FOBTY-SLSTH  DAY— FBIDAY,  DECEMBER  29. 

2S'LY  two  favorites  got  the  money 
to-day,  so  that  (the  bookmakers 
had  a  shade  the  best  of  the  argu- 
ment over  the  coin.  The  sun 
came  oat,  but  it  only  served  to 
make  the  track  stickier  and  con- 
sequently slower  by  a  couple  of 
.  seconds  than  on  the  preceding 
day.  The  attendance  was  good, 
closely  approximating  2.0C0,  and 
in  view  of  the  fact  that  the  card  was  not  a  very  interesting 
one,  the  management  have  cause  for  congratulation.  The 
successful  jockeys  were  J.  Weber,F.  Carr,  Jordan  and  "  Doc" 
Tuberville,  the  latter  distinguishing  himself  by  piloting  two 
victors  past  the  post. 

Peril,  getting  the  best  of  a  very  bad  start,  won  by  four 
^lengths  with  a  lot  up  her  sleeve.     Faro,  a  tvo-year-old  by 
Prince  of  Norfolk— A vondale,  at  good  odds,  ran  a  grand  race, 
getting  the.  place  handily— this  after  he  had  got  away  abso- 
lutely Jast.     Adolph  was  a  poor  third. 

Mestor  was  made  a  favorite  in  the  second  race,  but  he  was 
hardly  in  the  hunt  at  any  time.  Banjo,  who  struck  the 
homestretch  a  poor  sort  of  third,  overhauled  Bed  Bird  and 
Babe  about  an  eighth  of  a  mile  from  the  finish,  and  in  a  drive 
managed  to  beat  Babe  a  head  for  first  money.  Mestor  then 
came  up  and  beat  Bed  Bird  out  for  the  show. 

There  was  a  great  "dump1'  for  the  talent  in  the  third  race. 
The  Kitten,  played  for  a  sure  thing,  was  beaten  by  both 
Conde  and  Dr.  Boss,  who  finished  as  named,  Conde  winning 
by  Bye  lengths.  Thousands  of  dollars  were  sunk  on  Schreiber's 
filly  in  this  race. 

Charmer,  5  to  1  chance,  won  the  fourth  race  in  fine  style, 
after  Eube  Burrows  and  Braw  Scott  had  run  themselves  oat 
in  front.  Folly,  seventh  passing  the  quarter-pole,  came  with 
great  gameness,  and  gradually  mowing  down  space,  got  the 
place  with  a  fine  burst  of  speed.  Enbe  Burrows,  the  favorite 
got  the  show,  Braw  Scott  tiring  badly  in  the  last  furlong.' 
Wildidles  finished  1-2  in  this  race,  and  Folly  might  have 
won  had  she  got  away  better. 

Grafton,  a  1  to  2  shot,  gathered  in  the  last  rate  after  a  hot 
drive  with  a  lung  shot,  Monarch,  who  has  been  innning  bet- 
ter in  every  race.  Charger  was  poorly  ridden,  or  he  would 
I  ave  Wen  close  to  getting  the  winner's  end  to-day.

The  second  race  was  a  five-furlong  selling  race  with  seven 
starters.  Mestor  was  the  favorite  at  2  to  1,  Shamrock  second 
choice  at  3  to  1,  Banjo  next  in  demand  at  16  to  5.  A  good 
start  wasmade,  with  Banjo,  Babe  and  Lee  Stanley  the  lead- 
ers. Bed  Bird  led  at  the  half-pole  by  half  a  length,  with 
Banjo  second,  a  head  from  Shamrock.  Bed  Bird  led  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch  by  only  half  a  length,  Babe  second 
Ave  lengths  from  Banjo,  he  eight  lengths  from  Mestor.  The 
latter  now  came  like  a  streak.  Bed  Bird  fell  back  fast,  and  an 
eighth  from  home  Banjo  led  by  his  head,  Babe  now  second, 
three  lengths  from  the  tiring  Bed  Bird.  In  a  driving  finish 
Banjo  won  bv  a  head  from  Babe  (a  long  shot),  she  three 
lengths  from  Mestor.    Time,  1:05.

FOBTY-SEVENTH  ASD  LAST  DAY-SATTfBDAY,  DECEMBEB  30. 

This,  the  closing  day  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association's 
meeting,  was  a  memorable  one,  for  it  was  the  coldest  within 
the  memory  of  the  oldest  California  race-goer.  It  was  a  fair 
day  for  favorites,  three  of  them  catching  the  judges'  eyes 
first,  one  being  second  and  another  third.  The  racing  was 
good,  but  on  account  of  the  disagreeable  weather  only  a  small 
crowd  (for  Saturday)  saw  it.  There  was  a  slight  improve- 
ment in  the  going  over  that  of  Friday,  but  indeed  it  does 
seem  to  take  a  long  time  nowadays  for  the  course  to  »et 
"  fast  "and  to  dry  out.  ° 

Sir  Charles,  an  odds-on  favorite,  had  a  verv  easy  time  win- 
ning the  first  race  of  the  day  from  a  field  of  five  not  over 
brilliant  performers.  Fortuna  got  away  in  front,  but  Sir 
Charles,  in  the  language  of  the  track  habitue,  "  ran  over  the 
top  of  her,"  winning  in  a  bloomin'  gallop.  Blizzard  came  so 
fast  at  the  close  that  he  chilled  Forlnna's  blood,  and  she 
dropped  place  honors  like  a  burnt  child.  And  by  the  way 
Sir  Charles  is  something  of  a  race  horse  just  about  now,  and 
it  will  take  a  pretty  good  one  to  beat  him,  especially  over  a 
heavy  track.

A  great  plunge  was  made  on  Gordius  in  the  second  race 
for  two-year-olds,  five  furlongs.  Huntsman,  whose  colors' 
much  resemble  Gordius",  was  away  like  a  shot  in  front,  and 
the  admirers  of  Gordius  thought  for  several  seconds  that  it 
was  the  Miller  colt  that  was  sailing  along  so  serenely  in  front 
Gordius  came  up  well  in  the  homestretch,  but  fell  back  at  the 
end  of  the  race,  aod  Seaside  looked  the  winner.  Gussie  came 
very  fast  and  gamely  at  the  finish,  however,  and  won  a  good 
race  by  a  head,  Seaside  second,  Gordius  a  good  third  Gussie 
was  a  strong  second  choice. 

Pcscador  won  the  rich  >"aglee  Handicap,  but  Ashcroft  and 
Dickey  can  well  exclaim  :  "It  was  Charley  Weber  that  won 
the  money  more  than  the  horse."  Pescador,  whose  odds 
ranged  from  4  to  10  to  1,  was  sent  to  the  front  from  the 
flag-fall,  and  led  by  two  lengths  at  the  quarter  and  three  three 
furlongs  from  home,  where  little  Weber  sat  down  and  rode 
with  rare  determination  and  skill.  There  was  no  It  t-uP  on 
the  one-eved  son  of  Gano  until  he  had  passed  the  finishing 
point  winner  by  a  length  from  the  fast-coming 
UM?m-A  .1  Chee,S  ,l'a,*re?ed  Pescador  and  his  superb 

little  rider  as  they  went  by  in  llie  run  and  upon  their  re- 
turn to  the  weighing-stand  fully  attested  the  popularitv  of 
the  jockey  and  horse  The  owners  of  Pescador  have  been 
playmg  in  hard  luck  of  late,  and  the  windfall  was  a  verv 
welcome  one,  no  doubt.  The  stake  was  worth  $1,550  to 
Messrs.  Ashcroft  A  Dickey.  Thnt  Cadnni,  should  have  won 
his  race  there  can  be  no  gainsaying,  but  Tavlor  took  the 
lightly-weighted  brown  colt  back  into  last  place  and  k»ut 
kill  i?  for  °5er  n=>lf  a  mile,  when,  iu  our  opinion,  he 
should  have  been  out  fighting  in  front  with  Pescador  or 
within  reaching  distance,  at  any  rate. 

Templemoro  had  an  easy  victory  in  the  short-course 
steeplechase  going  to  the  front  when  he  pleased  and  win- 
ning in  a  galop.    Bank  Xote  (someone remarked  that  he

ably for  over  six  furlotfg^. 

Pennyroyal  captured-the' last  race  in  America  during  the 
year  1893  after  a  har>I  fight  with  Faro,  who  did  not  get  away 
quite  as  well  as  thVwifmer.  Adolph  was  oft"  well  in  front, 
but  ran  poorly,  finishing  a  bad  sort  of  fourth  to  Pennyroyal, 
Faro  and  Royal  i-'lush. 

BOW  THE  RACES  WERE  BUN.

to  1.  Fortuua  led,  with  Alms  second,  Vivace  third,  t lie  fa- 
vorite fourth.  At  the  half-pole  Fortuua  was  Icadiug  a  length, 
Sir  Charles  second,  under  a  strong  pull.  He  went  to  the 
front  about  three  furlongs  from  home,  and  won  inarompby 
three  parts  of  a  length.  Blizzard  came  very  fast  at  the  end, 
and  was  second.  Fortuua  was  third,  two  lengths  behind

from  2  to  1  down  to  8  to  5,  Gussie  was  a  well-played  second

The  rich  Naglee  Handicap  followed,  aud  the  Undine  Stable 
(Cadmus  and  Racine)  was  favorite  at  9  to  10,  Wildwood  sec- 
ond choice  at  7  to  5.  Pescador  was  at  4  to  1.  To  a  fine  start 
at  the  second  break  Pescador  took  the  lead,  from  the  outside 
making  for  the  rails.  At  the  quarter-pule  Pescador  led  by 
three  lengths,  Racine  second,  a  head  from  Wildwood,  Cad- 
mus last,  two  lengths  further  back.  Racine  gained  a  trifle 
on  Pescador  iu  the  next  quarter,  and  Wildwood  was  still 
only  a  head  behind  the  big  bay  Undine  horse.  Three  fur- 
longs from  home  Charley  Weber  sat  down  to  ride  Pescador, 
aud  a  shout  went  up:  "Pescador  is  going  away  from  them." 
Cadmus  has  commenced  his  ran,  and  is  second  as  they  swing 
into  the  homestretch,  half  a  length  from  old  Racine  and  still 
three  lengths  behind  the  good-looking  son  of  Gano.  Taylor 
rides  Cadmus  with  all  his  power  in  the  homestretch,  but  the 
move  was  made  too  late,  and  Pescador  passes  under  the  wire

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


FIRST    PAY — MONDAY,  JANUARY   1,  1S94. 

■ft  <W  OT  LESS  than  4,000  persons  saw  the 
A  IS'II         races  to-day,  the  opening  one  of 
the  California  Jockey  Club  meet- 
'  (/  ing.     This  was  most  encouraging 

to  the  management,  especially  as 
■i''-yj^  the  leaden  sky  presaged  rain  and 

**°  .  the  course  had  already  received 
-i— r<  a  drenching  that  should  do  for  at 
^--T — "sCr  least  a  week.  The  races  were 
very  exciting,  two  of  the  finishes 
being  of  the  hair-raising  order. 
Favorites  were  quite  successful,  three  of  them  reaching  the 
finishing-point  in  front  and  one  getting  place  honors,  Under 
these  circumstances  "  the  talent"  may  be  said  to  have  had  a 
bit  the  best  of  the  argument  on  the  monetary  question. 

Zoolein  won  the  last  race,  but  it  looked  iu  the  homestretch 
as  if  he  would  be  badly  beaten.  Nick  Hall's  filly  Norlee 
(formerly  Babe)  commenced  going  away  from  her  field  at 
the  half  pole,  aud  was  three  or  four  lengths  to  the  good  even 
an  eighth  from  home.  She  commenced  to  tire,  and  Zoolein, 
coming  with  that  great  burst  of  speed  of  his,  passed  her  in  a 
twinkling  and  won  quite  easily  by  four  lengths.  Norlee  was 
whipped  out,  and  responded  gamely  enough  to  be  enabled  to 
win  place  money  by  a  head  from  Green  Hock,  who  was  first 
at  the  start.     North  was  never  in  the  hunt  iu  this  race. 

Old  Charger  signalized  his  twentieth  start  here  this  fall 
and  winter  by  winning  in  hollow  style  from  a  field  of  very 
yellow  dogs.  He  got  away  well,  and  Irving  gave  him  several 
cuts  of  the  whip  to  remind  him  that  he  was  in  a  race  and  had 
been  heavily  backed.  Silver  Plate  ran  second  until  near  the 
finish,  where  Vandalight,  under  whip,  came  on  and  beat  her 
out  for  I  he  place. 

Ricardo  won  the  third  race  by  the  shortest  of  noses  from 
Sir  Reginald.  The  latter  got  ofi  in  the  lead,  but  was  caught 
by  Ricardo  in  the  last  sixteenth,  and  ina  furious  drive  was  just 
beaten  in  the  last  stride.  The  judges  declare  that  Ricardo 
stumbled  and  fell  in  a  winner.  Annie  Moore  ran  very  promi- 
nently to  the  homestretch,  where  she  collapsed  badly.  She  is 
on  the  improve,  however,  and  should  win  before  very  long. 
Southern  Lady  and  Jake  Allen,  equal  favorites  at  2'.  to  1 
each,  were  never  labeled  dangerous.  George  L.  got  the  show. 

Ballarat  landed  the  Corrigan  Steeplechase  in  line  style, 
after  indulging  First  Lap  with  the  lead  for  about  half  the 
distance.  Cicero  got  the  place  as  easily  as  Ballarat  won, 
while  First  Lap  and  Templemere  had  a  hot  argument  over 
third  money,  the  former  securing  it  by  a  short  head. 

Thornhill,  a  7  to  10  favorite,  made  his  three-year-old  debut 
to-day  in  encouraging  style,  winning  by  a  neck  in  a  drive 
from  Pennyroyal,  who  appeared  to  be  winning  a  furlong  from 
home.  Sir  Peter  was  third,  only  a  length  away,  at  the  finish, 
aud  Dr.  Ross  was  a  bad  last. 

The  successful  jockeys  to-day  were  Jordan,  Irving,  Peters 
Bishop  and  C.  Weber.  All  rode  in  one  form,  and  Charley 
Weber  is  not  only  fine  of  the  best  boys  in  the  country  to  get 
away  from  the  post,  but  is  fast  developing  into  one  of  our 
very  strongest  finishers.  His  ride  on  Thornhill  was  worthy 
the  best  jockey  in  the  land.  Peters,  too,  is  deserving  of 
great  credit  for  his  ride  on  Ricardo,  who  beat  out  Sir  Regi- 
nald, on  whom  was  mounted  that  demon  of  the  finish,  Eman- 
uel Morris. 

Fifiteen  books  did  business  to-day,  but  doubtless  a  number 
of  others  will  go  on  in  a  few  days. 

HOW  THE  RACES    WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race  of  the  California  Jockey  Club,  five  furlongs, 
selling,  had  seven  starters.  Zoolein  was  a  favorite  at  3  to  5, 
North  next  in  demand  at  2 A  to  1.  Green  Hock  was  first 
away,  attended  by  Zoolein  and  Vivace.  At  the  half-pole  Nor- 
lee, who  was  fifth  away,  was  first  by  three  lengths,  Zoolein 
second,  a  head  from  Green  Hock,  he  three  lengths  from 
North.  The  Hall  filly  opened  up  onother  length  in  the  next 
furlong,  and  Zoolein  led  Green  Hock  a  length.  Into  the 
homestretch  Norlee  was  first  by  three  lengths,  Zoolein  second, 
as  far  from  Green  Hock,  the  rest  out  of  it.  Norlee  looked  all 
over  a  winner  an  eighth  from  home,  but  tired  badly,  and 
Zoolein  came  up  with  that  resistless  burst  of  his,  and  collar- 
ing the  filly  about  eighty  yards  from  the  wire,  came  en  aud 
won  handily  by  four  lengths.  Babe  came  again  under  whip, 
and  managed  to  beat  Green  flock  a  head  for  place.  Time, 
1:04,  B.  C.  Holly  ran  Zoolein  up  $500  over  his  entered  selling 
price  of  $700,  but  Schreiber  retained  the  horse.

The  third  race  had  nine  starters,  and  was  a  nve-mrlong 
selling  event.  Southern  Lady  and  Jake  Allen  were  equal 
favorites  it  2^  to  1,  Ricardo  next  in  demand  at  3  to  1.  To  a 
start,  in  which  Sir  Reginald  got  a  trifle  the  best  of  it,  they 
dashed  away  at  a  good  clip.  Southern  Ladv  was  second  and 
Ricardo  third.  At  the  half-pole  Sir  Reginald  led  by  two 
lengths,  Ricardo  second,  a  head  from  Annie  Moore,  George 
L.  fourth.  Three  furlongs  from  home  Sir  Reginald's  lead 
was  only  a  length,  and  Annie  Moore  was  second,  a  length 
from  Ricardo.  Sir  Reginald  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a 
head  only,  Ricardo  second,  as  far  from  Annie  Moore. 
Ricardo  was  on  the  inside,  and  it  was  a  finish  between  Sir 
Reginald  and  Ricardo  worth  going  many  miles  to  see.  Tt 
looked  Sir  Reginald's  race  up  to  the  very  last  jump,  but 
Ricardo  made  a  superb  effort  and  a  stumble,  and  won  by  a 
nose,  George  L.  tliird,  three  lengths  behind  Sir  Reginald.

The  Corrigan  Steeplechase,  short  course,  was  a  very  pretty 
race.  Cicero  was  the  favorite  at  7  to  5  at  the  close,  Ballarat 
nest  in  demand  at  2  to  1.  Cicero,  First  Lap,  Templemore 
was  the  order  over  the  first  jump,  where  El  Dorado  fell,  then 
First  Lap  took  up  the  running,  leading  by  a  small  margin 
over  the  center-field  jump,  Templemore  second,  as  far  from 
Ballarat.  First  Lap  led  over  the  water-jump  by  a  head,  Bal- 
larat second,  two  lengths  from  Templemore.  Ballarat  was 
now  urged  forward,  and  led  over  the  far  center-field  jump  by 
six  or  seven  lengths,  First  Lap  second,  a  head  from  Temple  • 
more,  he  two  lengths  from  Cicero.  Ballarat  was  five  lengths 
to  the  good  into  the  straight,  with  Cicero  second  and  Tem- 
plemore third.  With  ease  Ballarat  won  by  two  lengths, 
Cicero  second,  three  lengths  from  First  Lap,  who  beat  Tem-

SECOND  DAY — TUESDAY,  JANUARY  2. 

It  begins  to  look  as  if  the  California  Jockey  Club  "would 
have  to  bribe  the  weather  clerk  or  do  something  to  get  into 
his  good  graces.  This  cold,  rainy  weather  is  calculated  to 
keep  anyone  but  a  "  regular  "  indoors,  and  that  is  not  calcu- 
lated to  swell  the  exchecquers  of  the  local  racing  managers  to 
an  extent  that  they  can  appreciate.  The  track  was  slower 
to-day  than  the  proverbial  ox  of  Biblical  history.  Old  Prob 
predicted  fair  weather,  Venetian  skies  and  sunshine  galore, 
and  while  there  was  a  little  of  the  latter  there  was  a 
surplus  of  black-looking  clouds  that  presaged  early  raiu.  The 
downfall  cr.me  soon  after  the  conclusion  of  the  last  race. 
Three  favorites,  one  second  choice  and  one  long  shot  cap- 
tured the  five  races,  so  that  the  form-players  fared  very  well. 

Sir  Charles,  who  was,  owing  to  somebody's  negligence,  left 
out  of  last  night's  list  of  entries,  won  the  first  race  to-day 
easily,  after  getting  away  slowly  in  sixth  place.  Dr.  Ross  got 
the  place  from  Monarch  by  a  head  in  a  drive. 

Norlee,  N.  3.  Hall's  Prinee  of  Norfolk  filly,  led  almost 
from  the  outset  in  the  second  race,  and  won  rather  cleverly 
by  a  neck,  though  Braw  Scott  and  Royal  Flush  were  closing 
on  her  very  last  at  the  finish.  Stoneman  ran  very  prominently 
to  the  homestretch,  where  he  died  away  and  finished  fifth. 

Jim  R.  capuired  the  third  event  on  the  card,  four  and  a 
half  furlongs,  in  the  hardest  sort  of  drive,  Hal  Fisher  dying 
away  badly  at  the  end.  Green  Hock,  who  was  played  with 
all  kinds  of  money  for  place  and  show,  finished  third. 

Johnny  Appleby  secured  the  fourth  race  with  Clacquer, 
who  was  at  V  to  1  in  the  betting,  aud  well  played  by  a  few  in 
the  know.  The  Three  Cheers  colt  got  away  well,  alternated 
with  Adolph  in  the  lead  the  whole  journey,  then  came  on  and 
won  very  cleverly  by  half  a  length  from  Adolph,  another 
horse  that  did  not  lack  for  admirers.  Folly  was  not  ridden 
very  well  by  Carr,  who  got  her  hemmed  in  against,  the  fence 
in  the  last  part  of  the  race.  Seaside,  the  favorite,  was  a  poor 
fourth. 

Amida  and  Gordius  raced  head-and-head  nearly  all  the  way 
in  the  last  run  of  the  day,  and  the  former  landed  the  money 
by  a  nose  from  theodds-on  favorite.  It  begins  to  look  as  if 
Gordius  cannot  run  better  than  second,  no  matter  what  com- 
pany ho  get-  into.  He  has  run  into  place  oftener,  perhaps, 
than  any  ©  it  of  his  age  in  America.  This  race  looked  "a 
moral  "  for  tlSm,  but  again  his  admirers  were  doomed  to  dis- 
appointment. 

now   TUB  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  'ace,  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  had  seven  starters, 
and  Sir  Chiles  were  an  even-money  favorite,  Viceroy  next 
in  demand  :\l  4  to  1.  To  a  rather  poor  start  Wyanashott  led.

to  the  homestretch  by  half  a  length.  Here  Sir  Charles  was 
third,  and  he  easily  came  to  the  front  and  won  easily  by  three 
lengths.  Dr.  Ross,  fourtti  into  the  straight,  came  up  with  a 
fine  burst  of  speed,  and  secured  the  place  by  a  head  in  a  drive 
from  Monarch,  who  was  a  head  only  from  Viceroy.  Time,

odds  than  1  to  2.  Amida,  at  4  and  5  to  1,  was  next  in  de-

10  to  1  straight,  2  to  1  a  show.  Amida,  Alexis,  Gordius  was 
the  order  at  the  start,  which  was  a  good  one.  At  the  half- 
pole  Gordius  was  first  by  a  head, Amida  second,  half  a  length

The  Proposed  National  Jockey  Club, 


Caught  Dead  to  Rights. 


It  looks  as  if  the  great  majority  of  racing  men  who  are 
anxiously  awaiting  the  outcome  of  the  movement  in  the  di- 
rection of  the  National  Jockey  Club  will  be  left  in  suspense 
a  long  time  yet.  says  Francis  Trevelyan  in  a  recent  issue  of 
Daily  America.  Mr.  Van  L.  Kirkman's  visit  to  New  York 
indicates  that  the  turf  magnates  of  the  West  are  willing  to  fall 
into  line  and  act  in  unison  with  their  brethren  in  the  East, 
but  if  any  practical  arrangement  as  to  the  date  of  the  pro- 
posed meeting,  etc.,  has  been  made,  the  public  has  not  been 
given  the  benefit  of  the  information.  Of  course,  just  at  pres- 
ent a  practical  obstacle  to  immediate  action  exists  in  the  ab- 
sence in  different  parts  of  the  country  of  the  men  who  have 
most  to  say  in  the  disposition  of  racing  matters  in  this  part  of 
the  country  of  the  men  who  have  most  to  say  in  the  disposi- 
tion of  racing  matters  in  this  part  of  the  world.  Mr.  P.  J. 
Dwyer  is  in  Caliornia  on  a  sad  mission,  Mr.  J.  A.  Morris  is  in 
New  Orleans,  Mr.  M.  F.  Dwyer  is  in  Florida  and  Mr.  Pierre 
Lorillard,  who  might  very  possibly  take  a  practical  interest 
in  the  scheme  since  he  did  in  the  bringing  to  birth  of  the 
Board  of  Control,  Is  in  the  south  of  France. 

There  will  have  lobe  a  vast  deal  of  talking  done  before 
any  practical  scheme  can  be  formulated.  The  suggestion  that 
Mr.  Kirkman  made  to  a  representative  of  the  Spirit  of  the 
Times  that  owners  should  be  licensed  just  as  much  as  jockeys 
or  trainers — strikes  the  keynote  of  the  situation.  Opponents 
of  the  scheme  will  dub  it  a  racing  monopoly  or  trust,  but  that 
is  just  what  it  has  to  be  if  the  sport  is  to  be  purified  and  dig- 
nified. Make  the  scheme  broad.  Give  every  racing  associa- 
tion a  chance  to  enter  the  fold,  and  if  the  chance  is  refused 
then  shut  the  door  tight  as  wax.  Make  the  mere  fact  of 
starting,  riding  or  training  a  horse  on  any  race  course  not 
represented  in  toe  National  Jockey  Club,  or  whatever  it  may 
be  called,  a  self-inflicted  outlawry,  from  which  there  will  be 
absolutely  no  repeal.  Of  course  there  will  be  outlaw  tracks 
and  free  lance  owners,  trainers  and  jockeys,  but  if  the  scheme 
be  properly  engineered  to  start  with,  such  outlaw  tracks  will 
have  a  precarious  existence  from  the  first,  pnd  the  chances 
are  that  most  of  them  would  be  forced  to  the  wall. 

The  establishment  of  a  National  Jockey  Club  is  the  only 
way  to  check  what  has  been  the  chief  curse  of  latter  day  rac- 
ing— the  springing  up  of  mushroom  race-courses  all  over 
the  country.  If  the  scheme  is  put  through,  of  course  every 
racing  association  represensed  will  be  licensed,  and  it  should 
be  made  the  hardest  kind  of  a  matter  for  any  new  association 
to  get  a  license.  In  localities  where  there  is  sufficient  racing 
accommodation  already,  as  in  the  neighborhood  of  New  York, 
licenses  should  be  postively  refused,  and  even  in  parts  of  the 
country  where  a  race-course  would  be  an  advantage,  no  li- 
cense should  be  issued  except  to  associations  that  will  pro- 
vide the  very  best  accommodations.  It  should  be  insisted  on, 
for  example,  that  the  course  itself  should  be  at  least  half  a 
mile,  with  a  six-furlong  straight  course,  and  the  course  should 
at  no  point  be  of  less  than  a  certain  width.  This  is  a  mere 
suggestion  of  one  way  in  which  a  national  jockey  club  will  be 
able  to  work  reforms  impossible  at  present.  How  enormously 
beneficial  to  the  turf  the  practical  limitation  of  racing  associa- 
tions would  be  no  one  need  be  told. 

There  is  a  really  pleasant  vista  opened  by  the  possibilities 
of  a  national  jockey  club  in  the  near  future.  There  are  a 
hundred  and  one  evils  existing  at  present  that  will  then  be 
avoidable.  Clashes  of  dates  will  be  avoided,  and,  better  still, 
there  will  be  some  real  authority  over  jockeys,  trainers  and, 
it  may  be  added,  owners.  Take  the  case  of  Frank  Van  Ness, 
for  example.  Refused  a  license  in  the  East,  he  will  not  be 
able  to  go  West  and  laugh  at  the  Eastern  authorities  while  he 
races  his  horses  on  the  best  of  the  Western  tracks.  A  jockey 
under  the  ban  at  any  point  will  not  be  able  to  slip  away  to  a 
different  section  and  get  mounts.  Once  on  the  ground  he  will 
have  to  stay  there  till  his  penance  is  fulfilled  unless  he 
chooses  to  outlaw  himself,  and  this,  very  few  will  care  to  do. 


[CONTINOED  ON  PAGE  8.] 


A  horse's  brain  averages  in  weight  from  sixteen  to  nine- 
teen ounces.  The  heart  of  a  horse  beats  forty  times  a  minute 
and  sends  six  ounces  of  blood  through  the  veins  and  arteries 
at  each  beat;  900  pounds  pass  through  the  heart  in  an  hour, 
10  4-5  tons  in  twenty-four  hours,  and  nearly  4,000  tons  in  a 
year.  There  are  170  bones  in  the  whole  structure  of  the  horse, 
and  they  weigh  from  110  to  125  pounds.  They  are  divided 
as  follows :  In  the  neck,  7,  in  the  tail,  8  ;  ribs,  34  ;  tibias, 
public  region  and  hind  legs,  32;  forelegs  and  shoulders,  26; 
head,  including  teeth,  45;  sacrum  bones,  5 ;  back  or  dorsal 
vertebra?,  25. 


To  Race  at  Hot  Springs. 

The  following  letter  has  been  received  by  Judge  Burke  of 
New  York,  from  Col.  L.  S.  Hatch,  now  at  the  Arlington  Ho- 
tel, Hot  Springs,  Ark.,  regarding  the  forthcoming  meeting  at 
Hot  Springs  : 

"  The  company  which  will  operate  this  meeting  is  com- 
posed of  St.  Louis  business  men,  and  all  the  money  necessary 
to  run  it  is  in  bank,  ready  for  the  meeting  to  begin.  All  con- 
cerned are  responsible  men,  financially  and  otherwise.  Tbe 
business  people  of  Hot  Springs  raised  us  a  cash  bonus  to  put 
the  track  in  ^irst-class  condition  and  furnish  it  rent  free. 
The  poolrooms  in  the  city  will  be  closed  during  the  meet- 
ing, so  there  will  be  no  opposition  from  that  quarter.  The 
population  here  during  the  season  is  amply  sufficient  to  make 
this  the  best  point  for  a  winter  race  meeting  in  the  South. 
We  will  race  every  week  day,  five  races  a  day.  Four  purses 
of  §150  each,  and  one  handicap  or  stake  from  $250  to  $500. 
You  can  say  to  all  inquirers  that  there  is  a  better  game  here 
than  any  other  point  in  the  South,  for  the  best  people  in  the 
United  States,  from  a  sporting  litandpoint,  come  here  in  the 
winter.  Tbe  track  is  only  half  a  mile,  but  is  an  extra  good 
one." 

It  is  also  understood  that  the  Iron  Mountain  Railroad 
will  make  special  low  rates.  The  meeting  will  begin  January 
20th  and  continue  sixty-one  davs.  A  large  force  of  men  are 
now  at  work  on  the  grounds.  There  will  be  no  scarcity  of 
horses,  as  St.  Louis  is  only  eighteen  hours1  distaut,  and  there 
are  hundreds  wintering  at  Little  Rock  as  well.  Horsemen 
from  the  North  can  make  the  Hot  Springs  campaign,  and 
then  work  up  the  Southwestern  circuit,  while  will  include 
Little  Rock,  Memphis,  Nashville,  Lexington,  Louisville,  St. 
Louis,  Latonia,  Washington  Park  and  Hawthorne  Park, 
Chicago. 

Judge  Burk  will  preside  in  the  judges'  stand  till  his  ser- 
vices are  required  rn  the  East. 


The  Board  of  Stewards  on  Friday  ruled  Owner  Phil  Archi- 
bald Trainer  Sam  Cooper,  Rubber  Tom  Small  and  the  horses 
Swiftsure  and  Ichi  Ban,  off  the  turf.  The  evidence  brought 
before  the  Stewards  wove  such  a  network  of  criminality  about 
the  Decks  of  the  men  mentioned  above  that  they  were  given 
the  severest  punishment  possible — banishment  for  life.  It 
was  brought  out  beyond  peradventure  that  Swiftsure  was 
"  doped  "  on  Wednesday  last  in  a  race  won  by  Dr.  Ross,  and 
in  which  Archibald's  gelding  ran  a  poor  third. 

A  prominent  official  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association  is  au- 
thority for  the  following:  From  the  evidence  adduced  tbe 
horse  warmed  up  very  well,  and  of  course  Swiftsure's  excel- 
lent condition  was  known  to  those  most  interested.  Taking 
a  tour  around  the  betting  ring,  one  of  the  chief  actor?  in  the 
.play  saw  that  the  horse  was  much  fancied  and  was  the  favor- 
ite at  the  opening.  The  odds  did  not  suit  the  party  in  ques- 
tion— in  fact,  it  angered  him  to  see  such  short  odds  against 
the  animal,  and  he  left  the  ring  and  repaired  to  the  spot 
where  Swiftsure  was  being  walked  around  by  a  stable  urchin. 
It  was  remarked  to  one  of  Swiftsure's  attendants,  or  in  effect: 
"  I  would  give  two  or  three  hundred  dollars  if  the  horse  didn't 
figure  at  the  finish."  "  That's  easy  enough  fixed,"  said  Actor 
No.  2,  and  the  next  moment  the  horse  was  takeD  from  the 
stable  boy,  led  out  of  the  paddock  to  a  row  of  stalls  situated 
northeast  of  the  said  paddock,  and  in  a  close  proximity  to  a 
watering  trough,  where  No.  2  took  a  mysterious  something 
from  bis  pocket,  wet  it,  and  gave  it  to  the  horse.  Swiftsure 
was  then  taken  back  to  the  saddling  paddock,  and  No.  2  re- 
marked to  No.  1  that  "  everything  was  all  right."  In  a  few 
moments  the  odds  lengthened  from  6  to  5  to  3  to  1,  which 
were  the  quotations  against  Swiftsure  at  post  time. 
Then  the  conspirator-in-cbief  played  Lark  heavily, 
only  to  have  Dr.  Ross  upset  his  calculations.  The  find- 
ing here  outlined  resulted  in  the  ruling  off  for  life  of  Owner 
Phil  Archibald,  Trainer  Sam  Cooper  and  Rubber  Tom  Small. 
Jockey  Taylor,  suspended  pending  invertigation,  was  ex- 
onerated from  all  blame.  The  decision  of  the  stewards  affects 
a  number  of  good  horses,  among  them  Sir  Reel,  Ichi  Ban, 
Swiftsure,  Miss  Fletcher  and  several  others.  Ichi  Ban 
was  entered  in  a  race  yesterday,  but  after  the  ruliDg  off  he 
was  not  allowed  to  start. 

The  prompt  action  of  the  stewards  and  the  swift  detectiou 
of  the  guilty  parties  is  to  be  commended  by  all  lovers  of  fair 
play,  and  this  wholesale  ruling  off  will  doubtless  deter  others 
inclined  to  be  dishonest  in  their  dealings  on  the  turf  from 
treading  on  dangerous  ground  in  future. 

"  For    Gentlemen    Riders    Only." 

In  the  days  of  old  Cote  Brilliante,  when  the  St.  Louis  rac- 
ing public  were  satisfied  with  a  week  or  less  racing  each  year, 
no  meeting  was  ever  complete  without  a  steeplechase  or  two 
says  a  St.  Louis  exchange.  Cote  Brilliante  at  each  meeting 
it  was  the  custom  to  give  a  steeplechase  at  the  close  of  each 
meeting  for  gentlemen  riders  only,  and  St.  Louis  had  then 
many  artists  of  that  kind,  notably  Harry  and  Clarence  O'Fal- 
lon,  Charley  Van  Studdiford,  Johnny  Blow,  Joe  Chambers 
and  many  others. 

One  Saturday  the  elite  of  society  went  out  to  Cote  Bril- 
liante to  see  the  steeplechase  for  "gentlemen  riders  only." 
There  were  stone  wall  and  water  jumps  and  ever  so  many 
hurdles.  The  man  who  cjuld  ride  the  distance  without  tak- 
ing a  tumble  was  indeed  a  cuckoo. 

There  were  about  ten  starters,  and  at  the  first  jump  there 
was  a  tumble.  And  at  each  succeeding  jump  some  one  fell 
by  the  way  side,  until  there  was  no  one  left  in  the  race  but 
Joe  Chambers  riding  Gay  Lad. 

He  had  but  little  more  distance  to  travel.  He  scented  vic- 
tory in  the  air,  and  having  distanced  all  the  others  he  would 
get  all  the  money.  There  were  only  two  hurdles  more  to  cover. 
Gay  Lad  jumped  one  and  landed  with  his  rider  safe  and 
sound  on  the  other  side.  And  dow  there  was  but  a  single 
hurdle  between  Chambers,  Gay  Lad  and  victory.  They  went 
at  it  nervously  and  excitedly  and  as  Gay  Lad  cleared  the 
hurdle  he  stumbled  and  sent  Chambers  sprawling  on  the  hard 
track. 

The  poor  fellow  lay  proue  on  the  ground  and  groaning  bit- 
terly. In  the  fall  he  had  broken  his  collar  bone  and  he  felt 
as  though  he  would  like  to  die  then  and  there.  But  while  in 
the  midst  of  his  misery  some  friends  ran  out  on  the  track, 
captured  Gay  Lad  and  brought  him  back  to  his  rider. 

"Jump  up  here  Joe,"  said  the  man  who  had  secured  Gay 
Lad.  "Jump  up  and  walk  the  horse  in.  That's  all  you  have 
to  do  now  to  get  the  money." 

"I  can't,"  responded  Joe.     "  I'm  too  weak." 

"Then  lift  him  on,"  shouted  the  other. 

Several  good  fellows  took  hold  of  Joe  and  lifted  him  into 
the  saddle.  Then  he  walked  in  the  sole  survivor  of  the  ten 
who  had  started  this  race  for  "gentlemen  riders  only." 


A  "Well  Known  Horseman  Dead. 


Baltimore,  December  22. — H.  P.  Lucas,  well  known  all 
over  the  trotting  horse  world  as  "  Pike,"  died  last  night  after 
undergoing  an  operation  for  the  removal  of  a  cancerous 
growth  on  his  throat  and  neck.  He  *vas  forty-seven  years 
old.  Mr.  Lucas  was  appointed  a  position  in  the  fire  alarm 
telegraph  office  in  1867  by  Mayor  Robert  T.  Banks,  which 
he  held  to  the  time  of  his  death.  "  Pike  "  contributed  many 
articles  to  the  sporting  journals  of  the  country. 


Duplication  of  Horses'  Names. 

Of  all  the  minor  annoyances  connected  with  racing  none 
crops  up  more  frequently  than  the  duplication  of  names 
among  thoroughbreds.  Imagination  appears  to  run  short  in 
giving  names  to  horses,  and  the  adoption  of  a  rule  bearing  on 
the  subject  is  a  necessity.  A  clipping  from  tbe  London 
Sporting  Life  bearing  on  this  subject  also  indicates  the  care- 
ful system  in  vogue  on  the  other  side  in  keeping  the  record 
of  half-bred  horses  distinct  from  tbe  thoroughbreds. 

"In  accordance  with  the  alteration  of  Rule  65  of  racing, 
in  future  no  name  will  he  admitted  to  the  '  Stud  Book,'  either 
for  racing  or  breeding  purposes,  without  the  owner  of  the 
horse  first  ascertaining  from  Messsrs.  Weatherby  that  there 
is  no  horse  of  the  same  name,  when  it  will  be  registered  in 
the  Stud  Boak  and  published  in  the  Sheet  Racing  Calendar, 
and  a  fee  of  2s.  (id.  charged,  as  provided  by  Rule  180.  Names 
not  registered  cannot  appear  in  entrie-.  There  being  appar- 
ently some  misapprehension  as  to  the  meaning  of  '  registra- 
tration,'  it  must  be  understood  that  names  already  in  the 
Stud  Book  are  registered,  as  are  also  half-bred  horses,  or 
those  whose  pedigrees  are  not  traceable,  the  names  of  which 
have  nlready  appeared  in  the  Racing  Calendar,  with  full 
description,  under  the  Rules  of  Racing.  The  names  of  horses 
not  thoroughbred  will,  on  application  to  Messrs.  Weatherby, 
be  henceforth  registered  in  a  separate  list  and  published  in 
the  Racing  Calendar.  This  is  a  move  in  the  right  dire.  :i 
as  the  duplication  of  names  has  at  all  times  caused  gi 
convenience  to  racing  men,  and  especially  to  those 
occasion  to  use  the  Stud  Book  to  any  extent."

■Work   of  the  Jockeys. 


Below  will  be  found  a  table  showing  the 
work  of  every  jockey  that  had  s  mount  at 
the  Blood  Hoise  meeting  which  ended  last 
Saturday.  Irving  had  the  largest  number  of 
wins,  but  Johnny  Weber  bad  the  best  aver- 
age, winning  nearly  35  per  cent,  of  his 
mounts.  Charley  Weber  was  in  demand  more 
than  any  of  the  pilots,  as  the  large 
number  of  rides  he  made  amply  attests. 
In  the  matter  of  getting  away  from  the 
post  in  front  the  leading  jockeys  are  J. 
Weber,  C.  Weber,  Irving,  F.  Carr,  Jordan, 
Sloan,  Sullivan  and  E  Morris.  At  finishing 
the  chief  honors  rest  with  E.  Morris,  Irving, 
Jordan,  Miller,  J.  Weber,  Taylor,  Sullivan, 
McAulirte,  C.  Weber  and  F.  Carr,  they  rank- 
ing about  as  named. 

Emanuel  Morris  rode  tl-e  longest  shot  of 
meeting  to  victory  in  Sir  Reginald  at  40  to  1. 
Peters  piloted  Dr.  Boss  at  20  to  1,  and  Cook 
Return  at  20  to  1.  McAulifle  rode  Carmel 
and  Wyanashotlt  first  past  the  post,  both  be 
ing  at  15  to  1.  Todd  Sloan  also  rode  two  15 
to  1  shots  in  Greenhock  and  Frsucesca. 
Other  jockeys  ,lo  ride  15  to  1  horses  were 
Taylor  on  the  Premium  filly,  H.  Smith  on 
Patsy  O'Neill,  Dennison  on  Midget  and  All- 
mark  on  El  Dorado.  The  following  boys  also 
rode  outsiders  to  victory:  H.  Smith,  on  Inker- 
man,  at  12  to  1 ;  Tavlor,  on  Vivace,  at  10  to 
1;  Taylor,  on  Motto,  at  10  to  1 ;  McAulifle, 
on  Muriel,  at  10  to  1 ;  C.  Weber,  on  Monowai, 
at  12  to  1  ;  McAulifle,  on  Conde,  at  12  to  1 ; 
C.  Weber,  on  Garcia,  at  13  to  1  ;  BlaRerly,  on

The  Winning  Owners 

The  following  list  will  prove  interesting  to  those 
who  desire  to  see  what  money  can  be  earned  by  a 
good  horse  or  stable  of  race  horses  during  a  meeting 
lasting  forty-seven  days.  Wildwood,  of  course 
beads  the  list  of  winning  horses,  he  putting  the  ricli 
Racine  Stakes,  worth  $5,270,  and  another  stake 
worth  Si.  100  to  A.Otiinger's  credit.  In  all.  his  win- 
nings were  S8, 195.  Cicero  put  S5.230  to  Ed  Conigan's 
credit,  Lucky  Dog  won  .-3,670  for  Simeon  G.  Reed, 
while  Racine  and  Don  Fulano  each  put  considera- 
bly over  S3.000  to  the  credit  of  Thomas  H.  Williams. 
Charmion  placed  82,635  to  the  account  of  Dan  Mil- 
ler, while  Pescidor  earned  82,075,  Wildwood  un- 
doubtedly heads  the  list  of  winning  sires  at  the 
meeting  by  a  large  margin, with  over  $14,000  to  their 
credit.  Imp.  Cheviot  stands  well  up  on  this  list  too 
with  over  S6.000.  The  Argylesdid  exceedingly  well 
for  their  number,  as  did  the  Duke  of  Norfolk's  and 
Hyder  Alls.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


[Continued  from  Page  3-1 


THIBD   DAY — WEDNESDAY,  JANUYARY  2. 

E  SMILED  to-day.  By  "  he  "  we 
mean  the  weather  clerk.  Following 
the  smile  came  some  clear  weather, 
some  sun  and  a  raw, countrified  sort 
of  breeze.  There  was  an  increase 
in  the  attendance,  but  the  track 
was  the  slowest  of  the  slow.  It  had 
reached  the  mucilagenous  stage 
several  hours  before  racing  was  be- 
gun, so  that  the  short  six  furlongs 
in  1:193  and  five  furlongs  iu  1:07 i  was  the  sort  of  track  found 
this  afternoon.  It  was  a  very  chilly  day  for  favorites,  one 
only  (that  one  in  the  first  race)  getting  his  nose  in  front  at 
the  finish.  No  very  long  shots  were  successful,  however,  so 
that  the  talent  may  have  seen  worse  afternoons  than  tliis  for 
making  money. 

Charley  Weber  again  rode  a  winner,  and  other  successful 
jockeys  were  Me.Vulitle,  \V.  Clancy,  Peters  and  Donathan. 
Braw  Scott  captured  the  first  race  very  easily.  He  raced 
aloug  with  Ed  Stanley  until  the  latter's  condition  began  to 
tell,  and  then  came  on  to  the  front  at  will.  Paulus,  pur- 
chased only  yesterday  by  "Doc"  John  Robbins,  got  the  place 
by  a  narrow  margin  in  this  race. 

Orrin  won  the  second  race  by  a  head  after  Peters  had  gone 
to  sleep  on  Alliance.  Silver  Plate  and  Gold  Dust  raced  off 
in  front,  and  had  nothing  left  to  finish  on.  Alliance  looked 
all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  very  last  two  jumps.  Orrin,  the 
winner,  ran  away  about  five  furlongs  before  this  race,  along 
with  Bank  Note. 

Realisation  showed  nis  quality  to-day  when  he  defeated 
such  cracks  as  Glee  Boy,  Pescador  and  others  of  note.  He 
came  away  from  Glee  Boy  at  the  end  with  wonderful  ease, 
and  is  undoubtedly  a  great  mud  colt.  Monowai  ran  promi- 
nently for  nearly  half  a  mile,  but  finished  a  poor  fourth. 

Ricardo  dumped  many  a  friend  into  the  Slough  of  Despond 
when  he  lost  the  fourth  race  to  Johnny  Payne.  The  latter's 
victory  was  an  easy  one.  Claire  got  the  worst  of  the  send-off 
in  this  race. 

Joe  Ellis  won  the  last  race  of  the  day  by  three  lengths,  and 
easily.  He  got  away  well  to  *  straggling  start,  and  soon 
was  iu  front.  He  was  never  thereafter  headed,  though  he 
did  stumble  in  the  final  sixteenth.  Little  Frank's  chances 
were  killed  at  the  start,  and  though  he  ran  up  into  second 
place  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  the  eflbrt  was  too  much 
for  bim.  Vendome,  a  15  to  1  shot,  got  the  place,  and  Alfred 
B.,  who  made  up  a  lot  of  ground,  was  a  good  third. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race,  about  six  furlongs,  had  seven  starters,  and 
Braw  Scott  was  an  odds-on  ;favorite.  Ed  Stanley  (formerly 
Donohue)  was  next  in  demand  at  3  to  1.  Vandalight,  White 
Cloud  and  Ed  Stanley  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Braw  Scott 
soon  ran  up  into  second  place,  and  he  and  Ed  Stanley  ran 
heads  apart,  from  two  to  three  lengths  in  front  of  White 
Cloud,  to  the  homestretch,  where  Braw  Scott  easily  assumed 
the  lead,  and  won  by  two  lengths.  Ed  Stanley  quit  consider- 
ably in  the  last  furlong,  and  Paulus  ("  Doc"  Bobbins'  recent 
purchase)  came  up  and  beat  him  out  two  lengths  for  place, 
White  Cloud  was  fourth.    Time,  1:19$.

Thesecond  race  was  also  about  six  furlongs.  Silver  Plate 
was  the  favorite,  Alliance  second  choice  at  3  to  1.  Bank  Note, 
Orrin  and  Gold  Dust  ran  away,  the  first  two  about  five  fur- 
longa,  Gold  Cup  about  three-eighths.  Gold  Dust  and  Alliance 
raced  off  in  front,  with  Alliance  third,  three  lengths  back,  to 
the  homestretch,  where  there  was  a  general  closing  up,  Orrin 
coming  fast  on  the  inside.  An  eighth  from  home  Alliance

The  fourth  race,  one  and  one-half  furlongs,  for  three-year- 
olds,  had  but  four  starters.  Ricardo  was  a  hot  favorite  at  3  to 
5  and  7  to  10.  Johnny  Payne  was  second  choice  at  9  to  5.  To 
a  start  in  which  Claire  was  left  a  couple  of  lengths  iu  the  rear 
they  were  sent  away.  Ricardo  led  Johnny  Payne  a  length  at 
the  half  and  into  the  homestretch,  with  Sue  Abbott  two 
lengths  further  back.  Johnny  Payne  was  cut  loose  in  the 
homestretch,  and  was  leading  easily  by  half  a  length  a  furlong 
from  home.  He  came  away  from  Ricardo  in  the  last  fifty 
yards,  and  won  easily  by  two  lengths,  Ricardo  second,  four 
from  Sue  Abbott.  Claire  was  pulled  up  half-way  down  the 
straight.     Time,  1:12|.

The  last  race,  five  furlongs,  selling,  brought  out  a  field  of 
nine.  Joe  Ellis  was  backed  down  into  favoritism,  opening  at 
5  to  1,  closing  at  3.  Little  Frank  closed  at  3^  to  1.  Vendome 
was  at  15  to  1  straight,  (i  to  1  for  a  place.  A  very  straggling 
start  was  made,  Vendome,  Joe  Ellis  and  Jessie  being  in  the 
first  Alight,  Little  Frank  all  but  last.  Joe  Ellis  at  once  sailed 
away  from  his  field,  leading  by  three  lengths  at  the  half-pole 
and  four  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  where  Little  Frank 
was  second,  but  dying  away  fast,  the  effort  being  too  much  for 
him.  Vendome  passed  up  into  second  place  once  they  were 
straightened  out,  and  though  Joe  Ellis  made  a  bad  stumble 
about  a  sixteenth  from  the  finish,  he  came  on  and  won  easily 
by  three  lengths,  Vendome  second,  half  a  length  from  Alfred

FOUKTH  RACE — THURSDAY,  JANUARY  4. 

Favorites  were  mowed  down  in  one-two-three  order  this 
afternoon.  In  the  fourth  race  one  did  manage  to  get  his  head 
in  front  at  the  finish,  but  there  was  some  question  as  to  whether 
he  should  not  have  been  disqualified  by  the  judges.  The  track 
was  simply  in  the  worst  state  we  have  ever  seen  it.  Its  depth 
in  sticky  mud  can  be  better  understood  when  it  is  stated  that 
five  furlongs  were  run  in  1:10.},  fifteenth-sixteenths  of  a  mile 
in  1:45  and  seven  furlongs  in  1:38|.  This  would  make  it 
close  to  ten  seconds  slow  to  the  mile.  The  weather  was  clear 
and  cold,  and  the  attendance  improved  somewhat  over  tbat  of 
yesterday.  As  said  before,  the  first  three  favorites  were 
beaten,  the  first  by  a  20  to  1  shot,  the  other  two  by  3  and  4 
tol  chances  respectively. 

The  first  race  was  captured  by  Zaragoza,  a  20  to  1  chance. 
He  ran  away  back  in  the  buuch  until  the  homestretch  was 
reached.  Here  he  came  up  with  a  wet  sail,  but  in  coming 
through  he  fouled  Fortuna  a  couple  of  times,  making  her  lose 
what  chances  she  had  of  winning.  Blizzard  came  like  a  shot  at 
the  end,  and  would  surely  have  won  had  Peters  not  been 
slumbering  too  long.  As  it  was  Zaragoza  won  by  half  a 
length,  with  Blizzard  going  nearly  twice  as  fast  atthe  close. 
Sir  Peter,  the  favorite,  was  a  poor  sort  of  third. 

The  Lark  was  an  even-money  favorite  for  the  second  race, 
seven  furlongs,  and  led  from  start  to  homestretch,  where 
Peters  again  took  a  snooze,  allowing  Paulus  to  come  from  the 
rear  and  beat  him  out  a  short  head.  The  judges  thought  the 
young  fellow  needed  a  rest,  so  set  him  down  indefinitely. 
Peters  reputation  for  honesty  is  good,  and  he  rides  well  at 
times,  but  he  has  thrown  three  races  away  in  the  past  two 
days  by  either  over-confidence  or  carelessness. 

Francesca  bowled  the  third  favorite  over,  and  she  did  it 
in  a  manner  that  indicated  she  will  be  hard  to  beat  in  heavy 
going.  Hydy,  the  favorite,  was  a  bad  last,  and  did  not  seem 
able  to  get  going  at  any  part  of  the  journey.  As  the  horse 
has  only  been  here  a  few  days,  it  is  likely  that  this  race  is 
not  anything  of  a  fair  criterion  of  his  ability.  Wyanashott, 
well  ridden  by  McAulifie,  came  like  a  flash  at  the  close,  aud 
beat  Conde  on  the  post  for  place. 

The  steeplechase  caused  a  lot  of  excitement.  Cito  was  lead- 
ing over  the  last  jump  by  about  a  length,  Longwell 
gaining  under  whip.  Soon  he  was  on  even  terms  with  Cito, 
and,  pressing  the  latter  against  the  fence,  hemmed  him  in  so 
that  to  pass  to  the  front  was  impossible.  Naturally,  the  horse 
on  the  inside  tried  to  get  out.  Then  he  was  taken  back,  coming 
again  with  a  rush.  Again  Longwell  hemmed  him,  not- 
withstanding Allmark's  yelling  to  Brown  to  pull  out.  That 
Cito's  rider  was  not  badly  injured  is  miraculous.  A 
great  cry  of  foul  went  up.  At  the  finish  Longwell  was  first 
half  a  length.  The  judges  placed  them  as  they  finished, 
amid  groans  and  hooting  by  the  crowd  that  gathered  about 
their  stand.  To  my  mind  several  fouls  was  certainly  committed 
by  Longwell,  but  whether  it  was  intentional  or  not  I  cannot 
say.  The  judges  say  Cito  fouled  Longwell,  but  I  did  not  see 
where  it  occurred,  as  the  former  led  most  of  the  way.  The 
rule  is  very  explicit  in  regard  to  impediment  of  a  horse's 
progress  during  a  race. 

Artist  won  the  last  race  of  the  day  in  a  gallop,  after  getting 
away  none  too  well.  Another  Darebin  (Flurry)  finished  sec- 
ond in  this  event. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race,  about  six  furlongs,  had  seven  starters.  Sir 
Peter,  at  9  to  5,  was  the  favorite,  with  Royal  Flush  next  in 
demand  at  3J  to  1.  To  a  fair  start,  Fortuna  and  Charger 
raced  off* in  front,  heads  apart,  two  lengths  separating  them 
from  Koyal  Flush  passing  the  half  pole.  Blizzard,  last  away, 
wan  fifth  at  this  point.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch 
Charger  led  by  a  length,  Royal  Flush  second,  half  a  length 
from  Fortuna.  she  a  head  from  Sir  Peter.  Zaragoza  ran  up 
like  a  ghost  in  the  straight,  and  was  a  head  in  front  a  six- 
teenth from  home,  with  Fortune,  against  the  inside  fence, 
socond,    and    fouled    a    couple    of     times     by)    Zaragoza, 


a  neck  from  Royal  Flush.  Zaragoza,  in  a  drive,  won 
by  half  a  length  from  Blizzard,  who  came  very  fast  from  the 
rear  and  got  the  place,  going  about  twice  as  fast  as  the  win- 
ner at  the  end.  A  length  behind  Blizzard  came  Sir  Peter, 
third.     Time,  1:20.

The  Lark  was  a  hot  favorite  for  the  second  race,  seven  fur- 
longs, and  Paulus  was  a  strongly-played  second  choice  at  3  to 
1.  To  a  good  start  they  were  sent  away.  The  Lark  soon  as- 
sumed command,  and  led  by  a  length  at  the  quarter,  Atlus 
second,  as  far  from  Prince.  The  Lark  led  by  over  a  IeDgth 
at  the  half-pole,  Altus  second,  as  far  from  Prince,  he  a  head

stretch, where  The  Lark  still  led  by  a  length,  Altus  second, 
half  a  length  from  Esperance,  who  had  run  up  from  eighth 
place.  Paulus  came  up  very  fast  in  the  straight,  and  Peters, 
going  to  sleep  on  "The  Lark,  was  beaten  by  a  short  head. 
This  makes  the  third  race  Peters  has  lost  by  slumbering  in

A  steeplechase,  short  course,  followed,  and  Longwell  was 
an  odds-on  favorite,  his  best  odds  being  3to5.  Cito  was  sec- 
ond choice  at  3  to  1.  Cito  led  Longwell  over  the  far  center 
field  jump  by  two  lengths  and  over  the  water  jump  by  half  a 
length.  They  went  over  the  next  jump  head  and  head,  and 
over  the  next  Cito  led  by  a  neck,  aud  gaining  at  the  jump, 
led  into  the  regular  track  by  two  lengths.  Going  around  the 
turn  to  the  straight  Brown  went  to  the  whip,  and  over  the 
last  jump  Cito  was  first  by  a  length,  Longwell  gaining  fast. 
Cito,  against  the  fence,  was  hemmed  in  and  bumped,  and  im- 
mediately a  cry  of  ''  foul  *'  went  up  from  the  crowd.  It  was 
impossible  for  Cito  to  get  by  Longwell.  Longwell  led  at  the 
finish  by  half  a  length,  Cito  second,  eight  lengths  from  Yo- 
kohl.  The  judges  refused  to  allow  the  foul,  and  the  crowd 
hooted  and  groaned.  Time,  3:41.  If  this  was  not  a  bad  foul 
there  never  was  one  on  a  race  course,  and  the  stewards'  de- 
cision was  not  a  popular  one.

The  Great  Annual  Sale. 

Those  horsemen  who  were  fortuuate  enough  to  attend  the 
last  annual  sale  of  young  stock  from  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock 
Farm  will  be  gratified  to  know  that  there  will  be  auother 
opportunity  of  adding  to  their  horse-breeding  ranks  on  the 
sixth  of  February.  The  sale  will  include  a  number  of  the 
very  choicest  bred  trotting  colts  and  fillies  (standard  and 
registered)  ever  offered,  the  most  fashionable  strains  of  trot- 
ting blood  being  well  represented.  Who  knows  but  some 
Diablos,  Crickets,  W.  Woods  or  colts  like  Free  Coinage  may 
be  picked  up  at  this  sale.  There  has  not  been  a  mare,  colt  or 
filly  (purchased  last  year  at  the  sale)  offered  at  auction  since, 
except  one,  and  that  was  to  close  a  partnership  ;  this  filly  sold 
for  $1,500  since.  Look  out  for  further  particulars  of  this 
sale  and  send  for  catalogues  to  the  auctioneers  at  once.  See- 
advertisement  for  further  particulars.

SPECIAL   DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSOjN. 


Tee  Annual  Meeting  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  will,  in  ac- 
cordance with  tbe  By-Laws,be  held  next  Tnesday,and  though 
I  have  not  received  a  notice  of  the  place  of  gathering  suppose, 
that  as  has  been  tbe  custom  heretofore,  it  will  be  in  tbe  even- 
ing and  t^e  Palace  Hotel  the  location. 

While  I  cannot  agree  with  the  statement  which  appeared 
in  a  daily  paper  not  long  ago,  that  there  was  a  likelihood  of 
a  stormy  time,  it  is  much  to  be  desired  that  there  should  be  a 
full  attendance. 

There  is  a  feeling  among  some  of  the  members  of  the  old 
association  that  there  is  danger  in  tbe  present  situation,  that 
being  the  existence  of  another  club  which  may  throw  all  the 
risk  on  one  side,  the  profit  on  the  otber,  and  in  that  case  the  | 
sufferer  would  be  the  association.  It  is  surely  an  anomalous 
position  for  the  first  and  second  officer  of  both  societies  are 
held  by  the  same  person  and  all  the  otber  positions,  except- 
ing the  directory,  filled  by  the  same  men.  But  until  the  an- 
nual meeting  is  held,  and  the  reports  of  tbe  President,  Secre- 
tary and  Treasurer  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  made  public  so  little 
is  known,  outside  of  official  circles,  that  a  great  deal  is  left  to 
conjecture.  Reports,  of  coarse,  are  rife  that  there  is  a  state 
of  affairs  which  give  cause  for  apprehension  and  that  fore- 
bodings will  not  be  allayed  until  tae  exact  situation  is  made 
manifest. 

It  is  well  known  that  I  am  far  from  approving  all  that  has 
been  done  by  the  managers  of  the  association,  but  am  still 
further  from  entertaining  the  thought  that  there  is  a  disposi- 
tion on  the  part  of  any  of  tbe  officers  to  wreck  tbe  old  for  the 
benefit  of  the  new  organization.  That  there  have  been  large 
expenditures  and  outlays  beyond  what  were  warranted  by  the 
actual  state  of  affairs  is  the  belief  of  many  others  beside  my- 
self, but  that  is  merely  a  difference  of  opinion  which  cannot 
be  definitely  settled  in  favor  of  either  view  until  all  in  rela- 
tion to  these  affairs  is  known.  It  may  prove  that  when  the 
reports  are  presented  that  the  opinions  of  those  who  have 
questioned  the  expediency  of  incurring  so  large  ao  expense 
have  been  based  on  a  wrong  foundation,  and  that  with  more 
correct  information  there  will  be  a  change  in  their  senti- 
ment. 

felt  certainly  behooves  every  member,  who  can  be  present,  to 
attend  the  meeting,  and  take  an  active  part  in  tbe  proceed- 
ings.

Salaries  of  Racing  Officials. — When  people  who  are 
not  fully  informed  in  regard  to  modern  racing,  and  things 
connected  therewith,  are  told  tbe  amounts  paid  in  salaries  to 
racing  officials  there  is  apt  to  be  a  look  of  incredulity,  and 
when  satisfied  that  they  are  not  imposed  upon,  eagerly  seek 
an  explanation  for  the  apparent  extravagance.  "One  hun- 
dred dollars  a  cay  for  a  hundred  or  more  days,  incredible  ! 
is  the  first  exclamation."  At  the  rate  of  thirty  thousand  dol- 
lars a  year  more  than  a  large  majority  of  the  presidents  of 
M-^- United  States  received,  far  more  than  the  chief  justice, 
or  governor  of  tbe  biggest  States  in  the  Union,"  is  apt  to 
follow  when  convinced  that  they  have  been  correctly  in- 
formed. High  salaries  are  associated  with  great  talent, 
superior  skill,  celebrity,  or  at  least  notoriety,  something 
which  raises  recipients  far  above  the  place  of  the  "  common 
herd."  This  giddy  height  insures  a  return  when  the  em- 
ploye is  engaged  to  attract  the  public  as  crowds  will  gather 
to  see  one  who  is  at  the  top  of  the  profession,  the  prize- 
fighter being  nearly  as  good  a  drawing  card  as  a  renowned 
cantatrice,  the  billiard  expert  as  a  lecturer  of  world-wide 
celebrity,  and  an  athlete  of  extraordinary  brawn  and  sup- 
pleness a  more  potent  attraction  than  the  discoverer  of  the 
Nile  or  the  man  who  has  penetrated  far  within  the  bounda- 
ries of  the  Arctic  Circle.  The  question,  however,  demands 
further  explanations  and  is  mystified  with  the  idea  that 
people  attend  the  races  to  witness  the  contests  and  not  for  the 
purpose  of  admiring  those  who  have  the  races  in  charge. 
On  this  point  he  is  set  right  and  while  hiaidea  was  correct  in 
regard  to  the  old-fashioned,  obsolete  sports  which  were  so 
highly  relished  by  past  generations,  the  largest  body  of  the 
spectators  assembled  are  attracted  by  the  opportunity  to 
wager  that  modern  racing  affords,  and  in  order  to  secure 
their  confidence  in  the  squareness  of  tbe  game  the  starter 
must  have  a  standing  which  will  preclude  suspicions.  "Is 
competency  in  this  branch  of  the  business  so  extremely  rare 
then  that  it  is  worthy  of  such  liberal  compensations  aod 
skill  joined  with  integrity  so  unusual  as  to  warrant  excessive 
liberality?"  the  interviewer  submits.  That  is  not  so  difficult 
to  answer,  for  though  the  rarity  is  not  so  pronounced  when 
the  list  of  acknowledged  good  starters  is  consulted,  yet  the  dis- 
agreeableness  of  the  position  is  such  that  a  high  salary  is  all 
that  will  reconcile  a  person  of  ordinary  sensitiveness  to  incur 
the  responsibility  and  the  absolute  certainty  of  encountering 
unmerited  abuse.  Still  if  the  questiorer  i3  fairly  acquainted 
with  the  exoterices  of  racing  and  acute  in  the  line  of  cross- 
examination,  he  will  develop  the  fact  that  good  starters  can 
be  secured  for  less  than  one  hundred  dollars  per  day,  and  if 
he  has  read  the  proceedings  of  the  last  Turf  Congress  he  will 
know  that  that  body  has  fixed  the  salary  of  the  starter  at 
$7,500  per  year — say  fifty  dollars  a  day. 

The  presiding  judge  is  the  next  point  of  inquiry.  He  may 
be  somewhat  amazed  when  he  learns  that  the  presiding  judge 
has,  in  many  respects,,  an  easier  berth  than  the  wieider  of  the 
flag,  and  though  there  are  grave  responsibilities  resting  upon 
the  officer,  it  is  not  quite  so  "  thankless  a  job  "  as  that  of  his 
fellow  official.  Not  so  difficult  to  fill  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
spectators.  A  quick  eye  to  catch  the  slightest  difference  be- 
tween the  horses  as  they  rush  across  the  winning  score  at  the 
rate  of  a  fast  express  train,  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  laws, 
rules  and  precedents  of  racing,  and  executive  ability  of  a 
high  order.  The  possession  of  these  qualities  is  worthy  of  a 
high  salary,  but  whether  that  should  be  fixed  as  high  as  one 
hundred  dollars  per  day  is  for  employers  to  determine. 

But  the  latest  innovation,  entirely  new  so  far  as  I  am  in- 
formed, is  tbe  payment  of  one  hundred  dollars  perdiy  to  each 
of  two  stewards.  To  carry  out  the  analogue,  aod  suppose  that 
a  rigid  questioner  is  determined  to  arrive  at  tbe  reasons  for 
an  outlay  which  appears  so  unduly  extravagant,  tbe  defender 
will  be  seriously  troubled  to  present  bis  case  in  a  light  which 
will  bear  close  investigation.  In  fact,  the  only  excuse  for  the 
employment  of  stewards,  outside  of  those  provided  by  the 
by-laws,  is  that  it  was  necessary  owing  to  the  incapacity  of 
the  regular  stewards  or  inability  to  attend  to  the  business  that 
they  were  elected  to  do. 

When  the  revised  by-laws  and  rules  were  adopted,  Febru- 
ary 16,  1892,  meetings  covering  such  long  periods  as  tbe  one 


which  closed  on  Saturday  last,  were  not  taken  into  considera- 
tion, and  therefore  such  an  inroad  on  tbe  time  of  active  busi- 
ness men  were  not  prepared  for.  The  duties  were  thus  clearly 
expressed:  "The  Board  of  Directors  shall  have  full  control  of 
the  affairs  of  the  association." 

They  shall  arrange  programmes  for  racing  meetings,  shall 
act  as  stewards,  and  assist  the  President  and  Vice-Presidents  in 
the  management  of  the  races.  They  shall  decide  appeals  from 
the  decision  of  the  Judges  and  their  awards  shall  be  final.  * 
*  *  The  Directors  shall  have  power  to  punish  by  fine,  pub- 
lic reprimand  or  suspension,  any  conduct  which  will  bring 
discredit  on  racing."  It  is  also  clear  that  the  Directors  hav- 
ing "full  control  of  the  affairs  of  the  Association"  can  employ 
as  they  see  fit  the  necessary  officers  to  conduct  the  business, 
but  it  is  likewise  plain  that  the  stewards  must  be  members  of 
the  Board.  Even  granting  that  membership  in  the  Board  or 
Association  is  not  required  to  fill  the  place  of  steward,  and 
that  owing  to  either  reason  suggested,  incapacity  or  inability 
to  attend  to  the  duties,  it  is  essential  that  extra  stewards  be 
appointed,  the  question  of  expense  will  be  a  prominent  factor. 
The  presiding  judge  of  the  capacity  indicated  by  the  salary 
paid  his  associates,  patrol  judge,  starter  and  other  assistants, 
would  appear  to  be  a  sufficient  guard  against  ordinary  ras- 
cality, and  that  of  an  extraordinary  kind  is  difficult  to  control 
with  all  the  aids  that  can  be  brought  to  bear.  When  that  is 
suspected,  however,  there  is  relief  inasmuch  as  "  the  Board 
of  Directors  must  be  endowed  with  the  absolute  power,  so  far 
as  is  connected,  with  the  laws  of  the  State  rules  and  usuages 
of  racing,  and  this  Association  awards  them  whatever  is 
necessary  for  the  effectual  promotion  of  the  interests  de- 
pending." In  accordance  with  that  provision  of  the  by- 
laws when  the  judge  and  bis  associates  are  satisfied  that 
there  are  reasons  to  suppose  that  a  person  has  been  doing 
"crooked  work"  without  sufficient  evidence  thereof  to  con- 
vict, the  case  can  be  brought  before  the  Directors  and  an 
end  put  to  the  opportunities  of  the  suspect.  An  occasional 
meeting  of  tbe  Board  will  be  sufficient  to  cover  these  cases 
if  there  should  not  be  a  quorum  present  at  the  track,  al- 
though on  nearly  everyday  I  have  attended  the  races  there 
has  been  the  requisite  number  of  directors  to  take  action, 
and  in  all  probability  a  Board  meeting  called  for  any  eve- 
ning during  tbe  racing  would  ensure  the  majority  required. 

In  all  other  kinds  of  business,  economy  in  expenditure  is 
practiced,  and  while  the  shrewdest  of  business  men  recognize 
that  cheapness  is  not  always  economy,  and  that  real  worth 
must  command  a  remuneration  adequate  to  the  merit  em- 
ployed, no  one  of  that  class  would  tolerate  an  increase  of 
the  force  above  that  which  was  needed  for  an  effective  dis- 
posal of  the  business  on  hand. 

I  am  very  far  from  underrating  the  ability  of  what  may  be 
termed  the  imported  racing  officials.  I  consider  Ferguson 
an  admirable  starter,  and  though  my  preferences  are  for  what 
has  been  termed  tbe  English  and  Australian  methods,  Mr. 
Ferguson  is  at  the  head  of  the  profession  according  to  my 
estimate. 

The  presiding  judge,  Mr.  Eiley,  is  worthy  of  the  highest 
encomiums.  He  has  had  sufficient  practice  to  become  famil- 
iar with  what  may  be  classed  as  the  mechanical  handling  of 
the  races,  is  thoroughly  posted  in  rules  and  customs,  and 
above  all  other  recommendations  an  honest  man. 

Colonel  Chinn  has  been  conversant  with  racingaffairs  from 
boyhood,  in  fact  from  childhood,  as  his  father  was  the  active 
racing  partner  in  the  firm  of  Chinn  &  Boyden,  who  were  on 
the  turf  nearly  half  a  century  ago.  Of  uudaunted  courage, 
straightforward,  and  thoroughly  competent  to  discover  and 
punish  transgressors  there  is  no  question  of  him  being  a  good 
selection. 

James  Rowe,  in  nautical  parlance,  may  be  said  to  have  gone 
from  the  forecastle  to  the  quarter-deck,  and  in  all  tbe  inter- 
mediate stations  "  played  well  his  part,"  and  the  standing  he 
has  at  home  is  sufficient  guarantee  of  his  worth. 

It  may  not  be  very  flattering  to  the  pride  of  Californians  that 
there  is  not  one  of  Native's  birth,  or  long  residence,  who  it 
thought  worthy  of  anything  but  a  subordinate  position  in 
racing  affairs,  and  there  has  been  some  growling  that  a 
"  Native  Son  "  should  ignore  so  completely  tbe  people  of  his 
country.  When  that  was  urged  before  I  answered  that  Mr. 
Williams,  holding  the  opinion  that  the  interests  of  the  asso- 
ciation of  which  he  was  president,  would  be  more  ably  sub- 
served, and  better  protected  by  engaging  foreigners,  he  could 
not  do  otherwise  than  employ  the  best  talent,  wherever  it  was 
located.  It  does  not  effect  that  argument  to  say  that  he  is 
mistaken  in  his  estimate,  so  long  as  he  has  the  belief  he  can- 
not be  bhmed  for  acting  upon  it. 

The  retort,  that  under  the  same  reasoning  his  belief  that 
four  salaries  of  one  hundred  dollars  a  day  each  were  necessary 
to  the  proper  management  of  the  raciog  he  is  justified  in  the 
expenditure.  Very  true,  and  if  a  majority  of  the  members 
of  tbe  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  are  of  the  same  opinion  that  settles  it 
in  favor  of  continuing  tbe  employment. 

I  cannot  coincide  in  that  view  if  even  a  "quorum  "  of  the 
Board  are  on  tbe  other  side,and  should  a  quorum  of  the  mem- 
bers also  signify  their  approval  while  in  the  minority  all 
around, and.of  course,  as  a  believerin  the  democratic  doctrine 
that  a  majority  shall  rule,  acquiesce,  but  as  it  is  also  demo- 
cratic that  a  member  shall  be  accorded  the  privilege  of  dis- 
cussion present  my  argument  on  the  negative  side.  Little  to 
add.  Granting  that  high-salaried  presiding  judge  and  starter 
are  essential  to  the  proper  management  of  a  racing  meeting, 
these,  with  properly  selected  associates,  should  be  sufficient. 
If  my  information  he  correct  that  the  Eastern  stewards  are 
paid  one  hundred  dollars  each  per  day,  for  that  one  item  the 
cost  of  the  late  meeting  is  $9,400.     Comment  is  superfluous.

The  Bow  of  Promise. — By  all  odds  the  finest  rainbow  I 
ever  saw  appeared  on  New  Year's  day  morning  about  S 
o'clock.  Rained  hard  during  the  night  and  this  was  the 
clearing-up  shower.  The  sun  only  a  little  above  the  crest  of 
the  mountains  on  tbe  Contra  Costa  Range  threw  the  rays 
nearly  at  right  angles  to  the  falliog  drops.  The  arch  was 
perfect,  one  leg  of  it  apparently  resting  on  the  bay  to  the 
south  of  Alameda,  the  other  nearly  as  far  north  as  Red  Rock 
thus  covering  several  miles,  aud  the  center  of  he  arch  so 
high  that  it  almost  took  a  perpendicnlar  position.  The 
colors  were  extremely  vivid,  and  from  base  to  summit  not  a 
break  in  the  glory.  It  must  be  accepted  as  a  harbinger  of 
better  times  and  in  the  general  appreciation  of  values,  and 
increased  liveliness  of  business, horses  must  come  in  for  a  share 
of  the  prosperity.  Therain?,  provoking  though  they  have 
been  to  people  who  have  been  forced  to  gallop  their  horses 
through  tbe  mud  of  the  Bay  District,  have  come  opportunely 
and  now,  January  2nd,  enough  has  fallen  to  ensure  a  suffi- 
ciency of  moisture  fora  month  or  so  to  come.  The  break  in 
tbe  rainy  season  may  cover  the  balance  of  the  month  and, 
perhaps,  extend  into  February,  or  should   there  be  still  more 


aqueous  precipitation  during  January,  the  next  lunar  cyclei 
after  cessation,  be  as  favorable  as  anyone  could  desise.  Febru- 
ary is  usuilly  accompanied  with  the  finest  kind  of  weather, 
especially  when  the  preceding  months  have  exceeded  the 
average  quota  of  rainfall. 

That  there  will  be  a  long  list  of  names  when  the  entries 
are  in  for  tbe  Fall  meeting  of  the  Trotting  Horse  Breeders 
come  in  there  is  little  doubt,  and  I  shall  be  disappointed  if  it 
does  not  exceed  in  numbers  that  for  anyone  meeting  hitherto 
heldin  California.  The  rainbow  isnot  tbe  only  base  for  that 
prognostic,  though  I  am  willing  to  accept  it  as  a  favorable 
omen,  as  there  is  a  general  endorsement  of  the  programme,  in 
fact  all  the  owners  and  trainers,  I  have  beard  express  opin- 
ions, unanimously  speak  of  it  in  praise.  Well  worthy  of  en- 
comiums, as  the  classification  is  not  only  well  arranged,  but 
the  cost  of  engaging  is  reduced  to  a  sum  which  will  come  with- 
in the  means  of  those  who  have  had  to  bittle  against  the 
shafts  of  a  goodly  share  of  adverse  fortune.  Let  us  accept  the 
bow  of  promise  with  a  full  reliance  in  its  cheering  augury.

"LongDistance  Riding,"  by  Captain  Charles  King,  U. 
S.  A.,  is  the  title  of  a  very  well  written  article  in  the  Cosmo- 
politan, January  number.  In  that  he  lauds  some  of  the  ex- 
ploits of  the  U.  S.  cavalry,  and  with  good  reasons,  but  de- 
nounces long  distance  racing  in  tbe  following  words  : 

"Time  was  in  America  when  nothing  less  than  four-mile 
heats  would  satisfy  the  lovers  of  thoroughbred  horseflesh,  and 
the  veterans  still  prate  of  the  days  of  Lexington  and  Le- 
compte  and  the  glories  of  the  old  Metairie.  It  was  tbe  privi- 
lege>  yet  hardly  the  pleasure,  of  the  writer  to  witness  the  last 
great  four-mile  heats  ridden  over  the  Metairie  in  2^ew  Or- 
leans ;  after  seeing  the  breakdown  of  Conductor  and  tbe  piti- 
able condition  of  such  beautiful  racers  as  Anna  B.  and  Mad- 
am Dudley  after  their  fight  to  a  finish  of  sixteen  measured 
miles,  he  was  thankful,  indeed,  that  it  was  the  last.  Racing 
of  that  character  seems  but  a  peg  or  two  above  cock  or  dog 
fighting.  Contests  for  supremacy  that  result  in  collapse  are, 
or  should  be,  things  of  tbe  past,  and  it  is  one  of  the  glories  of 
American  cavalry  that,  however  often  it  may  have  been  called 
upon  to  make  long-distance  rides — frequently,  iudeed,  to  tbe 
rescue  of  beleagured  and  imperiled  humanity — the  trooper 
and  his  mount  have  generally  come  in  at  the  homestretch  tit 
for  business  and  full  of  fight." 

Notwithstanding  Captain  King's  antipathy  to  heats  of  four 
miles, it  is  beyond  question  that  if  longdistance  racing  had 
never  been  known  cavalry  horses  which  were  capable  of  mak- 
ing the  forced  marches  he  describes  would  not  have  been 
forthcoming,  and  without  tbe  blood  of  famous  four- cullers 
never  reach  the  homestretch  ofsuch  miles  as  are  given  in  evi- 
dence. European  governments  have  fostered  racing  for  ih 
express  purpose  of  obtaining  better  horses  for  their  cavalry, 
France  importing  some  of  the  best  blood  of  England  for  gov- 
ernment haras,  stationed  stallions  in  various  pans  of  tbe 
country  to  some  at  low  prices  approved  mares,  and  awarded 
prizes  for  the  part-thoroughbred  animals  which  were  of  the 
type  that  was  demanded.  "None  but  thoroughbreds  do  it 
quite  well  "  was  the  remark  of  Fanny  Kemble  when  she  was 
brought  in  "touch"  with  them  on  the  South 
Corolina  plantations,  and  though  the  royal 
strains,  without  base  admixture,  are  superior  for 
saddle  purposes,  which  entail  cross  country  work 
plenty  of  them  of  size  aod  stamina  "for  heavy  regiments. 
Under  the  patronage  of  these  old  veterans  who  still  prate  of 
Lexington  and  Lecompte,  and  the  still  older  who  warm  into 
words  which  would  be  gross  scandal  to  represent  by  such  a 
term,  when  Boston  and  Fashion,  Reel  and  La  brei  Reine 
and  many  other  grand  four-milers  of  the  olden  days  are 
mentioned,  tbe  turf  enjoyed  tbe  reputation  of  a  beneficial 
institution  not  alone  as  the  means  of  "glorious  recreation," 
but  also  for  the  only  really  serviceable  test  of  superiority,  that 
of  long-distance  racing.  "Before  tbe  war,"  racing  was  re- 
stricted, practically,  to  the  States  which  either  joined  the 
Confederacy,  or  gave  "aid  and  comfort"  to  that  cause,  and 
the  consequence  was  that  Southern  cavalry  was  superior  to 
that  of  the  North. 

When  I  lived  at  Atwood  Place,  near  Chicago,  I  kept  two 
horses  belonging  lo  General  Sheridan,  and  one  which  his 
brother  owned.  The  black  horse  which  carried  the  famous 
fighter  in  his  memorable  ride,  celebrated  in  song  and  story, 
was  one  of  the  party,  a  grey,  captured  from  General  Breckin- 
ridge, the  other  of  the  General's  horses.  The  grey  was  thor- 
oughbred, a  son  of  the  four-miler  Grey  Eagle,  and  had  been 
the  favorite  charger  of  tbe  Kentuckian. 

It  did  not  require  an  expert  to  discover  that  the  form  of 
the  grey  was  far  superior  to  that  of  the  black  when  5peed  and 
endurance  were  theguage,  and  when  I  called  Colonel  Sheri- 
dan's attention  to  a  comparison  of  their  points  he  not  only 
agreed  witb  me  that  to  the  eye  there  was  manifest  superiority, 
but  added  the  more  valuable  testimony  that  when  on  tbe 
plains  there  was  not  a  horse  in  his  command  which  could 
cope  with  the  highly-bred  grey. 

That  either  in  a  chase  after  antelope  or  any  other  diver- 
sions of  the  camp,  the  sou  of  Grey  Eagle  carried  off'  tbe 
honors.  That  there  are  thoroughbreds  now  that  are  the 
equal  of  the  greatest  of  the  oldtime  four-milers  to  race  at  long 
distances  is  my  firm  belief,  though  with  just  as  strong  con- 
viction that  the  system  of  racing  now  in  vogue  will  end  in 
palpable  degeneration. 

The  height  of  a  breeder's  ambition  will  be  to  r°ar  an  :mi- 
mal  which  can  run  a  "  Derby  di  tai.ee  "  at  a  very  high  rate 
of  speed,  and  to  secure  that  speed  in  the  parents  will  be  the 
main  test  that  form  which  is  a  token  of  endurance  little 
heeded.  To  guard  against  loss,  should  he  fail  in  his  foremost 
desire,  a  flying  sprinter  will  be  tbe  object,  well  aware  that  a 
horse  which  can  run  five  furlongs  in  very  fast  lime  is  far  more 
desirable  than  .me  that  would  be  at  the  ''top  of  the  heap" 
for  distances  which  are  never  (or  so  nearly  that  it  is  equiva- 
lent to  abrogation)  found  in  a  modern  programme.

Trustee — A  letter  from  "A.  Horseman,"'  Lo*  Angeles, 
brings  the  request  for  inform  itioo  iu  relation  to  the  pedigree 
of  Fred  Warner's  Trustee.  An  advertisement,  published  in 
1860,  gives:  "Trustee  is  six  years  old  on  the  4th  of  May 
next,  a  chestnut  sorrel,  15J  hands  high,  sired  by  imp. 
Trustee,  dam  American  Doe,  she  by  Daniel  Haight's  Pay- 
master, he  by  old  Mambrino,  aod  old  Mambrino  by  imp. 
Messenger."  This  is  unquestionably  the  hon*e  though  the 
advertisement  is  signed  F.  Werner.  The  advertisement  also 
contained  tbe  notice  of  Rattler,  aod  one  paragraph  reads: 
"The  above  horses  were  imported  by  the  undersigned,  being 
selected  from  the  beat  stock  of  the  Eastern  Slates.  They  are 
trotters,  selected  with  special  attention  to  beauty,  strength 
and  speed,  and  are  well  worthy  of  tbe  attention  of  lov 
thoroughbred  stock,"

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


The  get  of  Director  have  won  $105,769. 

Abion's  stud  fee  is  now   $500.    Two  years  ago  it   was 
$2,500.  

John  KELLY  has  given  six  trotters  and  pacers  records  bet- 
ter than  2:12. 


If  a  stallion  will  transmit  his  good  qualities,  why  don't  he 
transmit  his  defects? 


Ford's  Belmont,  by  Williamson's  Belmont,  is  the  sire  of 
the  dam  of  Mischief,  2:22V- 

It  is  reported   that  Hal    Dillard,  2:07f,  will  bs  in  Gold- 
smith's hands  next  season. 


Heat>  in  the  2:10  or  better  list  have  been  trotted  or  paced 
over  fifty-six  different  tracks. 

Sable  Wilkes' sons  and  daughters  won  more  stakes  the 
past  season  than  any  other  sire's. 

Eighteen  out  of  twenty-three  trotters  in  the  2:10  class 
made  their  records  to  bike  sulkies. 

Adonis,  2:1  U,  has  changed  hands  again.  This  time  he 
goes  to  James  Potter,  of  Providence. 

En  looking  over  the  list  of  2:30  performers  it  is  remarkable 
how  many  California-bred  ones  appear. 

Jamb?  Golden  will  campaign  Norhawk,  2:204,  by  Noival, 
2:14;,  oat  of  Sontag  Mohawk,  next  year. 

Remtmber  the  sale  of  the  Valensin  horses  and  Palo  Alto 
bred  broodmares  takes  place  on  the  loth  of  this  month. 

The  man  who  purchased  the  yearling  pacer  Rosedale,  2:22, 
by  Sidney,  at  the  recent  Tattersalls'  sale,  will  endeavor  to 
c  invert  the  youngster  to  the  trotting  gait. 

Kn'apsack  McCirty  will  train  the  green  Anteeos  for  H. 
S.  Henry  nexc  jeason.  At  one  time  he  was  accounted  one  of 
the  best  trotting  horse  trainers  in  the  country. 

Horses  over  twelve  years  old  often  suffer  from  toothache, 
which  prevents  mastication  and  causes  poor  condition.  Every 
horse  should  be  examined  annually  by  a  veterinary  dentist. 

Atlantaline,  weanling  by  Woodline,  2:19,  and  out  of  the 
dam  of  Alix,  2H)7f,  and  Ataline  (1),  2:33},  has  been  pur- 
chased bv  W.  A.  Paxton  Jr.,  Omaha,  of  Woodline  Farm. 
Price,  $1,000.  

Summit  View  Farm,  Verona,  N.  Y.,  has  purchased  the 
black  mare  Bertie  Clay,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  dam  by  Almont  ; 
second  dam  Rosa  Clay  (dam  of  Capoul,  2:28),  by  American 
Clay,  in  foal  to  Director. 

The  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  crop  of  yearlings  by  Stam- 
boul,  Geo.  Norval  and  Bay  Rose  iocludes  some  royally-bred 
individuals,  and  entries  for  the  Occident  Slake  to  be  trotted 
in  1896  will  include  all  of  them. 


Senator  Stewart,  of  Nevada,  has  bought  from  Hon. 
'  Walter  1.  Hayes,  of  Iowa,  the  bay  mare  Satilla,  by  Almont 
!  Rattler.  She"  has  a  record  of  2:24  made  this  season.  The 
i  get  of  Almont  Rattler  are  uniformly  handsome  and  nicely 
|  gaited,  and  make  ideal  road  horses.  Satilla  will  be  rechrist- 
i  ened  Silver  Bow. 

On  Tuesday,  January  2nd,  Constable  Buley,  of  Lodi,  sold 
at  constable's  sale  three  trotting  horses  belonging  to  Dan 
McCarty,  the  noted  raceman,  to  satisfy  a  judgment  obtained 
by  his  trainer,  M.  Costello.  The  horses  sold  very  low,  the 
j  best  bringing  only  $105.  McCarty's  creditors  are  getting  tired 
of  promises,  it  seems.        

A.  A.  Bonner,  New  York,  has  traded  the  black  stallion 
!  Newbold,  by  Kentucky  Prince,  out  of  a  sister  to  Dexter,  for 
a  two-year  old  filly  bv  Ansel,  out  of  Music,  2:21,  and  a  three- 
year-old  filly  by  Nutbourne  out  of  Daybreak,  sister  to  Noon- 
time, 2:20V.  Newbold  will  be  placed  on  the  stud  at  Robert 
Bonner's  farm  near  TarrytowD,  N.  Y. 

The  club  house  and  all  the  stables  of  the  Pittsburg  Driv- 
ing Park  Association  at  Homewood  Park  were  destroyed  by 
fire  last  Tuesday  morning.  The  property  belonged  to  a  syn- 
dicate that  purchased  it  two  weeks  ago  at  foreclosure  sale  for 
$300,000.  It  is  now  almost  certain  that  there  will  be  no 
Grand  Circuit  meeting  in  Pittsburgnow. 

Directum  wears  a  ten-ounce  shoe  in  front;  it  is  wide 
and  beveled,  with  stub  calks  on  heel — lengthwise,  like  we  put 
on  ice-calks.  His  hind  shoe  is  two  and  one-half  ounces.  It 
is  flat  at  the  toe  and  half  round  on  the  sides,  both  of  which 
are  the  same  length.  Alix  wears  a  six-ounce  shoe  forward 
and  four  behind,  all  smooth  and  plain. 

Director  is  the  only  horse  that  has  sired  both  a  pacing 
and  a  trotting  king.  Directum  has  since  proved  that  he  is 
the  fastest  horse  on  the  track  at  either  gait.  He  has  defeated 
Alix,  2:07^,  the  trotting  race  queen.  He  has  defeated  Mascot 
2:04,  the  pacing  champion,  and  his  latest  victory  was  over 
Saladin,  the  champion  pacing  race  stallion. 

Raven  Wilkes,  2:1SA,  will  get  a  record  of  2:12  in_lS94, 
says  the  Western  Horseman.  This  horse  is  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15},  dam  Lady  Maud,  2:23i,  by  Rock  wood  1467;  second 
dam  Lady  Clark,  by  Kisbar,  2:27$,  son  of  Hambletonian  10 ; 
third  dam  by  Hambletonian  10  ;  fourth  dam  Sherlook  mare, 
by  Young  Morrill  118,  sire  of  Fearnaught,  2:23i. 

W.  H.  Snyder,  of  the  El  Dorado  Farm,  Ponghkeepsie,  says 
says  he  fails  to  find  any  note  in  any  of  the  turf  papers  of  the 
record  of  Pansy  Blossom.  He  says  he  gave  her  a  record  of 
2:28A  at  the  Duchess  County  Fair  in  September.  She  is  a 
black  filly,  three  years  old,  by  Albert  W.,  out  of  Pansy,  2:241-, 
bv  Berlin  2514.     The  record  was  made  in  a  race. 


Electioneer  is  the  sire  of  the  dam?  of  eight  2:30  perform- 
ers for  18a3,  viz:  Balston,  2:29};  Daylight,  2:26|;  Green- 
laoder  Girl,  2:21 ;  Kiogmont,  2:28|;  Lady  Juno,  2:30  ;  New- 
port, 2:271  ;  Kaolo,  2:28}  and  Rosita,  2:27*. 

Edenk,  2:1?U,  has  not  had  a  harness  on  siuce  she  came 
from  Los  Angeles,  and  seems  to  enjoy  her  long  rest  in  com- 
fort. Andy  McDowell,  her  proud  owner  is  satisfied  she  will 
lead  the  way  for  the  2:10  brigade  next  year. 

F.  M.  Day's  extremely  well-bred  Red  Wilkes — Dictator 
bullion,  Dictatns,  will,  after  closing  bis  season  at  the  stud  at 
the  Belmont  Stock  Farm,  be  given  a  fast  record.  His  owner 
is  already  gelling  a  list  of  mares  for  him. 

Every  horseman  with  whom  we  have  conversed  speaks 
in  the  highest  terms  of  the  programme  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  as  published  in  this  is- 
sue.   The  entry  list  promises  to  be  a  large  one. 

K.  O'Grady,  of  the  Hobart  Stock  Farm,  contemplates 
holding  a  sale  of  trotters  in  the  near  future.  In  the  paddocks 
on  thiajustly  celebrated  farm,  this  well  and  favorably-known 
horseman  has  collected  some  splendidly-bred  individuals. 

Budd  Doble  will  train  Regal  Nelson,  Mrs.  C.  R.  Noyes' 
(of  Boston)  two-year-old  son  of  Nelson,  2:09,  and  Marinette, 
by  Director,  2:17;  grandam  Pantalette  (dam  of  Epaulet,  2:19, 
etc.),  by  Prioceps;  next  dam  Florence,  by  Volunteer,  in 
1894.  

The  pacing  mare  Kate  Eaton,  2:19},  had  three  foals  before 
her  speed  was  developed.  The  mare  is  eight  years  old,  and 
made  her  record  October  1 4th  last,  at  Emporia,  Kan.  She 
was  sired  by  Frank  Eaton  (son  of  Robert  Whaley),  dam  by 
Buck  Smart. 

E.  D.  Houston,  a  reporter  on  the  Manchester  (N.  H.) 
1'oion,  who  wai expelled  by  the  Granite  Ciiy  Trotting  Club 
on  July  23,  1892,  for  writing  an  exposure  of  certain  races, 
was  reinstated  at  the  latt  meetingof  the  Board  of  Review  of 
the  National  Trotting  Association. 

We  are  informed  on  good  authority  that  Millard  Sanders 
will  not  go  to  ine  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  until  the 
fifiM-nth  of  this  month,  He  will  have  some  promising  young- 
sters by  Steinway,  2:25},  Chas.  Derby,  2:20,  and  Prince  Red, 
to  handle.     W.  Wood,  2:07,  is  Uoking  strong  and  rugged. 

On  paper  it  has  always  looked  strange  that  the  stallion  St. 
Elmo,  record  2:30,  by  Alexander's  Abdallah,  never  got  a  2:30 
trotter.  He  hat,  however,  a  considerable  number  of  produc- 
ing daughters,  and  it  is  reported  that  a  green  four-yenr-old 
tilly  by  Alcazar,  2:241,  out  of  a  mare  by  him  is  very  fast. 

The  new  performer  Bob  Ford,  2:29},  was  bred  hy  D.  K. 
Edelblute,  ot  Keatx,  K:in  ,  and  is  by  Rocky  Ford,  dam  by 
John  Howe,  thoroughbred  son  of  Orlando.  His.  sire  was 
bred  by  the  same  gentleman,  and  is  by  Almont  Prince,  dam 
Fanny  Ross,  by  Alexander's  Elwin  Forrest;  second  dam 
the  celebrated  oiii  mare  Bacchante  (dam  of  Sheldon  Messen- 
ger, grandam  of  Troy  and  third  dam  of  Meander,  2:26$, 
Nugget,  2:25},  and  Egmonl),  by  Downing's  Bay  Messenger. 


Alamo,  the  Steinway  mare  that  got  a  record  of  2:29$,  is  out 
of  Inex  (sister  to  Inez,  2:22}),  by  Sweepstakes  27S,  fecond 
dam  Dolly  Bull,  by  Kentucky  Bertram!,  third  dim  Nancy 
(dam  of  Nellie  Horton.  dam  of  Fancy,  2:24-]),  by  American 
Star  14;  fourth  dam  by  Gridley's  Roebuck.  Alamo's  brother 
Stilleco  14,346  is  one  of  the  most  promising  young  stallions 
on  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm. 


Aaron  Pennington,  by  Tipperary  (son  of  Ringgold),  dam 
by  imp.  Albion,  grauddam  by  imp.  Leviathan,  was  bred  by 
H.  Price  McGrath,  Lexington,  Ky.,  but  now  owned  at  Ful- 
ton, Mo.,  is  the  sire  of  Bee,  2:244,  owned  by  George  Keck  ; 
Gypsy  Girl,  2:22;  Harry  Pennington,  2:27*,  and  of  the  dam 
of  Dan  Jennings,  2:25.  He  is  strictly  running  bred  and  sur- 
passes any  thoroughbred  sire  of  his  age  siring  trotters. 

D.  N.  Herger,  Great  Bend,  Kan.,  has  purchased  the  fol- 
lowing trotters :  Sable  Guy,  bay  stallion,  by  Sable  Wilkes, 
dim  Linda  Wilkes,  by  Guy  Wilkes ;  second  dam  Atlanta,  by 
The  Moor  ;  third  dam  Minnehaha,  the  great  producer  ;  Bon- 
nie Lee,  bay  stallion,  by  Bonnie  McGregor,  dam  Dazzle 
(double  producer),  by  Happy  Medium  ;  Mabel  L.,  bay  mare, 
by  Winewood  4S74,  dam  Kate  Wood,  by  Path6nder,  Jr. 
2901,  and  Maud  L.,  bay  mare,  by  Interpreter  3964,  dam  Zip, 
by  Dauntless. 

The  training  of  the  colts  got  by  the  former  champion  trot- 
ting stallion  Palo  Alto  demonstrates  clearly  that  in  the  death 
of  that  famous  horse  this  great  stock  farm  met  with  an  al- 
most irreparable  loss.  It  is  stated  that  he  sired  all  told  but 
thirty-three,  and  of  these  all  that  have  been  harnessed  show 
such  good  trotting  action  that  the  superintendent  has  ex- 
pressed his  opinion  that  2:30  will  be  within  easy  reach  of  all 
of  them.  They  are  more  uniformly  trotters  than  the  same 
number  sired  by  Electioneer  or  by  any  other  stallion  which 
has  ever  been  owned  at  Palo  Alto. 


The  year  1893  has  been  a  year  of  great  events  in  the  trot- 
ting world,  in  most  respects  greater  than  any  of  its  prede- 
cessors. Scarcely  any  of  the  records  that  were  the  champion 
records  at  the  beginning  of  the  year  remain  unfractured.  The 
stallion  record,  the  four-year-old  record  and  the  race  record 
were  all  broken  by  one  great  horse  in  one  great  mile.  The 
three-year-old  record  has  been  reduced  to  what  was  but  a  few 
years  ago  the  world's  record  for  any  age.  Two  of  the  greatest 
records  stand,  however,  unchallenged — Nancy  Hank's  2:04 
and  Arion's  2:10J,  made  as  a  two-year-»ld. 


A  sale  of  trotters  was  held,  December  18,  at  New  Orleans, 
and  average  prices  were  good.  The  highest  figures  were  rea- 
lized for  Uhlan,  two-year-old  colt  by  Electricity,  2:17$,  sold 
for  $700  to  Dr.  J.  W.  Martin,  St.  Landry  Parish,  La.  The 
chestnut  two-year-old  61ly  Laconia,  by  William  L,  brought 
$500;  sold  to  C.  W.  Bocage,  Honwa,  La.  Marguerite,  chest- 
nut mare,  by  Nulbreaker,  was  sola  for  $480  to  R.  S.  Ricks, 
New  Orleans.  Ronn,  two-year-old  filly,  by  BUie  Bird,  went 
for  $305  to  A.  W.  Moflett,  of  New  Orleans.  Forty-one  head 
sold  for  $7,265.  The  great  majority  of  the  offerings  were  foals 
of  1891  and  1892. 

Z.  F.  Rccker,  Lompoc,  Cal.,  sends  us  the  summary  of  a 
race  trotted  at  Sin  Luis  Obispo,  September  29th,  won  bv  his 
stallion  Gray  wood,  by  Jim  Mulvenna,  son  of  Nutwood,  who 
took  the  (first,  third  and  fifth  heats  in  2:31,  2:27  and  2:29}, 
Monroe,  by  Monroe  Chief,  2:ltfJ,  winning  the  fourth  in  2:29jf, 
and  Edna  B.,  pacer,  the  second,  in  2:30.  Graywood  is  out  of 
a  mare  by  the  runner  Black  Prince,  son  of  Young  Steeldtist; 
second  dam  a  mare  brought  from  Missouri  by  Jesse  and 
Frank   James  who  got  her  in    Kentucky.     She  ran   several 

food  races  in  California  before  heingbred.     Monroe  is  out  of 
*ady  Tiffany,  by  Gibraltar,  and   both    horses  are   good  per- 
formers. 


Monboe  SALISBURY  said  recently  :  "  I  like  the  trotting 
horse  business  better  than  ever,  for  I  know  it  is  just  where  it 
should  have  been  years  ago.  There  never  was  any  reason  why 
the  progeny  of  a  horse  with  a  splendid  pedigree  should  sell 
for  more  than  those  with  a  mark.  Breeders  are  beginning  to 
realize  this,  and  already  we  can  see  greater  progress  toward 
the  development  of  speed  in  the  trotting  ranks  than  ever. 
Owners  are  taking  their  coats  off  and  are  going  to  make  their 
stock  earn  oats  in  races.  They  have  become  tired  of  seeing 
success  follow  those  who  have,  by  using  good  horse  sense,  won 
all  the  purses.  The  man  who  brings  horses  to  market  without 
any  record  or  without  having  them  developed  will  find  before 
one  season  is  over  he  is  in  the  wrong  business;  there  is  no 
room  for  him  in  these  progressive  times.  Breeders  must 
work  intelligently  and  study  diligently  all  the  requirements  of 
the  light-harness  industry  to  succeed." 

Lady  Stout,  a  chestnut  filly  by  Mambrino  Patchen  and 
out  of  Puss  Prall,  was  the  first  three-year-old  to  beat  2:30. 
Not  only  was  her  sire  the  greatest  representative  of  the  Mam- 
brino family,  but  her  dam  possessed  the  elements  that  ren- 
dered her  in  time  one  of  the  greatest  of  broodmares.  Three 
of  Puss  Prall's  daughters  trotted  in  the  2:30  list,  and  five  of 
her  sires  are  sires  of  speed.  Lady  Stout  was  bred  by  John 
Stout,  of  Midway,  Ky.,  who  started  her  in  her  first  race  as  a 
two-year-old  at  Lexington  in  1873,  which  she  won  in  2:48*. 
That  was  a  time  when  no  two-year-old  trotted  below  2:40. 
On  the  strength  of  this  race  she  was  purchased  by  Richard 
Penistan,  a  prominent  turfman  in  those  days,  whose  deatb  oc- 
curred in  Xew  York  during  the  past  summer.  He  started  her 
in  a  race  for  three-year-olds  at  Lexington,  October  1,  1874, 
and  after  losing  the  first  heat  to  Blackwood  Jr.,  a  son  of  the 
stallion  that  still  held  the  three-year-old  record,  Lady  Stout 
went  on  and  won  the  race  in  2:30},  2:29  and  2:32i. 

A  Kittaning,  Pa.,  dispatch  says  the  barn  of  the  Keystone 
Stock  Farm  was  totally  destroyed  by  fire  Saturday  morning, 
together  with  twenty-two  horses.  This  royal  breeding  es- 
tablishment was  owned  by  the  Bowser  Brothers,  well  known 
to  Erie  County  horsemen,  and  this  year  its  success  was  won- 
derful, and  the  reputation  it  earned  placed  it  on  an  equal 
fooling  with  the  biggest  farms  in  Pennsylvania.  The  most 
valuable  horse  destroyed  was  the  four-year-old  stallion 
Chimesbrino,  2:28£,  who  was  owned  jointly  by  Village  Farm, 
and  the  Bowser  Brothers.  This  horse  won  all  the  races  he 
started  in  this  year  excepting  one,  and  he  showed  a  trial  in 
2:20  and  possessed  such  great  speed  that  it  was  confidently 
expected  that  he  would  beat  2:15  next  season.  He  was  an 
extremely  handsome  stallion  and  won  many  first  prizes  at 
Pennsylvania  fairs  last  year.  Chimesbrino  was  by  Chimes, 
out  of  Duchess,  by  Mambrino  King.  Other  horses  destroyed 
were  Montaigne,  2:27:1  ;  Juanita,  2:29} ;  Halleck,  the  fast 
yearling  by  Montaigne,  Major  Mont,  Ozelma  and  J.  G. 
Wilkes  and  Jay  Gee,  belonging  to  J.  F.  Bates  of  Leecbburg, 
Pa.  The  fire  is  attributed  to  incendiarism.  The  loss  is  $20,- 
000,  insured  for  about  $5,000. 

The  recent  interview  in  the  Christmas  issue  of  Clark's 
Horse  Review  with  the  owner  of  George  Wilkes — a  gentle- 
man who  bought  him  as  a  three-year-old  and  kept  him  for 
twenty-five  years — leaves  no  doubt  that  the  great  sire  of  trot- 
ters has  as  fair  a  license  to  be  called  a  pacer  as  a  trotter.  Mr. 
Simmons  unequivocally  says  that  Geo.  Wilkes  was  a  faster 
pacer  than  anybody's  horse — not  double-gaited,  but  a  pacer 
pure  and  true — and  this  assertion  will  forever  put  a  stop  to 
the  interrogation  points  which  have  punctuated  the  rhetoric 
of  the  many  tuif  writers  who  have  wondered  why  so  many  of 
the  Wilkes'  took  to  pacing.  Over  a  third  of  George  Wiifees* 
descendants  in  the  2:30  list  are  pacers,  and  when  we  consider 
tbe  fact  that  he  stood  all  his  life  in  a  trotting  state,  and  per- 
haps was  not  bred  to  a  purely  pacing  mare  in  his  life,  we 
may  form  some  idea  of  the  intensity  of  the  pacing  instinct  in 
his  breeding.  A  President  of  the  United  States,  it  is  related, 
once  spelled  scissors  with  two  z's,  and  when  told  of  his  mis- 
take asked,  if  the  way  he  spelled  it  didn't  spell  scissors,  what 
did  it  spell  ?  If  Geo.  Wilkes,  being  a  pacer  and  getting 
pacers,  is  not  a  pacing  sire,  what  is  he? 

The"  truth  of  the  matter"  is  well  summed  up  by  "Icono- 
clast," in  the  Stock  Farm  as  follows :  "  The  very  promising 
youngsters  and  even  aged  horses  that  have  speed,  but  are  not 
handicapped  hy  records,  would,  were  money  to  be  had  as  it 
was  a  year  or  two  ago,  sell  for  first-rate  prices.  But  when 
crowded  on  to  the  market  at  a  time  when  there  is  no  money 
in  circulation  and  when  it  is  all  but  impossible  to  discount 
gilt  edged  paper  in  any  bank  it  is  not  reasonable  to  expect 
good  prices.  A  horse  that  can  earn  money  on  the  track  has, 
even  now,  value  in  proportion  to  his  earning  capacity.  If 
the  people  were  to  put  up  town  lots,  blue  grass  farms,  bank 
stock  or  almost  any  other  commodity,  and  force  sales  of  them 
as  sales  of  horses  have  been  forced  during  the  last  few  months, 
they  would  find  that  prices  would  be  even  more  unsatisfac- 
tory than  the  prices  realized  for  trotters.  It  is  folly,  there- 
fore, to  attribute  entirely  to  overproduction  what  is  to  a  con- 
siderable extent  the  result  of  extremely  hard  times.  In  the 
sale  of  the  really  desirable  trotting  horses,  the  hard  times  are 
just  now  a  much  greater  retarding  factor  than  over-produc- 
tion, because  the  number  of  these  animals  is  limited  and  not 
more  than  sufficient  to  supply  the  legitimate  demand  in  pe- 
riods of  reasonable  prosperity. 

Nearly  all  of  the  great  turf  performers  present  some 
striking  characteristic  or  show  marked  individuality.  Nancy 
Hanks,  Fantasy  and  Harrietta  are  like  great  dogs  in  their 
stalls,  and  permit  of  the  most^familiar  handling  without  pro- 
test. Directum  it  noted  tor  his  stolidity,  and  great  crowd  at  the 
New  York  HorseShow  not  affecting  him  in  the  slightest  de- 
gree. Alix  is  one  of  the  most  inquisitive  fillies  now  on  the 
turf,  not  the  slightest  incident  escaping  her  attention.  Sunol 
was  an  extremely  nervous  mare  and  at  the  sound  of  Marvin's 
voice  would  fairly  tremble  with  excitement  and  anger.  The 
starters  in  the  great  freefor  all  at  Washington  Park  were  a 
most  striking  lot  of  equines,  no  two  being  alike  in  any  par- 
ticular. Alix  came  up  the  stretch  with  a  most  peculiar, 
mincing  6tep,  her  head  nodding  at  every  stride.  Pixley  car- 
ried her  head  very  low,  and  from  her  peculiar  formation  it 
appeared  as  though  her  front  legs  were  about  a  foot  shorter 
than  her  hind  ones.  Lord  Clinton  was  a  perfect  type  of  one 
of  the  early  harness  performers,  such  as  are  made  familiar 
throngh  old-lime  prints.  Little  Albert,  although  a  sick 
horse,  had  a  regal  appearance  iu  scoring;  Hulda  was  a  per- 
fect little  lady  in  every  movement;  Greenleaf  scored  with  the 
excessive  actiun  of  the  Wilkes;  Ryland  T.  and  Walter  E., 
when  not  in  full  motion,  skipped  and  ambled  like  a  pair  of 
bronchos.  Alvin  bounded  along  like  the  animals  hitched  to 
the  harrows,  while  Nightingale  was  finer  than  any  of  her 
competitors  and  skimmed  the  ground  like  a  swallow.

THE  SADDLE. 


N.  S.  Halt,  is  credited  with  winning  $1,000  over  the  vic- 
tory of  Clacquer  Tuesday. 

A  carload  of  horses  from  the  City  of  Mexico  arrived 
Tuesday  at  the  Oakland  race  track. 

The  sons  and  daughters  of  Wildidle  won  over  $14,000  at 
the  Blood  Horse  Association  meeting. 


Thehe  were  just  350  horses  that  participated  in  the  races 
of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Association. 


Jockey  Ratotjb's  broken  leg    is   knitting  fast,   and  the 
vouth  is  doiDg  altogether  well  at  the  German  Hospital. 

L.  J.  Kose's  good  Gano  filly,  Gladiola,  has  been  put  in  the 
hands  of  the  veteran  trainer,  Jim  Garland,  for  training. 


Nick  S.  Hat.t,  has  more  than  won  out  his  filly  Norlee, 
formerly  Babe.  He  only  paid  §305  'for  the  Prince  of  Nor- 
folk's daughter.  

At,  ft  is  was  giving  Gordius  and  Amida  eight  pouods 
Tuesday  in  the  last  race,  but  was  not  given  more  than  a  five- 
pound  beating.  

Babe's  name  has  been  changed  to  Norlee,  and  Monday 
she  ran  just  as  well  under  her  brand-new  cognomen  as  she 
did  under  the  old. 

The  Darebin — Hirondelle  colt  has  been  named  Artist, 
and  Tuesday  ran  in  L.  C.  White's  new  colors  under  that 
name,  finishing  fourth. 

More  money  was  lost  on  Gordius  in  the  second  race  last 
Saturday  than  on  any  horse  that  has  run  here  during  the  past 
week,  in  all  probability.  

"Will you  be  out  at  Bay  District  Monday?"  he  was  asked. 
"  Yes,"  he  responded  gloomily,  "suppose  so.  I've  been  out 
every  lime  I've  been  there." 

Topgallant,  formerly  owned  by  Matt  Storn,  won  a  seven- 
furlong  race  at  New  Orleans  Tuesday  in  1:29|.  Silverado, 
another  Californian,  was  second. 


Tom  Bally,  the  well-known  jockey-trainer,  has  added  to 
his  string  such  good  ones  as  J.  H.  Miller's  Romulus,  Reis  A 
Ashe's  Sir  Reel  and  Sam  Cooper's  Miss  Fletcher.  Romulus 
will  not  be  started  again  until  the  track  is  dry  and  fast,  as  he 
is  not  good  in  heavy  going. 

Quite  a  discussion  arose  at  Bay  District  track  Monday  as 
to  whether  New  Year's  was  a  holiday.  Finally  a  bet  was 
made  and  the  matter  left  to  By.  "  What !  "  said  he,  after 
Green  Hock  and  Minnie Elkins  were  beaten;  "no  indeed,  it's 
anything  but  a  Holly  day." 

"Bone  Doctor"  Bobbins  holds  the  record  at  the  Blood 
Horse  meeting  as  a  trainer  of  winners.  No  less  than  twenty, 
one  times  were  :he  Schreiber  horses  first  past  the  post.  On 
one  afternoon  during  the  meeting  three  won  and  one  ran  sec- 
ond, which  is  also  a  record. 

At  the  recent  election  of  the  Washington  Park  Jockey 
Club,  Chicago,  the  directors  elected  to  serve  nntil  1893  were: 
George  H.  Wheeler,  Norman  B.  Ream,  James  W.  Oakley, 
Charles  J.  Barnes,J.  Henry  Norton, Samuel  H.  Sweet,Charles 
J.  Singer  and  John  E.  Brewster. 


Stonehan  started  nineteen  times  at  the  Blood  Horse 
meeting  and  managed  to  escape  the  title  of  being  ll  King  of 
the  Also  Bans,"  by  getting  a  place  in  one  race. 

The  crack  race  horses,  Racine,  Cadmus  and  Fidelia,  were 
sent  to  Palo  Alto  Farm  Tuesday.  Flirtation  is  still  very  sick, 
and  cannot  be  sent  home  for  a  year  or  two,  from  appearances. 

Captain  Coster,  Peter  Weber's  crack  colt,  continues  to 
be  the  talk  of  the  trainers,  rubbers  and  touts.  Friday  he 
worked  a  quarter  easily  through  the  very  sticky  going  in  26 
seconds.  

Herman  Brandt,  the  trainer  of  Braw  Scot,  was  formerly 
the  exercise  boy  of  Firenzi.  He  also  rode  Kern  in  the  race 
that  caused  the  trouble  between  J.  B.  Haggin  and  the  Dwyer 
Brothers. 

How  does  the  energetic  tout 

Improve  each  shining  minute  ; 
He  never  plays  a  "  bean  "  himself, 

Because  there's  nothing  in  it. 


There  are  a  number  of  horses  at  the  track  that  are  weather 
bound.  As  soon  as  the  weather  clears  over  head  and  the  track 
gets  dry  under  foot  they  will  make  their  appearance  before 
Starter  Ferguson. 

James  Long  has  purchased  the  six-year-old  chestnut 
gelding  Joe  of  Wesley  George.  Joe  is  by  Conquest  (son  of 
Marshal  MacMahon),  dam  Swift,  by  Three  Cheers;  second 
dam  Duck,  by  Rifleman,  etc. 

"Doc"  Kobbins,  trainer  for  Barney  Schreiber,  on  Tues- 
day last  purchased  the  three-year-old  colt  Paulus  of  Mark 
Elias.  Yesterday  he  won  him  out  when  Paulus  ran  second 
to  Braw  Scot.     Paulus  is  by  Wilful — Miss  Glennon. 

The  most  promising  of  the  yearling  crop  by  Hanover  thus 
far  is  said  to  be  the  yearling  out  of  Julia  L.,owned  by  Byron 
McClelland,  who  paid  $6,000  for  it  last  month.  The  young- 
ster is  reported  to  have  gone  a  quarter  in  0;22f . 

With  the  failure  of  the  Pate  racing  scheme  will  come  the 
feeling  thac  California  is  the  only  spot  on  the  Western  Hemi- 
sphere where  winter  racing  can  be  conducted  with  comfort  to 
its  patrons  and  financial  success  to  its  managers. 

Pacific  Coast  horses  won  the  races  at  New  Orleans  last 
Saturday.  We  refer  to  Ovation  (byThree  Cheers — Hattie 
Ball)  and  Rosebud  (by  St.  Paul — Neyella).  Ovation  ran  six 
furlongs  in  1:151,  Rosebud  five  and  a  half  farlongs  in  L08|. 

Sik  Reel  has  been  reinstated  by  the  Board  of  Stewards,  as 
it  was  proved  conclusively  that  Phil  Archibald  merely  held 
a  lease  of  the  horse  up  to  January  1,  1394.  W.  B.  Reis  and 
Sidney  Ashe  own  the  good  son  of  Atta  and  Dizzy  Blonde. 

Col.  M.  Lewis  Clabk,  who  journeyed  to  the  City  of 
Mexico  to  act  as  presiding  judge  of  the  Bob  Pate's  races,  is 
now  confined  to  his  bed  in  the  far-away  land  on  the  Monte- 
zumas.  Col.  Clark  has  been  in  poor  health  for  quite  a 
while.  

A  dispatch  from  St.  Louis  dated  last  Saturday  says  :  "CoL 
Pate  admits  having  sunk  $200,000  in  the  Mexico  racing  ven- 
ture, and  has  arranged  to  dispose  of  his  stock  of  thorough- 
breds, valued  at  $100,000,  to  liquidate  the  debts  hanging  over 
the  track." 

An  effort  is  to  be  made  to  again  train  the  famous  old  geld- 
ing Freeland.  He  is  now  fourteen  years  old  and  is  by  Long- 
fellow, oat  of  Belle  Knight.  He  was  the  greatest  race  horse 
of  his  day  and  in  1S85  three  times  defeated  the  grand  mare 
Miss  Woodford. 

The  chestnut  brood  mare,  Geneve,  foaled  1SS5,  by  Spring- 
bok, dam  Geneva  by  Planet,  out  of  Geneva  by  Lexington, 
slipped  foal  by  Eolus  and  died  on  December  23,  1893.  She 
was  the  property  of  Captain  R.  J.  Hancock,  Ellerslie  Stud, 
Charlottesville,  Va. 

The  famous  Guenoc  Stock  Farm  stallions,  St.  Saviour  (sire 
of  Zobair),  imp.  Greenback  (sire  of  Green  Hock)  and  Owas, 
by  Reform  (son  of  imp.  Leamington,  sire  of  Iroquis),  dam 
Maggie  B.  B.  (dam  of  Iroquois),  will  make  the  coming  season 
at  Sacramento. 


Milton  Young,  proprietor  of  the  McGrathiana  Stud, 
owns  no  less  than  280  mares,  and  control*  several  more.  He 
has  also  13  stallions  doing  stud  duty,  and  during  the  past 
season  550  mares  were  served  at  the  farm.  Mr.  Milton  Young 
will  have  120  yearlings  to  sell  next  spring. 

JAaiES  L.  Flood,  whom  "Rataplan"  has  christened  the 
"sweetest  millionaire  in  California,"  was  yesterday  elected  a 
member  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Blood  Horse  Associa- 
tion and  Second  Vice-President,  vice  Charles  Wieland,  re- 
signed. And  yet  some  would  have  us  believe  racing  in  Califor- 
nia does  not  attract  the  very  best  people. 

Eugene  Leigh,  while  in  Washington  recently,  said  that 
he  would  bring  part  of  his  stable  to  Ivy  City  should  racing 
be  resamed  there.  He  also  stated  he  would  race  in  the  East 
exclusively  next  season,  giving  for  his  reason  the  fact  that 
racing  in  the  West  is  less  profitable.  This  is  queer  argument 
for  a  horseman  who  stands  practically  ruled  ofif  all  Eastern 
tracks  except  Guttenberg  and  Saratoga. 

If  the  announcement  made  is  true,  Detroit,  Mich.,  is  to 
have  two  race  tracks  next  season.  Mr.  D.  Campau  is  said  to 
be  behind  one,  which  is  being  modeled  on  the  lines  of  the 
Washington  Park  Club's  premises  at  Chicago,  while  the 
other  is  being  constructed  with  money  furnished  by  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Hendrie,  President  of  the  Ontario  Jockey  Club,  his 
brother,  George  Hendrie,  being  in  charge  of  the  scheme. 
This  course  is  to  be  on  an  island,  which  is  being  turned  into 
a  summer  resort,  with  a  race  track  as  the  chief  attraction. 


A  cablegram  from  Paris  states  that  Col.  Cody  has  engaged 
to  ride  horseback  a  race  of  four  hours  a  day  for  three  days 
with  a  professional  bicycle  rider.  Cody  will  be  allowed  ten 
mustangs  and  the  bicyclist  can  change  bis  wheel  whenever  he 
wishes.  The  match  is  for  2,500  francs.  Col.  Cody  made  a  lot 
of  money  with  his  show  in  Chicago  last  summer;  possibly 
that  is  why  he  is  so  willing  to  lose  some  of  it.  Human  flesh 
and  horse  flesh  cannot  Btand  against  a  bicycle  on  a  surface 
adapted  to  the  wheel.  The  iron  horse  suffers  practically 
nothing  from  friction  and  concussion.  It  takes  the  speediest 
trotters  to  outrace  a  trained  wheelman,  and  even  with  a  mus- 
tang for  every  twenty-five  minutes  of  the  four-hour  race,  the 
advantage  will  be  chiefly  with  the  rider  of  the  stealthy  steed. 
But  in  mud  or  over  hills  or  rough  ground  the  wheelman 
quickly  gives  way  to  the  horse. 

In  answer  to  a  question  as  to  whether  he  had  closed  the 
poolrooms,  Mr.  Richard  Croker  said  :  "  I  did.  That  is,  I 
advised  our  representatives  in  Albany  to  pass  a  law  that  would 
close  them.  What  of  it?  Wasn't  that  a  good  thing  to  do? 
Why,  before  it  was  done  the  papers  were  full  of  charges 
against  ua  for  letting  them  stay  open.  Now  they  pitch  into 
us  for  closing  them.  It  looks  to  me  like  a  case  of  '  damned  if 
you  do  and  damned  if  vou  don't.'  The  fact  is  that  the  pool- 
rooms got  to  be  a  nuisance  and  a  disgrace  to  the  city.  Nine- 
tenths  of  those  who  bet  in  poolrooms  were  clerks  and  boys 
who  could  drop  into  a  poolroom  across  the  street  and  lose 
their  money.  There  was  a  good  deal  of  feeling  against  them 
n  the  minds  of  parents,  and  they  were  closed  by  legislative 
enactments  which  we  supported  because  it  was  right  and  be- 
cause the  people  wanted  it  done." 


Stabteb  Caldwell  and  Jere  Dunn,  the  sport,  came  to 
blows  Wednesday  in  the  St.  James  Hotel,  New  York.  (Dunn 
was  talking  about  Caldwell  when  the  latter  came  into  the  bar. 

Dunn  said  "  Here  comes  the now."     Caldwell   at  once 

took  up  the  remark,  and  Dunn  struck  him  in  the  face.  They 
adjourned  to  the  street,  but  were  separated  by  friends.  Cald- 
well tried  hard  to  get  at  Dunn.  The  trouble  between  these 
men  dales  back  many  years.  Dunn  has  killed  a  couple  of 
men,  one  of  them  being  the  heavy  weight  prize  fighter, 
Jimmy  Elliott.  

Ab  Steiilee,  the  well-known  trainer  for  Burns  &  Water- 
house,  Friday  purchased  of  L.  U.  Shippee,  Stockton,  Cal., 
the  six-year-old  bay  stallion  Fellowcharm,  by  the  immortal 
Longfellow,  dam  Trinket,  by  imp.  Great  Tom  ;  second  dam 
Bobinet  (dam  of  Biggonet),  by  Brown  Dick;  third  dam 
Valentia,  by  Childe  Harold.  His  sixth  dam  was  the  queen 
of  the  turf,  Gamma,  bv  Pacific,  half-sister  to  tbe  dam  of 
Hennie  Farrow,  the  mare  that  founded  such  a  wonderful 
family  on  this  coast.  Fellowcharm  is  the  sire  of  The  Mallard 
and  Cherokee,  and  is  bred  right  for  a  sire  of  high  class. 


Thbee  outsiders  and  three  favorites  have  won  the  Subur- 
ban in  the  last  six  years.  In  1890  Salvator  and  Tenny  were 
on  even  terms  in  the  betting.  In  1891  and  1892  Major  Domo, 
although  not  the  favorite  in  either  year,  ran  second,  and  no 
one  doubts  that  he  had  the  race  at  his  mercy  on  both  ocea- 
ions,  but  lost  through  miserable  riding.  In  1891  the  favorite 
finished  sixth  and  the  second  choice  last,  and  in  1S92  the  fa- 
vorite won,  the  second  choice  finishing  eighth.  In  the  former 
year  Domo  was  in  receipt  of  six  pounds  from  Loantaka,  the 
winner,  while  in  1892  he  and  Montana,  the  winner,  carried 
the  same  weight,  115  pounds.

The  following  dispatch  from  New  York  was  received 
here  Tuesday  night  :  "  Francis  T.  Walton,  the  'plunger,'  made 
an  assignment  to-day.  In  addiiion  to  his  business  of  betting 
on  races  and  speculating  on  stock,  Mr.  Walton  was  proprietor 
of  the  Grand  Hotel.  The  assignee  selected  was  Charles  L. 
Walton,  brother  of  the  plunger.  The  list  of  preferences  was 
a  long  one.  The  failuiesurprised  many  of  Walton's  friends. 
The  amount  of  his  liabilities  is  not  given.  Walton  was  re- 
garded as  an  exceptionally  lucky  man.  He  won  and  lost 
millions  with  equal  sang  froid.  One  of  his  bie  winnings  was 
$100,000  on  a  single  race.  That  happened  in  England,  where 
the  plunger  m  the  early  80's  owned  and  ran  horses.  His 
failure  is  due  probably  to  general  lack  of  business. 

Edwaed  C'oebigan,  one  of  the  most  noted  turfmen  in 
America  and  Master  of  Hawthorne  Park,  Chicago,  arrived 
Wednesday  and  attended  the  races  during  the  afternoon.  Mr. 
Corrigan  owns  Cicero  and  Mariner,  the  clever  jumpers,  and 
will  in  all  likelihood  send  out  several  race  horses  in  a  few 
days.  In  his  day  he  has  owned  such  celebrities  as  Freeland, 
Riley,  Modesty  (first  winner  of  the  American  Derby i 
and  Pearl  Jennings.  The  Chicago  turf  magnate  looks  well, 
though  he  is  beginning  to  age  a  little,  and  expressed  himself 
as  delighted  with  the  winter  climate  of  California,  if  yester- 
day was  a  fair  sample  of  it.  He  is  quartered  at  the  Palace 
Hotel,  and  expects  to  remain  with  us  for  the  next  two  months. 
In  that  time  Mr.  Corrigan  will  surely  become  convinced  that 
California  lathe  winter  racing  ground  of  the  universe. 


St.  Loots,  December  23. — Patrick  Grogan,  the  well-known 
horse  trainer  and  owner,  who  went  to  Mexico  with  Col.  Rob- 
ert Pate  to  engage  in  the  Penon  track  venture,  has  returned 
very  much  disgusted,  and  recites  a  story  of  fraud  and  extor- 
tion. Said  he :  "  The  Mexicans  are  the  most  wide-awake 
people  I  ever  ran  against,  and  when  they  get  through  with 
Col.  Pate  there  will  be  little  left  of  him.  American  horse- 
men are  getting  out  as  fast  as  they  can.  Porses  of  $500  were 
advertised,  with  $750  handicaps,  with  racing  every  dav,  but 
this  was  cut  to  $150  purses  and  two  race  days  a  week.  Horse 
feed  and  man's  necessities  are  from  50  per  cent  to  30  per  cent 
higher  than  here.  Besides  the  natives  are  jealous  of  Ameri- 
cans, and  every  advantage  is  taken  of  them.  I  went  to  church 
with  a  friend  one  day,  and  he  was  relieved  of  a  diamond  pin 
while  bowed  in  prayer.  Col.  Pate  is  making  an  honest  effort 
to  introduce  legitimate  racing  in  Mexico,  but  he  will  first 
have  to  uproot  the  inborn  tendency  of  the  natives  to  do  the 
strangers  within  their  gates." 


Theee  is  a  story  told  by  some  of  the  older  school  of  Eng- 
lish racing  men  which  will  bear  repeating,  even  though  it 
may  be  stale  news  in  some  quarters.  Tom  McGeorge,  who 
was  the  official  starter  to  the  English  Jockey  Club,  was  an 
original  character,  and  seldom  at  a  loss  for  a  way  to  encom- 
pass a  situation.  Once  when  endeavoring  to  get  away  an  un- 
ruly lot  of  wild  two-year-olds  in  the  early  part  of  the  season, 
he  resorted  to  a  surprisingly  successful  expedient,  which 
made  things  easier  for  him  for  a  long  time  afterward.  The 
boys  kept  breaking  in  all  shapes,  some  wouldn't  come  up  and 
some  woulJn't  keep  back,  so  he  finally  sat  down  on  the  edge 
of  the  course  and  taking  a  paper  out  of  his  pocket,  began  to 
adjust  it  as  though  for  a  comfortable  perusal  of  its  contents, 
in  an  arm  chair,  without  a  horse  within  a  block  of  him.  The 
Sag  was  still  over  his  shoulder,  and  when  the  lads  thought  be 
was  reading  he  caught  them  in  fairly  even  line.  Down  went 
the  bunting,  and  before  some  of  them  realized  what  had  hap- 
pened tbe  rest  of  the  company  were  flying  down  the  track 
fifty  yards  in  the  lead.  It  was  a  lesson  well  taught  and 
remembered. 


A  weitee  in  a  New  York  exchange  has  the  following 
about  Mai.  B.  G.  Thomas:  They  tell  a  good  story  of  Major 
Thomas  out  home,  which  shows  that,  mild  and  gentle  as  he  is, 
he  can  rise  to  the  occasion  and  be  sternness  personified.  When 
Himyar  was  at  his  best  Major  Thomas  was  Sheriff  of  Fayette 
County.  At  a  race  between  Himyar  and  Dave  Moore  (Long 
Taw)  suspicious  betting  made  Maj.  Thomas  call  up  his  jockey, 
Walker,  and  tell  him  if  he  saw  anything  to  make  him  think 
that  Himyar  was  pulled  he  would  shoot  him  (Walker)  assure 
as  his  name  was  Barak  G.  Thomas,  Sheriff  of  Fayette  County. 
The  race  was  rnn  and  Major  Thomas  took  a  place  in  the  field 
up  by  the  last  eighth  pole.  It  was  two  miles,  and  when  thev 
came  by  him  the  first  time  Himyar  was  buckjumping  as  if 
he  could  run  over  the  moon.  But  the  next  circuit  saw  Dave 
Mooreand  Himyar  locked,  and  just  before  reaching  the  old 
Major  at  the  last  furlong,  Moore  was  a  neck  ahead  and  Wal- 
ker making  a  great  bluff  of  riding  Himyar.  The  Major  saw 
that  the  occasion  demanded  further  desperate  action,  and  just 
before  the  horses  rushed  past  him  he  let  a  yell  at  Walker,  as 
he  pulled  a  big  revolver  from  his  pocket,  "  Look  at  that  boy, 
and  remember!"  The  effect  was  instantaneous.  The  startled 
jockey  sat  down  and  rode  for  his  life,  and  Himyar  beat  Dave 
Moore  on  tbe  post  by  a  head.  W-Jker  always  said  it  was  the 
closest  call  he  ever  had." 


The  question  of  what  size  the  purses  will  be  at  the  princi- 
pal racecourses  in  this  part  of  the  world  next  summer  is  still 
to  be  settled.  That  the  Couey  Island  Jockey  Club  has  an- 
nounced that  no  race  with  less  than  $1,000  added  will  be 
given  at  Sheepshead  Bay  is  strong  presumptive  evidence  that 
rival  associations  will  not  care  to  be  outdone.  It  does  not, 
however,  seem  that  there  is  anv  necessity  for  such  action. 
Over-night  races  should  be  judiciously  graded  from  $500  up 
to,  say  for  a  limit  to  start  with,  $1,500.  Five  hundred  dol- 
lars is  plenty  of  money  to  offer  for  ordinary  maiden  races, 
and  it  is  manifestly  absurd  to  offer  the  same  amount  for  such 
horses  to  contend  for  as  is  offered  for  a  good  field  of  handicap 
horses.  Abolish  the  entrance  fee  and  popularize  the  con- 
ditions. Get  together  hig  fields  that  produce  lively  betting, 
whether  the  horses  be  Tammany,  Lamplighter,  Sir  Walter 
and  others  of  that  kind,  or  the  cheapest  of  selling  platers. 
Races  with  conditions  that  call  for  horses  to  be  sold  for  $200 
with  an  upward  scale  and  other  conditions  of  that  kind  are 
needed.  Men  won't  enter  horses  of  ordinary  class  only  to 
ffnd  that  they  have  had  to  pay  their  money  for  tbe  privilege 
of  seeing  their  horses'  name  appear  in  company  with  some 
high-class  stake  horse  with  only  100  pounds  or  so  on  hU  back. 
It  bas  not  been  an  uncommon  thing  of  late  years  to  see  races 
go  begging  when  something  like  1,000  horses  are  stabled  on 
the  grounds.  It  is  impossible  to  get  a  meeting  at  which 
nothing  but  stake  horses  start,  and  the  sooner  manager? 
I  racing  associations  realize  this,  the  better  for  thetu 
i  every  one  else  interested  in  the  sport. — Daily  America.

The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  Fall  Meeting. 

From  all  parts  of  the  Pacific  Coast  wherever  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  has  a  subscriber  (and  that 
means  in  every  city,  town  and  village)  have  letters  been 
received  endorsing  the  splendid  programme  of  the 
Pacific  ( loast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  which 
is  published  in  its  columns.  Never  before  has  there 
such  a  grand  opportunity  offered  for  horsemen  to 
engage  their  culls  and  fillies  in  important  events  at  such 
a  low  cost.  The  aggregate  amount  of  the  purses  is  $29,- 
100,  a  sum  sufficiently  large  to  encourage  all  horsemen 
to  continue  the  training  of  their  young  trotters  and 
pacers.  The  association,  foremost  as  it  is  among  all  the 
trotting  horse  associations  of  the  United  States,  is  com- 
posed of  the  leading  horsemen  of  this  Coast,  and  their 
unanimous  endorsement  o(  the  terms  and  conditions  as 
in  the  programme  is  proof  that  the  largest  list  of  entries 
evrr  made  for  colt  purses,  purses  for  aged  horses  and 
nomination  purees  will  be  received  on  the  date  of  clos- 
ing, February  1st. 

The  inducement  "send  in  your  entries  and  pay  your 
money  later  on,"  is  a  good  one,  and  every  horsemen  who 
horse  ou  the  circuit  in  1894  will  not 
hesitate  to  take  the  preliminary  step  of  having  his  en- 
tries all  made  in  time.  If  the  colt  or  filly  does  not  come 
up  to  e  le' can  be  declared  out   at  any

colors  are  m-t  named  or  conflict,  drivers  will  be  required  to  wear  the 
colors  furnished  bo  the  Association. 

The  fall  race  meeting  will  occur  in  October. 

The  summer  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders  Association  will  be  held  in  July.  The 
programme  and  conditions  will  be  published  in  due  time. 
II  the  programme,  as  now  published  in  the  fall  meeting, 
proves  successful  (and  from  present  indications  it  will), 
the -ante  lines  will  be  followed.  The  terms  will  be  just 
as  liberal,  so  that  horsemen  will  be  relieved  of  paying 
out  large  sums  of  money  in  advance,  as  they  have  here- 
tofore been  in  the  habit  of  doing,  and  being  out  of  their 
much-needed  coin  for  months  previous  to  the  date  of  the 
race  meeting.  Instead  of  the  old  time  ten  per  cent  en- 
trance this  one  per  cent  entrance  bits  the  nail  right  on 
the  head. 


The  Speed  Track. 


There  is  no  part  of  the  Golden  Gate  Park  so  much 
neglected  as  the  road  which  was  made  and  paid  for  by 
public  subscription  and  known  as  the  "speed  track." 
When  the  contract  was  let  many  of  our  most  prominent 
horsemen  anticipated  driving  over  a  course  as  smooth  as 
a  race  track  and  every  day  they  rode  over  the  macada- 
mized roads,  adjacent  to  its  site  and  watched  the  labors 
of  the  workmen  who  were  cutting  the  road  through  the 
sandhills  and  covering  it  with  a  layer  of  clay  similar  to 
that  seen  on  the  Bay  District  course.  Alter  the  work 
was  accepted  the  driveway  became  the  best-traveled 
road  in  the  park,  hut  it  did  not  take  long  for  owners  of 
good  horses  to  keep  from  speeding  over  it,  for  the  sur- 
face became  so  rough  and  uneven  that  it  was  unpleasant 
as  well  as  dangerous  to  drive  the  horses  on  it  faster  than 
a  3:10  gait.  The  Park  Commissioners  have  been  ap- 
pealed to  several  times  to  appoint  one  man  with  a  good 
team  to  take  care  of  the  course  and  keep  it  in  the  con- 
dition every  subscriber  was  led  to  believe  it  would  be, — a 
model  driveway, — but  all  to  no  purpose.  Now,  that  an 
army  of  men  who  have  been  out  of  employment,  have 
been  set  to  work  in  the  park,  it  is  hoped  that  about 
twenty-five  of  them  will  be  placed  on  the  speed  track  to 
make  suitable  for  our  citizens  with  their  friends  from 
the  interior  of  the  State  as  well  as  the  East  to  ride  over. 
The  need  of  a  good  track  harrow,  roller  and  scraper  is 
uecessary,  and  with  the  assistance  of  a  gang  of  workmen 
to  level  the  hillocks  and  fill  in  the  big  gaps  on  the  road, 
in  two  weeks  it  would  be  one  of  the  most  frequented 
in  the  park.  A  pathway  on  each  side  of  it  for  pedes- 
trians v/ho  love  to  see  horses  speeding,  would  be  a  much- 
needed  improvement,  and  might  also  be  added. 

We  offer  these  suggestions  to  the  Park  Commissioners 
and  trust  that  they  will  attend  to  it  now  that  the  ways 
and  means  are  placed  at  their  disposal  by  many  of  our 
richest  road  riders  who  have  contributed  so  much  toward 
the  fund  now  being  raised.  We  do  not  ask  that  any  of 
the  other  improvements  in  our  beautiful  Goiden  Gate 
Park  be  checked,  but  we  do  appeal  to  the  gentlemen 
composing  the  Board  to  make  the  celebrated  driveway 
suitable  for  purposes  for  which  it  was  intended,  and  for 
which  so  many  thousands  of  dollars  were  subscribed  by 
our  leading  citizens,  i.e.,  a  level,  well-kept,  well-watered 
speed  track,  over  which  the  speed  of  our  famous  trotters 
and  pacers  might  be  shown  without  injury  to  themselves, 
or  without  endangering  the  lives  of  those  who  are  not  for- 
tunate enough  to  own  fast  horses  or  do  not  care  to 
drive  them. 


Washington  Park  Stakes. 


Nine  stakes  to  be  ruu  during  the  summer  meeting  of 
twenty-five  days  at  Washington  Park,  Chicago,  will  close 
"it  '[..inlay,  January  Kith.  Columbus  Handicap  is  at  a 
mill  and  three-sixteenths,  to  which  the  association  adds 
lufficient  to  make  the  value  $15,000.  The  Wheeler 
Handicap  has  $5,000  added,  the  Great  Western  Handi- 
cap has  $2,000,  the  Oakwood,  Dearborn  and  Lake  View 
Handicap,  Boulevard, Maiden  and  Quickstep  Stakes  each 
have  sI,.iimi  added.  In  each  of  the  stakes  declarations 
are  permitted  for  a  small  amount.  Washington  Park  is 
the  scene  of  the  first  successful  racing  meeting  ever  held 
at  Chicago.  Its  first  president  was  none  other  than  the 
famous  old  soldier,  General  Phil.  Sheridan,  .1.  E.  Brew- 
ster, the  first  and  present  secretary,  is  a  turfman  bred 
and  born,  a  most  popular  secretary  among  horseowners, 
and  the  conditions  of  the  stakes  he  has  compiled  show 
how  thoroughly  he  understands  his  businesi.  Chicago 
is  naturally  on  the  circuit  for  California  owners  contem- 
plating a  trip  East,  ami  the  Washington  Park  course  is 
one  of  the  best  and  most  modern  in  the  country.  Entry 
blanks  I'm  the  Makes  can  be  had  at  this  office  or   from  a 

representative  of  the  Breeder  anb  Sportsman?  at  the 

Bay  District  track. 


The  End  of  the  Meeting. 
For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  racing  in  Califor- 
nia, this  journal  is  enabled  to  publish  the  complete  offi- 
cial results  of  a  race  meeting,  which,  although  held  un- 
der many  climatic  disadvantages,  can  justly  be  called  a 
successful  one.  When  even  the  most  interested  person 
glances  over  the  long  record  of  contests  during  the  forty- 
seven  days  races,  he  cannot  resist  the  temptation  of  say- 
ing: "  It  was  indeed  a  great  meeting,  one  that  every  race- 
goer should  be  proud  of."  There  were  exactly  three- 
hundred  and  fifty  horses  to  star;  in  these  races.  Three 
hundred  and  fifty  representatives  of  all  the  great  stallions 
and  broodmares  famous  as  sires  and  matrons  in  America, 
England  and  Australia,  met  on  the  Bay  District  course 
and  contested  for  the  liberal  purses  offered  by  the  Pacific 
Coast  Blood  Horse  Association  during  a  continuous 
meeting. 

The  amounts  won  by  the  successful  ones  range  from 
$14,025  to  $25,  while  the  long  list  of  jockeys  who  piloted 
these  horses  shows  that  there  was  no  lack  of  "  talent." 
A  table  like  the  one  published  will  be  valued  highly  by 
these  boys,  and  at  the  meeting  now  in  progress,  those 
who  have  not  earned  victories  will  strive  harder  than 
ever  to  gain  the  coveted  honors  of  riding  the  winners. 
The  amount  of  money  earned  by  the  jockeys  for  mounts, 
runs  well-up  into  the  thousands.  Many  of  these  youths 
are  the  sole  support  of  their  parents,  and  to  their  credit 
be  it  said  that  a  more  orderly  gathering  of  youths  has 
not  been  seen  at  the  track  in  our  time. 

The  experiment  of  giving  racing  during  the  winter 
months  in  California  has  been  successfully  tried,  and  if 
one  is  to  judge  by  the  consensus  of  opinion  expressed, 
the  meeting  during  the  winter  of  1894-5  wili  eclipse  all 
others  held  in  the  United  States,  in  fact,  it  will  absorb 
most  of  the  available  first-class  race  horses  and  jockeys 
in  America. 

The  presence  of  the  six  hundred  horses  at  this  meet- 
ing, many  of  them  too  young  to  race,  others  in  training 
for  the  Spring  meeting,  has  been  the  means  of  putting 
a  large  amount  of  money  in  circulation  on  this  Coast. 
The  hay  and  grain  dealers,  harness  and  horse  clothing 
dealers,  horse  shoers  and  the  army  of  attendants, 
had  to  be  paid  by  the  owners,  and  they  in  turn  have  en- 
deavored to  make  all  the  money  they  can  at  the  races. 
The  purses  given  have  been  large,  and  the  liberality 
shown  by  the  management  met  with  the  hearty  approval 
of  the  owners. 

The  public  has  aided  by  their  presence  at  this  great 
meeting  and  contributed  thousands  of  dollars  toward  sus- 
taining the  "  sport  of  kings."  The  expenses  of  carrying 
on  such  a  meeting  were  very  large,  much  larger  than  a 
number  of  members  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association  an- 
ticipated, but  we  understand  that  by  the  united  efforts  of 
press  and  public,  enough  money  has  been  paid  in  to  al- 
most liquidate  the  heavy  debt  contracted  in  the  improve- 
ment of  the  Bay  District  Track  and  the  placing  of  Cali- 
fornia's merits  as  au  equine  paradise  in  the  foremost  po- 
sition in  Am

HOOF-BEATS 


The  Saratoga  Association  presents  an  attracting  list  of  ! 
thirty  sweepstakes  which  close  a  week  from  Monday,  the  j 
15th  inst.     Saratoga,  because  of  its    salubrious  climate, 
has  been  styled  the  California  of  the  East.     Horses  that 
make  their  sojourn  there,  inhaling  the  air  of  pines,  go  ; 
forth  and  do  deeds  of  glory.     Secretary  Whitehead  has 
justly  made  famous  the  list  of  stakes,  because  of  their  at-  \ 
tractive   conditions.     No   forfeits  and   consequently,  no  I 
paper  money.     The  Association  guarantees  the  value  of 
every  stake  to  the  winner.     A  small  entrance  fee,  only,  j 
is  necessary  for  eligibility  to  each  event,  with  an  equita-  ! 
ble  amount  to  start.     The  sum  added  approximates  $75,-  { 
000.    The  list  of  stakes  includes  twelve  for  two-year-olds, 
four  for  three-year-olds,  nine  for  all-ages  and  five  for  [ 
hurdles  and  steeplechasers.  Besides  the  old  fixtures  there 
is  the  California  Stakes,  a  handicap  for  two-year-olds,  at  , 
five  and  a  half  furlongs.     In  its  announcement  the  As-  ! 
sociation  shows  that  horses  sojourning  at  Saratoga  last 
season  won  a  majority  of  the  races  at  other  points  after  ( 
the  meeting  had  been  concluded.  The  article  in  question 
bears  evidence  of  its  authorship,  Judge  Joseph  J.  Burke,  j 
one  of  the  most  popular  racing  judges  in  this  country, 
and  an  able  newspaper  man  besides,  presents  a  strong  ar-  ! 
gument  in  favor  of  Saratoga  to  horse  owners.     Its  popu-  I 
lar  president,  George  Walbaum,  now  a  daily  visitor  at  j 
the  Bay  District  treak,  speaks  encouragingly  of  the  forth- 
coming season.     Tremendous  as  has  been  the  success  at-  ! 
tained  during  the  two  seasons  the  Association  has   been  : 
in  new  hands,  the  increased  value  of  stakes  and  general  i 
outlook  promises  one  of  the  most  flourishing  meetings  j 
ever  held,  next  July  and  August.     President  "Walbaum  j 
will  have  his  hands  full  greeting  the   friends  he  has  met  ' 
while  traveling  this  wide  world  over,  while  the  "  Prince 
of^Starters,"  James  F.  Caldwell,  must  needs  work  hard  I 
while  handling  the  little  flag,  as  the  fields  are  certain  to  j 
be  large.     Entry  blanks   are  here  in  profusion.     They 
can   be   secured   at   this   office,  or  at  the  Bay  District  | 
track. 


Don't  forget  to  send  for  a  catalogue  of  the  sale  of  the  Val- 
ensip  trotting  stock,  which  will  uke  place  January  15th. 

The  spring  meeting  to  be  held  at  Sacramento  this  year  is 
to  be  devoted  exclusively  to  races  between  light  harness 
horses. 

Elf,  by  Steinway,  2:25$  (dam  Bertha,  dam  of  Diablo, 
2:09.1),  will  be  driven  as  a  pacer  by  her  owner,  John  A.  Gold- 
smith. 

Lee  Shaneb  has  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Director  at  Sac- 
ramento, that  is  a  second  Direct.  She  is  the  fastest  pacer  of 
her  age  ever  seen  there. 

The  attention  of  our  readers  is  called  to  the  advertisement 
in  this  issue  of  A.  C.  Dietz's  tine  trottiDg  stock,  headed  by  the 
handsome  stallions  Ringwood,  by  Sidney,  and  Sable  Czar,  bv 
Sable  Wilkes.

New  Memphis  Jockey  Club. 
The  advertisement  of  this  jockey  club's  spring  meet-  , 
ing,  which  commences  April  9th,  appears  in  this  issue.  ! 
Entries  of  stakes  will  close  January  loth.  There  are  ' 
seven  stakes  advertised,  and  all  horsemen  who  intend  to  j 
leave  the  Bay  District  track  for  their  Eastern  tour  \ 
should  not  fail  to  fill  out  entries  this  week  and  send  them  ! 
to  the  secretary.  They  cannot  afford  to  miss  this  splen-  i 
did  meeting,  and  as  entry  blanks  can  be  had  at  this  ; 
office  and  also  at  our  desk  at  the  Bay  District  track.  | 
they  will  be  cheerfully  given  to  all  inquirers. 


On  January  15th  there  will  be  sold  at  public  auction 
in  this  city  the  balance  of  the  choice  mares,  colts  and 
fillies  belonging  to  the  estate  of  G.  Valensin.  The  mares 
are  very  well  bred  and  individually  good,  while  the  colts 
and  fillies  [are  by  Dictator-Sidney  and  Sidney  and  are 
worthy  of  being  placed  on  any  track  in  California.  An  op- 
portunity to  get  trotters  bred  as  these  are  may  never  occur 
again,  and  horsemen  should  attend  this  sale  for  they  wil 
secure  bargains.  There  will  also  be  sold  a  number  of 
training  carts,  sulkies,  road  carts  and  vehicles  of  all  de- 
scriptions, besides  harnesses,  single  and  double.  At  the 
same  sale  there  will  be  offered  to  the  highest  bidders  a 
number  of  choice  Palo  Alto  bred  mares  in  foal  to  the 
choicest  young  stallions  on  this  celebiated  farm.  They 
are  all  well  bred  and  owners  of  young  stallions  who 
have  never  had  an  opportunity  of  owning  first- 
class  mares,  will  at  this  sale  be  able  to  secure  just 
what  they  need  at  their  own  price.  There  are  two  young 
stallions  to  be  sold,  one  by  Eclectic  (brother  to  Arion, 
2:07|),  the  other  by  Norval,  2:14f,  both  of  these  sires 
are  by  the  mighty  Electioneer.     Send  for  catalogue. 


Governor  Markhaji  has  appointed  the  following  Agri" 
cultural  Directors:  E.  M.  Houx,  W.  W.  Fish,  C.  H.  Behrens- 
E.  P.  White,  of  Colusa  county;  M.  T.  Kite,  Shasta;  E.  E. 
Jack,  San  Luis  Obispo;  B.  W.  Child,  John  M.  Griffin  and 
Lewis  Laach,  Fresno  and  Madera,  and  Alfred  Wiedman,  Mon- 
terey county. 

The  smallest  breeders  will  in  the  future  make  the  most 
money,  says  the  American  Trotter,  the  man  who  has  but  a 
few  select  mares  and  breeds  them  to  a  first-class  stallion  each 
year,  and  then  develops  every  colt  carefully,  and  trots  the 
cream  of  the  lot  annually,  has  little  to  fear.  He  will  make 
money  and  plenty  of  it. 

Robert  Bonner  says:  <;I  bought  my  first  trotting  horse 
on  July  31,  1S56.  At  that  time  there  were  only  nineteen 
horses,  including  the  living  and  the  dead,  that  had  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:30.  We  now  count  them  by  thousands,  and  if  the 
breeders  continue  to  improve  the  horse  and  develop  his 
speed,  as  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  they  will,the  whole 
community  will  reap  the  benefit." 

Ed  Lafferty,  the  well-known  horseman,  will  open  a  pub- 
lic training  stable  at  the  Oakland  race  track.  Ed  is  one  of 
the  most  careful  and  conscientious  men  in  the  profession,  and 
as  a  conditioner  and  driver  is  in  the  front  rank.  That  he 
will  have  a  splendid  string  of  trotters  ard  pacers  in  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit  we  have  no  doubt,  for  he  is  in  every  way  capa- 
ble of  doing  excellent  work  with  any  youngsters  entrusted  to 
his  care. 

Everyone  seeking  highly  bred  broodmares,  colts  and  fil- 
lies should  attend  the  closing-out  sale  of  the  Valensin  stock 
on  the  loth  inst.  Besides  these  there  are  some  other  royallv 
bred  stallions  and  broodmares  bred  at  Palo  Alto,  the  property 
of  the  celebrated  Brook  Nook  ranch,  Montana,  and  Oak  Lawn 
ranch,  San  Mateo  county,  Cal.  Send  at  once  to  Killlp  &Co., 
for  a  catalogue,  then  on  the  day  of  sale  be  present,  for  you 
will  be  sure  to  secure  bargains. 

It  is  very  hard  for  a  man  who  has  once  been  in  the  horse 
business  to  keep  out  of  it,  remarks  an  exchange.  A  great 
many  would  now  thank  their  stars  if  they  had,  and  many 
more  in  the  future  that  they  have  kept  out  of  it,  remarks  an- 
other. And  in  the  future  many  will  wish  that  they  had  kept 
in  the  business.  The  percentage  of  profit  will  probably  not 
be  as  large  in  breeding  trotters  as  formerly,  but  it  will  always 
be  a  safe  business  when  conducted  right. 

Messrs.  Killip  &  Co.  are  distributing  catalogues  of  the 
sale  which  is  to  take  place  January  loth  of  some  royally-bred 
broodmares  by  Pilot  Medium,  Brown  Wilkes,  Electioneer, 
Sterling,  Valensin,  A.  W.  Richmond,  The  Moor,  Buccaneer, 
Elmo,  Wild  Boy,  Piedmont,  Fallis,  Clay,  2:25,  Antevolo,  Ho- 
mer, Mohawk  Chief,  Don  Victor,  Nephew,  Privateer  and 
Hambletonian  725.  The  two  colts  to  be  sold  from  the  Brook 
Nook  Farm,  Montana,  are  grandly-bred  and  individually  per- 
fect.   

Advertiser,  2:15},  was  bred  to  Pierce  Bros.'  Vida  Wilkes, 
2:18|,  last  spring.  We  understand  that  she,  as  well  as  all 
other  mares  bred  to  this  handsome  stallion,  is  in  foal.  Vida 
Wilkes  is  by  Guv  Wilkes,  2:15J,  out  of  Vixen,  by  Nutwood, 
2:1SJ;  second  dam  the  famous  broodmare  Sister  (dam  of 
Albert  W.,  2:20,  and  Bonanza,  2:29A),  by  John  Nelson.  When 
the  youngster  comes  it  will  have  a  cross  of  Electioneer,  a 
double  cross  of  Geo.  Wilkes  through  Guy  Wilkes  and  Lulu 
Wilkes,  one  cross  of  Nutwood. 


The  ending  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Associa- 
tion meeting  necessitated  the  publication  of  an  immense 
amount  of  tabular  matter,  which,  to  the  followers  of  rac- 
ing, will  be  deemed  invaluable,  but  at  the  same  time  it 
crowds  out  a  number  of  important  articles  which  will 
find  a  place  in  our  next  week's  issue. 


Death,  of  Lewis  R.  Martin. 


On  Thursday  afternoon  at  St.  Luke's  Hospital,  the  well- 
known  horseman,  Lewis  B.  Martio,  departed  thts  life.  He 
was  a  native  of  New  Hampshire,  and  was  about  sixty  years 
of  age,  and  for  the  last  twenty-two  years  has  been  identified 
with  E.  D.  Baldwin's  interests.  He  brought  the  thoroughbred 
Joe  Daniels  and  Hubbard  to  California,  and  all  of  the  horses 
that  founded  the  famous  Santa  Anita  Stock  Farm.  He 
trained  the  first  lot  of  horses  ever  brought  East  for  Bald- 
win. About  ten  years  ago  while  in  New  York  he  became 
blind,  and  since  then  has  been  incapacitated  from  doing 
any  work.    His  funeral  will  take  place  to-day. 


Captain  Ryland  Todhunter  bred  Peck's  (Akers')  Idol 
and  rode  Ashland  Chief  in  the  great  battle  of  Murfreesboro 
and  through  the  entire  war.  He  also  owned,  for  just  about 
two  hours,  the  famous  Lady  Thorn,  2:1 8 L,  who  trotted  and 
won  many  races,  and  has  106  heats  to  her  credit  better  than 
2:30.  In  1859,  when  a  three-year-old,  and  when  she  was 
known  as  Ashland  Maid,  he  traded  for  her,  and  when  she 
was  delivered  she  had  to  be  driven  with  a  kick  straps,  which 
caused  the  trade  to  fall  through.  She  did  not  take  her  record 
until  ten  years  later.         

J.  Malcolm  Forbes  makes  the  announcement  that  Nancy 
Hanks  has  retired  permanently  from  the  trotting  turf  and 
that  she  will  be  bred  to  the  famous  young  trotting  stallion, 
Arion,  2:07f.  The  story  of  Nancy  Hanks'  career  is  a  familiar 
one.  Since  her  maiden  race,  when  she  lost  the  first  heat  to 
BoDnie  Wilmore.  Bhe  has  never  been  headed  to  the  wire  by 
an  adversary.  Her  three-year-old  record  of  2:24i  gave  way 
to  a  four-ye.ir-old  record  of  2:14}-,  a  five-year-old"  record  of 
2:09,  and  a  six-year-old  record  of  2:04.  During  the  season 
just  closed  she  was  for  the  first  time  defeated,  but  by  herself 
alone;  and,  while  a  terrific  strain  of  an  unequaled  series  of 
miles  at  last  found  her  out  and  she  was  unable  to  reduce  her 
record  of  2:04,  her  mile  at  Indianapolis  of  2:04J  was  the  first 
heat  of  the  year.  Of  her  public  heats,  64  were  trotted  in 
2:30,  of  which  31  were  helow  2:15  and  18  below  2:10.  Her 
fastest  mile,  2:04,  was  at  Terre  Haute  ;  her  fastest  quarter, 
29},  the  third  quarter  of  that  mile;  at  Independence  and  at 
Sedalia  she  trotted  the  first  heat  in  1:01  ;  at  Nashville  she 
trotted  the  middle  half  in  1=01};  her  best  first  quarter,  30, 
was  recorded  at  both  Independence  and  Sedalia  ;  belt  second 
c  uarter,  31,  at  both  these  places,  at  Nashville  and  at  Boston 
and  Chicago  this  year;  at  New  Albany  she  trotted  a  last  quar- 
ter in  exactly  30.  Her  winnings,  exclusive  of  several  purses 
for  exhibitions  in  1891,  for  which  no  figures  are  quoted,  reach 
$61,954. 


Geo.  Greenman,  one  of  the  old-time  trotting-horse 
owners,  was  found  dead  in  bed  at  San  Jose  on  New  Year's 
day.  He  owned  the  trotting  stallion  Ben  Franklin,  and  kept 
him  in  Santa  Clara  valley  for  a  number  of  years. 

John  E.  Turner  has  the  following  horses  wintered  at  the 
Ambler,  Pa.:  Domicilla,  b  f,  3,  by  Santa  Claus,  dam  by 
Whipple's  Hambletonian  ;  bay  colt,  4,  brother  to  Domicilla  ; 
bay  filly,  3,  by  Director,  dam  by  Monroe  Chief;  black  mare, 
o,  by  Alcantara,  out  of  the  dam  of  Bellini,  2:13]  ;  Willow, 
black  colt,  by  Simmocolon,  dam  Thornleaf ;  Happy  Lady, 
2:20,  by  Happy  Russell,  dam  by  General  Washington  ;  seven- 
year-old  bay  mare,  by  St.  Elmo  ;  Keyser,  b  g,  by  Kentucky 
Prioce;  Blackwood  Eelle,  by  Blackwood;  Santeo  Maid,  by 
Santa  Claus,  and  a  lot  of  yearlings  and  two-year-olds.  Among 
the  well-known  turf  performers  in  Turners  stable  are  Abbie 
V.,  2:16},  by  Aberdeen  ;  Nyanza,  2:19},  by  Quartermaster  ; 
Daylight,  2:26},  by  General  Benton,  and  the  old  timer  Santa 
Claus.  

The  value  of  milk  for  feeding  horses  is  not  generally  ap- 
preciated. The  farmer  disposes  of  the  skim-milk  product  by 
feeding  it  to  calves  and  pigs,  but  seldom  thinks  of  its  value  in 
developing  and  growing  colts.  At  this  season  of  the  year, 
and  after  weaning  time,  colts  are  frequently  out  of  condition 
and  unthrifty.  Nothing  will  put  them  in  order  and  in  grow- 
iog  condition  like  a  moderate  allowance  of  skim-milk  in 
addition  to  the  regular  grain  and  hay  ration.  Without  an 
extra  effort  of  some  kind  the  colt  is  likely  to  give  little  return 
for  the  winter's  feed.  No  use  of  the  milk  will  pay  better.  It 
needs  to  be  continued  only  until  the  colt's  progress  is  well 
under  way.  Feed  sparingly  at  first  and  of  uniform  quantity 
and  condition.  Remember  that  milk  is  a  leed  that  undergoes 
rapid  changes,  and  is  in  addition  exceedingly  subject  to  vary- 
ing conditions.  These  changes  in  condition  will  disturb 
digestion,  and  may  counteract  the  good  effects  of  the  feed  if 
uniformity  in  feeding  is  not  observed.  Colts  or  horses  may 
be  accustomed  to  the  taste  of  milk  by  using  it  first  to  moisten 
ground  food,  or  by  adling  to  water  in  gradually  increasing 
quantities  for  several  days.  A  little  skim-milk  given  at  the 
right  lime  often  decides  the  turning  point  between  a  good 
and  a  cheap  horse,  and  consequently  between  profit  and  loss.

Christmas  Day  Races. 

A  large  number  of  people  witnessed  the  horse  races  that 
took  place  on  Christmas  day  at  the  track,  and  enjoyed  some 
good  sport.  Quite  a  number  of  good  horses  ran,  including 
some  from  Bakersfield  and  other  points.  The  rain  had  made 
the  track  bad,  and  it  was  heavy  going.  The  second  day's  rac- 
ing was  not  so  well  attended,  on  account  of  the  weather,  the 
track  was  in  very  much  better  condition  than  on  the  first  day, 
but  the  steady  rain  all  day  made  it  very  heavy  before  even-

THE    GUN. 


The  Waking1  of  the  Lark. 


CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


An  albino  deer  has  been  killed  near  Foxburg,  Penn, 

It  is  stated  thai  Colgate,  the  cook  of  theCarlin  party,  is  still 
alive  and  five  scouts  have  been  sent  into  the  mountains  lo  find 
him  if  possible.  

Messrs.  Jack  Bassett  and  Frank  Hoebing  killed  between 
fifty  and  sixth  quail  at  Havwards  on  the  1st.  A  good  begin- 
ning for  the  new  year. 

There  are  plenty  of  quail  in  the  hills,  but  the  weather  has 
been  so  decidedlynioist  that  the  quail  hunters  have  not  ven- 
tured out  much,  and  the  holiday  bags  have  been  few. 

A  big  deer  happened  casually  upon  the  town  of  Nehalem 
Oregon,  last  week,  trotted  the  length  of  the  main  street,  me- 
andered iuto  the  backyard  of  a  house,  ambled  through  the 
house  and  out  of  the  front  door  and  then  trotted  out  of  town.

The  cold  snap  of  Wednesday  and  Thursday  has  brought 
quite  a  number  ot  ducks  into  the  marshes  again.  A  local 
sportsman  killed  twenty-three  at  Alviso  on  Thursday  last 
and  reports  a  good  flight.  Sprig,  widgeon  and  teal  composed 
the  bag. 

Canvas-back  are  still  very  plentiful,  but  the  balance  of  the 
duck  family  have  left  the  near-by  marshes  for  a  more  con- 
genial clime.  A  bright  warm  spell  will  undoubtedly  briDg  a 
good  many  of  them  backhand  a  lively  Southeaster  would 
drive  them  from  the  open  waters  to  the  marsh  lands,  but 
duck  shooting  will  doubtless  not  boom  agaiu  in  this  section 
until  another  fall. 


In  a  certain  church  in  Ireland  a  young  priest  was  detailed 
to  preach.  This  occasion  was  his  first  appearance,  and  he 
took  for  his  test  "The  feeding  of  the  multitude." 

"H(  said  :  "  And  they  fed  ten  people  with  10,000  loaves 
and  10,000  fishes." 

An  old  Irishman  said  :  "That's  no  miracle;  begorra,  I 
could  do  that  myself,"  which  the  priest  overheard. 

The  next  Sunday  the  priest  announced  the  same  text,  but 
he  had  it  right  this  time.  He  said  :  "  And  they  fed  10,000 
people  on  ten  loaves  of  bread  and  ten  fishes." 

He  waited  a  second  and  then  leaned  over  the  pulpit  and 
said :  "  And  could  you  do  that,  Mr.  Murphy  ?  " 

Murphy  replied:  "  And  sure,  your  reference,  I  could." 

"  And  how  could  you  do  it !"  said  the  priest. 

"  And  sure,  your  reverence,  1 'could  do  it  with  what  was  left 
over  from  last  Sunday." — Tid  Bits. 


Oh  1  bonnie  bird  !  that  in  the  brake  exultant  dost  prepare  thee, 
|  As  poets  do  whose  thoughts  are  true,  for  wings  that  will  upbearathee; 
Oh  !  tell  me,  tell  me,  bonDie  bird, 
Canst  thou  not  pipe  of  hope  deferred? 

Or  canst  thou  sing  of  naught  but  Spring  among  the  golden  meadows? 

Methinks  a  bard  (.and  thou  art  one)  should  suit  his  song  to  sorrow, 
And  tell  of  pain,  as  well  as  gain,  that  waits  us  on  the  morrow  ! 
But  thou  art  not  a  prophet,  thou, 
It  naught  but  joy  can  touch  thee  now  ; 
If  in  thy  heart  thou  bHSt  no  vow  that  speaks  of  Nature's  anguish. 

!  Oh  !  I  have  held  rav  sorrows  dear,  and  felt  thoueh  poor  and  slighted- 

I  The  songs  we  love  are  those  we  hear  when  love  is  unrequired  ; 

But  thou  art  still  the  slave  of  dawn, 

And  canst  not  sing  till  night  bp  gone. 

Till  o'er  the  pathway  of  the  fawn  the  sunbeams  shine  and  quiver. 

Thou  art  the  minion  of  the  sun  that  rises  in  his  splendor. 

And  canst  not  spare  for  Dian  fair  the  songs  that  Bhould  attend  her. 

The  moon,  so  8ad  and  silvery  pale, 

Is  mistress  of  the  nightingale  ; 
And  thon  wilt  sine  on  hill  and  dale  no  ditties  in  the  darkness. 

,  For  queen  and  king  thou  wiltnot  spare  one  note  of  thine  outpouring ! 
i  Thou  art  as  lree  as  breezes  be  on  Nature's  velvet  flooring. 
The  daisy  with  its  hood  undone. 
The  grass,  the  sunlight,  and  the  sun  ; 
These  are  the  joys  thou  holy  one,  that  pay  thee  for  thy-siugiug. 

Oh,  hush  I  Oh,  hush  !  how  wild  a  gush  of  rapture  iu  the  distance, 
A  roll  of  rhymes,  a  toll  of  chimes  ;  a  cry  for  love's  assistance ; 

A  sonnd  that  wells  from  happy  throats ; 

A  flood  of  song  where  beauty  doats, 
And  whereon  thoughts,  like  golden  boats,  do  seem  to  cross  a  river. 

This  is  the  advent  of  the  lark,  the  priest  in  gray  apparel, 
Who  dost  prepare  to  trill  in  air  his  sinless  summer  carol ; 

This  is  the  prelude  to  the  lay, 

The  birds  did  sing  in  Caesar's  day, 
And  will  again,  for  aye  and  aye,  in  praise  of  God's  creation. 

Oh  !  daintv;thinc,  on  wonder  s  wing,  by  Hie  and  love  elated, 
Oh  !  sing  aloud,  from  cloud  to  cloud,  till  day  is  consecrated  ; 
Till  from  the  gateways  of  the  morn, 
The  sun,  with  all  his  light  unshorn, 
Uis  robes  of  darkness  round  him  torn,  doth  scale  the  lolty  heavens 

— Eric  Mackay. 

The  International  Shooting  Carnival. 


The  following  from  the  London  Shooting  Times  would  in- 
dicate that  a  good  share  of  the  fools  are  on  the  other  side  of 
the  pond,  if  true  :  The  brilliant  career  of  the  member  of  the 
Rhondda  syndicate  of  sportmen  who  distinguished  himself 
Ust  week  by  peppering  a  '"beater"  and  a  woman  has  received 
a  sudden  check.  He  is  himself  among  the  wounded.  When 
he  potted  the  "  beater,"  the  indignation  of  a  worthy  colleague 
— one  of  the  leaders  of  the  party — was  intense.  The  deed  was 
warmly  denounced  by  the  latter  as  really  un  pardonable.  On 
Saturday  retribution  came  with  two  hands  and  gripped  both 
the  critic  and  the  censured.  The  man  of  authority  had  a  shot 
at  a  hare,  and,  instead,  brought  down  the  pepperer  of  the 
"beater"  with  one  shot  above  the  right  eye,  the  others  scat- 
tered promiscuously  over  the  knuckles  and  knees.  And  this 
after  a  previous  eflort  which  had  dotted  the  stock  of  the  vic- 
tim's gun  with  shot  marks.  The  reign  of  terror  may  now  be 
fairly  considered  to  affect  the  members  of  the  syndicate  as 
well  as  the  general  public.     Up  to  date  the  record  reads: 

SHOT   BY   SYNDICATE. 

Une  cow  (for  which  market  price  was  paid). 
"     beater. 
"      woman. 

cock  pheasant  (by  a  stray  shot,  it  is  believed). 
11      rabbit.  "  "  '• 

"     gun-stock  injured. 
"     member  of  syndicate. 

Another  battue  has  been  arranged,  and  a  good  deal  of 
speculation  is  going  on  as  to  the  probable  results.  Resi- 
dents of  the  district  over  which  the  shooting  rights  of  the 
syndicate  extend  are  advised  that  if  they  have  business  en- 
gagements elsewhere  they  will  do  well  to  keep  them. 
Sport  stalks  with  a  grim  visage,  and  many  scalps  in  this

The  Cougar. 


The  question  is  so  often  asked  "What  is  a  cougar?"  and 
the  assertion  made:  "The  puma  and  the  panther  are  tno  dif- 
ferent animals"  we  quote  from  Forest  and  Stream  a  reply. 
I,ew  Wiltnot,  of  Okanogan,  Washington  writes:  "You  ask 
what  is  a  cougar  as  distinguished  from  a  panther  in  the  North- 
west. The  cougar  is  shorter  both  in  body,  neck,  tail  and  legs; 
his  head  is  broader  and  his  legs  larger  and  more  muscular;  he 
i*  gray  and  has  not  a  red  hair  on  htm  and  his  tail  has  a  black 
tuft  on  it."     The  editor's  footnote  is  as  follows 

[The  characteristics  of  the  cougar  given  by  Mr.  Wilmot 
luch  n*  naturalists  regard  as  of  specific  value.  We 
have  seen  panthers  which  were  stout  so  as  to  seem  nhort- 
occked  ana  thick-bodied,  which  hud  broad  heads  ami  were 
gray  in  color.  These  we  have  believed  to  be  old  individual 
The  rounger  ones  are  much  more  Blightly  built  and  seem  to 
Br.  They  are  red  in  color,  often  nearly  ad  red  as  a 
deer  in  the  tommer  com.  There  arc  only  two  species  of  long- 
talled  large  catH  known  in  North  America;  one  is  the  cougar, 
panther  or  puma,  and  the  other  H  Southern  form,  the  jaguar, 
what  i^  spotted  somewhat  like  a  leopard,  and  just  crosses  the 
Rio  Grande  into  Texas.    No  doubt  our  correspondent   has 

Been  grizily  bean  Of  many  colors  hut  we  «lu  n<,|  inia^im;  ih'il 
he  regards  grey  a»  a  good  specific  color  in  the  bears.  The 
deer  is  red  in  summer  and  gray  in  winter,  yet  although  he 
has  a  coat  of  two  colore  at  different  seasons  of  the  year,  he  is 
-till  the  same  animal.  So,  a  panther  may  be  spotted — as  it 
ed  for  the  next  three  or  four  years  of  its 
life,  andafter  that,  if  it  lives  so  long,  grey,  and  it  would  oat- 
grow  more  miscularand  heavier  as  it  grew  older.] 


We  do  not  run  a  great  deal  of  rifle  news  in  these  columns 
for  the  simple  reason  that  in  our  limited  space  we  cannot  do 
the  department  justice,  but  a  subscriber  has  kindly  mailed  us 
the  euclosed  clipping  which,  while  not  so  named,  is  unques- 
tionably from  the  columns  of  the  American  Field.  As  the 
Carnival  is  expected  to  lead  all  previous  efforts  in  this  line 
we  publish  it  with  pleasure. 

The  San  Francisco  Schuelzen  Vereiu  is  making  all  ar- 
rangements for  one  of  the  biggest  shootiug  festivals  that  has 
ever  been  held  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  No  pains  or  expense  is 
to  bespared  to  make  it  a  gigantic  success  and  to  insure 
the  largest  gathering  of  riflemen  ever  seen  iu  this  country. 

Ten  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  prizes  and  trophies  will  be 
awarded  and  riflemen  from  every  part  of  the  United  States 
and  from  al!  foreign  countries  are  invited  to  participate. 
Everything  possible  will  be  done  by  members  of  the  Schuet- 
zen  Verein  to  make  the  stay  of  visitors  pleasant  and  con- 
genial. 

The  festival  will  be  opened  at  Shell  Mound  Park,  Berke- 
ley, February  4,  1894,  with  a  grand  pageant  to  be  composed 
of  all  shooting  organizations  in  the  State.  A  picnic  and  jolli- 
fication will  be  held  ou  the  first  and  second  days  of  the  festi- 
val, and  the  festival  will  conclude  with  a  grand  ball  to  be 
held  at  San  Francisco.  The  shooting  will  be  continued  on 
February  5th,  and  thereafter  will  be  continued  every 
Wednesday  and  Sunday  until  its  conclusion  on  March  25th. 
Should  itbe  found  desirable  or  an  accommodation  to  marks- 
men, additional  shooting  days  will  be  arranged  by  the  com- 
mittee. 

All  prizes  will  be  distributed  at  the  ball,  which  is  to  be  the 
concluding  feature  of  the  festival. 

One  of  the  targets  to  be  shot  at  will  be  known  as  the  Golden 
Gate  target.  It  will  be  a  twelve-inch  circular,  black,  with  a 
three-inch  center  (.white  flag),  one  and  one-half  inch  inter- 
mediate (blue  flag),  and  three-ioch  outside  ring  (red  flag). 
The  entrance  fee  for  100  shots  at  this  target  will  be  $25, 
and  the  prizes  will  be  awarded  to  those  who  make  the  most 
red  flags. 

Asa  souvenir  of  the  festival  a  solid  "Golden  Gate  Medal" 
will  be  awarded  to  each  marksman  upon  his  making  the  first 
flag,  either  red,  white  or  blue.  In  this  competition  prizes  ag- 
gregating $500  will  be  awarded. 

The  Midwinter  Fair  targets  will  contain  twenty-five  three- 
quarter-inch  rings,  and  for  each  entry  of  three  shots  $1  will 
be  charged.  There  will  be  $2,500  wortli  of  prizes,  consisting 
of  a  large  assortment  of  valuable  gold  aud  silver  ware,goblets, 
jewelry,  etc.,  presented  to  the  Verein  by  its  friends  and  ad- 
mirers. 

The  marksman  attaining  the  best  score  will  have  the  privi- 
lege of  first  selection,  the  second  best  comes  next  and  so  on 
until  all  the  prizes  are  taken. 

There  will  be  a  point  target  on  the  same  principal  as  the 
Golden  Gate  target  at  which  entries  of  six  shots  each  will 
cost  $1,  and  prizes  amounting  to  $1,000  will  be  forthcoming, 
$500  to  be  divided  among  "best  centers  "  and  $500  between 
those  making  the  most  points. 

The  man  target  will  represent  the  upper  part  of  a  man's 
body  and  will  be  divided  into  forty  perpendicular  lines.  The 
space  between  the  two  center  lines  will  count  twenty  aud  the 
others  decline  from  these  to  the  right  and  left  down  to  one, 
Costof  entry,  three  shots,  will  be  $1,  and  there  will  be  cash 
prizes  to  the  amount  of  $500. 

There  will  be  a  ring  target,  with  four-shot  entries  $1,  and 
$500  in  cash  prizes,  while  the  marksman  who  attains  the 
highest  average  on  all  targets  (best  centers  only  excluded) 
will  be  proclaimed  King  of  the  Shooting  Festival  aud  will  be 
awarded  a  diamond  king  medal  of  the  value  of  $75. 

There  will  be  military  team  shooting  under  the  immediate 
supervision  of  General  John  H.  Dickinsou,  Colonel  K.  D. 
Laidlaw  and  Colonel  Thomas  F.  Barry.  The  prizes  will  be 
$150  in  trophies  and  $100  in  cash.

The  Extermination  of  "Wild  Fowl. 


Chief  Ornithologist  C.Hart  Merriam  of  the  Agricultural 
Department  said  to  a  correspondent  of  the  New  York  Times 
that  he  knew  of  the  movement  reported  to  have  been  begun 
by  W.  R.  Huntington,  State  Fish  and  Game  Commissioner  of 
Ohio,  to  prevent  the  extermination  of  wild  fowl  by  prohibit- 
ing the  importation  of  their  eggs.  Mr.  Merriam's  attention 
had  been  called  to  the  Columbus  dispatch  printed  in  the  New 
York  Times,  in  which  Commissioner  Huntington  charged 
that  as  a  result  of  the  McKinley  law,  which  levied  a  tax  of  5 
cents  a  djzen  on  birds'  eggs  and  permitted  albumen  to  enter 
free,  millions  of  dozens  of  eggs  of  wild  fowl  that  went  north 
to  breed  were  gathered  annually  and  destroyed  for  the  albu- 
men they  contained.  This  albumen,  according  to  the  dispatch, 
was  dried  and  sent  to  the  United  States. 

While  unacquainted  with  the  situation  revealed  by  Mr. 
Huntington,  Dr.  Merriam  said  that  his  statement  might  be 
strictly  true.  Wild  fowl  had  undoubtedly  suffered  great  de- 
struction through  the  theft  of  their  eggs  by  man.  The  Lab- 
radosduck,  for  instance,  a  magnificent  bird,  had  become  ex- 
tinct years  ago,  and  the  probability  was  that  the  wholesale 
gathering  of  its  eggs  for  food  by  inhabitants  of  the  Labrador 
coast  has  caused  its  final  disappearance. 

The  king  eider  duck,  another  beautiful  species  of  wild  fowl 
which  formerly  was  plentiful  in  South  Labrador,  was  now  be- 
coming scarce,  owing  to  the  work  of  the  egg  hunters.  Fischer's 
eider  duck,  which  bred  in  a  chain  of  islands  extending  about 
360  miles  along  the  coast  of  Alaska,  was  likely  to  become  ex- 
tinct in  the  near  future,  Dr.  Merriam  said,  if  the  egg  gath- 
erers continued  to  despoil  its  nests. 

Among  the  Mingan  Islands,  on  the  northeastern  coast  of 
North  America,  Dr.  Merriam  said  the  natives  employed  dogs 
to  start  the  birds  from  their  nests,  so  that  the  eggs  could  be 
secured.  In  this  way  not  a  nest  was  missed,  aud  the  destruc- 
tion was  naturally  great.  Water  fowl  d)  not  breed  in  the 
United  States  iu  any  considerable  numbers,  preferring  the 
far  North.  ■ 

Dr.  Merriam  is  of  the  opinion  that  the  eggs  of  wild  ducks 
are  gathered  chiefly  for  food.  He  has  no  information  re- 
garding the  commercial  aspsctof  the  wholesale  destruction, 
but  says  without  hesitation  that  if  the  Ohio  Commissioner's 
statement  is  true  somethiug  ought  to  be  done  to  prevent  the 
complete  extermination  of  water  fowl.  The  birds  breed  in 
colonies,  he  says,  and  their  eggs  are  easy  to  secure. 

Dr.  Merriam  corrected  the  statement  in  the  Columbus 
story  that  the  egsr*  of  wild  pigeons  were  gathered  by  millions 
saying  that  the  wild  pigeons'  breeiing  grounds  had  long  since 
been  destroyed,  and  that  the  bird  was  now  exceedingly  rare. 
The  squab  hunters  of  Michigan  anTl  New  York  were,  in  the 
doctor's  opinion,  responsible  for  the  practical  disappearance 
of  this  noble  bird.  He  added  that  it  did  not  seem  possible 
that  the  pigeon  could  be  restored  to  its  former  place  as  a 
leading  game  bird. 

The  value  of  all  albumen  imported  free  last  yeat'  was  but 
$111,000.  The  dutiable  eggs  impoited  were  valued  at  $550,- 
000,  and  the  value  of  egg  yolke  imported  was  an  insignificant 

trifle.

DOINGS   IN  DOGDOM. 


The  American  Field's  report  of  the  Schell-Huber  case  is 
false  from  start  to  finish. 

There  is  another  new  St.  Bernard  in  town,  the  property  cf 
Captain  McAllister,  of  the  ship  Laugdale.  We  will  give  a 
full  description  of  him  in  our  next  issue. 


Mr.  Henry  S.  Cloud,  of^Chieago,  has  purchased  in  England 
the  bull  terrier  bitch  Flowerof  the  Valley  by  britt — Marion 
II.  First  Aberdare  ;  second  Pouders  End  ;  third  Kew  Bridge; 
third  Enfield.  

Mr.  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez  has  placed  his  Australian  grey- 
hounds, Waratah  and  Wattle  Bloom,  in  the  charge  of  that 
well  known  breeder  and  most  successful  trainer,  T.  J.  Coo- 
ney  of  San  Jose.  

The  Australian  fox  terrier  faociers  have  organized  a  fox- 
terrier  club  known  as  the  Southern  Fox  Terrier  Club.  Mr. 
Walter  Beilby  is  president,  Mr.  McLaurin  treasurer  and  Mr. 
Makower  secretary.  

The  dog  Roll  Along,  which  we  stated  last  week  was  the 
property  of  the  judge  and  whose  course  was  judged  by  Mr. 
J.  R.  Dickson,  was  the  property  <  f  Jas.  Grace  and  not  the 
property  of  the  judge  as  we  stated. 

We  have  now  a  fox  terrier  club  in  England,  another  in 
Canada,  another  in  Australia  and  tiro  in  the  United  States. 
Some  of  the  grit  possessed  by  these  game  little  terriers  must 
be  in  the  make-up  of  their  owners  as  well. 

The  Illinois  Kennel  Club  have  been  given  thirty  days  in 
which  to  disprove  the  claim  of  F.  W.  Chapman  for  §30  prize 
money  won  at  the  last  show,  in  default  of  which  the  A.  K.  C. 
will  disqualify  the  officers  and  suspend  the  club. 

The  A.  K.  C.  have  requested  the  New  Jersey  Kennel 
League  to  prefer  charges  again  Dr.  Sattler,  the  man  that  they 
recently  expelled  for  stealing  the  service  of  one  of  Mr.  Bel- 
mont's dogs.     The  same  action  should  be  taken  in  the  Schell 


Mr.  H.  R.  Brown  offers  for  sale  in  our  business  columns 
two  dogs  that  should  be  sold  very  quickly,'Donna  Sensation 
A  7982,  by  Champion  Sensation — Seph  G,  is  thoroughly  field 
and  house  broken  and  is  worth  the  price  asked  as  a  brood 
bitch.  She  wou  first  and  special,  pappy  class,  San  Francisco, 
1886,  first,  San  Francisco.  1888  and  special  for  best  pointer 
in  the  show,  second,  San  Francisco,  1889.  She  has  proven 
herself  a  splendid  brood  bitch.  The  young  dog  Duke  Jr.,  by 
Duke  of  Vernon — Donna  Sensation,  won  first,  San  Francisco, 
1891,  in  puppy  class,  the  only  time  shown,  and  has  been  thor- 
oughly broken  by  Wm.  De  Motte.  We  are  Eorrv  to  be 
obliged  to  add  that  Mr.  Brown  will  shortly  remove  to  Mexico. 
Mr.  Brown  was  one  of  the  pioneers  in  pointer  breeding  on 
this  coast  and  has  owned  and  bred  some  very  good  stock. 

Mr.  A.  B.  Truman  has,  if  the  reports  in  the  dailies  are  true, 
purchased  the  well-known  Irish  setter,  Champion  Dick 
Swiveler  by  Ch.  Bruce — Leigh  Doane  II.  While  one  of  the 
best  Irish  setters  extant  thcstatements  made  in  the  dailies  are 
so  exaggerated  that  we  think  a  few  facts  will  be  interesting. 
His  title  of  champion  is  sufficient  proof  of  his  quality  as  a 
bench  winner  without  stating  that  he  cost  $5000,  when  it  is 
a  well-known  fact  that  he  was  sold  at  auction  recently  for  a 
trifle  over  $100.  The  Examiner  credits  Truman  with  saying 
that  Leigh  Doane  II.  won  several  first  prizes  at  Eastern 
Field  Trials,  and  that  Berkeley  was  another  great  field  trial 
winner.  These  statements  are  false.  Leigh  Doane  II's  only 
win  is  First  Derby,  Phil.  K.  C.  F.  T.,  1885— four  entries. 
Berkeley's  only  win  was  second  Puppy  Stake,  Hampton, 
Iowa,  1877 — seventeen  starters. 

Our  contemporary  states  that  the  first  thoroughbred  dogs 
brought  to  this  coast  were  a  brace  of  English  setters  brought 
here  in  1877-S  by  J.  W.  Knox  of  San  Jose.    What  is  the  mat- 
ter with  P.  McShane's  Gloucester,  by  Leicester — Dart?  Does 
he  not  call  him  well  bred?     Gloucester  was  in  San  Francisco 
1  in  1877.     Mr.  R.  L.  Ogden  purchased,  through  Gen.  York  of 
j  Cincinnati,  O.,  the  Pape  pointer  Tyne,  the  first  black  pointer 
i  ever  on  this  coast,  afterwards  owned  by  J.  K.  Orr.    This  was 
j  in  1872.     Mr.  J.  K.  Orr  imported  to  this  country  the  thor- 
oughbred  Gordon  Setter  bitch  Nellie,  by  Duke,  a  descend- 
ant of  Jobling's  Dandy,  from  Jos.  Jobling,  Warpath,  North- 
umberland, Eng.,  in  1875.    In  1S77  he  imported,  through  Mr. 
Pape,  the  originator  of  the  Pape  pointer,  the  Gordon  Tyne, 
also  a  thoroughbred.     Mr,  Charles  Fairfax,  brought  the  first 
Irish  setter    to  this  coast   in   1852,  a   bitch  called   Beauty. 
John  Lutz,  Col.  A.  J.  Gamble,  Capt.  Frost  and  others  also 
brought  thoroughbred  pointers  and  setters  of  known  breeding 
in  1856  and  7.     Mr.  R.  L.  Ogden  brought  out  Gordon  and 
English  setters  of  known  breeding  in  1856-7.      Harry  Bab- 
cock  brought  out  the  Gordon  Grouse,  purchased   from  the 
well-known  breeder  Horace  Smith,  and  Mr.  Orear,  the  father 
of    our   worthy  corresponding  secretary,  brought   out  Gor- 
dons from  Malcolm  and  others  many  years  ago.       In    the 
early  50's  Jas.  Quinn,  who  kept  the  Willows  and  provided 
for  shooters  at  the  Pioneer  Race  Track,  owned  a  black  and 
white   pointer   that    was    unquestionably    a    thoroughbred. 
j  Can  any  one  tell  us  why  "Payne's  Setter  Organ"  omitted 
all  mention  of  the  black  pointer  and  their  pioneer  owner, 
|  Mr.  James  E.  Watson  ?     Whatever  the  tatter's  record  may 
j  be,  the  records  of  the  blacks  is  beyond  dispute.     We  may 
think  what  we  like  of  their  unfortunate  owner,  but  no  me 
ever  accused  him  of  crookedness  in  a  dog  deal.     Yet  a  boom 
pr  this  scoundrel  Schell  appears  in  the  same  issue. 

"Gazehound"  and  Mr.  T.  W.  Bartels. 


Our    Kings    and    Queens. 


We  are  the  Pacific  Coast  agents  for  Ashmont's  library  in- 
cluding Ashmont's  incomparable  work  "  Kennel  Secrets," 
Ashmont's  "  Diseases  of  the  Dog"  and  B.  Waters'  "Training, 
Handling  and  Kennel  Management."  See  advertisement  in 
our  business  columns. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  A.  K.  C.  Messrs.  Vredenburgh, 
Watson  and  Taylor  were  appointed  a  committee  of  three  to 
meet  a  like  committee  from  the  Canadian  Kennel  Club  to  de- 
vise some  means  toward  the  establishment  of  a  new  compact 
between  the  two  clubs. 

The  Chicago  Kennel  Club  committed  a  grave  eiror  in 
holding  their  bench  show  on  Sunday.  Even  in  San  Francisco, 
where  there  is  much  less  of  the  Puritan  element  than  in  any 
city  in  the  East,  this  wonld  be  a  very  unpopular  action.  In 
the  East  it  is  very  rightly  condemned. 

The  action  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  in  unanimously  en- 
dorsing the  action  of  their  committee  in  expelling  Mr.  Schell 
and  exonerating  Mr.  Huller,  is  the  most  emphatic  endorse- 
ment of  our  report  of  the  proceedings  that  could  possibly 
be  given.  This  endorsement  publicly  and  officially  brands 
Payne's  report  as  a  false  statement. 

In  the  future  the  vapid  utteringsof  the  paper  that  we  have 
honored  by  naming  as  our  city  contemporary  will  not  be 
noticed  in  these  colums.  We  have  exposed  his  ignorance  and 
trickery  until  every  reader  has  been  warned  and  can  judge 
for  himself.  More  would  be  a  surfeit.  The  "friend"  of  Schell 
is  beneath  the  notice  of  an  honest  man. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — In  your  December 
16th  number,  in  your  forenote  to  the  letter  of  Mr.  Milward 
Hewitt,  you  ask  that  Mr.  Hewitt  or  I  will  point  out  where 
"  Gazehound "  gave  offense  to  Mr.  T.  W.  Bartels.  Well, 
really,  I  don't  know,  I  never  heard  from  Mr.  Bartels  on  the 
subject,  but  in  the  original  article  of  "Gazehound"  in  your's 
September  30th,  he  wrote:  "Did  Mr.  Bartels  then  do  what  he 
said  he  would  ?  Not  a  bit  of  it."  Now,  if  this  had  been  said 
of  me,  I  certainly  would  have  thought  it  offensive,  whether  I 
took  offense  or  not  Further  in  the  same  article  "  Gaze- 
hound "says:  "  And  these  are  the  sportsmen  that  for  the 
sake  of  a  few  paltry  dollars  would,  after  they  were  beaten 
fairly  and  squarely.try  to  take  advantage  of  a  rule  in  the  code 
by  twisting  and  turning  its  meaning/'  Nobody  had  any 
"dollars"  at  stake  that  I  know  of,  save  Mr.  T.  W.  Bartels, 
and  if  this  isn't  a  most  emphatic  intimation  that  he  would 
twist  rules  for  the  sake  of  a  few  dollars,  I  must  comfess  my 
ignorance  of  the  English  language.  I  have  but  little  know- 
ledge of  Mr.  T.  W.  Bartels,  having  had  but  one  of  two  letters 
from  him,  although  I  have,  and  long  have  been,  a  constant 
correspondent  of  Mr.  L.  F.  Bartels,  but  I  am  quite  sure  that 
j  Mr.  T.  W.  Bartels  fought  that  case  far  more  for  the  principle 
i  than  for  the  money  involved,  and  I  may  point  out  his  recent 
!  waiving  of  his  right  to  claim  a  forfeit,  and  allowing  his  com- 
petitor to  substitute  another  hound  for  the  one  nominated  in 
I  the  "  match  "  effectually  disposes  of  aspersions  on  his  sports- 
manship. Yours  truly,  W.  Wade. 
Hulton,  Pa.,  Dec.  22,  1893, 


We  announce  with  many  regrets  the  death  of  Mr.  L.  D. 
OwenB*  St.  Bernard  bitch  Lady  Grace,  by  Gillott — Victoria 
at  ^Etna  Springs.  It  is  supposed  that  the  bitch  was  pois- 
oned, and  her  stomach  has  been  brought  to  this  city  for 
analvsis.  She  weighed  175  pounds  at  twelve  months  old, 
and  will  be  remembered  as  the  winner  of  first  in  the  bitch 
puppy  closs  at  the  last  show.  She  was  the  most  promis- 
ing bitch  ever  raised  on  this  coast,  and  the  loss  is  a  severe 
to  the  fancy. 

Our  contemporary  says  that  Great  Danes  are  not  popular 
here.  Up  to  1893  the  Great  Danes  were  the  most  popular 
large  dog  on  the  coast.  Now  the  St.  Bernards  have  the 
palm.  In  1886  the  bench  show  brought  out  4  Great  Danes,  2 
mastiffs,  3  St.  Bernards  and  S  Newfoundlands.  In  1889,  5 
Great  Danes,  11  mastiffs,  6  St.  Bernards.  In  1891,  11  Great 
Danes,  7  mastiffs,  15  St.  Bernards  and  1  Newfoundland.  In 
1892,  12  Great  Danes,  6  mastiffs,  11  St.  Bernards  and  5  New- 
foundlands. In  1893,  12  Great  Danes,  lb  mastiffs,  27  St. 
Bernardsand  10  Newfoundlands.  Yet,  if  a  stranffer  should 
walk  about  the  city  hewoidd  get  the  impression  that  there  are 
two  Great  Danes  to  every  St.  Bernard  and  there  undoubtedly 
is,  though  they  are  not  ^owned  by  exhibitors.  Because  the 
Great  Dane  men  do  not  patronize  him,  he  would  cut  their 
throats,  literally  speaking. 


The  Schell— Huber  Case. 


The  American  Field  copies  from  our  contemporary  his  in- 
famous report  of  the  above  named  case  and  heads  the  clip- 
ping with  the  following  lines :  "Our   contemporary,  

,  which  comments  at  length  and  impartially  (italics  ours) 

on  the  trial  and  the  verdict,  is  evidently  not  satisfied — appar- 
ently with  good  reason — with  the  decision  arrived  at  in  the 
case  of  Mr.  Huber,  and  urges  that  the  pointer  puppies  Bold 
by  Mr.  Huber  as  the  produce  of  Glenbeigh  and  Sally  Brass 
II,  be  denied  registration." 

We  would  like  to  ask  the  American  Field  by  what  authori- 
ty it  calls  this  infamous  false  report  of  Payne's  impartial? 
A  more  Dartial  article  never  was  written.  We  do  not  deny 
the  possibility  of  Mr.  Huber's  guilt,  but  we  have  stated  a  num- 
ber of  times  in  these  columns  that  the  committee  could  not  do 
anything  else  under  the  circumstances  that  exonerate  him. 
Mr.  E.  W.  Briggs,  our  worthv  president,  Mr.  Clarence  A. 
Haight,  our  treasurer,  Mr.  Clioe,  the  most  interested  outside 
party,  and  many  of  the  witnesses  and  members  present  have 
denounced  Payne's  report  as  false  in  its  detail  and  deductions 
and  have  declared  the  Breeder  ajjd  Sportsmn's  report  to 
be  absolutely  correct.  The  committee  have  modestly  kept 
quiet  but  in  justice  to  themselves  and  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman's  representative,  we  think  it  is  about  time  that 
they  said  something  in  print.

FacificjKennel  Club. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club 
at  21  Kearny  street  on  January  3d,  brought  out  fifteen  mem- 
bers— Messrs.  Briggs,  Haight,  Orear,  Wattson,  Bier,  Higgs, 
Payne,  Williams,  Golcher,  Wakeman,  Crowell,  Sammi,  Lors- 
bach,  Schreiber  and  Poole,  President  E.  W.  Briggs  in  the 
chair.  The  Treasurer  reported  $861.04  in  the  treasury.  Mr . 
T.J.  Wattson  being|the  only  member  of  the  Finance  Commit- 
tee present,  the  Chairman  appointed  Capt.  Poole  and  E.  H. 
Williams  to  act  in  that  capacity  pro  tem.  Several  delinquent 
members  were  reported,  but  as  the  members  present  thought 
that  the  balance  of  them  would  stay  with  the  club  if  al- 
lowed further  time,  the  only  name  dropped  from  the  roll 
was  that  of  H.  W.  M.  Sandbach.  The  resignations  of  F. 
B.  Lake,  E.  A.  Rix  and  George  B.  Berrill  were  read  and 
accepted. 

The  officers  of  the  club  acting  as  a  commttee  reported 
their  action  regarding  the  charges  against  Messrs.  E.  P. 
Schell  and  Henry  Huber,  as  has  previously  been  reported  in 
these  columns. 

On  motion  of  T.  J.  Wattson,  seconded  by  E.  H.  Williams, 
the  action  of  the  committee  was  endorsed  by  the  club  unan- 
imously. T.  J.  Wattson  then  moved,  and  C.  A.  Haight  sec- 
onded the  motion,  |that  the  Secretary  be  instructed  to  file 
charges  with  the  American  Kennel  Club  against  E.  P.  Schell. 
Carried. 

The  Bench  Show  Committee,  according  to  the  By-Laws, 
should  have  been  elected  at  the  December  meeting.  As  the 
matter  had  been  overlooked  it  was  suggrsted  by  Mr.  Haight 
and  so  ordered  that  a  special  meeting  be  called  for  January 
10th,  for  the  purpose  of  electing  this  committee.  This  is  an 
important  matter,  and  we  trust  the  members  will  turn  out  in 
sufficient  numbers  to  crowd  the  room. 

President  Briggs  spoke  of  the  recent  dog  poisoning  case  at 
Stockton,  and  on  motion  of  Mr.  Lorebach,  Mr.  Briggs,  as 
President  of  the  club,  was  requested  to  write  to  James  Budd, 
the  attorney  for  the  prosecution,  urging  him  to  do  his  ut- 
most to  convict  the  scoundrel  as  an  example  to  other  mali- 
ciously inclined  brutes  of  the  same  class.

Portland  vs.  Oregon. 


The  matter  of  priority  between  the  Portland  Kennel  Club 
and  Oregpn  Kennel  Club,  which  we  have  several  times  noted 
in  these  columns  was  brought  before  the  American  Kennel 
Club  at  its  regular  quarterly  meeting  on  December  21st.  The 
American  Field  reports  the  proceedings  as  follows: 

Mr.  Vredenburgh  :  Mr.  Chairman,  during  your  absence 
we  had  two  applications  for  membership  from  Portland, 
Oregon;  one  from  the  Portland  Kennel  Club  and  the  other 
from  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club.  We  secured  affidavits  from 
both  clubs  regarding  the  date  of  the  organization,  and  the 
action  of  this  club  was  entirely  upon  the  affidavits  tha(  we  re- 
ceived, which  action  was  that  we  elected  the  Portland  Kennel 
Club,  because  it  appeared  from  the  affidavits  submitted  that 
the  Portland  Kennel  Club  had  organized  three  days  before 
that  effected  by  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club.  On  November  10th 
I  received  a  letter  from  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club,  which  is  as 
follows : 

Portland,  Ore.,  Nov.  10,  1S93. 
"  To  the  Secretary  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  New 
York:— Noting  the  "proceedings  of  the  American   Kennel 
Club  at  their  last  meeting  in  the  American  Eield,  wherein  a 
motion  was  made  to  grant  a  charter  to  the  Portlaud  Keunel 
Club  instead  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club,  the  latter  club  im- 
mediately held  a  meeting  in  regard  to  the  same,  and  a  com- 
mittee was  appointed  to  correspond  with  the  American  Ken- 
nel Club  in  reference  to  said  charter.and  in  accordance  there- 
with we  most  earnestly  solicit  your  careful  attention  to  the 
facts  which  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  set  forth.     We  still  in- 
sist that  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  was  the  first  to   organize 
and  feel  certain  that  we  are  able  to   prove  such  to  be  a  fact, 
and   that  the   Portlaud   Kennel   Club  are  obtaining    their 
charter  by  fraud  and  misrepresentation  in  claiming  to  have 
organized  on  the  10th  of  April,  three  days  prior  to  that  of 
the  Oregon  Kennel  Club ;  we  have  positive  proof  to  the  con- 
trary, if  given  an  opportunity  to  set  it  before  the  American 
Kennel  Club.    Our  club  is  composed  of  many  old  and  reliable 
business  men  who  .vould  not  lend  their  names  or  assistance 
to  these  proceedings  were  they  not  truthful  and  correct.  We 
feel  that  we  are  justly  entitled  to  the  charter  under  the  con- 
stitution and  precedents  of  the  sovereign  club,  and  we  do  not 
propose  to  be  undermined  by  unscrupulus  parties  without  an 
effort    to  attain    that    which  rightly    belongs    to  us    after 
many  months  of  labor  and  hearty  effort,  for  we  have  proof 
that  we    are    being    outwitted    by  a    disappointed    office- 
seeker     who     would     not     hesitate     at    any     unscrupulous 
trick   to   supersede  us   in   getting  a  charter  and  who  wisely 
keeps  in  the  dark  and  leaves  his  name  uomentioned  for  ob- 
vious reasons.  The  president  of   the  Portland  Kennel  Club 
admitted  to  our  secretary  that  he  knew  nothing  of  his  own 
election  to  the  office  until  after  the  meeting  of  said  club — 
their  motto  was 'anything  for  a  charter'  and  'any  way  to  get 
it  ahead  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club.'  We  further  truly  be- 
lieve that  it  is  not  so  much  the  welfare  of  the  dog  world 
which  these  parties  have  at  heart  as  it  is  to  spite  the  Oregon 
Kennel  Club,  as  one  of  their  party  remarked  that  '  any  dirty 
work  goes'  in  this  case.   Now,  what  we  earnestly  petition  the 
American  Kennel  Club  to  do,  is  to  appoint  a  member  of  your 
organization  to  come  to  Portland  (at  our  expense)  and  fully 
and  impartially  investigate  all  the  facts  in   this   controversy, 
and  we  will  cheerfully  abide  bv  his  decision.     We  would  sug- 
gest that  an  officer  of  the  Seattle  (Wash.)  Kennel  Club  be 
appointed  to  come  over  here,  and  we  are  satisfied  that   the 
American  Kennel  Club  will  find   that  these  statements  are 
truthful  and  correct,  and  we  ask,  in  justice  between  man  and 
man,  that  the  charter,  if  not  already  granted,  to  the  Portland 
Kennel  Club,  be  withheld  until  such  investigation  can  be  had 
and  if  the  charter  has  been  granted,  that  the  same  be  re- 
voked and  given  to  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club,  provided  always 
that  we  can  prove  priority  of  organization.     The  reason  we 
suggest  the  Seattle  Club  is  because  of  the  short  distance  to 
Portland  and,  consequently,  less  expense  to  us. 

"  Trusting  to  have  favorable  consideration  of  our  plea,  we 
subscribe  for  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club. 

Joseph  R.  Bowles,  President, 
Fred  A.  Dunham,  Secretary, 
Chairman  Bench  Show  Committee. 
Gko.  A.  Strow, 
L.  A.  Wheeler." 

Since  receiving  that  I  have  received  a  communication  from 
the  Seattle  Kennel  Club,  dated  December  15,  as  follows  : 
"Seattle  Kennel  Club. 
"Seattle,  Wash.,  Dec.  15,1893. 
"  Mr.  A.  P.  Vrkiiesbi'rgh,  Secretary  American  Kennel 
Club,  Koe.  44-46  Broadway,  New  York — Dear  Sir — We  beg 
to  call  your  attention  to  the  controversy  existing  between  the 
Oregon  Kennel  Club  and   the  Portland  Kennel   Club,  said 
clubs  being  in  the  city  of  Portland,  Ore.,  as  to  which  club  had 
the  prior  organization. 

"  The  Portland  Kennel  Club,  wc  understand,  has  represen- 
ted that  they  were  organized  09  the  10th  of  April  Inst,  and 
from  that  showing  were  given  the  franchise  of  your  club  for 
the  city  of  Portland. 

"  At  a  meeting  of  this  club  held  this  evening  Mr.  G.  C. 
Btrow,  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club,  was  present  and  laid  be- 
fore our  club  nov.  staining  call  for  organization  of 
the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  under  date  of  April  8,  also  other 
newspapers  showing  that  the  organization  Was  perfected  on 
tbe  18th,  and  that  at  that  meeting  among  other  officers  elec- 
ted, Mr.  O.  L.  Williams  was  elected  to  the  position  of  finan- 
cial secretary  and  treasurer. 

"  From  the  representation  of  Mr.  BtrOW  \'.  appears  that  Mr. 
Williams  was  very  desirou  ol  obtaining  Uie  position  of  cor- 
reeponding  ecretarr,  and  failing  in  thai  withdrew  entirely 
from  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  and  organized  the  Portland 
Keniifi  I  lnb,tboagh  his  name  did  not  appeal  publicly. 

"  At  the  preaenl  time,  however,  we  were  informed  that  he 
holu  rotary  of  the  last  named 

club. 

"From  the  showing  of  Mr.  Strow,  which  Beems  to  us  that 
at  leiixt  there  u  a  verv  grave  question  as  to  which  club  has 
the  title  to  priority  of  organization,  and  in  the  interest  of 
fair  play  and  of  honest  and  clean  sportsmanship  on  the  Pa- 
cific Coast,  we  respectfully  ask  yon  to  lay  this  matter  before 
the  American  Kennel  t  ] ul.  at  their  coming  meeting  for  such 
action  a-s  it  may  in-  their  pleasure  '"  lake. 

Club  lias  agreed  I  I  the  ex- 

panses of  the  men,  art  of  the  club  going  to  Portland  to  iovea- 
?e  the  facts  as  h.  may  find  them  and  report  to  your   hon- 
l>ody. 
"  We  would  therefore  .suggest,  as  a  member  of  the  Ameri- 
Kennel  Club,  thai  it  might  not  be  out  of  place  that  yon 


decide  as  to  what  plan  to  pursue  in  order  that  this  contro- 
versy may  be  settled  as  amicably  and  as  soon  as  possible. 
Very  respectfully,  Seattle  Kennel  Club, 

By  F.  R.  Atkins,  Secretary." 

Mr.  Morris :  I  move  that  this  matter  be  reconsidered. 

Mr.  Mortimer:  I  think  before  such  motion  is  entertained 
it  would  be  well  to  take  into  consideration  the  testimony  of 
an  associate  member,  a  member  in  good  standing,  Mr.  W.  L. 
Washington,  who  visited  Portland  last  summer,  and  re- 
ported very  favorably  on  the  Portland  Club.  He  thought 
that  club,  being  the  first  club  organized,  and  representing  a 
better  class  of  people,  who  really  had  the  interest  of  the  dog 
at  heart,  should  be  recognized,  and  he  very  strongly  recom- 
mended their  admission.  I  do  not  see  how  we  can  reconsider 
this  unless  we  have  some  very  strong  evidence  to  act  upon. 

Mr.  Schellhass:  Even  though  we  may  have  made  a  mis- 
take in  admitting  the  wrong  club,  I  think  if  we  reconsider  the 
matter  at  this  late  date  that  the  remedy  might  be  a  great 
deal  worse  than  the  evil.  I  move  that  the  Secretary  be  in- 
structed to  inform  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  that  no  action  can 
be  taken  in  the  matter  at  this  time. 

Mr.  Mortimer  produced  and  read  a  letter  from  the  Secre- 
tary of  the  Portland  Kennel  Club,!in  which  it  was  stated  that 
that  club  was  very  desirous  of  holding  its  first  Bench  Show 
in  May,  1894,  and  would  like  to  have  everything  in  connec- 
tion with  the  show  as  near  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club  as  possible. 

The  motion  of  Mr.  Schellhass  that  the  secretary  be  in- 
structed to  notify  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  that  it  is  too  late 
for  the  American  Kennel  Club  to  reconsider  the  matter  was 
seconded. 

Mr.  Fisk:  There  being  charges  of  fraud  against  the  offi- 
cers of  the  Portland  Kennel  Club,  we  how  have  the  right  to 
investigate  those  charges  with  perfect  propriety,  it  seems  to 
me. 

Mr.  Schellhass'  motion  was  put  to  vote,  and  lost. 

Dr.  Foote  :  I  move  that  the  matter  be  turned  over  to  the 
Advisory  Committee  for  the  purpose  of  investigating  the 
charges.     Motion  seconded. 

Mr.  Vredenburgh  :  I  would  like  to  impress  it  upon  the 
minds  of  delegates  that  the  true  reason  for  tbe  acceptance  of 
the  Portland  Kennel  Club  was  upon  an  affidavit  that  they 
sent  here  showing  that  they  were  organized  two  or  three  days 
in  advance  of  the  affidavits  received  from  the  Oregon  Kennel 
Club.  Mr.  Washington's  letter  of  recommendation  was  also 
read,  but  the  true  reason  for  the  acceptauceof  the  club  was  its 
priority  of  organization.  However,  the  Oregon  Kennel 
Club,  which  was  not  elected,  make  grave  charges  against  the 
Portland  Kennel  Club,  I  think  it  is  the  duty  of  the  delegates 
to  investigate  those  charges. 

Dr.  Foote's  motion  to  refer  to  Advisory  Committee  carried. 


Coursing   at  Newark. 

As  sickness  prevented  our  attending  the  recent  meet;ng  at 
Newark,  Cal.,  we  publish  the  report  printed  by  the  Call. 
Knowing  that  it  was  written  by  one  of  the  best  authorities 
on  coursing  in  tbe  United  States : 

Great  coursing  has  frequently  been  seen  at  Newark  Park, 
but  the  sport  on  Sunday  last  equaled  anything  6een  there. 
Indeed,  Merced  never  showed  such  sport,  and  it  is  question- 
able if  anything  like  it  was  ever  seen  on  the  famous  Altcar,  a 
place  made  classic  by  the  achievements  of  such  giants  of  the 
coursing  field  as  Master  McGrath,  Coomassie  and  Fullerton. 
About  two  hundred  of  the  followers  of  the  leash  journeyed 
Sunday  morning  to  Newark,  and  on  arrival  in  the  field  the 
weather  was  really  unpleasant.  A  bitter  cold  wind  swept 
down  from  the  coast  ranges,  and  of  course  overcoats  and  muf- 
flers were  in  keen  demand,  while  the  sun  of  California  strug- 
gled almost  in  vain  for  hours  to  burst  through  the  heavy 
atmosphere,  a  task  which  it  eventually  succeeded  in  doing 
about  1  o'clock. 

It  is  really  difficult  to  say  which  of  the  dogs  did  tbe  best, 
as  there  were  so  many  wonderful  courses.  Jack  Dempsey, 
however,  came  out  on  top,  defeating  in  his  course  through 
the  stake  such  well-known  flyers  as  the  great  Skyrocket,  Mar- 
velous and  Long  John,  besides  turning  over  good  dogs  like 
Swift  and  White  Rustic. 

Another  dog  that  astonished  his  owner  and  the  crowd  at 
large  was  Long  John  in  his  courses  with  Vida  Shaw,  Sting 
and  Dottie  Dimple.  His  run  with  Sting  was  in  all  probability 
the  greatest  course  ever  run  in  Newark  and  will  be  remem- 
bered for  months  to  come  among  the  leashmen.  There  was 
always  a  belief  among  the  greyhound  men  that  the  big  brindle 
could  not  stay  in  a  long  course,  but  be  settled  conclusively 
that  question  Sunday  last  and  proved  beyond  a  doubt  that  he 
is,  when  fit  and  well,  a  great  greyhound. 

Another  one  that  showed  extraordinary  power  and  speed 
was  T.  J.  Cronin's  Dotty  Dimple,  and  were  it  not  that  she 
got  another  hare  afte*  beating  her  brother  Relief  in  thethird 
round  she  would  certainly  have  defeated  Long  John  in  the 
fourth  round,  and  great  as  was  his  running  he  only  defeated 
her  by  one  or  two  points. 

P.  D.  Nolan's  Sting,  too,  did  wonders,  and  it  is  questionable 
if  Mr.  Grace  ever  judged  such  a  course  as  that  between  this 
dog  and  Long  John.  It  surely  lasted  five  minutes,  if  not 
more.  Queen  of  the  Valley,  too,  ran  well,  but  in  her  first 
course  with  Jennie  G  she  broke  or  dislocated  a  toe,  which  of 
course  left  her  in  the  second  round  a  comparatively  easy  op- 
ponent for  Dotty  Dimple. 

Skyrocket,  it  must  be  admitted,  did  not  run  with  his  accus- 
tomed brilliancy,  for  in  his  first  course  with  Longfellow  he 
barely  saved  himself  from  defeat  by  the  escape  of  the  hare, 
which  brought  the  judge's  cap  off,  and  in  the  next  trial  de- 
feated Longfellow  with  no  great  amount  of  sport.  In  his 
courses  with  Jack  Deinpsev  in  the  third  round  he  led  Jack 
a  little  better  than  a  length  until  very  near  the  game,  and 
then  Jack  put  on  a  spurt  that  brought  both  dogs  together 
against  the  fence,  and  as]  the  hare  broke  away  Dempsey  was 
the  quickest  in  pursuit,  turned,  killed  and  won. 

'  >f  the  dogs  defeated  in  the  first  round  Mr.  La  Cunha's 
dog,  Swift,  deserves  especial  mention  for  the  determined 
manner  in  which  he  stuck  to  Jack  Dempsey  in  a  grueling 
course,  and  most  assuredly  when  this  young  dog,  if  taken 
proper  care  of,  comes  to  maturity,  Mr.  La  Cunha  will  have 
the  pleasure  of  seeing  him  at  the  finish  of  a  stake  before  the 
season  closes. 

The  hares  that  furnished  such  wonderful  sport  came  from 
the  Tulare  district,  and  to  say  that  they  were  llyers  can 
scarcely  give  a  correct  idea  of  what  they  were.  John  Dugao 
said  f  hey  were  of  a  somewhat  different  species  to  any  yet  im- 
ported to  the  park — "birds"  he  called  them. 

After  the  first  round  of  the  card  was  finished  a  most  pleas- 
ing event  took  place.    The  committee  of  the  club,  standing 


on  the  steps  of  the  stand,  asked  Mr.  Grace  to  come  up  among 
them,  and  as  he  did  so  Domioick  Shannon,  president  of  the 
club,  turned  toward  him  and  addressing  him  in  that  easy 
manner  for  which  he  is  well  known,  handed  to  Mr.  Grace  a 
beautiful  gold  watch  with  his  monogram  engraved  on  the 
back  and  also  on  the  locket  attached. 

Mr.  Grace  was  certainly  taken  by  surprise,  as  the  affair 
had  been  kept  a  secret,  for  it  is  well  known  that  he  always  re- 
fused any  compensation,  and,  indeed  forbade  any  attempt  at 
making  him  any  kind  of  returns  for  his  services  as  judge.  On 
this  occasion,  however,  he  was  completely  iu  the  hands  of 
bis  friends,  and  he  had  to  surrender  to  the  inevitable.  Turn- 
ing to  Mr.  Shannon,  he  accepted  the  gift  in  a  few  fitting  words. 
Three  cheers  for  Mr.  Grace  were  given  with  a  will.  The 
watch  cost  $150. 

Tne  coursing  then  proceeded,  and  the  thirty-dog  stake 
was  finished  by  4:30  P.  ar...  with  the  fallowing  result : 

First  round — T  J  Cronin's  Jack  Dempsy  beat  A  A  La 
Cunha's  Swift;  J  Dean's  White  Rustic  beat  J  O'Shea's  Fear- 
less; J  H  Perigo's  Wee  Lassie  ran  a  bye;  P.  Curtis'  Skyrocket 
beat  J  H  Perriso's  Longfellow;  T  Creedon's  Relief  beat  P 
Tiernan's  Mary  Ann;  W  Perrie's  Coomassie  beat  P  Tiernan's 
Glenade;  T  J  Cronin's  Dotty  Dimple  beat  J  Dowhng's  Chief 
of  the  Valley;  J  Dowling's  Queen  of  the  Valley  beat  T  J 
Cronin's  Jennie  G;  E  Geary's  Bonnie  Lass  beat  A  A  La 
Cunha's  Diablo;  J  J  Edmonds'  Pride  of  the  Park  beat  A  A 
La  Cunha's  Quick;  J  Cranston's  Marvelous  beat  T  Tracy's 
Swede;  H  McCracken's  Twilight  beat  S  A  Cumming's  White 
Cloud;  P  Tiernau's  Long  John  beat  A  A  La  Cunha's  Lion;  J 
Edmonds'  Vida  Shaw  beat  P  Curtis'  Rockette;  P  J  Nolan's 
Sting  beat  J  G  Thomson's  Surprise. 

Second  round — Jack  Dempsy  beat  Russell,  Skyrocket  beat 
Wee  Lassie,  Relief  beat  Coomassie,  Dotty  Dimple  beat  Queen 
of  the  Valley,  Pride  of  the  Park  beat  Bonnie  Lass,  Mar- 
velous beat  Twilight,  Long  John  beat  Vida  Shaw,  Sting  ran 
a  bye. 

Third  round — Jack  Dempsy  beat  Skyrocket,  Dotty  Dimple 
beat  Relief,  Marvelous  beat  Pride  of  the  Park,  Long  John  beat 
Sling. 

Fourth  round — Jack  Dempsy  beat  Marvelous,  Long  John 
beat  Dotty  Dimple. 

Final — Jack  Dempsy  beat  Long  John  and  won  the  stake — 
$60;  Long  John  took  $30,  and  Dotty  Dimple  and  Marvelous 
§15  each. 

THE   CONSOLATION   STAKE. 

The  first  on  Monday,  the  course  between  Glenade  and 
Chief  of  the  Valley  was  a  fine  one  and  taxed  the  dogs  to  a 
considerable  extent.  The  Chief  eventually  got  the  flag. 
Sting  and  Coomassie  had  also  a  pretty  course,  bnt  though 
Sting  led  to  the  game  Mr.  Perry's  handsome  little  bitch  out- 
worked him  in  a  pretty  conrse  and  won.  Bonnie  Lassie  in 
the  following  trial  run  made  short  work  of  Quick  in  a  course 
across  the  field.  Longfellow  also  had  an  easy  thing  with  Lion. 
Swift  and  Jennie  G.  had  a  fine  course,  the  latter  winning  by 
doing  most  of  the  work  in  the  beginning  of  the  run.  Swift 
then  extinguished  his  chance  by  killing  too  soon.  Mary  Ann 
had  a  fine  course  with  Relief.  She  was  too  clever  for  him 
and  won  with  something  to  spare. 

In  the  second  round  Coomassie  bsat  Chief  of  the  Valley, 
Longfellow  beat  Bonnie  Lass  and  Mary  Ann   beat  Jennie  G. 

The  two  courses  for  the  finals  between  Coomassie  and  Long- 
fellow and  that  between  Coomassie  and  Mary  Ann  was  very 
good,  and  the  last  especially  was  excellent.  The  hare  was  a 
rattler,  too.  Mary  Ann  got  the  lead  by  a  bare  length  from 
Coomassie,  and  then  took  place  some  clever  work  between 
both  dogs  and  the  hare,  causing  no  small  amount  of  surprise 
to  the  onlookers.  Point  for  point  was  scored  by  the  dogs,  but 
Mary  Ann  had  always  a  little  the  best  in  the  running,  and 
when  Coomassie  eventually  snapped  up  the  hare  Mary  Aon 
had  the  most  to  her  credit  and  won  first  money — $18.  Coomas- 
sie got  $S  and  Longfellow  $5.

Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials. 


The  conditions  for  a  successful  field  trial  continues  fav- 
orable. We  have  had  quite  a  spell  of  weather  and  it  is 
reasonable  to  suppose  that  it  cannot  rain  quite  all  the  time, 
and  the  wish  is  doubtless  the  father  to  the  thought  that  the 
weather  will  be  fine  during  the  trial,  for  our  especial  benefit. 
While  not  stated  as  a  positive  fact,  it  is  thought  that  a  round 
trip  excursion  rate  of  $5  will  be  given  by  the  S.  P.  Co.  As 
the  hotel  and  livery  accommodations  will  be  at  reasonabie 
rates,  the  trip  will  not  be  an  espeneive  one  without  the 
sportsmen  wish  to  make  it  so,  and  in  consequence  tbe  trials 
will  bring  out  the  largest  attendance  ever  known  in  this  State. 
The  All-Age  Stake  will  be  not  only  large  but  of  unusual  good 
quality.  The  judges  selected,  Messrs.  Vandevort,  Pyle  and 
Dormer,  are  men  of  tried  merit  and  unquestionable  integrity. 
Some  complaint  has  reached  us  that  the  grounds  upon  which 
the  trainers  are  situated  are  not  sufficiently  open  for  good 
work,  but  it  is  claimed  that  the  grounds  upon  which  the  trials 
will  be  run  are  much  better  and  that  quail  are  more  than 
abundant.

Old  John  Davis. 


The  father  of  all  Western  trainers,  Old  John 
Davis,  is  wintering  at  the  Fair  Grounds,  says 
the  St.  Louis  Republic.  The  old  man  is  a 
great  character.  He  is  hale  aud  hearty,  and 
to  see  him  one  would  not  belive  that  70  win- 
ters have  come  and  gone  since  he  first  saw  the 
light  of  day.  He  is  a  turf  character,  and 
many  are  the  stories  recited  about  him  when 
the  horsemen  gather  about  the  stove  these 
wintry  days.  The  old  man  is  wonderfully 
well  educated,  and  is,  perhaps,  overfond  of 
displaying  his  proficiency  in  this  regard  by 
using  all  of  the  10-syllabled  words  in  Web- 
ster's during  a  five-minute  conversation. 
Nearly  two  decades  ago  he  trained  for  the  late 
Colonel  O'Fallon.  That  was  in  the  days  when 
the  big-hearted  St.  Louisan  owned  the  crack 
string  in  the  West.  About  this  time,  John, 
he  was  not  Old  John  then,  secured  a  copy  of 
Gibbon's  "Decline  and  Fall  of  the  Roman 
Empire."  Every  night  John  would  corral 
the  colored  stable  boys  in  his  quarters  and 
read  to  them  a  chapter.  He  closely  watched 
his  charges,  and  when  a  curly  head  would  nud 
he  would  solemnly  lay  aside  the  precious  vol- 
ume, take  down  a  whip  and  castigate  the 
sleepy  culprit.  Then  the  reading  would  be 
resumed. 

It  is  about  fifteen  years  since  Colonel 
O'Fallon  decided  to  send  bis  string  to  Sarato- 
ga to  meet  some  of  the  Eastern  cracks.  Plan- 
tagenet,  the  good  son  of  Planet,  was  then  at 
his  best.  The  Banshee  was  another  of  the 
string,  and  a  more  than  servicable  member, 
too.  Arriving  at  Horse  Haven  John  was  as- 
signed to  quarters  nest  those  occupied  by 
Pierre  Lorillard's  horse*.  It  was  not  long 
before  the  most  wonderful  tales  of  the  goings- 
on  in  the  O'Fallon  stable  began  to  be  in  circu- 
lation. The  trainer  was  quietly  ridiculed,  but 
he  soon  taught  his  rivalry  to  respect  him  by 
pulling  down  race  after  race.  Mr.  Lorillard 
and  the  late  D.  D.  Withers,  the  lamented  sase 
of  Brookdale,  heard  of  the  peculiar  stories 
afloat,  and  then  declared  that  it  was  their  duty 
to  admonish  Colonel  O'Fallon,  than  whom  no 
more  generous  soul  ever  lived. 

"  Colonel/'  said  Mr.  Lorillard,  "it's  simply 
wonderful  the  way  your  horses  are  winning. 
Tbey  always  look  too  high  in  flesh,  but  they 
win,  just  the  same.  Then  take  your  boys. 
They  are  the  most  good-for-nothing  set  of 
niggers  I  ever  set  my  eyes  upon,  but  how  they 
can  ride!  Why,  they  look  as  if  they  were 
too  fat  to  sit  on  a  horse  properly." 

"  That's  it,"  replied  the  Colonel.  "  I  tell 
John  to  give  those  niggers  all  they  want  to 
eat.     I  believe  in  treating  my  boys  right." 

"That's  what  we  wanted  to  speak  to  you 
about,"  spoke  up  Mr.  Withers.  "  I  know  that 
you  are  not  to  blame,  but  do  you  know  your 
boys  are  fed  nothing  but  beans?" 

'"Beans,"  echoed  the  astonished  turfman. 
Then  recovering  his  composure  he  continued  : 
"Come  with  me,  gentlemen  ;  Imust  investigate 
this  matter  at  once." 

The  distinguished  trio  found  John  at  work 
in  his  stable. 

"John,"  said  the  Colonel,  "  I  am  told  you 
don't  feed  the  boys  anything  but  beans.  Is 
that  right !" 

"I  train  them  on  beans,  sir,"  was  the  quiet 
response. 

"Well,  what  in  the  thunder  have  beans  got 
to  do  with  training,"  demanded  the  now  thor- 
oughly irate  owner. 

"That's  what  the  Macedonians  used  to  do," 
replied  Johu,  never  batting  an  eye. 

"What  have  the  Macedonians  got  to  do  with 
feeding  my  boys?" 

"Colonel,  I  read  in  one  of  my  books,"  and 
here  John  gave  the  title  of  some  ancient  tome 
and  the  number  of  the  page,  "that  the  Mace- 
donians fed  their  soldiers  upon  the  black 
beans  of  Sparta,  and  they  went  forth  and  con- 
quered the  world.  I  thought  that  if  they 
could  do  that  I  could  feed  our  niggers  upon 
the  beans  of  Missouri  and  go  forth  and  win 
all  the  races.  And,  by  God,  Colonel,  I've 
come near  doing  it." 


Ten  jockeys  will  be  engaged  to  do  the  riding 
at  a  moothly  salary,  and  the  Association  will 
offer  extra  inducements  for  winning  mounts. 
The  judges  and  timers  will  be  employed  from 
the  various  towns  that  the  racers  exhibit  in, 
and,  of  course,  the  purses  offered  will  all  be 
saved,  as  they  are  hung  up  by  the  Associotson. 
It  is  estimated  that  the '' show  "  can  be  run 
for  a  few  hundred  dollars  a  day,  and  this  the 
promoter  expects  will  be  met  by  the  gate  re- 
ceipts. Four  book-makers  will  accompany 
the  aggregation,  and  they  will  post  odds  se- 
ductive enough  for  the  bettors  to  "go  against." 
It  will  be  such  an  even  break  and  so  eminently 
fair,  states  Cole,  that  the  bookmakers  will  not 
have  the  faintest  idea  as  to  which  horse  has 
the  best  chance  in  a  race.  Both  Kerr  and 
Ullman  are  very  enthusiastic  over  the  pro- 
posed venture,  and  intend  to  organize  their 
company  in  the  spring. — St.  Louis  Globe- 
Democrat. 


Bookmakers'  Beliefs. 


Cole  "Oilman's  New  Scheme. 


"Projector"  Cole  Ullman  is  out  with  a  new 
scheme.  This  time  he  will  spring  the  results 
of  an  idea  conjured  up  in  his  fertile  mind  upon 
the  sports  of  cities  considerably  smaller  than 
St.  Louis  and  Chicago.  "Cole"  intends  to 
form  a  stock  company,  capitalize  for  $50,000, 
buy  up  a  lot  of  selling  platers  and  give  a 
week's  racing  during  the  summer  in  St.  Jo- 
seph and  Moberly,  Mo.,  Ypsilanti,  Mich.,  and 
other  towns  where  the  runners  have  not  been 
introduced.  Robert  Kerr  is  greatly  interested 
in  the  enterprise,  and  bas  promised  to  take 
$5,000  in  stock.  After  incorporating  under 
the  title  of  the  "  United  States  Racing  Asso- 
ciation," Ullman  and  Kerr  will  buy  100  horses 
paying  $20,000  for  them,  and  then  invest  $10,- 
000  in  racing  paraphernalia.  A  special  train 
will  be  chartered  to  convey  the  racers  and  at- 
tendance from  one  town  to  another;  in  fact 
the  whole  thing  will  be  managed 
similar  to  a  circus.  Five  or  six  races 
will  be  arranged  for  each 

day,  and  the  horses  that  will  be  secured  are 
presumed  to  be  equally  matched,  when,  to- 
gether with  the  aid  of  handicapping,  will 
make  it  difficult  for  bettors  to  pick  the  winner. 


There  is  no  class  of  people  that  follow  the 
turf,  with  but  few  exceptions,  that  are  not  more 
or  less  superstitious,  and  even  the  bookmak- 
ers' clerks  are  more  or  less  imbued  with  it. 
They  do  not  believe  in  touching  the  hump  of 
a  poor  cripple  or  in  the  hoodoo  that  is  exer- 
cised by  meeting  the  glance  of  a  cross-eyed 
man,  but  they  are  firm  believers  in  some  other 
things  that  would  strike  the  average  man  as 
being  just  as  ludicrous. 

Let  a  ticket-writer  pencil  the  name  of  a 
horse  on  a  card  board  and  three  figures  of  the 
same  denomination,  as,  for  instance  "333  "  or 
"  555,"  and  it  is  good  betting  that  if  he  has  a 
cent  in  his  pocket  or  has  not  drawn  his  day's 
salary  in  advance  that  he  will  have  a  modest 
wager  on  the  horse  whose  name  he  wrote  on 
the  card  bearing  those  three  figures,  no  matter 
whether  he  be  a  favorite  or  rank  outsider  in 
the  race,  and  if  asked  for  his  opinion  on  the 
race  he  will  mention  the  name  of  that  same 
animal  and  tell  you  his  reasons. 

The  sheet  writer  has  another  "fad"  that  is 
peculiarly  his  own.  Let  him  look  over  his 
sheet  just  as  the  horses  are  going  to  the  post 
and  discover  that  there  is  one  horse  out  of 
the  lot  that  he  has  not  recorded  a  single  bet 
against,  not  because  the  man  on  the  block  is 
"  holding  him  out,"  but  because  nobody  has 
deemed  him  to  have  a  chance  worth  betting 
on,  he  is  pretty  sure  to  have  a  small  ticket  on 
him,  and  not  unfrequently,  too,  he  cashes  in 
on  his  tip  as  does  the  man  who  plays  the  num- 
bers. 

"  I  was  writing  sheet  at  St.  Louis  one  day 
last  summer  or  spring,  rather,"  said  one  of 
these  clerks  the  other  day,  "  when  I  hap- 
pened, just  as  the  horses  were  going  to  the 
post,  to  notice  that  there  was  not  a  single  bet 
on  my  sheet  against  a  colt  called  Baby  Bill, 
though  every  other  two-year-old  in  the  whole 
field  had  been  backed  in  our  book,  and  some 
of  them  for  right  smart  money,  too. 

"  Leaning  over  I  asked  the  man  on  the 
block  what  he  had  chalked  up  against  the 
colt's  name  and  he  replied  30  to  1,  adding  at 
the  same  time  that  he  reckoned  he  couldn't 
be  of  any  account,  as  there  was  no  money  be- 
ing wagered  on  him  in  the  ring.  I  had  never 
heard  of  the  colt  before,  but  I  somehow  fan- 
cied that  he  had  a  chance  and  just  for  the  rea- 
son that  we  had  taken  no  bet  on  him. 

"Looking  at  the  program  tacked  up  on  the 
inside  of  the  box  in  front  of  me,  I  saw  that 
Baby  Bill  was  a  pretty  well-bred  fellow,  and 
that  be  was  owned  uy  Gene  Leigh.  That 
settled  it  in  my  mind.  Have  a  bet  on  him  I 
must,  and,  taking  a  $5  bill  from  my  pocket,  I 
handed  it  to  the  man  on  the  block,  askiDg  him 
to  give  me  the  best  odds  that  he  could  on  the 
colt,  and  I  soon  had  a  ticket  reading  '  150  to  5, 
Baby  Bill.' 

"  Well,  Baby  Bill  got  away  badly  at  the 
start,  and  at  the  head  of  the  stretch  he  didn't 
look  like  he  had  much  of  a  chance,  so  the 
boys  guyed  me  unmercifully.  Just  opposite 
the  betting  riDg,  however,  the  blue  and  white 
stripes  of  Leigh's  stable  shot  to  the  front,  and 
going  on  he  won  a  cracking  good  race.  It  was 
my  turn  to  laugh  when  I  cashed  in,  and  you 
can  bet  that  I  was  not  slow  in  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  situation.  I've  cashed  in  several 
times  since  then,  playing  that  same  principle, 
and  I'm  not  sure  but  what  that  sort  of  a  tip 
is  just  as  good  to  follow  as  any  of  theo  that 
are  always  to  be  heard  flying  about  the  betting 
ring."  

John  Daly  has  begun  an  action  in  the  Su- 
preme Court  against  Samuel  E.  Haskins  to  re- 
cover $2,705  for  the  training  and  keeping  of 
two  horses,  one  a  brown  mare  named  Rose- 
wood and  another  a  bay  horse.  Haskin  was 
formerly  the  manager  of  the  Haskin  Wood 
Vulcanizing  Company,  which  has  a  place  of 
business  at  155th  Street  and  Eighth  Avenue. 
He  also  had  an  office  at  40  Wall  Street.  Daly 
is  the  proprietor  of  boarding  stables,  and  has 
had  these  two  horses  with  him  since  1891,  for 
training  and  speeding.  He  says  that  Haskin 
is  indebted  to  him  for  $2,705,  and  he  wants  to 
recover  this  money  from  the  proceeds  of  the 
sale  of  the  horses.  Judge  Truax  yesterday 
granted  an  order  for  the  service  of  the  sum- 
mons in  the  action  upon  Haskin  by  publica- 
tion. Haskin  cannot  be  found  here,  and  he  is 
said  to  be  in  Manchester,  England. — Daily

Little  black  Joe  hung  around  his  mammy 
begging  for  a  little  black  burro,  until,  in  an 
impatient  tone,  his  maternal  relative  ex- 
claimed, "Now,  Jo,  you  jes  go  right  out  dar 
an'  set  on  dat  pumpkin  an'  reckin  y'll  hatch 
out  a  little  burro  fo'  long."  Small  Joe  duly 
sat  until  his  patience  was  exhausted.  Then, 
seizing  the  obstinate  pumpkin,  he  threw  it 
down  the  hill.  At  the* foot  it  struck  a  stone 
and  broke  into  a  score  of  pieces.  Startled  by 
this  unexpected  object,  a  jack  rabbit  bounded 
out  from  a  clump  of  neighboring  bushes,  ap- 
parently from  among  the  pieces  of  pumpkin, 
and  scampered  away  over  the  prairie.  "  Hi, 
hi,  dar  !  "  shouted  the  excited  Jo,  "come  back  '. 
don't  yo'  know  dat  I'ze  yo'  mommy?"

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaitiug,  driving,  keeping 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  ol 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
developeto  the  highest  and  fullest  exteDt  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  bands  ot  everv  rubber  on  our  iarni  "

JOCKEY   CLUB  RACE*. 


FIFTH  DAY— FRIDAY,  JANUARY  5. 

i  AGREE  fields  ran  to-day,  and  (he  at- 
tendance was  good  for  such  a 
chilly  afternoon.  It  was  a  chilly 
day  in  more  respects  than  one,  for 
one  lone  favorite  was  all  that  man- 
1  aged  to  struggle  in  a  winner  through 
the  thick,  gummy  mud.  The  track 
dries  out  very  slowly,  for  although 
the  sun  had  been  out  from  early 
.  morn  there  was  no  appreciable^im- 
provement  in  the  condition  of  the 
course.  Surprises  were  numerous. 
Among  the  five  winners  were  two 
8  to  1  shots  and  one  12  to  1  chance.  Four  of  the  events 
were  captured  with  lots  of  daylight  separating  the  successful 
ones  from  their  opponents,  but  in  one  race— the  last— there 
was  a  nose-and-nose  finish. 

Queen  of  Scots  left  the  ranks  of  maidens  in  fine  style  in 
the  opening  race  of  the  hay.  Getting  away  poorly  and  run- 
ning up  from  the  rear  at  they  neared  the  homestretch,  she 
came  away  from  her  field  like  a  good  member  of  the  Levity 
family  should.  Flagstaff  led  up  to  the  final  sixteenth  of  a 
mile,  but  tiring  badly,  Currency  beat  him  out  clearly  for  the 
place  by  ahead  on  the  post. 

Morven  led  almost  from  flag  fall  to  finish  in  the  second 
race,  winning  in  a  big  gallop  by  three  lengths  from  Johnny 
Payne,  the  favorite.     Valparaiso  was  a  very  poor  third. 

Alexis,  favorite,  won  the  third  event  by  a  dozen  lengths  in 
a  big  gallop,  Centella  (clearly  nothing  like  her  old  self)  sec- 
ond, Ed  Stanley  a  miserable  sort  of  third.  The  lime  made, 
1:53,  is  very  doggy,  even  on  snch  a  deep,  muddy  track. 
Alexis  is  likely  to  prove  a  more  than  useful  colt  to  Billy 
Jonathan. 

Duke  Stevens  upset  the  calculations  of  most  students,  and 
did  it  in  an  impressive,  not-to-be-forgotten  fashion.  Getting 
away  absolutely  last  in  a  field  of  seven,  with  the  assistant 
starter  holding  on  to  the  big  chestnut  colt  until  the  others 
were  off  on  their  journey,  Duke  Stevens  was  taken  to  the  in- 
side by  Charles  Weber  with  a  rush,  and  in  less  time  than  it 
takes  to  tell  it  had  run  np  into  third  place.  >"ear  the  half- 
pole  he  was  in  first  place,  and  drawing  away  at  every  jump 
led  into  the  homestretch  by  four  lengths,  and  won  by  two 
with  great  ease.  The  post  favorite,  Tigress,  rushed  into  sec- 
ond place  in  the  last  100  yards,  and  kept  that  position. 

Jennie  Lind,  a  12-to-ler,  well-played  by  a  few  close 
students,  landed  the  last  race  by  a  head  in  a  hard  drive  from 
Jessie,  a  10  to  1  shot,  while  Kelly,  another  10  to  1  chance, 
was  third.  Shamrock,  the  favorite,  ran  prominently  to  the 
homestretch  in  this  race. 

HOW  THE  RACES  "WERE  BUN. 

The  first  race  was  one  of  five  furlongs,  selling.  Flagstaff 
was  a  slight  favorite  over  Eed   Eose  and   Currency,  4  to  1     Time,  1:36. 


chances.  Cnrrency  was  backed  down  from  12  to  1.  Queen  of 
Scots  was  at  8  to  1,  S.lverBow  and  Wild  Oats  ran  away  the 
former  for  nearly  six  furlongs,  the  latter  for  over  a  mile  and 
ff  a  .1 Uter,<,he  race  Wild  Oats'  rider,  Chevalier,  dropped 
OH,  and  the  gelding  ran  about  two  miles  further.  To  a  strV 
gUng  start  they  dashed  away,  Flagstaff,  Eed  Eose  and  Jack 
UiPl  rf?ele,das;  At  the  halfpole  Flagstaff  led 
by  a  length,  Eed  Kose  second,  four  lengths  from  the  Ripper 
fc  °f  ,SS°i5  was  sixth.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch 
blagstaff  led  Eed  Rose  two  lengths,  the  latter  three  from 
Queen  of  Scots.  Flagstaff  tired  in  the  last  part  of  it,  and 
queen  of  Scots  came  out  like  a  shot  and  won  in  a  gallop  by

SIXTH   DAY— SATURDAY,  JANUARY  6 

Favorites  had  little  voice  in  to-day's  racing  proceedings. 
Only  one  slight  one  out  of  five  showed  his  nose  first  past 
the  finishing  point,  in  consequence  of  which  the  form  players 
were  not  boisterously  happy  at  the  conclusionof  theday'sLro- 
ceedings.  A  coating  of  clay  had  been  given  to  a  portion  of  the 
course,  but  the  track  was  still  exceedingly  slow.  It  looks  very 
much  as  if  it  would  take  a  full  week  of  sunny  weather  to  dry 
out  the  course.  The  attendance  was  very  good,  close  to  3,000 
I  should  say,  and  while  none  of  the  finishes  were  close  the 
winning  by  long  shots  furnished  plenty  of  excitement.  Cito's 
odds  in  the  steeplechase  ranged  from  20  to  25  to  1  They 
were  betting  against  the  rider,  not  the  horse.  Cito's  pilot 
was  Mucnacho;'  Galindo,  a  track  character  of  Mexican  de- 
scent who  had  his  whiskers  shaped  in  such  a  manner  that  he 
could  easily  be  mistaken  for  a  beef-eating  Bfi.i-h  cross- 
k°u '/vJi  ej  t-  ';M<"*»<*o"rode  out|on  Joe  Hooker's 
bald-faced  and  white-legged  son,  his  mutton  chops   looking 


most  fetching  he  came  in  for  no  end  of  cheers  and  guffaws 
from  the  stable  boys  and  rubbers,  who  expected  to  see  him 
fall  off  at  the  very  first  obstacle  Cito  was  asked  to  surmount 
He  fooled  his  Inends  most  forcibly,  not  only  sticking  on  but 
actually  riding  as  well  as  any  of  the  experienced  pilots  in  the 
race,  if  not  a  trifle  belter. 

LonnieB.,Sto  1  at  the  close,  won  the  first  race  by  five 
lengths,  after  running  close  to  Zaragoza  and  Conde  to  the 
homestretch.  Motto,  even-money  favorite  in  the  race,  was 
pocketed  in  the  first  eighth  of  a  mile,  then  taken  back  into 
fifth  place.  The  faint-hearted  mare,  who  will  only  extend 
herself  when  in  front,  refused  to  do  an\  thing  in  this  race  and 
was  beaten  away  off  Zaragoza  getting  'the  place  and  Conde 
the  show. 

Harry  Lewis,  backed  for  thousands  by  Barney  Schreiber 
and  his  friends,  won  the  second  race  with  ease  by  four  lengths

hlly,  showed  considerable  speed,  but  did  not  seem  to  know 
exactly  what  was  expected  of  her,  this  being  the  filly's  maiden 
effort. 

The  calculations  of  the  vast  majority  of  those  present  were 
set  at  naught  in  the  second  race,  one  of  a  mile.  Most  of  the 
play  was  on  Pescador,  Duke  Stevens  and  Sir  Reel.  Peril  and 
Pescador  raced  head-and-head  for  over  half  a  mile  where  to 
the  surprise  of  the  plungers,  Pescador  cried  enough  and  Peril 
soon  opened  up  a  gap  of  four  lengths,  bv  which  distance  -he 
won  from  the  outsider,  Marigold,  who  made  a  splendid  run

to  1  in  the  betting,  won  the  short-course  steeplechase  from 
such  good  ones  as  Ballarat  and  First  Lap,  and  did  it  handily 
enough  too.  bishop,  on  Ballarat,  siezed  Cito's  bridle,  when 
he  saw  the  bald-faced  old  gelding  going  by  him  in  the  home- 
stretch, and  Galindo  retaliated  by  giving  the  Beverwyck 
Stable  iockev  a  severe  cut  .vith  bis  whip.  On  his  return  to 
the  weighing  stand  Bishop  was  notified  that  he  had  been  fined 
(250  for  his  action  in  trying  to  prevent  Cito's  winning.  The 
officials  can  now  probably  see  that  they  erred  the  other  day 
iu  not  giving  Cito  the  race  on  fouls  commuted  by  Longwell 
in  the  homestretch.  This  was  as  great  an  error  of  judgment 
as  in  the  Ballarat  case;  where  all  bets  were  declared  oriwhen 
Return  won  and  Ballarat,  his  stable  companion,  jumped  the 
course. 

Addie  Chipman,  well  ridden  by  little  Weber,  won  the  last 
race  hv  a  length  from  the  favorite,  Clara  White,  and  old  gray 
Stoneman  was  only  a  head  behind  Clara  at  the  finish.  The 
Mart  was  a  poor  one,  Monarch's  chances,  with  others,  going 
glimmering  at  the  fall  of  the  flag. 

Felix  Carr  rode  three  winners  and  a  second  to-day,  equalling 
the  records  of  Char  ley  Weber  and  *'Moose"  Taylor.  Galindo 
and  C.  Weber  were  the  other  successful  jockeys  to-day. 

Huff  THE   RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race  was  one  of  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  selling, 
and  Motto  was  considered  to  have  a  cinch  on  winning,  being 
a  favor'te  at  U  to  10  and  even  money.  Conde  was  second 
choice  at  2  to  1.  To  a  good  start  Lonnie  B.  led,  with  Conde 
second  and  Sir  Reginald  third.  Motto  got  into  a  pocket  when 
she  tried  to  run  np  in  the  first  furlong,  and  was  taken  back  at 
once.  Conde  took  up  the  running,  leading  Sir  Reginald  a 
head  passing  the  half,  Zaragoza  a  close-up  third,  Motto 
fourth,  lapped  by  Lonnie  B.  The  latter  ran  up  fast  three 
furlongs  from  home,  and  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  was 
first  by  a  small  margin,  with  Zaragoza  second.  They  ran 
bunched  until  well  straightened  out,  when  Lonnie  B.  came 
away  at  a  great  clip  and  won  by  five  lengths,  Zaragoza  in  the 
place,  a  length  from  Conde,  Sir  Reginald  fourth,  and  the 
faint-hearted  Motto  fifth.     Time,  1:12:}.

The  second  race  was  for  three-year-olds,  five  and  a  half 
furlongs.  First  Laughing  Eyes  was  favorite,  then.  Barney 
Schreiber's  commissioners  went  down  the  line,  and  Harry 
Lewis  was  soon  a  decided  first  choice.  Bordeaux  wa3  well- 
played  at  2J  and  3  to  1.  Laughing  Eyes,  to  whom  racing  was 
a  jokejust  begun,  delayed  the  start  several  minutes  by  refus- 
ing to  come  up  with  the  rest.  Finally  she  was  sent  off  in 
front,  Bordeaux  second  and  Harry  Lewis  third.  Carr  sat 
down  and  went  to  riding  Lewis  from  the  first  jump,  and  at 
the  half  had  the  favorite  in  the  lead  by  two  lengths,  Laugh- 
iug  Eyes  being  second,  a  length  from  Chartreuse.  Bordeaux 
soon  ran  up  into  third  place,  but  Harry  Lewis  kept  increas- 
ing his  lead,  and  won  by  four  lengths  easily.  Laughing  Eyes 
quit  about  a  sixteenth  from  home,  then  under  whip  came 
again  and  got  the  place  by  a  length  from  Chartreuse,  who 
was  a  head  only  from  Bordeaux,  Esperance  fifth,  another

The  third  race  was  a  mile,  handicap,  purse  $600.  Duke 
Stevens  was  a  slight  favorite  over  Pescador.  Sir  Reel  was  at 
3£  to  1,  Peril  at  4.  To  a  fair  start  Peril  led,  and  with  Pes- 
cador only  a  head  away  ran  at  a  fast  clip  past  the  quarter 
and  half-poles.  Every  moment  Peril  was  expected  to  give 
way  to  the  one-eyed  horse,  but  the  shoe  was  on  the  other  foot. 
Pescador  had  enough  three  furlongs  from  the  finish,  and 
Peril  led  by  four  lengths  into  the  homestretch,  with  Pescador 
a  tiring  second.  Peril,  brown  daughter  of  JDarebin  and  Iris,

time,  track  considered,  of  1*46 J.  Marigold,  third  into  the

First  Lap  was  at  4  to  1  most  of  the  time,  EH  Dorado  4A  and 
6  i"  1,  Mariner  <>  to  1  and  CitO  from  20  to  26  to  L  First

down  from  10  to  1.  Monarch,  Toots,  Viceroy  and  George  L. 
were  ^ail  plunged  on.  Raphael,  Clara  White,  Addie  Chip- 
man  was  the  order  to  a  straggling  start.  About  three  fur- 
longs from  home  Addie  Chipman  took  command,  leading  by 
about  a  length  into  the  homestretch,  three  lengths  an  eighth

SEVENTH    DAY — TUESDAY,  JANUARY  9. 

With  a  wonderfully  improved  track  and  beautiful  weather, 
that  the  racing  was  good  and  the  attendance  excellent  this 
afternoon  is  not  to  be  wondered  at.  The  Australians  have 
license  to  crow  over  this  day's  work,  too.  Four  of  the  five 
winners  were  sired  by  Australian-bred  horses — two  by 
Cheviot,  one  by  Darebin,  another  by  Trade  Wind.  This  is 
a  record  to  be  proud  of,  surely.  It  was  a  fair  day  for  favor- 
ites, three  of  them  winning  in  fine  style.  The  successful 
jockeys  were  Piggott,  W.  Clancy  and  Irving.  The  latter 
piloted  three  winners  to  the  front — Bridal  Veil,  Gascon  and 
Blizzard. 

A'  Wright,  a  stable  boy  of  very  small  experience,  was  put 
up  on  that  good  performer,  Jim  ft.,  with  the  result  that  the 
Conner  gelding  ran  absolutely  last.  The  officials  thought  it 
was  all  wrong  to  give  Wright  the  mount  on  a  horse  sure  to 
be  played  well,  and  concluded  to  set  the  youngster  down 
indefinitely  on  the  score  of  incompetency. 

Bridal  Veil  ran  close  up  to  Joe  Cotton  to  the  homestretch 
in  the  first  race,  five  furlongs,  then  came  away  in  clever  style 
at  the  end,  winning  handily  by  half  a  length.  Three  lengths 
away  came  Jennie  Lind,  a  20  to  1  shot  that  had  run  promi- 
nently all  the  way. 

Flurry,  one  of  the  last  to  get  away,  ran  around  her  field 
like  a  rare  good  race  horse,  winning  handily  with  lengths  to 
spare  from  Renius,  who  got  away  well  and  ran  in  front  part 
of  the  journey.  Flurry  was  ridden  by  a  new  rider  named 
Piggott,  who  took  no  chances  with  the  filly  in  the  home- 
stretch. While  it  is  well  enough  to  save  an  animal,  it  is 
better  to  ride  as  Piggott  did  than  to  have  the  race  stolen 
from  one  right  under  the  wire. 

Gascon  won  the  third  race,  which  was  a  very  pretty  one, 
in  his  old-time  game  style,  Komair  running  a  surprisingly 
good  race  and  finishing  a  short  neck  behind  the  good  -Etna 
Stable  horse.  Middleton  was  a  fair  third.  Tigress  seemed 
to  go  all  to  pieces  about  three  furlongs  from  home. 

The  fourth  race  went  to  Dan  MeCarty's  brown  colt,  Bliz- 
zard, who  was  absolutely  last  away  in  the  field  of  seven,  and 
ran  a  grand  race.  Sir  Peter  was  catching  the  winner  at  every 
jump  it  the  end,  and  had  Morris  started  on  this  fellow  a  lit- 
tle earlier  victory  would  surely  have  perched  on  the  banner 
of  Dow  Williams. 

Centurion  won  the  last  race  with  great  ease.  Alexis  ran 
up  fast  from  the  rear  in  the  straight,  and  was  as  easy  a  sec- 
ond, with  Carmel  third.  Morven  ran  away  about  half  a  mile, 
breaking  his  bridle,  imperiling  "Moose"  Taylor's  life,  aud 
losing  all  chances  the  colt  had  of  winning. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE   RUN. 

The  first  race,  five  furlongs,  selling,  had  nine  starters. 
Bridal  Veil,  at  3  to  1,  was  a  slight  favorite  over  Joe  Cotton. 
Jim  R.  was  at  5  to  1.  Nellie  Van,  Jennie  Lind,  Bridal  Veil, 
Joe  Cotton  was  the  order  at  the  start.  At  the  half-pole  Nel- 
lie Van  led  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Jennie  Lind  second, 
as  far  from  Joe  Cotton,  who  was  one  and  one-half  lengths 
from  Joe  Ellis.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch  Joe  Cotton 
had  passed  Nellie  Van  aud  Jennie  Lind,  and  was  first  by  a 
length.  Bridal  Veil  second,  half  »  length  from  Jennie  Lind. 
The  trio  alone  was  in  the]  hunt,  and  Bridal  Veil,  a  head  in 
front  in  the  last  furlong,  came  ou  and  won  by  half  a  length 
quite  handily.  Joe  Cotton  second,  three  lengths  from  Jennie 
Lind  three,  who  was   four   from    Floodmore.     Time,  1:03.

The  third  race,  about  six  furlongs,  selling,  brought  out  six 
good  horses.  Gascon  was  favorite  at  the  post  at  7  to  5, 
Tigress  second  choice  at  3  to  1,  having  receded  from  2  to  1, 
Romair  was  at  15  to  1  at  the  close.  To  a  fair  start  The  Kitten, 
Tigress,  Middleton  was  the  order.  At  the  half-pole  Romair 
led  by  half  a  length,  The  Kitten  second,  two  lengths  from 
Middleton.  The  favorite  was  last.  Gascon  was  now  sent 
for  the  money,  and  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  was  sec- 
ond, three  lengths  behind  Romair.  The  latter  kept  his  lead 
until  nearly  nn  eigbth  from  home,  when  Gascon  began  over- 
hauling him  at  a  great  rate.  In  a  pretty  finish  Gascon  won

Lonnie  B.  was  a  warm  favorite  in  the  fourth  race,  six  and 
one-half  furlongs,  her  odds  ranging  from  6  to  8  to  5.  Sir 
Peter,  at  4  to  1,  was  next  in  demand.  To  a  fair  start,  in  which 
Blizzard  was  off  last  and  Annie  Moore  first,  they  went  away. 
At  the  quarter  and  half-poles  Conde  led  Annie  Moore  a  head. 
Sir  Peter  was  third  at  the  half-pole,  Blizzard  fifth.  At  the

about  six  furlongs.  Centurion  was  favorite  at  2  to  1,  Alexis 
next  in  favor  at  4  to  1.  Morven  ran  away  at  top  speed  for 
abont  half  a  mile,  broke  his  bridle  and,  slowed  up  in  the 
homestretch,  ran  up  to  the  first  turn,  where  he  was  stopped, 
and  "Moose"  Taylor  jumped  off.  The  colt  turned  around  and 
was  caught  in  front  of  the  new  ciub  house.  His  bridle  was 
fixed  up,  and  he  went  to  the  post.  A  fair  start  was  at  length 
made,  and  the  order  was  Harry  Lewis,  CentUi-ion,  Alexis. 
Morven  was  sixth  away.  Centurion  passed  Harry  Lewis  after 
they  had  run  a  little  over  a  quarter,  aud  was  not  thereafter

Buddhist,  St.  Patrick  and  Other  Horses  Burned. 

Paterson,  N.  J.,  Dec.  30. — A  disastrous  fire,  which  al- 
most completely  obliterated  the  stable  of  thoroughbred  race- 
horses owned  by  the  well-known  turfman,  V.  Hollar,  broke 
out  at  the  Dundee  racecourse  near  here  at  4:30  a.  m.  Mr. 
Hollar's  stable  was  burned  to  the  ground  before  the  conflag- 
ration could  be  checked  in  the  slightest  degree,  with  great 
loss  of  life  to  the  horses  in  the  stable. 

When  the  fire  broke  out  there  were  sixteen  horses  in  the 
building,  and  of  these  only  four  escaped,  viz.:  Lucky  Clover, 
Mirage,  a  yearling  filly  and  the  two-year-old  gelding  Hands 
Up.  Those  burned  were  the  well-known  race-horse,  Budd- 
hist, a.  by  Hindoo — Emma  Hanley  ;  St.  Patrick,  ch  g,  5,  by 
St.  Blaise — imp,  Patience  ;  Laura  S.,  5,  by  Attilla — Fannie 
Hill  ;  Vocalist,  4,  by  Vocalic — Listelle  ;  imp.  Graham,  4,  bv 
Sterling — Shy  Duchess;  Monopolist,  4,  by  Rayon  d'Or — Mo- 
nopoly ;  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Tremont — Helen,  by  Vaux- 
Itall ;  a  two-year-old  filly  by  imp.  Freedom  ;  Vandal,  6,  by 
Virgil — Fannie  Brown;  imp.  Monteith,  3,  by  Penton — Bes- 
sie Dora;  Glen  Island,  2,  and  a  trotting  horse.  The  horses 
were  not  all  the  property  of  Mr.  Hollar,  and  belonged  to 
various  owners. 

In  addition  to  the  horses  a  lot  of  property  was  destroyed, 
including  all  the  stable  traps and.wagons and  a  great  amount 
of  winter  feed,  including  hay,  oats,  etc. 

The  fire  was  first  discovered  by  Andrew  Castle,  the  fore- 
man in  charge  of  the  stable.  It  had,  however,  gained  so  much 
headway  before  it  was  found  out  that  it  was  not  only  impossi- 
ble to  stop  it,  but  too  late  to  get  most  of  the  horses  out  before 
the  flames  reached  them. 

The  origin  ofthe  lire  is  enshrouded  in  mystery.  Noone 
slept  iu  the  stable,  which  complicates  the  matter  more  than 
ever.  A  strong  suspicion  seems  to  be  entertained  that  it  was 
of  incendiary  origin,  though  there  seems  to  be  no  ostensible 
motive.  Still  the  only  other  explanation  available  is  that 
one  of  the  stable  hands  dropped  a  match  in  the  straw  and  a 
horse  treading  on  it  set  tire  to  bis  bedding.  It  is  likely  that 
a  very  strict  investigation  of  the  circumstances  will  be  made. 


W.  A.  Skinner,  Spots^ood,  K.  J.,  writes :  1  have  used  "  Ab- 
sorbine"  and  am  pleased  with  the  results.

SANTA     CLARA    COUNTY    FAIR. 


Looking  Forward  to  a  Handsome  New  Pavilion- 


The  action  of  the  life  members  of  the  Santa  Clara  Valley 
Agricultural  Society  at  the  annual  meeting  last  Thursday,  in 
providing  a  possible  way  for  accomplishing  the  erection  of  a 
handsome  pavilion  on  th.3  society's  grounds,  for  the  proper 
display  of  the  agricultural  and  horticultural  resources  of  the 
county,  has  been  everywhere  enthusiastically  applauded,  and 
there  will  probably  be  little  difficulty  in  securing  the  150  de- 
sirable new  members  that  are  required  for  the  full  success  of 
the  undertaking.  With  a  commodious  and  handsome  horti- 
cultural pavilion,  there  will  not  be  the  slightest  difficulty  in 
getting  together  a  display  of  froits,  vegetables  and  flowers  that 
can  be  duplicated  nowhere  else  on  the  footstool.  Agricultural 
implements,  domestic  manufactures  and  the  handiwork  of  the 
farmers'  wife  and  daughters  will  also  hava  their  appropriate 
place,  and  we  will  have  a  genuine  county  fair  that  will  draw 
10,000  visitors,  where  the  horse  show  alone,  grand  as  it  might 
be,  would  attract  3,000. 

The  Pavilion  must  be  built  in  time  for  the  coming  Fair, 
and  the  members  will  lose  no  time  in  selecting  from  their 
friends  and  acquaintances  the  150  persons  who  are  to  receive 
life  memberships  at  the  nominal  figure  of  $100  each,  when 
the  old  rate  of  $250  will  again  go  into  effect.  The  actual 
property  of  the  society,  if  sold  and  divided  among  the  mem- 
bers, would  amount  to  very  much  more  than  §100  each,  so 
that  the  investment  is  a  good  one  from  a  business  point  of 
view,  so  there  is  no  probability  that  the  opportunity  to  get  in 
at  ground  floor  rates  will  be  slighted. 

The  San  Jose  Mercury  has  already  signified  its  purpose  to 
systematically  and  regularly  do  all  in  its  power  to  promote 
the  interests  of  the  Society,  the  County  Fair  and  the  great 
live  stock  industry  of  the  county.  It  is,  of  course,  not  possi- 
ble to  speak  in  a  single  article,  even  briefly,  of  all  the  promi- 
nent farms,  stables  or  breeders,  but  all  will  be  reached  and  in- 
telligently treated  in  due  course  of  time. 

This  is  the  slack  season  at  Agricultural  Park,  but  with  the 
opening  of  spring  hundreds  of  stalls  will  be  occupied  where 
now  there  are  not  more  than  sixty  or  seventy. 

J.  W.  Gorden,  the  oldest  trainer  and  driver  at  the  park, 
has  charge  of  R.  D.  Fox's  horses.  Mr.  Fox,  it  is  perhaps  not 
necessary  to  state,  is  the  widely  known  nurseryman  and  the 
genial  gentleman  just  elected  to  the  Directorate.  At  the 
head  of  his  stud  is  Chancellor,  2:22,  sired  by  Bismark,  2:29A, 
sire  of  Hazel  H.,  with  a  winning  fifth  heat  in  2:12L  He  das 
also  Mount  Hope,  by  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18,  a  filly  by  Rupee, 
2:11,  out  of  a  full  sister  to  Chancel lor,and  others  equally  well 
bred. 

Thad  Hobson,  also  a  well-known  and  popular  Director, 
owner  of  the  famous  mare  Hazel  H.,  has  also  a  full  brother  to 
Hazel,  which  has  pulled  its  owner  (who  is  no  light-weight)  a 
quarter  in  0:35  to  a  Frazier  cart.  Beside  these,  Mr.  Hobson 
has  several  promising  colts  by  Almont  Palchen,  2:15,  out  of 
highly  bred  mares.  His  horses  are  under  the  charge  of  the 
noted  driver  and  trainer,  Billy  Donathan,  but  in  his  absence 
Mr.  Hobson  is.  driving  them  upon  the  road,  v^-ept  the 
Patchen  colts,  which  are  being  handled  by  C.  H.  Corey. 

C.  A.  Stockton,  owner  of  the  great  campaigner,  Boodle, 
2:1 9},  has  a  number  of  fine  colts  by  this  horse  in  training  at 
the  park,  under  the  management  of  Johnny  Woods,  his 
trainer,  who  so  successfully  conditioned  Boodle  for  all  his 
great  races.  Among  the  most  noted  is  Ethel  Downes,  by 
Boodle,  2:191  ;  her  dam  is  by  Nutwood,  2:18|j  the  greatest 
living  sire.  It  is  impossible  for  her  to  be  a  failure.  She 
showed  herself  wonderfully  fast  last  year  for  the  little  train- 
ing she  had,  trotting  a  full  mile  in  2:31.  He  has  also  a 
promising  yearling  by  Boodle,  2:19J  ;  dam  full  sister  by  Big 
Lize,  2:24,  the  dam  of  Alviso,  2:26.  Look  out  for  this  young- 
ster in  the  yearling  race.  There  are  other  good  colts  in  the 
stable  which  must  wait  their  turn. 

C.  H.  Corey,  owner  of  Alraont  Patchen,  2:1-5,  has  given  this 
noted  animal  a  two  years'  rest,  and  announces  that  the  swift 
side-wheeler  is  rapidly  regaining  his  old-time  form  as  will  be 
shown  later  on.  He  intends  to  give  his  colts,  of  which  there 
are  a  number  in  his  stable,  a  chance. 

Charlie  Home  has  the  noted  horse  Menlo,  owned  by  Wil- 
liam Dwyer,  Joseph  Shanahan's  Menlo  colt  that  won  the 
yearling  race  last  fall  and  several  others  that  may  be  heard 
from  later. 

Dr.  Williams,  brother  to  Pete  Williams,  the  great  race 
horse  man,  arrived  here  some  time  ago  with  his  fine  stallion, 
Goldnut,  by  Nutwood,  2:18J,  and  a  number  of  his  colts,  some 
of  which  he  has  disposed  of  at  fair  prices. 

Orville  Appleby  has  several  good  thoroughbreds  at  the 
park,  hut  his  main  string  is  in  San  Francisco  racing. 

W.  E.  Goldsworthy  Las  the  noted  horse  Chris  Smith,  2:14k, 
owned  by  Frank  Davis,  the  contractor;  Colonel  Benton, 
another  speedy  one,  a  thoroughbred,  and  several  colts. 

The  Elmwood  string  is  the  largest  stable  of  thoroughbreds 
at  the  park.  They  are  now  being  put  in  form  for  the  Eastern 
circuit,  upon  which  they  will  start  in  the  early  spring.  Mr. 
Boots'  success  in  the  Eastern  races  last  year  has  encouraged 
him  to  add  some  good  ones  to  his  list.  These  stables  are  un- 
der the  management. of  George  Bayliss,  who  as  a  conditioner 
and  handler  has  few  superiors,  and  with  the  assistance  of  so 
good  a  selector  of  winners  as  Charlie  Boots,  nothing  less  than 
success  can  be  predicted. 

The  largest  trotting  stable  at  the  Park  is  the  Vendome, 
owned  by  James  W.  Rea  and  under  the  management  of 
C.  F.  Bunch.  The  most  noted  of  its  horses  is  Iran  Alto,  by 
Palo  Alto,  2:0S|,  dam  Elaine,  2:20;  she  by  Messenger  Duroc, 
out  of  Green  Mountain  Maid,  the  dam  of  Electioneer,  the 
greatest  horse  that  ever  lived,  with  146  in  the  2:30  list.  Iran 
Alto  is  a  full  brother  to  Palatine,  2:23]  in  her  two-year-old 
form,  who  trotted  all  through  the  circuit  last  fall,  winning 
every  race  she  started  in,  losing  but  one  heat,  and  bringing 
home  a  moderate  fortune  for  her  owner.  Iran  Alto  is  being 
prepared  for  a  large  number  of  Eastern  engagements,  for 
which  he  will  start  in  the  early  spring. 

The  noted  trotter,  Hillsdale,  2:2N,  by  Antinous,  2:281.  dam 
Nettie  Nutwood,  by  Nutwood,  2:18$,  last  season  proved  him- 
self to  be  a  great  campaigner,  starting  in  nine  races,  winning 
six,  making  only  four  breaks  in  a  total  of  thirty-six  heats, 
and  winning$3,480.  This  is  a  creditable  showing  for  any 
three-year-old  colt  in  Cafifornia.  Mr.  Bunch,  who  drove 
him  in  all  his  races,  says  that  Hillsdale  will   be  one  of  the 


trotting  stars  of  1894.  He  is  the  property  of  Ed.  Senter.  Mr. 
Senteris  also  the  owDer  of  Helen  Dawn,  one-year-old,  by 
Dawn,  2:18|,  dam  Pink,  2:231,  the  old  game  campaigner  who 
received  her  present  record  in  the  ninth  heat  of  a  race.  This 
colt  should  be  a  trotter. 

Alviso,  2:26,  by  Brown  Jug,  dam  Big  Lize,  2:24,  holds  the 
four-year-old  district  record,  getting  the  same  in  the  third 
heat  of  a  race  at  the  last  fair  on  the  Santa  Clara  Valley  So- 
ciety's track,  and  is  expected  to  beat  2:20  the  coming  season. 
He  is  owned  by  A.  C.  Judd,  the  well-known  furniture 
dealer. 

W.  Moir,  a  capitalist  who  has  located  in  the  Garden  City 
within  the  last  few  years,  but  who  has  already  become  widely 
and  favorably  known  as  a  companionable  gentleman,  and  en- 
terprising man  of  affairs,  is  the  owner  of  Medlark  (stable 
name),  by  Bismark,  2:291,  sire  of  Hazel  H.,  2:124  ;  dam  Big 
Lize,  2:24,  the  dam  of  Alviso,  2:26.  Mr.  Bunch  says  this  fel- 
low will  make  a  trotter. 

Zulu  Chief,  b  s,  fouryears  old,  by  Wilmington,  he  by  Fal- 
lis,  2:23,  is  the  property  of  Mr.  McAllister,  another  genial 
gentleman  of  abundant  means.  He  is  a  horse  that  attracts 
more  attention  from  horsemen  than  any  other  at  the  Park. 
He  can  trot  a  2:30  gait,  or  a  quarter  in  0:37,  without  a  boot  of 
any  kind.     A  low  record  is  expected  for  him  this  year. 

Rea  Tinous,  three  years  old,  by  Antinous,  2:281,  dam 
Mat  tie  Evans,  by  Almoon,  belongs  to  Dr.  N.  R.  Carson,  the 
well-known  druggist.  Rea  Tinous,  as  a  two-year-old,  with 
very  little  preliminary  work,  trotted  in  2:45.  A  record  of 
better  is  expected  for  him  this  fall. 

Linda  Oak,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15],  dam  Yadrell,  by  Nut- 
wood, 2:1SJ,  needs  no  comment. 

Charles  M.  Chase  is  a  two-year-old  by  Antinous,  2:281, 
dam  Bonnie  Piedmont,  by  Piedmont,  2:17}.  Bonnie  Pied- 
mont is  a  half-sister  to  Bonnie  Belle,  2:22.  who  won  the  Oak- 
land $4000  Futurity  stake,  and  also  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsmax  Futurity  stake  worth  $4,S15.  Chase  is  engaged 
in  a  number  of  important  stakes  for  1894,  and  a  good  report 
is  expected  of  him. 

Lucky  Dollar,  by  Leo  Wilkes,  2:291,  full  brother  to  Sable 
Wilkes,  2:18,  dam  Yadrell,  but  Nutwood,  2:18^,  is  coming 
two  years  old.  If  breeding  counts  for  anything  she  will  make 
a  great  trotter. 

Minnie  B.,  2:29J,  by  Thurnhill,  2:241,  dam  Laura  R., 
2:21},  by  Electioneer,  is  the  property  of  E.  Topham,  a  Direc- 
tor of  the  San  Mateo  and  Santa  Clara  District  Association 
and  one  of  the  leading  c'tizens  of  this  country.  She  will  be 
campaigned  this  year,  trotting  in  the  2:30  class.  Besides 
these  trotters  Mr.  Bunch  has  in  his  string  two  thoroughbreds 
of  the  highest  type:  Flirtation,  by  Peel,  mile  and  a  quarter 
record  of  2:08,  dam  Faustina,  out  of  imp.  Flirt,  dam  of  Flam- 
beau, Flirtation,  Gergo,  Fidelia,  all  cracker-jacks  ;  Evange- 
line, by  Duke  of  Norfolk,  sire  of  Duke  Stevens  and  a  host  of 
other  good  ones,  dam  Junietta,  by  Wild  Idle.  Junietta  is  a 
full  sister  to  Alfaretta,  who  has  to  her  credit  a  mile  and  a 
quarter  in  2:0S.  FHrtella  is  entered  in  six  large  stakes  to  be 
run  in  her  two  and  three-year-old  form.  The  horses  in  this 
stable  not  otherwise  specified  are  all  owned  by  Mr.  Rea. 

George  B.  Polhemus,  one  of  the  younger  members  of  the 
Board  of  Directors,  has  been  an  enthusiast  in  the  matter  of 
blooded  stock  of  high  grade  ever  since  he  can  remember. 
For  years  his  herds  of  Holsteins,  Durham  and  Jersey  cattle 
were  known  as  prize  winners  at  the  State  and  county  fairs. 
About  two  years  ago  he  disposed  of  his  herds  to  Frank  H. 
Burke  of  La  Siesta  Stock  Farm  at  Menlo  Park,  and  seemingly 
retired  for  a  time  from  active  business.  R^cfntly,  however, 
he  has  been  giving  considerable  attention  to  "the  fleet-footed 
trotter,  and  his  success  will  probably  be  as  great  as  it  was  in 
other  lines.  His  farm  is  twelve  miles  from  San  Jose  on  the 
Monterey  road,  on  the  banks  of  the  Coyote  creek  and  half  a 
mile  from  the  station  of  that  name.  It  comprises  500  acres, 
upland  and  lowland,  with  much  upon  which  alfalfa  thrives 
luxuriantly.  It  is  a  grand  place,  upon  a  sightly  location  on 
which  he  has  erected  a  mansion.  In  a  thirty-acre  field  lying 
between  his  dwelling  and  the  Monterey  road  he  has  laid  out, 
upon  scientific  principles,  a  three-quarter-mile  track,  the 
grading  of  turns  being  in  accordance  with  the  latest  ideas  for 
fast  work.  The  soil  is  undoubtedly  of  the  best  quality  for  a 
track,  possessing  sufficient  loam  to  adapt  it  to  the  fast  work 
of  horses,  and  the  eighth  and  quarter  poles  are  so  placed  that 
you  can  catch  a  horse  at  any  high  rate  of  speed.  In  the  con- 
struction of  the  track  it  was  found  necessary  to  uproot  maoy 
large  white  oak  trees.  Henry  H.  Hellman,  well-known 
among  horsemen  as  a  great  driver  and  conditioner,  is  manager 
and  trainer  of  all  the  horses  on  this  place,  which  number 
about  twenty  very  fine  animals.  Mr.  Hellman  has  not  been 
upon  the  circuit  with  a  string  of  horses  for  two  years.  His 
last  engagement  was  from  Fresno,  which  he  left  with  a  string 
of  green  horses,  without  records,  and  he  took  them  home  with 
five  new  records,  the  fastest  being  2:17  and  the  slowest  2:241. 
He  is  a  quiet  gentleman,  who  attends  strictly  to  business  and 
who  will  bear  acquaintance,  and  under  whose  direction  suc- 
cess is  assured.  Only  two  or  three  of  the  horses  on  this  farm 
can  be  referred  to  in  this  article.  Among  them  are :  Ella  H., 
a  bay  mare  by  Anteeo,  2:16],  dum  Nutwood  mare,  dam  of 
Myrtle,  with  a  three-year-old  record  of  2:191.  Ella  H.  last 
year  trotted  miles  in  2:20,  but  she  has  no  record,  and  will  be 
started  in  the  green  classes;  a  brown  pacer  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15],  that  has  already  gone  quarters  in  0:35;  Rockwood,  a 
bay  horse,  2:29,  that  Air.  Hellman  has  worked  a  half  in  1:11. 
He  has  also  several  of  the  get  of  Strathway,  2:19,  dam  Coun- 
tess, the  dam  of  Dawn,  2:lSj\  From  this  class  of  horses  Mr. 
Hellman  will  undoubtedly  secure  a  few  prizes. 

Agnew  Stock  Farm  is  five  miles  from  Sao  Jose,  on  the 
Monterey  road,  near  the  railroad  station  of  Hillsdale.  It 
comprises  500  acres  of  the  best  soil  in  Santa  Clara  county. 
Harry  J.  Agnew,  the  proprietor,  Is  a  gentleman  of  wealth 
and  culture,  who  came  to  this  State  from  Honolulu  about 
three  years  ago.  Forseveral  months  he  traveled  through  the 
different  counties  of  California  seeking  a  location  which 
would  meet  his  views  for  an  ideal  breeding  farm  for  trotters, 
and  this  he  found  at  the  site  above  designated.  In  stocking 
aud  equipping  the  farm  he  has  expended  money  without 
stint,  and  in  its  present  state  its  beauty  must  he  seen  to  be 
realized.  Its  paddocks  and  groandsare  laid  out  in  a  manner 
only  possible  where  capital  and  brains  are  happily  joined. 
In  the  equipment  is  included  a  fine  mile  track  that  would  be 
a  credit  to  any  agricultural  society  in  the  State.  He  has  now 
been  established  upon  this  farm  for  three  years  and  his  first 
series  of  trotting  colts  are  ready  for  developing,  and  for  that 
purpose  be  has  secured  the  services  of  the  well-known  young 
trainer,  Lew  Simmons,  who  so  successfully  handled  the  Nut- 
wood Stock  Farm,  to  the  horses  of  which  he  gave  a  number 
of  great  records,  such  as  these:  Nutwood  Wilkes  (tbree- 
year-old),  2:201  ;  Lila  W.,  2:18;  Maud  C,  2:19,  and  three  or 
four  others  better  than  2:25.     Mr.  Simmons  is  a  hard-work- 


ing, trustworthy  young  man,  and  Mr.  Agnew  has  used  good 
judgment  in  securing  his  services,  and  a  string  of  great  trot- 
ters may  be  expected  from  Agnew  Farm  before  Chrismas 
comes  again. 

Mr.  Agnew  worthily  inaugurated  his  fine  farm  by  placing 
at  the  head  of  his  stud  the  great  trotting  stallion  Dawn,  2:1£ 
purchasing  him  at  the  low  price  of  $15,000.  The  fact  that 
he  has  owned  him  but  three  years  explains  Mr.  Agnew's  ab- 
sence from  the  circuit  heretofore.  Dawn  ought  to  prove  a 
great  sire,  as  he  has  been  mated  with  a  number  of  great  mares. 
Dawn  is  known  among  horsemen  as  "the  Dandy  of  the  Turf," 
and  managed  by  the  "  genial  Harry  Agnew,"  as  the  owner  is 
known  among  his  intimates,  brilliant  success  may  be  confid- 
ently looked  for.  Mr.  Agnew  has  expended  upwards  of  $100,- 
000  in  stock  and  improvements,  and  he  allows  no  money  to 
stand  between  himself  and  his  idea  of  a  trotting  horse  or  the 

j  safety  and  becomingness  of  its  surroundings.  He  prides  him- 
sel   upon  his  fences,  and  justly,  for  no  California  farm  can 

|  show  better,  and  his  especial  pride  in  this  line  is  a  portable 
or  moveable  fence,  designed  for  him  by  C.  F.  Bunch  while 
the  latter  was  superintendent  of  the  Agnew  farm.  It  has  the 
zig-zag  form  of  the  old-fashioned  rail  fence ;  so  locks  together 
that  no  posts  are  required  to  make  it  secure,  and  can  be  set  in 
any  desired  shape  with  very  little  trouble.  Much  of  the  soil 
on  this  farm  is  as  good  orchard  iand  as  there  is  in  the  valley, 
a  fact  which  is  attested  by  numerous  fioe  prune  orchards  in 

1  the  vicinity,  whose  thrifty  growth  and  abundant  crops  have 
been  the  admiration  of  all  beholders.  Mr.  Agnew  himself  is 
preparing  to  set  out  a  forty-acre  prune  orchard,  and  will  ex- 
tend his  stock  farm  further  into  theuplands,  where  the  soil  is 
equally  good  for  grazing,  but  less  valuable  for  fruit.  Upon 
this  farm  there  is  about  ninety  head  of  royally  bred  stock, 
out  of  which  any  one  ought  to  be  able  to  pick  winoers. 

Frank  H.  Burke,  of  La  Siesta  Stock  Farm  at  Menlo  Park, 
has  written  to  Secretary  Berson  to  engage  twenty-five  stalls 

i  for  his  herds  of  Holstein  and  Polled  Angus  cattle  ;  also  ten 
stalls  for  show  horses,  exclusive  of  those  entered  in  races,  and 
room  for  six  thoroughbred  pigs.

Death    of  Lewis    R.    Jtfartin 

Lewis  R.  Martin,  one  of  the  best-known  horsemen  on  the 
Pacific  Coast,  passed  away  yesterday  morning  at  St.  Luke's 
Hospital  after  years  of  suffering  and  affliction.  For  ten  years 
Mr.  Martin  has  been  blind  and  for  the  past  six  months  help- 
less from  paralysis.  Since  1S72  the  great  horseman  has  been 
in  the  employ  of  E.  J.  Baldwin,  and  it  was  Mr.  Martin  that 
brought  to  this  country  such  celebrities  as  Joe  Daniels,  Hub- 
bard, Rutherford  and  Grinstead.  He  founded  the  Santa 
Anita  Stud,  which  is  celebrated  throughout  America  as  the 
home  of  great  thoroughbreds.  Sent  to  Kentucky,  Mr.  Mar- 
tin bought  a  number  of  Glenelg  fillies  at  a  time  when  that 
blood  was  scoffed  at.  The  great  work  of  Clara  D.,  Jennie  B  , 
Sister  Anne  and  Glenita  showed  what  foresight  he  had.  They 
were  not  only  high-ciass  racers,  but  wonderful  producers  ot 
racehorses  as  well.  As  a  judge  of  conformation  and  blood 
lines  it  is  doubtful  if  there  was  a  superior  in  this  country 
to  Lewis  R.  Martin.  For  years  he  went  East  with  the  Bald- 
win horses,  managing  the  extensive  racing  stable  with  marked 
ability  and  doing  as  much  to  draw  attention  to  California's 
superiority  as  a  breeding  ground  as  aoy  one  man.  Some 
years  ago  Mr.  Martin  took  to  Australia  several  finely-bred 
sheep,  and  traded  them  for  Hereford  cattle  for  a  capitalist 
here  named  Duuphy.  About  ten  years  ago  Baldwin's  old 
friend  became  blind,  but  he  was  ever  hopeful  that  his 
eye-sight  would  be  restored.  E.  J.  Baldwin  stood  by 
Mr.  Martin,  who  for  years  lived  at  the  Baldwin  Hotel,  and 
every  day  in  a  little  room  on  the  Ellis  street  side  of 
the  bostelrie,  wculd  be  surrounded  by  a  select  coterie,  who 
would  "talk  horse'*  from  nearly  every  point  of  view.  Mr. 
Martin's  memory  was  remarkable,  and  bis  judgment  about 
pedigrees  and  mating  horses  was  considered  as  good  as  that 
of  aoy  man  in  the  country.  Not  only  well-posted  on  affairs 
horsey,  he  was  equally  conversant  with  other  matters — in 
fact,  able  to  talk  intelligently  and  well  on  almost  any^ subject. 

Mr.  Martin  was  born  in  New  Hampshire  sixty-six  years 
ago,  and  came  to  California  in  1871.  In  1872  he  went  to 
work  for  E.  J.  Baldwin,  aud  was  employe!  by  that  capitalist 
almost  continuously  up  to  ten  years  ago,  when  his  blindness 
came  upon  him.  Since  that  time  Mr.  Baldwin  has  stood  no- 
bly by  his  old  friend,  paying  all  his  expenses  and  making 
life  as  pleasant  for  the  blind  horseman  as  it  was  possible  for 
him  to  do.  Mr.  Martin  had  a  very  wide  acquaintance  both 
here  and  at  the  East,  and  will  be  greatly  missed.  His  funeral 
takes  place  this  afternoon,  and  the  pall-bearers  are  some  of 
the  best-known  of  San  Francisco's  citizens. 

Mabcl's  Daly,  the  wealthy  mine  owner  of  Montana,  has 
issued  a  catalogue  of  the  trotters  at  Bitter  Root  Stock  Farm. 
He  has  a  remarkably  high-bred  lot  of  horses,  and  in  a  few 
years  his  trotters  should  win  as  much  fame  on  the  turf  as 
have  his  runners.  Mr.  Daly  believes  in  breeding  to  develop 
mares,  and  many  familiar  to  old  Grand  Circuit  followers  arc 
in  the  breeding  ranks  at  Bitter  Roct  Farm.

Eureka  Roller  Bearings. 


In  catling  the  attention  of  our  readers  to  the  advertisement 
of  the  Eureka  Roller  Bearings  Co.,  in  another  column  of  this 
issue,  we  believe  that  we  are  bringing  to  their  notice  one  of 
the  greatest  inventions  of  this,  the  age  of  great  inventions.  It 
has  always  been  the  aim  of  inventors  to  overcome  friction  in 
the  working  parts  of  their  machines  as  far  as  possible,  and  to 
accomplish  this,  lubricants  are  used  and  bearings  babbitted. 
For  some  lighter  machines  and  vehicles  ball  bearings  have 
proved  a  great  advantage.  To  reduce  friction  to  a  minimum 
in  the  bearings  of  bicycles  and  sulkies  means  to  attain  the 
maximum  of  speed.  The  lowering  of  records  resulting  upon  | 
the  use  of  "  bike"  sulkies  is  due  to  the  ball-bearing  axle  and 
the  pneumatic  tire. 

The  roller  bearing  for  sulkies  now  placed  on  the  market 
by  the  Eureka  Company  is  a6  far  in  advance  of  the  ball  bear- 
ing, as  the  ball-bearing  is  ahead  of  the  old-fashioned  axle.  It 
is  the  ideal  bearing,  being  absolutely  frictionless  ;  it  does  not 
wear  out.  It  requires  no  oil  nor  care  and  cannot  easily  be 
tempered  with.  The  latest  pattern  of  roller  beariogs  manu- 
factured by  this  company  for  sulkies  weighs  no  more  than 
ball  bearings.  They  are  made  of  hardened  steel,  every  part 
being  mathematically  accurate  in  construction,  highly  finished 
and  working  perfectly.  Ball  bearings  for  sulky  axles  are  a 
very  delicate  piece  of  machinery,  the  wearing  surfaces  of  the 
balls  being  very  small,  they  soon  cut  into  the  adjacent  part. 
The  balls  are  made  of  chilled  steel  and  it  does  not  take 
them  very  long  to  wear  the  surfaces  of  the  grooves  irregu- 
larly when  the  bearings  run  nearly  as  hard  as  the  old-fash- 
ioned bearings.  One  principal  advantage  of  the  roller  bear- 
ing is  that  the  surfaces  that  take  the  weight  are  large,  and  all 
parts  of  the  bearing  moving  in  the  same  direction,  there  is 
no  wear  nor  friction. 

The  following  letters  addressed  to  Mr.  A.  T.  Hatch,  Presi- 
dent of  the  Company,  speak  very  highly  of  these  bearings  as 
applied  to  sulkies : 

Los  Angeles,  November  4, 1893. 

Mr.  A.  T.  Hatch— Dear  Sir  :  J  would  like  to  say  that  I  have  used 
your  roller-bearing  sulky,  and  like  it  better  than  any  other  that  I 
ever  used.  McKiuney  trotted  in  2:11%  at  Stockton  to  one  of  your 
roller- bearing  sulkies,  which  is  faster  than  he  ever  trotted  to  aay 
other  sulky.    I  will  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all  horsemen 


etc.. 


C.  A. 


Yours, 

DUKFEE. 


Los  Angeles,  October  17, 1893. 

Mr.  A.  T.  Hatch,  San  Francisco— Dear  Sir;  I  sent  your  sulky  to 
Oakland  bv  Mr.  Keating.  I  used  it  at  Santa  Ana,  aud  gave  Bet  Mad- 
ison a  record  of  2:31  aud  Almo  J.  a  record  of  2.19,  and  at  Los  Angeles 
gave  Regina  a  record  of  2:20  iu  the  three-minute  class.  Mr.  Durfee 
gave  McKinnev  his  record  of  2:11%  at  Stockton  iu  it.  Every  one  that 
used  it  said  that  it  was  the  best  running  sulky  they  had  ever  tried. 
I  like  it  better  than  any  I  have  used  ;  it  had  no  jerks  like  the  rest  of 
the  bikes:  the  shafts  were  as  steady  as  the  old-fashion  wheels.  I 
will  be  in  San  Francisco  next  month,  and  would  like  to  talk  with 
you  about  the  sulky.    Yours  truly,  Walter  Maben. 

San  Francisco,  November  27, 1893, 

Mr.  A.  T.  Hatch— Dear  Sir  :  Yours  of  the  25th  at  hand  and  contents 
noted.  I  would  sav  in  regard  to  the  roller  bearings,  such  as  was  used 
iu  your  sulkv  the"  past  season,  that  iu  my  experience  as  a  sulky 
repairer.  I  found  it  to  be  a  lirst-class  bearing  in  every  respect.  It  is 
dust  proof,  needs  no  lubrication  or  adjusting,  the  three  qualifications 
necessary  for  a  perfect  sulky  bearing.    Youjp  truly, 

W.  J.  Kenney,  517  Valencia  street  (bike  repairer). 

The  field  for  the  use  of  these  bearings  is  by  no  means 
limited  to  sulkies  and  bicycles,  as  they  can  be  made  any  size 
and  advantageously  applied  to  any  journal,  from  a  roller 
skate  to  a  propeller  shaft  in  an  ocean  steamer.  In  large 
machines  the  reduction  in  the  friction  aod  consequent  gain 
in  power  would  represent  an  immense  item  of  profit,  and  the 
saving  in  wear,  power  and  oil  that  would  result  from  using 
tu^c  barings  on  all  kinds  of  rolling  stock,  would  soon  pay 
the  difference  I-  cczt  :v:r  the  old  style,  and  as  many  acci- 


dents are  due  to  hot  boxes  in  car  journals  (which  would  be 
impossible  with  the  roller  bearings),  it  would  in  many  in- 
stances be  the  saving  of  life  as  well  as  money. 

The  principal  of  these  bearings  is  most  ingenious,  every 
part  of  the  bearing  moving  so  there  is  no  friction.  It  con- 
sists of  two  series  of  rollers,  one  bearing  on  the  shaft  and 
casing,  the  other  bearing  only  on  the  bearing  rollers  to  keep 
the  latter  separate,  a  ring  bearing  on  its  inner  side  on  small 
journals  of  the  separating  rollers,  and  essentially  a  ring  inter- 
posed between  said  journals  at  its  periphery, and  small  journals 
of  the  bearing  rollers  at  its  inner  side  to  keep  the  orbit  of  the 
separating  rollers  coneentric  with  the  shaft,  all  of  the  parts 
rolling  without  slip  or  sliding  friction.  They  have  been  so 
successfully  tried  by  some  of  the  cable  railway  companies 
within  the  past  few  years,  and  in  every  instance  have  given 
the  utmost  satisfaction,  standing  the  most  severe  tests  and 
lasting  many  times  as  long  as  any  other  style  of  bearing.  On 
the  Piedmont  cable  road, Oakland,  a  carrier  pulley  fitted  with 
these  bearings  ran  continually  from  February  10,  1891,  until 
January  2,  1S93,  690  days  at  a  speed  of  312  revolutions  per 
minute,  equaling  374,000  revolutions  per  day,  making,  con- 
sequently, 258,721,400  revolutions  in  the  690  days,  which 
would  be  equal  to  running  138,000  miles. 

A  passenger  car  wheel  doing  this  work,  making  the  same 
number  of  revolutions,  would  be  equal  to  running  138  trios 
from  San  Francisco  to  New  York,  estimating  the  distance  at 
3,000  miles,  and  this  without  oiling  or  attention.  Had  the 
shaft  spoken  of  in  this  pulley  been  made  of  hard  steel  instead 
of  soft  steel,  no  doubt  it  would  be  good  yet  and  for  years  to 
come.  During  all  this  time  the  boxes  containing  the  bear- 
ings were  never  opened,  aud  received  no  attention  whatever, 
and  were  sometimes  wholly  under  water  in  winter  and  cov- 
ered with  dust  in  summer.  On  the  Powell  street  road  one  of 
these  depression  pulleys  ran  one  year  and  twenty-five  days 
under  great  pressure,  making  over  234,000,000  revolutions  in 
that  period.  The  shaft  was  renewed  at  the  end  of  this  time, 
but  even  then  not  because  it  needed  to  be  renewed,  but  for  the 
purpose  of  putting  in  a  diflerently  constructed  shaft  as  an  ex- 
periment. The  Eureka  Roller  Bearings  Co.  has  a  contract 
with  tlje  Powell  street  road  to  furnish  it  with  depression  pul- 
leys as  fast  as  the  old-style  bearings  are  used  up  at  a  monthly 
rental  of  much  less  than  the  monthly  cost  of  the  old  ones. 

A  pair  of  skates  fitted  with  the  roller  bearings  at  the  last 
skating  rink  season  in  this  city  ran  about  500  miles,  and  were 
used  in  beating  the  best  previous  records.  The  speed  for 
these  bearings  were  about  4,000  revolutions  per  minute,  and 
the  bearings  are  good  for  thousands  of  miles  more.  Any  one 
interested  in  mechanics  would  do  well  to  call  at  the  office  of 
the  Company,  605  Clay  street,  where  the  workings  of  these 
bearings  for  journals  of  different  sizes  can  be  seen.

Sale  of  the  Needham  Stock. 

C.  E.  Needham,  of  Bellota,  has  returned  from  the  East 
well  pleased  with  the  public  sale  of  his  string  of  eleveu  trot- 
ters, but  he  hoped  to  receive  more  than  $3,100  for  Steve 
"Whipple.  The  string  brought  Mr.  Needham  $8,000,  a  better 
average  than  any  stockraiser  has  made  for  a  long  time.  The 
next  day  after  Steve  Whipple  was  sold  an  Austrian  cabled  to 
offer  $5,000  for  the  horse,  but  the  new  owner  would  not  sell 
him.  Needham's  Whipple,  a  two-year-old  by  Steve,  sold  for 
$950,  and  the  next  day  he  changed  owners  for  $1,250.  On 
the  following  Monday  the  colt  was  bought  by  the  present 
owner  of  Director's  Flower  for  $1,500. 

Mr.  Needham  has  a  stable  of  seventy-five  trotters  left,  and 
he  is  as  full  of  enthusiasm  in  looking  for  world-beaters  as  he 
was  years  ago.  In  the  stable  he  has  a  lot  of  fine  Whipple 
stock  that  promise  well,  and    some  of  the  youngsters  are  be- 


lieved to  be  as  speedy  as  the  ones  that  are  gone.  The  king  of 
the  stable  will  be  a  young  horse  by  old  Director,  his  dam  be- 
ing the  dam  of  Steve  Whipple.  She  was  Twist,  by  Whipple's 
Hambletonian,  and  her  dam  was  a  Black  Hawk  mare, 
brought  to  this  State  from  Vermont  by  Mr.  Needham. —

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


Saladin,  2:05},  is  in  winter  quarters  at  Wilmington,  Del. 

J  as.  Nolan  is  handling  a  number  of  fine  trotters  belong- 
ing to  A.  Spreckels  at  the  Oakland  track. 

Moscova,  2:2SA,  is  to  be  bred  to  Guy  Wilkes,  2:151,  this 
year.  Mr.  L.  B.  Dubois  had  her  sent  to  the  San  Mateo  Farm 
last  week.  

I  >aklanp  Track  is  now  becoming  the  center  for  trotting 
horse  men.  A  large  number  of  stalls  have  been  secured  for 
trotters  and  pacers.  

Everybody  interested  in  horses  should  attend  the  great 
sale  of  royal-bred  broodmares,  colts  and  fillies  at  Killip  & 
Co.'s  8alesyard  on  Monday  next. 

T.  C.  An>;i.in.  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  sold  to  Brook  Curry, 
of  the  same  place,  the  bay  yearling  Wilkes  Boy,  out  of  Josie 
King,  by  The  King,  for  $1,200. 

Oitside  of  the  Bay  District  track  there  are  more  trotters 
and  pacers  now  in  training  on  the  tracks  in  California  than 
ever  before  at  this  time  of  the  year. 

The  track  at  Petaluma  never  was  better  at  this  time  of 
the  year.  A  number  of  trainers  are  busy  preparing  colts  and 
fillies  therefor  harder  work  during  the  summer. 

Hilda,  2:08},  is  at  Aptos,  and  is  able  to  trot  around  the 
paddock.  She  will  be  on  the  circuit  this  year.  Mr.  Hickok 
Bays  it  is  wonderful  to  see  her  recovering  so  fast. 

Harry  AoNBW  has  a  two-year-old  by  Director,  out  of 
Nettie  Nutwood  (dam  of  Hillsdale,  2:24),  by  Nutwood,  2:1S|, 
that  will,  it  is  believed,  be  one  of  Monroe  Salisbury's  string 
this  year.    She  is.a  wonder. 

S.  G.  Benson,  the  new  secretary  of  the  Santa  Clara  Valley 
Agricultural  society  is  a  rustler.  It  is  a  well-known  fact  that 
newspaper  men  make  the  best  secretaries  of  racing  associa- 
tions, and  Mr.  Benson  is  the  latest  addition. 

The  first  gelding  to  pace  in  2:10  was  Johnston,  at  Chicago 
in  1883.  The  first  stallion  to  pace  in  that  time  was  Roy 
Wilkes,  at  Independence,  in  1890,  and  the  first  mare  to  pace 
in  the  select  list  was  Cricket,  at  Independence,  in  1S92. 

The  financial  statement  of  the  Northwestern  Breeders'  As- 
sociation for  1893  shows  that  the  receipts  from  all  sources 
were  $116,541.24  and  the  expenditures  $101,922  51,  leaving 
the  balance  to  the  credit  of  the  association  of  $14,618.73. 


Remember  entries  for  the  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association 
close  on  February  1st.  Every  trotting  and  pacing  horse- 
owner  should  send  in  entries  in  time.  It  is  the  best  scheme 
ever  devised  for  them  to  make  money  at  a  very  small  outlay. 

Catalogues  for  the  sale  of  the  Palo  Alto  trotters  at  Los 
Angeles  January  30lh  have  been  issued,  and  will  be  sent  on 
application  to  all  who  desire  any.  Write  to  Killip  &  Co.,  22 
Montgomery  street,  the  well-known  live-stock  auctioneers, 
for  one.  

The  time  to  advertise  your  stallion  is  now,  while  owners 
are  discussing  with  each  other  the  most  desirable  horses  with 
which  to  mat?  their  mares  in  the  spring.  If  the  name  of  your 
horse  is  not  kept  before  them  they  may  forget  that  he  is  in  the 
country. 

Veterinarians  are  resorting  to  the  use  of  the  firing  iron 
more  than  formerly.  The  judicious  use  of  this  agent  is  found 
to  be  of  much  benefit  to  the  tendons  and  joints  of  harness 
racehorses,  and  to  greatly  exceed  the  ordinary  blister  in 
curative  utility. 

Secretary  J.  H.  Steiner  announces  that  the  next  an- 
nual meeting  of  the  stockholders  of  the  American  Trotting 
Register  Association  will  be  held  at  the  American  Hotel  in 
this  city  April  4th,  for  the  election  of  officers  and  the  trans- 
action of  other  important  business. 

C.  A.  Dorfee,  of  Los  Angeles,  is  on  a  visit  to  this  city. 
He  thinks  seriously  of  bringing  the  champion  trotting  stallion 
McKinney,  2:11}  to  Oakland  to  stand  for  the  season.  Anumber 
of  owners  of  good  mares  bave  expressed  their  desire  to  breed 
to  this  great  son  of  Alcyone  if  he  is  brought  here. 

At  L.  U.  Shippee's  stock  farm  there  are  about  a  dozen 
first-class  daughters  of  Director  out  of  mares  by  Hawthorne 
that  are  for  sale  at  reasonable  prices.  They  are  of  good  size 
and  bred  in  the  purple.  Mr.  Shippee  has  a  number  of  other 
choicely-bred  fillies  and  colts  that  he  wants  to  sell. 


. 


Wm.  CoRiiiTT,  proprietor  of  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm,  will 
hold  his  sale  of  well-bred  Wilkes  trotters  at  his  farm.  It  will 
be  extensively  advertised,  and  no  doubt  those  who  have  been 
anxious  to  secure  representatives  of  the  mighty  Guy  Wilkes 
and  hi*  great  son  Sable  Wilkes  will  secure  bargains. 

The  grand  stand,  club  house  and  entire  stabling  at  Home- 
wood  Park,  Pittsburg,  were  burned  to  the  ground  Christmas 
night.  Thin  in  doubtless  the  finish  of  Homewood,  and  the 
trotting  clans  have  probably  gathered  at  the  track  where 
Maud  S.  broke  the  world's  record  \n   1881  for   the  last  time. 

Mamhkino  PATCHES  leads  all  sires  of  producing  dams 
with  a  grand  total  of  101.  Hambletonian  comes  a  close  sec- 
ond with  98.  George  Wilkes  and  Almont  are  tie  for  third 
with  7")  each.  The  Indiana  Blue  Bull  is  next  with  64.  All 
with  the  exception  of  Almont  are  old  than  Mambrino 
Patch  en,  and  Almont  is  only  two  years  younger. 

Tb  I  old  Almont  mare,  Francesca,  that  was  bred  by  W.  D. 
Withers,  is  being  hnndled  by  Dan  Lawrence  at  Pleasanton. 
8hewill  get  a  mark  of  2#5  this  year.  The  first  time  she  ever 
had  a  harnetw  on  was  la»t  November.  She  is  over  twelve 
year*  of  age,  and  is  the  dam  of  a  number  of  promising  colts 
and  fillies  belonging  to  Myers  &  Myers,  of  Piedmont,  C'al. 

jAMSfl  BothKBLAVD  of  Pleasanton  has  a  number  of  verv 
fino  coltx  find  fillies  at  his  place.  They  are  all  in  the  pink 
of  conditio:.  Mis  well-known  reputation  as  a  careful  colt 
handler  ak  -s  insures  him  a  number  of  royally-bred  onea 
throughout  the  entire  year.  A  large  number  that  have  ap- 
peared in  Salisbury's  'strings  of  famous  trotters  and  pacers  re- 
ceived their  first  lessons  in  the  way  to  goby  Mr.  Sutherland. 


Directum  has  started  in  races  and  against  time  thirty-one 
times  this  season.  He  was  beaten  in  but  four  heats.  His 
astest  time  was  2:05)  and  slowest  2:16}-. 


Do  not  forget  the  great  sale  of  trotting  stock  next  Monday. 
Seekers  after  royal-bred  broodmares  in  foal  to  first-class  trot- 
ting stallions  should  attend  this  sale  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  sales-

F.  M.  &  D.  R.  Mills,  proprietor  of  the  great  Hambleto- 
nian sire  Egbert  (sire  of  seventy  in  the  list),  would  bring  this 
stallion  to  California  for  February,  March  and  April  if  any 
encouragement  is  given  him. 

The  Werner  Company  of  Chicago  are  issuing  "  Prof.  D. 
Magner's  Standard  Farm  and  Stock  Book"  in  weekly  parts  at 
ten  cents  each.  There  has  been  no  book  of  its  class  published 
to  equal  this  valuable  work,  for  in  it  may  be  found  many  val- 
uable rules  for  training,  and  recipes  for  the  cure  of  all  dis- 
eases of  domestic  animals.  This  publishing  company  intends 
publishing  a  series  of  works  on  agricultural  subjects  every 
week. 

The  financial  statement  of  the  National  Trotting  Associa- 
tion shows  that  Treasurer  L.  J.  Powers  had  cash  on  hand 
May  1, 1S93,  $14,621.39.  The  receipts  from  May  1st  to 
November  1st  were  $15,871.01  ;  disbursements  for  the  same 
period  were  $10,114.70,  making  the  November  1st  balance 
$20,377.70.  The  Treasurer  also  holds  trust  funds  amounting 
to  $13,411.  The  total  money  in  his  keeping  November  1st 
was  $33,788.70. 


In  the  list  of  track  records  recently  published  in  connection 
with  the  2:10  list,  the  Columbia  (Tenn.)  track  record  was 
stated  as  2:09,  to  the  credit  of  Direct.  It  was  in  1891  that 
the  little  black  pacer  won  his  race  there  in  2:09,  2:0S  and 
2:08$,  and  each  heat  was  faster  than  any  previous  mile  in  a 
race  at  that  time  by  either  a  trotter  or  pacer.  It  was  a  typo- 
graphical error,  and  wbile  Direct  holds  the  Columbia  track 
record,  it  should  have  been  2:0S  instead  of  2:09. 

The  Christmas  number  of  the  "Horseman"  is  a  perfect 
casket  of  treasures  over  which  every  subscriber  can  glance 
with  pleasure.  Between  the  richly  lithographed  covers  there 
is  a  wealth  of  good  things  in  the  shape  of  articles  of  rare 
literary  ability  on  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  horse  and  his 
management;  valuable  statistics  for  the  past  year,  besides 
full  page  supplements  of  trotters  and  thoroughbreds  and  other 
excellent  illustrations  that  show  to  what  perfection  our  horses 
are  being  bred.  Every  horseman  in  the  land  should  secure 
a  copy.

bell's place,  Berkeley,  and  will  stand  during  the  season  of 
1894  in  Alameda  and  Contra  Costa  counties  and  then,  after 
the  season  is  ended,  this  horse  will  be  given  a  low  record. 
That  he  will  get  a  mark  close  to  2:20  everyone  who  has  seen 
him  trot  believes. 


Budd  Doele  and  Miss  Hortense  M.  McDonald  were  mar- 
ried at  5  o'clock  at  the  residence  of  S.  M.  V.  Haines,  on  Ash- 
land boulevard,  Chicago,  January  10.  Miss  McDonald,  the 
bride,  under  the  name  of  Hortense  Paulsen,  has  gained  an 
enviable  reputation  as  a  contralto  singer.  Mr.  Doble  had 
been  married  before  and  his  daughter,  Rosebud  Doble,  at- 
tended the  wedding.  Mr.  and  Mrs.  Doble  will  make  a  wed- 
ding tour  in  Europe.  They  are  to  make  their  home  in 
Chicago. 


Supervisor  J.  M.  Tresconv,  of  Monterey,  has  purchased

Arrangements  for  the  trotting  season  at  Fleetwood,  New 
York,  were  made  January  3rd  by  the  executive  committee  of 
the  Driving  Club.  The  following  purse  races  were  decided 
on  for  the  grand  circuit  meeting  :  Three  races  of  $2,000 
each  for  two,  three  and  four-year-olds,  and  races  for  2:14, 
2:20,  2:25  and  2:30  classes,  each  $3,000.  The  races  will  close 
about  February  15th  and  the  conditions  will  be  made  as 
easy  as  possible.  In  adJition  to  the  $18,000  guaranteed  for 
the  above  races,  the  executive  committee  decidsd  to  give 
oiher  races  aggregating  $30,000  in  value,  including  a  free-for 
all.  No  race  will  be  given  for  yearlings,  the  club  being  op- 
posed to  trotting  horses  so  young.  S.  E.  Mason  Jr.  and  F- 
B.  Fasig  were  appointed  a  committee  to  arrange  the  details. 
f  the  races. 

In  a  recent  article  on  lime  in  feeding  stuffy,  Dr.  James 
Law  says,  that  if  phosphate  of  lime  be  present  in  the  blood 
in  excess,  it  is  very  liable  to  be  precipitated,  and  form  stone 
or  gravel,  and  that  there  is  especial  danger  of  this  in  winter 
when  feeding  on  dry  fodder.  Not  only  is  it  true  when  bone 
meal  is  fed,  hut  also  when  phosphate  of  lime  is  fed  in  excess 
in  other  forms,  although  he  inclines  to  the  belief  that  there  is 
less  danger  from  lime  in  vegetable  feed  stuffs  than  when  given 
in  bone  meal,  although  he  gives  instances  that  have  come  un- 
der his  own  observation  where  valuable  bulls  have  died  from 
excessive  feeding  of  phosphates  in  the  form  of  wheat  bran, 
and  of  serious  troubles  in  the  females  from  the  formation  of 
gravel  in  the  kidneys  and  their  ducts.  He  also  regards  it  as 
dangerous  to  feed  bone  meal  or  phosphates  in  any  form  where 
animals  pasture  on  raagnesian-Hmestone  formatiousor  are  fed 
foilder  grown  on  such  formations.  In  such  cases  there  is,  of 
course,  no  deficiency  of  earthy  salts  in  the  fodder,  and  it  is 
only  necessary  that  there  he  a  someweat  protracted  retention 
of  urine  in  order  that  a  chemical  change,  which  he  describes, 
may  take  place,  which  results  in  the  formation  of  insoluble 
crystals  in  the  shape  of  phosphates  of  magnesia  ammonia, 
and  which  is  practically  the  disease  known  as  gravel.  The 
same  thing  not  infrequently  occurs  in  the  large  intestines,  es- 
pecially of  the  horse,  and  becomes  serious  obstructions  to  the 
injury  or  condition.  If  the  soil  be  deficient  in  lime  of  phos- 
phorous, a  small  amount  of  bone  meal  is  desirable,  but  if 
there  is  no  such  deficiency  the  feeding  of  any  considerable 
quantity  is  likely  to  be  attended  with  bad  results.  Although 
feeding  the  meal  is  here  spoken  of  with  special  reference  to 
cattle,  similar  caution  should  be  used  in  feeding  it  to  pigs  for 
the  production  of  bone,  although  we  believe  the  danger  is 
less  with  swine  because  of  their  greater  digestive  capacity. 


Red  Wilkes  has  the  credit  up  to  date  of  eighty-seven  2:30 
performers,  of  which  great  number  twenty-six  have  records 
of  2:20  or  better,  with  2:10  at  the  top  of  the  list.  This  is  more 
than  the  average  percentage  of  extreme  speed.  Red  Wilkes 
still  holds  the  post  of  honor  among  the  sons  of  George 
Wilkes  and  regularly  contributes  to  the  great  roll  on  his  own 
account.  There  is  no  question  as  to  his  blood  breeding  on  to 
the  youugest  generation  from  which  speed  can  come.  In 
1S93  the  service  fee  of  this  great  sire  was  $500,  but  for  1S94 
it  will  be  $300,  with  a  limit  of  mares  taken  on  approval,  the 
usual  return  privilege  being  granted. 

With  the  close  of  the  season  1S93  the  work  of  1894  begins. 
In  the  training  of  trotters  eternal  vigilance  is  the  price  of 
success.  It  is  unremitting  care,  unceasing  toil  at  this  season 
of  the  year  which  turns  into  dollars  later  on.  If  the  trainer 
who  is  wintering  a  stable  of  valuable  horses  can  find  nothing 
to  do  but  sit  by  the  fire,  he  can  blame  only  himself  if  he  sits 
behind  next  summer  when  the  money  is  hung  up.  Little 
things  neglected  now,  such  as  the  care  of  the  feet,  the  proper 
ventilation  and  cleanliness  of  the  stall,  the  regular  exercise, 
even  though  the  weather  may  not  be  the  best,  may  cause  an 
irreparable  loss.  The  winter  work  cannot  be  deferred  till 
spring,  but,  like  everything  else  of  importance,  must  be  done 
in  its  proper  time  and  place. 

Clark's  Horse  Review  has  in  its  last  Christmas  num- 
ber eclipsed  all  previous  ones.  It  is  a  magnificent  illustrated 
compendium  of  useful  knowledge  that  should  find  a  place  in 
every  horseman's  library.  The  excellence  of  the  illustrations 
are  in  keeping  with  the  superiority  of  its  pictures.  In  the 
publication  of  such  a  journal  its  capable  managers  are  to  be 
congratulated,  for  by  it  they  have  shown  that  the  interest  in 
the  trotting  horse  have  not  waned  during  1S93.  The  cor- 
rectness of  the  tables  published  makes  them  the  authority, 
and  the  amount  of  work  it  has  taken  to  compile  them  is  al- 
most incomprehensible  to  those  who  have  never  given  this 
branch  of  turf  literature  much  thought.  Typographically,  it 
is  a  gem  and  a  credit  to  the  printers  and  artists  employed. 

The  first  three-year-old  to  beat  2:20  was  Electioneer's 
daughter,  and  the  first  to  beat  2:10  is  his  granddaughter. 
Beside  2:08] — a  record  equaling  that  of  Maud  S„  which  so 
long  stood  against  the  world — 2:20  does  not  look  so  impres- 
sive as  of  yore,  bat  at  the  same  time  any  three-year-old  capa- 
ble of  getting  a  record  as  fast  is  acknowledged  to  be  high-class 
and  worthy  of  more  than  passing  notice.  In  a  table,  embrac- 
ing all  the  three-year-olds  of  1893  with  records  of  2:20  or 
better,  it  is  observed  that  the  house  of  Wilkes  is  in  the  as- 
cendant. Nine  of  the  thirty-three  youngsters  enumerated  are 
by  sons  of  Geo.  Wilkes  and  seven  are  by  his  grandsons.  His 
son,  Bar  n  Wilkes,  is  the  only  sire  with  three  representatives, 
while  those  with  two  each,  Axlell,  Sable  Wilkes  and  Lark 
Night,  are  his  grandsons.  In  the  female  Hue  Nutwood  has 
the  lead,  three  of  his  daughters  being  credited  as  dams,  while 
Happy  Medium  has  two.  The  predorainence  of  Hambleton- 
ian blood  is  tremendous,  as  with  the  sole  exception  of  Little 
Snap,  every  member  of  the  list  traces  directly  back  in  the 
male  line  to  the  Hero  of  Chester,  while  the  dams  of  twenty- 
two  are  of  similar  descent. 


In  answer  to  the  inquiry,  "  What  is  the  proper  and  exact 
way  foput  a  horse  in  condition  for  a  two-mile  heat  race,  best 
two  in  three,  and  for  a  five-mile  race  on  the  ice  ?"  "Veritas" 
says  in  "The  Horseman,"  "  There  is  no  exact  way  unless  one 
has  full  knowledge  of  the  horse's  powers,  peculiarities  and 
capabilities.  Takiug  it  for  granted  that  he  is  sound,  rusged 
and  in  roadster  condition,  he  should  be  fed  liberally  with 
oats  and  clean  timothy  hay.  Give  mashes  twice  a  week  after 
fast  work.  Jog  him  about  six  miles  daily  and  work  out  a 
mile  at  half  speed,  brushing  him  at  the  finish  as  fast  as  he 
can  go.  He  should  get  this  fast  mile  twice  a  week.  Three 
days  prior  to  the  race  give  him  three  of  the  same  kind  of 
heats.  For  a  five-mile  dash  let  the  horse  be  jogged  ten  miles 
daily  and  driven  at  half  speed  over  the  distance  once  a  week 
until  the  week  of  the  race,  then  his  last  preparatory  five-mile 
work  should  be  done  four  days  prior  to  the  race.  Give  him 
a  little  opening  work  half  an  hour  before  the  race  is  called 
Keep  him  warmly  clothed  afterwards.  Use  plenty  of  lini-. 
menton  legs  and  body  after  fast  work  and  see  that  he  is  not 
exposed  to  drafts  or  wet  blankets." 

In  these  days  to  bring  colts  to  a  speedy  poini  as  quick  as 
possible,  hurried  breaking  is  to  be  deprecated.  The  rudiments 
of  good  behavior  in  harness  should  be  taught  in  the  primary 
lessons.  Many  bave  thrown  away  the  dumb  jockey  and  cruel 
bitting  rig  and  started  to  work  the  colt  before  he  knew  the 
full  use  of  the  bit,  reins  and  words  of  command.  Conse- 
quently the  youngster  is  unfitted  for  pleasure  driving,  and  at 
trying  times  on  the  track  is  positively  unsafe.  Thorough 
breaking  is  best  for  track  and  road  purposes  Step  bv  step 
let  the  colt  grow  familiar  with  the  halter,  then  the  light  trot- 
ting harness,  for  twenty  minutes  or  so  daily.  Do  not  torture 
him  with  a  rigid  check  and  sharp  bit  for  hours  at  a  time.  In 
the  course  of  two  or  three  weeks  give  him  a  feff  lessons  with 
lines,  and  latter  put  him  bet  ween  a  pair  of  poles,  preparatory 
to  going  in  harness  to  a  very  light  rig  or  hitched  alongside  a 
well-broken  horse.  Presently  gaiting  begins,  and  now  the 
utmost  watchfulness  is  needed  to  use  such  shoes,  boots,  bits 
and  checks  as  will  enable  the  pupil  to  find  his  best  gait.  In 
some  cases,  no  matter  what  skillful  experiments  are  brought 
into  play,  the  colt  will  trot  very  awkwardly  but  pace  fast  and 
smooth.  The  speed  should  be  cultivated  at  this  gait  by  very 
light  shoeing  iu  front,  say  three  ounces  or  tips  and  a  six- 
ouuee  shoe  behind. 

The  veteran  New  Yorker,  Charles  Robinson,  whose  con- 
servatism has  kept  his  stock  in  the  background  for  many 
years,  has  just  made  a  departure  from  his  old-time  policy, 
which  cannot  fail  to  bring  oneof  the  oldest  and  most  exten- 
sive breeding  establishments  of  that  section  to  the  front, 
Henry  S.  Shultz  of  Kentucky  has  recently  signed  a  contract 
with  Mr.  Robinson  to  take  charge  of  the  training  department 
of  the  farm.  The  Robinson  string  will  be  located  at  Jacob 
Ruppert's  Hudson  River  Driving  Park,  Poughkeepsie. 
Among  the  dozen  or  more  stallions  owned  at  the  Robinson 
Farm  is  Dexter  Bradford,  one  of  the  few  remaining  sons  of 
Rysdyk's  Hambletonian  yet  fit  for  service.  Another  one  is 
Trinket  Boy,  by  Dexter  Bradford,  out  of  the  famous  old  mare 
Trinket,  2.14,  that  the  late  Charles  Shiw  of  the  Windsor  Ho 
tel  used  to  drive  on  the  road.  Trainer  Shultz  was  for  four 
years  with  the  late  W.  II.  Wilson  at  Abdallah  Park,  Cynthi-'  I 
ana,  Ky.  It  was  Charles  Robinson  who  sold  the  late  Senatoi  ' 
Stanford  his  first  stallion,  when,  many  years  since,  the  Cali- 
fornian  came  East  to  buy  stock  for  the  then  projected  Pale 
Alto  Farm.  The  stalliou  was  General  Benton,  for  which  the 
Senator  paid  $25,000.

Racing  Magnate  George  Walbaum  leftvfor  Santa 
Anita  rancho  last  Monday  with  E.  J.  Baldwin  and  a  number 
of  friends.  

Dr.  Gideon  Lee  Knapp  'u  contemplating  a  trip  to  Cali- 
fornia during  the  winter  months.  If  he  goes  at  all  he  will 
start  soon. 

Piggott,  the  Macdonough  stable  lightweight,  is  quite  a 
"  find."  A  year  ago  Trainer  Henry  Walsh  took  him  out  of 
an  orphan  asylum.  

J.  K.  &  F.  P.  Keene  won  $235,760  with  four  two-year-olds 
last  season,  Domino,  Hornpipe,  El  Telegrafo  and  Hyder  Abad 
composing  the  quartette. 

Hugh  McCalmont,  who  sent  Islington  to  Hanford,  Cal., 
was  the  largest  winner  on  the  Ehglish  turf  in  1S93.  His  win- 
nings footed  up  $127,155. 

Starter  Pettengill  is  reported  to£ave  accepted  the  po- 
sition and  salary  offered  him  by  the  WesS^h  Turf  Circuit  au- 
thorities.   The  sum  is  $7,500. 

Barney  Schreiber  telegraphed  his  friends  at  St.  Louis 
Saturday  that  Motto  was  a  cinch.  When  his  mare  Lonnie 
B.  won  Barney  was  well-nigh  inconsolable. 

A  gatherer  of  statistics  has  discovered  that,  in  1893,  477 
horses  started  over  the  tracks  in  Chicago  without  being 
placed  one,  two,  three  in  any  of  their  races. 

The  famous  Morello  has  not  been  out  of  his  stall  since  his 
race  in  tne  Rancho  del  Paso  stake.  The  blistered  leg  is  badly 
swollen,  and  the  great  horse  cannot  even  walk. 

^fclj.is  stated  in  Western  exchanges  that  "Gill"  Curry,  well- 
known  in  trotting  circles,  has  gone  into  partnership  with  Tom 
Griffin,  and  will  race  in  the  West  next  season. 

Barney  Schreiber  is  disgusted  with  Lonnie  B.  When 
he  does  not  bet  on  the  mares  she  wins  in  impressive  style ; 
when  he  does  have  a  good-sized  wager  on  her  she  is  never  in 
the  hunt.  

Byron  McClelland,  the  famous  Kentucky  turfman,  who 
has  raced  in  his  day  with  such  horses  as  Badge.Bermuda  and 
SalUe  McClelland,  is  expected  to  arrive  in  San  Francisco  in 
a  few  days.  

The  Duke  of  Westminster  has  lately  bought  St.  Mary,  who 
cost  as  a  yearling  some  $18,000,  by  Hermit,  out  of  Adelaide, 
who  was,  by  the  way,  the  dam  of  Peregrine.  She  is  to  be  brei 
toOrme.  

Imp.  Flirt  (dam  of  Flambeau, Fidelia  and  Flirtation)  last 
Monday  foaled  a  fine  bay  filly  by  Racine.  This  is  not  only 
the  first  thoroughbred  foal  we  have  heard  of  in  1894,  but  a 
royally-bred  one. 

Foshall  will  make  the  season  of  1S94  at  the  Crafton  Stud 
in  England,  standing  at  a  fee  of  30  guineas  or  a  little  more 
than  $150.  Sixteen  of  the  first  twenty-four  of  the  get  of  King 
Alfonso  have  proved  winners. 

J.  H.  McCormick  has  sold  to  Gideon  &  Daly  the  five-year- 
old  mare,  Early  Blossom,  by  imp.  Pizarro,  dam  Una,  by  War 
Dance,  for  breeding  purposes.  She  has  been  sent  to  the 
firm's  stud  farm,  near  Holmdel,  N.  J. 

Baron  Schickler  heads  the  list  of  winning  owners  in 
France  for  1893.  His  total  is  $162,700.  Then  follows  M. 
Enphreussi  with  $81,000.  Baron  Schickler's  is  the  largest 
amount  ever  won  by  a  stable  in  France. 

The  grave  of  Longfellow  is  shortly  to  be  adorned  with  a 
monument.  His  bones  now  lay  close  to  the  marble  shaft 
which  towers  above  the  last  resting  place  of  Ten  Broeck,  for 
several  years  his  companion  in  the  stud. 

Morgan,  one  of  the  most  serviceable  horses  in  the  Ken- 
tucky Stable,  is  dead.  He  was  a  five-year-old  chestnut  geld- 
ing by  Frederick  the  Great — Amoretta,  and  last  summer  won 
five  races  in  succerston  and  ran  second  in  a  sixth. 


Sir  Arthur  Sullivan,  of  "  Pinafore  "  fame,  is  coming 
out  as  a  racmg  man  in  England.  His  name  figures  among 
the  list  of  subscribers  of  the  Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  1895. 
Sir  Arthur  has  entered  a  colt  called  Skopts,  which  he  bought 
at  the  late  Lord  Calthorpe's  sale. 

Superintendent  Cy  Mulkey  has  made  a  great  record  at 
Palo  Alto.  One  thing  he  feels  good  about  is  the  fact  that 
out  of  the  forty-three  thoroughbred  mares  on  the  farm  last 
year  forty-two  are  in  foal,  and  it  is  no  wise  certain  that  Fos- 
tress  (the  mare  thought  not  to  be  in^foal)  will  not  prove  to 
after  all. 

The  veteran  racing  official,  "  Uncle  Jim  "  McGowan,  is 
ailing  very  much  these  days.  He  is  virtually  bedridden  and 
is  very  weak  and  feeble.  It  can  scarcely  be  expected  that  he 
will  be  seen  in  his  usual  place  next  season,  though  if  good 
wishes  can  effect  it,  he  would  be  out  and  about  in  a  few  days. 

There  are  now  sixty-eight  thoroughbred  mares  at  Palo 
Alto  Stock  Farm.  A  large  number  purchased  in  Kentucky 
by  an  agent  of  the  late  Senator  Stanford  recently  arrived. 
Superintendent  Mulkey  reports  the  Kentucky  matrons  a  fine- 
looking  lot,  though  not  as  large  as  their  California  equine 
friends. 

The  Australians  again  did  wonderful  execution  on  "Wed- 
nesday. Stromboli  won  in  most  impressive  fashion  from 
some  of  the  very  best  horses  at  the  local  course,  while  Char- 
treuse, by  imp.  Cheviot,  dam  imp.  Zara  (dam  of  Huguenot), 
by  Marvellous  (both  sire  and  dam  Australian-bred),  simply 
spread-eagled  her  field  in  the  last  race. 

E.  C.  Hopper,  secretary  of  the  Latonia  Jockey  Club,  and 
Carey  Applegate,  took  a  trip  down  to  Mexico  to  see  what  the 
racing  there  was  like.  They  are  back  and  very  glad  to  set 
foot  on  their  "  native  heath"  once  more,  for  they  both  fell 
sick  and  are  emphatic  in  their  statements  that  racing  at  the 
City  of  Mexico  is  a  pronounced  "  frost." 

The  statement  sent  out  from  Lexington  recently,  to  the 
effect  that  Isaac  Murphy  had  retired  permanently  from  rid- 
ing races,  was  untrne.  Murphy  is  now  at  his  home  in  this 
city  and  his  health  is  greatly  improved.  He  is  lighter  than 
he  has  been  for  several  years.  He  will  most  likely  ride  in  the 
East  next  season. — Kentucky  Live  Stock  Record,  Lexington,

The  St.  Louis  Republic  has  a  story  of  a  man's  hard  luck. 
He  found  but  that  the  race  in  "The  County  Fair"  was  a 
"  cincb,"  as  he  called  it,  for  Cold  Molasses.  Next  night  he 
brought  four  frhjeds  to  the  theater  and  whispered  to  the 
ticket-seller  thai  he  had  made  bets  with  them  and  given  them 
the  field  against  Cold  Molasses.  That  night  the  machine  broke 
dowd  and  Cold  Kolasses  came  in  last. 


Volante  was  on  the  turf  five  seasons  and  won  over  $65,- 
000.  He  started  in  eighty -four  races,  of  which  he  was  thirty- 
five  times  returned  winner,  twenty-eight  times  second  and 
eleven  times  third.     Volante  ran  but  ten  times  unplaced. 

A  carload  of  horses  belonging  to  Messrs.  John  A.,  A.  H. 
and  D.  H.  Morris  has  been  shipped  from  Maryland  to  take 
part  in  the  New  Orleans  winter  meeting.  It  is  the  intention 
that  Fred  Littlefield  shall  train  and  ride  them,  as  was  origi- 
nally proposed. 

Byron  McClelland  has  gone  into  the  hardware  busi- 
ness, and  is  now  a  member  of  a  Lexington  firm  in  that  line. 
The  firm  name  is  Smith,  McClelland  and  Watkins.  Presuma- 
bly he  will  bring  a  large  supply  of  "lead  pipes"  on  East 
with  him  next  year. 

Entry  blanks  for  Louisville  Jockey  Club,  Latonia,  Wash- 
ington Park  and  Saratoga  Associations  coming  spring  and 
I  summer  meetings  can  be  had  of  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man's representatives  at  the  Bay  District  track,  and  also  at 
the  office,  313  Bash  street. 


It  now  transpires  that  the  license  of  the  Monmouth  Park 
Racing  Association  was  revoked  August  7,  1893.  It  also  ap- 
pears that  the  license  fee,  $5,000,  was  never  paid  by  the  big 
track  and  yet  racing  was  carried  on  over  it  last  year.  The 
County  Commissioners  "got  a  cinch"  on  the  track  authorities 
and  if  they  wajit  to  race  they  will  be  compelled  to  pay 
their  dues. 

The  races  of  the  season  just  finished  are  being  analyzed  by 
the  experts,  and  the  performances  of  the  horses  when  ridden 
by  diferent  jockeys  are  being  criticised.  The  result  arrived 
at  by  many  experienced  turfmen  is  that  Taral  and  Doggett 
are  the  most  consistent  of  the  jockeys,  and  that  many  of  the 
others  are  far  more  addicted  to  "in-and-out"  riding  than  the 
horses  are  to  "in-and-out"  running. 

Jisimy  McCormick  seems  a  little  doubtful  as  to  what 
Lamplighter  will  do  next  year.  The  horse  is  doing  well 
enough  at  present,  but  it  will  have  to  be  borne  in  mind  in 
justice  to  his  present  trainer,  that  the  horse  was  turned  over 
to  him  after  such  a  drumming  as  is  liable  to  effect  any 
horse,  no  matter  what  his  class.  If  he  can  be  brought 
round  to  his  best  form  it  will  reflect  credit  on  Mr.  Mc- 
Cormick. 

Fire  destroyed  a  barn  containing  fourteen  head  of  saddle 
and  thoroughbred  horses  on  the  farm  of  Charles  L.  Railey  on 
the  night  of  December  29th.  Among  those  that  perished  is 
the  saddle  stallion  Partisan,  property  of  General  T.  T  Eckert, 
and  a  bay  two-year-old.  thoroughbred  filly  by  Strathmore,  out 
of  Skylight,  owned  by  C.  Elmer  Railey.  The  others  belonged 
to  Charles  Railey,  and  were  about  ready  for  the  New  York 
market.    The  loss  is  estimated  at  $15,000  ;  insurance,  $2,000. 

The  victory  of  Cito  over  Ballarat,  First  Lap  et  al.  on  Sat- 
urday demonstrates  conclusively,  to  our  minds,  that  had  not 
Longwell  repeatedly  fouled  him  Cito  would  have  won  easily 
enough.  No  one  classes  Lonewell  with  Ballarat  as  a  steeple- 
chaser. The  California  Jockey  Club  orEciars  who  refused  to 
give  Cito  the  race  of  last  week  on  a  foul  will  now  doubtless 
acknowledge  that  they  erred  in  not  doing  so,  in  view  of  Cito's 
defeat  of  better  horses  than  Longwell. 


Mr.  Charles  Reed  has,  after  careful  selection,  bought  the 
four-year-old  Tom  Flynn,  by  Emperor — Staccato,  for  J.  L. 
Strathie  of  Montreal,  from  M.  %  Donovan.  Mr.  Reed  is 
much  struck  with  the  chance  a  horse  of  his  conformation, 
short-backed,  with  sound  forelegs,  has  of  fencing  well,  be- 
side the  undoubted  turn  of  speed  he  possesses.  As  Mr.  Reed 
picked  out  Trouble,  Disturbance,  Revenge,  Waller  and  others 
he  may  well  be  accounted  a  good  judge  of  "  timber  toppers." 


Clacquer's  running  qualities  are  owned  by  Johnny  Ap- 
pleby, brother  to  Orville.  The  other  day  a  tout  came  rush- 
ing up  to  Orville  in  the  betting  ring.  "Go  play  Clacquer," 
said  he.  "What  for  ?  "  said  Orville,  with  a  merry  twinkle  in 
his  eye.  "He  was  never  better,  and  is  out  for  the  stuff.  I 
ought  to  know,  for  I   own    him."     "You   are  sure  you   own 

him,"  remarked  O .     "Quite  sure,"  said  Mr.  Tout.  "You 

I  "  was  all  that  Orville  could  find  tongue 

to  say.    The  cheek  of  the  man  had  paralyzed  hinf.     * 


A  St.  Louis  dispatch  of  last  night  says :  R.  C.  Pate  claims 
that  his  failure  in  the  Mexican  racing  venture  is  due  to  cir- 
cumstances impossible  to  surmount.  He  will  return  to  Mex- 
ico and  settle  affairs  and  will  be  satisfied  if  less  than  $200,000 
is  in  the  hole.  He  will  shutdown  the  track  unless  local  capi- 
tal is  enlisted.  Pate  says:  "I  made  a  big  mistake  in  open- 
ing up  without  some  Mexicans  financially  interested.  Amer- 
ican horses  outclassed  the  native  performers,  which  thor- 
oughly disgusted  the  aspiring  local  turf  men.  Some  were 
game  and  wanted  to  purchase  some  thac  could  win,  but  out- 
rageous prices  were  demanded  and  no  sales  resulted." 


The  Board  of  Stewards  met  Wednesday  evening  at  the 
Palace,  Colonel  Jack  Chinn,  James  Rowe  and  T.  H.  Williams 
being  present.  The  long-deferred  investigation  in  regard  to 
Jockey  George  Miller  came  up.  It  was  decided  to  remove 
the  suspension,  but  it  was  also  decided  that  Miller  be  not  al- 
lowed to  ride  at  the  meeting  now  in  progress.  It  looks  to  us 
as  if  there  was  no  middle  ground  in  such  a  case  as  .this. 
Either  Miller  was  or  was  not  guilty.  We  should  judge  the 
Stewards  found  him  not  guilty  by  removing  the  suspension, 
and  he  has  already  been  on  the  ground  too  long,  if  nothing 
wai  proved  against  him,  as  it  appears. 

Child  of  the  Mist,  the  Blair  Athol  stallion  owned  by 
Marcus  Daly,  was  recently  offered  for  sale  at  Newmarket, 
Eng.,  but  failed  to  reach  the  reserve  figures  $12,500,  An  Aus- 
trian owner  is  negotiating  for  him  and  if  this  is  not  accepted 
the  horse  will  stand  this  vear  in  his  native  land.  At  the  same 
sale  Ishmael,  by  Adventurer,  dam  Linda,  a  very  well-bred 
horse  and  a  good  winner,  sold  for  $165.  Ishmael  was  the 
"Scotch  Horse"  in  the  St.  Leger  won  by  Iroquois,  and 
though  tried  highly  enough  to  win,  "  dumped  "  his  party. 
He  was  then  the  property  of  Sir  Robert  Jardioe. 

The  management  of  the  Madison  race  track  is  preparing 
to  try  an  interesting^xperiment.  The  patent  starter  arranged 
by  George  V.  Hankins  and  Harry  Romaine,  of  Chicago,  will 
be  given  a  trial  shortly.  Along  each  rail  are  immense  arms 
which  carry  a  rod  extending  across  the  track.  The  horses 
line  up  by  this  rod  and  when  they  are  in  proper  order  the 
starter  gives  a  signal,  a  cord  is  pulled  and  the  ends  fly  into 
the  air,  leaving  tne  track  free.  The  principal  advantages 
claimed  by  the  inventors  and  promoters  of  the  new  arrange- 
ment is  that  it  will  prevent  a  break  before  the  horses  are  in 
proper  alignment,  prevent  runaways  and  give  all  of  the  horses 
a  chance  to  get  away  on  even  terms.

The  local  Board  of  Racing  Stewards  has  made  the  follow- 
ing report  In  the  Van  Ness  case:  "The  Board  of  Stew- 
ards have  this  night  held  their  final  meeting  in  regard  to  the 
Van  Ness  case,  and  decide  as  follows:  That  the  first  deci- 
sion, in  which  Mr.  Van  Ness  was  directed  to  remove  his 
horses  from  the  track,  was,  and  the  Board  still  unanimously 
agrees,  a  correct  one,  the  said  ruling  having  been  made  on 
account  of  the  in-and-out  running  of  the  horses  of  that  stable. 
However,  on  account  of  numerous  appeals  having  been  made 
on  behalf  of  Mr.  Van  Ness  and  bis  horses,  the  Board  will  not 
oppose  the  racing  of  Mr.  Van  Ness'  horses,  provided  the  ma- 
jority of  the  members  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association  sign  a 
written  petition  to  allow  him  to  race,  with  the  above  resolu- 
tion of  the  Board  of  Stewards  affixed.  J.  P.  Chinn,  Chair- 
man." 



Col.  A.  J.  Gambill,  better  known  as  "Colonel  Jack," 
died  last  Sunday  at  St.  Luke's  Hospital  in  this  city,  aged 
about  eighty  years.  Col.  Gambill  was  a  pioneer  of  California, 
coming  here  in  December,  1349,  and  was  one  of  the  Golden 
State's  greatest  characters — a  square  sport  and  a  wonderful 
story-teller.  He  was  very  well  known  to  the  older  Califor- 
nians,  and  was.  one  of  the  handsomest  men  to  be  found  any- 
where. Notwithstanding  his  extreme  age  and  height,  he 
was  as  erect  as  an  Apache  Indian  up  to  the  day  of  his  death. 
Col.  Gambill  was  a  Tennesseean,  born  at  Knoxville,  and  left 
one  son,  C.  J.  Gambill.  Mrs.  Blanche  J.  de  Greayer,  who 
was  the  wife  of  Harry  de  Greayer,  shot  in  Golden 
Gate  Park,  was  his  daughter.  She  died  about  two  years  ago. 
The  funeral  will  be  held  to-day  at  2  o'clock  from  Pioneer 
Hall  on  Fourth  street.  The  interment  will  be  in  Laurel 
Hill  Cemetery.  

As  it  is  now  very  certain  that  there  will  be  no  racing  in 
New  Jersey  this  year,  it  is  probable  that  racing  will  be  re- 
vived at  Jerome  Park  next  summer.  A  lease  of  the  old  park 
has  been  secured  by  the  Monmouth  Park  Racing  Association 
for  the  current  year,  and  this  association  will  race  during  the 
months  of  July  and  August,  taking  the  dates  of  the  Mon- 
mouth Park  Association,  which  is  in  a  New  Jersey  corpora- 
tion. The  same  concern  is  incorporated  in  this  State  as  well, 
this  being  done  when  racing  was  abandoned  at  the  Monmouth 
Park  track  a  coupleof  years  ago.  The  Monmouth  Park  Rac- 
ing Association  will  neither  try  daily  racing  nor  attempt  to 
fight  the  Brighton  Beach  Association  this  year,  as  the  Mon- 
mouth Park  Association  did  to  its  sorrow  last  season.  An  ar- 
rangement for  racing  on  alternate  days  will  be  entered  into 
between  the  two  tracks,  both  of  which  have  expressed  a  wil- 
lingness to  conduct  racing  under  the  supervision  of  the  pro 
posed  jockey  club  which  will  be  organized"  .'..'•*  wee'  S 
Y.  Times.  

We  often  hear  of  race  horses  having  broken  down,  yet  com 
paratively  few  know  what  the  term"  means.  A  writer  thus 
desciibes  the  injury:  "Break-down  is  the  name  given  to 
rupture  of  a  tendon  or  ligament.  In  trotting  horses  it  is 
usually  below  the  knee  or  hock  at  the  back  of  the  limb,  affect- 
ing those  structures  known  as  the  flexor  sinews,  or  the  sus- 
pensory ligament.  The  mishap  is  most  frequent  in  aged 
animals  that  have  had  a  deal  of  track  work  or  racing,  or 
whose  sinewy  structures  may  be  naturally  too  weak  for  the 
severe  stress  put  upon  them,  or  speeded  too  much  before 
properly  conditioned.  It  is  diagnosed  by  an  acute  and  sud- 
den lameness,  a  turning  up  of  the  toe  of  the  foot,  and  descent 
of  the  ankle  towards  the  ground,  with  rapid  swelling,  heat 
and  much  pain  at  the  point  of  injury.  Within  a  short  time 
in  many  cases,  owing  to  the  degree  of  sullering  thereby 
created,  we  find  considerable  symptoms  of  irritative  fever.  A 
sprain  of  these  structures  is  a  less  severe  form  of  break-down, 
and  in  which  a  laceration  or  yielding  of  a  portion  of  their 
constituent  fibrous  tissue  tajies  the  place  of  a  rupture.  Here 
the  lameness  may  be  jusPas  sudden,  and  though  sufficiently 
pronounsed  is  not  so  intensely  painful,  there  is  no  tendency 
to  tuTiing  up  of  the  toes  or  dropping  of  the  ankle,  but  rather 
the  reverse,  the  horse  standing  and  walking  on  his  toe  a* 
much  as  possible,  keeping  the  ankle  at  the  same  time  flexed 
to  relieve  the  sinews  and  ligaments  of  tendons.

The  anonymous  circular  sent  to  the  members  of  the 
Blood  Horse  Association  several  days  prior  to  the  late 
election  in  the  interest  of  the  so-called  reform  ticket,  and 
quoting  extracts  from  the  special  department  of  this 
paper,  in  charge  of  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson,  did  not  emanate 
from  this  office,  and  no  one  connected  with  this  paper 
knew  of  the  publication  of  such  a  circular  until  it  was 
received  through  the  mails. 


Tmf  twenty-five  days'  racing  at  the  Summer  meeliug 
of  the  Washington  Park  Club,  Chicago,  should  be  well 
patronized  by  the  large  number  of  horsemen  now  in  Cali- 
fornia. In  the  nine  grest  sweepstake  events  declarations 
Tre  permitted  for  a  very  small  amount,  and  as  there  will 
bo  large  numbers  of  other  short  races,  offering  ample 
opportunities  for  horsemen  to  make  plenty  of  money, 
there  should  be  no  delay  in  sending  entries  for  the  big 
evanta  at  once.  The  track  at  Washington  Park  is  one 
of  the  finest  in  the  I'uited  States,  ami  as  the  horses  now 
in  training  and  racing  at  the  Bay  District  Track  will  be 
better  fit  for  the  Eastern  circuit  than  those  that  are  un- 
able to  be  worked  on  the  other  side  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains, it  can  be  seen  that  a  decided  advantage  lies  with 
those  which  are  here.  All  horsemen  intend  to  take 
in  the  Eastern  circuit,  and  in  order  to  have  an  opportu- 
nity of  getting  their  horses  in  the  stake  races  there,  it  is 
absolutely  necessary  that  they  should  fill  out  entry 
blanks  which  can  be  bad  at  this  office  or  at  our  reporter's 
desk  in  the  Club  House,  at  the  Bay  District   Track,  and 

send   tin    ■  on    im iiatelv.     Entries   will    close   next

We  have  it  on  good  authority  that  Directum,  2:05], 
will  not  be  the  king-pin  in  Monroe  Salisbury's  string 
this  year.  John  Green,  the  owner,  has  made  arrange- 
ments with  John  Kelly  to  have  him  take  the  horse 
through  the  East,  as  the  latter  has  resigned  from  Mr.  Salis- 
bury's employ.  He  will,  with  Mr.  Green's  son  as  mana- 
ger, get  a  small  string  of  'rotters  ready  to  take  East. 
With  Monroe  Salisbury,  Orrin  A.  Hickok,  John  A. 
Goldsmith  and  several  other  horsemen  to  form  this  band 
Eastern  tourists  through  the  circuit,  John  Kelly  will  be 
quite  an  addition.  With  Kelly,  Salisbury,  Keating  and 
Hickok  to  purchase  and  lease  the  very  finest  of  our  most 
promising  trotters  and  pacers,  and  to  enter  them  in  all 
the  greatest  events  on  the  Eastern  circuits,  most  of  our 
most  prominent  stallions  will  be  well  represented,  as  well 
as  a  number  that  have  never  yet  had  a  trotter  or  pacer 
in  the  list.  With  these  taken  out  of  the  State  during 
the  time  the  horses  on  the  California  Circuit  are  pro- 
gressing down  the  line,  there  are  additional  inducements 
for  our  small  breeders  to  begin  preparing  their  colts  and 
fillies  at  once.  The  liberality  of  the  associations  on  the 
circuit  will  be  tested,  and,  with  the  original  programme 
formulated  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders 
Association  as  a  guide,  there  will  be  better  opportunities 
for  horses  to  get  low  marks  and  make  money  than 
ever  before.  With  the  very  fastest  ones  out  of  the  way, 
and  a  number  of  our  best  drivers,  who  have  become  in- 
fatuated with  the  racing  of  bangtails,  away  off  on  the 
Eastern  circuits  with  their  sprinters,  opportunities  will 
present  themselves  for  younger  drivers  to  take  the  reins 
of  the  trotters,  so  pacers  into  their  hands  and  guide 
them  to  victory  and  we  look  forward  with  unfeigned  pleas- 
ure to  the  events  of  this  year,  for  notwithstanding  the 
stringency  of  the  money  market,  and  the  cry  of  "  hard 
times,"  all  horsemen  who  have  trotte"?  that  can  trot  and 
pacers  that  can  pace,  will  endeavor  tc.  get  low  records  for 
all  of  them  and  make  money  at  the  same  time. 

The  breeding  of  stallions  will  not  be  protracted  until 
the  month  of  August,  as  it  has  heretofore  be^n, so  owners 
will  have  an  opportunity  of  giving  these  horses  to  com- 
petent trainers  early  in  July,  thus  giving  them  a  chance 
to  be  trained. 

It  is  to  the  benefit  of  the  horses  and  their  owners  that 
every  stallion  should,  if  possible,  be  given  a  race  record. 
It  not  only  enhances  the  value  of  the  horse,  but  adds 
another  strong  inducement  to  owners  of  broodmares  to 
send  their  mares  to  him,  and  we  all  know  that  the  question 
of  developed  sires  and  dams  is  receiving  greater  endorse- 
ments every  year  by  the  performances  made  by  our  trot- 
ters and  pacers  on  our  race  tracks.  The 
"  hard  times  "  that  have  thwarted  so  many  good  plans 
made  by  breeders  will  soon  pass  away,  and,  perhaps,  when 
we  come  to  look  at  the  class  of  weedy  animals  with  long 
pedigrees  that  could  neither  trot  nor  pace  which  have 
been  offered  at  our  sales,  we  ought  to  be  grateful  that  a 
halt  has  been  called  in  the  breeding  of  such  good-for-noth- 
ing animals  that  are  not  strong  enough  to  pull  a  wagoD, 
fast  enough  to  get  warm,  nor  sensible  enough  to 
be  safe.  It  is  a  good  thing  that  stock  with  such  a  recom- 
mendation will  not  be  seen  on  the  track  or  roads  here- 
after. 

We  expect  to  see  a  better  class  of  horses  on  the  turf 
from  this  time  on  than  ever,  and  when  we  see  them  on 
the  turf  we  shall  see  an  improvement  in  the  class  on  the 
road.  It  will  only  take  a  few  years  until  we  see  a  num- 
ber of  2:30  trotters  on  the  road  where  at  present  the  2:40 
horses  are  very  scarce.  With  all  the  sons  of  our  greatest 
sires  to  breed  to  daughters  of  other  great  sires,  it  is  not 
unreasonable  to  expect  this,  and  even  if  horsemen  take 
the  cream  of  our  trotting  stock  East,  there  will  be 
enough  first-class  material  left  to  make  the  season  of 
1S94  the  greatest  in  the  history  of  light-harness  racing 
here  since  the  first  race  ever  took  place  on  the  old  Pio- 
neer course. 


Latonia  Jockey  Club. 


The  strongest  attachment  horsemen  seem  to  have  for 
any  place  seems  to  be  the  blue  grass  region  of  Kentucky, 
and  one  of  the  pretties',  places  there  is  Covington.  The 
races  given  every  spring  and  fall  by  the  Latonia  Jockey 
Club  "are  the  events  of  the  year,  and  Secretary  Hopper 
sends  the  advertisements  of  these  meetings  to  this  jour- 
nal, so  that  all  our  horsemen  who  intend  to  go  East — 
and  there  are  numbers  of  them — will  have  an  opportu- 
nity of  reading  the  advertised  stakes  and  making  entries 
in  them.  A  perusal  of  the  list  will  convince  any  one 
that  these  great  meetings  must  not  be  overlooked,  and  as 
the  track,  with  its  appointments,  is  one  of  the  best  in 
America,  we  can  personally  recommend   it  to  every  one. 


The  purses  are  large  and  conditions  liberal.  Every  owner 
of  thoroughbreds  should  call  at  this  office  or  at  our  desk 
at  the  Bay  District  track  and  fill  out  entry  blanks  and 
send  them  on  for  next  Monday,  January  loth,  when  all 
the  entries  for  these  stakes  will  close. 


The  P.  C.  B.  H.  Association. 


The  result  of  the  election  of  directors  for  the  Pacific 
Coast  Blood  Horse  Association  was  never  in  doubt,  al- 
though at  the  meeting  it  was  expected  that  several  com- 
mittees would  be  appointed,  one  to  amend  the  by-laws, 
and  another  to  take  action  on  several  matters  that  were 
deemed  essential  for  the  future  welfare  of  the  Associa- 
tion, but  the  time  was  so  occupied  in  listening  to  argu- 
ments pro  and  con  in  the  matter  of  balloting  that  Presi- 
dent Williams  found  it  impossible  to  have  any  other 
work  done. 

The  report  of  the  meeting  appears  in  another  column, 
and  the  statement  made  by  President  Williams  in  refer- 
ence to  California's  merits  as  a  great  State  for  the  raising 
and  racing  Jof  thoroughbreds  needs  no  other  verifica- 
tion than  the  fact  that  we  are  in  daily  receipt  of  applica- 
tions from  all  parts  of  the  United  States  for  complete 
files  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  for  1893,  and 
also  letters  of  inquiry  regarding  the  prices  of  land  and  the 
best  localities  for  horse  breeding. 

The  year  that  is  still  in  its  swaddling  clothes  will  be 
the  greatest  ever  known  in  this  State.  It  will  be  a  bene- 
ficial one  to  every  stock  farm  owner  here;  besides,  it  will 
bring  into  prominence  every  fast  thoroughbred  that  is  at 
present  hidden  away.  It  will  also  be  the  one  during 
which  larger  numbers  of  horsemen  will  be  attracted  to 
this  State  than  ever,  because  of  the  number  of  our  race 
meetings.  During  its  last  two  months,  while  the  great 
Blood  Horse  meeting  is  being  held,  instead  of  having  six 
hundred  horses  domiciled  at  the  Bay  District  track,  there 
will  be  at  least  twelve  hundred.  With  them  will  also 
come  the  wealthiest  breeders  and  horse  owners  in  Amer- 
ica, and,  before  they  leave,  most  of  them  will  have  pur- 
chased the  choicest  of  the  many  farms  they  are 
now  looking  at  for  the  purpose  of  making  their  homes 
on  this  coast  and  the  engaging  in  the  business  that  always 
did  have  a  charm  for  them,  "  breeding  and  raising  of 
thoroughbreds  to  race  and  to  sell." 


The  Horseman,  in  its  last  issue,  publishes  the  follow, 
ing  regarding  the  formation  of  an  association  on  this 
Coast : 

The  breeders  of  trotters  on  the  Pacific  slope  will  shortlv 
meet  in  convention  to  form  an  organization  similar  to  the 
National  and  American  Trotting  Associations.  The  step  is 
a  sensible  one  because  the  conditions  attaching  to  harness 
racing  "  on  the  coast "  differ  materially  from  those  existing 
in  the  North,  East  and  middle  West,  and  therefore  demand  a 
turf  court  of  last  resort,  whose  members  are  residents  of  th 
far  West,  and  intimately  acquainted  with  the  raciDg  interest; 
of  that  territory.  So  many  trotters  are  now  being  bred  in 
California  that  the  old  objection  to  the  formation  of  a  Pacifk 
Coast  Association — "  there  are  not  horses  nor  races  enough  I 
— does  not  now  hold  good.  The  tracks  in  the  East 
generally  members  of  the  National ;  those  of  the  middlt 
West,  of  the'American,  and  [we  think  that  the  breeders  o 
the  far  West  will  benefit  themselves  by  the  formation  of  I 
similar  society.  To  be  successful  in  its  workings  the  nes 
organization  must,  of  course,  recognize  the  ruliDgs  of  th 
National  and  the  American,  which  courtesy  will  doubtless  b 
reciprocated.  In  fine,  reciprocal  legislation  by  the  three  as 
sociations,  each  holding  supreme  sway  over  a  certain  divisioi 
of  the  country,  will  do  much  to  further  the  welfare  of  th 
harness  turf.  Therefore  the  establishment  of  the  Pacifi 
Coast  Trotting  Association  will  be  a  good  thing. 


The  new  Memphis  Jockey  Club  of  Memphis,  Tenn. 
will  hold  their  spring  meeting  at  Montgomery  Park 
April  9th  to  25th  inclusive.  Horsemen  who  are  making 
arrangements  to  take  their  strings  of  horses  East  afte 
the  close  of  the  Jockey  Club  meeting  should  se 
that  they  do  not  miss  this  great  meeting,  entries  fo 
which  will  close  next  Moaday,  January  15.  There  ar. 
seven  splendid  stake  races  to  take  place,  besides  a  ful 
programme  of  over-night  events,  so  good  sport  is  assurec 
President  Montgomery  is  working  hard  to  make  this  th 
best  meeting  of  its  size  ever  held  in  Tennessee,  and  ther 
is  no  reason  why  his  efforts  should  not  be  liberal! 
supported.  If  our  California  horsemen  take  their  horse 
East  they  will  be  better  prepared  to  win  stakes  than  the:

"  Coming  events  cast  their  shadows  before,"  is  a  true 
saying,  and  when  we  glance  through  the  advertising 
columns  or  this  journal  and  see  the  large  number  of  rac- 
ing associations  that  have  sent  on  their  shadows  in  the 
way  of  advertisements,  we  become  impressed  with  the 
fact  that  there  is  something  interesting  to  make  them  so 
prominent.  The  Saratoga  Association  of  Saratoga,  New 
York,  publishes  its  programme  for  the  summer  meeting, 
and  as  the  list  of  stakes  are  larger  and  the  amounts  in 
each  have  also  been  increased,  it  is  only  necessary  to  call 
th°.  attention  of  the  hundreds  of  horsemen  now  on  this 
coast  to  the  fact  that  entries  in  all  of  these  events  will 
close  next  Monday,  January  loth.  Blanks  can  be  had 
at  this  o  Ece,  or  at  our  correspondent's  desk  at  the  Bay 
District  track.  This  is  the  last  notification  horsemen 
will  receive,  and  if  they  want  to  have  the  road  to  success 
prepared  they  should  see  that  this  important  subject 
is  not  delayed.      


The  spring  meeting  of  the  Louisville  Jockey  Club  is 
advertised  in  this  issue,  and  as  a  large  number  of  our 
horsemen  intend  to  visit  the  East  this  year,  it  is  to  their 
interest  that  they  have  their  horses  entered  in  all  the 
important  stakes  to  be  contested  for.  This  club  offers 
inducements  to  all  such  enterprising  horseowners  which 
cannot  be  overlooked.  The  races  commence  on  May  8tb 
and  last  eight  days.  Entries  for  the  stake  races,  as 
per  advertisement  in  another  column,  will  close  nest 
Monday,  January  loth.  To  those  who  have  never  visited 
the  beautiful  city  of  Louisville,  we  urgently  recommend 
them  to  make  entries  for  their  horses  now,  and  bring 
them  to  the  blue  grass  region  svhere  everything  will  be 
done  to  make  their  vi-dt  pleasant  and  profitable.  Eatry 
blanks  can  be  ha  1  at  this  office,  or  at  our  representatives 
desk  at  the  Bay  District  track. 


The  auction  sale  of  Valensin  broodmares,  colts  and 
fillies  besides  those  bred  at  Palo  Alto,  which  is  to  take 
place  next  Monday  atKillip-tfc  Co.'s  salesyard  should  be 
well  attended,  for  it  wijl  be  a  good  opportunity  to 
secure  first-class  animals  at  low  figures.  A  number  of 
sulkies,  road  carts,  wagonettes,  harnesses,  horse  boots 
and  ck  thing  will  also  be  disposed  of. 


Stock  Farms  For  Ail. 


her  dam  were  all  bred  and  raised  there.  Just  two  miles  awav 
is  the  famous  Valensin  Farm,  on  which  the  champion  sire 
of  early  and    extreme    speed,  Sidney,   2:19],  achieved    his 
greatest  successes.     This  farm  was  not  a  bit  better  situated 
than  many  of  similar  size  in  this  great  tract.     Five   miles  I 
from  the  Dougherty  ranch  is  the  town  of  Pleasanton,  the  | 
home  of  the  great  Direct  and  the  training  ground  for  the  I 
far  famed  Pleasanton  string       At    this  place  such    famous  j 
trainers    and   drivers    as    Orrin    A.    Hiekok,  John  Kelly,  ! 
Andy   McDowell,  Miliar!  F.  Sanders,  Wm.    Murray,  Dan  j 
Lawrence,  J.  Sutherland,  J.  Maguire  and  at  least  a  dozen  i 
more  have  secured    stalls  for   tbeir  horses    adjacent  to  the 
track,    where  they  can   haodle    tbeir    horses  for   speed  all 
winter,  and  where  they  can   be  fed  on  the  rich  grasses   that 
grow  without  artificial  irrigation  in  this  great  valley.  There 
are  two  splendid  roads  from  the  ranch  to  Pleasanton.     On 
the  other  .side  of  the  ranch  and  adjoining  it  is  the  celebrated 
Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm,  the  place  where  Steinway,  2:25 4-, 
and  Charles  Derby,  2:20  are  domiciled.     On  this  farm  have 
the  great  pacers  W.  Wood,  2:07,  Diablo,  2:09  K  Free  Coinage, 
2:11$,  Ca>sar,  2:16,  and  at  least  a  dozen  other  famous  horses 
were  bred. 

It  is  strictly  a  horse-breeding  center,  and  as  such  it  should 
attract  the  attention  of  horsemen  everywhere.  It  is  situ- 
ated only  nine  miles  from  Haywards,  and  is  not  more  than 
half  a  mile  from  the  terminus  of  the  San  Ramon  Valley 
railroad.  These  3,000  acres  have  never  been  cultivated 
except  for  the  raising  of  wheat  and  barley,  and  the  immense 
crops  of  these  cereals  hive  made  its  reputation  almost  a 
household  word.  Around  the  few  residences  erected  on  this 
ranch  small  orchard;  and  vineyards  have  been  planted,  and 
in  the  language  of  those  who  have  visited  these  beautiful 
homes,  "  everything  yields  enormous  crops." 

C.  M.  Dougherty,  son  of  the  origioal  owner  of  this  large 
ranch,  has  lived  in  this  portion  of  the  Sao  Kamon  Valley 
since  childhood,  and  will  take  pleasure  in  showing  intending 
purchasers  all  over  this  ground.  It  will  be  sold  as  heretofore 
stated — in  subdivisions — in  each  of  these  a  stream  of  water,  a 
little  rolling  land  and  a  large  piece  of  level  land  will  be 
found.  The  terms  of  sale  ate  most  liberal,  only  one-third  cash, 
the  balance  to  be  paid  in  six  years  at  seven  per  cent,  per 
annum.  As  it  is  only  two  hours'  ride  from  the  city,  and  as 
the  climate,  land  and  surroundings  are  unsurpassed,  there  is 
no  hesitancy  on  our  part  in  recommending  this  valley  for  the 
consideration  of  our  visiting  horsemen.  Even  as  an  invest- 
ment no  properly  will  yield  a  better  income  than  it. 

This  land  is  offered  at  from  £57.50  to $90  50  per  acre,  while 
land  no  bet'.er  than  this  and  immediately  adjoining,  is  selling 
at  $S0  aod$125  per  acre.  Mr.  C.  M.  Dougherty  has  opened 
an  office  at  22  Montgomery  Street  this  city,  and  will  cheer- 
fully furnish  anv  informatson  regarding  this  land  eithor  in 
person  or  by  mail.  We  personally  know  Mr.  Dougherty  to 
be  a  gentleman  of  a  high  sense  of  honor  and  a  man  whose 
word  can  be  relied  upon. 


Occident   Stakes. 


The  attention  of  a  large  number  of  Eastern  horsemen  who 
are  visiting  California  for  the  first  time  is  attracted  to  the 
great  resources  of  our  valleys  and  hillsides,  the  equable  cli- 
mate and  the  many  advantages  this  State  possesses  over  all 
othtr->  for  the  breeding,  developing  and  raising  of  fine  horse-. 
They  have  read  of  this  great  land  by  the  sunset  sea  in  song 
and  story,  and  .have  seen  carload  after  carload  of  well-bred 
coltsand  fillies,  thoroughbreds  and  trotters  consigned  by  Cali- 
fornia breeders  sold  in  the  Eastern  auction  marts  during 
the  past  few  years.  The  excellence  of  every  animal  surprised 
these  Eastern  horsemen  and  they  were  anxious  to  visit  the 
land  from  whence  these  wonderfully  well-developed  young- 
sters were  bred.  To  come  to  the  Coast  seemed  almost  out  of 
the  question  with  them,  but  when  the  Blood  Horse  Association 
offered  liberal  inducements  to  all  Eastern  horsemen  to  come, 
a  large  number  availed  themselves  of  the  opportunity,  and 
now  that  they  are  here  they  are  so  infatuated  with  what  they 
have  seen  that  moat  of  them  have  concluded  to  invest  in  some 
reality  on  the  Coast,  and  already  they  are  seeking  lands  for 
the  establishment  of  stock  farms.  To  these  and  all  others 
who  are  seeking  investments  that  will  prove  profitable  we 
wish  to  call  attention  to  that  beautiful  piece  of  land  known 
as  the  Dougherty  ranch  in  the  famous  tian  Ramon  valley  in 
Contra  Costa  county.  The  owner  of  this  desirable  piece  of 
agricultural  land  has  had  it  surveyed  and  is  now  placing  it 
on  the  market  to  be  sold  in  subdivisions  to  suit  purchasers. 

It  is  the  largest  body  of  land  ever  subdivided  in  small  tracts 
so  near  San  Francisco  and  for  the  purpose  of  raising  horses 
and  stock  of  all  kinds  it  is  unsurpassed  by  any  other  in  the 
United  States.  This  is  a  bold  assertion,  nevertheless,  it  is  a 
true  one. 

The  land  lies  in  a  valley  that  is  well  watered  by  the  Alamo 
creek  and  its  numerous  tributaries.  The  soil  is  of  a  rich  al- 
luvial nature  and  can  produce  wheat,  barly,  fruit  and  vines, 
while  for  the  cultivation  of  alfalfa,  blue  grass  and  Aus 
tralian  rye  grass,  it  is  pronounced  by  the  most  competent  of 
farmers  to  be  far  better  than  the  lands  along  the  Sacramento 
and  San  Joaquiu  rivers.  The  climate  of  this  San  Kamon 
valley  according  to  the  report  of  the  State  Board  of  Horti- 
culture of  the  State  of  California  for  1892  is  suitable  for  the 
raising  of  fine  stock  : 

"Its  situation,  lying  as  it  does  between  the  Golden  Gate 
and  the  great  San  Joaquin  valley,  gives  it  a  medium  climate, 
'   equally  free  from  the  fogs  of  the  ocean  and  from  the  intense 
heat  of  the  exterior  of  California.    Its  mean  annaal  tempera- 
,    ttlre  is  fifty-two  degrees  to  sixty  degrees,  except  in  the  ex- 
treme eastern  portion,  where   it   is  sixty  to  sixty-eight.     Its 
.    western  range  of  hills  protects  it  from  the  cold  winds  that 
sweep  in  from  the  Pacific  during  the  summer  months,  while 
,   the  interior  bays  serve  to  modify  the  heat  of  the  summer  sun. 
'    The  winter  frosts   are   light    and  of  short   duration;    roses, 
1   geraniums  and   other  plants    bloom    throughout  the  winter 
I  season." 

With  such  land  and  with  such   a  climate  is  it  any  wonder 

I   that  this  place  should  be  the  greatest  place  in  California  as  a 

I   center  for  the  raising  of  great  horses.     When  one  comes  to 

j   inspect  this  beautiful  piece  of    land    and  ride   beneath   its 

natural      park      of      live      oaks     or      over      the    gently 

1    rolling  knolls  or  beside  the  never-failing  streams,  any  lover 

I    of  nature  or  judge  of  land  will  at  once  become  enthusiastic 

.   over  its  innumerable    advantages.      Then   when   inquiring 

whether  any  fast  horses  were  ever  bred  and  raised  in  this  sec- 

;  tion,  it  is  only  necessary  to  look  at  the  adjoining  farm,  where 

the  great  Directum,  2:05J,  his  dam,  Stemwinder,  2:30},  and 


Just  Like  His  Ma. 


Gradually  the  tree  springing  from  the  family  of  Black 
Hawk  5  isgrowing  larger.  Neglected  and  almost  forgotten 
branches  put  forth  little  buds  each  spring,  and  at  the  close  of 
the  year  each  one  has  done  something  toward  perpetuating 
the  fame  of  the  old-time  cluster  of  Long  Island  and  New 
York  trotters.  Among  those  having  a  limited  but  somewhat 
interesting  history  is  Wapsie,  an  ungainly,  cock-ankled  son 
of  Bashaw  50.  This  speedy,  but  not  handsome  descendant  of 
Diomed  was  bred  by  Jessie  Bowersock,  a  respected  one-eyed 
Quaker,  of  West  Liberty,  la. 

No  soon  was  Wapsie  foaled  than  his  breeder  began  win- 
ning prospective  races  and  wearing  the  whitewash  off  the  in- 
side rail  of  a  comfortable,  inclosed  winter  track.  Akhough 
we  have  due  reverence  for  William  Peon  and  all  bis  childien 
it  is  undeniably  true  that  Mr.  Bowersock  never  did  anything 
tending  to  check  the  inclination  to  trot  around  the  stove. 
The  two-minute  trotter  had  not  then  been  dreamed  of, 
but  in  his  mind  he  owned  nothing  less  than  the  world's  cham- 
pion. 

He  had  so  much  confidence  in  Wapsie  that  he  took  him 
to  Henry  Hess,  then  at  Muscatine,  to  have  him  trained. 
With  pride  and  exultation  he  portrayed  the  wonderful  speed 
of  Wapsie,  and  consented  to  drive  the  horse  an  exhibition 
mile.  Here  is  where  the  amusement  begun.  Wapsie  might 
have  been  called  good,  but  no  sane  man  would  pronounce 
him  handsome.  He  was  a  duo,  had  a  big  head,  a  black  stipe 
down  his  back,  one  on  his  shoulder,  and  had  leopard  legs,  but 
the  spots  and  stripes  could  not  hide  the  crookedness  of  his 
limbs.  All  the  faults  Mr.  Bowersock  overlooked,  and  with 
unintentionaldisrespect,decIared  Wapsie  was  the  very  picture 
of  his  dam. 

At  last  the  horse  was  started.  The  pair  presented 
rather  a  comical  aypearance,  and  no  one  suspected  the  driver 
of  being  a  lively  rival  of  Budd  Doble.  Tbe  crowd  patiently 
waited  for  them  to  go  the  mile,  which  was  actually  done  in 
the  remarkable  time  of  3:11,  "  with  not  over  three  months' 
work  given  by  an  amateur  trainer."  Xo  one  questioned  the 
importance  of  the  performance.and  Mr.  Bowersock  returned 
home  in  a  happy  state  of  mind,  leaving  the  horse  with  Hess 
o  be  trained. 

Mr.  He;s  discovered  the  horse  was  speedy,  but  his  legs  were 
very  weak.  To  remedy  the  weakness  he  had  tbe  horse  walked 
in  tall  grass  each  morning  while  the  dew  was  heavy.  It 
seemed  to  help  the  horse  and  he  improved.  A  short  time 
later,  in  the  presence  of  John  H.  Wallace,  J.  H.  Bacon  and 
Joe  Green,  Mr.  Hess  drove  Wapsie  a  miie  in  2:43.  A  run- 
ning horse,  owned  by  Mr.  Abbott,  now  of  Omaha,  was  dele- 
gated to  set  the  pace,  but  Wapsie  went  so  fast  00  the  stretch 
that  the  runner  could  not  keep  up  with  him.  There  is  no 
doubt  that  the  horse  was  very  fast,  but  his  Ugs  would  not  en- 
dure the  necessary  training.  He  died  in  1891  with  a  record 
of  2:35. 

A  feature  of  Wapsie's  history  proves  that  if  "unknown 
were  inserted  more  often,  and  "  Morgan  "  or  "  thoroughbred  " 
less  out  of  more  pedigrees,  many  of  them  would  be  less  mis- 
leading. Mr.  Bowersock  never  had  the  slightest  idea  as  to 
how  the  dam  of  Wapsie  was  bred.  He  oocegrew  curious  and 
made  a  thorough  investigation,  but  the  best  he  could  do  was 
to  trace  her  to  an  old,  aide-wheel  ferryboat  in  which  she 
crossed  the  Mississippi  when  brought  from  Ohio.  Beyond 
that  ferryboat  her  pedigree  was  ai  much  a  mystery  as  thege-

DOINGS    IN  DOGDOM. 


Note  our  kennel  advertisements. 


The  6eld  trial  grounds  are  said  to  be  about  seven    miles 
from  Salinas — across  the  river. 


It  is  thought  that  Mr.  McFee's  long-lost  fox-terrier  Le 
Logas  has  been  foand.     We  trust  the  report  is  true. 

We  regret  to  say  that  E.  W.  Briggs,  the  president  of  the 
P.  K.  C,  is  confined  to  the  house  for  a  very  severe  attack  of 
la  grippe. 

Mr.  B.  C.  Hinman,  of  Los  Angeles,  has  a  handsome  litter 
of  pointers  by  Tonner's  Guard  (Bruner's  Nig — Raniona)  out 
of  his  Belle. 

Mr.  H.  H.  Carlton,  of  Alameda,  has  lost  by  death  his  fox- 
terrier  bitch  Nellie  (Chubby — Nancy).  She  was  in  whelp  to 
Desperado  and  nearly  due. 

Mr.  C.  Robertson,  of  Los  Angeles,  has  purchased  a  pointer 
dog  puppy  by  Sargeant  Kent — Amaryllis,  of  Mr.  H.  M. 
Tonner,  of  No.  Ontario,  Cal. 


The  Fanciers'  Journal  has  made  an  assignment  in  favor  of 
its  creditors  to  V.  W.  Haldeman,  the  managing  editor.  It  is 
expected  that  the  paper  will  continue. 

Copies  of  Mr.  C.  A.  Sumner's  autobiography  of  the  fox- 
terrier  Bob  are  for  sale  at  this  office.  Price  $1.50.  This  is 
an  elegant  work  well  worth  the  money. 


Mr.  S.  H.  Laverty,  of  Los  Angeles,  the  owner  of  the  Clum- 
ber spaniel  Lady  Florence,  1st  Denver  1S92  and  1st  Los  An- 
geles, 1893,  is  getting  out  a  new  Clumber  from  the  East. 

The  bench  show  committee  of  the,  P.  K.  C.  are  all  tried 
men  and  will  get  to  work  at  once.  The  election  was  a  slow 
aff:tir.  but  a  better  committee  could  not  have  been  elected. 


Sports  Afield,  the  well-known  sportsman's  monthly,  has 
moved  its  office  from  Denver,  Col.,  to  Chicago,  111.  We  wish 
its  popular  editor,  Mr.  Claude  King,  every  possible  success  in 
his  new  field. 

The  Ponoma  kennels  at  Germantown,  Penn.,  were  burned 
on  January  3d  and  eighteen  valuable  dogs,  King  Charles  and 
Cocker  Spaniels,  Yorkshire  and  other  terriers,  were  burned 
with  the  buildings. 

The  majority  of  the  "regulars"  will  take  the  2:20  p.  m. 
train  at  4th  and  Townsend  streets.  Sunday,  for  Salinas.  The 
headquarters  of  the  Field  Trial  Club  will  be  at  the  well-known 
hostelry,  the  New  Abbott  House.  Free  coach  to  and  from 
all  trains.  

We  understand  that  Mr.  McCracken  has  bred  his  pointer 
bitch  Bella  T.,  which  he  purchased  from  Mr.  Huber  some 
months  ago,  to  Howard  Vernon's  Carmel,  by  Beppo  III.— 
Sally  Brass  II.  This  combination  of  blood  should  certainly 
produce  some  very  fine  puppies. 

Mr  II.  T.  Harris,  the  Irish  etter  breeder  located  at  San 
Jose,  sends  in  a  batch  of  sales,  eight  in  number,  that  we  pub- 
lish in  another  column.  In  a  P.  S.  he  adds  :  "  That  is  very 
good  for  one  month's  advertising  in  the  Breeder  and 
SroRT=MAN.  Don't  you  think  so?"  [We  do  ;  but  many  of 
our  advertisers  report  the  same  result. — Ed. 

Mr.  Gavin  McNab'swell  known  English  mastiff  Ingleside 
Crown  Prince,  by  Champion  Ilford  Chancellor — Madge  Min- 
ting, 1st  at  San  Francisco  1891, 1892  and  1893  is  very  sick. 
It  is  thought  that  he  has  been  poisoned.  This  is  the  best  mas- 
tiff ever  brought  to  this  Coast  and  it  would  indeed  be  a  pity 
should  he  succumb  to  the  vile  act  of  the  poison  fiend. 

The  bench  show  at  Los  Angeles  promises  to  come  out  with 
flying  colors  this  year.  The  classification  as  will  be  seen  by 
the  article  in  another  column  is  a  very  liberal  one.  The 
bench  show  committee  consists  of  the  following  members  all 
workers:  E.  K.  Benchley,  C.  A.  Summer,  T.  E.  Walker,  J.  C. 
Cline,  A.  I'.  Robinson.  F.  W.  Ingalls,  S.  II.  Laverty,  J.  G. 
Borgham  and  II.  M.  Tonner,  and  as  the  committee  is  actively 
at  work  already,  this  should  be  a  goodly  lot  of  specials.  We 
wish  the  club  every  possible  success. 

We  gave  Capt.  McAllister,  of  the  British  ship  Langdale,  a 
call  on  Thursday  last,  and,  by  the  way,  we  have  seen  the 
merchant  vessels  of  several  nations,  but  a  neater  craft  than 
the  Langdale,  both  alow  and  aloft,  we  never  saw.  Our  visit 
to  Green->tni'i  Ahnrf,  however,  was  not  to  view  the  vessel, 
but  a  couple  of  dogs,  something  more  in  our  line.  The  St. 
Bernard  dog  ( iallnway  U  a  very  fair  specimen,  well  marked 
and  of  good  coat  and  color,  though  a  bit  light  in  bone  and 
head.  He  would  make  an  excellent  guard  dog.  II 
lu  be  a  grand  f  I'liiilimmon.     The  other  dog  was  an  Irij.li 

terrier  bitch  ol  ~<.od  color  and  coat  that  would  make  a  good 
brood  bitch/and  hiiould  be  snapped  up  by  some  of  the  fancieis 
that  have  been  talking  Irish  terriers  for  a  year  past. 


Mr.  F.  J.  Walker  will  kindly  accept  our  thanks  for  the 
nicely  dressed  skin  of  the  23-pound  lynx  recently  killed  by 
his  18-pound  foyterrier  bilch  Gyp  (Brockenhurst  Rally — 
Ruby)  at  Lathrop.  This  poor  lynx  has  "been  the  cause  of 
considerable  controversy,  but  the  facts  of  the  case  as  formerly 
stated  are  correct.  Our  foxterrier  friends  can  see  the  skin  at 
any  time  by  calling  at  this  office. 

The  article  in  another  column  to  which  Dr.  Skaife  has  ably 
replied  is  one  of  a  class  of  articles  that  go  the  rounds  of  the 
medical  journals,  and  from  tbem  reach  the  public  press  and 
do  more  harm  than  a  little.  For  instance :  The  "Spitz"  dog 
scare  of  18S0.  People  got  to  actually  believe  that  a  bite  from 
a  Spitz,  even  though  it  be  in  perfect  health,  would  instantly 
cause  rabies,  and  in  New  England  many  scores  of  them  were 
killed  on  sight  by  the  frightened  public.  The  article  in  ques- 
tion is  so  much  on  the  Salem  witchcraft  order  that  we  un- 
hesitatingly call  it  "rot."  Written  by  some  crank  not  deserv- 
ing the  affection  of  the  veriest  mongrel. 

The  judges  of  the  Westminster  Kennel  Club  show  next 
month  will  be:  F.T.  Underbill,  mastiffs  ;  Miss  A.  H.  Whit- 
ney, St.  Bernards,  Newfoundlands  and  pups;  John  Davidson, 
bloodhounds,  Russian  wolfhounds,  greyhounds,  English  re- 
trievers, Irish  and  Gordon  setters,  beagles  and  the  miscella- 
neous class ;  G.  Muss  Arnolt,  Great  Danes,  Bassetthounds  and 
Dachsnuude  ;  Chas.  Heath,  pointers;  Major  J.  M.Taylor, 
English  setters,  American  foxhounds  and  Chesapeake  Bay 
dogs;  A.  C.  Wilmerding.  Irish  Water  ppaniels,  field  and 
Cocker  spaniels ;  Dr.  L.  C.  Saveur,  collies;  Dr.  H.  T.  Foote, 
black  and  tan,  white  English,  toy  terriers  and  Italian  grey- 
hounds; Dr.  M.  H.  Cryer,  poodles,  Irish,  Dandie  Dimnont, 
Scottish  Skye,  Bedlington,  Yorkshire  terriers  and  toy  span- 
iels; R.  F.  Mayhew,  wire-haired  fox  terriers  [and  old  English 
sheepdogs.  Who  the  smooth-faced  foxterrier  man  is  to  be 
does  not  transpire  in  the  report  at  hand.  Louis  Rutherford 
has  been  invited  but  has  not  responded  as  yet.  Several  other 
classes  are  yet  to  be  provided  for. 


In  the  All  Age  the  probable  entries  are  Howard  Vernon's 
pointer  Glenbeigh  (Grouse  V. — Rita),  afield  trial  winner  in 
England.  Karl  E.  Myers'  English  setter  Smoky  (Tennessee 
Bob — Hoosier  Belle),  a  fast,  stylish  worker  that  may  possi- 
bly surprise  us.  T.  J.  Wattson's  English  setter  Sam 
Weller  (Roderigo— Dixie)  A.  P.  Ke.rckhofi°s  Mer- 
cury (also  entered  in  the  Derby).  California  Kennel's 
English  setter  Pelham  (Harold  —  Sunlit),  winner 
of  third  All  Age  1893.  H.  T.  Payne's  English  setter  bitch 
Countess  Noble  (Stanford — Lily  C),  winner  of  second  Derby 
1893.  California  Kennel's  English  setter  bitch  Johanna 
(Gladstone  II — Janet),  winner  of  third  Derby  1893.  Win. 
Schreiber's  pointer  bitch  Francisca  (Rip  Rap — Sal),  and 
Lucinda  (Rip  Rap — Sal).  With  these  sons  and  daughters  of 
Roderigo,  Dan  Gladstone,  Dick  Bondhu  and  Rip  Rap  com- 
peting together,  this  stake  should  prove  very  interesting. 

A  much  larger  attendance  of  local  sportsmen  is  expected 
at  the  trials  this  year  than  ever  before.  The  convenience  of 
the  location  is  undoubtedly  the  principal  cause  and  we  pre- 
dict in  consequence  a  much  greater  interest  another  year  and 
a  corresponding  increase  in  entries. 


The  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club- 


We  heard  a  good  dog  story  the  other  evening.  We  do  not 
vouch  for  every  word  of  it  but  give  it  as  told.  "  In  the  early 
days  an  Irishman,  well-known  about  town,  owned  a  big  dog, 
apparently  a  cross  of  St.  Bernard,  mastiff,  Newfoundland, 
Great  Dane  and  a  few  other  breeds.  He  was  a  very  vicious 
brute  and  very  strong.  His  record  of  having  killed  a  bull  dog 
or  two  was  well  known,  and  his  reputation  so  bad  that  his 
owner  found  it  necessary  to  attach  a  log  chain  to  his  neck 
and  confine  him  to  the  back  yard  of  his  house,  near  the  old, 
South  Park.  In  this  back  yard  was  an  old  style  pump  with 
a  thirty-foot  pipe.  One  night  |his  owner  hitched  the  dog  to 
the  pipe  of  this  pump  close  to  the  planking  below  the  pump 
proper.  During  the  night  the  dog  in  his  frantic  efforts  to  free 
himself  kept  lurching  forward.  Being  very  heavy  and  strong 
and  the  loop  of  the  chain  being  a  bit  loose  he  started  the 
pump  skywards.  At  every  jump  the  pump  came  up  an  inch 
or  two,  and  as  soon  as  the  dog  allowed  the  chain  to  slack,  its 
weight  would  cause  it  to  drop  aDd  take  a  fresh  bight 
on  the  pump  pipe.  In  the  morning  when  the  owner  went 
out  to  get  a  bucket  of  water  for  his  worthy  spouse,  he  found 
the  pump  twenty  feet  in  the  air,  but  ten  feet  of  the  pipe  be- 
ing left  in  the  well." 

The  Field  Trials. 


Among  local  sportsmen  who  train  their  own  dogs  there  is 
a  very  prevalent  opinion  that  the  field  trial  winner  is  worth- 
less for  private  shooting.  No  amount  of  argument  will  con- 
vince them  otherwise.  We  trust  that  a  goodly  number  of 
this  class  of  sportsmen  will  attend  the  trials  next  week  and 
satisfy  themselves  as  to  this  point. 

A  dog  that  ranges  as  wide  as  a  stake  winner  must  do  in 
open  country  is,  possibly,  not  as  desirable  a  hunting  com- 
panion in  the  hills  as  a  closer-ranging  dog  equally  fast,  but 
he  should  be.  The  dog  that  wins  a  public  trial,  if  posssessing 
good  bird  sense  and  proper  training,  will  range  close  when 
necessary.  His  bird  sense  will  tell  him  to  hunt  out  his  ground 
as  he  goes  along  the  hillside  or  up  the  canyon.  He  will  not 
go  bolting  through  good  bird  ground  to  make  a  cast  a  half 
mile  wide,  but  nevertheless  such  is  the  popular  opinion. 
Again  we  say,  come  to  Salinas  and  see  for  yourself. 

The  field  trials  create  a  friendly  rivalry  among  the  breeders 
that  incites  them  to  bring  new  blood  to  the  coast  and  mate 
their  dogs  carefully  that  they  may  breed  winners.  And  to 
them  must  be  given  the  credit  for  the  great  improvement  in 
our  field  dogs,  and  in  a  measure  of  our  bench  winners  as  well. 
The  club  and  their  laudable  object  should  be  encouraged. 
Come  to  Salinas,  mingle  with  the  genial  sportsmen  that  you 
will  find  there,  and  you  will  join  with  the  "  regulars  "  in  pro- 
nouncing the  trials  "  the  event  of  the  year." 

The  Pacific  Coast  Field  Trial  Club  are  particularly  fortun- 
ate in  their  selection  of  judges.  The  three  men  that  will 
officiate  this  year,  Messrs.  R.  T.  Vandervort  of  Pasadena,  D. 
M.  Pyle  of  Bakerstield,  and  Wm.  Dormer  of  Sao  Francisco, 
are  men  of  sterling  integrity,  practical  sportsmen,  and  above 
all  the  public  place  undounded  confidence  in  their  judgment. 
The  field  trial  grounds  are  said  to  be  admirably  adapted  for 
the  purpose  and  the  birds  very  plentifnl.  The  hotel  accom- 
modations are  ample  and  the  rates  reasonable.  The  regular 
trains  for  Salinas  leave  San  Francisco,  Fourth  and  Townsend 
streets,  at  8:15  a.  m.  and  2:20  p.  H.,  arriving  at  Salinas  at 
12:48  and  6:12 P.  m.  respectively. 

