune to lose her foal by him this year. It
lived bat a few hours. The loss was a severe one for this
foal had the greatest speed inheritance of any pacer yet
foaled. This year she will be mated with Directly 2:03.}, the
fastest standard bearer of the Dictator family.

Bessie Bonehill 2:05;;, the first paciog mare to take a record
below 2:06, is by a fraction of a second the last of onr quintet.
During her racing career, she earned the sobriquet of the
"Gray Ghost." She undoubtedly has as much speed as any
living pacer. She took a four year old record of 2:103; &od
the following year reduced her record to 2:06| in the bands

of John Dickerson. She was then the world's fastest pacing
mare. Until last year she held the world's record for five
year old paciog mares.

Under any circumstancea, her champion record is a great
one, and places her in the front rank, but to be m*de by a
broodmare certainly enhances her value. It is not generally
known that Bessie was bred at two years to AlatuB 2:09$, son
of Alcyone, and had a handsome chestnut filly, Miss Pearl,
foaled in 1895, owned at Maple Leaf Farm, South Charleston
O., a very fast and well bred young miss that will be out this
year. She undoubtedly has the greatest speed inheritance of
any filly of her age. For a mare to capture a mark of 2:10$
in the third heat of a winning race in which the beats
average within a fraction of 2:12 and a world's record within
two years of the time she was a suckling foal, is surely a dis-
tinction, and possessed, it is believed, by no other mare ex-
cept Bessie Bonehill. A. J. Metson.

Legal Status of Racirjf? Associations.

Judge Rees Again.

The right to breed domestic animals, the Supreme Court
of New York declares, is a right inherent in every citizen,
and all may engage therein without let or hindrance, who
choose so to do. But the right to race them after they are
bred, ander circumstances where they may compete for a
reward, while existing, with some limitations and restrictions
at common law, and also open to all citizens who choose to
engage therein, is limited, though the right itself is preserved
by the law. Consequently, SDch associations, the court holds,
by virtue of the settled policy of the State, have taken upon
themselves a quasi, or sort of public function, and therefore
the public has a rijht and interest therein which does not
attach to a private business conducted by a corporation.
This public character places these corporations in the same
category with bridge, ferry, transportation companies and
others, in which the public has rights which may not be de-
nied either to it or to individuals composing it. Not only
does their public obligation require them to admit all per-
sons to their race meetings who apply for such admission,
subject to such reasonable regulations as may be prescribed
in pursuance of the authority contained in the statute, and
which must operate in their application on all citizens alike,
but the court holds that they have no right to debar forever
persons whose only offense is that it was proper once to deny
them admission because of threatening, improper conduct or
to eject them from the premises for conducting themselves
improperly. The court aho holds that racing is in the
nature of a public amusement, and that the civil rights which
gives to all citizens full and equal privileges in the places
where public amusements are conducted applies thereto.
Finally, the court holds that a person engaged in the breed-
ing cf horses, whose business will be promoted by his being
allowed to enter the premises of the associations, will be
entitled to secure his rights by iojanction against them, if
wrongfully excluded.

The monument erected at Nashville in Mount Olivet
Cemetry in memory of the late Judge Carter, was unveiled
June 3d. The shaft is thirty-three feet seven inches in
height, weighs 80,000 pounds and is built of polished Barre
granite. The base stone is eight feet square. It is a hand-
some monument and will always point out the resting place
of an honest man who never forsook his friends in an hour
of need. The inscription on the monument is: ' 'John J.
Carter, Born Dec. 6, 1848. Perished in the Baldwin fire,
San Francieco, Cal., Nov. 23,1898. Firm in purpose, cool
in judgment, of unflinching courage and stainless integrity
he never compromised principle nor sacrificed honor. He
was distinguished for knightly bearing and abounding
charity, which was free from calculation and without ostenta-
tion. This monument erected by friends and admirers of

the American Turf."

Algol, two years ago rated as one of the best handicap
horses in the West, ran his last race at St. Louis last week.
It was a cheap affair, a condition race for a $400 purse at
seven furlongs, a race intended to aid in his preparation for
the Brighton Beach handicap, which his owners, Darden
& Ryan, had toped to win. He was a 9 to 20 favorite, but
was ridden by a poor jockey, Gilmore, who did not know
how to handle him, 8Ld who was fighting him all the time
at the post. When the final break came, Algol crossed in
front of J. D. Lucas' colt, Hi-Noc-Ker, and the three year
old jumped on him, cutting the tendon of the oft hind leg in
two as cleanly as if it were done with a knife. Despite this
injury, Algol ran second. Prac ic&lly running on three legs,
he raced head and head with Hi-Noc-Ker, drew away in
the stretch, and was winning when Tulla Fonso challenged
and beat bim out a length.

Mempbis (Teon.). June 5. — Capt. J. H. Rees, the presid-
ing race judge, arrived home this morning from Chicago,
where he successfully thwarted the eflorts of the Chicago
Jockey Clob to reinstate Jockey Dugan, whom Capt, Rees
ruled oft at Hawthorne last summer for the alleged pulling
of Harry Nutter. When asked if there was anv chance for
Dugan to be restored to good standing Captain Rees replied:
"Just one. The same chance that will be given to Troxler,
Beauchamp, Everett, Stewart and other boys who have
done wrong, and that is in giving us the names of the parties
who put them up to the pulling of the horses. Then, and
not until then, shall 1 recommend their reinstatement." —
Cincinnati Enquirer,

This is a novel route to reinstatement. All. any jockey or
owner, who has come under the mighty ban of Judge Rees,
has to do to secure a return to good standing is to confess
that be pulled horses and who instigated him to pull them;
to declare openly to the world that he is a thief so that he
can be restored to an equal plane with honest boys.

The arrogance of Judge Rees' position in keeping a bunch
of the best riders in the West down because they will no1
announce themselves as race horse burglars should attract
the attention of the Turf Congress.

Evidence further than one man's opinion should be pro-
duced that these boys have been stealing. Perhaps it has
already been done, but the public, in whose interest these
rulings were made, knows nothing of such evidence. The
jddge who sets a boy down for pulling ahorse should in.
vestigate the matter to the bottom and rule ofl all who are
implicated. It is easy to assume that boys pull horses, and
doubtless Judge Rees is right in the great majority of
instances. And it is easier to conclude others connected
with the pulling when once the judicial mind has determined
that a race has been intentionally lost. But the same judge
who detects guilt in the jockey should try to locate the others
who have been behind him. Some method should be adopted
other than coercing a confession of fraud from the boy, no
matter whether he is guilty or innocent. A boy who has
any sense at all, or who has any connections whose heads
contain gray matter, would not confess if be were guilty, and
how much less apt would he be to invent a confession if he
were innocent. Who is going to ride a boy who has declared
to the world that be is a thief? No honest trainer, for he
wants none such; not the cheating trainer for he likes to
stack his own cards, not have them stacked on him. A boy
who has openly admitted that he has been guilty of pulling
horses, even if he is reinstated, is like a soldier going to
battle without a gun. — Thoroughbred Record.

Advance Guard, Carruthers & Shields' good tbree year
old, won the Canadian Derby at Fort Erie last Tuesday. It
was a lively race, but Advance Guard was much the best colt
in it. Radford, the New York importation, although a
maiden, was held favorite, and of the others Lampglobe was
most fancied. Lewis got Lampglobe off" in front and stayed
there until near the end. In the stretch Taral gave Advance
Guard his head and won handily, not extended. It was a
popular victory, as Advance Guard was a two year old
favorite on the Canadian circuit last summer. The time
was 2:0S£.

Because of bis victories in the Metropolitan Handicap,
in the Special Sweepstakes at Gravesend, Hon. Perry Bel'
mont's horse Ethelbert will have to take up a penalty of
three pounds in the Suburban, making his weight 130 pounds
instead of 127, as originally handicapped. He oow occupies
the post of honor in this respect, Imp's impost Btill being
128 pounds, as her victory in the Parkway Handicap, which
was worth but about $1600, added no penalty. Kinley Mack's
victory in the Brooklyn Handicap adds three pounds to his
weight, making it 125 pounds. Kilmarnock will have to
carry 109 pounds, as he picks up a penalty of eight pounds
for winning the Withers Stakes at Morris Park.

At the Traps

The Lincoln Gun Club shoot at Ingleside to-morrow will
be the principal trap shooting attraction on the Association
grounds. An interesting feature of the day will be the
twelve man team race for the NeuBtadter trophy now held
by the Lincolns.

At the lire bird traps a return race for the Olympic Gun
Club live bird championship medal will take place in the
forenoon between W. H. Marshall and M, O. Feudner.

The Pastime Gun Club of San Diego announce their
second annual blue rock tournament for June 24th and 25ib,
In addition to a valuable list of merchandise prizes the club
will add $100 in cash for division among the winning shoot-
ers. The card for the first day embraces ten events at ten,
fifteen, twenty and twenty-five targets, the concluding race
for the day being the "merchandise shoot." The program
for the second day embraces ten contests at ten, fifteen,
twenty and twenty-five birds. The sixth event is the Fano
Trophy contest. This trophy, valued at $50, is to be con-
tested for at each annual tournament of the club; twenty-five
bine rocks, entrance $2, birds included, high gans. Trophy
to go to the shooter making the highest score, $5 to second
high gun and $3 to third. Winner of the trophy will re-
ceive the entrance money, less price of birds, at the next
tournament. Entrance for the initial shoot $1.

Squal shooting, -Sargent system, American Association
rules to govern, except in the money division, which will be
divided as follows : "Divide the net purse by the total of
birds broken in the three classes, viz — race at fifteen birds,
puree $84. A breaks 15; B, 14; C, 13; total 42. $84 divided
by 42 is $2. A receives $30, B $28 and C $26. Side pools
will be in order for each event. The club will donate cash
prizes for first and second high average guns and a sealed prize
for gun nearest to but under 75 per cent. M. Chick, Fred
N. Schofield and Frank 8. Ecker are the committee of ar-
rangements.

Olympic Gun Club members who fancy live bird trap
shooting rolled up some creditable scores at Ingleside last
Sunday. The birds were an unusually hardy fast lot and
kept the shooters frequently guessing. A strong wind
across the traps and a cold raw day made rather uncomfort-
able weather conditions for those participating. In the club
race five men, Feudner, Nauman, Sweeney, Owens and
"Sands" scored straight. The two first named divided the
clnb added money for the champion class, class A money
was won by the other three shooters named. The purse for
claes B was won by H. Kullman. A six bird pool followed
the club race, Height and Nauman dividing the purse. Six
and twelve bird practice was indulged in by most of the shooters
present. The results of the day's shoot were the following
scores.

The Empire regular monthly shoot at the Alameda
Junction grounds last Sunday was participated in by a large
number of shot gun enthusiasts during the prevalence ot
very foggy weather. The honors of the day were captured
by A. J. Webb who was high man in the club champion-
ship, State championship trophy and Schumacher handicap
trophy races. In the money match, La Motte won first,
Allen second, Hauer third and Howlett fourth class purses
respectively. Fish won the first prize in the handicap mer-
chandise race, Lambert second and Webb third, he shooting
oil a tie with Rowland, Peltier and Haupt. A perusal of
the scores given below will show great improvement in the
work of a number of individual shooters, whilst the persist-
ency of ten target practice indulged in by some of the new
members ought to create a new crop of cracks for next
season's contests. The scores made during the day's shooting
follow:

Club Championship race, twenty-five targets —

The Olympic Gun Club live bird championship medaj
was the bone of contention between M, O. Feudner and W
H. Marshall, who met at Iogleside on Tuesday forenoon,
each with his favorite shot gun and a case of smokeless shells.
The result of the race was a tie, eaoh shooter scoring twenty

CARTRIDGE AND SHBLL.

A live bird shoot at tbe Canvasback Shooting Clab ground8
np on tbe Suisun marsh is one of the coming events that will
be thoroughly enjoyed by those participating— and the bear
will dance.

The Board of Supervisors of San Joaquin county have
passed an ordinance shortening the open season one month
for male deer in that county — the seasons opens August 15th
and closes October 15th.

Four beautiful engraved silver caps are displayed in the
show window of a market street jeweler. These prizes will
be distributed among the four high guns of the California
Wing Club at tbe end of the present live bird season.

Deer hunters have now but three weeks to wait for the
opeoing day of the season, which commences on Sunday,
July 15th. From many localities comes the cheering news
that deer are plentiful. Sportsmen who favor dove shooting
will find the toothsome and swift flying bird numerous in
many districts, the open season for doves commences also on
Jnly 15th. A scbedual of county laws governing the open
season for doves and deer will be found in another column.

The open season for dove shooting under the State law com-
mences July 15th and end-; on February 15th following. The
changes made by county boards of supervisors in the dura-
tion of tthe open season are as follows :

Butte-Aug. l to Feb. 15.

El Dorado-July 20 to Feb. 1.

Fresno— Aug. 15 to Feb 15.

A. B. Hwartout and B. Bruck, of St. Helens, representing
250 members of the Game Protective Association up the
vallev, appeared before tbe Supervisors of Napa county, on
the 13th irst., and asked the Board to appoint a game
warden for Napa county. Mr. Bruck stated that tbe people
in his locality wanted Mr. 8wartout appointed to the place,
and also said that the deer law was being violated near St.
Helena. The matter was continued until the July meeting
of the Board.

A quail's nest was broken up during haying operations on
a ranch near Pengrove, Sonoma county, recently. Mr.
Himebaach, the rancher, picked up a number of the un-
broken eggs, and taking them to the house, placed them in
an incubator containing several hundred hen eggs in the
process of hatching. The quail eggs were almost forgotten
until recently, when seven voung quail made their appear-
ance in the incubator. The little quail chicks are lively and
healthy, and are able to feed themselves without trouble.

A rifle barrel held in a vise will not shoot accurately.
Tbe passage of a bullet through the bore expands the barrel,
which is, to a certain degree, elastic. The expansion and
return to normal status are in undulating curves. Tbe
pressure of the vise interrupts the curves, chokes the barrel
at tbe point of pressure and probably deforms the bullet in
its cross-section. To test a rifle, rest the barrel near the
muzzle upon a bag filled with sand. The spring of the barrel
from the rest will cause it to shoot one point higher than
when held off-hand, an error that all riflemen understand.

One phase of game protection in England is exemplified
by the following case: At Woodbridge Petty Sessions,
Arthur Jacobs, a Sutton youth, aged fourteen, was charged
with unlawfully taking sevtn partridge's eggs from a nest by
the roadside, at Sutton, on April 29. b. John Green, farm
steward to to Mr. Waller's Exors., prosecuted. George
Cloulen, laborer, proved the case, saying that he was going
along the road with defendant, when they saw a nest with
seven eggs in. Defendant sucked five of them, and handed
two to another boy. Prosecutor did not wish to press tbe
case, and the bench fined defendant, whom the chairman
called a "Billy bov," 6d an egg, witb costs 12s.

Many articles have appeared in Eastern sportsmen's
journals concerning spring shooting, a subject we fare sorry
to say that was almost entirely overlooked by the recent
game convention in this city. The matter is an important
one regardiog game protection and will ere long force itself
upon tbe serious attention of Coast sportsmen and others
interested in saving game from a too rapid extermination.

Migratory game birds — among which the chief sufferers
from spring shooting have been duck and snipe — cannot be
said to be the property of any one State, as mav be affirmed
of quail and grouse and others, says June Outing. There-
fore a law should be enacted by Congress prohibiting spring
shooting in every State and Territory of the United States.

Surely the situation is sufficiently serious to warrant
national legislation, for there can be no doubt that unless
spring shooting is abandoned absolutely, tbe day is not far
distant when ducks will become as scarce as wild pigeoo.

The various State laws touching spring shooting are in
the majority of cases entirely insufficient, and in the case of
the most important Eastern States are distinctly bad.

For example, Maine, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania permit spring shooting up to May 1st.
The very States in which we should naturally expect tbe
most enlightenment, exhibit the least. This is due, of
course, to the preponderance on the game commissions of
tbe politician, who has more interest in bis friends, the pot-
hunters and dealers, than in the survival of bird life. Here
in New York, with Governor Roosevelt and his recentlv ap-
pointed commission in office, we confidently expect spring
shooting to be soon forbidden.

Indiana, Ohio, Iowa, Massachusetts and Maryland show
some slieht improvement, their close season beginning April
15th. Virginia, Missouri, Kentuckv, Utah, North Carolina
and the District of Column r prohibit shooting from April
1st, and are therefore a bit better. Florida and California.
with March 1st, and Texa?, with March 15th as tbe begin-
ning of the close seasoe, are a further improvement.

Open Season for Deer and Doves.

The following is a synopsis of the county laws defining the
open seasons for hunting bucks and shooting doves. The
State law prescribes the open season for male deer only com-
mencing on July 15th and ending October 15th. The
changes from the statutory season on deer are as follows:

Alpine— Sept. 2 to Oct. 15.

Alameda— July 15 to Oct. 1.

Colusa— Aug. 15 to Oct. 15.

Calaveras— flept. 1 to Oct. 15. The use of dogs prohibited.

Contra Costa— July 20 to Sept. 2.

Hamboldt — UBe of dogs prohibited.

Answers to Correspondents.

Editor Breeder and Sportsman— Under American Association
Rales, a shooter fires first, barrel at a live bird and knocks him down.
He opens bis gnn (but does not leave the score) and then closes It
and fires his second barrel, killing the bird. How should it be scored?

A Subscribes.

The Association rules make no reference to the act of open-
ing or breaking the gun at the score. The inference would
be that the shooter was through and in effect such action is
practically the same as leaving the score. Some sportsmen
of experience claim that the opening of the gun after firing
one barrel and before the shooter leaves tbe score does not
abridge his right to use the second barrel, if necessary, as tbe
shooter is entitled to the use of both barrels and the opening
of the gun during the interval between firing the first and
second barrel is of no particular importance as conflicting
witb tbe rules of live bird shooting. The construction will
hardly apply, except in cases where the local club counten-
ances such practice. The shooter should remain at tbe score
with his gun ready to use the second barrel, if required, until
the bird is retrieved and the referee announces the result
If the bird was strong enough to need a second barrel the
shooter would properly be in position to fire without any
chance of having the result challenged.

During the Grand American Handicap, the Interstate and
other important live bird events in the East, a shooter who
opens his gun is not allowed to use the second barrel, the fact
of bis not leaving the score is not taken into consideration,
his action is construed as evidence that he is through shoot-
ing for that round. If he willingly on an uncalled for
technicality surrenders his right to use the second barrel by
such action that is his loss This unwritten law of the traps
for live bird Bhooting also prevails on the Association
grounds at Ingleside. There being no reason for a shooter
to open his gun before leaving the score, if be fails to kill
with the first barrel ard then uses the second after having
opened his gun, the bird ie scored a lost bird.

In reference to the above query we are inclined to say that
the bird should be scored "lost."

Secretary Gage has prepared the following set of regula-
tions for tbe protection of the salmon fisheries of Alaska, as
author'z d lo dc by the act of March 3, 1899, providing a
code of criminal procedure for the district of Alaska. The
regulations are as follows :

1. The provif-iona of this actare applicable to all territorial waters
of Alaska, including tide waters, lagoons, bays, coves, straits, bayous,
rivers. Btreams and the beach approaches to the same.

2 Traps, whether "fixed orBiationary obstructions" (built of piles
and webbine). or constructed of webbing and floats and Busceptlble
of removal from place lo place, are declaied to be obstructions which
"impede the ascent of salmon to their spawning grounds," and their
use Ib hereby forbidden. Provided that this regulation shall lake
effect and be In lorce on nud after January 1, 1901, except as provided
in Chapter 12, Section 1L0, of the act of Mar'h 3, 1?90.

8. It is forbidden to lay any Felne, gill or o'her net within 1C0
yards of the month on either tide, tor immediately abreast of the
mouth of any river or stream whereby in the felling or hauling of
the said Beine, gill or otbernet it may drift wholly or partially across
and operate to close the mouth of said river or stream.

4. The wanton destruction of Balmon is declared to be unlawful.
Whoever is guilty thereof is hereby declared to be subject to the
penalties provided lor specific violations of the act referred to.

5. All persnna. companies or corporations engaged In Balmon
packing, salting or smoking in the district of Alaska shall make de-
tailed annual reports of such business, upon forms furnished by this
department, to the agent of the Treasury for tbe protection of the sal-
mon fisheries, covering all such facts as may be required for tbe in-
formation of tbe department. Such reports shall be Bworn to by the
superintendent, manager or other person having knowledge of the
facts, a separate blank form being used for each establishment In
cases where more than one cannery or saltery 1= conducted by a per-
son, company or coiporalion; and the same Bhall be flied with tbo
sn(d agent at the close of the fishing season, and not later than
November lBt.

6. During the period of Inspection of the salmon fisheries by the
special agent of this department (he person In cbaree of each fishery
visited shall furnish tbe said agent with such Information regarding
the run of fish, tbe pack secured, thh probable results of tbe season's
work and Buch other facts as may be required to afford him a basis
for an Intelligent preliminary report of the year's business and the
state of the fisheries.

8triped bass anglers are having much sport in many localities
at present. Every day and night the estuary in the vicinity
of the Oakland cotton mill is crowded with boats containing
Btnped bass fishermen. Numerous fish are caught, the aver-
age weight being under five pounds, larger fish, some weigh-
ing as much as twenty pounds, are also caught from time to
time. Among those who have made catches across the bay
are Chas. Briedeostein, Jaa. Pariser, Al Wilson, W. R. Mc-
Farland, "Doc" Watt, "Doc" Cox, "Sugarhouse," E. E.
Daverkosen, JaB. S. Turner, Dr. Levison, Bosawell Kenniff
and many others.

In the small sloughs near Alviso striped bass have been
caught in generous quantity and of good size.

A fish weighing sixty pounds is reported to have been
caught near the mouth of the Salinas river recently.

The Bassio Club made Pete Walsh's ark near Black Point
their base of operations last Sunday. This being their first
excursion in quest of the gay and festive bass they conducted
their campaign from the hurricane deck of the Petalnma
creek bridge. Eight nice sized fish were caught and placed
in the baskets to tbe delight and surprise of the anglers.
Jules Bruns likes the game, he says a rod should have a
pistol grip on the butt to make it work properly. Minstrel
Karney will train his dog Major McCorker to retrieve tbe
fish, he says "jabbing a fish with a three jointed gaff is an
unsportsmanlike way of gathering a dead bird."

Reports from Petaluma creek indicate that striped bass are
numerous in that and adjacent waters. A thirty pound fish
was caught by Capt. Walker near Lakeville last Sunday.
Ten members of the Petaluma Gun Club fishing near the
club house on the creek last Snnday caught 121 fish, averag-
ing from two to five pounds in weight. The Sundry before
98 fish were caught at the same place. Trolling for these
fish with only a clam on the hook for a lure has been a very
successful method of getting a strike. The boat Bhonld not
have much speed however.

A good story is told of two knights of the rod who recently
journeyed to Pilarcitos lake for a day's fishing. The start
was made from this city on a Saturday evening in a vehicle
drawn by a horse whose daily routine of usefulness is served
on a butter and egg delivery route. The long trip down the
country road waa not to the nag's liking so it wsb a case of
balk at every hill. Going over tbe mountains was so much
different from stopping to deliver a roll of butter or dozen
eggs every half block that the horse went on strike and our
two fishermen, the plumber and the egg merchant, were
compelled to jump out and put their shoulders to the wagon
to force the plug along. They arrived at their destination
late in the morning tired but not discouraged. On tbe road
back home, the tactics were reversed, the plumber walked two
thirds of the way home actually pulling the unwilling horse
along by the bridle. This was all the more enjoyable be-
cause all the other fishermen at the lake were aware of their
predicament and they had much pleasant advioe to offer as
they paBEed the toilers on their weary way to the city. Our
anglers have agreed that the wagon is all right, but it needs
a new horse for a fishing trip.

Recent reports from Sims are gladdening to the heart of
tbe angler. The fishing conditions have been steadily im-
proving. Fishermen at that point now are daily making
good catches of nice sized tiout. The season at Sims was
somewhat late as anglers on the river (here found out three
weeks ago, only energetic and persistent work brought
results Tbe stream was full of the larvae of tbe caddis fiv
and the fish only took the fly grudgingly. The "Caddis fly"
waB about the best killing lure and that after six o'clock in
the evening. Conditions now are decidedly more favorable
to the angler, the morning and evening fishing is of a nature
to make tbe fisherman happy for the time being. The royal
coachman, professor and gray hackle are giving way now to
the brown hackles, cowdung and magpie flies.

T. C. Wisel was arraigned befnre Justice Wallace, of San
Jose, on the 11th inst. on a charge of violating the fish and
game law. He was charged with having caught trout on the
headwaters of Agate creek before April 1st. He pleaded
not guilty and was released npon bail in tbe sum of $100.
His trial has been set for June 27tb, at 10 A. >t

Shasta Springe on the upper Sacramento is mother Mecca
just now for the rod wielder. At the upper soda spring
plenty of one and one and a half pound fish have been
caught duriog the past week. The blue dun and whirling
dun on No. 10 books are the best flies, fishing is at its flood
after four o'clock in the afternoon.

"Doc" Watt arrived in town last Monday morning with
a happy smile and a No. 3 creel filled with a nice mess rf
brook trout he caught in Boulder creek. It took him just
two hours to walk from the ferry to Montgomery street,

A shipment of American black bass was made to France
and they have flourished so marvelouely that they are com-
mon articles of diet in the hotels and restaurants. When
the bass were introduced the French streams were practically
deserted.

THE FARM.

Hoes and Olover Specialties.

The man who has little capital except land
can boild np with the chances of makirjg
money better with hogs and clover than any
other farm crops, but to do this he must make
a specialty of the business. There is do
better mortgage lifter than hogs, bnl not every
farmer knows how to raise hogs to the best
advantage. As a matter of experience I con-
sider that we have yet a good deal to learn
about heg raising, although some of us have
approached pretty close to the ideal method.
I suppose I have lost as many hogs through
cholera as many breeders, and' I am sure I
have failed to fatten others as fast as they
were intended by nature simply because I was
ignorant of the right way. But a man learns
a lot through experience and hard work, and
I have n jt been the last to take advantage of
my own failures and successes as well as those
of my friends and neighbors.