We  cannot,  of  course,  give  an  accurate  list  of  the  probable 
entries,  for  the  simple  reason  that  many  who  think  today 
that  they  will  not  enter,  will,  at  the  last  moment,  change  their 
minds  and  vice  versa.  To  the  best  of  our  knowledge  the 
Derby  starters  will  be  Crittenden  Robinson's  black  pointer 
Rex  (Old  Black  Joe  II.— Black  Bess),  whelped  July  11, 
1892;  II.  A.  Bassford's  pointer  Solano  Boy  (Bismarck — 
Queen's  Last)  ;  J.  M.  Bassford's  pointer  Tartarian  (Bismarck 
—Queen's  Last),  whelped  July,  1892;  A.  P.  Kerckhoffs 
English  setter  dog  Mercury  (Dick  Bondhu — Sunlit),  whelped 
January  2G,  1892;  W.  G.  KerckhofTs  English  setter  bitch 
Betsy  Mark  (Gatn'fi  Mark — Ighttield  Sophie),  whelped  Jan. 
21,  1892,  and  R.  K.  Gardiner's  English  setter  dog  Hope's 
Ridge  (Gath's  Hope— Dad's  Girl),  whelped  May  12,  1892. 
The  California  Kennels  have  three  entries,  the  English  set- 
ters Jannetta  (Gladstone  II. — Janet),  Mabel  (Dick  Bondhu  — 
Sunlit)  and  Merry  Monarch  (Mercury — Johanna).  At  least 
one  of  these  will  start  and  possible  all  three.  Mr.  Tonner 
wilt  not  attend  the  trials  and  nine  of  his  entries  will  start, 
and  it  is  not  thought  that  any  of  those  entered  by  the  late  C. 
J.  Miller  will  start. 


The  enthusiasm  of  the  foxterrier  men  and  the  manner  in 
which  they  pull  together  for  the  common  good,  places  the  ap- 
parently dead  St.  Bernard  Club  far  in  the  shade.  At  their 
regular  monthly  meeting  on  Tuesday  evening  at  the  office  of 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  there  were  eleven  members 
present,  President  A.  F.  Baumgartner  in  the  chair.  Secretary 
J.  B.  Martin  read  the  minutes  of  the  last  meeting,  which 
were  approved  as  read.  Treasurer  G.  W.  Debenham  reported 
$81  in  the  treasury.  Mr.  J.  A.  Sargent  of  Sargents,  was 
elected  to  membership  and  Mr.  F.  J.  Walker,  of  Lathrop,  re- 
signed. Mr.  A.  Russell  Crowell  was  elected  an  honorary 
member.  Communications  were  read  from  C.  A.  Sumner  and 
J.  W.  Mitchell  of  Los  Angeles,  suggesting  several  changes  in 
the  conditions  of  the  Sweepstakes  and  Stud  Dog  Stakes,  pro- 
posing a  team  prize  to  be  offered  by  the  club  and  offering  a 
gold  or  silver  medal  to  the  best  brace  of  fox  terriers  owned  by 
a  member  of  the  club,  shown  at  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club's 
Bench  Show,  providing  some  Northern  member  will  offer  a 
similar  prize  at  Los  Angeles, 

On  motion  of  J.  B.  Martin  the  suggestion  to  divide  the 
Sweepstake  into  three  pnrses,  50,  30  and  20  per  cent.,  and  de- 
duct the  c?st  of  advertising  from  the  entire  purse,  was  offered 
as  an  amendment  and  carried. 

The  disposition  of  the  Stud  Dog  Stakes  was  postponed  un- 
til the  next  meeting. 

The  Breeder  asd  Sportsman  was  tendered  a  vote  of 
thanks  for  the  use  of  its  office  as  a  club  room. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Martin  was  tendered  a  vote  of  thanks  for  the  loan 
of  the  English  Fox-Terrier  Stud  Books,  and  the  secretary 
was  ordered  to  purchase  Volumn  IV.  of  the  same.  The  stud 
books  will  be  kept  at  the  club  room  for  the  use  of  members. 

The  pictures  of  D'Orsay  and  Venio  were  offered  the  club 
for  consideration,  the  chosen  one  of  the  two  to  be  used  as  a 
club  emblem — for  letter-heads,  etc.  After  considerable  dis- 
cussion D'Orsay  was  chosen,  and  the  president  appointed  a 
committee  of  one  to  have  an  electro  made  from  the  picture  of 
D'Orsay  in  the  possession  of  the  club. 

The  question  of  offering  a  team  prize  was  laid  over  until 
the  March  meeting. 

It  was  resolved  that  the  following  prizes  be  ofiered  at  the 
coming  shows  at  Los  Angeles  and  San  Francisco,  to  be  com- 
peted for  by  members  of  the  club : 

Special  for  best  dog  or  bitch  at  San  Francisco — The  engrav- 
ing of  D'Orsay  with  suitable  plate  as  per  resolution  adopted 
at  the  last  meeting. 

For  best  dog  over  twelve  months  at  San  Francisco — A  solid 
silver  cup. 

For  best  dog  over  twelve  months  at  Los  Angeles — A  solid 
silver  cup. 

For  best  bitch  over  twelve  months  at  San  Francisco — A 
solid  silver  cup.

The  following  members  were  present :  Messrs.  Baungartner, 
Martin  Debenham,  McLatchie,  Liddle,  Carlton,  Fores,  Mc- 
Fee,  Crowell  and  Gonzales. 

The  next  meeting  of  the  club  will  be  held  on  Tuesday 
evening,  Feb.  13. 


The  Southern  California  K.  C.  Show. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — At  a  meeting  held 
in  Los  Angeles  Tuesday,  January  2d,  the  following  several 
suggestions  were  adopted  by  the  S.  C.  K.  Club : 

That  a  show  be  held  in  Los  Angeles  April  18,  19,  20  and 
21,  1894. 

That  the  entrance  fee  for  St.  Bernards,  Mastiffs,  Great 
Danes,  Newfoundlands  and  similar  large  dogs  be  $3  each  for 
each  class.  For  medium-sized  dogs,  including  bull  terriers, 
$2.50  each,  and  for  fox  terriers  and  other  small  dogs  $2  each. 

That  a  cash  prize  be  offered  of  $5  for  first  and  $3  for  sec- 
ond in  each  class  where  the  entry  is  $3,  provided  there  are 
five  entries  in  the  class,  and  cash  prizes  of  $3  for  first  and  $2 
for  second  in  all  other  classes  where  five  entries  are  made. 

A  cash  prize  wilt  also  be  offered  of  $500  for  a  kennel  prize 
in  all  breeds.  A  kennel  to  consist  of  four  or  more  dogs,  re- 
gardless of  age  or  sex.

first  and  second  prizes  where  there  are  not  five  entries 
made. 

No  commission  will  be  charged  on  sale  of  dogs. 

It  is  hoped  that  a  good  money  prize  can  be  collected  to  of- 
fer to  the  handler  of  the  largest  number  of  dogs  not  owned  in 
the  State.     Yours  truly,        C.  A.  Scmner,  Sec.  S.  C.  K.  C.

Misleading  to  Dog  Owners. 


The  following  article  taken  from  a  well-known  medical 
journal  was  handed  to  us  by  Dr.  Skaife,  the  well-known  local 
specialist  in  canine  diseases.  We  think  it  should  be  repub- 
isbed,  as  articles  of  this  nature  are  very  misleading  and 
cause  great  uneasiness  among  lovers  of  the  lower  animals. 
"  Under  the  heading,  "  Beast  to  Beast"  the  Medical  Journal 
calls  attention  to  the  danger  of  contracting  the  serious  diseases, 
diphtheria  and  hydatis,  catching  the  former  from  pigeons,  and 
the  latter  from  dogs,  by  the  habit  which  many  have  of  kiss- 
ing these  animals  when  fondling  them  as  pets.  The  writer 
has  not  infrequently  seen  an  aristocratic  lady,  whose  exquis- 
ite toilet  indicated  that  she  doubtless  belonged  to  some  weal- 
thy family,  complacently  allowing  her  cheeks  and  even 
mouth  to  be  rubbed  by  the  nose  and  licked  by  the  tongue  of  a 
lap-dog  that  was  treated  with  all  the  gentleness  and  caressed 
with  all  the  fondness  which  the  tenderest  mother  would  mani- 
felt  toward  an  infant.  The  good  woman  was  doubtless  in 
blissful  ignorance  of  the  fact  that  her  canine  fondling  might, 
at  every  lap  of  his  little  tongue,  be  planting  upon  her  face 
and  lips  the  eggs  of  a  hideous  parasite  which  might  thence 
be  easily  transferred  to  her  interior,  and  there,  after  hatch- 
ing out  and  developing  to  a  higher  stage,  work  their  way  in- 
to the  liver,  lungs  and  muscles,  even  to  the  brain,  and  there 
form  cysts  and  sacs,  which  in  time  might  develop  to  such  pro- 
digious size  as  to  result  in  dropsy  and  even  in  death. 

■*  Pet  cats  are  now  recognized  by  skin  specialists  as  being  a 
common  source  of  ringworm  and  favus,  two  very  obstinate 
and  loathsome  diseases  of  the  skin.  Favus  is  supposed  to 
originate  in  mice.  Cats,  in  catching  mice,  themselves  catch 
the  disease  and  communicate  it  to  those  who  fondle  them. 

"In  times  when  diphtheria  and  scarlet  fever  are  prevailing, 
the  house-cat  must  be  regarded  as  a  constant  source  of  dan- 
ger. Cats  not  infrequently  make  visits  to  other  families, 
neighbors,  with  the  children  of  whom  it  has  become  ac- 
quainted, or  perhaps  makes  a  social  cat-call  upon  some  neigh- 
boring cat ;  and  iu  case  the  house  visited  is  infected  with 
diphtheria  or  scarlet  fever,  there  is  necessarily  exposure  of 
the  animal  to  the  disease.  Cases  have  occurred  in  which  the 
origin  of  a  fatal  attack  of  scarlet  fever  or  diphtheria  oould  be 
directly  traced  to  the  family  cat  as  the  means  by  which  the 
contagion  was  conveyed  from  the  infected  family  to  the  little 
ones  of  a  household,  which,  in  careful  seclusion  and  fancied 
security,  was  thus  taken  unawares  by  the  dreaded  malady. 

"  House-dogs  may  be  also  regarded  as  in  no  small  degree 
dangerous.  The  habit  of  dogs  wandering  about  the  neighbor- 
hood visiting  other  dogs  and  engaging  now  and  then  in  com- 
bat with  other  belligerent  canines,  exposes  the  household 
constantly  to  the  invasion  of  microbes  of  a  dangerous  charac- 
"  ter.  Dogs  are  not  by  any  means  very  cleanly  in  their  dietetic 
habits  ;  it  is  not  an  uncommon  thing  to  see  even  a  well-bred 
dog  dragging  home  a  bone  with  a  mass  of  carrion  attached, 
in  which  germs  of  many  sorts  are  holding  high  carnival.  It 
is  doubtful  whether  pets  of  any  sort,  especially  household  pets 
belonging  to  the  brute  creation,  should  be  tolerated  unless 
kept  caged.  If  a  watch-dog  is  considered  necessary  or  de- 
sirable, the  animal  should  be  housed  out  of  doors,  and  should 
never  be  admitted  to  terms  of  too  great  familiarity  with  mem- 
bers of  the  family.  Many  a  child  has  lost  its  life  through  in- 
fection from  a  kitten  or  some  other  household  pet. 
Dr.  Skaife's  reply  to  the  above  article  follows  : 
Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Will  you  allow  me 
to  answer  the  above  article  in  your  columns?  I  think  the 
subject  is  treated  in  a  most  foolish  manner,  and  to  people  who 
are  lovers  of  the  lower  animals,  very  misleading. 

The  arguments  used  are  simply  absurb  exaggerations  of  the 
truth.  As  well  might  a  man  say  "  I  will  never  go  out  into  the 
street  again  because  Smith  was  killed  by  a  run-away  horse" 
as  say  "I  shall  keep  uo  more  animals  because  1  might  con- 
tract diphtheria  or  hydatis  from  them." 

Hydatis  is  extremely  rare  in  the  canine  or  feline  races  and 
diphtheria  only  recognized  by  one  or  two  writers  in  canine 
medicine.  One  would  be  led  to  believe  that  the  parasite,  in 
the  former  disease,  is  of  every  day  occurrence,  by  the  writer 
of  this  article.  It  is  so  rare  that  one  might  as  well  say  "  You 
should  never  allow  an  animal  to  lick  your  face  because  be 
might,  a  few  minutes  before,  have  been  eating  poison  and 
some  of  it  might  be  transferred  to  your  mouth. 

As  for  diphtheria — well,  as  yet  it  has  hardly  been  recog- 
nized among  canine  diseases,  therefore  the  danger  lies  en- 
tirely in  your  animals  visiting  or  making  "  cat-calls,"  as  the 
writer  in  question  so  humorously  puts  it.  Can  anything  be 
more  absurb,  or  rather,  could  anything  be  more  exaggerated 
than  the  supersition  that  disease  is  spread  in  this  manner? 
Of  course  such  a  thing  were  possible,  but  why  take  such  ex- 
tremes for  arguments  and  thereby  cause  uneasiness  when  it  is 
entirely  unnecessary. 

A  cat  goes  oat  at  night  and  meets  her  fiance,  who  the 
writer  says  may  have  come  from  an  infected  house,  and  in 
walking  home  with  her  he  retains  some  of  the  contagion, 
which  is  disseminated  throughout  the  household  the  next 
day. 

If  disease  is  spread  in  this  manner  in  one  case  of  diphthe- 
ria in  every  hundred  thousand,  then  have  we  any  right  to  de- 
prive ourselves  of  the  pleasure  of  owning  domestic  pets  ?  If 
these  contagious  diseases  existed  in  one  out  of  every  twelve 
houses  about  us,  and  everybody  kept  a  dozen  or  two  cats  and 
dogs,  then  it  might  be  worth  while  preventing  our  animals 
from  having  "  assemblies"  with  the  cats  and  dogs  in  their 
set." 

Regarding  favus,  let  me  say  that  in  about  a  dozen  cases 
that  I  have  treated  not  one  caused  any  inconvenience  to  the 
owners  who,  in  several  instances,  had  treated  the  disease  fully 
a  week  before  I  was  called  upon  to  take  the  cases. 

Again,  on  questioning  a  skin  specialist  here,  a  man  who 
stands  very  high  iu  the  profession,  he  said :  "I  have  had 
but  two  cases  of  ringworm  or  favus  that  were  traceable  to 
contagion  from  the  lower  animals,  in  ten  years'  practice." 

If  this  be  taken  as  an  average,  I  think  we  need  not  fear  the 
frequent  occurrence  of  ringworm  among  our  children. 

The  last  argament  is  perhaps  the  most  puerile,  Fancy! 
Saying  that  a  dog  making  visits  and  engaging  in  combats 
"exposes  the  household  constantly  to  the  invasion  of  mi- 
crobes of  a  dangerous  character." 

The  writer  is  so  sensible  in  his  argument?  that  he  ought  to 
say  :  "  What  is  to  prevent  a  big  Newfoundland  dog  entering 
a  house,  going  upstairs  unawares,  stealing  the  baby  fresh  from 
a  bed  of  scarlet  fever  and  carrying  it  back  to  his  own  quar- 
ters," thus  exposing  the  household,"  etc. 

If  the  writer  of  this  article  knows  anything  at  all  of  conta- 
gion he  understands  how  very  much  at  sea  the  whole  medical 
world  is  just  at  present  over  the  subject  of  infection  and  conta- 
gion. 
It  is  true  that  contagion  is  something  which  is  known  to  ex- 


ist; also,  that  certain  germs  are  peculiar  to  certain  diseases, 
but  to  have  contagion  as  you  trace  a  leak  in  a  pipe  is  very 
absurd.  In  fact  it  is  well  known  that  many  scientific  men 
still  hold  the  view  that  germs  are  the  result  and  not  the  cause 
of  many  diseases.  If  I  have  iu  any  way  shown  that  "  fond- 
ling pretty  animals"  is  unattended  by  any  great  risks  to  the 
owneis  of  the  same,  I  am  amply  rewarded  by  the  small  amount 
of  trouble  it  has  taken  to  answer  this  article.

San  Francisco,  January,  1S94. 


Oregon  vs.  Portland. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — My  attention  has 
been  called  to  items  at  various  times  in  your  paper  in  regard 
to  the  two  kennel  clubs  in  this  city,  also  a  communication 
published  by  you  September  23,  1S93,  from  D.  L.  Williams 
of  this  city,  bearing  on  the  same  subject. 

It  is  but  natural  that  having  but  the  ex  par (e  statement  of 
this  man  Williams  you  should  be  somewhat  misled  as  to  the 
true  status  of  the  case.  With  your  permission  I  will  give  you 
the  other  side,  and,  as  you  will  learn  later,  the  correct  side  : 
On  April  13,  1893,  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  was  organized 
on  public  call  made  in  this  paper.  Permanent  organuation 
was  eflected  on  that  evening,  and  Mr.  D.  L.  Williams  took 
part  in  all  the  proceedings,  and  was  elected  to  the  office  of 
financial  secretary,  accepted  same  and  accepted  the  funds  of 
the  club.  The  next  day,  the  14th  of  April,  1893,  Mr.  Wil- 
liams, dissatisfied  because  he  had  not  been  made  the  record- 
ing secretary  of  the  Oregon  Eennel  Club,  by  false  representa- 
tions to  a  few  other  gentlemen,  succeeded  in  persuading  them 
to  take  steps  to  organize  another  club,  to  cut  out  the  O.  K.  C. 
if  possible,  and  secure  a  charter  from  the  American  Keanel 
Club  for  a  club  which  should  be  subservient  to  his  wishes, 
and  make  him  its  recording  secretary.  He  came  to  my  office 
and  borrowed  the  constitution  and  by-laws  of  the  Oregon 
Kennel  Club,  which  he  kept  a  few  hours — long  enough  to 
make  a  copy.  He  then,  accompanied  by  a  gentleman  (whom 
he  had  by  false  statements  induced  to  join  him,  and  who, 
since  learning  the  truth,  has  refused  to  have  anything  more 
to  do  with  him),  went  to  the  telegraph  office  and  wired  the 
secretary  of  the  A.  K.  C.  that  the  application  of  the  "  Port- 
land" Kennel  Club  was  in  mail. 

This  was  the  organization  of  the  "Portland"  Kennel 
Club. 

The  application  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  was  made  in 
due  form,  and  the  A.  K.  C,  undecided  as  to  which  club  was 
entitled  to  the  charter,  called  for  affidavits  from  each  club  as 
to  date  of  organization. 

Here  was  the  golden  opportunity  !  Here  was  the  chance 
to  settle  the  matter  by  one  simple,  little  false  statement.  The 
opportunity  was  grasped,  and  some  one,  made  affidavit  that 
the  Portland  Kennel  Club  was  organized  on  April  10,  1893, 
with  sixteen  members.  A  statement  which  the  Oregon  Ken- 
nel Club  propose  to  prove  is  false,  and  only  ask  that  a  full  in- 
vestigation be  made.  I  should  have  been  glad  could  this 
matter  have  been  settled  by  the  A.  K.  C.  without  any  per- 
sonal attacks  or  newspaper  controversy,  but  as  this  man 
Williams  has  made  a  personal  attack  upon  this  paper  and 
members  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club  in  your  paper  it  will, 
perhaps,  be  well  to  ask,  who  is  this  man  D.  L.  Williams, 
who  arrogates  to  himself  and  associates  all  the  virtues  of  this 
mundane  sphere,  and  speaks  sneeringly  of  men  far  better 
than  he? 

With  your  permission  I  will  say  that  he  is  *  *  * 
an  expelled  member  of  the  Oregon  Kennel  Club,  who  now 
emerges  from  behind  much  better  men,  whom  he  has  been  us- 
ing, to  assume  the  position  of  recording  secretary  of  the  Port- 
land Kennel  Club  and  tells  what  a  fine  class  of  gentlemen 
compose  that  club  and  what  a  lot  of  scrubs  compose  the  Ore- 
gon Kennel  Club,  which  incontinently  kicked  him  out  for  un- 
derhand practices.     Very  respectfully, 

Fred  A.  Dcnhajt, 
Ed.  and  Propr.  N.  W.  Sportsman. 
[We  have  omitted  the  personal  portion  of  the  above  letter 
and  regret  that  the  strife  between  the  clubs  compels  us  to  pub- 
lish the  matter  at  all.  If  the  above  are  the  true  facts  of  the 
case  the  Oregen  Kennel  Club  certainly  has  the  right  of  way 
and  unquestionably  will  be  given  such,  when  the  matter  is 
brought  before  the  American  Kennel  Club.  The  same  class 
of  men  will  creep  into  the  kennel  world  that  disgrace  every 
other  social  and  business  organization  on  earth.  The  only 
way  to  keep  such  men  down,  is  to  publish  their  short -com- 
ings. Mr.  Dunham,  in  the  portion  of  bis  letter  that  we  have 
omitted,  gives  Mr.  Williams  any  thing  but  a  good  name,  but 
the  accusations  are  not  of  such  a  nature  as  would  make  it  im- 
perative that  we  should  publish  them.  It  is  evident  on  the 
face  of  it  that  some  one  has  been  executing  some  crooked 
business.  The  someone,  whoever  it  may  be,  will  be  discov- 
ered by  the  American  Kennel  Club,  and  exposed  by  them, 
until  such  time  we  will  remain  neutral. — Ed. J 


Bulldogs. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  :  I  believe  I  saw  the 
mention  of  a  dog  belonging  to  Mr.  Mariner  (of  Milwaukee) 
being  poisoned,  but  until  I  caught  it  iD  your  paper,  I  had 
overlooked  the  fact  that  the  victim  was  my  dear  old  friend, 
the  bulldog  Harper.  You  are  quite  correct  in  bearing  wit- 
ness to  his  excellent  disposition,  but  perhaps  hardly  went  far 
enough.  I  remember  him  at  one  Boston  show  where  the 
blind  children  had  come  to  "see"  the  dogs,  and  were  seated 
in  a  row  in  the  ring,  when  a  teacher  saw  Harper  and  called 
him,  when  he  rushed  up,  jumped  into  the  nearest  lap  and 
proceeded  to  perambulate  the  line  of  sitters  with  frequent 
stops  to  be  petted,  and  often  to  lick  an  unguarded  face.  He 
was  always  good-tempered,  but  with  those  blind  children  he 
really  seemed  conscions  of  their  condition  and  laid  himself 
out  to  please  them.  Another  most  noble  dog  is  the  later  im- 
portation, the  bulldog  His  Lordship.  I  also  saw  him  in  an 
aisle  at  a  Boston  show  with  a  crowd  of  blind  children  around 
him,  and  he  was  even  more  delighted  than  Harper.  He  was 
so  hidden  by  children  that  I  could  only  see  the  top  of  Frank 
Dole's  ha',  and  occasionally  a  stray  bit  of  bulldog  in  the  most 
excited  delight.  I  really  believe  the  editor  of  the  Stock- 
Keeper  was  correct  in  saying  (from  personal  knowledge  of 
the  dog)  that  he  derived  delight  from  knowing  he  was  giving 
it. 

While  I  am  a  mastiff-man,  first,  last  and  all  the  time,  I 
hope  I  have  eyes  to  see  the  truth  about  either  breeds,  and  it 
is  my  conviction,  that  taken  as  a  lot,  bulldogs  are  rather  the 
most  affectionate  breed  going,  certainly  none  are  more  trust- 
worthy, for  the  way  Harper  stood  the  pullings  and  haulings 
of  those  children,  and  was  undaunted  by  his  falls  from  their 
lap  to  the  floor,  proved  the  highest  degree  of  amiability.  I 
generally  took  charge  of  those  blind  children  at  Boston,  and 
always  made  the  bulldogs  a  principal  feature,  knowing  that 
they  were  safe  and  would  stand  more  pulling  and  hauling 
from  the  children  than  any  other  lot  of  dogs  in  the  show.  I 
will  never  forget  how  one  young  fellow  at  a  show  (also  a 
Boston  one)  with  his  best  girl,  moved  down  the  able  past  the 
bulldogs,  keeping  on  the  extreme  other  side  of  it,  as  far  away 
from  "  those  dreadful  bulldogs  !  "  as  possible,  and  safely  past 
them,  went  up  to  a  poodle  with  an  air  of  security,  and  was 
bitten  for  his  pains  !  There  wasn't  a  bulldog  in  the  show  that 
he  could  not  have  handled  with  impunity. 

Of  course  1  don't  advise  that  a  visitor  go  up  to  any  dog, 
without  a  reasonable  introduction.  If  you  rouse  up  a  sleep- 
ing and  tired  dog  he  may  soap,  be  be  ever  so  good-tempered, 
but  if  a  bulldog  wags  his  tail  or  at  all  accepts  your  advances, 
then  you  are  perfectly  safe  in  petting  him  to  your  heart's 
content.  For  a  plaything  for  children,  the  bulldog  is  un- 
eqnaled;  mastiffs  are  amiable  and  trustworthy,  but  their  size 
is  an  objection  with  small  children,  a  wag  of  a  mastiffs  tail 
is  sufficient  to  knock  a  small  child  down,  while  the  bulldog 
is  just  the  right  6ize  for  a  companion  for  children  and  most 
vigilant  and  valient  guards  they  generally  are.  Yours 
truly,  *  W.  Wade.

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — In  early  times  in 
California,  the  good  offices  of  peacemaker  maker  were  in 
frequent  requisition.  Later,  in  the  new  States  and  territories 
on  the  frontier,  I  have  seen  many  belligerents  separated, 
and  probable  blood -shed  averted,  by  the  timely  intervention 
of  kindly-disposed  friends  of  one  or  both  of  the  contending 
parties.  But  I  never  saw  a  dog  enacting  that  rule  until  last 
Christmas  Day.  One  could  almost  fancy  that  the  prevailing 
spirit  of  the  day — "  peace  on  earth,  good  will  to  man  "  had 
extended  to  the  animal  kingdom — I  was  driving  along  Thirty- 
fifth  street  in  Oakland,  in  company  with  my  son,  when  our 
attention  wasattracted  to  two  roosters  in  an  open  lot  just  be- 
yond a  dwelling,  engaged  in  a  fierce  conflict.  When  we  came 
the  house,  a  large  dog,  evidently  of  the  pointer  breed,  came 
bouncing  over  the  fence  in  front  of  the  house,  and  ran  straight 
at  the  fighting  fowls.  "We  expected  to  see  "the  feathers  fly,' ' 
as  we  naturally  thought  that  he  would  seize  one  of  them  in 
his  month  and  shake  and  tear  it.  But  to  our  surprise  he  ran 
between  them  in  such  away  as  to  strike  both  with  considera- 
ble force,  knocking  one  to  the  right  and  one  to  the  left.  His 
momentum  carried  him  about  a  rod  beyond  them,  before  he 
stopped  and  turned  around. 

Byron  sings  "  True  foes,  once  met,  are  joined  till  death." 
So  before  the  peacemaker  had  got  faced  about,  the  battle  had 
again  joined,  and  was  waging  more  fiercely  than  ever.  How- 
ever the  dog  was  just  as  determined  in  his  purpose,  and  as 
soon  as  he  saw  that  they  were  engaged  again,  he  charged  once 
more  effectually  as  he  struck  them  with  so  much  force, 
knocking  them  so  far  apart  that  they  decided  to  seek  the 
more  gentle  associations  of  peace;  to  hunt  the  nutritious 
seed,  or  the  festive  bug,  satisfying  the  cravings  of  au  ever- 
pressing  appetite.  As  to  our  hero — he  discovered  in  a 
moment  that  his  mission  was  ended,  and  with  the  appearance 
of  enjoying  the  satisfaction  which  always  accompanies  the 
performance  of  a  good  deed,  went  quietly  and  unostentatiously 
back  to  his  home.

Pacific  Kennel  Club. 


The  special  meeting  of  the  local  kennel  club  on  January 
10th  brought  out  sixteen  members,  when  there  should  have 
been  fifty.  The  members  present  were  L.  D.  Owens,  Thos. 
Higgs,  E.  H.  Wakeman,  T.  J.  Wattson,  H.  Orear,  C.  A. 
Haight,  A.  Russell  Crowell,  E.  H.  Williams,  J.  H.  Sammi, 
H.  T.  Payne,  L.  L.  Campbell,  G.  W.  Howe,  J.  H.  Wohler, 
Chas.  Dresser,  Jas.  Sanderson  and  Wm.  Schreiber. 

In  the  absence  of  President  Briggs,  Mr.  E.  H.  Wakeman 
occupied  the  chair.  The  meeting  was  about  the  dullest  and 
mo->t  stupid  affair  that  the  writer  ever  attended.  No  one 
wanted  to  nominate  anyone,  and  no  one  wanted  to  act.  Some 
did  not  vote  at  all,  and  some  of  those  that  voted  only  voted 
for  three  of  the  five  necessary. 

The  nominations  were  n.  W.  Orear,  T.  J.  Wattson,  C.  A. 
Haight,  Thos.  Higgs,  Howard  Vernon,  E.  H.  Wakeman,  H. 
Bier  and  J.  B.  Martin.  The  bench  show  committee  elected 
for  1894  are  the  same  as  last  year,  with  the  exception  of  H. 
Orear.  The  committee  are  T.  J.  Wattson,  C.  A.  Haight, 
Horace  Orear,  J.  B.  Martin  and  Thos.  Higgs,  the  president 
being  of  course  an  ex-officio  member.

THE    GUN. 

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


Flobert,  the  inventor  of  the  Flobert  rifle,  died  in  Paris 
recently. 

Wild  swan  are  quite  plentiful  in  Oregon  at  present 
/rriting.  

Mr;  Wolfe,  of  this  city,  shot  twenty-two  teal  at  San  Pablo 
last  week.  

Mr.  C.  Cate  mc.de  a  fine  bag  at  Mowry's  on  Sunday — wid- 
geon, teal  and  snipe. 

Mr.  Win.  Murdoch  made  a  nice  bag  of  42  spoonbills,  teal, 
etc.,  at  Ignacio,  Sunday. 

Mr.  John  O'Farrell  of  San  Francisco  bagged  17  canvas- 
backs  at  Teal  Station  Sunday. 


The  frost  brought  back  quile  a  number  of  teal  and  spoon- 
bills, and  the  shooting  was  quite  good  on  all  the  near-by 
marshes  the  first  of  the  week. 

Capt.  W.  J.  Riley,  the  Portland  sporting  goods  dealer,  re- 
turned last  week  from  a  hunting  trip, with  two  tine  buck  elk. 
He  is  having  the  skin  of  one  ot  them  mounted. 

Mr.  Wm.  A.  Seaver  and  a  friend  bagged  eighteen  teal  and 
spoonbills  at  San  Pablo  on  Saturday  last.  The  weather  was 
ail  that  could  be  desired,  and  the  birds  flew  very  well  for  a 
coaple  of  hours.  

A  Mr.  Hill,  of  this  city,  with  the  help  of  a  few  friends, 
caught  a  large  octopus  at  Monterey  on  Monday  last.  The 
SDecimen  is  10  feet  7  inches  in  length,  the  longest  of  the  arms 
being  seven  feet  in  length.    The  head  is  19  inches  thick. 

Messrs.  Robert  Liddle,  H.  Schroeder  and  Chas.  Lainer  en- 
joyed a  pleasant  shoot  at  Joe  Dieves'  three-mile  house  on 
Sunday  last.  A  dozen  birds  each  were  shot  at  in  the  main 
event.  Mr.  Lainer  scored  10,  Schroeder  8,  Liddie  8  and 
Dieves  6.  

Messrs.  Crittenden  Robinson,  David  Thorn  and  Wm.  Dor- 
mer held  a  black  pointer  party  at  Point  Reyes  on  Sunday 
last,  but  the  rain  spoiled  the  quail  shooting,  and  the  time  was 
pleasantly  passed  spinning  yarns  in  close  companionship  with 
a  warm  fire.  

The  sad  accident  that  befell  Mr.  John  Schubert  on  Sunday 
last  at  Reclamation,  cast  a  gloom  over  the  duck  hunters  of 
that  section  that  will  not  be  entirely  dispelled  this  season. 
Mr.  Campbell  found  the  unfortunate  sportsman  in  the  bottom 
of  his  boat  quite  dead.  Apparently  he  had  been  pulling  his 
skiff  over  the  mud  and  in  reaching  for  his  gun  had  pulled  the 
hammers  over  the  thwart  and  discharged  Jit,  the  charge  en- 
tering his  thigh  and  passing  upward  into  his  body,  must  have 
killed  him  instantly.  He  was  but  twenty-four  years  old  and 
leaves  a  young  wife  to  mourn  his  loss. 

We  wish  to  warn  all  sportsmen  against  shooting  over  the 
upper  San  Pablo  marsh.  The  marsh  has  been  posted  and 
four  trespassers  were  arrested  this  week.  It  remains  to  be  seen 
whether  the  courts  will  consider  the  old  low  broken  levee  an 
enclosurejor  not.  At  all  events  the  marsh  has  been  leased 
and  will  be  preserved  and  no  true  sportsman  will  interfere 
with  another  man's  property.  Shooting  on  the  tule  islands 
and  outside  of  the  levee  caunot  be  stopped  as  it  is  not  en- 
closed. Another  season  the  marsh  will  be  enclosed  and  city 
duck  shooters  can  bid  good-bye  to  one  of  the  best  shooting 
grounds  in  the  vicinity  of  San  Francisco. 


Duck  Shooting  on  San  Pablo  Bay. 


Editor.  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — One  week  ago  last 
Friday,  while  making  a  business  call  at  Skinker  &  Haignt's 
Dupont  powder  agency,  in  this  city,  I  met  a  friend  whom  I 
will  call  "Will,"  and  asked  him  to  accompany  me  to  San 
Pablo  for  a  duck  shot.  Will  was  nothing  loth  and  thought 
that  possibly  he  could  prevail  upon  his  people  to  allow  him 
*  day  off  on  the  morrow,  and  with  a  promise  to  call  around 
at  three  o'clock  for  his  answer,  I  departed. 

Before  twelve  o'clock,  a  ring  at  the  telephone  aroused  me 
from  a  reverie,  and  on  placing  the  handphone  to  my  ear  I 
was  greeted  with  a  "hello,"  in  Will's  well-known  voice,  "I 
thought*!  would  ring  you  up  and  tell  you  that  I  can  go  with 
you  to  San  Pablo  to-morrow,"  came  over  the  wire.  "All  right, 
that's  good,"  was  my  reply.  "Meet  me  at  eight  o'clock  at 
the  Sixteenth  St.  station,  Oakland,  rain  or  shine.  "All  right, 
bring  along  plenty  of  ammunition.  You  know  I  am  apt  to 
blaze  away  at  skyscrapers  and  may  want  to  borrow  some  of 
your  ammunition."     "All  right,  good  bye." 

The  7:50  a.  m.  train  at  Oakland  pier,  Saturday  morning, 
found  me  snugly  ensconced  in  the  smoker,  near  the  stove  and 
my  cocker  spaniel  stowed  away  in  the  baggage  car,  for  it  was 
a  frosty,  chilly  morning  for  California.  AtSixteenth  street 
I  was  joined  by  Will,  bundled  in  a  great  coat  that  reminded 
me  of  an  Iowa  blizzard. 

A  short  half-hour's  ride  and  we  were  at  our  destination.  A 
ten-minutes  walk  brought  us  to  the  ranch  of  the  McCracken 
Bros.,  a  genial  lot  of  boys  as  one  meeU  in  a  lifetime.  It  is  a 
bachelor  hall  at  present,  but  George,  the  younger,  is  a  first- 
class  cook,  and  the  meal  that  always  graces  the  table  on  our 
return  to  the  ranche  after  a  day  on  the  marsh  would  do  cred- 
it to  the  best  housewife  in  San  Francisco.  We  found  Mace 
and  Austin,  the  two  older  brothers,  busy  pruning  the  orchard 
and  too  busy  to  join  us  on  the  marsh,  but  we  were  given  a 
hearty  welcome  nevertheless,  and  after  disposing  of  our  super- 
fluous clothing,  tilling  our  water  canteens  and  taking  from 
Austin  our  fair  share  of  bantering,  such  as"What,you  haven't 
brought  along  that  blessed  dog  again,  thought  you  was  going 
to  kill  him."  "You  don't  expect  togtt  any  ducks  with  that 
gun,  etc.,"  we  started  for  the  marsh. 

The  boat  was  at  her  moorings  and  at  10  o'clock  we  were 
all  aboard  with  decoys,  lunch  and  dog  in  their  proper  places. 
The  writer  look  the  oars,  Will,  the  stern  thwart  and  the 
cocker  the  lookout  forward.  A  half-hour's  row  against  the 
ide  and  we  were  at  the  western  end  of  Tule  island  with  the 
decoys  anchored  near  a  projecting  point  of  tules  and  our  boat 
nicely  anchored. 

On  the  way  down  the  creek  Will  blazed  away  at  a  shell- 
'lr-\ke  in  the  water  the  shot  was  well  directed,  but  the  wary 
bird  was  under  thewaier  before  the  Bhot  reached  him.  When 
k- ceme  up  again   the  oars,  were  Viipped,  and  my   Smith 


brought  him  to  bag.  We  had  scarcely  got  nicely  settled  in 
our  blind  when  five  teal  came  over  our  heads.  I  quick  right 
and  a  long  left  brought  a  pair  to  the  credit  of  the  writer,  but 
they  dropped  far  out,  aud  as  the  tide  was  fast  carrying  them 
away  the  boat  was  run  out  and  a  short  row  brought  the  far- 
thest one  out,  to  bag.  The  husy  little  spaniel  had  in  the 
meantime  secured  the  first  one,  and  was  following  the  boat. 
Will  grabbed  his  collar  and  yanked  him  in,  without  my  miss 
iog  a  stroke,  but  we  did  not  get  back  quick  enough  to  avoid 
frightening  a  pair  of  spoon  bills  that  dipped  to  the  decoys. 
The  wind  was  very  light,  and  we  had  not  anticipated  much  of 
a  shoot,  but  the  birds  kept  coming  out  of  the  marsh  in  pairs, 
singles  and  small  flocks. 

The  next  to  decoy  was  another  small  bunch  of  teal.  Will 
fired  both  barrels  and  the  writer  ditto  as  they  came  straight 
in  toward  us,  but  a  bit  high  up.  To  our  disgust  they  sailed 
away  apparently  unharmed,  but  no  !  one  drops  from  the 
bunch,  and  with  that  peculiar  wobbling  motion  that  indicates 
a  mortally  wounded  bird  he  sinkslower  and  lower  and  finally 
gives  it  up  and  comes  down  all  in  a  heap  full  three  hundred 
yards  from  us  in  the  tules.  Thinking  I  could  wade  to  him  I 
sent  on  the  dog  and  followed,  when  suddenly  the  marsh 
seemed  to  sink  under  me  and  a  bucketful  of  ice-cold  water 
pouring  into  my  bootlegs  reminded  me  that  I  had  urgent 
business  in  the  boat.  The  spaniel  seeks  dead  for  a  few  min- 
utes but  returns  without  the  bird. 

The  next  inquisitive  duck  was  a  butterball  who  was 
knocked  over  very  uncermoniously  by  Will's  Colt.  The  cocker 
retreived  it  in  fine  style.  He  was  scarcely  in  the  boat  again 
when  a  flock  of  spoonbills  came  around  the  point  from  the 
bay,  an  unexpected  quarter,  but  four  barrels  belched  forth 
their  fire  nevertheless  A  few  feathers  float  away  from  one  of 
them  but  the  flock  had  business  elsewhere  and  did  not  respond 
to  the  call  to  stop  with  us.  Before  we  were  recovered  from 
our  astonishment  a  copper  head  skips  across  the  decoys  from 
heaven  knows  where.  We  were  not  ready  and  he  went  by 
without  even  a  salute.  A  flock  of  cans  came  iu  from  the  bay. 
"Hush,  keep  low,"  but  no,  the  miscellaneous  collection  of 
decoys  are  not  to  their  liking  and  they  shy  off.  While  watch- 
ing them  a  flock  of  spoonbills  pass  us  on  the  other  side  un- 
harmed. A  pair  of  teal  were  the  next,  high  up,  but  the 
Smith  turns  one  with  the  first  barrel  and  brings  a  small 
cloud  of  feathers  with  the  second  but  the  bird  goes  on, 
doubtless  to  drop  dead  a  mile  further  on. 

It  is  noon,  the  rapid  coming  and  going  of  the  ducks  has 
made  me  forget  my  wet  lower  extremities,  but  not  my  appe- 
tite. The  lunch  is  brought,  out  but  the  rapid  coming  of  birds 
from  all  directions  prevent  one  eating  except  on  the  install- 
ment plan. 

A  blue-bill  gets  a  hot  dose  of  lead  from  Will's  Colt,  and 
falls,  but  dives  instanter,  and  is  not  thought  worth  the  trouble 
of  a  chase.  Another  flock  of  teal,  from  which  two  make  up 
their  minds  to  stay  with  us,  there  might  have  been  three,  but 
Will  pulls  trigger  on  one  just  as  the  trusty  Smith  makes  him 
let  go  of  the  air.  Soon  after  the  same  thing  occurs  again  and 
then  we  adopt  a  system  of  shooting.  A  crippled  teal  sails  ofl 
an  eighth  of  a  mile  and  then  drops.  The  boat  is  again  pushed 
off',  but  before  we  can  get  her  fairly  out  of  the  tules  a  bunch 
of  spoonbills  pass — all  but  one,  that  the  Colt  induces  to  wait 
a  bit.  The  teal  retrieved,  Bronta  is  sent  for  the  spoonbill, 
but  the  little  imp  swims  up  to  it,  rolls  it  over  and  passes  on; 
swims  all  about  among  the  decoys  and  comes  in  without  it. 
A  second  attempt  meets  with  like  effect,  and  the  spooney  has 
to  be  retrieved  by  hand.  "  What  can  have  got  into  the  beg- 
gar?" He  had  retrieved  everything  else  in  his  reach,  but 
could  not  be  induced  to  touch  that  spooney. 

When  in  the  boat  he  smells  of  the  despised  bird  suspiciously, 
and  the  next  one  he  brings  in  without  hesitation.  While 
busily  engaged  lighting  our  pipes  a  nice  bunch  of  teal  came 
round  the  point.  We  are  taken  unawares  again,  but  four  bar- 
rels again  belch  forth  their  fire.  The  teal  go  right  on  and 
ffe  wonder  how  on  earth  we  missed  them.  Shortly  after  we 
spy  one  nearly  dead  floating  among  the  decoys.  He  is  quickly 
brought  to  bag  by  Bronta — a  fine  fat  drake. 

The  tide  has  begun  to  leave  the  flats  dry,  and  we  are  forced 
to  move  our  decoys  and  squat  on  our  hams  in  the  tules.  A 
butter  ball  swings  in  quickly  and  lights  among  the  decoys. 
Will  gives  him  a  barrel.  The  pattern  of  the  Colt  is  too  open, 
and  Mr.  Butterball  gets  up  somewhat  confused,  hovers  in  the 
air  undecided  which  way  to  fly.  We  think  that  it  is  a 
case  of  '■  the  one  who  hesitates  is  lost,"  but  the  Colt  speaks 
again  and  Mr.  Butflferball  goes  ofl  again  unharmed.  To  this 
day  Will  wonders  how  he  missed  that  bird.  An  incoming 
teal  is  next  brought  to  bag  by  the  Colt  and  Will  feels  relieved. 
A  flock  of  cans  from  the  bay  again  surprise  us,  but  the  Smith 
accounts  for  one ;  before  the  dog  could  be  called  he  begins  to 
make  off.  Three  shells  fail  to  6top  him,  and,  aided  by  the 
tide  and  wind,  he  is  soon  out  of  range.  At  2:30  P.  M.  the 
tide  has  again  left  the  decoys  on  the  mud,  and  as  we  have  but 
a  half  dozen  shells  left  we  give  it  up  for  the  day. 

Thirteen  teal,  two  spoonbills,  two  butter-ball  and  a  shell- 
drake  comprise  the  bag.  Some  six  or  eight  that  fell  too  far 
out  to  be  retrieved  are  not  counted.  Some  shooters,  under 
like  conditions,  would  doubtless  have  bagged  forty,  but  we  are 
satisfied.  And  after  a  substantial  meal  at  the  McCrackens' 
and  a  hearty  request  to  come  again,  we  depart  for  the  city 
just  as  contented  and  pleased  with  our  outing  as  though  we 
had  all  we  could  carrv.  The  6:07  train  brings  us  to  our 
homes  shortlv  after  7  o'clock,  and  the  writer  ventures  to  say 
that  but  few  cities  give  a  sportsman  a  like  opportunity  to  en- 
joy a  like  shoot  in  the  same  length  of  time.   Respectfully, 

Dl'KE. 

The  Salinas  Rod  and  Gun  Club. 


Sporting    Patents. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  above-named  club  at  Salinas  on  Janu- 
ary '.Hh  the  old  board  of  officers  were  re-elected,  viz  :  Judge 
N.  A.  Dorn,  president ;  L.  J.  Hazen,  secretary  ;  E.  Maguine 
treasurer.  Seven  new  members  were  elected,making  twenty- 
nine  now  in  the  club.  The  members  of  the  Monterey  Wing 
8hooting  Club  were  elected  honorary  members  of  the  club, 
during  the  week  of  the  field  trials.  Committees  were  ap- 
pointed to  prepare  for  the  reception  and  entertainment  of  the 
members  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Field  Trial  Club  during  their 
annual  meeting. 

The  club  also  appointed  a  committee  to  receive  donations 
from  the  citizens  of  Salinas,  to  assist  in  meeting  the  expenses 
of  entertaining  the  visiting  sportsmen. 

The  club  has  a  wide-spread  reputation  for  open-handed 
hospitality,  that  according  to  the  Salinas  Journal  "  has  ever 
been  a  source  of  gratification  to  our  local  pride."  The  visit- 
ing sportsmen  will  be  royally  entertained  and  should  the 
grounds  prove  satisfactory  Salinas  can  count  on  the  trials  as 
a  yearly  event.

Remarkable    Shots. 


The  Sporting  World  is  responsible  for  the  following : 
"Center  Moriches,  L.  I.,  Dec.  30. — Egbert  Smith  of 
East  Moriches  says  he  did  some  tall  shooting  on  the  Great 
South  Bay  near  his  home,  the  other  day.  Ice  covered  the 
bav  with  the  exception  of  small  holes  near  the  shore.  Feed- 
ing in  one  of  theseholes  was  a  flock  of  birds  called  hen  bills 
and  several  other  different  names.  According  to  Mr.  Smith 
the  birds  fairly  jammed  in  the  hole.  Mr.  Smith  carried  a  No. 
10  duck  gun.  At  one  discharge  into  the  flock  he  killed  enough 
to  pick  up  fifty-one  without  going  after  them  in  boat.  Ira 
Howell,  a  neighbor,  took  an  ice-boat  and  went  after  those 
that  had  fallen  beyond  Mr.  Smith's  reach.  He  found  enough 
to  furnish  his  family  with  a  good  meal.  Mr.  Smith  and  sev- 
eral of  his  neighbors  vouch  for  the  truthfulness  of  his  re- 
markable shot" 

The  above  upon  being  read  in  this  office  called  forth  a 
statement  from  a  well-known  horseman  present  that  is  un- 
questionably true.  In  the  fall  of  1885,  just  after  the  first  rain 
of  the  season,  Matt  Storn  and  Patsy  Duffy  started  out  for  a 
duck  hunt  on  the  Haggin  ranche  near  Sacramento.  Noticing 
an  immense  flock  of  ducks  in  a  fresh  water  6lough,  they 
crawled  upon  their  hands  and  knees  through  an  inch  or  two 
of  water,  to  the  ducks.  When  the  ducks  took  wing  there  were 
so  many  of  them  that  they  fairly  knocked  against  each  other 
in  the  air.  The  hunters  fired  four  barrels  into  the  flock  and 
retreived  173  ducks — mallard,  canvas-back,  sprig  and  wid- 
geon. Four  men  could  hardly  pack  them  home.  They 
killed  ten  more  cripples  and  stragglers,  making  183  in  the 
day's  shoot. 

Queen  Victoria's  Preserves. 

The  Queen  has  four  forests.  Balmoral,  which  forms  a  par 
of  the  original  estate  which  ^as  purchased  by  the  late  Prince 
Albert  from  the  Fife  Trustees  in  1852,  expends  to  ten  thou- 
sand acres  ;  Ballochbuie,  which  was  bought  by  the  Queen  in 
1S7S,  from  the  late  Colonel  Farquharson,  of  Invercauld,  cov- 
ers ten  thousand  acres,  and  is  famous  for  its  ancient  woods  of 
Scotch  fir;  Abergeldie  and  Whitemouth,  which  are  leased 
from  Mr.  H.  M.  Gordon,  extend  to  about  nine  thousand  acres, 
and  they  comain  the  finest  corries  in  the  whole  domain.  The 
extensive  woods  in  these  four  forests,  and  the  abundant  and 
exceptionally  sweet  pastures  in  the  corries,  render  them  a  fa- 
vorite haunt  for  deer.  The  mountain  of  Lochnagar  (3,250 
feet)  is  included  in  the  royal  forest,  and  the  scenery  of  the 
whole  domain  is  very  grand.  There  is  a  network  of  bridle 
paths,  so  that  all  parts  of  the  forest  can  be  easily  reached 
from  either  Balmoral  or  Abergeldie,  and  three  rifles  can  be 
out  at  the  same  time  on  separate  beats.  About  eighty  stags 
are  killed  each  season,  with  a  proportionate  number  of  hinds. 
— Shooting  Times. 

Miss  Helen  Keller,  one  of  the  greatest  marvels  of  this  age, 
and  who  is  held  in  reverence  by  many  dogmen,  visited  the 
World's  Fair,  and  it  is  said  that  every  door  in  the  white  city 
was  opened  to  her.  The  Cape  of  Good  Hope  unlocked  its 
safe  and  allowed  her  to  inspect  the  diamonds;  show  cases 
filled  with  the  most  delicate  wares  were  thrown  open  that 
they  might  be  explored  by  her  delicate  fingers.  Even  in  the 
foreign  bazars,  with  their  warning  sigo,  "For  God's  Sake 
Don't  Handle,"  addressed  to  the  personally  investigating 
American,  gave  invitation  to  her  touch.  She  climbed  all  over 
the  great  Krupp  guu,  and  its  workings  were  described  for  her 
by  the  German  officers.  What  delighted  her  most  was  the 
French  bronzes,  which  her  eager  fingers  traced,  catching  the 
artist's  thought  and  getting  ideas  of  lovliness,  as  her  sensitive 
face  expressed.  Her  companion  was  endeavoring  to  describe 
to  hertheeffect  of  theelectric  light  in  the  lagoons,  and  her 
well-trained  imagination  quickly  responded:  "Does  it  look 
as  if  a  shower  of  golden  fish  had  been  caught  ij  an  invisible 
net  ?"  Her  friend  adds  :  "She  is  a  poet  whose  eyes  were 
taken  from  her  in  early  days,  but  whose  soul  is  full  of  music." 
Fanciers  Journal.  

George  Waggoner  has  purchased  fifteen  beautiful  specimens 
of  the  Orecon  quail  and  placed  them  in  his  poultry  park  with 
the  view  of  propagation.  This  bird  is  one  which  the  average 
hunter  fails  to  kill  as  readily  as  most  wild  game  birds,  owing 
to  the  fact  that  it  usually  haunts  the  thicket  and  seldom  is 
found  on  clear  ground,  and  will  not  stand  the  work  of  dogs. 
The  Oregon  quail  is  perhaps  the  handsomest  specimen  of  the 
quail  family,  it  being  a  dark  drab  and  clothed  with  feathers 
of  variegated  colors.  Together  with  the  twelve  Denny  pheas- 
ants the  collection  of  Mr.  Waggoner  is  one  of  considerable 
interest  with  the  quail  is  equal  to  that  his  efforts  have  not 
been  in  vain. — Corvallis  Gazette.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 

Annual  Election  P.  C.  B.  H.  A. — Was  held  in  accord- 
ance with  the  bye-laws  on  Tuesday  evening  last.  The  ac- 
tion taken  was  an  emphatic  endorsement  of  the  manage- 
ment, the  "  old  Board"  being  sustained  by  a  big,  an  "  over- 
whelming majority."  It  would  have  been  a  fairer  test  if  the 
vote  had  been  by  ballot,  though  it  is  scarcely  probable  that 
even  in  that  case  there  would  have  been  any  change.  As 
was  staled  last  week  I  acquiesed  in  the  verdict  which  the 
majority  has  rendered,  and  trust  that  the  outcome  may  be 
auspicious.  Very  many  of  those  who  were  staunch  sup- 
porters of  the  management  agree  with  me  that  expenses  could 
be  redaced  materially  without  lessening  the  efficacy  of  the 
work,  and  one  of  the  directors  with  whom  I  conversed  held 
the  same  views,  so  that  when  the  spring  meeting  is  opened 
there  may  be  retrenchment  in  some  of  the  salaries.  While 
there  may  be  "cutting-downs"  there  is  ODe  which  is  surely 
too  low  if  my  hearing  was  correct.  That  is  the  salary  of  the 
secretary  which  I  understand  to  be  $700  per  years.  W  ith  two 
meetings  extending  over  the  time  of  the  winter  meeting  of 
1893  and  the  spring  meetiDg  of  1S94  that  is  certainly  inade- 
quate recompense  for  the  work  and  tribulations  the  position 
entails,  and  far  from  being  proportionate  to  others"  of  the 
salaries. 

I  do  not  desire  to  present  arguments  now  iD  favor  of  the 
ballot  over  a  viva  voce  declaration  of  preferen  res,  though  it 
will  not  be  out  of  place  to  note  a  portion  of  the  plea  of  the 
gentleman  who  introduced  the  resolution  for  an  open  vote  or 
rather  a  vote  of  acclamation.  That  was,  that  ths  framers  of 
the  by-laws  had  that  intention  evidently,  and  incorporated 
Article  3  for  that  purpose.  The  section  of  Article  3  bearing 
on  that  is  an  exact  copy  of  the  article  adopted  in  1878,  ex- 
cepting that  director  tabes  the  place  of  trustee  in  the  latter, 
and  every  aunual  meeting  I  have  attended  election  was  by 
ballot,  though  my  absence  of  late  years  has  prevented  per- 
sonal experience. 

The  remedy  will  be  to  prepare  an  amendment  to  be  acted 
upon  at  the  next  annual  meeting  in  which  voting  by  ballot  is 
made  compulsory.  This  can  be  acted  upon  by  "general 
principles  "  without  bearing  on  one  election,  and  placed  on 
that  broad  ground  will  surely  prevail.  The  ballot,  guarded 
in  every  way  to  secure  freedem  from  espionage,  is  a  right 
which  will  never  be  surrendered  in  an  age  of  enlightement.

"  The  Old  Board  " — Had  the  present  directors  of  the  P. 
C.  B.  H.  A.  been  elected  by  ballot,  I  should  have  been  fully 
satisfied  with  that  much  of  the  result  of  the  annual  meeting. 
After  the  statement  was  read  disclosing  the  financial  situation 
viz.,  that  there  was  an  indebtedness  of  so  nearly  forty  thous- 
and dollars,  that  a  few  of  the  "  units  of  value"  can  oniy  be 
subtracted  from  that  round  sum,  it  seemed  manifestly  proper 
that  the  Board  which  incurred  the  indebtedness  should  have 
the  opportunity  of  liquidating  the  claims.  Especially  when 
they  were  not  only  willing  to  continue  their  services  but  al- 
so confident  in  their  ability  to  present  a  balance  sheet  at  the 
close  of  1S94  with  figures  on  the  cheerful  page,  a  credit  equal, 
at  least,  ao  that  which  was  shown  when  the  lately  made  im- 
provements were  resolved  upon. 

For  a  few  days  prior  to  the  election  there  were  rumors,  or 
it  may  be  said  confident  assertions,  that  an  assessment  was  to 
be  levied  tj  meet  the  demands  of  creditors,  but  Mr.  Quintan 
assured  me,  just  before  the  meeting  was  called  to  order,  that 
such  was  not  the  intention,  and  that  the  directors  were  confi- 
dent that  they  could  "pull  through  "  unless  there  were  dis- 
cordant voices  in  their  councils.  I  had  anticipated  such  a 
state  of  affairs,  and  in  reply  to  requests  to  join  in  concentrated 
oppotition  answered  that  I  would  not  be  a  party  to  precon- 
certed schemes,  bat  would  be  guided  by  transpiring  events 
when  the  meeting  came  off.  1  entered  a  protest  against  the 
system  of  voting,  as  it  was,  in  my  opinion,  entirely  contra- 
dictory of  the  by-laws,  a  dangerous  precedent,  and  assuredly 
in  violation  of  established  custom  in  all  Associations  in  which  ! 
members  had  a  right  to  express  their  preferences  without  be-  i 
ing  subiected  to  espionage  and  called  to  account  for  conscient- 
ously  performing  their  duties. 

Under  the  showing  made  there  is  little  question  of  the 
"Old  Board"  would  have  been  elected  had  a  ballot  prevailed. 
There  was  no  opposition  to  the  President  and  vice-President 
and  with  the  knowledge  obtained  from  even  a  brief  state- 
ment of  the  condition  of  affairs  a  change  of  any  kind  would 
have  been  hazardous. 

I  have  not  changed  my  opinion  that  the  large  outlay,  un- 
der the  prevailing  conditions,  was  ill-advised,  but  as  that  can- 
not be  remedied,  the  only  thing  that  well-wishers  of  the  turf 
can  do  is  to  join  heartily  in  every  endeavor,  compatible  with 
honor,  to  aid  in  over-coming  the  heavy  impost  the  associa- 
tion has  to  bear.  There  is  no  one  who  underrates  the  energy 
and  enterprise  of  the  President,  and  the  second  in  commaud 
is  equally  as  well  worthy  of  commendation.  The  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Board,  so  far  as  my  acquaintance  extends,  are 
straightforward  men,  and  from  the  experience  gained  should 
be  efficient  co-workeJs  with  the  executive.  And  speaking  of 
workers  it  would  be  troublesome  to  find  an  active  business 
man  who  would  bestow  so  much  of  his  time,  brain  and  mus- 
cle as  Mr.  Qainlan  has  done  for  the  sole, "good  of  the  cause." 
There  may  be  others  just  as  worthy  of  praise,  but  none  possi- 
bly more  so,  as  he  was  indefatigable  and  untiring  from  the 
moment  he  was  installed  chairman  of  the  improvement  com- 
mittee until  the  work  was  accomplished. 

Although  the  past  proceedings  have  been  emphatically 
commended  by  the  action  of  the  assembled  members  of  the 
P.  C.  B.  H.  A.,  and  the  late  meeting  had  a  very  full  delega- 
tion, it  does  not  follow  that  there  is  no  room  for  improve- 
ment, and  I  trust  that  when  the  spring  meeting  is  held  that 
expenses  can  be  redaced  from  what  they  had  been  in  the  one 
brought  to  a  close.  Mr.  Williams  in  his  address  tersely  out- 
lined where  reductions  could  be  made,  and  there  is  no  doubt 
that  he  will  favor  economy,  and  I  am  also  sure  that  in  this 
he  will  be  sustained  by  every  m?mber  of  the  Board. 

When  it  comes  to  paying  debts,  expenditures  figures  as 
well  as  receipts,  and  no  one  can  take  exceptions  to  what 
might  appear  parsimonious  under  other  conditions,  when 
forty-thousand  dollars  have  been  accumulated. 


Pacific  Tbottlng  and  Pacing  Association. — The 
newspaper  publicity  has  called  out  the  following  letter  from 
the  Secretary  of  our  association, and  now  that  associat-on  have 
been  notified  by  a  circular  from  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  it  is 
likely  that  responses  will  reach  there  in  a  short  time.  Mr 
Merry's  plan  is  good  as  far  as  it  goes,  but  in  order  to  avoid  a 
clashing  of  interests  it  is  necessary  that  the  governing  society 
should  be  notified. 

With  headquarters  in  San  Francisco,  Sacramento  or  San 
Jose  and  notice  sent  of  delinquency  at  the  conclusion  of  the 
races,  memhers  would  obtain  intelligence  from  the  main  office 
within  a  few  days  after  default  was  made. 

The  rule,  however,  could  be  framed  so  as  to  cover  all 
points  by  the  Secretary  of  the  association  which  held  the 
claim  being  authorized  to  notify  the  associations  next  in  the 
order  of  the  meetings  and  the  general  governing  body  also, 
and  thus  his  notification  to  sister  members  should  be  sufficient 
to  hold  delinquents. 

As  has  been  stated  before,  and  reiterated,  there  can  only  be 
one  valid  objection  to  the  proposed  organization,  that  being 
the  chance  of  equally  as  good  service  as  that  rendered  by  the 
Eastern  associations  without  additional  expense  to  the  mem- 
bers. 

Even  following  the  suggestion  of  our  correspondent,  that 
it  would  be  advisable  to  organize  if  even  California  alone  was 
to  be  provided  for,  the  money  sent  East  now  would  cover  the 
net  expense.  But  the  idea  of  the  promoters  of  the  project  is 
to  restrict  the  dues  of  members  to  the  net  sum  which  will  be 
necessary  to  do  the  work  and,  consequently,  the  larger  the 
membership  the  smaller  thecost. 

Huej-'eme,  Yentcba  Co.,  Cal.,  Jan.  5,  1894. 

Editor  Baeeder  and  Sportsman — I  notice  by  reading 
your  valuable  paper  that  horsemen  about  San  Francisco  are 
discussing  the  advisability  of  organizing  an  association  pat- 
terned after  the  National  and  American  Associations  to  ac- 
complish for  the  Pacific  Coast  what  those  associations  do  for 
the  entire  country.  I  hope  they  will  succeed  even  if  we 
have  to  limit  the  scope  of  the  Association  to  California  alone. 

If  they  effect  such  an  organization  I  hope  to  see  a  rule 
adopted,  that  notice  of  suspension  of  a  mare  or  horse  by  an 
associate  member  to  another  shall  bedeemed  sufficient  to  pre- 
vent that  man  or  horse  from  participating  in  any  of  the  rac- 
ing events  of  the  Association  thus  notified.  The  round-about 
way  that  notice  has  now  to  go  destroys  its  effect.  I  can  name 
a  mare  that  has  been  running  all  winter  at  the  Blood  Horse 
meeting  that  has  been  suspended  by  several  of  the  District 
Associations  and  notice  been  sent  to  the  National  Associa- 
tion. The  rule  requires  that  notice  of  suspension  must  be 
sent  to  the  National  Association  within  one  week  from  the 
closing  of  the  fair.  This  is  done,  there  it  is  printed,  and  be- 
fore that  official  notice  is  received  by  the  neighboring  asso- 
ciations, their  fairs  have  come  off,  and  thesuspended  man  or 
horse  has  participated  in  the  races,  because  no  official  notice 
has  been  received  from  the  National  Association.  For  ex- 
ample— Brown  and  his  horses  are  suspended  at  Santa  Bar- 
bara for  non-payment  of  entries — the  week  following  the 
fair  begins  at  Hueneme.  Brown  has  his  horses  entered  and 
must  be  allowed  to  start  Lhem  because  we  have  received  no 
official  notice  of  his  suspension.  Or  if  he  is  delinquent  at 
Hueneme,  he  goes  to  Los  Angeles  and  Santa  Ana  and  starts 
them  there.  Xow  another  tangle  comes  in  those  associations 
belong  to  the  American,  so  they  would  not  any  way  receive 
notice  of  Brown's  delinqment  for  Lompoc,  Santa  Barbara 
and  Hueneme  Associations  belong  to  the  National  and  so  it 
goes.  This  is  the  case  also  with  the  Districts  north  of  the 
Bay — a  man  is  delinquent  at  Petaluma,  then  the  week  follow- 
ing he  is  at  Napa,  another  week  he  is  at  Solano,  and  before 
that  official  notice  of  his  delinquency  is  received  he  has  par- 
ticipated in  the  races  of  several  districts.  You  may  ask 
"  What  is  the  remedy  ?"  Very  simple.  Adopt  a  rule  that 
notice  from  the  Secretary  of  one  Association  to  another  as- 
sociation shall  he  sufficient  to  prevent  the  starting  of  a  de- 
linquent horse  or  owner  unless  the  amount  delinquent  is  paid 
or  the  suspension  removed.  That  would  do  the  business.  Then 
again  the  having  of  two  associations  like  the  National  and 
American  with  identical  objects  defeats  justice  and  creates 
confusion. 

So  gentlemeu  of  the  North  go  ahead  and  organize  a  Cali- 
fornia or  Pacific  Coast  Association  and  you  shall  have  the  as- 
sistance and  cordial  support  of        Yours  truly, 

T.  H.  Merry, 
Secretary  31st  District. 

*  "  * 

California  occupies  a  prominent  position  in  the  world  of 
light-harness  horses.  It  can  scarcely  be  called  offensive  par- 
tisanship when  a  resident  claims  that  it  is  entitled  to  as  high 
a  place  as  any  ether  State,  and  an  enthusiast  may  be  par- 
doned far  insisting,  that  measured  by  all  the  conditions,  it 
has  fairly  earned  the  title  of  the  banner  State.  So  long  as 
the  out-and-out  defender  of  the  Pacific  Slope  is  not  offensive 
in  his  comparisons,  confines  his  tongue  or  pen  to  eulogizing 
the  productions  of  his  section,  without  depreciating  the 
horses  which  have  been  reared  in  other  places,  he 
will  not  incur  the  charge  of  being  so  warped  by  fa- 
voritism as  to  blind  him  to  the  merits  of  foreign 
competitors.  In  the  last  ten  year3  California  horses  have 
gained  such  distinction  on  Eastern  courses  and  tracks  that  to 
deny  their  merits  would  elicit  derision  from  Eastern  people, 
and  this  conceded  high  position  gives  a  standing  which  can- 
not be  ignored.  It  also  lends  peculiar  interest  to  the  present 
status  of  horse  breeding  on  this  coast,  and  to  the  prospects  in 
the  future;  therefore,  in  making  that  the  suhject  of: 
this  article,  it  is  likely  to  be  of  interest  to  readers  at 
home  and  abroad. 

Great  changes  the  last  year  has  brought  on  this  coast  | 
The  largest  trotting  horse  breeding  establishment  in  the 
world  reduced  to  comparatively  small  proportions.  An- 
other of  the  largest  broken  up  entirely,  and  with  few 
exceptions,  curtailment  the  order  of  the  day. 
There  is  little  hazard  in  stating  that  the  reduction  in  breed- 
ing light  harness  horses  in  California  since  1892  will  be  fully 
fifty  per  cent,  as  there  has  been  like  contraction  among  the 
small  breeders,  nearly  a  total  abandonment  of  the  practice  of 
sending  a  mare  or  two  to  trotting  slallions  by  men  who  were 
not  in  the  breeding  ranks. 

A  few  years  ago  this  last-named  class  were  the  chief  sup- 
porters of  stallions  which  stood  for  "  outside  mares,"  and  it 
is  well  within  bounds  to  say  that  there  will  be  a  diminution 
of  twenty-five  per  cent  in  that  branch. 

Farmers  with  so  many  unsalable  horses  on  hand  will  turn 


their  attention  to  other  classes  of  stock,  and  while  the  trot- 
ting-bred  foals  of  1S94  will  be  largely  below  the  crop  of  pre- 
vious years,  there  is  little  question  that  succeeding  crops  will 
be  still  smaller,  until  supply  and  demand  are  nearer  on  an 
equilibrium. 

There  is  iust  as  little  doubt  that  ere  the  balance  is  adjusted 
the  demand  will  be  in  excess  of  the  supply,  that  is  for  horses 
which  can  trot  faster  than  their  records,  and  for  youngsters 
of  promise  which  are  named  in  stakes  or  are  eligible  for  valu- 
able engagement. 

But  with  all  the  advantages  California  preseots  for  bretd- 
ing,  rearing  and  training  there  are  drawbacks  which  are  not 
met  in  the  East,  at  least  to  the  same  extent  as  prevail  here. 
Distance  from  market  and  paucity  of  population.  The  best 
will  repay  the  cost  of  transportation, but  to  se  cure  that  class, 
breeding  has  to  be  carried  on  on  a  scale  that  entails  «. 
very  large  outlay,  and  when  the  best  can  alone  be  sold  for 
remunerative  prices  the  cost  of  the  whole  brings  the  balance 
on  the  wrong  side  of  the  ledger.  There  cannot  be  a  home 
market,  sufficient  to  absorb  the  surplus,  so  long  as  breeding 
was  conducted  on  the  lines  which  marked  its  boundaries  in 
the  past  ten  years,  inasmuch  as  there  are  not  people  enough 
to  support  the  number  of  meetings  necessary  to  give  value  to 
the  progeny  which  came  from  the  extension  of  the  business 
into  such  mammoth  proportions.  Diminished,  however,  to  a 
comparatively  small  percentage,  the  limits  of  production  con- 
tracted to  a  degree  which  will  reduce  the  supply  to  a  quan- 
tity which  can  be  used,  and  also  with  the  assurance  that  the 
quality  all  through  will  be  of  a  higher  grade,  then  though  the 
big  prices  of  the  past  may  never  be  known  in 
the  hereafter  there  will  be  "  good  money "  in  the 
business.  While  sensational  performers  may  not  be  the  re- 
sult as  frequently  as  has  been  the  case  when  so  many  were 
bred,  the  consequence  of  curtailing  the  number  of  brood- 
mares, and  the  general  castration  of  males,  will  be  that  the 
inferior  will  be  thrown  out,  the  superior  retained.  Still,  judg- 
ing from  the  past,  small  breeders  will  play  an  important  part 
in  the  production  of  cracks.  In  California  Directum  and 
Hulda  were  bred  by  men  who  up  to  that  time  bred  few  mares, 
and  in  the  East  there  are  several  examples  of  the  samekind- 
The  withdrawal,  however,  of  so  many  of  California's  breeding 
stock  from  the  large  breeding  farms  will  equalize  thechances, 
and  in  place  of  the  main  stakes  being,  as  heretofore,  won  by 
the  colts  which  were  reared  on  the  big  establishments,  a  fair 
proportion  will  fall  to  the  lot  of  small  breeders. 

There  is  scarcely  a  doubt  that  those  who  do  not  fall  down 
under  the  pressure  of  hard  times  will  find  that  the  bottom  of 
the  light  harness  horse  business  has  not  entirely  dropped,  and 
now  when  the  services  of  first-class  stallions  can  be  obtained 
at  a  moderate  fee,  it  will  be  a  great  mistake  to  neglect  the 
opportunity.  Jos.  Caibn  Simpson.

November),  and  as  their  produce  will  constitute  the  last  of 
the  sons  and  daughters  of  the  dead  premier  to  race,  the  list  is

Old  Freeland. 


The  announcement  made  at  St.  Louis  a  Bhort  time  ago, 
that  Freeland,  the  mighty  gelding  that  won  Ed  Corrigau  his 
greatest  renown  on  the  turf,  was  in  training  at  East  St  Louis 
has  raised  a  storm  of  indignation  from  turfmen  all  over  the 
country,  and  it  is  likely  that  steps  will  be  taken  to  prerent 
the  old  hero  from  possible  disgrace  by  being  defeated  in  his 
old  age. 

When  Freeland  had  finished  his  career  and  had  earned  a 
life  of  ease  Ed  Corrigan  thought  that  to  present  him  to  the 
superintendent  of  Xantura  would  insure  the  old  horse  the 
best  of  care  for  his  remaining  days,  and  he  therefore  gave 
Freeland  to  the  superintendent.  The  Live  Stock  Record 
learns  that  the  superintendent  sold  him  recently  and  other 
parties  have  him  in  charge  at  East  St.  Louis.  Freeland  is 
now  fourteen  years  old.  To  sbow  the  feeling  in  St.  Louis  we 
reprint  here  what  two  prominent  turfmen  of  St.  Louis  have 
to  say  about  it. 

President  Alex  Ullman,  of  East  St.  Louis,  said  : 

"Mr.  Corrigan  gave  Freeland  away  several  years  ago,  be- 
lieving that  at  Harper's  farm  he  would  be  well  cared  for  the 
rest  of  his  days.  The  master  of  Hawthorne  is  now  in  the 
West  and  has  not  heard  of  this  attempt  being  made  to  run  the 
horse  again.  That  he  will  oppose  such  a  proceeding  with  all 
the  wealth  and  power  at  his  command  those  who  know  him 
cannot  help  but  believe.  I  have  determined  to  reject  the 
horse's  entry  in  any  race  over  the  East  St.  Louis  track." 

Judge  Joseph  Swigert.of  Madison,  said  : 

"  It  is  an  outrage,  and  I  do  not  believe  any  judge  on  a 
Western  track  will  permit  old  Freeland  to  face  the  flag  again. 
A  judge  has  the  right  to  reject  any  entry,  aod  I  believe  that 
will  be  done  by  every  man  in  a  stand  from  Xew  Orleans  to 
St.  Paul.  Freeland  can  never  be  more  than  a  shadow  of  his 
former  self,  and  the  reputation  with  which  he  retired  from 
the  turf  should  be  allowed  to  stand  untarnished."

There  is  do  place  of  its  size  so  well-known  or  so  widely  ad- 
vertised as  the  little  town  of  Pleasanton,  Alameda  comity. 
Year  alter  year  the  trotting  princes  that  leave  the  smooth, 
level  race  track  on  the  outskirts  of  the  town  in  the  early 
spring,  return  in  the  latter  part  of  the  year  crowned  kings. 
The  benefits  of  climate,  feed  and  soil  have  been  extolled  and 
the  foremost  horsemen  in  the  land  who  are  interested  in 
the  trotting-horse  industry  deem  their  visit  to  California's 
many  beautiful  places  incomplete  without  a  visit  to  Pleas- 
anton.  It  is  onlv  a  two  hours'  ride  in  the  cars  through  the 
largest  area  of  diversified  country  to  be  found  anywhere  in  such 
proximity  to  San  Francisco  :  the  long  stretch  of  valley  land 
commencing  at  the  bay  extends  through  the  richest  agricul- 
tural and  horticultural  section  iu  California  to  the  font  of  the 
mountains,  then  up  through  the  celebrated  Xiles  canyon, 
where,  at  every  turn  of  the  circuitous  road,  wild  and  beauti- 
ful sceuery  delights  the  traveler's  eye,  while  the  waters  of  the 
Alameda  creek — almost  a  river  at  this  time  of  the  year — 
add  them  musical  sounds  to  make  the  visitor  more  impressed 
with  the  journey.  Out  of  the  canyon  to  a  level  table  laud, 
then  down  between  two  hills,  the  train  moves  almost  noise- 
lessly into  the  great  Livermore  valley,  one  of  the  best  of  its 
size  in  California. 

It  was  the  last  weekday  of  the  old  year  when  I  looked  out 
of  the  car  window  and  saw  far  up  on  the  mountains  toward 
Mount  Diablo.the  mantle  of  snow  glistening  still  and  calm-like 
in  the  sunshine  above  the  valley  rich  in  emerald  green,  while 
the  foot  hills  intervening  were  all  clothed  in  the  garments 
of  springtime.  The  weather  was  cold — much  colder  than 
many  in  the  car  anticipated,  nevertheless,  when  the  train 
stopped  at  the  depot  a  comfortable  phreton  was  in  waiting,  and 
wrapped  in  a  buffalo  robe  which  had  been  brought  from  the 
East  by  Mr.  Salisbury  a  few  weeks  previous,  I  found  that  un- 
like the  dreaded  sleigh  ride  of  this  well-known  horsemen  in 
his  ride  with  F.  S.  Gorton  in  the  East,  there  was  no  danger  of 
having  my  ears  frost  bitten. 

The  track  is  only  a  few  blocks  from  the  depot,  and  as  Mr. 
Salisbury,  John  Kelly,  Jose  Neal,  Dr.  H.  Latham  and  Wm. 
Murry  were  all  waiting  to  show  the  equine  wouders  there, 
it  did  not  take  long  to  lead  them  out. 

The  first  horse  shown  was  "  Directum,  2:05},  the  king  of 
trotters."  He  proudly  stepped  out  of  his  stall,  and  to  say 
that  he  improved  since  he  left  California  would  be  not  out  of 


uniformly  large,  strongly  made,  with  magnificent  legs,  large 
strong  joints,  perfect,  well-shaped  straight  feet.  They  have 
the  level  heads  like  their  sire,  and  whether  trotting  or  pac- 
ing (four  are  trotters  and  one  is  a  pacer),  they  stick  to  their 
gait  with  a  determination  that  is  captivating  to  look  at. 
Speedier  by  far  tban  Directum  or  Direct  was  at  their  age, 
all  of  them  show  that  they  are  living  monuments  of  the  vir- 
tues of  having  a  developed  sire  that  was.  when  on  the  track, 
invincible. 

There  was  a  black  weanling  there  that  I  believe,  if  nothing 
happens,  will  cause  as  great  an  excitement  when  he  appears 
on  the  track  as  any  horse  that  ever  graduated  from  the  Pleas- 
anton  course.  He  is  by  Direct,  out  of  a  mare  by  Incas,  second 


open  nostrils.  Her  neck  is  long  and  fine;  her  shoulders  are 
oblique  and  withers  sharp;  her  back  seems  short,  and  over 
the  coupling  she  is  remarkably  strong.  Her  back  ribs  are 
well  sprung  from  the  spine  and  splendidly  curved  giving  great 
space  for  the  heart  and  lungs.  She  is  short  coupled,  and  from 
the  point  of  the  hip  to  the" hock  she  is  not  as  longasone 
would  expect;  her  hocks  are  straight  like  those  of  her  sire's; 
her  legs,  feet  and  pasterns  are  of  the  spring  steel  and  whale- 
bone kind;  her  quarters,  arms  and  gaskins  are  well  muscled; 
]  taking  her  all  in  all  she  is  a  model  mare  and  fit  to  be  matron 
of  sucb  a  wonderful  family.     In    disposition  she   is  endowed 


with  a  superabundance  of  that  great  quality  so  essential  in 
broodmares,  nervous  energy,  and  whether  in    harness  or  in 
dam  Miss   Conklin,  by  Oonklin's   American  Star.     He  was  j  the  paddock  with  other  mares  she  shows  that  she  will  not  be 
named  by  Superintendent  Joe  Neal,  Two  Soon,  and  he  will  t  conquered  except  by  kindness.  In  the  stable  no  gender  mare 
never  stop  until  he  enters  the  two  class  soon.oras  soon  as  any  [  ever  lived,  but  in_harness  she  will   not  stand  to   be   abused 


one  of  his  age  ever  trots  there.  The  two-minute  trotter  is  on 
this  course,  and  he  will  prove  it  before  two  years  elapse. 
I  would  like  to  speak  of  each  of  the  little  Directs  I  saw 
trotting  eighths  on  this  cold  aflernoou,  but  will  defer  it  until 
some  other  time. 

The  colts  by  Directum  are  all  trotters,  and  will,  when  given 
a  little  work,  prove  fitting  rivals  for  those  by  Direct.  They 
are  of  the  good-size  strongly-built  order  also,  although  there 
are  only  a  few  of  them  here. 

John  Kelly  led  out  a  bay  colt  by  Director,  out  of  Aurora 
(dam  of  the  great  race  horse  Guido),  that  is  as  perfect  a 
turned  animal  as  a  man  would  want  to  look  at.  He  is  called 
Gymnast,  and  the  proud  look  that  o'erspread  this  trainer's 
face  as  well  as  the  gentle  way  Mr.  Salisbury  patted  the  stylish 
looking  colt,  spoke  more  than  words  of  the  high  esteem 
in  which  this  colt  was  held.  He  is  fast  as  a  bullet,  level- 
headed and  game  as  a  bulldog.  He  is  a  beauty,  and  one  that 
will  do  to  bet  on  in  any  company  next  year.  He  is  a  perfect 
line  trotter,  and  was  kept  from  the  Eastern  trip  in  order  to 
get  him  in  perfect  shape  for  the  races  this  year.  Col.  H.  I. 
Thornton  bred  and  raised  him,  as  well  as  the  black  gelding 
Reflector,  by  Director,  that  is  also  in  Mr.  Salisbury's  string  to 
be  prepared  for  the  races  next  fall. 

In  the  stalls  facing  the  square  adjoining  the  course  were  to 
be  seen  a  number  of  weanlings  by  Monbars,  Sidney,  Direct, 
Directum  and  Eclectic.  In  the  big  paddock  were  mares  that 
represented  every  fashionable  breed  in  California,  all  in  foal 
to  the  Pleasantou  Farm  stallions.  Each  one  looked  as  if  she 
had  received  Superintendent  Neal's  personal  care,  and  when 
the  foals  begin  to  come  no  happier  man  in  California  will  be 
found  tban  he. 

Before  looking  at  the  other  horses  I  asked  Mr.  Salisbury 
to  give  me  his  opinion  of  the  trotting  horse  business,  he  an- 
swered :  *'  I  like  it  better  than  I  ever  did.  Breeders  who 
have  heretofore  depended  on  breeding  for  pedigrees  without 
training  for  track  work,  must  take  off  their  coats  and  go  to 
work  developing  and  weeding  out  the  culls.  This  is  a  plain 
business  proposition,  and  .the  sooner  they  begin  to  realize 
this  the  better.  The  benefits  of  breeding  to  get  campaigners  (by 
getting  plenty  of  thoroughbred  in  the  trotter)  will  be  better 


place.     He  had  lengthened  and  looked  i(  more  ready  "  and  I  established  from  this  time  on  in  the  opinions  of  every  horse 
fit  to  trot  the  hardest  race  of  his  life  than  I  had  ever  seen 
him.    His  head  was  clean  and  neck  finer;  his  limbs  and  feet 


were  like  a  thoroughbred's,  only  stronger-looking.  No  traces 
of  the  long  and  arduous  trips  he  made  against  old  "  Father 
Time  "  or  the  kings  and  queens  among  the  trotters  and  pacers 
he  met  in  races  across  the  Rocky  Mountains  were  discernible. 
The  "  chain  theory  "  was  exploded  by  the  simple  answers  of 
Mr.  Salisbury,  Johnny  Kelly  and  W.  Murry,  his  devoted 
attendant.  "  Why  should  he  be  whipped  with  a  chain  ?  He 
never  did  a  thing  to  deserve  it,  and  a  better-feeling  horse 
coming  down  the  homestretch  never  lived ;  he  needed  very 
little  preliminary  work,  and  never  had  but  one  work-out  pre- 
vious to  going  into  his  races.  He  improved  in  every  race  he 
started,  and  next  year  he  will,  if  necessary,  lower  every  rec- 
ord from  the  ten-mile  mark  down."  This  was  the  consensus 
of  opinions  expressed  by  these  three  men  who  almost  worship 
the  "  Black  Meteor." 

A  curious  fact  was  shown  in  conversation  with  Mr.  Salis- 
bury about  Directum,  namely,  that  he  was  a  better  horse 
in  the  last  race  he  started  in  than  iu  any  other  of  the  year, 
and,  if  forced  to  do  so — if  he  had  anything  to  force  him  all 
the  way  to  the  wire — he  would  have  a  mark  of  2:03.  "  The 
little  fellow  likes  the  cold  weather  in  the  East,  but  he  gets 
awfully  lonesome  when  he  leaves  all  the  horses  behind  him 
on  the  homestretch,  and  if  there  was  a  real  cold  snap  and  a 
runner  beside  him  he  would  make  Queen  Nancy's  mark  look 
dim,"  was  the  way  Mr.  Salisbury  expressed  it. 

But  there  were  other  horses  to  be  looked  at.  Flying  Jib, 
with  his  2:04  mark,  looked  about  as  fit  for  a  race  as  his  sable 
companion,  and  since  he  has  been  shod  to  suit  Mr.  Kelly, 
next  year  the  two-minute  mark  will  be  in  jeopardy,  if  he  sets 
sail  for  it  and  does  not  meet  with  any  accident  in  the  mean- 
time. 

A  number  of  the  horses  Mr.  Salisbury  brought  back  with 
him  have  been  sent  to  their  respective  owners,  so  Little  Di- 
rect as  fat  as  butter,  looking  more  in  body  and  neck  like  a 
Percheron  set  on  the  limbs  of  a  thoroughbred,  came  out 
prancing,  dancing  and  looking  as  unlike  the  Direct  that 
astonished  the  trotting  world  two  years  ago  as  a  horse  possi- 
bly could.  The  same  wife  head,  large  eye,  wide  jowls,  small 
clean  and  active  ear,  could  not  be  mistaken,  and  as  he  is  soon 
to  "undergo  training"  to  melt  the  fat  of  eighteen  month's 
accumulation  and  take  on  ruuwcle  preparatory  to  going  East, 
the  first  thing  noticed  was  the  ankle  that  bothered  him, 
it  looks  very  well,  and,  if  it  is  as  good  as  everyone  believes  it 
is,  this  fellow  will  pass  every  pacer  he  meets  in  the  East  this 
year.  Mr. Salisbury  says  he  never  looks  at  the  little  fellow 
without  almost  wishing  to  beg  his  pardon,  for  when  Direct 
was  put  in  training  he  did  not  know  as  much  as  he  does  now. 
The  little  fellow  used  to  have  his  thirty-two  ounce  shoes  on  all 
the  time,  and  mile  after  mile  he  would  be  trotted  every  other 
day  without  b  letup.  The  shoes  were  never  removed  and  all 
attempt*  to  lighten  them  seemed  out  of  the  question,  lie 
«ayn  he  gave  Direct  more  hard  work  in  one  month  than  he 
ever  gave  Directum  since  he  had  charge  of  him,  and  every- 
one who  remembers  the  different  systems  of  training  then  in 
vogue  and  now,  agrees  with  Mr.  Salisbury.  How  Direct  stood 
up  under  all  this  treatment  is  almost  marvelous,  for  in  all 
big  races,  whether  trotting  or  pacing,  he  never  made  a  mis- 
take. Mr.  Salisbury  said  when  he  got  Director  he  never 
cared  for  another  wire  mile--  the  horse  got  a  mark  of  2:10, 
tenth,  on  account  of  Direct's  size  and  the  fact  that  he 
[ng  him  every  year,  he  did  not  breed  him  until  I  593  , 
He  bred  him  losix  mares  but  none  of  them  could  trot  a  pace 
in  four  mlnotes.  There  arc  live  of  the  produce  of  that  ''year's 
crop"  at  Plea  <n,  and  as  they  are  a  good  criterion  to 
judge  of  his  merit    as  a  wire,  I  have  no  hesitancy  in  asserting 


man  who  wishes  to  make  a  success  of  breediug,  raising  and 
racing  trotters  and  pacers.     The  day  of  breeding  for  2:30  trot- 


ters has  passed  ;  we  want  the  2:10  and  the  2:05  kind  now. 
Nothing  else  will  do.  Greater  interest  is  being  taken  in  the 
business  in  the  East  than  ever  and  every  horse,  good  or  bad, 
will  bring  its  value.  I  have  learned  that  for  campaigners 
horses  of  the  stamp  of  Palo  Alto-Directum  are  the  ones 
to  rely  upon  in  every  race." 

Going  over  to  the  stall  where  Diablo,  2:09},  the  champion 
four-year-old  pacing  stallion,  was  domiciled,  Wm.  Murray, 
his  owner,  led  him  out  for  inspection.  He  has  his  winter 
coat  of  hair  on,  but  it  was  smooth  as  a  mole's.  Diablo  has 
grown  and  filled  out  considerably  since  his  last  appearance 
on  the  track  at  Stockton.  He  is  of  a  different  build  from  the 
Directors  and  is,  as  Samuel  Gamble  says,  one  of  tbe  very  few 
really  great  horses  that  is  sure  to  become  one  of  the  greatest 
of  speed  producers.  He  has  nothing  deficient  about  him  from 
the  broad,  brainy  forehead  to  his  heels.  He  is  a  "  perfectly 
balanced  horse  in  every  respect  "  and  already  his  merits  as  a 
royally-bred,  perfectly-formed  and  game  race  horse  have  at- 
tracted the  attention  of  owners  of  well-bred  mares,and  a  large 
number  cf  the  fastest  turf  performers  in  California  will  be 
bred  to  this  son  of  Chas.  Derby,  2:20,  this  spring. 

Mr.  Murray  has  a  green  pacing  mare  by  Cresco  that  he 
thinks  will  make  a  fast  one;  he  is  jogging  her  a  little  every 
day  over  the  track.  The  broodmares  that  are  to  be  stinted 
to  Diablo  are  kept  in  a  splendid  alfalfa  field  about  a  quarter 
of  a  mile  from  the  track. 

With  Dr.  Latham  and  Monroe  Salisbury  I  rode  over  to  the 
famous  Valensin  Farm  to  take  a  look  at  the  various  brood- 
mares, colts  and  fillies  to  be  sold  at  auction  next  Monday. 
Owners  of  stallions  who  are  desirous  of  breeding  them  to  first- 
class  well-bred  mares — and  who  does  not — cannot  afiord  to  let 
ibis  sale  pass  without  attending  it.  There  are  mares  here  by 
such  sires  as  Brown  Wilkes,  Sterling,  Valensin,  Pilot  Medium, 
Hambletonian  725,  A.  W.  Richmond,  Buccaneer,  Abboltsford, 
Privateer,  The  Moor  and  Sidney.  These  mares  are  all  out  of 
well-bred  dams,  and  were  selected  by  that  great  judge  of  horse 
flesh,  the  late  G.  Valensin.  Most  of  them  are  safe  in  foal  to  : 
Direct  Line,  2:293,  a  grandly-bred  son  of  the  mighty  Direc- 
tor. Then  there  are  yearling  colts  and  fillies  by  Sidney,  Dic- 
tator-Sidney, Durfee  11,256  and  Prompter,  that  are  fit  to  be  | 
placed  on  any  track  or  stock  farm  in  the  land,  and  besides  | 
these  there  are  some  work  horses,  saddle  horses,  road  wagons. 


Her  last  colt  by  Richard's  Elector  is  a  good-sized,  strongly- 
made  fellow  resembling  his  illustrious  sire  to  a  remarkable 
degree.  He  has  shown  extreme  speed  on  the  Pleasanton 
track,  and  in  a  year  or  two  will  go  down  the  line  with  the 
best  of  our  trotters.  Stemwinder  is  safe  with  foal  to  Direct, 
and  as  she  is  the  best-producing  mare  this  little  horse  was 
bred  to  last  year  great  hopes  are  entertained  by  her  proud 
owner  and  Mr.  Salisbury  that  it  will  be  a  wonder,  in  fact, 
even  a  better  horse  than  Directum,  if  such  a  thing  is  possible. 
Mr.  Green  has  a  beautiful  farm,  with  a  fine  large  residence, 
orchard,  vineyard,  paddocks,  etc.,  making  it  in  every  way  a 
model  place.  It  adjoins  the  far-famed  Doughterty  farm  and  is 
one  of  the  choicest  locations  in  the  valley. 

Bidding  Mr.  Green  good  day,  we  turned  our  horses'  heads 
towards  Pleasanton  over  the  hillside  road.  It  did  not  take 
us  long  to  once  more  get  where  "  speed  was  to  be  found,"  for 
Andy  McDowell,  the  well-known  trainer  and  driver,  has  just 
had  erected  a  residence  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  the 
Pleas?nton  track.  Back  of  the  garden  he  has  built  a  number 
of  box-stalls  and  in  these  Orrin  A.  Hickok  has  stabled  his 
string  of  trotters  and  pacers.  This  noted  driver  and  genial 
Andy  took  pleasure  in  showing  us  the  equine  gems  in  their 
charge.  The  first  looked  at  was  a  two-year-old  by  Whips  out 
of  Norab,  by  Messenger  Duroc.  She  is  a  large,  rangy-looking 
bay  filly,  with  two  white  ankles,  and  Mr.  Hickok  answered 
the  question,  "How  does  she  move?"  by  saying  "she  is  a  rat- 
tling good  one  and  suits  me."  Whips  never  had  a  stronger 
friend  than  Mr.  Hickok,  for  in  his  belief  he  will  be  the  great 
sire  of  game  racehorses  from  Palo  Alto. 

A  smoothly  turned  lookingson  of  Director  out  of  a  mare  by 
Dexter  Prince,  that  belongs  to  Mr.  Mclvor  of  Mission  San 
Jose,  was  next  inspected,  and  from  his  appearance,  gait  and 
breeding  he  ought  to  be  a  great  horse  this  year. 

His  balf-sister,by  Sable  Wilkes,that  belongs  to  the  same  gen- 
tleman, is  also  a  good  one.  Mr.  Hickok  has  a  three-year-old 
filly  by  Wilton  called  Token,  that  will  be  handled  this  win- 
ter. 

A  big  bay  two-year-old  filly  by  Stamboul  out  of  the  dam  of 
Hulda,  attracted  my  attention  by  her  size  and  general  race 
horse  appearance.  Resembling  the  Sultan  family  more  than 
she  did  that  of  her  dam's,  she  appears  as  if  she  ought  to  be  a 
world-beater.  Limbs  and  feet  that  are  perfect,  a  magnificent 
shoulder,  splendid  breast,  long,  muscular  arms  and  gaskins, 
excellent  joints,  deep  barrel  and  great  girth.  She  is  all  that 
one  could  expect  from  such  a  union. 

Argenta,  by  Steinway,  is  a  pacer  ot  the  Cricket  order,  aud 
unless  all  signs  fail,  will  make  a  yery  low  mark  this  year. 
Silicon,  2:15$,  was  the  next  royally-bred  filly  looked  at  and 
a  more  perfect  type  of  a  race  mare  would  be  difficult  to  find 
anywhere.  Seal  brown  in  color,  and  as  smooth  looking  as  if 
made  to  order,  not  a  deficient  spot  or  weakness  about  her. 
Since  her  arrival  she  has  improved  in  every  one  of  her  many 
strong  points  about  fifty  per  cent. 

In  Andy  McDowell's  string  there  is  the  great  Edenia,  2:13f, 
looking  for  all  the  world  like  a  big  strong  broodmare  after  a 
run  on  the  hills  without  having  to  take  care  of  a  foal.  Andy 
is  giving  her  a  long  and  much-needed  rest,  but  when  the  bell 
rings  he  will  have  her  ready. 

In  an  adjoining  stall  is  a  good-sized,  strong-limbed  Sidney, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Antelope,  son  of  Anteeo. 

In  the  next  one  is  a  Director,  out  of  Almonta,  by  Almont. 
This  one  belongs  to  H.  Hart  and  is  like  all  the  Directors,  a 
race  horse. 

The  last  one  looked  at  is  Andy  McDowell's  Hebrew  side- 
wheeler.  Roman  nose  audgit-thar  ability  are  his  characteris- 
tics. Andy  says  when  he  got  the  Bkeeder  and  Spobts* 
man  containing  the  splendid  programme  for  the  fall  meeting 
he  brought  it  to  the  stall  and  read  the  splendid  conditions  of 
the  races  to  Jakey,  and  from  that  time  on  he  has  had  all  he 
could  do  to  keep  him  quiet.  He  wants  to  go  in  training  for 
the  pacing  events.  Leaving  all  joking  aside,  Jakey  Einstein 
is  a  grand-looking  colt,  and  will  be  the  first  to  catch  the 
judge's  eye  this  fall  in  tbe  first  race  he  starts  in.  It  was  get- 
ting late  and  the  train  would  soon  be  at  the  depot,  so  regret- 
fully bidding  adieu  to  our  kind  friends,  we  were  soon  on  the 
train  going  toward  the  city,  leaving  behind  a  promise  to 
all  to  "  come  soon  again."  Arnaree. 


Col.  H.  I.  Thornton  says  he  will  send  the  great  trotting 
stallion,  Jas.  Madison,  2:17$,  to  Los  Angeles  this  year  if  he 
does  not  sell  him,  James  Madison  is  one  of  the  best  sires  of 
good-sized,  level-headed,  pure-gaited  and  fast  trotting  colts 
and  fillies  in  California,  and  every  one  who  has  bred  a  mare

can  find  many  things  that  will  be  useful  to  them.     There  is  j  chen  Jr.;  second  dam  Fanny  Branham,  by  American   Boy 


an  Abbottsford  mare  and  a  Sidney  colt  to  be  sold  also  that 
should  bring  good  prices;  the  mare  is  one  of  the  best  road- 
sters in  the  State.  No  better  stock  farm  in  California  can  be 
found  than  this  one,  which  is  offered  for  sale  at  a  figure  far 
below  the  actual  cost  and  the  price  paid  for  improvements. 
It  is  one  of  the  best  places  in  the  United  States  to  breed 
and  develop  trotters.  The  fields  of  alfaifa,  rye  grass,  barley 
and  oats  are  unsurpassed  on  any  stock  farm  of  equal  size  iu 
California,  and  the  appearance  of  the  stock  is  the  best  proof 
of  the  value  of  this  place  and  climate  for  the  purposes  for 
which  it  is  intended. 
The  next  morning  behind  a  team  of  good  horseB  we  rode 


Jr.;  third  dam  Puss  (dam  of  Lady  Bell,  one  of  Palo  Alto's

out  of  a  daughter  of  Crusader.  James  Madison's  progeny

Annual  Meeting  of  P.  C.  B.  H.  A. 

About  eighty  members  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse 
Association  met  at  the  Pal  ace  Tuesday  night.  It  was  rumored 
that  there  would  be  an  exciting  time  at  this  annual  meeting 
and  the  Board  of  Directors  were  to  be  questioned  as  to  several 
acts  which  a  number  of  members  believed  were  not  in  accor- 
dance with  the  laws  of  the  association  and  were  bringing  it 
into  disrepute.  The  election  of  officers  for  the  ensuing  year, 
however,  seemed  to  be  the  principal  order  of  business  for  the 
evening.  The  report  of  the  Secretary  was  read  by  President 
"Williams  and  was  at  follows:

On  mctionthe  report  was  adopted.  Henry  Schwartz  offered 
a  resolution  that  the  directors  be  requested  and  instructed 
that  owing  to  the  dissatisfaction  shown  by  many  of  the  mem- 
bers to  the  work  done  by  Starter  Ferguson  that  be  be  not  em- 
ployed by  the  Association  at  any  of  the  race  meetings  to  be 
held  hereafter. 

This  resolution  was  laid  on  the  table.  Election  of  Board 
of  Directors  now  being  the  next  order  of  business,  Henry 
Acher  moved  that  the  Board  be  elected  by  acclamation. 
Chas.  F.  Hanlon  made  an  amendment  to  this  that  the 
election  be  by  ballot.  The  amendment  was  lost,  and  the 
motion  to  elect  viva  voce  carried. 

In  addition  to  the  old  board  W.  O'B.  Macdonougb,  Frank 
Burke,  Dan  Burns,  Charles  Boots  and  J.  L.  Kathbone,  were 
put  in  nomination. 

When  the  roll  was  called  sixty  members  voted  for  the  "Old 
Board,''"  straight,  and  twenty-two  voted  for  the  substitutes  for 
the  members  of  the  old  Board.  On  motion  the  old  Board  was 
declared  elected  unanimously.  It  consists  of  Thos  Williams, 
Adolph  Spreckels,  James  L.  Flood,  L.  Lissak,  W.  W.  Brown, 
P.  B.  Quinlan  and  J.  Naglee  Burke. 

After  the  election  the  oid  Board  was  congratulated  on  the 
admirable  work  of  the  past  year.  Then  President  Williams 
arose  and  thanked  the  members  for  their  vote  of  confidence, 
and  added,  "  I  wanted  the  old  Board,  that  is  the  truth ;  there 
are  a  thousand  and  one  annoyances  about  this  business  to 
combat  with,  that  very  few  can  understand.  I  know  what  the 
old  Board  is  composed  of,  and  we  get  along  in  har- 
mony. I  know  there  are  among  the  number  nominated 
very  capable  men.  just  as  capable,  and  perhaps  more  so,  than 
I  am,  for  I  do  not  believe  that  I  am  infallible.  If  any  of 
these  were  elected  and  were  continually  finding  fault  with 
what  might  come  before  the  Board,  it  would  be  disagreeable 
to  get  along.  Now  another  thing  I  wish  to  say  in  regard  to  the 
newspaper  comments  on  the  extravagance  of  our  expenditures. 
There  has  not  been  one  dollar  spent  at  the  Bay  District  with- 
out serious  thought.  After  the  Spring  meeting  the  track  was 
unfit  for  racing  and  the  buildings  old  and  tumbling  down 
After  mature  deliberation  we  decided  to  expend  money 
enough  to  make  the  place  suitable  to  hold  our  winter  meet- 
ings, and  offer  sums  of  money  large  enough  to  induce  the 
leading  Eastern  horse  .  Owners  t,o  come  to  this 
Coast.  Even         with  all  this         I        believe 

the  track  and  improvements  are  far  from  being  what  they 
should  be.  I  want  to  add  that  notwithstanding  all  this  talk 
about  closing  the  track  at  thirty  days'  notice  for  the  purpose 
of  cutting  streets  through  it  and  so  forth,  if  any  members 
think  that  we  have  gone  to  too  much  expense,  I  wish  to  state 
that  I  will  pay  every  dollar  of  the  indebtedness 
and  take  the  track  off  the  bands  of  the  association  at  once, 
and  it  cannot  be  turned  over  to  me  too  quick.  I  consider  it 
a  good  business  proposition,  and  I  am  willing  to  take  it.  I 
have^talked  with  Mr.  E.  Corrigan.Mr.  P.  Dwyer  and  other 
Eastern  horse-owners,  aDd  they  all  state  that  California  is 
destined  to  be  the  great  winter  racing  point  in  America. 

The  meeting  adjourned  without  taking  action  on  Mr. 
Schwartz's  resolution.

Riverside  Polo  Club  Races. 


[Special  Corresondence  of  Beeeder  and  Sportsman.] 


Riverside,  January  3. — The  above  races  were  brought  off 
on  January  1st  at  Hall's  track,  Riverside.  The  recent  rains 
has  made  the  track  exceedingly  slow  as  was  evidenced  by  the 
facts  that  Grey  Jim  with  a  mark  of  2:29*  could  go  no  faster 
than  2:37*  in  the  2:30  trot ;  and  the  big  horses  in  the  open 
three-quarters  of  a  mile  carrying  racing  weights  were  whipped 
out  in  1:21*. 

Proceedings  commenced  with  a  three-quarter  mile  handi- 
cip  for  ponies.  The  top  weight  170  pounds  was  carried  by 
Santa  Clara,  who  was  rather  fractious  at  the  start.  Ruby  in 
receipt  of  twelve  pounds  had  the  pole  which  is  an  immense 
advantage  ou  thiB  half-mile  track.  They  got  away  well  to- 
gether, Ruby  leading,  and  Curly  and  Polly  out  of  it  from  the 
beginning.  Ruby  and  Santa'Clara  ran  together  for  five- 
eighths  when  the  whip  was  pulled  on  tbe  former,  and  the 
latter  gradually  drew  away  winning  tolerably  easily  by  about 
a  length,  without  being  touched,  in  1:2GA.  This  was  a  good 
run  considering  the  weights  and  state  of  tbe  track. 

The  next  event  was  a  hurdle  race  of  one  mile  over  eight 
three  feet  six  ihches  hurdles  for  ponies,  Baby  carrying  168 
pounds  took  the  lead,  was  whipped  over  every  jump  and 
never  being  beaded  won  by  three  lengths  in  2:184.  Honest 
Injun  was  second  three  lengths  in  front  of  Bill.     The  race 


was  rather  a  procession,  but  all  the  ponies  jumped  well  and 
the  jocks  covered  themselves  with  glory,  especially  F.  Weber 
who  rode  the  winner. 

The  mile  handicap  for  ponies  followed.  Peanuts,  a  pony 
that  has  never  previously  been  "beaten,  carried  107  pounds 
(seventeen  pounds  in  advance  of  Kittiwake),  but  in  spite  of 
this  was  a  top-heavy  favorite.  He  had  the  coveted  position 
on  the  pole.  He  and  Kittiwake  raced  together  for  three-quar- 
ters of  a  mile  when  Peanuts  began  to  stop  and  Kittiwake 
drawing  away  won  easily  and  held  by  about  four  lengths.  It 
was  a  good  race  for  three-quarters  of  a  mile,  the  outcome 
hanging  in  the  balance  at  that  point. 

The  2:30  open  trot  was  a  gift  to  Grey  Jim.  However, 
Moxie  pushed  him  hard  in  the  first  heat  and  he  lost  one  to 
Ike  through  part  of  the  harness  breaking. 

The  open  three  quarter  mile  for  horses  resulted  in  a  good 
finish,  though  the  start  was  a  shocking  bad  one.  Indian  was 
allowed  to  gallop  all  round  the  track,  and  coming  up  to  the 
start  at  top  speed  caught  Dr.  Crawford  and  Telephone  almost 
standing  still.  But  the  flag  went  down  with  the  result  that 
before  they  had  gone  a  hundred  yards  Indian  was  leading  by 
ten  lengths.  Dr.  Crawford  and  Telephone  ran  together  for  a 
quarter  of  a  mile,  where  Dr.  Crawford  cut  across  and  cer- 
tainly justified  a  claim  of  foul,  which,  however,  was  not  made. 
Indian  was  not  caught  until  an  eighth  from  home,  from 
which  point  he  and  Dr.  Crawford  ran  locked  together,  the 
latter  just  getting  his  nose  in  front  at  the  wire.  Telephone 
was  a  length  behind  the  pair,  and  would  have  been  second 
but  for  the  bad  start. 

The  racing  throughout  was  excellent,  but  the  attendance 
was  poor.  Mr.  Baker  rode  with  great  judgment  and  F. 
Weber  also  did  very  well.

Our  San  Diego  Letter. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. J 

San  Diego,  Jan.  2. — The  inaugural  meeting  of  the  Sweet- 
water Track  Association,  which  was  originally  set  for  Christ- 
mas and  the  day  following,  had  to  be  postponed  on  account 
of  the  rain,  to  Friday  and  Saturday,  December  29  and  30, 
with  some  unfinished  events  carried  over  until  January  1. 

The  new  track  is  located  on  the  sand  flats  facing  the  bay, 
and  about  half  a  mile  beyond  National  City.  Ralph  Granger 
is  President  of  the  Association,  and  everything  has  been  done 
in  first-class  style.  Although  the  track  lies  almost  at  sea 
level,  it  has  good  drainage,  dries  quickly  and  cannot  fail  to  be 
fast  when  fairly  seasoned. 

Among  the  outside  and  special  attractions  of  the  meeting 
was  a  Russian  trotting  stallion,  Krakus,  brought  here  from 
New  York  by  Peter  Duryea.  It  is  claimed  the  horse  is  by 
The  Test,  the  fastest  of  all  the  Orloffs,  having  got  a  record 
equal  to  about  2.20  before  he  left  the  Czar's  country.  After 
arriving  in  Chicago,  where  he  was  exhibited  at  the  World's 
Fair,  he  trotted  a  quarter  in  0:32,  which  again  indicated  that 
he  is  something  of  a  Directum.  The  object  in  bringing  him 
here  is  to  give  him  work  this  winter  and  a  record  as  near 
two  minutes  and  as  early  as  possible. 

Krakus  weighs  nearly  1,300  pounds,  and  is  big  of  bone  and 
frame.  He  is  not  smooth  and  not  an  ideal  American  trotter, 
but  he  undoubtedly  has  speed,  which  appears  to  be  mainly 
due  to  the  fact  that  he  has  a  marvelous  faculty  of  traveling 
wonderfully  close  to  the  ground. 

The  officers  of  the  meeting  were :  Judges — J.  E.  Pleas- 
anton,  of  Santa  Ana;  C.  L.  Josselyn  and  H.  N.  Savage. 
Time-keepers— E.  B.  Gifford,  Ben  P.  Hill  and  F.  W.  Wad- 
ham. 

The  first  condition  imposed  on  entries  was  that  horses 
must  have  been  owned  in  the  county  since  October  35th. 
This  made  it,  of  course,  a  strictly  local  meeting,  and  as  we 
have  not  many  2:30  horses  down  here  no  very  fast  time  was 
made. 

The  summaries  will  tell  you  the  story  sufficiently:

Trotting  Colt  Stakes. 

The  annual  meeting  of  the  Monterey  District  Trotting 
Colt  Stakes  Association  was  held  last  Saturday  afterneon  at 
the  city  hall,  Salinas  City,  President   M.Lynn  in   the  chair. 

After  the  reading  and  approving  of  the  minutes  of  the 
present  meeting,  Treasurer  Iverson  read  the  report  of  the 
financial  transactions  of  the  association  for  the  year  1S93, 
showing  that  $1,005  had  been  paid  out,  of  which  $450  was 
for  the  two-year-old  stake  of  1893,  $295  for  the  three-year-old 
stake  of  1893,  and  $260  for  the  four-year-old  stake  of  1893. 
He  reported  on  hand  $145,  the  same  being  the  amount  of  $5 
each  on  twenty-nine  entries  for  the  stake  of  1894. 

The  election  of  officers  being  in  order,  the  old  officers  were 
re-elected  by  acclamation,  as  follows:  M.  Lynn,  president;  J. 
B.  Iverson,  treasurer;  C  Z.  Herbert,  secretary. 
i  {A  trotting  colt  stake  for  foals  of  1893,  to  be  trotted  in  1895, 
was  opened  with  the  following  conditions:  The  stake  to  be 
open  to  Monterey,  San  Benito,  Santa  Crnz  and  San  Luis

The  Portland  Speed  and  Driving   Association. 

About  a  year  ago  a  few  of  Portland's  energetic  business 
men  organized  and  incorporated  the  Portland  Speed  aud 
Driving  Association.  Notwithstanding  the  spring  was  an 
unusual  backward  one,  the  association,  at  a  cost  of  near  $30,- 
000,  built  out  of  the  raw  material  the  Irvington  Park  track, 
together  with  every  convenience.  So  complete  did  it  do  its 
work  that  its  new  grounds  at  once  became  a  recognized  enter- 
prise, not  only  here,  but  throughout  the  whole  country.  Its 
June  and  Fall  meeting  proved  in  all  things  a  success  but  one, 
and  that  was  that  some  of  the  races  were  thought  not  to  be 
on  the  square.  Our  motto  is,  "  let  the  dead  bury  the  dead," 
for  if  anyone  did  wrong  the  wrong  will  keep  them  company, 
and  that  is  an  association  we  have  always  tried  to  stear  clear 
of. 

The  new  Board  ol  Directors,  consisting  of  A.  C.  Lohmire, 
L.  P.  W.  Quimby,  A.  G.  Ryan,  G.  W.  Bates,  E.  B.  Smith,  P. 
J.  Mann,  H.  H.  Emmons,  has  been  elected,  and  it,  on  last 
Friday,  elected  L.  P.  W.  Quimby,  President  ;  P.  J.  Mann, 
Vice-President:  G.  W.  Bates,  Treasurer ;  H.  H.  Emmons, 
Secretary.  These  gentlemen  are  too  well-known  to  need  any 
recommendations.  They  are  all  gentlemen  of  affairs,  they 
are  an  element,  a  constituent,  so  to  speak,  in  which  and 
with  which  jobbers  cannot  affiliate. 

With  these  facts  before  us,  the  Rural  Spirit  has  no  fears 
but  what  all  racing  under  tbe  supervision  of  this  association 
will  be  satisfactory. — Portland  Rural  Spirit.

The  campaign  of  Phrebe  Wilkes,  daughter  of  Hambletoniau 
Wilkes,  the  pastseason  began  at  Rockford,  111.,  in  June,  when

trotting  the  last  three  of  the  four  heats  in  2:14],  2:14]  and

Saturday  and  finished  Monday,  her  winning  heats  being  in 
2:12*,  2:12V  and  2:13;  at  Rochester  she  was  fourth  to  Walter 
E.,  Little  Albert  and  Ryland  T;  at  Springfield  third  to  Wal-

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACE*. 


EIGHTH    DAY — WEDNESDAY,  JANUARY  10. 

NE  little  favorite  ran  in  a  wioner 
this  beautiful  day,  and  that  was  all 
in  five  races.  Long  shots  tumbled 
in  upon  long  shots,  and  the  very 
longest  of  the  day  was  in  the  con- 
cluding event,  when  Chartreuse,  at 
30  to  1,  simply  made  a  show  of  her 
field.  The  track  is  fast  getting 
"  fast,"  and  in  two  days  time  some 
of  the  local  records  should  be 
cracked  over  the  greatly-improved  course.  The  attendance 
was  as  good  as  the  racing,  and  that  was  saying  a  great  deal. 
In  four  of  the  events  the  fields  were  of  good  size,  and  as  fav- 
orites were  at  a  discount,  that  the  books  won  well  goes  without 
saying. 

Lottie  D.  won  the  first  race  with  ease  and  in  fast  time  from 
the  favorite,  Tim  Murphy,  leading  her  all  the  way. 

Lonnie  B.  upset  a  good  thing  when  she  beat  the  heavily- 
played  Abi  P.  Castro  led  to  the  homestretch,  where  Braw 
Scott  took  command  of  things.  Then  Lounie  B.,  on  the  out- 
side, came  like  a  blue  streak,  and  won  quite  handily.  Abi  P. 
looked  like  a  winner  a  furlong  from  home,  but  shut  up 
badly. 

Imp.  Stromboli  is  a  grand  race  horse.  He  demonstrated 
that  most  conclusively  to-day  when  he  galloped  in  an  easy 
winner  over  such  fleet  ones  as  Glee  Boy,  Romulus,  Peril, 
Realization  and  Monowai.  The  ease  with  which  this  great 
Australian  horse  disposed  of  the  abDve-named  competitors 
would  lead  one  to  think  that  no  horse  among  the  700  or  more 
housed  at  the  local  course  has  any  license  to  beat  Stromboli 
at  even  weights  any  distance  from  six  furl  ongs  to  tbree  miles. 
Too  much  credit  cannot  be  given  the  young  trainer  of  rhis 
giant  race  horse,  Dan  Halliday,  who  has  persevered  wonder- 
fully with  the  Sydney  Cup  winner,  who,  when  brought  to 
this  country,  was  only  intended  for  the  stud,  being  thought 
broken  down  for  good. 

The  favorite,  Seville,  a  new-comer  to  California,  won  the 
fourth  race  easily,  after  Ato-^a.  all  but  last  at  the  start,  had 
run  around  her  field  and  led  in  the  homestretch  by  a  good 
length.  Esperance  fell  to  the  rear  bunch,  then  came  again 
and  got  the  place  as  easily  as  Seville  won  the  race.  Lady 
Gwenn  finished  third. 

The  last  race  of  the  day  was  captured  by  a  30  to  1  shot, 
Chartreuse,  from  the  Macdonough  stable.  She  won  by  four 
lengths  from  Guard,  a  fast  sprinter  who  made  his  first  appear- 
ance here  to-day.  The  field  was  very  large,  and  although 
they  got  away  well  bunched,  the  chances  of  those  off  in  the 
rear  went  glimmering.  Clara  White,  second  choice,  was  one 
of  the  unfortunates.      Gladiator  was  third. 

The  successful  jockeys  to-day  were  Spence,  F.  Carr,  E. 
Morris,  Ieom  and  Piggott. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

There  were  four  scratches  in  the  first  race,  five  furlongs, 
selling,  they  doubtless  being  scared  out  bv  Tim  Murphy  and 
Lottie  D.  Murphv  was  an  odds-on  favorite,  closing  at  7  to 
10,  Lottie  D.  at  the  false  odds  of  2A  to  1.  To  a  good  start 
Lottie  D.  led,  with  Tim  Murphy  second  and  Motto  third. 
Lottie  D.  led  Murphy  by  half  a  length  at  the  half-pole,  by 
two  lengths  three  furlongs  from  borne,  same  in  the  home- 
stretch, where  Murphy,  ridden  hard,  managed  to  gain  just  a 
trifle,  Lottie  I>  winning  easily  by  one  and  a  half  lengths  in 
the  cracking  good  time  of  LOU,  Tim  Murphy  second,  four 
lengths  from  Joe  Cotton.    Time,  1:01  A.

Only  two  of  the  ten  entereJ  declined  the  issue  in  the  sec- 
ond race.     These  were  Fnrn  and  Sympathetic^  Last.     The 
distance  was  at  about  six  furlnngH,  and  I  he  eight  starters  did 
considerable  scoring  before  Starter  Ferguson  got    them  to- 
gether in    Anything     like  satisfactory     fashion.       Then    he 
dropned  the  little  red  Hag  and  the  field  went  away  in  a  close 
bunch,  with  ISraw  Scot  first  to  show,  foMowed  by  Castro,  Lon- 
nie B.,  Abi    P.  and  the  others  in  close  order.     Making  the 
first  furlong  Castro  got  to  the  front,  and  as  they  rounded  the 
far  turn  Hraw  Scott  again  assumed   the   leadership,  the  field 
meanwhile  taking  a  straggling  argument  in  this  order.     Hraw 
Scott  ltd,  with  Cnslrn  at  his  saddle  skirts,  then  came  Alii    l\ 
a  leek  away,  and  half  a  length  En  Fronl  of  Lbnnie  Ii.  She  was 
fallowed  by  Victress  and  Knrtiinn,  hot h    lapped  on  the   long

'uroing  into  the  stretch  they  be^an  tailing  out,  with  Lonnie 
J.  corning  on  the  ex'remfl  outside,  and  making  a  race  worthy 
'"remembrance,  won   by  a  neck,  with  Hraw  Scott  second,  a

A  handicap,  about  six  furlongs,  followed.  Realization  was 
a  slight  favorite  over  Peril  and  Glee  Boy.  Stromboli,  the 
famous  Australian  horse,  opened  at  15  to  1,  and  closed  at  6 
and  8  to  1,  so  heavy  was  the  play  on  him.  Glee  Boy  and 
White  Stone  delayed  the  start  for  some  time.  At  length  the 
flag  fell  to  a  good  start,  the  order  being  Realization,  Strom- 
boli, Romulus.  At  the  half-pole  Realization  led  by  two 
lengths,  Peril  second,  half  a  length  from  Stromboli.  The  lat-  I 
ter  ran  up  very  fast  into  the  homestretch  by  a  length.  Com- 
ing on  very  strong,  Stromboli  simply  landed  the  money  in  a 
great  big  gallop  by  two  and  a  half  lengths,  Glee  Boy  second, 
three  from  Romulus,  who  was  a  length  from  Monowai.  Time, 
1:13^.  Stromboli's  victory  was  one  of  the  most  commanding 
of  the  winter  racing  season.

The  fourth  race,  one  mile,  selling,  brought  out  nine  starters. 
Seville  was  an  even-money  favorite,  St.  Patrick  second  choice 
at  5  to  1,  Esperance  nest  in  demand  at  6  to  1.  To  a  good 
start  Alliance  led  with  Nellie  G.  second  and  Esperance  pass- 
ing the  Quarter.  The  latter  fell  back  into  sixth  place  and 
then  came  up  again.  April  led  at  the  half-pole  by  a  head, 
with  Nellie  G.  second,  a  head  from  Alliance,  who  was  three 
lengths  from  Seville.  Atossa  no"v  ran  up  rapidly  from  the 
rear,  and  was  leading  by  a  couple  of  lengths  at  the  head  of 
the  homestretch,  with  Seville  now  second,  a  length  from  Al- 
liance. Atossa  led  by  three  lengths  three  furlongs  from 
home,  and  shouts  went  up  for  Donathau's  imported  mare, 
Seville  second,  half  alength  from  Esperance,  who  had  come 
again.  Seville  went  by  Atossa,  who  tired  badly,  about  a  six- 
teenth from  home,  and  coming  on,  won  easily  by  three  lengths 
from  Esperance,  he  four  from  Lady  Gwenn,  who  was  half  a

The  last  race  of  the  day  brought  out  a  field  of  fourteen  to 
run  five  furlongs.  Guard  was  the  favorite,,  with  Clara  White 
a  strong  second  choice.  Chartreuse  was  at  30  to  1  straight, 
12  to  1  place,  4  to  1  for  a  show.  After  a  delay  that  was  ex- 
pected the  flag  fell  to  a  fair  start,  the  order  being  Gladiator, 
Chartreuse,  Guard,  Monarch.  At  the  half-pole  Chartreuse 
led  by  a  head,  Monarch  second,  a  length  from  Shamrock, 
Gladiator  and  Guard  close  up.  There  was  little  change  until 
nearing  the  homestretch,  where  Chartreuse  was  leading  three 
lengths,  Monarch  second,  two  lengths  from  Guard,  he  half  a 
length  from  Gladiator.  Chartreuse,  with  great  and  astonish- 
ing ease,  won  by  four  lengths,  and  Monarch  fell  back  in  the 
straight,  Guard  coming  on  and  securing  the  place,  beating 
old  Gladiator  out  a  length.  Seaside  ran  a  good  race,  getting

NINTH  DAY — THURSDAY,  JANUARY  11. 

Starting  surprises  were  sprung  on  a  large  crowd  of  un- 
suspecting, enthusiastic  racegoers  this  truly  beautiful  after- 
noon. Ja  Ja  opened  the  ball,  Gussie  caused  many  a  hair  to 
turn  gray,  while  old  Gladiator  gave  a  blue-black  eye  to  the  tal- 
ent. The  track  was  verging  on  its  fastest  stage,  and  it  can 
now  fairly  be  said  that  it  is  about  at  its  best,  which  is  saying 
a  good  deal,  lor  Bay  District  track  has  in  years  agone  de- 
served to  be  called  one  of  the  best  for,  record-making  in 
America.  The  attendance  this  afternoon  must  have  been  close 
to  3,000,  and  the  bookmakers  drove  a  thriving  trade.  In- 
cidentally they  kept  most  of  the  money,  the  only  race  where 
they  might  have  been  hit  hard  being  the  first,  whereJa  Ja, 
a  heavily-played  horse,'won  the  money. 

Ja  Ja  had  an  easy  thing  in  the  opening  event,  waiting  on 
Conde  until  reaching  the  homestretch,  then  coming  away  and 
winning  as  he  pleased.  Conde  got  the  place  and  Abi  P., 
who  was  well-played  to  win,  finished  third.  Bridal  Veil  got 
oil"  poorly,  was  pocketed  aud  knocked  about,  so  that  all  her 
chances,  which  looked  rosy,  glimmered.  Ja  Ja  was  played 
down  in  the  books  from  G  to  1  to  9  to  5,  so  that  it  can  be 
imagined  what  amount  of  money  must  have  gone  in  on  the 
gelding  that  made  his  first  appearance  here  to-day. 

Happy  Day  won  the  second  race  as  he  pleased,  lying  back 
fourth  to  the  homestretch,  where  he  came  through  with  that 
grand  old  nidi  of  his.  Zenobia,  a  new-comer,  with  one 
pound  more  weight  up  than  the  winner,  ran  a  cracking  good 
race  for  the  first  time  out  in  quite  a  long  time. 


Gussie  won  the  third  race  by  a  nose  from  Amida,  who  got 
away  last  and  ran  around  her  field  in  fine  style.  Both  of  these 
fillies  were  at  long  odds — in  fact,  were  the  longest  shots  of  the 
day.  Wandering  Nun,  the  favorite,  ran  well  to  the 
homestretch,  where  she  showed  her  lack  of  condition.  White- 
Btone  was  pocketed  badly,  which  accounts  for  his  poor 
showing. 

Cito,  at  the  good  odds  of  3i  to  1,  led  all  the  way  in  the 
steeplechase,  winning  a  good  race  by  four  lengths  very  easily, 
Longwell  getting  the  place,  the  favorite,  Templemore,  finish- 
ing a  poor  third. 

The  last  race  ot  the  day  went  to  Gladiator,  who  hauled 
down  the  money  for  Burns  &  Waterhouse  when  Faro  looked 
all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last  sixteenth  of  a  mile.  Adolph 
and  Viceroy,  along  with  Faro,  were  heavily  backed  to  win 
this  race,  consequently  the  pencilers  picked  up  a  big  bundle 
of  money  on  the  result.  Gladiator  was  a  10  to  1  shot  at  the 
close. 

The  successful  pilots  to-day  were  F.  Leigh,  W.  Clancy,  All-

ST.    SAVIOUR,       IMP.    GREENBACK       AND      OWAS! 


St.  SAVIOUR. 

ST.  SAVIOUR  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
Is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Bamegat  Stakes,  1  '£  miles,  bealine  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Raritan  Slakes,  1'4  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Ernest-Mlmicoltand  four  others  in  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  raceho  se,  but  a  brother  to  the 
pbenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eolist  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savi  ur'sslre, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  Immortal  Leaming- 
ton, aire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Reform,  Blazes,  Onondaga 
and  Sensation.  St.  Saviour  has  already  demonstrated  bis  worth  at 
the  stud,  with,  comparatively  limited  opportunities,  and  owners  of 
well-bred  mares  take  no  cliauces  In  breeding  to  such  a  tried  race- 
horse and  sire. 

ST.  SAViOUR'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  UREEXBAOK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  StockweU), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satar.ella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  iu  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  raves  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  ( handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  flel<*  of 
fourteen  good  ones;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others;  beaten  a  head  for  Members' Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Tbormanby-Actresscolt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  It  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
early  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  In  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  aad,  royally-bred 
as  be  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  be  no  mistake  In 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback. 

GREENBACK'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


OWAS. 


OWAS  Is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sire  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1S93,  being  by  Reform  (son  of 
Imp.  Leamington),  dam  Maggie  B.  B-,  dam  of  Iroquois,  Harold 
Franceses,  Panique  and  Okema.  Owas  Is  thoroughly  untried,  never 
having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  full  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  besecuriKl  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
pr  >ve  iust  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  In  the  stud.  Owab  is  a 
bay  horse,  of  good  size,  a  magnificent  individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fall  lo  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  In  America,  in  all  probability.  Reform,  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Sen-Ice,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner),  La  Belle  X., 
Blushrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  turf,  while  bis  dam' 
Maggie  B.  B„  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  In  America.' 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  prove  what 
we  think  ol  this  young  horse  It  has  been  decided  to  offer 

OWAS'  SERVICES  AT  $50. 


We  offer  Good  Pasturage  at  $4  per  Month.    Marcs  will  be  Fed  Hay  and  Grain,  If  Desired,  at  Reasonable  Rates.

Men  who  have  spent  a  lifetime  among 
horses  have  Campbell's  Horse  Foot 
Remedy  applied  to  their  horses  feet 
daily,  which  promotes  the  growth  rap- 
idly and  keeps  them  soft,  but  tough 
and  elastic.  The  recommendations  we 
publish  in  our  little  booklet  should  in- 
terest any  horseowner  and  give  him 
confidence  enough  to  give  the  Remedy 
a  trial.  No  horse  having  feet  that  are 
tender  or  sore  in  any  way  will  do  good 
i  work.  This  fact  has  long  been  known 
by  all  owners. 

Campbell's  Horse  Fool  Remedy  removes  fever  and 

soreness  and  promotes  the  growth  of  the  foot  rapidly 

and  in  time  the  horsc-shoer  will  pare  off  all  dead  and 

diseased  hoof,  leaving  the  foot  in  a  healthy,  growing 

,  condition.

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


&2 


TENTH   DAT — FRIDAY,   JANUARY  12. 

NCE  more  the  talent  was  landed  in 
a  slough  of  cold  consomme. 
Favorites  were  mowed  down  by 
long  shots  in  three  of  the  five 
events  in  such  a  tantalizing  way 
that  when  the  last  race  was  over 
that  most  bettors  wondered 
whether  it  was  not  all  a  horrible 
dream  instead  of  a  stem  reality. 
Their  pockets  were  as  hollow  as 
the  Mammoth  Cave  in  Kentucky, 
and  the  bookmakers  sung  sweetly  to  each  other  that  lullaby 
they  all  love  so  well—"  Down  Went  the  Talent."  The  track 
was  as  fast  as  the  flight  of  the  proverbial  arrow,  so  that  crack- 
ing good  time  was  made  in  every  race.  Delightful  weather 
brought  out  a  great  crowd  for  an  off-day,  and  the  racing  was 
greatly  enjoyed — by  those  that  won. 

Old  Tim  Murphy  ran  like  a  scared  wolf  in  the  first  race 
setting  such  a  hot  pace  that  the  speedy  Midget  said  "  Take 
the  money!"  as  soon  as  the  homestretch  was  reached,  and 
the  aged  son  of  Kyrle  Daly  came  on  and  won  by  several 
lengths,  Hal  Fisher  getting  the  place.  The  time  was  1:01  \ — 
excellent  with  117  pounds  up. 

Gascon  won  the  second  race  by  a  head  from  Red  Root,  and 
had  the  latter  made  his  move  iust  a  trifle  earlier  than  he  did, 
it  is  exceedingly  doubtful  whether  Gascon  would  have  been 
first  past  the  post.  Fortuna  was  left  at  the  post  in  this  race 
and  Sir  Peter  so  severely  jostled  at  the  start  that  he  was  at 
once  out  of  the  hunt.     Middleton  ran  third. 

Royal  Flush,  at  8  and  10  to  1,  won  the  third  race  in  such 
impressive  style  (by  eight  lengths)  that  we  are  constrained  to 


believe  he  will  be  a  hard  nut  to  crack  at  a  mile  for  some  time 
to  come.  Centella,  ran  6econd  and  Conrad  third,  the  latter 
just  beating  Faro  a  nose  for  the  show.  Ed  Stanley,  Jockey 
Tod  Sloan's  horse,  was  badly  cut  down  after  he  had  run  about 
a  furlong,  and  if  he  starts  again  inside  of  three  months  we 
shall  be  surprised.  Imp.  Atossa,  backed  from  15  to  1  down 
to  3  to  1,  ran  a  dog  race,  never  being  prominent. 

Thelma  led  nearly  the  whole  distance  in  the  fourth  race, 
six  furlongs,  winning  with  ease  by  three  lengths.  Comrade 
beat  the  favorite,  imp.  Candid,  a  head  for  the  place.  The 
latter  was  heavily  played  to  win  this  race,  and  though  she 
got  off  well,  her  field  outran  her  badly  in  the  first  part  of  it. 

Clacquer  surprised  the  natives  in  the  last  race.  He  wasat 
15  to  1  in  the  betting,  and  getting  away  well,  won  quite 
handily  from  Addie  Chipman,  who  ran  well  the  last  part  of 
the  race.  Border  Lassie  looked  very  dangerous,  but  went  to 
pieces  about  a  sixteenth  from  home,  finishing  third,  however. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  BUN. 

Tim  Murphy  opened  at  even  money  in  the  first  race  (five 
fnriongs),  closing  at  7  to  10.  Midget  was  second  choice  at2J 
to  1,  Hal  Fisher  at  8  to  1.  To  a  good  start  they  went  away, 
Annie  Moore  slightly  in  advance,  Tim  Murphy  second.  The 
favorite  at  once  forged  to  the  fore,  leading  Midget  a  length  at 
the  half-pole,  Emma  D.  third,  half  a  length  from  Annie 
Moore.  Midget  now  went  up  to  Murphy,  and  the  pair  ran  as 
one  horse  for  about  an  eighth  of  a  mile.  Murphy  led  into  the 
homestretch  by   a  head,  Midget  second,  four  lengths  from 


Emma  D.  Midget  soon  coughed  up  her  chances,  and  Tim 
Murphy,  running  like  a  wild  horse,  won  easily  by  three 
lengths  from  Hal  Fisher,  who  had  gradually  improved  his 
position.  Fisher  beat  Harry  Lewis  five  lengths  for  place. 
Time,  1:014.

The  second  race,  fifteen-sixteenths  of  a  mile,  selling,  had 
nine  starters.  Gascon  was  a  3  to  5  shot,  Middleton  second 
choice  at  7  to  1.  Fortuna  cut  up  at  the  po«t  badly.  Finally 
Ferguson  sent  them  away  to  a  bad  start,  Fortuna  being  left 
standing  while  Sir  Peter  was  knocked  completely  off  his 
stride  and  out  of  the  race.  Steadfast  led  past  the  quarter  by 
half  a  length,  Braw  Scott  second,  two  lengths  from  Gascon, 
who  was  a  head  from  Romulus.  Braw  Scott  was  now  sent 
forward  rapidly,  leading  by  two  lengths  at  the  half-pole,  Mid- 
dleton second,  half  a  length  from  Steadfast.  Sir  Peter  was 
last,  fifteen  lengths  out  of  the  hunt.  Gascon,  who  had  been 
running  back  in  the  bunch,  now  commenced  to  move  up. 
Middleton  showed  the  way  into  the  homestretch,  leading 
Gascon  half  a  length,  and  Red  Root  had  run  up  third,  close 
up.  Gascon  raced  to  the  front  in  the  straight,  with  Middle- 
ton  second,  Red  Root  third,  against  the  rails.  He  managed 
to  squeeze  through  about  a  sixteenth  from  home,  and  in  a 
drive  Gascon  beat  him  just  a  head.  Two  lengths  behind  came 
Middleton,  third.     Time,  1:35*.

The  third  race,  one  mile,  handicap,  biought  out  eight 
starters.  Centella  and  imp.  Atossa  divided  favoritism  at  3  to 
1,  the  latter  being  backed  down  from  15  to  1.  Royal  Flush 
was  at  8  to  1.  To  a  beautiful  start  Royal  Flush,  Lady  Gwen 
and  Centella  was  the  order.  At  the  quarter  Royal  Flush, 
Centella,  Conrad,  Faro  was  the  or  Jer,  heads  apart.  Ed.  Stan- 
ley was  cut  down  about  an  eighth  from  the  start.  Royal 
FluBh  was  leading  half  a  length  at  the  half-pole,  Faro  second, 
as  far  from  Conrad.  Royal  Flush  drew  away  three  furlongs 
from  home,  and  Centella  had  run  up  second.  The  leader 
went  away  from  his  field  at  every  stride,  winning  by  eight 
lengths  from  the  whipped-out  Centella  (who  stumbled  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch),  Bhe  six  lengths  from  Conrad,  who 
beat  Faro  a  short  head.     Time,  1:42$.

The  fourth  race,  six  furlongs,  for  maidens,  had  ten  starters. 
Imp.  Candid  went  to  the  post  a  warm  favorite  at  2  to  1, 
Thelma  next  in  demand  at  3-3  to  1.  Thelma  cut  up  badly  at 
the  post.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  fair  start.  Thelma,  off 
fifth,  at  once  sailed  to  the  front,  and  led  by  a  length  at  the 
half,  Comrade  second,  Remus  third.  Candid,  off  second,  soon 
fell  back  to  sixth  place.  Three  furlongs  from  home  Thelma 
led  by  two  lengths,  Comrade  second,  as  far  from  Remus,  who 
was  half  a  length  from  Miss  Fletcher.  Candid  now  made  her 
move  and  was  fourth  in  the  homestretch,  where  Thelma  led 
by  a  length,  Remus  second,  half  a  length  in  front  of  Comrade, 
he  as  far  from  Candid.  Thelma  was  not  headed,  3nd  won  very 
easily  by  three  lengths,  Comrade  second,  a  head  from  the  fa- 
vorite, Candid,     Time,  1:131.

Bettors  were  severely  shocked  in  the  last  race,  which  was 
five  and  one-half  furlongs,  selling.  John  Aithur,  a  three- 
year-old  from  the  Kentucky  Stable  and  a  new-comer,  was 
played  as  if  it  were  all  over  but  the  shouting,  opening  at  2  to 
1,  closing  at  9  to  5.  There  were  thirteen  starters.  Addie 
Chipman  and  One  Dime  were  next  in  demand  at  5  to  1  each. 
Clacquer's  odds  ranged  from  8  to  20  to  1.  To  a  good  start 
Bordeaux  led,  with  Border  Lassie  second,  Clacquer  third, 
Addie  Chipman  fourth.  Border  Lassie  led  Clacquer  two 
lengths  at  the  half,  Bordeaux  third.  Addie  Chipman  had 
dropped  back  to  eighth  place.  Border  Lassie  held  her  ad- 
vantage until  nearing  the  homestretch, where  Clacquer  forged 
to  the  fore,  leading  into  the  straight  by  half  a  length,  Border 
Lassie  second  and  Chipman  third.  Border  Lassie  seemed  to 
have  been  fouled  a  little  over  a  sixteenths  from  home  by 
Addie  Chipman.  Clacquer  won  very  handily  by  three 
lengths,  Addie  Chipman  second,  as  far  from  the  punched-out 
Border  Lassie.  Wyanashott  finished  fourth,  the  favorite, 
John  Arthur,  last.     Time,  1:09.

ELEVENTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  JANUARY  13. 

Large  fields  of  good  performers  and  a  pleasant  day  brought 
local  lovers  of  racing  to  the  race  course  in  droves  and  the 
sport  was  a  most  enjoyable  character.  Three  favorites,  a  sec- 
ond choice  and  one  long  shot  corraled  the  lucre  this  after- 
noon. The  track  was  never  much  taster,  and  the  time  made 
throughout  was  consequently  good.  Tne  bookmakers  fared 
quite  badly  to-day,  "killings"  being  made  on  Guard,  Strom- 
boli,  Longwell  and  Princess.  In  the  last  race  the  pencilers  lost 
considerable  money  on  Princess,  Leveller  for  place  and  imp. 
True  Briton  to  show.  Irving  rode  two  winners,  and  other 
successful  jockeys  were  Sullivan,  E.  Morris  and  Mclnerny. 

Hal  Fisher  won  the  first  race  by  a  head,  and  the  judges 
placed  Jennie  Lind  second  and  Ottyanna  third.  From  the 
reporters'  stand  Ottyanna  appeared  to  have  finished  second  by 
ashort  head.  It  was  a  close  decision,  however.  Midget,  who 
ran  ofi  in  front  with  Ottyanna,  quit  as  she  did  on  Saturday, 
finishing  eighth  and  last.  Bridal  Veil  got  off  poorly,  and 
finished  a  fair  sort  of  fifth.  Irving  has  not  got  away  well  with 
his  mounts  for  some  time  past. 

Guard,  a  hot  favorite,  got  off  eighth  in  a  field  of  sixteen  in 
the  second  race,  and  won  easily  by  two  lengths,  Ironbeart,  a 
30  to  1  shot, getting  the  place,  while  Kathleen,  a  20  to  1  shot, 
ran  third.     Morton  was  left  at  the  post. 

Stromboli  clinched  his  claims  to  the  Coast  championship 
this  afternoon  by  winning  easily  at  a  mile  from  such  good 
ones  as  Nomad,  Glee  Boy,  Sir  Reel  and  Pescador.  The  big, 
brown  Australian  horse  got  away  a  coup'e  of  lengths  behind 
the  bunch,  loafed  in  the  rear  until  nearing  the  homestretch, 
where  Morris  let  go  his  wrap.  The  style  in  which  Stromboli 
went  by  Pescador  (who  had  been  leading  by  quite  a  margin) 
Sir  Reel,  el.  «/.  will  not  be  forgotten  soon  by  those  who  saw 
it.  From  fifth  and  last  place  at  the  turn  into  the  straight  he 
was  first  in  the  nest  sixteenth  of  a  mile,  and  coming  like  a 
shot  with  those  long,  sweeping,  deceptive  strides,  the  brother 
to'Volcano  won  exceedingly  easy  by  two  lengths  from  Sir 
Reel  in  the  cracking  good  time  of  1 :41  A.  Stromboli  was  timed 
separately  in  1:41  flat,  and  bad  he  been  forced  to  do  so  could 
assuredly  have  made  the  circuit  of  Bay  District  course  to-day 
in  1 :40j  or  better.  He  is  the  best  horse  we  have  seen  here  in 
many  a  day,  for  weight  will  not  stop  and  no  route  is  too 
long  for  him.  A.  Ottinger,  lessee  of  Wildwood,  thinks  Strom- 
boli a  great  horse.     "  Wildwood  might  give  the  Australian  a

good  race  at  a  mile  with  110  pounds  on  each  horse,  but  with 
120  pounds  or  more  up  my  horse  would  have  little  show  of 
winning.  I  can  6ee  that  the  big  brown  horse  can  pack  a 
house  on  his  back."  This  is  just  one  of  the  many  expressions 
of  opinion  regarding  the  horse  the  eminent  authority,  C. 
Bruce  Lowe,  brought  over  to  our  shores  to  sell.  Stromboli  now 
has  an  international  reputation,  and  will  be  taken  East  next 
summer  to  race  at  the  principal  race  courses  in  the  rich  han- 
dicaps. Dan  Halliday,  his  trainer,  has  been  congratulated 
on  all  sides  for  his  excellent  work  and  perseverence. 

Longwell  won  the  steeplechase  by  a  length  from  Cito,  after 
trailing  that  gelding  and  Templemore  nearly  to  the  last 
jump.  A  large  sum  was  won  on  Longwell's  victory  and  on 
Cito  for  the  place. 

Princess  captured  the  last  race  very  easily  from  Leveller 
and  eight  others.  Imp.  True  Briton,  a  very  long  shot,  and 
well  played  by  a  few  in  the  know,  got  the  show.  Princess 
showed  all  her  old-time  speed,  winning  with  ease  in  1:18$. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Ottvanna,  a  very  speedy  filly  from  tbeCorrigan  stable,  was 
made  a  torrid  tirst  choice* after  Tim  Murphy  and  Joe  Cotton 
were  scratched,  and  she  was  played  as  if  it  were  all  over. 
Hal  Fisher,  at  4  to  1,  was  second  choice.  Jenny  Lind  was  at 
40  to  1  at  the  close,  15  to  1  place,  6  to  1  show.  The  order  at 
the  start  was  Hal  Fisher,  Ottvanna,  Midget,  Sir  Reginald. 
At  the  half-pole  Midget  led  by  a  head,  Ottyanna  second, 
three  lengths  from  Sir  Reginald.  Midget  and  Oltyanna 
seemed  to  have  the  race  to  themselves  three  furlongs  from 
the  finish,  being  half  a  length  apart  as  named,  Sir  Reginald 
still  third,  four  lengths  back,  Hal  Fisher  fourth.  Midget  had 
coughed  up  the  lead  at  the  heat  of  the  homestretch,  where 
Ottvanna  was  leading  a  length  and  apparently  going  easily, 
Midget  second,  three  lengths  from  Hal  Fisher.  The  latter 
came  that  last  quarter  at  a  great  pace,  and  getting  within  two 
lengths  of  the  favorite  au  eighth  from  home,  got  his  nose  in 
front  about  seventy-five  yards  from  the  wind-up,  and  won  by 
a  head,  Jennie  Lind,  coming  with  a  meteoric  burst,  awarded 
second  place,  Ottyanna,  a  trifle  over  a  head  from  Fisher, 
third.    Time,  1:02$.

The  second  race  was  also  one  of  five  furlongs.  There  were 
sixteen  horses  to  bother  Starter  Ferguson.  Guard  was  a  well- 
played  favorite,  Queen  Bee  second  choice  at  5  to  1.  Guard 
and  Morton  cut  up  badly  at  the  post,  and  finally  the  flag  fell 
with  old  Morton  left  and  Guard  in  the  middle  of  the  big 
bunch.  Ironheart  led  to  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths, 
with  Mount  Carlos  second,  Guard  now  third  and  coming  up 
to  the  expectations  of  his  many  friends.  Gaining  at  every

The  third  event  on  the  day's  card  was  a  mile  handicap, 
with  imp.  Stromboli,  Nomad,  Glee  Boy,  Sir  Reel  and  Pesca- 
dor  as  starters.  It  was  a  great  betting  affair.  For  perhaps  ten 
minutes  the  odds  stood:  20  to  1  each  Nomad  and  Stromboli, 
2*  to  1  Glee  Boy,  6  to  I  Sir  Reel,  12  to  1  Pescador.  Then 
Nomad  was  made  a  favorite,  and  wiped  off  most  of  the  boards. 
A  plunge  on  Stromboli  toward  post-time  sent  his  odds  down 
to  9  to  5  and  those  of  Nomad  up  to  2  to  1.  Glee  Boy  was  al- 
ways at  5  to  2.  To  a  start  in  which  Stromboli  was  last  by  a 
couple  of  lengths,  the  others  well  bunched,  they  go  away  at  a 
rattling  clip.  Pescador  sails  off  to  set  the  pace,  which  is  a 
merry  one.  He  leads  at  the  quarter-pole  by  two  lengths,  Sir 
Reel  second,  a  head  in  front  of  Glee  Boy,  Nomad  fourth, 
with  Stromboli  at  his  heels.  Glee  Boy  moves  up  and  is  but 
a  length  behind  Pescador  as  they  sweep  by  the  half  in  fifty 
seconds  Half  a  length  behind  Glee  Boy  comes  Sir  Reel, 
then  another  length  Nomad,  with  Stromboli,  simply  gallop- 
ing, a  neck  behind  him,  still  last.  Pescador  is  still  leading  by 
a  length  three-eighths  from  home,  and  it  begins  to  look  as  if 
they  will  never  head  him.  As  they  near  the  homestretch 
Morris  gives  Stromboli  his  head.  With  one  bound  he  is  past 
Nomad,  and  gaining  on  the  leaders  at  a  rate  that  is  alarming. 
Once  straightened  out,  he  simply  "gallops  over  the  top  of 
them,"  and  heading  Pescador  about  three-sixteenths  from 
home,  gallops  in  an  easy  winner  by  two  lengths,  Sir  Reel 
second,  a  short  head  only  from  Pescador,  he  four  lengths 
from  Nomad,  Glee  Boy  last.  Tima,  1:41$.  Stromboli  was 
timed'separately  in  1:41.  The  twenty  or  more  pounds  of  dead 
weight  on  Glee  Boy  told  on  him,  and  just  why  Schreiber  did 
not  get  some  crack  jockey  at  something  near  the  weight  is 
hard  to  say,

Dictator  and  His  Early  History. 


BY  H.  C.  WOOONUTT. 


There  is  probably  less  known  by  the  general  public  about 
the  early  life  of  Dictator  than  any  other  prominent  stallion 
that  ever  lived.  It  was  the  policy  of  his  owner,  Mr.  Durkee, 
to  keep  his  real  merit  from  becoming  known  until  he  got  a 
number  of  his  colts,  and  was  ready  to  surprise  the  public  and 
create  a  boom  on  them.  He  did  this  so  successfully  that  there 
were  comparatively  few  who  knew  there  was  such  a  horse  in 
existence. 

A  few  of  Mr.  Durkee's  intimate  friends,  however,  knew  of 
Dictator's  merits,  and  offered  tempting  inducements  for  his 
services,  one  as  high  as  $500,  but  Mr.  Durkee  would  not 
accept  any  outside  patronage  for  many  years.  Keeping  him 
so  out  of  sight  led  to  the  belief  that  he  was  of  little  value. 
Whatever  was  written  of  him  tended  to  strengthen  this  be- 
lief, and  gave  the  impression  that  he  had  no  speed.  When 
his  services  were  placed  at  the  disposal  of  the  public  he  had 
but  little  patronge.  Up  to  the  time  he  went  to  Kentucky  he 
had  not  served  thirty  different  mares  all  told. 

Dictator  was  my  first  choice  of  all  the  stallions  in  existence, 
and  I  felt  for  a  long  time  that  I  ought  to  set  him  right  in  the 
eyes  of  the  public.  An  article  that  appeared  in  your  paper, 
of  April  23, 1891,  written  by  the  late  G.  H.  Brasfield,  de- 
termined me  to  do  so,  but  I  put  it  off  for  a  convenient  time 
until  now.  There  were  so  many  errors  in  that  article  I  could 
not  let  it  go  uncorrected.  Mr.  Brasfield, like  all  former  writ- 
ers, stated  lhat  Dictator  had  no  speed  as  a  young  horse,  and 
told  the  story  how  Colonel  Conley  discovered  he  had  speed, 
etc.  I  cannot  account  for  some  of  the  statements  in  that 
article,  except  upon  the  theory  that  time  had  erased  the  facts 
from  his  memorv. 

The  statements  he  made — that  Dictator  was  lame  when  he 
came  to  take  him  to  Kentucky,  that  Dr.  Liautard  was  called 
to  see  him,  and  that  Mr.  Durkee  had  no  one  in  charge  on 
the  farm  at  that  time — are  fictions.  The  facts  are,  I  was  in 
charge  at  the  time,  and  had  been  for  two  years,  and  was  for 
nearly  two  years  afterwards.  Mr.  Brasfield  was  only  in  New 
York  four  days  instead  of  ten,  and  they  were  for  his  own  in- 
terest, as  he  said  he  wanted  to  spend  two  or  three  days  in  the 
city  before  shipping.  There  was  nothing  whatever  the  matter 
with  Dictator.  He  was  in  perfect  condition,  and  Dr.  Liautard 
never  set  foot  on  the  farm  while  I  was  in  charge  of  it. 

When  I  undertook  the  managament  of  Spring  Hill  Farm 
Mr.  Durkee  told  me  that  Dictator  had  not  had  a  shoe  on  his 
foot  or  harness  on  his  back  for  three  years,  and  I  have  no 
reason  to  doubt  this  statement.  If  that  were  true,  Colonel 
Conley  could  not  have  seen  him  in  harness  or  driven  him. 
I  don't  believe  Colonel  Conley  had  anything  to  do  with  Dic- 
tator going  to  Kentucky,  as  he  was  a  Blackwood  man  and  did 
not  think  much  of  Dictatoror  his  colts.  It  is  true  that  Colonel 
West  came  to  New  York  to  try  to  eet  Blackwood  and  came 
to  the  farm  with  Mr.  Durkee  to  see  him  driven.  I  drove  him 
a  mile,  over  the  farm  half-mile  track,  in  2:19.r,  which  sur- 
prised and  pleased  the  Colonel. 

He  extolled  the  horse  extravagantly  and  claimed  no  other 
such  horse  ever  lived.  As  I  did  not  not  agree  with  him  I 
ventured  to  say  :  "  What  would  you  think,  Colonel,  if  I  told 
you  we  had  a  better-gaited  and  faster  horse  right  here  on  the 
farm?"  He  replied  that  he  would  think  I  was  joking. 
"  Well,"  said  I,     I  make  the  assertion,  and  it  is  Dictator," 

"  Mr.  Woodnutt,"  he  replied,  ''it  cannot  be  possible." 

"  The  best  way  to  convince  you,"  I  returned,  "  will  be  to 
harness  him  aud  show  you."  He  said  he  would  very  much 
like  to  see  him,  so  I  had  Dictator  harnessed  and  took  him  to 
the  track,  with  a  thoroughbred  mare  under  saddle  to  accom- 
pany him.  After  jogging  sufficiently  to  warm  him,  I  drove 
Mm  a  quarter  in  34  seconds,  and  I  never  saw  anyone  more 
surprised  and  delighted  than  Colonel  Conley.  He  agreed 
with  me  that  Dictator  was  not  only  a  smoother  and  better 
gaiied  horse  than  Blackwood,  but  a  faster  one. 

Now  I  will  give  you  the  most  important,  which  is  the  un- 
known and  disputed  part  of  Dictator's  history.  This  I  got 
from  my  friend  .Jonathan  Hawkins,  the  breeder  of  Dictator, 
Dexter,  etc.  Dictator  was  foaled  on  the  Hawkins  homestead 
farm  (where  Dexter  and  his  dam,  old  Clara,  first  saw  the 
light  of  day),  on  March  23,  18G3.  His  dam  carried  him  only 
ten  months  and  twenty  days,  and  he  was  small  when  foaled, 
but  was  a  strong,  perfect  colt,  a  natural  born  trotter,  always 
trotted  by  the  side  of  his  mother,  never  running  or  galloping 
in  his  play  like  other  colts.    Mr.  Hawkins  informed  me  he 


could  trot  faster  than  his  mother  could  run.    He  was  a  per- 
fect phenomenon  in  both  respects. 

On  February  3,  1861,  Mr.  Hawkins  sold  Dictator  for  $1,000 
to  Harrison  Durkee,  who  left  him  with  Mr.  Hawkins  until 
October  14,  1865,  when  he  sent  him  to  Alden  Goldsmith  to  be 
broken.  The  following  June  he  was  placed  in  the  hands  of 
my  old  friend,  the  late  James  D.  McMann,  who  woiked  him 
on  the  old  Fashion  course  for  two  months.  At  the  end  of  that 
time  he  drove  him  a  mile  for  Mr.  Durkee  and  two  friends,  in 
the  greatest  privacy,  in  2:35.  This  mile,  in  1866,  was  as  re- 
markable at  that  time,  and  would  have  been  as  sensational,  if 
made  public,  as  the  performance  of  his  grandson,  Directum, 
2:05}  at  this  time,  but  it  was  carefully  kept  secret.  During 
the  last  fifteen  years  of  Mr.  McMann's  life  there  was  scarcely 
a  week  that  we  did  not  see  each  other.  In  our  conversations 
upon  horses  and  horse  matters,  the  subject  of  Dictator,  his 
value  as  a  trotter  and  sire,  often  came  up,  and  I  have  from 
him  every  detail  about  the  horse  while  in  his  hands. 

After  that  trial  he  was  taken  home  by  Mr.  Durkee,  much 
to  the  disappointment  of  Mr.  McMann,  as  he  felt  confident 
he  could  have  driven  him  considerably  faster  than  2:30  had 
he  been  left  with  him  the  remainder  of  the  season.  These 
statements  and  those  made  to  me  in  the  same  vein  by  Allen 
Goldsmith  disprove  the  general  belief  that  Dictator  had  no 
speed,  and  prove  him  to  have  been  the  fastest  natural  trotting 
colt  ever  foaled  up  to  that  time. 

I  took  charge  of  the  Spring  Hill  Farm  Jauuary  1,  1874,  a 
few  months  after  Colonel  Conley  left.  In  a  short  time  Mr. 
Durkee  asked  me  to  shoe  Dictator  and  begin  jogging  him  into 
condition  for  fast  work  by  the  time  the  track  was  fit  for  use.  I 
did  so,  and  took  up  several  of  his  colts  in  February  for  the 
same  purpose.  I  had  not  driven  them  long  before  I  was  thor- 
oughly convinced  that  I  had  a  lot  of  material  in  hand  that 
was  far  ahead  of  anything  I  had  ever  seen  before.  I  told  Mr. 
Durkee  there  was  one  thing  about  the  place  that  astonished 
me,  which  was  that  I  heard  nothing  but  Blackwood  since  I 
had  been  there,  Dictator's  name  never  being  mentioned  by  an 
outsider.  I  considered  Dictator  worth  a  ten-acre  field  full  of 
such  horses  as  Blackwood.  He  said  he  knew  it,  but  did  not 
dare  say  so,  and  asked  me  not  to,  for  fear  it  wouH  make  me 
unpopular  with  his  friends  and  patrons. 

To  make  a  long  story  short,  in  August,  when  Mr.  Durkee 
came  down  from  Saratoga,  where  he  went  in  June,  to  spend 
the  day  at  the  farm  to  see  the  horses  worked,  I  showed  him, 
to  his  utter  surprise,  a  quarter-mile  with  Dictator  and  his 
oldest  colt,  Harold,  in  35  seconds  each,  and  seven  other  Dic- 
tator colts  faster  than  a  2:30  rate.  Mr.  Durkee  was  overcome 
with  joy,  the  tears  ran  down  his  cheeks  like  rain;  he  declared 
it  was  the  most  delightful  day  he  had  ever  spent.  I  exhib- 
ited Blackwood,  Dictator  and  four  of  his  colts  at  the  Queen's 
County  Fair  that  fall,  and  attracted  a  large  number  of  peo- 
ple. The  exhibition  of  these  horses  was  advertised,  and 
drew  the  largest  crowd  ever  assembled  on  those  grounds.  I 
drove  Blackwood,  Dictator  and  Herbert  each  a  half  mile  in 
1:12,  which  was  fast  for  that  poor  track. 

This  was  the  first  inkling  the  public  ever  had  of  Dictator's 
quality  as  a  trotter  or  a  sire.  We  gave  two  exhibitions  at 
the  farm  right  after  the  fair,  which  were  attended  by  Darling 
&  Griswold,  of  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel ;  C.  J.  Hamlin,  of 
Buffalo  ;  P.  C.  Kellogg,  his  father,  and  several  others.  Mr. 
Harnlin  was  so  favorably  impressed  with  Dictator  and  his 
get  that  he  bought  two  of  his  daughters  and  bred  them  to 
Blackwood.  The  blood  of  these  mares  runs  through  the 
veins  of  a  number  of  the  Village  Farm  animals  to-day. 

During  the  two  and  a  half  years  that  I  drove  Dictator  be- 
fore he  went  to  Kentucky,  he  never  made  a  break.  He  was 
the  purest,  smoothest,  truest-gaited  horse  I  ever  saw,  and  the 
fastest  I  have  ever  driven.  I  do  not  believe  there  is  a  horse 
alive  to-day  that  can  speed  faster  than  he  could.  It  is  no 
wonder  that  his  produce  were  fast,  game  and  level-headed ;  it 
is  no  freak  or  accident  that  Directum  and  Nancy  Hanks  are 
just  what  they  are. 

No  trotter  that  has  a  faulty  gait  can  go  fast  and  steady 
without  breaking.  This  is  one  of  the  greatest  points  in  Dic- 
tator's success.  He  had  a  perfectly  faultless  gait,  and  passes 
it  right  along  down  the  line  of  his  descendants.  He  had  the 
power  of  controlling  the  gait  of  his  ofispring  to  a  greater  ex- 
tent, I  believe,  than  any  horse  that  ever  lived,  and  if  he  had 
been  accorded  the  opportunity  before  he  passed  the  prime  of 
life,  I  do  nor  believe  any  other  sire  would  approach  him  to- 
day. I  have  a  grandson  of  his,  got  by  Kentucky  Dictator, 
that  is  the  peifect  counterpart  of  the  old  horse  in  color,  con- 
formation and  gait;  their  stable  manners  are  nearly  identical. 
Every  movement  reminds  me  of  his  grandsire. 

I  predicted  great  things  for  Dictator  as  a  sire  and  indudce 
my  friends  to  breed  to  him ;  but  I  could  not  demonstrate  the 
truth  of  what  I  said  from  the  fact  that  Mr.  Durkee  would  not 
race  his  horses.  In  order  to  vindicate  myself  I  had  to  buy  one 
of  his  get  and  train  and  trot  it  on  my  own  responsibility.  I 
bought  Annie  G.  for  $800.  I  trained  and  trotted  her  for  two 
Beasons,  gave  her  a  record  of  2:28,  and  drove  her  a  mile  in  a 
race  at  Hartford  in  2:24|.  She  was  the  first  Dictator  to  enter 
the  2:30  list.  She  was  fourteen  and  a  half  hands  high,  and 
weighed  780  pounds  in  trotting  condition. 

When  Dictator  went  to  Kentucky  I  delivered  him  person- 
ally on  the  cars.  I  took  him  and  a  yearling  colt  of  his  to 
New  York,  with  three  men  ;  one  to  lead  the  colt,  and  two  to 
lead  Dictator,  one  on  each  side,  as  he  was  very  playful  and  I 
did  not  want  any  accident  to  happen.  I  took  him  to  Dr.  Ro- 
berge's  shop  on  Thirtieth  street,  and  had  him  shod  before 
putting  him  on  the  train.  After  he  was  loaded  Mr.  Brasfield 
and  I  went  to  Twenty-third  street  and  had  lunch  together 
At  six  o'clock  that  evening  he  left  for  Kentucky  in  the  car 
with  Dictator  and  the  colt. 

Mr.  Brasfield,  in  his  article,  speaks  of  Dictator  as  being  a 
loafer,  or  a  dull  horse,  while  quite  the  contrary  was  the  case. 
He  was  a  horse  of  splendid  life  aod  courage;  all  he  wanted 
was  the  word  and  he  was  ofi  like  a  flash. 

I  have  never  seen  a  horse  thafwould  fight  harder  for  the 
lead  than  he  would,  and  he  could  make  a  rush  for  a  hundred 
yards  or  more  that  would  leave  a  thoroughbred  mare  we  used 
to  run  for  company  a  length  behind  under  lash  and  spur.  She 
could  always  run  a  mile  when  we  tried  her  from  1:50  to  2:00, 
so  I  am  sure  he  could  brush  faster  than  a  two-minute  gait. 

There  was  another  incident  in  connection  with  Dictator 
that  proves  with  what  esteem  he  was  held  by  those  who  knew 
him  before  he  was  placed  in  the  stud.  A  brother  broker  of 
Mr.  Durkee,  and  one  of  the  very  first  to  secure  the  privilege 
of  Dictator's  services,  tried  hard  to  buy  an  interest  in  him, 
raising  his  bids  until  he  fiually  offered  $40,000  for  a  half  share 
which  Mr.  Durkee  refused,  as  he  would  not  have  a  partner 
and  did.not  wish  to  sell  him  out-and-out  at  any  price. — Horse-

The  Only  Sure  Test. 


BY  MARK   FIELD. 


Race-Horse  Owners  Protest. 


[Written  for  the  Breeder  and  Spotsman.] 

The  deciding  test  of  a  sire's  merit  is  in  his  produce.  Breed- 
ing has  always  been,  and  always  will  be,  more  or  less  of  a 
lottery.  This  is  conclusively  proven  in  the  wide  difference 
frequently — in  fact  almost  universally — observed  between  full 
brothers. 

The  great  English  shorthorn  bull,  the  fourth  Duke  of 
Northumberland,  never  had  an  equal  among  his  nearest 
kindred.  Woodward's  Ethan  Allen  was  a  good  stock  horse, 
but  with  better  opportunities,hewas  markedly  inferior  to  his 
brother,  Daniel"  Lambert,  as  a  sire  of  speed.  _  Volunteer,  in 
his  day,  eclipsed  all  other  sons  of  Hambletonian  in  the  pro- 
duction of  race  horses,  while  his  brother,  Hetzell's  Hamble- 
tonian,  was  a  total  failure  in  that  respect,  and  his  other 
brother,  Sentinel,  2:29i,  though  a  respectable  speed  getier, 
fell  far  below  the  Volunteer  standard.  The  chances  of  Lake- 
land Abdallah  were  about  as  good  as  those  of  his  brother 
Harold,  to  whom  he  was  greatly  inferior  as  a  speed  pro- 
ducer. Thus  we  may  go  on  through  a  catalogue  of  almost  in- 
terminable length,  meeting  again  and  again  with  this  same 
phenomenon,  which  has  hitherto  been  one  of  the  most  in- 
soluble puzzles  known  to  the  history  of  breeding,  but,inexpli- 
cable  though  it  has  appeared,it  is  one  of  the  most  instructive 
of  facts.  It  clearly  shows  that  there  is|something  in  breeding 
which  we  do  not  understand — which  has,  so  far,  utterly  de- 
fied all  the  efforts  of  the  greatest  and  most  industrious 
students,  and  upon  which  no  extant  theory  has  yet  thrown 
any  satisfactory  light. 

The  mystery  may,  in  time,  be  unraveled,  but  if  this  should 
be  done  it  will,  it  my  opinion,  have  to  be  accomplished  on 
psychic  grounds.  It  will  commence  upon  the  postulate  that 
the  lower  animals  have  minds,  and  it  will  proceed  upon  the 
theory  that,  at  the  period  of  conception,  the  character  of  the 
foal,  or  of  the  calf,  is  in  a  great  measure  determined  by  cer- 
tain mental  influences  which  at  the  time  strongly  affect  the 
dam.  We  know  this  to  be  true  as  it  regards  the  propagatiou 
of  the  human  species,  and  now,  since  modern  investigation 
has  displaced  the  old  notion  about  instinct  (which  never 
meant  anything)  with  the  quite  palpable  truth  that  the  beasts 
of  the  field  are  endowed  with  a  certain  degree  cf  intellectual 
power,  similar  in  kind  to  that  possessed  by  man,  there  is  cer- 
tainly no  reason  why  the  same  thing  may  not  be  admitted  in 
respect  to  those  beast6. 

Such  a  view  of  the  case  would  not  be  new,  for  the  force  of 
material  influences  in  breeding  cattle  was  fully  recognized  by 
Jacob  in  the  scheme  which  he  adopted  to  beat  Laban  out  of 
hundreds  of  calves.  The  ringed,  streaked  and  striped  rods 
were  thrown  into  the  watering  troughs  for  the  cows  to  see, 
and  it  is  evident  that  the  impressions  conveyed  through  the 
eyes  of  the  dam  to  her  faHal  calf  were  of  a  purely  mental 
character.  If  the  color  aiid  markings  may  be  thus  controlled 
noihiog  can  be  plainer  than  that  other  and  more  important 
characteristics  may  be  so  controlled.  Here  is  a  matter  which 
will  undoubtedly  enlist  the  attention  of  the  most  thoughtful 
and  intelligent  of  the  present  generation  of  breeders— of 
Buch  breeders,  for  instance,  as  Joseph  Cairn  Simpson,  of  Cali- 
fornia. To  my  personal  knowledge  it  did  claim  the  studious 
attention  of  the  late  Gen.  Wm.  T.  Withers,  of  Kentucky. 

The  wide  difference  so  generally  noticed  between  near  blood 
relatives  teaches  most  impressively  the  important  lesson  that 
though  predictions  are  often  well  grounded  they  can  by  no 
means  be  invariably  trusted.  Neither  the  richest  pedigree 
nor  the  possession  of  extraordinary  speeds,  nor  yet  both  of 
these  united  in  one  and  the  same  animal,  can  be  absolutely 
depended  upon  as  touching  future  results.  Smuggler  held 
the  stallion  record  eight  years — much  longer  than  it  has  ever 
been  held  since  his  day.  Yet  as  a  sire  of  winners  of  records 
and  races  he  was  a  comparative  failure.  Men  have  essayed  to 
explain  this  fact  upon  the  theory  thkt  Smuggler  was,  in  the 
main,  a  paciDg-bred  horse.  But  there  was  the  matchless  Blue 
Bull,  strictly  pacing  bred,  and  himself  one  of  the  fastest  and 
most  purely-gaited  of  pacers,  whose  achievements  both  as  a 
sire  and  a  progenitor  of  trotters,  when  we  consider  his  op- 
portunities, are  utterly  unparalleled  in  history.  This  fully 
offsets  the  argument  drawn  from  Smuggler's  genealogy.  Justin 
Morgan  remains  to  this  moment  without  a  record  or  even  the 
shadow  of  an  established  inheritance.  Yet  the  whole  annals 
of  breeding  will  be  searched  in  vain  for  his  equal  in  that 
amazing  power  to  control  form,  style,  finish  and  harness 
qualities,  which  is  plainly  visible  to  the  remotest  generation 
of  bis  progeny.  Few  indeed  of  the  greatest  speed  producers 
have  records,  or  are  even  known  to  have  possessed  much  un- 
developed speed.  This  is  true  of  both  the  sires  and  the  dams 
of  some  of  the  fastest  trotters,  as  is  shown  in  the  parents  of 
Nancy  Hanks,  Maud  8.,  and  several  others. 

Upon  what,  then,  shall  the  breeder  depend,  as  a  sure  guide 
in  his  work?  The  true  answer  is  easily  made — upon  the 
producing  qualities  of  sire  and  dam  as  exhibited  in  the 
dominent  characteristics  of  the  progeny.  Experience  and 
experience  alone,  decides  the  potency,  and  the  consequent 
value,  of  both  the  harem  and  its  head.  Much  may,  with  a 
fair  degree  of  certainty,  be  foretold  from  well-established 
family  traits  which  run  consecutively  through  several  gen- 
erations of  the  ancestry.  But  even  this  rule  will  be  found  to 
have  many  exceptions.  The  size,  substance,  quality  and 
pedigrees  of  untried  stallions  go  quite  a  distance  in  pointing 
out  the  probable  future  of  such  stallions,  but  it  is  only  in 
their  foals  that  we  see  and  know  their  reproducing  power.  So 
frequently  is  it  the  case  that  there  is  something  in  the  horse 
which  lies  entirely  beyond  the  form,  the  gait  and  the  lineage, 
but  which  comes  out  with  astounding  uniformity  in  the  foals 
of  the  first,  the  Becond,  and  all  subsequent  generations  of  the 
progeny. 

It  is  this  invisible  thing  that  constitutes  the  point  of  de- 
parture from  which  new  families  originate,  and  in  which  we 
note  the  uuique  distinctions  of  the  Hambletonians,  the  Mor- 
gans, the  Mambriuo  Chiefs,  the  Hals,  the  Blue  Bulls,  and  all 
other  well-marked  tribes  of  the  great  and  diversified  roadster 
kingdom,  with  the  distinctions  of  the  Normans,  the  Clydes, 
the  Belgians,  the  English  Shires  and  all  other  varieties  of 
heavy  draft  horses,  every  one  of  which  is  directly  descended 
from  the  one  great  Boulonnais  family  of  France. 

The  January  number  of  the  Southern  Magazine  will  con- 
tain an  interesting  article  upon  Ranches  and  Racing  beyood 
the  Rockies,  freely  and  beautifully  illustrated  from  original 
drawings  by  Arthur  Bennett.  This  article  will  be  interesting

ture. The  Southern  Magazine  is  published  by  the  Fetter- 
Bush  Publishing  Company,  Louisville,  Ky. 


For  some  time  past  it  has  been  known  that  prominent  horse- 
owners  in  the  East  would  meet  to  take  some  decided  action  in 
regard  to  the  conduct  of  racing  before  the  opening  of  the 
coming  season.  In  pursuance  of  a  call  issued  such  a  meeting 
was  held  at  the  Hoffman  House  on  Wednesday,  December 
27th.  It  was  a  representative  gathering,  at  which  were  pres- 
ent nearly  all  the  leading  owners  and  trainers  in  this  vicinity, 
including  James  R.  Keene,  J.  O.  Donner,  James  Galway, 
Col.  W.  P.  Thompson,  of  Brookdale,  August  Belmont,  Hon. 
Perry  Belmont.  Col.  J.  Ruppert,  Jr.,  Dr.  Gideon  Lee  Knapp, 
A.  ClasoD,  Edward  Kelly,  F.  Cool  (Pierre  Lorillard's  repre- 
sentative), Richard  Croker,  John  Huggins,  J.  W.  Rogers, 
W.  Lakeland,  W.  B.  Gilpin,  J.  Taylor,  W.  Easton,  Horace 
Theobald,  A.  F.  Walcott,  John  S.  Campbell,  Louis  Stuart, 
Walter  C.  Rollins,  Charles  Boyle,  Charles  Littlefield,  senior 
and  junior,  David  Gideon,  John  Daly,  W.  H.  Sands, 
W.  Donohue.Frank  0.  Burridge,  George  E.  Smith  and  G.  W. 
Newton.  On  motion  of  Col.  Thompson,  Mr.  James  R.  Keene 
was  elected  presiding  officer. 

It  was  the  general  impression  among  owners  that  the  chief 
purpose  of  the  meeting  was  to  discuss  the  reduction  in  stakes 
and  purses  on  some  of  the  Eastern  race  tracks,  but  the  discus- 
sion very  quickly  took  a  wider  range.  It  was  stated  that  the 
control  of  racing  had  fallen  into  the  hands  of  a  few  men  who 
were  race  track  owners,  and  it  was  believed  that  the  best  in- 
terests of  the  sport  could  not  be  subserved  by  such  a  state  of 
affairs.  To  insure  a  more  evuitable  administration  of  turf 
government  a  plan  was  proposed  something  similar  in  scope 
to  that  discussed  kby  Mr.  Kirkman  and  prominent  Eastern 
racing  men  recently.  It  was  suggested  that  an  organization 
be  effected,  in  which  the  owners  of  horses  would  be  repre- 
sented as  well  as  the  owners  of  race  tracks  ;  that  this  organi- 
zation elect  a  Board  of  Stewards  to  have  not  only  supervi- 
sion of  the  racing  in  the  East,  but  the  power  to  employ  the 
starter,  the  handicapper,  clerk  of  the  scales  and  the  judges. 
Those  who  took  an  active  part  in  the  discussion  were  J.  O. 
Donner,  James  R.  Keene,  A.  F.  Walcott,  Col.  Thompson,  Dr. 
Knapp,  Edward  Kelly,  James  Galway,  Hon.  Perry  Belmont, 
August  Belmont,  Col.  Ruppert  and  tRichard  Croker.  Mr. 
Walcott  was  the  only  race  track  representative  present,  and 
he  personally  expressed  his  willingness  to  join  such  an  or- 
ganization. The  Board  of  Control  naturally  figured  in  the 
discussion,  and  while  it  was  admitted  that  the  Board  had 
accomplished  a  great  deal  of  good  for  the  turf,  yet  the  owners 
appeared  to  think  that  they  ought  to  have  representation,  and 
that  the  powers  and  functions  of  the  Board  needed  to  be 
largely  increased.  After  a  thorough  interchange  of  views, 
the  sentiment  of  the  meeting  was  finally  formulated  in  the 
appointment  of  a  committee  to  confer  with  the  various  rac- 
ing associations  and  the  Board  of  Control,  and  report  at 
another  meeting,  to  be  held  at  the  Hoffman  House,  Thursday, 
January  4th,  at  4:30  p.  m.  Dr.  Knapp,  J-  0.  Donner,  Col. 
Ruppert,  Colonel  Thompson,  Hon.  Perry  Belmont,  A.  Clason 
and  Edward  Kelly  were  appointed  on  the  committee.  Mr. 
Keene  is  an  ex-ofneio  member.  The  committee  held  a  meet- 
ing during  the  evening,  at  which  it  was  stated  no  business  of 
importance  was  transacted. 

In  the  discussion  during  the  afternoon  many  important 
features  were  touched  upon.  It  was  pointed  out  that  if  the 
race  tracks  were  asked  to  maintain  their  stakes  and  purses  up 
to  the  old  standard  something  should  be  done  to  increase  the 
gate  receipts.  This,  it  was  suggested,  would  be  accomplished 
by  reason  of  the  fact  that  such  an  organization  would  tend  to 
very  materially  increase  public  confidence  in  the  management 
of  racing  and  so  insure  for  it  a  larger  measure  of  popular  sup- 
port. The  organization  would  also  adjustdates  so  as  to  avoid 
clashes,  which  would  provide  a  larger  revenue  than  the  race- 
tracks enjoy  under  the  present  system.  All  racing  associa- 
tions are  to  be  invited  to  become  members  of  the  organiza- 
tion. Naturally,  the  gentlemen  actively  interested  in  the 
discussion  were  loath  to  express  opinions  as  to  the  final  out- 
come of  the  movement  pending  the  conference  of  the  com- 
mittee with  the  race  track  owners.  It  was  a  representative 
gathering,  however,  and  it  was  easy  to  discern,  in  the  talk 
about  the  hotel  corridor,  a  great  deal  of  hopefulness  that  bene- 
ficial results  will  follow  the  meeting. — Spirit  of  the  Times. 


Death  of  T-^ro  Famous  Mares. 


A  Letter  From  J.  W.  Day. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Ten  years  ago  I 
wrote  you  several  letters  giving  you  my  ideas  of  breeding 
trotters  and  pacers.  I  went  on  to  say,  without  the  thorough- 
bred blood  in  either,  one  could  not  look  for  the  two-min- 
ute trotter  or  pacer — horsemen  called  me  a  crank.  Ooe  and 
all  said  "  I  don't  want  any  running  foolishness  in  mine." 
Well  they  got  it.  MaudS.  was  bred  that  way,  then  came  lit- 
tle J  ay -Eye-See — all  the  fast  ones  have  more  running  blood  in 
them  than  anything  else.  So,  "On  the  Road  "  was  not  the  crank, 
— it'was  the  other  fellows.  Then  I  held  up  John  Kelly  as  a 
driver  and  horseman,  as  well  as  a  reinsman;  they  all  gave  me 
the  laugh.  Who  is  it  on  now,  Joe  Day  or  the  chumps  who 
sail  Kelly  could  not  drive;  he  didn't  have  the  nerve.  I  guess 
they  forgot  that  the  Irish  blood  in  Kelly  would  go  up  against 
almost  anything.  Mr.  Crawford  told  me  this  very  morning 
that  he  regarded  Kelly  a  great  driver  and  reinsman.  I  am 
out  of  the  horse  business  now,  but  I  cannot  help  but  look  back 
and  think  over  what  old  man  Wallace  use  to  advocate.  Why 
the  blood  he  wanted  in  a  trotter  or  pacer  was  not  worth  breed- 
ing. If  be  wanted  to  he  would  see  it  now.  I  have  sat  on  the 
steps  of  the  Washington  Park  Club,  heard  men  say  then  that 
Kelly  could  not  drive  an  ox  team.  I  would  look  at  them,  of 
course  they  felt  as  though  what  they  asserted  was  ali  right, 
they  had  made  quite  a  little  money,  got  an  idea  that  God 
ran  out  of  material  when  he  made  them  ;  most  of  them  have 
gone  broke  since,  nobody  pays  any  attention  to  their  sayings 
at  the  present  writing ;  they  are  simply  absolutely  one  of  the 
objects  of  the  past.  Kelly  is  on  top  and  the  thoroughbred 
blood  is  showing  itself  every  day.  How  things  changel 
Chicago,  January  2,  1894. 


Mr.  Miles  I'Anson,  the  propr^tor  of  the  famous  Blink  Bon- 
nie Stud,  at  Malton,  in  Yorkshire,  where  the  great  family  of 
Queen  Mary  were  all  bred,  and  v?hcti  now  almost  all  the 
mares  trace  to  that  source,  has  just  bad.  two  of  his  old  favor- 
ites shot  owing  to  their  having  become  incapacitated  by  age. 
These  were  The  Pearl  (1S6S),  dam  of  Seloy  end  other  good 
ones,  by  Newminster,  out  of  the  wonderful  race  mare,  Caller 
Ou,  and  Red  Light  (1869),  dam  of  Incendiary,  now  a  great 
sire  in  Argentina,  by  Rataplan,  out  of  Borealis,  who  was  the 
first  foal  of  the  illustrious  Blink  Bonnie.  The  two  old  mares 
were  shot  by  Chivers,  the  stud  groom,  who  has  held  his  pres- 
ent position  since  the  early  days  of  Queen  Mary,  and  they 
were  buried  in  one  grave  beneath  a  tree  which  was  their  fav- 
orite shelter  on  sunny  or  rainy  days,  says  a  writer  in  the  Spirit 
of  the  Times. 

The  value  of  the  Qneen  Mary  blood  is  incalcuable,  and  we 
are  only  beginning  to  fully  realize  it.  Ladas,  the  Derby  favor- 
ite, has  two  splendid  lines  of  this  blood  through  Hampton 
and  Blair  Athol.  What  QueeD  Mary  has  done  for  the  Ameri- 
can turf,  too,  the  stud  record  o'  her  son,  Bonnie  Scotland, 
will  always  show;  and  Mr.  James  R.  KeeDe  is  lucky  in  hav- 
ingsecured  two  fine  young  mares  of  this  all-conquering  fam- 
ily. It  is  singular  indeed  that  one  of  them,  Bonnie  Gal, 
though  only  four  years  old,  should  be  removed  from  Queen 
Mary  by  one  generation  only,  her  dam  being  Bonnie  Doon, 
Queen  Mary's  last  foal,  and  it  is  more  than  fiity  years  since 
Queen  Mary  herself  was  foaled,  she  being  strangely  enough 
the  first  foal  of  her  dam,  who  was  but  three  years  old  when 
she  gave  birth  to  what  was  destined  to  be  the  most  famous 
matron  in  the  stud  book.  Bonnie  Gal  is  a  magnificent  mare, 
considered  by  most  judges  in  England  to  be  the  finest  ever 
sired  for  her,  for  Colonel  North,  whose  property  she  was, 
gave  instructions  when  she  went  up  for  sale  with  his  other 
horses  last  December  that  she  was  to  be  bought  in.  So  anx- 
ious was  he  about  this  that  he  told  Captain  Carvick  and  Mr. 
Ronald  Moncreifie,  both  of  whom  act  for  him,  to  see  to  it, 
and  they  happened  to  be  on  different  sides  of  Mr.  Tattersalls' 
box  when  the  mare  came  in.  She  was  quickly  run  up  1.500 
guineas,  and  then  came  a  bid  of  1,6.0  guineas.  Mr.  Mon- 
creifie thought  it  was  Captain  Carvick's  bid;  the  latter  thought 
it  was  Mr.  Moncreiffe's,  so  both  remained  silent  till  the  ham- 
mer fell,  and  Mr.  Allison  was  announced  as  the  purchaser. 
That  is  to  say,  Mr.  Keene  had  secured  a  mare  which  Colonel 
North  did  not  want  to  sell,  and  that,  at  about  half  her  value. 
Bonnie  Gal  was  this  year  mated  with  Prince  Rudolph, 
Prince  Charlie's  best  English  son,  and  this  cross  ought  to 
strongly  bring  out  the  true  merits  of  the  Queen  Mary 
family. 

The  other  Queen  Mary  mare,  secured  for  Mr.  Keene,  was 
Queen  of  Sheba,  by  Wisdom,  out  of  Bobbin  Around,  by  New- 
minster; second  dam  Bab  at  the  Bows ter,  by  Annandale,  out 
of  Queen  Mary.  Queen  of  Sheba  represents  the  family 
strongly  in  both  male  and  female  descent,  for  Wisdom  was  by 
Blinkhoolie,  by  Rataplan,  out  of  Queen  Mary.  To  further 
strengthen  the  combination,  she  was  this  year  mated  with 
Hampton,  who  also  traces  to  the  old  mare,  and  the  same  idea 
had  been  carried  out  the  year  before,  the  result  being  a  beau- 
tiful chestnut  tilly.  There  are,  of  course,  many  mares  to  be 
bought  with  Queen  Mary  blood  in  them,  but  very  few  like 
these,  coming  from  the  old  mare  in  the  diiect  femalt   line.

George  Walbaum,  the  Saratoga  and  Guttenburg  racing 
magnate,  left  for  the  East  Sunday.  He  was  asked  by  a 
number  of  the  most  prominent  turfmen  in  the  country  (by 
telegraph)  to  reopen  his  Saratoga  stakes,  on  account  of  the 
unsettled  condition  of  racing  aflairs  in  New  Jersey.  Mr.  Wal- 
baum did  not  think  that  would  be  fair  to  those  that  had  pre- 
viously entered  their  horses,  but  declared  his  intention  of 
getting  up  fifteen  new  liberal,  guaranteed  stakes  for  Saratoga, 
and  this  would  give  those  shut  out  at.  Monmouth  ample  op- 
portunity to  win  money  at  Horse  Haven. 


Captain  Ismailof,  who  came  to  America  in  the  Spring  with 
a  choice  selection  of  Orloffs  from  Russia  to  exhibit  at  the 
World's  Fair,  at  Chicago,  left  for  home  on  Wednesday,  Dec. 
20.  He  had  intended  to  give  our  readers  a  farewell  letter, 
but  time  pressed  so  closely  upon  him  that  he  deputed  the 
work  to  a  fellow  countryman,  who  sends  us  the  following  in- 
teresting notes : 

Wednesday  morning,  December  20,  the  steamer  Havel,  of 
the  Lloyd  line  (Bremen)  carried  away  Captain  Theodore 
Ismailof  on  his  way  back  to  his  native  Russia.  He  had,  only 
a  few  days  ago,  returned  from  atrip  to  California  and  Ken- 
tucky, where  he  gained  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  local 
conditions  and  methods  under  which  flourish  the  business  of 
horse  breeding  and  the  training  of  the  blooded  youngsters. 

California  impressed  Captain  Ismailof  profoundly  by  its 
climate  and  natural  beauties,  and  he  was  especially  struck 
with  the  size,  richness  in  stock  and  the  wonderful  furnish- 
ings of  the  farm  of  Palo  Alto,  where  he  saw  so  many  descend- 
ants of  the  great  Electioneer.  He  also  examined  and  greatly 
admired  the  celebrated  Ormonde,  and  was  glad  to  make  the 
personal  acquaintance  of  Guy  Wilkes,  who  enjoys  so  great  a 
reputation  as  a  sire  of  trotters. 

The  calcareous  soil  of  Kentucy,  with  its  peculiar  grass 
growth  (blue  grass),  appears  to  have  aroused  the  Captain's 
interest  in  a  degree  only  second  to  that  which  the  Californian 
climate  called  forth.  But  here  again  it  was  especially  the 
wealth  of  the  horse  material  on  the  various  stock  farms  which 
awakened  his  admiration.  He  examined  the  studs  of  Mr. 
Green  (near  Louisville),  of  Messrs.  Alexander  McDowell,  Ja- 
cer,  Swigert,  France  and  others,  not  to  mention  that  of  Mr. 
John  A.  Logan,  who  now  owos,  as  our  readers  know,  a  por- 
tion of  the  Russian  horse  exhibit,  and  which  the  Captain 
visited  several  times. 

In  addition  to  these  horses  and  those  acquired  by  Mr.  W. 
E.  D.  Stokes,  one  more  is  left  in  America  to  be  tested  as  to 
fleetness.  Krakus,one  of  the  fleetest  stallions  of  Russia,  whose 
record  of  2:20  for  a  distance  almost  equal  to  a  mile  has  never 
yet  been  broken.  We  hear  that  it  was  proposed  originally  to 
place  Krakus  for  training  there  with  Mr.  Charles  Marvin 
with  whom  Captain  Ismailof  spent  some  time  in  Meadville, 
in  order  to  study  more  closely  this  driver's  method  of  train- 
ing, which  are  well  known  iu  Russia  itself,  thanks  to  a  book 
be  published  ou  the  subject.  Finally,  however,  in  considera- 
tion of  particularly  favorable  climalical  conditions,  it  was 
decided  to  leave  Krakus  in  Mr.  Peter  Duryea's  full  charge 
and  control  with  a  view  of  sending  him  on  to  Calfornia  for 
training  under  Mr.  Orrio  Hickok. 

We  shall  follow  with  the  greatest  attention  this  interesting 
horse's  further  career,  as  he  has  already  contrived  to  give 
samples  of  his  capabilities  by  trotting,  but  no  preliminary 
preparation,  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  0:31},  a  few  weeks  ago,  in 
Kirkwood  Park. 

Captain  Ismailof  made  the  very  best  use  of  his  limited 
time,  and  can  justly  boast  that  he  leaves  this  country  carrying 
away  with  him  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  pedigrees  of 
our  principal  trotters,  and  that  he  has  studied  to  the  smallest 
details  the  various  methods  of  carrying  on  studbusiness,  the 
manner  of  breeding,  raising,  feeding  and  training  of  the  colts 
— a  knowledge  which  will  certainly  not  fail  to  benefit  this 
noble  pursuit  io  his  own  country.— Spirit  of  the  Times.

Staying  Blood. 

Australian  breeders  clxim  that  they  produce  the  greatest 
weight-packers  as  well  as  the  greatest  slayers  in  the  world- 
Whether  this  is  the  case  or  not,  we  must  admit  they  run  over 
longer  courses  anrl  carry  heavier  weights,  as  a  rule,  than  we 
do;  and  a  glance  "over  their  programmes  show  that  the  vari- 
ous organiiaSipna  in  the  antipodes  do  all  they  can  to  encour- 
age the  breeding  of  this  class  of  horse.  As  there  are  now 
over  twenty  stallions  in  this  State  bred  in  Australia,  it  will 
be  interesting  to  give  the  performances  of  the  renowned  Fish- 
ermXB,'  to  whom,  among  others,  Australia  attributes  her 
superiority  of  the  twenty  sires. 

'  The  following  sires  have  an  admixture  of  Fisherman  blood  : 
E.  J.  Baldwin's  The  Hook  was  by  Fish  Hook,  a  son  of  Fisher- 
man's ;  It.  E.  deB.  Lopez's  Merriwa's  sire  is  out  of  a  Fisher- 
man mare  (Sylvia  his  greatest  daughter) ;  B.  C.  Holly's  Par- 
amatta's grandam  (maternal)  is  by  Fisherman;  C.  B.  Lowe's 
Stromboli,  whose  dam  was  by  a  son  of  Fisherman ;  Trade 
Wind's  sire  is  from  a  mare  by  Fisherman.  Besides  these 
there  are  four  mares  io  this  State  by  sons  of  Fisherman.  It 
will  be  interesting,  therefore,  to  watch  what  effect  the  infusion 
of  this  blood  will  have  on  racing  in  this  State.  Appended 
are  Fisherman's  performances.  That  he  was  a  wonderful 
campaigner  none  will  deny,  and  the  weight  he  invariably 
gave  away  to  his  opponents  was  sufficient  to  anchor  anything 
but  a  first-class  race  horse,  as  he  undoubtedly  was. 

FISHERMAN. 

As  a  game  and  lasting  horse  Fisherman  may  challenge  the 
best  of  the  "  days  that  are  gone."  He  was  bred  by  the  late 
Mr.  Fowler,  of  Erdington  in  1S53.  His  sire  was  Heron,  out 
of  Mainbrace,  by  Sheet  Anchor;  her  dam  by  Bay  Middleton, 
out  of  Nitocris,  by  Whisker.  The  rest  of  his  dim's  pedigree 
is  simply  traced — Whisker,  Waxy,  Pot-8-os,  Eclipse. 

Heroo,  foaled  in  1833,  was  by  Bustard,  out  of  an  Orville 
mare.  Orville  1779  (his  dam  by  Highflyer)  was  by  Benning- 
brough  1791  (his  dam  by  Herod) ;  King  Fergus  1795  by 
Eclipse,  etc.  A  useful  country  race  horse,  more  stout  than 
speedy,  he  started  forty-one  (41)  times  and  won  seventeen. 
Heron  was  sire  of  Moorcock,  Kingfisher,  Oyster.Girl, Whale- 
bone. The  Drag,  Ibis,  Purser,  Vestris,  Egret,  Ribaldry,  The 
Witch,  Charlotte,  Sea  Fowl  and  others.  Fisherman,  the  colt 
of  his  twentieth  year,  leaves  his  other  progeny  in  the  shade. 

Mainbrace,  bred  by  Mr.  Watt  in  1844,  went  into  Mr.  Fow- 
ler's stud  in  1848.  She  threw  an  own  brother  to  Fisherman 
(Purser)  the  following  spring;  in  1851  a  filly,  Wave,  by 
Gabler,  and  Midshipman  (also  own  brother  to  Fisherman) 
in  1852.  On  the  death  of  Mr.  Fowler  in  1853,  Mainbrace 
(io  foal  to  Fisherman)  was  sold  for  $420,  and  went  into  Mr. 
Halford's  stud.  Maraschino,  by  Peppermint,  is  her  only 
recorded  foal  since. 

Fisherman  was  a  dark  brown  horse,  nearly  an  inch  over 
sixteen  hands  high.  He  had  a  coarse  head,  wide  between  the 
ears,  good  oblique  shoulders  and  great  depth  in  girth.  Well 
ribbed  up,  and  high  in  the  arms,  set  well  forward,  and  a  some- 
whatjlarge  oval  foot.  The  angle  from  the  hip  to  the  round 
bone  was  unusually  acute,  and  his  quarters  straight,  his  walk 
consequently  ungainly,  and  with  a  rocking  action.  In  brief,  a 
tall  gaunt  animal  and  another  proof  that  there  is  often  in  the 
horse,  as  the  human,  "  lhat.whicb  passeth  show,"  a  white 
splash  on  the  coronet  of  a  fore  and  hind  foot,  and  a  star  on 
his  forebead,  are  also  amongst  his  adornments.  His  per- 
formances, however,  are  more  to  the  question  than  his  per- 
sonnel, although  that  may  be  interesting  in  time  to  come. 
In  June,  1855,  Fisherman,  under  Mr.  Halford's  white  and 
blue  cap,  went  as  his  coup  d'essai,  at  Newton,  in  the  Gilborne 
Park  Stakes,  for  two-year-olds,  and  saved  his  stake  by  running 
second,  in  a  field  of  seven,  to  Mr.  Morris'  Tilly.  The  unpre- 
possessing youngster  was  not  in  the  betting.  On  Friday  at 
the  same  meeting  he  ran  third  for  the  Lynne  Park  Stake?, 
won  by  Mr.  E.  Parr's  Stork,  his  previous  victrix,  Tilly,  sec- 
ond. At  Carlisle  next  month,  he  again  met  his  kinsman, 
Stork  (Stork,  br  c  by  Gabbler  or  Sir  Isaac,  dam  by  Heron,  out 
of  Mystery,  and  was  again  second  in  a  two-year-old  sweep- 
stakes, beating  four  others  ;  all  six  placed.  At  Liverpool, 
July,  he  was  third  for  the  Stanley  Stakes,  won  by  the  three- 
year-old  Ellennire  (by  Chanticleer)  Gaudy  second.  He  was 
now  sold  to  Mr.  T.  Parr,  who  ran  him  at  Great  Yarmouth  for 
a  two-year-old  sweepstake  (at  112  pounds)  won  by  Capt. 
Lane's  brown  (illy  Persia,  109  pounds;  Fisherman  second, 
Keepsake  a  bad  third.  At  Abingdon,  in  August,  be  finished 
third  for  a  two-year-old  sweepstake,  won  by  Mr.  Elwes'  filly, 
The  British  Remedy;  The  Unexpected  second.  This  finished 
a  short  three  months' season,  and  the  lengthy  youngster  rus- 
ticated for  the  year.  1856  brought  out  Fisherman  no  less 
than  thirty-four  times.  He  opened  his  third  year  in  February, 
and  the  first  race  in  Weatberby's  calender,  at  Lincoln,  by 
playing  second  fiddle  (at  98  pounds)  to  the  lead  of  Mr.  Parker's 
Tame  Deer,  95  pounds,  for  the  Irial  Stakes,  The  following 
day,  not  to  be  idle,  he  went  for  the  Lincoln  Spring  Handicap, 
at  88  pounds  won  by  the  four-year-old  Flageolet;  Vamessa, 
four  years,  88  pounds  second;  Fisherman  third.  A  neck  be- 
tween f]  rut  and  second  and  the  same  between  second  and  third. 
Fisherman  now  began  to  "run  on."  At  Nottingham  Spring 
he  won  the  Trial  Stakes  (90  pounds)  beating  Anthracite,  four 
years  111  pounds  second;  Alfred,  91  pounds,  third.  At 
Warwick  Spring  he  carried  off  the  Trial  Stakes,  beating  his 
old  antagonist,  Stork,  at  even  weights,  Jack  Sheppard  and 
Magnus  third  and  fourth.  At  Northampton,  he  opened  the 
meeting  by  winning  the  Trial  Stakes  at  102  pounds  (includ- 
ing nine  pounds  extra),  turning  biie  tables  on  another  old  vic- 
trix in  Tame  I>eer,  99  pounds,  by  four  lengths.  Travelling 
far  south  to  Epsom,  he  was  second  by  half  a  length  to  Mr. 
Ridley's  Hospitality  for  the  City  and  Suburban  Handicap; 
Ellennire,  another  opponent,  third.  A  good  field  of  twenty 
homes  not  placed.  He  took  second  place  (at  nine  pounds  extra) 
again  at  the  Newmarket  Craven,  in  the  Craven  Stakes,  won 
by  Mr.  Dawson's  Napoleon  III,  Tug  of  War  third.  At  the 
same  meeting  on  Thursday  he  ran  third,  carrying  82  pounds 
to  the  Earl,  four  yearn,  99  pounds,  and  Diego,  three  years,  77 
poands,  the  first  and  second  in  the  Newmarket  Handicap; 
Fisherman  now  won  a  dozen  races  in  succession,  cloee  to- 
gether. At  York  Spring,  on  Tuesday,  he  won  the  Spring  St. 
Leger,  :it  122  pounds,  heating  Heir  of  Linne,  121  pounds,  and 
Clarendon,  118  pounds,  easily.  Wells  was  now,  for  the  lirst 
time,  astride  hi:n,  and  next  day  won  the  Spring  Biennial 
Btakea  a^!22  pound-*,  beating  Ellington,  122  pounds,  and 
Viscount,  116  pounds  ;  2  to  1  on  Ellington.  At  Chester 
Spring  the  CFiesterfield  Stakes  fell  to  him,  at  117  pounds-

and  third,  ten  others  not  placed  ;  won  easily  by  two  lengths.

years,  93  pounds,  third  ;  won  easily  by  a  head.  (Warlock's 
rider  was  said  to  have  pulled  his  horse  by  mistake  at  a  wrong 
ending  post,  and  thus  lost  ground).  At  Liverpool,  July, 
Fisherman  walked  over  for  the  Croxton  Bark  Stakes,  and  at 
the  same  meeting,  at  the  top  weight  131  pounds,  beat  Remedy

de  Main  116  pounds.  At  Plymouth  lie  walked  over  for  the 
Queen's  Vase,  for  three-year-olds  and  upwards  (heats),

two  lengths  by  Melissa,  94  pounds,  for  the 
Warwick  Cup,  Mr.  Sykes,  126  pounds,  third.  At  Weymouth

with  5  to  4  on  her,  Zeta  broke  down.  On  Thursday  Fisher- 
man had  a  walk-over  for  the  Scarborough  Stakes,  and  made 
a  trip  to  Pontefract  the  next  week,  where  he  was  third  for 
the  West  Riding  Handicap,  won  by  Sir  Tatton  Sykes,  119

mulin, 30  to  1  against  Mincepie  ;  won  by  half  a  length,  a  bad 
third.  This  was  indeed  a  strong  year's  work  for  a  three-year- 
old,  but  Tom  Parr  does  not  let  a  horse  "  rust  in  idleness,"  and 
the  rail  has  multiplied  and  accelerated  the  rapidity  and  safety 
of  transit.  Fisherman,  at  four  years  old,  began  the  same 
round  game,  running  thirty-six  times  and  winning  twenty- 
three.  At  Liverpool  Spring  (March  3d)  he  began  by  win- 
ning the  Trial  Stakes,  at  116  pounds,  beating  Special  License,

lengths  from  Wentworth.  At  Northampton  he  was  first  for 
the  Queen's  Plate,  128  pounds;  Malacca,  12S  pounds,  sec- 
ond ;  Grayling,  94  pounds,  third.  Seven  to  one  on  Fisher- 
man ;  won  by  a  length ;  a  bad  third ;  the  rest  beaten  off. 
Epsom  was  again  unfavorable;  Fisherman,  136  pounds, 
was  not  placed  for  the  Metropolitan,  won  by  Poodle,  112 
pounds;  Adams,  120  pounds,  second;  Pantomine,  112 
pounds,  third.  At  Chester  Spring  Geg  ma-di-  Vergy, 
96  pounds,  reversed  a  former  verdict  by  winning  the  Groves- 
nor  Stakes,  for  which  Fisherman,  119  pounds,  ran  third,  Dru- 
mour,  101  pounds,  being  second.  At  the  same  meeting  on 
Wednesday,  Fisherman,  135  pounds,  won  the  Queen's  Guin- 
eas from  Sirius,  at  even  weights  by  two  lengths.  Long  odds 
on  Fisherman.  <  >n  the  Friday,  Gemma  di-Vergy,  at  107 
pounds  (inc.  6  pounds  extra),  met  and  beat  Fisherman,  128 
pounds,  by  a  short  head,  for  the  Eaton  Stakes;  7  to  4  on 
Gemma-di-Vergy.  At  Stockbridge  he  won  the  Stewards' 
Plate  of  $1,525,  at  121  pounds,  beating  Polestar,  120  pounds,

canter,  5  to  1  on  Fisher m in.  He  walked  over  next  day  for

ington, 118  pounds,  Gunboat,  91  pounds  (2),  Somerset  (3)

French  horse  Monarque,  five  years,  121  pounds,  Reserber, 
100  pounds   (2),  Fisherman,  127  pounds   (3).     At  Wolver-

ball  at  104  pounds  (2),  Mary,  127  pounds  (3).  Won  by  two 
lengths,  Mary  tailed  off*.  Fisherman  was  objected  to  as  not 
having  carried  his  proper  weight,  but  the  Btakes  were  paid 
over  to  his  owner.  On  Wednesday,  in  the  York  August 
meetings,  Fisherman  again  met  his  old  friend  Warlock  fcr 
the  Queen's  Plate,  at  even  weights,  124  pounds,  and  with  5

In  1855,  as  a  two-year-old,  Fisherman  started  six  times 
without  winning. 

In  1856,  as  a  three-year-old,  he  started  thirty-four  times 
and  won  twenty-three.

won  twenty-three. 

In  1858,  as  a  five-year-old,  he  started  thirty-two  times  and 
won  twenty-one.

Fisherman  started  one  hundred  and  twenty  times,  won 
seventy,  ran  second  in  fifteen  and  third  in  thirteen.  Total

In  1860  Fisherman  went  to  stud,  and  was  advertised  at  Mr. 
Gulliver's,  Swallcliffe,  Banbury,  at  $125. 

This  stout  horse  was  subsequently  sold  to  a  gentleman  of 
the  name  of  Fisher  and  sent  to  Australia.  After  a  prosper- 
ous voyage  he  arrived  at  Sydney,  accompanied  by  Gilder- 
mire,  Marchioness  and  Juliet.     Fisherman  died  in  1868. 

Names  Claimed. 


Auction  Sales  to  Take  Place. 


By  referring  to  our  advertising  columns  it  will  be  seen  that 
beside  the  great  sale  of  thoroughbred  mares  which  comprised 
the  Guenoc  stud,  several  other  very  important  ones  are  to 
take  place.  The  first  one  is  the  sale  from  the  Palo  Alto  Stock 
Farm,  and  is  to  take  place  at  Los  Angeles  Thursday,  January 
30th.  This  will  afford  residents  of  the  orange  belt  an  oppor- 
tunity of  securiog  some  fine  stallions, very  choice  broodmares, 
well-bred  colts  and  fillies,  besides  geldings  suitable  for  the 
track  or  road.  That  it  will  be  a  grand  sale  everyone  who  has 
seen  the  stock  predicts. 

The  next  one  to  take  place  is  the  closing-out  sale  of  all 
the  trotting  stock,  driving  and  work  horses,carriages,  buggies, 
harness,  etc.,  owned  by  the  estate  of  Wm.  H.  Graves,  de- 
ceased. This  sale  will  take  place  at  the  Napa  Fair  Grounds, 
one  week  from  next  Saturday,  February  3d.  As  Mr.  Graves 
was  considered  unequalled  as  a  judge  of  horses,  those  who  at- 
tend the  sale  will  be  quick  to  see  that  he  made  no  mistakes, 
and  should  they  secure  any  of  the  animals  they  will  never 
have  cause  to  regret  it.  Catalogues  will  be  issued  next 
week. 

The  next  sale  after  this  will  take  place  in  this  city  at  KUlip 
&  Co.'s  saleyard,  and  every  one  who  is  looking  for  standard 
and  registered  royally-bred  colts  and  fillies  to  train  to  drive 
on  the  road  or  breed  is  waiting  anxiously  for  this  sale,  the 
annual  sale  of  trotting  stock  from  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock 
Farm.  It  is  a  curious  fact  that  not  a  single  animal  sold  at 
the  last  annual  sale  has  been  advertised  or  sold  at  public  auc- 
tion since,  and  every  purchaser  takes  as  much  pride  to-day  in 
the  ownership  of  the  youngsters  they  secured  as  they  did  on 
the  day  they  paid  for  them.  More  extended  notices  of  this 
and  the  other  sales  will  appear  hereafter.  Messrs.  Killip  & 
Co.  auctioneers,  are  to'conduct  all  these  sales.  The  last  one, 
but  by  no  means  the  least  that  is  advertised,  is  that  of  the  trot- 
ting stock  of  the  To  Kalon  Stock  Farm.  H.  W.  Crabb,  the 
well-known  wine  manufacturer,  finds  that  his  business  cares 
absorb  too  much  of  his  time  to  expend  any  for  the  pursuit  he 
loves  so  well,  breeding  and  developing  fine  trotters.  For 
years  he  uas  been  breeding  and  purchasing  the  best  horses  in 
Napa  county,  and  now  he  finds  that  the  cares  of  having  so 
many  are  too  much,  and  rather  than  sell  only  a  few  he  has 
decided  to  sell  every  stallion,  mare,  colt  and  filly  on  the  farm 
except  a  few  heavy  work  horses.  The  sale  will  take  place  at 
Napa  Race  Track  February  21st,  and  it  promises  to  be  a  well 
attended  one.  Catalogues  are  being  published.  F.  W.  Loe- 
ber  is  making  all  the  arrangements.

In  another  portion  of  this  paper  will  be  found  advertised 
the  great  Australian  stallion,  Loyalist.  Not  only  was  Loyalist 
one  of  the  speediest  horses  in  the  Colonies  (he  ran  one  and  a 
quarter  miles  in  2:08^  over  a  turf  course  when  he  won  the 
Brunswick  Stakes),  but  he  is  a  magnificent  individual,  15.3 
hands  in  height — the  picture  of  a  race  horse  of  royal  lineage. 
And  speaking  of  pedigree,  Loyalist  has  one  that  judges  of 
blood-lines  cannot  help  enthusing  over.  Just  think  of  it !  By 
a  winner  of  the  St.  Legerand  Two  Thousand  Guineas  in  Eng- 
land that  was  by  the  greatest  of  St.  Leger  winners  (the  immor, 
tal  Stockwell),  he  is  from  a  mare  by  The  Peer  (sire  of  imp. 
Darebin),  by  Melbourne  (sire  of  the  famous  West  Australian, 
winner  of  Derby,  St.  Leger  and  2,000  Guineas  as  well  as 
Blink  Bonny,  winner  of  Derby  and  Oaks).  Loyalist  has  four 
crosses  of  the  great  sire  blood — Touchstone — and  besides  has 
the  invaluable  Stockwell  cross  as  close  up  as  any  horse  in  the 
world.  In  fact,  there  are  only  two  grandsons  of  Stockwell  in 
America,  and  probably  not  twenty  in  the  world.  Loyalist 
being  a  young  horse,  there  are  few  of  his  youngsters,  but  one 
of  them  was  so  promising  that  A.  B.  Spreckels  paid  $1,500 
for  her  recently.  Believing  that  Loyalist  (winner  of  first  prize 
in  1893  at  the  State  Fair)  will  make  a  great  name  for  him- 
self at  the  stud  if  given  the  opportunity,  his  owner  has  de- 
cided to  place  his  service  fee  at  $50,  making  it  within  the 
reach  of  all  owners  of  thoroughbred  matrons.  Address  all 
communications  to  Orville  Appleby,  Agricultural  Park,  San 
Jose,  Cal.  He  is  also  'standing  the  young  son  of  Wild- 
idle,  Wild  Rose,  at  $15.  Read  the  advertisement  and  book 
your  mares  at  once. 


Frank  Van  Ness  Interviewed. 


Frank  Van  Ness  recently,  to  a  St.  Louis  newspaper  man. 
unbosomed  himself  as  follows  as  to  his  trouble  with  the  Blood, 
Horse  people  in  California.     Hei  s  quoted  as  saying  : 

"  I  have  been  persecuted  in  many  ways  because  I  would 
not  sell  Morello  at  a  low  price  before  he  won  the  Futurity  of 
1892.  The  story  of  how  the  crack  Eastern  jockeys  were  en- 
gaged and  kept  on  the  ground  to  prevent  them  riding  Morello 
is  turf  history.  Men  like  the  Dwyers  were  after  me  to  sell 
Morello  for  §15,000  or  so.  I  knew  what  Morello  was.  He 
had  nearly  paid  for  himself.  The  $40,450  Futurity  was  in 
sight,  and  I  could  afiord  to  take  a  chance.  So  I  told  them  and 
Eastern  race  track  officials  who  came  at  me  from  all  corners. 
The  combination  had  overlooked  Hay  ward. 

"  If  it  had  not  Josh  Jones  would  have  ridden  the  Futurity 
winner  of  1892.  Then  I  lost  my  license  through  the  same  in- 
fluence, and  came  West.  I  was  followed  and  pinched  by  an 
old  trotting  decision  that  ruled  me  off  for  driving  a  ringer 
that  I  did  not  know  was  a  ringer.  I  had  neglected  the  case, 
When  it  became  necessary  I  proved  my  innocence,  and  the 
way  was  clear  for  Morello  and  my  selling  platers.  Mr.  Wil- 
liam Singerly,  of  the  Philadelphia  Record,  owns  an  interest 
in  Morello.  He  advanced  me  part  of  the  money  I  paid  for 
the  colt,  and  I  insisted  on  him  retaining  the  interest,  though 
he  would  have  been  satisfied  with  the  money." 

The  above  was  printed  in  a  St.  Louis  paper  and  also  in  the 
New  York  Sporting  World.  Mr.  Van  Ness  declared  in  our 
office  yesterday  that  the  above  was  correct  in  every  particular 
to  the  best  of  his  belief. 


Foals  of  1894. 


Jan.  11. — Sossimo,  by  Wildidle,  dam  Prosperpine,  by 
Daniel  Boone,  foalrd  a  brown  colt  by  Pescador,  with  four 
white  feet  and  a  white  face.  Property  of  Ashcroft  &  Dickey, 
of  San  Bernardino,  Cal.  This  colt  was  foaled  on  Dr.  Dickey's 
sixty-fifth  birthday. 

Robert  Smith,  the  popular  jockey-trainer  who  has  been 
with  Hugh  Kirkendall,  of  Helena,  Mont.,  for  the  past  two 
years,  arrived  here  last  Thursday,  and  will  in  all  probability 
do  some  riding  at  the  local  race  meeting.  He  made  a  great 
name  for  himself  this  season  in  Montana  and  at  Hawthorne 
Park,  Chicago.

Splendid  Thoroughbred  Broodmares. 

Nest  Monday,  January  22,  a  notable  sale  of  thoroughbred 
matrons  takes  place  in  this  city — twenty-four  head  from  the 
Guenoc  Stock  Farm  of  Frederick  Gebhard  in  Lake  county. 
Killip  &  C».  will  conduct  the  sale  at  their  salesyard,  corner 
Van  Ness  avenue  and  Market  street.  Some  of  the  best-bred 
mares  to  be  found  in  the  world  are  in  this  collection.  They 
are  by  such  tried  sires  as  Hindoo,  Wildidle,  Daniel  Boone, 
Joe  Hooker,  imp.  King  Ban,  Young  Haddington,  imp.  King 
Ernest,  imp.  Glenelg  and  Orest.  Those  who  are  intending  to 
try  their  luck  in  the  business  of  breeding  thoroughbreds  (for 
which  there  is  a  great  market  here)  can  certainly  find  mares 
bred  to  their  liking  at  this  great  sale.  These  matrons  are  in 
foal  to  such  good  horses  as  St.  Saviour  (sire  of  Zobair),  imp. 
Greenback  (sire  of  Currency  and  Satanella)  ard  Owas,  nearly 
full  brother  to  the  wonderful  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom 
Derby  in  England  and  sire  of  Tammany,  Huron  and  other 
great  performers  in  this  country,  being  by  Reform,  dam  Mag- 
gie B.  B.,  by  imp.  Australian.

B.  C.  Holly,  one  of  the  leading  turfmen  on  this  coast  for 
many  years,  has  been  a  very  sick  man  recently,  and  it  will 
be  several  days  before  he  is  able  to  leave  his  room.  He 
suffers  from  asthma  and  pneumonia.  From  the  former  dis- 
ease he  has  been  a  terrible  «uflerer  for  many  years.  Mr. 
Holly,  last  Tuesday,  in  an  interview,  declared  his  intention 
of  retiring  from  the  turf  aad  selling  all  his  racehorses  in 
training  next  week.  No  better  trainer  than  Mr.  Holly  ever 
lived  on  this  Coast,  and  the  "all  green"  has  flashed  by  the 
winning  post  first  as  often  as  any  colors  we  have  ever  known. 
"  Yes,  it  is  true  I  am  to  sell  out,"  said  Mr.  Holly  to  a  reporter 
who  called  to  see  the  well-known  trainer  last  Tuesday  night. 
''I  am  getting  to  be  an  old  man.  For  the  past  three  months 
I  have  been  trying  to  train  the  horses  myself,  but  I  am  no 
longer  equal  to  the  occasion,  and  although  it  nearly  breaks 
my  heart  to  part  with  some  of  the  horses,  every  one  now  in 
training  will  be  sold  under  the  hammer  nest  week.  There 
will  be  no  reserve.  Game  and  speedy  little  Happy  Day  will 
go  with  the  rest.  Mr.  Holly  gazed  at  the  fire  a  few  seconds, 
apparently  thinaing  what  a  great  bread-winner  he  was  about 
to  sell.  ''It  is  this  way,"  continued  the  sick  man,  "  I  have 
had  a  cold  off  and  on  for  the  past  two  months,  and  I  cannot 
stand  the  early  morning  work  any  longer ;  it  is  too  severe 
on  a  man  as  old  as  I  am.  Of  course  I  will  keep  my  stallions 
Major  Ban,  Paramatta  and  El  Ray 0  and  all  my  broodmares." 
Among  the  horses  that  will  be  disposed  of  at  the  Holly  sale 
are  Happy  Day,  Sympathetic^  Last,  Centurion,  Green  Hock, 
Ravine,  Francesca,  Steadfast  and  some  half  a  dozen  others. 

C.  F.  Fleischman  &  Son,  of  Cincinnati,  have  decided 
their  plans  for  next  season.  The  stable  will  start  out  with 
26  flyers  in  training,  of  which  17  are  two-year-olds  and 
9  are  three-year-olds.  They  will  begin  the  season's  cam- 
paign at  Memphis.  Bob  Tucker,  who  will  train  and  have 
entire  charge  of  the  string,  will  keep  eleven  of  the  horses  in 
the  West  and  ship  the  remainder  to  the  big  Ecstern  tracks. 
Trainer  Tucker  and  Jockey  "Soup"  Perkins  will  remain 
with  the  Western  division  until  the  close  of  the  Latonia 
Spring  meeting,  when  they  will  come  East,  and  Lew  Elmore 
will  take  charge  of  the  Western  division.

A  San  Antonio,  Tex.,  dispatch  of  January  11th  says: 
Ira  E.  Bride,  Secretary  of  the  Penon  race  meeting,  City  of 
Mexico,  is  here  for  the  purpose  of  arranging  with  the  San 
Antonio  Jockey  Club  to  eive  a  running  meeting  here  the 
latter  part  of  this  month.  Mr.  Bride  states  that  the  horses 
now  participating  in  the  Mexican  meeting  will  leave  for  the 
United  States  in  a  few  days,  and  they  would  like  to  stop  over 
here  if  a  meeting  can  be  arranged. 

The  stock  ranch  of  527  acies  at  Bay  Point,  Contra  Costa 
county,  advertised  in  this  issue,  is  worthy  os  the  attentiou  of 
horsemen.  It  can  be  made  the  best  paying  piece  of  property 
for  the  amount  invested  of  any  ranch  in  California.

Mr.  Wm.  Cattldwell  has  purchased  Daily  America  and 
consolidated  it  with  the  Sunday  Mercury.  The  new  paper 
will  pay  attention  to  affairs  of  sports,  as  well  as  politics,  and 
has  our  best  wishes.

If  you  have  any  mares  that  you  believe  are  barren  write  to 
Orlando  Crittenden,  Oberliu,  0.,  for  the  safety  Pregnat  jt  and 
you  will  have  no  trouble  in  getting  them  in  foal.  See  ad- 
vertisement. 

The  Oregon  stallion  Challenger  Chief,  2:16,  will  make  a 
spring  season  at  Sacramento.  He  is  just' the  kind  of  a  horse 
that  will  cross  well  with  our  California  mares. 

Richard  Fallon,  of  Hollester,  Cal.,  this  week  purchased 
the  very  fast  sprinter,  Valledore.  Valledore,  we  believe,  has 
never  been  beaten  in  any  race  short  of  half  a  mile. 

Kate  Ewino,  2:21},  is  being  bred  lo  Challenger  Chief, 
2:16,  this  season.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


Kremlin's  (2:07j)  fee  will  remain  at  #400  this  year. 

The  trotter  that  can  trot  could  never  before  win  as  much 
money  as  at  the  present  time. 

Margaret  S.,  2:12.},  by  Director,  2:17,  will  be  bred  to 
Robert  McGregor,  2:17  j,  this  year. 

Challenger  Chief  won  first  money  in  three  $1000  and 
two  $G00  purses  at  the  fall  meetings  of  1893. 

DlRECTOU's  fee  will  be $500  this  year.  He  will  be  in  charge 
of  John  Kelly,  the  driver  who  gave  him  his  low  record. 

There  is  not  a  word  of  truth  in  the  newspaper  report  that 
Andrew  McDowell  is  goiDg  to  train  for  Monroe  Salisbury 
this  year.  

If  Yon  have  a  good  colt  put  him  into  only  the  very  best 
hands.  If  you  have  a  poor  one  trade  him  away  for  an  empty 
stall.  

The  daughters  of  Daniel  Lambert  have  produced  forty- 
nine  in  the  list,  the  fastest  of  which  are  the  pacer  Prima 
Donna,  2:00],  and  the  trotter  Pamlico,  2:10^. 

Flying  Jib  made  five  starts  against  time  and  took  a 
record  of  2:04  at  that  way  of  going,  and  he  has  paced  fifteen 
heats  in  2:10  or  better,  his  best  race  record  being  2:04:,, 

Mrs.  C.  R.  NoYES,  Boston,  Mass.,  has  sold  to  Lincoln  Mor- 
rison, Boston,  the  yearling  colt  Regal  Nelson,  by  Nelson, 
2:09,  dam  Marietta,  sister   to  Direct,  2:05^,  by  Director. 

It  is  understood  that  McHenry  will  hold  the  lines  over  the 
Salisbury  string  on  the  Eastern  circuit  in  1S94.  The  young- 
sters will  be  handled  for  speed  by  some  of  our  best  colt 
handlers  here. 

The  wonderful  trotter  Gossiper,  2:14|  race  record,  will 
make  the  season  of  1S94  at  Pleasanton  at  the  low  price  of  $60 
for  the  season.  Owners  of  good  broodmares  cannot  complain 
of  high  stallion  service  fees  this  year. 

If  you  have  a  first-class  broodmare  breed  her  to  the  best 
stallion  available,  provided  she  is  a  sure  producer.  If  you 
have  a  second-class  broodmare  don't  breed  her  to  any  stallion 
unless  you  are  absolutely  certain  she  is  barren. 


Lady-  Woodpurn,  by  Bayard  53,  dam  Blandina,  by  Mam- 
brino  Chief;  second  dam  the  Burch  Mare,  the  dam  of  Rosa-

twenty-three  years  old  last  spring,  and  died  the  property  of 
H.  V.  Smith,  Des  Moines.  Mr.  Smith  still  owns  her  last  foal 
— a  yearling  filly  by  Onward  Boy. 

A  number  of  people  interested  in  stock  farms  have  signi- 
fied tbeir  intentioD  of  making  a  trip  to  Los  Angeles,  and 
after  purchasing  some  of  the  grandly-bred  mares  and  colts  at 
the  Palo  Alto  sale  to  be  held  there,  will  visit  some  of  the 
beautiful  orange  groves  and  places  of  interest  in  that  vicinity 
thus  combining  business  with  pleasure. 

Don't  forget  to  make  entries  for  the  fall  meeting  of  the 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association.  The  plan  adopted  by  this  organ- 
ization is  meeting  with  the  approval  of  every  horseman  who 
has  given  it  any  study.  It  is  the  best  thing  ever  devised  to 
create  a  greater  interest  in  the  business  of  training  and  racing 
trotters  and  pacers.     Remember  entries  close  February  1st. 

McKinney,  2:111,  will  stand  for  $100  at  Pleasanton  this 
year.  C.  A.  Durfee,  his  owner,  will  bring  up  several  young- 
sters by  McKinney  to  develop  on  the  far-famed  PleasantoD 
track.  This  idea  of  showing  the  progeny  of  a  stallion  to  men 
who  contemplate  breediug  mares,  is  as  an  old  philosopher 
replied,  when  asked  if  he  ever  drank:  "Gentlemen,  an 
ocular  demonstration  is  the  best  proof." 


Leaving  shoes  on  over  twenty-five  or  thirty  days  causes 
corns  and  contractions  which  are  serious  and  difficult  to  cure, 
and  cause  great  distress  and  lameness.  It  is  well  to  omit  the 
back  nail  on  inside  of  fore  feet  to  allow  the  hoof  to  spread. 


At  Columbia,  Tenn.,  Direct  paced  three  heats  in  2:09,2:0S, 
2:0S|  to  a  high  wheel  sulky  average  ;  2:08  7-12.  At  Lexington 
Directum  trotted  three  heals  of  a  race  after  dropping  the 
second  in  2:09],  2:08.1  and  2:0S,  to  a  bicycle  sulky;  average, 
2:087-12. 


"  I  should  like  to  have  purchased  a  few  at  that  price,"  is 
the  remark  often  heard  after  the  prices  received  at  a  sale  of 
trotting  or  running  stock  have  been  published.  Many  per- 
sons who  would  be  willing  to  pay  a  fair  price  for  a  horse  stay 
away  from  the  sales  because  they  are  afraid  the  prices  will  go 
j  too  high.  Get  a  catalogue,  go  the  sales.  You  need  not  buy 
unless  you  think  you  are  setting  your  money's  worth. 

C.  J.  Cox,  of  Hollister,  is  going  to  stand  Bay  Rum,  2:20, 
at  Hollister  this  year.  Bay  Rum  is  by  John  Sevenoaks  (son 
of  Nutwood,  2:181),  out  of  QuienSabe,  by  Hambletonian725; 
granddam  Kate,  by  Monte,  by  Williamson's  Belmont.  Bay 
Rum  is  a  remarkably  fine-looking  individual,  and  were  it  not 
for  the  fact  that  he  had  a  bad  quarter-crack  he  would  have 
made  a  low  record  at  the  Breeders'  meeting  last  summer. 

Walter  Maben",  of  Los  Angeles,  is  on  a  visit  to  this  city- 
He  says  a  greater  interest  is  being  taken  in  trotters  and  pacers 
in  the  southern  part  of  the  State  than  ever.  The  number  of 
excellent  drives  through  orange  groves  are  daily  frequented 
by  all  the  rich  and  influential  residents  and  their  friends.  He 
says  there  will  be  more  good  colts  and  fillies  in  training  this 
year  than  at  any  time  duiing  Mr.  Maben's  remembrance. 

The  annual  death  rate  of  horses  in  New  York  City  is  14,- 
000,  and  about  13,000  go  lame.  The  latter  circumstance  is 
not  surprising,  as  very  many  of  the  horses  in  use  for  heavy 
cartage  come  from  the  Western  country,  where  they  have 
traveled  upon  soft  roads,  and  the  change  to  stone  breaks  them 
up.  The  toot  is  the  first  part  that  gives  out.  The  hard  pave- 
ment causes  the  hoof  to  split  and  the  horse  is  soon  disabled. 
They  are  used  up  in  three  or  four  years. 


Lucille  Golddust,  2:161,  by  Golddust  150,  dam  by  Bald 
Hornet,  died  recently  at  Utica,  N.  Y.  Lucille  Golddust  made

A.  H.  Moore  and  George   H.  Ketchem  have  exchanged  ! 
stallion   services  and    the  former  will  breed  Margaret  S.,  4,  ' 
2:12£,  by   Director,  to   Robert   McGregor,  while   the   Ohio 
breeder  sends  Nyanza,  4,  2:15$,  by  Robert  McGregor,  to  the  ; 
court  of  Director. 

The  Jngalls  Driving  Park  of  Joliet,  III.,  claims  August  7 
to   10   for  its  trotting    meeting   for  1S94.     Morris,  III.,  will  j 
hold  a  meeting   the  week  following,   August  14  to  17,  and 
as  both  are  mile  tracks,  it  will  pay  those  who  expect  to  cam-  \ 
paign  to  remember  the  dates. 

One  of  the  smartest  two-year-olds  at  the  Buffalo  track  is

C.  X.  IIebert  has  received  notice  from  the  Americen  Trot- 
ting Register  Association  that  his  stallion  Bruno,  2.19,  has

also  been  registered  as  standard  in  the  same  volume. 

Wii  i  PPLETON  has  had  four  new  ones  to  add  to  his  list  in 
1893.  Molly  Patton,  2:28},  Glaucus,  2:80,  Cora  C,  2:22i  and 
Like  Like, 2:26  ;  this  makes  nine  to  his  credit.  Whippleton 
is  also  the  sire  of  the  dam  of  Topsey,  the  two-year-old  by 
Grandis-utno,  2;23J,  that  got  a  record  of  2:29-1  at  Napa 
last  fall.  

"  Any  turf  writer  who  alludes  to  a  foal  being  'born,'  and  to 
the  'children  '  of  mares,  should,  especially  in  the  summer," 
&yt  Editor  Austin, "  part  his  hair  in  the  middle,  wear  a  pan- 
cake bat,  red  necktie,  green  vest,  yellow  coat,  and  white 
pants  turned  up  at  the  bottom.  There  are  some  things  softer 
than  putty." 

APPLICATIONS  for  stallion  cards  of  all  the  stallions  that 
were  advertised  hist  year  in  th'H  journal  are  coming  in  every 
day.  Shillion  owners  who  do  not  advertise  soon,  will  be 
regretting  i'.  for  owners  of  good  broodmares  are  anxious  to 
breed  to  the  very  best,  knowing  that  this  "dull  spell"  will 
not  last  long. 

Mb.  Sausimuy  and  Mr.   Kelly,  his  driver,  have  agreed  to

A  Terse  Haute  dispatch  says  :  The  Axtell  syndicate  has 
been  striking  a  halance  in  the  stallion's  account  and  hnd  he 
has  earned  up  to  the  first  of  the  year  $170,000  in  stud  fees. 
When  the  syndicate  bought  him  the  day  he  made  his  record 
of  2:12  here  they  paid  C.  W.  Williams  $55,000  in  cash  and 
gave  their  note  for  $50,000  at  6  per  cent  for  one  year.  With 
the  interest  the  stallion  cost  $10S,000.  His  fee  has  been  re- 
duced to  $200,  and  it  is  beyond  doubt  that  a  total  of  $200,000 
will  be  reached.  With  him  at  Warren  Park  now  are  twenty- 
eight  of  his  two-year-old  colts  in  charge  of  H.  P.  Kelley  (Bull 
Puncher),  who  is  known  as  the  driver  of  American  Girl. 


Only  five  two-year-olds  have  held  champion  honors,  and 
all  are  by  the  dead  Electioneer  except  Sweetheart,  by  Sultan, 
out  of  Mionehaha.  Sweetheart  was  the  first  to  enter  the  2:30 
list  at  that  age,  when  she  trotted  the  Sacramento,  Cal.,  track 
September  25,  1SS0,  in  2:26^,  a  reductiou  of  four  and  oue- 
half  seconds  from  the  record  of  the  George  Wilkes  filly,  So 
So,  2:31.  November  20,  18S0,  the  Electioneer  family  began 
reducing  it,  when  Fred  Crocker  stepped  the  San  Francisco 
track  in  2:25.',,  but  just  one  year  later  WUdfiower  reduced  it 
on  the  same  course  to  2:21,  which  stood  until  Sunol  twice 
lowered  it  in  1888,  to  2:20i  and  2:18.  Then  the  great  Arion 
in  three  successive  attempts  reduced  it  to  2:15$,  2:14$  and 
2:10'],  which  no  doubt  will  remain  unchanged  for  many  years.

The  fastest  yearling  pacer  everseeoat  the  Pleasanton  track 
is  by  Direct,  out  of  a  mare  by  Naubuc.  He  is  the  talk  of  the 
village.  The  Naubuc  mares  are  sure  to  become  great  brood- 
mares. Like  Like,  2:25,  Cora  C,  2:22$,  Molly  Patton,  2:28£, 
Eva  \V.,  2:251,  and  Redwood,  2:27,  are  all  out  of  mares  by 
Naubuc.  This  horse  came  to  California  a  number  of  years 
ago,  and  had  little  or  no  opportunities  in  the  stud.  His 
progeny  are  level-headed,  game  and  speedy,  and  noted  also 
for  their  excellent  conformation,  splendid  feetand  legs.  Nau- 
buc was  a  full  brother  to  Thomas  .Jefferson,  the  handsome 
stallion  that  captured  the  first  $10,000  slake  ever  offered  at 
Buffalo.  In  this  race  which  took  place  August  5,  1874,  he  de- 
feated such  good  ones  "as  Smuggler,  Mambrino  Gift,  Joe 
Brown  and  Pilot  Temple  winning  the  fourth,  fifth  and  six 
heats. 


The  bay  gelding  Fay,  2:25,  by  Electioneer,  will  be  driven 
on  the  snow,  should  any  more  put  in  an  appearance,  the 
balance  of  the  winter  by  Harry  Devereaux.  This  gelding  is 
fast.  The  first  time  that  he  showed  up  was  in  New  York  in 
1S88,  at  Fleetwood  one  Sunday  morning,  when  John  Murphy 
drove  him  a  half  to  pole  with  another  Electioneer  gelding 
that  Mr.  Humphrey  owned  in  1:011  and  repeated  the  perform- 
ance^ 1:08.  When  Humphrey  died  Fay  was  purchased  at  the 
Clearing-out  sale  by  J.  C.  Sihley  for  Prospect  Hill  Farm, 
Franklin,  Pa.  He  has  been  there  ever  sint:e.  Stinson  started 
him  in  five  races  in  1890  and  won  all  of  them.  That  fall  he 
stepped  a  quarter  in  313  seconds  over  the  Cleveland  track. 
He  showed  a  little  lameness  after  that  and  has  not  been  seen 
iti  public  since.  Fay  is  a  tirst -class  pole  horse,  as  Mr.  Sibley 
drove  him  several  miles  with  Manilla  in  1800  better  than 
2:2"».  Honked  with  a  inatethat  couli.l  step  as  last  as  F;iy  can, 
it  would  be  an  easy  matter  for  the  pair  to  put  up  a  mark 
better  than  2:20,  Those  that  pull  alongside  of  him  for  a  trip 
down  the  avenue  will  think  that  they  have  hit  a  trotter  should 
he  be  at  himself  when  the  bell  riugs  for  the  next  round  on 
the  snow. — Exchange. 


There  is  a  world  of  good  sense  in  the  following  :  Let  the 
stable  be  well  lighted.  Light  is  the  cheapest  of  commodities 
— cheaper  than  any  of  nature's  gifts,  except  the  air  we  breathe. 
Sunlight  affects  everything  in  a  remarkably  healthful  degree. 
That  side  of  fruit  which  receives  the  direct  rays  of  the  sun 
ripens  first  and  becomes  fuller  in  form.  It  is  not  unreasonable 
to  suppose  that  the  contour  of  animals  is  similarly  influencad. 
The  spirits  of  a  horse  are  affected  with  direct  reference  to 
light  and  darkness,  and  not  only  his  spirit,  but  every  part  of 
his  physical  system.  A  horse  began  to  stumble  that  never 
stumbled  before.  The  owner  could  not  account  for  it.  "Is 
your  new  stable  dark?"  was  the  query  put  to  him  by  a  horse- 
man. "  Yes,  very  dark."  "  Put  a  window  in  it  and  then 
watch  the  effect  upon  your  horse."  The  dark  stable  was  the 
secret  of  the  stumbling.  The  season  is  now  at  hand  when  a 
six  months'  period  of  close  housing  is  about  to  begin.  Let 
all  the  stalls  be  well  lighted,  lest  the  vitality  of  the  animals  be 
checked  and  a  morbid  condition  supervene. 

Stock  of  all  kinds  are  not  unlike  man  in  some  respects, 
and  seek  the  shade  whenever  possible  during  the  extreme 
heat  of  summer.  To  gratify  this  desire  shade  should  be  pro- 
vided wherever  practicable,  and  the  cheapest  manner  of  do- 
ing this  is  through  the  medium  of  shade  trees.  One  or  two 
should  be  set  out  in  each  pasture,  and  protected  by  a  fence  un- 
til thoroughly  established,  says  an  exchange.  If  the  field  be 
tilled  set  the  trees  along  the  south  line,  selecting  those  of 
rapid  growth  and  spreading  branches.  If  they  be  fruit  trees 
they  should  be  trimmed  to  a  height  of  a  least  seven  feet,  and 
then  allowed  to  branch  out.  While  the  trees  are  growing  it 
would  be  simply  humane  to  provide  a  temporary  shelter  of 
some  kind,  such  as  setting  a  few  posts  and  covering  with  poles, 
upon  which  are  thrown  branchej  of  evergreens,  or  even  limbs 
of  oak  or  other  trees  in  full  leaf.  This  will  afford  a  useful 
shelter,  and  if  located  upon  a  knoll  or  other  naturally  poor 
portion  of  the  field  it  will  thoroughly  enrich  the  soil.  By 
changing  its  position  yearly,  various  portions  of  the  field  will 
be  benefitted.  All  this  takes  but  a  little  time  and  can  be  done 
when  other  work  is  not  pressing.  By  boarding  up,  late  in  the 
summer,  the  side  from  which  the  prevailing  winds  blow,  a 
fair  protection  from  the  chilling  blasts  will  be  obtained,  and 
the  stock  will  return  you  the  cost. 

_  Things  have  resumed  an  air  of  quiet  at  Parkville  Farm 
since  the  sale.  Next  year  the  campaigning  stable  will  be  a 
formidable  one,  and  will  include  both  Regal  Wilkes  (2:11£) 
snd  Jay  Wilkes,  the  fast  son  of  Guy  Wilkes  and  Sweetness. 
Only  two  horses  are  advertised  to  stand  for  public  service  this 
coming  season.  These  are  Stranger  and  Thistle  (2:13}).  It 
was  the  first  time  I  had  seen  Stranger  in  many  years,  but 
time  has  not  changed  the  sturdy  conformation,  the  satin  coat 
or  the  full,  intelligent  eye,  but  it  has  brought  fame,  a  fame 
born  of  great  deeds  performed  by  his  offspring,  and  that  has 
made  the  former  pride  of  Fashion  Farm  one  of  the  most 
noted  sires  for  his  years  this  county  has  ever  known.  Maoy 
of  our  greatest  sires  reached  an  advanced  age  before  any  2:30 
performer  appeared  to  their  credit.  Stranger,  however,  at 
thirteen  years  old  has  sixteen  racehorses  in  his  2:30  list.  If 
there  is  any  law  of  heredity,  could  his  get  be  otherwise  than 
racehorses?  He  was  sired  by  a  son  of  Lady  Thorn  (2:18£),  as 
great  a  race  mare  as  ever  wore  a  bridle,  and  his  dam  was  the 
equally-famous  Goldsmith  Maid  (2:14).  Like  does  produce 
like,  and  Stranger  gets  racehorses.  If  he  has  accomplished 
so  much  under  only  fair  advantages,  what  may  we  not  expect 
from  his  advantages  at  Parkville  Farm,  where  he  will  have  as 
grandly-bred  mares  as  can  be  found  on  any  farm  in  this  wide 
Republic.  There  about  forty  mares  now  at  Parkville,  and  of 
these  twenty  have  records  of  2:30  or  better,  eleven  being  in 
the  2:30  list.  Eight  others  have  produced  speed,  and  all  have 
producing  dams. 

Some  interesting  experiments  in  saddle  horse  and  pony 
breeding  will  be  undertaken  by  the  use  of  the  Arabian  stal- 
lions brought  to  this  country  by  the  Bedouin  encampment 
which  was  one  of  the  Midway  Plaisance  attractions.  It  is 
alleged  that  a  great  lot  of  money  was  expended  by  Turkish 
capitalists  in  gathering  this  company  of  "  rough  riders  "  from 
the  Bedouin  tribes,  and  that  for  the  first  time  in  the  history 
of  the  Turkish  Government  the  Sultan  permitted  the  export 
of  Arabian  mares,  holding  the  managers  of  the  enterprise 
under  heavy  bonds  for  their  return.  We  do  not  vouch  for 
this  statement.  Preliminary  performances  at  Constantinople 
are  said  to  have  been  witnessed  by  great  and  enthusiastic 
crowds,  but  the  drawing  power  of  the  show  in  Chicago  was  so 
small  that  it  passed  into  the  hands  of  a  receiver,  who  disposed 
of  the  twenty-eight  stallions  and  mares  last  week  at  Tatter- 
sail's,  Chicago,  at  prices  much  lower  than  expected. 
The  interesting  feature  of  the  event  U  the  fact  that  several  of 
the  stallions  go  to  a  Colorado  ranch  where  they  will  be  used 
on  native  mares  in  an  attempt  to  breed  a  high  class  of  saddle 
horses,  and  Mr.  Bradley,  of  Bradley  fertilizer  fame,  sends 
several  stallions  to  his  farm  near  Boston,  where  he  will  essay 
the  production  of  polo  ponies  from  Southern-bred  mares. 
The  result  of  the  introduction  of  this  much-vaunted  Arabian 
blood  will  be  watched  with  great  interest. 


There  are  faw  horses  that  drive  well  with  open  bridles  i 
writes  Colonel  Wm.  Edwards,  in  the  Newark  Sunday  Gail- 
Unless  a  horse  is  spirited  to  a  degree,  one  of  the  "  go-till-be- 
drops  "  kind,  driving  without  blinds  will  render  him  compar* 
atively  worthless  in  two  months.  These  observations  are 
based  upon  actual  experience.  The  writer  knows  personally 
of  two  horses  that  were  changed  from  free,  prompt  drivers  to 
slack  and  lazy  plodders  by  use  of  the  open  bridle.  In  a  few 
years  they  become  fit  for  nothing  but  Aunt  Betsy's  use  in  vis- 
iting from  farm-house  to  farm-house.  One  had  to  be  very 
careful  in  driving  them.  They  would  take  a  slow  jog  or  a 
goose  walk  with  one  eye  and  ear  cocked  back  to  see  and  hear 
what  was  going  on  in  the  carriage.  A  movement  of  the  hand 
toward  the  whip  was  followed  by  a  jump  by  the  horse  that 
would  lift  the  carriage  off'  the  ground  almost,  causing  a  dis- 
placement of  the  diaphragm  of  the  occupant  and  endangering 
the  traces  and  whilHetrees.  It  is  argued  sometimes  that 
horses  should  be  allowed  to  see  everything  that  is  going  on. 
That  is  just  the  trouble.  The  vision  of  a  horse  should  be  con- 
fined to  its  legitimate  field,  that  is,  the  road  straight  ahead 
which  he  is  to  travel.  A  horse  should  not  see  too  much. 
Without  blinds  he  will  carry  his  head  a  little  to  one  side  to 
see  what  is  coming  behind  him,  and  in  that  way  learns  to 
pull  on  one  rein,  There  is  grave  danger  of  a  runaway  at 
times  when  a  horse  Bees  what  is  coming  from  behind.  With 
blinds  his  attention  will  not  be  distracted  by  unusual  sights 
and  sounds  outside  of  his  line  of  vision.  Nothing  will  com- 
pensate for  the  injury  done  to  the  driving  qualities  of  a  horse 
by  the  omission  of  blinds.  When  once  he  becomes  a  slack 
driver  there  is  no  use  to  attempt  improvement.

THE  SADDLE. 


Jovita,  sister  to  Castro,  won  a  five-furlong  dash  last  Satur- 
day at  New  Orleans  in  1:01. 

Glee  Boy  bled  freely  at  the  nose  after  his  run  against 
Stiomboli  etal.  last  Saturday. 

Charles  Boots  will  race  fourteen  Brutus  two-year  olds 
at  the  Blood  Horse  Spring  meeting. 

Bookmakers  Eckert  and  Schreiber  are  credited  with 
winning  a  goodly  amount  on  imp.  True  Briton's  running  third 
last  Saturday.  

A.  B.  Spreckels'  good  looking  Loyalist  filly,  for  which 
he  paid  $1,500  not  loDg  ago,  is  now  in  Superintendent  Cy. 
Mulkey's  charge  at  Palo  Alto. 

Osbic,  by  imp.  Cheviot — AbbieW.,  won  a  sis-furlong  hand- 
icap on  the  9th  inst.  at  East  St.  Louis,  in  1:18,  the  fastest 
time  ever  made  over  that  course. 


The  Cobham  Park  Stud  B'arm  has  been  sold  to  Mrs. 
Langtry  for  $80,000.  This  is  one  of  the  best-known  breeding 
farms  in  England,  and  was  sold  cheap. 

C.  Bruce  Lowe,  the  Australian  authority  who  brought 
StromboK  and  Clieveden  to  this  country,  has  beeh  a  very  sick 
man  at  the  California  Hotel  during  the  past  few  days. 

Itkins,  a  four-year-old  gelding,  collided  with  Jim  Lee  in 
a  race  at  Madison,  111.,  recently,  being  thrown  against  the 
fence  and  breaking  his  neck.     Jockey  Soden  escaped  unhurt. 

Tom  Magee,  the  jockey  who  has  been  riding  successfully 
at  New  Orleans,  was  married  January  5th  to  Miss  Hattie 
Pullman,   of    Milwaukee.     J.  J.  McCafferty  was  best  man. 

Richard  Havey,  the  well-known  trainer,  says  he  is  not 
going  to  train  the  Winters  string  of  racehorses  this  season, 
as  has  been  stated  by  a  number  of  turf  writers.  Havey  has 
a  string  of  his  own,  and  may  take  several  outside  horses  to 
train.  , 

The  Kentucky  General  Assembly  appears  to  be  determined 
to  whip  out  pool-rooms  and  pool-selling  upon  race  tracks  in 
the  State.  A  bill  will  be  introduced  in  a  few  days  making 
such  an  offense  a  felony.  The  chances  are  i  will  become 
a  law. 

Joe  Harvey  is  thinking  seriously  of  embarking  in  the 
business  of  breeding  thoroughbreds.  Recently  he  purchased 
a  number  of  broodmares,  and  is  negotiating  for  the  purchase 
of  the  Norfolk  stallion,  Conner,  sire  of  Jim  R.,  Al  Farrow 
and  other  good  ones.  _ 

A  New  Orleans  dispatch  ot  January  10th  to  Daily  Amer- 
ica read:  "The  betting  was  spirited  throughout  the  after- 
noon. Riley,  Grannan  and  several  other  heavy  bettors  fairly 
flooded  the  ling  with  money  on  all  six  races,  and,  as  they 
managed  to  place  their  bets  right,  the  bookmakers  were  hard- 
hit."  

"  Yo  El  Rey,  the  $27,500  three-year-old  brother  to  Yo  Tam- 
bien,  is  entered  in  a  number  of  the  California  Jockey  Club 
stake  events.  We  will  therefore  soon  have  a  chance  to  see  if 
he  is  as  great  a  horse  as  he  has  been  represented.  A  number 
last  year  pronounced  him  the  greatest  of  the  famous  Marion 
family.  

Gregory  &  Montgomery  last  Friday  evening  sold  to 
James  Shields,  of  Denver,  Colo.,  the  well-known  jumper,  Cito, 
a'chestnut  gelding,  aged,  by  Joe  Hooker,  dam  Too  Soon,  by 
Norfolk.  The  terms  were  private.  Cito  is  a  good  steeple- 
chaser, and  will  get  a  portion  of  the  purse  in  almost  any 
company  at  anything  like  even  weights. 

Snapper  Garrison  says  he  has  fallen  off  from  140  to  128 
pounds.  He  is  not  sure  what  he  will  do  next  year,  because 
it  will  be  hard  for  him  to  get  down  to  weight  under  the  pres- 
ent scale.  He  has,  however,  been  engaged  by  the  Bennings 
managers  to  start  at  their  spring  meeting,  and  if  the  scale  of 
weights  should  be  raistd  this  spring  he  will  again  be  seen  in 
the  saddle. 

J.  S.  Robinson,  Capt.  Hugh  McCalmont's  brother-in-law, 
and  who  brought  Islington  to  California,  called  on  us  yester- 
day. It  is  the  intention  of  Mr.  Robinson  to  bring  the  horse 
to  this  section  of  the  country,  and  it  is  likely  the  brother  to 
Isinglass  will  make  the  season  of  1«94  at  Oakland  racetrack. 
Mr.  Robinson  declares  Islington  is  a  better  horse  than  his 
more  famous  brother.       , 

Capt.  Phil  C.  Kidd,  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  bought  of  Wick- 
liff  Preston,  Fayette  county,  the  eleven-year-old  bay  stallion 
Berean,  by  Ten  Broeck,  dam  Sallie  M.,  by  Longfellow. 
Wicklifl  Preston,  who  for  several  years  has  reared  and 
raced  thoroughbred  horses,  has  filed  a  deed  of  assignment. 
He  recently  sold  at  auction  $12,000  worth  of  stock,  among 
which  were  such  horges  as  Princess  Blondine,  Katrina,  Ma 
Belle,  Anthem,  Nannie  Black  and  Matron. 

Wickliff  Preston,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  made  an  as- 
signment of  all  his  thoroughbred  stock  there  to  Colonel  John 
R.  Allen.  Mr.  Preston  recently  disposed  of  a  number  of  his 
horses  in  training,  but  only  realizing  about  $12,000  on  them, 
was  unable  to  satisfy  his  creditors.  Assets  $75,000,  liabilities 
not  known.  Mr.  Prestou  has  sold  to  Captain  Phil.  C.  Kidd, 
Lexington,  the  eleven-year-old  stallion  Bersan,  by  Ten 
Broeck,  dam  Sadie  M.,  by  Longfellow,  for  $1,000. 

The  mighty  Morello  was  fired  last  Tuesday  in  "the  good 
foreleg"  by  Dr.  Masoero,  the  well-known  veterinarian,  who 
is  one  of  the  greatest  hands  at  treating  cripples  in  this  part 
of  the  world.  Frank  Van  Ness  told  us  last  Monday  that  he 
was  always  more  afraid  of  "a  good  leg"  giving  away  than 
the  "dickey"  one.  That  is,  where  a  "dickey"  foreleg  is 
fired,the  other  one  must  be  treated  in  like  manner,  or  a  horse,

The  latest  news  about  the  Kendall  stable  is  that  Chris 
Smith  and  Frank  Shaw  have  gone  into  partnership,  and  will 
race  Yo  Tambien,  Maid  Marian  and  the  rest  of  the  string 
under  the  red  jacket  and  white  sleeves.  Shaw  was  not  alto- 
gether successful  in  his  gaming  ventures  in  1893,  but  he  is  a 
clever  manager,  and  the  new  confederaiion  will  undoubtedly 
have  a  prosperous  year. 

"Buck"  Taylor,  the  champion  rough  rider  of  the 
country,  is  a  wit  as  well  as  a  great  student  of  form.  The  car 
was  crowded  the  other  day  coming  in  from  the  races,  and 
there  was  no  seat  for  Buck.  The  conductor  tapped  him  on 
the  shoulder  and  said,  "Fare,  please!"  "What!"  said 
Buck,  "you  don't  mean  to  say  you've  got  cheek  enough  to 
want  to  tax  a  man  for  standing  up? 

A  special  to  the  St.  Louis  Globe-Democrat  from  City  of 
Mexico  says:  The  thoroughbred  stock  at  the  Pennon  track 
is  being  sold  off"  very  rapidly  to  enable  the  Northern  horse- 
men to  get  out  of  the  country.  Over  sixty  horses  have  been 
sold  up  to  date,  the  prices  realized  being  only  fair.  Pur- 
chases are  mostly  made  by  local  Mexicans.  A  number  of  the 
purchasers  are  willing  that  their  horses  should  remain  work- 
ing on  the  race  track,  thus  enabling  the  resident  management 
to  arrange  for  races  on  Sundays. 

"Virginia"  Bradley  announces  the  fact  that  he  has 
engaged  H.  Jones  as  his  principal  jockey,  and  that  the  black 
jacket  and  orange  cap  will  be  carried  in  1S94  by  a  better  lot 
of  thoroughbreds  than  ever  before.  Blitzen,  the  lion-hearted 
"iron  horse,"  will  be  the  king-pin  of  tke  string,  and  will 
doubtless  pick  his  lumps  of  weight  through  mud  and  slush 
as  gallantly  as  ever.  Bradley's  stable  will  contain  twenty-two 
members,  the  most  notable  of  the  new  ones  being  a  three- 
year-old  gelding  by  Sir  Joseph  ;  Sadie  E.,  a  two-year-old  filly 
by  Winfred,  out  of  the  same  mare,  and  two  young  geldings 
byPanique. 

The  cable  announces  that  the  Duchess  of  Montrose  has  de- 
termined to  break  up  her  celebrated  stud,  and  that  it  will  be 
sold  the  first  week  of  May  next.  No  such  dispersal  sale  has 
taken  place  since  the  matchless  stud  of  Lord  Falmouth  was 
brought  to  the  hammer  after  that  nobleman's  death,  and  the 
opportunity  to  secure  broodmares  of  the  first  quality  afforded 
at  this  coming  sale  will  not  occur  again  during  the  lifetime  of 
the  present  generation.  Among  the  matrons  to  be  sold  are 
Thebais,  Marguerite,  Pilgrimage,  Jeannette  and  Marie  Stew- 
art. No  such  quintette  of  mares  can  be  found  in  any  other 
stud  in  the  world. 


The  work  of  the  Hudson  Couuty  (N.  J.)  Grand  Jury  in 
connection  with  the  recent  investigation  of  the  Guttenberg 
race  track  was  more  sweeping  than  expected.  Besides  indict- 
ing Superintendent  of  Police  Smith,  Police  Captain  Kelly 
Policemen  Clark,  Shunt  and  Barry,  true  bills  were  returned 
against  John  F.  Madden,  Starter  James  F.  Caldwell,  Judge 
Joseph  Burke,  Secretary  S.  M.  Whitehead,  Justices  of  the 
Peace  J.  J.  McCaver  and  George  Youmans,  D.  John  Closek, 
Police  Sargent  Cannon,  Policeman  Walter  Dale,  Peter  Low- 
ry  and  Thomas  F.  Eagan,  superintendent  of  the  betting  ring. 

A  book  has  already  been  made  on  the  American  Derby 
for  1894.  There  are  272  youngsters  eligible  to  start,  butfully 
one-half  of  this  number  will  be  declared  out  on  the  first  day 
of  next  month.  Domino  and  Senator  Grady  are  quoted  at  8 
to  1  each.  Hornpipe  and  Dobbins  are  held  at  10  to  1,  while 
the  three  California  colts,  Lucky  Dog,  Rey  el  Santa  Anita 
and  Yo  el  Rey,  are  at  20  to  1.  The  longest  odds  against  any 
colt  is  400  to  1.  The  following  prices  can  be  obtained  against 
some  of  the  California  entries :  Alexis  50  to  1,  Agitato  100  to 
1,  Bancroft  200  to  1,  Peter  the  Great  30  to  1,  Romulus  40  to 
1,  Flirtation  50  to  1,  Lovdal50  to  1,  Uno  Colorado  100  to  1, 
The  Mallard  100  to  1,  Tuscorora  50  to  1,  San  Luis  Rey  50  to 
1,  Silver  State  200  to  1.  Only  20  to  1  is  offered  against  Bar- 
ney Schreiber's  Broadhead.     Annie  Mayes  is  at  200  to  1. 

Winter  racing  in  the  District  of  Columbia  received  a 
hard  blow  last  Tuesday  by  the  decision  of  Justice  Cole  in  the 
Criminal  Court  sustaining  the  indictments  against  the  book- 
makers arrested  at  the  Ivy  City  track.  Justice  Cole  said  that 
the  question  of  violating  the  Btatute  depended  on  the  nature 
of  the  contrivance  and  not  its  name,  and  the  law  applied 
mainly  to  keep  places  for  gambling.  He  held  that  the  latter 
act  had  no  repealing  effect.  The  racing  men  requested  an 
early  trial,  and  probably  will  be  arraigned  next  week.  They 
have  given  up  all  idea  of  resuming  the  meeting.  George  H. 
Engeman,  President  of  the  Ivy  City  Club,  will  also  be  tried. 
The  officials  of  the  Bennings  Club,  which  gives  a  meeting  in 
the  spring  and  autumn,  fear  that  the  decision  is  so  bad  that  it 
will  prevent  the  conducting  of  races  in  the  district  here- 
after.   

A  peculiar  effect  on  the  decision  of  some  of  the  principal 
Australian  racing  events  of  the  past  year  may  be  had  by  a  de- 
cision in  a  contested  will  case  now  pending  before  the  courts 
of  that  country.  General  Kodalish  recently  died  and  be- 
queathed his  racers,  some  fifty-two  in  number,  tohis  nephews. 
The  value  of  the  horses  is  given  at  $150,000.  Now  comes  his 
widow  and  disputes  the  will,  claimiog  that  the  animals  were 
actually  hers,  as  the  General  bought  tbem  with  her  money. 
The  Austrian  Jockey  Club  rules  prohibit  anybody  racing 
horses  not  his  property  unless  notice  is  given  of  the  fact,  and 
therefore  if  the  courts  should  hold  that  the  widow,  while  the 
wife,  really  owned  the  racehorses,  the  purses  and  stakes  won 
by  them,  amounting  in  all  to  about  $75,000,  will  have  to  be 
paid  back  to  the  Jockey  Club  and  redistributed  to  the  owners 
of  the  horses  that  finished  second  in  the  races  won  by  the 
representatives  of  the  Kodalish  stable. 

Cable  advices  from  England  are  to  the  effect  that  Lord 
Roseberry's  great  three-year-old  colt  Ladas,  by  Hampton,  out 
of  Illuminala,  continues  favorite  for  the  Derby,  although,  on 
account  of  support  accorded  to  other  candidates  his  price 
has  lengthened  somewhat,  and  now  as  much  as  3  J  to  1  is 
offered  against  him.  His  stable  compaoion,  Ralveston,  has 
been  backed  to  some  extent  at  an  outside  price.  Ralveston  is 
a  chestnut  colt  by  the  American  horse  Foxhall — Chopette. 
The  Kingsclere  Stable's  Match  Box  and  Bullingdon  seem  to 
be  the  most  formidable  rivals  of  Lord  Roseberry's  candidates. 
The  English  critics,  while  giving  the  preference  to  Ladas,  ap- 
pear to  think  that  there  is  not  a  great  deal  of  choosing  be- 
tween him  and  Match  Box.  The  latter's  reputation  rests 
mainly  on  his  last  performance,  when  in  theDewhurst  Plate 
he  beat  Jocasta  perhaps  even  more  easily  thao  Ladas  beat 
her  in  the  Middleton  Park  Plate.  The  colts  both  conceded 
Loeasla  ten  pounds,  Ladas  winning  by  two  lengths  and  Match 
Box  by  twice  that  distance.  Next  to  those  named  Son  o' 
Mine,  Galloping  Dick  and  Arcano  are  the  most  talked-of 
Derby  horses. 


The  English  Racing  Calendar  of  1893  contains  the  record 
of  1,713  races  run  in  Great  Brilain  and  Irelaud.  Of  these 
781  were  at  five  furlongs  and  under  six,  204  at  six  furlongs 
and  under  one  mile,  193  over  a  mile  and  under  two,  37  two 
miles  and  under  three,  7  three  miles  and  under  four,  2  at 
four  miles.  The  total  number  of  races  run  shows  an  increase 
of  twenty-five  over  1893.  The  total  value  of  stakes  was:  In 
EDgland,  £428,391 ;  in  Scotland,  £11,107,  and  in  Ireland, 
£18,441,  including  matches  and  private  sweepstakas,  which 
amounted  to  £2,320.  These  sums  do  not  include  the  money 
won  by  second  and  third  horses.  The  "  List  of  Foals  "  usually 
found  at  the  end  of  the  Calendar  is  omitted  for  the  first  time 
in  fifty  years. — Daily  America. 

Speaking  of  the  trials  of  youngsters  at  the  far  East,  the 
Sporting  World  says:  "  Of  course  the  Darebin— Guenn  filly, 
now  called  Emma,  credited  with  the  fastest  move  ot  anything 
in  this  vicinity — 353  seconds  for  three  furloogs — is  considered 
the  crackajack  of  her  age.  But  all  fast  two-year-olds  Jo  not 
run  up  to  their  trials,  and  vice  versa.  The  Walcott  colt  by 
Tremont — Salina  (dam  of  Salvator)  has  shown  belter  than 
any  of  his  age  at  Morris  Park — 38  seconds  for  three  furlong?, 
up  the  hill.  The  Dwyer  Tyrant— Embroidery  filly  is  also 
very  fast.  Green  Morris  also  has  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Sal- 
vator— Miss  Woodford,  that  last  fall  showed  work  as  a  year- 
ling that  stamped  her  as  worthy  her  illustrious  lineage. 
Messrs.  Gideon  &  Daly  have  a  couple  of  youngsters  that  are 
speedy  in  the  Sir  Dixon — Mercedes  and  the  Powhattau — 
Flora  McDonald  fillies.  At  Brookdale,  Colonel  Thompson 
also  has  a  brother  to  Stonenell  that  has  shown  all  bis  fellows 
his  heels.     And  so  the  list  might  be  indefinitely  extended." 

W.  Maxwell  and  Harry  Stover  arrived  here  about  ten 
days  ago  from  the  City  of  Mexico  with  a  big  string  of  horses. 
Stover's  entries  were  not  acceptable  to  the  association,  and  he 
was  not  allowed  stalls  for  his  horses  at  the  local  course.  Max- 
well claimed  to  own  some  of  the  horses.  The  Board  of  Stew- 
ards telegraphed  East  inquiring  about  the  matter  of  owner- 
ship and  everything  went  to  show  that  Stover  was  the  owner 
of  all  the  horses  and  the  attempt  to  race  them  in  MaswelPs 
name  only  "  a  hlind."  The  Board  met  last  Saturday  night, 
and  upon  this  evidence  ruled  Stover  and  Maxwell  off  the 
track.  A  jockey  named  McKinney,  who  rode  one  of  Stover's 
horses,  Prince  Idle,  was  ruled  off  for  pulling  bis  mount.  The 
horses  brought  here  by  Stover  were  Prince  Idle,  Borderer, 
Long  Ten,  Nell  Flaherty,  Bell  Ark,  Arkansas  Traveler, 
Snooks  and  a  few  others,  and  by  the  action  of  the  board  all 
are  ruled  oft.  Prince  Idle  and  Borderer  were  entered  on  the 
same  day,  but  were  suspended  pending  an  investigation  by  the 
board.  Borderer  is  by  imp.  Cheviot,  dam  Sister  to  Ruth 
Ryan,  by  Lodi. 

The  journey  that  many  horsemen  took  to  New  Orleans  was 
a  disastrous  one.  Pneumonia  set  in  in  half  a  dozen  instances, 
and  there  are  gaps  in  several  stables.  Frank  Ireland  lost  Al- 
debaran,  a  colt  of  undeniably  high  class;  Tom  Stevens  lost 
one  of  his  string  ;  a  season  of  ill-luck  for  the  Schceofeld  stable 
culminated  in  the  death  of  imp.  Connie  C,  Bona  Schoenfeld 
aud  Count  Scandal ;  a  filly  by  Onondaga,  dam  Tenwick,  for 
which  Peter  Wimmer  and  Cliff  Porter  paid  $1,900  jointly, 
succumbed  at  Mobile,  and  big,  clever  John  Kessler  is  receiv- 
ing the  condolence  of  his  friends  on  account  of  the  death  of 
his  namesake,  Kessler,  by  Witbrow,  drm  Lizzie  Hayden.  The 
Kessler  stable  also  came  near  losing  the  two-year-old  full 
brother  to  Marion  C,  but  at  last  accounts  he  was  recovering. 
Iu  speaking  of  this  series  of  calamities  a  veteran  turfman 
yesterday  gave  his  theory  :  "Ship  horses  from  a  warm  to  a 
colder  climate,  and  you  are  all  right,"  he  said.  "  Reverse  it 
and  look  out  for  sick  or  dead  horses.  Augustus  Sharpe 
shipped  twenty-two  trotters  all  the  way  to  Germany,  and  they 
landed  there  all  in  good  shape.  You'll  never  find  it  so,  though, 
when  you  send  horses  into  warmer  latitudes.  I  don't  know 
whether  they  are  sickened  by  the  change  or  simply  more 
liable  to  contract  diseases,  but  the  result  is  the  same  every 
time." 

Mr.  William  Thompson,  who  introduced  modern  racing 
to  Philadelphians  and  made  a  financial  success  of  the  Glou- 
cester track,  is  about  to  invade  New  York  and  show  Goth- 
amites  what  be  can  do  in  the  way  of  running  a  race  track.  He 
is  not  certain  as  to  just  what  the  future  holds  for  Gloucester, 
and,  at  any  rate,  his  ambition  is,  and  has  been,  to  own  a 
Metropolitan  course.  With  that  end  in  view  be  has  been  on 
the  lookout  for  a  suitable  site,  and  at  last  has  secured  one.  It 
is  the  old  Queens  County  Driving  Park,  in  the  town  of  Mas- 
peth,  near  the  Brooklyn  city  line,  and  is  admirably  situated 
for  racing  purposes.  Mr.  Thompson  has  secured  a  lease  of 
it  for  fifteen  years,  and  in  the  very  near  future  a  large  force 
of  workmen  will  be  tet  to  work.  At  present  it  is  a  half-mile 
track,  but  a  full  mile  one  will  be  constructed,  and  modern 
betting  ring,  grand  stand  and  other  buildings  will  take  the 
place  of  the  present  dilapidated  structures.  It  is  expected 
that  everything  will  be  completed  by  the  late  spring  aud  dur- 
ing the  summer  a  thirty-day  meeting  will  be  held.  Six  races 
a  dav  will  be  decided  and  the  purees  will  range  in  value  from 
$500'  to  $1,000.  An  innovation  that  Mr.  Thompson  will  in- 
troduce and  one  that  will  go  a  long  way  towards  making  the 
proposed  meeting  a  success  are  fair  prices.  Everything  will 
be  kept  down  to  the  lowest  possible  price  consistent  with  first- 
class  sport.  

One  of  the  grea'est  bargains  ever  heard  of  in  thoroueh- 
bred  horsellesh  can  be  secured  upon  application  at  this  office 
onaccountof  the  necessity  for  the  owner  to  secure  cash  at 
once.  A  broodmare  that  has  thrown  a  good  winner  is  offered 
at  a  ridiculously  small  figure,  together  with  a  fine  colt  foal 
eight  months  old  by  imp.  Mariner  (sire  of  Martinet,  Top- 
gallant, etc.),  and  besides  this  the  mare  is  heavy  in  foal  to 
imp.  Chesterfield,  a  grandson  of  the  immortal  Stockwell  and 
a  racehorse  of  high  class.  The  mare,  comparatively  young, 
is  by  Joe  Shelby  son  of  Norfall,  by  Norfolk,  dam  Queen 
Emma  (dam  of  Cheerful,  King  Daniels  and  Sampson  and  a 
sister  to  Cousin  Peggy,  dam  of  Geraldinel,  by  Wood  burn,  son 
of  Lexington;  second  dam  Peggy  Ringgold  (dam  of  Iron- 
clad, Lady  Washington,  Fanny  D.,  Cousin  Peggy  and  Queen 
Emma),  by  Ringgold,  son  of  Boston;  third  dam  Little  Peggy, 
by  Cripple  (son  of  the  mighty  Medoc),  and  on  to  the  fifteenth 
dam,  through  the  best  thoroughbred  families  of  America  and 
England.  Little  Peggy  (third  dam  of  the  broodmare  offered 
for  sale)  wasgranddam  of  Virgil  (sire  of  Hindoo,  Vagrant, 
Vici,  Virginius,  Vigil  and  other  celebrities  of  the  turf).  The 
Peggy  Ringgold  family  is  noted  as  one  of  the  beat  ever  known 
in  California  in  the  line  of  racing  and  producing,  and  the 
chance  here  offered  is  an  unprecedented  one  to  a  person  de- 
siring to  get  a  good  thoroughbred  mare, a  good  colt  by  a  tritd 
sire  and  another  youngster  by  a  sire  of  winners  of  reuown, 
all  for  asmallsura,  on  account  of  need  for  ready  money.

The  Breeding  Season  Approaches. 


Only  a  few  of  the  many  well-bred  stallions  in  Califor- 
nia are  advertised  in  this  journal  to  stand  for  the  season 
of  1894,  and  every  one  of  the  fortunate  owners  is  busy 
"  booking "  mares.  Owners  of  stallions  which  are 
equally  as  well-bred,  but  who  are  behind  the  times  in  ad- 
vertising, are  wondering  why  it  is  that  they  are  not  hear- 
ing from  owners  of  broodmares. 

It  does  not  pay  owners  of  stallions  to  keep  the  merits 
of  their  great  horses  hid  from  view.  Every  man  who 
bred  a  mare  to  a  horse  is  pleased  to  see  that 
the  owner  has  enterprise  enough  to  keep  that  horse's 
name  and  merits  before  the  public,  and  is  anxious  to  se- 
cure the  best  mares  for  him. 

Although  the  market  for  horses  at  which  exorbitant 
prices  have  been  paid  is  closed,  there  is,  and  always  will 
be,  a  demand  for  first-class  horses  at  prices  which  will  be 
moie  remunerative  than  for  any  other  class  of  stock  of 
the  same  age.  There  has  been  an  awakening  of  horse- 
men all  along  the  line  during  the  past  year,  and  its  ef- 
fects will  be  beneficial  to  the  industry  in  the  future. 
Heretofore  people  engaged  in  the  business  have  been 
blinded  by  the  high  price*  realized  for  phenomenal  trot- 
ters and  pacers,  and  everyone  considered  that  in  his  lit- 
tle band  of  broodmares,  if  he  bred  them  to  a  stallion  whose 
pedigree  read  well,  he  would  be  able  to  meet  a  Forbes  or 
a  lSonner,  and  t  at  least  as  much  as  these  gentlemen 
paid  for  Arion  o:  Sunol.     That  day  has  passed,  and  when 


we  come  to  take  a  calm,  deliberative  view  of  the  situa- 
tion, keeping  the  improvement  of  the  trotting  horse  of 
America  in  sight,  we  do  not  know  but  that  it  is  for  the 
best  that  the  change  has  been  wrought. 

All  who  are  engaged  in  the  business,  be  they  large  or 
small  breeders,  are  deeper  thinkers  and  closer  students  of 
individuality,  gait  and  blood  lines  than  ever,  and  if  they 
are  to  judge  of  the  future  by  the  lessons  of  the  past  there 
is  a  better  field  for  them  to  achieve  success  now  than 
ever.  The  high  prices  to  be  obtained  for  extremely  wsll- 
bred  animals,  but  of  inferior  conformation  and  faulty 
gait  may  be,  and  they  have  decreased,  but  the  earning 
capacity  of  trotters  and  pacers  have  increased  far  beyond 
the  expectations  of  the  most  sanguine  of  horsemen. 

The  man  who  studies  the  conformation,  disposition, 
gait  and  characteristics  of  his  broodmares  and  knows 
what  blood  lines  blend  best  with  those  of  other  strains, 
will  be  anxious  this  year  to  mate  those  mares  to  the 
stallions  most  suitable,  even  if  he  has  to  neglect  his  own 
horses  to  get  these    strains. 

This  will  be  as  great  a  year  for  the  small  breeders  as 
that  of  1893,  and  owners  of  well-bred  stallions  should 
not  hesitate  to  advertise  xow  if  they  wish  to  secure  the 
best  class  of  mares  that  are  now  owned  by  the  army  of 
small  breeders.  The  demand  of  the  hour  is  for  the  best, 
and  only  the  best  mares  will  be  bred  ;  therefore,  stallion- 
owners  will  have  the  benefit  of  seeing  a  better  progeny 
from  their  stallions  next  year  than  they  ever  did.  More 
better-formed,  better-bred  and  better-gaited  youngsters 
will  be  seen  gamboling  by  the  sides  of  their  dams  than 
than  they  have  ever  imagined  they  would  see. 

The  question  of  breeding  to  developed  and  undevel- 
oped sires  is  still  unsettled,  but,  nevertheless,  no  man  of 
common  sense  will  care  to  breed  to  a  horse  that  has  never 
shown  even  a  fast  quarter.  Hambletonian,  Electioneer, 
Red  Wilkes,  Dexter  JPrince  and  the  large  number  of 
other  great  sires,  although  never  having  entered  the 
"  charmed  circle,"  have  shown  that  they  could  trot  ex- 
ceedingly fast,  and  all  who  bred  their  mares  to  these 
horses  have  never  regretted  it. 

There  will  be  no  stallions  advertised  that  can  be  termed 
"weeds,"  and  the  man  who  sends  his  best  mares  to  a 
"weed  "  because  he  belongs  to  a  friend  does  not  deserve 
to  have  a  three  minute  trotter.  This  class  of  trotter  is  un- 
fit for  anything,  and  the  quicker  owners  learn  this  the 
better  it  will  be  for  the  trotting  horse  industry. 


A  Few  Points  "Worth  Thinking  About. 


There  have  been  many  changes  for  the  better  in  the 
management  of  racing  recently  in  San  Francisco,  the 
metropolis  of  the  far  West,  and  our  people  have  shown 
and  expressed  their  appreciation  on  many  occasions. 
The  Breeder  and  Sportsman-  has  offered  many  sug- 
gestions that  have  been  acted  upon,  we  are  happy  to 
say,  and  now  offer  a  few  more,  prompted  solely  by  a  de- 
sire to  make  racing  the  most  popular  of  sports  as  well  as 
the  best-managed. 

A  few  seasons  ago  the  Blood  Horse  Association  had  an 
official  photographer,  and  his  services  were  most  valuable 
on  several  occasions,  notably  in  the  eyebrow  finish  be- 
tween Yo  Tambien  and  Herald.  There  will  ever  be  dis- 
satisfaction expressed  at  the  decision  of  judges  in  close 
races  unless  photographs  are  made  that  show  exactly 
how  the  horses  finish.  It  would  not  be  a  bad  idea  to 
have  all  the  nose-and-nose  finishes  photographed,  one 
copy  being  furnished  the  judges,  another  the  public,  if 
not  two,  the  latter  being  placed  in  frames  and  posted 
in  some  conspicuous  spot,  where  all  would  have  a  chance 
to  look  at  it.  This  would  prove  an  interesting  feature, 
and  would  silence  the  tongues  of  the  babblers  that  are 
ever  ready  to  shout  "Robber!"  and  shake  their  fists  at 
the  judges. 

We  should  like  to  see  a  number  of  questions  settled 
by  a  vote  of  the  members  of  the  Blood  Horse  Associa- 
tion, chief  among  which  is  whether  we  should  be  given 
"  standing  "  or  "flying  "  starts.  Rowe  and  Brown  have 
given  us  the  "  standing  "  starts ;  others  the  "  flying." 
Has  any  thinking  man  a  doubt  as  to  what  the  verdict  of 
the  members  would  be?  Certainly  not.  Mr.  Ferguson, 
about  a  year  ago,  asked  the  writer  what  style  of  starting 
be  preferred,  declaring  that  he  was  endeavoring  to  get 
the  opinion  of  the  various  local  turf  writers  on  the  sub- 
ject. I  immediately  replied  that  if  he  wanted  to  "  make 
a  hit"  he  would  give  us  the  standing  start,  as  Rowe  had 

done.     Mr.    F said   he  could   give  either   kind   of 

send-off,  and  only  desired  to  please.  However,  for  some 
reason  the  "standing"  start  was  not  given,  notwith- 
standing that  system  is  far  more  satisfactory  to  our  race- 
goers, as  proved  by  the  praise  bestowed  upou  Messrs. 
Rowe  and  Brown.  Afterwards  the  writer  heard  an  argu- 
ment between  a  well-known  flag-wielder  and  a  prominent 


horseman  over  the  two  styles  of  send-offs,  the  former's 
argument  being  that  a  quick  breaker  like  Geraldine 
would  have  an  immense  advantage  in  a  start  over  the 
other  horses.  The  other  argued  that  a  "quick  breaker  " 
was  entitled  to  any  advantage  gained  by  her  quickness 
at  getting  on  her  stride,  and  if  her  conformation  was 
such  as  to  allow  her  to  do  so  she  was  a  superior  animal  ; 
that  where  all  were  "  lined  up"  and  sent  away  to  a  stand- 
ing start  they  were  on  an  equality,  and  horses  should 
and  would  soon  be  trained  to  break  quickly.  Whoever 
heard  of  a  human  sprinter,  matched  against  another,  be- 
ing complained  of  or  disbarred  because  he  could  "  break  " 
quicker  than  most  men  ?  His  superiority  over  his  oppo- 
nents as  a  runner  was  unquestioned.  What  is  true  in  a 
race  between  human  beings  is  true  in  a  horse  race.  No 
man  has  an  eye  quick  enough,  where  over  six  horses 
start  in  a  race,  to  see  whether  all  are  well  on  their  strides 
or  going  equally  strong,  and  such  a  man  will,  in  our 
opinion,  never  be  found.  Where  all  are  standing  and  on 
even  terms  there  can  be  no  advantage.  Who  has  not 
seen,  to  the  so-called  "  flying  start,"  one  horse  standing 
dead  still  out  in  front  of  his  field  three  or  four  lengths 
when  the  flag  fell  in  token  of  a  "  go,"  and  in  the  next 
instant  seen  the  animal  that  was  in  from  when  the  bunt- 
ing swished  absolutely  last,  and  a  bad  last  at  that,  be- 
cause he  was  not  on  his  stride  ?  Let  Mr.  Ferguson  give 
us  the  "  standing  start,"  and  if  he  does  not  make  the  hit 
that  Rowe  and  Brown  did  we  very  much  miss  our  guess, 
and  this  is  hardly  guesswork,  when  the  two  styles  have 
been  tried  in  our  city  and  one  has  proved  much  more 
popular  than  the  other. 

We  want  more  races  at  over  a  mile  than  we  have  been 
getting  and  fewer  short  selling  races.  The  breeding  of 
the  sprinter  should  not  be  encouraged,  but  the  rearing  of 
game  race  horses  with  plenty  of  stamina  should.  Two 
selling  races  a  day  are  a  great  sufficiency.  A  maiden 
race  should  be  given  nearly  every  afternoon  also,  and 
handicaps  should  take  the  place  of  a  ".ouple  of  the  selling 
races. 

In  our  opinion  the  rules  should  be  so  amended  that 
the  Secretary  and  the  official  handicapper  were  elected 
by  the  votes  of  all  the  members  present  at  the  annual 
meeting.  These  are  in  many  respects  the  most  important 
offices  within  the  gift  of  a  racing  association,  and  the 
holders  of  these  positions  should  possess  great  talent  of  a 
peculiar  character  and  be  well  paid  for  their  work. 


The  Great  Four- Year-Olds. 


In  looking  over  the  list  of  champion  four-year-olds, 
the  remarkable  fact  is  shown  that  the  California  brigade 
has  been  well  represented  every  year  since  Elaine  trotted 
in  1878  to  the  last  great  effort  of  Directum,  the  stallion 
king.  The  names  Bonita,  Manzanita,  Margaret  S.,  Su- 
nol, Direct  and  Directum  are  well  known  in  all  parts  of 
the  world  for  their  achievements  on  the  track.  The  fol- 
lowing from  The  Horseman  predicts  that  the  record  may 
be  cut  still  lower  : 

The  reason  of  1893  was  the  four-year-old  trotting  record 
cut  down  again  and  again  by  Directum,  till  it  now  stands,  in 
common  with  the  world's  race  and  stallion  records,  at  2:051/. 
These  figures  are  in  bold  contradiction  to  the  2:24}  in  which 
Elaine  trotted  in  1878,  aud  a  comparison  of  the  two  gives 
ths  most  magnificent  evidence  of  the  tremendous  improve- 
ment in  speed  made  by  the  American  trotter  in  the  past 
fifteen  years.  In  1879  the  Princeps  mare  Trinket  trotted 
three  miles  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  in  2:23J,  2:20}  and  2:19},  being 
the  first  four-year-old  to  enter  the  2:20  list.  Three  years 
passed  without  any  reduction  of  Trinket's  time  being  made; 
but  late  in  1S82  Ed  Bither  drove  Jay-Eye-See  a  mile  over  the 
old  Chicago  Driving  Park  track  in  this  city  in  2:19.  The 
next  champion  of  the  worst  year  of  a  horse's  life  was  Bonita, 
2:18},  by  Electioneer,  who  trotted  to  her  record  over  the 
Lexington  tracn  in  18S3,  and  in  1884  Elvira,  by  Culyer, 
chipped  a  quarter  of  a  second  from  Bonita's  time.  Three 
months  later  in  the  same  year,  the  gray  mare  Sally  Benton 
trotted  the  San  Francisco  track:  in  2:17$,  which  figures  were 
not  again  reduced  until  1886,  when  another  Palo  Alto  pro- 
duct, Manzanita,  cut  them  down  to  2:16A  and  later  to  2:16, 
where  the  championship  remained  until  1S90,  though  Edge- 
mark  equaled  them  in  1S90  over  the  course  at  Lexington. 
The  season  of  1890  was  one  of  great  four-year-olds,  Alienor), 
Margaret  S.,  Nancy  Hanks  and  Sunol  all  being  out,  and  the 
last  named  added  the  coveted  honor  to  her  collection  of 
championships,  trotting  at  Washington  Park  in  2:10A.  In 
1S71  no  giant  arose  in  the  land  to  wrest  Sunol's  laurels  from 
her,  but  in  1892  Moquette,  the  first  and  the  last  of  the  bouse 
of  Wilties  to  hold  the  four-year-old  record,  turned  the  Rich- 
mond, Ind.,  course  in  2:10,  which,  equaled  a  little  later  by 
Alix  at  Nashville.  This  year  Directum  and  Arion  shared 
the  honors,  the  latter,  though  overshadowed  by  the  greatness 
of  his  black  contemporary,  trotting  a  truly  wonderful  mile  in 
2:07}.  : 

Great  as  are  these  two  stallions,  the  four-year-old  kings  of 
1S93,  in  the  three-year-old  division  may  be  found  material 
from  which  a  greater  than  even  they  may  be  wrought.  Fan- 
tasy, 2:08}  ;  William  Penn,  2:12}  ;  Eoline,  2:14J  ;  Jayhawker, 
2:14}  and  Medio,  2:14},  proved  themselves  great  and  game 
performers  of  record-breaking  ability.  The  old  Scotch  say- 
ing "  It  is  a  far  cry  to  Loch  Awe  "  may  be  by  some  deemed 
applicable  here,  but  in  these  days  of  startling  reductions  of 
records  from  year  to  year  it  would  seem  that  the  four-year- 
old  mark,  if  not  the  world's  champion  record,  is  in  danger  of 
being  cut  down  in  1894.

Are  You  "With  Us  ? 


This  question  has  been  asked  by  thousands  on  the  eve  1 
of  some  of  the  greatest  social,  political  and   financial 
events  in  the  history  of  the  world,  and  upon  the  answer 
has  many  an  important  fact  been  established,  many  a 
great  crisis  passed  and  many  a  nation  saved. 

Are  you  with  us  ?  These  appropriate  words  have  been  j 
brought  very  strongly  to  view  at  this  critical  period  in  : 
the  history  of  trotting  and  pacing  races.  Never  before 
has  such  an  appeal  been  made  to  owners,  trainers  and 
admirers  of  America's  growing  industry  ;  and,  standing 
as  this  question  does  at  the  very  top  of  the  advertisement 
of  the  Fall  Meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Association,  its  import  should  be  strongly  and  indelibly 
impressed  upon  the  minds  of  every  devotee  of  the 
sport. 

By  a  perusal  of  all  the  amounts  paid  to  own- 
ers of  trotters  and  pacers  in  1S93,  it  will  be  learned  that 
the  earning  capacity  of  these  light  harness  horses  has 
increased  four  fold  ;  and,  when  the  first  gun  of  the  season 
fired  by  this  association  on  the  extreme  western  shore  of 
the  continent  proclaims  the  fact  that  over  $29,000  will 
be  paid  in  purs3s  at  one  meeting,  its  echo  will  be  heard 
reverberating  back  to  the  rock-bound  shores  of  Maine. 
In  order  to  give  owners  of  trotters  an  opportunity  to  get 
their  share  of  this  amount,  a  plan  has  been  formulated 
which,  even  in  its  inception,  has  created  the  greatest 
enthusiasm  and  awakened  an  interest  unprecedented 
in  the  history  of  trotting  and  pacing  on  this  coast. 
When  the  members  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  read  the 
various  announcements  in  that  programme,  their  anxiety 
to  have  every  one  of  their  colts  and  fillies  entered  for  the 
event*  advertised  will  be  intense.  Its  novelty  and  advan- 
tages appeal  to  all  horsemen,  whether  they  belong  to  the 
association  or  not. 

Are  you  with  us  in  the  plan  of  giving  big  purses  and 
asking  members  to  not  send  in  their  money  with  the  en- 
tries? Only  one  per  cent  is  the  amount  nominators  are 
liable  for  when  the  entry  is  made.  The  programme 
contains  events  suitable  to  horses  (trotters  and  pacers)  of 
all  classes,  and  the  large  amount  offered,  $29,100,  should 
be  sufficient  to  decide  in  every  horseman's  mind,  the 
question,  "  Do  you  want  any  of  it?"  or,  in  other  words, 
"  Are  you  with  us  ?  " 

Heretofore,  owners  of  horses  have  been  compelled  to 
pay  either  five  or  ten  per  cent  of  the  purse  offered  at  the 
time  of  making  entries,  and  most  of  the  horse  owners 
were  debarred  from  entering  more  than  one  or  two  for 
the  meeting.  It  was  a  hardship  for  some  of  them 
in  the  early  part  of  the  year  to  pay  this  large  amount  of 
money,  and  then  after  the  colt  which  was  nominated  was 
worked  a  month,  it  was  ascertained  that  instead  of  a  trotter 
it  was  a  pacer,  or  else  it  pulled  up  lame,  was  at- 
tacked with  distemper,  or  afflicted  with  the  other 
serious  drawbacks  that  compelled  him  to  be  thrown  out 
of  training.  Then  the  amount  paid  into  the  association 
went  glimmering  in  the  distance  like  a  meteor  across  the 
horizon  of  the  owner's  hopes,  bright  for  an  instant  only, 
then  lost  forever."  But  according  to  this  new  rule  own- 
ers are  only  liable  for  one  per  cent,  of  the  purse  at  the 
time  the  entry  is  made,  therefore,  if  the  one  nominated 
goes  wrong  that  is  the  total  amount  the  person  who 
nominates  the  colt  has  to  pay. 

Only  one  thing  remains  to  insure  the  success  of  the 
plan  adopted,  and  that  is  for  each  member  to  fill  out  the 
b'aaks  with  the  names  of  every  colt  and  filly  they  have, 
and,  if  any  of  them  do  not  come  up  to  expectations,  de- 
clare them  out  and  when  the  day  of  the  races  comes  they 
will  have  at  least  one  good  starter  to  win  a  portion  of  the 
$29,100.  "Are  you  with  us  on  this  liberal  proposi- 
tion?" 

We  repeat,  that  to  make  a  great  showing  now,  it  is 
necessary  for  every  owner  to  send  in  entries  for  the 
fall  meeting  at  once,  for  ';hey  will  close  February  1st. 
While  doing  so,  however,  it  would  be  well  for  every 
member  to  constitute  himself  a  committee  of  one  to  ask 
his  neighbor,  who  may  alBo  have  a  few  good  colts  and 
fillies,  "Are  you  with  us?  "  If  he  answers  in  the  nega- 
tive, induce  him  to  send  in  his  application  to  join  at  once. 
This  is  an  important  item  and  one  not  to  be  overlooked 
by  the  members. 

The  trotting  meetings  in  California,  Oregon  and  Ne- 
vada in  1894  promises  to  be  even  better  attended,  and 
therefore  more  successful  than  last  season,  for  more  well 
bred  horses  are  in  the  possession  of  true  lovers  of  the 
sport  than  ever  before,  and  when  the  directors  of  other 
associations  throughout  the  land  see  how  successful  the 
plan  devised  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.,  they  will  adopt  it 
and  a  greater  interest  will  be  awakened  in  the  meetings 
than  ever.    There   is  no    doubting   the    answer  these 


directors  will  give  to  the  question  :  '-Are  you  with  us  ?  " 
for  the  key  note  to  success  has  been  sounded,  and  its 
reverberations  are  heard  from  Mt.  Hood  to  San  Diego, 
and  from  the  Sierras  to  the  sea.

Pedigree  of  Direct's  Grandam. 

J.  C.  Newton,  of  South  Pasadena,  in  answer  to  a  letter  from 
this  office,  regarding  the  pedigree  of  Direct's  dam,  writes  : 

''  I  was  glad  to  learn  you  were  interested  in  tracing  the 
pedigree  of  Direct.  I  would  naturally  have  a  lively  interest 
in  him,  as  he  was  bred  by  L.  H.  Titus,  my  father-in-law,  and 
as  I  had  the  pleasure  of  driving  his  dam  in  several  of  her 
races,  John  D.  Young  owned  and  bred  the  dam  of  Ecbora  to 
Echo.  The  following  is  what  he  gave  me  in  relation  to  her 
breeding:  The  grand  dam  of  Echo  was  purchased  by  James 
T.  Young  in  1853,  and  brought  across  the  plains.  He  bought 
her  from  Abe  Barnes,  who  resided  near  Hnntsville,  Mo 
She  was  sired  by  a  Kentucky  Whip  stallion  owned  by  said 
Barnes.  Mr.  John  Young's  auot  told  him  she  itmu^ht  that 
Mr.  Barnes  came  to  California  and  settled  in  Yolo  County. 

Mr.  Young  also  told  me  that  after  proceeding  a  considerable 
distance  on  their  way  to  California  Mr.  Barnes  overtook 
them  and  offered  a  large  advance  on  the  price  paid  to  take 
her  back  again.  But  Mr.  Young's  father  declared  her  to  be 
just  whnt  he  wanted  to  take  to  California,  and  would  not  con- 
sent to  giving  her  up. 

With  this  information  as  a  line  to  work  on,  we  would  like 
to  have  our  Eastern  turf  journals  assist  us  to  trace  this  pedi- 
gree further.  _ 

A    Fact    for  Horsemen. 


To  illustrate  the  difference  in  bone  and  sinew  between  thor- 
oughbred and  common  stock  a  ranchman  in  the  far  West  lost 
eight  colts  in  one  season  from  different  causes.  He  amputated 
the  legs  of  all  of  them  and  boiled  off  the  flesh,  cleaning  the 
bones  thoroughly,  to  learn  by  examination  what  difference  in 
respect  to  bone  there  was  between  blooded  and  common  ones. 

On  taking  the  bones  of  the  thoroughbred  and  holding  them 
up  to  the  light,  he  noticed  that  they  were  almost  transparent, 
so  much  so  as  white  bone.  He  tried  the  same  experiment 
with  the  bones  of  the  inferior  stock.  Thev  were  opaque,  and 
transmitted  light  no  more  than  a  buffalo  born. 

He  then  tested  the  bones  by  weight,  and  found  those  of  the 
thoroughbred  hv  far  the  heavier,  showing  their  superior  sob- 
stance  and  solidity.  They  were  bard  and  dense  as  ivory.  As 
a  rule  this  holds  good  in  relation  to  tendons  and  ligaments. 
This  is  a  singular  fact. 


"Winning  Thoroughbred  Sires  in  1893. 

A  complete  compilation  of  the  winnings  of  the  get  of  the 
most  prominent  thoroughbred  sires  in  the  United  States 
places  the  lords  of  the  harem  in  the  following  order  : 

Himyar §246,382       Fonso SSS.4S0 

SirModred 160,197        Longfellow 88,352 

Iroquois. 137,875       Onondasa 85,917

Spendthrift _    108.960       Eolos 64  630 

St.  Blaise 100.375       Midlothian 52,240 

Himyar's  list  is,  of  course,  placed  ahead  of  the  others  by 
the  enormous  winnings  of  bis  son  Domino.  Correction  won 
$10,795,  and  forty-one  other  winners  contributed  to  their  sire's 
total.  Sir  Mod  red's  biggest  winners  are  Sir  Excess,  Comanche, 
Dr.  Hasbroucb  and  Gloaming,  while  his  total  number  of 
winners  is  fifty-four.  Senator  Grady,  with  $40,450,  heads 
Iroquois'  list ;  he  is  assisted  by  Helen  Nichols,  Tammany, 
Huron,  Addie,  Red  Banner  and  thirty-seven  others.  Mr. 
Pickwick,  the  imported  son  of  Hermit,  has  the  good  colt  Dob- 
bins, with  winnings  of  $-57,667,  as  his  chief  standard  bearer, 
followed  by  Hornpipe  and  twenty-one  others.  Spendthrift's 
best  winner  is  Lamplighter,  who  was  backed  up  by  fifty 
others,  of  whom  old  Kingston  contributed  $7,735.  St,  Blaise, 
another  son  of  the  great  Blanckney  sire,  was  championed,  by 
St.  Leonards  and  twenty-six  more  who  were  above  the  aver- 
age in  usefulness.  Fonso  has  thirty-one  winners  in  all,  and 
Rudolph  heads  his  list  with  539,365.  Longfellow's  sixty 
winners  include  Dara  Vela,  Rainbow  and  Tyre,  none  of 
which  contributed  a  very  large  total.  Onondaga's  list  is 
topped  by  Dr.  Rice,  with  $10,905,  and  forty-seven  others 
make  up  his  total.  Banquet,  of  course,  is  the  best  money- 
getter  for  Rayon  d'Or  for  the  year,  the  old  gelding  placing 
$17,510  to  his  credit ;  thirty-six  more  were  first  past  the  post 
on  one  or  more  occasions.  Morelloand  Diablo  earned  nearly 
all  that  is  credited  to  Eolus,  though  fourteen  others  help  to 
make  his  amount  of  $64,630.  Midlothian's  position  in  the 
select  $50,000  list  is  due  to  the  performance  of  his  son,  Sir 
Walter,  who  won  close  to  $40,000.  His  money-winners  num- 
bered only  eleven  all  told. 

In  point  of  numbers  of  money-winners  the  order  above 
given  is  materially  changed.  Under  this  mode  of  classifica- 
tion the  stallions  rank  thus  :

Himyar 43       Eolos.. 16 

Iroquois 43       Midlothian- 11 

There  are  certainly  other  stallions  which  have  produced 
more  winners  than  some  of  the  names  at  the  bottom  of  the 
above  list,  but  as  the  total  winnings  of  their  get  do  not  foot 
up  -?50,000  they  are  not  considered  here.  The  number  of 
winners  a  horse  has  upon  the  turf  in  a  season  is,  to  a  certain 
extent,  determined  by  the  number  ot  years  he  has  been  in  the 
stud,  in  which  respect  Longfellow  is  far  ahead  of  Sir  Modred, 
though  only  supplyiog  sis  more  winners.  The  saving,  "the 
Sir  Mod  reds  all  race,"  is  certainly  Dot  unfounded  upon  fact. 
The  chief  lesson,  however,  to  be  learned  from  the  above 
table  is  that  the  home-bred  stallions  exceed  the  imported 
ones  both  as  regards  the  number  of  winners  sired  and  the 
money  won  by  them.  Domino's  wonderful  success  gives 
Himyar  his  premier  position,  but  even  if  the  black  colt  had 
won  but  as  much  as  his  competitor,  Dobbins,  he  would  have 
been  well  up  towards  the  top  of  the  list. — The  Horseman. 


Santa  Clara  Agricultural  Society. 


A  meeting  of  the  Directors  of  the  Santa  Clara  Valley  Ag- 
ricultuial  Society  was  held  Januaryl2  at  the  office  of  Paul  P. 
Austin,  there  being  present  President  Buckley  and  Directors 
Boots,  Montgomery,  Rea  and  Hobson. 

S.  G.  Benson  was  re-elected  Secretary  by  a  unanimous  vote, 
and  in  like  manner  the  Garden  City  Bank  and  Trust  Com- 
pany was  re-elected  Treasurer. 

To  the  surprise  and  regret  of  all  President  Buckley  tend- 
ered his  resignation,  *.o  take  effect  immediately,  assigning  as  a 
reason  for  so  doing  that  the  labors  connected  with  the  office 
were  constantly  increasing  and  thai  be  could  no  longer  spare 
the  necessary  time  from  his  private  business. 

The  Directors  unanimously  urged  Mr.  Buckley  to  withdraw 
his  resignation,  or  at  least  to  consent  to  have  action  upon  it 
deferred  for  one  month,  so  that  if,  at  the  end  of  that  time,  he 
cannot  be  induced  to  change  his  mind,  they  will  have  had  an 
opportunity  to  look  about  them  and  do  the  best  possible  in  se- 
curing some  one  to  occupy  the  place  so  efficiently  filled 
by  him. 

In  this  view  of  the  case  Mr.  Buckley  consented  to  have  ac- 
tion deferred  for  one  month,  and  it  was  so  ordered. 

A  communication  was  received  from  E.  Younger  in  re- 
gard to  the  payment  of  a  premium  claimed  to  have  been 
awarded,  but  not  marked  in  the  committee  book.  Upon  this 
action  was  deferred  until  the  next  meeting. 

The  action  of  the  President  in  refusing  to  relet  the  Park 
House  for  a  saloon  was  uoanimo'jsly  indorsed,  and  the  future 
disposition  to  be  made  of  the  dwelling  was  referred  to  the 
President  and  Secretary  with  power  to  act. 

Adjourned  to  meet  February  lOihat  2  p.  m. 

Valuable  For  Horsemen. 


F.  C.  Bridge  &  Co.,  of  313  Bush  street,  have  just  issued  a 
very  useful,  in  fact,  an  indispensible  book  for  lovers  of  the 
turf  and  students  of  form.  It  is  called  the  San  Francisco 
Turf  Guide,  and  it  contains  a  complete  summary  and  index 
of  the  entire  Blood  Horse  meeting  and  also  the  races  of  the 
first  two  weeks  of  the  California  Jockey  Club,  the  complete 
amounts  of  money  won,  the  li^t  of  jockey  mounts  and  the  re- 
sults of  everv  day's  races,  in  fact,  it  is  a  compendium  of  all 
the  racing  cards  published,  and  the  most  complete  thing  of  its 
kind  ever  devised  for  the  purpose.  By  it  horsemen 
and  the  public  can  tell  at  a  glance  exactly  how  every  horse 
raced  and  the  way  he  ran,  where  he  was  at  every  eighth  and 
how  he  stood  in  the  betting.  Although  its  publication  in- 
volves great  expense,  it  will  be  sold  for  the  low  price  of  $1 
per  copy.  It  can  be  had  at  this  office  or  at  ail  the  leading 
newsdealers  in  this  city. 

"  One  of  the  greatest  surprises  I  ever  got,"  said  the  veteran 
horse  owner,  Mr.  Salisbury,  the  other  day,  "was  on  my  re- 
turn from  the  East  this  fall :  upon  looking  over  the  colts  and 
horses  left  here  in  California,  Mr.  Xeal  had  been  working 
quite  a  number  during  the  last  two  months  previous  to  my 
return,  and  much  to  my  surprise  ba  had  them  all  going 
smooth,  level  and  fast.  I  had  no  idea  he  could  drive  or  con- 
dition a  horse,  therefore  my  surprise  was  all  the  more."

THE    GUN. 

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 

General  Dustus  E  Loon  was  accidentally  shot  and  killed 
while  hunting  with  a  friend  near  Sao  Diegoacouple  of  weeks 
ago.  


Charles  Reed,  who  is  the  owner  of  a  1003-acre  tract  of 
land  in  the  northern  portion  of  this  county,  was  in  the  city 
a  few  days  ago  aud  gave  out  the  information  that  he  had  laid 
uil  a  reservation  of  several  acres  for  the  purpose  of  a  deer 
park  and  thit  he  now  has  within  the  euclosure  five  beautiful 
white  tailed  specimens.  It  is  his  intention  to  increase  this 
number  by  the  addition  of  about  ten  more  and  care  for  them 
as  they  require,  with  a  view  to  supplying  himself  and  his 
friends  with  plenty  of  sport  and  deer  meal  in  an  inexpensive 
manner,  after  a  proper  season  has  elapsed.  This  is  certainly 
a  meritorio.is  plan  and  should  be  emulated  by  more  of  our 
large  land  owners. — Yanihil   Reporter. 

Probably  the  most  aristocratic  uf  all  Southern  California 
sportsmen's  clubs  is  the  San  Joaquin  Shooting  Club,  whose 
preserve  is  located  on  the  immense  San  Joaquin  ranch  in 
Orange  county,  owned  by  Mr.  James  Irvine,  the  San  Fran- 
tllionaire,  who  is  a  member  of  the  club,  and  comprises 
10,000  acres.  The  club  was  organized  in  1889  by  Count  J. 
Schmidt,  an  Australian  gentleman,  who  has  large  inter- 
ests throughout  that  section  of  the  State.  Count  Von  Schmidt 
is  president  of  the  cluband  its  membership  is  limited  to  fif- 
teen, only  five  of  whom  are  permitted  to  visit  the  preseave  at 
a  time aiid  they  are  allowed  to  hunt  odIv  twenty-four  hours 
each  week.  Lar^e  sums  of  money  have  been  expended  to  make 
this  one  of  the  best  preserves  in  Southern  California.  The 
club  has  imported  several  hundred  Japanese  pheasants.and 
has  already  stocked  its  grounds  liberally  with  Arizooaquails, 
white  its  waters  have  been  slocked  with  20,000  speckled  trout 
and  other  game  fish.  Still  greater  improvements  are  con- 
templated by  the  club  the  coming  summer. — American

An  old  and  interesting  ^tiantily  game  book,  which  was 
stolen  from  the  Chateau  after  the  murder  of  the  Due  de 
Bourbon,  and  which  was  recovered  only  a  few  years  ago,  is 
one  of  the  most  cherished  treasures  of  the  Duce  D'Aumale. 
It  is  bound  in  red  morrocco,  elapsed  with  gold,  and  is  an  in- 
teresting and  valuable  relic  of  the  days  of  the  Prince  de 
Conde.  The  bags  in  those  days  were  marvelous,  considering 
that  flint-locks  only  were  used.  In  October,  1785,  a  party  of 
fourteen  guns  killed  4^216  head  in  twodays,  the  bag  including 
'J.oH*  partridges  and  1,595  hares.  A  fortnight  earlier  fourteen 
guns  killed  just  1,900  head,  including  1,000  patridges  in  one 
i  previously  seven  guns  killed  2,700  head  in  two  days, 
including  1, '.'50  partridges.  The  shooting  season  then  appears 
to  have  begun  early  in  August,  for  on  the  tenth  of  that  month 
the  Due  de  Bourbon  and  six  friends  killed  nearly  1,000  part- 
ridges. When  the  Duke  of  Wellington  went  shooting  at 
iilletwtth  Charles  X,  the  party  of  four  guns  killed 
1,750  head  in  one  day.  The  Duke  had  ten  guns  and  ten  sol- 
diers to  load  them. 

Coursing  Turkeys. 


A  correspondent  of  Shooting  and  Fishing  writes  that  paper 
the  following  well-told  description  of  turkey  coursing  in 
Mexico  at  the  rancho  of  Don  Placido  Nunez,  on  the  SaD 
Bernardino  bottoms :  « 

We  are  in  the  saddle  at  daybreak  (says  the  writer)  for  the 
turkeys  come  down  early  to  drink  and  feed  in  the  open  vegas, 
or  parks.  The  greyhounds,  which  have  not  been  fed  since 
sundown,  have  an  eager,  hungry  look  about  them  that  pre- 
keeu,  quick  run  when  the  game  is  found.  It  is  a 
gathering  enfamiUe.  The  young  ladies  are  mounted — one  on 
:i  stylish-looking  pinto  ;  the  other  on  a  flea-bitten  roan,  who 
is  better  than  he  looks.  You  are  surprised  to  see  them  astride 
and  in  semi-masculine  costume;  but  no  matter!  You  will 
,-ee  riding  today,  and  of  a  kind  that  disbars  the  use  of  a 
habit.  And  ihen  who  could  expect  to  use  the  riata  in  any 
other  position  '.' 

The  Don  on  his  big  black,  and  Pedro  (the  peon)  on  his 
clay  bank,  leading  a  pack  mule,  bring  up  the  rear.  For  our- 
selves «e  have  a  pair  of  irongreys  well  inured  to  the  business, 
and  at  each  pommel  hangs  a  light  buckskin  lariat,  made 
especially  for  this  work.  Pedro  alone  carries  my  Winchester 
in  case  of  emergency,  or  on  the  chance  of  big  game,  and,  with 
tlie  hounds  in  leash,  we  head  for  the  mesa  near  Elias  creek. 

We  are  on  the  ground  now,  in  the  shelter  of  the  timber, 
and  everv  eye  is  siraioed  for  the  first  sight  of  the  game, 
points  quickly  toward  a  moving  object  in  the  edge  of 
the  woods,  200  vards  away,  and  you  utter  an  exclamation  of 
astonishment,  for  there,  with  an  undulating  sweep  like  a  wave 
on  the  fcea  beach,  you  see  a  line  of  glossy  plumage  surge  out 
on  the  open  stretch.  Ten,  fifteen,  twenty  minutes  pass,  and 
still  they  come.  Then  the  last  straggler  has  entered  the 
chaparral,  and  we  uncoil  our  lariats,  and,  spreading  out  in  a 
semi-circle  between  them  and  the  timber,  urge  our  horses 

3uietlv  furward.     We  get  within  a  hundred  yards  before  they 
iscover  OS;  then,  as   I   slip  the  hounds,  there  is  a  hoarse 
cluck  of  alarm,  a  thundering  flurry  of  wings,  and  the  chase 

Sit  deep  in  your  saddle  now,  and  ride  aa  you  never  rode  be- 
forel     rbe  air  ia  front  of  you,  is  black  with  rushing  forms, 
hut  their  flight  will  l>e  short,  and  there  is  open  ground  ahead. 
The  thorny  chaparral  tears  at   your   leg",  and  you  know  now 
why  the  Mooritaa  rid.-  astride  and  eschew  riding  habits.  Mark 
thorn   in  the  van,  with  I  issos  playing  a  rataplan  on  their 
honteeflanka,and  their  hair  s'reaiiiiiiL.' in  the  wind.     Now  we 
have  reached  the  open  ground,  and  already  we  see  the  leaders 
the  ground  and  break  into  a  run.     The  hounds  are 
up  rapidly,  and  in  a  moment  will  be  upon  them.     A 
frantic  gobble  of  terror,  and    the  hindmost   f-prings  into  the 
air,  hut  his  fit   body  has  been  over-nurtured   by  the  abun- 
I  in 'i-i.  aod  the  take-ofl'  is  slow.     A  streak  of  tan-col- 
ored hair  leap    up  nfter  him,  and  in  another  second  we  hear 
the  champ  of  the  jaws  an  he  rolls  him  over  in  the  loose  soil. 
Another  leap  through  the  cloud  of  du^t,  and  the  other  hound 
i  magnifioeol  gobbler,  which  is  still  kicking  as  we 
"  Urav) !     Plash,     <  i<»od  dog  !    Swift.  After  them, 
„'  the  dying  birds  for  Pedro  to  pick  up,  we 
fly  onward  in  ftwtfi  pursuit      Three  times  is  this  repeated,  but 
the  flights  are  geitine  --horler,  and  now  the  hounds  kill  them 
on  the  ground.     Thi  y  scatter  coo  fused  (r,  and  Dolores  swings 
her  lariat  over  her  bead.  Z— ipl  and  there  is  a  laughing  cry 
of  triumph  as  the  Hying   noose  encircles   the  head  of  a  big 
gobbler,  and  d    iblea  him  up  with  a  broken  neck.     Whiz/.  I 
and  my  own  lariat  crosws  Conchita'a,  aa  we  both  pull  our 


birds  up  standing,  and  rapidly  haul  them  in  hand  overhand. 
A  blow  on  the  head  from  the  loaded  end  of  our  cuertas  (whips), 
and  we  leave  tbem  where  they  lie,  and  coil  our  ropes  anew. 
But  you  have  not  been  idle.  Well  thrown,  my  friend  !  But 
your  loop  was  a  trifle  large,  and  the  outstretched  neck  is 
very  long  and  thin.  The  noose  catches  him  around  the  body 
just  in  front  of  the  wings,  and  he  will  be  loose  immediately. 
Turn  your  horse  now  and  gallop  like  mad  through  yonder 
clump  of  greasewood,  dragging  him  through  it  where  he  shall 
catch  and  break  his  neck  in  the  branch  ts.  "Bueno!  Amigo," 
and  you  have  roped  and  killed  your  bird  in  gallant  style.  But 
see  yonder !  For  the  third  time  the  old  Don  is  coiling  his 
rope  on  the  run.  A  huge  turkey  leaves  the  ground  in  a  last 
spasmodic  flight,  but  the  big  black  is  almost  on  him  as  he 
raises.  Once,  twice,  thrice  the  old  man's  arm  whirls  above 
his  head;  then  the  slender  coil  leaves  his  hand  in  an  un- 
broken circle,  and,  gradually  diminishing  as  it  goes,  falls  in 
an  eight-inch  ring  directly  in  front  of  the  turkey,  who  drives 
his  neck  into  it  with  a  thud  which  is  distinctly  audible  from 
where  we  sit  watching  that  superb  cast.  The  trained  black 
wheels  instantly,  and,  in  a  cloud  of  dust  and  glory,  with  his 
prize  bounding  like  a  huge  rubber  ball  at  the  end  of  his  taut 
riata,  the  old  vaquero  comes  galloping  up  to  us,  bowing  to 
his  pommel  in  graceful  acknowledgement  of  the  enthusiastic 
praise  we  shower  upon  him. 

We  literally  choke  off  the  dogs  now,  and  assist  Pedro  in 
picking  up  and  packing  our  game.  We  have  eighteen  turkeys 
in  the  panniers,  and  only  stop  long  enough  to  let  you  try 
your  hand  again  on  one  old  fellow  of  aldermanic  proportions, 
which  we  find  skulking  in  the  brash.  Amid  a  running  fire 
of  jest  and  laughing  raillery,  we  run  him  to  a  standstill,  and, 
after  a  score  of  futile  attempts,  in  which  you  successively 
catch  your  hat,  your  horse's  neck,  and  innumerable  mesquite 
boughs,  your  rope  settles  down  fairly  on  his  bronze  neck,  and 
he  is  hauled  out  amidst  a  mimic  thunder  of  applause. 

Home  again  now,  with  the  soft,  sensuous  suntide  laving 
brow  and  cheek,  and  the  quaint  odor  of  juniper  and  arte- 
mesia  in  your  nostrils ;  past  the  deserted  jacales  of  the  wan- 
dering Apaches,  long  since  removed  to  the  agency  atSan 
Carlos  ;  over  the  crumbling  ruins  of  an  ancient  pueblo,  whose 
site  is  marked  now  by  heaps  of  broken  shards,  and  whose 
origin  is  lost  in  the  shadows  of  pre  historic  gloom  ;  across  the 
shallow  ford,  where  we  stop  to  water  our  horses,  and  watch  a 
heron  fishing,  and  so  on  into  the  inviting  coolness  of  the  casa 
shadows,  where  a  hammock  and  a  cigarito  awats  us.  And 
then  the  luxury  of  a  refreshing  bath,  and  the  delicious  din- 
ner which  follows : — A  roast  turkey,  with  a  dressing  of  boiled 
walnuts,  peas,  pinole  (parjhed  cornflour),  garlic,  and  savory 
herbs;  an  ardent  stew  of  mutton,  cauliflower  and  red  pepper; 
a  salad  of  crisp  watercress  and  sliced  tomatoes ;  a  dish  of  cream 
cheese,  made  of  sheep  and  goats'  milk  ;  an  entree  of  tomales, 
smokiog  in  their  corn  husk  envelopes,  and  a  platter  of  seed 
cakes,  with  a  tiny  glass  of  mescal,  and  a  black  cigarro  at  the 
end. 

Over  the  seductions  of  Casino  grande  and  conquien  we  will- 
ingly promise  at  eventide  that  we  will  come  again  poco  tiem- 
po  (in  a  little  while)  and  stay  longer ;  and  it  ie  with  an  ac- 
celerated heart-beat  that  \*e  note  the  look  of  genuine  regret 
in  their  kindly  eyes  when  we  mount  our  horses  in  the  soft 
dawn  and  wave  them  an  "  Adios  !"  from  the  hill  crest  beyond 
the  corral. 

Reindeer. 


M.  Nordenskiold,  in  his  voyage  in  the  Vega  to  the  Asiatic 
shore  of  Behring  Sea,  noticed  a  marked  difference  between 
the  Dog  Chukchs,  the  inhabitants  of  the  shore,  and  the  Rein- 
deer Chukchs  of  the  interior.  The  latter  were  better  clothed 
and  in  better  circumstances.  Both  showed  a  kindness  to  their 
animals  unusual  in  semi-savage  people.  The  Coast  Chukchs 
always  carried  dog  shoes,  neatly  made  of  bags  of  soft  leather, 
with  straps  attached,  to  put  on  their  dogs'  feet  if  cut  by  the 
sharp  snow. 

The  herd  of  a  Reindeer  Chukch  came  down  from  the  pas- 
ture every  morning  to  meet  their  master.  The  leading  stag 
came  first,  and  bade  him  good-morning  by  gently  rubbing  his 
nose  aga:nst  his  master's  hands.  All  the  other  deer  were  then 
allowed  to  do  thesame,  the  master  taking  each  b>  the  horn 
and  carefully  examining  its  condition.  The  inspection  over. 
the  whole  herd  wheeled  and  returned  to  the  pasture.  It 
would  be  difficult  to  name  another  beast  of  burden  so  tame 
and  so  efficient  as  the  reindeer. 

A  good  reindeer  will  travel  100  miles  a  day  over  frozen 
snow,  and  can  draw  a  weight  of  300  pounds,  thus  surpassing 
the  dog  by  one-half  in  distance  and  two-thirds  in  drawing 
power.  


ROD- 


A  Trout  Outing  "With  "An  Honest  Angler." 


It  was  fully  G  a.  M.  when  we  started.  The  hour  would  not 
have  been  early  enough  for  me  ten  years  or  more  ago,  but  I 
notice  as  we  take  on  more  years  we  are  inclined  to  take  life 
easy,  and  seem  unwilling  to  be  hurried.  When  young  we  are 
liable  to  go  off  half-cocked,  as  the  saying  is,  but  older  heads 
are  fully  as  reliable — eveu  if  the  spirits  do  not  effervesce  as 
readily.  So,  after  packing  the  truck  in  the  light  wagon,  we 
went  into  the  house  and  took  a  good  breakfast  and  saw  that 
the  dogs  were  properly  fed. 

Then,  away  we  sped  behind  our  fast  team,  while  the  dust 
whirled  up  behind  us,  threatening  annihilation  to  any  team 
unfortunate  enough  to  drop  back  of  us.  Jim  held  the  reins, 
while  the  doctor  and  I  had  nothing  to  do  but  sit  on  the  back 
seat,  puff,  and  watch  that  none  of  the  camp  duffle  fell  over- 
board. 

After  a  tbirteen-mile  drive  we  brought  up  at  a  little  clear- 
ing in  the  woods,  where  we  pitched  our  tent  so  many  limes 
before.  There  were  the  tent-pegs,  just  as  they  had  been 
driven  on  our  last  trip  in  June,  while  the  scattered,  yet  still 
blackened  embers  gave  evidence  that  the  campers  had  re- 
quired fried  fish  and  coffee. 

Ten  minutes  at  helping  Jim  in  putting  up  the  tent,  and 
then  the  Doctor  and  I  sauntered  awav  in  the  direction  of  the 
brook,  with  our  creels  hung  from  the  shoulder  and  our  lance- 
woods  in  our  hands.  On  reaching  the  stream  the  Doctor 
flipped  a  coin  into  the  air,  in  accordance  with  our  time- 
honored  custom,  and  I  won,  and  selected  the  downstream 
course.  Then  we  separated  with  the  understanding  that  if 
either  one  or  each  of  us  secured  ten  fish  by  ten  o'clock,  then 
the  catch  was  to  be  brought  in  for  the  noon  frying-pan. 

It  is  needless  to  describe  my  adventures  with  the  trout  that 
pleasant  forenoon,  for  the  old,  old  subject  has  been   talked  of 


so  many  times,  and,  moreover,  there  are  so  many  who  can  re- 
late feats  at  fishing  better  than  I  that  I  will  leave  it  to  others. 
Ten  o'clock  came,  aod  when  I  reached  camp  with  my  thir- 
teen fish,  I  found  the  Doctor  there  before  me  with  sixteen 
that  about  matched  mine  in  size.  The  largest  one  of  our 
catch  weighed  slightly  over  a  half  a  pound,  while  several 
were  just  under  that  notch.  It  was  suggested  that  a  fire  be 
started  and  a  meal  prepared,  and  Jim  remarked  that  both  of 
us  would  have  turned  up  at  camp  long  before  nonn  whether 
we  had  our  ten  fish  or  not.  We  did  not  dispute  him,  for  we 
knew  it  was  the  truth,  and,  moreover,  we  could  excuse  his 
plain  remarks  about  hungry  men,  as  the  skillet  now  began  to 
throw  out  an  appetizing  fragrance.  The  doctor  eaved  out 
half  a  dozen  of  the  largest  trout,  which  he  dressed  and  sailed 
and  laid  by  for  future  discussion. 

"This  one,"  said  he,  picking  up  the  largest  one  of  the  lof, 
and  the  one  which  I  had  caught,  ''goes  to  the  Colonel :  these 
two  I  will  send  to  Charlie's  little  sick  girl,  and  the  other  three 
shall  be  served  on  my  table." 

11  Well,  if  that's  so,  where  do  my  trout  come  in?  "  I  asked. 
"  Dh,  vou  are  a  man  with  no  family,  no  aspirations  beyond 
the  frying-pan  of  to  day,  and  are  not  deserving  of  notice  in 
the  divisions  of  the  spoils.  And,  moreover,  "  he  continued, 
"  look  there" — pointing  to  the  twentv-three  little  fellows  siz- 
zling in  the  pan.  "There  are  your  fish,  and  I'll  help  you  eat 
'em,  and  then  to  make  matters  even,  you  can  come  to  my 
house  and  eat  some  that  I  am  going  to  catch  this  afternoon." 
Then  he  slapped  me  on  the  back,  told  Jim  to  hurry  up, 
and  proceeded  to  improvise  a  banquet  table  out  of  a  wagon 
seat,  piling  the  cushions  and  blankets  at  the  sides  for  chairs. 
In  fifieen  minutes  nothing  was  left  of  the  small  fry  but 
three  little  piles  of  bones,  and  we  were  taking  our  after-din- 
ner smoke  at  eleven  in  the  forenoon.  Then  after  a  glance  in- 
side of  the  tent  to  see  that  everything  was  correctly  appointed, 
the  doctor  proposed  another  try  for  the  "speckled  chaps," 
"  fi  t  fly-casting  is  the  pride  of  my  life,"  said  he,  as  we  parted. 
My  companion  took  the  down  course,  while  I  went  up.  The 
doctor  was  nearly  out  of  sight  when  he  made  a  sudden  move- 
ment at  the  side  of  the  path.  I  watched  covertly  and  with  aD 
awkward  sense  of  the  fitness  of  things  to  the  requirements  of 
the  season.  He  made  another  lunge,  and  then  another,  and, 
all  unconsciously,  gave  a  big  grunt,  caused  by  his  violent  ex- 
ertious.  bur  be  it  known,  the  Doctor,  who  considered  him- 
self who.ly  concealed  from  view,  was  catching  grasshoppers. 
1  bettered  my  pusition  and  watched  the  champion  fly-fisher- 
man alternately  plunge  and  crawl  in  his  ludicrous  attempts 
to  snare  ihe  kicking  grasshoppers.  After  watching  him  for 
five  minutes,  during  which  time  I  had  a  hard  time  control- 
ling my  risibles,  I  turned  about  to  the  business  in  hand — and 
w  II  acknowledge  to  the  readers  of  this  "  o'er-true  tale" 
that  I  began  to  catch  grasshoppers,  too.  But  of 
course  I  was  not  so  entirely  bad  as  the  Doctor,  for  he  was 
caught  in  the  act,  while  my  actions  were  wholly  concealed. 
And  then  I  caught  another  grasshopper  and  laughed. 

11  I'll  have  it  in  for  that  old  codger.  The  old  cheat !  Good 
Doctor  enough,  but  a  miserable  quack  on  angling ;  a  veritable 
swindle  on  the  fly-casting  profession.  The  idea  of  a  man  of 
bis  years,  who  was  reared  in  Vermont,  where  the  trout  won't  . 
touch  anything  but  artificial  flies,  trying  to  pose  as  a  cham- 
pion (another  grasshopper)  here  in  Michigan.  Til  fix  him.'' 
Here  I  made  another  lunge  for  a  hopper  which  was  sitting  on 
a  golden  rod.  I  missed  my  game,  but  tumbled  headlong.  .  I 
ht  ard  a  loud  burst  of  laughter,  looked  up,  and  there  was  the 
Dei  tor,  sitting  on'lhe  top  rail  of  the  fence,  rubbing  his  hands 
gleefu  ly. 

il  You're  a  nice  one,"  said  he.  "  An  ornament  to  honest 
fishermen's  principles.  Oh,  I'm  on  to  your  ways.  You  make 
me  think  of  the  time  when  I  was  a  boy  and  used  worms  and 
hoppers.*' 

I  braced  myself,  for  I  knew  I  was  in  for  it,  and  blurted  out 
that  I  always  thought  it  proper  to  use  anything  to  catch  fish 
with  and  thought  that  he  used  hoppers  by  spells. 

"Never,  sir  !  never  used  a  grasshopper  or  worm  in  my  life 
— that  is,  since  I  was  fourteen  years  old,  down  in  Vermont," 
aod  the  honest,  lambent  gray  eyes  looked  truthfully  into 
mine. 

"How  could  I  doubt  him?  But  I  did.  I  know  at  that 
minute  that  there  were  a  lot  of  kicking  hoppers  in  his  bait 
box,  trying  to  escape.  But  the  jig  was  up,  as  I  had  lost  my 
one  grand  opportunity  of  convicting  this  unprofessional  old 
cheat. 

Honest!  Well,  I  should  say  the  Doctor  was  honest.  There 
does  not  live  a  man  in  whom  I  would  place  greater  confidence 

than  in  Dr.  H ,  but  I  will  never  believe  him  again  in  the 

slightest  degreein  anything  that  relates  to  fish  or  fishing.  All 
that  afternoon,  as  I  boldly  and  artistically  baited  my  hook 
with  the  struggling  hoppers,  I  could  see  those  honest  gray 
eyps  looking  at  me  and  hear  that  convincing  voice : 

"  Never  used  a  grasshopper  or  worm  in  my  life — that  is, 
since  I  was  fourteen  years  old,  down  in  Vermont '' — the  old 
cheat !     But  I'll  catch  him  at  it  again. 

At  seven  o'clock  we  were  at  the  tent  with  good-sized  strings, 
and  what  a  great  supper  we  had  by  the  light  of  the  fire.  Jim 
was  a  great  cook,  and  our  appetites  could  easily  have  over- 
looked any  deficiencies.  Smoking  followed,  as  a  matter  of 
course,  and  I  engaged  the  Doctor  in  a  talk  on  fish-lies  and 
liars.  The  hardened  spirit  of  prevarication  was  too  deeply 
rooted  in  his  otherwise  truthful  nature  to  permit  of  his  suffer- 
ing qualms  of  conscience,  and  I  finally  gave  over.  However, 
he  raised  himself  in  my  estimation  by  saying  : 

"  If  I  owned  a  boy — and  I've  two  of  them — who  would  not 
tell  a  whopper  of  a  fish  story  to  his  mother  with  a  straight 
face,  I'd  disown  him." 

And  then  we  went  to  bed,  and  I  assure  you  that  I  resolved 
before  sleep  closed  my  eyelids  that  in  the  future  I  would  be 
a  good,  honest,  straightforward  piscatorial  liar — although  I'd 
been  a  truthful  angler  for  upwards  of  a  score  of  years. — Dr. 
Morris  Gibbs  in  The  American  Angler. 


Fined  For  Illegal  Fishing. 


The  trial  of  A.  B.  Silva  for  fishing  with  gill  nets  in  Russian 
river,  came  up  before  Justice  Brown  in  Santa  Rosa  recently. 
Assistant  District  Attorney  Leppo  represented  the  people,  and 
J.  W.  Oates  the  defendant.  The  defense  was  entirely  upon 
the  constitutionality  of  the  ordinance.  The  Justice  overruled 
the  objections, aod  the  case  being  submitted  after  the  hearing 
ol  the  evidence  for  the  people,  Silva  was  found  guilty  and 
fined  $75.  Silva  will  appeal  thecase.  The  representatives  of 
the  Commission  and  the  people  are  well  pleased  over  the  re- 
sult of  the  trinl.  The  town  was  full  of  fishermen  from  the 
mouth  of  the  river,  who  are  sore  over  the  loss  of  the  case. 
The  run  of  steel-head  trout  in  local  streams  is  said  to  be  the 
largest  in  years,  the  close  patrol  of  the  river  allowing  the  fish 
to  come  up.

DOINGS   IN  DOC-DOM. 


Note  our  kennel  ads. 


John  Davidson  will  judge  all  classes  at  New  Orleans  tte 
coining  week. 

Mr.  J.  H.  Winslow's  pointer  Admiration  died  recently  of 
blood  poisoning. 

In  spite  of  all  adverse  criticism  the  Boston  Terrier  is  hold- 
ing its  own  and  a  little  more. 

The  United  States  Field  Trials  will  be  held  on  February 
12th  in  place  of  February  19th. 


The  pointer  Dame  Bang  is  not  dead  after  all.  Three  re- 
porters reported  her  dead,  but  she  is  still  well  and  hearty. 

The  English  setter  Dick  Noble  (Count  Noble — Dido) 
owned  by  Frank  Leonard,  of  Pawtucket,  R.  I ,  died  a  couple 
of  weeks  ago. 

The  Great  Dane  Melac,  that  we  have  all  heard  so  much 
about,  was  recently  sold  for  §475.  This  is  not  the  dog  Maloch 
that  was  formerly  in  San  Francisco. 

A  letter  from  Los  Angeles  informs  us  that  the  specials  are 
already  pouring  in  and  the  list  offered  this  year  by  the  South- 
ern Club  promises  to  be  much  more  attractive  than  ever  be- 
fore. 


The  pointer  Hempstead  Lnck  (Duke  of  Hessen — Woolton 
Game)  has  been  matched  against  Chancellor  (Lad  of  Kent — 
Lass  of  Kent)  for  $200.  Mr.  John  Davidson  will  judge  the 
match  during  the  first  week  in  May. 

The  Boston  and  New  York  shows  are  under  the  control  of 
a  superintendent  who  takes  charge  of  the  show  several  weeks 
before  it  opens.  This  plan  is  a  pronounced  success  in  the 
East  and  if  the  right  man  could  be  found  will  unquestionably 
prove  a  success  out  here. 

The  Eoglish  prize  winner,  the  mastiff  bitch  Brampton 
Beautv,  will,  according  to  the  Forest  and  Stream,  enter  the 
kennels  of  W.  L.  Wiuchell  at  Fairhaven,  Vt.  With  Beau- 
fort's Black  Prince  and  Brampton  Beauty  Mr.  Wiuchell  will 
have  a  team  that  will  prove  extremely  hard  to  beat. 

It  is  not  likely  that  the  Interstate  Coursing  Club's  annual 
meeting  at  Merced  on  February  22d  nest  will  briog  out  many 
Eastern  dogs.  The  Altcar  Coursing  Club  will  hold  a  meet  at 
Goodland.  Kansas,  on  February  20th  that  will  absorb  the  at- 
tention of  our  Eastern  friends  of  the  leash  at  that  time. 


The    Merced    Coursing    Meeting. 

There  is  considerable  enthusiasm  among  the  leashmen  all 
through  the  State  just  now  over  the  approaching  meeting  at 
Merced.  Of  course  all  the  great  dogs  in  the  State  will  be 
entered  and  at  least  sixty -four  dogs  are  sure  to  go  to  slips  on 
the  occasion. 

The  stakes  are  liberal,  and  a  large  proportion  of  the  dogs 
can  win  money.  No  meeting,  wherever  held,  has  so  much 
interest  for  the  dog  men  as  the  Merced  meet.  The  almost  un- 
bounded stretches  of  country  and  the  wonderful  running 
capacity  of  the  hares  that  are  met  on  the.  celebrated  plain 
gives  that  zest  to  the  sport  that  cannot  be  equaled  by  any  en- 
closed coursing  however  successful.  It  is  for  this  reason  that 
there  is  an  ever-increasing  desire  on  the  part  of  sportsmen  of 
the  leash  for  a  couple  of  days  with  thetr  dogs  amid  the  wide- 
spreading  and  beautiful  expanse  of  country  which  is  unsur- 
passed in  the  world  for  coursing  purposes. 

Nominations  for  each  dog  is  ?10  and  must  be  in  the  hands 
of  the  secretary,  J.  R.  Dickson,  on  or  before  8  o'clock  on 
Monday  evening,  February  19,  1S94. 

The  purse  this  year  will  be  first,  $300  ;  second,  $150;  third 
and  fourth  each  $30,  and  dogs  winning  two  courses  $10  each. 
The  programme  for  the  forthcoming  event  will  be  issued 
during  the  week,  and  will,  as  usual,  be  found  most  liberal, 
giving  such  prizes  as  will  well  repay  the  successful  man  for 
whatever  trouble  or  expense  he  may  incur  in  getting  his  dogs 
ready  for  the  great  event. 

It  is  fully  expected  that  sixty-four  dogs  will  be  nominated, 
and,  of  course,  the  pick  of  all  the  kennels  in  the  State  will  be 
sure  to  go  to  slips. 

Since  the  last  meeting  at  Merced  some  excellent  young  dogs 
have  come  to  the  front,  and  besides  beiog  of  exceptionally 
good  breeding.  Many  of  those  that  have  earned  high  honors 
at  Merced  and  other  places  in  the  past,  will  have  no  common 
lot  to  contend  with.  It  behooves  the  owners  of  the  great  per- 
formers of  the  last  few  years  to  see  to  it  that  their  great  ones 
are  made  perfectly  fit  for  the  ordeal  before  them.  If  they  are 
beaten  they  will  not  fall  with  disgrace  if  this  advice  will  be 
heeded,  but  will  only  go  down  before  genuine  worth  and  the 
inevitable  superiority  which  youth,  breeding  and  good  train- 
ing give  to  both  man  and  beast. 

It  is  understood  by  the  leashmen  of  the  city  that  some  of 
the  southern  men  have  several  £ood  dogs  in  keeping  for  this 
event,  and  that  considerable  money  will  follow  them  to  Mer- 
ced. It  is  to  be  hoped  that  this  idea  is  a  correct  one,  and  the 
gentlemen  from  the  southern  portion  of  the  State,  or  indeed 
from  anv  place,  so  far  as  that  goes,  will  meet  with  ready  re- 
sponse and  perfect  fair  play.  They  can  rest  assured  that  if 
they  have  the  best  dogs  they  will  take  both  honors  and  money 
back  with  them.  Mr.  Grace  will  judge  the  meeting  and  Mr. 
Wren  will  do  the  slipping.

If  you  observe  your  puppy  vomiting  large  round  worms, 
and  he  is  apparently  well  and  you  do  not  care  to  subject  him 
to  "worm  treatment,"  give  him  three  drops  of  the  following 
mixture,  every  three  hours  :  Tincture  of  iodine,  one-half  tea- 
spoooful;  water,  two-teaspoonfuls.  Pot  each  dose  into  a  tea- 
spoonful  of  Bweetened  water. — Fanciers'  Journal. 

The  Toronto  Globe  remarks  that  but  two  white  cockers 
have  been  bred  in  the  Provinces.  S.  R.  Hemenway,  the 
former  president  of  the  American  Spaniel  Club,  bred  Miss 
Nance  to  a  full  brother  and  she  produced,  while  in  the  writ- 
er's possession,  two  pure  white  pups.  Dr.  A.  C.  Davenport 
also  bred  one  recently  and  his  bitch  Senora,  a  red,  whelped  a 
while  one  just  before  she  died.  Unfortunately  all  of  these 
that  we  speak  of  died  when  young. 

How  many  of  our  local  Great  Danes  of  the  heavy  English 
mastiff  type  can  equal  the  following  in  activity.  Since  our 
advent  on  this  Coast,  three  years,  we  have  been  continually 
hammering  at  the  Great  Dane  breeders  of  this  Coast  on  the 
question  of  type.  Mr.  Borglum's  entries  at  last  year's  show 
were  the  first  seen  here  of  the  proper  type,  but  they  were  too 
small.  Such  a  dog  as  the  Kennel,  Farm  and  Poultry  Yard 
Bpeaks  of  must  of  necessity  have  been  of  the  lighter  type. 
We  quote  as  follows  :  "Mr.  M'Carthy's  new  acquisition,  Don 
Ccesar  by  name,  is  two  years  old,  and  stands  thirty  inches  at 
shoulder,  yet  he  is  so  agile  as  to  clear  a  six-foot  hurdle  with 
the  greatest  ease.  When  in  County  Cork  last  week  he  coursed 
an  inland  hare,  and  gave  puss  three  turns  in  the  country  of 
the  Midleton  Coursing  CluVj — accidentally,  of  course.  It  would 
be  impossible  to  find  a  corkier  or  a  racier  Dane."  The  Field 
adds:  "We  have  often  seen  Champion  Melac  jump  in  and 
out  of  the  rings  at  bench  shows — the  fence  being  about  four 
and  a  half  feet  in  height,  and  he  always 'topped' it — and 
thought  it  a  capital  performance  for  a  dog  of  his  size  and 
weight,  but  here  is  one  that  can  'clear'  a  hurdle  six  feet  high 
(an  uncommonly  high  hurdle)  or  do  a  little  coursing  when 

the  occasion  offers."

As  requested  in  your  favor  of  the  19th,  says  Honest  John 
Davidson  in  Fanciers'  Journal,  I  herewith  give  you  briefly 
my  views  of  what  a  field  trial  dog  should  be.  Contrary  to  an 
often  expressed  opinion  that  a  dog  may  be  a  good  gentleman's 
shooting  dog  but  not  a  field  trial  dog,  I  contend  that  the  best 
gentleman's  shooting  dog  is,or  ought  to  be,  the  best  field  trial 
dog,  as  possessing  the  highest  qualifications  for  the  successful 
pursuit  and  capture  of  game.  The  object  of  using  pointers 
and  setters  in  the  field  is  to  find  and  point  game  In  this 
age  of  strife,  when  every  person  is  trying  to  get  the  most  out 
of  the  least,  the  dog  that  can  get  the  most  points  in  the  short- 
est time,  in  the  smallest  area,  must  certainly,  if  under  proper 
control  and  is  a  cheerful  worker,  be  the  most  desirable.  The 
fastest  systematic  ranger,  if  equal  in  other  qualities,  must  al- 
ways win  in  a  field  trial,  simply  because  he  gets  there  first. 

A  dog  possessing  the  speed  of  the  wind,  the  dash  of  a  lion, 
the  style  of  a  dude  or  the  staying  qualities  of  time,  without  a 
reasonable  amount  of  intelligence  and  a  fair  nose  is  not  a 
desirable  shooting  companion.  While  very  pretty  to  watch 
cutting  out  afield,  it  is  of  no  more  use  than  a  table  full  of 
empty  dishes  to  a  hungry  shooter.  In  a  very  long  and  large 
experience,  alone  and  with  others  in  the  field,  however  opin- 
ions might  differ  in  the  early  forenoon,  there  was  only  one 
opinion  in  the  evening,  and  that  was  the  best  dog  was  the 
one  which  had  afforded  the  most  sport,  and  this  dog  was 
invariably  the  one  which  best  adapted  hiniseif  to  the  require- 
ments of  the  shooter,  and  the  country  shot  over,  by  ranging 
wide  and  fast  or  close  and  active  as  needed,  with  the  least 
possible  noise  or  interference,  always  keeping  in  front  of  or 
well  up  with  the  shooter,  and  observing  his  direction.  Even 
in  cover,  when  such  a  dog  don't  show  up  frequently,  he  can 
be  easily  located  from  a  knowledge  of  where  he  ought  to  be 
when  pointing. 

With  shooting  companions,  also,  I  have  observed  the  most 
pleasant  evenings  always  fo1  lowed  the  most  successful  days  in 
the  field,  when  the  events  of  the  day  were  rehearsed  and  the 
remarkable  find  made  by  such  and  such,  after  an  industrious 
search,  expatiated  on.  when  the  blasted  wind-splitter  came 
with  such  a  rush  and  went  into  them  like  a  falcon,  scattering 
them  in  every  direction,  undoing  in  an  instant  for  another 
what  he  himself  bad  not  accomplished  all  day.  After  being 
secured,*aod  the  birds  allowed  to  move  a  little,  how  nicely  he 
picked  them  up  with  No.  1,  how  stealthily  he  roaded  and 
located  this  one,  and  then  how  quickly  he  snapped  into  the 
poiut  on  the  one  in  the  tuft  of  grass.  No  Xo.  12  boots  needed 
to  flush  singles  for  that  dog ;  he  locates  them  himself,  and 
there  is  no  time  wasted  in  tramping  over  an  acre  of  ground 
to  flush  the  bird  possibly  he  has  not  pointed.  The  dog  com- 
bining the  greatest  qualifications  as  a  gentleman's  companion 
in  the  field  I  would  consider  the  proper  field  trial  dog.,  and 
no  other ;  the  one  that  takes  its  own  course  and  goes  where  it 
pleases,  without  regard  to  anybody  I  would  think  of  little 
value  where  sport  was  the  object.

The  German  army  now  has  trained  war  dogs.  On  the 
march  each  dog  is  led  by  his  master  and  is  required  to  carry 
a  heavy  pack  on  his  back.  Dogs  of  a  dark  color  are  pre- 
ferred because  they  are  less  visible  to  the  enemy.  The  train- 
ing is  pursued  on  the  general  principle  that  the  dog  would 
be  treated  very  cruelly  by  ao  enemy,  so  that  the  creature  is 
taught  to  creep  round  the  foe  unnoticed  and  to  give  distinct 
warning  of  a  hostile  approach  without  bringing  itself  into 
notice.  For  instance,  in  Germany  training  process  some  of 
the  soldiers  put  on  French  and  Russian  uniforms  to  represent 
the  enemy.  This  arrangement,  hy  the  by.  suggests  the  idea 
that  the  Germans  have  quite  made  up  their  mind  whom  they 
are  going  to  fight  when  the  great  war  does  come. 


SALINAS,  Jan.  16. — The  eleventh  annual  field  trials  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Field  Trial  Club  were  held  at  Salinas  this  week. 
While  the  starters  were  few  in  number  the  usual  good  fellow- 
ship prevailed  and  in  spite  of  the  rain  the  trials  were  fairly 
successful.  R.  T.  Vandevoit  and  D.  M.  Pyle,  two  of  the 
chosen  judges,  were  unavoidably  absent  and  Andrew  Jackson 
and  C.  N.  Post  were  elected  to  fill  the  vacancy,  with  J.  M. 
Kilgarilf  as  alternate  judge.  Messrs.  J.  G.  Edwards,  the 
president  of  the  club,  J.  M.  Kilgariif,  secretary,  P.  D.  Lin- 
ville,  Win.  Dormer,  C.  A.  Haight,  Thos.  Higgs,  Crittenden 
Robinson,  E.  T.  Allen  and  wife,  A.  Russell  Crowell,  Captain 
A.  E.  Magill  and  H.  P.  Payne,  of  San  Francisco,  N.  E. 
White,  of  Sacramento,  John  Hughes,  of  Capay  Valley,  and 
E.  W.  Clayton,  of  San  Jose,  arrived  at  Salinas  on  Sunday 
noon  and  in  the  afternoon  the  entire  party  drove  out  to  the 
field  trial  grounds  and  found  quite  a  number  of  birds,  return- 
ing at  dusk  to  partake  of  a  bull's-heal-dinner  provided  for 
the  club  by  Mr.  Roadhouse,  a  member  of  the  Salinas  Rod  and 
Gun  Club. 

On  Sunday  night  it  began  to  rain  and  all  day  Monday  it 
rained  in  torrents.  The  party  amused  themselves  as  best  they 
could  about  the  excellent  hotel  of  G.  Lapierre,  The  New 
Abbott  House.  Mr.  J.  W.  Tholcke,  a  member  of  the  Salinas 
Club,  anchored  a  decoy  duck  in  one  of  the  poods  on  the  street 
and  posted  a  sign  near  by  on  which  was  painted  the  words  : 
"  No  shooting  on  these  premises,"  and  in  like  manner  the 
time  was  passed  very  pleasantly,  in  spile  of  the  rain. 

On  Monday  the  party  was  augmented  by  the  arrival  of 
Judge  C.  M.  Post,  of  Sacramento,  R.  M.  Dodge  and  W.  H. 
Bryan,  of  Suisun,  and  J.  M.  Bassford,  of  Vacaville.  On  Mon- 
day evening  the  Derby  was  drawn  and  the  substitute  judges 
selected. 

So  much  has  been  said  about  the  nature  of  these  grouods 
that  a  few  facts  concerning  them  will  be  appreciated  by  those 
not  able  to  attend.  On  the  whole,  we  do  not  like  the  grounds 
as  well  as  those  at  Bakersfield.  There  is  too  much  brush. 
About  one-half  of  the  portion  of  the20,000  acres  that  we  went 
over  is  unfit  for  field  trial  purposes,  the  other  half  is  excel- 
lentground.  When  we  were  lucky  enough  to  catch  the  birds 
on  the  latter  portion,  one  could  not  a*k  for  better  work,  but 
t'.o  frequently  we  could  not  find  the  birds  just  where  we 
wanted  them.  After  the  trials  are  finished  and  we  have  seen 
more  of  the  grounds  we  will  have  more  to  say  on  this 
question. 

We  cannot  write  euough  praises  for  the  Salinas  Rod  and 
Gun  Club  and  the  towns  people  in  general.  Absolutely  noth 
;  iug  was  left  undone  and  the  programme  of  entertainment  was 
carried  out  to  the  letter.  On  Sunday  evening  we  were  given 
a  bull's-head-dinner.  On  Monday  for  the  entire  day  and 
most  of  the  night  we  were  royally  entertained  by  Mr.  C.  Z. 
Heberl,  Judge  Dorn,  Mr.  Bullene  and  others.  On  Tuesday 
night  a  musical  festival  was  given  to  the  Field  Trial  Club 
and  the  visitors  by  the  Gun  Club,  the  Salinas  Band  providing 
the  music.     On  Friday  night  a  ball  will  be  given. 

Mr.  C.  Lapierre,  the  proprietor  of  the  New  Abbott  House, 
deserves  especial  mention.  His  house  is  one  of  the  neatest 
and  best  in  California.  The  rates  are  very  reasonable,  the 
cuisine  excellent  and  the  attendance  the  most  accommodating 
of  any  we  have  ever  seen. 
The  light  attendance  to  the  trials  andtheexceedingly  small 
!  number  of  starters  is  very  much  to  be  regretted,  not  only  for 
the  best  interest  of  a  noble  sport  but  out  of  compliment  to  the 
whole-souled  sportsmen  of  Salinas.  Their  efforts  should  have 
been  rewarded  by  both  large  entries  and  large  attendance. 

The  rigs  sent  out  by  the  livery  men  were  far  in  advance  of 
anything  we  ever  got  at  Bakersfield  and  at  cheaper  rates.  Mr. 
A.  F.  Bullene,  of  the  City  stables,  deserves  especial  credit  for 
his  endeavors  to  accommodate  his  patrons.  Nee  Uess  to  add 
he  is  a  member  of  the  Salinas  Gun  Club  and  a  sportsman 
himself. 

The  arrivals  on  Tuesday  wereH.  J.  Kilgariff,of  Sacramento, 
Att'y  Geu'l  W.  H.  H.  Hart,  Robert  Liddle,  Andrew  Jackson, 
of  Napa  Soda  fame,  David  Thorn  and  W.  H.  Shockley. 

THE  DERBY. 

Salinas,  Tuesday,  January  16. — This  morning  a  sharp 
shower  delayed  the  start  for  the  grounds  until  nearly  ten 
o'clock,  and  then,  through  a  misunderstanding,  the  party, 
about  thirty-five  in  number,  drove  to  the  grounds  by  a  very 
roundabout  way  and  did  not  reach  the  field  trial  ground  until 
nearly  one  o'clock.  J.  M.  Kilgariti  acting  as  judge  in  the  ab- 
sence of  Mr.  Jackson. 

The  first  brace,  Crittenden  Robinson's  black  pointer  dog 
Rex  and  A.  P.  Kerckhofi's  English  setter  dog  Mercury  were 
put  down  at  1:05  near  a  thicket,  Rex  handled  by  owner,  Mer- 
cury by  D.  M.  Walters.  Mercury  showed  the  best  pace  and 
range  throughout  the  heat,  but  the  brush  was  too  high  and 
too  thick  for  a  satisfactory  heat-  The  judges  lost  Mr.  Robin- 
son several  times  in  the  thickets.  After  being  down  forty 
minutes  Mercury  pointed  staunchly,  and  a  small  bevy  of 
birds  flushed  wild.  Quite  a  number  of  birds  were  found, 
but  it  was  impossible  to  work  them.  At  2:10  the  dogs 
were  ordered  up,  and  after  a  short  drive  were  put  down 
again  at  2:l~>.  Mercury  immediately  located  a  covey  in 
low  brush,  Rex  catching  wind  of  the  same  bunch  a  mo- 
ment later  pointed  also.  Birds  flushed  wild  and  flew  into 
a  thicket.  Moved  on  a  short  distance,  Mercury  pointed 
again  in  cover  waist  high,  but  no  birds  could  be  found. 
At  2:47  the  dogs  were  ordered  up  for  water.  When  put 
down  again  quite  a  number  of  scattered  birds  were  found, 
but  neither  dog  could  catch  scent,  though  they  kept  flush- 
ing very  near  them.  About  five  minutes  later  Mercury 
pointed  a  single  staunchly  and  Walters  shot  and  killed. 
The  dogs  were  then  ordered  up  and  Mercury  was  given 
the  heat.  Down  one  hour  and  fifiy-seveu  minutes.  Mer- 
cury beat  Rex  in  style,  speed,  ran>;e  and  nose.  Bex 
ppraiued  bis  ankle  several  days  ago,  and  both  before  and 
after  the  heat  was  hopping  around  on  three  legs.  Many  of

he   showed    his   gameness    and    sportsmanship    by  staying 
with  it. 

The  next  brace  down  were  .1.   M.  Bassford's  pointer  bitch 
Adelia,  handled  by   (.'has    Stubjan.s  and    W.   i  i.  fCerckhofl's

instantly   at  command.     Walters  pJiot  to  make

od  a  short  distance,  Betsy  pointed  again  staunchly.  Adelia, 
when  called  np,  refused  to  hack.  No  bird  could  be  found, 
but  it  had  had  ample  lime  to  run  a  hundred  yards.  Adelia 
next  found  a  single,  and  was  staunch  to  point.  Studarus  shot 
and  killed.  Betsy,  when  called  up  to  back,  walked  all  around 
the  pointer  and  around  the  bush  where  the  bird  was  lying, 
and  then  made  an  indiflerent  point  on  the  opposite  side  of 
the  bush.  Ordered  up  for  water  at  3:53.  Put  downat  once. 
Betsy  pointed,  but  no  birds  were  found.  After  moving  on  a 
few  rods  Betsy  pointed  a  single  staunchly  and  Adelia  backed, 
but  broke  back.  Ordered  up  at  4:03  ;  down  two  hours,  Betsy 
Mark  winning. 

Mercury  and  Betsy  Mark  were  put  down  at  4:07  to  decide 
first  prize.  Betsy  much  the  fastest,  the  better  ranger  and  more 
stylish.  After  an  hour's  hunting  without  result  Betsy  sud- 
denly wheeled  to  a  staunch  point  when  running  full  lilt; 
Mercury  backed  nicely.  A  single  flushed.  A  very  pretty 
piece  of  work  followed.  We  were  just  starting  dowo  a  little 
hollow  when  both  dogs  froze  to  separate  singles  not  five  rods 
apart,  and  held  to  point  nicely.  Mercury's  bird  flushed  wild 
and  he  was  called  to  back,  and  just  stopped  to  back  as  the 
bird  flushed.  When  moved  on  a  hundred  yards  Betsy  pointed 
again  and  Mercury  backed.  Ordered  up  at  5  P.  M.;  down 
fifty-three  minutes,  Betsy  winuing  the  heat  and  first  money. 


Salinas,  Janury  17. — The  party  started  from  town  for  the 
field  trial  grounds  shortly  after  9  o'clock.  Everyone  was 
ready  at  eight,  but  it  was  reported  that  the  river  was  rising 
and  that  it  would  be  dangerous  to  cross,  and  the  delay  was 
unavoidable.  The  river  had  not  risen  perceptibly,  and  the 
entire  party,  about  seventy-five  people,  crossed  without  acci- 
dent.   Judges — Dormer,  Post  and  Andrew  Jackson. 

The  first  brace  put  down  were  Mercury  and  Adelia,  to 
decide  second  money  in  the  Derby.  They  were  put  down  on 
good  ground  at  10:50,  but  the  birds  flushed  to  heavy  brush 
land  and  were  followed.  Mercury  soon  located  a  covey  and 
Adelia  backed.  The  covev  ran  and  Mercury  roaded  nicely 
and  pointed  again  ;  the  birds  flushed,  and  when  the  dogs  were 
sent  on  a^ain  Adelia  pointed  a  single,  quickly  following 
another  single.  Bird  flushed  by  handler,  then  both  Mercury 
and  Adelia  pointed  single  birds.  Then  Adelia  made  another 
staunch  point,  but  no  bird  could  be  found.  Mercury  pointed 
soon  after  in  low  brush,  but  no  bird  could  be  found.  Dogs 
ordered  up  at  11:45  after  being  down  nearly  an  hour.  Mer- 
cury is  much  the  best  in  style,  pace  and  range.  Adelia  works 
too  close  to  her  handler,  seldom  getting  out  and  hunting  in- 
dependently. Mercury  won  the  heat  and  second  money  ; 
Rex  and  Adelia  divided  third  without  running.

almost  immediately.  Lueinda,  when  called  up  to  back,  re- 
fused, ran  in  ahead  of  Betsy  and  failed  to  point,  Betsy  per- 
fectly steady.  The  bird  flashed  and  Walters  shot  and  killed. 
Belsy  Mark  retrieved,  but  was  quite  a  while  finding. 
Lucinda  showed  a  goi-d  pace  from  the  start,  but  Betsy  is  re- 
markable in  this  respect.  Ordered  up  at  12:30  for  water  and 
put  down  again  almost  immediately.  Splendid  grounds,  but 
for  some  time  no  bird  could  be  found.  Betsy  located  a  bird 
in  short  cover  and  soon  after  Lucinda  pointed  in  same  spot, 
but  broke  point ;  no  bird  could  be  fouod  at  the  time,  but  im- 
mediately after  a  single  bird  flushed  from  the  same  bush. 
After  moving  on  sime  distance  Scudarus  marked  down  a 
covey.and  the  dogs  were  sent  in  that  direction.  Betsy  pointed 
and  roaded,  but  Walters  called  her  away.  Moved  on  a  few 
rods  Betsy  pointed  again.  Then  Lucinda  pointed,  and  then 
Betay  aeain,  but  no  birds  were  flushed.  Betsy  then  drew  to 
a  staunch  point  on  three  birds.  Lucinda,  when  called  to 
back,  made  a  very  pretty  back  and  about  fifteen  yards. 
When  moved  on  a  few  rods  Belsy  located  another  single. 
Down  one  hour  and  three  minutes.  Belsy  won.  She  u  the 
best  in  style,  pace  and  range. 

The  prettiest  heat  of"  the  day  was   between   H.  T.  Payne's 
lemon  and  white  English  setter  bitch  Co  unless)  Noble,  handled 
bv  D.  M.  Walters,  anil  J.  M.  Bassford's  liver  and  white  pointer 
dog  Tommy  Tickler,  haudled   by  Wm.  DeMotte.     They  were 
put  down  in    fair  cover,  but  sooq  worked    into  high    brush. 
The  way  these Iwo  dogs  worked  in  the  almost   impenetrable 
brush  was  a   sight  to   gladden    the  heart  of  any  sportsman. 
They  were  very  evenly   matched,  and  the   heat  was  about  as 
close  a  race  as  was  ever  run.  Countess  is  the  more  obedient  of 
the  two.     In  rangethey  are  just  aboutequal.  In  place  Tommy 
had  quite  a  bit  the  best  of  it,  and  in  style  he  certainly  leads, 
althoueh  Countess  is  a  stylish,  "snappy  "bitch.  Countess  was 
the  first  to  point.  It  was  in  brush  waist  high,  and  no  one  but 
Judge  Post  and  the  Iwo  reporters  on  horseback  saw  the  point. 
Tommy  was  shortly  afterwards  lost,  and  found  in  brush  oo  a 
staunch  point  by  Mr.  Linville,  who  nearly  ran  over  hira  with 
his  horse.  De  Motte  shot  and  supposedly  missed,  but  Countess 
drew  to  point,  and  Tommy  backed.     \h-  Moite'sdead  bird  was 
found.     As  it  was  fouod   impracticable   to  work   the  dogs  in 
Hin.h    heavy  brush    the   dog*  were  ordered    up  at  2:15,  and  a 
move  wa.^  made  for  bftler   grounds.     At    2: 10  the   dogs  were 
again  put  down  in  the  best  country  that  ever  a    trial  was  run 
on.     Short   gage  brash  and  low  cover,  a  rolling  plain  where 
fverynne  could  see  the  work  and  the  teams  could  drive  over 
Avery  loch  <>f  it    without  inconvenience.    Countess   made  a 
i"t  and  located  a  large  covey;  her  roading  on  this  ocea- 
ns a  lM*auiiful  sight.  -She  must  have  roaded  in  a  crawling 
attitude  for  nearly  100 yards.  Tomwas called  upby  handler.and 
<  >vey,  was  first  to  point,  immediately  followed  by 
>*      A  large   number  <>(    birds  Hushed    wild.     When 
rnmy  pointed  and  Counter  backed.     Moved  on 
uimy  pointed  a  single.     De  Motte  tired  and 
■  :rd  fell  a  long  way  otT.     At  the  shot  Tommy 
In,  Lo]  ped  instantly  at  command,  as  Judge  Post 


made  the  statement  that  he  "brokeshot,"  and  this  error  un- 
questionably defeated  the  dog.  We  will  explain  the  matter 
fully.  Judge  Post  used  the  wrong  term  and  "acknowledged 
the  corn."  He  positively  did  break  in.  The  rules  of  this 
club  regarding  these  two  terms  are  as  follows:  "Breaking  in" 
is  when  a  dog,  through  imperfect  breaking,  or  from  excite- 
ment, leaves  his  position  when  the  birds  rise,  whether  the 
gun  is  fired  or  not,  and  starts  lo  break  short  or  chase,  but  stops 
within  a  few  feet  of  the  point  from  which  he  started,  of  Lis 
own  accord  or  by  command." 

"  Breaking  shot  is  when  a  dog  runs  in  when  a  shot  is  fired 
or  not,  with  the   intention  of  getting  the  bird,  and  does  not 
|  stop  prompt  at  command." 

Judge   Post   and  the  writer   were   the   only  persons  near 

!  enough  to  Tommy  to  be  positive  regarding  this  fact.     Both 

!  declare  that  the  dog  started  to  break  but  stopped  at  command 

\  before  he  had  gone  two  yards.    After  a  short  cast  Tommy 

[  pointed  another  siugle  and  De  Motte   shot  and   killed,  but 

j  Tommy  could  not  find  it — possibly  a  runner,  though  it  looked 

i  like  a  very  dead  bird  when  it  fell.     Countess   next  pointed  a 

small  bevy  and  Walters  shot  and  killed.    Countess  retreived 

quickly  and  well.     Ordered  up  at  3:25.     Countess  won.    The 

judges  gave  Countess  credit  for  another  point,  made  iu  the 

swale,  but  as  we  dii    not  see  it,  could   not  describe  it.     This 

made  the  pair  even  on  the  number  of  points.    The  score 

stood  76  to  76,  but  Tommy's  demerits  of  three  left  the  score 

76  to  73  in  favor  of  Countess.  Tommy  Tickler  is  unqueslion- 

tionably  the  fastest  and  widest  ranging  pointer  we  have  ever 

seen  run  at  a  trial,  but  he  must  be   under  better  control   to 

make  him  a  sure  winner.

0ut  of  the  Log  Into  the  Dog. 


A  Review  of  the  Eastern  Field  Trials. 


In  the  past  year,  although  a  large  number  of  field  trials 
that  were  to  have  been  held  have  been  postponed,  in  some 
cases  from  a  lack  of  entries,  in  others  from  a  scarcity  of  birds, 
etc.,  quite  a  number  of  good  meetings  have  been  held.  In 
fact,  the  clubs  that  have  run  trials  have  generally  been  fortu- 
nate in  getting  fair  entries  and  have  held  successful  meetings. 

The  first  trials  of  the  season  were  held  in  Manitoba  and  run 
on  prairie  chickens,  the  Northwestern  Club  commencing  their 
trials  on  September  4th,  and  the  Manitoba  Club  the  week  fol- 
lowing. Both  clubs  had  a  very  good  entry,  when  it  is  taken 
into  consideration  that  the  location  is  so  great  a  distance  from 
the  most  prominent  kennels  that  are  breeding  and  bringing 
out  field  trial  dogs. 

There  was  a  good  gathering  of  sportsmen  at  both  meetings, 
and  it  is  now  an  established  fact  that  successful  trials  can  be 
held  in  that  part  of  the  country,  and  there  is  no  doubt  but 
that  the  interest  in  these  events  is  on  the  increase  in  the 
Northwest,  and  that  another  season  will  bring  out  a  larger  en- 
try and  an  increased  number  of  good  dogs.  The  sportsmeu  of 
that  section  are  in  earnest  and  enthusiastic,  and  the  trials  are 
fast  bringing  about  the  result  desired  by  the  clubs,  which  is  to 
give  the  members  and  local  sportsmen  an  opportunity  to  learn 
which  are  the  best  strains  of  pointers  and  setters,  and  to  pro- 
cure stock  that  can  hold  its  own  in  the  strongest  competition. 

In  our  report  of  the  Manitoba  trials  we  stated  that  the  trials 
were  the  best  ever  run  on  prairie  chickens.  The  winners 
have  demonstrated  in  events  that  have  taken  place  since 
then  that  they  are  abundantly  able  to  hold  their  own  in  the 
hoLtest  company  that  could  be  brought  together  in  America. 
Count  Gladstone  IV,  the  winner  of  the  All-Age  Stake,  ran  at 
the  United  States  trials  two  months  later  and  ^as  unplaced, 
and  at  the  Eastern  trials  which  followed  he  divided  third 
with  Kent  Elgin  (pointer).  It  is  said  that  he  had  been  badly 
out  of  fix,  but  it  is  evident  that  he  was  getting  in  form  again, 
for  in  his  next  trial,  the  Eastern  Field  Trials  Club's  New 
Subscription  Stake,  he  won  well,  beating  Mr.  Lorillard's  Miss 
Ruby,  the  winner  of  the  All-Aged  Stake,  and  Topsy's  Rod, 
the  Derby  winner.  Hempstead  Duke  aod  Rtp  Rap  also  ran 
in  this  stake.  Chevalier,  which  ran  second  in  the  Manitoba 
trials,  won  the  All-Aged  Setter  Stake  of  the  Uniled 
States  trials  and  beat  Franklin,  the  winner  of  the 
Pointer  Stake,  in  the  heat  for  the  Absolute  winner  of  the 
trials.  Kent  Elgin,  who  ran  unplaced  in  the  Manitoba  trials, 
was  second  in  the  All-Aged  Pointer  Stake  of  the  United 
States  trials,  and  divided  third  with  Count  Gladstone  IV  in 
the  Eastern  All-Age  Stake.  The  Derby  winner  in  the  Mani- 
toba trials,  Topsy's  Rod,  ran  brilliantly  and  won  in  both  the 
Derbys  of  the  United  States  and  Eastern  Trials,  also 
finishing  second  to  Count  Gladstone  IV  in  the 
Subscriptiou  Stake  of  the  Eastern  Club.  He  was 
beaten  for  the  Absolute  at  the  United  States 
trials  by  the  Derby  winning  pointer,  Strideaway.  These  two 
young  dogs  are  considered  the  best  that  have  ever  come  out 
as  Derby  winners.  They  ran  very  evenly  in  their  heat  for 
the  Absolute,  and  the  result  made  but  little  difference  to  the 
admirers  of  the  setter,  for  his  very  consistent  and  brilliant 
work  in  all  of  his  trials  stamped  him  as  one  of  the  greatest 
field  trial  dogs  of  the  year.  Tate,  winner  of  second  in  the 
Manitoba  Club's  Derby,  rao  well  and  divided  third  money  in 
the  Eastern  Derby.  Franklin,  the  winning  pointer  at  the 
United  States  trials,  ran  well  in  all  of  his  h^ats  of  that  stake. 
He  made  a  good  race,  and  may  be  considered  one  of  the  good 
ones  of  the  year.  In  his  heat  for  the  Absolute  winner  he  was 
sick,  and  it  was  plain  that  he  could  not  be  expected  to  run  in 
the  same  form  as  in  his  previous  heats.  Kent  Elgin,  winner 
of  second,  is  a  dog  of  the  highest  quality,  and,  if  nothing  goes 
wrong  with  him,  will  be  one  of  the  hardest  dogs  to  beat  in 
some  of  our  future  trials.  He  has  evidently  been  accustomed 
to  having  his  own  way  previous  to  this  season's  work,  but 
improved  each  time  he  ran. 

In  the  setter  Darby  of  the  United  States  trials,  another 
good  one  turned  up  in  Daisy  Hunler  1 1.,  a  daughter  of  the 
well-known  winner  of  the  same  name.  She  promises  to  be  as 
good  as  her  dam.  Her  work  was  quite  brilliant,  and  in  this 
stake  she  made  a  good  6econd*to  Topsy's  Rod.  Allene.who  won 
second  to  her  in  the  Eastern  Derby,  is  also  worthy  of  mention. 
She  is  a  fast  and  wide  ranger,  and  at  the  same  time  obedient 
and  easily  handled,  and  is  an  excellent  perlormer  on  single 
birds.  The  all-aged  winner  in  the  Eastern  trials,  Miss  Ruby, 
made  a  favorable  impression  ;  her  work  was  clean  and  good 
in  each  of  her  heats.  She  has  good  pace  and  range,  and  is 
well  broken  and  obedient.  She  ran  well  in  the  new  Subscrip- 
tion Stake,  but  she  had  not  been  prepared  for  long  heats  and 
did  not  hold  her  pace  and  range.  It  is  to  be  hopod  that  the 
New  England  Field  Trial  Club  and  others  that  were  obliged 
to  postpone  their  trials  last  year  will  succeed  in  holding  them 
the  coming  season.  There  are  plenty  of  sportsmen  ffho  will 
make  entries  for  an  event  that  will  take  place  near  home,  but 
that  cannot  patronize  those  that  take  place  in  the  other  parts 
of  the  country.  With  the  above  club  the  only  difficulty  is  in 
the  supply  of  birds. — Turf,  Field  and  Farm. 


The  following  remarkable  incident  occurred  in  Smithfield 
Canyon  in  the  early  autumn  of  the  present  year,  and  while  it 
may  sound  "  fishy,"  the  truth  of  the  story  is  vouched  for  by 
three  young  men  whose  veracity  is  unquestioned  by  those 
who  know  them  :  My  brother  and  two  companions  were  in 
the  canyon  after  logs,  and  were  accompanied  by  a  large  dog, 
of  the  every-day  variety,  which  sooa  found  amusement  in 
barking  at  a  timber  squirrel  treed  by  him.  Fearing  the  dog 
would  injure  his  vocal  organs,  the  boys  decided  to  assist  in 
getting  the  squirrel  out  of  the  tree,  but  no  sooner  had  they 
succeeded  in  doing  this  than  the  little  fellow  took  refuge  in 
a  hollow  log  open  at  one  end.  At  this  aperture  the  dog  took 
up  his  position,  and  continued  his  noisy,  but  harmless  attack. 
One  of  the  boys,  with  axe  in  hand,  commenced  the  task  of 
cutting  the  log  in  two,  while  bis  companions  stood  in  full 
view  of  the  open  end  of  the  log,  which  was  not  much  larger 
than  the  dog's  wide,  gaping  mouth.  No  sooner  had  the  cut- 
ting commenced  than  the  squirrel,  becoming  alarmed, 
bounded  out  of  his  hiding  place  and  disappeared  down  the 
dog's  capacious  throat,  who  gave  two  or  three  convulsive 
gulps,  and  the  squirrel  was  no  more.  "  His  dogship"  showed 
no  signs  of  distress  after  partaking  of  his  unusual  dinner. — 
A.  H.  Woodruff  in  Forest  and  Stream. 


Jaundice,  or  the  Yellows. 


Jaundice,  or  as  it  is  popularly  known,  "  The  Yellows,"  is 
not  by  any  means  an  uncommon  complaint  among  dogs.  It  is 
caused  by  a  poisoning  of  the  blood  through  adisordered  liver, 
and,  as  its  name  implies,  its  presence  is  easily  detected  by  the 
yellowish  appearance  assumed  of  the  membranes  soon  after 
attack.  As  to  treatment,  very  little  can  be  done;  the  disease 
in  most  cases  proves  incurable.  The  best  thing  to  do  is  to 
feed  on  nourishing  soups  and  mucilaginous  vegetable  prepara- 
tions, gum  water,  arrow-root,  linseed  tea,  or  decoction  of 
quince  seeds,  to  sheathe  the  gastro-intestinal  mucous  mem- 
brane from  the  acrid  bile  poured  into  the  canal  in  the  early 
stages  Small  doses  of  sulphate  of  soda  are  given  to  assist  to 
free  the  bowel  from  acrid  bile,  the  kidoeys  incited  to  action 
by  small  deses  of  nitrate  of  potash,  and  fever  reduced  by  the 
administration  of  sweet  spiritof  nitre  as  a  febrifuge  and  su- 
dorific. Quinine  and  magnesia  are  useful  in  some  cases. —

Drs.  H.  A.  and  A.  F.  Spencer,  the  well-known  veterinary 
surgeons,  of  San  Jose,  are  the  recipients  of  one  of  the  finest 
fox  terrier  dogs  in  California.  He  is  from  the  kennels  of  Dr. 
Ward  B.  Rowland  of  Pasadena,  which  will  be  sufficient  guar- 
antee to  dog  fanciers  of  $is  perfection.  His  name  is  Punch, 
and  he  is  registered  in  the  Fox  Terrier  Register.  Punch  was 
whelped  March  S,  1S91.  His  sire  was  Dr;  Murry'sTobe  and 
his  dam  was  Dr.  W.  B.  Rowland's  Monte.  Tobe  was  bred  by 
he  noted  fox  terrier  fanciers,  Messrs.  Rutherford  of  New 
York,  and  Monte  was  bred  in  the  well  known  kennels  of 
George  W.  Bush  of  Wilmington,  Del.  An  extended  pedigree 
of  Punch  accompanied  him,  giving  the  generations.  The 
Drs.  Soencer  have  had  it  framed  and  it  hangs  in  their  office, 
where  those  interested  in  fine-bred  dogs  can  be  made  aware 
that  Punch  is  "  bred  in  the  purple." 

Judge  C.  N.  Post's  well-known  English  setter  Sportsman, 
by  Ch.  Gladstone — Sue,  died  Ia>t  week.  He  was  seven  years 
old,  and  was  not  only  a  grand  fielder,  but  a  most  excellent 
6ire.  He  was  the  sire  of  the  following  winners  on  this  coast : 
Sunlit,  first,  Derby  18SS  ;  third,  All  Age  1889,  and  first,  All 
Age  1S90,  and  Sirius,  second,  All  Age,  1889;  fourth,  All 
Age  1890. 

Whoever  instigated  that  "  rot"  that  was  published  in  the 
Morning  Call  of  January  17th  should  be  ostracized  by  all 
sportsmen.  The  trial  grounds  were  good,  birds  plentiful,  the 
accommodations  good,  and  a  more  geniai,  hospitable  lot  of 
sportsmen  than  the  Salinas  Rod  and  Gun  Club  never  lived. 
The  trials  were  not  a  failure  in  any  sense  of  the  word. 


Mr.  J.  M.  Kilgariff,  while  officiating  as  judge  of  the  Derby, 
was  swept  from  his  horse  by  an  oak  limb  and  considerably 
bruised,  but  not  badly  injured. 


The  Uncertainty  of  Breeding. 


About  forty  years  ago  the  Duke  of  Bedford,  then  a  staunch 
patron  of  the  turf,' was  also  an  extensive  breeder.  The  Duke 
kept  part  of  his  breeding  stud  at  Newmarket,  part  at  Oakley 
and  part  at  Woburo,  while  he  frequently  had  sires  of  his  own 
at  all  three  places.  All  yearlings  from  the  two  Bedfordshire 
studs  were  sent  to  Newmarket  in  September,  and  upon  the 
result  of  their  trials  depended  their  destiny. 

Among  the  number  who  were  reserved  until  the  Septem- 
ber of  their  three-year-old  career,  when  they  would  be  either 
broken  to  saddle  or  harness,  was  a  brown  filly  by  Plenipoten- 
tiary, out  of  Azora,  by  Voltaire.  This  filly  was  so  "down" 
behind  the  withers  as  to  be  hollow-backed  to  deformity,  had 
not,  on  this  account,  been  sent  to  Newmarket,  but  was  kept 
until  the  time  arrived  to  break  her  to  harness.  Leather, 
however,  was  nol  to  her  fancy,  and  although  unable  to  kick 
a  heavy  break  to  pieces,  she  refused  to  move,  and  the  attempt 
had  to  be  abandoned. 

It  was  eventually  decided  that  the  filly  should  be  given 
away,  but  one  of  the  boys  who  had  been  riding  her  at  exercise 
informed  the  stud  groom  that  she  was  able  to  move  smartly. 
This  was  received  with  incredulity.  When  tried,  however, 
she  cleaned  out  all  they  had  in  the  stable,  including  an  aged 
gelding  who  had  won  the  Liverpool  Cup.  The  Duke  would 
not  hear  of  a  four-year-old  being  sent  to  Newmarket,  but 
mated  her  with  the  only  stallion  who  was  standing  at  Wo- 
burn.  This  was  Tadmor,  who  had  run  third  to  "  The  Dutch- 
man" for  the  Derby.  The  result  of  this  union  was  a  filly, 
who,  under  the  name  of  Palm,  won  a  great  many  races  and 
matches.  Her  dam,  as  Fig  Tree,  was  afterwards  known  as 
the  dam  of  many  winners. 

On  the  death  of  the  Duke  of  Bedford  both  these  mares  be- 
came the  properly  of  the  Duke  of  Beaufort,  who  mated  Palm 
with  Muscovite,  which  union  produced  Vauban.  If  the 
Azora  filly  had  not  shown  such  an  unconquerable  aversion  to 
leather  this  race  of  equine  heroes  would  not  have  graced  the 
turf.

SPECIAL   DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH    CAIRN    SIMPSON. 


Baden-  Stock  Yards.— A  few  days  ago  I  visited  the 
Abbattoir  and  its  adjuncts  at  what  was  formerly  known  as 
Baden,  now  mapped  as  South  San  Francisco.  It  is  a  long 
time  since  a  similar  place  was  seen,  and  for  that  matter 
entirely  novel,  as  the  Chicago  establishments  of  like  charac- 
ter of  more  than  twenty  years  ago  were  nothing  as  complete 
as  this  on  the  west  shore  of  San  Francisco  Bay.  Brief  as  the 
atay  was,  a  passing  glance  and  then  on  to  the  next  depart- 
ment, it  was  sufficient  to  convince  one  that  it  was  destined  to 
be  of  great  importance  to  the  stock-breeding  interests  of  the 
coast.  To  ensure  this  it  is  only  necessary  to  call  attention  to 
the  greater  ecouomy  displayed  in  making  pro6table  use  of 
every  portion  of  the  animal,  thereby  effecting  a  saving,  over 
the  ordinary  methods,  sufficient  in  itself  to  ensure  a  return  of 
profit.  This  might  be  said  to  be  a  transitory  advantage,  inas- 
much as  when  inferior  systems  were  exploded  the  breeder 
would  be  at  the  mercy  of  a  monopoly  squeezing  him  to  the 
crushing  point.  This  is  not  lTkely  as  when  people  have  such 
an  immense  amount  at  stake,  as  that  which  has  been  invested 
in  that  one  institution,  conservatism  must  govern.  Once 
extortionate,  let  there  be  reasonable  grounds  for  the  belief 
that  when  opposition  was  overcome  there  would  be  an  eager 
desire  to  grasp  every  dollar  that  could  be  wrong  out  of  breed- 
ers, and  in  a  very  short  time  there  would  be  competitors,  and 
the  new  rivals  with  a  prestige  which  would  secure  the  busi- 
ness. Great  as  that  establishment  is,  so  thoroughly  equipped 
wilb  all  the  modern  inventions  to  facilitate  the  handling  and 
the  preservation  of  meats,  however  capable  the  force  of  over- 
seers and  workman,  it  could  not  long  retain  its  hold  without 
that  is  based  on  the  fair  principle  of  "  live  and  let  live."  All 
these  appliances  and  methods  are  subordinate  to  the  ethics  of 
fair  dealing.  The  big  establishment  says  to  breeders,  large  and 
small :  "  Here  is  an  enterprise  which  can  make  more  of  your 
products,  a  good  deal  nore,  than  has  been  accomplished  in 
the  past  or  can  be  under  the  old  system.  This  extra  return 
is  to  be  divided  between  those  who  prepare  the  product  and 
those  who  put  it  in  marketable  shape.  It  must  be  a  harmoni- 
ous partnership  to  be  effective.  We  depend  upon  you  for  the 
raw  material ;  you  upon  us  for  proper  handling  and  a  fair 
division  of  the  profits."  Dull,  indeed,  would  be  the  man  who 
did  not  recognize  the  intimate  relationship  between  the  parties 
to  the  agreement,  who  did  not  realize  the  benefits  which  must 
arise  from  the  association.  Not  merely  the  breeders  and 
handlers  who  are  interested ;  the  whole  of  the  California 
people  have  interests  at  stake.  Adding  so  much  to  the  wealth 
of  the  country,  for  no  one  of  the  least  penetration  can  avoid 
understanding  that  economy  in  this,  as  in  all  other  pursuits, 
is  tbe  road  to  wealth  ;  that  saving  and  turning  to  account 
what  has  formerly  been  thrown  away,  and  that  to  an  extent 
whi<*h  will  aggregate  a  large  yearly  sum,  is  as  much  an  addi 
tion  to  our  resources  as  the  discovery  of  a  gold  mine  of  equal 
capacity.  _ 

But  while  the  advantages  to  breeders  of  cattle,  sheep  and 
gwine  of  this  coast  struck  me  with  the  most  force  in  connec- 
tion with  the  visit,  to  make  that  as  apparent  to  those  who  do 
not  see  it  for  themselves  as  it  is  to  even  a  casual  visitor,  would 
require  long  descriptions  and  a  far  more  intimate  knowledge 
of  the  minutia  of  the  workings  than  I  possess.  One  goes 
through  the  various  departments  wilh  a  guide,  hurrying  from 
room  to  room,  from  the  top  story  to  the  basement,  and  there 
is  a  feeling  of  wonder,  unmitigated  surprise,  at  the  complete- 
ness of  the  whole,  lud  with  that  an  intuition  that  skill  and 
and  science  have  added  to  this  one  branch  of  rural  economy 
a  big  percentage.  .   . 

It  was  cattle-killine  day,  and  although  this  is  a  department 
that  I  would  just  as  soon  have  avoided,  it  was  no  small  grati- 
fication to  see  the  operations.  In  the  first  place  the  death  as 
painless  as  can  be  conceived.  The  executioner  is  on  an  ele- 
vation above  the  animal,  and  one  blow  of  the  sledge  ends  us 
life.  Standing  back  of  its  head,  if  the  swiftly  falling  mstru- 
of  death  is  seen  at  all,  the  instant  of  contact  endBall  sensa- 
tion. The  platform  on  which  the  body  falls  swings,  there  is 
an  aperture  through  which  it  is  slid;  the  nest  instant  it  is 
suspended  bv  the  gambrels,  bled  into  a  gutter  which  carries 
away  the  blood,  then  the  skinning  and  disembowelling  afte 
the  carcass  has  been  further  slipped  along  by  the  aid  of  roll- 
ers and  overhead  ways  to  the  places  where  that  is  performed. 
The  arrangement  admits  of  the  utmost  cleanliness,  though  in 
this  place  it  may  be  well  to  state  that  all  through  neatoess 
and  order  prevail.  And  that  to  an  extent  which  appears 
nearly  incredible,  as  every  nook  and  corner  of  that  vast  es- 
tablishment is  cleaned  with  such  scrupulous  nicety,  and  apart 
from  odors  which  are  inseparable  to  slaughtering,  and  these 
are  reduced  to  a  minimum,  there  is  nothing  to  offend  the 
most  fastidious. 

The  cold  storage  department  is  one  of  the  chief  attractions 
to  visitors.  Such  an  array  of  beef  hanging  in  halved  car- 
casses, so  that  there  is  just  room  to  pass  between  the  rows 
would  argue  that  the  citizens  of  San  Francisco  and  surrouod- 
ing  country  need  not  lack  for  this  prime  article  of  nutriment. 
It  speaks  well  for  California,  too,  as  there  were  specimens  of 
bullocks  which  must  have  weighed  over  2,500  pounds,  as  the 
dressed  weight  of  one  was  1,560,  and  several  others  not  far 
below  that  mark.  And  these  steers  were  only  stall  fed  a  short 
time  before  Christmas,  previous  to  that  their  feed  being  the 
native  grasses  of  California. 

But  to  one  who  is  familiar  with  wild-oats,  alfillenlla  and 
burr-clover,  the  wonder  is  not  so  great.  From  the  time  the 
feed  get3  good  in  the  spring  until  the  fall  rains  set  in  there  is 
an  increase  of  fattening  properties.  When  the  wild-oats  are 
in  the  milk  and  dough  they  are  extremely  nutritious,  and 
with  them  ripened  and  still 'clinging  to  the  busk,  the  burr- 
clover  capsules  fairly  covering  the  ground,  full  of  an  oleagi- 
nous substance,  the  stalks  cured  into  admirable  forage,  it  is 
Nature's  granary,  and,  when  not  overstocked,  with  full  bins 
and  bulky  mows. 

Some  people  profess  to  have  a  dread  of  meat  that  is  hung 
in  an  atmosphere  that  will  surely  act  as  a  guard  against  any 
tendency  to  decomposition  or  even  taint.   A  queer  idea  when 


honestly  entertained,  and  without  a  single  sensible  argument 
to  sustain  the  position.  If  even  the  animals  were  hung  in 
there  while  the  temperature  of  the  body  was  not  far  from 
blood  heat,  no  harm  could  follow,  but  in  the  virious  stages  of 
dressing  it  reaches  very  close  to  the  degree  of  the  surround- 
ing air,  and  as  the  thermometer  in  the  cold  storage  room 
marked  42  degrees  when  I  was  there,  it  is  far  above  the  freez- 
ing point.  But  what  convinced  me  the  most  fully  of  the  ef- 
ficacy of  tbe  method,  there  was  none  of  the  sceDt  of  a  mar- 
bet  where  fresh  meat  is  kept.  That  ^cent  is  peculiarly  dis- 
agreeable to  me,  and  I  never  step  into  one  without  there  is 
urgent  business,  and  while  in  the  slaughtering  area  was  quite 
squeamish,  the  transfer  lo  the  forty  degrees  Fahrenheit,  though 
surrounded  with  hundreds  of  carcasses,  overcame  the  feeling. 

According  to  the  reasoning  of  some  doctors,  which  I  read 
in  a  paper  a  short  time  ago,  cattle  should  not  be  killed  wheu 
the  temperature  is  as  low  as  eight  degrees  above  the  freezing 
point  as  in  that  case  the  natural  refrigeration  would  be  de- 
leterious. Too  nonsensical  a  theory  to  impose  on  anyone  who 
will  give  attention  to  the  subject,  and  if  that  is  the  only  ar- 
gument against  modern  methods  of  handling  beef  the  imposi- 
tion must  be  of  short  duration. 

Again  I  must  hark  back  to  the  features  which  impressed 
me  most  vividly  viz.,  the  thorough  organization,  the  exact 
discipline,  the  consummate  skill,  the  inventive  genius,  the 
adaptation  of  all  the  parts  of  the  immense  establishment  to 
make  the  most  of  the  raw  material,  and  while  accomplishing 
that  to  do  the  usual  work  in  a  better  manner  than  would  be 
possible  without  the  combination. 

So  far  as  this  branch  of  business  is  concerned  it  is  a  world 
within  itself,  and  not  a  small  one  at  that.  Alongside  of  the 
packing  department  is  a  tin  shop,  and  the  ice  manufactory  ad- 
joins the  engine  room  where  the  big  corliss  is  running  with 
the  smoothness  which  perfect  machinery  guarantees.  An 
attractive  place  is  the  engine  room.  One  does  not  require  a 
great  deal  of  imagination  to  associate  some  sort  of  life  with 
the  regular  movements,  every  part  so  neat  and  bright  and  the 
pipes  which  convey  the  freezing  fl  uid  frosted  so  admirably  that 
they  have  the  appearance  of  being  coated  by  some  skilful  art- 
ist to  beautify  the  place.  In  making  a  tourof  the  premises.a  per- 
son is  at  a  loss  to  know  where  tbe  waste  is.  Where  the  sewer 
debouches  in  the  bay  there  is  no  discoloration  of  the  water, 
no  grease  on  the  surface.  There  are  piles  of  bones  the  denser  ! 
by  themselves  for  shipment  to  Sheffield,  Eogland.  The 
skulls  and  inferior  to  be  ground  into  bone  dust,  hoofs  and 
horns  to  be  sent  to  Japan  and  China,  piths  of  horns  aud  other 
fragments  for  the  glue  factory,  the  blood  dessicated  and  sacked 
for  fertilization,  the  hair  drying  on  the  hillside,  order,  neat- 
ness, economy  everywhere 

It  was  a  bright  day  when  the  visit  to  South  San  Francisco 
was  made, a  "nipping  and  eager  air"  Californians  might  con- 
sider it  with  a  brisk  wind  from  the  northwest,  and  a  few 
fleecy  clouds  scurrying  across  the  sky.  But  exhilerating 
withal  and  when  my  companion  signified  his 
willingness  to  climb  the  bluff,  on  the  summit  of 
which  a  large  reservoir  has  been  built,  divested  of  over- 
coats, the  ascent  was  made  with  the  jabilant  feelings  of  boy- 
hood, and  well  repaid  for  tbe  climb,  and  the  ramble  among 
the  rocks  on  the  top  of  the  hill.  A  beautiful  view,  marine, 
mountain,  plain  and  valley.  There  is  an  arm  of  the  bay  form- 
ing a  cove,  to  the  north  of  which  is  the  reservoir  bluff.  The 
trend  of  the  cove  is  to  the  westward  the  valley  narro  ring 
towards  the  western  point.  The  Coast  range  cuts  off  the 
view  of  the  ocean,  and  there  are  farms  from  the  railway  track 
well  up  the  sides.  Oae  appears  to  be  located  on  table  land  at 
quite  an  elevation  above  the  valley,  and  in  the  distance  its 
white  buildings  and  fences  the  grouping  of  trees,  etc.,  make  it 
a  prominent  feature  of  tbe  landscape.  The  mountains  form 
a  segment  of  circle  and  the  basin  between  is  of  large  extent. 
Looking  from  the  point  of  vantage,  the  top  of  the  bluff  it 
seemed  as  though  there  were  many  admirable  locations  for  a 
race  course,  and  though  these  which  are  contiguous  to  the 
railway  may  be  in  the  sweep  of  the  western  winds,  that  is 
more  of  a  fancied  drawback  than  a  real  obstacle. 

Convenience  of  access  is  the  first  great  consideration,  and  a 
situation  which  offered  ''  rapid  transit "  far  preferable  to  one 
which  had  a  balmier  air  and  difficult  to  reach.  With  a 
course,  however,  which  could  be  occupied  for  a  series  of  years, 
the  breezy  discomforts  are  susceptible  of  amelioration,  in  time 
very  nearly  overcome.  In  the  first  place  by  buildings  and 
windbreaks  erected  on  the  windward  side,  trees  planted, 
which  in  this  climate  rapidly  grow  to  a  height  which  will 
afford  a  good  deal  of  protection.  In  my  opinion  if  breeziness 
is  the  only  drawback,  there  is  nothing  in  the  way  of  con- 
structing a  race  course  and  trotting  track  in  that  vicinity 
which  could  not  be  overcome.  The  prevalence  of  fog  is 
another  obstacle  which  it  is  asserted,  would  tell  seriously 
against  the  location,  and  that  is  not  so  easily  remedied  as 
stiff  breezes.  To  be  entirely  free  from  the  tribulations  of 
occasional  fog  banks  a  course  would  have  to  be  fixed  upon 
quite  a  distance  from  Golden  Gate,  and  as  every  additional 
mile  from  San  Francisco  means  a  decrease  of  attendance, 
better  to  put  up  with  some  inconveniences  than  a  reduc- 
ion  of  the  "dollars  at  the  gate."  I  must  admit  that  I  am 
more  favorably  impressed  with  that  as  a  location  for  a  race- 
course than  before  the  visit.  Not  that  there  is  any  necessity 
for  worriment  as  there  ;s  no  lack  of  suitable  places  in  the 
vicinity  of  San  Francisco,  and  when  the  time  comes  to  make 
the  selection  tbe  only  problem  to  6olve  :    Which  is  the  best  ? 

English  traioers  of  race  horses  extol  an  up-hill  gallop, 
and  with  good  reasons  ror  the  preference.  The  lungs  are 
exercised  without  so  much  danger  to  the  legs,  and  when 
the  expanding  fluid,  coming  fresh  from  the  grand  Pacific, 
gathering  ozone  in  its  long  journey,  aud  with  the  song  of 
the  "bounding  billows"  still  echoing  in  subdued  tones, 
there  is  an  exhilaration  of  spirits  if  even  respirations  are 
shorter,  and  then  there  is  the  summit  to  reach  and  one  of  any 
spirit  will  surely  shout  "Excelsior"  until  there  is  scant 
breath  to  utter  the  magical  word.  Still  at  my  time  of  life  I 
hope  there  is  no  lack  of  courage  in  admitting  that  tbe  down 
canter  was  a  pleasing  interlude  after  the  gratification  of  the 
whole  couutry  being  under  inspection,  and  that  disclosing  so 
many  attractive  scenes.  "  Before  the  descent,  however,  the 
reservoir  demands  mention,  and  like  all  tbe  other  improve- 
ments of  the  compaDV,  has  been  thoroughly  built.  Sunk 
partly  into  the  ground  and  walled  tor  several  feet  above  with 
massive  sides  of  concrete,  there  is  an  unfailing  supply  of  pure 
artesian  water,  forced  to  the  elevation  of  two  hundred  feet 
or  more  above  the  bay  by  a  huge  steam  engine,  in  return  it 
gives  a  pressure  of  some  eighty  pounds  to  the  square  inch 
at  the  works.  In  all  probability  the  original  source  of  supply 
ia  somewhere  among  the  summits  of  tbe  Sierras  with  the 
"  eternal  snows"  for  a  fountain,  and  a  conduit  which  cannot 
be  defiled  by  surface  abominations. 

Merrily  down  the  slope,  in  time  to  witness  the  loading  of 
cars  with  quarters  of  beef  and  carcasses  of  mutton,  the  only 


manual  labor  entailed  in  the  journey,  from  the  refrigeratory 
in  the  upper  story  to  the  railway  platform,  sliding  pulleys 
along  rails,  and  then  a  lift  to  be  hung  on  the  hooks  with 
which  the  car  is  garnished. 

Even  the  final  disposal  of  the  meat  from  the  abbattoir 
strikes  one  as  being  vastly  superior  to  the  usual  method,  a 
four-horse-wagon  filled  high  with  quarters  stocked  like  cord- 
wood,  mashed  together  with  the  jolting  over  miles  of  journey, 
dust-covered,  blue  and  forbidding,  much  as  I  relish  a  porter- 
house-stake or  a  cut  of  roast  beef,  if  the  familiar  picture  is 
brought  to  recollection  before  the  order  is  given,  something 
else  is  selected  from  the  bill.  I  cannot  say  that  I  could  stand 
within  hearing  of  the  "dull-thud"  and  witness  the  slide 
down  the  uplilted  platform  were  horses  the  victims,  and  yet 
should  our  people  become  bippopbagous,  it  would  be  consola- 
tory to  know  that  they  were  so  mercifully  eoded.  Something 
akin  to  cannibalism  this  feasting  on  flesh  which  had  been  en- 
veloped in  glistening  coats  which  one  had  witnessed  groomed 
with  as  much  care  as  a  fond  mother  observes  over  a  favorite 
child.  And  yet  if  sentiment  could  be  so  far  overcome  as  to 
permit  its  use,  as  in  some  other  countries,  in  these  days  when 
horses  are  liabilities  and  not  assets,  as  a  Maine  man  expressed 
a  short  time  ago,  the  breeder  would  have  a  chance  to  realize 
where  now  there  is  none.  An  easier  way,  however,  is  to  cur- 
tail the  product,  produce  more  animals  which  are  legitimate 
subjects  for  tbe  abbattoir  and  endeavor  to  rear  equines  that 
are  far  too  valuable  for  even  a  Heliogabalus  to  masticate. 


Nor  a  Joke  !  No ! !  No  !  1 ! — "A  local  agent  of  Western 
Resources  wrote  us  a  letter  the  other  day,  in  which  he  said 
we  were  in  danger  of  losing  some  of  our  subscribers  in  his 
Iocality,and  for  no  other  reason  than  that  we  were  advocating 
the  non-trotting  theory  in  sires  and  dams.  At  first  we 
thought  our  correspondent  was  undertaking  to  perpetrate  a 
joke,  but  on  mature  reflection  have  appreciated  the  fact  that 
he  was  writing  in  all  seriousness." 

The  above  is  copied  from  the  paper  mentioned  of  January 
10th,  and  had  our  collaborator  in  horse  literature  seen  as 
much  of  that  branch  of  the  service  as  some  of  us  old  fellows, 
he  would  not  have  questioned  the  seriousness  of  his  agent.  In 
the  first  place  the  average  man  of  horsey  tendencies  can 
give  cards,  spades,  big  and  little  casino,  and  on  occasion  an 
ace  or  two,  and  then  win  by  a  succession  of  sweeps  when  he 
has  the  average  horse  editor  for  a  competitor  in  the  game  of 
running  a  horse  paper.  Troublesome  as  he  is  and  pertinacious 
in  offering  his  advice,  he  is  not  so  violent  as  one  who  thinks 
that  bis  horses  have  not  received  the  attention  their  merits 
demanded,  and  who  regards  praise  of  others  as  supremely  de- 
rogotary  of  the  stock  he  owns,  or  it  may  be  of  those  he 
fancies.  Both  of  these  classes  have  been  known  for  many 
years,  and  another  sect,  or  perhaps  more  added,  but  I  will 
have  to  give  that  part  of  the  country  the  credit  of  diegiog  up 
one  more  example. 

Western  Resources  I  have  only  readjfor  a  short  time, 
though  the  numbers  received  have  created  a  favorable  im- 
pression, and  if  I  were  to  select  a  point  to  criticize  it  would 
be  sanctioning  laying-up  heats,  and  indirectly  countenancing 
"  throwing  "  a  race.  I  quote  his  illustration  :  "  For  example, 
a  man  may  have  a  very  fast  young  horse  eligible  to  the  green 
classes.  To-day  he  has  a  race,  and  to-morrow  the  entries  for 
a  more  important  purse  close.  If  the  horse  in  his  race  to- 
day is  driven  out  and  made  to  take  a  record  proportionate  to 
his  capabilities,  it  will  be  impossible  to  nominate  him  in  the 
green  class  that  closes  on  the  day  following.  The  owner  of 
the  horse  has  every  reason  to  believe  that  he  can  win  the  fu- 
ture event  and  the  winner  of  that  event  will  receive,  say 
$5,000.  To  drive  his  young  but  speedy  horse  out  in  the  race 
today  where  the  winnings  will  not  amount  to  more  than 
$1,000  is  the  act  of  a  man  that  cannot  be  called  a  keen  busi- 
ness manager."  About  the  same  chain  of  reasoning  were  the 
argument  offered  that  a  man  was  a  fool  from  a  business  point 
of  view  who  acted  honestly,  and  that  he  should  make  him- 
self a  swindler  for  the  chance  of  making  his  rascality  lucra- 
tive. If  one  wants  to  keep  his  horse  in  a  green  class  the  only 
straightforward  principle  is  not  to  start  him.  Were  the  above 
quoted  position  accepted  by  the  "horse  papers"  of  the 
country  and  countenanced  as  only  keen  business  manage- 
ment, trotting  would  soon  cease  to  be  attractive  to  the  people, 
its  only  supporters  the  shrewd  fellows  who  pull  one  day  and 
win  another.  But  I  cannot  think  that  Western  Resources 
gave  much  consideration  to  the  startling  proposition,  and  that 
the  illustration  slipped  from  his  pen  inadvertently. 

As  to  his  contention  regarding  the  chances  of  a  horse  to  get 
fast  trotters  who  cannot  trot  fast  himself,  taking  the  affirma- 
tive of  the  proposition  should  certainly  be  far  from  raising 
the  ire  of  subscribers.  Tbe  subject  is  well  bandied  in  the  ar- 
ticle which  contains  tbe  information  and  the  ground  selected 
defended  in  a  way  that  should  not  incur  the  animosity  of  par- 
tisans on  the  other  side.  But  when  it  comes  to  tbe  breeding 
of  fast  trotters  there  appears  to  be  something  of  the  old  spirit 
which  prompted  the  critics  who  used  the  inquisition  to  make 
convfcrts,.«ind  though  the  stake,  rack,  thuml>screws,  steel  boots, 
etc.,  are  happily. of  the  past,  the  heterodox  wretch  must  be 
punished,  and  if  arguments  'ail,  "stop  the  paper." 

It  may  be  somewhat  consolatory  to  know  that  when  there 
was  only  one  turf  paper  in  tbe  United  States,  and,  conse- 
quently,^ better  chance/o  be  independent  of  tbe  whims  and 
caprices  of  subscribers  and  advertisers,  there  was  the  same 
inquisitorial  spirit.  As  long  ago  as  1843,  when  people  in  all 
parts  of  the  country  were  anxious  to  learn  all  that  they  could 
in  relation  to  Boston  and  Fashion,  then  matched  for  a  large 
sum  of  money,  $40,000,  aud  to  some  the  still  more  important 
consideration  the  championship,  North  against  the  South,  one 
of  the  backers  of  Fashion  came  to  the  editor  of  the  Spirit  of 
the  Times,  Wm.  T.  Porter,  requesting  his  confidence  in  a 
matter  of  great  importance  to  the  solicitor.  Thinking  it  was 
a  personal  matter,  Mr.  Porter  unguardedly  complied.  Fashion 
had  sprung  a  curb  was  the  sub  rosa  intelligence,  and  it  was 
evident  he  had  fallen  into  a  trap.  His  informant  was  also 
one  of  the  lessees  of  the  course  greatly  interested  that  the  gate 
money  should  recoup  him  for  the  prospective  loss,  and  as  that 
was  before  the  days  of  telegraph  and  fast  railway  trains,  if  it 
was  kept  out  of  the  Spirit  the  people  would  come  from  a

ber  hurled  at  the  editor  who  had  the  manliness  to  publish  the 
true  state  of  the  horses.  Although  some  of  the  patrons  of  the 
paper  were  misled  for  a  time,  in  the  end  the  current  ran  in 
another  direction,  and  Mr.  Porter,  ''The  Tall  Sen  of  York," 
as  he  was  aflectionately  termed,  became  more  popular  than 
ever.

Commendable.— The  resolution  of  The  California  Jockev 
Club  to  break  the  continuity  of  the  racing,  which  ran  from 
tnelast  days  of  October  with  a  break  of  Sunday  and  Monday 
of  each  week,  until  last  Saturday,  in  my  estimation  was  a 
wise  move  from  many  points  of  view.  The  reasons  printed 
in  the  daily  papeis  are  sufficient  to  warrant  the  resolve; 
there  are  others  wnich  can  be  urged  with  greater  force. 

Winter  racing  has  been  denounced  all  over  the  country, 
the  plea  being  the  cruelty  of  running  horses  in  an  intensely 
cold  atmosphere,  and  over  ground  as  hard  as  flagstone  from 
the  action  of  frost.  People  living  in  a  climate  like  this,  but 
who  have  felt  the  sting  of  frost,  as  low  as  it  sometimes  shows 
in  so  temperate  a  region,  imagine  that  thirty  degrees  still 
lower  is  nearly  beyond'the  point  of  animal  endurance,  and  to 
compel  them  to  extra  efforts  for  even  a  short  distance  must 
be  cruelty.  Dwellers  in  northern  latitudes  or  even  those  who 
reside  only  a  few  degrees  north  of  this  parallel,  but  on  the 
other  side  <if  the  Sierras,  are  aware  that  men  and  animals  can 
sustain  such  severe  degrees  of  cold,  and  at  the  same  time  are 
capable  of  violent  exertion  for  a  short  period,  without  more 
suffering  than  is  often  endured  when  the  weather  is  favorable. 
There  are  hundreds  of  thousands  of  horses  in  the  Northern, 
Middle  and  Eastern  Slates  which  sutler  far  more  from  ex- 
treme cold  than  the  race  horses  on  the  winter  tracks.  With 
them  it  is  a  short  period  of  exposure,  under  the  modern  sys- 
tem of  racing, a  short  effort,  and  then  warmly  clothed,  well 
fed,  with  every  care  to  secure  their  health  and  physical  con- 
dition, comfortably  housed,  their  condition  is  much  better 
than  any  other  class  of  urbau  or  rural  horses.  1  have  par- 
ticipated in  races  on  the  ice,  races  of  heats,  where  the  horses 
were  in  the  open  air  for  hours  without  discomfort.  Between 
the  heats  they  were  clothed  comfortably  and  kept  in  motion, 
and  I  cannot  recall  a  single  instance  when  there  was  a  bad 
result.  That  race  courses  deep  in  mud  either  when  it  is  in 
the  slippery,  splashing  stage,  or  when  sticky  and  holding,  are 
more  dangerous  than  hard  tracks,  in  my  belief.  Rare,  indeed, 
when  the  old-time  quarter-horses  suffered  in  feet  and  legs,  and 
the  "paths"  on  which  they  ran  were  hardened  to  solidity  by 
all  the  means  available.  A  favorite  implement,  a  huge  c*st 
iron  caldron  dragged  with  the  rim  down,  loaded  with  extra 
weight,  and  after  that  heavy  mauls  in  stalwart  hands  to  ham- 
mer the  soil  as  hard  as  possible.  Sharp  calkins  on  the  shoes 
for  ice-trotting  by  cutting  into  the  surface  took  off  some  of 
the  jar,  but  the  quarter-horse  was  run  in  plates,  or  his  feet 
''cupped"  i.e.  the  sole  pared,  the  wall  projecting  and  carefully 
rounded  to  prevent  slipping,  and  lessen  the  danger  of  break- 
ing the  wall.  That  is  also  the  Australian  method,  I  am  in- 
formed, and  is  given  preference  to  plates,  however  light. 

This  is  written  on  Wednesday.  Looking  through  the  win- 
dow is  a  strong  southeast  wind,  the  sky  is  overcast,  and  the 
people  who  are  driving  along  the  street  are  muflled  and 
swathed  much  after  the  fashion  of  Eastern  people  in  winter 
time.  It  may  not  be  so  disagreeable  ontside  as  one  would 
think  from  the  appearance,  though  a  short  trial  is  all  that  is 
necessary  to  insure  conviction  that  as  a  pleasure  trip  a  visit 
to  the  Bay  District  would  be  a  failure. 

The  grass  is  green  in  the  yard,  and  there  are  flowers 
blooming,  but  the  sparrows  have  sought  shelter,  and  their 
merry  chirrup  is  stilled.  Let  us  have  a  practical  test  of  a 
horse's  appreciation  of  the  day.  There  is  a  miniature  track 
in  the  back  lot,  about  a  furlong  in  circuit,  inside  of  that  a 
grassy  plot.  There  is  one  horse  which  delights  in  circling 
the  track  ever  so  many  times  at  speed,  and  he  is  turned  out. 
A  very  little  of  that  fun  will  do  hira  on  that  gloomy  Wednes- 
day morning.  The  bar  is  slid  back  and  he  is  free  to  gambol 
on  the  sod.  A  bite  or  two  of  the  oversucculent  herbage,  and 
if  he  had  the  gift  of  speech  he  could  not  signify  more  clearly 
his  desire  to  get  back  into  his  box. 

It  is  a  palpable  misuse  of  language  to  call  racing  a  sport 
in  such  weather,  and  even  were  the  days  fine  the  heavy  down- 
pour of  Sunday  night,  Monday  and  Monday  night,  the  rains 
and  hail  of  Tuesday  morning  must  have  so  thoroughly 
soaked  the  course  that  the  postponement  to  Saturday  was 
wisely  resolved  upon. 

When  race  meetings  are  followiog  each  other  in  close  or- 
der, several,  perhaps,  racing,  "rain  or  shine"  has  to  be  an 
imperative  order,  but  here  in  the  winter  time  that  condition 
does  not  prevail.  My  views  of  the  ultimaie  disastrous 
effects  of  these  long-continued  meetings  are  well  known,  and 
there  is  no  necessity  for  rehearsing  thenj  in  this  connection. 
There  is  still  another  point,  however,  that  I  would  like  to 
touch  upon  now,  aud  the  action  of  the  C.  J.  C.  gives  me 
hopes  that  there  may  be  a  plan  to  mitigate  the  evil.  If  the 
people  who  have  brought  horses  here  who  have  made  the  trip 
on  the  assurance  that  ihere  should  be  racing  for  a  hundred 
days,  that  promise  must  be  kept — kept  in  a  manner  that  will 
not  permit  the  semblance  of  a  charge  of  dishonorable  conduct 
on  the  part  of  Qaliforniana  This  postponement  proves  that 
the  meetings  were  not  to  be  continued  for  every  week  from 
October  on,  and  with  five  days  racing  in  each  week.  In  fact, 
some  time  ago  Mr.  Johnson  of  the  .Ktna  Stable  told  me  that 
there  was  to  be  an  interval  of  rest,  when  he  would  visit  the 
<  Jakland  side  of  the  hay.  Therefore,  so  long  as  there  are  one 
hundred  days  of  racing  from  October  28,  1898  to  May  1, 
the  contract  will  be  filled. 

Not  including  thi*  week  there  will  be  fourteen  weeks,  and 
after  this  Saturday  forty-two  day's  races  to  comply  with  the 
agreement.  Three  days  pur  week  to  lill  the  bill.  '  In  a  week 
so  decidedly  unfavorable  as  this  one  day,  a  little  better  two 
days,  still  better  three,  with  good  weather  five. 

Were  there  an  assurance  of  suitable  weather,  so  that  the 
time  could  be  made  the  most  of,  I  believe  that  three  days  a 
week  would  pay  better  than  live.  \m\  better  for  the  horses. 
Belter  than  a  break  of  two  or  more  ffeeke,08  the  horses  could 
be  run  in  divisions,  one  quota  kept  for  future  work,  one 
active. 

When  the  present  Storm  has  spent  its  force  there  are 
'trong  probabilities  that  fine  weather  will   prevail   for  some 

"'riiary  in  a  majority  of  seasons   is  the  most   enjoyable 
f  the  California  year.     While  difficult  to  awards  de« 
Vence, there  are  reasODS  for  giving  the  Bhortesl  the 
"ii  between  the  two  rainy  Beason&jif  i  howei 

the  Eastern  April  formula,  aim I  and 

v  bloom,  the  grass  has  made  Bufflcienl  growth 


to  give  the  hills  an  emerald  robe,the  slopes  and  plains  thickly 
clothed.  There  are  foals  in  plenty,  and  nothing  adds  more 
living  beauty  to  a  pasture  field  than  the  youngsters  which  in 
a  few  years  hence  may  be  prominent  in  the  turf  world.  Then 
the  ground,  which  has  been  so  thoroughly  saturated  by  the 
rainfall  of  previous  months,  with  the  top  dry,  is  in  the  very 
best  order  to  gallop  upon.  Springy  underLeath,  good  fooling 
above,  there  almost  appears  to  be  an  electric  current  to  ani- 
mate the  spirits  of  the  most  sluggish  of  thoroughbreds. 

Racing  under  bright  skies  and  over  a  course  which  is  dry 
and  in  good  order  is  a  delight,  inspiring  young  and  old,  and 
even  sending  a  thrill  through  the  blase  frame  of  worn-out 
voluptuaries. 

Wallowing  through  mud,  struggling  against  rainstorms,  a 
meagre  crcwd  of  chilled  and  forlorn-looking  individuals,  un 
willing  spectators,  a  travesty  on  the  royal  sport,  a  humbug- 
which  would  soon  explode  were  it  not  for  the  fever  of  gamb-, 
ling.

granted.  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson. 


Distemper  in  Horses. 


A  few  words  at  this  season  on  the  subject  of  distemper  may 
not  be  out  of  place,  many  of  the  inquiries  now  reaching  us 
having  reference  to  this  ailmen',  known  sometimes  by  the 
name  of  strangles.  Various  theories  have  from  time  to  time 
been  advanced  as  to  the  nature  of  the  disorder.  These  differ- 
ences of  opinion  sometimes  hinge  on  the  locality  of  the  a  flec- 
tion, and  sometimes  on  the  period  of  its  appearing. 

Because  so  few  escape  it  altogether  it  has  been  considered, 
like  measles  and  kindred  affections  in  the  human  family,  a 
constitutional  disease,  the  susceptibility  to  a  second  attack 
being  destroyed  with  the  first.  Again,  it  has  been  supposed 
that  when  there  was  some  innate  disease,  as  it  were,  it  was 
thrown  offby  maturation,  and  that  the  animal  afterwards,  as 
a  rule,  manifested  an  improvement  in  its  constitution.  In 
confirmation  of  this  theory  many  writers  urged  that  in  nu- 
merous instances  young  horses,apparently  thriftless,continued 
in  such  a  condition  in  spite  of  scientific  treatment  until  at- 
tacked by  the  disease  we  are  describing,  when  all  traces  of 
sickness  vanished,  and  perfect  health  and  the  much-desired 
buoyancy  of  animal  spirits  succeeded  the  former  sluggishness 
and  obstinate  lack  of  condition. 

As  opposed  to  this  theory,  the  fact  may  be  mentioned  that 
the  horses  of  warm  countries  never  have  the  strangles,  and 
that  the  horses  of  Barbary,  though  never  suffering  from  this 
ailment,  are  considered  more  healthy  than  our  own.  Hence 
we  are  inclined  to  agree  with  those  writers  who  have  treated 
strangles  as  a  catarrhal  rather  than  a  constitutional  affection. 
Proceeding,  therefore,  on  that  basis,  we  will  give,  in  as  brief 
a  space  as  possible,  the  symptoms  aud  general  treatment,  at- 
tention to  which  will,  as  a  rule,  enable  interested  parties  to 
combat  the  ailmentsatisfactorily. 

The  first  symptoms  observed  are  usually  slight  cold,  alter- 
nated with  fever.  The  horse  is  dull,  and  has  often  a  cough, 
with  soreness  of  throat,  and  there  is  a  disinclinition  to  eat 
and  increased  thirst ;  the  coat  is  staring  ;  there  is  by  and  by 
a  loose  condition  and  redness  of  the  nasal  membranes,  accom- 
panied by  a  watery  flow  from  the  nose  and  eyes,  and  the  pulse 
is  somewhat  hurried.  In  a  day  or  two  the  subaxillary  and 
sublingual  glands  swell  and  there  is  difficulty  in  swallowing. 
It  often  happens  on  the  second  or  third  day  that  the  muco- 
purulent discharge  takes  place  from  the  nostrils,  and  some- 
times the  lungs  become  slightly  inflamed. 

When  the  tumor  is  between  the  jaws  in  the  ordinary  way 
and  of  the  usual  size  it  reaches  maturity  with  little  or  no 
trouble  being  experienced.  It  is  hot,  tender,  rounded  and 
smooth,  and  eventually  fluctuating  in  the  center,owing  to  the 
formation  of  pus.  There  will  be  much  more  fever  and  greater 
difficulty  in  breathing  when  the  tumor  is  in  the  immediate 
neighborhood  of  the  parotid  glands,  stertorous  breathing  and 
a  tendency  to  strangulation,  thus  giving  rise  to  the  name 
strangles.  When  the  tumor  exceeds  the  ordinary  size  there 
may  occur  a  hindrance  to  power  of  mastication,  causing  the 
animal  to  become  extremely  weak  from  lack  of  sufficient 
nourishment.  We  have  instances  where 'the  tumor,  in  place 
of  becoming  softer,  gets  harder,  and  then  the  disease  becomes 
more  tedious. 

It  is  useless  in  this  disease,  as  in  many  others,  to  check  it. 
Our  efforts  must  be  directed  in  such  a  way  as  to  assist  nature 
to  do  her  work  more  expeditiously  than  when  left  to  herself, 
and  in  this  way  we  effect  a  saving  of  time,  and  better  main- 
tain the  strength  of  pur  animal.  This  latter  is  a  very  im- 
portant point  and  cannot  be  too  strongly  insisted  upon,  care 
being  taken  not  to  reduce  it  by  either  bleeding  or  physicing. 
The  horse  must  receive  nourishment,  for  the  drain  upon  the 
system  is  now  very  great,  and  if  the  throat  is  so  sore  as  to 
cause  a  disinclination  or  inability  to  swallow,  he  must  get  it, 
if  necessary,  by  the  rectum.  The  latter,  however,  is  not  a 
desirable  channel,  the  result  usually  being  unsatisfactory,  be- 
cause only  a  portion  of  the  nutritious  constituents  are  ab- 
sorbed. 

Any  food  which  the  animal  will  take  may  be  given.  Of 
course  it  must  be  soft  or  it  will  be  refused.  Grain  is  some- 
times taken  when  the  other  food  is  refused;  carrots  scalded 
and  cut  longitudinally  and  bran  mashes  may  be  given,  but  a 
change  must  be  given  the  moment  the  animal  begins  to  tire 
of  it.  Boil  linseed  and  corn  meal  together  and  give  it  as  thick 
as  gruel,  Sulphate  of  quinine,  a  scruple  as  a  dose,  might  be 
given  either  in  thin  gruel  or  beef  lea,  the  latter  preferable 
when  there  is  much  exhaustion. 

When  the  glands  are  observed  to  swell  commence  apphing 
warm  poultices.  This  Hue  of  treatment  is  preferable  to  fo- 
mentations, as  the  latter  is  not  infrequently  followed  by  a  chill 
retarding  necessarily  the  suppuration  process.  A  little  mus- 
tard or  cantharides  ointment  may  be  rubbed  over  the  surface 
before  applying  the  poultice.  The  latter  may  be  kept  warm 
by  either  encompassing  it  with  hot  cotton  batting  or  keeping 
it  saturated  with  water  as  hot  as  can  be  safely  applied. 

As  soon  as  the  tumor  points,  open  it,  and  evacuate  thesac. 
It  is  said  nature  is  a  good  physician  but  a  bad  surgeon,  be- 
cause when  an  opening  is  permitted  to  take  place  as  the  re- 
sult of  allowing  an  abscess  to  burst,  the  wound  is  irregular, 
heals  slowly,  and  in  apt  to  cause  a  blemish  ;  while  an  incised 
wound,  as  made  by  a  scalpel,  or  other  surgical  instrument, 
heals  quickly,  leaving  no  sore.  When  the  wound  is  made, 
inject  some  laudanum  and  tepid  water,  insert  a  pledget  of 
tow,  saturated  in  a  weak  solution  of  carbolic  acid,  one  part  to 
seventy-five  of  water.  Keep  the  wound  clean,  as  this  has  quite 
an  effect  on  the  result.     Be  very  careful  when  making  the  in- 


cision that  the  duct  of  the  gland  is  not  severe.  Blood  vessels 
should  also  be  avoided,  as  depletion  at  such  a  time  would 
prove  injurious.  The  abscess  should  not  be  opened  until  it 
points. 

If  the  throat  is  sore  and  the  nostrils  running  considerably, 
swab  out  the  former  with  the  carbolic  acid  mixture  prescribed 
above,  and  syringe  a  little  into  the  nostrils.  This  should  be 
done  gently  so  as  to  prevent  it  from  being  carried  by  the 
respiratory  movement  into  the  lungs.  Cause  the  animal  to 
inhale  steam  occasionally.  The  after  treatment  may  be  sum- 
marily disposed  of,  as  it  is  embraced  in  the  following :  Good 
nursing,  tonics  and  nutritive  diet.  The  latter  should  be  sup- 
plied judiciously,  not  too  much  at  first,  as  the  digestive  organs 
are  still  weak. — Charles  R.  Wood,  V.  S. 


Dexter  Princes  Attached. 


"  White  Hat"  McCarty,  backed  by  numerous  minions  and 
some  law  officers,  swooped  down  on  the  town  of  Lodi  armed 
with  a  writ  of  replevin  and  got  away  with  some  promising 
young  fillies  which  were  sold  there  at  a  constable's  6ale  not 
long  ago.  It  is  claimed  by  McCarty  that  the  fillies  belong  to 
Henry  Pierce,  the  founder  of  the  Stockton  paper  mill.  Mc_ 
Carty  claims  that  they  were  merely  loaned  to  him  to  be 
trained. 

The  well-known  horseman  had  twelve  horses,  including 
the  fillies,  at  the  Lodi  track  last  winter.  The  man  who  was 
in  charge  of  them  was  Mifte  Costello,  who  had  been  picked 
up  by  McCarty  in  Tacoma  and  hired  at  $60  a  month.  Mc- 
Carty went  East  on  January  28th  intending  to  remain  but  a 
month,  but  he  was  detained  there  and  elsewhere  much  longer 
and  has,  as  a  matter  of  fact,  not  seen  Costello  since  he  left 
him  at  the  Lodi  track  with  the  young  horses. 
"  Along  in  August  McCaity  had  a  chance  to  sell  two  of  the 
horses  to  the  Spreckels',  and  telegraphed  to  Lodi  to  have  the 
horses  sent  to  Oakland.  Prince  Dexter  and  Index  were  sent 
to  the  bay  in  response  to  this  order,  and  Costello  went  along 
in  charge  of  the  pair,  first  getting  his  pay  to  the  date  from 
McCartv's  son. 

It  is  claimed  by  McCarty  that  Costello  then  went  out  of  his 
employ,  being  hired  at  $100  by  the  Spreckels  to  take  the  two 
around  the  circuit.  McCarty  says  he  never  hired  Costello 
again,  but  Costello  says  different.  The  facts  are  that  Costello 
was  with  the  Spreckels  just  a  month,  and  was  theu  discharged 
and  returned  to  Lodi,  where  he  was  soon  training  the  Mc- 
Carty horses  as  of  yore. 

Notwithstanding  that  it  is  McCarty's  claim  thatat  the  time 
Costello  was  paid  off'  in  August  he  was  really  overpaid  $8, 
Costello  sued  McCarty  for  $256  alleged  to  be  due  in  wages. 
This  suit  was  commenced  in  October.  It  was  tried  a  little 
later  in  the  Lodi  justice  court  before  Justice  Wallace,  Mc- 
Carty being  absent  himself  but  being  represented  by  an  at- 
torney in  the  person  of  his  talented  nephew,  J.  H.  Creely. 
The  evidence,  seemed  to  favor  McCarty,  but  nevertheless 
judgment  was  had  and  indue  time  there  was  a  constable's 
sale  under  the  attachment. 

Constable  Bailey  conducted  this  sale,  and  some  wonderful 
bargains  were  secured.  Three  fillies  were  disposed  of,  the 
likeliest  one  in  the  lot  being  bought  by  Francis  Cogswell, 
who  paid  $150  for  ber  and  then  got  a  spanking  harness  worth 
$40  for  $4.50  to  cover  her.  Herbert  Williamson  got  an- 
other of  the  fillies  for  $64,  and  Dr.  Standish  a  third  for  $100. 
Boots  worth  fully  $50  went  for  $1  and  other  things  in  propor- 
tion. 

The  peculiarity  of  this  sale  was  that  it  was  had  notwith- 
standing the  introduction  of  an  affidavit  signed  by  Henry 
Pierce  swearing  that  the  fillies  belonged  to  him  and  that  they 
were  bought  by  McCarty  for  him.  This  was  introduced  at 
the  trial  of  the  case,  but  had  no  weight  with  the  justice. 
There  was  thirty  days  to  appeal,  and  before  the  expiration  of 
that  time  McCarty  availed  himself  of  the  privilege. 

Yesterday  in  the  superior  court  here  an  action  was  brought 
by  Henry  Pierce  asking  for  the  payment  to  him  of  $1,500 
that  the  three  fillies  are  worth  and  for  $1,000  damages  on  ac- 
count of  the  irregular  proceedings  in  the  justice  court.  He 
sues  Constable  Bailey  and  several  others.  As  the  constable 
neglected  to  get  an  indemnifying  bond  it  may  go  hard  on  him. 
The  horses  were  seized  last  night  on  a  writ  of  replevin  issued 
on  the  strength  of  this  suit.  One  of  them  is  left  to  be  gathered 
in,  aud  that  one  is  now  in  Lathrop. — Stockton  Independent. 
♦ 

There  were  three  racing  events  at  the  Lodi  race  meeting 
last  Saturday  afternoon.  The  track  was  rather  heavy,  but 
the  speed  contests  were  interesting  and  some  money  changed 
hands  on  them.  In  the  2:29  pacing  race  Martin  Carter's 
Direct  Line  beat  A.  T.  Jackson's  Dunshner,  making  2:25A  in

Trotters  and  Pacers  in  the  2:10  List. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — The  following 
table,  giving  the  name,  color,  sex,  age  and  record  of  all  trot- 
ters and  pacers  having  record-s  of  2:10  or  better,  the  time 
when,  and  the  place  where,  and  how  each  record  was  made, 
the  sire  and  dam  of  each  performer,  and  the  sire  of  the  dam, 
the  number  of  2:30  performers  produced  by  the  sire  of  each 
performer,  and  the  year  when  each  of  such  sires  was 
foaled,  the  number  of  2:30  performers  produecd  by  each 
dam  and  the  number  of  producing  sons  and  daughters  of  each 
dam,  has  been  arranged  with  considerable  care  and  research. 
It  contains  more  information  about  the  performers  therein 
named  than  any  other  table  that  has  been  brought  to  my 
notice,  and  will  undoubtedly  be  interesting  to  many  of  your 
readers.  The  ages  of  Barney  and  Paul  are  not  given,  because 
they  are  unknown  and  not  on  record. 

By  extending  the  pedigrees  of  the  trotters,  the  fact  will 
be  disclosed  that  all  except  Guy  and  Walter  E.  trace  to  Ham- 
bletonian 10,  and  they  both  trace  to  imp.  Messenger,  his 
great  grandsire. 

A  like  examination  of  the  pedigrees  of  the  pacers  shows 
that  all  of  them  except  eight  trace  to  Hambletonian  10. 

Another  feature  which  strikes  one  with  great  force  is  the 
figure  cut  by  the  infusion  of  thoroughbred  blood  with  that  of 
the  trotter. 

Attention  is  also  strongly  attracted  by  the  age  of  many  of 
the  trotters  and  pacers  named  in  the  table.  It  seems  almost 
incredible  that  so  many  young  animals  should  be  able  to 
obtain  such  records.  Fantasy,  three  years  ;  Directum,  Arion 
and  Moquette  each  four  years;  Alix,  Kremlin,  Sunol,  Hulda, 
Belle  Vara,  Allerton  and  Harrietta  were  each  five  years  of 
age  at  the  time  of  making  their  respective  records. 

Here  is  an  object  lesson  for  those  persons  who  condemn 
the  practice  of  trainingand  racing  colts  and  insist  as  a  result 
of  such  work  that  ihey  will  not  train  on  and  go  faster  as  aged 
animals.     Sunol  obtained  a  record  of  2:18  as  a  two-year  old. 


Trotting  Gossip. 


It  is  like  linking  the  past  with  the  present  to  draw  a  chair 
near  the  glowing  fire  in  the  cosy  office  and  listen  to  W.  H 
Van  Colt  relate  his  horse  experience  of  the  past  sixty  vears. 
From  this  the  reader  might  infer  that  Mr.  Van  Cott  was  an 
old  man,  but  no  acquaintance  regards  him  as  such.  He  is  as 
active  as  a  man  of  fifty,  and  yet  he  recalls  the  appearance  of 
Amazonia,  the  dam  of  Abdallah,  as  he  saw  her  hitched  to  a 
cart,  and  her  owner,  John  Tread  well,  driving  her  and  leading 
Abdallah,  when  a  youngster,  behind.  He  describes  Amazonia 
as  a  heavy,  bloeky,  chestnut  sorrel  mare,  weighing  probably 
1050  pounds  and  standing  nearly  15|  hands  high.  As  Harold 
was  an  inbred  Abdallah,  Amazonia  may  have  exerted  a  strong 
influence  in  imparting  the  color  that  marks  his  greatest 
daughter  and  several  other  noted  performers  in  his  2:30 
list. 

Since  so  much  has  been  written  of  late  regarding  Flora 
Temple,  I  thought  it  might  interest  readers  to  know  of  her 
through  Mr.  Van  Cott,  as  he  knew  her  from  the  time  she 
could  trot  in  3:00,  up  to  the  time  he  negotiated  her  sale  at 
$400,  it  being  more  money  than  a  trotting  horse  had  at  that 
time  ever  been  sold  for.  Here  is  what  he  says  of  the  little 
mare: 

;'  Flora  Temple  was  brought  from  western  Xew  York  be- 
hind a  drove  of  cattle  to  Washington  Hollow,  Duchess  Co., 
N.  Y.,  where  she  was  purchased  by  John  Sherwood,  who 
sold  a  half  interest  to  his  neighbor,  Wells  Viele.  Mr.  Sher- 
wood had  really  bought  the  mare  for  his  brother  Dan,  who 
wanted  a  horse  for  use  on  the  road,  but  when  the  brother 
saw  her  he  declined  her,  on  account  of  lack  of  size  and  gen- 
eral lack  of  the  qualities  a  man  wants  in  a  driver.  Flora 
was  only  a  trifle  over  14  hands,  mixed  gaited  and  not  a  pleas- 
ant driver  on  the  road. 

''The  first  time  I  saw  the  mare,"  continued  Mr.  Van  Cott, 
"  was  after  Viele  brought  he  to  New  York.  He  stabled  her  at 
the  Bazaar  on  Crosby  street,  near  Grand,  and  there  George 


him  Anally  for  a  nominal  sum  when  his  useful  days  were  over 
and  gave  him  to  one  of  the  hostlers,  who  promised  to  give 
the  old  horse  a  good  home.  While  grazing  Bellfounder  in- 
jured one  of  his  hind  feet  by  stepping  on  a  projecting  root, 
and  this  finally  caused  his  death. 

"Bellfounder  was  a  grand  type  of  a  horse,"  said  Mr.  Van 
Cott,  -fa  compact,  well-built  horse,  just  about  1-5  hands  high, 
with  the  best  legs  and  feet  you  ever  saw  and  the  perfect  hocks 
and  quarters  for  which  Hambletonian  was  noted.  His  tail 
had  been  cut  in  England,  but  it  still  grew  and  reached  nearly 
to  the  ground,  and  he  carried  it  beautifully  when  in  motion. 
Bellfounder  could  trot  in  about  3:00,  but  he  never  sired  one 
that  could  beat  2:40.  All  his  get  were  noted  for  good  dispo- 
sitions and  more  than  average  speed,  but  none  were  very  fast. 
"Did  Hambletonian  inherit  his  rather  short  neck  from 
Bellfounder?"  I  asked.  "No/1  replied  Mr.  Van  Cott. 
"  Bellfounder  had  a  long,  rangy,  beautiful  neck,  and  he  carried 
it  well  up." 

While  writing  of  Bellfounder  I  am  reminded  that  Mr.  Van 
Cott  once  owned  the  bay  gelding  Conqueror  that  in  1853 
trotted  100  miles  in  8:55  5-3.  A  friend  and  patron  of  the 
stable,  and  a  man  of  wealth  and  sporting  proclivities,  called 
one  day  at  Mr.  Van  Cott's  and  asked  for  a  horse  to  ride  a  long 
distance  in  the  country  on  business. 

A  short  time  before  this  same  man  had  been  foolish  enough 
to  accept  a  wager  that  he  could  not  proauce  a  horse  on  a  cer- 
tain day  that  could  not  trot  100  miles  in  less  than  nine  hours. 
In  reply  to  the  request  for  a  hack  horse  Mr.  Van  Cott  replied 
that  he  had  only  one  horse  in  the  stable,  and  if  the  gentleman 
desired  to  ride  him  he  could  do  so ;  and,  mounting  the  bay 
gelding,  the  gentleman  rode  away. 

It  seemed  but  a  short  time  to  Mr.  Van  Cott,  busy  with  his 
duties,  before  the  gentleman  reappeared,  and  in  a  tone  of  sur- 
prise Van  Cott  said,  "So  you  gave  up  your  journey,  did  you?" 
"No,"  was  the  reply,  "  I  have  been  and  returned."  It  seemed 
so  incredible  that  Van  Cott  promptly  replied,  "I  will  bet  you 
$5  you  have  not."  The  money  was  posted,  and  the  gentle- 
man produced  the  check  received  as  theresult  of  hisjourney. 
He  also  asked  a  price  on  the  bay  gelding  he  had  ridden,  and 
at  once  bought  him,  the  price  being  less  than  §200.  After 
the  purchase  he  informed  Mr.  Van  Cott  that  be  proposed

Arion  at  the  same  age  trotted  in  2:10J,  while  Belle  Vara  com- 
menced as  a  yearling  with  a  record  of  2:3rf,  aod  Manager  as  a 
two-year-old  took  a  pacing  record  of  2:16A. 

With  such  facts  and  results  staring  them  in  the  face,  can 
any  breeder  who  hopes  to  obtain  any  popularity  for  his  stock 
and  profit  therefrom,  afford  to  postpone  training  and  racing 
his  colls  until  they  are  four  or  ti  ye  years  of  age? 

Another  most  remarkable  fact  is  shown  that  while  Dicta- 
tor 113  is  the  sire  of  Jay-Eye-See.  2:10,  trotting,  and  2:0l}j, 
pacing,  he  is  also  the  sire  of  the  dam  of  Xancy  Hanks,  2:04, 
and  his  son  Director,  2:17,  is  sire  of  Directum,  2:05},  aod 
Direct,  trotting,  2:J8},  and  pacing,  2:05A. 

It  will  be  noticed  that  California  has  to  her  credit  fourteen 
of  the  performers,  equally  divided  between  the  trotters  and 
pacers. 

It  is  unnecessary  to  go  further  into  details.  The  table  is 
interesting  and  contains  much  food  for  thought. 

It  appears  to  me  that  many  breeders  ought  to  learn  this  les- 
son from  such  a  table:  That  to  breed  fast  trotters  and  pacers, 
they  must  select,  properly  mingle,  and  develop  the  blood  lines 
that  have  been  most  successful.  E.  I,  Robinson. 

San  Francisco,  December  30,  1893. 


It  is  said  that  European  horsemen  are  ready  to  accept  Dr. 
■  Day's  challenge  to  trot  Lord  Byron,  2:17,  against  any   Euro- 
pean trotter. 


Perrin  and  myself  called  to  see  the  mare,  Perrin  having  an 
idea  of  buying  her.  Viele  agreed  to  show  a  mile  in  3:00  the 
follewing  morning  over  Union  Course,  and  he  did  show  a  mile 
in  3:03.  Perrin  gave  him  a  Rochelle  wagon,  similar  to  what 
we  now  call  a  rimabout,  and  $250  in  money.  Perrin  then 
brougnt  her  to  my  stable.  Soon  after  George  Perrin  sold 
Flora  to  his  brothep^John,  and  he  assigned  or  transferred  her 
to  his  brother  in-law,  George  Vogel,  who  figured  as  the  owner 
when  I  made  the  sale  to  Joe  Jewell  and  Baroey  Borbatn  at 
$4,000,  the  largest  price  ever  paid  for  a  trotter  up  to  that 
time.  During  all  this  time  she  had  remained  in  my  stable, 
except  when  away  trotting  races,  a  number  of  which  she 
won.  At  no  time  when  I  knew  her  was  her  breeding  known," 
added  Mr.  Van  Cott.  "  You  must  remember,"  he  continued, 
"that  at  that  time  we  had  practically  none  of  the  appliances 
that  assist  in  making  speed  today.  Flora  was  mixed  gaited 
and  often  cut  her  quarters.  At  that  time  there  were  no  quar- 
ter boots  made.  .Neither  was  the  art  of  balancing  then  un- 
derstood as  now,  and  our  sulkies  weighed  from  70  to  80 
pounds.  Taking  all  things  into  consideration,  I  think  Flora 
was  a  wonderful  mare,  and  fully  as  fast  as  the  champions  of 
the  present  day." 

When  John  Meade  bought  imported  Bellfounder  he  at  once 
took  the  horse  over  on  Long  Island  and  stabled  him  at  the 
hotel  of  Harry  Van  Colt,  father  of  W.  H.  Van  Cott.  Young 
Van  Cott  frenuently  rode  the  horse,  and,  in  fact,  he  bought 


starting  Conqueror  to  win  his  wager,  and,  as  readers  know, 
he  was  successful,  and  the  record  still  stands  as  the  best  for 
the  distance.  Conqueror  was  an  inbred  Bellfouuder,  being 
by  a  son  of  Bellfounder,  out  of  a  daughter  of  Bellfounder. 

Many  readers  are  probably  aware  that  the  breeding  of 
Henry  Clay,  as  recorded  and  given  by  Mr.  Wallace,  was:  By 
Andrew  Jackson,  dam  Surrey  Mare,  a  pacer  from  Surrey, 
N.  H.  Mr.  Van  Cott  always  smiles  a  broad  smile  when  refer- 
ence is  made  to  this  mare  as  being  a  pacer.  He  knew  the 
mare  well,  and  saw  her  trot  a  race  in  1832  over  the  Center- 
ville  track,  defeating  Cato  under  saddle  in  about  3:40.  "She 
never  paced  a  step  in  her  life,"  said  Mr.  Van  Cott.  The  dam 
of  Henry  Clay  was  a  low-headed,  blocky-built  bay  mare,  with 
every  characteristic  of  French  or  Canadian  blood,  and  it  is 
not  at  all  probable  that  the  family  derived  any  warm  current 
from  her. — American  Horse  Breeder. 


L\st  winter  one  weanling  was  broke  to  harness  at  the 
Great  Meadow  Farm,  Cotnstocks,  N.  Y.  It  was  Worden,  by 
Californian  (son  of  Guy  Wilkes),  and  as  early  as  the  month 
of  May  (when  sold)  he  could  show  close  to  a  three-minute 
gait  in  harness.  This  year  four  weanlings  will  be  broken  to 
harness  there — three  by  Californian  and  one  by  Meander, 
2:2tU,  the  sire  of  Pamlico,  2:104.  The  one  whose  education 
is  at  present  most  advanced  is  Rangoon,  an  eight-mom  l 
colt  by  Californian,  dam  Dorothy,  by  Bona  Fide.

they  may  be  identified.  Questionsrequiriug  answers

H.  A.  K.,  Sonoma. — I  have  a  gray  mare 
about  nine  years  old  that  got  distemper  a  year 
and  a  half  ago,  and  since  that  time  has  never 
been  quite  well.  She  works  all  right  and 
feels  good,  but  there  is  a  discharge  from  the 
right  nostril,  and  that  side  of  the  jaw  is  en- 
larged underneath,  having  a  lump  about  the 
size  of  a  walnut.  I  tried  several  liniments  on 
it,  but  they  did  it  no  good,  and  although  it  does 
not  injure  her,  I  would  like  to  get  her  well. 
Please  say  through  your  valuable  paper  what 
I  ought  to  apply  or  use  to  cure  it.  Answer — 
It  is  rather  doubtful  as  to  whether  your  mare 
is  affected  with  glanders.  Keep  her  away 
from  all  other  horses,  and  be  careful 
handling  her,  until  you  show  her  to  a  qual- 
i6ed  veterinary  surgeon.  Don't  delay  about 
getting  one,  for  if  it  is  glanders  other  animals 
may  contract  the  disease. 

C.  C,  Bikersfield. — Please  tell  me  through 
your  valuable  paper  a  good  healing  applica- 
tion for  sore  backs  and  shoulders,  cuts,  etc., 
for  use  on  the  farm,  one  that  is  not  too  dear. 
Answer — Sulphate  of  zinc,  six  drams  ;  acet- 
ate of  lead,  one  ounce;  tincture  of  lobe! 'a,  one 
ounce  ;  water  to  make  two  pints.  Shake  and 
apply  two  or  three  times  a  day  to  the  sores. 
This,  with  a  few  drops  of  oil  of  eucalyptus 
to  give  it  a  perfume,  is  almost  the  exact  com- 
position of  some  patent  healing  medicines  that 
are  said  to  perform  most  wonderful  cures  in 
the  way  of  healing. 


Subscriber,  Visalia. — I  have  a  three-year- 
old  colt  that  got  his  back  tendons  sprained 
three  weeks  ago.  I  used  some  H.  H.  H.  lini- 
ment on  it  which  swelled  the  part  and  caused 
a  scab  to  form,  but  he  is  still  lame  and  sore  to 
the  touch.  What  treatment  should  you  ad- 
vise? He  is  only  just  broke  to  harness,  and 
has  not  been  worked  much.  Answer — If  all 
the  scab  has  fallen  off"  rub  the  following  blister 
well  into  the  part  for  ten  or  twelve  minutes : 
Pulverized  cantharideB,  two  drams;  vaseline, 
two  ounces.  Tie  his  head  up  for  a  few  days, 
so  that  he  cannot  get  his  mouth  near  the  blis- 
tered part.  Do  Dot  work  him  to  aDy  extent 
for  six  weeks 


L.  C,  "Watsonville. — I  had  a  mare  who 
died  from  some  bowel  trouble  last  week.  I 
think  it  was  caused  by  a  chill  or  a  drink  of 
cold  water.  Aft«r  coming  home  from  work 
one  cold  evening  she  got  a  drink  of  cold 
wa*er  but  refused  to  eat  her  feed  and  felt  cold 
all  over.  She  soon  began  to  scratch  with  her 
front  feet  and  wanted  to  lie  down  but  was 
afraid  to  d  j  so.  I  gave  her  an  injection  of  warm 
water  and  soap  and  put  a  boy  on  her  back  and 
gave  her  a  good  run  to  warm  her  up  and  help 
her  to  pass  wind.  When  she  came  back  she 
made  water  and  appeared  better,  but  by  the 
morning  she  was  still  in  pain  and  did  not  care 
to  eat  or  driuk.  I  then  gave  her  about  half 
a  pint  of  whiskey  with  some  red  pepper  in  it 
and  tw«  tablespoouful  of  nitre,  having  given 
her  the  same  dose  the  night  before.  This 
eased  her,  but  pain  returned  off  and  on  for 
four  or  6ve  days,  when  it  got  very  severe,  and 
shejdied  in  spite  of  several  other  remedies 
and  applications.  I  opened  her  and  found  the 
bowels  greatly  inflamed  and  black  in  parts. 
What  treatment  would  you  recommend  in  case 
of.another  horse  getting  sick  in  the  same  way. 
Answer — The  following  would  be  a  good  safe 
dose  to  give  a  horse  alflicted  in  that  way: 
Sweet  spirits  of  nitre,  one  ounce  ;  tincture  of 
opium,  one  ounce;  sulphuric  ether,one  ounce; 
linseed  oil  to  make  a  quart.  Shake  well  and 
give  as  a  drench  in  one  dose,  care  being  taken 
to  let  the  horse's  head  down  immediately 
should  he  cough  while  being  drenched.  Take 
the  colt  out  of  the  drinking  water  for  a  few 
days  after.  Don't  give  much  to  eat  for  two 
days  and  only  warm  brau  mash,  flaxseed  tea 
and  such  warm,  soft  food.     The  injection  and 


exercise  were  good  treatment  if  the  intestines 
were  inflated  with  gas,  as  in  flatulent  colic 
Warm  blankets, hot  application  and  stimulents 
should  be  used  if  the  horse  be  in  a  chill.

Five  Faithful  Mares. 


The  origin  of  the  best  strains  of  Arabian 
blood  has  been  related  by  some  romancer,  and 
is  thus  recounted  by  Colonel  T.  A.  Dodge  in 
Harper's  Weekly: 

While  Mohammed  was  fighting  his  way  to 
greatness  he  was  at  once  compelled  to  lead  his 
corps  of  20,000  cavalry  for  three  days  without 
a  drop  of  water.  At  last,  from  a  hilltop,  they 
descried  the  silver  streak  of  a  distant  river. 
Mohammed  ordered  his  trnmpeterto  blow  the 
call  to  dismount  and  loose  the  horses.  The 
poor  brutes,  starving  for  water,  at  once  sprang 
into  a  mad  gallop  toward  the  longed-for  goal. 
No  sooner  loosened  then  came  the  alarm — 
false,  as  it  happened — of  a  sudden  ambush. 
"  To  horse  I"  was  blown,  and  repeated  by  a 
hundred  bugles.  But  the  demand  was  too 
great ;  the  parched  throats  were  not  to  be  re- 
fused ;  the  stampede  grew  wilder  and  wilder 
as  20,000  steeds  pushed  desperately  for  the 
river  banks. 

Of  all  the  frantic  crowd  but  five  mares  re- 
sponded to  the  call.  To  these  duty  was  higher 
than  suffering.  They  turned  in  their  tracks^ 
came  bravely  back,  pleadiog  in  their  eyes  and 
anguish  in  their  sunken  flanks,  and  stood  be- 
fore  the  prophet.  Love  for  their  master  and 
a  sense  of  obedience  had  conquered  tbeir  dis- 
tress, but  their  blood-shot  eyes  told  of  a  fear- 
ful torment — the  more  pathetic  for  their 
dumbness.  The  danger  was  over;  the  faithful 
mares  were  at  once  released;  but  Mohammed 
selected  these  five  for  his  own  use  ;  and  they 
were  the  dams  of  one  of  the  great  races  of  the 
desert.  From  them  have  sprung  the  best  of 
Arabian  steeds.  It  can,  however,  scarcely  be 
claimed  that  the  average  horse  of  the  Orient 
comes  up  to  this  ideal.  He  must  have  beei 
bred  from  the  19,995.

The    Swipe. 


He  looked  ragged,  and  shiftless,  and  dirty. 

As  be  sat  in  the  door  of  the  stall, 
Rinsing  rub  rags  out  of  a  backet 

And  whistling  -After  the  Ball." 

I  wondered  how  he  could  be  happy 
And  thought  of  his  lot  with  a  shiver, 

While  he  merrily  continued  to  whistle 
And  adjusted  his  pants  with  a  '  skiver." 

By  an  impulse  I  could  not  account  for 

I  paused  and  accosted  the  lad, 
And  the  merry  blue  eye  I  encountered 

Betokened  a  heart  far  from  sad. 

I  inquired  his  occupation. 

His  answer  may  look  strange  in  type, 
*'I  rub  trotters,  boss,  fer  a  livin  ," 

An'  I'm  proud  to  be  called  a  'swipe. 

"Does  yer  see  that  mare  in  the  stall,  sir? 

Well,  she's  a  red  hot  uu,  you  bet. 
I've  rubbed  and  scraped  many  a  good  un. 

But  I've  never  seen  her  equal  yet. 

"  Why,  she's  as  game  as  a  bulldog, 
An'  a  peacock  ain't  in  it  fer  style, 

Just  size  up  that  stifle  an'  leg.  Bir, 
That's.what  counts  at  the  end  of  the  mile. 

"Beat  her  record,  well  I  should  say  so. 
When  she's  cut  loose  look  fer  a  killin', 

She'sfaster'n  any  ghost,  sir, 
Ambitious,  speedy  an'  willin'. 

And  when  she  goes  out  for  a  record 
She'll  knock  down  the  talent,  an'  wipe 

All  previous  race  marks  from  the  slate,  sir, 
Just  as  certain  as  I  am  her  swipe. 

"You're  surprised  that  I  should  talk  this  way, 

An'  you  say  I'm  just  like  the  rest. 
Each  blowin'  his  nag  to  toe  sky,  sir 

An'  toutin'  her  up  fer  the  best. 

"Buta  swipe  that  won'tswearbvhis  charge,  sir, 

Tomv  wayof  thinkin'  at  least, 
Aint  worthy  of  rubbin'  a  trotter, 

Especially  this  kind  ot  a  beast." 

Then  he  fell  to  his  work  and  was  silent, 
And  I  left  him  in  pondering  mood  ; 

I  felt  that  he'd  taught  me  a  lesson 
That  could  not  work  aught  but  for  good. 

I'm  sure  that  no  king's  more  contented, 

No  banker  can  sleep  half  so  sweet 
As  the  poor,  ragged  swipe  of  my  story, 

Whom  I  attempted  in  pity  to  greet. 

He  showed  me  how  to  be  happy. 
And  wherein  the  secret  was  hidden ; 

Accept  with  an  interest  the  calling 
To  which  in  this  world  you  are  bidden.

Historic  Tomb. 


Of  the  thousands  of  racegoers  and  lovers  of 
racing  who  daily  pass  by  old  St.  Paul's  church 
on  Broadway,  few  there  are  who  realize  that 
among  the   moss-grown  tombs   in  the  time- 


honored  old  churchyard  is  one  in  memory  of    T"|\/TTD/™V'0  m    A    "KTrp 
gentleman  rider  Sam  Purdy,   who  rode  and    X-LVX-t  vyXu  X  xXiN   J. 

won  with  Eclipse  the  great  sectional  race 
against  Henry  on  the  old  Fashion  Course, 
Long  Island. 

Entering  the  old  churchyard  by  the  side 
gate  on  Fulton  street  the  tomb  is  almost 
directly  opposite  the  entrance.  It  is  of  an 
odd  pattern,  four  columns  of  blue-grey  stone 
supporting  a  broad  slab  of  the  same  material, 
on  the  edge  of  which  is  inscribed  : 

SAMUEL  PURDY, 

Born  May  14,  1775, 

Died  December  3,  1836, 

A  number  of  children  were  playing  around 
the  tombstones,  and  as  the  writer  stood  copy- 
iogthe  inscription  on  the  slap,  one  little  fel- 
low of  manly  aspect  came  up  and  quietly 
asked  the  cause  of  the  interest  displayed  in 
that  particular  tomb,  and  he  was  told,  but  ask- 
ing more  questions,  the  story  of  Sam  Purdy 
and  Eclipse  was  poured  into  his  willing  ears. 

With  both  narrator  and  listener  standing 
by  the  odd-shaped  memorial  stone,  the  young- 
ster was  told  of  that  great  race,  over  half  a 
century  ago,  when  the  North  was  pitted 
against  the  Sonth  and  sectional  feeling  ran 
high;  how,  on  the  day  of  the  great  race,  well 
nigh  every  business  house  on  Broadway  from 
Bowling  Green  to  Canal  street  was  closed, 
decorated  with  the  legend :  "Closed — every 
body  gone  to  see  Eclipse  beat  Henry,"  how  the 
Southern  horse  Henry  beat  Eclipse  the  first 
heat,  and  the  excitement  from  the  Southern 
turfmen  and  their  friends  grew  into  a  fever  of 
delirious  exultation,  and  how  Mr.  Purdy  con- 
sen  ed  to  ride  Eclipse  for  the  second  heat  and 
thejockey  who  rode  the  first  heat  gave  Purdy 
the  colors;  how  Sam  Purdy  and  Eclipse  took 
the  track  from  Henry  in  the  second  heat  and 
beat  him  out  in  gallant  fashion. 

A  ud  now  the  Northern  horse  and  Sam 
Purdy  beat  Henry  back  the  third  heat,  twelve 
miles  in  all,  in  that  three  heat  race  of  four 
miles  each.  And  now  the  eyes  that  had  glis- 
tened with  triumph  on  that  memorable  day, 
and  the  ears  that  had  drunk  in  the  intoxica- 
ting acclaim  of  nearly  100,000  pairs  of  ex- 
cited lungs,  and  the  hands  and  feet  that  have 
kept  stout  old  Eclipse  to  his  arduous  task, 
urging  him  on  to  win  the  equine  battle  for  the 
North,  were  laid  away  to  rest  beneath  this 
very  slab. 

The  boy's  big  blue  eyes  had  been  growing 
rounder  and  rounder  as  the  story  went  on,  and 
at  its  conclusion  he  said  it  was  one  of  the  best 
stories  he  bad  ever  heard.  He  said  that  he 
would  tell  it  to  his  playmates  and  their 
teacher,  and  that  between  them  they  would 
decorate  the  grave  of  the  great  horseman  with 
(lowers  on  next  Decoration  Day.

Stock  Farm  For  Sale. 

One  ol  the  finest  stock  farms  in  California,  consisting  of  about  one  hundred  acres  of  rich 
soil,  twenty  acres  of  which  in  alfalfa,  well  watered  and  fenced.  It  is  one  of  the  best-appointed 
places  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Napa  river.  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
it.  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  room6  built  in  the  latest  style, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  lime  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

Nonbetting  Owners. 


The  London  Illustrated  Sporting  and  Dra 
malic  Xews  slates  that  "  a  considerable  share 
of  the  big  races  have  been  won  this  year  by 
owners  wno  bet  little  or  not  at  all.  Mr.  Mc- 
Calmont,  who,  of  course,  at  the  head  of  winning 
owners,  bets  very  little,  though  he  had  a  treble 
event  about  Isinglass,  often  not  backing  his 
horses  for  a  shilling,  even  when  he  fancies 
them  greatly. 

"The  Duke  of  Westminster  must  be  well 
np,  with  Orme's  Eclipse  and  other  races,  and 
he  never  bets.  I  do  not  even  think  the  Duke 
of  Portland  ever  does  so  now,  though  formerly 
he  sometimss  had  enough  on  a  horse  in  a  big 
race  like  the  Derby  to  yield  a  sum  sufficient 
to  provide  presents  for  those  who  had  aided  in 
the  victory.  Mr.  Houldsworth.  who  never 
bets,  won  the  Jubilee  with  Orvieto,  Mr.  Doug- 
las Baird,  has  carried  on"  some  useful  stakes 
with  Harbinger,  and  he  ueverbets.  Whether 
or  not  Lord  Koseberry  does  so  now  I  do  not 
know.  He  was  a  great  plunger  in  former  days 
but  report  states  that  he  does  not  back  his 
horses  now,  so  that  nothing  but  the  slake  fol- 
lowed the  victories  of  Ladas. 

"  Prince  StoltykotT,  who  won  the  July  and 
Chesterfield  with  Speed,  beis  very  seldom.  At 
the  head  of  the  list  with  winning  owners,  in- 
deed, will  be  found  the  names  of  several  own- 
ers who  have  little,  or  in  some  cases  absolutely 
nothing  to  do  with  the  ring 

This  tendency,  away  from  speculative  meth- 
ods, finds  a  counterpart  with  us.  The  Messrs. 
Keene.  the  largest  American  winning  owners 
of  the  season,  patronized  the  ring  but  very 
moderately;  the  Messrs.  Morris  never  backed 
their  horses  at  all ;  Mr.  John  Hunter,  Mr. 
Galway  and  Mr.  P.  J.  Dwyer  bet  very  mod- 
erately. 

In  fact,  outside  of  such  well-known  plungers 
as  Mr.  M.  F.  Dwyer  and  Mr.G.  E.  Smith,  the 
heavy  ring  speculation  is  confined  to  the  own- 
ers of  the  smaller  stables  and  to  professional 
betlors,  although  Mr.  Lorillard's  and  Mr.  A. 
F.  Walcott's  occasional  plunges  are  feared  by 
the  ring.  The  proprietors  of  our  large  es- 
tablishments are  seemingly  contented  to  race 
for  the  very  liberal  added  money  in  the  two 
and  three-vear-old  stakes.

strong  back,  and  with  wonderfully  muscular  quarters.

admit tediv  one  of  the  best  in  the  Colonies.  Loyalist's 
3ire_The  Marquis— won  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  and 
Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  lSti2,  and  only  lost  the  Derby 
bv  a  nead.  He  was  by  the  Emperor  of  Sires— Stock- 
well— from  Cinizelli,  by  Touchstone,  who  was  one  of 
the  greatest  broodmares  in  English  turf  history,  pro- 
ducing, as  she  did,  The  Marquis,  The  Peer  <sire  of  Dar- 
ebin'i.  Towtou  (sire  of  a  host  of  winners). and  Mar- 
chioness (.winner  of  The  Oaks,  and  dam  of  the  great 
Fishhook  and  Rose  of  Denmark,  who  have  left  their 
mighty  impress  on  the  horses  of  Australia.) 

Lovalist's  dam  Loyal  Pertss  iby  The  Peer,  sire  of 
Darebio),  produced, in  addition  to  Loyalist,  Loyalstone, 
who  will  everbe  remembered  in  Australian  turf  history 
as  having  been  beaten  only  by  a  nose  by  Vengeance  in 
the  rich  Caul  field  Cup  of  1S90,  l.S  miles,  In  the  best 
time  on  record  (on  a  turf  course),  in  a  very  large  field. 
Many  people  always  contend  that  Loyalstone  really 
won  it.  Vengeance",  who  received  the  verdict,  was  by 
Newminster.  son  ot  The  Marquis, 

Loyalist  comes  of  wonderful  sire  lines,  for  apart 
from  his  truly  grand  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  he  has 
on  his  dam's  side  of  the  house  breeding  unequalled  in 
America,  if  indeed  in  the  world.  Loyal  Peeress  pro- 
duced Loyalist,  Loyalstone  and  Loyal  Lady,  the  latter 
in  turn  the  dam  of  Submission,  a  heavy  winner  in  1892. 
His  second  dam,  Loyal  Devoir,  produced  the  winner, 
Caractacus;  the  third  dan,,  Letty  West,  produced 
Glorious,  a  most  successful  Australian  sire,  and  Fitz- 
barding,  Danebury  and  Letty  Lyon,  splendid  race- 
horses ;  the  fourth  dam.  Bay  Letty,  gave  to  the  world 
Libelous  and  Letty  Long;  the  fifth  dam,  Miss  Letty, 
winner  of  the  Oaks,  produced  the  renowned  sire, 
Weatherbit,  and  ten  others,  that  were  race  horses  and 
producers,  anions  the  number  Letetia,  sixth  dam  of 
Palo  Alto's  great  colt,  Cadmus.  Loyalist's  sixth  dam, 
the  Orville  mare,  is  the  third  dam  of  that  famous 
English  sire.  Adventurer,  while  his  tenth  dam,  Pros- 
erpine, was  sister  to  the  mighty  Eclipse,  of  "Eclipse 
first,  the  rest  nowhere"  fame.

ST.    SAVIOUR,       IMP.    GREENBACK      AND      OWAS! 


St.  SAVIOUR. 

ST.  SAVIOUR  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  Si.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-j  ear-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  foar  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Slakes,  1 '-  miles,  beatimi  Che  great  Dnchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Bariian  Slakes,  1^'  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Ernest-Mimi  colt  and  fonrothersin  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Slakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium.  Stakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehose,  but  a  brother  to  the 
pbenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eolist  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savi-ur's  sire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  immortal  Learning- 
tou.  sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Se  satiou. 
St.  Saviour  has  demonstrated  bis  worth  at  the  stud,  with  compar- 
atively limited  opportunities,  and  owners  of  well-bred  mares  take 
no  cliances  in  breeding  to  such  a  tried  race  ihorse  and  sire. 

ST.  SAVIOUR'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREEXBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  In  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satar.ella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  raves  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  1  handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  field  ot 
fourteen  good  ones ;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine ;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others;  beaten  a  head  for  Members' Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Thormanby -Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian H '.;:.■.  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
early  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  and,  royally-bred 
as  he  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  be  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback. 

GREENBACK'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


OWAS. 


OWAS  is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sure  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1*93,  being  by  Reform  (son  of 
imp.  Leamington),  dam  Maggie  B.  B.,  dam  of  Iroquois,  Harold 
Franceses,  Panique  and  Okema.  Owas  is  thoroughly  untried,  never 
.  having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  full  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  be  secured  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
pr  »ve  just  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  in  the  stod.  Owas  is  a 
bay  horse,  of  good  size,  a  magnificent  individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fail  to  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  in  America,  in  all  probability.  Reform,  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Service,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner).  La  Belle  N"., 
Blnshrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  tnrf,  while  his  dam, 
Maggie  B.  B.,  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  in  America. 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  prove  what 
we  think  of  this  young  horse  it  has  been  decided  to  offer 

OWAS'  SERVICES  AT  $50. 


We  offer  Good  Pasturage  at  $4  per  Month.    Mares  will  ba  Fed  Hay  and  Grain,  if  Desired,  at  Reasonable  Bates.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  oue  In  the  handsot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


SIXTEENTH  DAT — FRIDAY,  JANUARY  26TH. 

NOTHER  bad  day  for  the  players  of 
form.  Again  four  favorites  tasted 
the  mud  of  defeat — for  there  was 
no  dust  in  sight.  The  winners  were 
not  at  quite  as  long  odds  as  thae 
of  yesterday,  bat  they  were  lorg 
enough  to  fool  most  folks.  The  at- 
tendance was  good,  over  2,C00, 
and  everyone  paid  his  or  her  big 
iron  dollar  at  the  gate  to  aid  the 
unemployed  of  the  city  with  good  grace.  Avery  neat  sum 
was  realized,  the  officials  of  the  coarse  kindly  forking  over 
their  salaries  for  the  day,  which  is  in  itself  a  considerable 
ram. 

Duke  Stevens  started  the  ball  of  trouble  for  the  talent  a- 
rolling  by  winning  the  first  race  with  odds  of  G  to  1  against 
him.  He  was  last  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  and  first 
at  the  wire  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Mestor,  an  8  to  1-er, 
getting  the  place.  Redlight,  the  favorite,  shut  up  very 
quickly  about  an  eighth  from  home,  and  finished  absolutely 
last.  The  horse  was  out  of  condition  and  was  so  badly  cut 
by  striking  himself  that  he  will  not  start  again  in  many 
weeks,  it  is  thought. 

Gussie  won  a  cracking  good  race  when  she  scooped  in  the 
second  event  on  the  day's  card.  She  was  last  until  the  half- 
pole  was  reached,  when  she  went  up  to  Motto  like  a  flash. 
The  latter  soon  had  enough,  and  Prince  Henry  fa  new-comer) 
came  on  in  the  homestretch  to  give  Gussie  battle.  The  little 
filly  stood  the  whip  well,  and  won  in  a  great  drive  by  about  a 
length.  Georgetown,  the  favorite,  finished  a  fair  sort  of 
third. 

Raphael  left  the  ranks  of  maidens  to-day,  winning  by  a 
good  ten  lengths  and  leading  all  the  way.  C-  Clancy,  who 
rode  Major  Ban,  a  heavily-played  favorite  in  this  race,  was 
set  down  for  the  meeting  and  fined  $250  besides.  Starter 
Ferguson  says  Clancy  was  not  trying  to  get  away  from  the 
post,and  this  is  the  second  time  this  sort  of  thing  has  occurred 
jn  his  case  in  the  last  few  days.  The  other  occasion  was  when 
he  rode  Realization.  To-day  Major  Ban  was  out  of  the  hunt 
in  a  twinkling,  and  Mr.  Ferguson  said  he  thought  Clancy 
should  be  severely  punished  for  his  action  (or  lack  of  action) 
at  the  post,  when  he  pulled  up  at  the  start.  Hence  the  fine  and 
suspension.  That  Raphael  would  have  won  the  race  anyhow 
few  doubt,  for  he  was  a  wild  horse  to-day.  Clancy  declares 
he  had  $250  on  Major  Ban,  that  "the  stable"  played  the 
horse  heavily  and  that  he  was  merely  trying  to  get  a  good 
send-off. 

Carmel  won  the  fourth  race  in  most  gallant  style— this  after 
Johnny  Payne  looked  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last  50 
yards. 


Royal  Flush  won  a  good  race — the  last  on  the  card — being 
seventh  passing  the  half-pole,  third  to  Sir  Reginald  and 
Green  Hock  three  furlongs  from  home  and  second  in  the 
homestretch.  Dr.  Ross  shot  up  in  the  straight  and  got  the 
place,  while  Floodmore  was  third,  eight  lengths  behind  the 
winner. 

HOW  THE  RACES  "WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race,  selling,  had  eight  starters.  Redlight  was  at 
all  times  the  favorite.  Duke  Stevens,  Annie  Moore  and 
Charger  were  at  6  to  1  each.  To  a  good  start  Charger  led, 
with  Hercules  second  and  Annie  Moore  third.  Annie  Moore 
got  her  head  in  front  passing  the  half-pole,  Hercules  second, 
a  head  from  Redlight,  who  was  as  far  from  Joe  Ellis.  The 
latter  soon  flew  to  the  fore,  leading  by  a  length  at  the  head 
of  the  homestretch,  Annie  Moore  second,  half  a  length  from 
Redlight.  Duke  Stevens,  last  into  the  straight,  moved 
up  lii  e  a  meteor,  and,Redlight  quit  like  a  steer  about  an 
eighth  from  home  when  he  looked  like  a  winner.  Duke 
Stevens,  under  whip,  steadily  gained,  and  catching  Mestor  in 
the  last  couple  of  jumps  (Joe  Ellis  having  quit)  won  by  three 
parts  of  a  length,  Mestor  second,  half  a  length  from  Joe 
Ellis.     Time,  1:07.     Redlight  was  last.

The  second  race,  seven  furlongs,  brought  out  five  starters. 
Georgetown  was  a  slight  favorite  over  Prince  Henry.  Gus- 
sie was  at  3  to  1,  Motto  6,  Clacquer  12  to  1.  Four  out  of  five 
cut  up  at  the  post,  delaying  matters  several  minutes.  At  the 
start  Prince  Henry,  Motto.  Clacquer  was  the  order.  Motto 
at  once  drew  away,  leading  at  the  quarter  by  one  and  one-half 
lengths,  Prince  Henry  second,  half  a  length  from  George- 
town. Motto  kept  her  lead  until  about  three  furlongs  from 
home,  where  Gussie,  who  had  been  steadily  improving  her 
position,  passed  her  and  led.  Gussie  led  into  the  homestretch 
by  over  a  length.  Motto  second,  two  lengths  from  Prince 
Henry,  who  was  now  moving  up  fast.  Motto  gave  up  a  little 
over  a  sixteenth  from  home,  and  Prince  Henry  came  at  Gus- 
sie, who,  under  whip,  lasted  long  enough  to  beat  him  about 
three  parts  of  a  length.  A  length  behind  Prince  Henry  came 
Georgetown,  third.     Time,  1:37.

The  third  race,  six  and  a  half  turlongs,  for  maidens,  had  a 
field  of  seven  starters.  Major  Ban  was  played  for  a  killing — 
backed  down  into  decided  favoritism,  being  rubbed  off'  most 
of  the  boards  at  the  close.  Raphael  was  a  strong  second 
choice  at  2  to  1.  The  start  was  an  unfortunate  one,  Major  Ban 
being  all  but  left  at  the  post.  Raphael  at  once  went  to  the 
front,  attended  closest  by  De  La  Guerra  and  EI  Dorado.  At 
the  half  Raphael  led  De  La  Guerra  over  a  length,  El  Dorado 
third,  two  lengths  further  back.  Raphael  drew  further  and 
further  away,  and  leading  into  the  homestretch  by  five 
lengths,  won  in  a  gallop  bv  ten,  Remus  second,  four  from  El 
Dorado,  De  La  Guerra  a  bad  fourth.  Major  Ban  made  up  a 
lot  of  grouod,  but  seeing  that  it  was  useless  to  try  to  get  any 
part  of  the  monev,  Clancy  pulled  him  up  in  the  homestretch. 
Time,  1:29*.  Clancy  was  fined  $250  for  not  getting  away 
with  Major  Ban,  which  is  pretty  severe  under  the  circum- 
stances. *

The  first  race  was  for  three-year-olds,  about  s"x  furlongs. 
Nine  started.  Morven  was  the  favorite  at  2  to  1.  Johnny 
Payne  was  at  4  to  1,  CarmeL  5  (la:ter  backed  down  from  7 
to  1.)  The  order  at  the  start  was  Carmel,  Johnny  Payne, 
Morven,  Rosalie.  Johnny  Payne  immediately  went  awav 
from  his  field,  leading  Morven  a  length  at  the  half,  two  lengths 
three  furlongs  from  home  and  four  at  the  head  of  the  home- 
stretch, where  Rosalie  was  third,  two  lengths  behind  Morven, 
Carmel  fourth.  Payne  looked  all  over  a  winner  in  the  home- 
stretch, but  Carmel  was  sent  along  now,  and  such  a  burst  did 
he  show  that  shouts  went  up  that  he  wouid  win  seventy-five 
yards  from  the  wire.  In  the  verv  last  jump  Carmel  won  by 
a  short  head,  Johnnv  Payne  second,  three  lengths  from  Mor- 
ven, who  beat  Fortuna  a  length.  Time,  1:19J.

The  last  event  on  the  day's  card  was  a  five-furlong  selling 
race.  Royal  Flush  and  Sir  Reginald  divided  favoritism  at 
2  to  1  each.  Green  Hock  was  next  in  demand  at  b*  to  1.  To 
a  fair  start  Morris  rushed  Sir  Reginald  to  the  front,  leading 
Green  Hock  two  lengths  at  the  half-pole,  Dr.  Ross  third.  Sir 
Reginald  came  back  to  his  field  in  the  next  furlong  a  bit  and 
Royal  Flush  had  run  up  into  third  place  and  was  coming 
like  a  shot.  The  old  white-faced  Hooker  gelding  led  to  the 
homestretch  by  a  length,  aod  Royal  Flush  was  now  second, 
two  lengths  from  Dr.  Ross,  Green  Hock  dropping  out  of  the 
hunt.  Royal  Flush  soon  drew  away,  and.  leading  Dr.  Ross 
two  lengths  at  the  final  eighth,  won  handily  by  one  and  a 
half  lengths,  while  Dr.  Ross  was  second,  six  lengths  in  front

SEVENTEENTH   DAY — SATURDAY,  JANUARY  27. 

Notwithstanding  the  fact  that  the  gate  of  the  Midwinter 
Fair  opened  today,  the  races  were  exceedingly  well  attended 
this  beautiful  day.  The  number  present  was  not  a  whit 
short  of  4,000.  The  course  was  still  sticky  and  at  its  slowest, 
but  the  racing  was  most  excellent  in  character.  Two  favorites. 
a  second  choice  aod  two  long  shots,  showed  their  noses  to 
the  judges  first  at  the  finish,  so  that  the  bookmakers  had 
a  trifle  the  best  of  the  deal.  The  successful  jockeys  were 
Spence,  C.  Weber,  Taylor,  Blakeley  and  Lloyd.  Orville 
Appleby,  than  whom  there  is  no  cleverer  trainer  on  this 
coast,  started  three  horses  to-day.  Two  of  them  won  and  the 
other  ran  second,  which  is  a  showing  that  anyone  should  be 
proud  of. 

Conde  won  the  second  race  very  haudily.  Zaragoza  led 
by  from  two  to  three  lengths  to  the  head  of  the  homestretch, 
where  Conde  came  up,  gave  the  Gonzales  horse  the  slip  and 
won  easily  by  two  lengths.  Blizzard  ran  up  from  fifth  place 
and  got  second  money  by  a  length  from  Zaragoza.  Inferno, 
at  one  time  the  favorite,  did  not  improve  his  position  a 
particle. 

Charley  Weber  won  the  second  race.  His  mount,  Duke 
Stevens,  last  away,  soon  ran  to  the  front,  opened  up  a  gap  of 
three  lengths  on  Royal  Flush  in  the  firs',  eighth,  sulked  near 
the  half  and  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  little  Weber 
beating  a  devil's  tattoo  on  his  broad  chestnut  rump  with  hi? 
whip.  An  eighth  from  home  it  looked  dollars  to  goo 
that  Royal  Flush  would  win,  but  a  heivierdose  of  whip  than 
usual  made  his  grace  come  away  again  with  a  tine  burs', 
speed  and  win  by  two  lengths  from  the  tiring  Royal  I

[February  3, 1894 


It  was  a  fine  display  of  horsemanship  on  Charley  Weber's 
part,  and  nearly  everyone  declared  that  it  was  the  youth  that 
won  the  race. 

The  third  race  was  a  beauty.  George  L.  led  up  to  the  last 
100 yards,  where  Viceroy  and" Queen  Beecame  up  and  gave 
battle  to  the  leaders.  In  a  beautiful  fin/sb  Viceroy  won  by  a 
head  from  George  L  ,  who  beat  Queen  Bee  as  far.  Jennie 
Deaue,  "the good  thing,"  ran  fifth  to  the  homestretch,  and 
was  then  pulled  up. 

Cicero  won  the  General  Arthur  Cigar  Stakes  Steeplechase 
by  a  nose  from  LoDgwell.  The  race  was  the  prettiest  and 
most  exciting  of  the  sort  ever  seen  on  the  local  course.  The 
two  sons  of  Longfellow  jumped  the  last  hurdle  necks  apart, 
Cicero  leading.  Longwell  did  not  go  over  the  obstacle  cleanly, 
striking  the  top  of  the  hurdle  with  his  hind  feet,  and  this  as- 
suredly cost  him  the  race.  Mclnerny  gave  the  old  gelding 
the  whip  in  hard  doses  near  the  finish,  aud  he  gained  inch  by 
inch  on  Cicero,  on  whom  Blakeley  was  riding  with  all  the 
skill  he  was  possessed  of,  which  is  considerable.  Cicero  just 
managed  to  win  the  stake  by  a  nose.  Verily  the  Longfellows 
are  game  to  thecore. 

Altus,  a  lODg  shot  that  was  well-played,  ran  fourth  to  the 
homestretch,  where  he  came  awayandwon  easily  by  three 
lengths  from  the  punchedout  Red  Bird,  who  managed  to 
beat  Ravine  a  neck  for  the  place.  Silver  Plate  led  for  about  a 
quarter  of  a  mile,  then  shut  up  like  a  ''  cold-blooded  crittur" 
and  liuished  last  of  all. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Inferno  was  for  a  time  favorite  in  the  opening  race,  about 
six  furlongs,  but  lack  of  support  sent  his  odds  back  a  point 
and  Conde  was  made  favorite  toward  the  close.  Blizzard  was 
at  4  to  1,  the  others  from  7  to  100  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  Zara- 
goza  led,  with  Conde  second  and  Inferno  third.  At  the  half- 
pole  Zaragoza  led  by  three  leDglhs,  Conde  second,  half  a 
length  from  Clacouer.  Conde  commenced  going  up  to  Zara- 
goza  nearing  the  homestretch,  aad  catching  the  bald-faced 
horse  about  an  eighth  from  home,  Conde  came  on  and  won 
easily  by  two  lengths.  Blizzard,  fifth  at  the  start  and  passing 
the  half,  came  very  fast  in  the  straight  and  got  the  place  by  a 
length  from  Zaragoza.     Inferno  was  fourth.    Time,  1:18.

The  second  race,  seven  furlongs,  selling,  had  five  starters. 
For  some  time  it  was  9  to  5  each  Duke  Stevens  and  Royal 
Flush,  3  to  1  The  Kitten,  7  to  1  Flurry  and  20  to  1  Content- 
ment. Royal  Flush  finally  became  the  favorite  at  8  to  5, 
Duke  Stevens  2  to  1.  To  a  fair  start,  in  which  Duke  Stevens 
was  last,  but  running,  they  went  away.  At  the  quarter  pole 
Duke  Stevens  had  got  through  aud  opened  a  gap  of  three 
lengths  on  Royal  Flush,  and  The  Kitten  was  third.  Royal 
Flush  gained  perceptibly  on  Duke  Stevens,  and  the  latter 
went  to  sulking  near  the  half-pole.  Up  went  his  flag  and 
down  came  the  whip  on  the  contrary  son  of  the  Duke  of  Nor- 
folk. He  drew  away  again,  and  when  Royal  Flush  drew  up 
close  he  adopted  his  old  tactics.  Again  little  Weber  gave 
bim  the  gad,  and  for  a  moment  he  went  away.  Once  more 
Royal  Flush  came  up,  and  an  eighth  of  a  mile  from  home  a 
good  judge  of  racing  would  not  have  given  a  nickel  in  a  $100 
pool  for  Duke  Stevens'  chances.  Charley  Weber,  however, 
never  let  up  on  his  grace,  and  to  the  surprise  of  nine  out  of 
every  len  he  came  away  from  Royal  Flush  (who  tired  badly) 
and  won  by  two  lengths.  The  Kitten  was  a  poor  third,  five 
lengths  behind  Royal  Flush.    Time,  1:34.

The  third  race,  five  furlongs,  selling,  had  ten  starters.  One 
Dime  and  Jennie  Deane  divided  favoritism  at  2  to  1  each. 
Viceroy's  highest  odds  were  10  to  1,  and  he  went  to  the  post 
at  10  to  1.  At  the  start,  which  was  a  good  one,  the  order 
was  One  Dime,  Stoneman,  George  L.  At  the  half-pole 
George  L.  was  leading  by  a  length,  Queen  Bee  second,  a  head 
from  Monarch,  Viceroy  fourth,  the  latter  having  run  up  from 
seventh  place.  George  L.  went  away  from  his  field,  and  was 
two  lengths  to  the  good  three  furlougs  from  home.  He  now 
came  back  to  his  field,  and  was  only  half  a  length  to  the  good 
as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch,  Queen  Bee  second,  half 
a  length  from  Viceroy.  This  trio  ran  close  together  up  to 
the  last  100  yards,  where  George  L.  appeared  to  be  winning. 
Under  the  whip,  however,Viceroy  came  out  like  a  true  grand- 
son of  Bonnie  Scotland,  and  won  by  a  head  from  George  L , 
who  was  as  far  from  Queen  Bee.  It  was  one  of  the  prettiest 
races  seen  here  for  some  days.     The  time  was  1:07.

The  General  Arthur  Cigar  Stakes,  handicap  steeplechase, 
$1,600  guaranteed  by  the  local  agent  of  the  firm  that  manu- 
factures this  excellent  cigar,  M.  A.  Gunst,  came  next.  It 
was  over  the  full  steeplechase  course,  about  two  and  a  quar- 
ter miles,  and  the  Oorrjgan  stable  (Cicero  and  Mariner)  was 
favorite  at  3  to  •>.  Longwell  and  Ballarat  were  each  3  to  1 
shots  at  the  close.  Mariner  at  once  Bailed  to  the  fore,  leadinfi 
Longwell  bysix  length*  ;it  the  fur  center-field  jump  and  by 
fifleen  over  the  water  jump,  Cicero  only  a  small  margin  be- 
hind Longwell,  Hallarat  last,  under 'a  pull.  Around  the 
coarse  again  they  went,  and  making  the  next  two  jumps 
I  hey  gained  o  i  Mariner,  who  dropped  out  of  the  hunt  com- 
ing up  the  hill  to  the  water-jump  for  the  second  Lime  Long- 
well  soon  took  command,  atleudeil  very  closely  bv  Hallarat, 
who  got  his  head  in  front  for  a  time.  Going  up  the  hill  to 
the  regular  track  Longwell  went   to   the   fore,  with  Hallarat 


and  Cicero  close  upon  him.  The  latter  gained  fast  as  they 
neared  the  summit,  and  came  out  into  the  regular  track  two 
lengths  in  front  of  Longwell,  Ballarat  dead-beat.  The  riders 
of  Cicero  and  Longwell  now  rode  like  demons,  and  as  they 
reached  the  last  obstacle  Cicero  was  leading  the  other  son  of 
Longfellow  but  a  neck.  Longwell,  ho  vever,  struck  the  lop 
of  the  last  hurdle  with  his  hind  feet,  and  Cicero  gained  by  the 
operation.  Mclnerny  went  to  the  whip.  Twice  he  struck 
his  mount  savagely,  and  the  game  gelding  got  up  to  Cicero's 
neck.  Inch  by  inch  he  gained,  both  riders  doing  their  ut- 
most, and  in  the  most  exci'ing  finish  ever  seen  in  a  race  of  this 
sort  iu  California,  Cicero,  game  to  the  core,  won  by  the  shortest 
sort  oi  nose  from  Longwell,  who  was  thirty-three  lengths  be- 
fore Ballarat.  Time,  5:33A,  the  fastest  time  yet  made  over 
the  full  course.  Cicero  was  a  very  tired  horse  after  this  race. 
The  handicapper  is  to  be  congratulated  on  his  work.

EIGHEEENTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  JANUARY  30. 

Beautiful  weather  brought  a  goodly  attendance  to  the 
course  this  afternoon,  and  some  excellent  contests  were  wit- 
nessed. The  sun  dried  up  the  track  fast,  but  it  was  still  very 
heavy  from  the  recent  showers — perhaps  four  seconds  to  the 
mile.  Three  favorites  and  two  second  choices  finished 
first,  so  that  tbe  speculative  students  of  form  had  a  very 
pleasant  time  with  the  dollars  of  the  dear  pencilers.  And 
speaking  of  bookmakers,  two  or  three  firms  were  conspicuous 
by  their  absence.  While  the  members  are  not  broke,  their 
bank  accounts  are  said  to  have  been  badly  bent  by  the  talent 
recently. 

Remus  won  the  first  race  and  left  the  maiden  ranks  in  fine 
style  to-day.  Getting  away  well,  he  soon  opened  up  a  big  gap, 
and  kept  the  daylight  space  between  himself  and  competitors 
to  the  end.  Ravine  got  the  place  as  easily  as  Remus  won, 
and  Catch  'Em,  a  new  one,  beat  Flagstaff  out  of  the  show 
money — because  Leigh  went  to  sleep. 

The  second  race  was  a  sure-enough  beauty.  Grafton  led 
to  the  homestretch,  where  Ja  Ja  and  Conde,  who  had  been 
running  back  in  the  middle  of  the  procession,  came  like 
streaks,  and  the  finish  saw  Ja  Ja  first  by  a  head,  Conde  sec- 
ond, a  neck  in  front  of  Grafton.  Motto  ran  quite  promi- 
nently for  about  half  a  mile  but  fell  away  toward   the  close. 

Joe  Murphy,  second  choice,  laid  back  third  to  Duke 
Stevens  and  Romair,  in  the  third  race,  until  nearing  the 
homestretch,  when  he  shot  by  the  pair,  Duke  Stevens  sulking. 
Leigh  thought  he  had  a  picnic,  and  Charley  Weber,  setting 
to  work  on  Duke  Stevens,  brought  him  up  again,  and  was 
beaten  but  a  head  at  the  finish,  while  Romair  was  less  than  a 
length  behind  the  winner. 

Morven  beat  Fly,  tbat  that  came  from  the  6table  of  B.C. 
Holly,  by  the  smallest  margin  possible,  and  the  backers  of 
Morven  nearly  had  a  fit  while  waiting  for  the  verdict.  It 
took  the  judges  to  decide  who  had  won,  for  an  ordinary  on- 
looker could  not  do  so.  Fly  led  Morven  into  the  home- 
stretch by  a  good  two  lengths.  The  others  were  absolutely 
not  in  the  hunt.  Fly  was  at  40  to  1  in  several  books,  but 
will  scarcely  be  at  those  odds  the  next  time  he  starts. 

The  last  race  was  taken  by  Zenobia  quite  easily.  She  was  a 
1  to  4  chance.  Clara  White  gave  herquite  a  race.  Emma  D. 
ran  away  many  times,  driving  the  assemblage  almost  into 
spasms. 

The  successful  jockeys  today  were  E.  Morris,  Jordan  and 
Leigh.  The  latter  covered  himself  with  great  glory  by  riding 
no  less  than  three  winners. 

HOW  THE   RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race  was  for  three-year-olds,  five  furlongs.  Belle 
Platte  was  the  favorite  at  2\  to  1,  Remus  second  choice  at 

3  to  1,  Laline  next  in  demand  at  4  to  1.  Ravine  was  well- 
pliyed  for  place,  he  being  at  2  to  1  for  place.  Flagstaff  and 
Belle  Platte  delayed  the  start  for  sometime  by  refusing  to  go 
up.  Remus,  Ravine,  Flagstaff^  Catch  'Em  was  the  order  to  a 
fair  start.  Remus  led  passing  the  half  by  three  length,  Flag- 
staff' second,  two  from  Belle  Platte,  third,  a  length  from 
Ravine.  I\emus  was  not  headed,  and  leading  three  lengths 
at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  drew  further  away  and  won 
easily  by  eight  lengths.  Flagstaff' ran  second  up  to  within 
an  eighth  of  a  mile  from  home,  where  Ravine  came  up  and 
took  second  place.  Leigh  did  not  persevere  with  Flagstaff, 
and  Catch  'Em  got  third  place,  two  lengths  in  front  of 
Brown's  gelding  ami  six  lengths  in  front  of  Ravine.

A  field  of  ten  faceed  Starter  Ferguson  in  the  second  race, 
five  and  a  half  furlongs,  nine  being  scratched.  Ja  Ja  was 
favorite,  backed  from  3  down  to  2  to  1.  Next  in  demand  was 
Grafton  at  3  to  1.  Conde  was  at  4  to  1.  Grafton  cut  up 
badly  at  the  post,  being  as  obstinate  as  a  mule.  Finally  the 
Mag  fell  to  a  fair  start,  and  the  order  was  Annie  Moore,  Graf-

was  three  lengths  in  Iront  of  Winifred,  on  whom  Ja  Ja  was 
lapped.  Grafton  led  into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths, 
Annie  Moore  second,  Motto  third.  Madison  was  sending  Ja 
Ja  along  at  his  best,  and  getting  into  the  straight  fifth,  he 
soon  cut  down  Graftou's  lead,  getting  up  to  his  neck  an 
eighth  from  home.  Conde  was  now  coming  like  a  shot,  and

phy, at  2i  to  I,  was  second  choice,  while  Duke  Stevens  closed

Romair,  Duke  Stevens,  Joe  Murphy  was  the  order.  At  the 
half-pole  Duke  Stevens  was  leading  by  a  length,  Romair  sec- 
ond, as  far  from  Joe  Murphy.  Duke  Stevens  held  his  lead  to 
the  head  of  the  homestretch,  where  Joe  Murphy,  who  had 
run  up  second,  was  a  length  in  front  of  Romair.  Joe  Mur- 
phy came  away  in  the  straight,  and  was  clear  of  Duke  Stevens 
an  eighth  from  home,  Stevens  half  a  length  from  Romair. 
Murphy  simply  galloped  the  rest  of  the  way,  but  under  whip 
Duke  Stevens  came  up  and  got  within  a  head  of  him  at  the 
finish.  Romair  was  third,  only  half  a  length  behind  Duke

An  interest  is  always  awakened  in  the  minds  of  all  horse- 
men when  the  familiar  names  of  great  stallions  are  mentioned, 
and  when  two  of  the  greatest,  such  as  Red  Wilkes,  son  of  the 
mighty  George  Wilkes,  and  Dictator,  the  brother  to  Dexter 
are  pointed  out  as  the  immediate  or  near  ancestors  on  the  pa- 
ternal and  maternal  lines  of  a  young  horse,  Ihe  interest  in  him 
becomes  more  absorbing.  The  chestnut  four-year-old  stallion 
Dictatus,  that  is  advertised  in  this  issue,  is  bred  in  the  purple 
and  as  his  bloodlines  differ  from  those  of  any  other  sire  on 
the  Coast,  owners  of  mares  that  are  sired  bv  what  we  all  call 
California  sires,  should  carefully  stu  ly  his  pedigree  and  if 
possible,  visit  Ihe  Belmont  Stock  Farm  and  see  this  choictly- 
bred  youngster.  His  manager,  Clarence  Day,  intends  to

FIRST    CARE    OF     THE     FOALS. 


Some    Simple   and    Valuable    Instructions    Re- 
garding the  Early  Treatment  of  the 
New    Arrivals. 


The  time  for  foals  to  come  will  soon  be  here,  and  their 
proper  treatment  and  care  is  a  matter  of  the  greatest  impor- 
tance. Even  in  large  breeding  establishments,  where  veter- 
inarians; are  constantly  on  hand,  men  who  from  %heir  oppor- 
tunities have  been  able  to  make  aspecial  study  of  the  subject, 
this  period  is  always  one  of  anxiety,  and  how  much  graver  is 
the  problem  that  confronts  the  small  breeder  who  has  only  a 
few  mares  due  to  foal,  and  who  often  has  no  professional 
assistance  at  hand  or  within  call.  •  It  is  to  the  latter  class  that 
this  article  wilLbe  most  valuable,  as  it  has  been  secured  with 
an  eye  to  thain  needs,  though  no  doubt  many  veterinarians 
will  read  it  witfa  mtei$st  and  perhaps  pro6t. 

The  greatest  possible  c!lre  should  be  given  the  young  foal, 
that  it  may  not  in  its  first  few  hours  contract  disease.  The 
breeder  need  not  become  seriously  alarmed  because  of  this 
ominous  saying,  for,  in  truth,  the  whole  question  resolves 
itself  into  p'acing  the  foal  in  the  condition  intended  by 
nature.  Turn  back  to  nature  for  advice  and  counsel  must 
be  the  ultimate  advice  to  the  too  aggressive  breeder.  Foals 
are  protected  from  disease  through  the  ready  application 
of  properly  administered  remedies.  This  is  true.  It  is 
equally  true  that  foals  are  destroyed  by  applications  misap- 
applied  aud  remedies  bunglingly  administered  by  over-anx- 
ious owners  and  attendants.  Do  not  be  too  anxious  to  render 
assistance,  and  do  not  be  too  ready  to  apply  powerful  remed- 
ial agents ;  permit  the  laws  of  nature  to  govern,  and  if  the 
environments  are  in  harmony  with  health  it  is  a  hundred  to 
one  that  the  foal  will  pass  from  inception  to  the  race  track 
without  costing  a  dollar  for  medicine  or  medical  advice. 

"What  are  proper  environments?"  may  be  the  question 
propounded  by  a  young  breeder.  Nature  cannot iu  such  mat- 
ters be  improved  upon,  and  hence  a  careful  study  of  her  laws 
will  give  one  a  better  insight  into  the  question  of  proper  en- 
vironments that  can  be  obtained  from  the  pages  of  the  most 
elaborately-written  treatise.  The  aggressive  breeder,  desir- 
ing foals  in  January,  or  at  any  time  before  May  (in  the  North) 
must  take  rare  caution  to  prevent  the  presence  of  any  germ- 
carrying  matter ;  cleanliness  of  the  most  rigid  character  must 
be  the  watchword  of  the  hour  ;  for  ninety  percent,  of  the  ills 
that  inflict  colthood  can  be  traced  directly  to  germs  that  find 
ingress  to  the  young  foals  through  the  navel,  because  that  un- 
protected part  (before  drying  and  searing)  comes  in  contact 
with  iilib,  the  hot-bed  of  disease  germs.  Sawdust  is  the  finest 
bed  for  receiving  the  young  foal  that  can  be  provided  arti- 
6cially;  it  is  better  than  straw,  cleaner,  and  the  resinous 
odor  seems  conducive  to  cleanliness  because  of  its  antiseptic 
properties.  Grass  is  Nature's  bed  and  the  breeder  who  is  will- 
ing to  wait  until  May  for  his  crop  of  foals  will  meet  with  less 
mortality  and  sufier  less  inconvenience  than  his  brother 
breeder  who  is  ambitious  to  rear  "long"  yearlings. 

The  period  of  the  greatest  danger  to  an  animal  is  the  first 
few  days  of  iU  existence,  before  the  animal  economy  uas  been 
accustomed  to  the  surroundings  imposed  upon  it  at  birth,  at 
which  time  all  environments  are  radically  changed ;  the 
function  of  some  organs  of  the  highest  importance  during 
fetal  life  must  now  be  abolished  or  greatly  curtailed  in  im- 
portance, while  organs  that  have  remained  dormant  up  to 
birth  must  take  responsible  parts  in  the  maintenance  of  life. 
Chief  among  these  in  pointof  danger  to  the  life  of  the  young 
animal  are  those  in  connection  with  the  organs  directly  con- 
cerned in  nutrition,  before  and  after  birth,  and  a  careful 
study  of  the  mortality  of  young  foals  will  show  that  fully 
ninety  per  cent,  of  it  is  referable  to  the  changes  in  these  or- 
gans necessitated  by  birth. 

Bearing  in  mind  that  after  the  rupture  of  the  navel  vein 
of  a  yotiug  animal  it  remains  comparatively  open,  it  will  be 
readily  understood  that  there  is  good  opportunity  offered  for 
the  entrance  of  these  disease-producing  germs,  which,  once 
in  the  ve?sel,  find  a  location  highly  suitable  for  their  multi- 
plication. In  this  rich  breeding-ground  their  progress  may 
be  limited  to  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  navel  by  a  firm 
blood  clot  or  plug  in  the  vein,  or  this  barrier  proving 
inadequate,  these  germs  may  multiply  or  extend  along  the 
course  of  the  vessel,  soon  reaching  and  gaining  entrance  to 
the  liver,  and  thence  these  germs  and  their  products  are 
rapidly  dcsseminated  throughout  the  entire  system  by  the 
irrent. 

Should  the  entrance  of  these  germs  and  their  products  into 
the  general  circulation  be  effectually  barred  by  a  firm  clot  in 
the  navel  vein,  there  appears  at  the  navel  in  one  to  several 
weeks  after  birth  a  considerable  hard  swelling,  which  later 
softens  and  breaks,  discharging  pus,  and  if  properly  cared 
for  eventually  heals  without  producing  serious  results. 

If,  however,  the  blood  clot  in  the  vein  proves  an  ineffectual 
barrier  againKt  the  invasion  of  the  micro-organisms,  and 
these  gain  entrance  with  their  products  into  the  general 
circulation  in  considerable  quantity,  they  promptly  inaugu- 
rate senilis  systematic  disturbances,  and  the  foal  from  two 
to  five  days  old,  which  has  previously  appeared  in  perfect 
health,  suddenly  refuses  the  mother's  milk,  becomes  dull, 
stupid,  aud  listless,  with  drooping  ears,  a  pinched,  painful 
expression,  rapid  breathing,  great  weakness,  constipation  of 
(he  bowelH,  which  mav  be  early  followed  by  diarrhoea,  high 
fever,  etc.  These  symptoms,  which  in  many  cases  prove 
rapidly  fatal,  are  probably  due  to  the  poisonous  product 
(ptomaines)  of  the  disease  germs  themselves. 

Generally,  in  cases  which  do  not  prove  rapidly  fatal,  these 
primary  symptoms  abate  somewhat  in  a  few  days,  or  in  milder 
Cases  the  above  related  condition  passes  unnoticed,  when  a 
wholly  different  and  exceedingly  varied  train  of  symptoms 
of  no  less  serious  import  Inan  the  former  are  developed,  due 
t 'i  the  lodging  of  aggregations  (emboli)  of  the  disease  germs  in 
some  of  the  one  bl I    <    ell 

In  this  wav  occur  sudden  and  severe  inflammations  of  the 
various  joints,  attributed  generally  tolhe  dam  treading  upon 
the  foal's  legs  when  down.  The  joints  most  commonly  af- 
fectedare  those  of  thcalitle,  hock,  elbow  and  knee.  The  af- 
fected joints  are  swollen;  hot,  painful;  appear  suddenly, 
sometime!  di  i  li  equally  abrupt,  and  reappear  again  in 
tberart'u  ilation.  They  may  suppurate  and  result  in 
an  open  joint,  which,  if  healed,  will  leave  the  joint  slifl  and 
enlarged. 


The  suggestion  naturally  follows  that  the  freshly-severed 
naval  cord  should  be  carefully  guarded  against  infection  un- 
til it  is  hermetically  sealed  by  drying,  and  if  this  be  done,  ex- 
perience has  shown  that  the  disease  cannot  occur,  but  these 
precautions  must  be  taken  early,  and  as  soon  as  possible  after 
birth,  as  infection  may  occur  very  quickly,  and  oncelbegerms 
have  gained  an  entrance  into  the  cord  the  drying  of  it  is  of 
no  avail,  so  that  manv  cases  of  disease  occur  in  which  there 
are  no  noticeable  symptoms  of  local  trouble. 

Another  trouble  that  has  caused  breeders  much  annoyance 
is  bowel  difficulty. 

Diarrhiea,when  not  due  to  constipation  or  infection  through 
the  navel,  is  generally  caused  by  the  taking  of  too  great  a 
quantity  of  milk,  and  not  infrequently  to  the  eating  of  hay, 
straw,  etc.,  when  the  foal  has  not  yet  the  necessary  teeth  for 
masticating  such  food,  and  the  stomach  and  bowels  are  not 
sufficiently  developed  for  digestion.  In  foals  that  have  died 
ofdiarrluea  will  be  seen  large  |accumulations  of  unchewed 
hay  wadded  together  in  the  stomach,  while  in  other  cases  the 
discharges  are  mixed  with  broken,  undigested  straws,  which 
act  as  a  serious  irritation  In  other  cases  it  is  due  to  unhealthy 
milk,  eitherfrom  ill-heal(h,  improper  feeeing  or  over-heating 
of  the  dam.  Allowing  free  access  to  the  mare  after  the  foal 
has  been  kept  from  her  until  very  hungry  is  a  fertile  source 
of  the  disease. 

A  study  of  the  causes  of  diarrhea  suggests  rational  means 
for  preventing.  The  prevention  or  relief  of  constipation  re- 
moves one  fertile  source  of  diarrhoea,  while  partially  milking 
the  mare  at  proper  times  effectually  prevents  over-eating, 
and  the  eating  by  the  foal  of  hay,  straw  and  rubbish  should 
be  prevented  by  placing  in  a  clean  pasture,  where  such 
mats-rial  is  not  available.or  if  kept  in  the  stable  or  barnyard, 
by  muzzling  and  thus  confining  it  strictly  to  a  moderate  al- 
lowance of  its  mother's  milk. 

It  is  of  the  utmost  importance  that  broodmares  should  be 
kept  in  first-class  order,  for  in  no  other  way  is  it  possible  to 
produce  a  healthy  foal.  Often  it  is  beard  that  a  mare  poor 
in  flesh  will  produce  a  fat  foal,  a  fat  mare  a  poor  foal,  all  of 
which  may  be  relegated  to  the  garret  of  suppressed  supersti- 
tion. Health  must  be  present,  and  starvation  and  poverty  are 
not  the  companions  of  robust  health,  soundness  of  fibre,tissue 
and  procreative  organs. — Horseman. 

Broodmare  Sires. 


Why  do  some  horses  excel  as  progenitors  of  speed,  but  fail 
to  breed  them?  Why  are  others  famous  because  of  speed 
produced  through  the  male  line  transmitted  to  the  sons, while 
others  become  famous  through  the  female  line  and  are  what 
we  term  broodmare  sires?  It  is  rare  that  a  horse  excels  or 
becomes  famous  through  both  the  male  and  female  lines,  the 
most  notable  exception  being  Hambletonian,  a  horse  of  al- 
most perfect  balance,  both  mentally  and  physically. 

It  has  come  to  be  a  recognized  fact  that  the  best  results  in 
breeding  are  attained  when  the  produce  is  well  balanced,  or 
in  other  words  when  the  *wo  halves  united  form  a  perfect 
whole.  What  we  term  a  "  nick  "  implies  that  the  influence 
of  the  sire  and  dam  harmonize,  each  contributing  to  supply 
the  deficiency  of  the  other.  This  is  the  real  secret  of  the  good 
results  obtained  by  uniting  certain  families,  and  to  my  way 
of  thinking,  aside  from  the  gait,  the  main  factors  are  a  good 
brain,  or,  as  we  say,  a  level  head  and  a  stock  of  nervous 
energy. 

Our  greatest  sires  of  speed  have  been  horses  of  even  tem- 
perament or  even  of  phlegmatic  disposition,  while  some  of 
the  most  notable  failures  as  speed  producers  were  horses  of 
nervous,  excitable  disposition,  or  possessing  an  excess  of  ner- 
vous energy.  When  a  mare  possessing  these  characteristics 
is  bred  to  such  a  horse  what  could  be  expected  but  produce 
that  would  be  what  we  term  a  crazy-headed  fool.  On  the 
other  hand,  if  we  breed  a  dull  mare  to  a  dull,  lazy  horse  we 
should  scarcely  expect  the  produce  to  show  much  spirit  or 
energy. 

It  is  my  opinion  that  this  nervous  energy  is  the  factor  in 
speed,  no  matter  what  the  gait.  It  is  an  essential  quality  in 
man  or  beast.  Our  greatest  race  drivers  are  nervous  men, 
Who  that  has  seen  Orrin  Hickok  in  or  out  of  the  sulky  need 
be  told  that  he  is  full  of  nervous  energy?  The  late  James 
Goldsmith  was  a  highly-nervous  man,  and  this  brought  on  his 
untimely  death.  Easygoing  men  do  not  die  of  nervous  pros- 
traction.  Splan,  Turner,  Golden,  every  trainer  that  has  won 
his  way  to  the  head  of  the  procession,  has  had  a  strong  in- 
fusion of  nervous  energy  in  his  nature. 

The  great  broodmares  have  generally  been  those  having  a 
high  nervous  organization.  The  self-willed  nervous  mares 
that  have  thrown  speed  are  legion,  while  it  is  rare  that  an 
easy-going  one  produces  a  world  beater.  It  seems  to  be  a 
law  of  nature  that  the  sire  furnishes  the  gait  or  motive  power 
and  the  head  or  brains  to  utilize  this  power,  while  the  dam 
furnishes  the  steam  or  energy  that  drives  the  machine.  If  we 
have  an  excess  of  this  steam  the  motive  power  becomes  un- 
balanced, but  a  steady  brain  transmitted  by  a  sire  seems  to 
hold  this  in  check. 

As  before  stated,  this  energy  or  motive  power  is  just  as  es- 
sential to  produce  winners  or  extreme  speed  at  one  gait  as 
another.  Perhaps  all  readers  know  -that  the  once-famous 
trotting  mare  Favonia  {2:15  to  high  wheels)  and  the  noted 
race  horse  Sal  valor,  that  holds  the  world's  record  for  one 
mile,  both  trace  to  the  same  grandam.  In  these  days  of  the 
bike  Favonia  would  have  been  in  the  2:10  list,  and  readers 
will  recall  what  a  good  mare  she  was,  always  ready  to  try  and 
win  and  to  try  again  as  often  as  asked.  She  was  a  light 
feeder,  too,  and  but  for  her  will  power  would  have  been  a 
very  ordinary  performer. 

We  know  she  was  sired  by  the  good,  game,  level-headed 
horse  Wedgewood  (2:19),  and  yet  he  cannot  be  entitled  to  all 
the  credit,  for  on  the  maternal  side  Favonia  traced  to  one  of 
Ihe  most  noted  female  lines  in  turf  history.  The  grandam, 
Lightsome,  bred  to  Alexander's  Abdullah,  produced  thedam 
of  Favonia,  and  bred  to  Lexington  she  produced  the  dam  of 
Salvator.  Does  any  reader  suppose  the  same  forces  were  not 
potent  in  producing  extreme  speed  iu  one  the  same  as  iu  the 
other ',' 

Going  one  step  farther  back  we  find  one  of  the  most  famous 
matrons  known  in  the  annals  of  racing,  a  mare  so  famous  for 
producing  fpeed  that  her  offspring  came  to  be  known  as  the 
Levity  family.  The  nervous  energy  that  made  Levity  a  great 
speed  producer  was  equally  potent  in  the  current  from  her 
daughter  Lightsome,  that  divided  and  united  with  thorough 
blood  produced  the  greatest  race  horse  of  modern  times,  and 


the  other  current,  united  with  trotting  blood,  produced  one 
of  the  best  race  mares  ever  seen  on  the  trotting  turf. 

If  I  am  right  in  this  deduction,  and  it  seems  clearly  proven 
then  this  nervous  energy  or  subtle  power,  call  it  what  we  may, 
is  the  one  essential  necessary  to  extreme  speed  of  race  horses;, 
no  matter  what  the  gait.  The  essential  factor  in  the  winner, 
be  it  trotter,  pacer  or  runner,  is  the  same.  As  a  matter  of 
fact,  a  horse  with  afair  amount  of  nervous  energy  will  draw 
a  plough  or  a  stage-coach  better  than  a  dull,  cold-blooded 
horse  will.  A  cross  of  thorough  blood  makes  the  best  horse 
for  even  farm  work. 

It  follows,  then,  if  this  quality  of  nervous  energy  is  the 
prime  factor  in  the  great  brood  mare,  the  broad-mare  sire, 
par  excellence,  is  the  horse  that  imparts  this  quality,  just  as 
experience  has  shown  that  the  greatest  sire6  of  direct  speed 
have  been  horses  that  imparted  rather  an  easy-going  tem- 
perament. This  is  the  reason,  then,  that  a  sire  rarely  excels 
through  hoth  the  male  and  female  lines.  The  qualities  that 
have  brought  the  highest  success  to  each  are  entirely  different 
and  rarely  proceed  from  the  same  source. 

Hambletonian  was  an  inception  in  that  his  breeding  was 
reversed,  and  his  sire,  Abdallah,  imparted  the  nervous  energy, 
while  the  ,blood  of  Bellfounder,  through  his  dam,  furnished 
the  balance  wheel.  The  best  endorsement  of  this  is  the  fact 
that  Abdallah  never  sired  another  son  that  became  noted  as 
a  sire  of  speed,  and  his  direct  descendants  in  the  2:30  list  num- 
ber only  three,  while  his  daughters  have  long  been  famous 
as  broodmares. 

The  case  of  Hambletonian  would  seem  to  indicate  that  it 
was  not  essential  from  which  sourse  the  nervous  energy  came. 
There  are  two  reasons  why  the  blood  of  Bellfounder  played 
such  an  important  part  in  the  character  and  conformation 
of  Hambletonian.  In  the  first  place  the  law  of  atavism  or 
breeding  back  undoubtedly  brought  the  Bellfounder  blood  or 
characteristics  forward  much  stronger  than  it  would  be  pro- 
duced in  the  majority  of  cases. 

In  the  second  plnce,  Bellfounder  was  a  much  belter  and 
purer-bred  horse  than  Abdallah,  his  pedigree  extending  back 
in  strong  trotting  lines  to  the  Darley  Arabian.  It  is  a  rule  of 
breeding  that  the  strongest  and  purest  blood  will  control  and 
the  characteristics  predominate  in  the  produce.  Again,  as 
only  an  occasional  prize  is  secured  with  the  utmost  care  in 
breeding,  Hambletonian  may  in  this  sense  be  said  to  have 
been  a  chance  production.  Every  breeder  has  learaed  how 
widely  different  are  brothers  and  sisters  in  characteristics. 

The  fame  of  Bellfounder  as  a  broodmare  sire  does  not  rest 
alone  on  Hambletonian,  although  that  were  enough  to  make 
any  horse  famous.  Harry  Clay  (2:29),  the  most  famous  mem- 
ber of  the  Clay  family,  was  out  of  a  daughter  of  Bellfounder. 
If  I  may  believe  what  gentlemen  familiar  with  the  Clays  have 
told  me  of  their  characteristics,  the  Bellfounder  cross  was 
one  calculated  to  neutralize  the  family  failings,  as  it  was  in 
the  case  of  Abdallah.  It  gave  Harry  Clay  also  the  trotting 
action  and  speed  imparted  to  Hambletonian  in  such  a  marked 
degree. 

It  has  been  said  of  the  sons  of  Hambletonian  that  the 
most  successful  speed  producers  were  those  that  bred  more 
strongly  after  the  Bellfounder  family  or  type.  I  believe  this 
to  be  true.  It  would  be  interesting  to  know,  on  the  other 
hand,  if  his  most  successful  daughters  were  those  that  bred 
back  most  strongly  to  the  Abdallah  characteristics.  Had  Ab- 
dallah flourished  at  this  time  and  been  appreciated  as  he  is 
to-day,  he  would  have  been  one  of  the  most  noted  brood- 
mare sires  known  in  the  history  of  the  trotter. 

After  Hambletonian,  Mambrino  Patchen,  American  Star 
and  Pilot  Jr.  rank  the  highest  among  the  brood-mare  sires. 
None  of  these  have  attained  any  great  reputation  as  sires  of 
speed  or  from  the  capacity  of  their  sons  to  sire  speed.  The 
fame  of  each  rests  upon  the  speed-producing  powers  of  the 
daughters.  All  were  highly-bred  horses  and  each  had  a 
strong  infusion  of  thorough  blood.  Each  was  also  highly 
charged  with  nervous  energy,  the  do-or-die  quality  that  will 
fight  to  the  last  stride  of  the  mile  and  fight  it  over  and  over 
again. 

This  grit  is  what  makes  the  race  horse.  It  must  be 
imparted,  but  it  must  also  be  balanced  or  controlled,  and  this 
power  of  control  must  also  be  imparted.  It  takes  two  good 
halves  to  make  a  good  whole.  When  a  high-strung  daughter 
of  a  high-strung  sire  is  bred  to  a  horse  of  quiet  disposition 
the  result  is  usually  a  well-balanced  head  that  has  instinct  or 
energy  to  race  at  whatever  gait  nature  or  breeding  may 
prompt. 

This  expla;ns  the  so-called  "golden  cross"  of  George 
Wilkes  and  Mambrino  Patchen.  It  tells  why  the  Hamble- 
tonian-American  Star  cross  gave  the  Hero  of  Chester  all  the 
2.20  performers  he  has  in  his  list.  It  solves  the  problem  of 
extreme  speed  resulting  from  breeding  the  daughters  of 
Pilot  Jr.  to  sons  of  Hambletonian.  It  shows  that  where  the 
two  extremes  harmonize  and  form  a  happy  medium  the 
best  results  are  obtained. 

Another  sire  that  is  becoming  prominent  as  a  broodmare 
sire  is  Daniel  Lambert.  He,  like  Hambletonian,  drew  his 
stock  of  nervous  energy  from  Abdallah.  His  trotting  inher- 
itance came  from  Ethan  Allen,  the  fastest  and  best  of  the 
Morgans  in  the  male  line.  Daniel  Lambert  was  a  grandly- 
bred  horse,  and  tbe  results  emphasize  the  adage  ''  blood  will 
tell."  He  has  proved  far  and  away  the  best  of  the  Morgan 
line  as  a  sire  of  speed  and  in  the  capacity  of  his  blood  to 
breed  on. 

Like  Hambletonian  he  represents  a  harmonious  union  of 
two  opposite  forces.  The  nervous  energy  that  characterised 
Daniel  Lambert,  and  was  imparted  to  his  daughters,  has  made 
them  famous  producers  of  speed,  and  has  added  his  name  to 
the  list  of  famous  broodmare  sires. 

Experience  has  taught  us  the  value  of  a  good  mother  and 
the  prominent  part  she  plays  in  producing  speed.  We  have 
also  learned  to  estimate  at  his  true  worth  the  horse  that, 
because  of  his  peculiar  breeding  or  inheritance,  becomes 
known  to  fame  only  as  a  broodmare  sire. — Horse  Breeder. 


"The  future  of  the  trotter  is  great,"  says  Gen.  B.  F.Tracy. 
"  He  is  only  in  his  dawn.  The  question  of  development  is 
quite  as  essential  to  success  as  that  of  breeding.  However 
wisely  you  breed,  your  projects  will  only  succeed  by  develop- 
ing wisely.  Until  recently,  skilled  training,  particularly  of 
young  horses  was  rare.  Nt>w  skill  in  breeding,  combined 
with  skillful  training,  will  not  be  long  in  producing  the  2:00 
horse.  Not  only  a  single  instance,  but  they  will  be  in  a  sense 
numerous,  as  common  as  the  2:06  now  is.  Such  a  breed  of 
horses  will  be  a  great  and  lasting  benefit  to  the  country."

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 


Ixx.l 

NINETEENTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,   JANUARY  31. 

OOD  racing  and  lots  of  excitement 
was  the  order  to-day.  The  track 
was  still  quite  slow,  but  yet  a 
couple  of  seconds  to  the  mile 
j  f-:^^\^^^WL  speedier  thaD  it  was  yesterday. 
The  coin  was  captured  to-day  by 
two  favorites,  two  second  choices 
and  a  third  choice.  The  book- 
makers had  a  shade  the  best  of  it 
on  the  first  four  races,  but  in  the 
last  they  were  probably  hit  pretty 
hard.  Four  of  the  five  events  were  very  interesting,  but  the 
last  one  was  won  by  half  a  dozen  leoghts  in  the  hollowest 
sort  of  fashion.  Leigh  rode  two  winners  to-day,  Taylor  two 
and  Carr  one. 

Tim  Murphy  and  Lottie  D.  had  a  duel  in  the  first  race,  and 
when  victory  was  about  to  be  snatched  from  the  latter  (who 
was  tiring  badly)  Spence  took  the  mare  in  close  to  the  rails, 
makiog  Murphy  shorten  his  stride  and  pull  up.  A  claim  of 
foul  made  by  Leigh]  resulted  in  a  disqualification  of  Lottie 
without  delay.  Georgetown,  who  finished  third,  was  given 
the  place,  and  Gladiator  was  given  third  money. 

In  the  second  race,  seven  furlongs,  Glee  Boy  led  Prince 
Henry  most  of  the  way  and  until  well  into  the  homestretch, 
where  Glee  Boy  was  soon  in  distress  and  Jordan  at  the  bat. 
In  a  drive  Prince  Henry  won  by  about  a  length,  and  Charmer 
was  an  indifferent  third,  beating  Realization  six  lengths, 
however.  The  latter  is  evidently  a  stake  colt  in  the  mud  and 
only  an  ordinary  performer  on  a  dry  course. 

Abi  P.,  with  light  weight  up  (for  her)  led  all  the  way  in 
the  third,  winning  by  about  three  parts  of  a  length  from 
Leveller,  who  was  coming  very  fast  at  the  end.  Sloan  made 
bis  rush  with  the  big  horse  a  little  late,  however.  King  Mac 
seemed  unable  to  extend  himself,  while  the  long  shot,  Dr. 
Boss  was  third. 

Annie  Moore  was  played  to  win  the  fourth  race  with  all 
kinds  of  money.  They  were  a  long  time  at  the  post,  and  the 
mare  was  the  worst  actor  in  the  bunch.  Besides  she  had  a 
strange  rider  up  in  Felix  Carr.  She  led  up  to  the  very  last 
jump,  after  a  battle  with  Joe  Ellis  in  the  straight.  Mes- 
tor,  coming  like  a  meteor  at  the  finish,  got  his  nose  in  front  in 
the  very  last  stride  and  woo  by  not  over  two  inches. 

The  last  race  had  for  a  winner  Booze,  who  is  pretty  near  a 
crackerjack,  to  all  appearances.  He  beat  a  pretty  fair  field 
in  the  hollowest  6ort  of  fashion,  and  in  good  time.  Imp. 
Candid  is  clearly  not  a  sprinter,  and  should  never  be  started 
in  a  race  of  less  than  a  mile.  She  got  the  place  to-day,  half 
a  dozen  lengths  behind  Booze. 

HOW    THE  BACES  WERE  RUN. 

Six  good  sprinters  came  to  the  post  in  the  first  race,  which 
was  one  of  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  selling.  Tim  Murphy 
was  favorite — backed  down  from  7  to  5  to  9  to  10.  Lottie  D 
was  a  strong  second  choice  at  9  to  5.  To  a  good  start  Tim. 
Murphy,  Lottie  D.,  Ida  Glenn  was  the  order.  Lottie  D.  led 
at  the  half-pole  by  a  length,  Tim  Murphy  second,  four  lengths 
from  Glenn.  Georgetown  soon  raced  up  third,  and  Lottie 
D.  and  Tim  Murphy  had  the  race  entirely  to  themselves,  en- 
tering the  homestretch  about  a  length  apart  io  the  order 
named,  six  lengths  from  Georgetown.  An  eighth  from  home 
Murphy  had  crawled  up  to  within  half  a  length  of  the  black 
mare,  Tim  against  the  rails  and  gaining  fast.  He  tried  to  get 
'through  about  sixty  yards  of  the  finish,  but  was  interfered 
with  and  pulled  up,  Lottie  D.  finishing  first  by  two  lengths, 
Tim  Murphy  second,  four  from  Georgetown,  who  was  two 
lengths  from  Gladiator.  Time,  1:10.  On  claim  of  foul  be- 
ing made,  the  judges  disqualified  Lottie  D.  and  gave  the  race 
to  Tim  Murphy,  placing  Georgetown  second,  Gladiator  third.

All  were  scratched  out  of  the  second  event  but  four.  It 
was  a  selling  race,  seven  furlongs.  Glee  Boy  was  7  to  5  fa- 
vorite, Prince  Henry  a  strongly-played  second  choice  at  8  to 
5,  backed  down  from  2  to  1,  Realization  was  at  3  to  1, 
Charmer  50  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  Prince  Henry  led  at  the 
quarter  by  a  head,  Glee  Boy  second,  half  a  length  from 
Charmer.  Glee  Boy  drew  out  under  pressure,  leading  Prince 
Henry  a  length  at  the  half,  Charmer  only  half  a  length, 
further  away.  Glee  Boy  made  a  slight  gain  in  the  next  eighth 
but  Prince  Henry  was  only  a  length  behind  as  they  swung 
into   the   homestretch,  Charmer  third,  two  lengths  further 


away.  Jordan  commenced  riding  Glee  Boy  soon  after  enter- 
ing the  straight,  and  it  was  evident  Prince  Henry  would  win, 
which  he  did  in  a  drive  by  a  length,  Glee  Boysecond,  five 
lengths  from  Charmer,  who  beat  Realization  eight  lengths.

The  third  race  was  a  five-furlone  dash,  selling.  Leveller 
and  Norlee  divided  favoritism  at  2  to  I  each.  Abi  P.  was  at 
2£  to  1.  To  a  fine  start  Abi  P.  led,  with  Norlee  second  and 
Leveller  third.  At  the  half  pole  Abi  P.  showed  the  length 
of  her  body  in  front,  while  Norlee  had  taken  second  place, 
she,  Leveller  and  Dr.  Ross  lapped  in  the  order  mentioned. 
Making  the  far  turn  Abi  P.  still  held  her  own,  while  heads 
only  divided  the  next  three,  although  their  order  had  not 
been  changed.  Turning  into  the  stretch  Leveller  headed 
Norlee,  and  lapped  Abi  P.,  these  two  coming  down  the 
stretch  lapped,  and  clear  of  the  others.  At  the  last  furlong 
Leveller  seemed  to  be  a  winner,  but  Sloan  had  not  make  his 
move  on  the  horse  quickly  enough,  and  Abi  P.  won  in  a 
drive  by  three  parts  of  a  length  from  Leveller,  a  horse  al- 
ways inclined  to  falter  when  "  pinched,"  he  two  lengths  in 
front  of  Dr.  Ross.     Norlee  died  away  in  the  last  few  strides.

The  fourth  race,  five  furlongs,  had  eight  starters.  Annie 
Moore  and  Mestor  divided  favoritism  at  2h  to  1.  Remus  and 
Rev  Hidalgo  were  at  6  to  1  each,  the  others  at  from  8  to  75 
to  1.  Annie  Moore  led  Joe  Ellis  from  a  head  to  a  length  to 
the  homestretch,  where  Mestor  was  third.  Annie  Moore  ap- 
peared to  be  winning  handily  enough  up  to  the  last  sixty 
yards,  where  .Taylor  was  sending  Mestor  along  like  a  whirl- 
wind, and,  getting  up  in  the  very  last  stride,  landed  him  a 
winner  by  a  nose,  Annie  Moore  second,  two  lengths  from  Joe

The  last  race  of  the  day  was  one  at  five  and  a  half  furlongs. 
Booze,  an  unknown  quanlity  to  San  Franciscans,  was  made  a 
warm  favorite  at  the  opening,  his  price  being  7  to  5.  Imp. 
Candid  was  at  2  to  1.  A  heavy  play  on  Candid  toward  the 
close  sent  her  price  down  to  8  to  5,  and  Booze's  closing  odds 
were  9  to  5.  Major  Ban  opened  at  3  to  1,  went  to  7  to  1,  then 
was  backed  down  to4to  1.  Not  Yet  threw  his  rider  (Peters) 
and  ran  away  nearly  a  mile.  Peters  was  uninjured  and  the 
horse  was  withdrawn.  A  good  start  was  made,  the  order  be- 
iDg  Booze,  Floodmore  and  Sam  Brown.  Candid,  the  favorite, 
was  seventh  away.  Floodmore  led  passing  the  half  by  a  head, 
Booze  second,  two  lengths  from  Major  Ban.  Booze  now  went 
away  from  his  field,  leading  Floodmore  five  lengths  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch  and  winning  by  six  lengths  in  a 
gallop.  Imp.  Candid  came  through  a  little  less  than  an 
eighth  from  home  and  easily  got  the  place,  beating  Floodmore, 
third,  two  lengths.  Major  Ban  was  fourth.  Time,  1:10$.

TWENTIETH  DAT — THURSDAY,  FEBRUARY  1. 

Large  fields  were  the  rule  to-day,  and  the  racing  was  of 

'  the  most  interesting  character.    The  course  was  not   at  its 

j  fastest,  there  being  a  good-sized  patch  of  ground  in  thehome- 

stretch  that  had  not  succumbed  to   the  sun's  rays.     Yet,  so 

excellent  were  the  horses  eogaged  in  the  various  events,  that 

i  the  time  made  throughout  was  good.     Two  favorite?,  a  sec- 

!  ond  choice  and  two  long  shots  got  first  money  to-day,  so  there 

j  was  not  a  very  large  balance  on  either  side  of  the  ledger  for 

either  the  public  or    the  pencilers  this  afternoon.     Leigh 

again  rode  two  winners.  Other  successful  jockeys  were  Irvirg, 

Taylor  and  Chevalier. 

Tigress  was  favorite  in  the  first  race,  but  was  not  in  the 
hunt.  The  steel  horse  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  the  good,  reliable 
young  Duke  Stevens  won  with  great  ease,  after  running  sec- 
ond to  ^Midget  up  to  the  last  sixteenth  of  a  mile.  Midget 
hung  on  wonderfully  well  (for  her)  aod  got  the  place  in  a 
drive  from  Hal  Fisher,  who  was  played  for  a  killing.  Joe 
i  Cotton,  another  "good  thing,"  finished  fourth.  It  was  a 
I  great  field  of  sprinters. 

Oakland  won  the  second  race,  seven  furlongs,  in  ihebard- 
!  est  sort  of  drive  from  Red  Root  after  the  latter  had  allowed 
,  himself  to  get  fully  fifteen  lengths  behind  the  bunch. 

The  Flood  Stakes  went  to  Mr.  Ed.  Corrigan,  his  colt,  Joe 
Murphy,  running  a  cracking  good  race,  striking  the  home- 
stretch about  seventh  and  winning  by  a  nose  from  Zenobia, 
who  led  all  the  way  around.  However,  had  not  one  of 
Zenobia's  stirrup-straps  been  broken  about  fifty  yards  from 
the  wire  the  victory  would  in  all  likelihood  have  gone  to  the 


101 

wearer  of  the  white,  red  sash  and  cap.  The  race  was,  in  our 
opinion,  won  by  the  best  horse,  for  J.ofc  Murphy  got  off 
seventh  io  a  field  of  nine  and  won  like  a  t-u'e  race  horse.  Mr. 
Corrigan  feels  especially  proud  over  the  victory  of  Joe  Mur- 
phy, for  the  reason  that  he  bred  the  colt  and  bailed  both  sire 
and  dam.  Isaac  Murphy,  his  sire,  was  a  half-bVither  to  Mr. 
Corrigan's  favorite  mare,  Pearl  Jennings,  while  flattie  Har- 
ris, the  dam,  was  bought  in  Montana  while  her  present,  owner 
was  engaged  in  building  a  railroad  in  that  State.  The  prtire 
threw  another  very  good  performer  in  Spectator. 

Catch  'Em  caught  'em  in  the  fourth  race,  passed  'em  and 
won  very  easily  with  odds  of  (at  one  lime)  10  to  1  against 
him.  Imp.  True  Briton,  who  led  to  .the  homestretch,  got  the 
place,  just  beating  the  40  to  1  shot,  April. 

Gypsy  Girl  was  favorite  in  the  last  race,  but  was  never  in 
the  hunt.  Queen  Bee  ran  along  about  fourth  until  nearing 
the  homestretch,  and  then  came  on  and  won  easily.  Jennie 
Deane  (in  a  fine  burst)  getting  the  place,  while  Kathleen  was 
a  bang-up  third. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  first  race,  five  furlongs,  brought  out  eleven  excellent 
sprinters.  Tigress  was  a  slight  favorite  over  Hal  Fisher.  Joe 
Cotton  was  at  6  to  1,  Duke  Stevens  at  S  to  1,  aod  practically 
unbacked.  Midget  piloted  Duke  Stevens  past  the  half  and 
into  the  homestretch,  where  Ricardo  was  a  close-up  third, 
Tigress  having  dropped  back  from  third  place.  Duke  Ste- 
vens came  with  a  tine  burst  in  the  final  sixteenth  of  a  mile 
and  won  handily  by  a  length,  Midget  coming  again  and  get- 
ting the  place,  a  neck  in  front  of  Hal  Fisher,  who,  in  turn, 
beat  Joe  Cotton  half  a  length.     Time,  1:02J.  »

The  second  race,  seven  furloDgs,  was  a  hot  one.  Oakland 
was  a  slight  favorite  over  Red  Root.  Seville  was  at  G  to  1, 
the  others  from  10  to  100  to  1.  Zaragoza  led  passing  the 
quarter  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Gladiator  second,  a  length 
from  Dr.  Ross.  Red  Root  was  seventh  and  out  of  the  race 
apparently  in  the  first  quarter.  Dr.  Ross  led  at  the  half-pole 
by  a  head,  Gladiator  second,  two  lengths  from  Sallie  M.,  who 
led  Zaragoza  a  head.  Near  the  half  Red  Root  commenced  to 
gain  fast,  and  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  was  fourth  and 
Oakland  fifth,  Gladiator  leading  Dr.  Ross  a  head.  In  the 
homestretch  Oakland  and  Red  Root  came  out  of  the  bunch 
and  had  the  race  to  themselves.  In  a  most  exciting  drive 
Oakland  won  by  half  a  length  from  Red  Root,  who  was  six

The  Flood  Stakes,  about  six  furlongs,  followed.  The  best 
field  of  the  entire  meeting  came  to  the  post  in  this  event. 
The  Corrigan  stable  (Joe  Murphy  aod  Ottyanna)  reigned 
favorite,  being  backed  down  from  3  to  1  to  8  to  5.  Zenobia 
and  Gascon,  also  heavily  played,  were  at  3J  to  1  each.  The 
prices  against  the  others  ranged  from  10  to  oO  to  1  A  good 
start  was  effected,  and  Zenobia  went  to  the  front  without  de- 
lay, attended  closely  by  Ottyanna  and  Tim  Murphy.  At  the 
half-pole  Zenobia  led  by  a  length,  Ottyanna  second, as  far  from 
Tim  Murphy,  who  had  Piccolo  at  his  saddle-skirts.  There 
was  no  material  change  until  reaching  the  homestretch, where 
Joe  Murphy  and  Happy  Day  came  through  from  the  rear 
and  made  play  with  a  vengeance.  A  furlong  from  horje 
Zenobia,  half  a  length  in  front,  appeared  to  be  winning 
handily.  Leigh  was  at  work  on  Joe  Murphy,  however,  and 
in  a  great  burst  of  speed  brought  his  mount  up  aod  won  in 
the  very  last  stride  by  the  shortest  of  noses.  Gascon,  third, 
was  three  leDgths  away,  but  a  head  in  front  of  Happy  Day, 
Ottyanna  finishing  fifth.  One  of  Zenobia's  stirrup-straps 
broke  in  the  last  sixteenth  of  a  mile,  otherwise  victory  would 
in  all  probability  have  perched  on  the  banner  of  the  Ken- 
tucky Stable.     The  time  was  1:13.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


A  large  number  of  horsemen  are  going  to  Napa  to  attend 
the  sale  tQ-(lay  

Four  hrfodred  and  sixteen  2:30  performers  trace  to  Green 
Mountain  Maid. 

FoVr  two-year-olds  that  have  held  champion  honors  were 

sired'by  Electioneer.  

"  The  dam  of  Richmond  Jr.,  2:15,  is  to  be  bred  to  Ben  Cor- 

"  bett,  2:21,  this  year.  

Lady   Bcnker,   dam  of  Guy  Wilkes  and  William  L.,is 

safely  in  foal  to  Chimes. 

The  great  brood  mare  Belle,  by  Mambrino  Chief,  has  9S9 
descendants  in  thestandard  list. 

Dictator  was  a  square  trotter,  and  most  of  his  get  are  of 
the  same  material  and  have  the  same  gait. 

The  Central  Michigan  Circuit  Trotting  and  paciDg 
Association  will  hang  up  $50,'K)0  in  purses. 

Hambletonian  was  foaled  May  5,  1S49,  and  his  most 
noted  son,  Dexter,  2:17|,  just  nine  years  later— May  5, 1S58. 

Next  to  Hambletonian  and  Mambrino  Chief,  the  two  sires 
whose  blood  is  most  prominent,  are  Electioneer  and  George 
Wilkes,  both  sons  of  Hambletonian. 

Lida  Kesdall,  by  Hero  of  Thorndale,  dam  of  the  five- 
mile  champion,  Bishop  Hero,  is  a  little  roan  mare,  lacking 
an  inch  of  fifteen  hands,  and  with  her  left  eye  out. 

f  jTo  prevent  ringing,  a  foreign  turf  writer  suggests  that  a 
photograph  of  every  horse  should  be  in  the  hands  of  the  as- 
sociation controlling  the  track  where  the  horse  is  entered. 

The  great  sale  of  Oakwood  Park  stock  farm  trotters  takes 
place  next  Thursday.  This  is  an  opportunity  for  getting 
tirst-class  standard-bred  youngsters  which  should  not  be 
neglected.  

Regina.  2.20  by  Electioneer  out  of  Accident  (dam  of  five 
in  the  list)  will  be  bred  to  Guy  Wilkes  2:15}  this  year.  The 
Wilkes — Electioneer  cross  has  proved  a  valuable  one  when- 
ever tried.  

Ramona,  2:17|,  the  game  Sidney  pacer,  has  been  fired  for 
a  tendon  that  looked  "  threatening,"  and  is  now  pacing  better 
than  ever.  His  mark,  when  the  season  of  1S94  ends,  will  be 
at  least  2:10.  

James  B.  Green  has  declined  Monroe  Salisbury's  offer 
to  guarantee  all  expenses  and  allow  Green  half  of  Saladin's 
winnings  this  year.  The  great  pacing  stallion  will  remain 
in  the  East.  

In  looking  over  the  list  of  entries  for  the  fall  meeting  of 
the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  our  readers  will  be  forcibly  reminded 
of  the  fact  that  nil  the  well-bred  trotters  and  pacers  have  not 
left  California  yet.  

Catalogues  for  the  sale  of  stock  which  is  to  take  place  at 
the  Napa  race  track  Wednesday,  February  21st,  are  now  in 
the  printer's  hands  and  on  Monday  every  horseman  in  this 
state  will  receive  a  copy. 

Are  you  going  to  the  great  sale  at  Napa  to-day  ?  There 
will  be  trotters  sold  there  that  will  bring  low  prices  now,  but 
in  three  months  if  the  youngsters  are  handled,  they  will 
bring  ten  times  as  much. 

Arion  stands  at  $500 ;  his  full  brother's  (Eclectic)  fee  is 
placed  at  $50.  The  latter's  progeny  cannot  be  surpassed  for 
beauty  of  form,  perfection  of  gait  and  gentle  disposition. 
Eclectic  will  make  a  great  sire. 

Thos.  Keating  is  busy  scouring  the  country  for  good  trot- 
ters and  pacers  to  enter  on  the  California  circuit  this  year. 
There  are  several  other  trainers  on  the  same  quiet  hunt,  but 
the  game  they  are  after  is  very,  very  scarce. 

A  Puritan  contemporary  says,  naively:  "This  has  been 
called  the  broodmare  age.  It  has  been  a  misnomer  up  here 
in  New  England,  and,  as  for  that,  all  over  the  country.  This 
has  been  the  big-slallion-fee  age  and  has  hurt   like  blazes." 

H.  L.  Asher,  of  Lexington,  has  purchased  a  half-interest 
in  Alfred  G-,  2:19^  (son  of  AnteeoJ,  and  the  horse  will  be 
in  service  at  Mr.  Asher's  farm  this  season.  He  is  the  sire  of 
ijueen  Alfred,  two-year-old  record  2:25$,  over  a  half-mile 
track.  

From  almost  every  race  track  are  reports  received  that 
great  activity  is  noticeable  among  horsemen,  and  from 
present  indications  the  meetings  this  fall  will  become  famous 
for  the  large  number  of  contestants  that  will  appear  in 
every  race.  

Texas  breeders  are  alarmed  at  the  proposed  reduction  of 
the  Wilson  tarill'  bill  on  horses,  from  $30  per  head  to  20  per 
cent,  advalorem.  They  fear  the  introduction  of  scrub  stock 
from  Mexico,  and  their  eilorts  to  breed  the  best  class  of  stock 
utterly  blocked. 

Dave  Culross  the  well-known  trainer  and  driver  has 
accepted  a  position  with  V.  D.  Olcott  of  Bernardsville,  New 
Jersey,  where  he  will  have  some  grandly-bred  trotters  and 
pacers  to  handle.  Dave  is  a  very  careful  driver  and  no 
better  conditioner  can  be  found  anywhere. 


The  people  of  JMonterey  county  have  a  splendid  opportu- 
nity of  breeding  their  mares  this  year  to  the  very  best  trotting 
Htallion  that  has  ever  entered  the  city  of  Salinas,  and  (but 
one  is  the  name  trotting  campaigner  Boodle,  2:191-  His 
blood-lines  are  unequaled,  and  to  breed  him  to  the  mares  by 
Mambrino  (Carr's),  Eugeneer,  Napa  Wilkes,  Jim  Mulvenna 
and  Budd  Doble,  no  mistakes  will  he  made.  As  he  is  only  to 
stand  there  one  season,  his  book  should  be  filled  at  once. 

Since  the  l:ite  heavy  rains  the  track  at  Agricultural  Park, 
San  Jose,  has  again  b?en  put  in  fine  condition,  and  the  "in- 
dent superintendent,  C.  I'.  Bunch,  is  sparing  neither  labor 
nor  pains  to  bring  it  to  perfection.  Santa  Clara  County 
roads  are  noted  foi  heir,  excellence  ;  and  convenient  to  the 
jiark  are  numerou  pleasant  thoroughfares  which  are  unsur- 
passed for  jogging.  Trainers  who  are  getting  stables  together 
will  do  well  to  inspect  the  advantages  offered  by  this  locality. 


Evert  stallion  owner  should  remember  that  owners  of 
broodmares  are  actively  engaged  in  scanning  the  turf  journ- 
als for  advertisements  of  stallions, — thoroughbreds  and 
trotters, — therefore  the  man  who  advertises  will  be  sure  of 
getting  back  the  money  spent  in  that  way  long  before  the 
expiration  of  the  notice. 

William  Corbitt,  of  San  Mateo,  Cal.,  consigned  to  Peter 
C.  Kellogg's  February  6th  to  9th  sale  in  New  York  City,  some 
of  the  choicest  equine  products  of  this  celebrated  farm,  in- 
cluding such  stars  as  Hazel  Wilkes,  2:11};  Una  Wilkes,  2.15, 
by  Guy  Wilkes;  Sabina,  2:15*;  Lallan  Wilkes,  3,  2:2G,  and 
Freedom,  1,  2:29|,  by  Sable  Wilkes. 

James  Thompson,  of  Stockton,  the  well-known  trainer 
and  driver,  will  open  a  public  training  stable  at  the  Stockton 
race  track.  The  members  of  the  association  have  promised 
to  put  this  celebrated  track  in  first-class  order.so  Mr.  Thomp- 
son will  be  enabled  to  have  all  the  horses  placed  in  his  care 
in  readiness  for  the  races.  We  understand  that  Mr.  Shippee 
will  send  him  a  number  of  promising  ones. 

Crit  Davis,  the  well-known  race  driver,  has  suggested  the 
setting  back  of  the  poles  which  indicate  the  eighths,  quarters, 
half  and  three-quarters  mile  distances  on  race  courses.  The 
poles  are  planted  at  the  edges  of  the  track,  and  on  clear  days 
their  shadows  extend  across  it.  Colts  and  also  aged  horses 
frequently  try  to  jump  over  these  dark  shadows  thus  made, 
and  in  doing  so  they  break  and  often  lose  a  heat  or  race.  By 
setting  the  poles  back  their  length  would  prevent  the  annoy- 
ance and  please  many  drivers  and  owners. 

The  great  sale  of  trotting  colts  and  fillies  at  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm  is  already  attracting  the  attention  of  our 
leading  horseman.  As  Mr.  Corbitt  intends  to  have  a  large 
number  of  the  colts  castrated  before  'he  sale,  we  advise  all 
breeders  who  are  desirous  of  securing  a  few  of  these  sons  of 
Guy  Wilkes  and  Sable  Wilkes  (to  use  as  sires)  to  visit  the  farm 
now  and  purchase  them  at  very  low  figures.  No  one  under- 
stands the  fluctuations  of  a  mercantile  business  better  than 
Mr.' Corbitt  and  to  "keep  pace  with  the  times"  is  one  of 
the  mottoes  that  has  made  his  business  career  so  successful. 


The  utility  of  the  pacer  as  a  road  horse  is  being  demon- 
strated through  increasing  public  demand.  There  are  a 
hundred  good  pacers  now  in  use  as  roadsters  in  city  and 
country  where  ten  years  ago  not  twenty  were  to  be  seen.  The 
reasons  are  plain.  All  pacers  can  "go  some,"  and  it  costs 
less  to  train  and  develop  the  speed  of  a  pacer,  and  his  breeder 
can  afford  to  sell  at  a  less  price  than  the  trotter  whom  he  has 
hired  worked  two  years  at  large  expense  to  find  out  that  he 
cannot  go  fast.  It  is  also  a  fact  which  the  public  has  come 
to  know  that  the  average  pacer  is  more  durable  on  the  paved 
streets  than  the  higher-acting  trotter. 

Parkville  Farm  has  now  in  its  list  of  broodmares  four 
that  have  held  champion  records.  They  are  Susie  D.,  whose 
mark  of  2:35|  was  the  yearling  limit  for  trotters  when  made  ; 
Bonita,  who  was  the  first  to  place  the  four-year-old  record  at 
2:18£  ;  Lillian  Wilkes,  2:17|,  who  held  the  three-year-old 
race  record  of  the  world,  and  the  Sidney  mare  Gold  Leaf, 
whose  2:11J  was  the  best  for  four-year-old  pacers  when  re- 
corded. The  farm  also  owns  Beatrice,  whose  son  Patron  held 
the  three  and  five-year-old  stallion  records,  while  she  is  also 
the  dam  of  Patronage,  the  sire  of  that  race  queen  AIix,2:07  J. 
Another  choice  mare  at  Parkville  is  Rose  Leaf,  dam  of  the 
champion  yearling  pacing  colt  Rosedale,  2:22. 

The  owners  of  Fallis,  2:23,  Messrs.  Crittenden  &  Barri,  of 
Riverside  Farm,  Sunderland,  Mass.,  write  as  follows :  "Our 
California-bred  horse  Fallis  is  doing  all  we  can  ask  of  him. 
He  now  has  seven  in  the  list ;  his  oldest  colts  in  this  part  of 
the  country  are  coming  three,  and  with  anything  like  fair 
luck  next  season  a  number  of  them  will  go  in  the  list.  With- 
out the  services  of  a  professional  trainer  we  have  won  all  the 
one  and  two-year-old  stakes  in  our  vicinity  the  past  two 
years,  and  had  they  been  worked  for  it,  we  are  confident  we 
could  have  given  two  fillies  a  two-year-old  mark  better  than 
2:30  last  fall.  We  find  Fallis  marks  his  colts  very  uniformly 
in  conformation,  gait,  color,  etc.,  and  all  have  remarkably 
fine  dispositions."  

Sidwood,  2:16,  as  a  four-year-old,  is  one  of  the  fastest  and 
gamest  sons  of  the  great  Sidney.  As  a  three-year-old  he  took 
a  mark  of  2:18,  carrying  40  pounds  overweight.  As  a  four- 
year-old  he  made  his  present  record  of  2:16,  after  having 
two  months  sickness  from  a  severe  attack  of  distemper.  He 
promises  to  take  rank  with  the  fastest  of  the  side-wheel  di- 
vision. At  Lodi,  Ben  Chaboya  drove  him  in  2:15,  last  half 
in  1:05,  last  quarter  in  thirty-one  seconds  and  last  eighth  in 
fourteen  Beconds.  His  dam  Lynde,  by  Lynwood,  son  of  Nut- 
wood, is  in  the  great  brood  mare  list,  being  the  dam  of  Judge 
G.,  with  a  four-year-old  record  of  2:21  J-  in  the  third  heat  of 
a  race.  Sidwood  is  the  property  of  J.  G.  Adams,  of  Oakland, 
and  when  done  racing  should  be  a  great  sire. 

D.  N.  Herger  has  recently  purchased  for  the  Grave  Stock 
Farm  at  Great  Bend,  Kansas,  the  following  splendidly-bred 
trotters :  Sable  Guy  11,552,  b  h,  foaled  1SS9,  by  Sable 
Wilkes,  2: IS,  sire  of  Freedom,  2:29 J, etc.,  dam  Linda  Wilkes, 
sister  to  Atlanta  Wilkes,  2:29$,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15}  ;  Bon- 
nie Lee  10,735,  bh,  foaled  1891,  by  Bonnie  McGregor,  2:13}, 
dam  Dazzle,  dam  of  Red  Bandana,  pacer,  2:20}  ;  Superin- 
tendent, 2:28,  by  Happy  Medium,  second  dam  Madam  Head- 
ley,  grandam  of  Lockheart,  2: 14 J,  by  Edwin  Forest  851  ; 
Mabel  L.,  by  Winewocd  4874,  son  of  Nutwood,  2:18:},  dam 
Kate  Wood  by  Pathfinder  Jr.  2901,  second  dam  Kit  by 
Dauntless  3158  ;  Maud  L.,  by  Interpreter  3694,  dam  Zip,  by 
Dauntless,  second  dam  by  Post  Bay  Frank,  sire  of  Neomi, 
2:24.  

Cyclone,  a  superior  trotting  race  horse  and  a  great  sire, 
died  last  week  at  Paris,  Ky.,  at  the  home  of  his  owner,  James 
E.  Clay.  He  was  a  black  horee  by  Caliban,  out  of  Camlet, 
by  Hamlet,  her  dam  being  Favorita,  by  Alexander's  Abdallah, 
and  he  was  thus  a  stoutly  and  an  excellently  bred  horse. 
He  was  bred  by  M.  M.  Clay,  Paris,  Ky.,  and  in  1885  took  a 
record  of  2:23}  at  the  Kentucky  Breeders'  meeting  at  Lex- 
ington. He  was  a  good  race  horse  and  always  had  his  speed, 
and  though  he  had  not  been  trained  for  several  years  he  last 
summer  showed  a  quarter  in  33  seconds.  Cyclone  not  only 
got  abundant  speed  but  splendid  racing  quality  as  well,  as 
has  been  attested  by  Gillette  2:11},  Cicerone  2:12],  Dr. 
Sparks  2:12},  and  other  fast  aud  game  horses  of  the  Cyclone 
family.  His  best  money  winner  has  been  Dr.  Sparks,  who 
began  trotting  as  a  two-year-old,  and  continued  up  to  last 
scaHon,  and  he  has  generally  been  a  factor  to  be  reckoned 
with  wherever  he  started. 


The  official  notice  from  M.  M.  Morse,  secretary  of  the 
National  Trotting  Association,  that  the  next  session  of  the 
biennial  congress  of  that  body  will  be  held  at  the  Murray 
Hill  Hotel,  New  York,  February  14th,  marks  the  sixteenth 
regular  meeting  of  that  corporation.  As  there  are  some  im- 
portant things  to  be  discussed  and  voted  upon  by  the  congress, 
there  is  likely  to  be  a  large  attendance.  The  advisability  of 
a  joint  standing  committee  to  represent  the  National  and 
American  Trotting  Associations  on  all  questions  of  legislation 
will  come  up,  along  with  the  proposed  changes  in  the  rules, 
to  make  them  more  in  harmony  with  the  American  associa- 
tion. 

The  chestnut  mare  Mattie  Hunter,  2:12$,  by  Prince  Po- 
laski,  out  of  Lettie  by  Driver,  a  son  of  Vermont  Morgan, 
died  at  the  Forest  City  Farm  last  Saturday  afternoon.  She 
was  heavy  in  foal  to  Patron  at  the  time  and  appeared  to  be  in 
first-class  condition  this  winter.  She  ran  out  with  the  mares 
all  day  and  dropped  while  eating  hay  from  the  rack.  She 
was  dead  in  twenty  minutes.  Mattie  Hunter  was  foaled  in 
1872.  She  was  brought  out  by  Ed  Geers  and  campaigned  in 
1879  and  18S0  by  R.  C.  Pate.  C.  F.  Emery  paid  $8,000  for 
her  during  the  winter  of  1880-81,  and  the  following  season 
started  her  in  twenty-one  races.  She  won  eleven,  wassecood  in 
eight  and  third  in  two.  Her  record  was  made  that  season  at 
Pittsburg.  Mattie  Hunter  was  bred  for  the  first  time  in  1884, 
and  to  her  credit  is  the  mare  Mattie  Marco,  2:25,  by  Monaco. 
Mattie  Hunter  was  one  of  the  "  Big  Four"  that  came  down 
the  Grand  Circuit  line  in  1S80, 18S1  and  1882.  While  on 
the  turf  she  started  in  seventy-four  races,  of  which  she  won 
twenty-six,  was  second  in  twenty-one,  third  in  fourteen,  fourth 
in  seven  and  unplaced  in  seven.  She  paced  315  contested 
heats,  of  which  she  won  102.  Her  gross  earnings  amounted 
to  $27,860.  

"The  horse  breeder  of  the  future,"  said  Robert  Bonner 
the  other  day,  "  in  order  to  make  money  must  have  nothing 
but  the  very  best  material  to  begin  with.  There  never  was  a 
time  when  good  trotters — I  mean  first-class  trotters — were 
worth  more  money  than  they  are  to-day,  and  there  never  was  a 
time  when  ordinary  ones  were  so  low  in  price.  In  my  judg- 
ment the  situation  will  not  change  to  any  appreciable  extent. 
The  stars  will  bring  as  much  money  next  year  and  the  year 
after,  but  poor  ones  will  sell  lower  and  lower.  There  will  al- 
ways be  strong  competition  for  the  cream  of  the  market  be- 
tween men  of  wealth  who  have  a  fondness  for  the  trotter  and 
the  money  to  gratify  it.  In  years  gone  by,  say  when  Flora 
Temple  was  at  her  best,  trotters  were  largely  accidents,  but 
to  day,  with  breeding  farms  at  every  crossroads,  the  business 
isbecoming  so  systematic  that  in  a  short  time  2:10  trotters 
will  be  as  common  as  2:30  performers  are  to-day.  Dexter 
was  an  accident.  He  was  not  bred  to  break  records,  and  sold 
when  four  years  old  for  $450.  People  knew  little  or  nothing 
at  that  time  about  popular  strairs  and  about  the  blood  that 
produced  the  best  results.  All  that  is  systematized  now  and 
the  breed  is  bound  to  keep  on  improving,  which  improvement 
will  be  manifestly  aided  by  the  newer  and  better  courses,  and 
the  improved  vehicles  to  which  horses  are  driven.  Horses 
that  can  trot  in  2:30  or  2:40  are  cheap,  because  they  are  com- 
mon. I  think  the  outlook  is  good  for  those  who  breed  noth- 
ing but  the  best." 

Spokane  (Wash.)  seems  to  be  getting  quite  a-reputation 
for  speedy  horses.  About  twenty-five  of  these  are  wintering 
atLewiston.  which  is  the  winter  training  resort.  The  fastest 
horse  in  the  State,  the  pacer  Gold  Medal,  2:14^,  is  owned  by 
A.  J.  Ross,  who  also  has  a  team  "  which  can  pull  four  men  a 
mile  faster  than  any  team  in  the  country."  G.  W.  G.,  also 
owned  by  the  same  party,  has  a  record  of  2:23},  and  has  shown 
a  quarter  very  fast.  Klamath,  now  in  California,  was  form- 
erly owned  here  by  W.  J".  Harris.  This  trotter  made  the 
season's  best  record  in  the  State.  In  California  he  won  ten 
out  of  fourteen  races,  and  in  Montana  he  did  equally  well, 
beating  horses  with  records  of  2:12.  Mr.  Harris  owns  Hattie 
S.,  a  three -year-old,  that  has  gone  a  quarter  in  38  seconds. 
She  promises  to  be  a  great  mare.  Her  color  is  buckskin, 
with  black  points.  Klamath's  dam  is  also  located  in  Spokane. 
She  has  never  had  a  harness  on,  but  she  is  a  beauty.  Little 
Frank,  2:22},  is  owned  by  Ralph  Clark.  Happy  Jack,  with 
a  sulky  record  of  2:22  and  a  wagon  record  of  2:25,  is  owned 
by  the  Jacksons.  Clattawa,  2:21,  is  owned  by  Barney  Barindo. 
Colonel  Turner's  James  C.  has  a  record  of  2:28}.  Prince, 
2:23},  is  owned  by  J.  W.  Savage.  These  are  some  of  the 
more  speedy  horses  owned  in  Spokane,  from  which  list  it  will 
be  seen  that  this  city  has  developed  quite  a  fancy  for  fast 
flyers. 

George  B.  McAnany  is  an  old  Cahfornian,  recently 
returned  after  some  years'  Bojourn  in  New  York.  Prior  to 
his  Eastern  trip  he  was  a  well-known  mining  man,  in  which 
business  he  acquired  an  ample  fortune.  On  his  return  to 
California,  and  after  a  thorough  investigation,  he  determined 
to  establish  a  home  and  a  model  breeding  farm  in  the  Santa 
Clara  Valley,  and  his  choice  finally  settled  upon  the  Arques 
farm,  near  Lawrence,  on  the  Hue  of  the  Southern  Pacific  Rail- 
road, five  and  a  half  miles  from  San  Jose,  comprising  eighty 
acres  of  land  that  is  fine  enough  for  a  rose  garden.  Here  he 
has  erected  a  magnificent  country  house,  with  barns  and  pad- 
docks, equipped  with  the  most  approved  modern  appliances. 
The  training  stable  is  150  feet  long  and  75  feet  wide,  contain- 
ing twenty-four  roomy  box-stalls.  The  stalls  are  arranged 
around  the  four  sides,  opening  upon  a  magnificent  winter 
training  track  under  the  same  roof.  In  the  central  part  of 
the  building  the  hay  is  stored,  thus  being  easily  accessable 
from  every  stall,  says  the  Mercury.  The  entire  building  is 
lighted  with  gas  and  the  qurrters  of  the  trainer  and  his  assis- 
tants are  carpeted  and  very  handsomely  furnished.  There  is 
also  a  very  neat  cottage  for  the  express  use  of  the  other  em- 
ployes. Mr.  McAnany  has  constructed  an  excellent  winter 
training  track,  but  realizing  that  fo"r"  the  rapid  work  of  spring 
and  summer  he  can  obtain  better  results  at  much  less  outlay, 
he  is  preparing  to  bring  his  string  to  Agricultural  Park. 
Unfortunately  Mr.  McAnany  was  not  at  home  at  the  time  the 
Mercury's  representative  called,  and  detailed  mention  of  the 
horses  must  be  deferred  until  another  visit  can  be  made.  A 
brief  reference  in  general  terms,  however,  may  not  be  amiss. 
The  premier  stallion  is  Messenger  Almont,  purchased  by  Mr. 
McAnany,  during  a  recent  visit  to  New  York,  from  Rollin  N. 
Squire.  The  looks  of  the  horse  and  his  get,  and  the  speed 
shown  in  trials,  warrant  the  assertion  that  he  is  royally-bred. 
Five  handsome  two-year-olds  by  Almont  Messenger  were 
shown,  which  G.  W.  Johns,  who  was  in  charge,  said  had  only 
been  broken  two  months,  and  that  three  of  them  had  gone 
eighths,  the  fastest  in  0:22  and  the  slowest  in  0:23}.  For  raw 
colts,  at  this  season  of  the  year,  this  is  a  wonderful  showing. 
The  Lawrence  Stock  Farm  will  make  a  mark  in  the  breeding 
world.

THE  SADDLE. 


Word  was  reached  here  Tuesday  that  Don  Mongano  had 
died  at  New  Orleans.  He  was  a  promising  colt  at  one  time 
and  a  brother  to  Don  Fulano. 


According  to  statistics  gathered  by  a  Chicago  writer,  dur- 
ing the  year  1893,  477  horses  started  over  the  tracks  at  Chi- 
cago without  being  placed  one,  two,  three,  in  any  of  their 
races.  

There  is  a  Tom  Martin  two-year-old  in  Tennesssee  that 
is  said  to  be  a  crankerjack.  He  sails  under  the  terrible  name 
of  Umsloggas,  and  that  ought  to  stop  him  in  the  very  first 
quarter  of  a  race.  

Marcus  Daly's  Montana  yearlings  will  soon  be  shipped 
East  to  Trainer  Byrnes.  There  are  said  to  be  an  extra  good 
lot,  those  by  Salvator  being  very  highly  spoken  of  by  the 
well-posted  horsemen  of  the  West. 

Jockey  Henry  Smith,  suspended  and  fined  for  failing  to 
get  away  from  the  post  with  old  Wild  Oats  some  weeks  ago, 
was  reinstated  last  Saturday,  and  will  probably  often  be  seen 
in  the  saddle  from  this  time  forth. 


Baltimore,  it  is  reported,  is  to  have  a  spring  meeting  be- 
ginning about  May  1st.  The  outlook  for  racing  in  New  Jer- 
sey this  year  is  very  gloomy  so  that  some  New  Yorker  is  sup- 
posed to  be  back  of  the  Baltimore  scheme. 

An  effort  will  be  made  this  spring  to  revive  the  glories  of 
Pimlico,  and  if  successful  a  meeting  will  be  held  there  begin- 
niog  May  1st  and  continuing  two  weeks.  The  Dwyers, 
Keenes,  Belmonts  ani  others  have  promised  to  send  their 
stables  if  the  fixture  materialize. 

Wildidle  is  twenty-four  years  old,  and  is  a  remarkably 
potent  sire.  All  the  mares  bred  to  this  horse  last  year  are  in 
foal,  and  this  yeara  as  can  be  seen  by  the  advertisement,  his 
services  can  be  secured  for  all  mares  whose  owners  under- 
stand the  full  value  of  Wildidle  blood. 

Starter  H.  D.  Brown  Tuesday  sold  at  private  sale  his 
good  horse,  Malcolm,  son  of  Regent  and  Lillie  Langtry,  by 
Hunter's  Lexington.  The  terms  were  private  and  trie  buyer 
an  ex-policeman  who  intends  trying  his  luck  with  thorough- 
breds. Malcolm  is  a  sure-enough  race  horse  when  in  racing 
shape.  

In  a  recent  interview  Isaac  Murphy  expressed  the  opinion 
that  many  promising  boys  were  ruined  by  the  instructions 
usually  given  to  them  in  sprinting  races — "get  off  in  front 
and  die  there."  They  are  not  given  the  opportunity  to  de- 
velop the  faculty  of  judging  pace,  which  he  considers  the 
prime  requisite  in  a  jockey. 

The  combined  winnings  of  the  two  and  three-year-old  win- 
ners of  $5,000  and  over  in  1893  amount  to  the  huge  sum  of 
$1,391,323,  and  it  is  the  largest  in  the  history  of  racing  in 
America.  It  is  an  increase  of  $782,865  over  1885;  $724,165 
over  1888  ;  $'380,174  over  1889  ;  $264,730  over  1890  ;  $78,017 
over  1891,  and  $144,321  over  1892. 

Pierre  Lorillard  has  offered  W.  O'B.  Macdonough 
$50,000  for  the  services  of  Ormonde  to  ten  of  the  Rancocas 
mares,  but  the  Californian  declined  the  offer.  The  services 
of  St.  Blaise  and  Iroquois  are  placed  at  $2,500  for  1894. 
These  figures  would  not  indicate  that  the  bottom  is  entirely 
out  of  the  business  of  breeding  thoroughbreds. 

Robert  C.  Pate,  the  Mexican  racetrack  promoter,  has  left 
St.  Louis  and  returned  to  the  City  of  Mexico.  Senor  Rubio, 
father-in-law  of  President  Diaz,  of  the  Mexico  o  Republic,  is 
said  to  have  promised  Mr.  Pate  enough  financial  assistance 
to  carry  the  Penon  track  venture  until  next  Spring.  The 
meeting  will  henceforth  continue  on  Sunday  only. 


During  the  last  racing  season  Longfellow  had  sixty  sons 
and  daughters  to  win  purses  or  stakes.  Sir  Modred,  54; 
Spendthrift,  50  ;  Onondaga,  48 ;  Himyar,  43  ;  Iroquois,  42; 
Rayor  d'Or.  28  ;  Fonso,  81 ;  St.  Blaise,  27  ;  Mr.  Pickwick, 
22;  Eolus,'16;  andMidIothian.il.  All  the  get  of  each  of 
the  stallions  are  credited  with  winnings  exceeding  $5,000. 


"  Plunger"  Walton,  the  famous  turf  speculator,  is  said  to 
be  insolvent.  Walton  first  became  famous  as  a  bettor  in  1881 , 
when  he  wagered  $2,800  against  $32,500  on  a  horse  named 
Bounce,  and  won  it  at  Sheepshead  Bay.  He  arrived  in 
England  in  time  to  back  the  two  great  American  racers  there, 
Iroquois  and  Foxhall,  and  in  sixty  days  won  $500,000. 


The  Louisville  Jockey  Club  stake  events  closed  with  a  large 
number  of  entries,  we  are  happy  to  say.  Among  the  owners 
sending  horses  to  the  Kentucky  metropolis  is  Ed.  Corrigan, 
who  enters  thirteen.  He  has  not  raced  at  Louisville  for  a 
conple  of  years.  King  Lee,  who  has  been  on  the  Finzer  farm 
since  he  went  amiss,  is  among  the  entries,  and  is  said  to  be  in 
good  shape  again.  

William  Hendrie,  President  of  the  Ontario  Jockey 
Club,  has  lost  by  death  the  chestnut  stallion  Van  Dorn  (Van 
Buren),  by  Vandal,  dam  Dew  Drop,  by  Lexington  ;  second 
dam  Queen,  by  American  Eclipse  ;  third  dam  by  Kosciusko. 
The  stallion  was  one  of  the  few  surviving  Vandals.  Mr. 
Hendrie  writes :  "  We  have  only  two  fillies  from  him,  one 
in  the  stud  and  one  to  race  this  year." 


King  Idle,  the  nine-year-old  brown  stallion  by  Wildidle, 
out  of  AuguBta  E.,  died  at  the  Gloucester  track  last  week  of 
lung  fever.  King  Idle  started  in  a  tremendous  lot  of  races 
during  his  career  and  was  frequently  returned  a  winner.  He 
was  a  wretched  tempered  brute  and  had  to  be  whipped  out 
of  the  paddock  on  to  the  track.  Meanwhile  every  one  gave 
his  flying  heels  plenty  of  room.  In  1891  King  Idle  started 
in  no  less  than  80  races. 


A  'well-known,  experienced  horseman  remarked  last 
night:  "  I  know  how  Bay  District  course  could  be  made  as 
fit  as  a  fiddle  in  one  day.  That  don't  look  likely  to  you,  does 
it?  My  plan  is  a  very  simple  one  and  wouldn't  cost  much 
either.  It  is  for  the  (association  io  engage  6ay  3,000  sheep  »n 
Butchertown  and  have  every  last  one  of  them  driven  around 
the  track  about  six  times.  The  result  would  be  that  the  course 
would  be  made  as  dry  as  a  board  and  fully  as  level.  I  have 
seen  this  tried  with  great  success  at  Newmarkei  Heath,  in 
England,  and  the  local  association  could  accomplish  this  with 
an  outlay  of  possibly  $150. 


W.  Clancy,  the  jockey,  was  reinstated  by  Starter  Fergu- 
son last  Saturday  and  the  $250  fine  remitted.  He  satisfac- 
torily proved  that  he  had  quite  a  sum  of  money  on  Major 
Ban,  and  that  he  wanted  to  win  as  badly  as  a  person  could. 
Another  thing — Major  Ban  never  started  in  a  race  before, 
though  he  is  seven  years  of  age.  Starter  Ferguson  saw  his 
mistake  and  did  the  right  thing. 

We  acknowledge  receipt  and  tender  thanks  to  David  T. 
Pulsifer  of  New  York  (or  a  magnificent  picture  of  the  great 
racehorse  Tenny,  with  America's  Archer  (Garrison)  in  the 
saddle.  Tenny  shows  a  vast  amount  of  muscular  power  be- 
fore and  behind  that  swayed  back,  and  ths  devil  that  is  in 
him  beams  out  from  beneath  the  hood  he  wears.  The  famous 
son  of  Rayon  d'Or  and  Belle  of  Maywood  will  probably  end 
his  days  at  Beaumont  Stud,  near  Lexington,  Ky.,  and  his 
progeny  should  bring  splendid  figures  at  the  yearling  sales. 

The  year  1893  goes  down  in  history  as  the  greatest  up  to 
date  in  money  won  by  three-year-olds,  no  less  than  60  per- 
formers of  this  age  having  each  won  $5,000  or  "more  captur- 
ing 482  races  of  a  total  value  of  $678,939.  In  1887  27  horses 
won  a  total  of  155  races  and  $354,740  ;  30  in  18S0  landed  211 
races  and  $417,505  ;  io  1889  41  captured  261  races  and  $521,- 
284;  in  1880  45  wou  285  races  and  $580,851 ;  in  1891  three- 
year-olds  captured  443  races  of  a  combined  valuation  of 
$675,075,  while  in  1892  they  took  392  races  and  $668,946 
into  camp. 

The  entries  for  the  (stakes  which  closed  on  the  15th  inst.) 
to  be  decided  at  Saratoga  this  summer  showed  a  marked  in- 
crease over  thu^e  received  last  y^ar.  All  the  prominent  sta- 
bles, both  East  and  West,  with  the  exception  of  the  Blemton 
Stable,  have  made  nominations.  The  Iroquois,  Foxhall  and 
Travers  Stakes,  confiued  to  three  year- aids,  have  received  re- 
spectively 114,  79  and  73  entries,  while  those  for  two-year- 
olds  and  the  all-aged  division  show  a  large  increase.  The  to- 
tal number  of  entries  received  last  year  was  1,890,  whereas, 
in  the  present  occasion  2,533  have  been  made. 

W.  D.  Grand,  of  the  American  Horse  Exchange,  has  made 
the  following  further  purchases  of  thoroughbreds  for  ship- 
ment to  Canada :  Jay-Qu-El,  br  h,  a,  by  Vocalic-  -Francis 
L.;  Idaho,  b  c,  4,  by  Miser — Acquittal ;  Trinity,  ch  h,  6,  by 
Forester — imp.  British  Beauty;  Raveloe,  b  h,  a,  by  Joe  Hook- 
er— Illusion,  by  Alarm;  Lady  M.,  ch.  m,  a  by  Romney — Gri- 
vera;  Swallow,  ch  f,  by  Rayon  d'Or — Asteria;  Mazie,  ch  f,  by 
King  Alfonso — Mintdrop,  and  Susie  B.,  ch  f.  by  King  Ernest 
dam  bp  imp.  Maccaroon.  Mr.  Grant  is  still  in  the  market 
for  anything  extra  strong  and  large,  either  stallions  or  mares. 

H.  DeCourcey  Forbes,  president  of  the  New  York 
Jockey  Club  (Morris  Park),  attended  the  races  Tuesday  in 
company  with  his  intimate  friend,  John  R.  Follansbee.  Mr. 
Forbes,  who  is  a  most  genial  gentleman  that  makes  friends 
with  great  ease,  has  just  returned  from  Chihuahua,  Mexico, 
where  Mr.  Follansbee  owns  a  tremendously  large  rancho.  He 
will  remain  in  California  (of  which  he  has  a  most  excellent 
opinion)  for  about  ten  days,  when  he  will  return  to  his  home 
in  the  country's  metropolis.  Mr.  Forbes  is  president  of 
perhaps  the  greatest  racing  association  in  the  country,  and 

the  fame  of  Morris   Park  is  world-wide.     Mr.  F thinks 

racing  in  New  Jersey  is  about  killed  through  over-doing  it 
and  bringing  down  the  wrath  of  the  majority  of  the  people 
on  the  same.  

The  largest  entry  list  to  the  stakes  of  the  Kentucky  Asso- 
ciation received  in  years  is  that  which  has  just  filled.  The 
two-year-old  stakes  filled  as  follows  :  The  Melbourne  Stud — 
Five  furlongs,  eighty-three  entries;  the  Pepper,  for  fillies, 
four  and  a  half  furlongs,  eighty-one  entries;  the  La  Belle 
Stud,  five  furlongs,  seventy-seven  entries;  Ashland  Oaks — 
For  three-year-old  fifties,  one  mile,  twenty-seven  entries ; 
The  Phcenix  Hotel — For  three -year-olds,  one  mile  and  an 
eighth,  |twenty-four  entries  ;  the  Distillers',  for  three-year- 
olds  and  upward,  one  mile  and  an  eighth,  seventeen  entries  ; 
the  L.  &  G.  Straus,  selling,  'lor  three-year-olds  and  upward, 
one  mile,  forty-one  entries.  Several  hundred  mares  have  been 
named  in  the  Breeders'  Futurity  to  be  run  at  the  spring 
meeting  in  1896.  

The  Iowa  State  Agricultural  Society  has  entered  upon  a 
new  departure  in  the  racing  attractions  of  its  next  fair. 
Hitherto  the  race  programme  of  the  great  Des  Moines  pump- 
kin show  has  contained  running  and  trotting  events  on  all 
days  of  the  meeting,  but  this  season  a  Derby  is  to  be  insti- 
tuted, and  one  afternoon  devoted  to  the  thoroughbreds.  Des 
Moines  has  in  the  neighborhood  of  60,000  people,  and  with- 
out the  outside  attendance  which  always  flocks  to  the  annual 
State  Fairs,  should  be  able  to  maintain  one  day  of  running 
sport  in  excellent  shape.  Every  addition  to  the  purse-paying 
brigade  of  associations  is  for  the  good  of  the  horse-breeding 
interest,  and  thoroughbred  breeding  in  the  Hawkeye  State 
should  receive  quite  a  fillip  from  the  taking  of  such  a  pro- 
gressive step.  

Boundless  heads  the  list  of  winning  three-year-olds  of 
1893  with  $57,050  to  his  credit,  while  Sir  Walter,  $40,120,  is 
second  on  the  Hat.  In  looking  back  to  previous  years  we  find 
that  in  1887  Hanover  headed  the  list  of  winning  three-year- 
olds  with  $89,827  to  his  credit,  while  Firenzi  was  next  with 
$24,775.  Sir  Dixon  in  18^8  led  with  $37,929,  while  Emperor 
of  Norfolk  took  second  with  $36,710.  The  largest  winner 
of  1889  was  Salvator,  who  enriched  his  owner  $71,380,  while 
Longstreet  was  next  in  line,  his  victories  that  season  bringing 
in  $30,060.  In  1890  Tournament,  with  $89,755,  headed  the 
list,  Burlington  ranking  next  with  $30,305.  In  1891  the 
front  position  was  held  by  Strathmeath  with  $37,040, Potomac 
second  with  $36,190.  In  1892  Tammany  was  the  largest  win- 
ning three-year-old,  capturing  $72,310,  Lamplighter  second 
with  $50,470.  

A  VAST  amount  of  space  has  been  devoted  this  winter,  both 
by  the  daily  and  turf  press,  to  the  Kendall  Stable.  The  latest 
bulletin  is  that  Yo  Tambien  and  Maid  Marian  are 
both  spavined.  George  Hankins  refused  to  buy  Yo  Tambien 
because  she  was  unsound  ;  but  nevertheless  it  is  surprising  to 
hear  that  she  is  suHeriug  from  a  well-developed  "jack."  Even 
this,  however,  might  be  believed,  were  it  not  stated  that 
Maid  Marian's  spavin  is  located  on  her  knee.  It  is  a  fact 
that  a  case  of  estitis  occasionally  develops  in  the  knee-joint 
— Pearl  Jennings  suffered  from  such  an  injury — but  a  spavin 
on  a  knee  is,  according  to  the  best  veterinary  authority  in 
Chicago,  like  the  most  of  the  stories  about  the  Kendall 
Stable  the  emanation  of  some  dailv  reporter's  fertile  brain. 
It  passes  belief  that  such  good  mares  should  be  allowed  to 
become  so  lamentably  unsound  during-the  winter  months. — 
Exchange. 


Ill-luck  seems  to  dog  the  footsteps  of  Fred.  Eshner.  Now 
he  has  lost  the  good  three-year-old,  Sunglimpse,  by  Falsetto 
— SiiDgleam,by  King  Alfonso.  The  colt  died  Monday  night, 
January  22d,  as  Morris  Park,  where  Eshner  has  his  horses, 
of  some  internal  complaint.  This  is  the  colt  that  pulled  him 
out  a  good  deal  last  year.  Mr.  M.  F.  Dwyer  is  aaid  to  have  of- 
fered $8,000  for  him. 

Manager  Pate  is  again  at  work  booming  his  Mexican 
racing  venture.  An  unfortunate  matter  in  connection  with 
the  scheme  was  the  selection  of  the  locality  for  the  track  site. 
The  ground  was  alow-lying  flat,  into  which  all  the  sewage  of 
the  great  city  is  trained.  It  was  a  very  unhealthy  place,  and 
typhus  fever  broke  out  among  those  living  at  and  near  the 
track.  Another  reason  for  the  failure  was  the  printing  of 
the  programme  in  English  and  the  selling  of  the  pools  in  the 
same  language,  which  the  people  did  not  understand. 

It  is  officially  announced  that  the  Derby  of  Moscow,  Rus- 
sia, of  the  value  of  $20,000,  was  given  for  the  last  time  in 
1893.  The  Imperial  Association  has  decided  to  replace  it  by 
another  event,  which  shall  be  known  under  the  name  of 
Grand  Prix  de  Moscow,  for  Russian-bred  three-year-olds ; 
distance  one  mile,  and  purse  $9,600,  to  be  divided  among  the 
first  four  to  the  wire.  One  hundred  entries  have  already  been 
made,  eighty-eight  from  Moscow  and  twelve  from  St.  Peters- 
burg.   

Bad  news  comes  from  Eugene  Leigh's  La  Belle  Stock  Farm 
at  Yarnallton,  Ky.  Catarrhal  fever  has  broken  out  among 
his  horses,  and  such  famous  racers  as  Clifford  and  Lazzarone 
are  among  the  sufferers.  Fortunately  at  last  accounts  neither 
of  these  great  horses  had  the  disease  in  a  severe  form.  Ducat, 
however,  was  in  very  bad  condition,  and  the  recovery  of  the 
good  colt  was  regarded  as  unlikely.  Mr.  Leigh  is  taking 
every  step  possible  to  check  the  disease,  which  might  cause 
him  serious  loss  should  it  spread  through  h's  big  string  of  75 
racers. 

There  are  close  to  400  horses  at  Lexington  being  worked 
over  the  course  there.  E.  C.  Headley  owner  and  trainer  of 
John  Cooper,  has  a  good  looking  stable  of  two-year-olds. 
Cooper  has  developed  into  a  great  three-year-old  and  should 
fulfill  expectations  this  year.  Elmer  Railey,  who  developed 
Pearl  song  and  Semper  Fidele  and  sold  them  for  $10,000 
each  in  their  two-year  old  form,  says  he  has  some  better 
material  in  training  than  ever  before.  Murphy  &  Halloway 
have  Faraday,  Audubon,  Anna  and  Pocahontas  at  the  head 
of  their  string  and  are  doing  well  with  their  youngsters. 
Leigh  &  Rose  have  the  largest  and  strongest  string  of  colts  in 
Kentucky. 

There  is  somewhat  of  a  similiarity  between  the  turf  life  of 
Salvator  and  Tammany.  Both  lost  races  as  two-year-olds; 
in  their  three-year-old  form  both  were  beaten  only  once, 
while  as  four-year-olds  neither  lost  a  race.  Both  belonged  to 
turfmen  living  in  the  far  West,  while  both  were  trained 
throughout  their  career  by  Matt  Byrnes.  Salvator  went  to 
the  stud  when  five  years  old,  and  so  now  Tammany  goes  at 
the  same  age.  It  is  a  pity  these  two  great  horses  were  not 
out  in  the  same  years  and  could  thus  have  met  and  decided 
which  was  the  better  race  horse.  As  it  ip,  however,  it  is  bet- 
ter for  each  horse,  as  both  now  have  supremacy  honors, 
while  had  they  met  one  or  the  other  would  have  lost  his 
laurels. 

Reports  from  England  say  that  the  Duke  of  Westminster 
proposes  in  future  to  develop  his  stud  stable  at  Eaton  Hall, 
and  to  go  in  more  extensively  for  the  breeding  of  high  class 
racehorses.  With  this  object  in  view  His  Grace  is  construct- 
ing new  and  extensive  stud  premises  at  Churton  by  Alford, 
about  three  miles  from  the  present  stud  stables  in  tbe  park 
near  Eccleston.  The  Duke  of  Westminster  takes  the  greatest 
possible  interest  in  the  breeding  and  management  of  racehorses 
at  the  Eccleston  Stud  Stables,  which  have  turned  out  so  many 
nuble  animals  to  carry  His  Grace's  colors  to  victory.  Here 
at  present  are  established  Bend  Or,  Blue  Green,  Arklow  and 
Gensalvo,  the  last  named  hired  for  the  season  from  Mr. 
Green.  With  the  increased  accommodation  provided  at 
Churton,  the  Duke  of  Westminster  will  have  two  of  the  most 
commodious  stud  stables  in  the  kingdom. 

In  reviewing  the  careers  of  some  promiuent  turfmen,  an 
exchange  tells  us  that :  "  Fred  Foster,  one  of  the  most  suc- 
cessful horse  owners  on  the  Western  turf,  ran  a  saloon  in  St. 
Paul  a  few  years  ago.  John  McCaflerty  about  concluded  to 
study  law  at  the  outset  of  his  career,  but  got  to  riding  quarter 
races.  As  a  result  the  legal  profession  lost  a  shining  light. 
Not  so  many  years  ago  Byron  McClelland  was  clerking  in  a 
newspaper  office  in  his  native  town.  Barney  Schreiber  scarcely 
tour  years  ago  was  a  clerk  in  a  drygoods  store  in  Kansas  City. 
Tommy  Shannon,  who  has  made  a  small  fortune  on  the  turf, 
once  sold  papers  on  the  streets  of  Lexington.  The  time  was 
when  Johnny  Campbell  was  a  cowboy  on  the  plains,  and 
Green  Morris  also  learned  his  first  lesson  of  the  horse  and  his 
peculiarities  in  a  similar  locality.  Truly  the  turf  has  bound- 
less opportunities  to  those  with  a  lucky  streak  in  their  compo- 
sition.   

The  greatest  leap  in  the  dark  ever  made  by  horse  and 
rider,  from  which  the  latter  survived  to  tell  the  tale,  was  that 
made  by  a  young  officer,  afterwards  known  as  Major-General 
W.  Yorke  Moore.  It  took  place  of  a  dark  June  night  in 
1848,  at  the  Island  of  St.  Dominica,  in  the  West  Indies. 
Moore,  who  commanded  the  troops  on  the  island  as  colonel, 
lost  bis  way  in  the  dark.  He  came  to  several  little  objects 
imperceptible  to  him,  which  he  forceo  his  horse  to  surmount. 
At  last  something,  which  his  horse  greatly  dreaded  to  face, 
was  in  his  onward  route.  The  soldier,  after  several  vain  at- 
tempts to  persuade  his  horse  to  proceed  (as  the  Colonel 
thought)  straight  towards  home,  ultimately  put  the  animal  at 
almost  full  speed,  violently  spurring  his  sides  the  while.  The 
horse  violently  jumped  into  the  air,  clearing  what  proved  to 
be  a  little  low  ledge,  to  drop  237  feet  perpendicular  height 
upon  the  rocks  by  the  seaside.  As  if  to  support  the  theory 
that  when  a  man  sits  properly  in  his  saddle,  it  is  the  horse, 
and  not  he,  who  suffers  by  a  tumble — for  Moore  says,  "  dur- 
ing the  fall  I  stuck  to  my  horse" — every  bone  in  the  steed's 
body  was  broken,  while  his  master  escaped  alive  with  severe 
cuts  about  the  body  and  head,  a  dislocated  ankle,  and  a  back 
benumbed  by  the  concussion  of  the  fall.  On  recovery  from 
the  shock,  Moore  sent  an  artist  to  make  a  drawing  of  the 
spot,  and  an  engineer  to  survey  the  place.  The  drop  was 
considerably  more  than  half  the  height  of  St.  Paul's  and 
double  the  height  of  the  Duke  of  York's  column  at  the 
bottom  of  Regent  street.  Such  an  extraordinary  tale  is  almost 
incredible,  but  it  is  given  by  a  general  of  high  character  in  a 
letter  dated  "  University  Service  Club,  18lh  March,  I860.'' —

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


Entries  for  the  Fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A. 
closed  on  Thursday,  and  as  many  entries  are  mailed  on 
the  date  of  closing,  some  of  which  do  not  reach  the  Sec- 
retary for  two  or  three  days  after,  the  list  is  not  complete 
for  publication  in  time  for  this  week,  but  will  appear  in 
our  next  issue.  From  present  indications  the  Associa- 
tion will  receive  a  larger  number  of  entries  at  this  meet- 
ing than  at  any  ptevious  meeting.  About  fifty  new  mem- 
bers have  joined  and  made  entries.  The  prospects  are 
bright  for  a  prosperous  season  ior  harness  races.  Secre- 
taries throughout  the  State  will  do  well  to  study  the  pro- 
gramme of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  1!.  A.  for  this  year  and  note 
the  entries  received,  and  if  they  are  a  sufficient  number 
to  warrant  it,  follow  the  plan  adopted. 


Everybody  Becoming  Interested. 

When  Hexter  made  his  wonderful  record  of  2:1! 
Buffalo,  New  York,  Aagual  1  l,  [867,  there  was  not  a 
farmer,  horsebreeder,  merchant  or  mechanic  in  America 
who  did  not  prelict  that  that  mark  would  never  be 
lowered.  "Darter  the  King!"  was  the  topic  of  con- 
veraation  among  all  classes;  and  many  people  were  bold 
enough  to  make  the  assertion  that  lie  was  only  an 
>  "ident,  that  a  in  in  might  be  breeding  fir  fifty  yean 
ana  never  get  one  that  would  trot  near  the  mark    set  by 


this  bay  son  of  Hambletonian.  When  he  was  bred  it 
never  was  imagined  that  he  would  be  the  first  great 
tro'.ter  to  blaze  a  path  through  the  forest  of  trotting 
experiments  and  show  the  world  that  there  was  a  new 
field  for  investigation,  a  meadow  for  evergreen  thought, 
and  a  horizon  of  hope  that  thousands  might  look  upon 
with  advantage,  if  they  would  only  investigate  a  little 
and  see  what  possibilites  were  before  them,  for  the  great 
question  of  breeding  to  beget  speed  "  was  wrapped  in  the 
swaddling  clothes  of  infancy"  when  he  was  winning 
races  and  rapidly  striding  toward  the  goal  so  many  of 
his  predecessors  had  tried  so  hard  to  reach. 

The  value  of  thoroughbred  blood  in  the  trotter  ;  in- 
breeding to  get  speed  ;  the  search  after  pacing  crosses  ; 
the  need  of  producing  dams ;  the  use  of  tips  and  toe 
weights  ;  the  appearance  of  bike  sulkies,  the  building  of 
kindergartens  to  develop  baby  trotters  ;  the  manufacture 
of  boots  to  prevent  the  limbs  of  the  fleet-footed  ones 
from  being  injured,  all  these,  and  many  other  ideas  and 
improvements  were  unheard  of  at  that  time. 

The  swelling  of  the  ranks  of  trotting  horse  breeders 
by  the  addition  of  men  of  wealth,  and  influence  in  this 
great  land  then  began.  Many  who  had  in  their  early  lives 
been  reared  in  the  country  and  whose  love  for  good  horses 
hid  not  faded  as  they  battled  with  each  other  in  the 
piths  of  commercial  life  went  into  it  by  the  score. 
Bankers,  lawyers,  statesmen,  engineers,  sea  captains  and, 
in  fact,  all  capitalists  who  were  eager  to  gratify  their 
natural  fondness  for  breeding  trotters  and  driving  those 
which  they  had  raised,  saw  that  in  the  growing  business 
large  sums  of  money  could  be  made,  while  at  the  same 
time  the  opportunities  for  experimenting  in  crossing  the 
various  families,  and  selecting  different  representatives, 
of  the  fashionable  strains,  afforded  them  many  hours  of 
untold  pleasure.  Some  enjoyed  it  as  an  amusement, 
others  spent  days,  weeks  and  months  in  proving  that  by 
the  results  of  their  labors  in  breeding  they  were  able  to 
show  to  the  hundred  anxious  followers  in  the  new  indus- 
try that  they  could  achieve  success. 

In  the  search  after  horses  of  good  color  and  stylish 
conformation  (but  with  pedigrees  overflowing  with 
great  trotting  strains),  the  idea  of  getting  an  indi- 
vidual that  would  trot  evenly  and  fast  was  seldom 
considered.  In  the  selection  of  their  mares,  the  same 
fatal  mistake  was  made.  Sisters  and  brothers  to  per- 
formers were  sought  after  by  another  class  of  breeders ; 
it  mattered  not  whether  they  would  ever  be  able  to  jog 
in  front  of  the  judges'  stand  at  a  five-minute  gait,  as  long 
as  they  were  "  bred  in  the  purple."  Another  class  sought 
a  splendidly-bred  stallion — one  that  had  a  record  of 
2:30,  and  when  they  had  him  safely  housed  in  the 
big  box-stall  they  visited  all  the  stock  farms  wherever 
cheap  mares  were  sold,  and  stocked  their  places,  believ- 
ing that  the  very  name  and  record  of  the  stallion  would 
be  enough  to  make  every  one  of  those  mares  that  were 
bred  to  their  horse  produce  colts  and  fillies  that  would 
trot  at  a  2:30  gait  when  yearlings.  Another  class,  with 
more  money  than  experience,  purchased  thoroughbred 
mares  that  had  not  speed  enough  to  be  placed  among 
those  which  appear  in  the  summaries  as  members  of  the 
"also  ran  "  fraternity.  These  mares  were  crazy-headed, 
spindle-shanked  and  wasp-waisted,  and  totally  un- 
fit for  anything  on  earth ;  but,  because  there  was  a 
cross  to  Planet,  one  to  Margrave,  two  to  Boston  and  a 
number  of  other  great  thoroughbreds,  by  breeding  them 
to  their  trotting  sire  they  would  get  world-beaters.  They 
never  stopped  to  study  the  head,  or,  in  other  words,  the 
disposition  of  the  mare,  and  as  for  jogging  her  over 
the  road  to  see  if  she  had  any  'rotting  action,  such  labor 
was  entirely  out  of  the  question. 

Another  ciass  who  believed  there  was  nothing  like  the 
old  Morgans  or  Blackbawks,  started  in  with  a  determina- 
tion to  prove  that  they  would  be  able  to  get  campaigners 
that  had  not  a  drop  of  Hambletonian  or  Mambrino  Chief 
blood  in  their  veins,  but  without  much  success. 

There  were  many  other  enthusiasts  on  the  breeding 
problem  who  courted  failure  in  a  similar  way,  because 
they  had  impracticable  fads  and  did  not  devote  sufficient 
thought  to  the  subject  to  enable  them  to  get  within  a 
quarter-mile  of  prosperity  on  the  race  track  to  wealth  ; 
in  fact,  they  were  distanced  completely  after  setting  the 
pace  at  various  portions  of  the  never-ending  course. 

The  many  qualifications  so  essential  to  success  in  the 
business  were  never  made  so  apparent  to  them  a3  in 
1898.  The  adoption  of  new  methods  of  training  and 
developing,  the  introduction  of  the  "bike,"  the  hang- 
ing up  of  large  purses  for  colts  and  fillies  by  our  trotting 
associations  everywhere,  all  go  hand  in  hand  with  the 
efforts  of  the  men  of  wealth  who  have  succeeded  in  the 
business  of  breeding  trotters,  because  these  students  were 
endowed  with   foresight  and  business  acumen  to  keep  up 


with  the  demands  of  the  times.  In  reviewing  the  careers 
of  every  one  of  these  men  it  is  ascertained  that,  when 
they  began  wrong,  they  quickly  disposed  of  the  stock  on 
hand  and  sought  better  and  more  fashionable  strains,  and 
then  realizing  that  they  must,  in  order  to  make  money, 
have  all  of  their  colts  and  fillies  trained  and  given  as  low- 
records  in  races  as  possible,  unhesitatingly  consented. 
In  this  way,  they  kept  their  stock  not  only  before  the  pub- 
lic, but  also  before  all  other  colts  and  fillies  these  young- 
sters met  on  the  tracks,  hence  every  breeder  wanted  to 
purchase  animals  related  to  them. 

This  example,  set  by  these  successful  men,  is  being  ap- 
preciated and  followed  by  our  progressive  breeders  now. 
The  man  who  has  colts  and  fillies,  and  does  not  develop 
them  for  the  track,  will  soon  leave  the  business,  and  the 
sooner  for  his  own  sake  that  he  does  so,  the  better.  The 
associations,  as  stated  above,  are  offering  larger  stakes 
and  better  inducements  for  owners  to  have  their  stock  de- 
veloped, and  in  this  and  every  other  way  they  are  striving 
to  accommodate  and  encourage  breeders.  A  well-bred  colt 
that  can  trot  fast  and  is  well  engaged  in  all  the  big  stakes 
will  bring  as  much  money  to-day  at  a  sale  as  he  would 
at  any  time.  This  is  acknowledged  by  all  the  prominent 
drivers  ip.  the  United  States. 

Xo  man  need  expect  to  get  a  high  price  now 
for  a  trotter  that  cannot  trot,  no  more  than  he  would  for 
a  farm  that  would  not  produce,  an  engine  that  would  not 
run,  a  shi^  that  could  not  sail,  nor  a  mine  that  would  not 
yield.  It  is  a  plain  mat'er-of-faet  business  proposition. 
The  day  has  passed  into  oblivion  when  a  man  could  take 
a  well-bred  colt  or  filly  into  a  salesring  and  sell  him  for 
a  long  price  by  saying  he  ought,  from  his  breeding,  make 
a  campaigner.  The  breeders  and  trainers  have,  like  their 
trotters,  kept  up  with  the  times  in  the  development  of 
those  attributes  so  essential  to  success.  They  have  been 
taught  in  the  strict  school  of  practical  experience  the 
lessons  of  the  hour.  They  do  not  expect  to  gather  figs 
from  thistles,  thereforethere  is  reason  for  rejoicing  that  an 
era  of  usefulness  is  dawning,  for  in  three  years  we  shall 
see  a  vast  improvement  in  the  number  of  good  horses 
available  for  track  and  road  purposes.  "Breed  and  weed 
out  the  poor  ones,"  was  the  motto  in  the  past;  it  is  "weed 
out  the  poor  and  breed  only  the  best  "  that  is  placed 
over  the  gateway  of  every  stock  farm  in  the  land  to-day. 
The  future  for  the  trotting  horse  industry  is  not  dark  if 
the  people  who  are  engaged  in  it  will  use  the  light  of 
reason  that  the  experience  of  others  has  shown  them. 


Longer  Races  "Wanted. 


The  long  spell  of  wet  weather,  while  very  welcome  to 
the  farmers  in  California,  had  a  most  depressing  effect 
upon  the  owners  of  fast  horses  at  the  Bay  District  Track. 
Only  the  sprinters  that  were  known  to  be  mud-larks 
appeared  upon  the  sloppy  track  to  cover  themselves  and 
their  jockeys  with  mud  and  glory.  The  course  having 
received  a  coating  of  yellow  clay  only  a  week  before  the 
rains  fell,  was  hardly  fit  to  be  raced  upon,  but  the 
endeavor  of  the  directors  of  the  Jockey  Club,  were  not  to 
be  hindered  by  this,  so  the  "  short  horses"  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  earning  money,  even  if  the  weather  was  cloudy 
and  the  rain  fell. 

Taking  the  first  two  weeks  of  February  in  each  of  the 
preceding  years  we  find  that  fair  weather  has  been  the 
rule.  Now  that  the  track  has  become  dry  and  springy 
enough  for  good  racing,  it  is  hoped  that  there  will  be 
fewer  selling  events  and  that  longer  races  will  be  in 
vogue.  Let  us  have  one  race  a  week  of  two  miles  and 
a  quarter,  and  on  Washington's  Birthday  a  grand  four- 
mile  event.  It  has  been  proven  that  many  of  the  very 
fastest  horses  on  a  track  at  short  distances  can  go  two 
miles  or  even  four,  if  necessary,  provided  liberal  purses 
are  offered.  The  attendance  at  a  four-mile  race,  as 
every  one  conversant  with  the  race  horse  history  of 
California  knows,  will  be  four  times  as  large  as  it  is  at 
present. 

We  offer  these  suggestions  and  hope  in  our  next  issue 
to  proclaim  the  glad  news  that  we  will  see  such  long  races 
at  the  Bav  District  course. 


If  any  of  our  readers  doubt  the  growth  of  the  thor- 
oughbred interests  in  California,  there  is  only  one  way  to 
convince  them,  and  that  is  to  look  over  the  list  of  grandly- 
bred  thoroughbred  stallions  that  are  advertised  in  this 
issue.  There  are  worthy  representatives  of  Australia, 
England  and  America  in  the  little  company, whose  blood 
line*  are  not  equaled  in  any  part  of  the  world,  and  before 
the  meeting  at  the  Bay  District  course  ends,  a  large  num- 
ber of  mares  that  have  earned  fame  on  the  track  will  be 
relegated  to  duty  as  matrons  on  our  stock  farms.  The 
successful  sales  of  thoroughbred  stock  and  the  enthusiasm 
shown  by  our  people  in  this  great  and  growing  industry,

has  caused  our  Eastern  visitors  to  wonder  why  this  great 
country  (this  home  of  the  thoroughbred),  has  been  for  so 
many  years  kept  in  the  dart,  eclipsed,  as  it  were,  by  the 
brightness  of  the  blue-grass  region  of  Kentucky.  "  West- 
ward, the  star  of  empire  takes  its  way."  This  quotation 
fits  the  horse-breeding  industry  very  aptly,  and  "  West- 
ward all  buyers  will  come  some  day,"  will  be  its  com- 
panion notice  on  the  same  banner  that  led  so  many 
to  our   shores  many  years  ago. 


The  Palo  Alto  Sale. 


■  Weights     For     the     Metropolitan      Handicap. 


About  sixty  head  of  Palo  ilto  trotting  stock  was  sold  at 
Los  Angeles  January  30,  1S94.  Buyers  were  few  and  bid- 
ding very  slow.  The  average  for  the  sale  was  $116.  A  large 
number  of  geldings  were  included  in  the  lot.  The  following 
brought  $100  and  over  : 


The  Holly  Sale. 

B.  C.  Holly's  race  horses  were  disposed  ot  at  auction  yes- 
terday at  Bay  District  track.  A  large  crowd  was  in  attend- 
ance, and  a  number  of  representative  turfmen  were  noted  in 
the  assemblage.  The  sale  was  a  success  from  every  point  of 
view.  Centurion,  the  magnificent  son  of  imp.  Cheviot,  went  to 
the  nod  of  ibe  famous  bookmaker,  Joe  UUman,  as  did  the 
game-to  the-core,  pony-built  Happy  Day.  Centurion  brought 
$2,200;  Happy  Day,  $2,050-  At  these  figures  they  were  ex- 
cellent bargains.  It  almost  broke  Mr.  Holly's  heart  to  part 
with  Happy  Day.  In  1893  the  little  horse  captured  twenty 
races,  and  won  more  money  for  the  Flosden  turfman  than 
any  horse  that  he  ever  owned. 

"Mr.  L'llman,  you  have  doubtless  owned  many  good  horses 
but  you  never  had  a  gamer  one  than  Happy  Day,"  said  Holly,, 
after  the  sale  to  the  purchaser  of  the  little  horse,  as  he  wiped 
the  tears  from  his  eyes. 

The  following  prices  were  obtained  :

The  Palace  Hotel. 

The  objective  point  of  all  tourists  from  Europe,  Asia,  Aus- 
tralia and  the  East,' is  San  Francisco,  the  widely  advertised 
Midwinter  Fair  with  its  wonderful  exhibits,  is  attracting  the 
attention  of  thousands  of  people,  and  by  steamer  and  rail  they 
are  coming.  The  principal  hotel,  and  the  one  in  which  they 
can  enjoy  all  the  comforts  of  modern  civilization,  is  the  world- 
famed  Palace  Hotel.  In  the  big  white  court  bands  of  music 
play  nightly.  In  the  billiard  room,  grill  room  and  office  are 
to  be  seen  people  from  every  land  and  clime.  The  "  horse- 
men's headquarters,"  as  this  hotel  is  properly  called,  is  fre- 
queoted  Joy  turf  followers  and  their  friends.  Around  the 
billiard  room  on  cosy  settees,  will  be  noticed  groups  of  men 
conversing  opon  the  topics  of  the  day.  The  latest  races,  the 
greatest  stallions,  all  these  are  interspersed  with  stories  of 
early  life  in  California.  Everybody  meets  everybody  else  at 
the  Palace.  The  excellence  of  the  management,  the  elegant 
rooms,  the  splendid  service,  the  attentiveness  of  the  em- 
ployes all  contribute  to  uphold  the  reputation  this  hotel 
earned  many  years  ago.  No  other  hotel  in  the  world  is  like 
it  in  these  respects,  and  we  do  not  hesitate  to  recommend  all 
visitors  to  this  city  to  register  there. 

A  great  deal  in  thoroughbred  horseflesh  has  just  been 
consummated.  By  the  terms  of  the  agreement  W.  O'B.  Mac- 
donough  secures  by  lease  from  the  Stanford  estate  nine  of  the 
greatest  broodmares  in  this  country.  The  mares  will  be  bred 
to  the  51-50.000  horse,  Ormonde,  and  Macdonough  is  to  have 
the  colt  foals  and  the  Stanford  estate  all  the  fillies. 
The  mares  secured,  all  imported  from  England  are  as  follows: 
Flirt  (dam  of  Flambeau  and]  Flirtation),  by  Hermit;  Gorgo 
(by  Isonomy — Flirt)  Fairy  Rose  (dam  of  Racine  and  Fairy), 
byKisber;  Amelia  (dam  of  Nomad  and  Rinfax),  by  Low- 
lander  ;  Teardrop  (dam  of  Cvrus,  Brutus  and  Tearless),  by 
Scottish  Chief;  Queen  Be=s  (dam  of  Nero),  by  Strathconan  ; 
Cornelia  (dam  of  Cadmus),  by  Isonomy;  Music  (dam  of 
Princess),  by  Prince  Charlie,  aad  Getaway  (dam  of  Geneva), 
by  Balfe.  These  mares  are  to  be  sent  to  the  Macdonough 
ranch  about  the  12th  of  this  month,  and  the  fruits  of  these 
unions  will  be  watched  with  great  interest. 
♦ 

Ed  CoRBIGAX  raised  the  winner  of  the  Flood  Stakes,  Joe 
Murphy,  and  owns  both  sire  and  dam.  Isaac  Murphy,  the 
colt's  sire,  is  by  Virgil  (sire  of  Hindoo),  dam  Mary  Howard 
(dam  of  the  great  race  mare,  Pearl  Jennings),  by  imp.  Hart- 
ingtoo.  Joe  Murphy's  dam,  Hattie  Harris,  is  by  Marma- 
duke,  dam  Pirouette  (dam  of  the  good  Montana  filly,  Eos), 
by  Harvey  Villian;  second  dam  Farfaletta  (dam  of  Falsetto 
and  Fortuna),  by  imp.  Australian.  A.  Y.  Stephenson's  good 
colt,  Faro,  is  closely  related  to  Joe  Murphy,  his  dam,  Avon- 
dale,  being  a  full  sister  to  Hattie  Harris,  dam  of  Joe  Mur- 
phy. Marmaduke  .vas  by  Enquirer,  dam  Catina,  by  imp. 
Australian. 

Dolly  Mac,  full  sister  to  the  good  performer  Dolly  Mc- 
Cone,  met  death  yesterday  at  Bay  District  course.  A  stable 
boy  was  speeding  her  around  the  track,  when  she  shied  to- 
ward the  rails,  jumped  the  fence  at  the  eighth-pole  and 
broke  a  leg.  A  bullet  put  an  end  to  her  agony.  She  was  a 
most  promising  filly,  and  was  recently  leased  by  W.  O'B. 
Macdonough  from  ex-Senator  James  G.  Fair. 

McKixxet,  2:11  V,  and  Gossiper,  2:14},  wiK  not  be  at 
Pleasanton  until  February  loth;  upon  that  date  their  seasons 
commence. 

Green  Hock  will  in  all  probability  be  put  over  "  the 
sticks"  soon  by  bis  new  owner,  Jockey  Allmark. 

Imp.  Music  (dam  of  Princess)  slunk  her  foal  by  imp.  Cy- 
rus a  few  days  ago.  

Don't  expect  the  horse  papers  to  do  all  vour  advertising 
for  the  fun  of  it.  The  printer  and  his  family  don't  exist  at 
the  expense  of  the  charity  fund. 

Don't  get  excited  if  there  is  an  error  in  a  news  item  con- 
cerning your  horses.  The  perfect  man  has  not  yet  put  in  an 
appearance  on  this  earth.

Green  Morris'  Two-Year- Olds. 


New  Orleans,  Jan.  22. — G-.  B.  Morris7  two-year-olds  that 
arrived  at  the  track  last  week  from  Gravesend  are  as  fine  a 
looking  lot  of  the  age  as  one  could  wish  to  see. 

There  are  five  of  them  and  all  are  quiet,  well  broken 
youngsters.  The  one  which  on  account  of  breeding,  if  for  no 
other  reason,  will  attract  most  attention  is  a  handsome,  dark 
bay  filly,  which  has  been  named  Sallie  Woodford.  She  is 
by  Salvator,  the  mighty  connuior  of  Tenny,  and  her  dam  is 
little  less  distinguished,  being  Miss  Woodford,  one  of  the 
fleetest  mares  the  American  turf  has  ever  known. 

Sallie  Woodford  is  a  rangy  dark  bay  filly,  whose  only 
mark  is  a  very  small  white  star  on  her  forehead.  She  stands 
15  hands  2  inches  in  height,  has  plenty  of  size  and  as  clean 
a  set  of  legs  as  one  ever  sees  under  a  thoroughbred.  In 
color  she  resembles  her  dam,  while  in  bodily  conformation 
she  is  very  much  like  her  great  sire.  Mr.  Morris  bought  her 
at  the  Haggin's  sale  in  ^vew  York  last  spring,  payiDg  for  her 
as  a  yearling  $5,000.  In  the  same  lot  is  a  big  bodied,  dark 
bay  colt,  marked  with  a  white  star  on  the  forehead  and  two 
white  hind  legs.  He  is  a  product  of  Milton  Young's  Mc- 
Grathiana  stud,  near  Lexington,  Ky.,  and  is  by  the  great 
Hanover  out  of  a  Longfellow  mare,  Ella  Pinkerton,  and  has 
been  named  Overells. 

The  others  are  Cottage  Girl,  a  racy-looking  solid  bay  filly, 
by  Hidalgo  out  of  Pink  Cottage;  Moderocia,  a  highly  tried 
filly  by  SirModred,  dam  Preciosa,  and  Fannie  Willoughby, 
a  handsome  miss,  who  will  not  be  two  years  old  till  nest 
July.  She  is  by  Vagabond  (the  sire  of  Judge  Morrow),  her 
dam  being  Miss  Willoughby.  They  are  a  fine  looking  lot 
indeed  and  are  well  engaged  in  stake  events  for  this  year  and 
next  in  the  West,  as  well  as  in  the  East. 


Stmdebaker    Souvenir. 


This  is  the  title  of  one  of  the  neatest  and  most  elegantly 
printed  little  books  ever  issued  by  a  manufacturing  firm  in 
the  United  States.  The  members  of  theStudebaker  Brothers 
Manufacturing  Company  of  South  Bend,  Indiana,  never  do 
anything  by  halves,  and  this  little  illustrated  souvenir  of  the 
carriages,  buggies,  carts  and  vehicles  of  all  kinds,  which  they 
manufacture,  is  in  accord  with  the  goods  represented.  From 
the  inside  title  whereon  is  depicted  a  rural  scene  represent- 
ee first  Studebaker  shop  at  Gettysburgh,  Pennsylvania  in 
1850,  to  the  bird's  eye  views  of  their  buildings  which  cover 
acres,  there  is  much  information  in  regard  to  manufacturing 
vehicles  to  be  gained.  The  colored  lithographs  are  well  exe- 
cuted and  reflect  great  credit  on  the  artists.  This  enterpris- 
ing firm,  besides  its  mammoth  wareroomson  Tenth  and  Mar- 
ket streets,  has  a  splendid  exhibition  at  the  Midwinter  Fair, 
and  thousands  crowd  around  it  to  get  a  glimpse  of  the  well- 
made,  beautifully-proportioned  carriages,  buggies  and  sulkies 
there.    Such  enterprise  on  the  part  of  our  visitors  deserves 

success. 

* 

In  another  column  will  be  found  advertised  the  great  young 
Longfellow  stallion,  Fellowcharm,  sire  of  the  winners,  Chero- 
kee and  The  Mallard.  Fellowcharm  is  one  of  the  best  bred 
horses  in  the  country,  and  a  more  than  promising  sire.  He 
is  quartered  at  the  old  Winters  ranch,  near  Sacramento,  and 
his  service  fee  has  been  placed  at  the  small  sum  of  $50. 


M.  A.  Gunst,  the  popular  local  agent  for  the  General  Ar- 
thur Cigar,  is  entitled  to  great  credit  for  the  sagacity  and  en- 
terprise he  displayed  in  getting  up  the  General  Arthur  Cigar 
Stakes.  The  event  was  guaranteed  worth  $1,000  by  Mr. 
Gunst,  and  was  absolutely  the  most  interesting  race  of  either 
great  meeting. 

Marvin  says  the  currycomb  should  be  banished  from  the 
stable.

M.  F.  Sanders'  Opinion. 

We  take  the  liberty  of  publishing  the  following  letter  from 
the  weil-known  horseman,  Millard  F.  Sanders,  who  has  re- 
cently assumed  charge  of  the  training  department  of  the 
Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  : 

"I  arrived  at  Oakwood  Park  and  have  taken  up  a  number  of 
colts  to  develop  by  Steinway,  Derby  and  Prince  Red.  As  yet 
I  have  not  selected  any  choice  ones,  as  they  all  show  remark- 
ably well.  The  farm  that  raised  Wood,  Diablo,  Free  Coinage, 
etc.,  ought  surely  to  have  some  more  equally  as  good,  and  that 
this  year,  age,  considered. 

To  make  a  long  story  short,  I  am  well,  if  not  better  pleased 
with  the  colts  at  this  farm  than  I  have  ever  been  before,  as 
we  have  a  large  number  of  youngsters  that  have  never  been 
developed,  the  owner  never  having  uolertaken  to 
develop  colts  to  any  extent,  but  tbe  material  on  this  place 
must  be  equal  to,  if  not  above,  any  other,  as  the  following 
were  sold  as  ^youngsters:  Diablo,  2:09},  and  Free  Coin- 
age, 2:11  J,  the  champion  four  and  three-year-olds   of  1893. 

We  are  also  shaping  up  tbe  colls  to  be  sold  in  San  Fran- 
cisco on  February  Sth,  twenty-one  in  number,  which  were 
selected  for  sale  before  I  arrived  here,  and  my  honest  opinion 
is  that  some  of  the  verv  best  are  in  this  sale. 

Capt.  Hackelt,  a  full  brother  to  Argenta,one  of  the  best  de- 
veloped two-year-olds  on  the  farm,  can  show  more 
speed  than  any  two-year-old  living,  very  level-headed  and  the 
making  of  a  race  horse.  Uncle  Seth  is  a  remarkable  two- 
year-old  trotter.  Our  Jack  is  a  very  speedy,  good-gaited  colt 
3ud  well  engaged.  Uncle  Dan  is  a  very  promising  colt  and 
is  also  well  eogaged.  Alysse  Latban  is  a  nice  individual  and 
is  the  most  promising  racing  filly  in  California. 

I  regret  to  see  these,  as  well  as  some  others  in  the  catalogue 
sold,  but  as  they  were  advertised  for  sale  before  I  arrived  at 
the  farm,  Mr.  Boyd  does  not  wish  to  withdraw  them. 

Sincerely  yours,  M.  F.  Sanders.

goers  ever  published  on  this  coast  has  been  issued  by  F.  C. 
Bridge  ii  Co.,  of  313  Bush  btreet.  It  contains  form  cards  of 
every  race  that  was  run  at  the  Blood  Horse  meeting  in  1893, 
and  also  those  races  which  took  place  during  tbe  first  two 
weeks  of  1S94,  under  the  auspices  of  the  California  Jockey

Only  one  pair  of  Dr.  Blaisdell's  chuckor  partridges  remain 
alive. 


The  Gun  Club  will  hold  their  first  shoot  of  the  season  on 
February  22d.  

Mr.  Wni.  Waddell  reporU  a  light  bag  of  duck  from  Byron 
on  Sunday  last. 


Mr-  Henry  Weiss  made  a  good  bag  of  duck6  at  Point  Reyes 
on  Sunday  last.  

John  L.  Brewer  is  anxious  to   trv  conclusions  again  with 
J.  A.  R.Elliott. 

Capt.   J.    Ashby  recently  shot   106   brace  of  snipe   near 
Viramgauro,  India.  

Mr.  Al.  Cummings  bagged  eight  dncks  and  several  geese 
at  Byrons  on  the  28th.      

The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  hold  their  opening  shoot   of 
the  season  on  March  ISth. 


The  ducks  have  completely  deserted  the  Alameda  marshes, 
Only  a  few  whistlers  are  left. 

It  is  expected  that  a  series  of  matches  will  shortly  be  ar- 
ranged between  E.  D.  Fulford  and  J.  A.  R.  Elliott. 

The  Oregon  Slate  Sportsman's  Association  will  hold  their 
annual  tournament  in  June  at  Portland.  It  will  be  open  to 
members  only. 

Trumpeter  swan  are  said  to  be  very  scarce  this  year  in 
Oregon.  It  is  thought  that  this  variety  is  becoming  extinct 
in  that  section.  

One  bear,  five  deer,  three  dozen  wild  pigeons,  a  few  grouse 
and  GOO  trout  were  killed  by  a  party  of  four  at  a  recent  two 
weeks'  outing  in  Oregon. 

Mr.  Stauffwas  at  Birdell's,  Sonoma  county,  on  Saturday 
last.  The  birds  have  not  all  left  that  section,  as  he  succeeded 
in  bagging  sixteen  good  duck. 

Ernestine — He  proposed  to  me  last  Dight. 

Celesline — That's  nothing.  My  brother  told  me  that  this 
was  his  first  season  at  shooting  and  he  was  popping  away  at 
everything. 

The  Judge,  unless  you  are  in  luck, 

Thioks  your  excuse  a  lame  one  ; 
If.  when  you  go  out  shootiDg  duck, 

You  fire  at  a  tame  one. 


Messrs.  A.  G.  Fleck  and  W.  F.  Depue  enjoyed  a  day's 
quail  shooting  in  the  vicinity  of  San  Ramon,  Contra  Costa 
county  on  Saturday  last.  They  succeeded  in  bringing  to  bag 
twenty-seven  birds. 

San  Diego's  exhibit  in  the  Southern  California  building  at 
the  Midwinter  Fair  contains  a  very  fair  display  of  California 
game  birds  and  fish.  The  game  birds  are  well  mounted  but 
the  collection  of  the  duck  family  is  very  incomplete. 

The  Ohio  Fish  and  Game  Commission  reports  that  they 
were  not  remarkably  successful  in  the  experiment  of  intro- 
ducing the  English  and  Mongolian  pheasants  into  that  State, 
the  egg6and  old  birds  arriving  too  late  in  the  season. 

Messrs.  Clabroueb,  Golcher  &  Co.  have  just  received  a 
supply  of  Walsrode  loaded  shells  for  trap  use.  These  shells 
are  the  best  quality  made  by  the  Walsrode  company.  The 
Golcher  Bros,  have  shot  a  number  of  them,  and  pronounce 
the  pattern  and  penetration  excellent.  Any  sportsmen  desir- 
ing to  try  this  new  nitro  should  avail  themselves  of  this  op- 
portunity.   

Mr.  Thomas  Tnnstead,  a  well-known  lover  of  the  rod, gun 
and  dog,  died  last  week  at  (he  German  hospital  from  the  re- 
sult of  a  fall.  Mr.  Tunstead  was  formerly  a  very  efficient 
Deputy  Fish  Commissioner.  In  1881  he  was  the  Superinten- 
dent of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  bench  show.  He  was  an  ar- 
dent lover  of  coursing  and  deer  hunting  and  had  owned  many 
good  greyhounds  and  foxhounds. 

Messrs.  E.  T.  Allen  &  Co.  have  just  received  a  new  lot  of 
blue-rocks  and  Peoria  blackbirds.  Also  some  very  fine  sport- 
ing and  athletic  shoes.  Their  new  patent  boxing  glove, 
which  we  described  recently,  is  becoming  very  popular.  Mc- 
Auliffe  used  a  pair  at  his  recent  mill  with  Ryan.  The  prin- 
ciple is  entirely  new,  and  is  a  great  protection  to  the  hands. 
You  are  cordially  invited  to  call  and  examine  their  stock. 

Mongolian  pheasants  promise  to  be  in  demand  for  years  to 
corneas  game  birds  for  stocking  public  and  private  shooting 
grounds.  For  that  reason  the  breeding  of  a  supply  to  meet 
the  demand  might  prove  a  profitable  enterprise  for  some  one 
having  the  facilities.  Some  of  the  young  men  who  write  to 
us  now  and  then  asking  for  profitable  trapping  territory, 
might  better  turn  their  attention  to  raising  pheasants  for  gun 
clubs.  The  birds  are  prolific  and  easily  reared. — Forest  and 
Stream. 

Twelve  pans  of  Chinese  pheasants  arrived  in  Ashland  the 
first  day  of  the  week,  consigned  to  a  Pullman  conductor  of 
the 8.  P.  R.  R.  and  destined,  it  is  understood,  for  shipment  to 
Oakland  or  San  Francisco.  As  the  law  of  Oregon  prohibits 
iIm-  -hipment  of  these  pheasants  out  of  the  Slate, dead  or 
nlive,neithertheexpre*sor  railroad  company  will  accept  them 
for  shipment,  and  unless  they  shall  be  smuggled  across  the 
line  they  will  have  to  be  shipped  back  to  the  consignor  or  dis- 
posed of  here.  They  came  by  express  from  Tangent. — Ash-

1 1  is  reported  that  a  novel  pigeon  match  is  about  to  be  ar- 
ranged between  Miss  Annie  Oakley,  of  Nuihy,  N.  J.,  and  a 
crack  amateur  Bhot  of  New  York,  the  match  to  take  place  at 
one  of  the  shooting  grounds  near  New  York  City  sometime 
during  February.  The  conditions  ara  to  shoot  at  50  live 
pigeons  each,  21  yards  rise,  24  yards  boundary,  from  five  un- 
known traps.     Mi-    Oakley  is  to  beconfi.ied  to  a  double-bar- 

led  rille,  loadti!  win  a  .32  caliber  bullet,  use  of  both  barrels. 
1  ler  opponent  is  to  L-e  restricted  to  the  use  of  a  horse  pistol 
with  one-half  ounce  of  shot,  use  of  both  barrels.  Phil 
1'aly  will  back  Miss  Oakley. 


Messrs.  Cate,  Foster  and  several  others  of  the  Lincoln  Gun 
Club  were  at  Reclamation  and  neighboring  marshes  on  Sun- 
day la6t.  The  average  bag  was  two  each.  They  all  reoort 
"  ducks  very  scarce,  shooting  all  over  for  this  season." 


Many  of  our  local  sportsmen  took  advantage  of  the  legal 
holiday  on  Saturday  last  and  in  place  of  attending  the  Fair, 
enjoyed  the  beautiful  day  upon  the  marsh  or  in  the  field  in 
search  of  game.  W.  H.  Seaver,  the  San  Francisco  agent  for 
the  Remiogton  cycles,  was  among  the  number.  He  left  town 
on  Friday  evening's  train  for  San  Pablo,  to  enjoy  his  last  duck 
shoot  for  the  season,  and  at  daylight  Saturday  morning  he 
could  have  been  seen  with  his  dog  stationed  behind  a  "blind" 
on  Tule  island  with  his  decoys  bobbing  around  in  the  waters 
of  San  Pablo  bay.  The  dncks  did  not  fly  at  all  well,  and  he 
succeeded  in  bagging  but  ten  birds,  five" caDS,"  three  teal 
and  two  spoonbills.  Will  says  that  the  late  rains  and  contin- 
ued warm  weather  has  driven  most  all  of  the  small  ducks 
from  the  marsh,  and  only  a  few  "  cans  "  remain  to  be  shot  at. 
He  thinks  the  duck-shooting  season  is  about  oyer. 

As  Mr.  Hesse's  reply  to  Mr.  von  Lengerke  in  current  For- 
est and  Stream  contains  some  interessing  information  regard- 
ing the  new  Walsrode  powder,  we  quote  it  in  full: 

Red  Bank,  N.  J.,  Jan.  20. — Mr.  von  Lengerke  says :  "So 
little  of  Walsrode  is  safe  to  use,  that  if  a  loader  should  put  in 
a  shell  a  double  load,  which  is  easily  possible  and  without  de- 
tection, a  broken  gun  would  be  the  result."  He  further  states 
that  the  agents  dare  not  sell  the  powder  in  bulk,  that  it  can  be 
used  in  specials  only. 

As  to  his  statement  that  we  do  not  dare  to  sell  it  in  bulk,  the 
hundreds  of  American  sportsmen  who  have  applied  for  it  and 
are  loading  it  with  best  results  know  better.  The  American 
sportsman  is  not  so  dumb  as  Mr.  von  Lengerke  would  like  to 
make  him,  he  desires  straightforward  and  fullest  information 
regarding  a  new  explosive,  not  misleadiag  ones.  We  have,  it 
is  true,  refused  to  put  a  new  invention  out  at  random  until  we 
could  make  sportsmen  familiar  with  it.  Our  instructions, 
devised  by  experts,  cover  every  point,  and  no  sportsman  de- 
siring to  load  his  own  cartridges  is  left  in  the  dark  about 
Walsrode  powder,  he  cannot  possibly  go  wrong  unless  he 
wilfully  disobeys  our  instructions  and  overloads;  and  even 
here  Walsrode  gives  him  fair  warning  to  desist,  and  thus  we 
are  able  to-day  to  show  a  cleaner  record  than  any  other  ex- 
plosive on  the  market. 

A  double  load  cannot  be  detected,  says  Mr.  von  Lengerke. 
1  will  throw  out  a  double  load  of  Walsrode  put  in  by  Mr. 
von  Lengerke  himself  and  mixed  in  one  hundred  standard 
loads  in  five  seconds  by  the  watch,  and  so  can  any  other 
sportsman.  A  double  load  of  Walsrode,  either  in  specials  or 
ordinary  American  shells,  and  loaded  as  per  instructions,  can 

simply  not  be  shotted.

Some  Wrinklers  for  Shooters. 


It  is  generally  believed  that  a  certain  quantity  of  gun 
powder  will  burn  within  the  barrel  of  a  gun,  and  any  used 
over  that  amount  is  unburned  and  worse  than  useless.  My 
experience  does  not  point  to  this.  In  my  early  shooting 
days  I  have  frequently  been  convinced  that  extra  powder, 
with  reduced  weight  of  shot,  will  often  kill  at  very  long  dis- 
tances. For  instance,  I  was  once  snipe  shooting  with  a  14- 
bore  double  mnzzle-loader,  of  about  6  lb.  weight,  and  had 
nothing  larger  than  No.  10  shot  with  me.  A  golden  plover 
came  over  me  about  from  fifty  to  sixty  yards  off.  I  fired 
about  eighteen  inches  in  front  of  him,  thinking,  perhaps,  I 
might  break  a  wing,  but  he  passed  on,  and  settled  in  a  ploughed 
field,  sitting  upright,  looking  at  me.  I  re-charged  with  a 
double  charge  of  powder  and  about,  half  an  ounce  of  No.  10 
shot ;  walked  up  to  the  bird  within  eighty  yards,  and  fired 
high  at  him  as  he  sat.  He  rolled  over  dead,  as  if  shot  with- 
in thirty  yards.  Again,  I  was  skating  on  an  immense  piece 
of  ice,  with  my  gun,  when  a  very  large  seagull  kept  flying  up 
in  front  of  me,  and  finally  alighting  a  long  distance  off.  Re- 
sorting to  the  golden  plover  dodge,  I  skated  up  to  within 
about  100  yards  of  him,  stooped  low,  and  fired  down  on  the 
ice  about  thirty  yards  nearer  to  me  than  the  bird  was,  think- 
ing that  the  shot  would  strike  the  ice,  then  skid  along  like  a 
stone  thrown  on  the  ice.  This  calculation  proved  correct, 
for  he  rolled  over  as  dead  as  thego'den  plover  did. 

On  another  occasion  I  was  snipe  shooting,  when  about  fifty 
wild  duckB  got  up  out  of  a  swamp.  I  drew  my  charges  of  No. 
10  6hot,  added  more*powder,  put  a  light  charge  of  No.  6  shot 
(about  half  an  ounce),  ran  to  the  spot  where  the  ducks  had 
sprung  from,  and  laid  flat  down  near  the  water's  edge.  The 
ducks  took  a  large  circle,  and  came  back  and  had  a  look  at 
me,  but  they  did  not  come  near  enough  to  shoot  at;  but  the 
third  time  they  came  a  little  nearer,  and,  believing  this  would 
be  the  last  time  before  making  right  away,  they  were,  as  near 
as  I  can  guess,  from  ninety  to  one  hundred  yards — I  held  the 
gun  tight  to  my  shoulder  to  give  the  shot  more  force,  and 
fired.  To  my  delight  as  a  young  and  enthusiasticsportsman, 
two  dropped — a  duck  and  a  very  handsome  drake.  The  duck 
was  stone  dead,  and  the  drake  winged.  Now,  could  any  of 
these  birds  have  been  bagged  with  an  ordinary  charge.  I  think 
not. 

Did  not  Captain  Bogardus  teach  us  a  lesson  when  he  came 
over  from  America  challenging  anyone  breathing  in  a  match 
at  pigeons  at  the  traps?  Did  he  not  also  use  about  five  drams 
of  powder  out  of  a  12-bore  gun  ?  Certainly  his  gun  weighed 
about  eight  pounds  or  more,  or  he  could  not  have  stood  the 
recoil.  Seeing  such  long  cartridges,  his  opponents  had  every 
one  opened,  to  see  that  no  more  than  the  agreed  quantity  of 
shot  was  used,  and  not  one  contained  even  so  much  as  the 
agreed  quantity.  For  his  first  barrel  he  used  Number  8 shot.

A  False  Report. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — Noticing  in  the 
sporting  department  of  the  Call  of  Sunday  last  an  item  ex- 
pressing my  thanks  for  the  present  of  a  deer  from  Messrs. 
Thos.  Irvine,  Rob.  Taylor  and  M.  J.  Geary,  this  is  to  inform 
you  and  the  gentlemen  named  that  no  such  present  was 
received  by  me,  and  further,  that  recognizing  as  I  do.  and 
always  have  done,  the  laws  of  our  State,  regulating  the  close 
season  for  the  shooting  of  game,  I  could  not  be  guilty  of  even 
winking  at  so  unsportsmanlike  an  act  as  the  killing  of  deer 
out  of  season.  Such  a  feat  could  only  be  committed  by 
nothiug  above  the  lowest  grade  of  pot-hunters.  Very  respect- 
fully John  H.  Sammi. 


Oarlin  Hunting  Party. 


The  Carlin  hunting  party,  of  which  I  was  a  member,  has 
been  grossly  misrepresented  and  unjustly  censured  on  account 
of  their  actions  towards  George  Colgate,  a  member  of  the 
party. 

In  the  absence  of  authoritative  accounts  of  the  trip,  the 
press  and  the  public  have  preferred  to  accept  the  sensational 
story  of  Ben.  Keeley,  the  trapper,  as  true.  Waiving  the  fact 
that  correct  information  was  wanting  regarding  the  region 
through  which  the  party  was  struggling,  without  any  knowl- 
edge of  the  danger  which  menaced  them,  and  without  the 
remotest  idea  of  the  circumstances  that  led  them  to  adopt 
the  course  they  did,  the  party  is  judged  and  condemned, 
forthwith,  and  accused  of  the  most  selfish,  and  mercenary 
motives. 

So  effective  did  the  story  of  Ben.  Keeley  prove  that  in 
several  western  towns  public  feeling  was  aroused  in  indigna- 
tion to  fever  heat  and  found  expression  in  the  adoption  of 
resolutions  condemning  and  denouncing  Mr.  Carlin  and 
myself  in  the  most  scathing  terms. 

Nor  is  this  all.  With  the  most  consummate  bigotry  and 
injustice,  the  kind  and  efficient  Lieutenant  Charles  P.  Elliot, 
who  generously  volunteered  his  services  to  come  to  our 
relief,  is  drawn  into  the  net  of  popular  criticism,  where  he 
is  basely  ridiculed  and  roundly  denounced  for  not  continuing 
the  search  for  Colgate  after  meeting  the  rest  of  the  party. 
Wbether  such  a  search  was  possible,  or  advisable  under  the 
circumstances,  was  not  at  all  considered. 

The  story  of  Ben.  Keeley  has  since  been  proved  to  be 
false  and  malicious*by  the  testimony  of  all  the  rest  of  the 
party;  but  the  damage  it  has  done  and  the  injustice  it  has 
wrought,  can  never  be  wholly  eradicated. 

It  would  be  useless  to  attempt  to  go  into  details  within  the 
scope  of  a  communication  such  as  this  is  intended  to  be; 
and  an  endeavor  to  describe  the  situation,  with  all  the  attend- 
ing circumstances,  would  in  all  probabilities,  prove  futile. 
Persons  who  have  never  been  in  the  wildest  regions  of  the 
far  northwest  or  similar  places  in  South  America  or  else- 
where, can  form  no  idea  of  the  vast  and  almost  impenetrable 
"Sea  of  Mountains"  that  actually  exist;  nor  can  anyone  who 
has  never  undertaken  a  "  hard  trip"  into  such  mountainous 
districts  comprehend  the  many  real  difficulties  and  hard- 
ships that  are  invariably  encountered.  For  these  reasons  it 
is  a  difficult  matter  for  the  uninitiated  to  imagine  any  cir- 
cumstances whatever  which  would  justify  the  actions  of  a 
party  in  leaving  one  of  their  number  behind.  There  are, 
besides,  certain  facts  relative  to  George  Colgate,  which  from 
a  sense  of  propriety,  and  a  due  regard  for  the  feelings  of  his 
family,  cannot  be  made  public. 

Contrary  to  popular  impression,  Mr.  Carlin  and  myself  are 
accustomed'to  the  hardships  and  fatigue  incident  to  such  a 
trip  as  ours  would  have  been  .under  ordinary  circumstances. 
Most  of  Mr.  Carlin's  life  since  1871  has  been  spent  on  the 
frontier  and  in  the  northwest.  He  has  been  a  member  of 
numberless  hunting  parties  and  has  accompanied  government 
exploring  expeditions  which  penetrated  into  the  Lake  Chee- 
lan  and  Okanagan  districts  of  northern  Washington,  which 
are  known  to  be  among  the  roughest  aud  most  inaccessible 
regions  of  the  civilized  world.  Our  guide,  Mr.  Spencer, 
prectically  lives  in  the  mountains,  as  he  has  acted  in  the 
capacity  of  guide  for  many  years.  As  to  myself,  in  the  prac- 
tice of  my  profession  as  a  civil  engineer,  in  the  employ  of 
the  Northern  Pacific  railroad,  I  have,  on  one  occasion,  spent 
a  whole  winter  in  the  Cceur  D'Alene  mountains  of  northern 
Idaho,  with  a  party  of  twenty-two  men,  forty  miles  from  the 
nearest  railroad  station,  and  sixteen  miles  from  the  nearest 
ranch.  We  lived  in  tents  and  brought  in  our  supplies  by 
pack  train.  The  snow  varied  from  two  to  four  feet  deep,  oc- 
casionally stopping  our  pack  train  for  considerable  periods, 
but  never  interfering  with  the  progress  of  our  work,  except 
for  one  day. 

Taking  these  facts  into  consideration  we  were  eminently 
well  fitted  by  training  and  experience  to  undertake  just  such 
a  trip  as  we  proposed.  We  are  also,  we  trust,  justified  in 
claiming  that  we  have  a  fair  idea  of  what  it  is  possible  for  a 
man  or  a  party  of  men  to  do  under  circumstanees  and  con- 
ditions which  might  ordinarily  be  developed  during  a  hunt- 
ing trip  of  that  kind.  Consequently  our  opinions  on  the  sub- 
ject should  be,  at  least,  accredited  worthy  of  consideration. 
Based  upon  our  knowledge  of  the  existing  circumstances  and 
conditions  at  the  time,  I  make  the  following  assertions : — 

1.  That  George  Colgate's  illness  was  due  to  his  leaving  be- 
hind, in  the  first  instance,  certain  instruments  which  for  ten 
years  has  been  indispensable  to  him. 

2.  That  he  persistently  journed  day  after  day  on  horseback 
into  the  woods,  for  eight  days  without  acquainting  any  of  us 
of  the  fact  that  he  had  left  his  appliances  behind,  when  he 
must  have  been  cognizant  of  that  fact  during  the  first  day 
out  from  Kendrick. 

3.  That  on  the  eighth  day  he  became  exhausted  when 
within  a  short  distance  of  our  camping  place,  and  only  when 
importuned  by  Mr.  Carlin,  did  he  divulge  the  truth,  inform- 
ing Mr.  Carlin  then  for  the  first  time  that  he  had  been  usipg 
such  instruments  for  years. 

4.  That  in  his  then  weak  condition  he  could  not  have 
stood  the  fatigue  of  a  return  trip. 

5.  That  it  rained  incessantly  for  thirteen  consecutive  days 
after  we  made  camp.  This  was  snow  on  the  mountains 
where  the  trail  was  located,  and  it  was  not  considered  ad- 
visable to  send  him  back  with  the  guide  during  that  time. 

6.  That  on  the  fourteenth  day  we  curtailed  our  hunt  and 
made  an  honest  attempt  to  return  by  trail. 

7.  That  when  but  two-thirds  of  the  way  up  to  where 
the  main  trail  was  we  encountered  two  and  a  half  feet  of 
soft  snow,  which  indicated,  accordingto  our  guide's  knowledge 
four  feet  of  show  or  more  on  the  main  or  Lo  Lo  trail. 

8.  That  to  have  continued  homeward  on  that  route  under 
existing  conditions  would  in  all  probability  have  necessitated 
the  abandonment  of  our  horses  and  Colgate  in  the  snow,  as 
he  was  so  incapacitated  by  his  illness  that  he  was  unable  to 
walk,  and  practically  helpless. 

9.  That  because  we  thought  there  was  a  probability  of 
getting  Colgate  out  by  floating  him  down  the  Clearwater 
river  on  a  raft  we  decided  to  forego  all  other  considerations, 
return  to  our  campjon  the  river  buy  out  a  trapper  who  had  pro- 
vided himself  with  a  winter  supply  of  provisions,  and  engage 
him  to  assist  in  building  the  rafts  and  accompany  ub  gut  to 
civilization.

10.  That  notwithstanding  the  most  careful  nursing  and  at- 
tention to  his  requirements  Colgate  grew  steadily  worse  and 
worse. 

11.  That  examinations  of  the  trail  on  the  ISth  and  30th 
of  October  by  Spencer  showed  that  a  crust  had  formed  on  the 
deep  snow,  so  that  the  rest  of  the  party  during  that  interval 
could  have  gotten  out  of  the  woods  on  snowshoes  over  the 
trail — a  safe  and  known  route. 

12.  That  every  possible  alternative  and  resource  for  get- 
ting Colgate  out  safely  was  investigated,  but  no  other  course 
was  practicable  than  to  attempt  a  passage  down  the  river. 

13.  That  while  we  expected  to  make  the  passage  down  the 
river  in  about  five  days  or  a  week,  we  took  fifteen  days'  pro- 
visions with  us  as  a  safeguard,  and  supposing  we  did  not  re- 
quire more  we  gave  the  balance  of  the  provisions  which  we 
had  purchased  to  Jerry  Johnson,  a  prospector  (the  partner  of 
Ben  Keely,  who,  on  account  of  our  agreement  wtth  Keeley, 
was  compelled  to  live  alone  in  a  rude  cabin  all  winter). 

14.  That  unexpected  difficulties  and  hardships  were  en- 
countered, and,  at  the  end  of  eight  days,  when  a  point  twenty- 
five  miles  down  the  river  had  been  reached,  the  river  bed 
was  found  to  be  so  full  of  boulders  that  further  rafting  with 
the  object  of  transporting  Colgate  safely  was  an  impossibility. 

15.  That  when  Mr.  Carlin  informed  Colgate  that  we  would 
all  have  to  walk  down  the  river  in  order  to  get  back  to  civili- 
zation, he  received  the  information  with  apparent  unconcern, 
showing  that  he  was  incapable  of  realizing  the  situation. 

16.  That  Colgate's  condition  at  the  time  was  such  that  he 
was  incapable  of  appreciating  further  kindness  or  attention 
from  us,  and  that  it  was  absolutely  impossible  to  take  him 
with  ns  on  foot. 

17.  That  he  made  no  remarks  concerning  his  family  nor 
paid  any  attention  to  us  when  he  saw  us  make  ready  to  go 
away  on  foot,  and  made  no  motions  or  outcry  when  he  saw 
us  disappear  one  by  one  down  the  river  with  our  packs  on 
our  backs. 

18.  That  we  are  almost  certain  that  the  man  died  without 
pain,  and  without  a  full  return  to  consciousness  that  same 
night,  and  that  had  we  remained  with  him  and  cared  for  him 
he  would  not  have  appreciated  it,  and  might  have  lingered 
in  a  stupor  or  unconscious  condition  for  possibly  a  day  or 
two,  during  which  nearly  a  third  of  our  remaining  provisions 
would  have  been  consumed  and  the  chance  of  ultimately  sav- 
ing our  lives  greatly  lessened. 

19.  That  while  we  hoped  to  accomplish  an  average  of  four 
miles  a  day  on  foot,  we  tiad,  according  to  our  estimate,  forty- 
five  miles  to  travel  with  only  seven  days'  provisions,  along  a 
route  where  there  was  practically  no  game.  We  saw  we 
wonld  be  out  of  food  for  a  number  of  days  at  the  latter  part 
of  our  foot  journey  under  the  most  favorable  circumstances, 
and  we  knew  that  the  dreaded  Black  canon  was  before  us. 

20.  That  three  and  a  half  days  of  difficult  climbing  were 
spent  in  going  through  the  canon,  which  is  not  more  than 
eight  miles  in  length. 

21.  That  at  the  end  of  ten  days,  after  having  journeyed 
about  twenty-eight  miles  and  having  been  without  food  for 
two  days,  we  fortunately  met  Lieut  Elliott's  rescuing  party. 

22.  That  had  it  not  been  for  the  fortunate  meeting  with 
Lieut.  Elliott's  party  it  is  yet  a  mooted  question  whether  all 
or  any  of  the  party  would  have  survived. 

23.  That  snow  fell  the  day  after  we  met  Elliott,  and  ice 
floes  were  forming  in  the  river  at  that  time.  These,  coupled 
with  other  conditions,  would  have  made  a  trip  up  the  river 
and  through  the  canyon  in  search  of  Colgate  at  that  season 
of  the  year  extremely  hazardous,  if  at  all  possible,  and  in  any 
case  it  would  have  been  impossible  to  bring  out  Colgate's 
body.  In  view  of  the  dangerous  nature  of  such  a  trip,  and 
the  fact  that  the  burial  of  the  body,  if  found,  would  be  all  the 
expedition  could  accomplish,  Lieut.  Elliott  wisely  decided 
with  usXthat  the  result  would  not  warrant  the  jeopardizing 
of  the  lives  of  the  valuable  men  who  readily  volunteered  to 
go. 

24.  That  on  our  return  to  Spokane  me  met  the  widow  and 
eldest  son  of  George  Colgate,  and  Mr.  Carlin  spent  nearly 
four  hours  with  them  explaining  all  the  circumstances  relative 
to  Mr.  Colgate.  At  the  noon  hour  Gen.  Carlin  invited  them 
to  lunch  at  the  Hotel  Spokane,  which  invitation  they  ac- 
cept*. 1. 

25.  That  having  lost  our  entire  outfit  and  paid  out  con- 
siderable sums  of  money  to  Ben  Keeley  and  for  rewards  and 
the  expenses  of  large  relief  expeditions — all  of  which  ex- 
pense was  indirectly  caused  by  Colgate  himself — we  were,  in 
consequence,  reduced  in  funds  so  as  to  be  unable  to  assist  his 
family  financially  beyond  their  actual  necessities  at  that 
time. 

26.  That  we  all  strenuously  advised  against  sending  out 
searching  parties  at  that  season  of  the  year,  and  that  Mr. 
Carlin  volunteered  his  services  and  assistance  in  the  spring, 
when  parties  could  undertake  such  a  trip  with  safety  and  with 
a  reasonable  hope  of  success. 

27.  That  the  circumstances  under  which  a  letter  was  re- 
ported to  have  been  written  by  Colgate  and  sent  down  the 
river  in  a  bottle  are  such  as  to  preclude  the  possibility  of  its 
being  genuine. 

28.  That  we  note  with  regret  that  people  ignorant  of  the 
roughness  and  dangers  of  the  region  have  recklessly  gone  in 
search  of  Colgate's  body.  From  our  knowledge  of  the  situa- 
tion we  know  that  at  this  unfavorable  season  of  the  year  the 
success  of  such  expeditions  is  next  to  impossible,  and  we  sin- 
cerely hope  that  none  of  the  parties  will  come  to  grief. 

29.  In  conclusion  I  assert  that  we  did  our  whole  duty  to- 
ward George  Colgate  as  a  friend  and  companion;  that  for  him 
we  sacrificed  the  fears  and  anxieties  of  our  relatives  and 
friends,  our  outfit,  as  well  as  large  sums  of  money,  and  jeop- 
ardized our  own  lives  to  the  very  last  extremity  in  a  vain  en- 
deavor to  get  him  back  to  civilization,  and  that  we  left  him 
only  when  circumstances  made  it  a  folly  to  remain  longer 
with  him. 

30.  Finally,  I  assert  that  were  all  the  details  known  and 
the  many  trying  situations  of  the  party  thoroughly  under- 
stood, our  actions  during  tne  entire  trip  would  be  proved  to 
be  not  only  justifiable,  but  honorable  and  praiseworthy. — A.

Spitting  Snakes. 


In  view  of  the  controversy  that  has  been  going  on  so  long 
in  the  Eastern  papers  regarding  the  question  :  Do  snakes 
spit  ?  the  following  from  the  Post-Dispatch  will  prove  inter- 
esting : 

"The  African  explorer,  V.  Hoehnel,  on  bis  voyage  to 
Lakes  Rudolph  and  Stephanie  encountered  one  day,  after  a 
long  rainy  spell,  rolled  up  in  a  corner  of  the  basket  in  which 
the  dishes  of  the  expedition  were  carried,  a  serpent  of  narrow 
girth,  and  about  twenty-seven  inches  long. 


His  servant  armed  himself  with  a  long  dirk  to  kill  the  j 
serpent,  but  the  moment  he  approached  the  basket  he  fell 
back  with  a  heart-rending  cry  and  covered  bis  eyes  with  his 
band.  The  inake  had  projected  into  them  a  tiny  stream  of 
burning  liquid,  which  caused  terrible  suffering.  Hoehnel 
came  up  and  placed  himself  in  such  a  position  that  the  wind 
would  blow  the  liquid  past  his  eyes,  should  the  serpent  de- 
fend itself  in  the  same  manner  it  had  done  before.  As  soon 
as  the  snake  caught  sight  of  him  it  lifted  its  head  and  squirted 
two  drops  of  black  fluid  on  his  neck,  which,  however,  pro- 
duced no  burning  sensation  on  the  skin.  Finally  the  basket 
was  overturned  and  the  serpent  in  its  flight  was  killed  with 
sticks,  so  that  the  mystery  could  not  be  solved  as  to  the  nature 
of  its  peculiar  squirting  qualities. 

Seventeen  Thousand  Dozen. 


It  is  estimated  by  conservative   men  that  daring  the  last  ■ 
three  days  of  mild  weather  seventeen  thousand  dozen  quail 
have  been  spoilt  and  thrown  away,  in  the  State  of  Indiana 
alone.     We  do  not  believe  that  this  will  cover  the  number.  ; 
When  we  think  of  the  fact  that  every  little  country  store,  at 
cross  roads  and  in  hamlets  where  there  are  not  half-a-dozen 
houses,  handles  quail  and  rabbits,  it  will  be  seen  that  the  ' 
above  figure  is  not  large  enough.     These  litllestores  hold  the 
quail  till  they  get   "  enough  to  ship,"  and  when  they   know 
that  they  are  "  souring  "  and  will  not  be-  received  by  the  city 
merchants,  they  are  too  timid  (fearing  to  be  charged  with  the 
freight)  to  even  try  to  send  them.     When  the  Almighty,  in 
His  wisdom,  puts  in  some  law-makers  at  Indianapolis  whose 
brains  lie  in  their  heads  and  not  in  their  bellies,  we  will  have 
a  law  against  the  sale  of  quail,  just  as  they  have  in  Illinois.  !

DOING-S   TN  DOGDOM. 


The  Philadelphia  and  Keystone  Kennel  Clubs  have  amal- 
gated. 

The  Fanciers'  Journal   plant   was  purchased  on  January 
16ih  by  the  Poultry  Weekly.t 

A64-dog  stake  with  §1,000  guaranteed  is  the  talk  of  the 
St.  Louis  coursing  men  at  present. 


Mr.  John  Heffernan  writes  us  that  the  St.  Bernard  bitch 
Fernwood  Inez  is  looking  fine  as  silk. 

It  is  thought  that  Southern  California  will  be  well  repre- 
sented at  Merced  both  by  entries  and  attendance. 

Mr.  Howard  Vernon's  well  known  pointer  bitch  Sally 
Brass  II  has  lost  her  entire  litter  of  puppies  by  Buck  S. 

Wise  Croxteth  by  Ch.  Croxteth — Amine,  second  Amer- 
ican Field  Trials,  All  Age  1S92,  has  joined  the  great  ma- 
jority.   

It  is  said  that  there  is  a  Russian  Wolfhound  at  Santa 
Clara  and  that  he  can  course  a  hare  with  the  best  of  the 
greyhounds.  

The  trial  of  the  Stockton  dog  poisoner  has  not  come  off 
yet.  We  trust  that  when  it  does  the  scoundrel  will  receive 
hisjuat  deserts. 

Don't  forget  the  benefit  to  J.  R.  Dickson  at  Newark  on 
February  4.  A  good  entry  is  assured  and  the  park  is  in 
splendid  condition. 

Dr.  C.  A.  Longest,  the  Massichusetts  bloodhound  fancier, 
has  purchased  three  more  English  bloodhounds — Alcbymist, 
McComo  and  Kaween. 


A  new  dog  paper  appeared  in  England  on  December  30th , 
entitled  The  Coursing  Chronicle,  Sports  and  Pastimes.  Its 
birth  place  is  London. 

Our  Dublin  contemporary  denies  that  the  red  and  white 
Irish  setter  is  extinct.  Quite  a  class  of  them  were  gotten  to- 
gether at  a  recent  Irish  show. 

Mr.  W.  J.  Golcher,  of  the  popular  sporting  goods  house  of 
Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co  ,  will  kindly  accept  our  thanks  for 
three  fine  views  of  the  late  field  trials. 

Again  we  are  sending  coals  to  Newcastle.  The  New  York 
St.  Bernard  Kennels  have  sold  the  St.  Bernard  bitch  Surprise, 
by  Young  Plinlimmon — Falla,  to  Mr.  Thos.  Shillcock,  Birm- 
ingham, Eng.  

Mr.  C.  H.  Mason  has  got  his  foot  in  it  again.  At  the  last 
meeting  of  the  National  Greyhound  Club  his  name  was 
dropped  from  the  roll  for  cause.  His  name  was  also  removed 
from  the  list  of  judges.     

A  combined  specialty  show  is  talked  of  for  April  next  at 
Madison  Square  Garden,  New  York  City.  The  breeds  to  be 
exhibited  are  collies,  spaniels  and  St.  Bernards.  Mr.  Jas. 
Mortimer  will  superintend. 

The  judges  at  the  Columbus  Fanciers  Club  show  at  Colum- 
bus, Ohio,  will  be  Major  J.  M.  Taylor,  for  setters  and  point- 
ers ;  E.  Bordoe  Elliott,  Great  Danes;  A.  E.  Pitts,  mastiffs 
and  pugs,  and  George  Bell  all  other  classes. 


The  Pastime  Kennels  are  pretty  well  distributed.  The 
bitches  are  scattered  about  among  the  different  fancier?.  Mr. 
Miller  has  retained  only  Woodland  Duke,  who  continues  to 
improve  in  appearance  and  is  proving  a  very  successful  stud 
dog. 

Don't  forget  the  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  on 
Wednesday  evening  next.  Mr.  J.  B.  Martin  has  resigned  as 
a  member  of  the  Bench  Show  committee,  on  account  of  con- 
tinued ill  health,  and  another  member  must  be  elected  in 
his  place. 

The  traducersof  the  pug  dog  should  attend  Col.  Boones 
wild  animal  arena  at  the  Midwinter  Fair.  The  most  intel- 
ligent, best  trained  dog  of  the  lot  is  a  very  fair  specimen  of 
the  pug._  By  the  way  visitors  to  the  fair  that  do  not  see  this 
show  in  its  entirety,  miss  one  half  of  the  fair. 

Dr.  W.  E.  Wadams,  the  Santa  Clara  veterinarian  was 
recently  presented  with  a  very  promising  foxterrier  dog 
puppy  by  Champion  Blemton  Volunteer  out  of  Rowland's 
Kismet  (Blemton  Vesuvian— Monte  II).  Monte  II  by 
Resolute  out  of  Nettle.  The  doctor  experts  to  make  it 
interesting  for  the  foxterrier  men,  in  the  puppy  class  at  the 
coming  show.     Dr.  Rowland  of  Pasadena  was  the  donor. 

_  The  British  Columbia  Poultry  Dog  and  Pet  Stock  Asso- 
ciation will  hold  their  sixth  annual  bench  show  at  Victoria, 
B.  C,  on  February  7,  8  and  9th.  The  entry  fee  is  fifty  cents 
for  each  dog.  Diplomas  will  be  given  in  all  classes.  The 
secretary  is  F.  W.  Teague,  Victoria,  and  the  entries  close 
February  5,  1894.  Thirty-seven  classes  are  provided  for  and 
as  twelve  of  these  are  for  spaniels,  we  should  judge  that  that 
breed  is  very  popular  in  that  locality.  Cockers  are  divided 
into  five  classes,  black,  red,  liver,  black  and  while  and  liver 
and  white. 


The  new  year  has  launched  a  brand-new  brand  of  sport  in 
this  country.  Despite  the  fact  that  the  McKinley  Bill  is 
still  unrepealed,  two  genuine  Irish  stags  have  been  imported 
by  the  Chevy  Chase  Club,  of  Washington,  D.  C.  As  the  pur- 
suit of  the  Irish  stag  is  practised  in  England,  these  animals 
are  practically  indestructible.  They  are  trained  by  gradually 
increasing  stages  to  return  to  their  shelter,  which  good  feed- 
inghas  made  attractive — on  the  principal  of  the  homing 
pigeon.  On  a  five  mile  dash,  with  a  fair  start  and  no  barb 
wire  in  the  way,  there  is  not  a  dog  in  the  pack  that  can  touch 
a  "rale  Oirish  stag."  A  pack  of  Irish  stag-hounds,  eighteen 
couples,  used  to  this  game  and  warranted  not  to  hurt  hair  nor 
hide  of  the  stag,  has  also  been  imported.  Some  of  the  En- 
glish clubs  have  hunted  one  of  their  wary  old  stags  as  many 
as  100  times — the  work  proving  just  enough  to  keep  him  in 
good  digestion.  After  the  outfit  gets  in  training  the  club 
anticipates  rare  sport. — Sports  Afield. 


A  reporter  is  supposed  to  report  a  field  trial  as  it  occurs 
and  as  such  we  reported  the  number  of  points  that  Tommy 
Tickler  and  Countess  Noble  were  given  by  Judge  Post  at  the 
recent  trials.  To  the  novice  this  may  give  an  erroneous  im- 
pression that  we  positively  are  not  accountable  for.  The  scores 
kept  by  the  judges  are  for  comparison  only.  In  the  language 
of  the  rules  that  govern  the  Pacific  Coast  Field  Trials:  "The 
scale  of  points  laid  down  in  Rule  18  are  for  the  purpose  of 
determining  the  difference  between  two  dogs  under  the  same 
condition,  but  the  score  made  shall  in  no  way  constitue  a  rec- 
ord, nor  shall  the  dogs  in  a  trial  be  compared  by  the  scores 
they  have  made."  We  recognize  merit  in  a  dog  independent 
of  ownership  and  had  no  desire  to  belittle  either  of  the  dugs 
in  question.  When  scored  to  the  scale  of  points,  as  poultry 
are,  these  two  dogs  would  have  scored  much  nearer  90  than 
76. 


At  the  banquet  given  at  the  Saratoga  Bench  show,  H.  W. 
Lacy,  kennel  editor  of  the  Forest  and  Stream,  responded  to  a 
call  for  "  The  Dog  Press,"  as  follows  :  "  I  thank  you  for  the 
sentiment  of  your  toast.  The  lines  of  a  dog  show  reporter 
are  not  of  ihe  pleasantest.  He  is  compelled  to  listen  to  the 
kicker  and  agree  with  the  man  that  knows  it  all.  If  be  does 
not  write  in  a  rosy  vein  of  every  man's  dog  he  gets  it  sooner 
or  later,  generally  sooner,  where  our  brethern  of  the  edible 
fancy  understand,  where  tbe  chicken  got  the  ax.  The  pro- 
fessional show  reporter  is  not  cut  bias ;  he  cannot  be  ;  it 
would  be  suicidal ;  speaking  for  myself,  I  would  say  that  tbe 
dog  men  are  my  friends,  but  if  I  saw  that  a  dog  is  too  broad 
in  skull  I  am  going  to  say  so,  or  to  draw  a  finer  point,  if  he  is 
snipy  the  public  will  hear  of  it.  Gentlemen,  there  is  little 
more  to  be  said  for  the  dog  press,  it  speaks  for  itself,  but  I 
will  add  that  tbe  dog  men  have  no  firmer  friends  than  my 
confreres  on  the  press." 

Jack  Armstrong,  brother  of  Robert  K.  Armstrong,  kennel 
manager  of  Mr.  J.  Pierpont  Morgan's  Cragstons  Kennels  at 
Highland  Falls,  N.  Y.,  arrived  from  England  on  January 
8th.  We  were  pleased  to  meet  him  at  tbe  Saratoga  bench 
show,  where  he  seemed  to  take  much  interest  in  the  judging. 
He  is  the  son  of  Edward  Armstrong,  Danby  Lodge,  York- 
shire, the  breeder  of  the  following  dogs  of  national  repute  : 
Old  Kate,  Dash  II,  Dash  III,  Champion  Sting,  Champion 
King  Ned  and  many  others.  It  was  Edward  Armstrong  that 
trained  and  ran  Sir  Richard  Garth's  Old  Drake,Lord  Dowries, 
Jill,  Bang,  Jane,  Mite  and  oiler  good  ones.  Voung  Arm- 
strong has  for  the  past  two  years  prepared  some  of  Mr.  Hey- 
wood -Lonsdale's  dogs  for  field  trials.  He  regrets  not  bring- 
out  out  some  dogs  with  him  and  speaks  of  getting  a  brace  in 
time  for  the  Boston  show.  His  manner  will  command  re- 
spect and  make  friends  for  him,  as  evidenced  at  the  Saratoga 
show.  He  carries  a  watch,  presented  to  him  before  leaving 
home,  which  bears  the  following  inscription  :  "Presented  to 
John  Armstrong  by  the  Clergy.  Gentry  aod  Tradesmen  of 
Danby,  Yorbshire,as  a  Mark  of  Esteem  on  His  Leaving  Eng- 
land for  America,  Dec'r  28.  '93."  Attached  to  the  chain  is  a 
handsome  medal  won  by  him  by  killing  39  out  of  40  live  birds 
at  the  trap.  Mr.  Armstroog  is  favorably  impressed  with  this 
country  and  no  doubt  as  a  kennel  manager  could  be  induced 
to  stay  with  us. — American  Field.

"Wanted— A  Trainer. 


Consideriog  the  fact  that  we  have  quite  a  number  of  so- 
called  trainers  od  the  coast,  the  above  title  may  seem  pecu- 
liar, but  to  those  who  own  field  trial  dogs  it  is,  in  slang 
phrase,  "  a  chestnut." 

We  have  often  made  the  statement  in  private,  that  we  have 
never  seen  a  first-class  public  trainer  in  California,  and  now 
we  make  the  statement  in  public. 

As  evidence  of  this  we  ask  our  readers  to  compare  Lady 
Trippo,  Sally  Brass  If,  Countess  Noble,  Pelham,  Smoky,  Rex 
and  Brown  Betty  with  the  dogs  run  in  these  same  trials  that 
were  broken  by  the  regular  trainers.  The  dogs  that  we  have 
named  received  their  education  at  the  hands  of  private  indi- 
viduals or  Eastern  trainers,  and  they  are  as  far  ahead  of  their 
competitors,  as  far  as  training  is  concerned,  as  tbe  sun  out- 
shines the  moon. 

Whether  this  is  through  the  idleness  or  ignorance  of  the 
trainers  we  will  not  undertake  to  say.  We  are  dealing  simply 
with  facts  that  have  been  demonstrated  at  the  trials  of  the 
last  three  years. 

We  dislike  to  be  personal,  not  wishing  to  injure  the  busi- 
ness of  any  man  that  is  acting  ''on  the  square,"  but  to  avoid 
injuring  the  innocent  it  is  necessary  to  mention  names.  As 
Ailender  is  out  ot  the  business  entirely  our  remarks  do  not 
concern  him. 

We  believe  that  De  Motte  is  conscientious  in  his  work,  and 
he  cannot  be  expected  to  win  with  dogs  not  capable  of  win- 
ning. As  he  has  no  intention  of  training  another  year,  this 
does  not  concern  him  especially,  but  we  are  most  decidedly  of 
the  opinion  that  had  Tommy  Tickler  been  more  thorjugbly 
under  control  he  would  have  made  a  much  better  showing  at 
the  late  trials. 

Dodge  has  trained  for  the  California  Kennels  only  and  is 
not  included  in  our  category  of  public  traioers.  His  marvel- 
ous handling  of  the  deaf  Pelham  shows  us  the  possibilities  of 
bis  work  should  he  be  given  the  proper  material  to  work  upon 
and  the  time  in  which  to  attend  to  it. 

.studarus  has  not  brought  out  anything  remarkable,  but  it 
should  not  be  said  that  he  cannot  train,  as  we  understand  that 
his  dogs  have  mostly  been  placed  in  his  hands,  but  a  few 
weeks  before  the  trials,  and  he  has  not  had  a  fair  chance  to 
show  what  he  can  do. 

Walters  must  take  the  palm  as  a  public  trainer,  his  record 
cannot  be  denied.  He  has  won  four  Derbies  in  succession,  a 
fact  never  before  accomplisded,  but  at  the  same  time  a  bitch 
like  Betsy  Mark  that  has  had  two  seasons'  work  and  has  been 
in  the  trainers  hands  nearly  one  year  should  not  "  break  in': 
at  every  favorable  opportunity.  Such  a  dog  cannot  be  called 
a  broken  dog- 
Some  of  oar  readers  will  say  that  a  trainer  cannot  be  ex- 
pected to  train  ten  or  a  dozen  dogs  and  have  each  one  as 
good  as  the  solitary  dog  owned  and  trained  by  some  other 
man.  To  such  we  would  say,  What  are  these  trainers  paid 
for?  Are  they  not  supposed  to  be  experts  in  the  art  of  train- 
ing? The  fact  is  they  are  too  greedy.  In  place  of  accepting 
eight  dogs  and  turning  out  four  good  ones,  they  take  sixteen 
and  turn  out  one  good  one.  The  owners  are  dissatisfied 
and  (naturally)  the  business  is  proportionately  injured. 

Another  habit  of  our  California  trainers  is  to  keep  the 
owners  thinking  that  their  dogs  are  "clinkers,"  and  drawing 
their  money  regularly  for  training,  up  to  about  a  week  before 
the  trials,  when  they  write  the  owner,  ''  Don't  start  your  dog 
in  the  trials,  he  is  too  slow,"  or  "  Your  dog  has  no  nose,"  or 
some  other  excuse  of  like  nature.  As  if  they  were  not  fully 
aware  of  such  fact  months  hefure.  This  sort  of  business  is 
disgusting  our  dog  owners  and  working  a  positive  injury  to 
the  best  interests  of  the  dog. 

In  view  of  all  these  facts  we  have  given  this  article  the 
title  "  Wanted — A  Trainer,"  and  -can  assure  a  good,  capable, 
conscientious  trainer  an  abundance  of  dogs  at  good  prices  if 
he  will  come  to  California.  In  fact,  we  are  quite  suie  that  two 
could  make  a  good  living  here. 

The  Coming  Bench  Show. 

Now  that  i'  has  been  settled  that  we  cannot  hold  the  com- 
ingshowatthe  Mechanics  Pavilion,  the  question  again  arise?: 
Can  we  hold  a  show  at  the  Midwinter  Fair? 

We  can  see  but  one  way  to  insure  a  success  of  a  show  on 
the  Fair  grounds  and  that  is  for  the  show  to  be  given  by  the 
Fair  Commissioners  under  the  auspices  of  the  Pacific  Kennel 
Clnb.  The  club  are  not  sufficiently  wealthy  to  offer  the  prize 
money  Decessary  for  a  show  of  the  magnitude  that  this  should 
be.  Should  the  Commissioners  take  hold  of  this  matter  suf- 
ficient prize  money  could  be  offered  to  induce  Eastern  ex- 
hibitors to  show  two  or  three  hundred  dogs.  These,  combined 
with  the  Pacific  Coast  entries,  would  make  up  a  show  of  suf- 
ficient magnitude  to  attract  the  attention  of  the  whole  United 
Slates  and  would  unquestionably  prove  a  financial  success. 
The  Fair  peop'e  could  charge  a  small  additional  entrance 
fee  to  the  dog  show  and  this  combined  with  the  entrance 
money  would  reimburse  them  handsomely. 

We  art-  quite  positive  that  the  executive  body  of  the  Pacific 
Kennel  Club  would  willingly  volunteer  their  services.  This 
would  give  the  show  the  use  of  the  American  Kennel  Club 
rules  aod  insure  a  big  entry.  A  $4  entrance  fee  with  a  lib- 
erftl  clttsiOc&tion,  >!■*»,  £1  <>  ami  >">,  prizes  in  n\n;ii  rhis-e-  and 
$20  or  $25  kennel  prizes  would  hriug  from  700  to  1,000  dogs. 

Eastern  exhibitors  would  gladly  avail  themselves  of  the 
opportunity  to  visit  the  Coast  and  the  fair  at  the  present  re- 
dooed  rates,  and  incidentally  sell  a  dog  or  two. 

Specialty  judges  could  be  engaged  and  all  in  all,  the  Fair, 
the  country  and  the  dog  would  be  greatly  benefitted  could 
such  an  arrangement  be  brought  about.  Moreover:  It  would 
be  quite  a  feather  in  California's  cap  to  bring  the  bench  show 
to  a  successful  issue  after  the  miserable  failure  of  the  Chicago 
management. 

Dick  Swiveler. 


Dick  Swiveler's  new  owner  evidently  cannot  live  without 
blowing  his  horn  in  the  same  old  style.  His  advertisement 
reads  as  follow-* :  "  The  stud  fee  has  been  reduced  from  $50." 
Considering  the  tact  that  his  former  owner  had  not  asked  but 
?2o  for  his  wiTtce*  for  considerable  over  a  year,  the  reduc- 
tion in  rate  is  no!  very  recent.  The  "  ad  "  further  on  reads 
"  Han  met  and  defeated  all  (be  most  famous  champion  Irish 
setters  in  America,  now  living."  So  he  has,  and  every  last 
one  of  them  have  defeated  him  under  different  judges.    "His 


sire,  dam,  grandsire  and  great  grandsire  were  winners  at  field 
trials  against  all  breeds  of  setters  and  pointers."  The  onlv 
field  trial  winnings  of  his  sire  and  dam  are  third  Philadelphia 
Kennel  Club  trials,  18S7,  nine  starters  (six  of  the  nine  Irish 
setters,  first  won  by  an  English  setter)  and  first  Philadelphia 
Kennel  Club  trials,  ISso,  four  starters,  two  Irish,  two  Eng- 
lish. Both  trials  open  to  members  only.  Further:  ''Cham- 
pion Dick  Swiveler  stamps  his  puppies  with  the  highest  bench 
qualities  as  well  as  field."  The  Stud  Books  contain  registra- 
tions of  thirty-five  of  the  get  of  this  great  sire.  Of  the  lot,  two 
have  won  first  in  small  puppy  classes  and  one  other  a  V.  H. 
C.  card.  This  is  every  winning  of  the  lot.  Dick  Swiveler 
has  never  sired  one  solitary  "winner"  on  either  bench  or  field. 
In  short  he  has  proved  an  utter  failure  in  the  stud  and  on  this 
account  was  recently  sold  for  a  trifle  over  $100.  As  an  indi- 
vidual he  is,  or  was,  a  very  excellent  specimen,  but  we  do  not 
propose  to  sit  quiet  and  see  the  public  misled  in  any  such 
manner  as  his  present  owner  is  attempting.

Saved    by   a   Dog    From   Drowning. 


Rudolph  Zepple,  the  twelve-year-old  son  of  B.  Zepple,  of 
264  and  260  Johnson  avenue,  Brooklyn,  had  a  narrow  escape 
from  drowning  while  in  bathing  here  the  other  day. 

Zepple,  the  father,  left  his  home  in  the  morning  with  his 
wife  and  three  children  to  spend  the  day  at  the  beach.  He 
brought  with  him  his  big  rough-coated  St.  Bernard  to  give 
the  dog  an  airing,  too.  Rudolph  coaxed  his  father  to  let  him 
go  in  bathing. 

The  boy  had  been  enjoying  himself  in  the  water  at  the  foot 
of  Seaside  avenue  about  half  an  hour  when  a  big  wave  car- 
ried him  out  into  deep  water.  The  boy  cried  out  for  help, 
but  none  of  the  bathers  who  were  near  oflered  to  go  to  his 
aid.  The  boy  sank  from  sight,  to  appear  a  moment  or  two 
later,  still  further  from  shore. 

Zppple,  seeing  the  danger  of  his  son,  quickly  loosed  the 
St.  Beroard  from  his  collar,  and,  pointing  to  the  drowning 
boy,  ordered  the  animal  to  go  to  Rudolph's  rescue.  The  in- 
telligent animal,  without  a  moment's  hesitation,  sprang 
through  the  line  of  breakers  and  swam  toward  the  struggling 
boy.  Before  the  dog  reached  bim  Rudolph  sank  a  second 
time.  His  disappearance  somewhat  confused  the  dog,  who 
turned  around  and  around  in  the  water,  searching  for  him. 
Xot  seeing  the  boy  he  was  about  to  return  to  shore,  when  Ru- 
dolph appeared  on  top  of  a  wave.  With  a  few  powerful 
strokes  the  shaggy  monster  was  at  the  side  of  the  child,  who 
had  hv  this  time  become  unconscious.  The  dog  seized  the 
little  fellow's  left  arm,  just  below  the  shoulder,  with  his  teeth, 
much  as  he  would  a  piece  of  driftwood,  and  started  shore- 
ward. On  the  beach  were  hundreds  of  people  watching  the 
dog.  The  father  of  the  boy  was  unable  to  restrain  himself, 
and  rushing  into  the  water  up  to  his  waist,  seized  the  child 
and  carried  bim  to  the  shore,  where  restoratives  were  applied. 
Rudolph  was  soon  going  around,  proudly  exhibiting  the  im- 
print of  the  dog's  teeth  on  his  arm. — Rod,  Gun  and  Kennel. 

The  Faithfulness  of  a  Collie. 


The  Collie  is  an  interesting  example  of  the  effect  of  educa- 
tion on  instinct,  and  the  great  usefulness  of  this  dog  has  made 
men  anxious  for  the  preservation  of  this  remarkable  species, 
says  the  British  Fancier.  In  some  cases  we  hear  of  its  rav- 
ages, but  education  has,  to  a  certain  extent,  subdued  and  even 
supplanted  that  natural  instinct,  and  induced  a  disposition 
which  has  become  an  hereditary  characteristic ;  hence  a 
shepherd's  dog  of  the  true  breed,  takes  naturally  to  its  duties. 
"  A  female  dog  belonging  to  a  shepherd  near  Dunning,  who 
had  bought  eighty  sheep  for  his  master,  though  the  flock  had 
to  go  seventeen  miles  through  a  populous  country,  despatched 
them  under  the  care  of  his  bitch  alone,  who  was  near  whelp- 
ing, and  indeed  whelped  en  route.  The  way  in  which  the 
bitch  discharged  her  trust  under  such  exceptional  conditions 
was  afterwards  gathered  from  various  persons  who  had 
noticed  her  on  the  road.  When  she  had  gone  a  few  miles 
shedropped  two  whelps,  but  faithful  to  her  charge,  she  drove 
the  sheep  on  a  mile  or  two  further,  then,  allowing  them  to 
stop,  returned  for  her  pups,  which  she  carried  for  about  two 
miles  in  advance  of  the  sheep.  Leaving  her  pups  the  Collie 
again  returned  for  the  sheep,  and  drove  them  on  for  a  few 
miles.  This  she  continued  to  do,  alternately  carrying  her 
young  ones,  and  taking  charge  of  her  flock,  which  she  suc- 
ceeded in  bringing  to  her  master's  house,  but  unfortunately 
not  her  pups,  which  died  in  transit,  proving  that  a  dog  ir.ay 
be  so  brave  as  to  sacrifice  its  own  offspring  rather  than  ne- 
glect thecall    of  duty." 

Barry  of  Hauenstein. 


We  had  the  pleasure  of  interviewing  the  R.  C.  St.  Bernard 
Barry  of  Hauenstein  on  Tuesday  last  and  he  is  without 
question  one  of  the  most  typical  St.  Bernards  that  we  have 
seen  in  a  long  time.  His  head  is  very  typical.  In  our 
estimation — the  proper  type.  His  skull  is  massive  and  well 
proportioned,  his  muzzle  square,  broad  and  deep,  ears  small 
aod  well  set  on,  markings  correct,  and  the  benevolent  eye. 
combined  with  his  great  character  and  expression  combines 
to  make  his  head  a  grand  one.  Back  of  the  head  he  is  very 
massively  aod  strongly  built.  His  shoulders  and  fore  arms 
are  very  good,  bone  excellent,  body  deep  and  ribs  well  sprung, 
loin  broad  and  powerful,  hind  legs  excelleut  in  bone  and 
formatioo,  feet  good.  He  is  a  good  mover  and  excellently 
proportioned  throughout.  The  only  fault  that  we  detect  in 
him  was  weak  pasterns,  strong  enough  as  far  as  strength  goes, 
but  bent  by  his  great  weight  when  a  puppy.  Barry  heads 
the  Kennel  of  St.  Bernards  at  the  Midwinter  Fair  and  should 
be  visited  by  all  lovers  of  the  "  Holy  breed". 

Consolidated  Kennel  Clubs. 


Onr  Portland  contemporary,  the  Northwest  Sportsman,  has 
the  following  to  say  of  the  proposed  consolidation  in  the 
North  : 

We  had  hoped  to  be  able  to  state  this  week  that  consolida- 
tion had  been  erlected  by  the  Oregon  and  Portland  Kennel 
Clubs,  but  thb  consolidation  meeting  has  not  as  yet  been  held. 
We  are  assured  that  all  the  preliminaries  have  been  arranged, 
and  they  will  meet  at  an  early  date.  The  consolidated  club 
will  immediately  take  steps  towards  holding  a  bench  show  in 
May.  Many  inquiries  are  being  received  in  regard  to  the 
proposed  show,  and  a  grand  success  is  assured. 

[We  trust  that  this  will  come  to  pass,  and  that  speedily, 
for  the  good  of  all  concerned. — Ed.]

Salmon  Fishing. 


To  secure  a  salmon  after  it  rises  to  the  fly  it  must  first  of  al 
be  securely  hooked,  and  salmon  fishermen  do  not  fully  agree 
as  to  just  how  it  is  done.  I  really  think  they  do  agree  more 
nearly  than  they  seem  to  when  one  says  he  strikes  and  an- 
other says  he  does  not,  and  it  is  more  a  difference  of  opinion 
of  what  constitutes  a  strike.  I  think  that  Mr.  David  Wilson, 
honorary  secretary  of  the  London  Fly-Fisher's  Club,  strikes 
the  happy  medium  in  telling  how  he  does  it.  He  was  wading 
a  salmon  river  and  made  a  long  cast  toward  a  rock  in  mid- 
stream, ths  fly  struck  the  rock  and  bounded  back  into  the 
pool  where  it  was  taken  by  a  fish  as  follows:  "  The  salmon 
was  hooked  in  the  roof  of  the  mouth,  well  toward  the  gullet, 
which  would  point  to  the  conclusion  that  it  had  seized  the  fly 
when  the  line  was  perfectly  slack  and  swallowed  it  well  down  . 
I  did  not  'strike'  in  either  case.  In  fact,  I  never  do  strike  a 
salmon  except  iu  very  slow  running  water,  but  alwavs  make 
a  practice  of  wiuding  a  fish  up  short  at  once,  and  putting  on 
sufficient  strain  to  make  sure  the  hook  has  gone  home." 

From  killing  a  salmon,  to  the  lure  that  bring  it  to  gaff,  is 
but  another  step,  albeit  a  step  backwaid.  I  have  just  re- 
ceived from  Mr.  George  Hollard,  of  Winchester,Hants,  whom 
the  Badmingtoo  Library  says  is  one  of  the  most  excellent 
professional  fly  tyers  in  the  three  kingdoms,  samples  of 
"  grubs "  which  he  tells  me  are  now  being  used  for  salmon  in 
Great  Britain.  They  appear  to  be  the  best  possible  lure  for 
ouananiche,  and  unless  all  signs  fail  they  will  prove  very 
killing.  They  are  hackles  with  the  hackles  for  most  part 
lied  in  three  sections,  although  some  are  tied  Palmer  fashion. 
They  are  not  unlike  some  Scotch  sea  trout  flies  that  Mr. 
Chambers  agreed  with  me  last  year  where  excellent  ouan- 
aniche flies.  The  grubs  shall  have  a  trial  when  the  season 
opens,  and  I'll  warrant  they  will  give  a  good  account  of  them- 
selves when  the  score  is  rounded  up. — A.  N.  Cheney  in  Forest 
and  Stream. 


Mr.  W.  K.  McClure  when  called  upon  for  a  speech  at  the 
annual  reunion  of  the  Megantic  Fish  and  Game  Club  held  in 
Boston  described  his  first  visit  to  Megantic,  where  he  was  ob- 
liged to  take  a  young  boy  as  guide.  They  became  well  ac- 
quainted, and  the  boy  being  an  unusually  intelligent  lad, 
they  were  successful  in  fishing,  capturing  a  four  and  a  half 
and  finally  a  six  pound  fish.  When  the  latter  fish  was  taken 
he  thought  it  was  one  of  the  proudest  moments  in  the  boy's 
life.  The  story  of  its  capture  was  graphically  told.  While 
fishing  near  a  rock,  not  far  from  the  clubhouse,  he  made  a 
cast  near  the  rock.  He  immediately  had  a  strike,  and  told 
his  guide  to  be  careful,  as  he  had  struck  a  big  fish.  He  had 
nearly  conquered  the  fish,  when  the  guide  in  attempting  to 
net  it  missed,  and  the  fish  run,  taking  from  forty  to  fifty  feet 
of  line,  but  it  was  not  lost.  It  was  again  reeled  in  and  finally 
captured,  and  the  battle  was  over.  He  was  the  first  to  fish  in 
Massachusetts  bog  after  a  prolonged  close  season.  Kever  in 
his  life  had  he  experienced  such  fishing ;  his  flies,  the  Par- 
raachenee  Bell  and  Red  Ibis,  were  taken  by  trout  with  such 
rapidity  that  he  caught  fish  until  he  was  greatly  fatigued. 
While  fishing  there  he  entangled  his  line.  His  companion 
urged  him  to  break  the  leader,  as  valuable  time"  was  being 
lost.  This  he  refused  to  do  as  the  leader  was  made  by  an  old 
brother  angler,  who  had  now  gone  to  the  happy  hunting 
grounds.  He  would  not  break  it,  but  instead  disrobed  him- 
self and  plunging  into  thecold  water  released  his  line  and  re- 
turned to  the  boat.  Although  it  was  intensely  cold,  as  bestood 
in  the  boat  without  a  particle  of  clothing,  be  could  not  resist 
making  a  cast.  That  is  an  example  of  what  an  ardent  angler 
will  do  under  trying  circumstances. 

For  a  summer  outing  there  is  no  place  in  the  world  that 
excels  California.  Eastern  sportsmen  that  attend  our  Fair 
either  for  pleasure  or  profit  will  find  that  for  pleasant  and 
successful  hunting  and  fishing,  the  mountains  of  California 
are  unsurpassed.  The  trout  streams  are  particularly  access- 
ible. Good  fishing  may  be  had  in  a  hundred  streams  near 
our  largest  cities.  If  one  hungers  for  the  wilder  scenes  and 
Nature's  handiwork  undisturbed  by  man,  a  trip  to  the  Yosem- 
ite  for  the  famous  golden  trout  or  to  the  Klamath  regions, 
can  be  taken  at  a  moderate  cost.  To  Eastern  fly  fishermen 
we  would  say  :  Come  to  the  Fair  during  the  latter  months  of 
its  existence,  and  try  a  cast  or  two  for  our  California  speckled 
beauties. 

The  committee  on  Fly  Casting  Tournament  at  the  Mid- 
wiater  Exposition  met  on  Tuesday  last  and  considerable  work 
was  accomplished.  The  exact  date  and  other  preliminaries 
have  not  yet  been  determined  upon.  The  tournament  is  in 
excellent  hands  and  will  unquestionably  prove  a  great  success. 
Regular  weekly  meetings  will  be  held  until  the  tournament. 
The  particulars  will  be  given  to  the  public  through  the 
medium  of  this  paper  as  soon  as  they  are  arranged. 

Salmon  fishing  in  tide  water  is  at  its  height.  All  the 
streams  contain  a  good  run.  Jack  Sammi  landed  a  good  one 
on  Sunday  and  Butler  went  htm  one  better,  at  Point  Reyes. 
Sonoma,  Pescadero,  Austin  Creek  and  all  the  near  by  creeks 
are  providing  good  sport. 

Clabroueh  .Golcher  &  Co.  have  just  received  a  fine  assort- 
ment of  English  fishing  tackle  of  all  descriptions.  Call 
and  examine.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AKD  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Stbive  for  the  Best — I  feel  that  however  many  times 
the  above  side-head  may  be  placed  before  the  readers  of 
papers  which  advocate  live-stock  production  the  space  wil1 
be  well  occupied.  Though  it  should  be  kept  standing  from 
one  week  to  another  all  through  the  year,  and  for  that  matter 
all  tbe  years,  the  room  will  not  be  thrown  away.  In  a  line 
by  itself,  and  without  further  comment,  it  would  scarcely  fail 
to  awaken  enquiries  and  lead  to  valuable  results. 

There  is  no  department  of  stock  breeding  which  is  more 
susceptible  of  improvement  than  what  is  now  denominated 
light  harness  horses,  that  appellation  covering  so  many  uses 
that  it  has  a  wider  range  than  any  other.     Primarily,  the  pro- 
duction of  fast  trotters   and   pacers;  though   in   connection 
therewith  such  a  number  of  others,  that  with  the  exception 
of  race  horses,  horses  for  heavy  draft,  and  ponies,  it  will  not 
be  far  out  of  the  way  to  include  every  variety  in  domestic  j 
life,  and  also  army  purposes.     A  wide  range  and  it  would  : 
seem  that  if  a  person  were  to  endeavor  to  breed  horses  which  ! 
would  be  adapted  for  all  these  uses,  he  would  require  an  im- 
mense establishment,  wide   areas,  stallions  and   broodmares  ; 
without  number.  A  valid  objection  and  yet  there  is  a  chance  | 
to  combine  several  in  the  object  without  a  big  farm  or  a  large 
stock.     Thus  fast  trotters,  roadsters,  carriage  horses,  animals  i 
for  use  on  the  farm,  business  horses,  and  even  saddlers  may  ! 
V*?  looked  for  from  the  same  sires  and  a  few  dams,  if  these  I 
have  been  judiciously  chosen.     As  an  illustration  let  us  sup- 
pose that  a  person  engaging  in  breeding  horses  which  have  a 
good  chance  to  prove  fast  trotters,  ind  failing  in  that  will  ba  ! 
of  a  stamp  which  will  fill  some  of  the  purposes   above  men- 
tioned, and  that  so  well  as  to  return  a  good  profit  on  the  in- 
vestment.  That  the  intention  is  to  breed  on  a  moderate  scale 
though  sufficiently  large  to  keep  a  stallion.     The  first  thing 
will  be  to  select  a  sire  and  in  securing  that  important  part  of  I 
the  equipment  the  greatest  care  should  be  observed.    Xow  i 
that  there  has  been  such  a  drop  in  the  price  of  stallions,  a  j 
suitable  horse  can  be  obtained  for  a  sum  which  will  come 
within  the  limits  I  have  marked,  viz.,  an  amount  which  will 
not  be  so  great  that  the  venture  will  give  reasonable  hopes  of 
being  a  paying  one,  if  very  fast  trotters  do  not  result.    The 
first  requirement  would  be  individual  excellence.  High  form, 
fair  size,  not  less  than  15|  hands,  good  color,  brown  or  bay  , 
for  choice,  dark  chestnut  after  these,  solid  color  though  a  star  I 
and  one  or  two  white  feet  would  not  disqualify:  in  these  re-  ! 
spects  ahorse  which  if  castrated,  would  exactly  "fill  the  bill"  | 
for  a  premium  carriage  horse,  or  a  roadster  for  a  gentleman  j 
to  drive. 

The  minimum  weight,  when  carrying  a  good  coating  of  j 
flesh,  eleven  hundred  pounds,  with  plenty  of  range  and  style. 
High  formmeaDS  that  there  should  be  good  poiotsall  through  J 
and  harmony  of  proportion,  tersely  stated  a  handsome  horse, 
exciting  general  admiration  as  well  as  favorable  criticism 
from  experts.  The  more  trotting  speed  the  more  desirable 
the  animal  possessing  the  higher  rate  if  not  deficient  in  other 
particulars,  but  that  should  not  be  considered  equivalent  to 
more  important  considerations.  If  the  horse  had  been  trained 
for  any  length  of  time  2:30  would  be  the  slowest  rate  ap- 
proved, though  action  should  be  held  of  more  importance, 
and  given  preference  over  one  which  was  ten  or  fifteen  sec- 
onds faster  if  that  requirement  were  inferior  to  the  standard 
selected.  While  both  parents  influence  the  progeny  I  am  of 
the  opinion  that  the  male,  in  a  majority  of  cases,  has  the 
greatest  effect  on  the  action  and  therefore  while  seeking  for 
the  best  on  both  sides,  it  would  be  an  indispensable  require- 
ment in  the  stallion,  nearly  as  important  as  form,  one  of  the 
vital  points  in  making  a  choice.  There  are  various  opinions 
regarding  action  and  that  which  one  may  approve  another 
condemn.  There  is  one  feature,  however,  which  will  receive 
general  approbation,  that  being  "square  trotting."  People 
differ  in  detail,  argue  heartily  in  regard  to  knee  and  hock 
action,  long  and  short  stride,but  the  nearest  I  ever  heard  faulty 
approved,  was  some  thirty  years,  when  the  speaker,  it  was 
simply  John  Turner,  before  the  title  of  General  was  con- 
ferred, when  he  said  of  a  mare  with  anything  but  a  square- 
gait  trot  he  would  buy  her  at  a  fair  figure.  But  he  gave  me 
the  information  that  he  had  known  such  to  make  fast  trotters 
when  the  fault  was  remedied,  and  had  a  good  deal  of  con- 
fidence in  working  a  cure  on  her.  He  bought  her  the  winter 
following,  I  believe,  but  as  she  was  only  known  to  me  as  the 
*'  Captain  Spalding  mare,"  her  subsequent  history  is  beyond 
my  knowledge. 

Even  granting  that  a  "  foul-gaited  "  trotter  canbe  de- 
veloped into  one  with  speed  enough  to  win  money  it  would 
be  a  serious  objection  to  a  stallion,  especially  as  a  prospective 
sire  of  such  horses  as  I  have  in  my  mind,  and  hence  good 
natural  action,  the  kind  which  does  not  require  long  school- 
ing to  perfect,  or  tbe  use  of  any  of  the  various  appliances 
now  so  much  in  vogue,  to  remedy,  should  be  the  choice. 
While  not  rating  boots  among  reprehensible  artificial  appli- 
ances for  so  far  as  the  present  knowledge  of  training  fast  trot- 
ters goes,  they  are  indispensible  adjuncts  in  the  course  of  the 
education  of  fast  trotters,  and  there  is  little  question  that  tbe 
great  improvement  in  these  equipments  in  the  past  twenty 
years  has  had  a  good  deal  to  do  wi;h  the  wonderful  progress 
that  was  made  nnder  like  conditions. 

Before  the  era  of  kite-shaped  tracks,  small  wheels  and  air- 
filled  tires  is  what  is  meant  by  like  conditions,  and  to  im- 
proved guards  against  injury  a  due  portion  of  the  praise  must 
be  given  for  the  lowering  of  records  prior  to  these  later 
aids. 

For  very  fast  trotting  and  that  kept  up  from  the  beginning 
to  the  ending  of  a  mile  the  action  of  Arion  could  scarcely  be 
improved.  Just  enough  to  give  a  good  stride  without  any 
greater  effort  of  the  muscles  than  was  necessary  to  accomplish 
the  result.  Fore  footstriking  the  ground  atits  furthers  reach, 
neither  dwelling  or  coming  back  at  the  critical  moment.  Fore 
and  hind  feet  in  unison  in  as  regular  cadence  as  the  beating 
of  a  pendulum  adjusted  to  a  length  which  would  correspond 
to  the  time  of  the  stroke.  Like  a  majority  of  the  Electioneers 
the  feet  are  carried  true  and  straight  without  swing.gracefully 
and  easily,  however  high  the  speed.  But  a  one  hundred  and 
twenly-five  thousand  dollar  horse,  or  even,  as  the  times  now 
are,  a  ten  thousand  horse,  are  too  expensive  for  this  imagi- 
nary stock  farm,  unless  the  fees  for  outside  mares  would  pay 
for  a  portion  of  the  investment  and  therefore  it  is  useless  to 
consider  that  class  in  this  connection.  Still  Arkn  can  be 
used  for  an  illustration  and  there  is  little  question  that  some 


people  will  be  horrified,  apt  a  few  amazed,  when  I  say  that 
for  all  the  perfection  of  action,  undeniable  good  breeding  and 
high  form,  were  the  choice  between  a  counterpart  of  the 
champion  two-year-old  which  could  trot  a  mile  in  2:30  and 
five  or  a  few  more  seconds  slower,  both  having  the  same 
amount  of  training,  my  preference  would  be  for  the  slower, 
provided  however,  that  he  had  the  good  points  which  the 
other  possessed  and  others  better  adapted  for  the  production 
of  one  class  of  stock  which  is  relied  upon  to  carry  the  place 
along.  For  instance,  I  find  this  paragraph  "  going  the 
rounds :" 

A  BABE  Kl.vri  OF  HOBSE. 

Place  51,000  in  the  hands  of  an  intelligent  buyer,  says  a  writer  and 
tell  him  to  secure  a  horse  for  you  standing  16  bands,  weighing  about 
1,100  pounds,  standard  color,  handsome  and  stylish,  good  disposition 
and  fearless,  with  courage,  endurance  and  action  that  will  allow  him 
to  road  naturally  twelve  miles  an  hour  and  pull  you,  witb  a  compan- 
ion, down  tbe  road  better  than  a  250  gait,  and  yoor  buyer,  if  an  hon- 
est man,  will  bring  you  bact  your  money  and  say  it  is*  impossible  to 
find  such  a  horse.  Such  ahorse  is  the  gentleman's  ideal  road  horse, 
a  type  for  which  there  is  an  enormous  demand  and  no  apparent  sup- 
ply. 

The  hitch-up  would  have  been  in  better  shape  to  put  in  the 
lead  of  the  string,  the  horse  on  which  the  greatest  dependence 
was  put  to  square  the  accounts.  Then  apparent  incongrui- 
ties would  be  reconciled,  and  a  better  understanding  of  the 
scheme  I  have  in  view.  And  then,  too,  in  place  of  a  short 
essay  or  two,  which  I  supposed  was  only  necessary  to 
explain  the  position,  the  questions  involvad  are  of  so  much 
importance  that  several  will  be  required  to  elucidate  them 
satisfactorily. 

One  would  naturally  suppose  that  the  stallion  would  be  the 
first  thing  to  secure  as  the  most  important  actor  in  the  equine 
drama,  and  it  is  sure  that  he  will  be  of  great  consequence, 
though  with  others  not  far,  if  at  all,  behind.  In  fact,  there 
will  be  so  many  prominent  figures  in  the  play,  every  one  of 
them  demanding  attention,  that  the  only  way  to  present  them 
so  that  they  can  display  their  proper  character,  will  be  to  pre- 
sent an  act  weekly,  or  it  may  be  that  one  scene  will  occupy 
the  whole  of  the  stage  for  that  representation,  though  I  hope 
that  in  these  days,  when  breeders  are  harassed  to  a  greater 
degree  th^n  they  have  endured  in  bygone  years,  the  play 
may  be  instructive  and  perhaps  pleasing. 

Therefore,  the  dramatis  personae  will  include  homo  and 
equus  the  main  scene  will  be  the  farm — I  like  that  word  bet- 
ter than  ranch — the  fields,  paddocks,  buildings,  track  and  kin- 
dergarten., with  quite  a  collection  of  minor  adjuncts,  thor- 
oughly indispensable  in  a  well  managed  place.

San  Fj&ancisco  Ttjbf  Guide. — In  these  days  when  the 
study  of  form  enters  so  largely  into  the  pleasures  of  race-goers 
the  little  book  which  bears  the  above  title  is  almost  indispens- 
able. Form  is  a  word  of  various  meanings  when  applied  to 
horses,  and  the  fashionable  world  has  caught  the  idea,  and  got 
one  sensible  thing,  at  least,  mired  up  with  the  "heap'"  of 
frivolities  which  are  the  delight  of  the  four  hundred.  In 
this  case  it  means  the  form  shown  in  races — public  form  is 
tbe  technical  phrase — and  hence  when  the  performances  of 
the  365  horses  which  are  grouped  in  the  pamphlet  are  tabu- 
lated so  that  the  position  of  each  can  be  noted  for  every 
eighth  from  start  to  finish,  there  is  good  data  for  the  calcula- 
tion. The  knowledge  gained  by  careful  study  is  far  superior 
to  "tips,"  which  are  given  for  a  consideration,  though  my 
advice  is  not  to  place  too  much  dependence  on  either,  when 
it  comes  to  wagering  on  races.  Luck,  with  a  big  L,  is  the 
main  dependence,  though,  good  fortune  and  knowledge  are 
trustier  combinations  than  either  alone.  The  book,  however, 
is  valuable  apart  from  speculation.  There  is  a  fund  of  in- 
formation conveniently  reached  which  would  entail  a  great 
deal  of  labor  to  obtain  it  from  general  sources.  A  few  minutes 
were  all  that  were  needed  for  me  to  find  data  on  a  question 
that  I  was  interested  in  securing,  and  that  is  only  one  item  of 
many. 

There  was  a  good  deal  of  merriment  amoDg  the  knights  of 
the  reportorial  pencil  (that  is  to  distinguish  them  from  the 
"  pencillers  ")  over  my  backing  a  colt,  of  whom  I  knew  noth- 
ing, for  the  sole  reason  that  I  owned  his  dam  a  good  many 
years  ago.  He  won,  so  that  sentiment  proved  to  be  a  success- 
ful tip  on  that  occasion.  But  that  was  not  the  only  guide. 
She  was  a  rare-good-one  at  the  distance  her  son  was  to  accom- 
plish. Still  sentiment  may  lead  to  luck,  and  had  that  been, 
the  prompter  support  of  the  old  stock  would  have  been  fairly 
remunerative.  With  the  help  of  the  San  Francisco  Turf 
Guide  in  the  290  races  tabulated,  there  are  39  races  won  by 
horses  which  had  a  strain  of  the  blood  I  had  owned.  Either 
sire  or  dam,  or  grandsire  or  grandam,  further  removes  were 
not  considered,  and  for  the  few  horses  which  they  represent 
it  must  be  admitted  a  good  showing.  It  will  not  occupy  much 
time,  witb  the  help  of  the  Turf  Guide,  to  make  out  a  full  his- 
tory, the  number  of  starters,  races  run,  etc.  Since  the  races 
which  are  published,  in  that  there  was  one  day  when  the 
"old  stock  "  won  four  of  the  five  races  divided,  which  is  unco 
good,  and  exceedingly  gratifying  to  a  person  who  cherishes 
the  memory  of  horses  which  have  been  in  the  family  with 
great  fondness.

Jack  Gambil.—"  Billy  L.,  in  that  mile  took  a  record  of 
2:18|.  He  was  raised  at  Seward,  >~eb.,  and  is  a  son  of  Platte, 
bv  Gustavns,  dam  hy  Jack  Gamble,  a  registered  thorough- 
bred horse."  That  is  part  of  a  paragraph  in  Western  Re- 
sources and  recalls  a  horse  which  I  saw  run  in  St.  Louis.  As 
he  was  named  after  our  old  friend  who  died  a  few  weeks  ago, 
and  he  spelled  his  name  Gambil  that  should  be  the  ortho- 
graphy of  the  son  of  Wagner  and  Helen  Faucitt,  by  imp. 
Tranby.  There  was  another  Jack  Gamble,  by  Imp.  Glencoe 
and  he  too,  probably  took  his  name  from  the  same  man.  Both 
are  spelled  in  the  Stud  Book  Gamble,  and  as  among  many  of 
the  anecdotes  the  death  of  the  old  pioneer  has  evoked,  is  one 
bearing  on  the  othography  of  the  surname  it  is  difficult  to  say 
authoritatively  which  is  correct. 

Many  years  ago  Col.  Jack  was  on  a  visit  to  New  ~iork,  and 
when  he  stepped  up  to  the  desk  he  requested  the  clerk  to  en- 
ter on  the  register  Col.  A.  J.  Gambil,  California.  "How  do 
you  spell  it?  was  the  responso,   and   the  reply     "You  have 

got  me  there,  Sonny.  Spell  it  any  way  you please."  The 

Wagner  horse  must  have  been  the  sire  of  the  dam  of  Billy  D. 
inasmuch  as  the  Glencoe  was  debarred  from  having  progeny. 
And  that  is  a  reminder  of  the  Mrs.  Partingtons  of  a  man, 
who  unlike  Col.  Jack,  was  inclined  to  pose  as  a  man  of  learn- 
ing, though  he  could  beat  him  easily  in  misapplying  words. 
Talking  of  a  man  who  had  few  good  qualities  he  said:  "That 
he  could  have  a  seat  in  the  legislation  if  he  chose,  and  in 


that  case  would  have  a  law  passed  that  would  stop  all  such 
men  from  perpetrating  their  posterity  in  the  country."  Had 
he  meant  what  he  said  in  place  of  the  intention  to  say  per- 
petuate it  would  have  been  a  good  stroke  of  wit,  but  the  out- 
burst of  laughter  that  followed  might  have  convinced  him 
that  the  mirth  was  too  boisterous   for  even  a  good  joke. 

For  a  fund  of  solid  sense  and  genteel  behavior  outside  of 
the  luck  of  education,  Col.  Jack  was  far  above  the  average 
run  of  men.  He  had  seen  the  world  from  many  points  of 
view  and  one  of  his  mental  calibre  in  the  early  days  of 
California,  was  in  a  school  which  was  a  potent  educator.  At 
times  it  seemed  as  though  he  "put  on"  a  part  of  his  ignor- 
ance of  the  vernacular,  as  another  anecdote  will  indicate.  A 
Southern  Californian  was  extolling  the  country  for  horse- 
breeding,  and  I  had  raised  the  Colonel's  ire  by  saying  that  it 
in  time  would  rival  the  best  blue-grass  region  of  Kentucky 
and  Tennessee.  That  was  my  first  summerin  California,  hav- 
ing visited  the  Star  and  Garter  with  a  company  from  San 
Francisco.  At  a  former  visit  I  had  acquired  his  friendship 
by  admitting  that  Betsy  Malone  was  at  the  head  of  the  heap 
and  Miss  Foote  the  greatest  racer  of  her  size  that  ever  was 
foaled.  More  than  that  I  brought  to  California  two  great- 
grandsons  and  one  grandaughter  of  the  mare  which  had  won 
twenty-one  races,  nearly  all  of  them  at  long  distances,  the 
only  race  she  lost  owing  to  a  fall.  Then  I  was  acquainted 
with  many  of  his  old  friends  in  the  South  and  Southwest  and 
could  tell  him  of  the  running  of  his  namesake,  "  as  game  as 
a  pebble"  if  not  so  speedy  as  some  of  the  others.  "  The 
grandest  quality  in  man  or  horse"  was  his  answer,  "and  I 
had  horses  of  the  genuine  old  racing  stock  in  my  stage  that 
would  swim  the  Massissip  wuh  a  Concord  coach  behind 
them,  or  jerk  it  across  breaks  in  a  corduroy  road  that 
would  swamp  a  bull-team". 

The  lower  country  man  claimed  that  alfalfa  was  the  best  of 
all  green  feed  for  racehorses,  far  superior  to  blue-grass.  "Bet- 
ter than  blue-grass  !  "  roared  Col.  Jack;  "better  than  Ten- 
nessee blue-grass  ! !  "  in  louder  tones,  "  your Asphalt  um 

pastures  are  no  more  to  be  compared  to  that  than  a  gourd 
vine  to  a  hickory  cat  on  the  Hermitage."  While  the 
laughter  was  at  its  height  he  turned  to  me  and  in  an  under 
tone,  "1  had  him  there  on  tbat  asphaltum." 

When  the  Duchess  of  Norfolk  was  running  on  the  Bay 
District  Col.  Jack  was  there  and  I  told  him  she  was  of  the 
Betsy  Malone  tribe,  through  Charnaer,  which  he  also  knew 
very  well.  When  Emperor  of  Norfolk,  The  Czar,  El  Rio  Rey 
and  Yo  Tambien  followed  in  such  a  marvellous  succession  of 
great  racehorses  he  was  overjoyed,  and  only  a  short  time  be- 
fore his  death  I  met  him  on  Bush  street,  and  gave  him  a  his- 
tozy  of  my  late  journey  to  Nevada,  and  that  the  last  of  the 
family,  so  far  as  could  be  told  from  looks,  was  the  best. 
"  Nothing  like  that  old  Tennessee  blood,"  was  his  reply, 
"and  when  it  runs  back  to  the  greater  t  of  the  band,  like  thirty- 
year-old  Tennessee  whiskev,  the  flavor  is  never  lost."

A  Good  Many  Left. — Western  Resources  publishes  a 
paragraph  that  Salisbury,  Hicfcok,  Goldsmith  and  Kelly  "will 
bring  across  the  Rockies  about  all  the  good  campaigners  on 
the  Pacific  Coast."  While  the  stars  of  the  first  magnitude 
wsll  make  for  the  land  of  the  Rising  Sun,  accompanying  them 
will  be  some  which  could  find  plenty  of  business  at  home. 
The  home  army  of  pacers  need  not  fear  any  opponents,  and 
were  the  best  of  the  Eastern-bred,  and  the  cracks  from  this 
coast,  which  have  gained  renown  in  the  East,  to  join  in  tbe 
battles  here  they  would  realize  that  they  had  a  good  fight. 
Apart  from  Hulda  and  Directum,  McKinney,  Klamath  Ot- 
tinger  and  others  would  try  the  mettle  of  the  best  of  the  cru- 
saders, and  then  there  are  some  dark  ones  which  are  likely  to 
be  lively  disputants  before  the  season  of  1S94  comes  to  an  end. 

When  the  entries  for  the  fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H. 
B.  A.  are  published  (this  is  written  the|day  before  closing),  it 
will  be  plainly  shown  than  there  is  no  lack  of  good  horses 
which  will  stay  at  home.

A  Good  Rdxe. — I  think  that  it  was  "Iconclast"  wh  o  pro- 
posed that  when  a  converted  pacer  was  entered  in  trotting 
races  having  time  as  the  standard  of  eligibility,  that  five  sec- 
onds be  added  to  his  pacing  record  and  that  made  his  gaage. 
Whoever  was  the  originator  the  idea^is  sound,  and  rule  to  that 
effect  be  a  valuable  addition  |to  the  code.  The  converse  was 
also  proposed  than  when  a  trotter  was  changed,  five  seconds 
should  be  taken  off  his  record  and  that  is  also  fair.  It  is  cer- 
tainly not  fair  to  allow  a  horse  that  has  started  in  many  races 
won  in  fast  time,  an  old  campaigner,  perhaps,  to  come  into 
the  green  class  merely  from  having  changed  from  one  of  the 
harness  gaits  to  the  other.  The  plan  mentioned  above  will 
remedy  the  end  without  doing  iujustice.

Ten  Years'  Progress. 

"Griffin,"  editor  of  the  "Whips  and  Tips"  department 
of  the  Turf,  Field  and  Farm,  has  just  finished  ten  years'  ser- 
vice in  that  capacity,  and  in  reviewing  the  progress  made 
during  the  decade  says: 

"Ten  years  ago  it  was  the  general  belief  that  trotting  had 
nearly  reached  its  culminating  point ;  but  this  was  also  true 
twenty  and  thirty  and  forty  years  ago,  yet  the  proaress  in  the 
last  decade  has  fully  kept  step  with  any  of  its  piedecessers, 
and  it  may  be  interesting  to  note  the  advances  since  this  de- 
partment of  the  Turf,  Field  and  Farm  was  instituted.  The 
best  record  for  one  mile  in  harness  was,  at  the  beginning  of 
1830,  2:101,  by  Maud  S-,  and  is  now  2:04,  by  Nancy  Hanks ; 
and  no  less  than  twenty-three  trotters,  Maud  S.  included,  have 
beaten  2:101.  This  is  a  stupendous  showing,  but  so  strong  is 
my  belief  iu  the  general  progress  of  the  sport  that  I  do  not 
hesitate  to  predict  that  there  will  be  at  least  300  in  the  2:10 
list  ten  years  from  now,  and  that  no  horse  of  this  gait  will 
bring  a  high  price  for  its  speed  unless  able  to  enter  the  select 
companv  indicated. 

The  two-mile  record,  4:46,  was  then  held  by  Monroe  Chief, 
and  has  been  reduced  to  4:34,  by  Greenlander.  The  three- 
mile  record  was  7:21],  by  Huntress,  and  has  been  lowered 
awav  down  to  6:55  A,  by  Nightingale.  The  five-mile  record, 
13:00,  belonged  to  Ladv  Mac,  and  has  been  reduced  to  12:30^ 
by  Bishop  Hero.  In  1SS4,  Controller  held  the  ten-mile  rec- 
ord, 27:231,  but  the  honor  has  been  taken  from  Mm  by  Pas- 
cal, with  a  record  of  26:15.  All  the  other  long-distance  rec- 
ords stand  as  they  were  ten  years  ago,  no  attempt  to  beat  them 
having  been  made. 

"  The  reductions  of  records  by  young  trotters  have  been 
even  more  marked.  At  the  beginning  of  1SS4  the  fastest 
record  by  a  yearling  was  2:36i,  by  Hinda  Kose,  which  has 
been  lowered  to  2:238  by  Pansy  McGregor.  Wildflower  had 
the  champion  two-year-old  record,  2:21,  which  has  been 
reduced  to  2:10J  by  Arion.  Three-year-old  honors  were  held 
by  Hinda  Kose,  with  a  record  of  2:19Z,  which  Fantasy  has 
dropped  away  down  to  2:0S|,  equaling  the  champion  record 
for  all  ages  so  long  held  by  Maud  S.  The  fastest  four-year- 
old  record  belonged  to  Bonita,  2:18$,  but  the  mark  for  this 
age  has  now  been  placed  at  2:05}  by  Directum.  Santa  Claus 
held  the  five-year-old  record,  2:18,  which  honor  now  belongs 
to  Alii,  2:07i.  It  is  noticeable  that  all  five  of  the  young 
champions  of  ten  years  ago  were  bred  in  California,  and  four 
of  them  were  by  Electioneer,  while  at  present  only  two  are 
CaliforniaDS,  and  do  two  are  by  one  sire. 

"  Ten  years  ago  the  stallion  record  was  held  by  Smuggler, 
2:15],  and  it  has  been  lowered  precisely  ten  seconds  by  Direc- 
tum, 2:05}.  I  now  present,  for  convenience,  these  reductions 
of  records  id  a  tabular  form,  showing  ten  years  of  progress  in 
trotting  performances  in  harness,  from  January  1,  1884,  to 
January  1,  1894.

Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  Sale. 


The  last  annual  sale  of  high-bred  trotting  colts  and  fillies 
from  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm  was  one  that  will  be 
memorable  in  the  history  of  trolling  on  this  coast  from  the 
f-ict  that  every  animal  sold  was  at  that  time,  and  is  at  present, 
deemed  a  decided  bargain.  The  best  proof  of  this  Is  the  fact 
that  not  a  single  one  of  these  youngsters  has  been  sold  or  dis- 
posed of  at  auction  or  private  sale. 

The  stallions  at  this  farm  are  from  the  best  trotting  fami- 
lies in  America,  Eleclioneer,Geo.  Wilkes,Stralhmore  through 
the  great  Steinway,  2:25},  Chas.  Derbyy2:20,  and  Prince 
Bed  Steinway  haH  twelve  in  the  list  and  every  other  one 
that  has  beeD  handled  for  speed  should  have  had  an  oppor- 
tunity of  entering  also.  Champion  after  champion  appears 
to  his  credit  and  his  name  is  a  household  word  everywhere. 
His  son,  Chas.  Derby,  2:20,  is  the  sire  of  the  great  pacing 
four-year-old  champion  Diablo,  2:0Hl,  while  Strathway,  2:19, 
another  developed  son,  is  represented  by  three  very  fast  ones, 
and  in  the  language  of  his  owner,  "  he  imparts  speed  to  all  of 
his  progeny,  whether  tliey  are  royally-bred  on  the  dam's  side 
or  not." 

Prince  Red  is  a  grandly-bred  sire  that  will  become  famous 
fur  the  excellence  of  his  progeny. 

The  majority  of  the  youngsters  to  be  sold  are  by  these  three 
sires  out  of  mares  tracing  to  the  most  fashionable  families  in 
America.  Most  of  them  are  trained  to  drive  single  and 
double,  while  the  reht  are  taught  to  lead  and  will  show 
"speed"  even  in  the  sale  ring  to  justify  she  highest  laudations 
of  the  silver-tongued  auctioneer.  Colts  and  fillies  are  to  be 
'>1<1  that  will  be  fit  to  place  in  races  this  summer  and  plenty 
of  money  will  be  made  with  .them;  and  as   the  services  of 


that  well-known  driver  of  world's  champions,  Millard  Sand- 
ers, have  been  engaged  to  handle  all  the  young  stock  at  the 
farm  this  year,  and  as  a  large  number  of  them  will  appear  on 
the  California  Circuit  in  1S94,  purchasers  of  colts  and  fillies 
will  be  enabled  to  see  the  value  of  all  they  have  bought  en- 
hanced by  the  performances  of  those  trained  and  handled  by 
Mr.  Sanders.  This  rule  has  worked  wonders  in  the  past  at 
Palo  Alto,  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  and  Valensin's  it  is  just  as 
powerful  to-day.  Send  for  a  catalogue  at  once,  and  then  at- 
tend the  sale,  for  it  will  afford  you  untold  pleasure  to  even 
look  at  these  grand-looking  trotters  and  pacers  that  will,  in  a 
few  years,  be  known  all  9vei  the  world  as  champions.

Starr's  Opinion  of  Little  Direct. 

I  was  talking  with  George  Starr  the  other  evening,  and 
among  other  things  asked  him  what  he  thought  Direct's 
chances  for  lowering  his  record  were  this  year. 

"  That  depends  on  his  preparation.  If  he  is  properly  pre- 
pared and  not  started  until  he  is  thoroughly  fit  he  will  pace  a 
mile  in  2:03." 

"  How  about  his  legs  ?  Will  they  hold  him  ?  I've  heard 
they  were  badly  '  gone.'  " 

"  Well,  the  excessive  weight  he  carried  when  he  was  trot- 
ting did  them  a  lot  of  harm,  hut  still,  as  I  said,  I  think  it  all 
depends  on  his  preparation.  His  legs  will  carry  him  all  right 
if  he  isn't  asked  the  question  too  soon.  He  isn't  a  horse  that 
needs  any  fast  work — not  a  bit ;  just  a  long,  slow,  careful 
sharpening  up,  and  then  he  can  run  away  on  a  pace  the  first 
time  he's  cut  loose,  for  he  always  has  his  speed.  A  child 
could  drive  him,  and  he's  the  fastest  horse  in  the  world." 

"  Faster  than  the  Jib  ?" 

"  Yes.  I  don't  think  there's  the  horse  living  he  could  not 
'  stand  on  his  head  '  in  an  eighth  of  a  mile  if  he  was  cut  wide 
open." 

"How  fast  a  quarter  did  you  ever  drive  him  ?" 

"JTwenty-eight  seconds.  He  was  timed  one  in  27£  at  Rich- 
mond, Ind.,  in  1891,  when  he  was  pulling  the  high  wheels, 
but  I  guess  their  watches  were  a  little  off.  But  he's  paced 
them  in  28  seconds  several  times.  There  is  simply  no  end  to 
his  speed." — Horse  Review. 


Dam  and  Grandam  of  Harold. 


Remarkable  Breeding. 


As  can  be  seen  by'the  advertisement  in  this  issue,  Eclectic 
will  stand  for  a  very  low  price  this  year.  His  brother,  Arion, 
stands  for  $500, while  Eclectic's  services  are  only  $50.  Eclec- 
tic is  by  Electioneer,  the  lustre  of  whose  roll  of  honor  has 
been  still  further  brightened  by  the  feats  of  his  re- 
markable three-year-old  grandaughter  Fantasy,  2:08|,  by 
Little  Albert,  2:10,  the  gamest  of  campaigners,  and  many 
others.  Eclectic's  dam  is  the  dam  of  Arion,  2:071,  the  great 
four-year-old,  and  his  second  dam  is  also  the  second  dam  of 
Flying  Jib,  2:04.  He  never  had  but  two  of  |his  get 
handled  for  speed,  One  of  them,  Mialma,  made  a  very  credi- 
table showing  last  year,  while  the  other,  a  yearling,  trotted  a 
mile  in  2:33.  Both  of  these  will  be  seen  on  the  circuit  this 
year. 

Holdfast  has  certainly  a'strong.speed-producing  blood  com- 
bination. To  say  that  his  sire  has  Hulda,  2:08A,  to  his  credit 
is  enough.  His  dam  is  sired  by  Dexter  Prince  who,  aside 
from  his  remarkable  list  of  2:20  or  2:30  performers,  he  has 
thrown  from  mares  of  the  commonest  kind  of  breeding,  he 
inherits  the  Jblood  [that  flowed  in  a  direct  line  to  Director, 
2.17,  Direct,  2:05£,  and  Directum,  2:05J-,  for  Dexter  Prince's 
dam  is  (or  was)  an  own  sister  to  Director,  through  his  second 
dam  Holdfast  inherits  part  of  the  blood  of  Maud  S.,  2:081, 
whilst  his  third  dam  is  said  to  be  by  the  same  horse  that  sired 
the  second  dam  of  Directum,  2:05|-.

How  to  Remove  "Warts. 


A  veterinarian  was  asked  how  to  remove  a  wart  between  the 
hoof  and  pastern  joint  of  a  mare's  fore  leg,  the  wart  as  large 
as  a  man's  fist.  The  answer  was :  "  The  simple  removal  of 
a  wart  by  tying  a  ligature  around  the  base  or  cutting  it  off 
close  to  the  skin  with  a  knife  does  not  always  remove  the  ori- 
gin of  the  morbid  growth,  which,  as  a  rule,  is  located  deep- 
seated  in  the  subcutaneous  tissue ;  hence  the  treatment  seldom 
proves  successful  unless  it  is  followed  up  by  the  application  of 
some  potent  caustic,  viz.,  the  actual  cautery  carefully  applied 
at  a  white  heat,  caustic  potash,  etc.  The  scientific  and  effi- 
cient means  of  treatment  is  to  put  the  patient  under  proper 
restraint.  If  necessary,  cast  and  properly  secure  the  animal; 
then,  with  a  scalpel,  proceed  to  deliberately  dissect  the  wart, 
root  and  branch. 

The  resulting  wound  may  be  dressed  daily  with  some  anti- 
septic, such  as  powdered  boracic  acid,  iodoform,  etc  If,  dur- 
ing the  healing  process,  the  morbid  growth  should  manifest  a 
disposition  to  sprout,  the  caustic  should  be  promptly  applied. 
The  probable  location  of  the  wart  calls  to  mind  the  necessity 
for  some  vigilance  on  the  part  of  the  operator.  It  is  possible 
that  the  base  may  be  located  in  close  proximity  to  some  of  the 
important  blood  vessels  on  the  inside  and  outside  of  the  limb 
in  the  immediate  vicinity  of  the  fetlock  joint,  and  of  course 
due  care  should  be  taken  so  as  not  to  injure  them. 


The  Sale  at  Napa. 


The  closing-out  sale  of  trotting  stock  belonging  to  the  estate 
of  Wm.  H.  Graves,  deceased,  which  is  to  take  place  at  the 
Napa  race  track  to-day,  should  be  well  attended,  for  there  are 
splendid  representatives  of  the  following  famous  stallions  to 
be  sold  there  that  are  destined  to  become  famous  as  track  and 
road  horses:  Nutwood,  2:1S$ ;  Dexter  Prince;  Dawn,  2:18ij  ; 
JamesMadison,2:17ii  ;  Sidney, 2:193  ;  Melvar, 2:22;  Azmoor, 
2:20A;  George  Washington,  2:20;  Wilkesdale,  2:29,  and 
Anteeo,  2:16^.  These  are  out  of  grandly-bred  mares  that 
were  carefully  selected  by  Mr.  Graves  to  be  used  as  a  founda- 
tion for  the  stock  which  he  desired  to  have  on  his  stock  farm. 
All  of  the  youngsters  are  trained  and  capable  of  showing 
speed,  while  Anna  Belle,  2:274,  by  Dawn,  would  make  a 
splendid  campaigner  if  taken  in  hand  by  a  competent  trainer. 
The  three-year-old  Dexter  Prince  colt  Prince  Royal  (brother 
to  Alejandre,  2:15})  is  a  hummer,  and  if  worked  will  be  faster 
than  any  Dexter  Prince  ever  handled.  He  is  fit  to  be  placed 
anywhere.  Nutwood  Boy  (trial  2:28)  is  a  splendid  individual, 
and  should  be  a  treasure  to  his  purchaser.  Everyone  should 
attend  this  sale.  Visitors  from  this  city  can  return  on  the 
■i  v.  m.  train. 


In  the  November  number  of  Wallace's  Monthly  was  quite 
a  long  article  relative  to  the  noted  stallion  Harjld,  which 
died  in  October  at  Woodburn.  Immediately  after  announc- 
ing the  fact  of  bis  death,  his  pedigree  was  given,  including 
his  second  dam,  which,  it  is  there  stated,  was  bv  imported 
Bellfounder,  for  whi:ih  there  is  no  foundation  whatever,  as, 
though  there  was  at  one  time  such  a  claim,  it  was  long  ago 
discovered  to  be  without  foundation,  and  was  dropped  from 
the  Wallace  publications  under  the  former  regime,  and  also 
from  the  Woodburn  catalogues,  as  well  as  from  the  catalogues 
of  all  others  familiar  with  the  facts,  where  this  pedigree 
appears. 

There  was  nothing  in  the  appearance  or  history  of  the 
chestnut  mare,  bred  somewhere  in  central  or  western  New 
York,  to  indicate  that  she  was  a  Bellfounder,  which  claim  it 
has  been  clearly  ascertained  was  not  made  at  the  time  she 
was  purchased  by  Mr.  Thome,  or  when  sold  by  him  to  Mr. 
Blakesley,  but  was  tacked  on  afterwards.  It  is  well  known 
that  the  get  of  Bellfounder  were  very  uniformly  bays,  and 
the  claimjhas  been  repeatedly  made  of  him,  as  of  Hamble- 
tonian,  that  he  never  sired  a  chestnut.  While  that  is  not 
absolutely  the  case,  the  fact  of  this  color  so  very  rarely 
appearing  in  his  get  or  near  descendants  would,  of  itself,  be 
of  rather  more  importance  than  color  usually  is  as  evidence 
of  the  correctness  or  incorrectness  of  a  pedigree. 

In  the  first  volume  of  the  Monthly  appears  the  following 
paragraph  bearing  upon  this  subject: 

"  Hark  Comstock  has  investigated  the  matter  with  great 
care  and  in  person,  and  the  history  in  question  appears  to  be 
in  substance  as  follows  :  Mr.  William  Thome,  of  Central  Val- 
ley, Orange  County,  N.  Y.,  bought  a  bob-tailed  chestnut  mare 
along  with  some  cows  that  were  brought  from  central  or 
Western  New  YTork,  and  nothing  was  known  or  said  of  the 
mare's  pedigree.  Mr.  Thome  sold  her  to  James  H.  Blakesley 
of  Salisbury,  in  the  same  county,  who  kept  her  many  years, 
and  bred  the  Abdallah  filly,  Enchantress,  from  her.  We  must, 
therefore,  strike  off  the  Bellfounder  cross  from  the  pedigree 
of  this  distinguished  family." 

Enchantress  produced  only  four  foals,  namely,  Harold, 
Lakeland  Abdallah,  Black  Maria  (2:30$),  also  a  producer  and 
a  filly  which  was  sold  to  Mr.  H.  T.  Helm  of  Chicago,  but  we 
think  died  soon  after  without  produce.  "  Hars  Comstock  " 
was  always  a  great  admirer  of  Hambletonian,  and  has  always 
insisted  that  Harold  more  closely  resembled  his  distinguished 
sire  than  any  other  of  his  noted  sons.  The  following  interest- 
ing facts  about  Enchantress  are  from  Charles  S.  Dole,  the 
breeder  of  Harold  : 

"Enchantress,  the  dam  of  Harold  and  Lakeland  Abdallah, 
was  by  Abdallah,  sire  of  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian,  dam  a 
chestnut  mare,  which  was  held  in  good  repute  by  those  who 
knew  her.  The  claim  as  made  by  me  to  Mr.  J.  W.  Wilson, 
of  whom  I  bought  Enchantress,  that  her  dam  was  by  im- 
ported Bellfounder,  cannot  be  substantiated,  though  no  doubt 
Mr.  Wilson  conscientiously  entertained  a  belief  to  this  effect. 
Before  buying  the  mare  I  visited  the  liveryman  in  Brooklyn, 
of  whom  Mr.  Wilson  had  obtained  her,  and  as  I  had  then  not 
seen  Enchantress,!  asked  the  liverman  to  show  me  something 
that  resembled  her.  This  he  did,  as  far  as  height  only  was 
concerned. 

I  then  asked  if  he  knew  of  any  larger  Abdallah  mares.  He 
named  two,  upon  which  I  asked  after  the  qualities  of  En- 
chantress. He  stated  that  Enchantress,  or  Abby,  as  she  was 
then  named,  was  never  trained  for  speed,  but  could  trot  in 
about  2:40.  In  regard  to  her  endurance,  he  said  that  a  man 
came  to  his  stable  one  night,  desiring  to  go  to  a  point  on  the 
coast  sixty-one  miles  away,  and  anxious  to  reach  there  in  the 
shortest  possible  time. 

The  party  started  out  with  a  double  team,  consisting  of 
Enchantress  and  another  good  one,  after  11  o'clock  at  night, 
arriving  at  their  destination  20  minutes  past  four,  thus  ac- 
complishing the  feat  in  five  hours  and  20  minutes,and  having 
rested  but  20  minutes  during  that  time.  Enchantress,  he 
said,  seemed  none  the  worse  for  the  journey,  while  the  other 
horse  which  accompanied  her  with  difficulty  survived. 

"  Enchantress,  when  I  first  saw  her,  I  found  not  very  large, 
probably  fifteen  hands  high,  but  very  lengthy,  with  a  deep, 
full  chest,  a  good-sized  shoulder  running  well  back,  sharp  at 
the  withers,  coupling  well  back,  a  rather  long  neck  and  one 
of  the  handsomest  as  well  as  one  of  the  gamest-looking  heads 
I  have  ever  seen.  She  carried  her  long,  slim  ears  nicely,  her 
jaws  were  well  spread,  and  she  had  a  large,  prominent  and 
pleasant  hazel  eye,  a  light  tail,  carried  well  up,  large,  thin 
nostrils,  with  limbs  and  feet  of  sieel.  After  producing  Harold, 
Lakeland  Abdallah,  Black  Maria  and  another  filly  which  I 
sold  to  Mr.  Helm,  the  old  black  mare  became  feeble — so 
much  so  that  the  filly  had  to  be  raised  on  cow's  milk.  I  kept 
her  during  the  winter,  hoping  that  she  would  improve  on  the 
grass  in  the  spring,  but  fearing  the  disease  would  develop  in- 
to glanders  my  man  advised  that  she  be  killed,  to  which  I  re- 
luctantly consented. 

"  The  strength  of  four  or  five  men  was  required  to  lift  her 
on  her  feet,  but  this  accomplished,  more  was  not  necessary, 
as  she  was  not  only  able  to  retain  her  balance,  but  actually 
walked  to  the  place  of  execution,  on  a  distant  part  of  the 
farm,  faster  than  the  man  who  was  leading  her  was  able  to 
follow,  dragging  him  by  the  bit.  Mr.  Wilson,  before  I  saw 
the  mare,  told  me  she  had  as  handsome  a  head  as  Flora  Tem- 
ple, and  she  certainly  had  a  handsome  one,  very  wide  between 
the  eyes,  with  a  large  development  of  brain  and  a  very  blood- 
like ear;  I  see  the  same  again  in  Maud  S. 

"There  are  quite  a  number  of  chestnuts  among  the  get  of 
both  Harold  and  Lakeland  Abdallah,  and  it  is  possible  that 
the  grandam  of  Harold  had  as  much  to  do  with  the  color  of 
Maud  S.  as  did  'old  '  Boston,  and  that  Enchantress  was  as 
fully  represented  in  the  shaping  of  the  ear  and  in  the  incli- 
nation and  staying  powers  of  the  trot  as  any  thoroughbred 
ancestor  of  Maud  S.  has  on  the  maternal  side.  Enchantress's 
performance  of  61  miles  in  five  hours'  travel  on  such  a  road 
in  the  dead  of  night  would,  I  think,  trouble  any  thorough- 
bred thu6  harnessed." — Horse  Breeder. 

Owner  Sam  Hildreth  and  Bookmaker  W.  S.  Dunford  have 
been  ruled  off  for  life  at  East  St.  Louis.  Hildreth  started  his 
Eastern  gelding  Climax,  and  the  public  took  kindly  to  his 
chances  at  4  to  5.  Dun  ford's  slate'read  "0  to  5  Climax."  and 
about  $750  of  the  unwary's  shekels  poured  into  his  cash  box. 
Duriug  the  race  Corbley,  who  rode,  dropped  his  whip,  and 
the  gelding,  pulled  almost  to  a  standstill,  finished  third. 
Dunford's  sheet  showed  that  he  knew  the  horse  was  dead, and 
in  the  investigation  tbat  followed  he  and  Hildreth  were  ruled 
off,  while  Corbley  received  a  severe  reprimand.

LONGFELLOW'S     BENT     PLATE. 


Good  start.    Won  easily.    Winner,  W.  J.  Howard's  b  m,  by  Jocko-Naomi.    Trained  by  owner. 


How  the  Great   Son  of  Leamington 
Lost  the  Saratoga  Cup. 

While  speed  is  the  great  desideratum  in  the 
race  horse  nowadays,  a  score  of  years  ago  the 
champions  of  that  day  had  different  conditions 
to  contend  against.  Stamina  as  well  as  speed 
was  sought  afier  by  turfman,  and  the  fleshy 
short-coursed  sprinter  of  to-day  would  have 
cut  little  figure  in  long  distance  racing.  Not 
but  what  the  majority  of  our  race  horses  can 
be  trained  to  stay  over  longer  courses  if  neces- 
sary. There  are  yet  probably  as  stout  horses 
on  the  American  turf  as  raced  a  decade  ago, 
but  the  methods  of  racing  are  now  so  different, 
with  training  to  correspond,  that  the  latent 
stamina  in  many  of  our  best  performers  is  not 
brought  out. 

And  as  turfmen  the  world  over,  of  any  day 
or  time,  admire  gameness  in  the  race  horse 
even  more  than  flashy  qualities  of  speed,  a  few 
incidents  of  the  stallion  and  sire,  Longfellow, 
may  prove  of  interest  in  connection  with  his 
recent  death  in  Kentucky  a  ^ew  days  ago,  for 
Longfellow  was  one  of  the  gamest  horses  ever 
seen,  as  well  as  the  most  speedy.  He  ran  the 
last  six  furlongs  of  his  race  .vith  Harry  Bas- 
sett, in  the  Saratoga  Cup,  with  one  of  his  rac- 
ing plates  doubled  up  under  his  foot,  while, 
as  to  his  speed,  his  race  for  the  same  stake  the 
year  before,  with  Kingfisher,  showed  him  run 
the  first  -six  furlongs  in  1:02}  and  the  first 
mile  in  1:40— the  first  time  that  notch  had 
ever  been  reached  up  to  that  day. 

In  the  spring  of  1872  the  entries  for  the 
Monmouth  and  Saratoga  Oupsincluded  among 
other  celebrities  of  the  day  the  names  of 
Longfellow  and  Harry  Bassett,  the  latter  as  a 
three-year-old  having  in  1871  swept  all  before 
him.  While  there  were  other  well-known 
horses  iu  these  great  races,  the  fame  of  the 
two  named  so  far  overshadowed  the  others 
that  by  common  consent  the  pair  were  consid- 
ered to  have  the  issue  between  them.  It  was 
well  known  that  John  Harper  was  certain  to 
bring  the  mighty  brown  East  again  to  win 
fresh  laurels  before  retiring  him,  while  as  for 
Harry  Bassett  he  looked  to  so  far  outclass  any 
of  the  other  all-aged  division  in  the  East  that, 
with  Longfellow  out  of  the  way,  his  path 
would  be  a  clear  one. 

As  time  wore  on  books  were  opened  on  the 
Monmouth  Cup  by  Mr.  James  E.  Kelly,  of 
this  city,  who  had  the  year  before  also  "laid 
ante-post  prices  on  the  same  race,  about  the 
first  bookmaking  Eastern  racegoers  had  ever 
seen  on  an  American  race  course.  And  as  the 
openiug  of  Monmouth  drew  nigh  the  depart- 
ure of  Longfellow  for  the  East  and  his  pro- 
gress en  route  were  matters  of  public  interest. 
Longfellow  after  winning  his  first  race  of 
that  year  (1872)  from  Metal  la  and  Aureola  at 
Lexington,  a  mile  and  a  half,  was  sent  East 
about  the  middle  of  June.  He  had  a  tri- 
umphal ovation  on  his  progress  across  country 
seldom  awarded  two-legged  celebrities,  let 
alone  a  horse.  His  car  bore  a  banner  on  each  side 
with  the  legend  inscribed  thereon :  "  Long- 
fellow on  his  way  to  LoDg  Branch  to  meet  his 
friend,  Harry  Bassett."  On  Longfellow's  arri- 
val at  Monmouth  Park  he  was  visited  bv 
many  turfmen,  who  pronounced  him  a  much 
better  horse  than  he  was  a  year  ago. 

Among  these  visitors  was  W.  R.  Baboock, 
the  same  "Bab"  of  to-day  of  chowder  fame, 
but  then  owner  of  Helmbold,  who  had  beaten 
Longfellow  at  Saratoga  the  summer  before  at 
four  miles.  But  long  before  the  day  of  the 
Longfellow-Basse tt  race  drew  nigh  "Bab,"  on 
the  quiet,  announced  to  his  closest  friends  that 
he  "did  not  want  any  more  of  that  thar  brown 
horse.  He  had  caught  him  once  when  he  was 
off  and  beaten  him,  but  he  never  expected  to 
do  so  again,"  and  so  Helmbold  was  scratched. 
Bassett  was  also  in  good  shape  for  the 
eventful  day,  the  2nd  of  July,  and  as  he  was 
the  Eastern  champion  he  had  more  friends,  if 
anything,  than  the  Western  wonder.  Ex- 
tremely hot  weather  failed  to  keep  the  multi- 
tude away  from  the  great  race,  and  John 
Chamberlin,  the  then  owner  and  manager  of 
Monmouth  Park, had  the  pleasure  of  seeing 
his  track  filled  with  the  largest  crowd  ever 
assembled  on  a  metropolitan  race  course  since 
"befoh  de  wall."  The  attendance  was  vari- 
ously estimated  at  from  25,000  to  30,000  per- 
sons, and  personal  observation  inclines  me 
toward  the  latter  estimate.  I  know  it  was  the 
largest  crowd  I  had  c  ver  seen  on  a  race  course 
up  to  that  date,  and  some  pretty  large  ones, 
from  the  Dexter-Ethan  Allen  match  in  1S65 
to  the  opening  of  Jerome  Park  a  year  later 
had  come  under  my  observation. 

The  transit  from  this  city  was  entirely  by 
the  Bay  route  to  Sandy  Hook,  and  thence  by 
the  New  Jersey  Southern  Railway  to  the 
track.  Neither  the  Central  or  Pennsylvania 
roads  ran  to  the  course,  and  all  visitors  from 
this  city  had  to  go  by  Sandy  Hook,  as  noted. 
Consequently  the  task  of  transporting  such  a 
vast  crowd  to  the  boats  was  an  arduous  one. 
The  progress  down,  however,  was  made  at  a 
fairly  good  rate.  Of  the  trip  home  more  will 
be  told  later. 

The  preliminaries  of  the  cup  race  languidly 
interested  the  vast  crowd,  although  a  heat  race, 
run  as  the  second  on  the  card,  was  taken  as  an 
indication  by  many  as  to  bow  the  great  event 
would  turn  out.  Both  Bassett  and  Longfellow 
had  stable  companions  in  this  event,  ridden  by 
the  same  jockeys  as  were  to  ride  the  two  cracks. 
Hence,  when  John  Harper's  fast  little  brown 
horse  Lyttleton,  ridden  by  Sample,  defeated  in 


three  heats  D.  J.  Bannatyne'sLochiel,  ridden 
by  Hennessey  ;  D.  McDaniel's  Abd-El-Koree, 
ridden  by  Rowe ;  J.  (x.  K.  Lawrence's  Shy- 
lock,  ridden  by  W.  Donohue,  with  three  other 
horses,  there  was  a  jubilant  fe3ling  among  the 
Kentuckians  as  to  the  bearing  it  had  on  the 
big  event  And  per  contra  some  of  Bassett's 
friends  weakened. 

The  auction  selling  on  the  big  match  was 
very  large.  Auctioneer  Robert  Underwood, 
better  known  as  "Doc"  Underwood,  and  his 
clerk,  James  McGowau,  were  the  custodians 
of  an  amount  before  the  race  estimated  at  over 
$100,000.  The  pools  were  sold  as  fast  as  "Bob" 
Underwood  could  knock  them  down,  and  of 
large  amounts.  As  high  as  $3,000  and  $4,000. 
Bassett  was  the  favorite. 

One  of  the  last  that  I  remember  noting  was 
one  in  which  Henry  Bassett  brought  $1,800 
and  Longfellow  51,200.  John  Morrissey  took 
the  Bassett  end  and  Samuel  A.  Hatch  of  New 
Orleans  the  Longfellow  end.  A  significant 
note  on  this  last  pool  is  pertinent  here.  Both 
buyers,  Morrissey  and  Hatch,  are  dead.  So  is 
the  seller  of  the  pool,  "Doc"  Underwood. 
Both  horses  are  dead  and  also  both  owners. 
The  only  living  actors  in  the  affair,  as  far  as 
known,  that  are  alive,  are  Uncle  "Jim"  Mc- 
Gowan,  Jimmy  Rowe  and  perhaps  Jockey 
Sample,the  ebony-colored  lad  who  rode  Long- 
fellow. If  he  has  joined  the  great  majority  it 
has  slipped  my  memory.  As  for  "Jimmie," 
now  Starter  Rowe,  he  is  very  much  alive  if 
one  looks  at  the  burly  individual  of  now  and 
the  one  hundred-pound  lad  of  then. 

Space,  however,  forbids  any  further  wander- 
ing from  the  subject  before  me.  The  colored 
jockey,  Sample,  in  the  Harper  orange  and 
crimson  cap,  rode  Longfellow  at  114  pounds, 
while  Rowe,  wearing  the  McDaniel  red  and 
blue,  the  same  as  the  Dwyer  colors  of  to  day, 
scaled  108  pounds  as  the  pilot  of  Harry  Bas- 
sett. 

The  two  horses,  when  paraded  before  the 
cheering  thousands  on  their  way  to  the  p^st 
over  at  the  half-mile  pole,  each  looking  the 
picture  of  condition,  Longfellow,  a  mighty 
brown,  of  a  quiet,  docile,  business-like  de- 
meanor, was  a  great  contrast  to  the  big-headed, 
peacocky,  nervous  Bassett,  the  latter  all  fire 
and  movement — as  ready  to  savage  an  at- 
tendant as  to  kick  an  unlucky  bystander  who 
might  venture  too  near  his  unlucky  heels. 

But  soon  the  two  horses  were  at  the  post 
across  the  track,  and  they  got  away  at  the  tap 
of  the  drum  well  together.  Bassett,  on  the 
rails,  soon  forged  ahead,  however,  and  at  the 
stand  he  led  a  length,  both  horses  going  well 
under  a  pull.  At  the  turn,  however,  Long- 
fellow closed  up  to  Bassett's  saddle,  and  the 
race  back  to  the  starting  point  at  the  half-mile 
pole  saw  Bassett  only  a  neck  ahead,  in  1:44 
for  the  mile.  This  was  a  stiff  pace  for  a  two 
mile  and  a  half  race,  and  the  old-timers  pres- 
ent shook  their  heads,  and  said  that  one  or  the 
other  must  soon  weaken.  And  they  were 
right.  One  did  weaken,  but  that  one  was  not 
the  Western  horse. 

Rounding  the  far  turn  Longfellow  showed 
his  head  in  front  of  Bassett,  but  the  latter  on 
the  rails  drew  up  even  again  and  led  into  the 
stretch — the  mile  and  a  quarter  in  2:09  J.  This 
was  a  gruelling  pace,  with  the  race  only  half 
over,  and  it  cooked  Bassett's  goose.  He  held 
on  in  the  lead  to  the  last  furlong  pole,  but 
then  a  mighty  shoutarose  as  Longfellow  drew 
up  even,  and  in  the  run  to  the  stand  enoing  a 
mile  and  a  half,in  2:37f,  drew  out  a  length  in 
front  of  Bassett.     This  settled  the  latter. 

Once  he  was  headed  and  his  opponent  drew 
away  Bassett  refused  to  try  any  further.  A 
game  horse  would  have  struggled  uo.  But  as 
Rowe  gave  him  gad  and  steel  his  tail  flew  up 
in  response,  and  he  was  a  beaten  horse. 
Jockey  Sample  ealloped  the  last  mile,  with 
Longfellow  romping  along,  and  in  a  pull,  tak- 
ing it  in  1:561,  and  the  dash  in  4:34.  Bassett 
was  beaten  sixty  yards  and  pulled  up  a  very 
much  distresed  horse.  Had  Longfellow  been 
pushed  he  could  have  beaten  all  American 
records  that  day  from  a  mile  and  three-quart- 
ers up.  The  delays  on  the  homeward  journey 
were  something  to  remember,  thousands  oi 
people  being  between  five  and  six  hours  in 
reaching  the  city. 

Two  days  afterwards  old  John  Harper  fool- 
ishly pulled  Longfellow  out  for  a  mile  heat, 
three  in  five  race.  He  won  in  straight  heats, 
but  Susan  Ann  forced  him  out  the  third  heat 
in  1:43§,  and  Longfellow  pulled  up  a  bit  lame. 
This  same  mare,  Susan  Ann,  afterwards  threw 
that  great  mare,  Thora,  to  Longfellow. 

The  next  scene  on  the  arena  was  at  Sara- 
toga, just  two  weeks  after  the  Monmouth  Cup 
was  run.  The  McDaniel  party  had  determined 
to  have  another  trial  at  Longfellow,  and  while 
the  result  of  their, meeting  in  the  Saratoga 
Cup  looked  a  foregone  conclusion  iu  favor  of 
Longfellow,  there  was  a  great  crowd  at  the 
track  on  Union  avenue.  Both  horses  looked 
in  the  pink  of  condition  and  had  up  the  same 
jockeys  and  same  weights  as  ruled  at  Mon- 
mouth. Betting,  however,  beguu  at  3  to  1  on, 
and  closed  at  4  to  1  on,  on  Longfellow.  The 
last  pool  sold  was  Longfellow,  $1,000  ;  Harrv 
Bassett,  $200 ;  Defender,  $20. 

The  late  John  Morrissey  had  been  nearly 
run  over  by  a  two-year-old  in  the  first  race  of 
the  day,  through  his  habit  of  standing  inside 
the  track  proper,  near  the  outer  rails.  A  two- 
year-old  in  the  McDaniel  stable — I  think  it 
was  Springbok — rushed  up  on  the  outside  rails 
an  1  only  missed  Morrissey  by  a  few  inches. 
After  the  excitement  created  had  died  away 
the  Cup  race  was  called  up.   John  Morrissey 's

Defender  also  ran,  but  his  part  id  the  race 
was  to  act  as  a  whipper-in  throughout. 

In  the  race  Longfellow,  as  they  broke  away, 
grabbed  himself  on  the  quarter  of  the  near 
fore  foot.  At  least  that  is  the  testimony  jof 
his  jockey.  And  it  is  very  likely  that  in  so 
doing  he  twisted  the  plate,  which, later  in  the 
race,  doubled  .up  under  his  foot.  From  tlie 
start  Bassett' — as  was  his  only  hope— forced 
the  pae*1.  He  led  Longfellow  a  length  the 
first  mile  in  1:45 J,  and  at  the  stand,  2:11  fr,  the 
two  horses  were  lapped.  A  mile  more  to  go, 
however,  saw  the  two  continue  on  to  the  quar- 
ter pole,  where  Longfellow,  without  any  ap- 
parent reason,  was  seen  to  falter  and  drop 
back  a  length. 

Anyone  could  see  at  a  glance  that  something 
had  happened,  but  as  the  jockey  raised  his 
whip  Longfellow,  with  a  game  effort,  increased 
his  pace  and  again  lapped  Bassett.  Down  the 
backstretch  they  ran  half  a  length  apart,  aDd 
now  both  were  being  ridden.  At  the  lower 
turn  Longfellow  drew  up  to  the  other's  neck, 
and  they  dashed  by  the  three-quarters  in  3:30 
for  the  two  miles  nearly  even,  but  in  ihe 
straight  Bassett,  on  the  rails,  drew  ahead  inch 
by  inch,  and  with  both  under  severe  punish- 
ment all  the  way  home  Bassett  beat  Longfel- 
low a  scant  length  in  3:59  for  the  two  miles 
and  a  quarter. 

But  when  Longfellow  was  pulled  up  near 
the  turn  it  was  at  once  seen  that  something 
had  happened  to  him.  He  lurched  forward 
60  as  nearly  to  fall  on  his  knees  and  as  his 
jockey  got  off  and  led  him  back  to  the  scales 
he  was  seen  to  be  literally  on  three  legs.  His 
near  forefoot  was  disabled  and  he  could  hardly 
be  got  back  to  the  stand.  His  plate  had  twisted 
up  under  him  at  the  quarter  pole  when  he 
faltered,  and  he  had  run  the  last  three-quart- 
ers of  a  mile  with  the  cruel  iron  jabbing  into 
the  sole  of  his  foot. 

That  Longfellow  gamely  kept  on  undersuch 
circumstances  stamped  him  as  about  the  gam- 
est  horse  that  ever  stood  on  iron.  Had  the 
accident  not  occurred,  hVwould  have  beaten 
Harry  Bassett  to  a  certainty.  As  it  was,  he  ran 
the  two  miles  in  3:60,  and  was  beaten  only  a 
length  in  3:59.  A  visit  to  the  great  horse,  in 
his  box,  after  the  race,  revealed  Longfellow 
holding  up  the  injured  member,  and  looking 
at  visitors  as  if  to  ask  sympathy  in  his  misfor- 
tune. As  for  his  venerable  owner,  John  Har- 
per, he  was  in  tears.  The  horse  was  taken 
home  when  able  to  travel,  and  never  ran  an- 
other race.  At  the  stud  he  has  made  a  name 
as  imperishable  as  will  be  the  memory  of  his 
game  race  on  three  legs  for  the  Saratoga  Cup.

McCafferty  Touched  Them  Up. 


Cincinnati,  Jan.  11 — A  commissioner  for 
Owner,  Trainer  and  Jockey  McCafferty  made 
a  wholesale  raid  on  theCovingtOD  poolrooms 
Monday.  Watterson,  a  starter  in  the  fifth 
race  at  New  Orleans,  was  the  animal  used  for 
the  big  coup.  The  track  price  against  Wat- 
terson was  3  to  1.  Just  after  the  price  was 
posted  a  pair  of  strangers  appeared  ot  one  of 
the  windows  at  Lunonton's  and  offered  $100 
on  Wattersoo.  It  was  taken.  One  of  the  men 
had  a  big  wad  of  bills  in  his  hands.  He  was 
handling  it.  gingerly,  as  though  he  feared  if  he 
made  a  big  bet  the  odds  would  be  cut.  Charlie 
Rollinger  looked  out  of  the  window  and  said  : 

"I'll  take  $1,000  more  of  your  money  at 
that  price." 

The  money  was  passed  in. 

At  Payne  &  Co.'s  $500  was  taken  on  Wat- 
terson, and  at  the  Suburban,  which  is  also  the 
property  of  Payne  &  Co.,  a  similar  amount 
was  taken.  Sharp  &  Co.  also  got  §500  of  tbe 
McCafferty  money,  while  it  was  also  played  at 
the  White  House.  Then  the  local  bettors 
trailed  in  behind  the  strangers,  and  for  a  few 
minutes  Watterson  was  all  the  rage.  He  was 
played  everywhere.  In  the  description  of 
the  race  Watterson  did  not  get  a  call  until  the 
last  one.  Then  the  caller  cried:  "Close 
finish.  Watterson  by  a  short  nose !  "  It  is  esti- 
mated that  the  commissioners  for  McCafferty 
cleaned  up  $10,000.  It  was  the  worst  shock 
the  over-the-river  poolrooms  have  had  in  a 
long  time. 


Quite  a  good  story  is  told  on  that  genia 
German,  Barney  Schreiber,  and  his  sister, 
who  is  the  very  picture  of  her  lucky  brother. 
It  was  one  day  at  the  track  where  Barney  was 
running  his  horse,  that  his  sister  made  her 
appearance  and  bet  upon  a  horse  in  a  race 
that  her  big  brother  had  entered,  and  as  the 
latter  won  Barney  ran  to  the  stand  where  bis 
sister  was  to  see  how  much  more  money  was 
in  the  family.  To  his  surprise  his  sister  ex- 
claimed: "Barney,  Barney,  I  lost  on  that 
other  horse,  for  your  horse  won."  "  Oh,1'  said 
Barney,  *'  but  didn't  you  know  better  than  to 
bet  on  any  other  horse  but  mine?"  as  if  his 
was  the  only  one  that  could  win.  "  Ob,  but  I 
did  not  know  you  were  going  to  win."  As 
this  conversation  was  carried  on  in  German, 
few  understood  what  was  being  said,  but  those 
who  did  understand  it  all  enjoyed  it  hugely.

The  February  Congress. 

The  last  regular  Congress  of  the  National 
Trotting  Association  empowered  the  President 
to  select  the  place  for  the  Congress  of  1894. 
The  tinje  is  fixed  by  by-law.  There  was  some 
talk  of  going  to  San  Francisco,  but  owing  to 
the  disturbed  business  condition  of  the  coun- 
try this  was  finally  decided  to  be  inexpedient. 
President  Johnston,  after  looking  over  the 
field  and  carefully  weighing  the  matter,  has 
named  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel  in  this  city, 
aod  a  formal  notice  has  been  sent  to  members 
to  meet  there  at  2  p.  m.  on  Wednesday,  Feb- 
ruary 14th.  It  will  be  the  sixteenth  Congress 
of  the  National  Trotting  Association,  and  it  is 
to  be  hoped  that  each  member  will  send  a  del- 
gate.  If  it  does  not  do  so,  it  should  take  the 
trouble  to  lodge  its  prosy  in  hands  that  will 
not  abuse  it.  The  professional  ax-grinders 
and  hobby  riders  who"  have  nothing  substan- 
tial at  stake  and  nothing  to  lose  are  not 
the  kind  of  men  to  be  intrusted  with 
proxies  simply  because  they  ask  for  them. 
The  track  and  breeding  interests  of  the 
country  are  not  in  a  condition  to  be  trifled 
with.  The  bestjudgment,  based  upon  experi- 
ence, is  needed  at  this  juncture.  We  want  to 
adjust  the  machinery  of  the  turf  so  that  it  will 
fill  the  public  mind  with  confidence  and  build 
np  rather  than  depreciate  values.  It  is  not  a 
time  for  the  play  of  vagrant  fiancies,  but  for 
the  exercise  of  wisdom.  The  people  who 
speak  first  and  then  sit  down  and  try  to  think 
swell  the  notes  of  the  official  stenographer 
without  pointing  the  way  to  a  brighter  future. 
We  can  spare  them  from  the  floor  of  the  Con- 
gress. The  millions  of  dollars  invested  in 
tracks  and  breeding  farms  appeal  to  the  ma- 
ture thought  of  the  National  Trotting  Associ- 
ation, and  members  should  see  to  it  that  fitting 
response  is  given  to  tbe  appeal.  Let  us  have 
a  congress  of  delegates  instead  of  proxies. 
The  amendments  to  the  rules  proposed  by  the 
Conference  Committee  of  March  13,  1893, 
will  come  up  for  Consideration,  and  as 
they  have  the  sanction  and  support 
of  men  who  were  at  the  birth 
of  the  National  Trotting  Association,  and 
who  have  stood  by  it  in  storm  and  sun- 
shine, they  should  be  discussed  in  a  spirit  of 
broad  intelligence.  It  is  agreed  by  thoughtful 
minds  that  the  best  interests  of  the  trotting 
turf  will  be  promoted  by  one  set  of  rules,  even 
if  administered  by  two  or  more  patent  so- 
cieties. There  will  be  less  confusion,  less  laxity 
in  government,  and  the  force  of  discipline 
will  be  felt  from  ocean  to  ocean.  A  fine  im- 
posed by  a  track  in  (membership  with  the 
National  Trotting  Association  will  mean  more 
than  it  does  now  when  it  shall  be  recognized 
and  enforced  by  tbe  American  Trotting  Asso- 
ciation, and  vice  versa.  It  will  be  impossible 
for  the  oftender  to  escape.  Collection  will  be 
as  certain,  as  absolute  as  the  rising  of  the 
Bun.  Enst  and  West  breeders  are  in- 
terested in  tracks,  and  they  can  make  or  mar 
a  meeting.  As  registration  is  based  upon  rec- 
ords, their  demand  that  every  possible  safe- 
guard shall  be  thrown  arouud  records  is  but 
reasonable  and  natural.  A  broader  and 
stronger  sweep  will  be  given  to  the  law  by 
making  it  acceptable  to  those  who  are  en- 
gaged in  breed:ng  the  standard  horse.  The 
American  Trotting  Register  Association  has 
formally  pledged  itself  to  accept  records  made 
on  National  and  American  tracks  under  con- 
ditions that  liberal  and  experienced  minds 
have  pronounced  wise  and  necessary.  The 
American  Trotting  Register  Association  has 
accepted  these  conditions  without  hesitation 
or  cavil,  and  the  National  Trotting  Associa- 
tion should  do  the  same.  Just  think  of  how 
grand  and  imposing  that  law  will  be  which  is 
administered  by,  and  commands  the  loyalty 
of  three  powerful  organizations.  The  ap- 
proaching February  congress  is  a  very  impor- 
tant one,  and  for  this  rerson  it  should  be  a 
congress  of  delegates  filled  with  a  spirit  of  In- 
telligence instead  of  an  aggregation  of  proxies 
steeped  in  an  atmosphere  of  littleness  and 
prejudice. — Turf,  Field  and  Farm.

don. 
Longfellow  was  a  son  of  imp.  Leamington  and  Nan* 
lura,  by  Brawner's  Eclipse. 

In  this  stallion  is  combined  tbe  most  fashionable 
blood  of  imp.  Leamington  and  imp.  Great  Tom, 
sires  ot  some  of  the  greatest  racehorses  America  has 
had,  aud  progenitors  of  winners  up  to  the  present  day. 
Trinket,  the  dam  of  this  horse,  is  one  of  the  most 
consistent  broodmares  of  the  present  time.  All  her 
colts  have  been  winners.  Tocor,  Linlithgow  and  West 
Windareall  winners,  and  all  from  Trinket.  She  came 
from  old  Bobinet,  also  a  producer  of  winners,  and  by 
that  great  sire  of  broodmares,  Great  Tom,  he  by  King 
Tom  (sire  of  Phaeton,  King  Ban  and  King  Ernest), 
out  of  Woodcraft,  by  Voltigeur  (sire  of  imp.  Billet). 
Fellowcharm  comes  from  a  great  Tennessee  racing 
family,  and  one  from  which  have  come  a  host  of  first- 
class  horses,  namely :  Talma,  Gazelle,  Duette,  Gamma, 
Tyrant,  Mollie  McCarty,  Hidalgo,  Joe  Hooker,  Patrol, 
Telle  Doe,  Shannon,  Mozelle,  Eulogy,  Bona  Fide,  Alta, 
Crickmore  and  others.  This  combination  of  blood 
cannot  be  outclassed  In  any  country,  and  isjust  what  is 
producing  winners  every  year. 

This  horse  showed  to  be  very  fast  beiore  he  let  down 
iua  front  ankle  joint,  caused  by  a  wrench,  by  reason  of 
which  his  racing  career  was  short.  Iu  his  two-year-old 
engagement  he  was  forced  to  meet  tbe  famous  Palo 
Alto  colts,  Racine  and  Flambeau,  and  showed  in  the 
California  Annual  Stake  one  mile,  at  the  Stale  Fair  of 
1889  to  be  possessed  of  great  staying  qualities  and 
speed.  He  lapped  Flambeau  out  in  this  race  In  1:43, 
over  a  heavy  track.  Early  in  his  three-year-old  form 
he  met  with  Ids  accident. 

To  breeders  who  are  seeking  the  Longfellow  strain 
we  would  recommend  the  breeding  ot  this  colt  and  his 
use  as  a  sire.  His  flrsf  colts  were  sold  last  year  as  year- 
lings, and  The  Mallard,  the  first  one  trained,  is  a  win- 
ner, 

Longfellow's  sons  are  proving  their  great  worth  in 
the  stud,  The  Bard  being  the  sire  of  Gallilee  and  other 
winners  last  season,  while  Long  Taw  Is  sire  ot  the  great 
stake-winner,  Don  Alonzo.  Many  others  might  be 
mentioned.

grand  young  horse,  address,

weighs  about  1050  pounds. 
Handsome  mahogany  bay  in

metrical in  con  fo rtuation,  well 
boned  and  muscled ;  stylish,  of 
good  disposition,  remarkably 
Intelligent  and  a  pure  gailed 
trotter.  As  a  Lhree-year-old  he 
made  a  record  ot  2:32%  in  a 
walk-over  at  Fresno.  As  a 
four-year  old,  in  1S93,  he  was 
driven  a  half  in  1*7%,  shortly 
after  which  he  met  with  ah 
accident  that  threw  him  out  of

ST.    SAVIOUR,       IMP.    GREENBACK       AND      OWAS! 


St.  SAVIOUR. 

ST.  SAVIOUR  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance') 
is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIB,  and  the  good  performer, 
DE  BRACT.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Slakes,  \%  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Raritan  States,  1}$  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Ernest-Mimlcoltand  fourothersin  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehose,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eolist  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savi  ur'ssire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  immortal  Leaming- 
ton, sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Se  sation. 
St.  Saviour  has  demonstrated  his  worth  at  the  stud,  with  compar- 
atively limited  opportunities,  and  owners  of  well-bred  mares  take 
no  chances  in  breeding  to  such  a  tried  race  ihorse  and  sire. 

St.  SAVIOUR'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satanella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shaok,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
bigh-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
"Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (.handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  field  of 
fourteen  good  ones ;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine ;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others;  beaten  a  head  for  Members'  Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Thormanby-Actresscolt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  and,  royally-bred 
as  he  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  be  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback. 


OWAS. 


GREENBACK'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 

^ -    FEES    PAYABLE    AT   TIME    OF   SERVICE.   —— ~^^— 

We  offer  Good  Pasturage  at  $4  per  Month.    Mares  will  be  Fed  Hay  and  Grain,  If  Desired,  at  Reasonable  Rates 


OWAS  is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sire  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1893,  being  by  Reform  (son  of 
imp.  Leamington),  dam  Maggie  B.  B-,  dam  of  Iroquois,  Harold, 
Francesca,  Panique  and  Okema.  Owas  is  thoroughly  untried,  never 
having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  fall  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  be  secured  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
pr  jve  just  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  in  the  stud.  Owas  is  a 
bay  horse,  of  good  size,  a  magnificent  Individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fail  to  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  in  America,  in  all  probability.  Reform,  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Service,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner),  La  Belle  N., 
Blushrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  turf,  while  his  dam, 
Maggie  B.  E.,  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  In  America. 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  prove  what 
we  think  of  this  young  horse  it  has  been  decided  to  offer 

OWAS'  SERVICES  AT.  $50.

ca.x*, 


L  OYAI  1ST  was  one  of  the  very  greatest  race  horses 
in  Australia,  winner  of  the  rich  Brunswick  stakes, 
l\4  miles,  on  Turf  Course,  in  2:0S'4',  the  best  time 
on  record  until  b  aten  by  the  renowned  Carbine, 
who  r»n    in    2:07  ls.    Also  won   Tasmania  Jockey 
Club  Trial  Stakes,  1 1-3  miles,  and  Tasmanian  Fly- 
ing Handicap,  6  furlongs,  and  ran  second  in  Final  ■ 
Handicap,  A.  J.  C,  1"4  miles,  in  2:10. 
here   are  only    two    Grandsons    of  Stockwell 
(the  Greatest  Sire  that  Ever  Lived)  stand- 
ing in  America,  and  Loyalist  is  one. 

Imp.  Loyalist  is  a  dark  bay  horse,  foaled  in  Novem- 
ber, 1884,  bred  by  Sir.  Samuel  Gardiner,  of  Bundoora 
Park,  Melbourne  fbreeder  of  Darebin).  He  stands  15.3 
hands  on  steely  legs,  and  has  great  joints  and  the  best 
of  feet.  Loyalist  is  a  typical  Marquis  horse,  bfinghard 
and  muscular,  standing  overa  lot  of  ground,  with  short, 
strong  back,  aod  with  wonderfully  muscular  quarters. 
Bis  head  and  neck  are  models  of  symmetry,  his 
shoulders  are  well-placed,  and  he  is  all  over  "horse," 
showing  a  grand  constitution— a  most  excellent  point 
In  a  sire. 

The  success  of  the  Marquis'  sons  as  sires  in  Australia 
is  truly  remarkable,  Newminster,  one  of  them,  being 
admittedly  one  of  the  best  in  the  Colonies.  Loyalists 
sire— The  Marqnis-  won  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  and 
Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  1882,  and  only  lost  the  Derby 
byai.ead.  Ha  wns  by  the  Emperor  of  Sires— Stock 
well— from  Cinizelli,  by  Touchstone,  who  was  one  of 
the  greatest  broodmares  in  English  turf  history,  pro 
dociug,  as  she  did,  The  Marquis,  The  Peer  rslre  of  Dar- 
ebln).Towton  (sire  of  a  host  of  winners),  and  Mar- 
chioness (winner  of  The  Oaks,  and  dam  of  the  great 
Fishhook  and  Bose  of  Denmark,  who  have  left  their 
mighty  impress  on  the  horses  of  Australia.) 

Loyalist's  dam  Loyal  Pervss  'by  The  Peer,  sire  of 
Darebinj,  produced,  in  addition  to  Loyalist, Loyalstone. 
who  will  ever  be  remembered  in  Australian  turf  history 
as  having  been  beaten  onlv  bv  a  nose  by  Vengeance  in 
the  rich  CaulBeld  Cup  'f  1890,  1%  miles,  in  the  best 
time  on  record  (on  a  turf  course),  in  a  very  large  field. 
Many  people  always  contend  that  Loyalstone  really 
won  it.  Vengeance,  who  received  the  verdict,  was  by 
Newminster,  son  of  The  Marqnis. 

Loyalist  comes  of  wonderful  sire  lines,  for  apart 
from  his  truly  grand  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  he  has 
on  his  dam's  side  of  the  house  breeding  unequaUed  in 
America,  if  Indeed  in  the  world.  Loyal  Peeress  pro- 
duced Loyalist,  Loyalstone  and  Loyal  Lady,  the  latter 
in  turn  the  dam  of  Submission,  a  heavy  winner  in  1892. 
His  second  dam,  Loyal  Devoir,  produced  the  winner, 
Caractacus;  the  third  dan.,  Letty  West,  produced 
Glorious,  a  most  successful  Australian  sire,  and  Filz- 
barding.  Danebury  and  Letty  Lyon,  splendid  race- 
horses; the  fourth  dam.  Bay  Letty,  gave  to  the  world 
libelous  and  Letty  Long;  Ihe  fifth  dam.  Miss  Letty, 
winner  of  the  Oaks,  produced  the  renowned  sire, 
Weatherblt,  and  ten  others  that  were  race  horses  and 
producers,  among  the  number  Letetla,  sixth  dam  of 
Palo  Alto's  great  colt,  Cadmus.  Loyalist's  sixth  dam, 
the  Orville  mare,  Is  the  third  dam  of  that  famous 
English  sire,  Adventurer,  while  bis  tenth  dam,  Pros- 
erpine, was  sister  to  the  mighty  Eclipse,  of  "Eclipse 
first,  the  rest  nowhere  "  fame.

is  never  more  than  two  inches  of  water  over  the  180 
acres.  There  are  100  acres  level,  fine  garden  soil,  which 
could  be  put  Into  alfalfa  and  irrigated.  There  are  80 
acres  of  very  gently-rolling  land— soil  very  rich,  dark 
chocolate  loam,  very  deep ;  the  balance  <167  acres)  is 
rolling  land,  very  rich,  deep  soil,  black  loam. 

This  ranch  has  produced  famous  crops  of  grain— 30  to 
40  bushels  per  acre.  The  ranch  has  a  frontage  ot  three- 
quarters  ot  a  mile  on  Suisun  Bay,  which  is  formed  bv 
the  Sacramento  and  San  Joaquin  rivers.  The  water  is 
slightly  brackish.  Boals  are  passing  day  and  night 
Freight  to  the  city  by  schooners  and  steamers  is  very 
cheap;  by  railroad  it  is  12'*.  cents  per  hundred  or  *10 
per  carload— four  trains  a  day. 

The  ranch  Is  well-fenced  with  redwood  posts  and  pine 
boards;  house  of  six  rooms;  a  fair  barn;  two  wells  12 
to  14  feet  deep,  with  an  abundant  flow  of  lime-stone 
water.  Identically  the  same  as  in  the  famous  BlueGrass 
region  of  Kentucky;  two  windmills  with  tank.  A 
mile  track  can  be  had  on  the  lule  land,  oron  the  bottom 
100  acres. 

My  price  for  thi '  ranch  Is  575  per  acre— easy  terms,  or 
will  sell  a  one-half  interest  to  a  good,  reliable  party. 
This  ranch  cannot  be  duplicated  in  the  State  for  less 
than  ?125  per  acre,  considering  location,  climate,  soil 
and  accessibility  to  San  Frauclsco.  For  further  par- 
ticulars, address  DR.  POSEY,  Owner.

Stock  Farm  For  Sale. 

One  of  the  finest  stock  farms  in  California,  consisting  of  about  ODe  hundred  acres  of  rich 
soil,  twenty  acres  of  which  in  alfalfa,  well  watered  and  fenced.  It  is  one  of  the  best-appointed 
places  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Napa  river.  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
it.  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  slyle, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  hook  is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  lu  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters, 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft, and  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  handsot  every  rubber  on  our  farm  "

To  horses  feet,  in  a  great  many  instances,  keeps  the 
horse  from  doing  good  work,  when  at  a  small  expense 
and  a  little  time  the  trouble  could  be  remedied- 

A  horse  should  be  shod  at  least  once  a  month 
and  all  dead  and  diseased  hoof  pared  off.  An  even 
bearing  of  the  shoe  and  an  application  of 

Campbell's  Horse  Foot  Remedu 

once  a  day  to  grow  the  hoof  and  take  out  the  fever 

and  soreness  will  leave  the  foot  in  good  condition. 

A  gallon  can  will  last  a  year  for  one  horse  if  none  is 

wasted.     The  testimonials  published   in   our  little 

book  should  give  any  horse  owner  confidence  to  try 

the  remedy  and  one  trial  will  demonstrate  to  you  its 

merits.  Try  it  TO-DAY!

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


TWENTY-FIRST   DAY — FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY   2. 

NCE  more  our  local  race-goers 
were  favored  with  some  excellent 
sport.  The  fields  were  not  com- 
posed of  as  good  material  as  those 
of  yesterday,  but  the  horses  were 
evenely  matched,  making  the 
racing  interesting  in  the  extreme. 
The  track  was  fully  a  second 
and  a  half  slow  to  the  mile,  the 
clay  being  still  deep  and  wet  in 
the  homestretch.  Favorites  were 
bowled  over  with  great  regularity  this  afternoon,  Conde  be- 
ing the  only  one  to  win  approaching  favoritism.  In  conse- 
quence of  this  state  of  affairs  the  bookmakers  had  a  perfect 
financial  picnic,  and  few  indeed  were  the  players  that  quit 
ahead  of  the  game.  The  successful  jockeys  this  afternoon 
were  J.  Weber,  Chevalier,  Madison  and  F.  Carr,  the  latter 
winning  the  last  two  races  for  Barney  Schreiber,  the  popular 
Teutonic  penciler. 

Conde  carried  119  J  pounds  to  victory  in  the  first  event,  con- 
ceding a  lot  of  weight  to  every  horse  in  the  race.  Orville 
Appleby  certainly  has  his  horses  in  great  racing  shape. 
Clacquer,  trained  by  Johnny  Appleby,  ran  second  in  this  race, 
while  Claire,  trained  by  Billy  Appleby,  scooped  in  the  sec- 
ond race.  Verily  the  Appleby  brothsrsare  successful  trainers, 
and  Orville  in  particular  is  crowning  himself  with  more  glory 
with  each  succeeding  day — and  incidentally  filling  his  pockets 
with  gold. 

Claire  won  the  second  race  in  a  great  drive  from  Ryland. 
Both  were  long  shots,  the  winner  being  at  10  to  1-  Regal 
and  Floodmore  seemed  to  have  the  race  to  themselves,  run- 
ning one-twolto  the  homestretch,  where  Claire  came  up  like 
a  flash,  as  did  Ryland. 

The  third  was  "  a  race  as  was  a  race,"  .Marigold  opened 
up  quite  a  gap  of  daylight  on  her  field  going  to  the  half, 
where  imp.  Candid  was  second,  having  run  up  from  sixth 
place.  Candid  joined  Marigold  in  the  homestretch,  and  a 
battle  royal  raged.  Caadid  got  in  front  a  trifle,  and  shouts 
went  up  for  the  Australian  mare.  Marigold  stuck  gamely 
■o  her  work,  however,  and  in  the  last  two  strides  Katy  Pease's 
tplendid  daughter  got  up  and  won  by  a  head  amid  intense 
ixcitement.  The  handicap  was  a  success,  and  the  victory  of 
Mr.  Storn's  mare  was  quite  a  popular  one. 

The  Kitten  won  the  fourth  race  with  ease  from  the  heavily 
ilayed  colt,  The  Mallard,  who  was  favorite.  Raphael  led 
nto  the  homestretch,  but  only  finished  third. 

The  last  race  was  taken  by  Semele,  a  full  sister  to  Crawford 
ind  bred  by  Charles  Kerr,  of  Bakersfield.  She  was  at  8  to  1, 
indled  nearly  all  the  way.  Kathleen  ran  a  very  game  race 
or  a  short-bred  one,  getting  the  place  from  Inferno,  an  even- 
Qoney  favorite. 


Barney  Schreiber  won  two  races  today,  and  is  credited 
with  making  a  killing  with  Semele. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE   RUN. 

The  first  race  was  at  five  and  a  half  furlongs.  Abi  P., 
Guard  and  Conde  were  equal  favorites  at  2  to  1,  the  others 
going  at  from  15  to  50  to  1.  Clacquer  was  at  30  to  I  straight, 
10  to  1  place.  To  a  fair  start  Conde  led,  with  Clacquer  sec- 
ond and  Viceroy  third.  Cohde  led  Clacquer  by  two  lengths 
to  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  where  Clacquer  came  fast 
and  got  up  to  Conde1  s  neck  a  sixteenth  from  home.  The  lat- 
ter, under  persuasion,  drew  away  and  won  by  a  length.  Vice- 
roy was  "third,  four  lengths  (behind  Clacquer.  Abi  P.  was  last 
all  the  way,  and  seemed  to  have  lost  her  speed.     Time,  1:08£.

The  unlucky  number  of  thirteen  selling-platers  came  to  the 
postin  thesecond  race,  which  was  also  five  and  a  half  fur- 
longs. Floodmore,  at  3  to  1,  was  favorite,  Nutwood  second 
in  demand  at  4  to  1.  Claire  was  a  10  to  1  shot  and  Ryland 
at  12.  To  a  fair  start  for  all  but  Gondola  they  went  away. 
Regal  and  Floodmore  ran  head-and-head  past  the  half,  with 
Viceroy  third.  Regal  led  into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths, 
Claire  now  second,  half  a  length  from  Floodmore.  Claire 
came  away  in  the  homestretch,  and  Regal  dropped  back.  Ry- 
land came  out  of  the  bunch  and  gave  the  little  filly  battle, 
and  in  a  drive  Claire  won  by  half  a  length,  Ryland  catching 
her  fast.  Two  lengths  behind  Ryland  came  Floodmore,  a 
length  from  Gilead.     Time,  1:10.

The  third  event  was  a  mile  handicap,  with  seven  starters. 
Hy  Dy  was  the  favorite,  King  Mac  second  choice,  Marigold 
next  in  demand  at  3A  to  1.  King  Mac  was  heavily  played  at 
4  to  1.  Imp.  Candid  was  at  6  to  1.  T»  a  good  start  Mari- 
gold went  out  and  set  the  pace,  leading  past  the  quarter  by 
two  lengths,  Conrade  second,  a  length  from  Vanity.  Litt'e 
Weber  set  to  work  on  Candid,  and  had  run  her  up  into  sec- 
ond place  at  the  half,  a  length  behind  Marigold,  Hy  Dy 
third.  Candid  went  fast  around  the  final  turn  and  was  but  a 
head  behind  the  daughter  of  Katy  Pease  as  they  swung  into 
the  homestretch.  Candid  and  Marigold  locked  horns  in  the 
homestretch,  and  in  a  great  drive  all  the  way  down  the 
straight.  Candid  looking  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last  three 
jumps,  Marigold,  with  a  last  effort,  got  up  and  won  by  a  short 
head  from  Candid,  who  beat  Hy  Dy  five  lengths  for  place.  It 
was  a  great  race — one  that  will  not  be  forgotten  in  many  a 
day.  The  time  was  1:44};.

The  fourth  race,  about  six  furlongs,  brought  forth  eight 
three-year-olds.  The  Mallard  was  a  hot  favorite  and  played 
for  all  kinds  of  money.  The  Kitten  was  a  strong  second 
choice  at  2  to  1.  Faro  was  not  despised  at  Z\  to  1  To  a 
fine  start  Remus  led,  with  The  Kitten  second  and  Raphael 
third.  The  Kitten  dropped  back  to  fourth  place  nearing  the 
half-pole,  and  Raphael  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a  neck, 
The  Kitten  second.  The  Kitten  came  away  in  the  Btraight, 
and  leading  an  eighth  from  home  by  two  lengths,  won  by 
three  from  The  Mallard,  who  came  very  strong  down  the 
homestretch,  Raphael  third,  four  lengths  further  away.  Time,

The  last  race  of  the  day,  five  aud  one-half  furlongs,  selling, 
brought  nine  starters  before  Mr.  Ferguson.  Inferno  was  an 
even-money  favorite.  Boule  and  Rube  Burrows  were  at  7 
to  1  each  and  next  in  public  favor,  while  Semele's  closing 
odds  were  8  to  1.  Semele  went  to  the  front  without  delay, 
leading  by  three  lengths  passing  the  half-pole,  with  Kathleen 
second,  a  length  from  Initiation.  Semele  held  the  lead  all

TWENTY-SECOND  DAY — SATURDAY,  FEBRUARY  3. 

An  immense  crowd  saw  some  splendid  racing  to-day.  The 
track  was  nearly  as  good  as  it  could  be  made,  and  the  racing 
was  of  a  high  order  of  excellence.  Leigh  rode  the  first  two 
winders,  and  other  successful  jockeys  were  Irving,  Bishop 
and  Taylor.  Three  favorites,  one  second  choice  and  a  long 
shot  were  first  past  the  post,  making  it  pretty  near  a  dead 
heat  between  the  talent  and  the  pencilers.  Lottie  D.  was 
scratched  out  of  the  first  race,  as  the  parties  having  her  un- 
der lease  were  afraid  that  if  she  won  she  would  be  run  up  on 
them  beyond  the  limit. 

Ottyanna  won  the  first  race  in  a  hard  drive  by  a  neck  from 
the  fast-coming  Duke  $tevens,  on  whom  Hal  Fisher  was 
lapped.  The  Duke  sulked  a  bit  or  he  might  have  won. 
Johnny  Weber  rode  a  superb  race  on  him,  however.  Otty- 
anna was  a  11  to  20  shot,  and  the  result  proved  that  she 
should  have  been  at  about  4  to  5  or  even  money. 

Royal  Flush,  at  one  time  a  6-to-l  shot  (4  to  1  at  the 
post),  gathered  in  the  second  race,  one  of  a  mile,  like  a  true 
race  horse.  He  and  Centella  raced  rather  close  together 
until  passing  the  half-pole,  when  be  assumed  *be  lead  and 
won  in  commanding  style  by  three  lengths  from  Comrade, 
who  came  fast  down  the  homestretch  and  beat  Centella  a 
length  for  the  place.  Sir  Reel,  the  favorite,  was  never  close 
to  the  money,  and  Zobair  was  not  prominent  either  at  any 
time  during  the  journey,  which  was  accomplished  in  1:42 J. 

Leo  won  the  Elmwood  Handicap,  for  three-year-olds,  like 
a  true  daughter  of  Tyrant  should.  Irving  waited  with  her 
until  well  straightened  in  the  homestretch,  when  she  came  on 
and  won  with  an  ease  that  demonstrated  she  was  a  sure 
enough  cracker.  Lovedal,  played  to  win  a  small  fortune  by 
his  owner,  Col.  D.  M.  Burns,  got  the  place  very  handily. 
Morven  led  to  the  homestretch,  and  looked  very  dangerous 
even  an  eighth  from  home,  but  Gussie  came  very  fast  at  the 
end  and  beat  him  out  of  third  place.  Broadhead  ran  very 
well  for  five  furlongs,  and  then  died  away. 

Ballarat  made  a  runaway  of  the  short-course  steeplechase, 
winning  very  easily  by  three  lengths  from  Longwell,  who 
was  gaining  very  fast  at  the  end.  Wild  Oats  snowed  vast 
improvement  in  this  race,  getting  third  place.  Longwell 
was  backed  in  this  race  from  3  to  1  down  to  7  to  5.  Ballarat's 
closing  odds  were  6  to  5. 

Middleton  showed  himself  to  be  a  wonderful  sprinter  by 
winning  the  last  race  from  a  lot  of  good  short-distance  flyers. 
Getting  away  next  to  last,  he  came  to  the  front  in  the  home- 
stretch, winning  handily  by  over  a  length  from  Joe  Cotton, 
who  was  but  a  head  in  front  of  old  Red  Light.  Grafton  was 
the  favorite.

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Ottyanna,  played  for  thousands,  was  at  11  to  20  at  the 
opening,  9  to  20  at  the  close.  Hal  Fisher  was  second  choice 
at  5  to  1,  while  Duke  Stevens  was  at  7  to  1.  Johnny  Weber 
sent  Duke  Stevens  along  at  once,  and  passing  the  half-pole  he 
led  Hal  Fisher  a  length,  Ottyanna  only  a  head  behind  the 
big  brown  horse.  The  Duke  went  to  sulking  soon  after  pass- 
ing the  half,  switching  his  tail  in  token  of  his  disapproval, 
and  Weber  gave  him  plentiful  doses  of  whip  cordial.  Otty- 
anna led  into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths,  and  appeared 
for. a  moment  to  be  winning  easily.  Under  strong  urging 
I  Juke  Stevens  came  fast  and  was  catching  the  favorite  at 
every  jump,  making  the  backers  of  Ottyanna  swallow  their 
tobacco.  However,  he  could  not  quite  get  up,  and  Ottyanna 
won  by  a  neck  from  the  Duke,  with  Hal  Fisher  only  half  a 
length  further  away.

Sir  Reel,  played  with  all  kinds  of  money,  was  made  a  bot 
favorite  in  the  second  race,  one  mile,  handicap.  Royal  Flush 
opened  up  at  5  to  1,  went  to  6,  then  was  backed  down  to  4 
to  1.  Zobair  opened  favorite  at  7  to  5,  but  was  a  4  to  1  shot 
at  the  close.  Shaw  sent  Centella  along  from  the  fall  of  the 
Hag,  and  she  led  Royal  Flush  three  lengths  at  the  quarter 
and  onlv  a  length  at  the  half.  Leigh  now  gave  Royal  Flush 
rein,  and  he  went  by  Centella  like  a  flash  and  led  her  two 
lengths  three  furlongs  from  home,  Comrade  a  good  third. 
Royal  Flush  entered  the  homestretch  three  lengths  to  the 
good,  and  easily  held  this  advantage  to  the  end.  Comrade 
came  with  a  fine  rush  about  a  sixteenth  from  the  end,  and 
beat  Centella  for  place  honors  by  a  length.  Sir  Reel  was 
fourth,  Zobair  fifth  and  imp.  Luna  last.  The  time  was  1:42|

The  Elmwood  Handicap  for  three  year-olds,  about  six  fur- 
longs, followed.  Leo,  the  racy-looking  daughter  of  Tyrant 
and  Geo,  by  imp.  The  IU-Used,  was  at  all  times  a  favorite, 
notwithstanding  the  rushes  of  moneyed  men  on  Broadhead, 
and  the  heavy  play  on  the  AVildidle  colt,  Lovedal,  who  was 
backed  from  10  to  1  down  to  5.*  Gussie  and  Broadhead  were 
at  3  to  1  each,  the  others  from  10  to  lOOto  1.  To  a  good  start, 
the  order  Leo,  Lovedal,  Broadhead,  Morven,  they  went 
away.  The  last  named  went  through  the  bunch  in  the  first 
furlong,  leading  Broadhead  by  a  head  swinging  by  the  half- 
pole,  Leo  third,  half  a  length  off  and  being  taken  back  by 
Irving.  Past  the  next  post  Morven  still  led  by  a  head, 
Broadhead  second,  two  lengths  from  the  favorite,  with  Love- 
dal coming  up  fast.  Shouts  went  up  for  Morven  as  they 
swung  around  into  the  straight,  but  they  soon  died  away  when 
Irving  went  to  work  with  a  will  on  the  pretty  Leo.  The  lead 
of  the  trio  in  front  of  her  was  soon  cut  down,  and  a  furlong 
from  home  she  was  leading  Morven  a  head,  Broadhead  a 
head  further  behind,  and  both  he  and  Morven  dying  fast. 
Leo  came  away  with  ease,  winning  by  two  lengths,  and  Love- 
dal came  again  and  got  the  place  as  easily.  Gussie  ran  like 
a  flash  at  the  finish,  beating  Morven  half  a  length  for  the 
show.  Time,  1:13 — a  grand  run  with  109  pouuds  up  at  this 
season  of  the  year.