I think now that I can raise hogs with as
little tendency to cholera as most farmersi
and I believe the whole Becret is simply in
starting them right, feeding them properly
and keeping their sanitary surroundings as
they ought to be. We have all reached the
conclusion that clover is essential to hog rais-
ing, and that a too heavy diet of corn is bad
for them. I go farther and say that if yon go
to the opposite extreme and feed too much,
clover, you are not going to fatten the hogs as
profitably as they should be, and you will lose
nearly as much as if a few were lost each year
with the cholera. Clover is an excellent
summer food for the hoga, and I tnrn mire in
the field to feed on it, but at the same time 1
give them feed all through the summer. I
feed them daily in summer with shorts and
corn, and this helps to fatten them. An ex-
clusive diet of clover makes them thin and lean
and aB some say makes them ready to lay en
fat when winter fed on corn. But it is much
better to let them lay on a little of the fat in
snmmer while they are growing, and not
leave it all for winter. When winter comes
I do not turn them suddenly on a corn diet,
which is apt to make them study and heavy
even in cold weather. On the contrary, I
continue their mixed diet cf clover bay and
grass, oats, wheat, bran, shorts and roots. I
add more of the train diet in cold weather be"
cause they require more for heating purposes,
and besides it is the sesBon for fattening. Fnt
I never give them an exclusive corn or grain
diet winter or summer, any more than I give
them a clover diet without the corn. The
combination of the two, I believe, always pro-
duces the best result. E. P. Smith.

The , atienis should be fed anything they
fancy and after the fever Bubsides and the
appetite returns stop the other medicine and
Bubstitule the following: Sulphate of quinine,
four drams; tincture of the perchloride of
iron, one and a half ounces; water one pint.
The dose is two ounces three times daily un-
til the horse feels entirely well and all dis-
charge ceases. The disease is infectious and
for this reason affected animals should be
kept separate from other horBes.

Salt and Ashes for Hogs.

Dookinjr Lambs.

Treatment for Pinkeye.

Symptoms of pinkeye are in Btifl shoulders,
one or more legs swell badly, sometimes to
the body. The eyes become swollen with
matter in them, look glassy and in fact, the
horses become blind or nearly so. The fol-
lowing treatment is recommended : Place the
sick horBeB in a clean, airv, well ventilated
etable and keep pure water btfjre them all
the time. Every four houre — jftener in bad
cases — give each animal affiCed two drams cf
saltpeter and one dram of fluid extract of
gentian root in one ouoce of whisky nt-d one
ounce of water. Add ten drop3 cf the fl jid
extract of belladonna leaves if there is a c.ue,h
accompanying the other symptoms mentioned
Keep the eyes constantly civered oiih a soft
cloth kept wet with a solution cf forty drops
of chloro-naptholeum in one quart of water.

One item of feed which should never be
neglected is a good supply of salt and ashes to
which the hogs can have access at all limes.
Wood ashes can always be had and the bogs
should have all they will eat. When no1
convenient to give ashes, charcoal is a good
substitute, and even soft coal will be eaten for
want of something better, says an exchange.
Hogs are never irjured by eating all the ashes
they want, but it is Dot safe to give large
amounts of Bait to animals not accustomed to
Us use. The salt and ashes mixture ehonld
be kept in a low box uoder a shed where it
will be protected from rain, and should con-
sist of about two quarts of salt for each bushel
of ashes. Many feeders prefer to add a few
ounces of copperas to the mixture. Free
access to such a mixture will do much to pre-
serve the health of hogB, and bows which have
had an abundance of such food will rarely eat
their youDg.

The mutton sheep of the three-quarters or
seven-eighths blood do not thrive is so large
flocks as are ordinarily found on the range.
The heavier the sheep the less its inclination
to range for food. The merino is first to pick
over the pasture and the heavier sheep follow
in order of size, le -viog the heaviest ones and
those which require the best conditions to
crop the poorest grasses, after they have been
trampled over and become unpalatable. It is
apparent that whichever of these types are
best suited to the production of mutton, they
are Dot suited to each other and should Dot be
required to run together. It is also evident
that we must limit the per cent, of coarse
wool blood or limit the size of the flock. We
are confronted by the questions: Shall we go
back tc the merino rams of our own raising
and suffer the consequences of unfavorable
variatioD or can we Dot find some pare breed
which will endure running in large flocks and
thus furnish suitable rams for our use? Be-
fore we resort to these expedients let us also
ask: May not our rapidly changing conditions
soon bring us to a point where we will de-
crease the size of our flocks or break tbem np
into smaller bunches of four hundred or five
hundred each, and thus overcome the diffi-
culty? Is not the necessity for smaller flocks
one of the penalties imposed upon the success-
ful breeder of mutton sheep? This will cer-
tainly be tbe condition if the range-leasing
system is to prevail.

I have a method of docking lambs that
gives such eood satisfaction and is easily done.
I believe it will meet with your approval,
writes 1 G. Bavcraft to an exchange. First,
I need no one to assist in the operation (un-
less it be to catch the lambs and bring them
to me). I take the little lellows and place
their body close back to hindquarters between
my ankles facing opposite to which I am fac-
ing, take hold of tail with left hand, raise it
up towards me, and, by pressing thumb along
under side of tail, select the joint that I think
will leave the tail the proper lergth and with
a sharp knife cut right through the joint (not
culling the bone at all). The knife gee"
through so easily that it makes a smooth
wound and heals quickly. I always aim (o
draw the koife so as lo leave tbe skin on upper

side of tail quite a little longer than uoder
side, and just as soon as the tail is off, I fold
over the cut end and press it firmly for a
minute, and tbis causes the blood to clot,
which prevents bleeding.

Some people have a mania for Baving old
and worn out things. Once a year there
should be a clearing up time, and the old
Iruck which accumulates around the farm
homestead should be disposed of, Ihe old iron
to go to the junk dealer, the odds and ends of
wood stuff to the wood pile and the worthless
rubbish into a bonfire. It is the same way in
tbe house. Most women want more closets to
put more old truck in. They save rags and
rags, thinking some day they will make a rag
carpel. Better stop a rtgman some day aa he
drives by and get rid of all the old trash.
Nearly every woman can better afford lo put
in her spare time reading and resting than in
fussing making rag carpets.

Fowl Hints.

Dast is life to bens.

Feed little at a time and feed often.

Usually the sooner a sick hen is killed the
better.

Pea fowls are generally ill-natured.

Give the fowls both room and reason for
scratching.

Exercise is better than drags as a stimulant
for egg production.

Most of the diseases of poultry are the
result of poor management.

Continued early breeding will soon take the
life oat of pare bred fowls.

It is a Bafe rale with poultry to keep some
of the old fowls for breeding.

For the poultry house cement makes the
best floor.

Two-thirds glycerine and one-third car-
bolic acid is a good remedy for scaly legs.

Confinement and inertness generate vicious
habits, such as egg eating and feather pulling

A good farm breed is one that is hardy, a
good layer, good brooder, fine meated and
readily fattened.

Do not imagine when you pay a high price
for eggs for hatching that all the chickens are
good for breeding purposes.

Feather eating is rarely acquired where the
fowls have a free range, bat is quite common
where fowls are closely confined.

The most useful knowledge ib that which,
when put into practice, will keep the fowls
healthy. Prevention is better than a cure.

Many a case of indigestion may be traced
to a heavy feed in the morning and the next
meal taken from the leavings after it has been
trampled in the dirt.

With turkeys for breeders select both males
and females that are broad across the back,
squarely built and short legged, carefully
avoiding in-breeding.

To fatten fowls economically they matt not
be allowed their liberty or much of the food
will literally ran away. If allowed too much
light they will fret on account of their con-
finement

In buying fowls, especially for breeding,
they should be reasonably well matured, in
order that their good points as well as dis-
qualifications may be seen. While it is pos-
sible to see that a fowl is single or rose combed,
feather legged or clean, old or very young,
there are many other points that cannot be
determined upon until the fowh are reason-
ably well matured. — American Grange Bulle
tin.

Famish shade for the fowls and chicks.
They'll thrive better for it.

Palace and
Grand Hotels.

The high standard of excel-
lence maintained by these
hotels is recognized and ap-
preciated by a fastidious and
discriminating clientele who
regularly make them their
headquarters when visiting
San Francisco.

The tourist, pleasure seeker
and the business man will find
the location particularly de-
sirable, being in close proxim-
ity to the wholesale and shop-
ping districts, places of amuse-
ment, and with the further
advantage of having street cars
to all points of interest pass
the entrance.

GETTING READY AT SANTA ROSA,

There is life at the Santa Rosa track, and at least a hundred trotters and pacers
are daily being driven over it to prepare them for the races which will be given there
during the Fourth of July week by the Breeders Association. A hundred more horses
are either on their way to the track or will start within the next few days On Mon-
day two car loads will leave Los Angeles, containing some of the champion trotters of

• » 4Mhli

s^ — fUlwiiiii ■! n 1

DR. FRASSE 2:12}^.

the State, and the same day at least four carloads will pull out from Oakland headed
for the track where the harness horse has held full sway during the past two years

That the meeting will be the best attended of any that has been held for many
years is certain. All over the Coast from Oregon to Arizona the horsemen are talk-
ing of it, and the people of Sonoma are already purchasing tickets to attend. Every-
one seems to be enthusiastic and feel that this meeting, above a 1 others, will be one
of close races and the hottest sort of contests.

The 2:11 trot is the race that is attracting the most interest as seldom has such a
field come together at any but the big meetings on the grand circuit in the East.
There are six horses with records better than 2 :13 and not one in the lot but stands a
good chance to lower the record of the race.

Zombro 2:11 is the fastest horse by the records in the event, and though he has
been off the turf for a year, has been working in his old time form and is confidently
expected by his owner, Mr. Beckers of Los Angeles, to be a better horse than ever in
his life, and he was a pretty good colt when he took a record of 2:12 as a three year
old and was only beaten a head by the aged horse Iago in 2 :11 at Sacramento. Zom-
bro is by McKinney 2-.11J4, out of Whisper by Almont Lightning and is not only one
of the handsomest of stallions but one of the best bred ones in America

The next in point of speed is Addison 2:11)^, a son of James Madison, that has
a bright future before him as a race horse, as he just began getting good last year
when taken charge of by Ed Lafferty, who still has him in charge. The well known
horseman, T. J. Crowley, one of the most energetic of the Directors of the Trotting
Horse Breeders Association, formed such a high opinion of Addison's speed and
racing qualities last year that he secured a lease on the horse for this summer's cam-
paign and he believes that Addison and Lafferty will be a hard pair to beat in any
class. Addison is one of the best gaited trotters in California and his speed is very
great. Last year he was a little unsteady, "a little of the Anteeo in him," said one
horseman, but he is going very nicely now and should make the horse that beats him
on a good track step a mile in about 2:08 or better.

Neeretta 2:11M, was the sensational mare of last year on the California circuit.
She started out with a record of 2 :16% which she had made the year previous as a
three year old at Santa Rosa, and reduced her mark to 2:V2}i in the third heat of her
first race and afterwards knocked three-quarters of a second off that Out of six

starts she won five races and was second in the other, her winnings amounting to
$2700, more than any other trotter campaigned in California last year She is now
said to be in good shape, although a splint gave her a good deal of trouble this spring.

Phoebe Childers 2:12, owned by Mr. L E. Clawson, of San Francisco, stands
next in the speed list of the horses that will race in the fast class at the Breeders
meeting. She is one of but three foals that were begotten by Sir Roderick, a son of
Dictator that the late Mr Hobart brought to California from Kentucky. She got a
mark of 2:26J£ at Santa Rosa, and showed eo much speed that Tom Keating took her
East in 1898 and raced her through the Grand Circuit, where she was beaten in the
majority of her races, but on reaching Los Angeles reduced her record to 2 :12 in a
race where first money was about $60. She is acting well in her work at Alameda
track and should be inside the money in the best of company this year.

McKinney has another representative that will be in the 2:11 trots this year, in
Hazel Kinney 2:12>£, a good mare that took her record at Joliet, Illinois, in 1898, the
year she was campaigned in the East by W. G. Durfee. She is now in the hands of
P W. Hodges and was bred to Stam B 2:11J^ last month. She has been showing a
great deal of speed in her work since Mr Hodges began working her and he thinks
she ought to be able to get a part of the money if the heats are not trotted better
than 2:10 this year.

Farmer Bunch will have Dr. FraBse 2:12)^ as his representative in the fast trot,
and as he has reduced this young horse's record every year since he first broke
and trained him, believes he can knock a second or two off the record again this
season Dr. Frasse is sound and all right, and as bis picture on this page shows, is
a handsome horse. His sire, Iran Alto 2:12J^, only leads him a quarter of a second
in speed and Mr. Bunch will try to keep him in the lead and is inclined to the
belief that 2 :09 will be Iran Alto's record before the close of the year. Bunch will
probably start Iran Alto in some of the 2 :11 and free for all classes, his object being
to give him as low a mark as possible and J. W. Rea, his owner, says he wants the
premier stallion of Vendome Stock Farm to have as low a record as his sire, Palo
Alto 2 :08%.

There is plenty of stall room at Santa Roaa now but those who wait until the
latter part of next week to ship their horses there will have to take their chances.
Two hundred horses will be stabled at the track by Wednesday next.

The Sacramento track, since the new top dressing of five
inches of clay was put on it last month, is without doubt the
very best track ever seen in California. The turns are thrown
up at just the proper angle, and the turns and stretches are
wider than on the majority of California tracks. There will
be one of the best fairs held at Sacramento this year that the
State Agricultural Society has ever given and the harnes8
horse owners should enter their horses liberally at the meet-
ing.

Cleveland Track Notes.

[American Sportsman.]

T. E. Keating has taken stalls in the big barn at Doan
Brook Farm. When he moved over Mr. Cummer's cham-
pion matinee trotter Temper 2:09! to wagon accompanied
the other horses in his string. On Tuesday Anaconda paced
a quarter in 29 seconds and the four year old colt by Direct
stepped a mile in 2:15.

On Wednesday Don Thomas stepped Azite in 2: 19 J. The
old champion seems to be taster than for years past and
Thomas expects to make a new wagon record with him.
It was not until the middle of August that he could show
a mile in 2:20 last year.

As Temper is eligible to the 2:13 classes, and hauled a
wagon last fall in 2:09}, T. E. Keating thinks she will prove
a winner on the turf, so has made an arrangement with her
owner, W. M. Cummer, to campaign her this year.

Monterey is going good for John Splan. On Saturday
he stepped a mile in 2:17, last half in 1:05.

The chestnut gelding Blondie, by Electrite, has been
shipped up from Dallas, Texas, and is now in W . O. Foote's
stable to be campaigned. It is said this trotter is consider-
ably better than a 2:10 horse. At Dallas last fall Alverda
Akin met him in the 2:18 class, and he gave her her first
beating in her campaign of IS starts. His heats were trotted
in 2:13*, 2:13} and 2:14}.

It was reported at the Cleveland track on Wednesday that
John Dickerson is no longer training Senator McCarty's
stable of campaigners, including Joe Patchen.

The East Vies Farm campaigning stable arrived at the
Cleveland track Wednesday morning and took quarters with
Heating's horses. The farm intends to campaign six head.
Burt Shank, who took the string in charge when John
Kelly left the establishment last season, came with the
stable. Gayton looks to be in splendid condition but has
not had any stiff work. It was generally believed that
Coney 2:07| was in McDonald's stable at Albany but tbe
horse spent the winter at Mr. Butler's farm and is now in
the racing string at Cleveland track. Keating has not ye
made up his mind that Coney is not a high class horse, so the
son of McKinney will be given another trial this year. The
following are in the stable :

Gaylon 2:09}, b s by Allerton — Lucy Wilton by Wilton.

Conev 2:071, br g by McKinoey — Grace Kaiser, by Kaiser.

Miss Jay 2:11}, b m by Jay Bird — Lena Rose by Alcyone.

Miss Kate 2:151, b m by Direct — Fanny K. by Redwood.

Cole Direct, br c, 1897, by Direct— Miss Alcantara Davis,
by Alcantara.

Delgola, ch f, 1897, by Delmarch— Oro Fino 2:18.by Eros.

The yearlings consignee^ the auction ring by Major B.
. Thomas this year were t,elve in number and brought
0,200, average of $2183. T.e colt by Hanover out of the
f'j.l sister to Domino brought tit 000.

The hoppled pacer will be in the hunt this year, probably
more numerous than ever. Only one or two associations
have barred the st aps and with the ripening June weather,
and the clanking of the starter's bell, trainers are greasing
the straps, adjusting the supports and scrutinizing the hooks,
buckles and splices, with the care that no breakage on the
home stretch shall tumble the shackled tumbler out of the
money. Orieioally the word hopple meant a fetter. And
the first use of the hopple or fetter was to tie horses' legs
together in the pasture to restrain their wandering. It was
an Indianapolis Yankee, John W. Browning, who first
changed the meaning of a fetter, or a restraining strap to a
speed accelerator. Hence the name hcppleisasad mis-
nomer.— Exchange.

Jockeys Ruiz aod Waldo were both injured in an accident
which occurred in a race at Harlem track, Chicago, last
Satuiday. Waldo had his collar bone broken and Ruiz sus-

Racing at Honolulu.

The Commercial Advertiser, published at Honolulu, gives
the following account of the races held at Kapiolani Park on
June 11th, the Hawaiian holiday. It will be noticed tha*
several Californian horses competed, and the descriptions of
every race, which the Advertiser says were written by an
expert, show that there is in our new possessions a horse
reporter who is making a sublime effort to follow in the foot,
steps of the turf slang-Blingers who report the races for the
San Francisco dailies.

Billy.... (McManus) 2 2

Time, 2:28}, 2:28}. Both heats won in hollow faahion.

pacing; Hawaiian bred; $100 added.

Leahi (J. Callan) 2 11

EdithR (Gibson) 12 2

Time, 3:31, 2:59}, 3:05. Edith's heat an accident. Leahi
won both heats by a matter of lengths. Winner, Thomas
Hollinger's b b by Creole — GeiBter. First heat a farce; both
drivers stopped to get a bit of lunch; Edith's heat was pain-
ful. Leahi is lazy and sick, but as handsome as a picture,
and one of the improving kind.

Fifth Race— Irwin Cup; one mile; Hawaiian bred horses,
to be won twice by members of the Jockey Club; $150 added'

Antidote, 123 lbs (Joe McAuliffe) 1

Amarino, 123 lbs (Logue) SS

Time, 1:45. Good start. Won by a length; same distance
between second and third. Winner, Prince David and
Parker's b m by Duncombe — Detrix. Winner well ridden,
but does not relish a mile. Aggravation likes to race in
front and is not overly stout hearted. Venus ran a good
race, but her boy killed her off by rating her too severely in
the early stages of the trip.

Ninth Race — Criterion Cup; one and one-half miles; to be
won twice; $2:50 added.

Weller, 122 lbs (Nichols) 1

Gen. Cronje, 124 IbB (Joe McAuliffe) 2

antidote's running at the distance a surprise.

Tenth Race — Consolation Race; one mile, for all horses
that have competed at this meeting without winning-
Entries at post; purse $160.

Evereth (Thomas) 1

Allegro (Jaa. McAuliffe) 2

General Cronje (Joe McAuliffe) 8

Time, 1:48. Poor start. Won in a walk by two lengths.
Winner, J. R. Wilson's s g by St. Savior— Why Not. Ever-

HON. JB3SE D. OARR.

Celebrated His Eighty-Sixth Birthday at Salinas
on June 10th.

Few of the live Block breeders of California are better
known than Hod. Jesse D. Carr, of Salinas, President of the
Monterey Agricultural Association, formerly a member
of the 8tate Agricultural Society and also of the Board
of Appeals of the National Trotting Association, he hav-
ing resigned the latter position a few years since on ac-
count of deafoess. The following account of a recent cele-
bration of his birthday, written by editor W. J. Hill of the
Salinas Index, who has known Mr. Carr intimately for
nearly forty years will be read with interest by our readers,
the majority of whom know Mr. Carr personally :

Monday, June llth, at his beautiful home on Church
street in Salinas, Hon. Jesse D. Carr celebrated the eighty-
sixth anniversary of hia birth. Although the genial old
gentleman's stalwart form is not so erect nor bis step so
elastic as when the writer first met him on the Idaho frontier
away bicfe in the sixties, yet he is remarkably active in both
body and mind for one who has lived the greater portion of
a century. He still exercises personal supervision over his
multifarious business interests and, when at home, iB found
at his down town office before 8 o'clock every morning. Mr.
Carr is president of the Bank of Monterey, president of the
Monterey District Agricultural Association, and a member of
the Board of Freeholders now engaged in framing a oeir
charter for Salinas city.

Mr. Carr has had a busy and eventful life. He was born
in Sumner county, Tennessee, June 14, 1814, and Mb early
days wore spent on a farm. He attended a county school
and left home at the age of 16 to work in a store at Cairo.
When 18 years old he went to Nashville to serve six years
more as a store boy. He was married when 23 years old, and
with his earnings, amounting to about $1000, he went to
Memphis, and in partnership with Larkin Wood, a former
employer, commenced business on his own account. About
this time the Chickisaw and Chocktaw Indians were removed
from North Mississippi and West Tennessee to Arkansas,
and those sections rapidly filling up with farmers, Memphis
became an important commercial point. Mr. Carr's busi-
ness prospered until his partner became non compos mentis)
and embrarrassed the firm to the extent of $20,000. This in-
indebtedness Mr. Carr paid eft in two years and at the
expiration of six years, when he closed oat his busi-
ness in Memphis, was worth $40,000. It is a fact worth
noting, aod of some historic importance, that in 1840
he built the first brick house ever constructed in Memphis.

In 1843 Mr. Carr went to New Orleans and engaged in the
cotton commission business, in which he succeeded in spend-
ing the money he had earned in Memphis. The Mexican
war break ng out about this time, he made an effort to
retrieve his lost fortune as a sutler, still continuing his
business, however, in New Orleans. But, to use a homely
expression, "he jumped out of the frying pan into the fire."
On the 24th of February, 1S47, three thousand Mexican
troops, under command of General Urea, captured the train
in which were his goods, valued at $40,000, and killed or
captured ninety of one hundred and eighty persons with the
train. Mr. Carr was summoned before General Taylor to
give his testimony, as the officer in command of the train
had found it expedient to disobey orders. At the first inter-
view General Taylor was in such a rage that he couldn't dis-
cuss the subject, but in the second interview he was made to
realize that what had been done was the best that could have
been accomplished under the circumstances. General Taylor
afterwards admitted that the capture of that train possibly
prevented hie defeat at Buena Vista. General Urea had
orders to join the Mexican forces at Buena Vista, but die-
obeyed them to capture the train under the impression that
it carried half a million dollars government money to pay
off troops. General Taylor expressed the opinion that these
3,000 Mexican troops might have turned the tide of battle
against him at Buena Vista on Washington's birthday, 1847.

Mr. Carr stayed in Mexico until after the war, and re-
couped his losses to the extent of about $15,000. In January,
1849, he returned to New Orleans; he had the cholera for the
second time, having had an attack in 1834. As soon as he
was able to travel he went to Washington on business. He
remained there two months, and attended the inauguration
of General Taylor, with whom his acquaintanceship had
ripened into a warm friendship. In the meantime Congress
had passed a bill authorizing the Secretary of War to furnish,
after registration, persons going to California with firearms
at government cost. General William M. Gwin was the first
and the subject of this sketch the second, person to register
nnder this law. While in Washington, PoBtmaster General
Collamore, through the icfluence of Mr. Carr's friend, Col.
Churchill of the army, tendered him the appointment of
Postal Agent of California, but two days later Bent for him
and told him that Colonel Blis?, General Taylor's private
secretary, wanted the office for an old schoolmate, Captain
Allen, whereupon Mr. Carr released Judge Cullamore from
hie promise. Mr. Carr had arranged to start for California
in June, having been appointed by Colonel James Collier,
Deputy Collector of the port cf San Francisco. Before his
departure he was to go to New Orleans and get acquainted
with the duties of his office, and the Postmaster General, in

an endeavor to make amends for the faux pas of the Cali-
fornia Postal Agency appointment, tendered him the position
of Special Postal Agent at New Orleans, with instructions
not to send in his resignation until the day he started for
California.

Mr Carr arrived in San Francisco August 18, 1849; Collier
did not arrive until November. Immediately after his
arrival, Mr. Carr accepted a position as deputy under the
Military Collector, Mr. Harrison, and after Mr. Collier's
arrival assisted in organizing the office. He was in the
custom house a little more than a year.

After retiring he received the Domination for the Assembly,
and was elected by a majority of 176 over the highest com-
peting candidate. He thus became a member of the first
California legislature, and was made chairman of the Com-
mittee on Commerce and Navigation, and was second on the
Ways and Means Committee, and virtually did the work of
both. He introduced and passed the first Funding Bill for
San Francisco, when warrants were out drawing a monthly
interest of 3 per cent. The bill provided for the funding of
the debt at 10 percent, per annum. Mr. Carr retains very
vivid recollections of the "Legislature of a Thousand
Drinks." Subsequent to this he mined a little, dealt in real
estate some, and in 1852 becime interested in a portion of
the Pulgas ranch, and in the fall of 1853 moved to the
Pajaro valley. While living here and during hie absence
from home he was elected Supervisor of Santa Cruz county.
He purchased a part of the Salsupuedes ranch, and engaged
in farming and stock raising, bought and sold grain and other
produce. In 1859 he moved to the Salinas valley, and has
made his home here ever since.

In 1866, he engaged in staging, and carried the first mail

dangerous business, as the Indians were very bad at that time.
From 1866 to 1870 he was the largest star mail contractor on
the Pacific Coast, his contracts amounting to as much as
$300,000 a year. For four years he carried the mail between
Oroville, Cal., and Portland, Oregon.

Mr. Carr owns 20,000 acres of land in Modoc county and
has it stocked with large herds of horses and cattle. He also
has large real estate interests in Monterey county, although
he has been reducing his holdings by selling eff his lands
here during the paBt few yeare. He is a public spirited citi-
zen and has been identified with nearly every enterprise of
the county. He gave $5000 to (he Odd Fellows for a public
library in Salinas, and $4000 to the South Methodist College
in Santa Rosa, He is a good friend to those be likes and
has helped many a boy and girl to obtain an education.