The  short-course  steeplechase  with  seven  starters — the

favorite  at  8  to  5  at  the  opening,  6  to  5  at  the  close.  Long- 
well  was  played  so  heavily  that  his  odds  were  cut  from  3  to 
1  to  7  to  o.  Templemore  was  at  6'  to  1,  the  others  from  10  to

Ballarat  second  and  Hercules  third.  Bishop  soon  had  Bal-

TWENTY-THIKD  DAY — TUESDAY,  FEBRUARY  6. 

A  great  day  of  racing.  That  was  the  verdict  of  those  that 
attended  the  races  this  afternoon — and  2,000  or  more  were 
there.  The  course  was  not  as  bad  as  one  would  be  led  to 
believe,  but  heavy  enough  in  all  conscience  to  make  the 
victories  go  to  the  powerful  animals  in  most  cases.  And 
speaking  of  victories,  three  favorites  were  successful,  together 
with  a  strong  second  choice  and  one  long  shot.  The  long 
shot,  on  his  record  in  heavy  going,  should  never  have  been 
a  long  shot.  We  refer  to  Zarupost,  who  was  beaten  the 
best  at  the  course  in  the  mud,  in  which  he  is  a  stake  horse. 
The  successful  pilots  to-day  were  C.  Weber,  Leigh,  Madison, 
J.  Weber  and  Irving. 

Fly  led  all  the  way  in  the  opening  race,  but  had  not 
Rosie  P.  {half-sister  to  Acclaim  and  Royal  Flush)  run  such 
a  zig-zag  course  in  the  homestretch,  Nick  Hall  would  prob- 
ably pot  have  woo  Fly  out.  San  Luis  Key  got  the  show, 
and  Belle  Platte  died  away  in  the  straight  in  a  style  sadden- 
ing to  her  admirers. 

The  first  two-year-old  race  of  the  season,  three  furlongs, 
was  won  by  Ed.  Corrigan's  filly,  Kitty  Scott  (by  Isaac  Mur- 
phy— Jennie  Tracy).  She  waited  on  Mollie  R.  until  about 
a  sixteenth  from  the  finish,  when  she  came  away  and  won 
like  a  racer  of  high,  degree  by  a  good  two  lengths.  Mollie 
R.  (sister  to  Concob)  got  the  place  and  Cecil  S.  (by  Jim 
Brown — Deception)  the  show.  Silver  (the  second  Morello) 
was  never  in  the  hunt. 

Zampost,  at  10  to  1,  led  all  the  way  in  the  third  race,  sis 
and  one-half  furlongs,  and  won  easily  from  Conde,  who  got 
away  in  the  middle  of  the  bunch  and  had  to  run  around  his 
field.  Blizzard,  at  6  to  1  for  show,  got  third  place.  Joe 
Murphy,  the  warm  favorite,  ran  third  most  of  the  way;  and 
finished  back  in  the  bunch. 

Duke  Stevens  led  from  flag-fall  to  finish  in  the  fourth 
event,  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  winning  in  a  canter  from  the 
long  shot,  Road  Runner,  the  favorite,  Grafton,  finishing  up  a 
poor  sort  of  third.  Verily  Orville  Appleby  has  some  bread- 
winners, and  knows  how  to  keep  them  winning  bread — and 
occasionally  a  piece  of  frosted  cake. 

Zenobia  took  the  last  race  of  the  day  into  camp,  though 
Norlee  gave  the  backers  of  the  favorite  an  awful  scare.  She 
shut  up  badly  at  the  end,  and  Guard  came  on  and  got  the 
place,  Green  Hock  beating  Norlee  a  head  for  the  show. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

The  initial  race  of  the  week  was  for  maiden  three-year-olds, 
five  furlongs.  Fly  was  first  choice  in  the  books  at  7  and  8  to 
5,  Rosie  P.  next  in  demand  at  21.  tol.  Belle  Platte  was  at  8 
to  1,  San  Luis  Key  10  to  1,  the  others  from  15  to  60  to  1.  Fly, 
San  Luis  Rey,  Geneva,  Rosie  P.  was  the  order  at  the  start 
Fly  led  at  the  half  by  two  lengths,  with  Rosie  P.  second,  as 
far  from  Belle  Platte,  who  was  a  length  from  San  Luis  Rey. 
Fly  came  back  to  Rosie  P.  going  to  the  homestretch,  which 
he  entered  a  neck  in  advance.  Rosie  P.  ran  a  zig-zag  course 
in  the  homestretch,  losing  a  lot  of  ground,  then  came  again, 
Fly  beating  her  out  a  length  in  a  drive.  Rosie  P.,  second,  was 
three  lengths  from  San  Luis  Rey  third.  Belle  Platte  fell 
back  in  the  homestretch  badly,  finishing  sixth.  De  La  Guerra 
ran  a  good  race,  finishing  fourth.    Time,  1:051.

second  choice  at  4  to  1,  Monterey  next  in  demand  at  6  to  1. 
The  youngsters  pranced  around,  some  ran  oft"  nearly  an  eighth 
of  a  mile,  while  others  refused  to  break  for  quite  awhile. 
Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  very  fine  start,  and  Mollie  R.  dashed 
away  like  a  shot,  opening  up  two  lengths  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch,  with  Kitty  Scott  second,  as  far  from  Cecil  S. 
Leigh  set  to  work  on  the  Corrigan  filly.  She  got  up  to  Mollie 
R.  about  sixty  yards  from  the  finish,  and  drawing  away,  won

The  last  race  of  the  day,  five  furlongs,  selling,  had  nine 
starters,  and  Zenobia  for  the  hottest  sort  of  favorite.  The 
best  odds  obtainable  against  the  Kentucky  Stable  mare  were 
2  to  5.  Imp.  Piccolo,  at  8  to  1,  was  second  choice,  Guard 
going  to  the  post  at  15  to  1  straight,  4  to  1  place.  Zenobia, 
Norlee,  Guard  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Norlee  then  took 
up  the  running,  going  at  a  great  pace,  and  leading  the  very 
sweedy  Zenobia  a  length  for  over  a  Quarter  of  a  mile  and  by 
a  neck  into  the  homestretch,  and  even  nearly  up  to  the  last 
sixteenth  of  a  mile,  where  she  gave  up  and  fell  back  like  a 
house  afire,  Zenobia  looking  an  easy  widner.  Guard,  who 
had  been  running  third  throughout,  and  about  four  lengths 
back  in  the  homestretch,  came  like  a  flash  at  the  close,  and, 
gaining  at  every  stride,  was  only  a  length  behind  as  Zenobia 
passed  the  winning  post.  Green  Hock,  fifth  in  the  home- 
stretch, came  fast  enough  at  the  end  to  secure  show  honors, 
beating  the  dying-away  Norlee  by  a  head.  Annie  Moore  was

Surinam  to  Leave  for  the  South. 


This  magnificent  son  of  Joe  Hooker  and  Ada  C,  by  Reve- 
nue, will  leave  for  his  future  home,  Hope  Glen  Stock  Farm, 
Santa  Barbara,  Santa  Barbara  County,  some  day  next 
week.  His  owner,  T.  W.  Moore,  has  gathered  the  nucleus  of 
a  first-class  stock  farm  while  here,  having  been  a  liberal 
buyer  at  our  sales,  and  with  such  mares  as  Sister  to  Lottery 
(dam  of  Prize),  Vixen  (dam  of  Ragna  and  several  other 
good  racehorses),  by  imp.  Saxon;  Suwanee,  by  Suwarrow, 
out  of  Sister  to  Ruth  Ryan  (dam  of  Q.aarterstafF).  Surinam, 
as  a  racehorse,  was  one  of  the  best  that  ever  faced  a  starter, 
while  as  a  sire  the  first  of  his  progeny  and  the  only  two  that 
have  been  trained,  Advantage  and  Yucatan,  have  proved  that 
they  are  winners.  Besides  these  great  horses  in  the  East, 
there  will  be  a  number  of  his  progeny  at  the  spring  meeting 
of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  Association,  notably  Flashlight,  Examiner 
and  the  colt  out  of  Mistletoe  by  Thad  Stevens,  that  Cy  Mul- 
key  says  is  a  second  Salvator. 

La  Lee,  by  Shannon,  out  of  Demirep,  dam  of  Duke  ol 
Monday,  etc.)  by  Melbonrne  Jr.;  Lottie  C.,  by  imp.  Glenelg, 
out  of  Minx  (dam  of  Mirth,  etc.),  by  Lexington;  Ban  Lassie, 
by  imp.  King  Ban,  out  of  Elysian  Lass,  by  Austerlitz;  Her 
Lilyship  (dam  of  Satanella)  by  Wildidle,  out  of  Frolic  (dam 
of  Precious,  etc.),  by  Thunder  ;  Una  (dam  ofGurth,  Guenoc, 
etc.),  by  Daniel  Boone,  son  of  Lexington;  Diana,  bv  imp. 
Glenelg,  dam  Annie  Bush  (dam  of  Bushwacker,  Charley 
Bush,  etc.),  by  Lexington,  and  a  filly  by  Jim  Brown,  dam 
Nellie  Collier  (dam  of  Yosemite,  Bridal  Veil  and  Vernon), 
by  Joe  Hookert  Besides  these  choice  thoroughbreds  Mr. 
Moore  has  purchased  the  very  choicest-bred  and  best-formed 
young  trotters  tie  could  gather  during  the  past  two  years.  H< 
has  sons  and  daughters  of  Director,  Simmocolon,  Sidney,  Al 
cona,Cassius  M.  Clay  Jr.  22,  Eclectic,  Gaviota,  by  Electioneer, 
Dawn,  Hambletonian  Mambrino,  Nutwood  and  Eros.  Wo. 
Dunbar,  the  well-known  horseman,  has  been  appointed  super- 
intendent; and  as  suitable  buildings,  barns  and  stables  will  be 
erected,  Hope  Glen  Stock  Farm  promises  to  be  one  of  the 
finest  places   between  this   city  and  Los  Angeles. 


Notwithstanding  the  shower  of  statistics  which  comei 
from  all  the  older  turf  papers  in  the  form  of  tables,  often 
generously  borrowed  from  each  other,  the  official  Year  Book 
of  the  American  Trotting  Register  Association  is  still  awaited 
with  great  eagerness  by  everyone  at  all  concerned  in  the  do- 
ings of  the  light-harness  flyers.  Each  year  the  secretary  ol 
the  Register  Association,  J.  IT.  Steiner,  has  endeavored  to  gel 
this  important  budget  together  by  the  1st  of  February,  but 
like  all  other  publishers,  he  finds  it  well-nigh  impossible  to 
be  exactly  on  time.  Under  date  of  January  22d,  Secretary 
Steiner  writes  from  Chicago  :  "  We  are  having  the  Year  Boobj 
printed  in  Cleveland,  which  fact,  together  with  the  many 
blunders  in  the  names  of  horses  made  by  the  clerk  who  ha* 
given  us  the  copy  of  the  summaries  from  the  National  Trot 
ting  Association,  renders  it  impossible  to  get  it  out  before  th( 
loth  of  February.  These  mistakes  necessitated  the  cnttiug  o 
our  plates  in  order  to  get  the  work  approximately  correct.'

Arranging-  a  Plan  of  Campaign. 

The  articles  on  the  treatment  of  horses  between  heats  and 
before  and  after  races,  which  have  appeared  in  the  last  two 
issues  of  The  Horseman,  were  written  by  request,  breaking 
in  upon  the  series  originally  planned,  and  therefore  it  will 
be  necessary  this  week  to  hark  back  a  little  and  take  up  the 
management  of  trotters  in  the  spring.  Upon  the  business 
management  depends  much  of  the  success  a  stable  of  trotters 
may  have  during  the  season,  for  no  matter  how  much  speed 
they  may  have,  or  how  well  trained  and  driven  they  may  be. 
if  a  plan  of  campaign  is  not  judiciously  laid  out  before  start- 
ing from  home,  profits  will  be  needlessly  frittered  away  in 
useless  expenses  and  the  speed  of  the  string  wasted  in  long 
hauls,  tedious  waits  in  railway  yards,  and  idle  weeks.  As 
those  who  are  prominent  enough  in  the  breeding  or  training 
industry  to  have  control  of  a  big  lot  have  gained  their  ex- 
perience in  the  hard  school  of  the  season?,  we  shall  endeavor 
to  voice  their  views  for  the  benefit  of  those  who  are  newer 
in  the  business  and  intend  campaigning  only  a  few  animals. 
-  The  first  thing  to  be  done  is  to  form  an  accurate  concep- 
tion of  the  speed  possessed  by  the  various  horses  in  the  stable. 
This  must  be  arrived  at  in  different  ways  and  gauged  in  a 
conservative  manner  on  the  basis  furnished  by  the  speed 
shown  the  preceding  season,  for  nowadays  almost  all  the  large 
stakes  close  before  the  season  for  active  training  commences. 
Years  ago  it  was  the  policy  of  most  associations  to  close  their 
entries  very  near  to  the  dale  of  the  race,  and  it  was  possible 
for  a  man  to  take  his  string  down  the  circuit,  entering  them 
in  a  sort  of  hand-to-mouth  way  ;  but  under  existing  condi- 
tions such  a  course  is  neither  profitable  nor  feasible.  Having 
determined  how  fast  the  colt  or  horse  may  reasonably  be  ex- 
pected to  go,  the  owoer  should  consult  the  advertising  col- 
umns of  The  Horseman  and  decide  upon  the  circuit  in  which 
he  will  make  his  entries.  \t  this  stage  an  error  of  judgment 
means  sure  failure  for  the  entire  season.  Captain  Machell. 
who  as  a  successful  manager  of  racehorses  has  bad  few  equals, 
oncesaid  that  the  whole  sciencs  of  racing  existed  in  knowing 
where  to  place  ODe's  horses,  and  nobody  with  any  experience 
on  the  turf  will  dispute  the  cogency  of  his  remark.  A  good, 
honest  colt  of  ordinary  speed  will  not  do  for  the  big  stakes 
any  more  than  ahorse  that  cannot  beat  2:20  will  turn  out  a 
profitable  one  to  enter  for  the  Merchants  and  Mechanics  at 
Detroit,  though  his  record  may  make  him  eligible.  Money 
paid  for  such  purposes  would  be  literally  wasted,  whereas 
if  devoted  to  securing  nominations         in 

events  of  more  minor  importance,  though  of  fair  value, 
might  enable  the  animals  to  win  an  acceptable  sum  of  money. 
When  a  selection  of  first  dates  is  made  care  should  be  taken 
that  the  last  point  in  the  circuit  is  adjacent  to  another  city 
where  a  meeting  will  be  held  and  which  is  convenient  to 
other  members  of  some  circuit  then  conducting  its  fixtures. 
This,  of  course,  applies  to  horses  which  are  not  of  sufficiently 
high  class  to  warrant  entries  being  made  for  them  in  the 
Western-Southern  or  Grand  Old  combinations.  If  a  colt  or 
horse  has  shown  marked  improvement  toward  the  end  of  the 
season  it  is  often  well  to  plan  his  engagements  so  that  he  may 
be  shifted  to  bigger  circuits  at  the  time  when  he  will  be  on 
edge.  First  payments  as  a  general  rule  are  small,  and  it  is 
always  best  to  engage  a  promising  horse  amply  and  to  have 
if  possible,  two  engagements  for  him  at  every  town.  Quite 
frequently  if  entered  but  once  a  crackerjack  develops  from 
amongst  the  entries,  aud  it  is  then  only  throwing  money  into 
the  fire  to  keep  up  the  payments;  but  more  than  likely  no 
such  thing  will  happen  in  the  second  event,  and  with  a  good 
chance  of  winning  a  part  of  the  money  the  subsequent  in- 
stallments may  be  made  good. 

The  plan  of  campaign  being  fully  mapped  out,  it  is  then  in 
order  for  the  owner  to  fix  upon  a  trainer  whom  he  will  em- 
ploy or  to  whom  he  will  send  his  hor.-es  for  the  season.  There 
are  many  contingencies  which  must  govern  his  choice  in  this 
respect.  In  the  first  place  a  man  of  undoubted  ability  should 
be  selected,  and  one  who,  as  far  as  is  known,  has  never  given 
his  employers  the  dou^e  cross.  Then  if  colls  are  to  be  raced, 
one  who  has  made  the  development  of  youngsters  a  specialty 
should  be  selected.  In  such  a  case  it  would  be  manifest  insan- 
ity to  send  the  colls  to  a  trainer  whose  only  success  has  been 
achieved  with  mature  horses.  On  the  other  hand  if  seasoned 
campaigners  are  to  be  sent  down  (he  circuit,  it  would  be  al- 
most as  unwise  to  band  them  over  to  a  cocdilioner  of  colts. 
In  any  event  the  best  available  talent  should  be  secured. 
When  an  owner  has  but  a  few  it  will  of  course  not  pay  him  lo 
employ  a  trainer  of  his  own,  and  when  he  picks  one  out  lo 
whom  he  would  like  to  send  his  string  he  should  be  governed 
largely  by  the  care  lie  thinks  his  hors°s  will  receive.  A  trainer 
may  be  ever  so  competent,  but  if  he  has  too  many  horses  un- 
der bis  charge  some  of  them  are  bound  to  suffer,  and  will,  as 
a  consequence,  prove  disappointing  through  lack  of  develop- 
ment or  attention.  A  great  many  owners  are  penny  wise  and 
pound  foolish  in  that  they  refuse  to  pay  for  the  training  of 
their  colls  and  horses  the  rates  demanded  by  successful  driv- 
ers' A  good  article  will  always  bring  ils  price  and  can  never 
be  bad  for  a  song.  Prices  per  diem,  of  course,  vary  slightly 
in  different  localities,  and  are  regulated  somewhat  by  the 
price  of  feed,  etc.  It  may  be  set  down,  however,  as  a  fact  that 
a  charge  of  less  than  $2  aday,  exclusive  of  shoeing  and  other 
incidental  expense.*,  means  inferior  ability  on  the  trainer's 
part,  and  consequently  inferior  advantages  to  the  animals. 
Boots,  blankets  and  other  appliances  should  be  cheerfully 
furnished  as  requested,  for  without  them  no  progress  can  be 
made.  It  is  always  well  to  send  the  horses  to  the  trainer  as 
early  in  the  season  as  possible  when  the  weather  will  admit 
of  slow  work,  for  the  sooner  they  are  ready  to  race  the  better.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY     CLUB  RACES. 


TWENTY-FOURTH  DAT — WEDNESDAY,    FEBRUARY  7. 

.HE   record   for   the   two  meetings 
was  broken   to-day.     That  is,  ab- 
solutely the  longest  shot  of  (he 
meetings  got  home  in  front  when 
v  F^A  Ked  Bira*  won  at  50  t0  !■     It;  was 

S^Jjfer-^^  tne  largest  sort  of  surprise,   the 

_5MiC^')  colt's    owner    not    even    having 

d^^/'ujj'  /ill^t\\(  confidence  enough  in  him  to  put 

\\f       «i       \\{  )(  UP  a  dollar  on  his  chances  of 

finishing  one-two-three.  An  8  to 
1  shot  (Nutwood)  won  the  last 
race,  while  the  remaining  three  evencs  were  taken  by  favor- 
ites. Under  the  circumstances  neither  the  public  nor  the 
pencilers  suffered  very  severely  today.  The  track  was  made 
slushy  by  the  recent  heavy  rains,  yet  the  felds  were  large  in 
three  of  the  races.  Taylor,  Isora,  F.  Carr,  Bishop  and  E. 
Jones  were  the  successful  pilots  to-day,  little  Isom  bringing 
in  the  50  to  1  shot. 

Middleton  again  demonstrated  that  he  is  a  wonderful 
sprinter  when  he  beat  a  fine  field  at  five  furlongs  in  the  first 
race  with  ease.  Hal  Fisher  got  the  place  and  Duke  Stevens, 
the  steel  horse,  the  show.  Bill  Howard  led  for  a  time,  then 
fell  back  in  the  ruck. 

Clara  White  looked  to  outclass  her  field  badly  in  the  sec- 
ond event,  which  was  five  furlongs  also.  Red  Bird,  a  50  to 
1  shot,  led  nearly  all  the  way  and  won  handily  from  One 
Dime,  Little  Tough  coming  up  with  a  rush  at  the  close  and 
getting  show  honors.  Clara  White  ran  very  prominently 
until  about  half-way  down  the  homestretch,  when  she  fell 
back  and  got  in  a  pocket  from  which  there  was  no  extrica- 
tion. 

Zoolein  made  a  runaway  win  in  the  third  event,  seeming 
to  love  the  mud.  Conde  ran  second  nearly  all  the  way. 
Motto,  last  away,  ran  a  very  good  race,  finishing  third. 
Blizzard  failed  to  show  in  this  race,  for  a  wonder.  While 
Conde  was  catching  Zoolein  fast  at  the  end  of  it,  the  latter 
won  easily  enough. 

Ballarat,  with  172  pounds  in  the  saddle,  and  under  a  heavy 
pull,  waited  on  Guadaloupe  until  the  big  bill  on  the  road  to 
the  regular  track  was  reached,  when  he  raced  to  the  froLt 
easily  and  won  the  mile  steeplechase  by  ten  lengths  from 
Guadaloupe,  whom  Blakeley  pulled  up,  seeing  he  was  beaten. 
Hercules,  a  30  to  1  shot,  finished  third,  Longwell  a  bad  last. 
The  last  race  of  the  day  was  won  by  the  outsider,  Nutwood, 
who  ran  fourth  and  fifth  to  the  homestretch,  where  he  gradu- 
ally improved  his  position  and  won  in  a  drive  by  the  shortest 
of  noses  from  Nellie  Van,  who  was  second  by  an  eyebrow, 
Floodmore  third.  Nellie  Van  led  nearly  all  the  way,  and 
ran  a  very  game  race,  especially  as  it  was  a  six  furlong  dash. 
Inferno,  the  favorite,  finished  fourth,  while  Rube  Burrows,  a 
heavily- played  second  choice,  was  never  in  the  hunt.  Ka- 
trinka  ran  second  up  to  the  last  eighth  of  a  mile,  hanging  on 
to  Nellie  Van  like  grim  death  up  to  that  point.

TWENTY-FJFTH     HAT — THURSDAY,    FEBRUARY    8. 

T  was  a  fairly  good  day  for  players  o 
form.  Three  favorites,  a  strong 
second  choice  and  one  long  shot 
captured  the  coin  this  queer  after- 
noon. The  course  was  still  slushy, 
^  but  better  time  was  made  than  yes- 
terday— or  [else  better  horses  were 
running.  "  Moose  "  Taylor  made  a 
great  record  for  himself  to-day, 
piloting  no  less  than  three  horses  to 
victory.  Charley  Weber  and  Felix 
Carr  rode  one  winner  each.  Two  or  three  supposed  "good 
things  "  went  glimmering,  notably  Morven  and  Resurrection, 
Imp.  Piccolo  showed  wonderfully  improved  form  over  that 
of  a  few  days  ago,  leading  all  the  way  into  the  stake  race. 
Many  wondered  at  the  sudden  reversal. 

Georgetown  won  the  fi  rst  race,  five  and  one-half  furlongs, 
like  a  crackerjack.  Morven,  out  in  front,  fought  him  to  the 
homestretch,  where  he  gave  up  and  Zampost  was  sent  for  all 
he  was  worth  after  Schreiber's  horse,  who  fairly  romped  in  a 
winner  by  a  couple  of  lengths.  Sir  Reginald  came  up  and 
beat  Morven  a  head, for  the  show.  The  rest  were  never  fairly 
in  the  hunt. 

Artist  opened  up  a  big  space  of  daylight  on  Thornhill 
el  al.  in  the  second  event  on  the  card,  but  Thornhill  caught 
him  as  they  straighiened  out,  and  coming  very  strong,  won 
by  several  lengths  from  Artist,  with  La  Reina  (who  has  had 
a  long  rest)  third. 

It  was  a  mere  exercise  gallop  for  imp.  Piccolo  to  win  the 
Undine  stakes  of  seven  furlongs,  he  leading  all  the  way  and 
winning  by  half  a  dozen  lengths.  Joe  Murphy,  odds-on 
favorite,  got  the  place  after  a  struggle  with  Tigress. 

Rosie  P.  won  the  fourth  race  easily  from  her  former  stable 
mate,  Ravine,  who  was  punched  out  by  Charley  Weber  to 
beat  Huntsman  out.  The  latter  led  nearly  to  the  home- 
stretch. Resurrection,  a  heavily  played  second  choice, 
ran  prominently  for  about  three  furlongs,  then  fell  back. 

Road  Runner  had  an  easy  thing  in  the  last  race  of  the  day, 
running  third  to  Red  Light  and  Norlee  to  the  straight,  then, 
when  Red  Light  had  bumped  and  run  Norlee  to  the  outside, 
came  on  and  won  a  bloc.;,  with  Annie  Moore,  at  odds  of  10 
to  1  for  place,  second,  and  Guard  a  poor  sort  of  third.  Road 
Runner  was  a  slight  favorite  in  this  race.

"Dalsyrian"  O'Leart,  who  is  constantly  offering  sug- 
gestions looking  toward  the  reform  aud  purification  of  racing, 
commends  the  raising  of  the  scale  of  weights  in  selling  races, 
an  innovation  introduced  at  New  Orleans  last  week.  Mr. 
O'Leary  states:  "This  innovation  was  introduced  in  order 
that  owners  may  utilize  the  services  of  such  jockeys  as  Dog- 
gett  and  Overton,  now  riding  at  New  Orleans.  It  is  a  good 
move,  and  one  that  weshould  be  glad  to  see  inaugurated  on 
all  of  our  race  courses.  This  question  of  raising  the  weights 
will  sooner  or  later  have  to  have  consideration,  and  increas- 
ing them  in  selling  races  is  one  step  in  the  right  direction.  It 
will  tend  to  educate  owners  up  to  a  higher  scale  of  weights  in 
the  handicaps.  A  gradual  movement  in  this  direction  in 
this  direction  is  badly  needed,  and  the  beginning  made  at 
New  Orleans  should  furnish  ample  suggestion  for  other  local- 
ities."  

It  is  said  that  the  Victoria  Racing  Club  has  concluded  to 
chop  the  amount  of  money  added  to  the  Melbourne  Cup  in 
half  and  only  give  £5,000  in  the  future  instead  of  £10,000. 
This  is  probably  true,  inasmuch  as  it  is  just  what  was  to  be 
expected.  The  parallel  between  our  own  racing  situation 
and  that  in  Australia  has  been  pointed  out  in  this  column 
more  than  once  before.  The  V.  R.  C.  crippled  themselves  by 
letting  vaulting  ambition  o'erleap  itself  in  the  matter  of  big 
stakes  just  as  our  associations  did.  On  the  top  of  the  natural 
falling  off  in  the  intensity  of  the  racing  boom  has  come  the 
business  depression,  making  matters  materially  worse,  and 
but  one  upshot  was  possible.  Perhaps  it  may  be  on  the 
strength  of  miserv  liking  company  that  the  news  of  the  Aus- 
tralians being  in  a  similar  plight  to  ourselves  is  acceptable, 
but  at  any  rate  it  must  be  confessed  that  there  is  some  satis- 
faction in  hearing  that  we  are  not  the  only  nation  whose  turf 
has  experienced  some  falling  off. 


The  Mighty  Surinam. 

*  This  great  race  horse  and  phenomerally  successful  young 
sire  will  make  the  season  of  1894  at  the  Hope  Glen  Farm  of 
T.  W.  Moore,  near  Santa  Barbara,  Cal.,  at  the  more  than 
reasonable  service  fee  of  $75. 

Surinam  must,  in  a  spirit  of  fairness,  be  considered  one  of 
the  best  youDg  sires  in  America.  Three  of  his  colts  have 
appeared  on  the  turf,  and  all  have  proved  victorious.  This 
is  a  grand  showing,  truly,  especially  when  one  of  these  is 
known  to  be  Armiiage,  winner  of  four  straight  races  against 
the  cracks  of  the  East  last  season,  and  sold  at  auction  to 
Richard  Croker,  of  New  York,  for  $8,000,  considered  to  be 
less  than  half  his  true  value.  Surinam  is  by  the  great  Joe 
Hooker  (sire  of  Yo  Tambien  and  Tormentor),  dam  Ada  C. 
(dam  of  Ballot  Box,  Pill  Box.  Narcola,  Sacramento  and 
Conner),  by  Revenue  (sire  of  Planet  and  best  son  of  imp. 
Trustee).  He  will  make  great  fame  in  the  stud  because  he  is 
bred  right.  Authorities  on  breeding  are  almost  unanimous 
in  stating  that  the  great  mares  in  a  pedigree  count  for  more 
than  the  stallions.  Observe  the  famous  matrons  that  figure 
in  Surinam's  pedigree:  Mollie  Jackson  (queen  of  the  turf  in 
her  day  and  dam  of  Monday  and  Fannie  Ludlow,  latter 
grandam  of  the  mighty  Foxhall),  Topaz  (d.im  of  Lodi,  Col  ton 
and  Rivoli),  Hennie  Farrow  (dam  of  Mollie  McCarty,  Flood, 
Shanuon,  Electra,  Mayflower  and  Mirni),  Emma  (dam  of 
two  Derby  winners  in  England  and  of  Mowerioa,  dam  of 
West  Australian,  the  triple  crown  winner),  Alice  Carneal 
(Jam  of  Lexington,  Maid  of  Orleans  and  Umpire),  Bees- 
wing's dam,  Sallie  Morgan  (dam  of  great  Panic,  Miss  Mor- 
gan and  Dolly  Morgan,  latter  dam  of  Bob  Miles,  Pearl  Thorn 
and  Stampede).  From  the  Sallie  Morgan  family  came  Miss 
Ford,  Reporter,  Bonnie  Meade,  Earbary,  Tarantula,  Bettioa, 
Zoo  Zoo,  Matagorda,  Rightaway,  Gallifet,  Tom  Paxton' 
Bric-a-Brac,  Princess  Lorraine,  General  Monroe,  Fosteral 
and  many  others  of  note.  Surinam's  tenth  dam  was  the 
famous  imp.  Cub  mare,  by  Cub,  to  whom  very  many  of  the 
greatest  racers  in  this  country  trace.  Surinam  was  a  stake- 
winner  East  and  West.  He  has  the  following  grand  strains 
of  blood  in  his  make-up,  which  will  show  why  he  should 
make  an  exceptionally  good  sire,  when  the  grand  mares 
mentioned  above  are  also  considered :  Touchstone,  Bay 
Middleton,  Whisker  (two  crosses),  Glencoe  (two  crosses'!, 
Blacklock  (two  crosses),  Emilius,  Sir  Archy  (two  crosses),' 
Lexington,  Muley  (two  crosses),  imp.  Eclipse,  imp.  Trustee 
and  Vandal.  Surinam  is  not  only  "  bred  in  the  purple,"  but 
is  a  grand  individual. 

Surinam  was  an  unfortunate  two-year-old.  In  two  stake 
races  he  finished  first,  but  was  disqualified  for  fouling.  In 
one,  the  California  Annual,  he  ran  a  mile  in  l:42f,  but  the 
race  was  given  to  Snowdrop.  However,  there  was  no  claim 
of  foul  in  the  Autumn  Stake,  one  mile,  which  he  captured 
in  1:44-1,  beating  Snowdrop,  Canny  Scott,  Geraldine  and 
Belero.  He  helped  force  out  Geraldine  in  0:48},  the  best 
time  ever  made  for  half  a  mile  by  a  two-year-old  on  the 
Coast,  and  ran  second  in  one  other  race.  As  a  three-year- 
old  Surinam  started  five  times,  and  won  on  three  occasions. 
He  placed  to  his  credit  the  Tidal  Stakes,  118  pounds  up, 
mile  and  a  quarter,  over  a  heavy  track  in  2:13  :  won  Pacific 
Derby  119  pounds  up,  mile  and  a  half,  in  2:38],  easily  beat- 
ing Peel  and  five  others.  Surinam  was  taken  East,  and  on 
his  first  appearance  at  Monmouth  Park  ran  third  to  Firenzi 
and  Exile  in  the  Harvest  Handicap,  the  three-year-old  car- 
rying 106  to  Firenzi's  118  as  a  four-year-old.  Behind 
Surinam  were  Eurus,  Connemara,  Pirate  and  Favor,  all  high- 
class  stake  horses.  He  next  ran  fourth  in  the  Navesink 
Handicap,  won  by  Connemara  in  2:35^,  Firenzi  second, 
Eurus  third.  The  winner,  four  years  old,  carried  but  100 
pounds,  Surinam,  three  years,  1(4  pounds.  Surinam  wound 
up  the  racing  season  by  winning  a  handicap  sweepstakes  at 
Monmouth,  beating  Aretino,  Montague,  Connemara,  Goano, 
Boaz  and  The  Bourbon,  1}  miles  in  2:09£,  carrying  105 
pounds  to  Aretino's  98,  he  an  aged  horse.  Surinam  was  then 
sent  to  the  stud,  where  he  is  proving  a  wonderful  sire. 

The  correspondent  at  New  Orleans  for  the  New  York 
Spirit  of  the  Times  contributes  the  following,  which  will  be 
read  with  interest  by  local  racegoers:  "Bookmaker  Riley 
Grannan  received  a  dispatch  yesterday  from  President  Tom 
Williams  of  the  California  Jockey  Club,  announcing  that  he 
(Grannan)  had  been  reinstated.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
Grannan  was  ruled  off  out  there  about  a  month  ago,  not  for 
fraud,  but  for  refusal  to  give  names  in  connection  with  parties 
who  made  certain  corrupt  overtures.  Jockey  Miller,  ruled 
off  at  the  same  time  with  Grannan,  has  also  been  reinstated. 
It  may  be  mentioned  here  that  a  petition  sent  on  to  San  Fran- 
cisco in  favor  of  Grannao's  reinstatement  was  signed  by  the 
judges  and  other  officials  at  the  Fair  graunds  here.  Grannan, 
who  is  quite  a  plunger  at  times,  will  make  a  book  along  the 
Western  line."  Grannan,  it  will  be  remembered,  was  accused 
of  "  doing  business  "  with  dishonest  trainers — in  other  words, 
acting  as  horse  undertaker  (handling  "stiffs").  He  courted 
an  investigation,  and  when  before  the  Board  of  Stewards  de- 
clared that  while  he  had  never  connived  wiih  dishonest  horse- 
men, certain  trainers  had  tried  to  get  him  to  lay  against  their 
horses,  who,  for  a  consideration,  would  be  guaranteed  dead  to 
the  world  for  the  time  being.  Grannan  refused  to  give  the 
names  of  the  robbers  that  had  approached  him.and  was  ruled 
off  for  keeping  silence  in  the  matter.  He  has  surely  been 
sufficiently  punished  for  his  indiscreetness,  and  his  many 
friends  will  rejoice  at  his  reinstatement. 

In  the  Bowling  Brook  Handicap  Dobbins,  of  course,  has 
top  weight,  128  pounds,  giving  Hornpipe  4  pounds,  Sir  Excess 
5  and  Lazzarone  8.  Arraitage  seems  to  have  been  quite 
kindly  treated,  as  he  gets  in  with  only  113  pounds,  which  is 
decidedly  light  on  his  best  form.  Mr.  Mclntyre,  for  some 
reason,  does  not  make  public  the  weights  for  the  Fort  Hamil- 
ton Handicap,  which  is  the  parallel  event  to  the  Bowling 
Brook. 

The  weights  for  the  California  Theatre  Handicap,  one 
mile,  were  announced  yesterday.  They  are  as  follows:  Wild- 
wood  127,  Stromboli  122,  Joe  Murphy  112,  Glee  Boy  110, 
Sir  Reel  110,  Prince  Henry  104,  Rear  Guard  100,  Tyro  103, 
Centella  100,  Pescador  100,  Happy  Day  100,  Gussie  99,  Mon- 
owai  97,  Comrade  95,  Yo  El  Rey  95,  Una  Colorado  95,  Dana 
95,  Garcia  100,  Granada  90,  Carmel  90,  Fluny  75  and  Mari- 
gold 90. 

James  F.  Caldwell  has  been  engaged  to  do  the  starting 
at  Brighton  Beach  this  season,  at  the  rate  of  $150  per  day. 
He  can  fill  the  berth  on  all  but  six  days  of  the  meeting, 
when  he  will  have  to  be  at  Saratoga,  and  the  flag  will  prob- 
ably be  entrusted  to  Jim  Clare.

M  <nbars  goes  at  the  pace  easier  than  he  did  at  trotting. 

Don't  drive  a  promising  colt  to  death  just  for  the  pleasure 
of  seeing  him  go.  

Lke  Sha.ver  has  about  thirty-five  horses  in  his  string  at 
the  Sacramento  race  track. 

J.  Gooby  is  handling  a  number  of  extremely  well-bred 
colts  and  fillies  for  T.  W.  Moore. 

The  average  length  of  a  horse's  body  is  only  two  and  a 
half  times  the  length  of  the  head. 

There  is  talk  of  forming  a  Gentleman's  Driving  Club  at 
San  Jose.  Such  an  organization  would  be  a  most  successful 
one.  

Billy  Yiooet  says  be  has  a  two-year-old  by  Wild  Boy 
that  will  be  a  surprise  in  the  two-year-old  district  races  this 
fall.  

George  Starr  is  to  have  the  pacer  S.  R.  2:181,  by  Al- 
monarch.  A  good  judge  rates  him  as  apt  to  step  a  mile  in 
2:0S.  

As  armor  has  been  invented  by  a  Hagerstown,  Md.,  man 
that  effectually  prevents  pneumatic  tires  from  being

John  Goldsmith  will  have  Siva,  the  winner  of  the  Mer- 
chants' and  Manufacturers'  Stake  at  Detroit  in  1393,  in  his 
stable  this  season. 

Beautifcl  Bells  and  Alma  Mater  were  both  foaled  in 
1872.  The  first  named  has  seven  of  her  produce  in  the  2:30 
list  and  Alma  Mater  eight. 

MESSRS.  C.  P.  Larned  and  A.  C.  Lloyd,  Detroit,  have 
bought  the  pacing  stallion  Palo  Alto  Chimes,  2:17*,  by 
Chimes,  and  will  place  him  in  the  stud. 

Most  horsemen  contend  that  the  four-year-old  form  is  the 
most  unsatisfactory  in  the  trotter's  life.  Yet  the  fastest  stal- 
lion in  the  world  has  a  four-year-old  mark. 

H.  J.  Agnew,  of  the  Agnew  Stock  Farm,  has  met  with  a 
serious  loss  in  the  death  of  a  fine  filly  (from  influenza),  by 
Dawn,  2:183,  dam  Aurelia,  by  Albert  W.,  2:20,  the  sire  of 
Little  Albert,  2:10.  

James  Cox  of  Mt.  Jackson,  Va.,  has  sold  to  St.  Clair  & 
Curry  of  Lexington,  Silvan,  the  six-year-old  brother  to  Silver- 
one,  2.19},  by  Alcyone,  out  of  Silver  Lock,  who  is  the  grand- 
dam  of  Silicon,  2.15$.      

The  opportunity  to  get  first-class  trotters,  roadsters  and 
campaigners  will  be  when  H.  W.  Crabb  sells  all  of  his 
choicely  bred  mares,  colts,  geldings  and  fillies  at  Napa  on  the 
twenty-first  of  February. 

A.  B.  Spreckels'  trotters  and  pacers  that  are  in  charge  of 
James  Nolan,  the  well-known  trainer  at  the  Oakland  track, 
are  looking  well,  and,  unless  we  are  much  mistaken,  he  has  a 
few  phenomenal  ones  among  them. 

Joh>'  Greek  {"Red")  intends  starting  a  public  stable  at 
the  Oakland  Trotting  Park  during  the  latter  part  of  Febru- 
ary. He  will  have  Bishop  Hero  ready  for  any  five-mile  horse 
that  will  be  matched  against  him  this  year. 

R.  D.  Fox,  owner  of  Chancellor,  2:21  and  Mt.  Hope,  by 
Sable  Wilkes,  2:18,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  has  a  yearling  filly 
by  Rupee,  2:11,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  a  full  sister  to 
Chancellor,  2:21,  that  is  likelv  to  be  in  the  yearling  races  this 
fall.  ' 

Four  associations  in  France  gave  a  total  in  purses  the  past 
season  of  $90,500  for  trotting  races.  This  shows  conclusively 
how  fast  a  taste  for  the  sport  is  growing  in  that  country, which 
we  hope  to  see  yet  become  a  good  market  for  the  best  Ameri- 
can trotters.  

The  youngsters  by  Direct  that  are  being  worked  at  Pleas- 
anton  are  fulfilling  the  expectations  of  their  owner,  and  he 
wear:-  a  broad  smile  whenever  he  thinks  of  how  he  will  as- 
tonish the  boys  a  little  when  he  sends  these  trotters  and  pacers 
down  the  Eastern  circuit. 

TfilB  is  an  age  of  progressive  breeding,  and  the  light  around 
the  edge  of  this  list  of  the  great  ones  who  are  dead  and  gone 
is  that  they  have  left  still  greater  ones  to  fill  their  places,  and 
that  their  sons  and  daughters,  true  to  their  blood  lines,  will 
equal  and  surpass  them  in  speed  production. 

How  many  yearlings,  two  or  three-year-olds  did  you  start  to 
train  last  season  that  you  were  compelled  to  let  up  in  their 
work  because  they  went  wrong  in  their  legs?  Think  it  all 
over  before  you  begin  to  work  on  your  youngsters  this  |  season 
and  resolve  to  be  a  little  bit  easier  on  them. 

A  OOHTEKPOBABY  tritely  says:  The  time  toadvertise  your 
stallion  is  now  while  owners  are  discussing  with  each  other 
the  most  desirable  horses  with  which  to  mate  their  mares  in 
thespring.  If  the  name  of  your  horse  is  not  kept  before 
them  they  may  forget  that  he  is  in  the  country. 

'  km  nf  the  most  noticeable  features  of  the  table  of  1803, 
aside  from  the  strength  of  the  Mambrino  Patchen  blood,  is 
the  showing  made  by  Blue  Bull  mares  and  the  commanding 
ing  position  taken  by  Alrnont  through  eight  of  his  own 
daughters  and  nineteen  of  his  grandaughters. 

II.  Hogoboom  has  Waldslein,  his  highly-bred  and  game 
trotting  Mallion  looking  belter  than  he  baa  been  for  years.  It 
ia  hardly  likely  that  he  will  trot  him  on  the  circuit  this  year, 
however,  as  he  baa  :i  number  of  very  promising  trotters 
(t<ome  by  Waldatein)  at  Woodland,  preparing  them  for  the 
races    this  fall.

Horsemek  who  are  looking  for  first-class  material  to  win

Napa  on  the  21st  inst.     There  is  not  a  cull  in  the  collection. 


Ik  pacing,  the  gelding  is  one  and  a  half  seconds  faster  than 
either  the  mare  or  stallion,  but  in  trotting  the  gelding  is  five 
and  three-quarter  seconds  slower  than  the  mare  or   stallion. 

Bessemer  (p),  2:13},  by  Voltaire,  dam  by  Concord,  since 
he  was  gelded,  has  been  doing  nicely,  and  he  is  expected  by 
his  owners  to  be  among  the  fastest  pacers  for  1894.  He  is 
still  a  young  horse,  and,  if  no  accident  befalls  him,  he  should 
prove  fully  equal  to  their  expectations. 

At  the  auction  sale  of  horses  for  the  Hollywood  Stock

Johk  Bury,  two-year-old  record,  2:37,  by  Antinous,  2:28A, 
dam  Muldoon,  by  George  M.  Patchen,  Jr.,  2:27o,  the  dam  of 
C.  W.  S.,  2.27,  arrived  Thursday  from  Gilroy  and  was  placed 
in  charge  of  C.  F.  Bunch,  Manager  of  the  Vendome  Stable, 
on  Thursday.  He  has  been  entered  in  the  free-for-all  three- 
year-olds  race  and  also  in  the  2:27  class  for  three-year-olds. 
He  is  the  property  of  ex-Supervisor  Samuel  Rea. 

The  Vigo  Agricultural  Society  published  the  following  an- 
nouncement that  of  their  purses  and  stakes  for  the  four  days' 
meeting  to  be  held  in  August  will  be  larger  than  ever  before. 
There  will  be  three  futurity  trotting  stakes.  No.  1,  for  foals 
of  1890,  is  guaranteed  for  $11,000.  There  has  now  teen  paid 
in  $10,500,  and  the  probable  value  on  the  day  of  the  race  is 
put  at  $13,000.  No.  2,  for  foals  of  1891,  is  guaranteed  for 
$11,500,  all  of  which  has  been  paid  in,  and  it  is  probable  that 
the  value  will  be  put  at  $14,000.  No.  3,  for  foals  of  1892,  is 
guaranteed  for  $10,000.  The  society  also  announces  that 
there  will  be  five  pacing  and  ten  trotting  stakes,  to  close 
April  1st.  None  will  be  for  less  than  '$1,000  excepting  the 
yearlings. — Terre  Haute  Express. 

With  the  issue  of  February  1  the  publication  of  Wallace's 
Monthly  ceased.  Started  by  John  H.  Wallace  in  1875,  the 
journal  made  its  critical  mark,  and  was,  in  1S91,  with  the 
rest  of  the  Register  plant,  transferred  to  the  ownership  of  the 
American  Trotting  Register  Association,  in  whose  hands  it 
has  since  proved  a  possession  involving  financial  loss.  During 
the  earlier  period  of  its  existence  complete  summaries  of  all 
races  trotted  and  paced  in  the  United  States  were  published 
from  month  to  month  as  received,  and  from  this  feature, 
amongst  others,  was  evolved  the  Year-BooK.  The  practice 
was  maintained  subsequent  to  the  institution  of  the  vork 
of  reference,  the  plates  from  which  the  summaries  were 
printed  being  preserved  and  utilized  in  its  production. 

At  the  sale  of  horses  belonging  to  the  estate  of  Wm.  H. 
Graves,  deceased,  which  took  place  at  the  Napa  race  track 
last  Saturday,  the  attendance  was  very  slim  and  bidding  on 
the  animals  very  slow,  consequently  the  prices  realized  were 
far  below  the  expectations  of  the  executors.  Prince  Royal 
(full  brother  to  Alexandre,  2:161),  by  Dexter  Prince,  out  of 
Priucess  by  Nutwood,  was  sold  to  Walter  Maben  for  $135. 
Col.  Moorhead,  of  San  Jose,  secured  another  bargain  for  $400 
when  he  purchased  Anna  Belle,  2:27  J-,  by  Dawn;  Walter 
Maben  purchased  Anna  Belle's  filly  by  Sidney  for  $310 ; 
John  Even  paid  $150  for  the  filly  Aztec,  by  Azmoor;  J.  J. 
Crooks  purchased  Lady  Washington,  by  George  Washington, 
2:20,  out  of  Lucy,  2:29,  for  $120.  The  balance  of  the  animals 
sold  for  prices  ranging  from  $40  to  $S0. 

Some  of  the  old  horsemen  recall  that  the  sire  of  Nelson,  as 
a  two-year-old,  was  thought  so  little  of  that  his  owners  had 
sent  for  a  veterinary  to  come  and  castrate  him.  The  surgeon 
threw  him  down  and  said  he  was  a  ridgling,  and  that  the 
operation  could  not  be  performed  at  that  time.  He  was  of- 
feaed  for  sale  at  a  very  low  price,  and  yet  he  subsequently 
proved  his  worth  by  becoming  the  sire  of  our  Northern  King, 
Nelson,  2:09 ;  Aubine,  Daisy  Rolfe,  Medora,  Mountaineer  and 
Present,  and  demonstrated  that  he  was  quite  a  horse  as  a  sire, 
besides  obtaining  a  record  of  2:21}  away  back  when  that  time 
was  as  good  as  2:10  or  2:12  is  at  this  time,  if  he  had  lived 
be  could  have  beaten  his  record  and  there  are  many  who  be- 
lieve he  could  have  done  it  the  day  be  dropped  dead  if  he  had 
been  given  his  head  and  had  been  given  a  more  rein  and 
allowed  a  little  more  chance  to  breathe. — Kennebec  Journal. 


Evraud,  by  Eros,  dam  Whisp,  by  Whippleton,  wasa  great 
yearling,  and  won  his  race  in  impressive  style.  He  could 
trot  eighths  in  17A  seconds  that  year.  He  should  be  a  great 
three-year-  M,  as  James  Bcrryrnan,  who  is  now  working  him, 
saya  he  can  irot  faster  than  any  horse  he  has  ever  driven,  aad 
Mr.  Berryman  hasdr.iven  some  very  fast  ones.  Eyraud  will 
be  sold  at  Mr.  Crabb's  Napa  sale. 


A  correspoxdekt  of  this  paper  who  visited  the  To-Kalon 
Stock  Farm  last  week,  says  "there  are  more  fine-looking, 
well-made,  perfectly-trained,  sound  and  stylish-looking  mares 
and  geldings  there  suitable  for  either  track  or  road  than  at  any 
stock  farm  in  California.  Matched  teams  of  bays,  browns  or 
blacks,  speedy  trotters  that  are  individually  excellent  and 
coltsaud  fillies  which  for  size  and  conformation  irrespective 
of  their  good  breeding  are  a  credit  to  their  breeder  and  own- 
er. There  is  not  a  cull  among  them.  Mr.  Crabb  made  it  a 
point  to  never  feed  a  colt  that  was  badly-formed  or  had  any 
visible  blemishes  or  invisible  weaknesses.  Consequently  he 
has  kept  in  the  front  rank  so  far  as  his  breeding  operations 
are  concerned.  The  sale  of  these  auimals  together  with  a  few 
others  equally  as  well-bred  and  as  fine-looking  should  draw  a 
large  number  of  people  who,  as  soon  as  they  see  this  stock, 
will  be  anxious  to  become  buyers." 

The  Los  Gafos  Trotting  Association  is  a  thing  of  life,  as 
might  naturally  be  expected  of  the  Gem  City.  Its  directors 
arc  H.  D.  Johnson,  Fenn  Massol,  W.  B.  Rankin  and  Douglas 
Roberts.  They  have  constructed  a  very  excellent  half-mile 
track  convenient  to  the  city,  and  their  first  race  meeting  of 
importance  was  last  Thanksgiving  Day,  when  there  were 
some  000  or  700  people  in  attendance.  They  have  arranged 
quite  an  elaborate  programme  for  the  22nd  of  this  month, 
which  is  attracting  horsemen  in  San  Jose  and  elsewhere,  and 
there  is  every  reason  to  predict  a  large  attendance.  There 
will  bo  6ve  races;  two  running,  two  trotting,  and  one  pacing, 
which  should  ensure  a  good  afternoon's  sport.  The  running 
will  consist  of  a  quarter  and  repeat,  free-for-all,  and  a  half- 
mile  dash.  The  pacing  will  be  for  named  horses,  and  it  is 
probable  that  several  San  Jose  animals  will  be  included.  The 
trotting  will  include  a  three-minute  class,  for  horses  owned 
in  and  about  Lee  QatOS,  and  a  free-for-all  for  Los  Gatos 
horses.  C.  F.  Bunch  and  H.  G.  Cox  are  each  preparing  one 
or  more  horses  for  these  races. 


Monroe  Salisbury  has  purchased  the  trotting  mare 
Woodene,  by  Woodnut,  2:16},  from  Mrs.  Hollenbeck,  with 
the  intention  of  campaigning  her  in  the  East.  C.  H.  Corey 
campaigned  her  last  year,  and  it  is  claimed  that  she  could  go 
a  m»le  better  than  2:20.  It  is  her  great  speed  without  a  rec- 
ord that  attracted  Mr.  Salisbury's  attention,  as  he  can  start 
her  in  all  races  from  the  three-minute  class  up.  It  is  under- 
stood a  fancy  price  was  paid  for  her. 

The  DuBois  brothers  have  leased  the  Overland  Park  for 
a  summer  race  meeting,  which  will  begin  on  June  9th  and 
continue  throughout  the  following  week.  The  purses  and 
stakes  will  run  up  $25,000  or  $30,000  and  the  meeting,  which 
will  be  mostly  for  trotters  and  pacers,  will  be  the  best  ever 
given  in  Denver.  Already  a  great  number  of  horses  in  Kan- 
sas and  Nebraska  have  been  secured  and  nearly  every  trotting 
horse  man  in  Colorado  will  have  something  here.  The  far 
Western  horsemen  need  just  such  a  meeting  as  this  to  prepare 
their  horses  and  open  the  summer  campaign.  With  $30,000 
in  sight  the  event  will  attract  evjry  horse  owner  west  of  the 
river  and  it  is  quite  likely  that  some  of  the  Eastern  cracker- 
jacks  will  be  engaged  to  come  out  for  exhibition  purposes. 
The  meeting  will  surely  be  a  success  and  the  lessees  will  pay 
every  dollar  of  money  that  may  be  won.  This  fact  will  be 
counted  upon. — Field  and  Farm. 


Harry  Schultz  is  located  at  Fleetwood  track  with  fifteen 
head  of  highly-bred  colts  and  fillies,  the  property  of  Charles 
Robinson,  of  the  Robinson  Farm,  Fishkill  Plains.  They  are 
an  extra  good  lot  and  are  very  promising,  among  them  being 
Trion,  by  Azmoor,  2:20£,  out  of  the  gray  pacing  mare  Lucy, 
2:14.  This  colt  is  a  three-year-old  and  shows  quality  at  every 
point  and  with  his  gilt-edged  breeding  ought  to  be  a  bread 
winner.  Others  in  this  lot  are  Lilly  Cobb,  3,  by  Lottery, 
out  of  the  dam  of  Cobwebs,  2:29*  ;  a  tbree-year-old  colt  by 
Wild  Boy,  out  of  a  mare  by  Ansel;  a  three-year-old  colt  by 
Beverly,  out  of  the  dam  of  Don  Marvin  ;  a  three-year-old 
by  Starlight,  out  of  an  Electioneer  mare;  a  three-year-old 
filly  by  Alcantara,  dam  by  Marksman;  a  three-year-old  filly 
by  Electioneer,  dam  by  Homer;  Belle  Bradford,  2:32£,  by 
Dexter  Bradford,  out  of  the  dam  of  Barkis  11,387  ;  a  three- 
year-old  colt  by  Stambou),  2:07A,  out  of  the  dam  of  Mista, 
2:29  and  Dubec,  2:19,  by  California  Dexter.  Here  is  a  string 
of  extra  good  young  things  that  ought  to  make  quite  a  repu- 
tation for  their  owner. — Horse  Review. 


In  these  days  to  bring  colts  to  a  speedy  point  as  quick  as 
possible,  hurried  breaking  .is  to  be  deprecated.  The  rudi- 
ments of  good  behavior  in  harness  should  be  taught  in  the 
primary  lessons.  Many  have  thrown  away  the  dumb  jockey 
and  cruel  biting  rig  and  started  to  work  the  colt  before  he 
knew  the  full  use  of  the  bit,  reins  and  words  of  command. 
Consequently  the  youngster  is  unfitted  for  pleasure  driving, 
and  at  trying  times  on  the  track  is  positively  unsafe.  Thor- 
ough breaking  is  best  for  track  and  road  purposes.  Step  by 
step  let  the  colt  grow  familiar  with  the  halter,  then  the  light 
trotting  harness,  for  twenty  minutes  or  so  daily.  Do  not 
torture  him  with  a  rigid  check  and  sharp  bit  for  hours  at  a 
time.  Iu  the  course  of  two  ox  three  weeks  give  him  a  few 
lessons  with  lines,  and  later  put  him  between  a  pair  of  poles, 
preparatory  to  going  in  harness  to  a  very  light  rigor  hitched 
alongside  a  weil-broken  horse.  Presently  gaiting  begins,  and 
now  the  utmost  watchfulness  is  needed  to  use  such  shoes, 
boots,  bits  and  checks  as  will  enable  the  pupil  to  find  his  best 
gait.  In  some  cases,  no  matter  what  skillful  experiments  are 
brought  into  play,  the  colt  will  trot  very  awkwardly  but  pace 
fast  and  smooth.  The  speed  should  be  cultivated  as  tnis 
gait  by  very  light  shoeing  in  front,  say  three  ounces  or  tips 
and  a  six -ounce  shoe  behind. 


Secretary  Morse  sent  out  to-day  announcements  that  the 
sixteenth  biennial  congress  of  the  National  Trotting  Associa- 
tion will  begin  at  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel  on  February  14. 
The  most  important  work  will  be  to  consummate,  if  possible, 
reciprocal  action  on  matters  affecting  the  trotting  turf  with 
the  American  Trotting  Association.  If  the  sentiment  of  the 
special  congress  called  in  Jnne  is  a  true  indication  of  the 
feelings  of  the  National  Association  members,  the  plans  to 
work  in  accord  will  be  voted  down  and  all  the  reforms 
projected  by  the  American  Association,  in  expectation  of 
joint  action  in  supporting  them,  will  .be  given  a  black  eye- 
Almost  all  the  changes,  notably  the  abolishing  of  the  tin-cup 
record  races,  meet  with  the  approval  of  the  National  As- 
sociation members.  The  hitch  is  over  the  change  in  the 
distance.  At  the  special  congress  last  June  a  strong  fight 
was  made  against  shortening  the  distance  by  Wm.  B.  Fasig, 
ex-Governor  Morgan  G.  Bulkeley  and  others.  It  was  a  hot 
night  and  their  fervent  appeals  not  to  alter  the  old  order  of 
things,  backed  up  by  the  fiery  June  weather,  melted  away  all 
arguments  advanced  by  the  supporters  of  mutual  action. 
President  Johnson  made  a  plea  for  co  operation  with  the 
American  Association,  but  his  arguments  were  of  no  avail 
against  the  opposition.  To  gain  time  the  matter  was  sent 
over  to  the  approaching  congress.  What  will  be  the  fate  of  | 
the  reforms  remains  to  be  seen. 


B.  O.  Van  Bokkelen  of  Salem  advises  us  that  he  willM 
soon  move  to  the  track  at  Agricultural  Park,  San  Jose.    He| 
now  has  in  charge  Walter,  a  gray  gelding,  2:26]  ;  Daisy  D.,  a 
three-year-old    filly,  by  Altamont,  dam  by  Woodbury ;  San 
Germang,  a  black  stallion,  by  Hermes,  dam   True   Love,  byi] 
Peacemaker,  second  dam  by  Volunteer.     He  has  also  a  very 
promising  three-year-old   pacing  filly  named   Addie  R.,  by 
Adirondack,  dam  by  Rockwood.     Great  things  are  expecte 
of  these,  as  well  as  of  others  that  will  be  soon  added  to  hit 
string.     Mr.  Van  Bokkelen  has   had  his  former  experieno 
in   the  Eastern   stables,  having  previous  to   1890  made  hifl 
home  at  different  periods  in    Baltimore,  Md.,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,1 
and  Chicago,  111.     In  1890  he  moved  to  Kent,  Wash.,  neail 
Seattle,  where  he  planned  and  superintended  the  building  oil 
the  Kent  race  track,  it  being  of  the  kite  pattern  and  considJ 
sidered  one  of  the  finest  tracks  in  the  West.     He  then  movei' 
to  Salem,  Oregon,  where  he  has  followed  the  profession  fod 
the  past  two  years.    Among  the  celebrated  horses  that  he  ha 
had  iu  his  charge  at  various  times  are  the  following :     Holm-

cashed  in  a  ticket  on  the  colt  calling  for  $153. 

Marigold's  victory  Friday  was  a  very  popular  one,  as 
Matt  Storn  is  much  liked  here  and  had  not  been  playing  in 
very  good  luck  during  the  past  three  or  four  months. 

Bookmaker  Eckert  is  getting  quite  a  good  string  to-

Veracity,  by  Wanderer,  was  sold  at  auction  yesterday  at  Bay 
District  track  to  Mr.  Merriweather  for  $250.  If  looks  go  for 
anything  this  fellow  should  win  many  a  race.

We  would  like  to  see  the  local  racing  associations  take  the 
leal  in  having  no  races  of  ooder  a  mile  for  three-year-olds 
3r  over  after  the  1st  day  of  March.  This  would  result  in  im- 
proving the  breed  of  race  horses  and  at  the  same  time  please

Dr.  W.  G.  Ross,  who  bought  Ormonde  for  W.  O'B.  Mac 
onough,  has  sued  the  youog  millionaire  for  $46,000.  Mac- 
onough  says  he  will  fight  the  case.  Dr.  Ross  declares  that 
lacdonough  contracted  to  pay  all  his  traveling  expenses, 
500  a  mont'ii  for  three  years  and  furnish  him  with  a  house  to

:    iat  he  ever  made  such  a  contract. 


C.  M.  Dollison,  the  well-known  horseman,  and  A.  W. 
[axwell,  formerly  of  the  Vance  House  Bar,  Eureka,  Hum- 
Mt  County,  have  taken  charge  of  the  South  Park  race  track

oliison.  The  former  will  cooduct  the  hotel,  while  the  latter 
ill  attend  to  the  track  and  stables,  a  position  for  which  he  is 
ell  fitted.  The  people  of  Humboldt  may  look  lor  increased 
terest  in  racing  matters  in  consequence  of  this  change. 


Charles  Kerr  felt  about  as  proud  over  Semele's  victory 
on  Friday  as  Barney  Schreiber,  her  owner,  for  he  bred  the 
filly.  Semele  is  a  full  sister  to  Crawford,  being  by  Apache, 
dam  Emma  Longfield,  by  Long6eld.  Only  a  few  Apaches 
have  appeared  in  public,  but  every  one  has  proved  a  winner. 

Red  Bird  will  scarcely  be  at  50  to  1  in  the  betting  again 
in  the  next  few  weeks  This  colt's  dam,  Fannie  Johnson, 
wis  twenty-five  years  old  when  she  foaled  him,  and  was  a 
race  mare]  of  considerable  note  in  her  earlier  days.  Red 
Bird  is  showing  marked  improvement  in  Orville  Appleby's 
skillful  hands. 

The  good  race  horse  Sir  Matthew  died  Monday  at  Lex- 
ington, Ky  He  belonged  to  Marcus  Daly,  was  five  years  old 
and  by  imp.  Sir  Modred,  dam  Embroidery,  by  Virgil.  Sir 
Matthew  was  p  very  fast  horse,  winning  four  races  in  1893, 
beating,  among  others,  Kingston,  Highland,  Mary  Stone, 
Longstreet  and  Terrifier. 

John  A.  Morris  arrived  at  New  Orleans  from  Tampa 
Monday  and  went  with  Wyudham  Walden  to  his  farm  in 
Texas.  They  went  to  have  a  look  at  the  yearlings  and  to  see 
what  mares  they  will  mate  with  St.  Florian  and  the  other 
sires.  Ambulance  and  Reckon  are  among  the  mares  on  the 
Texas  farm. — Daily  America. 

The  race  meeting  at  New  Orleans  is  the  most  successful 
ever  held  in  that  city.  There  are  so  many  horses  of  the  class 
known  as  "  skates'"  quartered  at  the  track  'hat  there  are  as 
many  as  half  a  hundred  of  them  entered  in  the  cheap  selling 
races.  Not  more  than  fifteen  are  allowed  to  start  in  a  race. 
The  rejected  ones  are  compelled  to  wait  for  their  turn  to  be 
accepted. 

We  understand  Morello,  the  great,  will  be  bred  to  a  num- 
ber of  approved  thoroughbred  mares  in  the  near  future,  and 
may  be  quartered  at  Souther  Farm.  Morello  is  bred  right 
for  a  sire,  tracing  to  Eclipse  in  the  direct  Jmale,  while  his 
dam  traces  on  her  sire's  side  to  the  great  female  line  of 
Herod.  Imp.  Australian,  sire  of  his  second  dam,  is  a  direct 
male  descendant  of  Matchem,  founder  of  the  third  great 
family  of  racehorses. 

Big  as  Lucky  Dog  was  as  a  two-year-old,  he  is  still  grow- 
ing. He  now  stands  about  16.1  hands  and  weighs  over  1,100 
pounds.  He  shows  no  end  of  quality  and  seems  to  like  a 
distaoce.  As  things  now  look,  the  horse  that  beats  him  in  the 
rich  American  Derbyjwill  get  the  largest  slice  of  money.  Lucky 
Dog  will  be  given  a  rest  of  two  months,  and  will  then  be  put 
through  a  systematic  course  of  training  for  his  Eastsrn  cam- 
paign. 

The  sale  of  H.  D.  Brown's  horses  on  Friday  at  Bay  Dis- 
trict track  was  well  attended,  though  the  betting  was  not  very 
spirited.  Fred  Parker,  ch  g  (by  Capt.  Jinks — Fanny  Sim- 
mons), went  to  Jake  Abrahams  for  $115  ;  Flagstaff  to  E.  C. 
Sachs  at  $2 JO ;  Vulcan  to  "  Denver  "  Hayes  for  $50  and 
Quarterstaff  to  Bookmaker  Fiank  Eckert  at  §1,550.  Several 
bid  for  the  good  colt  last  named,  the  chief  bidders  being  Or- 
ville Appleby  and  Eckert.  Quarterslaff  is  a  great  buv  at 
$1,550.  

The  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club  has  added  to  its  programme 
of  races  for  the  Sheepshead  Bay  June  meeting  a  series  of 
steeplechases, which  will  tend  to  make  their  meeting  more  pop- 
ular than  ever.  The  steeplechases  and  hurdle  races  wi  11  include 
the  Coney  Island  Grand  National  Steeplechase  over  the  full 
steeplechase  course,  the  Bay  Hurdle  Race,  two  miles,  over 
eight  hurdles,  the  Hurdle  Selling  Stakes,  one  mile  and  a 
quarter,  over  five  hurdles,  and  the  Steeplechase  Selling  Stakes, 
over  the  short  steeplechase  coarse.  The  entries  for  these  will 
close  March  1st. 


Though  the  Liverpool  Grand  National  Steeplechase  is  not 
the  richest  of  England's  cross-country  events — its  £2500  being 
topped  £500  by  the  Great  Lancashire  Steeplechase  at  the 
Manchester  meeting — it  is  still  ihe  greatest  in  interest.  For 
this  year  the  entry  list  shows  sixty-two  subscribers,  eight  less 
than  last  year.  Cloister,  who  won  last  year  with  175  pounds 
up,  is  again  engaged.  Father  O'Flynn,  the  winner  in  1S92, 
and  Ilex,  winner  in  1890,  are  also' in  the  list.  The  honeH 
old  slave.  Why  Not,  a  regular  competitor,  will  try  again, with 
:  Esop.  These  two  were  third  and  second  last  year.  A  couple 
of  French  horses  make  up  the  foreign  contingent.  No  borse 
younger  than  five  years  old  is  engaged,  but  the  fives  make  a 
stronger  showing  than  usual.  The  race  will  be  run  Friday, 
March  30. 

The  cutting  down  of  the  purses  by  tbe  California  Jockey 
Club  folks  has  occasioned  no  little  dissatisfaction  among  the 
horsemen.  To  us  it  looks  as  if  the  association  should  have 
cut  the  purses  for  sprinters  down  long  ago  and  given  the  own- 
ers of  race  horses  about  tw*ce  as  much.  A  good  move  would 
be  to  give  $250  purses  for  races  of  five  furlongs  and  under 
six,  $300  for  six  furlongs  and  under  seveD,  $400  for  seven 
furlongs  and  under  a  mile  and  $500  for  races  of  a  mile  and 
up  to  a  mile  and  a  quarter,*600  and  over  for  races  at  a  longer 
distance  than  this.  $250  for  the  sprinters,  with  no  entrance 
fee,  would  be  very  popular,  and  owners  of  sure  enough  race 
horses  would  be  willing  to  pay  $10  to  enter.  It  is  all  bosh 
giving  the  owners  of  skyrockets  as  much  as  the  men  that  own 
horses  bred  to  go  the  route,  and  what  person  cares  to  look  at 
a  five-furloDg  dash  in  preference  to  a  race  at  over  a  mile? 
If  the  plan  here  outlined  would  not  prove  immensely  popular 
we  are  very  much  mistaken. 

What  is  presumed  to  be  the  most  valuable  yearling  in  the 
world,  a  brother  of  the  unbeaten  Domino,  was  measured  a 
few  days  since  under  the  English  rule — the  length  of  his 
head  being  taken  first  and  then  the  length  of  the  horse.  If 
the  latter  is  three  times  the  length  of  ihe  head  then  the  colt 
measured  has  a  perfect  conformation.  An  English  authority 
claims  9y9  highly-formed  horses  in  1,000  are  so  conformed. 
In  the  case  of  this  sensationally  bred  youngster  the  tape  line 
fitted  precisely  to  an  inch,  proving  the  trueness  of  the  English 
rule,  as  this  youngster  is  considered  a  model  in  everything, 
even  of  a  higher  type  than  his  matchless  brother,  whose  tri- 
umphs have  thrilled  the  turf  world.  Major  Thomas,  the 
breeder  of  this  youngster,  has  received  several  big  offers  for 
him,  but  he  has  not  accepted  any  tender  made.  It  is  likely 
that  he  purposes  to  do  as  he  did  with  King  Thomas — dispose 
of  Domino's  brother  at  his  next  yearling  sale,  and  by  thus  of- 
fering him  at  auction  give  all  the  racing  public  a  chance  to 
bid  on  this  very  bright,  prospective  racing  prize. 

The  weights  for  the  spring  handicaps  will,  in  the  absence 
of  live  racing  news,  be  eagerly  welcomed.  Probably  the 
point  that  will  cause  most  discussion  i?  that  the  top  weight 
has  been  kept  low  in  the  Metropolitan.  This  is  due  to  the 
fact  that  Mr.  Vosburgh  was  of  the  opinion  that  the  class 
represented  was  not  high  enough  to  warraat  him  in  putting 
Lamplighter,  the  top  weight,  above  12S  pounds.  In  this  the 
great  majority  of  practical  men  will  agree.  He  and  Mr.  Mc- 
Intyre  differ  little  in  this  respect,  and  they  also  agree  in  put- 
ting Clifford  second  in  receipt  of  five  pounds  in  each  case 
from  the  top-weight  end,  in  the  case  of  the  Brooklyn  conced- 
ing two  pounds  to  Sir  Walter.  Banquet  gets  in  rather  better 
"  on  his  native  heath,"  but,  taken  all  in  all,  the  weights  coin- 
cide wonderfully.  One  AVestera  horse  that  might  have 
escaped  many  men's  attention,  Ducat,  has  been  attended  to 
in  each  case.  Charade  is  better  off  at  Gravesend;  so  are 
Prince  George,  Pickpocket  and  one  or  two  others,  but  much 
fewer  differences  of  opinion  than  usual  crop  out. — Daily 
America. 


The  Bard,  A.  J.  Cassatt's  great  stallion,  took  part  in  an 
impromptu  fox-hunt  recently.  While  the  thoroughbred  was 
being  exercised  by  Ernie,  one  of  the  English  stable  lads,  R. 
Peon  Smith,  the  farm  superintendent,  who  was  jogging  by  on 
a  polo  pony,  noticed  a  big  dog  fox  lurking  along  a  fence. 
Smith  gave  a  "view  halloo,"  and  chased  after  the  fox  on  the 
pony.  Ernie  followed  after  with  The  Bard.  The  fox  was 
hunted  from  field  to  field  for  twenty  minutes,  about  a  dozen 
fences  being  cleared.  Tbe  Bard  topped  the  timber  like  an 
imported  hunter,  and  finished  none  the  worse  for  the  escapade. 

In  the  Toboggan  Slide,  which  is  undoubtedly  the  hardest 
of  the  three  handicaps  that  Mr.  Vosburgh  has  to  handle,  Dr. 
Hasbrouck  is  top  weight,  with  an  impost  of  134  pounds,  which 
mo3t  certainly  doss  not  seem  more  than  he  should  carry, 
especially  as  he  is  only  asked  to  concede  four  pounds  "to 
Stonenell.  Perhaps  the  most  noticeable  point  about  this 
handicap  is  that  Mr.  Vosburgh  puts  so  much  weight  on 
Pessarra.  This  horse's  best  form  in  sprinting  events  will, 
however,  warrant  this.  Of  O'Connell  no  great  estimate  has 
been  formed,  owing  to  his  Western  form,  and  if  Mr.  Spiers' 
gelding  is  really  as  fast  as  he  is  supposed  to  be,  this  may  be 
a  good  thing  for  him. 

The  following  rule,  taken  from  the  Eoglish  Jockey  rules, 
has  been  adopted  by  Eastern  jockey  clubs :  t(  Any  person 
shall  be  ruled  off  who,  without  making  it  known  to  the  offi- 
cials, is  a  part  owner  or  acts  as  a  trainer  of  any  horse  in  which 
a  jockey  riding  at  that  track  possesses  any  interest,  or  who 
makes  any  bet  with  or  on  behalf  of  any  jockey  unless  on  a 
horse  he  is  riding,  or  who  offers  or  makes,  except  through  his 
j  employer  or  the  owner  or  trainer  of  the  horse  ridden,  a  jockey 
any  present,  money,  or  other  reward  in  connection  with  his 
riding  of  any  race."  This  is  all  very  well,  but  does  any  think- 
ing person  suppose  that  such  a  rule  will  ever  be  enforced  in 
this  country  ? 

J.  E.  Brewster,  secretary  of  the  Washington  Park  Club 
since  its  inception,  died  in  Chicago  last  Sunday  of  congestion 
of  the  brain.  Mr.  Brewster,  considered  one  of  the  ablest  rac- 
ing secretaries  in  this  or  any  other  country,  was  sixty  vears 
of  age,  and  has  been  identified  witu  the  turf  of  America  for 
nearly  if  not  quite  thirty  years.  The  affairs  of  the  Wash- 
ington Park  Club  were  left  almost  wholly  under  his  direction, 
and  the  organization's  standing  speaks  volumes  for  his  abil- 
ity in  the  line  of  management.  In  the  early  seventies  Mr. 
Brewster  was  one  of  the  members  of  the  famons  McDaniel 
confederacy,  that  was  sent  to  California  to  race  such  horses  as 
Hubbard,  Joe  Daniels  and  Katie  Pease,  names  that  became 
famous  not  only  in  tbe  Golden  State,  but  all  over  this  coun- 
try. Mr.  Brewster  was  a  New  Yorker,  and  bis  family  lived  in 
that  city  up  to  the  time  of  his  death.  No  man  had  a  wider 
acquaintance  among  turfmen  than  Mr.  Brewster,  and  his 
death  will  be  greatly  regretted  wherever  he  was  known. 


We  are  just  in  receipt  of  one  of  the  most  complete  cata- 
logues ever  issued.  We  refer  to  the  Bitter  Root  farm  cata- 
logue of  Marcus  Daly,  the  Montana  copper  millionaire.  Air. 
Daly  certainly  has  some  of  the  grandest-bred  horses  in  crea- 
tion. The  pedigrees  that  struck  us  most  forcibly  were  those 
of  Ella  Gregg,  gr  f,  by  Salvator,  dam  Lizzie  Lucas,  by  imp. 
Australian  ;  Export,  b  f,  by  imp.  Sir  Modred,  dam  Explosion, 
by  imp.  Hampton  Court;  Etta  McKeever,  ch  f,  by  Salvator, 
dam  Ethel  (sister  to  Ban  Fox),  by  imp.  King  Ban ;  Crisis  (in 
England),  by  Fernandez  (brother  to  Isonomy),  dam  Isis,  by 
Bend  Or  (winner  of  the  Derby),  her  dam  Shotover  (winner 
of  the  Derby),  by  Hermit  (Derby  winner);  Matt  Byrnes,  br  c, 
by  Hampton,  dam  Cherry,  by  Sterling;  Tenacious,  b  c,  by 
Iroquois,  dam  Brunette,  by  imp.  Bonnie  Scotland  ;  Israel,  b

Sir  Matthew),  by  Sir  Modred,  dam  Embroidery,  by  Virgil : 
Sleeping  Child,  ch  c,  by  imp.  Child  of  the  Mist,  dam  Erin-go 
— Bragh,  by  Barcaldine;  second  dam  Farewell  (sister  to  imp. 
RossingLon),  by  Doncaster;  third  dam  Lily  Agnes  (dam  of 
Ormonde),  by  Macaroni.  This  would  be  hard  to  beat  in  any 
clime.  Our  only  regret  is  that  Mr.  Daly  does  not  transfer 
these  horses  to  a  farm  in  California. 


The  mares  that  go  to  the  embrace  of  Ormonde,  "the  horse 
of  the  century,"  this  season,  are  as  follows:  Imp.  Amelia,  imp. 
Fairy  Rose,  imp.  Flirt,  imp.  Gorgo,  imp.  Music,  imp.  Cor- 
nelia (by  Isonomy),  imp.  Teardrop,  imp.  Getaway  and  imp. 
Queen  Bess,  all  from  Palo  Alto  and  well-known  to  our  readers. 
In  addition  there  will  be:  imp.  China  Rose  (by  St.  Honorat 
— Hedge  Rose),  imp.  Sapientia  fby  Wisdom — Lady  Emily, 
sister  to  imp.  Charaxus,  by  Distin),  imp.  Maiden  Belle  (by 
Beau  Brummel — Maidenhair),  imp.  Countess  Langden  (by 
Kingcraft — Ladv  Langden),  imp.  Mirandola  (by  The  Jolly

imp.  Mirage  (by  Speculum — Euononyma),  imp.  Kissing 
Crust  (by  Sweetbread — Caress),  imp.  Cottage  Girl  (by  Ison-

(by  Royal  George — Queen  Bess,  by  Queen's  Messenger), 
Moonlight,  dam  of  -Ajax  (by  Princeton — SimooD,  by  War

Glenelg),  Lady  Marino,  sister  to  Sir  John  (by  imp.  Sir  Mod-

(by  Tbe  Drummer — Dolly  Vardeo,  by  Lord  of  Lynne),and 
Mercedes  (by  imp.  Young  Prince,  grandson  of  Stockwell,  dam 
Piney  Lewis,  by  Longfellow.)  Surely  these  are  a  royai  lot 
of  matrons — three  by  the  great  Isonomy  and  nearly  every 
one  a  producer  of  winners  or  a  full  sister  to  some  celebrity  of 
the  turf  or  harem.

Great  Sale  of  Australian  Thoroughbreds. 


By  reference  to  our  advertising  columns  the  announce- 
ment is  noticed  that  the  great  stallion  Idalium,  the  only 
brother  to  the  mighty  sires  Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot,  is 
to  be  sold  at  public  auction,  together  with  the  choicest 
collection  of  royally-bred  stock  ever  imported  to 
California.  Individually,  they  are  pronounced  by  best 
judges  to  be  unsurpassed  in  conformation,  quality  and 
finish,  while  their  pedigrees  trace  to  the  greatest  winners 
in  the  Colonies  and  England.  The  value  of  the  blood- 
lines which  these  animals  represent  is  becoming  more 
highly  appreciated  every  year,  and  the  breeder  who  gets 
such  representatives  to  mate  with  what  are  called 
American  sires  and  dams  will  lay  the  foundation  for  the 
best  money-making  business  in  California.  Everyone 
will  be  wanting  Australian  blood  more  keenly  than  they 
do  now,  although  from  the  demand  for  the  services  of 
Australian  stallions  at  present,  it  would  seem  that  our 
American-bred  horses  will  stiller. 

As  wc  shall  give  a  more  complete  description  of  these 
horses  in  bsequent  h-iics,  it  is  almost  needless  to  add 
that  this  promises  .to  be  the  most  sensational  sale  of 
thoroughbreds  ever  held  in  California. 


The  "  boom  "  period  in  the  trotting  horse  business 
has  vanished,  and  a'l  those  who  are  interested  must, 
sooner  or  latter,  realize  that  to  make  large  profits  on 
their  investments  they  should  study  the  interests  and 
wants  of  purchasers  better  than  heretofore,  and  make  a 
radical  change  in  their  methods  of  breeding  and  devel- 
oping trotters  and  pacers.  In  doing  so,  they  must  re- 
member that  the  demand  of  the  hour  is  for  the  best,  and 

ONLY  THE  BEST  WILL  SUIT. 

We  are  all  forced  to  admit  that  the  trotting-horse  in- 
dustry has  become  weakened  through  the  action  of 
breeders  during  the  past  three  years,  and  heroic  meas- 
ures must  be  adopted  by  them  at  once  to  give  it  strength 
and  place  it  on  a  firmer  footing.  In  Europe,  the  same 
state  of  affairs  confronted  the  industry  until  govern- 
ments who  were  in  need  of  fine  cavalry  horses  estab- 
lished large  breeding  farms  and  allowed  no  stallions  to 
be  bred  to  the  farmers'  mares  unless  they  passed  a  most 
critical  examination  by  the  Board  of  Veterinarians  ap- 
pointed for  that  purpose.  No  animal  is  bought  by  these 
governments  except  it  is  also  approved  by  these  gentle- 
men; hence,  the  class  of  horses  seen  in  France,  Germany, 
Italy,  Russia  and  Austria,  and  other  portions  of  Europe, 
is  far  superior  for  the  purposes  for  which  they  are  in- 
tended than  those  in  any  other  part  of  the  world. 

Of  course,  we  have  not  come  to  such  a  strait.  This  is 
a  large  country  inhabited  by  people  whose  surround- 
ings from  the  cradle  to  the  grave  are  more  congenial 
than  those  to  be  found  in  any  other  part  of  the  world,  but 
the  people  engaged  in  the  breeding  and  raising  of  horses 
here  have  had  their  ideas  "  elevated  above  the  clouds  " 
by  the  exorbitant  prices  paid  by  enthusiasts  for  trotters, 
and  it  is  about  time  these  thoughts  should  be  brought  a 
little  closer  to  the  foundation  upon  which  values  in  the 
future  must  be  based. 

In  order  to  do  so,  let  us  go  to  the  large  stock  farms  and 
see  wherein  the  trouble  lies.  There  is  a  beautifully-bred, 
game  trotting  stallion  standing  in  a  big  box-stall,  while 
in  the  meadows  and  pastures  are  groups  of  broodmares 
with  colts  and  fillies  by  their  sides,  all  sired  by  the  horse 
we  have  admired  so  much.  These  matrons  have  been 
gathered  from  all  parts  of  the  United  States,  and  their 
pedigrees  read  well.  They  are  related  to  the  greatest 
trotting  and  pacing  campaigners  that  ever  won  the  plau- 
dits of  thousands  as  they  achieved  victories  in  their  races. 
We  have  seen  that  in  that  band  there  are  a  number  of 
"  weeds"  '  i.  e.,  mares  that  have  cost  thousands  of  dollars, 
but  the  prices  paid  for  them  did  not  remove  the  spavins, 
ring  bones,  defective  vision,  spindle  legs,  crooked  and 
weakly-formed  hocks,  narrow,  brainless-looking  heads, 
flat  ribs,  poor  couplings  or  brittle  hoofs.  These  ani- 
mals cost  money,  and  a  great  amount  of  it.  They  may 
never  have  trotted  in  a  race  for  the  simple  reason  they 
had  no  strength  to  keep  up  their  speed,  besides  they 
were  sluggish,  and  the  rattling  of  a  chain  or  the  prod- 
ding of  a  lance  failed  to  awaken  them  to  the  fact 
that  this  is  a  progressive  age  and  that  they  were  sup- 
posed to  move  out  of  a  walk. 

When  these  mares  that  are  so  deficient  in  all  the 
qualities  so  essential  to  make  good  broodmares  were  bred 
to  the  handsome  stallion,  the  owner  never  considered 
the  acknowledged  fact  that  the  produce  would  have  sixty 
per  cent,  of  the  qualities  of  the  dam  and  only  forty  per 
cent,  of  the  sire.  The  lesson  so  often  told  him  that  no 
colt  was  ever  worth  feeding  to  make  a  racehorse,  unless 
he  had  a  good  dam,  was  unheeded  when  he  bred  to 
the  horse.  In  time,  the  colt  or  filly  comes,  and  at  first  it 
may  look  very  fair,  but,  as  it  grows,  the  defects  of  the 
dam  are  plainly  seen  transmitted  to  the  youngster. 
"What  will  we  do  with  it?"  the  superintendent  is 
asked.  "  Oh,  I  don't  know  ;  we  will  hold  a  sale  soon 
and  send  it  to  New  York,  or  Lexington,  or  Cleveland, 
and  put  in  a  few  good  ones  with  it  to  draw  the  crowd  ; 
some  one  there  will  look  over  its  breeding  and  pay  a 
good  price  for  it."  "  Perhaps,  if  the  superintendent 
knows  what  kind  of  a  man  he  is  dealing  with,  he  will 
advise  having  the  little  one  destroyed  as  soon  as  it  is 
weaned,  and  her  mare  sold,  with  the  understanding  she 
should  never  be  bred  to  the  sire  she  had  been  bred  to 
on  the  farm.  Some  other  one  should  be  substituted  for 
her  that  will  be  noted  for  individuality,  courage 
and  sj/eed,  with  good  breeding  to  sustain  it.  Such 
animals  can  be  purchased  either  at  private  sale  or 
at  the  closing-out  sales  of  similar  breeding  estab- 
lishments now.  If  the  colt  is  not  destroyed,  but 
is  sent  to  the  sales  ring  to  be  sold  to  the  highest 
bidder,  there  will  be  enough  enlightened  horse- 
men present  to  nudge  each  other  and  call  attention  to 
that  "  door-knob  on  the  hock,"  "  that  bracelet  on  the 
coronet,"  the  enlargement  under  the  eyes,  better  known 


as  "big  head"  "the  ophthalmic  eyes",  "the  sickle  hocks," 
'calf  knees,"  ani  the  many  other  "  eyesores  "  which  the 
intelligent  horsemen  of  to-day  are  so  quick  to  notice. 
The  sale  proceeds,  and  when  a  perfect-gaited  animal, 
without  vice  or  blemish,  is  offered,  although  the  pedigree 
may  not  be  "  bristling  with  the  names  of  royalty,"  it  is 
observed  that  the  bidding  is  livelier  and  the  prices  real- 
ized greater  than  the  other.  The  sale  ends,  the  good, 
bad  and  indifferent  are  all  sold.  When  the  average  is 
struck,  the  news  is   flashed  adross  the  continent :   Thirty 

head  of  colts  and  fillies,  by ,  a  sop  of  Hambletonian 

10,  are  sold  for  $1,500,  average  $50,  but  the  number  that 
brought  $100  and  over  are  very  few.  The  owner  re- 
turns to  his  farm  disgusted.  Soon  after,a  man  froin  another 
part  of  the  State  comes  to  him  and  offers  to  buy  some 
colt  by  the  premier  stallion  on  the  farm  that  is  the  apple 
of  the  owner's  eye,  and  offers  $50;  "just  the  same  price, 
sir,  that  you  got  for  each  of  the  colts  and  fillies  at  your 
sale.  You  know  that  the  get  of  your  horse  ain't  worth 
a  cent  more."  And  thus,  by  this,  and  similar  statements 
the  "  agony  is  piled  on,"  and  the  results  are  shown  by 
the  large  number  of  breeders  who  have  gone  out  of  the 
business. 

If  this  owner  had  killed  the  culls  and  sold  the 
mares  to  some  peddler,  and  substituted  for  them-  brood- 
mares that  were  out  of  producing  dams,  and  that  were 
known  to  trace  to  families  which  were  noted  for  their 
excellence,  hereditary  soundness  and  individual 
merits,  the  complaint  about  low  prices  would  not  be 
heard,  and  he  would  be  still  in  the  business. 

Then  there  is  another  evil  that  must  be  righted. 
No  stallion  owner  should  allow  his  horse  to  be  bred  to  a 
mare  unless  she  came  up  to  his  ideai  of  what  a  brood- 
mare should  be.  If  he  did  this  and  only  accepted  what 
he  calls  approved  mares,  the  reputation  of  his  horse  as  a 
sire  would  extend  across  the  United  States  and  the  prog- 
eny would  always  bring  big  prices.  If  the  mare  should 
drop  a  colt  that  is  faulty  in  coat  and  the  ideal  of  a  homely 
brute,  the  stallion  owner  should  go  at  once  to  the  owner 
and  purchase  the  animal  and  have  it  destroyed,  for  every 
one  of  these  living  monuments  of  the  sire's  po'iency  in 
transmitting  defects  should  be  kept  out  of  sight.  The 
owner  of  the  mare  will  always  claim  it  is  the  sire's  fault, 
and  the  owner  of  the  latter,  for  bis  own  protection, 
should  destroy  these  "  advertisements  "  at  any  cost. 

The  class  of  horses  that  would  be  sired  by  such  a  stal- 
lion then  would  be  sought  after  by  purchasers,  and  if  the 
owner  would  have  the  youngsters  developed  for  speed,  in 
a  few  years  the  fame  of  the  trotters  and  pacers  bred  byl 
him  would  extend  wherever  light  harness  horses  are 
known.  The  example  s  et  by  these  large  stock  farm  own 
era  would  be  quickly  followed  by  horsemen  of  smaller 
means,and  the  desire  to  excel  in  the  production  of  horses 
that  others  would  be  seeking  would  increase  with  amaz- 
ing rapidity.  Instead  of  sending  horses  to  market  tha 
are  horses  in  name  and  pedigree  only,  there  would  be, 
grand-looking,pure-gaited,  stylish  and  sound  trotters  ant 
pacers  eligible  for  either  track  or  road  purposes,  and  thai 
would  come  nearer  filling  the  ideal  of  what  they  wen 
intended  for  than  for  any  other  purpose, 
There  is  no  lack  of  proper  material  in  the  United  Stat 
now,  but  there  was  a  great  lack  of  judgment  on  the  par 
of  breeders  in  the  past.  The  hunt  for  the  almighty  dolla 
belonging  to  the  rich  enthusiast  prevented  these  men 
from  looking  down  the  highways  and  byways  for  the  me 
of  moderate  means,  who  were  largely  in  the  majority  a 
buyers,  but  were  also  very  discriminating  in  iheir  pui 
chases. 

It  is  not  too  late  to  begin.  Now  is  the  accepted  timi 
Bring  all  fads.  Select  only  the  best,  study  the  bei 
bloodlines,  breed  with  care,  kill  all  culls,  develop  ti 
trotters  and  pacers  that  show  gait,  disposition  and  spei 
and  have  them  entered  in  all  the  stakes  possible.  Thei 
when  the  time  comes  to  sell  buyers,  will  be  willing  to  ps 
good  prices,  for  they  are  always  seeking  that  which 
good. 


The  great  stallion  Dexter  Prince  has  been  leased  b 
A.  B.  Spreckles  to  the  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  for  th 
season.  Dexter  Prince  is  one  of  the  phenomenal  sir 
which  like  Richard's  Elector  made  bis  reputation  as 
sire  of  speed  by  being  bred  to  mares  that  had  c 
breeding.  He  will  have  a  splendid  opportunity  no 
and  we  believe  his  progeny  will  show  that  as  sire  I 
will  stand  among  the  very  greatest  in  the  land, 
congratulate  the  Palo  Alto  management  on  securill 
this  horse. 


"  The  writer,"  says  "  Veritas,"  in  The  Horseman,  "  li

Almont8hould  be  more  iiighly  prized  in  the  maternal  lit

Largest  Lists  of  Entries  Ever  Recorded. 

The  list  of  entries  for  the  races  to  take  under  the 
auspices  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  at  the  fall  meeting 
this  year  will  astonish  the  large  number  of  croakers 
who  have  predicted  the  utter  collapse  of  the  trotting- 
horse  industry,  while  at  the  same  time  it  will  please  the 
lovers  of  fine  trotters  and  pacers,  for  it  shows  that  a 
greater  interest  is  being  taken  in  the  development  and 
training  of  well-bred  trotters  and  pacers  that  are  showing 
the  "  merits  of  their  inheritance  "  by  their  gait  and 
actioD,  than  ever. 

This  is  the  first  gun  of  the  season  of  1S94,  and  its  re- 
port will  be  heard  echoing  from  hillside  to  hillside 
down  the  valleys,  wherever  horses  are  raised.  The  news 
of  the  success  of  the  programme  formulated  by  this  live 
association  will  be  warmly  welcomed  by  even-  associa- 
tion in  the  land,  for  if  they  follow  the  same  plan, 
success  will  crown  their  efforts,  and  when  the  day  of  the 
races  comes  larger  fields  of  horses  will  appear;  conse- 
quently larger  crowds  of  people  will  be   in  attendance. 

In  looking  over  this  list  of  715  entries  it  will  be 
noticed  that  a  large  number  of  stallions  are  represented 
that  horsemen  knew  very  little  about,  and  before  the 
rains  fall  next  winter  the  number  of  sires  of  performers 
that  will  be  added  to  the  list  of  "California's  Native  Sons" 
will  be  greater  in  proportion  to  the  number  of  horses 
trotting  tnan  it  has  ever  been.  The  list  is  like  an  ad- 
vance edition  of  the  Year  Book,  and  will  furnish  much 
valuable  information  to  all  who  arc  trying  to  keep  apace 
with  the  times. 

The  prices  of  trotters  are  low,  but  we  believe  they  have 
reached  their  lowest  notch,  and  in  a  few  years  those  who 
have  purchased  youngsters  in  the  fall  of  1893  and  win- 
ter of  1894  will  have  no  reason  to  regret  their  acquisition 
of  such  stock.  The  large  amounts  offered  by  the  asso- 
ciations in  stakes  and  purses  throughout  the  land  for  the 
encouragement  of  the  trotting-horse  industry  and  the  up- 
building of  this  great  business  are  on  the  increase  not 
only  in  size  but  in  numbers,  while  the  conditions  are 
made  so  liberal  that  no  breeder  can  afford  to  keep  his 
colts  or  fillies  out  of  them. 


STATE  BOARD  OF   AGRICULTURE. 


Hon.  John  Boggs  Re-Elected  President  for  This 
Year. 


On  Saturday,  February  17th,  there  will  be  sold  at 
auction  by  Killip  &  Co.,  the  well-known  auctioneers,  all 
the  horses  belonging  to  Henry  Schwartz.  They  include 
such  great  racehorses  as  Garcia,  Sands  Foreman,  Van- 
ity, Washoe,  Bill  Gardner  and  Fond  Hope.  Here  is  an 
opportunity  ior  horsemen  to  secure  a  number  of  bread- 
winners that  will  win  themselves  out  at  the  Blood  Horse 
meeting.  

How  the  Broodmare  Venus  is  Bred. 


At  the  Santa  Eosa  Stock  Farm  there  are  several  noted 
broodmares,  and  among  them   is  the  chestnut  mare  Venus. 
She  was  foaled  in  1872  and  is  therefore  nearly  twenty  years 
old.    Venus  is  known  to  fame  as  the  dam  of  Adonis,  thegreat 
pacer,  with  a  record  of  2:11^  ;  Cupid,  2:18,  by  Sidney;  Leah, 
'  2:29},  by  Sidney  ;  Sidette,  a  filly  by  Sidney,  that  is  owned  by 
F.C.  Sayles,  of  Pawtucket,  Rhode   Island  (a   candidate   for 
2:20  honors  this  year);  bay  colt,  Sidney  Dillon,  and  filly,  Sid- 
ney Venus,  both  of  the  latter  are  owned  by  Pierce  Bros.,  pro- 
prietors of  Santa  Bosa  Stock  Farm.    Sidney  Dillon  and  Sid- 
ney Venus  will  have  no  trouble  entering  the  list  when  given 
an  opportunity.    Venus  is  heavy  with  foal  to  the  champion 
four-year-old  pacing  stallion,  Diablo,   2:09},  and  it  is   her 
owners'  intention  to  breed  her  again  this  year  to  this  horse.  In 
K  the  year  book  her  pedigree  reads :  Venus,  chestnut  mare,  by 
;  Capt.  Webster,  son  of  Williamson's  Belmont,  dam  unknown. 
pThis  is  incorrect,  as  we  have  made  a  personal  investigation. 
I'Orrin  A.Hickob,  the  well-known  horseman,  wh^n  interroga- 
ted about  the  mare, said:  "The  sire  of  Venus  as  given  by 
the  late  G.  Valeosio,  was  not  correct.     He  said  she  was  by 
Capt.  Webster.    She  was  by  Venture,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Dl- 
\  rectum,  2:05^.     This  information  comes  from  the  wife  of  the 
t  iwnerof  Venture  who  says  that  the  dam  of  Venus  was  first 
>  ared  to  Capt.  Webster,  but  did  not  hold.     She  was  afterwards 
\  ared  to  Venture  and  Venus  was  foaled  eleven  months  and  ten 
lays  after  that  service.     If  she  had  held  to  Capt.  Webster, 
■he  fcetus  would  have  been  over  fourteen  months  old.     This 
lateoient  can  be  confirmed  by  Mr.  Koox,  formerly  owner  of 
N'utwood  :  J    Wm.  Lyle,  of  this  city,  knows  these  facts  also." 
Sir.  Lyle,  on  being  questioned  about  the  mare's  breeding,  re- 
"<  >lied,  "yes,  she  undoubtedly  was  by  Venture,  the  sire  of  Lady 
Joonie,  dam  of  Edwin  C,  2:15,  and  no  daughter  could  look 
oore  like  her  sire  than  Venus  did  to  Venture.     The  dam  of 
/enus  was  by  Algerine,  a  horse  owned  at  one  time  by  John 
I.  Colgrove.  of  Laurel   Creek  Farm,  San  Mateo.     Algerine 
'as  sired  by  Capt.  Fisher,  out  of  the  Messenger  mare,  Maria 
:   link  (dam  of  Whipple  8957,  sire  of  two  in  the  list),  by  Black 
Varrior,  he  by  Tippoo,  he  by  Ogden's  Messenger.  Black  War- 
jior  sired  Royal  George  (sire  of  Lady  Byron,  2:28,  and  the 
*    res,  R-jyal  George,  sire  of  two;  Toronto  Chief,  sire  of  three  ; 
trantham  Chief,  sire  of  two;  Charles  Douglas,sire  of  nne 
'  ^ad  Charles  J.  Wells,  sire  of  one).     Maria  Mink's  dam  was 
'    tiled  a  half  thoroughbred  mare.     Capt.  Fisher  was  by  Sir 
1  nomas,  he  by  the  Woodyear  Sir  Thomas,  he  by  Young  Dio- 
■  i  ied,  son  of  imported  Diomed."   Venus  is  a  stroDg  and  vigor- 
iis  little  mare  and  ia  one  of  the  best-formed  ones  ever  se- 
cted  as  a  matron  by  the  Pierce  Bros. 


Monbaes,  2:12ij,  trotting,  and  The  Czar,  2:12j,  trotting, 

I  cord;*  made  at  three  years,  will,  if  rumor  is  correct,  be  cam- 
ligned  this  year  as  pacers.  Both  were  sensational  trotters  as 
mngsters  and  will  undoubtedly  equal  their  trotting  records 
the  lateral  gait. 


The  State  Board  of  Agriculture  held  its  annual  meeting  at 
the  office  of  the  secretary  yesterday.  The  following-named 
members  were  present  :  Directors  Cox,  Green,  Chase, 
Mathews,  Wilson,  Flickinger  and  President  Boggs  says  the 
Sacramento  Union. 

The  report  of  the  board  to  the  Governor  was  read  and 
adopted. 

Hon.  Frederick  Cox,  in  a  few  happy  remarks,  nominated 
Hon.  John  Boggs  for  re-election  as  president  for  the  ensuing 
term. 

There  being  no  other  nominations,  Mr.  Boggs  was  elected 
by  acclamation. 

G.  W.  Haocock  was  elected  superintendent  of  the  park  and 
Christopher  Green,  superintendent  of  the  pavilion. 

The  State  Fair  for  1891  was  fixed  upon  to  begin  on  Mon- 
day, September  3d,  to  continue  two  weeks,  as  heretofore. 

The  president  said  he  would  name  committees  at  a  future 
date.  After  consideration  of  matters  of  minor  importance  the 
board  adjourned. 

The  following  excerpts  are  taken  from  the  secretary's  an- 
nual report : 

Good  Roads. — Following  up  the  suggestion  made  in  our 
last  report  upon  good  roads,  we  would  say  that  the  subject 
should  not  be  permitted  to  lie  dormant;  that  the  farming  com- 
munity in  every  county  in  the  State  should  continue  to  urge 
the  building  of  a  permanent  roadway  from  all  parts  of  their 
county  to  the  county  seat,  to  be  followed  by  improvements  of 
cross  and  branch  roads,  that  all  points  of  interest  couid  be 
reached  at  any  season  of  the  year,  thereby  enabling  the  pro- 
ducer to  market  his  products  at  will. 

The  maintenance  of  a  perfected  stable  roadway  not  only 
indicates  a  progressive  community,  but  a  prosperous  one  as 
well,  and  it  is  here  a  new  comer  seeking  investment  is  most 
liable  to  settle,  thereby  attracting  a  most  desirable  class  of 
people  who  have  the  means  to  improve  the  surroundings.  In 
many  parts  of  this  State,  where  good  roads  are  made  by  rea- 
son of  natural  formation  of  the  soil,  this  condition  of  affairs 
already  exists,  and  one  there  finds  elegant  homes  of  modern 
architectural  designs  surrounded  by  beautiful  landscape  gar- 
dening that  indicates  the  existence  ofa  prosperous  community, 
and  it  is  in  these  sections  the  new  comers  who  are  looking  for 
a  California  home,  either  for  profit  or  pleasure,  have  located, 
and  the  consequence  is  that  the  community  gains  by  ad- 
ditional improvements  similar  to  those  adjacent,  and  the 
State  gains  by  additional  taxable  property. 

Why  cannot  other  sections  improve  their  lands,  not  by  nec- 
essarily increasing  the  value  per  acre  in  dollars  and  cents,  but 
by  the  location  of  new  blood  among  them  who  have  the  desire 
and  means  necessary  to  beautify  homes,  as  has  been  done 
elsewhere  in  this  State?  Take  it  to  yourselves,  farmers  and 
land-owners,  we  say,  and  hasten  to  do  away  with  the  ancient, 
impracticable  and  costly  way  of  road  building  inaugurated  in 
this  State  before  our  agricultural  capabilities  were  certain, 
and  take  on  a  new  and  permanent  system  that  will  insure  good 
roads  to  market  centers  or  shipping  points  at  all  seasons  of  the 
year.  What  if  the  first  cost  is  more,  and  you  are  assessed  an 
additional  tax  each  year  to  provide  for  its  payment,  you  will 
get  better  results  from  a  small  outlay  that  yon  now  obtain 
under  the  hand-to-mouth  system  of  road  building  and  im- 
provement. 

The  farming  community  in  each  county  should  organize 
and  insist  upon  a  uniform  system  of  road  improvement,  as 
they  are  the  class  mostly  benefited.  They  should  have  such 
roads  as  would  enable  them  to  market  their  products  at  all 
times,  thereby  getting  the  benefit  of  a  good  market  when  their 
productions  are  in  most  demand,  and  not  be  forced  to  sell  or 
store  in  available  warehouses  at  great  risk  and  expense  until 
the  winter  months,  when  prices  are  generally  better  for  all 
class  of  farm  products. 

The  establishment  and  maintenance  of  good  macadam 
roads  properly  constructed  will  greatly  aid  in  the  disposal  of 
land  in  small  tracts  to  individual  workers  who  could  rely  up- 
on regular  sales  of  such  products  that  require  a  ready  market 
that  could  be  reached  daily  in  all  kinds  of  weather. 

Good  roads  is  a  most  effective  agent  in  populating  a  com- 
munity, as  we  have  before  said  ;  the  success  of  a  common- 
wealth depends  upon  the  building  up  of  the  country,  which 
section  of  a  productive  State  must  be  built  up  before  the 
cities,  and  every  inducement  possible  to  that  end  should  be 
extended  to  individuals  that  they  may  become  a  part  of  the 
producing  class  of  our  great  State. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  at  the  next  session  of  the  Legislature 
a  general  svstem  of  permanent  road  buildiug  will  be  made  a 
law,  and  the  old  plan  of  road  making  be  retired  forever. 
What  we  want  is  rock-built  highways  that  will  last  through 
this  generation  of  people,  and  let  them  be  made  at  such  times 
of  the  year  when  demands  for  labor  in  other  avenues  is  light, 
thereby  accomplishing  much  good  for  both  the  land-owner 
and  the  laboror. 

Idaho  has  begun  right ;  Bhe  has  a  State  Wagon  Road  Com- 
mission that  is  perfecting  her  roadways,  and  we  note  with 
great  satisfaction  that  the  commission  is  doing  admirable 
work  in  the  construction  of  permanent  rock-built  roads.  A 
contract  recently  let  in  that  young  State  provides  for  tbe 
building  of  a  perfect  roadway,  forming  a  main  trunk  line 
connecting  the  northern  and  southern  sections  of  that  State. 
They  are  starting  properly,  and  the  example  there  set  could 
be  followed  with  benefit  by  this  State. 

The  Breeding  of  Horses  for  Eastern  Markets  in 
excess  of  home  demands  still  continues  in  a  prosperous  way  not- 
withstanding the  financial  depression  of  the  past  season, which, 
of  course,  had  its  eflect  upon  sales,  but  not  sufficient  to  discour- 
age our  breeders.  While  prices  have  been  somewhat  below 
the  average,  caused  by  the  condition  of  the  country,  the 
expense  of  maintenance  has  been  lessened  by  the  correspond- 
ing cheapness  of  feed.  As  it  is  tu  be  supposed,  a  year  like  the 
one  just  closed  had  its  effect  upon  all  kinds  of  agricultural 
business,  and  the  breeder,  not  unlike  the  wheat-grower,  simply 
struggles  on  in  such  times  of  adversity,  confident  that  a  rehab- 
ilitation of  values  mu^t  return  as  soon  as  the  people  have 
recovered  from  the  shock  of  the  disaster.  The  number  of 
people  to  be  supplied  are  still  in  the  land,  and  we  all  have 
but  to  wait  the  restoration  of  confidence. 

The  establishment  of  the  large  abattoirs  at  Baden  fcr  the 
handliog  of  food  meats  in  large  quantities  baa  had  a  stimu- 


lating effect  upon  the  meat  producing  interest  in  this  State, 
and  it  is  to  be  hoped  proper  encouragement  will  be  given 
this  and  other  enterprises  of  like  character,  to  the  end  that 
California  will  soon  produce  prepared  meats  of  all  kinds  in 
sufficient  quantity  to  supply  the  ocean  export  trade  from  San 
Francisco.  The  productive  capabilities  are,  as  all  know, 
ample.  What  is  needed  is  the  enterprise  to  increase  the  out- 
put. 

The  Exhibition  of  1893. — Although  retarded  by  a  year 
of  financial  distress  and  the  grand  World's  Exposition  at 
Chicago,  we  held  our  fortieth  annual  exhibition  of  California 
products  and  mechanical  features  during  the  month  of  Sep- 
tember last,  and  while  it  was  not  up  to  the  average  in  point 
of  variety  and  excellence,  it  was,  howevar,  superior  to  our 
expectations.  The  attendance  was  somewhat  less  than  in 
former  years,  which,  for  obvious  reasons,  was  expected.  But, 
everything  considered,  our  loss  upon  the  year  was  not  as 
much  as  predicted  by  estimates  made  during  the  fair. 

In  compliance  with  the  demands  of  an  amusment-loving 
public,  and  with  a  desire  to  make  the  exhibition  additionally 
attractive,  we  digressed  from  our  usual  custom  by  providing 
an  auxiliary  display  in  the  shape  ofa  representation  of  the 
Roman  Circus-Maximus  in  commemoration  of  olden  times, 
and  wherein  was  shown  a  vivid  illustration  of  ancient  Roman 
games,  arranged  not  only  as  an  historical  event,  but  educa- 
tional to  a  great  degree,  in  presenting  for  the  edification  of 
all  many  of  the  practices  and  customs  so  often  referred  to  in 
Roman  history,  where  man's  vigor  as  well  as  valor  was  tried 
in  numerous  ways. 

In  this  we  were  entirely  aided  by  a  representative  class  of 
citizens  composing  the  Sacramento  Athletic  Club,  who  volun- 
teered the  management,  and  labored  without  pay  to  make  the 
exhibition  the  splendid  success  it  was,  and  to  whom  this  board 
desire  at  this  time  to  acknowledge  its  obligations. 

Although  the  expense  exceeded  the  income  derived  directly 
by  the  exhibition,  the  Board  feel  gratified  at  being  able  to 
give  the  public  satisfaction  in  providing  the  additional  feat- 
ure of  entertainment  so  much  desired  as  a  diversion  at  an 
annual  fair. 

The  live  stock  exhibit  at  the  park  this  season  showed  great 
progress  in  point  of  breeding,  a  fair  indication  that  our  breed- 
ers are  adding  the  most  improved  blood  to  their  already  fine- 
bred  stock.  It  will  be  but  a  few  years  before  the  standard  of 
quality  will  have  reached  the  acme  of  perfection  in  all  classes 
of  California  stock. 

It  is  an  agreed  fact  that  we  must  produce  only  the  very  best 
from  approved  blood  lines,  as  competition  with  other  States 
is  constantly  gettirg  greater,  and  we  have  found  by  experi- 
ence that  only  the  best-bred  finds  ready  market.  The  breed- 
ing of  stock  of  all  kinds  for  the  market  is  a  highly  intelligent 
business,  and  its  followers  to  be  successful  must  keep  read  up 
on  all  matters  appertaining  thereto.  In  this,  as  well  as  other 
agricultural  pursuits,  intelligence  is  a  great  factor  of  success, 
and  those  who  would  be  successful  must  improve  with  the 
demand  of  the  times,  and  this  can  only  be  accomplished  by 
'  application  and  constant  study  of  their  interest,  in  this  our 
annual  exhibitions  are  highly  beneficial;  they  stimulate 
breeders  by  comparison  of  stock  families  that  would  not  be 
likely  to  meet  in  any  other  way. 

It  is  here  the  progressive  breeder  learns  the  wants  of  the 
purchaser,  and  the  result  is  the  stock  is  improved  to  meet  the 
demands  of  the  times.  The  young  breeder  or  begioDer  here 
gets  his  first  instruction  by  observation  and  inquiry  from 
older  breeders,  and  is  generally  able  to  start  where  others 
have  ended,  and  carry  out  ideas  obtained  by  otheis  that 
required  years  of  experience  to  develop.  The  result  is  our 
blood  lines  of  stock  are  kept  up  and  a  promisiog  industry  of 
the  State  is  benefited.  We  bespeak  for  it  continued  success, 
and  will  grant  the  usual  aid  annually  with  that  end  in  view. 
Financial. — Our  balance  sheet  for  the  season  shows  losses 
in  receipts  to  aggregate  $11,079,  and  saving  in  expenses  as 
compared  with  the  preceding  year  of  $5,644,  leaving  a  bal- 
ance to  loss  of  $5,435.  Prohably  no  better  indication  ot  tbe 
status  of  the  times  during  the  season  of  1S93  is  more  forcibly 
presented  than  in  the  above  showing,  as  our  loss  clearly 
comes  from  receipts;  and  as  it  is  well  known  that  the  public 
most  regularly  attend  the  annual  State  Fair,  their  only  possi- 
ble restraint  therefrom  is  lack  of  necessary  funds,  and  results 
show  most  plainly  the  existence  of  this  condition. 

Our  losses  clearly  come  from  non-attendance,  and  not  from 
undue  extravagance.  We  early  foresaw  that  retrenchment 
was  necessary  and  made  marked  reductions  in  all  expenses, 
but,  as  the  results  show,  the  falling  off  was  greater  than  we 
provided  for,  and  in  consequence  our  indebtedness  has  been 
increased  instead  of  diminished — the  first  time  for  many 
years  the  balance  for  a  particular  season  appearing  on  the 
wrong  side. 

For  many  years  our  indebtedness,  which  was  incurred  firstly 
by  necessary  permanent  improvement,  has  been  carried  upon 
the  personal  credit  of  the  directors  of  this  board,  many  of 
whom  have  devoted  years  of  their  time  to  the  welfare  of  the 
institution  and  the  interest  it  represents.  Our  hope  is  that  at 
the  next  session  of  the  Legislature  the  members  thereof  will 
recognize  the  necessity  of  providing  sufficifnt  funds  to  meet 
ths  expenses  of  au  institution  that  so  directly  benefits  tbe 
agricultural  interests  of  the  State  as  does  this  society.  We 
have  heretofore  devoted  almost  the  entire  appropriation  to 
premiums,  thereby  returning  the  money  given  to  us  as  aid  to 
the  people  directly  after  having  used  it  in  encouraging  the're- 
sources  of  the  State,  preferring  to  have  the  earnings  of  the 
institution  meet  the  necessary  expenses. 

As  the  law  prohibits  the  use  of  money  appropriated  in  the 
general  appropriation  bill  for  permanent  improvements,  we 
wereforced  to  meet  this  expenditure  likewise  from  our  earn- 
ings, which  have  been  insufficient  for  both  expenses  and  im- 
provements; hence  our  large  debt  of  to  day.  We  are  thus  pre- 
vented from  making  many  additional  improvements  to  the 
State's  property  now  needed.  If  funds  were  provided  for 
this  item  of  expense,  we  are  confident,  with  proper  manage- 
ment, that  our  entire  indebtedness  can  be  wiped  out  during 
the  next  two  years.

DOINGS    IN  DOGDOM. 


Mr.  James  Morlimer  has  been  talked  of  as  the  judge  for 
the  coming  shows.  The  Hempstead  Farm  people  have  just 
concluded  a  contract  with  the  Madison  Square  Garden  man- 
agement to  hold  a  model  farm  show  during  the  last  week  in 

I  April  and  first  week  in  May,  in  connection  with  which  tbej 
expect  the  co-operation  of  several  different  specialty  clubs  in 

;  holding  a  specialty  show  of  dogs.  It  is  expected  that  the  .St. 
Bernard,  Bulldog,   Spaniel  and   Foxterrier   clubs  will    join 

.  with  them  and  make  a  novel  and  attractive  exhibition.  This 
will  prevent  Mr.  Morlimer  from  visiting  the  coast  this 
spring-  

Injustice  to  Mr.  Haldeman,  who  is  seemingly  being  made 
j  the  scapegoat,  on  both  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  for  the  collapse 
,  of  the  Fanciers'  Journal  at  the  expense  of  the  real  truth,  a 
j  little  light  should  be  turned  on.  Previous  to  Mr.  C.  H.  Ma- 
!  son's  occupation  of  the  editorial  chair  the  subscription  list 
,  was  7S4.  within  sixty  days  after  this  the  list  had  fallen  off 
j  over  200.  It  is  time  that  a  lot  of  this  garish  foolishness 
.  should  be  stopped  and  truth  be  known.  There  is  a  slight  dif- 
ference between  guerilla  journalistic  methods  and  sober  edi- 
torial work.    Thev  don't  mix. — Forest  and  Stream. 


No  Bench  Show  at  San  Francisco  this  year. 

St.  Louis  will  not  hold  a  bench  show  this  season  after  all.

Mr.  T.  S.  Bellin  is  bringing  out  a  good  foxterrier  dog  from 
England  for  Mr.  T.  S.  Craig,  of  Albany,  N.  Y. 

Fox-terrier  fanciers  are  cordially  invited  to  call  and  ex 
amine  "  Bob,"  the  autobiography  of  a  fox-terrier.  This  little 
hook  should  be  in  the  library  of  every  lover  of  the  breed. 


Among  our  new  advertisements  this  week  we  call  your  at- 
tention to  Capt.  Walters'  recently  imported  Great  Danes. 
They  can  be  seen  at  any  time  at  the  address  given  in  the  ad- 
vertisement. 


Mr.  J.  W.  Keen,  Portland,  Oregon,  advertises  in  this  issue 
a  litter  of  Irish  Setter  puppies  that  should  be  good  ones. 
They  are  certainly  royally  bred,  and  should  not  be  overlookd 
by  our  northern  fanciers. 

A  bill  will  be  introduced  in  the  House  at  Columbus, 
Ohio,  which  provides  that  the  Sheriff  of  each  county  shall 
keep  a  certain  number  of  bloodhounds  for  use  io  tracking  es- 
caped criminals  and  in  detecting  petty  Sieves. 

W.  L.  Washington  has  purchased  the  Irish  setters  of  the 
Finglas  Keonel-s  including  Finglas,  Champion  Ruby  Glen- 
more  and  Dick  Finglas  by  Finglas — Ch.  Ruby  Glenmore. 
The  Kildare  Kennels  will  soon  be  in  the  swim  again. 


The  Merced  meeting  has  been  definitely  postponed  until 
next  fall.  There  will  be  a  big  meeting  at  Newark  on  March 
■1th  under  the  auspices  of  the  Interstate  Club,  that  promises  to 
be  the  largest  gathering  of  leashmen  for  the  season  of  '93-94. 

Secretary  Vredenburgh's  statement  of  the  A.  K.  C.'s  finances 
for  IS 83  shows  receipts  amounting  to  $12,492  50,  and  dis- 
bursements to  the  amount  of  $9,ti7b*  68,  leaving  a  balance  on 
hand  of  $2,S15.82  This  is  something  like  $2,000  less  than  the 
year  before. 

The  much-talked-of  pointer  bitch,  H.  McCrackea's  Bella 
T.  (Rush  T.— Patti  Croxteth),  has  whelped  a  beautifullv 
marked  litter  to  Howard  Vernon's  Cannel  (Beppo  III — 
Sally  Brass  II).  There  are  ten  in  the  litter,  all  liver  and 
white  in  color. 


Mr.  H.  McCracken  will  accept  our  thanks  for  three  very  well 
executed  photographs,  taken  by  Mr.  McCracken,  of  coursing 
scenes  at  Newark  Park,  and  Mr.  Curtis  and  Mr.  McCracken's 
greyhounds,  Rockette,  Twilight,  Shortstop,  Skyrocket,  Lady 
H.  Glendyne  and  Donard  M. 

The  Westminster  Kennel  Club  have  adopted  a  rule  that 
'  all  large  dogs  must  be  exercised  on  chain."  This  is  one  of 
'the  best  rules  ever  adopted,  and  should  be  adopted  out  here. 
Many  a  "scrap"  has  resulted  in  the  exercise  ring,  through 
the  careless  loosening  of  dogs  of  the  larger  breeds. 

It  is  rumored  that  a  kennel  club  will  be  organized  at  Stock- 
Ion  very  shortly.  The  object  of  the  club  will  be  the  protec- 
tion of  dog  owners  from  thieves  and  dog  poisoners,  and  the 
holding  of  bench  shows  in  connection  with  the  annual  agri- 
cultural fair.  It  is  almost  unnecessary  to  add  that  the  enthu- 
siastic St.  Bernard  fancier,  Mr.  John  Heffeman  is  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  movement. 

Groy bound  owners  in  the  South  are  hereby  warned  that 
the  hitch  Valley  Queen  i.  t.  the  original  Valley  Queen, 
has  only  two  matured  pups  living,  both  of  which  are  in  this 
section  of  the  State.  There  is  a  greyhound  bitch  near  Los 
Anyeles  called  Valley  Queen  but  she  is  a  fawn  bitch,  of  no 
reoord,  She  is  by  Hector — Fly.  The  original  Valley  Queen 
is  by  Stranger— Lily  of  Killarney.  This  bitch  has  woo  many 
prizes  both  on  the  bench  and  in  the  field. 

A  petition  will  be  circulated  at  once  in  Stockton  with  the 
very  laudable  object  of  raising  sufficient  funds  to  prosecute 
the  dog  poisoner,  W.  Eichoff,  on  the  criminal  charge  of  fel- 
ony. II'-  hu  been  convicted  of  poisoning  the  dog,  and  lias 
been  ordered  to  pay  damages  and  cost  of  suit.  This  rascal 
should  be  made  an  example  of,  and  every  dog  lover  should 
respond  al  once.  '  >nly  $75  to  $100  is  needed.  John  Hefter- 
iii",  Stockton,  Cal.,  will  receive  subscriptions  with  thanks. 

Mr.  J  C.  <'oupe  judged  the  Rochester  (Victoria)  Dog

Hill  Kennels,  has  formed  a  partnership  with  Mr.  S.  W.  Vid- 
ler  in  the  Broadmoor  Kennels.  The  keonel  now  consists  of 
Buenarita,  Lady  Graham  Glendyne,  two  bitches  by  Lord 
Neversettle — Partera,  Voltaire,  Van's  General  and  a  thir- 
teen-months-old  dog  by  Lord  Neversettle — White  Lips.  The 
dogs  will  be  run  at  the  Altcar  meeting  next  month,  says  For- 
est and  Stream,  and  if  Mr.  Harrison  goes  in  for  coursiDg  as 
keenly  as  he  did  for  collies,  his  accession  to  the  ranks  of 
coursing  men  is  a  good  step  forward,  for  the  sport  in  this 
country. 

Mr.  Ed  F.  Haberlain  of  McPherson,  Kansas,  will  kindly 
accept  our  thanks  for  a  copy  of  his  recent  publication,  "The 
Amateur  Trainer,  the  Force  System  Without  the  Whip." 
This  work  is  worthy  of  more  than  bassing  mention.  It  is 
admirably  written,  and,  moreover,  is  practical  from  start  to 
finish.  The  minutest  detail  is  carefully  explained.  The 
principle  reflects  our  views  to  the  letter.  Due  and  yet  not 
undue  attention  isgiven  to  yard  breaking,  a  part  of  the  edu- 
cation of  a  dog  too  often  neglected.  This  book  Is  almost  in- 
dispensable to  every  sportsman.  The  price  is  only  $1,  conse- 
quently it  is  within  the  reach  of  all.  Among  the  many  well 
known  Eastern  fanciers  who  heartily  endorse  this  work  may 
be  mentioned  the  well-known  writer  and  breeder,  Wm.  C' 
Kennerly  ("Old  Dominion"). 


Four  Dogs. 


I. 
The  han'somest  dog  I  ever  see 

(Said  Brooks,  with  a  knowing  leer) 
Was  one  the  General  lent  to  me, 
An,  said  he  was  good  for  deer. 
Now  everything  proceeded  right 
So  lone;  as  you  kep'  the  fool  in  sight ; 
But  all  at  once  perhaps  he'd  see 
A  red-tailed  squirrel  agin  a  tree, 
Ormaybea  mother-bird  distressed 
For  fear  some  fellow  would  find  her  uest  ; 
An'  oiice  a  rabbit  family  meek, 
A-playin'  the  game  of  hide-an'-seek. 
Or  often  a  wavin'  bush  or  limb 
Would  seem  for  to  make  a  dive  at  him  ; 

Whatever  would  thus  appear, 
He'd  start  right  ofl  for  it.  erazy-ijuick, 
The  same  as  a  two-foot  luuatie  ; 
His  mind  would  probablv  loose  its  grip 
Concernin'  the  object  of  the  trip  ; 
An'd  he'd  come  home  some  time  that  day, 
A-lookin'  as  if  to  try  to  say, 

"You're  all  of  ye  eq'al  queer  !" 

II. 

The  savagest  dog  I  ever  see 

(Said  Snooks,  with  a  thoughtful  air) 
Was  one  the  Governor  lent  me. 

And  said  be  was  good  for  bear. 
An'  he  was  an  interestin'  sight, 
A-gettiu'  the  other  dogs  to  fight ; 
He'd  boldly  draw  'em  up  t'  the  game  ; 
An'  hurl  anathemas  on  the  same  ; 
They'd  follow  him  straight ,  an'  own  the 

corn, 
That  he  was  a  regular  leader  born  ; 
But  when  the  bear  would  open  his  jaws. 
An'  make  a  parenth'sis  of  his  paws, 
This  dog  stepped  back  with  merciful 

smile, 
An'  let  the  other  ones  lead  awhile. 

But  still  he  would  skirmish  near. 
An'  yell,  blaspheme,  an'  tear  aroun' 
The  outer  parts  of  the  battle  grouu' ; 
An'  pass  his  comrades,  wounded  red. 
To  worry  the  »nimal  when  twas  'dead  ; 
Then,  spick  an'  span  as  a  dog  could  be,    ■ 
He'd  say,  with  a  wag  and  a  wink  at  me, 

"  I've  hdman  natur  to  spare  !" 

III. 

The  fooliest  dog  I  ever  see 

i  Said  Crooks— same  afternoon) 
Was  one  the  Coroner  traded  me, 

An'  said  he  was  good  for  'coon. 
An'  he  was  a  cur  ot  fuir  appear, 
An'  carried  the  blood  for  a  hue  career  ; 
But  e'en  a'most  every  other  night, 
As  soon  as  the  moon  would  bob  in  sight. 
He'd  chase  it  off  in  elegant  style. 
For  somethin'  less  than  a  hundred  mile  ; 
He'd  kecpa-goin',  an'  never  stop, 
t'ntil  he  was  all  prepared  to  drop; 
Bui  if,  by  chance,  he  could  stay  it  down, 
He'd  think  he  had  ruu  it  out  ot  lowu. 

An'  next  day.  not  too  soon. 
All  covered  over  with  conscious  shame, 
Because  he'd  failed  to  bag  hi*  game 
He'd  sneak  it  home  with  a  lengthened  jaw, 
As  if  he  had  married  a  mother-in-law: 
Yd  seemed  to  be  sayln',  I  had  a  whim. 
To  them  who  tried  for  to  laugh  at  him, 

"You've  all  of  you  got  your  moon  1" 

IV. 

The  homeliest  dog  I  ever  see 

I -mi id  Spuokes.  with  an  air  of  thought  > 
Was  one  [he  Minister  gave  to  me. 

An'  said  he  was  rood  for  naught 
But  somehow  'r  other,  day  by  day, 
ii.  Btraek  hlsRalt.au1  he  made  liis  way  ; 
HeJ'ined  the  family,  one  by  one, 
But  didn't  perform  as  the  pampered  sou  ; 
He  carried  a  cheerful  tall  an'  face, 
But  wasn't  desirous  to  embrace  i 
He  didn't  go  sniffing  along  our  track. 
But  at'aya  was  glad  to  see  us  back  , 
He  helped  al  bnntln'  an*  loved  the  fun, 
But  al'aye  lenowed  who  carried  the  gun  ; 

He  Bcnemed  an1  worked  and  Eeusbi 

To  keep  the  thievurs  from  our  abode, 

ver  would  superintend  the  road  . 
He  m  waged  to  bo  our  love  and  prido : 

An'  when  that  fellow  fell  down  an'  died, 

He  had  H  buryin1  such  as  men 

Gets  give  to  Vm  only  now  an'  then  ; 
For  honesty  can't  be  bought  ! 


Coursing  at  Newark. 


The  benefit  to  our  popular  coursing  correspondent,  Mr.  J. 
E.  Dickson,  held  at  Newark,  Cal.,  on  February  4th  under 
the  auspices  of  the  San  Francisco  Coursing  Club,  was  fairly 
well  attended  and  brought  out  thirty-two  entries,  including 
some  of  the  best  hounds  in  the  State. 

About  130  leashmen  were  on  the  grounds,  and  one  and  all 
enjoyed  themselves  thoroughly.  The  park  is  in  superb  con- 
dition, a  short  growth  of  grass  forming  a  perfect  carpet  for 
the  dogs  to  run  on.  The  weather  was  all  that  couli  be  de- 
sired, albeit  a  bit  cold,  yet  not  uncomfortably  so.  The  hares 
were  for  the  most  part,  strong  and  ran  well.  The  officers  of 
the  day  were :  Judge,  John  Grace  ;  slipper,  James  Wren; 
slip  steward,  J.  R.  Dickson;  flag  steward,  G.  Begley;  field 
stewards,  J.  J.  Edmonds,  J.  Cranston  and  J.  Eagan.  Though 
there  were  a  number  of  hares  left  in  the  breeding  park,  sev- 
eral undecided  courses  used  up  those  in  the  park  proper,  and 
as  there  was  not  sufficient  time  for  a  second  drive,  the  last 
four  dogs  left  in  divided  the  purse.  Jas.  Wren  never  slipped 
better  in  his  life.  He  is  a  born  athlete  and  we  doubt  if  a  bet- 
ter slipper  ever  lived.  Judge  Grace  was  well  mounted,  kept 
well  up  to  his  dogs,  and  gave  very  just  decisions,  as  usual. 
The  first  pair  of  dogs  to  slip  were : 

Garryowen-Bonnie  Lass. — A  short  course.  Garryowen  won 
the  run-up,  and  took  two  turns  out  of  puss,  when  Lass  took 
possession,  but  turned  wide  and  let  Garryowen  in  again  im- 
mediately. The  hare  ran  to  earth,  a  very  unsportsmanlike 
action  and  one  not  often  indulged  in  by  California  Jacks. 
Garryowen  won  handily. 

Long  John-Queen  Bess. — Another  short  course.  To  be  sure 
Long  J  ohu  is  an  exceptionally  good  big  one,  but  Bess  is  very 
clever,  and  the  spectators  wanted  to  see  a  good  race.  The  hare 
was  a  good  one,  but  immediately  after  the  first  turn  it  went 
through  a  small  pond  of  water  and  a  wet  hare  is  always  a  poor 
runner.  Queen  Bess  was  the  first  from  slips,  but  in  a  long 
run-up  Long  John  passed  her  and  made  first  turn  when  Queen 
tripped,  and  Long  John  killed. 

Dashaway- Wat  tie  Bloom. — This  was  a  long  course  to  a 
working  hare.  Dashaway  led  the  ruu  up  from  a  rather  long 
slip,  but  the  little  Australian  bitch  was  right  with  him  on 
the  first  turn,  but  Dashaway  kept  possession  with  Wattle 
Bloom  a  close  second.  Wattle  Bloom  killed.  She  is  but  a 
puppy.  On  her  first  appearence  here  we  stated  that  she 
would  prove  of  exceptional  quality,  and  should  she  keep  on 
improving  she  will  make  the  fact  evident  to  every  one. 
Dashaway  won,  but  Wattle  Bloom  was  fast  rolling  up  a  score 
at  the  finish. 

Mo  on  dyne-Chief  of  Valley — This  pair  got  to  fighting  in 
the  slips,  and  Chief  broke  away,  found  a  hare  and  coursed 
it  until  Frisco  Boy  and  Wattle  Bloom  also  broke  away  and 
put  an  end  to  the  fun.  After  the  next  two  heats  were  run 
they  were  again  placed  in  slips  and  Moondyne  showed  his 
breeding  (El  Bey — Verdure  Clad),  by  winning  a  hotly  con- 
tested course.  Moondyne  secured  the  run-up  and  first  turn 
at  a  very  fast  pace,  and  held  possession.  He  turned  rather 
wide  at  first,  but  improved.  Chief  established  a  go-bye  on 
one  reach,  but  the  moment  the  youngster  saw  his  opponent 
had  passed  him  he  doubled  himself  up  like  a  jackknife,  and 
when  he  had  let  himself  loose  for  a  couple  of  strides  he  was 
a  length  ahead  of  Chief.    Moondyne  killed. 

Frisco  Boy-Pennie  Royal. — The  latter  won  the  run-up  and 
first  two  turns,  when  Frisco  Boy  got  in  on  Pernie  Royal's 
wrench  and  held  possession  for  a  turn  or  two.  Then  came  an 
interchange  to  a  working  hare,  Pennie  Royal  having  the  best 
of  it.     Pennie  Royal  won. 

Tom  Hayes-Spite. — Tom  won  the  run-up  ?nd  turn.  The 
hare  favored  Spile,  and  he  made  the  next  two  turns,  then 
Tom  Hayes  got  in  and  kept  possession  until  the  finish,  win* 
ning  with  something  to  spare. 

Daisy-Slim  Jim. — The  daughter  of  Midnight  won  the 
run-up.  a  wrench  and  three  turns.  Slim  Jim  the  fourth  and 
the  kill.    Daisy  won. 

Mary  Ann—Nellie  Bly. — Nellie  begins  to  show  age,  and 
though  clever  still,  Mary  Ann  defeated  her  easily.  Mary 
Ann  won  the  run-up  by  a  rod,  and  kept  possession,  Nellie 
only  getting  in  for  one  turn  and  the  kill.     Mary  Ann  won, 

Kegent-Salvator — The  former  won  one  of  the  longesl 
courses  of  the  day,  clearly  outfooting  Salvator  at  every  turn, 

Jennie    G.-Jini    Corbett — The  latter  a  nine  months' pup 
Jennie  won  a  straight  run-up  and  kill.    Jim  got  away  agaii 
and  showed  his  gameness  by  coursing  two  hares  until  th< 
both  escaped. 

Swede -Marvelous — Another  one-sided  course.  Marveloi 
a  son  of  Black  Bess,  having  it  all  his  own  way,  Swede  on 
getting  in  once,  when  the  hare  favored  him. 

Julia  C.-Exlex — The  latter  wou  the  run-up  and  turn,  Julii 
not  getting  in  until  the  third  or  fourth  turn,  when  the  worl 
began  to  be  close.  She  worked  her  hare  well,  turning 
markably  close  to  the  hare  but  Exlex  won  with  something  t< 
spare. 

Wee  Lassie-White  Rustic — Wee  Lassie   went  from  sli; 
like  a  rocket  and  led  well  to  the  hare,  but  fell  in  first  tm 
The  fall  put  her  well  in  the  rear.     She  got  in  again,  howev< 
and  kept  in  for  several  turns,  killed  and  won  with  somethin: 
to  spare. 

Maggie  M.-Lazy  Girl — Maggie  won  the  nm  up  and  6 
turn.  On  the  second  the  hare  ran  into  the  enclosure  aboi 
the  grand  stand  but  Maggie  pressed  her  quarry  hotly,  killi 
and  won. 

Dottie  Dimple-Kingston — The  latter  led  from  slips  bi 
Dottie  caught  up  just  as  he  forced  the  quarry  to  a  turn.  Dot, 
tie  took  possession  at  once  and  after  a  turn  or  two  picked  ht 
hare  up  and  made  a  beautiful  kill.     Dottie  won. 

Natty-White   Cloud — Natty,  though  a  dangerous  dog  t 
meet,  was  decisively  beaten  by  the  white  bitch.    She  won  " 
run  up  and  worked  very  true,  winning   a  good   course  to 
working  hare  with  something  to  spare.     Natty  killed 

FIRST   TIES. 

Garryowen-Long  John — A  long  run-up.  Long  John  fii 
from  slips  and  first  to  the  hare.  He  secured  a  turn  and  kil 
Garryowen  beaten  pointless. 

Dasliawav-Moondyne. — The  latter  won  the  run-up 
first  turn,  then  Dashaway  took  possession,  Moondyne  co 
in  at  the  finish,  Dashaway  killed  and  won. 

Pennie  Royal-Tom  Hayes. — The  latter  was  credited 
the  run-up,  two  turns  and  a  kill. 

Daisy-Mary  Ann — Daisy  won  the  run-up  and  turn,  Mai 
Ann  the  second  and  kill.  Undecided.  When  slipped  agar 
Daisy  led  from  slips  won  first  turn  and  kept  her  hare  hue 
ling  for  two  more,  when  Mary  Ann  got  in  for  a  couple  ■

points  and  the  kill,  killing  too  quick  for  her  own  good,  Daisy 
won. 

Regent-Jennie  G. — Jennie  got  the  first  two  turns,  Regent 
the  third  and  fourth,  Jennie  the  fifth,  sixth  and  kill.  Jennie 
won.  She  is  very  clever  and  can  generally  be  relied  upon 
for  a  good  run. 

Marvelous-Exlex — Marvelous  (late  Home  Rule)  showed  a 
splendid  burst  of  speed.  He  won  the  run-up,  first  turn,  wrench 
and  kill. 

We*?  Lassie-Maggie  M. — Wee  Lassie  had  it  all  her  own 
way,  doing  all  the  work  for  sis  turns  and  a  kill. 

.Dottie  Dimple-White  Cloud. — This  excellent  pair  were  in 
hard  luck.  When  the  first  hare  jumped  the  bitches  got  ex- 
cited and  tangled  themselves  all  up  in  the  slips,  the  slips 
finally  breaking  and  the  pair  getting  away  with  them  hang, 
ing  to  their  necks.  It  was  amusing  to  hear  the  comments  of 
the  spectators  at  the  even  run-up.  They  were,  very  naturally 
neck  and  neck  until  the  first  turn,  when  the  slips  broke  again 
and  White  Cloud  being  free  from  them,  killed  after  one  more 
tarn.  Another  pair  of  slips  were  procured  but  White  Cloud 
broke  from  them.  She  was  unsighted,  however,  and  was  im- 
mediately caught  up.  Slipped  the  third  time,  this  beautifully 
matched  pair  did  some  very  clever  work.  Dottie  was  un- 
sighted for  a  moment  but  soon  c*ught  up  and  won  a  good 
course  to  a  working  hare,  by  only  two  points. 

SECOND  TIES. 

Long  John-Dash  a  way. — The  former  won  the  run-up  and 
kept  possession  for  four  or  live  points,  when  Dashaway  took 
possession  for  a  time,  but  Long  John  won  with  a  lot  to  spare. 

Tom  Hayes-Daisy. — They  were  both  unsighted,  but  Daisy 
soon  caught  sight  and  the  dog  was  quick  to  follow  her.  A 
good  race  to  a  good  hare,  but  Daisy  did  the  majority  of  the 
work  and  won  rightly  enough. 

Jennie  G-Marvelous. — Jennie  was  the  first  from  slips,  but 
Marvelous  outfooted  her  in  the  run-up  and  only  let  Jennie  in 
for  an  occasional  turn.  Marvelous  picked  up  his  hare  when 
passing  the  grand-stand  and  made  a  very  clever  kill.  Mar- 
velous won. 

Wee  Lassie-Dottie  Dimple. — This  pair  were  very  evenly 
matched,  and  it  took  three  courses  to  decide  which  was  in  the 
best  form.  In  the  first  undecided  Wee  Lassie  won  the  run- 
up and  turn,  Dottie  one  turn  and  kill.  The  second  time  Wee 
Lassie  was  again  the  first  from  slips.  She  turned  the  hare 
to  Dottie,  who  then  pressed  puss  for  another  turn  and  a  kill. 
The  third  attempt  was  more  successful.  Dottie  secured  three 
turns  and  the  kill,  Wee  Lassie  getting  in  but  once.  Dottie 
won. 

THIRD  TIES. 

An  attempt  was  made  to  run  off  the  third  ties,  but  there 
not  being  enough  hares  in  the  field,  it  was  given  up  after  an 
undecided  race  between  Long  John  and  Daisy,  in  which 
Daisy  got  the  first  turn  and  Long  John  the  second  and  kill. 
The  purse  was  then  divided  between  the  four  unbeaten  dogs. 

During  the  lunch  hour  a  match  for  $10  a  side  was  run  off 
between  B.  Doherty's  blk  b  Maud  S.  by  Royal  Crest — Daisy 
and  J.  McBride's  blk  b  Tempest.  The  former  wanted  four  days 
of  being  twelve  months  old, and  the  latter  has  turned  her  thir- 
teenth month.  Tempest  was  the  favorite  in  the  pools  at  2  to 
1.  On. being  slipped  Maud  S.  shot  at  once  to  the  front,  and 
after  a  good  run  got  the  turn.  Tempest  then  shot  in,  turned 
and  killed.  Both  dogs  were  again  ordered  to  slips,  and  a 
fine  hare  was  soon  started.  The  course  that  followed  was  a 
fine  one.  Maud  S.,  after  a  long  run,  got  the  turn  and  worked 
well  for  the  next  two,  letting  Tempest  in  for  a  point. 
Maud  again  took  possession  and  scored  fast,  when  Tempest 
a»ain  came  and  run  up  some  points  and  killed,  leaving  Maud 
S?  the  winner  by  three  points.  She  made  nine  altogether, 
and  Tempest  scored  six. 

ThiB  is  the  first,  we  think,  of  Royal  Crest's  progeny  that 
has  ever  appeared  in  public,  and  most  assuredly  she  showed 
up  splendidly  for  so  young  a  dog.  The  bitch  Daisy  that 
divided  the  All- Age  stake  is  her  dam.

i  We  heartily  second  the  remarks  of  John  H.  Matthews  in 
regard  to  a  list  of  our  champion  dogs.  The  Kennel  Gazette 
:ontains  a  very  incomplete  list.     One  would  naturally  think 

I -hat  the  official  list  was  both  correct  and  complete. 
A  breeder  speaks  of  his  dog  as  being  by  Champion  So- 
ind-So.  The  party  to  whom  he  speaks  looks  at  the  list  in 
,  he  Gazette  and  very  naturally  thinks  the  speaker  either 
gnorant  or  dishonest.  Let  us  have  a  list  of  champions  in- 
cluding not  only  the  dogs  now  living,  but  the  champions  of 
he  past. 


The  Brunswick  Fur  Club  have  adopted  the  following  stand 
ard  of  the  American  Foxhound  : 

"  The  best  type  for  an  all-round  American  foxhound  differs 
in  many  essential  pMnts  from  the  English,  though  the 
standard  for  judging  the  value  of  each  part  of  this  hound, 
with  two  exceptions,  should  be  the  same.  The  American 
hound  should  be  a  smaller  dog  and  lighter  in  bone  and  mus- 
cle, if  he  is  to  be  a  runner  of  endurance  with  killing  speed. 
Dogs  should  not  be  over  twenty-three  inches  nor  under 
twenty-one,  nor  weigh  more  than  sixty  pouned;  while  bitches 
should  be  from  twenty  to  twenty-two,  and  weigh  no  more  than 
fifty  pounds. 

A  hound  scoring  seventy-five  per  cent,  of  the  points  as 
hereinafter  sta'ed  will  outclass  at  every  point  in  hunting 
American  game  his  larger  English  congener.  In  formu- 
lating the  American  standard,  the  value  of  the  head  is 
reduced  from  15  to  10,  and  general  symmetry  increased  from 
5  to  10. 

The  bead  (value  10)  should  be  comparatively  small,  with 
the  muzzle  between  4  and  4J  inches  long,  square  and  slightly 
expanded  nostrils.  The  drops  short  and  well  folded  in.  The 
skull  may  be  either  doomed  or  rounded,  though  the  latter  is 
preferable.  There  should  be  sufficient  stop  to  give  symmetry 
to  the  head.  The  eyes  should  be  dark  brown  and  ears  medium 
or  6hort,  low  set  and  closely  pendant. 

The  ueck  (value  5)  should  be  slim  though  strong,  and  no 
trace  of  throatiness  should  exist.  It  may  be  straight  or 
slightly  arched  on  upper  surface. 

The  shoulders  (value  10)  should  be  of  sufficient  length 
to  give  leverage  and  power,  well  muscled,  but  with  a  clear 
run,  and  not  too  broad.  The  scapuke  should  incline  toward 
the  center  on  top,  to  give  an  almond  shape. 

Chest  and  back  ribs  (valne  10) — The  chest  should  be  deep 
for  lung  space,  the  English  standard  of  30  inches  in  a  24- 
inch  hound  being  good,  though  a  shallower  chest  with  well 
sprung  ribs  gives  just  as  good  wind.  The  back  ribs  should 
extend  so  far  that  only  a  couple  of  inches  of  flank  exists. 

The  back  and  loin  (value  10)  should  be  broad,  short  and 
strong,  straight  or  slightly  arched.  There  should  be  a  straight 
line  from  side  of  back  to  prominence  of  hip,  to  give  proper 
strength  of  coupling. 

The  hind  quarters  and  lower  thighs  (value  10)  should  be 
strongly  muscled  if  the  bound  is  to  have  speed  and  endur- 
ance.    The  ham  should  be  nearly  straight  behind". 

The  stifles  should  be  low  set  but  not  too  much  beot.  There 
is  such  a  thing  as  having  too  much  muscle  in  this  quarter  for 
freedom  of  movement,  and  in  consequence  speed  is  reduced 
and  grace  of  movement  compromised. 

The  elbows  (value  5)  should  be  set  straight,  but  not  too 
much  in  for  perfect  freedom  of  motion,  but  otherwise  speed 
would  be  compromised  and  the  hound  would  be  liable  to  sore 
in  shoulder  from  friction  during  every  long  run. 

Legs  and  feet  (value  20)  are  of  the  utmost  importance,  for 
if  they  are  not  of  the  best  they  will  never  hold  a  hound  up 
duriug  an  all-day  run  in  even  a  smooth  country,  while  in  a 
rough  one  he  would  soon  become  a  quitter.  The  legs  should 
be  straight,  placed  squarely  under  shoulder  and  have  plenty 
of  bone  without  clumsiness.  A  slight  ankle  at  knee  certainly 
gives  strength  to  the  joint  and  maintains  straightness  of  leg. 
Of  course  the  foot  should  be  round,  close,  cat  like,  not  too 
large,  well-knuckled  and  horned  and  placed  at  right  angle  to 
leg. 

Color  and  coat  (value  5).  A  good  hound  cannot  have  a 
bad  color.  Of  course  the  black,  white  and  tan  markings, 
with  the  various  "  pies,"  are  conventional  and  should  be  given 
the  preference,  though  crossing  with  the  harrier  has  made 
blue  mottled  and  tan  markings  perfectly  legitimate  in  the 
American  hound.  The  coat  should  be  coarse  though  less  so 
than  the  English. 

The  stern  (value  5)  should  be  of  medium  length,  carried 
like  a  sabre,  and  with  good  brush.  A  docked  stern  should 
not  disqualify  a  hound,  but  simply  handicap  him  in  points 
according  to  extent  of  docking. 

Symmetry  (value  10). — The  form  of  a  hound  should  be 
harmonious  throughout  if  the  highest  speed  and  endurance 
are  to  be  obtained,  and  this  is  so  important  that  its  value  has 
been  doubled  over  the  Eaglish  standard.  He  should  show 
his  blood,  quality  and  hound  character  in  every  aspect  and 
movement. 


A    Dog   Poisoner    Caught. 

The  action  brought  by  John  Mariner  through  James  "W. 
Mariner,  his  guardian  ad  litem,  to  recover  $299.99  damages 
from  W.  Eichoff  for  poisoning  a  dog  on  November  25, 1893, 
the  property  of  the  plaintiff,  was  commenced  on  Thursday 
last  before  Justice  McNoble  at  Stockton,  Cal. 

Mariner  is  18  years  of  age  and  a  teamster  by  occupation. 
He  resides  with  his  parents  over  Martini's  grocery  store, 
corner  Center  and  Sonora  streets.  The  defendant  keeps  a 
butcher  shop  adjoining  the  grocery. 

Young  Mariner,  who  was  reprasented  by  A.  H.  Ashley, 
his  counsel,  testified  that  about  5  o'clock  on  the  morning  of 
November  25th  last  he  was  awakened  by  his  father,  who 
called  his  attention  to  the  condition  of  his  cocker  spaniel. 
The  animal  was  stiffening  up  and  in  convulsions,  and  his 
eyes  were  glassy.  He  gave  him  milk  and  a  bottle  of  sweet 
oil.  The  dog  died  about  9  o'clock.  He  considered  him 
worth  $25. 

Cross-examined  by  Arthur  L.  Levinsky,  counsel  for  the 
plaintiff,  the  witness  said  he  had  offered  to  give  the  dog  Bway 
to  Sohn  McConnell  if  the  dog  would  follow  him,  five  months 
before  he  was  poisoned.  He  denied  that  the  dog  was  in  the 
habit  of  running  out  and  barking  at  Chinamen.  The  dog 
would,  however,  join  any  pack  of  dogs  running  amuck  on  the 
streets  barking  or  fighting.  The  dog  had  not  been  assessed 
as  personal  property,  no  taxes  had  been  paid  on  him  and  he 
had  no  license  tag. 

On  his  redirect-examination  the  witness  testibod  that  a 
sheepherder  had  offered  him  $50  for  the  dog  a  year  ago  last 
summer 

Martini  testified  that  he  took  a  piece  of  heart  out  of  the 
dog's  mouth  at  the  time  he  showed  symptoms  of  poisoning. 

Mrs.  Mariner,  the  plaintiff's  mother,  testified  that  Eichoff 
told  her  that  he  had  put  out  the  poison  for  dogs  ;  that  he  was 
very  sorry  the  Mariner  dog  was  poisoned,  aud  that  he  would 
get  another  dog  for  her. 

Peter  Rossi,  who  at  the  time  of  the  poisoning  was  working 
for  the  defendant,  was  called  for  the  defense.     He  said  that 


he  saw  the  Mariner  dog  at  6;30  in  the  morning  of  November 
25th,  in  EichofTs  back  yard  taking  a  piece  of  poisoned  meat 
out  of  a  swill  barrel. 

Eossi  was  made  the  plaintiffs  witness  also,  when  he  testi- 
fied that  he  saw  Eichoff  put  out  tha  poisoned  meat  on  the 
night  of  November  24th  on  the  sidewalk  in  front  of  his  shop, 
where  two  calves  were  hanging.  Witness  took  the  poisoned 
meat  back  at  6:30  a.  m.  on  the  25th  of  November  and 
dumped  it  into  the  swill  barrel.  On  cross-examination  he  said 
he  knew  it  was  poison  because  the  dog  died. 

In  his  argument  Mr.  Levinsky  declared  the  dog  was  not 
property,  because  he  had  not  been  assessed  as  property,  and 
that,  moreover,  he  was  a  trespasser,  and  that  the  eliment  of 
contributary  negligence  was  present  when  the  dog  raided  the 
swill  barrel  in  EichofTs  back  yard.  If  the  poison  had  |been 
taken  from  the  sidewalk  by  a  licensed  dog  there  would  be,  re- 
marked the  lawyer,  a  ground  for  claiming  damages.  The 
placing  of  the  poison  on  the  street  was  not  an  unlawful  at 
tempt  to  maliciously  and  wantonly  poiton  the  dog. 

Mr.  Ashley  ridiculed  i he  idea  of  applying  the  doctrine  of 
contributary  negligence  to  tne  dog,  which  was  not  the  plain- 
tiff in  the  case.  He  contended  that  dogs  were  property, 
licensed  or  not.  He  asked  why  the  defendant  had  not  taken 
the  stand.  Was  it  because  he  dare  not  contradict  Mrs.  Mari- 
ner's testimony?  Counsel  asked  for  a  judgment  for  exemplary 
damages. 

On  Friday  Jussice  McNoble  ordered  Eichoff  to  pay  $25  and 
costs  of  suit.  Mariner  would  have  unquestionably  bave  got 
more  for  his  dog,  but  as  he  only  valued  it  at  $25"  he  has  no 
cause  for  complaint  on  that  score. 

We  trust  that  the  Stockton  dog  fanciers  will  succeed  as  well 
with  the  charge  of  felony,  and  give  this  scoundrel  his  just 
deserts. 

Pacific  Kennel  Glub. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Kennel  Club  brought 
out  but  fifteen  members:  Messrs  E.  W.  Briggs,  C.  A.  Haight, 
H.  Orear,  T.  J.  Wattson,  Dr.  F.  W.  Skaife,  J.  D.  Owens, 
P.  D.  Linville,  H.  Spencer,  H.  T.  Payne,  Thos.  Higgs,  H.  C. 
Golcher,  Wm.  Schreiber,  J.  H.  Sammi,  Andrew  Lorsbach 
and  A.  Russell  Crowell. 

After  the  regular  order  of  business  was  attended  to,  the 
Bench  Show  committee  reported  that  they  had  canvassed 
the  city  thoroughly  but  could  find  no  place  suitable  for  the 
purpose  and  could  get  no  satisfaction  from  the  Midwinter 
Fair  people  and  in  consequence  advised  the  club  to  post- 
pone the  show  for  one  year.  After  a  short  discussion  of  the 
question  it  was  put  to  vote  and  unanimously  decided  that 
the  show  be  postponed.  The  Bench  Show  Committee  were 
then  honorably  discharged. 

The  resignation  of  J.  H.  Walkingtoo  was  read  aod  accepted. 
Messrs.  Allender  and  Loud  were  dropped  from  the  roll  for 
non-payment  of  dues. 

After  the  meetiog  adjourned  there  was  considerable  talk 
about  establishing  a  club  room.  This  is  a  project  that  we 
have  been  advocating  for  the  past  two  years  and  we  still 
believe  it  would  bring  the  club  many  new  and  valuable 
members  and  prove  a  great  success.  We  would  then  have  a 
place  to  take  our  visitors  from  other  portions  of  the  state, 
where  they  could  talk  dog  to  their  hearts  content  and  read 
the  sportsmen's  literature  of  the  day.  The  members  would 
gladly  contribute  trophies  of  the  chase,  pictures  and  orna- 
ments and  the  room  could  be  made  very  attractive  at  a  small 
cost. 

The  Columbia  Kennel  Club. 

At  a  meeting,  held  on  Thursday  evening  of  last  week,  the 
Oregon  and  Portland  Kennel  clubs  were  consolidated  under 
the  name  of  the  Columbia  Kennel  Club.  All-the  past  differ- 
ces  had  been  settled,  and  the  utmost  good  feeling  prevailed 
throughout  the  meeting. 

Permanent  organizations  was  effected,  and  the  following 
officers  selected : 

President,  Dr.  F.  Cauthorn  ;  first  vice-president,  Joseph 
Bowles;  second  vice-president,  Ivan  Humason;  third  vice- 
president,  J.Sesd;  recording  secretary  Fred  A.  Dunham;  finan- 
cial secretary,  George  C.  Strow. 

A  bench  show  committee,  consisting  of  Messrs.  Joe  Bowles, 
George  C.  Strow,  J.  W.  Keene,  F.  Westenfelder  and  W.  J. 
Riley  was  elected. 

The  new  club  starts  out  with  bright  prospects.  The  mem- 
bers are  all  enthusiastic  in  kennel  matters,  and  without  doubt 
a  successful  bench  show  will  be  given  in  this  city  in  the 
spring.  Already  inquiries  are  beginning  to  come  from  other 
States,  and  the  matter  is,  in  the  hands  of  the  gentleman  com- 
posing this  club,  sure  to  be  pushed  to  a  successful  issue. —

Change  of  Kennel  Name. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — Having  purchased 
a  number  of  dogs  from  the  Glenmore  Kennels  when  they 
were  owned  by  E.  B.  Bishop,  he  has  transferred  the  right 
and  title  to  the  pre6x  and  kennel  name,  "  Glenmore,"  to  the 
undersigned.  This  transfer  has  been  recorded  in  the  Kennel 
Gazette,  and  hereafter  the  Bay  View  Kennels  of  West  Berk- 
eley, Cal.,  will  be  known  as  the  Glenmore  Kennels.  Respect- 
fully, L.  L.  Campbell.

Those  who  intended  showing  dogs  at  San  Francisco  will 
now  have  to  combine  their  forces  and  help  out  our  sister  club 
at  Los  Angeles. 

Let  us  give  them  a  record  entry.  They  offer  this  year  $5 
and  $3  and  $3  and  $2  in  all  classes  and  this  should  prove  an 
incentive,  as  it  will  help  fo  pay  the  expenses  of  the  dogs 
capable  of  winning.

THE    GUN. 


CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


It  is  slated  that  over  2,0110  deer  were  killed  in  the  Adi- 
rondack region  during  1S93. 

The  Country  Club  will  bold  their  iirst  shoot  of  the  season 
on  Saturday,  February  24th. 

The  open  season  for  quail,  grouse,  snipe  and  rail  closed  in 
Kern  county  oq  February   Is*.  In  Siskiyou  county  ditto. 

Through  the  efforts  of  the  Country  Club  the  open  season 
for  quail  iu  Maria  county  has  been  extended  to  March  1st. 

We  are  informed  that  two  deer  were  openly  exposed  for 
sale  at  the  Bay  City  Market  this  week.  Here  is  a  chance 
for  the  Fish  Commissioners. 


The  Colgate  rescuing  party  have  been  obliged  to  return  ow- 
ing to  deep  snow.  They  reached  the  mouth  of  Black  Canon 
but  were  unable  to  proceed  further. 

At  the  recent  tournament  of  the  Hamilton  Gun  Club 
(Hamilton  Co.),  Mr.  W.  Edmoud  defeated  J.  A.  R.  Elliott  in 
a  50  bird  match,  with  a  tcore  of  47  to  45. 


Shooting  and  Fishing,  America's  authority  on  the  rifle,  has 
removed  its  headquarters  from  Boston  to  203  Broadway,  N. 
Y.    This  leaves  a  clear  field  for  the  American  Stock-keeper. 


It  ia  said  that  a  bill  will  be  presented  at  the  next  session  of 
the  Ontario  Legislature  to  prevent  live  pigeon  shooting  at  the 
traps  in  Canada.  The  gun  clubs  will  oppose  the  measure 
and  try  to  convince  the  legislators  that  such  a  law!  is  un- 
necessary. 


Messrs.  Clabrough,  Goicher  &  Co.  have  reuewed  their  con- 
tract for  (he  shooting  privileges  of  the  Oakland  race  track. 
They  will  be  ready  for  business  as  soon  as  the  weather  per- 
mits ibeoj  to  get  tilings  in  shape.  They  will  give  at  least 
two  of  their  popular  tournaments  during  the  season  and  the 
shooting  will  be  open  to  all,  as  formerly. 

The  E  T.  Allen  Co.  have  just  received  a  very  fiue  line  of 
cartridge  cases,  of  all  styles,  chamois  lined,  express  cases  and 
a  full  line  of  trap  shooting  supplies,  also  a  sheep  skin  lined 
sleeping  bag  that  is  an  indispensible  article  to  those  who,  for 
either  pleasure  or  business,are  compelled  to  sleep  in  the  open 
air,  or  in  the  mountains  when  after  big  game. 

The  late  A.  G.  Dule,  of  Manchester,  was  a  veteran  sports 
man,  savs  the  Stock-Keeper.  He  had  rounded  out  fourscore 
years  and  had  enjoyed  many  happy  days  with  shot  gun  and 
rifle.  Although  confined  to  his  house  for  a  number  of  years 
before  he  died,  with  rheumatism,  his  interest  and  fondness 
for  fishing  and  hunting  never  abated.  One  day,  in  conversa- 
tion with  bis  frieod  George  Bfcco,  likewise  an  ardent  and  ex- 
perienced sportsman  he  said  :  "George,  hunt  all  you  can. 
Don't  put  offlhe  day  until  it  is  too  late.  I  have  had  my  share 
of  fun  and  if  I  could  live  over  again  I  would  hunt  and  fish 
more  thau  I  have.  Good  health  is  better  than  money  and  in 
no  way  can  vou  acquire  it  more  surely  than  by  companion- 
ship with  the  woods  and  streams." 


The  Gun  Club. 


The  regular  annual  meeting  of  The  Gun  Club  was  held  at 
the  Occidental  Hotel,  San  Francisco,  on  Thursday  afternoon

Sprague,  F.  S.  Butler,  Robert  Oxnard,  R.  B.  Woodward,  H. 
W.  Woodward,  E.  P.  Eyre  and  W.  S   Kittle. 

The  secretary  and  treasurer's  report  was  read  and  approved. 
The  club  is  in  the  best  financial  condition  that  it  has  been 
for  eighteen  years,  and  do  not  owe  a  solitary  dollar. 

The  following  officers  were  the  only  persons  nominated  for 
the  positions,  and  were  elected  unanimously:  President,  J. 
M.  Kilgarif;  Vice-President,  II.  W.  Woodward;  Secretary- 
Treasurer,  J.  K.  Orr,  his  sixth  year  in  office. 

The  first  shoot  of  the  season  will  be  held  on  February  22d 
at  Oakland  Race  Track  at  10  a.  m.,  arrangements  having: 
been  made  with  Messrs.  Clabrough,  Goicher  &  Co.  for  the 
season. 

The  executive  committee  will  handicap  the  shooters  as  soon 
as  possible.  Alt  other  arrangements,  such  as  referee,  scorer, 
lunch,  etc.,  were  placed  with  the  executive  committee. 
Messrs.  Clabrough,  Goicher  &  Co.  will  provide  an  officer  to 
preserve  order  at  the  shooting  stand  and  the  club  will  provide

Criticised  the  Alligator. 

An  amusing  incident  occurred  on  Main  street  one  day  last 
week  in  front  of  the  aquarium  in  the  window  of  E.P.  Won- 
eon's  lunch  room  and  cigar  store.  Three  young  ladies,  one 
from  New  York,  the  other  from  Kansas  and  the  third  from 
Florida,  were  interested  spectators  of  the  young  alligator, 
which,  as  immovable  as  the  sphinx,  lay  on  the  window  ledge 
basking  in  the  sun. 

After  Hatching  the  saurian  for  some  minutes  the  young  lady 
from  the  South  spoke  up,  saying:  "The  man  who  stuffed 
that  alligator  did  not  know  his  business.  Why,  1  have  teen 
thousands  of  alligators,  and  none  of  them  in  life  ever  carry 
their  tail  or  curve  their  leg  in  thai  ridiculous  fashion." 

JtWt  then  the  alligator  gave  a  quiver,  opened  his  capacious 
jaws,  snapped  at  a  tly,  and  as  he  slid  into  a  tank  the  young 
lady  from  ajmuil  quite  positive  he  winked  an  eye."  The 
young  lady  from  Florida  subsided.- -Gloucester  (Mass.)

The  Midwinter  trap  shooting  tournament  will  he  held  on 
April  4ih  to  8th  inclusive  under  theauspices  of  the  California 
State  Sportsmen's  Association.  That  it  will  be  a  success  under 
this  management  eoch  without  saying.  This  tournament  will 
be  the  atti  Ive  feature  to  tin?  sportsmen  of  the  Western 
States  and  Territories  attending  the  Midwinter  Fair.  The 
programme  will  be  ready  for  distribution  very  shortly.  A 
very  Urge  attendance  from  tbc  entire  coast  is  assured. 


Sporting  Patents. 


The  following  list  of  United  States  patents  relating  to 
sporting  interests,  granted  on  the  Itith  and  23d  of  January,

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — The  annual  meeting 
of  the  Country  Club,  of  San  Francisco,  will    be   held   at   the 
rooms   oi  the   Pacific-Union  Club,  on  Wednesday   evening,

ROD- 

The  Fly  Casting  Tournament. 

The  committee  on  Fly  Casting  Tournament  at  the  Mid- 
winter Fair,  met  on  Tuesday  last  and  considerable  work  was 
accomplished.  Col.  G.  C  Edwards  occupied  the  chair  and 
W.  D.  Mansfield  acted  as  temporary  Secretary.  A  committee 
on  rules  and  regulations  to  govern  the  tournament  was  elected 
as  follows:  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards,  H.  C.  Basselt,  A.  M.  Curu- 
mings,  John  F.  Siebe,  Joseph  E.  Shain,  E.  T.  Allen,  W.  J 
Goicher,  W.  D.  Mansfield,  of  San  Francisco,  A.  J.  Willis,  of 
Truckee,  Wra.  J.  Vanel,  of  Los  Angeles  and  Wm.  Tevis,  of 
Bakersfield.  This  committee  will  report  on  February  20th, 
at  Parlor  A,  Palace  Hotel,  to  a  meeting  open  to  all  sports- 
men that  are  interested  in  angling. 

It  was  decided  to  hold  the  tournament  early  in  May.  The 
exact  time  and  place  to  be  determined  upon  at  the  meeting 
on  February  20th. 

*One  of  the  principal  objects  of  holding  an  open  meeting  is 
the  very  laudable  one  of  forming  a  lly  casting  or  angling 
club  San  Francisco  is  Lhe  only  city  of  its  size  that  does  not 
support  an  angling  club,  and  we  believe  that  our  most  enthu- 
siastic lly  casters  and  practical  anglers  will  eagerly  embrace 
this  opportunity  of  fostering  their  favorite  sport.  California 
should  not  be  at  the  tail  end  of  anything.  We  hope  to  see  a 
large  and  enthusiastic  attendance  and  the  foundation  laid  for 
a  solid  club,  that  will  make  its  influence  felt  far  and  wide. 


Spearing    Steelheads. 


The  hatching  and  distribution  of  young  salmon  still  goes 
merrily  on  at  Sisson.  The  salmon  will  shortly  give  place  to 
100,000  Eastern  brook  trout  spawn,  the  last  of  the  lot  taken 
during  the  past  season  at  Marlett  lake,  Nev.  The  remaining 
300,000  of  the  trout  spawn  are  now  in  process  of  hatching  at 
Bear  valley.  Distribution  of  the  trout  will  be  made  in  all 
the  mountain  streams  where  it  is  believed  that  these  fish  will 
thrive. 


The  Coming  Napa  Sale. 


It  has  been  the  custom  for  local  sportsmen  to  spear  steel- 
heads  (commonly  called  salmon}  as  soon  as  the  water  in  Las 
Uvas  creek  was  sufficiently  high  to  admit  of  them  coming 
up  the  creek  from  the  Pajaro  river.  The  right  to  do  this  has 
never  been  questioned  until  now.  We  were  asked  to  write  to 
Joseph  D.  Redding,  President  of  the  Board  of  Fish  Commis- 
sioners, and  ascertain  whether  it  was  lawful  to  catch  these 
fish  at  this  season  of  the  year  and  whether  steelheads  were 
classified  as  trout  In  answer,  President  Redding  says  that 
Dr.  Jordan  has  classed  them  as  trout  aud  cites  our  attention 
to  page  20  and  section  633  of  the  fish  and  game  laws  of  Cali- 
fornia, which  reads  as  follows: 

"  Every  person  who  take*:,  catches  or  kills,  or  exposes  for 
sale,  or  has  in  his  possession,  any  speckled  trout,  brook  or 
salmon  trout,  or  any  variety  of  trout,  between  the  first  day 
of  November  and  the  first  day  of  April  in  the  fallowing  year 
except  salmon  trout  taken  with  rod  and  line  in  tide-water,  is 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor."  Approved  March  17,  1891,  Stats. 
1S91  p.  110. 

It  will  be  seen  by  the  foregoing  that  it  is  unlawful  to  kill 
these  fish  at  this  season  of  the  year  and  all  who  do  so  are 
subject  to  conviction  and  fiue. — Gilroy  Gazette. 

There  are  6H  tish  hatcheries  in  the  United  States,  and  14 
in  Canada  and  Newfoundland  ;  and  I  hey  produce  1,616,027,492 
fish  hatched,  while  the  410'  hatcheries  in  Europe  yield  only 
277,978,016  young  Gsh  ;  the  average  production  of  one  hatch- 
ery being  13,400,00'' in  North  America  aud  668,000  in  Kurope. 
In  America  the  expense  is  borne  entirely  by  Government.  In 
Europe  the  work  is  mostly  private,  the  largest,  amount  of 
money  being  contributed  by  Germany,  although  Fiance  led 
all  countries  in  the  early  development  of  pisciculture.  Small 
Government  appropriations  are  made  by  Great  Britain, 
Russia,  Sweden,  Italy  and  the  Netherlands.  According  to 
Invention,  $35,000  represents  a  year's  total  expenditure  lor 
piscicukural  work  by  all  countries  of  Kurope. 

We  are  gradually  learning  something  about  the  habits  of 
fish.  The  world  was  startled  some  time  ago  when  a  gentle-  ' 
man  proved  that  a  tench,  which  had  been  out  of  the  water  ' 
four  hours,  could  be  revived  with  a  dose  of  braudy.  Dr.  j 
Lawrence  Hamilton,  who  certainly  is  deserving  of  unstinted 
praise  for  his  hard  work  in  connection  with  fishing,  found  i 
that  river  carp  enjoyed  water  at  106  degrees  Fah.,  but  they  | 
died  when  it  was  at  116  degrees  Fah.    Saussure  found  eels  in  ' 


By  referring  to  the  advertising  columns  our  readers  will 
observe  a  synopsis  of  the  catalogue  of  the  sale  of  stock  to 
be  held  at  the  Napa  race  track  February  21st.  This  sale 
will  include  every  trotter  and  pacer  owned  by  the  excellent 
judge  of  horseflesh  H.  W.  Crabb.  For  years,  this  gentleman 
has  been  selecting  a  class  of  trotters  and  pacers  that  would 
fulfill  his  ideal  of  what  a  fine  horse  should  be,  and  when 
these  trotters  are  led  into  the  salesring  the  unanimous  ver- 
dict of  those  assembled  will  be  that  his  ideal  was  a  very  good 
one.  For  size,  color,  individuality,  disposition  and  gait,  com- 
bined with  that  great  desideratum,  "speed,"  he  made  few 
mistakes,  aud  if  be  did  happen  to  make  one,  nobody  was 
made  the  wiser  of  it,  for  the  animal  was  disposed  of  at  less 
than  work  horse  prices.  The  list  of  producing  mares,  mares

Parkville  Farm  Loses  Jay  "Wilkes. 


For  the  second  time  this  month  John  H.  Shults  has  sus 
tained  the  loss  of  a  valuable  trotter.  Last  week  The  Rider 
and  Driver  announced  the  death  of  the  promising  filly,  Will 
helmine,  for  whom  Mr.  Shults  gave  $1,500  last  year.  The 
same  influenza  that  carried  off"  Wilhelmine  attacked  Jay 
Wilkes  soon  after.  Last  Tuesday  night,  when  he  had  appar- 
ently got  over  the  worst  of  the  trouble,  the  stallion  walked  to 
the  corner  of  his  stall  iu  the  farm  hospital  and  tumbled  over 
in  a  heap.  Dr.  William  Sheppard  had  just  left  his  patient 
and  Superintendent  W.  W.  Shuit,  who  remained  to  look  at 
the  sick  trotter,  found  that  he  was  dead. 

The  veterinary  surgeon  reurned  thunderstruck  at  the  un- 
expected turn,  and  decided  to  hold  a  post  mortem.  This  was 
done  the  nest  morning,  and  a  lump  of  fibrous  matter  was 
found  in  the  cleft  of  the  heart,  which  was  the  immediate 
cause  of  death. 

Jay  Wilkes  was  foaled  in  1S90,  bred  at  San  Mateo  Farm, 
California,  got  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  the  famous  mare 
Sweetness,  hy  Volunteer,  also  the  dam  of  Sidney,  2:19|.  He 
was  brought  to  New  York  last  January  along  with  other? 
from  the  same  farm,  and  Mr.  Shults  secured  him  for  §5,000. 
He  was  slow  to  becoming  acclimated,  but  had  been  going 
well  under  Trainer  Devy's  handling,  and  was  among  the  lot 
to  be  campaigned  this  year.  A  fine  animal,  chestnut  in  color, 
with  a  lot  of  speed.  Jay  Wilkes  was  a  very  valuable  horse, 
and  certain  to  have  made  a  reputation  on  the  turf  had  he 
lived. 

James  Carpenter,  of    Providence,  R.   L,   who   drove!) 
Henry  C,  2:15,  last  year,  will    have  Steve  Whipple,  2:12,  iu 
his  stable  this  year.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 

Strive  for  the  Best — While  writing  the  article,  under 
the  above  caption,  for  the  paper  of  last  week,  it  struck  me 
that  the  ideas  presented  demanded  more  extended  treatment, 
and  that  a  good  deal  of  amplification  might  be  profitable.  To 
convey  a  clearer  impression  of  the  subject  it  will  be  well,  per. 
haps,  to  start  from  the  beginning  and  that  would  be  to  a  per- 
son commencing  horse-breeding  "from  the  ground  up,"  the 
farm  on  which  the  horses  were  (o  bs  bred  and  raised.  But 
even  previous  to  the  selection  of  the  site  there  should  be  a 
clear  conception  of  the  purpose.  Strive  for  the  best  is  good 
counsel  in  any  country;  in  California  it  is  doubly  important. 
The  distance  from  the  best  markets  and  the  cost  of  transpor- 
tation demand  that  the  goods  be  valuable,  an  inferior  artiole 
entailing  as  much  expense  for  transportation  as  a  superior. 
The  sales  of  the  past  year,  at  home  aud  abroad,  have  shown 
that  breeding  alone,  however  excellent,  could  not  be  de- 
pended upon,  and  though  the  reasons  for  such  low  prices  as 
have  prevailed,  are  susceptible  of  explanation,  outside  of  the 
usual  cause  for  depreciation,  viz  ,  an  over  supply,  it  will  bs 
well  to  base  the  calculations  which  are  to  govern  in  the  fu- 
ture on  prices  which  are  fairly  ^ood.  There  has  been  a  won- 
derful shrinkage  in  the  values  of  nearly  all  kinds  of  property, 
in  the  value  of  light  harness  horses,  a  great  part  of  the  sink 
was  owing  to  the  holders  of  sales  forcing  them  on  the  market 
when  it  became  evident  that  there  was  to  be  a  big  downfall 
from  the  fanciful  figures  which  ruled  before  the  depression  ; 
there  was  a  veritable  stampede  all  over  the  couutry.  It  was 
a  race  which  would  reach  the  auction  block  first,  and  as  sale 
followed  sale  and  the  tendency  was  still  downward,  in  place 
of  holding  back  until  the  scare  had  partly  subsided,  there  was 
still  more  anxiety  to  unload.  And  this  demoralization  was 
not  confined  to  those  who  could  ill  afford  to  keep  up  the  ex- 
pense, the  wealthiest  breeders,  struck  by  a  frantic  desire  to 
"get  from  under,"  until  the  panic  became  a  riot,  wavering 
under  the  fire  of  the  first  volley,  thoroughly  disorganized 
when  the  battle  had  scarcely  began.  Division  after  division 
thrown  into  the  breach  when  the  bombardment  was  the  most 
severe.  There  is  no  kind  of  property  outside  of  the  metal 
which  is  now  the  lone  standard,  and  that  is  no  longer  prop- 
erty but  the  gauge  of  all  others,  that  could  withstand  such  a 
shock.  Were  railway  securities  thus  treated  not  one  black 
Friday,  a  whole  week  of  black  davs,  and  every  succesding 
week  adding  to  the  intensity  of  the  hue.  And  then  to  increase 
the  blackness  horses  cannot  be  locked  in  a  vault  to  lie  until 
there  is  a  change,  the  expense  of  feeding  and  attention  goes 
on,  aud  then  another  mistake,  retrenchment  is  the  order  and 
the  feed  reduced  to  the  minimum  required  to  sustain  fife. 
Hundreds  and  thousands  of  the  fouls  of  1S91,  1S92  and  1S93 
have  been  rendered  comparativelv  worthless  by  this  sordid 
treatment,  and  these  have  been  offered  in  such  abject  condi- 
tion that  it  was  surprising  that  a  discriminating  buyer  would 
make  a  bid  on  the  starvelings. 

All  of  these  circumstances,  however,  will  in  the  end, 
prove  advantageous  to  breeders  who  engage  in  the  business 
hereafter,  and  who  conduct  it  with  judgment.  There  are 
many  good  object  lessons  in  the  past  and  which  when 
studied  will  be  guides  for  the  future.  The  great  aim,  a 
high  rate  of  trotting  speed  ;  failing  in  that,  nearly  all  was 
lost.  The  much  vaunted  standard  a  delusion  and  a  snare. 
It  took  the  place  of  qualities  which  would  give  intrinsic 
value.  A  number  attached  to  a  name  cast  a  glamourie  over 
the  animal,  obscuring  what  would  have  been  too  palpable  to 
mislead  before  the  magical  vail  was  worn.  It  was  the  cause 
of  thousands  of  unworthy  animals  being  retained  entire  ;  of 
an  equal  number  of  mares  being  placed  in  the  stud  whose 
only  fitness  for  that  duty  a  line  in  the  Trotting  Register. 
Rank  heresy  though  it  may  appear  it  is  not  entirely  out  of 
bounds  to  claim  that  the  standard,  more  than  any  other  one 
cause,  has  been  the  cause  of  the  panic.  People  will  not 
discriminate,  that  is  the  great  mass  of  the  people,  and  when 
"  Standard  and  Registered"  mare,  and  fashionably  bred 
in  addition,  sells  for  forty  dollars  at  public  auction  with  a 
good  attendance  of  spectators  if  not  an  "  army  of  buyers,"  the 
whole  tribe  is  rated  alike.  Breeding  of  the  kind  that  can 
show  individual  excellence  in  a  majority  of  the  members 
belongiug  to  tribe  will  always  be  an  element  of  value, 
whether  it  is  standard  or  not  And  I  want  it  distinctly 
borne  in  mind  that  I  do  not  disparage  the  standard.  Of  two 
animals  which  are  alike  in  other  respects,  the  one  which 
had  the  diploma  should,  have  the  preference,  It  is  the  abuse 
and  not  the  sensible  application  that  I  protest  against. 
The  year  books  would  be  taken  in  connection  with  the 
Register  in  selecting  a  stallion,  and  performances  of  near 
kindred  carry  a  great  deal  of  influence  in  making  the  choice. 
But  all  of  these  highly  prized  attributes  would  be  held 
subordinate  tc  the  profession  of  qualities  which  always  bring 
high  prices,  and  whatever  may  be  the  result  in  the  future 
tbere  never  has  been  a  time  in  the  past  when  extra  good 
carriage  horses  did  not  command  a  large  price,  roadhorses, 
apart  from  the  type  which  rich  men  sought,  a  good  price, 
better  than  an  average  of  business  horses  a  fair  price. 

There  is  not  another  country  in  the  world  which  can  com- 
pete with  North  America  in  the  possession  of  stock  from 
which  can  be  produced  these  classes  of  horses  in  the  highest 
perfection.  Our  fast  trotters,  of  course,  are  so  far  in  the  lead 
that  there  is  no  chance  for  comparison,  and  the  efforts  that 
have  been  made  to  excel  in  that  line  will  be  of  material 
assistance  in  securing  the  others.  With  this  introduction  I 
will  postpone-the  description  of  the  breeding  farm  until  next 
week.  That  will  be  for  the  maintenance  of  what  may  be  con- 
sidered altogether  too  contracted  a  number  of  mares  to  secure 
profit,  but  my  belief  is  that  were  small  studs  the  rule  the 
aggregate  profits  would  be  much  larger.  Twenty  mares  at 
the  most,  twelve  a  good  deal  better  for  a  person  however 
large  his  capital  when  a  credit  balance  is  sought.  And  then, 
too,  the  model  farm,  I  have  in  view,  should  provide  every 
thing  in  the  way  of  hay,  grain  and  straw  that  is  needed  on 
the  place,  and  that  this  can  be  done  in  California  advantage- 
ously is  beyond  question,  and  which  if  I  fail  to  demonstrate 
will  be  a  sad  disappointment  to  the  writer.

Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. — From 
the  responses  to  the  circular  sent  out  a  short  time  ago  solicit- 
ing the  opinion  of  the  Pacific  Cuast  societies  on  the  above 
question  there  is  little  doubt  that  the  project  will   result  in 


the  establishing  of  a  governing  body  on  this  side  of  the  conti- 
nent. As  I  anticipated  there  is  only  one  point  to  be  consid- 
ered, oolv  one  issue  to  be  elevated  :  Can  there  be  equally  as 
good  service  with  the  same  expenditure  ? 

In  order  that  the  readers  of  the  Breeder  and  Si'ORtsman, 
outside  of  those  to  whom  the  circular  was  sent,  may  have  a 
full  understanding  of  the  subject  as  it  stands  a  copy  of  the 
circular  is  given  : 

Dear  Sir  : — Pursuant  to  instructions  from  the  Board  of 
Directors  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Asso- 
ciation, issued  at  a  meeting  held  on  December  27,  1893,  I  ad- 
dress you  to  solicit  your  cooperation  in  a  work  which  will 
advance  the  interests  of  trotting  and  pacing  in  this,  the  West- 
ern section  of  the  United  States.  That  is  the  organization  in 
California  of  a  similar  society  to  the  National  Association 
and  the  American  Trotting  Association.  The  advantages 
which  will  accrue  from  the  proposed  organization  are  so 
mauifest,  and  so  manifold,  that  there  is  little  necessity  for 
consideration  further  than  the  pecuniary  features. 

Members  of  the  National  have  to  transact  all  their  business 
with  an  office  at  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  of  the  American  at 
Chicago.  Momentous  questions  are  thus  delayed  of  the  ut- 
most importance  demanding  immediate  attention  and  cannot 
be  settled,  inasmuch  as  the  settlement  to  be  effectfve  must  not 
be  postponed  until  the  long  journey  is  completed. 

When  this  suhject  was  agitated  before  (several  years  ago) 
there  were  comparatively  few  associations  in  the  country 
which  would  naturally  fall  into  the  territory  embraced  by  a 
far-western  governing  body,  now  there  are  so  many  that  with 
the  same  expense  that  is  incurred  by  being  a  member  of  the 
Eastern  associations,  equally  as  good  service  will  be  forth- 
coming, and  with  a  good  prospect  of  reduction.  All  the  money 
that  should  be  required  by  a  society  of  this  kind 
is  the  amount  necessary  to  do  the  work  with  a 
sufficient  balance  to  provide  for  contingencies. 
Now  outside  of  the  "Trust  Fund"  on  Nov.  1,  1893,  the 
"  Financial  Statement"  of  the  National  Association  showed 
a  balance  of  $30,377.70.  The  expenses  from  Mav  1,  1893,  to 
November  1,  1893,  was  $9,623.18.  There  is  no  room  in  this 
notice  to  present  a  full  statement  of  the  accounts  of  the  N. 
T.  A.,  but  anyone  who  will  secure  a  copy  can  readily  satisfy 
himself  that  a  great  proportion  of  the  expenditures  could  be 
curtailed  without  detriment,  and  that  more  economical 
methods  would  be  beneficial  to  the  members  is  beyond  con- 
troversy- It  will  also  convince  anyone  who  questions  the 
sustention  of  the  contemplated  organization  by  the  funds  now 
sent  East,  that  it  can  be  done  without  in  the  least  imparing 
the  efficacy  of  the  service,  and  with  good  prospects  for  a  re- 
duction of  the  tax  within  a  year  or  two  after  the  organization 
is  perfected.  In  taking  this  initiatory  step  towards  securing 
the  benefits  which  will  follow,  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  has  no 
desire  to  occupy  a  more  prominent  position  than  any  other  of 
the  members,  but  as  it  is  necessary  that  there  should  be  a 
commencement,  this  call  is  issued  from  the  office  of  this  asso- 
ciation. That  San  Francisco  will  be  the  best  point  for  hold- 
ing the  first  convention  will  be  generally  conceded,  especially 
when  there  will  be  such  a  great  attraction  as  the  Midwinter 
Fair  to  add  to  the  pleasure  of  the  delegates  that  will  attend. 
You  will  confer  a  favor  by  giving  this  as  early  attention  as 
will  be  convenient.  As  Board  meetings  are  usually  held  dur- 
ing the  month  of  January,  it  may  be  that  this  will  reach  you 
in  time  te  be  acted  upon  then. 

Please  signify  the  dates  which  will  be  most  acceptable  to 
your  association,  and  the  time  of  the  convention  can  be  fixed 
by  a  majority  of  the  preferences  received. 

There  will  be  a  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  soon  after 
the  1st  of  February,  when  the  call  for  a  convention  will  be 
issued.     Very  respectfully  yours, 

F.  W.  Kelley,  Sec'y. 
The  replies  so  far  as  I  have  seen  at  the  time  of  writing 
have  been  unanimous  in  favor  of  organizing,  quite  a  number 
of  them  enthuiastically  so.  As  slated  before,  the  only  ques- 
tion is  that  of  expense,  or  rather.can  the  sums  now  sent  East 
for  membership  fines,  rules,  etc.,  be  so  administered  as  to 
give  equally  as  satisfactory  a  return  ?  When  the  nolice  of 
the  time  for  holding  the  convention  is  prepared  it  will  be 
well  to  request  that  the  delegates  from  the  several  associations 
bring  a  statement  of  what  has  been  paid,  and  with  these  to 
govern  a  very  short  time  will  be  required  to  come  to  a  trust- 
worthy conclusion.  Printing  and  clerical  work  will  be  all 
that  is  absolutely  necessary  to  provide  for,  as  there  is  scarcely 
a  question  that  people  so  thoroughly  in  favor  of  the  project 
will  be  willing  to  tender  their  services  without  fee  or  reward, 
other  than  the  good  of  the  cause,  for  the  labor  outside  of  the 
secretary's  office.  By  far  the  largest  outlay  of  the  Eastern 
associations  is  for  expenses  which  will  not  be  incurred  by  the 
contemplated  organization,  at  all  events  until  it  is  put  ou  a 
basis  that  will  justify  such  expenditure,  and  so  far  as  I  have 
heard  expressed  should  the  receipts  exceed  the  expenditure 
under  the  most  economical  management,  the  members  will 
receive  the  benefit  by  a  curtailment  of  the  dues. 

I  feel  the  utmost  confidence  that  if  the  Pacific  Trotting  and 
Pacing  Association  be  organized  by  the  middle  of  March,  that 
it  will  secure  a  larger  membership  in  1894,  than  the  National 
did  in  the  first  year  of  its  existenqe,  in  aU  probability  double, 
aud  it  may  be  still  larger  from  the  very  first.  That  conven- 
tion met  February  2, 1870,  forty-six  associations  and  proprie- 
tors of  tracks  being  represented.  I  had  the  honor  of  being 
one  of  the  two  Vice-Presidents,  and  enthusiast  and  optimist 
as  I  then  was  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  fast  horses,  had  any- 
one predicted  that  in  less  than  a  quarter  of  a  century  there 
would  be  over  thirteen  hundred  members  of  two  trotting  as- 
sociations, even  my  enthusiasm  could  not  have  been  stretched 
to  such  an  extent,  and  would  have  cheerfully  surrendered  the 
highest  chair  in  opticism  to  the  sanguine  prophet.  It  is  be- 
yond successful  contradiction  that  doubling  the  "  parent  as- 
sociations" had  the  effect  of  stimulatiogmemberehip;  in  fact 
there  are  good  reasons  for  the  belief  that  fully  twenty  per 
cent  of  the  growth  is  due  to  that  cause.  Without  any  other 
plea  than  that  of  convenience  for  the  establishment  of  a 
third  that  should  carry  conviction.  The  nearest  of  the  asso- 
ciations which  are  likely  to  become  members  of  the  proposed 
society  are  a  long  way  from  Chicago  and  Hartford.  There 
are  others  that  should  have  an  influence,  "  home  rule  "  being 
just  as  applicable  to  trottiDg  affairs  as  it  is  in  others  in  which 
mankind  are  interested.  But  when  the  question  hinges  en- 
tirely on  pecuniary  bearings  there  islittle  use  to  occupy  space 
in  argument.  In  every  one  of  the  communications  received 
in  reply  to  the  circular,  no  other  objection  is  offered,  though 
I  have  heard  some  doubts  expressed  whether  the  National 
and  American  would  recognize  penalties  inflicted,  or  collect 
delinquent  entrance  money  and  fines.  Reciprocity  is  a  po- 
tent word  in   these  days,  and  the  managers  of  both  these  as- 


sociations are  men  of  too  much  sense  to  arrogate  to  them- 
selves such  dictatorial  power,  and  assume  the  unpopularity 
which  would  follow.  So  far  the  comments  of  the  Eastern 
press  are  favorable,  and  >hen  it  is  proved  that  the  work  can 
be  done  for  the  money  it  now  costs,  and  equally  as  well  done 
Eastern  people  will  coincide  in  the  justice  of  the  movement'. 
Clark's  Horse  Review  has  the  following  pertinent  com- 
ments id  the  issue  of  January  30th  :  "  Instead  of  consolida- 
ting all  the  tracks  of  the  country  under  one  central  govern- 
ment, there  is  a  greater  probability  that  hereafter  three 
governing  associations  willexist,  for  a  well-defined  movement 
is  afoot  in  California  to  organize  a  Pacific  Coast  association, 
an  argument  in  favor  of  the  scheme  being  that  both  Hart- 
ford and  Chicago  are  too  far  away  from  the  coast  to 
make  the  affiliation  of  the  Pacific  tracks  with  the  present  as- 
sociations convenient.  The  Western  tracks  would  not  desire 
to  be  governed  by  an  association  in  the  East,  nor  vice  versa." 
_  The  last  sentence  presents  the  case  in  a  way  as  sensible  as 
it  is  brief.  Suppose  that  there  had  been  a  Pacific  Coast  asso- 
ciation actively  at  work  for  the  last  twenty-four  years,  and 
that  it  had  been  the  only  one.  New  England  has  a  hundred 
tracks  which  so  far  had  been  benefited  by  membership  in  the 
fur-away  association.  Strong  enough  now  to  do  their  own 
work  and  organize  for  that  purpose,  what  sort  of  effrontery 
would  it  be  to  threaten  with  a  punishment  which  would  be 
far  more  of  a  penalty  to  the  infiictor  than  the  one  the  blow 
was  aimed  at. 

That  there  will  be  "comity"  with  three  as  there 
is  with  two  is  so  clearly  assured  that  it  is 
unnecessary  to  give  a  thought  to  the  contrary. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  met  on 
Thursday,  the  8th,  and  the  Secretary  was  directed  to  send  no- 
tices to  all  the  associations  on  this  side  of  the  Rocky  Moun- 
tains that  a  convention  will  be  held  in  San  Francisco,  313 
Bush  street;  Wednesday,  March  Sth,  at  7:30  p.  m.,  each  asso- 
ciation to  have  three  delegates,  voting  restricted  to  one  vote 
for  each  association  or  proprietor.  This  feature  is  to  insure 
associations  or  proprietors  at  a  distance  the  same  voting  force 
in  the  convention  as  those  in  the  neighborhood  of  San  Fran- 
cisco. 

The  suggestion  offered  in  this  article  that  the  amounts  paid 
Eastern  Associations  for  the  season  of  1893  be  sent,  as  this 
will  be  the  main  dependence  for  deciding  the  only  question  at 
issue,  was  approved,  viz.,  equally  as  good  service  for  an  equal 
amount.

Not  Ruled  Off.— Dudley  Miller,  in  the  Horse  World 
copies  a  paragraph  from  the  N.  Y.  Sun  that  Frank  Van  Ness 
was  ruled  off  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Association 
and  reinstated  on  a  petition  signed  by  seventy  of  the  promi- 
nent horsemen  on  the  coast.  As  I  understand  the  situation 
he  was  not  ruled  off,  but  notified  that  his  entries  would  not 
be  received  and  that  he  must  vacate  the  stalls  occupied  by 
his  horses.  That  edict  was  reconsidered  and  the  bar  re- 
moved at  the  solicitation  of  that  number  of  subscribers  to  a 
petition. 

Commenting  on  that  Mr.  Miller  recommends  enacting  a 
law  :  *'  For  the  first  offense  of  dishonestly  entering  or  driv- 
ing a  horse  in  a  race,  the  guilty  party,  owner,  driver,  or  both, 
should  be  expelled  from  all  tracks  for  a  year,  on  the  second 
offense  for  two  years,  on  the  third  offense  forever." 

Better  to  adept  the  Blood  Horse  rule,  or  rather  by-law,  as 
it  was  held  to  be  so  important  to  the  proper  government  of 
the  turf,  that  it  could  only  be  abrogated  by  notice  sixty  days 
previous  to  the  annual  election  and  a  majority  vote  in  favor 
of  throwing  it  out.     That  is  the  point. 

"  When  the  expulsion  has  been  decreed  for  losing  a  race 
fraudulently,  and  the  evideoce  of  the  fraud  is  clear,  the 
party  or  parties  implicated  shall  not  be  reinstated  until  after 
the  lapse  of  five  years,  and  not  then  unless  two-thirds  of  the 
Directors  vote  to  pardon." 

Such  a  law  as  that  in  the  trotting  code,  rigidly  enforced, 
the  rich  transgressor  punished  as  inexorably  as  the  poor 
fellow  whom" circumstances  has  forced  to  wrongdoing,  would 
remove  a  load  of  odium  which  is  now  borne,  and  which  can- 
dor compels  the  admission  that  it  is  justly  deserved.  Were 
that  by-law  and  the  rule  against  laying-up  a  heat  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Association  adopted  by  the  gov- 
erning bodies  of  light  harness  sports,  hard  times  would  have 
small  effect  in  decreasing  the  attendance  at  the  meetings. 
Fewer  "  track  pirates,"  a  large  increase  of  those  who  would 
be  an  ornament  and  pillars  of  stability  to  the  "  truly  Ameri- 
can recreation."

nr  I  I  I  Seven  hundred  and  fifteen  entries  in  the 
0  i  I  I  purses  of  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  which  closed  on 
the  first  of  Fehruary  is  simply  stunning,  being  so  far  as  my 
recollection  serves  a  larger  number  than  was  made  for  any 
one  meeting.  Deducting  the  nominations  made  in  the  Stan- 
ford Stake,  the  only  event  which  is  not  to  be  decided  at  the 
Uctober  meeting,  and  there  on  613  entries  an  average  of 
nearly  23. 

Only  three  were  directed  to  be  reopened,  the  justice  of 
which  will  be  fully  recognized  when  the  explanations  are 
given,  which  will  be  in  the  paper  of  next  week.  The  adver- 
tisement of  the  reopening  appears  in  this  paper  and  also  of 
an  additional  purse  of  $1,000 'for  2:12  class,  pacing.  That 
will  roiiDd  out  the  programme  to  still  fuller  proportions  and 
from  every  point  of  view  must  gratify  lovers  of  harness 
horses  in  all  parts  of  the  couutry. 

A  committee  has  been  appointed  to  prepare  the  programme 
for  the  summer  meeting— the  opening  of  the  circuit — which 
will  be  acted  upon  by  the  Board  March  Sth.  That  it  will 
be  of  the  same  liberal  kind  which  marked  that,  now  so  satis- 
factorily endorsed,  "goes  without  saying."

Auction  Sale  of  Trotters. 

The  largest  number  of  horseman  seen  at  a  salesring  this 
year  was  observed  at  Killip  &  Co's.  salesyard  last  Thursday 
it  being  the  occasion  chosen  for  the  sale  of  colts  and  fillies 
belonging  to  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm.  The  bidding 
was  not  spirited  and  many  of  those  who  saw  these  animals 
sold  will  be  willing  to  pay  five  limes  as  much  for  them  before 
the  races  on  the  circuit  end  this  fall.  The  following  brought 
$100  and  over:

P.    C.    T.     H.     B.     ASSOCIATION    ENTRIES. 


A  Liberal  List  of  Entries  Demonstrates  that   the  Horsemen  Appreciate 

the  Generous  Policy  and  New    Methods    Adopted  by  this 

Organization  to  help  the  Light  Harness 

Horse  Business. 


The  following  list  of  entries  in  the  various  events  to  take  place  at  the  Fall  meeting  of  the 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  furnishes  conclusive  evidence  that  the  statement  we  have  so  often  made 
that  a  greater  interest  is  being  taken  in  light  harness  horse  racing  on  this  coast,  and  that 
more  horses  will  be  handled  for  speed  this  year  than  ever  before. 

The  directors  have  a  right  to  feel  jubilant  over  the  success  of  their  departure  from  the  old 
methods,  and  the  addition  of  over  half  a  hundred  new  members  to  the  roster  of  the 
Association. 

A  greater  number  of  the  purses  filled  than  it  was  expected  [when  the  pro- 
gramme was  advertised.  Of  course  with  only  one  per  cent  to  enter,  it  required  a  much 
greater  number  of  entries  to  fill  the  purses  than  under  the  old  rule  of  ten  per  cent,  and  the 
directors  haye  declared  every  purse  filled  where  there  was  a  prospect  of  the  receipts  of  en- 
trance amounting  to  enough  to  warrant  it.  It  is  evident  that  the  horsemen  appreciate  the 
terms  advertised,  which  allows  them  to  keep  their  money  that  they  would  be  obliged  under 
the  old  rules  to  pa)  out  for  entrance,  and  have  the  use  of  it  in  training  their  horses  and  bring- 
ing them  to  the  races.  A  spirit  of  enthusiasm  prevails  and  the  success  of  the  meeting  is 
assured.  To  the  question  propounded  "  Are  you  in  it?"  which  appeared  at  the  head  ofthe 
advertisement,  the  answer  can  be  plainly  seen  by  a  peruss»l  of  the  following:

H.  D.,  Hueneme — Please  answer  the  fol- 
lowing to  decide  a  bet.  Last  fall  at  Los  An- 
geles, four  colts  started  in  a  race — Polaski, 
Gladiola,  Montalva  and  Lewanee.  Polaski 
and  Gladiola  ran  a  dead  heat  and  divided  first 
and  second  money.  Montalva  was  next  and 
Lewanee  last.  Al  Morioe,  of  Montalva,  bet 
me  that  his  colt,  Montalva,  was  entitled  lo 
second  money,  and  I  bet  that  he  was  not.  Mr. 
J.  G.  Hill,  the  stake-holder,  refuses  to  pay  me 
the  money  without  a  decision  from  the 
Breeder.  They  ran  under  Blood  Horse 
rules.  Answer — We  answered  this  last  week. 
Polaski  and  Gladiola  divide  first  and  second 
money.  Montalva  is  not  entitled  to  second 
money.     You  win.

The  following  which  was  copied  from  the 
leading  turf  grounds  of  the  last  appeared  in 
this  column  last  week:  "James  B.  Green  has 
declined  Monroe  Salisbury's  offer  to  guarantee 
all  expenses  and  allow  Green  half  of  Saladin's 
winnings  this  year.  The  great  pacing  stallion 
will  remain  in  the  East."  Knowing  that  the 
terms  were  altogether  too  high  for  any  trainer 
to  assume  we  asked  Mr.  Salisbury  about  it 
and  his  answer  was:  "There's  Dot  a  word  of 
truth  in  it.  I  never  was  foolish  enough  to 
make  such  an  offer  or  any  other  to  Mr. 
Green,  and  I  do  uot  know  who  the  author  of 
it  is.  Such  a  statement  does  more  harm  than 
good  and  should  be  nailed  on  the  head  at 
once.  I  have  little  Direct,  for  my  pacing 
champion  and  I  hope  be  will  not  disappoint 
me."

"The  trainer  who  does  not  spend  most  of 
his  time  in  the  stable  and  with  the  reins  in 
his  hands  will  always  '  play  in  hard  luck,'"  is 
the  sound  utterance  of  "  Veritas  "  in  The 
Horseman.  "  If  he  goes  to  the  race  with  a 
string  of  horses  whose  behavior,  condition  and 
all  the  details  are  unknown  qualities,  he  will 
surely  fail  &nd  drop  out  of  the  circuit  early  in 
its  course.  The  winners  come  from  the  pad- 
docks of  men  who  breed  scientifically,  and 
from  the  stables  of  owners  who  select  with 
judgment  and  from  the  handling  of  industri- 
ous, intelligent  trainers,  who  work  while 
others  sleep  or  swap  stories  and  trust  to 
grooms."

of  San  Francfsco,  were  received  at  Pleasan-

train  them  for  the  California  and  Montana

J.  M.  Alviso's  pacing  mare  Rosita  A.  2:16];

and  will  be  a  candidate  for  2:10  honors. 


The  recent  rain  and  spell  of  warm  weather 
has  been  very  beneficial  to  the  pastures,  and 
farmers  and  horsemen  are  in  consequence 
very  happy.

J  S.  X,  Albuquerque,  X-  M.— I  have  a  trot- 
ting mare  twenty  years  ola  never  had  a  colt. 
Last  year  I  bred  her  to  a  horse  here;  in  about 
four  months  she  had  what  appeared  to  be 
colic  of  the  womb.  A  dictor  here  called 
it  womb  trouble.  She  swelled  up  and  would 
He  down  same  as  regular  colic.  This  doctor 
«ve  ber  ,  are  medicine,  and  she  came  around 
au  rigb-'n  a  day  or  t^o.  He  said  the  medi- 
cine would  cause  her  to  act  for  awhile  "  as  if 
she  was  horsing  or  in  heat."  This  she  has 
done  at  different  times  ever  since,  now  over  a 
year.  She  will  not  allow  aDy  horse  to  stand 
near  her,  without  kicking  and  acting  as  if  in 
heat,  pasfes  water  and  spreads  as  if  to  try  and 
discharge  something.  Kicks  with  both  feet  at 
times.  I  have  to  unhitch  when  ever  I  stop,  or 
she  ="n  kick  the  wagon  when  these  spells  are 
upon  ner.  She  passes  white  creamy  matter  at 
times,  and  I  think,  perhaps,  she  has  the 
Whites.  She  is  a  great  pet  and  very  gentle, 
but  these  bad  spells  annoy  her  very  much, 
and  wants  to  go  all  the  time  while  she  has 
them.  They  will  come  on  at  any  time  another 
horse  stands  near  her.  I  hope  voo  can  tell  me 


i  through  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  what  ' 
to  do  for  her.      We  have   no   doctor  here  at  i 
present.    I  have  made  no  attempt  at  breeding  i 
1  her  again.     Answer. — Seeing  that   the  mare  j 
acts  in  this  way  only  when  in  the  presence  of  i 
horses,  and  appears    excited    and    mean   in  , 
harness,  it  indicates  menstruation  (in  season),  I 
rather  than  womb  trouble.    I   should    recom-  ] 
mend  breeding  her  even  though  she  be  old,  as  i 
I  I    hxve  seen   mares  of  about  that  age  have  j 
[heir  first  foal.     Before  breeding  her  have  her  [ 
,  "  opened  ;"    that  is,  dilate  the  opening  to  the 
'  womb    by  passing  your   fingers   gently   into  it 
,  and  expanding  it,  having  first  oiled  your  hand 
so  as  not  to  irritate  the  part. 


I  O.  D.,  Wild  Flower,  CaL— Please  give  in 
your  next  issue  a  simple  and  sure  cure  for 
thrush.  I  have  a  colt  that  is  afflicted  and 
have  not  been  able  to  cure  him.  Answer — Cut 
away  all  decay  of  frog,  clean  the  cleft  thor- 
oughly and  fill  it  with  calomel,  packing  it  in- 
to every  crevice;  put  some  tar  and  oakum 
outside  that  to  keep  away  dirt  and  moisture. 
When  the  discharge  has  stopped  apply  tar  to 
the  part  daily   and  don't  let  him  stand    in 

'  manure  or  on  wet  gro.ind.

by  Thormanby-Actresscolt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting ;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback:  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stnd  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  and,  royatly-bred 
as  he  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  he  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback.

OWAS  is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sire  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1S93,  be'nz  by  Reform  (son  of 
imp.  Leamington,  dam  Maggie  B.  B.,  dam  of  Lroquois,  Harold, 
Franceses,  Paniqne  and  Okema.  Owas  is  thoroughly  uutried,  never 
having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  full  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  be  secured  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
prive  just  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  in  the  stud.  Owjs  is  a 
bay  horse,  ot  good  size,  a  magnificent  individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fail  to  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  in  America,  in  all  probability.  Reform,  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Service,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner},  La  Relle  X.. 
Blushrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  turf,  while  his  dam, 
Maggie  B.  R.,  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  in  America. 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  pro  re  what 
we  think  of  thfc  yonng  horse  it  has  been  decided  to  offer

Stock  Farm  For  Sale. 

One  of  the  finest  stock  farms  in  California,  consisting  of  about  one  hundred  acres  of  rich 
soil,  twenty  acres  of  which  in  alfalfa,  well  watered  and  fenced.  It  is  one  of  the  best-appointed 
places  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Napa  river.  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
it.  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  style, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  ia  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaitlug,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  or 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
developeto  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  haudsof  every  rubber  on  our  farm,"

TWENTY-SIXTH   DAT — FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  y. 

AIN,  rain,  rain.  First,  second  and 
all  the  time.  Would  it  ever  stop  ? 
That  was  what  the  unterrified 
asked  each  other  this  afternoon,  and 
the  leaden  clouds  seemed  to  answer 
in  the  negative.  For  such  a  dismal 
diy  the  attendance  was  excellent, 
and  the  racing  was  exciting  enough 
to  suit  the  hardest  growler.  One  of 
the  races  was  won  by  a  head,  an- 
other by  a  neck,  one  by  half  a 
length.  That  should  be  excite- 
ment enough  for  a  few  hours.  It 
was  not  a  very  good  day  for  favorites,  four  of  them  being 
Miten  and  the  remaining  one  winning  by  but  a  neck  in  a 
lrive.  The  successful  knights  of  the  pigskin  to-day  were 
teaman,  Leigh,  C.  Weber,  Taylor  and  Tuberville.  Seaman 
tnd  C.  Weber  also  rode  place  horses. 

!    Dr.  Ross,  6  to  1  at  the  post,  won   the  first  race  in  a  gallop 

ly  four  lengths,  this  after  appearing  to  be  out  of  the  hunt 

'tear  the  half-pole.  Mestor  looked  to  have  got  the  place  from 

he  press  stand,  but  it  was  a  close  thing,  and  the   judges 

-warded  second  money  to  Faro's  owner      Annie  Moore  and 

^ortuna,  equal  favorites,  finished  back  in  the  ruck. 

The  second  race  knocked   the   talent  out.     Fred   Parker 

aid  to  Zake  Abrahams  last  week  at  the  Brown  sale  for  $115, 

fon  by  a  neck  in  a  hard  drive  from  George  L.,  while  Easter 

.  ohn  was  a  poor  third.     Crawford,  the  favorite,  did  not  seem 

3  be  quite  himself,  never  being  better  than  fifth  at  any  time. 

Conde  won  the  third  event  in  fast  time  «.nd  in  fine  style, 

jading  "  fiom  eend  to  eend"  and  getting  home  first  by  over 

length,  with  Realization  second,  a  length  in  front  of  Royal 

lush.     The  last-named  was  a  heavily-played  favorite.  Mot- 

i  and  Mouowai  wound  up   in    the  rear,  the  former  quilting 

oout  three  furlongs  from  home. 

Red  Root  and  Blizzard,  excellent  mud  horses,  fought  all 
le  way  down  the  homestretch  in  the  fourth  race,  the  former 
?entually  landing  a  winner  by  half  a  length.  Duke  Stevens 
d  for  about  three  furlongs,  when  Blizzard  passed  to  the  fore 
ily  10  be  tackled  by  Red  Rose.  King  Mac  even,  beat  Duke 
.  tevens. 

1  The  last  race,  five  furlongs,  was  won  by  the  favorite,  Mid- 
st, by  a  verv  narrow  margin.  Up  to  the  final  sixteenth 
ie  little  daughter  of  Little  Alp  had  a  four-length  lead.  She 
len  commenced  to  stop,  and  Charley  Weber,  putting  spurs 
>  Floodmore  (who  was  second  at  that  point),  all  but  caught 
tidget  as  they  passed  the  finishing-point.  Charmer,heavily 
ayed,  finished  third,  while  another  good  thing,  Peregal, 
'  aiind  up  the  procession,  bleeding  profusely  at  the  nose. 


HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Nine  came  to  the  post  in  the  first  race,  five  and  a  half  fur- 
longs, selling.  Fortuna  and  Annie  Moore  divided  favoritism 
at  4  to  1  each.  Dr.  Ross  was  at  6  to  1  at  the  post,  though  he 
was  as  good  as  8  to  1  at  one  time.  Nutwood,  Annie  Moore, 
Mestor  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Dr.  Ross  appeared  to  be 
out  of  the  hunt  in  the  first  sixty  yards.  At  the  half  Mestor 
led  by  half  a  length,  with  Nutwood  second,  a  head  from 
Annie  Moore.  Dr.  Ross  mowed  his  field  down  like  so  much 
grass,  and  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  was  only  a  length 
behind  Joe  Ellis,  who  had  taken  the  lead  about  three  fur- 
longs from  home.  In  the  homestretch  Dr.  Ross  went  to  the 
front,  and  coming  on  very  strong,  won  a  wonderful  race  by 
four  lengths,  Faro  second,  a  short  head  from  Mestor.  Time, 
1:13L

Crawford  was  favorite  in  the  second  race,  five  furlongs,  at 
6  to  5.  George  L.  was  at  5  to  1,  Fred  Parker  at  8,  though  as 
good  as  20  to  1  at  one  time.  The  order  to  a  good  start  was 
Easter  John,  George  L.,  Currency.  Fred  Parker,  fifth  away, 
led  at  the  half-pole  by  a  length,  with  Easter  John  second, 
as  far  from  George  L.  Fred  Parker  went  away  from  his  field 
at  a  great  rate,  leading  George  L.  three  lengths  three  furlongs 
from  home,  and  as  far  into  the  homestretch,  where  the  latter 
gained  fast,  and  in  a  drive  George  L.  got  within  a  neck  of 
Fred.  Parker  as  they  passed  the  finishing  point,  Easter  John 
third,  three  lengths  away.  Twang  was  fourth  and  Crawford 
fifth.  Zebe  Abrahams  bought  the  winner  last  Friday  for 
$115.

A  six-furlong  handicap  came  next,  and  Royal  Flush  was 
favorite  at  21  to  1.  Monowai  was  at  3  to  1,  Conde  at  16  to  5, 
Realization  at  4  to  1,  Motto  at  6.  Conde  led  all  the  way,  and 
won  handily  by  two  lengths.  Realization  and  Royal  Flush 
were  second  and  third,  heads  apart,  passing  the  half,  then 
Motto  shot  up  into  second  place,  a  head  in  front  of  Realiza- 
tion three  furlongs  from  home.  Nearing  the  final  turn  she 
fell  back  beaten,  and  Realization  and  Royal  Flush,  heads 
apart,  ran  into  the  homestretch  a  length  behind  Conde,  whom 
they  could  not  catch. '  Realization,  in  a  drive,  got  the  place 
by  a  scant  neck  from  Royal  Flush.     Time,  1:16A.

Six  started  in  the  fourth  race,  one  mile,  in  the  rain,  and 
Duke  Stevens  and  Red  Root  were  equal  favorites  at  2  to  1 
each.  King  Mac  was  at  4\  to  1,  Hy  Dy  5  to  1,  Blizzard  8  to  1. 
Duke  Stevens  led  at  the  quarter  by  a  head,  Blizzard  second,

forged  to  the  fore,  leading  Duke  Stevens  a  length  three  fur- 
longs from  home,  Red  Root  oi  ly  another  length  away.  Duke 
Stevens  died  away  in  the  homestretch,  and  Red  Root  and

The  concluding  event  of  the  afternoon,  a  five-furlong  dash, 
had  just  half  a  dozen  starters.  Midget,  at  7  to  5,  was  the 
favorite.  Charmer,  played  very  strong,  was  at  3  to  1,  .North 
at  2J,  backed  down  from  4,  Floodmore  at  S,  Peregal  at  12  (he 
was  at  30  to  1  at  one  time)  and  Gondola  at  100  to  1.  To  a 
good  start  Floodmore  led  for  a  few  si  rides.  Midget  was  lead- 
ing a  length  at  tfc  •  half-pole,  Floodmore  second,  as  far  from 
Gondola.  Three  furlongs  from  home  Midget  led  by  three 
lengths  and  Floodmore  was  second,  a  head  from  Charmer. 
The  latter  ran  up  second  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  but 
Floodmore  came  again,  and  passed  up  second,  four  lengths 
behind  Midget,  who  tired  badly  in  the  final  sixteenth,  Flood- 
more  getting  within  a  neck  of  the  little  mare  at  the  finish. 
Three  lengths  behind  Floodmore  came  Charmer  third.  Time,

TWENTY-SEVENTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  FEBRUAEY  10. 

To-day's  card  was  a  most  interesting  one,  and  our  people 
showed  their  appreciation  of  true  merit  by  attending.  Fully 
5,000  were  on  baud  to  see  the  California  Theatre  stakes  won 
by  Wildwood.  Stake  events  bring  out  the  best  racing  ma- 
terial, and  that  in  turn  brings  the  people  to  the  race  course. 
The  day  would  delight  the  heart  of  the  worst  pessimist 
in  the  community,  and  speculation  in  the  various  events 
was  brisk.  Never  was  there  a  track  that  tried  the 
hearts  of  the  contestants  more  than  the  one 
of  to-day.  It  was  not  only  deep,  but  mucilagenous. 
An  accident  occured  at  the  post  before  the  first  race 
Road  Runner  stumbling  and  throwing  the  clever  young  rider, 
Taylor,  heavily,  then  running  away  for  about  three  furlongs. 
Taylor  was  stunned  and  shaken  up  so  badly  that  it  may  be 
several  days  before  he  can  ride  again  with  his  wonted  vigor. 
The  colt  he  was  riding  turned  and  went  back  to  the  gate  he  is 
used  to  entering,  where  he  was  caught  and  taken  to  the 
post.  Charley  Weber  was  substituted  for  the  unfortunate 
Taylor,  and  Road  Runner  went  on  and  won  the  race  handily 
by  a  length  with  odds  of  3  to  1  against  his  chances.  Dr. 
Ross  beat  Zampost  (the  hottest  sort  of  a  favorite)  for  place. 
The  delay  at  the  post  is  thought  to  have  killed  Zampost's 
chances — at  least  many  trainers  declared  this  with  a  sugges-

nents, led  almost  from  the  outset  and  by  three  lengths  at  the 
finish,  with  the  good-looking  outsider,  Diggs,  second,  and 
Cecil  S.  third.  A  number  of  "  new  ones  "  made  their  debut 
in  this  race,  which  was  ooe  of  three  furlongs,  run  in  the 
cracking  good  lime  {track  considered)  of  0:38$.  El  Tirano, 
Dick  Havey's  Tyrant  colt,  ninth  away,  finished  up  fourth. 
Kitty  Scott,  the  winner,  is  certainly  a  "  clinker." 

Wildwood,  foxily  piloted  by  Jordan  (who  delayed  the  start 
for  over  half  an  hour  because  he  could  not  see  a  chance  to 
get  off  in  front),  won  all  the  way  in  the  California  Theatre 
Stakes,  notwithstanding  his  impost  of  127  pounds.  Tyro  got 
the  place  by  a  nose,  but  should  not  have  done  so  had  not 
Isom,  on  Marigold,  lost  one  of  his  stirrups.  Indeed,  but  for 
the  accident,  Marigold  might  have  given  Wildwood,  an  argu- 
ment that  he  could  not  withstand. 

The  short-course  steeplechase  went  to  Longwell,  the  odds- 
on  favorite,  Ballarat,  finishing  third  and  last.  Longwell  ran 
so  much  belter  than  he  did  the  other  day,  when  Ballarat  was 
first  and  he  last,  that  bis  performance  of  to-day  occasioned

considerable  comment.  The  fact  of  the  matter  is,  however, 
that  Longwell  likes  a  distance  much  better  than  Eallarat, 
who  is  anything  but  a  game  horse.  Besides,  172  pounds 
weight  tells  in  a  mile  and  a  half  much  more  than  in  a  mile. 
The  last  race,  five  furlongs,  was  a  duel  between  Brownwood 
and  Zoolein,  a  prettier  or  more  exciting  contest  not  being 
possible.  l~p  to  the  last  forty  yards  ihe  race  appeared  to  be 
Brownwood's  by  a  small  margin.  Jordan  here  doubled  him- 
self up  -(  hi  jacknife,  put  whip  und  spur  to  the  game  son  of 
Zorilla,  and  outriding  Leigh,  won  on  the  post  by  about  four 
inches.  Lottie  D.  was  a  great  disappointment,  and  many 
uncomplimentary  things  were  said  about  her  running. 

HOW  THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Zampost  opened  an  even-money  favorite  in  the  first  race, 
but  after  Road  Kunner  had  thrown  his  jockev.  Taylor,  and 
run  away  about  three  furlongs  the  Zampost  odd*  were  cut  to 
3  to  5  and  Road  Runner's  went  from  2  to  3  to  1.  Dr.  Ross' 
odds  at  the  post  were  10  and  3.  Lonnie  B.  was  at  5  to  1,  the 
others  from  30  to  100  to  I.  Zampost,  sixth  away  to  a  good 
start,  at  once  rushed  to  the  front,  leading  Resurrection  a  head 
at  the  half-pole,  Dr.  Ross  third,  a  length  away.  Zampost  let 
out  a  link  in  the  next  furloug,  and  Road  Runner  had  passed 
Resurrection  and  was  third,  only  half  a  length  behind  Dr. 
Ross.  Into  the  straight  it  was  Zampost,  Road  Runner.  Dr. 
Ross,  heads  apart,  as  named.  Road  Runner  led  a  furlong 
from  the  finish  by  half  a  length,  Zampost  second,  as  far  from 
Dr.  Ross.  Road  Kunner  came  on  and  won  with  a  bit  up  his 
sleeve  by  a  length,  while  in  a  fighting  finish  Dr.  Ross  beat 
Zampost  by  half  a  length  for  place.  Eight  lengths  further 
away  came  Lonnie  B.    T'me,  1U7J.

race  of  three  furlongs.  Mollie  R.,  at  7  to  l,wassecond  choiee, 
while  Cecil  S.  was  an  S  to  1  chance,  Diggs  a  20  to  1  shot.  The 
odds  against  the  others  ranged  from  12  to  30  to  1.  Kitty 
Scott,  second  away,  to  a  good  start,  went  to  the  front  without 
delay,  and  leading  Cecil  S.  two  lengths  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch,  came  on  and  won  by  that  distance  easily,  Diggs 
beating  Cecil  S.  out  a  length  for  place  in  fine  st/le.  He  is  a 
good-looking,  big  colt.  El  Tirano,  ninth  at  the  fall  of  the

The  California  Theater  Stakes,  one  mile,  followed.  Wild- 
wood  and  Pescador  cut  up  at  the  pust,  the  former  keeping  up 
his  meanness  much  longer  than  the  one-eyed  horse,  and  Jor- 
dan, on  Wildwood,  was  about  as  obstinate  as  his  mount  and 
at  cute  as  an  eld  fox.  He  waited  over  half  an  hour  for  an 
opportunity  to  get  the  favorite  away  in  front,  and  finally 
gained  his  point,  though  the  send-ofl  was  a  fair  one.  Wild- 
wood  and  Pescador  were  heads  apart  at  the  quarter-pole,  Car- 
mel  third,  Monowai  next.  At  the  half  Pescador  was  half  a 
length  to  the  good,  Wildwood  second,  as  far  from  Carmel, 
Marigold  fourth,  a  couple  of  lengths  further  away,  lapped  by 
Tyro.  Wildwood  drew  away  as  they  ueared  the  final  turn, 
and  Tyro  moved  up  close  to  Pescador.  Marigold  had  dropped 
back  to  sixth  place,  but  was  beginning  to  move  up.  In  the 
homestretch  she  came  like  a  shot,  but  one  of  her  stirrup- 
straps  broke,  and  this  mishap  undoubtedly  cost  her  the  place. 
Wildwood  was  not  headed,  winning  by  three  lengths  easily, 
while  Pescador  fell  back.  Tyro  lasted  long  enough  to  get 
the  place  by  a  nose  from  Marigold  in  an  exciting  finish.  The 
time,  1:50,  made  by  stake  horses  shows  the  condition  of  the 
course.  Wildwood  was  favorite  at  7  to  5,  Tyro  was  at  15  to  1, 
Marigold  6.

from  two  to  three  jumps  until  the  homestretch  was  reached, 
Wild  '  lata  trailing  tour  or  five  lengths  off.  Almost  as  soon  as

Salvator  Retired  Sound. 


One  of  the  angriest  men  in  the  country  is  Matt  Byrnes,  the 
well-known  trainer  for  Marcus  Daly. 

The  cause  of  his  anger  is  a  small  paragraph  in  the  Daily 
American,  which  stated,  on  the  alleged  authority  of  ,:Snip" 
Donovan,  trainer  of  Tenny,  that  Salvator  was  a  roarer,  and 
that  was  why  he  (Donovan)  kept  running  against  Salvator  in 
the  hope  that  sooner  or  later  he  would  catch  the  great  horse 
on  an  "  off  day."  Such  a  report  was  well  calculated  to  arouse 
the  feelings  of  any  man  who  ever  trained  a  good  horse,  and 
Byrnes  was  very  eager  to  answer  and  d?ny  it.  So  he  sat  in 
the  reading  room  of  the  Arlington  Hotel  one  night  this  week 
and  dictated  the  following,  which  he  desires  published  all 
over  the  country.  A  copy  of  it  has  been  sent  to  the  Daily 
America,  which,  by  the  way,  had  too  much  good  sense  to 
credit  the  report,  though  it  felt  bound  to  give  space  to  it  as  a 
matter  that  might  be  ventilated  and  forever  stamped  out  by 
ihe  proper  person.     Here  is  Matt  Byrnes'  card  : 

A  false  report,  without  any  foundation  whatever,  which 
appeared  in  the  Daily  America  of  January  20th,  would  be  so 
far-reaching  in  its  effects  if  not  denied  that  1  consider  it  the 
least  1  can  do  to  deny  it  as  emphatically  as  possible.  It  looks 
like  an  effort  was  made  to  father  the  responsibility  of  the 
story  on  a  poor  fellow  iu  prison  who  cannot  protect  himself. 
I  allude  to  "  Ship  "  Donovan.  Now  for  the  facts  :  Salvator 
was  never  a  roarer  and  never  showed  the  slightest  symptoms 
of  being  a  roarer.  He  never  *' made  a  noise  "  of  any  kind. 
The  horse  was  as  sound  as  a  new-milled  dollar  when  he  re- 
tired at  the  end  of  his  four-year-old  career.  He  would  have 
not  been  retired  then  if  there  were  any  weight-for-age  races 
that  he  could  have  run  in,  even  that  celebrated  race,  the 
Champion  Slake,  a  real  test  of  the  champions  of  all  ages, 
having  been  abolished  because  Mr.  Lorillard  was  said  to  have 
a  horse  which  "might  have  walked  over  for  it,"  as  I  was  told 
by  a  gentleman  prominent  in  the  management,  to  which  I 
replied:  "You  don't  know  whether  any  horse  would  walk 
over  for  it." 

Now  I  Bay  that  an  owner  that  has  the  good  luck  to  bring  a 
horse  through  his  two-year-old,  three-year-old  and  four-year- 
old  form  ought  to  have  a  chance  to  run  such  a  horse  in  more 
weight-for-age  races  than  are  now  in  existence.  There  are 
not  enough  such  races.  The  fields  need  not  be  large,  but  the 
quality  is  there.  The  public  will  always  turn  out  when  the 
best  horses  are  running.    Salvator  a  roarer,  eh?    If  I  wanted 


to  run  Salvator  the  race  of  his  life  I  would  pick  a  two-mile 
rice,  which  shows  whether  or  not  he  was  a  roarer.  This 
story  of  his  being  a  roarer  looks  like  it  was  gotten  up  to  hurl 
the  sale  of  his  yearlings.  I  am  under  no  obligations  to  Mr. 
Haggin,  but  as  the  one  man  on  earth  who  knows  all  about 
the  horse,  I  repeat  that  there  was  never  the  slightest  cause 
for  such  a  report.  Matthew  Byrnes. 

"O- 

"Tho  Trotting  of  the  Future." 


Col.  William  Edwards,  writing  in  the  Newark  Sunday  Call 
says:  "  What  will  be  the  trotting  of  the  future?"  The  trot- 
ting of  the  future  will  be  trotting  precisely  as  it  has  been  in 
the  past  and  is  now.  Horses  will  appear  on  mile  and  half- 
mile  tracks,  and  on  the  road  and  trot,  using  all  four  legs.  It 
may  be  that  in  the  future,  as  now,  some  horses  will  trot  with 
one  leg  and  run  with  three,  or  trot  with  the  front  legs  and 
run  with  the  hind  legs,  but  time  will  bring  no  change  in 
what  is  koown  as  the  trotting  gait.  Ingenuity  may  provide 
a  vehicle  that  will  take  the  place  of  the  bicycle  sulky,  and 
scientific  breeding  may  produce  a  horse  that  will  trot  a  mile 
in  1:30,  but  trotting  will  be  trotting  a  hundred  years  hence. 
The  horse  will  pull  some  kind  of  a  vehicle,  and  will  be  ac- 
companied by  a  driver  unless,  in  the  time  to  come,  horses  can 
be  trained  to  trot  a  race  by  themselves.  Just  what  the  above 
query  contemplates  one  can  not  determine.  Il  it  covers  a 
thought  that  the  future  will  bring  some  radical  changes  in  the 
rules  for  the  conduct  of  trotting  races,  it  can  he  answered. 

Radical  changes  in  trotting  rules  are  contemplated,  and 
they  are  nearer  than  many  suppose.  Those  which  now  gov- 
ern the  trotting  course  will  make  way  for  others  or  undergo 
such  revision  as  wilt  make  them  coincide  with  modern  ideas. 
The  rules  of  the  future  will  be  succinct,  forcible  and  so  easily 
understood  as  not  to  be  misinterpreted  by  the  governing 
power,  as  invariably  bearing  against  the  defendant  when  an 
association  is  plaintiff.  There  will  be  a  court  of  final  juris- 
diction, to  which  appeal  can  be  had  from  the  Board  of  Review. 
There  will  be  provision  for  the  trial  and  punishment  of  a 
judge  for  any  unbecoming  conduct.  At  present  there  is  only 
one  offense  for  which  a  judge  can  be  tried — suppression  of 
time.  Not  long  ago  a  judge  was  complained  of  for  unbecom- 
ing conduct.  When  counsel  for  the  complainant  was  opening 
the  case  and  making  a  statement  of  the  facts  before  the  Board 
of  Review,  one  of  the  members  interrupted  him  by  coolly  ask- 
ing under  what  rule  a  judge  could  be  tried.  There  was  no 
rule  and  the  complaint  fell  to  the  ground.  There  is  a  rule, 
however,  which  would  have  punished  the  complainant  if  the 
case  had  been  reversed. 

In  trotting  races  of  the  future  a  horse  that  stands  to  win 
money  will  continue  in  the  race  to  the  end,  whether  he  wins 
a  heat  or  not. 

The  contests  will  be  two  best  in  three,  instead  of  the  oft- 
times  murderous  contents  occasioned  bv  three  best  in  five. 

There  will  be  catch  weights.  Will  some  one  advance  a 
sood  reason  for  a  minimum  weight  without  a  maximum 
weight,  or,  for  that  matter,  any  specific  weight  at  all  for  trot- 
ting races. 

There  will  be  no  suspension  for  non-payment  of  entrance 
fee  in  cases  where  judges  decide  a  horse  physically  unable  to 
start. 

The  above  will  be  some — but  not  all,  by  any  means — of  the 
changes  in  the  rules  when  time  has  eliminated  the  old  fogy- 
ism  of  National  Trotting  Councils. 

Concerning  gambliug  the  same  writer  has  the  following: 
"  The  difference  in  Wall  street  gambling  and  gambling  on 
the  turf  is  mainly  in  the  amounts  staked  and  the  means  em- 
ployed. In  Wall  street  stocks  represent  the  horses.  The 
fluctuations  in  stock  are  precisely  on  a  par  with  the  uncer- 
tainties of  the  horse  race.  Millions  change  hands  in  a  single 
day  in  Wall  street  aud  fortunes  are  lost  or  made  in  a  single 
turn  of  the  wheel.  Combinations  are  formed  between  owners 
on  the  turf,  and  the  selected  horse  wins.  Ten  or  twenty 
traders  in  Wall  street,  more  ar  less,  form  a  secret  "combine" 
to  put  the  prices  of  certain  stock  up  and  down  within  a  range 
of  one  or  two  per  cent.,  and  repeat  two  or  three  times  a  day. 
and  the  speculative  public  who  come  into  the  "  market"  are 
bitten. 

"  Just  now  there  are  no  men  who  speculate  quite  so  heav- 
ily on  the  turf  as  in  stocks.  Time  was,  however,  when  they 
plunged  on  the  turf  almost  as  heavily  as  they  do  now  in 
stocks.  'During  the  early  part  of  the  century  there  were  in 
England  a  dozen  men  who  .made  $250,000  books  on  the  Der- 
by alone,  and  as  late  as  1S56  a  bookmaker  bet  $500,000  to 
$5,000  against  each  of  three  horses  in  one  race.  In  1846  the 
owner  of  the  Derby  favorite  backed  him  publicly  to  win  $750,- 
000,  beside  the  amount  of  his  private  bets.  The  ring  of  book- 
makers paid  to  one  circle  of  bettors  $1,000,000  when  Lec- 
turer won  the  Cesarwitch.  The  owners  of  more  than  one 
Derby  winner  collected  $500,000  on  the  next  settling  day, 
and  in  several  years  would  have  pocketed  a  million,  if  their 
colts  had  beeu  "first  past  the  post.  Most  men  who  now  have 
money  and  the  nerve  to  make  such  enormous  bets  have  given 
up  horse  racing  iq  favor  of  another  game,  which  has  still 
higher  possibilities,  and  instead  of  wagering  $500,000  on  a 
horse  and  calling  it  gambling,  they  deposit  the  same  amount 
as  a  margin  in  a  slock  speculation  and  call  it  business.'  Al-  J 
though  individuals  do  not  lay  such  heavy  wagers  as  were 
were  sometimes  made  by  piungersof  old,  much  more  money. 
is  wagered  now  than  was  risked  fifty  years  ago.  The  difler- 
ence  is  that  while  the  one  man  bet  $100,000,  now  ten  men 
each  bet  $20,000,  and  the  total  amount  wagered  is  doubled. 
"  All  these  vast  sums  are  wagered  on  the  events  of  the  run- 
ning turf,  where  there  is  no  opporunity  to  hedge."

small,  and  she  has  been  previously  bred  without  result.  The 
great  mare's  name  and  fame  are  dear  to  the  American  public,

The  Orloffornians. 


By  Mark  Field. 


[Written  for  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.1 
1  believe  that  the  title  of  this  article  will  eventually  be  the 
distinguishing  name  of  a  new  tribe  of  trotters. 

Of  the  rive  original  wild  breeds  from  which,  all  our  domes- 
tic horses  are  derived,  the  black  ranks  first,  the  white  second, 
and  the  bay  third,  in  the  matter  of  size,  while  the  dun  and 
the  piebald,  being  originally  mountain  families,  were,  in  this 
respect  at  the  foot  of  the  ladder.  But  nest  to  the  dog  the 
horse  has,  from  the  inception  of  his  domesticity,  always  dis- 
played the  greatest  elasticity — the  most  remarkable  aptitude 
in  adapting  himself  to  change  of  climate,  situation  and  condi- 
tion. 

When  the  black  horse  roamed  wild  in  his  native  habitat 
— the  fertile  valleys  of  the  Meuse,  the  Scheldt  and  the  Rhine, 
he  measured  nearly  sixteen  hands,  but  was  coarse,  logy,  stu- 
pid, ungainly,  with  hairv  legs,  a  big  head  and  a  short,  ragged 
neck.  It  seems  r'  jst  incredulous,  but  is  nevertheless  true, 
that  the  little,  deer-liue,  black  ponies  of  the  Scandinavian 
Islands,  which  the  Norsemen  carried  in  their  egg-shell  boats 
on  their  piratical  forays  into  France,  England  and  Scotland, 
should,  without  one  single  known  outcross,  have  been  de- 
scended from  this  gigantic  European  stock.  From  these 
Norse  ponies  the  famous  Caledonian  Shelties — originally 
tracing  to  the  semi-domesticated  duns  and  piebalds — received 
a  dip  which  is,  to  this  day,  clearly  visible  in  the  coats  and 
forms  of  many  of  them. 

The  wild  white  horse,  with  hairy  jowl,  tufted  fetlock,  short, 
thick  neck,  and  extraordinary  bulk  of  barrel,  was  indigenous 
to  the  region  north  and  east  of  the  Black  Sea.  In  domestic- 
ity he  grew,  in  the  plains  of  Asia  Minor,  into  shapely  gran- 
deur, and  was  the  favorite  of  all  the  great  Persian  monarchs. 
Crossed  with  the  bay,  he  either  controlled  the  coat  or  asserted 
his  presence  in  white  marks  in  the  face  and  on  the  legs.  Ulti- 
mately taken,  in  large  numbers,  into  the  valley  of  thePo,  he 
was,  during  the  middle  ages,  and  on  the  monastery  farms  of 
the  Latin  Church,  crossed  with  the  domesticated  blacks  of 
Continental  Europe,  and  again  with  the  bays  which  were 
either  captured  or  purchased  from  the  Acdalusian  Mahomet- 
ans. But  he  still  dominated  the  form  and  the  color,  and 
thus  came  into  existence  the  iron  greys,  the  dapple  greys  and 
the  suliards  (dirty  greys),  which  several  varieties  constituted 
nearly  all  the  re-mounts  of  the  Christian  cavalry  employed 
by  the  early  crusaders,  and  100,000  of  which  met  and  routed 
a  Saracen  cavalry  force  of  300,000  in  a  single  charge  m  Lesser 
Asia,  during  the  first  crusade,  leaving  more  than  30,000  dead 
disciples  of  the  Prophet  on  the  field. 

The  interbreeding  of  the  whites,  blacks  and  bays,  which 
was  commenced  under  the  direction  aud  patronage  of  Charle- 
magne in  the  beginning  of  the  ninth  century,  produced  the 
biggest,  most  powerful  and  most  showy  horse  the  world  bad 
ever  seen.  Used  exclusively  in  war  for  nearly  two  hundred 
years,  he  was  muscular,  vigorous,  active  and  enduring.  But 
eventually  relegated,  by  the  invention  of  gun  powder,  to  the 
field  of  domestic  industry,  and  propogated  in  the  rich, 
marshy,  pastorial  regions  of  Southern  France,  he  markedly 
degenerated  in  quality,  though  he  continued  to  increase  in 
size  till  he  attained  the  lubberly  form  and  the  ponderous 
weight  which  he  presents  to  us  in  the  Normans  and  so-called 
Percherons  that  have  been  so  largely  imported  into  the 
United  States. 

Now,  will  it  be  believed  that  the  little,  sprightly  and  won- 
derfully speedy  " grkbidete"  (grey  ponies),  still  to  be  seen  in 
great  numbsrs  on  the  French  side  of  the  Pyrenees  moun- 
tains, are  thoroughly  identical  in  blood  and  origin  with  the 
elephantine  draft  horses  that  we  have  obtained,  and  are  still 
obtaining,  from  the  Continental  Republic?  Whether  be- 
lieved or  not,  it  is  accurately  and  demonstrably  true.  There 
is,  however,  one  generally  admitted  historic  fact  which  will 
materially  assist  American  incredulity  at  this  point.  I  re- 
fer to  the  fact  that  the  small,  compact  aud  amazingly  gimpy 
roadsters  of  Canada,  are  known  to  be  the  lineal  descendants, 
with  little  or  no  out-crossing,  of  this  very  same  mammoth 
draft  stock,  which  was  at  an  early  day,  brought  to  that 
country  by  the  pioneer  French  emigrants.  From  these  road- 
sters we  obtained  Canada  Chief,  Canada  Jack,  the  McNitt 
Horse,  and,  greatest  of  all,  eld  Pacing  Pilot,  with  a  host  of 
others  that  figure  prominently  and  brilliantly  from  the  first 
to  the  last  of  the  volumes  of  the  American  Trotting  Register. 
The  historic  rule  is  that  upon  being  transferred  from  a 
warm  to  a  cold  climate — from  luxuriant  perennial  pastures  to 
bleak,  barren,  Btony  hills — the  horse,  of  whatever  breed,  de- 
creases rapidly  in  size,  but  greatly  improves  in  quality,  pro- 
vided there  be  any  quality  in  his  inheritance.  It  is  also  an 
historic  rule  that  when  tried  by  the  severest  of  climatic  rigor, 
the  fat  and  the  coarser  blood  elements  are  strained  out  to- 
gether, and  that,  upon  the  principle  of  the  survival  of  the 
fittest,  the  strongest,  most  positive  of  the  ancestral  lines,  not 
only  holds,  but  remolds  the  form.  Thus  comes  it  to  pass  that 
the  native  Canadian  pacers  and  trotters,  having  been  purged 
of  the  deteriorating  elements  which  went  with  the  surplus 
bulk  of  their  fure-parents  have  retained  to  the  full  the 
vigor,  the  endurance,  the  inheritent  sp^ed  and  all  the  pecu- 
liar aptitudes  which  distinguish  the  Saracenic  bays  with 
whom  their  white  and  black  ancestors  were  crossed  more 
than  one  thousand  years  ago  for  the  purpose  of  producing  the 
Carlovingian  war  horse. 

Now,  thtre  is  still  another  rule  well  established  in  history, 
and  that  is  that  when  a  race  of  big  horses  has,  by  a  cold 
climate  and  short  feed,  been  stripped  of  all  deteriorating 
surplussage  in  bulk  and  fat.it  undergoes  an  astounding  change 
for  the  better  on  being  removed  to  a  warm  climate,  especially 
if,  in  the  latter  situation,  it  is  systematically  propagated  and 
educated  for  the  race  track.  This  accounts  for  the  fact  that 
the  roadster  descandants  of  the  Canadian  stock  have,  in  Ken- 
tucky and  California,  achieved  a  glory  which  completely 
eclipses  the  fame  of  their  progenitors,  or  even  that  of  their 
present  confreres  of  the  Queen's  American  dominions. 

We  are  now  ready  for  the  Orloff  trotters,  a  choice  importa- 
tion of  which  has  recently  found  its  way  to  the  great  Palo 
Alto  farm.  That  this  breed  should,  despite  the  long,  rigorous 
Russian  winters  with  which  it  has  had  to  contend,  have  risen 
to  a  worldwide  renown,  is  equally  demonstrative  of  the  in- 
telligent skill  and  the  exalted  humanity  of  the  splendid 
prince  from  whom  it  takes  its  name. 

The  origin  of  the  Orloffs.in  which  Americans  are  decidedly 
interested,  is  easily  traced  by  one  who  has  made  a  thorough 
study  of  equine   history.     The    primeval    duns — primarily 


native  to  the  boundless  steppes  which  lie  northeast  of  the 
Caspian  Sea — were  among  the  first  of  their  species  to  be 
brought  under  the  curb  and  rein  of  the  warring  people  who 
have,  from  pre-historic  times,  inhabited  that  vast  region  of 
the  old  world.  The  duns  make  their  original  noteworthy 
appearance  in  that  mighty  force  with  which  Cyrus  swept 
triumphantly  through  Persia,  Mesopotamia  and  Asia  Minor, 
reducing  Babylon,  Ecbatana,  Sardis  and  laying  the  founda- 
tion of  the  Medo-Persian  Empire.  The  most  puissant  arm  of 
that  force  was  the  Median  cavalry,  mounted  on  dun  horses, 
which,  as  shown  in  the  bas-relief  carvings  of  that  remote 
period,  were  trotters  and  pacers  ("  amblers").  Against  this 
cavalry  Croesus  found  his  elephants  worse  than  worthless.aod 
from  the  time  of  the  conquests  of  Cyrus  onward  dun  horses 
became  more  aud  more  popular  in  Lesser  Asia,  and  were  ulti- 
mately imported  into  the  Grecian  Islands,  whence  they 
readily  worked  their  way  into  Italy  and  Northwestern 
Europe. 

During  modern  times  the  duns,  large  numbers  of  which 
are  still  found  in  semi-domesticity  in  the  Asiatic  dominions 
of  the  Czar,  have  from  time  to  time  been  liberally  incorpor- 
ated into  the  Russian  cavalry,  where  they  have  ever  been  dis- 
tinguished for  the  road  gaits  which  are  natural  to  them  in 
the  wild  state.  It  this  service  they  have  been  crossed  and  re- 
crossed  with  Arabian  bays  and  English  thoroughbreds,  much 
to  the  increase  of  their  size,  and  to  the  improvement  of  their 
size,  finish  and  speed,  but  with  all  their  intermingling  with 
other  and  nobler  stock  they  have  perpetuated  their  original 
gaits  with  an  unwavering  persistency  which  may  safely  chal- 
lenge history  for  a  parallel. 

The  Orloff  trotters  unquestionably  originated  in  these 
highly  improved  duns,  upon  whom  the  Prince,  and,  doubt- 
less, others  before  him,  have  effected  many  important  top- 
dressings  with  the  best  trotting  material  and  thoroughbred 
material  of  which  they  could  avail  themselves. 

The  transfer  of  the  Orloff  stock  from  unfriendly  Russia  to 
California,  the  Arabia  of  the  New  World,  will,  beyond  doubt, 
open  a  new  and  glorious  era,  not  only  in  the  career  of  that 
stock,  but  in  the  career  of  the  American  trotter,  as  well. 
Here  they  will  be  interbred  with  strains  congenial  to  them 
in  gait  and  in  mental  propensities — strains  which  have 
accomplished  the  greatest  victories  over  time,  and  which 
have  brought  the  diagonal,  as  well  as  the  lateral  step,  to  the 
highest  present  degree  of  frictionless  perfection.  And  here 
they  will  impart  to  our  trotters  that  fresh  invigoration — that 
increase  of  substance  and  constitutional  force — without 
which  no  family  of  horses  can  long  maintain  a  progressive 
course. 

The  only  bar  to  the  popularity  of  the  Orloff  cross,  in  this 
country,  is  the  "Trotting  Standard."  But,  fortunately  for 
that  cross,  it  is  to  be  made  in  California,  where  the  incom- 
parable achievements  of  Directum  and  other  trotting  won- 
ders, not  "standard-bred,"  have  knocked  the  unscientific 
rulings  of  a  coterie  of  antiquated  New  Yorkers  into  infini- 
tesimal smithereens.  And  it  is  to  be  made  upon  that  im- 
perial farm,  which,  with  its  exhaustless  capital,  has  set  a 
mark  far  above  the  standard  requirements  and  all  the  nar- 
rowing influences  of  unmeaning  stud-book  technicalities;  a 
farm  which,  though  its  great  projector  has  left  it  and  gone 
to  inherit  better  and  brighter  possessions,  is  still  under  a 
management  which  is  filled  with  his  inspiration,  guided  by 
his  immortal  genius,  and  sustained  by  his  quiet,  but  majestic 
and  unconquerable  independence  of  thought. 

Under  the  auspices  and  intelligent  guidance  of  Palo  Alto 
the  Orloffs,  will,  in  the  course  of  a  few  years,  abundantly 
prove  the  wisdom  of  their  introduction  into  America  as  a 
valuable,  and  by  no  means  abrupt,  out-cross  upon  our  trot- 
ters. The  numerous  thoroughbred  infusions  which  they 
posess  will,  alone,  form  a  sufficiently  strong  link  of  con- 
geniality to  make  the  intermixture  thoroughly  homogenius, 
and  to  insure  a  most  beneficent  union  of  their  ancient  and 
unequalled  trotting  and  pacing  inheritance  with  that  kindred, 
but  much  shallower,  inheritance  which  is  claimed  in  behalf 
of  the  American  roadster. 

To  Palo  Alto  will,  in  the  future,  be  accorded  the  enviable 
glory  of  having  so  mingled  the  long-observed  gems  of  an- 
cient Media  with  the  new  and  lustrous  gems  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  as  to  produce  a  circlet  of  trotting  jewels  compared 
with  which  all  other  circlets  shall  fade  into  the  dullest  in- 
significance, and  which  shall  bring  to  Lbe  forefront  of  the 
equine  world  the  speediest,  grandest,  most  beautiful  and  most 
enduring  tribe  of  trotters  and  road  horses  on  which  the  sun 
shall  ever  have  shone.  And  this  peerless  tribe  of  diagonal 
steppers  I  here,  in  advance,  baptise  in  the  euphoneous  and 
eminently  fitting  name  of  "  The  Orloffornians. 


Vermont  Black    Hawk. 


One  of  the  Old  Guard. 


When  Warren  Peabody  died  at  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  last  month, 
he  held  the  record,  as  he  had  been  on  the  turf  actively  en- 
gaged in  racing  for  over  sixty  years.  He  was  born  at  Attica, 
N.  Y.,  in  1817  and  began  riding  runners  in  quarter  races  when 
ten  years  old.  His  first  employer  was  Edwin  Stevens  of 
Batavia,  N.  Y.  His  fame  as  a  jockey  spread  like  magic,  and 
he  was  afterwards  engaged  by  Robert  Stevens  to  ride  Annetta 
by  Nullifier,  out  of  Polly  Hopkins,  in  the  celebrated  races 
over  old  L'oion  Course,  Long  Island,  and  was  christened  the 
"  Young  Napoleon  of  the  saddle."  He  rode  horses  for  Isaac 
Snediker,  Harry  Van  Cott  and  other  Eastern  gentlemen  of 
prominence  in  racing  circles  back  in  the  thirties.  He  also 
accompanied  a  stable  of  thoroughbreds  in  the  West  and 
Canada,  carrying  their  colors  to  the  front  in  many  races. 
Warren  was  passionately  fond  of  'he  turf,  and  condoned  in 
the  profession,  riding  Waterloo,  Tom  Brant,  sister  to  Rival, 
and  others  to  victory,  not  forgetting  old  Tom  Kimball,  son  of 
American  Eclipse. 

In  1845,  when  the  American  trottinghorse  put  in  his  claims 
for  recognition  in  fashionable  circles,  Peabody  discarded  the 
saddle  for  the  sulky.  In  18-17  he  drove  Jack  Rossi ter  2:31 
in  his  first  big  race  against  Lady  Jane  2:30  at  Chicago,  but 
was  beaten.  The  race  took  place  over  the  first  enclosed  track 
ever  constructed  in  Chicago,  and  although  lowering  business 
blocks  now  occupy  the  spot,  it  was  then  an  open  prairie. 
This  race  was  in  two-mile  heats,  the  prevailing  custom  of 
that  day,  and  the  average  time  close  to  5:20,  or  a  2:40  gait. 
Several  matches  followed  during  the  fall  of  1847,  but  the 
Lady  was  too  much  for  Jack.  The  next  year  there  was  a 
turn  in  the  tide  and  September  8,  1848,  Jack  Rossiter  dis- 
tanced Chautauqua  Chief  and  lady  Jane  the  first  heat  in  a 
two-mile  race  over  the  old  Cold  Spring  track  in  Buffalo,  in 
5:08,  or  a  2:34  gait,  a  very  creditable  performance  for  those 
days — lone  before  the  advent  of  boots,  toe-weights,  improved 
tracks  and  modern  sulkies  and  methods  of  training.  Peo- 
body  had  Flora  Temple  in  his  stable  for  a  time.  He  also  gave 
Maud  S.  2:08|  her  early  lessons. 


I  saw  some  months  ago  an  article  headed,  "  Was  It  a  Tin- 
Cup  Record?"  in  reference  to  Vermont  Black  Hawk,  trotting 
at  a  place  near  Boston  in  1842. 

My  father  went  from  Irasburg,  Vt.,  to  Lowell,  Mass.,  in 
1840.  He  was  a  blacksmith  by  trade,  but  horse  shoeing  was 
his  forte,  and  he  continued  in  that  business  (in  Lowell)  until 
1850.  In  '51  he  kept  a  shoeing  shop  principally.  The  liv- 
ery stables  generally  had  their  horses  shod  by  the  year,  and  it 
was  part  of  my  work  to  take  the  horses  from  the  stables  to. the 
shop  and  return  them  when  shod. 

Now,  as  a  boy,  I  was  well  acquainted  with  Ben  Thurston, 
He  did  not  keep  the  American  House,  as  has  beeD  stated,  but 
did  keep  the  barn  that  was  in  connection  with  the  Central 
House  on  the  corner  of  Central  and  Market  streets,  and  at 
this  barn  I  first  saw  Black  Hawk.  The  horse  was  in  the  sta- 
ble at  the  time,  sick  with  some  kind  of  fever,  aud  a  veterin- 
arian by  the  name  of  Wood,  an  Englishman,  was  attending 
him.  After  the  horse  recovered  from  his  illness,  some  time 
during  that  fall,  he  trotted  a  race  on  what  was  then  called 
Chapel  Hill,  within  the  city  limits,  and  hundreds  of  people 
went  to  see  the  race,  Thurston  drove  the  horse.  I  don't  re- 
member which  horse  won,  but  think  the  time  was  only  about 
3:15. 

Soon  after  this  race  the  horse  had  a  second  attack  of  fever, 
and  this  time  came  near  dying.  Mr.  Wood,  of  Lowell,  had  a 
brother  in  Boston  that  was  a  veterinary,  and  he  was  called  at 
this  time  to  consult  with  his  brother,  and  it  was  decided  by 
them  that  the  horse  would  not  stand  training,  and  it  was  for 
that  reason  that  Thurston  parted  with  him. 

Mr.  Hill,  of  Bridgport,  Vt.,  had  two  sons  that  used  to  pass 
through  Lowell  to  Brighton  with  cattle,  and  they  generally 
stopped  at  the  Central  House ;  and  it  was  there  that  the  boys 
fell  in  love  with  the  horse,  and  they  finally  bought  him  with 
the  proceeds  of  cattle  that  they  had  sold  in  Brighton  Market, 
Mass.,  and  the  transaction  came  near  bankrupting  the  whole 
family. 

At  that  time,  Thurston  did  not  claim  any  special  pedigree 
for  the  horse.  I  am  sure  Thurston  bought  this  horse  out  of  a 
lot  that  was  going  through  Boston  and  his  breeding  was  not 
known  at  that  time.  However,  as  bis  colts  began  to  come  on 
they  were  fine  styled  and  good  actors,  but  not  speedy.  People 
then  began  to  look  up  his  breeding.  They  came  to  Lowell 
and  all  the  information  they  could  get  from  Thurston  was 
that  he  came  from  New  Hampshire,  and  after  looking  the 
matter  up  they  pronounced  him  a  Morgan,  which  at  that 
time  was  the  best  and  most  popular  breed  of  horses  in  New 
England. 

Now,  let  me  say  that  I  was  personally  acquainted  with  both 
the  families — the  Morgans  and  Black  Hawks,  for  years  in  the 
state  of  Vermont,  and  I  have  always  considered  them  two  dif- 
ferent tribes.  I  have  seen  many  Black  Hawks  and  I  never 
saw  one  with  a  Morgan  foot.  The  Black  Hawks  all  had  thin- 
shelled  hoofs,  and  nine-tenths  of  them  had  quarter-cracks, 
and  when  trained  for  speed  their  feet  often  cracked  and  bled. 
There  was  the  Peck  Horse,  foaled  in  Montpelier,  Vt.,  the 
Hall  Black  Hawk,  owned  in  Manchester,  N.  H.,  the  Annis 
Horse,  of  Lake  Mills,  Wis.,old  North  Hawk,  that  was  owned 
in  Lodi,  Wis., and  many  others  that  might  be  named,  all  had 
thin-shelled  hoofs  and  quarter-cracks.  These  were  all  sons 
of  the  old  horse.  But  how  with  the  Morgans?  Their  feet 
were  the  best  and  a  typical  Morgan  could  go  more  miles  in- 
twenty-four  hours,  without  shoes,  than  any  Black  Hawk  with 
the  best  of  shoeing. 

An  old-timer,  John   Doty,  of  Montpelier,  who  then  made  a 
business  of  selling  in  New  Y'ork  City,  used  to  say  that  "  the 
Black  Hawks  are  only  good  for  door-yard  purposes  and  then 
only  on  pleasant  days." — G.  M.  S.  in  Horse  Review. 
Carthage,  S.  D.    "  _ 

"What  Marvin  is  Doing. 

Meadeville,  Feb.  3. — Prospect  Hill  Farm  has  now  40 
head  in  training  and  Marvin  is  busy  from  morning  till  night. 
For  a  time  it  was  reported  that  Belleflower  would  be  bred 
this  year.  This  has  been  abandoned,  however,  as  Marvin 
will  race  her  in  her  five-year-old  form  and  hopes  that  she 
will  be  better  than  ever.  Answer,  Ah  There  and  Saint  Minx 
are  among  the  promising  material  in  Marvin's  string,  the 
last  named  being  a  two-year-old  filly  by  St.  Bel  out  of  a  mare 
by  Mambrino  Patchen.  She  is  one  of  the  nest  prospects  and 
will  be  a  starter  in  the  Kentucky  Futurity  next  fall.  An-  ' 
other  choice  youogster  in  Marvin's  stable  is  Mercy  Me,  a 
two-year-old  filly  by  Conductor  out  of  Rosey  Wood  by 
Wood's  Hambletonian.  Marvin  has  a  two-year-old  filly  by 
Bow  Bells  out  of  a  mare  by  Red  Wilkes,  that  can  step  a  2:35 
gait  right  uow.  Another  promising  one  is  a  two-year-old  by 
Gen.  Wellington,  brother  to  Sunol,  out  of  Effie  G.,  by  Red 
Wilkes.  Electric  Bell  also  has  a  good  representative  in  a 
two-year-old  filly  out  of  a  mare  by  Hull.  St.  Bel  is  repre- 
sented in  his  stable  by  eight  two-year-old  fillies  out  of  such 
mares  as  Alice  Wilkes  by  George  Wilkes,  Beulah  by  Sultan, 
Gambara  by  Ansel,  Hazel  Eye  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  Kiss 
by  Greenlander,  Minnie  Drake  by  Louis  Napoleon  and 
Minx  by  Mambrino  Patchen.  He  has  also  five  three-year-old 
fillies  by  St.  Bel  and  one  by  L"gal  Test,  together  with  two 
three-year-old  colls  out  of  Beulah  West  and  Eula  Lee. 

Antella  by  Ansel  is  agnin  on  the  move.  She  is  a  very  fast 
little  mare.  Antella  is  now  a  four-yeanold,  and  in  addition 
to  her  the  list  of  foals  of  1890  in  Marvin's  stable  include 
Favora  by  St.  Bel,  dam  of  Mambrino  King  ;  Temple  Bell  by 
St.  Bel,  out  of  Nora  Temple;  San  Roman  by  St.  Bel,  dam  by 
Sultan,  Comet  by  St.  Bel,  dam  by  Red  Wilkes  and  Gold 
Coast.  Almost  all  of  these  colts  are  eligible  to  the  Terre 
Haute  and  Kentucky  Futurities. 


Five  stallions  have  five  or  more  representatives  in  the 
2:15  list,  they  being  Electioneer  and  Guy  Wilkes  with  six 
apiece,  while  Simmons,  Alcyone  and  Red  Wilkes  have  five 
each.  Of  course,  the  question  of  when  each  stallion  was 
foaled  cuts  an  important  figure  in  a  matter  of  this  sori,  and  on 
this  basis  of  comparison  Guy  Wilkes  and  Simmons  show 
well,  as  they  first  saw  the  light  in  1879,  while  Electioneer 
was  foaled  in  1S68,  Red  Wilkes  in  1874,  and  Alcyone  in  1877. 
But  these  figures,  taken  by  themselves,  are  very  misleading. 
For  instance,  Electioneer  might  about  as  well  have  never 
been  in  the  stud,  for  all  the  foals  he  got  before  going  to 
California  did  not  exceed  a  dozen,  and  but  one  of  these  is 
known  to  have  trained.  Simmons  and  Guy  Wilkes  are  on  a 
par  so  far  as  their  year  of  foaling  is  concerned  and  the  num- 
ber of  2:15  horses  to  the  credit  of  each,  but  the  live  by  Guy 
Wilkes  are  much  better  race  nags  than  those  by  Simmons, 
and  the  aversge  of  their  records  is  lower.  Figures  are  some- 
times very  misleading,  in  spile  of  the  assertion  that  they  can- 
not lie.

TURF  AND  TRACK 

THE  SULKY. 

Silyerone,  2:19],  by  Alcyone,  is  not  in  foal  and  may  pos- 
sibly be  trained  this  year. 

P.  J.  Shatter  will  be  seen  on  the  California  circuit  with 
some  excellent  trotters  and  pacers. 

Who  wants  a  campaigner  this  year?  The  place  to  get  one 
very  reasonable  is  at  Napa,  February  21st. 

ANDY  McDowell  is  jogging  Edenia,2:13$,at  Pleasanton, 
and  is  well  pleased  with  the  way  she  is  working. 

John  Kelly  writes  East  that  Directum  is  wintering  finely 
and  will  come  close  to  the  two-minute  mark  before  the  end  of 
1894.  

Preparations  for  a  great  trotting  meeting  at  Los  Gatos 
on  the 22d  are  progressing  rapidly,  and  a  good  time  is  ex- 
pected.   

"  Doc  "  Williams  left  San  Jose  for  Salinas  last  Monday. 
It  is  rumored  that  he  is  to  take  charge  of  a  large  stock  farm 
at  the  latter  place.  

It  is  rumored  that  a  Boston  weanling  by  Arion,  2:Q7|,  out 
of  a  mare  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  has  trotted  a  quarter  to  hal- 
ter in  forty-live  seconds.  

Anna  Belle  2:27*  by  Dawn  2:18!  arrived  at  her  new 
home  Green  Meadow  Farm,  Santa  Clara,  last  Saturday.  She 
will  be  bred  to  Hambletonian  Wilkes  1679. 


Ed  Lafferty  is  getting  his  long  row  of  stalls  at  the  Oak- 
land racing  track  filled  with  choice  trotting  and  pacing  colts. 
Ed  will  be  to  the  front  in  more  than  one  race  this  year. 

Melvar,  2:22,19  himself  again  and  will  appear  in  the 
races  this  fall.  Capt.  B.  E.  Harris  has  him  in  better  fix  than 
he  has  ever  been  since  he  first  appeared  on  the  track. 

Isaac  is  the  name  of  a  colt  by  Clay,  2:25,  owned  by  Joe 
Thaver  of  Lexington  that  Jack  Curry  places  himself  upon 
record  as  being  the  fastest  youngster  that  he  has  ever  seen. 

WrTH  two  weeks  of  warm  weather  now  the  pastures  in 
California  will  begin  to  look  as  if  they  ought  to  make  good, 
feed  for  live  stock.  This  has  been  a  very  "backward  winter." 

To  all  who  are  seeking  stylish,  well-trained  and  well-mated, 
fine-lookins  roadster  teams,  we  would  advise  them  to  attend 
the  great  sale  at  Napa  on  the  21st  inst.    Send  for   catalogue 

Governor  Markham  has  appointed  and  commissioned 
Philo  Hersey,  Director  of  Agricultural  District  No.  5,  San 
Mateo  and  Santa  Clara  counties,  vice  William  Buckley,  re- 
fused to  serve.  

C.  Z.  Hebert's  fine-looking  game  trotting  stallion  ', Bruno, 
2:19,  is  making  a  season  at  Salinas.  His  book  is  being  rap- 
idly filled  with  the  names  of  some  of  the  best-bred  mares  in 
Monterey  County.  

Ifvou  have  a  stallion  whose  services  are  not  sought  after 
by  owners  of  broodmares,  call  in  the  veterinarian  and  have 
him  gelded  at  once,  for,  in  the  language  of  the  street  gamin: 
"  He's  no  good,  see  !j"      

F.  F.  Motjlton,  of  Redwood  City,  has  reason  to  be  proud 
of  his  filly  Silver  Belle,  by  Silver  Bow.  She  is  very  promis- 
ing and  like  all  the  Silver  Bow's,  knows  nothing  but  trot  ana 
every  time  she  is  driven  seems  to  improve. 

Breeders  and  owners  of  stock  farms  who  are  in  need  of 
producing  dams  which  are,  as  individuals,  perfect  as  pictures, 
should  not  forget  that  there  isja  number  to  be  sold  next 
Wednesday  at  Napa,    See  advertisement. 

Phebie  Wilkes  has  gained  50  pound  since  she  went 
into  winter  quarters.  She  now  weighs  950  pounds.  Her 
record  is  2:11,  but  in  McHenry's  hands  she  will  be  a  factor 
not  to  be  overlooked  in  the  free-for-alls  of  1894. 


Marvin  is  now  working  some  forty  head  of  Prospect  Hill 
trotters  at  Meadville  on  the  covered  track.  The  great  little 
filly,  Antfilla,  2:26},  is  among  them  and  is  thought  to  have 
recovered  from  her  accident  of  two  years  ago. 

Arion.  2:07|,  will  enter  quite  extensively  through  the 
free-for-alls  for '94,  by  his  owner,  J.  Malcomb  Forbes.  Arion 
should  make  a  great  campaigner;  we  believe  he  has  the 
necessary  amount  of  substance  that  is  essential  to  a  great 
racehorse. 

Timothy  C.  Anglin  prices  Nellie  A.  (2),  2:19,  at  $30,000. 
Ella  Woodline  (2),  2:23£,  who  brought  at  auction  $5,000,  is 
held  at  $15,000.  Cut  Glass  (2),  2:20j,  was  recently  sold  for 
$7,500.  Director's  Flower  (2),  2:20,  changed  hands  last  fall 
at  $5,100.  Boreal  (1),  2:32i,  might  have  been  sold  to  go  to 
England  for  $10,000.  There  is  still  money  in  breeding  trot- 
ters that  can  trot  and  trot  young. 

H.  J.  Agnew,  of  the  fVgnew  Stock  Farm,  is  contemplat- 
ing placing  his  fine  filly,  Twenty-third,  by  Director,  2:17, 
dam  Nettie  Nutwood,  2:18!  (the  dam  of  Hillsdale,  2:24*, 
three-year-old  record),  in  the  hands  of  Monroe  Salisbury,  to 
be  campaigned  in  tire  East  this  season.  Great  things  are 
predicted  of  this  filly,  as  her  half-brother,  Hillsdale,  2:24A, 
proved  himself  a  great  campaigner  last  year. 

Two  vows  should  be  made  by  every  breeder,  whether  large 
or  small,  and  when  made  rigidly  adhered  to:  1.  Not  to  breed 
a  mare  unless  her  offspring,  as  good  as  herself,  would  be  sat- 
isfactory. 2.  Not  to  patronize  a  stallion  unless  he  is  individ- 
ually and  by  breeding  what  you  want  to  perpetuate.  The 
man  who  makes  a  study  of  dams  and  sires  before  breeding 
will  not  trouble  himself  about  service  fees,  but  will  occupy 
his  mind  about  the  quality  of  the  goods. — Maine  Farmer. 

In  Chicago  on  Wednesday  R.  P.  Pepper,  of  Kentucky,  sold 
sixty-five  horses,  the  get  of  Onward,  Acolyte  and  Nomad  for 
$20,475,  an  average  of  $315.  Promoter,  2:19,  the  bay  stallion 
by  Acolyte,  out  of  Musette,  by  Ohio  Eclipse,  fetched  $1,250, 
going  to  J.  G.  Boyd,  of  Milwaukee.  The  three-year-old  colt 
Olympaid,  by  Nomad,  out  of  Gleaner,  dam  of  Deposit,  2:29.f, 
by  Onward,  brought  $855.  He  trotted  a  mile  in  2:52  as  a 
yearling. 


Col.  H.  I.  Thornton  has  sold  all  of  his  trotting  stock  and 
the  great  pacer  Ramon,  2:17},  to  Monroe  Salisbury.  The 
lot  includes  some  of  the  choicest-bred  fillies  by  James  Madi- 
son, 2:17f,  and  Director,  2:17,  to  be  seen  in  this  State.  The 
stallion  James  Madison,  however,  he  had  already  consigned 
to  A.  S.  Severance,  of  Los  Angeles.  In  Salisbury's  hands  a 
number  of  the  progeny  of  this  stallion  will  be  seen  on  the 
turf  hereafter. 

The  trotting  stallion  Danton  Moultrie  is  advertised  to 
make  the  season  of  1894  at  the  Moorland  Stock  Farm  near 
Milpitaa.  This  young  horse  is  royally-bred,  being  by  Guy 
Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  Carrie  Malone  (sister  to  Chas.  Derby, 
2:20,  and  Steineer,  2:29£),  by  Steinway  ;  second  dam  Katy  G., 
by  Eleclioneer  ;  third  dam  Fanny  Malone  (grandamof  Maud 
C,  2:14!),  by  Niagara,  etc.  He  will  be  trotted  through  the 
California  circuit  after  his  season  ends  this  year. 

There  should  be  a  Futurity  Stake  offered  for  the  produce 
of  mares  that  have  never  produced  a  2:30  performer.  This 
will  encourage  the  small  breeder  to  make  his  payments  regu- 
larly, for  be  will  be  sure  of  having  as  good  a  chance  as  his 
neighbor.  The  excellence  that  is  directly  attributed  to  the 
value  of  a  producing  dam  is  everywhere  acknowledged,  and 
to  have  to  make  entries  against  brothers  and  sisters  to  great 
performers  is  a  hardship  all  small  breeders  understand. 


Millard  F.  Sanders  has  taken  up  W.  Wood,  2:07L,  and 
is  having  him  jogged  at  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm.  He 
will  have  him  in  all  the  free-for-alls  this  year  ;  Mr.  Sanders 
has  some  very  promising  Steinways  and  Charles  Derbys  also 
in  his  string.  

J.  A.  McKerron  has  a  magnificent  assortment  of  turf 
goods.  Horsemen  who  are  getting  their  strings  of  trotters 
and  pacers  ready  for  the  circuit  should  call  upon  him  and 
get  all  the  boots,  bandages,  horse  clothing  and  harness  neces- 
sary for  the  campaign. 

W.C.France  A  Son  have  leased  the  Highland  Stock 
Farm,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  to  Brasfield  &  Samuels  for  one  year 
for  $1,700,  with  the  privilege  of  continuing  until  the  farm  is 
sold.  Red  Wilkes  will  be  at  this  farm,  and  probablyjsoiue 
of  the  other  trotting  stock.  Mr.  Frauce  will  likely  go  to 
New  YorK.  

Fred  M.  McHenry  has  been  installed  as  second  trainer 
by  his  brother,  M.  E.  McHenry,  in  place  of  Albert  Fullager. 
The  latter,  who  has  filled  that  position   with  credit  for  the 

Sast  two  years,  has  accepted  the  position  of  trainer  for  the 
keystone  Stock  Farm,  Omaha,  Neb.,  the  property  of  W.  A. 
Paxton,  Jr.  

Bay  RoniNrtON,  the  well-known  trainer  and  driver  started 
fur  Portland  last  Tuesday  to  tak«  charge  of  Altao,  2:17,  and 
Tru--mr.ni,  2:201-  These  horses  belong  to  P.  J.  Mann  of 
Portland,  and  after  going  through  the  Montana  circuit  will 
be  seen  at  the  State  Fair  and  all  the  meetings  on  the  Califor- 
nia circuit  that  take  place  after  its  close. 

The  Union  Park  Association  of  Saginaw  has  decided  to 
increase  its  capital  stock  and  apply  for  entrance  to  the  grand 
trotting  circuit  vice  Pittsburg,  resigned.  The  officers  say 
that  have  reason  to  believe  that  the  city  will  be  admitted. 
Saginaw  has  been  the  center  of  the  trotting  interests  in  Michi- 
gan for  years,  and  her  adum**nn  would  be  popular. 

Martin  CARTBB,  of  the  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  was  in  Sun 
Jose  la.Mt  Wednesday  negotiating  with  C.  F.  Bunch,  with  (he 
vi»w  to  having  the  latter  campaign  his  noted  stallion,  Nut- 
irood  Wilkes,  5:20*,  dam  Lida  W.,  2:181,  by  Nutwood,  2:1*^. 
Je  also  wishes  Mr.  Bunch  to  take  Direct  Line,  2:25  (p),  by 
Director,  2:17,  dam  Lida  W.,  and  a  mare  by  Noonday,  2:30, 
dam  a  Director  mare^ 


One  of  the  finest  young  stallions  in  the  southern  part  of 
California  is  A.  C.  King's  Young  Alf  Richmond,  by  A.  W. 
Richmond  dam  Susie  Hill  by  Tyler's  Black  Hawk,  second 
dam  by  Willamson's  Belmont.  Mr.  King  has  reason  to  be 
proud  of  this  stallion  for  when  placed  in  competition  with 
others  he  has  won  ;  four  first  { premiums.  And  as  all 
the  breeders  in  and  around  Covina  are  taking  a  deep  interest 
in  the  horse  by  reason  of  his  breeding  and  individuality 
and  the  uniform  excellence  of  his  progeny,  there  is  no  reason 
why  he  should  not  make  quite  a  reputation  as  a  sire,  when 
mated  to  the  mares  now  booked  to  him. 


Frederick  Dietz,  New  York  City,  has  made  arrange- 
ments to  have  his  grandly-bred  stallion  Director's  Jug,  2:29£, 
make  a  season  at  Edward  Willetts  &  Son's  Brighthome  Stock 
Farm,  Rosylyn,  Long  Island.  In  the  Jug  is  a  combine  of  the 
world's  fastest  trotting  and  pacing  blood.  His  owner's  cata- 
logue shows  sixteen  of  the  horse's  biood  relations  have  an 
average  record  of  2:10} — eight  trotters  and  eight  pacers.  Two 
of  the  latter  have  also  trotting  records — Jay-Eye-See,  2:10 ; 
Direct,  2:1S}.  Ten  of  ihe  family  have  won  a  total  of  over 
$243,000  ;  average  over  $24,000. 

A  number  of  horsemen  have  been  very  anxious  to  know 
which  of  the  races  advertised  for  the  fall  meeting  of  the  P. 
C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  filled.  For  their  information  we  will 
state  that  all  the  races  filled  except  three.  The  following 
were  declared  off:  Four-year-old  pacing,  2:25  class;  Nomi- 
nation Purse — 2:17  class,  and  the  |Free-for  all  class  pacing, 
The  Association  deemed  it  advisable  to  advertise  additional 
races,  entries  for  which  will  close  March  1st.  The  pro- 
gramme will  be  so  arranged  that  all  pacers  entered  for  the 
Free-for-all,  2:12  and  2:14  classes  will  have  plenty  of  time  be- 
tween each  of  the  races  so  that  no  two  of  these  events  will  oc- 
cur on  consecutive  days. 


Btjdd  Doble  is  enthusiastic  over  the  brilliant  prospects  of 
the  trotting  turf.  He  said  the  other  day  :  "  Never  in  its  his- 
tory has  there  been  so  much  interest  taken  in  trotting  as  at 
present.  There  are  so  many  horses  with  fast  records  that 
the  free-for-all  classes  are  sure  to  have  a  large  number  of  en- 
tries. Nancy  Hanks  and  Directum  are  fine  drawing  cards. 
The  system  of  stake  races  has  taken  a  firm  hold  on  the  own- 
ers of  trotters,  so  that  with  the  safeguards  against  fraud  that 
are  thrown  around  the  sport  the  season  of  1894  is  likely  to 
be  the  most  profitable  on  record  to  both  owners  add  associa- 
tions. At  this  season  of  the  year  all  of  the  horses  look  well. 
It  is  only  when  active  training  begins  that  we  find  out  their 
weak  spots." 

The  get  of  Col.  Moorhead's  Hambletonian  Wilkes,  now  at 
Green  Meadow  Farm,  Santa  Clara,  won  $10,892.50  during 
1893.  There  were  nine  starters,  seven  of  which  have  rec- 
ords ranging  from  2:11  to  2:34!,  and  two  of  them  have  rec- 
ords of  2:11  each,  one  being  the  brown  mare  Phoebe  Wilkes, 
who  won  $6,900  out  of  thirteen  starts,  and  the  other  is  the  bay 
gelding  Rocker,  a  pacer,  that  won  $2,585.  Hambletonian 
Wilkes  is  meeting  with  the  success  he  deserves  in  the  stud.  A 
large  number  of  breeders  have  already  booked  their  choicest 
mares  to  him,  and  if  there  is  anythingin  the  benefits  of  change 
of  climate  for  a  sire,  Hambletonian  Wilkes  will  have  a  Cali- 
fornia progeny  that  will  be  a  credit  to  himself  and  the  glorious 
State  which  he  now  represents. 


John  Kelly,  the  driver  of  Directum  2:05}  who  is  now 
stationed  at  Denver,  Colorado,  writes  to  "  Veritas"  as  follows: 
"I  arrived  here  last  Friday  from  Pleasanton  and  have 
signed  a  contract  with  DuBois  Bros.,  of  this  city,  for  the 
season  of  1S94.  I  will  also  take  Directum  along  with  his 
stable,  and  probably  his  half  sister,  Electrina,  2:20.  Directum 
will  be  kept  in  the  stud  until  about  May  15,  next,  and  then 
shipped  to  me  here.  When  I  left  him,  a  week  ago,  I  think 
he  never  looked  finer  and  more  like  ready  money,  and  if  all 
goes  along  as  well  as  I  aim  it,  you  can  look  for  Nancy  Hanks' 
mark  to  be  beaten  the  coming  season.  From  a  look  at  the 
breeding  and  a  hurried  glance  over  the  members  of  my  stable, 
I  believe  there  are  plenty  of  winners  and  low  records  in  it. 
The  weather  here  is  suitable  for  regular  work  on  the  horses 
and  I  will  move  them  out  to  the  track  this  week." 


The  great  broodmare  Augusta,  by  Rysdyk's  Bellfounder, 
out  of  Dolly  Mills,  dam  of  Orange  Girl,  2:20,  Walkill  Chief, 
Artemus,  Ajax,  etc.,  by  American  Star,  slipped  and  fell  in 
entering  the  barn  at  Fred  A.  Fclger's  Rideau  Stock  Farm, 
Kingston,  Ont.,  on  the  26th  inst.,  injuring  herself  so  badly 
that  death  insued.  She  produced  Chanter,  2:20!,  by  Cuyler  ; 
Shallcross,  trial  2:23,  and  Anthem,  dam  of  Pangold,  2:24$,  by 
the  same  sire,  and  Augustine,  dam  of  Nutcoast,  2:19,  by  Pan- 
coast.  She  was  foaled  April  19,  1869,  and  was  long  a  member 
of  the  broodmare  band  at  Glenview  Farm.  Mr.  Folger  pur- 
chased her  at  the  McFerran  dispersal  sale  in  1886  and  has 
two  fillies  and  a  colt  from  her. 


On  February  6th,  at  the  American  Institute  Building,  the 
following  California-bred  horses  weie  sold  at  auction  for  the 
prices  named:  Directress,  b  m,  1886,  by  Director — Aloha; 
J.  H.  Shults,  Parkville,  L  I.,  $1,500 ;  Fay  M.,  br  m,  18S7,  by 
Director— Aloha  ;  J.  H.  Shults,  Parkville,  L.  I.,  $400  ;  Gre- 
cian Bend,  b  m,  1886,  by  Director — Sweetness;  J.  H.  .Shults, 
Parkville,  L.  I.,  $300;  Hulda  H.,  blk  m,  1889,  by  Director 
— Brownie  H.;  Wilton  Greenway,  Havre  de  Grace,  Md., 
$250  ;  Directory,  br  m,  1889,  by  Director— Nelly  Gilmer ;  A. 
E.  Tracy,  Chatham,  N.  Y.,  $520  ;  Simmeta.  blk  f,  1890,  by 
Semicolon— Lightfoot ;  G.  R.  Eusens,  City,$875;  Belle  C, 
b  m,  1888,  by  Electioneer — Belle  Campbell ;  A.  Campbell, 
Brooklyn,  $220. 

T.  W.  Barstow,  of  San  Jose,  writes  :  I  have  an  artificial 
colt,  a  bay  pacing  filly,  foaled  May  25, 1873.  This  little  filly 
is  one  of  the  best-bred  animals  in  Santa  Clara  County.  She 
is  by  Anteros  Nutwood,  first  dam  Belle  Nutwood,  bv 
Nutwood,  2:18},  second  dam  by  John  Nelson,  third 
dam  a  Kentucky  thoroughbred  mare.  Anteros  Nut- 
wood is  by  Anteros  6020,  son  of  Electioneer,  out  of  Newark 
Belle,  by  Nutwood.  The  day  on  which  this  colt  was  sired 
neither  the  mare  nor  horse  saw  each  other.aud  I  think  it  is  the 
only  colt  in  the  county  that  was  ever  gotten  in  this  way  She 
is  a  perfect  beauty  in  every  respect,  and  has  a  right  to 
fly.  Before  many  more  weeks  she  will  be  on  exhibition  in 
San  Francisco  with  her  mother,  which  is  safe  in  foal  again  in 
the  same  way.  I  served  her  nine  times  last  season  with  the 
horse  and  failed  to  get  her  in  foal;  the  tenth  limeshe  came  in 
I  used  the  artificial  means  and  got  her  in  foal  the  first  time, 
so  it  plainly  shows  that  this  method  is  perfectly  safe. 


The  Woodard  and  Shanklin  sale  of  trotters  took  place  in 
Lexington  last  week.  The  prize  of  the  wees'B  sale  was  Jay 
Hawker,  one  of  the  crack  three-year-olds  of  last  year.  He 
earned  a  record  of  2:14J  in  a  winning  race  agairst  aged 
horses,  and  was  sold  to  W.  T.  Clasley,  of  Lexington,  for 
$8,000.  He  is  by  Jay  Bird,  out  of  Sorrento,  by  Grand  Senti- 
nel. Mr.  Clasley  bought  his  dam  Sorrento  for  $2,000.  Mary 
Mac,  2:18i,  by  Lumps,  dam  by  Lexington  Chief,  that  Monroe 
Salisbury  campaigned  two  years  ago,  winning  a  race  in 
Buffalo,  went  to  George  Scattergood,  the  well-known  Phila- 
delphia horseman,  for  $1,700.  Oneida,  2:17,  by  Florida,  was 
sold  to  the  Macey  Bros.,  of  Versailles,  Ky.,  for  $2,400,  and 
Eagle  Bird,  that  showed  a  good  mile  last  year  as  a  yearlin?, 
fetched  $1,000.  During  the  day  56  animals  sold  for  $31,640, 
an  average  of  $554,  which  was  remarkably  good  compared 
with  other  recent  sales. 

A  horse  belonging  to  Wilbur  Dennison,  of  Clinton,  died 
Sunday,  December  17th.  Mr.  Dennison  bought  the  horse 
thirteen  years  ago,  then  a  fine  bay  and  beautiful,  paying  a 
a  good  sum  for  the  animal.  He  was  five  years  old.  Mr. 
Dennison  made  the  purchase  in  the  spring  and  worked  the 
horse  on  the  farm  through  the  summer,  and  put  him  in  the 
stable  in  early  fall.  He  did  not  use  him  again  until  the  fol- 
lowingspring.  On  hitching  him  to  the  wagon  the  horse  ran, 
breaking  the  wagon  and  doing  considerable  damage,  Mr. 
Dennison  returned  him  to  the  stable,  where  he  has  been  for 
the  last  twelve  years,  until  death  put  an  end  to  his  career. 
Mr.  Dennison  placed  a  large  padlock  on  the  door  and  at  no 
time  unlocked  it,  the  horse  being  fed  and  watered  through 
the  manger.  A  citizen  who  visited  the  place  Sunday  morn- 
ing says  the  animal's  hoof  had  grown  to  about  fifteen  inches 
in  length  and  turned  up  at  the  toes. — Hartford  Times.  Im- 
prisonment for  life  would  hardly  be  punishment  enough  for 
such  a  brute  as  Dennison.  Connecticut  Blue  Laws  should  be 
passed  at  once  to  reach  such  a  villain  and  place  him  where 
he  belongs. 

As  a  sire  of  producing  dams  Mambrino  Patchen  is  as 
much  ahead  of  members  of  his  house  as  Hambletonian  wa9 
ahead  of  all  sires  of  the  Abdallah  strain.  As  the  tables 
show,  the  noted  son  of  Mambrino  Chief  leads  all  sires  of 
producing  dams.  At  the  close  of  the  campaign  of  1892 
sixty-five  of  his  daughters  were  credited  with  eighty-two 
2:30  performers,  which  list  was  increased  in  1893  by  six i 
daughters  and  twenty  performers.  The  figures  may  not  be 
absolutely  correct,  but  they  are  as  nearly  so  as  the  still  in- 
complete records  of  1S93  will  permit.  Alma  Mater  is  prop- 
erly enthroned  at  the  head  of  the  list  of  Mambrino  Patv 
chen's  producing  daughters,  with  eight  performers  credited 
to  her,  which  places  her  close  in  rank  to  Green  Mountain1 
Maid.  The  next  most  prolific  producers  are  Betty  Brown, 
Carrie  Patchen,  Katv  C.  and  Zephyr,  the  dams  of  three  per- 
formers each.  The  best  nick  for  Mambrino  Patchen  mares 
is  the  Wilkes  blood,  This  is  not  a  matter  of  conjecture,  but 
fact,  as  George  Wilkes  sired  thirteen  of  the  performers  it 
the  list,  Red  Wilkes,  ten,  Wilton  four,  Onward  three,  and 
other  sons  of  George  Wilkes  seventeen,  making  a  total  ol 
forty-seven  trotters  and  pacers.

THE  SADDLE. 


Charley  Boots  says  he  has  some  very  good  Brutus  colts 
in  training,  and  he  does  net  appear  to  fear  anything  thus  far 
shown  at  the  local  track. 

E.  Corbigan's  Ten  Broeck  mare,  Connie  B.  (dam  of  En- 
thusiast) has  foaled  a  Riley  colt— the  first  of  the  get  of  the 
famous  son  of  Longfellow. 

King  Lee  is  said  to  be  doing  very  well,  and  it  is  thought 
that  he  will  surely  stand  training  this  year.  He  has  been 
entered  in  a  number  of  States  in  the  West. 

The  poolroom  bill  has  passed  the  Kentucky  Senate  and 
gone  to  the  House.  The  terms  make  bettiDg  on  racecourses 
legal  while  race  meetings  are  in  progress,  but  prohibit  pool- 
rooms.   

Eastern  turfites  now  in  this  city  are  of  the  opinion  that 
James  Howard  will  be  selected  to  succeed  John  Brewster  as 
Secretary  of  the  Washington  Park  Club.  Mr.  Howard  is  an 
old  San  Franciscan.  

Harry  Weaver,  a  full  L  .ner  to  Barney  Schreiber's 
Harry  Lewis,  won  a  six  and  a  half  furlong  race  at  New  Or- 
leans on  the  5th  inst.  in  1:21$,  beating  eight.  Shiloh,  a- 100 
to  1  shot,  won  on  the  same  date.    ' 

Starter  Pettingill  will  not  sign  a  contract  with  the 
turf  congress  this  season.  He  -has  already  signed  contracts 
with  two  of  the  turf  congress  tracks  to  start  for  them  this 
year  at  the  old  price  of  $100  a  day. 

Kingston  has  the  most  remarkable  record  of  any  horse 
that  ever  raced  over  the  American  turf.  Not  only  is  he  the 
second  largest  winner  in  point  of  money,  but  out  of  a  total 
of  129  starts  he  was  unplaced  but  four  times. 

Eugene  Leigh  has  notified  Secretary  Parmer  to  prepare 
fifty  stalls  for  him  at  Cumberland  Park.  He  will  ship  his  en- 
tire string  from  Lexington  about  March  10  to  Nashville, 
where  he  will  begin  his  racing  season  of  1894. 

Wildwood  was  taken  to  West  Berkeley  after  his  win  of 
the  California  Theatre  Stakes  last  Saturday.  The  son  of 
Wildidle  and  Fedora  IV.,  we  understand,  will  be  given  a  let- 
up until  the  Blood  Horse  spring  meeting  opens. 

The  well-known  turfman  Charles  Boyle,  the  Canadian,  has 
bought  The  Firs,  the  stock-breeding  farm  of  W.  H.  Millman 
at  Woodstock,  Ont.  It  is  Mr.  Boyle's  intention  to  devote  his 
attention  to  stock  raising,  beginning  at  the  end  of  the  pres- 
ent racing  season.  

Jockey  F.  Jordan  was  set  down  for  delaying  the  start 
over  half  an  hour  in  the  stake  race  with  Wildwood,  who 
finally  got  away  in  front.  It  showed  that  Jordan  could  get 
the  horse  off  if  he  tried  hard  to  do  so.  "  Foxy  Frank  "  is 
indeed  hard  to  beat  either  at  the  start  or  finish. 

Kingston,  barring  Domino,  is  the  largest  winner  on  the 
American  turf.  In  the  129  times  he  has  faced  the  flag,  115 
times  he  has  either  been  first  or  second,  and  only  four  times 
in  his  whole  career  has  he  finished  unplaced.  This  beats  the 
record  of  any  Horse  that  ever  appeared  on  the  turf. 

The  young  foal  by  imp.  Merriwa,  dam  Belle  W.  (sister  to 
■   May  D.),  by  Wildidle,  is  said  to  be  one  of  the  grandest  suck- 
lings seen  in  many  a  day  in  Santa  Clara  county.     The  young- 
.   est  is  at  Thomas  Fisher's  ranch,  near  Covote,  Cal.     A  full 
[  sister  to  Duke  Stevens  was  foaled  on  the  26th  of  January. 


Saddles  on  racehorses  should  have  rawhide  stirrup-straps. 
Rawhide  is  much  stronger  than  the  leather  generally  used, 
and  these  straps  can  not  be  made  too  strong.  Zenobia  recently 
lost  a  stake  race  because  of  a  stirrup-strap  breaking  in  the 
homestretch,  while  Marigold  undoubtedly  would  have  se- 
cured the  place  in  the  California  Theatre  Stakes  last  Saturday 
but  for  a  similar  accident  occuring. 

How  such  trainers  as  Orville  Appleby  or  "  Doc"  Bob- 
bins, would  win  races  in  India!  A  bookmaker  who  has  just 
come  from  that  country  says  that  each  race  horse  has  four 
rubbers  at  work  at  one  time,  and  that  after  they  get  through 
with  the  animal  a  white  cambric  handkerchief  could  be 
rubbed  over  any  portion  of  the  horse's  anatomy  without  get- 
ting a  speck  of  dirt  on  it.  Coolie  labor  in  India  is  dirt  cheap. 

Regarding  the  boycott,  by  which  the  associated  horse- 
owners  propose  to  restrain  horses  from  running  at  tracks 
which  refused  to  enroll  under  the  banner  of  the  proposed 
new  jockey  club,  and  to  which  the  name  of  Mr.  Pierre  Lor- 
illaad  was  appended,  the  latter  cabled  from  Nice  on  Satur- 
day last  as  follows ;  ''My  name  was  signed  to  the  boycott 
without  authority.     Have  cabled  to  have  it  withdrawn." 


Tostig,  brought  out  to  India  from  England  to  win  the 
Vicerov'sCup  at  Calcutta,  we  see  by  a  recent  Asian,  was  de- 
feated by  the  Australian  gelding  Highborn,  by  Grandmaster 
— Her  Ladyship.  Mr.  C.  Bruce  Lowe,  the  eminent  Austra- 
lian authority  on  the  horse,  who  brought  Clieveden  and  Strom- 
boli  to  this  country,  purchased  Highborn  for  the  Maharajah 
of  Cooch  Behar.  The  Viceroy's  Cup  is  a  mile  and  three  quar- 
ter race  at  weight  for  age,  the  winner  carrying  126  pounds. 
Tostig,  who  ran  second,  won  many  good  races  in  England,  and 
the  Australian  people  feel  very  proud  of  the  victory  of  a 
horse  of  their  breeding  in  this,  the  blue  ribbon  of  India. 
Some  of  the  horses  to  be  sold  by  Mr.  R.  E.  deB.  Lopez  have 
Grandmaster  blood  in  their  veins. 


There  seems  to  have  been  a  serious  misunderstanding  be- 
tween the  officials  of  several  of  the  turf  congress  tracks  in  re- 
gard to  accepting  the  entries  of  Hardy  Durham.  The  result 
of  this  misunderstanding  is  that  all  of  them,  from  Little  Bock 
to  Louisville,  have  agreed  to  accept  the  entries  for  this  season. 


There  is  a  narrow  dry  strip  or  path  in  the  homestretch 
and  other  portions  of  the  track,  and  the  horses  fortunate 
enough  to  get  away  yesterday  and  get  the  path  won  in  four 
out  of  five  cases.  Malcolm  was  the  one  exception.  Had  he 
secured  the  dry  place  he  would,  in  the  vernacular  of  the  turf, 
have  "  won  a  block."        

St.  Saviour  and  imp.  Greenback  were  shipped  to  San 
Jose  Monday.  These  famous  stallions  came  down  from 
Lake  county  late  last  week,  and  were  quartered  at  a  livery 
Btable  back  of  the  Palace  Hotel  for  a  few  days.  The  services 
of  these  horses  are  in  great  demand  this  season.  Their  get  do 
so  well  that  they  speak  volumes  for  their  sires. 

James  R.  Keene  wanted  to  breed  his  four-year-old  filly 
Orchis,  by  Ben  d'Or — Lizzie  Agnes,  to  Iroquois.     The  fee 

*  seemed  to  him  somewhat  high,  as  Orchis  is  a  young,  untried 

'  mare  at  the  stud,  and  so  she  will  be  mated  with  Tournament. 
Orchis  is  sister  in  blood  to  Ormonde,  and  she   should  be  a 

I  grand  Btud  matron  in  course  of  time,  as  she  is  a  beau  iful  in- 

I  dividual  apart  from  ber  blood. 

Preciosa,  one  of  the  most  promising  two-year-olds  in  Cali- 
fornia, died  Monday  at  Bay  District  track  of  congestion  of 
,  the  lungs.  She  was  purchased  last  Christmas  at  the  Baldwin 
,  Bale  by  Mr.  Frank  Ojeda,  the  popular  young  gentleman  from 
I  Guatemala  who  has  been  a  heavy  buyer  at  sales  here  during 
I  the  past  few  months  The  filly  was  entered  in  over  $100,000 
.  worth  of  stakes  at  Chicago,  San  Francisco  and  elsewhere,  and 
|»  so  fast  had  she  shown  in  trials  that  Mr.  Ojeda  would  not  have 
I  taken  $10,000  cash  down  for  her.  Preciosa  was  a  strongly- 
'  built  bay  filly  of  good  size,  by  Gano,  dam  Hermosa,  by  Lex- 
!  ingtor;  second  dam  Althola  (dam  of  Gladiator),  by  imp.  Glen 
'  •  Athol.  She  had  shown  three  furlongs  in  0:37£  over  a  slow 
•  track  with  122  pounds  up.     We  tender  our  sympathy  to  Mr. 

i  i  Ojeda.  

Col.  Sanders  D.  Bruce  announces  in  a  recent    issue 

'of  the  Turf,  Field   and  Farm  that  the  sixth  volume  of  the 

'    American  Stud  Book  will   be  ready  for  distribution  between 

the  middle  and  latter  part  of  this  month.     Nearly  800  pages 

are  now  in  type,  but  breeding  interests  have  increased  to  such 

;  an  extent  that  the  volume  will   include   from  1,000  to  1,200 

I  pages.     It  is  excellent  news  that  Col.  Bruce  intends  for  the 

S  future  to  publish   annually  a  list  of  foals  as  a  supplement  to 

|  the  regular  volume.     The  supplement  will  be  fashioned  after 

the  same  style  as  that  whose  publication  has  just  been  begun 

!  in  England,  containing  the  names  of  mares,  color,  sex  and 

!  aires  of  the  foals.    The  names  of  the  breeding  farms  will  be 

arranged  in  alphabetical  order. 


For  a  speculation  Idalium  would  be  the  best  piece  of  horse- 
flesh ever  purchased  at  an  auction  sale,  for  his  progeny  in 
Australia  are  winning  all  the  races  they  start  in,  while  the 
performances  of  the  progeny  of  his  two  brothers,  Sir  Modred 
and  Cheviot,  have  made  their  names  familiar  to  every  horse- 
man in  the  land.  Idalium  does  not  suffer  in  comparison 
with  either  of  them.     He  is  a  sure  foal-getter. 

The  death  of  Mr.  D.  J.  Bannatyne,  which  occurred  on 
Friday  last,  will  recall  to  many  of  the  older  turfmen  remin- 
iscences of  the  days  when  steeplechases  and  hurdle  races  were 
the  delight  of  the  turf,  and  when  such  riders  as  Hyland,  Midg- 
ley  or  Henry  were  seen  in  the  saddle  riding  Mr.  Binnatyne's 
horses,  the  most  famous  of  which  were  Duffy  and  Milesian. 
Mr.  Bannatyne  was  not  only  an  enthusiastic  owner,  but  was  a 
capable  gentleman  rider.  He  owned  a  small  breeding  farm  in 
New  Jersey.  

William  Livingston  Hammersley,  cousin  of  the  Duch- 
ess of  Manchester,  and  well-known  owner  of  numerous  thor- 
oughbreds, including  Inferno  at  one  time  and  War  Lord  at 
the  time  of  his  death,  died  January  15,  leaving  quite  an 
estate.  In  his  will  he  stipulated  that  a  certain  portion  of  his 
estate  should  be  expended  in  the  maintaining  of  a  bed  in  the 
Roosevelt  Hospital  for  disabled  jockeys. 

Christopher  ("  Kit")  Chinn,  son  of  Col.  Jack  Chinn, 
owns  one  of  the  best-bred  horses  in  the  world  in  Odd  Fellow, 
son  of  Barcaldine  and  Geheimniss.  Barcaldine,  who  was  an 
Irish  horse,  never  met  defeat  during  his  racing  career,  while 
Geheimniss,  the  dam  of  Odd  Fellow,  won  the  Oaks  in  Eng- 
land and  ran  second  to  Dutch  Oven  in  the  St.  Leger,  beating 
the  Derby-winner,  Shotover.  He  will  breed  about  twenty- 
five  mares  to  this  royal  fellow  this  season  in  Kentucky. 

In  telling  of  the  urgent  need  for  additional  subscriptions 
for  the  relief  of  the  unemployed  an  afternoon  contemporary 
says :  "A  notable  and  most  agreeable  voluntary  subscription 
was  that  of  £500  from  James  a  Flood,  who,  at  the  very  start 
of  the  movement,  voluntarily  sent  in  $1,000."  James  L. 
Flood  is  one  of  the  latest  elected  and  most  popular  members 
of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse 
Association.  

A.  W.  Smith,  who  handled  the  flag  at  the  Hamilton  (Ont). 
Jockey  Club's  meetings  last  year,  proposes  to  get  all  the  en- 
joyment he  can  out  of  the  meeting  he  attends  hereafter  from 
the  grand  stand.  This  may  lead  to  the  club's  securing 
"  Jimmy"  McLaughlin,  who  has  been  re-engaged  for  the  O. 
J.  C.  meeting.  A  friend  of  Garrison  is  authority  for  the 
statement  that  the  "  Snapper  "  will  be  an  applicant  for  the 
position,  and  at  Montreal  as  well.  Report  has  it,  too,  that 
John  Brennan,  the  well-known  trainer  of  the  Wellington 
stable,  is  not  averse  to  trying  his  hand  with  the  bunting. 

Hill  &  Biot,  an  alleged  firm  of  bookmakers  that  made 
combinations  in  Henry  Bornemann's  Midwinter  Fair  saloon 
on  Ellis  street,  between  Stockton  and  Powell,  welched  last 
Saturday,  leaving  unpaid  a  number  of  winning  combinations. 
They  left  a  sign  which  read  :  *'  Will  pay  off  Monday  night 
at  7  o'clock."  They  probably  meant  some  other  Monday 
night  in  another  city.  Their  stealings  are  placed  at  $1,000. 
Louis  Newman  had  a  combination  reading  "  100  to  3."  Book- 
maker Joe  Magee  had  a  good  one,  while  "Snow  Duff,"  the 
"  Montana  Plunger "  and  Tom  McKaiffe  all  have  a  swear 
coming.  The  latter  wanted  to  get  even  by  taking  away  the 
blackboard.  

Not  more  than  100  persons  were  present  in  the  afternoon  at 
the  meeting  called.by  the  new  jockey  club  at  New  York  Tues- 
day. A  much  larger  attendance  was  expected.  James  R. 
Keene,  the  president,  reviewed  the  work  thus  far  done  by  the 
organizing  committee.  He  said  racing  rules  would  be  strictly 
enforced  and  forfeitures  carefully  looked  after,  and  every 
person,  whether  an  executive  officer  or  not,  if  he  committed 
an  offense,  would  be  summarily  dealt  with.  In  reply  to  a 
question  by  a  prominent  bookmaker  Keene  said  the  club 
will  not  take  cognizance  of  betting  except  where  an  objection 
or  reversal  of  the  judges'  decision  occurs.  No  reply  has  yet 
been  received  from  the  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club.  The  con- 
ference committees  of  both  clubs  may  meet  later  in  the  week. 

-  An  analysis  of  the  unusually  large  list  of  entries  to  the 
stakes  of  the  Washington  Park  Club,  of  Chicago,  shows  Ed- 
ward Corrigan  to  be  the  largest  nominator,  58  entries  being 
sent  in  by  him.  He  has  4  in  the  Columbus  Handicap,  5  in 
the  Wheeler,  5  in  the  Great  Western,  6  in  the  Oakwood,  6  in 
the  Dearborn  and  9  in  the  Lake  View ;  while  for  the  two- 
year-old  stakes  Corrigan  subscribes  9  for  the  Boulevard,  0  for 
the  Maiden  and  8  for  the  Quickstep.  "Lucky"  Baldwin, 
who  announced  that  he  would  retire  from  the  turf  some  time 
since,  but  lias  evidently  changed  his  mind,  comes  next  with 
32  entries  from  his  Santa  Anita  Stables  He  enters  4  in  the 
Columbus,  a  like  number  in  the  Wheeler,  2  in  the  Great 
Western,  4  in  the  Oakwood.  3  in  the  Boulevard  and  3  in  the 
Dearborn  handicaps,  1  in  the  Sheridan,  6  in  the  Lake  View 
and  5  in  tbe  Quickstep  Stakes,  a  tulal  of  32  Hankins  & 
Jobofton  enter  'll  in  all.  4  each  for  the  Columbia  and 
Wheeler.  3  for  the  Great  Western,  1  for  Oakwood  and  2  for 
the  Dearborn  Handicap,  A  for  the  Boulevard,  I  for  the 
Maiden  and  3  for  tbe  Quickstep  Stakes,  a  total  of  27.  East- 
ern owners  are  represented  by  William  Lakeland  entering 
Sleipner;  the  Messrs.  Keene,  Domino;  G.  Walbaum,  Lamp- 
lighter ;  William  Easton,  Bassetlaw  ;  tbe  Oneck  Stable,  Sir 
Walter  ;  J.  Ruppert,  Ajax  and  others  of  lesser  note. 


That  the  method  adopted  this  year  in  England  by  the 
Messrs.  Weatherby,  of  publishing  a  list  of  barren  mares,  to- 
gether with  the  names  of  the  stallion  by  whom  served,  does 
not  meet  the  approval  of  all,  is  evinced  by  some  press  com- 
ments on  the  subject,  from  which  we  select  the  following  from 
the  Sporting  Mirror  :  "  The  Messrs.  Weatherby,  according 
to  some  accounts,  have  done  an  ill  thing  to  stallion-owners 
by  publishing  in  their  Supplement  to  Vol.  XVII  of  the 
'General  Stud  Book'  a  full  return  of  the  barren  mares  of 
1893,  with  the  names  of  the  covering  stallions  opposite.  Be- 
fore the  plain  facts  were  set  forth  in  such  lucid  style  there 
was  always  an  element  of  mystery  surrounding  the  career  of 
your  expensive  stallion.  His  failures  were  hidden  wilh  a 
large  measure  of  ease,  while  his  successes  were,  of  course, 
noisily  advertised.  But  now  the  owners  of  mares  can  see  at 
a  glance  which  are  the  doubtful  sires  at  the  stud,  and  they 
can  avoid  them  accordingly." 

It  has  been  officially  announced  that  a  three  months'  ses- 
sion of  racing  will  be  inaugurated  at  the  Roby  track  on  Feb- 
ruary 17.  Joe  Swigert,  who  is  well-known  in  Eastern  turf 
circles,  has  been  selected  for  the  position  of  presiding  judge 
and  M.  J.  Farley,  an  attache  of  a  Clark  street  poolroom  in 
Chicago,  will  act  as  secretary  of  tbe  meeting.  The  manage- 
ment of  the  track  is  represented  by  John  Condon  and  George 
V.  Hankins,  who  were  large  stockholders  in  the  Garfield 
Park  track,  and  John  Long,  a  theatrical  manager.  Han- 
kins is  the  president  of  the  new  concern.  It  is  said  that  the 
management  has  a  strong  financial  backing,  and  has 
already  secured  a  subscription  of  §40,000.  The  main  draw- 
back to  the  racing  heretofore  at  Roby  is  said  to  have  been 
the  refusal  of  the  railroad  companies  to  furnish  proper  trans- 
portation facilities,  and  the  final  closing  of  the  track  is  at- 
tributed to  this  cause.  Lately,  however,  the  railroads  have 
agreed  to  assist  the  management,  and  under  these  favorable 
conditions  it  is  possible  that  the.  present  arranged  season  may 
be  extended. 

William  Kays  (Independence,  Or.)  writes  under  date  of 
January  31st :  "Please  find  enclosed  pedigrees  of  horses  I 
bought  and  brought  up  with  me  from  California.  My  horses 
are  at  the  fair  grounds  here.  They  are  in  tine  condition.

The  first  and  probably  the  only  future  book  on  the  Amer- 
ican Derby  that  will  be  made  in  Chicago  was  issued  yester- 
day by  O'Neill,  Eckert  &  Co.,  who,  together  with  Joe 
Ullmann,  made  a  book  on  last  year's  Derby.  John  O'Neill 
arrived  a  week  ago  from  California  to  open  a  book  and  posted 
prices  immediately  after.  Declarations  from  the  Derby 
made  February  1st  were  announced  on  Monday.  Of  the  156 
colts  and  fillies  eligible  only  twenty-SPven  are  quoted  below 
100  to  1.  Odds  ranging  from  100  to  300  to  1  are  laid  against 
eighty-nine  of  the  entries.  Prices  running  from  300  to  1500 
to  1  are  against  the  remaining  fifty.  Three  Eastern  cracks, 
Domino,  Dobbins  and  Senator  Grady,  are  all  held  favorites 
at  10  to  1  each.  Hornpipe  is  listed  at  20  to  1.  Twenty-five 
to  1  each  can  be  had  on  Lucky  Dog,  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  and 
Yo  el  Rev.  Armitage,  imp.  Malt  Byrnes  and  Peter  Ihe 
Great  are  quoted  at  30  to  1,  while  Discount  and  Potentate 
are  at  forties.  Fifty  to  1  rules  against  Atropine.  Cash  Day, 
Dantonj  Hurlingham,  Patrician,  Rolla,  Rightmore,  Spread 
Eagle,  Square  Fellow,  Tilsit,  Tuscarora  and  the  Ayrshire-La 
Grappe  colt.  One  thousand  to  1  are  laid  that  Tenth  Legion, 
Springland,  Rominet,  Narissa,  Minnie  Mack,  Miss  Bettie  S., 
John  M.  Palmer,  Cora  J.,  Fairie  Queen,  Dr.  McAllister  and 
Alcenor  do  not  win.  Against  Shenandoah  Boy  and  Lestrange 
1500  to  1  is  wagered.  The  book  is  of  course  play  to  pay,  and 
prices  are  subject  to  change. 

The  approaching  sale  of  that  lot  of  magnificent  Australian 
thoroughbreds  the  26th  of  this  month  is  the  absorbing  topic 
among  horsemen.  The  most  prominent  men  identified  with 
the  industry  of  breeding  and  developing  thoroughbreds  do  not 
hesitate  to  say  that  there  never  was  such  a  choice  lot  seen 
owned  by  one  man.  The  reputation  earned  by  the  Australians 
in  the  face  of  bitter  opposition  is  now  granted  them  by  all 
liberal-minded  horsemen  who  are  quick  to  recognize  merit  in 
every  form.  The  coal  black  stallion  Idalium  is  a  brother  to 
Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot,  and  individually  is  far  better  than 
the  latter  and  more  substantial  than  the  former.  He  has  a 
head,  neck,  shoulders,  body,  quarters  and  limbs  that  are  hard 
to  excel,  and  his  few  colts  and  fillies  here  are  esteemed  most 
highly  by  their  owners.  Crighlon,  the  race  horse,  will  justify 
all  the  hopes  entertained  for  him  by  his  owner  as  soon  as  the 
track  is  fit  and  the  races  of  sufficient  length.  He  is  royally- 
bred,  having  five  producing  dams  and  a  typical  racehorse 
having  plenty  of  bone  and  well-placed  substance.  He  is  a 
perfect  model  of  symmetry,  and  the  catalogue  tells  of  the 
races  he  has  won.  Candid,  the  handsomest  mare  seen  at  tbe 
Bay  District  Track,  has  other  claims.  She  is  the  best  and 
strongest  bred  one,  and  withal  a  game  race  mare.  Trentola  is 
a  grandson  of  Musket,  out  of  one  of  the  best  matrons  in  Aus- 
tralia. His  bloodlines  make  him,  as  well  as  the  rest  of  the 
stallions,  a  perfect  oolcrow  for  American  bred  mares.  \ar- 
rannabee,  by  Hippocampus,  out  of  Yattenna  (dam  nf  nine 
stake  winners)  will  be  the  sensaiional  performer  of  1894  in 
America,  according  to  the  opinion  of  all  who  have  had  the 
pleasure  of  seeing  her  work.  The  others.  Cliquot,  Empire 
and  Repose,  are  also  first  class  and  sound  as  the  day  they 
were  foaled.    Send  for  a  catalogue  and  then  attend  the  sale

The  nomination  purses  for  2:17  class  pacing  and  the 
free-for-all  pacing  purse,  and  the  two-year-old  for  2:40  pac- 
i  ng  class,  advertised  for  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse 
Breeders  Association  were  the  only  ones  declared  off  for 
lack  of  the  requisite  number  of  entries.  The  additional 
races  advertised,  for  which  entries  will  close  March  1st, 
areas  follows:  Four-year-old,  2:25  class,  pacing,  purse 
$.r)00;  nomination  purse,  pacing,  2:16  class,  purse  $1,000; 
nomination  puree,  pacing,  2:12  class,  purse  $1,000  and 
the  nomination  purse,  pacing,  free-for-all,  purse  $1,000. 
The  conditions  of  which  are  the  same  as  those  advertised 
in  the  programme  as  published  in  this  journal  previous 
to  February  1st.  The  directors  will  arrange  each  tlay's 
racing  so  that  horses  entered  for  these  pacing,  and  in  fact, 
all  trotting  races,  will  not  be  compelled  to  appear 
on  consecutive  days,  i.  e.,  sufficient  time  will  be  given 
to  allow  horses  an  opportunity  of  resting  at  least  a  day 
before  they  appear  again. 

Again  calling  attention  to  the  owpers  of  pacers  to 
these  races  that  arc  added  to  the  programme,  and  the  fact 
that  entric  II  rlusc  Mutrh  1st,  wo  desire  to  see  every 
event  filled  to  overflowing  with  the  names  of  the  beat 
horses  in  California. 


There  are  risks  in  every  business,  and  in  the  breeding 
and  developing  of  trotters  and  pacers  there  are  greater 
risks  than  a  large  number  of  breeders  who  engaged  in 
it  had  any  idea  of  when  they  commenced.  The 
exorbitant  prices  paid  for  famous  trotters  like  Dexter, 
Goldsmith  Maid,  Karus,  Arion  and  Anteeo,  shone  with 
such  refulgency  that  everything  that  could  trot  seemed 
to  reflect  their  brightness,  and  owners  thought  that  the 
association  or  bloodlines  which  connected  their 
trotters  and  pacers  to  these  famous  ones,  made  their  value 
increase.  This  idea  was  a  good  one  when  there  were 
only  a  few  to  come  within  the  pale  of  the  brightness  of 
these  stars.  Their  owners  saw  no  risk  in  asserting  the 
claims  of  their  colts  or  fillies,  and  if  they  could  have  dis- 
posed of  these  youngsters  at  the  prices  they  valued  them, 
there  would  be  fifty  men  in  the  business  where  there  are 
only  five  at  present.  But,  as  the  song  says,  "there  are 
others"  who  engaged  in  the  business  and  took  the  same 
view  of  the  situation.  Of  course,  no  two  of  them  started 
exactly  on  the  same  basis,  for  every  breeder  has  his 
own  idea  of  how  trotters  should  be  bred,  trained  and  de- 
veloped. A  large  majority  thought  that  by  getting  every 
animal  in  their  possession  registered  as  "  standard," 
there  would  be  no  trouble  in  holding  satisfactory  sales 
every  year.  People  would  be  crowding  each  other 
around  the  salesrings  to  purchase,  and  as  the  risks  at- 
tendant upon  training  and  developing  their  trotters  were 
obviated,  a  splendid  yearly  income  was  assured. 

Other  breeders  liked  to  established  a  "type  Of  horses  that 
would  sell,"  and  believed  that  by  getting  for  their  premier 
stallion  a  large-boned,  lofty-headed  horse,  whose  princi- 
pal points  to  attract  attention  as  a  sire  were  his  beauti- 
ful heavy  mane  and  flowing  tail,  he  would  be  running 
no  risk  in  breeding  this  "beauty  "  to  small-boned,  quick, 
trappy-gaited  trotting  mares.  He  would  show  the  world 
that  he  could  hold  sales  every  year  of  trotting  stock  that 
had  style,  color,  action  and  gait;  speed  was  an  undevel- 
oped quality  he  would  leave  all  buyers  to  discover.  He 
could  state,  however,  in  his  catalogues  of  sale  that  "Bred 
as  he  is,  he  ought  to  be  fast."  He  would  take  no 
risk  in  making  such  a  statement. 

Another  breeder  has  made  a  study  of  pedigrees  and 
purchased  animals,  irrespective  of  conformation  or  gait) 
being  confident  from  the  knowledge  he  gleaned  from  the 
books  that  he  was  taking  no  risks  in  breeding  but  was  on 
a  fair  road  to  fortune.  His  motto  was  :  "  If  the  record 
breakers  were  bred  in  certain  lines  I  will,  by  my  ac- 
quired knowledge,  continue  in  presenting  new  candidates 
for  that  inner  circle." 

Besides  these  "  visionary  breeders  "  there  were  many 
others  who  had  "fads"  which  they  followed  n  ith  zeal  and 
determination,  and  were  it  not  for  the  proviso  Dame 
Nature  always  adds  to  every  attempt  to  force  her  from 
the  beaten  path :  "  'Tis  the  unexpected  that  always  hap- 
pens "  the  hundreds  of  "  faddists  "  would  have  all  been 
rich  years  ago. 

The  uncertainty  of  the  business  of  breeding  fast  trot- 
ters is  the  factor  that  keeps  men  interested  in  it.  The 
risks  taken  add  zest  to  their  endeavors  and  the  failures 
make  their  successes  more  appreciated.  The  rapid 
strides  made  in  it  during  the  few  years  previous  to  1893 
were  accelerated  by  the  wonderful  work  done  in  that  year. 
The  introduction  of  the  "  bike,"  the  casting  away  of  all 
hobbles,  the  demand  for  frictionless-gaited  horses  and 
the  rejection  of  those  that  could  not  trot  or  pace  better 
than  2:30,  have  set  our.breeders  to  thinking,  and  a  large 
majority  of  them  who  believed  in  conducting  their  stock 
farms  exclusively  for  the  raising  of  colts  and  fillies  to 
sell  in  the  Eastern  markets,  have  been  brought  to  realize 
that  if  they  want  to  get  paying  prices  for  their  stock, 
they  must  assume  some  risks,  and  the  safest  ones  are  the 
weeding  out  of  all  culls  and  the  training  and  developing 
of  their  colts  and  fillies.  If  they  can  bring  a  number  of 
youngsters  without  records  to  the  salesring  and  show  to 
the  people  assembled  that  the  little  things  can  trot  in 
2:25  easily,  they  will  have  no  trouble  in  getting  the 
prices  they  expect.  Besides  being  endowed  with  form  and 
speed  colts  must  be  bred  right  and  entered  in  all  the 
big  stakes.  Buyers  are  to  be  found  everywhere  for  such 
material,  and  when  the  bargain  is  made  they  are  willing 
to  assume  all  risks. 

The  breeder  who  is  anchored  by  a  fad  around  his  neck 
and  is  afraid  to  risk  shaking  it  off  will,  before  many 
years,  be  out  of  the  business.  The  progressive  breeder 
who  keeps  pace  with  the  times  will  take  this  man's 
broodmares,  select  the  best,  breed  judiciously,  train  as- 
sidiously,  and  in  a  few  years  retire  wealthy,  for  he  was 
not  afraid  to  take  a  little  risk  . 


An  Opportunity  For  Thoroughbred  Owners. 


Here  on  the  western  shore  of  America,  at  the  gate- 
way through  which  the  commerce  of  the  Eastern  and 
Southern  Hemispheres  enter,  there  has  always  been  great 
interest  aroused  whenever  horses  were  landed.  Aus- 
tralia's merits  as  a  home  for  thoroughbreds  and  a  supply 
depot  for  the  whole  world  are  now  recognized  every- 
where, and  the  few  horses  and  broodmares  that  have  been 
brought  here  to  be  placed  on  our  largest  stock  farms 
have  demonstrated  their  superior  worth  when  mated 
with  our  American-bred  stock.  The  fame  of  Sir  Modred, 
Cheviot  and  Darebin  increases,  and  in  the  scramble 
among  breeders  to  get  some  of  the  blood  of  these  sires, 
very  high  prices  have  been  paid  and  all  of  these  pur- 
chasers realize  that  they  got  bargains.  No  money  could 
purchase  one  of  these  sires,  while  their  progeny  sells  at 
higher  prices  every  year.  At  Bancho  del  Paso,  where 
Sir  Jlodred  holds  forth,  dividing  the  honors  with  Salva- 
tor  as  a  sire,  the  choicest  mares  in  the  harem  are  sent 
him,  for  Superintendent  Mackey  knows  by  experience 
that  the  produce  will  be  stake  winners,  and  seekers  after 
stake  winners  are  not  backward  in  paying  high  prices  for 
those  which  they  know  are  far  and  away  above  the  aver- 
age of  all  others  sired  by  the  other  stallions  which  were 
deemed  unapproachable  before  Sir  Modred  came. 

Charles  Reed,  of  Fairview  Stock  Farm,  owns  Cheviot, 
and  while  the  horse  was  only  bred  to  an  ordinary  class 
of  mares  on  this  coast,  before  leaving  for  his  present 
home,  he  proved  his  worth  as  a  sire  through  the  per- 
formances of  his  progeny.  No  money  can  purchase  him, 
and  with  the  class  of  mares  he  will  hereafter  be  mated 
with,  no  other  endorsement  of  his  merits  as  a  sire  will  be 
requisite  when  the  produce  appear  on  the  turf. 

Of  Darebin,  it  is  needless  to  say  that  whenever  mated 
properly  he  sired  stake-winners  of  a  high  order.  Bank- 
ing him  with  Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot,  however,  as  a  pre- 
potent sire  would  hardly  be  fair,  for  with  the  latter  two 
stallions  all  mares  nicked  well,  while  with  him  only 
certain  formed  and  bred  matrons  suited. 

To  further  demonstrate  what  we  have  said,  Mari- 
ner, with  very  limited  opportunities,  sired  Topgallant, 
Martinet  and  Seaside.  While  the  other  Australian  sires 
are,  through  their  progeny,  demonstrating  that  they  will 
achieve  not  only  fame,  but  increase  the  wealth  of  their 
owners.  Of  the  broodmares  that  have  been  brought  here, 
Paloma  (dam  of  Armitage),  Beauty  (dam  of  Dr.  Boss), 
Zara  (dam  of  Huguenot  and  Chartreuse)  are  too  well 
known  to  need  further  mention. 

At  the  Bay  District  track,  on  the  26th  of  this  month, 
an  opportunity  will  be  afforded  breeders  for  securing  a 
full  brother  to  Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot,  the  two  greatest 
sires  that  ever  landed  in  America,  and  that  stallion  is 
the  magnificent  horse  Idalium.  As  a  sire  in  Australia, 
his  opportunities  in  the  stud  were  limited,  he  beiDg  bred 
to  a  number  of  half-bred  mares,  his  owner  refusing  to 
take  public  ones ;  yet  he  got  a  number  of  winners.  He 
was  never  bred  to  a  first-class  mare  while  there.  Since 
landing  here  he  was  bred  to  a  few,  and  the  progeny  are 
considered  equal  to  anything  ever  sired  by  either  Sir  Mo- 
dred or  Cheviot,  or  in  fact  any  sire  in  California.  One 
of  them,  owned  by  W.  O'B.  Macdonough,  cannot  be  pur- 
chased for  any  price. 

Besides  Idalium,  there  are  several  young  and  fashion- 
ably-bred stallions  and  mares,  fitting  representatives  of 
the  greatest  race-winning  families  in  the  Antipodes, 
while  individually,  they  have  been  pronounced  by  com- 
petent judges  to  be  unapproachable  by  any  similar  num- 
ber ever  seen  at  the  track. 


Horses  to  Suit  All. 


The  collection  of  horses,  mares,  colts  and  fillies  bred 
at  the  To  Kalon  Stock  Farm,  which  are  to  be  sold  at 
public  auction  next  Wednesday,  embraces  some  very 
choice  trotters  and  pacees.  Having  the  great  requisites 
for  a  perfect  horse,  viz.,  color,  size,  style,  confor- 
mation, disposition,  gait,  gameness  and  hereditary  sound- 
ness, constantly  in  view,  Mr.  Crabb,  the  owner  of  this 
stock,  was  a  liberal  buyer  and  a  judicious  breeder.  Noth- 
ing was  too  good  for  him  or  too  high-priced,  provided  it 
filled  the  requirements  he  was  constantly  seeking,  and  in 
the  withdrawal  of  this  gentleman  from  the  business,  the 
trotting-horse  interests  of  this  State  will  lose  one  of  its 
staunchest  supporters.  That  the  representatives  of  the 
farm  will  excite  the  admiration  of  all  who  attend  the 
sale  is  admitted  by  those  who  have  visited  the  paddocks 
and  the  race  track  on  the  farm,  and  observed  the  way 
they  were  cared  for  and  the  ease  with  which  they  moved. 
People  who  are  in  ueed  of  fine  roadsters,  stylish,  well- 
matched  teams,  campaigners,  and  fine  broodmares  cannot 
afford  to  miss  this  sale.

Besides  those  from  the  To  Kalon  Farm,  there  are 
some  very  choice  individuals  also  to  be  sold,  among  them 
beino-  Silas  Skinner,  2:17,  and  Blonde  Wilkes,  2.22J-,  and 
a  number  of  splendidly  bred  mares,  colts  and  fillies,  many 
of  them  worthy  of  being  placed  on  the  track  at  once. 
There  are  several  very  well-matched  teams,  one  of  them 
in  particular  is  not  surpassed  for  beauty,  style,  gait,  dis- 
position and  training  by  any  other  in  California.  The 
attendance  at  this  sale  should  be  large.  See  advertise- 
ment for  a  synopsis  of  the  animals  to  be  sold. 


Heavy  Drivers  to  be  Protected. 


Dexter  Prince  Back  at  His   Old  Home  at  Palo 
Alto. 


The  Horseman,  in  its  last  issue,  has  the  following: 
"A  resolution  will  be  offered  at  the  coming  congress  to  abolish  the 
nue  requiring  drivers  to  scale  a  hundred  and  fiftv  pounds  before  and 
alter  each  heat.  When  high-wheeled  sulkies  were  in  use  a  very  light 
driver  was  undoubtedly  an  aid  to  a  horse's  speed,  and,  per  contra, 
a  very  heavy  one  a  detriment.  With  'he  bicycle  sulky,  however- 
twenty  or  thirty  pounds  either  way  ■_  -nes  to  the  horse  hardly  an  ap- 
preciable difference  in  the  load  he  is  called  upon  to  draw.  The  pneu- 
matic tires  and  ball  bearings  have  accomplished  all  the  purposes  of 
the  rule.  There  is,  therefore,  much  to  be  said  in  favor  of  discontinu- 
ing the  operation  ot  this  turf  law,  which  entails  a  lot  ot  trouble  and 
Bometimes  complication.  At  the  conclusion  of  a  heat  the  public, 
always  on  the  tenterhooks  of  expectation,  is  [compelled  to  wait  til[ 
drivers  weigh  in,  whereas,  without  the  formality,  the  news  from  the 
stand  might  be  immediately  announced.  Again,  it  is  the  opinion  of 
meet  experienced  drivers  that  weight  does  not  impede  harness  horses 
as  it  does  those  which  race  under  saddle;  in  fact,  it  takes  a  man  of 
ordinary  weight  to  properly  steady  and  control  the  average  trotter  or 
pacer.  A  very  light  driver  is  consequently  no  advantage  in  the  sulky 
of  the  present  day.  An  embargo  was  never  laid  npon  drivers  as  to 
the  weight  of  their  sulkies.  It  is  little  short  of  ridiculous  to  fix  a 
minimum  weight  for  the  driver  and  allow  him  to  ride  in  a  vehicle 
whatever  number  of  pounds  best  suits  his  fancy.  From  the  Associa- 
tion's point  of  view  the  abolition  of  this  rule  would  be  a  welcome  In- 
novation, for  the  reason  that  its  enforcement  takes  up  much  valuable 
time  without  accomplishing  anything  of  commensurate  advantage. 
Owners,  drivers  and  track  managers  are  all  in  favor  of  its  deletion 
from  the  turf  code.  The  adoption  of  the  resolution  tending  to  this 
end  would  be  in  the  line  of  progress  and  in  the  interests  of  all  con- 
cerned in  harness  racing.  Trotting  races  under  saddle  may  again 
become  the  fashion.  As  the  weight  carried  is  an  important  factor  in 
such  cases,  the  section  relating  to  saddle  performances  shorld  be  al- 
lowed to  stand." 

If  such  a  resolution  passes  the  grand  army  of  heavy- 
weight drivers  in  California  will  "  be  exceeding  glad  and 
clap  their  hands  with  joy  !  "  It  is  mortifying  to  have 
the  presiding  judge  announce  in  stentorian  tones  so  that 
everyone  within  a  quarter  of  a  mile  of  the  wire  can  hear 

the  words :    "  Driver ■  is  sixty-five  pounds   over 

weight."  As  large  men  are  naturally  bashful,  the  her- 
alding of  their  misfortunes,  which  they  cannot  help, 
makes  them  wish  they  could  be  reduced  as  small  as  the 
little  fellows  who  have  to  carry  a  cushion  to  the  weigh- 
ing scales  stuffed  with  sheet  lead. 


Napa  to  the  Front. 


By  reference  to  our  advertising  columns  it  will  be  seen 
that  the  Napa  Agricultural  Association  is  the  first  in  the 
field  with  its  programme.  It  is  designed  after  the  model 
set  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.,  and  its  liberal  features  will 
no  doubt  insure  a  large  list  of  entries.  Every  owner  of 
a  trotter  and  pacer  who  intends  to  go  on  the  California 
circuit  should  make  entries  at  once  for  they  will  close 
March  1st.  Many  who  failed  to  make  entries  for  the  fall 
meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  will  have  an  oppor- 
tunity of  bringing  their  horses  to  Napa  by  sending  in  the 
names  and  filling  out  the  blanks  for  the  Napa  races. 


The  Montana  State  Fair. 


On  Sunday  last  this  now  celebrated  sire  arrived  at  Palo 
Alto,  his  services  having  been  leased  for  the  season  of  1894. 
Dexter  Prince  was  purchased  from  Mr.  Chas.  Backman, 
Stony  Ford,  Orange  County,  N.  Y.,  in  1880,  by  the  lale  Sena- 
tor Stanford,  and  in  the  same  year  was  shipped  to  Palo  Alto, 
along  with  several  Kentucky  Prince  fillies.  In  his  younger 
days  Kentucky  Prince  was  known  as  ''The  Governor"  and 
while  not  attractive  in  appearance  was  possessed  with  a  re- 
markable turn  of  speed  that  caused  all  to  look  on  him  with 
amazement.  It  is  a  well  established  fact  that  he  showed  a 
quarter  when  scarcely  two  years  old  in  31A  seconds  and  an 
eighth  in  14j  seconds,  a  1:56  gait,  to  a  skeleton  wagon,  a  re- 
markable performance  for  a  colt  having  had  but  little  work 
and  six  months  younger  than  the  two-year-old  trotter  of 
August,  1SS1.  He  remained  at  Palo  Alto  until  January 
30tb,  1885,  was  then  sold  to  Mr.  L.  M.  Morse,  Lodi,  Cal., 
later  on  passing  into  the  possession  of  Dan  McCarty.  While 
at  Palo  Alto  he  produced  Del  Paso,  2:24s,  °ow  owned  by 
Miller  &  Sibley,  Meadville,  Penn.,  and  is  highly  thought  of 
as  a  stock  horse.  Dexter  Prince  is  a  bay  stallion,  star,  white 
off  hind  foo*,  foaled  1879,  by  Kentucky  Prince,  son  of  Clark 
Chief,  first  dam  Lady  Dexter,  by  Hambletonian  10;  second 
dam  Clara,  dam  of  Dexter,  Dictator  and  Alma,  by  American 
Star  14;  third  dam  McKinstry  mare,  untraced.  Dexter 
Prince,  for  the  opportunities  he  has  had  in  the  stud,  has 
proven  himself  a  great  sire.  It  did  not  fall  to  his  lot  to  have 
a  fine  selection  of  mares  sent  to  his  harem,  but  by  overwhelm- 
ing power  as  a  producer  of  speed  from  all  sources,  he  has 
forced  recognition  and  will  now  be  given  an  opportunity  lo 
further  prove  his  greatness  as  a  sire  of  speed  by  being  coupled 
with  furty  of  the  great  Electioneer  mares  at  Palo  Alto. 

Dexter  Prince  has  now  twenty-eight  in  the  list  of  2:30  per- 
formers, twelve  of  them  in  the  2:20  list.  Many  of  his  per- 
formers are  from  mares  whose  breeding  is  untraced.  The 
average  speed  of  his  performers  is  2:21,  which  for  the  num- 
ber, twenty-eight,  is  a  remarkable  showing. 

The  breeding  of  Dexter  Princs  warrants  the  fine  showing 
he  has  made  in  the  past  and  with  the  fine  opportunities  now 
offered  him  he  should  take  rank  with  the  great  producers  of 
speed. 

His  sire,  Kentucky  Prince  (sire  of  Guy,  2:09J,  and  twenty- 
seven  trotters  in  the  list),  by  Clark  Chief,  son  of  the  great 
Mambrino  Chief,  dam  Kentucky  Queen  by  Morgan  Eagle, 
son  of  G-reen  Mountain  Morgan,  then  to  the  thoroughbred, 
gives  to  Dexter  Prince  not  only  extreme  speed  inheritance 
through  his  sire,  but  that  great  producing  broodmare  strain 
of  Mambrino  Chief  also.  The  dam  of  Dexter  Prince,  Lady 
Dexter,  is  also  the  dam  of  Prince  George,  sire  of  the  great 
yearling  Prince  Clara,  race  record  2:26i,  and  full  sister  to 
Dexter,  2:17$-,  and  Dictator,  sire  of  Jay  Eye  See,  2:10, 
Director,  2:17,  sire  of  Directum,  2:05$-,  and  Nancy  Lee,  dam 
of  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04. 

Mambrino  Chief,  Hambletonian  and  American  Star,  is  a 
hard  combination  to  beat,  especially  when  these  bloodlines 
are  found  in  a  horse  that  has  speed  and  proved  himself  a  pro- 
ducer of  speed. 

The  following  Electioneer  mares  will  be  bred  to  Dexter 
Prince  this  season : 

Manzanita,  2:16;  Ladywell,  2:16;  Coral.  2:18* ;  Hinda 
Rose,  2:19*  ;  Wildflower,  2:21 ;  Helena,  2:21 ;  Maiden,  2:23  ;

Floweret  (sister  to  Wildflower,  2:21,  Manzanita,  2:16),  dam 
of  Fresa  (2),  2:31 ;  Flower  Girl,  dam  of  Newflower  (3),  2:25| ; 
Lady  Agnes,  sister  to  Ladywell,  2:16  ;  Lilly  Thorn,  dam  Lady 
Thorn,  dam  of  Santa  Claus ;  Madeline,  sister  to  Azmoor,

Marti,  dam  of  Mortemer,  2:27  ;  Jessie  M-,  sister  to  Idle  May,

Santa  Clara  Agricultural  Society. 


The  directors  of  the  Montana  State  Fair,  at  a  recent  meet- 
ing, finally  decided  upon  holding  their  annual  State  Fair  at 
the  usual  time.in  August.  Efforts  will  be  made  by  the  directory 
to  have  the  fair  a  success  in  every  particular.  It  has  been 
hard,  in  some  of  the  previous  years,  to  get  exhibitors  to  do  all 
they  could,  or  perhaps  ougbt  to  do,  so  an  extra  effort  will  be 
made  to  get  them  out  this  year  and  have  a  fine  showing  on 
the  occasion  of  the  twenty-fifth  annual  exhibition  of  the  As- 
sociation. 

The  circuit  race  meeting  will  begin  at  Anaconda,  July  12, 
and  run  fifteen  days,  until  the  2ath.  Butte  will  commence 
August  1st,  and  continue  twenty  days,  ending  August  2-  d. 
Helena  will  open  August  25th,  and  run  to  September  1st,  and 
will  have  a  three  days'  race  meeting,  beginning  July  4th. 
The  programme  will  be  arranged  shortly,  and  the  meeting 
will  be  equal  to  those  of  previous  years.  The  directors  of 
the  State  Fair  regret  very  much  that  they  allowed  the  annual 
(  meeting  to  go  by  last  year,  and  they  will  try  this  year  to 
atone  for  it. 

Besides  the  Montana  horses  that  are  sure  to  be  here,  a 
larger  attendance  than  in  any  previous  year  is  promised  by 
California  and  Oregon  horsemen. 

It  has  been  suggested  that  the  fair  directors  add  a  dog  show 
to  the  other  attractions  this  year.  The  last  one,  about  four 
.  fears  ago,  proved  one  of  the  most  popular  features  of  the  fair, 
i  t  — Independent. 

Boodle,  2:19J,  arrived  at  Salinas  last  Monday  and  his 
agent,  C.  L.  Taylor,  is  more  than  pleased  to  see  the  interest 
taken  in  the  horse  by  all  who  have  seen  him.  Boodle  is 
royally-bred  and  a  race  horse  and  there  is  no  reason  why  he 
thould  not  a  great  sire.  ;  His  colts  and  fillies  around  San  Jose 
ire  pronounced  by  competent  judges  to  be  simply  perfect  in 
'orm,  gait,  speed,  disposition  and  color. 


The  Santa  Clara  Valley  Agricultural  Society  met  yesterday 
afternoon  at  the  office  of  Paul  P.  Austin,  there  being  present 
President  William  Buckley  and  Directors  William  Boots, 
William  Quinn,  T.  W.  Hobson,  J.  W.  Rea  and  R.  D.Fox. 

After  the  readings  of  the  minutes  President  Buckley  asked 
that  action  be  taken  upon  his  resignation,  presented  at  the 
meeting  in  January. 

The  resignation  was  thereupon  accepted  and  William  Quinn 
was  chosen  temporary  chairman. 

Mr.  Buckley  asked  to  be  relieved  from  responsibility  upon 
society  notes  signed  by  him.  The  matter  of  investigating  the 
feasibility  of  such  procedure  was  referred  to  a  committee  con- 
sisting of  Directors  Hobson,  Rea  and  Fox. 

Mr.  Rhea  nominated  Colonel  Philo  Hersey  for  President, 
eulogizing  him  as  a  gentleman  of  great  executive  ability,  a 
typical  horticulturist  and  one  possessing  the  confidence  and 
esteem  of  the  community.  The  nomination  was  seconded  by 
T.  W.  Hobson,  who  indorsed  everything  Mr.  Rea  had  said, 
and  Colonel  Hersey  was  elected  by  acclamation. 

Directors  Rea  and  Hobson  were  appointed  a  committee  10 
inform  Colonel  Hersey  of  his  election  and  to  request  his  at- 
tendance at  the  next  meeting. 

The  matter  of  renewing  insurance  about  to  expire  was  re- 
ferred to  the  Committee  on  Grounds  with  power  to  act. 

C.  F.  Bunch  was  elected  Superintendent  of  Grounds  and 
Track,  with  the  understanding  that  he  will  employ  the  neces- 
sary help. 

It  was  ordered  that  the  price  of  stall  rent  be  reduced  from 
§1 .75  to  $1.25  a  month,  the  reduction  to  date  from  February 
1st;  also  that  those  members  who  have  erected  or  are  occu- 
pyingstalls  under  yearly  contract  have  the  benefit  of  propor- 
tionate reduction. 

The  Secretary  was  instructed  to  prepare  a  form  of  agree- 
ment to  be  entered  into  by  applicants  for  life  membership, 
said  agreements  to  provide  for  the  payment  of  $100,  in  four 
eqiial payments,  the  last  Urbeon  or  before  September  15, 1894, 
the  signing  of  such  agreements  to  confer  no  membership 
privileges  until  the  full  payment  has  been  made. 


A.  A.  Brown,  J.  B.  Carey  and  F.  Linne,  a  committee  rep- 
resenting the  Ancient  Order  of  Foresters,  appeared  before 
the  Board  stating  that  they  desired  to  secure  Agricultural 
Park  for  a  celebration  on  July  4lh. 

It  was  ordered  that  they  be  given  the  use  of  the  park  on 
the  same  terms  as  last  year ;  in  addition  to  the  rental,  the 
order  to  plase  $3000  extra  insurance  upon  the  buildings, 
under  the  direction  of  the  Committee  on  Grounds. 

The  proposition  of  N.  J.  Sweeney  to  pay  off  the  suspen- 
sion of  the  'pacing  stallion  Dave  Benton  at  the  rate  of  50 
cents  on  the  dollar  was  placed  on  file. 

The  following  horses  were  upon  the  application  of  their 
owners  added  to  the  list  of  stallions,  viz  :  T.  W.  Barstow's 
Ante  Ross  Nutwood  and  Cyrus  R. ;  George  B.  McAneny's 
Messenger  Almont;  William  Vioget's  Wild  Boy;  C.  W. 
Green's  Director  H. ;  Martin  Taafe's  Cap  Alto. 

The  secretary  was  instructed  to  notify  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B. 
Association  that  this  society  is  in  hearty  accord  with  it  in 
the  matter  of  the  proposed  organization  of  a  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Association,  but  that  the  San  Jose  meeting  is  held 
too  late  to  make  it  worth  while  to  express  a  preference  re- 
garding the  date  for  a  convention. 

Adjourned  to  meet  at  the  call  of  the  President. — San  Jose

The  Los  G-atos  Races. 


|  |Editor  Breeder  asd  Sportsman:  — Los  Gatos  and 
the  surrounding  country  are  very  much  excited  over  the 
coming  race  meet,  which  takes  place  February  22nd., 
Washington's  Birthday. 

All  the  races  with  one  exception  are  made  up  of  local 
horses  and  the  glory  to  be  derived  from  winning  one  of  these 
events,  is  second  only  to  such  renown  as  is  occasioned  by 
winning  a  classical  event.  Some  of  the  members  take  such 
interest  in  the  events  that  they  go  to  a  great  deal  of  expense 
in  order  to  have  their  horses  in  proper  condition;  the  purses 
hung  up,  are  not  sufiicient  to  more  than  pay  expenses,  but 
then  we  have  the  fun  and  the  glory. 

The  quarter  mile  and  repeat  is  expected  to  attract  a  good- 
sized  field,  and  any  number  of  people  who  have  never  before 
visited  Los  Gatos  on  a  race  day.  This  race  closes  February 
20th,  ano  I  believe  enough  entries  have  already  been  received 
to  warrant  the  race  being  a  certainty. 

The  following  is  the  programme  : 

First  race — Running,  half-mile  dash;  local  horses. 

Sach's  &  Austin's  ch  g  Happy  Jack. 

W.  B.  Rankin's  ch  g  Red  Rock. 

Frank  Jeres'  b  m  Nellie. 

Second  race,  pacing,  mile  heats  2  in  3. 

F.  Burkholder's  b  g  Wait-a-Little. 

W.  B.  Rankin's  b  g  Monte. 

Third  race,  trotting,  mile  heats,  2  in  3. 

R.  C.  Johnson's  br  m  Mystery. 

L.  R.  Todd's  b  g  Mack.  " 

Gish  Bros.'  blk  h  Star  of  the  West. 

Fourth  race — Trotting  and  pacing,  mile  heatE,  2  in  3.

H.  R.  Finley's  b  g  Rowdy. 

J.  Pichon's  br  m  Alma  Mordu.

a  sweepstakes  of  $5  each,  with  $20  added  by  association. 
Catch  weights. 

Entries  for  this  race  close  February  20,  1894.

Australian  Notes. 


Clinker  (by  Splendor  from  Claribel)  carried  116  pounds 
and  won  Tramway  Handicap,  six  furlongs. 


Affiance,  by  Clieveden  (sire  of  Crighton,  to  be  sold  on 
the  26th),  with  113  pounds  up  won  a  mile  in  1:42£. 

Nobleman,  two  years,  by  Australian  Peer  (son  of  Dare- 
bin),  with  109  pounds  up,  won  Juvenile  Stakes  in  a  field  of 
fifteen  starters,  five  furlongs,  in  1:02. 

Mikado  II,  by  Apremont  (sire  of  Repose)  won  the 
Handicap  seeplechase  in  Melbourne,  two  miles,  carrying 
the  thundering  impost  of  190  pounds  in  4:14. 

Splendor  (sire  of  Candid)  is  represented  by  Jeweller.four 
years,  who  won  the  A.  J.  C  Summer  Cup,  one  and  one-half 
miles,  with  131  pounds,  up  in  2:37],  twenty-one  starters. 

Regina,  two  years,  by  Forest  King,  from  Ghinni  Ghinni 
(damof  Crighton),  beat  a  field  of  the  fastest  two-year-olds 
in  Australia  easily  by  five  lengths,  carrying  117  pounds  in 
1:04,  and  is  considered  the  best  two-year-old  in  Australia. 

At  the  Sydney  Tattersall's  Club  meeting,  the  following 
winners  by  Grandmaster  to  be  sold  on  26th  are  recorded: 
Bettina,  by  Grandmaster,  ran  second  for  a  hurdle  race 
earring  145  pounds  and  afterwards  won  a  hurdle  race  with 
133  pounds  up.  Grandwiog  by  Grandmaster  won  steeple- 
chase carrying  165  pounds,  two  and  a  half  miles. 

It  is  evident  that  Australian-bred  thoroughbreds  are  fast 
beatiog  the  English  horses  out  of  the  market.  India  used  to 
be  supplied  from  England  and  now  draws  her  supplies  from 
Australia.  The  same  may  be  said  of  the  Cape  of  Good  Hope, 
and  by  last  mail  we  see  sixteen  racehorses  sent  from  Australia 
to  Mauritius,  another  shipment  to  Singapore,  while  Java  has 
also  secured  a  lot.  Australian  horses  have  been  winning  all 
before  them  in  these  places,  hence  the  demand. 

By  the  last  files  from  Australia  we  get  the  following  at  the 
V.  R.  C.  meeting:  Goldreef  by  Goldsbrough  (sire  of  Mer- 
riwa,  to  be  sold  on  26th),  from  (Jhrysophrase,  won  the  hur- 
dle rice,  value  $1,500,  with  153  pounds  up,  two  miles  in  3:50. 
Ophir  by  Goldsbrough,  from  Sea  Swallow,  won  Welter  handi- 
cap, seven  furlongB  with  143  pounds  up,  in  1:30,  and  also  the 
Pace  Welter  with  13S  pounds  up,  sis  furlongs  in  1:17},  Gold- 
mith,  by  Goldsbrough  from  Lady  Bathurst,  ran  second  in 
Juvenile  stakes,  Melbourne.  Goodwood,  by  Goldsbrough, 
Dolly  Varden,  won  Brighton  Plate  in  Tasmania. 


By  a  dispatch  from  New  York  dated  February  15,  we  see 
that  Dr.  W.  G.  Ross,  who  brought  Ormonde  back  from 
Buenos  Ayres  and  brought  suit  against  W.  O'B.  McDonough 
for  an  alleged  violation  ot  contract  as  the  outcome  of  ihe  trip 
will  soon  become  manager  at  Tattersalls  in  that  city  in  place 
of  William  Easton.

DOINGS  IN  DOG-DOM. 


No  kennel  library  is  complete  without  "Kennel  Secrets," 
by  Ashmont. 

Thirty  courses   were   recently    run   off  in  England  in  two 
hours — rapid  work  that. 

The  American  Field   tells  us  this   week  of  a  hog  that  is 
trained  lo  point  and  retreive. 

Mr.  Joseph   McLatchie  is  arranging  some  very  neat  ken- 
nels at  his  borne  at  1030  Armorv  street. 


Mr.  R.  F.  Martin's  Great  Dane  Olric,  a  well-known  winner 
across  the  pond,  has  been  purchased  by  an  American. 

The  Messrs.  Vicary  lost  four  fox  terrier  brood  bitches  and 
eight  puppies  by  fire  recently.  Two  of  the  best  of  the  Venio 
— Vesuvienne  litter  have  also  died. 


The  Interstate  meeting  at  Newark  Park  on  March  4th 
promises  to  bring  out  a  64-dog  stake.  Entries  close  March 
2d.     There  will  be  an  abundance  of  hares. 


Mr.  Cumraing  Macdona  has  erected  a  momument  in  mem- 
ory of  the  St.  Bernard  dog  Champion  Tell,  the  father  of  the 
rough-coated  St.  Bernards.     He  died  in  1871. 

Mr.  F.  C.  Klein,  the  owner  of  one  of  the  Sally  Brass  II. 
litter,  lately  in  dispute,  is  building  quite  an  extensive  kennel 
and  will  take  a  few  boarders  when  they  are  finished. 


We  did  not  deny  for  an  instant  that  Dick  Swiveler  is  a  dog 
of  great  quality  and  verv  well  ored.  We  simply  denied  the 
statements  contained  in  his  advertisement.  We  will  not  al- 
low the  public  to  be  misled  in  such  matters. 


News  reaches  us  from  the  Islands  that  Mr.  T.  C.  Wills  of 
Pahala,  Kan,  has  bred  his  foxterrier  bitch  Fancy  (Le  Logos 
— Beatrice)  to  his  Blemton  Shiner  (Ch.  Blemton  Rubicon — 
Ch.  Blemton  Brilliant).  This  union  should  produce  good 
results. 

Dr.  Leipnitz,  more  widely  knowD  as  "The  Snake  Doctor," 
diad  last  week.  He  was  the  popular  dog  doctor  of  San 
Francisco  before  the  advent  of  the  veterinarians,  and  for 
twenty  years  past  has  been  very  successful  in  this  line  of 
practice. 

The  first  dog  show  in  Buenos  Ayres  was  recently  held  by 
the  River  Platte  Kennel  Club.  It  was  a  financial  success. 
Foxterriers  had  twenty-six  entries,  pointers  thirteen,  collies 
and  spaniels  ten  each,  bullterriersseven, retrievers  six.  There 
were  103  entries  all  told. 


Mr.  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez's  Australian  greyhound  Waratah 
has  been  matched  against  T.  J.  Cronin's  well-known  bitch 
Dottie  Dimple  for  a  small  stake.  The  match  will  take  place 
at  Newark  on  March  4th.  Both  are  clever  and  considerable 
money  will  doubtless  change  hands  on  the  result. 


J.  J.  Edmonds'  well-known  greyhound  bitch  Valley  Queen 
whelped  on  the  6th  inst.  eight  puppies,  six  dogs,  to  P.  D. 
Nolan's  Dark  Rustic  (Monarch  II. — Mischief).  By  the  way, 
we  stated  last  week  that  Valley  Queen  was  by  Stranger — Lily 
of  Killarney.  It  should  have  read  out  of  Lily,  not  Lily  of 
Killarney. 

For  the  fifth  time  in  the  past  eighteen  months  the  office  of 
pound-roaster  in  Berkeley  has  been  declared  vacant,  and  un- 
less a  civilized  human  being  can  be  found  to  take  the  position 
we  trust  it  will  remain  vacant  for  an  indefinite  period.  There 
are  plenty  of  dog  thieves  about  without  given  a  man  a  license 
to  steal  all  the  dogs  he  wants. 

A  letter  just  received  from  England  says  that  Character, 
winner  of  last  year's  Waterloo  Cup,  is  not  likely  to  run  for 
it  this  year  as  he  is  suflering  from  inflammation  of  the  eyes. 
The  writer  adds  that  Royal  Express  (Royal  Crest's  litter 
brother)  is  fancied  by  several  good  judges  of  the  sport,  and 
bar  accidents  he  will  make  a  good  bid  for  this  year's  blue 
ribbon  of  the  leash.— American  Field, 


Mr.  II.  0.  '  iolcher,  of  the  well-known  firm  of  Clabrough, 
Goleher  &  Co.,  o  tiers  for  sale  a  very  nicely  marked  lemon 
and  white  ticked  pointer  dog  puppy  at  a  bargain.  He  is 
royally  bred,  being  by  the  well-known  Ulenbeigh  out  of  Jill, 
She  by  Duke  of  Vernon — Vera.  For  further  particulars 
call  at  their  store. 

Talk  about  "sending  coals  to  Newcastle,"  the  news  that 
reaches  us  by  our  Eastern  Exchanges  this  week  would  indi- 
cate that  Newcastle  has  bought  the  whole  American  coal 
crop.  Mr.Thos.  Sh'illcock,  of  Birmingham,  England,  has 
purchased  of  Win,  ('.  Keick,  the  St.  Bernard's  Champion, 
Princess  Florence,  Marvel  and  Young  Bute.  The  American 
Field  thinks  that  our  American  breed  bitch  lo  is  now  the 
best  St.  Bernard  bitch  in  America. 


The  Glen  more  Kennels  of  Went  Berkeley,  Cal.  (formerly 
the  Bay  View  Kennels),  shipped  on  Monday  last  per  steamer 
Areata  a  very  line  Irish  setter  bitch  puppy  by  Segax  Tear- 
ewftj— Elcho'fl  Maid  m  W.  p,  Merchant,  Marehfield,  Oregon, 
lay  a  dog  puppy  of  the  same  litter  to  L.  S. 
Finnegan,  Tncoma,  Wash.  These  puppies  are  both  in  the 
pink  of  condition  and  will  prove  both  bench  winners  and  of 
great  merit  afield,  if  there  is  anyt  in  good  blood. 


Mr.  McCracken  has  lost  four  of  his  Buck  S— Bella  T.  litter. 


Mr.  John  Armstrong  has  cabled  home  to  England  for  his 
English  setter  dogs  Rock  of  Undercliffand  Prince  Albert. 

The  U.  S.  field  trials  commenced  on  Monday  last.  Dr. 
Rowe.  W.  W.  Titus  and  Royal  Robinson  were  to  be  jndges. 

Several  of  the  Hempstead  Farm  Kennels  pointers,of  which 
Mr.  Jas.  Mortimer  is  the  manager,  will  run  in  the  trials  at 
Grand  Junction. 

Mr.  Thos.  Higgs  proprietor  of  the  Trippo  Kennels,  West 
Berekley  reports  that  his  last  litter  of  Chesapeake  Bay  pup- 
pies are  doing  splendidly. 

Col.  Ruppert  is  retiring  from  the  fancy  and  most  of  his  St. 
Bernards  are  for  sale.  Mr.  Booth  will  6ever  his  connection 
with  the  Kennel  after  the  New  York  show. 


The  dog-poisoner  has  been  getting  in  his  fiendish  work  at 
Santa  Clara.  During  the  last  few  weeks  Captain  Stenner  has 
lost  by  poisoning  a  St.  Bernard,  a  mastiff,  a  skyterrier  and  a 
P"g-  

A  change  in  the  proposed  premium  list  of  the  Southern 
California  Kennel  Club  Show  is  imperative.  The  addition 
to  rule  VIII  reads,  "  All  prize.';  in  a  given  class  shall  be  awarded 
regardless  of  the  number  of  entries. 

Mr.  C.  D.  Bernheimer  formerly  a  well  known  fox  terrier 
fancier  but  more  lately  a  breeder  of  Great  Danes  will  return 
to  his  former  love.  According  to  the  Forest  and  Stream  it  is 
his  intention  to  secure  a  couple  of  good  dogs  and  about  ten 
bitches  from  the  other  side  of  the  pond. 


We  cannot  but  admire  the  grit  of  the  foxterrier  men. 
Some  one  said  recently  that  he  thought  that  the  winners 
possessed  a  good  deal  of  the  grit  and  stamina  of  their  favor- 
ites. As  will  be  seen  by  the  report  of  the  last  meeting  of  the 
Fox  Terrier  Club,  in  another  column,  they  propose  to  hold  a 
dog  show  on  their  own  responsibility.  Their  money  will 
never  be  allowed  to  accumulate.  Every  dollar  in  the  treasury 
will  be  expended  if  necessary. 

As  an  example  of  the  ignorance  displayed  by  some  of  our 
Kennel  editors  we  quote  the  following  from  a  Kentucky  con- 
temporary: 

"  J.  W.  Tilley  Portsmouth — How  could  I  make  a  smooth 
fox  terrier  carry  his  ears  right  ?" 

"  Answer. — If  you  mean  erect  (Italics  ours)  clipping  will 
probably  have  the  effect,  but  we  would  advise  that  you  allow 
them  to  hang  over,  for  if  you  expect  him  to  go  underground 
it  will  be  a  great  protection."     Practical,  intensely  practical. 

The  judges  at  Boston  will  be :  Miss  A.  H.  Whitney,  St. 
Bernards,  Newfoundlands,  Pugs,  Blenheim,  King  Charles  and 
Prince  Charles  and  Ruby  Spaniels.  Jas.  Mortimer,  Mastiffs, 
Great  Danes,  Bulldogs,  all  Terriers,  Japanese  Spaniels, 
Italian  Greyhounds  ann  Poodles.  Jas.  L.  Anthony,  Pointers. 
Mbj.  J.  M.  Taylor,  English  and  Irish  Setters,  Chesapeake 
Bays  and  Beagles.  John  Davidson,  Gordon  setters,  Blood- 
hounds, Foxhounds,  Deerhounds,  Dachshunde  and  miscel- 
laneous. Jas.  F.  Kirk,  Field,  Cocker,  Clumber  and  Irish 
Water  Spaniels.  R.  D.  Williams,  Russian  Wolfhounds, 
Deerhounds  and  Greyhounds.     John  A.  Long,  Collies. 

The  lamentations  of  the  bench  show  exhibitors  at  the  pros- 
pects of  no  show  are  long  and  loud.  We  cannot  agree  with 
the  opinion  voiced  at  the  last  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Kennel 
Club,  that  a  show  held  this  year  would  not  pay.  The  signs 
of  the  times  all  point  the  other  way.  We  believe  that  there 
would  be  a  much  larger  entry  than  last  year  and  a  better  at- 
tendance (if  it  were  possible  to  hold  a  show),  but  what  is  the 
use  of  lamenting,  if  we  cannot  find  a  suitable  hall,  we  cannot 
hold  a  show,  and  that's  the  end  of  the  matter.  Several  new 
dogs  have  been  purchased  with  the  sole  idea  of  winning  at 
the  P.  K.  C.  Show.  Many  bitches  have  not  been  bred  for  the 
same  reason,  and  by  breaking  up  the  circuit  the  interest  is 
allowed  to  relax,  but  we  must  put  up  with  what  cannot  be 
avoided. 

The  trimming  or  faking  of  fox  terriers  has  had  no  more 
vigorous  denunciator  than  the  well-known  breeder  and  judge, 
Mr.  A.  Maxwell — a  gentleman  who  has  himself  on  more  than 
one  occasion  brought  the  subject  before  the  authorities  at 
Cleveland  Row.  On  the  occasion  of  his  having  recently  been 
invited  to  judge  at  the  forthcoming  Kennel  Club  show,  he 
replied  that  when  making  his  awards  he  should  not  take 
into  consideration  plucking  and  trimming,  but  would  draw 
the  line  when  the  coat  was  palpably  cut,  singed  or  artifically 
hardened.  The  reason  given  by  him  for  this  is  that  he  con- 
siders plucking  is  now  more  universal  than  ever,  and  that  as 
it  has  been  allowed  to  pass  unnoticed,  he  will  not  any  longer 
interest  himself  in  the  matter  so  far  as  his  judging  is  con- 
cerned.— Kennel  Farm  and  Poultry  Yard. 

Mr.  Walters  has  seen  fit  to  put  on  the  cap  that  we  made 
for  California  trainers  in  general.  U  he  wishes  to  defend  his 
position,  the  columns  of  this  paper  are  always  open  to  those 
who  wish  to  use  them.  When  he  chooses  to  address  his 
communication  to  a  paper  that  a  gentleman  need  not  be 
ashamed  to  see  his  name  in,  he  will  receive  the  answer  he 
asks  for.  The  trainers  of  California  have  very  nearly 
brought  Field  Trials  to  their  death  bed  by  their  ignorance  of 
the  first  principles  of  training,  by  their  "grab-all"  methods 
of  dealing  with  their  patrons  and  their  neglect  of  the  dogs 
placed  in  their  hands.  In  our  former  article,  we  stated  that 
Mr.  Walter's  was  the  best  of  the  lot,  but  the  general  remarks 
must  have  gone  home,  to  judge  by  his  reply.  The  success  of 
our  future  trials  depends  almost  entirely  upon  who  will  train 
next  years  entries.     Mr.  Walters  cannot  train  them  all. 

Justice  Willett  was  on  Thursday  called  upon  to  hear  the 
case  of  Charles  Barbier  against  W.  R.  King,  a  suit  for  the 
possession  of  a  St.  Bernard  dog.  A  few  days  ago  the  Pound- 
master  captured  the  dog  and  put  him  in  the  corral  of  the 
condemned.  However,  a  deputy  catcher  saw  the  dog's  good 
qualities,  paid  the  penalty  of  $3  and  took  the  animal  as  his 
own.  The  dog  belonged  to  W.  R.  King,  and  he  searched 
high  and  low  for  his  pet.  Meanwhile  the  depu'.y  dogcatcher 
had  sold  the  St.  Bernard  to  Charles  Barbier  for  $8.  He  at 
once  replevined  his  property,  whereupon  Barbier  sued  him 
for  possession.  The  dog  was  produced  in  evidence  and 
showed  a  decided  longing  for  his  former  master.  Barbier 
vainly  called  him,  but  he  licked  King's  hand  and  wagged  his 
approving  tail.  Justice  Willitt  was  inclined  to  pursue  a 
Solomonic  courre.  The  behavior  of  the  dog  established  the 
defendant's  right  of  ownership,  and  a  decision  to  that  effect 
wss  at  once  rendered. 


The   Fox-Terrier  Club. 


The  most  enthusiastic  body  of  dog  men  on  the  Coast,  if  not 
in  America — the  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club,  held  their  regular 
monthly  meeting  at  the  office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man on  Wednesday  evening  last.  Mr.  Joseph  McLatchie 
presided  in  the  absence  of  President  Baumgartner.  The 
minutes  of  the  last  meeting  were  read  by  Secretary  J.  B. 
Martin  and  were  approved  as  read. 

The  resignation  of  Dr.  Thomas  Bowhill  was  accepted. 

The  club  purchased  the  four  volumes  of  the  Fox  Terrier 
Stud  Book  and  they  can  always  be  found  at  the  club  room. 

It  was  decided  that  the  winners  of  second  prizes  at  Los 
Angeles  may  take  medals  in  place  of  the  Fox  Terrier 
Chronicle,  at  their  option. 

It  was  not  thought  advisable  under  the  present  condition  of 
the  finances  of  the  club  to  entertain  the  proposition  to  bring 
out  a  special  judge  to  judge  fox-terriers. 

It  was  decided  to  establish  a  Produce  stake  for  1S95,  and 
Messrs.  Mitchell,  Debenham  and  Gonzales  were  appointed  a 
committee  of  three  to  draw  up  rules  and  regulations  to 
govern  same. 

The  closing  of  the  entries  to  the  Sweepstakes  was  post- 
poned until  April  10th. 

Messrs.  Martin  and  Gonzales  were  appointed  a  committee 
to  purchase  the  silver  cups  for  the  Los  Angeles  show. 

On  motion  made  by  Mr.  McLatchie,  seconded  by  Mr. 
Debenham,  it  was  decided  that  if  upon  investigation  it- 
proved  feasible,  the  club  vould  hold  a  specialtv  show  in  the 
near  future  in  San  Francisco.  The  Pigeon  society  will  be 
asked  to  co-operate  with  them,  and  possibly  a  show  of  pet 
stock  will  add  attraction  to  the  affair.  One-half  the  proceeds 
of  the  show  to  be  given  to  some  charitable  association  to  be 
hereafter  decided  upon.

now  comes  the  question,  who  will  jude;e? 

The  Columbia  Kennel  Club  of  Portland,  Oregon,  havi 
signified  their  intention  of  holding  a  show  in  May.  Wnj 
not  hold  it  immediately  after  the  show  of  the  Southern

Showing-  Dogs. 


To  make  a  successsul  showing  at  a  bench  show,  a  dog  most  I 
be  at  his  best — in  his   natural  condition.     A  dog  most  be  ' 
neither  too  fat  nor  too  lean.    The  fat  one  looks  too  short  in 
neck  aod  too  short  in  couplings,  and   the  lean   one  loses  in 
symmetry  nearly  as  much  as  the  fat  one. 

Sporting  dogs  show  the  best  when  in  condition  for  hard 
work.  When  the  muscles  are  hardened  the  lines  are  rounded 
out  and  improved.  A  dog  that  is  a  bit  flat  in  ribs  will  stand 
more  fat  than  one  that  is  naturally  full  in  ribs,  but  at  the 
same  time  he  will  not  show  good  loin,  shoulders  and  thighs, 
if  he  has  not  had  sufficient  exercise. 

The  collie  should  have  a  hard  outer  coat  and  soft,  thick 
undercoat.  Many  a  collie's  coat  is  ruined  by  too  much  comb- 
ing and  brushing,  the  combing  pulling  out  the  undercoat  and 
the  brushing  softening  the  outer  coat.  On  the  contrary  the 
spaniel  and  the  setter  cannot  be  brushed  too  much,  unless  one 
uses  a  wire  brash  and  goes  to  the  extreme  of  thinning  the 
coat  by  excessive  use.  In  the  breeds  that  should  have  soft 
coats  there  is  no  method  equal  to  hand-rubbing.  The  hand 
puts  agloss  upon  the  coat  that  no  chamois  skin  will  approach. 

The  fox-terrier  will  not  show  his  character,  his  gameness 
and  natural  activity  unless  he  is  in  good  health  and  spirits. 
Nothing  will  give  him  this  actiyity  but  muscles  hardened  by 
abundant  exercise. 

In  the  large  breeds,  just  sufficient  exercise  must  be  given. 
If  this  is  overdone,  the  second  thighs  will  be  weak  and  the 
dog  will  move  badly  in  the  ring. 

As  most  of  oar  exhibitors  are  novices,  a  few  hints  on  show- 
ing the  dog  in  the  ring  may  not  be  oat  of  place.  There  is  no 
denying  the  fact  that  a  dog  properly  shown  is  a  prize  half 
won.  It  is  not  necessary  to  deceive  a  judge,  and  any  practice 
that  tend  toward  deception  would  be  most  heartily  condemned 
by  this  paper,  but,  on  the  other  hand,  it  is  not  necessary  to 
bring  out  all  of  a  dog's  bad  qualities  and  hide  his  good  ones. 
If  your  dog  is  very  much  in  love  with  you,  and  perfectly  con- 
tented when  with"  you,  he  may  show  to  much  better  advan- 
tage if  led  about  the  ring  by  someone  else.  We  have  in  mind 
a  St.  Bernard  bitch  of  great  character.  We  led  her  into  the 
ring  at  Xew  York  once.  She  was  contented  and  happy, 
walked  around  the  ring  with  a  logey  motion  like  an  old  cow, 
with  ears  down  and  apparently  half  asleep.  We  handed  the 
chain  to  a  friend  and  stepped  out  of  the  ring  and  out  of 
sight.  The  bitch  instantly  pricked  up  her  ears  and  was  all 
life  and  animation,  looking  for  her  master,  and  her  great 
character  and  expression  fairly  shone.  She  won,  possibly  she 
would  have  won,  anyway,  but  to  the  looker-on,  and,  possibly, 
to  the  judge,  she  was  improved  100  per  cent. 

Some  collies  with  great  expression  look  sheepish  in  the  ring 
and  will  not  erect  their  ears,  and  all  of  the  efforts  of  the 
judges  will  not  induce  them  to  show  any  character.  A  little 
piece  of  meal  or  other  delicacy  of  which  the  dog  is  found,  may 
be  hidden  in  the  pocket  or  in  the  palm  of  the  hand  and  the 
dogs  ears  will  be  found  where  they  should  be. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  carry  a  mouse  in  the  pocket  to  liven 
up  a  fox  terrier  or  to  go  to  any  other  such  extreme,  but  legiti- 
mate means  are  not  to  be  condemned. 

By  studying  the  habits  of  yoar  dog,  by  taking  the  pains 
necessary  to  understand  his  whims  and  modes  you  can  make 
him  show  much  better,  than  if  you  simply  walk  into  the  ring 
and  pay  no  attention  to  your  dog  whatever.  An  exhibitor 
should  not  expect  the  judge  to  see  your  dog  as  you  do  when 
he  is  at  your  house.  Ho  must  take  him  as  he  is  in  tb.3  ring 
and  jud»e  accordingly.  The  better  you  make  him  look,  the 
better  your  chances. 

A  fe-v  remarks  on  personal  conduct  in  the  ring  may  seem 
ont  of  place  to  our  readers,  but  in  the  light  of  past  experiences 
we  think  we  are  right  in  speaking  on  this  subject.  For  a  club 
to  elect  anyone  but  a  thoroughly  capable  and  honest  judge 
would  be  suicidal.  We  may  take  it  for  granted  always,  that 
such  is  the  case.  The  ring  however,  is  not  the  place  for  con- 
fidential chats  with  the  judge,  and  if  he  snubs  you  under  such 
circumstances,  you  have  only  yourself  to  blame.  If  the  judge 
Is  an  old  acquaintance  and  yon  have  not  met  him  for  a  long 
time,  the  place  for  congratulations  is  anywhere  outside  of  the 
ring  However  innocent  such  conversations  may  be,  they 
may  look  like  an  attempt  to  bias  judgment,  to  the  looker-on 
and  your  brother  exhibitors. 

If  you  are  given  a  blue  ribbon  do  not  thank  the  judge,  he 
has  done  yon  no  favor,  he  has  simply  put  your  dog  where  he 
thinks  it  belongs.  Noman  can  help  feeling  pleased  that  his 
favorite  has  won,  bat  no  gentleman  will  brag  of  his  winnings 
in  the  presence  of  the  owners  of  other  favorites. 

If  you  are  disappointed  and  don't  get  any  rfbbon,  either 
make  up  your  mind  to  show  a  better  dog  next  time  or  allow 
that  a  judge  is  only  human  and  admit  that  he  has  a  right  to 
his  opinion  and  that  you  have  an  equal  right  to  your  own, 
though  it  might  be  well  to  also  remember  that  he  has  proba- 
bly seen  a  hundred  specimens  to  your  one  and  should  be  the 
better  j  udge. 

English   Fox  Terriers. 

Mr.  Vicary,  the  well-known  fox-terrier  breeder,  writes  to 
the  English  Kennel  Gazette,  as  follows : 

"  The  scale  of  points  adopted  by  the  Fox-terrier  Club 
years  since  is  still  to  the  fore,  and  I  trust  will  never  be 
altered;  the  great  bulk  of  exhibitors  know  what  is  wanted, 
and  are  surely  making  progress.  The  breed  is  popular  all 
the  world  over.  Let  breeders  keep  pegging  away,  bearing  in 
mind  that  the  greatest  po;nt  of  all  in  building  up  a  kennel  is 
only  to  use  the  best  materials,  as  well  as  the  best  bred.  A 
really  ugly,  ill-formed  dog  of  good  breeding  may  get  some 
good  winners,  but  sure  as  fate  his  characteristics  will  come 
out  sooner  or  later  to  create  difficulties  that  might  be  avoided. 
Fnture  as  well  as  immediate  success  is  what  all  breeders  must 
have  an  eye  to,  to  really  advance  the  breed  on  a  sound  basis. 

In  dogs  iyOrsay  still  holds  the  pride  of  place,  having  at 
the  best  fox-terrier  shows  been  continually  placed  over  Vice 
Regal  and  Venio.  About  the  merits  of  the  two  last  named 
there  seems  to  be  a  difference  of  opinion,  as  both  have  in 
turn  been  placed  one  over  the  otber,  Deputy  coming  next  in 
order.  These  are  challenge  class  dogs.  In  open  dogs  those 
whose  names  we  find  well  to  the  front  are  Despoiler,  Vengo, 
Hunton  Justice  and  Charlton  Verdict ;  following  these  are 
8tarden's  Sting,  Charlton  Vincit  and  the  youngster  High 
Spirits,  that  did  so  well  under  Mr.  Redmond  at  Crystal 
Palace  show,  winning  in  the  limit,  novice  and  puppy  classes, 
in  the  former  beating  Charlton  Vincit.  Prisoner  (late  Row- 
ton  Ru3ty),  is  another  young  one  that  seems  to  be  well  up. 
Apology  is  another  that  did  well  at  Craft's  show,  winning  in 
novice  and  puppy  classes,  beating  Prisoner.    Among  the 


bitches  the  best  seemed  to  be  Pamphlet,  Brockenhurst  Dainty 
II.  and  Brockenhurst  Lottery,  and  of  course  the  crack  Vesu- 
vienne,  who  has  not  been  seen  out  much  lately.  In  the  other 
classes  we  find  Lyon's  Sting,  a  consistent  winner,  followed  by 
such  terriers  as  the  young  Vere  de  Vere,  Valteline,  First  Ar- 
rival and  Chulmleigh  Topsey,  also  a  young  one.  Beacon 
Tartress  is  a  terrier  that  has  won  in  pappy  classes  and  limit 
classes  during  the  year.  The  Smew  showed  up  well  in  Craft's 
show,  winning  in  novice  and  puppy  classes  and  second  to 
First  Arrival  in  open  bitches  under  Mr.  Vicary.  These  seem 
to  be  about  the  best  and  most  frequent  winners  and  afford  a 
choice  to  any  one  wishing  to  make  up  a  kennel — if  they  can 
be  bought." 

Bloodhounds. 


ROD- 


Taller  Crick  Fishin. 


A.  letter  in  a  recent  issue  of  the  Chronicle  from  the  pen  of 
T.  J.  Mackey  is  about  as  misleading  an  article  on  dogs  as  one 
reads  in  a  life  time.  We  will  not  question  the  truthfulness 
of  the  gentleman's  wonderful  tales  of  the  sagacity  and  power 
of  scent  of  the  Southern  hounds,  but  it  is  a  self-evident  fact 
that  the  gentleman  in  question  has  not  the  faintest  idea  of 
what  a  bloodhound  is.  In  common  with  scores  of  other 
writers  he  calls  the  Southern  and  Cuban  hounds  that  were 
used  for  tracking  fugitive  slaves — bloodhounds.  It  has  been 
satisfactorily  proven  time  and  time  again,  that  these  hounds 
were  not  bloodhounds  at  all.  No  better  pi-oof  could  be  asked 
than  is  furnished  by  this  same  article.  The  accompanying 
sketch  represents  a  thoroughbred  bloodhound  of  excellent 
type.  The  description  given  by  Mr.  Mackey  describes  an  ani- 
mal different  in  every  particular.  He  says:  "The  blood- 
hound is  a  huge  dog  fully  as  tall  and  massive  in  build  as  the 
Danish  minca  or  mastiff,  frequently  weighing  12-5  pounds. 
The  thoroughbred  mark  of  the  species,  without  which  a  cloud 
is  cast  upon  the  pedigree,  is  a  stone  color,  solid,  without  a 
spot  throughout.  His  jaws  are  deep  and  hanging,  his  fore 
head  somewhat  flattened,  like  that  of  a  Bengal  tiger:  and  his 
ears  rather  short  and  pointed,  their  shape  being  very  much 
like  a  leaf  of  white  oak.  He  was  used  in  Cuba  to  track  fugi- 
tive slaves  and  was  trained  only  to  follow  the  human  trail- 
and  to  attack  when  he  ran  down  the  object  of  his  pursuit." 

The  true  bloodhound  is  another  species  of  animal  alto- 
gether. He  is  fully  one-third  smaller  than  the  animal  de- 
scribed above.  His  skull,  in  place  of  being  flat,  is  remark- 
able for  its  dome.  His  ears,  in  place  of  being  short,  are  ex- 
ceedingly long  and  pendant,  and  in  color  he  is  never  any 
other  color  than  black  and  tan  or  tan.  Contrary  to  the  gen- 
eral impression  the  true  bloodhound  is  not  the  least  ferocious 
and  is  equal  to  any  of  the  hound  family  in  scenting  powers. 
By  many  he  is  thought  to  be  far  superior  in  this  respect.

Duck  and  goose  shooting  continues  quite  fair  in  Washing- 
ton and  Oregon,  bnt  is  nearly  over  in  this  vicinity.  Messrs. 
Bolander  and  Morrison  bagged  50  one  day  last  week  at  the 
Alameda  Club's  grounds.  Twenty-four  of  them  were  mal- 
lards, but  this  is  exceptional  and  the  result  of  baiting  a  pond. 
This  last  blow  brought  us  a  few  more  canvas  back  and  wid- 
geon but  they  will  soon  be  gone  again.

The  four  skin  hunters  convicted  for  killing  deer  out  of  sea- 
son on  the  Cooper  ranch  on  Mad  river  were  fined  $100  each 
yesterday  by  Judge  Hopkins  in  Areata.  W.  J.  Asbill  paid 
his  fine,  and  his  brother,  Pierce,  was  around  town  all  day  try- 
ing to  raise  sufficient  money  to  pay  his,  but  without  success. 
The  other  two  were  taken  to  the  county  jail  to  serve  their 
time  of  one  hundred  days.  Last  evening  Pierce  Asbill  went 
to  jail  as  he  could  not  raise  the  money. — Eureka  Times. 


I've  saw  er  feller  fishin  with  er  forty  dollar  pole, 

Er  rakin  uv  'is  flies  crost  whut  he  called  a  troot  hole. 

But  give  me  fishin  wums  for  bait  an  a  ole  hick'ry  stick 

An  turn  me  loose  fur  mud  cats  on  the  banks  uv  Yeller  crick. 

I  know  it  ain't  so  tony,  so  distaiigy,  ez  dudes  say, 
Ez  thar  fishin  aly  mody,  with  thar  bamboo  rod  so  gay. 
But  when  yer  good  an  hongry  an  wants  yer  vittles  quick. 
Jest  grab  yer  wums  an  hick'ry  pole  an  scoot  far  Yaller  crick. 

Yer  rolls  yer  wum  around  yer  hook  an  pins  'im  th'ongh  and  th'ough 
An  drans  it  in  an  eddy  whar  the  waters  bile  and  stew- 
Putty  soon  ther  cork  goes  sailin  out  er  sight  so  smooth  an  quick  ; 
Thar's  no  foolin,  he's  all  bizness,  the  mad  cat  in  Yaller  crick. 

I  know  'at  many  er  feller'll  jist  turn  up  'is  snoot  an  say, 
'At  ther  mud  cat  ain't  no  beauty— but  then  no  mo'  is  they  ! 
But  he's  juicy  ez  er  apple  an  tender  ez  er  chick. 
An  "is  meat  is  like  ther  lilies  what's  er-bloom  in  Yaller  crick. 

I've  et  ther  "  down  east"  codfish  on  ther  ole  Newfaulan  banks,

The  fishing  at  San  Gregorio  and  Pescador  is  very  good. 

Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  have  too  great  a  variety  of  new 
fishing  tackle  to  descrioe.     Call  and  examine  for  yourself. 


Salmon  trout  fishing  at  Point  Reyes  is  not  very  good  as 
yet.  Of  the  large  number  of  fishermen  at  this  popular  fish- 
ing resort  on  Sunday  last,  onlj  two  were  successful,  and  they 
only  caught  one  each. 


Xo  ardent  angler  will  forget  the  meeting  of  anglers  that 
will  take  place  on  February  20th  at  Parlor  A.,  Palace  Hotel, 
San  Francisco.  The  Committee  on  Fly  Casting  Tournament 
will  report  at  the  meeting,  and  an  angler's  club  will  unques- 
tionably be  formed.  Every  sportsman  angler  in  California 
should  be  present. 

Tandem  Eels. 


An  angling  department  would  not  be  complete  without  an 
occasional  fish  lie. 

The  following  story  of  a  "  remarkable  haul"  of  "  tandem 
eeels"  is  told  with  all  gravity  by  that  usually  veracious  news- 
paper, the  Reading,  Pa.,  Herald:  One  Cosmos  Eckensode 
was  fishing  in  the  Tulpehocken  when  a  migrating  band  of 
these  eels  chanced  to  pass  by.  The  alleged  peculiarity  of 
this  variety  is  that  when  they  are  making  for  their  winter  or 
summer  quarters  they  move  like  the  aborigines  in  single  file, 
at  a  distance  of  exactly  six  inches  apart.  When  any  eel  in 
the  procession  sees  that  his  immediate  predecessor  is  length 
ening  the  space,  it  at  once  darts  forward,  catches  the  other's 
tail  in  his  mouth  and  jerks  it  into  its  legitimate  position. 
When  migrating  these  eels  seldom  stop  to  feed,  bat  as  Cosmos' 
bait  dropped  quickly  in  front  of  one  of  them  it  took  it  in, 
was  hooked  and  Cosmos  gave  his  pole  a  jerk.  The  following 
eel,  true  to  the  "tandem"  instinct,  seized  its  tail  aod  was 
drawn  rapidly  away  from  eel  number  three,  which  also 
obeyed  its  instinct,  and  so  with  all  the  others.  Cosmos  very 
soon  found  that  he  had  caught  a  rope  of  eels,  and,  dropping 
his  pole,  he  hauled  it  in  hand-over-hand,  until  the  ground  all 
around  him  was  a  writhing  mass,  and  he,  completely  ex- 
hausted, was  obliged  to  cut  the  rope.  Then  he  ran  to  the 
nearest  farmhouse  for  assistance  and  from  it  word  was  sent 
to  the  neighbors,  who  hastened  to  the  scene  with  their 
wagons.  The  total  weight  of  the  "tandems"  was  S50  lbs. 
Of  the  big  catch  $50  worth  were  sold  in  Reading  and  the 
balance  were  distributed  among  the  township  farmers. 


Why  Not  "Wait? 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman, — We  presume  that 
in  the  ordinary  affairs  of  life  the  sportsman  conducts  himself 
much  as  other  men  do.  Why  then,  in  matters  connected 
with  his  recreation  should  he  show  himself  a  fool — a  selfish 
fool  ?  If  he  be  a  farmer  he  does  not  send  to  the  butcher  cows 
that  are  about  to  calve,  nor  does  he  kill  the  ewes  just  before 
lambing  time.  He  knows  that  to  do  this  would  be  to  bring 
upon  himself  loss,  that  he  would  lose  two  animals  while  re- 
ceiving the  price  of  but  one.  When  it  comes  to  shooting  and 
fishing,  however,  the  average  man  seems  at  once  bereft  of  in- 
telligence and  foresight.  He  reasons  with  himself  that  the 
game  and  fish  are  something  elusive,  here  to-day  and  there  to- 
morrow, if  one  man  does  not  take  it  another  may.  The 
future  may  look  out  for  itself.  So  he  starts  out  in  tbe  spring 
and  butchers,  or  tries  to  butcher,  the  snipe  and  the  ducks  and 
the  geese  which  are  passing  on  to  northern  breeding  grounds, 
but  many  of  which,  if  undisturbed,  would  stop  with  us  and 
rear  their  broods,  where  they  used  to  in  the  old  days  before 
the  greed  for  blood  had  become  universal  throughout  the 
land.  Each  year  the  killing  goes  on  and  every  year  the 
birds  become  fewer  in  number. 

Every  female  killed  in  the  spring  is  so  much  taken  from 
next  fall's  shooting,  and  in  these  days  when  game  is  so  scarce 
and  good  snooting  so  hard  to  find.it  ought  not  to  be  difficult  to 
make  the  sportsman  realize  that  it  is  for  his  interest  more 
than  for  that  of  any  one  else. 

There  are  some  localities  where  the  fowl  are  more  plenti- 
ful now  than  in  former  years,  but  this  is  because  a  certain 
amount  of  protection  is  afforded  them,  which  caused  birds 
from  other  sources  to  join  with  them,  leaving  their  former 
home  tenantless. 

From  my  own  experience  I  recollect  killing  docks,  snipe, 
etc.,  containing  eggs  three-quarters  the  natural  size,  several 
days  before  the  season  closed  in  the  spring,  and  that  was  suf- 
ficient evidence  that  every  duck  destroyed  stands  for  several 
that  might  live. 

It  is  time  that  spring  shooting  was  abolished  in  every  State 
in  the  Union,  and  time  that  the  sportsmen  of  the  country 
awoke  to  the  importance  of  the  matter,  as  the  birds  are  be- 
coming fewer  and  fewer.  The  old  shooting  resorts  are  giving 
out,  and  there  are  no  new  ones  to  go  to,  for  the  whole  country 
is  covered  with  shooters.  If  we  are  to  have  any  game  left  we 
must  closely  restrict  the  killing,  and  the  most  effective  way  to 
do  that  is  to  cot  off  the  murders  of  the  mother  in  the  spring.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


Geese  are  unusually-  plentiful  at  McGills. 

Messrs.  Carney  and  Bruus  made  a  good  bag  of  quail  and 
duck  at  McGUla  on  Sunday  last. 

The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  shoot  on  the  third  Sunday  of 
each  month  beginning  with  March. 

The  new  shooting  raoge  at  Alameda  near  the  Bay  Farm 
Island  bridge  is  liberally  patronized. 

Messrs.  Casey  and  Walton  bagged  eighteen  quail,  a  cotton 
tail  and  a  number  of  robins  at  Ignacio  on  Sunday. 

The  California  Wing  Shot  Club  will  shoot  on  the  first  Sun- 
day in  each  month  this  season,  beginniug  on  March  4th. 

The  Alameda  Sportsmen's  Club  will  shoot  on  tbe  second 
Saturday  of  each  month  this  season  as  usual,  beginning  in 
March.  

The  trap  shooting  season  opens  next  week  with  the  Gun 
Club  shoot  at  Oakland  Track  on  the  22d  and  the  Country 
Club  shoot  on  the  *J4th. 

Mrs.  L.  J.  Crane,  of  Oakland,  has  made  application  to  join 
the  Pistol  and  Rifle  Club.  She  will  doubtless  be  admitted  at 
the  next  meeting  of  tbe  club. 

Messrs.  Sorrenson  and  Schuster  bagged  ten  gee^e  a,t 
Reclamation  on  Sunday  last,  and  another  party  of  two  se- 
cured nine  at  the  same  place. 

Dr.  F.  P.  Mufle  was  elected  Pxesident  of  the  California 
Schentzen  Club  on  Tuesday  last.  Philo  Jacoby,  who  has 
served  in  that  capacity  for  many  years,  refused  to  accept  the 
position  again.  

On  Sunday  last  the  Colts  Arms  Co.  lost  something  like 
$15,000  worth  of  property  by  fire.  The  patterns  of  the  Gatline 
guns  and  an  immense  stock  of  finished  arms  were  destroyed. 
The  firm  employed  500  workmen. 

Quail  are  still  plentiful  but  tbe  majority  of  those  who  went 
out  for  them  last  Sunday  got  a  good  soaking  and  but  few 
•  quail.     The  crop  should  be  good  next  year  as  the   weather 
has  proved  a  good  protector  this  season. 

The  annual  tournament  of  the  Sportsmen's  Association  of 
the  Northwest  will  take  place  at  Tacoma,  Wash.,  on  June  14, 
15  and  10  next.  There  will  be  $1,500  in  cash  pri;.es.  For 
further  information  address  E.  E.  Ellis,  Secretary  and  Treas- 
urer, Tacoma,  Wash. 

The  Seattle  Rod  and  Gun  Club  held  their  annual  meeting 
on  January  25,  and  elected  the  following  officers  for  the  com- 
ing year:  A.  K.  Churchill,  President  ;  F.  A.  Stimson,  vice- 
PreMdent;  E.  B.  Downing,  Treasurer  ;  F.  W.  Charles,  Sec- 
retary;  J.  N.  Hardy,  Field  Captain. 

Messrs.  P.  W.  Kelley  and  Geo.  Jewel  enjoyed  a  very  pleas- 
ant shoot  on  the  latler's  ranch  on  .Sunday  last.  They  found 
the  lagoons  full  of  small  duck  and  quite  a  number  of  canvas- 
back.  They  bagged  41  and  lost  a  great  many  wounded  birds 
by  not  having  a  good  retriever  with  them. 


The  interest  in  blue  rock  shooting  promises  to  be  greater 
than  ever  this  year.  The  old  reliable  Lincoln  Club  will  be 
on  deck  as  usual  and  their  very  much  alive  competitor,  the 
United  States  Gun  Club,  is  fairly  booming.  Clabrough, 
Golcher  &  Co.'s  shooting  grounds  will  be  well  patronized  this 
season  if  present  indications  prove  correct. 

The  bill  to  prohibit  the  hunting,  coursing  and  shooting  of 
■Dimals  kept  in  confinement,  which  has  been  prepared  by 
Mr.  AJphleDS  Morton,  M:ijor-General  Golds  worthy,  Major 
Jones,  Mr.  McDonald,  Mr.  John  IJurnn,  Mr.  Diamond,  Mr. 
i.  -li.  Morton  and  Mr.  Schwann,  provides  that  persons 
taking  any  part  whatever  in  the  hunting,  coursing  or  shoot- 
ing of  any  animal  which  has  been  kept  in  confinement,. and 
is  released  for  the  purpose  of  such  hunting,  coursing  or 
shooting,  shall  be  liable  to  a  penalty  not  exceeding  £20  for 
each  day  on  which  lie  commits  such  offense.  The  Act  is  not 
to  apply  to  the  shooting  of  any  bird  which  has  been  released 
the  day  when  such  shooting  takes  place.  If  this  Bill 
is  passed,  it  will  not  affect  so-called  tame  stag-hunting,  be- 
<  a  tse  ill?  stags  may  be  released  a  day  cr  two  or  even  longeJ 
before  they  are  hunted;  but  enclosed  rabbit-coursing  will  be 
knocked  on  the  head — a  thing  to  be  devoutly  wished  for.  It 
will  also  be  lie  death  blowtofta  piireon-whooting  to  the 
great  increase  of  inanimate  bird  shooting.  The  concluding 
sentence  in  u  proposed  Act  evidently  refers  to  the  permis- 
sibility of  turning-down  pheasants  the  day  before  a  great 
shoot. — London  Shooting  Times. 


The  new  California  smokeless  powder  manufactured  by  the 
United  States  Smokeless  Powder  Company  of  San  Francisco 
has  been  patented,  and  is  rapidly  nearing  perfection.  Several 
of  our  local  sportsmen  have  tried  the  powder  and  report  very 
favorably  upon  it.  The  component  parts  are  ammonium 
chromate,  pottassium  picrate  and  ammonium  picrate. 

Our  correspondent,  G.  B.  Cheney,  of  Oregon  City,  Oregon, 
is  right  in  his  estimate  of  spring  shooting.  No  more  per- 
nicious habit  was  ever  allowed  by  law.  We  are  pleased  to 
inform  him,  however,  that  the  law  prohibits  it  in  this  State 
and  would  be  still  more  greatly  pleased  if  we  could  add  that 
the  laws  are  rigidly  enforced.  When  venison  is  exposed  for 
sale  openly  on  the  main  street  of  a  town  like  San  Francisco 
and  the  press  are  obliged  to  call  the  attention  of  the  com- 
missioners of  the  fact,  it  is  a  lamentable  state  of  aflairs  in- 
deed. 

One  of  Col.  Boone's  trainers,  Carlo  Thieman,  died  on  Wed- 
nesday last  from  the  effect  of  wounds  received  by  him  from 
the  lion  Parnell  and  others  on  Tuesday  evening.  The  wounds 
were  not  considered  sufficiently  serious  to  cause  death,  but  he 
never  recovered  from  the  shock.  The  lions  attacked  him  dur- 
ing a  brief  period  when  the  electric  lights  were  accidentally 
turned  off.  Col.  Boone,  on  hearing  his  outcry,  grasped  a  lan- 
tern and  an  iron  bar,  and  without  an  instant's  hesitation,  en- 
tered the  cage  and  drove  the  ferocious  beasts  from  their  prey. 

An  old  English  huntsman  being  on  the  point  of  death,  re- 
quested his  master  to  see  a  few  legacies  disposed  of,  and  he 
expressed  his  wishes  in  the  following  characteristic  fashion  : 
— "  TmprimiSf  I  give  to  the  sexton  for  digging  my  grave,  my 
tobacco-box.  Item,  to  the  clerk,  for  two  stave?,  my  gin  bottle 
with  silver  top.  Item,  to  our  sporting  parson,  Dr.  Dasher,  my 
silver-mounted  whip,  with  old  Merrilass  and  her  litter  .of 
puppies  engraved,  for  a  funeral  sermon  (if  he  can  make  one) 
on  the  following  text:  'Foxes  have  holes;'  and  for  my 
gravestone  I  have  prepared  a  few  lines  to  save  the  clerk  the 
trouble:  '  Here  lies  Timothy  Fox,  who  was  unkenneled  at  7 
o'clock,  November  5,  1768,  and  having  availed  himself  of 
many  shifts  through  the  chase,  but  at  last,  not  being  able  to 
get  into  any  hole  or  crevice,  was  run  down  by  Captain 
Death's  bloodhounds--Gout,  Rheumatism,  Dropsy,  Catarrh, 
Asthma  and  Consumption.  " — The  Referee. 


A    Trapper's   Life. 

"There  are  times  in  the  life  of  a  Maine  woods-trapper," 
said  Captain  Barker,  who  is  an  old-time  Maine  woods-trapper 
himself,  "when  he'd  rather  catch  sight  of  his  old  log  camp  in 
the  wilderness  than  run  against  a  gold  mine,  for  the  camp  at 
such  times  can  do  for  him  what  all  the  gold  mines  on  the  face 
of  the  earth  couldn't  do — save  his  life.  If  you  had  ever  tried 
trapping  in  the  Maine  woods  in  the  depth  of  winter,  you 
would  know  what  I  mean.  For  the  sake  of  an  illustration, 
just  imagine  yourself  trapping  there,  say  along  in  the  month 
of  December.  There  is  a  foot  of  snow  on  the  ground.  It 
doesn't  require  much  imagination  to  see  a  foot  of  snow  on  the 
ground  in  the  Maine  woods  in  December.  You  might  multiply 
it  by  three  and  get  nearer  the  truth.  You  have  two  camps, 
aud  if  they  are  fifteen  miles  apart  it  will  be  nolhing^unusual. 
Leading  from  one  of  these  camps  to  the  other  you  have  two 
lines  of  traps,  one  to  the  right  over  the  hardwood  mountains, 
where  there  is  good  ground  for  the  sable  and  fishercat,  and 
the  other  to  the  left  up  a  brook  and  around  a  small  pond, 
where  the  otter  and  beaver  and  mink  work  in  their  various 
ways,  and  then  up  another  brook  valley  to  the  camp. 

"Early  in  the  morning  you  take  your  axe  and  rifle,  your 
bag  of  bait  and  lunch,  and  follow  the  mountain  line  of  traps, 
while  your  partner  takes  the  valley  line,  or  vice  versa,  as  the 
case  may  be,  but  the  result  will  be  the  same.  The  expectation 
and  calculation  is  that  you  are  to  meet  each  other  at  the 
camp  before  dark.  You  go  up  into  the  mountains,  it  begins 
to  snow  about  10  o'clock.  Your  partner  has  no  difficulty  in 
following  the  valley  line,  for  the  creek  shows  the  way,  and 
he  will  get  to  camp  before  dark,  cut  the  wood  for  tbe  night, 
get  it  in,  build  a  fire,  aud  prepare  for  getting  supper,  expect- 
ing to  hear  you  stamping  in  before  long.  But  things  go 
differently  with  you  on  the  mountain  line.  There  is  more 
snow  up  th2re  than  in  the  valley.  The  traveling  is  hard. 
The  traps  need  a  good  deal  of  setting  over  and  fixing,  for  the 
wild  cats  have  been  busy  along  the  line,  robbing  you  of  a 
sable  Mere  and  a  fisher  there,  which  otherwise  would  have 
been  your  well-earned  trophy.  Then  a  fisher,  fast  in  a  trap, 
has  dragged  it  away  in  the  woods,  and  it  takes  you  a  good 
while  to  find  it.  A  light  wind  drives  the  fast  falling  damp 
snow  against  the  trunks  of  the  trees,  and  it  sticks  there,  so 
that  in  a  couple  of  hours  or  so  you  can't  see  the  blaze  marks 
on  them  until  you  have  brushed  off  the  snow. 

"  By  and  by  you  find  a  blazed  tree,  and  then  look  ahead 
and  try  to  make  up  your  mind  which  tree  the  next  blaze  is 
on.  You  pick  out  a  tree  that  you  think  is  the  one  and  brush 
off"  the  snow.  No  blaze  there.  Then  you  go  to  another  tree, 
perhaps  off' to  the  right,  and  brush  again.  No  blaze  there. 
Some  distance  ahead,  off'  to  the  left,  you  see  a  tree.  That 
must  be  a  blazed  tree  surely,  you  think.  Yon  scrape  the  snow 
off" of  that  tree.  No  blaze  there.  Andtheu  you  go  on,  hunt- 
ing here  and  there  for  the  next  blazed  tree,  until  at  last  you 
find  it,  only  to  have  to  repeat  the  proceeding,  perhaps,  before 
you  locate  the  next  one  after  that  one  on  your  course.  All 
this  takes  much  time  and  annihilates  but  little  distance,  and 
almost  before  you  are  are  aware  of  it  darkness  begins  to  fall 
around  you.  You  have  lost  the  line  altogether  now  You 
don't  know  whether  it  is  to  the  right  or  to  the  left  of  you, but 
you  do  know  that  you  are  still  a  long  way  from  camp.  You 
have  a  compass,  but  as  you  don't  know  your  course  it  isof  no 
use  to  you. 

"  By  this  time  yon  have  begun  to  think  that  there  is  a  good 
chance  for  your  having  to  lie  out  on  the  mountain  that  night. 
You  slip  your  hands  into  your  pocket  to  make  sure  that  your 
match  box  is  all  safe,  and  feel  a  little  faint  when  you  fail  to 
find  it.  The  likeliest  explanation  for  its  absence  is  that  it 
slid  out  of  your  pocket  while  you  were  sleeping  in  your  bunk 
last  night.  Never  before  have  you  realized  the  importance 
of  always  being  sure  that  you  have  everything  that  can  possi- 
bly be  necessary  on  a  tramp  when  you  leave  camp. 

''Your  situation  now  can't  be  described  as  a  pleasant  one. 
The  damp  snow  through  the  day,  together  with  the  perspira- 
tion due  to  your  hard  working,  has  wet  your  clothing  through 
and  through.  By  and  by  it  stops  snowing.  The  wind  has 
shifted  around  into  the  northwest  and  is  blowing  a  gale.  The 
snow  comes  piling  down  from  the  trees  upon  you  and  it  hurts, 


for  it  is  frozen.  The  fast  scudding  clouds  look  white  and 
fleecy,  and  you  occasionally  see  a  cold  looking  star  up 
through  them.  The  mercury  is  liable  to  tumble  down  to  2o 
or  30  degrees  below  zero  before  (morning.  It  is  madness  to 
think  of  lying  out.     You  must  get  to  camp  or  die. 

"  You  are  struggling  on  through  the  snow  and  night,  fully 
conscious  of  the  peril  of  your  situation,  when  suddenly  you 
hear  the  distant  report  of  a  rifle.  No  one  who  has  ever  been 
there  knows  how  sweet  the  report  of  a  rifle  can  sound  to  his 
ears  when  plunging  ^aimlessly  about  in  the  darkness,  lost  in 
the  wintry  woods,  and  what  a  change  it  can  make  in  his  feel- 
ings on  the  instant.  If  you  ever  want  to  hear  music  that  is 
sweeter  than  the  swell  of  the  grandest  organ,  let  the  report 
of  a  rifle  come  to  your  ears  under  circumstances  such  as 
these.  At  first  you  find  yourself  rushing  in  the  direction 
from  which  the  sound  came.     Then  you  stop  suddenly. 

The  awful  thought  comes  over  you  that  it  was  not  a  rifle 
shot  you  heard;  that  you  only  imagined  it  to  be  one;  that 
your  nerves  are  forsaking  you;  that  you  are  losing  your  senses 
under  the  strain.  Then  there  is  what  seems  an  age  of  torture, 
but  it  is  really  only  a  moment.  Then  you  hear  the  report 
again.  This  time  you  no  longer  doubt  your  ears  or  your 
senses.  It  is  your  partner,  uneasy  at  your  tardiness  and  fear- 
ing its  cause,  signaling  in  hope  that  you  will  hear.  You 
answer  with  a  shot  and  a  stride  on  for  camp,  knowing  that 
you  are  saved. 

"By  and  by  you  come  out  in  sight  of  the  camp.  Bright 
sparks  are  shooting  up  in  showers  out  of  the  smoke  hole.  It 
is  but  a  rough,  rude  log  hut,  but  no  illuminated  palace  of 
kings  could  awaken  such  joy  within  your  breast  as  that  same 
hut,  with  its  blazing  fire.  The  finest  dinner  that  was  ever 
spread  cou'd  never  taste  as  good  as  the  meal  of  flapjacks, 
venison  and  black  coffee  that  your  partner  has  ready  for  you, 
when  you  knock  the  snow  off  of  you  and  go  in.  And  no 
downy  couch  ever  hrought  such  rest  to  mortal  man  as  that 
bed  of  spruce  boughs  which  the  cabin  floor  will  by  and  by 
bring  to  you. — Portland  Argus.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. — As  was 
announced  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  of  last  Satur- 
day, the  call  for  a  convention  to  organize  the  above-named 
society  has  been  issued ;  the  date  is  March  7th,  7:30  p.  m., 
313  Bush,  street,  San  Francisco. 

As  oftentimes  stated  before,  the  whole  question  hinges  on 
receipts  and  expenditures,  and  should  there  be  a  full  delega- 
tion from  the  associations  and  proprietors  within  the  section 
which  will  naturally  be  embraced,  a  very  few  minutes  will 
suffice  to  settle  that.  The  only  other  point  that  has  elicited 
the  semblance  of  an  argument  adverse  to  organization  is 
whether  the  American  and  National  will  reciprocate  so  far 
as  to  carry  out  the  penalties  inflicted  by  the  new  body.  I 
have  not  the  least  doubt  of  their  co-operation  when  that  is 
necessary  to  purify  the  sport,  and  the  enforcement  of  penal- 
ties for  wrong-doing  be  heartily  enforced.  By  refusing 
to  reciprocate  they  would  lose  ground  in  their  own  dominions, 
as  the  great  body  of  the  people  interested  in  light  harness 
horses  are  well  aware  that  unpunished  rascality  would  bring 
discredit  to  all  who  are  engaged  in  the  pursuit.  Let  some 
one  violate  the  rules  so  grossly  as  to  merit  expulsion  or  sus- 
pension on  a  track  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  new  associa- 
tion, and  Eastern  managers  permit  him  to  transfer  his  exploits 
to  the  other  side  of  the  mouutains,  the  loss  would  be  theirs. 
There  is  no  question  that  whether  the  Eastern  societies  recip- 
rocate or  not,  the  Pacific  will  recognize  punishments  inflicted 
by  members  of  these  bodies.  That  will  be  necessary  to  pro- 
tect against  an  inroad  of  disreputable  drivers  and  managers 
of  horses,  and  if  those  who  have  provod  to  be  unworthy  here 
be  taken  into  the  Eastern  folds,  the  stigma  will  rest  on  those 
who  welcome  them. 

There  was  a  great  deal  of  bitterness  aroused  when  The 
American  was  organized.  Turf  papers  took  sides,  there  were 
personal  antagonisms  and  violent  animosities,  and  yet,  after 
the  roughest  points  were  knocked  off,  the  sharpest  asperities 
smoothened,  repricoc'ty  became  a  watchword.  Nothing  of 
that  iu  the  way  now.  No  warfare.  That  portion  of  the 
families  which  was  stationed  on  the  far-off  verge  became 
strong  enough,  rich  enough  to  doits  own  housekeeping  sim- 
ply desiring  to  furnish  the  house  with  thesamecnnveniences 
as  had  been  in  use,  and  still  in  use  by  tho  old  folk,  and  this 
after  careful  consideration  of  the  obstacles  in  the  way.  The 
old  folks  would  be  entitled  to  little  respect  if  in  reply  to  this 
if  asonable  desire  they  should  return  the  answer.  "You  are 
old|enough  and  strung  enough,  it  is  true,  to  take  care  of  your- 
selves, but  if  you  insist  on  paddling  your  own  canoe,  refuse 
to  return  as  the  same  liberal  royalty  as  you  have  heretofore 
dope,  for  our  enrichment,  the  thieves  you  banish  from  your 
dominions  shall  find  a  secure  refuge  with  us.  If  your  credi- 
tors come  within  our  realms  in  place  of  looking  after  debts 
honestly  incurred  and  aiding  in  their  collection,  ihey  shall  be 
received  with  all  honor,  and  whether  thieves,  swindlers  or 
runaway  debtors,  so  long  as  you  remain  outside  of  one  or 
other  of  the  circles  you  shall  not  be  gratified." 

Let  us  suppose  that  the  plea  of  the  long  distance  from  the 
governing  power  was  'nimical  to  the  welfare  of  the  sport  was 
in  vain,  and  annexation  a  source  of  loss  in  many  ways. 
That  the  parent  institutions  were  now  so  "well-off' that  con- 
tributions from  the  extreme  edge  of  the  circle  were  no 
longer  needed,  an  excess  of  funds  in  both  treasuries,  with 
scarcely  a  chance  for  a  depleted  exchequer  in  the  future. 
That  there  was  a  feeling  of  reverence  for  the  Eastern  associa- 
tions, but  that  there  was  also  a  belief  that  they  were  now 
capable  of  managing  their  own  affairs,  and  that  if  home  rule 
was  found  impracticable  they  conld  return  to  the  fold.  Should 
all  of  these  plans  be  unsuccessful,  and  one  or  both  of  the  trot- 
ting association  decline  to  recognise  penalties  inflicted  and 
refuse  to  collect  from  delinquent  debtors,  who  came  under 
their  authority,  there  would  be  an  outburst  of  indignation  on 
all  sides. 

The  National  might  say  you  are  an  ungrateful  set.  "When 
your  members  of  the  Board  of  Review  have  attended  the 
meetings  their  expenses  have  been  paid  and  that  on  a  liberal 
scale.  That  is  no  small  item  to  offset  memberships,  fines, 
etc,  and  then  they  have  been  given  place  of  honor  in  excess 
of  representation."  Very. well  for  those  whose  business  or  incli- 
nations require  an  Eastern  trip  without  personal  expenditure, 
but  what  benefit  to  the  trotting  cause  follows?  Good  does 
not  always  result  and  in  one  notable  instance,  a  great  deal  of 
harm.  No  good  can  come  from  further  agitation  and  possi- 
bly injury  were  the  case  re-opened  even  so  far  as  to  make  it 
a  topic  of  newspaper  discussion,  though  one  prominent  asso- 
ciation on  this  coast  has  lost  rank  by  what  has  been  done, 
and  years  of  the  utmost  vigilance  will  scarcely  restore  the  full 
confidence  of  the  public  to  the  same  extent  that  it  eDjoyed  be- 
fore the  unfortunate  "  reconsideration  "  was  fully  sanctioned. 
Were  that  one  case  plainly  stated,  its  whole  history  accurate- 
ly portrayed,  it  would  be  a  strong  argument  in  favor  of  home 
rule.  But  I  have  no  desire  to  put  it  on  other  grounds  than 
those  which  cannot  possibly  stir  up  any  ill  feeling. 

There  could  not  be  a  stronger  argument  in  favor  of  the 
Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  than  the  list  of  en- 
tries and  subscribers  to  the  October  meeting  of  the  P.  C. 
T.  H.  B.  A.  Six  hundred  and  sixty-three  to  a  meet- 
ing in  the  same  season  in  which  the  entries  were  made,  and  in 
the  713  all  told,  one  hundred  and  seventy  owners.  The  latter 
is  a  potent  factor  in  estimatiug  the  support  which  will  be 
giveD  to  the  contemplated  association,  and  when  to  these  are 
added  the  number  of  tracks  which  will  be  embraced  in  the 
region  which  is  so  far  away  from  the  nearest  headquarters,  it 
does  appear  that  there  must  be  funds  enough  to  make  a  com- 
mencement. Less  risk  than  that  accepted  by  the  National 
when  twentv-four  years  ago  the  first  move  was  made  to  or- 
ganize. Forty-six  associations  and  proprietors,  the  total 
which  were  represented  and  three  of  these  sent  me  certificates 
unsolicited  to  act  for  them  at  the  convention.  There  were 
fifteen  States  which  appointed  delegates,  New  York  12,  Penn- 
sylvania 7,  Massuchusetts  4,  Connecticut  5,  Iowa  3,  Ken- 
tucky 3,  Illinois,  New  Jersey  and  Vermont  each  2,  Rhode 
Island,  Ohio,  Minnesota,  Missouri  and  Kansas  each  1  dele- 
gate. 

It  will  not  be  out  of  the  way  to  estimate  that  a  goodly 
number  of  states  and  territories  will  be  represented  at  the  con- 
vention and  several  more  members  acquired  than  the  National 
secured  the  first  year  of  its  existence. 


There  is  little  question  that  a  uniform  code  of  laws  will  be 
adopted  by  the  American  and  National,  and  that  will  be  all 
that  is  required  for  the  Pacific.  Should  there  be  minor 
changes  desired  these  can  be  incorporated  in  the  "  published 
conditions."  and  the  other  portions  of  the  "outfit"  will  not 
entail  a  heavy  outlay. 

There  is  one  feature  which  may  interfere  with  sending 
delegates  from  distant  tracks,  that  being  the  belief  that  the 
work  cannot  be  done  for  the  money  which  it  now  costs,  and 
hence  the  outlay  incurred  by  sending  a  delegate  will  be  paid 
without  effecting  the  object. 

In  all  probability  the  P.  C.  T.  fi.  B.  A.  have  paid  a  good 
deal  more  than  any  other  association,  $675,  having  been  sent 
to  the  National  during  the  season  of  1893,  but  apart  from  tbat 
there  are  gcod  reasons  for  the  belief  that  after  "  scaling  that 
down  "  to  an  average  yearly  return, the  present  expense  of  all 
the  societies  will  be  adequate.

The  Huge  Entry  List.— "One  blast  upon  his  bugle  horn 
was  worth  a  thousand  men."  So  sang  the  poet,  and  so  can 
the  trottiDg  enthusiast  shout,  but  on  the  other  side  of  the 
house.  The  list  of  entries  published  in  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  last  Saturday  is  worth  tens  of  thousands  of  dol- 
lars, and  the  ten  multiplied  many  times  over  to  the  trotting 
horse  interests  of  the  country.  It  marks  a  new  era  in  the 
sport,  opens  a  big  rift  in  the  dark  cloud  which  has  saddened 
the  hearts  of  breeders,  and  restored  confidence  in  the  light- 
harness  horse  interests.  Away  on  this  far-off  side  of  the 
country  an  unexampled  array,  for  never  before  to  the  best  of 
my  recollection  has  there  been  as  large  a  number  of  entries 
made  for  a  trotting  meeting  to  be  held  the  same  year  the  en- 
tries were  made,  after  deducting  the  nominations  in  the  Stan- 
ford Stake  for  1896.  Still  with  the  fifty-two  entries  in  that  sub- 
tracted, there  are  663,  an  average  of  24;L  After  cancelling  the 
entries  to  those  which  were  reopened  and  there  is  an  average 
of  27. 

But  still  more  gratifying  than  the  number  of  entries  is  the 
fact  that  nominators  rank  nearly  as  high.  Thus  in  the  trot- 
ting. 2:40  class,  there  are  the  same  number  of  nominators  as 
entries,  thirty-eight  iu  the  2:30,  only  one  less,  in  the 
2:30  class  29  owners  in  thirty,  in  the  2:26,  twenty-six  of 
both,  and  in  the  2:24  twenty-one  of  the  twenty-two  entries 
represent  different  ownership. 

One  of  the  very  notable  features  is  the  2:30  pacing  class. 
In  that  thirty-five  pacers  are  named  with  the  samenumber  of 
owners.  Dexter  Prince  has  three  to  represent  this ''intensely 
trottiog-bred  "  and  great  sire,  and  Steinway  two,  all  the  others 
single  members  of  the  family.  The  three  sons  of  Columbine 
which  I  bred,  Anteeo,  Antevolo  and  Anteroshave  sidewheel- 
ers,  which  are  well  enough  thought  of  to  be  given  a  chance, 
though  I  am  forced  to  admit  that  the  one  that  stands  in  my 
name  is  the  slowest  of  the  trio.  And  in  his  case  an  experi- 
ment is  to  be  tried  which  may  improve  or  have  a  contrary 
effect.  That  is  castration.  He  served  two  mares,  one  of 
which  died  ;  the  other  did  not  get  in  foal,  several  years  ago, 
though  he  was  no  more  troublesome  than  a  gelding  to  drive, 
and  gave  little  indications  of  being  entire  in  any  situation. 
But  the  troubleseemed  to  be  in  his  "picking  up  speed  "  from 
his  action  behind, going  "proppy"  on  one  bind  leg  and  fall- 
ing back  or  breaking.  Every  experiment  failed  to  correct, 
and  that  it  was  not  due  to  weakness  is  evident  from  his  pac- 
ing five  miles  at  an  average  of  2:34,  when  the  fastest  trial  he 
ever  went  was  2:30J,  his  fastest  quarter  36  seconds.  He  draws 
the  testes  up  whenever  started  faster  than  a  jog,  so  that  sup 
port  was  uot  needed,  and  the  presumption  is  that  even  when 
above  the  inguinal  ring  they  were  in  the  way.  As  he  will  be 
niue  years  old  this  spring  it  is  rather  a  late  day  to  perform 
the  operation,  but  is  worth  trying  as  throwing  some  light  on 
a  question  that  has  evolved  a  good  deal  of  argument.  He  is 
a  "  smooth  pacer,"  of  high  form,  aod,  from  his  breeding  and 
other  qualifications,  should  have  "  claims  "  to  a  higher  rate 
of  speed  than  he  has  been  able  to  show  so  far. 

This  long  list  of  pacers  eligible  for  a  2:30  class  tell  how 
rapidly  ihe  pacer  has  grown  in  the  last  few  years,  and  witn 
the  entries  in  the  two-year-old  pacing,  twelve,  and  the  three- 
year-old,  twenty-three,  also  demonstrates  that  colts  now-a- 
days  are  allowed  to  choose  whether  "  lateral "  or  "diagonal  " 
movement  shall  be  their  method  of  progression. 

There  are  109  entries  in  the  various  pacing  classes  an  aver- 
age of  13,  and  as  three  of  these  were  re-opened  and  a  2:12 
class  added,  in  all  probability  when  the  programme  is  fully 
made  up  the  pacing  brigade  will  play  an  important  part  in 
the  meeting.  Important  in  every  sense.  There  is  no  ques- 
tioning the  fact  that  pacing  races  are  almost  sure  to  give 
plenty  of  room  for  guessing,  and  though  the  feeling  has  pre- 
vailed that  pacing  held  the  same  rank  in  harness  sports  as 
steeplechasing  does  on  the  turf  the  number  engaged  is  an  as- 
surance that  henceforth  that  objection  will  not  be  sustained. 

As  to  the  reopening  of  the  purses  which  had  only  a  limited 
number  of  entries  an  explanation  may  be  required.  With 
seven  in  the  four-year-old  pacing,  that  was  $1,000  and  the 
small  entrance  required  would  lead  to  quite  a  deficiency  in 
any  case,  in  all  probability  a  big  loss.  The  amount  reduced 
to  $500,  if  even  there  are  only  the  same  number  of  entries 
the  shortage  will  also  be  a  moiety.  With  six*,  subscribers  iu 
the  free-for-all  pacing  and  $2,000  up  that  was  still  more  em- 
barassing,  and  2:17  pacing  had  only  four  named.  By  chang- 
ing that  to  2:16  and  leaving  the  purse  the  same  no  fault  can 
reosonably  be  found.  The  free-for-all  reduced  to  $1,000,  and 
a  2:12  class  pacing  for  the  same  amount  of  purse  should  se- 
cure the  approbation  of  owners  of  both  classes. 

From  the  names  of  the  subscribers  to  the  free-for-all  a  part 
of  the  entries  will  be  eligible  for  both  classes  and  should  both 
fill,  with  horses  in  both,  the  dates  can  beset  so  as  to  give 
ample  time  between  the  two  events. 

If  more  were  required  to  justify  jubilation  than  the  mere 
presentation  of  the  list  there  are  plenty  of  ground.  Twenty- 
three  subscribers  to  the  2:20  class  trotting  ;  eighteen  to  the 
2:17  class  and  nine  for  the  free-for-all  are  abundant  proofs 
that  all  of  our  best  California  horses  will  not  depend  on  the 
East  for  battle  fields.  Twenty  years  ago  there  was  only  one 
California-bred  horse  which  had  a  record  as  fast  as  twenty, 
and  after  making  due  allowance  tor  the  benefits  to  celerity 
that  have  come  with  the  bike  it  is  a  wondertul  evidence  of 
progression. 

Thirty-eight  in  the  free-for-all  two-year-olds,  trotting,  and 
twenty-six  in  the  same  division  for  three-year-olds  is  an  extra 
gratification  to  those  who  have  advocated  the  claims  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  as  par  excellence  the  breeding  ground  and 
nursery  for  fast  trotters.  Some  rattling  yearlings  showed  last 
year,  and  it  was  well  known  tbat  these  would  be  met,  and 
two-year-olds  of  '93  were  "away  up."  This  did  not  deter 
people  from  entering  the  lists,  and  is  substantial  proof  that 
there  are  many  promising  colts  on  "  the  slope." 


There  is  another  lesson  which  the  framers  of  programmes 
can  study  with  advantage  that  being  that  liberal  conditions 
will  ensure  bountiful  support.  There  is  little  fear  of  the  bill 
for  the  summer  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  being  below 
the  mark  in  that  respect.  In  all  probability  the  entries  to 
that  will  close  before  the  other  meetings  of  the  main  Pacific 
Coast  circuit,  and  while  it  cannot  be  expected  to  reach  the 
high  gauge  of  that  which  has  closed,  there  will  surely  be  a 
grand  showing  of  light  harness  horses.

Wallace's  Monthly.— The  suspension  of  the  magazine 
which  for  nearly  twenty  years  has  borne  the  above  title  is  a 
misfortune,  doubtless  caused  by  the  "hard  times."  The  great 
fall  in  prices  of  light  harness  horses  has  had  a  depressing  ef- 
fect on  breeders  and  the  only  relief  or  possible  ameliorations 
for  a  time  at  least,  is  through  practicing  strict  economy. 

The  hope  shared  by  everyone  is  that  the  suspension  will  be 
temporary  and  that  with  a  return  of  "  good  times  "  there  will 
be  resumption.  In  commenting  upon  the  occurrence  some  of 
the  "horse  papers"  have  cast  slurs  upon  the  management 
since  it  was  purchased  by  the  A.  T.  R.  A.,  which  are  entirely 
unwarranted. 

_  It  may  appear  the  height  of  absurdity  to  claim  that  a  ficti- 
tious value  given  to  the  standard  was  the  main  cause,  and 
the  Monthly  from  the  time  the  Standard  was  adopted,  until 
the  6ale  bv  its  founder,  had  more  to  do  with  that  erroneous 
valuation  than  all  the  papers  of  the  country  combined. 

It  was  the  tulip  mania,  the  merus  multicalius  craze,  the 
rohay  potato  infatuation  repeated,  and  that  in  a  form  which 
ran  for  a  far  greater  length  of  time  than  all  of  those  named 
which  were  comparatively  ephemeral. 

It  put  the  production  of  the  highest  type  of  fast  trotters  a 
long  way  off  from  where  it  should  have  reached  had  it  not 
been  that  it  gave  national  significance  to  what  was,  before  its 
apotheosis,  individual  belief.  Previous  to  that  Mr.  Wallace 
had  prepared  the  way  for  the  demoralization.  His  intense 
antipathy  to  thoroughbred  blood  in  fast  trotters  had  grown 
and  developed  into  a  consuming  passion,  and,  with  all  the 
ardor  of  a  powerful  mind  directed  on  one  object,  be  fought  so 
fiercely  and  vigorously  that  he  carried  conviction  to  very 
many  people  wherever  his  magazine  was  read.  Incompre- 
hensible on  general  grounds  of  reaeooing. 

Had  the  same  influence  been  exerted  by  personal  efforts; 
had  he  lectured  and  talked  in  place  of  writing,  it  could  have 
been  ascribedto  hypnotism,  a  magnetic  control  of  the  strong 
when  exerted  on  those  of  weaker  nerve.  If  hypnotism,  that 
mysterious  influence  pervaded  the  printed  sheets,  as  numbers 
of  men  who  had  never  seen  Mr.  Wallace  were  as  completely 
under  his  control  as  ever  follower  of  Me>mer  was  subjected  to 
the  master,  during  the  periods  that  every  thought,  ever  action 
was  in  accordance  with  the  dominating  wiJI. 

Marvellous  though  it  may  appear,  I  could  name  instance 
after  instance  where  the  only  explanation  of  such  an  abject 
compliance  with  the  views  of  another,  such  a  blind  following 
of  a  course  that  was  mapped  by  a  pilot  who  had  no  practical 
knowledge  of  the  ocean  he  sketched  could  only  be  due  to  a 
sublime  faith  in  the  infallibility  of  their  prophet.  Never  a 
man  who  held  such  despotic  sway  in  the  horse  world  as  John 
H.  Wallace.  A  Mahomet  in  his  sphere  aod  from  the  time 
he  published  a  (ew  pages  of  trot  ting-horse  pedigrees 
as  an  annex  to  a  stud  book,  or  not  long  thereafter,  it  was  a 
victorious  march  without  a  hegira  or  the  semblance  of  de- 
feat. What  if  he  did  rule  with  a  sceptre  of  Eteel,  a  war-clnb 
of  such  ponderosity  as  to  carry  fear  and  trembling  even 
among  the  ranks  of  his  friends.  Whether  from  a  natural 
bent  to  bear  down  opposition  by  a  crushing  force,  the  con- 
tinued assistance  of  Dame  Fortune,  or  the  result  of  a  preter- 
naturally  acute  judgment  the  effect  was  the  same.  A  stroke 
of  genius,  the  manifestation  of  unbounded  wisdom,  or  a  series 
of  lucky  adventures  everyone  of  which  was  successful.  The 
blind  dam  never  forsook  him,  once  he  became  so  firmly  es- 
tablished in  her  favor,  from  first  to  last  she  was  |his  constant 
friend.  Had  she  put  a  single  wrinkle  in  her  forehead  on  one 
occasion  the  whole  run  of  wonderfully  good  luck  would  have 
been  lost  on  the  single  turn  of  the  last  card.  That  was  in 
Chicago,  nearly  three  years  ago,  at  the  meeting  of  the  con- 
vention which  resulted  in  the  establishment  of  the  A.  T.  R. 
A.  The  arbitrators  had  made  their  report,  $135,000  for  "the 
plant  "  including  the  assets,  among  which  some  $12,000  in 
cash.  I  am  quoting  from  memery  and  will  not  vouch  for 
the  accuracy  of  the  figures,  though  feeling  quite  confident 
that  they  are  not  far  from  being  correct.  But  of  what  fol- 
lowed there  is  a  vivid  remembrance.  Mr.  Wallace  jumped 
upon  a  chair  and  announced  that  he  would  not  accept,  that 
he  was  not  selling  ready  cash  and. left  the  room.  I  followed 
him,  accompanied  by  Governor  Colman,  and  urged  him  to 
return,  that  in  a  very  few  minutes  it  would  be  too  late.  ''  I 
do  not  care,"  was  his  reply,  "it  is  worth  a  great  deal  more 
money."  But  you  will  not  leave  Mr.  S.  in  such  an  equivocal 
position  as  your  action  places  him  in,  was  our  answer,  as  it 
was  evident  that  to  argue  tbat  the  price  was  adequate  would 
have  made  him  more  stubborn  in  his  opposition,  and  to  his 
credit  be  it  said  that  friendship  swayed  him  when  the  large 
amount  offered  would  have  been  rejected.  Had  he  persevered 
iu  his  refusal  the  plant  would  not  have  been  worth  ten  per 
cent  of  the  sum  it  brought. 

I  felt  very  anxious  that  he  should  accept.  The  long  war- 
fare between  us  had  come  to  an  end  some  years  previous,  and 
feeling  that  this  was  the  culminating  point  in  his  life,  that 
when  verging  on  "three  score  years  and  ten,"  he  had  the  op- 
portunity of  retiring  divested  of  all  pecuniary  troubles,  while 
on  the  other  hand,  there  was  a  certainty  of  never  being 
awarded  a  like  chance  again. 

For  two  more  years  the  standard  was  on  top.  People  still 
crowded  and  tumbled  over  each  other  to  get  inside  the  sacred 
enclosure,  where  they  would  be  under  the  protection  of  the 
big  idol.  Mild  perjury  was  thought  to  be  justified,  when  the 
aim  was  a  ticket  which  would  pass  prevaricators  inside  the 
gate.  The  drop  was  sudden.  Idol,  pedestal  and  all  went  down 
withacrasb,  and  in  place  of  the  image  which  was  deftly 
carved  being  broken,  the  golden  calf  proved  to  be  lead  on 
the  surface,  clay  in  the  interior. 

Quite  true  that  under  the  new  management  the  Monthly 
discussed  all  sides  of  the  breeding  problem  with  equal  tem- 
per, with  alike  justice  to  all  shades  of  belief.  Quite  true  that 
in  place  of,  if  you  do  not  believe  as  I  do  "  you  are  a  liar  and  a 
horsethief,"  a  difference  of  opinion  did  not  entail  abuse.  In 
lieu  of  that  being  detrimental,  it  was  beneficial,  and  without 
being  in  a  position  to  have  any  knowledge  of  the  cause  of 
suspension,  I  suppose  that  diminished  receipts  from  all  de- 
partments of  the  business  led  to  cutting  off  that  portion 
which  would  cause  the  least  trouble.  Register  ind  Year- 
Books,  especially  the  last  named,  could  not  be  disconlmu

though  I  believe  that  a  quadrennial  register  would  answer 
everv  purpose  the  same  as  the  English  Stud  Book  provides 
for  English  thoroughbred  pedigrees.  Year-Books  like  racing 
calendars  cannot  be  delayed,  and  again  it  is  my  opinion 
that  quarterly,  or  at  least  semi-annual  isei-es  of  the  trottmg 
reports  would  be  more  acceptable  from  every  point  of  view. 
Form  and  performances  will  be  tue  guide  in  the  hereafter,

Already  EhdOBSBD— The  Napa  Agricultural  Associa- 
tion, as  will  be  learned  from  the  advertisement  in  the  paper 
of  this  week,  has  followed  the  same  general  plan  as  that 
which  proved  so  successful  in  the  case  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B. 
A.  Should  any  detrimental  features  be  shown  by  the  full 
working  of  the  scheme,  or  at  least  enough  drawbacks  to  nul- 
lify the  advantages  1  shall  be  greatly  surprised.  It  has  been 
followed  on  the  American  turf  for  a  long  period  and  the 
trouble  in  collecting  delinquent  forfeits  has  been  the  only 
objection.  That  is  not  paralleled  in  tha  lately  introduced 
trotting  scheme.  The  conditions  of  the  stake  embraced  in 
the  programme  The  Stanford,  to  be  decided  in  1S96\  were  as 
before  :  entrance  money  alone  subjected  to  the  modification. 
Racine  has  no  such  guard  as  exists  in  trotting.  A  man  sus- 
pended for  non-pavmenl  of  entrance  money  is  eflectually  de- 
barred from  participation  on  any  track,  and  though  in  some 
cases  that  has  not  been  as  effective  as  it  should,  owing  to  the 
length  of  time  before  notices  could  be  sent  from  head-quar- 
ters, when  the  organization  of  the  Pacific  is  perfected,  that 
difficulty  will  be  overcome. 

There  is  no  question  that  the  Napa  Society  will  gain  largely 
from  the  adoption,  and  as  the  entries  close  on  March  1st 
next,  it  will  not  be  long  before  the  proof  is  presented.  With 
that  favorable,  in  all  probability,  there  will  be  a  general  ac- 
quiescence by  other  associations,  beneficial  to  all  interested.

Nourmahal.— This  old-time  favorite  of  mine  figures  quite 
largely  in  the  Napa  sale  through  the  get  of  her  grandson, 
Grandissimo.  That  her  blood  will  be  found  of  great  potency 
in  the  hereafter,  I  have  not  the  least  doubt.  Her  son  Cas- 
sidy,  bought  by  Matt  Byrnes  for  a  roadhorse  and  not  given 
any  opportunity  in  the  stud  is  the  sire  of  Schoolboy,  which 
has  gained  a  place  in  the  list. 

Nourruahals'  game  and  endurance,  perfect  trotting  action, 
in  that  respect  being  so  close  a  second  to  Arion  that  there  is 
barely  a  nose  difference  at  the  outcome,  and  her  relationship, 
own  sister,  to  A.  \V.  Richmond,  altogether  make  even  a  san- 
guine prophecy  well  within    bouuds.

M.  D.  T.  C.  S.  Entries. 


Entries  to  the  several  stakes  of  the  Monterey  District  Trot- 
ting Colt  Slakes  Association  closed  last  Thursday.  The  nom- 
inations in  each  stake  are  given  below.  A  reference  to  them 
will  show  that  the  several  events  have  filled,  with  the  single 
exception  of  the  four-year-old  trotting  6take  for  the  2:30 
class,  which  had  but  two  entries  and  hence  failed  to  fill.

In  the  search  after  well-formed,  handsome,  pure  gai ted 
trotters  and  pacers  of  good  size,  color  and  disposition,  all  of 
the  prominent  stock  farms  in  California  have  been  visited  at 
various  times  by  horsemen  from  all  parts  of  the  United 
States.  When  at  last  they  have  been  successful  and  the 
question  is  asked  :  "What  do  you  want  for  that  one?"  the 
price  given  is  invariably  so  high  that  the  visitor  turns  away 
and  goes  home  discouraged.  He  hardly  thinks  of  the  time 
and  trouble  devoted,  besides  the  amount  of  money  that  has 
been  paid  for  securing  the  animal  or  animals  selected. 

A  good  judse  of  a  horse  in  not  made,  he  is  born.  And  the 
breeder  thus  gifted  who  has  filled  his  paddocks  with  the  very 
choicest  individuals  has  a  reputation  extending  far  beyond 
the  confines  of  the  State  he  lives  in.  It  is  always  a  pleasure 
to  visit  these  places  and  study  carefully  the  form  and  quality 
of  the  equine  aristocrats  that  have  full  sway  on  the  farms 
owned  by  such  gentlemen,  besides,every  horseman  in  this  State 
knows  who  the  best  judges  of  horses  are,  it  seems,  for  when- 
ever the  names  of  these  gentlemen  are  mentioned  his  praises 
are  sounded  by  the  exclamation  :  "  He  would  not  own  a 
poor  one!" 

The  handsomest  roadsters  and  the  best-formed  game  cam- 
paigners are  all  traceable  to  some  of  the  farms  owned  by  these 
excellent  judges,  and  it  is  perfectly  right  that  this  should  be 
so.  When  one  of  these  gentlemen  concludes  to  retire  from 
the  business  of  breeding  and  raising  fine  horses,  his  reputa- 
tation,  as  a  judge,  sets  everyone  who  desires  a  good  horse  to 
thinking  about  the  possibility  of  securing  one  of  the  hand- 
some animals  that  is  known  to  be  there,  and  which  was  always 
considered  priceless.  Such  an  opportunity  presents  itself 
now,  for  nest  Wednesday  at  the  Napa  Fair  Grounds.  H.  W. 
Crabb,  of  the  To  Kalon  Stock  Farm,  will  dispose  of  every 
head  of  choicely-bred  stock  he  possesses,  and,  when  we  say 
that  there  is  not  an  individual  in  the  lot  that  has  had  mark- 
ings; every  one  is  of  good  size,  perfectly  sound  in  wind  and 
limb,  and  selected  because  of  superior  conformation,  excellent 
feet  and  legs,  and  kindly  dispositions,  we  are  making  no  idle 
boast. 

Mr.  Crabb  laid  the  foundation  of  his  stud  farm  by  getting 
a  class  of  broodmares  that  he  knew  would  fill  all  the  require- 
ments of  horsemen.  He  had  the  great  sire  Whippleton  in 
the  neighborhood  and  bred  these  mares  to  him.  A  splendid 
description  of  this  horse  appears  in  a  contemporary  and  is 
worthy  of  a  place  here,  it  reads  as  follows: 

"  Whippleton,  by  Hambletonian  Jr.,  the  best  son  of  Whip- 
ple's Hambletonian,  was  foaled  in  1S74  and  died  in  1890.  His 
dam,  Lady  Livingston.was  by  that  old  twenty-mile  champion, 
Gen.  Taylor.  Wnippleton  spent  the  greater  part  of  his  life 
in  Napa  county  and  was  liberally  patronized  by  the  farmers 
of  that  locality,as  his  magnificent  individuality  was  impressed 
upon  all  his  progeny,  and  he  got  first-class  carriage  horses 
from  all  kinds  of  mares.  Whippleton  was  a  large  seal  brown 
horse,  weighing  probably  1300  pounds  or  more,  and  though 
never  trained  could  show  a  very  fast  gait  on  the  road.  His 
owner,  Fred  W.  Loeber,  of  the  Vineland  Stock  Farm, though 
always  predicting  that  Whippleton  would  be  a  sire  of  trotters, 
stood  him  as  a  general  purpose  horse  and  he  was  bred  to  the 
ordinary  farm  mares  in  Napa  county.  Whenever  Whipple- 
ton was  bred  to  a  mare  of  good  individuality  and  breeding  he 
invariably  got  colts  that  could  trot  fast.  When  Lily  Stanley 
was  sired  by  him  from  an  unknown  dam  and  took  a  record  of 
2:17 A,  and  Homestake,  a  pacer  from  a  mare  of  unknown 
breeding,  got  a  mark  in  a  race  ofj  2:16£,  and  Flora  B.,  also 
from  a  mare  of  unknown  lineage,  trotted  a  mile  in  2:27, 
Whippleton  began  to  attract  attention  from  breeders,  but  he 
died  just  as  he  was  beginning  to  make  some  money  for  the 
gentleman  who  had  labored  against  opposition  to  prove  that 
his  blood  was  valuable.  In  1893  four  of  Whippleton's  get 
entered  the  2:30  list,  which  gives  him  a  total  of  nine  inside 
the  circle,  no  two  trained  by  the  same  person,  none  from 
mares  that  ever  produced  a  2:30  horse  when  bred  to  any 
other  sire,  and  five  of  them  from  mares  of  unknown  breeding. 
For  his  opportunities  Whippleton  was  undoubtedly  a  great 
horse,  and  his  blood  is  breeding  on.  The  fastest  three-year- 
old  on  the  Salisbury  farm  is  from  a  Whippleton  mare,  and 
will  get  a  record  of  better  than  2:15  this  year  sure." 

No  better  or  firmer  friend  of  Whippleton  ever  lived  than 
Mr.  Crabb.  He  bred  his  mares  by  Naubuc,  John  Nelson,  Geo. 
M.  Patchen  Jr.,  Yick's  Ethan  Allen  and  Blackbird  to  him, 
and  the  seven  mares — the  result  of  these  unions — to  be  sold 
next  Wednesday  will  need  no  fulsome  flattery  from  the  auc- 
tioneer when  they  enter  the  ring.  Then  when  their  families, 
which  have  for  sires  such  great  horses  as  Eros,  2:29A  ;  Gran- 
dissimo, 2:23A  ;  Alcona  Clay,  San  Diego,  2:36,  and  a  host  of 
others,  appear,  the  good  judgment  of  their  breeder  will  at 
once  be  endorsed  by  all  present,  and  the  universal  verdict 
will  be:  "A  finer-looking  lot  of  perfectly-gaited,  speedy  and 
promising  trotters  and  pacers  never  appeared  before  an  auc- 
tion block  in  this  State  before." 

Here  is  an  opportunity  for  trainers  to  get  campaigners; 
gentlemen  of  leisure  to  secure  first-cla6s  teams  and  perfect- 
driving  roadsters;  stoc't-farm  owners  to  procure  grandly- 
formed  broodmares,  colts  and  fillies  that  are  royally-bred,  and 
which  will  prove  a  credit  to  the  wisdom  of  their  purchasers. 
There  is  not  a  "weed"  in  the  entire  lot,  and  there  is  not  one 
that  will  not  increase  the  new  owner's  love  for  a  horse  before 
he  has  him  a  day. 

The  catalogues  do  pot  begin  to  explain  all  of  the  merits  of 
these  individuals.  It  would  be  impossible  for  them  to  do  so, 
but  when  such  mares  as  Oakville  Maid,  2:26;  Like  Like, 
2.-26)  ;  Cora  C,  2:22}  ;  Flora  B.,  2:27,  come  in,  bidding  will 
be  lively,  for  they  are  all  noted  as  game  and  consistent  per- 
formers. Everyone  is  sound  as  a  dollar,  and,  individually, 
the  ideal  of  perfection.  Then  when  Whisp,  the  dam  of  the 
sensational  Eyraud,  appearw,  a  hum  of  excitement  will  be 
heard,  for  no  finer-formed  broodmare  ever  appeared  before 
an  auctioneer.  Her  family,  also  to  be  sold  here,  will  show 
what  kind  of  a  matron  she  is,  aud,  as  she  is  heavy  with  foal, 
whoever  gets  her  will  never  regret  making  the  purchase. 
Her  son,  Eyraud,  by  Eros,  is  a  second  Arion,  for  no  purer- 
gtiited  trotter  ever  trod  the  turf  than  he.  Large  in  size, 
heavy  in  bone,  strong  in  back  and  loin,  powerful  quarter*, 
and  all  guided  by  a  head  that  is  full  of  trot,  he  is  the  ideal  of 
a  trotter.-  He,  as  well  as  To  Kalon  and  Tokio,  and  a  number 
of  other  youngsters,  are  all  entered  in  the  stakes  on  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit. 


Belle  Greer,  dam  of  the  two-year-old  Belle  Thorne,  2:36, 
and  grandam  of  Myrtle  Thorne,  the  brown  filly  with  a  record 
of  2:35  as  a  two-year-old  and  a  candidate  for  2:20  honors  this 
year,  will  also  attract  attention  and  bids. 

Biddy  Toole,  by  A.  W.  Richmond,  is  a  model  mare,  and 
her  two  fillies,  Maude  Pilot  and  Blanche  are  good  ones. 

The  Kohinoor  iuthe  crown  of  equine  jewels,  is  the  great 
broodmare  Etta,  heavy  with  foal  to  the  great  Dictatus.  Etta's 
family,  Cora  C,  2:221,  Like  Like,  2:25,  the  great  pacer  Blue 
Bells,  who  is  the  "dead  picture  of  her  mammy,"  and  the  clean- 
cut,  racy-looking  fillv  Grandetta  show  that  she  is  a  perfect 
broodmare  and  every  one  of  her  produce  that  have  not  done 
so  will  enter  the  "  charmed  circle  "  this  year. 

Star, "  the  queen  of  the  Napa  roads,"  is  a  substantial-look- 
ing, heavily-made,  clean-limbed  mare  that  never  was  passed 
on  the  road.  Her  family  consisting  of  Sue,  Neptune  and 
Roxey,  will  also  be  sold. 

Flora  B.,  2:27  (dam  of  Topsy,  2:29$),  will  be  sold,  together 
with  her  two  fillies  Lottie  and  Belcora,  the  latter  being  a  full 
sister  to  Topsy,  and  a  very  promising  one  she  is. 

The  sire  of  most  of  the  young  ones  in  the  sale  is  Grandis- 
simo, 2:23A,  one  of  the  best-bred  young  trotting  sires  in  Cali- 
fornia. He  is  noted  as  a  sire,  having  two  in  the  list.  As  a 
game  racehorse,  he  earned  an  enviable  place  in  the  estima- 
tion of  all  horsemen  last  year.  Grandissimo  is  a  brother  to 
Grandee,  2:23i,  being  sired  by  Le  Grand  286S,  out  of  Norma 
(dam  of  two  in  the  list),  by  Arthurton  (sire  of  the  dams  of 
twenty-one  in  the  lis' ),  son  of  Hambletonian  10;  second  dam 
Nourmahal,  dam  of  Cassidy,  2:30,  and  sister  to  the  great  sire 
of  speedy  and  game  racehorses,  A.  W.  Richmond.  Nourmahal 
was  a  famous  twenty-mile  trotter,  and  Bhe  was  by  the  great 
Blackbird  401,  holder  for  many  years  of  the  five-mile  record 
14:33.  The  third  dam  of  Grandissimo  was  by  Rattler,  and 
the  fourth  dam  by  Spotted  Ranger.  In  the  catalogue  the  fol- 
lowing note  is  seen :  As  a  sire  of  early  and  extreme  speed, 
Grandissimo  is  one  of  the  leading  young  stallions  in  Califor- 
Myrtle  Thorne,  one  of  his  first  crop  of  foals,  and   the 


only  one  trained  as  a  two-year-old  in  1892,  was  broken  to 
harness  in  June  and  trotted  second  to  Rowena,  2:17,  in  Oc- 
tober, two  beats  in  2:26  and  2:29,  she  made  a  record  of  2:35 
that  season  as  a  two-year-old,  and  is  destined  to  be  very  fast 
this  seasoD.  Last  year  Topsy  got  a  two-year-old  record  of 
2:29J,  and  Altissimo,  a  three-year-old  record  of  2:29£ — two 
out  of  four  colts  trained;  they  were  both  stake- winners. 
Topsy  and  Myrtle  Thorne  are  both  out  of  Whippleton 
dams,  which  is  a  forcible  suggestion  that  Grandissimo  bred 
to  Whippleton  mares,  will  produce  stake-winners."  So,  who- 
ever purchases  Grandissimo  fillies  or  colts  will  find  that  they 
have  treasures  for  either  the  road  or  track  that  will  never 
quit.  They  are  all  of  fine  size  and  color  and  perfectly  gaited. 
Le  Grand  was  by  Almont  out  of  the  great  broodmare  Jessie 
Pepper,  by  Mambrino  Chief  11. 

Vialma,  by  Alconeer  ;  Jesseca,  by  Alconeer  ;  Cindia,  by 
Alconeer  ;  besides  the  others  by  this  sire  demonstrate  most 
clearly  that  this  full  brother  to  Alcona  Jr.  2:19  is  destined 
to  take  a  very  exalted  place  among  the  6ires  of  California. 
When  we  say  that  this  horse  cannot  be  purchased  from  his 
present  owners  for  any  amount  of  money  a  fair  idea  can  be 
obtained  of  the  opinion  held  of  him. 

Mr.  Crabb,  in  parting  with  these,  does  so  with  reluctance, 
but  he  finds  that  he  cannot  devote  the  time  to  the  business  he 
would  like,  nevertheless,  we  regret  to  see  him  leave  the  in- 
dustry, for  in  looking  through  his  paddocks,  we  believe  that 
he  has  several  that  will  make  reputations  as  record  breakers, 
and  it  is  a  pity  to  see  some  other  owners  get  the  credit  of 
owning  such  great  ones 

Another  famous  trotter  is  to  be  sold  and  that  one  is  the 
black  stallion  Silas  Skinner  2:17,  by  Alcona  Jr.  2:19  out  of 
Fontana  (dam  of  Flora  Belle  2:24,  Silas  Skinner  2:17, 
Veronica  2:29  and  San  Diego  2:36)  by  Almont  33,  out  of 
Fanny  Williams,  (dam  of  Bay  Chieftain  2:28*)  by  Abdallah 
15.  Every  one  knows  what  a  race  horse  he  was.  His  career 
is  a  part  of  the  turf  history  of  California,  and  as  a  sire  he  is 
as  sure  to  come  to  the  front  as  any  well  bred  stallion  in  this 
state.  Around  Santa  Rosa,  there  are  several  of  his  colts  and 
fillies  and  their  owners  declare  they  will  breed  their  mares 
back  to  him  no  matter  who  the  purchaser  may  be,  for  they 
have  seen  enough  to  convince  them  that  they  have  the  ma- 
terial eligible  for  holders  of  low  records.  Silas  Skioner  will 
need  very  little  praise,  for  the  echoes  of  the  thousands  who 
saw  him  win  his  great  races  are  not  forgotten  and  will  do 
more  towards  creating  an  enthusiasm  at  the  sale  than  all  the 
auctioneer  can  say. 

Then  there  is  that  grandly  bred  and  game  pacing  stallion 
Blonde  Wilkes  2:22J.  Sons  of  Guy  Wilkes  out  of  Arthur- 
ton  mares  are  scarce  in  California  and  especially  those  with 
low  records  such  as  this  fellow  earned.  He  is  perfectly  sound 
and  if  taken  in  hand  will  lower  his  record  to  2:10  easily.  He 
is  only  six  years  old  aud  is  a  model  of  symmetry  and  strength. 
As  a  race  horse  he  is  bred  to  *'  stay  the  route"  and  will  be  a 
dangerous  factor  in  .bis  races  this  fall. 

Mrs.  A.  Skinner  consigns  to  this  sale  all  of  the  stock  she 
owns,  consisting  of  Noonday  Jr.,  a  grandly-bred  colt,  aod  is 
"  all  horse  from  the  ground  up."  He  is  out  of  the  great  mare 
Madonna,  by  Cassius  M.  Clay  Jr.  22. 

Coloma,  by  Alcona  Clay  out  of  Fontana,  is  a  fine  individual; 
she  is  a  pure-gaited  trotter,  and  one  that  will  make  an  excel- 
lent animal  either  on  the  track  or  road,  or  in  the  harem. 

Daphne,  the  best-bred  daughter  of  Frazier's  Secretary,  is 
the  kind  of  a  filly  to  own.  She  will  enter  the  list  when  given 
an  opportunity. 

J.  B.  Stevens  consigns  the  best-matched  team  of  roadsters 
ever  offered  for  sale  at  auction  in  California.  They  can  trot 
together  in  2:30,  and  are  perfect  in  every  way.  A  child  twelve 
years  of  age  can  drive  them  anywhere.  They  are  not  afraid 
of  anything  and  are  perfectly  trained. 

R.  G.  Head  sends  only  two  oi  the  best  of  his  stock  to  this 
sale,  one  is  Stooeman  19,665,  by  Mountain  Bov,and  the  other 
is  Rupella,  a  black  filly  by  Rupee,  2:11,  outof  Freda  by  Fred 
Arnold  11.084.  She  is  as  fast  as  she  is  handsome.  These 
two  should  bring  good  prices. 

J.  W.  Williams  sends  two  very  choice  ones,  Ed  L.,  a  typi- 
cal roadster  capable  of  going  in  2:35,  needs  neither  check  nor 
boots,  and  a  better  driving  animal  would  be  hard  to  find. 
Ruby  is  the  name  of  a  bay  roareby  Irvington  Chief,  that  is 
heavy  with  foal  to  Grandissimo.  She  Is  a  splendid  individ- 
ual and  would  be  a  credit  to  any  band  of  broodmares  in  this 
State. 

Aztec,  by  Azmoor,  2  20*,  out  of  Urania,  by  Kentucky 
Prince  2490,  is  another  equine  gem  in  the  sale,  and  should 
bring  a  good  price. 

Besides  these  there  are  several  splendid  driving  teams  and 
a  few  others  suitable  for  work  teams.  Catalogues  can  be  had 
on  application  to  this  office,  at  Killip  &  Co.'s,  or  by  writing 
to  F."  W.  Loeber,  of  St.  Helena.  Every  one  in  need  of  a  good 
horse  should  attend  this  sale.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 


TWENTY-EIGHTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  FEBRUARY  13. 

INTERESTING  racing  was  in  order 
this  afternoon,  and  it  was  enjoyed 
by  a  crowd  of  over  2,000.  True, 
there  were  no  sensational  fields,  but 
there  was  such  a  diversity  of  opin- 
j  ,  ion  that  great  betting  in  most  of  the 
events  was  had.  The  track  was  still 
very  slow,  especially  in  the  horae- 
^f  stretch,  where  the  gummy  mud 
fairly  anchored  an  ordinary  horse. 
Favorites  won  the  first  two  races,  but  in  the  last  three  the 
first  choices  were  sadly  out  of  the  hunt.  Leigh,  Irving,  Madi- 
son, Sloan  and  C.  Weber  were  the  successful  jockeys  to-day. 
Kitty  Scott,  giving  six  pounds  weight  away  to  nearly  every 
hor^e  in  the  race,  got  away  third,  was  first  into  the  home- 
stretch, and  won  easily  by  a  couple  of  lengths  from  Dow 
Williams'  filly,  Venus,  who  made  her  first  appearance  in 
this  race.  Gassen,  well-played,  got  the  show  quite  handily, 
while  Sweet,  another  good  thing,  ran  fourth. 

Brownwood  won  the  second  race,  for  which  he  was  a  red- 
hot  favorite,  in  a  canter,  leading  all  the  way.  Dr.  Ross, 
whipped  from  the  head  of  the  homestretch  to  the  finish,  go 
the  place  in  the  gamest  sort  of  fashion.  Georgetown  was  at 
fair  third. 

Imp.  Piccolo,  on  the  strength  of  his  stake  win  recently, 
was  made  an  cen-money  favorite  in  the  third  event,  seven 
furlongs,  selling.  Royal  Flush  weot  to  the  front  near  the 
half-pole,  and  staying  there  to  the  end,  won  in  a  gallop, 
Francesca,  his  sister,  coming  up  and  getting  the  place.  A. 
Covington  made  a  very  weak  ride  on  Piccolo,  but  brought 
him  in  third  at  that.  The  judges  warned  him  that  they 
wanted  no  more  rides  of  that  description. 

Trix,  at  7  and  8  to  1,  ran  rings  around  his  field  in  the 
fourth  event,  winning  with  astonishing  ease,  with  another 
long  shot,  Paulns,  in  the  place  and  still  another  outsider 
(Bordeaux)  third.  Artist  was  the  favorite,  and  ran  promi- 
nently for  a  time,  but  fell  back  in  the  homestretch,  finishing 
fourth.  Johnny  Payne  appeared  to  have  lost  all  the  speed 
he  ever  possessed,  and  was  last. 

Major  Ban  led  from  flagfall  until  well  in  the  homestretch, 
where  he  stuck  the  very  heavy  going  and  gave  up,  Floodmore 
coming  on  like  a  sure-enough  racehorse  and  winning  by  five 
lengths  from  San  Luis  Rey  (favorite)  who  got  away  badly, 
when  coming  through  in  the  homestretch,  but  a  claim  of  foul 
made  by  A.  Covington  was  disallowed. 

HOW  THE  RACES    WERE  RUN. 

There  was  not  a  scratch  in  the  first  race,  for  two-year-old 
three  furlongs,  eleven  appearing  at  the  post.  Kitty  Scot 
was  an  odds-on  favorite,  Cejil  S.  second  choice  at  S  to  1, 
Silver  next  in  demand  at  12  to  1.  The  odds  against  the 
others  ranged  from  15  to  100  to  1.  Flagstaff,  Sweet,  Kitty 
Scott,  Frances  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Kicty  Scott  was  in 
front  in  the  first  sixty  yards,  and  leading  two  lengths  into  the 
homestretch  and  a  length  an  eighth  from  home,  came  on 
and  won  in  a  gallop  by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Venus  second 
(having  made  a  fine  run  down  the  homestretch),  as  far  from 
Gassen,  who  got  away  sixth  and  ran  fourth  into  the  home- 
stretch.    The  time  was  0:39.

Brownwood  was  an  11  to  20  shot,  Georgetown  second  choice, 
at  3  to  1,  Leveller  at  12  to  1,  Dr.  Ross  next  in  demand  at 
15  to  1,  the  others  from  25  to  150  to  1.  The  start  was  a  very 
good  one.  Brownwood  went  out  in  the  lead  at  once,  and,  un- 
der a  pull,  led  past  the  half  by  a  length,  Chartreuse  second,  a 
head  from  Leveller,  the  rest  close  up.  Chartreuse  went  up 
to  the  favorite  three  furlongs  from  home,  and  Dr.  Ross  had 
run  up  third.  Brownwood  went  away  again,  and  leading  by 
three  lengths  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch,  came  on  and 
won  easily  by  two  lengths.  In  a  whipping  finish  Dr.  Ross 
got  the  place  by  a  leogth  from  Georgetown,  who  came  fast 
just  at  the  close.  Chartreuse  was  fourth,  lapped  on  George- 
town.   Time,  103}.

The  third  event,  seven  furloogs,  selling,  had  six  starters 
Imp.  Piccolo  was  an  even-money  favorite,  Royal  Flush  second 
choice  at  4  to  1,  Duke  Stevens  at  6,  Francesca  at  8,  Garcia  10 
and  Catch  'Em  30  to  1.  To  a  good  start  they  went  by  the 
quarter-pole,  with  France9ca  first  by  a  head,  Duke  Stevens 
second,  as  far  from  Royal  Flush.  Little  Weber  sent  the

behind  the  bunch.  Trix  led  Artist  ahead  three  furlongs  from

The  last  race  of  the  day,  five  furlongs,  was  for  maidens-  San 
Luis  Rey  was  a  slight  favorite  over  Floodmore.  Major  Ban 
was  at  4j  to  1,  Laline  6,  Ravine  7,  the  others  from  12  to  200 
tol.  After  a  considerable  delay  at  the  post  caused  by  the 
bad  actions  of  Laline  and  others  the  flag  fell  to  a  poor 
start,  the  order  being  Major  Ban,  Durango,  Floodmore,  Bes- 
sie, San  Luis  Rey  got  away  seventh.  Major  Ban  led  Durango 
a  length  to  the  last  furlong,  Floodmore  lying  third,  very  close 
up.  The  heavy  going  in  the  homestretch  was  too  much  for 
Major  Ban,  and  besides  San  Luis  Rey  swerved  into  him  about 
a  sixteenth  from  the  end.  Floodmore  said  good-bye  to  his 
opponents  opposite  the  north  end  of  the  betting  quarters, 
and  running  about  twice  as  fast  as  they  did,  won  by  five 
lengths,  with  San  Luis  Rey  second  three  lengths,  in  front  of

TWENTY-NINTH    DAY — WEDNESDAY,     FEBRUARY    4. 

Surprises  galore  there  were  to-day,  and  the  raciDg  was 
not  as  interesting  as  we  have  seen  it  many  a  time — especially 
to  the  "  sure-thing"  players.  The  day  was  {t  a  beaut,"  as 
John  L.  Sullivan  would  have  it,  and  the  warm  sun's  rays  had 
the  effect  of  drawing  a  crowd  of  perhaps  2,000  to  see 
the  five  events  run  off.  The  bookies  got  most  of  the 
money,  as  few  played  either  of  the  long  shots  that  won — Bliz- 
zard and  imp.  Percy.  Bozeman,  Seaman,  Taylor,  Sloan  and 
Leigh  were  the  successful  pilots  of  flyers  this  afternoon. 

George  L.  led  all  the  way  in  the  first  race,  and  won  by  five 
lengths  from  Monarch,  who  just  managed  to  beat  the  fast- 
coming  Southern  Lady  out  of  the  place.  Xellie  Van  got 
away  poorly,  and  was  not  prominent  at  any  time.  Van  and 
George  L.  divided  favoritism  at  2]  to  1. 

Blizzard,  at  12  to  1,  won  the  second  race  as  easily  as  George 
L.  did  the  first.  Getting  away  well,  he  made  every  pole  a 
winning  one,  simply  galloping  in  a  winner  from  such  clinkers 
at  the  shorter  routes  as  Middleton,  Ja  Ja  and  Conde.  Verily 
Blizzard  is  a  good,  consistent  horse.  His  owner,  however,  did 
not  play  him  to  an  extent  worth  mentioning,  in  fact,  he  was 
one  of  the  warmest  men  in  Christendom  when  the  brown  colt 
won. 

Centella  won  the  mile  handicap  in  the  hardest  sort  of 
drive  from  King  Mac,  the  latter  carrying  about  twenty-five 
pounds  of  dead  weight.  Lodowic  showed  marked  improve- 
ment over  his  previous  race,  and  ran  a  very  fair  sort  of 
third.    He  will  do  better  when  the  going  is  improved. 

Malcolm,  backed  down  into  favoritism,  won  the  fourth 
race  easily,  with  Vanity  in  the  place  (after  leading  up  to  the 
final  sixteenth)  and  Little  Tough  a  good  third.  Near  the  far 
turn  Twang  stumbled,  throwing  little  Jones,  then  Atossa, 
back  of  him,  turned  a  somersault,  for  a  wonder  not  injuring 
little  Donatban.  Jones  was  not  seriously  injured,  but  Atossa 
was  terribly  skinned  up. 

The  last  race  was  captured  by  the  (to  us)  unknown 
quantity,  imp.  Percy,  who  got  away  in  front  to  a  poor  start 
and  stayed  there  to  the  end,  winning  very  easily  from  Brown- 
wood, a  1  to  4  shot. 


HOW   THE  RACES  WERE  RUN. 

Xellie  Van  and  George  L.  were  equal  favorites  in  the  first 

race,  five  and  one-half  furlongs,  selling.    Southern  Lady  was 

at  4  to  1,  the  others  from  S  to  50  to  1.    To  a  fair  start  for  all 

|  but  Xellie  Van  and  Memoir  they  went  away,  George  L.  in. 

the  lead  and  Vandal ight  second.     George  L.  led  Vandalight 

I  a  length  at   the  half-pole,  Currency  third.     Three  furlongs 

I  from  the  finish  George  L.  was  a  length  to  the  good,  Monarch 

i  having  run   up  from  fourth    position  to  second,  a  leogth  in 

I  from  Vandalight.     George  L.  led  into  the   homestretch  by 

j  two  lengths,  and,  drawing  away  in    the  straight,  won   by  five 

!  lengths,    Monarch  driven   out,  second,  half  a  length   from 

!  Southern  Ladv,  who  was  catching  him  very  fast  at  the  end. 

Time,  1:11$.     St.  Patrick  finished  fourth.

Middleton  was  an  even-money  favorite  for  the  second  race, 
short  six  furlongs,  Ja  Ja  second  choice  at  3  to  1.  Conde  was 
at  4h  to  1,  Blizzard  at  12  to  1,  the  others  from  15  to  300  to 
1,  the  latter  being  Lord  Dunbar's  price.  Blizzard  got  away

ing  run  up  from  fifth  place.  Blizzard  opened  out  on  his  field, 
leading  Middleton  into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths  and 
winning  by  five  lengths  with  astonishing  ease — simply  in  a

third.  Xear  the  quarter  Centella  got  through  the  bunch,  and

tle Tough  was  at  3  to  1,  Twang  4,  Vanity  6  to  1,  the  others

head  of  the  homestretch,  Little  Tough  being  second,  half  a

Five  only  came  to  the  post  in  the  last  race,  which  was  about 
sis  furlongs.  Brownwood  was  thought  to  have  what  in  turf

The  New  Jockey  Club. 


New  York,  February  S.— Special  telegram 
to  Inter-Ocean— The  new  jockey  club  has  at 
last  been  organized  and  named.  It  will  be 
known  simply  as  the  jockey  club.  Articles  of 
incorporation  were  drawn  up  to-day  and  for- 
warded to  the  Secretary  of  State  at  Albany, 
and  within  a  few  days  the  new  club  will  be  a 
legally  incorporated  body. 

Among  those  who  signed  the  articles  of  in- 
corporation were  William  C.  Whitney,  Colo- 
nel O.  H.  Payne  and  F.  K.  Sturgis.  Mr. 
Keene,  at  the  first  meeting  of  the  horsemen, 
intimated  that  Mr.  Whitney  sympathized  with 
the  moyement.  The  ex-Secretary  of  the  Navy 
is  fond  of  horses,  but  has  hitherto  paid  little 
attention  to  the  thoroughbreds.  It  is  not 
probable  that  he  will  go  actively  into  racing. 
The  other  names  to  the  articles  were :  Perry 
Belmont,  Colonel  W.  P.  Thompson,  J.  B. 
Haggin,  John  Hunter,  A.  J.  Cassatt.  James 
Galway  and  Dr.  (i.  L.  Eoapp.  The  names  of 
J.  0.  Donner,  August  Belmont  and  Pierre 
Lorillard  do  not  appear  because  of  the  legal 
requirement  that  signers  of  incorporation 
papers  shall  be  present  at  the  signing. 

In  order  to  effect  an  incorporation  of  the 
club  it  is  necessary  to  name  a  board  of  di- 
rectors and  stewards  in  the  papers.  The  fol 
lowing  were  named  as  stewards  of  the  Jockey 
Club  forl894:  August  Belmont,  J.  E.  Keene, 
John  Hunter,  Colonel  W.  P.  Thompson,  J.  O. 
Donner,  F.  K.  S'urgis  and  Dr.  G.  L.  Kuapp. 
"It  is  not  probable  that  there  will  be  any 
president,"  said  one  of  the  incorporators. 
"  The  policy  adopted  by  the  English  Jockey 
Club,  of  having  the  senior  steward  act,  avoids 
any  jealousy  or  ill  feeling.  I  think  the  Eng- 
lish plan  will  be  followed." 

The  Jockey  Club  will  hold  its  first  meeting 
next  Saturday  at  the  offices  of  the  Board  of 
Control  in  the  Cumberland.  The  main  busi- 
ness will  probably  be  the  consideration  of  the 
by-laws  which  have  been  partially  formulated 
A  number  of  gentlemen  who  have  expressed 
a  desire  to  join  the  club  will  probably  be 
elected  at  this  meeting.  Mr.  Keene  said  to- 
day that  there  was  not  a  gentleman  named  as 
a  steward  who  would  not  resign  in  favor  of 
any  other  who  would  be  more  acceptable  to 
the  racing  association,  in  order  to  effect  per- 
fect harmony.

Roller's  East  St.  Louis  Cup. 


thev  saw  the  Egyptians  gather  around  Shields 
and  Roller  and  look  at  them  with  the  air  of 
Fiji  Islanders,  who  had  captured  two  juicy 
and  succulent  subjects  for  a  holiday  feast.  It 
is  such  a  sad  tale  that  I  will  cut  it  short. 

"The  two  innocents  from  Guttenburg  were 
cajoled  and  petted  by  the  Egyptians,  so  that 
they  did  not  object  to  the  smaller  losses  in  the 
first  two  races  in  which  their  horses  started,  ps 
tbey  were  preparing  to  annihilate  them  when 
Dalsyrian  started.  The  Iong-looked-for  day 
arrived,  with  track,  betting  and  all  other 
things  in  favor  of  the  East.  Everyone  of  the 
Eastern  crowd  played  Dalsyrian  as  if  the  race 
were  over.  Thsre  was  no  trouble  in  placing 
money,  as  we  accepted  the  odds  posted,  for  it 
looked  liked  stealing  the  money.  Shields  and 
Roller  had  the  wires  to  the  pool-rooms  all 
over  the  country  hot  with  messages  to  get  on- 
to the  good  thing,  as  it  was  a  '  cinch  '  with  a 
big'C  When  the  horses  went  to  the  post 
the  odds  on  Dalsyrian  went  up  again,  but 
Griffin  was  in  thesaddle,  and  both  Rollerand 
Shields  were  cursing  their  luck  because  they 
had  no  more  money  to  bet.  When  the  flag 
fell  a  cry  of  dismay  went  up  from  the  Eastern 
crowd  as  Dalsyrian  was  left  at  the  post. 
Shields  and  Roller  clung  to  each  other,  to 
keep  from  falling,  as  both  looked  apoplectic. 
Their  voices  failed  them  as  their  visions  of 
opulence  vanished. 

"  Id's  grooked  races  like  dose  vat  ruins  der 
business,'  Roller  ejaculated. 

" '  Yer  kin  jest  bet  yer  life,'  said  Shields. 

"  '  Led's  ged  oud,'  said  Roller.

"Griffin,  the  jockey,  borrowed  $2  to  get 
back  to  St.  Louis.  If  proper  connections  can 
be  made  and  the  roads  get  good,  look  cut  for 
tbe  arrival  of  some  travel-stained  and  weary 
turfmen  who  are  anxious  to  return  to  Xew 
York.  The  new  jockey  club  has  a  chance  to 
reform  Gloucester,  Clifton  or  Gutteoburg,  but 
it's  1,000,000  to  1  that  East  St.  Lonis  cannot

THOROUGHBRED    STALLIONS 


Will    Make    the    Season    of    1894    at    the    San    Jose    Track! 


ST.    SAVIOUR,       IMP.    GREENBACK      AND      OWAS! 


St.  SAVIOUR. 

ST.  SAVIOUR  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dancei 
is  the  sire  of  thtit  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two->  ear-old.  As  a  three- 
year-uld  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  Hrst  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Slakes,  \)&  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Rarltan  Stakes,  \)i  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Krnest-Mimi  colt  and  four  others  in  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehorse,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racere,  Eole,  Eolist  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savl  ur'ssire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  wiuners.  Eolus  was  by  the  immortal  Learning- 
ton.  sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Se  isatiou. 
St.  Saviour  has  demonstrated  his  worth  at  the  stud,  with  compar- 
atively limited  opportunities,  and  owners  of  well-bred  mares  take 
no  chances  in  breeding  to  such  a  tried  race  Ihorse  and  sire. 

ST.  SAVIOUR'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  Is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satanella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shauk,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  flelrt  of 
fourteen  good  ones;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others ;  beaten  a  bead  for  Members'  Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Tbormanby-Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  and,  royaily-bred 
as  he  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  be  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback. 


OWAS. 


GREENBACK'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 

— ^— ^^^—    FEES    PAYABLE    AT    TIME    OF    SERVICE.   — — — — 

We  offer  Good  Pasturage  at  $4  per  Month.    Mares  will  be  Fed  Hay  and  Grain,  if  Desired,  at  Reasonable  Rates 


OWAS  is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sire  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1893,  being  by  Reform  (son  of 
imp.  Leamington),  dam  Maggie  B.  B.,  dam  of  Iroquois,  Harold, 
Franceses,  Panique  and  Okema.  Owas  is  thoroughly  untried,  never 
having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  full  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  be  secured  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
pr  jve  Just  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  in  the  stud.  Ow  ,s  is  a 
bay  horse,  of  good  size,  a  magnificent  individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fail  to  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  in  America,  In  all  probability.  Reform,  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Service,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner),  La  Belle  N., 
Blushrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  turf,  while  his  dam, 
Maggie  B.  B.,  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  in  America. 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  prove  what 
we  think  of  this  young  horse  it  has  been  decided  to  offer 

OWAS'  SERVICES  AT  $50.

Stock  Farm  For  Sale. 

One  of  the  finest  Btock  farms  in  California,  consisting  of  about  one  hundred  acres  of  rich 
soil,  twenty  acres  of  which  in  alfalfa,  well  watered  and  fenced.  It  is  one  of  the  best-appointed 
places  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Napa  river.  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
it.  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  slyle, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desiiable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth, eleesntlv  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MAR  VEX  and  the

breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keening, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  saysot 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,aud  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
dtvelopeto  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  » 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  handset  every  rubber  on  our  farm  "

JALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


THIKTIETH  DAY — THURSDAY,    FEBRUARY    15TH. 

AIN  having  fallen  pretty  hard  all  the 
forenoon,  the  track  was  put  bacfe  to 
the  slushy  grade.  A  good  pro- 
gramme, however,  made  a  crowd  of 
over  2,000  brave  the  fury  of  the 
winds  and  water.  They  saw  some 
very  fair  racing,  though  devoid  of 
anything  approaching  the  sensa- 
tional. Three  favorites,  a  strong 
second  choice  and  a  3  to  1  shot  got 
first  money,  making  a  very  fair  day 
for  the  talent,  taken  all  in  all.  The 
successful  jockeys  to-day  were 
Leigh,  Carr,  Taylor  and  Bozeman,  the  first-named  having  two 
winning  mounts  apiece. 

Katrinka  is  good  in  t^e  mud.  Racing  along  with  old 
Hercules  nearly  to  the  homestretch,  she  came  away  and  made 
her  field  look  like  the  sorriest  kind  of  crabs.  Old  Guada- 
loupe  ran  up  and  got  the  place  in  good  style,  while  Gilead 
got  tbe  show.  Hercules  sulked  or  quit  in  the  straight,  finish- 
ing fifth.    Katrinka  was  post  favorite. 

Leveller  showed  vastly  improved  form  to-day,  easily  defeat- 
ing Clacquer,  Duke  Stevens  and  Fly.  He  was  at  3  to  1  in 
the  belting. 

Zenobia,  favorite,  won  all  the  way  in  the  Admiral  Cigarette 
Stake,  a  50  to  1  shot,  Comrade,  getting  the  place,  and  Reali- 
zation the  show.  Imp.  Stromboli  got  away  absolutely  last  of 
all  in  the  field  of  ten,  and,  while  he  improved  his  position, 
was  not  iD  the  first  flight  at  the  end.  This  stake  was  worth 
$1,150  to  the  winner.  Zenobia,  the  winner,  is  closely  related 
to  Flambeau,  their  dams  being  full  sisters.  She  is  rather  on 
(he  small  order,  has  a  world  of  speed,  and  was  virtually 
thrown  into  this  race  when  given  bat  100  pounds  by  the 
handicapper.  Zenobia  should  have  been  weighted  at  about 
112  pounds,  and  then  there  would  have  been  something  of  a 
horse  race. 

•  Joe  Murphy  had  one  of  the  easiest  wios  of  either  meet- 
ins  when  he  captured  the  mile  event  to-day.  He  simply 
cantered  in  a  victor  by  about  three  parts  of  a  length  from 
Blizzard,  but  it  was  apparent  he  could  have  put  ten  lengths 
of  daylight  between  himself  and  the  McCarty  horse  had  he 
been  given  his  head.  Murphy's  excellent  form  was  com* 
mented  upon  on  all  sides,  and  besides  the  impression  pre- 
vailed that  he  could  not  go  well  in  the  mud. 

Red  Light  had  a  verj  easy  victory  in  the  last  race,  lead- 
ing all  the  way  and  winning  by  four  lengths  from  Nor- 
ma ndie.

Katrinka,  played  heavily  all  around  the  ring,  was  backed 
into  decided  favoritism  in  the  first  race.  Gilead  was  second 
in  favor  at  3  to  1,  Hercules  at  4's,  Guadaloupe  at  6,  the  others 
from  10  to  100  to  1.  Hercules  and  Katrinka  raced  ofl  to- 
gether, and  ran  head-and-head  as  named  for  nearly  half  a 
mile,  when  Katrinka  went  away  from  him,  Hercules  sulking 
and  Guadaloupe  running  up  second,  half  a  length  in  front  of 
Hercules  and  four  lengths  behind  Katrinka.  The  latter  came 
on  and  won  easily  bv  four  lengths,  Guadaloupe,  second,  as 
far  from  Gilead.  Lcdi  was  fourth  and  Hercules  a  poor  fifth.

Clacquer  was  a  favorite  in  the  second  race,  five  and  one-

13  to  5.  Leveller  was  at  3  to  1,  as  was  Fly.  To  a  good  start 
at  the  first  break  Fly  went  out  to  set  the  pace,  leading  Level- 
ler a  length  at  the  half-pole;  Clacquer  lapped  on  Leveller. 
Fly  led  Leveller  a  head  at  the  next  furlong  pole,  and  at  the 
bead  of  the  homestretch,  with  Clacquer  third,  two  lengths 
away.  Fly  dropped  back  a  furlong  from  home,  and  Leveller 
came  on  in  front.  Clacquer  challenged  him  about  a  sixteenth 
from  home,  but  Leveller  shook  him  ofl"  and  won  by  a  length, 
Clacquer  second,  three  lengths  from  Duke  Stevens,  who  came 
up  and  beat  Fly  four  lengths  for  the  show.     Time,  l:12f.

LWinner  trained  by  R.  Colston,  Jr.] 

Tbe  Admiral  Cigarette  Stake,  about  six  furlongs,  brought 
out  a  field  of  ten  horses.  Zenobia  was  warmly  supported  at 
7  and  8  to  5.  Stromboli  and  Realization,  at  6  to  1,  were  next 
in  demand,  the  former  being  10  to  1  at  one  time.  Tyro  was  at 
7  to  1,  Princess  8,  Comrade  50  to  1,  20  to  1  a  place,  the  rest 
from  15  to  150  to  1,  the  latter  being  Major  Ban's  price.  Pes- 
cador cut  up  as  crazily  as  he  generally  does  at  the  post,  and 
he,  with  Major  Ban,  delayed  matters  for  nearly  half  an  hour. 
Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  fair  start,  Pescador  ofl"  first,  Strom- 
boli last.  Zenobia,  third  away,  immediately  went  to  the  fore, 
leading  Piccolo  two  lengths  at  the  half-pole,  the  last-named 
three  in  front  of  Comrade,  the  rest  id  a  bunch.  Three  fur- 
longs from  the  finishing  point  Zenobia  was  running  along  in 
front  easily  to  the  good,  imp.  Piccolo  second,  two  from  Reali- 
zation, on  whom  Comrade  was  lapped.  Swinging  into  tbe 
homestretch  Zenobia  had  added  another  length  to  her  lead, 
and  Piccolo  was  second,  tiring,  a  length  from  Realization, 
who  had  Comrade  at  his  saddle.  Carr  took  a  wrap  on  the 
favorite  a  furlong  from  home,  then  when  Comrade  came  with 
a  fine  burst,  looking  dangerous  for  a  second,  drew  away  again, 
winning  quite  easily  by  two  lengths,  with  the  loog  shot, 
Comrade,  second  by  two  lengths.  Realization  third,  a  head 
only  in  front  of  Tyro.  Stromboli  improved  his  position,  but 
only  finished  seventh.     The  time  was  1:16$.

The  fourth  race  was  one  of  a  mile,  selling.  Joe  Murphy 
was  an  odds-on  favorite  at  the  close,  being  backed  down  from 
from  8  to  5  to  9  to  10.  Royal  Flush  was  next  in  favor  at  5 
to  1.  Blizzard  was  at  7  to  2.  Francesca  at  8  to  2.  Joe 
Murphy,  Royal  Flush.  Garcia  was  the  order  to  a  good  start. 
Royal  Flush  led  at  the  quarter  by  a  head.  Joe  Murphy  sec- 
ond, a  length  from  Sir  Reel,  he  a  bead  from  Blizzard. 
Joe  Murphy  led  Roval  Flush  half  a  leDgth  a'  the  half  pole, 


Royal  Flush  second,  as  far  from  Blizzard.  The  latter  was 
now  sent  along,  and  swinging  into  the  homestretch  three 
lengths  in  the  lead,  looked  all  over  a  winner.  Joe  Murphy 
was  only  being  saved  for  the  finish,  and  a  furlong  from  home 
he  had  caught  and  passed  Blizzard,  Seaman  going  to  the 
bat.  Sitting  like  a  statue  Leigh  sent  Murphy  in  the  easiest 
of  winners  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Blizzard  second,  driven 
out,  three  lengths  from  Francesca,  who  made  up  a  lot  of 
ground  in  the  last  three  furlongs.     Time,  1:49£.

[Winner  trained  by  owner.] 

Guard  was  a  slight  favorite  in  the  last  race,  five  farlongs 
over  Red  Light  and  Normandie.  Chartreuse  was  fancied  some 
at  6  to  1.  Fred  Parker  was  at  8  to  1,  the  others  from  10  to 
50  to  1.  To  a  good  start  Redlight  led.  Patsy  O'Neil  second 
and  Fred  Parker  third.  Red  Light  led  Fred  Parker  a  length 
at  the  half-pole,  and  half  that  distance  at  the  end  of  the  next 
furlong,  where  Londonville  was  third,  a  head  from  Palsy 
O'Neil,  Chartreuse  next.  Fred  Parker  fell  back  nearingthe 
homestretch,  which  Red  Light  entered  first  by  three  lengths, 
Parker  being  second,  three  lengths  from  Chartreuse.  In  tbe 
straight  Red  Light  went  on  about  his  business,  winning  easily 
by  four  lengths,  with  Normandie,  who  made  a  cracking  good 
run  down  the  straight,  second,  three  lengths  from  Chartreuse, 
who  was  a  head  only  in  front  of  guard,  the  latter  coming 
from  the  rear  very  fast.    Time,  1:05}. 

THIRTY-FIBST  DAY — FRIDAY,  FEBRUARY  16. 

Our  race-goers  will  remember  this  day's  racing  UDtil  their 
memory-cells  burst  asunder.  Not  only  was  the  racing  good, 
but  sensations  galore  were  on  tap.  The  course  was  slushy 
enough  to  suit  the  members  of  the  mud  families,  and  tbe 
strong,  game  horses  captured  the  coin.  Two  favorites, 
two  long  shots  and  a  3  to  1  chance  finished  in  front,  so  the 
balance  was  probably  on  the  right  side  of  the  pencilers' 
ledger.  A  great  colt  was  shown  in  the  fourth  race  in  Diggs, 
who,  getting  away  poorly — las^bul  one  in  a  field  of  seven — 
ran  rings  around  his  opponents  and  won  a  remarkable  race 
by  three  lengths.  At  one  time  Diggs  must  have  been  a  good 
fifteen  lengths  behind  the  favorite,  Gus  Strauss,  on  whose 
chances  thousands  of  dollars  weDt  glimmering. 

The  successful  jockeys  were  Taylor,  Irving,  C.  Weber,  H. 
R.  Hill  and  Seaman,  all  acquitting  themselves  splendidly, 
especially  Charley  Weber  and  Hill. 

One  Dime,  a  red-hot  favorite,  ran  head  and-head  with 
Nellie  Van  for  nearly  three  furlongs,  then  came  away  from 
the  little  Washington  mare  and  won  as  he  pleased.  Nellie 
Van  shut  up  in  the  straight,  and  Folly  came  from  the  middle 
of  the  bunch  and  got  the  place  like  a  true  daughter  of  Wild- 
idle  should — in  the  mud.  Monarch  was  a  good  third.  Nellie 
Van  finished  away  back,  while  Vandalight  was  fourth. 

Middleton,  at  3  to  1,  led  from  llag-fall  to  finish  in  the  sec- 
ond race.  Zampost  was  ridden  out  from  the  jump,  but  could 
not  head  him,  and  Dr.  Ross,  absolutely  last  at  the  start,  ran 
up  like  a  flash  in  the  homestretch  under  the  whip,  and  beat 
Zampost  out  a  head  for  the  place. 

Thornhill  ran  a  wonderfully  game  race,  catching  Road 
Runner  in  the  last  stride,  and  won  by  a  head.  Road  Run- 
ner made  a  swerve  about  a  sixteenth  from  home,  and  this  un- 
doubtedly cost  him  thejrace.  Alesia,  the  favorite,  ran  third 
to  the  homestretch,  and  died  away. 

The  two-year  old  race  uncovered  a  grand  colt  in  Diggs. 
Getting  awav  sixth  to  a  poor  start,  he  was  soon  a  good  fifteen 
lengths  behind  the  favorite,  Mr.  Corrigan's  Gus  Strauss.  He 
not  only  made  up  this  ground,  but  won  very  easily  by  three 
lengths  from  Hanford,  who  is  alto  a  good  youngster.  This 
was  his  first  appearance  in  public,  ami  bis  Sacramento  friends 
played  him  for  a  killing,  as   they  did  Gus    Strauss'  admirers. 

San  Luis  Rey  won  the  last  nice  quite  easily,  but  slumbliny

Imp.  Percy  was  a  hot  favorite  in  the  second  race,  six  and 
one-half  furlongs,  selling.  Zampost  was  backed  down  from 
3A  to  2  to  1.  Middleton  was  at  3  to  1.  Middleton  was  first 
away,  Zampost  second,  Percy  third.  At  the  half-pole  Mid- 
dleton was  leading  Zampost  a  head,  the  latter  being  ridden 
hard,  and  Percy  was  third,  five  lengths  in  front  of  Dr.  Ross. 
Middleton  now  made  his  run,  and  leading  Zampost  three 
lengths  three  furlongs  from  home  and  four  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch,  came  on  and  won  easily  by  two  lengths.  Dr. 
Ross  gradually  improved  his  position,  and  in  the  straight

Alesia  was  favorite  in  the  fourth  event,  about  six  furlongs, 
for  three-year-olds.  Road  Runner,  Realization  and  Romulus 
were  at  G  to  2,  Thornhill  at  8  to  1,  Amida  at  15.  There 
was  considerable  cutting  up  at  the  post,  and  finally  the  flag 
was  lowered  to  an  excellent  start,  the  order  being  Thornhill, 
Road  Runner,  Alesia.  Realization  was  sent  along  at  a  great 
rate,  and  at  the  half-pole  he  was  a  length  to  the  good,  Romu- 
lus second,  a  head  from  Alesia.  Road  Runner  soon  ran  up 
second,  behind  Realization,  and  Alesia  was  still  third  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch.  Here  Thornhill  was  a  poor  sort  of 
fourth.  Road  Runner  was  first  into  the  straight  by  a  head, 
Realization  second,  Alesia  third,  lapped  by  Thornhill,  who 
was  coming  fast.  Road  Runner  an  eighth  from  home  was 
two  lengths  lo  the  good  and  apparently  an  easy  winner.  He 
made  a  slight  swerve  near  home,  and  Thornhill  came  out  of 
the  bunch  like  a  shot  and  nipped  him  on  the  post  by  a 
head,  Realization  third.two  lengths  away.    Time,  1:18}.

Ed  Corrigan's  colt,  Gus  Strauss,  was  an  odds-on  favorite  in 
thiB  race,  which  was  half  a  mile.  Han  ford  was  well  played 
at  2  and  21  to  1.  After  a  long  delay  the  flag  was  lowered  to 
a  poor  start.  Gus  Strauss  was  perhaps  two  lengths  in  front 
of  anything  else  and  well  under  way,  while  Gasser  was  all 
but  left  at  the  post.  In  a  twinkling  Gus  Strauss  was  six  or 
seven  lengths  in  front  of  Sweet,  the  second  horse,  the  rest 
strung  out.  Diggs  and  Han  ford  came  from  the  rear,  and, 
Blriking  the  homestretch  four  lengths  behind  Gus  Strauss, 
who  quit  like  a  dog,  Diggs  came  with  the  rush  of  a  rare

THIRTY-SECOND   DAY — SATURDAY.  FEBRUARY  1~TH. 

Excitement  reigned  supreme  to-day.  There  were  several 
kinds.  One  species  was  over  the  racing,  the  other  over  a 
row  between  Starter  Ferguson  and  Jockey  Willie  Spence, 
the  last-named  being  ruled  ofT  for  life  for  striking  the  wielder 
of  the  flag  and  using  abusive  language.  On  the  heels 
of  this  young  Spence  was  arrested  on  a  battery  charge 
and  released  immediately  on  giving  bonds  for  his  ap- 
pearance. He  wanted  to  have  Mr.  Ferguson  arrested 
on  the  same  charge,  but  there  was  enough  influence  at 
the  back  of  the  starter  to  prevent  this.  On  returning  to  the 
course  after  being  released  on  bonds,  Spence  was  put  up  by  Or- 
ville  Appleby,  his  employer,  lo  warm  the  filly  Fortuna  up.  For 
this  Mr.  Appleby  was  fined  $100,  but  claimed  that  under  the 
rules  he  was  entitled  to  Spence's  services  for  that  day.  The 
judges,  however,  refused  to  remit  the  fine.  There  are  two 
sides  to  this  story  of  the  trouble  between  Starter  Ferguson 
and  Spence,  and  we  shall  give  both,  remarking,  in  this  con- 
nection, though,  that  the  boy's  story  is  backed  up  by  very 
many  jockeys  and  stable  attaches  who  claimed  to  be  present, 
while  Mr.  Ferguson's  side  is  vouched  for  by  some  friends  who 
say  they  were  there. 

Spence  declares  that  Mr.  Ferguson  fined  him  $25  at  ihe 
post  for  breaking  off  in  front  with  Conde,  and  that  when  the 
colt  won  he  (Spence)  upon  his  return  to  the  jockeys'  room  re- 
marked, in  effect,  that  he  made  that  winning  ride  for  noth- 
ing. Mr.  Ferguson,  he  says,  was  near  at  hand,  and  thought 
he  had  made  some  remark  derogatory  to  him.  Whereupon 
he  called  Spence  a  vile  name  and  kicked  him  in  the  abdomen. 
The  jockey  says  he  retaliated  by  striking  the  starter  in  the 
face  with  his  right  hand,  and  then  they  were  separated,  each 
applying  vile  epithets.  Upon  Mr.  Ferguson  reporting  the 
occurrence  to  the  Board  of  Stewards  they  summoned  Spence, 
and  he  again  cursed  the  starter  roundly,  whereupon  he  was 
ruled  off  for  life. 

Mr.  Ferguson's  side  of  the  story  is  that  upon  returning  to 
thejockeys'  room  to  register  the  tine  Spence  called  him  vile 
names,  and  he  pushed  him  out  of  the  room,  but  did  not  kick 
the  boy.  Spence  then  struck  him  in  the  face,  and  he  re- 
ported the  occurrence  to  the  stewards,  who  acted  upon  the 
matter  at  once. 

As  there  are  witnesses  to  support  both  stories,  it  only  re- 
mains for  us  to  give  them  as  related  to  us. 

The  racing  to-day  was  good,  as  was  the  attendance,  though 
the  same  could  not  be  said  of  the  track.  Favorites  were  very 
successful,  though,  winning  four  of  the  five  "events.  Conde 
won  with  Spence  looking  back  and  giving  his  pursuers  the 
laugh.  He  led  all  the  way.  Dr.  Ross  made  up  a  lot  of  ground, 
and  was  a  good  second. 

Gussie  led  nearly  all  the  way  in  the  second  race,  and  won 
handily  by  a  length  from  the  heavily-played  Malcolm,  who 
was  backed  down  from  10  to  5  to  1.  Leveller,  with  7  pounds 
less  than  when  he  won  easily  on  Thurday,  ran  very  poorly 
and  was  third.  Nearly  all  the  horses  in  the  Walter  &  Dargen 
stables  are  either  io-and-outers  or  the  owners  are,  and  it 
might  not  be  a  bad  idea  to  give  these  folks  a  warning.  One 
Dime,  Ja  Ja,  Red  Root  and  Leveller  have  certainly  run  very 
inconsistently  in  San  Francisco. 

Marigold  won  the  Palace  Hotel  Stakes  for  the  popular 
tnrfman,  Matt  Storn,  by  the  narrowest  margin 
imaginable  from  Zobair,  though  from  the  press  stand 
it  looked  to  all  as  if  the  latter  had  won  the  uneven  stride,  and 
the  judges  only  were  able  to  decide  the  matter.  That  Leigh 
lost  the  race  on  Zobair  through  overconfidence  is  certain, 
however.  The  colt  looked  an  easy  winner  a  sixteenth  from 
home,  and  Leigh  was  sitting  still  on  Zobair. 

The  steeplechase  went  to  Jacobin,  the  favorite.  Red 
Cloud  was  ridden  too  hard  by  Kiddj  and  when  he  struck  the 
regular  track  first  by  four  lengths  had  nothing  to  finish  on, 
Wild  Oats  beating  him  out  for  place. 

The  last  race  of  the  day  was  run  in  a  dense  fog.  Trix,  the 
favorite,  was  first  away,  but  Semele  was  in  front  ere  forty 
yards  had  been  run,  and  not  thereafter  headed,  won  easily 
by  four  lengths  from  Artist,  who  was  two  from  Johnny 
Payne. 

Spence,  Peters,  Taylor,  Blakeley  and  Carr  were  the  suc- 
cessful pilots  to-day,  Taylor  and  Blakeley  especially  distin- 
guishing themselves.

fell  back,  and  Dr.  Ross  was  second  into  the  homestretch,  two 
lengths  behind  Conde  and  a  length  from  Fisher.  Conde  was 
not  headed,  and  won  with  Spence  looking  around,  laughing,

The  Slorn  stable  (Centella  and  Marigold)  were  favorites 
for  the  Palace  Hotel  Stakes,  mile  and  an  eighth.  Sir  Reel 
was  next  in  demand  at  2jV  tu  1,  backed  down  from  4  to  1. 
Oakland  was  played  from  6's  down  to  4's.  Garcia  cut  up 
badly  at  the  post,  and  then  Sir  Keel  got  mulish,  delaying  the 
start  over  half  an  hour.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  fair  send- 
off,  Sir  Reel,  however,  plowing  away  in  the  deep  going  on 
the  outside.  Centella  led  by  half  a  length  at  the  quarter,  Zo- 
bair second,  a  head  from  Oakland,  on  whom  Marigold  was 
lapped,  Sir  Reel  last  of  all,  sulking  along  in  the  rear  and  al- 
ready out  of  it.  Garcia  soon  ran  up  third,  and  there  was 
little  change  among  the  others  to  note.  Zobair  led  into  the 
homestretch  by  half  a  length,  Centella  second,  two  lengths 
from  Oakland,  then  Marigold  and  Garcia,  close  upon  Oakland. 
Zobair  looked  all  over  a  winner,  once  they  were  straightened 
out,  but  Marigold  was  being  cut  loose,  and  under  Taylor's 
vigorous  riding  was  gaining  at  a  great  rate.  Leigh  almost 
went  to  sleep  on  Zobair,  and  woke  up  too  late,  for  Marigold 
got  up  in  the  very  last  stride  and  won  by  a  nose,  Zobair  sec-

9  to  5  Red  Cloud  went  out  like  a  wild  horse,  Kidd  riding 
him  hard  and  sending  the  horse  along  like  a  shot.  He  led  by

got  to  within  four  lengths  of  Red  Cloud  as  they  came  into

Trix,  Flurry,  La  Reina,  Happy  Band,  Fortuna,  Bordeaux,  The 
Lark  and  Morveu  also  ran. 

iWinner  trained  by  J.  Robbins.] 
Trix  was  backed  into  favoritism  in  the  last  race,  Morven 
being  a  strong  second  choice.  Semele  was  at  from  12  to  15 
to  1.  The  Lark  was  played  as  if  it  were  all  over  at  5  and  6 
to  1.  A  heavy  fog  prevailed,  and  the  horses  could  not  be  seen 
distinctly.  Semele,  fourth  away,  was  in  front  ere  forty  yards 
had  been  run,  and  was  not  thereafter  headed,  winning  easily 
by  three  lengths  from  Artist,  who  was  two  lengths  from 
Johnny  Payne,  Trix  fourth.     Time,  l:18f. 

English  and  American  Sires. 


January  11th  we  published  a  table  of  the  winnings  of  the 
get  of  the  leading  thoroughbred  sires  in  America.  Thess 
consisted  often  whose  respective  credited  amounts  were  above 
$50,000.  The  list  of  the  winnings  of  the  get  of  the  principal 
sires  of  last  season  in  England  is  of  interest.  Of  this  list  we 
give  below  those— seven  in  number — whose  winnings  in 
1893  were  over  $45,000.  As  will  be  seen,  St.  Simon  heads 
the  list,  which  relative  position  he  has  maintiined  for  four 
years,  his  greatest  year  being  1S92,  when  his  get  recorded 
$279,957.  That  was  the  jubilee  year.  Isonomy's  winnings 
winnings  have  been  rather  unequal ;  in  1890  he  had  credited 
to  him  $46,675.  Galopin  had  $22,758  credited  in  1889.  Wis- 
dom (dead)  had  $102,2S0  iu  1890,  and  Bend  Or  had  $33,555 
in  1893  and  over  $85,000  in  1S92.  The  table  attached  is  of 
some  interest,  as  it  shows  that,  in  an  average  year,  the  win- 
nings of  American  sires  compare  favorably  with  their  English 
contemporaries  ;

nole  that  we  have  decided-on  the  following  dates  foroursji 
meetings : 

Anaconda,  July  12lh  to  28lh  (6fteen  days). 

Butte,  August  1st  to  23d  (twenty  days). 

Helena  is  reported  as  following  with  seven  days  from  At 
25th  to  September  lat,  and  Bozeman  (a  new  city  in  the 
cuit)  will  probably  directly  follow  with  a  week. 

These  dates  will  bring  us  in  direct  connection  with  I' 
land  meeting  on  one  end  and  with  Denver  and  Salt  Lak<f 
the  other. 

Programmes  will  be  published  this  week. 

Our  circuit  is  so  well  known   to  the  horsemen  of  Califoi" 
that  comment  is  unnecessary,  unless  I  should  add  that  we 
ticipate  the  most  successful  meetings  yet  held.    Yours,

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


THIRTY-THIRD  DAY — TUESDAY,  FEBRUARY  20TH. 

UTSIDERS  were  right  in  the  hunt 
this  uncertain-looking  afternoon. 
6  to  1,  5  to  1  and  25  to  1  shots 
won  races,  while  two  favorites 
were  successful.  The  pencilers 
therefore  had  a  shade  the  best  of 
the  monetary  argument.  What 
3.  course  to  run  over  was  the  one 
of  to-day  !  It  was  deep  in  slushy 
mud,  perhaps  faster  than  if  the 
sun  had  shone  on  it  for  a  day  or 
two,  but  still  bad  enough  to  try  the  hearts  of  the  various 
contestants.  The  successful  jockeys  were  E.  Jonw,  F.  Carr, 
Bozeman  and  Leigh,  the  latter  adding  two  victories  to  his  al- 
ready long  list. 

Norlee,  at  6  tol,  with  Ty-potrnds-Rnd  little  Jones  in  the 
saddle,  ran  with  Rosie  P.  until  near  the  final  turn,  when  she 
came  away  and  opened  up  a  big  gap  in  the  homestretch.  In 
the  last  seventy-five  yards  she  died  away  badly,  and  Annie 
Moore  got  within  three  parts  of  a  length  of  the  Hall  filly  at 
the  close.  Malcolm  was  a  poor  sort  of  third  and  Eosie  P., 
who  quit  badly  in  the  straight,  finished  fifth,  behind  the 
Premium  filly.  Pennyroyal,  played  for  all  kinds  of  coin,  was 
never  in  the  hunt.  This  result  of  this  race  was  a  hard  facer 
for  the  talent. 

Semele  (sister  to  Crawford)  more  than  made  Schreiber  even 
for  the  Pennyroyal  defeat,  in  all  probability.  The  filly  led 
all  the  way  and  won  very  easily  from  the  badly  punished 
Johnny  Payne,  who,  by  the  way,  ran  in  Zeke  Abraham's  col- 
ors for  the  first  time.  Morven,  third,  was  beaten  a  block. 
Semele  and  Morven  divided  favoritism  at  2  to  1,  though  the 
latter  opened  favorite.    Trix  ran  poorly  in  this  race. 

Koyal  Flush  outgamed  Zaragoza  in  the  third  event.  As 
they  swung  into  the  homestretch  it  looked  "  a  moral "  for  ihe 
last  named,  but  Koyal  Flush,  under  strong  urging,  gradually 
gained,  and  won  a  good  race  by  a  head.  It  was  nip-and- 
tuck  between  the  pair  up  to  the  last  two  strides.  Oakland 
was  third,  but  a  poor  one,  while  Blizzard,  the  favorite,  fin- 
ishtd  fourth.  He  was  not  dangerous  at  any  point.  Zampost 
ran  well  for  about  tbree  furlongs,  and  then  dropped  back  so 
badly  that  he  was  last  at  the  wind-up. 

Southern  Lady,  Folly  and  Democrat  were  played  well 
in  tbe  fourth  race,  ranking  about  as  named.  Hercules,  who 
was  as  good  as  25  to  1  in  some  books,  got  away  in  front  and 
was  not  even  closely  approached  at  anytime  on  the  journey, 
winning  easily  by  five  lengths.  Folly,  fourth  into  the  home- 
stretch, outran  Guadaloupe  and  Southern  Lady  in  the 
straight,  beating  the  latter  a  nose  for  place  in  a  hard  drive, 
with  Guadaloupe  knocking  at  the  door. 

Ravine  ran  head-and-head  wish  Resurrection  until  Hear- 
ing the  homestretch  when  the  latter  fell  back  and  Silver 
Plate  and  Red  Chief  moved  up.  Resurrection  staggered  and 
fell  about  sixty  yards  from  the  finish,  Emanuel  Morris, 
his  rider,  having  quite  a  narrow  escape.  It  was  found 
the  poor  beast's  shoulder  was  broken, and  he  was  shot  in  order 
to  end  his  misery.  Ravine  went  on  and  won  easily  by  a 
length  from  Red  Chief,  who  was  five  lengths  from  the 
whipped-out  Silver  Plate.  Red  Chief  got  away  very  poorly, 
or  the  result  would  probably  have  read  :  "  Red  Chief  first, 
Ravine  second."  Resurrection,  the  horse  that  was  killed,  was 
by  St.  Saviour  from  Lowlander's  dam,  imp.  Restless,  by  Orest. 
He  bad  a  lot  of  speed,  and  was  fas:  getting  into  fine  form.  He 
was  owned  by  the  young  horsemen,  Charley  Ambrose  and 
M.  Mulcahy,  who  purchased  him  at  the  recent   Guenoc  sale

THIRTY-FOURTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY  21. 

Favorites  did  fairly  well  this  afternoon,  tbree  of  them  win 
ning  and  another  running  second,  beaten  but  a  neck.  The 
bookmakers  did  not,  therefore,  fare  very  well,  at  the  hands 
of  the  public.  Especially  hard  was  Rube  Burrows  played 
in  the  last  race,  which  he  won  easily.  The  day  was  a  most 
beautiful  one,  the  sun  shining  brightly  on  a  course  that  was 
slower  than  the  proverbial  snail,  being  deep  in  sticky  mud 
and  actually  dangerous  in  some  places.  H.  Hill,  Bozeman, 
C.  Weber,  Chevalier  and  F.  Carr  were  the  successful  pilots 
this  afternoon,  the  ride  of  Charley  Weber  on  Annie  Moore 
being  especially  praiseworthy. 

Diggs  won  the  opening  race  in  a  big  gallop  by  two  lengths 
while  Peter  Weber's  grand-looking  filly,  Sunrise,  half-sister 
to  El  Rayo,  got  the  place,  beating  Zephyr  ten  lengths  for  the 
show.  The  last  named,  the  first  of  El  Rio  Rey's  get  to  race,  i 
aslashing  big  chestnut  filly,  and  a  good  one,  too.  She  got  away 
last,  and  her  rider,  a  stable  boy  named  Goodwin,  pulled  her 
up,  probably  thinking  it  no  go.  When  he  discovered  his  mis- 
take he  was  about  twelve  lengths  behind  the  bunch,  and  the 
run  she  made  to  get  the  show  was  a  phenomenal  one. 

Conde  led  in  the  second  race  from  flag-fall  to  finished,  Dr. 
Ross. getting  the  place  by  several  lengths,  though  whipped 
out.    Sir  Charles,  played  for  thousands,  was  third. 

Annie  Moore  beat  Hal  Fisher,  a  1  to  3  shot,  a  neck,  very 
cleverly.  The  favorite  led  until  well  straightened  out  in  the 
homestretch,  and  Charley  Weber,  on  Annie  Moore,  clearly 
outrode  Leigh  at  the  finish,  to  which  fact  can  probably  be 
attributed  the  daughter  of  Regent's  victory. 

Monarch,  with  the  best  of  the  send-off,  managed  to  win  by 
less  than  a  length  from  Folly,  who  was  gaining  very  fast  at 
the  close.  Little  Tough  got  the  show.  Jennie  Deane  was 
the  favorite,  and  ran  np  like  a  flash  after  getting  away 
poorly.  The  effort  cost  her  dearly,  for  she  fell  back  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch  and  yas  fourth  at  the  wind-up. 

Rube  Burrows,  played  with  all  kinds  of  money,  waited  on 
Flagstaff  until  nearing  the  stretch,  where  he  came  to  the 
front  and  won  easily  by  three  lengths  from  Gilead,  who  came 
from  the  rear  in  the  final  quarter.  Stiver  Plate  got  third 
place  from  Nellie  G.  by  a  head  because  Charley  Webermade 
a  splendid  finish.

THIRTY-FIFTH  DAY — THURSDAY,  FERCARY  22. 

Interesting  indeed  was  the  racing  this  pleasant  afternooa 
It  was  made  so  by  the  mowing  down  of  three  warm  favorites 
and  a  long  chapter  of  accidents  in  the  steeplechase.  The 
course  was  fast  drying  up,  but  the  clay  in  the  homestretch 
was  still  wet  and  deep  enough  to  anchor  a  faint-hearted 
horse.  There  was  a  marked  contrast  in  tbe  condition  of  the 
steeplechase  and  regular  courses,  so  far  as  the  regular  home- 
stretch and  inside  course  alongside  were  concerned  and  it 
looks  very  much  as  if  the  clay  should  be  taken  off  the  home- 
stretch without  delay. 

The  first  race  was  simply  a  gallop  for  Londonville,  who 
won  by  eight  lengths  from  Lodi.  Twang,  who  was  heavily 
played,  was  a  poor  third. 


Zaragoza  scooped  in  the  second  race  easily,  although  he 
was  lame  just  before  the  start.  Georgetown,  the  favorite, 
finished  fourth.  Dr.  Ross,  last  away,  ran  second — a  good  per- 
formance. 

Zobair  won  the  Baldwin  Theatre  Stakes  very  handily.  He 
waited  on  Gussie  until  nearing  the  homestretch,  when 
he  came  to  the  front  in  great  shape,  superbly  rid- 
den, as  he  was,  by  Charley  Weber.  Wild  wood, 
the  favorite,  and  played  for  thousands,  finished 
the  poorest  kind  of  a  fifth.  Centella  got  the  place,  but  her 
stable-mate.  Marigold,  stumbled  a  little  over  an  eighth  from 
the  start,  and  came  painfully  lipming  back  to  tbe  stand. 

The  steeplechase  was  one  of  the  most  exciting,  mixed-up 
affairs  on  record,  Yokobl  and  St.  Croix  falling  "Red  Cloud 
running  around  one  of  the  jumps  and  Zampost  going  the 
wrong  course.  Finally  they  all  finished,  and  Wild  Oats  won. 
The  place  was  awarded  to  St.  Croix,  ridden  in  by  another 
jockey,  while  Zampost  got  third  roooey. 

Xormaodie,  in  the  last  race,  waited  on  Malcolm  until  the 
homestretch  was  reached,  then  outran  him  and  won  very 
cleverly  by  a  length,  little  Weber  outriding  Madison.

The  steeplechase,  short  course,  had  five  starters.  Red 
Cloud,  with  Blakeley  up,  was  a  red-hot  favorite  at  3  to  5. 
Wild  Oats,  at  2  and  2\  to  1,  next  in  demand.  St.  Croix  was 
at  5,  Zampost  10  and  Yokohl  50  to  1*  This  race  will  long 
linger  in  tbe  memory  of  our  race-goers-.  One  accident  after 
another  occurred,  but  every  horse  in  the  race  finished.  Red 
Cloud,  St.  Croix,  Zampost  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Red 
Cloud,  first  by  two  lengths,  ran  out  to  the  side  and  did  not 
clear  the  first  jump.  St.  Cx  ix  was  second,  five  lengths  from 
Zampost.  Red  Cloud  led  over  tbe  next  two  jumps  by  about 
three  lengths,  while  St.  Croix  at  the  third  had  opened  up  ten 
lengths  on  Zampost,  who  was  a  head  from  Yokohl,  Wild 
Oats  trailing  a  couple  of  lengths  further  back.  At  tbe  water 
jump  Red  Cloud  was  first  bv  two  lengths,  St.  Croix  second  by 
five  lengths,  Zampost  third,  a  length  from  Wild  Oats,  who 
was  now  being  urged  along,  ^sear  the  starting  point  oc  the 
steeplechase  course  Red  Cloud  quit  and  ran  out,  and  St. 
Croix  at  once  opened  up  a  big  gap,  being  seven  lengths  to  the 
good  at  the  next  jump  (where  Yokohl  fell)  and  ten  at  the  far 
center-field  obstacle,  where  Zampost  was  second,  four  lengths 
from  Wild  Oats,  he  ten  lengths  from  Red  Cioud.  Both  Zam- 
post and  Wild  Oats  gained  fast  going  up  the  hill,  reaching 
the  summit  of  which  Zampost  went  the  wrong  course,  St. 
Croix  striking  the  regular  track  ten  lengths  to  the  good.  Here 
Wild  Oats  gained  at  every  stride,  and  when  they  were  well 
straightened  out  was  but  a  couple  of  lengths  to  the  bad.  St. 
Croix  was  about  a  length  in  front  at  the  last  obstacle,  which 
he  ran  into  and  turned  a  somersault,  throwing  Mclnerney 
heavily.  Wild  Oats  went  on  and  won  by  about  a  sixteenth 
of  a  mile,  Red  Cloud  thundering  in  a  few  moments  later. 
Then  some  young  man  in  ordinary  attire  got  up  on  St.  Croix 
and  rode  him  in,  he  being  several  pounds  heavier  than 
Mclnerney.  Zampost  had  by  this  time  been  turned  back  by 
Kidd,  and  going  over  the  pioper  course,  came  in  only  a  few 
lengths  behind,  with  his  weight  up.  Soon  thereafter  Yokohl 
finished.  Then  the  question  came  up  as  to  who  was  entitled 
to  place  and  show  money.  After  the  patrol  judge  reported 
that  Red  Cloud  did  not  go  over  the  first  obstacle  at  all  and  it 
was  ascertained  that  St.  Croix  bad  brought  in  even  more  than 
140  pounds  the  judges  olaced  them  :  Wild  Oats  first,  St. 
Croix  second,  Zampost  third.     The  time  was  3:36$.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


Omaha  is  to  have  a  new  mile  track   for  which  $40,000  has 
been  raised. 


What  association  will  break  the  ice  this  year  by  giving  a 
few  races,  trotting  and  pacing,  to  saddle? 

John  A.  Goldsmith  has  Gen.  Turner's  old  pupil,  H.  C. 
T.,  2:17i,  in  bis  stable  at   Walnut  Grove. 

A.  B.  Spreckles  has  two  Eros  fillies  that  are  cracker- 
jack  s  and  will  be  seen  on  the  circuit  nest  year. 

It  is  said  that  wealthy  horsemen  of  Duluth,  Minn.,  have 
made  W.  Perry  Taylor  an  offer  of  $10,000  for  Mascot,  2:04. 

The  brother  of  Palo  Alio,  who  took  a  record  of  2:282, 
under  the  name  of  Paola  has  been  registered  as  Lone  Pine. 

Harrietta,  2:09},  the  money-making  queen  of  the  year, 
has  been  turned  out  near  Lexington.  She  will  be  bred  to 
Alcantara.  

Nelson,  2:09,  and  Allerton,  2:09  J,  are  the  only  two  trotters 
in  the  2:10  list  tbat  were  given  their  records  by  the  men  who 
bred  them.  

George  Starr  will  campaign  the  fast  gelding  3.  R.,  2:18}, 
by  Almonarch  this  year.  S.  R.  stepped  a  mile  close  to  2:11 
in  a  race  last  season. 

The  activity  noticeable  amongtrotting  horsemen  this  year 
in  California  argues  well  for  the  success  of  the  various  meet- 
ings to  be  held  this  year. 

Is  the  list  of  entries  for  the  fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H. 
B.  A.,  the  entry  of  Benton  Boy  for  2:30  pace,  should  have  been 
Benton  Boy  for  2:20  pace. 

An  epidemic  of  distemper  has  been  working  its  way 
through  the  stock  of  many  of  our  stock  farms,  but  very  few 
cases  have  resulted  fatally. 

Don't  forget  the  fact  that  entries  for  the  additional  purses 
of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  will  close  next  Thursday,  March  1st, 
and  this  is  the  last  notification. 


A  sale  of  choice  trotting  stock  will  take  place  to-day  at 
Redwood  city.  Among  a  number  of  other  good  ones  to  be 
sold  is  the  stallion  Reverisco,  by  Hermes. 


The  Cleveland  stallion  Patron,  that  made  his  record  of 
2:14}  to  a  high-wheeled  sulky,  will  be  given  a  chance  to  see 
how  much  faster  he  can  go  hooked  to  a  bike. 

The  need  of  good  roads  was  never  more  strongly  impressed 
upon  our  friends  in  the  country  than  at  present.  The  late 
storm  has  rendered  many  of  the  highways  almost  impassable. 

(.'has.  James  is  doing  very  nicely  with  the  colts  and  fillies 
at  Salisbury's,  and  among  the  lot  are  several  that  are  fast 
enough  to  make  him  wish  he  was  on  the  grand  cfrcuit  now. 

Alice  Drake,  by  Alexander's  Norman,  is  in  foal  to  Uh- 
lan, the  son  of  Artillery  and  Kitty  Patchen.  She  is  the  dam 
of  Norman  Medium,  2:20,  and  others,  and  is  twenty-six  years 
old.  

The  new  Vol.  XII  of  the  Trotting  Register  contains,  at  a 
conservative  estimate,  over  14,000  pedigrees,  exclusive  of  the 
"  corrections  and  transfers."  We  will  have  copies  for  sale 
next  week.  

It  is  a  great  art  to  save  a  horse's  strength  without  reduc- 
ing the  service.  Trotting  through  sandy  or  muddy  places 
and  on  rising  grades  exhausts  a  horse  rapidly.  In  such 
places  go  slow. 

Few  colts  bred  have  the  blood,  speed  and  individuality  to 
entitle  them  to  be  kept  in  the  stud.  And  yet  two-thirds  of 
the  men  in  the  horse  business  keep  their  colts  entire  and  lose 
money  in  consequence. 

W.  C.  Hellman,  of  Santa  Rosa,  sold  the  six-year  old  mare 
Ella  H.,  by  Anteeo,  dam  by  Nutwood,  to  G.  M.  Alexander  of 
193  Adams  street,  Chicago.  Terms  private.  She  will  be  in 
Salisbury's  string  this  year. 

Lynd,  dam  of  Sidwood,  2:16,  and  Judge  G.,  2:2H,  bred  by 
Judge  W.  E.  Greene,  of  Oakland,  Cal.,  is  in  foal  to  Directum. 
She  was  bought  at  the  Valentin  Bale,  in  New  Yoak,  last  fall, 
by  G.  A.  Litchfield,  Braiotree. 

Witch  Hazel  Breeding  Farm  has  lost  two  valuable  fil- 
lies during  the  past  week.  One  is  the  daughter  of  Hamble- 
tonian  Mambrino  and  the  mother  of  Vanquish,  2:19,  and  the 
other  by  Noonday  out  of  mother  of  Altao,  2:17J.

Brooks  Curry  sold  the  Electioneer  stallion  Bernal,  2:17, 
at  a  large  advance  upon  the  price  at  which  hepurchaeed  him 
at  the  Lexington  sale.  Bernal  is  now  owned  by  N.  E.  Rhodes

It  is  stated  on  good  authority  that  there  will  be  more 
double  teams  eligible  to  trot  in  2:30  at  the  races  this  year 
than  was  ever  known  before.  It  will  pay  the  association  lo

for  single  roadsb's,  race  for  double  teams,  races  for  tandem 
teams  and  for  four-in-hands.     Wouldn't  this  be  exciting. 


A  new  definition  for  "veterinary  surgeon"  has  been  laid 
down  and  accepted  in  a  Cleveland  court  where  a  colored  rub- 
ber was  on  the  witness  stand  and  stated  that  his  business  was 
that  of  veterinary  surgeon.  Asked  what  his  duties  consisted 
of  he  replied,  "  Clipping  horses,  mostly."

"  Doc  "  Williams,  of  San  Jose,  one  of  the  foremost  trot- 
ting horse  trainers  of  the  State,  arrived  in  Salinas  yesterday 
to  take  charge  of  the  trotters  and  pacers  on  the  stock  farm  of 
J.  B.  Iverson.  Mr.  Iverson  has  some  well-bred  and  very 
promising  young  stock  that  under  the  direction  of  Mr.  Will- 
iams will  no  doubt  develop  into  speedy  campaigners.— Jour-

Harry  Agnew,  proprietor  of  the  Agnew  Stock  Farm,  has 
a  number  of  choicely  bred  colts  and  fillies  that  are  speedy, 
which  he  will  sell  for  very  low  prices.  Among  them  is  the 
three -year-old  colt  Stratford  Dawn,  by  Dawn,  2:18|,  out  of 
Clara  P.,  2:29.  This  youngster  as  a  yearling  trotted  quarters 
in  forty-one  seconds  and  ts  entered  in  stake  engagements  for 
1S94  amounting  to  $56,500. 


K.  0:Grady  will  stand  his  splendidly  bred  stallion,  Hart 
Boswell,  for  $50  this  season.  Hart  Boswell  is  by  Onward, 
2:25},  out  of  Nancy  Lee  (dam  of  Nancy  Hanks.  2:04  and  Dic- 
tator Wilkes  5231,  sire  of  two  in  the  list),  by  Dictator  ;  sec- 
ond dam  Sophy,  the  famous  broodmare  by  Edwin  Forrest  49,

give  this  horse  a  record. 


About  the  latter  part  of  May  or  the  first  of  June,  the 
owners  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  intend  to  hold  one  of 
the  largest  sales  of  trotting  stock  ever  held  in  California.  As 
there  are  representatives  from  all  the  most  fashionable  trot- 
ting families  in  America  on  this  place,  seekers  after  first-class 
material  will  have  opportunities  of  securing  youngsters  at  low 
figures  that  will  be  deemed  invaluable  two  years  hence.  The 
Pierce  Bros,  have  been  liberal  buyers  and"  bred  their  mares 
judiciously. 

James  W.  Rea,  the  owner  of  Linda  Oakes,  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15},  dam  Yadrell,  by  Nutwood,  2:18£,  and  R.  D.  Fox,  the 
owner  of  Mt.  Hope,  by  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18,  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15],  dam  a  full  sister  to  Chancellor,  2:21,  have  dropped  the 
negotiations  which  were  so  long  pending  for  a  match  race 
between  these  promising  animals.  Mr.  Rea  has  decided  to 
mate  Linda  Oakes  with  Iran  Alto,  by  Palo  Alto,  2:08f,  dam 
Elaine,  2:20.  Mr.  Fox  will  place  Mt.  Hope  in  the  stud.  As 
these  gentlemen  have  done  a  good  deal  of  talking  about  this 
proposed  race,  it  is  rumored  that  they  have  agreed  to  celebrate 
the  dropping  of  the  contest  by  uniting  in  giving  a  dinner  to 
a  number  of  their  friends  in  the  near  future. — Mercury. 


It  is  reported  tbat  Lew  Simmons  is  about  to  establish  a 
public  stable  at  Agricultural  Park,  and  that  his  string  will 
include  the  following  from  the  Agnew  Stock  Farm,  viz.: 
Twenty-Third,  by  Director,  dam  Nettie  Nutwood,  by  Nut- 
wood, 2:185,  dam  of  Hillsdale,  2:24}  ;  Irish  Lassie  (p),  by  St. 
Patrick,  2:14J,  dam  Aurelia,  by  Albert  W.,  2:20,  the  sire  of 
Little  Alberrt,  2:10;  Stratford  Dawn,  by  Dawn,  2:18^  dam 
Clara  P.,  2:291,  by  Mambrino  Wilkes,  sire  of  Balkan,  2:15; 
Santheresa,  a  three-year-old  bay  stallion  by  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18, 
be  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  dam  Lyla  A.,  by  Arthurton,  sire  of 
Joe  Arthurton,  2:20 — a  full  sister  io  this  colt  was  sold  as  a 
yearling  to  Marcus  Daly  for  $2,600;  a  two-year-old  by  Dawn, 
2:18J,  dam  Maud,  2:20,  the  dam  of  Boswell  Jr.,  2:19,  and  To 
Order,  2:113,  by  Thistle,  2.-14J,  by  Sidney,  2:19$. 


Wm.  Corbitt's  fine  stallion  Lynwood,  that  as  a  two-year- 
old  with  very  little  preparatory  work  got  a  mark  of  2:20£, 
has  grown  into  a  strongly  built,  evenly  made  four-year- 
old,  aod  will  be  sent  to  John  A.  Goldsmith  this  year.  He 
has  been  running  out  io  the  rich  paddocks  on  the  San  Mateo 
Stock  Farm  and  it  will  take  a  little  time  to  get  him  in  order. 
He  is  by  Guy  Wilkes  out  of  Lindale,  by  a  horse  called  Sultan 
Jr.,  an  inbred  mare,  for  his  sire  was  Sultan  out  of  May 
Sproul  by  The  Moor,  second  dam  by  Belmont.  Sultan  Jr. 
was  full  brother  to  Margaret  2:28  (dam  of  Regal  Wilkes, 
2:11:1)  and  was  sold  by  Mr.  Corbitt  to  Australian  horsemen. 
Lynwood's  second  dam  was  Flora  Pierson,  a  mare  that  trotted 
in  double  harness  in  2:33  and  in  a  trial  singly  in  2:26.  She 
was  by  General  McClellan  1:44  (sire  of  Dan  Voorhees  2:23} 
and  others),  third  dam  s  t  b  by  Langford,  son  of  William- 
son's Belmont.  Lynwood  carries  a  double  infusion  of  the 
blood  of  Williamson's  Belmont,  two  crosses  of  the  blood  of 
The  Moor,  then  on  top  of  all  this  the  great  Wilkes-Mambrino 
Patchen  cross. 

Direct  is  taking  kindly  to  his  work,  and  already  a  great 
change  is  noticeable  in  his  appearance.  His  overload  of  fat 
is  being  removed  and  his  legs  are  standing  well,  consider- 
ing the  fact  that  early  in  his  three-year-old  form  he  wore  as 
high  as  31  ounces  of  shoe,  toe  weight,  quarter  boot  and  rolls 
combined.  This  was  required  to  make  him  trot,  as  the  pace 
was  his  natural  gait.  As  he  trained  on  the  weight  came  off. 
When  he  made  his  three-year-old  record  of  2:23  he  had  but 
18  ounces  on  each  forward  foot,  a  14-ounce  shoe,  and  a  4- 
ouncetoe  weight.  He  began  work  as  a  four  year-old  with  24 
ounces  on,  but  this  was  reduced  with  each  set  of  shoes  until 
when  he  made  his  trotting  record  of  2:18}  at  Sacramento, 
Oil ,  September  19,  1889,  he  had  on  the  same  old  14-ounce 
shoes  and  4  ounce  weights.  When  at  Stockton  the  next  week 
he  was  at  Palo  Alto's  side  in  2:16]  Direct  wore  16  ounces  on 
each  foot,  13-ounce  shoes,  and  when  removed  they  weighed 
11  ounces,  4-ounce  weights  and  3  ounces  for  boots  and  rollB. 
As  a  pacer  Direct  wears  but  an  8-ounce  shoe.  Direct  is  six 
years  old,  by  Director,  2:17,  the  gamest  trotter  that  ever 
came  to  California,  not  excepting  Palo  AltOj  out  of  Echora, 
2:23J,  by  Echo. 


On  February  10th,  at  Fresno,  Athalie  (dam  of  the  cham- 
pion yearling  Athadon)  dropped  a  beautiful  filly  by  Palin  & 
Co.'s  fine  stallion  Panjabi,  which  is  already  named  Paojali. 
From  the  very  first  it  showed  that  it  was  a  trotter  ;  no  amb- 
ling about  this  little  lassie.  She  ought  to  be  a  wonder  for  all 
of  Athalie's  produce  are  fast.  Her  yearling  Junio  colt  trotted 
a  mile  last  fall  in  2:37,  and  being  only  handled  thirtv  days, 
showed  his  ability  to  trot  at  a  2:20  gait.  We  congratulate 
Mr.  Palm  on  the  possessiou  of  Panjali  and  have  no  hesitancy 
in  saying  that  she  will  bring  Panjabi  into  greater  prominence 
than  all  the  others  he  ever  sired. 


After  having  invested  $209,000  in  Kentucky  in  horses 
during  the  past  three  years  the  equine  property  of  Dr.  J.  H. 
Sherman,  of  New  York,  domiciled  at  the  Sherman  Stock  Farm 
near  Lexington  last  week,  was  sold  by  the  sheriff.  The 
action  was  forced  by  a  suit  filed  by  Trainer  Kimball,  who 
claims  that  Dr.  Sherman  owes  him  $4,000  in  back  salary,  and 
a  suit  for  $7,000  for  borrowed  money  instituted  by  the  Nat- 
ional Exchange  Bank.  Dr.  Sherman  came  here  from  New 
York  three  years  ago  and  leased  the  Sherman  Farm.  He 
stocked  it  with  the  finest  trotters  that  could  be  bought.  Since 
coming  here  he  has  invested  $209,000  and  has  not  obtained  a 
cent  from  his  investment.  Dr.  Sherman  is  now  in  New  York 
and  was  not  here.  The  horses  sold  brought  only  $3,075,  which 
isquite  a  falling  off  from  the  $209,000  they  cost.— Live  Stock

Wallace  Estill,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  experimented 
very  thoroughly  in  growing  hempseed  us  a  preventative  to 
slipping  foals,  and  with  very  favorable  results.  He  has  one 
mare'on  his  place  that  has  slipped  nine  foals  in  succession. 
Last  year  he  gave  her  hempseed,  commencing  when  she  was 
four  or  five  months  gone.  He  gave  her  about  two-thirds  of 
a  pint  once  a  day  in  her  feed  for  about  two  months.  After 
that  he  gave  her  about  the  same  quantity  twice  a  week  nearly 
up  to  the  time  of  foaling,  with  the  result  of  producing  a 
sound,  live  colt  at  the  proper  time.  She  is  now  in  foal  again, 
and  will  be  subjected  to  the  same  treatment  this  year.  A 
veterinary  who  was  consulted,  says  that  the  hempseed 
strengthens  the  muscles  that  close  the  womb.  Mr.  Estill's 
mare  is  ruptured,  and  has  sometimes  slipped  twice  in  one 
year. — Ex. 

The  following  is  the  French  polish  for  harness:  Four 
and  a  half  pounds  of  stearine,  six  and  a  half  pounds  turpen- 
tine, and  three  ounces  of  coloring  or  ivory  black.  Beat  the 
stearine  out  to  thin  sheets  with  a  mallet,  then  mix  in  with 
the  turpentine,  and  subject  it  to  a  water  bath.  While  heat- 
ing, it  must  be  stirred  continually;  the  coloring  matter  is 
thrown  in  after  the  mass  has  become  thoroughly  heated.  It 
is  thrown  into  another  pot  and  stirred  until  it  is  cool  and 
thick;  if  not  stirred  the  mass  will  crystallize  and  the  parts  be- 
come separated.  When  used,  it  must  be  warmed,  and  a  small 
quantity  rubbed  on  the  leather  with  a  cloth;  use  but  little  at 
a  time  and  put  on  very  thin.  After  it  has  partially  dried 
rub  with  a  silk  cloth  and  a  polish  will  be  produced  equal  to 
that  of  newly-varnished  leather.  This  polish  is  also  said  to 
be  good  for  carriage  tops,  and  will  do  no  injury  to  leather. 

There  are  only  a  few  sons  of  Red  Wilkes  owned  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  besides  the  extremely  well-bred,  well-formed 
and  stylish  two-year-old  stallion  Red  Nutlle  22,357  tbat  is 
offered  for  sale  in  our  advertising  columns  by  Messrs.  Myers 
&  Myers,  of  Pleasanton,  Cal.  Red  Nuttle  is  just  the  horse 
for  some  trainer  to  secure,  for  with  him  he  will  earn  not  only 
fame  on  the  track,  but  money  when  he  places  him  in  the  stud. 
A  careful  study  of  his  bloodlines  will  demonstrate  how  well 
he  is  bred.  He  combines  with  the  blood  of  the  mighty  Red 
Wilkes,  strains  of  Nutwood,  Harold,  Idol  177,  Pilot  Jr.  and 
Vermont  Black  Hawk.  A II  of  these  representative  sires  are- 
famous  as  speed  producers,  and,  leaving  aside  the  fact  that  as 
an  individual  he  is  the  paragon  of  perfection  in  size,  color, 
disposition,  gait  and  general  make-up,  Red  Nuttle  should 
make  a  race-horse  of  the  highest  rank.  He  can  be  purchased 
at  a  very  low  figure  on  very  reasonable  terms. 


The  stewards  of  the  Grand  Circuit  met  in  the  Murray  Hill 
hotel,  New  York,  February  14,  and  allotted  dates  to  the  vari- 
ous harness-racing  associations  which  will  be  included  in  the 
"grand  old  combination"  of  1894.  The  dates  were  set  a 
little  earlier  than  usual  on  account  of  the  new  members  ad- 
mitted, so  that  horsemen  participating  may  be  able  to  meet 
their  engagements  in  the  larger  western  events.  East  Sagi- 
naw applied  for  membership  and  was  promised  admission  if 
Pittsburg  fails  to  get  its  [track  ready  in  time.  Baltimore  is 
also  included,  Pimlico  being  granted  the  last  week  in  the 
series.  Buffalo,  as  in  1893,  was  granted  two  weeks.  Cities 
and  dates  are  as  follows :  Pittsburg  or  East  Saginaw,  July  9 
to  14;  Detroit,  July  16  to  21  ;  Cleveland,  July  23  to  27;  Buf- 
falo, July  31  [to  August  11;  Rochester,  August  14  to  17; 
Springfield,  August  21  to  24;  Hartford,  August  23  to  31;  New 
York  (Fleetwood),  September  3  to  8;  Philadelphia  (Point 
Breeze),  September  11  to  14;  Baltimore  (Pimlico), September 
18  to  21.  Springfield  and  Hartford  both  promised  to  hold 
meetings,  setting  at  rest  all  doubts  as  to  the  probabilities  in 
their  cases.  The  board  of  stewards  adjourned  to  meet  in  May 
at  the  call  of  the  president. — Horseman. 

The  Evan  Bros.,  of  Milpitas,  have  a  magnificent  500-acre 
farm  on  the  easterly  slope  adjacent  to  the  historic  town  al- 
ready named,  says  the  San  Jose  Mercury.  They  are  in  the 
cattle  business  very  largely  in  Nevada,  and  the  home  place  is 
devoted  more  to  general  farming  than  to  horse-breeding,  in- 
cluding as  it  does  grain-growing,  orchard  culture  and  fine- 
horned  stock,  as  well  as  thoroughbred  swine,  etc.  At  the 
same  time  they  are  in  the  horse  business  enough  to  entitle 
them  to  honorable  mention  in  these  columns.  They  have 
quite  a  number  of  well-selected  broodmares,  all  standard  and 
registered,  among  which  are  :  Zoela,  a  brown  filly,  by  Anti- 
nous.  2:28^.  dam  Bessie,  by  Bob  Wooding,  he  by  imp.  Her- 
cules. This  filly  was  worked  by  J.  W.  Gordon  as  a  two-year- 
old,  and  showed  wonderful  speed  when  she  went  wrong. 
Daisy,  by  Bob  Wooding  he  by  imp.  Hercules;  Rena  Soudan, 
by  Soudan  (son  of  Sultan),  dam  Daisy  (dam  of  Leona.  2.-27), 
by  Bob  Wooding  ;  Fayette,  by  Almoon,  dam  Midget,  by  Bob 
Wooding;  Bonnie  Thornhill,  by  Billy  Thornhill,  2:24J,  dam 
Daisy,  by  Bob  Wooding;  Bessie,  black  mare,  by  Captain 
Webster,  dam  Dinah,  by  Hercules;  Leona,  2:27,  a  chestnut 
filly,  by  Almoon,  dam  Daisy;  Meta,  chestnut  mare,  by  Al- 
moon, dam  Dinah,  by  imported  Hercules.  Dinah  is  also  the 
dam  of  John  Evans  (by  Antinous,  yearling  record,  2:59), 
Daisy,  Fayette,  Bonnie  Thornhill  and  Midget.  These  mares 
were  all  bred  to  Antinous,  2:284,  in  both  1891  and  1892  and 
1893  they  were  mated  with  Boodle,  2:19^,  and  are  all  in 
foal.

Doesn't  look  as  if  money  was  tight  in  Australia,  eh  ? 


Mokello  has  been  sent  to  Rancho  del  Paso,  where  he  wil 
make  a  season  in  the  stud. 

Charley  Boots  will  race  a  large  string  at  Chicago  and

1 1"  Moose'}"  Taylor  has  signed  to  ride  the  season  of  1894 
for  Walter  &  Dargen,  we  understand. 

We  understand  that  the  great  string  of  Hankins  &  John- 
son will  not  go  East  until  after  the  Blood  Horse  epring  meet- 
ing ends. 

Most  of  the  local  race-goers  believe  that  Diggs  can  beat 
all  the  youngsters  that  have  thus  far  appeared,  half  a  mile  or 
furl  her.  

Canny  Scott  was  sold  at  auction  Tuesday  for  $560  to 
Frank  Van  Ness  at  the  Whitney  sale.  Poor  old  Stoneman

Eaceland  is  the  greatest  gelding  we  have  ever  known. 
He  has  won  nearly  $133,000  in  stakes  and  purses,  has  cap- 
tured 70  races  out  of  128  starts,  and  been  unplaced  but  sev- 
enteen times.  

Regina,  half-sister  to  imp.  Crighton,  is  the  fastest  and  best 
two-year-old  in  Australia  to-day.  She  has  defeated  every 
other  two-year-old  she  has  met  in  her  races,  and  by  her  own- 
ers she  is  placed  as  "  priceless." 

Zeke  Abrahams  Tuesday  purchased  "Johnny  Payne,  of 
Nick  Hall,  and  the  two-year-old  son  of  Egmont  and  Top  o' 
the  Morning,  ran  a  good  second  to  Semele.  It  is  understood 
the  price  paid  was  less  than  $300. 

The  chestnut  colt  by  9alvator,  dam  Lou  Lanier,  by  Lever 
in  Millionaire  Charles  Fleischmann's  3table  is  said  to  be  a 
real  crackerjack.  He  has  wintered  well,  and  is  in  charge  of 
the  well-known  trainer,  R.  Tucker. 

Jockey  Todd  Sloan  is  a  versatile  young  fellow.  His 
latest  move  is  to  become  a  manager.  He  is  managing  the 
polo  game  at  the  ice  skating  rink  to-night  between  the  Chi- 
cago and  California  clubs.  This  match  is  looked  forward  to 
with  great  interest.  

"  Pittsburg  Phil"  (George  E.  Smith)  is  after  jockey  J 
Smith,  who  is  riding  across  the  river.  He  has  made  him  an 
offer  of  $5000  a  year  for  the  first  call  on  him,  and  will  prob- 
ably get  him,  as  Barney  Schrieber,  with  whom  Smith  is 
under  contract,  is  willing  to  release  him. — Horseman. 

Sir  Walter's  two-year-old  sister  is  called  Fannie  Ellsler 
and  is  thought  to  be  a  coming  "  phenom."  She  is  on  the 
small  order,  compact  and  solid-looking.  The  Oneck  Stable- 
has  nine  two-year-olds,  and  five  of  them  are  by  imp.  Midlo- 
thian. A  brother  to  Micmac  Queen  is  said  to  be  "  chain, 
lightning."  

Taylor  again  led  all  the  jockeys  last  week,  with  F.  Leigh 
a  very  close  second  and  Carr  a  good  third.  Taylor  had  four 
wins  out  of  thirteen  mounts ;  Leigh  four  victories  out  of 
fifteen  mounts  and  Carr  three  out  of  sixteen.  Bozeman  had 
two  wins  and  only  two  mounts.  Seaman  rode  two  winners 
and  was  unplaced  but  once  in  ten  starts. 

Poor  old  King  Cadmus,  with  whom  "  Pittsburg  Phil" 
made  a  great  killing  at  Sheepshead  Bay,  was  recently  offered 
or  sale  at  Madison,  111.  No  one  was  willing  to  bid,  and  the 
fhorse  was  led  back  to  his  stall  unsold.  At  the  same 
sale  Edwin,  a  five-year-old  bay  geldinc,  was  bid  off  at  $450, 
and  Red  Light,  an  aged  gelding,  changed  hands  at  $175. 

It  ib  reported  that  the  bay  stallion  Hamdallah  died  at 
Rochester,  Minn.,  last  week.  He  was  foaled  in  1873,  being 
by  Hamlet,  out  of  the  Alexander's  Abdallah  mare,  Trotting 
Sister,  that  also  produced  Nephew.  Hamdallah  was  bred  by 
J.  T.  Talbot,  Cynthiana,  Ky.,  passed  to  W.  H.  Wilson,  Cyn- 
thiana,  Ky.,  who  sold  him  to  Graves  Bros.,  Rochester,  Minn 

Thk  Horseman  says  Emanuel  Morris  has  signed  to  ride 
the  season  of  1894  for  Fleiscbmann  &  Sod,  the  millionaire 
turfmen  of  Cincinnati,  O.  It  also  says  "  Moose  "  Taylor  is  to 
ride  for  the  Oneck  Stable  of  Dr.  Gideon  L.  Knapp.  They 
probably  err  about  the  latter  youth,  as  we  have  it  on  the  best 
aathorily  that  Todd  Sloan  will  do  the  lightweight  riding  for 
Dr.  Knapp  this  year.         

Four  thoroughbreds  were  sold  at  East  St.  Louis  February 
12.  Henry  Simons  bought  OUie  Kinney,  a  bay  mare,  four 
years  old,  by  George  Kinney,  dam  Olivette,  for  $175,  and 
Costa  Rica,  brown  horse,  seven  years  old,  by  Grinstead,  dam 
Althola,  for  $200.  Little  Nell,  a  bay  mare,  four  years  old, 
by  Mr.  Pickwick,  out  of  Empress,  by  Leamington,  was  sold 
to  P.  J.  Oilman  for  $675.     Khaftan,   a   brown  gelding,  eight 

Be.--      years  old,  by  imp.   Pizarro,  dam  Gyptis,  was  bought  by  W. 

■etf       L.  Hatchett  for  $400.       

The  popular  bookmaker,  George  Rose,  is  getting  trgether 
quite  a  good  stable  to  race  at  the  East  this  season.     Last  Sat- 
urday he  purchased  at  the  Schwartz  sale  Waahoe"  (hrother  to 
j,p      Bonanza)  and  Belle  Gardner  (half  sister  to  Laura  Gardner), 
riji-      paying  therefor  $1,300  and  $490  respectively  for  thtm.     He 
L        owns  Middlelon,  one  of  the  best  sprinters  at  the  local  course 
.:       and  well-nigh  invincible  in   heavy   going;    Rear  Guard,  a 
frequent  winner  at  the  East  last  season  and  a  colt  that  has 
shown  fairly  well  here  ;  Haymarket,  a  winner,  at  present  not 
in  good  form,  and  Tiger,  a  Three  Cheers  two-year-old  colt.  It 
understood  Mr.  Rose  intends  making  further  purchases  at 
coming  sales,  so  that   his  string  will   soon  be  quite  a  for 


John  Harper  moved  out  of  his  farm  in  Suisun  Valley 
last  Tuesday,  and  in  the  future  will  personally  conduct  the 
aflairs  and  engage  in  active  farming  life.  This  wees  he  dis- 
posed of  the  last  one  of  his  thoroughbrd  racers  and  will  shortly 
sell  a  few  trotters  he  has  at  the  ranch.  Among  the  latter  he 
has  Brilliantine,  the  fast  pacer,  Maud  Patchen  and  Hylas 
Boy.  Hotspur,  the  thoroughbred  who  holds  the  world's  rec- 
ord of  3:00:|-  minutes  for  one  and  three-quarters  mile,  was  re- 
cently sold.  John  had  a  bonafide  offer  of  $7,000  for  this 
horse  two  years  ago. — Solano  Journal. 

It  is  quite  amusing  to  read  that  the  leading  associations  of 
the  far  East  aire  now  willing  to  grant  a  rt  full  pardon  "  to  the 
famous  New  York  turf  writers,  Arthur  F.  Bowers  and  Tracy 
Bronson,  respectively  city  editor  of  the  New  York  Tribune 
and  racing  editor  of  the  New  York  Times.  The  fact  of  the 
matter  is  that  since  these  gentlemen  were  ruled  off  last  sum- 
mer for  writing  objectionable  articles  they  have  been  devot- 
ing about  a  column  per  day  toward  "  roasting"  racing  as  con- 
ducted around  New  York  City  in  particular,  and  it  is  prob- 
ably due  to  these  articles,  in  part  at  least,  that  racing  has 
been  killed  in  New  Jersey.  They  have  amply  demonstrated 
that  they  can  get  along  without  going  to  the  races,  but  the  as- 
sociations, by  giving  in,  show  conclusively  that  they  cannot 
stand  the  incineration  of  a  powerful  press. 

A  writer  who  recently  paid  a  visit  to  the  Oneck  stable 
says  that  G.  W.  Johnson  looks  well,  and  what  is  belter,  looks 
more  like  standing  training  than  he  did  the  day  he  was  sold 
to  Dr.  Knapp.  He  does  not  stand  over  as  he  did  then  and 
all  last  season.  He  walks  and  moves  altogether  different  to 
what  he  did  last  year,  and  has  improved  materially  in  this 
respect.  The  enlargements  that  were  on  the  back  of  his  knee 
joints  are  entirely  gone.  He  is  doing  lots  of  trotting  exer- 
cise and  is  in  fine  winter  condition,  with  plenty  of  good,  hard 
flesh,  without  having  a  big  belly  on  him.  In  fact,  this  is  the 
condition  all  the  horses,  old  and  young,  are  in.  There  is  a 
good  chance  for  G.  W.  Johnson  to  win  back  all  he  lost,  and 
it  is  to  be  hoped  that  he  will,  as  the  genuine  sportsman  who 
owns  him  is  deserving  of  the  very  best  of  luck. 

Chicago  is  to  have  a  new  race  track,  and  it  will  be  a 
beauty.  There  is  more  or  less  secrecy  in  the  matter,  but  this 
is  absolutely  necessary,  as  certain  negotiations  are  pending. 
Mr.  Wm.  Martin,  well-known  by  the  sporting  element  of  the 
country,  is  the  only  man  as  yet  known  in  connection  with  the 
aflair,  but  as  he  is  backed  by  about  $2,000,000  of  capital,  this 
is  sufficient.  The  new  track 'is  to  be  located  on  the  West 
Side,  and  the  corporation  is  to  be  known  as  the  Fair  Grounds 
Association.  It  will  have  thirty  days  of  racing  every  year,  just 
after  the  close  of  the  Washington  Park  meeting,  and  every- 
thing in  connection  with  it  will  be  high-class.  The  meeting 
will  be  devoted  to  the  runners  only.  Good  purses  are  to  be 
hung  up.  A  grand  clubhouse  is  to  be  erected,  as  fine  and 
complete  as  any  in  the  country. 

The  Weber  closing-out  sale,  set  for  next  Thursday  at  Bay 
District  track,  is  looked  forward  to  with  great  interest  by  our 
horseman,  and  there  will  almost  certainly  beseveral  commis- 
sions from  the  far  East  to  buy  the  phenomenal  two-year-old, 
Captain  Coster,  who  is  entered  in  over  $150,000  worth  of 
stakes  and  is  thought  to  have  a  mortgage  on  all  the  Blood 
Horse  two  year-old  evenls  he  is  engaged  in.  This  colt  has 
repeatedly  shown  his  ability  to  go  half-miles  in  0:48A  or  even 
better  with  over.  120  pounds  up.  He  is  a  magnificent  indi- 
vidual and  simply  superbly  bred,  going  back  twenty  genera- 
tions on  the  dam's  side  of  the  house.  And  by  the  way,  Cap- 
tain Coster's  dam  is  a  full  sister  to  La  Scala,  dam  of  the  crack 
colt,  Sir  Walter,  while  his  sire  was  a  stake-winner  for  whom 
no  route  was  too  long.  And  there  are  others  in  the  Weber 
sale  that  are  bread-winners  in  the  strictest  sense  of  the  term. 


''St.  George,"  in  The  Horseman,  calls  Galopin,  Ormonde 
and  Nordenfeldt  the  premier  stallions  respectively  of  Eng- 
land, America  and  Australasia.  Just  what  he  basesthison 
is  hard  to  fathom,  as  Galopin  is  not  the  leading  stallion  of 
England  at  the  present  time  as  a  sire  of  winners,  neither  have 
his  get  won  more  great  stake  races  than  the  get 
of  any  horse  since  Stockwell's  time.  The  same  claim 
regarding  Ormonde  cannot  pass  muster  either,  for  while 
there  is  every  reason  to  believe  he  will  prove  a  great  sire,  he 
has  yet  to  demonstrate  that  he  can  eclipse  the  doings  at  the 
stud  of  Longfellow,  Iroquois  or  imp.  Sir  Modred.  Nor- 
denfeldt i6  not  the  leading  sire  of  Australasia,  another  son  of 
Musket  (Trenton)  farjoutshining  him.  "St.  George"  is  evi- 
dently the  victim  of  his  own  breeding  theories.

The  brown  horse  Sir  Matthew,  foaled  1889,  by  imp.  Sir 
Mcdred,  dam  Embroidery,  by  Virgil,  died  at  the  Kentucky 
Association  course  on  Saturday,  February  3d.  The  horse  had 
been  on  the  ailing  list  for  sometime,  and  the  immediate  cause 
of  his  death  was  blood  poisoning.  He  was  in  Trainer  John 
Rodgegap's  stable  at  the  time  of  his  death,  and  it  may  be 
remarked  here  that  he  was  the  first  horse  to  die  in  Mr.  Rode- 
gap's  stable  since  that  gentleman  has  been  training  race 
horses.  His  ruoning  qualities  were  owned  by  a  Montana 
turfman,  and  at  the  end  of  his  career  he  was  to  have  been 
returned  to  Marcus  Daly,  his  owner.  As  a  two-year-old  in 
1891  he  was  very  prominent,  winning  the  Camden  Stakes  and 
Junior  Champion  Stakes  at  Monmouth  and  defeating  Dago- 
net,  Yorkvilie  Belle,  Merry  Monaich,  Tammany  and  others. 
As  a  three-year-old  he  won  the  Fourth  of  July  Handicap  at 
Monmouth,  and  a  handicap  at  the  same  place,  beating  Kil- 
deer,  Gloaming,  etc.  This  year  he  won  six  races  and  beat 
some  fair  performers. — Live  Stock  Record. 

The  racing  situation  in  New  Jersey  has  materially  altered 
since  last  week.  Then  everything  pointed  to  plain  sailing 
for  the  track  managers;  but  it  seems  that  their  claims  to 
power  have  been  importune.  A  week  ago  owners  were  told 
that  their  horses  should  be  ready  to  race  by  March  1st,  as  by 
that  date  the  meetings  at  Guttenburg  and  Gloucester  would 
surely  open  and  arrangements  were  made  by  many  stables  to 
transfer  the  scene  of  their  operations  to  these  tracks  from  the 
various  cities  where  the  winter  sport  is  being  carried  ou.  The 
information  was  authoritative  and  from  headquarters,  but  the 
best  laid  plans  have  gone  agley  again.  Now  the  flat  is  that 
there  will  be  no  racing  in  Jersey  at  all  this  year.  Guttenburg 
is  the  first  to  announce  that  its  gates  will  be  kept  closed  dur- 
ing 1S94,  and  the  other  associations  will  of  course  follow  suit. 
This  astonishing  change  of  front  has  been  brought  about  by 
legislative  action.  The  friends  of  racing  in  both  the  upper 
and  l^wer  houses  had  it  in  mind  to  try  to  secure  some  legisla- 
tion that  would  enable  the  tracks  to  do  business  ^  but  the  ar- 
rogant position  taken  up  by  the  track-owDers  made  it  possible 
for  the  anti-racing  delegation  to  tax  tbem  with  perfidy  and 
obstruction  to  permit  racing  to  go  on.  Then  they  waxed 
wroth  and  declared  that  the  race-track  people  had  brought 
them  into  disrepute.  So  they  seot  for  William  Thompson  and 
informed  them  that  there  must  be  no  racing  at  Gloucester  or 
elsewhere  in  the  State.  Immediately  the  order  was  promul- 
gated that  the  tracks  would  not  open  as  promised. 


A  declaration  was  filed,  February  9,  in  the  Cook  county 
circuit  court,  in  the  suit  of  Lambert  Tree  against  M.  C.  Mc- 
Donald and  George  V.  Hankins  to  recover  back  rent  for  the 
Garfield  Park  grounds.  The  declaration  shows  that  the  lease 
of  the  premises  to  Albert  Hankins,  George  V.  Hankins  and 
John  Condon  ran  from  July  1,  1891,  to  February  28,  1895. 
The  rent  for  the  first  vear  was  $15,000,  for  the  second  year 
$20,000,  and  for  the  res't  of  the  term  $25,000,  payable  quar- 
terly in  advance.  A  transfer  of  tbe  lease  was  made  to  the 
Garfield  Park  Club  upon  signing  an  agreement  guaranteeing 
payment  of  the  rent  by  M.  C.  McDonald,  Samuel  Dahl,  T.  J. 
Hankins,  W.  T.  Wightman,  P.  J.  Ryan,  William  Martin, 
Sidmon  McHie  and  H.  A.  Varnell.  Plaintiff  says  that  since 
October,  1892,  up  to  the  time  of  commencing  the  suit  he  has 
received  no  rent  from  the  club,  and  the  sum  with  interest  is 
$34,917.37.— Horseman.  

R.  Van  Brunt,  of  New  York  city,  who  is  spending  the 
winter  in  California  and  who  is  incidentally  looking  after  the 
interests  of  Mb  friend  Gebhard  (of  Langtry  fame), has  caused 
Mr.  Gebhard's  great  thoroughbred  St.  Saviour  to  be  brought 
from  the  Guenoc  Stock  Farm  to  San  Jose  and  quartered  at 
Agricultural  Park.  Mr.  Van  Brunt,  who  is  making  his 
home  at  the  Vendome,  is  a  lover  of  horses,  but  is  not  a 
lover  of  horsesman.  He,  however,  regards  Mr.  Gebhard's 
selection  of  the  Guenoc  Farm  as  an  unfortunate  one,  at  least 
in  the  matlar  of  adaptation  for  breeding  thoroughbreds.  St. 
Saviour  during  his  stay  in  San  Jose  is  being  handled  by  N. 
S.  Smith,  who  daily  exercises  this  son  of  Eolus  and  War 
Song  under  the  saddle.  St.  Saviour  is  the  sire  of  Zobair  and 
De  Bracy.  Asa  three-year-old  he  ran  four  times  and  was 
three  times  first  and  once  second.  Won  the  Barnegat  Stakes, 
one  and  one-half  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others  ;  won  Raritan  Stakes,  one  and  one- 
fourth  miles,  defeating  the  King  Ernest-Mimi  colt  and  four 
others  in  a  canter  ;  won  the  Newark  Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled 
double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to  Rataplan  for  the 
rich  Emporium  Stakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the  country. 
Not  only  was  he  a  great  race  horse,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenomenal  racers  Eole,  Eolist  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savi- 
our's sire,  was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War 
Song,  threw  no  less  than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was 
by  Leamington,  sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  On- 
ondaga and  Sensation.  Among  the  mares  already  listed 
upon  his  books  are  half  a  dozen  from  Spreckels  Bros.'  Stables 
and  several  from  J.  Naglee  Burke's  Pueblo  Stables. — Mer- 
cury.   

In  a  conversation  with  a  prominent  horseman  the  other 
night  he  remarked  (and  there  is  nothing  but  common  sense 
in  what  he  said)  :  "  1  consider  the  magnificent  black  brother 
to  Sir  Modred  (Idalium)  the  greatest  bargain  in  horseflesh  at 
$20,000  that  can  be  had  in  America  to-day.  As  an  individ- 
ual he  does  not  suffer  by  compaiison  with  any  horse  I  ever 
clapped  an  eye  on,  and  I  have  seen  very  many  of  the  celebri- 
ties of  the  world.  His  get  have  proved  stake-winners  in  Aus- 
tralia, and  I  understand  that  he  never  had  half  a  dozen  thor- 
oughbred mares  in  his  own  country,  they  being  scarce  in  the 
section  he  was  owned  in,  and  his  owner  being  a  wealthy  man 
who  did  not  care  much  about  improving  any  other  man's 
stock.  In  this  country  his  foals  are  simply  grand.  One,  a 
filly  owned  by  Mr.  Macdonough,  is  priceless,  and  no  person 
ever  saw  a  handsomer  or  more  promising  yearling.  Now,  as 
an  investment  for  a  large  breeder,  he  should  be  worth  more 
than  $20,000.  $30,000  has  been  refused  for  Cheviot,  his  full 
brother,  who  is  not  near  such  an  individual  as  Idalium.  Sup- 
pose he  is  bred  to  twenty  mares  belonging  to  some  breeder, 
and  to  thirty  outside  m;tres  every  season  at  $150  each.  His 
foals  would  average  at  least  $800  per  head  at  the  first  sale. 
Here  is  $16,000.  Then  thirty  outside  mares  at  $150  per  ser- 
vice amounts  to  $4,500.  The  horse  can  thus  clear  himself 
the  first  season  easily  enough,  and  almost  everything  after 
that  is  'velvet.'  The  phenomenal  success  of  Sir  Modred  and 
Cheviot  at  the  stud  should  be  a  guarantee  that  Idalium  will 
prove  a  great  sire  in  this  country,  as  he  is  a  sure  foal-getter 
and  certainly  as  grand  an  individual  as  any  man  would  want 
to  see.  If  this  horse  does  not  bring  $20,000,  therefore,  he  is 
sacrificed."  

If  the  new  jocky  club  adheres  to  the  plan  outlined  by  Mr. 
Keene  when  he  said,  "  We  may  make  rules  telling  the  book- 
makers if  tbey  want  to  be  bookmakers  to  make  their  books 
and  sell  their  horses,"  it  will  remove  one  of  the  biggest  evils 
at  present  existent  on  tbe  turf.  The  managers  of  all  the  big 
tracks  from  the  Atlantic  to  the  Pacific  charge  bookmakers 
enormous  sums  per  day  for  the  privilege  cf  doing  business, 
and  when  all  the  changes  and  chances  of  the  average  day's 
racing  are  taken  into  consideration  it  is  not  strange  that  some 
of  the  events  are  manipulated  in  the  interests  of  one  or  two 
books.  The  expenses  of  any  large  layer  of  odds  ranee  from 
fifty  to  one  hundred  dollars  a  day,  and  when  to  this  is  added 
the  one  hundred  dollars  which  be  is  compelled  to  pay  for  his 
position  in  the  betting-ring,  he  must  be  more  than  usually 
successful  to  make  a  profit  on  the  season  if  he  has  not  now 
and  again  a  "dead  sure  thing."  The  easiest  way  to  attain 
this  end  is  to  own  or  control  a  stable  and  run  the  horses  for 
his  own  profit.  The  evils  of  ownership  conflicting  with  duty 
are  everywhere  present  in  racing  busiuess.  Jockeys,  trainers, 
bookmakers,  in  fact,  everybody  connected  with  the  turf  all 
owe  some  duty  to  the  public,  which  is  the  last  thing  con- 
sidered, when  it  antagonizes  self-interest.  It  will  naturally 
enough  be  a  hard  matter  to  prevent  bookmakers  controlling 
racehorses,  and  nothing  will  ever  put  a  stop  to  the  venality 
of  jockeys  and  helpers.  Still,  the  owning  of  horses  by  book- 
makers may  be  surrounded  by  such  provisions  as  to  make  it 
a  profitless  enterprise,  io  which  case  the  penciling  fraternity 
will  undoubtedly  sell  theirslables  and  adhere  strictly  to  their 
legitimate  business,rp.ceiving  in  return  such  concessions  from 
the  jockey  club  as  will  protect  them  from  tbe  mulcting  process 
to  which  they  have  been  subjected  by  the  managers  of  almost 
all  the  big  tracks,— Horseman.

that  they  arc  bound  to  lie  in  the  swim  on  the  high  wave 
of  prosperity.  In  our  advertising  columns  the  programme 
is  well  set  forth,  and  the  conditions  (patterned  alter  the 
progressive  ones  introduced  by  the  P.  C.  T.  II.  B.  Asso-

and  the  directors  in  offering  such  encouragement  I"  the 
breeders  of  fine  colts  and  fillies  deserve  the  highest  com-

The  auction  sale  of  Australian  thoroughbreds  that  will 
take  place  at  the  Bay  District  Track  on  Monday  next 
has  attracted  more  attention  from  owners  of  racehorses 
than  any  heretofore  held  in  this  city.  The  fact  that  the 
star  of  the  sale  is  Idalium,  the  handsome  brother  to  the 
great  stallions,  Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot,  does  not  detract 
one  iota  from  the  value  of  the  balaDce  to  be  sold  to  the 
highest  bidder. 

CrichtoD,  the  grandest  type  of  a  racehorse  that  has 
ever  been  sent  from  Australia,  will  be  a  paying  invest- 
ment, for  after  his  running  days  on  the  turf  end  he  will 
make  a  great  sire.  His  whole  pedigree  is  "  Eclipse," 
therefore  he  must  do  wonderfully  well  on  our  Herod 
mares.  In  searching  the  world  over  there  is  no  other 
horse  bred  as  strongly  as  he  is,  and  as  an  outcross 
for  American-bred  mares  he  should  be  invaluable. 
Like  the  balance  of  bis  little  party,  this  horse 
was  hardly  acclimated  when  the  heavy  rains  of 
February  fell  and  turned  the  Bay  District  course  into 
a  sea  of  mud,  and  through  which  he  has  never  had  any 
experience  in  floundering.  Given  a  good  day  and  a  fair 
track,  and  this  horse,  Crichton,  will  set  a  mark  that  will 
place  his  name  high  upon  the  pedestal  of  fame.  He  only 
appeared  once.  In  his  only  race  he  was  fully  ten  lengths 
behind  the  balance,  and  yet  he  went  around  them  like  a 
cooper  around  a  barrel,  and  was  only  beaten  for  show  in 
a  very  close  finish  by  a  small  margin.  Had  the  race 
been  a  mile  or  even  three-quarters  of  a  mile,  he  would 
undoubtedly  have  won. 

Trentola,  the  royally-bred  son  of  Trenton,  he  by  Mus- 
ket, the  Eclipse  of  the  Southern  Hemisphere,  will  need 
little  laudation  from  the  silvery-toDgued  auctioneers,  as 
he  steps  in  front  of  the  box.  What  a  sire  he  will  make 
to  cross  on  our  American-bred  mares.  The  need  of  an 
outcross  for  the  matrons  in  this  country  is  admitted  by 
all,  and  when  one  looks  over  the  list  of  great  winners 
that  have  come  from  these  mares  when  bred  to  English 
sires,  is  there  any  room  for  doubting  that  the  Australian 
blood  is  not  an  improvement  on  even  those  which  come 
from  across  the  Atlantic  ?  The  best  stud  farms  in 
England  were  none  too  good  for  the  Australians  who 
spent  months  among  them  securing  the  choicest  and 
soundest  animals  to  stock  their  stations.  Arabia  had 
none  too  good  for  the  early  settlers  there  who  purchased 
very  choicest  at  high  prices  and  bred  them  to  the  Eng- 
lish t  horoughbreds  they  brought  over. 

Calphurnus,  by  July  is  also  a  young  horse  eligible  to 
race  until  he  is  old  as  "  Barnum,  the  iron  horse."  With 
a  Darebin  mother  out  of  a  mare  by  Yattendon,  she  out 
of  Atholine,  by  Blair  Athol,  etc.,  what  a  race  horse  he 
will  be,  in  fact,  is,  at  the  present  time. 

Then  Merriwa.  Well,  everyone  knows  about  him  ;  he 
has  been  admired  and  praised  so  much  that  further 
reference  is,  perhaps,  unnecessary.  As  a  foal-getter  he 
ranks  A  No.  1. 

When  we  come  to  inspect  this  band  of  stallions  that 
have  so  many  crosses  of  the  speed-sustaining  blood  of 
Touchstone,  Sir  Hercules,  Blacklock,  Stockwell,  Whale- 
bone, Pantaloon,  Fisherman,  Irish  Birdcatcher  and  all 
other  strains  that  are  sought  after  by  the  foremost  breed- 
ers and  turfman  in  England  and  America  to-day,  can 
there  be  any  doubt  of  the  importance  of  this  sale  ? 

Another  fact,  and  perhaps  the  greatest  one  is  that  all 
of  these  animals  are  perfectly  sound  in  wind  and  limb, 
and  in  conformation  and  disposition  are  a  credit  to  the 
judgment  of  the  horseman  who  selected  them.  There 
are  no  hereditary  taints  of  disease  lurking  in  their  sys- 
tems, and  every  one  of  these  stallions  if  taken  to  the  East 
would,  if  their  merits  were  made  known,  bring  five  times 
the  price  they  will  bring  next  Monday. 

of  the  mares  Candid  stands  pre-eminently  as  the 
handsomest  mare  ever  seen  on  a  race  track  in  California, 
and  every  judge  of  horseflesh  will  agree  to  with 
statement  on  Monday.  She  is  a  fitting  representative  of 
the  queenly  blood  that  flows  in  her  veins.  Descended 
from  kings  and  queens  of  the  turf,  sound  as  a  dollar  and 
now  in  condition  to  run  a  mile  as  fast  as  anything  at  the 
track,  what  a  gem  she  will  be  for  some  one,  for  she  is 
worthy  of  being  set  among  the  grandest  galaxy  of  equine 
stars  that  ever  added  lustre  to  an  owner's  fame. 

Yurrauabee  is  an  unknown  mare  to  us.     But  she  is  a 
high  type  of  a  mare,  and  even  though  we  did  not  study 
the  strong  lines  of  her  pedigree,  we  would  have  no  hesi- 
tancy in  pronouncing  her  one  that  ought  to  run   fast  in 
j  the  best  of  company  and  be  able  to  sustain  her  high  rate 
':  of  speed  even  to  the  very  end.     Yarranabee  will  surprise 
;  the  talent  when  fit  for  a  race,  and  she  is  fast  getting  into 
I  form. 

A  ride  on  an   ocean   steamship  for   twenty-four  days 


over  seven  thousand  miles  through  many  climatic 
changes  does  not  benefit  horses  that  must  be  prepared  for 
racing  immediately  on  landing. 

Flamey,  by  Cyrus,  out  of  Flam,  by  Flood,  second 
dam  imp.  Amalia,  is  a  three-year-old  Palo  Alto  bred  filly 
and  as  she  is  free  from  the  load  of  superfluous  flesh  she 
carried  at  the  time  of  her  purchase,  she  should  win  a 
goodly  sum  before  the  end  of  March. 

Clicquot  is  a  Grandmaster  mare  of  exquisite  conforma- 
tion and  will  no  doubt  excite  lively  bidding  when  shown 
and  her  lineage  explained,  although  the  catalogue  gives 
a  very  fair  idea  of  the  doings  on  the  turf  of  her  maternal 
and  paternal  ancestors.  She  will  never  disgrace  her 
ancestry  when  sent  on  her  journey  in  good  racing  com- 
pany. 

Repose  created  a  great  deal  of  comment  among  horse- 
men when  she  landed  here  nearly  two  years  ago.  She 
is  now  heavy  with  foai  to  the  mighty  Flambeau,  and  the 
produce  should  be  very  valuable.  Her  blood  lines  are  of 
the  strongest,  and  as  she  was  a  race  mare  of  high  merit 
and  descends  from  [stake-winners  on  both  sides  of  the 
house,  she  ought  to  bring  a  good  round  sum. 

Besides  these,  there  are  two  other  grandly-bred  fillies 
to  be  sold,  one  by  Grandmaster  out  of  Fine  Lady,  by 
Darebin,  and  the  other  by  Australian  Peer,  out  of' 
Queen's  Head,  by  Yattendon.  These  individuals  are 
first-class  in  every  respect,  and  should  prove  race  mares 
of  the  highest  order.  Their  breeding  and  conformation 
entitle  them  to  the  consideration  of  all  horsemen.  These 
two  were  selected  by  Mr.  Lopez  for  a  gentleman  of  this 
city. 

From  the  above  it  will  be  seen  that  this  sale  is  of 
more  importance  to  the  thoroughbred  horse  interests  of 
this  coast  than  any  heretofore  held,  for  all  of  these,  with 
the  exception  of  Idalium  and  Merriwa,  are  sure  to  ap- 
pear in  races  whoever  purchases  them,  and  their  stand- 
ing as  sires  will  be  prominently  brought  before  the  breed- 
ers of  America.  The  new  blood  lines  that  they  possess 
have  been  tried  successfully  in  Australia,  New  Zealand 
and  India,  and  the  very  choicest  and  highest-priced  ones 
in  these  countries  have  for  their  sires  and  dams  blood  rel- 
atives of  those  in  the  consignment  to  be  sold  on  Monday 
at  the  Bay  District  track. 


A  Few  Days  More. 


By  referring  to  our  advertisiug  columns  it  will  be  seen 
that  entries  to  the  additional  pacing  events  for  the 
fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  will  close  next 
Thursday,  March  1st.  It  is  of  the  utmost  impor- 
tance to  owners  of  pacers  that  they  do  not  let  this  oppor- 
tunity for  getting  a  slice  of  the  splendid  purses  go  by. 
After  the  first  of  last  month  a  large  number  of  horsemen 
regretted  that  they  did  not  pay  more  attention  to  the  no- 
tices sent  them  in  relation  to  the  closing  of  entries  they 
should  have  no  such  exercises  now. 

The  Napa  Association's  programme  is  also  to  be  seen 
in  our  advertising  columns.  While  the  purses  offered 
may  not  be  as  large  as  those  given  by  richer  and  mors 
influential  associations,  the  terms  are  very  liberal,  and 
as  Napa  forms  one  of  the  principal  sections  in  the  arch 
of  equine  fame  in  this  State,  its  efforts  to  get  a  large  en. 
try  list  and  give  good  racing  should  be  liberally  sus- 
tained by  our  horsemen.  The  track  is  one  of  the  best 
in  this  State,  its  appointments  and  accommodations  most 
excellent,  climate  unsurpassed,  and  for  real  good  racing 
no  other  track  in  California  has  been  the  scene  of  so 
many  hotly-contested  races. 

Remember  there  will  only  be  a  few  days  before  entries 
will  close.     Blanks  can  be  bad  at  this  office. 


While  the  prices  for  trotters  and  pacers  are  not  asjl 
high  as  they  were  a  few  years  ago,  the  opportunity  fori 
owners  of  good  ones  to  make  money  with  them  in-i 
creased  amazingly  during  1893,  and,  from  present  in-t 
dications,  1S04  will  eclipse  all  of  its  predecessors  in  this  j 
respect.  This  is  not  only  true  of  the  races  to  be  given 
on  this  coast,  but  also  of  all  to  be  given  over  the  Easten 
tracks. 

The  joint  meeting  of  the  American  and  National  Asso- 
ciations  which  convened  on  the  fourteenth  of  thisl^ 
month  had  a  number  of  plans  submitted  to  it  by  the 
leading  associations  in  America,  and  it  is  with  regret  w« 
have  to  chronicle  the  fact  that  the  late  heavy  storms  ir. 
the  Sierra  Nevadas  delayed  the  mails  which  contain  H| 
full  account  of  the  proceedings  of  these  twd 
parent  organizations.  The  value  of  offering  mon 
liberal  conditions  to  owners  of  trotters  and  paci 
so  that  larger  number  of  entries  may  be  madi 
to  the  various  events,  and  not  compelling  the  horse 
men  to  be  deprived  of  the  full  amount  of  th 
five  or  ten  per  cent  entrance,  as  heretofore  claimet 
is  appreciated  by  all.

"With  the  organization  of  the  Pacific  Trotting  and  Pac- 
ing Association,  which  is  now  in  a  fair  way  of  being  es- 
tablished, every  one  will  have  better  protection,  because 
the  help  and  advice  when  needed  will  come  quicker  and 
there  will  be  no  long  delays  when  questions  arise  involv- 
ing personal  or  pecuniary  wrongs,  for  answers  can  be 
telegraphed  at  once. 

The  associations  on  the  California  circuit  are  bound  to 
leave  nothing  undone  which  might  contribute  to  the  suc- 
cess of  their  meetings,  and  two  of  them  have  already 
issued  their  programmes  and  advertised  them  in  this 
issue.  ^^^__^^^_^^^_— 

The   Napa   Sale. 

The  largest  number  of  people  ever  assembled  at  a 
sale  in  Napa  county  gathered  at  the  race  track  on  Wed- 
nesday last.  The  incessant  downpour  of  rain  during  the 
past  three  weeks  rendered  the  track  unfit  for  the  trotters 
to  be  jogged  over,  so  it  was  decided  to  sell  all  the 
stock  without  showing  their  speed.  Of  course  this  en- 
tailed a  great  loss,  from  the  fact  that  there  were  a  large 
number  of  youngsters  there  that  brought  just  about  one- 
third  of  the  amount  they  would  if  they  were  shown  to 
harness.  The  buyers  therefore  can  congratulate  them- 
selves on  securing  bargains.  Just  fifty  head  were  sold. 
Eyraud,  the  great  son  of  Eros,  brought  $1,050  ;  the  bid- 
ding on  this  colt  was  very  lively,  Auctioneers  Loeber 
and  Watkins  doing  their  work  well.  A  number  of  the 
fastest  mares,  having  been  bred  and  being  in  foal,  did 
not  bring  the  prices  they  otherwise  would,  Oakville 
Maid,  2:26,  selling  for  $300,  and  Flora  B,,  2:27,  $310. 
W.  Vioget  secured  a  bargain  in  the  broodmare  Whisp, 
getting  her  for  $245.  H.  Moore  purchased  the  phenom- 
enal green  pacer,  Blue  Bells,  for  $405.  Blonde  Wilkes 
was  bought  by  M.  Kemper  for  $825.  The  total  amount 
received   was    $8,700.       The    following  brought    $100

At  the  hour  of  going  to  press  the  following  letter  cir- 
cular, with  proxy  blank  attached,  was  received: 

There  will  be  a  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Associa- 
tion next  Monday  Evening,  February  26th,  1894.  at  Palace  Hotel, 
Maple  Hall,  at  eight  o'clock,  p.  m. 

The  object  of  the  meeting  is  to  discuss  our  financial  obligations, 
and  a  proposition  will  be  made  to  the  members  by  which  they  will 
be  relieved  of  all  responsibility  as  to  the  present  indebtedness  or  any 
that  may  occur  in  the  future,  but  will  still  retain  their  privilege  of 
admission  to  the  grounds  and  club  house  by  the  payment,  of  their 
annual  dues. 

Your  presence  at  the  meeting  is  urgently  requested. 

Enclosed  please  find  form  of  proxy.    It  unable  to  attend  the  meet- 
ing kindly  fill  out  the  same  in  my  name,  and  I  will  vote  the  same  in 
favor  of  the  proposition  above  alluded  to.     Respectfully  yours, 
Thomas  H.  Williams,  Jr., 
President  P.  C.  B.  H.  A. 

The  State  Agricultural  Society  has  opened  four  colt 
stakes  for  trotting  and  pacing  colts,  entries  for  which 
will  close  March  15.  These  races  will  take  place  during 
the  State  Fair  this  year.  Their  descriptions  and  terras 
can  be  seen  in  another  column. 

There  will  be  some  very  lively  bidding  next  Monday  at 
the  Lopez  sale  (Bay  District  track)  when  Idalium  (brother  to 
Sir  Modred),  Trentola  (the  great  Musket  horse),  Crichlon 
(the  speedy  stayer)  and  the  beautiful  black  mare,  Candid,  are 
led  into  the  ring.  These  animals  are  simply  superbly  bred, 
and  being  grand  individuals,  should  command  big  prices. 


Timely    Advice    to    Trainers. 


The  trainer's  reputation  is  his  stock  in  trade,  and  until  he 
has  amassed  a  sufficiently  large  amount  of  this  world's  goods 
to  enable  him  to  settle  permanently  in  a  city  and  maintain  a 
winter  stable,  he  should  be  on  the  alert  all  winter  to  locate 
improving  campaigners  and  fast  green  horses.  He  should 
move  around  amongst  owners  and  endeavor  to  make  arrange- 
ments to  handle  such  a  string  as  will  bring  him  fame  as  well 
as  dollars.  It  is  with  the  trainer's  business  as  in  mercantile 
pursuits — prosperity  seldom  seeks  the  man.  A  large  amount 
of  hustling  is  necessary  to  success.  Many  young  trainers 
make  the  mistake  of  considering  all  is  fish  that  comes  to 
their  net.  While,  of  course,  daily  bread  and  butter  is  the 
grand  desideratum,  it  will  be  found  that  to  undertake  the  ed- 
ucation of  inferior  brutes  is  always  a  losing  game  in  the  long 
run,  for  owners  who  have  no  better  sense  than  to  have  such 
horses  trained,  always  think  that  the  trainer  is  to  blame  in 
not  developing  them  into  record  breakers.  A  few  good  ones 
with  fair  speed  and  promise  will  prove  much  more  profitable 
in  the  long  run  than  a  whole  stableful  of  bad  ones. 

Having  made  an  examination  of  the  probabilities  in  his 
case,  it  is  well  for  the  trainer  to  take  up  his  residence  in 
some  city  which  is  convenient  of  access  to  the  owners  he  de- 
sires to  interest  in  his  behalf.  This  will  be  found  to  be  a 
point  in  his  favor,  for  the  majority  of  men  who  have  race- 
horses like  them  to  be  conditioned  at  some  place  where  they 
can  go  and  mark  progress  without  any  great  expenditure  of 
time  or  money.  The  city  selected  should,  of  course,  have  a 
good  track  and  be  situated  in  a  community  where  the  light- 
harness  horse  is  admired.  In  such  a  location,  when  once 
established,  the  trainer  will  receive  local  busines3.  It  is 
generally  unwise  to  attempt  "building  up  an  interest  in  trot- 
ting ;''  there  are  too  many  places  nowadays  where  the  in- 
terest caD  be  found  ready  made.  Nor  should  the  conditioner 
undertake  the  care  of  too  many  horses.  Until  in  a  position 
to  employ  a  lieutenant  of  at  least  average  skill  he  should  not 
accept — even  supposing  he  can  get  them — more  horses  than 
he  can  work  himself.  If  he  does  the  result  is  plain.  The 
horses  showing  the  least  improvement  will  receive  the  least 
attention,  and  their  owners  will  be  disappointed  in  conse- 
quence. Every  man  who  owns  a  trotter  has  some  influence 
over  his  fellow  men  and  it  will  naturally  enough  be  exerted 
against  the  trainer  who  failed  to  give  him  something 
for  his  money.  A  case  in  point  may  be  cited.  A  friend  of  the 
writer's  owned  a  very  well-bred  three-year-old.  He  placed  him 
in  the  hands  of  a  good  trainer  and  expected  from  the  colt's 
breeding,  disposition,  conformation  and  natural  speed  that  he 
would  develop  into  a  ti otter  of  the  first  class.  The  reinsman  had 
more  to  do  than  he  could  personally  accomplish, and  as  the  colt 
improved  but  slowly  he  was  shelved  and  eventually  sent 
home  marked  "no  good."  He  was  fat  as  a  pig  and  showed 
very  conclusively  that  he  had  been  neglected.  Nothing 
daunted,  however,  the  owner  paid  his  bill,  put  his  colt  by  for 
the  winter  and  next  summer  worked  him  and  marked  him  a 
little  better  than  2:30.  With  the  advent  of  another  spring  he 
sent  him  to  a  young  man  who  gave  all  his  time  to  the  few  in 
his  charge,  and  when  the  winds  of  late  October  began  to  strip 
the  leaves  from  the  trees  tbe  despised  colt  had  a  record  down 
low  in  the  teens  ;  had  made  a  barrel  of  money  for  his  owner 
and  a  reputation  for  his  driver.  He  had  trotted  many  sec- 
onds faster  tuan  any  that  were  in  the  stable  with  him  when 
he  was  three  years  old,  and  it  goes  without  saying  that  his 
owner  has  not  since  then  helped  the  trainer  who  took  his 
money  for  nothing  to  very  much  business.  The  moral  of  all 
this  is  as  clear  as  day:  Pay  strict  personal  attention  to  every 
horse  in  the  stable  and  bring  out  the  best  that  is  in  them. 
Those  that  |are  a  little  slow  in  showing  improvement  should 
gt.t  a  little  extra  time  spent  over  them*.  Retributive  justice 
is  pretty  sure  to  be  meted  out  in  the  trainers'  world,  and  if  be 
succeeds  in  a  hard  case  he  will  reap  his  reward  in  his  em- 
ployer's good-will  just  as  surely  as  his  enmity  if  he  neglects 
his  charge. 

Next,  the  trainer  should  make  his  arrangements  to  get  the 
horses  he  is  to  train  as  early  in  the  season  as  possible.  The 
earlier  the  better  is  the  general  rule ;  in  fact,  horses  would 
generally  do  better  if  wintered  by  the  man  who  is  to  condition 
them.  They  need  not  necessarily  be  jogged,  they  can  be 
rested  just  as  well  one  place  as  another.  It  will  be  found 
advantageous  to  take  campaigners  early  and  give  them  road 
work  even  if  only  board  rates  can  be  obtained  for  their  main- 
tenance and  exercise.  The  driver  gets  accustomed  to  the 
peculiarities  and  dispositions,  and  is,  therefore,  in  a  much 
better  position  to  do  the  best  by  them  when  active  training 
begins  than  if  they  are  sent  to  him  fresh  at  that  time  when 
every  day  is  of  value  in  getting  them  ready  to  race.  The 
question  of  compensation  is  one  well  worthy  of  discussion.  As 
stated  in  a  former  article,  a  charge  of  less  than  $2  per  day 
means  inferior  service,  and  while  every  trainer  should  an- 
deavor  to  make  bis  customers'-  expenses  as  light  as  possible, 
he  must  charge  enough  to  pay  for  everything  and  leave  him 
a  fair  salary  every  month.  As  mentioned  in  the  issue  re- 
ferred to,  a  good  article  will  always  bring  its  price.  It  must 
be  remembered  that  stall  rent,  feed,  help,  board  and  inciden- 
tals have  all  to  be  paid. 

Even  in  the  secondary  matters  of  boots,  harness,  sulkies 
and  other  racing  paraphernalia — secondary  because  thev  are 
of  no  use  without  horses — an  early  start  should  be  made,  so 
as  to  avoid  haste  and  disappointment  in  the  spring.  A  full 
outfit  of  necessary  blankets  and  boots  should  be  insisted  upon 
with  every  horse,  and  should  be  supplied  by  the  owner  at 
the  time  the  horse  is  sent  to  the  trainer.  If  new  ones  are 
needed  from  time  to  time  they  should  be  promptly  settled  for; 
it  is  not  right  to  tie  trainers'  money  up  in  chattels  that  do 
not  belong  to  him.  It  is  easily  figured  out  what  a  horse  will 
need,  with  a  very  few  exceptions,  and  the  articles  should  be 
sent  with  him.  Sulkies  should  always  be  ordered  early.  It 
does  not  cost  any  more  to  get  a  sulky  that  tits  both  horse  and 
man,  and  therefore  is  conducive  to  their  best  efforts,  than  it 
does  to  wait  for  the  last  moment  and  then  pick  one  out 
haphazard  from  the  manufacturer's  stock  on  hand. 

The  trainer  should  always  receive  a  commission  from  ths 
owner  in  the  event  of  one  of  his  charges  being  sold.  This  is 
only  a  fair  return  for  the  reservation  of  the  right  to  sell  at 
any  time  and  thus  deprive  the  string  of  a  profitable  member 
— it  is  always  the  good  ones  that  are  sold.  The  conditions 
upon  which  the  racing  is  done  must,  of  course,  be  arrived  at 
and  governed  by  mutual  agreement.  The  safest  and  best 
plan  for  trainers  to  pursue  is,  as  far  as  possible,  to  let  the 
owners  bear  the  expenses  and  take  all  the  gains,  receiving  as 


added  compensation  a  certain  percentage  of  the  winnings. 
When  they  become  horse  owners  and  can  pick  and  choose 
from  the  country's  best,  they  may  pursue  different  tactics, 
but  in  the  creeping  and  walking  stages  of  their  careers  the 
most  conservative  policy  will  be  found  the  best. — Horseman. 


More  About  the  "Wilkes. 

There  was  given  recently  in  these  columns  some  interest- 
ing statistical  information  regarding  tbe  two  most  prominent 
sons  of  George  Wilkes — Gambetta  Wilkes  and  Guy  Wilkes 
— but  there  is  much  other  matter  concerning  this  family  of 
trotters  of  value  to  breeders.  One  point  which  has  marked 
significance  is  that  of  the  eighty-seven  sons  of  George  Wilkes 
that  have  sired  2:30  speed,  their  total  contribution  of  per- 
formers being  a  trifle  over  one  thousand,  no  less  than  sixty- 
one  have  given  the  turf  one  or  more  2:20  horses.  This  is  im- 
portant in  these  days  when  anything  less  than  2:20  speed  is 
valueless  from  a  racing  standpoint.  And  there  are  still  other 
features  of  the  matter  well  worth  looking  into.  For  instance, 
nineteen  of  these  sixty-one  sires  of  2:20  or  better  speed  among 
the  sons  of  George  Wilkes  haye  five  or  more  such  aoimals  to 
their  credit.  These  nineteen  sons  of  George  Wilkes  are  :

Four-fifths  of  these  most  highly  distinguished  of  the  Wilkes 
tribe  have  records,  and  of  the  other  five  at  least  two — Young 
Jim  and  Bourbon  Wilkes — are  known  to  have  possessed  better 
than  2:30  speed  in  their  youth.  But  when  it  comes  to  siring 
2:15  speed  the  standard  is  much  higher  and  the  successful 
ones  less  in  number.  Thirty-six  sons  of  George  Wilkes  have 
sired  2:15  speed.  Eighteen  of  them  have  sired  two  or  more 
2:15  trotters  or  pacers,  eleveu  have  sired  three  or  more,  and 
only  five  have  sired  five  or  more.  The  quintette  that  come 
undei  this  highest  test  are:

It  will  be  noted  that  the  higher  the  test  the  greater  is  the 
percentage  of  sires  with  records,  four  of  the  five  named  above 
coming  under  this  head,  while  the  other,  Bourbon  Wiikes, 
can  speed  better  than  a  2:30  clip.  Guy  Wilkes  leads  them 
all,  both  in  numbers  and  quality,  for  six  of  his  nine  2:15  per- 
formers are  trotters,  while  none  of  the  others  can  equal  his 
showing  of  six  2:15  trotters  in  addition  to  the  three  pacers. —

Portland's  Prospect. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Every  horseman 
in  Oregon  sends  congratulations  to  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  Breeders' 
Association  for  their  "  wonderful  "  meeting,  and  as  this  is  the 
first  gun  of  the  season,  it  clearly  indicates  the  future  for  the 
racing  season  of  1S94  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  Horsemen  here* 
are  preparing  more  horses  than  usual  for  the  coming  circuit 
and  as  they  have  all  wintered  well,  you  may  look  for  us  to  be 
in  the  front  line  when  the  bell  taps,  for  we  have  abetter  class 
to  pick  from  than  ever  before.  We  regret  very  much  in 
losing  our  phenomenal  pacer  and  game  race  horse,  Doc 
Sperry,  2:14},  but  "  what  is  our  loss  is  your  gain."  We  under- 
stand this  grand  campaigner  will  go  through  the  Eastern 
circuit  this  year,  the  slable  companion  of  Flying  Jib,  2:04, 
and  we  predict  for  him  to  carry  the  colors  of  his  stable  to 
victory  in  many  hard-fought  races.  He  is  comparatively  a 
green  horse,  though  his  record  would  indicate  lhat  he  has  bad 
considerable  work  from  an  Oregon  standpoint, but  such  is  not 
the  case,  and  had  he  not  been  handicapped  with  hopples  he 
no  doubt  would  have  gone  faster  last  year. 

The  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association  have  claimed 
dates  for  their  spring  meeting  and  will  have  their  programme 
out  in  a  short  time  Horsemen  going  to  Montana  can  stop 
off  here  and  have  plenty  of  lime  to  take  in  the  meeting  at 
Anaconda.  Our  new  Board  of  Directors  are  working  hard  to 
make  this  meeting  a  grand  success, and  they  are  meeting  with 
encouragement  from  every  direction.  Hoping  to  see  Cali- 
fornia well  represented  here,  and  promising  them  all  nothing 
but  fair  treatment  I  am,  yours  truly,  JSoukko.

small  stream  passed.  It  was  frozen  nver,  hut  in  attempting 
to  cross  the  ice  gave  way  and  one  hind  foot  hecame  fastened  so 
that  the  mare  could  not  rise.  She  lay  in  the  icy  water  for  a

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


Among  our  new  advertisers  this  week  we  call  jour  especial 
attention  to  the  advertisement  of  King  Charles  and  Ruby 
spaniels  of  A.  H.  Gilmore,  Worcester,  Mass. 

HuotoQ  Justice,  by  Stipendiary — Belmont  Jenny,  died  last 
month  at  the  kennels  of  his  owner,  Mr.  Harrison,  of  Ripon, 
Eng.     He  was  a  winner  of  forty -two  firsts  and  specials. 

We  have  it  on  good  authority  that  Mr.  C.  A.  Summer  the 
fox  terrier  breeder  at  Los  Angeles,  has  a  new  fox  terrier  dog 
from  the  East,  with  which  he  expects  to  surprise  the  fox 
terrier  men  at  the  coming  shows. 


Another  well-known  dog  has  joined  the  great  majority. 
Clarence  Haight's  well-known  pointer  bitch  Lady  Max,  by 
Climax — Roberta,  strangled  himself  on  Monday  last.  She 
was  not  only  a  good  field  bitch,  but  the  dam  of  many  well- 
known  dogs. 

The  British  Fancier  comes  to  us  this  week  with  the  best 
frontispiece  we  have  seen  for  ra.ioy  a  Jay.  It  is  a  portrait  in 
colors  of  the  new  debutant,  the  R.  C.  St.  Bernard  Lord  Doug- 
las, the  Crystal  Palace  winner.  He  is  by  Sir  Hereward,  out 
of  Baroness  Cardiff. 

TheStockton  Mail  of  the  17th  contained  cuts  of  Fernwood 
Inez  and  Grand  Chancellor.  Friend  Heffernan  is  evidently 
stirring  up  the  dog  men  in  that  locality.  Wish  we  had  about 
twenty  Heffernans  here  to  put  some  life  into  the  Pacific  Ken- 
nel Club  and  the  St.  Bernard  Club. 


Several  well-known  dogmen  are  getting  up  "strings"  for 
the  Los  Angeles  show.  Exhibitors  need  not  hesitate  about 
sending  their  dogs.  Any  of  the  handlers  will  give  them  good 
care,  and  the  Southern  Club  is  noted  for  their  hospitality 
and  the  good  care  given  to  the  dogs  of  visiting  dogmen. 

Our  urgent  cill  for  a  bench  show  should  not  be  misconstrued 
into  an  attack  upon  the  bench  show  committee.  The  gentle- 
men that  compose  that  committee  are  gentlemen  sportsmen 
in  every  sense  of  the  nord,  they  are  deeply  interested  in  the 
welfare  of  the  club  and  advised  the  club  according  to  their 
best  j  udgment.  

The  Canadian  Kennel  Club  have  appointed  T.  G.  Davey 
London,  Ont.,  S.  F.  Wetherall,  Comptou,  Quebec,  and  Dr.  H 
S.  Griffin,  Hamilton,  Ont.,  a  committee  of  three  to  confer  with 
the  committee  of  the  American  Kennel  Club — A.  P.  Vreden- 
burgh,  Jas.  Watson  and  J  M.  Taylor — for  the  purpose  of 
devising  some  means  toward  forming  a  new  compact  between 
the  two  clubs. 

Dr.  R.  A.  Ferguson,  of  Bikersfield,  has  presented  Dr. 
Davidson,  of  San  Francisco,  with  one  of  a  litter  of  two  dogs 
and  five  bitches  bv  Spot  (Blemton  Shiner — Popcorn)  ;  Pop- 
corn by  Doctor — Jessie,  out  of  Polly,  by  Blemton  Shiner —

breeding as  one  sees  in  a  life-time.  There  is  not  a  single  out- 
cross. 

Dr.  Ferguson,  the  Bakersfield  fox  terrier  fancier,  eyidently 
intends  to  enter  into  competition  with  Mr.  Walker,  of  Lath- 
rop.  His  foxterrier,  Snapper  Joe,  a  terrier,  by  the  way,  that 
the  Doctor  calls  the  best  for  bench  form  that  he  ever  bred, has 
recently  killed  a  wild  cat.  Dr.  Ferguson  will  have  an  entry 
in  the  fox  terrier  Sweepstakes  and  will  enter  Vashti,bv  Blem- 
ton Reefer — Jessie.inlhe  Produce  Stakes  for  1895,and  Snapper 
Joe  and  Vashti  for  the  team  prize. 

The  well-known  mastiff  dog  Iogleside  Crown  Prince,  by 
Champion  I  Word  Chancellor — Madge  Minting,  died  recently 
from  the  effects  of  the  poisoning  that  we  mentioned  in  these 
columns  some  two  or  three  weeks  ago.  Ingleside  Crown 
Prince  was  only  second  to  Beaufort's  Black  Prince  in  rank, 
and  even  that  is  an  open  question,  as  they  never  met.  He 
was  as  strong  in  limb  as  a  young  lion,  and  one  of  the  grand- 
est specimens  ever  bred.  The  loss  is  a  severe  one,  both  to  the 
doggy  fraternity  and  his  well-known  owner — Gavin  McXab. 

The  advertisement  of  the  fox-terrier  Raby  Rasper  at  etud 
will  be  found  in  another  columu.  It  unfortunately  arrived 
too  late  for  proper  classification.  Raby  Rasper  contains  the 
blood  of  Champion  Reckon,  Champion  Rachel,  Champion 
New  Forest,  Champion  Ruby  Tyrant  and  many  others  of 
like  merit  and  should  lie  died  exten-ively  in  the  stud.  By 
the  way,  his  owner,  Mr  OawotOD  is  the  proprietor  of  the 
Ostrich  Farm  at  the  Midwinter  Fair  and  no  fox  terrier  man 
should  fail  to  see  this  portion  of  the  exposition.  It  is  well 
worth  a  vMt.

deeds  of  bravery.  A  tastefully  designed  "  collar  of  honor"  is 
awarded  to  the  nominees  of  the  order.  Among  the  animals 
already  decorated  in  this  way  one  of  the  most  celebrated  is

drowning  on  different  occasions. 


A  pathetic  illustration  of  the  dog's  fidelity  to  its  master  is 
reported  from  Butte,  Mont.    Joe  Betlish   dted  at  the  poor   j 
farm.     The  body  was  taken  to  an  undertaker's,  and  the  dead   i 
man's  dog  followed   it   there,    manifesting  the  deepest  grief.   . 
It  took  a  position  beneath  the  coffin,  with  head  buried  in  its  | 
paws,  and  when  removed  howled  in  a  mournful  manner.     At 
midnight  the    mournful   airs    ceased,    and  investigation  dis- 
closed that  death  had  come  to  the  dog  as  well  as  his  pauper 
master.  

Quite  a  number  of  local  sportsmen  and  sportswomen  be- 
took themselves  to  an  open  country  about  five  miles  south  of 
Hanford  one  day  last  week  and  enjoyed  some  fine  sport  cours-  j 
ing  jack  rabbits.  The  course  was  followed  on  horseback  and 
had  the  appearance  of  a  regular  cross  country  fox  hunt.  Eight 
or  nine  courses  were  indulged  in  with  different  dogs  for  each 
one,  and  with  a  breathing  spell  for  the  horses  between  times. 
The  dogs  are  said  to  have  done  splendidly  and  seldom  left 
their  "  Jack "  after  once  he  had  been  put  up,  although 
crossed  many  times  in  their  course  by  other  "bunnies." —

A  Bench  Show  in  San  Francisco. 


There  is  no  denying  the  fact  that  the  public  and  the  major- 
ity of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  demand  that  a  show  be  held 
this  year.  As  we  have  previously  stated,  we  believe  that  a 
show  held  on  the  chosen  dates  would  bring  out  a  larger  entry 
than  was  ever  before  given  to  a  show  in  this  city.  We  be- 
lieve that  the  attendance  would  be  fully  as  large  as  usual,  and 
moreover,  we  are  inclined  to  think  that  it  will  be  a  great  deal 
larger  than  usual,  on  account  of  the  great  number  of  visitors 
in  the  city  at  that  time. 

Again,  the  expense  will  be  at  least  $300  less  than  last  year. 
The  gallery  of  the  Mechanics'  Pavilion  can  be  secured,  and 
the  rent,  gas  and  other  expenses  will  be  a  great  deal  less  than 
if  we  had  the  lower  hall.  There  is  ample  room  in  the  gal- 
lery, plenty  of  light,  and  the  benching  can  be  very  tastefully 
arranged. 

That  the  show  was  abandoned,  the  members  of  the  club 
have  no  one  to  blame  but  themselves.  If  the  members  have 
not  sufficient  interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  club  to  attend  an 
occasional  meeting  they  cannot  wonder  or  complain  at  the 
action  of  the  few  active  members  that  do  attend.  At  the  last 
meeting  the  bench  show  committee  reported  that  they  could 
not  find  a  suitable  hall  and  advised  the  abandonment  of  the 
show  for  one  year.  There  was  not  one  dissenting  voice  and 
several  of  the  fifteen  members  present  voiced  the  opinion  that 
a  show  held  this  year  would  not  pay  anyway.  The  one  diffi- 
culty that  the  committee  complained  of  has  been  removed.  A 
hall  has  been  found.  No  one  has  any  right  to  predict  a 
failure. 

The  Pacific  Kennel  Club  is  organized  to  promote,  encour- 
age and  improve  the  breeding  of  thoroughbred  dogs  and  to 
hold  bench  shows.  The  holding  of  an  annual  bench  show  is 
its  principle  object  and  in  no  other  way  can  the  club  so  ef- 
fectually encourage  the  breeding  of  thoroughbred  dogs. 

What  if  the  club  is  obliged  to  dip  into  its  bank  account. 
The  club  was  not  organized  for  the  purpose  of  accumulating 
money. 

The  money  in  the  treasury  is  the  property  of  every  mem- 
ber and  should  be  expended  to  the  last  dollar  if  necessary, 
rather  than  abandon  a  show. 

We  are  receiving  letters  from  Portland,  Seattle,  Stockton, 
Los  Angeles  and  smaller  towns  almost  every  mail,  lamenting 
the  abandonment  of  the  show  and  some  of  them  are  not  over 
choice  in  the  language  used  in  condemnation  of  the  action  of 
the  club.  The  entire  coast  has  been  looking  to  San  Francisco 
for  a  midwinter  show  and  they  are  keenly  disappointed  to 
learn  that  it  has  been  abandoned.  The  following  from  Port- 
land, not  intended  for  publication,  is  a  sample  of  the  letters 
received : 

"The  dog  fanciers  here  are  very  sorry  to  hear  of  the 
abandonment  of  the  San  Francisco  bench  show,  quite  a  num- 
ber of  us  anticipated  sending  our  dogs  down  and  it  is  a  sore 
disappointment  to  as  to  hear  that  there  will  be  no  show,  how- 
ever. I  will  send  mine  to  Los  Angeles  as  I  am  anxious  to 
have  them  come  into  competition  with  the  California  dogs, 
and  if  good  enough  to  win  I  want  to  know  it.  *  *  *  I 
trust  the  action  of  the  San  Francisco  Club  will  not  put  a 
damper  on  our  club  and  cause  the  club  to  reverse  the  decision 
of  the  bench  sbowcommiltee.', 

There  is  ample  time  to  get  ready  for  the  show  and  hold  it 
on  the  original  advertised  dates.  We  earnestly  recommend 
the  club  to  reconsider  their  previous  action  in  this  matter 
and  urge  the  members  to  attend  the  next  meeting  on  Wednes- 
day, March  7,  en  masse  and  decide  the  question  for  good. 
Let  the  majority  rule,  and  if  it  is  then  decided  that  to  hold  a 
show  is  not  advisable,  well  and  good,  but  we  are  of  the  opin- 
ion that  the  club  as  a  whole  demand  the  show. 


The  Southern  Field  Club's  Trials. 


We  regret  that  our  limited  space  only  admits  of  our  pub 
lishing  the  summary  of  these  trials.  The  reporters  of  our 
esteemed  contemporaries,  Forest  and  Stream  and  American 
Field,  supposedly  B.  Waters  and  J.  M.  Taylor,  both  agree 
that  the  placing  of  Topsy's  Rod  first  in  the  Derby  was  a  rank 
injustice,  Bessie  Shoupe  was  clearly  the  winner.  The  judges 
and  handlers  are  severely  scored  for  their  action  in  the  final 
heat.     The  summary  is  as  follows  :

Bloodhounds  and  Beagles. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — I  am  exceedingly 
obliged  to  yon  for  the  cutting  from  San  Francisco  Chronicle 
of  19th  inst.,  which  is  very  interesting  on  several  accounts, 
first,  in  the  admiral  picture  of  bloodhounds,  one  entirely  new 
to  me,  and  which  admirably  illustrates  the  prevalent  type  of 
these  dogs  as  illustrated  from  thirty  to  forty  years  since ;  one 
familiar  with  the  English  bloodhound  of  to-day  will  recog- 
nize at  once  that  this  picture  displays  the  very  best  type  of 
bloodhound  head,  in  fact,  almost  faultless  in  a  show  point  of 
view,  but  that  the  legs  are  much  longer  and  lighter  than 
fashion  has  required  of  late.  These  dogs  are  improved  like- 
nesses of  Sir  Grantley  Berkeley's  Druid, and  thefashionseems 
to  have  drifted  towards  heavier  bounds,  as  shown  by  such 
animals  as  Mrs.  Humphrey's  Don,  down  to  the  chunky  hounds 
of  to-day.  We  can  understand  such  hounds  as  illustrated  in 
this  picture  running  down  game  of  some  sort,  but  it  evokes 
a  smile  to  think  of  the  show — ring  pets  of  to-day  running  a 
lame  cat. 

The  description  of  the  trailing  of  a  criminal  or  fugitive  in 
old  ante-bellum  days  down  south,  is  also  admirable,  conform- 
ing closely  to  the  accounts  I  have  had  from  Southerners 
and  to  published  accounts  I  have  read  years  since.  But  with 
the  above,  all  praise  I  can  accord  the  article  finishes.  The 
descriptions  of  the  bloodhound  supposed  to  be  used  for  fugi- 
tive slave  tracking  down  South,  is  most  amusing.  In  the 
first  pHce  it  refers  to  these  dogs  as  bloodhounds,  when  it  is 
notorious  that  they  were  nothing  but  the  common,  every  day 
fox  hound  that  swarmed  all  over  the  South.  No  dog  lives, 
or  ever  did  live,  with  a  keener  nose  than  this  common  fox- 
hound, nor  was  any  easier  to  train,  and  leaving  all  considera- 
tions of  damage  to  the  fugitive,  etc.,  out  of  thequestion,  would 
Southerners  be  such  borne  asses  as  to  import  expensive  dogs 
to  do  wort  that  their  native  stock,  to  be  had  for  almost  noth- 
ing, could  do  better  ? 

Then  the  real  truth  is  that  there  is  not  a  shadow  of  solid 
evidence  that  there  ever  was  such  a  breed  of  dogs  as  the 
Cuban  bloodhound.  There  was  a  big,  savage  brute  used  in 
the  West  Indies  for  tbe  pursuit  of  fugitive  slaves,  and  some- 
times it  was  dubbed  Cuban  bloodhound,  and  sometimes  Cuban 
mastiff.  As  I  now  remember,  Las  Casas  calls  the  brmte  a 
bloodhound,  and  Youatt  classes  him  as  a  mastiff,  giving  aD 
illustration  of  a  long-legged  brute,  generally  of  boar-hound 
type,  but  just  a  big  mongrel.  In  the  West  Indies  escaped 
slaves  took  to  tbe  mountains  and  soon  developed  into  danger- 
ous banditti,  commonly  called  maroons.  It  was  desirable  to 
exterminate  these  dangerous  men,  and  doubtless  the  West 
Indians  generally  would  use  any  big  savage  brute  they  could 
get  hold  of,  and  the  biggest  and  most  savage  easily  procured 
would  be  either  the  boarhound,  more  or  less  pure,  or  chance 
mongrels  between  mastiffs  and  hounds.  There  does  not  exist 
a  particle  »f  proof  that  there  ever  was  anything  like  a  dis- 
tinct brad  of  dogs  of  any  kind  in  Cuba  or  anywhere  else  in 
the  West  Indies.  I  have  stated  this  dozens  of  times  and 
challenged  production  of  proof,  and  never  got  a  word  in 
reply. 

Then  Mr.  Mackey's  ideas  of  beagles  are  very  funny.  Surely 
every  dog  man  will  recognize  that  his  twenty-four  inch 
beagles  are  nothing  but  common  foxhounds. 

The  information  I  have  had  from  old  Southern  doggy  men 
as  to  tracking  fugitives  indicate  that  the  large  type  of  fox- 
hound was  generally  preferred  for  the  work,  the  kind  called 
deerhouods  from  being  rather  the  preference  for  deer  run- 
ning, and  that  the  tracking  hounds  were  trained  to  keep 
within  their  master's  heariog,  and  never  to  attack  the  fugi- 
tive. Had  they  got  beyond  hearing  and  attacked  Sambo,  the 
latter  could  easily  have  exterminated  the  pack  with  so  com- 
mon a  weapon  as  a  corn  or  cane  knife.  The  only  dog  ex- 
pected to  do  any  biting  was  the  "catch"  dog,  a  big  cur  some- 
what of  the  bull-dog  type.  It  was  his  business  to  run  in  and 
catch  Sambo  by  the  leg,  tripping  him  up  and  so  delaying  his 
flight 

But  there  are  now  great  differences  in  dispositiou  of  the 
hounds  used  for  man-tracking.  Those  of  the  eastern  Southern 
States,  such  as  are  kept  at  nearly  every  penitentiary  or  con- 
vict camp,  are  thoroughly  gentle,  following  the  fugitive's 
track  as  an  amisement,  and  never  attacking  him  in  any  way, 
as  was  illustrated  by  a  pack  of  convict  hounds  overtaking  a 
fugitive  and  he  fraternizing  with  them  and  effecting  his  escape 
and  stealing  the  hounds,  as  well  as  stealing  himself.  While 
this  seems  to  be  the  rule  in  the  localities  I  note,  I  am  strongly 
inclined  to  believe  that  the  hounds  used  in  Texas  for  this 
purpose  are  very  savage  on  a  trail.  I  know  that  a  pack  pro- 
cored  in  Texas  and  kept  at  the  Montana  penitentiary  used 
op  several  trusties  who  were  sent  out  to  afiord  visitors  a 
chance  to  see  a  hunt,  so  badly  that  the  trusties  finally  refused 
to  go  out  any  more,  and  from  several  sources  I  hear  the  same 
of  hounds  in  Texas,  and  somewhere,  somehow,  there  seems 
to  be  an  indefinite  notion  of  Texas  hounds  as  savage  animals, 
as  incidental  mention  of  them  are  made  in  several  stories  I 
have  seen.  The  Montana  pack  I  allude  to  are  perfectly  gentle 
except  on  overtaking  a  man  they  are  tracking,  a  characteris- 
tic that  would  seem  to  be  the  result  of  specific  training  and 
not  at  all  a  natural  one.        Yours  truly,  W.  Wade.

A   Fox-Terrier  and  an  Otter. 


Knowing  that  the  columns  of  your  journal  are  always 
open  to  items  that  may  interest  your  readers,  and  seeing  the 
extract  in  your  issue  of  January  6  from  the  English  Stock- 
Keeper  relating  to  the  fox-terrier  tackling  the  otter  near 
Durham,  I  wisb  to  mention  an  incident  of  fox-terrier  vs. 
otter  which  occured  in  the  old  country  in  the  days  when  this 
breed  of  dog  was  not  as  well  known  as  at  present. 

The  dog  in  question  had  been  used  around  the  estate  where 
he  belonged  (it  being  bounded  on  one  side  by  the  Severn)  for 
several  years,  sometimes  to  bolt  a  fox,  sometimes  to  kill  a 
rat,  or  maybe  a  dozen,  which  he  always  did  with  the  greatest 
credit  to  himself.  A  tributary  of  tbe  Severn  was  occasionally 
visited  by  an  otter,  or  perhaps  a  family  of  them  was  bred 
there.  At  any  rate  otters  were  found  and  sometimes  hunted 
there. 

One  day  during  the  winter  a  member  of  the  family  owning 
the  dog  went  on  foot  down  to  see  one  of  tbe  packs  of  hounds 
meet,  and  took  tbe  terrier  with  him.  Returning  about  noon 
he  had  to  cross  the  tributary  referred  to,  at  about  which  time 
he  missed  the  dog.  As  he  met  the  writer  he  mentioned  that 
"Old  Trap"  had  probably  gone  to  ground  in  a  culvert  in  the 
long  meadow  and  to  look  out  for  his  retain,  which  was  done, 


the  dog  staggering  home  in  the  twilight  of  a  winter  evening 
covered  with  mud  and  blood. 

Upon  examination  his  muzzle  proved  to  be  bitten  clean 
through  on  the  upper  side  so  that  he  could  breathe  through 
the  wounds,  all  of  which  later  healed  up  except  the  one  on 
tbe  muzzle,  which  was  running  until  the  death  of  the  dog. 
Several  weeks  later  the  writer  was  walking  near  the  spot 
where  the  dog  disappeared  when  he  found  a  dead  otter, 
which,  judging  from  his  condition,  was  the  one  which  had 
been  in  the  engagement  with  the  dog.  The  culvert  was  ex- 
amined and  the  signs  of  the  conflict  at  one  of  the  catch- 
basins,  where  the  passage  was  barred,  was  very  plain. —

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


Inanimate  target  shooting  clubs  are  being  formed  in  Eng- 
land almost  every  week. 


The  Empire  Guu  Club,  formerly  United  States  Gun  Club, 
will  hold  a  practice  shoot  on  Sunday,  March  -4. 


The  sportsmen  that  have  visited  Sears  Point  recently  re- 
port seeing  great  numbers  of  wild  pigeon  in  the  hills. 

Mr.  David  Thorn  is  spending  the  balance  of  the  open  sea- 
son in  an  outing  among  the  hills,  looking  for  quail. 


Quite  a  number  of  ducks  and  geese  were  exposed  for  sale 
in  the  local  markets  this  week.  They  were  from  inland  towns 
and  the  San  Joaquin  valley. 


The  Country  Club  have  abolished  the  thirty-yard  class  this 
season.  There  are  not  more  than  six  thirty-yard  men  in  Cal- 
ifornia.   The  move  is  a  good  one. 

The  attention  of  the  Fish  and  Game  Commissioners  has 
been  called  t3  the  fact  that  4  and  S-bore  guns  are  being  used 
at  Los  Baoos  in  the  slaughter  of  ducks.  Will  they  investigate 
the  matter?  

Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co  have  just  received  a  special  in- 
voice of  felt  wads  for  hand-loaded  nitro  shells.  For  a  com- 
plete assortment  of  trap  shooting  guns  and  shells  call  on  this 
popular  firm. 

Messrs.  Burns  and  Karney  enjoyed  a  very  successful  shoot 
at  Sears  Point  on  Sunday  last.  They  brought  to  bag  thirty- 
seven  duck,  including  nine  mallard,  seven  canvas-back  and 
several  sprig.  This  is  a  very  good  bag  for  this  season.  Most 
of  the  shooters  are  content  with  a  dozen. 


The  Santa  Barbara  Hunt  Club  was  organized  last  week 
with  a  charter  membership  of  fifty  or  sixty.  The  object  of 
the  club  is  to  promote  riding  sports  and  exercises,  particu- 
larly that  of  the  hare  and  hounds  chase  that  has  been  tried 
successfully  this  season.  The  same  colors,  green  and  yellow, 
heretofore  worn  by  members  of  the  club  were  adopted  as  club 
colors.  Arrangements  are  being  made  for  another  chase  on 
the  22d  of  this  month. 

A  large  crowd,  from  To  to  80  all  told,  gathered  at  the 
shooting  grounds  near  Athletic  Park,  Bakersfield,  Sunday 
afternoon,  January  11th,  where  the  Gun  Club  held  a  meeting. 
The  first  shooting  was  at  Blue  Rocks,  18  yards  rise,  and  out 
of  a  possible  forty  the  following  score  was  made:  Reed,  36; 
Baker,  24 ;  Myers,  23;  H.  L.  Packard,  2S  ;  Woody,  25;  Day, 
32,  and  Millard  15  out  of  a  possible  30.  Then  live  pigeons 
were  used  at  28  yards,  with  this  result  out  of  a  possible  6  : 
Baker,  2;  Reed,  5;  Packard,  4  (one  bird  falling  dead  out  of 
bounds);  Taggart,  5 :  Myers,  3,  and  Charles  Day,  4  out  of 
5  birds,  one  of  his  having  escaped  the  pen. — Californian. 


An  exchange  states  that  at  Charles  Flohr's  Sacramento  gun- 
store  may  be  seen  a  wounded  wild-duck  which  none  of  the 
local  hunters  have  been  able  to  classify.  It  is  about  the  size 
of  a  widgeoo,  but  dark  in  color.  The  head,  neck  and  breast 
is  arich  seal  brown,  the  back  a  brown-black,  beautifully  mot- 
tled, and  a  black  stripe  extends  from  the  crown  of  the  head 
down  the  back  of  the  neck.  The  legs  and  feet  are  of  a  dark 
olive  color,  the  web  being  very  large.  The  tail  is  white  when 
spread  and  the  bill  is  black.  Tbe  duck  waddles  about  the 
store,  and  although  it  has  been  in  captivity  one  day,  it  is  as 
game  as  a  pet  chicken,  permitting  any  one  to  take  it  up  in 
his  hands.  Apparently  it  belongs  to  the  "diver"  species.  It 
was  wounded  and  captured  near  the  city. 


Butt    Plates    For    Hunting    Rifles. 

"  To  prevent  the  butt  of  a  rifle  from  slipping,  roughen  the 
surface." 

Thus  the  editor  of  a  certain  paper  replied  to  a  correspond- 
ent some  years  ago.  I  fancy  the  reader  will  mentally 
ask,  "  Well,  what  of  it?"  Everybody  is  supposed  to  know 
that.  But  does  he  know  it,  indeed,  in  fact,  or  by  actual  ex- 
perience, particularly  the  rifle  butt  plate  ? 

I  have  heard  shooters  say  they  did  not  want  a  shot-gun 
butt  on  a  rifle.  Others  prefer  a  shot-gun  butt,  somewhat 
modified  and  narrowed,  but  select  a  rubber  plate  because 
it  does  not  slip,  etc. 

I  think  there  is  much  in  use  as  regards  a  hunting  butt,  but 
long  ago  came  to  the  conclusion  that  a  smooth,  slippery, 
polished  and  nickeled  surface  was  an  abomination — a  treach- 
erous affair,  which  cannot  be  depended  upon,  and  one  to 
cause  a  slip  or  a  miss  at  the  critical  moment  the  arm  is  dis- 
charged, or  just  before.  A  blued  or  case-hardened  smooth 
surface  is  just  as  bad,  and,  without  doubt,  many  a  shot  has 
been  lost  from  that  cause.  Yet  the  shooter  continues  to  shoot 
and  make  occasional  unaccountables,  which  may  not  be  ex- 
plained in  any  other  way.  I  have  known  hunters  to  use  a 
Swiss  butt  plate,  because,  as  they  said  "they  did  not  slip." 
They  did  not  like  them  generally,  but  the  horns  would  hold 
and  could  be  depended  upon. 

How  many  of  the  rifles  having  the  ordinary  and  shotgun 
form  of  butt  and  stocks  are  sent  out  from  the  factories  with 
checked  or  roughened  metal  plates?  It  has  been  tbe  writer's 
experience  to  see  but  very  few. 

Even  on  shotguns  one  may  find  a  great  many  butts  as  smooth 
and  slippery  as  glass. 

Not  long  ago  I  conceived  an  idea  that  the  hunting  butt 
plate  of  a  No.  16  Mayuard  rifles — which  was  almost  useless 
on  account  of  its  smooth  surface — might  be  greatly  improved 
by  checking,  so  I  gave  orders  to  a  gunsmith  to  do  the  job, 
and  take  pains  to  do  it  nicely,  by  which  I  meant  to  cut  it 
down  fine  and  sharp,  similar  to  the  work  done  on  the  grip  of 
a  fine  stock.  It  was  done,  and  although  the  bill  was  more 
tban  I  expected  I  am  satisfied  it  is  worth  more  than  the  dif- 
ference. The  checking  is  quite  fine,  and  the  plate  sticks  like 
a  brother.  It  is  a  success,  and  I  am  now  satisfied  that  the 
flat  butt  is  the  thing.  It  is  what  it  should  be — iron — which 
will  stand  rough  usage  and  protect  the  wood.  As  au  experi- 
ment, I  took  one  of  my  ordinary  butt  plates  and  roughened 
it  by  dotting  all  over  the  end  surface  with  a  prick  punch  and 
hammer.  The  improvement  was  so  marked  (no  pun)  that  I 
have  been  induced  to  write  this  note  to  ask  the  manufacturers 
of  rifles  to  check  or  stamp  the  butt  plates,  so  that  they  will 
not  slip  on  the  clothing. 

I  do  not  claim  to  be  unfolding  anything  new  to  tbe  rifle- 
man. As  stated  at  the  beginning,  we  all  know  it.  Of  course 
we  know  it ;  so  we  know  there  is  a  Sphinx  and  pyramids  in 
Egypt,  but  how  many  of  us  have  seen  them  ?  Or,  if  we  have 
seen  finely-checked  butt  plates,  how  many  of  us  have  tested 
them  ?  There  is  a  vas^  difference  in  a  nicely  checked  surlace 
and  one  merely  bruised  up  into  a  roughened  state,  not  only 
to  the  eye,  but  to  the  "  feel "'  and  all-round  general  utility  of 
the  thing  when  in  use.  It  is  a  simple  matter  anyway,  the 
reader  may  think,  and  not  worth  writing  so  much  about.  It 
may  be  simple  enough,  but  is  by  no  means  insignificant.  It 
is  a  very  important  matter,  as  one  may  at  once  find  when  he 
comes  to  compare  the  two  in  a  day's  or  few  day's  actual 
use. 

With  the  many  rapid  working  cutters  and  machines  used 
in  iron  working  factories  where  guns,  etc.,  are  made,  it  would 
not  add  greatly  to  the  first  cost  of  the  butt  plate  to  have  it 
nicely  checkered.     It  would  add  much  to  the  value. 

I  am  of  the  opinion  that  the  light  arm  may  be  used  success- 
fully in  all  offhand  shooting  if  slipping  at  the  shoulder  is  pre- 
vented. I  form  the  opinion  from  experience  with  a  Colt 
.22-caliber  repeater,  which  has  a  rubber  plate  on  a  shotgun 
butt,  and  "  stays  put."  And,  by  the  way,  has  anyone  ever 
found  a  neater  and  better  hanging  model  than  the  little  .22- 
caliber  Colt  1 — Pompanoosuc  in  Shooting  and  Fishing. 

The  California  Wing  Shooting  Club. 


The  regular  annual  meeting  of  the  oldest  gun  club  in  the 
State  and  one  of  the  oldest,  if  not  the  oldest  in  the  United 
States — the  California  Wing  Shooting  Club,  was  held  in  this 
city  on  Tuesday  evening  last. 

Mr.  E.  W.  S.  Van  Slyke  was  elected  president.  Dr.  S.  E. 
Knowles,  vice-president ;  Crittenden  Robinson,  secretary- 
treasurer  ;  directors,  Dr.  S.  E.  Knowles,  Ed  Fav  and  Robt. 
Liddle. 

By  resolution  adopted  at  the  meeting  a  general  and  very 
cordial  invitation  is  extended  to  the  sportsmen  of  the  dif- 
ferent clubs  to  attend  the  monthly  shooting  events. 

The  club  is  in  a  very  prosperous  condition  financially,  and 
though  in  the  22d  year  of  its  existence  ba>  never  missed  a 
siogle  monthly  event. 

The  first  shoot  of  the  season  will  be  held  at  Oakland  Race 
Track  on  March  4th,  and  the  following  ones  on  the  first  Sun- 
day in  each  month. 

Midwinter  Fair  Shooting  Tournament. 

The  great  Midwinter  Tournament  promises  to  be  a  mam- 
moth success.  The  State  Sportsman's  Association  and  this 
office  are  receiving  iuquiries  everyday  from  Montana,  Idaho, 
Washington,  Oregon  and  the  most  distant  counties  of  this 
State  regarding  the  coming  tournament. 

Arraogemenls  have  been  made  for  an  ample  supply  of  birds. 
There  will  be  numerous  events  of  great  value  to  the  winners, 
and  the  prospects  are  that  the  tournament  will  be  by  far  the 
most  successful  of  any  ever  given  by  this  association.  The 
programme  will  be  out  next  week.  Send  us  your  names  and 
we  will  see  that  you  get  a  copy.  Don't  forget  the  dates — 
April  4th  to  8th  inclusive. 

The  open  season  for  quail,  bob-white,  partridge,  grouse, 
snipe,  rail,  doves  and  all  wild-duck  closes  in  all  of  the  coun- 
ties in  tbe  State  on  March  1st,  with  the  following  exceptions: 
Orange  county,  duck,  snipe  and  rail,  March  15th;  Sacramen- 
to, duck,  March  15lh ;  San  Diego,  doves,  May  1st;  Yuba 
county,  ducks,  March  15th.  All  true  sportsmen  will  bear 
this  in  mind.

Mav  4-5—  California  Midwinter  Exposition  Athletic  Auxiliary's  Fly 
Casting  Tournament.  \Y.  1».  Mansfield,  Secretary.  State  Board  of

The  E.  T.  Allen  Co.  have  just  received  a  fine  assortment  of 
rod?-,  reels,  lines,  leaders  aud  Dies  especially  adapted  to  tour- 
nament work.     See  their  special  advertisement. 

Purchase  your  anelinggoods  of  the  dealers  that  patronize 
the  sportsmen's  papers.  They  advertise,  and  in  consequence 
have  to  keep  a  larger  assortment.  Their  trade  is  larger  and 
of  necessity  their  goods  are  fresher  ind  more  reliable.  Con- 
bult  our  advertising  columns. 


Subscriptions  to  the  Fly  Casting  Tournament  are  now  in 
order.  Nearly  $200  will  be  required  to  pay  the  current  ex- 
penses of  the  tournament  and  the  anglers'  convention.  Every 
angler  in  this  city  should  contribute  bis  mite.  Subscriptions 
will  be  thankfully  received  by  the  secretary-treasurer,  W.  D. 
Mansfield,  State  Board  of  Trade. 


Messrs.  Clabrough,  Golchero;  Co.  have  just  received  some 
fine  Leonard  Tournament  rods  made  to  their  order,  single  or 
with  extra  joints  and  lips,  also  special  casting  lines,  flies 
and  leaders  lor  tournament  use.  Split  bamboo  rods  from  $2 
to  $50,  fine  Kent  reels,  an  invoice  of  Leonard  reels,  new 
leader  boxes  and  tly  hooks  and  a  list  of  angler's  necessities 
loo  numerous  to  mention.  They  have  a  large  invoice  of 
English  novelties  on  the  way  that  should  arrive  very  shortly. 

E.  T.  Allen  Co.  has  just  received  a  stock  of  inimitable  trout 
and  bass  flies,  with  bodies  made  of  rubber  in  the  natural  color 
and  wings  that  are  also  of  gauzy  rubber  died  exact  duplicates 
of  the  natural  wings.  They  are  made  to  patterns  from  natural 
flies  from  the  coaat  and  mountain  streams,  viz.,  the  caddis, 
mayfly,  stonetly  and  others,  also  the  latest  improvements  in 
trout  and  bass  hooks.  The  Perfect  Singe  gut  is,  as  the  name 
indicates  absjlutely  perfect.  The  hooks  are  of  the  Carlisle 
bend,  and  are  as  strong  directly  under  the  barb  as  at  any  other 
point,  a  quality  much  sought  by  expert  anglers.  The  hooks 
are  bronzed  to  prevent  rusting  and  are  put  up  by  Allcock  in 
his  pateut  wrapper.  This  firm  is  also  showing  some  exquisite 
goods  in  the  way  of  fine  Scotch  aud  gossamer  leaders  of  per- 
fect undrawn  gut,  and  in  addition  to  the  immense  stock  of 
trade  tackle  are  showing  some  wonderful  creations  in  fine 
trout  flies,  light  rods  and  aluminum  reels.  Their  display  this 
spring  is  far  superior  in"  selection  and  quality  to  any  ever 
shown  by  this  popular  firm. 

Referring  to  the  challenge  of  Mr.  James  Kerss,  of  Sprous- 
tou,  to  Mr.  Leonard,  the  American  champion,  to  engage  iu  a 
fly-casting  contest,  '*  Vanderdecken  "  in  the  London  Graphic 
says  :  "  My  taste  lor  international  contests  is  not  as  keen  as 
it  was,  but  I  am  amenable  to  the  allurements  of  novelty,  and 
this  quality,  it  must  be  admitted,  attaches  to  a  match  which, 
on  one  side  at  least,  it  is  proposed  to  hold.  It  is  no  other  than 
a  fly  casting  contest  between  the  champions  of  America  and 
Scotland.  .Mr.  James  Kerss,  the  Scotsman,  is  the  challenger, 
and  tbe  person  he  is  anxious  to  make  his  opponent  for  the 
occasion  is  Mr.  Leonard.  Mr.  Leonard  has  made  himstlf  a 
uarae  for  some  years  now  as  the  most  accomplished  caster  of 
both  salmon  and  trout  fly  in  the  United  States.  Being  a 
manufacturer  of  split  cane-rods,  superiority  for  which  for 
custing  purposes  is  claimed  by  numbers  of  people,  of  course, 
including  the  makers,  Mr.  Leonard  practised  assiduously,  and 
succeeded  in  surpassing  all  opponents.  His  chief  feat  I 
imagine  to  have  been  the  casting  of  a  trout-lly  with  a  single- 
handed  rod  over  one  hundred  feet.  Flv-casting  tournaments 
have  beeu  held  on  several  occasions  iu  Eogland,  and  it  is 
claimed  that  at  one  of  them  Major  f  reherne  cast  a  salmon  fly 
some  forty-two  feet.  Pat  Hearns,  a  noted  fisherman  (ghillie 
he  wou.d  be  called  in  tbe  Highlands),  of  Ballina,  was  stated  to 
have  cast  over  forty -one  feet.  These  distances  may  not  ap- 
pear great  on  paper,  but  on  grass  they  assume  their  formidable 
dimensions." 


The  Fly  and  Lure  Casting  Tournament. 

The  committee  appoiuted  by  the  California  Midwinter  Ex- 
position Athletic  Auxiliary  to  draft  a  programme  and  rules 
for  the  fly  casting  tournament  reported  on  Tuesday  evening 
last  at  tbe  Palace  Holel,  Sau  Francisco,  to  an  audience  of 
forty-three  enthusiastic  anglers  and  no  less  enthusiastic  re- 
porters. Col.  G.  C.  Edwards  presided,  the  other  members  of

The  meeting  wafl  called  to  order  at  8:15.  Col.  Edwards 
explained  briefly  the  ohjeets  of  the  meeting  and  he  ex- 
pressed the  hope  that  at  the  convention  of  anglers  to  be  held 
on  one  of  the  nights  during  the  tournament,  a  permanent 
organization  would  be  perfected.  A  discussion  of  the  pro- 
B  and  rules  followed.  Each  section  wns  explained 
and  discussed  at  considerable  length  but  few  alterations  were 
found  necessary,  however. 

After  the  adoption  of  the  rub's  as  given  below  a  snbscrip- 
lion  was  started  to  defray  the  expenses  of  the  Tournament. 
Tin-  hat  was  passed  around  ami  $41.76  was  paid  in  on  the 
spot.  The  committee  on  rules  was  requested  to  open  a  sub- 
scription list  and  every  enthusiastic  angler  in  San  Francisco 
i*  hereby  riijueatcd  to  contribute  a  few  dollars  toward  the 
good  cau<c. 

Mr.  Wakeman  made  a  motion  that  a  permanent  organiza- 
tion be  perfected  al  once,  hul  after  some  discussion  it  was 
thought  i bat  it  would  be  wiser  to  defer  Bncta  action  until  the 
convention,  when  anslera  from  all  parts  of  the  State  will  he 
sod  h  >rganizatioo  t,f  much  more  power  and  wider 
scope,   with   c  dicers  in   various  parts  of  the  State,  would 

r.-.iilt. 


Dr.  Leonard,  of  Idaho,  entertained  the  audience  for  a  few 
moments  with  a  graphic  description  of  the  game  and  fish  re- 
sorts of  Idaho.  Among  other  things  he  described  a  red-fish 
that  is  only  found  in  two  lakes  and  their  tributaries.  He  de- 
scribed them  as  weighing  something  like  six  to  eight  pounds 
at  maturity,  much  like  the  salmon  in  conformation  but  bright 
red  in  color  except  the  belly  which  is  a  reddish  white.  They 
take  the  hook  indifferently,  make  a  game  fight  when  hooked 
but  are  caught  mostly  by  spearing. 

The  tournament  will  be  held  on  the  lagoon  surrounding 
Strawberry  Hill,  Golden  Gate  Park,  on  May  4th  and  5th  next 
and  if  the  enthusiasm  shown  at  present  is  any  criterion,  there 
will  be  a  large  number  of  contestants. 

After  tbe  meeting  adjourned  the  committee  went  into  ex- 
ecutive session  and  decided  to  print  2,500  copies  of  the  pro- 
gramme aud  rules  governing  the  tournament  at  once  and  dis- 
tribute them  throughout  the  Coast  States.  The  committee 
then  adjourned  to  the  call  of  the  chair. 

The  programme  of  the  tournament  and  the  rules  and  regu- 
lations adopted  to  govern  same  were  as  follows  : 

CONTESTS. 

1.  Fly  castfng  for  distance. 

2.  Fly  casting  for  distance  and  accuracy  combined. 

3.  Light  rod  casting  for  distance,  accuracy  and  delicacy 
combined. 

4.  Fly  casting  with  salmon  tackle  for  distance. 

5.  Lure  (Spoon,  Minnow  or  Bait)  casting  for  distance  and 
accuracy. 

BULES  TO  GOVERN  CONTESTS. 

1.  Officers — Each  contest  shall  be  under  the  direction 
of  a  referee,  two  juoges,  a  time-keeper  and  a  clerk. 

The  clerk  shall  see  that  each  contestant  is  properly  regis- 
tered and  that  his  tackle  conforms  to  the  rules  governing  the 
particular  contests  in  which  he  is  about  to  engage.  Tbe 
clerk  shall  keep  the  records  of  the  contests  for  which  he  is 
clerk. 

The  timekeeper  shall  indicate  by  means  of  a  fiag  tbe  be- 
ginning and  the  ending  ot  the  period  of  time  allotted  to  each 
contestant. 

The  judges  shall  determine  the  degree  of  excellence  of 
each  performance  aud  shall  make  the  awards. 

The  referee  shall  decide  cases  in  which  the  judges  disa- 
gree, or  when  a  contestant  shall  appeal  from  the  decision  of 
tbe  judges.  The  referee  shall  interpret  the  rules  in  case  of 
any  misunderstanding.  In  matters  not  covered  by  the  rules 
the  referee  shall  decide.  The  decision  of  the  referees  shall 
be  final.  [!t  was  voted  at  the  meeting  that  in  all  matters 
not  covered  by  these  rules,  the  rules  of  the  Chicago  Fly 
Casting  Club  shall  govern. — Ed.] 

2.  Fee — Tbe  entrance  fee  for  each  contest  shall  be  $2. 

3.  Who  May  Compete. — The  contests  are  open  to  all, there 
not  being,  as  yet,  sufficient  basis  for  a  separation  into  classes, 
but  the  Executive  Committee  may  for  cause  decline  to  receive 
the  entrance  fee  of  any  person,  and  may  decline  to  admit  him 
as  a  contestant. 

4.  Medals. — For  each  event  there  shall  be  a  first  medal  of 
gold,  a  second  medal  of  silver  and  a  third  medal  of  bronze. 
The  medals  shall  be  awarded  in  the  order  of  averages.  The 
highest  average  takes  the  Pacific  Coast  championship,  but  in 
events  1,  4  and  5  the  longest  cast  shall  be  the  Pacific  Coast 
record. 

5.  Hooks,  Lines  and  Reels  — Each  fly  caster  may  use  one, 
two  or  three  flies.  The  kind  of  reel  is  not  prescribed.  The 
leader  for  events  I,  2  and  3  shall  be  of  single  gut  and  shall 
not  be  less  than  six  feet  nur  more  than  nine  feet  in  length. 
The  line  shall  be  free  from  knots  or  any  device  to  add  weight 
to  the  Hue.  For  events  1,  2  and  3  the  hooks  shall  not  be 
larger  than  No.  5.  For  event  4  tbe  hooks  shall  not  be  larger 
than  No.  4-0.  To  prevent  fouling  the  measuring  line  or  the 
buoys,  and  to  prevent  possible  injury  to  the  spectators  all 
hooks  shall  be  broken  just  below  the  barb. 

6.  Rods. — For  event  1  the  rod  shall  not  exceed  eleven  feet 
in  length.  The  weight  is  not  limited.  For  event  2  the  rod 
shall  not  exceed  eleven  feet  in  length  and  shall  not  exceed 
eight  ounces  in  weight.  For  event  3.  the  rod  shall  not  exceed 
ten  feet  in  length  and  shall  not  exceed  five  ounces  in  weight. 
For  event  4  the  rod  shall  not  exceed  eighteen  feet  in  length. 
For  event  5  the  rod  shall  not  exceed  ten  feet  in  length.  The 
weight  of  rod  in  events  4  and  5  is  not  limited. 

7.  Style  of  Casting — For  events  1,  2,  3  and  5  the  casting 
shall  be  single-handed.  For  event  4  the  casting  may  be 
double-handed. 

8.  Time  Allowance— The  time  allowed  each  contestant  to 
extend  bis  line  and  make  his  casts  is  ten  minutes,  no  time 
shall  be  allowed  for  the  replacing  of  lost  flies  ;  but  the  judges 
may  in  their  discretion  allow  time  for  the  rejointing  of  a  rod 
or  the  replacing  of  a  broken  section.  No  cast  in  which  the 
stretcher  fly  is  missing  shall  be  scored.  Each  contestant  shall, 
after  beginning  the  ten  minutes  allotted  to  him,  inform  the 
judges  when  he  desires  the  scoring  to  begin,  calling  score  to 
designate  that  he  is  ready. 

9.  Buoys  and  Scoring — In  casting  for  distance  and  accu- 
racy (Event  2)  there  shall  be  twobouys,  distant  fifty  feet  aad 
sixty  feet  from  the  edge  of  the  casting  platform,  and  there 
shall  be  made  ten  casts  at  each  buoy.  If  the  leader  falls  within 
one  font  of  the  buoy  cast  at,  the  credit  shall  he  ten,  A  de- 
merit of  "m,  for  each  foot  in  excess  of  one  foot  from  the 
buoy  cast  at,  shall  be  made  at  each  cast.  The  sum  of  the 
points  scored  at  both  buoys  divided  by  too  shall  determine 
the  percentage.  In  Event  3,  the  two  buoys  shall  be  distant 
thirty-five  feet  and  forty-five  feet  from  the  casting  platform. 
The  number  of  casts  and  the  distance  demerits  to  be  the 
same  as  in  Event  2.  In  addition  there  shall  be  kept  an  ac- 
count of  the  delicacy,  ten  being  considered  perfection.  The 
total  number  of  poiuts  both  for  accuracy  and  delicacy  at 
both  buoys,  shall  be  added  together  anil  be  divided  by  four 
to  get  the  percentage  of  each  contestant. 

The  platform  shall  be  at  least  eight  feet  square  and  its  sur- 
face shall  not  be  more  than  one  foot  above  the  surface  of  the 
water. 

The  lure  casting  shall  be  done  on  land  on  a  court  thirty 
feet  wide  and  20(1  feet  long,  through  the  main  axis  cf  wbich 
shall  run  a  tape  marked  off  in  feet. 

The  casting  shall  be  done  single  handed  from  one  extremity 
of  the  court.  The  weight  shall  be  a  half  ounce  lead  sinker. 
The  line  shall  run  from  the  reel  and  the  rod  shall  not  exceed 
ten  feet  in  length. 

Three  preparatory  casts  shall  be  made  and  then  five  casts 
for  record.  To  determine  the  record  of  a  cast,  subtract  from 
the  aetual  di-tance,  the  number  of  feet  less  one,  that  the 
Weight  falls  from  the  tape.  The  sum  of  credits  divided  by  5 
shall  determine  the  score  upon  which  the  championship  and 
the  medals  are  awarded,  but  the  greatest  siugle  cast  shall  con- 
stitute the  Pacific  Coast  Record. 


Angling  Notions. 


"An  angler  is  born."  This  is  not  an  announcement  of  the 
birth  of  yet  another  follower  of  Izaak  Wal'on  ;  it  is  an  asser- 
tion that  fell  from  the  lips  of  a  friend  of  mine  recently,  and 
he  meant  it  in  the  light  of  the  other  adage,  "An  artist  is 
born,"  in  wLich,  probably,  there  is  as  much  truth.  Presuma- 
bly this  may  be  taken  to  infer  that  a  successful  angler  or  a 
successful  artist  must  be  possessed  of  a  natural  adaptability 
which  is  born  with  him.  Be  this  as  it  may,  certainlv  there 
are  some  men  who  never  will  make  successful  anglers  even 
though  they  attain  the  years  of  Methuselah  ;  while  with  oth 
ers  it  is  almost  an  impossibility  not  to  fish  artistically  and 
successfully.  The  subject  opens  out  a  vast  field  of  thought 
and  argument.  Why  should  one  man  be  able  to  put  a  dry  fly 
over  a  rising  trout  in  such  a  manner  as  to  command  admira- 
tion and  success,  while  another  succeeds  only  in  scaring  the 
fish,  or  fastening  the  hook  in  his  attendant's  ear,  or  his  own 
person  ?  The  one  sends  his  line  out  as  cleanly  as  possible 
and  with  little  or  no  effort,  the  other  succeeds  only  in  placing 
it  indifferently  upon  the  surface  of  the  water,  or  in  a  heap  at 
his  feet;  and  this  in  the  face  of  the  fact  that  both  have  fished 
frequently,  aud  the  oue  no  more  than  the  other.  Echo  answers 
Why  ? 

In  my  opinion  the  mysterious  power  which  we  know  by 
the  term  of  "love,"  has  a  great  deal  to  do  with  it.  The 
"  born  angler"  loves  his  sport,  and  the  deep  feeling  which  pos- 
sesses him  places  that  sport  in  a  light  so  different  from  that 
in  which  it  appears  to  others  that  his  "  whole  heart  and  soul" 
are  wrapped  up  in  its  successful  pursuit,  and  he  absolutely 
cannot  help  becoming  an  expert.  There  is  even  more  to  be 
said.  "Once  an  angler  always  an  angler,"  is  as  true  as  that 
the  stars  are  above  us,  A  "born  angler"  goes  a-fishing  un- 
til old  age  or  infirmity  prevents  him  from  doing  so.  Your 
shooting  man  frequently  ceases  to  take  an  interest  in  the 
sport ;  cricketers,  football  players  and  others  also  are  very 
apt  to  "  chuck  "up  the  game  in  disgust;  but  he  who  plies 
the  angle  once  will  for  a  certainty  "  angle  and  angle  again." 

I  fail  to  see  why  anglers  should  be  so  generally  accused  of 
uttering  "effulminating  enlargements  of  elongated  veracity." 
Start  a  fish  tale  in  any  company,  and  your  audience  look  at 
each  other  suspiciously,  and  settle  down  into  their  seats  fully 
prepared  to  listen  to  a  lie.  I  once  heard  Mr.  Tom  Pritt  say 
that  a  friend  of  his  had  asserted  that  "Ananias  was  an  angler 
and  it  was  while  he  was  telling  a  fish  tale  that  the  aceideut 
happened  !"  "  But,"  added  Mr.  P.,  "  my  belief  is  that  Ana- 
nias was  a  company  promoter.'"'  Of  course,  anglers  spin 
yarns,  and  very  good  some  of  them  are  ;  but  taken  as  a  body 
they  compare  favorably  with  any  other  men,  in  so  far  as 
truthful  statements  are  concerned,  when  a  lie  wonld  cause 
mischief,  or  wrongfully  cover  a  fault,  or  screen  a  dishonest 
action.  I  say  some  angler's  yarns  are  veiy  good.  One  of  the 
best  I  have  heard  for  some  time  was  told  me  a  short  "time 
ago.  It  may  be  a  chestnut ;  but  even  as  such  it  [is  worthy  a 
paragraph,  here. 

Speaking  of  the  high  state  of  education  reached  by  trout, 
this  piscator  remarked: — "A  startling  proof  of  the  advanced 
standard  to  which  trout  have  attained  is  vouched  for  by  a 
friend  of  mine  who  was  dry-fly  fishing  with  a  companion  on 
a  famous  trouting  river.  Noticing  a  fish  rising  just  below  a 
fringe  of  bushes  he  quietly  and  adroitly  placed  the  fly  about  a 
yard  above  the  tell-tale  rings.  The  fly  floated  down  to  within 
a  foot  of  the  fish,  and  just  then  the  trout  rose,  piscator  felt  a 
pluck  at  the  line,  and  the  fly  disappeared.  Recovering  his 
line  he  found,  upon  examination,  that  the  fly  and  about  a 
foot  of  the  cast  was  gone.  Somewhat  puzzled,  he  mounted 
another  fly  and  once  more  placed  it  over  the  rising  fish. 
The  same  thing  occurred.  Mr.  Trout  rose  before  the  fly 
reached  him,  there  was  a  pluck  at  the  line,  and  the  end  of 
the  cast  and  tbe  fly  disappeared.  A  third  and  a  fourth  cast 
had  the  same  result,  and  then  the  angler  called  to  his  com- 
panion and  told  bim  of  the  strange  occurrence.  It  was 
decided  that  the  companion  should  creep  up  the  bank  and 
endeavour  to  see  what  really  took  place.  As  soon  as  be  got 
to  a  point  of  vantage  from  which  he  could  plainly  see  the 
fish,  he  signalled  to  his  friend,  who  once  more  made  a  cast ; 
and  once  more  the  fish  rose  before  the  fly  reached  him,  and 
the  fly  and  a  portion  of  tbe  cast  was  gone.  But  this  time 
the  mystery  was  out !  The  companion  saw  Mr.  Trout 
deliberately  rise  to  the  line,  bite  off  the  end  of  the  cast  and 
swim  away  with  the  short  end  of  gut,  to  which  was  attached 
the  fly,  in  his  mouth.  The  friend  saw  more ;  he  saw  the  trout 
swim  under  the  bushes  and  return  without  the  fly,  and  resume 
his  original  feeding  position.  Curious  to  know  what  had 
been  done  with  the  fly,  the  friend  crept  down,  and  there  on 
the  bank  next  to  the  water  was  a  smooth  mossy  part  in  which 
the  trout  had  stuck  the  fly.  The  fish  was  evidently  making 
a  collection  of  trout  flies,  and  in  a  very  orderly  manner,  too, 
for  the  flies  were  arranged  regularly,  and  in  sections,  for  each 
month  of  the  year,  starting  with  a  February  red,  and  follow- 
on  with  March  browns,  duns,  gnats,  spinniers,  Mav  flies, 
August  duns,  etc.,  and  finishing  up  with  a  really  creditable 
collection  of  red  tags!" — "Ibis  Tag,  in  London  Rod  and

Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association — That  there 
is  material  enough  to  construct  the  proposed  association  is  be- 
yond reasonable  dispute.  The  li?t  of  members  of  the  Ameri- 
can and  National  Associations  shows  that  California  has 
forty-one  affiliated  with  these  societies,  Oregon  eight,  Mon- 
tana eight,  Nevada  two,  New  Mexico  two,  Arizona,  Idaho, 
Utah  and  Wyoming  one  each.  This  gives  a  total  of  sixty- 
five,  and  as  Eastern  estimates  are  made  on  the  basis  of 
twenty-five  per  cent,  for  associations  outside  of  these  holding 
membership,  there  are  now  about  one  hundred  in  the  terri- 
tory included  in  the  above  list.  Eut  restricting  the  calcula- 
tion to  the  number  already  enrolled  it  would  seem  that  with 
close  management,  the  amount  now  paid  will  be  sufficient.  I 
■  was  pleased  with  the  remark  of  a  man  who  is  well  posted  on 
the  expenses  which  are  likely  to  be  incurred  by  the  new  asso- 
ciation that  being  "  that  whatever  the  available  funds  were, 
the  work  must  be  done,  and  well  done,  for  that  and  with  a 
margin  left  at  the  close  of  the  seasOD." 

At  the  very  lo*vest  estimate  these  sixty-five  members  have 
sent  East  $4,000.  The  American  in  its  financial  statement 
gives  the  average  net  cost  per  member  as  $14.55,  the  very 
large  membership,  806,  being  the  cause  of  so  small  an  outlay. 
Thus  the  Naiional  on  the  same  outlay  for55S  members  would 
be  at  an  average  cost  of  $21,  but  as  the  expense  account  of 
the  National  is  in  excess  of  the  American,  that  is  to  the  best 
of  my  recollection,  not  having  the  statement  for  reference, 
the  average  cost  will  be  increased  to  the  older  institution. 
Now  it  might  appear  that  when  the  whole  cost  is  to  be  di- 
vided among  sixty-five  that  the  average  would  be  far  bevond 
the  allotted  sum.  Were  the  expenses  anywhere  near  the 
cost  of  running  the  Eastern  machines  there  would  be  no 
hopes  now,  not  a  shadow  even,  none  for  the  future. 

The  expense  account  of  the  American  reaches  $23,261.81. 
The  ratio  between  806  and  65,  to  some  extent,  figures  in  the 
calculation,  but  there  are  other  points  which  can  be  greatly 
lowered,  one  of  them  entirely  cancelled.  That  is  rent  $1200, 
which  I  am  sure  there  is  no  necessity  for  counting.  Postage 
and  telegraph  $991.69,  probably  one  hundred  dollars  will  cover 
that.  "Salaries  and  general  expenses"  Sl2,848. 46,  $2,500 
for  the  opening  year  are  my  figures.  "Meetings  of  Biennial 
Congress,  Board  of  Appeals  and  Conference  Committee" 
$3,7s8  53,  $300  is  enough  for  a  beginning  with  us.  Twenfy- 
nine  hundred  dollars  outside  of  "equipments"  then  is  the 
sum  total,  and  in  any  event,  printing  stand  books  and  rules 
eveo,  the  cost  would  be  provided  for. 

But  I  have  the  utmost  confidence  in  the  magnanimity 
of  the  American,  and  when  it  is  decided  that  the  proposed 
association  shall  be  organized,  an  arrangement  can  be  made 
whereby  rules  and  equipments  can  be  obtained  for  the  nearly 
net  cost  to  that  institution,  merely  enough  added  to  remun- 
erate for  the  trouble  of  handling  the  extra  supply.  It  may 
be  thought  the  height  of  presumption  in  us  to  anticipate  any 
such  treatment  from  an  association  whose  revenues  are  to  be 
reduced  by  the  proposed  organization,  and  if  it  were  other- 
wise than  an  intimate  acquaintance,  on  my  part,  with  many 
of  the  chief  men  in  that  institution,  and  an  absolute  knowl- 
edge that  the  advancement  of  light-harness  horse  interests 
was  above  all  mercenary  motives,  the  prophesy  would  not  be 
hazarded.  As  it  stands  I  make  it  without  any  hesitancy,  and 
adding  20  per  cent  to  the  net  cost  of  supplies  furnished  mem- 
bers to  make  amends  for  the  slight  decrease  in  its  membership 
consequent  upon  the  establishment  of  the  Pacific,  this  will  be 
$390  for  the  sixty-five  members  which  are  expected.  It  may 
be  that  the  National  would  be  equally  as  ready  to  contribute 
through  my  better  acquaintance  with  the  Western  institution 
gives  more  faith  in  that  than  one,  perhaps  equally  as  well 
worthy,  though  further  away,  and  not  so  able  to  be  generous, 
inasmuch  as  its  membership  is  558  against  808.  What  the 
proportion  is  on  this  coast  I  am  unable  to  say,  but  on  a 
basis  of  equal  representation  321  to  each. 

Here  is  another  argument  in  favor  of  a  home  organization 
which  so  far  has  not  been  advanced,  that  being  one  court  in 
place  of  two  to  settle  disputes.  Divided  between  two  it  is 
well  within  bounds  to  say  that  a  person  might  have  two 
suits,  one  to  be  decided  at  Hartford,  the  other  at  Chicago, 
and  these  with  months  intervening  between  the  trials.  It 
is  supererogatory  to  dwell  upon  the  advantages  which  will 
follow  the  organization  of  a  home  society  in  this  hypothetic 
case,  as  they  are  beyond  refutation,  and  that  it  might  be 
presented  is  not  outside  of  the  line  of  probability. 

It  is  nearly  as  much  out   of  the   way  to  consider  anything 

save  the  financial   problem,   and   again   the  assertion  of  my 

friend  will  come  in  good  place.     "Cut    your  coat  according 

to  your  cloth"  is  one  of  the   many    maxims  bearing  on  the 

situation  and  very  heartily  I  join  in  saying  the  work  can  be 

done  and  well  done  for  the  amount  available.

A  Mistake. — "  It  was  Charles  Robinson,  who  sold  the 
late  Senator  Stanford  jhis  first  stallion,  when,  many  years 
since,  the  Californian  came  East  to  the  then  projected  Palo 
Alto  farm.  The  stallion  was  General  Benton,  for  which  the 
Senator  paid  $25,000."  This  I  find  in  Wallace's  Monthly, 
copied,  probably,  from  some  other  paper.  In  conjunction 
with  E.  H.  Miller,  Jr.,  Gov.  Stanford  owDed  Fred  Low  by 
St.  Clair,  and  before  Palo  Alto  was  probably  thought  of  he 
bought  from  his  brother  the  Hambletonian  stallion  Mohawk 
Chief.  According  to  my  recollection  General  Benton  was 
sent  here  under  the  charge  of  Budd  Doble,  who  was  Mr. 
Robinson's  agent  in  the  sale.  Whenever  I  see  Mr.  Robinson's 
name  a  ludicrous  spectacle  is  recalled  which  was  due  to  Mr. 

R 's    fondness    for  something  out  of  ^the  way   of    the 

"  usual  run."  There  was  a  big  els  kept  at  Dexter  Park  which 
a  young  Irishman  had  the  care  of.  He  was  leading  him  to- 
wards the  track  when  Mr.  Robinson  said:  "Pat,  why  don't 
you  ride  him  ?"  "  Sure  he  is  not  broke,"  was  the  reply,  and 
that  brooght  (he  response  "  break  him,  and  if  he  does  not 
throw  you  off  I  will  give  you  five  dollars." 

Pai  assented,  and  in  order  that  the  ground  should  be  suit- 
able the  rlk  was  taken  on  to  the  inside  track.  For  a  few  sec- 
onds after  Pat  mounted  the  animal  appeared  stupefied  but 
when  he  did  begin  never  bronco  or  mustang  could  approach 
him  in  bucking.    Pal  stuck  well  but  when  the  antlered  head 


was  brought  near  the  ground  and  the  quarters  sent  up  as 
though  dynamite  had  exploded  under  them,  Pat  was  sent 
flying.  Not  high  enough,  however,  to  clear  the  antlers.  He 
went  through  the  splendid  tips,the  inner  prongs  catching  the 
seat  of  his  trousers  so  that  he  was  dangling  much  in  the  same 
manner  as  Walter  Scott  describes  BaileieNicol  Jarvie  in  the 
branches  of  a  tree. 

_  The  material  was  strong  and  the  frantic  animal  could  not 
rid  himself  of  the  unwelcome  burden.  Pat  was  rescued  with 
some  trouble  and  when  "Charlie  "  handed  him  the  five  dol- 
lars and  John  B.Sherman  an  equal  amount  to  buy  anew 
pair  of  trousers  he  signified  his  willingness  to  take  another 
ride.

Harking  Back.— Nearly  two  years  ago  Major  Harnett 
was  at  the  head  of  the  Gun  and  Rod  department  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman.  Fond  of  all  kinds  of  animals 
for  domestic  use,  he  was  always  ready  to  eulogize  their  good 
qualities,  and  frequently  hp  had  stories  to  tell  of  the  great 
cutsness  of  a  cat  which  belonged  to  a  friend.  He  secured 
one  of  her  kittens  and  brought  it  across  the  bay  one  bright 
summer  morning.  A  wonderfully  handsome  feline  of  the  tor- 
toise-shell color,  and  when  she  grew  into  a  cat  she  gave  cor- 
roborative testimony  of  the  truth  of  the  Major's  stories,  and 
that  she  inherited  her  mother's  ability.  She  not  only  kept 
the  barns  and  house  free  from  rats  aDd  mice,  but  she  devel- 
oped a  still  more  sportsmanlike  trait.  Pigeons  from  a  neigh- 
bor's cote  frequented  the  stable-yard,  and  some  of  them  she 
caught  by  a  huge  spring  from  the  corner  of  the  stable.  Bat 
the  birds  grew  wary,  and  then  she  would  burrow  into  the 
loose  straw  until  nearly  hidden,  and  this  strategy  was  often- 
times successful.  She  took  to  roaming  from  home,  however, 
on  her  sporting  excursions;  once  too  often,  as  she  never 
came  back,  to  the  regret  of  the  whole  family.  Among  her 
numerous  progeny  there  was  only  one  tortoise-shell,  which 
was  presented  to  a  friend.  The  others  were  brindied  with 
two  shades  of  yellow  or  grey  and  white.  The  best  mouser 
that  was  retained  on  the  place  was  striped  grey  and  black, 
with  patches  of  white,  and  one  of  her  kittens  is  nearly  the 
pattern  of  her  grandmother,  the  black,  yellow  and  white  in 
regular  order,  distinct  in  outline,  so  that  the  colors  are  not 
blended.  Both  of  the  older  would  watch  like  a  terrier  when 
bales  of  hav  were  moved,  and  a  stroke  of  the  paw  or  a  quick 
bite  all  tbat  was  done  while  mice  were  in  sight.  This  canine 
trait  was  a  new  departure  from  the  usual  feline  tactics,  and 
if  the  tortoise-sheli,  which  is  now  so  much  like  her  grand- 
mother in  form,  color  and  general  qualities,  should  show  the 
same  hunting  qualities  when  pigeons  make  their  appearance, 
and  watch  for  mice  and  rats  when  bales  and  sacks  are  removed, 
killing  morejthao  one  when  more  were  in  sight,  she  will  have 
inherited  a  rarer  attribute  than  resemblance  of  form  and 
color. 

Percentage  in  Book-betting. — Were  aU  the  arguments 
in  favor  of  book-betting  simmered  down  to  the  only  logical 
plea,  tbat  ffould  be  that  it  returns  a  larger  sum  to  the  (£  rac- 
ing fund  "  from  the  same  amount  of  betting  than  would  be  de- 
rived from  pools.  That  it  is  a  much  handier  system  of  gam- 
bling I  am  ready  to  admit,  and  in  that  respect  gives  the  same 
advantage  as  faro  does  over  whist,  "quick  action."  That  is 
celerity  in  getting  the  money  on,  and  likewise  a  higher  rate 
of  speed  in  cashing  "  winning  tickets  "  when  there  are  twenty 
paying  tellers  io  place  of  one.  If  racing  hereafter  is  to  be 
merely  an  adjunct  of  gambling,  book-betting  is  the  thing — 
for  the  croupiers,  punsters  interests  are  on  the  other  side. 

I  have  heard  a  huge  amount  of  kickiog  over  the  three  per 
cent  commission  charged  in  auction  pools,  the  five  per  cent  in 
mutuels,  termed  downright  robbery.  If  over  each  of  the 
bookmakers  boards  the  percentages  which  the  opening  quota- 
tions would  figure  were  marked,  the  most  sangu*ne  supporter 
of  the  system  would  stand  aghast.  Here,  for  instance,  is  a 
case  where  the  average  bettor  would  think  he  was  having  a 
fair  show  for  his  money,  and  until  the  ciphering  is  carried  out 
it  does  not  look  so  bad.  I  quote  from  a  daily  paper  as  fol- 
lows : 

Leveller,  opening  odds,  3  to  1 ;  closing,  4  to  1. 

Clacquer,  opening  odds,  2  to  1 ;  closing,  8  to  5. 

Duke  Stevens,  opening  odds,  8  to  5 ;  closing,  5  to  2. 

Fly,  opening  odds,  3  to  1 ;  closing,  3  to  1. 

Now,  it  does  not  require  any  great  arithmetical  aptitude  to 
understand  tbat  a  race  in  which  four  horses  started,  the  odds 
without  favoring  either  side  would  be  3  to  1.  Should  the  average 
be  less  than  that  the  "  pull"  would  be  in  favor  of  the  layer,  if 
more,  the  taker  would  have  the  best  of  it.  To  make  this 
plain  let  us  suppose  that  the  book  at  these  odds  showed 
$1,000  betted  against  each  horse,  then  : 

Leveller,  $1,000  against  $333. 

Clacquer,  $1,000  against  $500. 

Duke  Stcvpus,  $1,000  against  $625. 

Fly,  $1,000  against  $333. 

The  horses  were  placed  as  they  are  written  and  the  back- 
ers of  Leveller  received  their  own  stakes  plus  $1,000  were 
from  the  layer.  He  receives  from  the  others  $1,458,  leaving 
him  a  profit  of  $458,  45.8  per  cent.  If  Clacquer  had  won 
$191  would  be  the  credit,  19.1  per  cent;  Duke  Stevens  $166, 
16  6  per  cent ;  Fly  $458, 45.8  per  cent.  Those  percentages 
aggregate  127.3  and  that  divided  by  fourshows  the  percentage 
on  the  book  at  the  openiog  odds  to  be  31.8  per  cent.  The 
closing  odds  were  not  so  favorable  for  the  bookmaker  owing 
to  the  retrogression  of  Leveller  and  Duke  Stevens  which  the 
slight  appreciation  of  Clacquer  did  not  offset.  As  the  race 
terminated,  on  the  same  rate,  $1,000  against  each,  the  win- 
ning was$35S,  35.8  per  cent  on  the  investment.  Had  Clacquer 
won  there  would  have  been  a  loss  of  $17,  which  is  a  minuB  of 
1.7  percent.  Duke  Stevens  would  bave  turned  in  $208,  20.8 
per  cent,  and  Fly  $275,  27.5  per  cent.  The  sum  of  the  favora- 
ble percentages  is  84.1  from  which  deduct  1.7,  and  (here  is  an 
average  of  19.3.  There  is  a  risk  of  course  in  "getting  round" 
which  demands  attention  and  in  all  probability  there  is  not 
one  time  in  a  thousand  when  the  same  money  is  laid  against 
every  competitor  even  with  so  small  a  field  as  the  one  under 
consideration.  This  may  be  an  advantage.  Should  a  horse 
win  which  has  not  been  laid  against  the  whole  money  is  taken 
in  "  Skinning  the  lamb"  is  the  vernacular  of  the  ring. 

Io  this  instance  as  the  odds  were  lengthened  on  the  win- 
ner, it  is  evident  that  the  "  book  was  not  full "  in  his  ac- 
count, and  more  wagers  were  solicited  against  him  and  Duke 
Stevens,  declined  on  Clacquer  and  in  stain  quo  on  Fly.  The 
daily  paper  reporters  are  fond  of  representing  that  when  the 
favorite  wins  it  is  disastrous  for  the  bookmakers  and  tbat  the 
"  talent  "  has  come  out  victorious  in  a  fray  of  that  kind.  In 
a  "  round  book  "  the  defeat  of  favorites,  success  of  outsiders 


is  by  far  the  most  profitable  to  the  maker.  But  there  are, 
very  many  instances  in  which  the  odds  are  kept  so  far  up  on 
the  favorite,  bookmakers  have  the  best  of  it,  inasmuch  tbat  a 
great  deal  is  required  to  win  a  little,  the  risk  even  of  accidents 
being  considered  to  overbalance  superior  capacity,  or  rather 
the  "  odds  on  "  are  not  equivalent  to  the  chances  of  a  bad 
start  oy  many  of  the  other  backsets  to  horses  in  racing. 

It  is  oftentimes  argued  that  if  the  bookmakers  have  so 
much  the  advantage  as  the  percentage  indicates  all  of  them 
should  be  winners  in  place  of  so  maoy  dropping  out  as  the 
races  progress.  That  may  be  owing  to  their  expenses  being 
so  great  that  there  is  not  business  enough  to  cover  the  outlay. 
One  hundred  dollars  per  day  to  the  track  and  fifty  dollar* 
additional  for  employes,  swell  into  big  figures  when  one 
hundred  days  or  more  are  embraced  in  the  meeting  and 
with  from  twelve  to  twenty  bookmakers  engaged.  Then  if 
round  books  were  possible  there  is  the  temptation  to  go  out- 
side of  the  legitimate  field  and  make  a  purely  speculative  one, 
taking  the  "outside"  in  place  of  the  "inside,"  chance  against 
mathematics.  Then  the  bookmaker  pays  interest,  very 
different  from  winning  it,  and  forfeits  the  advantages  held. 

As  stated  before,  the  racing  fund  is  the  gainer  and  ticket 
and  sheet  writers  benefited  by  the  liberal  salaries  paid.  The 
fund  is  augmented  in  racing  meetings  covering  such  long 
periods  to  an  amount  which  explains  the  support  which  as- 
sociations extend  to  the  system.  With  from  twelve  to 
twenty  bookmakers  engaged  one  hundred  days  racing  means 
$160  000  and  $80,000  additional  for  wages  paid  to  carry  on 
the  business.  Two  hundred  and  forty  thousand  dollars, 
collected  io  tolls  from  the  speculative  division  of  racegoers 
in  a  few  months,  is  anjimmense  sum  to  expend  for  the  grati- 
fication of  the  propensity,  and  there  is  no  other  phase  of 
speculation  which  would  sustain  such  an  outlay.  A  genuine 
gambler  will  "  take  the  chances"  when  the  odds  against  him 
would  appear  prohibitory,  and  were  it  clearly  shown  that 
the  percentage  in  favor  of  the  books  was  double  what  it  is 
there  would  be  plenty  of  victims.  "  Give  me  an  even  chance" 
is  the  cry,  "and  I  will  back  my  opinion"  and  at  the  same 
time  accept  the  most  uneven. 

In  a  conversation  with  a  bookmaker,  who  had  given  up 
his  stand,  he  found  great  fault  with  the  wheel  of  fortune 
which  he  claimed  absorbed  all  the  "sucker  money."  I  was 
tempted  to  ofier  the  query,  is  not  all  money  betted  against 
the  books  sucker  money  ?  But,  inasmuch  as  be  had  informed 
me  that  he  had  taken  his  place  on  the  outside  it  would  be 
equivalent  to  classing  him  in  the  ranks  which  are  peculiarly 
offensive  to  the  sport  who  is  accused  of  beiDg  one  of  that 
huge  army.

Australian  Horses  for  Sale.— Monday  next,  as  will 
be  learned  from  the  advertisement  in  this  paper,  the  Aus- 
tralian horses  imported  by  Mr.  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez  will  be  of- 
fered for  sale  on  the  Bay  District  track  at  2  p.  >i.  A  good 
many  years  ago  I  wrote  a  series  of  articles  for  a  daily  pap^r 
on  horse-breeding,  and  among  other  subjects  took  the  ground 
that  a  change  of  locality  had  the  same  beneficial  effects  in 
animals  as  it  did  in  cereals  and  vegetables.  It  has  long  been 
known  that  oftentimes  surprising  results  came  from  obtaining 
seed  from  a  distance.  Tbat  these  benificent  resultsshould  only 
prevail  in  vegetable  life  did  not  seem  warranted  by  any  known 
law  and  henceforth  there  was  a  solid  basis  for  the  claim.  The 
change  would  necessarily  bring  together  different  elements 
when  stallion  and  mare  were  coupled  from  far  distant 
nativities.  Some  of  the  best  results  from  parents  reared  on 
the  same  soil  have  been  from  inbreeding,  so  that  the  outcross 
cannot  be  credited  with  the  major  portion  of  the  improve- 
ment, and  therefore  it  is  a  fair  inference  tbat  the  importation 
from  a  far-away  country  of  new  material  has  done  its  share. 
Australian  stallions  have  been  wonderfully  successful  on 
California  mares,  and  those  which  have  been  brought  from 
the  East  which  have  had  progeny  in  both  sections  show  the 
best  through  their  California  offspring.  The  success  of  Sir 
Modred,  Darebin,  Cheviot  and  even  Mariner,  who  had  the 
slightest  opportunity,  is  strong  corroboration  of  the  truth  of 
the  theory,  and  that  supported  by  Wildidle,  Norfolk,  Wood- 
burn,  Leinster  and  others.  Joe  Hooker  is  the  only  California- 
bred  stallion  which  can  enter  the  lists  against  the  foreigners 
with  resulting  glory,  and  both  of  his  pareots  were  imported.  I 
do  not  take  the  ground  that  native-bred  will  continue  to  hold 
a  secondary  place  as  I  firmly  believe  that  procreative  ability 
will  be  the  inheritance  of  those  bred  and  reared  on  this  side 
of  the  slope,  as  well  as  the  brilliant  array  of  performers 
which  are  now  to  our  credit.  With  the  very  best  blood  of 
England,  Australasia  and  America  available  it  cannot  be 
otherwise,  as  these  will  be  supplemented  by  climate,  soil  and 
all  requisities  for  the  perfection  of  physic.il  development. 

And  it  must  not  be  inferred  from  the  position  assumed  that 
lack  of  form  and  breeding  can  be  overcome  by  being  brought 
from  a  distance.  These  are  essentials  which  cannot  be  over- 
looked or  the  absence  of  them  condoned,  but  when  united 
with  what  has  heretofore  proved  successful  is  joined  to  a  de- 
sirable element,  and  adds  to  the  value. 

So  far  as  I  can  judge  from  slight  examination  the  form  of 
the  horses  offered  is  of  a  high  class.  Tbat  purchasers  will 
have  before  them  and  can  see  for  themselves. 

The  fashionable  strains  of  Australia  may  not  be  so  well 
known  here  but  that  desideratum  is  well  and  fairly  portrayed 
in  the  sale  catalogue. 

In  brief,  it  can  be  safely  stated  that  the  very  best  blood  in 
Australia  is  represented,  and  that  backed  by  the  premiers 
among  the  racehorses  of  England.

Salinas  Notes. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.j 

Salinas,  Cal.,  February  20,  1S94— As  it  is  a  season  of 
hopes  and  pertuberation,  I  thought  best  to  report,  so  that 
our  fellow  partners  can  know  what  we  are  doing,  whether  we 
are  heard  of  later  on  or  not.  There  is  more  life  and  interest 
manifested  here  this  winter  than  ever  before  in  the  way  of 
preparing  horses  for  the  coming  events.  It  has  been  the  cus- 
tom with  many  to  turn  out  their  horses  in  the  fall  and  take 
them  up  in  the  Spring,  many  times  in  a  low  and  impoverished 
condition,  but  this  winter  nearly  all  have  been  kept  up  and 
exercised,  and  are  in  condition  to  do  good  work  as  soon  as  the 
weather  settles  in  the  spring,  and  if  I  am  not  very  much  mis- 
taken, Salinas  will  not  be  forgotten  when  the  ball  is  out  this 
fall. 

Jimmy  Dwain  has  eight  in  his  string,  including  Bruno, 
2:19,  Auuty  Wilkes,  2:2S,  Salinas  Maid,  2:30  and  some  well- 
bred  and  promising  youngsters,  all  looking  stout  and  waiting 
for  the  programme. 

Mr.  Hammet,  the  lessee  of  the  track,  is  keeping  Eugeneer, 
by  Electioneer,  dam  Lady  Ellen,  by  Carr's  Mambrino,  and 
the  sire  of  Genevieve,  two-year-old,  2:30.  He  also  has  two 
very  promising  two-year-olds,  belonging  to  Mr.  J.  B.  Iverson: 
one  by  Whips  and  one  by  Good  Gift,  which  are  good  colts. 

McCartney  has  Juno  K.,  by  Juoio,  dam  by  Carr's  Mam- 
brino. He  is  a  five-year-old  and  a  very  promising  young 
horse  that  showed  a  mile  here  last  summer  with  but  very 
little  work  in  .2:30.  Mr.  McCartney  has  just  started  his 
stable  and  has  several  other  good  ones  engaged  to  work  about 
the  first  of  March. 

J.  D.  Carr's  string  consist  of  Rex,  2:22J,  by  Anteeo,  dam 
Accident;  Little  Change,  2:31,  by  Carr's  Mambrino,  dam  by 
Elmo;  Eros  Jr.,  2:34V,  by  Eros,  dam  by  Carr's  Mambrino. 
This  colt  was  castrated  his'  fall  and  we  look  for  him  to  be  a 
much  better  horse  than  he  was  last  year. 

Genevieve,  2:20,  two  years  old,  by  Eugeneer,  dam  by  Carr's 
Mambrino.  She  has  grown  and  developed  wonderfully  this 
winter  and  looks  fit  to  meet  her  old  competitors  again  this 
year. 

Uproar,  yearling  black  colt,  by  Sidney,  dam  by  Abbotts- 
ford  and  Columbus,  by  Eros,  dam  by  Carr's  Mambrino,  at- 
tract the  attention  of  everyone. 

Roseta,  the  two-year-old,  by  Eros,  dam  of  Carr's  Mambrino 
full  sister  to  Eros  Jr.;  Ecce,  bay  colt,  three  years  old  by 
Eclectic  (full  brother  to  Arion),  dam  by  Clovis;  sorrel  filly 
Isabella,  by  Lottery,  dam  Mohawk  McC«;  Coralitas,  bay  filly, 
three  years  old,  by  Boodle  (2:19.1),  dam  by  Menlo,  2:2U;  bay 
filly,  two  years  old,  by  Gabilao.dam  Flossy  (dam  of  Gene- 
vieve), by  Carr's  Mambrino;  bay  gelding,  six  years  old,  full 
brother  to  Little  Change,  2:31;  and  last,  but  not  least,  the 
mighty  Boodle,  2:19},  who  is  here  filling  engagements  in  the 
8tud.  Monterey. 


"Woodland  Items. 


A  representative  of  the  Woodland  Mail  paid  a  visit  to  the 
racetrack  yesterday  in  search  of  news  concerning  the  Yolo 
County  Agricultural  Association  and  also  to  inspect  the  many 
horses  that  are  quartered  and  in  training  at  the  association's 
grounds.  , 

This  society  is  now  in  a  flourishing  condition,  and  as  its 
members  are  men  of  energy  and  enterprise,  we  may  expect 
to  see  it  steadily  advance  and  continue  to  be  a  credit  to  Yolo 
county,  and  continue  to  add  new  laurels  to  her  already  wide 
reputation. 

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  directors,  they  decided  to  offer 
two  futurity  stakes  of  the  value  of  $2,000  each.  One  of  these 
events  will" be  open  to  the  world,  and  the  other  will  be  open 
for  colts  foaled  north  of  San  Francisco  and  west  of  the  Sacra- 
mento river.  These  stakes  are  for  colts  foaled  this  spring,  tu 
be  trotted  when  they  are  three  years  old.  Most  of  our  breeders 
have  signified  their  intention  of  entering  their  colts  and  are 
already  in  cummunication  with  the  secretary,  C.  M.  Barney, 
for  information  and  conditions.  Mr.  Barney  will  immediately 
issue  instructions  so  that  all  who  desire  may  take  advantage 
of  this  most  liberal  offer.  This  action  on  the  part  of  the 
directors  shows  the  unbounded  confidence  they  have  in  the 
future  of  Yolo's  association. 

Among  the  trotters  and  runners  now  training  at  the  track, 
the  reporter  found  some  noble  specimens  of  the  racehorse, 
and  though  the  most  of  them  are  young  and  untried,  we  feel 
safe  in  predicting  a  brilliant  future  for  several  of  them. 

H.  S.  Hogeboom  ha*  eight  trotters  and  one  pacer  quartered 
here,  all  of  them  in  fine  condition,  and  with  their  daily  work 
are  fast  coming  to  perfection.  Here  we  saw  the  celebrated 
Waldstein,  sire  of  Native  son,  who  trotted  as  a  three-year- 
old  in  2:29},  and  also  of  Swift  Bird,  2:33}.  Both  of  these 
last-named  youngsters  are  receiving  daily  work  in  prepara- 
tion for  future  contests.  Both  are  entered  in  their  class 
stakes  for  the  breeder's  meeting,  which  takes  place  in  San 
Francisco  next  fall.  In  this  stable  is  also  Lady  Waldstein,  a 
very  promising   two-year-old    in  which  Mr.  Hogeboom  has 

freat  hopes.  He  has  two  yearlings  also  in  training,  but  which 
ave  not  been  worked  sufficiently  to  show  anything  startling. 

Mr.  Stevens  has  five  or  six  trotters  here,  but  as  he  was 
absent  at  the  time  the  reporter  called,  we  did  not  get  any 
particulars,  but  his  horses  are  all  in  fine  fettle  and  Mr. 
Stevens'  well-known  ability  as  a  handler  of  racers  is  a  suffi- 
cient guarantee  that  be  will  be  "  in  it "  when  the  bell  taps 
for  the  start. 

Next  the  Mail  reporter  ran  against  the  genial,  jovial 
Johnny  Blue,  so  well  known  to  all  lovers  of  the  race  horse  in 
Yolo  county.  Mr.  Blue  has  been  among  us  for  years,  and  so 
well  does  he  do  his  work  that  owners  are  continually  en- 
treating him  to  handle  their  racers.  He  has  at  present  ten 
beautiful  animals  in  his  charge,  and  it  is  a  pleasure  to  watch 
the  noble  little  fellows  as  they  lean  to  their  daily  work.  The 
Mail  reporter  with  his  split-second  watch,  caught  some  of 
them  at  eighths  and  quartern  in  exceedingly  fast  time,  and 
Johnny  says  they  will  "  get  there"  in  the  future,  and  re- 
quested the  reported  to  be  sure  and  not  let  this  fact  escape  his 
retentive  memory.  Prominent  among  his  string  are  llallie 
I'..,  Phantom  and  Director  Maid.  The  latter  is  a  beautiful 
two-year-old  filly,  by  Director,  sire  of  the  world-famous 
Directum.  This  filly  has  been  worked  only  a  few  days,  and 
the  reporter  caught  her  an  eighth  in  25  seconds,  a  three- 
ii  iuute  gait. 

There  are  a  good  many  other  horses  wintering  here,  but 
the  owners  or  trainers  were  either  absent  or  in  the  sulky,  and 


the  reporter  could  not  interview  them,  but  promised  to  return 
again  in  the  near  future,  and  more  fully  inspect  the  different 
stables. 

The  buildings  and  grounds  of  the  association  are  all  in  ex- 
cellent condition  and  the  track  is  kept  in  perfect  order  under 
the  direction  of  the  superintendent.  We  are  glad  to  see  this 
spirit  of  push  andflenergy,  and  hope  to  see  Yolo  in  the  front 
rank  as  a  breeder  of  fine  stock. 


Palo    Alto  String  for  1894. 


A  Wonderful  Family. 


In  conversation  with  an  old-time  New  Zealander,  he  waxed 
eloquent  when  speaking  of  "Idalia"  terming  her  as  the 
greatest  mare  he  had  ever  seen.  He  said  "  I  remember  well 
seeing  Betrayer,  Sir  Modred,  Idalium,  Cheviot  and  July  (all 
by  Traducer  from  Idalia)  when  they  were  in  training.  Be- 
trayer, the  smallest  of  them  all,  was  simply  perfection  in 
conformation  and  a  great  race  horse,  but  was  unfortunately 
drowned  swimming  a  river  to  take  part  in  a  race  meeting 
Sir  Modred  was  bigger  than  Betrayer  and  a  wonderful  race 
horse,  and  I  have  heard  the  best  of  judges  declare  him  fault- 
less in  conformation  while  in  training.  I  have  not  seen  him 
for  many  years,  but  I  hear  he  is  still  a  king  among  horses. 
To  my  mind  the  most  beautiful  horse  as  well  as  the  best  race 
horse  of  the  family  was  Idalium,  as  1  remember  him,  black 
as  jet,  and  handsome  as  paint,  I  thought  him  the  most  beau- 
tiful animal  lever  looked  at.  I  saw  him  trained  and  know 
that  during  his  preparation  he  did  a  gallop  that  fairly 
paralyzed  his  trainer.  This  prompted  him  to  try  him  again 
some  days  later,  when  he. repeated  his  performances.  His 
trainer  (Cutts)  told  me  of  all  the  great  race  horses  he  had 
trained  he  had  never  known  such  a  gallop,  but  would  never 
divulge  the  time  shown.  Unfortunately,  in  his  work  later  on, 
Idalium  injured  himself  in  his  near  hind  leg  ;  the  injury  was 
deep  seated  in  the  thigh  and  for  four  years  they  worked  at 
this  horse  hoping  to  get  him  well.  At  times  he  would  be 
apparently  all  right,  but  when  given  fast  work  he  went 
lame.  He  was  sent  to  Sydney  and  sold  at  auction  for  a  very 
high  price  to  a  Mr.  Andrew  Loder,  and  I  have  never  seen 
him  since. 

Cheviot  I  knew  well,  and  what  a  good  racehorse  he  was. 
Many  a  pound  I  have  won  on  him,  but  he  was  not  as  hand- 
some as  his  brother. 

July,  the  last  son  of  Traducer  and  Idalia,  was  unfortu- 
nately foaled  before  the  season,  and  consequently  could  not 
start  at  weights  for  age.  He  was  quite  the  equal  of  his  best 
brothers,  but  I  cannot  say  his  owners  ran  him  as  he  might 
have  been  run.  At  the  time  he  was  on  the  turf-there  was 
very  angry  feeling  about  his  management.  I  think  of  all  the 
mares  1  have  ever  seen  Idalia  was  the  best.  Look  what  her 
sons  have  on  the  turf  and  stud,  and  then  at  her  producing 
daughters. 

Fair  Nell,  by  Apremont,  produced  Loyalty,  one  of  the 
greatest  three-year-olds  in  Australia  to-day,  while  her  full  sis- 
ter produced  Ich  Dien,  a  great  mare,  and  considered  in  Aus- 
tralia as  a  mare  likely  to  make  a  great  name. 

Another  curious  thing  is  noticeable  in  the  fact  that  this 
mare,  Idalia  (dam  of  Sir  Modred)  was  the  only  Cambuscan 
mare  imported  to  the  colonies.  And  she  has  been  prolific  to 
a  wonderful  degree.  She  produced  Betrayer,  Sir  Modred, 
Idalium,  Cheviot,  July — all  by  Traducer,  Liverpool,  by  King 
of  Clubs,  chestnut  filly  by  Apremont,  and  a  bay  filly  by  Apre- 
mont Betrayer  won  the  Canterbury  Champagne  Stakes, 
Canterbury  Cup,  Wauganal  Cup  and  Timarv  Cup  ;  Sir  Mod- 
red  won  the  Dunedin  Champagne  Stakes,  Canterbury  Cham- 
pagne Stakes,  Dunedin  Cup,  Canterbury  Derby,  Timaru  Cup, 
Dunedin  Birthday  Handicap,  Canterbury  Cup,  Chribt  Church 
Plate  and  the  Sydney  Great  Metropolitan.  July  ran  second 
for  the  Dunedin  Cup.  Liverpool  won  the  Welcome  Stakes. 
Cheviot  won  the  Canterbury  Derby,  Midsummer  Handicap 
and  Craven  Stakes,  and  only  Sir  Modred,  his  brother,  could 
beat  him  for  the  Canterbury  Cup.  Idalia  is  the  Pocahantas 
of  New  Zealand — the  queen  of  its  stud.  In  blood  she  is  rare, 
being  a  sister  to  Onslow  (who  beat  Cremorne  in  England  in 
1871),  by  Cambuscan,  out  of  Dulcibella,  who  won  the  Cesar- 
witch  in  1850.  Thus,  her  grandamsare  Beeswing  (Newmin- 
ster's  dam),  Southdown  (Alarm's  dam),  Martha  Lynn  (Vol- 
tigeur's  dam),  and  a  half-sister  to  Pantaloon.

Large  Sale  of  Thoroughbreds. 


The  largest  private  sale  of  thoroughbreds  of  the  season 
was  recently  consummated  by  Col.  S.  D.  Bruce,  of  this  city, 
who  sold  to  Mr.  S.  B.  Hopkins,  of  Dallas,  Texas,  two  stal- 
lions and  twenty-five  broodmares.  The  stallions  are  Prodi- 
gal, by  Spendthrift,  dam  Alia  Vela,  by  Vandal,  and  imp.

The    Oakwood   Park  Catalogues. 

Once  more  are  we  the  recipients  of  the  annual  catalogue 
of  the  standard-bred  trottiog  stock  on  the  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm.  It  is  larger  thau  that  of  any  of  its  prede- 
cessors, and  the  growing  fame  of  Steinway  as  a  sire  of  ex- 
treme speed  is  shown  by  the  long  list  of  "  wonders"  to  his 
credit.  He  is  the  only  sire  except  Hal  Pointer  and  Ethan 
Wilkes  that  has  sired  two  pacers  with  records  of  2:10  or 
batter,  and  he  is  the  sire  of  the  champion  four-year-old  pacer 
of  1892  (W.  Wood,  2:07)  and  the  champion  'three-ye&r- old  pacer 
of  1893  (Free  Coinage,  2:tlJ),  while  his  son,  Chas.  Derby  is 
the  sire  of  the  champion  four-year-old  pacer  of  1S93  (Dia- 
blo, 2:09}),  and  the  way  he  has  bred  on  through  his  sons 
Strathway,  2:19,  Chas.  Derby,  2:20  and  Cassidy,  2:30.  These 
are  his  only  sons  old  enough  to  train.  Chas.  Derby,  2:20, 
Prince  Red,  Wildo  and  Cibolo  are  the  premier  stallions  there. 
The  broodmares  are  all  sired  by  the  leading  representative 
stallions  of  America,  out  of  famous  mares  that  also  trace  to 
the  very  choicest.  The  fillies  and  colts  there  are  all  promis- 
ing, and  with  the  famous  colt  handler,  trainer  and  driver, 
Millard  F.  Sanders,  to  bring  them  outfit  is  no  idle  boast  to 
claim  that  in  one  year  the  value  of  the  stock  on  this  farm 
will  be  greatly  enhancod  by  the  performances  of  the  young- 
sters that  will  leave  there  to  contest  in  the  races  on  the  cir- 
cuit this  fall. 

Rules  for  Track  Laying. 

The  question  is  often  asked,  (iWhat  are  the  rules  for  lay- 
nig  out  mile  and  half-mile  track?"  The  following  simple 
directions  will  be  found  useful :  For  a  mile  track  draw  a 
line  through  an  oblong  center  440  yards  in  length,  setting  a 
Btake  at  each  end.  Then  draw  a  line  on  either  side  of  the 
first  line,  exactly  parallel  with  and  417  feet  2  inches  from  it, 
setting  stakes  at  either  end  of  them.  You  will  then  have  an 
oblong  square  440  yards  long  and  834  feet  4  inches  wide.  At 
each  end  of  these  three  lines  you  will  now  set  stakes.  Now 
fasten  a  cord  or  wire  417  feet  2  inches  long  to  th«  center 
stake  of  your  parallelogram  and  then  describe  a  half-circle, 
driving  stakes  as  often  as  you  wish  to  set  a  fence-post.  When 
the  circle  is  made  at  both  ends  of  your  parallelogram  you 
will  have  two  straight  sides  and  two  circles,  which,  measured 
three  feet  from  the  fence,  will  be  exactly  a  mile.  The  turns 
should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot. 

A  half-mile  track  :  Draw  two  parallel  lines  600  feet  long 
and  452  feet  5  inches  apart.  Half  way  between  the  extreme 
ends  of  the  two  parallel  lines  drive  a  stake,  then  loop  a  wire 
around  the  stake  enough  to  reach  to  either  side.  Then  make 
a  true  curve  with  the  wire,  putting  down  a  stake  as  often  as 
a  fence-post  is  needed.  When  this  operation  is  finished  at 
both  ends  of  the  900-foot  parallel  lines  the  track  is  laid  out. 
The  inside  fence  will  rest  exactly  on  the  line  drawn,  but  the 
track  must  measure  a  half-mile  three  feet  from  the  fence. 
The  turns  should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot.  The 
stretches  may  be  anywhere  from  45  to   60  feet.

The  Sohwartz  Sale. 

Last  Saturday,  in  the  saddling  paddock  at  Bay  District  track , 
the  entire  string  of  racers  belonging  to  Henry  Schwartz  was 
sold  at  auction  by  KilHp  &  Co.  The  sale,  taken  all  in  all, 
was  a  successful  one.  A  fe\vt  notably  Garcia  and  Sands  For- 
man,  did  not  bring  as  much  as  they  appeared  to  be  worth 
but  others  brought  up  the  average.  Following  is  a  list  of  the 
horses  sold,  pedigree,  purchasers  and  prices:

Answer— 8,777. 


issue  wbat  recordfcif  any  has  tbe  stallion  Mon- 
roe, by  Monroe  Chief?  Also  Grey  wood,  by 
Jim  Mulvany?  If  they  have  any  record 
where  did  they  get  it  ?  Are  either  horse  stand- 
ard bred '.'  Answer— Monroe  12,967  is  by 
Monroe  Chief,  out  ot  Lady  Tiflany,  by  Gib- 
ralter.  We  do  not  6nd  any  information  about 
Grey  wood. 


C.  C.  EL— What  record    has    Bertie    Hay- 
ward?    Answer. — None  that  we  can  find. 


B.  B.— What  is  the  pedigree  of  Dudley,  a 
stallion  that  belongs  to  Rohnverville  ?  An- 
swei. — Dudley  was  sired  by  .Anteros,  dam 
Jersey  Lily,  by  Nephew  :  second  dam  Miss 
Trahern,  by  McCracken  143. 

Will  you  please  publish  the  pedigree  of 
Gaviota?  Answer — tiaviota  5u7  is  by  Elec- 
tioneer 125,  out  of  Lady  Ellis,  by  Mohawk 
Chief;  second  dam  Clara,"  by  Paymaster ;  third 
dam  by  Morse  Horse ;  fourth  dam  s  t  b  by 
Mount  Holly. 

Will  you  please  be  kind  enough  to  give  me 
a  little  information  regarding  the  Bay  Pasha 
stallion  foaled  at  J.  B.  Haggin's  ranch  March 
18,  1882,  registered  number  13,050.  Has  he 
got  any  colts  in  the  2:30cla<s  or  better?  The 
names  of  colts,  etc.  Answer — He  has  a  record 
of  2:273,  but  has  do  representatives  in  the 
2:30  List. 

C.  H. — I  wrote  you  yesterday  to  give  me 
the  pedigree  of  Inauguration  in  your  nest 
issue.  Since  then  I  remember  I  didn't  state 
whether  he  waa  a  trotter  or  a  runner.  He  was 
a  trotter.  Answer — He  was  a  thoroughbred 
owned  by  William  Boots,  and  by  Wildidle, 
dam  Miami,  by  Belmont. 


C.  C. — I  own  a  fine  young  stallion  sired  by 
Richards'  Elector  out  of  a  mare  by  Haralson's 
Corsica.  Can  you  tell  me  anything  of  the  ped- 
igree of  this  horse?  He  stood  at  or  near 
Stockton  in  the  early  '70s.  Answer — Perhaps 
Wash.  Trahern,  L.  l\  Shippee  or  Senator  B 
F.  Langford  can  furnish  this  information. 
We  can  find  no  trace  of  the  horse  in  our 
books. 


W.  D. — Will  you  please  inform  me  which 
is  correct,  viz.:  If  you  make  a  race  to  harness 
does  that  mean  that  the  contestants  must  go  to 
bike  or  to  sulky  ?  Answer — It  is  generally 
understood  now  that  the  contestants  can  go 
either  with  a  high-wheeled  sulky  or  a  bike 
sulky,  although  all  owners  who  wish  to  win 
prefer  the  latter.  A  bike  is  a  sulky,  the  only 
difference  between  it  and  the  old-fashioned  one 
is  that  bicycle  wheels  are  used. 

D.  D. — I  wish  you  would  inform  me  through 
your  paper  if  Gossiper.  2:14],  by  Simmons,  is 
a  registered  horse,  and  if  so,  what  is  his  num- 
ber? Also  if  the  thoroughbred  horse  Jack 
Hawkins  sired  any  trotters,  or  the  sires  or  dams 
of  trotters,  and  oblige  a  constant  reader. 
Answer — Gossiper's  number  is  12,008.  Jack 
Hawkins  sired  Fanny  Fern,  dam  of  Balkan, 
2:15,  and  Molly  Drew,  2:27  ;  Young  Mare, 
dam  of  Echora,  2:23A  ;  Jennie  Wells,  dam  of 
Little  Doc,  2:25,  and  the  dam  of  Geneva, 
2:26  J. 


Subscriber-- T  write  you  for  some  reliable 
information  about  the  stallion  Leumar,  said  to 
have  a  record  of  2:16}-.  Ts  this  horse  regis- 
tered ?  What  is  his  number  ?  If  not,  why  ? 
Answer — There  is  no  "said  to  have  a  record" 
about  Lenmar.  lie  got  his  record  of  2:1G}  at 
Stockton,  September  24,  1H92.  In  order  to 
have  him  registered  it  would  be  necessary  to 
have  his  dam  registered,  then  he  would  be 
eligible  for  registration.  His  sire,  Admar, 
cannot  be  registered  until  he  gets  another  in 
the  list. 

A.  R—  When  wan  Clementine  foaled '.'  What 
is  her  pedigree?  What  is  her  record  nnd  where

bility is  that  she  is  not.

DIRECT,  2:051-2. 

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Term.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08 J,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27$,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race? 

DIRECT  will  make  the  season  of  1894  at  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  for  fifteen  approved  outside 
mares 

TERMS  -  -  $200 

With  a  return  privilege  or  the  money  refunded.  Good  pasturage  and  good  care  at  $4 
per  month,  but  no  risk  for  accidents.

St.  SAVIOUR. 

6T.  SAYIOl'K  [son  of  Kolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
Is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DkBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  tbree  times  first  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Stakes,  l)&  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Rarltan  Stakes,  1M  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Erneet-Mlnilcoltand  fourothersin  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  inlle,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Ratnplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Stakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  raceho  se,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eollst  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St,  Savl  ur's  sire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  Immortal  Leaming- 
ton, sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Se  sation. 
St.  Saviour  has  demonstrated  his  worth  at  the  stud,  with  compar- 
atively limited  opportunities,  and  owners  of  well-bred  mares  take 
no  clianoes  In  breeding  to  such  a  tried  race  ihorse  and  sire. 

St. -SAVIOUR'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  UREKXB4CK  (sou  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satar.ella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  In  this  country,  and  Green  Shauk,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-yea'-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (.handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  Qeh1  of 
fourteen  good  ones;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
Klmbolton  Welter  Handicap,  12G  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others;  beaten  a  heid  for  Members' Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
hy  Tbormanby-Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winuer  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.  His  youngsters  are  exceedingly  promising,  aud,  royatly-bred 
as  he  is,  and  a  sire  of  stake-winners,  there  can  be  no  mistake  in 
breeding  to  Imp.  Greenback. 


OWAS. 


GREENBACK'S  SERVICE  FEE  IS  $75. 

— — ^— — —    FEES    PAYABLE    AT   TIME    OF    SERVICE.    ^ — 

We  offer  Good  Pasturage  at  $4  per  Month.    Mares  will  be  Fed  Hay  and  Grain,  if  Desired,  at  Reasonable  Rates 


OWAS  Is  a  young  horse,  almost  a  full  brother  to  the  world- 
renowned  Iroquois,  winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  sire  of  Tam- 
many, greatest  race  horse  of  1892  and  1893,  being  by  Reform  (son  of 
imp.  Leamington),  dam  Maggie  B.  B.,  dam  of  Iroquois,  Harold, 
Francesca,  Pauique  and  Okema.  Owas  is  thoroughly  untried,  never 
having  been  bred  to  more  than  three  mares  in  his  life.  The  services 
of  Iroquois,  almost  full  brother  to  Owas,  cannot  be  secured  at  any 
price,  and  there  can  be  no  reason  set  forth  why  Owas  should  not 
pr  .ve  just  as  successful  as  his  famous  relative  in  the  stud.  Ow ^s  is  a 
bay  horse,  of  good  size,  a  magnificent  individual,  and  can  scarcely 
fail  to  prove  a  great  sire.  The  family  from  which  Owas  came  is  the 
greatest  ever  known  in  America,  in  all  probability.  Reform  his 
sire,  got  Civil  Service,  Azra  (Kentucky  Derby  winner),  La  Belle  N., 
Blushrose  and  many  other  celebrities  of  the  turf,  while  his  dam, 
Maggie  B.  B.,  threw  more  stake-winners  than  any  mare  In  America. 
We  all  know  how  great  Leamington  was.  In  order  to  prorewhat 
we  thiak  of  this  young  horse  it  has  been  decided  to  offer 

OWAS'  SERVICES  AT  $50.

Of  feet  Loyalist  Is  a  typical  Marquis  horse,  dm  ng  hard 
and  muscular,  standing  over  a  lot  of  ground,  with  short, 
strong  back,  and  with  wonderfully  muscular  quarters. 
His  bead  and  neck  are  models  of  symmetry,  his 
shoulders  are  well-placed,  and  he  Is  all  over  "  horse 
showing  a  grand  constitution— a  most  excellent  point 

The  Buccess  of  the  Marquis*  sons  as  sires  in  Australia 
Is  truly  remarkable,  Newminster,  one  ot  them,  being 
admlttedlv  one  of  the  best  in  the  Colonies.  Loyalist  B 
sire-Tin-  Murquls-won  the  Doneasler  St.  Leger  and

Stock  Farm  For  Sale. 

One  of  the  6nest  stock  farms  in  California,  consisting  of  aboutone  hundred  acres  of  rich 
soil,  twenty  acres  of  which  in  alfalfa,  well  watered  and  fenced.  It  is  one  of  the  best-appointed 
places  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Napa  river.  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
it.  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  style, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth, elegantlyprinted 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  StBel,  says  ot 
this  book :  "  In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  Oie 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
developeto  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  hands  ot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

HORSES  are  FED,  'WATERED 
and  CLEANED  to  keep  them  in 
good  order.  "Why  neglect  their 
feet  without  the  proper  use  of  which 
they  are  worthless? 

Driven  on  hard  roads  the  foot  is  the 
first  part  of  the  horse  that  will  show 
signs  of  wear  and  the  horse  is  soon 
laid  up  lame. 

Therefore  take  the  advice  of  the  wise 
man  who  said  "leave  nothing  to  what 
is  called  luck  and  you  will  generally  be 
considered  lucky."  The  universal 
opinion  of  the  best  horsemen  in  the 
country  is  that

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


Hal  Fisher  was  a  well-played  favorite  for  the  first  race, 
notwithstanding  Annie  Moore  had  beaten  him  handily  two 
days  before  at  a  smaller  difference  in  her  favor  than  to-day. 
Annie  Moore  and  Duke  Stevens  were  at  4  to  1  each,  the  lat- 
ter backed  down  from  G  to  1.  Komair  was  at  6,  Trix  12, 
Clacquer  25  and  Jessie  Sturgill  200  to  1.  Hal  Fisher,  Trix 
and  l)uke  SteveDS  acted  badly  at  the  post,  delaying  tbe  start 
thirty-five  minutes.  Finally  the  flag  fell,  and  the  order  was 
Annie  Moore,  Trix,  Clacqner  and  Hal  Fisher.  Anine  Moore 
was  first  to  the  half-pole  by  half  a  length,  Trix  second,  as  far 
from  Hal  Fisher,  on  whom  Clacquer  was  lapped.  Annie 
Moore  was  first  a  head  turning  into  the  homestretch,  Trix 
second,  a  length  from  Fisher,  he  a  neck  from  Clacquer. 
About  a  furlong  from  home  Annie  Moore  fell  back,  and 
Trix  and  Clacquer  raced  head-and-head  to  the  end,  Clacquer 
winning  by  a  nose  from  Trix,  who  was  two  lengths  in  front 
of  Annie  Moore,  third,  she  five  leogths  from  Hal  Fisher. 
Time,  1:05}.  Covington  was  set  down  for  two  weeks,  Jones 
for  the  meeting,  and  Charley  Weber  was  fined  $50. 


THIRTY-SIXTH  DAY — FRIDAY,   FEBRUARY  23D. 

ORM-PLAYERS  were  hit  hard  in 
four  out  of  the  five  events  to-day. 
In  other  words,  long  shots  had 
their  running  clothes  on  this  after- 
noon, and  set  at  defiance  the  cal- 
culations of  the  talent.  Tbe  day 
^was  a  pleasant  one,  but  it  was  cloud- 
ing up  in  such  a  manner  that  the 
sun  did  not  have  much  of  a  chance. 
The  attendance  was  not  far  from  2,500,  and  tbe  racing  was 
fairly  interesting.  While  there  was  some  improvement  in 
the  track,  it  was  still  very  heavy  in  spots,  and  the  light,  frail 
horses  were  anchored  in  the  homestretch. 

A  25  to  1  shot  (.Clacquer)  set  the  agony  ball  a-rolling.  Ly- 
ing fourth  to  the  homestretch,  he  came  out  of  the  bunch  like 
a  rocket  once  they  were  straightened  out  for  home,  as  did 
Trix,  and  a  most  interesting  tussle  resulted  in  Clacquer  win- 
ning by  a  nose,  with  Annie  Moore  third.  Hal  Fisher,  the 
hot  favorite,  was  a  poor  fourth.  Just  why  he  was  made  the 
choice  of  the  talent  was  hard  to  say.  They  were  over  half  an 
hour  at  the  post,  due  to  the  bad  actions  of  several  jockeys 
whom  Starter  Ferguson  punished. 

Malcolm  acted  like  a  crazy  horse  in  the  second  race,  nearly 
killing  the  starter's  assistants  and  wearying  the  spectators  for 
aboutlhirty  minutes.  Finally  the  Hag  fell,  and  Braw  Scot 
led  to  the  homestretch.  When  he  reached  the  heavy  clay  he 
shut  up,  and  Rube  Burrows  came  on  like  a  streak  and  «-on 
easily  by  a  length  from  the  long  shot,  Viceroy.  Malcolm 
was  not  in  the  hunt,  while  Seville  stumbled  near  the  quarter- 
pole  and  was  soon  out  of  it. 

Gilead,  second  choice  at  4i  to  1,  led  all  the  way  in  the 
mile  handicap,  beating  the  2~  to  5  favorite,  Lodowic,  three 
lengths.  Old  Democrat  got  the  show  by  a  nose,  and  for  a 
wonder  did  not  bleed. 

Southern  Lady,  favorite,  led  all  the  way  in  tbe  fourth  race, 
and  getting  the  dry  path  in  the  straight,  won  handily  by  a 
length  from  Folly,  who  made  a  good  run  in  the  straight. 
Esperance  was  a  good  third.  Lodi  ran  prominently  to  the 
homestretch,  and  then  shut  up. 

Another  big  upset  was  had  in  tbe  last  race.  Melanita  was 
an  odds-on  favorite,  and  would  have  won  had  she  been  sent 
along  in  time  to  get  the  path  in  the  homestretch  that  Nico- 
demusgot.  Tbe  latter  was  a  10  to  1  in  the  betting.and  quite 
a  sum  was  won  by  those  in  on  the  know.  The  favorite  fin- 
ished second  and  Ryland  third. 

The  successful  jockeys  to-day  were  H.  Smith, Irving,  Carr, 
Taylor  and  Bozeman.  ,

THIRTY-SEVENTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  FEBRUARY  24. 

Slaughter  wae  no  name  for  the  deal  the  talent  got  this 
truly  beautiful  afternoon.  Long  shots  piled  upon  long  shots. 
In  short,  four  of  the  five  events  were  won  by  outsiders,  the 
shortest  odds  quoted  against  any  of  them  being  S  to  1.  A 
dollar  parlayed  through  at  the  highest  odds  obtainable 
would  have  put  the  very  fortunate  player  $76,790  winner  in 
round  figures.  But  then  we  know  of  no  one  that  was  quite 
so  lucky,  though  one  lady  did  pick  Ravine,  Francesca,  Kitty 
Scott  and  Lonnie  B.  for  her  husband  to  play,  not  believing 
much  in  steeplechases.  The  track  was  fast  drying  up,  and 
there  was  quit*;  an  improvement  in  the  quality  of  the  horses 
engaged.  At  least  4,000  persons  saw  the  five  races  run  off, 
showing  that  with  the  return  of  good  weather  interest  is  rac- 
ing is  revived. 

Ravine,  a  20  to  1  shot  at  one  time,  12  to  1  at  the  post,  led 
almost  from  tbe  first  stride,  and  gradually  making  the  day- 
light space  longer,  won  with  surprising  ease  by  three  lengths 
from  Artist.  Romulus,  the  hot  favorite,  finished  third, 
Semele,  also  heavily  played,  was  seventh  and  last  at  the 
wind-up.  Ravine  was  splendidly  ridden  by  little  Chevalier 
whogot  the  dry  path  with  the  outsider. 

Francesca,  plaved  from  15  down  to  S  to  1,  won  the  second 
race  as  easily  as  Ravine  did  the  first,  though  had  her  brother 
Royal  Flush,  got  away  in  good  shape  we  might  have  seen  a 
different  result.  Comrade  led  nearly  to  the  half,  then  grad- 
ually fell  back  until  at  the  close  he  was  last.  Tyro,  the  fa- 
vorite, was  a  poor  third. 

Kilty  Scott  won  the  Baldwin  Hotel  Stakes,  half  a  mile, 
for  two-year-olds,  in  a  great  big  gallop  in  the  fast  time,  track 
considered,  of  0:50}.  She  got  away  second,  outran  Venus  a*, 
once,  secured  the  winning  path,  and  that  settled  it.  Digsrs 
showed  a  wonderful  burst  cf  speed  coming  around  the  final 
turn,  but  having  to  run  in  the  hpavv  going,  could  never  get 
up  to  Corrigan's  little  queen.  Mollie  R.  got  the  show  in  a 
drive,  while  Zephyr,  ridden  by  Irving,  ran  a  most  disap- 
pointing race. 

There  were  no  accidents  in  the  steeplechase  to-day.  Wild 
OaiR,  cleverly  ridden  by  "  Mnchacha  "  Galindo,  he  of  the 
Galways,  got  thr  money,  though  the  finish  was  an  exciting 
one  between  Wild  Oats,  Red  Cloud  and  /-.impost,  who  fin- 
ished as  named,  not  over  a  length  separating  first  and  third. 
Mike  Hennery  made  his  debut  as  a  steeplechase  jockey  in 
this  race  on  Zampost.  Brown.  Lon swell's  rider,  was  fined 
$500  for  striking  Rpecial'sj  tfkey,  Uf  Stanford,  jost  over  one 
of  his  eves  with  his  whip.  One  of  the  chief  officials  of  the 
course  was  secreted  in  the  brush  that  lined  the  steeplechase 
course,  saw  the  deed  and  at  once  reported  Brown. 

Lonnie  B.  captured  the  last  race  in  the  last  stride  by  less 
than  three  inches,  Tigress  looking  all  over  a  winner  up  to 
fifty  yards  of  the  wire.     Taylor  did  the  look-around  act  once

every  one,  his  odds  ranging  from  10  to  20  to  1,  closing  at  12 
to  1.  He  was  absolutely  the  longest  shot  in  the  race.  Gladi- 
ola delayed  the  start  for  rome  time  by  refusing  to  come  up 
with  her  horses,  and  Flurry  was  not  very  angelic  either.  The 
order  at  the  send-ofl"  was  Artist,  Romulus,  Ravine,  Gladiola. 
Ravine  soon  assumed  command,  leading  Flurry  a  length  at 
the  half,  Semele  a  close-up  third.  Three  furlongs  from  home 
Ravine  was  leading  by  two  lengths  and  Artist  had  run  up 
from  fourth  to  second  place,  a  length  in  front  of  Romuius, 
who  was  third.  Ravine  was  ilrst  two  lengths  as  they  swung 
into  the  straight,  and  Artist  was  as  far  from  Romulus.  Get- 
ting the  narrow  dry  strip  in  the  clayey  homestretch,  Ravine 
easily  held  his  advantage  to  the  end,  winning  by  thres 
lengths  from  Artist,  who  beat  Romulus  five  lengths  for  the 
place.    Semele  finished  last.    Time,  1:15*.

Royal  Flush  was  lapped.  Francesca  soon  opened  up  a  gap  of

loDgs  from  the  finish.  Comrade  was  third  and  dropping  back, 
the  favorile  last  of  all.  This  was  the  order  clear  into  the 
homestretch.  Francesca  got  the  dry  strip,  and  won  easily  by 
two  lengths  from  her  brother,  Royal  Flush,  who  was  so  far

The  race  for  the  first  two-year-old  stake  of  the  year  in  this 
part  of  the  world — the  Baldwin  Hotel — came  next.  Kitty 
Scott  was  deservedly  a  favorite  at  odds  of  3  to  5.  Diggs, 
well  supported,  was  at  11  to  ">,  Venus  at  7  to  1,  Zephyr  at  10, 
Mollie  R.  50  and  Niagara  150  to  1.  To  a  lair  start  the  order 
was  Venus,  Kitty  Scott,  Zephyr.  Kitty  Scott  rushed  to  the 
front  in  the  firit  half-dozen  strides,  leading  three  furlongs 
from  home  by  two  lengths,  Venus  second,  as  far  from  Diggs, 
who  now  came  with  a  wonderful  burst  of  speed  and  looked 
exceedingly  dangerous  as  they  swung  around  into  the  straight 
track.  Kitty  Scott,  two  lengths  in  front,  got  the  path,  and 
there  was  thereafter  no  hope  for  the  others.  Though  the 
good-looking  Diggs  made  a  gallant  run,  he  could  not,  under 
the  circumstances,  reach  the  living  little  daughter  of  Isaac 
Murphv,  who  won  easily  by  two  lengths,  Diggs  being  second, 
three  from  Mollie  R.,  who  just  beat  Venus  out  of  show 
Zephyr  died  away  to  not  even  a  zephyr  at  the  close, 
though  she  did  Hhow  considerable  speed  half-way  down  the 
Straight  The  time  was  0:50},  which  marks  a  splendid  per-

was  the  order  to  a  good  start.  Conde  and  Tigress  ran  head- 
and-head  in  front  past  the  half-pole,  Lonnie  B  a  length  be- 
hind the  pair.  Tigress  soon  outran  Conde,  and  gaining  at 
every  stride,  swung  into  the  homestretch  four  lengths  in 
front  of  Lonnie  B.,  who  was  three  from  Blizzard.  Joe  Mur- 
phy came  fast  around  the  final  turn,  but  stumbled  in  the 
straight.  Tigress  looked  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last 
seventy-five  yards,  where  Carr  was  sending  Lonnie  B.  along 
at  an  alarming  rate.  Tigress  swerved  some  and  Taylor  was 
a  trifle  over-confident,  and  in  the  last  couple  of  strides  Lon- 
nie B.  got  up  and  won  by  about  three  inches,  with  Joe  Mur- 
phy knocking  at  the  door.  Time,  1:143 — a  cracking  good  run 
over  such  a  slow  course. 

THIRTY-EIGHTH  DAY —TUESDAY,   FEBRUARY  27TH. 

Will  the  talent  ever  get  another  inning  ?  was  the  question 
of  the  hour  among  our  local  race-goers  at  the  conclusion  of 
the  day's  sport.  Form-players  fell  very  hard  again  this  after- 
noon, especially  on  Norinaudie  Joe  Murphy  and  True  Briton. 
In  the  first  race,  too,  it  is  altogether  probable  that  Easter  John 
carried  far  more  mouey  than  did  the  winner,  Clara  White, 
whose  odds  remained  stationary  throughout.  The  track  was 
still  a  trifle  slow,  the  new  clay  in  the  homestretch  being  lumpy 
and  not  quite  dried  out.  The  sky  was  overcast  with  fleecy  and 
dark-looking  clouds,  too,  that  boded  well  for  the  mud-larks. 
Taylor,  Sloan,  Carr,  E.  Morris  and  C.  Weber  were  the  suc- 
cessful jockeys  to-day. 

Clara  White,  favorite  in  the  first  race,  ran  a  length  behind 
Gypsy  Girl  to  the  homestretch,  where  she  came  away  and 
won  easily  by  a  length  from  the  long  shot,  Regal,  who  was 
heavily  played  and  came  with  a  hot  rush  the  last  end  of  it, 
beating  another  long  shot,  Ironheart,  a  head.  Easter  John, 
the  "  good  thing,"  ran  third  for  little  over  a  quarter  of  a  mile, 
then  jack-knifed.  Gypsy  Girl  collapsed  soon  after  striking 
the  homestretch. 

Normaodie,  favorite  in  the  second  event,  ran  a  "dog"  race. 
Remus  and  Artist  alternated  in  the  lead  to  the  homestretch, 
where  Tris  came  through  and  won  easily  by  a  length  from 
the  driven-out  Artist,  Semele  being  a  fair  third.  The  winner 
was  at  7  to  1  for  quite  a  time. 

Lonnie  B.,  at  10  to  1,  took  the  third  race  into  camp,  the 
talentand  the  pencilers  evidently  believing  that  her  good  race 
of  last  Saturday  was  a  tluke.  She  waited  on  Romair  and  the 
hot  favorite,  Joe  Murphy,  until  the  homestretch  was  reached, 
when  Carr  gave  the  speedy  mare  her  head,  and  she  won 
cleverly  by  a  length.  Oakland,  coming  with  a  great  rush  at 
the  close,  just  nipped  the  place  from  Joe  Murphy. 

The  two-year-old  event  brought  seven  to  the  post,  and  there 
was  not  much  choice  between  Dow  Williams'  Venus,  the 
Mariner-Sunlit  filly,  Gasser  and  Gas  Strauss.  The  latter  lost 
all  his  chances  by  running  away  and  worrying  before  a  start 
was  effected.  The  Sunlit  filly  got  away  in  front  and  well 
under  way,  but  came  back  to  her  field  in  the  first  furlong, 
Gasser  assuming  command  to  the  homestretch.  Here  Venus, 
who  was  a  good  third,  was  cut  loose  by  Morris,  and  she  was  a 
handy  winner  by  a  length.  Gasser  ouit  badly,  and  a  75  to  1 
shot.  Sea  Spray,  came  up  and  got  the  place  by  a  head,  though 
the  Sunlit  filly  was  coming  again  very  fast  at  the  close. 

Red  Clark  captured  the  last  race  with  ease  after  Silver 
Plate  had  led  up  to  the  final  50  yards.  Imp.  True  Briton, 
the  favorite,  swerved  across  the  track  in  the  homestretch,  but 
finished  third,  behind  Rose  Clark  and  True  Briton.  Red 
Chief  got  away  badly,  and  finished  up  fourth.  The  odds 
against  this  colt  were  very  long,  in  view  of  his  recent  good 
performances.

at  /  to  I,  Prince  Henry  S,  Lonnie  JB.  10,  Oakland  and  Ro- 
mair 15  to  1  each.  To  a  fair  start  Joe  Murphy  led,  with  Prince

by  two  lengths,  Romair  second,  lapped  by  Lonnie  B.  Romair 
soon  sailed  to  the  front,  leading  Joe  Murghy  a  length  at  the 
half,  Murphy  second,  as  far  from  Oakland,  who  was  a  head 
in  front  of  Red  Root,  Lonnie  B.  at  his  head.  Romair  led  by

Venus  was  a  slight  favorite  over  the  Sunlit  filly  in  the  two- 
year-old  race,  at  3  to  1,  the  latter  being  at  31.  Gasser  and 
Gus  Strauss  were  at  4  to  1  each,  Dolly  L.  filly  15,  Sea  Breeze 
40  and  Sea  Spray  75  to  1.  Gus  Strauss  threw  Leigh  over

badly  throughout.  Fina-ly  the  Hag  fell  to  a  good  start,  the 
order  being  Sunlit  filly,  Venus,  Gasser,  Gus  Strauss.  Gasser

The  last  race  of  the  day,  six  furlongs,  for  maidens,  had 
imp.  True  Briton  for  a  torrid  favorite,  he  being  played  all 
around  the  ring  for  all  kinds  of  money.  Red  Chief,  who  on 
his  excellent  running  of  late  should  have  been  an  even-money 
favorite,  was  at  3A  to  1  at  the  close,  the  odds  about  him 
lengthening  perceptibly.  Rose  Clark  was  at  6  to  I,  Bobo- 
link?, Silver  Plate  S  to  1,  the  others  from  12  to  SO  to  1.  To 
a  fair  start  the  order  was  Silver  Plate,  Rose  Clark,  Joe 
Frank,  True  Briton.  Silver  Plate  sec  a  lively  pace,  and  at 
the  half  was  two  lengths  to  the  good,  Rose  Clark  second,  a 
length  from  True  Briton.  There  was  no  change  worth  men- 
tioning in  the  run  to  the  hnmestretch,  except  that  Red  Chief 
had  run  up  from  the  rear  to  fifth  place.  True  Briton  was 
apparently  running  easily  and  had  an  excellent  chance  to 
win  but  for  a  swerve  from  the  center  of  the  track  to  the  rails 
when  a  little  over  a  sixteenth  of  a  mile  from  home,  which 
cost  him  all  his  chances.  Rose  Clark  easily  disposed  of 
Silver  Plate  at  the  end  and  won  by  a  length,  Silver  Plate  sec- 
ond, four  lengths  from  True  Briton,  who  beat  Red  Chief  a 
little  over  a  length.     Time,  1:141 — a  rapid  run. 


The  Brooklyn  Handicap. 


New  York,  February  25. — The  racing  public  is  taking 
much  greater  interest  in  the  big  handicap  this  year  than  for 
many  seasons  past.  The  declaration  of  Messrs.  Keene's  great 
three-year-old,  Domino,  from  the  Brooklyn  handicap  was  no 
Barftrise  to  those  who  follow  the  sport  closely.  Domino  was 
engaged  in  more  than  $100,000  worth  of  stakes  with  young- 
sters of  his  own  age,  aud  it  is  only  natural  that  his  owners 
should  decline  starting  him  at  Gravesend  on  the  opening  day, 
as  big  fields  invariably  go  to  the  post  for  the  Brooklyn. 

The  year  1S94  should  see  some  of  the  best  sport  in  three- 
year-old  stakes  that  this  country  has  ever  seen.  In  the  year 
when  the  Emperor  of  Norfolk,  Sir  Dixon,  Raceland,  George 
Oyster  and  others  that  could  be  named  were  racing  interest 
in  the  taces  when  these  flyers  met  was  intense;  hut  next 
hen  Domino,  Dobbins,  Hornpipe,  Senator  Grady, 
Hyderabad,  Declare,  Peter  the  Great,  Arm  it  age,  Matt 
Byrnes,  Kentigerna  and  a  hos_t  of  others  come  together  for 
some  classic  evnt,  the  racing  public  will  turn  out  en  masse. 
The  race,  whether  stake  or  purse,  that  will  draw  out  a  throng 
will  be  the  first  meeting  of  Domino,  Dobbins  and  Senator 
G  rady. 

The  Brooklyn  handicap  is  regarded  as  a  battle  of  four-year- 
olds,  and  Ajax,  Clifford  and  Sir  Walter  are  prime  favorites 
with  the  racing  public  that  like  to  bet  on  futures.  Lamp- 
lighter's poor  showing  at  Chicago  with  Clifford  and  Yo  Tam- 
bien  has  lost  him  many  friends,  hut  if  Jimmy  McCormick 
sends  the  live-year-old  to  the  vost,  the  brown  horse  should 
ruu  a  great  race.  He  comes  to  hand  early,  and  there  is  no  I 
doubt  that  he  would  have  won  the  race  last  year  but  for  the 
size  of  the  field.  He  got  into  a  pocket  and  had  to  run  around 
his  horses  in  the  homestretch.  With  New  Yorkers  Ajax  is 
a  prime  favorile.

ing  Alf.  Stauford  over  the  eye  with  a  whip  during  the  pro- 
gress of  the  steeplechase  last  Saturday.

TROTTING     RULES     REVISED. 


Doings    at    the    Convention    of    the    National 

Association — Some  of  the  Important 

Changes  Decided  Upon. 


The  Murray  Hill  Hotel  yesterday  was  the  Mecca  and  Me- 
lina  of  light-harness  horsemen.  In  spite  of  snow  drifts, 
slocked  railroads,  stalled  trains  and  hard  times,  scores  of  men 
interested  in  the  typical  American  horse  gathered  at  the  call 
Df  President  Johnson  to  lend  their  aid  to  voice  or  vote  to 
the  deliberations  of  the  sixteenth  biennial  congress  of  the 
National  Trotting  Association. 

The  principal  business  awaiting  the  members  was  the  alter- 
ation and  amendment  of  most  of  the  existing  rules  on  trot- 
tin»,  or  the  creation  of  new  sections  of  each,so  that  I  be  racing 
code  of  the  National  Association  might  be  brought  into  closer 
and  almost  identical  phraseology  with  the  rules  obtaining  on 
racing  tracks  in  membership  wiih  the  American  Trotting 
Association. 

The  importance  or  this  congress  may  be  gathered  from  the 
fact  that  the  two  associations  control  between  them  over  1,300 
tracks,  on  which  during  the  past  two  or  three  seasons  purses 
aggregating  about  §11,000,000  have  been  paid  to  the  owuers 
of  winning  trotters  or  pacers.  A  trotting  or  pacing  contest 
is,  as  a  rule,  so  loog  drawn  out  and  susceptible  of  so  many 
varying  phases  that  the  rules  governing  such  contests  number 
about  sis,  many  of  them  composed  of  from  four  to  ten 
sections.  In  addition  to  this,  there  are  thirty-one  rules 
framed  to  govern  the  betting  onsuch  events. 

"With  perhaps  two  or  three  exceptions  the  eighty  delegates 
present  were  men  who  never  bet  on  their  own  or  any  other 
man's  horse;  they  are  in  the  business  purely  and  simply  for 
the  improvement  of  the  breed,  and  when  on  a  race  course 
their  first  and  only  question  about  a  heat  or  race  winner  is 
not,  What  were  the  odds  against  him  ?  but.  How  is  he  bred  ? 
Among  those  present  were  W  Conkling,  Glens  Falls,  N  Y.; 
G  W  Hovt,  Elmira,  X  Y;  F  Perkins,  Providence,  EI;  E  V 
Willis,  Boston,  Mass;  G  W  Archer,  Rochester,  NY;  C  J

X  J,  and  W  B  Fasig,  S  H  Mason,  Jr,  H  M  Whitehead,  W 
Johnson  and  ex-Judge  H  M  Whitehead,  Xew  York.  The 
principal  holders  of  proxies  were  C  D  Palmerof  Lowell,  with 
41;  W.  Edwards,  Cleveland,  with  27 ;  E  S  Edwards  of 
Newark,  with  IS,  and  W  B  Fasig,  with  14. 

The  first  business  was  the  appointment  of  the  following 
members  as  a  committee  on  nominations  for  officers  for  the 
ensuing  two  years:  C  H  Page,  Philadelphia;  C  D  Palmer, 
Lowell,  Mass;  U  C  Blake,  Cedar  Rapids,  Ohio;  W  C  France, 
Lexington  and  W  B  Fasig,  Xew  York  City.  This  committee 
submitted  the  following,  which  was  unanimously  agreed  on: 
President — Major  P  P  Johnston,  Lexington,  Ky.;  Vice  Presi- 
dent— David  Bonner,  New  York  City  and  F  L  Coombs, 
Xapa,  Cal.;  District  Boards,  to  act  as  local  courts,  and  from 
whom  the  members  of  the  Annual  Board  of  Review  are  se- 
lected— Eastern  District :  George  M  Stearns,  Chicopee,  Mass; 
M  G  Bulkelev,  Hartford,  Conn.,  and  C  Dana  Palmer,  Low- 
ell, Mass.;  Atlantic  District:  George  W  Archer,  Rochester, 
BF  Y :  J  C  Sibley,  Franklin,  Penn.,  and  Frank  Bower,  Phila- 
delphia, Pt-nn.;  Central  District,  G  M  Fogg,  Nashville,

sell Allen,  St.  Louis,  Mo.;  Western  District:  TJ  C  Blake, 
Cedar  Rapids,  Ohio;  J  L  Mitchell,  Milwaukee,  Wis.  and  F 
S  Gorton,  Chicago,  111.;  Pacific  District:  X  T  Smith,  San 
Francisco,  Cal;  Jesse  DCarr,  Salinas,  Cal.,  and  E  S  Roths- 
child, Portland,  Oregon.  This  is  the  old  board,  with  one  ex- 
ception— F  S  Gorton,  in  place  of  C  Schwartz  of  Chicago. 

The  presentation  of  the  report  of  the  Committee  on  Rules, 
which  had  been  in  session  all  through  Tuesday  and  yester- 
day morning  was  then  taken  up.  A  letter  was  read  from 
David  Bonner,  first  vice-president,  who  was  unable,  through 
sickness,  to  be  present,  in  which  he  deprecated  the  old-fash- 
ioned, long-drawn-out  heat  races,  and  advised  the  congress  to 
take  action  in  the  matter  of  substituting  the  best  two-in-t^ree 
races  for  the  usual  three  in-five,  and  also  bespeaking  favora- 
ble attention  of  shortening  the  distance  from  100  to  75  yards, 
and  in  fields  of  more  than  eight  horses  from  150  to  100  yards. 
The  joint  committee  of  the  Xational  and  American  Asso- 
ciations, which  met  in  March  last  at  the  Fifth  Avenue  Hotel, 
this  city,  and  in  April  at  the  Auditorium  Hotel,  Chicago, 
sent  up  a  lengthy  report  to  their  respective  associations, 
which  recommended  no  less  than  sixty-nine  alterations  of 
the  then-existing  rules,  or  sections  of  same.  The  American 
Trotting  Association,  at  its  biennial  congress,  held  at  Chicago, 
unanimously  adopted  every  one  of  these  recommendations, 
and  the  similar  adoption  by  the  National  Congress,  which  met 
yesterday,  brings  the  two  codes  of  these  organizations  into 
almost  identical  phraseology — the  one  principal  difference 
being  in  Section  1,  Rule  37,  governing  the  "distance."  The 
American  Association  accepted  the  alteration  shortening  the 
distance,  the  Xational  allows  the  old  rule  to  standi  bnt,  as 
this  has  always,  and  will  in  the  future,  permit  each  driving 
club  to  use  its  own  judgment,  the  divergence  is  more  appar- 
ent than  real. 

At  former  congresses  much  time  has  been  consumed  in  dis- 
cussing in  full  meeting  amendments  and  suggestions  of  mem- 
bers, but  a  scheme  of  having  a  Committee  on  Revision,  to 
meet  previously,  enabled  the  congress  to  get  through  its  busi- 
ness in  as  many  hours  as  it  has  taken  days  before.  The  more 
important  alterations  in  the  old  rules  are  that  the  fifty-dollar 
recording  fee  for  changing  a  horse's  name  for  registration  is 
abolished.  Section  2  of  Rule  20  received  this  addition:  "No 
rider  or  driver  shall  be  chansed  after  weighing  in  for  a  race, 
except  by  order  of  the  judges."  W.  B.  Fasig  argued  vigor- 
ously against  this,  contending  that  an  owner  should  retain 
the  authority,  if  he  saw  fit,  to  chaoge  drivers  dariog  a  race, 
but  the  feeling  of  the  members  was  largely  against  him,  and 
Mr.  Fasig  was  obliged  to  withdraw  his  amendment.  To  Sec- 
tion 1  of  Rule  24  this  was  added:  "  There  shall  be  three  com- 
petent timers  (in  the  stand)  appointed  by  the  President  or 
manager,  who  shall  take  the  time  of  each  heat." 


One  of  the  most  important  alterations  was  the  striking  out 
of  Section  12  of  Rule  29,  which  was  added  to  that  rule  by 
the  Fifteenth  Congress,  and  which  reads  : 

"  Only  one  heat  in  a  race  may  be  dropped  by  any  horse  in 
a  race,  and  only  then  by  permission  of  the  judges  first  ob- 
tained and  announced  from  the  stand  prior  to  the  heat,  and 
no  money  shall  be  won  or  lost  on  such  horse  in  that  heat.  A 
violation  of  this  rule  may  be  punished  by  fine,  suspension  or 
expulsion." 

This  was  one  of  the  worst  abuses  on  the  trotting  turf,  and 
gave  an  undue  advantage  to  a  fast  but  soft  horse,  as  against 
others  who  would  fight  through  every  heat.  It  was  added  to 
Rule  20  to  prevent  fraudulent  '•  laying  up  of  heats,"  but  in 
practice  the  remedy  was  worse  than  the  disease. 

The  joint  committee  had  recommended  the  reduction  of 
distance  to  75  yards  in  races  wherein  less  than  eight  horses 
were  driven,  but  the  congress  agreed  to  let  the  old  one  stand, 
which  reads:  "In  races  of  mile  heats  80  yards  shall  be  a 
distance.  In  races  of  two-mile  heats,  150  yards  shall  be  a  dis- 
tance. In  races  of  three-mile  heats,  220  yards  shall  be  a  dis- 
tance. In  races  of  mile  heats,  best  three  in  five,  100  yards 
shall  be  a  distance.  In  heats  of  not  over  one  mile,  wherein 
eight  or  more  horses  contend,  the  distance  shall  be  increased 
one-half;  but  in  any  heat  wherein  the  number  of  starters 
shall  be  reduced  to  less  than  eight,  the  ordinary  distance  shall 
be  restored." 

The  restrictions  governing  performances  against  time  were 
all  adopted,  and  in  future  the  securing  of  a  2:30  or  better 
mark  on  any  trotter  must  be  made  at  a  regular  meeting,  and 
under  precisely  the  same  supervision  from  the  judges'  stand 
as  obtained  in  regular  class  races  ;  and  such  mark  will  not 
rank  among  records  made  in  races  as  it  has  done  in  the  past. 
"Performances  against  time,"  called  in  the  old  Section  2  of 
Rule  58  "  matches  against  time,"  are  limited  to  three  trials 
only  on  any  one  day. 

The  congress  concluded  its  labors  with  a  unanimous  vote 
selecting  Xew  York  Citv  as  the  next  place  of  meeting,  in 
1S96.— X  Y.  Times.         *

GRAND    CIRCUIT    DATES. 


1  Eleven  "Weeks  of  Trotting  Arranged— $600,000 
in  Purses  to  be  Distributed. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.] 


The  Board  of  Stewards  of  the  Grand  Circuit  Trotting  Asso- 
ciation met  in  Parlor  H  of  the  Murray  Hill  Hotel  yesterday 
to  arrange  dates  for  the  coming  season.  The  members  pres- 
ent and  tracks  represented  were  D.  J.  Campau,  President  De- 
troit Driving  Club;  Col.  William  Edwards  and  C.  Giles, 
President  and  Secretary  Glendale  Driving  Park  Association, 
Cleveland,  Ohio  ;  C.  J.  Hamlin,  President,  and  E.  S.  Haw- 
ley,  Secretary  Buffalo  Driving  Club;  George  W.  Archer, 
President  Rochester  Driving  Association  ;  Lewis  J.  Powers, 
President  and  Treasurer  Hampden  Park  Driving  Assocsation, 
Springfield,  Mass.;  Burdette  Loomis,  Secretary  Charter  Oak 
Park  Association,  Hartford,  Conn.;  W.  B.  Fasig,  Vice  Presi- 
dent New  Park  Driving  Club  ;  John  Gibbons  and  Francis 
Farrell,  Point  Breeze,  Philadelphia,  and  Robert  Hough,  Sec- 
retary Pimlico  Driving  Association,  Baltimore,  Md. 

Col.  Edwards  and  C.  W.  Archer  were  chosen  as  Chairman 
and  Secretary,  respectively. 

For  two  or  three  seasons  Homewood  Park,  Pittsburg,  has 
started  the  circuit,  but  just  at  present  the  "Smoky  City's" 
driving  club  is  without  a  home.  Their  club-house  and  stands 
were  burned  down  a  few  weeks  ago,  and  the  city,  which  had 
a  lien  on  the  grounds,  decided  to  cut  up  the  park  for  build- 
ing purposes.  Another  track  is  projected,  but  it  is  doubtful 
whether  or  not  Pittsburg  will  be  ready  on  the  date  assigned 
to  them.  East  Saginaw,  Mich.,  in  case  of  Pittsburg's  drop- 
ping out,  put  in  a  claim  for  the  first  week,  and  it  is  just  at 
this  point  that  the  Grand  Circuit  of  1S94  is  likely  to  make 
its  start. 

As  the  dates  were  at  first  decided  on,  to  begin  with  Mon- 
day, July  16tb,  Point  Breeze  would  have  gotten  the  week  of 
September  ISth  to  21st,  and,  as  this  was  the  week  chosen  for 
the  Washington  Park  (Chicago)  meeting,  President  Gibbons 
said  they  would  drop  out.  Pimlico  also,  a  new  member, 
thought  the  following  week,  September  25th  to  2Stb,  would 
be  too  late  for  them.  After  considerable  discussion  the  dates 
were  moved  forward  a  week,  and  this  makes  Fleetwood  antag- 
onistic to  Chicago,  but  as  they  are  stronger,  it  will  not  make 
so  much  difference. 

It  was  a  surprise  to  many  when  Secretary  Loomfc,  oi  Hart- 
ford, announced  that  Charter  Oak  (could  give  a  meeting 
without  betting,  but  as  their  fifteen-thousand-dollar  Xutmeg 
purse    for    three-year-olds  and    their    Connecticut  purse  of 


Los  Gatos,  Feb.  23,  1894. — The  largest  crowd  that  has 
ever  assembled  on  the  grounds  of  the  Los  Gatos  Driving  As- 
sociation, thoroughly  enjoyed  the  programme  gone  through 
yesterday.  Nearly  five  hundred  people  paid  admission,  and 
it  is  estimated  fully  six  hundred  were  in  attendance. 

A  beautiful  day  and  a  good  track  can  nearly  always  be  ,  $20,000  for  four-year-olds  are  due  for  decision  this  year,  they 
counted  upon  in  the  Gem  Citv,  and  together  with  a  good  pro-    think  it  is  worth  trying. 

.,  e  .-        '    ...  j  The  dates  wtre  finally  arranged  as  follows  :

The  first  event  on  the  card  was  made  up  for  the  local  sad-  I  new  track,  July  16th  to  21st;  Cleveland,  July  23rd  to  27th;

Rock  won  all  the  money,  but  most  of  the  betting  done  was

son that  they  recently  ran  a  very  close  race,  Jack  just  get- 
ting the  decision.

Point  Breeze,  September  11th  to  14th  and  Pimlico,  Baltimore,

This  programme,  if  carried  out,  will  make  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit stronger  than  ever,  and  will  provide  eleven   weeks  of 


At  the  fourth  attempt  they  were  sent  away  with  a  very  good  [  racing  and  distribute  over  $600,000  among  the  owners  of  the 
start,  Happy  Jack  taking  up  the  running  and  leading  around  [  winners. — New  York  Times, 
the  turn  and  into  the  backstretch.      At  the  quarter-pole  they 


were  all  together,  with  Red  Rock  going  a  bit  the  fastest,  and 
in  making  the  turn  Red  Rock  assumed  command  and  led  into 
the  stretch,  Nellie  second,  Happy  Jack  last.  The  latter  two 
had  a  driving  finish  home,  Happy  Jack  just  beating  Nellie  a 
short  head  for  the  place,  Red  Kock  finishing  an  open  length 
in  front  of  the  pair. 

In  the  pacing  race  Wait-a-little  did  not  turn  up  and  Monte 
walked  over  for  the  nurse,  doing  the  mile  nicely  in  2:40. 

Old  Mack  surprised  every  one  by  winning  the  next  event 


Prospects  For  Racing  in  1894. 


Judging  from  the  three  top  sales  of  the  week  so  far  re 
corded,  it  is  evident  that  racehorse  records  count  for  more  to 
day  than  they  ever  did  before  in  the  history  of  the  trotting 
creed.  From  the  competition  which  fast  performers  evoke  it 
may  be  seen,  as  Doble  remarked  the  other  day,  that  there  will 
be  plenty  of  racing  this  year.  The  four  year-old  colt  Jay 
in  good  style  after  Mystery  had  won  the  first  heat.  The  ova-  i  Hawker,  who  took  a  record  of  2:14J  in  1893,  brought  eigh 
lion  he  received  after  the  deciding  heat  will  be  glory  enough  |  thousand  dollars  at  the  Lesiogton  mart?  whileZembia,  2:15A 


for  Mr.  Todd  for  some  time. 

Mr.  Bunch  rather  disappointed  us  in  the  next  with  Betsy 
R.,  of  whom  we  expected  a  better  exhibition  ;  she  couldn't 
pace  a  little  bit,  and  was  last  in  both  heats. 

Alma  Wonder  has  improved  a  great  deal,  and  won  both 
her  heats  easily. 

The  last  event  was  a  quarter-mile  and  repeat,  and  brought 
out  three  horses,  Red  Rock  again  getting  all  the  money  after 
losing  the  first  heat  to  Mamie  D.  The  latter  should  have 
won  the  second  heat,  but  ran  very  wide  on  the  turn  and 
couldn't  make  up  the  lost  ground.  Red  Rock  stood  the 
repeating  better  than  the  mare,  and  won  the  third  heat 
easily. 

Everything  went  off  without  a  disagreeable  feature,  although 
a  great  deal  of  complaint  was  made  about  the  long  waits 
between  heats.  This  it  is  possible  to  remedy,  nevertheless 
the  club  deserves  praise,  as  they  are  all  amateurs,  and  it 
should  not  be  expected  that  tbey  could  get  off  five  events 
without  some  delay.  They  are,  however,  rapidly  improving, 
and  by  the  next  race  day  (May  1st}  will  be  in  position  to  get 
through  the  programme  without  a  hitch.

Philip  J.  Dwyer  is  a  visitor  at  the  Xew  Orleans  meeting. 
He  expressed  himself  as  being  greatly  pleased  with  the  sport. 
He  said  the  National  Jockey  Club  was  sure  to  be  organized, 
and  intimated  that  all  the  Eastern  clubs  would  join  it. 


and  Miss  Alice,  2:131,  were  bid  off  at  five  thousand  and  four 
thousand  dollars  respectively.  Buyers  want  young  horses 
that  have  demonstrated  their  possession  of  speed  in  races,  and 
that  can  go  out  and  beat  their  records.  The  truth  of  this 
proposition  was  amply  proven  in  the  case  of  Zembia  and  Miss 
Alice.  The  latter  is  very  much  the  better  bred  mare,  the 
faster  of  the  two  j  but  she  is  three  years  the  older  and  conse- 
quently has  a  shorter  time  of  track  usefulness  before  her 
Princeton,  a  successful  sire  and  a  fast  horse  in  his  day,  would 
have  brought  many  times  the  price  he  was  sold  for  at  the 
Chicago  sale  had  he  been  three  or  four  years  old  and  able  to 
go  out  and  beat  his  mark  several  seconds.  The  tendency 
amongst  all  classes  of  owners  is  to  race  their  hors-s.  for 
which  reason  the  ability  to  win  is  the  underlving  mot;ve 
power  now  regulatiog  tbe  buyer's  action.  The  day  has 
passed  for  pensioners  on  their  sires'  and  dams'  reputations  to 
bring  large  prices  ;  colts  must  win  their  way  (o  public  appro- 
bation through  their  performances  on  the  track.  In  view  of 
theie  facts  this  paper  more  strongly  than  ever  urges  breeders 
to  begin  early  thedevelopment  of  their  studs'  annual  pro- 
ducts. The  public  will  not  buy  speed  that  may  be  or  speed 
that  has  beeo  :  it  wants  that  which  it  can  see,  and  the  only 
way  to  prove  speed  is  to  show  it.  The  only  way  to  show  it  in 
its  proper  light  is  to  develop  it.  Moreover,  the  time  is  with 
us  now  when  buyers  will  not  wait  several  years  for  colts  to 
grow  into  winners.  Thev  want  them  ready-made  racehorses 
ahle  to  go  out  when  the  bell  taps,  be  they  yearlings  or  three- 
year-olds,  two-year-olds  or  four-year-old-;,  and  win  their  oats 
and  something  else  besides.  It  is  by  no  means  necessary  to 
the  development  of  speed  to  race  the  colts  ;  though  as  a  role 
it  will  be  found  profitable  to  do  si.  Americus  showed  a  fast 
mile  in  his  two-year-old  form, and  immediately  thereafter  was 
purchased  for  a  large  sum.  Any  colt  that  can  go  and  do 
likewise  will  meet  with  a  ready  sale,  even  if  he  never  faced 
a  starter. — Horseman.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


Advertiser,  Dexter  Prince,  Whips  and  Azmoor  are  the 
four  leading  sires  at  Palo  Alts. 

Lee  Shaker  is  working  a  fine  string  of  trotters  and  pacers 
at  the  Agricultural  Park,  Sacramento. 

Great  preparations  are  being  made  at   Hueneme   tor  the 
races  to  be  held  on  May  Day  at  the  track  at  that  place. 

The  race  track  managers  are  busy  preparing  their  tracks 
for  the  horses  that  are  lo  be  trained  for  the  races  this   fall. 


There  is  a  green  trotter  at  Sacramento  by  Soudan,  out  of 
Sigoa.  by  Sidney,  that  will  surprise  the  boys  this  fall.  He  is 
a  good  one.  

DeWayne,  2:30,  by  Director,  owned  by  Sam  N.  Warren, 
Clover  Wood  Farm,  Spring  Hill,  Tenn  ,  is  in  Gill  Curry's 
stable,  and  will  be  trained  for  a  low  mark  this  season. 


Bill  Lindsay  and  Valissa,  in  the  Bascom  stable  at  the 
fair  grounds,  are  looking  as  fine  as  split  silk.  Valissa,  after 
a  rest  of  two  years,  w,ill  no  doubt  be  among  the  best  of  them 
this  year.  

Dan  Lawrence,  the  traioer  who  piloted  the  erratic  pacer 
Cyrus  to  victory  and  gave  him  his  low  record  last  year,  will 
have  a  string  of  very  good  trotters  and  pacers  on  the  circuit 
this  season.  

Thos.  Snider,  the  well-knowD  driver,  is  getting  his  string 
of  trotters  and  pacers  in  shape  to  start  in  preparing  them  for 
the  races  this  year.  He  will  have  Dubec,  2:17,  ready  when 
the  bell  ri  ngs.  

Andy  McDowell  is  handling  a  wonderfully  fast  pacer  at 
Pleasanton,  and  although  she  is  not  quite  a  Yolo  Maid,  she 
will  be  fast  enough  to  make  Audy  and  his  friends  rejoice  be- 
fore the  races  in  this  State  end  this  fall. 

The  handsome  Nutwood  stallion,  Cyrus  R.,  2:175,  will  be 
sent  by  his  owner,  T.  W.  Barstow  of  San  Jose,  to  Chicago,  to 
be  sold  at  the  auction  sale  to  be  held  by  F.J.  Berry,  the 
famous  auctioneer,  on  the  26th  of  March. 


John  Shepard,  the  wealthy  Bostonian,  in  speaking  of  the 
report  that  Actress,  2:26$,  by  Knickerbocker,  beat  Arab,  2:15, 
in  a  brush  recently,  says  the  report  is  wrong,  and  that  no 
horse  in  Boston  can  beat  Arab  in  a  brush  down  the  road. 


It  will  be  a  sore  disappointment  to  Orrin  A.  Hickok  in  not 
having  his  favorite,  Hulda,  2:08A,  to  take  East  this  year.  She 
might  break  down  in  the  most  critical  portion  of  a  race  and 
be  forever  after  ruined.  A  two  years'  rest  may  do  her  a  "world 
of  good "  and  then  she  can  be  worked  for  a  lower  record 
still.  

The  instance  of  closest  inbreeding  to  be  found  in  the  2:30 
list,  is  that  of  Harry  McGregor,  2:2$.  Martin  McGregor  was 
got  by  Robert  McGregor,  out  of  the  Martin  mare,  pedigree 
not  traced.  In  turn,  Martin  McGregor  was  bred  to  his  own 
dam,  the  Martin  mare,  and  Harry  McGregor,  2:28,  was  the 
result.  

George  Starr  has  brought  to  Terre  Haute  from  Ken- 
tucky his  yearling  filly  by  Wilton,  dam  by  Jersey  Wilkes  ; 
a  three-year-old  pacer  that  he  bought  down  in  Tennessee  last 
fall  because  he  looked  like  Little  Albert,  and  the  ten-year- 
old  mare  TUlie  Lee,  that  he  purchased  at  Tattersalls'  sale 
last  week. 

Jacob  Justice,  of  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  is  arranging  for  a 
series  of  road  horse  races,  to  be  trotted  in  early  spring  over 
the  Belmont  course.  Mr.  Justice  is  selecting  a  number  of 
useful  articles  to  be  put  up  for  prizes,  among  which  are  sev- 
eral fine  sets  of  harness,  blankets,  whips,  etc.  The  races  will 
be  strictly  for  non-professionals. 

From  all  the  leading  stock  farms  reports  are  heard  that 
the  epidemic  of  distemper  that  has  been  so  prevalent  this 
year,  has  entirely  disappeared.  The  mares,  colts  and  fillies 
are  now  looking  well,  and  as  the  pastures  never  looked  finer, 
the  hopes  of  the  farmers  and  breeders  have  taken  a  decided 
upward  tendency  since  the  rains  ceased. 

Owing  to  the  death  of  Chas.  Durfee's  wife  at  Los  Angeles, 
all  of  the  plans  for  1894,  set  by  this  well-known  horseman, 
have  been  changed,  and  instead  of  sending  Mc Kinney  and 
Gossiper  to  Pleasanton,  he  will  keep  them  at  Los  Angeles. 
This  will  be  a  disappointment  to  a  number  of  breeders  who 
signified  their  intention  of  breeding  their  mares  to  these 
horses  if  they  were  to  stand  at  thac  place. 

LEXINGTON,  Ky.,  has  secured  another  great  stallion,  Sim- 
mons, 2:28,  who  will  be  moved  from  Abdallah  Park,  the  farm 
founded  by  W.  H.  Wilson  at  Cynthiana.  H.  K.  McAdams, 
for  so  many  years  associated  with  his  father-in-law,  has  leased 
a  part  of  Orchard  Park  near  the  fair  grounds  at  Lexington, 
and  on  March  1st  will  remove  all  the  horses  belonging  to  the 
W.  II.  Wilson  estate  from  Abdallah  Park. 


Bob  Murray  is  busy  handling  a  number  of  colts  and  fillies 
at  Dublin,  Alameda  county,  "the  Home  of  Directum."  Bob 
has  charge  of  Directum,  the  king,  and  will  take  him  Fast  in 
June,  so  that  Jno.  Kelly  ean  have  the  pleasure  of  preparing 
him  for  his  races.  Murray  in  a  first-class  horseman,  and  is 
anxious  to  see  how  fast  Electrical  and  Klectrina  will  go.  He 
says  he  knows  what  Directum  is  capable  of  doing. 


"  The  year  to  plant  wheat  is  the  one  when  the  other  fel- 
lows are  raising  corn  and  other  farm  products.  The  HUpply 
will  he  short  and  the  price  will  go  up.  The  same  is  true  of 
the  horse  business.  During  the  past  two  years  a  less  number 
of  broodmares  were  bred  by  35  per  cent,  than  in  former 
years.  Because  the  other  fellow  does  not  breed  hia  good  brood- 
mare is  no  reason  you  should  do  likewise.  The  supply  is  sure 
to  be  short,  and  the  price  JQBt  as  sure  to  advance." 

White  horses  are  to  be  barred  from  military  service  in 
Germany,  The  Emperor  lias  ordered  that  no  more  be  pur- 
chased for  (he  army,  and  those  now  in  use  are  to  he  sold.  He 
thinks  thai  n  war  white  horses  would  be  especially  CODBpio- 
uous  becai<  ■>■  of  the  use  of  smokeless  powder,  and  would  afford 
an  easy  mark  for  the  enemy.  This  decision  aS  to  while  horses 
was  made  also  by  the  Frencli  immediately  after  the  Franco- 
Prussian  war,  as  a  result  of  their  experience  therein. 


H.  W.  Crabb  had  such  great  anticipations  of  Eyraud,  the 
colt  sold  to  Mr.  Floyd  at  the  sale  a  week  ago  last  Wednesday, 
that  he  paid  $150  in  advance  to  the  latter  so  that  he  could 
get  him  back,  and  as  the  bidders  did  not  pay  for  Cora  C.  or 
Like  Like,  according  to  these  two  advertised  conditions  of  the 
sale,  he  determined  to  keep  them  and  dispose  of  them  at 
private  sale.  Eyraud  is  heavily  entered  in  the  California 
circuit,  and  with  Jas.  Berryman  up  behind  him,  will  pull 
down  many  of  the  richest  purses. 

T.  W.  Moore  shipped  all  of  his  thoroughbreds  and  trot- 
ters (some  twenty-five  head)  to  Hope  Glen  Stock  Farm,  Santa 
Barbara,  in  care  of  J.  Dinue  last  Wednesday  week.  They 
arrived  safe  and  sound  at  their  destination,  and  when  Wm. 
Dunbar,  the  superintendent,  gets  them  in  readiness  for  the 
races  they  will  be  able  to  show  that  they  are  in  every  way 
worthy  of  their  breeding  and  care.  No  better-bred  or  finer- 
looking  stock  was  ever  sent  from  this  city  to  the  southern 
part  of  California  than  this  lot. 


M.  E.  McHenry,  of  Freeport,  111.,  writes  that  he  has  just 
made  an  arrangement  with  Colonel  R.  S.  Stoner,  whereby 
the  entire  product  of  the  Oakland  Farm  will  be  turned  over 
to  him  at  weaning-time  for  the  next  three  years.  The  stock  is  to 
be  owned  jointly  by  the  Freeport  trainer  and  their  breeder  and 
controlled  by  the  former  from  the  time  it  is  turned  over  until 
sold.  This  will  vest  in  trainer  McHenry  the  virtual  possessiop 
of  the  large  majority  of  Baron  Wilkes' get,  and  it  is  only 
reasonable  to  expect  the  development  of  a  good  proportion 
of  race-winners  from  among  them. 


It  seems  that  the  celebrated  Russian  stallion  Krakus  is  not 
in  his  own  country  looked  upon  as  a  really  first-class  subject, 
according  to  his  performances  there.  He  beat  Wjun's  record 
of  2:22s,  trotting  the  distance,  about  ten  yards  short  of  a  mile, 
in  2:20.  He  also  beat  Wjun's  record  of  4:54$  by  one  second, 
and  for  these  performances  he  received  the  premium  of  5,000 
rubles.  He  trotted  altogether  sixteen  races  in  Russia,  win- 
ning four  first  moneys,  one  second  money,  one  third  money 
and  two  premiums,  the  whole  amounting  to  13,760  rubles. 
When  Krakus,  therefore,  trotted  in  this  country  a  quarter  in 
32  seconds,  at  the  rate  of  a  mile  in  2:08,  he  showed  considera- 
bly more  speed  than  he  had  ever  exhibited  in  Russia. 


A  veterinarian  of  experience  gives  the  following  as  an 
excellent  remedy  for  colic  in  horses  :  Three  parts  colocynth 
1-100,  one  part  morphia  1-10,  for  remedy  No.  1,  arsenicum 
1-100,  for  remedy  No.  2.  Give  seven  drops  of  No.  1  on  a 
lump  of  sugar  or  with  a  half  teaspoonful  of  water  and  inject 
with  a  clean  syringe  alternate  with  seven  drops  of  No.  2  each 
15  minutes,  and  by  the  time  the  fourth  dose,  two  of  each 
number,  has  been  given,  the  patient  will  be  found  to  be  much 
relieved,  if  not  entirely  well;  then  give  1  and  2  in  alteration 
every  hour,  and  then  every  two  hours,  until  nature  can  take 
care  of  the  case  herself,  and  that  will  be  in  short  order.  Get 
the  remedies  at  the  homeopathic  pharmacy.  This  remedy  is 
good  for  man  or  beast  (adult),  two  drops  in  half  teaspoonful 
of  water  will  be  found  to  be  about  the  thing. 

Monroe  Salisbury  visited  Yuba  City  last  Wednesday  to 
see  what  kind  of  a  colt  the  five-year  old  Don  Lowell  was.  It 
did  not  take  him  long  to  ascertain,  for  in  a  few  hours  he  had 
seen  the  youngster  trot  and  then  purchased  him  for  $4,000. 
Don  Lowell  is  a  splendidly-formed  bay  colt  sired  by  the  game 
Don  Marvin,  2:22A,  out  of  a  mare  by  Brigadier,  2:21}.  He 
got  his  record  of  2:20}  in  his  first  season  on  the  turf,  driven 
by  a  son  of  Seul  Harris,  the  breeder  and  owner  of  ^this  colt. 
That  he  will  get  a  very  low  mark  this  year  everyone  who  has 
seen  him  trot  believes.  The  price  paid  is  very  reasonable, 
for  the  first  time  the  colt  was  driven  last  year  T.  J.  Crowley, 
of  this  city,  offered  his  owner  $3,000  cash  for  him,  and  the 
colt  had  no  record  then.  Mr.  Salisbury  is  to  be  congratulated 
in  securing  such  a  bargain. 

A  note  from  Morris  J.  Jones,  of  the  Standard  Trotting- 
Horse  Company,  explains  that  Alix,  2:07^,  is  wintering 
nicely  and  is  better  in  health  than  she  ever  was  before.  Alix 
was  foaled  in  18S8  and  is  consequently  now  six  years  old.  She 
has  improved  consistently  every  season,  and  it  is  only  natural 
to  suppose  she  will  be  better  this  year  than  ever.  Owner 
Jones  is  confident  of  her  ability  to  lower  her  mark  a  good 
many  notches,  and  mere  unlikely  things  have  happened  than 
Alix  dropping  the  trotting  race-record  down  to  2:04.  Should 
she  do  so  there  will  be  a  pandemoniacal  demonstration  in- 
dulged in  by  the  spectators  such  as  never  was  seen  before,  for 
Alix  is  dear  to  the  public  heart.  Redwald,  2:23£,  and  Pac- 
tolus,  2:123,  will  make  full  seasons  in  the  stud  at  Red  Oak, 
Iowa,  at  fees  away  down,  when  individuality,  pedigree  and 
speed  capacity  are  considered. 

The  Breeder  and  Turfman,  the  turf  publication  started 
some  year  and  a  half  ago,  has  suspended  operation.  Al- 
though it  was  claimed  for  the  publication  a  subscription  list 
up  in  the  thirty  thousands  ('/),  the  paper  passed  out  of  exis- 
tence without  making  apparently  much  of  a  fight  for  life.  In 
the  beginning  the  paper  had  a  prospect  that  was  very  flatter- 
ing, and  the  breeders  of  this  section  rallied  to  its  support, 
and  it  launched  out  on  the  sea  of  literature  with  full  sails. 
Just  why  the  paper  was  not  continued  no  oneseeme  to  know. 
Surely  the  field  for  such  a  journal  in  the  South  was  a  very 
broad  one,  and  it  is  to  be  regretted  that  it  was  not  continued 
on  the  high  plane  as  was  marked  out  for  it  from  its  first  in- 
ception. The  star  of  its  destiny  has  been  on  the  wane  for 
some  time  past,  but  where  it  finally  set  no  one  seems  to  know 
positively,  hut  one  thing  surely,  it  has  failed  to  make  its  ap- 
pearance for  several  weeks. — Kentucky  Stock  Farm. 

It  is  stated  on  good  authority  that  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels, 
owner  of  Dexter  Prince  and  Hulda,  2:08.1,  intends  to  breed 
them  this  year,  therefore  Hulda  will  not  be  sent  East.  Mr. 
Spreckels  has  seen  enough  ofthe  good  qualities  of  Dexter 
Prince  as  a  sire  to  convince  him  that  no  mare  in  the  United 
States  is  too  good  for  this  horse.  From  all  parts  of  Califor- 
nia, owners  of  colts  and  fillies  by  Dexter  Prince,  out  of  mares 
of  the  commonest  breeding  are  loud  in  their  praises  ofthe 
yoDDgSters,  and  the  eagerness  with  which  all  our  trainers  are 
looking  for  Dexter  Princes  to  strengthen  their  strings,  proves 
conclusively  that  as  a  sire  this  well-bred  horse  will  lead  the 
best  in  the  United  States  before  five  years  elapse.  Mr. 
Spreckels  used  good  judgment  in  leasing  the  horse  this  year 
to  Palo  Alto,  for  this  is  the  first  opportunity  this  horse  has 
had  to  be  bred  to  marcs  of  good  breeding,  but  none  there  have 
earned  higher  honors  than  the  game  daughter  oftiuy  Wilkes, 
the  handsome  Hulda.  Her  foal  will  be  considered  invaluable 
by  her  fortunate  owner. 


At  the  recent  sale  of  the  Lang  Farm  horses  in  New  York 
A.  H.  Moore,  who  has  invested  more  money  in  famous 
broodmares  than  any  other  breeder  in  America,  bought  Kitty 
Patchen,the  dam  of  Patchen  Wilkes  and  Georgians,  2:26k 
ana  will  breed  her  to  Director.  Emcorette,  the  filly  that  G. 
H.  Koerner  bought  of  George  Urban  at  an  advance  of  $500.' 
will  be  bred  to  the  same  sire.  In  all  probability  J.  N.  Shults 
will  campaign  Nellie  Aldine,  2:21},  this  season.  Sara  Meade, 
by  Happy  Medium,  out  of  Metella,  was  bought  by  J.  B.  01- 
cott,  owner  of  Athol,  full  brother  to  Arion,  2:07J,  and  Guil- 
ford, by  Red  Wilkes  out  of  Buffalo  Girl,  2:21  *,  was  bought 
for  George  Lattimer  of  Buffalo.  Nearly  all  the  btallions: 
bought  at  this  sale  will  go  ioto  the  stud.  Mambrino  Wilkes/ 
sire  of  two  in  the  2:20  list,  will  go  to  East  Aurora,  and  Ulan,i 
the  son  of  Artillery  and  Kitty  Patchen,  will  stand  at  Bridge-t 
port,  Conn. 

_  While  the  year  1893  was  one  of  unusual  depression  in  all 
lines  of  business,  it  was,  nevertheless,  the  greatest  trotting 
and  pacing  year  the  world  has  ever  known.  It  is  estimated! 
that  the  grand  total  of  trotting  meetings  for  the  year  was  j 
1,705.  The  number  of  days  trotted  5,742,  and  the  value  of 
stakes  and  purses  given,  $4,125,375.  In  view  of  such  start- 1 
ling  figures  representing  the  enormous  earning  capacity  of; 
the  light-harness  horse  on  the  turf,  it  is  self-evident  that  thej 
depression  in  breeding  affairs  is  only  temporary.  Already 
there  is  a  break  in  the  horizon  that  is  the  forerunner  of  J| 
brighter  days.  At  the  recent  sales  good  horses  brought  re- 
munerative prices.  Buyers  are  scouring  the  country  for  the 
right  kind  of  horses,  and  whenever  one  is  found  he  brings  100 
cents  on  $1.  At  the  first  day  of  Tattersall's  Lexington  sale 
nineteen  undeveloped  colts,  the  get  of  Baron  Wilkes,  aver- 
aged $804. 

Mr.  D.  G.  Tenney,  of  New  York  City,  who  has  a  stockj 
farm  in  Methuen,  this  State,  shipped  some  twenty  head  ol 
trotting  stock,  mostly  broodmares,  colts  and  fillies,  to  P.  8, 
Talbert,  Lexington,  Ky.,  several  weeks  ago.  The  colts  and 
fillies  were  mostly  by  his  grandly-bred  young  stallion  Eldo- 
rado 10,700,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  Adella,  by  Elec- 
tioneer. Among  the  broodmares  were  Fawnette,  bv  Alcan- 
tara, 2:23,  dam  by  Abraham;  Galena,  by  Happy  Medium, 
dam  Patsey  F.,  dam  of  Citizen,  2:21,  and  Way  mark,  2:27:;,  bj 
Mambrino  Patchen ;  Nelsonia,  by  Nelson,  2:09,  dam  by  Bel-| 
mont  64,  second  dam  by  Mambrino  Chief;  Vesper  Bell,  bj 
Nutwood,  2:18$,  dam  by  George  Wilkes,  2:22;  Lady  Ross 
by  Sultan,  2:24,  dam  Atalanta  (full  sister  to  the  famous  brood' 
mare  Beautiful  Bells,  2:29i);  Lady  Patchen,  by  Mambrinc 
Patchen,  dam  by  Almont,  and  Genie,  by  Sultan,  2:24,  dan 
Lady  Graves  (dam  of  two  in  the  list),  by  Nutwood,  2:183 
second  dam  by  Whipple's  Hambletontan.  It  was  a  gram 
lot,  and  it  will  not  be  surprising  if  a  two-minute  trotter  maj 
be  found  among  them  or  their  progeny. 


Old  Morrill,  the  founder  of  the  Morrill  family,  wa 
dropped  in  a  pasture  in  a  rain-storm  at  Walden,  Vt.,  in 
and  he  was  sold  when  four  months  old  for  $25,  and  subse 
quently  became  the  property  of  French  Morrill  ol  Danville 
Vt.  He  was  by  the  Jennison  Horse,  a  bay  of  nearly  sixteei 
hands  (eon  of  Young  Belmont  Morgan),  out  of  a  gray  mar' 
of  fifteen  hands.  In  his  History  of  the  Morrills  and  Ham 
bletonian  Horses  of  Vermont,"  Allen  W.  Thompson  says 
"Mr.  Morrill'sfarm  contained  HOacres,  and  for  four  season 
he  did  the  team  work  on  it  with  his  horse.  So  great  was  hi 
strength  that  his  harness  and  cart  had  to  be  equally  as  strong 
The  harness  was  one  of  the  heaviest  of  truck  harness,  ant 
the  shafts  to  his  cart  were  made  of  small  trees,  the  smalles 
end  nearly  four  inches  through.  Mr.  Morrill's  land  wa 
moist,  so  that  the  wheels  with  a  common  rim  would  cuti 
badly ;  he  had  a  pair  made  with  the  rims  seven  and  a  hal 
inches  wide  and  two  and  a  half  inches  thick,  the  body  fo 
them  holding  thirty  bushels.  There  was  another  body  fo 
drawing  hay,  and  it  was  said  when  so  rigged  that  it  weighei 
1,000  pounds.  The  wood  lot  was  some  three  miles  from  th 
Green,  and  Mr.  Morrill  often  drew  from  it  with  his  horse 
his  place  a  cord  of  green  wood.  On  one  of  the  trips  he  mc 
two  yoke  of  oxen  hitched  to  a  sled  of  wood.  They  wer 
stuck,  and  the  men  with  them  wanted  Mr.  Morrill  to  hitc 
his  horse  on  forward  and  help  them  out.  He  told  them 
take  the  oxen  off  and  that  he  would  draw  it  out.  They  wer 
taken  off'  and  Old  Morrill  was  hitched  to  the  end  of  th 
tongue  and  he  drew  the  load  out."  The  feat  commended  01 
Morrill  to  the  farmers,  and  they  bred  to  him  in  the  hopes 
getting  stout  work  horses.  He  stood  over  sixteen  hands  an 
weighed  over  1,200  pounds.  He  learned  to  trot  himself  an 
founded  a  family  of  trotters.  He  died  in  1862  from  th 
effects  of  a  severe  beating,  a  clear  case  of  cruelty,  whic 
should  have  sent  his  owner  to  prison. — Turf,  Field  an 
Farm.  

Everywhere  breeders  of  trotting  horses  are  receivio 
letters  of  inquiry  in  good  numbers  which  points  to  the  fa> 
that  interest  in  harness  racing  prospers  and  that  better  prict 
will  be  realized  from  this  time  on.  One  of  the  most  prom 
nent  farm  owners  in  the  middle  west  lately  said  that  he  ha 
received  more  letters  from  prospective  buyers  during  the  fir 
two  months  of  the  year  than  ever  before  in  the  same  perio- 
It  is  true  that  from  his  stables  have  gone  many  winners  an 
successful  producers  of  winners,  but  it  is  not  alone  from  hi) 
that  the  good  news  comes.  When  we  look  at  the  conditio 
of  other  lines  of  business  we  see  the  great  mills  and  factori 
closed  down  or  running  on  one-half  time.  Even  those  whk 
are  the  most  successfully  and  conservatively  managed  ha* 
been  compelled  to  retrench  in  every  possible  way.  Thi 
wuich  had  been  directed  on  a  lavish  scale  of  expenditure  we; 
forced  to  the  wall  and  crushed.  The  same  principles  app 
to  the  breeding  interests,  but  with  this  difference,  that  the 
are  much  more  prosperous Jban  any  mercantile  enterprise 
the  country.  True,  those  which  were  managed  extravagant 
have  failed  and  for  the  most  part  have  been  sold  out,  b 
those  which  were  properly  directed  are  now  receiving  aod 
ways  have  received  paying  prices  for  their  stock.  The  tic 
has  come,  however,  when  the  public  will  not  buy  prospei 
of  any  kind.  What  has  been,  what  may  be,  or  what  unc 
certain  circumstances  ought  to  be,  is  no  longer  desirab 
Speed  under  the  watch,  or  proven  merit  as  producers,  go 
manners  or  good  looks,  or  all  combined,  alone  will  set.  T 
prospects  of  a  season  of  harness  racing  that  will  eclipse 
former  years  are  at  present  very  bright.  More  colts  are  I 
ing  trained  than  ever  before  in  the  history  of  the  trotti 
breed  and  more  meetings  will  be  held  than  ever  before 
marked  in  any  season.  A  survey  of  the  whole  situation 
from  our  point  of  view  gratifying  in  the  e 
treme.  It  is  very  pleasing  to  note  that  of  all  industries 
this  wide  land  the  breeding  of  horses  is  the  most  prosperc

THE  SADDLE. 


Barney  Schreieer  won  $4,000  when  Lonnie  B.  ran  first 
past  the  winning  post.    It  was  a  narrow  shave  though. 


The  grandly  bred  horse  Trentola  sold  at  the  Lopez  sale 
was  afterwards  purchased  by  Frank  Van  Ness  for  $3,000. 


Gladjola  is  in  great  form,  and  her  run  Wednesday  was  a 
remarkable  one.  She  equaled  the  track  record  at  the  short 
six  furlongs — 1:124.  

The  owner  of  Ravine  is  credited  with  having  $10  straight, 
$20  place  and  $40  to  show  on  the  gelding  last  Saturday,  this 
putting  him  $330  winner. 

It  is  said  that  Walter  Parmer,  of  Nashville,  is  slated  for  the 
secretaryship  of  the  organization  that  will  succeed  the  St. 
Louis  Fair  Grounds  Association. 


The  fine  bay  mare  Repose,  by  Apremont,out  of  Hammock 
by  Orest  was  sold  by  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez  to  A.  B.  Spreckles  for 
$2,000  at  the  private  sale  on  Monday. 

Chas.  Saunders,  of  New  York,  has  sustained  a  severe  loss 
in  the  death  of  the  four-year-old  chestnut  filly,  Uuezeray,  by 
Panique — Ilia.     Lung  trouble  is  said  to  have  been  the  cause. 

Abbie  F.,  E.  C.  Sachs'  young  mare  by  Judge  McKinstry, 
dam  Lottie  L.,  by  Wildidle,  foaled  a  fine  bay  filly  by  imp. 
Gyrus  on  the  10th  of  February  at  Fisher's  ranch,  Coyote,  Cal. 

From  present  appearances  there  is  little  likelihood  of  the 
250  members  being  secured  which  are  needed  to  reorganize 
the  Jerome  Park  Club,  and  that  project  is  likely  to  fall 
through.  

Ab  Stemler  is  very  sweet  on  the  Brutus  youngsters  he 
saw  at  the  San  Jose  track  in  the  Elmwood  Stock  Farm 
string  last  week,  in  fact,  hesays  he  neversaw  a  better  lot  of 
youngsters. 

A  large  number  of  new  stalls  are  going  up  on  the  east 
side  of  Fifth  Avenue,  north  of  those  erected  not  long  ago. 
There  will  in  all  likelihood  be  close  to  950  horses  at  the  local 
track  ere  many  days.         

That  there  is  considerable  in  the  Chronicle  story  regard- 
ing the  formation  of  a  new  racing  organization  in  this  State 
is  certain.  We  have  known  that  such  a  movement  was  under 
way  for  several  months.   

Fred  Taral  says  he  will  ride  Lamplighter  in  both  the 
Brooklyn  and  Suburban  handicaps.  It  is  presumed,  there- 
fore, that  J.  R-  &  F.  P.  Keene  will  not  want  him  to  ride  St. 
Leonards  in  the  Brooklyn^ 

We  would  recommend  to  inquisitive  jockeys  the  reading 
of  that  part  of  the  Bible  relating  to  Lot's  wife  or  the  late 
chronological  novel  issued  by  Goodwin  Bros.,  "Looking 
Backward  ;  or  How  It  Happened." 


Ireland  Bros,  have  traded  London  Smoke  and  Tucker 
for  the  two-year-old  fillies  Spanish  Lady  and  Princess  Mont- 
rose. W.  O.  Scully  has  sold  to  Riley  Grannan  the  four-year- 
old  filly  Spellbound.    Terms,  private. 

E.  J&.  Baker,  of  Vancouver,  Wash.,  has  just  sold  to  James 
Bottger  the  bay  yearling  filly  Bon  Boniere,  by  Oregon,  dam 
Brunette,  by  Virgilian  ;  consideration,  $510.  Mr.  Baker  and 
his  wife  are  at  present  visiting  in  this  city. 

Fred  Parker,  the  $115  gelding,  is  proving  one  of  the 
greatest  finds  on  record  in  California.  Zeke  Abrahams  and 
his  friends  are  credited  with  winning  a  handsome  sum  on 
him  Thursday,  odds  of  7  to  1  being  obtained. 

Starter  Pettingill  had  a  narrow  escape  from  being 
knocked  down  by  a  field  of  horses  at  New  Orleans  recently 
He  got  down  from  his  box  to  the  track,  and  after  dropping 
his  flag  was  a  little  slow  in  getting  on  the  fence. 

Bill  Letcher  will  not  be  trained  this  year.  The  report 
that  was  in  circulation  some  time  ago  that  he  would  be 
trained  again  this  year  was  a  canard.  His  owner  had  not 
then,  nor  has  he  now,  any  idea  of  training  him  again. 

Eugene  Leigh  on  February  12th  sent  thirty-two  horses 
to  Memphis  to  join  fifteen  already  there.  The  remainder  of 
the  string,  about  twenty,  will  be  sent  to  Nashville  early  this 
month.  Sixty-seven  head  in  training  is  "  a  neat  little  stable." 

Cy  Mulkey,  the  well-known  horseman,  will  bring  his 
string  of  thoroughbreds  to  the  Bay  District  Track  on  Satur- 
day, and  with  the  addition  of  Candid,  Crichton  and  Yarrana- 
bee,  he  will  have  one  of  the  strougest  collections  of  good  ones 
ever  seen  at  the  course.  

"  Bone  Doctor"  Bobbins  is  credited  with  winning  close 
to  $2,000  on  his  little  filly  Silver  Plate  Wednesday,  and  then 
he  let  her  go  to  some  Englishman  at  $350,  or  $50  over 
her  entered  selling  price.  The  filly  only  cost  Robbins  $120 
at  the  Weber  sale  last  week. 

D.  J.  McCarty  has  sold  to  Attorney  A.  Joseph  the  good 
bay  race  mare  Prize,  four  years  old,  by  imp.  Cheviot,  dam 
Sister  to  Lottery,  by  Monday  ;  consideration,  $1,500.  Prize 
will  probably  be  sent  to  the  stud.  Mr.  Joseph  is  getting 
together  quite  a  choice  collection  of  fillies. 


Doggett  and  Pettengill  are  still  at  outs.  Ever  since  the 
American  Derby  when  Doggett  and  theother  Eastern  jockeys 
worried  "Old  Pet"  almost  to  death  there  has  been  no  love 
between  the  two.  Last  week  the  starter  put  the  jockey  on  the 
ground  at  New  Orleans,  and  the  latter  says  be  is  going  back 
East.  

The  anti-pool-room  bill,  which  passed  the  House,  was  de- 
feated in  the  Kentucky  Senate,  February  17,  by  a  vote  of 
fortv-eight  to  twenty-three.  The  bill  came  up  on  an  unfavor- 
able committee  report  after  arguments  in  committlee  had 
been  heard  from  the  Louisville  and  Covington  poolroom 
attorneys. 

Kitty  Scott  has  demonstrated  her  superiority  among  the 
two-year-olds  thus  far  Bhown.  There  are  three  yountit-ters, 
said  to  be  "  phenoms,"  that  Kitty  has  not  measured  strides 
with  as  yet — Captain  Coster,  Playful  and  Adelante,  respect- 
ively in  the  stables  of  Peter  Weber,  Hanger  Jones  and  H. 
D.  Brown. 


J.  W.  Rogers  reports  that  the  race  horse  Daily  America  is 
broken  down  in  both  fore  legs  and  has  a  sprain  on  each  hind 
leg.  so  that  the  chances  of  his  facing  the  flag  again  are  exceed- 
ingly dim. 

The  string  of  racehorses  belonging  to  Messrs.  J.  A.,  A.  H. 
&  D.  H.  Morris,  which  have  been  racing  at  New  Orleans, 
has  been  dispersed  and  Wyndham  Walden,  Fred  Littlefield, 
Penn  and  all  the  boys  have  returned  to  New  York. 

Itis  estimated  that  the  number  of  horses  in  the  United 
States  at  the  present  time  exceeds  14,000,000,  and  that  their 
value  is  about  $911,000'fl00.  The  same  authority  avers  that 
the  first  horse  brought  to  this  continent  was  in  the  year  1518. 

On  Wednesday  of  last  week  the  Crescent  City  Jockey  Club 
at  New  Orleans  donated  its  entire  gate  receipts  to  the  Shakes- 
peare Almshouse.  Owing  to  bad  weather  the  attendance  on 
that  day  was  unusually  light  and  but  $684.50  was  realized  for 
the  charity. 

DURING  the  year  1893  racing  was  held  over  the  East  St. 
Louis  track  311  days,  which  topped  Gloucester  by  26  days, 
is  at  Thompson's  track  285  days'  racing  were  given  during 
the  year.  Hawthorne  Park  comes  third  on  the  list,  having 
raced  260  days. 

Should  imp.  Stromboli,  Wildwood  and  Rudolph  meet  at 
a  mile  and  a  quarter,  weight  forage,  on  a  very  fast  track,  in 
March,  it  would  be  hard  to  pick  the  winner  surely.  The 
jockeys  to  pilot  them  would  in  all  likelihood  be  E.  Morris,  J. 
Weber  and  Irving.  Wildwood  seems  to  be  the  best  mud  horse 
of  the  trio. 

M.  F.  Dwyer's  gallant  gelding  Raceland  is  (l  old  bones" 
no  longer  ;  he  has  let  down  and  fattened  up  to  such  an  ex- 
tent that  his  old  admirers  could  not  recognize  him.  Never  be- 
fore, even  during  the  Winter  months,  did  the  old  hero  carry 
anything  like  so  much  flesh.  He  is  as  frisky  as  a  youngster, 
and  will  add  more  stars  to  his  crown  the  coming  season. 

A  woman  named  Mrs.  Albertina  Eichhornhas  been  doing 
quite  a  flourishing  business  in  New  York,  running  a  book  on 
the  New  Orleans  and  St.  Louis  races,  exclusively  for  women 
speculators.  She  had  an  elaborately  furnished  series  of 
parlors.  The  police  raided  the  place  last  Tuesday  and  cap- 
tured the  proprietress,  and  she  was  later  held  in  $1,000 
bail.  

Two  of  the  most  promising  and  most  highly-tried  two- 
year-olds  in  the  Western  division  of  thoroughbreds  are  said 
to  be  in  the  Kentucky  stable  of  Chinn  &  Morgan.  One  is  by 
Luke  Blackburn,  out  of  Belle  Pate,  and  the  other  by  Blazes, 
out  of  Messalina,  the  dam  of  Readina.  They  were  both  bred 
in  this  section,  and  were  sold  at  the  yearling  sale  in  Chicago 
last  year. — Sporting  World. 

The  race  associations  of  the  State  of  Montana  recently 
completed  arrangements  for  sixty  days  of  racing  in  the  State, 
beginning  July  2d  and  ending  September  8th.  All  the  towns 
will  offer  big  purses.  The  dates  for  the  Montana  circuit  are  : 
Great  Falls,  July  2d  to  7ih  ;  Anaconda,  July  12th  to  28th; 
Butte,  August  1st  to  23d;  Helena,  August  25th  to  September 
1st;  Bozeman,  September  3d  to  Sth. 

Turfmen  in  all  sections  will  regret  to  learn  that  Mr.  Frank 
B.  Harper,  proprietor  of  the  Nantura  Stud,  near  Midway,  Ky., 
is  quite  ill  at  his  home  with  the  grip,  and  it  is  said  his  phy- 
sicians fear  he  will  not  recover.  Mr.  Harper  is  about  sixty- 
eight  years  old,  but  has  been  in  rather  poor  health  for  several 
years,  his  disabilities  causing  his  retirement  from  the  turf  a 
few  seasons  ago,  since  which  time  he  has  sold  the  produce  of 
his  mares  as  yearlings. 

The  stallion  St.  Damien  has  been  purchased  by  Mr.  Drey- 
fus for  his  stud  in  France,  and  Dr.  Freeman,  of  Bath,  has 
bought  Pepper  and  Salt  for  $10,000  from  Mr.  Halbroun,  and 
brought  him  back  to  England.  Pepper  and  Salt  is  the  sire 
of  Grey  Leg,  who  is  favorite  for  the  Lincolnshire  Handicap, 
and  he  was  purchased  a  year  ago  from  the  Duke  of  Westmin- 
ster for  Mr.  Halbroun  by  Mr.  W.  Allison,  who  also  had  the 
selling  of  St.  Damien.      

Isaac  Murphy,  finding  that  his  health  is  still  strong,  and 
his  natural  weight  not  increased  beyond  about  125  pounds, 
has  decided  that  he  will  again  get  himself  into  ridiog  shape 
and  be  ready  for  mounts  by  the  opening  of  the  season.  As 
Isaac,  when  in  trim,  can  easily  scale  at  110  pounds,  and  as  he 
is  at  the  same  time  a  thoroughly  honest  and  painstaking 
jockey,  as  well  as  a  rider  of  the  very  first  rank,  heshould  have 
no  difficulty  in  getting  all  the  mounts  he  cares  to  accept. 

The  great  trouble  with  the  Board  of  Control  was  that  its 
members  devoted  so  much  of  their  valuable  time  and  energy 
to  attacking  turf  reporters  that  it  had  neither  time  nor  en- 
ergy let  to  attack  turf  thieves.  Its  attitude  was  one  of  ex- 
treme hostility  to  any  kind  of  criticism.  The  result  of  the 
season's  work  of  this  remarkable  turf  organization  was  that 
of  all  the  horses  that  were  pulled,  of  all  the  horses  that  were 
run  short  of  work,  of  all  the  jobs  that  were  put  through  at 
the  expense  of  the  public,  the  only  people  who  remained 
ruled  off  at  the  end  of  the  year  were  two  turf  writers,  neither 
of  whom  ever  owned  a  racehorse  or  was  ever  accused  of  a 
greater  crime  than  losing  their  money  on  other  men's  horses.