Mr. Carr is a Democrat in politics, and for many years
was one of the most influential members of his party in Cali-
fornia. By reason of bis intimate acquaintance with every
administration at Washington from that of President Taylor
down his friendship and support were sought after by office
seekers and persons interested in legislation.

Poolrooms May Be Closed.

Choose the Mares.

Judge Murasky has decided that pool rooms are a detri-
ment to public morals, and Chief Sullivan will now enforce
the ordinance against them unless some other way is found
by the pool room lawyers to evade it. The decision was on
a demurrer of the city to the suit of Harry E. Corbett, who
wished to have an injunction granted that would restrain the
city from arresting him for keeping his pool rooms open,
open. The city demurred to the complaint, and it was
agreed that the case should be decided upon the demurrer.
The demurrer was sustained, which means that Corbett
has lost hia suit. In rendering judgment Judge Murasky
makcB a point of the difference between public policy and
public morals. He says :

Poolselling and bookmaking involve betting. In many
States all kinds of wagering are prohibited, but not so io
Calitornia. By the common law, which governs us when
ihe statutes do not apply, only those wagers which involved
a breach of the peace or were io their nature against public
policy — such as bete npon elections, upon the price of food
or upon the judgment of a court — were invalid, and all
others were legal and recoverable at law. The Supreme
Court adopteu this rule, aod by its decisions certain classes of
wagers were recognized as valid. Johnston vb Russell, 37
California, 670. In Gridley vs. Durn, 57 California, which
is the last utterance of the Supreme Court directly upon the
snbject, the court, while expressing its belief that all wager-
ing was against sound policy and therefore void, recognized
the existence of the rule laid down in Johnson vs. Kussell.

But while some wagering may not be against public policy
or even against good morals, it cannot be said that the
practice of wagering or the maintenance of a place where
wagering may evolve irom a pastime into an occupation, is
in conformity with good morals. That this ib bo is apparent
from the policy of tbe common law, which legalized gaming,
but condemned excessive wagering and prohibited public
gaming houses. It is the continuous indulgence io wageriog
that is cootrary to good morals. "At common law gambling
in and of itself was not a nuisance, but became bo when ac-
companied by incidents tending to the discomfort, disorder
or demoralization of society " Ewigart vs. the People, 154
111., 296. Among those incidents was gambling publicly and
excessively. In the same case it was held that the mere
gathering of people about the betting rooms of the Garfield
Park Club was demoralizing. It iB true that poolselling was
forbidden by law in Illinois, bnt the language is used without
reference to the statute.

The court is compelled to fiod that the maintainence of a
place wherein wagering may be constantly indulged in, no
matter how innocent tbe events upon which the wsgers are
leid, oor how innocent the bets in themselves mav be, is
against good morals, as he phrase is used io section 1667, as
it was against the sound policy of the common law.

While bookmaking and poolselling are not gambling as
defined by law, nor the maintenance of a bookmaking busi-
ness prohibited, I am compelled to find that the recitale in
plaintiff's bill bring him within the provisions of subdivision
3 of section 1667 of the Civil Code, and that under those
circumstances he is not entitled to relief in a court of equity,
but must obtain whatever redress he may at law.

Answars to Correspondents.

A successful business man who has grown wise with his
years of experience as a breeder, which industry he took up
as a side issue and as a source of pleasure several years ago,
recently sold a young stallion of much promise to a man just
starting in the horse business. When the deal was com-
pleted and the younger man was about to depart with his
purchase the wise man gave him some fatherly advice which
ran something like this: "In starting out to make a reputa-
tion for this horee do not allow him to serve indiscriminately
all the mares that may be offered. Never mind the loss of
income that you think you will Buffer if you turn some of the
mares away, but be firm in your determination to let him
have nothing but first class mares until he can make a repu-
tation as a sire of shapely colts. Do not overlook the fact
that your horse will be charged with all the faults colts show,
no matter it nine-tenths of tbe defects are inherited direct
from the mares. You must see that the mares are sound
aod of good conformation. You have gone to a great deal of
trouble to fiod a high class horse and you must mate him to
high class mares. If you do not you will pay for your folly
io the dollars aod ceots that will go to your neighbor who iB
shrewd enough to protect his horse uotil bis reputation is
assured." The force of this argument will be fully appreci-
ated by stallion owners who, in their zeal to increase the
amount of their horse's income, have been ioduced to mate
him with mares which their judgment should have told them
would make a poor nick. Everybody sees the poor colt8
and a stallion must have a great reputation as a sire in order
to live down the talk created by a very few coarse or inferior
youngsters that may in reality owe their objectionable feat-
ures to their dame. — Chicago Horseman.

Jimmy McLauchlin had such gocd luck with his old
campaigner Premier as a jumper that he hae decided to
school another of his Hiring to go over the obstacles. Coun-
sellor Wernberg is the one selected to bid for the honors, and
from the way be took his first lessons it looks as if he will be
nst as good as his stable mate at the game.

One of tbe latest aod moat welcome additions to the ranks
of raciog horsemen ie "Jake" Worth of Brooklyn. He
bought some promising yearlings at last Saturday's sale, and

in races for purees. The Alpine district has not yet publicly

W. D. — Please let me know through the columns of the
Breeder and Sportsman, if you have the space, what to
do for an ulcerated jaw bone in a colt. About three weeks
ago I discovered a little sort; just in front of the first jaw
tooth, where tbe bit always works. This sore got full of wild
oats aod foxtails, etc. I clean it out two or three times a
day, aod today I got a little piece of bone out of it about aa
big as a eraio of corD, that looked like it came cti of the
jaw booe. There is a lump just outaide of that place about
half tbe size of a ben's egg and as bard ae a bone, bat doeen'i
seem to get any larger nor the sore don't eeem to get any
worse. I have the colt entered through the Northern circuit
and would like to get his mouth tended to as soon as possible.

Answer — Avoid pressure of bit on affected booe. Drive
colt, if possible, with nose Btrap made to fit bim, and having
a ring on each side for the lineb to be buckled into. A eteel
appliance for this purpose bae been advertised in this paper.
Clean the food out of the sore daily, after eating. Syringe out
the part wiih one part of peroxide of hydrogen to two of
water. Insert a plug of oakum or cotton eoabed in creolic
solution into the cavity after each application.

If the bone should discharge on its lower and external
edge so that a passage is created right through it into the
mouth, irrigate the parts well with a creolin solution I
treating it as above.

Kemove any loose pieces of necrosed bone.

THE BREEDERS MEETING at Santa Rosa will
open the California circuit one week from Monday next.
It will be a success. There are already enough horses
at the Santa Rosa track to furnish a week's good racing,
and the number will be doubled within the next two or
three days. At least two hundred trotters and pacers,
among them all the fastest horses in training on this
Coast, will te at Santa Rosa by the middle of next week
and the purses which cloBe next Tuesday, June 26th,
should have a sufficient number of entries to fill each
and every one of them and furnish the closest and best
contest seen in California for years. The Breeders
Association-has made every effort in its power to provide
a generous lot of purses for the horsemen, and it is
strange that some of the $1000 purses received too small
an entry list to permit their being declared filled.
There is no reason why this should be so, except the
fact that in spite of Bix months' preparation many of the
trainers have failed to get their horses ready for a meet-
ing in the early part of July. However, there are
enough entries assured to make the Santa Rosa meeting
a first class one in every respect and there is hardly any
doubt but the fast records made there last year will be
beaten and the outlook is for more close contests than
have been seen on a California track for years. There
are eight purses yet open. Entries close next Tuesday
and every horse owner should not only make as many
entries as possible, but consider it his duty as a breeder
or owner to do this for the purpose of aiding in making
the meeting a success, and to advance the interests of
the business in which he has money invested and in
which he takes a pride.

ILLEGAL ENTRIES are probably made at every

race meeting. For some unaccountable reason a large

percentage of the men who make entries in the trotting,

pacing and running purses and stakes, are careless and

fail to follow the rules when entering their horses in

events which they are anxious to start in and confident

of winning. There is seldom a meeting held but a

r amber of the advertised events are declared "not filled"

■imply because some of the entries received are in such

hape that they cannot be accepted. The rules govern-

ng entries have not been complied with in particulars

at ere vital to the legality of the entry. There are

i rivers, owners and trainers who play the "foxy" game

and enter in the name of some perBon who is irrespon-
sible or unknown, in the confident hope that suspension
will not hold against the party actually in control of a
horse should he not be able to start. There has seldom
been a meeting held but several entries had to be thrown
out because they were made after the hour of closing,
and this in spite of the fact that horsemen are perfectly
familiar with the rule requiring entries to be made in
time. Some trainers and owners always fail to identify
the horse entered and from the entry blank as filled out
by them it would be impossible for one not acquainted
with the entry to know whether a mare, stallion or geld-
ing was named while the breeding is conspicuous by its
absence entirely from the spaces specially prepared for
such data. It will not do to attribute all these omissions
to ignorance. There iB no class of people who know
better the duties required of them than the horsemen.
It is carelessness in nine cases out of ten that is the
cause of entries being so made out that they must be re-
jected and in the remaining case it is the result of would-
be cuteness whereby the nominator thinks he has made
an entry that will not be legal if he fails to start, while
the irregularities will be overlooked should he be ready
to race. We have known many cases where such entries
were thrown out and the purses declared off, while there
are very few instances where they were allowed to stand.
In making your entries this year make them right or do
not make them at all. Associations hang up purses in
good faith and expect entries to be made in the same
manner.

WRONG CONCLUSIONS, derived from false state,
ments and arguments, are often written down as guides
to the breeders of livestock. One of the statements
most frequently made is that as the breeders of thor-
oughbreds have in most instances bred solely for speed,
the thoroughbred horse is "no longer able to run the
distance he formerly did." There is no evidence to sus-
tain this statement, but it is made day after day and
believed by a very large number whose observations, if
they have any, should lead them to know better. The
fastest four miles ever made was run by Lucretia Borgia
at Oakland three years ago. This little mare, one that
could not attain greatnesB in any country in actual races;
covered the distance in less time than any of the great
old time long distance horses, whose prowess k lauded
by those who believe that stamina is not one of the
elements that has bred on in the thoroughbred or trotting
families. It takes stamina and muscular strength to
attain speed at the run, pace or trot, and the best horses
of to-day cannot only cover a short distance in fast time
but can stay a long distance as well. The fact that modem
race programs provide but very few of the old killing
long distance races is not sufficient evidence that our
modern horses have lost stamina. There are horses in
America that can lower every long distance race record
on the books, and do it so easily that they would not
feel as much distress as they would after a stiff workouti
but their owners know there is little glory and less
money to be made by breaking these old time long dis-
tance records, and prefer to race where fame and fortune
are to be gained. If there is any person or persons who
honestly believe that "the capacity to go long distances
has been lost," they can have their opinions changed by
hanging up rich purses for horses that break the old
records at all distances. $20,000 as a prize will smash
every record at three and four miles now held by run-
ners, and all those from three to twenty miles now held
by trotters or pacers. There is just as much stamina in
the horse of to-day as there was in the horse of fifty
years ago, and there is a great deal more speed.

THE YEAR BOOK for 1S99, of the Gentlemen's
Driving Club of Cleveland, Ohio, has reached our table
and it is a very handsomely bound volume of nearly one
hundred pages. It contains complete summaries of all
the performances to road wagon made at the matinees of
the club during the year 1S99, an alphabetical list of
horseB with road wagon records of 2:30 or better, an
alphabetical list of club horses with slower records, a list
of members, the by-laws and rules and much other inter-
esting information. The Gentlemen's Driving Club of
Cleveland is the leading organization of road drivers in
America and its frequent matinees do more to make the
American trotting horse popular and valuable than any
other like'organization in the land. No Eastern city
has as many California bred horses in training, and this
State seems inseperably linked with Cleveland in the
harness horse business. The Year Book will be a
valuable addition to our library, and its records will be
frequently consulted when the doings of our horses on
Eastern tracks are under consideration.

AN OLD ADAGE reads "The Lord helps those
who help themselves," and nothing more true was ever
written. For years the Pacific Coast Trotting Horse
Breeders Association has been doing everything within
its power to help the horse breeders and owners of Cali-
fornia. It has held meetings and given purses annually
for harness horses to compete for in many instances
when but for its action there would have been no money
to race for. It stepped into the beach last year and the
year before when appropriations were cut off from the
district fairs and made it possible for a good horse to
earn a respectable sum of money. The Association has
done much to help the horsemen and it is now up to the
horsemen to help themselves. The Breeders Association
has advertised a grand meeting at Santa Rosa during
Fourth of July week. A few of the purses have filled
well. There are eight more for which entrieB will close
next Tuesday, Jane 26th. Will the horse owners re-
spond and do a little something toward making the entry
list sufficiently large to insure a successful meeting ? In
other words, will they do their part in helping ? We
believe they will and that it will never be said that the
harness meetings of 1900 in California were not success-
ful because the horee owners failed to make entries.

JUDGE JOSEPH MURPHY, who cannot believe
that California horBes are genuine, though he has a very
high regard for California money, will probably not see
the American Derby run to-day. The Judge will stay
in St. Louis and besideB deciding which horse gets to
the wire first, will continue furnishing a few paragraphs
for the foot note portion of the form charts, giving
reasons why horses lost and won. Should a California
horse win the American Derby to-day, the distinguished
racing judge may have an attack of vertigo or something
similar, and it should be suggested to the St. Louis Fair
Association that they have a corps of physicians and a
bucket of ice water in the stand when the news from
Chicago is received over the wires.

Entries for the Breeders Meeting.

Two classes, the 2:40 and the 2:23 trotting races, of those
which closed June 15th, were declared filled at a meeting of
the Board of Directors of the P. C. T. H. B. A. last week
and eight new purses were opened as will be seen in the
advertisement on the opposite page. Besides the events that
have already filled there will probably be a good list of "last
payments" in the three year old Futurity events which are 10

terday. There is every prospect for a good meeting. The

Oregon Horses In Training.

The Breeders Association having oflered to hang np a
conple of parses of $300 each for horses owned by members
of the Golden Gate Park Association the races to come off
at the Santa Rosa meeting, members of the club are showing
their appreciation of the offer by making liberal entries, and
alrerdy nineteen horses have been named.

President Edward Algeltinger appointed as a committee
on classification C. E. Parks, E. Stewart and L. Richardson.
They passed upon the entries already in hand and gave the
following as the reBOlt of their labors:

Special class— H. B. Slocum's Teddy the Roan, J. Curley'a
Prince C, George W. Kleiser's Alto Velo.

FirBt class— E. Stewart's Localeer, H. W. Miller's DreB-

Freddie B, J C Ohlandt's Alameda Maid, F. Gommet's
Pardee, E. Stewart's Morgan, C. E. Park's Imp, J. Costello's
Lilith and E. D. Sach's Bob Burns.

There will be quite a number of additional entries to the
above, and if a couple more horses could be secured for the
special class an extra purse of $300 would be given for it.
The other two classes are so well classified that two hot races
should result.

California Horses at Cleveland.

Nearly thirty California bred horses are in training at the
Cleveland race track, which is a splendid showing for this

Although the greatest foreign demand for fast horsea has
come from Austria, Italy is the European country which
has been breeding trotters longest and nearer after American
methods. It was a long time ago that Milton Medium 2:251,
was taken to Italy for breeding purposes. Later on Grand-
mont 2:25}, by Almont, was taken to Italy, and still later
that other magnificent son of Almont, Atlantic 2:21, went
there. The stallion Favora 2:12J, by Patchen Wilkes, was
finally taken to Italy, and now it is announced that an
Italian breeder has just bought the good stallion Royal Baron
2:10J, now racing in Austiia, and he will be taken to Italy
and used for breeding purposes. Several of the best European
bred trotters have been raised in Italy, and Royal Baron
should add considerable to the reputation the country has for
producing fast trotters. It is understood that Atlantic was
mated with many mares by Milton Medium and Grandmont,
and if his daughters from this croEB are mated with Royal
Baron a fair per centage of the foals resulting should have
speed if a high order. — Horse World.

HORSES AT SALEM.

There are quite a number of horses in training at the fair
grounds near Salem, and a great many more have ordered
stalls for summer training. Mr. Mosher has the track in
splendid condition and it will be kept so all summer. He
saye from the letters he is receiving he judges there will be
from 100 to 150 horses in training there this season. Follow-
ing are those in training at present:

I. C. Mosher's stable: Stamboul Bell 2:21; Noonday Bell,
green trotter by Noonday out of Bell H. 2:23}; John A.
Crawford (p) 2:17; Scappoae (p) 2:20; Qaeen Patchen, green
trotter by King Patchen — Altamont; Kath Alene, two year
old trotter by Coeor d'Alene — Billy Wagner; Robt. H., two
year old pacer by Cesar d'Alene — Beauty. The last two
named colts are entered in the Stallion Produce Slake and
Mr. Mosher has his eye on first money in both events.
Scappose is entered in the $1000 stake for 2:18 pacers and
she is working like a winner. Both Stamboul Bell and
Noonday Bell will be entered in the $1000 stake for 2:20
trotters and John A. Crawford will be a candidate for the
2:14 pace of $1000.

Jno. Shannon is training Moline, a green trotter by Cceur
d'Alene — Mary A.; May, two year old trotter by Holmdel —
Rockwood; yearling trotter by McKinney out of Mary A.;
Trilbyome, two year old pacer by Gerome— Oneco, entered
in the Stallion Produce Stake.

A. L. Force has in his stable Belle Air (p) 2:14}, Volo
2:25, Donomore by Altamont, out of the dam of Belle Air.
Mr. Force's horses are looking fine and he will have a nom-
ination in both the 2:14 pace of $1000 and 2:20 trot of $1000.

W. C. Belkrap is training his very promising green trotter
Alteno by Oneco — Altago, and a very racy looking yearliog
by Gird's Hambletonian. Mr. Belknap is takiDg great pains
to get Alteno in good condition this year, as he considers her
a very promising candidate for the $1000 stake for 2:20
trotters.

Wayland Taylor has only one horse, May Morn, bnt he
considers her good enough to be worthy of all his attention.
She is a green pacer by Del Norte, and is entered in the
$1000 stake for 2:18 pacers.

Mr. E. E. Staats of Airlie is expected over soon with a
stable of horses, including Almalene 2:25, which he has
entered in the big stake for 2:18 pacers.

Rneben Keiger of Corvallis is also expected over soon
with his stable of horses. We did not get a list of all biB
horses, but he is training his fast two year old by CcEur
d'Alene, and it is said to be better than ever this spring.

John Sawyer has engaged stallB and will be up Saturday
with the Van de Vanter Stock Farm's stable of twelve head.
He will have the stallion Erect, who will be allowed to serve
a few mares up to August 1st.

HOBSES AT PORTLAND.

There is the biggest pile of first class horse flesh at Irving-
ton park than there has been for many a day. Owing to the
great amount of rain during the month of May, none have
gone fast work out miles yet, but they are all in flue working
condition and we predict some exciting finishes ere long.
Misner claims the fastest miles for trotters in 2:31 with Vin-
mount, with Pender a close second with Capt. Jones.

8awyer and Casto are about tied on the pacers Deceiver

It is rumored that Overland Park at Denver will be leased
by Ed Gsylord and Billy Shuckman, who will jointly con_
duct races in the future. Under the new regime Borne ex.
tensive improvements in the stands and stables on the grounds
and a running meeting in Auguat are said to be contem-
plated.

The attendance at Santa Rosa will be large, and the auc-
tion and pari mutual system of betting, which are the only
ones permitted, will enable those who wish to back their
favorites to place their money.

You should not fail to enter in some of the Santa Rosa
purses as the probability is that the fields will not average
over six and the chances of getting money out of the purses
will be thereby greatly increased.

Take the trotting family as a whole, with whatever defects
it may have, and it would be extremely difficult to find any
race of horses that more fully subserves the purpose of its
existence. It can trot faster than any family that ever ex-
isted. It can go more heats than the boasted thoroughbred
with its 200 years of culture. According to the well known
trainer, Crit Davis, and other competent authorities, it would
kill any thoroughbred colt to do the work required of a
trotting youngster, and the trotter is suited for the road
which the thoroughbred is not. In all the elements which
constitute a really good horse the trotter to-day is par excel-
lence the greatest horse alive. Still there is room for im"
provement, and with the breeding now going on he wil'

receive it. — Rural World.

On last Saturday in the Chicago market a consignment of
western branded horses sold as high as $79 per head. The
horses averaged about 1500 pounds.

Several of the $1000 purses failed to fill at Santa Rosa so
it was decided to open new purses of $600 and $500 and re-
quire fewer entries.

The Sulky.

Spend the Fourth at Santa Rosa.

The meeting will be a great success.

Stalls will be all full at Santa Rosa next week.

Klamath 2:07$, will not be raced this year after all, it is
reported.

Enter your horse at Santa Rosa and help the trotting

horse business.

Neebetta has been entered in the Lexington meeting, so

she may go East this year.

Enter your horse in one of those eight new purses opened
by the Breeders Association.

A filly by Direct out of a fast and well bred mare is
offered for sale. See advertising columns.

Chico and Red Bluff advertise for bids for pool selling
and other privileges for their fair and race meetings this year.

Two horses can be named for any one of those new parses
at Santa Rosa, and the owner will only be held for one entry.

Last week a consignment of eleven pairs of carriage
horses were sold at auction in New York. They brought a
total of $14,500.

UCLirPER made the fastest heat at Santa Rosa last year,
2:09 v. Addison's mile in 2:1 1J was the fastest made by a
trotter at the meeting.

The horse that is well entered and wins what he can is the
one that brings profit to bis owner and sells for a big price.
Don't fail to enter at Santa Rosa.

Ed Wins hip, the good looking gelding by Raymond that
Walter Maben raced with such success in California in 1898,
won a race at Denver last week.

pRiNCtss Wilkes, the mare by Clarence Wilkes that is
in Vet Tryon's stable at Sacramento, worked a mile in 2; 17
last week, the last quarter in 33 seconds.

Every trotting horse breeder in California should work
for the BQecess of the Breeders meeting at Santa Rosa and
for every other meeting in the State this year.

Fames Golden has put hopples on Little Better, the
sister to Much Better 2:07} and it is said that she takes
kindly to them and can step very fast at the pace.

$500 purses are offered for the big meeting at Readville,
Mass , which cornea off the same week as the Breeders meet-
ing at Santa Rosa, and there is a big list of entries.

Yakrdm, a bay gelding by Dictator Prince, that is entered
in the M. & M. at Detroit, started in Denver last week and
won easily in straight heats, the best time being 2:19$.

The State Fair will offer 11 purses for trotters and 9 for
pacers, each purse to be $1000. Thus tnere will be $20,000
huog up for the harness horses at Sacramento this year.

Jasper Ayres is to be raced with the idea that he can
beat his record this year, fie has stepped the fastest work-
out mile of any horse at Readville track up to this time.

Byron Erkenbrechek's McKinney filly Miss Barnabee
that won three out of four starts last year as a three year old
will be raced again this year. She will start first at Santa
Kosa.

Who Is It 2:10$ will be raced again this year and is going
better than ever. When Peter the Great beat him at New
York last year Who Is It was separately timed in 2:08 and
2:08*.

Races for local roadsters and Driving Club members will
be one of the features at nearly every California meeting this
year. No better plan could be found to encourage horse
breeding and road driving.

The horsemen have been praying for a meeting where
there will be no bookmaking. The Breeders meeting at
Santa RoBa will have auctions and pari mutuals only. Now
make the entry list a big one.

Nine-tenths of the "good things" that are held back for
a big killing late in the fall go wrong and never pay for
their keep. By entering your horses at Santa Rosa you will
earn money to continue on (.he circuit.

The roan gelding Moth Miller 2:07$, by Alcantara, is one
of the pacers that is likely to take a very low record this
year. He paced the last half of a workout mile the other
day at Readville in one minute. The last quarter was in

29| seconds.

The Western Horseman says that Pilot Allen, by Ethan
Allen, dam Lady Pilot, by Pilot Jr., is still alive and fit for
family duty at Lawrence, Kan. He is 25 years old, and
must be about the last of the Ethan Aliens, sired by the old
horse himself.

The entry list for Santa Rosa will not be as large as it was
last year, but nearly every horse entered will start, so that
the fields will be as large in nearly every instance. Don't
forget to enter your trotters and pacers next Tuesday. En-
tries close that day.

The Golden Gate Park Driving Association in-
tended holding matinee racing at Oakland on the Fourth of
July, but have declared the meeting off and will race their
horses that day at Santa Rosa, the Breeders having offered
them purses of $300.

Get a little memorandum book and put down the name of
every horse that you bear is not going to start until other
horses have made records and thus opened a chance for a big
killing with the green one. Keep tab on them and see how
many good things burn in the fall.

Bob Ing-ebsol, the son ol Nutwood Wilke° that William
Cecil is working for Nutwond Stock Farm, is one of the best
gaited trotters that has been stepping the Pleaeanton track
this year. He will probably start in the 2:40 trot the open-
ing day of the Santa Rosa meeting.

The Pacific Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association
met last week and elected officers for the year. E. P. Heald
was elected President; J. C. Kirkpatrick, First Vice Presi-
dent; A. G. Gurnett, Second Vice President; N. T. Smith,
Treasurer and F. W. Kelley Secretary.

Fred Ward, of University, Los Angeles county, will race
his string of trotters in California this year. For the past
two years he has campaigned in the Mississippi Valley, but
says the purses offered here this year are a little better than
the associations across the mountains offer.

The 2:30 pace at Santa Rosa last yeai had ten starters and
required six heats and two days to decide. Wild Nutting
won the race, getting his record of 2:13 in the fifth hea',
which was paced on the second day. Thie waa also the fast-
est heat in the race, the others ranging from 2:14 to 2:1S|.

Ed Lafferty has I Direct 2:13 in his string at Santa
Rosa; The handsome little son of Direct is working better
for Ed than he ever has before, and if he ever gets ovei that
habit of jumping into the air without just cause or provoca-
tion, he will make all the pacers in his class Btep better than
2:10 to beat him.

The management of the Riverside Driving Association
has had assurances sufficient from outside owners of fast
horses to insure a fine eniry list for the race meet to take
place on the associations' new track on July 4th. Several
good horses will be there from Los Angeles, while Santa Ana
and San Bernardino will also contribute.