In  a  personal  letter  written  by  R.  J.  Hancock  to  a  close 
friend,  the  master  of  the  famous  Ellerslie  Stud — than  whom 
there  is  none  more  capable  of  expressing  a  sonnd  opinion  on 
all  matters  relating  to  the  turf  and  turf  interests— expresses 
his  firm  conviction  that  the  decadence  of  the  turf  and  its 
present  threatened  condition  has  been  brought  about  primarily 
by  too  much  spriot  racing.  He  writes:  "  Pray  beg  our  jockey 
clubs  to  go  back  and  give  us  at  least  as  long  races  as  the  En- 
glish do."  He  further  suggests  what  appears -to  our  minds  an 
excellent  idea,  viz.,  that  the  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club  would 
do  a  great  service  to  the  turf  by  devoting  half  the  amount 
given  to  the  Futurity  Stakes  to  establishing  a  great  Fall 
Stake  at  two  miles  or  two  miles  and  a  half.  Such  a  race,  Mr. 
Hancock  thinks,  would  in  the  course  of  two  or  three  years 
prove  one  of  the  greatest  of  turf  attractions,although  it  might 
not  fill  well  at  first;  and  he  further  argues  that  we  should 
then  know  in  which  direction  to  look  for  stallions  and  brood- 
mares to  breed  forstamina.  In  another  portion  of  this  letter 
Mr.  Hancock  nays:  "  It  makes  me  heart  sick  to  go  back  to 
the  days  of  Harry  Bassett  and  Longfellow,  Eulus  and  Lizzie 
LucaB,  Salina  and  Tubman,  Bushwhacker  and  Princeton, 
Eole  and  Crickmore,  &o.  Pray  do  your  best  to  get  the  dis- 
tance increased." 


R.  S.  Fallon  sent  his  racy-looking  filly  Easter  Las?  down 
from  Hollister  late  last  week.  She  is  by  Judge  McKinstry,

siderably, but  is  about  two  inches  taller. 


Two  of  the  most  noted  stock  farms  in  Kentucky  have  been 
sold.  Mr.  John  T.  Hughes,  the  well-known  horseman,  has 
purchased  the  Prince  George  place  for  a  reported  price  of 
$60,000.  J.  R.  Keene,  the  Eastern  horseman,  has  bought  the 
Castleton  Farm,  the  property  of  Colonel  Ford  of  Virginia. 
Both  are  near  Lexington.  The  price  is  given  as  $70,000. 
They  are  two  of  the  best  farms  in  the  State  and  will  be  hand- 
somely improved. 

It  is  hard  to  find  an  owner  with  a  two-year-old  (provided 
the  youngster  has  not  started)  that  has  not  gone  a  quarter  in 
0:23  and  a  half  in  0:4S^  or  0:49.  As  there  are  so  many 
crackerjacks  in  the  stable,  it  would  be  an  excellent  idea  for 
the  local  racing  association  to  get  up  a  sweepstakes  of  $100 
a  corner  at  five  furlongs,  the  association  to  add  $400  or  $500. 
Among  those  likely  to  come  in  would  be  Kitty  Scott,Playful, 
Adelante  and  Captain  Coster.  That  Charley  Boots  and  others 
with  precocious  yaungsters  would  swell  the  crackerjack  list 
goes  without  saying. 

There  it  some  prospect  that  G.  E.  Smith's  good  horse 
Parvenue  may  stand  training  the  coming  season.  The  three- 
year-old  Trinculo,  in  the  same  stable,  has  furnished  wonder- 
fully well  since  retirement  to  winter  quarters.  He  has  every 
appearance  of  a  racehorse.  Mr.  Smith  has  a  pair  of  two-year- 
olds  that  are  thought  well  of.  One  is  by  Ventilator,  dam 
Pouch,  a  chestnut  of  medium  size  and  fine  quality,  and  the 
other  a  half  brother  to  St.  Michael,  a  bay  gelding.  Stoneoel- 
lie,  in  Mr.  Clason's  lot,  which  are  also  wintering  at  Morris 
Park,  looks  to  be  in  first-rate  shape.  She  has  grown  taller 
and  has  filled  out  well.  Both  on  her  form  last  year  and  on 
her  breeding  she  ought  to  be  a  game  and  speedy  little  mare 
this  coming  season. 

Rudolph's  winnings  as  a  five-year-old  last  season  footed 
up  to  $40,540.  The  gelding  started  eighteen  times,  winning 
on  fourteen  occasions,  being  third  twice  and  unplaced  twice. 
Domino,  a  two-year-o'd,  won  a  smaller  number  of  races  and 
over  $180,000  in  stakes.  This  is  not  as  it  should  be.  There 
should  not  be  such  a  difference  in  the  two-year  olds'  favor. 
In  other  words,  the  two-year  old  stakes  should  be  cut  down 
and  the  amounts  added  to  the  stakes  for  older  horses  greatly 
increased.  If  that  were  done  we  should  have  a  sounder  lot 
of  horses.  They  would  not  be  broken  in  limb  and  wind  at 
four  years  of  age,  as  many  of  our  horses  are  at  present,  and 
we  would  not  have  such  a  race  of  sprinters. 

Mr.  Marcus  Daly's  stallion  Child  of  the  Mist  is  now 
standing  at  his  birthplace,  the  Cobham  Stud,  where  it  is  be- 
lieved he  will  be  well  patronized,  as  with  scarcely  any  excep- 
tion his  stock  foaled  in  England  have  won  races,  though  in 
no  case  had  he  a  good  mare  put  to  him.  He  served  the  last 
three  seasons  at  Mr.  Daly's  stud  in  Montana,  and  was  only  de- 
posed to  make  room  for  Tammany.  It  will  be  interesting  to 
note  how  his  two-year-olds  shape  in  America.  He  was  a  very 
good  horse,  indeed,  himself,  and  distinguished  himself  greatly 
by  winning  two  big  stakes  the  same  afternoon  at  Ascot,  but 
this  effort  on  the  hard  ground  stopped  his  racing  career.  He 
is  the  last  great  son  of  Blair  Athol,  and  his  dam  Ma  Belle, 
also  produced  Beau  Brummel,  to  George  Frederick,  and  Rus- 
ticus,  to  Hermit,  beside  several  other  winneJs.  She  was  by 
Lord  Clifden,  out  of  Dulcibella  (winner  of  the  Cesarewitch) 
by  Voltigeur,  and  as  Lord  Clifden's  second  dam  was  Volley, 
own  sister  to  Voltigeur,  it  will  be  seen  that  there  is  here  a 
splendid  combination  of  the  Voltaire  and  Martha  Lynn 
blood.  I  should  not  be  surprised  to  see  Child  of  the  Mist's 
stock  in  America  do  fully  as  well  as  Tammany's. 

If  ever  ajockey  was  punished  for  his  offence  by  the  au- 
thorities of  the  turf,  that  jockey  was  Charley  Wood.  At  the 
time  he  received  his  warning  to  quit  the  turf  many  people 
felt  that  he  was  more  sinned  against  than  sinning.  During 
his  enforced  retirement  he  has  behaved  himself  like  a  gentle- 
man, and  surely  by  this  time  he  has  expiated  his  offence  to 
the  bitter  end.  As  we  take  it,  the  Jockey  Club  rules  are 
framed  for  the  prevention  of  crime  rather  than  a  scheme  of 
vengeance.  We  think  it  is  high  time  that  severe  penalty  im- 
posed upon  him  was  removed.  Many  attempts  have  been 
made  to  bring  this  about,  but,  for  some  reason  or  other,  the 
turf  authorities  have  not  seen  their  way  to  grant  it.  Now, 
however,  it  is  rumored,  and  we  believe  upon  good  authority, 
that  an  act  of  clemency  will  be  granted,  and  that  we  shall 
ooce  more  see  this  accomplished  horseman  in  the  saddle  by 
the  time  the  flat  race  season  commences.  If  ever  a  lesson  was 
clearly  taught,  it  has  been  taught  in  hia  case,  and,  while  we 
believe  that  it  has  done  a  great  amount  of  good  in  the  way  of 
purging  the  turf,  we  think  that  the  time  has  come  when  the 
olive  branch  should  be  held  out,  and  this  unfortunate  rider 
should  once  again  bave  the  chance  of  proving  to  the  world 
that  he  has  benefitted  by  the  lesson  taught  him. — [Bell's 
Messenger.  

Part  II.  of  "  Goodwin's  Official  Turf  Guide  "  for  1893  has 
made  its  appearance,  completing  the  record  of  last  year's 
racing.  The  work  has  been  amplified,  and  contains  several 
entirely  new  features.  These  include  a  complete  page  of 
statistics,  which  are  very  interesting.  The  number  of  races 
run  on  the  flat  in  1893  was  12.110,  and,  with  91  run-over 
jumps,  they  reach  the  astonishing  total  of  12,201.  This  is  an 
increase  of  5,512  since  1891.  In  Canada  189  more  races  were 
decided.  The  amount  of  money  thatw.is  run  for  is  computed 
at  $5,251,140,  exclusive  of  $47,922  distributed  in  Canada.  At 
Washington  Park,  Chicago,  the  huge  average  of  the  money 
run  for  per  diem  was  $11,172,  Hawthorne  Park  distributed 
most  money,  $'i55,250,  during  260  days.  East  St.  Louts  had 
the  most  racing,  311  days,  Gloucester  being  a  good  second 
with  2S5  days.  Simms  headed  the  list  of  winning  jockeys 
with  182  wins  in  671  mounts.  Willie  Martin  was  second, 
with  154  in  450;  Dogeett  third,  with  134  in  578.  Johnny 
Lamly  aud  Fred  Taral  each  rode  118  winners,  the  former 
with  467,  the  latter  with  400  mmmts.  These  five  are  the  only 
ones  that  passed  the  "  century  "  mark,  but  others  that  did 
well  were:  A.  Covington,  83  wins;  W.  Midglev,  78;  H. 
Penny,  68;  Hamilton,  55;  Jimmy  Lamly,  55;  Littlefield, 
52;  R.  Williams,  48;  Blake,  54,  etc.  It  is  impossible  to 
give  an  adequate  idea  witbin  limited  space  of  the  mass  of  in- 
formation contained  in  these  volumes,  but  no  racing  man  can 
afford  to  be  without  them.  The  first  volume  contains  842, 
the  second  1,072,  the  combined  amount  being  an  increase  of 
339  pages  over  1892.

The  Latest  Movement. 


The  recent  action  of  the  president  of  the  Blood  Horse 
Association  in  calling  a  meeting  of  its  members  to  dis- 
cuss the  financial  obligations  and  transact  such  other 
business  as  may  be  brought  before  them  surprised  a  large 
majority  of  the  members  by  its  suddenness.  The  meeting, 
hild  and  under  the  peculiar  existing  circumstances, was  the 
only  solution  of  the  knotty  financial  problem  that  stared 
the  association  in  the  face  seemed  to  be  the  acceptance  of 
the  proposition  olTercd,  which  leaves  the  1'.  < '.  B.  II.  A. 
free  from  debt,  and  in  a  position  to  become  an  active  and 
potent  factor  whenever  the  members  see  tit  to  give  racing 
under  its  management. 

The  California  Jockey  <  'lub,  in  assuming  all  the  debts 
of  the  I'.  ('.  I!.  II.  Assoeiatou,  is  but  u  repetition  of  the 
same  proceedings  that  took  place  many  years  ago  in  tlio 
affairs  of  the  American  Jockey  Club,  whose  place  at 
Jerome  Park,  New  fork,  was  one  of  the  finest  in  Amer- 
ica. The  debts  increased  so  rapidly  in  this,  the  leading 
racing  Organization  of  America,  that  another  association, 
called  the  Villa  Site  and  Improvement  I  !ompi  ny,  stepped 
in  and  guaranteed  the  payment  of  all  purses, allowed  the 
members  of  the  older  association  all  the   privilege     ol 


membership  by  the  payment  of  annual  dues  just  as  the 
California  Jockey  Club  in  this  State,  and  made  money 
and  soon  lifted  all  the  debts.  The  Villa  Site  and  Im- 
provement Company  owned  the  land. 

A  large  number  of  so-called  Jockey  Clubs  in  the  East 
to-day  a^e  owned  and  controlled  by  a  few  people,  and 
the  successful  example  they  set  is  no  doubt  followed  by 
Messrs.  Williams,  Spreckels  and  Flood,  here.  The  New 
York  Jockey  Club  is  controlled  by  the  Morrises,  J.  A. 
the  father  and  his  two  sons,  A.  H.  and  D.  H.  The  elder 
Morris  is,  and  has  been  for  years,  one  of  the  owners  of 
the  Louisiana  Lottery. 

The  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club  is  owned  and  con- 
trolled by  W.  K.  Vanderbilt,  one  of  the  famous  repre- 
sentatives of  the  family  so  largely  identified  with  New 
York's  interests. 

The  Brooklyn  Jockey  Club  is,  as  we  all  know,  con- 
trolled by  the  Dwyer  brothers,  Michael  F.  and  Philip  J. 

The  Monmouth  Park  Association  of  New  Jersey  is  a 
monument  to  the  late  Mr.  D.  D.  Withers,  and  although 
several  interests  are  represented  in  the  property,  he  was 
its  sole  manager  and  arbiter  during  his  lifetime,  while  at 
his  death,  Mr.  A.  J.  Walcott,  a  well-known  speculator 
and  large  holder  of  stocks  in  Chicago's  elevated  railroads, 
was  chosen  to  take  his  place. 

The  Linden  Blood  Horse  Association  is  in  New  Jer- 
sey, it  got  its  prestige  as  the  outcome  of  the  success  of 
the  winter  meeting  held  in  New  Jersey,  but  no  winter 
racing  was  held  on  this  course.  This  association  is  com- 
posed of  but  two  leading  men,  Jas.  E.  Kelly,  a  book- 
maker, and  L.  O.  Appleby,  another  wealthy  bookmaker. 

The  New  Jersey  Jockey  Club  is  controlled  by  the 
Dwyer  Brothers. 

Brighton  Beach  Association  has  for  its  standard- 
bearer  G.  H.  Engeman,  who  also  owns  and  controls  the 
famous  Clifton  Jockey  Club  of  New  Jersey.  The  one 
man  power  is  very  strong  in  the  East. 

The  Hudson  County  Jockey  Club  is  controlled  by  the 
"  Big  Four,"  which  is  composed  of  Geo.  Walbaum,  J.  C. 
Carr,  D.  McLaughlin  and  F.  Crusius. 

The  Saratoga  Racing  Association  is  Geo.  Walbaum's 
favorite.  So  we  might  go  on  enumerating  all  the  promi- 
nent "  so-called  "  racing  associations  that  are  owned  and 
controlled  by  a  few  individuals  and  are  therefore  "pro- 
prietary tracks." 

With  these  facts  as  precedents,  there  is  no  doubt  the 
same  motives  actuated  the  California  Jockey  Club  to  as- 
sume all  the  indebtedness  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  and  to 
strive  to  place  their  club  on  an  excellent  financial  basis. 
If  they  hope  for  success  they  must  give  liberal  purses  and 
merit  the  endorsement  of  the  public,  the  good  wishes  of  the 
horse  owners  and  the  support  of  those  who  pay  their 
money  to  see  racing  conducted  in  a  fair  and  impartial 
manner.  The  aim  of  the  officials,  from  the  lowest  to 
the  highest,  should  be  to  win  the  approval  of  all  who 
attend  by  the  strict  enforcement  of  the  laws. 


The  New  Association. 


The   Denver    Meeting. 


The  attention  of  our  readers  is  called  to  the  advertise- 
ment of  the  DuBois  Brothers  who  intend  to  give  a

their  horses  ready  for  this  great  meeting.  We  can  prom- 
ise all  visitors  a  royally-good  time,  and  everything  will 
be  done  to  make  their  visit  pleasant,     See  advertisement 

for  Conditions  and  till  other  nnrrifllldrn. 


TnF.  question  agitating  the  minds  of  the  horsemen  at 
the  Bay  District  track  at  present  is,  "  How  long  will  this 
meeting  last?" 


The  need  of  a  Pacific  Coast  Association  founded  on  a 
similar  basis  as  that  of  the  National  and  American  As- 
sociations for  the  regulation  of  all  affairs  connected  with 
the  trotting  and  pacing  horse  owners  and  drivers,  has 
been  a  growing  one  for  years,  but,  heretofore,  no  stej/S 
were  taken  to  form  one.  During  the  past  month,  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  has 
taken  up  the  subject  and  by  sending  circulars  to  all  of 
the  associations  on  this  coast  the  consensus  of  opinion 
seems  to  be  strongly  in  favor  of  it.  The  latest  notifica- 
tion (in  the  form  of  a  letter  circular)  contains  the  informa- 
tion that  a  meeting  is  to  be  held  at  the  office  of  this  jour- 
nal next  Wednesday,  March  7th,  at  S  P.  M. 

It  is  desirous  to  have  as  large  an  attendance  as  possi- 
ble, but  if  there  are  any  obstacles  which  might  prevent 
the  representatives  of  the  associations  or  proprietary 
tracks  from  being  present  proxy  may  be  sent.  Significa- 
tion by  letter  to  become  a  member  of  this  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  will  be  all  that  is  neces- 
sary. It  is  also  desired  that  with  the  letter  of  intention 
a  statement  be  sent  showing  amount  paid  for 
membership  to  either  of  the  Eastern  associa- 
tions. The  intention  is,  as  explained  in  the 
circular,  that  the  cost  shall  not  exceed  the 
present  expense  of  belonging  to  the  Eastern  associations. 
This  will  be  one  of  the  conditions  of  membership.  It 
can  be  easily  seen  that  should  this  convention  next 
Wednesday  evening  result  in  the  organization  of  the 
proposed  society,  the  expense  of  membership  will  not  be 
increased  while  equally  as  good  service  is  guaranteed. 

Every  judge  and  every  secretary  who  has  had  any- 
thing to  do  with  the  conduct  of  light  harness  race  meet- 
ings on  this  coast,will  appreciate  the  value  of  having  all 
questions  of  doubt  regarding  the  payment  of  forfeits  or 
the  settlement  of  all  disputes  arranged  immediately,  and 
this  is  one  of  the  principal  causes  why  this  associa- 
tion is  about  to  be  formed.  The  amounts  paid  in  to  the 
organizations  in  the  East  are  beyond  the  conception  of 
the  horsemen  who  are  engaged  in  the  business  of  breed- 
ing and  raising  trotters  and  pacers.  With  this  home  in- 
stitution the  money  will  remain  here  and  an  impetus 
be  given  the  industry  ':hat  will  restore  it  in  a  meas- 
ure to  its  former  greatness. 

It  is  to  every  horseman's  interest  in  California, Oregon, 
Washington,  Nevada,  Montana  and  Arizona,  that  this 
association  be  formed  at  once.  The  growth  of  the  in- 
dustry and  the  increase  of  race  tracks  all  over  this  vast 
territory  demand  it. 


An   Opportunity  for    Horsemen. 


As  Wm.  Corbitt,  proprietor  of  the  San  Mateo  Stock 
Farm,  intends  to  send  a  car  containing  some  choice  trot- 
ting stock  to  Chicago  within  a  week,  he  states  he  has 
room  for  a  few  more  horses,  and,  if  any  of  our  readers 
desire  to  take  advantage  of.  this  opportunity  of  shipping 
some  of  their  stock  they  can  learn  full  particulars  by  ap- 
plying at  this  office  immediately.  The  car  will  be  at- 
tached to  the  passenger  train  and  go  straight  through. 


The  second  volume  of  Goodwin's  Official  Turf  Guide 
came  to  hand  last  week.  In  addition  to  reports  of  races 
run  last  year,  it  contains  a  vast  amount  of  statistical 
matter  that  cannot  fail  to  entertain  all  who  take  an  in- 
terest in  turf  matters.  One  page  shows  that  there  were 
12,201  races  run  on  the  American  tracks  last  year  and 
189  on  Canadian  courses.  The  American  tracks  dis- 
tributed $5,251,140  and  the  Canadian  $47,922,  making 
a  grand  total  of  $5,299,002  that  was  divided  among  the 
owners  of  the  gallopers  last  year. 


There  should  be  a  law  passed  regarding  a  very  bad 
failing  of  the  jockeys,  and  that  is,  looking  backward 
while  in  the  homestretch.  A  fine  of  not  less  than  $100 
should  be  imposed  for  the  first  offense,  and  for  the  sec- 
ond the  culprit  should  be  set  down  indefinitely.  Many 
of  the  jockeys  have  been  very  severely  dealt  with  for 
offenses  far  more  pardonable -than  this. 


Woodland's  programme  of  colt  stakes  and  purses 
appears  in  another  column,  and  the  attention  of  all 
horsemen  is  called  to  it.  Entries  will  close  March  15th. 
We  hope  to  hear  from  our  enterprising  friends,  the  di- 
rectors of  this  Association,  that  a  large  list  of  entries  is 
received  on  or  about  the  date  of  closing. 


Subscriptions  to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  are 
coming  in  rapidly.  Everyone  of  these  subscribers  is 
pleased  with  the  liberal  premiums  offered. 


Now  is  the  time  for  secretaries  to  prepare  programmes 
for  their  race  meetings  this  year.

The    Biennial    Congress. 

The  following  criticism  on  the  action  of  the  Biennial 
Congress  which  convened  in  New  York  on  February  14, 
is  taken  from  the  Chicago  Horseman.  It  covers  the 
ground  so  well  that  we  republish  it  in  full : 

"  The  first  point  which  seems  to  merit  comment  is  the  ap- 
pointment of  a  standing  committee  on  rules  for  both  the  Na- 
tional and  A  merican  Trotting  Associations,  to  be  composed  of 
the  two  presidents.  During  the  deliberations  of  the  committee 
appointed  by  President  Johnson  to  revise  the  harness  turf 
laws  it  was  proposed  to  vest  in  these  two  gentlemen  the  right 
to  frame  and  put  in  force  any  measure  they  they  thought  ad- 
visable. The  centralization  of  dominion  which  the  forma- 
tion of  a  committee  with  such  powers  would  bring  about  is 
opposed  to  the  original  intent  of  the  whole  organization. 
Notwithstanding,  however,  a  vigorous  effort  on  the  part  of 
some  of  the  members  to.  have  the  personnel  of  this  com- 
mittee extended  to  six  or  eight,  the  two  presidents  were  in 
the  end  appointed  a  standing  committee  to  recommend  new 
rules  and  amendments  to  old  ones  to  the  biennial  congresses 
of  their  respective  associations.  The  placing  of  the  sole  right 
to  frame  and  pass  rules  and  regulations  for  the  government 
of  harness  racing  in  the  hands  of  two  men  would  be  a  very 
dangerous  experiment,  would  surelv  result  in  a  return  to  a 
reign  of  terror  similar  to  the  Vail  regime.  The  committee 
on  rules  also  recommended  that  no  rider  or  driver  should  be 
changed  after  the  beginning  of  any  race  unless  by  order  of 
the  judges.  Theredoes  not  appear  to  be  any  good  reason  why 
an  owner  should  not  be  allowed  to  change  drivers  at  any 
stage  of  a  race  should  he  think  it  for  his  best  interests  to  do 
so.  It  often  happens  that  an  accident  of  some  Kind  prevents 
the  regular  driver  being  present  at  the  beginning  of  a  race,  in 
which  case  somebody  is  generally  found  willing  to  step  into  the 
breaoh  until  the  proper  person  arrives.  Many  horses  will  only 
do  their  best  for  their  daily  trainer.and  in  the  instance  given  it 
is  well  within  the  power  of  an  association,  through  its  judges 
refusing  to  allow  a  horse's  regular  driver  to  get  up  behind 
him,  to  absolutely  estop  his  victory.  It  was  argued  by  those 
in  favor  of  passing  this  rule  that  drivers  are  sometimes 
changed  for  fraudulent  purposes.  It  has  also  been  the  right 
of  the  judges  to  take  a  driver  out  of  his  sulky  and  substitute 
another,  which  prerogative  certainly  covers  every  possible 
case  where  fraud  is  contemplated.  The  other  proceedings  of 
the  congress  consisted  in  adopting  the  rules  relating  to  time 
performances  recommended  by  the  joint  conference  last  spring 
and  this  constitutes  the  entire  amount  of  business  transacted. 
It  would  appear  that  amongst  a  certain  clique  in  the  National 
Association  the  spirit  which  dominated  T.  J.  Vail  still  sur- 
vives, and  to  it  has  been  added  a  desire  for  amalgamation 
which  would  place  owners  and  drivers  entirely  at  the  mercy 
of  individual  members.  They  have  scantenough  representa- 
tion as  it  is,  and  every  congress  seems  to  be  bent  on  tieing 
them  up  still  more  tightly.  None  of  the  rules,  which  in  their 
operation  cry  for  amendment,  were  even  discussed.  No 
official  action  was  taken  providing  punishment  for  associa- 
tions which  open  stakes  and  illegally  declare  them  off;  none 
relating  to  conditional  entries.  In  fact,  all  the  rules  which 
might  be  changed  for  the  benefit  of  owners  and  drivers  were 
severely  let  alone.  The  regulations  surrounding  tin-cup  rec- 
ords are  trivial  matters  of  public  interest  compared  with 
many  which  should  be  altered  in  conformity  with  the  present 
status  of  racing;  still,  they  occupied  much  time  and  were 
fully  discussed  by  the  committee  on  rules  and  in  open 
session.  The  time  will  surely  come,  however,  when  the  rules 
and  regulations  which  govern  harness  racing  will  be  amended, 
in  the  most  progressive  sense,  to  meet  the  demands  of  the 
great  body  of  breeders  and  owners  on  the  one  hand  and  the 
enterprising  racing  organizations  on  the  other  hand.  The 
interests  of  both  parties  are  really  identical." 


Cyrus  R.  Leaves  California. 


Horse  Talk. 


Cannot  Claim  Hinda  Rose. 


Judge  Seawell  has  decided  against  W.  A.  R.  Loose  in  his 
suit  to  recover  the  trotting  mare  Hinda  Rose  from  the  estate 
of  the  late  Leland  Stanford. 

It  is  now  nearly  fourteen  years  since  Loose  sold  the  brood- 
mare Beautiful  Bells  to  Stanford,  the  price  being  $1,200. 
Beautiful  Bells  had  never  done  much  to  distinguish  herself 
on  the  track,  and  nothing  was  said  about  a  foal  which  was  at 
the  mare's  side  until  ten  years  later,  when  the  present  suit 
was  instituted.  By  that  time  the  insignificent  foal  had  blos- 
somed forlh  into  the  great  trotting  mare,  Hioda  Rose,  breaker 
of  the  world's  record,  and  representing  much  in  the  way  of 
money,  besides  her  probable  value  at  the  stud. 

Loose,  who  is  a  Mono  county  horseman,  claimed  Hinda 
Rose  from  Stanferd  on  the  ground  that  the  filly  did  not  go 
with  the  broodmare  by  the  terms  of  sale.  His  claim  was 
denied,  and  then  Loose  entered  suit  (or  the  possession  of  the 
mare,  or  her  value — $50,000,  as  well  as  $25,000  damages  for 
her  unlawful  detention  at  the  hands  of  Standford. 

The  case  did  not  come  to  trial  before  Judge  Seawell  until 
after  Senator  Stanford's  death,  and  it  was  necessary  to  sub- 
stitute the  Stanford  estate  as  defendant  in  the  action.  For 
the  defense  it  was  argued  that  Stanford  had  negotiated  for 
the  purchase  of  Beautiful  Bells  long  before  her  filly  was 
foaled,  but  that  the  negotiations  were  dropped  only  to  be 
'taken  up  again,  and  completed  after  the  birth  of  the  foal.  It 
was  also  shown  that  for  years  Hinda  Rose  bad  been  trained 
and  raced  as  Stanford's  property,  no  question  of  ownership 
being  brought  up  until  the  trotting  mare   was  ten  years  old. 

In  deciding  in  favor  of  the  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  Judge 
Seawell  held  that  even  if  Loose's  contention  were  true  that 
the  filly  was  not  included  in  the  sale,  yet  that  from  the  lime 
Senator  Stanford  commenced  to  train  and  race  Hioda  Rose 
there  was  a  conversion  of  the  property.  The  statute  of  limi- 
tations operated  from  the  time  of  this  conversion,  and  on 
that  account  the  claim  of  Loose  has  been  long  since  passed. 


The  following  mares  have  been  sent  to  Dictatus,  the 
royally-bred  son  of  Red  Wilkes  and  Lollie,  by  Dictator: 
Dolly,  by  Mozart  (dam  of  Bruno,  2:19;  Salinas  Belle  (dam 
of  Ivolo,  2:i9),  by  Vermont  422  ;  a  daughter  of  Salinas  Belle, 
by  Carr's  Mambrino;  Belle  Mc  (daro  of  Silver  Bee,  2:27|)  ; 
Maggie  C,  2:25,  by  Hambletonian  725;  Daisy  M.,  by  Queen 
Sabe  (sou  of  Hambletonian  725) :  Skip  S .  2:36,  by  son  of 
Gen.  McClellan  144;  Yolo  Queen,  by  Caliph,  out  of  a  mare 
by  Alex.  Button;  the  dam  of  Con  Brio.  2:37,  by  Altoona; 
May  Queen  by  Abbot-ford;  an  Ulster  Wilkes  filly  out  of 
dam  of  Ben  Corbitt,  2:21 ,  and  several  other  good  mares. 

Chevalier  II.,  by  Silvio,  out  of  La  Creole,  has  been 
bought  for  the  Imperial  Stud  of  Russia. 


During  the  ten  years'  stay  of  the  great  stallion  Nutwood  in 
California,  he  was  neglected  by  breeders  for  the  simple  reason 
that  they  did  not  understond  his  real  worth.  He  was  bred 
to  mares  by  George  M.  Palchen  Jr.,  Hambletonian  725,  and  a 
number  of  other  sires  that  at  the  time  were  considered  the 
best  in  California.  He  sired  speedy  and  game  trotters  and 
pacers,  and  the  impress  he  left  on  the  trottiDg-horse  indus- 
try in  California  will  never  be  eflaced.  The  value  of  Nut- 
wood blood  is  appreciated  more  by  our  intelligent  breeders 
to-day  than  it  has  ever  been,  and  when  one  of  the  very  finest 
as  well  as  the  fastest  sons  of  Nutwood  is  about  to  leave  Cali- 
fornia it  is  a  loss  to  be  deplored.  T.  W.  Barstow,  proprietor 
of  the  Southern  Nutwood  Stock  Farm,  has  taken  no  small 
degree  of  pride  in  the  premier  stallion  on  his  farm,  the  hand- 
some Cyrus  R.,  who  got  a  record  of  2:17|  (the  fastest  ever 
mads  by  a  son  of  Nutwood  in  California)  in  1891.  He  has 
sent  us  word  that  he  intends  to  have  the  horse  sold  at  F. 
J.  Berry's  sale  on  the  26th  of  March,  and  we  cannot  let  the 
horse  go  without  saying  a  word  in  his  praise. 

Cyrus  R.  is  a  coal  black  in  color  with  small  star  in  fore- 
head. He  stands  15.3  hands,  weighs  1,100  pounds,  and  is  re- 
markably well  formed.  He  has  a  most  excellent  disposition! 
and  no  more  tractable  horse  was  ever  driven  on  track  or  road' 
Cyrus  R.  is  one  of  the  purest-gaited  trotters  ever  seen  on  the 
turf.  He  needs  no  booting  nor  heavy  shoeing; ;  he  is  a  per- 
fect line  trotter,  and  his  game  qualities  are  unquestioned  ;  in 
all  of  his  races  he  trotted  the  last  quarter  the  fastest.  He  is 
sound  as  a  new  dollar,  and  on  a  deep  track  while  hitched  to 
a  heavy  cart,  without  wearing  a  boot  of  any  kind,  he  trotted 
an  eighth  in  16A  seconds  last  Monday,  and  on  the  day  of  the 
sale  be  will  surprise  those  assembled  by  the  remarkable  speed 
he  will  show.  It  is  a  matter  of  regret,  as  we  said  before, 
that  this  horse  should  leave  California.  His  colts  and  fillies 
are  all  fine  and  handsome,  pure-gaited  and  stylish,  showing 
that  they  inherit  tne  many  excellent  qualities  of  their  6ire. 
Several  of  them  will  appear  on  the  circuit  this  year,  and  their 
owners  have  seen  enough  to  convince  them  that  they  have 
game  campaigners  of  a  high  order.  Every  horseman  in 
Santa  Clara  speaks  of  them  as  models  of  perfection. 

Everyone  knows  what  Nutwood,  2:18|,was  as  a  trotter,  but 
as  a  sire  is  it  not  remarkable  that  notwithstanding  his  long 
siege  on  the  turf  he  should  be  the  sire  of  109  trotters  and 
pacers,  his  daughters  have  produced  fifty-one  and  forty-nine 
of  his  sons  have  sired  115  in  the  2:30  list,  including  a  larger 
number  of  wonderfully  fast  trotters  and  pacers  than  those  of 
any  other  sire.  His  service  fee  is  $1,000,  notwithstanding 
the  hard  times  and  the  depression  in  the  trotting  hoise  busi- 
ness, his  book  for  1894  is  full.  His  greatness  increases  as  the 
years  roll  on  and  his  family  is  one  that  breeds  on  far  in  ad- 
vance of  all  others. 

Jack  Roberts,  the  sire  of  Belle,  the  dam  of  Cyrus  R.,  was  a 
very  fine  looking  horse  ;  be  is  noted  as  the  sire  of  the  dam  cf 
Hazel  H.,  2:13L  Jack  Robers  was  sired  by  Eclair,  out  of  a 
mare  by  Copperbottom.  Eclair  was  by  old  Pacing  Pilot  and 
was  owned  by  a  man  who  lived  near  Mountain  View  who 
claimed  that  this  horse  was  the  Blre  of  St.  Clair,  the  famous 
sire  of  the  dams  of  Bonita,  2:18],  Manzanita,  2:16,  etc.,  but 
before  the  proofs  of  the  statements  could  be  substantiated  by 
the  agent  sent  by  Leland  Stanford,  Mr.  Roberts  died.  The 
second  dam  of  Cyrus  R.  was  Young  Nance  by  Shakespeare 
a  thoroughbred.  Cyrus  R.  bas  two  crosses  of  the  great  Pilot 
blood  backed  up  by  that  of  the  best  thoroughbred  strains. 
Once  through  Nutwood  and  again  through  Belle,  his  dam. 

Whoever  buys  Cyrus  R.  will  have  not  only  a  horse  to  win 
money  with,  but  a  sire  that  will  make  his  name  famous  and 
his  owner  wealthy.  No  better-formed  borse  ever  left  Cali- 
fornia than  this  "black  Diamond  of  the  Nutwood  family." 

Some  time  ago  we  incidentally  remarked  that  the  cham- 
pion of  1894,  for  whom  everyone  is  looking,  might  be  by  a 
sire  like  Director,  out  of  a  not  much  thought  of  mare.  To 
this  Clark's  Review  takes  exceptions  and  lauds  Stemwinder  be- 
cause she  has  produced  two  2:20  performers.  That  does  not 
break  the  force  of  our  observation,  for  when  Stemwinder  was 
stinted  to  Director  she  had  produced  no  performers  and  was, 
so  far  as  the  well  informed  were  concerned,  not  much  thought 
of,  either  on  performance  or  breeding.  While  we  would  pre- 
fer as  many  trotting  or  pacing  ancestors  as  possible  in  a  pedi- 
gree, we  will  not  be  surprised  if  the  "  crack  "  of  1894  is  short 
bred  on  the  dam's  side  and  from  a  mare  of  whom  little  has 
heretofore  been  thought. — Western  Breeder.  [Stemwinder 
has  bad  but  three  foals— Electrina,  2:20,  foaled  in  1888  ;  Di- 
rectum, 2:04,  foaled  in  1889  and  the  bay  colt  Electrical  (that 
for  his  age  is  faster  than  either)  foaled  in  1892.  Stemwinder 
will  soon  foal  to  Direct,  2:05o.  She  bad  a  record  of  2:30J  and 
was  as  game  a  mare  as  ever  looked  through  a  bridle,  and  dur- 
ing her  short  career  on  the  turf,  was  given  enough  hard 
work  to  kill  five  horses  of  her  size  and  weight,  for  she  never 
was  handled  by  a  trainer  of  note  and  the  methods  used  would 
6et  a  mule  driver  blushing. — Ed.] 

How  ever  did  Orrin  Hickok  get  the  name  "the  Talley- 
rand of  the  Turf.'*  In  view  of  the  fact  that  Talleyrand  was 
the  most  consummate  scoundrel  the  French  nation  ever  pro- 
duced, are  we  to  believe  that  Hickok  is  like  him  in  his 
methods?  Talleyraml  never  failed  to  rob  a  friend,  nor  to  be- 
tray a  confident.  His  history  teaches  us  that  it  was  impos- 
sible for  him  to  be  honest.  Hickok  is  now  an  old  man,  but 
in  the  name  of  justice  we  demand  that  he  be  given  a  new 
nick-name  and  that  the  old  one  be  forgotten. — Western 
Breeder. 


Cloistei:,  the  favorite  for  the  Grand  National  Steeplechase, 
has  been  assigned  175  pounds  by  the  handicapper.  Ladas 
continues  first  choice  for  the  Derby,  being  quoted  at  3  to  1. 
Bullingdon,  who  has  been  backed  quite  heavily,  is  in  poor 
condition  and  may  possibly  miss  the  engagement. 

J.  H.  Steiker,  Secretary  of  the  American  Trotting  Asso- 
ciation, and  Eegistrar  of  the  American  Trotting  Register, 
arrived  in  ihiscity  to-day.  He  will  be  in  attendance  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  and  Pacing  Associa- 
tion next  Wednesday  evening. 

Lane  and  several  other  prominent  French  jockyes  have 
been  refused  licenses  to  ride  this  year.  The  turf  press  of 
France  commends  the  action  of  the  Jockey  Club. 


If  the  coH'b  ankles  seem  a  little  tired  and  weak  after  driv- 
ing, bathe  them  thoroughly  with  cold  salt  and  water  and 
wrap  them  in  bandages,  but  do  not  bandage  them  tightly. 

If  the  colt  carries  his  tail  to  one  side,  employ  a  skilled 
veterinary  surgeon  who  will  cut  a  cord  on  the  opposite  side, 
which  will  remedy  the  difficulty  and  add  fifty  dollars  to  the 
value  of  your  horse. 

Don't  give  the  faithful  servant  any  food  for  an  hour  after 
a  hard  drive  nor  for  two  hours  after  particularly  exhausting 
him.     Then  water  twenty  minutes  before  feeding. 

A  night  pasture  for  work  horses  will  help  to  cool  their 
blood.     Give  them  their  grain  ration  just  the  same. 

Don't  neglect  to  replace  the  roll  of  sale  in  each  stall  as  soon 
as  it  is  gone. 

Keep  the  stable  clean  and  use  plenty  of  plaster  to  absorb 
the  ammonia,  and  see  that  the  ventilation  is  good  and  that 
there  are  no  draughts. 

In  case  of  fire  throw  the  harness  on  the  horses  if  it  is  diffi- 
cult to  get  them  out  by  covering  their  heads  with  a  blanket. 
This  has  been  known  to  make  a  horse  manageable  when 
every  other  known  device  failed. 

If  you  have  a  suspicion  of  a  6pavin  coming  on  your  horse, 
employ  a  good  veterinary  surgeon.  Heroic  treatment  is  the 
only  thing  in  such  cases.  Judicious  firing,  strong  blistering 
and  perfect  rest  for  at  least  six  weeks  or  two  months,  and  good 
nursing,  will  in  most  cases  arrest  the  disease  and  cure  the 
lameness. 

Young  horses  should  not  be  shod  too  heavily,  the  shoe 
should  be  left  wide  open.  The  owner  should  see  that  the 
horse  does  not  stand  in  rotten  or  wet  litter  which  frequently 
causes  thrush.  This  disease  will  so  cripple  a  horse  that  he 
can  neither  gallop  nor  trot.  The  most  effectual  remedy  for 
it  is  a  daily  washing  of  carboiic  acid  lotion,  keeping  the  affect- 
ed feet  well  packed  with  tow  and  pine  tar  between  the 
washings. 

Death  to  lice  on  horses  is  easily  and  quickly  affected  by

Good  Road  Qualities  Increase  Values. 

It  is  but  a  few  years  since  a  trotter  with  a  record  a  little 
faster  than  2:15  was  considered  a  flyer  of  the  best  class,  and 
was  carefully  kept  during  the  winter  in  preparation  for  his 
next  campaign,  being  regarded  as  altogether  too  rare  and 
costly  a  commodity  to  be  driven  on  the  roads.  To  the  older 
school,  therefore,  it  must  sound  a  Utile  strange  to  hear  that 
the  reason  such  and  such  a  fast  performer  does  not  bring  a 
better  price  is  that  it  lacks  good  road  qualities.  At  a  recent 
New  York  sale  one  of  the  best-bred  mares  in  the  country  was 
sold  for  a  comparatively  small  price,  and  a  very  prominent 
road-rider  says  that  she  did  not  bring  more  money  because 
she  is  not  a  desirable  roads'er.  This  mare  caD  beat  her  rec- 
ord some  seconds,  and  will  be  most  likely  a  profitable  one  to 
campaign  this  season.  There  is  in  this  comment  a  good  les- 
son to  be  learned.  It  has  been  said  repeatedly  that  the  farms 
on  which  trotters  are  bred  as  a  business  are  the  poorest  places 
in  the  country  to  visit  when  in  search  of  a  well-broken  road 
borse.  The  reason  for  this  may  be  found  in  the  fact  that 
hitherto  the  energies  of  the  most  successful  breeders  have 
been  devoted  entirely  to  rolling  up  a  long  2:30  list  for  their 
premier  stallions,  and  in  consequence  the  education  of  the 
colts  has  been  confined  entirely  to  the  track.  The  result  is 
that  when  the  colts  mature  and  reach  the  sales-ring,  with  or 
without  fast  records,  they  are  unaccustomed  to  the  changing 
sights  and  scenes  of  the  road,  and  do  not  make  pleasant  driv- 
ers until  broken  again  by  a  competent  handler.  It  is  also 
quite  likely  that  a  long  course  of  track  work  has  made  them 
inclined  to  rush  along  instead  of  working  their  way  quietly 
until  called  upon  for  an  extra  effort.  The  time  is  past  when 
anything  shcrt  of  extreme  speed  will  bring  a  fancy  price 
without  both  good  looks  and  good  manners  as  concomitants. 
To  keep  abreast  of  the  times  breeders  must,  in  order  to  obtain 
remunerative  prices,  produce  good-shaped,  shapely  horses, 
able  to  trot  fast,  and  then  thoroughly  break  them  to  be  pleas- 
ant drivers.  It  is  certainly  an  anomalous  condition  which 
forces  dealers  in  fine  roadsters  to  seek  animals  suitable  to 
their  trade  ;n  farmers'  and  othersmall  breeders'  yards  instead 
of  on  the  large  breeding  farms. — Horseman. 


Love  in  a  Horse  Trade. 


There  was  a  marriage  booked  for  last  Thursday  night,  less 
than  twenty  miles  from  Harmony  Grove.  On  the  Wednes- 
day before  the  would-be  groom  sent  the  following  message  to 
his  fiancee : 

"  I  am  on  a  horse  trade.  How  would  it  suit  you  to  put  off 
the  marriage  until  I  can  make  the  trade  ?" 

Sorely  disappointed,  but  not  hopeless,  she  sent  him  the 
following  message: 

"  If  you  are  certain  the  horse  you  are  trying  to  trade  for  is 
not  mooneyed  or  swineyed,  or  got  the  lampns,  or  a  stnmsucker, 
and  will  work  well  to  a  roadcart  and  singlefoot  under  the  sad- 
dle, of  course,  I  will  wait;  but,  oh  !  dearest,  don't  waste  a 
moment ;  I  am  dying  for  the  happy  time  when  I  cao  call  you 
mioe  to  have  and  keep." — Atlanta  Constitution. 


Study  Your  Horse's  Face. 


Roman  nose,  in  a  horse,  like  the  corresponding  aquiline 
shape  in  a  man,  generally  indicates  strong  individuality,  often 
accompanied  bv  great  intelligence. 

A  straight  facial  line  is  quite  often  found  with  a  high  de- 
gree of  intelligence,  but  a  dish-faced  horse  is  rarely  anything 
but  a  nonentity  in  character  or  a  fool.  We  have  seen  few  ex- 
ceptions to  this  rule,  but  tbey  only  prove  it. 

A  fine  muzzle  usually  denotes  a  high  nervous  organization, 
while  a  coarse  and  large  muzzle  with  smalt  aod  non-expan- 
sive nostrils  and  pendulous  lower  lip  means  stupidity. 

A  sensitive  and  trumpet  shaped  nostril  means  courage  and 
intelligence,  even  when,  as  it  does  sometimes,  it  also  means 
heaves. 

A  broad  and  full  forehead  and  length  from  eye  to  ear  are 
good  indications  of  intelligence,  but  the  eye  and  ear  are  the 
peaking  features  of  a  horse's  face. 

A  half-mile  track  has  been  built  at  Col.  Archer's  place1 
Linden,  Cal.  Thos.  Keating  is  there  training  his  string  of 
trotters  and  pacers.  This  trainer  has  given  up  the  idea  of 
going  East  this  year;  he  will  stay  on  the  California  circuit.

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


The  New  York  show  contained  1344  entries. 


Mr.  Cawston,  the  well-known  fox-terrier  breeder,  contem- 
plates moving  his  ostrich  farm  to  Japan  after  the  Midwinter 
Fair  closes.  

Mr.  Cunningham  has  had  ihe  misfortune  to  lose  his  St. 
Bernard  dog  by  Alton — Tomah.  He  has  employed  Morse's 
Detective  Agency  and  will  make  everv  possible  effort  to  re- 
cover him.  It  is  not  known  whether  the  dog  strayed  or  was 
stolen.  

We  call  the  attention  of  the  Bench  Show  Committee  to  the 
new  rule  of  the  American  Kennel  Club  regarding  puppies, 
viz  :  No  entry  shall  be  accepted  of  any  puppy  under  six 
months  of  age,  either  for  competition  or  exhibition,  subject 
to  a  penalty  of  $10  for  each  under-age  puppy  placed  on  ex- 
hibition.   

Two  cew  St.  Bernards  arrived  in  town  on  Monday  last  viz.: 
Mr.  F.  A.  Betlis'  Lord  Hualpa  21342  bv  Alton — Keepsake 
(Ch  Keeper— Lady  Miles)  and  Bohemian  Girl  14,971  (Ch 
Beanchamp — Florida).  The  latter  was  immediately  secured 
by  the  Namqnoil  Kennels  and  on  Tuesday  whelped  eight 
puppies,  five  dogs  and  three  bitches.  They  are  beautifully 
marked  and  at  present  writing  are  strong  and  healthy. 

A  kennel  club  for  Stockton  is  an  assured  fact.  Mr.  Hefier- 
nan  has  been  working  to  this  end  for  some  months  and  writes 
that  the  club  will  start  with  twenty  members,  possibly  more. 
This  is  as  it  should  be,  now  let  other  towns  follow  suit.  Small 
shows  could  be  held  in  connection  with  the  agricultural  fairs, 
throughout  the  State,  and  the  result  would  not  ouly  assist  the 
local  fancy,  bu'  materially  aid  the  larger  shows. 

Forest  and  Stream  voices  our  oft-expressed  opinion  that  the 
Pacific  Coast  and  the  far  West  should  have  a  kennel  club  of 
their  own,  on  the  principle  of  the  American  Kennel  Club. 
New  York  is  too  far  distant  from  Portland  and  Seattle  to 
admit  of  pruper  jurisdiction.  We  are  too  far  away  to  be 
looked  upon  as  anything  but  offshoots  and  the  fag-end  of  the 
kennel  world.  Not  that  "the  powers  that  be"  knowingly 
overlook  our  wants,  but  because  the  governing  body  is  ignor- 
ant of  what  our  wants  mav  be. 


We  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  Mrs.  Thos.  Higgs'  English 
setter  bitch  Lady  Blanche  this  week.  She  is  very  pretty,  small, 
but  wirv,  and  well  proportioned.  Mr.  Higgs  inform*  us  that 
though  but  ten  months  old  she  is  working  well  already,  quar- 
tering prettily,  pointed  staunchly  and  showing  great  speed. 
She  is  well  bred,  being  by  Donald  Bane  (Dick  Bondhu — 
Western  Belle),  out  of  Frost  (Prince  D. — Jessie  D.),  Prince 
D.  by  Count  Noble  out  of  a  bitch  by  Gladstone.  She  will  be 
entered  in  the  next  Derby,  and,  we  trust,  will  be  among  the 


Oar  Portland  contemporary  contained  an  article  on  Bench 
Shows  last  week,  that  should  be  corrected.  As  the  article  is 
a  clipping,  we  imagine  that  friend  Dunham  ran  >t  without 
reading  it  carefully.  Pedigree  has  nothing  whatever  to  do 
with  a  dog's  winning  at  a  bench  show.  If  the  dog's  pedigree 
is  unknown  it  must  be  so  stated  on  the  entry  blank.  The  dog 
must  be  of  pure  breeding  in  appearance,  or  it  will  have  no 
chance  of  winniny,  but  the  judge  is  not  supposed  to  know 
how  the  dogs  are  bred.  If  he  is  not  sufficiently  expert  to 
know  a  thoroughbred  from  a  mongrel  without  asking  for  the 
pedigree,  he  is  not  fit  to  serve  in  the  sawdust  ring.  A  dog  is 
just  as  eligible  for  competition  without  a  pedigree  as  with 
one. 

American  Kennel  Club  Rules. 


We  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  the  kennel  clubs  on  this 
Coast  to  the  rule  of  the  A.  K.  C.  that  demands  that  all  ken- 
nel clubs  holding  shows  under  A.  K.  C.  rules  must  offer  not 
less  than  $500  as  cash  prize  money. 

Practically,  this  prohibits  Stockton,  Los  Angeles,  Portland, 
Seattle  and  other  clubs  that  may  spring  up  at  any  time,  from 
holding  shows  under  A.  K.  C.  rules.  Is  this  encouraging  the 
breeding  of  thoroughbred  dogs? 

In  the  East  where  there  are  ten  shows  to  every  one  held 
here,  it  is  unquestionably  a  good  rule,  but  on  the  other  hand, 
on  this  coast  where  mow  shows  are  wanted  and  should  receive 
every  encouragement,  it  is  working  a  great  injury. 

In  this  same  connection  comes  the  Challenge  Class  ques- 
tion. Should  a  win  at  a  small  show  like  Seattle,  count  as 
much  toward  a  championship  us  New  York,  Chicago,  Boston 
or  San  Francisco?     t'nqiitstionably  no! 

I,*  I  the  smaller  towns  hold  their  shows,  whether  they  give 
$200  or  $2,000  in  prizes,  but  why  not  grade  the  value  of  the 
winning-  Section  1  of  Article  XV.  of  the  rules  governing 
bench  shows  reads  as  follows: 

"The  Challenge  Class  shall  be  for  all  dogs  having  won  four 
first  prizes  in  the  open  class,  A  deg  having  won  three  first 
prizes  in  this  class,  one  of  which  shall  have  been  won  at  a 
show  having  not  less  than  500  entries,  shall  have  the  privi- 
lege of  the  title  of  champion  without  further  competition." 

The  clause  regarding  the  500  entries  is  an  injustice  to  this 
-  liuMfl  :it  Pan  Francisco  are  fully  equal 
io  quality  to  those  in  shorn  of  mora  thao  600  entries  in  the 
East.  Yet,  should  the  Ban  Francisco  show  bring  out  4D0  en- 
tries, we  must  ship  our  dogs  2,000  miles  to  show  them  at  a 
show  where  the  lass  may  be  poorer  than  at  San  Francisco  in 
order  to  win  the      veled  title. 

Either  thi^  OOi  -honld  be  made  an  exception  to  the  rule 
or  the  rule  should  be  changed.  We  suggest  the  following 
as  a  substitute: 

The  challenge  class  shall    be   for  all   dogs   having    won 


four  first  prizes  in  the  open  classes.  A  dog  having  won 
six  points  in  the  chatlenge  classes  shall  be  entitled  to  the 
title  of  champion  without  further  competition.  Two  of  the 
six  points  to  be  won  at  a  two  point  show.  New  Yord,  Chi- 
cago, Boston,  Philadelphia  and  Sao  Francisco  (or  any  such 
as  the  A.  K.  C.  shall  name  from  time  to  time)  to  count  as 
two  point  shows.  All  other  A.  K.  C.  shows  to  be  one  point 
shows. 

The  Kennel  Clubs  on  this  Coast  should  instruct  their  dele- 
gates regarding  these  matters  at  once.  It  is  high  time  that 
the  Pacific  Coast  was  recognized  as  a  portion  of  the  Uuited 
States. 

Champion  Dick  Swiveler. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — It  was  with  sur- 
prise, no  doubt,  that  many  of  your  readers  saw  the  attack 
in  your  paper  of  February  3d  in  relation  to  Dick  Swiveler 
and  myself.  As  it  is  a  well-known  fact  that  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman  publishes  nothing,  only  facts  and  records 
relating  to  horses,  as  it  is  an  authority  on  the  same,  and 
everybody  interested  in  kennel  matters  expects  your  paper  to 
treat  this  subject  just  as  impartially  as  you  do  the  horses 
and  publish  nothing  but  facts  and  records  about  the  same. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  winnings  of  Dick  Swiveler  up  to 
date: 

First  prize,  open  class,  New  Yrork,  1889,  in  a  class  of  thirtv- 
five.  Max  Wenzel,  Judge.

First  prize,  challenge  class  and  special  for  best  Irish  setter, 
Providence,  1S93,  and  many  other  special  prizes. 

The  following  well-known  gentlemen  have  given  Dick 
Swiveler  first  prize  at  the  above  shows  mentioned,  which  fact 
speaks  for  itself:  Max  Wenzel,  James  Mortimer,  H.  L. 
Goodman.  Major  J.  M.  Taylor,  J.  O.is  Fellows,  John  David- 
son and  John  F.  Schwaitman. 

So  much  for  the  merit  and  quality  of  Champion  Dick 
S-viveler  as  an  Irish  setter.  He  has  defeated  every  promi- 
nent Irish  setter  in  the  United  States  up  to  date.  During 
the  last  four  years,  except  Elcho  Jr.  who  died  an  undefeated 
champion,  and  I  own  a  full  sister  to  Elcho  Jr.,  Challenge 
Lady  Elcho,  who  has  never  met  with  defeat  up  to  date. 

Yrour  paper  of  February  3d  says  the  only  field  trial  win- 
nings of  the  sire  and  dam  of  Champion  Dick  Swiveler  are 
third,  Philadelphia  Kennel  Club  Field  Trials,  18S7. 

Now,  let  us  look  at  the  records  of  his  sire,  grandsire  and 
great  grandsire,  bis  dam  and  grandam.  Dick  Swiveler's  sire 
is  Champion  Bruce,  by  Champion  Elcho,  ex  champion 
Noreen,  which  makes  Champion  Bruce  a  full  brother  to  Ch. 
Elcho  Jr.  Champion  Bruce's  field  record — Third,  P.  K.  C. 
Field  Trials,  1887,  open  to  setters  and  pointers. 

Champion  Dick  Swiveler's  dam  Leigh  Doase  II.,  record 
first  P.  K.  C.  field  trials,  1885,  open  to  setters  and  pointers. 
Sire  of  Leigh  Doane  II. — Champion  Chief,  record  first  East- 
ern field  trials,  1880,  open  to  the  world  ;  first  F.  I.  C.  field 
trials,  1SS5;  first  J.  C.  K.  C.  field  trials,  1SS5;  second  F.  I.  C. 
field  trials,  1884,  open  to  setters  and  pointers. 

Leigh  Doane  IL,  dam  Leigh  Doane,  record  third  P.  K.  C. 
field  trials,  1884,  open  to  setters  and  pointers. 

Champion  Chief,  sire  Champion  Berkeley,  is  well  known 
as  a  field  trial  winner.  Dick  Swiveler'ssire,  Champion  Bruce, 
is  a  field  trial  winner;  his  grandsire.  Champion  Chief,  is  a 
field  trial  winner ;  his  great  grandsire,  Champion  Berkeley, 
is  a  field  trial  winner.  Dick  Swiveler's  dam,  Leigh  Doane 
II.,  is  a  field  trial  winner;  Dick's  grandam,  Leigh  Doane,  is 
a  field  trial  winner,  and  Dick's  full  sister,  Leigh  Doane  III., 
is  a  field  trial  winner. 

As  the  records  speak  for  themselves,  any  statements  to  the 
contrary,  nevertheless,  it  is  to  be  hoped  in  the  future  that  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  will  confine  itself  to  facts.  In 
your  issue  of  February  3d  yon  say  :  "  We  do  not  propose  to 
sit  quiet  and  see  the  public  misled  in  any  such  manner  as 
his  present  owner  is  attempting."  On  February  17th  you 
used  the  following  words,  commenting  upon  Dick  Swiveler: 
"  We  will  not  allow  the  public  to  be  misled  in  such  matters." 
I  wish  to  inquire  to  what  your  editor  refers  (o  on  both  these 
dates,  as  I  never  misrepresent  anything  and  always  pay  my 
honest  debts. 

All  statements  which  I  have  made  in  relation  to  Cham- 
pion Dick  Swiveler  were  published  in  the  circulars  issued  by 
W.  L.  Washington,  proprietor  of  Kildare  Kennels,  Phila- 
delphia, Pa.,  and  F.  C.  Fowler,  proprietor  of  the  <  >»k  Grove 
Kennels,  Woodus,  Conn  ,  and  have  never  been  disputed,  and 
if  I  am  not  very  much  mistaken,  they  have  advertised  in  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman.     Y'ours  truly, 

A.  B.  Tri  MAN, 
Owner  of  Champion  Dick  Swiveler. 

San  Francisco.  Cal.,  February  26,  1894. 

[The  above  list  of  Champion  Dick  Swiyeler's  individual 
winnings  is  doubtless  correct,  but  when  a  man  names  a  whole 


list  of  dogs  that  a  dog  has  defeated  why  can't  he  be  honest 
enough  to  give  also  a  list  of  the  dogs  that  have  defeated  him? 
Nearly  all  of  the  dogs  mentioned  in  the  above  have  defeated 
Dick  Swiveller  time  and  time  again.  We  have  not  the  slight- 
est objection  to  printing  the  list  of  wins.  The  dog  is  entitled 
to  that  much  space,  so  is  any  other  dog  of  equal  quality.  We 
never,  by  implication  or  otherwise,  denied  the  great  individ- 
ual bench  show  qualities  of  Dick  Swiveler.  His  title  of 
champion  is  sufficient  evidence  of  that,  especially  when  won 
in  the  East.  We  knew  the  dog  well  before  Truman  ever 
heard  of  Ijim,  and  would  be  foolish  indeed  to  try  to  injure 
his  reputation  as  a  winner,  when  it  is  an  acknowledged 
fact. 

We  denied  the  truth  of  the  statements  made  by  Truman  in 
his  advertisements,  and  in  all  of  the  above  there  is  not  one 
word  of  evidence  to  the  contrary.  At  the  latter  end  of  the 
article  Mr.  Truman  says:  "I  wish  to  inquire  to  what  you 
refer  on  both  these  dales,  as  I  never  misrepresent  anything 
and  always  pay  my  honest  debts."  It  is  utterly  impossible 
for  us  to  furnish  Mr.  Truman  with  kennel  notes  and  eyes  to 
see  them,  or  brains  to  understand  them.  As  to  misrepresen- 
tation, the  advertisement  referred  to  is  not  only  a  misstate- 
ment, but  the  article  above  is  another.  If  they  are  not  will- 
ful, they  are  the  result  of  ignorance,  neither  of  which  are  we 
accountable  for. 

We  can  prove  every  statement  made  in  our  issue  of  Februarg 
3d,  Dick  Swiveler  never  sired  anything  of  either  great  bench 
or  field  quality.  Truman  has  not  reduced  the  stud  fee  to  $25 
for  the  benefit  of  the  breed  on  the  coast.  ^Firstly,  because  the 
former  owners  have  not  asked  any  higher  stud  fee  for  more 
than  a  year,  and  secondly  because  he  is  not  a  successful 
sire.  These  are  the  statements  that  we  made,  both  of 
which  Truman  fails  to  answer. 

In  the  above,  in  writing  of  Ch.  Bruce's  field  record  he 
says  :  "  Open  to  tetters  and  pointers,  wishing  to  convey  the 
idea  that  he  won  at  an  open  trial.  The  same  occurs  a  few 
lines  below  in  the  record  of  Dick's  dam,  Leigh  Doane  II, 
also  in  the  record  of  Ch.  Chief.  (We  suppose  he  means 
N.  J.  K.  C,  trials,  as  there  never  were  any  J.  C.  K.  C. 
trials),  also  in  the  F.  I.  C.  trials,  and  in  the 
record  of  Leigh  Doane.  Every  one  of  the  above  stakes  were 
open  to  members  only,  and  consequently  contained  but  few 
entries,  but  Truman,  to  make  his  "  write  up  "  more  effective, 
says  after  each  one,  ''open  to  sellers  and  pointers."  He  orig- 
inally wrote  it  in  his  copy  "  ad  setters  and  pointers,"  but  evi- 
dently some  one  corrected  his  copy  and  drew  a  pen  through 
the  word  ell. 

He  originally  stated  that  Ch  Bruce  won  fourth  P.  K.  C. 
1887.  We  corrected  that  statement,  he  won  third  and  now 
we  will  give  him  another  correction.  Leigh  Doane  did  not 
win  third  P.  K.  C.  1SS4.     She  won  second. 

Truman  further  states:  "  Y'our  paper  of  February  3rd  says 
the  only  field  trial  winnings  of  the  sire  and  dam  of  Ch  Dick 
Swiveler  are  third  P.  K.  C.  field  trials  1887.  We  wrote  ■  "The 
only  field  trial  winnings  of  sire  and  dam  are  third  Philadel- 
phia Kennel  Club  trials,  1887,  nine  starters  (six  of  the  nine 
Irish  setters,  first  won  by  **n  English  setter)  and  first  Phil- 
adelphia Kennel  Club  trials,  1885,  four  starters,  two  Irish, 
two  English.  Both  trials  open  to  members  only."  If  he  had 
copied  the  paragraph  in  full  as  he  should  have  done  it  would 
have  been  more  satisfactory.  There  are  field  trial  winners 
and  field  trial  winners.  .  We  fail  to  see  much  to  brag  about  in 
such  winnings  as  these. 

He  further  states  that  Dick  Swiveler  has  defeated  "eyery 
prominent  Irish  setter  io  the  United  States  up  to  date."  Will 
he  kindly  inform  us  when  and  where  he  every  defeated  Fing- 
las.  He  certainly  never  met  him  in  the  field  as  no  one  ever 
accused  Dick  of  showing  sufficient  field  quality  to  warrant  his 
owners  entertaining  him  at  a  trial.  If  he  has  ever  defeated 
Finglas  on  the  bench  we  would  like  to  know  where  and  when. 
We  hazard  the  opinion  that  Finglas  as  a  field  performer,  a 
bench  winner  and  successful  sire  has  no  equal  in  America  to- 
day, and  when  a  man  states  that  his  dog  has  beaten  every 
prominent  dog  of  the  same  breed  in  the  L'nited  States,  we 
think  it  high  time  tnat  he  should  stick  to  the  truth  and  make 
his  statements  so  plain  that  there  will  be  no  doubt  of  their 
correctness. 

Mr.  Truman  implies  that  we  are  partial.  It  is  our  im- 
partiality that  has  started  this  controversy.  We  see  no  reason 
why  we  should  allow  anyone  to  make  mistatements  in  order 
to  boom  one  dog  at  ihe  expense  of  others.  The  rule  is  fol- 
lowed in  all  other  departments  of  this  paper,  and  while  ad- 
admitting  that  there  are  good  representatives  of  the  equine  as 
well  as  the  canine  species.  No  owner  can  use  these  columns 
for  his  personal  gain  and  to  gratify  his  aims  at  the  sacrifice  of 
others.  All  that  is  asked  of  those  who  are  engaged  in  im- 
proving either  the  breeds  of  dogs  or  horses  is  that  the  owners 
do  not  make  any  misrepresentations  for  if  they  do  they  will 
be  showu  in  their  true  light  whether  the  advertisements  ap- 
pear in  this  or  any  other  journal  published  on  this  coast  or 
elsewhere.     The  truth  is  mighty  and  must  prevail. — Ed.] 


To-Morrow's  Coursing^Meeting. 


The  Inter-State  meeting  which  commences  to-morrow  (Sun- 
day) at  Newark  will,  in  all  probability,  be  one  of  the  best 
meetings  yet  held  under  the  auspices  of  the  San  Francisco 
Coursing  Club.  Sixty-four  dogs  it  is  almost  certain  will  com- 
pete and  among  these  will  be  all  the  cracks  of  the  State  such 
as  Skyrocket,  Short  Siop,  Long  John,  Dotty  Dimple,  Gile, 
Gare,  Queen  Bess,  Daisy,  Rollalong,  Waratah,  Flashlight, 
Marvelous,  Coomassie  and  indeed  every  dog  in  the  Stale  that 
has  made  a  record  of  any  kind  during  the  past  year  as  well 
as  many  young  ones  who  have  yet  their  names  to  establish. 

Mr.  Dugan,  who  has  care  of  the  field,  informs  us  that  the 
running  grounds  are  iu  splendid  condition  and  that  the  hares 
in  the  park  are  perfect  (I yers,  equal  to  any  that  can  be  found 
either  on  the  Merced  or  Sao  Joaquin  plains.  Lovers  of  the 
chase  should  not  fail  to  attend  this  meeting  as  it  cannot  fail 
to  be  a  great  one  Mr.  Grace  will  be  in  the  saddle  and  Mr. 
Wren  will  handle   the  slips,     The  round  trip  from  the  city  is

Columbia  Kennel  Club. 


The  Columbia  Kennel  Club  expects  to  hold  a  show  on  the 
dates  chosen  by  the  former  Portland  Kennel  Club,  about  May 
15th,  but  on  account  of  the  doubt  regarding  the  holding  of 
the  San  Francisco  show,  which  would  make  quitea  difference 
in  the  expense  of  getting  out  a  judge,  the  combined  clubs  are 
in  some  doubt  whether  it  will  be  advisable  to  hold  a  show. 
It  will  be  decided  at  their  meeting  on  Tuesday,  March  6th.

Two-Legged  Dogs. 


Just  think  of  a  collection  of  five  dogs,  each  canine  possess- 
ing only  two  legs,  says  the  Cincinnati  Eaquirer.  That  is 
the  remarkable  possession  of  C.  \V.  7Aan,  a  switchman  in  the 
employ  of  the  C.  H.  and  D.  Railroad  Company.  Mary  and 
John,  tbe  head  of  the  family,  were  ushered  into  the  world 
two  years  ago  minus  their  front  legs.  Handicapped  as  they 
are  most  dogs  would  lie  down  and  grieve  themselves  to  death  r 
But  Mary  and  John  didn't  do  anything  of  the  sort.  When 
but  a  few  weeks  old  they  displayed  wonderful  agility,  and  it 
was  not  long  before  they  proved  themselves  equal  to  the 
emergency  which  nature  had  forced  upon  them.  They  soon 
learned  to  stand  erect  and  hop  along  as  easily  as  their  more 
fortunate  four-footed  companions  would. 

Last  July  Mary  became  a  mother,  and  her  offspring  proved 
to  be  also  of  the  "walk  standing"  variety.  This  pup  was  named 
Colonel,  the  details  of  whose  birth  were  printed  in  the  En- 
quirer at  that  time.  The  Colonel  became  quite  famous,  and 
hundreds  of  visitors  went  to  his  kennel  to  see  the  youngster 
and  his  biped  parents.  He  grew  !o  be  quite  a  husky  youth, 
but  departed  his  two-legged  life  on  tbe  31st  of  last  December 
in  a  fit  of  hiccoughs. 

Mr.  Zinn  felt  his  loss  keenly,  but  last  Sunday  his  grief  gave 
way  to  joy,  for  Mrs.  Mary,  like  the  good  mother  that  she  is, 
presented  her  master  with  three  puppies,  two  males  and  a 
female,  each  one  having  only  two  legs.  They  have  been 
named  Pat,  Dan  and  Bridget.  Pat  is  a  brindle,  the  exact 
counterpart  of  hh  father.  John,  while  Bridget  is  a  pocket 
edition  of  her  mother.  Dan  is  a  sort  of  composite  of  the 
parents — neutral,  as  it  we:e,  in  color. 

Tne  news  of  the  youngsters'  arrival  has  caused  considerable 
interest  in  Cumminsville  in  the  neighborhood  of  Mr.  Zinn's 
home,  and  hundreds  of  people  called  Sunday  and  Monday  to 
see  the  curious  little  animals. 

The  parents  of  the  queer  little  family  are  brother  and 
sistea.  John  is  a  brindle,  and  Mary's  hair  is  a  delicate  shade 
of  yellow.  Tbsy  are  quite  small.  The  mode  of  lomomotion 
is  remarkable  graceful,  and  from  all  appearances  Mary  and 
Sohn  are  never  inconvenienced  through  being  short  in  the 
matter  of  legs.

The  author  will  kindly  accept  our  thanks  for  a  copy  of 
Modern  American  Pistols  and  Revolvers.  This  complete 
treatise  in  modern  pistol  shooting  is  written  in  the  author's 
practical  vein  and  is  full  of  most  valuable  information. 
American  revolvers  of  all  the  principle  makers  are  fully  de- 
scribed. Full  instruction  regarding  reloading  ammunition  ; 
pistol  and  revolver  shooting  at  long  range ;  rules  for  pistol 
and  revolver  shooting  ;  records  of  revolver  and  pistol  shoot- 
ing, and  much  more  other  valuable  information.  Over  100 
illustrations  of  revolvers,pistols,  targets  and  noted  pistol  shots 
are  scattered  throughout  the  book.  As  a  work  of  informa- 
tion and  record  it  cannot  be  excelled.  The  author,  A.  C. 
Gould,  ("  Ralph  Greenwood  ")  is  already  well-known  as  the 
author  of  Modern  American  Rifles  and  Sport,  or  Fishing  and 
Shooting.  The  price  of  this  book  is  $1.50,  for  sale  by  Rrad-

Mr.  Harry  Comstock,  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Wilkes- 
Barre  Gun  Co.,  of  Wilkes-Barr,  Penn.,  is  in  town,  introduc- 
ing the  new  Wilkes  Barre  gun.  This  is  one  of  the  neatest- 
appearing  guns  on  the  market,  very  nicely  balanced  and  of 
excellent  wormanship  throughout.  The  safety  is  automatic 
or  independent,  as  desired,  and  positive  in  action.  The  locks 
are  very  simple  in  construction,  and  should  wear  well.  The 
gun  can  be  put  together  whether  the  gun  is  cocked  or  not. 
The  triple  cross-bolt  makes  the  gun  a  very  strong  and  safe 
one.  Mr.  Comstock  has  made  arrangements  with  the  Pope 
Manufacturing  Co.'s  agents  in  this  city,  and  will  have  an 
exhibit  in  connection  with  their  bicycle  exhibit  in  the  Indus- 
trial Aria  building  at  the  Midwinter  Fair.  Mr.  Comstock 
was  for  many  years  the  Asian  agent  for  the  Remington  Arms 
Co ,  and  his  extensive  experience  in  this  line  of  business 
insures  the  success  of  the  new  gun.  He  will  introduce  the 
gun  in  Portland,  Ore.,  in  a  week  or  so. 

The  Gun  Club. 


The  first  shoot  of  the  season  was  that  of  the  Gun  Club  on 
Washington'**  Birthday  at  Oakland  Race  Track.  The  weather 
was  all  that  could  be  desired  for  this  season  of  the  year. 
Bright  and  warm  in  the  morning  but  about  noon  quite  a  stiff' 
breeze  blew  across  the  track  and  after  the  sun  got  low  it  was 
quite  cold.  Murphy  provided  the  birds  and  they  were  a 
splendid  Jot  of  llyers,  but  they  did  not  arrive  on  the  grounds 
until  after  eleven  o'clock,  the  wagon  breaking  down  en 
route.  "  Daddy  "  Rice  trapped,  as  usual,  but  his  retrievers 
were  sadly  missed.  Old  Frank  is  getting  too  old  and  slow 
and  the  spaniel  used  last  year  wandered  oil  recently  and  has 
not,  as  yet,  been  heard  from.  There  were  twenty- three 
shooters  in  the  main  event,  including  Mr.  S.  A.  Tucker,  the 
agent  of  the  justly  popular  Parker  gun.  J>r.  8.  E.  Knowles 
officiated  as  referee  in  the  main  match,  A.  Russell  Crowell  in 
the  pools. 

In  the  main  event  Messrs.  Tubbs.Swett  and  Tucker,  all  30- 
yard  men,  scored  the  highest,  grassing  eleven  each.  Mr. 
Swelt  killed  all  but  three  of  his  eleven  with  the  first  barrel. 
centering  them  well.  Mr.  Tubbs  used  the  second  barrel  quite 
frequently,  I  it  qoite  often  for  safety  only.  Mr.  Tucker  used 
black  powder  in  both  barrels  and  shot  in  very  good  form. 
Messrs.  Eddy,  Golcher,  Babcock  shot  in  their  usual  form, 


killing  ten  each  within  bounds.  Eddy's  seventh  was  killed 
within  bounds  but  dropped  over  the  fence.  His  eleventh 
escaped  with  slight  punishment.  Mr.  Babcock's  were  mostly 
centered  with  the  first  barrel.  His  eighth  and  tenth  escaped. 
Mr.  Golcher  lost  his  first  and  sixth,  the  first  dead  out  of 
bounds.  The  eleventh  fell  to  a  very  pretty  second-barrel 
kill.  Mr.  Cadman  lost  his  fourth,  dead  out  of  bounds,  his 
eleventh  bird  was  hard  bit  with  the  first  barrel,  but  his  first 
escaped  with  but  little,  if  any,  punishment.  His  ninth  and 
tenth  were  killed  by  the  second  barrel  very  neatly. 

Mr.  Webster's  fourth  bird  was  brought  to  grass  with  the 
second  barrel  within  a  few  feet  of  the  dead  line,  Mr.  Webster 
made  a  good  attempt  to  retrieve  by  band  but  failed.  His 
sixth  fell  dead  out  of  bounds  and  the  eleventh  escaped.  He 
used  Walsrode  throughout  the  day  and  it  was  very  apparent 
to  the  spectators  that  it  was  not  only  absolutely  smokeless  but 
the  quickest  of  the  nitros.  So  much  so  that  many  of  the 
shooters  ordered  a  supply  of  these  shells. 

Messrs.  Butler,  Kittle,  Woodward,  Donahoe,  Sprague,  Orr, 
Chapin  and  Oxuard  were  for  some  reason  very  much  out  of 
form  and  did  not  kill  anywhere  near  their  average.  Mr.  But- 
ler's seventh  and  eleventh  were  hard  hit  with  both  barrels. 
His  tenth  was  grassed  with  the  first  barrel,  but  be  failed  to 
use  his  second  and  the  bird  got  up  before  the  dog  reached. 
him.  Mr.  Kittle  killed  the  first  seven  with  the  first  barrel 
and  then  fell  down  badly.  Mr.  Donahoe  made  some  very 
pretty  second  barrel  kills.  Mr.  Chapin's  lost  three  dead  out 
of  bounds.     Mr.  Kilgariff  four  from  the  same  cause. 

During  the  entire  day  Babcock  killed  29  out  of  35  birds 
shot  at.  Orr  27  out  of  36,  Sprague  26  out  of  38,  Hamilton  24 
out  of  35.  Webster  18  out  of  27  and  Tubbs  16  out  of  18.

Coming  Events. 


The  Country  Club. 

A  more  delightful  day  for  pigeon  shooting  could  not  have 
been  chosen  than  Saturday  last,  the  day  of  the  Country 
Club's  first  monthly  shoot  of  the  season.  The  wind  was  very 
light  all  day  and  the  weather  warm  and  pleasant.  The  birds 
were  very  fair,  very  few  refusing  to  fly,  but  were  not  espe- 
cially swift.  Prince  Hadzfeldt  shot  with  the  club  by  invita- 
tion.    Mr.  W.  J.  Golcher  officiated  as  referee. 

The  shooting  of  the  day  was  that  of  F.  W.  Tallant.  In  the 
main  event  he  killed  all  of  his  bird*,  but  the  sixth  dropped 
dead  just  out  of  bounds.  During  the  entire  day  he  killed  89 
out  of  44  birds  shot  at,  two  of  the  'lost  oues  falling  dead  out 
of  bounds,  and  26  were  killed  with  the  first  barrel.  Alex 
Hamilton  also  grassed  eleven. 

During  the  day  Babcock  killed  41  out  of  46  birds  shot  at, 
Tubbs  38  out  of  44,  Webster  34  out  of  48,  Donahoe  19  out  of 
24.  Sprague  25  out  of  36,  Prince  Hadzfeldt  19  out  of  40,  Wor- 
den 18  out  of  40.

A  Queer  Fish. 


He  was  old  and  weather-beateD,  but  there  was  an  expres- 
sion of  supreme  content  upon  his  tanned  face  as  he  sat  od 
on  the  edge  of  the  wharf  and  let  his  legs  dangle  down.  In 
his  mouth  was  a  pipe  that  had  been  sweet  in  the  dear  dead 
long  ago,  and  in  his  right  hand  he  held  a  fish-line.  The  other 
end  was  held  down  upon  the  bottom  of  the  river,  a  long  dis- 
tance from  the  shore. 

"Any  luck,  Captain  ?"  asked  a  young  man  who  was  stroll- 
ing by.  It  is  considered  the  proper  thing  to  call  every  man 
along  the  river  who  is  old  and  weather-beaten  "  coptain." 

"Nope — they  ain't  bitin'  much  to-day." 

"They  don't  bite  much  anyway  these  days,  do  they  ?" 

"  Nope — not  like  they  uster.  'Tuseter  be  so't  I  could  come 
down  here  an1  catch  a  basketful  in  mebbe  an  hour  or  so." 

"That  was  quite  long  ago,  wasn't  it?" 

"Yep,  quite  aspell  ago.     I  'member  one  time — hello!" 

The  old  man  had  given  his  line  a  vicious  jerk  and  was  now 
all  excitement. 

"  Got  a  bite,  captain  ?" 

''  Yep,  and  he's  a  whopper,  too.  I  ain't  quite  sure  whether 
I've  hooked  him.  Yep,  there  he  is.  I  feel  him  wigglin' on 
the  line.  He  is  a  great,  big,  striped  bass."  All  this  was  said 
in  a  sort  of  stage  whisper. 

"  How  do  you  know  what  kind  of  fish  it  is  ?  " 

"How  do  I  know?"  repeated  the  old  man,  as  he  began 
slowly  and  deliberately  to  haul  in  his  line,  and  he  threw 
supreme  pity  for  the  ignorance  implied  by  the  question  into 
his  voice.  "  How  do  I  know  ?  Why,  youDg  man,  I  can  tell 
jes'  what  kind  of  a  fish  'tis  by  the  way  he  bites.  Now,there's 
au  eel,  he  kind  o'  makes  little  bits  o'  pecks  at  your  line,  an' 
then  he  takes  holt  an"  swims  away  with  yer  line  sort  o'  easy 
like.  Then  there's  the  sucker;  he  jes'  sucks  yer  bait,  and  ye 
can't  hardly  feel  bim  pull.  An'  then  there's  the  yellow  perch; 
he  takes  holt  right  away  aud  swims  away  like  a  streak." 

"And  how  does  the  striped  bass  bite?"  interrupted  the 
youDg  man. 

"  Ob,  he  monkeys  around  a  whole  lot,  and  then  takes  holt 
all  of  a  suddent  and  swims  away  down  stream.  I  knowed 
right  away  when  this  fellow  took  holt  he  was  a  striped  bass. 
I  never  make  no  mistake.    I " 

Just  then  the  old  man's  catch  came  to  the  surface.  It  was 
an  old  boot. — Albany  Express. 

The  Fly    Casting   Tournament. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Athletic  Auxiliary,  held  on  Tuesday 
last,  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards  presented  his  report,  and  the  Di- 
rector-General promised  to  provide  a  pond  somewhere  inside 
the  grounds  which  would  measure  about  one  hundred  and 
fifty  feet  feet  long  and  twenty  broad;  also,  to  present  a  tro- 
phy to  the  best  all-around  man  in  the  tournament. 

Our  angler  noticed  at  E.  T.  Allen's  recently  one  of  the 
most  unique  angliug  companions  it  has  been  his  pleasure  to 
see.  It  consists  of  a  six  leaved  book  with  felts  between  the 
celluloid  leaves  for  carrying  mounted  casts  when  trout  fishing. 
This  does  away  with  I  he  annoyance  of  replacing  single  flies 
on  the  stream.  When  a  change  is  necessary  all  that  has  to 
be  done  is  to  change  the  entire,  cast,  which  is  but  the  work  of 
an  instant.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 


EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 


JOSEPH     CAIRN    SIMPSON. 


The  P.  O.  B.  H.  A.  and  the  C.  J.  C. 

It  Still  Lives. — ltI  still  live"  were  the  last  words 
uttered  by  Daniel  Webster,  and  though  his  utterances  will  re- 
main imperishable  as  long  as  the  language  stands,  those  that 
were  last  spoken  have  a  peculiar  significance.  Some  people 
avow  their  belief  that  whatever  has  existed  always  endures 
and  every  pronounced  thought  is  recorded  in  the  big  Book  of 
Life. 

Applied  to  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood  Horse  Association  the 
phrase  is  appropriate.  Appropriate  in  its  literal  sense  as 
notwithstanding  the  assertions  of  the  daily  press  that  it  has 
been  absorbed  by  the  California  Jockey  Club,  that  is  not  so, 
as  it  is  just  as  much  in  beii-g  now  as  at  any  former  period. 

The  case  is  very  easily  explained.  Debts  had  been  incurrred 
beyond  its  capacity  to  pay.  A  very  large  indebtedness,  said 
to  be  nearly  sixty  tbousaad  dollars  and  with  assets  which 
wpu  Id  Dot  be  accepted  as  securities  for  a  small  portion  of  the 
sum.  Improvements  made  on  leased  grounds,  and  that  lease 
liable  to  be  declared  void  with  thirty  days'  notice. 

Whether  those  portions  of  the  improvements,  which  con- 
sist of  new  buildings,  could  be  removed  does  not  make  much 
difference,  old  lumber  at  the  best,  the  real  assets  being  liabil- 
ity of  members. 

Without  entering  into  a  discussion  regarding  the  responsi- 
bilities of  members,  it  is  evident  that  it  is  a  poor  resource  to 
liquidate  a  debt  of  several  hundred  dollars  per  capita,  and 
that  debt  past  due.  Discounting  the  future  with  a  vengeance 
when  expectations  are  based  on  the  receipts  which  are  de- 
pendent on  so  many  contingencies,  any  one  of  which  falling 
adversely  would  close  the  fates  through  which  the  stream 
flowed.  That  it  was  anything  but  a  wise  move  on  the  part  of 
the  officers  of  the  association  was  my  belief  from  the  first, 
was  so  stated  by  me  in  these  columns,  which  brought  a  tor- 
rent of  reproaches  for  so  doing.  It  is  little  satisfaction  that 
..hese  criticisms  are  now  proved  to  have  been  fuliy  warranted; 
it  is  some  relief  to  know  that  the  association  has  not  been 
swamped,  or  incurred  the  odium  of  a  ',  smash-up."  It  is 
more  than  consolotary  to  realize  that  it  still  has  a  future,  and 
it  may  be  a  mission  of  greater  importance  than  that 
which  has  marked  the  first  fifteen  years  of  its  existence. 
Good  work  in  the  past  is  a  guarantee  that 
whatever  the  duties  are  these  will  be  looked  after  with  all 
due  diligence,  and  a  faithful  oversight  of  the  interests  de- 
pending. The  lessons  of  the  past  cannot  fail  to  instruct,  and 
under  similar  conditions  it  is  not  likely  the  same  mistakes 
will  be  made.  I  have  no  desire  to  recall  the  past  for  the 
purpose  of  rinding  fault,  and  when  nothing  is  to  be  gained  by 
recriminations  it  is  obviously  time  lost  in  recounting  charges, 
space,  that  can  be  more  advantageously  employed,  lost.  I  have 
nothiog  to  do  with  the  actions  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  in  granting  terms  to  the  C.  J.  C.  which 
have  brought  about  the  present  state  of  affairs,  and  if  the  re- 
sult of  that  action  has  been  inimical  to  the  interest  of  the  as- 
sociation it  is  too  late  now  to  offer  a  remedy.  The  outlay  has 
been  made,  the  work  done  and  the  bills  unpaid.  Simplv  and 
terselv  stated.  On  Monday  last  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  was  under 
a  big  load  of  debt,  with  some  extremely  doubtful  sources  of 
revenue  to  meet  the  obligations.  Nothing  was  done  at  the 
annual  meeting  to  improve  the  outlook,  nothing  was  possible 
when  there  were  too  few  people  even  to  be  called  a  minority 
who  desired  a  change.  That  overwhelming  majority  in  favor 
of  what  had  been  done  still  remained  and  precluded  the  idea 
that  a  change  was  possible,  though,  in  fact,  the  time  was  past 
when  there  was  any  other  relief  than  prompt  payment  of  the 
obligations.  The  offer  to  pay  these  obligations  for  the  assets 
was  acceptable  to  such  a  large  proportion  of  the  members 
present,  not  counting  proxies,  that  it  was  practically  an  unani- 
mous expression,  and  when  it  was  so  worded  that  it  left  the 
old  organization  intact  it  was  eminently  satisfactory  to  me. 
Without  other  than  a  general  knowledge  of  the  situation  it 
struck  me  that  it  was  accepting  risks  that  few  would  care  to 
run.  The  talk  that  others  were  in  readiness  to  incur  the 
obligation  on  the  part  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.,  and  duplicate 
the  offer  made  by  the  C.  J.  C,  had  nothing  behind  it  but  talk. 
These  people  did  not  materialize  nor  were  they  likely  to. 
The  annual  election  was  the  time  to  make  an  effort  and 
when  that  was  passed  without  an  attempt,  not  even  so  slight 
an  exertion  as  to  be  present,  the  opportunity  was  lost. 

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.  may  have 
good  grounds  for  charges  against  the  C.  J.  C.  They  may  have 
been  cajoled  into  the  belief  that  in  granting  the  club  such 
concessions  as  they  did  they  were  acting  for  the  interests  of 
the  association,  and  were  mistaken.  That  mistake,  whether 
from  lack  of  judgment  or  trusting  to  promiseswhich  were  not 
fulfilled,  was  made  when  the  club  was  granted  the  privileges  ; 
when  the  large  outlay  was  sanctioned,  the  indebtedness  in- 
curred, the  usual  slavery  which  debt  entails  was  bound  to 
follow,  and  that  aggravated  the  trouble.  While  the  retro- 
spect may  be  anything  but  a  pleasant  reminiscence  to  the 
directors,  the  members  at  large  did  not  feel  the  sting  so 
acutely.  Their  knowledge  was  restricted  to  the  situation 
with  very  little  information  regarding  the  cause.  The  sur- 
plus which  was  on  hand  after  the  close  of  the  spring  meeting 
was  absorbed,  and  the  big  debt  incurred  when  the  Fall  meet- 
ing of  1893  commenced.  The  profits  on  forty-eight  days' 
racing,  according  to  the  report  presented  at  the  annual  meet- 
ing of  the  association,  was  only  a  little  more  than  $10,000. 
At  the  meeting  on  Monday  last  the  indebtedness  was  stated 
to  be  $57,000,  and  if  the  spring  meeting  did  as  well  as  that  of 
the  Fall,  and  more  could  not  be  expected,  the  debt  would 
only  be  slightly  reduced.  The  creditors  were  not  willing  to 
wait  until  the  close  of  the  spring  meeting,  as  I  understood  it, 
and  Mr.  Williams  and  Mr.  Spreckels  were  also  peremptory 
in  demanding  that  the  business  be  settled.  Not  very  surpris- 
ing that  under  these  conditions  there  was  only  one  dissenting 
voice  among  the  members  present,  the  proxies,  seventy-three 
of  them,  were  all  voted  aye.  When  that  vote  was  declared 
the  indebtedness  was  expunged,  every  member  granted  exactly 
the  same  privilege  as  would  have  been  enjoyed  were  the  rac- 
ing under  the  management  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.,  the  closed 
stakes  provided  for,  the  only  change  the  directors  without  a 
voice  in  controlling  the  racing  on  the  Bay  District  course.  _ 

A  daily  paper  made  the  offer  that  if  I  would  write  an  obit- 
uary, that  and  the  death  notice  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood 
Hots*  Association  would  bfe  published  free  of  charge.    It 


would  be  with  a  heavy  heart  were  that  duty  required,  and 
with  so  much  indignation  rankling  all  through  my  nervous 
system  that  burning  words  alone  would  be  adequate  to  express 
the  feelings  against  those  who  compassed  its  end.  As  it  still 
lives  and  in  a  position  where  it  can  be  of  the  greatest  service 
in  promoting  the  future  racing  interests  of  this  coast,  every 
well-wisher  of  turf  sports  should  join  in  the  wish  that  obitu- 
aries and  death  notices  in  its  case  may  be  so  far  off  that  cen- 
turies will  mark  its  age  in  place  of  three-quarters  of  a 
score  of  years.  How  the  idea  became  prevalent  is  difficult  to 
understand.  All  thatthe  C.  J.  C.  asked  in  return  for  the  pay- 
ment of  the  debts  and  granting  the  same  privileges  to  the 
members  as  their  own  society  conferred  was  the  transfer  of 
the  lease  of  the  Bay  District  course  and  to  turn  over  the  prop- 
erty belonging  to  the  Association,  excepting  the  records,  and* 
thatthe  organization  should  remain  intact.  The  resolution  as 
first  written  implied  disorganization,  but  it  was  amended  be- 
fore the  vote  was  taken,  and  in  the  amended  form  carried. 
Besides  that  Mr.  Williams  declarsd  as  emphatically  as  he 
could  find  words  to  express,  that  it  was  far  from  his  and  his 
associates'  wishes  to  break  up  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  A.,  and  had 
that  been  the  question  before  the  meeting  I  do  not  believe 
there  would  have  been  one  vote  in  the  affirmative.  The  call 
for  the  meeting  gave  the  consideration  of  the  financial  con- 
dition as  the  object,  and  that  an  offer  would  be  made  of  the 
same  tenor  as  that  presented. 

The  members  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  P.  C.  B. 
H.  A.  have  not  lost  their  offices  or  powers,  with  the  exception 
of  having  control  of  the  Bay  District  course  and  building 
thereon.  Whenever  there  is  a  quorum  present  business  can 
be  transacted  just  as  it  has  been  heretofore,  and  with  the  same 
effect.  It  may  be  that  the  assent  of  the  Board  is  necessary 
to  legalize  the  action  of  the  association  in  transferring  the 
lease  and  property  of  the  Association,  as  all  the  power  is  in 
their  hands,  delegated  to  them  by  the  By-Laws,  and  the  vote 
of  Monday  night  merely  an  intimation  of  the  wishes  of  the 
members  of  the  Association. 

That  the  action  should  be  ratified  by  ihe  governing  body 
is  evident,  and  if  it  has  not  been  done  that  should  be  the 
course  pursued.  The  action  of  the  Board  will  be  necessary 
to  legalize  what  may  hereafter  be  done  with  the  "  rixed 
events"  to  be  decided  in  the  future. 

The  C.  J.  C.  has  no  power  to  enforce  the  conditions,  and  if 
the  Board  of_  Directors  fail  to  act  upon  them  they  are  void. 

As  an  individual  member  of  the  Association,  I  sincerely 
hope  that  the  present  Board  of  Directors  will  attend  to  the 
duties  which  their  position  demands  should  receive  atten- 
tion. 

There  is  not  a  State  in  the  Union  which  has  so  much  in- 
vested in  thoroughbreds  as  California.  While  it  is  true  that 
home  racing  interests  are  small  in  comparison  with  those  of 
the  East,  what  is  done  here  has  an  important  bearing  in  all 
parts  of  the  country.  However  good  the  standing  of  the  men 
who  compose  a  "club,"  when  these  are  restricted  to  the 
number  embraced  In  the  C.  J.  C,  it  cannot  have  the  influ- 
ence or  anything  appreaching  the  influence  that  is  exerted  by 
an  association  of  nearly  two  hundred  members  with  plenty  of 
"representative  men  "  in  the  list.  Were  Washington  Park 
Club  broken  up  there  is  scarcely  a  question  that  racing  would 
be  prohibited  in  Illinois  in  a  very  short  time,  and  even  with 
the  strength  of  the  New  York  associations  there  was  a  flavor 
of  proprietorship  which  threatened  evil  unless  a  body  was  or- 
ganized to  counteract  the  tendency  toward  demoralization. 
Even  with  that  effected  there  is  danger ;  without  it  there  are 
good  reasons  for  the  belief  that  New  York  might  have  been 
drawn  into  the  vortex  which  has  engulfed  New  Jersey  rac- 
ing. 

Therefore  it  behooves  the  directory  of  the  P.  C.  B.  H.  B. 
A.  to  stand  firmly  and  do  all  in  their  power  to  keep  the  asso- 
ciation in  active  life.  It  is  important  that  there  should  be  no 
hiatus,  no  gap  even  tnough  the  break  were  as  short  as  the  ten 
months  which  will  intervene  between  now  and  the  annual 
meeting.  There  are  no  funds  it  is  true,  little  expense  will  be 
necessary  until  the  dues  for  1895  are  available.  Without  a 
dollar  of  debt  as  every  incumbrance  was  provided  for  in  the 
offer  of  the  C.  J.  C,  the  whole  outlay  will  be  for  the  advertis- 
ing of  stakes  and  clerical  work.  With  so  little  work  for  the 
Secretary  to  do  I  have  the  utmost  faith  that  Mr.  Milroy  will 
"scale  down"  his  salary  to  correspond  with  the  labor  and 
await  thejpayment  until  the  dues  for  the  next  year  supply 
the  funds.  Office  rent  will  not  figure  as  I  am  authorized  to 
offer  free  of  charge,  suitable  quarters  for  meetings  of  the 
Board  and  desk  room  for  the  Secretary,  with  all  other  neces-

Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. — If  I  could 
"conjure"  up  any  solid  argument  opposed  to  the  organization 
of  a  home  society  other  than  financial,  it  would  cheerfully  be 
given.  Prone  as  everyone  is  to  look  at  the  side  he  favors 
with  partial  vision,  I  am  more  anxious  to  get  at  the  real  sit- 
uation than  to  bolster  a  pet  project  with  rosy-colored  tints 
when  plain  white  and  black  are  better  adapted  for  a  proper 
understanding  of  the  subject.  Apart  from  doing  the  work' 
and  doing  it  equally  as  well  for  the  sum  it  now  costs,  the  only 
argument  on  the  negative  side  worthy  of  any  consideration  is 
whether  the  American  and  National  will  reciprocate  in 
enforcing  penalties  and  collecting  from  delinquent  debtors. 
That  has  been  presented  in  former  articles,  and  while  I  may 
be  in  error  in  arriving  at  the  conclusion  that  reciprocity  must 
follow  organization,  in  case  that  it  is  withheld  the  situation 
is  nothing  like  so  serious  as  a  few  imagine.  We  protect  this 
side  from  the  invasion  of  a  horde  of  unworthy  parasites  by 
recognizing  the  penalties  inflicted  by  the  Eastern  associations 
when  offenses  against  good  morals  are  the  grounds  for  punish- 
ment. No  one  could  expect  that  collections  would  be  made 
for  parties  which  refused  to  return  the  favor,  and  this  would 
be  to  the  disadvantage  of  the  East.  The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A. 
has  collected  for  Eastern  associations  quite  a  large  sum,  not 
a  dollar  has  come  from  tha*  end  of  the  confederacy. 

There  has  been  another  query  which  is  pertinent,  that  be- 
ing: Suppose  an  association  on  the  Pacific  Coast  refuses  to 
become  a  member  of  this  aod  holds  membership  in  the  Nat- 
tonal,  that  it  orders  suspension  for  non-payment  of  entrance 
money  aod  notifies  the  Secretary  of  the  Pacific  of  its  action  ; 
what  course,  other  than  enforciog  the  collection,  can  be  taken 
wh3n  you  recognize  penalties  inflicted  by  the  members  of  the 
National  ?  With  all  penalties  recognized,  when  notice  was 
received  from  the  Secretary  of  the  National  Association  that 


a  member  bad  suspended  a  person  for  non-payment  of  en- 
trance money  that  would  be  in  force  and  it  would  be  the  duty 
of  the  Secretary  of  the  Pacific  to  notify  its  memhers  aod  en- 
force the  collection.  Let  us  suppose  that  such  a  case  occurred 
at  the  State  Fair,  the  notice  would  have  to  be  sent  to  Hart- 
ford, Connecticut,  await  the  action  of  the  secretary  there  and 
come  back  to  this  country,  and  then  the  opportunity  for  re- 
covery may  be  lost.  An  association  on  this  coast  which  re- 
fused to  become  a  member  of  the  home  institution  would  have 
small  claims  for  assistance  in  collecting  its  debts,  and  still 
severer  penalties  be  imperative  until  the  Hartford  officials 
made  the  announcement.  This  case,  however,  is  outside  of 
hypothetical,  as  there  cannot  possibly  be  such  a  refusal  when 
the  organization  is  sanctioned  by  a  sufficient  number  of  asso- 
ciations as  to  warrant  itssuccess.  Kefusal  could  only  be  based 
on  the  slightest  ground,  would  argue  a  narrow,  contracted 
spirit  which  would  be  anything  but  creditable  to  the  parties 
recalcitrant. 

I  have  no  fears  on  that  score,none  on  any  other  after  it  has 
been  demonstrated  that  there  are  sufficient  fuods  to  carry  out 
the  project.  That  the  organization  will  aid  in  giving  a  new 
impetus  to  light  harness  horses  I  have  not  the  least  doubt. 
The  meeting  of  this  convention,  and  those  which  will  follow, 
will  bring  together  people  who  are  deeply  interested  in  pro- 
moting the  welfare  of  people  engaged  in  breeding  light 
harness  horses  and  those  who  make  a  business  of  handling 
and  training  them.  Whether  it  is  decided  to  have  annual  or 
biennial  conventions  the  gatherings  will  be  of  vast  service. 
It  strikes  me  that  when  the  territory  is  not  too  wide  annual 
meetiugs  will  be  advisable.  This  one  held  in  San  Francisco, 
the  next  at  some  other  point  and  so  alternating  from  place  to 
place  the  interest  in  trotting  and  pacing  affairs  will  be  en- 
hanced in  all  sections.  Should  there  be  conflicting  dates  in 
points  where  it  is  of  vital  importance  that  conflicts  should  be 
avoided  these  can  be  reconciled  by  personal  intercourse,  and 
the  interposition  of  friends  to  both  parties,  \part  from 
making  changes  in  rules  and  the  routine  business  which  will 
come  before  the  convention,  there  are  que;tions  of  weighty 
import  which  can  be  discussed  to  advantage.  Were  it  merely 
an  informal  gathering  of  the  friends  of  light  harness  horses, 
the  occasion  could  be  used  to  forward  all  interests,  and  when 
to  that  is  added  representatives  from  the  associations  actively 
at  work  in  promoting  trottiDg  and  pacing  interests,  pro- 
nounced benefits  must  follow  the  interchange  of  opinions. 

Delegates  to  the  convention  who  arrive  in  San  Francisco 
before  the  evening  trains  of  Wednesday,  March  7th.  will 
facilitate  the  business  by  filing  their  credentials  with  F.  W. 
Kelley,  313  Bosh  street,  Breeder  and  Sportsman  office, 
before  the  hour  fixed  for  the  meeting.  That  as  little  time  be 
spent  in  preliminaries  as  is  compatible  with  getting  the 
meeting  in  working  order,  is  of  some  importance,  and  with 
the  help  which  the  early  filing  of  papers  will  afiord,  not 
many  minutes  will  be  required  to  have  it  in  running  order. 
Scoring  for  a  start  is  tedious  in  other  things  beside  races 
and  a  good  deal  of  waste  can  be  avoided  by  prompt  action.

Mutual  Pools — There  is  little  question  that  a  combina- 
tion of  Auction  and  Mutual  pools  affords  an  opportunity  for 
speculation  on  races  that  is  satisfactory  to  a  large  proportion 
of  speculators.  In  the  early  days  of  racing,  eveD  not  longer 
ago  than  a  few  years  before  the  war,  "out-of-hand  "  betting 
was  the  only  methods  of  wagering,  gentlemen  merely  making 
a  note  of  their  bets,  when  there  was  mutual  acquaintance, 
others  seeking  a  stakeholder  to  be  the  custodian  of  the  funds 
while  the  event  was  in  abeyance.  The  first  pools  sold  were 
termed  "  limited  pools,"  that  meaning  that  a  stated  amount 
should  be  reached  if  the  pool  stood.  The  unlimited  was  a 
decided  improvement  so  far  as  lessening  the  labor  of  the  auc- 
tioneer and  clerks  and  also  a  saving  of  time.  The  restriction 
in  that  was  {withdrawn  and  the  pool  stood  regardless  of  the 
summing  up.  The  mutual  system  is  thus  described  in  the 
last  number  of  the  N.  Y.  Spirit  of  the  Times. 

"  Mr.  Keene's  remarks  on  the  subject  of  betting  indicated 
very  plainly  that  the  Jockey  Club  fully  appreciates  the  im- 
portance of  this  feature  of  turf  reform.  Just  what  changes 
may  be  suggested  to  the  various  associations  will  probably 
not  be  decided  upon  until  the  matter  has  been  given  very 
careful  consideration.  If  the  club  can  originate  apian  by 
which  the  associations  will  be  able  to  secure  satisfactory 
revenues  without  imposing  upon  the  bookmakers  heavy  and 
unbearable  burdens  in  the  way  of  taxes  for  privileges,  the 
matter,  it  would  seem  might  be  easily  adjusted.  Perhaps  the 
English  system  of  charging  an  admission  to  the  betting-ring 
would  enable  the  associations  either  to  entirely  do  away  with 
the  present  system  of  taxing  bookmakers  or  else  reduce  the 
assessments  to  such  an  extent  that  the  layers  of  odds  would 
be  relieved  from  this  heavy  drain  upon  their  resources.  But 
even  when  this  phase  of  the  question  satisfactorily  settled  the 
Jockey  Club  will  need  to  go  still  further  and  make  stringent 
provisions  in  regard  to  the  government  of  the  ring  if  the 
abuses  complained  of  are  to  be  remedied.  Some  of  the  book- 
makers are  known  to  the  public  as  the  owners  of  race  horses, 
but  a  great  many  others  succeed  in  keeping  their  ownership 
and  their  connections  with  various  stables  in  the  background. 
It  is  through  these  channels  that  the  ring  is  enabled  in  a 
large  measure  to  control  the  running  of  horses  in  the  purses 
and  overnight  events  to  such  a  degree  that,  as  Mr.  Keene  said 
"men  go  into  the  belting-ring  not  to  back  their  own  judgment 
but  to  find  how  the  money  goes. 

"  In  speaking  of  this  subject  recently,  a  well-known  racing 
man  suggested  the  adoption  of  the  French  mutuel  system  as 
the  easiest  and  best  solution  of  the  betting  problem.  '  It 
would  be  a  great  step  toward  the  purification  of  the  turf,' 
said  he,  '  if  the  pari-  mutuels  were  adopted.  The  incentive  to 
wrong-doing  would  be  reduced  to  a  minimum.  Under  our 
present  system  trainers,  owners  and  bookmakers  who  are  not 
over  scrupulous  have  every  opportunity  to  reap  dishonest 
gains.  A  trainer  or  owner  can  ask  a  bookmaker  to  lay  up 
against  his  horse  and  so  win  at  least  a  moderate  amount  on  a 
certainty.  This  would  be  impossible  under  the  French 
system.  The  difficulty  in  the  way  of  the  general  introduction 
of  the  French  machines  in  this  country  has  been  the  opposi- 
tion of  the  bookmakers.  The  machines  has  never  had  a  fair 
trial  on  a  large  scale  except  at  Brighton  Beach,  and  there  it 
has  proven  beyond  all  question  that  thev  have  the  capacity 
to  handle  a  large  volume  of  business.  It  is  simply  a  matter 
of  getting  enough  of  them.  The  mutuel  machines  have  now 
been  perfected  until  they  afford  a  well  nigh  perfect  system  of 
betting.  They  establish  legitimate  market  quotations  and 
protect  the  public  in  every  way,  while  the  usual  five  per  cent 
commission  would  undoubtedly  provide  the  associations  with 
revenues  that  would  average  throughout  the  season  quite  as 
much  as  is  now  derived  from  the  assessment  of  bookmakers.' "

OOL.    MAGINNIS'     MULE. 


Observations    of   a   lose    Student     of   Animal 
Psychology. 


Col.  Magionis  sat  id  the  lobby  of  an  uptown  botel  the 
other  afternoon  and  pufled  meditatively  on  his  long  Wheel- 
ing stogy.  Possibly  some  people  do  not  know  what  a  Wheel- 
ing stogy  is.  Well,  it  is  a  long  roll  of  natural  leaf  tobacco, 
about  the  size  of  a  lead  pencil,  with  a  taste  of  the  6ery  here- 
after and  an  odor  like  a  burning  brush  pile.  But  the  Colonel 
never  smokes  any  other  kind;  just  as  the  cigarette  may  be 
regarded  as  "  milk  for  babes"  and  dudes,  he  considers  the 
Wheeling  stogy  as  "  meat  for  strong  men."  In  the  same  way 
he  eschews  all  small  drinks  and  sticks  to  the  rawest  kind  of 
whisky  with  devotion  worthy  of  a  better  cause. 

The  Colonel  is  a  man  of  leisure  in  the  truest  sense  of  the 
term.  He  never  worked  in  his  life,  and  probably  never  will. 
True  he  has  held  sundry  government  sinecures,  but  always 
promptly  resigned  when  some  upstart  superior  in  office  sug- 
gested that  there  were  any  duties  connected  with  his  position. 
In  that  way  he  has  vindidated  his  right  to  be  termed  a  truly 
free  and  independent  citizen.  The  world  always  respects  an 
artist,  and  the  Colonel  has  reduced  doing  nothing  to  a  fine 
art.  His  only  labor  on  earth  is  that  of  increasing  the  inter- 
nal revenue,  and  that  he  does  like  a  true  patriot. 

But  the  Colonel  is  a  philosopher  as  well  as  a  loafer.  He  is 
a  student  of  nature  and  humanity,  and  always  has  some  fresh 
and  original  ideas  on  tap.  He  is  always  making  studies  for 
some  great  work,  which  he  never  produces.  The  fault  is  not 
with  the  studies  ;  they  are  always  fresh  and  interesting,  but 
the  Colonel  never  has  time  to  put  them  down.  Accordingly, 
the  only  way  he  will  ever  produce  a  book  will  be  by  means  of 
a  phonograph,  for  the  Colonel  can  talk  off  a  book  in  a  very 
little  while. 

Sometimes  he  is  communicative;  usually  so,  in  fact,  and 
this  was  one  of  these  occasions.  Accordingly,  when  some  one 
asked  :  "What  are  you  doiDg  now,  colonel  ?"  he  straightened 
up  with  a  pleasant  smile.  Possibly,  he  was  glad  of  this  oppor- 
tunity to  vindicate  his  seeming  idleness  ;  probably  he  merely 
wanted  to  hear  himself  talk — a  very  pleasant  occupation,  as 
many  worthy  folks  seem  to  Sud  it.  At  any  rate  he  braced 
up,  as  aforesaid,  tlicked  the  ashes  off  his  stogy,  and  replied  : 
"  I  am  at  present  engaged  in  study  from  which  I  shall  one 
day  write  a  masterpiece  of  mingled  psychological  and  practi- 
cal information  upon  the  subject  of  mules."  Of  course, 
general  interest  was  at  once  aroused,  and  the  colonel  was 
plied  with  questions,  which,  like  a  true  reconteur,  he  parried 
and  ignored,  thereby  increasing  the  curiosity  of  the  crowd. 

"  I  have  not  yet  decided  whether  I  shall  give  the  work  to 
the  Department  of  Agriculture,  to  be  spread  abroad  for  the 
benefit  of  the  millions,  or  issue  a  limited  edition  de  luxe  for 
students  of  animal  psychology  ;  but  it  will  be  about  the 
mule.  That  noble  animal  has  as  yet  left  only  a  few  hoof- 
marks  on  the  sands  of  time,  and  such  other  bodies  as  came 
within  reach  ;  but  I  am  determined  that  his  qualities  shall 
be  no  longer  buried  in  oblivion,  and  himself  consigned  to  an 
inferior  place  in  the  animal  kingdom.  It  is,  to  some  extent, 
a  labor  of  love,  for  I  owe  this  animal  a  lasting  debt  of  grati- 
tude. In  my  youth  I  was  once  kicked  by  a  mule  on  my 
father's  plantation,  and  in  consequence  thereof  incapacitated 
for  any  kind  of  labor.  Therefore,  it  is  due  to  the  mule  that 
I  am  enabled  to  pursue  my  career  as  a  philosopher  and  a  man 
of  leisure. 

'*I  love  to  watch  the  mule,  and,  were  I  an  artist,  I  would 
devote  my  life  to  a  study  of  his  anatomy.  Even  in  repose, 
with  his  ears  lopped  back,  his  eyes  half-closed  in  dreamy 
meditation,  his  right  foot  slightly  raised  and  gently  poised 
on  the  toe,  he  is  an  object  for  philosophic  contemplation. 
There  is  a  quiet  air  of  subdued,  yet  studious  deviltry  about 
his  whole  classic  frame,  from  the  scarcely  perceptible  twitch- 
ing of  his  mobile  lips  to  the  simultaneous  slapping  of  his 
paint-brush  tail.  Yes,  I  love  to  watch  a  mule.  (Puff)  puff/ 
"  At  firet  glance  there  is  nothing  attractive  about  his 
mahogany-hued  physiognomy.  His  nose  is  scarred  and  weather 
beaten  ;  there  are  also  marks  of  its  having  been  club-beaten  at 
times.  Neither  is  he  plump  and  voluptuous  in  outline,  and 
his  legs,  although  trim,  are  rather  too  knotty  and  muscular  to 
adorn  the  ballet.  Nobody  knows  why  a  mule  never  gets  fat, 
Some  attribute  it  to  the  natural  contrariness  of  the  beast,  but 
after  long  study  I  incline  to  another  belief. 

"  The  mule  will  eat  anything  that  you  don't  want  him  to, 
but  still  there  ia  a  decided  aversion  in  the  best  mule  society 
to  the  luxurious  tendency  toward  embonpoint.  Occasionally 
an  aged  mule  acquires  habits  of  indulgence  resulting  in 
obesity,  but  such  instances  are  few  and  severely  frowned  upon 
by  the  best  mules.  Accordingly,  I  am  inclined  to  think  that 
the  sagacious  animal  recognizes  the  fact  that  such  indul- 
gences would  seriously  impair  his  activity,  and  prevent  him 
from  kicking  the  hostler  with  accustomed  regularity  and  em- 
phasis. Therefore,  in  his  devotion  to  duty  and  in  order  to 
§  reserve  the  greatest  birthright  of  muledom,  he  courageously 
evotes  himself  to  a  life  of  strict  abstemiousness.  Can  Buch 
virtue  beoverlooked  and  unhonored?"  inquired  the  colonel 
with  oratorical  emphasiB. 

"Why,  gentlemen,  suppose  that  in  order  to  maintain  our 
glorious  American  independence,  the  rights  of  free  suffrage, 
pure  ballot,  spoils,  etc.,  together  with  the  periodical  scream- 
ing of  the  American  eagle  and  the  accompanying  soaring  of 
the  campaign  orator,  we  should  be  required  to  give  up  pie 
and  the  inalienable  right  of  every  free-boru  son  of  Columbia 
to  get  drunk  on  New  Year's  and  the  Fourth  of  July.  What  a 
howlingof  disgusted  patriots  would  go  up  all  over  the  land 
and  I  nay  to  you  that  the  old  sbipof  state  would  go  to  pot  be 
fore  we  would  submit  to  such  an  outrage. 

"But  to  return  to  the  mule.  He  is  not  a  thing  of  beauty, 
but  he  is  a  joyful-heaver,  do  up  to  him — from  the  front 
and  look  him  calmly  in  the  eye.  Perchance  as  he  openH  it  to 
return  your  gaze  a  solitary  tear  escapee  and  rolls  gently  down 
his  Roman  nose.  Even  thus  Alexander  wept  for  more  worlds 
to  conquer.  But  in  those  pellucid  brown  depths  can  you  dis- 
cover any  signs  of  guile?  Not  a  guile.  Mark  how  his  long, 
graceful  earn  move  gently  forward  into  an  attitude  of  polite 
attention  and  patient  expectation.  His  other  features,  ex  - 
cep  ing  his  heels,  are  usually  remarkable  for  their  stoic  im- 
mobility; even  his  eye  is  schooled  to  discreet  concealment, 
anO  gives  no  warning  that  this  animated  catapult  is  loaded 
ar  I  liable  to  go  off  at  any  moment. 

'  But  to  see  a  mule  fully  aroused  to  the  spirit  of  the  occa- 
is  to  see  somethii";  indescribably  grand,  impressive,  a 


zoological  cyclone  in  full  action.  He  can  kick  by  note,  six- 
eighths  time,  allegro.  Failing  to  annihilate  his  antagonist 
in  this  manner,  he  will  trample  on  his  toes,  lie  down  on  him, 
butt,  bite,  buck  and  swear  in  the  most  expressive  of  all  ani- 
mal languages.  With  such  natural  advantages,  what  attain- 
ments are  not  possible  for  the  educated  mule? 

"I  once  knew  a  very  useful  mule,"  continued  the  colonel 
after  an  impressive  pause.  "  His  owner  bad  syetematically 
trained  his  natural  intelligence  to  a  very  remarkable  state  of 
efficiency.  For  instance,  when  building  a  picket  fence  his 
master  would  merely  hold  the  picket  in  place  and  start  the 
nail,  when  the  mule,  with  a  brisk,  workman-like  blow  of  his 
right  hind  foot,  would  drive  it  home.  At  dinner  time  the 
mule  would  poke  his  head  into  the  open  window  of  the  din- 
ing room,  and  waving  his  long  ears,  would  keep  all  the  flies 
on  the  table,  at  the  same  time  creating  a  pleasant  breeze  in 
the  apartment. 

"When  the  family  desired  poultry  for  dinner,  they  would 
simply  show  the  mule  a  chicken  wing,  kept  for  the  purpose ; 
and  immediately  the  intelligent  animal  would  betake  himself 
to  the  haunts  of  the  hens  and  hen-husbands.  Singling  out  a 
plump  pullet  or  a  tender  young  cockerel,  he  would  back 
cautiously  up  until  within  range,  and  closing  one  eye  and 
sighting  over  his  shoulder,  he  would  kick  the  fowl's  head  off 
as  neatly  as  it  could  be  decapitated  with  an  ax.  Then  he 
would  carry  the  body  to  the  house  in  his  mouth. 

"  His  master  was  just  training  him  to  blast  rocks  in  a  quar- 
ry, when  his  noble  animal  fell  a  victim  to  disappointed  am- 
bition and  a  broken  heart.  For  several  months  before  his 
death,  Dynamite — for  such  was  his  very  appropriate  sobri- 
quet had  been  observed  out  in  the  pasture  ev6ry  moonlight 
night,  launching  terrific,  long-ranee,  double  barrel  kicks  into 
the  empty  air.  He  was  also  heard  to  give  vent  to  the  most 
passionate  sighs  and  swears,  while  tears  of  anger  and  despair 
trickled  down  his  nose.  He  seemed  to  lose  all  heart  and  pined 
away  to  a  mere  skeleton.  Finally  one  morning  he  was  found 
dead  with  a  No.  9  mule  shoe  buried  in  his  brain." 

Here  the  artful  colonel  paused  with  a  look  of  sad  retro- 
spection in  his  moist  blue  eye.  S>me  might  have  insinuated 
that  he  was  waiting  for  some  one  to  "  bite,"  but  the  colonel 
was  too  much  of  a  gentlemau  to  play  feeble-minded  jokes  on 
his  friend.  Nevertheless,  some  one  asked  for  further  ex- 
planation, to  which  he  replied  : 

"Well,  I  have  always  figured  it  out  that  this  noble  mule, 
unable  to  endure  longer  a  life  of  disappointment  and  shame, 
and  at  same  time  too  proud  to  succumb  to  any  other  power, 
had  kicked  himself  in  the  back  of  the  head  and  died,  as  he 
had  lived,  by  his  heels.  No  certain  cause  could  ever  be  as- 
signed for  his  strange  suicide,  but  his  bereaved  owner  always 
maintained  that  misguided  ambition  had  urged  the  unfortu- 
nate animal  to  kick  the  moon  out  of  its  orbit,  and  failing  in 
this  lofty  attempt,  he  chose  death." 

At  this  point  the  crowd  concluded  that  the  colonel  had 
earned  his  customary  libation,  and  adjourned  in  a  body  to  the

Quite  a  crowd  of  horsemen  and  lovers  of  a  good  thorough- 
bred gathered  at  Bay  District  track  Mo  nday  afternoon  to  s  e 
the  magnificent  collection  of  Australian  thoroughbreds  belong- 
ing to  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez  sold  at  public  auction.  The  bidding 
was  not  very  spirited,  considering  the  splendid  class  of  ani- 
mals offered,and  though  to  most  persons  it  looked  a  good  sale 
Mr.  Lopez  was  much  disappointed  at  the  result.  Idalium, 
the  magnificent  black  brother  to  Sir  Modred  and  Cheviot, 
for  whom  Mr.  Lopez  refused  $10,000  a  year  ago,  brought  but 
$2,600,  while  Crichton,  Candid  and  Trentola,  tried  race 
horses  of  grand  conformation  and  breeding,  did  not  bring 
anything  like  what  they  were  really  worth.  Mr.  Lopez  had 
been  assured  by  two  or  three  breeders  that  Candid  would 
bring  at  least  $5,000,  while  as  for  Crichton  and  Trentola  he 
considers  them  cheap  at  $5,000  apiece,  in  view  of  their  work 
in  public  and  in  private.  Our  people  have  evidently  not 
posted  themselves  on  the  great  racing  and  producing  families 
of  the  Antipodes,  or  breeders  and  race  horse-owners 
would  have  been  at  this  sale  in  force  with  well-filled  pocket- 
books. 

When  it  is  taken  into  consideration  that  three  of  these 
horses  have  been  here  since  the  end  of  1891  and  the  others  since 
October  of  last  year,|we  are  not  surprised  to  hear  from  Mr. 
Lopez  that  the  whole  of  the  proceeds  of  .sale  goes  to  pay  ex- 
penses ;  thus  leaving  him  a  loser  by  the  original  cost  of  them 
and  two  years  loss  of  time. 

Following  wee  the  horses  sold,  together  with  purchasers, 
and  prices.  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels  was  a  heavy  buyer  and  his 
bids  were  bona  fide.

"What  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Did. 


The  Owner  of  Doc  Sperry  "Writes. 

The  following  letter  to  M.  D.  Wisdom  was  printed  in  the 
last  issue  of  the  North  Pacific  Rural  Spirit : 

Dear  Sir* — Yours  of  the  19th  inst.  at  hand.  I  sold  Doc 
Sperry  (pacer),  2:14},  to  Melleo  Griffith  of  San  Francisco  for 
$1,000.  The  horse  will  start  by  steamer  Wednesday  night 
for  California  in  charge  cf  Chas.  Griffith,  son  of  the  pur- 
chaser. Doc  Sperry  was  sired  by  Altamout,  dam  Kitty  Kis- 
ber,  by  Young  Kisber  4623 ;  her  dam  was  Fan,  by  Young 
Trustee,  he  by  Clay  Trustee  Jr.,  out  of  Jennie  Friend,  by 
imp.  Bonnie  Scotland.  Kitty  Kisber's  grandam  was  out  ot 
Kate,  she  sired  by  the  Bear  Horse,  out  of  the  Sovey  mare 
(both  running  bred).  Sperry  had  no  record  until  last  year. 
He  was  put  in  training  on  April  15th  last  year. 

I  have  now  the  dam  of  Sperry  in  foal  to  Malheur,  and  one 
to  foal  in  April  this  year.  I  have  also  a  full  sister  to  "  Doc," 
three  years  old,  and  a  two-year-old  stallion,  full  brother  to 
Doc.  This  colt  has  as  yet  shown  only  trotting  action,  and 
very  fast  at  that.  He  is  a  handsomer  horse  even  than  Doc, 
with  same  color,  but  when  grown  will  be  somewhat  larger. 
The  filly  is  a  bay,  very  nervey  and  promising.  She  has  fine 
trotting  action,  but  could  easily  be  made  to  pace.  I  am  satis- 
fied, to  put  it  mildly,  that  she  would  easily  go*into  the  2:30 
list  this  year  with  proper  handling  Both  are  for  sale.  I 
sold  Doc  very  cheap,  because  of  the  advantages  to  accrue 
from  his  being  in  such  fine  bands,  and  the  opportunities  of 
his  Eastsrn  tour,  being  to  my  interest,  as  the  owner  of  his 
full  brother  and  sister.  I  hardly  need  say  that  I  believe  Doc 
Sperry  is  one  of  the  best  racehorses  in  the  world.  He  will 
make  a  very  low  record  this  year.        J.  W.  Wentworth.

Gentlemen's  Driving  Club. 

This  paper  has  on  several  occasions  referred  to  the  desira- 
bility of  organizing  a  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club,  and  it  is  a 
pleasure  to  state  that  the  suggestion  has  met  with  prompt 
favor,  as  some  fifty  or  sixty  well-known  gentlemen  have  al- 
ready signified  their  wish  to  assist  in  the  formation  of  such 
an  association,  among  them  being  such  men  as  Dr  J  R  Cur- 
now,  Dr  W  D  McDougall,  W  W  Collins,  F  M  Stern,  F  W 
Moore,  Keiser  &  Kock,  T  W  Hobson,  W  B  Hobson,  H  J 
Edwards,  Charles  Lynde,  Thomas  Bethel,  J  W  Rea,  William 
Higgins  and  Messing  &  Son. 

A  meeting  for  the  purpose  of  organization  will  be  held  in 
the  parlors  of  the  Golden  West  Hotel,  opposite  the  ball 
grounds,  on  the  Alameda,  on  Friday  evening  next  at  7:30 
o'clock.  It  is  proposed,  if  possible,  to  arrange  a  speed  pro- 
gramme for  the  afternoon  of  Saturday,  March  10th.  Details 
can  not,  of  course,  be  given  in  advance  of  the  meeting,  but 
the  prevailing  sentiment  seems  to  be  that  none  but  gentlemen 
drivers  shall  be  allowed  to  participate  and  that  the  prizes 
should  be  trophies  rather  than  coin.  Gate  receipts  will  be 
devoted  to  some  charitable  or  pubiic  enterprise,  such  as  the 
Midwinter  Fair  fund  or  the  fund  for  the  benefit  of  the  unem- 
ployed. Horses  with  race  records  will  not  be  allowed  to 
enter.  Professional  horsemen,  while  they  cannot  drive  in 
club  contests,  will  be  eligible  to  membership,  as  will  stock- 
breeders and  all  who  wish  to  advance  the  live-stock  interests 
of  the  country.  C.  F.  Bunch,  who  is  listing  the  names  of 
owners  of  roadsters  and  others  interested,says  that  he  expects 
fully  100  persons  to  be  at  the  meeting  Friday  evening.— San 
Jose  Mercury. 

Lew  Trotter,  with  Du  Bois  Bros,  last  year,  has  aban- 
doned the  sulky  for  an  indefinite  time  on  account  of  ill  health. 
He  will  practice  horse  dentiBtry  in  Kansas  City. 


At  the  Buffalo  Driving  Park  the  other  day  C.  J.  Hamlin 
said  his  success  was  not  due  to  good  luck  but  to  his  keen  per- 
ception for  the  best,  and  he  proved  it  by  saying  that  he  had 
picked  out  untried  representatives  of  four  trotting  families  a 
the  height  of  the  craze  for  the  blood  of  each,  and  had  made 
them  the  greatest  sires  of  each  family.  He  made  Chimes  the 
best  of  the  Electioneers,  Hamlin's  Almont  the  best  of  the 
Almont  family,  Mambrino  King  the  best  of  the  Mambrino 
Patchen  family,  and  Hamlin  Patchen,  the  best  son  of  George 
M.  Patchen,  2:23i. 

He  said  Hamlin  Patchen  was  the  foundation  blood  of 
Village  Farm,  and  that  he  had  a  higher  regard  for  him  than 
for  most  any  other  stallion.  Asked  why,  he  answered  that 
his  sire,  George  M.  Patchen,  was  one  of  the  best  and  fastest 
stallions  that  ever  lived. 

Mr.  Hamlin  then  said  that  he  had  seen  George  M.  Patchem 
trot  a  mile  in  2:17.  It  was  on  the  famous  old  Union  Course 
at  Long  Island,  and  took  place  at  4  o'clock  in  the  morning, 
and  Mr.  Hamlin  and  his  cousin  were  the  only  eye-witnesses 
of  the  mile. 

The  fact  was  kept  a  dead  secret,  as  George  M.  Patchen  was 
then  in  training  for  a  match  race  with  Ethan  Allen,  and  he 
made  the  mile  with  comparative  ease,  finishing  the  last  half, 
as  Mr.  Hamlin  remembers  it,  in  l:04i.  Considering  that  the 
tracks,  sulkies  and  methods  of  training  then  were  crude  in 
comparison  with  those  of  the  present,  it  was  a  most  remarka- 
ble performance,  but  the  most  startling  feature  of  the  per- 
formance is  the  fact  that  it  robs  the  old  king  of  the  turf,  Dex- 
ter, 2:17},  of  some  of  his  honors.  The  world  went  wild  when 
on  Aug.  14,  18H7,  Dexter  lowered  the  world's  record  to  2:17 \ 
on  the  Buffalo  track  but  Mr.  Hamlin  says  George  M.  Pat- 
chen's  mile  in  2:17  took  place  in  1S59,  eight  years  earlier, 
and  although  it  is  only  atrial.it  conclusively  proves  that 
Dexter  was  not  the  fastest  horse  up  to  his  day. 

The  performance,  great  as  it  was,  and  at  such  an  early 
hour  in  the  morning,  impressed  Mr.  Hamlin  with  the  idea 
that  he  would  like  to  own  a  son  of  such  a  wonderful  horse. 
He  bred  May  Anderson  and  Hamlin  Patchen,  who  sired  the 
dams  of  Belle  Hamlin,  2:12$;  Globe,  2:14$;  Justina,2:20 
and  others,  and  the  grand  dam  of  Fantasy,  2:08$. — Buffalo

The  Grand  Moor. 


When  Newlands  went  to  Rose's  place  to  buy  Mabel  A. 
Rose,  and  other  fillies,  he  would  not  take  them  unless  Rose 
would  sell  Grand  Moor.  Rose  wanted  to  put  in  Sultan  and 
keep  Grand  Moor.  In  order  to  make  the  sale  at  last  Rose 
let  Grand  Moor  go.  Newlands  was  a  rough,  harsh  horseman, 
and  The  Grand  Moor  gentle  and  bind  as  a  pet  lamb  when 
Newlands  got  him — would  not  stand  abuse.  Newlands  never 
had  him  trained  but  to  a  breaking  cart,  with  two  men  in  it. 
Pete  Williams,  owner  of  Silver  Bow,  tried  him  a  quarter  in 
30  seconds.  Newlands  sold  hira  to  a  man  in  Humbolt  county, 
where  there  was  only  one  standard-bred  mare.  There  he 
wasted  the  best  years  of  his  life.  When  bought  by  Col. 
Thornton  he  thought  every  man  his  enemy.  After  two  weeks 
of  kind  treatment  he  was  gentle  as  a  kitten.  All  his  produce 
are  pure-gaited,  level-headed  and  fast,  with  opportunity. 
They  have  the  best  of  feet  and  legs.  He  unites  the  blood  of 
two  of  the  greatest  broodmare  families — The  Moor  and 
Mambrino  Patchdn.  He  is  a  uniform  breeder,  stamping  his 
fine  form,  color  and  other  characteristics  upon  his  produce. 

F.  II,  Bdrke  and  Ed  Lafferty  have  leased  the  game  pacer 
Fred  Mason,  2:lli,  for  this  year.  Fred  Mason  is  a  son  of  Bob 
Mason,  2:27^  and  will  be  in  the  2:10  list  this  fall.

The  True  Standard. 


By  Mabk  Field. 


[Written  for  the  Bkeedeb  and  Sportsman.1 

A  studious  perusal  of  the  able,  thought-inspiring  editorial 
•ntitled  "The  Remedy  is  at  Hand,"  published  in  the  Breeder 
ind  Sportsman  of  February  10th,  has  led  me  into  the  train 
>f  reflections  which  produces  this  article. 

In  the  start  I  must  premise,  that  every  one  of  the  preferred 
creeds  of  our  domestic  animals — every  golden  tribe  of  horses, 
tattle,  sheep,  hogs,  birds  and  dogs — has  been  produced,  not 
)V  formulated  rules,  but  by  imperial  minds,  upon  the  free 
>lay  of  whose  fertile  activities  no  sort  of  technical  restraints 
jould  ever  be  imposed 

In  the  splendid  galaxy  of  great,  original  breeders  with 
which  the  brightest  page  of  rural  history  is  illumined,  there 
ire  no  stars  that  shine  with  a  brighter,  steadier  or  more  in- 
structive lustre  than  those  progressive  and  eminently  phil- 
osophic Englishmen  and  Scotchmen  who  brought  to  the 
leight  of  perfection  the  well-recognized  aristocracy  of  the 
aovioe  race,  the  stylish  and  incomparably  beautiful  short- 
horns. These  men  set  for  their  successors  the  true  nonpareil 
pattern.  They  adoped  and  carried  out  a  system  of  inbreeding;, 
whose  incestuous  closeness,  as  it  happened,  was  not  only  the 
wonder,  but  the  alarm  of  the  theoretical  speculators  of  the 
day.  But  the  course  which  led  to  this  incestuousness  was 
not  then  generally  understood,  as  even  to  this  day  it  is  not 
generally  understood.  With  the  Booths  and  the  Collinses,  it 
never  was  the  idea  nor  the  practice  to  inbreed  for  blood,  but 
always,  and  in  every  instance,  for  points.  These  immortal 
cattlemen,  like  the  inimitable  Greek  sculptors  of  the  classic 
age,  persistently  worked  towards  the  realization  of  an  ideal  of 
their  own  creation,  an  ideal  vrhich  neither  their  predecessors 
nor  their  ambitious  confreres  were  aole  to  conceive.  The 
perfect  beef  model  was  ever  in  their  minds  and  constantly  be- 
fore tham.  In  their  endeavors  to  attain  this  model  the  one 
great  rule  from  which  they  never  swerved  was,  "  the  best  cow 
to  the  best  bull,"  utterly  regardless  of  all  relationships  near  or 
remote.  Whether  that  cow  and  that  bull  were  sister  and 
brother,  daughter  and  father,  or  no  akin  at  all,  did  not,  in  any 
case,  cut  the  slightest  figure. 

There  was  no  running  to  herd  book3  to  look  up  long  lines 
of  purple  robed  ancestors  ;  no  delving  into  the  records  of  ex- 
hibitions to  trace  the  families  which  had  scored  the  most 
significant  victories  in  the  show  ring;  no  laborious  searching 
among  champion  herds  to  obiain  full  brothers  and  full  sisters 
of  the  most  renowned  captors  of  first  premiums.  The  star  of 
Bethlehem  upon  which  these  Magian  breeders  continually 
kept  their  eyes,  and  which  led  bim  directly  into  the  Palastine 
where  their  enraptured  vision  was  gladdened  with  the  full 
fruition  of  all  their  hopes,  was  that  faultless  form  which,  out 
of  the  crucial  test  of  the  butcher's  block,  should  come  with 
the  least  dross  and  the  largest  per  cent,  of  solid  gold. 

Had  these  Magians  been  intelligently  followed  by  their 
successors,  the  disastrous  flood  which,  some  years  ago,  over- 
whelmed and  wrecked  so  many  shorthorn  breeders  in  Amer- 
ica, would  never  have  been  known.  But  the  followers  were, 
as  a  rule,  wholly  incapable  of  properly  taking  up  where  their 
anointed  leaders  had  left  off.  They  had  the  ambition,  but 
Dot  the  brains,  to  track  the  road,  broad  as  it  was,  which  had 
been  blazed  through  the  tangled  wilderness  of  uncertainties 
by  the  great  path-finders  who  had  so  grandly  led  the  way. 
Blind  to  everything  except  gilt-edged  blood  strains,  they 
soon  got  lost  in  the  alluring,  but  perplexing  mazes  of  a  false 
fashion.  Losing  sight  of  the  highest  demands  of  the  market, 
they  went  to  breeding  Dukes  to  Duchesses,  Duchesses  to 
Dukes,  and  Dukes  again  to  Duchesses,  never  once  looking  to 
beef,  till  finally,  when  it  came  to  a  plump  "show-down"  of 
the  blocked  carcass  at  the  American  Fat  Show,  they  fre- 
quently had  nothing  but  royally  pedigreed  runts  with  which 
to  back  their  calls  to  a  sight.  There  was,  therefore,  nothing 
remarkable  in  the  fact  that  the  Hereford  men,  the  Galloway 
men,  or  the  Polled  Angus  men,  so  often  held  over  them  when 
the  pot  went  to  the  winning  hand,  for  while  the  shorthorns 
had  been  dwarfed  and  malformed  by  incestuous  inbreeding  on 
blood  lines  alone,  the  blacks  and  the  white  faces  had  been 
molded  into  perfection  by  being  inbred  wholly  with  reference 
to  points.  The  winners  had  the  fashionable  forms,  which 
took  the  money,  while  the  defeated  animals  had  the  fashion- 
able genealogies  which  lost  the  money. 

Now,  it  seems  to  me  that  trotting-horse  breeders  might  find 
in  the  foregoing  sketch  of  the  short-horn  industry  a  most 
pregnant  lesson  for  study,  and  for  their  guidance  out  of  the 
woods  into  whose  dark  and  bewildering  depths  they  have 
been  led  by  the  ignis  faluns  of  a  technical  standard  that  in 
most  of  its  rulings  is  equally  impractical  and  unscientific.  As 
in  attempting  to  produce  a  prize  beef  animal  the  very  first 
thing  is  to  get  the  beef,  so  in  attempting  to  produce  a  prize 
trotter  the  very  first  thing  is  to  get  a  trotting  horse.  Breed 
none  but  the  best  mares.  Look  all  the  time  to  form,  gait, 
speed  and  absolute  constitutional  soundness.  Yon  cannot  in- 
breed too  closely  for  these.  It  never  has  been  done.  It  never 
will  be  done.  But  if  io  some  fashionably-bred  own  brother 
of  even  a  world's  champion,  you  should  see  a  crooked-legged, 
flat-ribbed,  lubber-headed,  ragged-hipped,  curbed  and  splinted 
malformation,  that  has  neither  speed  nor  spirit,  keep  entirely 
away  from  that  beast,  however  well  yon  may  think  his  an- 
cestral lines  will  nick  with  those  of  your  mare  ;  and,  if  you 
can  do  no  better,  take  in  preference  some  unfashionable,  non- 
standard sire  that,  in  preeminent  fulness,  possesses  the 
points  and  qualities  which,  when  it  comes  to  a  "show-down," 
will  enable  you  to  win  on  the  track  and  to  lead  in  the 
market. 

But,  however  much  we  may  advise,  we  waste  time  and 
effort  on  a  man  who  has  not  a  breeder's  head,  with  that  ster- 
ling independence  of  mind  which  is  required  to  steadily 
carry  such  a  head  above  the  deafening  roar  of  the  storm  of 
conflicting  blood  theories,  which,  especially  in  this  land  of 
freedom,  rends  the  air  of  thought,  year  in  and  year  out,  from 
the  Lakes  to  the  Gulf,  and  from  ocean  to  ocean. 

If  the  present  hard  times  should  weed  out  unqualified  breed- 
ers with  worthless  horses,  fashionable  and  unfashionable,  fu- 
ture generations  would  have  reason  to  bless  the  painful  pres- 
sure under  which  we  are  groaning.  In  our  age,  as  in  all  past 
ages,  the  true  breeder  is  the  product  of  nature,  and  not  of 
books  aod  newspapers.  Thoughtful  reading  will  help  him, 
bat  it  cannot  make  him.  Let  us  take  one  crowning  example. 
When  the  founder  of  Palo  Alto  went  about  bis  initial  work 
he  read  all  the  printed  guides,  and  heard  all  the  opinionated 


wiseacres.  Then,  with  views  and  plans  peculiarly  his  own, 
and  utterly  heedless  of  all  theoracular  advocates  of  the  fash- 
ion, he  proceeded  to  select  his  seed  stock.  The  knowing  ones 
were  amazed,  and  the  great  prophets  of  the  Kast  predicted 
his  early  and  complete  failure  in  the  production  of  trotters. 
But,  Bonaparte-like,  he  went  on  with  that  unwavering  self- 
confidence  which  always  marks  a  great  mind  when  thoroughly 
fixed  in  a  pursuit  to  which  nature  has  called  it.  Like  the 
Hero  of  Lodi  and  Austerlitz,  he  revolutionized  the  time- 
honored  tactics  to  which  the  non-progressive  followers  of  tbe 
Fathers  were  indissolubly  wedded.  He  selected  well-built 
trotting  stallions  that  could  trot.  He  chose  mares — some 
trotting- bred,  some  pacing-bred,  some  thoroughbred — who 
had  that  conformation  and  that  quality  which,  in  his  judg- 
ment, were  the  chief  desiderata  in  a  trotting  harem. 

And  what  did  he  do?  Why,  with  ideas  strikingly  original, 
and  with  a  standard  of  his  own,  based  upon  truly  scientific 
principles,  he  shattered  the  reputation  of  the  prophets,  and 
rode  triumphantlv,  the  plumed  knight  of  the  breeding  fra- 
ternity, over  all  the  exactions  of  that  fashionable  standard, 
the  blind  following  of  which  has  given  us  such  a  world  of 
weeds,  and  has  covered  the  tempested  sea  of  the  trotting  horse 
industry  with  the  saddest  wrecks  that  ever  drew  a  pitying 
sigh  from  a  sympathizing  breast. 

Whatever  the  stock,  whatever  the  facilities,  whatever  the 
strength,  soundness  and  directing  force  of  instructive  guides, 
it  will,  nevertheless,  take  breeders  of  this  type  and  calibre  to 
place  the  trotting  interests  of  the  United  States  upon  that  ex- 
alted plain  of  practical  wisdom  which  they  have  never  hith- 
erto known,  but  which  is  certainly  essential  to  their  early  re- 
demption, and  to  their  continued  future  prosperity.  From 
such  breeders  we  may  expect  a  true  standard — astandard  that 
with  intelligent  blood  requirements,  will  unite  a  critical  sys- 
tem of  point  scoring,  and  that  will  thus  give  us  a  horse  and  a 
pedigree  together — a  combination  that  will  impart  significance 
to  the  fashion,  and  halo  the  blood  with  glory  everlasting.

Breeders'    Banquet. 


Out  of  the  Breeders'  banquet  given  last  evening  at  the 
Hotel  Vendome  by  James  W.  Rea  and  R.  D.  Fox,  to  the 
stockmen  of  Santa  Clara  county,  has  epruug  an  organization 
that  bids  fair  'o  become  one  of  the  most  influential  and  bene- 
ficial in  the  county. 

The  spacious  banquet  hall  of  the  Vendome  was  all  aglow 
with  light  as  the  invited  guests  trooped  into  it  last  evening. 
The  decorations  were  beyond  question  the  most  beautiful  of 
any  at  similiar  occasions  this  season.  They  consisted  for  the 
most  part  of  cut  flowers  and  palms,  with  a  centerpiece  of 
roses  in  the  form  of  a  horse.  A  horseshoe  of  La  France  and 
American  Beauty  roses  hung  over  the  doorway.  The  table 
was  arranged  in  the  form  of  a  T,  with  the  Hon.  B  D  Mur- 
phy, Master  of  Ceremonies,  at  the  head.  The  others  present 
were:  Colonel  Philo  Hersey,  A  McDonald,  George  H  Bragg, 
John  D  McKenzie,  H  C  Moore,  Frank  Burke,  T  S  Mont- 
gomery, William  Vioget,  F  Covey,  J  Kennedy,  J  H  Gordon,

reigned. 

The  other  toasts  and  responses  were  as  follows  :  'The  Live 
Stock  Industry,"  William  Buckley;  "The  Thoroughbred," 
J.  Xaglee  Burke;  "The  Trotter,"  H.J.  Agnew ;  "The  Side

The  most  important  result  of  the  meeting  was  then  devel- 
oped in  a  short  speech  from  James  W.  Rea,  who  declared  him- 
self in  favor  of  forming  an  organization  to  be  known  as  the 
Santa.  Clara  Valley  Breeders'  Association.  This  was  heartily 
supported  by  ex-Mayor  Rucker,  who  moved  that  a  committee 
be  appointed  to  organize  the  association,  and  the  motion 
carried. 

The  committee  appointed  consisted  of  William  Boots,  James 
W.  Rea,  J.  Xaglee  Burke  and  Philo  Hersey. 

By  motion  of  Rea  this  committee  was  made  the  directors 
with  Hon.  B.  D.  Murphy  as  President  of  the  association.  The 
remaining  officers  elected  were  Vice-President,  Harry  Ed- 
wards ;  Secretary,  S.  G.  Benson  ;  Treasurer,  A.  Greeninger.

Virtual   End  of  the  Blood   Horse   Association 


The  first  toast,  "  Santa  Clara  Valley  Agricultural  Society," 
was  responded  to  by  Colonel  Philo  Hersey,  the  President,  who 
said  in  part :  "  Gentlemen,  we  have  with  us  this  evening  a 
gentleman  whose  influence  extends  throughout  the  civilized 
world.  I  refer  to  the  gentleman  on  the  left  of  our  worthy 
Presideot,  Mr.  Hart,  of  the  New  York  Herald.  I  would, 
therefore,  gain  the  ear  of  our  Chairman  and  tell  him  to  whis- 
per to  the  gentleman  on  his  left  some  of  the  wonderful  re- 
sources of  this  county.  I  would  have  him  tell  of  the  vast 
mineral  wealth  in  our  midst,  and  of  the  fertile  fields,  more 
productive  than  the  valleys  of  the  Canaan.  I  would  have 
him  tell  of  orchards,  of  rolling  farm  Wads,  of  our  cattle  rais- 
ing, which  places  us  in  a  pre-eminent  position  in  tbe  nation. 
I  would  have  him  tell  of  our  roads — of  a  particular  road 
which  leads  upward  and  upward  to  the  heights  where  is 
found  that  marvel  of  marvels,  the  Lick  Telescope. 

"Then,  too,  it  would  not  be  amiss  to  whisper  something  of 
our  wealth  and  citizenship;  that  here  we  had  two  of  the 
greatest  philanthropists  that  ever  lived.  I  speak  of  the  late 
lamented  Senator  Stanford  and  his  estimable  wife. 

"All  these  things  would  I  have  told  the  gentleman  that  he 
may  go  forth,  and  speaking  through  his  paper,  the  whole 
civilized  world  may  know  aod  stand  in  awe  of  us." 

Continuing,  he  spoke  of  the  part  of  the  Agricultural  Soci- 
ety to  encourage  and  foster  the  variouB  resources  of  tbe 
county.  Mr.  Hart,  the  correspondent  referred  to,  was  then 
called  upon  and  gracefully  thanked  the  speaker  for  his  rec- 
ognition.   He  said  that  though  he  had  been  but  ten  days  in 


About  forty  of  the  200  members  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Blood 
Horse  Association  met  last  Monday  nigbl  io  the  Palace  Ho- 
tel. Among  those  present  were  Thomas  H.  Williams,  Jr., 
Moses  Gunst,  Henry  Asch,  Charles  Kingsley,  George  Rose, 
Thomas  Hurlick,  S.  B.  Whitehead,  Robert  Milroy,  ex-Judge 
F.  Lawlor,  A.  B.  Spreckels.  J.  X.  Burke,  Louis  Lissak,  Jo- 
seph Cairn  Simpson,  C.  M.  Chase,  Charles  Wieland,  John  Mc- 
Cord,  John  Crooks  and  Charles  F.  Hanlon. 

Attorney  Henry  Asch  offered  a  resolution,  carefully  pre- 
pared, to  the  effect  that  Thomas  Williams,  as  President  of 
the  Blood  Horse  Association,  and  Secretary  Milroy  execute  a 
deed  of  conveyance  of  the  leasehold  interests  in  the  grounds, 
and  execute  bills  of  sale  of  buildings,  club-houses  and  stables 
belonging  to  the  Blood  Horse  Association,  and  a  transfer  of 
personal  assets  and  personal  property  on  hand  to  the  Califor- 
nia Jockey  Club.  The  consideration  was  that  the  Jockey 
Clab  assume  the  debt  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association, 
amounting  to  something  like  §50,000. 

Joseph  Cairn  Simpson  objected  to  the  resolution  in  that 
form  and  suggested  an  amendment  which  would  be  more  id 
favor  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association. 

Mr.  Williams,  President  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association 
and  President  of  the  California  Jockey  Club,  stated  that  if 
the  resolution  were  passed  in  its  original  shape  he  would  issue 
tickets  to  members  and  their  families  for  $15  per  annum, 
admitting  them  to  the  grounds  and  clubhouse. 

Attorney  Charles  F.  Hanlon  lodged  a  strong  protest  against 
the  proceedings,  which  many  deemed  illegal.  He  represented 
a  number  of  members,  and  they  were  willing  to  pay  off  the 
indebtedness.  "  The  Blood  Horse  Association  races  have  been 
paying  affairs,"  said  he,  "and  the  profits  ran  high  up  ioto  the 
thousands  last  fall.  The  debts  incurred  were  for  buildings 
still  owned  by  the  association,  which  still  owns  the  lease. 
The  coming  spring  and  fall  meetings  will  more  than  wipe  out 
all  our  indebtedness.  The  good-will  of  the  association  is  very 
valuable.  Only  a  handful  of  members,"  said  Mr.  Hanlon, 
"are  present  to-night.  Only  forty  out  of  two  hundred  are 
here.  Postpone  this  meetiog  and  appoint  a  committee  of  three 
from  the  Jockey  Club  who  are  now  directors  of  the  Blood 
Horse  Association  and  three  from  the  Blood  Horse  who  are 
not  members  of  the  Jockey  Club,  and  let  them  examine 
into  the  financial  condition  of  affairs  and  report  at  the  next 
meeting." 

Here  Mr.  Williams  interrupted  Mr.  Hanlon  and  asked  if 
he  would  pay  the  whole  debt. 

"No,"  said  Mr.  Hanlon,  "you  know  I  am  not  able  to  do 
so,  but  I  will  pay  my  share,  or  will  produce  certain  members 
who  will  take  the  association  and  put  it  out  of  debt  without 
dissolving  it,  and  who  have  as  much  money  as  any  of  those 
who  are  putting  through  this  cut-and-dried  resolution." 

Then  Mr.  Asch  filed  printed  proxies.  Mose  Gun6t  also 
filed  more  printed  proxies  and  called  for  the  resolution,  which 
was  put  without  any  roll-call.  The  motion  was  carried.  Mr. 
Hanlon,  on  behalf  of  himself  and  those  on  whom  he  repre- 
sented, entered  his  dissent. 

There  was  considerable  dissatisfaction  expressed  at  the 
proceedings,  but  the  members  doing  the  kicking  have  only 
themselves  to  blame  for  not  attending  and  by  their  voice  and 
vote  expressing  what  they  felt.

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB  RACES. 


-    -  3 

THIRTY-XIXTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  FEBRUARY   28TH. 

.HE   talent  had   little   if    any  tbe 
worst  of  the   deal  this  grand   day. 
Three  favorites  and  two  long  shots 
\^"  \i  captured   the   five  events,  and   the 

&  ^  racing  was  really  excellent  and  ex- 

citing   enough    for    anyone.      The 
v  Jw     course  was  nearly  as  fast  as  it  could 
~^~*rV\l  be  made,  and  the  weather  was  sim- 

ply superb.      Over  2,000   attended. 
M#  Gladiola  equalled  the    track  record 

for  the  short  six  furlongs — 1:12] — 
and  two  of  the  five-furlong  races  were  run  in  the  cracking 
time  of  1:015. 

Ragner,  the  favorite,  won  the  first  race  very  handily,  lying 
third^to  the  homestretch  and  then  winning  on  with  astonish- 
ing ease.  Guard  swerved  badly  in  the  straight,  or  he  would 
have  made  it  quite  interesting  for  the  .Etna  stable  mare. 
Dolly  McCone  made  her  first  appearance  here  for  nearly 
three  years,  and  ran  a  good  third. 

Fred  Parker,  at  7  to  1.  led  all  tbe  way  in  the  second  race 
and  won  by  two  lengths,  while  Reno,  heavily  played,  ran 
second.  Chartreuse  beat  George  L.  a  nose  for  the  show. 
Chartreuse  was  the  favorite.  Queen  Bee,  a  strongly-supported 
second  choice,  wat  never  in  the  hunt. 

Happy  Day,  a  7  to  5  favorite,  stayed  back  last  until  the 
homestretch  was  reached,  and  then  coming  with  that  resist- 
less rush  of  his,  won  on  the  post  by  3  head  from  Evanatus, 
who  looked  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last  eighty  yards. 

Gladiola,  a  7  to  1  shot,  getting  away  third,  well  on  her 
stride,  was  in  front  in  the  first  thirty  yards,  and  Tas  never 
headed,  winning  by  two  lengths  apparently  easy  in  the  rec- 
ord time,  1:12}.  Alesia,  the  favorite,  ran  a  good,  game  race, 
and  was  second,  Romulus  a  poor  third. 

Silver  Plate,  played  for  a  killing  and  a  favorite  at  2  to  1, 
got  away  slightly  in  front,  and  though  it  looked  as  if  Pasha 
would  win  a  sixteenth  from  home,  he  had  to  run  around  her, 
and  the  turn  toward  the  rails  perhaps  lost  him  the  race.  Sam 
Brown,  considered  to  have  a  great  chance,  was  third.  Flag- 
stag  ran  prominently  to  tbe  homestretch,  then  died  away. 

Irving,  W.  Clancy,  Carr  and  "  Moose  "  Taylor  were  the 
successful  jockeys  to-day,  the  latter  bringing  in  two  winners.

The  first  event  on  the  card,  five  furlongs,  had  seven 
starters.  Ragner  was  favorite  at  odds  of  S  to  5,  Guard  next 
in  demand  at  3  to  1.  Dolly  McCone  was  at  4  to  1,  Fly  7,  the 
others  from  12  to  80  to  1.  To  a  good  start  was  Ragner,  Lon- 
donville, Dolly  McCone,  Guard.  At  the  half  Londonville 
led  Ragner  a  length,  Dolly  McCone  and  Guard  close  up.  Fly 
now  ran  up  rapidly,  and  had  passed  all  her  horses  and  was 
leading  half  a  length  into  the  homestretch,  Londonville  sec- 
ond, a  length  from  Ragner,  who  was  as  far  from  Guard.  Rag- 
ner soon  disposed  of  Fly  and  Londonville  in  the  homestretch, 
and  Guard,  swerving  badly,  came  like  a  Hash.  Ragner  won 
in  hand  by  nearly  two  lengths,  while  Guard  got  the  place,  a 
length  in  front  of  Dolly  McCone.  Londonville  was  a  fair 
fourth.     Time.  l:01j|.

A  seven-furlong  dash  followed,  with  five  starters  of  good 
class.  Happy  Day  was  a  warm  favorite  at  7  to  5.  Zenobia 
was  at  2  to  1,  Evanatus  3,  Ja  Ja  and  Conde  25  to  1  each.  The 
order  to  a  good  start  was  Happy  Day,  Conde,  Zenobia.  At

a  length  from  Happy  Day,  he  a  head  from  Ja  Ja.  At  the 
half  Conde  led  Zenobia  hasf  a  length,  Zenobia  second,  a

up  the  running  not  quite  three  fnrlongs  from  home,  leading 
into  the  homestretch  by  a  length,  Conde  second,  ahead  from 
Evanatus,  who  was  coming  fast,  as  was  Happy  Day  from  tbe 
rear.  It  looked  like  Evanatus'  race  a  sixteenth  from  home, 
but  Happy  Day  came  on  with  that  great  burst  of  speed  of 
his  and  won  on  the  post  by  a  head,  Evanatus  second,  two

Alesia,  at  2  to  I,  was  a  favorite.  Romulus  was  at  2J,  Hyder

To  a  fine  start  the  order  was  Romulus,  Alesia,  Gladiola,  San 
Luis  Rey.  Gladiola  led  by  two  lengths  at  the  half,  Alesia 
second  a  head  from  Romulus,  Flurry  another  head  behind. 
There  was  no  change  worth  mentioning  in  the  run  to  the 
homestretch.  Gladiola  was  not  to  be  headed,  and  won  easily 
by  two  lengths  from  the  whipped-out  Alesia,  who  was  live

at  one  time  she  was  4  to  1.  Sam  Brown  was  backed  down

12  to  1,  the  others  from  20  to  100  to  1.  Silver  Plate,  Flag- 
staff, Sam  Brown  was  the  order  at  the  send-off.  At  the  half 
Silver  Plate  led  by  over  a  length,  Flagstaff  second,  a  length 
from  Sam  Brown.  Silver  Plate  opened  up  another  length  in 
the  nan  to  the  homestretch,  and  Pasha  had  run  up  fourth, 
behind  Flagstaff  and  Sam  Brown.  Silver  Plate  held  on  the 
end,  and  won  by  a  length  from  Pasha,  who  looked  a  winner 
half-way  down  the  straight.  Two  lengths  behind  Pasha.who 
finished  second,  came  Sam  Brown,  and  he  was  two  lengths 
from  Gondola.     Time,  1:02£. 

FORTIETH   DAY — THURSDAY,   MARCH    1. 

Favorites  were  at  a  discount  to-day,  only  one  of  them  suc- 
ceeding in  sticking  his  nose  first  past  the  post — and  thatwai 
in  the  first  race,  too.  In  consequence  of  this  failure  of  the 
favorites  the  bookmakers  had  occasion  to  rub  their  hands  to- 
gether in  the  most  gleeful  manner.  The  track  was  not  as  fast  by 
a  second  as  on  Wednesday,  and  the  weather  was  calculated  to 
make  the  most  talented  feel  dispirited.  The  racing  was  ex- 
cellent, however,  there  being  two  hair-raising,  tobacco- 
swallowing  finishes  during  the  afternoon.  J.  Weber, Taylor, 
Irving,  Sloan  and  H.  Smith  piloted  the  winners  to-day,  and 
Taylor  and  Smith  did  some  clever  work  at  the  finish.  Irving 
rode  Gascon  with  great  judgment,  while  the  wins  of  the 
other  riders  mentioned  were  comparatively  easy. 

Tim  Murphy  and  Midget  raced  off  in  front  in[the  first  race, 
the  latter  leading  nearly  to  the  head  of  the  homestretch  and 
then  dying  away  to  nothing.  Johnny  Weber  was  sitting  still 
on  Murphy  until  about  a  furlong  from  home,  when  he  gave 
the  old  fellow  his  head,  and  he  came  away  and  won  easily  by 
two  lengths  from  Joe  Cotton,  who  beat  Jennie  Lind  a 
length. 

Leveller  gets  beaten  by  a  rather  poor  lot  one  day, 
and  then  comes  ont  and  defeats  the  very .  best  six- 
furlong  horses  at  the  track.  He  is  so  erratic  that 
the  talking  of  the  talent  must  make  the  ears  of  his  control- 
lers tingle  mightily.  He  won  to-day  at  odds  ot  12  to  1  in  a 
desperate  drive  with  another  outsider,  Braw  Scot,  while  the 
favorite,  Middleton,  had  to  be  content  with  fourth  place. 
Tigress,  played  heavily,  got  away  poorly  and  into  a  pocket 
twice.  She  ran  so  well  that  had  Sloan  ridden  her  with  any 
sort  of  judgment  she  would  have  been  very  close  to  the 
money  to-day.  After  the  race  Sloan  was  suspended  pending 
investigation  by  the  Board  of  Stewards.  The  bookmakers' 
sheets  were  called  for. 

Gascon  won  the  mile  handicap  with  astonishing  ease  in 
rather  slow  time,  with  the  Australian  crack,  Stromboli,  sec- 
ond, and  Red  Root  third.  Zobair  looked  a  (winner  all  over 
as  he  swung  into  the  homestretch  leading  by  two  lengths 
Stromboli  got  to  the  front  a  furlong  from  home,  and  it  was. 
supposed  no  horse  could  beat  him  down  the  homestretch,  but 
Gascon  came  on  with  great,  sweeping  strides,  certainly  out- 
running him. 

Trix  is  in  superb  fix  just  now.  Clara  White  got  away  to  a 
flying  start,  and  turned  into  the  homestretch  clear  of  Trix. 
When  he  caught  the  lilly  a  little  less  than  an  eighth  from 
home  she  coughed  up  her  chances  of  winning,  but  did  man- 
age to  finish  second. 

Lodi  won  the  last  race  by  a  nose  from  Jennie  Deane,  the 
pair  lighting  for  supremacy  the  whole  of  the  last  sixteenth  of 
a  mile.     Little, Tough  was  a  fair  Ihird.

The  mile  handicap  had  eleven  starters  of  excellent  quality. 
Imp.  Stromboli  was  a  favorite  at  2.}  to  1.  Gascon  and  Zo- 
bair were  at  4  to  1  each,  Centella  10,  the  others  from  15  to 
100,  the  latter  being  Zaragoza's  price.  To  a  ragged  send-off 
the  order  was  Gascon,  Centella,  Zobair,  Royal  Flush,  Strom- 
boli. At  the  quarter  Centella  led  by  a  length,  Zobair  sec- 
ond, as  far  from  Gascon,  who  led  Francesca  a  head.  At  the 
half  Zobair  was  leading  Francesca  a  head,  Roysl  Flush  third, 
lapped  on  the  pair.  Astheyneared  the  homestretch  Zobair 
opened  out  on  his  field,  leading  into  the  straight  by  two 
lengths,  with  Royal  Flush  second,  a  length  from  Francesca. 
Gascon  and  Stromboli  had  improved  their  positions,  and  a 
furlong  from  home  the  brown  Australian  looked  all  over  a 
winner,  leading  by  half  a  length.  And  he  is  generally  con- 
sidered an  unbeatable  horse  in  the  stretch.  Gascon  came 
with  a  meteoric  burst  however,  getting  up  to  Stromboli  fifty 
yards  from  the  finish,  Gascon  outrunning  him  and  winning 
by  a  length,  Stromboli  second,  as  far  from  Red  Root,  who  beat 
Oakland  a  head  for  the  show.  The  time,  1:43},  was  surpris-

Clara  White  soon  went  to  the  front  and  led  passiog  the  half

Vandalight,  for  some  reason  hard  to  determine,  was  quite  a 
warm  favorite  at  2-to  1  in  the  last  race  of  the  day,  five  and  a

turned  around),  Little  Tough,  Ironheart,  Vandalight  was  tbe 
order  as  the  flag  fell.  At  the  half  Ironheart  was  leading 
Vandalight  a  head,  and  Lodi  was  third,  another  length  away, 
with  Jennie  Deane  at  his  heels.  Vandalight  led  at  the  head 
of  the  homestretch  by  a  head,  Ironheart  second,  half  a  length 
from  Lodi,  he  a  head  in  front  of  Jennie  Deane.  The  last- 
named  pair  drew  out  half-way  down  the  straight,  and  in  a 
ding-dong  finish  Lodi  won  by  a  nose  from  the  Antrim  stable 
filly,  who  was  a  length  from  Little  Tough,  third.  Twaug  was

Good  Advice  to  Jockeys. 


An  interview  with  the  famous  Australian 

jockey  Tom  Hales,published  in  the  Melbourne 

Argus,  would  seem  to  indicate  that  the  style 

of  riding  in  vogue  in  the   Colonies  is  of  the 

hustling  American  sort.     Hales  gives  a  vivid 

description  of  the  difficulties  that  spriog  up 

and  have  to  be  decided  upon  instantly  during  j 

the  progress  of  a  great  race,  such  as  the  Mel- , 

bourne  Cup  :  "  With  a  big  field,  everyone  try- 1 

ing  to  get  home   first,  and   those  out  of  the, 

front  rank  all  looking  for  an  opening,  the  ten-  i 

sion  is  pretty  keen.     For  that  reason  I  often  ; 

think  that  the  absolutely  best  horse  in  the  Cup  i 

only  wins  it  about  once  in  four,  or  perhaps  j 

six  times.     There  are  so  many  chances.    You  i 

may  be  closed  in  from   the  front,  and   like  a  j 

flash  the  chance  comes — a  little  opening  where  j 

tbe  horses  roll  apart — and  like  a  flash  you 

must  decide  whether  you  are  to  take  .it.     It 

may  be  too  far  from  home,  too  early  for  your 

finishing    run.        It      may      mean     going 

from  bad  to  worse,  and   often   when  you  do 

act,  either  going  for  the  opening  or   waiting,  I 

comes  easily  lhe  conviction   that  you  have 

done  the  wrong  thing,  and   you    feel    wild 

enough  to  cut  your  right  hand  off.     If  an  old 

horseman  makes  a  mistake  he  knows  when  and 

where  better  than  any  one  else  can  tell  him.  I 

have  heard  youngsters  give  an  account  of  a 

rice  in  which  they  were  really  half-blind  with 

nervousness    and    excitement.      Bui  a    cool 

jockey  not  onlj    remembers  everything  that 

happens  to  himself,   but  can  tell  you    more 

about  some  of  the  others  than  the  boys  on 

their  backs.    The  Chester  year  may  be  taken 

as  an  illustration  of  the  best  horse  losing  the 

Cap.    The  best  to   my  mind  was  Savaoaka, 

for,  while  Chester  got  a  clear  run,  Savanaka 

had   to  make  about  six  separate  attempts  to 

finish,  and  then  got  second.     He  was  i  little 

wonder." 

Hales  undoubtedly  echoes  the  sentiments 
of  many  a  good  jockey  when  he  speaks  of  the 
undeserved  abuse  to  which  riders  are  often 
subjected  when,  through  no  fault  of  their 
own,  they  have  been  unfortunate  enough  to 
lose.  "  Very  often,"  he  says  "coming  back 
to  scale  beaten  I've  felt  very  sore  when  some 
ODe  has  thrown  a  nasty  remark  at  me — such 
words  as  oniv  men  who  have  lost  their  money 
can  use.  I  have  often  heard  it  said  that  I 
had  won  easily,  but  had  cut  it  a  little  too  tine, 
When  I  was  actually  riding  a  beaten  horse,  on 
whom  I  dared  not  draw  the  wbip.  If  your 
horse  is  beaten  don't  let  him  know  it.  I  re- 
member one  case  in  which  I  rode  Monte  j 
Cristo  for  Mr.  White,  and  we  had  all  backed 
him.  Uralia  was  in  the  same  race — a  little 
nervous  filly.,  always  of  a  quiver  with  excite- 
ment, very  unreliable,  but  fast  in  her  day. 
Half-way  home  I  caught  a  glimpse  of  her, 
saw  that  she  was  going  splendidly,  and  knew 
that  she  would  take  beating;  there  was  no  sur- 
prise about  it,  but  though  1  did  my  best  she 
beat  me.  Some  of  the  on-lookers  hooted — 
they  were  convinced  we  had  our  money  on  the 
filly  and  had  sold  them.  Possibly  they  think 
so  still,  but  our  wages  went  down  with  the 
colt." 

Of  the  use  of  tbe  whip  Hales  says  :  "  The 
whip  loses  marfy  races,  for  it  is  fatal  to  draw 
it  to  a  beaten  horse  any  distance  from  home  ; 
but  most  horses  will  answer  the  first  two 
strokes,  when  giving  no  response  to  the  spur, 
and  a  couple  of  cuts  at  the  right  instant  may 
get  a  beaten  horse  in  front,  when  to  flog  him 
would  only  make  defeat  more  certain.  On  one 
occasion  I  won  a  race  on  Ambition  by  reserv- 
ing the  whip  for  the  last  three  strides.  Epi- 
curean had  him  beaten  at  the  distance,  and 
his  rider  was  looking  round  at  me.  '  Keep  at 
it,  my  boy,  and  I'll  beat  you,'  I  thought,  and 
when  within  a  few  strides  of  tbe  post  I  got 
Ambition  in  front  with  a  sudden  effort  to 
which  the  other  had  no  time  to  reply."  The 
remarks  with  reference  to  the  use  of  the  whip 
are  very  applicable,  for  with  us  the  whip  not 
only  loses  more  races,  but  it  absolutely  ruins 
the  tempers  of  more  horses  than  all  other 
causes  combined.  Not  one  boy  in  a  dozen  can 
safely  be  trusted  to  use  the  whip  judiciously. 
They  become  "  rattled,"  and  in  an  endeavor  to 
ply  the  whip  lose  control  of  their  horses  at 
critical  points.  There  is  hardly  a  doubt  but 
the  vast  majority  of  our  jockeys,  including 
most  of  the  light  weights,  would  accomplish 
f«x  better  results  if  they  were  never  allowed  to 
carry  a  whip,  and  were  compelled  to  ride  with 
hands  and  heels. 


pany  is  otherwise  intact-  W.  Graham  Ross 
assumes  the  position  of  manager,  Horace 
Theobald  retaining  the  office  of  treasurer. 

The  break  means  almost  beyond  a  shadow 
of  doubt  that  the  New  York  turf  world  will 
have  two  marts  established  in  place  of  the 
one.  The  circumstance  is  regrettable  in  that 
Tattersalls  has  seemed  to  be  just  such  an  es- 
tablishment as  was  solely  needed  in  this  city 
at  the  time  of  its  institution.  Mr.  Easton's 
immense  capability  as  an  auctioneer  of  thor- 
oughbred stock  is  too  well-known  for  there  to 
be  any  necessity  to  dwell  upon  it  here.  He 
seemed  the  right  man  in  the  right  place  at 
Tattersalls,  but  the  shareholders  and  he  agreed 
to  disagree  upon  points  which  are  not  the 
business  of  any  one  on  the  outside.  So  far  as 
Mr.  Easton  is  concerned,  he  will  manifest  that 
same  energy  which  has  always  been  his  pre- 
vailing characteristic,  and  turn  it  to  account 
in  some  one  or  other  of  the  profitable  direc- 
tions which  he  says  have  already  been  sug- 
gested to  him. 

The  future  of  Taltersalls  seems  quite  se- 
cure. Thecompany  has  earned  for  itself  the 
position  it  deserved.  Both  as  a  seller  of  thor- 
oughbreds and  trotters  it  has  cut  a  wide 
swath.  The  work  it  has  done  has  been  so 
uniformly  good  and  thorough  that  each  year 
its  list  of  clients  grew  till  all  the  principal 
breeders  of  thoroughbreds  were  included.  The 
main  difficulty  will  be  to  replace  Mr.  Easton 
as  auctioneer,  and  the  company  will  be  lucky 
if  it  can  secure  one  equally  persuasive  and  so 
thoroughly  versed  in  every  detail  of  the  art. 
Dr.  Ross  is  a  comparative  stranger  here,  but 
it  is  not  supposable  that  he  would  have  been 
selected  for  bis  present  position  were  he  not  a 
thoroughly  competent  official.  Mr.  Theobald 
enjoys  the  complete  confidence  of  every 
breeder  or  any  other  business  man  with  whom 
be  has  been  brought  into  contact,  and  the 
rigM  man  to  sell  for  the  company  shcu'd  be 
attainable.  —  Francis  Trevelyau,  in  Daily 
America. 


It  is  told  of  the  late  English  jockey,  Fred 
Archer,  that,  having  trained  down  to  an  ex- 
ceptional weight,  on  the  morning  of  the  race 
for  which  he  had  been  so  heroically  prepared, 
being  terribly  afflicted  with  thirst,  he  drank  a 
cup  of  tea.  The  result  was  that  at  once  his 
weight  increased  six  pounds.  Scientists  ex- 
plained this  by  the  fact  of  the  rapid  absorp- 
tion of  water  by  the  vessels  of  the  skin,  which 
was  excited  lo  such  absorptive  action  by  the 
hot  fluid  taken  into  the  stomach. 

The  Prince  of  Wales  and  Baron  de  Hirsch 
have  secured  first  call  on  the  services  of  lhe 
well-known  jockey  J.  Watts  for  tbe  coming 
season.

The   Future   of  Tattersalls  of  New 
York. 


A  matter  of  great  importance  to  racing  men 
and  breeders,  especially  the  latter,  took  place 
last  week  when  William  Easton  severed  his 
connection  with  Tattersalls  (of  New  York) 
Limited.  The  company  was  naturally  anx- 
ious to  retain  Mr.  Easton's  services  as  auc- 
tioneer, but  as  the  position  would  not  have 
carried  with  it  that  of  managing  director,  he 
declined,  despite  the  handsome  salary  it 
would  have  carried  with  it.  Mr.  Easton,  in 
withdrawing  from  the  company,  is  accom- 
panied by  his  brother,  George  R.  Easton,  and 
R.  6.  Westmore.     The  staff  of  the  old  com-

DIRECT,  2:051-2. 

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Tenn.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08$,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  home,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27*,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  beats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ?

Btrong  back, and  with  wonderfully  muscular  quarters. 

Ills  head  and  neck  are  models  of  symmetry,  his 
shoulders  are  well-placed.and  he  Is  all  over  ••  horse, 
showing  a  graud  cunsiltuilon-a  most  excellent  point 

The  success  of  the  Marquis'  sons  as  sires  In  Australia 
Is  truly  remarkable,  NewmlnBler,  one  ol  them,  being 
admittedly  one  of  the  best  In  the  Colonies.  Loyalists 
sfre-Tbe  "Marquis-  won   the  Doncaster  St  Leger  and 

Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  lMi'2,  and  only  losi  Ihe  Derby 
bvaoead.  He  Whs  by  the  Emperor  of  Sires— .stock- 
well— from  Cinlzelli,  bv  Tnuchsione,  who  was  one  of 
the  greatest  broodmares  lu  English  turf  history,  pro- 
ducing, as  she  did,  The  Marquis,  The  Peer  (sire  of  l>ar- 
ebuayTTowtOn  (sire  of  a  host  of  winners),  and  Mar- 
chioness ( winner  of  The  Oaks,  and  dam  of  the  great 
Fishhook  and  Rose  of  Denmark,  who  have  left  their 
mighty  Impress  on  the  horses  of  Australia.)

the  rich  Caulfleld  Cup  f  1890,  ll«  miles.  In  the  best 
lime  ou  record  (on  a  turf  course),  in  a  very  large  Held. 
Many  people  always  conteud  that  Loyalstone  really 
won  "it.  Vengeance",  who  received  the  verdict,  was  by 
Newmlnsur,  son  ot  The  Marquis. 

Loyalist  comes  of  wonderful  sire  lines,  for  apart 
from"  his  truly  grand  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  he  has 
ou  bis  dam's  side  of  the  house  breeding  unequalled  in 
America,  if  Indeed  in  the  world.  Loyal  Peeress  pro-

WM  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less

i 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satanella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green

high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  fielri  of 
fourteen  good  ones ;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the

nlaces  in  the  famous  Napa  valley  ;  it  is  situated  one  mile  from  Napa  City,  on  the  banks  of  the 
Narja  river  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  style, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth, elegantlyprinted 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book :  "  In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearlliig  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  hands  of  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

EXPER|ENCE 


Will 


Has  taught  many  owners  the  neces- 
sity of  using  something  to  grow  their 
horses  hoofs,  remove  fever  and  sore- 
ness, and  many  use  and  recommend 

Campbell's  Horse  Foot  Remedy 

This  is  made  of  ingredients  natural  for  the  hoof 
and  by  applying  it  the  hoof  becomes  soft  but  tough 
and  elastic.  It  feeds  the  frog  making  it  spongy  and 
tough  so  it  will  stand  pressure.  A  few  applications 
to  the  coronary  band  starts  the  hoof  growing  fast  and 
its  persistent  use  will  cure  any  of  the  common  ail- 
ments, as  the  horse  shoer  will  in  time  trim  off  all 
diseased  parts.  It  is  a  fine  paint  for  the  hoof, 
improves  their  looks  and  unlike  the  many  cheap  oint- 
ments it  soaks  in  so  that  dust  and  dirt  will  not  stick 
to  the  hoof. 

One  trial  is  all  that  is  asked.

FORTY-FIRST   DAT — FRIDAY,   MARCH   2. 

.HE  talent  and  the  men  of  leather 
lungs  and  fat  pocket-books  see- 
sawed for  supremacy  to-day.  At 
the  wind-up  the  pencilers  had  just 
a  shade  the  best  of  it.  The  heavy 
rain  of  last  night  had  made  the 
track  muddy  and  perhaps  four  and 
one-half  seconds  slow  to  the  mile. 
The  strong,  game  horses  were  there- 
fore right  in  their  element.  There 
were  three  most  exciting  finishes, 
and  taken  all  in  all  the  sport  was  of  a  high  order  of  excel- 
lence. Irving,  Carr,  Piggott,  Taylor  and  C.  Weber  piloted 
the  winners  to-day,  and  the  work  of  Irving,  Piggott  and 
Taylor  was  especially  good.  Carr  and  Charley  Weber  rode 
easy  winners. 

Guard  and  Piccolo  had  a  duel  in  the  first  race,  the  former 
outlasting  the  odds-on  favorite  and  winning  by  a  length  in  a 
drive  that  lasted  for  a  sixteenth  of  a  mile.  George  L.  got  the 
show.  Patsy  O'Xeil  was  played  for  a  killing  in  this  race, 
but  finished  absolutely  last.  Piccolo  was  a  1  to  2  shot  at  the 
close,  7  to  10  being  the  best  odds  quoted  about  him.  Guard, 
the  winner,  was  at  2  to  1  most  of  the  time. 

Mollie  R.  won  the  second  race  by  the  comfortable  margin 
of  four  lengths, getting  away  in  front  and  staying  there  most  of 
the  time,though  Gasser  was  in  advance  as  they  swung  into  the 
homestretch.  Coquette,  a  neat-looking  little  daughter  of 
Three  Cheers,  came  up  and  plucked  the  place  from  Gasser. 
Venus,  the  favorite,  got  away  poorly,  and  finished  next  to 
last. 

Chartreuse,  favorite,  won  the  third  event  in  a  terrific  drive 
with  Monarch,  after  the  latter  had  led  into  the  homestretch 
by  two  lengths.  Border  Lassie  got  away  all  but  last  in  this 
field  of  ten,  ran  around  her  horses  and  got  the  show,  and  had 
she  been  as  fortunate  in  getting  away  as  Chartreuse  victory 
would  in  all  likelihood  have  perched  on  the  Spreckels 
banner. 

The  fourth  was  a  race  that  will  be  remembered  for  many 
a  day  by  those  that  witnessed  it.  Hotspur  and  Hy  Dy,  run- 
ning away  from  their  field,  were  lapped  for  nearly  three- 
quarters  of  a  mile,  Hotspur  managing  to  outgame  Hy  Dy  a 
trifle  and  win  by  a  neck.  Esperance,  third,  wa3  twelve  lengths 
back.  Taylor,  on  Hotspur,  got  the  running  start  he  played 
for,  and  the  crowd  hooted  its  disapproval. 

Huntsman  won  the  last  race  with  ease  by  four  lengths, 
while  Special  beat  True  Briton  out  a  nose  for  place  money. 
There  were  more  hot  tips  from  the  stable — and  elsewhere — 
flying  around  in  this  race  than  one  often  seee.  Plunges  were 
made  on  Huntsman,  Special,  True  Briton,  Cbemuck,  Sam 
Brown  and  Bobolink,  leaving  only  one  horse  in  the  race  that 
was  not  heavily  played — Connaught.

The  last-named  was  heavily  played  for  the  show  and  nibbled 
at  to  win.  Guard,  Rosie  P.  and  Piccolo  acted  very  badly  at 
the  post,  delaying  the  start  for  about  twenty  minutes.  When 
the  flag  fell  the  order  was  Piccolo,  Guard,  George  L.,  Rosie

at  8  to  5.  Gasser  was  at  8  to  1,  Coquette  15,  the  others  from 
50  to  75  to  1.  To  a  start  in  which  Mollie  R.  was  well  in  front, 
Coquette  second,  Gasser  third,  they  went  away.  Gasser 
passed  Mollie  R.  nearly  three  furlougs  from  home,  and  led 
Mollie  R.  a  length  into  the  homestretch.  Coquette  third,  two 
lengths  from  Arenus.  In  the  straight  Gasser  shut  up  badly 
and  Mollie  R.  came  on  and  won  easily  by  four  lengths  from

Border  Lassie  8  to  1  each,  the  others  from  12  to  30  to  1.  The 
order  at  the  start  was  Charger,  Chartreuse,  Monarch,  Bor-

Charger  third,  a  length  away,  and  as  far  from  Remus.  Mon- 
arch drew  away  in  the  next  quarter,  swinging  into  the  home- 
stretch first  by  two  lengths,  Chartseuse  second,  three  lengths 
from  Charger,  who  was  a  head  from  Border  Lassie.  In  a 
slashing  good  finish  Chartreuse  landed  a  winner  by  half  a 
length,  Monarch  second,  two  lengths  from  Border  Lassie, 
who  beat  Patricia  a  length.     Time,  1:06.

The  fourth  race,  one  mile,  had  seven  starters,  and  Una

Hotspur  5  to  1  at  the  close,  Folly  7,  Wild  Oats  12,  Esper- 
ance 15,  Huguenot  30  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  the  order  was 
Huguenot,  Folly,  Wild  Oats,  Hotspur.  Old  Hotspur,  off 
flying,  and  the  gelding  Hy  Dy  immediately  drew  away 
from  the  bunch  and  had  the   race  entirely  to  themselves  all 


the  way.  At  the  quarter  Hotspur  led  Hy  Dy  a  trifle  over  a 
length,  at  the  half-pole  half  a  length,  Una  Colorado  third, 
eight  lengths  further  away.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch 
Hy  Dy  had  crawled  up  to  Hotspur's  neck,  and  in  the 
straight  the  pair  ran  head  and  head  up  to  the  last  thirty 
yards,  when  Hotspur  came  in  the  gamest  sort  of  fashion  and 
won  by  a  neck,  Esperance,  twelve  lengths  away,  third.

fWinner  trained  by  owner.] 

The  last  race  of  the  day,  about  sis  furlongs,  was  for  maid- 
ens. Special  was  backed  down  to  2\  to  1  at  the  close,  and 
was  a  slight  favorite  over  Huntsman,  who  was  at  6  to  1  at 
one  time,  3  to  1  at  the  close.  Chemuck  was  plunged  on,  too, 
backed  down  from  S  to  31  to  1.  Imp.  True  Briton  was  at  3  J- 
to  1  also,  Sam  Brown  at  7,  the  others  at  long  odds.  To  a  good 
start  the  order  was  Special,  Connaught,  Huntsman,  Chemuck. 
Huntsman  soon  forged  to  the  fore,  leading  Sam  Brown  a 
length  at  the  half,  lapped  by  Special.  The  further  Hunts- 
man went  the  longer  became  the  daylight  space.  Chemuck 
ran  up  second  as  they  neared  the  final  turn,  and  Sam  Brown 
was  third,  close  up,  two  lengths  from  Special.  Huntsman 
was  not  headed,  and  won  very  easily  indeed  by  four  lengths 
from  Special,  who  came  very  fast  in  the  straight.  True  Brit- 
on came  with  a  meteoric  burst  just  at  the  end,  and  was  beaten 
but  a  nose  by  Special  for  the  piace.  He  could  not  have  lost 
the  place  had  Morris  moved  up  just  a  second  sooner.  The 
time  was  1:18^. 

FORTY-SECOiTD  DAY,  SATURDAY,  MARCH  3. 

Mr.  Ed.  Corrigau  brought  good  luck  along  with  him  on 
the  cars.  He  made  his  reappearance  to  day  nog*  a  stay  of  a 
couple  of  weeks  at  Chicago  aud  Kansas  City,  £*£■  his  horses 
tvon  the  first  two  races  of  the  afternoon.  The  first  one  went 
to  the  Hidalgo-Unit  filly,  a  very  pretty  little  black  half- 
sister  to  Charmion,  whom  she  resembles  considerably  in  con- 
formation. And  the  way  the  good-looking  filly  ran  away  from 
Diggs  and  six  other  youngsters  stamps  her  as  nearly  if  not 
quite  the  equal  of  her  stable  companion,  Kitty  Scott.  Joe 
Murphy's  win  of  the  second  race  of  course  was  not  un- 
expected— in  fact,  he  was  a  favorite  in  the  betting.  The 
course  was  very  heavy  to-day  and  the  weather*  chill  and 
cloudy,  notwithstanding  which  a  crowd  of  over  4,000  was  on 
hand  to  see  the  five  events  run  off.  Two  favorites,  two  sec- 
ond choices  and  a  long  shot  were  first  past  the  post,  making 
it  a  see-saw  between  the  public  and  pencilers.  Leigh  rode 
two  winners,  whi'e  the  other  successful  pilots  were  Taylor, 
Galindo  and  J.  Weber. 

The  Hidalgo — Unit  filly,  backed  down  from  6  to  3  to  1, 
led  almost  from  the  first  stride  in  the  first  race,  beating 
Diggs,  the  odds-on  favorite  (purchased  to  day  by  William 
Timmons  and  running  in  the  -Etna  Stables  colors)  easily 
by  two  lengths,  with  Sea  Spray,  sixth  away,  third. 

Joe  Murphy,  erratic  Joe,  fifth  at  the  head  of  the  home- 
stretch, came  on  and  won  handily,  from  Conde,  who  assumed 
command  in  the  straight.  Londonville  ran  in  the  lead  for 
about  half  a  mile  and  finished  fourth.  Rube  Burrows,  the 
"good  thing,"  was  fifth  at  the  wind-up. 

Oakland,  ''Daggie"  Smith's  reliable  $65  horse,  beat  a  num- 
ber of  celebrities  in  the  mile  and  a  sixteenth  handicap.  He 
laid  fourth  until  reaching  the  homestretch,  when  he  came  on 
and  won  as  he  spleased,  with  Blizzard,  a  40  to  1  shot,  in  the 
place,  and  Ja  Ja  third,  the  latter  just  a  nose  in  advance  of 
Wild  wood.  And  speaking  of  Wildwood,  he  ran  a  grand 
race  today  with  129  pounds  up.  Getting  away  absolutely 
last  in  this  field  of  ten,  he  ran  up  ioto  the  middle  of  the 
bunch  in  the  first  eighth  of  a  mile  and  was  a  good  third  a 
furlong  from  home.  Here  about  fifteen  pounds  of  lead  was 
lost  out  of  his  saddle,  and  Clancy  discovering  it,  eased  up  ou 
the  horse,  which  accounts  for  Blizzard  and  Ja  Ja  beating 
him.     That   he  could   have  beaten   Oakland,  though,  at  the

weights  to-day,  is  very  unlikely,  for  that  horse  simply  romped 
in  a  winner  by  three  lengths.  .Sir  Reel  was  first  away  in  this 
race,  and  though  he  had  but  ninety-three  pounds  up,  could 
tinidh  no  better  than  ninth.  Peril  might  have  opened  such 
a  gap  on  her  opponents  that  they  could  not  have  caught  her, 
hut  Charley  Weber  restrained  the  speedy  but  chicken- 
hearted  mare  somewhat,  and  she  quit  as  soon  as  she  struck 
the  straight  and  was  collared,  finishing  seventh. 

Wild  Oats  and  "Muchacha"  Galindo  are  apparently  a 
hard  combination  to  beat  in  a  steeplechase.  The  unbeaten 
descendant  of  the  Aztecs  rode  the  old  son  of  Wildidle  with 
rare  good  judgment,  lying  third  until  going  up  the  hill  to 
the  regular  track,  his  horse  outgamingTemplemore  and  win- 
ning handily  by  a  trine  over  a  length.  Longwell  finished 
third.  Ked  Cloud  collapsed  at  the  far  center  field  jump,  up 
to  which  point  he  was  the  leader. 

tirandee,  the  favorite,  seventh  away,  soon  ran  up  second, 
behind  the  flying  Pasha,  who  was  ridden  by  a  stable  boy 
named  Carrieger,  and  when  Pasha  had  run  himself  out 
Grandee  came  up  and  won  cleverly  by  a  length.  Twang  was 
third,  two  lengths  behind  Pasha.  Nellie  Van  ran  well  until 
nearing  the  homestretch,  when  she  gave  up  and  finished 
ninth.    She  was  played  for  a  killing.

Diggs  was  an  odds-on  favorite,  opening  at  even  money, 
closing  at  2  to  5,  so  heavy  was  the  play  on  him.  The  Hidalgo- 
Unit  filly,  who  made  her  first  public  appearance  in  the  race,

and  by  the  same  distance  into  the  homestretch.  Sea  Spray

Joe  Murphy  was  at  all  times  a  favorite  in  the  second  race, 
opening  at  even  money,  closing  at  7  to  5.  Conde  was  at  3^  to 
1,  and  Rube. Burrows,  played  for  thousands,  was  at  a  like 
figure.  Ravine  was  at  15  to  1,  Londonville  12,  Monowai  15,

set  the  pace,  the  order  at  the  half-pole  being  Londonville, 
Conde,  Green  Hock,  Joe  Murphy,  half  lengths  apart.  Lon- 
donville made  a  slight  gain,  and  piloted  his  field  into  the 
straight,  *here  he  was  leading  Conde  a  length,  Green  Hock 
third,  another  length  away,  and  lapped  by  Joe  Murphy. 
Conde  soon  had  Londonville  beaten,  and  Joe  Murphy  was 
a  bang-up  third  behind  Londonville,  a  furlong  from  home. 
The  favorite,  with  great  strides,  easily  disposed  of  his  com-

This  was  a  great  betting  affair.  Wild  wood  opened  favorite 
at  8  to  5,  receded  to  3  to  1,  bis  closing  price  being  2\  to  1. 
There  was  a  heavy  play  on  Dolly  McCone,  at  4  to  1  and  on 
Oakland  at  4*  and  5  to  1,  while  Tyro's  chances  were  fancied 
by  not  a  few.  Blizzard  was  at  40  to  1  at  tbe  close,  15  to  1

anything  from  12  to  25  to  1,  could  be  had.  The  order  at  the 
start — good  for  all  but  Wildwood — was  Sir  Reel,  Blizzard, 
Viceroy,  Royal  Flush,  Peril.  The  last  named  was  in  front 
ere  the  judge's  stand  was  passed,  and  running  very  fast,  led

I  Winner  trained  by  owner.l 


Red  Cloud  was  a  slight  favorite  in  the  short  course  steeple- 
chase over  Wild  Oats  and  Guadaloupe.  Longwell  was  at 
4  to  1,  Templemore  S  to  1.  Red  Cloud,  last  away,  was  6rst 
by  a  head  over  the  first  jump,  Templemore,  Wild  Oats  and 
Guadaloupe  being  very  close  together.  Over  the  far  center 
field  jump  Red  Cloud  led  by  six  lengths  and  at  the  water  by 
ten,  Templemore  second,  half  a  length  from  Wild  Oats. 
Going  down  the  hill  to  the  far  center  field  jump  Temple- 
more and  Wild  Oats  closed  fast  on  Red  Cloud,  and  the  latter 
not  jumping  cleanly,  Templemore  was  first  in  a  twinkling, 
with  Wild  Oats  at  his  heels.  This  was  the  order  of  things 
into  the  regular  track,  Wild  Oats  closing  up  fast  and  leading 
to  the  last  jump  by  a  neck,  but  striking  the  top  of  the  hurdle 
Templemore  assumed  command  for  a  moment,  looking  all 
over  a  winner.  Game  old  Wild  Oats  came  again  like  a  hero, 
however,  and,  well-ridden  by  Galindo,  won  amid  cheers  by  a 
little  over  a  length,  Templemore  second,  six  lengths  from 
Longwell.  Red  Cloud  was  fourth,  about  forty  lengths  further 
away.     The  time  was  3:32A.

Grandee  was  a  6  to  5  favorite  for  the  last  race,  Nellie  Van 
a  strong  second  choice  at  24  to  1.  Red  Rose  was  at  5  to  1 
Pasha  12,  the  others  from  10  to  200  to  1.  The  order  at  the 
start  was  Happy  Band,  Currency,  Rosalie.  Pasha  soon  went 
to  the  front,  leading  Grandee  a  length  at  the  half,  Nellie 
Van  third.  Three  furlongs  from  home  Pasha  was  four 
lengths  to  the  good  and  into  the  homestretch  six.  An 
eighth  from  home  he  commenced  to  quit,  and  the  stable 
boy,  Carrieger,  went  to  the  whip.  Gradually  Grandee  moved 
up,  and,  splendidly  ridden  by  Johnny  Weber,  won  handily 
by  a  length,  Pasha  second,  two  lengths  from  Twang,  who 
was  third,  four  lengths  in  front  of  Currency.  Time,  1:13>. 
With  a  high-class  jockey  up  Pasha  would  in  all  probability 
have  won  to-day. 

FORTY-THIRD   DAY — TI7ESDAY,  MARCH    6. 

A  more  beautiful  day  than  this  could  not  be  wished  for 
by  the  veriest  growler  in  this  "  neck  of  the  woods."  The 
sun  shone  bright  from  a  sky  of  Venitian  blue  and  thawed 
the  good  nature  of  our  local  race-goers,  of  which  there  must 
have  been  fully  2,500  in  attendance  to-day.  The  track 
was  mushy  from  recent  rains,  and  the  time  made  was 
nit  at  all  bad.  It  was  a  very  close  thing  between  the  pencil- 
ers/%nd  the  talent.  Three  favorites,  a  second  choice  and  a  6 
to  1  chance  got  the  coin.  However,  had  there  not  been  sev- 
eral "  good  things "  that  failed  to  come  to  the  front,  the 
bookies  would  have  fared  badly. 

Pasha,  with  the  stable  boy,  Carrieger,  up,  was  a  lukewarm 
sort  of  favorite  in  the  opening  race,  Twang  a  strong  second 
choice.  Joe  Hooker  Jr.  ran  in  the  lead  for  nearly  a  quar- 
ter of  a  mile,  when  Pasha  took  command  of  affairs  and  was 
not  thereafter  bothered,  winning  easily  by  three  lengths  from 
Twang,  who  made  up  a  lot  of  ground  in  the  straight  and 
beat  Currency  in  a  hard  drive  by  a  head  for  place. 

Norlee,  with  but  76  pounds  up,  won  the  second  race  in  a 
canter  by  three  lengths,  coming  to  the  front  about  three  fur- 
longs from  home.  North  came  like  a  flash  at  the  end,  and 
just  landed  the  place  money  by  a  nose,  Fred  Parker's  jockey 
evidently  believing  he  held  second  money  safe.  Normandie 
was  never  seriously  in  the  hunt.  The  time,  1:04,  and  made 
easily,  was  certainly  excellent. 

Grandee  opened  up  quite  a  big  gap  on  his  opponents  in 
the  third  race,  but  Thornhill  got  up  to  him  on  the  final  turn, 
and  won  very  handily  at  the  end  hy  a  length.  Joe  Murphy, 
the  favorite,  was  coming  very  strong  at  the  finish,  and  had 
Leigh  made  his  move  on  the  Corrigan  colt  fifty  yards  back 
of  where  he  did  would  in  all  likelihood  have  landed  the 
money.  Charley  Weber  rode  a  beautiful  race  on  Thornhill, 
however. 

Midget  put  half  a  dozen  lengths  of  daylight  between  her- 
self and  her  rivals  in  the  fourth  event,  but  commenced  com- 
ing back  to  Georgetown  making  the  turn  into  the  home- 
stretch. Georgetown  caught  her  less  than  a  furlong  from 
home  and  won  by  half  a  dozen  lengths,  with  Zaragoza  sec- 
ond, a  neck  in  front  of  the  fast-fading-away  Midget.  Bill 
Howard  finished  last  and  greatly  disappointed  his  many  ad- 
mirers. 

George  L.  led  all  the  way  in  the  last  race  of  the  day,  and 
the  Kentucky  stable  filly,  Seville,  got  the  place,coming  fastest 
at  the  wind-up.  Had  she  been  kept  going  a  little  straighter  in 
tbe  homestretch  Seville  might  have  won  the  money.  The 
longest  shot  in  tbe  race,  Nutwood,  got  the  show,  a  length 
behind  Seville  and  coming  very  strong  also.  Braw  Scot,  the 
favorite,  was  not  prominent  at  any  time  on  (he  journey,  and 
the  same  could  be  said  of  "the  good  thing,"  Dolly  McCone.

[Winner  trained  by  owner.l 

The  last  race  of  the  day,  five  furlongs,  had  Braw  Scot  for  a 
hot  favorite,  he  being  backed  down  from  9  to  5  to  7  to  5. 
Dolly  McCone  was  a  well-played  second  choice  at  24  to  1. 
George  L.  and  Viceroy  were  at  6  to  1  each,  Monowai  S,  Se- 
ville 12,  Monarch  20  and  Nutwood  30  to  1.  George  L.,  Se- 
ville, Viceroy  was  the  order  at  the  start.  George  L.  sailed 
away  at  a  fast  clip,  opening  up  a  gap  of  two  lengths,  Nut- 
wood, Seville  and  Viceroy  being  heads  apart.  George  L.  held 
his  advantage  to  the  homestretch,  though  Seville  got  within 
a  length  of  him  about  a  furlong  from  home.  Tuberville  kept 
George  L.  going,  and  though  Seville  and  Nutwood  were  gain- 
ing fast  at  the  end,  won  handily  by  a  length  from  Seville.  A 
length  behind  Seville  came  Nutwood,  third.    Time,  1:05. 


A  New  Era  in  Trotting -Horse  Breeding, 

The  progress  of  events  in  breeding  and  training  the  har- 
ness horse  marks  an  epoch  in  the  business  which  should  be 
closely  studied  by  breeders.  All  the  conditions  which  sur- 
round the  industry  have  experienced  a  radical  change  within 
the  past  three  years.  Old  methods,  maxims  and  traditions  are 
no  longer  in  order,  and  the  wise  breeder  will  consult  his  own 
interests  by  adapting  himself  and  his  operations  to  the  new 
era  which  has  dawned.  Five  years  ago  when  an  animal  trac- 
ing to  the  fashionable  trotting  families  was  offered  at  auction, 
buyers  from  near  and  far  jostled  each  other  in  a  great  scram- 
ble to  bid  on  the  supposed  prize.  Now  it  is  speed  that  rules 
the  buyers'  minds  and  governs  their  actions.  Breeding  alone 
is  no  longer  ]lhe  test  of  value.  Speed  controls  the  market. 
When  a  trotter  with  \  fast  record,  or  one  that  Ishows  great 
bursts  of  speed  in  the  ring  or  oh  the  road  is  offered,  buyers 
crowd  about  him  and  bid  briskly  for  his  possession.  But 
without  either  or  all  of  these  qualifications,  coupled  with 
soundness  and  quality,  the  bluest  blood  in  the  register  will  not 
sell  for  more  than  common  price.  The  lesson  is  plain — the 
speed's  the  thing.  As  staled  btfore  in  this  journal,  buyers 
nowadays  want  ready-made  racehorses,  whether  the  animal 
they  are  purchasing  is  a  yearling  or  a  four-year-old,  and, 
henceforth,  profit  will  wait  on  development,  which  must  be 
brought  about  by  "up-to-date"  methods.  The  education  of 
fast,  young  horses  should  not  be  intrusted  to  inexperienced 
stable  men  or  outclassed  veterans  stained  with  the  dye  of  ob- 
solete practices  and  musty  with  the  odor  of  bygone  days. 
Training  to  be  successful  must  be  carried  on  by  experts  in  the 
art,  who  keep  fully  abreast  of  the  times,  and  can  be  depended 
upon  to  show  the  full  force  and  effect  of  their  knowledge  in 
the  improvement  made  by  the  horses  placed  in  their  charge.

The  Butte  and  Anaconda  Meetings. 

Programmes  for  the  Butte  and  Anaconda  race  meetings, 
which  commence  in  Anaconda  on  July  12  and  end  in  Butte 
on  August  23,  giving  thirty-five  days  of  racing,  fifteen  in  An- 
aconda and  twenty  in  Butte,  have  been  published  in  the  I 
"Anaconda  Standard."  The  programmes  show  nearly  $60,- 
b00  in  purses,  $34,000  in  Butte  and  over  $23,000  in  Anacon-  i 
da.  In  addition  to  the  purses  oflered  $10,000  will  be  reserved 
for  special  races  of  all  kinds.  The  programme  for  this  year 
leaves  out  the  Montana  bred  stakes,  for  the  reason  that  they  j 
have  always  been  walkovers.  The  directors,  however,  do  not 
wish  it  understood  that  Montana-bred  colts  will  not  be  given 
every  opportunity  to  show  what  they  can  do.  In  previous 
years  the  Montana-bred  stakes  have  almost  universally  re- 
sulted in  no  contests  and  in  financial  loss  to  both  the  associa- 
tions and  the  breeders.  It  is  this  condition  of  things  that  the 
directors  are  guarding  against  this  year  by  doing  away  with 
the  style  of  races  in  question,  and  setting  aside  a  reserve  fund 
of  $10,000.  Instead  of  compelling  the  breeders  of  Montana 
to  put  up  money  in  advance  for  their  colts,  this  year  the  di- 
rectors assure  them  that  if  they  will  bring  their  colts  to  Butte 
and  Anaconda  they  will  get  good  races  for  them,  with  entire- 
ly satisfactory  purses.  No  guarantee  is  necessary  from  either 
the  Butte  or  Anaconda  associations  in  this  regard,  as  their 
reputation  for  fair  dealing  is  well  known  among  horsemen  all 
over  the  country.  It  might  not  be  out  of  place  to  state  in  this 
connection  that  there  has  never  been  a  meeting  either  in 
Butte  or  Anaconda  at  which  more  purses  were  notgiven  than 
were  advertised.  The  $10,000  reserve  fund  will  also  be  used 
in  giving  purses  for  special  races,  in  which  horses  that  en- 
tirely outclass  others  or  are  outclassed  themselves  will  be  given 
a  run.  These  special  races  will  all  be  horseraces  of  the  high- 
est order,  as  they  will  not  be  arranged  except  in  cases  where 
there  are  three  or  four  horses  that  are  very  evenly  matched, 
but  who  for  satisfactory  reasons  cannot  participate  in  the 
regular  programme.  There  will  probably  be  a  great  many  of 
these  special  races  and  the  reserve  fund  will  be  heavily  drawn 
npon.  The  fact  that  there  are  about  100  races  on  this  year's 
Batte  and  Anaconda  programmes  and  tbat  all  runs  of  less 
than  half  a  mile  have  been  done  away  with  will  cause  a  great 
deal  of  satisfaction  among  the  lovers  of  horseracing. 

Work  will  be  commenced  on  the  tracks  in  Butte  and  Ana- 
conda as  soon  as  the  frost  is  out  of  the  ground  and  from  six 
to  eight  inches  of  soil  will  be  added  to  them.  As  is  well 
known,  the  tracks  are  the  full  regulation  mile  and  are  among 
the  best  in  the  country.  The  stabling  quarters,  which  are 
now  in  first-class  shape,  will  be  renovated  and  given  a  few 
trifling  but  necessary  repairs. 

The  betting  is  always  an  important  feature  on  the  Mon- 
tana tracks.  Last  year,  in  spite  of  the  financial  depression 
and  with  only  twenty-two  days  racing  in  Butte  and  Anaconda, 
the  betting  in  the  auctions  and  mutuels  alone  amounted  to 
about  $800,000,  and  over  half  of  this  went  through  the 
mutuel  boxes.  Montana  justly  claims  to  be  the  best  mutuel 
betting  country  on  the  continent,  and  it  is  not  going  too  far 
to  say  that  in  comparison  to  their  size,  Butte  and  Anaconda 
lead  all  the  other  cities  of  the  country  in  betting  on  horse 
races.  With  35  days'  racing  and  a  good  season  it  would  not 
be  surprising  if  the  total  betting  in  this  city  and  Anaconda 
this  year  would  reach  $2,000,000.  Arrangements  will  be 
made  with  all  the  railroads  running  into  Montana,  the  Union 
Pacific,  Northern  Pacific  and  Great  Northern,  whereby 
horses  will  be  brought  here  and  returned  at  a  one-way  rate 
for  the  round  trip.  For  example,  horses  coming  from  south- 
ern points  cao  go  through  to  Great  Falls  and  return  to  Ana- 
conda and  Butte  without  additional  expense.  After  the 
horses  reach  Montana  the  distances  between  the  cities  giving 
race  meetings  are  very  short. 

Thomas  Lavell,  who  would  rather  see  Butte  have  a  good 
race  meeting  every  year  than  own  all  of  the  gold  mines  in 
Basin,  has  been  re-elected  president  of  the_  West  Side  Bacing 
association,  a  tribute  that  was  justly  due  him.  A.  C.  Holmes, 
who  gave  such  unqualified  satisfaction  last  year  as  secretary 
and  treasurer,  to  the  horsemen  and  the  general  public, 
has  been  re-elected  to  that  dual  position.  Mr.  Holmes  is  an 
indefatigable  worker  for  honest  horse  racing.  The  full  list 
of  officers  of  the  West  Side  Racing  association  is  as  follows: 
President,  Thomas  Lavell ;  vice  president,  M.  J.  Connell ; 
secretary  and  treasurer,  A.  C.  Holmes;  assistant  secretary,  D. 
P.  O'Conner;  directors,  Thomas  Lavell,  M.  J.  Connell,  A. 
C.  Holmes,  Will.  D.  Thorton,  Marcus  Daly.  Mr.  Thornton, 
is  a  new  man  on  the  board  of  directors,  and  he  will  un- 
doubtedly prove  an  energetic  and  influential  member. 

The  dates  for  all  of  the  cities  in  the  Montana  circuit  have 
been  made  up  as  follows: 

Great  Falls— July  2  to  7. 

Anaconda — July  12  to  2S. 

Butte — August  1  to  23. 

Helena — August  25  to  September  1. 

Bozeman — September  3  to  8. 

Billings— September  18  to  21. 

This  gives  nearly  75  days  of  racing,  with  purses  aggrega- 
ting^ 00,000. — Anaconda  Standard. 

The    Horseman    Stakes. 


there  have  been  four-year-old  stakes  of  equal  or  greater 
value,  but  they  cannot  be  recalled,  and  this  is  certainly  the 
banner  stake  ever  fought  for  in  this  State  or  section  of  the 
country. 

In  the  twenty-nine  remaining  nominations  are  the  bright 
lights  of  the  four-year-old  division,  and  that  they  will  battle 
long  and  steadfastly  for  the  bundles  of  currency  which  must 
go  to  the  .vinner,  goes  without  saying.  The  stake  is  divided 
in  such  a  manner  that  the  breeder  receives  a  certain  amount, 
and  the  owner  of  the  sire  of  the  winner  is  not  forgotten. 
Those  remaining  in  and  making  the  January  payment,

The  Fleetwood  Entries. 


A  Vision  of  the  Cliff  House  Road— Drivers  and 
Horses  of  Years  Ago. 


When  the  bell  taps  the  first  time  at  the  new  track  of  the 
Detroit  Driving  Club  and  calls  back  the  horses  scoring  down 
for  the  opening  heat,  a  trotting  meeting  will  have  begun  in 
which  ooe  of  the  richest  stakes  in  the  history  of  the  trotting 
tarf  is  to  be  decided.  This  is  the  Horsemans,  guaranteed 
stake  of  $1*2,500  for  four-year-olds,  the  present  vacation  of 
which  is  $19,155.  This  stake  was  started  when  the  young- 
sters were  just  old  enough  to  be  broken,  and  the  responses 
came  from  the  cold  hills  of  Maine,  where  Kelson  reigns 
supreme,  from  the  pleasant  valleys  of  the  Pacific  Slope, 
where  yearling  and  two-year-old  prodigies  first  saw  the  light 
of  day,  from  the  intervening  Central  States,  where  the  steady 
campaigners  of  more  mature  years  did  their  baby  trotting, 
and  even  in  the  South  where  the  trotting  industry  is  indeed 
one  of  a  later  day.  The  original  lut  of  nominations  included 
532,  the  second  payments  404,  third  311,  fourth  241,  fifth 
155,  sixth  110,  seveoth  62,  and  eighth  29.  The  first  six  were 
$10  each,  the  seventh  $15  and  the  eighth  $25.  This  made  a 
grand  total  of  $19,185,  of  which  but  $30  has  been  refunded 
for  dead  foals.  The  race  was  to  be  trotted  during  the  season 
of  1894,  and  it  has  been  determined  that  the  new  Detroit 
track  shall  be  christened  by  this  prize.    It  is  possible  that

a  special  purse.  Mr.  Hamlin  did  not  send  the  entrance  fees  with  bis 
nominations  and  told  the  club  he  would  pay  cash  entrances  on  his 
starters  in  races,  but  that  the  other  fees  could  be  deducted  from  the 
special  purse  for  Fantasy.  The  club  refused  to  enter  into  any  such

tions. 

"Witch  Hazrl  Stock  Farm  is  jogging  more  business 
horses  and  colts  than  usual,  and  it  is  hard  to  say  just  at  this

Pacific  Rural.  The  horses  are  all  working  well,  and 
most  any  of  them  would  make  a  creditable  showing  on  the 
turf  this  season.  Blondie,  2:19],  is  being  jogged  at  the  trot, 
and  it  is  safe  to  say  he  will  be  kept  at  that  gait  this  year.  Kit- 
itas  Ranger,  the  unknown  quantity,  will  represent  Witch  Ha-

to  enter  all  the  way  from  3:00  class  to  the  free-for-all.  Carl 
Carne  and  Dick  Williams  will  represent  the  three-year-old

green  ones  are  too  numerous  to  mention.  Suffice  it  to  say 
that  Witch  Hazel  will  have  a  representative  for  every  class. 


[Written  for  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 1 
Having  been  away  from  San  Francisco  for  a  good  many 
years,  returning  to  rind  myself  almost  a  stranger,  I  naturally 
sought  old  and  familiar  places  that  I  used  to  visit.  There 
was  one  particular  place  that  was  always  a  pleasure  ground 
for  me,  the  old  Cliff  House  road,  where  I  used  to  stroll  on 
pleasant  days  and  watch  the  road  drivers  speed  their  horses 
up  and  down  their  favorite  drive.  So  the  first  leisure  day 
after  my  arrival,  I  started  out  for  a  stroll  to  my  old  pleasure 
resort,  The  Turf  House.  On  my  way  out,  I  noticed,  much  to 
my  disgUBt,  that  a  line  of  street  cars  run  on  most  every  ave- 
nue leading  to  the  old  "road,  and  much  to  my  surprise  on 
reaching  the  top  of  the  hill,  I  found  the  old  toll  gate  g)ne, 
and  a  cable  road  extending  out  as  far  as  I  could  see.  I  had 
expected  to  see  the  old  road  as  it  used  to  be,  but  what  a  great 
change  had  taken  place.  As  I  walked  on  I  noticed  that  on 
each  side  of  the  road,  rows  of  stores  and  dwelling  houses  had 
been  built,  and  in  my  surprise  almost  passed  old  Cook's  place 
without  recognizing  it. 

Passing  the  Cemetery  and  reaching  the  brow  of  the  hill, 
I  looked  ahead  and  saw  another  railroad  track  on  the  road  ; 
I  then  realized  that  my  pleasure  of  long  ago  had  been  swept 
away,  and  the  CliffHouse  Road  was  a  drive  of  the  past.  I 
however,  continued  my  walk  to  my  old  favorite  spot,  noting  as 
I  passed  along  a  mile  Uack,  and  I  wondered  what  had  become 
of  Jim  Eoff  and  the  half  mile  track.  Would  I  see  Ned  Ben- 
nett at  the  Turf  House  and  Capt.  and  Ed.  Foster  at  the  Home- 
stead, memories  of  these  old  friends  coming  back  to  me  as  I 
wandered  on.  I  did  not  find  Bennett  or  the  Turf  House;  but 
I  was  somewhere  about  the  old  spot  as  near  as  I  could  judge, 
and  having  brought  my  lunch  with  me,  I  concluded  to  rest 
awhile,  eat  and  think  over  old  times.  Having  finished  my 
lunch  I  fell  into  a  deep  reverie  and  finally  went  to  sleep,  and 
there  dreaming  in  the  old  spot,  I  saw  the  road  and  the  well- 
known  faces  and  horses  of  long  ago. 

Riding  along  at  a  rapid  pace  behind  Chief  and  Lady  Utley 
was  Tom  Maguire,  hat  in  hand,  as  was  his  custom,  enjoying 
the  invigorating  breeze  from  the  Pacific. 

Hello  !  who  is  this  behind  that  well-matched  team  of  bob- 
tails?    Why  its  Charles  Main  with  Copper  and  Steel. 

Look,  quick  boys  ain't  that  a  great  pair  of  geldings.  They 
must  be  going  close  to  a  2:30  gait.  That's  Abner  Parker, 
driving  Dashaway  and  Mate,  and  here  comes  Bill  Briggs  with 
Rowdy. 

Ah!  here  they  come,  Billy  Ware  with  Spot  and  Bally,  what 
a  great  pair  of  roadsters  they  are. 

There's  a  team  just  passing  now  that  used  to  burn  up  the 
road,  Lowrey  Matthews  and  Broomcorn,  the  driver?  Mil- 
ton S.  Latham,  a  great  lover  of  a  good  road  team.  That 
one  that  just  went  past  was  going  so  fast  that  I  could  not 
distinguish  horse  or  driver  but  1  knew  his  yell  it  was  J.  X. 
Killip,  proprietor  of  the  Red  Stable.  Here  comes  a  little 
team  and  their  driver  is  always  reade  for  a  brush,  Thos. 
Tobin  with  Paddy  Magee  and  Brown  Mack,  ana  right  in  bis 
wake  is  Eugene  McCarty  with  Westfield. 

Look  at  them  come,  P.  A.  Finegan  with  Peanuts  and 
Fred,  and  head  and  head  with  him  Michael  Rsese  and  Major 
Beck.  Who  is  that  behind  that  handsome  bay  and  grey  ? 
Why  it  is  Lou  Hamilton  and  \1  Whipple  and  the  horses, 
Chickashea  and  Westphalia.  I  nod  good  afternoon  to  Chief 
Burke  as  he  flys  along  with  his  pacers,  when  Tom  Gallagher 
and  his  handsome  pair  of  grays  come  in  sight. 

Lookout !  here  comes  a  large  man  with  a  large  horse  and 
he  is  going  some,  he  is  sightio'  him  down  the  reins,  it  is 
Capt.  Ben.  E.  Harris  and  Regulator.  I  hollered  to  him  that 
Chas.  S.  Crittenden  was  after  him  with  a  pea  warmer  and 
Cap  in  looking  back  lost  his  hat,  and  the  heat. 

There  goes  an  old  timer  and  a  great  team,  Warren  Loud 
with  Powder  and  Washoe. 

Here  comes  a  race,  Roe  Allen  with  Punch  and  Kitty,  and 
Chet  Lusk  with  Charley  and  mate  ;  can't  decide  it  until  they 
get  to  the  end  of  the  road. 

There  goes  John  Duncan  and  his  handsome  bay  stallion, 
and  Harry  Norton  wilh  Lucy. 

Look  at  that  team,  they  are  moving  some!  I  don't  know 
what  they  are  but  Capt.  Millen  Griffiths  is  driving  them  and 
he  always  has  pretty  near  the  top  hand. 

Uncle  Billy  Woodward  just  passed  with  Eugene  Casserly, 
and  Pat  Farrell  says:  "How  d'ye,"  as  he  urges  Shell  Park 
home  from  market. 

A  dark  team  shot  along  just  then.  It  was  Downey  and 
Latham  with  Harris  Covey  and  Charles  Hosmer  behind 
them.  There  goes  Wm.  S.  O'  Brien  driving  his  favorite,  John 
Bright;  and  there  comes  Charley  Chase  with  his  handsome 
bay.  There  must  be  a  race  to  day  for  here  comes  Capt.  E. 
J.  Weeks  behind  Pacific,  and  Alf  Ellis,  T.  J.  Edmonson, 
Ballv  Hamilton  and  E.  M.  Skaggs  in  a  rockaway.  Hello! 
there  goes  Sam  Whitehead  and  George  Tuttle.  Races  to-day, 
sure. 

"  Who  is  that,  Bennett,  that  passed  just  now?" 
"That's  Leland  Stanford  wilh  Onward  and  Ned.     He  has 
come  to  San  Francisco  to  live." 

That  gentleman  riding  that  handsome  Rifleman  gelding  is 
Wm.  T.  Coleman,  and  the  other  is  Loui  Byrnes  riding  Abe 
Edgington. 

Here  comes  a  road  race,  Frank  Lawton,  Bill  Lambert 
and  Phil  McGovern,  all  driving  green  ones,  the  loserto  open 
a  basket  at  Dickey's.  If  Lawton  had  not  turned  in  at  the 
Turf  House  he  couldn't  have  lost.  There  goes  Flood  with  a 
handsome  team,  and  now  comes  Chas.  Crocker  with  a  fast 
double  team  that  attracts  the  attention  of  all. 

Here  comes  an  old  familiar  face,  John  G.  lis,  behind  his 
quiet  family  horse;  and  following  close  is  Billy  Bridge  and 
Sandy  Austin  getting  ready  for  a  brush  with  their  double 
teams. 

"  Who  is  that  lady,  Ned,  driving  that  pretty  bay  stallion  to 
a  single  seat?" 

"Why,  that's  Mamie  Ellis,  one  of  the  best  drivers  that 
frequents  the  road." 

There  goesa  veteran,  Capt.  Henry  White.  Always  on  the 
road  with  a  good  team.  And  there  comes  Ed  Norton  and 
Col.  E.  E.  Eyre,  both  lovers  of  good  teams. 

Whoop!  they're  gone.  Jim  McL'ue  and  his  cyclones;  they 
won't  be  last  to  the  track. 

They  must  all  be  coming  back,  for  I  hear  an  unusual  sound; 
and  a  bell  rings.  Looking  up,  quite  startled,  I  saw  a  street 
car  passing.  The  old  road,  the  drivers  and  the  horses, — was  a 
dream.  Rio  Alto.

THE  NEW  BORN  FOAL. 


An  Interesting  and  Timely  Essay  on  the  Cure  of 
Young  Foals  and  Their  Treatment. 


{Kcad  before  the  Medical  Association  of  the  Ohio  Veterinary  col- 
lege, by  l>r.  Frank  B,  Patten,  Lexington,  Ky.] 

Thesubject  which  1  briDg  before  you,  the  "Care  of  the 
New-Born  Foal,"  although  iD  itself  not  appearing  to  come 
under  the  limit  of  veterinary  science  to  some  of  you,  yet  in 
r>iy  opinion  it  is  a  branch  of  the  profession  which  all  veter- 
inarians and  breeders  should  be  thoroughly  acquainted  with, 
so  as  to  be  able  to  employ  the  most  rigid  preventions  and 
care  whilst  in  health,  as  well  as  combat  all  derangements  and 
abnormal  functions  during  disease.  The  assuming  of  super- 
intendeucy  of  some  of  the  largest  breeding  establishments 
throughout  the  breeding  universe  by  sime  of  our  most  prom- 
inent veterinarions  in  later  years,  at  very  remunerative  sal- 
aries, impresses  the  fact  that  we  should  become  more 
thoroughly  able  to  cope  with  the  supervision  of  this  most 
important  branch  of  the  industry,  for  without  a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  same  we  could  not  fulfill  such  an  import- 
ant office  either  with  success  to  ourselves  or  satisfaction  to 
our  employers. 

You  are  .all  fully  aware  of  the  important  functional 
changes  that  lake  place  on  the  birth  of  a  foal,  some  organs 
of  the  greatest  importance  to  the  sustenance  and  develop- 
ment of  fuHal  life  being  now  thoroughly  abolished,  whilst 
stilt  other  organs  that  have  remained  dormant,  or  nearly  so> 
during  foetal  life  now  take  an  important  part  in  the  main- 
tenance of  life  which,  with  the  excessive  changes  of  sur- 
roundings, makes  the  first  few  days  of  existence  by  far  the 
most  important  as  to  the  danger  of  the  animal's  life. 

On  account  of  the  foaling  season  extending  over  a  con- 
siderable period  of  the  year  different  preventative  measures 
must  be  taken,  according  to  the  season  of  the  year,  the  very 
early  and  late,  or  summer  foals,  I  find,  in  this  region  of  the 
United  States,  requiring  by  far  the  most  careful  and  watch- 
ful attention,  besides  yielding  to  most  unfavorable  results. 
The  intermediate  season,  from  April  1  to  June,  is  the  most 
preferable  time  for  mares  foaling.  Age  of  mare  and  varieties 
of  climate,  of  course,  must  be  taken  into  consideration. 

Where  it  is  desirable  or  beneficial  for  mares  to  foal  very 
early  in  the  season  (from  Jan.  1  to  April  1)  the  necessary 
accommodations  should  at  all  times  be  at  command  in  the 
shape  of  warm,  comfortable  box  stalls,  as  free  from  encum- 
brance in  the  shape  of  racks,  feed  boxes,  etc.,  as  possible,  and 
they  should  be  kept  thoroughly  clean,  free  from  any  decom- 
posed manure  or  other  organic  matter  which  may  be  con- 
ducive to  derangements  that  will  be  later  mentioned.  The 
stall  should  be  at  least  fourteen  feet  square,  with  clay  floor, 
or  anything  of  similar  nature,  the  plank  floor  being  danger- 
ous for  mares  that  are  liable  to  be  constantly  getting  up  and 
lying  down  during  the  preparatory  act  of  parturition. 

It  is  particularly  required  that  the  mare  should  be  closely 
watched  by  an  attendant  so  as  to  be  able  to  give  any  necessary 
assistance  that  may  be  required  in  the  expulsion,  and,  further- 
more, to  prevent  any  injury  to  the  foal  by  the  mare  backing 
against  the  sidesof  the  stall  and  still  further  prevent  the  foal 
from  being  smothered. 

Supposing  the  mare  has  foaled  in  a  recumbent  position 
(which  from  my  own  experience  I  find  the  most  general  man- 
ner, although  some  of  our  best  authors  claim  otherwise)  the 
attendant  should  perform  what  he  has  to  do  in  a  quiet  and 
noiseless  manner  (and  one  attendant  only  is  far  better  than  a 
number,  in  a  normal  parturition)  so  as  not  to  frighten  the 
mother  to  her  feet  immediately  after  delivery,  for  I  think 
rut  tire  of  the  umbilical  (navel)  cord  is  more  easily  per- 
formed and  attended  with  much  less  hemorrhage  if  delayed 
for  a  few  minutes,  than  if  severed  immediately.  This  cord 
is  formed  principally  by  the  two  umbilical  arteries,  umbilical 
vein,  and  the  utrachus,  through  which  has  come  the  main- 
tenance of  life  during  fii-tal  existence,  and  it  has  to  be  sev- 
ered at  birth.  There  are  different  theories  evinced  for  the 
separation  of  this  important  union  ;  first,  by  applying  a  lig- 
ature and  dividing  the  cord  by  a  knife  or  other  sharp  instru- 
ment; second  (which  I  prefer  myself),  to  resort  to  nature's 
method  of  sufficient  pulling  or  tention  to  rupture  the  cord, 
performed  generally  at  the  lime  the  mare  raises  to  her  feet  or 
through  the  struggling  of  the  foal  soon  after  birth. 

if  cut  by  a  sharp  instrument,  it  should  be  carefully  liga- 
tured before  doing  so,  and  here  is  where  perfect  aseptic  meas- 
ures should  be  rigidly  enforced.  If  ruptured  by  natural  ten- 
sion the  ligature  is  rarely  necessary,  the  muscular  walls  of 
the  arteries  being  detached  in  an  irregular  manner,  the  ends 
turn  inward,  thereby  forming  a  clot  in  the  vessel  and  pre- 
venting hemorrhage,  at  the  same  time  allowing  a  sufficient 
quantity  of  the  liquid  parts  of  the  blood  to  slowly  escape, 
which,  I  ihink,  if  retained  often  forms  a  favorable  pabulum 
for  different  micro-organisms  which  play  an  important  part 
in  all  suppurative  and  diseased  processes. 

The  attendant  immediately  on  the  delivery  of  the  foal 
should  first  remove  any  obstacle  that  may  interfere  with  its 
breathing,  place  it  on  Borne  nice  clean  straw  and  briskly  rub 
the  new-comer  from  head  to  foot  with  rub  rags,  or,  what  is 
even  better,  a  wisp  of  hay  or  straw,  so  as  to  promote  circula- 
tion and  heat,  and  if  intensely  cold  it  is  advisable  even  to 
Wrap  it  up  in  some  warm  blankets  or  anything  that  would  be 
conducive  to  its  comfort.  Some  milk  may  now  be  gotten 
from  the  mare  and  slowly  given,  by  means  of  a  bottle,  which 
should  be  on  hand  for  the  occasion.  This  greatly  assists  the 
foal  in  gaining  strength  to  struggle  to  its  feet,  which  is  gen- 
erally done  from  thirty-five  tn  fifty  minutes  afterbirth. 

In  early  foals  especi;illv,  I  have  great  confidence  in  the 
use  of  warm  enemas,  as  eoon  after  foaling  as  convenient,  by 
the  way  of  a  fountain  syringe  suspended  and  injecting  about  a 
quart  of  tepid  water  with  a  little  cnBtile  soap,  it  often  having 
the  effect  of  removing  considerable  of  the  meconium  of  first 
fiical  matter,  and  thereby  often  avoiding  a  case  of  constipa- 
tion. Should  there  be  no  evacuation  after  the  use  of  the 
soap  and  water,good  results  may  begotten  by  substituting  one 
•  >r  two  lablespoonsful  of  glycerine  in  the  tepid  water,  but  it  is 
not  often  required.  The  n  trillion  of  this  (Veal  matter  1  have 
seen  cau^e  foals  severe  colicky  pains  in  a  few  hours  after 
birth.  As  <  he  season  advances  and  the  mother  getH  recourse 
to  abundant  ^  ■  ass  and  succulent  food  this  process  is  not  so 
necessary,  although  it  produces  no  harm  done  at  any  season 


of  the  year,  if  done  carefully  and  with  reasonable  judgment. 

The  foal  is  subject  to  many  defects  and  diseases  that 
might  be  enumerated  here,  but  1  will  endeavor  to  ex- 
plain a  few  of  the  most  prevalent  in  every-day  prac- 
tice: (I)  Constipation  ;  diarrhoea ;  (111)  omphalophlebi- 
tis. 

Constipation,  or  retention  of  hard  feecal  matter,  is  most 
prevalent  in  the  early  foals,  before  the  mother  has  been  able 
to  obtain  sufficient  green  foods,  or  where  the  milk  has  been 
trickling  from  the  mare's  bag  for  several  days  prior  to  foal- 
ing, thereby  losing  the  first  milk  (colostrum)  which  acts  as  a 
gentle  aperient  to  the  foal.  Constipation  in  the  young  foal 
requires  prompt  and  careful  attention,  it  generally  producing 
more  seveie  abdominal  pain  than  in  the  adult  animal  and 
prone  to  result  in  inflammation  of  the  bowels,  characterized 
by  severe  straining,  rolling  on  its  back,  with  front  feet  drawn 
up  to  its  sternum,  and  frequently  turning  its  head  around  to 
the  abdomen.  It  should  be  combated  by  the  administration 
of  one  or  two  tablespoonsful  of  castor  oil  coupled  with  enemas 
of  warm  water,  with  which  has  been  combined  a  little  castile 
soap  or  glycerine,  and  administered  very  carefully  with  a 
fountain  syringe,  being  particularly  careful  that  the  nozzle  of 
same  is  oiled  and  inserted  very  gently.  In  addition  to  the 
same,  the  rectum  should  be  gently  explored  by  the  finger  well 
oiled  and  carefully  inserted,  when  in  a  great  many  instances 
the  hard,  pellety  fiecal  matter  can  be  felt  in  front  of  the  brim 
of  the  pelvis  and  carefully  broken  down.  The  appearance  of 
soft  excremenlitious  material  should  not  convince  you  that 
the  constipation  is  thoroughly  removed,  for  this  frequently 
appears  and  still  hard  fecal  matter  be  retained  in  the  more 
forward  portion  of  the  bowel.  The  addition  of  dry,  warm 
cloths  or  blankets  frequently  applied  to  the  abdomen  is  bene- 
ficial, and  the  surroundings  should  be  clean,  warm  and  com- 
fortable. 

Diarrhcea  is  also  very  frequent  in  the  young  foal,  often  fol- 
lowing the  previous  trouble  of  constipation,  or  caused  by 
suckling  after  the  dam  has  been  overheated  ;  allowing  free 
access  to  the  dam  after  being  separated  for  some  hours,  un- 
wholesome milk,  either  from  ill  health  of  the  mare,  or  the 
secretion  of  more  milk  than  can  be  consumed  by  the  foal. 
Eating  hay,  straw,  or  any  rough  material  before  having  the 
necessary  teeth  for  mastication,  the  stomach  and  intestines 
not  being  then  sufficiently  developed  for  digestion,  is  an- 
other cause.  Probably  diarrhcea  is  more  prevalent  in  the 
hot  summer  months  than  in  the  early  foaling  season,  it  often 
assuming  an  enzootic  form,  and  if  very  strict  attention  is  not 
given,  often  proving  rather  a  serious  malady  to  contend  with. 
The  symptoms  are  very  plainly  shown  by  the  evacuations, 
in  severe  cases  intense  abdominal  pain  often  ensuing.  Rapid 
emaciation,  the  alvin  discharge  taking  on  a  very  offensive 
odor,  will  also  be  observed.  Treatment  of  this  trouble  must 
be  both  hygienic  and  medicinal,  the  medicinal  being  sec- 
ondary to  the  hygienic  treatment,  for  in  no  disorder  of  the 
young  foal  is  there  a  greater  necessity  for  the  strict  adherence 
to  cleanliness  and  purification.  The  stall  must  be  thoroughly 
ventilated,  cleaned  and  swept  out  every  day  with  some  disin- 
fectant sprinkled  over  the  floor.  In  hot  summer  months  the 
placing  of  mosquito  netting  over  the  windows  is  very  bene- 
ficial, the  odor  being  a  great  attraction  to  flies,and  their  pres- 
ence very  annoying  and  detrimental  to  ihe  comfort  and  re- 
covery of  the  patient.  Where  available,  a  nice  shady  grove 
may  be  substituted  for  the  stall, and  the  use  of  a  paddock  dur- 
ing pleasant  nights  of  the  heated  season. 

Medicinally,  at  first  give  castor  oil  -J  oz.  to  1  oz ,  accord- 
ing to  the  size  of  the  foal,  to  be  followed  by  : 

Recipe  : 

Acid  sulph.  aromal 1  oz 

Bismuth  sub  nit 30grs 

Crseta  praep 1  oz 

Mix:  Sig:  Given  every  three  or  four  hours  in  a  little 
warm  gruel,  strong  tea  or  coffee.  If  much  pain,  the  addition 
of  8  to  10  minims  of  Tinct.  Opii. 

There  are  many  agencies  that  may  be  used,  but  avoid  the 
use  ot  loo  much  internal  medicaments  that  might  tend  to 
check  the  bowels  too  quick,  also  watch  your  patient  closely 
so  as  to  stop  administering  in  due  time.  Strength  in  the 
meantime  is  to  be  kept  up  by  the  administration  of  a  little 
port  wine  or  whiskey  if  necessary.  Any  water  placed  in  the 
stall  for  the  mare  should  not  be  within  reach  of  the  patient, 
as  thirst  is  sometimes  persistent,  and  water  should  be  with- 
held. Wherever  discharge  adheres,  the  parts  should  be 
washed  ofl  twice  daily,  to  prevent  as  much  as  possible  the 
severe  irritation  that  will  ensue  therefrom.  The  mare 
should  be  occasionally  milked  the  foal  being  allowed  to  take 
but  little  for  a  few  days,  it  being  even  necessary  at  times  to 
prevent  the  access  of  the  foal  to  the  mother.  May  I  also  add 
here  as  a  preventative  measure  mares  should  be  carefully 
watched  while  in  the  pasture,  to  guard  against  the  accumula- 
tion of  milk,  which  is  a  great  source  of  diarrhoea,  and  can 
often  be  avoided  by  mares  being  milked  when  such  is  present. 
This  is  prone  to  occur  during  hot  weather,  or  even  more  so 
following  thunder  showers,  during  the  hot  summer  months. 

Omphalatis,  or  omphalo-phlebitis,  is  another  ailment  with 
which  the  foal  is  liable  to  be  attacked,  contracted  soon  after 
birth  by  the  entrance  of  germs  through  the  medium  of  un- 
bilical  vein,  from  which,  if  not  arrested  before  gaining  ad- 
mission to  the  portal  vein  at  its  entrance  to  the  liver,  serious 
consequences  must  be  expected  to  result  from  its  rapid  dis- 
semination throughout  the  circulation.  The  most  frequent 
causes  of  this  are  the  severance  of  the  cord  with  instruments 
and  bands  that  are  often  far  from  being  asceptic;  the  bruis- 
ing of  the  cord,  or,  more  frequently,  the  foal  having  been 
dropped,  or  later  lying  down  in  the  stall  or  around  the  barn- 
yard, containing  decomposing  manure  or  tilth,  which  from 
the  careful  research  of  scientists  has  been  found  constantly 
teeming  with  such  nitro-organisms  as  are  productive  of  such 
suppurative  diseases.  Although  contracted  at  or  soou  after 
birth,  the  symptoms  are  not  manifested  until  the  foal  is  about 
a  week  old,  or  possibly  older,  when  it  suddenly  appears  dull 
and  listless,  with  painful  expression,  rapid  breathing  and 
great  weakness,  with  indifference  to  the  teat,  the  bowels  gen- 
erally constipated  at  first,  but  very  prone  to  diarrhoea.  In 
conjunction  with  these  symptoms  there  may  be  sudden  lame- 
ness and  inflammation  of  various  joints,  which  by  the  at- 
tendant or  owner  will  be  generally  attributed  to  the  mare 
treading  on  its  leg  while  lying  down.  The  affected  joints  are 
swollen,  hot  and  extremely  painful,  the  trouble  having  a  ten- 
dency to  suddenly  disappear  from  one  joint  and  reappear  in 
another,  in  addition  to  these  symptoms,  by  turniug  atten- 
tion to  the  navel  it  will  be  found  that,  instead  of  being  healed 
and  dried  up,  a  small  opening  extends  inward  and  forward  on 
the  floor  of  the  abdomen,  from  which  is  discharging  a  more 
or  less  purulent  fluid,  and  if  not  arrested  in  time  the  previous 
symplons  are  often  followed  by  suppuration  of  the  joints  af- 
fected. In  other  cases  there  appears  at  the  umbilicus  a  hard 
swelling    or  tumorous  formation,  which   later  softens  and 


bursts.  This  is  not  accompanied  generally  with  severe  con- 
stitutional complications,  it  seeming  to  form  a  barrier  in  the 
umbilical  vein  to  the  entrance  of  these  disease  germs  in  the 
general  circulation,  thereby  causing  their  discharge  exter- 
nally and  avoiding  a  systemic  contamination. 

It  will  be  seen  that  we  have  here  a  serious  malady,  affect- 
ing the  whole  system,  which  will  require  both  local  and  sys- 
temic treatment.  Cleanliness  must  be  6trictly  enforced  to 
prevent  the  further  source  of  septic  infection,  the  animal  at 
the  same  time  to  be  protected  from  any  exposure  to  wet  or 
cold,  as  well  as  the  rays  of  the  burning  sun.  The  navel 
should  be  treated  antiseptically,  the  extremity  of  the  cord 
being  touched  at  intervals  with  nitrate  of  silver  or  tincture  of 
iron.  The  swollen,  inflamed  joints  should  be  bathed  in  hot 
water,  with  some  anodyne  application  after,  or  in  some  in- 
stances the  soap  liniment,  diluted,  may  be  supplemented. 
Should  suppuration  of  a  joint  occur,  it  must  be  kept  clean 
and  injected  with  peroxide  of  hydrogen  and  thorough  anti- 
septic measures  taken. 

Medicinally,  the  salicylate  of  6oda  seems  to  have  very 
beneficial  effects,  given  in  from  ten  to  fifteen-grain  doses  three 
or  four  times  daily  in  conjunction  with  a  little  whiskey — the 
strength  to  be  supported  as  much  as  possible.  The  foal  must 
be  frequently  assisted  to  suckle,  it  often  failing  to  do  so  on 
account  of  the  severe  pain  evinced  in  attempting  to  get  to 
the  mother. 

It  should  be  seen  that  prophylaxis  is  the  sheet-anchor  in 
the  care  of  the  new-born  foal  which  would  suggest :  (1)  That 
the  mare  should  be  carefully  watched  and  receive  all  neces- 
sary attention  during  the  act  of  parturition.  (2)  See  that 
the  foal  is  dropped  and  kept  in  a  clean  stall,  or,  better  still,  if 
weather  permits,  a  clean  pasture.  (3)  Protect  the  navel,  im- 
mediately after  birth,  from  the  invasion  of  living  germs  by 
proper  antiseptic  drepsings  to  the  severed  cord.  (4)  "Watch 
closely  and  see  that  the  functions  of  the  excretory  organs  are 
performed  soon  after  birth.  (5)  Watch  the  mother,  that  no 
excess  of  milk  be  allowed  to  accumulate,  and  allow  her  to 
receive  nothing  but  pure  and  wholesome  food. 


The  Pedigree  of  Direct. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — The  article  written 
by  me  in  relation  to  the  breeding  of  the  great  grandam  of 
Direct  and  published  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  of 
January  20th  evidently  requires  an  explanation,  as  it  has 
been  thesubject  of  considerable  discussion  among  turf  writers 
in  the  East.  The  article  was  intended  to  throw  some  light 
upon  the  breeding  of  the  grandam  of  Echora.  The  grandam 
of  Direct  was  bred  and  owned  by  John  D.  Young,  of  Los  An- 
geles, and  called  the  Young  Mare,  and  every  oldtime  horse- 
man in  this  county  knew  through  John  D.  Young  that  she 
was  by  Jack  Hawkins,  he  by  Boston,  and  that  her  dam  was 
the  mare  his  father,  James  F.  Young,  brought  across  the 
plains  to  California  in  1853,  and  was  always  called  byMr# 
Young  a  Kentucky  Whip  mare.  The  particulars  con- 
tained in  my  former  letter  in  relatiou  to  her,  I  obtained  from 
him  several  years  ago,  and  so  that  the  horsemen  and  everyone 
interested  may  understand  that  this  is  not  a  recently-con- 
structed pedigree  for  the  benefit  of,  to  put  it  mildly,  one  of 
the  greatest  horses  in  America,  I  will  inform  them  that  in 
the  year  1871  the  Young  Mare  was  booked  to  Echo,  and  her 
breeding  given  exactly  as  above  stated. 

In  my  letter  leferred  to,  I  stated  that  Mr.  Young's  aunt 
believed  that  Abe  Barnes  came  to  California  and  settled  in 
Yolo  county.  I  have  since  met  a  gentleman  that  knew  a  man 
by  that  name  and  that  he  had  charge  of  the  Woodland  race 
track  a  few  years  ago.  I  hope  he  may  be  still  living,  and  if  so, 
I  shall  congratulate  myself  upon  the  fact  that  my  letter  has 
been  the  means  of  ascertaining  the  home  of  the  Missouri  owner 
of  the  great  grandam  of  Direct.  A  few  days  ago  I  met  my 
friend  Ed.  Smith,  of  Los  Angeles,  pedigree  tabulator  and 
recognized  authority  on  horse  matters  generally,  and  he 
handed  me  an  article  clipped  from  the  Chicago  Horseman 
copied  from  a  Buffalo  paper,  stating  that  the  dam  of  Echora 
was  sired  by  Jack  Hawkins,  an  unknown  horse;  hence,  the 
importance  of  establishing  his  breeding,  now  .that  his  grand- 
son is  classed  among  the  world  beaters,  that  J.  C.  Newton 
partially  clears  up  the  mystery  as  follows:  John  D.  Young 
owned  and  bred  the  dam  of  Echora  to  Echo.  He  purchased 
this  mare  in  1S53  of  Abe  Barnes,  of  Huntsville,  Mo.,  and 
brought  her  across  the  plains.  She  was  sired  by  a  Kentucky 
Whip  stallion  owned  by  said  Barnes,  etc.  He  would  have 
quoted  me  correctly  if  he  had  stated  that  the  grandam  of 
Echora  (not  the  dam)  was  purchased  in  1853  of  Abe  Barnes, 
near  Huntsville,  Mo.,  and  brought  across  the  plains.  It  was 
not  deemed  necessary  to  inform  the  pubic  that  Echora's  dam 
was  by  Jack  Hawkins,  and  he  by  Boston.  In  a  letter  written 
for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining,  if  possible,  the  breeding  of 
her  grandam,  as  the  sire  of  Echora's  dam  has  never  been 
questioned  to  my  knowledge.

Halter  Pullers. 


Ahorse  that  never  gained  bis  liberty  by  breaking  his  hal- 
ter never  became  a  halter-puller,  says  a  practical  writer.  Poor 
halters  or  bridles  have  always  been  the  cause  of  horses  ac- 
quiring the  habit  of  breaking  loose.  It  ie,  therefore,  of  the 
utmost  importance  that  whatever  a  colt  is  tied  with  it  be  be- 
yond his  power  to  break.  If  the  first  few  attempts  to  free 
itself  are  in  vain  theie  is  very  little  danger  of  a  colt  tryiug 
the  experiment  soon  again.  When  horses  have  once  become 
accustomed  to  breaking  loose  the  best  way  to  break  them  is 
to  fasten  them  securely  with  strong  straps  or  ropes  and  then 
give  them  an  opportunity  to  pull  away  until  they  get  tired  of 
the  sport.  A  few  lessons  of  this  kind  will  sometimes  break 
them  of  the  Labix.  As  the  habit  is  one  of  the  worst  that  a 
hoise  can  contract  every  precaution  should  be  taken  to  pre- 
vent it,  or  when  once  contracted  it  should  be  broken  up  as 
speedily  as  possible. 

The  following  is  given  as  a  complete  list  of  stable  vices: 
Slipping  the  headstall,  bead-stall  pulling,  leaping  into  the 
manger,  rolling  in  the  stall  so  as  to  get  cast,  kicking  the  stall 
post,  weaving,  pawing,  kicking  at  man,  biting,  striking,  crib- 
bing and  wind-sucking,  the  two  latter  being  almost  synony- 
mous, except  that  in  the  ti  rst  the  wind  is  taken  into  the  stom- 
ach by  fixing  the  teeth  on  the  crib,  and  in  the  second  by 
merely  flapping  the  li  ps.  These  vices  are  directly  the  result 
of  idleness  and  conditions  of  the  system  brought  on  thereby, 
and  are  therefore  practically  incurable.

JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


FORTY-FOURTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MARCH   /TH. 

URPRISES  and  small  fields  went 
hand-in-hand  this  blues-giving 
day.  Three  favorites  and  two 
long  shots  got  the  money,  but 
two  of  the  first  choices  were  not 
very  strongly  played.  It  is  a 
pretty  safe  bet  that  the  balance 
was  on  the  right  side  of  the  pen- 
cilers'  ledgers.  The  attendance  was  on  a  par  with  the  slim- 
ness  of  the  fields,  and,  no  doubt,  the  wretched  weather  and 
meager  entry-list  had  everything  to  do  with  the  sad  state  of 
affairs.  The  course,  too,  never  gets  a  great  deal  slower  than 
it  was  to-day.    Altogether  it  was  an  "off  day." 

A  big  surprise  was  on  tap  in  the  very  first  race.  Special 
was  the  favorite  and  well-played.  True  Briton  was  much 
liked,  while  a  torrid  tip  was  out  on  Prince  Idle.  Sam 
Brown  and  Orizaba,  long  shots,  had  the  race  to  themselves, 
running  close  together  several  lengths  in  front-of  the  third 
horse,  Prince  Idle,  most  of  the  way,  Brown  lasting  the  best 
and  winning  a  dog  race  by  three  parts  of  a  length.  True 
Briton  came  up  fast  in  the  homestretch  and  got  the  show. 
The  doggmess  of  the  race  can  be  judged  by  the  fact  that  the 
time  for  the  short  six  furlongs  was  1:21. 

Annie  Moore  probably  "won  herself  out"  for  her  new 
owner,  W.  Brown,  in  the  second  race.  Getting]away  third  to 
a  straggling  start,  Joe  and  Queen  Bee  raced  ofi'in  front.  Annie 
Moore  ran  third  to  the  homestretch,  and  then  came  on  and 
won  easily  by  thiee  lengths,  with  the  30  to  1  shot,  Joe,  in  the 
place  by  a  nose,  Queen  Bee  third. 

Georgetown  ran  a  remarkably  good  race  in  the  third  event. 
Redlight  led  to  the  homestretch  by  a  small  margin.  Then 
Georgetown  made  the  big  Little  Alp  gelding  look  like  a 
sucker,  he  coming  away  and  winning  easily  by  three  lengths 
from  Conde,  who  beat  Redlight  one  and  a  half  lengths  for 
the  place. 

Artist,  at  7  to  1,  won  the  fourth  race  quite  handily.  He 
ran  second  to  Senaele  to  the  homestretch,  and  came  on  and 
won  by  two  lengths  from  S-in  Luu  Rey.  who  made  a  phe- 
nomenal run  from  the  rear  in  the  homestretch.  Semele  was 
third  and  the  favorite,  Road  Runner,  fourth.  Trix,  who  has 
time  and  again  shown  his  liking  for  the  mud,  was  the  last 
horse  in  the  race,  and  not  only  that — he  was  not  in  the  hunt 
at  any  time.  He  had  won  his  two  last  races  from  some  of  the 
best  three-year-olds  at  the  track,  and  his  poor  snowing  to-day 
is  very  hard  of  explanation.  In  one  of  his  recent  races  Trix 
easily  defeated  Artist  by  several  lengths,  yet  to-day  Artist 
beat  Van  Ness'  youngster  fully  twenty  lengths  with  nearly 
the  identical  weight  up  that  they  carried  the  other  day — in 
fact,  there  was  juit  the  same  difference  between  the  pair. 

The  last  race  went  to  Red  Cloud,  the  favorite,  ia  a  drive 
which  lasted  for  the  best  part  of  six  furlongs.  Wild  Oats  at 
odds  of  7  to  1  (suspicious-looking  when  it  is  considered  how 
easily  be  has  been  defeating  tne  jumpers  at  the  local  track 
lately)  stumbled  over  the  last  obstacle  at  a  time  when  he 
looked  exceedingly  dangerous,  and  Floodmorecame  up  with 
a  rush  and  nipped  the  place  from  Guadaloupe.

Special,  at  8  to  5,  was  quite  a  favorite  in  the  first  race, 
about  six  furlongs.  True  Briton  was  at  2  to  1,  Prince  Idle 
2i  (backed  down  from  4  to  1),  Sam  Bro*vn  7  to  1,  Orizaba 
30,  Joe  Frank  50  and  Sir  Alfred  100  to  1.  To  a  poor  start 
the  order  was  Special,  Prince  Idle,  Sam  Brown,  True  Briton. 
Sam  Brown  soon  ran  into  the  lead,  and  Orizaba  was  at  his 
heels  as  they  swept  by  the  half-pole,  Prince  Idle  third,  three 
lengths  away,  the  others  in  procession  order.  Sam  Brown 
and  Orizaba  had  a  hard  fight  to  the  end,  and  the  rest  were 
not  in  the  hunt.  Brown  won  by  three  parts  of  a  length  from 
Orizaba,  who  beat  True  Briton  five  lengths  for  the  place. 
Prince  Idle,  the  "good  thing,"  finished  fourth,  a  neck  behind 
the  black  Australian  horse.     Time,  1:21.

The  third  race,  also  five  furlongs,  selling,  had  six  starters. 
Conde  was  favorite  at  3  to  2,  Georgetown  next  in  demand  at 
9  to  5.  Kedlight,  6  to  I  at  one  time,  was  a  4  to  1  shot  at  the 
close,  Joe  Cotton  7,  Clacquer  20  and  Sir  Reginald  GO  tol.  To 
a  good  start  the  order  was  Georgetown,  Redlight,  Coode,  Joe 
Cotton.  At  the  half  Redlieht  led  by  a  length,  Georgetown 
second,  half  a  length  from  Conde,  who  was  as  far  from  .Sir 
Reginald.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch  the  three  leaders 
named  were  but  necks  apart,  Sir  Reginald  fourth,  two  lengths

Road  Runner  was  an  even-money  favorite  in  the  fourth 
race,  Trix  second  choice  at  11  to  5.  Artist  was  at  10  to  1, 
Semele  12,  Una  Colorado  15  and  San  Luis  Rey  20  to  1.  To 
a  fair  start  the  order  was  Semele,  Road  Runner,  Artist. 
Semele  led  at  the  half-pole  by  a  length,  Artist  second,  one  and 
a  half  lengths  from  Road  Runner,  he  two  lengths  from  Trix. 
Semele  and  Artist  were  necks  apart  .as  named  turning  into 
the  homstretch,  Road  Runner  two  lengths  away,  then  Trix, 
San  Luis  Rey  and  Una  Colorado  buDched  several  lengths 
behind.  Artist  came  away  in  the  straight  and  won  easily  by 
two  lengths,  while  with  a  fine  burst  of  speed  San  Luis  Rey 
came  from  the  rear  and  got  the  place,  half  a  length  in  front 
of  Semele,  Road  Runner  another  half  length  behind.  Trix 
was  last,  and  a  bad  last  at  that,  his  run  being  in  marked  con-

The  concluding  race  of  the  afternoon  was  a  mile  and  a  six- 
teenth hurdle  race.  Red  Cloud  reigned  favorite  at  9  to  5, 
Guadaloupe  being  a  strong  second  choice  at  2J  to  1,  backed 
down  from  3  to  1.  Templemore  was  at  3,  Floodmore  10  and 
and  Wild  Oats  7  to  1.  The  odds  against  Wild  Oats,  in  view 
of  his  recent  most  excellent  showing  in  heavy  going  over  the 
jumps,  loosed  as  if  all  was  not  as  it  should  be.  On  perform- 
ance he  should  not  have  been  better  than  2  to  1  in  the  books. 
Red  Cloud,  Floodmore,  Wild  Oats,  Guadaloupe,  Templemore 
was  the  order  at  the  start.  Gnadaloupe  went  around  the  first 
turn  at  a  great  pace,  and  was  leading  at  the  quarter-pole  by  a 
little  over  a  length,  Red  Cloud  second,  half  a  length  from 
Floodmore.  Guadiloupeand  Red  Cloud  raced  past  the  half 
nose-and-nose,  Wild  Oats  third,  three  lengths  back,  lapped  by 
Floodmore.  Head-and-head  the  first-named  pair  ran  for  an- 
other sixteenth  of  a  mile,  and  then  Red  Cloud  made  a  spurt 
and  drew  clear,  rounding  the  turn  into  the  straight  about 
three  lengths  to  the  good.  In  the  homestretch  there  was  a 
general  closing  up,  Wild  Oats  coming  so  fast  and  gaining  so 
rapidly  that  it  looked  as  if  he  would  overhaul  Red  Cloud  and 
win.  At  the  last  obstacle  Red  Cloud,  Guadaloupe  and  Wild 
Oats  were  about  a  length  apart,  but  the  latter  struck  the 
jump  and  stumbled  to  his  knees,  losing  all  chances.  Red 
Cloud,  under  vigorous  riding,  drew  away  and  won  for  his 
new  owner  by  four  lengths,  while  Mclnerney  made  a  great 
finish  on  Floodmore,  nipping  the  place  from  Guadaloupe  by 
about  three  parts  of  a  length.  Time,  2:05.  But  for  the  ac- 
cident at  the  final  obstacle  Wild  Oats  would  assuredly  have 
been  first  or  second. 

FORTY-FIFTH  DAY — THURSDAY,  MARCH  8TH. 

Interesting  indeed  was  the  racing  to-day.  The  track  was 
never  slower,  and  a  mottled  sky  promised  rain  (for  a  change) 
in  the  very  near  future.  Arizona  farmers  may  need  some  of 
this,  but  our  local  race-goers  would  gladly  will  the  rain  sup- 
ply for  Ihe  next  few  months  to  the  Webfooter;  who  is  used  to  it, 
and,  in  fact,  don't  knowwhat  to  do  without  it.  As  said  before,  the 
racing  was  interesting,  and  again  it  was  almost  a  dead  heat 
in  the  race  for  coin  between  the  public  and  pencilers.  Two 
favorites  and  three  third  choices  got  home  in  front,  so  that 
there  was  not  much  room  for  crowing  by  anyone.  Hana- 
walt,  Irving,  Seaman,  Isom  and  Chevalier  were  the  winning 
horse-pilots  this  afternoon. 

Jennie  Deane  (the  favorite)  and  Winnifred  fought  from 
flag-fall  to  homestretch  in  the  first  race,  Folly  lying  back 
third  in  the  most  satisfied  way,  and  then  making  the  pair  of 
youngsters  look  like  coarse  suckers.  The  winner  was  at  12  to 
1  in  the  betting,  and  simply  cantered  io  a  winner  by  over 
two  lengths.  Winnifrea  out-gamed  Jennie  Deane,  and  was  a 
length  in  front  of  the  favorite  at  the  finish. 

Sea  Spray,  with  Irving  up,  won  the  second  race  in  hollow 
fashion,  the  surprising  feature  being  the  good  run  of  Claud ie, 
a  "green  'un"  from  Billy  Murray's  stable,who  got  place  money 
from  Gasser  by  two  lengths.  A  good  many  ugly  rumors  were 
out  regarding  the  performance  of  Gasser,  but  whelber  there 
was  any  foundation  for  the  stories  alloat  or  not  is  not  known. 

Blizzard  simply  romped  through  the  mud,  the  big  brown 
colt  seeming  to  love  the  going  and  to  be  able  to  take  the 


deepest  part  of  the  course,  give  his  opponents  the  path,  and 
still  beat  them.  Francesca  ran  in  the  lead  nearly  to  the 
ti  the  half,  then  Blizzard  took  command  and  was  not  there- 
after headed,  though  Francesca  came  again  and  got  danger- 
ously close  turning  into  the  straight.  She  died  away  to 
nothing  in  the  homestretch,  however,  and  Tyro  and  Royal 
Flush  had  a  whipping  finish  for  the  place,  which  Tyro  se- 
cured by  a  neck. 

Norlee  made  Redlight  quit  in  the  fourth  race,  and  getting 
the  dry  path,  won,  with  lsom  sitting  still,  by  four  lengths. 
Old  Canny  Scot,  who  was  supposed  to  be  anything  but  a 
sprinter,  came  up  like  a  shot  at  the  close  and  nipped  the 
place  from  the  tiring  Redlight  in  the  very  last  jump  by  a 
head.  The  jockeys  of  Redlight  and  Guard  were  questioned 
closely  by  the  stewards  regarding  their  very  weak  riding. 

Catch 'Em  a  6  to  1  chance,  captured  the  last  race  quite 
handily  by  three  lengths,  this  after  Grandee  appeared  to 
have  a  cinch  on  it.  Catch  'Em  caught  Grandee  a  little  less 
than  three  furlongs  from  home,  and  won  by  three  lengths 
from  the  favorite,  who  came  again  in  the  straight.  Raphael 
was  third,  a  nose  in  front  of  Nutwood.

Jennie  Deane  was  an  even-money  favorite  in  the  first  race, 
though  at  one  time  as  good  as  7  to  5  could  be  had  about  her. 
A  great  plunge  was  made  nn  Winnifred,who  was  backed  down 
from  3  to  1  to  8  to  5,  going  to  the  post  a  2  to  1  shot.  Iron- 
heart  was  at  7  to  1,  Folly  12,Alfred  B.  30,  Cassim  and  Happy 
Band  6  to  1  each.  To  a  good  start  the  order  was  Folly. 
Winnifred,  Cassim,  Jennie  Deane.  Winnifred,  Deane  and 
Folly  ran  past  the  half-pole  heads  apart.  Then  Winnifred 
and  the  favorite  drew  away,  and  appeared  to  have  the  race 
to  themselves.  They  entered  the  homestretch  head-and-head, 
Folly  third,  two  lengths  behind.  A  hammer-and-tongs  fight 
do  ,vn  the  homestretch  between  Winnifred  and  Jennie  Deane 
resulted  in  the  pair  running  themselves  out,  and  Folly  came 
along  and  won  with  astonishing  ease  by  two  lengths,  Winni-

Sea  Spray,  at  4  to  5,  was  a  warm  favorite  in  the  second 
race,  for  two-year-old  maidens,  half  a  mile.  Gasser  was  3  to 
1,  Sweet  7,  Claudie  15,  Ontario  20  and  Al  Broeck  50  to  1.  To 
an  excellent  start  they  went  away.  Gasser  soon  assumed  com- 
mand, attended  closely  by  Sea  Spray.  Sweet  and  Claudie  were 
together  three  lengths  back.  Sea  Spray  led  a  length  as  they 
straightened  out,  Gasser  second,  three  lengths  from  Sweet. 
Getting  the  dry  path,  Sea  Spray  had  no  difficulty  in  winning 
by  four  lengths  from  Claudie,  who  came  very  fast  down  the 
straight  and  beat  Gasser  two  lengths  for  place.  A  nose  be-

The  third  race,  a  handicap  at  a  mile,  was  a  great  betting 
affair.  Royal  Flush  was  a  slight  favorite  at  2.}  to  1.  Tyro 
was  at  3  to  1,  Blizzard  3£,  Francesca  4,  Comrade  15  to  1.  To 
a  good  start,  Comrade,  Royal  Flush,  Tyro  was  the  order. 
Francesca,  against  the  rails,  ran  rapidly  to  the  front,  leading 
at  the  quarter  by  two  lengths,  Flush  second,  a  length  from 
Blizzard,  who  was  a  head  from  Comrade.  Biizzard  soon  made 
play,  and  led  Francesca  a  head  at  the  half-pole,  Tyro  third, 
two  lengths  a^ay,  lapped  by  Royal  Flush,  Comrade  already 
out  of  it.  Francesca  now  fell  back,  and  Blizzard  opened  up 
a  lead  of  a  couple  of  lengths.  Francesca  came  again  gamely, 
however,  on  the  outside,  and  was  but  a  neck  behind  Blizzard 
as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch,  Royal  Flush  third,  half 
a  length  further  behind  and  lapped  by  Tyro.  Francesca  fell 
back  badly  at  the  straight,  and  Blizzard,  full  of  run,  won 
quite  handily  by  two  and  a  half  leDgths,  while  in  a  whipping 
finish  Tyro  beat  Royal  Flush  a  neck  for  the  place.  Time, 
1:50}.

Norlee  was  favorite  at  the  close  at  9  to  5,  Redlight  at  2  to  1. 
Fred  Parker  was  at  5  to  1,  Guard  6,  Canny  Scot  30,  Lord

If  France  continues  to  oiler  good  inducements  as  last

There  is  nothing  that  ailbrds  a  man  of  active  brain,  who 
is  brimful  of  nervous  energy,  greater  pleasure  than  a  drive 
down  the  road  behind  a  fast,  good-gaited,  game  trotter  or 
pacer.  Is  is  fun  for  the  spectators,  too,  who  are  not  able  to

Thirteen  yearlings  are  being  worked  at  the  Moorland 
Stock  Farm,  Milpitas,  and  some  of  them  are  way  above  the 
average.  Two  of  the  two-year-old  fillies  of  this  farm  which 
have  been  entered  for  the  Breeders'  meeting  are  pronounced 
by  horsemen  to  be  as  far  advanced  as  any  they  have  seen 
this  year.  

The  colt  King  Albert,  by  King  Nutwood,  out  of  Wind- 
sorina,  by  Voucher,  that  Dr.  J.  W.  Madara  of  Lexington 
sold  to  Odell  &  Dockrell  of  Chester,  Pa.,  for  $3,000,  trotted  a 
mile  last  year  in  2:23},  the  last  half  in  1:07  and  the  last 
quarter  in  32  seconds.  John  Goldsmith  offered  $2,200  for 
him  last  year.  

There  is  a  horse  standing  near  Columbus,  Neb.,  whose  get 
are  almost  invariably  possessed  of  a  curly  coat,  short  curly 
mane  and  short  curly  tail.  It  is  a  clear  case  of  atavism,  but 
it  is  extremely  singular  since,  if  we  have  been  correctly  in- 
formed, nearly  every  one  of  his  produce  has  this  curly  hair 
from  tip  of  nose  to  coronet. 

G.  W.  Woodard  has  about  thirty  head  of  colts  and  fillies 
working  at  the  race  track,  Woodland.  Det  Bigelow  believes 
he  has  some  crackerjacks  among  them,  and  from  what  we 
know  of  the  Buttons  they  will  tighten  many  a  buckskin  bag 
of  gold  for  their  owners  this  year.  They  are,  as  a  class,  very 
game  and  consistent  performers. 

Wm.  Hendrickson,  of  this  city,  was  offered  a  good  round 
price  for  his  bay  colt  by  Kebir,  2:2S£,  out  of  Fanny  D.,  2:26, 
by  Mansfield  Medium.  This  colt  is  a  perfect  picture  of  his 
splendid  sire  and  knows  nothing  but  trot.  The  year  book 
credits  Anteeo  as  a  sire  of  Fannie  D.  This  is  an  error  which 
we  hope  will  be  corrected  in  the  forthcoming  volume. 

A.  Hirschman,  the  well-known  jeweler  and  ope  of  the  few 
men  who  is  thoroughly  competent  to  repair  split-second 
watches  on  this  coast,  takes  great  pleasure  in  handling  his 
young  trotters.  He  has  one,  a  chestnut  colt  by  Sidney,  ouc 
of  a  mare  by  Whipple's  Hambletonian.  that  will,  if  no  acci- 
dent happens  him,  be  a  candidate  for  2:20  honors  this  year. 

From  all  parts  of  California  are  reports  received  that  the 
interest  in  trotting  and  pacing  races  is  on  the  increase.  There 
are  more  owners  of  well-bred  colts  and  fillies  that  give  prom- 
ise of  speed  at  present  in  this  State  than  ever  before,  and 
every  one  of  these  proud  owners  realizes  the  joy  there  is  in 
driving  good  ones. 

J.  R.  McKay,  of  Miles  city,  Montana,  visited  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm  last  week.  In  a  conversation,  after  his 
return  to  this  city,  he  declared  he  never  saw  such  a  lot  of 
magnificent  youngsters  in  his  life.  They  were  sound,  well- 
formed  and  pure-gaited,  and  among  them  were  a  number 
that  will  add  laurels  to  the  fame  of  their  great  sires  and 
dams.  

Ed.  Topham,  of  Milpitas,  has  hung  up  his  saddle  and 
turned  Minnie  B,  2:291,  by  Billy  Thornhill,  2:24£,  dam 
Laura  R,  2:21 1 ,  over  to  C.  F.  Bunch,  who  will  campaign  her 
this  fall.  It  is  also  reported  that  E.  S.  Smith  has  substituted 
an  ordinary  2:30  horse  for  Dr.  Swift,  2:13,  for  use  in  the 
milk  cart,  and  that  C.  H.  Corey  is  to  handle  the  great 
pacer.  

Mr.  E.  H.  Habriman  informs  us  that  he  will  place  Stam- 
boul,  2:070, ia  tbe  stud  at  bis  farm  in  Orange  county,  New 
York,  and"  that  he  will  not  cheapen  him  by  cutting  his  ser- 
vice fee  down  to  the  farm  horse  basis.  Mr.  Harriman  has 
faith  in  the  future  and  he  wants  none  but  the  best  mares  for 
Stamboul.  The  stallion  will  not  appear  on  the  turf  this 
season.  

H.  J.  Agnew  has  suffered  another  severe  loss  in  the  death 
of  hi6  valuable  mare  Lady  Belle,  with  her  twin  foals.  Lady 
Belle  was  the  dam  of  Lynette,  2:22.  For  the  latter  he  paid 
$2,500.  Mr.  Agnew  has  just  completed  the  planting  of  a 
40-acre  prune  orchard  and  has  extended  his  pasture  a  little 
further  into  the  rolling  hills  adjoining  his  valley  farm. —

Pierce  Bros.,  proprietors  of  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm, 
intend  to  hold  an  auction  sale  of  trotting  stock  in  this  city 
during  the  month  of  May.  There  are  more  representatives 
of  the  leading  sires  of  America  on  the  stock  farms  belonging 
to  these  gentlemen  than  on  any  others  in  California.  Some 
royally-bred  and  very  promising  youngsters  are  to  be  disposed 
of  at  this  sale. 

On  Thursday,  March  1st,  the  great  trotting  mare  Wanda, 
2:17.^,  dropped  a  Bplendid  bay  colt  that  has  for  his  sire  the 
mighty  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15,}.  The  proud  owner,  F.  J.  Burke, 
on  seeing  the  youngster,  decided  to  breed  the  mare  again  to 
Guy  Wilkes  this  year.  The  colt  is  a  bay  in  color,  with  a 
perfect  shield  in  the  forehead,  and  as  he  combines  the  great 
Wilkes-Electioneer  cross,  it  is  not  too  much  to  expect  that 
he  will  be  a  splendid  race  horse. 

Danton  Moultrie,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:151,  out  of  Carrie 
Malone  (sister  to  Chas.  Derby,  2:20),  by  Steinway,  2:25!],  is 
only  four  years  old.  As  a  two-year-old  he  was  bred  to  three 
mares  and  sired  four  colts,  all  solid  bays.  The  crop  of  colts 
by  him  this  year  are  beautiful  bays  also,  and  perfect  types  of 
the  Guy  Wilkes  family.  He  should  be  well  patronized  by 
horse  owuers  in  Santa  Clara,  who  desire  to  get  the  acme  of 
breeding  and  individuality. 

Geo.  A.  Wiley,  superintendent  of  the  Oakwood  Park 
Stock  Farm,  started  for  the  East  last  Wednesday  for  a  vaca- 
tion of  about  thirty  days.  This  gentleman  sold  his  great 
Steinway  three-year-old  colt,  Free  Coinage,  2:11},  last  fall, 
but  still  owns  a  number  of  trotters  and  pacers  that  are 
related  to  the  great  colt,  and  for  which  a  large  number  of 
buyers  are  willing  to  pay  good  round  sums.  The  Stein  ways 
are  esteemed  very  highly  as  race-horses  in  the  East,  as  well  as 
on  this  coast. 


At  Hanford,  Kings  county,  J.  Donahue  (Whispering 
Johnny)  has  quite  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  including 
the  pacer  Hanford  Medium  that  appeared  on  the  circuit  last 
year. 

The  Vigo  Agricultural  Society  of  Terre  Haute,  Indiana, 
decided  about  three  years  ago  to  offer  some  rich  stakes  for 
trotting  foals  of  1890,  1891  and  1892,  to  be  trotted  for  be- 
tween August  13th  and  ISth  of  1894.  These  stakes  now  foot 
up  $47,000.  This  week  citizens  raised  $20,000  for  four  other 
purses,  all  fast  classes.  In  addition  to  all  this,  the  other 
stakes  will  make  a  grand  total  of  $87,000,  the  largest  purses 
ever  contested  for  at  one  meeting. 

R.  R.  Brown,  of  Los  Angeles,  reports  the  outlook  of  the 
trotting  horse  business  in  the  southern  part  of  the  State  as 
very  promising.  He  is  one  of  the  directors  of  the  Los  Ange- 
les Fair  Association  and  acting  in  unison  with  the  others,  a 
number  of  changes  have  been  made  at  that  course.  The  old 
grandstand  has  been  removed  and  over  $10,000  expended  on 
anew  one.  Everything  will  be  done  to  make  this  track  and 
ils  appointments  one  of  the  finest  in  California. 

Peter  Doryea,  the  famous  horseman,  has  been  at  the 
Palace  for  the  last  few  days.  He  has  completed  arrange- 
ments with  Orrin  A.  Hickok  for  the  handling  of  the  Russian 
stallion  Krakus.  We  understand  that  Thos.  Murphy  (of 
Petaluma),  formerly  with  Orrin  A.  Hickok,  has  accepted  an 
engagement  (through  Mr.  Duryea)  to  go  for  a  year  to  Russia. 
Tom  is  a  thoroughly  competent  horseman  and  will  fill  every 
requirement  in  his  new  position  as  trainer  and  driver. 

Classic  Fairlawn  will  soon  cease  to  exist  in  its  entirety. 
The  farm  has  been  subdivided  into  building  lots  which  are  to 
be  sold  publicly  March  28th.  Would  it  not  be  appropriate 
to  name  the  streets  after  the  horses  which  made  the  old  place 
famous?  Almont  avenue  or  Aberdeen  boulevard  would  serve 
in  this  happy  medium  between  town  and  country  to  perpetu- 
ate, in  a  manner  which  never  withers  the  fame  of  the  great 
horses  which  did  so  much  for  the  trotting  breed. 

The  stockholders  of  the  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Asso- 
ciation have  increased  the  capital  stock  from  $25,000  to  $35,- 
000.  This  was  done  in  order  to  give  the  directors  a  wider 
scope  for  improvement,  besides  accommodate  those  who  wish. 
to  join  the  association  for  driving  purposes.  Three  thousand 
five  hundred  dollars  of  the  new  stock  was  subscribed  at  once, 
and  it  will  not  be  long  until  all  this  stock  is  owned  by  the  va- 
rious owners  of  fast  roadsters,  as  each  stockholder  is  entitled  to 
free  use  of  the  track  for  driving  purposes,  besides  a  compli- 
mentary ticket  to  all  speed  contests. 

McKune  &  George,  attorneys  for  R.  Murphy,  against 
whom  Justice  Henry  gave  judgment  recently  in  favor  of  the 
State  Agricultural  Society  for  $260,  have  filed  a  notice  of 
appeal  to  the  Superior  Court.  Murphy,  who  lives  in  Mendo- 
cino, entered  some  trotters  at  a  State  Fair  meeting.  He 
failed  to  pay  the  required  entrance  fees,  amounting  to  $260. 
Subsequently  at  a  meeting  in  Oakland,  Secretary  Smith  ob- 
jected to  Murphy  being  allowed  to  run  his  horses,  on  the 
ground  that  he  was  indebted  to  the  State  Agricultural  So- 
ciety. Then  Murphy  gave  his  note  for  the  amount,  in  order 
that  his  horses  might  be  allowed  to  trot,  and  it  was  on  this 
note  that  judgment  was  given  against  him.  Murphy's  defense 
is  that  the  consideration  of  the  note  was  illegal  and  contrary 
to  good  morals. — Sacramento  Union. 

There  died  at  J.G.  Hill's  place,  Ventura,  Ventura  county, 
last  week  a  bald  face  black  mare  that  if  given  proper  oppor- 
tunities would  have  been  classed  among  the  great  brood- 
mares. She  was  called  Bally  and  was  sired  by  a  horse  called 
Tiger  Whip  that  was  owned  by  Messrs.  Tormey  &  Fagan  at 
Pinole,  Contrii  Costa  county.  She  was  thirty-four  years  old. 
At  the  time  of  her  death  her  limbs  were  as  sound  as  the  day 
she  was  foaled.  Mr.  Hill  received  over  $40,000  for  the 
produce  of  this  mare  for  every  cult  and  filly  she  had  was  not 
only  handsome  and  stylish,  pure  gaited,  fast  and  game  trot- 
ting animals.  Her  sire  was  brought  from  Kentucky  and  in 
early  days  used  to  pull  two  men  in  a  spring  wagon  thirty-two 
miles  over  the  hills  from  Pinole  in 'wo  hours.  He  looked 
like  a  thoroughbred  and  was  noted  for  the  excellence  of  his 
progeny.  Bally  was  one  of  his  best  she  was  out  of  a  Sea  bitten 
gray  that  looked  like  the  thoroughbred,  Ben  Corbitt2:21

The  Bascom  stables  seem  to  be  right  "in  it"  so  far  as 
entries  to  big  stakes  are  concerned,  and  J.  F.  Payne  will 
most  assuredly  have  an  opportunity  to  retain  the  good  repu- 
tation which  he  gained  last  year  with  Mr.  Anglin's  horses. 
The  horses  entered  in  the  great  stakes  aie  as  follows,  and 
they  will  soon  commence  training  for  these  events:  Vallejo, 
b  f  (2)  by  Vasco,  dam  Lee  by  Magic ;  second  dam  by  Clark 
Chief.  She  was  beaten  by  a  nose  as  a  yearling  in  2:38|  at 
Versailles  last  year  and  afterwards  went  a  mile  in  2:33  over 
a  half  mile  track.  She  is  entered  for  $50,000  worth  of 
stakes.  Valeria,  b  f  (2)  by  Vasco,  dam  Chess  by  Magic. 
She  is  a  full  sister  to  Valissa,  2:19,  and  shows  well  herself. 
She  is  also  entered  for  $50,000.  Van  Lear,  by  Vasco,  is 
entered  for  $26,000;  Vaseola,  by  Vasco,  dam  by  Whipple, 
$11,500;  Vesper  by  Vasco,  dam  by  Mngic,  $15,000:  Vas- 
water,  by  Vasco,  dam  by  Vinco,  $5,00M;  Vanish,  by  Vasco, 
dam  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  $26,000. — Kentucky  Stock  Farm. 

Most  proprietors  of  large  breeding  establishments  of  racing 
stock  are  fully  alive  to  the  importance  of  supplying  conditions 
under  which  the  feet  of  their  youngsters  shall  have  every 
chance  of  proper  development.  Paddocks  of  sound  old  turf 
on  a  dry,  porous  subsoil,  well-shaded  and  yet  well-watered, 
with  careful  housing  in  roomy  loose-boxes,  on  comfortable 
dry  straw  beds,  surroundings  are  provided  under  which  nature 
seldom  fails  to  supply  this  valuable  stock  with  such  feet  as  in 
all  probability  will  never,  unless  afterwards  abused,  give  the 
animals  or  their  owners  any  cause  of  trouble.  With  many 
breeders  the  last  consideration  very  frequently  is  the  con- 
dition and  care  of  the  feet  of  their  young  horces.  Many  times 
there  may  be  seen  promising  two  and  three-year-olds  with 
ragged,  split  feet  and  growing  into  all  shapes  but  the  right, 
when  the  most  simple  early  attention  would  have  averted 
disease  or  deformity.  Instances  are  easily  forthcoming  as  to 
the  influences  of  surrounding  conditions  upon  foot  develop- 
ment. Place  two  foals  at  birth  under  quite  opposite  con- 
ditions, each  having  good  feet,  the  one  upon  wet  meadows 
where  its  feet  are  seldom  or  never  on  firm  ground,  the  other 
upon  dry  uplands;  the  first  changes  just  described  proceed 
slowly  in  the  former  case,  and  at  weaning  time  from  the 
meadow  you  have  fiat,  soft,  weak-soled  feet,  while  upon  the 
uplands  they  have  grown  a  good  shape,  tough  and  durable  in 
texture.

THE  SADDLE. 


Dave  Abel  is  no  longer  trainer  of  the  IVIcCarty  stable. 

The  Suburban  Handicap  has  been  cut  down  one-half,  or 
to  $12,500.  

Jimmy  Bozeman  has  been  engaged  to  ride  for  the  Ken- 
tucky stable.  

E.  Corrig-an  returned  last  Saturday  from  Chicago  and 
Kansas  City  in  time  to  see  two  of  his  horses  win  excellent 
races. 


Jockey  Frank  Jordan  has  gone  to  St.  Louis,  and  it  is 
said  he  will  assist  in  training  a  division  of  Barney  Schreiber's 
stable. 

Leveller,  Red  Root,  Ja  Ja  and  the  remainder  of  the 
stable  of  Walter  &  Dargen  are  to  be  sent  to  Little  Rock, 
Ark  ,  this  week. 

The  stake  in  the  Suburban  Handicap,  the  greatest  event 
on  the  American  turf,  will  not  be  reduced  as  report  had  it. 
It  will  be  worth  $25,000,  as  heretofore. 

The  most  successful  sire  in  France  during  the  past  season 
was  Perplexe,  whose  stock  won  $126,080  in  stakes.  The  most 
successful  jockey  was  Clout,  who  had  sixty   winning  mounts. 

Trainer  Robbins  not  only  won  $2,200  on  Hotspur,  but 
won  a  large  amount  on  Mollie  R.,  the  filly  he  named  in  honor 
of  his  wife.  Mrs.  Robbins  went  home  last  night  loaded 
down  with  gold. 

The  Hidalgo — Doit  filly  that  won  last  Saturday,  the  first 
time  out  in  public,  has  been  entered  in  several  stakes  under 
the  name  of  Lillian  C.  She  is  a  race-looking  filly,  half-sister 
to  Dan  Miller's  good  mare,  Charmioo. 


The  string  of  racehorses  belonging  to  Messrs.  J.  A.,  A.  H. 
&  D.  H.  Morris,  which  have  been  racing  at  New  Orleans, 
has  been  dispersed  and  Wyndham  Walden,  Fred  Littlefield, 
Penn  and  all  the  boys  have  returned  to  New  York. 

It  is  estimated  that  the  number  of  horses  in  the  United 
States  at  the  present  time  exceeds  14,000,000,  and  that  their 
value  is  about  $911,000*000.  The  same  authority  avers  that 
the  first  horse  brought  to  this  continent  was  in  the  year  1518. 

On  Wednesday  of  last  week  the  Crescent  City  Jockey  Club 
at  New  Orleans  donated  its  entire  gate  receipts  to  the  Shakes- 
peare Almshouse.  Owing  to  bad  weather  the  attendance  on 
that  day  was  unusually  light  and  but  $634.50  was  realized  for 
the  charity. 

A.  Lakeland  has  purchased  three  two-year-olds,  by  Eg- 
moot,  out  of  the  well-bred  mares  Speedwell,  Bordelaise  and 
Ovid.  The  last  named,  along  with  Kaloolah,  has  also  been 
purchased  by  W.  Lakeland,  and  the  pair  have  been  shipped 
to  Kentucky. 

During  the  year  1893  racing  was  held  over  the  East  St. 
Louis  track  311  days,  which  topped  Gloucester  by  26  days, 
is  at  Thompson's  track  285  days'  raciog  were  given  during 
the  year.  Hawthorne  Park  comes  third  on  the  list,  having 
raced  260  days. 

The  first  and  only  foal  that  the  imp.  Australian  horse 
Paramatta  has  ever  sired  is  now  in  the  posession  of  Major  B. 
G.  Thomas.  This  is  a  fine  bay  colt  out  of  Sis  Himyar,  the 
daughter  of  Alarm,  who  won  the  Riley  Stakes  at  Lexington 
when  a  three-year-old.     

Cloister,  the  favorite  for  the  Grand  National  Steeplechase, 
has  been  assigned  175  pounds  by  the  handicapper.  Ladas 
continues  first  choice  for  the  Derby,  being  quoted  at  3  to  1. 
Bullingdoo,  who  has  been  backed  quite  heavily,  is  in  poor 
condition  and  may  possibly  miss  the  engagement. 

G.  Pacheco,  of  Novato,  Marin  county,  has  sold  to  T. 
Lundy,  of  San  Francisco,  the  bay  two-year-old  colt  by  imp. 
Brutus— Mario,  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly.  This  colt  is  said  to  be 
a  most  promising  youngster  that  has  shown  lots  of  speed  in 
private,  and  it  is  understood  that  a  handsome  price  was  paid, 
though  the  terms  were  not  made  public. 

The  feed  men  are  thinking  seriously  of  hiring  the  Oakland 
course  and  taking  the  horses  they  will  soon  attach  for  debt 
and  give  a  grand  meeting  of  their  own.  The  owners  of  at  least 
five-eighths  of  the  "skates"  at  the  Bay  District  are  wonder- 
ing how  they  are  going  to  make  money  enough  to  pay  for  fod- 
der for  their  Salvatora,  Firenzis  and  Dominos. 

M.  F.  Dwyer's  gallant  gelding  Raceland  is  "old  bones" 
no  longer;  he  has  let  down  and  fattened  up  to  such  an  ex- 
tent that  his  old  admirers  could  not  recognize  him.  Never  be- 
fore, even  during  the  Winter  months,  did  the  old  hero  carry 
anythiog  like  so  much  flesh.  He  is  as  frisky  as  a  youngster, 
and  will  add  more  stars  to  his  crown  the  coming^season. 

A  New  York  dispatch  of  last  night  says  :  V.  L.  Kirkman 
and  Judge  L.  P.  Tailton  of  the  Western  Turf  Congress  to- 
day held  a  conference  with  the  new  jockey  club  representa- 
tives. The  meeting  was  private,  but  the  Secretary  stated 
that  the  Westerners  were  in  accord  with  the  new  jockey  club. 
There  was  no  doubt  that  a  definite  understanding  as  to  con* 
solidation  will  be  arranged. 

Hotspur  has  evidently  returned  to  his  old  form.  He  will 
be  a  hard  one  to  beat  at  the  longer  distances  from  this  out. 
Not  loDg  ago  he  was  sold  for  a  song,  and  was  resold  by  E.  Sav- 
age to  Wade  McLemore  for  the  reported  price  of  £500.  He 
is  now  worth  several  times  that  sum.  It  will  be  remembered 
that  Hotspur  broke  the  mile  and  three-quarters  record  about 
three  years  ago  with  117  pounds  up. 

Another  new  comet  in  the  fields  of  jumpers  will  be  the 
Sir  Modred  mare,  Persistence,  belonging  to  popular  Adolph 
Nelson.  The  mare  is  being  trained  at  Jerome  Park,  and 
while  her  run  at  North  Bergen  last  Thanksgiving  Day 
showed  that  she  can  go  a  route,  reports  from  Jerome  are  that 
8he  is  very  handy  over  the  jumps.  Not  that  much  has  been 
done  of  late  at  Fordham  in  this  line,  but  Persistence  was 
given  her  initial  lessons  over  timber  some  time  since. 

Isaac  Murphy,  finding  that  his  health  is  still  strong,  and 
his  natural  weight  not  increased  beyond  about  125  pouuds, 
has  decided  that  he  will  again  get  himself  into  riding  shape 
and  be  ready  for  mounts  by  the  opening  of  the  seasoc  As 
Isaac,  when  in  trim,  can  easily  scale  at  110  pounds,  and  as  he 
is  at  the  same  time  a  thoroughly  honest  and  painstaking 
jockey,  as  well  as  a  rider  of  the  very  first  rank,  heshould  have 
no  difficulty  in  getting  all  the  mounts  he  cares  to  accept. 


The  news  comes  to  us  that  Frank  B.  Harper,  owner  of  the 
Nantura  stud,  near  Midway,  Ky.,  is  very  ill  at  his  home  with 
the  grip,  and  but  slight  hopes  of  his  recovery  are  expressed. 
Mr.  Harper,  who  is  sixty-eight  years  of  age,  has  been  ailing 
for  several  years,  which  caused  his  retirement  from  the  turf, 
since  which  he  has  sold  the  produce  of  his  mares  as  yearlings. 

As  Wm.  Corbitt,  proprietor  of  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm, 
intends  to  send  a  car  containing  some  choice  trottiog  stock  to 
Chicago  next  Thursday,  he  states  he  has  room  for  a  few  more 
hordes,  and,  if  any  of  our  readers  desire  to  take  advantage  of 
this  opportunity  of  shipping  some  of  their  stock  they  can  learn 
full  particulars  by  applying  at  this  office  immediately.  The 
car  will  be  attached  to  the  passenger  train  and  go  straight 
through. 

Superintendent  "  Bill"  Fieldwick  put  oew  brush  oo 
the  steeplechase  obstacles  last  Saturday,  making  them  look 
attractive  and  something  like  jumps.  The  result  was  the 
horsesjumped  cleanly  and  much  better  than  we  have  seen 
them  do  in  several  weeks.  Men  competent  to  judge  of  such 
matters  declare  the  low  jumps  are  the  dangerous  ones,  and 
by  piling  the  brush  up  it  makes  the  obstacles  appear  formid- 
able, stirring  the  game  animals  to  their  best  endeavors. 

Isaac  Murphy  is  one  of  the  old  school  jockeys  who 
would  like  to  see  the  scale  of  weights  raised  so  that  he  might 
have  an  opportunity  to  be  seen  io  the  saddle  oftener.  He 
would  like  to  get  a  good  engagement.  He  can  hardly  get 
down  to  weight  under  the  present  scale,  and  it  looks  very 
much  as  if  he  would  not  be  the  gainer  by  returning  to  the 
ranks  of  the  active  men.  He  knows,  however,  all  the  good 
points  of  a  horse,  and  ought  to  make  a  successful  trainer. 

Mr._  William  Easton  left  for  Kentucky  yesterday  to  visit 
the  principal  breeding  farms  and  confer  with  the  breeders 
about  sales  which  they  may  propose  to  place  in  his  hands. 
Mr.  Easton  has  temporary  headquarters  io  the  Cumberlaod, 
5th  avenue  and  22d  street.  He  is  making  arrangements  for 
the  future  conduct  of  his  business,  and  has  already  announced 
that  he  will  sell  the  yearlings  owned  by  J.  B  Haggin,  Gen. 
W.  H.  Jackson  and  Charles  Reed. — Daily  America,  Feb.  27. 

Among  the  entries  to  the  Coney  Island  Grand  National  is 
the  seveo-year  horse  Demutb,  by  Ten  Broeck- -Belle  of  Nan- 
tura. After  Demuth's  four-mile  race  with  Tea  Tray  a  year 
ago  last  fall,  he  was  sold  to  Richard  Crocker,  but  after  the 
horse's  solitary  race  at  Gravescend  last  spring,  he  was  sold  to 
a  pair  of  gentlemen  riders.  At  the  close  of  last  season  the 
horses  belongiog  to  the  two  gentlemen  were  taken  to  Aiken, 
S.  C,  where  they  have  been  wintered.  Reports  are  to  the 
effect  that  Demuth  is  developing  unexpectedly  good  qualities 
as  a  jumper  at  his  Carolina  abode,  and  that  he  will  show  be- 
tween the  Hags  this  season,  bar  accident. 

Turfmen  in  the  East  regard  the  race  for  the  Brooklyo 
handicap  as  likely  to  furnish  a  great  battle  of  the  four-year- 
olds,  Ajax,  Clifford  and  Sir  Walter  being  the  favorites  with 
men  who  like  to  bet  in  the  winter  books.  Notwithstanding 
Lamplighter's  ignominious  defeat  at  Chicago  last  fall  by  both 
Clifford  and  Yo  Tambien,  many  still  have  faith  in  him  and 
say  that  if  McCormick  sends  him  fit  to  the  post  he  will  take 
a  lot  of  beating.  He  is  always  ready  early  in  the  season,  but 
it  is  open  to  question,  in  spite  of  his  ability  to  go  the  dis- 
tance and  his  great  turn  of  speed  whether  in  a  fast-run  race 
such  as  the  Brooklyn  always  develops  he  will  be  able  to  give 
the  weight  away. 

An  informal  meeting  was  held  Monday  night  in  this  office  of 
prominent  thoroughbred-breeders  and  owners.  A  permanent 
organization  will  be  effected  on  Tuesday,  March  20th.  The 
gentlemen  interested  will  form  a  racing  circuit,  taking  in 
California's  principal  cities,  probably  beginning  at  Los 
Angeles  and  working  northward  to  Fresno,  Stockton,  Sacra- 
mento, San  Jose  and  Oakland.  Race  meetings  will  be 
given  at  these  points  after  the  prolonged  meeting  in  this 
city  comes  to  an  end.  A  large  number  of  our  best-known 
horsemen  are  heartily  in  favor  of  the  formation  of  this  asso- 
ciation, which  will  awaken  interest  in  racing  all  over  this 
great  State,  destined  to  be  the  greatest  breeding  center  in  all 
the  world. 

Jimmy  McCormick  is  not  finding  Lamplighter  a  particu- 
larly pleasant  charge.  The  brown  horse  has  now  thrown  out 
a  bad  looking  splint,  although  he  has  only  been  trotting  and 
jogging  around  under  the  shed.  This  will,  of  course,  throw 
bim  back  not  a  little,  while  his  disposition,  as  it  has  developed 
under  the  pounding  treatment  he  got  last  year,  stands  not  a 
little  in  his  way.  He  is  an  object  of  great  curiosity  to  sight- 
seers who  come  to  the  Clifton  track  to  get  a  view  of  him. 
The  result  of  anything  like  a  crowd  gathering  around  his  box 
is  that  he  breaks  out  in  a  sweat,  even  at  this  time  of  of  ihe 
year,  and  that  he  gets  to  fidgeting  for  hours  after.  Mr.  Mc- 
Cormick had  a  hard  task  set  him  when  he  undertook  to 
handle  Lamplighter,  but  he  will  carry  the  thing  through,  if 
any  man  cao.  

A.  B.  Spreckels,  the  millionaire  racing  magnate  of  this 
city,  yesterday  purchased  the  John  McCord  ranch,  situated 
about  one  mile  out  of  the  town  of  Napa.  There  Mr.  S.  will 
breed  thoroughbreds.  As  the  ranch  consists  of  less 
than  100  acres,  of  course  the  breeding  of  thoroughbreds  can- 
not be  carried  on  to  any  great  extent  there.  That  excellent 
horseman,  Cy.  Mulkey,  will  io  all  likelihood  have  charge  of 
affairs  there.  Mr.  Spreckels  has  recently  made  some  splen- 
did purchases  in  the  thoroughbred  line.  Everything  he 
secured  was  gilt-edged.  With  Idalium,  the  black  brothfcr  to 
Sir  Modred,  at  the  head  of  the  Spreckels'  stud  and  such 
matrons  as  Repose  and  Caodid,  success  must  follow.  The 
price  paid  for  the  McCord  place  is  said  to  have  been 
$25,000.  

A  dispatch  from  New  York  last  night  says:  The  stew- 
ards of  the  new  Jockey  Club  held  another  conference  with 
the  representatives  of  the  Western  Turf  Conference  yeeterday 
afternoon,  but  the  proceedings  were  not  divulged.  Another 
meeting  will  be  held  to-day,  when  the  Coney  Island  Jockey 
Club  will  doubtless  be  represented.  The  result  of  this  meet- 
ing is  looked  to  with  great  interest,  as  the  Sheepshead  Bay 
people  may  refuse  to  enter  into  a  national  agreement  as  to 
rules,  and  the  whole  purpose  of  the  present  conclave  is  to  form 
rules  that  will  govern  racing  all  over  the  country.  The  point 
the  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club  officials  said  the  kick  is  over 
is  that  tbe  appointment  of  officials  at  Sheepshead  Bay  shall 
be  passed  upon  by  the  club  authorities.  The  Coney  Island 
officers  assert  that  they  can  select  their  own  officials  with  all 
necessary  diligence  and  judgemeot,  aod  they  object  to  beiog 
"supervised." 


Charles  Reed  believes  that  thoroughbred  yearlings  will 
briog  as  big  prices  this  season  as  they  did  in  1893.  He  be- 
lieves that  the  institution  of  the  National  Jockey  Club  would 
have  the  effect  of  securing  favorable  legislation  "in  all  States, 
and  do  much  to  strengthen  racing  in  the  United  States.  He 
says  that  he  thinks  steeplechasing  and  hurdle  racing  of  good 
class  will  increase  the  attendances  at  tracks  where  good  sport 
of  that  kind  is  engaged  in,  and  that  the  racing  season  of  1894 
will  be  fully  up  to  the  average  of  former  years.  He  reports 
his  horses  at  Fairview  as  in  the  best  of  health. 


Secretary  McIntyre  announces  the  following  declara- 
tions from  the  Brooklyn  Haodicap :  Helen  Nichols,  Little 
Billy,  Nero,  Rough  and  Ready,  Domino,  Kinglet  and  Armi- 
tage.  The  withdrawal  of  Domino  was  expected  from  every- 
body. He  was  allotted  3  lbs.  above  the  scale,  and  Taral  has 
promised  to  ride  Lamplighter.  The  crack  of  1893  could  not, 
therefore,  have  the  services  of  his  regular  jockey,  and  ia  any 
case  it  would  not  be  wise  to  submit  so  valuable  a  horse  to  such 
a  gruelling  finish  as  is  generally  produced  in  the  Brooklyn 
Handicap.  Helen  Nichols  bad  no  chance  at  her  weight,  and 
Rough  and  Ready  is  still  an  unknown  quantity  in  this  coun- 
try. Just  whv  Kinglet  and  Armitage  were  withdrawn  is  not 
made  plain,  for  they  were  treated  well  enough  oo  public 
form. 

There  having  been  some  doubt  cast  upon  tbe  ability  to 
Ormonde  to  get  foals,  W.  O'B.  Macdonough  had  the  great 
horse  examined  thoroughly  by  an  eminent  physician,  Dr. 
Rosenstirn,  who  pronounces  the  horse  of  a  century  absolutely 
healthy.  To  set  at  rest  some  of  the  doubts  about  his  ability 
at  the  stud,  it  is  only  necessary  to  state  that  alreadv  Gorgo, 
Cornelia,  Cottage  Girl  and  Maiden  Bell  are  all  safely  in  foal 
to  the  mighty  Ormonde.  The  three  former  mares  are  by  that 
celebrated  English  sire,  Isonoray.  Moiden  Bell  is  by  Beau 
Brummel.  She  will  be  remembered  as  the  trial  mare  for  the 
two  Derby  winners,  Ayrshire  and  Donovan,  and  also  the  dam 
of  the  promising  English  filly  Donna  Bella.  Not  a  single 
outside  mare  will  be  bred  to  Ormonde,  notwithstanding  the 
large  number  of  tempting  offers  that  have  been  made.  The 
deal  regarding  the  great  Palo  Alto  mares  has  already  been 
made  public. 

Just  how  some  of  the  owners  of  non-winning  flyers  at  the 
local  track  manage  to  exist  is  hard  to  say.  Now  that  the 
purses  have  been  cut  down  and  the  entrance  fee  business  is 
still  kept  up,  that  a  number  will  eventually  land  in  tbe  alms- 
house will  not  be  surprisiog.  A  large  number  of  these  men 
can  neither  pay  feed  nor  blacksmiths'  bills  for  the  poor 
animals  in  their  charge,  and  have  absolutely  no  chance  of 
getting  even.  Horses  are  entered  to  sell  for  $800  that  the 
luckier  owners  would  not  take  $2,500  for,  vet  the  poor  horse- 
men  have  to  go  against  these  or  not  run  at  all.  They  have 
not  the  money  to  run  these  $800  horses  up  when  tbey  win, 
for  one  might  by  some  chance  be  knocked  down.so  tbat  there 
is  absolutely  no  opportunity  offered  for  owners  of  mediocre 
horses  to  get  a  little  money.  After  a  jockey  aod  entrance 
fee  is  paid  in  these  $300  purse  races  but  $190  is  left,  and 
this  will  only  keep  the  wolf  from  the  door  for  a  few  days, 
where  winnings  are  so  far  apart. 

The  following  mares  have  gone  or  will  goto  the  embrace 
of  the  great  imp.  Loyalist,  now  standing  at  Agricultural  Park,

Diqgs  was  purchased  by  William  Timmons  of  New  York 
Saturday.  The  colt  ran  in  the  -Etna  stable  colors.  Diggs 
was  named  after  a  well-known  Yolo-county  horseman  and" 
farmer  who  bred  Diggs'  grandam.  We  discovered  his  pedi- 
gree on  the  dam's  side  last  Saturday  in  an  old  volume  of  the 
Transactions  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society.  His  dam  was 
Lilly  Wright,  by  California  (brother  to  Joe  Hooker);  second 
dam  Minnie  Ball,  by  Norfolk  ;  third  dam  Brooklyn  Belle,  by 
Odd  Fellow  (son  of  Jack  Hawkins  and  Lolo  Montez,  by  Grey 
Eagle);  fourth  dam  Lola  Montez,  by  Grey  Eagle,  and  on  to 
ninth  dam,  by  imp.  Flimoap.  We  believe  Lola  Montez  won 
the  first  four-mile  heat  race  ever  run  in  California,  and  she 
was  considered  the  best  race  mare  in  this  part  of  the  world. 
It  will  be  observed  that  Lola  Montez  was  bred  to  her  own 
son,  Odd  Fellow,  and  produced  Brooklyn  Belle,  Diggs'  third 
dam.  The  geldiog  has  a  world  of  speed,  aod  is  a  slashing 
big  fellow  tbat  should  more  than  earn  his  oats. 

The  Sydney  Mail  (Australia)  gives  the  following  account 
of  a  new  starting  apparatus  recently  invented  by  Mr.  Sharpe, 
of  Melbourne:  "The  merit  of  the  apparatus  consists  in  its 
simplicity  of  construction,  aod  the  facilities  for  speedy  re- 
moval from  place  to  place  if  required.  The  barrier,  which 
can  be  made  to  stretch  across  any  width  of  track,  is  con- 
structed of  two  parallel  pieces  of  bamboo  about  eighteen 
inches  apart,  and  framed  together  with  pieces  of  the  same 
material  placed  about  six  feet  asunder,  while  a  strip  of  web- 
bing runs  along  the  center  of  the  framing,  and  gives  the  bar- 
rier a  more  solid  appearance  in  front  of  the  horses.  Two 
pairs  of  shear-legs  are  fixed  at  the  starting  point,  one  on  each 
side  of  the  track,  connected  at  the  top  by  a  light  wire  cable, 
wbich  is  hauled  taut  by  ordinary  guy-ropes,  and  on  which 
are  fixed  pulleys  about  eight  feet  apart.  Light  ropes,  con- 
oectiog  with  a  leading  line,  are  rove  through  tbe  pulleys,  and 
suspend  the  bamboo  frame  already  described  about  four  feet 
above  the  track.  The  end  of  the  leading  line  is  carried  down 
on  the  shearlegs.  Everything  being  ready  for  the  start,  the 
framework  is  lowered  to  position,  the  horses  are  ranged  up 
within  a  yard  or  so  of  the  barrier,  and  when  the  starter  gives 
the  signal  the  weighted  end  of  the  rope  descends,  the  barrier 
rises  rapidly  and  noiselessly,  and  the  horses  are  dispatched  on 
even  terms.  The  apparatus  was  first  tried  at  the  five  furlongs 
post,  where  three  excellent  starts  were  effected,  aod  before  the 
last  race,  in  which  eighteen  horses  took  part,  it  was  removed 
tu  a  position  io  froot  of  the  stand,  where  a  splendid  dispatch 
was  made  without  the  slightest  trouble  or  delay.  The  trials 
proved  quite  satisfactory,  aod  the  barrier  prevents  any  breaks 
away."

Offer  Larger  Purses. 


At  tlii-  time,  when  every  business  enterprise,  every  ag- 
ricultural pursuit  anil  every  ininini^  venture  is  stag- 
nndei  the  weight  of  depression,  the  trotting  horse 
industry,  based  as  it  is  upon  the  success  of  all  others, 
could  not  avoid  the  crash,  and  with  the  balance  it  has  hail 
lo  stand  the  shock;  but,  unlike  them,  it  recovered 
more  quickly.  No  belter  cviil.  ncr  i.fihi-  i-mi  Inl  than 
tip  fact  thai  iations   in  the  East,  South   ami 

Went  are  offering  larger  and  better  purses  ami  stakes 
than  ever  before,  and  on  more  liberal  conditions.  And 
what  is  tip-  result  ?  There  are  mure  new  owners  of 
trotters  ami  pacers  who  are  anxious  in  have  their  horses 
entered  in  the  events  published  than  ever  before. 
The  depression  in  prices  of  trotting  stoct  hoi  started  into 

new  life    a  number  of  men  whu,  before  this  winter,  wcri' 

apathetic  on  the  Bubjecl  "f  trotting  horses,  but  are  now 
very   enthusiastic.       They  are   representative  farmers, 


bankers  and  merchants  who  have  profited  by  the  failure 
of  others,  and,  by  reading  the  able  turf  papers  of  the  day, 
are  enabled  to  steer  clear  of  the  shoals  and  whirlpools  that 
left  so  many  wrecks  along  the  shore  during  the  experi- 
mental period.  Casting  overboard  all  absurd  theories  about 
rich  pedigrees  without  individuality,  and  the  value  of 
owning  colts  and  fillies  that  could  neither  trot  nor  pace, 
yet  were  brothers  and  sisters  to  great  trotters,  they  have 
avoided  many  of  the  annoyances  which  upset  the  calcu- 
lations ol  those  who  were  theorists,  and  theorists  only. 

The  time  to  get  these  owners  interested  in  the  develop- 
ment of  their  trotters  and  pacers  is  the  present.  How  is  it 
to  be  done  ?  may  be  jasked.  By  having  associations  every- 
where offer  purses  and  ^stakes  large  enough  to  encourage 
these  men  to  invest  money  in  the  development  of  their 
stock  so  that  they  can  rely  upon  some  remuneration  for 
their  outlay  when  the  circuit  commences.  Associations 
should  not  ask  large  entrance  fees  and  claim  them 
months  before  the  day  of  the  races.  This  is  the  idea 
which  prompted  the  directors  of  the  largest  and  most 
progressive  association  in  the  United  States  to  present 
the  splendid  programme  they  did  at  the  last  meeting. 

Some  of  the  members  of  the  associations  in  California, 
after  seeing  the  marvelous  success  which  attended  the 
efforts  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association,  resolved  to  get 
large  lists  of  entries  by  following  the  same  plan,  but  the 
principal  magnet  that  riveted  the  attention  of  horsemen 
they  omitted,  and  that  was  offering  purses  a  little  larger 
than  enough  to  pay  for  the  transportation  of  colts  and 
fillies  to  and  from  their  race  tracks.  The  Napa  Associa- 
tion was  the  very  first  to  fall  into  this  error,  the  pro- 
gramme, with  its  conditions,  was  published,  and  although 
the  classes  were  not  as  many  as  the  various  candidates 
on  the  circuit  warranted,  the  purses  were  so  low  that 
owners  would  not  make  entries  ;  hence  the  directors 
wisely  concluded  to  declare  all  races  off  that  were 
advertised. 

The  entries  to  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  fall  races  Dumber 
730,  and  very  few  of  the  horsemen  who  made  entries  are 
declaring  them  out,  in  fact,  a  large  number  who 
did  not  take  advantage  of  the  opportunity  offered  are 
regretting  that  they  did  not  make  entries.  With  such 
an  example  before  them,  the  directors  of  Napa,  Petalu- 
ma,  Vallejo,  Oakland,  Woodland,  Sacramento,  StocktoD, 
San  Jose,  Salinas  and  Fresno,  should  have  the  best  meet- 
ings ever  held  in  California.  "  Offer  large  purses  and 
your  races  will  fill,"  is  the  motto.  When  large  fields  of 
horses  contend  for  supremacy,  the  attendance  will  also 
increase.  This  is  true  of  the  running  turf,  for,  when- 
ever large  purses  are  offered  there,  a  better  class  and  a 
larger  number  of  horses  are  always  entered.  The  results 
of  the  races  being  always  more  interesting  to  the  largest 
number  of  people,  the  attendance  increases.  What 
would  draw  a  larger  crowd  at  the  Bay  District  track  to- 
day, say,  for  instance,  a  four-mile  race,  for  a  purse  of 
$300,  or  one  for  $10,000?  The  same  rule  applies  to  trotting. 
If  the  directors  of  the  various  associations  do  not  em- 
brace the  present  opportunity  to  place  trotting  and 
pacing  races  and  the  encouragement  of  breeding  good 
ones  on  a  higher  plane  by  offering  liberal  purses  and 
stakes,  we  have  grave  doubts  as  to  the  future  of  the  in- 
dustry in  California. 

In  the  East,  there  is  an  uprising  all  along  the  line 
among  trainers,  breeders  and  race-track  managers,  and 
this  question  of  helping  the  breeders  in  every  way  possi- 
ble is  sure  to  be  solved  by  their  help. 

Therefore,  we  admonish  the  directors  of  all  our  associa- 
tions to  give  this  matter  due  deliberation,  and  if  they 
follow  the  method  adopted  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H .  B.  A.  and 
give  amounts  that  will  bring  them  large  entry  lists,  they 
will  not  lose  money,  but  be  enabled  to  have  a  splendid 
balance  on  the  credit  side  of  the  ledger  when  the  races 
end.

Tim  programme  of  races  for  San  Mateo  and  Santa 
Clara  Counties,  for  District  ami  Free-for-all  colt  purses,

our  advertising  columns.     Entries  will  close  April  1st. 


The  'Woodlancl  Programme. 


The  Blue  Ribbon  Meeting. 


When  an  association  like  that  of  Woodland  proves 
that  its  history  from  its  inception  is  progressive,  it  should 
receive  the  unanimous  support  of  horsemen  and  the  pub- 
lic. Not  content  with  surpassing  every  other  association 
in  California  in  enterprise,  the  directors  have  issued  a 
programme  which  merits  the  largest  list  of  entries  ever 
received  by  any  district  association  in  California.  The 
directors  have  the  interests  of  the  'jotting-horse  industry 
uppermost  in  their  minds,  and,  knowing  that  a  free-for- 
all  purse,  whether  Futurity  or  otherwise,  only  draws  but 
a  limited  number  of  entries  from  the  district,  the  arrange- 
ment offered  in  this  issue  should  command  a  wonderful 
change  for  the  better.  The  people  there  have  heretofore 
been  afraid  of  naming  their  colts  in  Futurity  events  be- 
cause they  knew  that,  although  there  are  a  number  of  first 
class  stallions  in  the  district,  the  scarcity  of  choice  brood 
mares  in  comparison  with  those  south  of  the  bay,  made 
the  prospects  of  defeating  the  produce  of  the  matrons  of 
the  large  stock  farms  very  dim  as  the  time  for  the 
race  approached.  The  produce  of  the  choice  mares  with 
records,  or  as  producers  of  great  performers,  in  this  State> 
makes  owners  of  mares  not  so  great,  averse  to  entering  their 
colts  and  fillies  against  them  when  the  entries  are  open  to 
the  State.  In  a  letter  from  the  secretary  the  following 
explicit  language  is  used  : 

•'  This  association  not  wishing  to  discriminate  against  any  one,  has 
included  in  this  district  one  grand  scope  of  this  northern  part  of  the 
State,  north  of  San  Francisco  Bay,  with  the  Sacramento  River  for  an 
eastren  boundary,  and  the  Pacific  Ocean  for  a  westerly  boundary, 
while  there  are  portions  of  the  State,  north  of  the  bay,  that  we  would 
have  been  pleased  to  include  in  said  district  it  could  not  be  done 
without  causiug  trouble  and  annoyance  in  the  future.  Iu  addition 
to  the  district  declaration  purses  and  district  futurity  and  anticipa- 
tion purses,  this  association  has  offered  free-for-all,  declaration,  an- 
ticipation and  futurity  purses  ;  said  purses  being  much  larger  than 
district  purses.  The  aim  and  ambition  of  this  associatiou  is  to  make 
Woodland  one  of  the  principal  racing  points  in  the  State,  by  ottering 
large  purses,  liberal  terms  and  the  best  accomodations  to  horsemen, 
and  in  every  other  way  to  encourage  the  industry  they  possibly  can, 
and,  as  a  matter  offset,  much  depends  upon  the  encouragement  they 
receive  in  this,  their  beginning." 

An  addition  is  made  to  the  advertisement  this  week  in 
regard  to  the  payments.  In  the  declaration  purses  for 
yearlings  two,  three  and  four-year-olds,  entrance  money 
is  not  to  be  paid  until  July  10th,  unless  entries  are  de- 
clared out  and  then  the  money  must  be  paid  at  the  time 
of  such  declaration. 

The  entries  for  all  these  events  will  close  next  Thurs- 
day, March  15th,  and  every  owner  of  a  good  colt  or  filly 
in  the  district  should  send  entries  at  once.  It  will  pay 
them  to  do  so,  besides  if  they  should  want  to  sell  the 
youngsters  their  value  would  be  considerably  enhanced 
by  the  fact  that  they  are  entered  in  these  stakes. 

Then  th°.re  is  a  free  for  all  foals  of  1S93,  purse  $1,000 
the  conditions  are  very  liberal  in  this,  as  well  as  the 
balance  of  the  races,  to  take  place  at  this  track. 


Another  chance  for  the  horsemen,  another  opportunity 
for  them  to  make  their  entries  now  and  pay  their  money 
later  on,  is  presented  at  the  Blue  Ribbon  meeting  of  the 
Golden  Gate  Fair  Association.  The  large  sum  of  $27,- 
000  is  offered  in  purses  and  premiums  while  the  amount 
of  entrance  is  so  low  that  no  owner  or  trainer  can  afford 
to  keep  out  of  it.  If  there  were  730  entries  for  the  P.  C. 
T.  H.  B.  Associations'  fall  meeting,  there  should  be  at 
least  1,000  for  this  splendid  meeting  at  Oakland.  Just 
think  of  it,  $1,000  purses  for  all  the  trotting  and  pacing 
classes,  and  horsemen  to  get  their  coin  immediately. 
Why  in  the  East  for  the  same  classes  of  horses  they  are 
not  offering  such  purses,  and,  as  is  frequently  the  case, 
(we  were  going  to  say,  the  rule),  the  winners  must  be  con- 
tent to  take  a  portion  of  the  amounts  they  win  in  cash 
and  the  balance  in  notes  upon  those  who  have  failed  to 
pay  forfeits.  The  time  has  arrived  for  every  association  to 
boom  their  fairs,  just  as  these  leading  associations  on  this 
Coast  have  set  the  example,  and  horse  owners  and  trainers 
should  uphold  them  in  their  efforts  by  making  liberal  en- 
tries to  all  events.  The  .plan  adopted  of  only  asking 
a  very  low  amount  of  entrance  and  then  giving  horse 
owners  an  opportunity  to  withdraw  their  colts  or  fillies, 
if  the  animals  should  go  wrong,  is  a   most  excellent  one. 

Let  every  horseman  who  has  made  an  entry  or  entries 
in  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  fill  out  an  entry  blank 
for  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association  and  thus  be  pre- 
pared to  make  money  from  the  very  first  meeting  on  the 
circuit.  All  the  other  associations  must  follow  the  ex- 
ample set ;  if  they  desire  to  have  successful  meetings, 
they  cannot  do  otherwise.  The  old  poky  way  that  here- 
tofore lias  almost  ruined  the  trotting  horse  industry  will 
be  forgotten  soon,  because  it  has  been  proven  a  failure. 

Read  the  advertisement  over  carefully  and  take  advan- 
tage of  the  many  excellent  features  it  presents.     There

is  no  need  for  horsemen  to  go  east  when  the  associations 
offer  such  inducements  to  remain  here.  Of  one  thing 
these  owners  can  be  sure  of  and  that  is  the  avoidance  of 
all  risks  of  travel  overland,  of  changes  of  climate,  and 
the   great  saving  in  handling  large  stables. 


Occidental   Trotting  and   Pacing:    Association. 

Everyone  interested  in  the  light  harness  horse  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  is  to  be  congratulated  on  the  fact  that  the 
new  association  founded  on  a  basis  similiar  to  the  Amer- 
ican and  National  Associations  has  been  organized  here. 
The  object  of  facilitating  matters  pertaining  to  all  mat- 
ters relating  to  trotting  and  pacing  contests,  the  retrench- 
ing of  all  expenses,  and  the  consolidation  of  all  the  dis- 
trict associations  on  this  Coast  under  one  governing  body 
have  been,  urged  repeatedly  by  the  leading  horsemen 
here. 

The  delegates  from  the  American  and  National  Asso- 
ciations spoke  earnestly  of  the  inexpediency  of  breaking 
away  from  these  associations  but  the  arguments  advanced 
by  those  in  favcr  of  having  a  home  institution  were 
much  stronger,  and,  on  a  vote  of  the  delegates  the  new 
organization  sprang  into  existence. 

Jos.  Cairn  Simpson  declined  the  offer  taking  the  presi- 
dency, or  a  place  on  the  directory,  as  he  desires  to  be  un- 
trammeled  in  his  literary  labors,  and  will,  being  on  the 
outside  as  it  were,  be  better  able  to  cope  with  those  who 
may  seek  to  enter  any  protests  or  objections  to  it. 

The  officers  and  directors  are  all  able  men  who  have 
long  been  identified  with  the  best  interests  of  the  trotting 
horse  industry  on  this  Coast,  and,  being  capable  and  en- 
ergetic, besides  being  determined  to  protect  and  foster 
the  breeding  interests,  and,  at  the  same  time  punish  all 
who  may,  in  any  way,  be  connected  with  fraudulent 
practices  in  races,  there  is  no  doubt  that  an  impetus  will 
he  felt  in  the  business  from  Vancouver  to  San  Diego  and 
the  Rocky  Mountains  to  the  Pacific.  When  the 
prospectus,  constitution  and  by  laws  are  sent  to  every 
association  here,  it  is  certain  that  the  directors  will  at 
once  send  in  their  applications  to  join  and  make  this  as 
strong  as  every  one  present  at  the  meeting  prophesied. 

The  decisions  of  the  American  and  National  Associa- 
tions will  be  recognized  by  this,  the  Occidental  Trotting 
and  Pacing  Association,  and  the  decisions  of  the  latter 
will  receive  a  like  recognition  in  the  former  associations. 
This  new  one  will,  in  its  constitution  and  by-laws,  be 
similar  to  the  others,  a  few  new  features  may  be  added, 
but  they  will  all  inure  to  the  benefit  of  the  thousands  of 
horsemen  on  this  Coast. 


THE    NEW    ORGANIZATION. 


Occidental    Trotting   and   Pacing    Association 


In  response  to  the  circulars  which  were  sent  to  the  secre- 
taries of  the  difleient  District  Associations  on  this  coast,  a 
meeting  was  held  on  Wednesday  evening  last  at  this  office  for 
the  purpose  of  organizing  a  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  and  Pac- 
ing Association  similar  to  the  National  and  American  Trot, 
ing  Association.  Prof.  E.  P.  Heald,  President  of  the  P.  C 
T.  H.  B.  A.  called  the  meeting  to  order  and  Jos.  Cairn  Simp- 
Bon  was  elected  to  act  as  temporary  chairman  and  F.  W.  Kel- 
ley  as  temporary  secretary.  Mr.  Simpson, in  a  few  words,staled 
the  object  of  the  meeting  and  requested  those  present  to  ex- 
press their  view  in  regard  to  the  proposed  organization.  The 
following  committee  on  organization  and  credentials  was  then 
appointed  by  tne  chairman :  Messrs.  A.  H.  Cohen,  A.  G. 
Ryan,  N.  T.  Smith,  G.  W.  Woodard  and  J,  G.  Hill,  and  in 
their  report  the  following  list  of  delegates  were  noted  to  be 
present : 

Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeder's  Association — Jos.  C. 
Simpson,  E.  P.  Heald. 

Woodland  Association — G.  W.  Woodard  and  L.  B.  Adams. 
Golden  Gate  Fair  Association — A.  H.  Cohen  and  Jos.  L. 
Dimond. 
Glenbrook  Park  Association — Geo.  Fletcher. 
Capitol  Turf  Club— W.  F.  Smith. 
Tulare  Agricultural  Association — W.  F.  Ingwerson. 
Portland  Speed  Association — A.  G.  Ryan. 
Sonoma  and  Maria  Agricultural  Association — R.  S.  Brown. 
Monterey  Agricultural  Association — Jesse  D.  Carr. 
Hueneme  Agricultural  Association — W.  N.  Zeller. 
Napa  Agricultural  Association — Lee  James,  F.  W,  Loeber 
and  John  McCord. 
Oakland  Race  Track — Ben  Wright. 

Melrose  Driving  Club — Charles  F.  Neal  and  A.  H.  Cohen. 
Hollister  Agricultural  Association — F.  W.  Kelley  (proxy). 
San  Mateo  and  Santa   Clara  Agricultural   Association — 
Capt.  N.  T.  Smith. 
San  Jose  Driving  Association — Capt.  N.  T.  Smith. 
Upon  Mr.  Simpson's  request  that  he   be  allowed  to   with- 
draw from  the  chair,  F.  W.  Burke  was  nominated  and  elected 
chairman  for  the  meeting.     After  the  objects  of  the  meeting 
was  more  fully  explained   in  the  form  of  a  resolution  offered 
by  Jos.   Carin  Simpson   and  seconded   by   Geo.  Woodard, 
J.  H.  Steiner,  secretary  of  the  American  Trotting  Asssociation 
was  called  upon  to  address  those  present.     He  gave  a  review 
of  the  work  done  by  the  association   in   the  past  and  quoted 
figures  and  facts  to  substantiate  his  claim  that  the  formation 
of  a  new  association   would   not  decrease  the  annual  dues  of 
any  district  or  trotting  association,  on  this  coast. 

Frank  Coombs,  as  Vice-President  of  the  National  Trotting 
Association,  followed  urging  his  reasons  why  it 
would   not  ,be  advantageous  to  horsemen    on     this     Coost 


to  form  a  new  association.  He  read  dispatches  from  David 
Bonner  and  President  P.  P.  Johnson  in  support  of  his  views 
upon  the  subject,  and  urged  reasons  that  were  new  to  most  of 
the  members,  why  they  should  all  stay  in  the  older  association 
and  not  set  up  a  government  of  their  own. 

Fred  W.  Loeber,  in  a  masterly  and  convincing  manner,  re- 
plied to  all  the  arguments  advanced  by  the  two  gentlemen 
who  preceded  him,  and  called  particular  attention  to  the  fact 
that  there  have  been  thousands  of  dollars  sent  East,  but  no 
return  of  late.  He  also  called  particular  attention  to  the 
large  surplus  in  the  treasury  of  the  American  Association, 
and  then  in  a  few  impassioned  words  urged  those  members 
present  to  stand  together  and  work  for  the  general  welfare  of 
the  trotting  horse  interests  of  this  Coast  by  cutting  down  ex- 
penses, having  quicker  decisions  received  upon  all  questions 
that  might  arise  during  the  time  racing  on  the  circuit  was  in 
progress,  and  keeping  the  money  on  this  Coast  where  it  be- 
longed and  not  sending  delegates  East  every  year  at  enormous 
expense  to  do  what  could  be  accomplished  here. 

Secretary  Kelley  was  called  upon-  to  give  an  estimate  of 
maintaining  an  association  on  this  Coast  similar  to  the  two 
Easteru  organizations. 

Capt.  N.  T.  Smith  opposed  the  new  organization  and  spoke 
in  favor  of  having  the  delegates  remain  with  the  National. 

On  motion  of  Chas.  F.  Neal  the  name  of  the  proposed  as- 
sociation was  changed  to  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing 
Association.  The  ^ote  was  then  taken  on  organization,  and 
carried.  The  chair  appointed  Messrs.  Adams,  Simpson 
and  Cohen  a  Committee  on  Constitution  and  By-Laws.  The 
following  board  of  eight  Directors  was  then  elected  :  G.  W. 
Woodard,  R.  S.  Brown,  A.  G.  Ryan,  F.  W.  Loeber,  E.  P. 
Heald,  H.  J.  Agnew,  F.  H.  Burke  and  A.  H.  Cohen. 

A  Director's  meeting  was  then  held,  and  the  following  offi- 
cers were  nominated  and  duly  elected  :  A.  H.  Cohen,  Presi- 
dent ;  E.  P.  Heald,  Vice-President ;  F.  H.  Burke,  Treasurer  ; 
F.  W.  Kelley.  Secretary. 

Foreign  Sporting  Notes. 

The  bay  gelding  Keene,  six  years  old,  by  Foxhall,  dam 
Revel,  won  the  National  Plate,  a  race  of  two  miles,  at  the 
Nottingham  and  Calwick  Park  meeting. 


Tattersalls'  New  Manager. 


On  the  night  of  February  14  the  famous  mare  Lily  Agnes 
foaled  an  extraordinary  chestnut  colt  by  Ben  d'Or.  The 
youngster  is  therefore  a  brother  to  the  great  Ormonde. 


Harry  Custance,  the  well-known  jockey,  in  bis  book  of 
reminiscences,  considers  Fordham  to  have  been  the  finest 
jockey  he  ever  saw  or  rode  against,  and  he  draws  an  elaborate 
comparison  between  him  aDd  Archer,  giving  due  praise  to 
both. 


Sir  James  Miller  has  a  smart  two-year-old  at  Newmarket 
in  the  filly  by  Wisdom,  out  of  St.  Mary,  by  Hermit,  for  which 
he  paid  510  guineas  last  July  at  the  sale'  of  Mr.  Abington's 
Stud.  This  filly  will  probably  make  her  debut  at  one  of  the 
Newmarket  Spring  Meetings,  or  perhaps  not  until  the  Acorn 
Stakes  at  Epsom.  She  was  entered  the  other  day  for  the 
Coventry  Stakes  at  Ascot. 

The  "  Calendar"  announces  that  the  Sefton  Lodge  Stud  is 
to  be  sold  at  Newmarket  during  the  Two  Thousand  week  ; 
but  it  is  something  new  to  hear  of  a  breeding  stud  being  sent 
up  early  in  May,  when  half  the  mares  will  have  just  foaled 
and  the  others  will  be  on  the  point  of  foaling.  The  first  July 
week  would  he  a  more  rational  period  for  such  a  sale. 

The  Duke  of  Westminster  has  a  number  of  grandly-bred 
two-year-olds  at  Kingsclere,  some  of  which  are  said  to  be 
remarkably  promising,  notably  Orelio,  own  brother  to  Or- 
monde; Blue  Rose,  own  sister  to  Blue  Green,  and  Cayenne, 
own  brother  to  Grey  Leg.  Porter's  stable  ought  to  be  very 
strong  this  season  in  two-year-olds,  as  Lord  Arlington  and  Sir 
Frederick  Johnstone,  in  addition  to  their  own  animals  (which 
include  a  half-brother  by  Donovan,  to  Mfftch  Boxj,  have 
purchased  en  bloc  the  five  best  in  the  Duchess  of  Montrose's 
lot,  and  among  them  are  an  own  brother  to  Seabreeze,  an  own 
brother  to  St.  Angelo,  and  a  colt  by  Hampton,  out  of  Corrie 
Roy.  None  of  the  best  of  the  Kingsclere  two-year-olds  are 
likely  to  be  seen  out  before  Ascot  at  the  earliest. 

A  prolific  subject  of  investigation  to  the  buyers  of  English 
broodmares,  whose  ranks  are  rapidly  increasing  in  this  coun- 
try is  the  tracing  of  winning  strains  of  blood  through  the 
maternal  line,  in  this  connection  Horse  aud  Hound  (Lon- 
don) gives  some  valuable  statistics  relative  to  stallions  whose 
daughters  produced  winners  .the  past  season.  Hermit,  a  re- 
markable successful  sire  in  the  female  line,  heads  the  list  with 
thirty-four  winners  and  a  total  of  $118,560.  Wenlock,  another 
great  Bira  of  broodmares  (sireof  Deadlock,  dam  of  isinglass), 
comes  second,  with  a  total  of  §117,605.  He  had  seven  win- 
ners. GaloDin  (sire  of  King  Galop)  is  third  on  the  list  with 
thirteen  victories  aud  a  total  of  $93,510.  Next  in  order  are 
Scottish  Chief  with  seveoteea  winners  and  a  total  of  $93,560; 
Speculum,  thirty-one  winners,  $80,040  ;  Rosicrucian,  twenly- 
eisht  winners,  $56,030  ;  Blair  Athol,  seventeen  wiuners,  $49,- 
500  and  Uncas,  eighteen  wioners,  $39,825.  Of  the  above 
Galopin  is  the  grandsire  of  Orme  on  the  maternal  side; 
Scottish  Chief  of  Raeburn  and  Mrs.  Bulterwick  ;  Speculum 
of  Delphos  and  Rosicrucian  of  Ladas.  Macaroni  and  Spring- 
field are  close  up  on  the  list. 

The  list  of  two-year-olds  in  Ruff's  Guide  contains  a  fair 
number  of  examples  of  the  pretty  knack  of  nomenclature,  in- 
deed there  is  quite  the  average  of  good  names.  A  few  are  ex- 
ceptionally happy,  among  them  there  is  nothing  neater  than 
Tom  Caonon's  daughter  of  Silver  and  Artifice — "Electro- 
Plate."  That  is  not  to  be  improved  upon,  and  Prince  Solty- 
kofTs  ''Dross"  for  a  son  of  Gold  aud  Cast  Off,  is  no  less 
happy.  There  is  nothing  that  suggests  mention  in  the  short 
list  of  "  A's,"  which  contains  only  twenty-nine  horses,  and 
in  the  "  B's  "  "  Blue  Berry  "  (Gcreleus — Koffee)  and  "  Blue 
Parrot"  (Gerulens — Polly  Marden)  are  almost  too  obvious 
to  rank,  but  "  Big  Ben  "  is  very  fair  for  Mr.  Bonson's  Bendi- 
go — Merry  Bell  colt,  for  "  Big  Ben  "  is  a  bell,  and  perhaps 
it  would  be  hypercritism  to  add,  though  a  merry  one.  Mr. 
Bonsor  is  also  to  the  front  with  ''Chuck  'erUp!"  (Umpire 
—  Hand  Grenade)  and  "Chimera"  for  the  Sheen-Distant 
Shore  filly,  in  fact  is  excellent.  "  Donna  Bella  "  neatly  hits 
off  the  Donovan — Maiden  Belle  filly,  an  animal  that  has  a  cer- 
tain amount  of  interest  about  her  by  reason  of  the  fact  that 
Maiden  Belle  was  Donovan's  schoolmistress,  the  colt  was  tried 
with  her  on  two  or  three  occasions — the  first  gallop  he  ever 
had  was  with  her — and  through  her  his  rapid  improvement 
was  made  known.  If  the  dam's  name  were  t^ueen  instead  of 
Quean,  "Elfin  King"  would  be  a  capital  name  for  Mr. 
Bibby's  son  of  Oberoo  ;  and  "Fairy  Gun"  does  well  for  Mr. 
Taylor  Sharpe's  Oberon — Mitrailleuse  filly. 


Dr.  W.  Grahame  Ross,  the  new  manager  of  Tattersalls'  (of 
New  York),  Limited,  is  a  most  interesting  man  for  a  lover  of 
racing  to  meet,  says  Francis  Trevelyan  in  Daily  America  and 
Mercury.  He  is  a  practical  racing  man  in  every  sense  of  the 
word,  with  a  long  experience  in  the  sport,  and  that  experi- 
ence gained  through  ownership  of  and  intimate  connection 
with  horses.  It  is  funny  considering  the  enormous  amount  of 
Australian-bred  horses  that  are  now  in  this  country,  how  very 
little  we  know  of  the  thoroughbreds  of  the  Antipodes  from  a 
practical  point  of  view.  Dr.  Ross  has  seen  a  lot  of  racing  in 
that  country  and  among  the  horses  that  he  saw  perform  there 
were  many  who=e  names  are  very  familiar  to  us.  Cheviot  he 
himself  owned  and  brought  from  Australia.  Sir  Modred  he 
saw  race  and  the  careers  of  Maxim,  Darebin,  etc..  are  equally 
familiar  to  him.  Of  Maxim  he  has  a  wonderfully  high  es- 
teem. He  thinks  him  ihe  bast  race-horse  that  was  ever 
foaled  in  or  came  out  of  New  Zealand. 

Sir  Modred  he  rates  very  highly  also,  bnt  the  horse  was 
not  the  genuine  stayer  that  Maxim  was.  He  won  at  all  dis- 
tances it  is  true,  but  in  long  races  his  victories  were  gained 
by  virtue  of  his  speed,  which  was  such  that  he  had  squan- 
dered his  field  when  but  a  portion  of  the  journey  had 
been  covered.  Sir  Modred  seems  to  have  stayed  a  most 
marvelously  sound  horse  through  his  long  racing  career, 
despite  the  fact  that  he  did  not  always  receive  the  best  of 
treatment.  After  he  was  taken  to  Australia  he  was  in  the 
hands  of  men  whose  methods  were  not  calculated  to  bear  too 
strong  a  light.  The  second  year  he  was  in  that  country  the 
confederacy  who  were  behind  him  showed  what  they  thought 
of  him  by  getting  him  backed  to  win  the  Melbourne  Cup  and 
another  race,  the  Sydney  Great  Metropolitan,  I  believe,  to 
win  the  enormous  sun  of  £200,000  or  $1,000,000.  There 
was  some  hitch  in  the  arrangement  and  although  Sir  Mod- 
red  won  the  first  events  and  other  races  at  the  meeting  the 
Cup  did  not  come  his  way. 

Cheviot,  though  not  as  great  a  race  horse  as  his  brother, 
was  a  rare  good  one.  At  the  slud  he  got  his  best  son  before 
he  left  his  native  country.  This  was  Little  Bernie,  who  is 
nothing  but  a  pony,  standing  something  under  fifteen.  He 
won  in  a  four-day  meeting  three  races  in  the  first  three  days, 
and  was  only  beaten  a  head  on  the  last  day,  although  carry- 
ing alumping  weight,  through  the  stupidity  of  his  jockey. 
There  were  no  races  at  five  furlongs  and  so  on,  but  two  miles 
and  a  half  and  such  like  distances.  Tattersalls'  seem  to  have 
been  very  lucky  in  securing  Dr.  Ross,  for  he  is  a  thorough 
horsemen,  and  has  his  heart  in  the  business. 

In  sppaking  of  South  America,  he  contradicted  one  or  two 
stories  about  Ormonde  that  are  worth  mentioning.  In  the  first 
place  the  great  horse  was  never  raced  in  that  country.  The 
nearest  approach  to  it  was  when  Senor  Boucau  had  him  ex- 
hibited at  the  races  in  order  to  satisfy  the  hundreds  who 
wanted  to  see  him.  Secondly,  the  yarn  that  he  was  stabled  in 
a  hovel  and  badly  looked  after  was  made  of  whole  cloth.  His 
owuer  has  a  palatial  box  built  for  him  of  concrete,  some 
twenty  feet  high  and  more  than  twenty  feet  square.  There 
was  a  room  next  door  in  which  his  chief,  North  by  name, 
slept,  with  a  sliding  panel  so  arranged  by  his  bed  that  he 
could  take  a  look  at  his  charge  at  aoy  hour  of  the  night.  Be- 
sides North  there  were  three  attendents  to  look  after  his  lord- 
ship's comfort,  so  he  was  not  doing  badly  even  for  a  $150,000 
horse. 


The  Knights  of  the  Pig-Skin. 


Just  here  I  would  like  to  snggest  the  adoption  once  more 
of  the  old  term  of  stake  called  the  "  post  stake,"  to  which  sub- 
scribers entered  only  their  names,  the  horses  to  be  named  the 
day  before  the  race.  A  few  such  races,  with  a  very  fat  start- 
ing fee,  would  always  guarantee  that  the  best  horses  each  year 
would  meet,  because  their  owners  could  always  buy  a  sub- 
scription from  some  nominator  whose  stable  was  not  good 
enough  to  send  a  starter  to  the  post.  And  still  another  sug- 
gestion while  we  are  about  it.  On  all  sides  you  can  hear  the 
cry,  "  Why  don't  they  raise  the  weights  so  our  best  heavy- 
weights can  ride?" 

There  is  an  easy  way  to  raise  the  weights  in  many  races 
without  having  recourse  to  turf  legislation.  Let  it  be  or- 
dained by  all  the  associations  that  hereafter  there  shall  be  at 
least  one  racea  day  in  which  the  scale  will  be  15  pounds  or 
20  pounds  above  weight  for  age.  With  racing  about  200  days 
a  year  in  and  about  New  York  one  welter  race  a  day  would 
give  our  heavy-weights  a  chance  to  earn  at  least  a  living, 
thougb,  unless  a  jockey  were  extraordinarily  lucky  and  would 
win  about  half  of  them,  there  would  not  by  much  more  than 
a  living  in  it  for  those  men  who  now  see  very  poor  prospects 
in  front  of  them. 

It  is  not  every  heavy-weight  who  is  lucky  enough,  as  Fitz- 
patrick  is,  to  become  half-owner  "fa  colt  like  Joe  Ripley,  or 
to  be  able  to  branch  out,  as  McLaughlin  h:ts,  into  a  trainer  of 
many  winners  in  his  second  year  on  the  turf.  No,  unfortu- 
nately for  the  good  of  the  turf,  too  many  of  our  jockeys  who 
have  grown  too  heavy  to  ride  at  the  present  weights  are 
driven  to  "touting"  for  a  living  aud  a  very  precarious  living 
it  is  too.  Look  back  ten  years  ago  and  ask  what  has  become  of 
scores  of  prominent  jockeys-  Two  or  three  years  have  been 
the  limit  of  most  of  them.  Then  to  training,  touting,  i  ubbing 
and  work  entirely  outside  the  racing  world. 

In  1S75  thegreatest  race  run  for  years  before  or  afterward 
was  the  Saratoga  Cup.  Walter  Clark,  who  rode  Springbok, 
one  of  the  dead  heaters,  was  only  few  years  afterward  a  waiter 
in  a  New  York  restaurant.  The  jockey  who  rode  the  other 
dead-heater,  Preakness,  is  still  in  Hie  racing  busineis,  but  he 
is  one  in  ien  thousand.  William  Hay  ward,  by  temper  and  by 
temperment,  was  bound  to  stay  in  racing  either  as  jockey 
or  trainer  all  bis  life.  But  how  many  cases  like  that  of 
Walter  Clark  are  there  to  offset  one  such  case  as  William 
Hayward's? — Chicago  Herald. 

It  now  turns  out  that  Dantoo,  the  much-touted  three-year- 
old,  as  a  two-year-old  late  last  fall,  showed  his  owntr  a  mile 
in  1:42J — certainly  a  good  move  for  a  voungster.  If  Danton 
follows  up  this  form  as  a  three-year-old,  he  should  credit  his 
sire  with  some  clever  performances  this  vear.  Olhtr  tbree- 
year-olds  backed  in  the  Chicago  book  on  the  American  Derby, 
which  is  making  a  big  play  on  the  race,  are  Ohio  Belie,  Tom 
Elmore,  Despot,  Flirtation,  St.  Pat.Uhett  flood,  Visitor.Clara 
Bauer  aud  Brodhead.  The  race  is  arousing  some  heavy  bet- 
ting in  solid  amounts.

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


The  greyhound  Texture,  by  Herchel— Tinsel,  won  the  Wat- 
erloo Cup  this  year.         

Mr.  H.  M.  Tonner  will  move  theSolana  Kennels  to  South 
Pasadena  in  a  month  or  so. 

W.  L.  Washington  is  said  to  have  booked  seventeen  servi- 
ces to  Finglas  at  the  New  York  show. 

The  Continental  Kennel  Club  of  Denver  has  reorganized 
under  the  name  of  the  Western  Kennel  Club  Company. 


The  St.  Bernard  Lothario  has  again  changed  hands.  He 
is  now  the  property  of  S.  S.  Keller,  Richfield  Springs,  N.  Y. 

Mr.  Edw.  Cawston's  foxterrier  stud  dog  Raby  Rasper  can 
be  found  at  the  Ostrich  Farm  at  the  Midwinter  Fair  here- 
after.   

The  Solana  Kennels  will  make  quite  a  showing  at  Los 
Angeles  show.  Amaryllis  is  well  known  and  pretty  sure  of  a 
high  position  on  the  list. 

A  new  interpretation  of  the  "  C  "  card  given  to  dog  shows 
is  told  by  Miss  Whitney.  Someone  told  her  at  New  York 
that  it  meaul  u  Crumb  of  comfort." 

Messrs.  R.  and  C.  Vicary,  the  world-known  English  fox- 
terrier  breeders  have  dissolved  partnership.  Mr.  Robert 
Vicary  will  continue  breeding  winners. 

The  Gordon  Setter  Field  Trial  Club  will  hold  their  next 
trials  near  Taunton  or  Fall  River,  Mass.,  on  Novamber  20. 
Some  entries  are  expected  from  England. 

Champion  Count  Howard  died  a  couple  of  weeks  or  so 
ago.  He  was  by  Ch.  Sir  Allister,  out  of  Mena.  He  was  owned 
at  the  time  of  his  dea'.h  by  Mr.  F.  Windholz. 

The  Woodland  Park  Kennel  sold  the  well  known  fox  ter- 
rier Ripon  Stormer  at  the  New  York  show,  to  F.  G.  Brown- 
ing, Tarry  town,  N.  Y.     The  price  is  said  to  be  $500. 

Mr.  F.  W.  Whitlock,  of  Gt.  Barrington,  Mass.,  will  kindly 
accept  our  thanks  for  a  couple  of  very  fine  photographs  of  his 
setter  dog  Berkeshire  10,144,  by  Foremost — Norma. 

Champion  Queen  Vic  defeated  Champion  Tim  at  the  New 
York  6how.  Our  advertiser,  Mr.  J.  W.  Keen,  of  Portland, 
is  offering  a  litter  of  puppies,  out  of  a  litter  sister  of  this 
bitch.  

We  were  mistaken  last  week  in  stating  that  Ingleside 
Minting,  the  New  York  winner,  was  a  full  brother  to  the  late 
Ingleside  Crown  Prince.  He  is  only  a  half-brother,  being 
out  of  the  same  dam.        

The  St.  Bernard  Club  decided  at  their  annual  meeting  to 
hold  a  show  in  connection  with  the  Hempstead  Farm  Co.'s 
Model  Farm  exhibit  at  Madison  Square  Garden,  May  1-4. 
If  satisfactory  terms  can  be  arranged. 

Mrs.  E.  S.  Avis,  the  well-known  Texan  pug  breeder,  has 
move  her  kennels  to  New  Fort  Bliss,  El  Paso,  Texas.  Mrs. 
Avis  has  added  to  her  already  large  kennel  the  recently  im- 
ported pug  John  Bull,  by  Champion  Loris. 

Dr.  A.  T.  Regensberger's  R.  C.  St.  Bernard  dog  Reglov  is 
steadily  improving.  Hisskull  has  filled  out  considerable,  and 
his  body  is  very  good.  He  will,  doubtless,  go  the  circuit  of 
the  shows  this  spriDg,  and  will  give  a  good  account  of  him- 
self.   

Lovers  of  coursing  in  California  surely  have  a  great  deal 
to  be  thankful  for.  Just  let  them  compare  the  account  of  the 
meeting  attempted  at  Altcar,  Kansas,  last  month,  with  that 
held  at  Newark  on  Sunday  last,  and  we  feel  certain  that  they 
will  agree  with  us  in  the  above  remark. 

The  dates  of  the  New  England  Kennel  Club  show  (Boston) 
have  been  changed  to  April  17-20;  entries  close  March  31st 
instead  of  17th.  This  is  on  account  of  the  action  of  the  Mass 
Legislature  in  abolishing  the  old  time  Fast  Day.  The  dates 
were  changed  to  take  advantage  of  a  holiday — April  19th. 

The  American  Spaniel  Club  elected  the  following  officers 
;it  it-  :uiiiu;il  meeting,  February  21st :  President,  A.  C.  Wil- 
mcrding;  Treasurer,  Edw.  M.  Oldham;  Secretary,  R.  P. 
Keasbey  ;  Delegate  to  A.  K.  C,  E.M.Oldham;  Executive 
Committee,  A.  C.  Wilmerding,  E.  M.  Oldham,  R.  P.  Keasbey, 
R.  H.  Eggleston  and  Dr.  8.  J.  Bradbury. 

Forest  ami  Stream  contradicts  the  statement  of  the  Ameri- 
can Field  that  lo  is  the  best  bitch  in  America  now  that  Prin- 
cess Florence  has  returned  to  England.  We  fancy  that  the 
American  Field's  error  is  simply  in  the  wording  of  the  note, 
meaning  to  say  that  lo  was  the  best  American-bred  St, 
Bernard  in  America.  This  would  be  nearer  the  truth  at  all 
events. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  American  Fox  Terrier  Club  held 
February  21,  eight  new  members  were  elected.  John  E. 
Thayer,  was  elected  president;  August  Belmont,  vice- 
president  ;  II.  \V.  Smith,  secretary-treasurer.  The  Board  of 
Governors  for  the  ensuing  year  are,  August  Belmont,  W. 
Rutherford,  Efollla  llunnewell,  Clarence  Ralhbone,  John  E. 
Thayer  and  II.  W.  Smith. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Pointer  Club  of  America  the 
election  of  officers  resulted  as  follows:  President,  Hon.  J.  S. 
Wise;  Vice-President,  T.  (J.  Davey ;  Secretary,  F.  S.  Web- 
ster; Treasurer,  <'.  I'*.  Lewis.  Board  of  Governors,  Messrs. 
.f  K.  Daniels,  ( -:orge  W.  LaRue,  B.  F.  Seitner,  James  Mor- 
timer, E.  O.  Damon  and  George  S.  McAlpin.  Delegate  to 
A.  K.  C,  Charles  Heath. 


Among  our  new  advertisements  this  week  we  call  your 
attention  to  that  of  the  stud  St.  Bernard  Barry  of  Hauenstein. 
This  is  the  most  typical  St.  Bernard  that  we  have  seen  in 
California  and  cannot  fail  to  improve  our  stock.  He  can  be 
seen  at  any  lime  at  the  St.  Bernard  Dog  Show  at  the  Mid- 
winter Fair,  a  concession  that  no  dog  lover  should  miss. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Irish  Setter  Club,  W  L  Wash- 
ington was  elected  president,  Dr.  L  CSauveur  vice-president, 
W  S  Bell,  secretary — treasurer.  Executive  Committee — F  H 
Perry,  J  B  Blossom,  Geo.  W  Lang,  Geo.  H  Thompson,  F  L 
Cheney  and  G  G  Davis.  Rev.  Robt.  O'Callaghan  ot  Roches- 
ter, England  and  Rev.  W  H  Knowlton,  of  Paso  Robles,  Cal., 
were  elected  honorary  members. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  St.  Bernard  Club,  held  Feb- 
ruary 20th,  the  following  officers  were  elected  :  President,  W. 
H.  Joeckel,  Jr.;  Vice-Presidents,  Miss  A.  H.  Whitney,  J. 
Ruppert,  Jr.,  and  R.  J.  Sawyer;  Treasurer,  J.  A.  C.  John- 
son ;  Board  of  Governors,  K.  E.  Hopf,  C.  A.  Pratt,  E.  Booth, 
W.  C.  Reick,  E.  H.  Moore,  A.  C.  Shallenberger,  W.  H.  Wal- 
bridge,  B.  P.  Johnson  and  G.  P.  Wiggin. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Collins  the  well  known  St.  Bernard  breeder  of 
this  citv  has  purchased  of  F.  A.  Bettis,  the  St.  Bernard  dog 
Lord  Hualpa  21.342,  by  Alton — Keepsake(Ch  Keeper — Lady 
Miles).  This  dog  is  of  unusual  height  and  size  and  possesses 
a  really  fine  head,  showing  great  character  and  expression. 
His  markings  are  very  good,  the  collar  broad  and  shading 
very  dense.  He  is  a  dog  of  unusual  quality  and  from  his 
breeding  should  prove  invaluable  as  a  stud  dog. 


The  Los  Angeles  show  promises  to  surpass  all  previous 
shows  held  in  that  city.  San  Francisco  will  send  down  a 
larger  entry  than  ever  before  and  the  local  classes  will  be  of 
unusual  quality  and  doubtless  not  any  less  in  number.  The 
Great  Dane  and  pointer  classes  will  be  unusually  good  and 
that  the  fox  terrier  classes  will  be  out  in  force  goes  without 
saying.  Mastiffs  will  be  better  than  heretofore,  and  there  is 
a  noticahle  improvement  in  the  spaniel  classes  and  possibly 
in  English  setters. 

The  new  organization  known  in  the  East  as  the  American 
Coursing  Board,  has  commenced  its  work  by  changing  rule 
18  so  that  now  no  dog  shall  run  more  than  two  courses  in  the 
same'day  unless  by  consent  of  the  owner.  The  next  thing 
that  may  be  looked  for  from  these  gentlemen  is  that  no  judge 
shall  give  a  course  to  a  dog  unless  he  makes  at  least  half  a 
dozen  points  more  than  his  opponent.  And  these  gentlemen 
would  like  to  see  the  Pacific  Coast  leashmen  come  under  the 
jurisdiction  of  the  "  Board  !  "     Dear,  dear  me  ! 


The  Irish  setter  Finglas  not  only  won  first  in  open  class  at 
the  great  New  York  show  this  year,  but  defeated  Champion 
Tim,  the  champion  Irish  dog  of  America,  for  the  Field  Trial 
Special.  This  should  encourage  the  owners  of  Finglas' stock 
on  this  coast.  A  dog  that  can  not  only  win  on  the  behch,  but 
in  the  field  as  well,  is  rarely  met  with  and  when  found  should 
be  appreciated.  A  litter  brother  of  the  Glenmore  Kennels, 
Hoodlum,  that  unfortunately  died  just  after  the  last  San  Fran- 
cisco show,  won  second  to  his  sire  (Finglas)  in  the  field  trial 
class  and  a  litter  sister,  Ruby  Glenmore  II,  won  second  in 
open  bitch  class,  another  sister  of  a  later  litter  winning  re- 
serve in  the  same  class.  First  ir  bitch  puppies  was  won  by  a 
daughter  of  Finglas  as  was  also  second  in  the  Novice  class. 
The  only  dogs  entered  that  were  sired  by  DickSwiveler  were 
Kildare  Gladys  and  Sandy  Swiveler,  the  former  was  also  en- 
tered in  the  Novice  class.  Kildare  Gladys  won" C"  in  the 
open,  but  was  not  mentioned  in  the  Novice.  Sandy  was  un- 
noticed. 


The  Eastern  Field  Trials  Club. 


The  minutes  of  the  last  meeting  were  read  and  approved. 
The  treasurer's  report  showed  a  small  balance  to  the  club's 
credit.  The  resignations  of  Messrs.  Hulman,  Merriam,  Hun- 
ter, Carroll  and  Breese  were  accepted.  The  following  stakes 
were  arranged  :  Derby,  purse  $600,  divided  into  first,  second 
and  third,  $300,  $200,  $100  respectively.  Ail-Age  Stake  the 
same.  The  Breeders'  cup  was  abolished.  Entry  fees  the 
same  as  last  year.  The  subscription  Stake  (four-hour  race) 
was  changed  to  a  two-hour  race,  $50  entrance.  Purse  $500. 
First  $250,  second  $150,  third  $100.  Mr.  F.  G.  Taylor  was 
present  as  a  representative  of  the  P.  K.  C,  with  a  view  to 
arranging  a  members'  stake  to  be  run  jointly  by  the  two  clubs 
and  to  arrange  for  both  clubs  holding  their  trials  on  the  same 
grounds  if  possible.  The  condition  of  Members'  Stake  will  be 
made  by  the  president.  Mr.  Lorillard  was  appointed  a  com- 
mittee to  confer  with  the  P.  K.  C.  on  the  matter  at  the  Phila- 
delphia show.  A  selling  stake  to  be  run  jointly  was  also  con- 
sidered. The  details  were  not  set  definitely,  but  in  a  general 
way  the  stake  is  to  be  for  setters  and  pointers  which  have 
never  won  at  a  field  trial,  no  valuation  of  a  dog  to  exceed 
$300.  Ten  dollars  entrance,  and  starting  fee  five  per  cent  of 
selling  price.  Dogs  to  be  judged  with  a  view  to  actual  field 
shooting.  Certificate  of  merit  to  every  dog  worthy  of  it. 
Winners  to  be  sold  at  auction.  Any  surplus  in  excess  of  sell- 
ing price  to  go  to  the  club.  The  club  has  secured  more 
grounds  at  Newton,  N.  C,  and  is  fully  equipped  in  that  re- 
spect for  a  good  trial.  It  is  working  earnestly  to  hold  a  suc- 
cessful and  interesting  competition.  The  Selling  Stake.from 
its  novelty  and  the  restrictions  which  bar  out  winners  and 
field  trial  dogs  of  the  winning  species  (the  limit  of  price,  $300, 
accomplishing  that  end)  is  expected  to  accomplish  much  in 
developing  a  large  interest  and  support. — Forest  and

The  Interstate  Coursing  Meeting. 

The  San  Francisco  Coursing  Club  has  again  scored  a  great, 
triumph  by  the  successful  manner  in  which  it  broughtoffthe 
first  portion  of  the  Interstate  meeting  at  Newark  on  Sunday 
last.  **" 

Every  leashman  of  note  in  the  State  was  present.  Merced, 
Sacramento,  Napa,  San  Jose,  Santa  Clara,  Port  Costa,  Hay- 
wards,  Oakland  and,  of  course,  San  Francisco  all  had  sent 
their  quota  of  dogs  and  sportsmen. 

The  weather  was  glorious — California  all  out — and  the 
field,  after  the  recent  rains,  was  all  that  the  most  enthusiastic 
leashman  could  wish  for.  The  hares,  too,  with  a  very  few 
exceptions  were  good,  and  the  dogs,  of  which  fifty  entered, 
were  fit  on  the  whole  to  try  conclusions  with  any  that  could 
be  found  in  any  country.  Among  them  too,  were  representa- 
tives of  various  climes  and  of  the  most  fashionable  lines  known 
to  the  coursing  world. 

The  English  kennels  were  represented  by  two  of  the  di- 
rect descendants  of  the  great  Greentic  and  Master  Sam, 
through  Flashlight  and  Barney  F.,  while  far  away  Australia 
had  two  representatives  of  its  stock  present  in  Wattle  Bloom 
and  Waratah,  and  the  principal  kennel  of  the  East,  Mr.  H. 
Lowe's,  was  represented  by  a  son  and  daughter  of  Lord  Nev- 
ersettle's  and  the  various  kennels  of  the  Coast  were  of  course 
shown  up  by  the  splendid  production  of  the  old  California 
stock,  grafted  on  the  progeny  of  imp.  Tempete,  Cartright, 
King  John,  Teresa  and  Young  Misterton. 

What  wonder  then  that  the  crowd  that  went  to  Newark  on 
Sunday  last  was  the  largest  and  most  enthusiastic  assemblage 
of  coursing  men  that  has  been  seen  in  California  for  some 
time.  Indeed  so  great  was  the  number  that  the  usual  quan- 
tity of  special  tickets,  printed  by  the  railway  authorities, 
failed  altogether  to  supply  the  crowd,  and  the  ordinary  New- 
ark ticket  had  to  be  resorted  to. 

Immediately  on  the  arrival  of  the  crowd  in  the  Park,  Judge 
Grace  mounted  his  horse  and  Slipper  Wren  stepped  out  leash 
in  hand,  J.  R.  Dickson  ordered  out  the  first  pair  of  dogs  and 
then  commenced  such  a  day's  sport  as  is  but  seldom  given  to 
leashmen  to  witness,  at  all  events  in  any  of  the  Northern 
climes. 

There  were  some  great  trials,  great  triumphs  and  great  dis- 
appointments. During  the  day  there  were  thirty-one  reg- 
ular courses  and  five  undecided  ones.  The  most  beautiful 
course  of  the  day  was  that  between  Byrne's  Occidental  and 
Reilly's  Rollalong,  the  former  wiuning,  and  the  most  sur- 
prising one  was  the  fall  of  Little  Banshee  before  Maggie  M. 
Another  big  disappointment  was  Shannon's  young  dog 
Flashlight  in  his  course  with  Frisco  Boy.  This  young  dog 
has  undoubtedly  a  great  dash  of  speed  but  he  showed  an 
amount  of  greenness  and  shyness  of  the  crowd  that  was 
singular  in  a  dog  of  his  age  (two  years) ;  great  things  were 
certainly  expected  of  him,  but  his  first  trial  was  certainly 
not  a  good  one.  Byrne's  good  old  bitch  Nellie  Bly  made  a 
wonderful  fight  with  the  great  Skyrocket,  be  just  snatching 
the  victory  from  her  by  a  singularly  clever  kill. 

O'Shea's  Peerless  was  another  young  dog  that  showed  up 
well  and  in  all  probability  will  be  as  good  as  his  sister, 
Firenzi.  He  gave  Eagan's  Exlex  a  great  thrashing  and  it  is 
more  than  possible  he  will  go  far  into  the  stake.  He  is  a 
sou  of  the  late  John  F.  Carroll's  great  dog  Monarch  III  out 
of  Firenzi's  dam,  Teresa  Jr. 

Another  fine  course  was  that  between  John  Eagan's  Regent 
and  T.  Cooney's  Queen  Bess,  but  the  former  won  cleverly 
proving  that  he  must  be  a  good  one  by  his  defeat  of  such  a 
thorough  good  bitch  as  the  Queen. 

Buckley's  Garryowen  showed  up  well  and  holds  his  place 
yet  in  the  stake.  Kerrigan's  Dashaway  showed  a  wonderful 
dash  of  speed,  literally  smothering  his  opponent,  the  Aus- 
tralian bitch  Wattle  Bloom. 

Perrigo's  Wee  Lassie  won  a  pretty  course  from  Dexter, 
and  White  Cloud  upset  Longfellow  fairly  and  well.  Roche's 
John  Mitchell  gave  Edmond's  Vida  Shaw  a  merciless 
thrashing  to  the  astonishment  of  all,  and  Barney  ¥  upset 
another  great  thing  by  his  cleaver  kill,  and  through  it  caused 
the  downfall  of  Mollie  S  of  Merced  fame.  Mollie  S  led  him 
several  lengths  to  the  hare  but  on  nearing  the  game  she 
steadied  herself  evidently  for  a  drive  to  kill,*but  Barney  came 
along  with  a  rush  and  snapped  up  the  hare  from  under  her 
very  jaws. 

Depend  On  Me  ran  a  good  course  with  Dan  C,  the  latter 
having  the  best  of  the  run  up,  but  after  that  the  black-and- 
white  had  the  best  of  it  and  won  a  fine  course  with  plenty  to 
spare. 

Another  fine  course  was  that  between  the  Sacramento  dog 
Gile  and  Eugene  Geary's  dog  Electric.  It  was  fought  out 
inch  by  inch  from  the  bottom  to  the  bottom  to  the  top  of  the 
field,  Gile  getting  the  flag  after  a  desperate  tussle.  This  dog 
is  undoubtedly  a  great  performer.  It  will  be  remembered  he 
was  the  runner  up  at  Merced  a  year  ago  when  Mollie  S 
won  the  Interstate  meeting  and  a  few  weeks  ago  he  won  a 
good  stake  at  Sacramento. 

In  the  second  round  another  Sacramento  dog  and  a  brother 
to  Gile,  upset  a  big  pot  by  his  defeat  of  Mr.  Cranston's  dog 
Marvelous  that  ran  so  brilliantly  at  the  last  meeting  in  New- 
ark and  divided  the  stake  there. 

The  next  two  dogs  that  caused  some  considerable  excite- 
ment were  the  Australian  dog  Waratah  and  Mr.  Tiernan's 
Long  John,  both  dogs  were  known  to  be  fast  and  clever  and, 
consequently,  the  betting  on  them  was  brisk,  Long  John  be- 
ing the  favorite;  they  were  slipped  to  a  good  hare  and  both 
dogs  ran  as  if  in  slips,  the  Australian  got  the  turn,  John  the 
next  and  a  kill,  the  judges'  hat  came  oil.  On  the  next  trial  to 
an  indifferent  hare  Juhn  had  the  best  of  it  a  little  and  won. 

Occidental  beat  Dottie  Dimple  rather  easily,  and  O'Shea's 
Feerless  scored  another  win  from  Ginglar,  a  Napa  dog,  and 
Garryowen  won  his  second  course  by  defeating  Frisco  Boy 
with  comparative  ease. 

As  train-time  was  now  near  hand  it  was  decided  to  post- 
pone the  balance  of  the  trials  until  to-morrow,  Sunday,  the 
11th.  Having  run  during  the  day  no  less  than  thirty-one 
regular  courses  and  five  undecideds.  This  left  six  courses 
and  a  bye  yet  to  be  decided  in  the  second  round  as  follows : 

Depend-On-Me  vs.  White  Cloud;  Shortstop  vs.  John 
Mitchell;  Skyrocket  vs.  Jack  Dempsy;  Maggie  M.  vs.  Barney 
F;  Wee  Lassie  vs.  Mary  Ann;  Gile  vs.  Dusty  Bob  and  Dash- 
away,  a  bye. 

The  pools  were  handled  by  the  Kerrigan  Bros.,  and  it  is 
not  too  much  to  say  that  .these  young  men  have  throughout 
given  thorough  satisfaction  to  all  the  bettors  by  their  general 
courtesy  to  all  and  favor  to  none. 

Mr.  Grace  and  Mr.  Wreu  had  a  hard  day's  work  of  it  in 
their  capacities,  and  to  say  that  they  acquitted  themselves  as 
usual  is  enough,  as  no  higher  praise  can  be  given.

"Westminster  Kennel  Club  Show. 


Editor  Breedee  and  Sportsman:  — As  usual  the  West- 
minster ^Kennel  Club  show  held  at  Madison  Square  Gar- 
den, New  York,  on  February  20th  to  23d  was  well  up  to, 
and,  in  fact,  ahead  ot  any  of  its  predecessors  both  in  quality 
and  quantity.  So  far  as  I  could  see  there  was  nothing  to  find 
fault  with  about  the  management,  the  floor  and  benches  were 
kept  clean  and  neat,  attendants  and  helpers  were  plenty,  will- 
in**  and  obliging.  The  only  thing  that  seemed  to  me  could 
possibly  be  criticised  was  the  arrangement  of  the  rings  which 
were  six  in  number,  making  it  pretty  lively  work  for  an  ex- 
hibitor who  happened  to  have  entries  from  several  breeds  (as 
many  of  thejlargest  had)  or  a  spectator  interested  in  several 
to  keep  track  of  what  was  being  judged.  This  incon- 
venience was  slight,  however,  compared  to  the  saving  in 
time. 

Of  course,  everybody  was  there — no!  I  forgot,  Bro.  W. 
Wade  seemed  to  be  missing — and  most  everyone  seemed  con- 
tented and  happy.  There  seemed  very  little  disposition  to 
find  fault,  even  when  the  judging  seemed  "way  off.'*  Of 
course,  the  fellow  that  got  left  didn't  like  it  but,  as  a  rule,  one 
had  to  question  him  to  Had  it  out;  he  didn't  go  round  telling 
folks  about  it  as  has  sometimes  happened.  Most  of  the 
breeds  were  well  represented,  some  very  heavily,  notably  the 
pointers,  collies,  St.  Bernards,  spaniels  and  foxterriers.  Most 
of  the  prominent  kennels  made  fine  showings,  and  some  of 
newer  comers  were  evidently  bound  to  see  if  they  couldn't 
beat  the  old  hands. 

We  noticed  especially  the  Waukie,  Seminole,  The  Gov- 
ernors, Chestnut  Hill,  Davey,  Bed  House  Farm,  Springside, 
Rinada,  Hempstead  Farm,  Thasmo,  Meadowmere,  Meadow 
City,  Nahmke,  Rosecroft,  Swiss  Mountain,  Windrush,  Glen 
Rose,  Blue  Ridge  and  L.  W.  White.  The  pointer  men  came 
out  in  great  force  for  the  kennel  prizes,  no  less  than  five  show- 
ing for  them,  *'.  e.,  L.  W.  White,  Springside,  Hempstead 
Farm,  Rinada  and  T.  G.  Davey. 

The  various  club  meetings  seem  to  have  gone  off  well,  al- 
though some  disagreement  with  the  results  of  elections  was 
expressed  in  one  or  two  instances,  mostly  by  defeated  would- 
be-candidates  we  imagine. 

At  the  A.  K.  C.  meeting  the  election  of  officers  and  com- 
mittees reso-ted  as  follows :.  President,  August  Belmont;  vice- 
president,  T.  H.  Terry. 

Advisory  Committee  (to  fill  vacancy) — E  Brooks  and  Maj. 
J  M  Taylor. 

Stud  Book  Committee — Jas.  Watson,  Dr.  M  H  Cryer  and 
Wilson  Fiske. 

Field  Trials  and  Coursing  Meets — T  S  Webster,  Maj.  J  M 
Taylor,  W  C  Baylies  and  J  F.  Whiton. 

Rules  -  F  Schelhass,  J  Watson,  Dr.  H  T  Foote,  F  S  Web- 
ster, A  P  Vredenburgh. 

The  joint  committee  of  the  A  K  C  and  CKCto  report  a 
basis  of  agreement  between  the  two  clubs  on  the  matter  of  rec- 
ognition of  registrations  and  awards  and  discipline,  reported 
to  the  club  a  form  of  compact  which  is  in  brief  as  follows : 
Registrations  or  listings  received  by  either  club  are  to  be 
recognized  by  botb,  provided  that  Canadian  dogs  are  regis- 
tered with  CKC  and  United  States  dogs  with  the  A  K  C. 

Suspensions  and  disqualifications  made  by  either  to  be  rec- 
ognized by  both  and  to  be  made  by  each  in  its  own  jurisdic- 
tion, and  appeals  must  be  to  club  making  disqualification. 

Awards  made  by  either  to  be  recognized  by  both. 

The  CKCto  pay  no  dues  to  A  K  C. 

CKCto  appoint  three  delegates  to  A  K  C. 

The  rules,  etc.,  governing  both  clubs  and  their  shows  to  be 
the  same,  i.  e.,  the  present  rules  of  A  K  C  to  be  adopted,  any 
amendments  thereto  to  be  adopted  by  both  clubs  upon  report 
of  a  joint  committee  on  rules  for  the  two  clubs. 

The  CKC  agrees  to  register  in  A  K  C  S  B  paying  50  cts. 
for  each  registration,  which  are  to  be  kept  as  a  separate  de- 
partment of  the  stud  book,  and  i6  to  have  charge  of  sale  of  A 
K  C  S  B  in  Canada,  taking  same  at  half  price. 

The  awards  at  Toronto  and  Ottawa  shows  of  '93  are  to  be 
recognized  by  A  K  C. 

The  secretary  of  the  C  K  C  is  to  forward  prize  lists,  etc.,  of 
all  Canadian  shows  to  secretary  of  A  K  C  within  seven  days 
of  closing  of  show.  The  compact  is  to  be  binding  on  both 
clubs  and  can  only  be  annulled  by  either  after  six  months  no- 
tice to  the  other  of  intention  or  desire  to  do  so. 

Oo  motion  the  compact  was  ratified  by  the  A  K  C  and  it 
will  now  be  laid  before  the  C  K  C  at  a  special  meeting  for  its 
ratification,  also,  when  it  will  be  in  force.  We  think  the  com- 
mittee have  succeeded  admirably  in  their  duties,  and  are  to  be 
congratulated  on  having  drawn  np  a  form  of  compact  which 
ought  to  be  satisfactory  to  both   parties  to  ft. 

We  heard  of  several  sales  being  made,  but  as  they  were  all 
more  or  less  private  as  to  terms,  will  only  mention  a  few,  one 
was  by  E  0  Damon  of  his  pointer  Soult  II.  T  G  Davey  also 
sold  the  two  English  setter  bitches  Esmeralda,  first  in  open 
bitches,  and  Monk  of  Furness  Lill,  V  H  C  in  some  class,  to  a 
New  York  party.  Luke  W  White  also  sold  the  pointer  bitch 
Graceful  II  to  Mess.  Sturgis  and  Phelps,  also  sale  of  the  blood- 
hound Berry's  Bradshaw,  first  in  open  dogs,  by  G  P  Berry  to 
Dr.  C  A  Lougest. 

The  English  Setter  Club  meeting  was  adjourned  to  12 
o'clock  noon  on  March  28th,  at  Philadelphia  (the  second  day 
of  that  show).  This  action  was  on  accouot  of  the  absence  of 
Mr.  Fiske,  the  Secretary,  Mrs.  Fiske  having  died  very  sud- 
denly on  April  19th. 

AMERICAN  FOXHOUNDS. 

Dogs — First,  Willow  Brook  Kennels'  Drum  IV  ;  second, 
F  M  Whipple's  Ned;  third,  Seminole  Kennels'  Ranger  II; 
R.,  The  Governors  Kennels'  Rover  ;  VHC,  The  Governors 
Kennels'  Moose ;  V  H  C,  White  Oak  Hill  Kennels'  Zack  ; 
H  C.  The  Governors  Kennels'  Blizzard. 

We  do  not  know  that  this  class  could  be  much  better 
placed,  although  Rover,  the  reserve  dog,  seemed  worthy  of  a 
better  place,but  as  Ranger  II  taking  third  was  not  on  the  bench 
at  the  time  we  looked  them  over,  we  could  not  compare  the 
two.  Rover  seemed  to  us  to  be  in  rather  the  best  working 
condition  of  the  let,  and  as  if  he  could  stand  more  hard  work 
bar  his  size  and  weight  perhaps. 

Bitches— First,  White  Oak  Kennels'  Sunmaid  ;  second, 
The  Governors  Kennels'  Lilly  Dale;  third,  The  Governors 
Kennels' Tempest;  R,  The  Governors  Kennels'  Nance. 

Here  the  judge  followed  the  Saratoga  rulings,  and  I  think 
rightly,  except  as  to  first,  who  was  not  shown  there. 

Puppies,  Dogs  and  Bitches — First,  The  Governors  Kennels' 


Tempest ;  second,  The  Governors  Kennels'  Moose  ;  R,  The 
Governors  Kennels'  Nance ;  H  C,  The  Governors  Kennels' 
Blizzard. 

Here  the  judge  had  only  one  kennel  to  divide  the  pot 
with,  and  I  think  did  it  quite  well,  for  the  bitch,  Tempest, 
was  in  better  condition  than  the  dog. 

POINTERS. 

Challenge,  Dogs,  fifty-five  pounds  and  over— Here  we  saw 
an  unusual  number  of  cracks  together  and  they  were  placed 
as  follows:  First,  Geo.  Jarvis'  Lad  of  Kent;  second,  Wm. 
Ledyard's  Tempest ;  VHC,  Westminister  Kennel  Club's 
King  of  Kent;  VHC,  Pontiac  Kennels'  Robert  le  Diable. 

Here  Lid  of  Kent  was,  we  think,  rightly  placed,  for  he 
had  at  any  rate  the  advantage  in  youth  over  the  others,  and 
hence  showed  better,  although  they  all  looked  well  for  their 
ages.  Robert's  eleven  years  did  not  seem  to  trouble  him  very 
much  except  in  his  looks,  for  he  seemed  quite  a  lively,  old 
dog.  Pontiac's  faults  of  throatiness  and  expression  do  not 
decrease  with  age. 

Challenge,  bitches,  fifty  pounds  and  over — First,  Hemp- 
stead Farm's  Woolton  Game ;  second,  T  G  Davey's  Josie 
Brackett. 

Game  looking,  about  as  usual  in  spite  of  her  age,  which  was 
evident.     Josie  we  did  not  find  on  the  bench. 

Open,  dogs,  fifty-five  pounds  and  over — First,  Rinada 
Kennel's  Prince  Regent ;  second,  Netherwood  Kennel's 
Ridgeview  Tenny ;  third,  G  Muss  Arnoll's  Lord  Bracken  ; 
fourth,  Springside  Kennel's  Ridgeview  Panic;  R,  Springside 
Kennel's  Hylas  of  Naso ;  V  H  C,  J  B  Baker's  Zack ;  V  H  C 
Robert  Leslie's  King  of  Lynn  ;  V  H  C,  F  H  Fleer's  Game- 
ster ;  H  C,  J  M  Lawrence's  Wautagh  Chief. 

I  found  quite  a  unmber  of  critics  who  thought  Tenny 
should  have  led  this  class,  and  I'm  inclined  to  agree  with 
them  and  would  also  move  Panic  up  a  place. 

Open,  bitches,  fifty  pounds  and  over — First,  Springside 
Kennel's  Lady  Tammany ;  second,  Springside  Kennel's 
Kent's  Belle;  third,  R  H  Robertson's  Lass  of  Tammany; 
fourth,  Robert  Leslie's  Kathleen  Kent;  R,  Dr  Jas  E  Hair's 
Devon  FaD. 

In  this  class  a  new  one  came  out  and  came  up  with  a  rush, 
in  Kent's  Belle,  for  she  not  only  got  second  in  this  class  but 
first  in  the  Novice  class  and  the  special  for  best  bitch  sired 
by  King  of  Kent.  Well,  she  deserved  it,  and  I  don't  know 
but  that  I  should  place  her  over  Lady  Tammany,  for  I  think 
her  an  extra  good  one,  and  predict  that  she  will  be  heard 
from  several  times  later  on.  She  is  a  handsomely-worked 
liver  and  white,  with  considerable  ticking  on  the  body  and 
looks  as  if  she  would  have  considerable  speed  and  staying 
qualities. 

Challenge,  dogs,  under  fifty  pounds,  brought  out  two  old 
cracks  which  were  placed  as  follows;  First,  Hempstead 
Farm's  Duke  of  Hessen  ;  second,  F  A  Hodgman's  Arthur. 

Here  we  did  not  quite  agree  with  the  judge  but  would 
have  reversed  the  position,  and  must  confess  to  an  old  liking 
for  Arthur. 

Challenge,  bitches,  under  fifty  pounds — This  brought  out 
quite  a  hot  class,  placed  as  below  : 

First,  F  G  Davey's  Lady  Gay  Spanker  ;  second,  F  G 
Davey's  Miss  Rumor,  which  left  that  nice  Utile  bitch  Wild 
Lily  unnoticed,  Clancarty  being  absent  and  Bloom  transferred 
to  the  open  class. 

Lady  Gay  is  a  very  nice  bitch  indeed ;  looks  and  acts  like 
a  worker  and  stayer. 

Open,  doss,  under  55  pounds. — First,  T.  G.  Davey's, 
Ridgeview  Comet;  second,  Rinada  Pointer  Kennel's,  Chan- 
cellor ;  third  Springside  Kennel's,  Ridgeview  Donald ; 
fourth,  Eugene  Halpeir's,  Bracket  Lad,  (transferred  from 
class  51) ;  R.,  Victoria  Kennel's,  Ridgeview  Faust;  V.  H. 
C,  G.  W.  Lovell's  Prince  of  Pontiac  ;  PhilipIMoeller's,  Tom 
Croxteth  ;  R.  C.  Cornell's,  Roderick  ;  Springside  Kennel's, 
Springside  Hal ;  H.  C,  Hempstead  Farm,  Hempstead  Luck  ; 
O,  J.  F.  Hylands,  Ossinning's  Boy. 

This  was  another  class  of  good  ones,  and  several  that  could 
win  at  many  a  show  got  turned  down  here.  Among  those 
unnoticed  were  the  two  entries  of  the  Meadow  City  Kennels. 
Soult  II  and  Strideaway.  I've  already  mentioned  the  sale 
of  the  first.  It  is  much  to  be  regretted  that  his  owner  was 
not  able  to  get  Strideaway  in  better  condition,  but  he  was 
sent  straight  from  the  laurels  he  had  been  winning  in  the 
Field  Trials  to  the  show — only  arriving  on  Tuesday  morn- 
ing, too  late  for  any  beautifying  and  looked — well  as  if  he 
had  to  fight  for  his  laurels  and  with  barbed  wire  fences  at 
that.  He  was  in  splendid  running  order,  like  a  bundle  of 
steel  springs  and  whip-cord,  is  a  liver  and  white,  solid  liver 
head,  body  heavily  ticked  with  a  few  patches  of  liver,  and  if 
he  only  had  a  fuller  squarer  head  and  muzzle  would  be  hard 
to  beat. 

Open,  bitches,  under  50  pounds — First,  Luke  W  White's,' 
Lady  Grace,  (transferred  from  class  52) ;  second,  Springside 
Kennel's,  Springside  Nell ;  third,  Rinada  Pointer  Kennel's, 
Jingle  Bell;  fourth,  Chas  E  Connell's,  Fan  Fan  II;  R 
Rinada  Pointer  Kennel's,  Ridgeview  Lass;  V  H  C,  Rinada 
Pointer  Kennel's,  Hempstead  Kit ;  F  W  Kuehn's,  Kent's 
Pearl ;  L  W  White's,  Graceful  II  ;  H  C  Rinada  Pointer 
Kennel's,  Brackette  ;  F  K  Pidgeon,  Chloe. 

Here  we  think  the  judge  did  not  get  much  out  of  the  way 
although  a  little  difference  in  their  showing  might  have 
changed  the  places  of  third,  fourth  and  reserve  aud  Grace- 
ful II. 

Puppies,  Dogs — First,  Springside  Kennel's  Springside  Tam- 
many ;  second,  C  E  Bussing's  Fairview  Priam  ;  third,  Spring- 
side  Kennel's  Springside  Beppo;  Res,  Sam'l  Berry's  King  of 
Haledon ;  V  H  C,  Sam'l  Berry's  Lord  of  Haledon;  Rina- 
da Pointer  Kennel's  Rinwood ;  L  W  White's  Duke  of 
Grace;  H  C,  R  P  Huntington's  Kent's  Count;  Springside 
Kennel's  Springside  Donald. 

Here  we  think  the  judge  might  have  changed  the  last- 
named  dog  to  a  higher  place,  for  he  is  a  nice  puppy,  much 
like  his  sire,  Ridgeview  Donald,  but  with  a  head  which  we 
think  will  be  better  than  his  in  a  short  time. 

Puppies,  Bitches — First,  Springside  Kennel's  Springside 
Lady  ;  Becond,  C  P  Wilcox's  Faustina ;  third,  Springside 
Kennel's  Springside  Jill;  Res,  Springside  Kennel's  Spring- 
side  Juno;  VHC,  Red  House  Farm  Pointer  Kennel's 
Saddle;  H  C,  Red  House  Farm  Pointer  Kennel's  Black 
Bess;  Edward  Southard's  Jestine;  C,  Red  House  Farm 
Pointer  Kennel's  Biddie. 

Here  we  think  the  right  one  came  on  top,  but  it  was  a 
close  thing  for  second  and  third  place,  and  either  might 
have  had  the  place  without  much  injustice. 

Novice,  Dogs — First,  Rinada  Pointer  Kennel's  Prince 
Regent;  second,  Netherwood  Kennel's  Ridgeview  Tenny; 
third,  Rinada  Pointer  Kennel's  Chancellor ;  Res,  Victoria 
Kennel's  Ridgeview  Faust ;  V  H  C,  J  B  Baker's  Zach. 


We  would  have  placed  the  second  dog  on  top  here,  as  we 
like  him  much  the  better. 

Novice,  Bitches — First,  Springside  Kennel's  Kent's  Belle  ; 
second,  L  W  White's  Lady  Grace ;  third,  Hempstead 
Farm's  Hempstead  Blossom ;  Res,  Rinada  Pointer  Ken- 
nel's Jingle  Bell;  VHC,  J  B  Baker's  Westminster  Zoe, 
which  order  I  don't  think  could  be  improved  ,on  very  much. 

Pointers,  Field  Trial  Class,  Dogs  or  Bitches — First,  Hemp- 
stead Farm's  Duke  of  Hessen ;  second,  Hempstead  Farm's 
Woolton  Game. 

Here  performance  in  Field  Trials  didn't  seem  to  count, 
or  we  think  Strideaway  would  have  got  the  place  with 
Graceful  II  next. 

ENGLISH  SETTERS. 

Challenge  Dogs. — This  brought  out  two  good  ones,  namely, 
F  G  Taylor's  Breeze  Gladstone  and  Rosecroft  Kennel's  Glen- 
don  placed  in  the  order  named.  Here  we  cannot  quite  agree 
with  the  judge,  Major  Taylor,  for  to  us  the  second  dog  6eemed 
the  better  in  head  and  coat,  although  we  must  confess  to  a 
liking  for  the  type  of  dog  which  Breeze  represents,  i.  e.,  the 
"field-trial  type,  so  called.  Still  it  was  a  case  of  a  young  dog 
in  good  condition  vs.  an  older  one,  showing  his  age  and  the 
Major  selected  the  type  for  which  he  has  always   contended. 

Challenge,  bitches — Brought  out  the  two  sisters  or  half- 
sisters  J  W  Wood's  Donna  Juanita  and  Wm  Bryce's  Spectre, 
Victress  Llewellyn  being  transferred  to  Class  65  (open). Here 
we  would  transpose  the  dogs,  the  judge  placing  them  as 
named.  Spectre  though  not  so  large  or  heavy  as  Donna 
Juanita,  and  having  too  long  and  narrow  a  head  for  our 
ideal  seemed  tons  better  in  coat,  legs,  body  and  symmetry. 

Open,  dogs — First,  went  to  Blue  Ridge  Kennels'  Antonio; 
second,  to  Victoria  Kennels'  The  Earl;  third,  to  Netherwood 
Kennels'  Netherwood  Nimrod;  fourth,  F  G  Taylor's  Ben  Hur 
of  Riverview;  Res,  S  J  Kieman's  Gamester;  VHC,  Meadow 
City  Kennels'  Rod's  Chaff,  D  J  Peters'  Robin  Goch,  Joe 
Lewis'  Drake  Llewellyn,  L  W  White's  Strider,  and  two 
others  Persian  King  II  and  Spot.  Namch  marked  in  cata- 
logue as  "not  for  competition."  I  think  that  if  the  first  two 
had  been  transposed  the  decision  would  have  been  nearer 
right  for  The  Earl  was  in  fine  show  condition,  while  Antonio 
had  evidently  just  come  in  from  the  field.  A  close  compari- 
son of  the  two  shows  then  to  be  nearer  alike  in  type  than  ap- 
pears at  first  sight.  Mahaiwe. 


Pacific  Kennel  Club. 


There  will  not  be  any  bench  show  in  San  Francisco  this 
spring,  at  least  none  held  by  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club.  The 
regular  monthly  meeting  was  held  on  March  7th  at  21 
Kearny  street,  President  E.  W.  Briggs  in  the  chair.  The 
members  present  were  Clarence  Haight,  treasurer;  H.  W. 
Orear,  secretary  ;  E.  H.  Wakeman,  R.  K.  Gardiner,  E.  H 
Williams,  Wm.  9chreiber,  P.  D.  Linville,  Frank  Vernon 
Howard  Vernon,  Dr.  A.  T.  Regensberger,  Capt.  Wm.  Poole 
W.  H.  Collins,  Henry  Huber,  Herbert  Spencer,  Thos.  Biggs, 
J  H  Sammi,  L  L  Campbell,  H  T  Payne,  J  B  Martin,  J  G 
Barker,  J  D  Owens,  A  Russell  Crowell,  T  J  Wattson  and  A 
M  Thompson. 

After  the  minutes  of  the  previous  meeting  were  read  and 
approved,  communications  were  read  from  C  A  Summer,  Sec- 
retary of  the  Southern  California  Kennel  Club,  in  regard  to 
dates  and  judges,  and  from  the  pioneer  St,  Bernard  breeder, 
K  E  Honf,  the  former  owner  of  Ch.  Otho,  Ch.  Gemma  I.  and 
Ch.  Hector,  asking  for  information  regarding  the  show,  pro- 
offering  his  assistance  either  as  judge  or  exhibitor. 

Under  the  head  of  welfare  of  the  club  Mr.  E  H  Wakeman 
made  a  strong  argument  in  favor  of  reconsidering  the  action 
of  the  club  in  regard  to  holding  a  show  this  year.  In  con- 
clusion he  made  a  motion  that  the  club  reconsider  the  motion 
made  at  the  last  meeting.  Mr.  Briggs  declined  to  entertain 
the  motion,  declaring  it  out  of  order.  Mr.  Wakeman  then 
made  a  motion  to  rescind.  Mr.  Briggs  ruled  this  motion  out 
also,  claiming  that  it  was  out  of  order,  and  giving  his  author- 
ity for  such  ruling. 

Messrs.  Wattson,  Haight  and  Orear  replied  to  the  argument 
and  gave  their  reasons  for  thinking  that  the  show  would  fail 
to  pay  expenses  this  year.  Their  argument  was  good,  Mr. 
Watson's  especially  so,  but  as  the  reasons  they  gave  exist  only 
in  their  own  minds,  their  eloquence  fell  very  flat  in  the  esti- 
mation of  those  who  favor  the  show. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Martin  made  a  strong  argument  in  favor  of  the 
show  being  held  this  year,  even  if  it  had  to  be  postponed  un- 
til fall.  Dr.  Regensburger  and  J.  G.  Barker  also  spoke  in 
favor  of  a  show.  After  considerable  argument  pro  and  con 
Mr.  Wakeman  appealed  from  the  decision  of  the  chair. 
When  put  to  the  house  the  chair  was  sustained  by  a  voteot 
12  to  8. 

This  should  not  be  misconstrued  into  a  vote  of  "show  or 
no  show."  It  was  simply  a  vole  on  the  decision  of  the  chair- 
man. While  not  much  of  a  parliamentarian,  we  believe  the 
chair  to  have  been  in  the  wrong.  Under  the  sama  ruling  a 
quorum  of  the  members  could,  at  any  regular  meeting  of  the 
club,  disband  the  club  and  use  the  money  in  bank  as  they 
saw  fit,  and,  the  club,  as  a  whole,  would  have  no  redress  what- 
ever. 

We  wish  to  go  on  record  as  being  strongly  in  favor  of 
holding  a  show  this  Spring.  The  sources  of  income  are  from 
entries  and  attendance,  by  May -next  the  city  patrons  of  the 
bench  shows  will  have  seen  the  Fair  many  times  over  and 
even  if  thev  have  not,  they  will  still  have  three  months  in 
which  to  visit  the  Fair.  In  addition  to  the  regular  patrons, 
the  city  will  be  full  of  strangers,  and  many  of  them  would 
gladlv  embrace  the  opportunity  of  visiting  a  dog  show — a 
novelty  to  the  majority.  As  to  the  entry,  there  is  every  in- 
dication that  it  would  have  been  larger  than  ever.  We  think 
the  club  have  made  a  grave  mistake.  They  have  lost  the 
confidence  of  the  dog  loving  public  and  it  will  take  many 
months  for  them  to  win  it  back.  The  question  of  hall  was 
not  considered  in  the  argument  at  all.  It  was  the  opinion  of 
the  officers  that  it  would  be  a  failure,  (an  opinion  that  they 
had  no  moral  right  to  entertain).  It  was  tbe  opinion  of  a 
great  majority  of  the  membors  that  it  would  pay,  but  the 
ruling  of  the  chair,  stopped  the  argument  and  prevented  the 
matter  from  being  reconsidered. 

At  the  regular  monthly  meeting  on  January  3d  Mr.  T.  J. 
Wattson  moved,  C.  A.  Haight  seconded  and  the  club  unani- 
mously carried  the  motion  that  the  secretary  be  instructed  to 
file  charges  against  Mr.  E.  P.  Schell  before  the  A.  K.  C.  Mr. 
Watson  very  pertinently  requested  that  the  secretary  state 
his  reasons  for  not  obeying  his  instructions  in  regard  to  the 
matter.  Mr.  Orear  replied  that  it  would  be  attended  to 
shortly.  After  two  months'  delay  we  should  think  ^it  were 
about  time  that  the  secretary  did  something  in  this  matter.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


Two  hundred  dozen  birds  have  been  contracted  for  for  the 
St ite  Sportsmen's  Association's  Midwinter  Fair  Tourna- 
ment.   

The  prospects  for  a  most  successful  tournament  on  April 
5  8  are  very  bright,  lu  addition  to  a  very  large  local  at- 
tendance, the  sportsmen  of  Oregon  and  Washington  will  time 
their  visits  to  the  Midwinter  Exposition,  so  that  they  can 
participate  in  the  tournament. 