The 2:11 class at the Breeders Santa Rosa meeting ought
to make a hot contest. The starters will probably be Zom-
bro 2:11, Addison 2:11J, Neeretta 2:11$, Ptcebe Childers
2:12, Hbzel Kinney 2:12$ and Dr. Frasse 2:12$.

It is pretty hard to defeat a popular horseman when he
comes up for office Congressman Tongue, who was re-
cently re-elected to Congress in Oregon, owns quite a string
of trottiog horses, among others Lovelace 2:20.

The estate of H. Dutard has sold to Egbert 8tone of Oak-
land, the handsome and fast little mare Fanadma 2:19$, by
Eros, and Mr. Stone will use her on the road. There are
few horses in California that can outbrush this mare.

Wm. Houoeoom's string of horses, which he now has at
Santa Rosa, consists of Daimont 2:17, Eula Mac 2:27$,
Lvnall 2:23, Dora Do 2:27$, Lady McDonald b? Direct,
Charles U. by Lynmont and Waldstein Jr. by Waldstein,

The young horse Andy McKinney that Gilbert Judd is
working at Santa Ana is not by McKinney 2:11$, but by
Geo. W. McKinney 2:14$, son of that horse. Geo. W.
McKinney is owned by Mr. E. L Mayberry of Los Angeles.

John Groom is handling a four year old Diablo belonging
to Wm. G. Layng, former editor of this paper, and those
who have seen him working at the Alameda track say that
the youngster is a flyer and a sure low record pacer. He
paced a second heat in 2:18 last Saturday and did it alone.
Many who saw the performance say that Groom could have
driven the four year old in 2:15. He is very smooth suited,
carries five ounce shoes all around and like Anaconda wears
nothing but coronet boote and a harness.

Local horsemen are arranging to give a race meet in
Haafcrd on Monday and Tuesday, July 2nd and 3d. The
sport will take place at the Hanford Driving Track, and
Hugh Robinson is the President of the committee and Ed-
ward Weisbaum is Secretary. The meeting will doubtless be
a success, as there are a large number of good horses that
will be entered.

Charles Marvin, it is understood, has decided not to
train the champion two year old gelding (now a three year
old) Endow 2:14}, until the season 1902, when he will be
especially prepared for the Transylvania. He is big and
strong and is in great shape now, and in his five year old
form, if all goeB well with him, should be a hard one to beat
for the classic event.

Dr. Book 2:13$, will not be raced this year in all prob-
ability. He is working good and they say can trot a mile in
2:10, but his owner thought best to lay him over this year,
especially as at the msjirity of the meetings he would have
to trot in that time to win, and would be pitted against nearly
all the free for all horses in California, there being few races
for the 2:14 class.

John Kinney has the Penn Valley Farm horses in fine
condition this spring. Ruby has trotted in 2:15, and the
pacing mare Choral, that seemed outclassed last year, is
showing great speed. At Point Breeze last week Kinney
stepped her a mile in 2:08$, and a calf in 1:01}. When
Maxine showed a mile in 2:09$ at the Belmont track, Mr.
Winters offered to start Choral against her for $500.

Lark, the great broodmare by Abdallah Mambrino, out
of a mare by Norman 25, died at the farm of her owner in
Kentucky June 9th of old age. She was foaled in 1875, and
was the dam of eight with standard records, five of which
have records of 2:20 or better, her list including Reward J.
(p) 2:10$, trotting record 2:29; Sigma Nu (p) 2:15|, trotting
record 2:29J; Miss Rachel (pi 2:16}, trotting record 2:20;
Telephone 2:15$, Wawona 2:19$, Wilkiemont 2:28, Sunland
Bourbon 2:28| and Miss Edg«r 2:29.

Between the owners of Joe Patchen and John R. Gentry
there is great rivalry and the day after the race between the
two great pacers which is to come off at Liosben next month,
there is to be a race between the two pace makers used in
training these horses. The pace makers are both thorough-
breds and will be driven to cart in the same manner they are
driven when setting pace for the champions. The race will
probably be half mile heats and Dickerson and Andrews are
to drive. $1000 is the priza to be raced for and it will be one
of the most novel races of the season.

Director F. W. Covet, of the speed committtee of the
Agricultural Society, has suggested a novel feature for the
program this year which his been adopted by the Directors.
This is a $1000 nomination purse for green class trotters and
one just titce it for green class pacers, the horses to be named
the day before the race. This will give persons holding
nominations an opportunity to secure likely horses that have
failed to win prior to the State Fair, and start them at the
meeting for a good purse. There should be a big list of
nominators in both these purses.

The first race on the opening day at Santa Rosa last year
was the 2:40 class trot. There were seven starters and it took
seven heats to decide it. The fastest heat was the third won
by Listerine, winner of the race, in 2:17$. The slowest heat
was the last 2:25. The 2:40 class will probably open the
meeting this year, and as there are eleven entries it is prob-
able that the field to start will be as large as last year.

Montauk, a bay gelding by Brown Hal, won the 2:17
pace at Point Breeze track, June 14tb, in 2:16$, 2:17| and
2:20$. The purse was but $300, and many of the "wise"
horsemen present said the owner was foolish to mark a good
horse like Montauk for such a small amount of money.
However, the horse changed hands the same afternoon for
$3000, a good price for any gelding, no matter how fast.

Kelly Briggs' two year old pacer, Pearl Sinclair, was
sent to C. E Bigelow at Woodland to train on the 10th of
March this year. She was hardly bridle wise at the time
and along about the first of April was taken with lung fever
and came very near dying. She was Bet back in consequence
and not worked for several weeks. Tn a workout lately she
stepped through the stretch in 34$ seconds, the last eighth
in 18 seconds. All the horsemen at Woodland say she is a
great two year old and Mr. Bigelow believes he can drive
her a mile better than 2:20 Her owner says a mark of 2:10
will be within her reach next year.

The reasoning by which race judges arrive at conclusions
are sometimes so hidden that the public "keep a guessing"
as to the why and wherefore of it ail. In a race at Denver
the other day a horse broke so badly after getting the word
that he fell back more than a hundred yards from the
leader. He regained his stride, however, and then made up
the distance at a square trot and finished first. He was Bet
.back to last position for running. This decision was thought
to have established a precedent, but io the next race another
horse broke badly and finished outside the flag. The judges
placed him inside the flag because the break was an accident.

J. H. Bbown, an Alabama horseman, is at Santa Rosa
with his pacer Walter K. 2:20| by Happy Pilot, which he
brought across the continent to race in California this year.
Walter K. started eight times last year, and was twice first,
and the same number of times second, third and fourth. He
did not meet any high class horses, and the fastest race he
was in was at Milwaukee where he started in the 2:22 class in
a field of eight. The race waB a split heat affair, Oveida M.
by Ambassador winning the second, fourth and fifth heats,
and Tim Donovan by Kiogbol winning the first and second.
The time of the heats was 2:14$, 2:15*. 2:13$, 2:18$ and
2:15|. Walter K.'b summary was 3-3-3"-4-4.

Famous Hal Pointer 2:04$, the former pacing champion,
finds the duties of life very light at Village Farm. Each
day he is hooked to a light wagon, and the man who looks
after the broodmares drives him from one pasture field to
another until the rounds have been made. The bay gelding
is one of the best behaved horses imaginable until he gets
into close quarters with an automobile. Whether he recog-
nizes in the machine an enemy to his kind or not is uncer-
tain, but when be sees one he proceeds in an opposite direc-
tion with some of the speed that once made him famous on
the track. Pointer is now sixteen years old, but does not
look over ten. Had he not be afflicted with heaves he would
probably have been racing yet.

James E. Bell, Esq, , a prominent lumberman of Everett,
Washington, and President of the Snohomish County Agri-
cultural Association, has been in San Francisco during the
past week looking after a few big ship building contracts in
which he is interested. Mr. Bell says that the prospects for
a successful race meeting at the Everett track during the first
week in July are very bright. There are two $1000 purses,
one for free for all trotters the other for free for all pacers,
and all the other purses are liberal. The meeting begins
July 3d and lasts four days. Everett is the centre of a big
lumber district, over twenty big mills being in operation
there and as the Fourth of July week is always a holiday
week during which the mills close, the attendance is always
large at the races.

The Los Angeles contingent will leave that city for Santa
Kosa en Monday next. Geo. Beckers will be on the train
with his great stallion Zimbro 2:11; W. G. Durfee will have
Oaito 2:14|, Miss Barnabee 2:20$ and two green trotters by
McKinney; Slice & Maben will bring Jessie C. 2:10}, Wil-
helmina 2:15, a green pacing mare by Guy Wilkes and her
full brother, a trotter; Frank Williams will place in the car
Mr Morgan's two green trotters, but will probably leave the
full sister to McZaus at home as she fell on the track last
Tuesday after a workout, very likely still feeling the effects
of the distemper from which she suffered a short time ago;
Fred Ward will have Belle Patchen, a green trotter; Ghil
Sanford, who is training Mrs. Severance's horses, will briog
a good one in Bet Madison; W. Whitney has two, Bernard
2:16} and 8am H. 2:18. These horses will make up a couple
of carloads and will be heard from at the Santa Kosa races ,

Ed Connelly got this nice little notice in the Denver
Times of last Saturday: "The books would not lay a cent
against the chances of Judge Colburn's handsome brown,
almost black colt, Belorado, in the two year old trot. The
youngster simply walked away from his field in the first heat.
He started third from the pole, but had the pole by the time
the first turn was reached. He went half a dczsn lengths in
front and trotted like clock work all the way round. The
time of the heat was very slow, even for colts, as Belorado
was never pushed In the second heat Driver Connelly laid
himself liable to the charge of palpably pulling Belorado
right under the wire. Ha appeared to begin this work at
the commencement of the back stretch, for Belorado broke
and kept running all the way to the turn. This gave Jennie
J. the lead by half a dczen lengths'" This seemed to be the
colt picked by Connellv to win, for when Lord Gilbert came
up Connelly caused Belorado to quicken his pace, Lot fast
enough to overtake Jennie J., but fast enough to keep up
with Lord Gilbert. At the distance pole, however, Jennie
J. broke and Lord Gilbert won. Connelly pulled Belorado
right under the wire so as not to beat Jennie J. for the
place. It was a crooked ride all the way around on the part
of Connelly, and the judges very properly called all bets off.
Lord Gilbert was 6 to 1. The fact that the hooks were will-
ing to pay 1 to 2 on Belorado, when they wouldn't lay a cent
against the colt in the first heat, showed that there was some-
thing wrong. There was no money against the colt again in
the third heat. He had it all his own way and Lord Gilbert
was just as easy a second."

Sam Phillips "Wins the St. Louis Derby.

Nearly thirty thousand persons saw Sam Phillip?, son of
St. Florian aod Reckon by imp. Pizirro, win the Derby at
St, Louie last Saturday. To a good start Wounded Knee
was first to show. Passing the judged' stand Wounded Knee
waB a neck in front of Highland Lad, which led Dr. Cave by
a head, all the others being within striking distance. In the
run down the back stretch Florizar assumed command, but
only momentarily, for Tommy Burns shook op Sam Phillips
and he shot to the front. At the mile and a quarter Phillips
was two open lengths in front of Florizar, and the latter had
a length the advantage of Star Chamber, which Devin had
brought up from fifth position. Sam Phillips came into the
stretch a length before Star Chamber, he four lengths ahead
of Florizar.

From this point the race became a procession, Sam Phillips
winning in a gallop by three lengths from Star Chamber,
which in turn beat Florizar four lengths for tbe place.
Wounded Knee staggered in four lengths behind Florizar.
The race was worth $10,000 to the winner.

Sam Phillipps, owned by a stable which always con-
tains aa equine king in its roster, has done everything
that has been asked of him this year. In the Club Mem-
bers' Handicap he ran a mile and a quarter in 2:06, after
picking none the best going, and that, too, carrying three
pounds above his weight for age. He was conceding
as good a horse as Pink Coat nine pouods, and ran him
to a head. The colt is in tbe hands of one of the most
capable trainers in America, George Walker. Year after
year the Schorrs have turned untried yearlings over to this
careful handler and each year has found the £chorr contin-
gent strong factors in the two year old events. Walker's
methods are worthy of emulation. He cannot be made to
start a horse until he is ready to race and when be sends one
to the post he is always worthy of careful consideration.
John F. Schorr, the owner of the colt, is probably the youDg-
est owner in America. He has fairly grown up with horses,
having been in him younger days a jockey of no mean abi).
ity. He was one of the most successful owners racing on the
San Francisco tracks last winter. Result:

Wounded Knee. Dr. Cave, Dake of Melbourne and Highland Lad also
ran, finishing as named.

Fred Mulholund is in Denver where he has been
acting as starter for tbe running races. The Denver papers
say he weilded the flag v ry satisfactorily. This is a new
role for Fred, who is one of the most versatile men connected
with the racing game. He is a good newspaper reporter, a
fair handicapper and can judge a close finish and judge it
right as well as any man.

Erank Rtjtteb, the lightweight, has received a tempor-
ary license from the Jockey Club. Rutler is under contract
to the Pepper stable and will soon make his Eastern debut.
Rutter was set down by tbe Chicago Jockey Club, but wbb
recently reinstated, and will be granted a yearly license when
the regular meeting of the Jockey Club is held.

Jockey Nichols, who was ruled off by the California
Jockey Club and has not been reinstated, rode at the Hono-
lulu meeting June 11th. A protest was made against his
riding but it was overruled.

Luke Ward, the brother to Hugh Penny, has run several
times bo far this season, but has not shown anything which
will make the public believe he will ever be as good a horse
as his successful brother.

Contracts for a residence on J. B. Haggin's Elmendor^
farm to cost $250,000 have just been let. Mr. Haggin wiU
make his summer home in Kentucky.

The grounds were free to the public |on Derby day at St.
Louis, admittance being charged, however, to the grand
stand and belting ring.

The eight contest for the Olympic Gun Clab challenge
live bird championship medal was won by Otto Feadner
last Suoday morning at logleeide The race was the contin-
uation of a tie match shot on the 12th inst, and again resulted
io a tie. Feadner shot at twenty-four birds from the thirty
yard mark and Marshall stood on the twenty-eight yard
mark to shoot twenty-five birds. Feudner led off, both men
shooting in good form until the first bird was missed, Marshall's
ninth, rather an easy bird. Feadner then lost his sixteenth
pigeon, aleo an easy bird, which was hard hit and dropped
but a few inches beyond the score line. Marshall lost his
chances of winning on the twenty first bird an incomer, that
dropped oat of bounds. This left the race again a tie each
having scored twenty-three birds. It was then agreed to
shoot a mies and out from the thirty yard mark. Marshall

missed his fourth bird, a screamer straightaway from No. 3
trap.thus losing the race to Feudner. This was the third con-
test between them, Feadoer has now won the medal four times,
one more win entitles him to permanent ownership of the
prize. Mr. A. M. Shields will probably be the next chal-
lenger for this medal.

After the medal race A. M. Shields and Achille Roos
shot an interesting match at twenty-five pigeons, Shields
allowing Roob one bird and winning by a margin of two kills.
Herbert Kullman and A. M. 8hields then Bhot a friendly
match at twenty-five birds, the latter winning. In a race at
twelve birds between Kullman and Roob the former was the
winner. (In a twenty target race at blue rocks between them
the results were a tie). Roos in practice shooting shot twelve
birds straight. The birds supplied Sunday were a very ex-
cellent lot of haidy birds. The scores made in the challenge
race and practice shoots were as follows :

The Marin County Case.

By courtesy of Judge Ross of the United States Circuit
Court, we are enabled to give the full text of the decision
recently rendered by him in the case of W. A. Marshall, of
Marin county, California, who had been convicted of the use
of a magazine shotgun for killing game, in violation of a
county ordinance prohibiting the employment of such an
arm for killing birds.

Judge Ross finds in favor of Mr. Marshall, holding that
the ordinance prohibiting the nse of a magazine gun is
unconstitutional, on the ground that to forbid the use of ft
repeating gun is virtually to deprive the possessor of his
property, since a gun is valueless unless it can be used; and
that this deprivation is unconstitutional, inasmuch as it is
not a reasonable exercise of -the police power. "The
absolute prohibition of the use of one's own property on his
own land cannot be held to be a reasonable exercise of the
police power when regulation will plainly attsin the end
desired." This end, the opinion holds, is to limit a person
to the killing of twenty-five quail, partridge or grouse in any
one day.

Adopting this reasoning as sound, we must also concede
that swivel guns, nets, snares and other devices may be used,
bo long as the legal limit of game taken shall not be ex-
ceeded; also with fishing, that in all cases where there exist
limitations as to the number of fish caught the use of nets,

jHNE 23, 1900]

tiyije gveett&c tmb &pavt*nian

jigs, snsres aDd other devices is warranted for the capture of
trout and bass, provided only that the fisherman shall keep
within the prescribed limits of number.

If then the principles enunciated in this Marin county
decision shall be held to constitute good law and shall be
extended in their application, this will be to brush aside
as unconstitutional all regulations forbiddiog swivel guns,
nets, trap3 and snares where there is a limitation of the
amount of game to be taken. For instance, in the Adiron-
dacks the clauses of the law which forbid hounding and
jacking deer most be held unconstitutional, because there is
also in the statute a clause which limits the number of deer
an individual may take in a seasorj; and the hunter could em-
ploy a hound or a jack light to take the two deer the law
allows him.

In like manner applied to fishing this principle would
make unconstitutional the Maine law against taking trout
otherwise than by angling, because there is in the law al-o a
limitation of the number of trout a person may take in a
day. In fact, in the great majority of the States a large body
of the game and fish laws would be swept away as the logical
carrying out of the reasoning adopted by Judge Ross,
if his reasoning should be accepted as final. We do not
believe that it will be accepted as final, however, since it
appears to us to be based on a fallacy. The fundamental
error is in the reading of the prohibition of magazine
arms as intended only to to strengthen the provision limiting
the number of birds lawfully killed in a day. We fail to
find anything in the statute to warrant this assumption.
There are two distinct prohibitions. One forbids the taking
of more than twenty-five birds in a day. The other forbids
the use of certain implements for taking what ? The twenty-
five birds? No; any birds whatever. The two provisions
are separate and distinct. One is not intended to secure the
effect of the other. Each one stands by itself.

To sustain the contrary view taken by the Court, it would
be necessary to interpret the clause,

Every person who shall take, kill or destroy more than twenty -five
quail, partridge or grouse In one day, etc.,

as in effect declaring that a person is entitled to twenty-five
birds in a day, and may take them in any way he can get
them. If this were the intent of the law, Judge Ross's find-
ing as to the further prohibition of a certain style of gun for
taking the game would be sustained; for if the gunner were
by law entitled to twenty-five birds, clearly it would not
matter bow he got them. But the statute forbidding the
taking of more than twenty-five birds is not intended to
parcel oat the game to the citizens of the county and to
assert that each shooter is entitled to twenty-five birds, take
them how he may. It means in this particular case that he
may take twenty-five if he can secure them by such means
as are legalized by the statute. Or to put it in another way,
the law says to the gunner, you may use only certain appli-
ances, and with these certain appliances yon may take only
so much game.

The framers of the Marin ordinance we may assume were
influenced by some such considerations as the?e: Using single
and double guns, the shooters of the county, expert and
inexpert all together, are capable of killing a certain total
amout of game. We will put the limit which the expert
individual may take in a day at twenty-five; such limitation
will apply to the expert onlv; for the inexpert no such re-
striction 16 required, since their bags will of necessity be
smaller. By restriction of the most skillful to twenty-five
birds in a day, the average killed by all the shooters will be
less than twenty-five, and the aggregate killed by all will be
such a reasonable drain of the supply as it can stand. Bat
if weapons of greater efficiency than double guns were to be
used, their employment would increase the capacity of the
inexpert shooters and so would increase the execution of the
county shooters aB a whole. We will therefore forbid the
use of such weapens. And in doing this they were quite
wiloin the limits of well established and recognized constitu-
tional authority.

The Marin coanty ordinance by these two separate and
distinct prohibitions was designed to operate in two separate
and distinct ways: first, to limit excessive destruction by
expert shooters; second, to prevent the use of an arm which
by reason of its effectiveness would increase the common ex-
pertness — tha' is to say, the destructive capacity — of the
shooters as a body. Whatever may be the relative efficiency
of the repealing Bhotgun and the double-barrel arm (the
Marin county testimony was to the effect that the double-
barrel was the more effective) does not affect the principle
involved. If the repeater is undaly destructive the Legis-
lature has a constitutional right to forbid its employment.
If the doable barrel gun is undaly destructive there is like
constitutional warrant for prohibiting its use, The law-
makers may forbid either one; they may forbid both. Indeed
they may go farther, and acting still within constitutional
authority, may, to use the language of Judge Ross, prohibit
"all but muzzle-loading guns, and so on until the pop-gun
only is permitted to be used." They may go even beyond
that and forbid the pop- gun. They may forbid absolutely
the taking by any means whatever — Forest and Stream

All at once they saw a live deer, standing trembling on a
cake of ice. Rapidly be approached the falls. He seemed
to gather himself for a final plunge for life. The gentlemen
watching saw destruction coming to a handsome buck, and
were powerless to hinder. They held their breaths for the
final plunge. The great cake of ice rolled up as the lower
edge tipped over the mighty cascade, but the deer stood his
ground.

He went under the water below the dam. He conld not be

for his dead body to come to the surface. But be appeared,
after a momeot of g eat suspense, alive, and immediately

Trade Notes.

We are in receipt this week of a handsomely bound
pamphlet issued by an Eastern fire arms company. The
booklet contains an illustrated price list of a complete line
of goods made by the firm, as well as other interesting data.
For this we tender our thanks.

Enclosed with the pamphlet came a blank contract to
clinch the following advertising proposition:

" We will accept in fall payment for any repeating rifle or repeat-
ing shot gun made by as and described in the accompanying catalog,
one-half the catalog price in advertising and one-half cash."

We would be under further obligations if the advertising
manager of this progressive firm would favor as with the
recipe for the particular ''hot air" nerve tonic which he uses.

This journal has been in business for twenty years as a
weekly publication and does not care now to go into the gan
trade, what we need in that line we will purchase from oar
local dealers. The local dealers and leading manufacturers
pay our rates in cash for their advertising announcements.
We will not enter into competition against tbem by finding
customers to purchase fire arms that we would have to buy at
half price nor will we give away valuable advertising space
as a bonus for the questionable privilege, to say nothing of
trying to undersell the firm's Coast agent by disposing of
the goods to the trade.

In looking over a recent list of U. M. G. loaded shells we
notice a High Base shell load for "Sporting Ballistite," 12
gauge, 22 grains, one grease proof, two black edge and one
card board wad, 1} ounces of shot. No. 5 primer. A 12 gauge
blue rock load in an ''Acme" shell is 24 grains, 1 1-8 ounces
of shot, No. 3 primer. For live birds the load is 26 grains,
I]- ounces of shot. Ballistite is yellow colored dense powder,
perfectly smokeless, waterproof and unaffected by climatic
change. Sixteen grains of Ballistite is equal to 2 drams of
blacfe: powder. This powder is also put ap in "Selby Factory
Loaded 8hellB."

Al the recent Fresno tournament over fifty per cent, of
the shooters UBed Da Pont Smokeless Powder, " E. C." and
Schultze, and Gold DuBt came next in order. Of the thirteen
priz.-s and trophies shot for seven of them were won with
Do Pont Smokeless, three out of six men in the Empire
team which won the Antioch trophy also used Du Pont.
Two trophies were won by shooters who used Schaltze, one
trophy was won with Gold Dub* powder, the other two were
won by powders manufactured in the East.

The shooters who made straight scores with an L C. Smith
gno at Ingleside Sunday were Haight, Nauman. Webb, M.
0. Feudner, F. Feudner and E. L. 8chultz. Edg. Forster
and W. 8. Golcher shot a Clabrough gan. V. J. La Motte
favors a Remington gun, C. W. Debenham fancies a Parker,
of which make many were in use.

Otto Feudner left town on Monday morniog for a two
weeks' vacation. A portion of the trip will be devoted to a
sojourn at Dixon, bis former home, and tben Maine Prairie
will be vieited. Mr. Feudner will combine business with
pleasure, dariog his absence he will consummate arrange-
ments tending to the future management of his land and
farming interests

This seems an improbable game story, but it is vouched for
by Fish and Game Commissioner Henry O. Stanley of Maine.

One day recently he and his colleague, L. T. Carleton and
P. O. Vickery of Augusts, Me , were in a club bouse in that
city that overlooks the Kennebec The room they were in
affords a good view of the dam and water pouring over it.
The gentlemen were admiring the scene, the waters rushing
madly over the rapids, loaded with huge cakes of ice. The
ice was just leaving the river above, and was bringing down

An' you loll within he shadders nigh some blosBomln' wild rose,

Now an' then across the medders rings the tinkle o' the bells-
Like the orchestry o' Nature eomewhar' hid among the dells;

With the Fly-Casters.

This afternoon and to-morrow morning the first contest of
the class series of the season's fly-casting will be commenced.
The classification series were properly ended on May 13th.
Re-entries were then made by different members in casting
ap back scores. The re-entry scores shown below of Mr.
Reed in delicacy and accuracy are exceptionally good. Mr.
Reed contemplates, during his Eastern trip, pay;og a visit to
Chicago in time to be present at Garfield Park during the
medal contest of the Chicago Fly-Casting Club on July 14th.

On Tuesday evening the club members propose to celebrate
the return to California of Mr. Horace Smyth, the club's
secretary. Mr. Smyth has been away from this city for a
number of months, daring which time he has taken a trip to
Europe, the Holy Land and Egypt.

Mr. Smyth is regarded in the highest esteem by his fellow
clubmen, the banquet will be in keeping with the many
pleasant re-unions of this grand association of anglers and
sportsmen.

A paragraph which appeared in the Sunday Chronicle of
the 10th inst., purporting to give the scores cast by club
members daring the previous day, has caused a great deal of
expostulatory comment among the members. The scores
were fictitious, several of the names given were not those of
club members and those of them mentioned were not present.
The results listed w*re purely imaginary. This publication
had a tendency to expose certain gentlemen as well as the
club to ridicule.

''Tom" Ferguson is an ardent angler who has just returned
from a short trip to Catalina Island. He is more than
pleased with the grand sport aflorded in tbe ocean near
Avalon. He was out day after day and thoroughly eDjoyed
the unequaled salt water angling. Tom caught many a
mighty fish, one of tbem a leaping tuna, weighing 189$
pounds when caught, shrank to tbe proportions of a torn cod
in crossing the Mobave desert, tbe heat was «o intense. The
fish was on exhibition at his irrigation office on Market
street.