Mr.  S.  A.  Tucker,  the  well-known  trap  shot  and  popular 
representative  of  the  Parker  gun,  will  leave  this  city  in  a  few 
days  for  the  north.  His  itinerary  includes  Portland,  Seattle, 
Taeoma  and  the  middle  Northwest.  Mr.  Tucker  is  justly 
popular  and  his  visits  to  this  coast  are  looked  forward  to  with 
pleasure  by  our  local  sportsmen  and  the  trade.

California  WiDg-Shooting  Club. 


The  first  shoot  of  the  season  of  the  California  Wing- 
Shooting  Club  was  held  on  Sunday  last  at  Oakland  Eace 
Track.  The  attendance  was  very  good  and  the  weather  all 
that  could  be  desired.  The  birds  were  mostly  strong  flyers, 
though  quite  a  number  during  the  latter  part  of  the  day  were 
"squatters."     In  the  morning  they  flew  splendidly. 

In  the  regular  monthly  match  Ed  Fay  won  the  first-class 
medal  and  a  toilet  set  with  eleven  birds.  Crittenden  Robin- 
son took  the  second-class  medal  and  a  pair  of  hunting  shoes 
with  ten.  "  Slade,"  who  also  killed  ten,  but  was  beaten  by 
Robinson  in  the  Bhoot-off,  took  the  third-class  medal  and  a 
shooting  hat.  Mr.  Golcher  also  killed  ten,  but  did  not  shoot 
in  the  tie.  Mr.  S.  A.  Tucker,  agent  for  the  Parker  Gun  Co., 
killed  alt  of  his  birds,  most  of  them  very  near  the  traps.  Not 
being  a  member  of  the  club  he  did  not  win  any  of  the  prizes, 
hut  won  the  sweepstake  which  Messrs.  Robinson,  "Slade," 
Fay  and  himself  had  previously  arranged  as  a  side  issue. 
"Johnson,1  who  also  killed  eleven  is  not  a  member  of  the 
club.  Mr.  Robinson  lost  his  eighth  bird,  dead  out  of  bounds, 
"Jackson"  his  seventh  from  the  same  cause,  "Smith"  his 
tir»t  and  third. 

Mr.  Van  SI  J  Ice  was  suffering  from  a  badly  sprained  wrist, 
am)  it  is  a  wonder  that  hesucceeded  in  killing  as  mauy  birds 
at  he  did.  Two  of  his  "goose  eggs"  were  represented  by 
birdi  dead  oul  of  bounds.  A.  Russell  Crowell  officiated  as 
referee.     The  score:

A  Sportsman's  Convention. 

A  sportsman's  convention  has  been  called  by  the  State 
Sportsman's  Association  for  April  10th  next  in  this  city,  that 
in  our  estimation  will  eventually  accomplish  more  toward 
perfecting  our  game  laws  and  protecting  the  game  iuterests 
of  this,  the  greatest  of  game  States,  than  all  other  conven- 
tions, the  commissioners  and  private  eflbrt  has  accomplished 
in  the  past  ten — yes,  twenty  years.  The  successful  bringing 
of  this  convention  to  a  focus  has  been  accomplished  through 
the  efforts  of  the  State  Sportsmen's  Association,  or,  more 
properly  speaking,  of  its  worthy  President,  Mr.  Crittenden 
Robinson. 

Governor  Markham  has  appointed  the  following  delegates 
at  large  from  among  the  most  popular  and  best  informed 
sportsmen  in  the  State:  From  San  Francisco,  Judge  Joseph 
McKenna,  Crittenden  Kobinson,  W  \V  Foote,  W  S  Kittle, 
Harry  Babcock.  S  E  Knowles  and  J  O  Cadman;  Sacramento, 
W  E  Gerber  and  C  N  Post;  Grass  Valley,  Dr  I  W  Hayes; 
Colusa;  H  M  Albery;  San  Diego,  Leonard  Goodman;  Oakland, 
F  W  Henshaw;  Chico,  Park  Henshaw;  Los  Angeles,  H  M 
Macneil;  Yreka,  Dr  H  D  Robertson;  Salinas,  Judge  A  Dorn; 
Riverside,  A  W  Bruner;  San  Bernardino,  H  M  Willis;  San 
Benito,  Senator  Thomas  Flint  Jr. 

The  Boards  of  Supervisors  of  each  and  every  county  in  the 
State  have  been  requested  to  appoint  two  representative 
sportsmen  from  each  county  to  act  as  delegates  to  the  con- 
vention. 

The  following  letter  has  been  mailed  to  each  Board  and 
several  appointments  have  already  been  made.  Every  county 
will  assuredly  be  represented  by  representative  men. 

State  Sportsmen's  Association,  t 
San  Francisco,  March  1, 1S94.  \ 
To  the  Hon.  Board  of  Supervisors: 

lu  conformity  with  a  resolution  passed  at  the  annual  meeting  of 
the  California  State  Sportsmen's  Association,  a  convention  is  called 
to  meet  in  this  city  April  10,  1894,  to  recommend  to  the  incoming 
Legislature  the  necessary  amendments  to  our  State  Game  Laws,  and 
also  to  recommend  adequate  provision  for  the  enforcement  thereof. 

Two  delegates  Irom  each  county  appointed  by  its  Board  of  Super- 
visors and  twenty  delegates  at  large  appointed  by  the  Governor  will 
constitute  the  convention. 

We  very  respecttully  beg  to  call  your  attention  to  the  importance 
of  the  work  contemplated,  affecting  as  it  does  an  interest  to  every 
citizen  of  Califoruia,  not  only  for  the  present  but  for  all  future  time. 
We  shouid  profit  by  the  di-sastrous  experience  of  the  older  settled 
States  and  preserve  for  ourselves,  and  to  those  who  come  after  us,  the 
varied  name  species  of  our  State,  as  far  as  conservative,  timely  and 
wise  legislation  can  accomplish  this  much  desired  end.  This  legisla- 
tion must  be  speedily  had,  or  not  at  all ;  it  will  be  ton  late. 

The  Governor  has  signified  his  intention  of  appointing  to  the  Con- 
vention only  representative  citizens  of  the  State,  thoroughly  conver- 
sant with  the  work  in  hand,  and  we  take  the  liberty  of  giving  ex- 
pression to  the  hope  that  you  will  be  governed  by  the  same  motive 
in  making  your  appointments. 

Please  acknowledge  receipt  hereof  and  advise  us  as  early  as  is  con- 
venient of  your  action  herein. 

By  order  of  the  Board  of  Directors. 

E.  L.  Bosgm,  Acl in g Secretary, 

201  San  some  Street. 

From  this  gathering  of  sportsmen  from  all  parts  of  the 
State  it  is  expected  that  desiiable  amendments  to  the  exist- 
ing State  game  laws  will  emanate,  that  can  be  recommended 
to  the  Legislature  and  by  united  elf  or  t  passe.'.  Another 
and  fully  as  important  an  object  of  the  convention  is  to 
make  sd  qnate  provision  for  the  enforcement  of  the  laws 
when  they  shall  te2ome  such. 

Our  personal  idea  of  the  solution  of  the  problem  is  the 
appointment  of  game  wardens  for  each  and  every  county.  Our 
space  is  so  completely  6IIed  this  week  we  cannot  go  into  de- 
tails, but  in  our  next  issue  we  will  describe  the  systems  in 
vogue  in  some  of  the  best  protecU  d  States. 

The  futile  effort  of  the  so-called  Sportsmen's  Protective  As- 
sociation, in  a  daily  paper  of  recent  date,  to  throw  cold  water 
upon  this  most  laudable  project,  is  deserving  of  the  condem- 
nation of  all  true  sportsmen.  One  could  scarcely  conceive  of 
a  more  f/isportsmanlike  action.  Moreover  it  is  false  in  its 
deductions. 

The  article  states:  "Of  the  ten  delegates  no  less  than  three 
of  them  from  this  city  are  members  of  the  Country  Club."  Of 
the  twenty  members  appointed  bv  the  Governor  two  or  three 
(we  are  not  sure  which)  are  members  of  the  Country  Club. 
Two  of  these  gentlemen  we  are  well  acquainted  with  and  we 
know  of  no  sportsmen  in  California  that  are  equally  enthu- 
siastic on  the  subject  of  game  protection  throughout  the  State, 
and  equally  willing  to  put  their  own  shoulders  to  the  wheel  to 
assist  the  cause.  A  few  of  the  delegales  at  large  supported 
certain  claueesin  the  Emeric  bill, that  thecountry  would  have 
been  benetited  by  had  they  been  passed,  but  what  kiud  of  a 
convention  would  we  have,  if  all  sides  of  the  argument  were 
not  presented.  There"will  be  13b'  delegates  appointed  to  at- 
teud  this  convention,  the  majority  of  them  wul  atlend.  Those 
delegates  will  he  instructed  by  the  sportsmen  of  the  counties 
they  represent.  Tbis  State  is  of  great  area  and  laws  made  by 
San  BVaDCiBCO  sportsmen  are  of  necessity  obnoxious  to  the 
sportsmen  of  Siskiyou  and  San  Diego  counties,  they  beiug  so 
wide  apart  that  the  conditions  di Her  greatly.  This  gathering 
will  be  thoroughly  representative  and  if  properly  conducted, 
cannot  fail  to  accomplish  great  good. 

The  illusion  that  is  the  cause  of  the  article  referred  to  is 
the  false  and  conceited  idea  of  said  club  that  it  represents 
'' the  rgreat  mass  of  Sportsmen,"  and  the  realization  of  the 
galling  fact  that  the  club  did  not  contain  brains  enough  to 
conceive  8"ch  a  convention  nor  the  influence  to  bring  it  to  a 
successful  issue.  In  short,  jealousy  and  the  very  human  de- 
sire tortiin  what  it  cannot  rule.

How  "We  Saw  the  Great  Sea  Serpent  in  Assam 


Sut. — This  is  a  true  story,  though  I  fancy  you  will  look  at 
the  heading,  and  shake  your  head  doubtfully  at  theassertion. 
Well,  this  is  how  it  happened.  The  other  day  three  old  pals 
of  mine,  Bill.  Pill  and  Garlic,  sent  to  say  they  were  coming 
to  the  benighted  corner  of  our  Mother  Earth  in  which  I  have 
pitched  my  camp,  to  have  a  few  days'  fishing.  Not  the  least 
among  my  blessings  do  I  number  the  neighboring  stream, 
with  its  one  or  two  good  pools,  and  those  who  do  visit  me 
with  rod  and  line  very  seldom  complain!  of  the  sport.  This 
time  it  so  happened  that  some  of  the  rods  were  lost  but  the 
sport  was  good  all  tthe  same.  First  Pill  and  Garlic  turned 
up  in  a  very  good  humor — this  frame  of  mind  is  rare  amongst 
those  who  have  survived  the  journey  here  from  the  outer 
world — but  Bill  did  not  make  his  appearance.  We  decided 
that  most  probably  he  had  stuck  in  the  mud  on  the  way,  and 
was  undergoing  the  process  of  fossilizalion. 

We  had  a  merry  night:  next  morning  started  off  to  our 
fishing  ground,  pitched  our  camp  on  the  sands  of  a  small 
stream  which  joins  my  river  just  above  a  glorious  pool.  It 
rained  a  bit  in  the  night,  and  Garlic  talked  a  little  strongly 
of  his  bad  luck,  but  when  in  the  morning  he  found  bis  rods 
had  gone  of!  another  way,  Oh  !  it  was  perfectly  shocking. 
Pill,  like  a  real  sportsman,  was  off  early,  and  worked  till  dark 
while  I  looked  after  Garlic.  The  evening  was  dreadfully  dull, 
what  with  no  fish  one  man,  no  rod  the  other,  and  the  non- 
appearance of  the  ihird  with  all  the  liquor. 

The  next  day  the  prospect  improved.  A  rod  was  fixed  up 
for  Garlic  with  the  help  of  a  bamboo.  Bill  and  the  liquor 
turned  up,  the  sun  came  out  and  good  humor  reigned  supreme. 
In  the  evening  we  sat  round  the  camp-fire,  each  relating  the 
events  of  the  day,  and  bemoaning  the  spoons  he  had  lost  and 
the  many  40-pounders  that  had  got  off"  just  as  they  were  being 
landed.  An  elderly  gentleman  who  was  exploring  up  the 
stream  bad  joined  our  camp  for  dinner.  He  knew  a  lot  about 
things  in  general,  and  kept  the  pot  a-boiling  wilh  many  a 
queer  yarn  ;  so  it  was  getting  late  when  we  were  yawningly 
rising  to  turn  in.  All  of  a  sudden  there  was  a  huge  splashing 
up  stream,  and  we  rushed  to  see  what  was  going  on.  The 
bright  moonlight  was  shining  ou  the  river  and  revealed  to  our 
amazement  a  long,  black,  shiny,  serpent-like  object  floating 
down  with  the  current,  but  evidently  making  for  the  other 
bank.  Its  huge,  unwieldy  body  (it  must  have  been  twenty 
feet  long)  looked  like  a  series  of  blobs,  and  on  ils  head  was  a 
large  while  patch,  and  as  it  slowly  raised  itself  out  of  the 
water  and  disappeared  again,  we  saw  it  moving  two  small 
fins.  It  took  a  long  time  to  get  over,  this  great  sluggish 
mass,  and  we  watched  it  awestricken.  When  at  last  it  van- 
ished in  the  shadow  of  the  other  bank,  I  do  not  think  you 
could  have  found  five  more  petrified  mummies  in  all  Egypt 
than  we  five  were  then.  The  spell  was  broken  by  our  elderly 
friend,  who  exclaimed:  "  Why,  it's  the  great  Sea  Serpent! 
I  saw  it  exactly  the  same  when  I  was  boatswain  on  Her 
Majesty's  ship  Sapphira  in  the  Mediterranean  in  18u7,  and 
no  one  believed  us  or  the  officers  themselves,  and  that  big 
man  Professor  Owen  called  us — well,  I  don't  like  to  say 
what." 

The  next  morning  we  all  looked  at  each  other,  but  did  not 
like  to  speak.  Garlic  made  some  remark  about  the  mistake 
of  keeping  guns  and  cartridges  in  cases  when  in  camp,  and 
Bill  stated  that  people  should  follow  the  example  of  the 
Mounted  Rifles  and  be  ready  for  any  emergency.  I  said 
nothing,  but  I  must  say  I  felt  small.  I  could  not  disbelieve 
my  own  eyes,  yet  I  could  not  bring  myself  to  say  I  had  seen 
"the  great  Sea  Serpent."  I  have  been  so  often  doubted  when 
telling  tales  of  sporting  adventures  that  it  has  uatually  made 
me  shy  of  telling  them  often.  However,  I  thought,  I  might 
cautiously  approach  the  subject  as  I  was  fishing  with  an  old 
boatman.     This  is  the  explanation  I  got. 

Just  opposite  our  camp  ou  the  other  tide  of  the  river  there 
is  a  small  tea  garden,  and  the  coolies  there  are  adepts  at  mak- 
ing a  kind  of  rice  beer,  which  they  take  down  for  sale  to  the 
gardens  below,  bringing  back  the  gurras  in  which  they  sell  it 
al  night  to  avoid  detection.  What  we  had  witnessed  with 
such  awe  was  a  chap  swimming  home  on  one  gurra  and 
dragging  a  string  of  "empties"  behind,  and  the  white  patch, 
which  Garlic  regretted  he  had  not  made  a  bnll't  eye  of,  was 
the  only  garment  in  which  Budo  had  draped  himself  for  the 
occasion. — The  Asian. 


Farms  For  Everyone. 


The  enterpnse  of  Messrs.  Gaman  &  Lyon,  the  well  known 
real  estate  agents,  cannot  be  better  illustrated  than  in  the 
large  number  of  sales  they  have  made  during  the  past  few 
months.  They  have  lands  in  all  portions  of  the  State  suit- 
able for  stock  farms,  general  farms,  orchards  and  vineyards, 
and  everything  they  offer  is  of  the  finest  quality,  at  prices 
far  below  those  offered  by  any  other  agents.  They  have 
agents  iu  all  parts  of  Califoruia,  and  visitors  to  this  glorious 
State  who  desire  to  make  a  home  here  cannot  do  belter  than 
calling  upon  these  gentlemen  at  215  Kearny  street.  All  ques- 
tions regarding  resources  of  the  soil  and  climate  and  prices 
for  land  cheerfully  answered.  This  firm  has  just  issued  a 
catalogue  containing  a  list  of  holdings  in  diflerent  parts 
of  the  State,  which  will  be  sent  on  application.

Gentlemen' s    Driving    Club . 


The  Live  Stock  Breeders  of  Santa  Clara  county  seem  to 
have  taken  new  courage  and  the  old-time  enthusiasm  is  again 
manifesting  itself.  Probably  the  most  potent  factor  in  bring- 
ing about  this  result  was  tbe  reunion  of  leading  stockmen  at 
the  Vendome  on  the  occasion  of  the  banquet  given  by  J.  W. 
Rea  and  R.  D.  Fox.  Certainly  nothing  has  happened  for 
years  which  has  had  so  strong  a  tendency  to  increase  the 
bonds  of  sympathy  and  fraternal  feeliDg,  and  these  are  most 
essential  to  success.  If  to  common  aims  and  purposes  unity 
of  action  is  added,  the  four  or  five  score  of  brainy  men  who 
have  in  the  aggregate  not  less  than  five  million  dollars  in- 
vested in  breeding  farms  and  blooded  stock  in  Santa  Clara 
county,  they  will  become  a  power  which  will  be  quickly  and 
notably  felt  in  the  advancement  of  the  substantial  interests 
of  this  community.  As  a  direct  result  of  this  reunion  two 
new  and  important  associations  are  already  apparent,  each  of 
which  tends  to  the  advantage  of  all  concerned. 

The  Association  of  Breeders  and  Horticulturists  of  Santa 
Clara  county  had  its  birth  in  tbe  dining-room  of  the  Ven- 
dome  on  the  evening  of  the  Kea-Fox  dinner.  Hon.  B.  D. 
Murphy,  the  Master  of  Ceremonies,  stood  sponsor  for  it,  but 
his  utterances  expressing  the  desirability  of  a  permanent  or- 
ganization of  such  a  character  found  a  ready  response  in  the 
breasts  of  all  who  were  present.  A  preliminary  declaration 
of  purposes  was  hastily  drafted  and  subscribed  to  by  every 
gentleman  present,  and  the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  add 
the  oamesof  those  who  had  sent  regrets.  The  document  read 
as  follows : 

"  We,  the  undersigned,  hereby  resolve  ourselves  into  a 
permanent  association  for  the  encouragement  r.f  tbe  breeding 
of  thoroughbred  and  standard  horses,  thoroughbred  cattle  and 
swine,  the  promotion  of  our  great  horticultural  interests  and 
the  occasional  meeting  of  our  fraturnity  to  celebrate  our  ad- 
vancement in  all  of  these  great  industries."  The  signers 
were:  Frank  H  Burke,  La  Siesta  Stock  Farm  ;  W  H  Vioget, 
Vioget  Stock  Farm;  G  H  Brage:,  B  D  Murphy,  Charles 
Francis  Hart,  Commercial  editor  New  York  Herald  (honor-

P  S  Donahoe,  Laurel  Wood  Farm  ;  T  W  Barstow,  Ed  Senter, 
E  A  Kennedy,  stock-breeders.  The  full  scope  of  the  associa- 
tion can  not  be  stated  until  after  a  meeting  of  the  directors, 
which  will  probably  be  held  some  time  during  the  present 
week.  It  is  reasonably  certain,  however,  that  an  annual  or 
semianncal  rennion  and  banquet  will  be  a  prime  feature. 

Of  equal  importance  ;s  the  proposed' gentlemen's  Driving 
Club,  a  meeting  for  the  organization  of  which  will  be  held 
Monday  evening.  Those  who  have  already  signed  the  call

men will  be  welcome  as  members,  but  will  not  be  permitted 
to  drive  in  any  of  the  contests. — San  Jose  Mercury. 

Eastern  Racing-   Gossip. 


The  racing  public  is  taking  much  greater  interest  in  the 
big  handicaps  this  year  than  for  many  seasons  past,  says  an 
Eastern  exchange.  There  is  no  racing  in  the  vicinity  of  New 
York  this  winter,  and  it  is  natural  that  the  weights  allotted 
the  cracks  of  the  country  bv  the  handicappers,  and  the 
chances  for  the  chief  candidates  for  carrying  off  the  big  prizes 
should  form  a  topic  for  conversation  wherever  horsemen 
meet.  Tbe  withdrawal  of  Messrs.  Keene's  great  three-year- 
old  Domino  from  the  Brooklyn  Handicap  was  no  surprise  to 
those  who  follow  the  sport  closely.  Domino  is  engaged  in 
more  than  $100,000  worth  of  stakes  with  youngsters  of  his 
.  own  age,  and  it  is  only  natural  that  his  owners  should  decline 
3tarting  him  at  Gravssend  on  the  opening  day,  as  big  fields 
invariaoly  go  to  the  post  for  tbe  Brooklyn. 

Domino  is  a  most  valuable  piece  of  property,  and,  should 
he  train  on  next  season,  ought  to  earn  a  vast  amount  of 
money.  In  the  estimation  of  many  persons  Domino  will  not 
?o  a  mile  and  a  half  in  a  way  that  will  make  him  worthy  of 
being  classed  with  the  greatest  horses  this  country  can  boast 
of.  The  main  cause  for  this  prejudice  is  due  to  the  fact  that 
his  sire,  Himyar,  while  a  good  horse  himself  over  that  dis- 


tance of  ground,  has  never  got  anything  that  could  be  called 
first-class  at  cup  distances.  Then,  too,  Correcrion  is  a  full 
sister  to  Domino,  and  Lady  Reel  and  Ten  Strike  were  both  out 
of  Mannie  Gray. 

The  eyes  of  the  critics  hung  out  on  their  cheeks  last  fall 
when  Correction,  over  tbe  Linden  course,  ran  nine  furlongs 
in  1:54}.  The  mare  had  been  a  phenomenal  sprinter,and  many 
persons  thought  that  three-quarters  of  a  mile  was  as  far  as  she 
could  go  in  anything  like  first-class  company.  In  sprint  races 
it  was  invariably  the  custom  to  rush  Correction  to  the  front, 
and  a  consequence  the  little  mare  always  ran  either  herself  or 
her  opponents  into  the  ground.  Therefore  Domino's  career 
as  a  three-year-old  will  be  worth  watching.  He  certainly 
was  the  gameet  of  the  game  last  year,  his  race  for  the  Futur- 
ity and  the  struggle  with  Dobbins  in  the  match  race  that  fol- 
lowed the  Sheepshead  Bay  prize  being  exhibitions  of  pluck 
that  will  be  remembered  forever  by  those  who  saw  them 
Fred  Taral,  who  rode  the  colt,  is  loud  in  his  praises  of  Dom- 
ino's courage,  and  it  was  naturally  a  surprise  when  this  clever 
rider  some  time  ago  voiced  the  opinion  that  Dobbins,  Mr. 
Croker's  great  colt,  had  a  soft  spot  in  him. 

Taral  rode  Dobbins  on  two  occasions,  and  he  says  the  half- 
brother  to  Yorkville  Belle  stopped  each  time  with  him.  It 
must  have  been  lack  of  condition  that  caused  Dobbins  to  act 
in  this  manner.  His  races,  and  he  ran  more  than  any  t.vo- 
year-old  oat  last  year,  were  uniformlv  good.  Domino's  great- 
est races  were  undoubtedly  the  Futurity  and  subsequent 
match  for  $10,000.  In  each  of  these  races  Dobbins  and  Dom- 
ino met  at  even  weights.  In  the  Futurity,  Dobbins  was  .beaten 
a  few  inches  only  by  Domino  and  Gallilee,  while  in  the 
match  the  rivals  ran  a  dead  heat.  Therefore  the  charge  of 
softness  aeainst  Dobbins  will  hardly  stand,  even  when  made 
by  such  a  clever  jockev  as  Fred  Taral. 

Speaking  of  Domino  and  Dobbins  brings  to  mind  the  fact 
that  the  year  1894  should  see  some  of  the  best  sport  in  the 
three-year-old  stakes  that  this  country  has  ever  seen.  In  the 
year  when  Emperor  of  Norfolk,  Sir  Dixon,  George  Oyster 
and  others  that  could  be  named  were  racing,  the  interest  in 
the  races,  when  these  flyers  met,  was  intense,  but  next  season 
when  Domino,  Dobbins,  Hornpipe,  Senator  Grady,  Hydera- 
bad, Declare,  Peter  the  Great,  Armitage,  Flirt,  Matt  Byrnes, 
Kenligerna  and  a  host  of  others  come  together  for  some 
classic  event,  the  racing  public  will  be  out  en  masse.  The 
race,  whether  stake  or  purse,  that  will  draw  the  throng  will 
be  the  fiist  meeting  of  Domino,  Dobbins  and  Senator  Grady. 
There  was  a  great  deal  of  rivalry  between  tbe  admirers  of 
this  trio  last  fall,  and  it  was  hoped  before  the  season  was  at 
an  end  that  a  three-cornered  match  could  be  arranged.  Horse- 
men can  be  found  who  regard  Senator  Grady  as  quite  the 
equal  of  Domino  and  Dobbins,  and  there  are  others  who  do 
not  credit  Mr.  Daly's  colt  within  five  pounds  of  the  pair 
named. 

Domino  was  unbeaten  in  1893,  Dobbins  lost  some  races 
when  he  conceded  lots  of  weight  to  most  of  his  competitors, 
and  Senator  Grady  lost  only  the  first  race  for  which  he 
started.  This  was  a  mile  over  the  straight  course  at  Sheeps- 
head Say,  and  the  colt,  rearing  as  the  nag  fell,  was  as  good  as 
left  at  the  post.  When  he  next  started  the  odds  against  him 
ranged  from  30  to  60  to  1,  and  it  was  a  grand  scoop  for  those 
who  knew  the  colt's  speed  to  win  a  fortune.  Its  a  matter  of 
fact  that  Matt  Byrnes  and  all  of  his  friends  let  the  colt 
severely  alone  on  that  occasion,  having  lost  their  money  on 
him  at  Sheepshead  Bay,  and  coming  t3  the  conclusion  that 
he  was  a  bit  of  a  counterfeit  The  first  time  these  colts  meet 
somebody  will  lose  a  pot  of  money. 

The  Brooklyn  Handicap  is  regarded  as  a  battle  of  the  four- 
year-olds,  and  Ajax,  Clifford  and  Sir  Walter  are  the  prime 
favorites  with  the  racing  public  that  like  to  bet  on  futures. 
Lamplighter's  poor  showing  at  Chicago  with  Clifford  and  Yo 
Tambien  has  lost  him  many  friends,  but  if  Jimmy  McCor- 
mick  sends  the  five-year-old  to  the  post,  the  brown  horse 
should  run  a  great  race.  He  comes  to  hand  readily  and  there 
is  no  doubt  he  would  have  won  the  race  last  year  but  for  the 
size  of  the  field.  He  got  ioto  a  pocket  and  had  to  ron  around 
his  horses  in  the  homestretch.  With  New  Yorkers,  Ajax  is  a 
prime  favorite.

THE     HARTFORD     MEETING-. 


California  "Well  Represented  By  Famous  Four- 
Year-Olds. 


In  all  probability  harness  racing  will  be  resumed  at  Charter 
Oak  Park  this  year,  even  if  a  meeting  of  only  two  days  can 
be  given.  The  Hartford  Association  has  a  rich  stake  that 
must  be  decided  this  year,  the  Connecticut  for  four-year-olds, 
opened  in  1890,  and  which  will  be  worth  $15,000,  ef  which 
$10,000  will  go  the  winner.  These  colt  stakes,  started  only 
a  few  years  ago  by  the  late  Thomas  A.  King,  have  become 
quite  as  popular  as  the  Charter  Oak  $10,000  stake,  and  this 
year's  fixture  promises  to  be  one  of  the  stake  events  of  the 
year.  Tnirty-five  horses  are  now  eligible  to  start  in  the  Con- 
necticut Parse,  and  among  them  are  several  of  the  good  three- 
year-old  performers  of  last  year.  Fantasy  was  not  nomin- 
ated for  the  race,  and  consequently  Village  Farm  will  not  be 
represented. 

Perhaps  the  best  horse  on  paper  is  Margrave,  the  roan  son 
of  Baron  Wilkes,  that  cut  a  big  figure  during  the  early  part 
of  last  season.  He  was  then  able  to  beat  any  of  his  age  ex- 
cept Fantasy,  and  early  in  August  trotted  to  a  record  of  2:15£, 
and  atrial  of  2:12.  Unless  a  wonder  turns  up  early  in  this 
year's  racing  season  he  will  be  a  dangerous  horse  in  the  race 
and  a  prime  favorite. 

The  Allen  Farm  has  Unkawet  and  Siam  entered.  Both 
have  records,  but  as  they  never  figured  among  the  crack  race 
horses  of  their  age,  they  will  not  be  figured  among  the  likely 
ones.  The  Palo  Alto  Farm  has  four  horses  entered,  of  which 
Bell  Bird,  who  took  a  yearling  record  of  2:26},  and  Ravena, 
who  trotted  in  2:19}  at  two  years  old,  are  the  most  likely. 
Rowenais  three-quarters  thoroughbred,  and  as  she  has  shown 
game  racing  qualities  she  will  be  the  Palo  Alto  candidate  if 
one  is  sent  over  the  mountains.  The  San  Mateo  Farm,  of 
whicn  John  A.  Goldsmith  is  trainer,  has  three  that  are  eligi- 
ble. Doable  Cross,  2:18?,  the  black  filly  by  Sable  Wilkes,  dam 
Hulda  Wilkes,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  is  among  them.  She  never 
figured  among  the  top-notchers,  although  she  proved  a  con- 
sistent performer  last  year  and  won  upwards  of  $5,000  in 
second  moneys.  Marv  Best  is  a  full  sister  to  Muta  Wilkes, 
2:11,  being  by  Guy  Wilkes,  out  of  Montrose,  by  Sultan,  and 
last  year  she  earned  a  record  of  2:21},  and  promises  to  train 
on  in  a  manner  which  has  made  the  whole  of  her  family 
famous.  Another  good  San  Mateo  colt  that  is  eligible  is 
Sablehnrst,  by  Sable  Wilkes,  out  of  the  sister  of  Hazel 
Wilkes,  2:11},  and  Una  Wilkes,  2:15.  This  colt  has  never 
been  tried.  Mr.  Goldsmith  has  Sabledale  entered.  She  is 
the  good  filly  by  Sable  Wilkes  out  of  Vixen,  dam  of  the  $10,- 
000  mare,  Vida  W7ilkes,  2:18},  by  Nutwood. ' Sabledale  earned 
a  two-year-old  record  of  2:lSi,  and  has  trotted  halves  in 
1:04],  but  in  her  three-year-old  form  she  never  faced  the 
starter.  The  Empire  City  Farm  has  three  horses  eligible — 
Hustler  and  Stunner,  by  Hummer,  and  Supremacy,  by  Bell 
Boy.  Hustler  earned  a  three-year-old  record  last  year  of 
2:20},and  Trainer  W.  J.  Andrews  thinks  he  has  quite  a  likely 
candidate.  The  other  colts  eligible  are  Pathwood,  by  Wood- 
nut,  2:1 6. j ;  Maud  Carr,  by  Inflexible;  Dainty  Bell,  by  Bell 
Boy,  out  of  Trosseau,  by  Nutwood  ;  Castle  Bell,  by  Bell  Boy.

Without  broodmares  of  approved  strains  the  breeding  of 
a  belter  class  of  horses  is  up-hill  business.  We  often  hear 
this  remark:  "The  way  to  secure  first-class  broodmares  is  to 
breed  up."  While  the  theory  to  breed  better  than  you  have 
is  the  only  rational  way  to  success,  still,  to  breed  broodmares 
from  common  stock  is  poor  business  in  these  days  of  cheap 
horse  flesh,  when  you  may  purchase  a  filly  or  mare  bred  in 
approved  lines  for  about  the  cost  of  production,  and  it  is 
worse  than  folly  to  keep  a  thousand  dollars'  worth  of  third 
or  fourth-rate  mares  on  a  man's  farm  for  the  sole  purpose  of 
breeding  up.  It  is  far  better  to  sell  a  sufficient  number  cf 
"  the  breeding-up  class''  and  purchase  a  standard-bred 
daughter  of  some  good  sire  whose  daughters  have  proven  pro- 
ducing dams. — Ex.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 

FoftM.— A  queer  word  formed  by  ibis  quartet  of  letters.  So 
many  meanings  that  were  an  article  given  to  an  explanation 
of  each  one  very  many  chapters  would  be  required  to  present 
the  sum  total.  And  interesting,  too,  if  one  took  the  time  to 
study  all  the  points  and  use  titling  phrases  for  proper  por- 
trayal. Restricted  to  horse  topics  the  chapters  would  be 
numerous.as  through  all  the  meanderings  aad  twistings  among 
the  lane  of  the  busy  horse  world  this  one  little  word  is  of 
frequent  occurrence*.  A  few  pages  will  be  all  that  is  scribbled 
in  connection  therewith  at  this  lime  and  these  on  that  peculi- 
arity denoted  "  high  form  "  as  applied  to  horses.  To  begin 
with  it  may  seem  paradoxical  to  state  that  two  horses  strik- 
ingly dissimilar  in  shape  should  both  be  entitled  to  the  ap- 
pellation, but  so  it  is,  and  then  again  an  animal  which  at  first 
sight  was  thought  to  be  superbly  endowed  with  all  the  attri- 
butes on  closer  study  is  found  deficient;  another,  passed  at 
first,  grows  in  favor  as  closer  altention  is  paid,  and  still  an- 
other which  is  surely  inferior  and  yet  there  is  something  that 
impresses  one  with  a  feeling  that  when  the  trial  comes  the 
greater  glory  will  fall  on  that  side. 

It  is  all  very  well  to  know  the  points,  to  be  able  to  say  that 
head,  neck,  shoulders,  middle  piece,  loin,  quarters,  legs  and 
feet  are  according  to  a  recognized  standard  and  if  faulty  in 
what  respect  inferior  to  the  accepted  mark,  though,  in  my 
opinion,  whenever  an  estimate  is  made  on  this  fragmentary 
survey,  this  dissection  of  the  whole,  it  is  more  likely  to  be  at 
fault  than  when  the  general  view  is  depended  upon.  Inde- 
scribable, a  hazy  cosmic  vision,  a  sort  of  second  sight,  a 
shadowy  prophetic  eidolon  of  the  future,  an  emanation  from 
the  inner  spirit  ofthe  quadruped,  a  token  of  excellence  which 
mere  physical  perfection  cannot  reach.  The  head  is  the  chief 
feature  to  give  that  kind  of  an  impression,  especially  the  eye, 
and  yet  blind  horses  exhibit  the  possession  of  this  high  quali- 
ty when  the  eyeball  is  coated  with  a  dingy  while  film,  with- 
out a  single  flash  oi  intelligence  to  guide  the  seeker  after 
knowledge.  Cover  the  head,  or  let  the  head  and  the  "setting 
on"  to  the  neck  be  hidden  from  view  and  a  person,  ever  so 
skilled  in  knowledge  of  form,  would  have  small  evidence  to 
decide  upon. "Every  point  might  be  ultra-perfect,  all  of  the 
rest  of  the  animal^in  just  proportion  and  yet  who  would  haz- 
ard an  opinion  as  to  full  capacity  of  the  animal  under  inspec- 
tion. The  head  is  the  only  exemplar  of  nerve  force,  that  es- 
sential quality  when  speed  for  a  distance  which  will  entail 
suffering  is  to  be  the  test  Eyes,  ears  are  not  the  only  evi- 
dence the  shape  from  muzzle  to  poll  presenting  tokens  which 
are  rarely  much  at  variance  with  results  of  trials.  That  is 
when  afforded  a  fair  trial  as  it  is  manifest  that  the  form — that 
word  now  being  used  to  express  "condition" — must  be  fav- 
orable to  enable  the  animal  to  display  its  true  form.  Coun- 
terfeits of  course.  Singular,  indeed,  if  horses  were  the  only 
things  which  could  not  be  made  to  show  different  from  what 
they  were,  or  that  did  not  retain  the  semblance  of  good  when 
none  existed,  but  with  all  the  guides  which  form 
and  breeding  mark  the  diligent  student,  who  has  given  plenty 
of  time  and  has  an  aptness  for  the  task  will,  in  many  cases, 
be  able  to  detect  'he  spurious.  That  student,  however,  must 
place  his  great  dependence  on  what  he  has  learnt  from  ob- 
servation, as  neither  pen  nor  pencil  can  portray  with  any- 
thing like  fidelity,  all  the  points  which  signify  superior  capa- 
city, especially  those  which  are  a  token  of  nerve  power.  But 
if  pen,  pencil  and  brush  portraitures  are  inadequate  to  give  a 
correct  representation  of  qualities  which  the  trained  eye  de- 
tects, the  reverse  is  not  so  difficult  to  handle.  While  writing 
this  The  Horseman  came,  containing  this  editorial  note : 

"An  excellent  likeness  of  the  famous  Hackney  raare  Mer- 
maid is  presented  upon  another  page.  Mermaid  is  of  the 
type  best  liked  in  England  just  now — close-ribbed,  full  of 
substance,  and  moving  in  the  '  tramp  and  go  '  style  so  favored 
by  Hackney  breeders.  That  she  is  a  weight-carrier  m*y  be 
discerned  .from  the  size  of  the  man  on  her  back,  and  her 
sprightly  attitude  shows  that  she  makes  but  a  feather  of  his 
fourteen  stone.  The  utility  of  such  Hackneys  cannot  be 
questioned.  Mermaid  won  many  first  prizes  last  season  in 
the  best  company,  and,  being  of  the  wearing  kind,  she  is  likely 
to  maintain  her  pride  of  place.  Except  for  use  in  the  hunt- 
ing-field, horses  of  Mermaid's  sort  are  the  most  popular  for 
saddle  purposes  in  England.  Their  courageous  dispositions 
and  well  known  docility,  coupled  with  their  powers  of  endur- 
ance and  ability  to  get  over  the  ground,  recommend  them 
above  all  others  for  use  on  the  road." 

Well,  "an  excellent  likeness"  is  just  about  as  far  from  be- 
ing a  representation  of  an  animal  endowed  with  a  moderate 
degree  of  speed  and  endurance  as  can  be  delineated  outside 
of  heavy  draft.  Less  capacity  of  that  kind  shown  than  the 
toy  horses  which  Santa  ClaiiB  puts  in  the  Christmas-eve  stock- 
ings, but  with  that  endorsement  must  be  taken  as  a  good  type 
of  the  family. 

Such  an  animal  might  carry  fourteen  stone  as  light  as  if  it 
were  a  feather,  but  with  the  "  gutted  snow-bird  "  of  quarter- 
horse  traditions  on  her  back  it  would  he  at  so  slow  a  rate  (hat 
a  real  Yankee  boy  would  rather  go  afoot. 

From  the  pictures  presented   the  modern  hackney  has  so 

large  an  infusion  of  Ihe  blood  of  the  Suffolk  Punch,  the  good 

qualities  of  the  old  have  been  thoroughly  obliterated.

American  Stud  Book,  Vol.  VI.— From  a  letter  received 
from  Col.  S.  I>.  iiruce  a  few  days  ago,  the  sixth  volume  ofthe 
American  Stud  Book  is  nearly  ready  for  publication.  It  will 
be  a  large  volume  of  1,200  pages,  and  as  complete  as  practical 
knowledge  of  the  business,  energy  and  untiring  zeal  can 
make  it- 
Breeders  of  thoroughbreds  in  America  are  under  a  load  of 
obligation*  to  Col.  Bruce.  Were  I  to  select  the  person  who 
has  done  the  most  labor  in  the  hor&e  world  for  the  smallest 
pecuniary  reward  it  would  be  the  editor  of  tbfl  American 
Stud  Book.  1  write  this  with  full  knowledge  of  what  tbfl 
work  was,  as  I  was  associated  with  Col.  Bruce  when  the  first 
volume  was  published,  and  familiar  with  the  obstacles  in  the 
way,  and  the  labor  expended  for  twenty  years  previous  to  the 
publication.  It  ib  a  safe  assertion  that  if  <  Solooel  Bruce  had 
not  taken  up  the  work  with  all  (he  enthusiasm  of  youth, 
stimulated  by  birthplace  and  "  bringing  up  "  in  the  race- 
horse rag  iei  lot]  in  daily  intercourse  with  il 
nent  breed,  of  this  State,  enjoying  an  intimate  acquain- 
tance with  li..-  breeders  ofthe  whole  United  States,  an  Amer- 
ican Stud  Book  would  have  been  nearly  u  Impossibility.  If 
possible  much  inferior  to  what  il  is  through  more  than  forty 


years'  labor  in  which  it  has  been  the  dominating  passion  of 
his  life.  Had  he  delayed  the  commencement  of  the  work  for 
even  so  small  a  period  of  time  as  ten  years  a  great  deal  of 
important  information  would  have  been  lost,  irretrievably 
lost  had  the  delay  extended  to  the  close  of  the  war.  A  mass 
of  correspondence  antedating  the  war  by  many  years,  family 
records  which  had  a  bearing  on  horse  breeding,  files  of  old 
papers,  notices  of  sales;  so  long  ago  as  1S68,  when  I  passed 
several  of  the  summer  mouths  at  his  house  in  New  York, 
there  was  an  accumulation  of  material  bearing  on  the  ques- 
tion of  pedigrees  that  was  enough  to  frighten  even  sanguine 
searchers  for  genealogical  truths  from  engaging  in  the  task. 

The  coming  volume  will  be  far  more  complete  than  those 
which  have  preceded  it,  No  -one  who  is  breeding  thorough- 
breds can  afford  to  be  without  it,  and  apart  from  the  debt  of 
gratitude  to  the  compiler  for  previous  gratuitous  services,  so 
nearly  gratuitous  that  all  the  renumerationin  the  past  would 
be  triffling  compensation  for  the  work  done,  it  is  an  absolute 
necessity  to  the  breeder.  Were  the  responses  from  the  breed- 
ers anywhere  nearly  as  hearty  as  the  producers  of  light  har- 
ness horses  made  to  a  similiar  appeal  a  partial  return  would 
result,  and  I  sincerely  trust  that  when  the  orders  for  the  Gth 
Vol.  A.  S.  B.  are  in  that  there  will  be  a  better  showing  by 
far  than  in  previous  years.

Somewhat  Stubborn. — Iconoclast  has  certainly  one 
quality  which  is  worthy  of  commendation,  that  being  persis- 
tence, although  in  some  instances  carried  to  a  length  that 
place*  him  in  a  position  which  might  be  termed  somewhat 
stubborn.  One  of  these  was  that  the  progeny  of  thorough- 
bred mares  could  not  trot  fast  when  young.  Now  there  is 
one  instance,  at  least,  which  Iconoclast  probably  saw  that 
contradicted  that  statement  as  in  his  own  town,  Lexington, 
Ky.,  Expressive,  in  a  two-year-old  purse  of  $5,000,  was  sec- 
ond to  Nelly  A., behind  her  such  cracks  as  Director'?  Flower, 
Falfa  and  Chris  Lang.  Depending  on  recollection  Director's 
Flower  and  Falfa  have  records  of  2:20  made  previous  to  the 
Lexington  race  which  was  trotted  in  2:19-2:21,  Expressive 
being  second  in  the  last  heat.  Then  Kowena  not  only  from 
a  thoroughbred  mare  but  by  a  horse  which  was  also  from  a 
thoroughbred  mare  trotted  in  2:17  when  a  two-year-old,  and 
Palo  Alto  at  the  same  age  went  a  public  trial  some  six  sec- 
onds faster  than  any  entire  colt  had  trotted  up  to  the  date. 
Then  Iconoclast  takes  Randall's  Horse  Review  to  task  for 
stating  that  few  thoroughbred  mares  in  comparison  to  pacing 
and  trotting-bred  mares  had  been  bred  to  trotting  stallions  in 
the  following  words: 

"  There  is  a  disposition  to  underestimate  the  number  of 
thoroughbred  mares  that  have  been  bred  to  trotting  horses. 
The  fact  is  that  they  have  been  very  numerous.  Palo  Alto 
has  bred  a  great  many ;  how  many  I  don't  know,  but  the 
number  has  been  very  considerable.  Only  last  year  thirteen 
thoroughbred  mares  were  bred  to  a  son  of  Electioneer  stand- 
ing in  this  county,  and  I  understand  most  of  them  are  in 
foal.  Most,  if  not  all  of  these  mares,  have  been  bred  to  this 
horse  for  several  years.  At  Palo  Alto  this  sort  of  breeding 
has  been  fashionable  for  a  good  many  years,and  but  one  great 
trotter  has  resulted." 

Randall's  Horse  Review  may  have  placed  the  estimate  too 
high,  but  it  is  safe  to  say  that  in  all  the  prominent  trotting- 
horse  breeding  establishments  together  the  aggregate  for  the 
past  twenty  years  would  show  hundreds  of  trotting  and  pac- 
ing-bred mares  to  one  thoroughbred  or  half-bred.  Even  Palo 
Alto,  popular  and  "  fashionable  "  as  that  system  has  been, has 
bred  at  least  five  to  one,  and  from  that  came  the  fastest  mare 
and  the  fastest  stallion  to  the  high-wheeled  sulky,  both  hav- 
ing world's  records,  and  the  fastest  trotting  stallion  ever  bred 
in  the  East  resulted  from  the  Woodburn  experiment  of  the 
same  sort. 

I  suppose  he  alludes  to  Clay  as  the  son  of  Electioneer  to 
which  thirteen  thoroughbred  mares  were  bred  in  Kentucky, 
but  he  errs  in  saying  "  they  were  bred  to  this  horse  for  sev- 
eral years,"  inasmuch  as  they  were  the  latest  purchase  by 
Palo  Alto  aud  bought  on  the  ground  thatjthe  great  success  at 
Palo  Alto  would  be  duplicated  from  the  same  system  else- 
where followed.  Governor  Stanford  was  thoroughly  practi- 
cal. The  experiment  of  breeding  a  few,ooly  one  or  two  when 
Palo  Alto  was  first  started,  thoroughbred  and  half-bred  mares 
to  Electioneer  and  also  to  his  son  Azmoor  were  the  reasons 
for  purchasing  the  same  class  to  be  bred  to  Clay,  and  there 
could  not  be  strouger  proof  that  the  result  was  satisfactory. 

But  the  tendency  now  is  to  place  the  issue  on  very  differ- 
ent grounds  from  those  which  the  opponents  of  near  crosses 
of  thoroughbred  mares  occupied  only  a  few  years  ago.  Then 
it  was  palpably  "pernicious,"  unless  as  remote  as  the  fifth 
generation,  now  as  no  high-class  racing  dams  have  thrown 
fast  trotters  the  whole  tribe  is  denounced.  Far  more  logical 
to  argue  that  if  mares  which  have  been  the  dams  of  the  great- 
est turf  celebrities  were  bred  to  the  best  trotting  stallions  the 
result  would  have  been  better  than  from  inferior  mares  of 
kindred  strains. 

Then  Boston,  Lexington,  Glencoe,  Australian,  American 
Eclipse  and  Margrave  figure  in  many  of  the  brightest  stars 
the  turf.  When  the  track  celebrities  are  scanned  what  a 
number  can  claim  kindred  !  Let  us  name  a  few  which  can 
be  put  on  the  6tage  without  troubling  or  even  taking  the 
trouble  of  consulting  the  records.  Directum,  Palo  Alto, 
Kremlin,  Arion,  Maud  S.,  Alix,  Sunol,  Fantasy,  Martha 
Wilkes,  1  larrietta,  Moquette,  and  so  many  others  of  lesser 
fame,  though  of  high  rank,  that  it  would  appear  like  an  in- 
dex lo  the  very  fast  class  when  their  names  were  listed. 

But  let  us  throw  aside  the  very  close  kin  to  the  thorough- 
bred, :md  how  shall  we  obtain  ihe  foundation  for  the  great- 
est without  commencing  at  the  beginning.  The  daughter  of 
thoroughbred  Belmont  bred  to  Bull  Pup  brought  the  dam  of 
H  ulda,  the  greatest  of  the  get  of  her  great  sire.  The  daugh- 
ter of  thoroughbred  Langford  bred  to  Roodhouse's  St.  Law- 
rence had  to  have  a  "  fresh  infusion,"  so  nearly  thorough- 
bred as  only  to  lack  one  thirty-second  part  to  obtain  the  dam 
of  Directum.  Hershey'fl  '  'Id  Dolly  had  to  be  bred  to  thor- 
oughbred Iowa,  and  then  the  female  offspring  to  half-bred 
General  Hatch  to  get  the  foundation  of  Alix.  The  thor- 
oughbred daughter  of  Boston,  Sally  Russell,  is  not  far  away 
from  descendants,  four  of  which  have  records  of  2:10  or  bet- 
ter, twenty-one  in  2:15  or  belter,  and  ninety-two  in  2:20  or 
better,  all  of  these  coming  from  the  Woodburn  experiment, 
which  Iconoclast  claims  was  barren  in  results.  As  no  other 
mare  bred  on  that  classic  ground  has  equaled  the  showing, 
it  is  far  from  a  failure.  Standing  second  only  one  to  excel, Belle, 
by  Mmnbrino  thief,  and  her  dam  close  to  a  thoroughbred, 
in  fact,  a  double  strain  of  thoroughbred  Mambrino  in  Belle, 
with  four  descendants  in  2:10  or  better,  forty-three  2:15  or 
better,  two  hundred  aud  Iwenty-six  in  2:20  or  better.  Green 
Mountain  Maid  l*ads  by  a  long  way  in  very  fast  progeny,  ac- 
cording to  the  Allen  Farm  catalogue,  from  which  these  sta- 


tistics are  copied,  seven  descendants  with  records  in  2:10  or 
better.  Her  dam  had  the  form  of  a  thoroughbred  without 
pedigree,  much  better  than  a  well  authenticated  ancestry  of 
the  bluest  blood  without  the  form,  and  five  of  the  seven  were< 
further  "  reinfotced  "  by  near  strains. 

Arion  with  Boston  and  taking  the  Register  for  authority  a 
thoroughbred  mare  with  a  double  Medoc  cross  still  closer. 
Palo  Alto  from  a  thoroughbred  mare,  Sunol  from  a  half-bred 
mare,  her  dam  by  Lexington,  Fantasy  with  a  Lexington  cross 
and  Little  Albert  a  Trustee.  To  offset  these  indisputable* 
proofs  of  the  value  of  thoroughbred  blood  in  fast  trotters' 
claims  that  no  high  class  dam  of  race  horses  has  a  fast  trotter 
to  show  when  the  odds  are  "  all  China  to  a  China  orange" 
that  not  one  of  the  progeny  of  such  has  been  broken  to  har- 
ness; or  that  when  the  blood  had  been  proved  to  have  fast 
trotting  proclivities  that  it  had  been  "assimilated  "  and  was 
no  proof  that  kindred  strains  would  have  like  effect  shows  to 
what  strait6  objectors  are  driven. 

Neither  will  it  convince  anyone  who  has  a  fair  knowledge 
of  trotting  genealogy  to  assert  that  the  systems  of  breeding 
fast  trotters  in  vogue  at  Woodburn  in  the  early  days  of  that 
establishment  or  in  the  later  years  of  Palo  Alto  were  without 
good  results.  Had  Woodburn  kept  the  Boston  mare,  Sally 
Russell,  in  the  thoroughbred  department,  what  a  number  of 
champions  would  never  have  been  known.  Maud  S.,  Jay- 
Eye-See,  Kremlin,  Arion  of  the  top-sawyers,  a  whole  army 
of  lesser  celebrities.  Had  the  double  Medoc  mare,  Tell-'fale, 
been  reserved  to  the  "  legitimate,"  one  champion  in  her  son 
Tattler  would  have  been  unknown.  Had  Palo  Alto  refrained 
from  testing  the  theory  and  its  astute  founder  accepted  the 
dogmas  of  the  violent  opponents  of  the  "  royal  blood,'1  two  of 
the  greatest  which  ever  wore  harness  would  have  been  lost, 
and  the  major  part  of  its  glory  vanished. 

Let  there  be  some  acknowledgement  of  the  good  that  has 
come  from  mingling  racing  and  trotting  blood,  and  forego  a 
portion  of  the  stubbornness  exhibited  in  the  wholesale  con- 
demnation which  now  prevails  among  a  few  of  the  partizans 
of  out-and-out  trotting  strains.  It  does  not  lessen  the  value 
of  those  which  are  far  removed  from  the  original  fountain,  as 
no  one  of  any  candor  will  deny  that  many  of  that  class  merit 
the  highest  encomiums.  Nancy  Hanks  wears  the  crown  for 
exhibiting  the  highest  rate  of  speed  to  the  credit  of  trotter 
and  pacer;  Directum  on  what  many  consider  a  higher  pedes- 
tal from  his  race-achievements.  Both  are  "  away  up  "  in  the 
estimation  ofthe  lovers  of  trotters,  and  whoever  denies  them 
the  position  so  worthily  earned  has  a  streak  of  bigotry  in  his 
composition.  Then,  too,  should  some  one  praise  Palo  Alto, 
Tattler,  Rowena,  John  Morgan,  Azmoor,  Whips,  Ansel  and 
others  from  thoroughbred  mares  which  have  gained  distinc- 
tion on  tracks  and  in  the  breeding  stud,  he  has  an  undoubted 
right  to  do  so,  and  any  amount  of  sarcastic  epithets  a  poor 
answer  to  his  argument. 

P.  S. — It  will  hardly  do  to  pass  over  the  2:10,  or  better, 
pacing  descendants  of  Green  Mountain  Maid.  W.  Wood  io 
his  not  far-off"  crosses  of  thoroughbred  combines  imp.  Albion, 
imp.  Bonnie  Scotland,  imp.  Monarch  and  imp.  Trustee, 
and  the  great  trotting  progenitor,  California  Belmont. 
Diablo  has  Herald  through  the  long-distance  celebrity,  Fanny 
Wickham,  Albion  and  imp.  Australian.

A  "  Born  Trotter  " — In  the  "Editors  Study,"  Harper 
March  number,  appea.-s  the  following  quotation  which  is  not 
inappropriate  to  the  consideration  of  the  fast  trotting  instinct, 
"  We  hear  much  of  a  natural  voice.  There  is  no  good  natural 
voice.  There  are  natural  capacities  and  potentialities;  there 
is  the  endowment  of  organs,  as  there  is  of  temperament 
There  are  abundant  indications  in  tone  and  power  and  indi- 
vidual peculiarity  of  what  the  voice  will  be  when  it  is  de- 
veloped and  trained.  The  physiologist  say  that  the  vocal 
organs  of  a  fine  singer  are  a  beautiful  sight,  the  perfection  of 
healthy  development,  and  very  different  in  appearnnce  from 
the  same  organs  before  they  are  trained." 

All  horses  are  born  trotters,  but  a  very  fast  trotter  has 
never  been  born.  That  is  a  horse  which  could  trot  a  2:20 
gait,  or  probably  a  great  deal  slower  than  that  without  train- 
ing. "Natural  capacities  and  potentialities"  adaptation  to 
acquire  fast  trotting  action,  some  ready  pupils  a  majority  of 
less  aptitude,  but  all  a  combination  of  natural  gifts  and  edu- 
cational acquirements. 

The  only  horse  I  ever  saw  which  could  trot  very  fast  with- 
out previous  training  to  trot  was  one  that  had  been  a  moder- 
ately fast  pacer,  far  faster,  however,  at  the  trot  than  the 
pace,  and  this  divergence  from  the  usual  course  is  trouble- 
some to  account  for  with  any  certainty  of  being  right  in  the 
conclusion.  He  had  been  paced  in  races,  trained  for  some 
time  at  that  gait,  had  shown  no  propensity  even  to  slow  trot- 
ting progression  and  all  at  once  "  struck  "  a  phenomenally 
fast  trot.  He  was  owned  by  a  Mr.  Derby  in  Chicago, 
who    was  also    the    owner    of    the    trotter    Prairie    Boy. 

The  last  named  horse  had  a  record  of  2:34A,  and  his  mate, 
the  pacer,  a  few  seconds  faster.  Mr.  Derby  had  a  farm  twelve 
miles  from  Chicago  and  returning  from  there  when  going 
over  a  sandy  piece  of  road,  the  pacer,  for  the  first  time  in  his 
owner's  knowledge,  trotted.  From  that  [point  home  he  con- 
tinued to  trot,  was  driven  with  Prairie  Boy  to  Ihe  Driving 
Parkthe  next  day  and  still  trotted,  and  at  that  newly  adopted 
gait  was  too  fast  for  his  mate.  Hitched  by  himself  to  a  skele- 
ton wagon  he  did  not  change  his  mind,  trotting  at  a  rate  of 
speed  never  before  exhibited  on  that  track  by  the  fastest 
trotters.  A  quarter  in  31  seconds,  a  half  in  1:03,  and  that  so 
longago  as  1S65,  could  rightly  be  termed  marvelous.  A  half 
mile  was  the  limit  of  his  capacity  so  that  he  could  not  figure 
in  races,  and  the  only  record  of  his  feats  is  that  which  u  old- 
timers"  keep  in  their  remembrances  and  a  few  paragraphs 
in  the  journals  of  the  day. 

Still  he  could  not  be  called  a  born  trotter  as  his  pacing 
education  had  developed  the  potentialities  for  rapid  progress- 
ion outside  ofthe  gallop,  and'when  the  diagonal  movement 
was  found  to  be  better  adapted  for  a  high  rate  of  speed  he  had 
sense  enough  to  adhere  to  it.  The  trouble  was  in  his  best  or- 
gans of  respiration,  and  some  defect  in  that  important  portion 
of  the  machinery  rendered  him  only  a  nine  days'  wonder,  of 
no  service  on  the  track  and  unfitted  for  the  road.

Assured. — As  will  be  seen  from  the  report  in  another  part 

of  this  paper  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association 
has  been  duly  organized,  and  with  scarcely  a  doubt  that  in 
this  first  year  of  its  being  will  secure  a  large  proportion  of 
the  associations  on  this  coast  as  members.  All  that  I  desire 
to  say  now  is,  that  the  selection  of  officers  will  meet  the  ap- 
proval of  so  large  a  majoritv  of  the  people  interested  as  to  be 
practically  unanimous.  A  capital  choice  will  be  the  general 
verdict,  as  it  surely  is,  of  mine.  In  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man of  next  week  I  will  present  a  full  review  of  the  proceed- 
ings. Jos.  Caten  Simpson.

R.  J.,  Xapa.— Please  give  through  column 
of  your  paper  a  remedy  for  tapeworms  iu  an 
English  pug.  Answer. — Give  the  following 
medicine  after  the  dog  has  been  fasting  for 
several  hours  :  Thirty  grains  of  Areca  nut. 
fifteen  minims  of  fluid  extract  of  male  lern, 
and  one  ounce  of  syrup  of  buckthorn.  Shake 
well  and  give  as  one  dose.  Dou't  let  the  dog 
have  anything  to  eat  for  at  least  two  hours 
afterwards. 


!  applied  to  him,  r.nd  afterward  to  several  of  his 
1  sons  and  grandsons.  The  term  as  used  in 
connection  with  the  word  Norman  to-day. 
Alexander's  Norman,  by  the  Morse  Horse, 
was  brown  in  color,  while  Nottingham's  or 
Bathgate's  Norman,  by  the  Morse  Horse  many 
of  his  get  were  gray.  The  get  of  the  Morse 
Horse  were  good  enough  to  be  scattered 
through  Northern  New  York,  Vermont, 
Canada  and  Kentucky.  So,  you  will  see  that 
the  material  of  which  the  old  California  gray 
was  made,  and  which  blood  is  found  in  many 
of  the  California  trotters,  was  good  enough." 


C.  H.,  Fresno.— 1  had  a  tine  horse  die  from 
what  a  good  horseman  called  mad  staggers.  1. 
What  is  it?  ±  What  is  the  cause  of  it?  3. 
Is  there  any  cure  for  it?  Answer. — 1.  De- 
lirium associated  with  inflammation  of  cover- 
ings of  brain.  8.  Irregularities  in  feeding  and 
watering,  or  aoything  that  irritates  the  stom- 
ach, injuries  to  the  head,  etc.  3.  Immediate 
bleeding,  ice  to  the  head,  purgatives,  and  keep- 
ing successful  course  of  treatment. 


F.  R.  R  ,  El  Cajon — I  have  a  mare  that  is 
troubled  with  swelling  of  teats  and  bag, weaned 
colt  in  November  1.  Her  bag  began  to  swell, 
seemed  to  be  stifl  and  sore.  Applied  turpen- 
tine and  she  seemed  to  get  all  right;  took 
her  up  in  January  last,  commenced  giving 
her  work  ;  her  legs  and  ankles  stocked  and 
were  fevered  ;  would  go  a  way  in  jogging  but 
return;  can  take  milk  from  her  bag,  which  is 
somewhat  fevered,  but  her  appetite  is  good. 
1.  Please  tell  me  what  can  be  done  to  relieve 
her.  2.  Name  the  trouble.  3.  Give  the 
cause.  Answer — I.  Rub  the  following  oint- 
ment well  into  the  par.  three  or  four  times  a 
day  :  Solid  extract  of  belladonna  one  ounce  ; 
tannic  acid,  half  an  ounce;  vaselio,  eight 
ounces.  Remove  milk  or  puss  that  the  big 
mav  contain  after  each  application.  Give  one 
dram  of  iodide  of  potassium  three  times  a 
day  in  a  drink  of  water,  or  bran  mash,  and  let 
me  know  result  in  ten  or  twelve  days.  2.

J.  L. — Can  you  tell  me  anything  about  the 
gray  stallion  Gen  Taylor's  breeding? 

Ans. — The  following  taken  from  an  old  copy 
of  "  Dunton's  Spint  of  the  Turf:"  written  by 
the  editor,  throws  as  much  light  on  his  breed- 
ing as  anything  we  have  seen: 

"Piatt  and  John  Eyclesheimer  came  to 
Janesville,  Wis.,  quite  a  good  many  years  ago; 
say  1855,  bo  that  we  became  quite  well 
acquainted  with  both  John  and  Piatt.  John 
was  the  best  horseman  of  the  two,  and  was  an 
excellent  trainer  and  driver  for  his  day. 
From  him  we  learned  the  following  particu- 
lars regarding  Gen  Taylor.  When  he  was  a 
young  man,  he  came  in  possession  of  a  balky 
bay  mare  which  he  called  Flora.  The  mare 
was  bred  on  Long  Island  but  her  breeding  has 
never  been  traced.  She  passed  to  Morris  Van 
Boskirh  of  Lansingburg,  N.  Y.,  who  in  turn 
traded  her  to  John  Eyclesheimer,  who  then 
lived  near  Saratoga  Springs.  At  or  about  that 
time,  the  Morse  Horse  was  the  trotter  of  that 
section  of  country,  and  as  Flora  was  quite  a 
trotter  herself,  Young  Eyclesheimer  could  see 
far  enough  into  a  millstone  to  know  that 
those  two  trotters  ought  to  produce  trotters. 
And  with  that  idea  uppermost,  he  bred  Flora 
to  the  Morse  Horse  for  three  successive  years. 
Her  lirst  colt  was  Gen  Taylor  gr  h,  foaled 
1847,  and  her  next  was  Flora,  a  little  ba? 
mare  15  hands  high  that  we  have  seen  pull  a 
road  wagon  in  2:40.  and  was  a  grand  horse  in 
every  particular.  Sam  Eyclesheimer  took 
Gen  Taylor  to  California  in  the  early 50 e 
where  he  became  noted  as  a  longdistance 
trotter.  Namely:  30  miles  in  1  limn,  I, 
minutes,  and  59  seconds.  lie  nlso  trotted  ten 
mi  In  in  29:41  J.  The  Morse  Horse  was  known 
in  his  early  years  as  Morman,  and  as  Young 
European.  His  breeding  won  given  atone 
time  as  by  a  horse  from  Canada,  said  to  be  an 
imported  Norman  from  France.  A  later,  and 
undoubtedly  correct  version  of  his  breeding, 
Is  that  he  was  by  European  (McNitt  Horse); 
dam  Heck  by  Harris  Hambletonian,  by 
Bl  bop's  Hambletonian,  by  Imp,  Messenger. 

European  wa-  fnnl.'.l  :i1kiiiI  1815.  Mr.  James 
McNitt  Of  West  Salem,  Washington  counly, 
N.    Y„   brought   him    to    Montreal,    in  1822, 

Ho  was  gray,  1'*.  hands    high,   cleg inform 

and  of  One  finish,  and  »  fast  trotter  for  those 
days.  Ha  was  popular,  am]  died  in  Washing- 
ton county  in  1880.  Popular  belief  was  that 
he  was  imported  from  Normandy,  France, 
hence  his  name  European,  but  toe  grounds 
for  this  belie'  are  not  known  The  Morse 
Horse  wns  alHo  gray,  and  the  general  belief 
that  his  sire  came  from  Normandy  found  ex- 
pression  in   the    name    Norman,    originally 


L.  M. — What  is  the  breeding  of  Colonel, 
sire  of  Katy  Tricks?  Answer — A.  C.  Dietz, 
of  Oakland,  furnished  the  following  informa- 
tion to  an  Eastern  turf  journal  in  1890,  and  as 
it  states  all  that  has  ever  been  known  of  Katy 
Tricks  and  her  breeding,  we  publish  it  in  fell: 
"As  1  was  Katy  Tricks'  owner  during  the 
notoriety  she  gained  through  Empress,  Conde 
and  others,  I  presume  I  can  give  you  all  the 
information  of  her  breeding  that  can  possibly 
be  gained.  Her  breeder  and  original  owner 
was  Archimides  Hanan,  of  Dayton,  State  of 
Washington.  The  information  I  had  from 
him  was  that  the  dam  of  Katy  Tricks  was  a 
mare  he  called  Jude.  She  was  purchased  in 
Illinois,  and  her  owner  said  she  was  an  Ohio 
mare.  The  horse  Colonel  was  also  purchased 
in  Illinois,  and  the  owner  said  he  was  half 
Morgan.  Hanan  took  them  across  the  plains 
in  1854.  Colonel  served  Jude  and  she  pro- 
duced a  stud  colt  iu  1S56.  At  two  years  old 
the  colt  served  Jude,  bis  own  mother,  and  she 
produced  Katy  Tricks.  Katy  Tricks  is  the 
dam  of  Tricks,  quite  a  fast  mare  that  could 
trot  in  2:35  ;  her  sire  was  a  horse  called  Bailey, 
pedigree  unknown.  Katy  Tricks  was  also  the 
dam  of  Sally  Tricks,  that  could  trot  in  2:40  as 
a  three-year-old.  Her  sire  was  Vernon 
Patchen,  he  by  George  M.  Patchen,dam  Lady 
Vernon.  Her  next  colt  was  Empress,  by 
Whipple's  Hambletonian.  Whipple's  Ham 
bletonian  is  registered,  so  you  can  trace  his 
breeding,  as  well  as  that  of  his  sire,  Guy  Mil- 
ler, which  was  by  Rysdyk's  Hambletonian 
Her  next  colt  was  Judge,  by  Billy  Hay  ward. 
Judge  was  quite  a  fast  pacer ;  never  was 
trained.  Her  uext  colt  was  Emperor,  by  Bill 
Ralston.  Emperor  wasfast  and  won  the  three- 
year-old  purse;  best  time  as  three-year-old 
2:44,  fifth  heat,  could  trot  afterwards  in  about 
2:28.  Her  next  colt  was  Victor,  by  Whipple's 
Hambletonian.  He  was  never  trained,  but 
could  trot  in  about  2:40.  Her  next  colt  was 
Conde,  by  Abbotsford.  You  know  his  best 
time,  2:18 — double.  Her  next  colt  was  Con 
ference,  by  Steinway  ;  he  is  East,  and  I  do  not 
know  Ins  time  ;  he  was  a  fast  coit.  Her  next 
colt  was  by  Steinway  and  died  with  its  mother 
before  foaling.  Katy  Tricks  was  a  most  re- 
markable mare,  very  game  and  a  fine  looker  ; 
her  color  was  chestnut ;  she  could  trot  twenty 
miles  with  most  any  horse  at  her  time;  she 
was  brutally  treated  by  her  former  owner, 
who  got  her  to  sulking  so  that  she  would  not 
go  on  the  track,  though  a  good  mare  on  the 
road  ;  she  was  about  14V  hands  high,  well  put 
up  and  had  a  pair  of  iron  legs  and  feet,  and 
never  had  a  blemishon  her.  James  Eoff,  the 
noted  trainer,  that  had  driven  Flora  Temple 
in  her  day,  pronounced  Katy  Tricks  her  equal 
could  she  have  been  driven  on  the  track.  Em- 
press was  the  most  remarkable  mare  I  ever 
saw ;  she  was  chestnut  and  rather  small,  say 
15  hands;  she  was  not  halter-broke  till  after 
three  years  old,  and  when  broke  she  could  not 
trota  mile  in  ten  minutes  ;  she  was  pronounced 
by  horsemen  a  total  failure,  and  would  not 
have  brought  $40.  I,  however,  thought  differ- 
ently, and  insisted  that  she  should  be  broken 
properly.  She  was  broken  by  a  colored  man 
that  I  had  in  the  stable  and  worked  by  him, 
and  iu  four  months  out  of  the  breaking  cart 
she  trotted  a  full  mile  in  2:23A  over  the  Oak- 
land track  ;  the  track  was  in  had  condition  ard 
she  had  to  be  driven  in  the  middle  of  the 
track.  The  fastest  time  at  that  date  was  made 
by  Elaine,  2:24J  as  a  four-year-old.  I  am  sorry 
that  I  cannot  give  you  more  and  better  in- 
formation respecting  her  breeding  and  that  of 
her  dam,  Jude,  aud  of  Colonel." 


1  quently  I  will  make  this  letter  to  you  as  short 
as  was  my  stay  in  New  York. 

"  I  bought  Abdallah  from  Henry  Chanfrau, 
brother  to  the  well  known  actor,  paying  him 
for  the  horse  $1000.  Chanfrau  had  acted  in 
Ne«?  York  as  an  agent  for  Steve  Whipple,  and 
I  therefore  had  every  confidence  in  him.  I 
left  New  York  in  March,  1«58,  on  the  ship 
Northern  Light,  Captain  Tinkelpaugh  ;  laid 
over  one  trip  on  the  Isthmus,  there  being  a 
perfect  flood  of  passengers.  Among  others 
who  staid  over  with  me  were  Frank  Jones, 
who  bad  in  his  possession  Princess  (dam  of 
Happy  Medium),  a  mare  that  afterwards  be- 
came well  known  on  account  of  being  taken 
from  California  by  Eofi  to  trot  against  Flora 
Temple;  another  horse  that  remained  over 
for  the  trip  was  Stockbridge  Chief,  Jr.,  who 
was  in  charge  of  P.  Vibard.  We  all  arrived 
in  San  Francisco  safe  and  sound,  and  I  con- 
sidered that  I  had  the  very  best  horse  that  up 
to  that  time  had  ever  been  brought  to  this 
State.  The  pedigree  as  I  received  it  at  the 
time,  and  which  has  since  been  verified,  is  as 
follows:  Abdallah,  by  Rysdyk's  Hambleton- 
ian, he  by  Abdallah  1 ;  the  dam  of  my  Abdal- 
lah was  by  imp.  Roebuck,  and  2nd  dam  being 
by  Henry,  who  was  the  competitor  of  Eclipse 
in  the  great  races  East.  I  sold  the  horse  to  E. 
L.  D.  Bryant  of  Benecia  in  1860,  after  serv- 
ing ten  mares  with  him  in  1859.  as  I  thought 
he  was  too  young  in  that  year  for  service,  lie 
being  then  only  four  years  of  age.  In  I860 
Bryant  had  him  served  to  sixty  mares  at  $50 
each,  which  was  a  handsome  price  at  that 
time. 

Bryant  sold  him  to  Ben  Fish  of  Santa  Clara 
County.  Fish  sold  him  to  Capt.  Paul  of 
Mayfield;  Paul  afterwards  sold  him  to  Capt. 
Ham,  in  whose  hands  he  died  at  twenty-one 
years  of  age,  killed,  I  am  satisfied,  through 
kindness,  as  he  was  grain  fed  constantly,  and 
was  given  little  or  no  exercise.  God  bless  the 
old  horse ;  he  was  a  good  friend  to  me  when 
I  needed  friends.     Yours  sincerely, 

Jos.  M.  Bassford. 


T.  F. — Was  Alexander's  Abdallah  the  sire 
of  Paul's  Abdallah? 

Ans. — That  is  a  difficult  question  to  answer. 
Mr.  Jos.  M.  Bastiford  is  still  living  and  we 
publish  his  interesting  letter  ahout  the  horse 
so  that  his  attention  will  be  called  to  it. 

"  Many  times  we  have  been  asked  as  to  the 
breeding  <»f  Bassford's  Abdallah,  Ham's  Ab- 
dallah,  Paul's  Abdallah.  Bryant's  Abdallah 
and  the  California  Abdallah.  The  following 
letter  received  from  Jos.  M.  Bassford,  Sr , 
now  of  Solano  County  gives  us  the  following 
history  of  the  horse: — 

"  I  left  San  Francisco  on  the  26tb  day  of 
August,  1857,  on  the  steamship,  Sonora,  Capt. 
Richard  Whiting,  with  the  intention  of  buy- 
ing two  good  horses  and  three  good  marks  as 
a  starter  for  a  breeding  farm,  having  for  some 
time  determined  in  my  own  mini  that  an 
enterprise  of  the  sort  would  pay  in  California. 
I  already  had  a  fairly  good  ranch  aud  there- 
fore only  needed  the  proper  kind  of  slock. 
We  arrived  in  Panama  all  right,  but  on  the 
other  side  we  connected  with  the  Central 
America,  on  which  we  had  a  very  rough  time, 
which  ultimately  resulted  in  the  ship's  going 
down,  aud  I  arrived  in  New  York  in  mv 
stocking-feet,  with  a  handkerchief  lied  around 
toy  head  for  a  hal.  My  fond  horse  calcula- 
tions were  knocked  in  the  head,  and  conse- 


The  Breeder  and  Turfman  of  March  17, 
1892,  published  a  picture  of  Tbor,by  Alcazar. 
Randall's  Turf  Register  of  March  3,  1894, 
publishes  the  same  cut  and  underneath  is  the 
words:  "  Truman,  2:12,  by  Electioneer."  Mr. 
Randall  should  not  try  to  make  all  people 
think  California  horses  are  exactly  alike. 


Over  19,000  horses  were  eaten  in  Paris  in 
1893.

■WILLIAM 


Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Tenn.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08},  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:271,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  anv  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  slick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  meney  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ? 

DIRECT  will  make  the  season  of  1894  at  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  for  fifteen  approved  outside 
mares 

TERMS  -  -  $200 

With  a  return  privilege  or  the  money  refunded.  Good  pasturage  and  good  care  at  $4 
per  month,  but  no  risk  for  accidents.

the  Creates!  Sire  that  Ever  Lived)   stand- 
ing In  America,  and  Loyalist  I*  one. 
Imp.  Loyalist  Is  a  dark  bay  horse,  foaled  in  Novem- 
ber  1»M  bred   by   Mr.  ^amuel  Gardiner,  ofBundoora 
Park   Melbourne  (breeder  of  Dan-bin  i.    He  stands  15.3 
bands  on  steeiv  legs,  and  has  emit  joints  and  the  best 
of  feet.     Lovallst  Isa  typical  Marquis  horse, being  hard 
and  muscular,  standing  overo  lot  of  ground,  withshort, 
strong  back,  aud  with  wonderfully  rnaacolar  quarters. 
Hi*  bead  and  neck   are   models    of  symmetry,    his 
shoulders  are  well-placed,  and  he  Is  all  over  "  horse, 
showing  a  grand  constitution—  a  most  excellent  point 
In  a  sire,  ,       .     .      .  ... 

The  success  of  the  Marquis*  sons  as  sires  in  Australia 
is  truly  remarkable,  Newminster,  one  of  them,  being 
admittedlv  one  of  the  best  in  the- Colonies.  Loyalist's 
slre-The  Marquis— won  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  and 
Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  lx£.  and  only  lost  the  Derby 
bv  a  head.  He  was  by  the  Emperor  of  Sires— Stock- 
well— from  Cinlzelli,  bv  Touchstone,  who  was  one  of 
the  greatest  broodmares  in  English  turf  history,  pro- 
ducing as  she  did,  The  Marquis,  The  Peer  (aire  of  Dar- 
"bini.Towton  (sire  of  a  host  of  winners  .and  Mar- 
chioness (winner  of  The  Oaks,  and  dam  of  the  great 
Fishhook  and  Rose  of  Denmark,  who  have  left  their 
mighty  Impress  on  the  horses  of  Australia.) 

Loyalist's  dam  Loyal  Peress  i  by  The  Peer,  fdre  of 
Darebln  .  produced,  in  addition  to  Loyalist, Loyalstone. 
who  will  ever  be  remembered  in  Australian  turf  history 
as  having  been  beaten  onlv  by  a  nose  by  Vengeance  in 
the  rich  Caulfield  Cup  of  IS90,  IW  miles,  in  the  best 
time  on  record  (on  a  turf  course ),  in  a  very  large  field. 
Many  people  alwavs  contend  that  Loyalstone  really 
won  it-  Vengeance",  who  received  the  verdict,  was  by 
Newmlnster,  soo  of  The  Marquis. 

Loyalist  comes  of  wonderful  sire  lines,  for  apart 
from  his  truly  grand  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  he  has 
on  his  dam's  side  of  the  house  breeding  unequalled  in 
America.  If  indeed  In  the  world.  Loyal  Peeress  pro- 
duced Loyalist,  Loyalstone  and  Loyal  Lady,  the  latter 
in  turn  the  dam  of  Submission,  a  heavy  winner  in  1892. 
Hts  second  dam,  Loval  Devoir,  produced  the  winner, 
Caractacus:  the  third  dan.,  Letty  West,  produced 
Glorious,  a  most  successful  Australian  sire,  and  Fitz- 
harding,  Danebury  and  Letty  Lyon,  spleudid  race- 
horses; the  fourth  dam,  Bay  Letty,  gave  to  the  world 
Libelous  and  Lettv  Long:  the  fifth  dam.  Miss  Letty, 
winner  of  the  Oaks,  produced  the  renowned  sire, 
Wealherblt,  and  ten  others  that  were  race  horses  and 
producers,  among  the  number  Letetia,  sixth  dam  of 
Palo  Alto's  great  colt,  Cadmus.  Loyalist's  sixth  dam, 
the  Orvllle  mare,  is  the  third  dam  of  that  famous 
English  sire,  Adventurer,  while  his  tenth  dam,  Pros- 
erpine, was  sister  to  the  mighty  Eclipse,  of  "Eclipse 
first,  the  rest  nowhere  "  fame.

St.  SAVIOUR. 

ST.  SAVIOUR,  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  oncesecond. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Stakes,  1  %  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Rarltan  Stakes,  l',{  miles,  defeating  tbe 
King  Ernest- Miml  colt  and  fourotbersin  acanter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehorse,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eollst  and  Eon.  Eolos,  St.  Savl  ur'ssire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  Immortal  Leaming- 
ton, aire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Sensation. 
SL  Saviour  has  demonstrated  his  worth  at  the  stud.  SEVR1CK

Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  iu  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satar.ella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-yea r-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap^,  five  furlongs,  beating  a  flel J  of 
fourteen  good  ones ;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  bearing  nine;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others;  beaten  a  head  for  Members'  Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Tbormanby-Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best,    SERVICE  FEE,  87 .V

Kapa  river  There  are  fine  stables,  barns,  sheds  and  numerous  box-stall,  small  paddocks,  and 
in  fact  everything  to  make  it  a  model  farm  for  the  purpose  for  which  Mr.  McCord  intended 
■  The  magnificent  two-story  residence  containing  eleven  rooms  built  in  the  latest  style, 
surrounded  by  a  garden  and  orchard,  makes  it  an  ideal  home  place,  and  a  more  desirable  in- 
vestment than  this  has  not  been  offered  for  years;  As  John  McCord,  the  owner,  is  selling  all 
of  his  horses  because  his  business  in  San  Francisco  prevents  him  from  devoting  the  time  to 
them  he  would  wish,  he  has  concluded  to  sell  this  beautiful  place  also.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  galling,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trottefs. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  bands  pi  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

FORTY-SIXTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  MARCH  9. 

*  EAGER  fields  of  selling-platers  did 
cot  make  the  most  interesting 
racing  of  the  present  meeting  by 
any  means.  Four  of  the  five 
events  were  won  easily,  there 
being  in  only  one  race  a  sem- 
blance of  a  blood-Btirring  finish. 
Two  favorites,  two  second  choices 
and  a  30  to  1  chance  were  suc- 
cessful, and  as  the  favorites  were  odds-on  cboices  it  is  a  safe 
gamble  that  the  bookmakers  had  many  points  the  best  of  the 
argument  on  the  gold  question.  The  track  was  fast  drying 
up  under  the  influence  of  a  strong  wind  and  sunshine,  but 
was  still  over  five  seconds  slow  to  the  mile  and  very  deep  in 
spots.  The  attenJance  was  fairly  good,  at  least  2,000  specta- 
tors being  scattered  around  the  place.  Felix  Carr  rode  two 
winners  to-day,  while  E.  Jones,  C.  Weber  and  Chevalier 
shoved  their  mounts  first  past  the  post.  Chevalier's  was  on 
Fortuna,  a  30  to  1  shot. 

Gus  Strauss,  favorite  and  played  for  a  killing  in  the  first 
race,  stumbled  at  the  start,  and  all  his  chances  went  glim- 
mering at  once,  Gasser  leading  nearly  the  whole  distance  and 
winning  with  ease  at  five  lengths,  with  a  new  one,  Laurel,  in 
the  place.  Gus  Strauss  must  have  made  up  ten  lengths  after 
he  got  goiDg,  and  would  in  all  likelihood  have  proved  the 
winner  but  for  the  accident.  It  is  a  marvelous  improvement 
where  a  horse  is  beaten  four  lengths  in  0:54-V  one  day  (equal 
to  a  full  second  in  time)  and  the  next  wins  in  0:534,  with 
apparently  about  a  second  up  his  sleeve.  There  was  perhaps 
a  second  to  a  mile  difference  between  the  course  to-day  and 
yesterdav,  and  Gasser  had  nine  pounds  less  up,  but  that 
should  not  make  a  difference  of  three  seconds  in  a  half-mile 
run. 

De  La  Guerra  won  the  second  race  easily,  after  Bobolink 
had  led  nearly  to  the  three-quarter  pole.  Chemuck,  the 
favorite,  was  a  poor  fourth,  while  in  a  slashing  finish  Peter 
Weber's  good  two-year-old  filly  Sunrise  got  the  place  by  a 
whisker  from  Bobolink. 

Fortuna,  a  30  to  1  shot,  got  the  money  in  the  third  race  for 
that  prince  of  trainers,  Orville  Appleby,  the  daughter  of 
Brutus  beating  a  select  field  of  youngsters,  over  which  Artist 
was  an  even-money  favorite.  He  finished  second  and  Semele 
a  good  third.  Barney  Schreiber  is  credited  with  losing  $2,000 
on  the  last-named. 

The  fourth  race  proved  a  mere  exercise  gallop  for  Joe 
Murphy.  He  indulged  Dr.  Ross  with  the  lead  until  the 
homestretch  was  reached,  and  then  came  on  and  won  in  a 
gallop  by  about  two  lengths.  Steadfast,  the  second  choice, 
was  a  poor  third. 

Barney  Schreiber  probably,  got  even  on  his  Semele  losses 
when  Dolly  McCone  romped  in  winner  of  the  last  race.  Pere- 


gal,  a  2  to  1  shot,  got  the  place,  and  The  Lark,  second  choice, 
was  third.  Twang  was  not  ridden  with  very  good  judgment, 
and  lost  all  his  chances  by  being  taken  into  the  very  heavy 
going  when  he  was  but  a  neck  behind  McCone  at  the  final 
turn.

Gus  Strauss  was  an  even-money  favorite  for  the  first  race, 
half  a  mile,  being  backed  down  from  9  to  5.  Gasser  was  at 
8  to  5,  Terra  Nova  8  to  1,  Frances  12,  Blazeaway  10,  the 
others  30  to  1  each.  Gus  Strauss  stumbled  at  the  start, 
Charley  Weber  going  up  on  his  neck.  Terra  Nova,  Gasser, 
Frances  was  the  order  at  the  Hag-fall.  Gasser  soon  went  to 
the  front,  and  led  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  by  four 
lengths,  Terra  Nova  second,  half  a  length  from  Frances, 
Laurel  fourth.  In  the  homestretch  Gasser  got  the  dry  path, 
and  had  no  trouble  in  winning  by  five  lengths  from  Laurel, 
who  made  a  good  run  in  the  straight  and  beat  Terra  Nova 
three  lengths  for  place.     The  time  was  0:53£.

At  the  half  Bobolink  led  by  a  length,  Easter  Lass  and  De  La 
Guerra  head-and-head,  Sunlit  filly  a  length  further  away.  De 
La  Guerra  led  into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths,  with 
Bobolink  second,  Easter  Lass  third,  Sunlit  filly  fourth,  close 
together.  De  La  Guerra  got  the  dry  path  and  won  handily 
by  two  lengths.  In  a  terrific  drive  for  about  a  sixteenth  of  a 
mile  the  Sunlit  filly  got  the  place  by  less  than  two  inches

Johnny  P\yne  second,  a  neck  from  Fortuna,  who  was  as  far 
from  Artist.  The  latter  now  made  his  run,  and  he  and  Se- 
mele soon  joined  issue,  running  head  and  head  to  the  home- 
stretch, with  Fortuna  third,  over  two  lengths  behind.  In  the 
homestretch  there  was  a  bunching  up  between  this  tiio,  but

Joe  Murphy  was  a  2  to  5  shot  in  the  fourth  race,  one  mile, 
selling.     Dr.  Ross  was  at  8  to  1,  Sir  Charles  12  and  Steadfast 


3J  to  1.  Sir  Charles  cut  up  fearfully  at  the  post,  delaying 
matters  for  over  fifteen  minutes  and  nearly  pulling  the  arms 
out  of  Assistant  Merrill  and  his  trainer,  "  Bone  Doctor" 
Bobbins,  the  latter  sticking  to  him  gamely,  however,  and 
eventually  subduing  him  in  a  measure.  At  length  a  start 
was  made  with  Joe  Murphy,  Dr.  Ross  and  Steadfast  necks 
apart,  Sir  Charles  last,  about  two  and  one-half  lengths  away. 
Murphy  led  past  the  quarter  by  a  head,  Dr.  Ross  a  length 
from  Steadfast,  Sir  Charles  two  lengths  further  away.  Dr. 
Ross  now  went  up  into  the  lead,  passing  the  half  a  neck  in 
front  of  Sir  Charles,  who  had  made  a  fast  run,  Joe  Murphy 
third,  half  a  length  further  away.  Dr.  Ross  led  at  the  three- 
quarters  by  half  a  length,  Murphy  now  second,  five  lengths 
from  Sir  Charles.  Murphy  came  to  the  front  with  all  the 
ease  in  the  world  in  the  homestretch  and  won  with  little 
Weber  sitting  still  by  two  lengths,  Dr.  Ross  second,  driven 
out,  six  lengths  from  Steadfast,  who  was  as  far  from  Sir 
Charles.    Time,  1:49k

tWinner  trained  by  John  Robbins.] 

The  last  race  of  the  day,  about  six  furlongs,  had  but  five 
starters.  Dolly  McCone  was  the  favorite  at  3  to  5,  being 
played  for  thousands.  For  a  few  seconds  she  was  at  even 
money.  Twang  also  was  heavily  backed  at  3A  to  1.  The 
Lark  was  at  3  to  1,  Peregal  20  and  Alfred  B.  40"to  1.  To  a 
good  start  the  order  was  Dolly  McCone,  The  Lark,  Twang. 
At  the  half  McCone  led  by  a  neck,  The  Lark  second,  a  length 
from  Peregal.  Three  furlongs  from  home  the  order  was  the 
same.  Twang  now  made  his  move,  and  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch  was  but  a  neck  behind  the  leader,  Dolly  McCone, 
with  The  Lark  three  lengths  away,  Peregal  at  his  heels. 
Isom  kept  Twang  close  to  the  rails,  where  the  going  was  very 
heavy,  and  Dolly  McCone  came  on  down  the  dry  streak  and 
won,  while  Peregal,  well-ridden  by  Petars,  was  second,  im- 
mediatelv  behind  the  winner  and  half  a  length  in  front  of 
The   Lark,  who  was  third.    Time,  1.-19. 

FORTT-SEVEXTH   DAT — SATURDAY,  MARCH   10. 

Flattened  pocket-books  by  the  hundred  and  the  defeat  of 
four  warm  favorites  were  the  features  of  the  sport  at  Bay 
District  course  to  day.  If  a  sicker  lot  of  form-players  ever 
congregated  around  one  race  course  we  do  not 
want  to  gaze  on  their  funereal  faces.  After  the  first 
race  had  been  run  not  a  crumb  of  comfort  large 
enough  to  be  discovered  by  even  the  great  Lick 
observatory  magnifier  fell  to  the  students  of  form  in  San 
Francisco.  And  it  was  not  a  chilly  day,  either.  The  sun 
shone  benignly  from  a  sky  of  heavenly  blue,  and  the  track 
was  fast  drying  up.  However,  it  was  still  deep  and  slow  in 
spots,  and  a  mile  in  1:45  was  excellent  this  afternoon. 
Charley  Weber  rode  two  winner  in  fine  style,  while  Irving, 
Sloan  and  Bishop  had  winning  mounts  also.  The  attend- 
ance was  about  4,000  and  the  racing  fairly  exciting. 

Winifred  the  favorite,  got  away  well  in  the  first  race,  but 
old  Regal  soon  took  up  the  running,  leading  pat>t  the  half- 
pole  by  two  lengths.  Winifred  got  her  head  in  front  as  they 
swung  around  into  the  homestretch,  and  won  handily  by  two 
lengths  from   Vandalight,  who  ran  an  excellent  race. 

The  "dump"  of  the  meeting  came  in  the  second  race,  for 
two-year-olds.  Lillian  C,  half-sister  to  Charmion,  had  easily 
defeated  Diggs,  and  the  latter  in  turn  had  thrown  mud  in 
Sea  Spray's  face,  consequently  the  odds  of  3  to  10  offered  by 
the  bookmakers  seemed  liberal  enough.  Lillian  C.  led  al- 
most from  the  Hag-fall  up  to  the  last  furlong,  where  Sea 
Spray  astonished  a  very  large  majority  of  the  onlookers  by 
heading  the  cinch  and  wiuning  quite  handily  by  over  a 
length,  while  Monterey  even  appeared  from  the  press  stand 
to  have  nipped  the  place  in  the  last  stride.  However,  it 
was  very  close,  and  Lillian  C.  was  awarded  place  money. 
The  shock  of  Lillian  C.'s  defeat  was  terrible,  but  it  tends  to 
show  conclusively  that  horses  are  not  mere   machines  that

if  attended  to  properly,  will  do  the  same  amount  of  work 
every  day.     Monterey  was  last  away,  and  ran  a  grand  race. 

Another  backset  for  the  talent  came  in  the  next  race,  a 
handicap,  mile  and  an  eighth,  in  which  imp.  Slromboli  was 
a  prominent  favorite  played  for  many  thousands  of  dollars. 
He  ran  well  for  nearly  six  furlongs,  but  when  called  upoo 
failed  to  re-pond — in  fact,  he  fell  back  like  a  house  atire,  and 
finished  next  to  last.  Peril  opened  up  a  tremendous  gap, 
and  Royal  Flush  was  second,  several  lengths  from  the  bunch, 
until  about  three  furlongs  from  home.  wh?n  the  Darhin  Ally 
coughed,  and  Royal  Flush  shot  by  her,  not  thereafter  to  be 
headed,  winning  easily  bv  three  lengths  from  Oakland,  who 
laid  a  dozen  lengths  out  of  it  until  nearing  the  tinal  turn. 
Had  Oakland  been  sent  along  a  sixteenth  of  a  mile  further 
back  he  would  undoubtedly  have  made  it  warm  for  Royal 
Flush,  if  indeed  he  could  not  have  won.  Stromboli's  poor 
run  can  be  laid  at  the  door  of  over-training.  From  a  num- 
ber of  reputable  horsemen  we  have  it  that  the  big  Australian 
horse  was  given  a  strong  mile  and  a  quarter  run  on  Friday 
afternoon  and  a  mile  and  an  eighth  work-out  this  (Saturday) 
morning,  so  that  it  is  only  to  be  wondered  at  that  the  horse 
ran  well  for  even  six  furlongs.  Continual  drumming  will 
lake  the  foot  off  an  iron  horse. 

Red  Cloud,  who  acted  as  if  he  had  been  given  a  dose  of 
some  crazing  drug,  ran  like  a  wild  horse  in  the  steeplechase, 
winning  off  by  fifteen  lengths,  with  Templemore  second, 
nearly  as  far  from  Zampost.  Cascade,  the  Australian  "good 
thing,"  lost  ground  at  nearly  every  jump  and  showed  a  lack 
of  p  ice  that  puis  him  back  in  the  list  of  no-accounts  at  the 
jumping  game — at  least  he  will  not  do  over  low  jumps,  where 
it  takes  a  speedy  animal  to  win  a  steeplechase  or  a  hurdle 
race.     Wild  Oats'  poor  run  is  open  to -strong  criticism  too. 

Conde,  at  6  to  1,  won  the  last  race  by  a  short  head  from 
Ragner,  a  favorite  played  with  many  kinds  of  money. 
Charley  Weber's  ride  on  Conde  was  simply  superb.  Thirty 
yards  from  the  finish  the  race  looked  Ragner's  beyond  a 
doubt,  but  little  Weber  humped  himself,  and  desperately 
drove  Conde  in  a  winner  by  a  very  small  margin,  while  Clac- 
quer  closed  up  at  an  alarming  rate,  and  was  less  than  a 
length  behind  the  winner  at  the  close.

Winifred,  at  2\  to  1,  was  quite  a  favorite  in  the  first  race. 
Regal,  Peregal,  Happy  Band  and  Currency  were  at  6  to  1 
each,  Esperance  8,  Vandalight,  Morton  and  Haymarket  12  to

soon  dashed  to  the  fore,  leading  Winifred  two  lengths  at  the 
half,  Vandalight  third,  another  length  away.  "Winifred  got 
on  even  terms  with  old  Regal  at  the  three-quarter  pole,  and 
there  was  quite  a  drive  for  aboul  a  furlong,  but  getting  the 
dry  path,  Winifred  won  quite  handily  by  two  lengths,  Van-

Lillian  C.  appeared  to  have  a  lay-down  in  this  race,  and 
the  best  odds  offered  were  1  to  3.  1  to  4  was  the  price  in 
most  books.  Sea  Spray  was  at  5  to  1,  Cecil  S.  12,  Monterey. 
25  and  Australis  80  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  the  order  was  Cecil 
S.,  Lillian  C,  Australis,  Sea  Spray,  Monterey.  Lillian  C.  in- 
spired her  backers  with  confidence  by  going  into  the  lead  by 
a  length  in  the  first  half  dozen  strides,  and  by  this  margin 
led  Sea  Spray  into  the  straight.  Monterey  had  run  up  third, 
two  lengths  further  away.  Sea  Spray  gradually  improved 
his  position,  and  a  furlong  from  home  there  was  little  to 
choose  between  the  leading  pair.  A  sixteenth  from  the  end 
shouts  went  up  that  the  favorite  was  beaten,  and  it  proved 
true,  for  Sea  Spray  won  very  handily  by  over  a  length  with 
Johnny  Weber  working  with  might  and  main  on  the  favorite 
to  get  the  place.  Monterey  from  the  press  stand  appeared  to 
have  secured  that  honor  in  the  last  jump  by  a  nose,  but  Lil- 
lian C.'s  number  was  run  up  second  without  delay.  Time,

lared and  parsed  her,  leading  into  the  homestretch  by  two 
lengths.  Tuberville  now  cut  loose  from  the  rear  with  Oak-

Floodmore  was  drawn  from  the  race  after  the  pencilers 
had  been  booking  about  ten  minutes,  and  twenty  minutes 
was  given  for  a  new  book.  Wild  Oats,  at  2  to  1,  was 
favorite,  with  Red  Cloud  as  second  choice  at  3^  to  1.  Tem- 
plemore and  Zampost  were  at  4  to  1  each,  Cascade  5  to  1,  a 
lot  of  money  going  in  on  the  last-named  on  his  Australian 
reputation.  Red  Cloud  acted  as  if  he  had  been  drugged, 
running  into  a  couple  of  fences  as  if  blinded  before  the 
start  was  made,  and  altogether  acted  in  a  most  bewildering 
way.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  good  start,  and  Red  Cloud, 
last  away,  was  three  lengths  in  front  by  the  time  the  far 
center-field  jump  was  made  and  ten  lengths  to  the  good  over 
the  water-jump,  Templemore  beiog  second,  Zampost  third, 
imp.  Cascade  fourth,  half  a  leDgth  apart.  Templemore 
gained  on  Red  Cloud  going  up  the  hill  to  the  straight,  but 
Red  Cloud  drew  away  again  and  eventually  won  by  fifteen 
lengths,  Templemore  second,  ten  lengths  from  Zampost. 
There  was  something  of  a  fight  between  Zampost  and  Cas- 
cade just  after  making  the  last  jump,  but  Frank  Van  Ness' 
horse  beat  the  Australian  five  lengths  at  the  finish.  Wild

half  and  three-quarter  poles.  The  favorite  headed  Orville 
Appleby's  colt  as  they  straightened  out  in  the  homestretch, 
and  the  colt  came  again  and  led  Ragner  by  a  small  margin 
up  to  the  final  sixteenth,  where  Irving  shot  Ragner  to  the 
front  and  appeared  a  winner.  Again,  under  Charley  Weber's 
strong  urging,  Conde  came  up  to  do  battle,  and  in  a  hair- 
raising  finish  Conde  shot  in  a  winner  by  a  short  head,  while

FORTY-EIGHTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  MARCH  13. 

Once  more  the  favorites  were  floored.  It  was  even  worse 
slaughter  than  on  last  Saturday,  and  that  is  saying  consid- 
erable. The  choice  of  the  talent  got  home  in  the  first  event, 
and  then  one,  two,  three,  four  favorites  ate  the  dust  of  defeat. 
It  was  a  great  day  for  the  Weber  family.  Peter  Weber's 
splendid  filly  Sunrise  won  the  first  race,  and  Charley  Weber 
piloted  three  horses  to  victory,  one  a  15  to  1  shot  Sir 
Reginald  won  the  third  race  at  40  and  even  50  to  1,  Joe 
Murphy  took  the  third  in  camp  at  4  to  1,  while  Fly  wound 
up  a  memorable  day  to  form-players  by  scooping  in  the  last 
event  with  odds  of  7  Lol  against  his  chances.  The  track  was 
almost  faultless,  faster  by  several  seconds  than  we  have  seen 
it  in  two  months.  The  fields  were  much  larger  and  the  at- 
tendance was  increased.  Taken  all  in  all,  it  was  the  best 
day's  racing  witnessed  in  the  past  month. 

Sunrise,  the  favorite  in  the  first  race,  waited  on  Gasser  and 
Model  until  nearing  the  homestretch.  Collaring  the  pair 
about  furlong  from  home,  the  half-sister  to  El  Rayo  cantered 
in  a  winner  by  four  lengths,  Gasser  second,  one  and  one-half 
lengths  in  front  of  Model.  The  others  were  not  really  in 
the  hunt.    The  time  was  50  seconds — very  fair. 

Orizaba,  frvorite,  opened  up  a  gap  of  several  lengths  on 
everything  but  Melanitain  the  run  to  the  homestretch  in  the 
second  race,  then  Yac-edene,  a  15  to  1  shot,  ridden  by  Charley 
W7eber,  moved  up  and  won  very  handily  by  a  neck,  Chemuck 
second,  as  far  from  Boblink,  who  made  a  cracking  good  run 
from  the  rear.  Melanita  and  Orizaba  quit  badly  iu  the 
straight. 

The  longest  shot  of  either  meeting  now  gathered  in  the 
spoils — Six  Reginald,  who  was  at  50  to  1  for  a  time,  30  to  1  at 
the  post.  Little  Tuberville  rode  this  dasher  of  the  hopes  of 
the  talent,  Bill  Howard,  favorite,  led  Sir  Reginald  into  the 
homestretch  by  two  lengths,  and  then  died  away,  Sir  Regi- 
nald winning  by  a  neck  from  Monowai,  who  made  a  phe- 
nomenal run  from  the  rear,  after  being  badly  interfered  with, 
beating  Joe  Cotton  a  neck  for  place.  A  nose  behind  Cotton 
wan  North.     It  was  a  stunning  race. 

Happy  Day,  a  heavily-played  favorite,  ran  sixth  in  the 
fourth  race.  Nutwood  led  to  the  homestretch  by  a  couple  of 
lengths,  then  Joe  Murphy  was  turned  loose,  and  won  cleverly 
from  the  dangerous-looking  Dolly  McCone  hy  a  length,  with 
old  Ja  Ja  lapped  on  McCone.  The  lime  was  1:28 — extra  fast 

Fly  threw  his  jockey  before  the  slart  in  the  iast  race,  and 
ran  around  to  the  saddling  paddock  before  he  was  stopped. 
(Jetting  away  second,  he  and  Clara  While  ran  lapped  to  the 
homestretch,  where  the  latter  looked  a  winner  all  over.  Fly 
came  again,  however,  and  won  a  gamely-contested  race  by  a 
nose,  Clara  White  sbcond,  half  u  length  only  from  Border 
Lassie  Tillie  S.,  the  favorite,  was  a  bang-up  fourth.  It  was 
certainly  a  grand  race.

who  was  three  lengths  from  the  bunch.  At  the  final  turn 
Gasser,  Model,- Sunrisi  was  the  order,  half  lengths  apart.  A

speed  and  liking  for  a  short  route. 

The  famous  race  horse,  Boundless,  met  with  a  serious  acci- 
dent at  Little  Rock,  Ark.,  Thursday  which  will  compel  his 
retirement  from  the  turf.  Thenoted  winner  of  the  American 
Derby  of  1893,  together  with  a  large  string  of  other  horses 
owned  by  J.  E.  Cushing,  arrived  there  several  months  ago  for 
the  winter  and  took  up  quarters  at  the  Little  Rock  Jockey 
Club  grounds.  Yesterday  morning  Jockey  Graham  took  the 
animal  out  for  its  daily  exercise.  After  coursing  the  track 
for  a  few  moments  it  was  discovered  that  the  horse  was  lame. 
It  was  found  that  he  had  broken  one  of  the  tendons  of  his 
right  leg.  Mr.  Cushiug  says  he  will  send  his  favorite  racer 
to  his  stables  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  Sunday,  where  he  will  be 
used  in  the  future  for  stud  purposes  only. 

Meg  Mebrtlies,  the  dam  of  Dandie  Dinmont,  died  two 
weeks  ago  at  Prince  Soltykoff  s  stud  farm.  She  w<is  foaled  in 
1874,  and  was  by  Macgregor,  dam  Meteor,  by  Thunderbolt. 
As  a  three-year-old  she  won  the  Stand  handicap  at  New- 
market, and  two  races  in  one  day  at  Great  Yarmouth  for 
Prince  Soltykoff.  She  went  to  the  stud  in  1878,  and  the 
following  year  foaled  Merry  News,  by  Queen's  Messenger. 
Among  her  other  progeny  were  Bohemian  Girl,  by  Balfe  ; 
Nova  Scotia,  by  Bertram  or  New  Holland  ;  Dandie  Dinmont, 
by  Silvio;  Mephisto,  by  Robert  the  Devil;  Turlygood,  by 
Thurio;  Hayraddin,  by  Thurio;  Zamet,  by  Thurio;  Megale, 
by  Satiety,  and  Sequin,  by  Gold.  Last  year  she  was  barren 
to  Gold.    Her  youngster  by  Sheen,  just  foaled,  is*doing  well. 

It  is  possible  we  shall  have  another  importation  of  acrjck 
English  stallion.  Major  Hancock,  of  the  Ellerslie  stud,  in 
Virginia  has  sent  a  commission  to  England  for  the  purchase 
of  a  stallion  ;  "  a  son  of  Hampton,  Augustine  or  Tristan  pre- 
ferred :  from  the  Queen  Bertha,  Devotion  or  Sappho  tribe  ; 
must  have  won  some  important  races,"  are  his  conditions  of 
sale.  Major  Hancock  finds  Eolus  at  twenty-six  years,  though 
strong  and  well,  cannot  in  the  course  of  nature  long  survive. 
He  has  also  Charaxus,  but  he  needs  an  outcross  for  his  Eolus 
and  Charaxus  fillies.  He  has  Eon,  but  cannot  breed  Eolus 
mares  to  him.  A  new  English  stallion  at  Ellerslie  is  needed 
to  carry  on  Eolus'  triumphs. — "  Capt.  Absolute." 

The  victory  of  Cardinal  at  Kempton  Park  revives  the  his- 
tory of  this  game  English  horse.  He  was  bought,  together 
with  the  redoubtable  Ilex,  over  a  lunch  at  Romano's  by 
George  Masterman.  He  was  lent  by  this  gentleman  to  a  well 
known  treasury  counsel,  who  hunted  him  for  the  season,  and 
even  rode  him  in  the  Row.  Next  he  was  broken  to  harness, 
and  was  one  of  the  horses  driven  by  Lord  Lonsdale  in  his 
wager  "against  time"  wnh  Lord  Shrewsbury.  He  then 
found  bis  way  to  Tattersall's,  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  new 
owner,  and,  after  another  season's  hunting,  disappeared  for  a 
twelvemonth.  He  reappeared  at  Kempton  last  Saturday  and 
won  the  Staines  Steeplechase,  beating  elevea  opponents. 

Though  the  institution  of  the  new  jockey  club  was  directly 
the  result  of  the  efforts  made  by  newspaper  writers,  representa- 
tives of  the  press  ^re  treated  by  the  oew  society's  stewards 
with  scant  courtesy.  Reporters  seem  to  be  a  thorn  in  their 
side,  and  to  escape  this. thorn  they  even  go  so  far  as  to  not 
acquaint  their  secretary  with  any  of  their  plans.  All  the 
meetings  of  the  stewards  are  of  the  star  chamber  order, 
though  it  has  been  proven  time  and  time  again  that  secret 
procedure  in  turf  matters  has  never  been  successful.  The 
newspapers  have  been  lavish  in  giving  space  to  reports  of  the 
doings  of  the  new  jockey  club,  and  the  treatment  now  ac- 
corded to  reporters  and  others  is  a  curious  sort  of  return  for 
the  courtesy  and  good  will  shown.  The  jockey  club,  how- 
ever, is  yet  in  iU  callow  youth  and  will,  undoubtedly,  learn. —

A  late  telegram  announces  that  R.  C.  Pate's  Mexican  racing 
venture  may  not  tarn  out  as  thorough  a  failure  after  all  as  it 
is  at  present  considered.  When  he  returned  to  try  to  effect 
some  setttement  of  Mb  affairs  at  the  Mexican  capitol,  Mr. 
Pate  submitted  a  proposition  to  the  authorities,  which,  if 
accepted,  would  enable  him  to  resurrect  his  enterprise.  Now 
it  is  said  that  the  Mexican  government  has  acceded  to  every 
request,  and,  in  addition,  ample  financial  assistance  has  been 
tendered  by  the  local  capitalists.  It  will  be  remembered  that 
almost  a  hundred  American  selling-platers  were  bought  by 
rich  Mexicans,  who  are  now  anxious  to  have  a  chance  to  race 
their  purchases.  It  is  further  related  that  some  adequate 
means  of  transportation  from  the  city  to  the  track  will  be 
forthwith  provided,  in  which  case  the  attendance  might  war- 
rant the  giving  of  reasonable  purees,  despite  the  prejudicial 
location  of  ths  grounds.  AH  things  point,  however,  to  the 
Mexicans  having  the  sport  to  themselves  after  the  Hippo- 
drome del  Penon  is  resuscitated.  It  will  be  hard  to  persuade 
'  American  owners  to  again  move  their  stable  to  the  Azlec 
capital. — Horseman.         

Like  all  the  other  horses  owned  and  sold  by  John  Har- 
per, the  horses  lately  sold  by  him  had  no  sooner  changed 
ownership  than  they  began  immediately  to  display  their 
good  qualities.  It  seemed  that  ill  luck  followed  him  during 
his  entire  racing  career.  About  three  weeks  ago  we  made 
mention  of  the  sale  of  Hotspur,  the  thoroughbred  racer,  for 
$300.  Prior  to  the  sale  he  had  been  started  many  times  dur- 
ing the  California  Jockey  Club's  meeting  and  had  showed  no 
great  mivit.  Last  Friday  his  new  owner  started  him  in  one 
of  the  most  -important  races  of  the  meeting,  in  which  the 
purse  amounted  to  $400.  He  won  the  race  so  handily  that 
his  owner  won  not  only  the  purse,  but  also  several  thousand 
dollars  placed  on  odds  against  his  horse.  We  predict  simi- 
lar good  fortune  throughout  the  season  for  the  person  who 
will  be  fortunate  enough  to  become  the  next  possessor  of 
Brillianline,  Mr.  Harper's  pacing  mare  with  a  record  of 
'  2:17}.  Mr.  Harper  has  offered  this  speedy  mare  for  "a  mere 
iODg" — a  price  that  should  be  of  as  many  thousands  as  it  is 
hundreds  ot  dollars.  A  change  of  ownership  would  prob- 
ibly  in  a  few  months  place  her  with  a  record  that  would 
nve  her  a  world-wide  reputation.  Such  is  the  opinion 
re  have  heard  expressed  by  knowing  horsemen  who  are 
competent  and  reliable.  As  it  is,  she  has  gone  begging  for  a 
Jorchaser  thus  far,  but  before  long  she  will  be  heard  of  in 
iew  hands. — Solano  Republican. 


There  will  be  two  running  meetings  at  the  Point  Breeze 
track  this  year,  one  in  June  and  one  in  September,  and  im- 
provements to  cost  $25,000  will  be  made.  A  syndicate  has 
leased  the  Point  Breeze  track  from  the  Philadelphia  Driving 
Park  Association  for  one  year,  with  the  privilege  of  twelve, 
the  Driving  Park  Association  reserving  two  weeks  for  trot- 
ling  meetings.  The  first  meeting  will  begiu  June  oth  and 
continue  fiiteen  days.  The  second  meeting,  which  will  also 
be  of  fifteen  days'  duration,  will  begin  the  latter  part  of  Sep- 
tember. 

Judge  Creveling  took  decisive  action  Monday  at  Chi- 
cago toward  lessening  the  chances  of  unfair  racing  at  Roby 
by  the  wholesale  weeding  out  of  stables  looked  upon  as  unde- 
sirable, with  "  suspicious  racing  "  as  the  announced  cause. 
The  following  owners  were  ordered  to  remove  their  horses 
from  the  track  at  once:  J.  McNamara,  owner  of  Western 
Star;  Frank  Taylor,  with  Tom  Karl,  Tylarm  and  others; 
the  White  City  Stable,  with  Lilly  Lochiel  and  Earl;  L.  J. 
Knight,  with  Hawkeye,  Petticoat  and  Flora  B.  Jack  New- 
man, of  that  stable,  was  fined  §100  and  ordered  to  get  out. 
Last  Saturday  Newman  ran  up  Tom  Karl  $210  in  the  selling 
race,  and  when  the  horse  was  knocked  down  to  him  he  said 
he  had  no  money  and  therefore  could  not  purchase  the  horse. 
Hawkeye  ran  second  in  the  race,  and  Newman's  bid  for  him 
was  simply  to  get  a  slice  of  the  amounts  due  to  the  second 
horse  over  the  entered  price. 

The  Lexington  correspondent  of  the  Chicago  Times  says 
Ed  Corrigan  seems  to  have  another  jewel  of  a  broodmare  in 
Falsetto's  daughter,  Jennie  Treacy,  who  is  the  dam  of  the 
Isaac  Murphy  filly  Kitty  Scott,  who  has  won  both  her  starts 
in  San  Francisco,  in  one  week,  beating  creditable  fields  in 
good  time.  Kitty  Scott  is  an  own  sister  to  Emma,  who  was 
a  creditable  winner  last  year  and  in  1S92  as  a  two-year-old, 
and  won  no  less  than  eight  races.  Jennie  Treacy  is  now  ten 
years  old,  and  was  until  she  went  wrong  the  crack  two-year- 
old  filly  of  the  West  in  18S6,  winningsuch  events  as  the  Gas- 
ton Hotel  stakes  at  Memphis,  the  Ladies'  and  Elmendorf 
stakes  at  Louisville,  the  Clipsetta  stakes  at  Latonia,  and  the 
Sale  and  Livery  Stable  and  Hotel  stakes  at  St.  Louis.  Mr. 
Corrigan  has  always  had  a  very  soft  spot  in  his  heart  for 
Jennie  Treacy,  and  her  success  in  the  stud  for  this  reason  is 
all  the  more  gratifying  to  the  master  of  Hawthorne.  The 
yearling  brother  to  Rorka,by  Himyar,  dam  The  Sweeper,  by 
imp.  Mortemer,  whc  is  owner  by  Edward  Frazer,  Sheriff  of 
Fayette  County,  Kentucky,  is  said  to  resemble  the  unbeaten 
Domino  in  size  and  conformation,  as  well  as  in  color.  This 
youngster  has  more  size  at  the  same  age  than  his  sister,  who 
has  during  her  career  won  thirteen  races,  a  number  of  which 
were  in  first-class  company  and  run  in  rapid  time.

"Sfeaking  of  the  depression  in  the  horse  business,"  said 
William  Vioget,  the  well-known  trainer  and  breeder  to  a  re- 
porter in  San  Jose  last  week,  "I  will  admit  that  the  ordinary 
horse  has  no  market,  but  the  standard  horse  brings  its  full 
value  to-day.  I  have  two  fillies,  nine  months  old,  for  which 
I  have  refused  $500  each.  La  Fletcha  (the  arrow),  by  Az- 
moor,  he  by  Electioneer;  dam  Mamie  C,  by  Hercules;  dam 
Meta,  she  by  Piedmont,  2:17^;  he  by  Almont,  by  Abdallah 
15;  second  dam  Mecca,  dam  of  Fly,  2:29],  by  Mohawk 
Chief,  by  Hambletonian  10;  third  dam  Mayfly,  2:30V  (dam  of 
Bonita,  2:18i).  The  other  is  Delfrida,  by  Eros  (ten  in  the  list 
from  2:14  to  2:30),  he  by  Electioneer,  sire  of  more  animals  in 
the  2:30  list  than  any  other  living  or  dead;  dam  Son'ag 
Mohawk,  the  greatest-producing  mare  of  the  world  for  her 
age.  Dam  of  Delfrida,  Abbie,  by  Almont  (33),  dam  Norma, 
2:33i,damof  Norval,  2:14A;  and' Lucy  Cuyler,  trial  2:154, 
and  half  mile  to  wagon  in  l:05£,  by  Alexander's  Norman  25, 
sire  of  Lulu,  2:15,  and  May  Queen,  2:20.  I  think  people 
should  pay  morealtention  to  the  cross  in  breeding  their  ani- 
mals. To  get  speed  one  must  breed  to  speed-producing  ! 
families.  The  same  rule  should  be  observed  on  the  dam's 
side  also.  Animals  of  such  breeding  will  surely  finda:eady 
market.  I  am  always  willing  to  put  aside  fancy  pedigrees 
without  speed  in  favor  of  speed  produciog  families." 

The  Duke  of  Beaufort  has  retired  from  the  English  turf. 
He  has  been  always  considered  one  of  the  mos*  thorough  | 
sportsman  in  England,  being  exceedingly  popular,  but  always  ; 
rather  unfortunate.  He  never  succeeded  in  winning  the 
Derby,  though  he  won  the  Two  Thousand  Guineas  twice  with 
Vauban  and  Petronel,  the  Oaks  with  Reve  d'Or,  and  the  One 
Thousand  Guineas  with  Reve  d'Or  and  Siberia.  He  was  suc- 
cessful in  the  Prince  of  Wales'  stake  with  Vauban,  Pepper 
and  Salt  and  Rustic,  and  would  have  woo  this  prize  a  fourth 
time  with  Reve  d'Or  had  she  not  been  interfered  with  by  a 
blundering  policeman.  The  Duke's  reputation  is  unblemished, 
and  altogether  he  may  be  taken  as  a  type  cf  the  highest  class 
English  owner.  He  pinned  his  faith  to  the  Blecklock  blood, 
and  in  consequence  it  is  to  be  found  predominating  in  his 
stock  which  will  soon  be  sold.  In  a  true  sportsmanlike  spirit 
he  sent  Slrathrose  to  America  last  year  to  win  the  Columbian 
Derby,  but  unfortunately  made  the  mistake,  not  altogether 
uncommon  in  England,  of  believing  thata  good  selling-plater 
was  fit  company  for  American  stake  horses.  The  long  delay 
at  the  post  and  the  unfortunate  accident  which  befell  his 
horse  before  the  start  occasioned  much  captious  criticism  in 
the  English  press,  but  under  the  mest  favorable  circumstances 
Strathrose  never  could  have  won.  Turf  men  on  both  sides 
the  Atlantic  will  regret  the  Duke  of  Beaufort's  retirement  be- 
cause in  him  racing  loses  one  of  its  staunchest  supporters  and 
one  whose  silk  was  never  soiled  with  even  a  suspicion  of 
crookedness.  The  blue  and  white  hoops  will  be  missed  id 
England  for  many  a  long  day. 


President  J.  G.  K.  Lawrexce,  of  the  Coney  Island 
Jockey  Club,  has  denied  to  a  representative  of  the  New  York 
Herald  that  the  club  has  decided  to  reduce  the  value  of  the 
Suburban  one-half.  President  Lawrence  thinks  the  suggestion 
a  good  one,  but  no  definite  action  has  been  as  yet  taken  by 
the  club.  Two  hundred  and  two  entries  have  been  made  to 
the  steeplechase  and  hurdle  stakes,  which  closed  on  March  1. 
They  are  as  follows  :  Grand  National  Steeplechase,  48  ;  Hur- 
dle Selling  Slakes,  51 ;  Bay  Hurdle  Race,  48  ;  Steeplechase 
Selling  Stakes,  55.  Among  the  horses  entered  are  Ballarat, 
Demuth,  Oakwood,  Tom  Flynn,  Walcott,  The  Ironmaster, 
May  Win,  Persistence,  Miles  Standish,  Westmoreland,  Sam 
Weller,  Ingot,  Southerner  and  Glenfallon. 

Had  the  great  colt  Meddler  been  trained,  J.  W.  Rogers 
would  have  handled  this  great  son  of  two  great  turf  perform- 
ers— St.  Gatien  and  Busybody.  A  correspondent  mentioned 
the  matter  to  the  trainer  of  Troubadour  a  day  or  two  ago,  and 
he  said  that  from  all  he  had  heard  of  Meddler  the  colt  must 
be  a  good  one,  and,  as  he  was  only  a  four-year-old,  he  was 
sorry  not  to  have  had  the  chance  of  seeing  what  was  in  him. 
Trainer  Rogers  enjoys  as  great  confidence  and  respect  as  any 
of  his  fellows.  When  he  left  Ed  Corrigan  and  the  latter  was 
in  a  "  huff"  because  Rogers  would  not  remain,  the  owner  of 
Freeland,  after  settling  up  with  the  trainer  in  full,  went  down 
in  bis  pocket  and  insisted  on  the  acceptance  of  a  new  $1,000 
bill.  Rogers  demurred,  as  the  amount  was  not  due  him,  but 
Corrigan  put  it  as  it  was  meant — a  present  for  faithful  ser- 
vice— and  carried  his  point.  The  occurrence  is  a  stroDg 
commentary  od  the  side  of  a  man  not  as  well  understood  as 
he  might  be,  and  on  the  other  of  an  employee  whose  services 
could  not  be  measured  in  money. — Live  Stock  Record. 

The  veterinarians  and  the  blacksmiths  have  never  agreed 
very  well  upon  the  question  of  horseshoeing,  and  it  is  pro- 
bable that  their  differences  will  not  be  adjusted  for  some 
time  to  come.  The  veterinarians  generally  accuse  the  black- 
smiths of  knowing  nothing  about  the  anatomy  of  a  horse's 
foot,  and  in  their  opinion  they  are  therefore  incapable  of 
shoeing  a  horse  intelligently.  On  the  other  hand,  the 
wielders  of  the  rasp  and  hammer,  while  admitting  that  the 
veterinarians  know  all  about  the  anatomy  of  the  horse's  foot, 
say  that  they  know  nothing  whatever  of  the  practical  work 
of  shoeing  him.  In  a  degree  perhaps  both  are  correct,  but 
there  seems  to  be  no  good  reasons  whv  the  average  black- 
smith of  the  future  should  not  have  a  fair  knowledge  of  the 
anatomy  of  the  horse's  foot  and  leg :  indeed,  there  are  some 
blacksmiths  now  that  possess  this  useful  knowledge,  and  there 
are  indications  that  in  a  few  years  more  the  blacksmith  that 
does  not  possess  it  will  occupy  a  position  similar  to  that 
occupied  by  the  unregistered  veterinary  surgeon  of  to-day. —

The  genial  turfman,  Matt  Storn,  accompanied  by  the 
famous  steeplechase  horseman,  Pat  Meany,  visited  San  Jose 
last  Sunday,  and  were  much  pleased  with  what  they  saw. 
Naglee  Burk's  place  Mr.  Storn  describes  as  one  of  the  most 
charmiDg  and  perfectly  equipped  racing  establishments  in 
this  country,  and  under  Harry  Mason's  management  he  ex- 
pects the  place  and  the  horses  now  there  to  become  famous. 
The  bay  colt  by  Peel,  dam  imp.  Janet  N.,  by  MacGregnr,  he 
declares  is  one  of  the  most  perfect  two-year-olds  his  eyes  ever 
rested  on,  and  he  has  shown  that  he  is  afflicted  with  speed, 
as  his  half-sister,  Wandering  Nju,  is' also.  A  chestnut  colt 
by  Flambeau  from  Irish  Lass,  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly,  is  a 
finely-formed  big  fellow,  while  Mr.  E.  Duffy's  chestnut  colt 
Examiner  (brother  to  Armitage),  by  Surinam,  dam  imp.  Pa- 
loma,  by  The  Drummer,  has  improved  astonishingly  in  Mr. 
Mason's  hands.  If  he  is  as  good  as  he  looks  he  will  be  hard 
to  beat.  Agitato  is  running  out  in  a  paddock,  and  has  not 
improved  nearly  as  much  as  the  others.  One  of  Mr.  Burk's 
broodmares  has  already  dropped  a  foal  by  imp.  Brutus,  while 
two  more  are  due  to  foal  in  a  day  or  two.  Janet  N.  goes  to 
St.  Saviour  this  season,  and  three  or  four  others  besides.  The 
Burk  stables  are  built  in  a  circle,  and  a  beautiful  fountain 
graces  the  center.  The  place,  which  is  at  the  foot  of  San 
Fernando  street,  has  every  convenience  for  man  or  beast,  and 
is  lit  up  at  night  by  electric  lights.  Charley  Boots  lakes  great 
pleasure  in  showing  his  friends  the  sons  and  daughters  of 
imp.  Brutus,  of  which  there  are  seventeen  in  training  at  the 
San  Jose  track.  They  are  the  most  uniform  lot  of  good- 
lookers  seen  in  many  a  day.  The  majority  of  the  Boots 
youngsters  will  be  shipped  to  Brooklyn  next  month.  Old 
Sir  Walter  is  at  the  ranch,  and  will  scarcely  race  until  late 
in  the  season.  George  Bayless  has  charge  of  these  horses, 
and  will  greatly  add  to  his  reputation  with  them.  St.  Saviour 
and  Greenback  are  looking  as  fine  as  silk.  Imp.  Loyalist  Mr. 
Storn  did  not  see,  but  it  is  understood  he  is  in  good  shape.  Al- 
together the  trip  was  one  full  of  pleasure. 

The  betting  problem  is  becoming  a  matter  of  very  serious 
import  in  Australia.  There  is  no  legal  form  of  betting  in 
the  Colonies  except  in  South  Australia,  where  the  totalisator 
(pari-^utuel)  only  is  recognized  bylaw.  With  regard  to  the 
general  use  of  the  machine  in  the  other  Colonies  a  writer  in 
a  recent  number  of  the  Ausiralas'an  says :  "The  public 
have  been  in  favor  of  the  totalisator  all  along,  but  it  has 
been  no  one's  particular  task  to  push  it  on.  The 
small  but  energetic  minority  fighting  against  will, 
however,  have  to  meet  something  more  than 
apathy  from  the  public  in  future.  It  will  be  some  time 
before  the  totalisator  can  come  into  force — not  for  another  year 
or  so,  perhaps — but  come  it  must  some  day.  Owners  of  horses 
in  a  good  many  cases  were  until  lately  against  it,  as  they  said 
they  could  not  back  their  horses  in  the  way  they  would  like  on 
the  machine.  I  have  noticed  of  late,  however,  a  distinct  dis- 
inclination to  accept,  without  cavil,  the  cramped  odds  offered 
by  bookmakers,  and  if  slakes  can  be  increased  threefold — as 
they  undoubtedly  would  be — bv  the  totalisator,  owners  must 
realize  that  it  will  not  be  necessary  for  ihern  to  risk  so  much 
money  in  bets — the  stakes  with  a  pound  or  two  on  the  machine 
will  bring  them  in  quite  enough."  As  in  Australia,  the  ob- 
jections to  theu^e  of  mutual  machines  here  sre  mainly  those  of 
prejudice  and  inexperieuce.  That  the  machines  would  soon 
become  popular  with  the  public,  and  that  they  would  have 
the  capacity  to  handle  the  business  effectively  can  hardly  be 
doubted.  At  the  same  time,  inasmuch  as  all  forms  of  betting 
on  race  tracks  are  now  legalized  i'.i  tbis  State  under  the  pro- 
visions of  the  Ives  Act,  it  would  seem  the  part  of  policy  to 
remedy  such  evils  as  exist  in  the  government  of  the  betting 
ring  rather  than  provoke  contention  from  so  powerful  a  body 
as  the  bookmakers.  The  Jockey  Club  will,  it  is  to  be  hoped, 
find  a  successful  solution  of  the  betting  question  in  its  relation 
to  the  proposed  turf  reforms  without  fomenting  the  internal 
dissensions  and  discords  that  have  in  the  past  proved  the  main 
source  of  all  the  anti-race  track  legislation  that  has  been  at- 
tempted.

Vocabulary  of  the  "Tout." 


Good  start.    Won  easily.    Winner  W.  C.  Bishop's  b  h  by  Red  Iron— Maggie  D.    Truiued  by  ownert 


Eace-track  phrase?,  as  intricate  to  the  un- 
initiated as  a  Fiji  Inlander's  love  soig,  are 
fast  creeping  into  all  walks  of  life,  and  the 
slang  which  makes  up  the  vocabulary  of  the 
turfman  is  liable  to  be  heard  in  the  social 
small  talk  of  the  dav,  in  tbe  rigid  business 
house,  and  frequently  in  the  clubs.  Where 
some  of  the  terms  originated  is  a  mystery, 
but  the  genuine  "  tout  "  speaks  nothing  else, 
and  his  jargon  is  at  once  interestingand  novel; 
Nearly  all  of  the  expressions,  like  the  thieves 
lore,  probably  came  from  tbe  English  course, 
and  the  English  race-going  people  are  more 
familiar  with  the  words  of  the  stable  boy  or 
lower  class  belter  than  the  American  patrons 
of  this  sport  of  the  kings.  The  running  track 
has  loaned  some  of  its  choice  ones  to  the 
trotters,  and  tbe  mixture  at  tbe  tracks  where 
the  long-tailed  light-harness  performers  win 
stakes  and  purses  is  a  combination  of  later 
years. 

The  modern  '■  tout,"  this  genius  being  one 
who  almost  sleeps  on  tracks  and  imparts  his 
early  morning  information  to  you  when  half 
of  the  winnings  of  your  bet  are  promised  him, 
can  spin  it  ott  by  the  yard,  aud  some  of  his 
expressions  are  indeed  unique. 

"There  she  goes  all  to  pieces,"  he  will  ex- 
claim as  the  tilly  he  has  picked  to  win  sud- 
denly wavers  and  begins  to  fall  to  the  rear.  He 
may  say  something  about  her  "shutting  up 
like  a  jack-knife  "  as  she  drops  into  the 
"ruck,"  which  name  is  applied  to  the  tail  end 
of  the  procession.  Should  she  go  out  of  her 
proper  course  in  running  he  will  inform  you 
that  she  has  "  bolted  "  and  he  will  call  ber  a 
''borer"  if  she  happens  to  swerve  against  an- 
other horse  impeding  his  progress.  If  she 
should  have  been  pulled  for  some  reasons  he 
bad  not  learned  he  may  call  her  a  "dead  'tin," 
meaning  that  she  was  not  intended  to  win,  but 
if  he  applies  the  word  "duller"  to  her  that 
means  she  couldn't  beat  anything. 

On  the  turf  the  term  "dead  beat"  has  two 
meanings.  It  is  sometimes  applied  to  a  horse 
completely  exhausted,  and  is  always  applied 
to  any  man  who  fails  to  pay  his  debts.  In 
tbe  latter  sense  the  turf  is  no  diilerent  from 
any  other  place. 

"Why,  he'Jl  lead  from  end  to  end,"  would 
signify  that  the  animal  in  question  will  be  in 
front  of  the  others  from  the  start  to  the  finish. 
Should  another  horse  come  up  suddenly  and 
dispute  every  inch  of  the  way  the  newcomer 


is  said  to  "challenge"  the  other  and  when  he 
arrives  alongside  of  him  and  there  is  no  dif- 
ference between  there  noses  from  the  stand 
and  the  two  are  racing  "  head  and  head."  It 
might  seem  to  be  a  brsach  of  etiquette  to  hear 
a  man  say  that  some  old  horse  is  the  "  swell- 
est  maiden"  on  the  track.  This  would  indi- 
cate that  the  horse  is  the  best  one  that  ha3 
never  won  a  race. 

Should  a  track  follower  tell  you  that  he  saw 
a  certain  hor.-e  out  for  a  "  pipe  opener"  in  the 
morning,  but  he  did'nt  "negotiate"  well,  he 
is  intending  to  convey  the  information  that  in 
morningexercise  the  horse  would  not  jump  or 
run  well. 

The  betting  terms  on  the  track  are  quite 
amusing  and  some  of  the  expressions  for 
amounts  of  money  are  on  a  par  with  the 
"super,"  "benny,"  "mush,"  and  other  com- 
mon terras  among  the  light-fingered  gentry. 
"  I  run  a  pony  into  a  century  and  then  dropped 
the  whole  thing  tryiog  to  run  it  into  a 
monkey."  The  pony  is  $25,  the  century  $100, 
and  the  monkey  $500.  Should  he  have  won 
the  last  bet  and  tbe  bookmaker,  taking  time 
by  the  forelock,  and  his  cash-box  by  the 
handle,  disappeared  without  paying  ofT,  the 
dishonest  gentleman  would  have  carried  the 
name  "welcher"  around  witb  him  the  rest  of 
his  life.  The  words  "  smch,"  "  moral,"  "  lead 
pipe,"  and  a  few  others  not  UDlike  them  are 
used  to  indicate  that  a  horse  cannot  lose  un- 
less he  should  fall  down. 

To  win  "  haods  down  "  is  to  reach  the  wire 
first  without  effort,  or  "  in  a  bloody  canter," 
as  a  track  follower  might  observe,  in  bis  philo- 
sophical way.  And  when  they  say  a  book- 
maker, the  man  who  lays  odds  against  your 
judgment,  is  '*  rounding"  up  his  book  they 
mean  he  is  trying  to  get  money  on  some 
horses  which  have  not  been  heavily  backed,  so 
that  no  matter  who  wins  his  percentage  is 
there  just  the  same. 

"Come"  means  a  horse  which  is  catching 
the  leaders  very  rapidly,  and  "coming  again  " 
means  one  that  has  done  this,then  fallen  back, 
and  suddenly  gaining  courage  and  speed 
makes  another  dash  for  the  front.  Should  he 
jump  on  to  the  hind  legs  of  one  in  the  lead  he 
will  be  said  lo  have  "cut  him  down,"  and 
should  horse  or  jockey  fall  just  as  they  are  in 
sight  of  the  money  somebody  will  probably 
say,  "he  came  down  a  cropper." 

The  vocabulary  of  the  follower  of  the  track 
is  quite  extensive  and  very  catching,  for  the 
pleasant  little  dinuers  after  the  Derby  or 
handicap  has  been  decided  are  likely  to  have 
lots  of  such  expressions  mixed  in  the  ;  1 
prattle  while  the  viands  are  being  disci;

lanti,  Michigan.  

The  Electioneer  mare  Linda,  owned  by  E.  H.^Harritnan, 
owner  of  Stamboul,  is  one  of  the  fastest  mares  driven  on  the 
New  York  roads.  

A  black  horse  called  Palo  Alto  got  a  record  of  2:25}  at 
Watenowu  June  2s,  1893.  Names  of  great  horses  are  bound 
to  be  perpetuated,  it  seems. 

E.  H.  Harrimvx,  owner  of  Stamboul,  2:07*,  is  negotia- 
ting for  another  large  farm  in  Orange  County,  N.  Y.,  where 
he  alreadv  owns  1,500  acres. 


The  Year  Book  of  1S93  is  of  little  use  to  breeders  unless 
they  purchase  the  one  for  1892.  They  will  be  found  to  be 
inseparable  by  all  students  of  pedigrees. 

The  green  three-year-old  Limonero,  by  Piedmont,  2:17^, 
out  of  Lulaoeer,  by  Electioneer,  grandam  Lula,  2:15,  will  do 
to  keep  an  eye  on  wheu  Faybouid  has  him  ready. 

A  rule  should  be  made  by  all  associations  that  no  rider 
or  driver  in  a  race  should  look-  backward.  No  horse  that  is 
in  the  lead  is  expected  to  get  out  of  the  way  for  another. 

Iago,  2:17],  will  be  a  candidate  for  2:10  honors  this  year. 
Pete  Williams  has  seen  enough  of  this  horse's  speed  to  con- 
vsnce  him  that  he  will  be  worth  taking  through  the  Mon- 
tana Circuit  this  fall.      

The  owner  of  Creole,  2:15,  at  Honolulu,  H.  I.,  is  well 
pleased  with  the  black  stallion.  He  U  the  "  boss  of  the 
road,"  not  only  as  a  pleasant  and  stylish  driver,  but  as  the 
speediest  horse  ever  seen  there. 

The  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association  has  decided 
on  hanging  up  between  $12,000  and  $15,000  for  the  Spring 
meeting.  Owing  to  some  minor  details  the  programme  will 
not  be  published  until  next  week. 

McKiNKEY,  2:11  J,  will  not  be  campaigned  by  Mr.  Durfee 
this  year.  He  will  have  Gossiper,  2:14J,  ready  when  the 
bell  rings,  and  when  the  circuit  ends  he  will  have  two  stal- 
lions with  exactly  the  same  records. 

Last  week  S.  H.  Crane,  of  Turlock,  purchased  of  G.  H. 
Warlow,  of  Fresno,  the  three-year-old  son  of  Clovis  and 
Athalia  (dam  of  Athadon  2:23)  by  Harkaway.  He  will  have 
biiu  on  the  California  curcuit  this  fall. 


W.  B.  McDonald,  of  Buffalo,  had  taken  up  Maggie,  2:20, 
by  Dexter  Prince  again,  and  she  is  showing  great  speed. 
Last  year  Maggie  never  reached  form,  but  when  right  this 
season  will  be  a  money  winner  in  her  class. 


OrriXGER,  2:1 11,  is  looking  better  than  he  ever  did  ;  he 
has  taken  on  considerable  flesh  and  is  able  to  eat  well.  All 
last  year  this  horse  was  "off  his  feed,"  but  this  year  he 
will  be  "off  in  the  lead"  and  will  stay  there. 

Stranger,  the  son  of  General  Washington  and  Goldsmith 
Maid,  that  John  H.  Shults  bought  last  year  and  placed  in  the 
stud  at  Parkville  Farm,  was  never  trained,  but  Superintend- 
ent Shuitt  thinks  the  horse  can  beat  2:30  handily. 


Stockholders  of  the  Napa  Agricultural  Society  Saturday 
re-elected  the  old  Board  of  Directors.  L.  L.  James  was 
chosen  president;  F.  W.  Loeber,  vice-president;  and  John 
Even,  treasurer.    Theodore  Bell  was  elected  secretary. 

M'inkoe  Salisbury  and  H.  Latham  visited  Palo  Alto 
Stock  Farm  last  week  and  became  very  much  interested  in 
the  colts  and  fillies  thev  saw.  It  would  no*,  be  surprising  if 
Mr.  Salisbury  negotiated  for  a  few  to  take  East  this  year. 

Theke  is  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Whips,  2:27o,  out  of 
Barnes  (dam  of  Gov.  Stanford,  2:21),  by  Hamblelonian  725, 
that  U  a  perfect  likeness  in  form  of  the  great  Sunol,  and  has 
the  same  way  of  trotting.     Great  things  are  expected  of  her. 

For  a  couple  of  years  the  percentage  of  mares  sent  to  good 
harness  horse  sires  has  been  comparatively  small.  A  short- 
age of  good  youngsters  is  already  felt.  It  is  for  this  reason 
that  there  will  be  more  mares  bred  than  most  people  are  cal- 
culating.   

The  pasture  on  J.  H.  White's  Mock  farm, Lake ville,Sonoma 
county,  is  butter  this  year  than  it  has  been  for  years,  and  the 
stock  is  "  rolling  fat."  No  healthier  place  for  horses  is  to 
be  found  in  California,  and  the  best  of  care  is  taken  of  all 
stock  sent  there.  

There  is  talk  of  building  a  mile  track  at  Los  Gatos  ;  the 
soil  and  climate  of  this  place  cannot  be  surpassed.  The  little 
track  that  is  there  at  present  has  been  fit  for  racing  during 
the  entire  winter;  the  soil  is  sandy,  and  rains  do  not  make 
it  heavy  or  sticky. 

of  the  most  promising  two-year-old  fillies  at  the  Moor- 
land Stock  Farm  is  by  Silver  Bow  11,708,  out  of  Viva,  by 
Anlevolo,  2:19  dam    Lftdy    Wilson,  by    Nutwood; 

third  dam  Rebel  Daughter  (grandam  of  Lida  \V\,  2:18}),  by 
Williamson's  Belmont  She  is  a  perfect  picture  and  can  trot 
remarkably  fast  for  the  little  work  she  has  had. 

N>.w  ENQL4WD  will  have  several  fast  pacers  out  this  year. 

Oill  *'nrry,  2:1 21,  one  of  the  greatest  winners  of   last  year,  is 

in  fine  shape  this  spring,  and  J.  J.  Bowen  will  have  a  great 

.    tir  in  his  receo    |  a,  Blanche  Louise,  by  Bed   Wilkes, 

:10,  and  Mountain,  -:'~'ll,  by  Ellerslie  Wilkes.     Other  New 

igland  pacers  that  will  be  seen  on  the  big  tracks  are  B.  B., 

lis,  Chesterfield,  Bunco  Jr..  Guinette  and  Fred  K. 


There  is  a  filly  by  Richards'  Elector,  out  of  the  dam  of 
Free  Coinage  (p),  2:1 1 4,  in  Kansas,  that  is  showing  the  train- 
ers there  what  a  perfect  trotting  gait  is,  and  as  she  will  be  in 
the  races  this  fall  she  is  making  many  friends  who  will  bet  all 
their  money  on  her. 

"Jimmy"  Carpenter,  located  at  Narragansett  Park, 
Providence,  will  campaign  Steve  Whipple,  2:12,  in  the  free- 
for-alls  this  fall.  Harry  C,  which  was  such  a  good  horse  in 
"  Jimmy's  "  hands  this  season,  is  eligible  to  the  2:15  class  and 
is  expected  to  go  in  2:10. 

From  all  parts  of  the  Pacific  Coast  are  letters  of  inquiry 
received  at  this  office  regarding  the  Occidental  Trotting  and 
Pacing  Association.  Its  success  as  in  organization  is  assured. 
The  committee  on  Constitution  and  By-Laws  will  have  its 
work  completed  in  a  short  time. 

A  NUMBER  of  well-known  trainers  of  trotting  horses,  who 
have  been  identified  with  the  thoroughbreds  at  the  Bay  Dis- 
trict Track,  are  anxious  to  go  back  to  the  sulky  and  declare 
that  if  the  Lord  forgives  them  this  time  for  handling  bang- 
tails, they  will  never  be  caught  at  it  again. 

Direct  is  the  name  of  a  neat  little  turf  and  sporting  journal 
published  at  Pleasanton.  It  is  chock  full  of  notes  about  the 
horses  and  horsemen  in  and  around  the  classic  town  of 
Pleasanton,  where  more  record-breakers  are  made  every 
year  than  in  any  place  of  its  size  in  .America. 


At  the  Oakland  Trott'ng  Track,  the  first  foal  of  the  season 
to  make  his  appearance  among  the  band  of  broodmares,  is  a 
bay  in  color  and  sired  by  Direct,  2:051,  out  of  a  mare  by  Sid- 
ney, 2:19:};  second  dam  Maud  R.,  by  Whipple's  Hamble- 
tonian.  His  owner  is  very  proud  of  him.  Why  shouldn't 
he  be? 

Luke  Crow,  a  horseman  who  has  been  handling  some 
horses  at  the  Oakland  track  for  some  time,  started  East  last 
Saturday  with  the  carload  of  horses  from  the  San  Mateo 
Stock  Farm  ;  he  brought  the  game  trotting  stallion  Jim  C, 
by  Tommy  T.  with  him.  Mr.  Crow  intends  to  take  the  horse 
to  Connecticut. 

Dr.  C.  Edgar.  Smith,  of  Los  Angeles,  has  started  a  place 
near  Los  Angeles  and  calls  it  the  Sunny  Side  Stock  Farm. 
His  three  premier  stallions  are  General  Beverly  18734  by 
Benefit,  out  of  Alice  by  A'.mont ;  Sultandin  2:29$, by  Sultan, 
out  of  Blonde  by  Tecumseh.  and  Richmoor,  by  Sultandin,  out 
of  Chona  by  A.  W.  Richmond. 


Morrill  850,  sire  of  Oregon  Pathfinder  10,891,  was  one  of 
the  grandest  horses  in  the  United  States.  He  s;ood  nearly 
sixteen  hands  high ;  weighed  1,200  pounds.  He  was  reck- 
oned the  stoutest  horse  ever  seen  in  his  day.  He  founded  a 
family,  made  his  owner  rich,  and  yet  diad  in  1S63,  at  the  age 
of  20  years,  from  the  effects  of  a  beating  by  a  fool. 

After  all  the  talk,  W.  H.  McCarty  will  not  drive  for  H. 
S.  Henry  this  year,  although  he  engaged  to  at  a  salary  of 
$5,000,  Mr.  Henry's  offer.  Knapsack  was  to  have  taken 
charge  of  the  trotters  of  the  Penn  Valley  Stud  on  March  1st, 
but  when  it  came  down  to  signing  contracts  there  was  a  dis- 
agreement in  the  terms  and  there  was  an  agreement  to  dis- 
agree. 

Director's  Flower,  2:20,  now  the  property  of  R.  L.  Rose 
of  Providence,  is  looking  much  better  than  she  did  when  pur- 
chased last  fall  after  the  close  of  her  hard  campaign,  still  I 
learn  that  many  horsemen  regard  it  doubtful  if  she  will  be 
much  account  this  year.  At  any  rate  she  was  a  much  jaded 
filly  last  fall,  and  if  she  is  good  this  year  it  will  be  somewhat 
remarkable. 

John  D.  Creighton,  of  Lexington,  Kentucky,  has  sold 
to  L.  V.  Harkness,  the  New  York  millionaire  trotting  horse 
breeder,  the  two-year-old  brown  filly  Belle  Meta,  by  Alfonso 
(son  of  Baron  Wilkes  and  Alma  Mater),  dam  Berkshire  Belle, 
by  Alcyone,  second  dam  Belle  Brasfield  (2:20).  The  price 
was  $6,000.  Tbis  youngster  has  shown  a  2:20  gait  and  is  en- 
gaged in  some  large  stakes. 

Mr.  P.  J.  Mann  bought  from  J.  W.  Tilden  a  black  colt, 
three-years-old,  by  Hambletonian  Mambrino,  dam  Deta,  by 
Altamonl;  second  dam  Tecora,  by  C.  M.  Clay  Jr.  Deta  is  a 
full  sister  to  Del  Norte  (p),  2:18};  'Chehalis  (p),  2:241,  and  as 
the  new  addition  to  Mr.  Mann's  stable  is  a  sidewheeler,  we 
expect  to  see  Mr.  Mann  riding  in  front  in  the  three-year-old 
class. — North  Pacific  Rural. 

The  following  horses  are  in  Budd  Doble's  stable  at  Terre 
Haute:  Stamboul,  2:07£,  by  Sultan;  Pixlev,  2:0S.V,  by  Jay 
Gould;  Major,  2:14A,  by  Don  McGregor;  Ellard,  2:13£,  by

Harry  Agnew  sold  a  two-year-old  filly  to  a  gentleman 
from  Honolulu  last  week.  This  filly  is  a  dark  chestnut  in 
color,  with  mane  and  tail  |of  a  lighter  shade,  she  is  sired  by 
Dawa  2:18^  out  of  the  Donahue  mare  by  Frank  Malone  son 
of  Vick's  Ethan  Allen  Jr.  She  is  not  only  handsome  but  Lou 
Simmons  the  trainer  at  the  Agnew  Stock  Farm  says  she  is 
the  fastest  one  he  ever  pulled  a  line  over.  The  terms  of  sale 
are  private. 

Fkank  WlCKERSHAM,  of  Fresno  has  three  very  handsome 
as  well  as  choicely-bred  stallions  at  his  place,  viz:  Junio  2:22 
(sire  of  Bruno  2:19  one  of  the  gamest  horses  seeu  on  the  cir- 
cuit in  1893,  and  two  other  good  ones)  by  Electioneer.  Clovis 
by  Sultan,  and  Bolinas  by  Junio.  These  horses  are  worthy  of 
the  attention  of  all  horsemen,  for  they  are  of  splendid  size, 
color  and  conformation, and  in  these  times  where  there  is  such 
a  growing  demand  for  heavier  types  of  fast  trotting  stock  we 
know  of  no  trio  in  any  one  city  to  excel  this  for  the  purpose 
of  siring  this  class  of  trotters. 

Of  much  practical  importance  is  M.  Pellerin's  description 
of  how  the  seat  of  lameness  in  the  horse  can  be  diagnosed  by 
the  stride  the  animal  takes  with  the  affected  limb.  He  states 
that  the  stride  of  the  lame  leg,  as  compared  with  the  opposite 
sound  one,  is  short  or  long  in  proportion  as  the  seat  of  lame- 
ness is  high  or  low — in  the  shoulder  or  in  the  foot.  In  cases 
where  the  seat  of  lameness  exists  in  the  knee  or  hock,  or 
thence  upward,  the  stride  of  the  lame  leg  is  shorter  than  that 
of  the  sound  one,  while  in  lameness  of  the  fetlock,  pastern  or 
foot,  the  lame  leg  takes  a  longer  stride  than  the  sound  limb. 
In  what  he  calls  "medium"  lameness — which  includes 
splints,  speedy-cutting,  etc. — the  stride  will  be  about  equal  in 
the  sound  and  unsound  legs. 


Rio  Alto's  story  about  the  turfites  who  frequented  the 
Cliff  House  road  in  the  days  gone  by,  which  appeared  in 
last  week's  issue,  was  highly  appreciated  by  those  of  the  old 
brigade  who  remember  those  flush  times.  This  talented 
writer  has  promised  us  some  reminiscences  of  the  old  Bay 
View  track  which  was  built  by  Hank  Sessions  about  the  time 
J.  H.  White  was  surveying  the  half-mile  track  on  the  Cliff 
House  road. 


Speed  and  liberal  stake  engagements,  good  looks  and  good 
manuers  are  now  and  will  continue  to  be  from  this  time  for- 
ward the  demands  of  the  market  for  trotters.  Values  will  in- 
crease in  proportion  to  the  quantity  and  quality  of  producing 
and  performing  blood  and  the  successful  union  of  kindred 
strains.  Line  breeding  to  the  great  mares  through  stallions 
of  vigorous  constitution  and  developed  speed  promises  to  pro- 
duce the  two-minute  trotter. 


When  the  glands  are  observed  to  swell  in  distempered 
horses  commence  applying  warm  poultices.  Tnis  line  of 
treatment  is  preferable  to  fomentations,  as  the  latter  are  not 
infrequently  followed  by  a  chill,  retarding  necessarily  the 
suppurative  process.  A  little  mustard  or  cantharid^s  oint- 
ment may  be  rubbed  over  the  surface  before  applying  the 
poultice.  The  latter  may  be  kept  warm  by  either  encompass- 
ing it  with  hot  cotton  batting  or  keeping  it  saturated  with 
water  as  hot  as  can  be  safely  applied. 

L.  H.  McIntosh,  of  Chico,  has  a  two-year-old  brother  to 
Wayland  W.,  2:1SLV  and  Welcome,  2:27*  that  bids  fair  to  be  a 
faster  horse  than  his  two  brothers.  He  is  being  handled  a 
little  and  Mr.  Simpson,  the  trainer,  declares  he  never  saw 
such  a  promising  youngster.  Mr.  Mdnto=his  having  a  num- 
ber of  colts  and  fillies  by  his  stallion  Arthur  Wilkes,  2:2SL, 
trained,  and  the  way  they  are  moving  is  attracting  the  atten- 
tion of  all  the  horsemen  around  Chico.  The  Guy  Wilkes  stock 
is  booming  there  at  present. 

Last  winter  many  of  the  turf  papers  made  the  statement 
that  Directum  would  be  out  as  a  pacer  in  1894.  It  was  shown 
that  his  natural  inclination  to  pace  was  overcome  by  heavy 
shoeing,  and  the  weight  of  his  front  shoes  was  variously  stated 
at  from  fourteen  to  eighteen  ounces.  In  a  recent  letter  John 
Kelly  says  that  Directum's  front  shoes  weigh  ten  ounces  and 
his  hind  ones  three  and  a  half  ouDces  ;  so,  it  will  be  seen  that 
the  champion  does  not  carry  so  much  weight  on  his  feet  as 
some  people  have  tried  to  make  out. 

E.  M.  Baker,  of  Vancouver,  Washington,  called  on  us 
Wednesday.  Mr.  Baker  has  been  making  a  tour  of  our 
leading  stock  farms,  he  visited  Rancho  del  Paso,  Palo  Alto 
and  the  Macdonough  Farm.  At  the  latter  place  he  saw  the 
great  Ormonde  and  the  band  of  royally-bred  broodmares.  He 
also  visited  Agricultural  Park,  San  Jose,  and  inspected  the 
thoroughbreds  St.  Saviour,  Greenback  and  Loyalist.  Mr. 
Baker  is  a  good  judge,  and  it  would  not  surprise  us  if  he  had 
selected  a  few  good  ones  to  stock  a  farm  in  his  State. 

Peter  J.  Shields  paid  a  hasty  visit  to  Pleasanton  on  re- 
ceipt of  a  dispatch  from  Wm  Murry,  owuer  of  Diablo,  2:09}, 
that  the  mare  Grace  (dam  of  Creole,  2:15),  which  he  leased 
to  breed  to  Sidney,  2:19J,  "  dropped  a  beautiful  bay  filly,  the 
picture  of  her  sire."  Mr.  Shields  was  delighted  when  he 
saw  the  thrivingyoungster.  This  mare,  Grace,  was  very  fast, 
but  never  was  given  a  chance  to  race.  She  is  by  Bucca- 
neer, out  of  Mary.  2:42  (dam  of  Apex,  2:29,  Sterling,  etc.).  by 
Flaxtail,  second  dam  by  Bright  Eyes,  son  of  Boanerges,  a 
thoroughbred.    Grace  will  be  bred  to  Diablo,  2:09}. 

One  of  the  finest  looking,  as  well  as  one  of  the  most  level- 
headed, sons  of  Stamboul  seen  in  California,  is  the  colt  Nas- 
sar  16,028,  at  James  G.  Fair's  Sonoma  Stock  Farm.  Nassar 
is  out  of  Oakland  Maid,  2:22  (dam  of  Princess,  2:19),  by  Specu- 
lation ;  second  dam  Lady  Vernon,  2:29}.  The  track  on  this 
farm  is  in  perfect  order  and  is  pronounced  by  competent 
horsemen  to  be  one  of  the  best  winter  tracks  in  California. 
R.  D.  Crawforth  is  busy  on  it  preparing  a  few  colts,  be- 
sides Nassar  and  the  well  bred  stallion  Vasto,  for  the  races 
this  year.  By  the  way,  Vasco's  sister  Valleria  is  said  by  the 
Eastern  turfites  to  be  as  fast,  if  not  faster,  than  Valissa,  2:19, 
her  sister.  AVith  Vasto,  Valissa,  2:19  and  Valeria,  all  hav- 
ing fast  records,  Chess  will  enter  the  great  broodmare  table  in 
1S94  with  flying  colors. 

At  the  Lakeville  Stock  Farm,  Lakeville,  the  game  trotting 
mare  Kitty  Almont,  2:2Gf,  by  Tilton  Almont,  has  a  black 
yearling  colt  by  Contention  (he  by  Director,  2:17,  out  of 
Helen  Benton,  by  General  Benton),  that  is  even  a  more 
promising  trotter  than  his  half-brother  (owned  by  George  H. 
Fox,  of  Angels  Camp),  was  at  his  age.  Superintendent  Thos. 
Roach  has  just  got  the  little  fellow  straightened  out  to  trot 
and  every  time  the  youngster  is  given  his  head  he  almost 
flies.  From  such  breeding  this  colt  ought  to  be  not  only  fast 
but  game.  Kitty  Almont  was,  according  to  Orrin  Hickok, 
one  of  the  gamest  aud  purest-gaited  trotters  he  ever  drove, 
and  the  mere  mention  of  her  name  arouses  his  enthusiasm 
for  her  gameness.  When  badly  criopled  she  won  one  of  the 
best  races  ever  trotted  on  this  Coast,  Kitty  was  bred  to 
Direct  last  year  but  missed. 

The  day  of  the  cross-roads  stallion  will  soon  have  departed 
if  the  breeders  of  the  light  harness  horse  do  their  whole  duty. 
Three  years  ago,  when  service  fees  were  at  the  high  water 
mark,  I  went  on  record  with  the  proposition  that  the  average 
fee  for  the  average  stallion  in  the  average  community  should 
not  be  over  $50.  My  opinion  was  that  fees  averaging  more 
than  that  sum  would  drive  many  men  to  patronize  the  no  ac- 
count cross-roads  stallion.  I  have  every  reason  to  believe 
that  my  opinion  was  absolutely  correct,  and  I  know  that  in 
1S91-2  the  scrub  stallion  who  would  prance  around  a  circle  at 
the  end  of  a  long  strap  and  look  like  a  horse  of  breeding  did 
a  lot  of  business,  where,  in  justice  to  the  owners  of  the  mares 
and  the  community,  he  should  have  put  in  the  season  draw- 
ing a  dray  and  never  have  seen,  much  less  served,  a  mare. 
The  drop  in  service  fees  have  put  an  end,  let  us  hope,  to  the 
cross-road  stallion.  There  is  not  the  slightest  excuse  now  for 
his  existence.  With  excellent  stallions  advertised  at  $15  to 
$50  for  the  season,  the  owner  of  a  mare  worth  breeding  has 
no  ground  for  failing  to  patronize  the  horse  of  known  lineage. 
With  service  fees  at  the  lowest  notch,  on  the  average,  ever 
known,  there  ought  to  be  a  rapid  and  pronounced  improve- 
ment in  the  American  horse,  and  1  believe  there  will  be.  I 
hope  that  we  may  all  survive  to  see  the  day  when  the  scrub 
will  be  banished  even  from  the  huckster  wagon.  The  best  is 
none  too  good,  and  as  the  matter  now  stands  the  best  can  be 
secured  at  what  the  better  grade  cost  three  years  3go. — West-

Johnny  asd  Charley  Weber  have  signed  with  the 
Master  of  Hawthorne,  Ed  Corrigao,  for  the  racing  season  of 
1S94.  Mr.  Corrigan  has  secured  in  tbe  Weber  boys  two  of 
the  best  riders  in  this  country,  and  the  breath  of  dishonor 
has  never  sullied  their  names. 


President  Thomas  H.  Williams  said  Tuesday  that  in 
all  likelihood  the  race  meetiDg  would  be  continued  until

The  management  of  the  Butte  (Mont.)  West  Side  Racing 
Association,  of  which  Marcus  Dalv  is  president,  claims  to 
ell  more  mutuels  than  any  other  race  track  in  the  United 
States,  

It  is  said  that  Col.  W.  P.  Thompson,  who  owns  the  Brook- 
lale  Stud,  offered  Lord  Rosebery  the  sum  of  §50,000  for 
jidas,  the  favorite  of  the  English  Derby,  but  the  offer  was 
leclined.  

Yangedese  is  not  one  of  the  horses  brought  over  by  Mr. 
!iOpez,  as  staled  by  the  Examiner  Wednesday.  She  was 
>red  in  Sonoma  county  by  Mrs,  A.  C.  Archer.  Mr.  Corrigan

irood  mares,  among  them  Repose,  Annie  Race,  Glitter,  Cattle 
£ateand  imp.  Elmina,  were  shipped  to  his  new  ranch,  near 
'Japa,  Cal.,  Tuesday,  Cy  Mulkey  taking  them  up. 

George  Hankins  has  made  a  bet  of  §20,000  to  §500  with 
)'Neit  and  Eckert  about  Denton  in  the  American  Derby. 
?his  is  the  Linden-Agnes  colt,  and  if  he  is  nearly  as  good  as 
lis  stable  thinks  him  Mr.  HankiDS  has  a  good  wager. 

There  is  little  prospect  of  Guttenberg  opening  in  the  near 
nture.  G.  Walbaum,  president  of  the  track,  refuses  to  sav 
fhelherthe  track  will  resume  operations  or  not,  but  the  re- 
torts that  the  track  will  reopen  soon  are  not  authentic. 

Mr.  Ed  Corrigan's  brother  Thomas,  who  died  recently 
t  Kansas  City,  Mo.,  of  fatty  degeneration  of  the  heart,  was

sen  identified  with  several  big  Kansas  City  enterprises. 

Riley  Gkannan's  shingle  was  up  Tuesday  at  the  local

ul  plunger  is  expected  here  from  Xew  Orleans  to-day  to 
aabe  life  a  burden  for  some  of  the  pencilers  at  the  course. 

The  reports  to  the  effect  that  Major  Domo  will  be  retired 
o  the  stnd  seem  unfounded,  inasmuch  as  the  son  of  Tom 
)chiltree  is  being  given  regular  work  at  Morris  Park  by  his 
wner,  W.  J.  Spiers,  preparatory  to  the  season's  campaign. 

In  sixty-four  days  "Jack"  gave  119  winners,  143  horses

ays  our  tipsters,  "Jack"  and  "  Don  Fulano,',  gave  192  win- 
ers,  24S  seconds  and  25S  thirds — a  most  excellent  showing,

A  good-sized  offer  has  just  been  made  to  the  managers  of 
ae  Stanford  estate  this  week  for  the  famous  race  horse,  Racine, 
'ho  is  supposed  to  be  broken  down.  A  gentleman  from  the 
tate  of  Washington  made  the  offer,  and  it  is  likely  to  be 
ccepted.  

The  $7,600  colt  by  Salvator,  out  of  Lou  Lanier,  purchased 
t  the  Haggin  sale  last  summer,  by  Charles  Fleischmann  &

Capt.  J  W.  Starling,  who  has  been  training  the  horses 
of  Walter  &  Dargen  here,  is  C.  C.  McCafferty's  father-in-law. 
A  few  years  ago  he  was  in  partnership  with  Charley  Mc- 
Cafferty,  who  is  a  brother  to  the  most  successful  jockey- 
trainer-owner,  John  J.  McCaflerty. 

!  J.  G.  Follansbse  will  have  a  number  of  thoroughbreds 
quartered  on  the  Hearst  place,  near  Pleasantoo,  Cal., 
shortly.  He  owns  Glen  Echo  and  a  fioe  lot  of  voung 
brood  mares.  Several  horses  are  expected  up  from  Mr. 
Follansbee's  great  Mexican  rancho  soon. 


Harry  Stover,  well-known  in  turf  circles  here  and  else- 
where, sent  the  following  string  to  Chicago  last  Saturday 
from  Oakland  track  :  Nell  Flaherty,  Snooks,  Great  Western, 
Border,  Long  Tim  and  Arkansas  Traveler.  The  jockeys, 
Will  McKinney  and  Nickerson,  went  along  also. 

Dick   Carroll,  more  familiarly  known   as   "  Dick  Mc-  \ 
Cann,"  who  has  been  assistant  starter  at  Gloucester  since  its  j 
opening,  and  who  acted  cs  starter  at  Washington  last  winter, 
died  March  7th  at  the  Howard  Hospital,  Philadelphia,  from  : 
consumption.     Carroll  had  been  ill  but  a  few  weeks. 

The  imported  thoroughbred  stallion,  Woodlands,  the  i 
property  of  Milton  Young,  of  McGrathiana  Farm,  died  on  \ 
March  3d  from  breaking  a  bloodvessel.  He  sired  Elizabeth,  ', 
Lignite,  Walnut  and  Cracksman,  and  was  valued  at  §6,000.  , 
He  was  sired  by  Nutbourne,  dam  Whitelace,  by  Tunic. 

Hardy  Campbell,  who  is  training  twenty-seven  animals 
owned  by  M.  F.  Dwyer  and  Richard  Croker,  entered  the  em- 
ploy of  Mr.  Dwyer  fourteen  years  ago   when  a  little  eighty-  | 
pound  lad.     Every  horse  now  in  his  charge  is  in  first-class 
form,  and  his  friends  Dredict  a  fortunate  season  for  him. 


Green  Morris  has  added  his  stable  to  the  thoroughbreds 
quartered  at  Memphis.  The  Derby  winner,  Strathmeath, 
and  the  Derby  candidate,  St.  Pat,  are  both  getting  along 
nicely.  The  filly  by  Salvator — Miss  Woodford  is  said  to  be 
doing  all  that  could  be  expected  of  a  miss  of  her  tender 
years. 

Dr.  W.  Grahame  Ross,  the  American  manager  of  the 
Tattersalls  Co.,  has  engaged  Capt.  P.  C.  Kidd,  of  this  city,  as 
auctioneer.  Capt.  Kidd  has  had  long  experience  at  that  busi- 
ness and  should  be  able  to  give  entire  satisfaction.  He  will 
probably  take  up  his  residence  in  New  York. — Live  Stock

The  Brooklyn  Jockey  Club's  course  at  Gravesend  is  the 
busiest  race  track  in  the  East  these  days.  Besides  the  un- 
usually large  number  of  stables  that  wintered  there  more  ' 
have  arrived  lately,  and  since  the  track  has  been  put  in  thor- 
ough shape  the  thoroughbreds  are  out  in  force  taking  their 
preliminary  work  for  the  approaching  season. 

A  telegram  from  St.  Louis,  Mo.,  states  that  Cole  Olman 
has  secured  an  option  on  three  tracts  of  grounds  within  the 
city  limits  and  will  build  a  six  furlong  course  for  night  rac- 
ing. There  is  so  much  doubt  about  the  future  of  the  Fair 
Grounds  Association  that  it  is  quite  possible  this  new  course, 
if  constructed,  may  be  used  for  a  regular  meeting. 

A  prominent  Board  of  Trade  sportsman  of  Chicago,  last 
week  wagered  §50  against  $15,000  against  Pearl  Song,  to  win 
the  American  Derby.  Some  other  bets  recorded  aie  :  §15,000 
to  $50,  Tom  Elmore ;  §12,500  to  $50,  Despot ;  §7,500  t©  §75, 
St.  Pft;  §5,000  to  §50  each  against  Brodhead  and  El  Tele- 
grafo  ;  §5,000  to  §25  each  against  Clara  Bauer  and  Flirtation; 
§3,000  to  §30,  Visitor  ;  §2,000  to  §20,  Rhett  Gocde. 

A  conference  was  held  Tuesday  in  New  York  between 
committees  of  the  new  Jockey  Club  and  the  Coney  Island 
Jockey  Club.  The  meeting  was  secret.  It  is  rumored  that 
the  Cooey  Island  Jockey  Club  still  holds  out  against  a  sur- 
render absolutely  to  the  new  system.  The  Coney  Island  Club 
wants  to  retain  control  of  the  dates  for  racing  already  fixed. 
Another  meeting  will  be  held  to-day. 


The  steeplechase  course  at  Sheepshead  Bay  will,  if  Frank 
Clarke,  the  able  superintendent,  can  manage  it,  be  none  of 
the  trappv,  makeshift  affairs  we  have  seen  of  late  rears.  The 
jumps  will  take  some  jumping,  and  not  be  mere  little  make- 
shifts that  e  well-schooled  horse  can  take  in  his  stride.  There 
is,  in  particular,  to  be  a  big  water  jump  which,  it  is  needless 
to  say,  will  be  the  centre  of  attraction  on  the  days  that  cross- 
country events  are  run. 

At  the  time  Ormonde  was  winoing  one  of  the  great  classic 
races,  solemn  service  was  progressing  at  Winchester  Cathe- 
dral, and  the  Dean  sat  enthroned,  when  a  telegram  was 
handed  to  him.  He  opened  it  and  cast  his  eyes  up  to  heaven 
in  dire  perplexity.  It  ran  thus  :  "  Ormonde  has  won."  Who 
was  Ormonde  and  what  has  he  won  ?  Vainly  canons  and 
such  like  minor  lights  were  consulted.  It  was  discovered  that 
the  telegram  was  sent  to  Mr.  Dean,  a  trainer  at  Winchester, 
bat  as  it  was  addressed,  "  Dean,  Winchester,"  it  was  banded  to 
the  Dean. 

They  don't  spare  their  horses  in  tLe  Antipodes.  At  a 
meeting  recently  held  in  New  Zealand,  a  four-year-old  colt, 
Vogengang,  by  Burlington — Psyche,  after  winning  the 
Wellington  Cup  at  one  and  a  half  miles  with  10S  pounds  up, 
was  pulled  out  the  same  afternoon  and  won  a  six-furlong 
handicap  with  101  pounds  up.  The  first  race  was  run  in 
2:41  and  the  second  in  1:16 J.  The  colt  had  quite  a  hard 
race  ir  the  loos-distance  race.  Sir  Mod  red  performed  a 
similar  feat  when  he  was  racing.  Mortemer  did  it  in  Eng- 
land when  he  had  been  shipped  thither  for  safety  during  the 
Franco-Prussian  war. 

Secretary  Vosbcrgh  of  the  new  jockey  club  said  to  an 
Associated  Press  representative  at  New  York  Thursday  after- 
noon that  all  matters  have  been  practically  agreed  upon  be- 
tween the  Westerners  and  the  Eastern  people  and  that  an 
agreement  of  reciprocity  would  Designed  as  soon  as  certain 
changes  in  phraseology  were  made.  The  Western  men  say 
they  cannot  accept  the  Eastern  rules,  as  local  conditions  pre- 
vent the  acceptance  of  track  forms,  but  in  all  matters  of  for- 
feits and  ruling  off  by  the  other  association  of  objectionable 
characters  each  side  will  be  firmly  bound. 


A  well-known  bookmaker  named  Bob  Turner,  whose 
ome  was  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  died  at  Los  Angeles  recently  of 
Jnsumption.  He  had  come  to  the  land  of  sunshine  and 
•opical  fruit  in  the  hope  of  recovering  his  health.  The  body 
as  shipped  to  his  old  home. 

XofHAWE,  2:20i,  is  in  Golden's  stable  this  year.  Palo 
Ito  people  say  that  she  was  one  of  the  best  three-year-olds 
?er  raised  on  the  farm.  As  she  has  been  off  the  turf  for  a 
Japle  of  years  and  reported  in  good  shape,  Golden  should 
ave  a  money  winner  in  her. 


A  telegram  from  East  St  Louis  says:  Five  petitions  have 
been  filed  with  the  City  Clerk  for  presentation  to  the  Council 
asking  for  the  abolition  of  tlie  winter  race  track.  The  peti- 
tions are  signed  by  many  leading  citizens  and  cite  a  decision 
of  the  Supreme  Court,  which  holds  that  persons  owning  or 
operating  race  tracks  shall  be  fined  not  more  than  $200.  War 
on  the  track  will  be  a  factor  in  the  April  election. 

A.  Ottixger  has  decided  to  retire  from  the  turf,  there 
being  too  much  uncertainty  about  the  business  to  suit  the 
genial  scalper  of  passenger  rates.  The  lease  of  Ottinger  or 
Phillips  on  Wild  wood  expires  to-day,  and  the  crack  will  be 
returned  to  his  owner,  C.  A.  Brown,  tha  emioent  bookmaker 
and  student  of  thoroughbred  pedigrees.  Whether  Wildwood 
will  be  secured  by  other  parties  and  raced  at  the  East  this 
season  is  not  known  at  present. 

Bernard  Doswell,  the  breeder  of  Morello,  will  have  the 
following  horses  in  training  next  season  :  Chestnut  colt  (3)  by 
Wilfred  out  of  White  Squall ;  bay  colt  (2),  by  imp.  Darebin, 
out  of  Trade  Dollar;  black  colt  (2),  by  Hidalgo,  out  of  Ca- 
chuca ;  chestnut  colt  (2),  bv  Bonnie  Ban,  out  of  Hegiaz;  bay 
colt  (2),  by  Falsetto,  out  of  Macola ;  brown  Ally  (2),  by  Fres- 
no, out  of  Aloa ;  chestnut  fillv  (2),  by  Sir  Mod  red,  out  of 
Glendora,  and  a  chestnut  filly  (2),  by  Heimdal,  out  of  War 
Lass.  

It  is  whispered  that  the  imported  English  colt  Meddler 
will  be  trained  this  year  after  be  finishes  bis  season  in  the 
stud.  The  colt  was  undoubtedly  right  up  in  the  first  class  in 
Englano,  and  if  his  acclimation  has  left  no  bad  effects  be 
should  be  a  winner  here.  His  owner,  it  is  said,  is  undecided 
whether  to  place  his  §75,000  purchase  in  the  stud  for  good, 
or  give  him  a  year's  racing,  with  the  chances  in  favor  of  the 
latter.  

As  there  is  likely  to  be  racing  in  the  principal  cities  of 
California  the  year  round,  several  stables  that  intended 
going  East  will  probably  remain  here.  Those  likely  to  go  to 
Chicago  or  the  far  East,  however,  are:  Matt  Storn,  Charley 
Boots,  Simeon  G.  Reed,  E.  J.  Baldwin  and  Naglee  Burk. 
Whether  Dan  Miller,  A.  B.  Spreckels  or  L.  J.  Rose  will  send 
horses  across  the  continent  to  race  has  not  as  yet  been  de- 
[  cided  upon. 


Sentiment  in  racing  seems  as  deep  in  the  Duke  of  Westmin- 
ster as  it  was  in  his  ancestors  in  the  days  of  Touchstone  and 
Pantaloon.  A  recent  visitor  at  Eaton  Hall  describes  the  hoase 
of  Chapman,  the  stud  groom,  where  the  plates  won  by  all  the 
Duke's  winners  adorn  the  walls,  Doncasters,  Bend  Ors,  Shot- 
overs,  Ormondes,  Ormes,  etc.  Among  them  is  one  of  the  four 
plates  on  which  Ormonde  won  the  Two  Thousand,  Derby  and 
St.  Leger  of  1886.  Of  that  set  the  Princess  of  Wales  has 
one,  and  John  Porter,  his  trainer,  the  other.  Orme's  four- 
teen plates  are  nailed  to  the  wall,  one  for  each  of  his  victo- 
ries, which  netted  the  snug  sum  of  £32,939. 

"  I  believe  the  time  will  come  when  the  trotting  instiDct 
will  be  so  intensified  in  colts  by  continually  breeding  upward 
that  two-year-olds  speeding  quarters  in  31  to  32  seconds  will 
not  be  regarded  as  phenomenal,,  but  the  feats  anticipated  in 
advance,"  spoke  up  E.  F.  Geers  one  day  last  week.  "The 
difficulty,  however,  will  be  in  conditioning  the  youngster  to 
carry  the  clip  a  mile.  To  accomplish  the  feat  I  believe  you 
must  have  a  good  sprinkling  of  thoroughbred  blood  in  the 
pedigree  to  go  the  route  without  {  quitting.'  Give  me  a  filly 
by  Brown  Hal,  2:12s,  pacing,  out  of  the  right  kind  of  a 
thoroughbred  dam  and  I  would  breed  her  to  Chimes,  except- 
ing something  that  would  fill  the  bill." 

Messrs.  Reed  and  Mackey  are  patronizing  imp.  Clieve- 
den,  brother  to  the  great  Chester,  quite  extensively.  Among 
the  Reed  mares  that  have  gone  to  this  grand  horse  is  an 
English  mare  by  Gatopin.  There  are  very  few  by  this  re- 
nowned sire  in  America,  as  they  are  too  highly  prized  by  the 
breeders  of  England  to  let  many  of  them  go.  Clieveden  is 
standing  this  season  at  the  Santa  Anita  ranch  of  E.  J.  Bald- 
win, and  that  gentleman  should  accouut  himself  extremely 
lncky  in  getting  a  horse  with  so  much  of  the  stout  blood  of 
Whalebone  and  Eclipse  to  mate  with  his  mares  that  are  so 
chock-a-block  with  Glencoe  and  Lexington  blood.  The  nick 
should  be  a  most  happy  one. 

The  year  1893  was  the  most  successful  in  the  history  of 
fbur-year-olds,  winning  as  they  did  a  greater  amount  of 
money  than  was  ever  placed  to  their  credit  before  in  a  single 
season,  and  such  also  was  the  case  with  the  two  and  three- 
year-olds  out.  Among  four-year-olds  Lamplighter,  by  Spend- 
thrift, heads  the  list  for  1893,  with  $25,550  to  his  credit,  and 
Charade,  by  Cbaraxus,  out  of  Ada  Belle,  by  Eolus,  is  a  close 
second,  with  $21,980,  while  Robert  Bradley's  brown  colt, 
Blitztn,  made  a  good  showing  by  winning  $10,503.  In  1887 
the  largest  winning  four-year-old  was  Eurus,  that  won  the 
snug  sum  of  $19,993.  While  but  a  small  number  of  race 
horses  are  bred  and  owned  in  Virginia  compared  with  some 
other  States,  still  the  Old  Dominion  holds  her  own  well. 
Charade  was  bred  at  Ellerslie,  where  his  sire  and  dam  are 
owned,  while  Eurus  was  reared  at  Bollfield,  and  sired  by 
Eolus.  

Matt  Allen  was  at  the  Hoffman  House  yesterday.  He 
says  that  his  string  at  Morris  Park  shows  a  clean  bill  of 
health,  and  that  Key  del  Rey  weighs  fully  1,200  pounds. 
The  horse  has  been  running  out  all  Winter  in  a  paddock 
aud  is  a  grand  looker.  He  is  over  16  hands  high,  but  so 
well  made  and  put  together  that  few  would  guess  either  his 
size  or  weight.  Rey  del  Rey  did  not  ran  last  year,  but  if  be 
comes  to  the  post  this  season  he  will  be  worth  watching.  I 
met  Porter  Ashe  in  the  Brunswick  yesterday,  looking  as  if 
he  had  not  a  care  in  the  world.  The  stalwart  owner  of 
Geraldine  seems  to  take  life  easily  these  days,  except  in  the 
matter  of  exercise,  of  which  he  is  a  devotee.  Almost  eveiy 
morning  he  is  io  town  young  Ashe  takes  a  breather  of  from 
5  to  6  miles  at  a  gait  that  would  no)  disgrace  a  professional 
walkist. — "  Roundabout"  in  >".  Y*  Sporting  World,  March,  2.

and  the  horsemen.     By  liberal   methods  and   the  adop- 
tion of  a  general  and  harmonious  plan,  there  is  no  rea- 
son why  the  grand  circuit  of  California  caDnot  be  made  ; 
one  of  the  best  in  the  country,  and  so  prosperous  for  the 
horsemen  that  they  will  not  think  of  taking  their  star  j 
attractions  East.     The  importance  of  this  meeting,  and 
of  having  a  full     representation   cannot    be   over  esti- 
mated, and  it  is  hoped  that  the  affairs  will  be  so  arranged 
this  year  that  there  will  be  no  conflict  in  any  respect,  ! 
and  that  the  horsemen   will  have  no  reason  for  dissatis- 
faction. 

The  meeting  at  this  time  of  these  secretaries  will  be 
productive  of  much  good.  There  are  many  new  features 
to  discuss  that  are  of  paramount  importance  to  the  horse- 
men of  this  Coast.  Never  before  in  the  history  of  trot- 
ting has  there  been  such  an  awakening  among  owners 
and  trainers,  for  they  have  been  brought  to  a  realization 
of  the  state  of  the  industry  in  a  manner  they  had  never 
heretofore  dreamed  of. 

While  the  class  of  horses  have  improved  in  the  same 
ratio  as  the  means  for  developing  their  speed,  the  con- 
ditions of  making  entries  and  the  amounts  offered  by  the 
wide-awake  associations  have  also  taken  many  progres- 
sive  strides.

Association  Secretaries'  Meeting. 

It  haB  been  cuBtomary,  for  several  years  past,  for  the 
Secretaries  of  the  different  associations  of  the  grand  cir- 
cuit to  hold  a  meeting  at  about  this  time  of  the  year  to 
confer  with  each  other  relative  to  what  classes  and  races 
would  be  the  most  advisable  to  give,  and  the  arrange- 
ment of  a  programme  bo  that  the  homes  starting  at  the 
end  of  the  week,  at  one  place,  would  not  be  required  to 
start  the  first  of  the  week  at  the  next  meeting.  Notices 
have  been  sent  to  the  Secretaries  of  the  diflerent  Associa- 
tions calling  a  meeting  for  next  Wednesday,  the  21st 
inst.  at  the  office  of  the  BbbEDEB    I        -  man   at 

1  o'clock.  It  is  greatly  desired  that  eaefa  association 
send  a  delegate  authorized  to  act  on  such  nasi 
will  be  presented.  Matters  will  come  up,  the  harmoni- 
ous arrangement  of  which  will  tend  greatly  to  the 
ad  van!  ..•  of  the  race  meetings  on  the  circuit,  and 
toward   making  the  races  popular  both  with  the  public 


They  do  not  do  things  by  halves  in  Buffalo,  a 
reference  to  the  splendid  programme  of  races  they 
offer  in  this  issue  will  verify  this.  During  the  two 
weeks'  racing  over  seventy-five  thousand  dollars  will  be 
given  in  purses,  class  races  and  specials.  The  meeting 
will  commence  July  31st  and  end  August  10th.  The 
conditions  for  making  entries  are  on  the  most  liberal  and 
easy  terms,  and  as  a  number  of  our  leading  California 
trainers  and  drivers  intend  to  "take  in  the  Eastern 
circuit"  this  year,  they  should  not  defer  making  entries 
until  the  last  moment. 

At  very  few  meetings  on  the  grand  circuit  are  there  so 
many  large  purses  hung  up,  therefore  horsemen  should 
take  advantage  of  this  opportunity  at  once.  The 
amounts  for  the'  races  vary  from  $5,000  to  $1,000,  and 
nothing  less ;  and  as  the  Buffalo  track  has  achieved  a 
world-wide  reputation  for  its  excellence  and  for  the  com- 
modious improvements  and  appointments  connected 
with  it,  there  should  be  no  hesitancy  on  the  part  of 
horsemen  to  endeavor  to  reach  there  with  their  horses 
at  least  two  weeks  before  the  bell  rings.  Beinember 
there  are  races  for  all  c'asses  of  horses,  and  with  the  ma- 
terial on  this  Coast  that  is  being  prepared  for  the  East- 
ern circuit,  we  know  that  our  Californians  will  bring  no 
discredit  to  this  State.  Bead  the  advertisement  in  this 
issue  and  make  entries  at  once. 


The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A  Fall  Meeting. 


At  the  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  held  in  this 
city  last  week,  the  entries  for  the  pacing  races,  which 
were  added  to  the  original  programme,  were  opened.  It 
was  ascertained  that  only  one  race,  out  of  the  four,  re- 
ceived the  requisite  number  of  entries  and  will  form  part 
of  the  programme  for  the  meeting.  The  other  three  were 
declared  off.  Following  are  the  names  of  those  who  made 
entries  in  the  races   set  opposite  their  titles  :

The  purchase  of  that  piece  of  land  on  *he  old  San  .1 
road  just  south  of  the  Industrial  School  has  created  rau 
surprise  among  a  large  number  of  horsemen,  as  well 
real  estate  dealers.  Where  the  Bay  District  course 
only  sixty- ;wo  acres  comprise  the  entire  tract 
these  purchasers  of  the  new  place  have  secured  one  hi 
dred  and  ten  acres,  sufficient  to  make  one  of  the  fin' 
tracks  in  America,  and  have  plenty  of  room  for  gr; 
stands,  buildings  for  stables,  and  then  have  paddocks 
exercising  horses  that  are  not  to  be  raced. 

The  cost  of  the  land,  $165,000,  represents  about  01 
half  of  the  amount  that  will  be  expended  in  levelin 
improving  the  place.  Located  as  it  is,  five  miles  fn 
the  Xew  City  Hall,  it  can  be  reached  by  several  roads 
well  as  two  lines  of  railroad  cars. 

It  is  a  location  that  was  selected  some  years  ago  b' 
prominent  horseman  here.beeause  it  is  well  protected  fn 
the  westerly  winds,  and  would  be  an  idea!  place  for  t 
purpose  for  which  it  was  selected,  but  no  attention  » 
paid  to  his  claims  at  the  time. 

It  is  the  intention  of  these  Eastern  horsemen  who  hi 
been  prominently  identified  in  the  purchase  to  bring  i 
a  large  number  of  their  choicest  thoroughbreds,  and, 
everything  else  is  agreeable,  they  will  own  stock  far 
here  second  to  none  in  the  world,  and  be  libe 
buyers  from  our  small  breeders,  who  will  hereafter  tt 
their  attention  to  breeding  a  few  thoroughbreds  evi 
year.  A  boom  in  the  business  will  follow  the  purch 
of  this  race  track,for,with  great  wealth  to  back  the  ent 
prise.there  will  be  no  chance  for  a  failure.  It  is  the  6 
time  in  the  history  of  California  that  a  race  track  • 
be  built  and  owned  by  a  company  whose  aim  is  to  g 
racing  during  the  winter  months  on  their  own  track 

The  Bay  District  track  is  for  sale,  and  has  been  fo 
long  time,  and  the  only  reason  why  it  has  not  been  s 
and  cut  up  into  streets  before  is,  the  price  asked 
been  a  little  higher  than  the  amount  oflered  by  the  r 
estate  syndicates  that  have  been  vieing  with  each  oti 
to  get  it.  This  property  belongs  to  the  Stanford  a 
Crocker  estates,  and  is  becoming  more  and  more  valua 
every  year.  Its  situation  cannot  be  surpassed,  and 
more  railroads  have  their  tracks  laid  in  its  vicinity  tl 
any  other  block  of  land  of  its  size  in  California,  it  wo 
be  a  profitable  investment  even  at  the  price  asked, 
would  not  surprise  us  if  the  place  was  sold  inside 
sixty  days,  as  the  amount  received  for  its  rental  does] 
pay  the  taxes  on  it. 


The  Nashville  Meeting. 


Once  more  to  the  front  comes  Nashville,  Tenn.    1     ",~. 

directors  of  the  race  meeting  who  hold  forth  such  indt 

ments  yearly  to  owners  of  trotters   and  pacers  are  n< 

bit  behind  their  fellow  associates  in  the  East  this  y<    . 

They   announce   in  our  columns  to-day  that  a  ten 

meeting  will  be  held  at  the   famous   Cumberland   P 

commencing  October  loth,  which,  in  its  many  exci 

features,  also   includes  the   fact    that    notwithstai 

purses  will  be  given    ranging   from   $5,000  to  $G0 

money  will  be  deducted  from  winners.     The  condi 

are  most  liberal  in  all  other  respects,  while  the  trad 

been  the  battle  ground  over  which  old  Father  Time 

been  annihilated  more  times  than  over  any  similar 

in  America.  Xo  better  recommendation  is  necessary, 

tries  will  close  April  2d  and  we  urge  upon  all  our 

Coast  horsemen, who  are  making  arrangements  to  go 

to  enter  their  colts  and  Gliies  for  the  races  at   Nasi 

Tennessee,  and  they  will  return  to  California  and 

us,  as  others  have  done,  for  the  recommendation. 


The  great  sale  of  Palo  Alto  trotting  stock  thai 
take  place  on  the  famous  farm  on  the  2t3th  of  Apri 
attract  a  large  crowd  of  buyers   from  all   parts  of 
Pacific  Coast.     Seventeen   stallions,    fifteen   fillies  i 
forty  choicely-bred  geldings  will   he  sold   to  the  hi] 
bidders.     There  are  numbers  among  them  that,  if  wor 
a  little,  would  be  eligible  for  2:20  honors.     The  stalli 
are  of  all   ages,  from  yearlings  up,  and   seekers  a 


royally-bred   ones  will  "have  an   opportunity  of  gett 


them  at  their  own  price.  There  are  fifteen  two  and  I 
vear-old  fillies,  and  we  are  pleased   to  see   a   chano 
all'orded  our  breeders  to  purchase  them  at  this  sale. 
will  have  mure  extended  notices  of  this  sale  herealtei 


The  class  of  stallions  advertised  for  public  ser 
whose  names  and  pedigrees  appear  in  this  journal,  corflr 
very  favorably  with  those  in  any  part  of  the  TJn 
States.     Oivners  of  well-bred  mares  cannot  sav  that 


service  fees  of  first-class  stallions  are   so  high  they 
not  afford  to  patronize  them  this  year.

Remember  the  great  Blue  Ribbon  meeting  of  the 
ilden  Crate  Fair  Association  ;  the  advertisement  in  this 
ue  is  one  that  should  attract  the  attention  of  every 
rseman  on  the  coast.  The  purses  are  larger  than  those 
|er  given  by  this  association,  and  the  terms  are 
I  liberaFthat  no  owners  of  good  colts  or  fillies  can  afford 
llet  this  opportunity  pass  of  having  them  entered. 
here  are  purses  for  ill  ages  from  yearlings  up,  and  as 
epurses  average  $1,000  and  the  rate  of  entrance  so 
w,  those  of  our  trainers  who  have  been  contemplating 
fiog  East  should  stop  and  consider  the  advisability  of 
maining  here.  All  the  associations  comprising  the 
difornia  circuit  will  follow  the  example  set  by  the 
Agressive  directors  of  this  association.  Entries  for  all 
e  races  advertised  by  them  will  close  April  2d.  It  is 
it  necessary  to  send  money  with  the  entries  ;  that  can 
sent  later  on.  This.and  the  large  purses  offered  should 
sure  the  largest  list  of  entries  ever  received  by  any  as- 
ciation  in  California.  Horsemen  from  Washington  to 
m  Diego  who  intend  to  go  through  the  California  cir- 
.it  with  their  horses  should  make  their  entries  to  this 
eeting  at  Oakland  at  once. 


San  Francisco's  New  Race  Course. 


There  are  six  races  advertised  by  Agricultural  Dis- 
ict  No.  6,  which  comprises  the  counties  of  San  Mateo

The  Tear  Book  of  1893. 


The  long-looked  for  Year  Books  arrived  last  week  and  they 
sre  a  surprise,  for  instead  of  the  two  bulky  volumes  like 
of  last  year  comprising  1,214  pages,  this  is  a  single 
dame  of  633  pages.  This  abridgement  has  become  neces- 
ry  from  the  multitude  of  public  performances,  the  full  sum- 
Mies  ot  which  would  require  so  much  space.  The  new  Year 
uok  publishes  only  the  summaries  of  events  where  one  or 
ore  heats  were  as  fast  as  2:30  trotting  and  2:25  pacing  ;  the 
»wer  records  are  condensed  by  an  alphabetical  list  of  the 
trees  making  them,  provided  their  previous  marks  were  im- 
■oved.  There  is  another  marked  change  in  "The  Great 
■He"  of  trotters  and  pacers  under  their  sires.  Heretofore 
e  fall  list  of  each  stallion's  get  that  scored  2:30_  trotting  or 
25  pacing  was  given,  but  now  only  those  winning  heats  in 
p93  are  named,  and  the  rest  are  merely  mentioned  as  to 
imbers-  For  example,  in  the  Year  Book  of  1S92,  under 
eorge  Wilkes,  the  seventy-one  trotters  and  seven  pacers  in 
s  roll  of  honor  are  set  forth  in  detail.  Xuw  only  five  names 
tpear,  including  the  Dew  comer,  Sir  Wilkes,  2:241,  and  he 
aimplv  credited  with  seventy-one  trotters  and  eight  pacers. 
milariiy,  the  one  hundred  and  twenty  performers  by  Elec- 
meer  are  reduced  to  twenty-six  names,  though  hestill  leads 
1  sires  with  one  hundred  and  thirty-six  trotters  and  one 
icer  to  his  credit. 

Turning  to  the  lists  of  2:30  trotters  and  2:25  pacers  the 
tormous  increase  of  record  makers  becomes  apparent,  since 
ere  are  now  9,102  trotters  and  1,872  pacers  that  have  ac- 
mp)iQhed  these  feats.  This  means  that  the  fast  performers 
the  close  of  18y2  have  been  reinforced  by  2,170,  of  which 
608  are  trotters  and  562  are  pacers.  There  was  a  rumor 
at  many  of  the  records  rejected  by  the  American  Trotting 
egister  Association  in  the  preceding  volume  would  be  ac- 
pted  in  the  current  one.  This  is  set  at  naught  by  the  fact 
atStamboul  is  still  credited  with  2:11  instead  of  the  2:071 
limed  for  him  in  1892,  and  all  the  other  disqualifications 
ade  last  year  seem  to  remain. 

Bysdyk's  Hambletonian  disappears  from  the  Great  Table, 
id  is  relegated  to  one  in  which  are  grouped  those  sires 
lose  sons  or  daughters  did  not  win  heats  in  "standard" 
ne  during  1893.  Here  the  famous  Hero  of  Chester  is  shown 
be  still  the  greatest  progenitor  of  speed  in  the  second  gen- 
ation  with  1,311  record-makers  by  his  sons  and  an  even  one 
indred  from  his  daughters.  Nutwood  has  the  largest  list  of 
y  tiring  siallion,  with  109  at  both  gaits,  thirty-two  of  them 
nog  been  heat  dinners  last  year. 

In  this  general  condensing  process  the  table  of  Great  Brood 
ares  has  been  included,  and  the  produce  of  dams  that  did 
t  do  something  in  1893  are  not  mentioned.  This  is  a  ques- 
mable  pruning,  since  one  must  go  back  to  Volume  VII 1.  of 
e  Year  Book  to  get  the  names  of  these  under  their  dams. 
would  have  required  but  little  labor  to  give  at  least  the 
tubers  of  each  mare's  fast  performers,  and  to  do  the  same 
the  sires  in  the  annex  to  the  Great  Table.

No  less  than  $165,000  changed  hands  yesterday  over  the 
transfer  of  110  acres  of  land  situated  just  five  miles  southwest 
of  the  New  City  Hall.  Joe  Ullman,  one  of  the  best-knowa 
racing  men  in  America,  carried  the  deal  through  in  the  in- 
terest of  Messrs.  Ed.  Corrigan  of  Chicago,  Alex.  Ullman  Of 
East  St.  Louis,  George  Walbaum  of  New  York,  James  L. 
Flood  of  San  Francisco,  and  a  fifth  party  whose  name  is  not 
at  present  known,  but  is  believed  to  be  E.  J.  Baldwin,  the 
California      multi-millionaire.  The      tract      of       land 

which  cost  $1,500  an  acre  is  a  lovely  spot  sheltered  from  the 
winds  that  blow  in  freshness  and  fog  from  the  bosom  of  the 
booming  Pacific,  and  is  the  only  place  anywhere  near  San 
Francisco  so  admirably  adapted  for  the  purpose  it  will  be 
used  for — to  hold  the  most  complete  race  course  and  build- 
ings by  long  odds  in  the  far  West.  It  is  just  southwest  of  the 
Industrial  School,  and  the  Southern  Pacific  railroad  runs 
very  close  to  the  spot.  Electric  cars  will  run  to  the  gate,  as 
a  company  has  a  franchise  and  only  have  to  add  a  spur  to 
the  line  already  in  operation. 

The  story  of  the  deal  is  as  follows:  A  few  weeks  ago  George 
F.  Walbaum,  chief  owner  of  the  Guttenburg  and  Saratoga 
tracks,  arrived  in  San  Francisco.  He  knew  that  his  chief 
source  of  revenue  was  about  to  be  cut  off— that  racing  in  New 
Jersey  was  as  good  as  killed  and  that  carrying  it  on  in  the 
winter  in  the  land  of  lightning  and  mosquitoes  was  simply 
out  of  the  question.  He  was  Mr.  Baldwin's  guest  daring  his 
stay  in  this  city  and  also  visited  Los  Angeles.  Mr.  Wal- 
baum was  not  idle  while  here.  He  saw  what  a  great 
wiuter  racing  point  this  could  be  made,  and  quietly  he  went 
around  the  surrounding  country  searching  for  a  suitable  site. 
At  last  he  found  what  he  thought  was  the  right  spot.  A  tele- 
gram called  him  away,  many  prominent  racing  men  wanting 
him  to  reopen  the  Saratoga  stakes  or  institute  others — this  on 
account  of  the  Legislature  of  New  Jersey  sounding  what 
seemed  the  death-knell  of  Monmouth  Park,  Gloucester  and 
Gutlenburg.  Mr.  Walbaum  is  interested  with  Alex.  Ullman  in 
the  East  St.  Louis  track,  and  was  in  communication  with  him 
all  the  time  regarding  the  outlook  here.  When  Mr.  Walbaum 
returned  it  will  be  observed  that  Joe  Ullman  Alex's  brother, 
came  to  this  city  within  a  few  days.  Mr.  Ullman  and  Mr.  E. 
Corrigan  are  great  friends,  and  have  been  for  years.  The 
Master  of  Hawthorne  was  of  course  naturally  asked  by  Joe 
Ullman  to  co-operate  with  them.  Then  they  began  to  look 
around  for  a  couple  of  likely  San  Francisco  men  to  go  in 
with  them,  for  it  would  not  do  to  have  only  men  in  the  com- 
pany from  the  other  side  of  the  Rockies,  comparatively  un- 
known here.  James  L.  Flood,  the  very  genial  capitalist  and 
an  enthusiastic  lover  of  racing,  was  hit  upon  as  a  likely  co- 
worker, and  a  better  selection  could  not  have  been  made. 
Whether  the  fifth  gentleman  in  the  corporation  (for  it  is 
understood  there  is  already  a  corporation)  is  E.  J.  Baldwin 
or  not  remains  to  be  seen  and  it  will  be  known  within  the 
next  few  days. 

Joe  Ullman  engineered  the  purchase,  for  had  such  a  promi- 
nent racing  magnate  as  Mr.  Corrigan  tried  to  secure  the  land 
of  the  owner,  Adolph  Sutro,  the  agents,  the  Messrs.  Shain- 
wald  &  Buckbee  would  have  known  at  once  that  it  was  in- 
tended to  build  a  race  track  on  the  ground,  and  might  have 
raised  the  price  a  trifle.  Besides,  other  gentlemen  were  look- 
ing for  race  tract  sites  near  the  city.  Mr.  Ullman  hinted 
that  he  wanted  to  buy  the  tract  and  subdivide  it  into  build- 
ing lots.  A  surveyor  was  sent  out,  supposedly  to  see  to  the 
subdivisions,  but  he  really  looked  into  its  adaptability  for  a 
a  race  track.  He  reported  favorably,  and  the  plans  are 
already  in  the  minds  of  Messrs.  Corrigan  and  Ullman. 

Mr.  Corrigan  was  seen  yesterday  and  asked  if  it  were  true 
that  the  tract  had  been  purchased  for  the  purpose  of  building 
a  race  course.  A  smile  overspread  his  face  as  he  answered  : 
('  Yes,  it  is  true.  We  had  no  idea  of  building  a  church  on 
the  ground."  Then  he  remarked  that  the  place  would  be 
one  in  every  way  worthy  of  such  a  great  city  as  San  Francisco, 
with  which  he  has  been  simply  charmed.  He  considers  this 
the  winter  racing  point  par  excellence  of  the  world.  '*  Whether 
we  will  have  the  track  and  buildings  ready  by  next  fall  or 
not  I  cannot  tell  just  at  present,  but  work  will  bebegua  before 
long,  that  much  I  will  say." 

Those  interested  in  the  new  race  track,  etc.,  are  most  suc- 
cessful business  men.  Mr.  Corrigan  made  the  nucleus  of  his 
fortune  in  rail  way -building.  In  the  early  eighties  he  built 
and  owned  most  of  the  street  railway  lines  of  Kansas  City, 
Mo.,  and  went  into  racing  about  the  yearlS82,  having  in  his 
string  the  conqueror  of  Miss  Woodford  (Freeland)  and  Pearl 
Jennings,  one  of  the  best  mares  in  America  any 
distance  up  to  a  mile.  Later  he  owned  such  renowned 
horses  as  Modesty  (winner  of  the  first  American  Derby) 
Freeman,  Riley,  Unite,  Ethel,  Vassal  and  Cicero,  among 
others,  and  has  always  been  close  to  the  top  of  the  list  of  win- 
ning owners.  About  four  years  ago  he  secured  the  Haw- 
thorne track,  near  Chicago,  and  has  made  a  great  success  of 
the  institution  in  every  sense  of  the  word. 

Joe  Ullman,  who  carried  this  deal  through,  has  for  many 
years  past  been  noted  as  one  of  the  heaviest-betting  book- 
makers in  America.  He  bought  Racelaod  for  §160  as  a  year- 
ling and  sold  him  to  August  Belmont  for  $17,500.  Joe  Ull- 
man is  as  game  a  bettor  as  ever  stood  on  a  block,  and  his 
word  is  good  for  almost  any  amount  wherever  he  is  known, 
and  that  is  pretty  much  all  over  this  country.  His  brother 
Alex,  is  a  fine  business  man. 

George  F.  Walbaum  has  made  close  to  a  million  dollars 
conducting  race  tracks  and  making  books  on  the  races,  and 
is  credited  with  being  one  of  the  shrewdest  men  in  the  busi- 
ness, as  well  as  a  far-seeing  one.  He  employs  the  best  talent 
obtainable  at  his  tracks,  pays  good  salaries  and  conducts 
racing  in  an  honorable  way. 

James  L.  Flood  and  E.  J.  Baldwin  are  well  known  in  this 
city,  where  they  have  lived  the  greater  part  of  their  lives. 

The  well-known  race  horse  Altus  was  sold  here  by  M.  T. 
Walters  the  other  day.  Altus  is  a  bay  horse,  five  years  old, 
by  Billy  Bollinger  (son  of  Woodburn),  dam  Delia  Walker  (dam 
of  Al  Farrow),  by  Jim  Glenn  ;  second  dam  by  Lummux ; 
third  dam  untraced.         

Clint  H.  Seabring,  superintendent  of  the  trottiog  stock 
of  the  Moorland  Stock  Farm  started  for  Denver  last  Wed- 
nesday. Mr.  Seabring  is  a  very  capable  horseman  and  will 
do  well  wherever  he  goes 

C.  W.  Welby  purchased  the  handsome  coarh  stallion  Ab- 
bott last  week,  and  will  breed  him  to  a  number  of  his  choicest 
mares;  the  produce  ought  to  be  the  finest  looking  carriage 
horses  in  this  State. 


Pleasanton  Track  Items. 


[fboji  direct.! 

Mr.  Mclver,  of  Mission  San  Jose,  has  his  horse  Alert  at 
the  track  being  trained  by  E.  M.  Sanders. 

H.  Timmerman's  Mariposa,  by  Guide,  dam  by  Monroe 
Chief,  is  looking  splendid.  As  yet  she  has  not  been  "given  any 
hard  work. 

Bunnell  Bros.,  of  Spokane,  Washington,  arrived  here 
Thursday  with  eight  head  of  trotters.  They  are  now  located 
at  the  Pleasanton  track. 

The  following  noted  mares  will  be  mated  to  Diablo  this 
season:  Dam  of  Cricket,  2:10;  Grace,  dam  of  Creole,  2:15; 
Geraldine,  2:16  and  Belle  Bntton,  2:17. 

Sidlette,  the  four-year  old  filly  by  Sidney,  with  a  record  of 
2:22  is  now  under  the  skillful  management  of  Andy  McDow- 
ell. She  was  led  down  from  Stockton,  arriving  here  Tuesday 
afternoon. 

E.  M.  Sanders  is  doing  good  work  with  Little  Albert,  2:10 
apd  Little  Hope,  2:21}.  E.  M.  expects  to  take  in  the  Northern 
circuit  this  year.  Should  he  conclude  to  do  so  we  predict 
that  the  son  of  Albert  W.  will  capture  many  of  the  open 
events. 

The  number  of  horses  now  in  training  at  the  Pleasanton 
track  from  the  several  stables  here  are  as  follows  :  Orrin 
Hickok,  12;  E.  M.  Sanders,  2;  Wm.  Murray,  3  ;  Andy  Mc- 
Dowell, 4;  Meyers  &  Meyers,  6 ;  J.  M.  Alviso,  2 ;  Monroe 
Salisbury,  40. 

Charles  Thayer  has  opened  a  stable  here,  and  will  do  break- 
ing and  training.  He  has  two  stallions  with  him  at  present. 
Thayermont,  2:31  J,  by  Judge  Salisbury,  he  by  Nutwod,  2:1 8|. 
His  dam  is  Nelly,  bv  A.  W.  Richmond,  sire  "of  Arrow,  2:13k 
The  other  is  Rex  Gifiord,  a  green  three-year-old  by  Atto 
Rex,  2:21,  he  by  Attorney,  he  by  Harold,  sire  of  Maud  S. 
His  dam  is  the  same  as  Thayermont  they  being  half  brothers. 
The  colt  is  said  to  be  very  speedy,  and  is  expected  to  make  a 
mark  this  year. 

Wm.  Murray's  Diablo,  2:09},  is  looking  splendid,  but  is  re- 
ceiving light  work  as  he  will  be  in  the  stud  for  a  couple  of 
months  yet,  after  which  he  will  receive  plenty  of  work.  Mur- 
ray expects  to  clip  off  a  few  seconds  from  his  four  year-old 
record  this  year.  Besides  Diablo,  Mr.  Murray  has  the  green 
pacing  mare,  Betty  M.  by  Cresco.  He  recently  worsed  the 
mare  a  mile  in  2:25  which  is  not  bad  considering  the  short 
time  she  has  been  worked.  He  also  has  a  promising  pacing 
filly,  owned  by  toe  well-known  John  A.  McbTerron,  dealer  in 
horse  boots  and  fine  harness,  etc.,  of  San  Francisco.  A  note- 
worthy feature  of  this  trio  of  pacers  lies  in  the  fact  that 
they  were  all  foaled!  at  the  famous  Cook  Stock  Farm  over  in 
our  neighboring  county,  near  Danville. 

One  of  the  finest  specimens  of  horseflesh  we  ever  saw  is  the 
pure  Orloff  bred  Russian  stallion  Krakus,  now  quartered  at 
Mr.  Alviso's  stable  and  under  the  management  of  Orrin 
Hickok.  This  magnificently-formed  animal  was  bred  at  the 
stud  of  T.  A.  Sheremetiefer,  in  the  Providence  of  Orloff", 
Russia.  Krakus  has  a  record  of  2:20  for  1\  versts  and  4:50 
for  3  versts  made  at  Moscow,  Russia,  and  is  equal  to  a  mile  in 
about  2:20.  He  is  being  worked  on  the  Pleasanton  track  by 
Orrin  Hickok,  and  it  is  understood  that  should  he  be  given  a 
record  of  2:03,  an  Eastern  capitalist  will  purchase  him  at  the 
handsome  sum  of  $25,000.  This  Russian-bred  horse,  while 
he  is  a  beautiful  animal,  is  not  altogether  different  from  our 
American  product,  in  fact  he  bears  a  very  close  resemblance 
to  that  grand  old  sire,  Stamboul,  in  his  general  make-op.  He 
has  strong,  well-built  limes,  and  is  unusually  long  from  the 
flanks  to  the  hock  joint  and  very  short  from  there  to  the 
pastern  with  a  strong,  well-made  pastern.  Should  he  fail  to 
make  a  mile  in  2:08  many  knowing  horsemen  will  be  greatly 
fooled  in  him.  As  yet  he  has  not  been  speeded,  therefore 
nothing  can  be  said  of  his  movements.

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Northwestern  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders'  Association  met  at  Chicago  Tuesday,  March 
6th,  and  made  up  the  programme  of  stakes  for  the  annual 
meeting  at  Washington  Park,  August  18lh  to  26th.  The 
aggregate  amount  of  the  purses  offered  is  $50,000.  Entries 
will  close  April  1st.  A  new  feature  will  be  a  Derby  on  the 
first  day  for  a  purse  of  *2,000  for  trotters  in  the  2:35  class. 
It  is  to  be  a  two-mile  dash.  The  largest  purse  is  $5,000  for 
the  2:20  class  of  trotters,  and  for  pacers  in  the  2:15  class, 
$3,000.  

The  Eclectic  colts  and  fillies  at  Rancho  Cotati  are  looking 
very  well.  An  Eastern  horseman,  who  recently  visited  this 
large  farm  says  :  "  They  are  the  most  uniform  looking  young- 
sters I  ever  saw.  Eclectic  has  been  bred  to  grey,  roan  and 
chestnut  mares,  some  of  the  latter  badly  marked,  yet  he  has 
never  sired  a  colt  that  was  not  a  bay,  brown,  or  black;  in 
this  respect  he  is  remarkable.  If  there  are  not  some  great 
campaigners  among  them  I  will  be  very  much  surprised." 

Sam'l.  Sherman,  a  well-known  horseman  formerly  of 
Calaveras  Valley,  Santa  Clara  County,  has  leased  the  Mc- 
DevittFarm,  near  Lakeville,  Sonoma  Couuty.  He  has  a  fine 
looking  stallion  called  Briarhill,  which  he  will  breed  most  of 
his  mares  to  this  year.  Briarhill  is  bv  Billy  Thorohill,  out 
of  a  mare  by  Granger,  son  of  Hercules;  second  dam,  the  dam 
of  Lady  Sherman  and  Goldnnt,  by  Champion.  Briarhill  will 
be  handled  for  speed  this  year.

training  Golddust  Wilkes,  What  Ho,  2:25},  and  two  green 
ones.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  Gun  Club  will  shoot  to-day  at  Oakland  Race  Track. 

rhere  are  myriads  of  wild  pigeons  iu  Monterey  county,  if 
the  reports  ate  correct.      

Tbe  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  shoot  to-morrow  at  their  shoot 
ing  grounds  near  Alameda  Mole. 

The  Ladies'  Gun  Club  of  Petaluma  is  prospering.    Several 
new  members  have  been  elected  recently.  , 


Blue  rock  shooting.to  judge  by  the  country  orders  received 
by  the  trade,  is  becoming  more  popular  than  ever. 

Two  mountain  lions  were  killed  by  stockmen  this  week 
while  riding  along  the  hills  Grande  Ronde  river,  a  short  dis- 
tance above  its  junction  with  the  Snake  river. 

The  attendance  at  the  State  Sportsmen's  Association  Tour- 
nament on  April  5-Sth  next,  promises  to  be  unusually  large. 
Many  Northern  sportsmen  have  signified  their  intention  of 
attending,  and  several  from  Victoria  and  Seattle  are  now 
here.  

Geese  are  not  protected  in  this  State  and  consequently  a 
great  many  of  them  are  shot  during  the  close  seasan.  How 
many  ducks  there  are  in  the  bottom  of  the  bag  will  probably 
never  be  known,  but  no  man  who  claims  to  be  a  sportsman 
will  yieldto  the  temptation  of  bagging  a  mallard  that  may  be 
nesting. 

The  attendance  at  the  blue  rock  shooting  grounds  of  Clab- 
rough,  Golcher  &  Co.  at  Oakland  Race  Track  has  been  rather 
light  so  far.  A  few  were  practicing  on  Saturday,  among  them 
"Slade,"  Robinson,  Vernon  and  a  few  others.  Robinson  broke 
39  out  of  40  in  one  string. 

The  Colgate  rescuing  party  have  returned  after  an  unsuc- 
cessful search  for  the  lost  cook  of  the  Carlin  party.  They 
went  twenty-five  miles  beyond  the  famous  Black  canyon  of 
the  Clearwater,  but  could  find  no  trace  of  the  lost  man.  They 
lost  their  camp  equipage,  blankets  and  provisions,  and  for 
three  weeks  their  only  food  was  unsalted  deer  and  elk  meat. 
Several  of  the  party  were  badly  frozen,  and  narrowly  escaped 
death. 

Last  week  it  wai  alleged  that  a  carcass  of  venison  was  hang- 
ing in  the  butcher  shop  of  Smith  &  Gibson  at  Ukiah.  State 
Game  Commissioner  Hollingsnorth  swore  to  a  complaint. 
An  officer  was  unable  to  lind  the  carcass  in  the  shop,  but 
claimed  to  have  found  the  remains  in  the  vicinity  of  their 
slaughter  house.  At  the  trial  the  prosecution  was  unable  to 
prove  to  the  satisfaction  of  the  jury  the  allegations  of  the 
complaint,  and  they  returned  a  verdict  of  not  guilty. 

There  wilj  be  a  50-bird  match  at  artificial  birds  at  Clay- 
brotigh,  Golcher  &  Co.'s  shooting  grounds  on  April  1st.  The 
entrance  will  be  $5  including  birds.  These  popular  shooting 
grounds  are  in  the  best  possible  condition.  The  expert  traps 
and  electric  pull  are  the  most  modern  appliances  on  the 
market.  The  attendance  will  unquestionably  be  large,  as  the 
target  shooters  will  embrace  this  opportunity  to  practice  at 
the  grounds  that  will  he  used  during  the  coming  State 
Tournament. 

Several  of  the  local  sportsmen  enjoyed  a  pleasant  shoot  at 
the  Oakland  Mace  Track  on  Sunday   last,  practicing   for   the 
great   tournament    in    April.     Before    lunch    "Slade"  and 
Robinson  shot  a  nine-bird  match,  "Slade"  marking  a  clean 
o  Robinson's  eight. 
After  lunch  a  twelve-bird  sweepstake  was  Bhot,  Robinson 
.1  ;i    ■■'!  11,  "  James "  9,  "Slade"  9,  Thompson  6,  Vernon  1. 
Several  six-bird  matchce  were  bhot.     Robinson  won  the  lirst. 
t raight;  in   the  second,  Robinson  and   . lames  killed 
five  each.     '  >n  shooting  out  the  tie  iu  another  nix-bird  match 
■ii  and  James  each  killed  five.       In  the  fourth  Robin- 
son won.     The  birds  Were  very  strong  flyers.

The  Petaluma  Gun  Club  have  made  arrangements  for  a 

series   of    clay    pu-;  >n    shoots,  to   be   held  at    Agricultural 

park    every    Tuesday    afternoon.     Any    person    can    shoot 

vhether  bfl  i*  a  member  of  the  local    club  or   not.      Two 

a  gold  <>,](■  for  the  best  average  and  one  of  leather  for 

the  I y  prize,  have  been  provided.     The  medals  are  to  be 

contested  for  i  ach  week,  and  to  remain  the  property  of  the 
club. 


The  Sportsmen's  Convention. 

Great  interest  is  being  shown  throughout  the  State  in  the 
coming  convention  of  sportsmen.  More  uniform  game  laws 
are  absolutely  necessary  for  the  perservation  of  game. 

"Everybody's  business  is  nobody's  business."  If  a  game 
warden  be  appointed  or  elected  for  each  and  every  county, 
and  care  is  taken  in  the  selection  of  these  wardens,  our  game 
con  be  protected.  Let  the  warden  be  paid  for  the  services  per- 
formed by  himself  or  his  deputies  and  let  such  men  be  se- 
lected as  will  not  be  frightened  into  a  fit  by  every  threat  ut- 
tered by  the  anarchistic  ruffians  whose  path  he  crosses.  Given 
such  men,  our  game  can  be  protected,  provided  that  laws  be 
given  them  to  enforce  that  one  cannot  drive  a  horse  and  cart 
through. 

It  is  to  propose  such  laws  to  the  Legislature  that  the  con- 
vention of  sportsman  has  been  called  for  April  10th  next. 

Governor  Markham  has  appointed  the  following  delegates 
at  large :  From  San  Francisco,  Judge  Joseph  McKenna, 
Crittenden  Robinson,  W  W  Foote,  W  S  Kiltie,  Harry  Bab- 
cock,  S  E  Knowles  and  J  O  Cadman;  Sacramento,  W  E  Ger- 
ber  and  C  N  Post;  Grass  Valley,  DrI  W  Hayes;  Colusa,  H  M 
Albery;  San  Diego,  Leonard  Goodman;  Oakland,  F  W  Hen- 
shaw  ;  Chico,  Park  Henshaw  ;  Los  Angeles,  H  M  Macneil  ; 
Yreka,  Or  H  D  Robertson;  Salinas,  Judge  A  Dorn,  Riverside, 
AWBruner;  San  Bernardino,  H  M  Willis;  San  Benito, 
Senator  Thomas  Flint  Jr. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors  of  each  county  in  tbe  State  have 
been  requested  to  appoint  two  representative  sportsmen  to  act 
as  delegates  to  the  convention.  They  have  already  appointed 
quite  a  number.  San  Luis  Obispo  county  has  appointed  W 
S  Lewis,  of  Paso  Robles  and  Thos  Pattison,  of  San  Luis 
Obispo;  Calaveras  county,  Walter  Tryon,  of  Angels  Camp 
and  C  W  Getchell,  of  San  Andreas;  San  Diego  county,  E  S 
Babcock,  president  of  the  gun  club  at  Coronado  and  Arthur  G 
Nason;  Los  Angeles  county,  J  B  Banning  and  Wm  G  Kerck- 
hoffboth  well-known  Los  Angeles  sportsmen;  Amador  county, 
C  A  Jarvis,  of  lone  and  Dr  W  A  Norman,  of  Plymouth; 
Contra  Costa  county,  T  A  Machon,  of  Martinez  and  Wm 
Hemme, of  Danville;  Tulare  county,  J  Sub  Johnson,  presi- 
dent of  the  Visalia  Sportsmen's  Club  and  John  Sinclair,  of 
Porterville;  Humboldt  county,  A  J  Wiley,  president  of  Hum- 
boldt County  Sportsmen's  Club,  of  Eureka;  Sacramento 
county,  Jas  M  Morrison  and  J  W  Todd,  of  Sacramento; 
Colusa  county,  Mr  Willis,  of  Colusa  and  Fred  W  Farnsworth, 
of  Sycamore;  Glenn  county,  Mr  Murdoch,  of  Willows.  These 
are  representative  meD,  and  should  like  men  be  appointed 
by  theother  counties  the  success  of  the  convention  is  assured. 

A  sample  of  many  letters  received  from  all  over  the  State : 
Sacramento,  March  14,  1894. 
E.  L.  Bosqui,  Acting  Secretary  State  Sportsmen's  Association. 

Dear  Sir  : — Your  communication  of  the  1st  inst.  was 
duly  recorded.  The  matter  was  brought  before  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  of  our  County,  and  in  pursuance  of  the  request 
therein  contained, the  Board  of  Supervisors  did,  on  the  9th  of 
March,  1S94,  duly  elect  as  delegates  to  represent  the  County 
of  Sacramento  in  said  convention  James  M.  Morrison,  the 
Chairman  of  the  said  Board,  and  J.  W*  Todd,  a  member  of 
said  Board,  who  are  old  sportsmen,  and  fully  alive  to  the 
necessity  of  legislation  on  the  question  of  game  protection  in 
this  State.  Your  communication  awakened  considerable  in- 
terest in  our  Board  and  of  the  Press,  who  freely  noticed  the 
same  at  length.  It  is  a  great  step  for  California,  and  will  un- 
doubtedly result  in  great  good.  Yours  respectfully,  County 
Clerk,  Sacramento  County.

Game    in    Cold   Storage- 

A  law  passed  by  the  last  Legislature  contains  this  clause 

"  Every  cold  storage  company,  person  keeping  a  cok 
storage  warehouse,  tavern  or  hotel-keeper,  restaurant  or  eat- 
ing-house keeper,  marketman  or  any  other  person  who  shah 
sell,  expose  or  offer  for  sale,  or  give  away,  or  have  in  his  poe 
session  in  this  State  any  deer,  quail,  bob-white,  partridge* 
pheasant,  grouse,  dove  or  wild  duck  during  the  time  it  shal 
be  unlawful  to  kill  such  animal  or  bird,  shall  be  guilty  of 
misdemeanor. 

"  The  season  in  which  it  is  unlawful  under  the  statut* 
to  kill  quail  and  ducks  is  from  March  1st  to  September  1st.' 

In  our  estimation  this  is  one  of  the  best  laws  ever  passed 
as  it  eflectually  puts  a  stop  to  the  disposition  of  illegally 
killed  game. 

As  it  is  impossible  to  prove  by  the  state  of  preservation 
the  game  whethei  it  has  been  in  the  cold  storage  warehoi 
one  day  or  six  months,  unscrupulous  dealers  may  purchi 
during  any  portion  of    the   closed  season,  and  by  having  il 
shipped  marked  poultry,  can  defy  detection. 

Mr.  Charles  O.  Swanberg,  the  well-known  restaurateur, 
president  and  manager  of  the  Merchants'  Cold  Storage  anil 
Ice  Company,  was  arrested  last  week  for  violation  of  tl 
above  \sur.  Chief  Deputy  Babcock  and  DeputyAl  Wilson 
the  State  Board  of  Fish  Commissioners,  seized  a  large  num 
ber  of  quail  and  duck  at  his  warehouse. 

The  case  was  brought  up  on  Monday  last,  and  Police  Jud 
Low  adjudged  him  guilty.  The  offense  consisted  in  havis 
quail  in  his  possession  for  sale  out  of  season.  The  cat 
was  submitted  on  an  agreed  statement  of  facts. 

The  case  will  form  the  basis  of  an  attack  in  the  Superi 
Court  on  the  constitutionality  of  the  law.  The  defense  wi 
set  up  the  claim  that  the  game  was  killed  prior  to  the  begi 
ning  of  the  close  season,  and  may  be  used  whenever  its  own 
shall  determine. 

Later :  Mr.  Swanberg  was  sentenced  on  Wednesday  to  p 
a  fine  of  $20  or  go  to  Jail  for  twenty  days.  His  attorneys  ii 
mediately  went  before  the  Superior  Court  upon  a  writ 
habeas  corpus.  Should  Swanberg  be  remanded  an  appeal 
will  be  taken  at  once  to  the  Supreme  Court  in  order  that  th< 
law  may  be  tested.

Blemton  Reefer. 


San  Francisco,  March  13, 1894. 
Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — I  have  disposed  of 
my  fox  terrier  Blemton  Reefer  to  Joseph  McLatchie,  of  this 
city,  and  in  doing  so  wish  to  eay  the  following  :  I  bought  the 
dog  from  Mr.  August  Belmont  Jr.,  in  1892,  after  he  had  won 
fourth  prize  at  New  York  ia.  the  strongest  class  of  fox  ter- 
rier dogs  ever  benched  in  this  country.  He  also  won  first  and 
special  at  Los  Angeles  same  year  and  second  Los  Angeles  and 
San  Francisco,  1S93.  Reefer  comes  from  the  best  winning 
strains,  his  sire  Cb.  Yenio,  I  believe  stands  second  to  St i pen- 
dian,  as  a  sire  of  winners,  his  dam  Ch.  Rachel,  stood  at  the 
head  of  the  breed  in  this  country  for  many  years  and  has  pro- 
duced a  number  of  winners.  Blemton  Rasper,  brother  to 
Reefer,  has  sired  Bleinlou  Yindex  and  Blemton  Votary,  win- 
ners first  and  second,  open  class,  and  Blemton  Viking,  third 
in  dog  pups  at  the  recent  New  York  Show.  Reefer  has  sired 
Golden  Gem,  the  best,  bitch  yet  shown  in  California,  and  a 
number  of  other  good  ones  that  will  appear  at  the  shows  this 
year.  1  shall  continue  'o  use  Reefer  to  my  bitches  and  would 
advise  breeders  heie  to  do  the  same,  as  he  is  no  doubt  the 
best  show  and  stud  d«»g  ou  this  Coast.        Youra  truly

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


The  next  International  Field  Trials  will  be  held  at  Chat- 
ham, Ont.,  on  November  6th. 

Mr  T  S  Bellin  will  take  the  foxterrier  and  other  terrier

Dr.  A.  C.  Davenport  will  kindly  accept  oar  thanks  for  an 
excellent  photograph  of  a  Utter  of  cocker  spaniels. 

Dr.  Thos.  Bowhill  has  lost  his  wire-haired  fox  terrier  dog 
Todge,  1st  in  the  open  class  at  the  last  Pacific  Kennel  Club 
show.  

Mr.  Ray  Meade  has  purchased  of  Wm.  Dormer  the  well- 
known,  black  pointer  Old  Black  Joe  II,  the  field  trial 
winner.  

The  English  Fox  Terrier  Club  have  decided  to  issue  Vol. 
V.  of  the  Fox  Terrier  Stud  Book.  Hugh  Dalziel  will  com- 
pile it.  

The  Stockton  fanciers  will  meet  in  a  few  days  and  organize 
the  talked-of  kennel  club.  The  show  will  be  held  during  the 
Stockton  Fair,  under  A.  K.  C.  rules,and  will  be  judged  by  an 
Eastern  j  udge.  

Seven  of  the  members  of  the  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club  have 
already  signified  their  intention  of  entering  their  bitches  in 
the  Produce  Stakes.  The  idea  is  a  very  commendable  one 
and  should  be  encouraged. 

A  fox  terrier  no  doubt  saved  the  lives  of  a  family  named 
Cunningham  in  Boston  recently.  The  house  caught  on  fire 
and  was  burning  briskly  when  the  dog,  by  jumping  on  the 
bed  awakened  the  occupants  and  they  had  just  ttme  to  seize 
the  children  and  get  out. 

Mr.  F.  M.  Black  introduced  us  on  Monday  last  to  one  of 
the  best  dachshund  bitches  that  we  have  seen  on  the  Coast. 
She  is  tan  in  color  and  of  excellent  length  aud  crook,  low  and 
with  good  head,  neck,  back  and  loin.  She  will  be  shown  at 
Los  Angeles,  and  we  will  be  surprised  if  she  does  not  come 
near  carrying  off  a  blue  ribbon.  She  was  imported  from  Ger- 
many quite  recently.         

At  a  recent  meeting  of  the  Canadian  Kennel  Club,  Dr. 
Wesley  Mills  and  Mr.  Nichols  of  Chicago,  were  requested  to 
give  the  club  an  explanation  of  the  Melac-Minerva  Fawn  case 
reported  in  the  Toronto  Mail  of  January  19th.  Mills  replied 
in  the  February  issue  of  the  Canadian  Kennel  Club.  Nichols 
has  not  yet  been  heard  from. 

The  charges  preferred  against  Mr.  Henry  Huber  by  Dr.  A. 
T.  Regensburger  will  be  taken  up  shortly.  As  the  charges 
are  almost  identical  with  the  former  ones  we  fail  to  see  how 
the  case  can  be  reopened.  Legally  they  cannot  be.  A  man 
once  tried  and  proven  innocent  cannot  again  be  tried  for  the 
same  offense.  We  fancy  that  Mr.  Huber  will  be  able  to  clear 
his  skirts,  but  if  guilty  the  world  should  know  it. 

The  handlers  are  making  up  their  "strings"  for  Los  An- 
geles, and  the  prospect  is  that  they  will  take  to  the  Southern 
show  full  twice  as  many  dogs  as  last  year.  Thomas  Higgs,  H. 
McCracken  and  L.  L.  Campbell  are  open  to  engagements  in 
this  line.  We  can  recommend  them  as  conscientious,  careful 
handlers.  Mr.  Campbell  has  had  the  most  experience  in  this 
line,  but  the  others  are  well  known  owners  and  breeders,  and 
no  one  should  hesitate  to  senrl  their  dogs  in  their  charge. 

Mr.  H.  B.  Donovan,  editor  ot  Lhe  Canadian  Kennel  Gazette, 
writes  in  the  February  issue  of  his  paper  as  follows :  Mr  F. 
H.  F.  Mercer,  through  his  lawyers,  takes  exception  to  a  letter 
over  the  non  de  plume  of  "  Mount  Royal "  printed  in  the  Ga- 
zette of  June,  1892,  claiming  that  statements  contained  there- 
in are  grossly  libellous  on  him.  As  we  have  said  before  we 
have  no  desire  whatever  to  appear  unjust  or  unfair  to  Mr. 
Mercer  and  if  certain  remarks  iu  the  letter  referred  to  are 
libellous,  we  freely  retract  and  apologize  for  their  insertion. 

The  specialty  show  in  connection  with  an  exhibit  of  farm- 
ing implements,  etc.,  to  be  given  under  the  auspices  of  the 
Hempstead  Farm  Co.  at  the  Madison  Square  Garden  in  the 
early  part  of  May  promises  to  be  an  interesting  event.  The 
St.  Bernard,  Collie  and  Spaniel  clubs  are  making  great  efforts 
to  insure  a  success.  The  judges  will  be  chosen  by  ballot  by 
members  of  the  different  clubs.  Mr.  Oldham  received  the 
vote  of  the  Spaniel  Club,  and  will  officiate.  The  other  judges 
'  have  not  yet  been  decided  upon.  The  company  guarantees 
the  prize  money  which  will  be,  we  are  informed,  the  same  as 
given  by  the  W  K  C,  the  specialty  club  merely  supplying  the 
judges. — Forest  and  Stream. 

The  judges  at  Philadelphia  will  be  for  mastiffs,  Great 
Danes,  bloodhounds,  fox  terriers  (smooth'and  wire-haired) 
and  miscellaneous,  James  Mortimer;  St.  Lernards,  New- 
foundlands, poodles,  bulldogs,  bull-terriers,  black  and  tan 
terriers,  Irish,  Scottish,  Dandy  Dinmont,  Skye  and  York- 
shire terriers  and  Italian  greyhounds,  C  H  Mason  ;  grey- 
hounds, deerhounds  and  Russian  wolfhounds,  H  W  Smith  ; 
.  pointers,  Chas  Heath  ;  English  setter,  F  G  Taylor;  Irish  and 
Gordon  setters,  American  and  English  foxhounds,  Dr.  H 
Clay  Glover;  collies  and  pugs,  Dr.  L  C  Sauveur;  spaniels 
and  Chesapeake  Bay  dogs,  E  M  Oldham ;  Beagles  and 
Dachshund,  A  C  Krueger. 

In  last  Saturday's  Call  there  appeared  an  answer  to  an 
inquiry  regarding  the  qualities  of  the  Chesapeake  Bay  dog 
that  does  the  breed  a  great  injustice.  The  writer  claimed 
that  the  Chesapeake  was  not  adapted  to  this  climate.  Such 
is  not  the  case.  We  know  of  several,  in  fact  we  know  of  all 
that  are  in  this  portion  of  the  country  and  quite  a  number  of 
them  we  see  frequently  and  have  shot  over.  There  is  no 
better  retreiver  extant.  Their  coats  are  almost  impervious 
to  water  and  they  are  the  hardiest  dogs  in  California.  There 
are  plenty  of  good  retreivers  but  none  of  them  surpass  the 
Chesapeade  for  a  good  hard  days  work  on  the  marsh  or  in 
the  tules. 


For  the  first  time  since  its  inauguration  in  1890  the  Inter- 
state meeting  ended  in  a  divide.  This  was  a  great  disap- 
pointment to  all  the  leashmen  as  it  left  the  question  of 
superiority  entirely  in  doubt,  as  three  at  least  of  the  five  that 
divided  were  looked  upon  as  great  greyhounds  and  especially 
the  owners  of  Long  John,  Skyrocket  and  Wee  Lassie  who  had 
their  favorites  in  great  condition — a  thing  that  is  not  often 
possible  in  training  dogs,  and  may  not  be  reached  again  for 
months. 

The  grounds  of  the  park  were  in  beautiful  order  and  the 
day  was  all  that  could  possibly  be  desired,  but  the  failure  of 
the  club  in  not  having  a  sufficiency  of  game  spoilt  all 
other  conditions  and  dissatisfaction  was  the  result. 

In  the  first  part  of  the  day  the  trials  were  fine,  equal  to 
anything  hitherto  seen  in  Newark  and  great  was  the  excite- 
ment of  the  crowd,  which  by  the  way,  if  anything,  was 
larger  than  that  of  the  previous  Sunday,  during  the  running 
in  the  afternoon  the  hares  became  very  scarce  and  many  of 
those  found  in  the  field  were  of  little  account  and  Judge 
Grace  very  properly  refused  to  give  decisions  in  many  of  the 
trials  obtained.  It  was  then  that  the  officers  of  the  club 
came  in  for  some  sharp  criticism,  and  especially  was  this  the 
case  among  those  who  kept  their  dogs  in  training  during  the 
week  for  the  Consolation  stake  at  considerable  expense. 
Mistakes  and  disappointments  will  happen,  of  course,  to  the 
most  careful,  but  such  a  one  as  this  no  club  can  afford  to  com- 
mit a  second  time,  hence  it  is  hoped  that  the  San  Francisco 
Club,  which  has  done  hitherto  so  well,  will  not  again  be 
caught  napping. 

The  sport  commenced  with  Depend  On  Me  and  White 
Cl;>ud.  The  latter  got  the  best  of  the  run  up,  and  then  com- 
mended as  fine  a  piece  of  work  at  coursing  as  was  ever  seen,  but 
try  as  he  would  Depend  On  Me  could  not  drive  out  the  bitch, 
though  the  black  and  white  made  some  great  efforts,  but  the 
Cloud  outdid  him  all  around. 

Shortstop  uu'3  John  Mitchell  had  a  pretty  run  to  the  hare, 
Mitchell  holding  his  own  well  up  to  the  time  the  hare  favored 
Shortstop,  who  ran  in,  killed  and  won. 

Skyrocket  and  Jack  Dempsey  had  a  great  course.  The 
former  evidently  was  determined  to  retrieve  the  laurels  he 
lost  a  month  ago  with  Jack.  He  finally  turned  the  tables 
completely  by  giving  him  a  drubbing. 

Barney  F.  and  Maggie  M.  had  a  great  spin  to  a  flying  hare, 
Barney  having  the  best  of  it  up  to  the  game.  Both  dogs 
worked  cleverly,  but  Barney  evidently  won  a  great  course, 
with  a  little  to  spare. 

Wee  Lassie  had  a  short  run  with  Mary  Ann.  The  former 
outpaced  her  to  the  hare,and  after  one  or  two  turns  killed  and 
won. 

Gile  simply  ran  away  from  Dusty  Bob,  winning  easily. 
Dashaway  ran  a  bye  with  Flashlight  and  he  went  out  a 
favorite  at  4  to  l,but  on  being  slipped  the  latter  flew  out  from 
slips  in  splendid  style  and  led  Dashaway  two  lengths  to  the 
hare  and  after  a  good  run  took  the  turns  and  drove  for  two  or 
three  sharp  points  before  bis  opponent  got  in.  Then  Dash- 
away went  to  work  with  a  will,  and  after  some  clever  work 
by  both  dogs  the  latter  outworked  the  former  and  got  the 
verdict.     It  was  a  very  fine  course. 

In  the  third  round  the  Lass  beat  Regent  with  comparative 
ease. 

Long  John  and  Occidental  had  a  good  course,  but  John 
was  too  much  for  him  and  won. 

Fearless  beat  Garryowen  in  a  canter. 
White    Cloud    beat  Shortstop  in  a  comparatively  short 
course,  though  he  had  the  run-up  by  about  a  head. 

Skyrocket  and  Barney  F.  were  sent  after  a  fairish  good 
hare,  but  the  old  dog  was  in  great  form  and  as  full  of  vim  as 
ever.  He  seemed  to  be  flying  from  slips  like  a  bullet,  and 
good  and  fast  a  dog  as  Barney  F.  is  he  could  not  pace  it  with 
the  Santa  Clara  wonder.  He  drove  for  the  game  two  lengths 
to  the  good  of  his  opponent,  and  turned  puss  to  the  fence, 
where  Barney  shot  in,  but  Rocket  shouldered  him  off,  turned 
and  killed,  and  of  course  won. 

Wee  Lassie,  too,  ran  in  fine  form  during  the  day,  and  in 
this  trial  gave  that  very  fast  dog,  Dashaway,  a  taste  of  what 
she  can  do  when  brought  fit  to  the  slips.  She  beat  him  all 
round. 

Gile  ran  a  bye  with  Twilight,  who  beat  him  well  in  a  nice 
course. 

Long  John  and  Gare  were  looked  upon  as  about  equal, 
as  both  dogs  ran  all  their  courses  in  great  style.  John  beat 
him  in  the  run-up  clearly  by  a  length  and  Gare  killed  and 
lost. 

Fearless  and  White  Cloud  had  two  nndecideds,  and  then 
were  sent  to  the  kennels  to  rest. 

Skyrocket  beat  Gile  in  a  decided  manner  after  a  nice  trial, 
and  thus  the  second  of  the  Sacramento  dogs  felJ.  Wee  Las- 
sie ran  a  bye.  Another  hare  could  not  bb  found  in  the  field, 
so  the  stake — first  and  second  money — was  divided  between 
Skyrocket,  Wee  Lassie,  Fearless.  White  Cloud  and  Long 
John,  $39 .50  each,  and  Gile  and  Gare  took  $15  each;  Of 
course  White  Cloud  and  Fearless  were  not  entitled  to  as 
much  of  the  stakes  as  Long  John,  Wee  Lassie  and  Sky- 
rocket, but  the  owners  of  these  dogs  desired  that  the  stake 
should  be  divided  equally  as  it  was  no  fault  of  the  owners 
that  a  hare  could  not  be  found  for  their  course. 
The  following  is  the  result  of  the  running: 
First  round — J  Cranslon's  Marvelous  a  bye,  J  Perrigo's

tal, Fearless  beat  Garryowen,  White  Cloud  heat  Shortstop,

Fourth  round — Long  John  beat  Gare,  Fearless  and  Wfiite 
Cloud  undecided,  Skyrocket  beat  Gile,  Wee  Lassie  ran  a  bye. 
Stake  divided. 

Before  leaving  the  park  Mr.  Curtis  announced  that  Sky- 
rocket's career  on  the  coursing  field  was  ended  as  he  would 
not  again  appear  in  public.  The  great  dog  was  cheered  as 
he  passed  out  of  the  gate  by  the  crowd,  and  he  well  deserved 
the  compliment,  for  it  is  very  questionable  if  there  ever  was 
as  great  a  dog  in  America. 


Heard  in  This  Office. 


"Should  the  American  Kennel  Club  disband,  the  effect  to 
Eastern  exhibitors  would  not  be  more  demoralizing  than  has 
been  the  recent  action  of  the  half-hearted  officers  of  the  Pacific 
Kennel  Club,  upon  the  kennel  interests  of  this  Coast." 

"The  Pacific  Kennel  Club,  with  over  100  members  and 
$800  in  the  treasury,  are  afraid  to  undertake  what  the  old 
California  Club  made  a  success  of,  with  less  than  half  that 
number  of  paying  members  and  about  $90  in  the  treasury." 

"  What  is  the  good  of  sending  East  for  dogs,  and  paying  big 
prices  for  them  and  bigger  express  charges,  when  you  can't 
show  them  but  once  in  two  years  ?  " 

"Southern  California  will  hold  a  show  with  but  a  fraction 
of  the  sum  of  money  in  the  treasury  that  the  Pacifies  have 
accumulated.  With  less  than  one-fifth  of  the  population  to 
draw  from,  and  with  greater  expenses  (proportionally)  to 
meet.    A  sad  comment  on  San  Francisco  enterprise." 

"  Any  man  that  will  refuse  to  send  his  dogs  to  Los  Angeles 
and  support  a  club  that  has  'sand,'  deserves  to  be  drummed 
out  of  town." 

"After  the  miserable  fiasco  of  the  officers  of  the  PaciSc 
Kennel  Club,  the  f  grit'  of  our  Los  Angeles  friends  in  decid- 
ing to  hold  a  show  is  refreshing." 

"The  majority  generally  rules,  but  this  is  a  case  where  the 
majority  got  left." 

[The  above  quotations  are  not  only  the  popular  opinion  as 
expressed  in  this  office,  but  are  cold  facts.  It  has  often  been 
asked  :  "  If  the  members  wan  ted  a  show  so  bad,  why  did  not 
they  attend  the  February  meeting?"  Had  the  secretary 
written  on  his  postals  announcing  the  meeting,  that  the  ques- 
tion of  abandoning  the  show  would  come  before  the  meeting 
there  would  have  been  a  large  attendance.  The  club  mem- 
bers thought  that  the  holding  of  a  show  was  in  the  bands  of 
competent  men,  and  knew  of  no  business  that  could  possibly 
come  before  the  club  at  that  time.  If  there  ever  was  any 
excuse  for  not  attending  a  meeting  it  was  at  that  particular 
time. 

The  writer  was  one  of  three  that  reorganized  the  Pacific 
Kennel  Club  and  put  it  on  its  feet.  There  is  not  one  member 
of'the  club  that  is  more  interested  in  the  welfare  of  the  club 
than  the  writer.  We  do  not  wish  to  injure  its  prospects  in 
any  way,  but  the  fact  remains  that  the  club  have  made  a  great 
mistake,  and  our  right  to  criticise  its  action  is  unquestioned.

The  Fox    Terrier   Club. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Fox  Terrier 
Club,  held  on  Tuesday  evening  last  at  the  office  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman,  brought  out,  as  usnal,  a  good  at- 
tendance. Vice-President  Joseph  McLatchie  occupied  the 
chair.  After  the  usual  routine  of  business  the  Committee  on 
Cups  reported,  and  were  instructed  to  purchase  three  solid 
silver  cups  not  to  exceed  $30  in  value  for  presentation  at  Los 
Angeles.  A  motion  was  made  by  George  W.  Debenham  and 
seconded  by  H.  W.  Fores  that  the  engraving  of  the  fox  ter- 
rier D'Orsay,  the  property  of  the  club,  be  placed  in  the  club- 
room.     Carried. 

Messrs.  Baumgartnerand  Bain  resigned  as  active  members, 
and  were,  by  unanimous  vote,  elected  as  honorary  members. 

Mr.  H.  W.  Fores  was  elected  President  vice  Mr.  Baum- 
gartner,  resigned. 

After  considerable  discussion,  the  Produce  Stakes  for 
smooth  fox  terriers  for  1895  was  made  a  fixture,  and  the  rules 
of  the  American  Fox  Terrier  Club  governing  same  were 
adopted  with  very  slight  changes.  The  first  division  is  foe 
puppies  born  between  January  1,  1S94,  and  May  1, 1S94,  and 
the  second  division  tor  puppies  born  between  May  1,  1894, 
and  November  1,  1894.  The  entries  to  the  first  division 
close  April  10th.  The  forfeit  is  $1.00,  entry  $4  additional 
for  each  litter  or  part  of  litter. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Martin  announced  that  the  Stockton  dog  men 
contemplated  organizing  a  kennel  club  at  once,  and  lhe  club 
immediately  passed  a  resolution  that  the  club  individually 
and  collectively  support  the  Stockton  show  if  held  under 
A.  K.  C.  rules. 

It  was  announced  that  all  members  of  the  club  that  wish 
to  compete  for  the  club's  specials  at  Los  Angeles  must  pay 
their  back  dues  on  or  before  April  10th.  The  advisability 
of  holding  a  specialty  show  was  discussed  at  some  length, 
but  action  was  deferred  until  the  next  meeting. 

The  Stud  Dog  Stakes  aud  Sweepstakes  have  been  aban- 
doned on  account  of  the  failure  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club 
to  hold  a  show  this  year.  In  the  opinion  of  the  club  the  in- 
comprehensible action  of  the  Kennel  Club  should  be  con- 
demned by  every  true  lover  of  the  dog.  The  last  year's 
show  did  more  to  boom  thoroughbred  dogs  than  all  previous 
shows.  The  representative  men  at  the  head  of  it  gave  the 
fancv  that  tone  of  respectability  that  it  needed,  and  the  pub- 
lic gained  confidence.  On  the  contrary,  the  present  action 
has  done  more  damage  to  kennel  interests  than  can  be  un- 
done in  five  years. 

Columbia  Kennel  Club. 


At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Columbia  Kennel  Club  it  was 
decided  to  hold  a  bench  show  on  May  16-20.  As  the  Pacific 
Kennel  Club  has  decided  not  to  hold  a  (how  this  year,  we 
advise  the  Northern  club  to  take  their  dates,  and  then  should 
the  Los  Angeles  Club  get  out  an  Eastern  judge,  the  expense 
to  them  would  be  greatly  reduced,  also  a  good  many  of  the 
dogs  would  doubtless  go  right  from  one  show  to  the  othe'*.

A  "Western  Kennel  Club. 


We  are  pleased  to  see  that  the  Northwest  Sportsman  ap- 
proves of  our  article  on  the  subject  of  a  governing  body  of 
fanciers  west  of  the  Rockies.  We  believe  that  in  the  end  this 
must  be  accomplished.  We  do  not  wish  to  be  misunderstood 
in  this  matter,  however.  We  are  strongly  opposed  to  an 
opposition  club.  This  coast  should  ba  governed  by  its  own 
representatives,  resident  members  who  understand  the  wants 
of  the  clubs  that  are  organized  and  may  be  organized  on  this 
coast,  but  the  American  Kennel  Club  should  govern  the 
whole. 

This  looks  at  first  like  a  very  diriijull  problem, but  in  real- 
itv  it  is  not.  We  have  a  precedent  in  the  Canadian  Kennel 
Club.  The  same  rules  govern  both  the  Canadian  and  Ameri- 
can clubs,  but  the  Canadian  governs  itself.  The  awards  and 
disqualifications  of  the  Canadian  Kennel  Club  are  recognized 
by  the  American  and 
*  This  same  plan  should  be  carried  out  on  this  coast.  In  the 
end  it  must  be  so  and  until  it  is  so,  kennel  interests  on  this 
coast  will  sutler,  progress  will  be  nipped  in  the  bud  and  we 
cannot  expect  to  do  more  than  we  have  done— under  the 
present  rules  of  the  A.  K.  C  we  are  bound  to  recede.

the  log  was  found  to  be  full  of  foxes,  and  as  one  would  come 
in  tired,  a  fresh  one  would  take  his  place,  thus  beating  the 
hunters  at  their  own  game. 

I  regret  exceedingly  that,  after  thorough  and  prolonged  in- 
vestigation, I  have  not  been  able  to  discover  the  locality  of 
this  occurrence,  or  the  names  of  those  who  participated  in  it, 
as  in  the  other  instances  related.  But  I  observe  that  it  illus- 
trates very  forcibly  the  wonderful  sagacity  of  the  fox  when 
pressed  by  the  hounds  and  urged  on  by  the  great  law  of  self- 
preservation. — Richmond  Dispatch.

Los  Angeles   Show. 


San  Francisco  fanciers  will  support  the  Los  Angeles  show 
in  a  body.  Present  indications  are  that  not  less  thon  100  en- 
tries will  be  sent  from  this  section.  Mr.  H.  W.  Lacy,  kennel 
editor  of  Forest  and  Stream,  had  been  asked  to  judge,  nut  as 
satisfactory  arrangements  could  not  be  made,  he  will  not  come 
to  the  Coast  this  year,  .lames  Mortimer  is  engaged  as  super- 
intendent of  the  Model  Farm  and  Specialty  Club  shows  at 
Madison  .Square  Garden.  John  Davidson  and  J.  Otis  Fellows 
are  engaged  at  Boston  on  same  dates  ;  consequently,  as  all  of 
the  "all  round  "  Eastern  judges  are  out  of  the  question,  the 
club  has  decided  to  use  local  judges.  We  will  announce 
them  next  week. 

Virginia  Fox  Tales. 


The  late  Capt.  William  H.  Hannah  stated  that  on  one  oc- 
casion he  was  in  pursuit  of  a  fox,  with  his  friend  and  neighbor, 
Radford  Wheeler,  when  the  fox,  being  hard  pressed  by  the 
dogs,  took  a  public  road,  and  after  running  some  distance  the 
dogs  suddenly  lost  the  track.  All  efforts  to  get  it  again  by  cir- 
cling around  failed,  and  the  hunters  dismounted  and  followed 
the  track  of  the  fox  along  the  road  until  it  disappeared  and 
could  not  be  found  again.  They  were  compelled  to  give  up 
the  chase  and  return  home. 

Some  time  afterward  a  man  who  was  going  to  Lynchburg 
that  same  day  with  a  wagon  told  Capt.  Hannah  that  when  he 
stopped  to  feed  his  horses  at  dinner  and  went  around  to  get 
his  feed  box,  which  hung  at  the  rear  of  the  wagon,  a  fox 
jumped  out  of  it ;  and,  as  the  dogs  had  lost  the  fox  just  as  they 
came  up  with  the  wagon,  there  was  no  doubt  that  tie  had 
saved  himself  by  jumping  in  the  box  and  riding  to  a  place  of 
security. 

Mr.  John  Hancock,  a  very  worthy  and  reliable  gentleman, 
who  lives  near  Prospect,  Va.,  states  that  on  one  occasion  he 
and  a  friend  followed  a  pack  of  hounds  in  pursuit  of  a  fox  un- 
til they  reached  a  pine  ihicket.  Remaining  outside  the 
thicket  for  a  while,  they  were  surprised  to  see  the  hounds  come 
up  in  full  chase,  when  no  fox  had  passed  since  they  had  been 
there,  and  the  scent  was  evidently  very  hot  from  the  way  the 
Joga  was  running.  This  was  the  more  puzzling  from  the 
fact  that  a  favorite  hound,  old  "Jack,"  who  was  never  known 
to  follow  a  false  trail  or  take  a  "back  track,"  and^who  knew 
more  about  the  ways  of  a  fox  than  the  fox  knew  himself,  was 
with  the  pack.  They  remained  quietly  seated  on  their  horses 
and  after  a  while  the  hounds  came  around  again  in  full  tilt, 
when  no  fox  had  passed.  The  mystery  was  explained,  how- 
ever, when  they  saw  old  "Jack"  spring  over  the  backs  of 
two  bounds  and  catch  the  fox,  who  had  been  running  with  the 
hounds  and  had  hitherto  escaped  their  notice. 

Mr.  Joe  Edmunds,  of  Charlotte,  made  a  number  of  ineffec- 
tual altempu  to  capture  a  red  fox  that  always  managed  to 
bitlle  his  hound-*  and  throw  them  otl  the  track.  He  finally 
discovered  that  the  fox  would  run  ahead  and  come  around  in 
rear  of  thb  dog- —a  trick  which  gave  him  ample  time  to 
doubleon  his  tract  and  throw  the  dogs  off  the  scent.  He  ef- 
fected his  capt. ire  by  tying  a  hound  and  keeping  him  with 
him  and  putting  him  after  the  fox  as  he  came  around. 

But  the  last  instance  of  the  cunning  of  the  fox,  which  is 
now  given  is  the  most  remarkable  of  all. 

A  gentleman  who  had  a  brag  pack  of  hounds  found  a  fox 
who  was  too  lough  for  them.  He  would  invariably  tire  the 
hounds  out,  and  compel  them  to  give  up  the  chase.  The 
gentleman  resorted  to  this  expedient  to  make  sure  of  his 
capture'  He  engaged  two  of  his  friends  to  bring  in  fresh 
packs  on  a  certain  day  to  take  the  place  of  those  that  were 
tired  out,  and  h  pick  Dp  the  fox.  But  the  scheme  didn't  work. 
The  fox  broke  all  three  packs  down,  and  was  then  apparently 
as  fresh  and  lively  U  at  the  start. 

By  the  merest  accident,  one  of  the  gentlemen  engaged  in 
the  chase  discovered  the  trick  by  which  this  extraordinary 
feat  of  endurance  was  accomplished.  He  noticed  that  the 
fox,  in  making  r.  round,  ran  into  a  large  hollow  log  in  the 
woods,  and  cauu     it  at  the  lower  end.     I'pon  examination, 


The  regular  meeting  of  the  American  Fox  Terrier  Club 
was  duly  held  |at  Madison  Square  Garden  at  4:30  p.  m.  on 
Wednesday,  February  21,  and  after  the  regular  routine  busi- 
ness the  following  board  of  governors  was  elected  for  the 
ensuing  year :  Messrs.  August  Belmont,  W.  Rutherford, 
Hollis  Honnewell,  Clarence  Eathbone,  John  E.  Thayer  and 
H.  W.  Smith. 

At  a  business  meeting  held  immediately  after  the  above 
the  following  new  members  were  unanimously  elected:  Geo. 
Hendrie.  Geo.  M.  Hendrie,  W.  H.  Muir,  G-  M.  Carnochen, 
R.  F.  Mavhew,  Dr.  H.  T.  Foote  and  Dr.  G.  B.  D.  Darby. 
John  E.  Thayer  was  then  elected  president ;  August  Belmont, 
vice-president,  and  H.  W.  Smith,  secretary-treasurer. 

At  the  regular  meeting  it  was  voted  that  in  addition  to  the 
Grand  Challenge  Cup  (value  $300)  the  Secretary  be  empow- 
ered to  make  collections  for  four  challenge  cups  to  be  given 
for  the  Apollo,  Homebred,  Tomboy  and  Stud  Dog  Stakes,  and 
that  after  suitable  money  is  raised,  these  cups  and  the  Grand 
Challenge  Cup  in  a  suitable  case,  should,  at  the  wisdom  of 
the  Board  of  Governors,  be  sent  around  to  the  various  shows 
where  proper  guarantee  could  be  obtained,  in  order  that  the 
different  fox  terrier  breeders  throughout  the  country  would 
have  an  opportunity  of  seeing  what  stakes,  etc.,  could  be  won 
bv  their  produce.  The  following  gentlemen  subscribed: 
John  E.Thayer,  $50;  Mollis  Hunniwell,  $50;  H.  W.Smith, 
$50;  Clarence  Rathbone,  $25;  Wayman  S.  Cushman,  $25.

Certificate  of  Breeding. 


ROD- 


Mr.  F.  W.  Whillock,  of  Great  Barrington,  Mass.,  has  in- 
vented a  blank  certificate  of  breeding  that  should  prove  in" 
dispensable  to  breeders  of  dogs  "and  other  animals.  It  is  in 
the  form  of  a  stiff  card  that  folds  in  the  middle  and  can  be 
carried  in  the  pocket  without  further  folding  or  creasing.  It 
is  in  short,  a  certificate  to  be  signed  by  the  owner  of  the  stud 
dog,  certifying  that bitch  was   bred   to dog  at 


place  on  - 


day   and    includes  a  blank   pedigree 


form  in  which  the  pedigree  of  both  dog    and  bitch    must  be 
written. 

Were  such  certificates  as  this  and  the  certificate  of  sale  is- 
sued by  the  American  Kennel  Club  in  more  common  use 
the  public  would  call  for  such  certificates  and  the  oppor- 
tunities for  the  perpetration  of  fraud  would  be  greatly  reduced. 
Mr.  Whitlock  has  applied  for  a  copyright  on  his  form  of  cer- 
tificate and  will  place  them  upon  the  market  at  once.  They 
should  command  a  ready  sale.

The  Fly  Casting  Tournament. 


San  Francisco,  March  14,  1894. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — At  a  meeting  of  the 
Committee  on  Fly  Casting  Tournament  held  Tuesday  evening, 
March  13th,  it  was  decided  to  make  the  style  of  casting  in 
event  No.  5  (Lure  Casting)  double-handed  instead  of  single- 
handed,  as  at  first  proposed. 

On  account  of  the  large  number  of  valuable  merchandise 
prizes  which  have  been  offered,  it  was  determined  to  do  away 
with  silver  and  bronze  medals,  and  the  prizes  are  now  settled 
upon  for  each  of  the  events  will  be  a  gold  medal  as  first 
prize,  and  merchandise  prizes  for  the  second  and  third. 

The  merchandise  prizes  already  donated  are  one  Leonard 
rod,  one  Bristol  steel  rod,  reels,  lines,  flies,  etc. 

The  height  of  the  platform  will  probably  be  raised  to 
eighteen  inches  above  the  surface  of  the  water,  instead  of  one 
foot,  as  origiually  proposed.  In  all  other  respects  the  rules 
will  remain  unchanged. 

The  tournament  will  be  held  iu  the  Midwinter  Fair 
Grounds.  Director-General  De  Young  has  offered  to  make  a 
lake  suitable  for  the  purposes  of  the  tournament  somewhere 
in  the  Recreation  Grouods,  and  has  also  offered  a  handsome 
trophy  to  be  presented  to  the  one  making  the  highest  average 
in  events  1,  2,  3  and  4  (Fly  Casting),  both  of  which  offers 
the  committee  has  accepted. 

A  candidate  for  the  "  trophy  "  must  enter  in  all  of  the 
fly  casting  events,  viz  :  1,  2,  3  and  4. 

The  date  of  the  Angler's  Convention  has  been  fixed  for 
Friday,  May  4th,  at  8  o'clock  p.  m.,  to  be  held  in  Festival 
Hall  at  the  Fair  Grounds. 

It  is  proposed  10  give  a  ''fish  dinner"  on  Saturday  Even- 
ing, May  5th,  at  a  cost  not  to  exceed  $2  per  plate,  to  which 
dinner  all  anglers  and  their  friends  will  be  invited.  Further 
notice  of  same  will  be  given  hereafter. 

Copies  of  the  rules  and  events  will  soon  be  printed  and  for- 
warded, together  with  blank  application  for  entries  to  all 
aDglers  id  the  State  whose  names  are  known  to  the  Com- 
mittee. 

All  who  anticipate  entering  the  tournament  should,  how- 
ever, immediately  forward  name  and  address  to  Walter  D. 
Mansfield,  No.  3  Fine  St.,  San  Francisco. 

The  above  is  a  complete  record  of  the  business  done  at  our 
meeting  on  the  13th.     Yours  truly, 

W.  D.  Mansfield,  Secretary  of  Committee.

A  New  Kind  of  Fish-L adder. 


Protector  McGuire  expects  to  start  in  a  few  days  on  a  tour 
of  inspection  of  Eastern  Oregon  dams.  Numerous  complaints 
have  been  filed  with  him  recently  by  fishermen  in  that  sec- 
tion of  the  State.  The  dam  at  Orodell,  owned  by  Mr.  Snod- 
grass,  is  said  to  be  particularly  destructive  to  fishing  interests. 
Some  time  ago  the  attention  of  Mr.  Snodgrass  was  called  to 
this  matter  and  he  promised  to  put  in  a  fish-ladder  at  once. 
In  a  recent  letter  a  complainant  states  that  the  ladder  put  in 
the  Orodell  dam  consists  of  a  log,  upon  which  a  number  of 
strips  of  board  have  been  nailed.  One  end  of  the  log  rests 
upou  the  crest  of  the  dam  and  the  other  in  the  stream  below. 
"  It  is  impossible  for  me  to  see,"  adds  the  correspondent, 
"  how  fish  are  to  get  over  the  dam  unless  they  are  athletic 
enough  to  climb  a  slippery  pole." — Oregonian. 


E.  T.  Allen  Co.,  the  popular  sportiog  goods  dealers  at  416 
Market  St.,  have  just  received  a  complete  assortment  of  new 
flies.  Among  the  very  best  are  some  natural  wing  Caddis, 
natural  wing  Inimitable  May  and  Governors,  that  are  superb 
in  workmanship  and  should  prove  very  killing.  The  new 
Perfect  trout  hooks  that  we  recently  noted  in  these  colums 
have  arrived  and  a  large  number  have  been  sold  already.  They 
are  especially  strong  above  the  barb,  are  made  of  heavy  wire 
and  are  absolutely  rust  proof.  All  of  their  eyed  flies  are  lied 
this  year  on  rust  proof  hooks  (bronzed.)  The  abolone  spoon 
is  as  popular  as  ever,  they  have  had  a  great  many  calls  for 
them  already.  Their  assortment  of  rods  is  unsurpassed  ;  one 
can  purchase  a  split  bamboo  rod  with  an  extra  tip,  with  form, 
for  $2.50  and  from  that  price  up  to  $50.  Their  novelties  in 
the  fishing  line  are  too  numerous  to  mention. 


The  interest  in  the  coming  fly-casting  tournament  continues 
to  increase.  The  expert  and  wo'jld  be  expert  fly  casters  are 
practicing  on  every  available  lawn.  The  Reno  Club,  the 
Creel  Club,  of  Los  Angeles,  the  Sierra  Nevada  Sportsmeu's 
Club  and  several  others  have  signified  their  intention.of  send- 
ing representatives.  That  the  events  will  all  have  many  en- 
tries goes  without  saying.  The  tournament  is  in  good  hands, 
and  its  success  is  a  foregone  conclusion. 


Fresno  county  anglers  are  lamenting  their  own  lack  ef  en- 
terprise in  not  securing  an  appropriation  of  trout  fry  from 
the  Fish  ComniUsion.  Fresno  County,  with  its  hundreds  of 
miles  of  suitable  streams  for  trout,  is  said  to  be  nearly  desti- 
tute of  them.  A  fishing  club,  it  is  said,  will  soon  be  orga- 
nized in  Fresno  and  an  effort  made  to  stock  the  various  moun- 
tain streams  of  that  county. 


The  elaborate  display  of  tish  models  which  was  at  Chicago 
has  arrived  at  the  Midwinter  Fair  and  will  be  installed  at 
once  in  the  Horticultural  and  Agricultural  bui'ding.  This 
display  is  said  to  be  very  typical  of  Pacific  Coast  fishes.  It 
was  collected  by  the  State  Fish  Commission  with  the  assist- 
ance of  the  Stanford  University. 


The  new  hatchery  at  the  mouth  of  Knowles  Creek  on  the 
Unipqua  River,  Oregon,  has  been  completed  and  everything 
is  in  readiness  for  the  opening  of  the  season.  The  hatchery 
as  it  now  stands,  has  a  capacity  of  about  4,000,000  eggs  an- 
nually, but  this  can  easily  be  doubled  at  any  time  at  a  slight 
expense. 

Quite  a  number  of  small  steel  heads  have  been  caught  dur- 
ing the  week  at  Point  Reyes.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


\-v 


FORTY-NINTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MARCH   14. 

OKG  shots  won  the  first  two  races,  and 
then  the  favorites  held  on  the  rest 
of  the  day.  It  was,  however,  a  very 
fair  afternoon's  work  for  most  of  the 
liencilers.  The  first  winner,  Annie 
Buckingham,  was  not  played  to  an 
extent  worth  mentioning,  for  her 
price  steadily  receded  from  7tol  to 
15  to  1.  Annie  Moore,  however, 
was  played  pretty  well.  The  money 
that  went  in  on  the  chances  of  Guard 
and  Joe  Cotton,  though,  must  have 
put  the  bookies  in  deep  clover,  so 
far  as  this  race  was  concerned.  J.  H.  Shields,  the  Denver 
tnrfman,  won  two  races  this  afternoon  with  Hy  Dy  and 
Melanie  respectively.  The  track  looked  fast,  but  the  time 
made  does  not  compare  favorably  with  that  of  the  preceding 
day.  There  was  an  interesting  struggle  in  every  race,  the 
entry -list  was  a  long  one,  and  the  large  crowd  present  greatly 
appreciated  the  racing. 

Annie  Buckingham,  a  15  to  1  shot,  got  away  well  in  the 
first  race,  went  to  the  front  at  once,  and  was  not  headed,  win- 
ningquite  easily  by  half  a  length  from  the  favorite,  Jennie 
Deane.  who  beat  Vandalieht  about  a  length. 

Fred  Parker  led  Annie  Moore  by  several  lengths  around  to 
the  homestretch.  The  mare  headed  Zeke  Abrahams' '"  find  " 
about  a  furlong  from  home,  and  won  cleverly  by  a  length 
with  Fred  Parker  second,  as  far  from  Normandie.  Guard  and 
Jce  Cotton,  the  favorites,  ran  poorly. 

Seville  led  to  the  straight  by  a  small  margin,  with  Artist 
second.  Hy  Dy  began  moving  up  about  three  furlongs  from 
home,  and  got  up  in  the  last  couple  of  strides  and  won  by  a 
neck  from  Artist,  who  was  two  lengths  from  Hotspur,  on 
whom  Seville  was  lapped. 

Melanie  also  from  Shields'  stable,  opened  up  at  5  to  1,  but 
a  ton  or  so  of  money  going  in,  she  went  to  the  post  a  decided 
favoiite.  Peril  led  tbe  procession  to  the  straight,  where 
elanie,  who  had  been  second  throughout,  came  up  and  won 
;ily  by  two  lengths.  Zenobia  came  again  at  the  end  and 
,t  fiomair  a  nose  in  the  last  stride  for  the  place.  A  neck 
behind  Romair  was  Peril.  Gladiola  fell  near  the  half-pole, 
throwing  Chevalier,  who  was  stunned,  but  not  injured  much. 
Bed  Cloud,  the  favorite,  was  cursed  roundly  in  at  least  a 
dozen  languages  in  the  last  race  for  his  bad  actions,  but  finally, 
after  over  half  an  hour's  delay,  a  good  start  was  effected. 
He  was  slightly  in  the  rear,  but  was  first  by  four  lengths  at 
le  quarter.  Though  he  came  back  a  bit  nearing  the  home- 
tch  he  lasted  well  enough  to  win  by  a  length  from  the 
well-played  Guadaloupe,  who  was  as  far  from  Wyanashott. 

E.  Jones,  C.  Weber,  Irving,  Carr  and  Bishop  were  the 
winning  jockeys  to-day.

Red  Cloud,  the  unruly,  was  a  well-played  favorite  in  the 
last  event,  a  hurdle  race  of  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth  over  four 
obstacles.  Guadaloupe  was  a  strong  second  choice.  The  odds 
at  the  close  were  :  Red  Cloud,  9  to  5  ;  Guadaloupe,  24  to  1 ; 
Zampost,  4  to  1 ;  Prince  Idle,  6  ;  Cascade,  Green  Hock  and 
Wyanashott,  20  to  1  each  ;  Auteuil,  60  to  1.  Red  Cloud 
nearly  drove  the  assemblage  into  fits  with  his  bad  actions. 
He  would  run  up  and  nearly  throw  Bishop  off  by  bumping 
him  against  the  fence,  and  then  was  hard  and  slow  to  get 
back  to  the  post.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  very  fair  send-off. 
Passing  the  stand  Wyanashott,  Prince  Idle  and  Guadaloupe 
were  necks  apart  as  named.  Guadaloupe  led  after  the  first 
jump  for  about  a  sixteenth,  then  Red  Cloud  assumed  the  lead: 
He  was  four  lengths  in  front  of  Guadaloupe  at  the  quarter, 
Wyanashott  third.  There  was  little  change  worth  mention- 
ing until  nearing  the  homestretch,  when  Red  Cloud  lost  a 
little  ground.  He  was  first  over  the  final  jump  by  three 
lengths,  however,  and  won  handily  enough  by  a  length  from 
Guadaloupe,  who  was  as  far  from  Wyanashott,  he  a  head 
from  Zampost.  The  time,  1:594,  was  festj  with  150  pounds  up. 

FIFTIETH  DAT — THURSDAY,  MARCH  15. 

With  perfect  weather  and  a  perfect  track,  that  there  was 
some  grand  racing  to-day  was  rather  to  be  expected.  The 
fields  were  large  and  the  contestants  of  excellent  quality,  mak- 
ing speculation  lively  in  the  extreme.  Three  favorites  were 
beaten,  and  as  plunges  were  made  by  sucb  men  as  Schreiber 
and  Grannan  and  their  good  things  did  not  come  to  the  front, 
the  books  must  have  quit  many  dollars  to  the  good.  The 
hardest  plays  were  on  El  Tirano,  Evanatus  and  Ragner,  and 
not  one  of  these  won.  Bill  Howard  showed  that  he  was  just 
a  trifle  short  of  work  the  other  day  when  he  led  to  the  home- 
stretch and  "  blew  up."  To-day  he  beat  a  better  field  and 
led  from "eend  to  eend."  The  successful  jockeys  were  W. 
Clancy,  Irving,  C.  Weber,  Carr  and  Madison. 

Model  was  the  favorite  in  the  first  race,  and  got  away  first. 
Lady  Jane  soon  took  up  the  running,  and  led  to  the  final 
turn.  Claudie  who  was  close  up  at  the  point,  came  to  the 
front  in  the  straight,  and  won  easily  from  the  fast-coming 
Model,  who  beat  El  Tirano  two  lengths.  Silver  was  fairly 
flying  at  the  end,  and  was  but  a  head  behind  El  Tirano. 

EI  Reno,  the  favorite,  led  all  the  way  in  the  second,  and 
won  in  a  gallop  by  three  lengths  from  Vandalight,  who  got 
away  rather  poorly.  Inferno  was  third,  half  a  length  further 
away. 

Imp.  Piccolo  led  by  several  lengths  in  the  third  event  up 
to  the  last  two  strides,  when  Vassal,  a  grand-looking  brown 
colt  from  the  Corrigan  stable,  got  up  and  won  by  a  neck, with 
Ja  Ja  a  fair  third.  Vassal  was  at  8  to  1  at  the  close,  and  a 
big  winning  was  made  by  those  knowing  his  capabilities. 
The  grandson  of  Longfellow  ran  in  record  time,  1:12J,  and 
beat  a  good  field. 

Thelma  was  an  easy  winner.  Getting  away  third,  she  was 
soon  in  front,  and  was  not  thereafter  headed.  Fortuna  came 
from  fourth  place  in  the  homestretch  and  snatchedthe  place 
from  Romulus  by  a  neck. 

Bill  Howard,  at  one  time  6  to  1  in  the  betting,  led  all  the 
way  in  the  last  race,  and  won  by  a  length  from  Ragner,  the 
favorite,  who  got  away  over  two  lengths  behind  Howard. 
Alarey  was  a  good  third.

Model,  at  2\  to  1,  was  the  favorite  in  the  first  race,  half  a

down  from  6,  Ada  Reese  colt  S,  Lady  Jane  and  Silver  10  to 
1,  the  others  from  12  to  100  to  1.  To  a  good  start  the  order 
was  Model,  Claudie,  Lady  Jane,  El  Tirano.  Model  led  by 
about  a  sixteenth  of  a  mile,  when  Lady  Jane  headed  her  and 
El  Tirano  moved  up  close.  Lady  Jane,  El  Tirano,  Claudie, 
Ada  Reese  colt,  necks  apart,  was  the  order  at  the  final  turn, 
and  they  ran  close  together  until  a  furlong  from  home,  when 
Claudie  came  out  and  won  handily  by  half  a  length  from 
Model,  who  was  coming  very  fast  at  the  end.  Two  lengths 
away,  third,  was  El  Tirano,  who  just  beat  Silver  a  head  for 
the  show.     Time,  0:50J.

El  Reno  was  at  all  times  a  warm  favorite  in  the  second  race, 
about  six  furlongs,  selling.  Inferno  was  at  2  to  1,  Vanda- 
light 11  to  5,  Little  Tough  10  to  1,  imp.  San  Jacinto  50t

half  a  length  from  Little  Tough,  he  as  far  from  Vandalight 
The  latter  gradually  went  around  her  field,  except  El  Reno 
who  led  him  into  the  stretch,  by  two  lengths,  Vandalight 
second,  a  neck  from  Little  Tough.  El  Reno  was  not  headed, 
and  won  with  great  ease  by  three  lengths,  while  in  a  whipping 
finish  Vandalight  got  the  place  naif  a  length  in  front  of  In- 
ferno. Little  Tough  was  fourth.  Time,  1:13} — a  fast  run 
with  the  weight.  Dan  McCarty  ran  El  Reno  np  to  $905,  but 
Dow  Williams  kept  him  at  that  figure.  This  was  $100  over 
his  entered  selling  price.

and  led  three  lengths  at  the  half-pole,  Conde,  Ja  Ja  and  Vas- 
sal close  together.  The  latter  soon  ran  rings  around  Conde 
and  Ja  Ja,  and  was  second,  three  lengths  behind  Piccolo  at 
the  final  turn.  Piccolo's  jockey  went  to  work  on  his  mount 
hard  when  they  were  straightened  out,  as  lUtle  Weber  did  on 
Vassal.  Gradually  Vassal  crawled  up.  Fifty  yards  from  the

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONTACTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 

The  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacini;  Association.— 
Whatever  doubts  there  may  have  been  in  regard  to  a  home 
institution  for  the  government  of  trotting  and  pacing  on  this 
side  of  the  light  harness  horse  world,  these  were  dispelled  by 
the  action  of  the  convention  which  met  on  the  7th  inst.  Quite 
true  that  the  membership  will  be  small  in  comparison  with 
kindred  associations  located  in  the  East,  but  with  a  good  out- 
look for  as  large  a  membership  as  the  National  started  out 
with.  Still,  a  lone  list  of  names  in  the  roll  of  membership, 
gratifying  as  it  is  from  a  pecuniary  standpoint,  is  far  from 
being  a  necessity,  and  it  may  be  that  restricted  membership 
will  be  advantageous  in  some  respects,  if  even  it  entails  a 
more  rigid  economy  than  is  agreeable. 

With  all  of  the  associations  which  are  embraced  in  the 
territory  which  naturally  trends  in  this  direction,  expenses 
can  be  met  on  a  fairly  liberal  scale  ;  in  fact,  at  the  cost  which 
has  hitherto  been  incurred  there  will  be  ample  funds  to  do 
the  business  in  a  way  that  cannot  fail  to  be  more  satisfactory, 
from  every  point  of  view,  than  when  under  the  old  dispensa- 
tion. 

The  history  of  this,  the  latest  convention,  is  very  different 
from  that  of  the  National  and  American,  different  motives  to 
govern,  though  equally  as  forcible.  The  National  was  organ- 
ized to  aflbrd  mutual  protection  and  better  government  of 
track  sports.  At  that  time  there  was  no  reciprocity  or  courtesy 
shown  by  one  club  to  another,  and,  consequently,  punishment 
was  alone  effectual  on  the  ground  where  it  was  incurred.  The 
American  came  from  the  dissatisfaction  which  was  widely 
spread  over  the  management  of  the  National,  especially  the 
secretary's  work.  The  older  body  refused  to  correct  practices 
which  were  condemned  until  the  later  organization  was  per- 
fected, and  for  years  thereafter  refused  to  recognize  that  insti- 
tution, while  in  reality  it  was  the  most  powerful.  Politic  in 
some  respects,  in  others  unwise ;  its  policy  gave  it  territory 
which  would  have  been  more  economically  served  by  the 
American,  and  with  other  advantages,  among  which  was  con- 
tiguity. That  both  organizations  have  been  beneficial  to  the 
interests  of  breeders  and  owners  of  light  harness  horses  is 
bevond  question,  the  reformation  which  was  promised  by  the 
American,  and  that  fulfilled,  compelled  the  other  to  follow. 
The  advantages  which  came  from  having  two  governing 
bodies  preclude  the  idea  of  consolidation  further  than  now 
exists,  viz.,  mutual  recognition  of  penalties  inflicted  outside 
of  delinquences  for  entrance  money.  The  main  argument  in 
favor  of  organizing  an  association  on  this  side  of  the  continent 
was  the  great  distance  from  the  governing  power.  That  and 
other  pleas  have  been  presented  in  former  numbers  of  this 
paper  so  that  there  is  no  necessity  for  repeating,  but  to  show 
how  much  stronger  they  might  have  been  it  will  be  well  to 
review  some  of  the  arguments  on  the  opposite  side.  Feeling 
that  if  the  project  fell  through  that  it  would  be  more  to  the 
interests  of  this  section  to  hold  membership  in  the  American 
than  the  National  I  sent  a  personal  invitation  to  Mr. 
Steiner,  secretary  of  the  American,  to  be  present,  at  the  same 
time  informing  him  that  I  would  do  all  in  my  power  to  secure 
the  success  of  the  proposed  home  institution. 
The  second  vice-president  of  the  National,  Hon.  F. 
L.  Coombs,  and  both  of  the  California  members  of 
the  National  Board  of  Appeals  for  the  Pacific  Coast, 
Hon.  Jessie  D.  Carr  and  Captain  N.  T.  Smith  were 
present.  Mr.  Steiner  and  Mr.  Coombs  argued  from  about  the 
same  standpoint  that  the  work  could  not  be  done  for  the 
amount  paid  by  the  associations,  and  to  prove  that  Mr. 
Steiner  read  a  statement  from  the  treasurer  of  the  National 
which  showed  that  notwithstanding  that  association  had 
seventy-five  per  cent  of  the  members  in  California  more  had 
been  paid  than  was  received.  As  the  debit  side  included  a 
payment  of  $-"»00  to  a  member  of  the  Board  for  his  attend- 
ance, $150  for  the  expenses  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Board  of 
Appeals,  it  substantiated  the  plea  that  it  was  an  expensive 
method  of  doing  the  business.  Both  of  the  gentlemen  men- 
tioned. Messrs.  Steiner  and  Coombs,  treated  the  question  with 
the  utmost  fairness,  and  both  very  kindly  promised  that  if 
the  new  society  should  be  organized  they  would  use  all  their 
influence  to  obtain  recognition  from  their  associations. 

I  have  not  a  word  of  fault  to  find  with  the  statements 
made  by  Messrs.  Steiner  and  Coombs  if  they  were  contrary  to 
my  belief,  but  there  were  others  presented  in  the  shape  of 
telegrams  from  the  president  of  the  National,  P.  P.  Johnston 
Esq.,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  which  could  not  be  classed  as  favor- 
ably, and  pleas  which  ifsubstantiallv  founded  were  aspersions 
on  the  character  of  the  people  of  this  section.  President 
Johnson,  in  a  long  telegram  to  Hon.  Jesse  D.  Carr,  claimed 
that  the  proposed  organization  would  lower  the  price  of 
horses,  and  this  was  so  strikingly  absurd  that  it  could  only  be 
accounted  lor  on  the  assumption  that  the  president  of  the 
National  held  that  the  intelligence  of  the  people  he  addressed 
was  limited  indeed.  Another  telegram  to  Captain  N.  T. 
Smith  was  to  the  effect  that  the  dues  of  members  of  the  first 
class  had  been  reduced  one  third.  That  was  evidently  done 
to  cut  off  the  advantages  which  the  American  possessed  in 
the  way  of  economy,  and  the  object  too  palpable  to  mislead 
anyone.  If,  as  claimed,  it  was  on  account  of  the  "  hard 
times,"  the  reduction  should  be  all  through  the  list  as  "  first- 
class"  associations  aresuppotied  to  he  better  able  to  siand  the 
assessment  than  the  smaller. 

Then  it  was  urged  that  should  the  organization  be  per- 
fected we  could  not  protect  ourselves  from  a  hoard  of  rascals 
under  the  ban  of  Eastern  associations,  and  that  penalties  in- 
flicted would  be  powerles*  elsewhere.  r  infer  tin-  Government 
or  the  National  there  was  no  protection,  inasmuch  as  expul- 
sions for  aggravated  offenses  could  he  condoned  on  the  pay- 
ment  of  fines. 

It  te  needles*  to  present  the  latest  case  iu  which  the  supreme 
power  was  used  to  defeat  justice  as  it  is  ho  well  known  thai 
further  agitation  is  unnecessary  and  unless  forced  again  into 
the  ixsue  will  not  be  presented.  Mul  as  one  of  the  committee 
on  By-Laws  and  Rules  I  will  use  all  my  influence  to  have 
embodied  in  the  code  a  statute  that  when  expulsion  has  been 
decreed  for  "throwing  a  race"  the  penalty  cannot  be  removed 
by  the  payment  of  a  line,  and  in  I  his  way  give  the  poor  of- 
fender the  same  chance  as  the  rich  culprit. 

By  f/ir  the  greatest  drawback  to  the  sporls  of  the  track  is 
the  laxity  in  enforcing  the  lavs  against  fraudulent  practices 
though  it  may  be  termed  a  still  heavier  load  to  carrv  is  that 


which  the  highest  tribunal  imposes  when  expulsion  is  re- 
moved and  a  fine  substituted.  Were  that  power  taken  away 
theu  it  could  not  be  charged  that  the  welfare  of  the  sport  was 
made  subservient  to  the  treasury,  a  premium  offered  to  those 
who  had  the  means  to  make  a  big  enough  winning  to  pay  a 
big  fine.  This  is  not  a  new  stand  for  me  to  take.  When  a 
man  was  expelled  a  good  many  years  ago  for  gross  fraud, and 
that  changed  by  the  Board  of  A  ppeals  to  a  fine  of  one  thous- 
and dollars,  I  entered  a  protect  as  vigorously  as  I  could  find 
words  to  express,  and  shall  continue  the  war  as  long  as  I  can 
speak  a  word  or  write  a  sentence. 

There  was  immense  gratification  to  me  that  the  vote  was 
practically  unanimous.  The  dissenting  voices  were  members 
of  the  Pacific  Board  of  the  N.  T.  A.  and  it  would  have  been 
expecting  too  much  for  them  to  assent  to  a  curtailment  of  the 
field  occupied  by  their  association.  But  in  reply  to  notices 
sent  prior  to  the  convention  one  of  those  represented  signified, 
through  its  secretary,  acquiescence  in  the  movement,  though 
it  may  be  that  the  delegate  who  turned  over  his  credentials 
had  later  instructions. 

Whatever  the  opinions  may  have  been  heretofore, now  that 
the  Occidental  is  fairly  under  way, I  sincerely  hope  that  every- 
one who  has  an  honest  feeling  of  pride  in  the  country  he 
lives  in  will  do  all  tbat  is  proper  for  him  to  do  to  sustain  the 
home  institution.  There  need  not  be  any  misgivings  over 
the  future  of  the  uew  association,  and  though  assistance  at 
the  outset  will  be  doubly  valuable,  without  other  aid  than 
that  of  the  associations  which  voted  in  favor  of  its  establish- 
ment the  work  will  be  done  and  well  done.  It  is  quite  true 
that  those  who  do  the  work  will  have  to  be  satisfied  with 
small  recompense  until  the  time  comes  when  every  track  in 
this  section  of  the  country  will  hold  membership  in  the 
Occidental,  though  that  cannot  be  long  delayed  and  I  have 
scarcely  any  hesitation  in  predicting  that  after  it  is  fairly 
demonstrated  that  the  new  instiution  is  on  stable  grounds 
that  support  will  be  cheerfully  rendered. 

There  was  one  point  in  the  proceedings  of  the  convention 
which  was  a  token  of  there  being  harmonious  action  in  the 
not  very  far-off  future.  Mr.  Neal  proposed  changing  the 
proposed  name  of  the  Pacific  Trotting  and  Pacing  Associa- 
tion into  Pacific  Coast  etc.  Captain  Smith  amended  by 
christening  it  Occidental  and  this  was  accepted  without  a 
dissenting  voice.  Captain  Smith  had  been  so  determined  in 
his  opposition  to  the  movement,  that  it  was  an  agreeable 
surprise  to  me  that  after  the  organization  was  e  flee  ted  he 
should  show  so  much  interest  as  to  desire  a  more  appropri- 
ate name  than  either  of  the  others  proposed,  and  was  an 
augury  tbat  the  new  government  would  receive  the  support 
of  those  who  had  taken  a  prominent  position  iu  the  ranks  of 
the  opposition.  That  is  all  the  most  ardent  advocates  of 
home  government  desire.  If  given  a  fair  trial,  and  that 
trial  proves  that  it  is  inferior  in  any  respect  to  holding  mem- 
bership in  the  eastern  associations  that  will  be  sufficient  to 
return  to  the  old  system.  But  should  there  be  antagonisms, 
attempts  to  injure  in  place  of  offering  encouragement  it  will 
take  time  to  accomplish  what  should  have  been  effected  at 
the  outset 

Apart  from  the  interest  shown  by  representatives  from  the 
various  associations,  "horse  folk1'  are  so  much  in  favor  of 
having  their  business  transacted  at  home,  that  so  far  as  I 
have  heard  opinions  expressed,  there  has  not  been  a  single 
individual  on  the  other  side.  This  is  the  class  which  is  most 
deeply  interested.  Owners,  drivers  and  breeders  have  all  at 
stake,  and  though,  of  course,  their  interests  cannot  be  segre- 
gated from  associations  which  take  the  risk  of  offering 
premiums  for  trotting  and  pacing  it  is  of  equal  importance 
that  the  "protection"  afforded  shall  not  discriminate  in  favor 
of  either.  ■         * 

As  to  the  personal  of  the  Board  of  Directors  it  is  surely  sat- 
isfactory to  the  mass  of  people  who  are  interested,  though 
there  is  a  probability  of  additions  being  made  after  the 
Constitution  and  By-Laws  come  into  effect.  The  eight 
gentlemen  chosen  were  present  at  the  meeting  and  it  was 
thought  inadvisable  to  elect  people  who  were  away,  until 
communicated  with.  Asa  member  of  the  committee  I  will 
favor  the  same  number  of  directors  as  hold  office  in  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trot  ting-Horse  Breeders  Association,  fifteen, 
so  that  all  parts  of  the  country  will  be  represented.  This 
has  been  found  advantageous  in  that  society  and  those  who 
thought  that  a  board  of  that  size  would  prove  unwieldy 
have  changed  their  views.  By  restricting  the  quorum  to 
five  there  is  little  danger  ofbusiness  being  delayed,  while  in 
many  instances  there  has  been  so  full  an  attendance  that  two- 
thirds  of  the  whole  Dumber  were  present,  and  at  the  last 
session  of  the  Board  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  there  were  twelve 
With  fifteen  representatives  of  the  Association  selected  from 
diflerent  sections  of  the  territory  embraced,  it  is  within 
hounds  to  say  that  all  points  where  meetings  are  held  will  be 
under  surveillance  and  that  far  more  satisfactory  and  effec- 
tive than  the  Eastern  plan  of  appointing  detectives  to  watch 
the  proceedings.  Concealed  espionage  is  hardly  proper  in 
this  kind  of  business,  while  the  presence  of  a  well  known  and 
prominent  individual  is  an  assistant  as  well  as  a  guard.  My 
associates  on  the  committee  may  not  agree  with  me  on  this 
point  aud  therefore  it  may  be  premature  to  argue  on  it  be- 
fore it  is  brought  up,  but  whether  with  the  present  Board  or 
one  enlarged  to  the  proportion  suggested,  the  working  will 
be  satisfactory. 

There  is  one  feature,  however,  which  is  not  out  of  place 
that  being  the  secretaryship.  The  American  and  National 
have  the  services  of  men  who  have  enjoyed  long  experience 
in  conducting  the  affairs  of  the  Association.  Mr.  Steiner  has 
held  the  position  ever  since  the  organization  of  The  Ameri- 
can ;  Mr.  Morse  nearly  as  long  in  the  otlice  of  The  National 
Both  have  shown  exceptional  ability,  and  it  may  appear 
somewhat  rash  to  claim  that  a  new  man  can  "  fill  the  bill  ' 
anything  like  as  satisfactorily.  And  vet  1  have  not  the  least 
hesitation  in  taking  that  stand,  having  been  in  a  position  to 
become  thoroughly  acquainted  with  Mr.  K  el  ley  and  his 
methods  of  doing  business,  and  have  also  been  so  long  "  in 
touch  "  with  horse  and  track  affairs  as  to  feel  competent  to 
judge,  and  therefore  will  enter  into  any  bond,  within  my  ca- 
pacity, to  guarantee  that  that  part  of  the  work  will  be  execu- 
ted in  the  best  manner.  And  that  without  regard  to  the 
emoluments,  for,  as  .stated  before,  it  will  be  useless 
to  endeavor  to  render  abortive  the  action 
of  the  convention  by  withholding  membership 
and  inducing  others  to  stand  aloof.  It  is  scarcely  probable 
that  such  action  is  contemplated,  as  there  can  be  little  gain 
to  anyone  here, while  if  successful  it  could  only  result  in  there 
being  a  great  deal  of  work  done  for  very  little  remunera- 
tion at  the  outset,  and  I  cannot  believe  that  people  of  stand- 
ing sufficient  to  give  their  advice  any  weight  will  do  so,  al- 
though there  are  a  few  of  contrary  belief. 

There  was  such  a  general  consensus  of  opinion  in  favor  of 


the  organization  from  associations  not  represented  at  the  cor 

vention  that  it  can  scarcely  be  possible  that  after  signifyini 

approval  of  the  proposed   scheme   that  when    orgaoizatioi 

was  accomplished  there  should  be  a  change.     I  merely  refe1 

to  it  in  this  connection  from  the  question  having  been  raisec 

and  to  quiet  the  apprehensions  of  those  who  are  prone  to  se> 

bug-a-boos  and  listen  to  every  tale  Dame  Rumor  brings. 

The  Occidental  is  happily  named  and  fairly  started.     A 

the  name  signifies  there  is  no  desire  to  interfere   with    terri 

Lories  which  are  tributary  to  the    Eastern   Associations  fron> 

being  located  on  the  Oriental   side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains 

but  surely  every  fair-minded  man  will  concede  that   all  oi< 

the  Occidental  side  should  support  the  liome  institution.

Tape  Line  and  Callipers. — After  a  great  deal  of  prac 
tice,  and  commensurate  study,  a  professor  in  San  FranciBC- 
hasdeveloped  a  theory  of  sufficient  importance  as  to  warran. 
making  it  the  base  of  m^ny  lectures  to  other  teachers.  3 
may  be  said  to  have  passed  the  first  ordeal  with  eclat,  an< 
though  yet  in  the  tentative  stage,  has  been  already  demon 
strated  to  give  quite  an  insight  into  the  character  of  thos 
experimented  upon.  The  main  tests  are  measurements  o 
the  head,  and  the  relative  proportions  are  taken  as  an  indi 
cation  of  natural  qualities,  mental  and  physical.  There  ar 
other  guide  boards  beside  those  the  cranium  presents,  thougl 
the  main  dependence  is  placed  upon  the  "done  of  thought 
to  direct  the  observer  aright.  There  was  a  man  in  Chicago 
who  had  still  more  faith  in  determining  trotting  capacity  b 
the  tape-line,  and  in  a  book  which  he  wrote  his  views  were  die 
played  with  a  good  deal  of  force.  There  can  be,  however,  littl 
chance  to  arrive  at  infallible  conclusions  from  outside  meas 
urements  in  determining  physical  powers  of  horses  at  th 
natural  fast  method  of  progression  the  flying  gallop,  fa 
more  difficult  to  judge  of  inherent  adaptability  to  acquir 
fast-trotting  action.  It  might  appear  plausible  to  suppos 
that  certain  formation  governed  action,  and  the  author  men 
tioned  supposed  that  he  had  settled  the  question  and  that  th 
length  of  the  cannon  bones  induced  high  or  low  action.  I 
might  be  so  far  true  tbat  a  particular  formation  of  that  por 
tion  of  the  anatomy  had  an  influence,  but  when  one  sees 
horse  at  the  commencement  of  his  education  with  a  lot 
daisy-cutting  stride  develope,  as  his  education  progressed,  intc 
perhaps,  an  exuberant  bending  of  the  knee  mentality  mus 
be  credited  with  the  major  part  of  the  transformation. 

The  "trot  is  all  in  the  head,"  is  the  claim  of  one  school 
and  there  is  no  question  that  a  good  deal  of  it  is  due  to  thi 
brain,  that  is,  the  trot  which  can  be  scheduled  as  fast.  Bu 
configuration  has  also  an  important  part  to  perform,  or  a 
least,  something  more  than  the  desire  to  trot  fast  to  secun 
one  with  the  ability  to  accomplish  his  wishes. 

I  have  a  capital  illustration  of  the  truth  of  this  hypothe 
thesis,  a  horse  which  is  as  anxious  to  trot  fast  as  a  boy  ti 
acquire  the  reputation  of  a  good  dancer,  but  try  as  he  will 
it  seems,  to  be  as  far  beyond  his  reach  as  terpsichorean  re 
nown  is  from  many  students  who  use  every  endeavor  to  mas 
ter  the  art.  A  well-shaped  horse  withal  will  "  fill  the  n: 
ure"  in  very  many  ways,  but  a  little  inside  of  a  three-nun 
ute  gait  is  the  best  he  can  do  after  all  his  efforts  and  trials  o 
various  plans  to  remedy  the  most  palpable  defect,  viz.,  to- 
short  a  stride.  By  the  way,  one  of  the  most  intricate  prob 
lems  for  me  to  solve,  in  the  way  of  educating  trotters,  is  to 
remedy  shortness  of  stride  when  the  training  has  been  con 
tinued  sufficiently  long  to  overcome  the  defect,  if  it  can  b 
overcome,  and  then  to  arrive  at  the  reasons  for  failure.

It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  us

A  meeting  of  the  stockholders  of  the  Louisville  Jocke; 
Club  was  held  in  that  city,  last  Tuesday,  and  its  lease  o 
Churchill  Downs  was  renewed  for  three  years  with  an  optioi 
for  three  years  longer.  Its  present  ten-year  lease  expires  oi 
the  1st  of  June  next,  according  to  the  terms  of  which  th 
club  has  an  option  on  the  Downs,  the  price  to  be  fixed  b; 
arbitration  six  months  preceding  the  expiration.  About; 
week  ago  a  representative  of  Mr.  Churchill  and  Col.  Clarl 
selected  a  third  arbitrator,  and  the  three  agreed  upon  a  prie 
of  $1,662.50  an  acre,  or  about  $150,000  in  all.  As  the  Jocke; 
Club  was  not  in  a  positiou  to  close  its  option  and  purchasi 
the  property  at  present,  Mr.  Churchill  offered  to  extend  o 
renew  the  lease  for  three  years  with  a  privilege  of  a  furthe 
renewal  of  three  years,  at  which  time  tbe  Jockey  Club  ma1 
be  able  to  negotiate  for  the  property  at  a  valuation  to  be  fixe< 
at  that  time.  This  proposition  from  Mr.  Churchill  was  pre 
sented  at  a  meeting  of  the  stockholders  of  the  club  and  wa 
accepted,  after  which  the  meeting  adjourned  until  next  Thes

At  the  Oakland  Track. 


The  weather  last  Monday  at  Oakland  was  all  that  could  be 
desired  by  the  most  enthusiastic  Caiifornian.  The  hills  and 
mountains  back  of  the  city  of  oaks  were  sbowiDg  their 
emerald  sides  while  the  6elds  of  grain,  pasture  lands  and  the 
budding  trees  in  the  orchards  added  a  Spring-like  appearance 
to  the  picture  that  was  not  to  be  forgotten. 

The  only  track  in  the  vicinity  of  San  Francisco  that  is  fit 
for  the  trainers  of  trotters,  is  on  the  "Oakland  side"  of  the 
bay,  and  as  a  number  of  applications  for  stalls  for  the  coming 
trotters  were  sent  in  recently  to  the  manager  of  this  course, 
a  visit  to  it  might  prove  of  interest  to  the  horsemen. 

Early  in  the  morning  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson  can  be  seen  be- 
hind one  of  his  young  trotters,  and  no  one  at  the  track  can 
handle  a  horse  better  than  he.  For  his  years,  he  is  a  remark- 
ably preserved  man,  and  to  the  perfect  health  which  he  en- 
joys, is  not  his  love  and  his  enjoyment  of  good  horses  to  be 
attributed?  Besides  Mr.  Simpson,  there  are  several  other 
Oaklanders  who  delight  to  hold  the  lines  over  their  trotters 
and  pacers  on  this  smooth  track  early  these  fine  mornings. 

There  are  a  few  professional  trainers  at  present  at  the  tracK, 
some  of  them  having  very  good  material  to  begin  this  year's 
racing  with.  James  Nolan,  the  young  man  who  took  charge 
of  Bonnie  Scotland,  the  famous  thoroughbred,  many  years 
ago,  but  of  late  has  been  identified  with  trotting,  is  training 
a  string  of  good  ones  belonging  to  Adolph  Spreckles  of  San 
Francisco.  In  the  first  stall  is  the  horse  Prince  Dexter,  2:19, 
of  the  gamest  sons  of  Dexter  Prince.  Everyone  who  attended 
the  races  at  the  Breeders  meeting  last  fall  will  remember  his 
race  with  Belle  Medium,  Fallacy,  Hera,  Chas.  James  and  Pet, 
and  then  the  same  week  meeting  Dubec,  C.  W.  S.  and  Lustre. 
He  got  his  mark  of  2:19  in  the  second  heat  of  this  race  and 
wae  second  in  the  fourth  and  fifth  heats  in  2:21^  and  2:19J. 
He  was  then  sent  to  Lodi  and  his  hind  leg  having  shown 
signs  of  weakness  it  was  fired  and  blistered,  but  to-day  it  is 
better  than  a  number  of  so-called  sound  ones. 

Chloe,  2:23i,  by  Dexter  Prince  was  the  next  inspected. 
She  has  taken  on  flesh,  yet  she  looks  as  "  hard  as  nails,"  and 
will  be  right  up  >n  the  first  row  in  her  races  this  year.  We 
never  saw  a  mare  improve  in  appearance  more  than  this  one. 

A  likely  looking,  sweet-moving  dark  chestnut  pacer  at- 
tracted our  attention;  she  is  also  by  Dexter  Prince,  oat  of  a 
mare  by  Priam;  second  dam  full  sister  to  Venus  (dam  of 
Adonis,  2:11£,  Cupid,  2:18,  etc).  She  is  only  threeyears  old 
and  is  called  Princess  Louise;  if  she  keeps  steady,  she  will 
make  some  of  the  green  side-wheelers  "hustle  a  bit"  to  pass 
her  this  year. 

Index,  by  Dexter  Prince,  out  of  a  mare  by  Abbotsford,  is  a 
big  bay  horse  with  an  irregular  snip.  He  will  enter  the 
charmed  circle  the  first  time  called  upon. 

One  of  the  largest  young  stallions  in  this  row  is  called  Free 
Silver,  and  be,  too,  is  by  Dexter  Prince,  and  his  dam  is  by 
Priam.  He  is  only  three  years  old,  but  trots  like  an  old 
campaigner,  and  will  bear  watching  this  fall. 

Dexter  Thorne,  2:230,  full  brother  to  Chloe,  is  a  fine  look- 
ing pacer.  His  feet  bothered  him  last  year,  but  Mr.  Nolan 
has  them  fit  to  carry  a  2:04  performer  to  the  wire  now.  Dex- 
ter Thorne  is  being  jogged  every  day. 

Senator  L  ,  2:29^,  the  royal-bred  son  of  Dexter  Prince  and 
a  Bayswater  mare,  is  strong  and  lusty -looking,  and  will  be  a 
2:20  performer,  if  nothiog  happens  him.  He  is  bred  to 
break  a  ten-mile  record,  and  as  a  stayer  he  has  already 
achieved  quite  a  local  reputation. 

Mr.  Nolan  has  received  two  Aptos-bred  youngsters  lately, 
and  is  very  proud  *of  them ;  one  is  a  caestnut  by  Prince 
Warwick  (the  Alcona  stallion  0.  A.  Hickok  sold  to  the  Aus- 
tralian Government),  out  of  a  mare  by  Speculation.  This 
youngster  is  hardly  bridlewise,  yet  he  shows  "  the  trot  is 
there."  The  other  is  also  a  chestnut,  but  he  is  by  Aptos 
Wilkes  (brother  to  the  great  Hulda,  2:0So),  out  of  a  mare  by 
Speculation.  He  resembles  Hulda  in  conformation,  and  has 
the  same  driving  powers  as  his  illustrious  aunt.  As  a  trotter 
he  moves  with  a  frictionless  gait  that  is  captivating. 

In  the  adjoining  stalls  A.  L.  Hinds  has  Hera,  2:23', and  Ko- 
diak,  2:31,  but,  on  account  of  an  injury  this  gentleman  re- 
ceived a  few  weeks  ago,  he  has  been  unable  to  do  much  with 
them.  They  look  well,  however,  and  will  be  ready  when  the 
bell  rings  to  give  all  the  horses  in  their  respective  classes  a 
tussle  for  the  money. 

John  Green,  who  is  better  known  to  the  horsemen  of  this 
coast  as  "  Red,"  has  placed  Ameer  in  a  commodious  box-stall 
and  is  giving  him  daily  exercise  on  the  track.  Ameer  is  by 
Prince  Red,  out  of  Ada  F.,  by  Antevolo,  2:19^  ;  second  dam 
Calypso  (dam  of  Ally  Sloper,  2:28),  by  Steinway,  2:25:];  tUird 
dam  Alia  (dam  of  Spartan,  2:24,  and  Cresco,  sire  of  Cres- 
cent, 2:23}-,  and  AUie  Cresco,  2:23}),  by  Almont  33;  fourth 
dam  (the  dam  of  Henderson,  2:27),  by  Brignoli ;  fifth  dam 
by  Cripple  ;  sixth  dam  by  American  Eclipse.  Ameer  is 
heavily  entered  in  the  California  .Stakes,  and  is  a  very  pure- 
gaited  and  promising  trotter.  Before  the  State  Fair  meeting 
commences  he  will  have  a  low  mark.  Ameer  has  just  been 
taken  up,  and,  in  a  week  or  two,  will  look  as  smooth  as  a 
mole.  He  is  as  handsome  as  a  picture,  and  in  disposition 
cannot  be  surpassed.  His  breeding  is  most  fashionable,  and 
a  colt  or  filly  by  this  youngster  will  be  invaluable  as  a  two- 
year-old.    He  is  making  a  season  at  this  course. 

In  the  big  barn  Ed.  Lafferty,  the  driver,  who  piloted  W. 
Wood,  2:074,  during  the  past  two  seasons  through  the  Cali- 
fornia Circuit,  has  the  nucleus  of  one  of  the  greatest  strings 
of  fast  ones  in  California;  Fred  Mason,  2:16,  by  Bob  Mason, 
is  a  sidewheeler  of  the  first  class,  and  one  that  would  attract 
attention  anywhere.  He  is  a  bay  in  color  with  white  mark- 
ing* on  each  side  of  his  back-bone  from  withers  to  croup.  He 
stands  about  sixteen  hands  and  shows  considerable  thorough- 
bred in  bis  makeup,  although  no  thoroughbred  ever  had  bet- 
ter legs,  pasterns  and  feet  than  he.  When  in  motion,  he  car- 
ries his  head  low  and  nose  out  straight  and  attends  strictly  to 
business.  Of  course,  since  his  arrival  here  from  Southern 
California,  no  attempt  has  been  made  to  drive  him  faster 
than  a  four-minute  gait.  When  the  time  comes,  however, 
he  will  be  ready  to  lead  a  good  many  of  the  best  ones  in 
California.     He  is  a  horse  that  suits  us. 

E.  Clawson's  Black  Pearl  is  a  very  low  "  rakish  looking  " 
son  of  Steinway,  2:25^,  that  is  of  the  do-or-die  order,  and 
when  he  gets  through  pacing  in  his  races  this  fall,  his  compe- 
titors will  be  gasping  fur  breath,  for  he  will  make  them  move 
to  catch  him. 

Another  one  in  Ed.  Lafferty's  string,  and  one  that  will  be 
a  credit  to  his  breeding,  is  the  coal-black  stallion  Sable  Stein- 
way, owned  by  A.  H.  Cohen,  of  Alameda.  Sable  Steinway  is 
a  royally- bred  one  :  Sired  by  Steinway,  2:25 J,  out  of  Alger- 
desta,  by  Allandorff  (son  of  Onward  and  Alma  Mater)  ;  sec- 


ond dam  King  Girl,  by  Mambrino  King  (son  of  Mambrino 
Patchen)  ;  third  dam  Leah  (dam  of  Alcaville,  2:29),  by  Blue 
Bull  75;  fourth  dam  by  Tom  Hal,  the  great  pacer.  Sable 
Steinway  is  a  trotter  and  his  gait  is  perfect.  He  will  get  a 
record  very  easily  this  fall  and  Mr.  Lafierty  says  :  •'  He  is 
such  an  active  fellow,  I  believe  Ijcould  also  give  him  alow 
record,  pacing."  His  disposition  is  faultless  and  taking  him 
all  in  all,  he  is  as  fine  a  stallion  as  it  has  been  our  pleasure  to 
see  for  some  time. 

In  the  adjoining 'stall  is  Uncle  Seth,  a  two-year-old  by 
Chfts.  Derby,  2:20,  out  of  Algerdetta  (dam  of  Sable  Steinway) 
by  Allandortf.  but  this  youngster  is  a  pacer  and  one  of  the 
Diablo  kind.     He  will  get  a  record  this  year. 

Mr.  Lafferty  has  made  arrangements  with  several  horse 
owners  to  take  their  colts  and  fillies  when  he  has  a  place  for 
them. 

J.  Corey  has  a  string  of  running  horses  here  which  he  is 
preparing  for  jthe  meeting  at  the  Bay  District  Track.  They 
are  all  sons  and  daughters  of  a.  very  fine  broodmare  called 
Jessie.  She  is  by  Baden  Baden,  out  of  Fun,  by  Thunder. 
Some  of  these  are  sired  by  a  horse  ^called  Greenwich,  he  by 
Princeps,  out  of  a  thoroughbred  mare.  They  belong  to  Chas. 
Durkee  of  Los  Angeles,  and  in  the  lot  are  several  that  will 
not  be  left  back  in  the  ruck  when  passing  the  judges  stand. 
They  are  all  looking  well  and  taking  to  their  work  kindly. 
Jessie  will  be  bred  to  Morello  thij  year. 

J.  H.  Crow  has  Anteeo  Jr.  in  the  old  stall,  which  he  might 
almost  call  his  own.  This  horse  will  appear  on  the  circuit 
this  fall. 

Mr.  Crow  has  not  sent  for  his  horses  yet.  There  are  only  a 
few  here  ;Jone  is  a  six-year-old  gelding  called  Fanturia,  belong- 
ing to  Capt.  Ben  E.  Harris,  that  is  a  promising  pacer. 

Hayes  Valley  Jack  is  the  musical  name  for  a  big,  coarse- 
looking  bay  gelding  that  is  endowed  with  extreme  speed. 

A  two-year-old  bay  filly  by  Prince  Red,  out  of  a  mare  by 
Mt.  Vernon,  belonging  to  Wm.  Foote,  is  a  very  good  young- 
ster, and  is  eligible  for  2:30  honors. 

W.  I.  Higgins  has  a  bay  horse  called  Richland  that  Col.  H. 
I.  Thornton  bred,  and  everyone  knows  he  never  raised  a  poor 
one. 

Erin,  2:25,  by  Dexter  Prince,  has  improved  in  appearance 
and  speed,  and  will  be  ready  when  the  bell  rings. 

Thos.  Manion,  one  of  our  old-time  horsemen,  has  some 
cracking  good  colts  by  Sidney,  Almont  Medium,  The  Grand 
Moor  and  9ilver  Bow ;  having  only  lately  come  to  the  track, 
it  will  be  some  time  before  they  will  be  ready  to  be  given  a 
work-out.  Mr.  Manion  will  have  them  in  perfect  order  and 
fit  for  hard  work  when  necessary. 

Dennis  Gannon  has  recently  moved  from  his  place  in  San 
Clemente,  Marin  county,  to  a  neat  little  home  near  this  track, 
and  is  quite  well  pleased  with  the  way  his  colt  Grover  Clay, 
by  Electioneor,  is  doing.  If  no  accidents  happen,  this  horse 
will  be  another  Electioneer  in  the  list  before  the  beginning  of 
September.  The  track  is  perfect,  notwithstanding  the  heavy 
rains,  and  Ben  Wright  has  been  having  the  teams  harrowing 
and  scraping  its  surface  until  it  is  as  smooth  as  a  billiard 
table.  In  a  month  from  now  every  stall  will  be  filled  with 
trotters  and  pacers,  and  the  light  harness  horse  will  make  the 
wheels  of  the  bike  sulkies  hum.  Arnauee.. 


Some  Royal-Bred  Trotters. 

James  Sutherland,  of  Pleasanton,  the  well-known  trainer 
and  driver,  has  his  race  track  in  splendid  order,  and  is  work- 
ing a  number  of  fine  colts  and  fillies.  Among  them  we 
noticed: 

Delwin,  2:261,  the  three-legged  pacer,  by  Del  Sur,  is  mov- 
ing fast,  and  will  probably  take  a  low  record. 

Guard,  four-year-old,  by  Guide,  2:16',  out  of  a  mare  by 
Hambletonian  KiDg,  second  dam  by  Nephew,  showed  a  trial 
in  2:27}  in  his  three-year-old  form  on  a  half-mile  track,  and 
will  probably  be  seen  on  the  circuit  this  year. 

Hulda,  pacer,  three  years  old,  by  Guide,  dam  Alice  R. 
(dam  of  Redwood,  2:27,  Eva  W.,  2:25]),  by  Naubuc,  showed 
eighths  at  a  two-mile  clip  in  her  two-year-old  form  ;  is  entered 
in  Breeder's  Stakes  for  the  fall  meeting. 

Arthur  S.,  pacer,  two  years  old,  by  Direct,  dam  Nellie,  by 
George  M.  Patchen  Jr.  (dam  of  Delia  S.,  three  years,  2:21), 
is  a  good  one.  Like  all  of  the  get  of  Direct,  be  is  level- 
headed, and  fast  as  a  ghost,  and  when  the  bell  rings  next 
October  just  watch  him  go  out  lor  the  coin. 

A  very  fine  two-year-old  filly  by  Silver  Bow,  dam  Addie 
S.,  by  Steinway,  was  only  broken  to  harness  about  two  months 
ago,  but  is  showing  very  fast. 

A  two-year-old  pacing  colt  by  Dexter  Prince,  dam  by  Sul- 
tan (and  full  brother  to  the  great  Saladin),  bids  fair  to  divide 
the  honors  with  the  best  of  them  from  his  smooth,  frictionless 
way  of  goiog. 

A  black  two-year-old  colt  by  Director,  dam  by  Patchen 
Vernon,  second  dam  Ella  Roy,  also  a  colt  by  the  same  sire, 
dam  by  Antevolo,  are  both  typical  Directors,  and  will  be 
game  and  fast.  Besides  these  are  representatives  of  Victor 
(Hayseed),  Billy  Thornhill,  Redwood  and  Alcantara.  Among 
the  yearlings  are  the  get  of  Diablo,  Sidney,  Nutwood  Wilkes, 
Guide,  Hock  Wilkes,  Cupid,  Chas.  Derby  and  others,  receiv- 
ing their  first  lessons  in  the  way  they  should  go.  Mr.  Suth- 
erland is  one  of  the  most  careful  men  in  the  business. 

Dan  Lawrence,  the  trainer  of  Myers  &  Myers1  horses 
has  a  very  fine  lot  of  young  horses  at  Pleasanton.  and  they, 
like  J.  Sutherland's,  are  looking  splendidly  and  taking  kindly 
to  their  work.  A  number  of  them  will  be  seen  in  the  races 
on  the  California  Circuit  this  year. 

Guycesca,  a  three-year-old  bay  colt  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15}, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Almont  33,  second  dam  Sentinel  (brother 
to  Volunteer),  third  dam  by  Swigert's  Lexington,  fourth  dam 
by  Glencoe.  This  is  as  promising  a  colt  as  ever  was  sired  by 
Guy  Wilkes. 

Stam  B.  is  a  bay  colt  by  Stamboul,  2:07 A,  out  of  Belle 
Medium,  2:20,  by  Happy  Medium,  second  dam  by  Almont 
Lightning,  third  dam  Mary  Adams,  by  Mambrino  Patchen 
58.  This  is  another  crackerjack  and  a  credit  to  his  illustri- 
ous sire  and  dam. 

Red  Nutling,  a  three -year- old  filly  by  Red  Wilkes,  dam 
Nutilla,  by  Nutulla,  by  Nutwood;  third  dam  Hildegard,  by

Electway,  bay  mare,  four  years  old  (full  sister  to  Chas. 
Derby,  2:20  and  Steineer,  2:29]),  by  Steinway,  out  of  Katy 
G.,  by  Electioneer. 

These  and  some  very  finely-bred  yearlings  by  Pancoast, 
Mambrino  Boy,  etc.,  are  looking  very  well,  and  this  year  we 
look  for  the  owners  of  these  horses  to  have  a  number  of  fast 
performers  to  return  to  their  stable  this  fall.  Mr.  Lawrence 
is  working  this  stock  on  the  Pleasanton  track. 


In  speaking  of  Henry  of  Navarre,  a  Lexington  paper  says: 
"  The  plan  now  is  to  start  the  colt  in  the  Garfield  Derby. 
This  will  put  aim  on  an  edge  for  the  big  handicap  at  Brook- 
lyn." It  will  be  news,  indeed,  to  turfmen  to  learn  that  the 
Garfield  Derby,  now  defunct  for  two  years,  has  been  revived, 
and  it  will  also  be  news  to  Mr.  McClelland  to  learn  that  his 
colt  will  start  in  it.  The  American  Derby  was  probably 
meant,  but  unfortunately  Henry  of  Navarre  was  never  entered 
in  that  stake,  but  even  if  he  was  eligible  it  is  rather  difficult 
to  understand  how  a  race  in  the  American  Derby  would  put 
a  horse  on  edge  for  the  Brooklyn  Handicap,  when  the  latter 
event  is  run  some  six  weeks  previous  to  the  former. 

An  amusing  story  of  how  a  small  boy's  innocent  enthusi- 
asm came  near  causing  a  riot  at  the  Madison  track  last  week 
is  thus  described  by  a  St.  Louis  exchange.  Pisano,  with 
Hugh  Penny  up,  was  one  of  the  heavily-backed  choices  in 
the  second  race,  and,  taking  the  lead  at  the  quarter  soon  had 
the  field  at  his  mercy.  Fifty  yards  from  the  wire  he  was  run- 
ning easy,  a  length  and  a  half  from  Bud  Brooks,  with  Sono- 
ma Boy  third,  a  length  back.  Pisano  wore  blinkers.  On 
the  inside  rail  under  the  timers'  stand  sat  a  stable  boy,  who 
had  evidently  bet  on  Pisano.  Just  as  the  horse  neared  him 
the  boy  pulled  off  his  hat  and  began  waving  and  shouting  : 
"  Come  on,  Pisano."  Ten  feet  from  the  finish  Pisano  saiv 
the  hat  and  shied  across  the  track  at  a  right  angle,  crossing 
in  front  of  Bud  Brooks  and  permitting  Sonoma  B  )y  to  come 
up  on  the  inside  and  win,  while  Bud  Brooks  crossed  the  line 
before  Pisano  recovered.  When  Sonoma  Boy's  number  was 
hung  up  there  was  a  wild  rush  toward  the  judges'  stand  and 
shouts  of  "  Highway  robbers !"  "  Thieves !"  "  Pisano  won  !'' 
filled  the  air.  There  was  the  wildest  excitement  for  about 
five  minutes,  which  was  only  quelled  when  the  man  who  was 
shouting  loudest  was  escorted  to  the  gate.  About  fifty  volun- 
tarily accompanied  him  in  his  exit. 


In  the  wild  state  mares  breed  with  almost  absolute  regular- 
ity as  each  breeding  season  follows  the  one  immediately  pre- 
ceding. In  domestication  sterility  is  common  among  about 
twenty  per  cent.,  or  even  more,  of  mares  annually  sent  to 
the  horse.  This  is  attributed  by  F.  V.  Chilchowski,  direct- 
or of  hcrse  breeding  in  Austria,  not  only  to  numerous  dis- 
eases to  which  mares  are  subject  under  artificial  conditions, 
but  also  to  fright,  strange  surroundings,  and  the  brutal  treat- 
ment they  sometimes  receive  from  their  attendants  at  the  time 
of  service — in  fact,  to  mental  impressions  of  a  disagreeable 
character  at  the  most  critical  time.  Thoroughbred  mares 
are  said  to  retain  their  power  of  reproduction  longer  than 
others,  while  thirty  years  is  the  utmost  recorded  age  of  foal- 
getting.  The  before-mentioned  authority,  whose  opinions 
are  translated  In  the  Veterinarian  for  February,  states  a  sin- 
gular fact — i.  e.,  if  it  be  a  fact  at  all — that  when  permanent 
sterility  follows  in  a  mare,  after  having  produced  only  one 
foal  in  her  life,  the  produce  of  that  foal  is  generally  abso- 
lutely sterile.  There  can  be  no  doubt  that  a  tendency  to 
sterility  is  hereditary,  add  frequently  of  a  cumulative  char- 
acter, ending  in  total  inability  to  breed. 


The  well-known  old-timer  Jack  Wynn  was  busy  at  the 
Hoffman  House  on  Saturday,  explaining  to  a  knot  of  friends 
how  "  Billy  "  Lakeland's  horse,  Little  Reb,  had  won  out  a 
whole  programme  down  South,  says  a  writer  in  a  New  York 
exchange.  It  seems  that  one  of  the  party  had  seen  Little  Reb 
win  his  sensational  races  at  Long  Branch  in  1878,  when  at 
Long  odds  he  beat  some  good  handicap  horses  two  races,  at 
which  one  of  the  others  said  that  the  horse  had,  down  South 
one  day,  won  three  races  in  one  day.  A  bet  was  made  and 
left  to  Jack  Wynn  to  decide.  That  gentleman  located  the 
feat.  It  was  on  the  25th  of  February,  1881,  at  the  New  Or- 
leans  Carnival  meeting.  Three  races  formed  the  card  and 
the  track  was  slow.  Little  Web  won  the  opening  event  at 
nine  furlongs,  and  of  the  usual  interval  was  started  in  the  sec- 
ond race  at  mile  heats.  This  he  also  won  in  straight  heats. 
There  was  only  one  other  race  on  the  card,  a  dash  of  a  mile 
and  a  quarter,  and  in  spite  of  his  previous  two  races,  Reb  was 
started  again  and  won  cleverly.  The  boy  Hodges  rode  Reb 
for  Lakeland  in  these  races,  and  the  horse  so  outclassed  his 
frields  that  he  was  favorite  for  each  event.  Little  Reb  was 
then  eight  years  old.  He  was  by  Rebel,  out  of  Virginia,  and 
proved  a  gold  mine  to  William  Lakeland.

Characteristics  of  Western  Jockeys. 


"The  popular  and  successful  jockey  has 
very  fastidious  tastes,"  said  one  of  the  old 
turfmen,  as  he  rested  himself  against  the  mas- 
sive side  wall  at  the  entrance  of  a  big  hotel 
the  other  night,  writes  a  Kentucky  turf  cor- 
respondent. "Take  Isaac  Murphy,  for  in- 
stance. He's  a  champagne  6end.  I  have 
known  him  to  drink  four  quarts  at  a  single 
sitting.  His  love  for  the  sparkling  beverage 
caused  the  only  scandal  he  was  ever  accused 
of  being  connected  with.  It  was  when  Tea 
Tray  beat  Firenzi  and  Murphy  fell  out  of  the 
saddle  after  the  winning  post  was  passed.  His 
enemies  said  be  was  drunk;  his  friends  claimed 
he  was  drugged,  but  if  the  latter  claim  was 
true  he  got  the  dose  in  a  glass  of  champagne. 
Freeman  has  a  weak  stomach,  and  there- 
fore is  forced  by  nature  to  be  particular 
in  what  he  eats  and  drinks.  I  have  seen 
him  after  a  hard  race  vomit  for  a  half 
hour.  Many  people  to  go  through  such  a  nau- 
sea would  be  forced  to  take  to  bed,  but  it  acts 
contrary  with  the  little  Irish  jockey,  who  re- 
covers quickly  from  its  effects.  Freeman  is  a 
wonderful  mimic.  Give  him  a  stick  and  Pat 
Grogan,  the  trainer  of  Ethel  Gray,  stands  be- 
fore you  and  an  instant  later  a  hump  appears 
on  bis  back  and  you  see  old  man  McClelland, 
the  father  of  the  race  of  trainers.  He  is  the 
Richard  Mansfield  of  the  jockevs  of  the  West- 
ern turf.  Harry  Ray  is  one  of  the  dudes  among 
his  fellows,  a  prize  taker  at  walks,  while  Soup 
Perkins  is  in  his  element  with  a  ham  sand- 
wich in  one  hand  and  a  hunk  of  popcorn  in 
the  other. 

"Monk  Overton  is  a  typical  Southerner  ne- 
xro — flat  nose,  thick  lips  and  the  color  of 
ebony.  Jordan  is  the  tramp  of  the  saddle.  Xo 
street  gamin  ever  neglected  his  toilet  more  or 
cared  less  for  the  Broadway  styles  of  the  day. 
A  flannel  shirt,  a  torn  pair  of  pants  a  brim- 
less  hat  a  ragged  coat  are  good  enough  for 
Frankie  Jordan,  but  if  any  body  tells  you  he 
can't  ride  don't  you  believe  it.  'Tiny' Wil- 
liams is  an  every  day  sort  of  chap,  as  is  A. 
Clayton,  but  well-behaved  among  their  super- 
iors and  have  enough  regard  for  their  char- 
acter to  hold  themselves  above  their  inferiors. 
J.  Hill  is  another  well-behaved  boy,  as  is 
Andy  Perk'.nsoD,  who  has  been  in  enough 
accidents  to  have  a  piece  of  himself  in  every 
hospital  in  the  big  cities  where  he  rides.1' 

"  Being  so  familiar  with  Western  jockeys 
you  have  had  a  chance  to  form  an  estimate  of 
America's  greatest  Jiving  rider,  and  who  do 
you  regard  as  our  best  rider  ?  "  asked  a  by- 
stander. 

"  Well,  I  presume  Taral  and  Garrison  are 
at  the  head  of  the  procession,  at  least  indivi- 
duals have  to  look  with  the  masses,  and  that's 
the  way  the  public  goes,  but  with  a  good  stiff 
bet  down  on  his  mount,  Johnny  McCafferty  is 
good  enough  for  me." 


The  general  belief  has  been  that  Green- 
lander,  2:12,  was  still  the  property  of  Augustus 
Sharpe,  of  Louisville.  The  belief  was  natural, 
as  Greenlander  has  been  at  Mr.  Sharpe's  farm, 
and  was,  during  the  early  part  of  the  season, 
handled  there.  Mr.  Sharpe  sold  the  great 
stallion  at  Cleveland  two  years  ago  to  I.  H. 
Odell,  of  Evansville.  for  $10,000.  The  stallion 
is  now  at  Mr.  Odell's  place  in  Evansville, 
where  he  will  make  the  season  of  1894.  The 
knowledge  that  (Ireenlander  belongs  to  Mr. 
Odell  will  be  a  great  surprise  to  those  who 
take  an  interest  in  horses.

H.  Ccstance  has  published  a  volume  of  re- 
miniscences which  will  be  found  by  racing  men 
and  by  all  people  who  know  anything  about 
turf  affairs,  to  be  full  of  inlerest,  and  it  is  a 
very  pleasant  book  to  read.  distance  thor- 
oughly understands  his  subject,  as  he  was  one 
of  the  lending  jockeys  for  more  than  twenty 
years,  and  in  the  course  of  his  successful  and 
creditable  career  he  woh  the  Derby  three 
times,  and  was  unlucky  in  not  having  ridden 
a  fourth  winner  of  that  race.  Owners  and 
trainers  may  gather  some  practical  hints  of 
great  value  from  the  author's  remarks  about 
flying  horses,  which  all  such  people  should 
read,  mark,  learn  and  inwardly  digest.  He  is 
also  admirable  in  his  observations  on  "rogues" 
and,  as  he  truly  asserts,  a  horse  is  often  thus 
described  merely  because  it  is  timid  and  in 
terror  of  the  whip,  distance  considers  that 
Ormonde  was  the  best  horse  he  ever  saw,  and 
that  Gladiateur  should  be  placed  second.  Of 
the  horses  he  rode  himself  (and  he  was  "up" 
on  many  very  good  ones),  he  hesitates  between 
Sterling  and  Thormanby.

2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27},  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
m  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Eoston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ?

St.  SAVIOUR. 

8T.  SAVIOUR  (son  of  Eolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
Is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  oncesecond. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Stakes,  1\>  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  andisix  others;  won  Rarltan  Slakes,  1M  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Ernest-Mlml  colt  and  four  others  in  a  canter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehorse,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eollst  and  Eon.  Eolus,  St.  Savl  ur's  sire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam.  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  five  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  Immortal  Leaming- 
ton, sire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Seosatlon. 
St.  Saviour  has  demonstrated  his  worth  at  the  stud.  SEVRICK 
FEE,  975. 


Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satar.ella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shauk,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-yea-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  fielr!  ol 
fourteen  good  ones;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others  ;  beaten  a  head  for  Members'  Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Thormanby-Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  It  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  In  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.    SERVICE  FEE,  87ft.

The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  aud  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoelug,  galtlng,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  0.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  bands  ot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

•We  Speak  But  Facts" 


It  is  not  natural  for  horses  to  wear 
iron  shoes.  Colts  that  run  in  the  field 
and  horses  whose  work  is  done  princi- 
pally on  soft  ground  do  not  wear  them, 
and  have  good,  sound  feet.  But  mod- 
ern roads  and  hard  pavements  make 
iron  shoes  a  necessity  as  without  them 
the  hoof  would  soon  become  broken 
and  wear  away. 

For  this  reason  it  is  evident  some- 
thing will  have  to  be  used  to  keep  the 
feet  in  a  healthy,  growing  condition 
or  Shelly,  Brittle  and  Contracted  Feet, 
Quarter  Cracks  and  Corns  are  the  in- 
evitable result.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


FIFTY-FIRST  DAY — FRIDAY,    MAECH    1 

OTW1THSTANDING  the  rain  of 
last  night,  the  track  was  simply 
perfect  to-day.  The  raciDg  was 
of  a  high  order  of  excellence.  In 
two  of  the|events  there  were  head- 
and-head  finishes,  and  in  not  a 
single  race  was  there  over  a 
length  separating  the  winner 
from  the  runner-up.  Two  favor- 
ites, two  long  shots  and  a  3  to  1- 
er  captured  the  races,  makiog  the  balance  on  the  right  side 
of  the  pencilers'  ledger.  The  exciting  feature  of  the  day's 
sport  was  the  excellent  showing  of  the  50  to  1  shot,  Prince 
Henry,  and  the  grand  run  made  by  Fly  after  getting  a 
poor  send-off  in  a  field  of  crack  sprinters.  Charley  Weber 
again  rode  in  superb  form,  landine  two  winners  in  Bobolink 
and  Joe  Murphy.  L.  Lloyd  rode  a  grand  finish  on  Braw 
Scot,  winning  by  a  neck  from  Border  Lassie  through  super- 
ior jockey  ship.    Carr  and  Bozeman  also  rode  winners. 

Gasser  got  off  about  two  lengths  in  front  of  his  field  in  the 
first  race,  and  this  virtually  settled  the  chances  of  the  others. 
Though  Gus  Strauss,  off  third,  made  up  a  lot  of  ground,  he 
could  only  manage  to  get  within  a  length  of  Gasser  at  the 
finish,  while  Venus  was  a  fair  third.  The  time  made,  0:50, 
equalled  the  best  made  at  the  distance  here  this  season. 

Bobolink  was  first  from  start  to  finish  in  the  second  race, 
and  Charley  Weber  outrode  Carr,  on  Esperance,  some- 
what, winning  by  a  head  in  a  long  drive.  The  Lark,  favor- 
ite, was  third,  two  lengtht  back. 

Seville  led  the  way  nearly  to  the  homestretch  in  the  third 
race,  one  mile,  where  Reno,  Border  Lassie  and  Braw  Scot 
joined  her.  The  quartet  ran  almoBt  on  a  line  for  nearly  an 
eighth  of  a  mile  and  it  looked  Reno's  race  up  to  the  last 
one  hundred  yards.  Here  Lloyd  gave  Braw  Scot  a  couple  of 
whip  culs,  and  the  gray.gelding  came  gamely  and  won  by  a 
neck  from  Border  Lassie,  Reno  and  Seville  quitting  toward 
the  close. 

Cohde  and  Romair  ran  close  together  to  the  homestretch 
in  the  fourth  race,  when  Charley  Weber  cut  loose  with  Joe 
Murphy  and  Prince  Henry  and  Tigress  also  came  fast.  At 
the  end  the  favorite,  Joe  Murphy,  won  handily  by  half  a 
length  from  the  50  to  1  shot,  Prince  Henry,  while  Conde 
held  on  long  enough  to  beat  Tigress  a  short  head  for  the 
show.  Tigress  would  have  been  very  close  to  the  winner  to- 
day had  she  not  been  pocketed  almost  at  the  start  and  forced 
to  run  around  her  field. 

Lottie  D.  won  the  last  race  by  tfiree  parts  of  a  length  from 
Fly,  who  beat  Bill  Howard  a  nose  for  place.  Fly  was  sent 
away  a  couple  of  lengths  behind  the  bunch, 
and  would  in  all  likelihood  have  made  Lottie 
i>.  quit  Ind  he  received  an  even  break  with  the  black    mare, 


who,  however,  appeared  to  win  comfortably.  That  she  had 
more  than  a  couple  of  lengths  up  her  sleeve,  though,  is  ex- 
ceedingly doubtful.

best  of  it,  they  went  away.  Venus  was  second,  Gus  Strauss 
third.  At  the  final  turn  Gasser  led  by  two  lengths  and  Venus 
was  second,  three  lengths  from  Gus  Strauss.the  rest  out  of  the 
hunt.  Gus  Strauss  beat  Venus  through  the  homestretch,  but 
could  not  reach  Gasser,  who  won  by  a  length  easily,  Gus 
Strauss  second,  one  and  one-half  lengths  in  front  of  Venus, 
who  beat  Laurel  half  a  dozen  lengths.     Time,  0:50.

The  Lark,  at  2A  to  1,  was  a  slight  favorite  in  the  second 
race.  Esperance  was  at  13  to  5,  Bobolink  4  to  1,  Morton  6, 
True  Briton  8,  the  others  from  10  to  20  to  1.  To  a  good 
start  the  order  was  Bobolink,  Tne  Lark,  Lady  Gwen.  At  the 
quarter  Bobolink  led  by  one  and  one-half  lengths,  Esperance 
second,  Orizaba  third.  At  the  half  Bobolink  led  by  two 
lengths,  others  the  same.  The  order  was  not  changed  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch,  where  The  Lark,  fourth,  began 
moving  up.  In  the  straight  Esperance  closed  up  on  Bobo- 
link, and  the  pair  ran  head-and-head  for  about  a  sixteenth  of 
a  mile,  Bobolink  winning  by  a  head  from  Esperance,  with 
The  Lark  third,  a  little  over  two  lengths  away.    Time,  1:44.

Joe  Murphy  was  an  even-money  favorite  for  the  fourth 
race,  fifteen-sixteenths  of  a  mile,  selling.  Dolly  McCone 
was  at  2  to  1,  Tigress  5  (backed  down  from  10\  Romair  10, 
Conde  and  Revolver  30  each,  Prince  Henry  50  to  1.  To  a 
good  start  Murphy,  Conde,  Dolly  McCone  was  the  order. 
Murphy  was  taken  back  at  once,  Conde  leading   Romair  a 


length  at  the  quarter  and  a  head  at  the  half,  Joe  Murphy 
two  lengths  away.  Tigress  now  closed  up  fast,  and  was  third, 
two  lengths  behind  Conde  and  Romair  as  they  turned  into 
the  straight,  Joe  Murphy  fourth,  a  head  behind  Tigress  and 
against  the  rails,  Prince  Henry  close  up.  Joe  Murphy  and 
Prince  Henry  were  up  with  the  leaders  a  furlong  from  home, 
and  the  pair  had  the  race  to  themselves,  Murphy  winning 
cleverly  by  half  a  length,  Prince  Henry  second,  two  lengths

The  last  race  of  the  day,  five  furlongs,  brought  out  five 
sprinters  ofa  very  high  class.  Bill  Howard  was  a  hot  favor- 
ite, backed  down  from  2  to  1  to  8  to  5.  Lottie  D.  and  Prin- 
cess were  at  3  to  1  each,  Fly  4  (backed  down  from  7  to  1), 
Comrade  50  to  1.  Fly  cut  up  at  the  post.  Finally  the  dag 
fell  to  a  fair  start  for  all  but  Fly,  who  was  sent  away  fully 
two  lengths  behind  the  bunch  and  four  lengths  in  the  rear  of 
Lottie  D.,  the  leader.  At  the  head  of  the  homestretch  Lottie 
D.  led  Bill  Howard  about  a  length,  and  Fly  had  run  up  third, 
another  length  away.  Into  the  homestretch  Lottie  D.  was 
first  a  length,  Bill  Howard  second,  half  a  length  from  Fly, 
who  was  on  the  inside.  A  beautiful  race  ensued  down  the 
homestretch,  Fly  gradually  crawling  up  on  the  leader  and 
getting  within  three  parts  of  a  length  of  Lottie  D.  at  the 
finish.  Bill  Howard  came  again  and  was  but  a  nose  behind 
Fly  at  the  wind-up.  The  time  was  1:02}.  That  Fly  would 
have  won  with  an  equal  break  nine  out  of  every  ten  persons 
agree.  Mr.  Macdonough,  who  controls  Princess'  running 
qualities,  did  not  think  Irving  got  all  the  run  possible  out  of 
the  fill v»  and  a  match  was  made  between  Princess  and  Lottie 
D.,  at  the  same  distance  and  weights,  for  $1,000  a  side.  The 
match  comes  off  nest  Tuesday  if  the  track  is  good. 

FIFTY-SECOND   DAY — SATURDAY,  MARCH  17. 

Excellent  racing  was  furnished  local  lovers  of  the  thor- 
oughbred horse  this  delightful  afternoon.  The  track  was 
at  its  best,  the  fields  of  fair  size  and  some  of  the  finishes  of 
the  most  thrilling  description.  Long  shots  (6  to  1  and  30  to 
chances)  took  the  first  two  races  into  camp,  and  then  the  favor- 
orites  had  things  their  own  way  the  rest  of  the  afternoon. 
The  grand  form  shown  by  the  Australian  horse,  Stromboli, 
was  cause  for  the  saying  of  many  unpleasant  things 
about  the  management  of  the  brown  Antipodean.  It 
should  be  stated  here  that  the  horse's  running  qualities 
were  leased  a  few  weeks  ago  and  that  the  gentleman  form- 
erly controlling  him  has  nothing  to  do  with  his  racing.  Just 
one  week  ago  he  came  out  to  do  battle  with  about  the  same 
lot  of  horses— at  any  rate,  not  one  of  contestants  oo  the  10th 
inst.  were  of  any  higher  class  than  those  he  met  to-day.  He 
was  disgracefully  beateo,  finishing  seventh  in  a  field  of  eight 
and  ridden  out  by  that  thoroughly  honest  and  competent 
jockey,  Johnny  Weber.  He  was  a  warm  favorite  in  the 
race.  To-day,  with  a  little  less  weight  up,  and  against  a  field 
not  one  whit  better  than  the  one  he  met  seven  days  previous- 
ly, he  makes  his  opponents  look  like  a  lot  of  yellow  canines. 
And,  strange  to  relate,  he  was  made  a  favorite,  loo,  to-day. 
Reports  were  curient  around  the  track  on  the  10th  inst.  that 
the  horse  had  been  given  two  strong  gallops  of  over  a  mile 
on  the  9th  and  another  speedy  work-out  on  the  morning  on 
the  10th.  Certain  it  is  that  the  horse's  run  on  the  latter  date 
would  go  far  to  verify  the  rumors  set  afloat,  for  there  was  not 
much  run  in  him  that  day  to  begin  with  and  Stromboli  was 
a  sorry  horse  at  the  finish.  The  question  now  arises,  was 
it  right  to  start  Stromboli  on  the  10th,  knowing  that  the  horse 
would  be  played  for  thousands  with  such  a  good  pilot  in  the 
saddle  as  Johnny  Weber  up,  or  was  the  trainer  ignorant  of 
the  horse's  real  condition?  Certainly  Slromboli's  splendid 
condition  to-day  would  argue  that  the  handler  of  the  horse 
is  not  the  veriest  novice  in  the  art  of  training,  and  therefore 
it  was  almost  criminal  not  to  scratch  the  overwork*  :d 
on  the  10th  inst.     By  starting  Stromboli  at   that  time

trainer  simply  burned  up  the  public's  money,  injured  a  capa-  i 
ble,  trust-worthy  jockey,  and  the    horse's   reputation  as  a 
racer  was  lowered  several  degrees. 

In  the  first  race  to-day  Jennie  Deane,  the  favorite,  led  to 
the  homestretch  by  two  lengths,  looking  all  over  a  winner  up 
to  the  bual  furlong.  Peregal  came  fast  from  fourth  place, 
however,  and  beat  the  quitting  favorite  by  a  neck,  with  In- 
ferno a  couple  of  lengths  away,  third. 

Lillian  C,  favorite,  led  in  the  second  race  to  the  three- 
quarter  pole,  when  Lady  Jane,  a  30  to  1  chance,  came  to 
the  front,  and  with  a  little  shaking  up  soon  had  Lillian 
beaten,  winning  easilv  by  two  lengths  in  the  fastest  time  of 
the  present  season,  0:491.  Silver  was  third.  He  was  played  , 
straight  and  place  very  heavily. 

Artist,  the  first  choice  of  the  talent,  laid  third  at  the  head  j 
of  I  he  homestretch  to  Normandie  and  Clara  White,  then 
made  a  good,  close  turn  into  the  straight,  winning  very  easily 
by  three  lengths  from  Carmel,  who  ran  very  fast  down  the 
homestretch  and  beat  Normandie  a  neck  for  the  place.  Clara 
White  was  a  head  behind  Normandie. 

Slromboli,  a   favorite  played  down  from  2  to  1  to  8  to  5,  ! 
was  the  last  horse  to  get  away  id  the  mile  and   a   sixteenth 
handicap.     He  gradually  improved   his  position  and  swung 
into  the  homestretch   about  fourth,  two  lengths    behind   the 
leader,  Romair.     Blizzard  came  very  fast  in  the  straight,  and 
led    up   to  the  last  two  jumps,  Slromboli   coming  with  that 
grand  burst  of  speed  of  his  and  nippiog  him  at  the  finish  by  | 
a  neck.  The  move-up  had  been  well  timed,  but  it  was  almost  j 
too  close  for  the   comfort  of  Stromboli's  backers.     Oakland, 
who  had  stayed  in  the  rear  too  long,  was  third,  three  lengths 
away,  coming  very  fast. 

In  the  steeplechase  Templemore  and  Guadaloupe  ran  very 
close  together  from  the  Hag-fall  over  the  first  five  jumps, 
when  Templemore  assumed  a  lead  that  he  never  relinquished, 
though  Zampost  was  catching  him  at  the  last  jump.  The 
latter  stumbled  on  the  other  side  of  the  jump,  however, 
turned  a  somersault,  and  rolled  over  with  Gentry,  and 
Guadaloupe,  behind  him,  fell  with  Hennessy.  Luckily 
neither  jockeys  nor  horses  were  injured.  Prince  Idle  fin- 
ished second,  twenty-five  or  thirty  lengths  behind  Temple- 
more and  three  lengths  from  imp.  Cascade,  who  was  cut 
down  in  the  most  shocking  manner.

The  mile  and  a  sixtenth  handicap  was  a  great  betting  affair. 
Nothwithstanding  his  miserable  run  the  week  previous, 
Slromboli  was  installed  favorite.  Opening  2  to  1,  he  was 
backed  down  .ill  over  the  ring,  wherever  money  would  be 
taken,  until  at  the  close  he  was  at  8  to  5.  Happy  Day's 
price  was  2A  to  1.  Oakland  was  at  4,  Royal  Flush  8,  Blizzard 
and  Romair,  coupled.  12,  Centella  12  to  1.  To  a  good  start 
Romair,  Happy  Dav.  Royal  Flush  was  the  order  passing  the 
stand,  Slromboli  last  of  all.  At  the  quarter  Romair,  Royal 
Flush  and  Blizzard  were  lengths  apart  as  named,  and  Strom- 
boli  was  loafing  along  in  the  rear.  Sullivan  soon  moved  up 
with  bim,  and  was  fifth  as  they  sped  by  the  half-pole  at  a 
rattling  pace.  Royal  Flush  closed  up  on  Romair  three  fur- 
longs from  home,  Blizzard  and  Stromboli  three  lengths  or 
more  away,  moving  on  the  leaders  fast  also.  Oakland  is  now 
sixth.  Into  the  homestretch  it  is  Romair  first  by  a  head. 
Royal  Flush  second,  a  scant  length  from  Blizzard,  on  whom 
Stromboli  is  lapped.  Blizzard  is  called  upon  now,  and  Ro- 
mair falls  back,  his  pacemaking  having  been  completed.  A 
furlong  from  home  Blizzard  is  but  a  head  behind  Royal 
Flush,  Romair  third,  with  Stromboli  at  his  heels.  Blizzard 
draws  away,  and  shouts  go  up  for  Dan  McCarty's  colt.  A 
little  over  a  sixteenth  from  the  winning-post  Sullivan  lets 
Stromboli  have  his  head.  He  gains  fast  on  Blizzard,  but  it 
looks  as  if  the  move  has  come  too  late.  Two  jumps  from  the 
end  he  is  even  with  Blizzard,  and  it  is  all  over,  for  he  dashes 
in  a  handy  winner  in  a  well-timed  finish  by  a  neck,  with 
Blizzard  second,  three  lengths  from  Oakland,  who  made  up 
seven  or  eight  lengths  in  the  straight.  A  neck  behind  Oak- 
land comes  Royal  Flush.  Time,  1:4SA.  The  mile  from  wire 
to  wire  was  run  in  1:41^.

Templemore  was  favorite  in  the  steeplechase  at  8  to  5. 
Guadaloupe  was  at  2A  to  1,  Zampost  3,  Prince  Idle  6,  Cas-

ran  close  together  to  the  fifth  jump,  with  Prince  Idle  third. 
Over  the  far  center-field  obstacle  Guadaloupe  almost  fell,  and 
Zampost  gained  on  him.  He  gained  on  Templemore  in  the 
homestretch,  but  stumbled  after  getting  over  the  last  jump, 
turning  a  somersault  and  throwing  Gentry.  Guadaloupe, 
behind  him,  also  fell,  and  Templemore  won  in  a  walk  by 
thirty  lengths,  Prince  Idle  finishing  second,  three  lengths

FIFTY-THIRD  DAY — TUESDAY,  MARCH  20. 

A  better  day's  racing  could  not  be  wished  for  by  any  reason- 
able man.  The  fields  were  large,  the  track  at  its  best,  specu- 
lation brisk  and  the  time  made  in  every  race — except  the 
match — far  above  the  average.  Speaking  of  the  match,  it 
attracted  several  hundreds  to  the  track  that  would  not 
otherwise  have  come,  but  proved  the  least  exciting  race  of  the 
whole  afternoon.  Lottie  D.  led  all  the  way,  winning  in  a 
canter  in  slow  time  for  supposed  crackerjacks.  The  book- 
makers laid  6  to  5  that  1:01|  would  not  be  beaten,  and  the 
race  was  run  in  1:024/.  The  feature  of  the  day's  sport  was 
the  grand  win  of  Border  Lassie,  who  was  at  odds  of  8  to  1  in 
the  betting,  Hotspur's  good  showing  in  the  mile  and  that  of 
Bridal  Veil  in  the  seven  furlongs.  Carr  rode  two  winners  to- 
day, C.  Weber,  Bozeman,  L.  Lloyd  and  E.  Jones  being  the 
other  successful  pilots. 

Model  led  all  the  way  in  the  first  race,  and  won  ridden  out 
by  one  and  one-half  lengths,  Silver  being  second,  a  neck  from 
Rey^  Alfonso,  who  was  running  fastest  at  the  close. 

Chemuck  was  first  all  the  ivay  in  the  second,  and  an  inter- 
esting fight  for  place  resulted  in  Sidney  getting  it  from  Chevy 
Chase  by  half  a  length,  with  Orizaba  a  short  neck  further 
away. 

The  match  was  one  in  name  only,  Lottie  D.  leading  from 
the  first  two  jumps  to  the  end,  winning  in  a  canter  by  over  a 
length  in  1:02}. 

Annie  Buckingham  led  In  the  mile  race  nearly  to  the  turn 
into  the  homestretch,  when  Rube  Burrows  and  Hotspur  came 
on,  the  latter  winning  quite  easily  by  a  length  from  Burrows, 
who  beat  Lonnie  B.  ODe  and  a  half  lengths.  Red  Root,  who 
finished  fourth,  looked  very  dangerous  a  furlong  from  home, 
but  died  away  somewhat. 

Gussie  and  Alary  fought  nearly  to  the  (homestretch  in  the 
fifth  race,  seven  furlongs,  then  Dolly  McCone  came  on  the

held  by  half  a  length  from  Bridal  Veil,  who  was  in  the  rear 
to  the  straight,  but  made  a  close  turn  against  the  inner  rails. 

Border  Lassie  led  by  a  small  margin  up  to  the  last  furlong, 
where  Fly  looked  as  if  he  might  win.  He  dropped  back 
badly,  however,  and  Border  Lassie  won  in  fast  time  from 
Huntsman  by  four  lengths,  with  Trix  third.

pole  Chemuck  led  by  two  lengths,  Rosalie  second,  a  length 
from  Chevy  Chase.  Chemuck  drew  away  a  bit  in  the  run  to 
the  homestretch,  where  she  was  leading  by  three  lengths, 
Rosalie,  Chevy  Chase  and  Sidney  close  together,  the  latter 
coming  fast  on  the  outside.  Chemuck  was  not  to  be  hea  ded

The  match  was  expected  to  be  the  race  of  the  day.  The  bet-

to  5.  There  was  one  break,  then  the  flag  fell  to  a  perfect 
start.  Princess  had  the  rail.  Lottie  D.  was  half  a  length  to 
the  good  ere  100  yards  had  been  run  and  a  length  in  front  at 
the  halt.  The  black  mare  swung  into  the  straight  first  by 
one  and  one-half  lengths,  and  Piggott,  on  Princess,  was  beat- 
ing a  tattoo  on  the  bay  mare  with  his  whip.  It  was  of  no 
avail,  however,  as  it  was  merely  a  good  work-out  for  Lot- 
tie D.  to  win  by  a  trifle  over  a  length  under  a  strong  pull. 
The  time  was  surprisingly  slow — 1:02}.  Princess  was  pulled 
up  slightly  about  forty  yards  of  the  finish,  but  Lottie  D. 
could  have  won  by  four  or  five  lengths  in  all  probability.

Lonnie  B.  There  was  little  change  at  the  half-pole.  Be-

signal  of  distress,  but  came  again  after  losing  some  ground. 
Annie  Buckingham  held  on  to  the  homestretch,  where  Rube

Rustic's  Rambling. 


[Special  Corresondence  of  Beeedeb  aud  Sportsman.] 


Olema,  March  17 — Reader,  would  you  on  this  warm 
March  morning,  take  a  ride  with  me  across  country  to  the 
valley  of  Sonoma.  You  must  remember  that  General  Fremont 
first  unfurled  the"bear  flag''  in  ihe  historic  town  of  Sonoma  and 
claimed  California  from  the  Mexican  Government  as  a  new 
State  of  the  Union.  General  Vallejo  made  bis  home  here  up 
to  the  time  of  his  death.  The  Vallejo's,  always  of  late  years, 
derived  an  income  from  a  little  lake  they  owned  on  the  moun- 
tain side,  which  in  the  beautiful  language  is  called  Lagrima 
del  Monie,  the  tear  of  the  mountain.  I  was  on  my  way  to  con- 
fide into  a  trainer's  hands  two  fast  trotting  colts,  one  called 
Secret,  with  a  three-vear-old  record  of  2:27,  the  other  a  coal 
black  without  a  mark,  called  Spotless,  now  two  years  old; 
which  as  a  yearling  showed  a  2:40  gait.  I  led  Secret  behind 
a  go  cart  and  drove  the  two-year-old  along  side,  the  gentle 
horse  i  had  hitched  to  the  cart.  I  picked  up  a  Japanese 
(Watamba)  on  the  road,  had  bim  lead  one  while  I  drove  the 
other  two.  The  road  ran  along  the  San  Geronimo  Lake,  some 
fifty  feet  above  the  swollen  stream.  The  timid  two-year-old 
shied  away  from  every  mud  puddle  and  would  push  the  go 
cart  and  gentleman  perilously  close  to  the  bank,  from  which 
there  was  a  close  fall  into  the  water  below.  "Get  out,  Watam- 
be.  then,"  I  would  say,  "lead  the  filly  over  that  puddle,  by  and 
by  she  will  get  way  wise.  Yes,  she  all  same  one  baDy  never 
been  away  from  home  before." 

Pretty  soon  we  left  the  large  creek  we  had  been  following 
and  went  up  a  tributary,  called  the  Nicasio  Creek,  a  wild  tur- 
bulent stream,  fretting  and  foaming  over  a  rocky  bottom. 

When  we  turned  one  sharp  corner,  I  pointed  out  to  my 
companion  a  long  line  of  boulders,  smelted  together  by  some 
great  heat  when  the  world  was  being  formed.  Shortly  we 
had  left  the  shades  and  foliage  of  this  deep  gorge  or  canon. 
Now  we  are  in  grass  grown  valleys  ;  dairy  cattle  are  feeding, 
bells  are  tinkling  on  both  sides  of  the  roads,  as  the  gentle 
cows  graze  and  munch  the  succulent  grass  on  this  fair  March 
morning.  A  mile  or  so  further  on  I  stop  and  pick  up  Pastime, 
the  mother  of  the  two  colts.  An  old  flea-bitten  grey  mare, 
which  I  had  sent  on  ahead  a  couple  of  days  before,  so  as  to 
have  but  a  part  of  the  long  journey  before  her. 

Pretty  soon  we  have  climbed  Kia  Hill,  from  whose  lofty 
summits  the  kingdoms  of  the  eartb  are  spread  out  before  us. 
Below  us  stretches  the  Petaluma  Valley  away  to  the  Sonoma 
Monntains.  Farm  houses  brighten  and  enliven  every  part 
of  the  landscape.  A  land  of  plenty  of  wine  and  corn.  Away 
to  the  north  stands  Mt.  St  Helena,  the  bold  warder  of  the 
North,  at  the  head  of  Napa  Valley.  This  mountain  derived 
its  name,  so  'tis  said  from  the  following  incident :  A  band  of 
Russian  priests  were  journeying  from  San  Francisco  Bay 
northward  toward  some  Rnssian  trading  post.  The  party 
camped  on  this  grand  mountain  upon  the  birthday  of  the  Rus- 
sian princess  Helen,  so  in  her  honor  tbey  named  the  moun- 
tain St.  Helena. 

Perhaps  it  was  the  same  party  of  priests  who  gave  the  name 
to  some  springs  I  camped  beside  many  years  ago.  It  is  fur- 
ther north  in  Mendocino  County.  I  asked  our  guide  why  are 
these  springs  called  Bell  Springs  ?  "  Wall,  you  see,"  said  the 
guide,  "  thar  war  some  Russian  priests;  they  had  a  bell  alone, 
a  church  bell,  1  calkalate.  The  Injuns  attacked  them  and 
in  tbe  fight  they  threw  their  bell  into  the  waters  of  the  spring 
and  left  it  there." 

Now  Uncle  Sam  stands  up  boldly  to  tbe  left  of  St.  Helena. 
Uncle  Sam  dips  his  feet  in  the  waters  of  Clear  Lake.  Tbe  In- 
dians call  this  mountain  Konokti,  much  more  unique  than 
the  name  of  Uncle  Sam.  Down,  down  we  go  upou  one  wind- 
ing away,  we  can  see  we  have  one  distant  road  creeps  over 
tbe  last  hill  before  it  goes  into  the  fair  town  of  Petaluma, 
which  res'suponan  arm  of  San  Francisco  Bay.  Here  we  rest 
our  tired  matron  and  her  children  awhile  before  we  finish  our 
journey  to  Sonoma.  Two  horse  trainers  are  discussing  their 
proposed  trip  to  Russia  when  they  go  to  train  Orloff  trotters 
for  some  relative  of  tbe  Czar. 

"  You  will  do  a  Russian  business  there,  Tom,"  said  a  by- 
stander. 

"Yes,  if  I  ever  learn  the  language,"  he  replied. 

At  4  o'clock  again  "ve  started  across  the  Petaluma  valley — 
rich  fallow  land  lay  beneath  the  rays  of  the  setting  sun  ;  tired 
plowmen  and  horses  were  plodding  their  homeward  way. 
Just  before  we  reached  Lakeville,  located  on  the  mouth  of 
Petaluma  creek  where  it  enters  the  Bay  of  San  Francisco,  we 
turn  abruptly  to  the  left,  follow  a  little  narrow  valley  until 
we  cross  the  watershed  between  the  valleys  of  Petaluma  and 
Sonoma.  Soon  we  are  gently  trotting  down  into  the  beautiful 
valley  of  Sonoma ;  the  smooth-gaited  colts  slip  alopg  over  the 
ground  with  the  low,  gliding  movement  of  the  fast  trotter. 
Soon  the  panorama  of  the  valley  bursts  upon  our  view.  The 
bright  green  fields  of  the  lowlands  are  dotted  here  and  there 
by  the  (Robles)  groves  of  oak;  the  tops  of  white  houses  over- 
look the  height  of  the  trees.  At  a  glance  we  know  there  is 
Sonoma  City  in  the  heart  of  the  valley.  At  the  foot  of  the 
dark  chapparel,  which  covers  the  sides  of  the  Sonoma  moun- 
tains, is  a  palatial  residence,  looking  like  the  home  of  a 
genii  or  the  queen  of  fairyland.  Here  Mrs.  Robert  Johnson, 
a  verv  wealthy  widow,  lived  until  lately.  She  had  thousands 
of  dollars  worth  of  Angora  cats,  rare  animals,  and  curios 
of  many  kinds,  which  she  had  collected  in  her  travels.  Poor 
lady  !  She  died  but  a  few  months  ago,  and  this  grand  home 
in  this  bpautiful  valley  shall  be  her  monument.  But  in  her 
generous  love 

"  She  trusted  to  the  memory  of  tbe  h<sart— 
There  is  no  dimming,  no  effacement  here — 
Each  new  pulsation  keeps  the  record  clear  ; 
Warm,  golden  letters  all  the  tablet  fill, 
Nor  lose  their  lustre  till  the  heart  stands  still." 

The  mountains  which  partly  surround  the  valley  on  the 
eastern  side  in  a  semi-circle  rise  dark  and  sombre,  their  sides 
covered  with  a  dense  growth  of  chapparel — a  fitting  frame  to 
the  bright,  warm  valle*-  beneath.  We  turn  off  now  and  go 
into  Senator  James  G.  Fair's  Sonoma  Stock  Farm.  The  tired 
horses  are  soon  warmly  housed  in  roomy  box-stalls.  After 
dinner,  when  we  step  out  on  the  porch,  we  see  Vallejo  and 
Mare  Island,  all  aglow  with  electric  lights,  while  the  solemn 
moon  rides  the  blue  sky  amid  a  thousand  stars.  Oh !  the 
beauty  of  God's  handiwork  !  How  it  freshens  up  the  monot- 
ony of  our  lives,  and  causes  us  to  think  of  heavenly  pictures  ! 

How  manv  wealthy  people  bang  landscape  pictures  on 
their  walls,  representing  thousands  of  dollars  of  money, 
when  did  they  but  ride  across  country  the  varying  plav  of 
light  and  shade,  the  passing  clouds,  th>  stirring  of  the  breeze 
through  the  leafy  trees,  all  changing  the  tone  of  the  picture, 
then  besides  what  health  one  drinks   in  with  every  draft  of 


air,  redolent  with  tbe  sweet  perfume  of  forest  and  field  !  On 
my  return  home  the  following  day  I  stopped  to  visit  a  noted 
veterinarian — a  canny  Scot.  "Nothing  doing  in  the  ciiy,my 
boy.  I  have  quit  lecturing  in  the  University,  for  a  time,  at 
least;  come  out  and  see  imported  Chesterfield."  "  Looking 
fine,  Doctor  ;  a  hardy,  compact  racer,  short-backed  and  close- 
ribbed,ougbt  to  carry  weight  to  win,"  I  said.  '"Why,  my  boy, 
didn't  he  pack  132  pounds  and  beat  a  big  field  ?  But  come  in 
the  house  and  see  my  photos,"  whereat  the  Doctor  showed  me 
photos  of  many  things  pertaining  to  his  profession.  When 
the  pretty  wife  came  in  tbe  Doctor  picked  up  a  violin. 
"This  is  a  Grancino  "  he  said,  drawing  his  bow  across  the 
resonsant      strings.  "  What     is     the     other       instru- 

ment ?"  "O,  that  is  an  Aroati  ;  I  refused  $400  for  it." 
"  And  this,"  I  said,  he  picking  up  the  third  violin,  "  why, this 
a  hnndred  years  old."  Drawing  his  long  bow  across  three 
strings  (one  was  gone)  he  played  :  "  I  dreamt  that  I  dwelt  in 
marble  halls,"  and  then  I  thought  that  these  were  marble 
halls,  for  talent,  beauty  and  music  were  all  present.

Santa  Rosa,  March  19. — There  is  considerable  life  in 
turf  circles  here,  and  the  indications  are  that  times  will 
be  pretty  lively  here  this  spring  and  summer.  There 
may  not  be  quite  so  many  horses  in  training  here  as 
there  were  during  the  "  boom "  days  of  four  years 
ago,  but  there  are  a  good  many,  and  some  of  them  are 
sure  to  be  heard  from  in  a  creditable  way.  The  horsemen  all 
realize  that  the  business  has  gone  "kerplunk"  to  hard  pan, 
and  that  if  it  moves  in  any  way  it  must  be  in  an  upward  direc- 
tion. 

J.  N.  Bailhache,  of  Healdsburg,  was  here  a  few  days  ago. 
He  is  still  suffering  with  the  rheumatism,  and  it  takes  a  good 
cane  and  a  good  deal  of  grim  determination  to  help  him  get 
around.  His  fine  stallion,  Anteeo  Richmond,  has  been  here 
for  a  number  of  weeks  receiving  the  attention  of  Dr.  Daven- 
port, but  has  so  far  recovered  that  he  has  been  taken  home. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  this  horse  will  be  able  to  go  into  the  cam- 
paign this  summer.  He  made  a  splendid  record  the  first 
season,  and  has  the  stuff  of  a  great  race  horse  in  bim. 

Harvey  Warde  Peck,  another  Healdsburger,  was  here  dur- 
ing the  week.  He  has  been  engaged  in  the  registration  of 
Chinese  in  tbis  county  for  the  Revenue  Department,  and 
finds  the  business  a  bit  amusing,  if  not  so  exciting,  as  riding 
behind  fast  horses.  He  reports  his  Anteeo  stallion,  Ferndale, 
as  in  good  fettle  and  coming  on  nicely. 

Three  foals  have  been  reported  from  the  Rose  Dale  breed- 
ing farm  so  far  this  spring.  Two  fillies  'and  one  colt,  all 
sired  by  Daly,  and  out  of  first-class  mares. 

Judge  Dougherty  has  a  Montana  Wilkes  filly  that  excites 
considerable  envy.  The  Judge  is  driving  the  youngster  a 
good  deal  lately,  and  she  moves  off  like  an  old-time  race 
horse.  He  purchased  her  from  Healy  &  Leppo,  who  got  her 
under  execution  from  DeLong. 

Jim  Dustin  is  working  his  horses  along  as  well  as  the  back- 
ward season  will  permit.  Jim  has  some  "  crackajacks  "  the 
boys  say,  and  he  will  be  "in  it"  this  season,  for  he  has  a 
healthy  habit  of  being  pretty  well  to  the  front  in  the  proces- 
sion when  the  bell  taps. 

Monroe  Salisbury  and  Captain  Griffith,  two  of  the  best- 
known  horsemen  in  the  State,  were  here  last  week.  They 
went  out  to  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  and  inspected  the 
stock  there,  with  a  view,  it  is  said,  of  making  selections  to 
take  East. 

Belden  &  Hehir  have  their  yearlings  out  on  the  Warner 
ranch.  One,  a  filly,  is  by  G.  M.,  and  the  other,  a  colt,  was 
sired  by  Ned  Locke.  It  is  probable  that  they  will  be  put  in 
harness  soon. 

Andy  Compton  is  working  for  Superintendent  Bonner,  of 
Pierce  Bras.'  farm  again.  Mr.  Bonner  and  Andy  will  in- 
struct the  young  trotters  and  develop  some  of  the  older  ones 
this  season,  we  have  been  informed. 

W.  H.  Lumsden's  fine  Skinner  colt  had  a  narrow  escape 
from  bleeding  to  death  a  few  years  ago.  Mr.  Lumsden  was 
driving  it  along  the  road  when  it  shied  off  to  one  side  and 
and  stepped  on  a  broken  bottle,  cutting  an  artery.  It  bled 
profusely,  and  bad  not  medical  assistance  been  near  at  hand 
it  would  have  been  added  to  the  long  roll. 

Geo.  Locke  is  handling  I.  DeTurk's  horses  again  this  year 
and  he  has  some  good  ones.  Some  of  tbe  young  fry  are  very 
promising.  Myrtle,  2:iy£,  is  out  in  the  paddock  and  will  be 
bred  ibis  season.  We  were  told  Saturday  that  she  is  to  be 
mated  with  Secretary. 

Rufe  Murphy  has  two  trotters  yet — they  are  Maud  D.  and 
a  Sidney  filly.  Mr.  Murphy  has  poured  out  considerable 
good  gold  coin  in  tbe  development  of  the  trotter  here  and  we 
hope  he  will  draw  out  some  good  dividends  some  day.  His 
brother,  Wyman,  has  one  or  two  left,  and  one  is  Maud  M.,the 
iron-hearted  little  Anteeo  mare.  Wyman's  friends,  when 
they  want  to  joke  him  a  little,  ask  him  if  be  has  sold  his 
place  yet.  This  is  because  a  confidence  man  bargained  for  it 
a  few  days  ago,  but  did  not  come  up  with  the  "  rocks." 

0  H.  Sheplars'  stallion  Abbott  was  sold  to  a  San  Francisco 
gentleman  named  Welby  last  week,  going  at  a  very  cheap 
figure. 

George  A.  Stone  has  sent  his  grandly-bred  horse  Illustrious 
to  Colusa  County  for  the  season.  The  colts  from  this  fine  son 
of  Happv  Medium  are  owned  in  Sonoma  county,  one  showing 
up  well,  and  the  Colusa  breeders  will  do  well  to  negotiate  with 
Mr.  Stone  tbis  year. 

Jerry  Broderick  has  R.  L.  Crook's  horses  at  the  "  Island  " 
stable.     He  also  has  a  number  of  others  in  his  care. 

J.  R.  Leppo  has  bought  W.  E.  Healy's  interest  in  Bonner 
Wilkes  and  will  use  him  as  a  carriage  horse.  This  is  a  very 
promising  horse  and  should  trot  very  fast  this  season.  But 
Mr.  Leppo,  while  an  enthusiastic  sportsman  with  gun  and 
rod,  does  not  spend  -"uch  time  dreaming  over  speed-ring 
glory,  and  it  is  not  likely  he  will  put  the  stallion  in  training. 
The  pedigree  of  Bonner  Wilkes  is  all  right,  and  the  horse 
has  shown  better  than  a  "  twenty  "  gait  many  times. 

Tom  Murphy's  Santa  Rosa's  friends  wpre  glad  to  hear  of 
his  good  luck  in  securing  the  job  of  training  and  driving  the 
horses  of  the  Czarof  Russia.  Tbe  posiiion  is  certainly  a  good 
one,  but  at  the  same  time  there  are  many  things  in  connection 
with  life  in  Russia  that  will  make  an  American  wish- himself 
back  here  again.  We  wish  Tom  the  best  of  good  luck,  but 
advise  him  that  if  Alexander  persists  in  hanging  around  the 
stalls  complaining  and  finding  fault  with  the  "  feedin   and 


waterin"  and  so  on  to  throw  bimout  and  then  hoist  the  stars 
and  stripes  over  his  stable. 

Captain  Guy  E.  Grosse  has  gone  out  of  the  horse  business, 
olive,  bops  and  prune  culture  having  more  attractions  for  him. 
There  are  a  number  of  others  who  have  gone  out,  but  others 
are  taking  their  places  and  thus  the  quota  is  being  kept  np.

The  Driving  Club. 


The  Ladies'  and  Gentleman's  Driving  and  Riding  Club  of 
San  Jose  met  on  the  12th  inst.  at  the  Board  of  Trade  rooms 
pursuant  to  adjournment  for  the  purpose  of  effecting  a  per- 
manent organization.  Dr.  H.  A.  Spencer,  the  temporary 
President,  occupied  the  chair  and  some  forty  other  well- 
known  gentlemen  were  present. 

The  Committee  on  By-Laws,  through  its  chairman,  Dr.  D. 
F.  McGraw,  presented  its  report,  which  was  adopted,  section 
by  section,  with  very  little  change  from  the  original  draft. 

The  purposes  of  the  club  are  declared  to  be  the  association 
of  ladies  and  gentlemen,  amateur  drivers  and  riders,  for  the 
promotion  of  fraternity  and  good  fellowship ;  the  securing 
of  innocent  and  healthful  recreation  by  means  of  contests  of 
skill  between  members  and  trials  of  speed  between  horses 
owned  and  driven  by  members;  no  money  prices  can  be  given 
and  no  gambling  in  any  form  will  be  permitted  ;  none  but 
members  can  compete ;  all  ordinary  contests  will  be  open  to 
amateurs  only,  but  the  directors  may,  in  their  discretion, 
arrange  special  contests  in  which  professionals  may  partici- 
pate, provided  they  are  members  of  the  club.  The  directors 
also  have  discretionary  power  to  employ  experts  for  exhibi- 
tioh  riding  or  driving  or  the  display  of  trick  horses.  The 
Board  of  Directors  are  the  sole  judges  as  to  who  are  and  who 
are  not  amateurs.  Gentlemen  may  become  members  by 
submitting  their  names  to  the  Board  of  Directors  for  approval, 
signing  the  By-Laws  and  paying  a  membership  fee  of  $5  ; 
dues  are  $1  per  month.  All  who  join  between  this  and  April 
1st  will  be  counted  as  charter  members  and  tfieir  dues  for 
March  and  April  will  be  remitted.  Ladies  are  eligible  to 
election  as  honorary  members,  and  may  participate  in  such 
contests  as  are  arranged  for  them  ;  they  of  course  are  not 
subject  to  fees  and  dues.  Members  who  are  not  in  arrears 
for  dues  for  more  than  one  month  will  be  provided  with 
tickets  or  badges  entitling  themselves  and  their  families  or 
ladies  under  their  escort  to  admission  to  all  club  matinees  or 
entertainments.  Any  member  in  arrears  for  dues  for  three 
months  and  failing  to  settle  when  notified  may  be  dropped. 
Any  member  upon  severing  his  connection  with  the  Club 
forfeits  all  proprietary  interest  in  club  property. 

The  officers  are  to  consist  of  nine  directors,  including  Presi- 
dent and  Vice-President,  and  they  are  empowered  to  select  a 
Treasurer  and  Secretary.  Directors  are  to  be  chosen  at  annual 
meetings  to  be  held  on  the  second  Monday  in  March  of  each 
year.  A  member  may  be  expelled  for  conduct  likely  to  endan- 
ger the  welfare  of  theclub,  and  the  club  by  a  two-thirds  vote 
may  for  like  reasons  remove  the  directors  or  officers,  or  any 
one  of  them.  The  directors  have  fall  power  to  make  rules  for 
the  government  of  the  club  and  its  employes,  and  for  the  con- 
duct of  all  matinees  or  entertainments.  Twenty  members 
constitutes  a  quorum  for  general  meetings,  and  five  for  a 
directors'  meeting.  The  usual  provision  is  made  for  the 
amending  of  by-laws. 

L'pon  the  adoption  of  these  by-laws  tbe  club  proceeded  to 
the  election  of  nine  directors  to  serve  for  the  first  year. 

Dr.  H.  A.  Spencer,  Jasper  Babcock,  F.  M.  Burkholder,  H. 
O.  Hickok,  George  W.  Sill,  Frank  J.  Brandon,  Charles  F. 
Bunch,  Dr.  W.  D.  McDougall  and  Dr.  D.  F.  McGraw  were 
placed  in  nomination,  and  there  being  no  further  nomina- 
tions the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  cast  the  vote  of  the  club 
for  the  gentlemen  named,  which  was  done,  and  they  were  de- 
clared duly  elected. 

The  club  then  adjourned,  after  which  the  directors  met  and 
organized  by  electing  Dr.  H.  A.  Spencer  President ;  Jasper 
Babcock,  Vice-President ;  the  Commercial  and  Savings  Bank 
of  San  Jose,  Treasurer,  and  S.  G.  Benson,  Secretary.  The 
salary  of  the  Secretary  for  the  first  six  months  was  fixed  at 
$25  per  month. 

0.  F.  Bunch,  H.  O.  Hickok  and  George  W.  Sill  were  ap- 
pointed a  committee  to  confer  with  the  directors  of  the  Santa 
Clara  Valley  Agricultural  Society  in  regard  to  the  use  of  tbe 
track  and  grand  stand,  and  also  to  learn  what  privileges 
could  be  secured  in  the  matter  of  jogging. 

Jasper  Babcock,  F.  J.  Brandon  and  C.  F.  Bunch  were 
appointed  a  committee  to  see  what  horses  can  be  matched  for 
the  first  club  contest;  the  committee  to  report  back  to  the 
directors. 

It  was  decided  that  where  not  otherwise  specified  the  rules 
of  tbe  National  Trotting  Association  should  govern. 

It  was  voted  that  the  first  club  matinee  should  be  held  on 
March  28th,  and  that  entries  therefore  should  be  closed  on 
March  24th  at  5  p.  Bt.  It  was  also  ordered  that  the  matinee 
should  include  three  contests;  that  the  trophies  should  not 
in  the  aggregate  exceed  $60  in  value,  and  that  there  should 
be  three  trophies  for  each  contest.  Admission  to  non-mem- 
bers will  be  25  cents,  with  possibly  a  small  additional  charge 
for  admission  to  the  grand  stand. 

F.  J.  Brandon,  Dr.  McGraw  and  F.  M.  Burkholder  were 
appointed  a  Finance  Committee.  The  directors  adjourned 
to  meet  next  .Saturday  evening. — Mercury. 

The  Terre  Haute  fair  has  changed  its  free-for-all  trot  to 
one  for  2:10  class.  It  was  found  that  but  few  would  care  to 
enter  against  Directum.  The  move  was  a  good  one  and  will 
insure  a  race  of  the  highest  quality.  Such  trotters  as  Walter 
E.  Hamlin's  Nightingale,  Anderson's  Nightingale,  Harrielta, 
Pamlico,  Ryland  T,  Little  Albert,  Lord  Clinton,  Robbie  P, 
Hazel  Wilkes,  Moquette,  Favora,  Regal  Wilkes,  Ellard, 
Magnolia,  Allerton  and  a  number  of  other  good  ones  are 
eligible.  It  will  be  one  of  the  greatest  races  of  the  year  and 
fully  worth  as  an  attraction  all  it  xrill  cost. 

John  Madden1,  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  sent  to  George  Starr 
the  four-year-old  brown  filly.Clara  G.,  by  Wilton,  2:193,  dam 
Bonuetta,  by  Commodore  Belmont.  The  filly  has  been 
kept  green  for  this  year's  Terre  Haute  Fair's  rich  four-year- 
old  stake,  first  money  io  which  is  now  worth  near  $12,000. 
Last  Year  she  went  trials  better  than  2:20  and  has  been  sent 
to  Starr  to  he  prepared  and  have  the  question  of  whether 
she  will  race  or  not  put  to  her. 


Negotiations  are  pending  whereby  John  Sawyer,  of 
Oregon,  is  likely  to  have  Georgia  Woodthorpe,  2:20},  in  1  is 
stable  for  the  season.

HAPPY    MEDIUMS     GRANDSIRE. 


A  Glance  at  tbe  Stud  Book  of    Judson's  Ham- 
bletonian. 


Recently  a  discussion  as  to  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of 
Happy  Medium  was  accorded  considerable  space  in  this 
paper,  and  the  interest  therein  was  extended.  The  production 
of  so  great  a  horse  as  Happv  Medium,  and  that  by  so  great  a 
mare  as  old  Princess,  2:30,  naturally  makes  everything  per- 
taining to  her  lineage  a  matter  of  prime  interest  to  trotting 
horse  students.  Allen  W.  Thompson  quite  satisfactorily  de- 
monstrated that  Princess,  the  dam  of  Happy  Medium,  was 
by  Andrus'  Hambletonian,  but  probably  few  have  known 
that  some  doubt  has  existed  as  to  how  the  Andrus  horse  him- 
self was  bred. 

The  registered  verdict  is  that  Andrus  Hambletonian  was 
by  Judson's  Hambletonian,  that  the  latter  was  by  Bishop's 
Hambletonian,  and  that  Bishop's  Hambletonian  was  by  im- 
ported  Messenger,  out  of   Pheasant,  by  imported  Shark,  etc. 

Bishop's  Hambletonian  was  a  good  racehorse,  but  I  have 
never  placed  any  faith  in  the  story  that  his  dam  was  by  imp. 
Shark.  Indeed,  there  never  was  any  evidence  in  support 
thereof,  except  an  advertisement  in  a  country  paper — The 
Orange  County  (N.  Y.)  Patriot.  Edgar,  in  his  Stud  Book, 
published  in  1833,  gave  the  dam  of  Bishop's  Hambletonian 
as  by  Messenger,  and  from  other  sources  it  may  be  inferred 
that  about  all  that  is  known  of  Pheasant  was  that  she  was  a 
Virginia  mare.  The  excellence  of  her  son,  however,  who 
was  a  good  horse  at  four-mile  heats,  argues  that  she  was  thor- 
oughbred, though  how  bred  we  do  not  know, 

Judson's  Hambletonian,  the  sire  of  Andrus'  Hambletonian, 
who  got  Happy  Medium's  dam,  was  a  brown  horse,  by 
Bishop's  Hamhletonian,  and  was  foaled  in  1821.  In  1830  he 
was  Bold  bv  his  breeder,  Judge  Underhill,  of  Dorset,  Vt.,  to 
Dr.  Nathan  Judson,  of  Pawlet,  Vt  Allen  Thompson,  in  his 
'•History  of  the  Hamiitoniau  Horses  of  Vermont,"  says : 
"  He  was  1b\  hands  high.  His  back  ran  out  straight  to  the 
setting  on  of  the  tail,  like  an  ox.  It  is  said  that  he  was  quite 
a  trotter,  that  he  could  trot  his  twelve  miles  an  hour.  He 
was  not.  a  giod-Iooking  horse,  nor  had  he  much  style  or 
action." 

Speaking  of  his  son,  Andrus'  Hamiltonian — recorded  as 
Ham\tietonian — Mr.  Thompson  says: 

"  Those  who  should  know,  differ  in  regard  to  the  year  the 
Andrus  horse  was  foaled.  Elhanor  McWain,  of  Dorset,  Vt., 
savs  it  was  in  1831  that  he  went  with  Ezra  Andrus  and 
helped  him  buy  the  horse  that  took  his  name;  that  Mr. 
Andrus  bought  at  the  same  time  an  own  brother  to  the 
Andrus  horse  that  was  a  year  younger.  Mr.  McWain  says 
this  was  in  the  fall  of  1831.  and  that  he  bought  the  next  year 
(1832)  the  colt  that  the  dam  of  the  Andrus  horse  brought, 
which  was  own  brother  to  the  ones  Mr.  Andrus  bought.  J. 
M.  Bishop  savs  that  he  knew  the  Andrus  horse  well,  aud  is 
very  confindent  that  he  was  foaled  as  early  as  1S33.  L.  B. 
Adams,  the  breeder  of  Princess,  says  the  Andrus  horse  was 
called  eight  years  old  in  1845  (if  so  he  may  have  been  ten 
or  twelve).  B.  B.  Sherman,  of  Danby,  Vt.,  says  that  he 
took  care  of  the  \ndrus  horse  in  the  seasons  of  1844,  1846, 
1S47,  1848  and  1850;  that  Mr.  Bayley  took  care  of  the  horse 
the  season  of  1S45,  and  that  the  Andrus  horse  was  four  years 
old  in  1S44.     *     *    * 

Mr.  J.  M.  Bishop  says  that  Mr.  Moulton,  the  tender  of  his 
father's  horse,  the  Bishop  Hamiltonian,  always  claimed  that 
the  Andrus  horse  was  sired  by  his  father's  horse,  the  Bishop 
Hamiltonian. 


The  dam  of  the  Andrus  horse  was  a  mahogany  bay,  with 
a  small  white  strio  in  the  face  and  one  white  hind  foot,  "io 
hands  high,  and  weighed  900  pounds.  She  was  called  fast, 
and  a  handsome,  fine  stvled  mare.  Mr.  Andrus  called  her 
Dutch  blood.  Mr.  McWain  says  she  was  bred  on  Long 
Island  (her  being  bred  in  New  York  may  have  been  the 
cau«e  of  her  being  called  Dutch  mare);  that  Mr.  Fuller 
bought  her  of  Mr.  Converse,  of  Rupert,  Vt.,  that  Mr.  Con- 
verse bought  her  dam  on  Long  Island  ;  that  she  was  a  black 
mare,  very  fine  and  handsome,  had  been  in  races,  but  had 
broken  down." 

Recently  H.  S.  Judson,  president  of  the  First  National 
Bank,  of  Morris,  Minn.,  favored  us  with  a  rare  old  hook — 
the  'tud  hook  of  Judson's  Hambletonian  for  1830, 1831  and 
1832.     Mr.  Judson's  letter  speaks  for  itself: 

"  F  enclose  vou  herewith  a  document  which  I  am  sure  will 
he  of  interest  to  vour  delver  in  pedigrees.  It's  the  record  of 
thre<»  seasons  in  the  stud  of  Judson's  Hambletonian — 1830  to 
1832  inclusive.  Therein  is  the  record  of  the  sowing  of  seed 
which  contributed  to  the  fibre  and  bloom  of  the  sweet  flower, 
'Our  Nancy.1  The  recent  statement  published  in  vour  paper 
verifying  the  long  accepted  breeding  of  Princess,  viz.,  bv  An- 
drus' Hambletonian.  by  Judson's  Hamblptoniin,  lends  in- 
terest. Regarding  the  record  in  the  stud  hook  of  the  ser- 
vice of  Judson's  Hambletonian  to  the  Andrus  mare,  you  will 
note  that  Mr.  Andrus  was  an  honest  man.  His  account  is 
marked  'paid.'  Observe  the  description  of  the  mare — Mr. 
Andrus*  be1-!  '  English  mare '  Now  to  what  I  deem  more 
important,  this  old  'tale  of  tales'  by  what  was  'writ  in 
black  and  white'  hIiown  that  Sir  Henry,  sire  of  Bipgart's 
Rattler,  which  figures  in  the  pedigree  of  manv  a  trotter  and 
Jodson'fl  Hamhletonian  were  me  and  the  samekone,  nnd  not  as 
Wallace  has  them,  separate  horses.  The  subdivision  of  the 
Btnd  record,  thus,  'the  necond  season  of  the  horses,'  proves 
conclusively  there  was  but  one  horse,  and  the  son  of  the 
owner,  who  is  now  living,  states  this  to  he  true.  Dr.  Edward 
Jdo'son  was  mmply  profuse  in  nomenclature —  'ToBervice  to 
Humhlctonian,'  'To  service  to  Henry/  'To  service  to  Fitz 
Henry.'  'To  service  to  Henry  the  First/  '  To  service  to  Sir 
Henry,'  '  To  service  to  Old  Mangos/  etc.  He  was  well  known 
as  Sir  Hpnry.  On  page  twelve  you  will  find  James  Riggart, 
June  5,  1830.  bred  his  Duroc  mare  to  Hambletonian,  or  Sir 
Henry.  Therefore  I  believe  Juddon'fl  Hamhletonian  is  the 
sire  of  Biggnn'*  Rattler,  and  the  records  now  separated 
should  be  credited  to  the  one.  Enough  ;  your  expert  who  is 
more  f:i  nit  liar  with  the  names  of  ancient  horses  ana  horsemen 
may  find  within  ihe  covers  truths  that,  though  over  sixty 
years  hound,  mil)  bring  '  murder  out.' 

"William  Judson,  son  of  Dr.  Edward  Judson,  in  sending 
me  this  book  wrote :  '  I  was  quite  young  when  tbe  horse  died 


(he  was  twenty-one  years  old  when  he  died).  My  recollec- 
tions are  that  he  »vas  a  black,  except  one  white  fetlock.  *  * 
I  have  often  heard  my  father  say  that  when  he  had  the  blues 
he  would  drive  Sir  Henry  and  he  went  so  majestically  that  it 
would  cure  the  blues.'  Judson's  Hambletonian,  as  1  under- 
stand it,  was  bred  by  my  grandfather,  Sheldon  Judson,  near 
Pawlet,  Vt.,  and  sold  to  his  brother,  Dr.  Edwin  Judson." 

In  the  first  volume  of  the  Wallace  Register,  Andrus'  Ham- 
bletonian, the  sire  of  Happy  Medium's  dam,  is  registered 
thus: 

"  Hambletonian  (Andrus'),  br  h,foaled  about  1810;  got  by 
Judson's  Hambletonian ;  dam  not  traced.  Owned  by  Mr. 
Andrus,  Pawlet;  sold  to  G.  A.Austin,  Orwell,  Vt.;  sent  west 
by  Mr.  Wetherbee,  1854,  and  died  in  Muscatine  county, 
Iowa,  in  1857." 