To many it is an unknown fact that the leaping tuna and
fighting yellowtail can be caught in Monterey Bay, tbey have
been caught in Monterey Bay for years past. The San
Francisco fish markets, by tbe way, receive nearly all their
tunas from tbe net fishermen at Monterey Bay.

Fishing must b& good somewhere and for some lucky
anglers. During tbe week Henry Skinner received a nice
box of elegant rainbow trout from Boca caught by Fred
Colgrove. Mr. Fountain hooked twelve pounds of beauties
one day this week between 4 and 5 p. m. They are rising to
the fly splendidly on the Truckee at that Point.

From Independence lake Fred 6. Johnson sent down about
forty cutthroat trout on Wednesday. Jobn Butler was the
distributing agent. Tbe fish are taking the fly on the lake,
but just what lure we did not learn.

Lake Tahoe also seems to be yielding some sport to the
angler, Harry Hosmer was the recipient of some elegant lake
trout caught on Thursday by Charles Kennitzer and a friend.

Acbille Rooa had poor luck one day recently at Sims. He
remarked to Judge Nussbaumer, "I wish those trout would
organize a anion.'1 "Why?" aeked the Judge. "Ob! io
they would go on a strike once in a white," Mr. Roos replied.

Striped bass anglers have had but poor returns for a day
on salt water for over a week now.

Reports from the following trout waters are to the effect
that fishing is good: Big and Little Sur, Carmel in Monterey,
San Lorenzo in Santa Cruz, Garcia and Guallala in Mendo-
cino, Lake Independence, Truckee at Boca, Upper Sacra-
mento and McCloud The streams in Sonoma county are
not to be ignored by any means when in quest of a day's
angling.

Results at PUarcitoe lake were bad last week. Few fish-
ermen caught any trout.

The management of pet dogs differs very considerably
from general dog management, inasmuch as they are mostly

pet dogs need an amount of attention which ordinary dogs
do not, and the mere fact of their being boused indoors tends
to make them more or less delicate.

Our remarks shall be classified in dealing with this subject
in two sections — the first reliliog to the feeding of the pet
dogs, and tbe second to their treatment in sickness. It is
not necessary to refer to their housing, because it is taken for

effect of the wholemeal upon the bowels which seem? to have

Pet dogs ought not to be fed with all sorts of dainties. If
this be allowed they will have bad teeth, and will never be
as healthy and pleasant companions as they wonld be if fed
upon coarse, rough, wholesome food. It is mistaken kind-

The possibility of two bench Bhows in September under

At a meeting of specialty club delegates held in the office
of the Breeder and Spobtsman on the evening of the ISth
inst. authoritative information was received from the Cali-
fornia State Agricultural Society that the requests of the
fancy had been favorably considered and that arrangements
had been made to hold a bench show at Sacramento in a
Bailable building on the fair grounds during tbe State Fair.
The days set are September 5th, 6th, 7th aod 8th. A. K. C.

known fancier and judgq of experience on the Western States
circuit has been selected to judge in the ring. Special in-
ducements in the Bhape of large cash prizeB will be offered

will be run on the race track section of the fair grounds, open

Advices received from Mr. Edward Smith, Secretary of
the San Francisco and San Mateo Agricultural Association,

tractions to be given in conjunction with the agricultural fair

THE FARM.

Proper Nests.

Many claim that the nest should be on the
ground, but all claims that bens should have
their nests on the moist ground are bat the-
ories and unsupported by facts. What is
required for the hen in winter is a snug, warm
location, while in summer she should have a
cool place. The best material for a nest is
dry earth on the bottom, with chopped hay
over the earth. Then dust the next, hen and
eggs with Persian insect powder, put a smal'
quantity of tobacco refuse in the nest, and
clean it out thoroughly should an egg become
broken or the nest foul. The broken egg will
cause lice quicker than anything else. But
first Bee that the hen has no lice; then give
her good eggs and she will bring off a brood
if she has a warm and comfortable nest. The
neat should be made comfortable, so as to take
outside for cleaning, and it should never be
placed where any of the fowls can cause it to
be filthy or roost upon it. It should never
be so high as to compel effort to reach it, a8
the large breeds will prefer to lay on the
ground rather than to reach a high nest, even
when a footway is provided, to say noth.
ing of the fact that some of the hens learn to
fly over a fence by first learning to reach a
high nest- Never have the nest in a barrel
or so constiucted that the hen must jump
down to it, as broken eggs will be the conse-
quence, but rather so place the entrance as to
permit her to walk in upon the eggs. The
nest ehould be placed in a dark position, or
10 arranged that the interior will be somewhat
dark, which will be a partial protection
against egg eating. For a flock of onedczen
henp, four nests will be sufficient. — Prairie
Farmer.

Massachusetts has a novel law for the pro-
tection of roadside trees, under the provisions
of which trees which a town may wish to pre-
serve are marked, and whoever in any way
injures or defaces a tree so marked is liable to
a fine of from $5 to $100. The mark is a
spike or a nail, with an M impressed cpon
the head, which is driven into the tree at a
point 4 to 6 feet above the ground. The law
was enacted in 1890, and its application has
grown each year with the spread of the forestry
sentiment. The nails are supplied by the
State Board of Agriculture, and the Board is
receiving this year more applications than
ever before. Dp to this year about 200,000
nails had been issued, or an average of about
20,000 a year. Thus far this year applications
have been received from some fifty cities and
towns asking in the aggregate for over 50,000
nails. This shows a decided movement in
favor of roadside tree preservation, and inas-
much as the applicants are lor the most part
agricultural communities the indications are
favorable for a cessation of the old practice of
catting everything close down to the traveled
way. If every one of the 250,000 nails had
been used to spike a single tree, no allowance
being made for renewals, and the trees grew
regularly 33 feet apart, therj would be to-day
nearly 1600 miles of rcadside provided witb
protective shade trees one inch or more in
diameter. This is about 7 per cent, of the
length of all the public roads in the State.

Kill the Slok Fowls.

Frank Meacham of Sonoma county shipped
a consignment of twenty bocks and ten ewts
to Honolulu last week. They were from his
hetds of 6ne Shropshires and Merinos, and all
pedigreed stock. The same week Mr. Meacham
shipped a number of good representatives of
both breeds to Mexico.

No one can efiord to harbor aick fowls un-
less they are very valuable specimens, and
even then the chance of recovery or relurn to
usefulness at least is very slim. If allowed lo
run about, they will spread their disease
among the rest cf the flock. If placed alone
for treatment, the time and money expended
for nostrums to cure them are beyond the
value of the fowl. Much time and mosey
and anxiety will be saved by ending the life
of the ailing one. When dispatched and dis
posed of, there is no danger of having the
troubles spread into the young stcck, nor will
there be any danger in the future of eating one
of its young whose carcass may be infected by
disease.

Progress of a very remarkable character
was reported at the annual meeting of breed-
ers of Holland cattle at Buffalo last week.
The membership of the Holsteic-Friesian
Association has been growing by leaps and
bounds, and in the matter of authenticated
tests the Association has set the pace. In
numbers of tests and in the amount of butter-
fat yielded the record has been wholly eclipsed.
The past year has made memorable history
for the black and white breed in all respects,
and as leading breeders report an unusual
clearance of all salable stock it is not Strang
that talk of renewed importations was in t r e
air at the annual meeting. A more inviting
time for such an enterprise has never been
known. All necessary steps were taken look-
ing to the participation of Holstein-FrieBiaos
in the dairy test to be conducted at the Pan-
American Exposition next June, and as pres-
ent indications point to a representation of
seven breeds in that test the dairy world will
look forward to the event with the keenest
interest. Things are beginning to go swim-
mingly with the dairy breeds as well as with
the beef breeds. — Breeders Gazette.

The Grout Bill, which has attracted so
much attention in Congress, and has been
three times considered by the president and
hie cabinet for various polttical reasons, will
be voted upon December 6. h by the House of
Representatives, three days after the assemb-
ling of Congress for the short session. This
bill provides for an increase of the tax on
oleomargarine colored to resemble butter,
from two to ten cents per pound. Such oleo-
margariLe cannot be lawfully sold in thirty-
two leading StateB, but 62,000,000 pounds were
illegally sold therein last year, hence the
demand for national legislation. The bill
reduces the tax on that oleomargarine made
in its natural white color, from two cents to
one-fourth cent per pound, so the working-
man may have the mixture if he wants it,
and does not need to take it if he doesn't.
Ovr 200 of the 356 Congressmen are said to
favor the passage of the bill.

Farmers who start a small foundation herd
of pure bred stock will be surprised at the
rapid growth of the herd when all the females
are kept for breeding. You want a pure bred
bull to grade up, and two or three females
will, in ten years, give you a good herd. The
demand for pure bred stock ct all hinds is
greater than the supply and is rapidly in-
creasing all over the land. The markets c*e
mand the superior quality of the improved

breeds.

Warm days have come and laying fowls
are apt to fall off in egg production unless
they have proper care. This is particularly
true with fowls that have a free range, and is
due largely to over-eating of green foods, and
not enough grains or solid foods. When such
is found to be the case it will pay to confine
the fowls for a few days, or until they get
back to egg production again, feeding them
when confined grain at night and moro<ng,
and the mash at noon. Corn should not
enter very largely into the grain food during
the summer, for ct is too warming and is not
needed. When fowls are confined in house
and vards care most be taken to make them
as comfortable as possible by seeiog that they
have plenty of cool, fresh water during the
hottest part of the day, where they mav duBt
as they please. The houses should be kep'
perfectly clean. Green food should be given
to theae confined fowls twice a day during
warm weather. 80 far as it is possible to do
so, vary this green food by giviDg them vege
table tops, grape and grass clippings. Milk
is good for them, but it should not be given
as a substitute for water. Water is probably
more essential for the comfort ot fowls during
the hot weather than anything else, &od it
enters so largely into the composition of the
egg that for this reason, if for no other, it
should be liberally given throughout the

The offer that the Southern Trade Record mates

about has lately bronght letters from horse dealers,

Iu order that we might be able to give a satisfac-

Cows as Food Producers.

The cow is one of the mcsi valuable cf tte
farm animals as an economic producer of food
from the coarse and cheap fodders of the farm,
says a correspondent of The Breeder's Gazette.
The followiog illustrates this poini: Ooe
pound of dry matter in milk is produced from
8 pounds of dry matter in food, in beef from
27 pounds, in mutton from 21 pouDds and in
pork from 7 pounds.

The only fair comparison is between the
ruminating animals, which are fed on similar
food. The hog is fed almost wholly on con-
centrated foods, as the various grains. I'
takes nearly three and one-half times as much
food to make a pound of dry food in beef as
it dees to make ooe pound of dry matter in
milk and over two and one-half limes as
much to produce the same results with sheep.
The cow is therefore a much more efficient
food producer than either the Bteer or the
sheep.

The cow, moreover, produces a food that is
adapted to a wide range of use and is almost
indispensable to the young of human kind.
Milk, too, and the products from it are more
thoroughly digested than other animal foods,
and there is less waste. The dairy cow will
long survive the steer as a producer of food

for man.

■ ♦

Killing Poultry-

It is admitted that poultry when bled to
death is whiter in flesh than wnen prepared
in any other manner. Then the question is
how to cause them to bleed to death and not
disfigure them in any way. This can be easily
dobe by opening the b?ak of tha fowl, then
with a sharp pointed knife make an incision
at the back of the roof, which will divide the
vertebra and cause immediate death, after
which hang up the fowl by the legs until the
bleeding ceases. Next rinse the beak out with
vinegar and wate:. Fowls killed in this way
keep longer and do not present the unsightly
external marks as those killed by tbe ordinary
Bystem of breaking the neck. When the
entrails are drawn immediately after death,
and tbe fowl dressed, stuff it to keep its shape ;
it will keep fre;b much longer. It is a mis-
taken idea to cram poultry just before killing
to make them appear heavy, as tbe undigested
food soon begins to ferment, and putrefaction
sets in, as i- noticed by the quantity of
greenish looking fowls that are displayed in
onr markets.

PAOIPIO BREEDERS FUTURITY.

Close of Denver Meeting.

A Grand Lot of Three Year Olds to Start In
Both Divisions at Santa Rosa.

Last payment has been made on ten three jear olde in the
Pacific Breaders Fatarity which is to be decided at the Trot-
ting Horse Breeders Santa Rosa meeting next week Six of
those considered good enough to 3tand a chance of getting
some of the money are trotters and the remaining fonr will
contest iu the pacing division.

The trotting foals nave $1000 to Btart for, the Btake beiDg
divided into fonr moneys. There has never been a higher
claGS half dozen named in a colt stake in California and it
need not surprise anyone if a very low record ia made in the
race. The six on which last payment of $50 each waB made
on the 22d instant showB that Mr. Durfee's great Btallion Mc-
Kinney 2:11| is represented by no less that five out of the
six three year olds, which is certainly a very strong endorse-
ment for the stallion as a sire. The other colt is by Vendome
Stock Farm's stallion Iran Alto 2:12£, a son of the great
trotter Palo Alto 2:08J. The names of the six with their
breeding and the names of their breeders are as follows :

Dagmar, brown filly by McKinney, dam Steinway Maid
by Steinway. J. B. Iverson.

Eala Mac 2:27£, bay filly by McKinney, dam Balance All
by Brigadier D. E. Knight, deceased.

Rosara, black filly by McKinney, dam By By by Nutwood.
Santa Rosa Stock Farm.

Tom Smith, bay colt by McKinney, dam Daisy S. by Mc-
Donald Chief. E. P. Heald.

Vendome, bay colt by Iran Alto, dam Linda Oak by Guy
Wilkes. Vendome Stock Farm.

Zsmbra, chestnut colt by McKinney, dam Nellie Fair-
mount by Fairmount. A. G. Gurnett.

Six better bred three year olds it would be hard to get to-
gether in one race, and when they line up for the word the
verdict will be that a better looking half dozen has never
been seen in a colt race in California.

The star of the collection on past performances is Eala
Mac, whose handsome proportions adorn the title page of
this issue of the Bbeedee and Sportsman. 8he is a dark
bay, and, as will be readily seen from her picture, very like
her illustrious sire. She won the two year old trotting
division of the stake last year very easily the time of the
two heats being 2:28 and 2:28J. A few days previous she
won another event for two year olds, getting her record of
2:27* in the first heat. She started in but one other race last
year which was at Sacramento, where she won in slower
time. In all of these races Vendome was second, and in
two Dagmar was third. Tom Smith waB fifth in the Btake
race, bot neither RoBara nor Zambra have ever started.
Eula Mac was purchased last April at the sale of the horses
belonging to the Knight eBtate by MeEsrs. Geo. W. Kings-
bury, of this city, and Wm. Hogoboom of Marysville, who
paid $1100 for her. She is entered in the Occident Stake at
the State Fair this year and ia now thought to stand the beet
chance of annexing that rich event.

At Santa Roea one day last week Eula Mac worked the
last half of a workout mile in 1:04J, which is undoubtedly
the fastest half mile made by a trotter in California (bis year.
She went the first half in about 2:12, it is said, thus making
the mile in 2:16$. A eye witness informed the writer that
Eula Mac seemed to go an easy mile, and when within fifty
feet of the wire Hogoboom tapped her very lightly with the
whip and she went away from it at increased speed, showing
that she was not all out by a good deal. She is not only a
very handsome filly, but is certainly a great prospect for a
champion trotter. Mr. Hogoboom has given her all her
training and she does him great credit. There is not a
pimple on her and she is aB sound as the day she waB foaled
The fact that there are five other three year olds whose
owners think well enough ot them to start them against Eula
Mac, shows that they must be pretty good goods themBelves,
as the capabilities of the daughter of Balance All have not
been kept dark but are known to all.

Vendome, the Bon of Palo Alto, is doing some good wor&
and By By's filly has shown miles very close to 2:20 and can
probably shade that time a few teconds. While Eula Mac
will undoubtedly be the favorite for the race, Bhe will not
have a walk over, good filly as she is.

The paciog division has four on which last payment has
been made, as follows :

Daken D., bay colt by Athadon, dam Zada McGregor by
Robert McGregor. C. A. Owen.

N. L B., cheBtnut colt by Diablo dam Alice Bell by
Washington, I. L. Borden.

Volita, bay filly by Beau Brummel, dam Carlotta Wilkes
by Charlie Wilkes. Santa Rosa Stock Farm.

Waldstein Jr , brown colt by Waldstein, dam Sue 8tar by
Brigadier. Kingsbury & Hogoboom.

These four met io their two year old form last year and
N. L. B. outclassed them all, winning his two starts and
getting a record of 2:21 J, which waB the fastest record made
by a two year old pacer last year. In the first race Volita
was Becond and Waldstein Jr. third. In the next, Key del
Diablo wan second and Daken D. third. At Sacramento N.
L B. did not start, but the others met in a $350 purse for
two year olds. Volita won in 2:24 and 2:28£ with Daken D
second both times and Waldstein Jr, third the first heat and
distanced the other. All four of these pacers are working
well this year and tbe winner of the sta ke will doubtless get
a low record.

Denveb, June 26 — The race meeting closed here yester-
day. It being a postponed day the management offered a
free gate as an attraction. Even with this strong inducement
only a fair crowd viewed the harness and running events.
This can be attributed almost entirely to the syndicate style
of betting. The groteequeness of the prices laid bordered
on the absurd, 100 per cent books being as common a8
honeybees on an orange blosBom. Next year a complete
reformation is promised under an entirely new management.
The California horsemen and riders participating at the
meeting more than held their own. "Billy" Randall won
more than half a dozen purses with Midlove, Gauntlet and
Panamint, but the books held his horses at such ridiculously
low odds that he laid away but little outside of the purses.
He refused an offer of $1000 for Gauntlet from the Texas
rider, Jones. The Montana turfman will ship his horses
back to Sacramento and will then pay a visit to his Great
Falls home. Frank McMahon will rest Alaria and Croker
at this point while he journeys on to Saratoga to give the
Eastern ring a rattle. Frank did not win many purses, but
he was down good and thick when Alaria did score.

Morton and McArthur are as yet undecided whether to
return to California or make the St. Louis trip. Game
Warden is still on the sick list and will need quite a let-up
Harry Finton, owner of Terrene, will Bhip to St. Louis,
where he hopes to annex a purse or two.

McDonald, the Coast rider, outclassed the other rider3
shoes to plate with eighteen firsts, five seconds, three third6
and only eight unplaced mounts to his credit. . His piloting
of horses, even at this mixed meeting, was above reproach.
Bozeman could land but a single winner, his habits being
against success. "Chub" Russell reached the wire first on
five and Fauntleroy on two horses. The Texas rider, Jones
owner of R. Q Ban, waB Becond on the list with ten winning
mounts. McDonald will return to California, The Turf Con-
gress still refusing to issue him a license.

The attendance throughout at Overland Park has been
good, but from a financial standpoint the promoters about
broke even. Galvin & Co , the bookmakers, got out the last
three days. The judging in both the trotting and running
events was performed by F. E. Mulholland of San Francisco
to tbe entire satisfaction of local and visiting turfmen. On
the closing day P. F. Regan occupied the starter's hox and
his work was of the highest class.

Raolnpr by Eleotrio Light.

The Horse Review raiseB the question whether a perfor-
mance by electric light will constitute a record or a bar.
This is in view of an anticipated match race between John K.
Gentry and Joe Patchen at Combination Park, Boston, during
the Elks' Carnival, August 4th. The Review assumes it as pos-
sibIe,though not probable, that the previous time of one of the
horses may be beaten, and suggests that such a performance
may be in contravention of the rule prohibiting performances
"after dark." It strikes us that the only question that could
arise is fixed by the rule itself that makes the contention
whether or not when the performance occurs "it is bo dark
that the gait of the horses cannot be plainly Been by the
judges in the stand." Whether the light is produced by
electricity or sunlight would not appear to be material, and
it is not necessary to examine the title of the rule in order to
ascertain its meaning when there is no ambiguity in the rule
itself. The only question will be one of fact, whether the
light is sufficient to enable the judges to see tbe gait of the
horses plainly in the stand. This will depend altogether on
how well the company furnishing the light performs its
duty.— Kentucky Stock Farm.

Matinee Racing at Los Angeles.

Society turned out in force at Los Angeles last Saturday
to witness the events given under the auspices of the Los
Angeles Driving Club.

The 6rst race was a free for all pace, half-mile heats, beBt
two in three, and the entries were Newport, owned and
driven by O. A. Bartee; Sunday, owned and driven
by G. W. Dixon of Riverside; Burley F, owned and
driven by H. G. Bundrem; Cash, owned and driven by John
C. CHnne; Floretta Belle, owned pod driven by Byron Erken-
brecher, and Primrose, owned and driven by M. M. Potter.
Sunday took the first heat after a hot finish with Burley F.
Floretta Belle was third under a strong pull; time, 1:07. The
second heat fell to Floretta Belle, who passed Sunday in the
Btretch, and won by a neck. Erkenbrecher grinned to the
stand as he came under the wire, because he knew he had the
race. Primrose came up a poor third; time, 1:06 Owing to
an accident Potter was unable to drive the third heat and Joe
Desmond took his place. This heat aho fell to Floretta
Belle, who won as she pleased, Primrose moving up to
second place and Sunday taking third; time 1:03.

The second race was a free for all trot, half mile heatB,
best two in three, and had for entries, Chico, owned and
driven by F. E. Browne; Orangewood, owned and driven by
John Reynolds; Stanley P., owned and driven by ' Ezra
8timBon,and Irene Crocker, owned and driven by M. M.
Potter. This race was easy for Irene Crocker, and she took
it io two straight heats handily. Chico was Becond in both
heats and Stanley P. and Orangewood divided honors by
coming in last, changing places at the tail end of the pro-
cession without creating much excitement.

The third race was a half-mile dash, running, and had for
entries Petrarch, owned by G. L. Waring and ridden by Dick
Bettner, both of Riverside; Harvey V., owned and ridden
by Arthur Carroll of Riverside; Baby May, owned and
ridden by Dave Llewellyn; Ben Bolt, owned and ridden by
J. G. Mott, and My Chance, owned by M. M. Potter and
ridden by H. G. Bundrem. Potter at first had a stable boy
on My Chance, but the judges would not allow it, and finally
Bundrem took the mount. Petrarch was the speedy one of
the bunch, and under the good riding of Bettner passed
Llewellyn on Baby May and came under the wire in a driv-
ing finish, followed by Harvey V. Baby May finished third,
close up, time 50£ seconds. Mott lost his cap and pulled up
in the stretch. My Chance waB practically left at the post.
The fourth race was a mixed class event, mile heats, best
two in three, and had entered Moxie, owned and driven by
G. W. Dixon; Dr. Dan, owned by T. J. Hanner and driven
by O. H. Bortee; Lady May, owned by F. D. Lewis snd
driven by Dick Bettner; Linda, owned and driven by Paul
Peipers; Pat McKinney, owned and driven by Dr. Shorb;
Bill Green, owned and driven by Godfrey Fritz; Beveta,
owned and driven by A. W. Herwig, and Lister, owned by
M. M. Potter and driven by Joe Desmond. This was a
Riverside race, horses from that place finishing one, two,
three in straight heats. The Btart in the first heat was very
bad, and a howl went up from the stand, but it made no
difference, anyway. Doctor Dan had easy game winning,
followed by Moxie and Lady May in both heats in the order
named; time, 2:30, 2:22.

At the end of this race Dr. LeMoyne Wills tried to trot
his horse Dick in better than 2:20, At the first quarter the
hoise went in the air, eo he waB brought back and tried it
again. Although he was up repeatedly he did this mile in
2:24|. Not satisfied, the Doctor Bent him again, and this
time the judges announced with broad winks that he had
gone in 2:19i, so tbe Doctor desisted.

The last race waB a mixed event, one-mile dash, and had
for entries Pronto, owned by C. W. Main of Riverside, and
driven by Dick Bettner; Nellie I., owned and driven by I.
Witherspoon; Buttons, owned and driven by Dr. H. Bert
Ellis; Dolly B , owned and driven by Joe Desmond; Tom
Moore, owned and driven by Dr. Moore; and Harry Win.
Chester, owned and driven by F. E, Browne. Nellie I. won
it handily, with Dolly B. second and Moore third. Time
2:22.

The exhibition half-mile to beat 59 seconds with a mixed
team by M. M. Potter was declared off, Potter being nnable
to drive.

Race Committee — W. H. Stimson, J. D. Desmond, John
G. Mott.

Judges — C. A. Sumner, Dr. W. W. Hitchcock, Walter
Vail.
Starter— C. A. Winehip.

Timers— John H. Norton, Byron E kenbrecher, C. H.
Chandler.
Marshal— Ed R. Smith.

The success of the meeting has determined the Driving
Club to give them regularly, and now that it has been demon-
strated that clean racing for itself will prove popular it is
expected that society people and lovers of good horses will
join the Driving Club. The initiation fee is $3 and the

monthly dues $1.

The standard trotter is growing in favor all over the
United States. California can lead the world as a place for
breeding the trotting horse as it has the advantages of feed
and climate superior to any to be found elsewhere. Watch
the races this year and note the horses that have good looks
and speed enough to nin. Then breed your beBt mares to
the stallions that produced the qualities you want.

P. W. Hodges' Strinff of Trotters and Paoers.

At Cleveland Track,

Roadster Races at Sacramento.

One of the strongest stables which will go through the
California circuit this year is that trained by P W. Hodges
of Los Angeles. Mr. Hodges is well known to the admirers
of harness horses all over California and is very generally
known about the big tracks of the East. He has been in the
business for many years, has trained and developed some sen-
sational trotters and is regarded as one of the most capable
trainers in the business, while his personality and character
are such as to entitle him to the regard and respect of every
one with whom he comes in contact and to make him a
credit to the business with which he is connected.

Hie stable this year will consist of but about five or six
horses, but they make up in quality what they lack in num-
bers, probably the best of the string is the richly bred green
trotting mare Atherine She is by Patron 2:14, dam
Atherine by Harold, grandam by Pilot Jr. She is a blocd
like looking mare of good size, and of the rich red bay char-
acteristics of the Patrons. She has shown some extremely
fast work and race horse quality, and those familiar with her
predict that she will trot a mile in 2.10 or better before the
season is over.

Another extremely fast horse in this string is the gray, or
almost white, green trotting horse Leo. He is by Ed Wilkes,
dam by A. W. Richmond. He is a horse of great finish and
beauty with a high nervous organization, and the stamina of
winning an eight heat race. He has worked a mile in 2:16,
last half in 1:07, and has shown bursts of speed which war-
rant the confidence that he could be driven a mile in 2 :10.

The weJl known mare Hazel Kinney 2:12& is another
member of thiB string. She is by McKinney 2:11}, dam
Baby Gift by Inca. She is working strong and well and
should be a great mare in her class and if required to will
certainly reduce her record enough to give McKinney
another representative in the 2:10 class.

Mr. Hodges has another green trotter in the bay geldiDg
Prouts by Dexter Prince. He has worked a mile in 2:20
and shown his ability to go much faster. He is of the wear
and tear type of horses and should make a campaigner. He
ehould certainly be dangerous in the green classes.

One of Mr. HodgeB' best animals is the mare Queen K., a
green pacer by Redondo 2:28 (son of Stamboul 2:07£), dam
by Adrian Wilkes. She has worked an easy mile in 2:15,
the last half under a strong pull in 1:06. She will certainly
be heard from as she has race horee quality and is made of
whipcord.

Last but not least of this select coterie is the bay gelding
John B. McCord by Hawthorne, dam by James Madison
2:16}. This fellow is five years old and has been trained bu*1
a few weeks; he has worked a mile in 2:22, coming the last
half very fas', and well within himself, and in a short time
he should, with the promise he now shows, mafte one of the
sensational green horBeB of 1900. He is owned by L. R.
Nichols, of Sacramento, and will probably not start until the
State Fair.

Mr. Hodges has had his horses at the Sacramento track
for some months but is now at Santa Rosa, where he will
begin his battles down the home stretch for the many big
purses hung up on the California Circuit this year.

Miss Logan 2:06 1-2 and Her Oolts.

Dr. A. W. Boucher's fast pacing mare Miss Logan 2:06J,
has surprised her owner many times by her erratic actions
and willful ways and has now added another to her many
contrary performances. Last year when she was racing on
the Great Western Circuit, Dr. Boucher bred her to the
pacing stallion Colbert 2:08£, a eon of Onward, in the hopeB
that she might act a little better in her races, and because
he thought Colbert was bred about right, and had the proper
conformation and disposition for a sire to mate the mare
with. Up to a short time ago it was not thought MisB Logan
was with foal and Dr. Boucher thought to race her this year.
She went lame and was fired in the shoulder and turned out.
She soon showed that the breeding effort had aot been in
vain, and about two weeks ago dropped a big, handsome
sorrel colt.that is already able to pace like a race horse. Bred
as he is, he ought to be one of the best prospects in America
for a future two minute pacer.

MisB Logan's three year old, which is the only other foa*
she ever had, is alBO a chestnut and is by Harry Gear, a son
of Echo. This fellow is a big strong going pacer and is a
future champion assure as he ib trained and raced and meetB
with no serious accidents. Dr. Boucher has been working
him for the past two months at the San Jose track and he
moves like a piece of clockwork. About six weeks ago he
had an attack of fever that was serioue, but recovered com-
pletely and has been worked for the past three weeks, Last
Saturday the Doctor concluded be would let him step a half
and told the boys at the track that he thought he could send
him the distance pretty close to 1:02. In the trial the colt
stepped the first quarter in 29 seconds and finished the half
in 1:01J, a most wonderful peiformance for a three year old
at any time and still more bo when all the conditions are
considered. This colt haB not been entered anywhere as yet
and will not be raced this year in all probability, but that he

will be as fast or faster than his erratic dam is believed by
-very horseman who has ever Been him at work. Dr.
Boucher has plenty of reasons for his belief that Miss Logan
will be aa celebrated in the breeding ranks as she has been on

he track.

Friday, June 15th was workout day at the Cleveland track
and the California horses were very much in evidence.

John Blue was up behind Coney 2:07;}, and said he acted
more like himself than he has since he started East with him
in 1899, and Keating believes he will yet show his class.
Blue stepped him a last half in 1:05$, the last quarter in 31}
seconds. He then gave him a mile in 2:17, last half in 1:06,
and last quarter in 31 seconds. The next Tuesday Blue
drove him a mite in 2:0S.V, last half in 31 seconds.

Monterey 2:09}, outfooted Cresceus 2:07}, through the
stretch in 32 seconds the last half in 15 seconds, but was
beaten soon after by Senator K. in a mile in 2:18.

The American Sportsman says Burt Shank worked several
of the Butler horBes, Miss Kate by Direct showing a quarter
in 33.'. seconds, and Gaytou going a very smooth quarter in
32 seconds.

The Direct — Bon Bon colt has at last been given a name.
Mr. Griffith instructing Keating to enter him as Bonnie
Direct. He paced a mile in 2:11.

One of the best three year olds that has ever been seen on
the Cleveland track at thiB time of the year is the East View
Farm's black colt Cole Direct by Direct, dam by Alcantara,
and as he is in the Horse Review's Stake, to be trotted a1
Buffalo in August, and in the Kentucky Futurity, an eye
should be kept on him. He improves with every workout,
and on Tuesday stepped a mile in 2:24}, last half in 1:11, and
last quarter iu 34} seconds.

The pacing filly Mary Kelly 2:26£ by Direct, dam by
Dexter Prince, stepped a half in 1:07 for George Saunders
on Tuesday.

No horse in Kea ting's stable gives him more pleasure than
little Temper, although she baa been in his stable only a
week. On Tuesday he drove her a mile in 2:17 and in all
her work she never makes a break for him. He says Temper
acts more like Dione than any other trotter he has driven.

John Dickerson arrived at the Cleveland track on Tues-
day with Mr. McCarty's Parkaway Farm stable of Goshen'
N. Y. He has ten head including Joe Patchen 2:01}, Fred
Kohl 2:07| and the pacer Toboggan 2:08}. Joe Patchen ia
in the condition of his life, according to Dickerson, but he
has not been driven any very fast miles. The black horse
will make his first start at Lima on July 4th against John
R Gentry. Andrews, who has been a mile in 2:12 with the
last named, has also left Goshen for Lima.

There are 215 horses in training at the Cleveland track,
and more 2:10 horses than were ever in training on one mile
track. The list consists of Star Pointer 1:59}, Joe Patchen
2:04}, Anaconda 2:03}, Klatawah 2:05£, Coney 2:07|; Exploic
2:08}, Toboggan 2:08}, and the trotters Azote 2:04$, Cresceus
2:07}, Fied Kohl 2:0? J, John Nolan 2:08, Gayton 2:09}
Monterey 2:09} and Mattie Patterson 2:09}. This makes a
total of fourteen, and with Temper 2:09$ to wagon there are
fifteen.

History "Will Be Made

The season of 1900 indicates a volume of trotting unpre.
cedented in the history of the American turf. The horses
are now coming to the wire and the starter's gong is heard
from the judges' stand. The season of 1399 wound up with
a number of new 2:30 performere that eclipsed that of any
other year, and in the 2:20, 2:15 and 2.10 lists the new Dames
that appear demonstrate what progressive strides have been
made in the development of light harness horses. It has
been beyond the wildest dreams of the most optimistic and
enthusiastic horsemen. Few there were in Flora Temple's
time that dreamed of a 2:10 class. It is true that three and
three-quarter seconds still stand between the trotter and the
two minute mark, but it is not so sure that the space will not
soon be bridged. The unexpected is liable to happen in the
trotting arena at any time. A record of 2:30 or better was
considered a great achievement when those figures were
accepted as the standard by which the claims to fame by
individual performers and to reputation by their sires should
be regulated. At the present day an owner would hardly
start out with a horse that could not do better than 2:30.

The long list of trotters and pacers that have gone low
dov.n in the teens is indicative of the progress made in a
quarter of a century. There is no industry in the United
StateB more distinctly American or more progressive than
the business of breeding and developing the trotting horse.
The excellence of the American trotter both to sulky and to
wagon has be = n demonstrated in nearly every civiliied couotry
of the globe. The race track has been a severe training
school says one, and its place to-day in the estimation of all
horsemen is far different from the one it occupied twenty
years ago. At that time horses were tried on the road first,
and if found eligible were graduated to the race track. Now-
adays the youngsters, after receiving their first lesson in
training on the race tracks, and acquiring lor records are
graduated to the highways and become the pet driving
animals of capitalists who desire to have nothing but the
fastest. The improvement of the trotter is keeping pace
with his speed. He is a handsome animal and with his
beauty is combined speed and size. Years of careful breed-
ing have brought about this change. All must acknowledge
the handsome blood-like, game and intelligent horses that
have taken the place of the "rawbones" our fathers used o
drive.

rRecord-Uuloo, Juoe 255h.]

The roadster races yesterday afternoon at Agricultural
Park resulted in victories for Frank Ruhslaller Jr.'s Mon-
roe B. over L. 8. Upson's Kinney, and Frank Wright's Pio
over Harry Bell's PanBy.

No admission fee to the park or stand was charged, and
the crowd was fully aa large aa usually attends the first day
of a State Fair race meeting. There was no pool-box, and
very little betting, but the sport was none the lsss exciting
and thoroughly enjoyable. Everybody understood that both
races were to prove who had the better horses and the ap-
pearance and efforts of the contestants were greeted with
frequent cheers of encouragement.

In the first heat of the race between the Ruhetaller and
Upson horaes, the latter having won the toss took the pole,
but broke at the first turn, giving Monroe B. a decided lead.
He paased the first quarter in 41 seconds, the half in 1:20,
two lengths ahead of Kinney, and the three-quarters in
1:57. Coming into the stretch the horsas were nearly abreast,
and at the seven-eighthB were neck and neck. Upson called
on his horse for a apart, but in vain. Monroe paced steadily
nnder the wira, wiaaiag the hjat by a little over a length in
2;34J.

In the second heat both set out at a rapid clip, Monroe
B. maintaining a slight lead. They reached the quarter in
37 seconds, and 33 seconds later were at the half in 1:10.
Here Kinney, after having been a couple of times on the
edge of breakiog, went up in the air, and when he caught
his feet again he was a dozen hopeless lengths in the rear.
Monroe B. paced in easily in 2:25£, winning the heat and
race.

Frank Wright's Pio took the first heat of his race with
PanBy with apparent ease. He went to the half mile post in
1:12, and came home in 2:27.}. Pansy broke in the middle
of the back stretch, and again at the seven-eighths, where
she made an effort to overhaul her rival.

Thesacond heat was better, Pansy got away a half length
In the lead and held it for three quarters of a mile. She
passed the quarter in 35 seconds, and the half in 1:09.
Immediately after entering the stretch Wright drove Pio up
and sent the mare of! her feet. Pio finished the mile in 2:21
winning the race, and making good his title of "King Pacer
of the Riverside Speedway."

A. W. Bruner acted as starter and judge, to the complete
satisfaction of all concerned.

A Chance for Toggles,

The Gentlemen's Driving Club of Boston ia to offer a per-
petual challenge cup, to cost $1000, for matinee trotters, says
the Boston Globe. This announcement was the feature of
the club's inaugural matinee of the season at Readville,
June 13th.

Competition for the cup will be open to every amateur
driving organization in the world, and must be raced for
annually. It is never to become the property of any organiza-
tion, but ia to be held in trust by the club to which the horse
winning it belongs. The first contest will take place this
year at Readville, probably in August. The various driving
clubs throughout the couotry will be invited to enters its
crack trotter. The race will, of course, be to wagons, and
only amateurs will be allowed to drive. The deed of condi-
tions haB not yet been drawn up, but it can safely be said
that, when it is, an amateur reinsman will be very thor-
oughly defined.

The offering of this cup will give matinee racing a stimulus
that is eure to be of lasting good for the sport, and the mem-
bers of the Boston club are to be congratulated for their
sportsmanship in giving the cup. The races for the cup
will be among the foremost turf fixtures of each year, and
ehould result in a gradual reduction of the wagon record.

If Boston were not so far away we are certain Mrt
Graham E. Babcock, of Coronado, would enter his great
trotter Toggles 2:09} for thiB cup and it may be that the
gentleman will "waive distance" and take the gelding across
the continent and make an effort to secure the cup. Mr.
Babcock would represent the San Diego or the Los Angeles
Club, and with Toggles in good shape he would come very
near capturing the handsome trophy.

Two Old Friends.

Three in Five — Hello Hopple; I see you are ont againi
I thought they had put you on the shelf.

Hopple — I did have to remain in the house part of the
time last year but so many of the Entrance-Money family
stayed away also that the Secretaries concluded they could
not get along without us. 1 eee you are looking quite well
yourself and will make the entire circuit in California this
year.

Three in Five — Yes; they gave me the nomination
unanimously, and simply referred to my past record. It's
pretty hard to down the old boys.

THE CIRCUIT WILL OPEN for the season of 1900
at Santa Rosa on Monday next, and though the entry
Hat for this, the first meeting of the year is not as large
as usaal, the class of horses entered is better than ever
and there is every prospect of one of the greatest weeks
of harness racing ever seen in the State. The program
for the Fourth of July is one that should draw every
admirer of fast trotters and pacers to Santa Rosa and
predictions are fieely made by those most competent to
judge that more fast miles will be made there than hive
ever been Been on a California track in one day's racing
In the 2:11 trot it need surprise no one to see every heat
trotted inside of that time, and a heat or two below 2:10
is more than likely to be witnessed. Zombro 2:11,
Neeretta 2:111, Addison 2:11}, Phoebe Childers 2:12,
Hazel Kinney 2:121 and Dr. Frasse 2:12J will be the
starters and not one of these horses has yet reached the
limit of his speed, and each and every one is confidently
expected to be in the 2:10 list this year. As the Santa
Rosa track is admittedly one of the best and fastest in
the State the prediction that the 2:11 trot at Santa Rosa
will furnish the fastest race of the circuit has a good
foundation. The 2:10 pace will have but four starters,
but everyone is a crackerjack. Clipper 2:09}, a son of
Diablo, has been working so well that a mile in 2:07 is
expected of him, while Little Thorn 2:09} can probably
put in three heats in his record time if asked to on
Wednesday next. These horses have been worked at
Pleasanton all spring and the trainer of each confidently
believes his horse can beat the other in a race. Flora-
cita 2:11J, the fast daughter of Red Cloak, will start in
this race. She has been trained at Santa Ana this year
and the only thing known about her present form out-
side the stable is that she paced a public mile against a
bicycle rider at Santa Ana in May and was beaten about
ten feet in 2:09}. They say she is seconds faster now,
so she should not be overlooked. Jessie C. 2:10} is an
Eastern mare by Alroy and will represent Stice & Maben
of Los Angeles in this race. She worked more than
one heat in 2:10 before being shipped to Santa Rosa and
there is a rumor out that 2:07 or better will be made by
the bor e that beats her to the wire. These two races
alone would furnish a high class program for one day at
any G and Circuit track, but in addition there will be
re events that will be drawing cards. One is a
ween horses owned by members of the Golden

Gate Park Driving Association of this city, in which
ahout eight horses will start. The other is to be an
effort to break the Santa Rosa track trotting record with
Mr. A. B. Spreckels' great trotting mare Dione 2:09}.
Mr. Chas. Jeffries will drive her and if the day is favor-
able he thinks the mare can go around the circle very
close to 2:08. Among the [other features of the week
will be the Breeders Futurity Stake for three year olds.
The trotting division will have six entries and four colts
will contest for the portion set aside for pacers. Sensa-
tional time may be expected in both of these events. In
the 2:23 and 2:40 trotting races, the green horses will
make their first appearance of the year. Among the
horses in this class that have shown speed enough to
warrant their being placed in the "very promising"
division are Wm. Morgan's TJna K. by McKinney, A.
B. Spreckels' Zarina by Dexter Prince, P. W. Hodges'
Atherine by Patron, Nutwood Stock Farm's Bob Inger-
sol by Nutwood Wilkes, H. W. Meek's Janice by Wm.
Harold, and G. W. Ford's Neerbell by Neernnt. Any
one of these trotters is liable to attain a record of 2:15
or better in this race, and there are some of unknown
speed among the others entered that may surprise every-
body when the word is given. There is not a day but
good racing can be seen at Santa Rosa during next week
and those who attend will find it will be good to be there.

WOODLAND'S FAIR and race meeting will be one
of the best ever held in the State, and the horBeman
who does not make a few entries in the purses to close
next Monday, July 2d, will be regretting it before the
week is over. There are six trotting and four pacing
purses to close Monday and for each a generous purse is
offered. The classes and the purses are fully set forth
in our advertising columns, to which we refer our read-
ers. Woodland's fair has long been recognized as one
of the very best given by the district associations. In
the first place, Woodland is a most charming town to
visit. Its people are whole souled and generous, and
seem to vie with one another to make strangers feel at
home, while the officers of the fair association spare no
effort to see that all exhibitors and visitors to the meet-
ing are entertained in a royal manner and their wants
attended to. The Woodland race track is as good as
any on the Coast. It is safe and fast and the box stalls
for the horses are large and well appointed. The water
is excellent and no better hay can be found than is fur-
nished by the association. As Woodland's meeting
comes off during the week just prior to the State Fair,
records made there will not be a bar to any of the Sac-
ramento races, as the entries [for the latter will have
closed before that date. In addition to the racing pro-
gram there will be an exhibit of live stock and farm
products at Woodland that will be a credit to the dis-
trict. The premium list just issued shows that $2750
has been set aside for premiums for stock, etc., and those
who are engaged in breeding fine horses, cattle sheep
and hogs should exhibit there, as Yolo county is one of
the beat markets on the Coast for stock of all kinds. If
there is anything you want to know about the Woodland
Fair, a letter of inquiry ^addressed to Secretary C. F.
Thomas will bring a prompt reply in regard t» the same.
The Woodland Agricultural Society invites everybody
to come to its fair this year and promises horsemen that
those making entries will have every attention shown
them and the very best of accommodations furnished
their horses. Make your entries Monday next, July 2d.

THE RESPONSIBILITY for the success of harness
racing this year in California now rests with the owners
and drivers of the horses, and the men who judge the
races. Owners and drivers particularly have a very
grave responsibility on their shoulders. The racing to
be successful must be honest and fair. There must be
an effort made to win every race started in or the horse
had better be left in ths barn. The day when combina-
tions could be made between a few owners or drivers to
job a race and swindle the public has passed. The
public has been educated in the racing business and will
not stand for any crooked work. The horse that has
been held and kept from getting a record no longer sells
for a big price at the Eastern sales. The horse whose
record is the best by the Year Book brings the highest
figure. Horses are now educated in races, and graduate
from the race track to positions as speedway champions.
The old story that "this fellow can trot in 2:10, bat I
did not want to mark him," sells no horses these days,
and the old idea that a good horse is worth more without
a record than with one has been exploded. The list of
horses that were laid np and held back for "a killing"
would fill a volume bigger than the last Year Book and

few of them ever Bold for as much money as the puree
they were laid up for and then failed to win. California,
like every other State, has its contingent of horsemen
who are broke because they were too cute to win with
their horses when they could. Let there be an effort
this year among those who have horses on the circuit to
win as often as possible; to assist the starter in getting
their horses away in good shape and to do nothing that
will bring harness racing into disrepute. The judges
also should realize the dignity of their office and make
an earnest effort to sustain it. This does not mean that
they should look wise and see nothing, bnt that they
should discharge the duties of the office with as much
ability as they can command, and endeavor to see that
the rules are implicitly obeyed by each and every par-
ticipant in the races. If they will see that every in-
fraction of the rules is punished, and require proof of
fraud before conviction, they will do their duty and
that is all that can be asked of any man.

NO BOOKMAKING will be permitted at the Pacific
Coast Trotting Horse Breeders Association's Santa Rosa
meeting, but all wagering on results of the races or
heats will be done ty the auction pool and pari mutuel
systems. The patrons and friends of that time honored
American sport, harness racing, should show by their
attendance at this meeting that they appreciate the
efforts of the Breeders Association in thus restoring the
old system and doing away with the modern evil of
syndicate bookmaking, which in California has done the
harness horse industry so much harm. The change
from booka to auction pools means a clear loss of $500
to the "privilege" account of the Breeders meeting, but
the Board of Directors, recognizing the fact that book-
making is an enemy to honest sport, boldly took the
position that it must not be permitted at its annual
racing, even though the financial success of the meet-
ing was endangered by the change. While at least five
hundred dollars lea3 haa been received than would have
been paid had books been permitted, we do not believe
the association will find itself the loser thereby. We
believe the gate receipts will be increased enough to
more than make up the loss, and we are certain the
moral tone of the racing, and the better contests that
will result, will fully compensate for the loss in the
amount of the bid for the betting privilege. Since it
was announced that the betting would be by auction
pools and mutuals there have been heard expressions of
commendation on all sides, and those who visit Santa
Rosa may expect to see harness racing assume some-
thing of its former prestige in California.

Answers to Correspondents.

J. T. Donaiesok, Bradley, Cal.— We do not fiod Lo Lo
registered in the American 8tnd Book. Write to the Jockey
Club, 173 Fifth AveDue, New York, stating breeding of your
foal as far as yon know and the Secretary will inform yon
whether it can be registered.

G. R. Rkdwine, Covelo, Cal.— The roles for laying ont a
half mile track are as follows : Draw two parallel lines 600
feet long and 452 feet and 5 inches apart. Half way be-
tween tbe extreme ends of the parallel lines drive a stake;
then make a carve with the wire pntting down a stake
as often as a fence post is needed. When this operation
is finished at both ends of the 600-foot parallel lines the track
is laid ont. The io6ide fence will rest exactly on the line
drawn from the fence. The tumB should be thrown up an
inch, or an inch and an eighth to the foot. The stretches
may be anywhere from 45 to 60 feet wide.

W. M. Mtjbby, Sacramento — We cannot find that the
mare you refer to was named. She is in Volume 7 of the
American Stud Book on page 227 under her dam Deroch-
mont, as a chestnut filly, foaled 1895, by Isaac Murphy,
therefore a fall sister to Kowalsky. Derochmont is by Oat-
cast, first dam by Bullion, second dam Simplicity by imp.
Eclipse.

J. Mxlton Smith, Grass Valley— The stallion Engineer,
as far as the Tear Book shows, is by Buccaneer, and his
record is 2:311. In 1886 he was shown at the California
Btate Fair by E. P. Smith of Taylorville, California, and
the name of his dam is given as Verona, though her pedigree

is not given.

Valuable Paintings Burned.

A fire occurred last Wednesday night at the stock farm
of Senator R. Porter Ashe near Glen Ellen, resulting in the
loss of tbe choice collection of oil paintings of his famous
horses, together with the medals, caps, etc., they had won,
and various works of art. The buildings were not valuable,
but the loss in the art gallery alone is estimated by Senator
Ashe at not less than $10,000.

Paced a Fast Mile.

Violin, the daughter of Alex Button and Viola, now owned
by Prince David of Honolulu, worked a wonderfully fast mile
on the Kapiolani track recently. The Hawaiian Advertiser
records the event as follows :

Violin went an opening heat in 2:39} and then a second in
2:19 4-5. When Mr. Qainn brought her oat for her third
mile, bat few of the onlookers noticed that he took the mare
to the head of the stretch and commenced his mile at the
eighth pole before the wire. Nearly every watch was started
as Violin passed the wire and when he finally checked her at
what seemed to be seven-eighths of a mile, the railbirds were
sorely puzzled.

Those who clocked her at starting from the wire had the
first eighth in 16, the quarter in 34, three-eighths in 52, the
half in 1:08}, five-eighths in 1:24, and three-quarters in 1:42,
Allowing thirty seconds for the fioa) quarter, the time for
the mile would have been 2:12.

Competent watch-holders, however, who caught the actual
start, say the distance was covered in from 2:07} to 2:09 and
Violin's driver declares he went round in 2:07}.

There is no doubt tbat this is the fastest mile ever stepped
in the Islands and it is likely to be a long time before a
similar performance is witnessed.

The incident is rendered all the more remarkabla by the
fact that Violin has only been in training six weeks. With
another months work and a first-class track it is the opinion
of many who iaw Saturday's exhibition that the mare should
go a mile as good as 2:05.

BosaLMA trotted a quarter in 30 seconds at Hartford last
week.

Star o» Hanoyeb, chestnut colt, 3, by Hanover, dam
imp. Star Actress, ran five furlongs on the track at Man-
chester, England, on June 7th, in 58 4-5 seconds, which is a
new track record for that course. The American record for
the distance Is 661 seconds for the straight track at Morris
Park and 59 seconds on the track of the California Jockey
Club at San Francisco. Btar of Hanover is owned by Mr. J.
S. Curtis, who also owns his dam.

An Eastern horseman who has watched the Kentucky
candidates pretty closely says :

"The announcement of the June payments in the three
year old trotting Futurity of the Lexington Association
means a great deal to horsemen and breeders, as tbat event ie
undoubtedly the star race of the year for colt trotters and
has generally brought together the best ones of the Beason.

The list of nominations for 1900 is a long one, and while
of course there are many in the lot that did not start as two
year olds, and on whom, consequently, no line can be had
there are several that performed well in 1899. Unfortun-
ately the fastest two year old of 18»9, Endow 2:14}, will not
appear this season, it having been decided to retire the Cecil-
ian gelding for at least two seasons, Marvin not thinking that
a three or four year old bas much chance in the 2:10 class
against aged horses, and the colt is not in the Futurity or
other stakes.

"Next to Endow in point of performance comes the hand-
some filly Fereno 2:17, winner of two good races at Louisville
and Lexington last fall. Fereno was bred at the Walont
Hall Farm of Mr, L. B. Harkness, a Standard Oil man near
Lexington, and her aire is a brother of the champion wagon
pacer Bumps, that Mr. C. K. G. Billings owned. Fereno is
a beautifully gaited filly, a handsome animal at all poiote
and was brought to her first race with perfect manners by Ed
Benyon, a young man who was for Borne years assistant to
Orrin Hickok, than whom a better teacher in the art and
mystery of fitting and driving trotters could not be found.

"I saw Fereno take her 2:17 mark in the last heat of a
winning race at Lexington, and she impressed me as having
great possibilities. Second to her was Tbe Tramp, a great.
overgrown, sluggish colt, on whom Joe Thayer bad worn
out a whip without effect, but in spite of all tbe whipping
and other noises incident to a race, Fereno never offered to
break, and, although she won easily at the finiBh, there was a
time when the battle was a real one, and I fancied that Ben'
yon was asking her for all the speed she had. On public
form she is certainly the best of the Futurity lot, which now
numbers forty-Beven, the Jane payment having been made on
that many.

"The Tramp, who was second — bat not a good one — to
Fereno in 2:17, is owned by Plant, the Georgia millionaire,
who bought him last summer from Joe Thayer for $10,000.
He is a roan in color, like most of the Jay Bird family, and
has speed enough as a two year old to trot in 2:20, but some-
how he does not look or act like tbe real article when viewed
from a race horse standpoint. He is coarse and clumsy, has
no "gimp," and in general is not impressive. Roy Miller
who will drive him this season, is one of the best of the
young school of drivers, and he has given The Tramp a
careful wintering at Selma, Ala., so that with plenty of
strength to carry his speed tbe colt may improve, and if he
does the Wilkes blood ought to tell.

"Were the Directum filly Nirvana among tbe entries I
should certainly pick her to be in the money, as she was
second to Endow in 2:14} (quite a bit back, however), and
had a strong way of going that reminded one of her sire.
With her out I am inclined to favor one that tbe public has
practically not heard of as likely to finish in the front rank
if she starts. That one is the filly Iva Dee.

"She started a few times last year, and was generally, if
not always, distanced, and yet to those who knew how little
education had been given ber the speed shown by this filly
was little short of marvelous. Douglas Thomas broke Iva
Dee, and when she came to Louisville last fall a mile in 2:25
was about her limit. Two weeks later, at Lexington, George
West drove her in 2:18} oat in the middle of the track.

"She was distanced in her second race at Lexington, but
that same afternoon Thomas started to drive her a good
mile. She was at the half mile pole in 1:08, kept up the clip
to the three-quarters, and had not a break near the wire
caused her to be pulled up, I believe she would have gone
close to 2:15. At all events, she showed enough to convince
me that if she trains this year it will take about the best of
her age to beat ber.

"But their are others in the Futurity that showed well
last season — that iB, above the average for two year old
trotters. Indian Jim and The Montana, a pair bred by
Marcus Daly and sold by him at auction last winter, are in
this class. Mr. Djly himself names Lady Thisbe by Prodi-
gal and out of Lady Wilton 2:11}."

Oakland Babon 2:09} will not be seen at the races this

summer.

The following from a Detroit paper, goes to show that
John Kelly is doing well with the Maclareo stable : "The
track record for the season was broken on Wednesday, the
thirteenth, when John Kelly, behind Alexander Maclaren's
fast trotting mare Lucy Carr 2:14}, by Empire Wilkes, rode
a mile in 2:14}. .The mare was accompanied by Sidney
Pointer 2:14}, the son of Star Poi.iler, with Kelly's assistant,
Geo. Woflatt up. He trailed behind until the home stretch
was reached, when he moved up and finished with her. He

Santa Rosa Deit week.

Auction and pari mntnels only.

These will be good fields in every race.

Mans: entries close Monday. See advertisements.

Spend your Fourth at Santa Rosa and yen will Fee some
excellent sport.

Henby Titee talks of trying Arion 2:07|, and Peter the
Great 2:07}, to pole.

Peko trotted the last quarter of a heat she won at Cleve-
land Jane 16:h in 3H seconds.

Myrtle 2:13i, owned by Mr. Lnmsden of Santa Rosa,
was bred to Direct 2:05i last week.

Bo rat-ma trotted a quarter in 30 seconds at Hartford two
weeks ago, and is ready right now to redace his record.

Me Ketcham. the owner of Cresceus 2:07} by Robert Mc-
Gregor, refused $35,000 for the stallion ten days ago.

It is said that The Abbot 2:06} will not have an oppor-
tunity to d j much class racing this season.

Take a day off and go lo Santa Rosb on the Fourth of
July. The railroad fare will only be a $1.50 for the round
trip.

The first original nomination of the big stallion race to
drop out is Poindexter. It is announced that he will not be
trained this season.

All horse breeders in California should make as good an
exhibit as possible at the big fair to be given at Tanforan in
September and October.

Neebetta's fastest mile this year, prior to being shipped
to Santa Rosa, was in 2:17. She will be a starter in the 2:11
trot on the Fourth of July,

O. A. Jones and A. J. Welsh, the owners of the Charter
Oak track at Hartford, have teased the Empire City track
near Yojkers. They have arranged for a Grand Circuit
meeting ac the Empire City track for the second week of
September, following the closing of the meeting at the
Charter Oak track.

Don't miss witnessing the 2:11 trot at Santa Rosa on the
Fourth of July. The six horses that will start are a grai d
lot and are so evenly matched that a close and exciting race
is certain. The fare to Santa Rosa on that day from all
points on the California and Northwestern Railway will be
only half the usual rate.

Judge Vandeehtjest has a speedy four year old pacing
nil; now being trained by James Dwain at the Salinas race
track. She is named Diablita, and is by Diablo 2:09}, out
of a mare by Junio 2:22, Becond dam by Carr's Mambrino
1789. She is going miles close to 2:20, bat will be held out
for next year's green claBseB. — Salinas Journal.

Our Lucky and Thompson split up a race at Denver last
Saturday and trotted five heats in from 2:17 to 2:17£, about
as evenly a rated race as has been trotted in many a day.
Our Lucky was evidently laid up the first and second heats,
but when be came out for the third the bookmakers were
wise and made him the favorite at very short odds.

ZoiiBBO 2:11 was a little indisposed on his trip from Los
Angeles to Santa Rosa, but is now all right and will start
in the 2:11 class trot on July 4th.

Don't forget that on Monday next, July 2d, entries cloBe
for the meetings at Colusa, Willows, Red Bluff, Chico,
Marysville, Woodland and Oakland.

Entry blanks for all the meetings on the circuit whose
entries close next Monday, July 2d, can be had by applying
to Secretary Kelley at the Santa Rosa track.

Don't fail to enter your horse all around the circuit.
There are many chances to win good purses if you enter in
ihem, bat you can't get money b? Btaying out.

Secretary and Manageb Edwin F. Smith is very busy
these davs arranging the plans for the big fair at Tanforan.
It will be a novel and a splendid exposition.

Hosses must be named next Monday in those nomination
purBes at the meetings on the circuit from Napa to Wood-
land, Don't forget to send your horse's name in.

Dictatus 2:19} will make the season of 1901 at Dixon in
Solano county and willl then be taken to Honolulu for a
couple of years if his owner's present intentions are carried
out.

Etjla. Mac 2.-27J, the three year old filly by McKinney,
is one of tbe warmest babies in California this year. She
trotted the last half of a workoDt mile in 1:04} at Santa
Rosa last week.

The Grand Circuit opens at Terra Haute next Monday
and promises to be one of the most successful in years.
Heating's string will probably not start until the second
week, when the Peoria meeting will be held.

Chas. Jeffeies will drive A. B. Spreckels' mare Dione
2:09} against the track trotting record of 2:11} at Santa Rosa
on the Fourth of July, and if the day is a favorable one Mr.
Jeffries believes she can lower her own mark.

The prominent Cleveland horseman, T. C. Willard, stated
recently that it is worth $150 to any man to own a colt sired
by any one ol William's stillions, and the reason is that Mr.
Williams is the best advertiser in the business.

Make the California circuit a goad one by entering all
down the line. If the district associations do not receive
good entry lists this year they will not be very apt to hang
up any very large purses for harness horses in 1901.

John F. Boyd, J. C. Kirkpatrick and Major J. L. Rath-
bone are the committee on trottiog exhibits for the San
Francisco and San Mateo Agricultural Association. The
meeting will open September 24ih and last two weeks.

Mb. A. B. Speeckels, owner of the handsome little mare
Dione 2:19}, will start her at Santa Rosa against the track
trotting record which is 2:11}, now held by Addison, or will
match her to trot there against any horse in California.

The race in which tbe members of the Golden Gate Park
Driving Club of this city will compete at Santa Rosa on the
Fourth of July will be for blood. Never baa there been
more rivalry over winning a race than tbere is over this
one, and every man in the race will be driving to win every
heat.

Db. G. W. Kleiseb, of this city, has sold his stillion
Alta Vela 2:19f , by Electioneer, to Mr. G. Hines,also of this
city. Mr. Hines has placed him in the hands of J. M.
Nelson who will race the horse throueh the circuit. Alta
Vela was worked three heats better than 2:20 at the Alameda
track last week, the fastest heat being close to 2:15.

Ma. Martin Caetee, proprietor of the Nutwood Park
Stock Farm, states that although the season is getting late
he is still receiving letters from people who want to breed
mares to Nutwood Wilkes. Four or five well bred mareB
were received at the farm last week, among them the Abbolsford
mare She 2:12£, who haB a foal at foot by McKinney 2:11}.

Mb. Edgar Stone, of Oakland who purchased Fanadma
2:19}, from the Dutard Estate recently has made another in-
vestment In fast horse flesh. He has bought from Chas.
Griffith the horse Jib Albert 2:17 ^ and is using him as a pole
horse with Fanadma. They trot well together and there are
few teams driven in Alameda county that can keep in eight
of them on the road.

Climax, a four year old daughter of Chas. Derby, is
booked for a record of 2:20 or better this year. She was sold
a year ago in one of Oskwood Park Stock Farm's consign-
ments. At Mineola in New York State June 20th, Climax
won the four year old pace lengths in the lead of the others
in every heat and was pulled up each time to prevent her
getting a mark better than 2:30. She is said to be fast.

Among the starters in the 2:14 and faster pacing classes
this year will be H. W. Meek's stallion Wm. Harold 2:13},
son of Sidney and Cricket 2:10 by Steinway. William Har-
old is a very fast horse, but has the reputation of not liking
a long race or many heats. Barney Simpson has been giv-
ing him some strong workouts this year and thinks he will
be able to last longer in hie races than he has heretofore
shown an ability to do.

Db. Barlow J. Smith, an old resident of this StBtci
died at his home in San Francisco last Monday, aged 73
years. Dr. Smith brought to this state and owned for many
years the stallion Naubuc, sire of the dam of Directly 2:03},
and was himself a breeder of horses on a small scale. He
was best known to horsemen through his invention of Vita
Oil, a remedy very extensively used throughout the Pacific
Coast. He was a native of Connecticut.

The correspondent of an Eastern paper states that
Katrinka G,, the four year old trotting sister of Kiaawah
2:05£, is "full of trot, eager to do all she can, and is con-
fidently looked upon as an agent whereby her dam will be-
come a noted broodmare." As Katie G., her dam is already
quite "noted" bb the dam of H. R, Covey 2:25, Chas. Derby
2:20, Steineer 2:29}, Sunlight 2:25, and Klatawah 2:05}, tbe
correspondent must look upon Katrinka G. ae a coming
wonder.

Millabd Sanders went to Santa Rosa yesterday and will
attend the Breeders meeting there. He has no string of
horses but is on the lookout for a few good ones that he can
purchase so as to make a little money on. Mr. Sanders says
he will pay a fair price for a fair horse but can't afford to
buy the sort that will not improve in speed or that he cannot
sell at a profit commensurate with the time and labor he puts
on them. ThoBe who have good prospects for sale Bhould
communicate with Mr. Sanders.

There is a stallion still at service in the stud at Schoharie
county, New York, that iB thirty-four years old, according
to a correspondent of "The Country Gentleman." The
horse hus been in tbe stud since be was three years old, and
has always been kept in one stable during that time. There
are many of his get in the country that are twenty years oM
and upwards. His sire was of Clay blood and his dam a
common mare of unknown breeding. Last year he served
nine mares and six colts resulted.

Clipper 2:09$ by Diablo, who made the fastest mile made
over the Santa Rosa track last year is acting as though he
could knock a few seconds of! that mark this year. It is
probable that W. G. Durfee will handle the reins over him
this season.

Hcbinger Bros have sold John Nolan 2:0S. for $10,000
the buyer being Mr. O. G. Kent, of Cleveland, Ohio, who
wants tbe horse to drive in tbe matinee races of the Gentle-
men's Driving Clob. He will leave him in Willis Foole's
hands, however, who will campaign him.

Harry F. Patbick, the genial Secretary of the Golden
Gate Part Driving Association, and known as one of the
best amateur driverB in this city, will drive Mr. Chas. New-
man's pole team, Ruby M. 2:124 and Bessie Rankin 2:16}, an
exhibition mile at the Santa Rosa meeting. Jt is the in-
tention of Mr. Newman to have Mr. Patrick drive these
mares at either tbe State F-.ir or Tanforan a mile this year
against the Coast record for a pacing team which is now held
by Tom Ryder and Belle Button, who won a team race at
Oakland in 1892 in 2:16*.

Doba Doe 2:22', the handsome little mare by Don
Lowell that started but twice last year and made such a good
showing:, is showing much improvement this year and at
Santa Rosa the other day Mr McAlpine, her trainer, drove
her three heats better than 2:18. Dora Doe wonld attract
attention anywhere by ber good looks and has a very hand-
some mane and tail and a nice head. She is sound as a new
dollar and can be driven slow or fast by a lady. If she were
in New York she would be snapped up for a speedway per*
former. Many good judges think 2:10 within her reach
this year.

The list of trotting bred foals at Bitter Root 8tock Farm
numbers fifty-eieht this year. Thirtyare by Prodigal, 6fteen
by Ponce de Leon, ten by Milroi, and one each by Wilton
Bow Bells and Clay King. The first foal lo arrive waB a bay
filly by Prodigal, dam Laura B. which was foaled January
22d, and the last to arrive was a filly by Ponee de Leon out
of Refulgence which did not put in an appearance until
June 2d.

Clarence Hill, who is training a small string of horses
for Mr. Geo. Y. Bollinger of San Jose, passed through the
city last Tuesday on his way to Napa, where he has entries
in a couple of races. Mr. Hill says the most wonderful per-
formance in the way of speed he has seen this year was a
half mile in 1:01| made at the San Jose track last Saturday
by Dr. Boucher's three year old pacing colt by Harry Gear,
dam by Miss Logan 2:06£.

The plan to race Joe Patchen and Searchlight in a series,
in company with Tommy Britton and Cresceus, which was
Bpoken of earlier in the season, has fallen through, and the
old time rivals Patchen and Gentry, will again try their
speed against each other, and the character of the gentlemen
who own them is a guarantee that there will be no hippo-
droming, but that ia every race the best horse will win.
Tbey will begin the season at Lima, Ohio, July 4tb; from
there go to Boston, AuguBt 1st; Goshen, AugUBt 22d; Mil-
waukee, September 12th; Allentown, September 19th, and
Springfield, 111., September 28lh.

Though J. Malcolm Forbes' young trotting sire Arion
2:07J has not as yet sired a pacer with a fast record, the in-
dications are that he will be credited with two sidewheelers
in the 2:10 list before the present season ends. The best
green pacer about New York is Ayrian by Arion, Paschal
Cherrier having driven him a mile in 2:13} a few days ago
at Empire City Park. The most promising young pacer in
training at Boston ihis season is Lemuel Hitchcock's four
year old San Telmo by Arion, out of the noted trotting mare
Houri 2:17 by Onward 2:25}. Trainer Wall drove the
youngater over the Readville course laBt week a mile in 2:18,
with the last eighth in 0:15J — a 2:04 clip.

These is a story that goes with Queenie, the little gray
pacing mare which J. M. NelBon is training. She was sold
at auction in this city last spring and given in the catalogue
as being foaled in 1894 and sired by Dexter Bradford. As
Dexter Bradford was foaled in 1866, who therefore must
have been 27 years old when Qaeenie was begotten. She was
brought to this State it is said by Monroe Salisbury, who pur-
chased her in Tennessee or Kentucky after seeing her work a
fast mile and was sold at his dispersal Bale and purchased
by Geo. Fox of Clement. It is alBO stated in the "story" that
Mr. Salisbury always refused to give the gray mare's pedigree,
and it is also added that a groom who knew her Bays she is
of Hal blood. However bred, Bhe can pace pretty fast, though
it is not probable that she will ever break a world's record.

In coming from California in November the bay filly
Nanette N. by Advertiser 2:15}, out of Lady Nutwood by
Nutwood, met with an accident, and was not offered nnder
the hammer. 8he was sold privately to Mr. E. A. Hyde of
Hardford, who writes: "She has recovered fully and is abso-
lutely sound. She is high class in every respect, heing hand-
some and good gaited; in fact, one of the cleanest cut things
you ever 6aw. I think she will make one of the best trotters
I have ever trained. I shall go easy with her this summer,
but will drive her late this fall in 2:19 or 2:20, and keep her
over for stake prospects " Nanette N. is three years old and
her injury has retarded her early development. She is the
sister of Miss Lillian May, one of the best trotters of her age
in Europe. The Advertisers improve with age and training.

In the Bplendidly appointed stables of the Hon. Frank
Jones at Maplewood Farm, New Hampshire, Manager Dan
Mahaney and Trainer Tom Marsh are getting one of the best
lot of trotters ready for the races that will be seen under one
management on the circuit this year. This stable has six
horses out last year and they brought borne $37,203, a pretty
fair Bum for one string to win. Tbere are a number of Cali-
fornia horses in the string this year. Katrinka G., a tour
year old sister to Klatawah 2:05£, is a pure gaited trotter and
has been a mile in 2:19 already. Who Is It 2:10}, son of
Nutwood Wilkes is looking and acting better than ever. A
mile in 2:16 is the fastest he had been driven up to last week.
Idolita 2:12, the heaviest money winner of 1898, has been
bred to a few mares, but is now in training and is all right.
Betonica 2:10$, one of the pacing disappointments, is in the
stud and will not be trained again in all probability.
Juntorio and Carrie Caswell, both Palo Altc bred and by
Altivo 2:1$;, are in fine shape after a run in pasture all last
season. Eleta by Dexter Prince, another of the Palo Alto
youngsters is one of the most promising fillies ever sired by
the son of Kentucky Prince. There are a number of
other horses in training at Maplewood, among them King-
mond 2:09 who did not win the M. & M. last year but was
the best horse in the race. This string will make its first
appearance for the year at Sangus this week.

Mb. W. F. Fisheb, one of Napa county's capitalists and
a Director of tbe Napa Agricultural Society, has been in the
city this week. Mr. Fisher says the prospects for an ex-
cellent meeting at Napa are very bright, and that the finan-
cial success of the same is already assured. The writer has
a very distinct recollection of "Bill" Fisher back in the
early sixties, before the days of the railroad between Napa
and Calistoga. Mr. P'isher then handled the ribbons over a
team of six that drew a handsome Concord coach from the
county seat to the at that time most fashionable watering place
in California, the Calistoga Hot-fipriDgs, and during the
summer season seats on this popular coach had to be engaged
days in advance, None of California's celebrated Jehus,
from Hank Monk to Clark Foss, could handle six horses
more gracefully or drive them more carefully than W. F.
Fisher. He retired from the box years ago, however, and
devoting himself (o business enterprises has amassed a com-
fortable fortune and is one of the most highly respected citi-
zens of the county in which he lives. Asoneof the Directors
of the District Fair he will act as starter for the harness
races during the coming meeting at Napa, and every driver
can rest assured that be will be given a fair start if possible
and that while Mr. Fisher is one of the most affable gentle-
men in the world, he is constitutionally opposed to £.11 rac-
ing that is not on the square and will insist that no other
kind be allowed at the meeting.

The saddle horse, after a period of comparative retire-
ment from the throne of sentiment which horsey folks are
ever wont to rear up under their especially favorsd equine
specimen of the time being, whether it be trotter, high
stepper, pacer or other type of harness horse, has been
restored to favor in the East and is again to the front of all
ammals which in the past decade supplanted it. From ail
over the country buyers are flocking to the New York mar-
ket, looking for tbe beBt specimens that can be secured of this
old time favorite, which reigned when mud roads were the
rule and Dr McAdams' principle of road making had not
been so widely applied as it is to-day.

Bids are wanted for the piivileges of the Vallejo meeting

The Tidal Stakes were won at Sheepshead Bay on June
26th by McMeekin, son of Foneo and Daisy Rose by imp.
Esher. The mile was run in 1:40J. David Garrick was
second and Mesmerist third.

The attraction at Washington Park last Wednesday was
the meeting between Advance Guard and Sam Phillips in a
handicap at a mile and a sixteenth. It was claimed the
heavy track beat both of these colts in the Derby. The track
was fast and the youngsters had a battle royal. Brulare
made the pace to the stretch, then 8am Phillips went to the
front and looked like a sure winner at the eighth post, but
Viititoe brought Advance Guard up next to the rail and
although Burns made the hole just as small as he dared
Advance Guard squeezed through and in a terrific drive won
by a head. The race appears to indicate that the colts are
about evenly matched up to a mile and a sixteenth, but that
Advance Guard is the better at a farther distance.

8ly ran another good race at Chicago last Tuesday. 8he
carried 119 pounds, and ran six furlongs in 1:13J, beating
Pat Dunne's Reminder and the much vaunted Yellowtaii.
The latter failed to show, while Reminder was third. Algar-
eta was second.

The 8heepshead Bay Handicap was run last Saturday and
was won by Greyfeld, an eight to one shot. Bendoran made
all the running and led to within fifty yards of the wire
where Greyfeld caught and passed him. Imp was third,
three lengths back of Bendoran.

Miss Bennett beat Sofala easily at Washington Park,
Chicago, last Tuesday in theLake-ide 8takes at five furlongs.
Sofala was the favorite, but failed to land inside the money!
Miss Bennett was first, Lady Schorr second and Fanny
Wood third. The time was 1:02.

■ ■■■ ' According to those who were eye witnesses

Perry Belmont has had some practical experience as to
the necessity of more weight-for-ages rsces. A really high
class horse like Ethelbert is a luxury instead of a money-
maker, and there is no inducement to a man to buy a good
torse if he cannot find races in which to start him, without
carrying a house on his back. Mr. Belmont has given notice
that he will offer the following resolution at the July meet-
ing of the Jockey Club: " Resolved, That all associations
conducting race meetings under the jurisdiction of the
Jockey Club be requested to eive at least one weight-for-age
race at each meeting, the distances of such races to be at the
option of tbe associations, but not to be less than one mile in
May and June, one and a quarter in July and August, and
one mile and a half, one mile and three-quarters and two
miles in September, October and November."

Hart Gibson, a horse owner who is the employer of
Jockey Michaels tried to thrash Starter Caldwell at Cincin-
nati two weeks since with a cane, but met a most inglorious
defeat. Michaels, for flagrant disobedience at the cost, had
been set down by the starter for all but his stable. That
action on the part of Caldwell enraged Gibson, and meeting
Mr. Caldwell in the lobby of the hotel, he proceeded to
upraid him for his action in no choice terms. Mr. Caldwell
it is said, told the irate owner that he did not want to talk
with him, and moved away, but the horseman went after
him and struck at his head with a light cane which he
carried. The starter warded off the blow, getting the force
of it across his hand, and then retaliated by knocking his

of what had occurred, Gibson was the aggressor.

Benjamin Brush, for fifteen years superintendent of the
Brooklyn Jockey Club race track, died suddenly at his home
in Brooklyn recently of heart disease. He had been slightly
ill for several days from indigestion, but his trouble was not
supposed to be serious until a short time before the end came
Mr. Brush was sixty-five years old. He was a native of
Brooklyn, and in his youth was identified with shipping in-
terests, both as a builder and a master of vessels. He be-
came identified with Philip J. and Michael F. Dwyer the
Brooklyn turfmen, when they constructed and opened' the
Brooklyn Jockey Club's track at Gravesend, and took charge
of the grounds as superintendent. He was also superintend-
ent of the Dwyers' track at Elizabeth, N. J., when it was in
operation. Mr. BruBh was widely known among turfmen
though his only connection with racing was to keep in con-

Sidney Luoaa 'Wins the American Derby.

Thirty thousand people went to Washington Park, Chicagoi
last Saturday, June 23d to see the twelfth renewal of the
American Derby and probably twentyfive thousand out or
that immense throng expacted to see Lieutenant Gibson win
but he was ingloriously defeated by the despised outside,
Sidney Lucas, a son of Topgallant that was 20 to 1 in the
betting and Ecarcely played at all. The Derby was notable
for two things— the defeat of Lieutenant Gibson, one of the
hottest favorites ever sent after the famous purse, and the
poor field that ran against him. Every Chicago man bet on
Gibson. He is owned by a member of the Board of Trade.
He had won everything he started for this year, including
the Kentucky Derby, and horeemen began to think he was a
lot better horse than Henry of Navarre ever was. The track
after the soaking of Thursday, was heavy and dead. That
caused all but six of those entered to stay in the barn. The
starters were: Barrack, 122 (McDermott); James, 122
(Mitchell); Advance Guard, 122 (Taral); 8am Phillips, 127
(Burns); Lieutenant Gibson, 129 (Boland) and Sidney Lucas,
122 (Bullman). Neither Advance Guard nor Phillips are
are anywhere near their best form on anything but a fast
track. Gibson and JameB are supposed to be at home in any
sort of going. Barrack is a cheap plater, while Lucas pre.
fers mud.

Even money was laid against Gibson, five against Guard
and Phillips, Barrack was 40, Lucas was 15 and James was
backed from 15 to 6.

When the small field paraded in front of the stand and
clubhouse, Lieutenant Gibson was the recipient of much
adulation. He is a handBome brown colt and looks like a
race horse. Sidney Lucas, the Topgallant coll, looked
drawn and stale. On looks he could not be given a chance.
In all his raceB Gibson has gone out in front and raced his
field off their feet He started to do it to-day, but right with
him was that fast-going colt James. Boland saw he could
not outrun him, so he gathered his horse up to save him
for the end. Passing the stand the favorite led slightly, but
the field was bunched behind him. Away out in the middle
of the track, in the deepest of the going, Taral had Ad-
vance Guard. There was little change up the backstretch.
If there was any advantage Gibson had it here, for he beat
his field to the hard path next the rail. Around the turn
he moved away a bit.

"There he goes ! " shouted the throng. "It's all over."
It was all over with Gibson, for just then Boland began
riding him. He found he had a very tired horse. James
passed him, and then Bullman cut the dispised Sidney Luca
loose, and he romped home a winner by four lengths. James
was second, and Gibson, flailed out to the ounce, third
Phillips was out of it after running well for a mile. The
going cooked him. At one time Advance Guard looked to
have a chance, but the heavy track and Taral's poor riding
put him out of it. Taral had the choice of riding Guard or
Lucas. Fortunately for the winner's owners he chose Guard.
The histories of American Derbys have been the storieB of
defeated favorites, and so it was the same old tale, only this
time the favorite was a hotter one, and he got more decisive
beating than usual.

Sidney Lucas' owners are richer by $9975, the amount of
first money. The owners of second and third horses receive
$2000 and $1000, respectively.

American Derby, one mile and a half— Sidney Lucas, 122
(Bullman), 20 to 1. won; James, 122 (Mitchell), 8 to 5,
second; Lieutenant Gibeon, 119 (Boland), even, third. Time!
2:40}. Sam Phillips, Barrack, Advance Guard also ran.

The May meeting at Vancouver, B. C, had a peculiar
feature. Every horse that raced there was a money winner
Consolation purees were hung up on the last day and every!
one's interest was looked after.

The cash assets of Richard Thompson, owner of Sidney
Lucas, winner of the American Derby, were $9,626.40 the
moment his great colt dashed first under the wire at Wash-
ington Park, Saturday afternoon. Before that event the
turfman had in his pocket $1.25, all that be possessed in the
coin of the realm. The winning of the Derby was no joke
to Dick Thompson. He needed money. His condition be-
foie the race was like that of many people after it — he was
"broke." The odds on Sidoey Lucas were 20 to 1, but
Thompson was not in a position to chance any of his surplus.
In the face of his belief in the ability of his colt to win the
race, he did not have the price to back him even to the ex-
tent of one good bet in the regulation books,

The California Wing Club regular monthly shoot will be

Blue rock enthusiasts will attend the Union Gun Club
shoot at the target traps on the same grounds.

After the regular events for both clubs are concluded visit-
ing sportsmen and club members will indulge in practice
shooting and friendly competition.

A 100 live bird match was arranged during the week to
take place yesterday on the Association grounds at one
o'clock p. m. This race is the leading pigeon shooting
feature that has been put up in this city for more than ten
years past. The principals are C. A. Haight and C. C. Nau-
man, both expert trap shots. The race is for $50 a side, the
loser to pay for the birds, each man to shoot at 100 pigeons
from the thirty-yard mark. The referee was to be chosen
on the grounds. Local shooters have been much interested
in the race, the results of which will be given next week.

Thomas L Lewis, whose portrait appears on thi? page, is
very popular among sportsmen, particularly so among the
members of the Union Gun Club, of which organization he
is the captain. Much of the success attendant upon the
career of the club is due to the executive ability of Mr.
Lewis and his persistent devotion to the interests of his
fellow members.

Mr. Lewis has held a responsible position with the Union
Metallic Cartridge Company for the past eight years and is
well and favorably known to the Bporting goods trade.

During the regular club race of the San Francisco Gun
Club last Sunday at Ingleside thirty dozen pigeons were shot
at, each man shootiDg at twelve birds and standing at the
yard mark designated as his individual handicap distance.
The average of skillful shooting was excellent, the birds be-
ing unusually strong of flight and shifty. Straight scores
were made by Haight, Sweeney and Shields. Many back
scores were shot up, there being but two more shoots before
the final race. Among the individual performances a long
distance second barrel centered on a left out quartering bird
brought Jules Brims a round of applause.

Following the club race a number of six bird sweepstakes
were shot. Out of thirty-three entries, sixteen straights
were made, one straight being on doubles, made by Nauman.
A. M. Shields besides making a straight club score, made
five straight scores in the six bird pool races. The scores

The Marin Oounty Case and the Law of Game
Protection.

The recent decision in the "pump gun" case rendered in
the United States Circuit Court of this city has attracted the
Interested attention of Eastern Sportsmen. Last week we
published an editorial article taken from Forest and Stream
which article has been more than favorably received by
many of our sportsmen who are thoroughly in accord with
the excellent argument offered by that prominent sportsmen's
journal.

We are again indebted to the publication mentioned for
the article which follows. A communication from Joseph
B. Thompson, an eminent member of the New York bar,
published June 23d.

"The editorial comment in the issue of the 16th Inst, on the
decision of Judge E. M. Ross, in the above cbbo, possesses
much interest to sportsmen; and as the decision, if sustained,
would seem to strike at the very foundation of all laws on the
subject of game protectiop, it may not be without interest to
add some observations as they occur to a lawyer on the same
subject. What will be said relates principally to the position
taken by the United States Supreme Court on the questions
discussed by the learned judge; there will be little difficulty in
showing that the decision in question is not only not sustained
by the rulings of the higher court, but that it is in direct op-
position thereto. The court, it would seem, bases its decision
on two grounds, both claimed to arise from the language of
the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution of the United
8tates — i. e., the claim ^relating to "equal protection of the
laws" and the other prohibiting the States to pass any law
depriving any citizen of his propeity without due proces8
of law.

It has been repeatedly held by the United States Supreme
Court that the provisions of the fourteenth amendment were
not designed to interfere with the powers of the State, some-
times termed the police power, to prescribe regulations to
promote health, peace, morals, education and good order of
the people. Barbier vs. Connelly, 113 U. 8., 27. And it
has also been held that the privileges and immunities referred
to in that amendment are only such as arise out of the nature
and essential character of the national Government, the pro-
vision of its constitution and the treaties made in pursuance
thereof; and that privileges and immunities belonging to the
citizens of a State as such are not embraced by that amend-
ment. Slaughter House CaseB, 16 Wall., 36. The latter are
some of the cases cited and relied upon by Judge Ross to
sustain his decision; and yet a reading of the opinion of the
court in those cases clearly shows that they are in theory and
reasoning opposed to the position taken in the Marin county
case. The Constitutional amendment in question does not,
nor was it designed to, limit the subject upon which the
police power of a State may be lawfully exercised. Jones
vb. Brim, 165 U. 8., 180; Minneapolis & St. P. R. R, vs.
Beckwith, 139 U. S., 29. And the requirements of the Con-
stitution are satisfied in such cases if such law when passed,
with its benefits and obligations, is impartially administered.
Eldridge vs. Trezevant, 16 U. 8., 452. And equal protection
of the law is not denied by any law or course of procedure
which would have been applied to any other person under
similar circumstances and conditions. Tinsley vs Andrews,
171 U. 8., 101; Lowe vs. Kansas., 163 U. 8., 81. The precise
meaning of this may not be so clear to a layman, but its
meaning is well illustrated by the case of Jones vs. Brim,
above referred to. This was a case where a law of the State
of Utah provided that any person who drives a herd of cer-
tain animals over a public highway constructed on a hillside
was liable for all damages done by such animals in destroy-
ing the banks, or rolling rocks into or upon such highway;
and it was claimed that this denied to such person the equal
protection of the laws and unjustly discriminated against
them; but the court, holding that the control of highways
was within the police power of the State, and that because it
was general in its application to all persons placing them
selves in the situation referred to in the statute, such persons
could not complain — that is, that while it might not apply to
all persons driving live stock over a highway or to persons
using such highways in other ways, if such persons placed
themselves in like circumstances, they then came within its
provisions; and the fact that it provided a punishment only
for those who violated it did not render it invalid. 80 in
the Marshall case: the ordinance in question does not make
it unlawful to have or use this gun, but only to use it in a
particular way, and applies equally to all persons under like
circumstances; and as the regulation of such use, as has been
repeatedly held, is within the police power of the State (see
Geer vs. Connecticut, 161, U. S., 534) the courts will not in-
terfere so long as the law, when passed, applies to all persons
who bring themselves within its terms.

It will be seen, therefore, that the ordinance in question
does not come within the provisions of the fourteenth amend-
ment at all, and that whatever is said by the court on the
question has no real bearing on the case. It seems somewhat
strange that the court in fortifying its decision should ap

parently have relied on caBes not directly in point — that is,
cases not involving the validity of game laws, but caseB
which wonld, at most, have a bearing merely by analogy.

Of all the cases cited by the learned judge, only two, it
seems, are game law cases, these beiDg Ex parte Enapp, 69
Pac. K., 315, a California case, and Geer vs. Connecticut,
already referred to. All the other cases are on entirely
different questions not involving the exercise of the police
power. The Enapp case is not good law, and is opposed by
decisions of other Slates on the same point; and is directly
opposed by the doctrine laid down in the Geer case, which
latter is of controlling authority on the question. Besides,
the Enapp case was on a different ordinance and a different
state of facts.

Most sportsmen are pleased with the decision in the Geer
case, because it was the deliberate expression of opinion by
the highest courts of the land on questions whioh had been in
dispute in regard to the power of a 8tate to pass a game law;
and it was supposed that it forever disposed of most of the
questions arising in regard thereto. It seems, therefore,
somewhat remarkable that Judge Ross should have used that
case to sustain his position, when, as already staled, its hold-
ings are directly opposed to the conclusions reached by him.
It is true that the Geer case was a case involving the power
of a State to pass and enforce a law preventing the transpor-
lion beyond the limits of a State of game killed in the State;
but in reaching a conclusion sustaining the law, the court
entered into a most learned and able discussion of the origin
of such laws and the right and property in game generally,
and held that the game belonged to all the people of a
8tate in common, and that the Government of the State ex-
ercised a truBt for its people in protecting such game, and
that it could make such regulations in regard thereto as it
saw fit, both as to time, manner and instrumentalities of tak-
ing the same, and could at its will absolutely prohibit any
taking thereof; that, as the right to hunt and kill game was
not a natural right, but a mere boon or privilege which the
Legislature could grant, restrict or withhold at pleasure, no
question of Constitutional right could arise thereto; and held
in the sa-ne case that this power wbb one of those so called
police powers, and for the same reason not within the Con-
stitutional provision. In this decision, the court quoted
from and much relied upon the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois, in Magner vs. People, 97 111., 320, a lead-
ing game law case. No lawyer, especially no New York
lawyer, wonld be likely to cite the case of Wynehamer vs.
People, 13 N. Y., 398, which is cited by Judge Ross. That
case was decided in 1856, and has been given the distinction
of being the only case holding that the right to Bell intoxi-
cating liquors at retail is one of the rights protected by the
Constitution. (See note to 35 American Decisions, 335.) It
has been overruled by our own court, these many years,
Excise Board vs. Barrie, 34 N. Y., 668; and is directly op-
posed by the case of Bartmeyer vs. Iowa, 18 Wall. (U. 8.),
139, and many other cases. The learned judge was also in
error in holding that because the ordinance in question de-
prived the petitioner of the right to use his gun in killing the
birds mentioned, it deprived him of all use thereof; for, as a
matter of fact, there are many other UBes to which it might
be put, each as trap shooting and killing different kinds of
animals. A strict construction of the ordinance would also
prohibit its use only as to birds specifically named, the words
"any other birdB" only applying to the class to which those
enumerated belong — that iB, game birdB proper— and might
not apply at all to other kinds; and if that be so, the use of
the gun is only slightly restricted in any event. But even if
it absolutely deprived the owner of all use of his property, It
would still be a valid law, because the object aimed at — the
protection of game — was within the power of the board of
supervisors — that is, the police power — and the effect of that
law in depriving him of the use of the gun was only an in-
cident of the exercise of such power, and no one can com-
plain of such a condition. Lawton vs. Steele, 152 U. 8. 132.
And the right to prohibit the use of a particular kind of gun
has been bo frequently affirmed as to be no longer in doubt.
Ex parte Peterson, 110 Cal., 582

Congress has frequently exercised the right to regulate,
restrict and prohibit tbe use of certain kinds of nets and
other instrumentalities in waters under its jurisdiction, both
as to fish and seals. Supplement to O. 8. Revised Statutes,
Vol. 1, page 279, and Vol, 2, page 174.

As the learned judge was inclined much toward the de-
cisions of this State to sustain his views, it was unfortunate,
perhaps, that he did not read Phelps vs. Racey, 60 N. Y.,
10, which was a game law case, and which fully sustains the
right of the State to make such laws.

It is unnecessary to go further. It is to be hoped that the
Marshall case will not rest where it is, and that, if the law
permits, the question will be submitted to a higher court."

F. J. Walker of Lathrop, Cal., recently purchased the Fox
Terrier bitch Dauntless Queen by Blemton Reefer — Delia
Fox she by Warren Sage — Blemton Spinaway. The bitch is
a grandly bred one, she is soon to be bred to Warren Crack
by Warren Captor — Warren Clare. The union should be
productive of good results.

S. ChriBtenson's grand young English Setter who won first
in puppies and reserve in winners at tbe May show, has
been registered under the name of Joe Cumming's Boy. The
name Joe Humming Jr. having been already claimed. He
is by tbe great Joe Cumming out of Grace G. He will start
in tbe Pacific Coast Derby for 1901 and also in the Derby of
the Pacific Northwest Field Trial Club at Whitby Island,
near Seattle.

Trade Notes.

Attention is called to the announcement on page 419, of
Nobel's Sporting Ballistste. This powder is in great repute
in England and on the Continent. The total winnings made
shooting with it at the Hurlingham and Gun Club, England,
live bird matches November, 1899, May 1900 and April and
May 1900, were £3900. At the Inanimate Bird Shooting
Open Championship meeting, London Sporting Park, June
Eth to 8th, 1900, the Championship Cup was won by Mr. W.
Elliott using "8porting Ballietite" in both barrels. This
powder is pot up in Selby factory loaded shells, also U. M. C.
and Winchester loaded shells.

Clabrough, Golcher & Co. are prepared to furnish their
well known "hand loaded" ammunition, in stock or to order,
for the dove shooting season, now clcse at hand.

DOINGS IN DOGDOM.

The Pacific Bull Terrier Club will hold their next regular
meeting and election of officers iu July.

Dominick 8hannon of this city, who is now almost wholly
identified with coursiog, has an enviable record as a breeder
of Fox Terriers on this Coast. Midlight, first open San
Francisco 1897, the bitch Santa Rosa, first puppies, first
winners' 1899 and Dottie, first novice, first winners' 1900
were bred by him. Stiletto was the sire of all three.

CHAMPIONSHIP CLASS-SDNDAY CONTESTS.

The averages for the first seven regular contests of the
Fly-Casting Club are shown in the tables on the following
page. These tables determine the class standing of the mem*
bers in the final competition for medals and prizes.

In the distance event, the championship chss consists of
those members who prior to 1900 had made 115 feet or over,
and of those who during the first seven contests in 1900
averaged 102J feet or over. Under this system of classifica-
tion the following members of the club were arbitrarily
placed in the championship class, to-wit: Mansfield,
Golcher, Lovett, Brotherton and Everett, all of whom had
made 115 or over prior to 1900. The only other member
of the club who reached the championship class in 1900 is
Daverkosen, whose average is 106 42-84. Mansfield did not
enter the competition in long distance this year. The
championship class in the Saturday contests consists of
Lovett, Golcher, Brotherton and Everett, in the order
named. The championship class in the Sunday contests con-
sists of Golcher, Lovett, Daverkosen, Brotherton and Everett.
The race during the c jming contests for the championship
medal in distance between Golcher and Lovett will be an
interesting one — Lovett leading on Saturday and Golcher
on Sunday. The first class in distance consists of those
members who average over 90 and less than 1021 feet. In
this class Muller leads his next competitor Reed on both
Saturday and Sunday by a good margin. The second class
in distance consists of those members who have averaged less
than 90 feet. Battu leads the second claB" on both Saturday
and Sunday.

All members averaging 90 per cent, and over in accuracy
are placed in the championship class, and those under 90 per
cent, in the first class. Mansfield leads the championship
class on both Saturday and Sunday. In the first class
Kverett and Edwards ate almost tied in the Saturday con-
tests, and Haight and Battu are aluost tied in the Sunday
contests. The competition between these four for tbe first
class medal in accuracy will be very close. Huyck, the
winner of the first class medal in accuracy last year, closely
follows Haight and Battu in the Sunday contests and may
raise his average to such an extent as to become a candidate
for the medal again this year. All members averaging 80
per cent, or over in delicacy are placed in the championship
class and those nnder 80 per cent, in the first class. Mans-
field leads in the championship class on both Saturday and
Sunday. It is interesting to note that on Saturday the class
consists of eight members and on Sunday of nine, which
evidences the great improvement which has been made in
this event daring the past season. In 1899 only three of
those who are classified this year reached tbe championship
class on Saturday end only four on Sunday. The first class
in delicacy is led by Skinner on Saturday and Brotherton on
Sunday. In lure casting Lovett leads on both Saturday and
Sunday by a margin sufficiently large to assure him the
medal in tbis event.

The first of the class contests in the club series of 1900
commenced on Saturday and Sunday last at Slow Lake. The
average of scores made was very good, some individual work
being of a high order. The records for both days follow :

THE FARM.

Feed and Milking of Heifers.

The 8rst year a heifer is milked ie an im-
portant era in her life, for opon the feed and
care she receives during this time depends
much her future capacities for milking and
her yalne for the dairy. In most esses this
extra care and feed are given at a loss. The
heifer's teats are small and need to be devel-
oped in size by much handling, even when
milk cannot be obtained. Then the heifer is
or ought to be growing, and thus requires for
her own sustenance much of the same kind of
nutrhion that in mature cows goes into milk-
So it is often said by farmers that it takes two
good heifers to equal one good cow. 80 far
as profit goes it often requires more. If the
heifer is handled, fed and cared for as she
should be, all that she produces will be
required to pay her owner for the food and
care be has given her.

Yet because a young heifer's teats are small
and it is difficult to strip them clean, it is the
practice of careless milkers to leave some
milk in the udder. This milk left at the last
is always the richest, and when not drawn is
absorbed by the udder and goes to fatten the
heifer. It dries up the milk supply before it
Bhonld be dried op, and materially lessen the
milk producing season all the rest of the cow's
life. Oar practice while we were farming
was to breed the young heifer if possible when
she was not quite a year eld. In twenty
months she would then have a calf by her
eide, and Bhe should not be bred again for six
or eight months. In this time, with plenty
of feed and mainly succulent, the heifer's
milk giving capacity will be developed and
she will add materially to her size. This year
she should be made to give all the milk possi-
ble, and to keep it up for a full year or until
the size of the foetus after she has been bred
again makes milk production too severe a
drain on her system.

8ome heifers have naturally the 'beefy"
form, thick set, with broad chest and extra
thick neck. &. judge of dairy points will
condemn these to the butcher the first year.
One year old beef either from heifer, Bteer or
ball is always juicy, tender and excellent. It
is the very best that ever comes to market,
and some day will command enough extra
price in market to prevent much loss even if
the heifer that has been meant for the dairy
proves to be still better adapted to the
Bhambles. The only trouble with these year
old beeves is in getting them fat enough. But
if the calf is always kept thrifty and is fed in
winter with sufficient feed, it will be ready for
the butcher at any tim6. These also will
make much more larder beef than will animals
that have been alternately starved and pam-
pered with the idea of making one Btreak of
fat and another of lean when the beef comes
to the market.

The heifers that are included for dairy uses
should be largely fed on either corn stalks or
corn silage with some sliced roots, which will
be readily eaten and a little dry hay, or if it
cannot be epued dry straw to prevent the
animals from becoming scoured. Do not fe;d
them any grain, though a bran mash will help
to increase their growth, as bran and wheat
middlings contain the Bind of nutrition that
makes bone, mn cle and eioew. It is far
better for the future milch cow to underfeed
her than to overfeed her, though both ex-
tremes are to be avoided. Good feediog with
a little oil meal to loosen the bowels and
make the bair glossy will soon bring a calf
that is "spring poor" into good condition

again. But a calf that has once been made
fat has developed the tendency to turn all the
nourishment it takes into fat for itsown body,
and not into the butler fats that in a good
cow ought to be always turned into the udder,
and thence into the milk pail.

Poultry Notes.

Kerosene Emulsion for Harness.

The chief rale for feeding ie, no scratch, no
food Never feed a lot of fowls that are tak-
ing the world easy ; keep all food away until
you notice that they are hard at work. Fat
fowls do not lay many eggs

Dust all the poultry with fresh insect powder
and go over the houses and yards with white-
wash and coal oil. Use lime about the runB;
this insures freedom from lice and prevents to
a great extent disease getting a foothold in
your flock.

Never feed whole grain in a trough; when
so fed there will be domineering henB that
will get more than their share, but when the
grain is scattered each hen must Beek her por-
tion and all have an equal chance. Yoa need
not fear to scatter it over every bit of ground,
for not a grain will be wasted, and it compels
the hens to work.

Cleanliness in all the details of the man-
agement of poultry is absolutely necessary to
success. Unless there be perfect cleanliness
the fowls will not only be constantly infested
and worried with vermin, but they will be
liable to many troublesome and dangerous
diseases which check growth, development
and productiveness in the birds and even
cause death. This should prove, even to the
most thoughtless persons, that it doeB not pay
to neglect the poultry in the matter of cleanli-
ness.—Inter-State Poultryman.

California climate ia a little hard 00 harness
unless it is well taken care of. G. W. Tarle-
ton, pioneer orchardtBt of 8an Jose, several
years ago discovered by accident a very fine
way of cleaning up and putting harness in
order. He had been spraying with kerosene
emulsion, and by chance dropped Borne old
straps into his spray barrel, where they re-
mained for some time, and 00 removing tbem
was pleased to see how easily the dirt and
grease came off, leaving the leather clean and
pliable. While in this condition he applied
some harness oil and the pliability became
permanent. He gives the details of his method
which he has followed ever 6ince:

"Take one bar of good strong washing soap,
dissolve in a quart of water and bring to boil-
ing. To this add one pint of kerosene oil,
and stir, best and churn the whole until it
combines into a creamy emulsion. Have a
tub of warm water, into which mix the emul-
sion, and into this place the harness and let
it soak Borne time; then with a Bliff brush rub
and brash the straps thoroughly and they will
come clean very eaBily. Let it dry a little,
until it seems dry on the outside, and then
apply the harness oil. I use either neatsfoot
or fish oil, and I think the fish oil is just as
good. I mix about one-fifth kerosene into
the oil and then give the leather a good oil-
ing. To make it black mix a little lamp
black up with kerosene and mix it with the
oil. In fixing leather carriage tops I find it
necissary to wash over several times with the
emulsion to get it damp enough to oil; then
apply the oil as in the harness. I find old
straps which had become bo orittle as to crack
seriously when bent are restored to their orig-
inal softness and pliability by the treatment.
If a new harness is treated twice a > ear in

The amount of feed required to produce a
pound of live or dressed weight of pork, tak-
ing the various grains at a reasonable range
of market prices and allowing either one-
fourth or one-half cents a quart for skim
milk, has been determined. A large number
of tests have been made with 140 pigs weigh-
ing on an average thirty-seven pounds at the
beginning of the teste and 183 pounds at the
close. The pigs were fed from five to seven
quarts of skim milk a head daily and three
ounces of corn meal or other feeding staff rich
in carbohydrates. Some of the pigs were fed
about the Eame quantity of skim milk together
with from three to six ounces of corn meal to
a quart of milk and in addition enough of a
mixture of equal amounts of corn meal, wheat
bran and gluten meal to satisfy their appetites.
There were rarely more than from five to
seven quarts of milk daily for each pig. The
animals did well with this amount of milk
If they did not secure this quantity their
growth was noticeably slower.

It is not the size of the dairy herd that
gives a profiit to the owner, but the amount
that is produced by it. One such cow as
Signal's Lily Flagg, the cow which holds the
world's record of producing over 1000 pounds
of butter in a year, would give mere profit
than five very good cows or ten fair to ordi-
nary ones. But the secret of her reaching
such a record was not all in her breed. She
was fed liberally and also intelligently
While the amount of grain she consumed
while making this record exceeded alt feeding
records as much as her butter record exceeded
alt others, it should be remembered that it
took two years caieful and gradual increase
of feed eac'i year before she was thought able
to digest so much. And it should also be
remembered that the percentage of butter fat
in her milk did not reach its highest point until
the end of the second year of high feeding.
Those who have but small dairies should
strive first to see that the cows are all
good ones, and next that they are well fed
with a well balanced ration. As prices go now
one can buy one good cow for about the same
price as two poor ones. The good cow prop-
erly fed and cared for would prove profitable,
while the two poor ones with ordinary feed
and care would be most likely to show a lose
to the owner at the year's end. Each would
require about the same amount of food to sus-
tain life, and the profit must come from what
above that amount is eaten and digested.
Not only is the good cow one that can digest
and turn to milk more than the poor one, but
there is always an inducement to give a little
extra feed and care to the animal that is sup-
posed to be good enough to pay well for it.
It is cheaper to enlarge the grain bin or to
replenish it more frequently than to enlarge
the cow stables. Many a man is now keeping
poor cows to eat up the profit he gets from a
few better ones. He had better sell them and

The latest care for milk fever is the irjec-
tion into each teat of half a pint of iodide of
potaBh solution, using an ordinary syringe
with a tube small enough to be inserted into
the teat after the cow had been milked as dry
as possible. The solution is 120 grains of
iodide of potash dissolved in a quart of boil-
ing water and injected after the temperature
has been reduced by cooling to blood beat or
about 100 degrees. The udder and syringe are
first disinfected with any oidinary disinfect-
ant. A cow which calved at four o'clock in
the morning was severely taken with milk
fever, a typical case, and the iDJ-clion made
at nine, was repealed at three o'clock the next
morning and again at nine o'clock, and the
result waB an entire recovery.

this way it will always keep soft and in good

order. I have Borne old harness which I :

[June 3o, 1900

There is a slow evolution going oo. in the
west which means much for the sheep in-
dustry of the future. The large flock industry
will continue, in fact, will multiply steadily,
but the small flock will be introduced just as
soon as farmers are a little further along so
that they can afford woven wire fences. A
farmer can handle sheep in a small way with
a nice profit and when that day arrives it will
be marked as an advance in our agriculture.
There will be no squabble over range rights
and the leasing bugaboo will not enter into
the proposition one way or the other.

The sows at farrowiog time should have as
great a variety of feed as possible. Oats are
good fed whole or ground. Wheat bran or
middlings are among the best feeds also.
Some corn can be fed to advantage, or a mix-
tare of ground corn and oats makes a good
feed. Mangels and sugar beets are fine for
hogs daring the winter months.