We  think  that  Mr.  Judson  is  wrong  in  his  presumption  as 
to  the  entry  that  marked  the  getting  of  Andrus'  Hamble- 
tonian, and  that  Mr.  Thomson  is  wrong  in  his  history. 
The  Andrus  people,  brothers  presumably,  bred  frequently  to 
Dr.  Judson's  horse.  The  first  eutry  charged  to  an  Andrus 
books  "  William  Andrus  to  the  use  of  horse  to  one  mare  ; 
if  with  foal  $6  ;  if  not,  $3,"  but  fails  to  say  whether  the  mare 
"caught"  or  not.  This  was  July  5,  1830.  The  next  entry,  and 
the  one  that  Mr.  Judson  believes  resulted  in  Andrus'  Hamble- 
tonian, is  dated  May,  1831,  and  reads:  "John  Andrus  (of 
Danby)  dr.  to  the  use  of  Henry  (the  first)  to  his  best  English 
mare,  $3.  Received  pay  for  above,  $3."  Under  date  of 
May  18,  of  the  same  year.  "Ezra  Andrus  (of  Danby)"  is 
charged  with  "  the  use  of  horse  to  two  mares,  $6,"  and  the 
record  that  on  February  10,  of  the  next  year  he  paid  the 
amount,  the  presumption  being  that  he  got  two  foals.  Again, 
June  1,  1832,  Ezra  Andrus  bred  two  mares,  in  all  prob- 
ability, from  dates,  etc.,  the  same  two  as  were  bred  the 
previous  year,  and  this  time  there  is  no  question  about  the 
result,  for  old  Dr.  Judson  writes  under  the  entry:  "March, 
1833  ;  received  pay  for  two  colts."  Dated  July  6,  1832,  is  a 
charge  against  "  WUiam  Parrish  or  E.  Andrus"  for  "the  use 
of  the  horse  to  one  bay  mare  by  the  warrant,"  and  as  a  war- 
rant was  paid  it  seems  sure  that  the  mare  had  a  foal.  It 
would,  therefore,  seem  that  Ezra  Andrus  bred  certainly  four, 
and  possibly  five,  colts  from  Judson's  Hambletonian  in  tbe 
years  covered  by  the  old  stud  book  before  us. 

The  history  compiled  by  Mr.  Thompson  shows  that  the 
owner  of  Andrus'  Hambletonian  was  Ezra  Andrus,  not 
William  who  bred  "  his  English  mare,"  the  one  whom  Mr. 
Judson  presumes  to  be  the  dam  of  Andrus'  Hambletonian. 
Mr.  Thomson  says  that  Ezra  Andrus  (in  1831)  bought  Audrus' 
Hambletonian  and  his  full  brother,  but  from  the  record  is  it 
not  far  more  probable  that  he  bred  the  two,  as  it  is  shown 
that  he  bred  in  three  successive  years  to  Dr.  Johnson's  horse, 
and  that  foals  resulted  in  at  least  1832  and  1S33?  Having 
bred  two  mares  to  Judson's  Hambletonian  in  the  spring  of 
1831  why  should  Ezra  Andrus  wish  to  buy  two  colts  by  that 
horse  in  the  fall  of  that  year?  The  presumption  from  the 
old  book  is  that  Ezra  Andrus  bred  the  sire  of  Princess ;  that 
he  was  foaled  in  1832  or  1833  ;  but  there  is  no  record  as  to 
the  breeding  of  his  dam,  which  was  not,  we  opine.  William 
Andrus'  "  best  English  mare." 

It  is  clear  from  the  book  that  Dr.  Judson,  though  in  most 
respects  most  methodical,  had,  as  Mr.  Judson  says,  a  passion 
for  variety  in  nomenclature.  Very  clearly  be  had  but  one 
horse,  vet  he  calls  him  variously  the  horse,  Hambletonian, 
Hamiltonian,  Henry,  Sir  Henry,  Henry  the  First  and  Old 
Magnus. 

While  there  is  more  than  a  possibility  that  Biggart's  Ratt- 
ler may  have  been  by  Sir  Henry,  alias  Judson's  Hambleto- 
nian, the  entry  referred  to  in  Mr.  Judson's  letter  is  hardly 
the  one  connected  with  his  origin.  He  was  not  bred  by  James 
Biggart,  but  by  Stephen  Kelley,  and  his  dam  was  never 
claimed  to  be  "a  Duroc  mare"  as  given  in  this  entry.  Then 
again,  he  is  registered  as  foaled  in  1844,  and  Judson's  Ham- 
bletonian is  given  as  having  died  in  1S41.  It  is  quite  possi- 
ble, indeed  probable,  that  both  these  dates  are  wrong,  and 
that  Sir  Henry  might  have  been  the  sire  of  Rattler,  but,  as 
stated,  the  entry  could  not  have  been  that  in  Dr.  Judson's 
book  of  1831. 

Quaint,  queer  and  interesting,  indeed,  are  the  entries  in 
this  old  day-book.  Typical  New  England  names  enough  there 
are  to  furnish  dramatis  personae  for  another  Old  Homestead, 
County  Fair  and  Peaceful  Valley,  and  we  can  imagine  that 
some  of  these  old  Vermonters  were  quite  of  the  types  of  Jos- 
hua Whitcomb,  Seth  Perkins  and  Cy  Prime.  Human  nature, 
at  least,  was  the  same  then  among  "country  horsemen  "  as 
now,  for  some  of  the  bills  were  paid  promptly,  some  were  not 
paid  for  years,  some  in  part  and  some  never.  Nathan  Stod- 
dard "  bred  the  best  mare  in  the  county,"  but  apparently  for- 
got to  pay  the  fee  ;  James  Cook  "  bred  one  mare  "  and  "paid 
in  haying  aud  in  lime;"  "Old  Man  Tailor"  bred  a  gray  mare 
and  "  I  am  to  have  the  colt  at  four  months  and  a  half  old 
and  pay  twenty  dollars" — but  whether  the  bargain  was  ever 
consummated  the  record  does  not  show.  Experience  Barrows 
was  a  good  customer,  but  Experience  did  not  seem  to  have 
the  best  of  luck,  "  no  colt,  no  pay  "  being  the  general  record; 
but  "Squire  Bacon,  of  Sunderland,"  had  better  luck  and  paid 
cash  in  full.  Erastus,  Ephraim  and  Ezra  Robinson  also 
seemed  friendly  to  the  doctor's  horse,  and  Dorastus  Fitch  paid 
promptly.  Deacon  Harmon  and  King  Beebe  both  bred  the 
same  day,  but  the  deacon,  after  the  manner  of  deacons,  stood 
the  doctor  off  till  the  fall,  but  "old  Judge  More"  was  punc- 
tual, and  Squire  Hands  paid  "cash  in  hand/'  while  Jacob 
Edgarton  paid  in  wheat,  and  Judge  Pettibone  allowed  S. 
Judson  to  settle  for  him  a  $6  bill  with  a  $5  note.  Joel  Bas- 
sett  paid  spot  cash  thesame  day  that  Ozius  (Hark  settled  half 
his  bill  in  apples — and  so  on  in  their  exact  way  the  yellow 
leaves  on  which  the  ink  has  been  dried  for  more  than  sixty 
yearB  tell  their  quaint  story  of  "  horse  business"  in  Vermont 
in  the  early  thirties. — "  Mac,"  in  Clarke's  Horse  Review. 


Mu,  Keene  says  that  last  year  he  was  offered  $100,000  for 
Domino  and  refused  it.  As  it  turned  out  the  colt  would  have 
been  cheap  at  that  price  and  would  have  won  himself  out 
nearly  twice  over  before  the  end  of  the  season,  but  almost  any 
man  would  take  $100,000  rather  than  run  his  chance  to  win 
more  in  a  single  year.  It  is  extraordinary  that  thestory  has 
not  leaked  out  before.  People  who  go  about  the  country  offer- 
ing $100,000  for  a  horse  are  very  scarce  and  generally  have 
something  to  say  about  it  themselves  if  their  offer  is  not  ac- 
cepted. It  will  he  a  long  lime  before  the  same  amount  of 
money  is  offered  for  Domino  again. 


Venus    by   Captain   "Webster. 


A  Chicago  syndicate,  headed  by  George  V.  Hankins, 
have  determined  to  purchase  the  St  Louis  fair  grounds.  It 
is  said  they  are  ready  to  $1,500,000  when  the  sale  of  the  in- 
terest of  the  third  mortgage  bondholders  take  place  in  April, 
and  if  this  amount  will  buy  the  property  a  meeting  will  be 
held  this  summer. 


In  a  recent  number  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman, 
Orrin  Hickok  and  several  other  California  parties  have  stated 
that  Venus,  the  dam  of  Adonis,  2:1H,  Cupid,  2:18  and  Lea, 
2:27},  was  by  Venture,  sire  of  the  dam  of  Directum,  and  not 
by  Captain  Webster,  as  stated  in  the  Valensin  Farm  cata- 
logue. An  item  in  regard  to  this  appeared  in  the  American 
Sportsman  a  couple  of  weeks  ago,  and  Monday's  mail  brought 
to  that  journal  from  the  Two-Minute  Stock  Farm  the  follow- 
ing letter,  which  was  sent  to  W,  J.  White  by  Judge  Greene, 
of  Oakland,  Cal.  The  letter  explains  itself  and  shows  that  so 
far  as  the  proof  goes  Venus  was  got  by  Captain  Webster  and 
not  by  Venture.  At  all  events,  it  will  be  a  pleasure  to  hear 
from  the  other  side  of  the  house  on  the  question. 

Oakland,  Cal.,  February  15, 1894. 
W.  J.  White,  Esq.,  Rockport,  Ohio. 

Dear  Sir: — 1  find  among  the  papers  of  the  Valensin  es- 
tate your  letter  of  December  1,  1893,  asking  if  Venus  had 
ever  been  registered.  I  cannot  answer  the  question.  She  has 
two  trotters  in  the  list,  your  mare  Lea,  2:27}  and  Cupid,  2:18 
(besides  Adonis,  pacer),  and  is  therefore  entitled  to  be  regis- 
tered. Venus  was  undoubtedly  sired  by  Captain  Webster.  I 
got  the  facts  of  the  case  up  for  Valensin  some  time  before  he 
died  and  had  them  put  into  writing  by  the  man  that  knows 
the  most  about  the  subject  of  any  man  living,  Sabin  Harris 
of  this  city.  The  statement  to  which  I  refer  was  made  by 
him.  I  do  not  find  the  statement  among  Valensin's  papers 
and  I  presume  he  sent  it  to  the  Register  Company  at  Chicago, 
but  I  do  not  know.  This  statement,  as  I  now  remember, 
would  show  about  this  statement  of  facts: 

A  man  living  on  San  Pablo  avenue  (an  avenue  of  this  city, 
and  running  north),  about  three  and  one-half  miles  from  the 
city,  bred  Venus.  This  man  was  married  and  his  wife  lived 
with  him.  They  were  not  very  strong  people,  and  particu- 
larly the  man.  They  had  only  one  animal,  and  that  a  mare, 
the  dam  of  Venus.  This  mare  was  a  very  good  road  mare. 
He  bred  this  mare  two  seasons,  the  first  foal  being  a  black 
filly  and  the  next  Venus.  The  man  died.  About  three  or 
four  months  after  he  died  his  wife  sold  these  fillies  to  a  man 
(her  neighbor)  by  name  of  G.  W.  Parsons.  They  were  then 
one  and  two  years  old  respectively,  this  sale  taking  place  in 
the  fall.  Mr.  Parsons  kept  these  fillies  until  Venus  was  four 
years  old  and  then  he  put  her  into  Sabin  Harris'  hands  to 
break,  as  well  as  the  black  sister.  Mr.  Harris  broke  both  and 
purchased  Venus  of  Mr.  Parsons,  the  mare  going  back  into 
his  hands.  Venus  showed  considerably  speed  and  this  put 
Mr.  Harris  on  inquiry  as  to  how  she  was  bred.  All  Mr.  Par- 
sons could  tell  him  was  that  the  widow  told  him  that  Venus 
was  sired  by  a  son  of  Belmont,aud  he  thought  it  was  Venture. 
The  widow  had,  in  the  meantime,  died.  A  son-in  law  lived 
in  San  Francisco  and  he  said  she  was  by  a  son  of  Belmont, 
so  he  had  heard  his  wife's  father  say,  but  what  son  he  did 
recollect,  if  the  father-in-law  ever  stated.  The  son-in-law 
knew  the  dam  of  Venus  well,  and  of  course  had  seen  Venus 
and  her  sister  when  the  father-in-law  and  breeder  of  them 
was  living. 

Mr.  Harris  was  still  in  the  dark.  Shortly  after  this,  that  is, 
after  he  had  made  the  inquiries  stated,  Harris  met  a  man  who 
was  then  living  on  the  place  where  Venus  was  bred.  Harris 
asked  him  if  he  knew  anything  about  the  matter  and  he  said 
no,  but  that  he  had  noticed  a  poster — stud  horse  bill — pasted 
up  in  the  barn  where  he  lived  and  possibly  that  might  throw 
some  light  on  the  matter.  Mr.  Harris  went  immediately  to 
the  premises  and  found  a  poster  up,  in  the  barn,  of  Captain 
Webster,  and  it  was  for  the  year  Venus  was  sired.  He  im- 
mediately went  to  the  residence  of  Mrs.  Walt  Smith,  who  was 
the  widow  of  the  man  that  owned  and  stood  Captain  Webster 
at  Oakland  the  year  Venus  was  sired,  and  asked  her  if  she 
had  any  of  the  stud  books  of  the  service  of  Captain  Webster. 
She  said  she  had,  but  did  not  know  if  she  had  one  of  the  year 
in  question,  but  would  see.  She  looked  and  fourd  Ciptain 
Webster's  stud  book  for  the  year  in  question,  and  upon  exam- 
ination of  it  by  Mr.  Harris  he  found  that  there  was  an  entry 
by  Mr.  Smith  of  the  fact  of  Captain  Webster  serving  a  mare 
for  the  man  who  raised  Venus  the  year  she  was  bred.  This 
settled  the  matter  in  the  mind  of  Mr.  Harris  that  she  was  by 
Captain  Webster  beyond  a  doubt. 

At  the  time  Harris  bought  Venus,  Venture  had  just  then 
made  his  record  of  2:27J  and  was  much  in  favor.  Venture 
was  chestnut,  Capt.  Webster  was  a  bay,  and  Venus  was  chest- 
nut. The  color  of  Venus  being  like  that  of  Venture,  seemed 
to  lend  credit  to  the  impression  she  was  by  Venture  until 
Harris  hunted  up  the  facts  as  stated.  Mr.  Harris  was  hope- 
ful of  finding  she  was  by  Venture  at  the  time  and  the  friends 
of  Venture  were  eager  to  claim  she  was  by  Venture,  but  the 
facts  seemed  to  settle  it  beyond  a  question.  Besides,  Venture 
stood  about  nine  miles  away,  at  San  Leandro,  and  there  was 
even  a  question  whether  he  did  not  stand  that  season  about 
fifty  miles  away  from  Oakland.  The  Venture  people  were 
never  ablet  o  show  any  record  of  the  dam  of  Venus  being 
bred  to  Venture,  as  I  understand  it. 

I  see  now  that  the  dam  of  Directum  was  by  Venture. 
Some  one  jumps  into  the  arena  and  says  that  Venus  was 
by  Venture,  that  the  wife  of  the  man  who  owned  Venture 
says  that  the  dam  of  Venus  was  first  bred  to  Captain  Web- 
ster and  then  about  two  months  later  to  Venture  and  that 
Venus  came  along  about  the  time  she  would  be  due  from  the 
cover  of  Venture.  Dennis  Gannon,  I  believe,  owned  and 
controlled  Venture  at  tbe  time  and  Dennis  and  his  wife  are 
both  living  in  San  Rafael,  Marin  county,  I  believe.  I  know 
Dennis  is,  for  I  have  seen  him  inside  of  two  months.  Whv 
the  wife  of  Dennis  Gannon  should  speak  on  the  subject  and 
Dennis  remain  silent  I  do  not  understand.  If  such  a  state  of 
facts  are  within  his  wife's  knowledge,  they  must  be  in  his 
also. 

Venture  went  to  the  Sandwich  Islands,  I  believe,  quite  a 
number  of  years  ago  and  died  there.  Captain  Webster,  I 
think,  died  in  Santi  Clara  County,  this  State. 

The  attempt  to  claim  Venus  for  Venture  is  revived  only 
because  some  fellow  thinks  he  can  do  something  smart  by  add- 
ing something  more  to  the  glory  of  Venture  as  the  sire  of  the 
dam  of  Direcinm.  It  is  really  of  little  consequence  whether 
Venus  was  by  Venture  or  Captain  Webster.  Both  are  sons  of 
Williamson's  Belmont,  and  they  stand  one  about  as  well  as 
the  other  as  the  sire  of  dams.  The  get  of  Venture  were  al- 
most uniformly  cut  oft"  under  the  knee.  Webster's  were  not 
so.  Venus  was  not.  With  equal  chance  in  the  stud,  Captain 
Webster  was  by  far  the  better  horse,  in  my  opinion,  and  but 
for  an  accident  would  have  been  faster.  He  was  by  a  long 
ways  the  better  headed  horse.    Very  truly  yours, 

W.  E.Greene.

WILLIAM  WILLIAMSON, 


§1  00 
Proprietor 


Noticing  the  above  advertisement  io  the  Alia  California, 
aud  Saturday,  being  a  holiday  for  me,  I  invited  ray  school- 
mate, Charity  Reed,  who  io  later  years  became  San  Fran- 
cisco's favorite  minstrel,  to  accompany  me  to  the  race.  Start- 
ing quite  early  from  the  old  Fashion  Stable  on  Sutler  street 
below  Montgomery,  then  owned  by  Porter  &  Covey,  behind 
the  fastest  road  team  in  the  State  for  their  size,  thirteen 
hands  two  inches,  we  jogged  out  the  old  Mission  Street  road 
on  our  way  to  the  track  to  get  a  look  at  the  horses  before 
the  races  commenced.  Noticing  that  one  of  the  team  had  a 
shoe  loose,  we  stopped  at  the  Nightingale,  then  kept  by  Wm_ 
Shear,  and  Billy  Shear,  who  kept  a  blacksmith  shop  opposite, 
kindly  tightened  the  shoe  for  us. 

Resuming  our  drive  until  the  Willows  was  reached,  we 
stopped  for  a  few  minutes  to  see  Fillmore  and  Philadelphia 
Jobu.  A  large  poster  on  the  front  of  the  house  announcing 
that  a  bull  and  bear  fight  would  lake  place  Sunday,  the 
'20th,  attracted  our  attention,  although  events  of  this  kind 
were  not  uncommon  at  this  period. 

We  stopped  at  the  White  Mouse  for  a  minute  or  two  to 
see  Uncle  Bob  Beatty.  We  found  him  getting  ready  to 
drive  into  town ;  Bull  Pup  was  waiting  in  front  of  the 
house,  hitched  to  the  market  wagon.  We  little  thought  at 
that  time  that  he  was  to  sire  the  dam  of  the  great  mare 
Hulda. 

"Going  to  the  race,  boys ?"  asked  Uncle  Bob.  "  Yes  sir," 
we  replied.  "Well  you  ought  to  see  a  good  one  Rosa  and 
Alecia  trot  to-day.  See  you  on  the  way  back,"  Uncle  Bob 
says  as  he  drives  away.  On  we  go  past  the  old  Pioneer, 
Geo.  Treat's  place,  then  down  on  to  the  marsh  across  the 
flat  until  we  shortly  reach  the  track. 

Everybody  was  in  a  rush  here  getting  ready  for  the  crowd 
expected  in  the  aflernoon,  Uncle  Billy  was  here,  there  and 
everywhere,  giving  orders  to  Tom  and  Jerry,  aud  occasion- 
ally an  extra  one  to  the  bar.  Taking  a  -seat  on  the  front 
porch  we  watched  the  horses  taking  ibeir  morning  work. 
Jack  Gallar  was  out  early  wilh  Rosa  Livingston  ;  she  looked 
fitto  trot,  and  Charley  Cockran,  who  took  care  of  her,  said 
she  was  in  it.  By  the  way  old  Charley  is  still  alive,  eighty 
years  old,  still  following  his  professional  Palo  Alto  He  his 
been  on  the  turf  for  over  sixty  years,  is  hale  and  hearty,  and 
hopes  to  live  and  cheer  the  two-minute  trotter. 

Alecia  Mandeville  and  Sorrel  Charley  are  only  taking 
walking  exercise  this  morning,  Jenny  Noyes  we  saw  as  we 
passed  through  the  stables. 

Uncle  Billy  had  got  through  with  his  rush  and  was  about 
to  take  a  seat  beside  us,  when  the  barkeepersaid they  had  no 
limes,  and  Uncle  Billy  and   Jngomar  started  for  town. 

A  good  many  are  working  out  this  morning.  There  goes  Jack 
Gallar  and  May  Queen.  What  a  handsome  mare  Bbe  is  ?  Com- 
ing up  thestretch  is  Geo.  Ferguson  and  Glencoe  Chief.  That 
gray  mare  jogging  on  the  outside  of  the  track  is  Unknown. 
She  is  fast  and  quite  a  favorite  iust  now  : 

There  comes  Jim  Eoff  and  Gentleman  George,  and  there 
stands  Boot-Jack  and  Dick  Gough  at  the  gate  waiting  for 
Barney  Rice.  There  goes  Topsy  and  Dare  Devil;  and  the 
double  team  you  see  is  Eily  O'Connor  and  Lady  Lancas- 
ter. They  are  to  trot  against  Punch  and  Roe  Allen  in  a  few 
days. 

There  goes  an  old-timer,  and  well  named,  Honest  Anse, 
blind  in  one  eye,  but  true  as  steel;  Eoff  drove  him  in  the  East 
before  he  was  brought  to  California,  and  always  had  a  tender 
spot  for  the  horse. 

There  comes  some  speed  down  the  stretch — Barney  Rice  and 
Young  America,  and  Charley  Shear  with  Paddy  Magee. 

There  goes  one  that  don't  look  like  a  racehorse,  but  he  is, 
and  a  hard  one  to  beat ;  that's  Jim  Barton,  the  other  is  Dow- 
ney, with  John  Daniels  holding  the  ribbons. 

It  is  now  lunch  time,  and,  as  we  enter  the  dining-room, 
find  many  of  the  drivers  seated,  taleing  over  old  times  and 
events.  Eoff  was  telling  how  Pease  matched  Glencoe  Chief 
against  the  Whistling  Giraffe  for  $2,000,  both  to  pull  express 
wagons.     The  Giraffe  was  distanced  in  the  first  heat. 

Meeting  Charley  Chase  the  other  day,  he  related  to  me 
how  the  owner  of  the  Whistling  Girafle,  after  the  match  had 
been  made,  applied  to  the  owner  of  the  track  for  accommoda- 
tion and  its  result : 

"  It  was  a  fine  morning  at  the  Bay  View  Park,  and  quite  a 
number  of  people  had  visited  the  track  to  see  the  horsps 
work.  A  couple  of  English  gentlemen  among  the  number  rode 
out,  tying  their  horses  to  the  fence  in  tront  of  the  hotel, 
while  near  by  there  were  several  rigs,  some  lied,  others  just 
driving  towards  the  fence,  when  up  drove  the  man  with  the 
Whistling  Giraffe;  and  Uncle  Billy  being summoned^me out 
on  the  porch,  cocktail  in  hand,  his  third  eye-opener  that 
morning,  saying,  what  might  be  the  trouble.  The  driver 
replied,  "Well,  here  I  am  with  the  Whistling  Giraffe.  Where 
shall  I  take  him?"  Just  then,  and  before  Uncle  Billy  could 
hide  his  cocktail,  the  Giraffe  screwed  up  his  back  and  let 
forth  a  series  of  snorts  that  so  terrified  the  Englishmen's 
horses  that  they  jumptd  over  the  fence,  two  or  three  run- 
aways took  place,  and  Uncle  Billy  after  swallowing  his  cock- 
tail exclaimed  in  an  exasperated  manner:  "Take  him!  take 
him  anywhar  on  'artb  hut  here." 

John  Daniels  told  a  good  one  on  Dismal  Jimmy.  He  had 
made  a  double  team  race  with  Harris  Covey  for  $2,000  and 
each  had  put  up  $1,000  forfeit,  the  race  to  be  trotted  in  thirty 
days  from  day  of  making,  the  remaining  $1,000  to  be  put  up 
ten  days  before  race.  About  two  weeks  after  the  match  was 
made  one  of  Eofl's  team  got  way  off,  and  he  resorted  to  every 
subterfuge  to  keep  Covey  from  finding  it  out,  while  Covey 


was  in  a  worse  predicament  one  of  his  team  had  the  lung 
fever,  and  it  looked  as  if  Covey's  forfeit  was  gone.  It  was 
necessary  to  have  the  veterinary,  his  coming  to  the^track 
to  visit  Covey's  horses  would  be  noticed  and  of  course,  Eoff 
would  put  up  the  balance  of  the  money.  This  was  avoided, 
however,  by  Dr.  A.  de  Tavel  going  to  the  track  at  one.  two 
and  three  o'clock  in  the  morning,  his  coming  and 
going  being  uonoticed.  Daniels  would  make  early  morn- 
ing trials  with  Covey's  team,  using  a  substitute  for  the 
sick  horse,  and  many  reports  were  circulated  as  to 
the  speed  shown,  the  skeleton  wagon  always  in  sight 
in  front  of  the  stable  showing  use,  was  evident  that  the 
team  had  been  worked,  and  the  reports  of  the  fast  trials 
reaching   Eoff,   he  paid   forfeit. 

Lunch  over,  we  wander  around  the  stable's  looking 
at  the  horses  until  the  crowd  began  to  arrive  to 
see  the  afternoon's  sport.  Among  the  large  number 
present  we  notice:  John  Livingston,  Charles  Hos- 
mer,  Steve  Whipple,  H.  C.  Nudd,  Fred  Meyers,  Gus.  Guer-

The  horses  were  called  up  sharp  at  2  p.  M.;  the  race  was 
between  Rosa  and  Alecia,  Charley  and  Jenny  Noyes  not  hav- 
ing speed  enough  to  make  any  kind  ofashow.  Rosa  Living- 
ston won  in  three  straight  heats,  although  Alecia  Mandeville 
gave  her  quite  a  horse  race,  as  the  following  summary  will 
show :

Dan  Lawrence  has  a  new  pacing  wonder  in  his  Cropsey 
611y. 

Millard  Sanders  says  that  Oakwood  Park  colts  will  win 
their  share  of  the  purses  this  fall. 

Monroe  Salisbury's  late  purchase,  Don  Lowell,  stepped  an 
eighth  in  15}  seconds  last  Saturday. 

The  white  mare  Nellie  H.,  by  Richmond,  is  being  worked 
at  the  Pleasanton  track  by  Dan  Lawrence. 

John  Kelly  writes  from  Denver  that  he  is  highly  pleased 
with  his  string  up  there  and  will  start  East  soon  after  the 
Denver  races. 

General  A.  L.  Hart's  Director  filly,  dam  Almonta,  is  now 
in  the  hands  of  Andy  McDowell.  The  filly  is  three  years 
old  and  is  quite  speedy. 

Charles  James  give  Direct  daily  exercise  hitched  to  a  skel- 
eton wagon.  The  horse  is  thick  fat  and  will  have  to  go  muny 
miles  yet  before  he  will  be  in  shape  for  a  race. 

Ira  Ramsdell,  of  San  Francisco,  was  up  Wednesday  to  see 
his  Dexter  Prince  colt  that  is  now  in  the  hands  of  J.  M.  Al- 
viso.  He  is  very  proud  of  this  youngster  whose  dam  is  full 
sister  to  Saladin. 

Rosa  C,  the  big  brown  pacing  mare  by  Oregon  Pathfinder, 
is  rounding  to  in  splendid  shape  under  the  management  of 
that  skillful  reinsmao,  Andy  McDowell.  Rosa  C.  has  a 
record  of  2:16}. 

Ed.  Sanders  will  mt  take  his  horses  to  Montana  if  the  other 
meetings  follow  suit  by  giving  purses  that  horsemen  can  take 
expenses  outof,  as  the  T.  H.  B.  A.,  and  Golden  Gate  Associa- 
tion have  done. 

A.  A.  Miller  has  a  couple  of  good  colts  at  the  Pleasanton 
track  in  Abel  Wilkes,  by  Clarence  Wilkes,  he  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
dam  San  Luis  Belle  and  Miller's  Damsel,  by  Guide,  dam  ian 
Luis  Belle.  Mr.  Miller  is  jogging  Abel  Wilkes  and  several 
young  Directors  at  the  track. 

San  Luis  Belle,  by  O'Donohue,  he  by  General  McClellan, 
dam  Maria  Belle,  by  Belle  Alta,  by  Williamson's  Belmont,  is 
iD  foal  to  Direct.  L.  C.  Crellin  leased  the  mare  for  a  year 
and  bred  her  last  season.  The  mare  is  credited  with  winning 
a  three-heat  race  in  2:28  as  a  four-year-old. 

The    Napa    Meeting. 


State  Veterinary  Medical  Association. 

Dr.  Hume  A.  Spencer  of  San  Jose,  President  of  the  State 
Veterinary  Medical  Association,  at  a  meeting  of  that  organi- 
zation in  San  Francisco  last  week,  delivered  an  nddress, 
during  which,  after  brief  introductory  remarKs,  he  said: 

"  In  addressing  you  on  this  occasion,  I  have  deemed  it  best 
to  offer  my  idea  of  what  a  veterinaroian,  both  socially  and 
professionally,  should  be.  To  my  notion  a  veterinarian  should 
possess  all  the  attributes  of  a  gentleman;  his  education  should 
be  of  a  high  order ;  he  should  be  devoted  to  his  profession, 
ever  analyzing  new  theories,  eagerly  delving  for  knowledge 
that  may  be  pro6tably  applied  to  the  amelioration  of  the  ills 
and  injuries  of  such  patients  as  he  may  be  summoned  to  at- 
tend. It  is  his  duty  to  strictly  adhere  to  the  ethics  of  his  pro- 
fession, always  bearinejn  mind  that  through  their  medium- 
ship  only  can  the  dignity  of  his  avocation  be  sustained.  He 
should  cultivate  a  sympathetic  feeling  for  those  unfortunates 
which  the  merciful  owner  seeks  his  services  to  relieve.  Noth- 
ing so  thoroughly  disgusts  a  client  as  unnecessary  infliction 
of  pain,  or  a  rough,  coarse  tone  or  manner.  Honesty  to  pa- 
trons is  a  policy  that  none  can  afford  to  forego,  for  while  we 
may  secure  a  valuable  fee  by  deception,  we  will  most  cer- 
tainly incur  a  suspicion  that  will  not  stop  with  the  agrieved 
party. 

"  Ours  is  a  profession  acquired  by  close  application  extend- 
ing over  a  number  of  years  varying  in  period  according  to 
the  curriculum  that  the  several  schools  or  colleges  may  dictate, 
aud  he  that  would  be  successful  must  acquit  himself  of  the 
intention  to  amass  more  than  a  simple  competency;  he 
should  espouse  the  profession  of  a  veterinarian  not  to  get 
wealthy,  but  for  the  higher  and  nobler  reason,  the  love  of  the 
cause.  There  is  no  employment  among  all  the  vocations  of 
life  more  grand,  more  honorable  or  commendable  than  that 
of  the  individual  who  from  love  of  the  creatures  given  to  man 
for  bio  use  and  companionship  has,  by  arduous  study,  keen 
sympathy  and  energy  prepared  himself  for  the  cure  or  ameli- 
oration of  their  infirmities  and  to  curb  the  propensities  that 
many  of  their  diseases  have  to  attack  the  life  and  health  of 
the  human  race. 

"  The  science  of  veterinary  medicine  and  surgery  consists 
of  a  knowledge  of  the  structure,anatomy  and  physiology  of  the 
economy  of  the  domesticated  animal,  i*itb  an  intelligent  dis- 
criminating cognition  of  their  pathological  symptoms  and 
treatment,  their  relationship  when  diseased  with  regard  to 
communitability  of  the  same  to  mankii  d;  hence  an  intelligent 
understanding  and  application  of  bacteriology  must  prove  of 
inestimable  importance  in  respect  to  checking  the  ravages  of 
infectious  and  contagious  diseases,  and  should  be  a  part  of  the 
veterinarian's  stock  in  trade,  to  whose  vigilance  as  a  sanitar- 
ian the  world  must  ultimately  acknowledge  a  debt  of  grati- 
tude. 

"  A  year  has  now  passed  since,  through  the  almost  super- 
human exertions  of  this  association,  an  enactment  for  the  par- 
tial protection  of  veterinary  medicine  and  surgery  was  piloted 
through  the  windings  and  sinuosities  of  the  Senate  and  As- 
sembly of  the  State  of  California.  A  statutory  enactment 
passed  and  signed  by  tbe  Governor,  that  is  acknowledged  to 
be  the  best  law  of  like  nature  in  the  United  Stales,  affords  a 
very  good  foundation  for  subsequent  amendments.  It  dictates 
a  distinction  between  the  veterinarian  and  the  empiric  that 
the  public  are  by  no  means  slow  in  appreciating.  This  is 
demonstrated  in  the  fact  that  now  the  former's  services  are 
sought  for  in  nearly  all  instances  where  a  professional  atten- 
dance is  necessary  ;  while  on  the  other  hand  the  quack  is  con- 
tinually reminded  of  the  fact  that  legally  and  morally  he  is 
restrained  from  practice,and  can  only  participate  in  the  same 
by  evasion.  He  is  only  tolerated,  not  patronized.  These  re- 
minders place  him  in  the  very  unenviable  position  that,  un- 
less he  be  devoid  of  pride,  he  will  seek  a  more  congenial  and 
lucrative  position." 

Tbe  work,  however,  he  said,  had  just  begun.  More  string- 
ent laws  and  sanitary  regulations  are  needed.  "  The  medical 
profession,"  he  said, '*  though  dilatory,  are  finally  realizing 
our  importance  as  co-operators  in  the  great  work  of  protect- 
ing humanity  from  the  inroads  of  pestilence  and  disease,  and 
contributes  plying  our  avocition  to  the  promotion  and  long- 
iuity  of  mankind,  and  by  their  sympathy  and  support  much 
can  be  accomplished  toward  the  final  successful  termination 
of  our  rights.  A  dignified  and  courteous  demeanor,  a  studied 
regard  for  veterinary  ethics,  sandwiched  with  determined 
honesty,  must  certainly  tend  more  to  give  us  the  social  status 
that  secures  prestige  and  begets  respect, and  will  go  far  toward 
elevating  tbe  veterinary  profession  to  a  standard  which  will 
place  it  on  an  equal  footing  with  its  sister  profession." 

Is  Your  Mare  Barren? 


Napa,  Cal.,  March  6,  1894. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — On  Monday  evening, 
March  5,  1894,  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of 
Napa  Agricultural  District,  No.  25,  upon  due  consideration 
of  the  number  and  quality  of  the  entries  made  for  the  fall 
racing,  it  wa«  deemed  advisable  to  declare  all  races  off  for  the 
present.  This  course  was  adopted  with  feeling  of  regret  and 
great  reluctance  on  the  part  of  the  Board,  but  the  interests 
of  the  Association  manifestly  demanded  such  a  procedure. 

The  Association,  feeling  very  kindly  toward  those  who 
have  contributed  their  name  to  the  list  of  entries,  desire  to 
express  their  thanks  to  all  that  have  done  so,  and  trust  that 
their  names  will  respond  to  another  call  for  entries  which  it 
is  hoped  that  the  Board  will  soon  feel  justified  in  making. 
Respectfully  Tuos.  A.  Bell,  Sec'y. 

Joe  Narvaez  is  likely  to  be  reinstated  within  the  next 

few  days.     This   very   clever   jockey   has   been  sufficiently 

punished  for  his  actions,  and  that  he  will   tread   the    path   of 

righteousness  in  future  is  almost  certain.  If  reinstated  he  will 

I  ride  for  A.  B.  Spreckels. 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use 
an  impregnator.  It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  im- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  ef- 
fective when  everything  else  has  failed  Several  sets  for  sale 
at  reduced  prices.  Can  be  seen  at  this  office.  Address,

Speaking  of  horses  at  Louisville,  the  Courier-Journal 
says  that  Azra's  return  to  the  turf  will  add  interest  to  the 
trials  of  the  Eashford  Manor  horses.  Huron's  conqueror  in 
one  of  the  most  remarkable  Derbies  ever  run  is  being  trained 
again  after  a  year  in  the  stud,  and  bids  fair  to  renew  his  old 
reputation  for  bulldog  courage.  It  is  to  be  hoped  thai  be  will 
be  as  good  as  ever,  for  the  stable  seems  weak  in  its  older  di- 
vision, with  Plutus  and  Selika  about  the  best  of  the  four  aud 
three -year- olds  respectively.  The  youngsters,  however,  are  a 
good-looking  lot,  and  may  include  some  crackerjacks.  They 
number  sixteen,  being  by  old  Alarm  and  Pardee,  outof  highly 

bred  mares.

Eight  two-year-olds  arrived  Wednesday  at  Bay  District 
track  from  Bakersfield.  They  belong  to  the  well-known  turf- 
man, Charles  Kerr,  and  are  by  those  very  successful  sires, 
Apache  and  imp.  Mariner.  One  of  the  youngsters  is  a  half- 
brother  to  the  very  speedy  Eclipse.  The  colts  are  a  grand- 
looking,  well-developed  lot,  and  are  expected  to  render  a 
good  account  of  themselves.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  .A^fD  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH    CAIRN    SIMPSON. 


Occidextal  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. — 
My  attention  was  called  to  an  article  which  might  have 
been  meant  for  an  argument  against  the  organization  of  the 
Occidental,  though  in  place  of  logic  mere  assertions,and  these 
without  any  better  foundation  than  assumption.  In  fact,  the 
whole  opposition  may  be  said  to  be  confined  to  a  few  indivi- 
duals and  the  California  State  Agricultural  Society.  The 
only  adverse  reply  to  the  notices  sent  all  over  tbe  coast  before 
the  convention  was  held  came  from  the  secretary  of  the  State 
institution  and  that  only  was  given  as  the  opinion  of  the 
President  and  Secretary,  inasmuch  as  a  meeting  of  the  direc- 
tors would  not  be  held  in  time.  Admitting  that  tbe  action  of 
the  Board  will  be  in  accordance  with  that  expressed  opinion, 
I  cannot  see  where  it  has  any  more  bearing  on  the  question 
at  issue  than  any  other  association,  excepting  that  it  pays  a 
larger  membership  fee  than  those  of  lower  classification. 
How  many  other  members  of  the  first  class,  outside  of  the 
Slate  Fair  and  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.,  in  the  section  which 
should  naturally  come  within  the  scope  of  the  Occidental  1 
am  unable  to  say,  but  so  far  as  right  and  justice  go  the  smaller 
associations  have  just  as  good  claims  as  the  larger,  and  this 
right  is  acknowledged  by  both  the  older  iostituions. 
In  fact  the  smaller  has  more  to  gain  by  contiguity 
to  headquarters  than  those  which  have  the  means  to  send 
delegates  to  far-away  conventions  aud  advocates  on  a  journey 
of  thousands  of  miles  to  plead  their  cases.  Home  rule  is  of 
ultra  importance  to  people  who  cannot  afford  to  travel  across 
a  continent  to  attend  legislative  sessions,  neither  do  they 
solicit  the  favor  of  being  taxed  to  furnish  the  means  for  a 
junketing  trip  to  New  York  or  Chicago.  That  is  what  mem- 
bership in  the  N.  T.  A.  means,  and  to  make  the  fact  as  ag- 
gravating as  possible  the  treasurer  publishes  that  the  expense 
of  carrying  the  California  end  of  the  business  is  greater  than 
the  receipts.  "Poor,  repining,  kicking  mortals"  be  vir- 
tually says,  in  the  transcript  which  Air.  Steiner  read  in  the 
presence  of  the  convention  :  "  Here  is  one  item  of  $500,  do- 
nated by  the  society  that  has  done  so  much  for  you,  that  has 
been,  and  is,  ready  and  wil'ing  to  settle  transportation  and 
hotel  bills,  and  something  beyond,  to  keep  you  subservient, 
and  yet  you  are  not  satisfied."  Charity  is  the  greatest  of  all 
the  tenets  we  are  taught,  and  yet  it  is  not  pleasant  to  have  it 
flaunted  in  one's  face,  especially  when  it  has  not  been 
solicited.  At  all  events,  that  one  big  item  which  has  given  so 
much  prominence  as  it  was  by  publication  in  a  "  turf  paper  *' 
has  been  squared  by  a  fine  of  the  same  amount,  and  let  us 
hope  that  in  the  next  publication  that  eleemosynary  contri- 
bution to  California  will  be  duly  acknowledged  as  paid  in 
full. 

Not  another  response  opposed  to  organizing  the  home 
Bocietv  from  any  association,  outside  of  tne  State  Fair,  only 
one  other  that  was  at  all  non-committal.  The  votes  showed 
that  there  was  striking  unanimity  inasmuch  as  those  in  the 
negative  were  cast  by  members  of  the  Board  of  Appeals  of 
the  N.  T.  A.  Had  the  delegate  from  two  associations  ap- 
peared in  person  there  would  have  been  barely  one  vote  in 
opposition,  so  that  the  home  popularity  of  the  movement 
is  placed  beyond  the  pale  of  controversy. 

There  is  something  analagous  between  the  start  of  the 
National  and  the  Occidental.  There  were  doubts  in  regard 
to  securing  funds  for  expenses.  Printing  of  course  would  be 
quite  an  item,  with  Constitution,  By-Laws  and  Rules  to  pro- 
vide for.  But  Hon.  Amasa  Sprague  volunteered  to  provide 
whatever  was  necessary,  his  private  Secretary  George  L. 
Smith  should  do  the  clerical  work  and  his  office  in  Provi- 
dence, R.  I.,  should  be  the  headquarters. 

The  secretary  elected  virtually  occupies  the  same  position  so 
far,  at  least,  as  furnishing  facilities  forthe  transaction  of  the 
business;  and  he  has  taken  upon  himself  the  task  of  looking 
after  the  clerical  work  with  the  certainty  that  for  a  time  there 
will  be  small  compensation;  without  the  proffered  assistance 
the  project  could  not  have  been  carried  through.  When  the 
membership  embraces  all  the  associations  and  tracks  in  the  ter- 
ritory which  will  be  within  the  scope  of  this  association, 
equal  sums  to  those  that  have  been  paid  to  the  Eastern  in- 
stitutions will  afford  a  reasonable  remuneration  for  those  who 
do  the  work,  as  a  necessary  corollary,  economy  being  strictly 
observed.  That  in  the  course  of  a  year  that  will  be  the  situa- 
tion is  assured,  as  the  benefits  will  be  apparent,  but  until  then 
1  do  not  know  of  anyone  as  efficient  as  Mr.  Kelley  who 
would  undertake  the  venture  There  is  aguarantae  that  no 
member  will  be  taxed  a  larger  sum  than  that  heretofore  paid, 
and  I  have  not  the  least  hesitation  in  also  warranting  that 
the  work  will  be  as  well  done  as  if  the  officers  received  cor- 
responding salaries  to  those  paid  in  the  East. 

The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  in  offering  free  rental, 
and  facilities  for  doing  the  business  wilhout  charge,  will  gain 
advantage  from  the  office  of  the  association  being  so  located. 
Not  a  very  decided  advantage  at  present,  though  prospectively 
better.  But  it  has  also  a  deep  interest  in  the  future  of  horse 
affairs  on  this  coast,  as  the  well  doing  of  breeders  and  owners 
and  that  of  the  paper  cannot  be  separated.  The  manager 
baing  of  the  same  belief  as  those  who  voted  for  the  organiza- 
tion that  it  would  be  beneficial,  joined  so  heartily  in  the 
seheme  as  to  offer,  on  the  part  of  tbe  paper  and  himself,  co- 
operation of  the  heartiest  kind.  That  was  the  key  to  tbe 
situation.  With  that  assistance  and  the  almost  unanimous 
desire,  as  expressed  by  letters  from  all  parts  of  the  country, 
that  home  government  should  be  inaugurated  there  was  no 
doubt  of  ultimate  success,  I  muBt  acknowledge  tha',  the  few 
malcontents  have  managed  to  secure  an  endorsement  which 
of  but  little  weight  at  home  might  have  an  influence  abroad, 
though  in  the  endeavor  to  support  by  misrepresentation, 
when  the  truth  will  not  answer  their  purpose,  their  cause 
must  be  of  the  weakest.  Thus  to  say  that  due  publicity  wis 
not  given,  when  notices  of  the  approaching  convention  were 
sent  to  every  association  on  the  west  side  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains;  when  week  after  week  it  was  one  of  the  main 
topics  discussed  in  this  department  of  the  paper  and  also  in 
the  editorial  columns,  when  the  Eastern  turf  journals  com- 
mented npnn  it,  and  the  meeting  wns  attended  by  the  second 
Vice-President,  two  of  the  members  of  the  Pacific  Board  of 
Appeals  of  tbe  National,  and  the  secretary  of  the  Ameri- 
can, people  here  cannot  be  humbugged  with  any  such  silly 
charges.  Neither  will  the  pang  of  jealousy  which  has  caused 
other  nonsensical  contortions  have  the  desired  effect,  and 
the  proflered  advice,  unless  supported  by  arguments  which 
have  the  semblance  of  soundness  be  of  no  avail. 


"  Height  and  Length." — A  writer  in  the  American 
Horse  Breedeer  takes  the  ground  that  "short  horses  "are 
shaped  the  best  for  speed.  He  gives  three  lists — "  long,  even 
and  short."  Under  the  first  classification  are  those  which 
are  longer  than  higb,  the  second  equal  and  the  third  shorter 
than  their  height.  Fifteen  thoroughbreds  are  divided  into 
three,  four  and  eight  in  the  order  mentioned,  and  fifty-three 
trotters  seven,  twelve  and  thirty-four  being  the  relative  pro- 
portion. These,  of  course,  are  celebrities,  the  brightest  stars, 
when  brilliancy  is  measured  by  speed  on  the  tracks,  being  in 
the  short  division.  Were  the  data  reliable  on  which  these 
estimates  were  formed  his  contention  would  be  sound,  but  as 
that  was  one  hundred  photographs,  the  evidence  is  not  truth- 
ful. In  very  rare  instances  does  the  camera  give  the  relative 
proportions  correctly.  Even  with  the  animal  standing  at 
right  angles  to  the  instrument  the  "  length  "  is  incorrect, 
inasmuch  as  the  lines  diverging  from  the  focus  are  intercepted 
by  tbe  nearest  portion  of  "  shoulder  and  buttock,"  the  brisket 
and  extreme  posterior  portion  of  the  quarter  being  hidden. 
With  a  trifle  of  obliqueness  the  body  is  foreshortened,  and 
those  who  have  pictured  horses  with  the  aid  of  the  camera 
know  how  difficult  it  is  to  obtain  a  position  which  will  be 
satisfactory  when  the  object  is  to  get  a  correct  side  view. 

English  writers  of  half  a  century  ago  claimed  that  a  horse 
to  be  in  the  best  form  should  be  one  tenth  longer  than  his 
height,  but  in  well-bred  horses  this  is  so  rire  that  I  have 
never  seen  one  in  that  proportion  ;  more  correct  to  say  had 
never  measured  one  of  that  kind.  I  have  a  tine  English 
print  of  Beeswing,  from  a  painting  by  Herring,  which  is 
rather  more  than  one-tenth  longer '' from  point  of  hip  to 
point  of  buttock,"  than  from  bottom  of  foot  to  withers.  It 
has  been  retained  when  some  twenty  others  of  race  horse 
celebrity  were  given  away,  that  of  tbe  dam  of  Newminster 
being  so  nearly  my  idea  of  "  speedy  formation,"  that  it  was 
kept  as  a  "model."  With  all  the  predeliction  for  that 
lengthy,  high-quality  animal,  there  was  a  due  appreciation 
of  evenness,  in  the  meaning  given  in  the  A.  H.  B.,  as  the  fol- 
lowing extract  from  Horse  Portraiture  will  show.  While 
there  are  recommendations  in  that  book  which  would  not  be 
so  confidently  urged  now  as  when  that  was  written,  about 
twenty-seven  years  ago,  the  quoted  passage  is  still  appropri- 
ate to  express  my  views  on  that  point. 

Pupil — I  would  like  to  hear  your  ideas  of  long  and  short 
horses.  *  *  *  While  the  almost  universal  idea  is, 
that  a  horse  "  as  long  as  a  rail  "  is  in  the  best  form,  I  cannot 
coincide  in  that  view. 

Preceptor — We  have  had  two  striking  illustrations  that 
either  form  is  compatible  with  a  very  high  rate  of  speed, 
Flying  Childers  and  English  Eclipse.  To  have  length  of 
stride  a  horse  must  have  length  of  body  or  of  hind  leg.  When 
length  of  body  results  from  a  wide,  sloping  shoulder,  a  long 
bip  and  full  quarters,  with  the  middle  piece  well  made  and 
strong,  I  would  have  no  objections  to  a  horse  that  is  "very 
lengthy."  Should  it  arise  from  a  long  back  and  slack  loin, 
he  might  do  to  run  a  short  distance,  but  would  not  be  likely 
to  go  far  and  fast,  and  drag  or  carry  much  weight.  I  am 
better  pleased  with  a  medium  length,  and  when  a  horse 
measures  as  much  from  the  point  of  the  shoulder  to  the  point 
of  the  buttock,  as  he  does  from  the  ground  to  the  t^p  of  his 
withers,  I  am  satisfied.  Should  he  be  one-tenth  longer  than 
he  is  high,  with  the  requisites  I  hsve  heretofore  spoken  of, 
he  would  still  do.  These  would  form  the  extremes  in  my 
j  udgment,  and  I  would  not  like  a  horse  to  fall  on  either  side 
of  these  measurements." 

Among  the  short  horses  in  the  list  referred  to  were  St. 
Julien  and  Occident,  the  latter  mentioned  as  being  "much 
shorter  than  tall."  Both  of  these  I  measured  carefully,  St. 
Julien  being  63]-  inches  high  and  64  inches  long,  Occident 
(il  inches  for  both  measurements.  Palo  Alto  is  also  put  in 
the  short  division  and  a  few  days  after  he  trotted  in  2:23f, 
when  a  two-year-old  the  tape  was  called  into  use.  The  follow- 
ing was  printed  at  the  time:  "He  is  15|  hands  in  height, 
and  from  point  of  shoulder  to  point  of  buttock  the  same. 
This  is  a  good  proportion  in  our  estimation,  and  though  some 
prefer  a  greater  length  there  is  apt  to  be  a  lack  of  finish  when 
a  parallelogram  in  place  of  a  square  is  the  shape.  He  is  deep 
through  the  heart  measuring  seventy  inches  around  the 
girth  and  his  barrel  is  well-ribbed  and  strong." 

I  have  oftentimes  thought — and  this  last  sentence  recalls 
the  question — that  in  place  of  drawing  proportion  by  height 
from  the  ground  to  top  of  withers  and  the  length 
from  brisket  to  buttock,  a  better  test  would  be  the 
depth  of  the  chest  and  length  of  the  body.  It  is  evident  that 
a  light  girth  and  short  back  ribs  would  not  be  in  harmony 
with  a  long  body,  and  the  reverse  shape  would  make  an  ani- 
mal appear  "pudgy,"  when  the  more  slender  form  would  be 
symmetrical  with  the  same  range. 

I  have  a  table  before  me  giving  the  various  measurements 
of  St.  Julien,  Occident,  Dexter,  Lecompte,  Leviathan, 
Eclipse  and  Doubloon.  Their  heights  in  the  same  rotation  as 
their  names :  63},  Gl,  62,  64,  61,  60,  63  inches.  Their  lengths : 
64,  61,  62,  62,  69,  65},  64  inches.  From  elbow  to  ground  :  36, 
36},  36$,  36,  37},  36},  351  inches.  Round  the  body  at  the 
girth  is  an  important  factor,  and  this  is  represented  by  73A, 
651,  68},  69,  72,  74,  71  inches.  Thus  Occident  being  the 
smallest  in  the  chest  and  the  shortest  in  the  body  was  better 
balanced  than  if  he  had  been  as  long  as  Leviathan,  and  while 
Doubloon  was  an  inch  lower,  had  he  been  as  short  as  Occi- 
dent he  would  have  appeared  to  be  all  in  a  heap.  Girth,  at 
chest  and  round  the  flank,  over  the  loin,  will  be  better  to  de- 
termine proportion  than  from  elbow  to  ground,  or  height  at 
withers,  but  in  order  to  do  the  subject  justice  tables  must  be 
prepared  which  will  show  at  a  glance  the  data  for  compari- 
son, and  these  will  be  given  when  the  topic  is  resumed.

The  Cap  Sheaf — The  following  startling  pronunciamento, 
cut  from  a  paper  I  have  not  read  for  years,  was  handed  me 
with  a  request  that  it  be  noticed.  The  mere  republication  is 
notice  enough  to  those  who  are  at  all  familiar  with  the  rea- 
sons for  organizing  a  home  society,  and  though  the  barefaced 
mendacity  mav  possibly  mislead  some  of  the  Eastern  readers 
of  that  paper,  there  is  not  a  stable  boy  on  this  side  so  ignor- 
ant as  to  be  imposed  upon  by  such  palpable  falsehood. 

In  the  first  place  the  delegates  present  represented  associa- 
tions which  stand  as  high  as  any  on  either  side  of  the  conti- 
nent and  "  track  owners  "  is  no  more  fitted  to  this  case  than 
it  would  have  been  to  ihnse  who  met  in  New  York  in  1870  to 
organize  the  National.  That  is  of  little  consequence,  however, 
furLh[]-  than  to  show  the  animus  of  the  writer. 

The    "grievance"    of  records   made  in  California  being 


'  questioned  as  one  of  the  causes  for  "  rebellion  "  is  too  farci- 
cal to  merit  other  reply  than  that  it  was  never  mentioned, 
never  thought  of  until  it  was  brought  forward  in  this  pro- 
found contention.  Too  ridiculous  to  impose  on  the  shallow- 
est comprehension,  for  if  that  had  been  an  evil  to  correct,  a 
new  Registry  association  would  heve  been   the  remedy. 

I  would  be  pleased  to  comply  with  the  request  of  those  good 
friends  who  wish  an  answer  put  on  file  to  the  charges  em- 
bodied in  the  editorial  copied.  But  really  they  have  over- 
rated my  powers,  as  after  due  reflection  and  careful  scrutiny 
of  the  points  presented,  can  find  nothing  that  will  sanction  a 
serious  reply.  Let  us  group  them  divested  of  tha  word  pad- 
ding— "questioned  records " — the  man  of  straw  put  up  to 
demolish.  "Horses  from  the  Coast"  contend  for  the  rich 
prizes  of  the  Orient.  No  more  of  that  if  persistent  in  adhering 
to  home  rule,  neither  Coast  entrance  money  or 
Coast  horses  wanted.  "  Non-payment  of  entrance  money." 
Those  who  can  afford  the  Eastern  trip  will  not  be  likely  to 
leave  debts  of  that  kind  at  home,  and  uuder  the  present  ar- 
rangements delinquents  to  the  State  Fair  could  trot  at  Wash- 
ington Park  without  the  bill  being  presented.  Glad  to  learn 
that  if  "California  horsemen  wish  to  flock  by  themselves  the 
East  will  not  complain."  What  tbe  odds  if  they  did  ?  Also 
intensely  gratified  to  learn  that  there  will  be  no  tears  shed 
when  California  "  breeders  do  not  want  any  of  our  money" 
Abundant  nerve  when  such  a  catastrophe  can  be  borne  with- 
out wailing  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  Who  on  this  wide  and 
long  coast  has  "quibbled"  over  records.  That  has  been  a  pre- 
empted claim,  a  copyrighted  venture,  secured  by  letters  pat- 
tent  to  tbe  writer  of  the  copied  paragragh,  for  so  long  that  he 
has  a  clear  title  by  pnsession  for  _the  requisite  period  to  keep 
all  the  trespassers  off  of  his  domain.  Who  among  all  of  the 
supporters  of  the  Occidental  has  thought  it  good  policy  to 
"object  to  an  inquirv  into  the  manner  of  obtaining  rec- 
ords ?" 

Let  me  add  some  of  the  dire  results  that  are  sure  to  follow 
the  establishment  of  the  Occidental,  everyone  just  as  reason- 
able to  expect  as  those  prognosticated  by  the  New  York 
authority.  Earthquakes,  tremblors  which  will  out-class  that 
of  1S6S  as  far  as  Nancy  H  mks  does  a  prize  hackney.  An 
epidemic,  cholera,  small-pox,  la  grippe,  measles,  whooping 
cough,  colt-distemper,  glanders,  corns  and  bunions,  all  com- 
bine raging  over  the  whole  territory  which  becomts  tainted 
with  the  disease  of  doing  its  own  business.  A  Chinese  wall 
topping  the  top  of  the  backbone  of  the  continent,  with  ne'er 
a  gap  for  a  coast  horse  or  a  coast  supporter  of  home  rule  to 
squeeze  through  on  his  way  to  contend  for  the  rich  prizes  of 
the  Orient, 

To  escape  the  fearful  penalties  transgression  has  evoked,  it 
will  be  an  absolute  requirement  before  absolution  is  grauted 
I  that  the  "wise  counsels"  of  this  learned  commentator  are 
accepted  as  true  teachiHgs,and  that  all  who  were  instrumental  ■ 
in  favoring  "  the  rebellion  "  had  small  conception  ofthe  haz- 
ards, small  knowledge  of  what  should  be  beneficial  to  them- 
selves and  neighbors. 

When  President  Johnson's  telegram  was  read  in  which  he 
claimed  that  the  organization  of  a  third  society  would  still 
further  depreciate  the  price  of  trotting  and  pacing  horses  I 
thought  he  underrated  the  intelligence  of  the  people  he  ad- 
dressed. This  wonderful  proclamation  goes  further  and 
either  means  that  the  readers  of  the  paper  in  which  it  ap- 
pears are  supremely  ignorant  of  the  question  discussed  or 
let  the  reader   till  the   blank  after  perusing  a  verba- 


tum  copy  of  the  article: 

PACIFIC   COAST    TRACKS. 

"At  a  meeting  of  track  owners  in  San  Francisco,  March  7, 
it  was  decided  to  form  tbe  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  and  Pacing 
Association.  The  tracks  which  have  held  certificates  of 
membership  in  the  National  and  American  trotting  Associa- 
tions are,  if  the  decision  holds  good,  to  set  up  for  themselves. 
One  grievance  against  the  more  eastern  organizations  is  that 
some  of  the  records  made  in  California  have  been  questioned. 
This  is  a  poor  excuse  for  rebellion.  Very  few  horses  this 
side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  compete  for  the  purses  of  the 
Pacific  Coast,  but  many  horses  from  the  coast  are  nominated 
and  start  for  the  rich  prizes  of  the  vast  section  over  which 
the  National  and  American  Trotting  Association  have  juris- 
diction. When  these  far  western  horses  come  East  they  are 
subject  to  the  track  laws  in  force  on  this  side  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains.  If  they  are  under  penalty  on  the  Pacific  Coaet 
for  the  non-payment  of  eutrance  money,  they  can  start  here 
because  there  is  no  arrangement  for  enforcing  the  decrees  of 
an  outside  authority.  The  Pacific  Coast  tracks  will  thus  pay 
rather  dearly  for  the  pride  of  independent  government.  If 
California  horsemen  wish  to  flock  by  themselves,  the  East 
will  not  complain.  Here  in  New  Y'ork  alone  hundreds  of 
thousands  of  dollars  have  been  paid  under  the  hammer  for 
Pacific  Coast  bred  horses.  If  these  breeders  do  not  want  any 
more  of  our  money,  we  shall  not  cry.  We  frankly  say  to 
them,  however,  that  quibbling  over  records  will  not  help 
them.  Those  who  bid  on  Califoruia-bred  horses  in  New 
Y'ork  will  want  to  know  whether  the  time  reported  made  was 
actually  made.  It  is  poor  policy  to  object  to  an  inquiry  into 
the  manner  of  obtaining  records.  Some  of  our  California 
friends  have  been  led  into  error.  Wiser  counsels  should  pre- 
vail than  those  which  governed  the  convention  of  March  7."

Horsesakd  Health. — "  Arnaree"  in  b.is  notes  of  a  visit 
to  the  Oakland  track  among  other  items,  writes:  "Early  in 
the  morning  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson  can  be  seen  behind  one  of 
his  young  trotters  *  *  *  For  his  years,  he  is  a  remarka- 
bly preserved  man,  and,  to  the  perfect  health  which  he  en- 
joys, is  not  his  love  and  enjoyment  of  good  horses  to  be  attri- 
buted ?"  All  very  well  as  far  as  it  goes,  as  it  is  beyond4ques- 
tion  that  health  gives  a  keener  zest  to  any  enjoyment.  But 
that  robust  health  is  greatly  dependent  upon  plenty  of  exer- 
cise is  also  acknowledged  by  the  shrewdest  observers  and 
there  is  something  connected  with  exercise  in  connection 
with  horses  especially  beneficial.  Riding  or  driving  with  a 
due  share  of  walking  exercise  is  worth  all  the  panaceas  in 
the  world,  superior  in  fact  to  the  whole  list  of  drug-;  in  the 
materia  medica,  without  there  is  some  serious  derangement  of 
the  system  which  requires  a  physician  to  treat.  And  with  the 
aid  <  f  horses,  and  a  willingness  to  make  the  most  out  of  the 
good  things  of  this  life,  the  humanjuiachine  will  ruu  a  long 
time  without  agreat  deal  of  tinkering 

There  are  very  pleasant  experiences  to  aperson  who  has 
a  fondness  for  driving  fast  hnn-es,  inure  marked,  perhaps,"  hen 
the  driver  has  also  bred  the  animals.  A  keener  appreciation 
of  their  merits,more  anxiety  that  they  should  come  up  to  ex- 
pectations then  when  ownership  is  acquired  through  pur- 
chase. 

But  apart  from  superintending  the  education  of  youngsters

which  have  been  watched  from  the  date  of  their  birth,  there 
is  an  excitement  in  driving  fast  on  either   track  or   road, 
which  is  a  valuable  stimulant  without  the  drawbacks  which 
follow  other  excitements,  and  to  a  person  of  sedentary  occu- 
pation a  source  of  health.     Then  again  there  seems  to   be  a 
sanitary    effect    in    companionship     with    horses,   a   close 
association  appearing  to  have  a  potent  influence  for  good. 
Dean  Swift  realized  that  there  was  much  to  be  gained  from 
hor*e  life,  though  he  made  the  comparison  between  equine 
and  human  to  draw  a  picture  rather  too  gross  for  the  biped. 
That  the  horses  have  been  a  potent  factor  in  establishing 
my  health  and  physical  ability  to  a  point  that  many  regard 
with  surprise,  I  have  not  the  least  doubt,  and  that  others  can 
be  benefited  in  the  same  way  is  surely  good  logic.

Rev  del  Sierra— Mr.  Abrams,  of  Reno,  whom  I  met  on 
the  street  a  few  days  ago,  informed  me  that  Mr.  Winters  had 
just  received  a  letter  from  his  trainer  that  the  colts  had  win- 
tered remarkably  well,  and  that  the  "  big  colt"  could  not  be 
doing  any  better. 

They  are  in  Southern  Illinois  where  they  will  be  kept  un- 
til the  weather  is  favorable  further  north.  The  greatest  in- 
terest is  felt  in  the  brother  to  Yo  Tambien  and  I  am  not  alone 
in  prayio"  that  he  may  "come  to  the  post"  in  good  condition. 
So  far  as  can  be  determined  before  the  supreme  test  he  has  a 
eood  chance  to  be  the  "flower  of  the  family."  But  should  he 
equal  El  Rio  Rev  there  will  be  little  chance  to  repine,  and 
still  taking  appearance  for  a  guide,  without  there  are  strokes 
of  ill  fortune,  he  should  reach  that  mark,  and  not  entirely  be- 
vond  a  cbance  of  bettering  it. 

I  heard  quite  a  warm  discussion  in  Chicago  a  year  or  more 
aso  regarding  the  relative  merit  of  Emperor  of  Norfolk,  El 
Rio  Rev  and  Yo  Tambien,  each  having  stubborn  advocates 
for  first  place.  This  latest  offspring  of  Marion  may  simplify 
the  situation  though  how  El  Rio  Rey  can  be  relegated  to 
second  place,  no  matter  how  brilliant  the  performances  of  the 
younger,  is  not  easily  settled.

The  New  Jockey    Club. 


On  accouut  of  the  extreme  reticence  of  the  gentlemen 
composing  the  new  jockey  club,  very  little  can  be  learned 
about  the  amount  of  their  interests  in  the  affair.  Last  night's 
Report,  however,  claims  that  the  shares  (100  at  §4,000  each, 
or  $400  000  in  all)  are  apportioned  as  follows :  E.  Corrigan, 
$60  00o'-  Joe  and  Alex.  Ullman,  $60,000;  T.H.Williams, 
$4SOOo';  M.  A.  Gunst,  $48,000 ;  A.  B.  Spreckels,  $48,000 ; 
James  L.  Flood,  $48,000.  This  leaves  twenty-two  shares  of 
stock  not  accounted  for^  and  it  is  r       h-r 

Dwyer  may  come  in. 


That  Col.  Dan  M.  Burns  will  be  asked 
,,  a  largTmonetary  interest  in  the  new  association   is 

well-nigh  certain,  as  his  political  interest  is  most  desirable. 
George  Walbaum  is  said  to  be  in  the  deal  already— in  fact,  he 
Ls  credited  wilb  originating  the  whole  thing 

The  California  Jockey  Club  and  Blood  Horse  Association 
will  in  all  likelebood  finally  disband,  but  as  President  \\  Il- 
linois says  work  will  not  be  begun  on  the  new  track  for  at 
least  a  year  Mr.  Williams  and  his  associates  will  have  an  op- 
portunity of  earning  enough  at  old  Bay  District  track  mean- 
while to'liquidate  the  debts  of  the  Blood  Horse  Association, 
r»ountiDS  to  something  like  $50  000.  We  thought  it  very 
odd  if  Mr  Williams  had  been  frozen  out  by  his  friends, 
Messrs.  Corrigan,  Ullman  and  Flood,  especially  as  it  was 
known  that  the  young  racing  magnate  was  on  the  lookout  for 
a  good  site  lor  a  race  track  some  time  ago,  and  probably 
kniw  of  the  sheltered  tract  finally  selected. 

The  only  difference  between  the  gentlemen  of  the  new  as- 
sociation is  said  to  be  who  shall  control  it.  If  the 
Eastern  men  put  in  the  most  money  they 
will  expect  to  run  it,  and,  vice  versa  if  the  California 
gentlemen  have  the  largest  interests  they  will  expect  to 
have  control.  According  to  the  allotment,  Messrs.  Cor- 
riean  Ullman,  Walbaum  and  Dwyer  will  have  a  majority. 
In  fact  it  is  understood  that  the  Easterners  demand  a 
majority  of  the  shares,  as  they  originated  the  scheme.

The  following  stable  is  interesting,  covering  the  greatest 
winning  stallion  for  each  season  from  1870  to  1892.  The  age 
in  some  instances  indicate  what  a  glorious  record  the  stallion 
might  have  made  with  more  years  of  life.  For  example,  Lex- 
ington died  in  1875,  Leamington  in  1878,  Bonnie  Scotland  in 
1880,  Virgil  in  1887,  Billet  in  1888  and  Longfellow  in  1S93.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES.  | 

FIFTY  -FOURTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MARCH   21. 

ORM-PLAYERSwere  thrown  into 
spasms|of  grief  over  to-day's  racing. 
There  were  six  races,  and  five 
favorites  were  bowled  over.  The 
favorite  that  won  was  in  the  match, 
and  at  odds  of  3  to  5,  so  that  there 
•1  was  absolutely  no  consolation  worth 
5^4^  mentioning  to  be  dispensed  to  the 
~~;-;"  students.  The  track  was  in  perfect 
order,  and  the  time  made  in  every  event  was  fast.  Irving 
rode  two  winners,  and  other  successful  pilots  were  Steele,  C 
Weber,  Carr  and  Mclnerny. 

Venus  got  away  on  the  fly  and  in  front  in  the  first  race, 
and  was  never  headed,  though  Lady  Jane,  the  favorite,  made 
upalotofgrouod  and  was  beaten  but  half  a  length  at  the 
finish.  Gasser  looked  dangerous  a  sixteenth  from  home,  but 
quit  badly. 

Macbeth  II.,  who  won  the  Kentucky  Derby  of  1888,  had 
the  race  won  all  the  way  in  the  second  event,  with  the  com- 
fortable odds  of  5  to  1  againsi  him.  He  was  well-played  and 
-he  race  was  simply  a  romp  for  him.  Jennie  Deane  and  In- 
ferno finished  eyebrow  to  eyebrow,  the  place  going  to  the 
former.  Vandalight  ran  very  poorly. 

Sidney,  the  favorite,  led  to  the  homestretch  in  the  third 
race,  with  Cherokee  second.  Happy  Band,  an  8  to  1  shot, 
came  like  a  shot  in  the  homestretch,  and  won  by  one  and  a 
half  lengths  from  the  "  good  thing,"  Hillsdale  Chief,  who  is 
something  of  a  "  stretch  horse"  himself.  A  head  behind 
Hillsdale  Chief  was  Sidney,  who  beat  old  Bronco  but  a  neck. 
The  latter  was  backed  down  from  10  to  1  to  2.J  to  1.  .  He 
swerved  considerably  in  the  straight,  or  he  might  have  won. 
Border  Lassie  won  the  $500  match  at  about  six  furlongs 
by  two  and  one-half  lengths  easily  in  the  good  time  of  1:13}-. 
Flv  was  head-and-head  with  the  favorite  to  the  homestretch 
and  the  race  was  a  very  pretty  one.  > 

Alesia  led  from  "  eend  to  eend  "  in  the  fifth  race,  and  won 
by  two  lengths  in  record  time,  1:12}.  Melanie,  the  favorite, 
was  second,  a  length  in  front  of  Romair.  El  Reno,  who 
was  heavilv  played,  finished  a  poor  sort  of  fourth. 

Prince  Idle  and  Hercules  had  the  hurdle  race  to  them- 
selves, the  former  winning  by  a  nose.  The  favorite,  Zam- 
post,  was  not  one-two-three,  the  show  going  to  the  long  shot, 
Alfred  B.,  ridden  by  "  Galways  "  Galindo. 

SUilMAKIES. 

First  race,  for  two-year-olds,  purse  8300.    Half  a  mile. 

by   Verano— Belinda,  llo    pounds 


yards,  and  then  Bliss  looked  a  winner.  Ryland  came  up  with 
a  wet  sail  and  won  on  the  post  by  a  nose,  Bliss  second,  half  a 
length  from  Chula. 

Bill  Howard,  favorite,  won  by  a  short  neck  in  the  second 
race,  thanks  to  Madison's  superb  horsemanship,  while  Mid- 
get was  second,  a  head  from  Reno.  Half-way  down  the  home- 
stretch Bill  Howard  looked  a  beaten  horse.  It  was  a  great 
race,  and  ihe  run  in  1:02  was  excellent. 

Blizzard  beat  Zenobia  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  gradually 
improving  his  position  and  winning  in  the  extra  fast  time  of 
1:123 — really  a  faster  race  than  Alesia's  of  yesterday,  every- 
thing considered. 

Pescadorled  to  the  homestretch  in  the  handicap  by  several 
lengths,  then  Royal  Flush  took  command.  Centella  came 
fast  in  the  straight,  and  the  pair  locked  horns.  It  was  ding- 
dong  to  the  end,  the  pair  finishing  in  a  dead  heat,  with  Dolly 
McCone  one  and  one-half  lengths  away,  Amida  at  her  head. 
The  judges  disqualified  Royal  Flush  on  account  of  a  two- 
pound  shortage  in  weight,  placing  McConesecond  and  Amida 
third.     The  race  was  a  cracker,  being  run  in  1:41}. 

Templemore  won  the  last  race,  mile  and  a  quarter  hurdle, 
by  three  lengths  in  2:16J— just  three-quarters  of  a  second  be- 
hind the  world's  record.  Red  Cloud  was  second  and  Prince 
Idle,  the  pace-maker,  third.

FIFTY-FIFTH   DAY — THURSDAY,  MARCH  22. 

Again  the  talent  was  routed.  Only  one  lonely  favorite 
won  to  day,  the  remaining  four  races  being  taken  into  camp  by 
a  7  to  1  shot,  5  to  1  chance,  40  to  1  and  7  to  1  shots.  The 
person  that  quit  winner  was  therefore  something  of  a  curio. 
The  track  «as  not  quite  as  fast  as  it  was  yesterday,  fresh  earth 
being  put  on  the  homestretch.  Notwithstanding  this, 
good  time  was  made  in  every  event.  The  successful 
jockeys  were  Peters,  Madison,  Seaman,  Shaw  and  Stanford. 
There  were  never  a  closer  lot  of  finishes  in  one  day.  The 
first  race  was  won  by  a  nose,  second  by  a  short 
neck,  third  by  less  than  a  length,  the  fourth 
race  was  a  dead  heat  between  Centella  and  Royal 
Flush,  the  latter  being  disqualified  on  account  of  Sloan 
being  two  pounds  short  of  weight.  The  judges  deliberated 
over  the  matter  for  about  fifteen  minutes  before  they  an- 
nounced tbeir  decision.  Tod  Sloan,  Royal  Flush's  rider, 
was  suspended  pending  investigation.  He  wanted  to  weigh 
on  the  scales  he  made  the  weight  on,  but  the  privilege  was

Another  Tanner  Job. 


St.  Louis,  March  21.— Tanner,  the  Brannon  Brothers' 
famous  ringer  that  has  won  more  races  under  false  colors  than 
any  horse  in  the  country, has  at  last  been  captured,and  is  now 
in  a  stall  at  the  East  St.  Louis  race  track,  where  he  ran  to- 
day under  false  colors  for  perhaps  the  last  time.  He  appeared 
as  a  chestnut  gelding.  Tanner  was  always  known  as  a  bay- 
horse,  and  the  crowd  who  ran  him  to-day  depended  upon  this 
fact  to  get  through  the  game  without  detection.  He  ran 
under  the  name  of  Golden  Gate  in  the  third  race,a  mile  dash, 
and  opened  in  the  betting  at  25  and  30  to  1.  But  little  money 
was  plaved  on  him  here,  the  bulk  being  placed  in  the  outside 
poolrooms.  A  boy  named  Hoyt  had  the  mount.  There  were 
nine  other  starters,  Granite  being  the  favorite.  When  the 
horse  was  entered  Judge  Carter  asked  of  Bell,  who  entered 
him,  several  questions  about  the  horse,  and  Bell  said  he  had 
bought  him  from  a  man  named  Brooks  in  Chicago. 

The  horse  was  allowed  to  start,  and  running  third  under  a 
double  wrap  to  the  three-quarter  mark,  shot  out  like  a  rocket 
and  led  by  two  lengths  for  100  yards  or  so.  Hoyt  then  pulled 
him  up,  but  Granite  coming  up  fast  be  was  obliged  to  whip 
to  win  by  a  nose.  Judge  Carter  immediately  recalled  Bell 
and  questioned  him  further,  but  his  replies  were  unsatisfac- 

The  horse  was  viewed  by  Jockey  De  Long,  whose  father 
sold  Tanner  to  Brannon  four  years  ago.  As  soon  as  De  Long 
saw  him  he  remarked  : 

"  Why,  that  is  Tanner." 

A  closer  examination  was  made,  and  under  his  mane  it 
could  be  seen  the  horse  had  been  bleached.  There  were  two 
scars  on  the  shoulder  which  De  Loog  recognized  as  the 
result  -jf  blood-poisoning,  which  the  horse  had  suffered  from 
while  owned  by  his  father.  French  Eldridge  and  Jack 
Hinkle  also  identified  him.  With  this  evidence  Judge  Car- 
ter declared  Golden  Gate  disqualified  and  Granite  first.  The 
discovery  of  the  job  must  have  saved  pool-rooms  throughout 
the  country  $100,000.  ^ 

Jockey  Tod  Sloan,  who  was  two  pounds  Bhort  on  Roval 
Flush  Thursday,  wanted  to  weigh  on  the  sciles  he  originally 
made  his  weight  on,  but  was  not  allowed  to.  The  jockeys 
6rst  weigh  on  the  scales  in  the  jockeys'  room,  and  then,  after 
a  race,  weigh  on  another  pair  in  the  weighing  room  under- 
neath the  judges' box.  If  the  second  pair  of  scales  are  wrong 
all  the  jockeys  w.uld  not  be  at  weight  after  a  race,  and  it 
appears  Sloan  was  the  only  boy  short. 

Gus  Straus,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  has  sold  to  George  Cad- 
wallader,  for  Charley  Bollincer,  of  Covington,  the  bay  two- 
year-old  fill'  by  Onondaga,  dam  Latonia.     Price  $1,500.

The  following  words  contain  the  essence  of  horse  phil- 
osophy :  Reins  may  guide  the  horse,  the  bit  may  inspire  him 
and  the  whip  may  urge  him  forward,  but  the  human  voice  is 
more  potent  than  all.  Its  assuring  tones  will  more  quicklv 
dispel  fright  ;  its  sharp,  clear,  electric  commands  will  more 
thoroughly  arouse  his  ambition,  and  its  gentle,  kindly  praises 
will  more  completely  encourage  the  intelligent  road  horse 
than  the  united  force  of  the  bit  and  reins  and  the  lash  No 
animal  in  domestic  use  more  readily  responds  to  the  power  of 
kindness  than  the  road  horse." 


The  T,  etennary  College  in  Paris  recommends  the  follow- 
ing composition  for  stopping  splits  and  cracks  in  horses'  hoofs- 
1  wo  parts  of  gulta  percha  should  be  softened  in  water  and 
divided  into  small  pieces  and  melted,  together  with  one  part 
ot  crushed  sal  ammoniac,  over  a  gentle  fire  in  a  tinned  iron 
pan,  carefully  stirring  the  melted  mixture  until  the  mass  has 
assumed  the  color  and  appearance  of  chocolate.  Before  use 
the  cement  should  be  again  melted  and  then  applied  with  a 
heated  knife  blade,  just  as  a  glazier  uses  his  putty,  the  hoof 
having  previously  been  carefully  cleansed.  The  cement 
becomes  so  hard  that  it  will  bold  the  nails.

which  are  among  the  finest  of  ancient  bronzes.  They  are  said 
to  have  once  adorned  the  triumphal  arch  of  Nero,  and  after- 
ward that  of  iWn  in  Rome.  Constantine  seat  them  to  Con- 
stantinople, and  the  doge  Dandola  took  them  thence  to  Ven- 
ice in  204.  In  1797  they  were  carried  by  Napoleon  to  Paris, 
where  they  afterward  crowned  the  triumphal  arch  in  that 
city,  but  in  1815  were  restored  to  thei.  original  position  by 
Emperor  Francis.  A  photograph  of  these  horses  shows  that

A  horseman  suggests  that  the  official  report  of  every  sale 
should  state  the  defects,  if  any,  of  every  animal  sold  The 
point,  as  he  puts  it,  is  that  a  richly-bred  horse  may  go  at  a 
very  low  figure,  the  same  being  due  to  a  radical  defect  or  per- 
manent and  hereditary  blemish;  but  the  public  does  not  know 
ofthisand  many  persons  therefore  arrive  at  the  conclusion 
that  the  low  price  was  due  to  most  any  cause,  save  the  right 
one.  The  suggestion  is  a  good  one,  and  if  adopted  into  prac- 
tice and  followed  closely  might  produce  good  effects.

Directum,  the  trotting  king,  had  a  bad  habit  of  running 
into  the  fence  George  Starr  bad  all  he  could  do  to  keep  him 
stiaight,  then  John  Kelly  tried  his  hand  and  every  kind  of 
b  t  he  could  purchase,  but  of  no  avail.  When  forced  the 
black  colt  would  swerve  into  the  fence.  Monroe  Salisbury  de- 
termined to  see  what  was  the  matter  with  him, so  at  terre 
Haute  he  told  Kelly  to  get  the  pacer  out  and  he  would  ride 
behind  Directum.  Before  he  had  driven  him  three  hundred 
yards  he  discovered  the  cause  and  in  a  few  seconds  heeot  the 
colt  straightened  out  and  could  hardly  drive  him  near  the 
insidefence.  On  being  asked  how  he  did  it.  he  said-  "Why 
the  black  rascal  when  touched  on  the  off  side  with  the  whip 
tried  to  get  away  from  it  and  bolted  for  the  fence,  so  I  iust

The  kinetoscope  recently  perfected  by  Edison  promises  to 
be  of  almost  limitless  benefit  in  accurately  determining  win- 
ners in  close  finishes.     The  great  value  o"f  this  new  camera 
consists  in  the  number  of  continuous  impressions  it  furnishes    ' 
thus  showing  every  motion  and  change  of  position  for  a  lim- 
ited space  ol  time.  In  a  public  trial  made  with  a  kinetoscope 
a  rew  days  ago  photographs  were  taken  at,  the  rate  of  lorty- 
six  to  the  second,  the  exposure  lasting  twenty  seconds  the

desired  the  curtain  is  withdrawn,  the   structure  pushed  ,or- 
ward  on  rollers,  the  mechanism  thereby  started  and  the  ex- 
posure takes   place.      Such  extreme  speed  is  by   no  means 
necessary  for  the  photographing  of  close  finishes.     Half  tbat 
number  of  impressions  would  show  all   that  is  vital  to  the  de- 
cision of  any  race.     The  advantages  of  the  kinetoscope  over 
the  single  impression  camera  are  many.     Its  negatives  will 
show  all  the  changes  of  position,  even  to  every  stride  of  the 
horses  and  the  ease  with  which  it  is  operated  will  render  it  a 
valuable  adjunct   to  the  paraphernalia  of  the  judges' stand 
«  hen  the  camera  plainly  exhibits  all  the  movements  of  the 
horses— this  one  gaining,  that   one  falling  back— the  judges 
will  be  absolutely  cerlaiu  of  the  order  in  which  the  'horses 
finish. — Horseman.

THE  SADDLE. 


"William  P.  McGrane  has  signed  Mclntyre  as  first 
jockey  for  this  season.       

Bridal  Veil  is  improving  last,  and  should  win  before 
very  long  if  no  accident  occurs. 


It  cost  $2-50,000  to  fit  up  the  Linden  track,  and  there  has 
been  but  ten  days'  racing  over  it  in  two  years. 

Grannan  is  credited  with  losing  $4,000  on  Stromboli  last 
Saturday,  and  Joe  Ullman  fared  little  if  any  better. 

Wild  wood,  Joe  Cotton  and  a  number  of  other  celebrities 
will  be  sold  at  Killip's  salesyard  nest  Monday,  commencing 
at  11  a.  M. 

Oakwood,  by  Fellowcharm,  dam  Agnes  B.,  owned  by  J. 
E.  Cnshing,  has  gone  amiss,  and  has  been  thrown  out  of 
training.  

The  Billy  Edwards  that  died  at  Hot  Springs,  Ark.,  the 
other  day  was  not  the  ex-champion  fighter  of  Hoffman 
House  fame.  

Mr.  J.  B.  Chase  has  a  filly  foal  by  imp.  Merriwa  from 
Rosedale  by  Joe  Hooker  declared  to  be  one  of  the  best  foals 
seen  this  year.  

Chemuck  ran  as  fast  as  Lottie  D.  in  the  match  race.  The 
former  is  a  sister  to  Anteuil  (formerly  Orrin),  being  by  John 
Happy — Jess.  

Mike  Hennessy  is  most  unfortunate  in  steeplechases.  We 
believe  be  has  yet  to  ride  a  horse  in  a  jumping  race  that  has 
not  fallen  on  the  journey. 

From  1SS1  to  13S5  inclusive,  five  years,  Fren  Archer  rode 
in  a  total  of  2,971  races  and  won  1,149  ;  that  is  an  average  of 
594  races  and  229  wins  each  of  the  five  years. 

Chablet  Weber  led  all  the  jockeys  last  week,  riding 
seven  winners  out  of  twenty  mounts.  Carr  and  Irving  were 
tied  for  second  place  with  three  winners  each  in  fifteen 
mounts.  

Fortuna  was  cut  down  so  badly  in  her  last  race  that  she 
may  never  face  the  starter  again.  This  is  a  serious  loss,  as 
Fortuna  was  one  of  the  best  three-year-old  fillies  at  the  local 
course.  

The  back-stretch  of  the  Memphis  track  has  been  widened 
fifteen  feet  all  the  way  from  the  third  to  the  fourth  furlong 
pole.  Other  improvements  are  in  contemplation,  and  some 
in  process  of  being  carried  out. 

SamLoates.  the  well-known  English  jockey,  has  been 
granted  a  license  by  the  English  Jockey  Club.  It  will  be  re- 
membered he  paid  a  visit  to  this  country  in  1891,  when  his 
license  had  then  been  withdrawn  in  England. 

Monroe  Salisbury  sent  two  car-loads  of  horses  to  New 
York  on  Sunday  night  in  charge  of  San  Gamble.  The 
animals,  the  get  of  Direct,  Directum,  Director  and  Xoonday, 
are  to  be  sold  at  auction  in  the  country's  metropolis. 

The  first  of  Bermuda's  foals  was  dropped  March  6.  It 
was  a  chestnut  colt,  out  of  Mahussa,  by  Governor  Bowie, 
dam  Modjeska.  Colt,  sire  and  dam  are  owned  by  Byron  Mc- 
Clelland, who  is  mightily  pleased  with  the  youngster. 

Barney  Schreiber  sends  bi*=  horses  to  Chicago  at  the  end 
of  this  week.  The  Schreiber  horses  do  their  best  work  over 
a  heavy  track,  and  now  that  good  weather  and  a  fast  track 
are  on  the  popular  bookmaker's  horses  are  not  winniog  so 
many  purses.  

The  many  friends  of  Mr.  Horace  Theobald,  of  Tattersalls', 
will  sympathize  greatly  with  him  at  the  sudden  and  startling 
death  of  his  eldest  brother  in  London,  Mr.  James  Theobald, 
M.  P.,  as  noted  by  cable,  was  fatally  iojured  by  falling  between 
the  cars  of  a  railway  train. 

E.  H.  Garrison  is  doing  hard  work  every  day  so  as  to  be 
at  weight  when  the  racing  season  opens.  He  weighed  127 
pounds  one  day  lately,  and  besides  taking  several  miles  of 
road  work  he  rides  his  own  horse,  Aloha,  and  the  Washing- 
ton Stable's  Sport  every  morning. 

Recently  J.  B.  Chase,  of  this  city,  met  with  a  serious  loss 
in  the  death  of  a  two-days-old  filly  by  Marteohurst,  dam 
Mystery,  the  good  daughter  of  Three  Cheers.  The  young- 
ster was  found  dead  in  the  stall,  and  just  what  caused  its 
death  is  unknown  to  the  unfortunate  owner. 

Thomas  P.  Fisher,  the  well-known  owner  of  thorough- 
breds from  Coyote,  Santa  Clara  County,  Cal.,  is  lying  at  the 
point  of  death  at  his  home  with  pneumonia.  Mr.  Fisher 
bred  Little  Esperanza,  Fannie  F..  Belle  W.,  Conde  and 
others  of  note,  and  is  one  of  the  most  popular  of  gentlemen. 

The  big  Corrigan  string,  which  contain  such  cflebrities  as 
Joe  Murphy,  Kitty  Scott,  Cicero,  Ottyanna  and  Mariner,  is 
booked  to  leave  in  a  day  or  two  for  Hawthorne  Park, Chicago. 
Johnny  and  Charley  Weber  are  likely  to  go  along  also  with- 
in a  few  weeks,  so  as  to  be  on  hand  when  the  races  begin  at 
Mr.  Corrigan's  track.        

Pat  Meany  was  discovered  on  St.  Patrick's  Day  without 
a  shamrock  or  anything  else  green  arouod  his  coat.  A  friend 
shouted  to  him :  "  Why,  Pat,  you  haven't  any  more  green 
about  you  this  glorious  day  than  that  nigger  over  there  I" 
A  bystander  brought  down  the  house  by  exclaiming :  ;'Pat 
don't  need  any.     His  face  is  enough  !  " 

Interest  in  the  Brooklyn  handicap  is  increasing  daily.  A 
bet  of  £6,000  against  $-i00,  Prince  George  straight,  has  re- 
centlv  been  recorded,  and  two  bets  $4,500  against  $75,  aod 
$9,000  against  $150,  have  closed  the  book  on  Leonawell  Don 
Alonzo  and  Sir  Walter  are  now  the  favorites  at  8  to  1,  with 
Ajax,  Lamplighter  and  Clifford  at  10,  Sport  and  St.  Leon- 
ards at  32,  Pickpocket  and  Yo  Tambien  at  25,  Charade  and 
PickDickerat  30,  the  most  fancied  by  the  public. 

Lord  Rosebery,  whose  family  name  is  Primrose,  made 
a  bet  when  a  boy  at  school  that  he  would  marry  the  heiress 
of  her  year,  be  prime  minister  of  England  and  win  the  Dei  by. 
The  first  he  accomplished  by  marrying:  Baroness  Haonflh  de 
Rothschild,  the  second  by  succeeding  Mr.  Gladstone,  and  the 
third  he  has  ytt  to  do.  His  horse  Ladas  is  the  favorite  can- 
didate for  the  blue  ribbon  of  the  English  turf,  so  it  is  not 
such  terribly  long  odds  that  the  present  premier  of  England 
will  not  win  his  boyish  bet  in  1894. 


It  is  declared  by  those  in  a  position  to  know  that  the  aver- 
age amounts  bet  on  a  race  in  San  Francisco  is  nearly,  if  not 
r/a'ite,  three  times  that  bet  at  New  Orleans  on  the  local  races, 
while  an  attendance  of  1,500  at  the  Crescent  City  is  consid- 
ered a  big  day.    The  average  attendance  here  is  about  2,200. 

Fly  and  Border  Lassie  are  matched  for  $500  a  side  to  ran 
about  six  furlongs  to-day,  each  to  carry  97  pounds.  The  race 
should  be  a  most  exciting  one.  Border  Lassie  ran  third  to 
Fly  last  week,  and  yesterday  Mr.  Spreckels'  filly  turned  the 
tables  on  Xick  Hall'sgeldiog.  We  can  look  for  a  1:13}  to  be 
beaten  to-day.  That  was  the  notch  Border  Lassie  ran  the  dis- 
tance in  yesterday. 

A  strong,  rugged-looking  three-year-old  filly  called 
Samartha,  by  imp.  Kantaka,  dam  Clio,  which  was  the  prop- 
erty of  J.  F.  Caldwell  the  starter,  arrived  from  Kentucky  a 
few  days  ago,  and  has  been  purchased  by  G.  F.  Walbaum. 
This  filly  started  three  times  at  Lexington  last  fall  under  J. 
E.  Pepper's  colors,  and  was  twice  returned  winner.  These 
are  the  only  races  she  ever  started  in. 

A  wag  who  observed  Riley  Grannan  dropping  several 
"beans"  on  Stromboli's  win  last  Saturday  (by  the  way  Mr. 
G.  made  several  heavy  losings  last  week)  remarked  :  "  It  was 
Riley  Grinnin'  when  he  went  away  with  that  $50,000  of  the 
'Frisco  bookmakers'  good  coin,  Riley  Grannan  when  he  came 
back  from  New  Orleans  with  his  big  bank  account,  and  now 
that  he's  been  hit  hard  it's  Riley  Groanin'." 


Albert  Heuee,  a  well-known  bookmaker,  died  suddenly 
March  Sth  of  heart  failure  in  New  York.  He  appeared  to  be 
in  perfect  health  on  Wednesday,  and  eutertained  a  number  of 
friends  at  his  home  until  after  midnight.  Five  hours  later 
he  was  found  dead  in  his  bed.  He  was  a  member  of  several 
benevolent  associations,  and  only  tbe  afternoon  before  paid 
bis  assessments  in  one  of  them  on  a  $3,000  policy. 

The  slashing  California  colt,  Peter  the  Great,  who  cane 
East  last  season  with  a  great  reputation  which  he  failed  to 
sustain,  is  much  improved  by  bis  winter's  rest,  and  gives 
promiss  of  making  his  three-year-old  form  atone  for  his  past 
deficiences  and  disappointments.  He  is  by  Brutus,  out  of 
Bonnie  Jean,  by  imp.  Hercale3.  He  is  wintering  at  Sheeps- 
head  Bay  under  Albert  Cooper's  care. — Turf,  Field  and 
Farm. 

Speed  and  liberal  stake  engagements,  good  looks  and  good 
manners  are  now  and  will  continue  to  be  from  this  time  for- 
ward the  demands  of  the  market  for  trotters.  Values  will  in- 
crease in  proportion  to  the  quantity  and  quality  of  producing 
and  performing  blood  and  tbe  successful  union  of  kindred 
strains.  Line  breeding  to  the  great  mares  through  stallions 
of  vigorous  constitution  and  developed  speed  promises  to  pro- 
duce the  two-minute  trotter. 


Milton  Young  has  added  another  small  farm  to  Mc- 
Grathiana,  buying  eighty-one  acres  of  land  fronting  en  the 
same  pike  as  bis  present  estate.  For  this  he  paid  something 
over  $9,000.  This  makes  McGrathiana  now  contain  close  to 
1,000  acres.  The  original  place  when  bought  by  Mr.  Young 
from  the  estate  of  the  late  H.  P.  McGrath  only  contained 
about  480  acres. 

The  programme  of  races  at  the  local  track  for  this  week 
is  an  excellent  one.  Every  day  there  are  one  or  more  races 
of  a  mile  or  over,  which  is  a  vast  improvement,  giving  the 
sure-enough  racehorses  a  chance.  The  public  will  doubtless 
show  its  appreciation  by  attending.  While  some  of  the  purses 
are  $300,  there  are  several  larger  ones,  thev  being  gov- 
erned by  the  grade  of  horses,  as  they  should  be. 

It  is  the  intention  of  Jimmy  McLaughlin  to  have  his 
fast  horse  Walcott  schooled  for  tbe  jumping  business,  and  he 
is  entered  in  some  of  the  Coney  Island  events  of  that  nature. 
Walcott  is  a  six-year-old  gelding,  by  Long  Taw,  out  of  Miss 
Dance,  by  War  Dance,  and  is  a  horse  of  excellent  size  and 
substance  and  of  plenty  of  bone.  Although  a  sprinter  on  the 
fiat,  he  is  bred  to  stay,  and  should  make  a  good  steeplechaser. 

R-  E.  de  B.Lopez  has  purchased  the  celebrated  Valensin 
farm  at  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  for  $30,000,  and  will  raise  thorough- 
breds from  the  most  fashionable  families  thereon.  Imp. 
Merriwa,  son  of  Goldsbrough  and  Habena,  by  Yattendon, 
will  be  the^  premier  stallion,  and  the  place  will  be  rechrist- 
ened  Merriwa  Stock  Farm.  A  number  of  first-class,  tried 
producing  mares,  will  be  secured,  and  it  is  to  be  expected 
that  with  his  knowledge  of  blood  lines  and  conformation 
Mr.  Lopez's  horses  will  become  famous.  Merriwa  Stock 
Farm  consists  of  about  200  acres.  It  has  forty-two  box-stalls, 
a  good  race  track,  as  good  pasture  land  as  can  be  found  in 
the  United  States,  and  altogether  there  is  no  more  ccmplete 
establishment  than  the  place  Mr.  Lopez  has  just  purchased. 

John  Kopp,  a  wealthy  stockman  of  Owensboro,  Ky.,  lost 
a  splendidly  equipped  stockbarn  and  valuable  race  horses  by 
fire  last  Sundav.  Lightning  struck  the  barn,  on  which  there 
were  five  lightning-rods.  The  building  and  contents  were  in 
ashes  in  thirty  minutes.  The  stud  was  made  up  of  tbe  fol- 
lowing fine  stock  :  H.  W.  Miller's  pacing  mare,  Carrie  M., 
valued  at  $5,000;  Scherrer  &  Hoffendorfer's  trotting  stallion', 
Don  Carbau,  valued  at  $5,000,  and  the  following  horses  of 
John  Kopp:  Blooded  stallion,  Heidelberg,  $5,0(10:  Blue 
Grass  stallion,  Prince  Plion,  $5,000;  stallion,  Rivers,  $1,000; 
broodmares,  Nancy  Lee  and  Lena  Rivers,  $1,000;  Lot  ie  B. 
and  Pansy,  $300  each  ;  stallions.  Diamond  and  Paragon,  $800 
and  £400.     The  loss  of  other  colts  and  work  horses  was  about 


From  Nashville  comes  rusy  reports  of  the  horses  wintering 
there.  It  is  said  that  Balgowan  never  looked  belter  and  that 
he  will  train  beyond  the  shadow  of  a  doubt.  Henry  Young 
is  said  lo  be  going  great  guns  and  Pedestrian  has  wintered 
well.  Hoosier  has  come  out  of  the  ordeal  of  firing  all  right, 
and  the  other  horses  are  doing  well.  The  Eastern  stake 
horses  are  already  being  galloped.  A  representative  of  the 
Spirit  of  the  Times  who  visited  Gravesend  found  the  train- 

Clieyeden's  book  for  1S94  is  full  (except  for  a  few  ap- 
proved mares).  Some  of  the  choicest-bred  matrons  in  Cali- 
fornia have  been  mated  witb  him.  Simeon  G.  Reed  is  breed- 
ing a  Galop'm  and  a  Doncaster  mare  to  him,  and  John 
Mackey,  of  Rancho  del  Paso,  a  few  choice  ones  from  this 
great  farm.  E.  J.  Baldwin  is  breeding  a  number  of  his  best 
Glencoe  mares  also  to  him,  so  that  there  is  oo  doubt  a  number 
of  stake  winners  will  surely  result  from  such  mating. 

It  pays  well  to  breed  a  great  racehorse,  even  if  disposing 
of  him  in  his  yearling  form,  as  can  be  illustrated  with  refer- 
ence to  tbe  unbeaten  Domino,  as  out  of  his  winnings  in  the 
Matron  and  Futurity  stakes  Major  B.  G.  Thomas  got  a  total 
of  $5,000,  which,  added  to  the  $3,000  the  colt  sold  for  as  a 
yearling,  makes  the  comfortable  sum  of  $S,000  for  her 
breeder,  ^nd  this  is  not  all,  as  Domioo  is  in  several  stakes 
to  be  run  this  year,  of  which  portion  of  the  added  money  is 
set  aside  for  the  breeder  of  the  winner. 


J.  B.  Chase,  the  well-known  breeder  and  racing  man  of 
this  city,  has  leased  imp.  Crichton  of  A.  B.  Spreckels  for  the 
stud  season  of  1S94.  Crichton  is  a  magnificent  individual 
by  Clieveden  (brother  of  Chester),  dam  Ghinni  Gbinni,  by 
Barbarian.  Mr.  Chase  owns  some  fourteen  thoroughbred 
brood  mares,  and  has  a  very  pretty  ranch  just  outside  the 
town  of  Sonoma,  Cal.  Crichton  should  prove  a  successful  sire, 
as  he  is  from  lines  that  have  proven  successful  on  the  turf 
and  in  the  stud.   Tom  G.  Jones  is  to  manage  the  Chase  farm. 

A  remarkably  gooo*  lot  of  jumpers  are  entered  in  the 
Cross  County  Stakes  opened  by  the  Coney  Island  Jockey 
Club.  Among  them  are  Ballarat,  Demutb,  St.  John,  Mac- 
beth II.,  Sam  Corey,  Tom  Flynn,  Sam  Weller,  Pat  Oakley, 
My  Fellow,  The  Ironmaster,  May  Win,  Bassanio,  Jacobin, 
Margherita,  Walcott,  etc.  The  nominators,  include  the 
names  of  F.  Gebhard,  S.  S.  Howland,  Colonel  L.  Strathy,  P. 
S.  P.  Randolph,  Walcott  &  Campbell,  Geoige  Walbaum, 
Beveryck  Stable,  Pat  Meaney,  William  Steele,  Captain  R. 
H.  Jex  Blake,  W.  C.  Daly,  etc. 

A  Hot  Springs  (Ark.)  dispatch  of  March  13th  says: 
Hugh  McCarren,  Jr.,  with  his  horses,  was  put  off  the  grounds 
of  tbe  Arkansas  Jockey  Club  yesterday,  and  left  this  morn- 
ing for  East  St.  Louis.  The  stable  which  Chas.  McCafierty 
has  been  racing  here  was  also  sent  away  this  morning  on 
account  of  Flannagan,  the  head  jockey  of  the  stable,  being 
set  down  for  the  meeting  by  Starter  Hatch.  The  running  of 
the  McCafierty  horses  has  been  very  unsatisfactory  to  the 
officials,  and  McCarren  has  been  a  disturbing  element  ever 
since  the  meeting  began.  Tbe  Jockey  Club  thought  it  best 
for  the  good  of  the  sport  to  be  rid  of  botb  parties. 

The  only  Sam  Bryant  has  got  an  idle  fit  on  him  and  has 
almost  abandoned  the  turf.  His  Chicago  Derby  candidate 
of  last  year,  Turquoise,  stands  idly  eating  off'  his  head  in  his 
owner's  barn.  Although  as  sound  as  a  dollar,  he  simply  can- 
not run  and  is  not  in  training.  His  owner  is  said  to  have  a 
bigdisgust  toward  this  fellow,  and  in  his  own  epigrammatic 
way  says:  "  He  ain't  no  good  for  nothin'."  The  horse  is  by 
Iroquois,  out  of  Fanny  Mattinglv,  by  Hunter's  Lexington,  as 
good  blood  as  can  be  fouod  anywhere,  but  Capt.  Sam  will  not 
even  breed  to  him.  He  sent  Charlotte  Gushing,  full  sister  to 
the  great  Proctor  Knott,  to  Lexington  several  days  ago  to 
breed  to  imported  Candlemas,  at  Elmendorf  Stock  Farm. 


The  quarterly  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Washington  Parfc  Club  was  held  at  the  club  rooms  on  the 
night  of  March  11th.  It  was  the  first  meeting  since  the  death 
of  Mr.  J.  E  Brewster,  the  late  secretary,  and  suitable  resolu- 
tions of  respect  and  condolence  on  bis  death  ft  ere  passed  and 
ordered  lo  be  sent  to  his  family.  James  Howard,  who  was 
Mr.  Brewster's  assistant  since  the  organization  of  the  club, 
was  elected  secretary,  and  John  W.  Kelsey  made  his  as- 
sistant. The  directors  elected  W.  S.  Barnes  as  presiding 
steward  for  their  racing  season.  J.  J.  Burke  will  continue  as 
presiding  judge  aod  C.  H.  Pettingill  will  again  handled  the 
starter's  flag.  President  Van  Kirkman,  of  the  Turf  Congress, 
arrived  in  the  city  from  Xew  York  March  10  and  will  trvand 
seenrethe  Washington  Park  membership  to  the  Dew  Jockey 
Club.  

The  legitimate  raciDg  season  is  only  a  few  weeks  away. 
The  reports  from  Memphis  are  that  the  horses  there  are  do- 
ing splendidly.  It  is  stated  that  Yo  Tambien  is  going  along 
like  a  two-year-old,  and  from  this  it  would  appear  that  she 
was  being  fitted  for  the  Brooklyn  handicap.  Her  owner, 
Chris  Smith,  is  in  that  city,  but  is  non-committal  on  the  sub- 
ject When  asked  if  the  mare  will  be  sent  East  he  answers 
always  that  be  cannot  yet  tell,  as  it  will  depend  entirely  on 
beJ  work.  If  the  mare  is  going  along  as  well  as  the  reports 
credit  her  witb  she  may  be  put  down  as  a  starter  in  the  classic 
Eastern  event.  This  would  please  the  Western  turf  followers, 
with  whom  the  mare  is  immensely  popular.  If  she  could 
land  the  race  it  would  be  one  of  the  most  popular  victories, 
viewed  through  Western  eyes,  that  was  ever  recorded  on  the 
turf.  

The  relics  of  the  great  Longfellow  dow  in  the  stud  at 
Nantura  consist  of  his  son,  the  stallion  Jils  Johnson,  and 
the  following  broodmares,  most  of  which  are  young  stud 
matrons:  Unite  (sister  to  Freeland);  Early  Light  (sister  to

A  prominent  Eastern  breeder  recently  tried  to  get  a  price  on 
this  bunch  of  daughters  of  the  famous  sire,  but  was  met  with 
the  announcement  that  none  of  the  collection  was  for  sale. 
"  I  guess  I  will  own  '.hem  until  one  or  the  other  of  us  die," 
said  the  aged  proprietor  of  this  famous  establishment.  "  You 
see,  the  old  horse  is  gone,  aod  these  are  all  I  have  of  him 
left.  They  may  make  Rossiug'on  a  great  sire.  You  can't 
tell;  but  if  they  don't  they  will  make  some  other  horse 
famous.  Either  way  I  am  satisfied.  I  would  rather  have 
them  than  the  money  they  will  bring." 

Messrs.  Keenes'  trainer,  Lakeland,  writing  to  a  personl 
friend,  says:  "  You  need  have  no  worry  about  Domino  train- 
ing on.  He  is  sounder  aod  better  than  ever  before  io  his 
life,  aod  it  is  Dot  a  question  with  me  as  to  him  being  capable 
of  sensational  performaoce  al  that  age.  All  I  am  asking  my- 
self is  how  good  he  will  really  be.  Because  Dobbins  ran  a 
dead  heat  with  our  colt  the  idea  prevails  in  some  quarters 
that  he  might  take  Domino's  place  as  champion  in  1894. 
When  they  met  in  the  match  the  latter  was  clearly  a  little 
ofl'edge,  and  four  times  before  he  beat  Dobbin  easily.  If  the 
last  named  had  beaten  our  colt  like  he  has  beaten  him,  I'll 
tell  you  I  would  be  hunting  a  little  easier  game  than  racing 
against  a  performer  who  either  gave  me  a  stand)  ft'  or  beat 
me  everv  time.  Of  course  Domioo  has  never  met  Senator 
Gradv,  and  I  can't  therefore  figure  out  how  good  the  son  of 
Iroquois  is,  but  he  was  beaten,  however,  aod  Hornpipe  ran 
him  to  a  length  in  the  Junior  Champion,  so  I  hardly  thiuk 
he  can  be  classed  with  Domino.  In  fact,  it  is  my  opinion, 
if  anv  colt  or  filly  shows  superiority  over  Domino  the  com- 
iog  season,  it  will  be  none  of  his  last  year's  rivals — rather  a 
new  performer  to  the  turf,  and  he  must  be  a  sensatiooal  one 
to  eveo  hold  his  owo  with  the  black  wooder."

To  Our  Subscribers. 

All  subscriber  of  this  journal  who  are  in  arrears  for 
subscription,  have  been  notified  by  mail,  and  bills  have 
been  forwarded  them,  with  the  hope  that  the  amounts 
ill  be  paid  immediately.  Tt  costs  a  large  amount 
of  money  to  conduct  a  newspaper  and  every  subscriber 
who  looks  forward  with  pleasure  to  the  day  when  his 
paper  arrives,  can  appreciate  the  gratification  it  gives 
the  management  of  a  journal  to  receive  the  subscription 
price  for  the  same.  A  large  number  of  subscribers  who 
have  had  their  names  on  our  list  for  the  past  twelve 
years  have  allowed  'heir  subscriptions  to  run  behind,  and 
to  them,  as  well  as  to  the  thousands  who  have  subscribed 
at  a  later  date,  this  notification  is  publicly  made.  There- 
fore we  repeat  tiie  injunction  :  r.vv  your  subscription 
AT  ONCE. 


The  New  Association. 


It  must  be  encouraging  to  all  the  pioneers,  or  we 
might  call  them,  the  charter  members  of  the  Occidental 
Trotting  and  Pacing  Association,  to  hear  from  every  as- 
sociation with  but  one  exception  (and  that  one  will  come 
into  the  fold)  that  the  idea  of  having  an  association  here 
receives  their  endorsement.  The  benefits  to  be  derived 
from  it  are  recognized  by  observant  horsemen  everywhere, 
who  have  taken  a  deep  interest  in  its  progress.  On  the  date 
of  its  organization  several  associations  were  thought  to  be 
"doubtful,"  but,  since  then,  all  doubts  have  been  removed 
aud  their  names  are  on  the  roll.  The  newspapers  of  the 
interior,  which  have  given  any  space  to  the  interests  of 
the  light  harness  horse,  have  published  little  notices  that 
are  most  encouraging.  The  North  Pacific  Rural  Press, 
one  of  the  strongest  and  most  influential  turf  journals  in 
the  Northwest,  published  very  flattering  notices  of  it 
and  is  going  to  do  all  in  its  power  to  aid  and  assist  the 
Pacific  Coast  people  to  patronize  this  home  institution, 
knowing  that  its  laws  and  regulations,  its  fines  and  ex- 
pulsions will  be  recognized  by  both  the  National  and 
American  Associations  in  the  same  manner  and  on  the 
same  terms  as  the  Occidental  will  recognize  theirs. 
The  leading  turf  journals  of  the  East  are  repeating  its 
sentiments  regarding  it,  as  expressed  in  the  following  edi- 
torial, which  is  copied  from  the  last  issue  of  the  Chicago 
Horseman : 

"Representatives  of  nearly  all  the  agricultural  and  harness 
racing  associations  of  Californiaaod  of  many  similarsocieties 
in  adjoining  Slates,  met  in  San  Francisco,  March  8,  and  for- 
mally decided  to  drop  their  memberships  in  the  National  and 
American  Trotting  associations  and  form  a  government  of 
their  owd.  The  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  and  Pacing  associa- 
tion was  immediately  thereafter  organized.  When  this  move 
was  first  set  afoot  this  journal  endorsed  it  for  the  reason  that 
it  would  provide  for  California  associations  and  horsemen  a 
court  of  appeal  which  would  have  jurisdiction  over  their  im- 
mediate interests,  and  by  virtue  of  location  be  better  fitted  to 
properly  deal  with  cases  coming  before  it  than  either  of  the 
older  parent  bodies.  It  is  manifestly  unfair  to  ask  persons  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  to  journey  to  Chicago  or  New  York  to  try 
their  turf  cases,  and  on  this  account  many  protests  have  been 
withheld,  the  expenses  of  transportation  being  often  heavier 
than  theamount  involved  even  if  recovered  would  warrant. 
The  National  association  has  jurisdiction  chiefly  in  the  East, 
the  American  in  the  middle  West  and  there  is,  therefore,  every 
reason  why  the  far  West  should  have  a  governing  body  of 
its  own.  Under  this  partition  of  power  Pacific  Coast  harness 
interests  will  lose  nothing,  on  the  contrary,  they  will  profit 
greatly.  The  establishment  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  and 
Pacing  association  is  a  progressive  and  advantageous  meas- 
ure, the  materialization  of  which  has  been  demanded  the 
past  two  years  by  the  increase  in  numbers  and  altered  con- 
ditions of  harness  races  on  the  sunny  slope." 


Oakland's  Blue  Ribbon    Meeting. 


Again  we  wish  to  call  the  attention  of  our  readers  to 
the  splendid  programme  offered  by  that  progressive  or- 
ganization known  as  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association. 
Over  $27,000  in  purses  and  premiums  are  offered,  and 
its  liberal  terms  and  conditions  should  be  the  means  of 
having  more  entries  filled  than  any  organization  of  its 
kind  on  this  Coast.  There  is  hardly  need  for  horsemen 
to  go  East  with  their  strings  of  trotters  and  pacers  when 
such  home  institutions  offer  purses  as  large  as  those  of 
our  sister  city  ;  besides,  all  classes  of  trotters  and  pacers 
will  be  afforded  opportunities  for  getting  in  races  in 
which  they  can  win  money.  The  track  is  one  of  the 
best  in  California,  the  stalls  are  in  perfect  order  and  the 
climate,  as  everyone  knows,  is  unsurpassed;  therefore, 
horsemen  can  have  no  fault  to  find. 

The  words :  "  Send  in  your  entries  now,  and  pay  your 
money  later  on  ;"  "  You  can  well  afford  to  enter  every 
colt  you  have,  aud  then  declare  out  such  as  do  not  come 
up  to  your  expectations,  and  thus  insure  that  you  will 
have  at  least  one  good  starter,"  are  simple  and  to  the 
point,  and  horsemen  should  read  the  advertisement  and 
act  according  to  its  instructions. 

The  meeting  at  Oakland  promises  to  be  a  splendid 
one,  and  every  horseman  on  the  Pacific  Coast  should  en- 
courage the  directors  by  sending  in  entries,  and  then 
bringing  their  horses  to  the  meeting.  Remember  entries 
will  close  Monday,  April  2.  There  is  only  one  week  left 
for  making  them  out. 


There  will  be  an  auction  sale  of  thoroughbreds  next 
Monday,  March  26,  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  salesyards.  The 
lot  consists  of  all  the  stock  owned  by  Messrs.  Phillips 
&  (Jttinger.  The  great  Wildwood,  Joe  Cotton,  Frisa,  and 
three  two-year-old  youngsters  besides  the  game  trotting 
mare  Flora  M.  2:16,  by  Richards'  Elector  and  the  smooth 
going  pacer  Laura  B.  2:22\  by  Mainbriuo  Wilkes,  and  a 
young  colt  that  for  breeding  and  individuality  would  be 
to  surpass  in  any  part  of  the  United  States,  we  refer 
to  the  bay  colt  George  McA.  by  Steinway  2:25J  out  of 
Bertha  (dam  of  Diablo  2:09f)  by  Alcantara.  This  is 
not  a  large  collection  but  if  deficient  in  numbers 
more  than  makes  up  for  it  in  quality. 


The  California  Circuit. 


A  meeting  of  delegates  representing  the  Associations 
on  the  Grand  Circuit,  was  held  on  Wednesday  last.  The 
meeting  was  called  for  the  purpose  of  discussing  the 
general  arrangement  of  a  programme  for  the  circuit  and 
with  the  object  of  making  it  as  harmonious  as  possible. 
Word  was  received  that  the  Napa  Association  had  con- 
cluded not  to  hold  a  meeting  this  year,  and  the  represen- 
tative of  the  Vallejo  Association  stated  that  they  would 
be  unable  to  hold  their  fair  until  after  the  State  Fair. 
The  following  arrangement  of  dates  was  suggested  and 
adopted : 

P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  (Summer  Meeting)  Angnst  4th  to  August  11th. 
Oakland  Association,  August  13th  to  August  I8th. 
Petaluma  Association.  August  20th  to  August  25lh. 
Woodland  Association,  August  27th  to  September  1st. 
State  Fair  Association,  September3rd  to  September  loth. 
Stockton  Association,  September  17th to  September  22nd. 
San  Jose  Acsociation,  September  21th  to  September  29th. 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  (Fall  Meetingl  October  1st  to  October  6th. 
Vallejo  Association,  October  Stb  to  October  13th. 
Fresno  Association,  October  15th  to  October  20th. 
Los  Angeles  Association,  October  22nd  to  October  27th. 
Santa  Ana,  October  29th  to  November  3rd. 

The  above  arrangement  makes  a  continuous  circuit 
and  will  put  tb^  horsemen  to  the  least  trouble  and  ex- 
pense in  taking  their  horses  to  the  different  fairs.  The 
purses  to  be  offered  by  the  different  associations  will  be 
larger  than  they  have  heretofore  been,  and  by  giving 
them  with  the  conditions  as  adopted  by  the  leading  asso- 
ciations will  enable  horsemen  to  make  more  entries  as 
they  will  not  be  required  to  pay  out  so  much  money  a 
long  time  in  advance  as  has  been  required  heretofore. 
The  circuit  is  sufficiently  long  to  give  to  all  horse 
owners  an  opportunity  of  making  money  and  giving 
their  horses  a  chance  to  lower  their  records.  The  arrange- 
ment of  races  on  the  various  programmes  will  be  such 
that  no  two  events  of  the  same  class  will  follow  on  con- 
secutive days. 


More  Encouraging  News. 


The  long  list  of  entries  for  the  State  Fair  Colt  Sweep- 
stakes which  appears  in  another  column  of  this  issue 
shows  that  the  owners  of  fine  young  trotters  and  pacers 
are  more  progressive  and  more  eager  to  have  their  young 
stock  contest  for  the  purses  offered  than  ever.  Secretary 
Edwin  F.  Smith  feels  much  encouraged  at  the  outlook 
for  1S94  and  so  is  every  horseman  on  the  coast. 

C.  M.  Barney,  Secretary  of  the  Agricultural  Associa- 
tion No.  40,  which  comprises  Yolo  and  Colusa  counties, 
writes  as  follows : 

"  The  entry  list  of  purses  as  advertised  by  Agricul- 
tural Association  No.  40,  Woodland,  Cal.,  will  appear 
in  next  issue  of  your  valuable  paper.  Owing  to  many 
irregularities  in  making  entries,  I  will  be  unable  to  have 
the  list  ready  for  publication  this  week.  Furthermore, 
the  directors  will  not  meet  to  pass  upon  said  entry  list 
for  several  days.  I  think  we  have  secured  an  exceed- 
ingly liberal  number  of  entries,and  am  satisfied  all  races 
have  filled  to  satisfaction  of  the  directors  except  num- 
bers 8,  9,  10  and  11. 

When  directors  of  associations  are  fully  apprized  of 
the  fact  that  there  are  more  good  horses  in  training  on 
this  coast  this  year  than  ever  before,  and  that  it  will  pay 
associations  to  offer  good  purses  in  order  that  they  may 
have  good  racing,  the  secretaries  will  all  have  the  same 
ackno  wledgment  to  make  as  Secretary  Barney. 


The  Meeting  at   Buffalo. 


No  better  evidence  of  the  value  of  trotting  horses  that 
can  trot  is  afforded  than  the  splendid  premiums  offered 
by  associations  for  contestants  for  fame  and  fortune. 
Look,  for  instance,  at  the  splendid  purses  offered  at  the 
summer  meeting  of  the  Buffalo  Association.  Seventy 
thousand  dollars  will  be  distributed  in  two  weeks  among 
the  horsemen  who  will  bring  their  horses  to  the  great 
track  and  compete  for  amounts  offered  there.  Purse 
races,  class  races  and  special  races  will  be  given,  and  no 
one  will  be  dissatisfied  with  the  fortnight's  work  which 
will  end  August  10th.  Justice  will  be  shown  to  all  and 
those  who  make  entries  at  this  , place  on  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit will  not  regret  doing  so.  Read  the  advertisement 
carefully  and  send  on  your  entries.  They  will  not  he 
received  if  dated  after  April  1st.  The  terms  are  liberal 
and  to  all  who  in. end  to  go  East  this  year  we  advise  a 
visit  to  Buffalo.   Read  the  advertisement  and  act  at  once. 


THERE  is  an  air  of  mystery  surrounding  the  purchase 
of  the  new  race  track  on  the  old  San  Jose  Road.  In 
the  course  of  a  few  weeks  we  will  be  able  to  present  to 
our  readers  a  complete  history  of  the  purchase  and  an 
outline  of  what  will  be  done  to  make  it  one  of  the 
finest  race  course's  in  tbB  United  States.

The  Napa  Meeting. 


Notwithstanding  the  earnest  efforts  of  the  local  jour- 
nals of  Napa,  as  well  as  the  appeals  of  the  directors  of 
the  Agricultural  Association,  to  the  business  men  there 
to  subscribe  the  small  amount  of  $1,000  to  aid  them  in 
giving  a  race  meeting  this  fall,  their  labors  were 
in  vain,  and  the  directors  were  compelled  to  notify  us 
that  no  racing  would  take  place  at  Napa  this  year. 

This  conclusion  on  the  part  of  the  zealous  and  hard- 
working officers  is  to  be  regretted,  especially  when  the 
races  given  throughout  the  circuit  promise  to  be  better 
contested,  that  more  horses  are  to  be  entered,  and  that 
greater  rivalry  is  known  to  exist  among  the  leading  sta- 
bles than  ever. 

While  we  believe  it  will  be  of  no  avail  to  try  and 
convince  the  people  of  Napa  that  they  have  made  a  mis- 
take, we  cannot  resist  the  temptation  of  reprinting  the 
following  editorial  from  the  Napa  Journal,  which  was 
published  prior  to  the  last  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors: 

"  Can  we  have  a  successful  Fair  this  year  in  Napa  without 
the  horse-racing  feature  ?  is  a  question  that  is  now  agitating 
the  minds  of  the  Directors  of  the  Napa  Agricultural  Associ- 
ation. The  Directors  do  not  think  it  po'sible,  but  they  do 
not  feel  disposed  to  assume  the  responsibility  of  offering  the 
usual  purses  unless  the  general  public  guarantee  at  least 
$1,000  to  meet  any  possible  deficiency.  If  this  sum  is  not 
forthcoming,  the  Directors  state  that  there  will  be  no  horse 
racing  this  year,  but  tbat  the  Fair  will  consist  simply  of  a 
pavilion  exhibit  in  town  and  a  stock  and  poultry  exhibit  at 
the  race  track. 

We  are  not  a  horseman  and  are  too  near-sighted  to  thor- 
oughly enjoy  a  race,  but  we  are  firmly  of  the  belief  that  with- 
out racing  the  fair  will  be  a  failure.  As  Director  Loeber  ex- 
presses it,  "  If  we  are  only  to  have  a  pavilion  exhibit  and  a 
stock  show,  the  people  of  Napa  might  just  as  well  sit  down 
and  swap  jack-knives."  It's  the  horse  racing  that  brings 
outsiders  to  the  fair.  Take  that  feature  away  and  few,  if 
any,  strangers  will  be  attracted.  Of  course  some  will  say  that 
with  the  horse  racing  there  always  comes  a  long  string  of 
sure-thing  gamblers,  which  to  a  certain  extent  is  true,  but 
fortunately  there  is  no  law  to  compel  anyone  to  participate 
in  their  games,  and  if  our  people  have  sense  enough  to  leave 
them  alone  the  gamblers  will  be  compelled  to  confine  their 
operations  to  their  own  fraternity,  which,  we  are  glad  to  note, 
they  have  done  almost  exclusively  since  the  year  of  our 
first  fair. 

"No  one,  we  think,  will  contend  that  horse-racing  in  itself 
is  an  evil,  and  while  it  brings  with  it  things  we  do  not  like 
and  do  not  endorse,  does  not  the  figure  it  cuts  in  making  a 
successful  Fair  more  than  overbalance  the  evils  that  accom- 
pany it  ?  We  think  it  does.  And  can  Napa  aflord  to  jeopar- 
dize the  success  of  her  Fair  by  failure  to  offer  the  inducements 
that  attract  straneers?  Every  year  that  a  Fair  has  been  held 
here  from  $20,000  to  $30,000  have  been  distributed  among 
our  people — money  that  has  come  from  strangers  and  people 
outside  of  the  city.  The  butcher,  the  hotel  and  restaurant 
keeper,  the  grocer,  the  private  family  with  spare  rooms,  the 
laborer,  have  all  received  a  portion.  In  short,  there  is  no 
disputing  the  fact  that  the  Napa  Fair  has  returned  more 
substantial  benefit  to  this  community  than  any  other  single 
enterprise  that  has  been  undertaken.  The  Midwinter  Fair, 
now  in  progress  in  San  Francisco,  is  taking  money  from  us 
which  we  hope  to  get  back  some  time  in  the  future;  the 
Napa  Fair  brings  money  into  town  which  the  people  get  the 
benefit  of  at  once.  A  subscription  of  $1,000  in  order  to  insure 
a  successful  fa;r  this  year  is  but  a  small  matter  compared 
with  the  benefits  the  community  will  derive.  It  is  simplv  an 
exchange  of  that  amount  for  twenty  or  thirty  times  $1,000. 
The  money  asked  should  be  guaranteed." 


Detroit's  Great  Meeting. 

The  Detroit  Driving  Club  announces  in  this  issue  its 
great  Blue  Ribbon  Meeting  for  1894  which  is  to  com- 
mence July  16th  and  end  on  July  20th.  The  track  is 
the  fastest  in  the  world ;  it  is  perfectly  new,  and  as 
springy  as  it  can  possiby  be  made  excellent  time  is  ex- 
pected to  be  made  on  it.  The  grounds  surrounding  the 
track  are  fitted  up  with  finest  of  grandstands,  a  club 
house  second  to  none  in  America  and  rows  of  splendid 
stalls  and  stables. 

The  purses  offered  for  two,  three  and  four  year  olds  are 
of  the  kind  to  attract  every  owner,  trainer  and  driver  of 
a  good  horse  in  the  United  States.  Only  three  specials 
for  two,  three  and  four  year  olds  and  the  great  mer- 
chants and  manufacturers  purse  of  $10,000  for  2:24  class 
trotters  is  published.  In  each  of  the  specials  $2,000  is 
offered  and  the  conditions  of  all  these  races  are  so  liberal 
that  a  large  list  of  entries  should  be  sent  to  the  Secre- 
tary. Besides  these  races  there  will  be  a  number  of 
others  provided  for  horses  that  go  there.  Entries  to 
these  four  events,  however,  wi'l  close  April  2nd. 


The   Petaluma  Fair. 


The  great  ten  days'  meeting  at  Cumberland  Park, 
Nashville,  Tennessee,  should  not  be  overlooked  by  those 
of  our  California  horsemen  who  intend  to  "take  in"  the 
Eastern  circuit.  The  advertisement  appears  in  our  col- 
umns, and  as  entries  will  close  April  2d  no  time  is  to  be 
lost.  The  fame  of  the  Nashville  track  is  world  wide, 
and  as  some  of  our  most  prominent  horsemen  are  to 
make  their  first  journey  East  with  strings  of  trotters  this 
year,  it  would  be  well  for  them  to  make  arrangements  to 
visit  this  course  and  have  their  horses  contest  for  some 
of  the  rich  purses  hung  up  there.  Entry  blanks  can  be 
had  at  this  office. 


"  Declaration  Purses  for  Colts,"  is  the  most  promi- 
nent line  in  the  advertisement  of  the  Petaluma  Fair, 
which  appears  for  the  first  time  in  this  issue.  The  fair 
at  Petaluma  is  a  nearer  approach  to  the  State  Fair  at 
Sacramento  than  any  other  held  in  California.  The  dis- 
trict comprises  the  rich  counties  of  Sonoma,  Marin, 
Napa,  Solano,  Contra  Costa,  Yolo,  Lake,  Mendocino 
and  Humboldt,  and  young  horses  from  these  counties 
will  appear.  The  conditions  are  very  liberal,  and  a  large 
entry  list  should  be  read  by  Secretary  Maclay  at  the 
meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  free-for-all 
declaration  purses  for  colts  should  be  patronized  by 
every  owner  of  a  colt  or  filly  in  Caliiornia.  Owing  to 
the  fact  that  Petaluma's  great  fair  will  be  held  the  week 
following  Oakland's  Blue  Ribbon  meeting,  and  the  drop- 
ping of  the  Napa  Fair,  the  chances  for  getting  fairly 
started  on  the  circuit  are  most  favorable.  Entiies  for 
these  colt  purses  will  close  April  7th,  and  everyone  who 
reads  the  advertisement  and  is  the  proud  possessor  of  a 
colt  or  filly  should  make  out  an  entry  and  send  it  in 
at  once. 


MOORLAND    STOOK    FARM    TROTTERS. 


The  Farm  and  Fireside  is  the  great  agricultural  and 
family  journal  of  America.  It  is  issued  twice  a  month, 
and  contains  from  20  to  28  pages  full  of  valuable  infor- 
mation on  all  items  of  interest  to  the  farm  and  home 
circle.  It  is  original  in  its  scope,  unceasing  in  its  efforts 
and  vigorous  in  its  policy.  Its  articles  on  home  topics 
contain  the  happiest  and  brightest  suggestions  on  home 
comforts  and  adornments.  It  bubbles  over  with  inter- 
esting and  remunerative  matter  foreign  to  any  other 
paper.  There  is  not  another  paper  like  it  at  any  price. 
It  is  us°,ful  to  the  farmer,  the  gardener,  the  fruit  grower, 
the  housewife  and  the  boys  and  girls.  You  want  it,  yuu 
need  it  and  you  should  have  it.  Given  free  with  every 
new  subscription  to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 


Entries  for  the  colt  purses  to  be  contested  for  at  the 
fair  in  San  Jose  will  close  April  lst,and  from  the  liberal 
amount  of  entries  made  to  other  associations  in  less 
favored  sections,the  list  to  be  received  by  Secretary  Ben- 
son in  San  Jose  will  compare  most  favorably.  There 
are  three  free-for-all  purses  that  should  attract  the  at- 
tention of  all  our  horsemen.  As  the  Napa  Association 
will  not  hold  a  fair  this  year,  horsemen  must  take  ad- 
vantage of  every  opportunity  of  getting  their  colts  and 
fillies  entered,  and  the  liberal  terms  of  entry  advertised 
by  the  progressive  association  in  the  Garden  City  should 
be  an  inducement  not  to  be  overlooked.  Read  the  ad- 
vertisement, then  fill  out  your  entry  blanks  and  send 
them  in.

Association  is  due  to  arrive  in  this  city  to-day. 


The  Year  Book  rejects  97  performances  of  1893.  Among 
them  is  the  mile  in  2:09|,  trotted  by  Guy  during  the  Grand 
Circuit  meeting  at  Detroit  last  July.  This  is  the  fastest  per- 
formance by  a  trotting  gelding,  and  is  accepted  by  the  turf 
authorities  as  placing  Guy  in  the  2:10  class,  though  accord- 
ing to  the  Year  Book,  his  mark  is  still  2:10  j,  made  in  1889. 
Last  September  at  Windsor,  Ont,  the  stallion  Gold  King 
trotted  in  2:12^,  the  best  mile  for  that  gait  ever  scored  ia 
Canada  ;  but  this  is  also  thrown  out  by  the  Register  Associa- 
tihn.  Another  record  made  across  the  border  which  is  not 
accepted  is  that  of  the  filly  Wild  Crocus,  who  trotted  in  2:25f 
at  Hamilton  as  a  two-year-old,  the  fastest  mile  for  that_age 
in  Canada. 

State  Fish  and  Game  Protector  H.  D.  McGuire,  of

bleton  Mambrino,  to  Wm.  Frazier,  of  Portland,  Oregon. 
Hamrock  was  a  great  race  horse  on  the  Oregon  Circuit  last 
year.  Starting  in  the  slow  classes  was  only  defeated  in  two 
races  out  of  eight  start,  and  retiring  with  a  record  of  2:22  as

Montana's  State  veterinarian  has  recommended  the  es- 
tablishment of  abattoirs  and  the  slaughtering  of  horses  as  the 
most  feasible  means  of  distributing  the  surplus  equine  pro- 
duct or  that  commonwealth.  He  advances  the  theory  that 
hor^e-meat  could  be  exported  to  continental  Europe  and  there 
sold  at  a  profit,  while  the  bones,  hoofs  and  tallow  could  be  dis- 
posed of  in  the  home  market.

Judgment   in   the   First   Suit  in   Favor  of  D.    J. 
Murphy's  Mother. 


The  first  judgment  rendered  in  any  of  the  many  pending 
suits  instituted  to  get  shares  of  the  estate  of  D.  J.  Murphy, 
the  dead  horseman,  of  Milpitas,  Santa  Clara  county,  was  that 
of  yesterday  in  the  action  of  Mrs.  Ann  Murphy  against  the 
administrator,  Edward  W.  Clayton  It  was  quite  a  victory 
for  the  mother  of  the  deceased,  who  claims  that  quite  a  por- 
tion of  the  estate  of  D  J.  Murphy,  or  rather  of  the  property 
inventoried  as  part  of  the  estate,  was  held  by  him  during  his 
life  in  trust  for  her. 

The  action  was  to  recover  twenty-six  head  of  valuable 
horses,  being  a  part  of  this  trust  property  and  valued  at  about 
$9,000.  Two  days  were  occupied  in  the  argument  of  the 
case.  Judge  Reynolds  then  rendered  his  decision.  First, 
he  held  that  the  estate  of  D.  J.  Murphy  is  entitled  to  the 
three  horses,  Lady  Wilson  and  her  two  colts,  because  no  evi- 
dence was  adduced  to  show  that  D.  J.  Murphy  had  purchased 
or  reared  the  horses  with  Mrs.  Murphy's  money,  or  that  Mrs. 
Murphv  ever  had  any  claim  on  them.  They  were  valued  at 
about  $1,000,  but  since  the  suit  was  instituted  Lady  Wilson 
died. 

As  to  'he  draft  horses,  valued  at  about  $3,000,  the  Court 
held  that  the  plaintiff  is  entitled  to  them;  that  L).  J.  Murphy 
held  possession  of  them  merely  as  her  agent.  They  came  to 
her  as  a  part  of  the  property  left  her  by  her  husband,  James 
Murphy,  deceased.  She  is,  therefore,  entitled  to  them  as 
against  the  estate  or  its  creditors.  As  to  Danton  Moultrie, 
Governor  Pico,  Clyde,  Laroka  and  the  other  trotting  horses, 
all  of  which  are  valued  at  about  $5,000,  the  Court  ruled  that 
Mrs.  Murphy  is  entitled  to  them  as  against  Clayton  as  admin- 
istrator of  the  estate,  but  if  the  estate  is  found  to  be  insolvent 
she  is  not  entitled  to  them  as  against  the  creditors  of  the  es- 
tate. 

The  conditional  decision  was  made  io  view  of  the  fact  that 
Clayton  maintains  that  the  estate  is  insolvent.  The  testimony 
showed  that  while  the  horses  were  purchased  with  Mrs.  Mur- 
phy's money  and  held  in  trust  for  her,  D.  J.  Murphy  bought 
them  in  his  own  name  and  held  ihem,  as  supposed  by  his 
creditors,  as  his  individual  property. 

One  of  the  best  campaigning  stables  of  1894  promises  to  be 
under  the  command  of  that  cool-headed,  astute  driver,  Gen- 
eral John  E.  Turner.  In  his  list  will  be  those  famous  pacers 
Mascot,  2:04,  and  George  ShermarJ,  2:19.[,  and  such  trotters 
as  Bellini,  2:13^ ;  William  Penn,  2:12j  at  three  years  old  ; 
Jettie,  2:18^  at  four  years  old,  and  Monroe  Wilkes,  2:174;. 
He  will  also  have  some  very  promising  green  ones. 

The  Kalamazoo  Farm,  Mich.,  will  have  a  strong  stable  out 
during  the  coming  season.  W.  P.  Maloney,  the  well-known 
trainer,  will  be  again  in  charge,  and  at  the  head  of  the  string 
will  be  Belle  Vara,  2:08f,  who  has  wintered  well  and  should 
be  good  in  the  free-for-alls.  Vassar,  2:ll£ ;  Ambulator,  2:30 
as  a  yearling;  Dancourt,  2:21};  General  Alger,  2:24,  and 
other  fast  ones  will  complete  the  stable. 

Dictatus,  the  grandly  bred  son  of  Red  Wilkes  and  Lottie 
by  Dictator  is  attracting  the  attention  of  breeders.  A  colt 
or  filly  by  him  out  of  a  well-bred  mare  would  bring  a  high 
price  at  any  time.  In  fact,  the  owner  of  such  a  youngster 
would  not  part  with  it  unless  for  a  good  round  sum. 

S.  H.  Hoy,  of  Winters,  has  some  good  material  in  prepara- 
tion for  the  races.  He  has  a  Sable  Wilkes  colt  out  of  the 
dam  of  Senator  L.,  2:29i,  a  Dexter  mare  out  of  Pocahontas, 
the  famous  pacer,  Monroe  S.,  2:20,  Truckee  S.,  Bradtmore, 
2:26},  and  several  other  very  promising  ones. 

Along  with  many  other  complimentary  remarks,  it  may 
be  said  that  California  breeders  display  good  sense  in  naming 
their  horses.  Some  of  the  prettiest  and  sweetest-soundiog 
names  in  horsedom  have  been  given  to  horses  bred  in  Cali- 
fornia.— Western  Breeder. 

The  American-bred  mare  Nellie  R.,  2:21  J,  by  Santa  Claus, 
captured  first  money  in  the  first-class  purse  in  Russia  recently. 
The  distance  was  two  miles,  which  she  covered  in  5:15i,  and 
only  defeated  her  nearest  opponent  by  half  a  second. 

The  great  trotting  stallion  Silver  Bow,  2:16,  is  at  the  Oak- 
land Race  Track  with  a  number  of  other  fast  trotters.  This 
horse  will  make  a  season  there.  Fuller  particulars  will  be 
published  in  our  nest  issue. 

The  Dictator  mare  Choice  has  been  bred  to  Pilot  Medium. 
She  is  the  dam  of  Miri,  yearling  record  2:38 ij,  and  Stamboula, 
sire  of  Precious,  2:25,  and  is  out  of  Coral,  the  dam  of  Coral- 
loid,2:m.  

Horse  business  must  be  improving  up  north  as  the  Rura 
Spirit  come  to  us  with  more  turf  news  than  usual.

DOING-3  IN  DOGDOM. 


The  dog  poisoning  fiend  has  again  broke  loose  in  Berkeley. 

A  patch  of  color  on  a  bull  terrier  is  no  looger  considered  a 
disqualification  in  Eogland. 

England  pays  taxes  on  1,128,000  dogs,  and  it  is  estimated 
that  in  Great  Britain  there  are  2,000,000  more  that  are  not 
taxed.  

Among  our  new  kennel  advertisements  this  week  will  be 
found  a  card  from  .Mr.  J.  B.  Martin,  who  advertises  a  pair  of 
graodly-bred  foxterrier  puppies. 

Messrs.  J.  Cf.  Barker  and  Dr.  A.  T.  Regensburger  will 
kindly  accept  our  thanks  for  beautiful  photographs  of  the  St. 
Bernard  dogs  California  Bernardo  and  Reglov. 

Dr.  A.  T.    Regenburger's    well-known  R.    C.   St.    Bernard 
met  with  a  bad  accident  la^t  week.     While    engaged 
in  a  tight  with  his  kennel  companion,  Marc  Antony,  one  of 
his  eyes  were  badly  injured. 

The  citizens  of  San  Mateo  have  offered  a  reward  of  $250  for 
evidence  that  will  lead  to  the  arrest  and  conviction  of  the 
persons  who  have  been  scattering  poison  about  that  town  with 
the  intention  of  lessening  the  dog  population. 

The  Stockton  dog  men  are  still  agitating  the  question  of 
organizing  a  kennel  club  to  hold  a  show  under  A.  K.  C.  rules 
daring  the  Annual  Agricultural  Fair.  Our  latest  advice  is 
that  there  will  be  thirty  names  on  the  charter  list  in  place  of 
twenty.  

The  match  race  between  John  McMahon's  greyhound 
Wild  wood  and  Henry  Rumble's  Pennie  was  run  off  near 
Florin  yesterday.  There  were  five  heats.  Each  dog  had  two, 
but  Peunie  won  the  race.  Thomas  Davis,  of  Florin,  was 
judge,  Charles  Gallagher  slipper,  John  Buckley  field  steward 
and  Fred  Zeigler  President  nf  fKp  Hay. 

A  gamekeeper  on  the  K^iiugion  estate  last  year,  came 
across  a  fox  cub  about  three  weeks  old.  He  had  with  him  at 
the  time  a  retriever  bitch,  who  had  milk  on  her  at  the  time. 
To  his  utter  bewilderment  the  bitch  took  up  the  cub  aud 
carried  it  home,  and  nursed  it  till  it  grew  up.  It  should  be 
mentioned  that  the  relriever  had  never  had  pups  of  her  own. 
This  circumstauce  may  have  caused  the  animal's  craving  for 
a  young  one  to  nurse  and  hnn»  nr». 

There  will  be  a  meeing  of  dog  fanciers  and  sportsmen  at 
Judge  Cliffs  Court  Room,  8th  and  Broadway,  Oakland,  on 
Tuesday  evening  next,  to  settle  the  preliminaries  of  the  bench 
show  that  will  be  held  in  May  next  by  the  Alameda  Countv 
Sportsmen's  Association.  This  organization,  although  but 
one  month  old,  has  sixty-one  members  already.  All  dog- 
fanciers  and  sportsmen  are  cordially  invited  to  attend  this 
meeting,  and  if  they  so  desire,  join  the  club.  The  initiation 
is  only  one  dollar.     Month  lv  rlnps2o  cents. 

Mr.  L.  L.  Campbell,  proprietor  of  the  Glenmore  Kennels 
at  West  Berkeley,  shipped  his  Irish  setter  bitch  Maid  of 
Glenmore  30,DS1  hy  Finglas — Betsy  Crafts  to  Portland,  Ore- 
gon, on  Wednesday  las'  to  be  bred  to  Carroll  Hughes,  well- 
known  Challenge  winner  Beau  Brummel,  by  Champ.  Elcho 
Jr. — Red  Rose.  Beau  Brummel  won  in  the  open  class  at 
New  York,  Pittsburgh  and  VVaslington  in  1S91.  Entering 
the  Challenge  Class  in  less  than  one  month'scxhibiting  under 
four  different  judges.  At  New  York  the  same  year  he  won 
the  Irish  Setter  Sweepstakes,  ninety-six  in  competition.  Un- 
questionably one  of  the  best  Irish  setters  on  the  bench  in 
America  he  is  also  a  thoroughly-broken  field  dog,  staunch 
and  level-headed.  His  blood  combined  with  the  Finglas 
blood  in  Maid  of  Glenmore  should  produce  stock  of  unusual 
merit.  Mr.  Campbell's  enterprise  shown  by  his  sending  his 
hitches  East  and  North  to  be  bred  to  the  be  t  in  the  land,  is 
commendable,  and  we  wish  him  the  best  of  luck  with  the  lit- 
ter.

This,  the  greatest  event  of  the  year  in  England,  and, 
indeed,  in  the  world  among  coursing  enthusiasts,  commenced 
on  the  22d  of  February  last  on  the  famous  Altcar  grounds 
near  Liverpool,  and  was  finished  on  the  24th. 

The  weather  interfered  somewhat  with  the  complete  suc- 
cess of  the  meeting  on  the  first  day,  but  after  that  every- 
thing worked  smoothly  aud  the  meeting  terminated  in  the 
most  successful  manner. 

Texture,  the  winner  of  the  Cup  on  this  occasion,  is  the 
property  of  the  popular  Russian  sportsman,  Count  Stroganoff, 
who  purchased  her  for  110  guineas  on  January  last.  Texture 
is  a  red  bitch  by  Herschel.  The  stock  of  this  dog  has  been 
singularly  fortunate  in  this  meeting,  as  the  runner-up  for  the 
cup,  Falconer,  is  also  by  him,  as  well  as  the  divider  of  the 
purse,  Happy  Relic,  and  the  divider  of  the  plate,  Free  Kick. 
This  surely  is  the  greatest  triumph  that  any  stud  dog  in 
England  or  in  any  country  has  yet  achieved. 

The  betting  on  the  dogs,  it  seems,  was  very  heavy,  and 
thousands  of  pounds  must  have  been  won  and  lost  by  the 
sports.  As  we  have  not  room  for  the  full  report  of  the  great 
meeting,  we  give  the  result  of  the  courses  by  the  winner  of 
the  Cup. 

THE  WATERLOO   CUP. 

President:  The  Earl  of  Sefton.  Committee:  Sir  W  C 
Anstruther,  Sir  T  Brocklebank,  Sir  R  Jardine,  Mr  A  Brisco, 
Mr.  G  N  Fawcett,  Mr  R  F  Gladstone.  Stewards:  Mr  M 
Fletcher,  Mr  A  J  Humphrey,  Captain  McCalmont,  Mr  W 
Paterson.  Flag  Steward  :  Mr  A  Brisco.  Slip  Stewards : 
E  Jolly,  J.  Bootiman.  Field  Stewards:  Mr  J  H  Bibby,  Mr 
J  Brundrit,  Mr  M  G  Hale,  Major  Holmes,  Mr  W  H  Smith 
(K),  Mr  J  Trevor,  Mr  T  Tyler,  Mr  W  Ward.  Judge:  Mr  T 
Hedley.  Slipper,  T  Bootiman.  Hon.  Secretary :  Mr  Har- 
old Brocklebank.     Assistant  Secretary  :  Mr  John  Bell. 

First  Round — Texture  beat  Lady's  Fan — Texture  showed 
in  front  directly  after  leaving  slips,  and  led  four  lengths ;  she 
overshot  a  little,  but  got  back  for  second,  and  then  gave  her 
opponent  a  chance  through  puss  dodging  at  a  draio.  Text- 
ure, going  with  a  lot  of  fire,  got  in  again  and  shifted 
puss  to  her  opponent,  and  the  kill  came  off. 

Second  Round — Texture-Free  Kick — Free  Kick  and  Tex- 
ture had  a  twisty  run-up,  and  the  former  got  first  to  the  hare. 
Texture  fairly  outworked  her  (opponent  in  a  course  of  medium 
length,  and  finished  with  a  good  kill. 

Third  Round — Texture-Grey  Crow — Grey  Crow  was  show- 
ing in  front  of  Texture,  when  the  hare  came  to  the  latter, 
who  went  on  in  smart  possession,  and,  scoring  very  fast,  won 
a  nice  working  course  decisively. 

Fourth  Round — Texture-MellorMoor — Betting:  2  to  1  on 
Texture — Texture  led  Mellor  Moor  two  lengths,  and  smartly 
got  up  for  the  second.  Mellor  Moor  made  a  good  fight,  but 
Texture  was  too  smart  in  a  nice  little  working  course,  and 
when  Mellor  Moor  killed,  his  opponent  was  a  dncisive  win- 
ner: 

Fifth  Round — Texture-Ivan  the  Great — Betting:  100  to 
30  on  Texture. — From  a  good  slip  Texture  at  once  showed  to 
the  fore,  and  scored  the  turn  two  lengths  clear.  Shefollowed 
round  ou  the  line  for  the  second,  when  Ivan  the  Great  took 
the  hare,  scored  twice,  and  put  puss  to  Texture,  who,  al- 
though challenged,  served  her  game  twice,  killed,  and  won 
decisively. 

Final — Texture-Falconer — Betting:  9  to  4  on  Falconer — 
The  fifth  round  was  finished  at  12:45,  and,  consequent  on  the 
Purse  and  Plate  resulting  in  divisions,  a  wait  followed,  it 
beins  1:20  when  Bootiman  took  them  in  charge.  He  came 
out  at  1:22  to  a  hare  which  kept  too  wide  to  get  at,  and  it  was 
precisely  1:24  (Liverpool  time)  when  the  slip  was  made. 
For  the  first  time  in  the  contest  Falconer  did  not  get  the 
better  away,  and  a  roar  came  up  from  the  crowd  when  it  was 
seen  that  Count  Stroganoff  s  bitch  was  head  and  shoulders  in 
front.  She  galloped  on  until  leading  nearly  two  lengths,  but 
came  back  a  little,  and  was  only  a  length  to  the  fore  when 
she  scored  the  turn.  Coming  cleanly  round  on  the  line  she 
wrenched  twice,  and  then,  forcing  the  hare  away,  Falconer 
took  charge,  and,  after  putting  on  some  sharp  work,  puss 
broke  forward  and  jumped  a  drain,  which  Texture  crossed  the 
better  and  got  even  with  her  game  on  the  other  side  for  two 
wrenches  and  a  trip,  Falconer  racing  up  and  nailing  the  hare, 
which  was  eventually  killed  between  them.  Every  detail  of 
the  course  could  be  followed  bv  the  crowd,  and  it  was  evident 
that  the  favorite  had  sustained  a  decisive  defeat.  Some  sec- 
onds, however,  elapsed  before  Mr.  Hedley  had  ridden  back 
to  the  fiag  steward  to  deliver  judgment,  and  on  the  white 
being  raised  hearty  rounds  of  cheering  went  up  from  the 
whole  field  in  recognition  of  Texture's  gallant  victory. 

To  show  the  interest  taken  in  this  event  by  all  classes  in 
England  we  give  below  a  list  of  the  betting  on  the  night 
previous  to  the  opening  of  the  meeting,  as  soon  as  the  draw 
was  made  :  Of  course  it  will  be  understood  that  the  betting  is 
on  the  final  result  and  the  amounts  are  pounds.

More  Fox  Terriers  Gone. 


"  Fox  terrier  breeding  is  not  all  roses,"  is  the  remark  with 
which  Mr.  C.  A.  Sumner,  of  Los  ADgeles,  closes  his  letter  to 
us  under  date  of  March  19th. 

On  March  16th  a  friend  of  Mr.  Sumner's  took  Champion 
Blemton  Volunteer,  Bonnie  Buzz,  Blemton  Vesuvian  (Bob) 
and  Belle  out  for  a  run  io  the  country.  While  the  dogs  were 
thoroughly  enjoying  themselves  chasing  ground  squirrels,  all 
of  a  sudden  Volunteer  and  Buzz  keeled  over  and  died  in- 
stantly. The  dogs  were  brought  home  and  Mr.  Sumner  had 
their  stomachs  examined  and  found  them  full  of  poisoned 
wheat. 

Mr.  Sumner  writes  that  the  chemist  has  not  yet  notified 
him  what  the  poison  was,  but  it  was  undoubtedly  strychnine. 
He  also  expresses  surprise  at  their  eating  grain,  but  in  this  be 
is  mistaken  as  almost  any  dog  will  eat  wheat  and  many  ken- 
nel owners  look  upon  it  as  a  sure  prevention  of  worms.  This 
is  indeed  i  sad  loss  to  Mr.  Sumner  andto  fox  terrier  interests, 
and  the  sympathy  of  the  entire  fox  terrier  fraternity  is  ex- 
tended to  him. 

Mr.  Sumner  seems  to  have  more  than  his  share  of  bad 
luck.  It  is  only  a  few  months  ago  that  he  lost  his  bitch  Bon- 
nie Bess. 

Champion  Blemton  Volunteer  was  by  Champion  Result, 
out  of  Champion  Diadem,  and  besides  many  firsts  in  the  open 
class  had  won  first  in  the  Challenge  class  at  New  Orleans, 
Montreal,  Charleston,  Binghamton,  Los  Angeles  and  San 
Francisco. 

Bonnie  Buzz  was  by  Blemton  Shiner,  out  of  Bonnie  Bess, 
and  won  second  puppy  and  second  open  class,  Los  Angeles, 
1 1892. 


No  Show  in  Portland. 


The  Columbia  Kennel  Club  has  decided  that  it  is  imprac- 
icable  to  hold  a  bench  show  in  this  city  the  coming  season. 
This  action  was  caused  mainly  by  the  failure  of  the  Pacific 
31ub.  of  San  Francisco,  and  the  Seattle  Club  deciding  to  not 
loldashow.  The  dropping  out  of  these  two  clubs  broke  an 
itherwise  good  circuit,  composed  of  Los  Angeles,  San  Fran- 

|  isco,  Portland  and  Seattle.  It  is  t^o  much  to  expect  fan- 
iers  to  send  their  dogs  1,200  miles  for  one  show,  and  conse- 
iueotly  we  could  not  expect  to  secure  the  California  dogs,  lin- 
er the  adverse  conditions  it  was  too  much  risk  for  the  new 
lub  to  undertake. — Northwest  Sportsman. 

[Another  sad  comment  on  the  lack  of  ambition  of  the 
*acific  Kennel  Club,  but  we  fail  to  see  why  the  Columbia  Ken- 
iel  Club  is  not  on   an  equal  footing  with  the  Southern  Cali- 

prnia.  The  latter  is  an  older  club,  but  we  doubt  if  it  is  as 
troog  numerically. — Ed.] 


Los  Angeles  Show. 


The  Southern  California  Kenuel  Club  show  commendable 
enterprise  in  holding  its  show  this  year  after  all  the  other 
clubs  have  abandoned  theirs.  As  the  circuit  was  broken  by 
the  Pacific's  fiasco,  the  Southern  club  could  not  afford  to 
bring  out  an  Eastern  judge,  hut  rather  than  abandon  their 
show  they  have  selected  local  judges. 

What  a  marked  contrast  between  their  action  and  that  of 
(he  San  Francisco  fanciers.  With  nothing  on  earth  to  pre- 
vent them  the  local  men  predict  failure  and  abandon  the  ob- 
ject for  which  the  club  was  organized.  The  Southern  fanciers 
with  everything  against  them  hold  their  show  the  same  as 
ever.  They  deserve  success  and  every  sportsman  and  non- 
sporting  dog  man  both  North  and  South  should  support  them 
with  entries  and  in  every  other  possible  way. 

Of  the  judges  selected  Mr.  R.T.  Vandevort,  of  Pasadena, 
is  well  known  to  every  sporting  dog  man  in  California — we 
might  say  in  America.  There  is  no  other  man  in  the  State 
more  fitted  to  judge  sporting  classes.  Mr.  G.  L.  Waring,  of 
Riverside,  is  an  old  breeder  of  terriers,  and  although  we  have 
not  the  pleasure  of  his  personal  acquaintances,  he  is  verv 
highly  spoken  of  in  the  South.  Of  the  other  judge  we  will 
not  say  anything. 

The  judges  selected  and  their  classes  subject  to  alteration, 
are  as  follows :  Mr.  G.  L.  Waring,  Riverside,  bull  terriers  and 
fox  terriers ;  Mr.  R.  T.  Vandevort,  Pasadena,  pointers  aod 
English  setters  ;  Mr.  A.  Russell  Crowell,  San  Francisco,  St. 
Bernards,  Great  Danes,  Clumbers,  Irish  water,  field  and 
cocker  spaniels,  retrievers,  Chesapeake  bay  dogs,  collies, 
dalmatians,  toy  spaniels,  toy  terriers,  pugs,  poodles  and  mis- 
cellaneous. 

The  balance  of  the  classes  we  have  not  received  up  to  date 
of  going  to  press.     We  will  announce  them  next  week. 


Oakland  Bench  Show. 


One  month  ago  the  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Associa 
tion  was  formed,  with  headquarters  in  Oakland,  Cal.  To-day 
the  club  has  sixty-one  members,  holds  a  blue  rock  shoot 
twice  each  month,  and  at  its  last  meeting  decided  to  give  a 
bench  show  in  May  next.  That  the  show  will  be  a  success 
goes  without  saying.  Such  enthusiasm  as  is  displayed  by  the 
members  of  this  club  would  make  a  success  of  anything  they 
might  choose  to  undertake. 

The  club  has  sent  on  its  application  to  the  A.  K.  C.  for 
membership  and  will  hold  a  show  under  its  rules  in  May, 
probably  a  three-day  show,  from  the  17th  to  the  '20th. 

Cash  prizes  will  be  given,  $3  and  $2  in  open  classes.are  now 
talked  of.  The  classification  will  be  liberal,  and  the  specials 
very  numerous.  A  good  hall  on  the  ground  floor  very  cen- 
trally located  can  be  secured  at  a  very  nominal  figure.  Local 
judges  will  probably  be  selected. 

Every  dog  fancier  in  San  Francisco  should  support  this 
club  with  both  their  moral  and  financial  support.  On  Tues- 
day evening  next  the  club  will  hold  a  meeting  at  Judge 
Cliff's  court  room,  corner  Eighth  and  Broadway,  Oakland. 
The  San  Francisco  fanciers  are  cordially  invited  to  attend. 


Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club. 


A  special  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club  was 
held  at  the  offce  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  on  Tues- 
dry  last  to  settle  the  question  of  cups.  President  H.  W. 
Fores  was  in  the  chair.  The  committee  on  cups  reported 
having  purchased  three  very  pretty  solid  silver  cups  for 
competition  at  the  Los  Angeles  show  and  recommended  the 
purchase  of  four  others  valued  at  $96  that  were  offered  at  a 
great  reduction  at  a  forced  sale.  The  members  present 
adjourned  to  look  at  the  cups  and  decided  to  purchase  them. 
They  will  be  placed  in  the  club  room  aod  can  be  seen  there 
at  any  time  by  members,  breeders  and  their  friends.  These 
cups  will  be  oflered  for  competition  at  either  Stockton  or 
San  Francisco,  either  this  fall  or  next  spring. 


A  recent  issue  of  Forest  and  Stream  contained  the  following 
description  of  the  English  blue  rock  pigeon:  '' Shooters  in 
this  city  have  now  the  opportunity  of  seeing  a  specimen  of 
the  celebrated  live  trap  pigeon  of  Monte  Carlo.  This  pigeon, 
known  as  the  tin  blue  rock,  which  was  in  the  Charles  Lancas- 
ter exhibit  of  shotguns  at  the  World's  Fair,  has  been  on  exhi- 
bition in  tbe  Bandle  Arms  Company's  show  windows  the 
past  week,  and  has  had  many  callersof  shooters,  taxidermists 
and  others.  Nowhere  in  the  world  is  this  "sesame"  of 
puzzling  trap  bird  bred  in  such  large  quantities  and  perfection 
as  at  Lincolnshire,  England,  nor  in  any  country  doeB  so 
much  money  hinge  on  the  killing  of  a  pigeon.  To  kill  75  out 
of  100  is  considered  an  excellent  performance.  The  Monte 
Carlo,  1893,  prize  was  won  on  a  score  of  S2  out  of  100.  The 
pigeon  is  about  one-third  the  size  of  the  American  wild  live 
bird — now  almost  extinct — but  has  about  eight  inches  more 
spread  of  wing.  In  appearance,  color,  it  has  a  blue  bead,  neck, 
breast,  back,  top  of  wing,  feathers  and  tail,  the  under  wing 
feathers  being  white,  as  is  also  the  rump,  Itisin  all  a  bird 
that  for  the  purpose  used  "  do  keep  the  gunsmiths  busy  mak- 
ing fine  guns  to  hit  the  little  fellow  in  his  run  of  the  gauntlet. 
A  glance  at  the  bird  explains  the  reason  the  English  make 
all  matches  'both  barrels.'" 

Tbe  extraordinarily  heavy  falls  of  snow  in  the  mountains 
of  Utah  have  driven  the  wild  animals  from  their  usual  fast- 
nesses, and  in  Salt  Lake  City  recently  the  residents  of  the 
suburbs  of  that  city  have  been  frightened  by  the  unusual 
spectacle  of  ravenous  mountain  lions,  coyotes  and  other  wild 
beasts  prowling  through  the  streets.  The  lions  are  very  bold. 
On  Februaiy  27,  workmen  on  a  boulevard  in  the  northern 
part  of  the  city  saw  two  lions  walk  leisurely  up  a  hillside, 
and  subsequently  it  was  found  they  had  killed  and  half  eaten 
a  horse  near  the  city  cemetery.  March  3,  a  large  lion  came 
out  of  the  City  Creek  canon,  within  four  blocks  of  the  busi- 
ness portion  of  the  city,  and  trotted  through  the  streets  to 
tbe  eastward  not  molesting  anyone,  aod  nobody  cared  to  dis- 
pute its  journey.  Two  hunters  who  had  received  permission 
from  the  City  Council  to  kill  lions  within  the  city  limits, 
brought  in  the  next  dav  the  carcass  of  a  mountain  lion  that 
measured  nine  feet  from  tip  to  tip  and  weighed  three  hun- 
dred pounds. 

The  National  Game,  Bird  and  Fish  Protective  Association 
is  doing  a  great  deal  of  good  in  the  States  of  Illinois,  Wisconsin 
and  Iowa.  The  proposition  of  Mr.  W.  F.  DeWolf  that  each 
member  be  provided  with  an  emblem,  badge  or  button,  is  a 
most  excellent  idea. 


ROD. 

"  He  Got  There." 


There  are  many  men  who  are  capable  of  writing  a  smooth, 
account  of  a  fishing  trip,  and  with  just  enough  of  the  prevar- 
icator in  their  make-up  to  help  them  out  of  any  sort  of  pre- 
dicament they  may  get  into.  They  always  secure  an  immense 
amount  of  game  and  fish,  and  secure  it  in  the  most  remark- 
able manner.  Yet  no  one  ever  disbelieves  them,  as  they  are 
slick  talkers  or  story  writers,  and  everything  appears  reason- 
able^ I  despise  this  class  of  so-called  sportsmen,  and  they 
are  just  legion,  too — for  they  misrepresent  thines  in  such  a 
3hape  that  you  never  know  when  to  believe  them  ;  and,  after 
you  finish  their  screeds,  you  say,  "  Well,  that  is  pretty  slick 
anyway,  whether  it's  true  or  not." 

The  point  is,  the  payers  are  chock  full  of  this  sort  of  gush, 
and  everyone  reads  it,  and  nine  out  of  ten  believe  it.  The 
fact  is,  nowadays,  that  the  writer  of  a  reasonable  article  on 
hunting  and  fishing,  is  the  one  who  gets  the  doughnut,  in  the 
minds  of  the  readers,  while  the  patient  plodder  and  bang  up 
good  gunner  and  angler,  if  he  has  no  style  in  Blinging  ink,  is 
not  in  it  to  any  degree. 

Now,  I  am  in  the  latter  class,  for  I  ain't  got  no  style  at  all, 
and  I  never  took  to  book  larnio',  nohow.  Howsomever,  I 
was  a  born  fisher  and  hunter  and  so  were  my  ancestors  way, 
way  back.  Yes,  way  back  to  the  time  of  tbe  pre-historic  cave 
bear,  while  I  have  documents  to  prove  that  I  am  a  direct 
descendant  of  Jonah.  I  haven't  any  doubt  that  my  fore- 
fathers slaughtered  that  monster  beast  with  clubs  and  spears, 
for  tbey  were  all  fighters,  while,  as  is  well  known,  Jonah 
gave  up  bis  bndy  for  bait. 

But  I  started  in  to  tell  about  a  fishing  trip  of  the  present 
day,  and  you  may  all  depend  that  it  is  truthful.  I  have  hunted 
in  sixteen  States  and  Territories,  and  for  all  kinds  of  game, 
from  a  quail  to  an  elk.  I  have  hunted  for  elephants  and 
tigers  on  their  native  grounds,  and  have  chased  the  gazelle  in 
Persia,  and  the  antelopes  of  Africa  and  our  Western  plains, 
but  I  have  yet  to  find  as  much  excitement  in  the  pursuit  of 
all  other  creatures,  as  I  have  in  angling  for  bullheads  on  Mud 
Lake,  in  the  month  of  June.  I  first  began  bullheading  in 
1869,  and  while  on  a  buck-board  trip  to  Podunk,  and  since 
then  have  not  failed  to  seek  him  in  his  picturesque  fastnesses 
as  often  as  once  every  year,  and  for  the  last  ten  years,  have 
not  missed  encountering  him  several  times  each  season. 

It  is  noble  sport,  and  there  is  nothing  like  it  in  the  world. 
If  I  should  tell  how  many  bullheads  I  have  caught,  it  would 
almost  seem  incredible,  and  then,  besides,  it  is  not  in  my  dis- 
position to  parade  my  prowess  before  a  too  confiding  public. 
If  there  is  anything  I  detest,  it  is  a  man  who  is  forever  parad- 
ing his  wonderful  exploits  and  airing  his  mighty  conquests. 
Then  there  is  another  thing  which  I  despise,  and  it  is  t*hat 
everlasting  way  some  men  have  of  talking  forever  before 
they  begin  on  the  subject  in  hand.  They  talk  a  gicd  deal,  but 
don't  say  anything.  Preliminaries  are  awful  things  and  oc- 
cupy the  big  share  of  the  time  in  this  world.  I  don't  suppose 
I  ever  will  be  a  writer  of  much  merit ;  none  of  our  family 
have  mounted  to  fame  in  the  line  of  pen  and  ink,  and  we 
have  traced  over  ancestors  back  to  the  age  of  the  cave-bear, 
and  Jonah  in  particular.  But  we  are  a  race  of  fishers  and 
hunters,  and  can  and  have  made  our  mark  in  that  line.  But 
what  I  started  to  say  was  that  if  there  is  one  thing  that  I 
detest — it  is  the  habit  some  have  of  talking  all  around  the 
bush  and  never  getting  down  to  biz.  What  I  want  to  have 
you  understand  is  that  if  I  ever  get  to  be  a  renowned  writer  I 
shall  never  waste  time  in  preliminaries.  So  with  these  few 
lines  of  introduction  I  will  start  in  with  the  bullhead  trip, 
which  occurred  the  past  snmmer. 

We  started  at  7  p.  m.,  began  fishing  at  8  P.  M.  and  quit  at 
1  p.  M.  Caught  eighty-two  bullheads.  Bait,  one  pint  worms 
and  two  pints  whisky.  The  fish  got  one-third  of  the  bait. 
This  story  is  absolutely  truthful,  and  as  I  dislike  prelimina- 
ries I  have  given  only  facts.  — "  Ewers  Trewleigh,"  in  The

The  Hearing  of  Fishes. 


In  India,  China  and  Burmah  there  are  fish  ponds  where 
the  fish  are  fed  every  day  by  monks  and  priests  who  blow 
shells,  ring  bells  and  halloo  to  their  finny  charges  to  come  to 
their  meals.  One  of  these  ponds  will  be  as  smooth  and  calm 
as  possible  before  the  call,  but  an  instant  after  the  observer 
will  see  heads  and  fins  shooting  up  all  over  the  water,  and 
the  rush  for  the  spot  where  the  fish  get  their  food  is  like  the 
scamper  of  a  flock  of  domestic  fowls  for  the  farm  house  gate 
when  the  "chick!  chick!"  of  the  housewife  calls  them  to 
dinner.  Up  over  the  hill  back  of  Hiogo,  Japan,  there  is  a 
tea  house  often  visited  by  travelers  for  a  fish  breakfast  and  a 
look  at  the  beautiful  cascade  near  the  garden.  Just  back  of 
this  charming  resort  is  a  large  fish  pood  looked  after  by  a 
family  who  make  nearly  as  much  showing  the  fish  to  visitors 
as  by  selling  to  the  market  coolies.  If  you  ask  to  see  tbe  fish, 
one  of  the  members  of  the  family  will  take  two  pieces  of  bam- 
boo and  strike  them  together  several  times;  the  dry,  hollow 
canes  give  out  a  sound  like  a  muffled  drum,  and  the  fish  rise 
all  over  the  pond  and  come  to  a  small  landing  where  they 
are  fed  and  fondled  by  both  their  keepers  aod  visitors,  as 
they  are  quite  tame.  Hundreds  of  experiments  have  been 
made  to  determine  if  fish  possess  the  sense  of  hearing,  and 
they  invariably  result  in  convincing  the  observer  that  they 
not  only  hear,  but  have  very  quick  earB. — London  Rod  and

inst.  from  the  trout  hatchery  in  Sonoma  county  with  10,000 
Eastern  brook  trout  to  be  placed  in  the  streams  in  that  vicin- 
ity. J.  B.  Dorr  and  Dr.  Evans  took  a  portion  of  the  fish  to 
the  head  of  little  Napa  creek  ;  H.  H.  Knapp  and  Wm.  West 
stocked  Milliken  creek,  and  Chas.  Pearch,  C.  B.  Arnold  and 
D.  S.  Kyser  took  one-third  of  them  off  the  train  at  Oak  Knoll 
and  put  them  in  Dry  creek. 

Tarpon  fishing  in  Florida  has  begun  unusually  early  this

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  County  Club  shoot  to-day.  The  Recreation  Gun  Club 
to-morrow.  

Mr.  E.  D.  Tulford  defeated  Frank  P.  Class  on  March  3d  in 
a  fifty  bird  race,  with  a  score  of  47  to  46. 

Our  promised  review  of  the  methods  of  game  protection  in 
the  best  protected  Eastern  States  has  not  arrived  yet. 

"Slade"  is  shooting  in  great  form  this  year.  On  Sunday 
last  he  killed  thirty  birds  straight  at  Oakland  Track,  defeat- 
ing RobiDson,  Fay  and  others. 


Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.'s  50  bird  match  at  inanimates 
on  April  1st,  at  their  shooting  grounds,  at  Oakland  Race 
Track,  promises  to  bring  out  a  large  entry. 

A  blue  rock  tournament,  to  be  held  just  after  the  State 
Tournament,  on  the  Recreation  grounds  at  the  Midwinter 
Fair,  is  talked  of.    The  prizes  will  be  well  worth  winning. 


Several  new  appointments  of  delegates  to  the  Sportsmen's 
Convention  have  been  made  by  tbe  Boards  of  Supervisors. 
The  interest  in  the  convention  is  very  great  throughout  the 
Slate.  

The  interest  in  the  Midwinter  Fair  Tournament,  to  be  held 
by  the  Stale  Sportsmen's  Association  at  Oakland  Race  Track 
on  April  5-8,  promises  to  bring  out  a  very  large  attendance 
from  all  over  the  State.  

The  Recrealion  Gun  Club  will  hold  its  first  regular 
monthly  shoot  of  the  season  at  10  a.  m.  Sunday,  March  25,  at 
Oakland  Race  Track.  A  new  mechanism  for  shot  guns  will 
be  demonstrated  and  a  new  Smokeless  powder  will  be  tested. 
Members  of  the  club  will  take  the  0  o'clock  boat. 


The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Club  have  limited  their 
membership  to  forty  and  will  incoiporate  shortly.  The  ark 
will  be  towed  to  Tiburon  for  the  convenience  of  members  and 
their  families  during  the  summer  months.  It  will  be  very, 
convenient  lor  fishing  parlies. 

To  have  five  of  their  guns  used  in  a  25-bird  contest  and 
have  them  finish  in  one,  two,  three,  four  order,  is  a  record  of 
which  any  firm  may  be  proud,  yet  this  is  the  record  made  by 
the  Parkers  at  Marion  on  February  27,  when  they  took  first 
alone,  second  alone,  one  divided  third  with  a  Greener,  and 
two  were  in  fourth  place  along  with  an  h.  O.  Smith. 

It  in  reported  that  M.  Journu,  ibe  French  pigeon  crack 
■old  his  gnu,  with  which  he  had  won  so  many  hig  prizes  in 
the  la*l  nine  years,  to  Count  Zkhy  for  $7">U  and  a  new  gun. 
[be  rod  with  which  Count  Zichy  won  the  Grand  Prix 
at  Monte  Carlo  [his  year.  From  the  moment  he  parted  from 
his  old  weapon  Journu  it*  said  to  have  shot  in  poor  form, while 
Count  Zichy  u*ed  it  and  won  the  first  prize  in  the  big  annual 
shoot.— Foreet  and  Stream. 


Sitteen  members  and  guests  of  the  Country  Club  went  out 

to  their  pre§erve  on  Sunday  last  by  special  train,  to  slaughter 

Mue-jny»,but  the  clerk  ot  the  weather  conspired  against  them. 

The  rain  protected  the  bluc-jaya  to  ihe  detriment  of  the  com- 

ing  broods  of  quail,  tbe    entire  party    only    killing  seven  or 

eight  of  the  pasta.     The  disappointment  was  great,  as  sides 

had  been  chosen  and  a  wager  made  on  ihe  result.     The  blue- 

jay    dinner,  however,  left    but    little    to  be    desired.     Nine 

mounted  blue -jays  adorned  the  table.     Some  were  suspended 

over  the  heads  of  the   guesU,  others,  mounted   in   grotesque 

ttitades,  wen    scattered  over  Ihe  festal   board.     Needless  to 

dd,  the  cuisine  could , not  be   improved  upon  and    was  fully 

ppreciattd  by  the  stormbound  Hportsmeo. 


The  first  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  Lincoln  Gun  Club 
at  their  shooting  grounds  on  March  lSth  was  very  well  at- 
tended. 

First  place  in  the  regular  club  event  at  20  singles  was  won 
by  Daniels  with  17,  Karney  and  Burns  following  close  on  his 
heels  with  16' each.  The  second  class  medal  was  taken  by

The  Gun  Olub. 


Eighteen  members  of  the  Gun  Club  faced  the  traps  at  Oak- 
land Race  Track  on  Saturday  last.  The  weather  wes  all  that 
could  be  desired.  A  strong  wind  blew  across  the  traps  and  in 
consequence  quite  a  number  of  birds  fell  dead  out  of  bounds. 
The  birds  were  a  mixed  lot,  some  of  them  exceedingly  6wift 
flyers  and  some  refusing  to  fly.  As  is  always  the  case  when 
the  birds  fly  unevenly  the  scores  contain  more  than  the  usual 
number  of  "  goose  eggs." 

Mr.  W.  J.  Golcher  shot  very  well,  killing  his  birds  near 
the  traps  with  the  first  barrel  and  not  allowing  them  to  get 
well  started — the  only  way  to  shoot  swift  flyers.  He  scored 
eleven,  his  sixth  bird  just  clearing  the  fence.  Mr.  P.  J. 
Donahue,  a  new  member  of  the  club  and  F.  D.  Atherton  were 
the  leaders  in  the  28  yard  class.  Each  securing  ten.  Mr.  A. 
Russell  Crowell  officiated  as  referee.    The  score.

The  Sportsmen's  Convention. 

The  request  of  the  Fly  Casting  committee  that  they  be 
appointed  as  delegates  to  the  Sportsmen's  Convention  on 
April  lOlh  has  been  refused  by  Governor  Markham  with 
many  regrets.  The  resolution  under  which  the  convention 
was  called  was  for  twenty  delegates  at  large  and  two  from 
each  county.  For  reasons  that  our  readers  can  readily  un- 
derstand it  was  impossible  to  add  a  special  delegation  inter- 
ested in  fish  alone.  The  delegates  appointed  are  representa- 
tive sportsmen,  as  greatly  interested  in  the  preservation  of 
fish  as  they  are  of  game.  Two  of  tbe  delegates  at  large  are 
members  of  the  Fish  Commission  and  all  in  all  we  may  take 
it  for  granted  that  the  fish  interests  will  not  suffer.  The 
county  Board  of  Snperv;sors  have  appointed  the  following 
delegates,  in  addition  to  those  given  last  week.  San  Benito 
county,  W.  P.  Steinbeck  and  J,  R.  Grubb  of  Hollister;  Saa 
Francisco  county,  John  Stack  and  H.  T.  Payne- 

Governor  Markham  has  appointed  H.  K.  Heffelman  of 
San  Diego  in  place  of  Leonard  Goodman,  who  is  out  of  the 
State. 

Clabrough,  Golcher   &   Co.'s  Tournament.

Entrance  to  include  birds  in  all  events. 


The  $5,000  Match. 

Charles  Macalester,  of  Philadelphia,  and  Geo.  Work,  of 
New  York,  shot  a  200  bird  match  at  Kiverton,  New  Jersey, 
on  the  15th,  for  a  purse  of  $5,000.  Capt.  A.  C.  Money  looked 
after  Work,  and  E.  S.  Handy  performed  similar  service  for 
Macalester.  Oakleigh  Thorne,  of  New  York,  was  the  referee 
The  score  at  the  end  of  the  first  hundred  birds  stood  at  86  to 
8-1  in  favor  of  Work.  The  second  hundred  turned  the  tables, 
however,  Macalester  killing  92  to  Work's  86, Macalester  win- 
by  a  total  score  of  176  to  169.

The  Wholesale  Destruction  of  Antelopes. 

-The  wholesale  killing  of  antelopes  in  the  following  de- 
scribed manner  should  be  stopped  by  the  proper  authorities 
at  once.  Few  readers  of  the  American  Field  have  any  idea 
of  the  unique  manner  in  which  the  Navajo  Indians  have 
from  time  immemorial  caught  antelopes  in  New  Mexico, 
where  thousands  still  exist  on  the  vast  table  lands  of  this 
territory.  In  the  country  south  of  the  Navajo  reservation, 
and  between  it  aud  the  Atlantic  and  Pacific  reservation,  long 
lines  of  trunks  of  trees  and  branches  of  cedar  and  pine, 
stretching  for  miles  across  the  plains,  are  to  be  seen,  although 
in  many  places  they  are  nearly  rotted  away.  These  are  the 
ruins  of  ancient  corrals  and  pens  now  unused,  as  the  ante- 
lopes in  this  section  can  now  only  be  found  in  small  numbers, 
too  small  to  excite  the  interest  of  the  Navajos,  and  they  are 
only  hunted  on  ihe  American  plan.  Directly  south  of 
Winslow,  about  fifty  miles,  large  bands  of  these  graceful 
creatures  still  roam,  and  a  new  corral  has  been  built  for  their 
capture,  where  members  of  the  tribe  who  believe  in  the 
ancient  manner  of  capture  enjoy  their  annual  hunt.  The 
following  from  the  St.  Louis  Globe-Democrat  describes  the 
corral  and  manner  of  capture: 

"This  corral  was  built  in  1S90  by  the  order  of  the  old 
chief,  Gano  Mumcho  and  his  son  Many  Horses.  As  the 
workings  of  the  order  had  nearly  died  out,  it  was  necessary 
to  first  hold  a  season  of  song  to  teach  tbe  lesser  chiefs  their 
several  duties,  for,  like  the  fraternities  of  to-day,  they  require 
their  Grand  Master,  Vine  Grand  Master,  Conductors,  Guards, 
etc.  After  these  have  been  instructed  thoroughly,  a  party  of 
nearly  200  men  and  boys  on  horseback  started  to  locate  this 
spot  for  the  revival  of  their  old  sport. 

"A  place  was  selected  where  a  slight  hill  was  found  upon 
the  border  of  a  wide  prairie.  Not  even  a  sagebush  could  be 
seen,  and  trees  for  the  corral  had  to  be  brought  from  the 
cedar-covered  hills*nearly  ten  miles  away.  These  were  cut 
and  dragged  to  the  place  by  the  men  and  boys  on  horseback. 
A  close  pen,  circular  in  form  and  about  100  feet  across,  was 
first  built  against  the  steep  side  of  the  hill  so  that  the  tops  of 
the  posts  used  could  not  be  seen  from  \he  opposite  side.  Two 
lines  of  trees  were  then  dragged  and  laid  loosely  upon  the 
ground,  but  close  enough  to  appear  like  a  brush  fence.  These 
lines  at  the  pen  are  about  twenty  yards  apart,  and  run  almost 
parallel  for  100  yards  or  so  and  then  spread  apart  at  an  angle 
of  about  thirty  degrees  and  extend  for  four  and  a  half  or 
five  miles. 

"  When  the  party  reached  the  corral  for  the  annual  hunt 
the  chief  first  selects  the  officers,  four  to  watch  each  point  of 
the  compass  around  the  pen.  For  each  a  pit  is  dug  deep 
enough  to  put  him  out  of  sight.  The  less  space  required 
the  more  the  occupant  is  esteemed  and  considered  worthy  of 
promotion  later  on.  The  chief  and  his  assistant  then  take 
their  places  at  the  right  side  of  the  entrance  to  the  pen, 
standing  in  a  hole  dug  for  the  purpose  and  just  deep  enough 
to  hide  all  except  their  heads.  From  five  to  eight  Indians  on 
the  fleetest  horses  are  sent  out'at  daybreak  to  surround  a  band 
of  antelopes  and  head  them  toward  the  corral.  An  antelope, 
when  startled,  keeps  as  far  as  possible  away  from  any  place 
where  any  enemy  might  be  hiding,  hence  they  keep  as  far 
away  from  the  wings  of  the  corral,  which  are  on  either  side 
of  them,  as  they  can.  After  being  closed  in  upon  they  can- 
not turn  back,  as  the  drivers  are  in  hot  pursuit  and  they  make 
a  dash  for  the  top  of  the  hill,  which,  to  them,  appears  to  be 
the  only  opening  between  the  horrid  lines  of  brush  fence. 
But,  alas  for  them,  they  find  themselves  inclosed  in  a  stout 
pen,  around  whicli  thev  run  in  a  circle,  never  trying  to  jump 
over.  The  shouts  and  yells  of  the  Indians  at  length  so  com-* 
pleiely  terrify  the  poor  animals  that  they  stand  trembling 
and  apparently  unconscious  of  the  Indians,  who  now  ap- 
proach and  kill  them  with  clubs,  hatchets,  stones,  or  any- 
thing at  hand.  As  many  as  250  have  been  caught  atone  time 
in  this  manner,  and  for  wholesale  destruction  of  game  it  sur- 
passes any  process  in  vogue." — Mexican  in  American  Field.

Edwin  F.  Smith,  Secretary  of  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture,  has  received  the  follow- 
ing entries  for  the  trotting  and  pacing  colts 
stakes  that  closed  last  week  to  be  trotted  and 
at  the  State  Fair  of  1894. 

The  lists  shows  an  unusual  number  of 
colts  in  training,  and  the  prospects  seems 
bright  for  this  interest.  The  entries  are  more 
general  aod  not  confined,  as  heretofore,  to 
one  or  two  breeding  farms.  These  entries 
embrace  colts  from  the  States  of  Washington, 
[Oregon  and  all  parts  of  California.

Patsy  McDennott's  First  "Winner. 

Half  a  dozen  sporting  men  were  interested 
idditors  ooe  evening  lately,  when  Patsy  Mc- 
Jermot  l  was  relating  how  he  first  came  to  ride 
i  winner,  says  the  Philadelphia  PresB,  which 
i  ittribute3  the  story  to  Joseph  Burke.  He  has 
!  >een  a  stable  bov  in  the  employ  of  a  trainer 
or  nearly  three  years.  One  day  his  work  was 
lot  satisfactory  and  he  was  told  to  send  in  his 
nil  and  consider  himself  discharged.  Three 
rears'  pay  was  $325.  That  day  when  the  lad 
went  to  get  his  dinner  he  was  told  by  the  cook 
hat  he  bad  orders  not  to  give  him  anything 
o  tim,  as  hfc  was  n'd  fotrgtor  tn  tfc*  BtaWs'  en* 


ploy.  An  old  trainer  named  Johnson  had  in 
training  the  chestnut  gelding  Treasurer,  an 
outcast  from  George  Lorillard's  stable.  Mc- 
Dermott  was  put  on  this  horse  and  lold  to 
gallop  him  a  mile  and  a  quarter.  As  remun- 
eration he  got  a  bit  of  bacon  and  some  fried 
eggs,  both  cooked  on  an  oil  stove,  The  next 
day  he  again  worked  Treasurer  and  again  he 
got  something  to  eat.  Getting  on  the  fence 
that  afternoot,  along  came  the  owner  of  Hot 
Scotch,  a  filly  sold  by  Wyndham  Walden  to 
one  Brady.  The  owner  said  to  McDermott: 
*  Patsy,  do  you  want  a  mount  ?" 

:t  Oh,  go  on,"  said  the  fledgling,  "  you  know 
I  never  rode  a  race  yet." 

"  That  makes  no  difference,"  was  the  reply  ; 
"go  make  your  weight." 

"  I  went  down  to  the  secretary's  office,"  con- 
tinued McDermott,  "  and  made  my  weight  at 
three  pounds  over.  Meantime  my  old  em- 
ployer, who  owed  me  the  $325,  came  along 
and  said  he  would  give  me  $50  not  to  run 
better  than  second.  I  declined  the  offer,  but 
he  came  back  in  a  few  minutes  and  said  that 
he  would  give  me  $200  not  to  beat  the  horse 
that  he  was  playing.  '  Give  me  the  money,' 
said  I.  I  took  the  moDev,  sent  it  into  the  bet- 
ting ring,  got  10  to  1  against  my  mount,  went 
on  and  won  the  race,  and  ever  since  then  I've 
always  had  money." 


Good  Sport  Assured. 


Hand  in  Hand. 


Last  week  we  published  that  the  Portland 
Speed  and  Driving  Association  would  hang 
up  between  $12,000  and  $15,000  in  premiums 
for  their  spring  meeting.  By  referring  to 
their  programme,  published  elsewhere,  it  will 
be  seen  that  the  latter  amount  is  nearly 
reached.  This  speaks  volumes  for  the  new 
board  of  directors,  whose  actions  are  fully 
backed  up  by  the  public  generally,  and  that 
they  will  be  rewarded  goes  without  sayiug,  for 
the  people  of  Portland  are  once  more  assured 
of  good  clean  sport,  which  they  have  been  so 
long  expecting.  Portland  is  one  of  the  best 
racing  cities  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  now 
that  the  fetters  are  cut  loose  and  the  manage- 
ment placed  in  the  hands  of  progressive  men, 
whose  whole  aim  is  to  purify  the  racing  turf 
and  foster  the  intertsts  of  the  outdoor  sport 
that  has  so  long  stood  at  the  head  of  all  sports, 
we  expect  to  see  one  of  the  grandest  meeting 
ever  held  in  Oregon.  People  coming  here 
from  a  distance  will  have  their  interests  pro- 
tected and  that  our  home  people  will  receive 
fair  treatment  they  are  well  assured.  The  pre- 
miums offered  are  a  mark  of  progress  of  the 
light  harness  horse  in  Oregon,  and  places  a 
value  on  every  horse  capable  of  beingtermed  a 
trotter  or  pacer.  We  fully  believe  the  breeder, 
trainer  and  the  lover  of  the  sport  will  appre- 
ciate the  efforts  of  the  Portland  Speed  and 
Driving  Association  and  put  their  shoulders 
to  the  wheel  and  help  make  this  one  of  the 
grandest  meetings  ever  held  on  the  coast. — 
Rural  Spirit. 


Two  "War  Stories. 


Gen.  Gordon,  the  Confederate  Cavalry 
leader,  in  a  recent  lecture,  told  the  following 
stories,  the  second  of  which  probably  furnishes 
the  high  water  mark  on  the  wages  of  the 
"swipe,"  the  incidents  of  course  occurring 
during  the  late  war  : 

Another  time  he  wasreconnoiteringin  front 
of  our  Hoes,  when  the  Federals  gave  chase. 
As  pursued  and  pursuers  neared  oar  lines,  we 
opened  fire  on  them.  Gen.  Ewell  was  mad 
when  he  got  in.  "  Haven't  you  got  any  more 
sense  than  to  shoot  at  me?"  thundered  he. 
"We  weren't  expecting  any  of  our  men  on  that 
side,"  pleaded  the  men.  "  Oh,  well,"  said 
Gen.  Ewell,  "  I'll  accept  that  excuse  this  time, 
but  don't  you  ever  be  guilty  of  such  a  thing 
again.  You  might  have  killed  the  best  man 
in  tue  army." 

One  day  a  cavalryman  rode  into  camp  on  a 
reasonably  good  horse.  "  Hello,  Cavalary- 
man,"  said  some  foot  soldier,  "I'll  give  you 
$3,000  for  your  horse."  "  You  go  to  — (the 
bad  place),"  was  the  horseman's  reply,  "I  iust 
paid  $1,000  to  have  curried." 

It  is  a  very  bad  practice  to  trot  colts  in  a 
small  yard.  The  sharp  turns  are  pretty  sure 
to  injure  their  trotting  gait.  Better  send  them 
down  the  road  a  quarter  or  half  mile,  then 
turn  them  loose,  and  let  them  take  their  exer- 
cise straightaway.  Where  this  is  not  practi- 
cable break  a  road  in  the  form  of  an  ellipse  or 
kite  track  in  a  large,  smooth,  level  field,  and 
exercise  them  there  either  loose  or  to  harness 
when  the  weather  will  admit.  They  must 
have  plenty  of  exercise  in  order  to  develop 
their  limbs  when  their  bodies  are  growing 
rapidly. — Exchange.

New  Yokk,  March  16. — The  long  and 
numerous  meetings  between  committees  from 
the  Jockey  Club  and  the  Coney  Island  Club 
have  at  last  resulted  in  a  complete  union  of 
the  two  clubs.  These  turf  organizations  have 
been  negotiating  for  the  past  month. 
The  members,  however,  have  clothed  them- 
elves  in  mystery  as  in  a  garment,  and 
have  darted  Jin  and  out  of  the  Cumber- 
land like  so  many  Italian  couspirators,  with 
the  result  that  turfmen  of  all  classes  had  be- 
gun to  be  extremely  impatient.  At  to-day's 
conference  the  following  were  present :  J.  O. 
Donner,  Colonel  W.  P.  Thompson,  J.  R. 
Keene.  John  Hunter,  Dr.  G.  L.  Knapp,  P.  J. 
Dwyer,  J.  G.  K.  Lawrence,  John  G.  Heck- 
secher,  F.  G.  Griswold,  and  F.  K.  Sturgis. 
After  it  adjourned  the  following  official  state- 
ment was  issued: 

The  support  and  adherence  of  the  four  Metropoli- 
tan racing  associations,  namely,  the  Coney  Inland 
Jockey  Club,  Brooklyn  Jockey  Club,  New  York 
Jockey  Club,  and  the  Monmouth  Park  Association, 
are  now  secured  to  the  Jockey  Club,  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  scope  of  its  powers  will  soon  com- 
prehend all  the  recognized  associations  of  the  East, 
and  that  reciprocal  relations  will  be  established 
with  those  of  the  West.  The  introductory  sections  of 
the  rules  of  racing  have  been  carefully  gone  over, 
amended,  and  approved,  and  will  shortly  be  pub- 
lished in  an  addition  of  the  rules  of  racing  to  be 
issued  by  the  Jockey  Club. 

F.  K.  Sturgis,  Secretary. 

This  news,  although  delayed,  will  be  re- 
ceived with  great  pleasure  by  horsemen.  It 
practically  assures  the  supremacy  of  the 
Jockey  Club,  and  a  new  lease  of  life  for  racing 
in  the  East.  In  discussing  the  terms  of  the 
treaty  between  the  Jockey  Club  and  the  Coney 
Island  Club,  a  member  of  the  committee 
said  : 

"The  Coney  Island  Club  has  conceded  to 
the  Jockey  Club  the  right  to  appoint  the 
judges,  starters,  handicappers,  clerk  of  the 
scales  and  patrol  judges,  but  in  case  of  a  clash 
of  dates  the  Jockey  Club  must  appoint  a  dupli- 
cate set  of  officials,  in  order  that  both  meet- 
ings may  be  carried  on.  The  Coney  Island 
Club  reserves  the  right  to  name  the  dates  of 
its  meeting.  The  Coney  Island  Club  has  been 
fair  in  its  dealings  with  the  Jockey  Club,  and 
it  now  remains  to  be  seen  what  the  combine 
will  amount  to." 

In  regard  to  associations  in  the  East  other 
than  Coney  Island,  Brooklyn,  Monmouth  and 
Morris  Park  joining  the  club  the  same  man 
said : 

"The  Eastern  associations  will  all  be  in- 
vited to  join  the  Jockey  Club,  providing  they 
are  willing  to  accept  the  rulings  of  that 
body." 

It  is  known  that  the  Saratoga  and  Brighton 
Beach  associations  are  willing  to  accept  the 
rules  of  the  Jockey  Club,  so  that  it  now  looks 
as  though  the  whole  turf  family  in  the  East 
might  be  a  very  happy  family,  indeed. 

As  the  representatives  of  the  Western  Clubs 
left  here  last  week  with  a  treaty  of  offense  and 
defense  under  their  arms  the  new  Jockey 
Club  looks  now  to  be  the  strongest  tnrf  body 
ever  organized  in  this  country.  The  Coney 
Island  people  announce  that  the  suburban 
and  other  stakes  of  the  club  will  be  issued  in  a 
few  days.

J.    M.    Forbes    Will   Try    Running 
Blood. 


Foala  of  1894. 


Daily  America  has  the  following  gossip 
from  Boston,  tha  closing  paragraph  of  which^ 
at  least,  will  be  interesting : 

Two  miles  from  Mr.  W.  H.  Forbes'  estate  is 
that  of  his  brother,  Malcolm  Forbes,  the 
owner  of  Xancy  Hanks.  The  great  little  mare, 
a  plain,  unpretentious  looker,  is  running  out 
in  the  snow  and  is  wintering  splendidly.  Budd 
Doble  visited  the  farm  last  week  and  was  very 
well  pleased  at  the  way  the  mare  looks.  Mr. 
Forbes  thought  at  one  time  of  breeding  her  to 
Arion  this  spring,  but  will  probably  have  her 
trained,  instead. 

Doble  thinks  he  will  have  a  very  great 
horse  in  Arion  this  year,  and  believes  that  he 
holds  Directum  and  <*11  the  others  safe.  Arion 
has  not  grown  a  great  deal,  though  he  stands 
15. 2A  hands,  but  he  has  developed  and  fur- 
nished immensely.  A  yearling  by  him  called 
Navahoe,  is  a  perfect  beauty,  of  great  size  and 
quality,  and  very  high  expectations  are  formed 
of  him. 

Mr.  W.  H.  Forbes  has  been  experimenting 
to  some  extent  in  the  lines  of  the  late  Senator 
Leland  Stanford,  trying  to  find  another  Dame 
Winnie  to  produce  a  Palo  Alto.  With  this 
idea  in  view  he  bred  three  of  his  best  thor- 
oughbred mares  to  Arion.  He  has  great  hopes 
of  what  Blue  Lodge,  by  Fellowcraft,  dam 
Bonnie  May,  will  do.  She  will  be  recalled  as 
a  smashing  good  race  mare  in  the  colors  of 
Mr.  Leonard  Jerome.  The  other  matrons 
that  were  mated  with  Arion  were  Zarifa,  by 
Duke  of  Magenta,  dam  Zita,  and  Shausheen, 
by  Pardee,  dam  Lady  Lumley.  All  of  them 
are  heavy  in  foal  to  the  great  trotter. 

W.  R.  Janvier,  of  New  York  City,  has 
great  faith  in  his  young  stallion  Potential, 
out  of  Eliza  T.,  sister  to  Arion,  2:07$.

Waiiapu  Maui,  H.  L,  March  1, 1894. 


The  Charter  Oak  Driving  Association  has 
decided  to  hold  its  races  at  Hartford  this 
season  notwithstanding  the  law  forbidding 
pool-selling.  It  is  believed  the  meeting  can 
be  made  to  pay.  Secretary  Loomis  announces 
that  Charter  Oak  will  give  a  meeting  without 
betting,  as  the  association's  $15,000  Nutmeg 
purse  for  three-year-olds,  and  its  Connecticut 
purse  of  $20,000  for  four -year -olds,  are  due  for 
decision  this  year  and  the  society  thinks  it  is 
worth  trying.  It  is  proposed  to  open  other 
races  and  test  conclusively  whether  trotting 
meetings  can  be  made  to  pay  without  betting. 
If  horsemen  respond  liberally  with  entries,it 
is  believed  the  meeting  will  be  successful. 


Mr.  C.  H.  Morgan,  of  Bozrahville,  writes 
that  Valensin  (3)  (2:23),  which  he  bought  a 
short  time  since,  stands  16.2,  and  weighs  up- 
wards of  1,300  pounds.  He  is  the  sire  of 
Hibibi  (2:15>).

FIFTY-SIXTH   DAY 


-FRIDAY,  MARCH  23. 


OT  a  single  favorite  fijot  home  in 
front  this  magnificent  day.  The 
agony  was  intense  yesterday ;  it 
was  terrible  to  behold  to*day.  The 
first  race  went  to  a  4  to  1  shot,  the 
second  to  an  S  to  1,  third  to  a  4J  to 
1  chance,  fourth  to  a  10  to  1  and 
the  last  to  a  horse  that  at  one  time 
vj  was  as  good  as  12  to  1  in  the  betting. 
Great,  therefore,  must  have  been 
joy  of  the  bookies,  fearful  the  suffering  of  the  form-players 
Lark  has  been  beaten  by  the  sorriest  dogs  at  the  track  re- 
sly,  while  of  Seville  the  about  same  can  be  said.  To-day 
r  beat  fair  fields  in  fast  time.  The  track  was  in  excellent 
)e,  and  while  the  fiuishes  were  not  as  close  as  those  of  yes- 
ay,  the  racing  was  nevertheless  very  exciting. 
ttm  rode  three  winners  (The  Lark,  Prince  Henry  and 
He),  all  at  long  odds,  while  W.  Clancy  and  McAuliffe 
ted  the  remaining  victors. 

laudie  won  the  first  race  in  the  fastest  time  of  the  season — 
K  aod  did  it  quite  handily.  She  waited  on  Gasseruutil 
in  the  homestretch,  and  then  came  away  and  won  by 
ft  length  from  Mollie  R  ,  who  beat  the  favorite,  Gasser, 
lengths.  Mollie  R.  and  Gas3er  were  plunged  on,  while 
dinners  closing  price  was  4  to  1.  She  was  for  some 
to  not  fancied  as  much  as  the  other  two  named. 
ie  Lark,  who  has  been  rnnning  very  poorly,  won  the 
nd  |event  with  odds  of  S  to  1  against  him.  Old  Regal 
ed  up  a  tremendous  gap  on  his  field,  Crawford  running 
id  to  him  to  the  homestretch.  There  The  Lark  came 
igh  and  won  handily  by  a  length  from  the  fast-comiug 
•ite,  King  Mac,  whose  run  was  made  too  late.  Crawford 
a  good  third. 

ioce  Henry  captured  the  mile  race  quite  easily,  though 
Rube  Burrows  not  been  made  loo  much  use  of  in  the 
part  of  it  the  result  might  have  been  different.  Getting 
nearly  last,  Tuberville  sent  the  colt  along  so  fast  that 
as  two  lengths  in  front  of  the  field  ere  the  quarter-pole 
'eached.  He  held  his  lead  to  the  homestretch,  but  the 
there  told  on  him,  and  Prince  Henry, who  had  gradually 
oved  his  position,  came  on  and  won  with  ease  by  two 
ba.  Hy  Dy,  too,  had  gradually  got  up  nearly  to  the 
and  beat  Rube  Burrows  half  a  length  for  place, 
'ille  ran  close  up  to  Thelmi  to  the  homestretch,  then 
lined  the  John  Happy  filly  and  won  rather  easilv  by 
-ngths,  making  Isom's  third  win  in  succeS3ion  and  the 
d  victory  for  the  Kentucky  Stable,  which,  by  ^the  way, 
ine  form  just  now,  as  is  the  Lone  Stable,  which  captured 
races  to-day.  Trix  and  Gilead  came  with  a  rush 
a  end,   and   both  beat  Thelma  out  by  a   very  small 


The  concluding  race  of  the  day  went  to  Duke  Stevens  by  a 
short  neck,  with  Annie  Buckingham,  the  favorite,  coming 
like  a  minnie-ball  at  the  close.  The  move  with  the  filly  was 
made  just  a  trifle  too  late,  or  victory  would  surely  have 
perched  on  the  Hankins  &  Johnson  banner.

Eube  Burrows,  who  was  one  of  the  last  to  get  away,  rushed

who,  with  Trix,  was  coming  up  fast.  A  little  less  than  a  six- 
teenth from  home  Thelma  was  beaten  and  Seville  proved  a 
handy  winder  by  two  lengths.  Forty  yards  from  the  finish 
Trix  and  Gilead  got  up  to  Thelma,  and  in  a  fighting  finish

by  a  length,  Zaragoza  second,  as  far  from  Nutwood,  who  was 
over  a  length  in  front  of  the  favorite.  The  latter  ran  op 
rapidly  in  the  straight,  and  half-way  down  shouts  went  up 
that  she  would  win.  McAuliffe  kept  the  Duke  going,  how- 
ever, though  he  sulked  considerably  near  the  end,  and  he 
lasted  long  enough  to  stall  oil' Annie  Buckingham's  great  rush

FIFTY-SEVEHTH   DAT— SATURDAY,   MARCH   24. 

Five  favorites  felt  the  pangs  of  defeat  this  perfectly  grand 
afternoon.  The  lone  favorite  that  was  nearly  successful 
was  Centella,  but  a  nose  is  as  good  as  a  mile  these  days- 
Eichard  Croker,  chief  of  the  Tammany  tribe  of  New  York 
City  and  incident  ally  a  millionaire  lover  of  racing 
and  blooded  horses,  occupied  a  seat  in  the  judges'  stand  most 
of  the  afternoon,  the  guest  of  President  Williams,  and  he 
must  have  been  much  impressed  with  our  climate  and  the 
quality  of  California's  race  horses,  for  the  raciog  throughout 
was  of  a  high  order  of  excellence.  The  first  event  was  won 
by  a  nose,  second  by  half  a  length  in  a  drive,  third  by  about 
the  same  distance,  fourth  by  a  nose,  while  the  last  was  a 
magnificent  race  up  to  the  last  100  yards,  Templemore  event- 
ually proving  an  easy  winner.  Several  loads  of  fresh  earth 
had  been  placed  on  the  homestretch,  and  in  consequence  the 
track  was  even  a  little  slower  than  it  was  on  the  previous  day". 
The  good  time  made  throughout,  then,  shows  that  the  win- 
ners were  of  pretty  high  class. 

Sea  Spray  was  the  talent's  choice  in  the  first  race,  though 
Rey  Alfonso  nearly  ranked  him.  Model  led  to  the  final  turn, 
when  Rey  Alfonso  came  up  with  a  wet  sail  and  soon  opened 
up  a  daylight  space  of  three  lengths.  Clancy  eased  up  on 
the  brother  to  Huntsman,  and  nearly  lost  the  race  by  so  do- 
ing, Sea  Spray  running  very  fast  and  coming  within  two 
inches  of  winning  the  race.  Gallant  was  third,  three  lengths 
ofl.  George  Miller,  the  popular  jockey,  rode  the  latter,  it 
being  his  first  mount  for  about  three  months.  His  reappear- 
ance in  the  saddle  was  the  signal  for  considerable  enthu- 
Bism.

her  head  in  front,  and  to  the  unpracticed  eye  Motto  was 
beaten.     Charley   Weber,   however,   was   merely  "joshing  " 

Bozeman,  Midget's  rider,  for  when  he  gave  .Motto  her  head  I 
she  easily  shot  by  Midget  and  won  by  half  a  length.  Promise, 

four  lengths  back,  was  awarded  third  place. 
Catch  'Em  got  away  in  front  to  a  straggling  start,  and  was 

never  headed,  winning  by  three  parts  of  a  length.  Ragner, 
the  favorite,  eighth  and  perhaps  half  a  dozen  lengths  hack  at 

the  flag-fall,  ran  around  her  field  and   finished  third,  a  neck  i 

behind  De  Bracey.  The  last-named  was  at  S  to  1  for  place. 
Hippy  Day  was  all  but  thrown  over  the  fence  by  De  Bracey 
iu  the  homestretch. 

Hotspur  won  the  mile  and  a  quarter  handicap  by  a  nose 
because  Shaw,  ou  Ceutella,  forgot  how  to  finish.  Carmel 
cut  out  the  running  to  the  homestretch,  where  Hotspur  took 
command.  Shaw  called  on  Centella  at  the  final  turn,  and 
she  ran  Dp  to  withiua  length  of  Hotspur.  Then  the  boy  got 
overconfident.  One  cut  of  the  whip  near  the  finish  would 
have  won  the  race  for  Ceutella,  but  he  made  a  lamentably 
poor  showing  at  a  critical  stage  and  lost  by  about  two  inches, 
though  the  game  mare  was  gaining  fast.  Oakland  came  up 
under  Charley  Weber's  vigorous  riding  and  nearly  beat  the 
pair,  finishing  but  a  neck  behind  Centella. 

Templemore  and  Red  Cloud  ran  head-and-head  in  the 
steeplechase  to  the  homestretch,  Bishop  riding  the  latter 
bard.  Templemore  drew  away  in  the  last  100  yards  and  won 
easily  by  three  lengths  from  the  false  favorite,  Longwell 
third,  fully  twenty-live  lengths  back.

Midget,  at  9  to  -">,  closed  a  hot  favorite  for  the  five-furlong

Van,  Londonville  was  the  order  at  the  start.  Motto  and  Nel- 
lie Van  at  once  drew  away  from  the  others,  but  Midget  ran 
up  at  the  half-pole  into  third  place.  There  was  no  change 
worth  mentioning  in  the  next  "furlong.  Nellie  Van  then  be- 
gan losing  ground,  and  Midget  got  up  to  within  a  length  of 
Motto,  as  they  turned  for  home.  .Nellie  Van  came  again, 
looking  dangerous  half  way  down,  but  died  away.  A  six- 
teenth from  home  Midget  passed  Motto,  leading  her  a  neck 
for  perhaps  thirty  yards.  Charley  Weber  then  let  go  his 
wrap  on  Motto,  and  she  shot  by  Midget  and  won  by  about 
half  a  length.  Midget,  second,  was  four  lengths  from  Prom- 
ise, who  beat  Joe  Cotton  (on  the  extreme  outside  and  coming

The  handicap  was  a  great  betting  race.  Hotspur  was  a 
slight  favorite  till  toward  the  close,  when,  by  lorce  of  coin, 
Centella  was  made  first  choice  at  2  to  1  against  2'.  to  1  Hot- 
spur. Oakland  was  at  3  to  1,  Royal  Flush  4!,  Carmel  and 
Otacqaer  15  each,  Happy  Band  20  to  1.  They  were  sent  away 
to  a  good  start.  Carmel  set  the  pace  to  the  stand,  closely  at- 
tended by  Royal  Flush  and  Clacquer,  Hotspur  fourth,  with 
Centella  over  a  length  behind  him  under  a  steady  pull. 
Royal  Flush,  Clacquer  and  Carmel  were  headsapart  as  named  i 
at  the  quarter  pole,  Hotspur  fourth,  two  lengths  back  and 
over  a  length  from  Centella,  who  ^as  still  being  restrained. 
Carmel  led  at  the  half-pole  by  a  length,  and  Hotspur  had 
been  sent  up  second,  though  closely  attended  by  Royal  Flush 
and  Clacquer.  There  was  little  change  worth  noting  until 
the  horses  neared  the  linal  turn.  Here  Shaw  cut  Centella 
loose,  and  the  way  she  gained  on  Carmel,  Hotspur  et  al,  was 
a  caution.  Carmel  and  Clacquer  fell  back  almost  as  soon  as 
they  were  straightened  out  for  home,  and  Centella  got  within 
a  length  of  Hotspur  a  sixteenth  from  the  finish.  Lloyd 
went  at  the  old  horse,  however,  and  under  vigorous  riding  he 
gained  slightly  on  Centilla,  on  whom  Sbaw  was  sitting  all 
but  still,  perfectly  confident.  About  fifty  yards  of  the  wire 
lie  did  ride  Centella  some,  but  forgot  he  had  a  whip,  and  the 
best  he  did  was  get  within  a  nose  of  Hotspur  as  they  passed 
the  finish,  amid  the  groans  of  Centella's  admirers.  Oaklind, 
meanwhile,  had  been  cut  loose  by  little  Weber,  and  was  but 
a  neck  behind  Centella  at  the  end.  The  time  was  2:09J. 
That  Centella  would  have  won  with  just  a  little  urging  in 
the  final  sixteenth  was  the  unanimous  verdict  of  every  good 
judge  of  racing  on  the  grounds.

Bishop,  however,  began  riding  Red  Cloud  hard  at  the  half- 
pole.  Longwell  was  third,  a  block  behind.  The  pair  went 
over  the  last  hurdle  half  a  length  apart,  Templemore  jump- 
ing far  cleaner  than  his  rival.  Red  Cloud  gamely  came  at 
him  again,  but  Templemore  who  had  been  running  easily, 
now  came  away  and  won  cleverly  bv  three  lengths  from  Red

The  Terre  Haute  Fair. 


The  Terre  Haute  Fair  Association  will  undoubtedly  have 
not  only  the  greatest  programme  of  the  year  but  will  also  dis- 
tribute more  money  in  stakes  and  purses  than  any  other  as- 
sociation in  the  same  length  of  time.  Their  three  grand  star 
attractions,  the  two,  three  and  four-year-old  futuries  of  $11,000- 
$11,500  and  $10,000,  respectively,  will  be  worth  by  the  time 
the  starting  fees  are  paid  about  $50,000.  We  recently  pointed 
out  in  these  columns  that  the  perfect  security  for  these  large 
stakes  offered  by  the  society  in  the  shape  of  a  bond  signed  by 
thirty  of  the  leading  merchants  and  bankers  of  that  city  was 
the  principal  cause  for  their  wonderful  success.  Nominations 
poured  in  from  all  sections  of  the  continent  and  thus  guaran- 
teed the  association.  The  association  which  before  enjoyed 
only  a  local  reputation,  sprang  at  once  into  national  impor- 
tance. Had  thiswise  example  been  followed,  many  disasters 
of  the  past  two  years  might  have  been  avoided.  In  arrang, 
ing  the  list  of  stakes  and  purses,  which  will  be  decided  at  the 
same  meeting  as  the  three  futurity  stakes,  the  same  wise 
policy  has  been  adopted,  and  the  citizens  of  Terre  Haute  have 
again  expressed  their  financial  confidence  in  the  most  prac- 
tical and  effective  manner.  Four  purses  of  $5,000  each  are 
open  for  trotters  eligible  to  the  2:10,  2:15  and  2:20  classes, 
and  for  pacers  eligible  to  the  2:20  class.  The  first  three  have 
behind  them  $5,000  guaranteed  by  fifty  citizens  at  $100  each 
if  needed,  while  the  pacing  stake  is  guaranteed  by  the  Terre 
Haute  Brewing  Company.  This  absolute  security,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  well-known  solidity  of  the  association,  will  insure 
such  an  entry  list,  and  is  entitled  to  insure  such  a  list,  that 
it  is  morally  certain  that,  with  the  large  attendance,  not  one 
cent  of  the  guarantee  fund  will  ever  be  required  ;  but  the 
principle  is  none  the  less  commendable,  and  reflects  the  high- 
est credit  upon  all  the  persons  concerned.  The  entrance  fee 
is  five  per  cent.,  payable  $50  April  1G,  when  the  list  closes; 
$50  May  15  and  June  15,  and  $100  July  lfi,  when  horses  must 
be  named  ;  with  five  per  cent,  additional  from  the  winners. 
The  purses  are  so  divided  that  horses,  even  to  the  eighth  po- 
sition in  the  race,  will  receive  a  portion  of  the  purse.  There 
are  three  purses  of  $1,5(10  each  for  two-year-old  trotters  eli- 
gible to  the  2:50  class;  three-year-olds  and  under,  eligible  to 
did  2:40  class,  and  four-year-olds  and  under  eligible  to  the 
2:28  class,  with  entrance  payable  $15  April  1G.  May  15,  June 
15  and  $30  July  10,  with  five  per  cent,  additional  from 
the  winners.  There  are  four  purses  of  $2,000  each,  for  trot- 
ters eligible  to  the  2&3,  2:26,  2:30  :iud  2:35  classes  and  pacers 
eligible  to  the  2:10  and  2:15  classes,  with  five  per  cent,  en- 
trance, payable  on  the  same  dates,  and  five  per  cent,  from 
winners.  We  need  not  commend  this  great  bill  of  fare.  It 
speaks  for  itself.  Large  purses,  a  low  entrance  fee,  divided 
payments  perfect  security  and  one  of  the  finest  and  fastest 
tucks  in  the  country.  With  such  conditions  and  surround* 
ings  these  purses  cannot  fail  to  fill. — Spirit  of  the  Times

"Wind  G-all  on  the  Horse. 


We  are  asked  many  times  in  tbe  course  of  the  year,  "What 
can  you  do  for  wind  galls ;  can  they  be  cured  ?  "  Generally 
speaking,  we  should  say,  "  Rather  doubtful." 

Wiodgall,  as  is  commonly  known  and  termed,  is  a  sac  or 
bag  containing  a  fluid  similar  in  its  aspect  and  properties  to 
synovis  or  joint  oil,  and  that  the  sheaths  of  tendons,  "the 
synovial  sheaths,''  as  they  are  usually  called,  are  kindred 
structures  to  them.  The  bursa  mucosa  consists  simply  of  a 
membrane  of  the  same  texture  as  synovial  membrane,  thrown 
into  the  form  of  a  sac  or  bag.  The  synovial  sheath  nothing 
differs  from  it  save  that  the  membranous  sac  is  commonly  pro- 
longed and  enlarged,  and  is  apt  to  run  into  divers  complex 
and  irregular  shapes.  Both  bursa  End  sheath  form  circum- 
scribed inclosures,  and  in  this  respect  both  bear  considerable 
analogy,  as  well  as  in  the  texture  of  their  membranous  walls 
to  the  shut  cavities  of  the  joints. 

The  origin  of  wind  gall  will  be  more  likely  to  be  satisfac- 
torily elicited  through  an  inquiry  into  the  functions  the  buna 
in  a  state  of  health  are  intended  to  answer  in  the  animal 
economy,  and  the  mode  in  which  these  functions  are  carried 
out  in  the  economy  of  the  horse  in  particular,  than  by  any 
other  course  we  can  pursue.  The  bursa  are  contrivances  of 
nature  to  facilitate  the  sliding  of  tendons  and  muscles,  and 
even  of  the  skin,  over  bones  or  other  tendons,  ligaments  or 
cartilages,  or  any  projecting  parts. 

By  presenting  too  close  approximation  and  consequent 
friction,  they  not  only  protect  the  parts  between  which  they 
are  interposed  against  any  irritation  that  friction  might  cre- 
ate, but  by  removing  the  slightest  impediment  to  it  they  fa- 
cilitate movement,  and  thus  become  aids  to  locomotion  ;  and 
although  but  passive  aids,  still  may  the  bursas  be  regarded  as 
parts  suffering  abuse  from  any  excess  of  action,  whether  such 
excess  consists  in  intensity  of  force  or  of  frequency.  Such 
excess  of  locomotion  as  goes  by  tbe  name  of  "work"  or 
"sprain"  we  find  to  be  very  commonly  succeeded  by  the  ap- 
pearance of  wind  gall,  either  in  the  form  of  what  is  usually 
so  called,  or  in  that  of  bog  spavin,  thoronghpin,  etc. 

So  connected  are  the  two,  as  cause  and  effect,  that  when- 
ever a  horse  presents  himself  exhibiting  wind  galls  we  at 
once  pronounce  him  to  have  done  "  work,"  or  to  have  been 
"sprained,"  and  yet,  by  no  means  infrequently,  are  brought 
before  us  young  horses — horses  that  have  never  been  broken 
or  backed,  even — having  bursal  swellings,  not  so  much  in 
their  fetlocks  as  in  their  hocks,  bog  spavins  being  anything 
but  rare  occurrences  among  them,  and  these  have  manifestly 
arisen  in  the  absence  either  of  work  or  sprain. 

In  the  young  horse  bursal  swellings  frequently  arise  from 
"weakness,"  the  interpretation  of  which  appears  to  be  that 
the  joints  with  which  the  bursas  are  so  generally  connected, 
and  with  which  in  some  parts  they  make  common  cavities, 
are  in  many  a  growing  animal  really  physically  too  "  weak  " 
even  to  support  the  weight  of  its  body,  and  the  consequence 
is  they  bulge,  i.  e.,  the  capsula  ligament  becomes  distended 
and  stretched,  and  ultimately  has  its  cavity  considerably  en- 
larged iD  consequence  of  such  punching,  or,  as  happens  in 
some  cases,  in  consequence  of  communication  with  the  bursas 
in  its  immediate  vicinity. 

This  is  the  case  in  bog  spavin,  the  form  of  wind  gall  to 
which  young  horses  are  especially  subject.  To  this  may  be 
added,  as  another  link  in  the  causation,  the  manifest  disposi- 
tion existing  in  the  constitution  of  the  young  subject  to  aug- 
mentation of  secretion  as  well  as  to  effusion.  His  capillary 
system  seems  ever  exuberant,  ever  ready  on  the  slightest  pro- 
vocation to  relieve  itself  of  the  plethora  natural  to  it  at  this 
season  of  life  in  the  emission  of  either  serous  fluid  or  synovial 
secretion  or  coaguable  lymph,  dependent  on  the  nature  of  the 
exciting  cause  and  the  part  on  which  it  is  operating. 

For  instance,  if  there  exists  a  general  plethora  of  the 
system,  or  a  disposition,  from  laxness  or  "  weakness  "  of  the 
capillaries  generally,  to  effusion  or  secretion,  the  legs  and 
sheath,  being  the  lowest  or  most  dependent  parts,  will  tume- 
fy and  become  enlarged.  On  the  other  hand,  if  the  points  of 
bursal  or  motion  are  exercised  beyond  their  powers  to  with- 
stand, or  which  become  the  source  of  an  increased  arterial  or 
hypertrophic  actian  in  them,  then  will  the  synovial  secretion 
become  augmented,  and  bog  spavin  or  some  other  form  of 
wind  gall  be  the  result. 

If  weakness  of  fibre  in  the  young  animal  be  a  local  cause  of 
wind  gall,  overstretch  or  strain,  from  intensity  of  form  or 
repetition  of  motion  beyond  the  powers  of  the  parts,  it  may 
occasion  the  same  thing  in  the  adult  or  perfectly -formed  ani- 
mal. Work  tells  upon  no  parts  more  than  it  does  upon  the 
joints.  We  witness  this  in  the  trembling  knees  and  knuck- 
ling-over  hind  fetlocks  of  aged  horses  and  horses  that  have 
performed  a  good  deal  of  hard  work,  as  well  as  in  the  shamb- 
ling, Bhufliing,  bone-setting  gait  they  in  consequence  get  into. 
We  also  see  what  are  generally  received  as  unerring  signs  of 
it  in  the  wind  galls  upon  their  fetlock  joints,  upon  the  fore 
less  often  than  upon  the  hind  legs,  in  consequence  of  the  na- 
ture of  the  work  they  have  been  doing  being  more  likely  to 
have  called  the  fore  rather  than  the  other  ;*uo  excessive 
action. 

If  with  the  predisposition  of  the  young  are  combined  the 
causes  which  produce  wind  gall  in  the  old  or  worked  horse 
the  joints  and  bursas  may  naturally  be  expected  to  give  way. 
Parts  incompletely  formed,  but  growing  into  tbe  strength  and 
stamina  they  are  intended  one  day  to   possess,  cannot  bear 
even  the  usage  which  to  adult  limbs  is  but  healthful  exer- 
cise ;  and,  therefore,  it  happens  that  four  or   five-year-old 
horses,  prematurely  taken  to  be  ridden  ordriven  hard,  exhib- 
it bog  spavin  .'ind  thoroughpins  so  frequently  and  now  and 
then  wind  galls  as  well.  In  fact,  the  young  horse,  and,  in  par- 
ticular, such  a  oue  as  is  coarse  and  long  'imbed  and  large 
jointed,  whan  taken  into  work  may  be  said  to  be  the  especial 
Bubject  of  bursal  or  articular  swelling,  and  it  is  rara  when 
.   such  swellings  have  once  become  developed,  particularly  bog 
1  spavin,  for  him  to  get  rid  of  them.  They  remain  as  evidence 
I   of  his  having  been  "  put  to  work  too  early,"  and  are   apt  to 
1   operate  on  the  public  mind  to   the  depreciation  of  his  value. 
With  wind  gall  or  bog  spavin,  when  once  filled  to  dislen- 
I  sion,  there  is  not  much  likelihood  of  absorption  of  the  effused 
fluid  taking  place,  though  in  young  and  unworked  horses 
bursal  swellings  do,  now  and  then,  in  the  course  of  growth, 
1   with  repose  disappear.  In  adult  and  worked  horses,  however, 
windgalls,  although  they  may  diminish,  rarely  completely 
vanish ;  and  once  formed  they  generally,  uoder  continued 
■  work,  become  chronic  for  months,  years,  perhaps,  remain  in 
I  statu  quo. 


Wind  gall  is  rarely  productive  of  lameness,  so  rarely, 
indeed,  that  horse  men  in  general  look  upon  such  swell- 
ings, frequent  as  they  3re  in  horses  of  all  ages  and  kinds,  with 
a  degree  of  complacence  which  denotes  all  absence  of  appre- 
hension in  their  minds  on  accouut  of  such  blemishes.  The 
treatment  of  wind  galls,  unless  lameness  arises  from  their 
presence,  is  a  matter  little  heeded  by  I'rofessional  persons  ;  it 
is  very  apt  to  be  quite  unsatisfactory.  In  very  young  horses 
this  trouble  can  be  alleviated  and  often  cured  by  proper  sup- 
port and  pressure  to  the  parts  affected. 

We  do  not  hesitate  to  say  that,  in  our  opinion,  backed  by 
long  experience,  the  most  judicious  treatment  for  windgalls 
in  very  young  horses  is  the  application  of  nedicated  cotton 
and  an  electric-tape  bandage.  By  this  treatment  you  can 
bring  a  great  amount  of  pressure  to  bear  upon  the  parts  with- 
out obstructing  the  circulaticn  and  may  form  adhesions  and 
hasten  the  absorption  of  the  fluid.  It  is  certainly  worthy  of 
a  trial  in  all  cases  of  that  kind. — Chas.  R.  Wood,  V.  S.,  in

Treatment  at  Critical  Moments. 


J.  K.  Stringfield,  the  Lexington  turf  statistician,  who  has 
prepared  many  tables  in  regard  to  the  winners  of  the  last 
year,  completes  the  season  with  a  comparison  of  the  winnings 
of  the  horses  on  the  American  and  English  tracks.  Says 
he: 

In  closing  this  series  of  tables  it  is  fitting  to  illustrate  how 
the  American  turf  compares  with  the  sport  in  the  mother 
country.  But  a  few  years  ago  England  led  the  world,  but  the 
close  of  1S93  shows  the  United  States  by  odds  tbe  greatest 
racing  country  under  the  sun.  Last  year's  "English  Racing 
Calendar  "  shows  that  the  amount  of  stakes  and  purses  given 
in  England  under  Newmarket  rules  was  $2,302,562,  which  is 
§699,534  less  than  it  took  only  409  horses  to  win  here  in  the 
same  period  of  time,  and  over  $3,000,000  less  than  was  hung 
up  in  stakes  and  purses  on  this  side  of  tbe  Atlantic  in  the 
season  just  past.  The  table  which  follows  shows  America's 
supremacy,  giving,  as  it  does,  the  25  best  winners  of  England 
in  1S93,  while  the  parallel  column  includes  the  leading  stars 
of  the  same  number  in  this  country  :

The    Colts    Must    Win. 


When  it  was  thought  that  trotters  should  not  be  trained 
until  their  sixth,  seventh  or  eighth  year,  there  was  obviously 
no  demand  among  breeders  for  colt  stakes,  consequently  none 
were  offered.  These  days  have  passed,  giving  way  to  a  regime 
when  colt  stakes  form  the  most  popular  features  of  the  har- 
ness-racing season  Every  successful  association  oners  valu- 
able engagements  for  colts  of  different  ages,  and  for  them 
long  entry  lists  are  secured.  The  reason  for  this  is  plain. 
Every  breeder,  in  order  to  make  a  market  for  the  products 
of  his  farm,  must  show  that  the  colts  he  breeds  can  win,  and 
to  do  this  he  must  enter  and  race  them.  There  is  hardly  a 
training  stable  which  does  not  contain  one  or  two  horses,  if 
not  more,  from  two  to  four  years  old,  and  many  of  them  have 
yearlings  also;  therefore  the  offering  of  colt  slakes  is  benefi- 
cial in  two  ways.  It  encourages  the  breeder  and  brings  grist 
to  the  mill  of  the  association  which  gives  them.  Any  meeting 
whose  programme  does  not  include  some  races  for  colls  will 
rarely  succeed  nowadays,  because  trainers  always  desire  to 
have  at  each  meeting  they  engage  in  a  race  for  every  horse  in 
their  string  if  possible.  Moreover,  the  people  who  attend  har- 
ness-racing meeting*  prefer  to  see  coll  slakes  decided,  for  in 
them  they  see  new  performers,  whereas  in  class  races  regular 
race-goers  see  the  same  horses  year  after  year.  Again,  the 
races  for  the  youngsters  arouse  enthusiasm  amongst  the  vari- 
ous breeders'  friends,  and  augment  the  attendance.  It  is, 
therefore,  easily  seen,  on  account  of  the  annually  increasing 
production  of  harness  horses,  that  more  and  more  colt  races 
will  be  demanded  in  the  future.  Every  associalioo,  even  to  the 
most  unpretentious,  should  include  such  contests  in  its  pro- 
gramme, even  though  its  means  only  justify  the  guaranty  of 
a  very  small  amount  of  money  to  each  of  the  placed  horses.

I  see  that  J.  G.  Follanebee  came  all  the  way  from  the  Pa- 
cific Coast  to  assist  at  the  weddiogof  his  friend  Frederick  Geb- 
hard.  So  with  "Jack"  Follansbee  and  Best  Man  DeCourcey 
Forbes  on  hand,  the  newly  made  Benedict  took  tbe  vows  of 
matrimony  upon  him  with  his  friends  of  the  turf  slarting  him 
in  fitting  fashion.  It  may  not  be  generally  known  that  the 
Gebhard  racing  colors  will  still  be  seen  on  our  tracks,  but 
mainly  in  hunt  and  cross-country  races.  For  the  steeple- 
chases of  the  Coney  Island  Club  the  chestnut  horse  Rodman, 
a  six-year-old  by  Rutherford — Leveret,  has  been  engaged  to 
carry  the  Gebhard  "spots"  between  the  flaes.  Mention  of 
De  Courcey  Forbes  and  his  friendly  offices  as  best  man  at  tbe 
Gebhard  wedding  reminds  me  that  the  President  of  the  New 
York  Jockey  Club  had  a  worthy  namesake  on  ihe  turf  away 
back  in  the  sixties.  De  Courcey,  a  chestnut  horse  foaled  in 
1864,  by  Trovatore,  out  of  Rhoda  (Fleetwiog's  dam),  was  a 
good  performer  in  1S67  and  1868.  As  a  three-year-old,  how- 
ever, De  Courcey  had  the  misfortune  to  run  up  against  ihe 
flying  filly  Ruthless,  who  was  the  champion  alike  of  her  age 
and  sex. — Sporting  World,  N.  Y. 


S.  McLaughlin  lost,  March  13,  tbe  two-year-old  bay  geld- 
ing by  Linden,  out  of  Lady  Wenlock,  thai  he  is  training  for 
Mr.  Dahlman.  The  youDgster  stepped  in  a  hole  while  at 
exercise  on  the  boulevard,  broke  his  leg  and  had  to  be  de- 
stroyed. 


The  average  man  pays  too  little  attention  to  his  mares,  but 
treats  them  the  same  as  geldings.  He  buys  what  he  considers 
a  prelly  fair  mare,  or,  perhaps,  an  extra  good  one,  mates  her 
with  some  stallion,  good  or  bad,  in  the  vicinity,  and  considers 
bis  part  toward  producing  a  tine  colt  is  accomplished.  He 
wor-ks  his  mare  and  drives  her  just  the  same  as  though  she 
were  not  with  foal,  often  prolonging  her  work  to  exhaustion. 
He  keeps  on  until  her  time  is  nearly  up,  and  then,  if  she 
should  lose  her  foal,  says  that  he  has  "no  luck  in  raising 
colts." 

Another  thing  I  have  noticed.  Many  men  drive  their 
broodmares  and  keep  them  in  harness  from  six  to  eight,  or 
perhaps  ten  hours  daily.  They  may  unhitch,  but  fail  to 
remove  the  harness,  which  is  actual  cruelty,  as  the  majority 
of  mares  will  not  evacuate  the  bladder  while  the  crupper  is 
on.  After  standing  for  hours  in  harness,  and  the  bladder  is 
distended  to  its  utmost  capacity,  they  get  in  their  buggy  and 
drive  the  mare  along  at  a  lively  clip — it  may  be  one  mile,  it 
may  be  ten.  Then  if  she  should  have  an  attack  of  inflamma- 
tion of  the  bladder,  and,  as  a  consequence,  slip  her  foal,  he 
cannot  imagine  what  has  caused  it,  but  attributes  it  to  "  bad 
luck."  This,  of  course,  does  not  apply  to  tbe  large  breeder — 
whose  mares  are  usually  well  cared  for — but  to  the  small 
breeder  and  farmer  who  wants  to  raise  a  "  world-beater  "  and 
have  the  mare  do  as  much  work  as  any  other  horse. 

Take  a  high-strung,  sensitive  mare  and  strike  or  whip  her, 
or  always  be  scolding  her,  and  the  result  of  tbe  unkindness 
will  be  a  colt  with  a  mean  temper  than  can  never  be  made 
a  safe  or  pleasant  driver.  If  you  want  to  raise  horses  with 
fine  dispositions,  docile  and  affectionate,  treat  your  brood- 
mares as  you  should  your  wife,  always  considerately  and 
kindly,  and  under  no  provocation  allow  them  to  be  whipped 
or  abused  in  any  way.  A  mare  is  very  susceptible  to  mental 
impressions  which  are  quickly  carried  to  the  plastic  brain  of 
the  fetus,  there  to  remain. 

Prospective  maternity  should  want  for  nothing  that  will 
promote  comfort.  Let  your  mare  have  daily  exercise  in  pas- 
ture, if  possible.  She  will  move  around  all  that  is  necessary. 
I  would  not  work  them  after  the  eighth  month,  unless  it  be 
very  light  work.  A  mare  should  be  fed  plenty  to  keep  her  in 
a  good,  thrifty  condition,  but  not  too  fat.  The  last  two 
months  of  her  pregnancy  she  should  have  bran  only  for  her 
evening  meal,  feeding  oats  at  morning  and  noon.  I  have  no- 
ticed that  viburnum  compound  is  recommended  as  a  prevent- 
ive of  abortion  in  mares.  I  have  had  some  four  years'  expe- 
rience in  using  this  compound. 

You  only  give  one  ounce  every  one  oj  two  hours  to  a  mare. 
That  kind  of  a  dose  would  never  prevent  an  abortion  if  the 
mare  were  badly  off  I  used  it  on  a  mare  a  year  ago  with  fine 
results.  She  had  been  out  in  pasture  all  day,  and  when 
brought  up  in  the  evening  showed  unmistakable  signs  of 
aborting.  The  vulva  was  swollen  and  mucus  discharging; 
the  flanks  dropped  in,  rudder  rapidly  filling,  her  tail  switching 
nervously,  etc.  She  would  paw  tbe  ground,  lie  down  and  get 
up  every  five  or  ten  minutes.  I  saw  that  something  must  be 
done  immediately.  Viburnum  prunifolium  had  been  recom- 
mended, but  not  having  any  of  it  and  having  some  viburnum 
compound  in  tbe  house  I  gave  her  three  ounces  of  the  com- 
pound at  cne  dose,  well  sweetened,  and  in  a  pint  of  as  hot 
water  as  she  could  take,  then  blanketed  her  and  kept  her 
warm.  In  twenty  minutes  she  was  quiet  and  apparently  free 
from  pain.  At  the  end  of  one  hour  I  gave  her  one  ounce  of 
the  viburnum  prunifolium,  for  which  I  had  driven  to  town 
and  obtained  in  the  meantime.  One  ounce  of  the  viburnum 
compound  would  never  have  saved  her  from  aborting,  and  I 
would  not  hesitate  to  repeat  a  three-ounce  dose  at  the  end  of 
twenty  minutes  if  the  pain  did  not  subside  ;  it  is  only  ei^ht 
times  tbe  dose  for  a  person,  which  in  most  medicines  is  a  dose 
for  a  horse.  In  the  case  just  mentioned  the  mare  was  within 
forty-five  days  of  completing  her  full  time.  Tbe  year  before 
she  was  threatened  at  the  same  period ;  neither  time  was 
there  any  apparent  cause. 

Two  years  ago  a  friend  here  had  a  mare  abort,  and  last  year 
he  fed  bera  pint  of  wheat  daily  for  several  months  previous 
to  her  foaling,  and  she  carried  her  foal  full  time  without  be- 
ing threatened  with  abortion. 

When  a  mare  has  about  completed  her  pregnancy  and  the 
time  draws  near  for  foaling,  watch  her  closely.  Usually,  not 
only  the  udder  is  full,  but  the  leals  fill  to  the  point  and  a  sort 
of  wax  forms  on  the  point  of  teat  (but  not  always.)  Fre- 
quently ihe  milk  will  stream  out  for  a  few  hours  before  foal- 
ing. When  a  mare  reaches  this  point  never  leave  her,  for 
she  may  require  your  help  at  any  moment.  But  never  inter- 
fere or  give  help  until  you  know  it  is  necessary.  Let  her 
have  a  roomy  box-stall,  well  bedded  wilh  clean  straw,  adjoin- 
ing a  clean  paddock;  if  the  weather  is  sufficiently  warm  let 
her  occupy  whichever  she  prefers,  usually  at  the  last  mo- 
ment she  will  lake  tbe  middle  of  the  paddock.  As  a  rule  I 
would  assist  a  foal  to  its  feet  and  help  it  until  it  has  suckled. 
Wilh  our  fillies  we  have  never  had  any  trouble  about  sheir 
bowels  moving,  but  with  the  colts  we  have  invariably  had  to 
give  an  injunction  of  soapsuds.  An  hour  or  two  after  foal- 
ing give  the  mare  a  drink  of  water  wilh  the  chill  taken  off, 
followed  soon  with  a  hot  bran  mash.  They  are  feverish  at 
this  lime  and  want  to  drink  frequently;  that  is  the  reason 
mares  in  a  pasture  at  foaling  time  often  get  their  colts  down 
in  asLream  ofwnter;  the  little  things  are  weak,  and  if  they 
once  get  down  in  the  mud  and  water  they  are  liable  todrown. 
Great  care  should  be  taken  to  prevent  the  mare  getting  wet 
or  chilled  before  the  ninth  day.  After  that,  ordinary  care 
and  plenly  of  feed  is  all  that  is  required. — Chicago  Horse-

Directum,  the  trotting  king,  had  a  bad  habit  of  running 
into  the  fence.  George  Starr  bad  all  he  could  do  to  keep  him 
stiaight,  then  John  Kelly  tried  his  band  and  every  kind  of 
bit  he  could  purchase,  but  of  no  avail.  When  forced,  the 
black  coll  would  swerve  into  the  fence.  Monroe  Salisbury  de- 
termined to  see  what  was  the  matter  with  him, so  at  Terre 
Haute  he  told  Kelly  to  get  the  pacer  out  and  he  would  ride 
behind  Directum.  Before  he  had  driven  him  three  hundred 
yards  he  discovered  the  cause  and  in  a  few  seconds  he  got  the 
colt  straightened  out  and  could  hardly  drive  him  near  the 
inside  fence.  On  being  asked  how  he  did  it,  he  said:  "  Why 
the  black  rascal  when  touched  on  the  off  side  wilh  the  whip 
tried  to  getaway  from  it  and  bolted  for  the  fence,  so  I  just 
tapped  him  on  the  nigh  si<ie  and  he  went  straight.  Kelly- 
will  never  have  to  use  anynew  bits  on  him  hereafter."  Di- 
rectum never  made  a  mistake  of  swerving  from  that  day 
to  this.

Forging. 

Forging  is  an  annoying  fault,  especially  on  country  roads. 
David  Koberge  explains  in  his  new  book  how  to  control  this 
defective  action.  He  recommends  checking  and  shoeing: 
"  The  effect  of  checking  is  first  that  the  vertebral  column  or 
backbone  becomes  more  or  lets  bent  downward,  according  to 
he  height  of  the  checking,  and  further,  the  bending  down- 
ward of  the  backbone  gives  a  greater  obliquity  to  the 
shoulders,  causing  the  forefeet  to  point  forward  standing  or 
in  motion,  and  this  causes  an  obliquity  in  the  corresponding 
angle  of  the  hind  extremities.  There  is,  therefore,  under 
such  circumstances  a  greater  distance  between  the  hind  and 
the  forefeet,  and  consequently  there  will  be  the  less  chance 
of  forging.  Checking  also  causes  the  forefeet  to  be  carried 
higher  than  before,  while  the  hind  feet  will  be  carried  lets 
high;  this  also  diminishes  the  chances  of  forging.''  If  the 
feet  cannot  be  separated  to  the  extent  desired  by  checking, 
theu  resort  to  shoeing:  "This  is  done  by  raising  the  toes  of 
the  forefeet ;  it  will  cause  them  to  point  forward,  whether 
standing  or  traveling.  Next  raise  the  heels  of  the  hind  feet, 
which  will  produce  the  opposite  effect,  namely,  pointing 
backward.  This  will  cause  the  feet  to  be  kept  farther  apart 
while  traveling.  With  many  horses  this  last  method  will 
answer,  when  again,  with  some  long  and  crooked  hind  legs 
and  sprawling  horses,  the  gait  will  have  to  be  shortened,  and 
this  can  only  be  accomplished  by  adding  a  toe  piece  to  the 
hind  shoes,  sometimes  set  full  at  the  toe  with  no  heel,  and  by 
applying  high  quarter  rolling-motion  shoes  to  the  forefeet. 
This'  rolling-motion  shoe  on  the  forefeet  will  cause  them  to 
rock  over  quicker  than  would  a  Hat  shoe,  and  thus  enable 
them  to  be  kept  out  of  the  way  of  the  hind  feet,  and  so  pre- 
vent striking.  The  toe  calks  on  the  hind  shoe  will  shorten 
the  stride  of  the  hind  feet,  and  this  circumstance  will  tend 
to  shorten  the  stride  of  the  forward  feet  also."  In  extreme 
cases  both  checking  and  shoeing  are  required  to  prevent  forg- 
ing. Mr.  Roberge.it  will  b^  observed,  states  the  principle 
and  allows  plenty  of  latitude  for  play  of  judgment  on  the 
part  of  the  owner.  How  to  apply  the  remedy  each  reader 
must  discover  for  himself.  Iu  other  words,  the  owner  of  the 
horse  must  experiment  until  he  finds  the  right  check  hole 
and  the  proper  elevation  for  toes  and  heels. — Turf,  Field

Plunger  Chris  Smith's  Hard  Luck. 

"  1  saw  Plunger  Chris  Smith  lose  three  bets  one  day  that 
staggered  me,"  said  one  of  the  boys  who  makes  his  living 
telling  the  bettors  good  things  in  the  over-the-river  pool- 
rooms. 

"  What!     Is  it  a  hard  luck  story?"  said  one  of  the  touts. 

"  Yes,  but  I  think  it's  a  good  one." 

"  Well,  let  it  go  then.     What  is  it  ?" 

"Two  years  ago  I  was  hustling  around  the  poolrooms  in 
Hot  Springs,  and  I  met  Smith.  He  was  having  a  hard  time 
getting  his  money  on.  So  he  hired  me  as  his  commissioner. 
We  were  sitting  in  The  Turf  one  afternoon  when  Chris  pulled 
out  a  bundle  of  money.  He  skinned  off  $1,500  and  told  me 
to  bet  it  ou  Marie  K.  at  even  money  to  win  at  New  Orleans. 
1  got  it  on  and  came  back  and  handed  him  the  tickets.  _  He 
looked  over  the  board  and  said  :  'Even  money  Benefit  in  a 
jumpio' race  at  Gloucester.'  He  handed  me  ten  new  $100 
bills  and  told  me  to  place  them  on  Benefit.  I  did  so.  When 
1  came  back  he  and  I  were  talking  when  he  discovered  that 
at  East  St.  Louis  they  were  laying  4  to  5  for  the  horse  named 
J  I  B  to  show.  He  handed  me  $1,200  and  I  played  J  I  B  to 
show.  I  had  just  got  the  money  on  when  the  telegraph  in- 
strument clicked  and  the  operator  yelled:  'They're  off  at 
New  Orleans  !'  There  was  another  click  or  so  and  the  oper- 
ator yelled:  '  Maiie  K.  fell  and  hurt  her  jockey!'  I  was 
dead  sore,  as  a  cool  $3,000  had  gone  glimmering.  The  in- 
strument had  hardly  clicked  off  the  result  of  that  race  when  it 
announced  that  tbey  were  off  at  Gloucester,  and  the  official 
showed  that  Benefit  was  not  one-two  three.  A  moment  later 
the  operator  said  Benefit  had  been  pulled  and  the  owner  and 
horse  had  been  ruled  off.  Well,  there  were  two  dead  tough 
luck  bets.  Then  they  were  off  at  East  St.  Louis,  and  the 
operator  called  oil' the  winner  and  place  horr-e  and  announced 
J  I  B  as  third.  Well,  that  was  pretty  good,  anyhow,  and  I 
was  about  to  cash  the  ticket,  when  he  yelled  :  'That's  a  mis- 
take: Frolic  gets  third  place  at  St.  Louis!'  and  I  like  to  fell 
dead  in  a  fit.  I  was  sore.  Ifwehadgot  a  run  I  wouldn't 
care,  but  it  was  all  hard  luck.  But  Smithy  never  said  a  word."

Foreign  Racing  Notes. 


Pacers  Lead. 


The  following  rare  and  spicy  bit  of  news  clipped  from  the 
Chicago  Horseman  is  well  worth  perusing,  for  it  is  quite  sta- 
tistical in  make  up  and  shows  that  the  pacer  is  more  prolific 
in  extreme  speed  than  the  trotter: 

Among  the  trotters  no  horse  holds  a  record  between  Nancy 
Hanky'  champion  mark  of  2:01,  and  Directum's  record  of 
2:0">1.  Among  the  pacers  there  are  three,  Mascot,  2:01,  Fly- 
ing Jib,  2t05,  and  Hal  Pointer,  2:04*.  Between  Directum, 
;  ad  Sl&mboul,  2:07$,  no  trotters  intervene,  but  between 
Direct,  2:05  '.  and  (  *n  Ionian  and  Will  Kerr,  2:071,  no  less  than 
eight  pacers  placed.  They  are:  Robert  .1,  2:05 1,  Sulndin, 
Jay-EyeSee,  2:00 ',  ;  Johnston,  2:0(1',;  Hoy  Wilkes, 
Guy,  2:06};  Munnger,  2:0*;;,  and  W.Wood,  2:07. 
After  Stamboal  comes  Alix,  Arion  and  Kremlin,  whose  rec- 
ords arc  all  2:07i(.  The  pacers  in  their  notch  are  represented 
only  by  Hal  Dillard,  2:07,'.  The  trotters  who^e  marks  range 
from  2:08  to  2:0 9 are:  Murtha  Wilkes.  2:08;  Pixley,  2:081; 
Sutiol,   2:08J;  Hulda,  2:08};    Belle    Vera,   2:083  ;  Fantasv, 

Maud  S .,  2:OS|  ;  Palo  Alto,  2:OS|  ;  and  Nelson,  2:09. 
The  pacers  are  :  Blue  Sign,  Hal  Braden,  May  -Marshall,  Silk- 
■■■  I  I.  H.  L,  Coast  man,  Storm  and  Barney.  From  2:09  to 
2:10  and  InclaUTe  of  the  latter,  the  trotters  are:  Allerton, 
Guj,  Harriet ta,  Jay-Eye-See,  Little  Albert,  Magnolia,  Mo- 
quette  and  Walter  K;  the  pacers,  Crawford,  Diablo,  Prima 
Doooa,  Vinette.  Paul,  Atlantic  Sing,  Lanra  T.,  Wioalow 
Wilkes,  Major  Wonder.  Blanche,  Louise  Cricket  and  (iuin- 
ettc.  The  'rollers  in  tin-  2  1  o  list  number  twenty-three,  and 
the  pacers  thirty- five.  Of  the  difference  of  twelve  in  favor 
of  the  pacers,  two  are  gained  in  the  highest  notch  and  ten 
between  2:o.'.  .nd  2:07$,  which  is  technical  and  conclusive 
proof  that  the  pacing  division  leads  in  extreme  speed. 


The  Australian  mare  Mons  Meg,  who  was  sent  to  England 
by  the  late  Hon.  James  White,  is  due  to  foal  to  Donovan. 
She  never  accomplished  the  great  things  that  were  expected 
of  her,  but  she  started  favorite  for  the  Cesarewitch. 

There  has  been  no  betting  on  the  Derby  worth  mentioning. 
Ladas  and  Match  Box  are  still  rival  fancies,  but  an  impres- 
sion is  gaining  ground  that  Bullingdon  may  be  a  useful  cus- 
tomer in  the  Derby.  Bullingdon,  like  Son  of  Mine,  is  not 
amongst  the  entries  in  the  Guineas,  which  race  would  settle 
the  question  of  precedence  between  the  Derby  favorites. 

A  rumor  to  the  effect  that  the  well-known  jockey  Sam 
Loates  had  obtained  a  renewal  of  his  license  to  ride  received 
a  check  when  it  was  found  that  bis  name  was  not  amongst 
the  list  published  in  the  official  Calendar  the  other  day.  He 
has  been  standing  down  since  1S90.  It  now  seems  that  he 
has  got  a  new  lease  of  riding,  but  that  his  name  was  acci- 
dentally omitted  from  the  list.  Many  people  think  it  would 
have  been  a  graceful  act  if  the  name  of  '*  Charley  Wood  "  had 
been  restored.  He  has  been  sufficiently  punished,  and  has 
borne  his  sentence  of  banishment  with  exemplary  patience. 

The  stud  career  of  Signorina  forms  a  pretty  sort  of  com- 
mentary upon  the  pretty  sort  of  jargoning  we  sc  constantly 
hear  about  the  sure  and  certain  profits  of  breeding,  if  well- 
bred  mares  are  mated  judiciously  to  fashionable  sires.  Sig- 
norina went  to  the  stud  two  years  ago,  and  has  been  sent  each 
season  to  Sheen  (fee  200  guineas),  the  grievious  result  being 
that  she  has  twice  slipped  her  foal.  What  with  the  sire's 
fees,  the  keep  of  the  mare  and  other  expenses,  Signorina's 
owner  must  be  about  £800  out  of  pocket  by  her  over  the  two 
years,  which  would  be  a  startling  issue  for  a  poor  man  who 
had  been  gulled  into  taking  up  breeding  a  business.  Signor- 
ina's owner  must  now  bitterly  regret  that  he  did  not  accept 
the  offer  of  £20,000  which  was  made  for  her  by  some  simple- 
ton, but  which  was  refused. 


Mr.  John  Corlett  thus  pays  a  tribute  to  Fisherman : 
"  Amongst  the  horses  that  Special  License  defeated  in  1857 
may  be  noted  Fisherman,  St.  Giles,  Tournament,  Underhand, 
Serathnaver,  Cotswold,  and  two  of  the  horses  which  ran  the 
famous  dead  heat  for  the  Cesarewitch,  viz.,  El  Hakio  and 
Queen  Bess.  Kare  old  Fisherman — who  afterwards  laid  the 
foundation  of  such  a  magnificent  breed  in  Australia — was 
close  up,  notwithstanding  that  he  was  handicapped  to  give 
some  of  the  runners  nearly  five  stone  and  he  had  at  this  time 
run  in  nearly  thirty-four  races,  nearly  ascore  of  which  he  had 
won.  In  those  days  the  cracks  were  not  laid  up  in  cotton 
wool  as  they  are  now.  How  puny  are  the  records  of  the  mod- 
ern race-horses  as  compared  with  the  performances  of  this 
fine  old  fellow.  We  have  mentioned  that  Queen  Bess  ran  a 
dead  heat  for  the  Cesarewitch.  At  Kelso,  Fisherman  gave 
her  3st.  ]2  lb.  over  a  mile  and  a  half,  and  after  a  terrific  race 
he  was  beaten  by  only  a  head.  After  an  interval  of  an  hour 
he  was  brought  out  to  rnn  over  the  same  distance  against  a 
mare  called  Breeze,  who  bad  won  several  races.  He  did  not 
run  again  that  day,  but  on  the  one  following  he  tackled  Queen 
Bess  again,  this  time  at  3st.  5  lb  ,  and  the  distance  two  miles. 
He  was  beaten  by  only  a  neck.  Never  was  there  such  a  cast- 
iron  horse." 

"There  is  nothing  so  dangerous  in  racing  as  to  allow  your- 
self to  be  led  by  the  nose  by  theories,"  writes  Vigilant  in  the 
London  Sportsman.  "Private  Mulveny  expressed  his  theories 
at  the  taking  of  the  town  of  Lontungpen,  and  he  was  right. 
You  establish  a  theory  that  certain  strains  of  blood  will  pro- 
duce a  stout  horse,  and  straightaway  comes  a  horse  with  those 
strains  that  is  good  only  on  the  T.  Y.  C.  You  get  a  magnifi- 
cent yearling,  with  all  the  points  that  'cannot  fail  to  race,' 
and  he  never  even  sees  a  racecourse,  and  you  get  a  little  buck 
rabbit  that  has  no  points  at  all  and  he  becomes  a  Lecturer. 
Macaioni  came  to  5  to  1  for  the  Derby  of  1S73  on  the  Tues- 
day before  the  race,  simply  because  the  'Sweetmeats  like  to 
hear  their  feet  rattle.'  In  the  meantime  a  deluge  fell ;  the 
course  *as  'up  to  the  neck,'  Macaroni  went  back  to  10  to  1, 
and,  proved  hi -nself  a  veritable  mudlark.  'On  a  severe 
course  every  ounce  tells '  is  another  theory  that  is  often  put 
forward.  It  was  used  more  especially  about  the  Cambridge- 
shire, and  up  came  the  three-year-old  Foxhall  on  the  Criter- 
ion Hill  with  9st.  on  his  back  ;  and  Plaisanterie,  a  year  later 
with  8st.  12  lb.  We  talk  of  heavy-shouldered  horses  being  of 
no  use  at  Epsom,  and  down  the  hill  comes  George  Frederick 
like  greased  lightning  and  wins  the  Derby.  Many  of  the 
theories  that  are  so  patly  expressed  ought  to  be  handed  over 
to  the  Journalistic  Novice."

"  What  the  eye  can  reveal,"  "  I  could  see  it  in  his  eye," 
"The  eye  is  the  window  of  the  soul."  These  are  familiar 
quotations.  How  have  we  profited  by  them?  We  turn  the 
upper  lid  and  note  the  condition  of  intlammation.  That  is 
about  all.  There  are  other  expressions  worth  our  attention 
The  dilated  pupil  means  congestion,  especially  of  the  capil- 
laries. In  contracted  excitation  of  the  nerve  centers,  with  de- 
termination of  blood,  the  eyes  give  us  an  expression  of  dull- 
ness in  the  former,  of  brightness  in  the  latter.  A  sharp  ex- 
pression of  the  eyes,  with  a  dry  and  pinched  appearance  in- 
dicate inflammation.  In  effusion  there  is  a  marked  contrast, 
the  eyes  lose  their  sharp,  bright  expression  and  become  dull. 
Enfeebled  nutrition  of  the  brain  is  detected  by  the  express- 
ionless eye  with  uncertainty  in  its  movements.  In  irritation 
of  the  brain  the  eyes  have  an  oblique  appearance  with  slight 
divergence  in  the  axis.  The  disease  of  irritation  is  shown  by 
the  retraction  of  the  eye  in  an  upward  direction.  The  disease 
of  atony  is  shown  by  the  full  expressionless  eye.  Color  of  the 
conjunctivia  and  associate  membranes  are  of  considerable  im- 
portance. Excess  indicates  activity  of  the  heart  with  gen- 
eral vascular  excitement.  Defect  of  color  shows  poor  blood 
lencocylhaemia  or  an  impaired  circulation  to  the  surface. 
The  dark  red  is  associated  with  zymosis  and  has  reference  to 
sepsis  of  the  blood.  If  seen  in  pneumonia  it  calls  our  atten- 
tion to  typhoid  symptoms,  with  great  prostration.  The  dull 
purple  color  may  be  caused  by  disease  of  the  heart  or  lungs, 
with  imperfect  decarbonizatien  of  the  blood,  also  from  a  lack 
of  chlor.  sodium.  Want  of  color  with  a  shade  of  blue  indi- 
cates a  deficiency  of  iron.  Diagnosis  is  a  very  important 
etudy.  My  attention  was  directed  to  this  line  of  diagnosis 
while  reading  humane  medicine,  which  I  would  suggest  being 
a  profitable  pastime  forevery  veterinary  surgeon. —  Dr.  W.

Payne    and    TJllman    "Will    Try   Their   Luck    in 
Louisville. 


Louisville,  March  16. — It  is  stated  on  good  authority 
that  another  pool  room  will  soon  be  opened  in  Louisville, 
and  will  be  backed  by  capital  sufficient  to  make  the  New 
it  indifferent  to  the  freeze-out  by  which  the  Turf  and 
market  have  in  the  past  been  able  to  get  rid  of  all 
competitors  and  keep  up  the  closest  trust  in  a  small  way 
probably  known  in  the  United  States. 

Johnny  Payne  of  Covington  and  Joe  Ullman,  the  big 
bookmaker  of  St.  Louis  and  Chicago,  are  said  to  be  behind 
the  new  enterprise.  Payne  came  here  some  time  ago  and 
gave  the  most  liberal  odds  ever  known  to  local  plungers,  but 
by  a  system  of  persecutions  on  the  part  of  the  old  rooms, 
backed  by  the  venal  city  officials,  he  was  driven  out  and  went 
to  Covington,  where  he  made  considerable  money.  Ullman 
is  probably  the  wealthiest  bookmaker  in  the  world,  his  wealth 
being  estimated  at  nearly  a  million  dollars.  He  grew  rich 
with  Corrigan  at  Hawthorne,  and  now  owns  the  Madison 
track  and  conducts  a  big  future  book  as  well. 

The  field  at  Covington  is  said  to  be  getting  a  little  crowded, 
and  Payne  and  Ullman  have  selected  this  as  the  best  open 
field.  It  is  stated  that  the  old  rooms  can  stop  the  newcomers 
in  only  one  way,  viz.,  pay  them  a  good  round  sum  to  leave 
them  alone.  The  old  rooms  have  been  hoggish  in  the  ex- 
treme, the  odds  being  always  several  points  under  track  odds, 
and  the  new  room  will  be  welcomed  by  all  those  who  like  to 
take  an  occasional  flyer  at  the  races,  as  well  as  the  regular 
plungers. 

Bules  for  Track  Laying. 

The  question  is  often  asked,  ,;What  are  the  rules  for  lay 
nig  out  mile  and  half-mile  track?"  The  following  simple 
directions  will  be  found  useful :  For  a  mile  track  draw  a 
line  through  an  oblong  center  440  yards  in  length,  setting  a 
stake  at  each  end.  Then  draw  a  line  on  either  side  of  the 
first  line,  exactly  parallel  with  and  417  feet  2  inches  from  it, 
setting  stakes  at  either  end  of  them.  You  will  then  have  an 
oblong  square  440  yards  long  and  S34  feet  4  inches  wide.  At 
each  end  of  these  three  lines  you  will  now  set  stakes.  Now 
fasten  a  cord  or  wire  417  feet  2  inches  long  to  th"  center 
stake  of  your  parallelogram  and  then  describe  a  half-circle, 
driving  stakes  as  often  as  you  wish  to  set  a  fence-post.  When 
the  circle  is  made  at  both  ends  of  vour  parallelogram  you 
will  have  two  straight  sides  and  two  circles,  which,  measured 
three  feet  from  the  fence,  will  be  exactly  a  mile.  The  turns 
should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot. 

A  half-mile  track  :  Draw  two  parallel  lines  600  feet  long 
and  452  feet  5  inches  apart.  Halfway  between  the  extreme 
ends  of  the  two  parallel  lines  drive  a  slake,  then  loop  a  wire 
around  the  stake  enough  to  reach  to  either  side.  Then  make 
a  true  curve  with  the  wire,  putting  down  a  stake  as  often  as 
a  fence-post  is  needed.  When  this  operation  is  finished  at 
both  ends  of  the  900-foot  parallel  lines  the  track  is  laid  out. 
The  inside  fence  will  rest  exactly  on  the  line  drawn,  but  the 
track  must  measure  a  half-mile  three  feet  from  the  fence. 
The  turns  should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot.  The 
stretches  may  be  anywhere  from  45  to  60  feet. 

King  of  Veterinary  Remedies. 


Gombault's  Caustic  Balsam  is  known  as  the  king  of  reme- 
dies, and  every  owner  of  a  lame  or  unsound  horse  should  not 
despair  in  effecting  a  cure  until  he  has  given  this  great  stable 
remedy  a  fair  trial.  It  has  won  its  good  name  after  some 
twelve  years  of  exhaustive  tests  in  the  treatment  of  curb, 
splint,  sweeny,  capped  hock,  strained  tendons,  founder,  wind 
puffs,  skin  diseases,  thrush,  pink-eye,  etc.,  and  to-day  stands 
without  a  rival  as  a  curative  agent  tor  the  ills  that 
equine  flesh  is  heir  to.  The  importers,  The  Lawrence- Wil- 
liams Co.,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  claim  that  it  is  safe  and  speedy 
in  its  effects,  and  guarantee  that  a  single  tablespoonful  will 
produce  more  actual,  Jhonest  results  than  a  whole  bottle  of 
any  liniment  or  spavin  cure  now  on  the  market.  Every 
bottle  sold  is  warranted.  Horsemen  should  see  to  it  that  the 
Caustic  Balsam  is  included  in  their  stable  outfit,  particularly 
during  the  hot  campaign,  when  accidents  are  liable  to  happen 
at  any  moment,  and  when  such  a  remedy  may  be  needed  for 
immediate  use.  Write  for  full  descriptive  circular,  testi- 
monials, etc. — Clark's  Horse  Review,  Editorial.

Is  Your  Mare  Barren? 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use 
an  impregnator.  It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  ini- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  ef- 
fective when  everything  else  has  failed.  Several  sets  for  sale 
at  reduced  prices.  Can  be  seen  at  this  office.  Address,

A  Hot  Springs,  Ark.,  special  to  the  Memphis  Appeal- 
Avalanche  says  that  the  racing  meeting,  which  has  been  in 
progress  there  for  the  past  ten  days,  is  about  to  be  brought  to 
a  close  on  account  of  dissatisfactiou  among  horsemen  because 
of  arrears  due  them  on  purses.  President  Hatch  of  the  club 
proposed  to  pay  50  per  cent  of  the  amount  due,  which  some 
were  willing  to  accept,  while  others  refused.  A  meeting  is 
called  for  to-day  at  the  track,  when  some  definite  arrange- 
ment will  be  arrived  at. 


Nick  Hall  will  probably  take  a  string  to  Montana  about 
the  1st  of  July.

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 


FIFTY-EIGHTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  MARCH  27. 

ILL  "the  talent"  ever  have  an- 
other inning  in  San  Francisco  is 
'  the  question  of  the  hour  in   local 

horse  circles  ?  For  about  a  week 
__  past  the  pencilers  have  been  reap- 
s][  ing  a  rich  harvest,  and  the  form- 
"*  players  are  about  broke.  Mr. 
Ferguson  was  In  wretched  form 
to-day.  In  the  first  race  Palm 
Sunday  was  sent  off  in  the  lead,  and  he  was  never 
headed,  landing  a  lot  of  money  for  those  that  knew  of 
his  good  work  in  Mexico  just  previous  to  coming  here.  The 
track  was  quite  fast  to-day,  and  the  time  made  in  four  of  the 
five  races  was  excellent. 

Palm  Sunday,  played  down  from  30  to  1  to  7  to  1,  got  away 
in  front  in  the  first  race,  and  was  never  headed,  winning  by 
two  lengths.  Sidney  ran  second  for  a  time,  but  Orizaba  ran  up 
next  to  Palm  Sunday  coming  around  the  last  turn,  beating 
Durango  four  lengths  for  the  place.  Bliss,  who  was  ofi°  very 
poorly,  ran  up  fourth,  beaten  but  a  short  head  by  Durango. 

Pat  Murphy,  the  favorite,  led  all  the  way  in  the  second 
race,  winning  with  ease  by  two  lengths  after  a  slight  tussle 
half-way  down  the  homestretch  with  EI  Tirano,  who  got  the 
place.  Installator,  with  121  pounds  up,  came  fast  at  the  end, 
and  was  third. 

Nutwood  and  Braw  Scot  fought  to  the  homestretch  in  the 
mile,  Macbeth  lying  third  and  looking  all  over  a  winner  as 
they  turned  into  the  straight.  Bed  Boot  came  like  a  shot 
from  the  middieof  the  pack,  however,and  romped  in  by  over 
a  length,  while  Braw  Scot  beat  Macbeth  half  a  length  for  the 
place.     The  last-named  was  a  well-played  favorite. 

Motto  ran  very  rapidly  from  the  rear  in  the  six-furlong 
dash,  and  was  two  leagths  in  front  at  the  half-pole.  She  led 
into  the  homestretch  by  that  margin,  and  Charley  Weber 
took  a  wrap  on  her  the  last  part  of  it.  Rear  Guard  challenged 
her  in  the  final  sixteenth,  but  the  mare  came  again  and  won 
handily  enough  by  a  neck  in  1:13,  Rear  Guard  second,  a 
length  from  the  fast-coming  St.  Croix.  El  Reno  died 
away  badly  in  the  homestretch. 

Normandie,  well  on  her  stride,  got  oft  in  front  in  the  last 
race.  She  opened  up  a  three  lengths  lead  in  the  first  fifty 
yards,  but  Jennie  Deanegot  up  close  near  the  half-pole,  and 
the  pair  ran  several  lengths  in  front  of  the  field  to  the  home- 
stretch. Morven  loomed  up  dangerous  turning  for  home,  but 
died  awav  at  the  close.  Whitestone  came  out  or  the  bunch 
in  the  straight  and  won  the  race  by  a  neck  from  Normandie, 
who  was  half  a  leugth  from  Jennie  Deane.  Annie  Bucking- 
ham, cut  off  a  little  less  than  three  furlongs  from  home,  came 
on  the  outside,  and  was  a  close-up  fourth.  She  might  have 
won  with  a  fair  share  of  luck. 

Felix  Carr  rode  three  winners  to-dsy  (Pat  Murphy,  Red 
Root  and  Whitestone),  the  other  successful  jockeys  being 
Bozemao  and  C.  Weber.

each  (latter  backed  down  from  30  to  1),  Rosalie  8  to  1,  the 
others  from  12  to  50  to  1.  Rosalie  ran  away  about  half  a 
mile  at  full  speed,  destroying  all  her  chances.  Palm  Sunday, 
McGinnis'  First,  Sidney  was  the  order  at  the  send-oft",  which 
was  a  poor  one.  Palm  Sunday  showed  an  amazing  burst  of 
speed,  and  was  three  lengths  to  the  good  at  the  half-pole, 
Sidney,  Durango  and  Orizaba  close  together,  three  or  four 
lengths  from  the  next  bunch.  Palm  Sunday,  running  under 
a  double  wrap,  entered  the  homestretch  over  a  length  in  front 
of  Orizaba,  who  was  aB  far  from  Durango.  Palm  Sunday  was 
not  to  be  headed,  and  won  as  he  pleased,  being  two  lengths  in 
front  of  Orizaba,  who  beat  the  tiring  Durango  four  lengths.

Macbeth,  backed  down  from  5  to  1  to  o\,  was  a  slight  fav-

were  at  5  to  1  each,  Bridal  Veil  6,  the  others  from  10  to  SO

ond. Patricia  was  left  at  the  post.  At  the  quarter  Nutwood 
was  first  by  half  a  length,  Braw  Scot  second,  one  and  one-half 
lengths  from  Macbeth,  who  was  running  easily.  The  positions 
were  not  materially  changed  at  the  half  or  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch.  In  the  straight  Nutwood  fell  back  and  shouts 
went  up  for  Macbeth.  He  led  for  a  (ew  yards  about  an  eighth 
from  home,  then  fell  back,  Red  Root  coming  fast  through 
the  bunch.  Macbeth  came  again,  but  Red  Root  was  too 
much  of  a  "stretch  horse,''  and  won  handily  by  one  and  one- 
half  lengths,  Braw  Scot  second,  half  a  length  from  Macbeth, 
who  beat  Nutwood  a  neck  for  the  show.    Time,  1:42$.

Trix  5,  Whitestone  7,  Jennie  Deane  10,  the  others  from  12

then  a  couple  more  lengths  back  were  a  lot  of  stragglers. 
Raphael  ran  up  at  a  great  pace,  and  was  but  half  a  length 
behind  at  the  half-pole,  three  lengths  in  front  of  the  bunch 
headed  by  Annie  Buckingham.  Normandie  and  Raphael 
ran  close  together  to  the  final  turn,  where  Morven  bad 
come  out  of  the  bunch,  and  was  third,  over  a  length  in  front 
of  Annie  Buckingham,  who  was  lapped  by  Whitestone.  The 
latter  ran  like  a  flash  from  the  middle  of  the  bunch,  collared 
and  passed  Normandie  near  the  finish,  which  was  a  whipping 
one,  and  won  cleverly  by  a  neck,  Normandie  second,  half  a

FORTY-NINTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MARCH  28. 

Four  favorites  were  floored  in  succession  this  afternoon, 
aDd  the  talent  landed  in  the  middle  of  the  Slough  of  Despond. 
Verily  things  have  been  coming  the  way  of  the  bookmaker 
during  the  past  week.  A  human  winner  not  connected  with  a 
book  would  be  an  attraction  at  the  MidwinterFair — a  thing  of 
beauty  and  of  rare  interest.  Those  unacquainted  with  "  Mr. 
Form"  stand  a  much  better  chance  of  winning  than  their 
studious  friends  who  think  they  see  in  their  private  collection 
of  names  and  figures  some  winners  standing  out  in  bold  relief 
each  day.  The  winners  are  as  the  mirage  of  the  desert  or 
the  will-o'-the-wisp.  They  think  they  see  them,]but  their 
eyes  and  brain  deceive.  The  track  was  fast  and  the  racing 
good  throughout,  in  three  of  the  events  being  nose-and-nose 
finishes. 

Felix  Carr  rode  two  winners  to-day  (by  the  way  they  are

J.  Brown,  Isom  and  Shaw  also  shoved  their  mounts  in  first 
past  the  finishing  point.  Starter  Ferguson  did  much  better 
work  with  the  flag  to-day  than  yesterday. 

Piquante,  played  for  a  killing  by  the  few  "in  on  the  know," 
won  the  first  race  by  a  length  from  the  odds-on  favorite, 
Lady  Jane,  who  might  have  given  Piquante  a  very  hot  ar- 
gument had  she  been  sent  away  on  even  terms. 

Crawford,  the  favorite,  led  up  to  the  last  100  yards  in  the 
second  race,  Hay  market,  a  long  shot,  going  on  and  winning 
by  a  nose  from  old  Morton,  who  would  have  wen  by  a  couple 
of  lengths  had  the  race  been  thirty  yards  longer.  Esperance 
was  a  close-up  third,  with  Crawford  at  his  head.  The  pro- 
verbial blanket  would  surely  have  covered  the  four. 

Huntsman,  the  favorite,  got  away  about  last  in  the  third 
event,  or  he  might  have  won.  Faro  and  Sir  Reginald  ran 
close  together  into  the  homestretch,  the  latter  quitting  about 
'  half-way  down  and  Clacquer  looking  like  a  winner  for  a 
moment.  Victress  came  from  the  rear  like  a  shot,  vigorously 
!  ridden  by  little  Kione,  and,  like  Morton,  had  the  race  been 
just  a  trifle  longer  would  have  won  beyond  a  doubt.  As  it 
was,  Faro  won  by  a  nose,  with  Clacquer  lapped  on  Victress, 
Huntsman  at  bis  heels. 

Tigress  led  up  to  the  last  150  yards  in  the  fourth  race,  one 

mile,  then  Prince  Henry  came  through  and  won  handily  by 

I  over  a  length,  with  Hy  Dy   (who   had   bumped  Ragner,  the 

favorite,  a  number  of  times  in  the   homestretch)  second,  a 

'  length  from  the  unfortunate  6rst  choice. 

The  last  race  went  to  Border  Lassie,  the  favorite,  who  got 
off  in  the  lead  and  was  not  headed.  She  managed  to  beat 
!  Duke  Stevens  a  neck,  and  the  latter  was  only  a  head  in  front 
I  of  Bill  Howard.  Middleton  wa^  cut  off  and  pulled  to  a 
i  canter  in  the  last  eighty  yards,  just  when  it  looked  as  if  he 
|  had  a  fair  chance  to  win.  Irving  claimed  a  foul,  but  it  was 
not  allowed.

Ravine.  There  was  a  great  closing  up  in  the  homestretch, 
Clacquer  coming  from  the  rear  and  looking  dangerous  half- 
way down  the  homestretch.  Then  Faro  got  a  move  on,  and

SIXTIETH    DAY — THURSDAY,  MARCH  29. 

FTER  a   long  and  tedious  wait  the 
patience    of  the    talent  was  re- 
warded.     True,   the  bookmakers 
had  a  trifle  the  best  of  it  on   the 
i- ' "^^V/t"     *i\       day,  yet   two    favorites  and    one 
^^       that  divided  the  attention  of  the 
public  got  home  in  front.     In  the 
first  race  they  ran  right    up    to 
"  f'i    y}   \  form,  and  io  the  secoDd  the  same. 

rt*jJgz^  The  two  last  events  on  the  card 
were  "taken  bv  goou  horses  that  have  not  been  showing  up 
well  of  late.  Riley  Grannan  is  credited  with  taking  about 
$14,000  out  of  the  ring  to-day— $9,000  on  the  victory  of  Pes. 
cador  and  the  balance  on  Braw  Scot.  The  track  was  never 
faster  than  to-day.  but  the  weather  was  not  all  that  could  be 
desired,  a  heavy  fog,  amounting  almost  to  a  rain,  making 
things  unpleasant  toward  the  middle  of  the  afternoon. 

Imp.  Candid,  the  black  filly  purchased  at  the  recent  Lopez 
sale  by  A.  B.  Spreckels,  ran  to-day  after  having  quite  a  rest. 
She  got  away  third,  was  soon  in  front,  and  leading  into  the 
homestretch,  won  eased  up  by  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  the 
driven-out  Orizaba,  who  was  played  for  a  killing.  Connaught, 
an  outsider,  ran  third.  Candid's  win  was  a  wonderfully  easy 
one. 

Jennie  Deane,  also  a  favorite,  duplicated  Candid's  perform- 
ance almost.  She  got  off  third,  went  to  the  front  in  the  first 
furlong,  was  not  thereafter  molested,  and  won  very  easily  by 
one  and  one-half  lengths  from  the  heavily-played  second 
choice,  Inferno,  who  beat  old  Morton  two  lengths.  Vanda- 
light  was  pulled  up  at  the  close  or  she  would,  in  all  probabil- 
ity, have  secured  the  show  money. 

Braw  Scot's  win  of  the  third  race  was  a  marvellously  good 
one.  -  Getting  away  last  in  a  field  of  nine,  he  ran  behind  the 
bunch  until  nearing  the  homestretch,  then  came  through  and 
won  by  a  neck  very  cleverly,  with  Bridal  Veil  second  and  the 
erratic  El  Reno  (who  led  most  of  the  way)  third. 

Pescador,  played  very  hard  by  Grannan,  landed  the  fourth 
race  at  odds  of  3  and  4  to  1.  He  was  in  front  in  the  first 
eighth,  and  leading  Booze  by  a  small  margin  all  the  way 
around  to  the  homestretch,  won  by  a  length  from  Zobair,who 
was  not  quite  up  to  a  bruising  contest.  Two  lengths  behind 
Zobair  came  Blizzard,  he  a  nose  from  Centella,  who,  on  form, 
should  have  won  the  race  easily.  Just  a  week  ago  to-day 
Mr.  Storn's  erratic  mare  carried  100  pounds  and  won  at  a 
mile  in  1:41$.  To-day  she  was  beaten  three  lengths  in  1:42$, 
and  could  not  have  run  better  than  l:43j. 

Zaragoza  won  the  last  race  easily.  Macbeth,  however, 
looked  all  over  a  winner  coming  into  the  straight,  where  he 
was  first  by  two  lengtns.  Nutwood,  coming  like  a  shot, 
swerved  in  front  of  Macbeth  about  100  yards  of  the  finish,and 
was  disqualified,  the  place  being  given  to  Macbeth,  third  to 
Dr.  Ross.  Had  there  been  no  swerving  Macbeth  would  not 
have  finished  better  than  third.

Briton,  Jim  Corbett,  Candid.  The  latter  was  in  front  ere  100

At  the  half  Candid,  True  Briton  and  J.  M.  Palmer  were 
necks  apart  as  named.  Candid  drew  away  gradually,  leading 
into  the  homestretch  by  two  lengths,  and  Orizaba  had  worked 
himself  up  into  second  place,  two  lengths  in  front  of  True 
Briton.  Candid  simply  galloped  down  the  stretch  and  won

MacbHh  was  a  hot  favorite  at  7  to  5.  Nutwood,  heavily 
played,  opened  at  6  to  1,  closed  at  4i.  Castro  was  at  6  to  1, 
Zaragoza  and  Bobolink  S  each,  Patricia  10,  the  others  from 
15  to  SO  to  1.  The  order  at  the  start  was  Macbeth,  Zaragoza, 
Dr.  Ross,  Sam  Brown.  Malcolm  was  left  half  a  dozen  lengths. 
Nutwood  ran  from  the  bunch  in  the  first  furlong,  and  by  the 
time  the  quarter  was  reached  was  first  by  a  head,  Macbeth 
second,  a  neck  from  Patricia,  Zaragoza  fourth,  about  a  length 
further  away.  Macbeth  drew  out  as  they  neared  the  half- 
pole,  where  he  was  a  length  in  front  of  Nutwood,  Patricia 
third,  Zaragoza  fourth  under  a  pull.  Macbeth  led  into  the 
homestretch  by  two  lengths,  and  it  looked  all  over  but  the 
shouting.  Zarrgoza  and  Nutwood  set  sail  for  him  in  the 
straight,  however,  and  about  100  yards  of  the  wire  it  was  ap 
parent  Macbeth  was  a  beaten  horse.  Zaragoza  was  on  about 
level  terms  with  him,  closer  to  the  inside  rails,  and  Nutwood, 
coming  with  a  rush  on  the  right  side  of  Macbeth,  swerved  in, 
causing  Macbeth  to  materially  shorten  his  stride.  Zar3goza 
finished  first  by  half  a  length  easily,  Nutwood  second,  a  trifle 
over  a  length  in  front  of  Macbeth.  The  judges,  after  some 
moments'  deliberation,  disqualified  Nutwood,  giving  second 
place  to  Macbeth  and  third  place  to  Dr.  Boss.  While  a  foul 
was  committed,  it  was  clearly  an  accidental  one,  and  had  it 
not  occurred  few  doubt  but  they  would   have  finished  in  just 

the  order  they  did.

The    Story   of   Billy   McCraoken. 

The  histories  of  the  horses  which  came  to  California  over 
thirty  years  ago  will  always  be  found  interesting  to  horsemen 
of  the  present  day.  The  gathering  up  of  the  tangled  threads 
of  the  stories  of  these  old-time  trotters,  and  weaving  them 
into  a  fabric  that  will  last  for  years  is  not  only  a  pleasure  but 
a  duty.  The  horsemen  who  brought  these  pioneers  across 
the  plains  or  across  the  isthmus  are  rapidly  passing  away, 
and  in  a  few  years  the  stories  they  now  tell  would  all  be 
egendary  were  it  not  for  the  endeavors  of  turf  journalists 
to  publish  the  facts  as  they  are  told  by  these  gentlemen. 

One  of  the  most  interesting  of  these  is  Dr.  O.  C.  Mc- 
Cracken,  a  hale  and  hearty  resident  of  Berkeley,  whose 
seventy-nine  years  rest  lightly  upon  him.  Thoroughly 
familiar  with  all  the  prominent  horses  that  have  come  to 
California  since,  and  being  always  interested  in  a  large  num- 
ber of  good  ones,  it  was  with  pleasure  we  listened  to  the  fol- 
lowing sketch  of  the  stallion  Billy  McCracken,  a  horse  that 
has  left  some  very  good  descendants  in  California: 

I  was  living  in  Chicago  in  1851  when  my  brother,  J.  G. 
McCracken,  who  was  at  Lockport,  New  York,  wrote  me  a 
long  letter  advising  me  to  buy  a  colt  bv  his  horse  Morgan 
Black  Hawk  (afterwards  known  as  McCracken's  Black 
Hawk),  out  of  a  mare  called  The  Letts  Mare.  I  was  more 
than  pleased  with  the  news  that  the  .Letts  mare  had  a  colt 
by  his  horse,  and  I  lost  no  time  in  corresponding  with  the 
owner  and  purchasing  the  colt ;  it  was  then  five  months  old. 
I  did  not  see  the  youngster,  but  knowing  the  sire  as  well  as 
I  did,  and  having  ridden  behind  the  dam,  I  knew  that  I  was 
getting  the  worth  of  my  money. 

This  mare  was  owned  by  a  man  named  Letts,  and  for  her 
remarkable  speed  and  perfect  conformation  she  was  known  as 
"The  Letts  Mare"  by  many,  and  as  "  The  Sampler  "  by 
others.  The  Letts  farm  was  three  miles  from  Medina,  at  a 
place  called  Barneygatt,  Orleans  county,  New  York.  As 
a  number  of  the  young  men  and  old  ones,  too,  at  that  time, 
were  becoming  interested  in  trotting  horses,  the  sole  desire,  it 
seemed  to  me,  of  those  who  lived  within  a  radius  of  forty 
miles  of  the  Letts  farm  was  to  get  a  roadster  that  could  beat 
this  mare  on  that  three  miles  and  a  half  of  road.  Taken 
out  of  a  heavy  wagon  and  hitched  to  a  lighter  one  or  in  one 
that  weighed  as  heavy  as  those  drawn  by  her  contestants,  she 
would  out  trot  them  all  easily,  and  from  the  many  trials 
made  against  her,  she  was  known  as  "  The  Sampler." 

If  booted  and  cared  for  as  the  trotters  are  of  to-day,  there 
is  no  question  in  my  mind  but  she  would  have  trotted  close  to 
2:20.  In  regard  to  her  pedigree,  she  was  always  known  as  a 
Messenger;  there  was  ^a  number  of  this  stock  in  that  part 
of  New  York  at  the  time  she  was  foaled.     In  appearance,  she 


showed  all  the  characteristics  of  the  Messenger  family  and 
buyers  of  fine  stock  would  remember  her  as  an  ideal  trotter. 
Her  clean,  flint-like  legs,  large  eyes,  splendid  head,  long 
neck,  wide  nostrils,  short  back  and  splendid  stifles,  arms,  joints 
and  feet,  stamped  her  as  one  containing  plenty  of  thorough- 
bred blood.  There  never  was  any  doubt  in  my  mind  regard- 
ing a  thoroughbred  foundation  in  this  Letts  mare.  The  colt 
was  not  large ;  he  stood  about  fifteen  haods  when  grown 
and  was  a  perfect  model  of  beauty,  style  and  conformation. 
I  had  more  pleasure  with  him  than  any  norse  I  ever  owned, 
and  I  have  had  horses  since  1830.  His  disposition  was  fault 
less  and  bis  intelligence  almost  approached  the  marvelous. 
When  he  was  three  years  old  I  went  after  him,  and  as  I  de- 
termined to  send  him  by  boat  to  Chicago,  the  captain  of  the 
vessel  refused  at  first  to  take  him  on  board,  for  he  said  the 
horse  appeared  to  be  too  valuable,  and  if  anything  happened 
he  would  be  held  liable  for  more  money  than  he  cared  to  pay. 
I  saw  the  mate  and  soon  made  arrangements  with  the  two  offi- 
cers to  take  the  lively  youngster  along.  When  the  boat  ar- 
rived at  Chicago,  after  a  voyage  of  nearly  1,400  miles,  you  can 
imagine  my  surprise  to  see  the  colt  standing  among  a  bunch 
of  horsas,  nine  on  each  side  of  him,  without  having  a  scratch. 

I  drove  the  colt  around  the  roads  in  Chicago  and  found 
him  to  be  a  very  pleasant  driver.  I  then  began  to  look 
around  for  a  race  for  him,  aod  in  1855 — the  horse  was  then 
a  four-year-old — I  entered  him  in  a  race  for  stallions  which 
was  to  take  place  at  Milwaukee,  Wis.  1  brought  the  horse 
there,  and  as  soon  as  I  applied  for  stalls,  the  secretary,  who 
was  looking  over  the  list  of  entries  noticed  my  name, 
and  looking  up  said  : 

"Mr.  McCracken,  haven't  you  made  a  mistake?  Your 
horse  is  only  four  years  old,  and  the  youngest  one  of  the 
others  contesting  for  the  purse  is  six  years  old.  Are  you  not 
afraid  your  horse  will  lose?     He  is  so  very  young!" 

I  replied:  "I  do  not  think  they  will"  have  much  the 
best  of  him." 

The  secretary  then  said:  "By  the  way,  Mr.  McCracken, 
you  have  never  sent  in  the  name  of  the  horse  ?  " 

I  replied :  "You  can  put  down  Billy  McCracken  in  your 
book.     I'm  not  afraid  he  will  disgrace  the  name." 

The  race  was  a  peculiar  one  from  the  fact  that  each  horse 
started  alone,  and  the  one  that  made  the  mile  the  fastest  was 
declared  the  winner  of  the  purse.  The  track  was  very  heavy; 
there  was  about  four  inches  of  soft  clay  on  top,  and  the  teams 
had  been  cutting  it  up  for  a  week.  Billy  McCracken  was 
the  last  one  of  the  nine  to  start,  and  much  to  the  surprise  of 
all  the  horsemen  there,  the  little  fellow  trotted  the  mile  eight 
spconds  faster  than  any  one  of  those  who  trotted  before  him. 
Otis  Dimmick,  the  well-known  old-time  driver,  handled  the 
ribbons  over  Billy,  and  a  prouder  man  ycu  never  saw  in 
your  life  than  he. 

At  Oshkosh,  Wisconsin,  the  following  winter,  a  sharp  horse- 
man bought  a  horse  there,  a  "ringer,"  with  which  he  intended 
to  make  a  "killing,"  as  they  say  nowadays.  This  horse  was 
fixed  up  to  the  Queen's  taste,  his  four  white  legs  were  dyed, 
and  the  blaze  in  his  face  was  also  touched  up  by  an  artist. 
With  the  horse  came  a  coterie  of  innocent  looking  men,  and 
soon  after  a  match  was  made  between  the  Unknown  and  Billy 
McCracken.  The  race  was  to  be  to  sleighs  on  the  lake.  The 
amount  put  up  was  $200  a  side,  and  no  better  advertised  race 
ever  took  place  in  Wisconsin.  When  the  day  for  the  great 
event  arrived,  the  weather  was  bitter  cold,  but  that  did  not 
deter  the  hardy  horsemen  and  their  friends  from  coming  in 
sleighs  and  on  foot  to  see  the  race.  I  drove  Billy  and  won 
the  race  with  ease.  A  large  amount  of  money  changed  hands, 
and  a  more  crestfallen  lot  of  sure-thing  men  never  shuffled 
through  the  snow  out  of  town.  I  trotted  Billy  McCracken 
in  several  races  after  that  and  he  never  was  defeated.  He 
was  a  very  square  trotter  needing  no  boots.  He  was  a  very 
strong  finisher  and  could  always  be  relied  upon  at  the  end  of 
the  mile.  He  never  knew  what  it  was  to  be  ugly  in  temper 
and  none  of  his  progeny,  as  far  as  I  know,  were  ever  cross  or 
wicked  ;  they  inherited  his  good  sense  and  seemed  to  take  de- 
light in  doing  their  best  on  all  occasions.  A  whip  was  never 
necessary  for  him. 

My  brother,  J.  G.  McCracken,  started  for  California  in 
1860  with  his  horse  Blackhawk  and  then  wrote  me  to  follow. 
I  took  Dave  Hill  and  Billy  McCracken  to  New  York  and  put 
them  on  the  steamer,  and  with  them  I  came  via  Panama  to 
California.  I  sold  him  shortly  after  to  Mr.  Knight  of  Marys- 
ville  and  this  gentleman  used  him  as  a  buggy  horse  for  years. 
His  wife  drove  him  everywhere.  As  Billy  got  old  he 
contracted  a  bad  habit  uf  turning  his  head  to  one  side  when 
being  driven  on  the  track  and  would  bolt  over  to  the  inside 
fencs.  For  this  reason,  he  was  not  safe  to  drive  in  a  race,  al- 
though Geo.  Evans,  an  old  time  trotting  horse  driver,  oft«n 
declared  that  if  he  could  be  broken  of  that  habit  he  would 
have  been  a  2:20  trotter. 

Billy  McCracken  died  in  1SS0,  leaving  behind  a  progeny  of 
serviceable  horses  that  were  speedy  and  perfect  in  conforma- 
tion, and  one  that  could  pass  almost  all  other  horses  of  his 
age  on  the  roads.  His  only  colt  that  was  known  as  a  sire 
was  called  Emigrant.  His  dam  was  one  of  a  team  of  very  fine 
looking  road  mares  that  were  purchased  by  a  man  named 
Vincent  somewhere  in  Indiana.  She  was  a  large  strongly-made 
animal,  but  her  pedigree  I  did  not  know,  and  I  d<«  not  believe 
her  owuer  did  either.  Emigrant  was  sold  by  Mr.  Vincent  to 
a  Mr.  Hazelline,  I  believe,  who  brought  him  across  the 
plains  to  Oregon,  and  from  there  to  California,  and  that  was 
the   reason  the   horse  was  called  Emigrant." 

Givtug  us  Mr.  Haseltine's  address,  so  that  we  mi^ht  learn 
fuller  particulars  about  the  horse  Emigrant,  Dr.  McCracken 
i  bade  us  good-bye,  with  the  promise  that  he  would  soon  call 
again  and  tell  us  of  other  horses  he  knew  something  about 
that  might  prove  of  interest  to  our  readers. 

A  Good  Suggestion. 

A  gentleman  of  Pleasanton  advances  the  following  advice 
to  horsemen  who  anticipate  shipping  their  stock  by  rail.  He 
says:  "Shippers  of  fast  stock  should  make  it  a  rule  when 
shipping  bv  freight  to  sign  only  such  contracts  as  those  guar- 
anteeing that  the  horse  cars  will  be  placed  immediately  next 
to  the  caboose,  and  will  not  be  switched  in  and  out  at  every 
wav-station  on  the  road."  The  point  is  well  taken  and  should 
receive  the  attention  of  horsemen. 

In  switching  the  horses  in  and  out  of  side  tracks  they  are 
often  knocked  down  by  the  sudden  jar  received  from  one  car 
being  sent  with  a  crash  into  another.  In  nine  cases  out  of 
ten  some  valuable  horse  is  more  or  less  injured  by  this  care- 
less method  of  mixing  horse  cars  up  with  other  freight  cars, 
and  the  owner  has  no  recourse  for  damages.  The  railroad 
cares  naught  what  your  horses  sutler,  but  with  the  combined 
efforts  of  horsemen  throughout  the  states,  the  company  would 
be  compelled  to  listen  and  make  terms. — Direct.

*b,opo*tion\ — The  publication  of  Mr.  Foster's  article  in 
e  American  Horse  Breeder  has  excited  some  controversy 
r  the  proper  form  for  fast  trotting  so  far  as  can  be  deter- 
d  by  comparative  height  and  length,  Though  an  old 
iect  for  difference  of  opinion  it  is  assuredly  a  "  live  topic7 
1  in  the  simple  shape  presented  by  the  two  measurement 
Dtioned  is  not  at  all  intricate.  As  stated  in  the  Breeder- 
D  Spobtsmas  of  last  week  the  list  of  ''long,  even  and 
irt  horses"  was  compiled  from  photographs,  and  othe:  a 
noted  the  fallacy  of  depending  upon  that  data  for  ac- 
ace.  One  eminent  example  has  been  verified  by  the  ta[  e 
1  the  Empress  of  the  tracks  sustains  the  camera  by  being 
inch  higher  than  she  was  long.  But  even  height  and 
gth  may  not  be  correctly  given  when  a  tape  line  is  used, 
tendency  beios  to  increase  the  height  and  take  away  from 
length.  It  is  almost  the  universal  custom  to  elevate  the 
id  when  the  height  is  taken  by  a  standard,  and  to  make 
acceptable  picture  it  must  be  raised  in  the  opinion  of 
oer  and  artist.  To  secure. the  correct  proportions  the 
id  should  be  lowered  until  it  is  below  the  level  of  the 
hers,  aod  in  this  position,  when  both  height  and  length 
taken,  the  result  will  be  accurate. 

tfeasurements,  however  carefully  taken,  are  deceptive. 
ight  varies  by  the  size  of  the  feet  and  the  position. 
len  "  weight  for  inches"  racing  was  in  vogue,  horses  were 
ght  to  shrink  below  their  natural  elevation,  and  when  an 
•mentation  of  height  is  desired  it  does  not  take  long  to 
ch  a  horse  to  make  the  most  of  his  endowment  to  get  up 
high  as  possible.  Length  is  affected  in  the  same  way,  and 
tourse,  the  flesh  carried  influences  the  longitude  as  well  as 
circumference. 

V  table  is  appended  of  several  measurements  of  three 
ed  trotters  and  four  thoroughbreds.  The  trotters  I  meas- 
d  the  others  copied  from  an  article  many  years  ago.  There 
some  of  the  points  which  are  difficult  to  fix  with  any 
■ree  of  similar  accuracy,  that  is  when  different  individuals 
the  operators.  Thus 'it  is  a  certainty  that  Doubloon  was 
six  inches  longer  in  the  back  than  St.  Julien  and  Levia- 
n,  wheo  St.  Julian  was  of  the  same  length  of  body  and 
vialhan  five  inches  longer.  In  all  probabilities  the  thirty- 
i  inches  of  Doubloon  was  a  clerical  or  typographical  error 
•nly-two  inches  being  the  correct  figures.  In  1859  at  the 
Louis  Fair  I  saw  Doubloon,  inspected  him  closely  as  I 
3  "  doing  the  fair  "  for  a  St.  Louis  paper  and  he  was  one  of 
,  striking  animals  on  exhibition.     Immensely  powerful  as 

■  table  shows,  in  fact  one  of  the  biggest  little  horses  for  a 
•hly  bred  one,  the  very  biggest  for  his  height  I  ever  saw. 
Co  carry  out  the  idea  suggested  in  the  paper  of  last  week 
,t  a  better  basis  for  proportion  would  be  depth  of  body  aod 
gth  of  the  same  than  height  of  withers,  the  table  will  be  of 
vice  When  the  comparisoo  rests  on  height  and  length, 
cident,  Dexierand  Lecomle  are  in  the  "even"  list.  When 
th  and  length  are  the  basis  of  the  trial,  Leviathan  is  the 
;v  one  which  beats  Occident  in  the  category  of  "  long  " 
rses.  On  that  ratio  Leviathan  would  be  a  little  over 
ly-seven  inches  between  extremes  of  brisket  and  buttock 
ISt.  Julieonearlysixty-eight  and  a  half  inches  in  place 
sixty-nine  and  sixty-four  inches.  Should  this_  proposed 
.n  of  comparing  girth  and  length  be  of  any  service  in  de- 
•nstraling  capacity  to  trot  fast  it  will  be  from  the  greater 
edom  of  action  which  length  gives,  and  it  is  evident  that 
ien  the  "  middle  piece"  is  light  less  space  will  be  required 
ween  stifle  and  abdomen  to  give  the  hind  legs  room.     It  is 

0  evident  that  "  line  trotters  "  will  not  be  so  apt  to  "scalp" 
ien  the  fore  and  hind  feet  are  further  apart  than  is  the  case 
the  short  class,  though  this  is  not  affected  by  depth  of  body 

1  even  length  does  not  determine  absolutely  the  distance 
irt  of  fore  "and  hind  feet.  The  slope  of  the  shoulder,  length 
humerus,  and  obliquity  of  the  pastern  has  a  good  deal  to 
with  the  position  of  the  front  feet,  and  length .  and  angles 
the  bones  of  the  hind  leg  are  governing  causes  as  well  as 
i  length  of  the  body.  In  the  quotation  from  Horse  Por- 
iture  printed  last  week  in  connection  with  this  question,  it 
.claimed  that :  "To  have  length  of  stride  a  horse  must 
ie  length  of  body  or  length  of  hind  leg."  That  may  be 
e  when  all  other  qualities  are  equal,  though  in  practice 
ie  horses  with  short  bodies  and  short  hind  legs  stride 
ther  than  those  which  are  liberally  endowed  in  both  re- 
els. 

Jccident,  before  his  feet  were  operated  upon  by  Dunbar, 
la  very  long  stride,  and  while  his  body  was  not  long  when 
spared  with  his  height,  his  legs  were  for  an  animal  of  his 
s.  His  elbows  were  higher  above  the  ground  than  the 
ch  larger  horse,  St.  Julien,  and  from  there  to  the  top  of 
withers  the  same  as  the  big  Leviathan. 
?his  point  is  dependent  on  other  things  besides  the  length 
.he  leg  below  the  elbow,  the  angle  aod  length  of  the  humer- 
and  the  length  of  the  olecranon  figuring.  The  humerus, 
iar  as  the  frame  work  can  influence,  has  as  much  to  do  with 
stride  of  a  fast  trolteras  any  other  part.  When  long  and 
iroaching  a  horizontal,  when  the  horse  is  standing  in  a 
oral  position,  the  foot  will  be  thrown  further  forward  tbao 
hort  aod  at  a  greater  angle  from  the  scapula.  When  I  saw 
ctioneer  the  first  time,  about  the  only  adverse  criticism  I 
dewasover  that  "point,"  the  objection  being  the  shortness 
the  upper  bone  of  the  arm.  Governor  Standford  differed, 
ding  that  it  was  the  proper  formation  for  a  fast  trotter. 
it  he  was  right  has  been  thoroughly  demonstrated  in  the 
l  seventeen  years.  In  all  probability  there  never  was  a 
8e  which  stamped  progeny  more  clearly,  and  the  "Elec- 
leer  gait,"  tvpical  of  quick,  rapid  stroke,  has  become 
>wn  all  over  the  country.  With  plenty  of  muscle  to  over- 
le  the  shorter  lever,  and  a  true  adjustment  of  the  parts  so 
t  the  motion  was  in  a  direct  line,  there  is  little  question 
t  that  which  was  considered  faulty  conformation  by  me 
i  an  element  of  success.  A  nd  yet  there  are  several  hordes 
Electioneer  blood  in  my  knowledge  which  would  trot  very

Judge  or  Advocate.— I  have  no  fault  to  find  with  anyona 
for  statingas  forcibly  as  language  can  express  his  preferences 
for  any  particular  line  of  breeding  to  get  fast  trotters.    No  I 
matter  how  far  his  views  and  mine  are  apart  so    long  as  these 
are  fairly  presented  I  am  pleased  to  read   or   listen  to  the  ar- 
guments advanced  on  the  opposite  side.     By  fairly  presented 
it  is  meant  that  there  shall  be  due  regard  paid  to  the  evidence 
on  which  the  plea  is  based,  and  willingness   to   admit  facts 
which  are  so  patent  as  to   be  beyond   legitimUe  contention. 
Iconoclast  in  the  main  "comes  within  this  definition,  and  in 
that  respect  is  so  far  superior  to   many  controversialists,  on  ! 
both  sides  of  the  argument,  that  in  all  sincerity  I  can  say  that  j 
little  fault  can  be  found  with  the  fairness  of  his  presentation.  : 
Still  there  are  times  when  he  might  discard   the  role   of  an  j 
advocate  and  don  the  ermine  with  advantage,  as  whenever  he  ! 
has  filled   the  place  the  charge  has  been  characterized  with  \ 
exceeding  fairness.     But  when  he  takes  up  a  case  as  a  lawver 
he  does  his  best  for  the  side  on  which  he  is  employed,  and  in- 
dulges in  statements  which  effective,  perhaps,  to  convince  a 
jury  would  not  stand  judicial  scrutiny.   Thus  in  a  late  article 
in  the  Stock  Farm  he  says  :     "  I  have  myself  seen  a  yearling  j 
filly  by  a  very  great  and  intensely-bred  trottiog  horse,  whose  | 
first  and  second  dams  were  by  two  sons  of  Lexington.     She  is  ! 
a  handsome  filly,  with  magnificent  limbs  and  is  fortunately  j 
blessed  with  a  very  level  head.     She  cares  to  do  nothing  but 
trot.    I  am  not  daft  enough  to  think  that  she  gets  any  part  of 
her  trotting  propensity  from  her  Lexington  blood,  but  I  think 
it  very  probable  that  her  excellent  limbs  are  at  least  in  part 
derived  from  that  source  as  her  sire's   limbs  are  not  unex- 
ceptionable."    It  does  not  matter  whether  the  many  fast,  very 
fast,  trotting  descendants  of  Lexington  get  the  propensity  to 
trot  so  long  as  the  combination  proved  to  be  what  was  wanted. 
But  the  claim  that  all  tne  fast  trotting  action  is  derived  from 
the   trotting  sire  is  not  substantiated  by  facts.     Were  that 
logical  the  pre  potent  sire  would  never  fail  on  mares  which 
were  bred  on  as  prepotent  Hues  as  himself:  those  with  a  close 
cross  of  the  pernicious  as  invariablv  fail.     Now  if  Directum, 
as  Hark  Corns tock  lately  published,  got  all,  or  nearly  all.  the 
''propensity''"  from  Director,  and  as  Iconoclast  in  a  parallel 
case  says  he  is  not  daft  enough  to  think  any  part  of  the  pro- 
pensity came  from  the  thoroughbred  blood  in  the  dam,  why 
does  it  prove,  that  by  loog  odds,  the  best  of  his  progeny  should 
be  the  outcome  of  the  denounced  mixture  ?     The  alloy,  if 
alloy  it  can  be  termed,  has  added  value  far  beyond  the  best 
of  that  obtained  from  all  trotting  bred  and   this  one  point  is 
sufficient  evidence  to  upset  these  assertions. 

The  form  of  the  thoroughbred  is  the  best  adapted  for  rapid 
locomotion  at  any  gait,  and  the  nearer  fast  trotters  approxi- 
mate that  recognized  type  the  better  they  will  be,  has  been 
my  position  from  the  outset,  after  nearly  forty  years'  experi- 
ence that  opinion  has  not  been  changed,  and  still  greater  con- 
fidence is  felt  in  its  correctness  from  it  being  endorsed  by 
practical  men  who  were  in  opposition  until  conviction  was 
forced  upon  them.  Mr.  Salisbury  is  an  emphatic  supporter, 
and  no  one  will  claim  that  he  is  not  competent  authority. 
Hickok,  Marvin,  Crawfordt  and  many  more  practical  men  of 
my  acquaintance,  are  firm  in  the  belief  that  "  blood  "  is  advan- 
tageous, inasmuch  as  animals  with  near  crosses  of  thorough- 
bred aod  those  with  the  strains  more  remote  which  have 
inherited  the  typical  form  are  superior  to  those  of  divergent 
shape  when  the  test  is  speed,  endurance  and  racing  "pro- 
pensities.'1 When  these  are  found  it  is  of  little  consequence 
whether  the  propensity  was  obtained  from  the  trotliog-bred 
sire  or  the  highly-bred  dam.  The  desired  qualities  are  the 
objective  points,  and  the  amalgation  of  racing-bred  and  trot- 
tiog-bred has  presented  several  which  are  bountifully  en- 
dowed. 

Iconoclast,  in  quoting  the  argument  presented  in  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  a  few  weeks  ago  in  relation  to 
the  case  of  Shanghai  Mary  as  "  an  exceedingly  feeble  one," 
evidently  misconstrued  the  meaning  of  the  language  used. 
Not  absolutely  feeble  from  his  view  point  as  an  animal  of 
appearance  akin  to  the  recognized  thoroughbred  type,  in  the 
absence  of  any  other  knowledge  of  the  breeding,  would  iustifv 
the  presumption  that  it  was  owing  to  carrying  a  portion  of 
the  blood. 

Iconoclast,  in  reviewing  the  Shanghai  Mary  case,  prints: 
"I  regret  to  say  that  the  argument  which  Mr.  Simpson 
derives  from  the  case  of  Shanghai  Mary  is  an  exceedingly 
feeble  one.  No  one  knows  anything  about  her  breeding. 
Had  she  been  a  thoroughbred  the  probabilities  are  very 
strong  that  she  could  have  been  traced,  and  the  bare  state- 
ment that  "she  looked  like  a  thoroughbred  "  is  no  evidence 
whatever." 

A  person  who  had  no  other  information  than  the  above 
would  be  convinced  that  I  had  claimed  that  looking  like  a 
thoroughbred  was  proof  of  being  a  thoroughbred. 

The  exact  language  used  was:  "Green  Mountain  Maid 
leads  by  a  long  way  in  very  fast  progeny,  according  to  the 
Allen  Farm  Catalogue,  from  which  these  sta".istics  are  copied, 
seven  descendands  with  records  in  2:10  or  better.  Her  dam 
(Shanghai  Mary )  had  the|  form  of  a  thoroughhred  without 
pedigree,  much  better  than  a  well  authenticated  ancestry  of 
the  bluest  blood  without  the  form." 

The  claim  is  distinct,  giving  preference  to  form  of  the 
thoroughbred  type  over  blood,  without  the  form,  a  position 
which  I  have  held  for  maoy  years. 

I  must  admit  that  the  following  sentence  is  far  beneath 
Iconoclast  in  both  logic  and  style :  "  I  never  heard  of  a  half 
or  even  a  quarter-bred  two-year-old  that  Arion  could  not 
make  a  holy  «how  of." 

This  is  pesented  as  an  overwhelming  ratiocination  that 
thoroughbred  or  half-bred  mares  should  not  be  used  in  trot- 
ting-stude,and  as  Arion  leads  all  the  other  colts  from  trotting- 
bred  mares  so  far  as  to  make  some  kind  of  a  show  of  them, 
hence  trotling-bred  mares,  excepting  such  as  are  of  the  same 


breeding  of  his  dam  should  be  discarded.  Should  I  retaliate 
by  writing  I  never  heard  of  a  trolting-bred  four-year-old  that 
Directum  could  not  make  a  heliig  spectacle  of,  and  conse- 
quently, anyone  but  an  unco  daft  individual  should  not 
tolerate  them  as  trotting  matrons,  the  reasoning  would  be  on 
a  par.  That  the  2:10£  of  Arion  when  a  two-year-old  to  a 
sulky  on  high  wheels  is  at  the  top,  or  nearly  at  the  summit, 
of  all  trotting  efforts  I  cheerfully  concede,  and  granting  that 
it  does  not  belittle  the  efforts  of  Sunol  at  the  same  age,  to 
the  same  kind  of  a  vehicle,  and  on  a  slower  track,  which 
gave  ber  the  pride  of  place,  and  she  from  a  half-bred  mare, 
and  with  the  Lexington  cross,  too.  Her  three- year-old  per- 
formance is  far  ahead  of  Arion's  at  the  same  age,  being  high- 
wheels  to  bike. 

One  of  the  emphatic  endorsements  of  the  value  of  Dear 
strains  of  racing  blood  in  fast  trotters  is  the  proposed  barring 
of  the  five-year-old  Directum  in  the  free-for-alls  of  the  Grand 
Circuit,  and  as  no  such  threat  has  been  promulgated  against 
the  trolting-bred  the  praise  is  too  obvious  for  contradiction. 

Grand  animals  on  both  sides,  well  worthy  of  the  most  fer- 
vid encomiums  and  the  systems  of  breeding  which  have  pro- 
duced them  well  worthy  of  adoption. 

Simplified. — When  the  National  Association  was  organ- 
ized trotting  law  was  not  so  clearly  laid  down  as  it  is  now. 
The  main  authority  was  a  little  pamphlet  which  was  the  work 
of  the  Fashion  folk,  and  was  scarcely  more  comprehensive 
than  the  "rules"  of  a  much  earlier  date.  Still  with  these 
"  usages  of  the  turf,  custom  and  precedent  "  to  aid,  there  was 
not  a  great  deal  of  jangling,  and  if  disputes  could  not  be  set- 
tled by  the  judges  of  the  day,  in  the  absence  of  a  club,  the 
turl  journals  were  the  courts  of  appeal,  the  verdict,  as  a  rale, 
being  cheerfully  accepted.  In  these  primitive  days  of  track 
sports,  with  trotting  meetings  few  and  far  between,  there  was 
little  necessity  for  an  elaborate  collection  of  statutes,  and, 
should  more  intricate  questions  arise  than  usual,  racing  law 
was  taken  as  the  guide.  But  in  racing  it  was  customary  for 
clubs  in  different  parts  of  the  country  to  recognize  penalties 
inflicted  by  associations  of  reputable  standing  without  any 
regular  treaty,  reciprocal  courtesy  being  the  governing 
motive.  In  the  later  years  of  the  gieat  conflict,  and  after  its 
close,  especially,  trotting  meetings  increased  to  a  remarkable 
extent,  and  large  amounts  were  given  for  horses  to  trot  for, 
large  prices  paid  for  fast  animals.  The  necessity  for  a  union 
of  the  different  associations  and  the  adoption  of  a  code  which 
would  afford  better  government  become  apparent,  and  the 
convention  of  1870  made  a  start  in  the  right  direction. 

Succeeding  conventions  gave  the  opportunity  for  correc- 
tions and  additions  which  were  demonstrated  to  be  necessary, 
and  then  the  organization  of  The  American  gave  an  impetus 
to  reform,  an  emulation  to  excel,  by  improving  the  manage- 
ment of  harness  racing,  was  the  direct  consequence  of  the 
dual  government.  There  cannot  be  the  least  doubt  that  the 
establishment  of  the  Occidental  will  exert  like  beneficial  in- 
fluence on  the  Pacific  Coast  as  the  American  did  in  the  West, 
and  now  that  trotting  law  is  in  such  fair  shape  that  part  of 
the  work  is  simplified.  In  all  probability  no  changes  will  be 
made  in  the  Eastern  rules  by  the  Board  of  Directors,  adopt- 
ing the  code  as  it  now  exists  with  a  few  changes  to  conform 
to  the  By-Laws. 

Not  Supported. — Iftherehas  beenonesound  reason  ad, 
vanced  for  opposition  to  the  establishment  of  the  Occidental 
Trotting  and  Pacing  Association,  it  has  not  come  under  my 
observation.  Once  that  it  was  settled  that  available  funds  for 
an  economical  transaction  of  the  business  could  be  depended 
upon,  there  was  an  end  to  arguments  which  had  any  force, 
and  further  opposition  be  restricted  to  those  who  gained,  by 
subserviency  to  the  National.  These  had  similar  good  cause  to 
prefer  to  be  a  Viceroy;  who  is  better  pleased  with  the  glory  of 
representinga  Monarch  than  be  one  of  a  republic,  and  then  the 
envoluments  are  of  potent  influence.  It  is  quite  true  that  sen- 
timent has  something  to  do  with  the  desire  for  home  rule,  bat 
cast  sentiment  to  one  side  and  there  is  no  lack  of  sound,  sen- 
sible arguments  in  favor  of  the  change. 

Still  the  feeling  that  is  partial  to  the  ountry  in  which  we 
live  is  laudable,  the  absence  of  it  the  mark  of  a  sordid  soul. 
Jos.  Cairn  Simpson. 


Place  the  "big event"  first  on  the  programmes  of  1894,  as 
nearly  everyone  is  dissatisfied  if  it  is  unfinished  and  has  to 
be  carried  over  when  darkness  settles  down.  The  people  pay 
your  bills  and  without  their  support  the  name  of  your  asso- 
ciation will  soon  be  "  Dennis."  They  see  a  big  event  adver- 
tised and  go  to  your  track  for  that  reason  and  find  it  last  on 
the  programme,  and  then  when  night  settles  down  it  is  left  to 
be  "  continued  in  our  next ;"  when  it  happens  so — which  it 
does  in  the  majority  of  cases — they  go  away  from  your  park 
with  a  firm  determination  "  that  is  the  last  of  my  money  that 
that  association  will  ever  get."  And  in  many  cases  it  is  the 
last  that  they  do  get  that  season. 

Thep.e  will  be  a  larger  number  of  horses  entered  for  the 
spring  racingat  Overland  Park,  Denver,  this  year  than  has 
ever  been  before  brought  together  in  the  West.  There  are 
few  tracks,  even  in  the  East,  that  have  ten  entries  for  every 
stake.  Du  Bois  Brothers,  the  lessee  of  the  park,offer  nineteen 
stakes  and  have  from  ten  to  twenty  en'.ries  in  everyone  but 
two.  The  dates  will  be  from  June  0th  to  16th,  and  each  day 
will  be  divided  into  three  trotting  races  and  one  running 
race. 

Peter  WILLIAMS,  the  well-known  horseman,  has  taken 
up  quarters  at  the  Oakland  track  with  Silver  Bow,2:16  ;  Mon- 
tana (3),  2:30,  by  Sidney;  Iago  (3),  2:17 },  by  Tempest ;  Silver 
Note,  2:32,  as  a  two  year-old  ;  Silver  Ring,  a  colt  by  Silver 
Bow,  out  of  Maud  Singleton, 2:2S,  and  a  thoroughbred  colt  by 
Major  Ban.  All  these  horses  are  looking  well  and  will  take 
an  active  part  in  the  races  on  the  California  circuit  this  year, 
as  Mr.  Williams  has  decided  not  to  start  on  the  Montana  cir- 
cuit. 

Thk  people  of  Galesburg,  III.,  are  very  indignant  over  the 
way  C.  W.  Williams  has  treated  them  He  agreed  to  locate 
at  Galesburg  if  a  bonus  of  $40,000  were  given  him.  By  ex- 
traordinnry  efforts  the  amount  was  raised  and  at  the  last 
moment  Williams  changed  his  mind. 

We  have  the  complete  story  of  Venus  which  we  will  pub- 
lish in  next  week's  issue.  There  is  no  doubt  she  was  by  Ven- 
ture and  not  by  Capt.  Webster. 

The  American  Trotting  Register  Association  will  meet  at 
the  Auditorium  Hotel,  Chicago,  next  Wednesday.  April  4th.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


The  Seer,  2:liU,  by  Gen.  Benton,  will  be  shaped  up  for  a 
lower  record.  

Dan  Mjsnkr  is  about  to  open  a  public  stable  at  the  Peta- 
luma  race  track.  

It  is  expected  that  George  SLarr  will  campaign  Jay 
Hawker  this  season.         

Cleveland,  Ohio,  is  to  have  a  new  grand  stand  at  their 
driving  park  at  a  cost  of  $40,000. 

Tillie  Almont,  a  daughterof  Hernani  and  Kilty  Almont, 
2:22$,  is  heavy  with  foal  to  Direct,  2:054. 

Elsie,  by  Gen.  Benton,  out  of  Elaine,  2:20,  is  destined  to 
become  one  of  the  great  broodmares  at  Palo  Alto. 

C.  J.  Hamlin  breeds  many  fillies  at  two  years  old,  and 
has  broodmares  seven  years  old  that  are  grandmothers. 

Zembia  and  Aubine  wiil  probably  be  handled  by  Starr 
thisseason,  with  a  view  to  reducing  their  team  record. 

Jack  Dawson,  by  Director,  2:17,  out  of  Favorite,  2:25,  by 
George  Wilkes,  has  been  placed  in  John  Splan's  stable. 

Isaac  Fleming  has  in  training  at  Fleetwood:  San  Pedro, 
2:144,  Lady  Bullion,  2:lt>i,  Bertrina,  2:24  and  Snip  Nose, 
2r29|.  

Lee  Shaker  has  forty  three  head  of  trotters  and  pacers  at 
Sacramento.  In  this  big  collection  there  are  some  very  fast 
ones. 

Charles  Pkue,  who  was  with  Orrin  Hickok  last  year, 
will  train  this  season  for  Avery  &  Churchill,  of  Alpena, 
Mich.  

Arrangements  have  been  made  to  have  Boodle,  2:19},go 
through  the  campaign  this  year  as  one  of  the  Jesse  D.  Carr 
stable.  

Nathan  Coombs1  favorite  stallion,  The  Dane,  by  Stam- 
boul,  2:07$,  was  shipped  East  to  be  sold  at  Kellogg's  auction 
sale  this  week.  

The  time  has  been  extended  until  May  1st  for  the  giving 
away  of  all  premiums  to  new  subscribers  of  this  journal.  See 
the  advertisement.  

Kremlin  will  undoubtedly  be  trotted  this  season,  though 
he  will  probably  not  be  in  condition  to  start  for  the  money 
much  before  the  fall.         

From  all  sources  we  learn  that  George  Starr  will  have  the 
strongest  string  of  trotters  aud  pacers  to  be  seen  on  the  East- 
ern circuit  this  year.        

A.  Ottinger  says  Aster,  2:16,  never  looked  better.  This 
season  he  will  be  ready  to  go  into  the  2:10  brigade  if  all  the 
reports  are  true  about  him. 

J.  W.  Wisdom  is  talking  of  sending  Challenger  1063.  the 
sire  of  Challenger  Chief,  2:16,  to  Portland  to  make  a  reason. 
He  should  be  well  patronizsd. 

Pleasanton,  Oakland,  Woodland,  San  Jose,  Sacramento 
and  Los  Angeles  are  the  centers  in  which  trotters  and  pacers 
are  receiving  their  daily  exercise. 

Hartford,  Conn  ,  will  hold  a  meeting  this  year  at  which 
there  will  be  no  pools  sold.  This  will  be  somewhat  like  eat- 
ing a  sandwich  without  mustard. 

Mike  Costello  has  two  Dexter  Prince  colts  and  a  three- 
year-old  by  Roy  Wilkes  out  of  a  thoroughbred  mare  that 
promise  to  be  speedy,  at  the  Lodi  track. 

At  French  Camp,  a  few  miles  from  Stockton,  J.  H.  Thomp- 
son is  handling  a  string  of  trotters  owned  by  L.  U.  Shippee. 
There  are  some  very  promising  ones  among  them. 

W.  D.  Connell,  of  Deer  Island,  has  sent  his  three-year- 
old  filly,  by  Altamont.dam  Flora  T.,  to  C.  Roderiquiz,  Port- 
land, where  she  will  be  trained  for  the  spring  races. 


Training  yearlings  will.it  is  hoped,  be  one  of  the  "lost 
arts."  At  Palo  Alto,  only  a  few  yearlings  (not  more  than 
three)  are  receiving  kindergarten  training  for  records. 

Portland  Speed  aud  Driving  Association  has  claimed 
September  let  to  8th  as  dates  for  their  Fall  meeting.  Twenty 
thousand  dollars  will  be  hung  up  in  purses  and  specials. 

J.  B.  Chase,  of  Sonoma,  has  a  very  handsome  black  two- 
year-old  colt  by  Saladin,  (C.  C.  Bemis'  Nutwood  stallion)  out 
of  Black  Bess,  by  Venture,  2:27  J.  It  is  the  making  of  a  great 
trotter.  

According  to  the  current  Year  Book  142  sons  of  Hamble- 
bonian,  eighty-nine  sons  of  George  Wilkes,  eighty-three  sons 
of  Almont  and  fifty  sons  of  Belmont  have  sired  standard  per- 
formers.   

Ihi.o,  2:27A,  by  Electioneer,  is  at  Baltimore,  Md.,  and 
Berna),  2:17,  by  Electioneer,  is  at  Marticello,  111.  These  two 
stallions  are  adverlifled  to  make  their  first  seasons  in  the  East 
this  year  al  $50  each.       

All  kinds  of  rumors  are  floating  around  about  the  mar- 
velous speed  shown  by  Klamath,  Thomas  Raymond's  great 
trotter.     He  ifl  n»id  to  have  trotted  quarters  in  28  seconds 

and  halves  in  one  minute.

A  i-kom'sint  merchant  of  Napa  says  no  committee  was 
appointed  to  wait  upon  the  merchants  and  business  men  of 
that  city  in  regard  to  the  collection  of  $1,000  to  help  the 
association  have  their  annual  race  meeting  this  year. 

Fonn  ThOHAB  has  a  two-year-old  Secretary  colt  out  of  the 
dam  of  Kelly  ft,,  2: 17  J,  that  looks  and  trots  as  if  be  wo  old 
have  very  i  tie  trouble  in  trotting  inside  the  charmed  circle. 
A  better  formed  youngster  would  be  difficult  to  find. 


An  auctioneer  in  a  New  England  city  recently  sold  a  horse 
at  auction  for  50  cents.  The  horse  was  so  boney  that  the 
auctioneer  said,  by  way  of  explanation, that  "they  (the  bones) 
were  exhibited  intentionally,  for  the  purpose  of  showing 
that  none  had  been  extracted." 


C.  A.  Stockton  has  sent  his  fast  four-year-old  filly  Ethel 
Downs,  by  Boodle,  dam  by  Nutwood,second  dam  by  William- 
son's Belmont,  to  the  Salinas  race  track  to  be  trained  by  C. 
F.  Taylor.  In  her  three-year-old  form  Ethel  Downs  forced 
Hillsdale  out  in  a  race  in  2:28}. — Salinas  Journal 


The  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club  of  Alameda  will  resume 
operation  again  this  spring.  The  interest  of  the  members  in 
the  club  has  by  no  means  been  allowed  to  lag  during  the  win- 
ter. The  Melrose  track  is  in  good  shape  after  the  winter 
rains,  and  a  very  small  amount  of  repairs  will  put  it  in  con- 
dition for  use.  

At  the  Los  Augeles  track  Walter  Maben,  Ed  Connolley, 
Charles  A.  Durfee,  Thomas  Raymond,  George  H.  Reed,  P. 
W.  Hodges  and  J.  Sanford  are  handling  strings  of  trotters 
and  pacers.  When  the  first  bell  rings  on  the  California  cir- 
cuit these  Southern  knignts  of  the  sulky  will  pilot  a  number 
of  their  "  unknowns"  to  victory. 

The  chestnut  mare  Puss  (dam  of  Niles  Beauty,  2:19,  Hav- 
erly  (p),  2:25,  and  Modjeska  (p),  2:32£,  had  seventeen  foals, 
and  every  one  (of  them  was  noted  for  beauty,  kindness  of 
disposition  and  good  action.  All  of  them  showed  speed.  Puss 
was  bred  by  D  H.  Gleason  of  San  Leandro,  and  was  sired  by 
Skenandoah  926,  out  of  La  Grange  mare. 

Robert  McGregor  is  the  sire  of  fifty-one  trotters  and 
one  pacer  with  standard  records,  and  of  which  Bonnie  Mc- 
Gregor, 2:13o,  is  the  fastest  and  holds  the  most  heals  better 
than  2:30  to  his  credit,  the  number  being  30.  He  is  also  the 
sire  of  twenty  sires  of  thirty-eight  trotters  and  two  pacers, 
and  of  eleven  dams  of  ten  trotters  and  a  pacer.

The  following  way  for  cleaning  dirty  chamois  skins  is  ret 
ommended:  Soak  the  "shammy  "  over  night  in  clean  water 
then  soap,  and  rolling  the  skin  in  a  bunch, beat  with  a  smoot 
stick — a  wagon  spoke  is  good  for  the  purpose.  Keep  wel- 
soaped  and  repeatedly  turn  the  "shammy  "  until  all  the  dii 
is  well  started  outward.  Then  rinse  several  times  in  clear* 
soft  water  and  wring  dry.  Before  using,  wash  in  water  t 
which  a  little  pulverized  alum  has  been  added.  A  cbamoi 
skin  cleaned  in  this  way  will  have  some  lint  on  it,  which 
few  days'  use  will  remove. 


John  Denman,  of  Colorado  Springs,  Col.,  has  bought  of 
John  D.  Creighton,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  the  brown  stallion 
Idol  Wilkes,  twenty  years  old,  sired  by  George  Wilkes,  dam 
Peck's  Idol,  second  dam  by  Gough's  Wagner.  Price,  $8,000. 
Idol  Wilkes  is  the  sire  of  that  fast  pacer  J.  H.  L.,  2:08\,  also 
of  Ed  ClarksOD,  2:20},  Willie,  2:24A,  Lady  Idol,  2:25,~Nina

R.  C.  Smith  returned  from  Salem  last  week,  where  he 
went  to  negotiate  a  lease  for  the  racing  qualities  of  Pilot  Le- 
mont,  2:21$.  Mr.  Smith  will  place  him  in  the  hands  of 
Charley  Wood,  who  drove  him  to  his  present  record.  We 
believe  he  will  be  a  good  acquisition  to  the  Witch  Hazel 
stables,  and  if  he  is  able  to  "  pilot"  the  way  in  the  2:22  class, 
he  surely  will  be  a  lucrative  one. — Rural  Spirit. 

Hon.  William  Galloway's  "Great  Brood"  mare  Holly- 
wood (mother  of  Lady  Beach,  2:26i ;  McMinnville  Maid, 
four-year-old  record  2:22,  and  Altawood  (p),  two-year-old  rec- 
ord 2:24!,  all  three  sired  by  Altamont),  now  has  a  bay  colt 
foal  by  Altamont,  says  the  Rural  Spirit.  This  is  the  only 
horse  colt  of  that  grand  mare.  News  like  this  need  no  wings 
to  carry  it,  nor  will  this  young  Yamhiller  need  any  running 
mate  to  help  him  on  the  way. 

There  could  be  no  more  satisfactory  evidence  of  the  splen- 
did progress  made  by  the  Detroit  Driving  Club  than  in  the 
fact  of  its  having  equipped  one  of  the  finest  race  tracks  in 
the  country,  and  that  it  attracts  to  its  meetings  the  finest 
horses  on  the  American  turf.  This  promises  to  be  the  star 
season  in  its  career,  a  statement  that  embodies  all  that  could 
be  said  in  the  way  of  deserved  praise. 

Alcyone  was  foaled  in  1S77,  obtained  a  record  of  2:27, 
sired  thirty-four  trotters  and  four  pacers,  etc.,  and  then  died, 
which  was  in  thespriDg  of  1887,  making  him  but  ten  years 
of  age  at  the  time  of  his  death.  What  sire  has  done  equally 
as  well  ?  His  brother,  Alcantara  2:23,  was  foaled  in  1876, 
making  him  one  year  older  and  is  still  alive  and  only  has  a 
few  more  standard  performers  than  Alcyone. 

Wednesday  last  an  unbroken  colt  by  Ivaneer  trotted  an 
eighth  in  234  seconds  led  alongside  a  horse,  whereupon  a 
wager  was  made  that  it  could  not  trot  the  same  distance  in  23 
seconds  or  better.  Three  trials  were  made  Friday  March 
16th,  the  first  in  22?  seconds,  the  second  in  22:},  and  the  third 
in  21  A.  Ivaneer  6250,  by  Electioneer,  dam  Isma,  by  George 
Benton,  is  the  property  of  Mr.  Duryea,  and  is  in  the  stud  at 
Marshall,  Mich.  

The  Nebraska  Association  of  Trotting  and  Pacing  Horse 
Breeders,  purely  a  State  institution,  will  hold  its  ninth  an- 
nual meeting  at  the  fair  grounds  course  in  Orrnha.  The  asso- 
ciation is  in  a  most  healthful  condition  and  will  leave  noth- 
ing undone  to  make  the  meeting  the  best  and  most  interesting 
it  has  ever  held.  With  this  end  in  view,  Secretary  A.  J. 
Briggs,  of  Superior,  has  called  a  meeting  of  the  directors  to 
be  held  Tuesday  evening  next. 

Mr.  Frank  McKeen,  of  Terre  Haute,  lost  by  death  last 
week  a  promising  three-year-old  filly  by  Sidney,  dam  Alaraba, 
by  Stiltnn;  second  dam  Cora,  by  Buccaneer,  third;  dam  Pearl, 
by  Blue  Bull ;  fourth  dam  Lighifoot,  by  Flaxtail;  fifth  dam, 
Fanny  Fern,  by  Irwin's  Tuckahoe.  Some  three  weeks  ago  in 
playing  in  her  stall  the  filly  fell  and  broke  the  stille  and  pel- 
vis bones.  It  was  decided  that  she  could  not  get  well  and 
she  waskillod  to  prevent  further  suffering.  Like  all  the  Sid- 
neys the  filly  was  fast  and  her  loss  is  quite  a  serious  one. 


It  is  now  almost  universally  admitted  that  the  horse  cai 
be  prepared  to  go  mile  heats  without  ever  being  driven 
single  mile  within  eight  or  ten  seconds  of  his  speed,  pre 
vided  he  has  gone  plenty  of  fast  quarters  and  an  occasion* 
slow-rating  mile  in  order  that  his  muscles  may  become  a<> 
customed  to  the  distance.  The  fact  that  horses  are  generall 
overtrained  is  made  evident  in  dozens  of  instances  every  se* 
son,  when  through  some  accident  it  becomes  necessary  t 
throw  a  trotter  out  of  training  for  a  week  or  two,  in  whic 
cass  he  generally  goes  the  best  race  of  his  life  immediatel 
after  the  enforced  vacation. — Iowa  Turf. 


A  Colorado  correspondent  to  the  Horseman  gives  us  th 
following  information :  "  A  matched  race  will  take  place  i 
Denver,  on  the  Overland  track.  May  loth,  for  $5,000  a  sidi 
between  the  two  pacers,  Cebron  and  Uncle  Jack,  of  Colorad 
Springs.  Both  horses  are  well  known  in  Colorado,  and  muc 
enthusiasm  in  sporting  circles  is  manifested  over  the  affai: 
Cebron  is  a  young  horse  that  is  now  in  the  training  stablest 
Thomas  &  Griffin,  and  the  latter  well-known  reinsman  wi 
drive  him  in  the  race.  Too  much  is  known  about  Majc 
Griffin's  driving  to  doubt  for  a  moment  that  his  antagonii 
will  outdo  him  only  if  his  horse  has  the  go  in  him.  Griffi 
has  been  on  the  retired  list  for  a  year,  but  we  understand  i 
coming  out  this  spring  with  a  fresh  string  of  very  promisiD 
horses,  and  we  are  glad  to  see  his  name  again  before  the  put 
lie.  Such  drivers  should  not  retire  from  the  turf  at  a  tim 
when  the  best  talent  is  at  such  demand." 


After  much  delay  and  hard  work  the  committee  ap- 
pointed three  weeks  ago  to  arrange  for  the  location  of  C.  W. 
Williams,  the  Independence  horseman,  in  Galesburg,  III.,  has 
completed  all  the  arrangements  anil  last  night  telegraphed 
an  acceptance  of  his  proposition.  This  means  that  Galesburg 
will  hereafter  be  one  of  the  largest  horse  centers  in  the 
country.  A  farm  of  loOacreH  has  been  purchased  just  at  the 
edge  of  the  city,  and  on  this  will  be  constructed  a  tirst-class 
mile  track.  Arrangements  will  also  be  made  for  the  holding 
of  a  big  district  fair  this  fall.  To  bring  Mr.  Williams  here 
will  cost  the  city  about  $42,000,  but  this  has  all  been  arranged 
for  by  the  sale  of  lots. — Ex. 


Hummer,  brother  in  blood  to  Advertiser,  2:15},  by  Elec 
tioneer,  dam  by  George  Wilkes,  has  three  of  the  ten  colts  h 
has  sired  in  the  2:30  list.  The  three  are  in  W.  J.  Andrewi 
stable  at  the  Buffalo  Driving  Park,  and  Andrews  believe 
they  are  the  best  youngsters  he  ever  pulled  a  rein  ovei 
Hustler,  2:20|,  he  believes  will  be  one  of  the  great  four-yeai 
olds  of  the  year.  This  colt  is  in  grand  shape  this  spring,  fu 
of  trot,  and  as  strong  as  a  lion.  Yesterday  before  the  rail 
fell  Andrews  let  Hummer  step  a  little,  and  the  big  co 
marched  a  quarter  in  0:38|.  Bouncer,  a  full  sister  to  Hun 
mer,  took  a  two-year-old  record  of  2:26.}  at  the  trot  last  yea: 
and  Mr.  Andrews  says  she  is  faster  than  the  colt.  They  at

Hummer,  out  of  Splendor  (half-sister  to  Hummer  an 
Bouncer),  by  Mambrino  Startle,  out  of  Musette,  earned  a  twt 
year-old  pacing  record  of  2:1S  last  year.  He  is  a  grandly 
made  youngster,  and,  as  has  been  said  before,  Andrews  believe 
is  the  fastest  horse  he  ever  drove.  With  these  three  younj 
sters  Andrews  wiil  have  dangerous  material  for  the  co 
stakes. — Buffalo  Enquirer.

When  Col.  John  E.  Thayer  bought  Ralph  Wilkes  as 
two-year-old  for  $30,000  he  made  a  most  profitable  investmen 
The  horse  was  shipped  to  New  England  within  a  week  of  h; 
purchase,  and  outside  of  one  exhibition  mile  as  a  three-yeai 
old  has  been  kept  dark.  He  has  earned  himself  out  in  th 
stud,  and  now  Col.  Thayer  is  to  redeem  his  promise  to  trai 
him,  if  all  right,  as  a  five  year-old.  Ralph  Wilkes  is  eligibl 
to  the  2:18  class,  and  ought  to  make  a  great  money  winne 
fur  he  showed  ability  to  beat  2:12  as  a  three-year-old,  an 
was  not  even  half-prepared  when  he  ivent  a  mile  in  2:13J 
and  even  then  William  Dalrymple  drove  him  to  orders  an? 
made  no  attempt  to  get  all  there  was  in  him.  Col.  Thaye 
will  give  the  great  son  of  Red  Wilkes  the  best  chance  an 
only  very  hard  luck  will  prevent  him  from  getting  a  ver 
low  mark.  In  the  meantime  those  who  have  Ralph  Wilke 
colts  are  happy.  It  is  not  yet  thoroughly  decided  to  whoi 
the  horse  will  go,  but  it  is  more  than  likely  he  will  stay  i 
New  England: 

How  quickly  the  name  of  either  horse  or  man  sinks  oi 
of  public  sight  and  mind  when  once  dropped  by  the  publi 
press,  and  has  been  bitter  realization  of  many  a  one  befoi 
now,  says  an  exchange,  and  the  same  will  be  the  experienc 
of  many  hereafter,  who  mislead  themselves  into  the  erront 
ous  belief  that  because  an  exemplified  merit  of  fortuitot 
circumstances  brings  a  great  horse  before  the  public  eye  ft 
a  brief  instant  once,  that  the  animal  necessarily  thereafU 
remains  permanently  a  living  reality  before  that  coquettia 
member.  Not  so;  for  there  is  nothing  so  uncertain  and  fickl 
as  the  public  memory,  and  he  who  fails  to  learn  this  in 
portant  truth  and  to  supply  a  substiute  therefore  fails 
bring  to  bear  upon  the  support  and  Improvement  of  h 
business  one  of  the  most  essential  of  all  successful  element 
No  matter  how  great  an  orator,  states  man  or  politician  a  ma 
may  be,  when  he  drops  out  of  the  newspaper  he  is  forgotte 
of  the  world.  And  the  same  is  true  of  the  trotting  hon 
world  of  the  sire.  No  amount  of  notoriety  which  he  ma 
have  attained  this  year  can  stand  in  lieu  of  judicious  adve: 
tising  of  him  next  year.  The  theory  that  a  great  horse  wi 
advertise  himself  is  false  in  general,  with  the  exception  ban 
ly  numerous  enough  to  prove  the  rule. 


The  habit  of  barring  certain  horses  from  their  class  is  a 
wrong.  The  track  managers,  however,  are  not  to  blame ;  it 
the  timidity  of  owners,  etc.,  that  is  at  the  root  of  the  evil. 
was  not  very  long  ago  when  the  California  tracks  all  barre 
Hazel  Wilkes  from  the  free-for-all,  and  when  she  came  Eat 
her  prestige  was  so  great  that  there  was  a  feeling  that  ah 
should  be  barred  from  the  2:15  class.  It  was  not  done,  ho? 
ever,  and  she  was  found  an  easy  nut  to  crack.  Rex  Americu 
Mr.  Hamlin's  four-year-old,  on  the  strength  of  a  two-year-ol 
trial  of  2:15A,  bas  been  much  touted,  and  the  opinion  of  tb 
owners  has  forced  the  majority  of  the  tracks  in  the  countr 
tobar  him  from  the  four  year-old  stakes.  Now  here  is  aco 
that  while  he  wasfast  as  a  two-year-old,  was  comparativelyn 
account  as  a  three-year-old.  He,  doubtless,  is  back  to  fori 
this  year,  but  who  knows  whether  he  will  race  or  not?  Tf 
is  the  question.  Speed  is  no  account  unless  the  possessor 
racing  qualities,  and  as  to  these  Rex,  Americushas  not  i 
shown  that  he  had  them.  Without  any  discredit  to  the 
it  is  dollars  to  doughnuts  that  he  will  have  his  measui 
taken  this  year  and  that  the  people  that  clamored  to  hav 
him  barred  did  not  accomplish  anything  great. — Terre  Haul

THE  SADDLE. 


Charley  Weber  rode  two  winners  and  a  third  out  of  four 
lOUDts  last  Saturday.       

Clancy  came  within  an  ace  of  losing  on  Key  Alfonso 
hrough  over-confidence. 

Isaac  Murphy  has  signed  to  ride  for  Byron  McClelland, 
f  Lexington,  Ky.,  this  season.  - 

The  Boots  two-year-olds  that  arrived  last  Saturday  from 
tan  Jose  are  a  splendid-looking  lot. 

A.  B.  Spreckels  is  credited  with  having  a  swell  bet  down 
in  Lucky  Dog  to  win  the  American  Derby  of  1S94. 

Johnny  Weber  left  Saturday  for  Memphis,  Tenn.,  to 
ide  for  Mr.  Corrigan.  Charley  Weber  will  remain  a  week 
onger.  

Oakland  was  conceding  a  lot  of  weight  to  every  horse  in 
he  handicap  Saturday,  and  then  was  beaten  only  half  a 
ength  by  the  winner.       

Sam  Doggett  is  back  from  New  Orleans,  and  is  now  exer- 
:ising  Sir  Walter,  G.  W.  Johnson  and  others  of  the  Oneck 
Stable  at  Morris  Park.    

The  Schrieber  string,  containing  the  famous  Wildwood, 
Harry  Lewis,  Zoolein,  BroadheaJ  and  others  of  note,  was 
hipped  to  St.  Louis  Wednesday. 

The  Spreckels  string,  in  Cy  Mulkey's  hands,  is  doing 
.plendidly.  Only  two  from  this  stable  started  yesterday  (Pi- 
rnante  and  Border  Lassie),  and  both  won. 

Motto  will  be  a  hard  one  tu  beat  from  this  out  at  the 
horter  distances.  Her  win  on  Saturday  last  in  1:01  J  was  a 
:lever  one,  and  easier  than  it  looked  to  most  persons. 

Templemore  ran  Red  Cloud  almost  to  a  standstill  last 
jatuiday.  The  Kentucky  Stable  jumper  has  won  his  last 
hree  races,  and  is  well  nigh  invincible  at  hurdle- racing. 

Claudie  is  as  good  a  two-year-old  as  has  been  developed 
lere  thus  far  this  season.  She  runs  as  a  race  horse  should — 
es  at  the  finish  and  mows  everything  down  in  front 
>f  her. 

The  local  race  meeting  will  be  continued  to  August  1st, 
i?hen  the  County  Fair  season  begins.  There  will  be  strings 
eaving  for  the  East,  of  course,  but  there  will  be  additions 
rom  the  interior  and  Oregon  beyond  doubt. 


De  Bracey  is  what  Frank  Van  Ness  claimed  he  would 
,urn  out  to  be — a  stake  colt.  A  field  of  good  ones  finished 
jehind  him  last  Saturday,  and  he  was  conceding  six  pounds 
x>  the  winner,  Catch  'Em,  who  got  off  in  the  lead,  De  Bracey 
lixth.  

A  letter  from  Byron  McClelland  to  a  friend  in  this  city 
lays  that  he  has  commenced  training  his  three-year-old  Henry 
>f  Navarre  at  Nashville,  but  that,  in  view  of  his  important 
sogagements,  he  will  go  slow  with  him.  The  colt  will  not  be 
t  starter  for  the  Brooklpn  Handicap. 

John  Robbins  (the  "Bone  Doctor")  has  purchased  of 
Charles  Kerr,  the  Bakersfield  turfman,  the  two-year-old 
ihestnut  filly  by  imp.  Mariner,  dam  Rosa  Bella,  by  King  Al- 
fonso; second  dam  Miranda,  by  Lexington,  etc.  Duke  of 
Magenta,  the  famous  racehorse,  traces  to  the  same  sourse  on 
the  dam's  side.  

Last  week  the  Avondale  Stable  sold  to  the  Charter  Oak 
Stable  the  three  year-old  bay  filly  Marcel,  by  Luke  Black- 
ourn,  dam  Manica.  The  price  reported  was  $1,000.  Mar- 
cel has  performed  very  creditably  at  the  New  Orleans  meet- 
ing, winning  five  races  out  of  six  starts. 

Ballet,  by  Planet,  the  noted  broodmare,  owned  by  Mr. 
George  H.  Clay,  proprietor  of  the  Balgowan  Stud,  near  Lex- 
ington, foaled,  on  last  Tuesday,  a  chestnut  filly  by  Onondaga, 
Ballet  is  now  twenty-three  years  old  and  has  produced  such 
jood  ones  as  Modesty,  Elizabeth  L.,  Busteed,  etc. 

The  yearling  full  brother  to  Topgallant  owned  by  Matt 
5torn  is  even  handsomer  than  Topgallant,  which  is  saying  a

Jockey  Sam  Doggett  gave  a  friend  to  understand  yester- 
lay  that  G.  W.  Johnson,  the  $3*1,000  cripple,  might  repay 
.he  whole  or  a  part  of  his  purchase  money  this  year.  The 
>rother  to  Huron  is  taking  his  gallops  daily  at  Jerome  Park, 
ind  as  Doggett  is  riding  him  in  his  work,  his  statement  bears 
he  weight  of  authority. — N.  Y.  Sporting  World. 

Imported  Verger,  foaled  1881,  by  Cathedral,  dam  Marie 
Louise,  by  Gunboat,  has  been  sold  by  owner  F.  C.  O'Reilly  of 
,he  Oakwood  Stud,  Orange,  N.  J.,  to  Canadian  parties.  Ver- 
ier, with  little  chance  at  the  stud,  has  had  only  twelve  foals 
rom  thoroughbred  mares.  Seven  of  these  have  been  brack- 
sted  as  winners.     In  England  he  was  a  good  race  horse. 

Billy  Mcery,  of  the  Lone  Stable,  has  a  ''phenom"  in 
lis  stable  for  which  it  is  understood  he  recently  refused 
5-5,000  spot  cash.  The  "wocder"  is  a  two-year-old  filly  by 
mp.  Friar  Tuck,  dam  Jessie  C  ,  by  Bishop  ;  second  dam  Jen- 
lie  C.  (dam  of  Mark  L),  by  Norfolk,  etc.  This  filly  has 
worked  quarters  in  0:22^-  a  few  times,  and  it  is  said  half  a 
nile  in  0:48  would  be  play  for  her. 

Wm.  M.  Ayres,  of  Portland,  Oregon,  the  well-known 
oool-seller,  has  secured  the  entire  pool-selling  privileges  of 
•he  Oiegon,  Washington  and  Montana  circuits.  In  selecting 
tfr.  Ayres  the  associations,  as  well  as  the  followers  of  the 
■aces,  are  to  be  congratulated, for  no  greater  favorite  nor  more 
apable  pool  seller  ever  appeared  at  a  race  meeting.  His  em- 
jloyees  are  carefully  selected,  and  no  complaints  are  heard 
ibout  the  manner  in  which  they  perform  theirduties. 


Dr,  C.  Masoero,  the  celebrated  veterinarian, will  be  known 
throughout  the  length  and  breadth  of  the  land  for  the  many 
remarkable  cures  of  broken-down  racehorses  he  has  effected 
since  the  meeting  at  the  Bay  District  track  commenced.  The 
Eastern  horse-owners  are  as  loud  in  their  praises  as  the  many 
horsemen  on  this  Coast  who  have  had  occasion  to  call  on  him 
for  their  sick  and  disabled  horses. 


President  Walbatjm  of  the  Hudson  County  Jockey 
3ub  savs  that  the  public  knows  more  about  his  business  than 
le  does  himselt.  He  is  credited  nowadays  about  once  a  week 
vith  building  a  new  race  track  in  some  place  or  other.  First 
t  is  St.  Augustine,  then  Saratoga,  Kansas  City,  Chicago  and 
3an  Francisco  in  rapid  succession.  By  the  time  he  gets

The  stallion  Buckwa,  by  Buckden,  that  died  the  other  day  I 
on  Thomas  Stevens'  place,  near  Lexington,   Ky.,  was  a  half-  I 
brother  to  the  well-known  old  gelding  Hello,  being  out  of  : 
Marshra,  by  Planet.    The  mare  waj  bred  to  the  trotters  Clay, 
Electioneer  and  Piedmont  in  1NS5,  1887  and  1888.     Buckwa 
was  a  successful  sire  valued  at  $6,000.    Bruce  has  Hello  dead 
in  18S7,  but  the  gelding  won  a  number  of  races  last  season. 

J.  V.  Shipp,  of  Midway,  Ky.,  reports  five  foals  by  Riley, 
the  first  crop  sired  by  Longfellow's  son.  They  are  as  follows  : 
Bay  colt,  out  of  Connie  B-,  by  Ten  Broeck  ;  chestnut  colt,  out 
of  Hattie  Harris,  by  Marmaduke ;  chestnut  filly,  out  of  Sis- 
terly, by  War  Dance  ;  bay  filly,  out  of  Square  Dance,  by  War

Thomas  Maguire,  the  veteran  Californian,  who  is  as  well 
known  in  turf  circles  as  among  members  of  the  profession, 
thinks  that  Banquet  is  the  best  handicapped  horse  in  the 
Brooklyn  Handicap.  He  says  that,  while  the  Dwyers  have 
never  won  this  race,  they  have  a  good  chance  this  year.  And, 
while  the  plungers  are  all  crying  Leonawelland  Don  Alonzo, 
he,  for  one,  likes  the  brother  to  Tea  Tray.  Mr,  Maguire  is 
to  have  a  benefit  sooo,  which,  in  common  with  his  hundreds 
of  other  friends,  I  hope  will  be  a  bumper. — New  York  Sport-

The  Wyandotte  Jockey  Club  have  leased  the  Kansas  City 
track,  and  will  give  a  thirty  days'  meeting  there,  commencing 
March  31.  This  jockey  club  is  composed  of  Eastern  turfmen, 
J.  W.  Croker,  a  capitalist  and  stock-broker,  of  New  Y'ork, 
being  the  president.  The  membership  of  the  club  is  said  to 
include  the  "  Duke  of  Gloucester,'1  whose  field  of  operations 
is  at  present  sadly  curtailed  in  New  Jersey.  E.  E.  Levia,  the 
Kansas  City  menager  of  the  track,  is  authority  for  the  state- 
ment that  if  the  meeting  is  successful  it  will  be  continued  in 
definitely.  Five  races  for  purses  of  $300  and  $200  will  be 
given  each  day,  and  if  events  warrant  these  sums  will  be  in- 
creased. 

Arthur  G.  Preston  McNalty,  a  very  bright-looking, 
handsome  young  Englishman,  paid  us  a  visit  the  other  day. 
He  is  here  to  take  control  of  the  5,000-acre  Langtry  ranch 
in  Lake  county,  which  has  been  allowed  to  go  to  rack  and 
ruin  lately.  He  supplants  C.  W.  Aby  as  manager,  and  has 
no  doubt  the  place  can  be  made  more  than  self-sustaining 
within  a  short  time.  Imp.  Friar  Tuck,  sire  of  Quarterstatf, 
Phcebe  Ann,  etc.,  and  brother  to  imp.  Flirt,  dam  of  Gorgo 
and  Flambep.u,  is  the  premier  stallion  on  the  farm,  and  is  in 
excellent  shape,  Mr.  McNalty  says.  The  new  manager  thinks 
will  take  a  goodly  sum  to  put  the  place  in  proper  con- 
dition, fences  having  fallen  down  and  the  houses  being  in  a 
fearfully  dilapidated  state. 

The  race  meetings  in  Montana  will  be  great  successes  this 
season  if  managed  properly.  That  is,  they  can  get  a  large 
number  of  horses  to  go  from  this  State  and  Oregon  if  compe- 
tent paid  officials  are  secured.  If  these  men  are  not  engaged 
and  the  announcement  made  at  an  early  date  not  maoy  of 
our  horsemen  will  care  to  make  tbe  trip.  The  great  fault 
found  in  the  past  has  been  with  the  starting  and  judging, 
amateurs  generally  holding  these  responsible  positions.  For  a 
starter  no  better  selection  could  be  made  than  H.  D.  Brown, 
who  is  eminently  fitted  in  every  way  for  the  place.  He  is  a 
Montana  man,  and  knows  the  horses  and  horsemen  thor- 
oughly. As  a  flagman  we  never  knew  a  man  to  make  such  an 
instantaneous  success  as  Mr.  Brown.  It  requires  a  certain 
sort  of  genius  to  make  a  good  starter,  and  Brown  was  voted  a 
phenomenon  in  this  line  of  business  from  the  first.  All  over 
the  leading  circuit  of  California  and  Nevada,  in  Oakland  and 
at  the  Schwartz  meeting  in  this  city,  his  work  gave  the  great- 
est satisfaction  to  public  and  horsemen  alike.  Therefore,  the 
Montana  racing  magnates  need  look  no  further  for  a  starter. 
For  a  presiding  judge  they  will  have  to  do  a  deal  of  search- 
ing to  get  a  man  with  a  thorough  knowledge  of  the  rules  and 
the  firmness  toeoforce  them.  That  such  a  man  can  be  found, 
though,  is  probable.  The  day  of  the  amateur  starter  and 
presiding  judge  is  past,  and  racing  associations  are  coming  to 
realize  this.  The  interests  involved  are  too  large  to  trust  de- 
cisions on  thousands  of  dollars  to  novices — Majors,  Colonels, 
Doctors  and  popular  local  lights,  who  are  only  asked  to  offi- 
ciate as  judges  once  every  year  or  two,  and  whose  lime  is 
fully  taken  up  between  the  dates  mentioned  in  other  lines  of 
business.  

Lamplighter  was  punch-fired  on  Monday,  March  4th,  at 
Clifton.  It  has  been  freely  reported  that  be  was  was  blistered, 
but  my  information  is  from  a  source  I  have  every  reason  to 
believe.  Firing  was  probably  substituted  for  blistering,  on 
the  ground  that  if  blistered  the  horse  would  lose  time  betore 
he  could  be  put  into  active  work.  It  is  a  heroic  remedy,  but 
a  horse  which  has  been  blistered  requires  a  rest,  which  can 
seldom  be  given  in  these  hustling  days.  As  I  am  informed  it 
was  originally  determined  to  blister  Lamplighter,  and  the 
story  got  abroad,  but  at  the  last  moment  firing  was  agreed 
upon.  The  fact  that  Lamplighter  has  been  fired  would  indi- 
cate that  the  brown  horfe  will  be  prepared  for  the  Brooklyn 
handicap.  For  some  time  past  there  has  been  a  doubt  ex- 
pressed that  he  would  be  a  starter,  and  when  he  was  an- 
nounced as  having  been  blistered  a  great  many  said  that  set- 
lied  it,  while  not  a  few  said  they  doubted  if  he  would  stand 
training  at  all.  When  he  retired  last  fail  fall  he  was  any- 
thing but  a  well  horse.  He  had  a  splint  all  the  autumn,  and 
it  had  troubled  him  not  a  little.  It  is  the  belief  of  a  great 
many  racing  men  that  Lamplighter  will  not  win  the  Brook- 
lyn handicap,  and  not  a  few  doubt  if  be  will  start  for  tbe  race. 
They  urge,  with  reason,  that  he  cannot  be  put  into  work  in  a 
hurry.  The  race  is  less  than  two  months  off,  and  as  the 
horse  is  not  en  easy  one  to  train,  it  is  feared  he  may  not  be 
ready  by  the  time  it  comes  round.  It  is  no  secret  that  Wal- 
baum,  his  owner,  was  reluctant  to  send  him  on  that  ill-fated 
trip  to  Chicago  last  October.  He  tried  to  get  out  of_  it,  but 
Corrigan  was  anxious  in  the  matter,and  rather  than  disoblige 
him  tbe  horse  was  senl  on.  He  has  never  acted  like  the  same 
horse,  and  starts  and  breaks  into  a  sweat  at  the  sight  of  many 
people.  He  has  long  been  a  night-walker,  and  now  he  is 
more  nervous  than  ever. — "Capt.  Absolute"  in  The  Horse- 


Training  operations  are  being  pushed  rapidly  forward  at 
Lexington,  where  there  are  now  about  300  horses.  Byron 
McClelland,  whose  lot  includes  Henry  of  Navarre,  Will 
Fonso,  Qneenlibe  II.  and  Fondolin,  has  probably  the  strong- 
est stable  at  the  track.  One  of  McClelland's  best  youngsters 
is  Halma,  by  Hanover.  Isaac  Murphy  will  pilot  Henry  of 
Navarre  in  his  early  Spring  races.  Major  Thomas'  two-year- 
old  filly  Alabama,  by  Himyar,  out  of  Bandala,  is  another 
youngster  that  is  ranch  talked  of.  She  has  already  shown 
some  good  trials. 

The  experiment  which  will  he  tried  at  Palo  Alto  Farm  in 
breeding  all  the  daughters  of  Electioneer  that  are  in  the  stud 
at  that  establishment  to  the  stallion  Dexter  Prince  will  be 
watched  with  interest  by  the  students  of  the  breeding  prob- 
lem. It  is  said  that  the  late  Senator  Stanford  used  to  breed 
his  mares  to  stallions  whose  conformation  he  regarded  as 
most  suitable  for  them,  but  in  this  wholesale  booking  of  all 
the  Electioneer  mares  at  Palo  Alto  to  Dextp.r  Prince  the 
question  of  suitability  of  conformation  will  necessarily  have 
to  be  left  out. — Turf  Field  and  Farm.  [Superintendent  Co- 
vey is  noted  for  his  good  judgment  of  form  as  well  as  breed- 
ing, and  will  continue  tbe  same  plans  set  by  tbe  late  Sena- 
tor Stanford. — Ed.] 

The  only  thoroughbred  imported  Arabian  stallion  now  un- 
der training  for  the  running  track,  is  to  be  seen  at  Roby. 
This  is  the  celebrated  stallion  Kehalan,  and  he  is  the  joint 
property  of  Jimmy  Tompkins  and  L.  Con,  formerly  the  Oak- 
dale  stable.  He  was  bought  from  the  Bedouins  that  were  at 
the  World's  Fair  and  is  a  very  handsome  animal,  being  about 
fifteen  hands  high  and  of  agrayish  color,  with  beautiful  mane 
and  tail.  When  first  purchased  by  the  preseos  owners  the 
horse  had  never  been  shod.  He  has  a  very  kind  disposition, 
and  appears  to  be  intelligent  above  tbe  average.  In  break- 
ing away  the  animal  starts  very  quickly,  and,  while  the  train- 
ing is  an  experiment,  it  Is  believed  tnat  it  will  also  prove  a 
success.  While  he  has  never  been  timed  it  is  said  that  he  is 
speedy,  and  will  show  game  qualities  when  pushed  for  the 
wire. 

Chicago  detectives  on  March  14  discovered  the  most 
elaborate  wire  tapping  plant  ever  seen  in  this  country  near 
the  Roby  race  track.  It  was  located  in  an  unused  hotel, 
three-quarters  of  a  mile  from  tbe  track.  Five  men  were  in 
in  the  place  when  the  raid  was  made,  but  all  escaped.  Two 
men,  however,  were  recognized,  as  Jim  Turner  and  a  sporting 
character  named  Hill.  Fifteen  hundred  dollars  worth  of  tele- 
graph instruments,  including  duplex  and  quadruplex  sets, 
and  160  sets  of  battery  were  found.  The  establishment  was 
well  furnished  with  beds,  bedding,  cooking  utensils,  etc.  Tbe 
deteclives  found  copies  of  every  dispatch  that  had  passed 
over  the  wires  between  Chicago  and  Roby  for  the  past  five 
days.  Letters  were  also  fouud  showing  that  men  in  all  parls 
of  the  country  were  implicated  in  the  scheme.  The  plan  was 
apparently  to  delay  the  results  of  Roby  races  until  money 
had  been  placed  in  the  pool-rooms  of  the  city. 

Last  Tuesday's  Chronicle  printed  a  map  of  the  new  race 
track  site,  which,  it  appears,  is  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile  west 
ol  the  original  place.  It  is  in  a  valley  between  Arlington  ave- 
nue and  the  Spring  Valley  Water  Company's  property,  the 
Ocean  House  road  and  tbe  City  Land  Association  tract.  Lake 
Merced  is  not  far  distant.  Both  sites  are  now  owned  by  the 
new  racing  syndicate,  but  tbe  last  selection  is  not  in  the  city, 
and  is  not  even  near  any  projected  street,  consequently  can- 
not be  disturbed  by  the  city  fathers.  The  Southern  Pacific 
railroad  and  San  Matec  Electric  road  run  to  the  east  of  the 
recently  selected  site,  and  are  not  over  half  a  mile  distant 
now.  The  Ocean  House  road  is  close  at  hand. 
What  will  be  done  with  the  site  first  selected 
is  bothering  a  number  of  people  who  have  purchased 
land  in  the  neighborhood  in  expectation  of  a  great  boom.  All 
arrangements  for  surveying,  grading  and  building  have  been 
perfected,  and  Ed.  Corrigan,  the  chief  promoter,  left  last 
night  for  the  East.  Matters  will  not  be  allowed  to  lag,  as  it 
is  understood  M.  M.  O'Shaughnessy  has  orders  to  go  ahead 
with  the  work  of  surveying  on  both  sites.  The  club-house 
will  be  built  on  the  most  modern  plan,  and  will  be  200  feet 
long  by  100  feet  wide.  There  will  be  stable  .room  for  1,000 
horses.  The  first  work  done  will  be  the  removal  of  several 
vegetable  gardens  now  on  the  second  site.  The  Chronicle  says 
the  track  will  be  seventy  feet  wide.  One  hundred  will  be 
nearer  the  mark,or  should  be.  It  is  expected  the  new  course 
and  appointments  will  be  the   equal  of  anything   in   this 

country.  

The  death  of  ex-Secretary  James  McGowan,  of  the  Brigh- 
tan  Beach  Racing  Association,  whose  illness  was  noted  in 
last  week's  Spirit,  occurred  at  his  home,  23  Prospect  Place, 
Brookyn,  Thurtday  morning,  March  Sth.  Funeral  services 
were  held  Saturday  evening  at  the  residence.  Interment  was 
in  Cypress  Hill  Cemetery.  Mr.  McGowan  had  not  enjoyed 
good  health  since  his  retirement  from  the  secretaryship  at 
Brighton  a  few  years  since.  Over  a  year  ago  he  had  a  para- 
lytic stroke,  which  laid  him  up  for  a  time.  He  only  partially 
recovered,  his  throat  and  tongue  being  so  badly  effected  that 
his  articulation  was  scarcely  intelligible.  He  kept  about, 
however,  until  the  close  of  the  Morris  Park  meeting  in 
Autumn,  when  he  was  confined  to  his  home.  Some  six  weeks 
ago  he  grew  so  ill  that  he  was  obliged  to  take  to  his  bed.  Mr. 
McGowan  had  a  varied  career.  As  a  young  man  he  was  em- 
ployed with  the  late  John  Hcey  on  the  Herald,  which  was 
the  beginning  of  a  friendship  that  continued  through  life. 
He  was  a  membar  of  the  old  fire  department  and  a  member 
of  the  Americus  Club  when  that  organization  was  a  control- 
ling power  in  New  York  politico  Mr.  McGowan  first  be- 
came actively  interested  in  racing  when  John  Morrissey 
started  tbe  Saratoga  race  'rack,  he  and  Mr.  Underbill  having 
the  auction  pool  privileges  In  1880,  the  year  after  the 
opening  of  the  Brighton  Beach  race  track,  Mr.  W.  A.  Enge- 
man  secured  Mr.  McGowan's  services  as  Secretary.  Coder 
his  active  and  intelligent  management  Brighton  speedily 
emerged  from  the  discouragements  of  the  first  year  and  at 
once  became  an  assured  success.  He  was  instrumental  in 
bringing  about  the  famous  sweepstakes  in  which  Miss  Wood- 
ford and  Freeland  met,  and  which  attracted  the  largest  crowd 
ever  seen  at  the  track.  He  served  as  Secretary  at  Brighton 
for  eleven  years,  when  failing  health  compelled  him  to  re- 
sign. Mr.  McGowan  was  not  only  widely  and  favorably 
known  to  racing  men,  but  through  his  association  with  John 
Morrissey  and  other  politicians  of  the  period  he  bad  a  large 
circle  of  friends  among  prominent  men  about  town,  and  es- 
pecially among  actors.  He  had  a  personal  acquaintance  with 
Edwin  Forrest,  the  elder  3nd  younger  Wallack,  John  Mc- 
Cullough,  Edwin  Booth  and  Lawrence  Barrett.  He  was  a 
member  of  the  Elks  and  a  Mason  of  high  standing.  He  was 
seventy  years  old. — N.  Y.  Spirit  of  the  Times.

.\i:\  i  Monday,  April  2d,  entries  to  the  ten  day's 
meetiugof  the  Cumberland  Park  meeting,  which  takes 
place  '  October  1  Btb,  will  ctose,  therefore  all  horse- 
men intending  to  go  East  should  fill  out  entry  blanks 
and  forward  them  al  once.  The  Nashville  track  is 
acknowledged  to  be  the  faste.-t  and  best  in  the  United 
Lnd  nearly  all  the  world's  records  were  made  over 
it  1  pone  who  take-  a  Hiring  a  horse**  East  should 
make  an  .tngeinents  to  be  at  Cumberland  Park  with 
their  horses.     See  advertisement. 


As  the  time  is  rapidly  approaching  when  the  associa- 

\  tions  on   the    Pacific  Coast  must  be  looking  around  for 

material  in  the  way  of  good  horses  to  make  good  racing 

j  when  the   secretaries   and  the  committees  are   laboring 

i  night  and  day  to  formulate  plans  by  which  horse  owners 

may   be   satisfied   with  the   programmes   they   present* 

would  it  not  be  a  good  idea  for  a  little  consideration  to  be 

given  to  the  selection  of  judges  who  will  carefully  study 

the  constitution   and   laws  and   be  prepared   to  enforce 

[  these  laws,  when  the  time  comes,  without  fear  or  favor? 

:  Tedious   scoring   by    scheming  drivers,  fraudulent  drives 

aud  rank  decisions  can  all  be  attributed   to  blindness,  ig- 

'■  norance  and  a  lack  of   firmness   on   the  part   of  judges 

We  have  progressed  very  rapidly  toward  training  and 

developing  the  2:04  trotter.    We  have  made  rapid  strides 

i  in   the  improvement   of  bicycles   and   the   methods  of 

training  during  the  past  five   years,  but  the  living  con- 

!  tents  of  the  little  square  stands  are  as  far,  if  not  further, 

i  behind  the  times  now  than  they  were   then.     Are    there 

I  any  reforms   to  be  ever  made  ?     Are   the    trotting   and 

pacing  races  to  become   more   obnoxious  every  year  by 

reason  of  the  ignorance  displayed   in   the  judges' stand, 

and    the  consequent  relusal  of  the  public  to  attend  races 

on  that  account  ? 

At  several  places  on  the  circuit  during  the  years  1S92 
and  1S93  we  noticed  tricky  drivers  scoring  the  amateur 
knights  of  the  sulky  for  hours,  and  the  judges,  instead  of 
fining  the  offending  ones  in  suras  large  enough  to  make 
them  afraid  of  repeating  the  act,  allowed  them  to 
do  so  until  the  disgusted  public  felt  compelled  to  yell : 
"  Let  'era  go  ! "'  This  is  not  a  fictitious  statement.  It 
is  a  fact  that  left  an  impression  upon  the  minds  of  the 
spectators  which  time  will  never  efface.  Are  we  to  have 
a  repetition  of  these  scenes  this  year?  We  earnestly 
hope,  for  the  sake  of  the  great  industry,  that  we  will  not_ 
The  Western  Horseman,  in  its  last  issue,  published  the 
following  pertinent  frets  upon  this  subject : 

"Amateur  drivers  are  often  treated  eontemptously,  but  the  amateur 
judge,  especially  it  he  be  a  '  promioeut  citizen,"  is  considered  asjust 
the  thing— and  after  all  he  is  nothing  more  tbau  a  thing,  sure  enough. 
As  a  rule,  there  can  be  no  doubting  the  fact  that  the  trotting  tnrf 
regards  itself  just  a  littleabove  the  running  torf  in  general  respect* 
ability,  but  as  a  matter  of  fact  the  trottiag  turf  encourages  methods 
and  practices  that  are  not  eveu  tolerated  by  the  running  turf.  The 
running  turf  recognized  years  and  years  ago  that  competency,  execu- 
tive ability  and  honesty  were  absolutely  necessary  qualities  in  the 
personal  of  thejudges'  stand,  and  that  these  qualities  could  only  be 
had  in  exchange  for  competent  remuneration,  and  hence  all  running 
meetings,  either  large  or  small,  are  presided  over  and  conducted  by 
paid  judges'  stand  talent.  In  other  words  the  running  turf  long 
since  learned  that  it  was  much,  more  profitable  to  have  '  prominent 
citizens'  iu  the  spectators'  stand  than  the  judges'  staud,  and  that  the 
safest  way  to  keep  them  in  the  former  place  was  to  keep  them  out  of 
the  latter.  It  was  learned  that  in  reality  salaried  officials  in  the 
judges'  stand,  when  competent  and  honest,  were  practically  much 
cheaper  on  good  pay  then  were  '  pick  ups'  at  no  pay  at  all.  It  does 
seem  that  the  trotting  turf  has  been  long  enough  in  existence  to  have 
learned  this  lesson,  but  if  so,  no  heed  is  paid  to  the  lesson.  There  is 
nothing  connected  with  harness  racing  that  so  thoroughly  disgusts 
the  average  turf  goer  as  incompetent,  dishonest  or  bunglesome 
methods  io  the  judges' stand,  and  no  reform  is  so  loudly  and  so  per- 
sistently demanded  as  a  reform  in  judges'  stand  methods,  and  no  re- 
form will  repay  the  trotting  turf  more  handsomely.  Yet  great  dis- 
cretion is  necessary  in  the  selection  of  even  a  starting  judge,  and  in 
a  greater  degree  would  this  be  so  in  selecting  other  prolessional 
judges.  A  man  of  any  known  "  easy  virtues  "  or  lack  of  moral 
courage  or  the  strictest  integrity  is  not  fit  for  a  starting  judge,  and 
much  less  for  a  presiding  judge,  and  in  selecting  the  latter  the  moral 
stability  of  the  selection  is  as  essential  as  expert  knowledge.  Such 
meu  can  be  found  and  certainly  the  dignity  of  the  trotting  turf 
justifies  their  engagement." 

The  judges'  stand,  as  we  have  above  shown,  should  be 
filled  with  competent  men,  so  that  good  work  may  be  ac- 
complished. While  writing  of  good  work,  in  order  to 
give  the  public  their  money's  worth,  there  are  other  very 
important  actors  on  the  scene  who  also  deserve  to  un- 
derstand their  business,  and  they  are  the  drivers. 

As  a  class,  they  try  to  do  their  best,  but  there  are  some 
who  are  inclined  to  think  "a  little  jobbery  does  no  harm." 
Then  there  are  others  who  bring  their  trotters  and  pacers 
half  trained  to  the  course  and  expect  to  educate  them  in 
the  races.  To  the  former  class  (those  who  are  known  to 
he  a  little  inclined  to  juggle  with  nefarious  schemes),  we 
have  only  this  to  say,  we  hope  the  judges  will  have 
no  hesitancy  iu  administering  the  severest  penalties  uu 
der  the  law,  and  if  they  have  any  ground  for  suspicion 
of  crookedness  a  strict  investigation  should  at  once  be 
held. 

If  it  should  come  to  the  judges'  ears  that  there  are  six 
horses  to  trot  or  pace  in  a  race,  aud  one  of  these  is  thought 
to  be  faster  than  the  rest  by  the  owners  of  the  other 
live,  and  l  hey  declare  that  the  lucky  winner  MUST  di- 
vide the  purse  or  they  will  not  start,  the  judges  should 
at  once  order  the  fast  horse  to  walk  over  for  the  purse 
and  suspend  the  other  five.  Such  a  law  was  euforced  at 
Michigan  last  year  at  one  of  the  meetings,  and  it  put  a 
stop  to  such  combination  schemes. 

In  regard  to  the  drivers  who,  through  a  desire  to 
"spring  a  surprise"  or  "make  a  killing"  by  quietly  train- 


ing a  fast  colt  alone,  going  his  fast  quarters  against 
silent  ticking  of  a  watch,  we  wish  to  state  that  it  is  a* 
bad  practice.  If  they  want  to  know  why  it  isai 
practice,  all  they  have  to  do  is  to  watch  the  tr 
ers  at  Pleasanton  working  their  horses.  When  Stan 
Kelly  had  their  horses  ready  for  the  races  a  bunc 
firecrackers  or  a  Chinese  funeral  procession  would 
scare  one  ^of  their  horses  out  of  its  stride.  They 
educated  to  trot  in  company  (not  quiet,  deaf  and  dt 
company,  but  noisy  and  exciting,  in  the  fullest  meai 
of  the  term). 

The  horse  driven  by  the   amateur   against   the  w* 
may  have  the  speed  of  Directum,  but  if  he   is  afrai« 
the  rattling   of  sulkies,  the    cracking   of  whips  and 
clucking   of  drivers   coming   down  the   homestretcl 
is  unfitted  for  racing. 

The  very  first  lesson,  "  teaching  horses  to  score," 
sealed  book  to  many  drivers,  if  we  are  to  judge  by 
exhibitions  we  have  had  during  the  past  three  years 
the  turf  in  California.  There  is  no  excuse  for  such  w 
and  if  an  owner  employs  a  driver  who  cannot  teach 
horse  to  score,  he  should  have  no  hesitancy  in  letting 
knight  of  the  whip  know  that  he  does  not  undersl 
his  business.  Some  horses  have  been  whipped  so  1 
they  will  not  turn  toward  the  wire ;  others  are  tan 
turn  their  sulkies  as  if  they  were  on  a  pivot  and 
toward  the  wire  as  if  th^y  never  knew  the  use 
the  bit.  Still  another  class  of  horses  have  been  tai 
to  buck,  jump  and  swerve  until  the  rest  of  the  ho 
and  their  drivers  run  the  risk  of  being  killed,  if  1 
happen  to  be  in  proximity  to  the  "  high  stepper.' 

These  are   the   objectional    features  which,    comb 
with  rank   decisions,  have   done   more   to   keep  pe 
from  attending  races  than  all  other  causes  combined, 
the  sooner  horsemen   understand   the   reason  why 
people  do  not  attend  the  trotting  and   pacing   races, 
quicker  will    the    remedy    be   applied.     Let    us 
brains  in  the  stand  and  in  the  sulky,  as  well   as  in 
shafts.

Chicago's  New    Trotting  Track. 

The  growth  of  the  interest  in  trotting  races  in 
East  is  on  the  increase  while  the  interest  in  run 
races  has  declined.  The  authorities  have  prohibited 
issuing  of  licenses  to  race  track  managers  of  the  la 
andth^se  gentlemen  have  looked  to  other  portions  0J 
United  States,  and  especially  to  California.  In  all  lea 
city  in  the  East,  since  the  trotting  horses  have  bee 
cheaper  aud  are  now  owned  by  hundreds  where 
years  ago  only  a  few  could  afford  to  have  ;hem,  steps 
being  taken  to  organize  trotting  associations  and  b 
tracks  over  which  great  race  meetings  shall  be  held, 
price  of  trotters  will  increase  because  the  purses  ofl 
in  1S94  are  nearly  double  what  they  were  in  1892 
1893.  The  industry  is  yet  in  its  infancy  and  no 
who  owns  good  horses  need  feel  discouraged  at  the  j 
pects.  The  horse-loving  people  in  the  Ud 
States  have  been  taught  some  excellent  lessons  s 
the  introduction  of  the  "  bike  sulky,"  and  they 
profit  by  them.  Individuality,  with  speed,  iuubI 
hand  in  hand  with  pedigree;  they  are  inseparable, 
determination  on  the  part  of  horsemen  to  foster  the  t 
ting  horse  industry  is  commendable,  for  new  market: 
opening  in  all  parts  of  the  world  for  the  American 
ter,  and  to  develop  these  "ideals  of  equine  form,"  e 
week  we  read  of  tracts  of  land  adjacent  to  1: 
cities  being  set  aside  for  the  building  of  race  tracks, 
daily  papers  of  this  city  contained  the  following  disp 
yesterday  confirming  this  statement: 

Chicago  is  to  have  a  new  trotting  race  track,  the  fastest  i 
world.  In  point  of  financial  backing,  natural  advantages  of  I 
and  management,  the  promoters  claim  that  it  will  be  the  Md 
turfmen.  Already  the  originators  of  the  scheme  claim  to 
enlisted  the  interest  of  a  California  who  is  alleged  to  be  the  owi 
several  stock  farms  iu  the  West,  and  of  some  of  the  best-It 
horsemen  in  the  country.  A  meeting  of  those  interested  will  U 
in  Chicago  within  ten  days,  when,  it  is  expected,  the  or^anbt 
will  be  perfected. 

The  plans  contemplate  the  creation  of  a  race  track  at  Ba: 
thirty  miles  northwest  of  Chicago,  ou  the  Northwestern  Railroa 
this  end  l'to  acres  ot  meadow  land  have  been  purchased  at 
$12,500  by  a  real  estate  agenfbf  this  city,  who  represents  the  hoi 
Interested  in  the  enterprise  and  who  is  authority  for  the  story, 
plan  further  provides  for  the  expenditure  ot  $150,000  in  th> 
tion  of  a  track,  club  house,  grand  staud  and  stables. 

It  is  expected  that  this  scheme  will  be  carried  out  by  the  in< 
tion  of  an  association  with  a  capital  stock  of  $250,000.    The  ori| 
tors  of  the  idea  are  Hawloy  Brothers,  of  Barriiigtou.    With  tbl 
the  earlier  stages  of  the  euterprise  was  associated  W.  A.  Thi 
Crystal  Lake.    To  show   the  impetus  which  the  project  has 
gained,  the  real  estate  man  states  that  $40,000  of  the  proposed 
has  already  been  applied  for  by  representative  turfmen  of 
Si.   l'itiii,  San  Francisco  aad  Wisconsin.    It  is  also  stated  I

Going !  G-oing  ! !    Gone  ! ! ! 

Every  one  attending  an  auction  sale  has  noticed  a 
shadow  of  disappointment  flitting  across  the  brows  of 
some  of  the  people  who  have  not  taken  advantage  of  the 
opportunity  of  purchasing  in  time  and  allowed  the  very 
things  they  needed  to  slip  through  their  grasp.  In 
looting  over  our  columns,  the  warning,  "  last  day  to 
make  entries,"  sometimes  goes  unheeded,  and  the  old 
thought  comes  like  a  grim  spectre  of  the  past  before 
horse  owners  of  "  Going  !    Going  ! !  Gone  !  !  ! 

Nest  Monday  entries  to  the  Great  Blue  Ribbon  meet- 
ing  of  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association  will  close. 
"Woodland's  advertisement,  as  well  as  that  of  the  P.  C.  T. 
H.  B.  Association  brought  a  splendid  list  of  entries  to 
gladden  the  eyes  of  the  directors  of  these  associations 
and,  although  many  horse  owners  now  regret  that  the 
Going!  Going  ! !  Gone  !  I !  notices  were  unheeded,  and  their 
desire  to  have  entries  in  these  meetings  were  not  fulfilled 
because  of  neglect,  there  is  still  an  opportunity  for 
them  to  make  an  entry  out  for  the  race  meeting  at  Oak- 
land and  send  it  in. 

This  is  to  be  the  greatest  year  for  trotting  and  pacing 
races  ever  known  in  the  United  States,  and  in  California 
particularly.  Every  horse-owner  has  awakened  to  the 
fact  that  horses  cannot  be  sold  unless  they  are  developed; 
hence,  an  enthusiasm  in  the  science  of  training  is 
awakened  that  cannot  prevent  healthy  progress  in  the 
great  industry. 

This  is  the  last  call.  Read  the  advertisement  of 
Oakland's  meeting,  and  send  entries  to  Secretary  Dimond 
so  that  they  will  have  a  postmaster's  date  no  later  than 
April  2d.  Let  everyone  boom  this  banner  meeting  of 
the  year. 


Portland's    Spring-    Meeting. 


The  enterprise  of  the  president  and  directors  of  the 
Portland  Speed  Association  in  offering  the  sum  of  $15,- 
000  in  purses  and  specials  for  their  spring  meeting 
which  is  to  be  held  June  30th,  and  July  2,  3,  4,  5,  6 
and  "at  Irvington  Park  is  to  be  commended.  The  great- 
est interest  is  being  taken  in  it,  and  as  numerous  horse- 
owners  at  the  Bay  District  track  have  been  anxious  to 
know  what  the  programme  of  the  Portland  meeting  is, 
it  affords  us  pleasure  to  present  it  in  this  issue.  There 
are  to  be  race3  for  runners,  trotters  and  pacers  for 
purses  ranging  from  $700  to  §300,  and  as  it  is  the  in- 
tention of  the  officers  to  employ  a  capable  starter,  one 
who  thoroughly  understands  his  business  and  is  not 
afraid  to  give  even  starts  in  the  running  events.  A  full 
entry  li3t  is  expected.  Entries  to  trotting  and  pacing 
races  will  close  June  1st.  This  will  give  horsemen 
plenty  of  time  to  sample  their  horses  and  to  know  just 
che  one3  which  will  pay  them  to  take  north. 


The  Blue  Ribbon  Meeting. 


Detroit,  Michigan,  has  been  the  home  of  some  of  the 
jreatest  trotters  and  pacers  in  America.  The  enterprise 
>f  the  owners  in  having  these  animals  trained,  has  made 
heir  names  as  familiar  as  household  words  wherever 
a:es  are  spoken  of.  The  advertisement  of  the  Blue 
tibbon  Meeting  to  b3  given  this  year  by  the  Detroit 
)riviDg  Club,  in  which  special  races  are  provided  for, 
ppears  in  our  columns  for  the  last  time,  as  entries  for 
aese  events  will  close  Monday,  April  2nd.  The  horse- 
len  who  contemplate  visiting  the  East  with  their  strings 
f  horses,  should  not  overlook  the  special  advantages  the 
.ch  prizes  and  the  liberal  conditions  offered  by  this  pro- 
ressive  association  presents.  The  track  will  be  opened 
ad  as  every  horseman  knows  that  a  new  track  is  always 
le  bes*"  to  make  fast  time,  no  one  who  is  making  entries

Bound  to  Succeed 


The  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  is 
making  rapid  headway,  and  kindly  messages  of  encour- 
agement are  received  from  all  parts  of  the  Pacific  Coast. 
The  leading  turf  journals  of  the  East  are  almost  unani- 
monious  in  its  favor.  The  last  number  of  Clark's  Horse 
Review  contains  the  following  editorial  : 

"Some  weeks  ago  we  intimated  in  these  columns  that  a  strong 
probability  existed  that  the  trotting  associations  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
would  treat  away  from  the  governing  Eastern  organizations,  the 
National  Trotting  Association  and  the  American  Trotting  Associa- 
tion, and  wonld  organize  under  a  central  body  of  their  own,  that 
should  control  practically  all  the  tracks  west  of  the  Sierras.  This  has 
indeed  come  to  pass,  as  last  week  at  San  Francisco  representatives  of 
nearly  all  the  associations— agricultural,  fair  and  trotting— of  the 
Pacific  states  met  and  organized  the  Occidental  Trotling^and  Pacing 
Association.  Secretary  Steiner.of  the  American  Trotting  Association 
was  present  and  argued  with  the  Californians  against  their  [with- 
drawal from  the  old  associations,  but  his  reasoning  was  vain.  The 
impression  that  Chicago  and  New  York  are  too  far  from  the  shores  of 
the  Pacific  for  the  convenient  adjudication  of  California,  Oregon  and 
Washington  trotting  and  pacing  disputes  not  unnaturally  prevailed 
at  'Frisco,  and  so  the  outlook  is  .that  ultimately  the  jurisdiction  of 
the  Eastern  Associations  will  stop  at  the  Rockies.  The  National 
Trotting  Association,  losing  as  it  did  in  1SS7,  the  majority  of  its  mem 
bers  between  the  Alleghany  and  the  Rocky  Mountains,  still  held 
those  on  the  slope,  so  that  the  membership  of  the  American  Associa 
tion  has  never  been  formidable  on  the  coast.  The  organization  c 
the  Pacific  assoctation^will  leave  both  the  old  associations  practically 
on  a  par  as  to  the  western  extent  of  their  jurisdiction,  and  should  the 
new  association  be  wisely  formed  and  managed, we  do  not  dunbt  that 
its  influence  on  the  breeding  and  racing  industry  of  the  states  that 
lie  in  the  golden  light  of  the|settiog  sun  will  be  stimulating  and  bene- 


This  is  the  last  notification  to  horse-owners  of  the 
closing  of  entries  for  the  district  and  free-for-all  purses 
at  San  Jose.  No  money  required  at  the  time  entries  are 
made  in  these  purses.  The  programme  is  published  in 
another  column.  Entries  will  close  to-morrow,  April 
1st.     Do  not  neglect  giving  this  your  attention  at  once. 


Remember  entries  for  the  Declaration  purses  for  colts 
at  Petaluma  close  next  Saturday,  April  7th.  Read  the 
the  advertisement  and  forward  entries  in  time. 


The  advertisement  of  the  Montana  races  came  just 
as  this  journal  was  placed  on  the  press.  The  attention 
of  all  horsemen  is  called  to  it. 


The  "Woodland  Entries. 

Following  is  a  list  of  entries  to  the  colt  purses  of  the 
Woodland  Association.  The  future  of  the  trotting  horse 
industry  is  no  longer  in  doubt  when  such  a  showing  is  made, 
and  comments  are  needless.  We  congratulate  the  directors, 
however,  on  the  success  of  their  enterprise,  and  hope  that 
others  wi!l  follow  the  excellent  example  they  have  set :

Oae  of  the  most  artistic  and  perfectly  arranged  catalogues 
we  have  seen  ihis  year  is  the  one  issued  by  Myers  &  Myers  of 
Pleasanton.  Within  the  embossed  covers  is  a  list  of  fiue 
horses  that  are,  in  point  of  breeding  and  individuality,  as 
choice  as  ever  were  brought  to  California.

The  stock  comprising  this  collection  has  been  selected  by  one 
of  the  most  competent  judges  of  conformation  and  bloodlines 
in  the  United  States,  and  as  the  produce  will  be  campaigned 
through  the  circuit  there  is  no  doubting  their  ability  to  make 
a  splendid  showing.  We  congratulate  Messrs.  Myers  & 
Myers  on  their  splendid  possessions  in  the  trotting  world  and 
will  watch  with  interest  the  progress  made  by  this  string.

CARTRIDGE     AND     SHELL. 


The  California  Win?  Shooting  Club  will  hold  their  regular 
monthly  shoot  at  Oakland  Race  Track  on  Sunday,  April  1st. 
Take  the  9  o'clock  boat  from  San  Francisco. 


Clabrough,  Golcher  el  Co.  have  .just  issued  a  very  neat  cat 
alogue  of  their  extensive  line  of  athletic  goods.  Football 
bi.se  ball,  tenois,  golf,  polo,  cricket  and  bicycle  enthusiasts  are 
invited  to  call  and  examine  their  goods  and  incidentally  put 
one  of  these  catalogues  in  their  pockels. 

The  new  California  production,  the  United  Stales  smoke- 
less powder  was  nsed  by  Mr.  Robertson  entirely  at  the  Recre- 
ation Gun  Club  shoot  on  Sunday  last.  It  is  unquestionably  as 
quick  as  any  of  the  nilros.  In  penetration,  to  judge  by  the 
way  the  birds  fell  when  hit,  it  must  be  good.  The  main  ob- 
jectionable feature  is  the  pungent  gas  from  the  breech  of  the 
"gun  when  opened  after  firing.  This  powder  has  been  mixed 
by  hand  only,  and  will  doubtless  be  much  improved  in  regu- 
larity wheu  properly  mixed.  We  fancy  also  that  a  harder 
grain  would  be  an  improvement.  With  slight  improvements 
this  will  become  one  of  our  leading  powders. 

The  programme  for  Clabruugh,  Golcher  e;  Co.'s  blue  rock 
tournament  at  Oakland  Race  Track  on  Sunday,  April  1st,  will 
be  as  follows : 

Event  Xo.  1 — Ten  birds,  entrance  $1,  use  of  both  barrels, 
second  barrel  breaks  to  count  one-half.  One  man  to  score  at 
a  time. 

Event  No.  2 — Teu  birds,  entrance  $1.     Squad  shooting. 

Event  Xo.  3 — Same  as  No.  2,  only  this  will  be  class  shoot- 
ing. 

Event  Xo.  4— Fifty  birds,  $5  entrance,  purse  divided  into 
50,  30  and  20  per  cent. 

Event  Xo.  5 — *>ix  pair  (doubles),  $1  entrance. 

Entrance  to  include  birds  in  all  events. 


There  will  be  a  blue  rock  tournament  at  the  Midwinter  Fair 
some  time  in  April  or  May.  The  exact  date  has  not  as  yet 
been  determined  upon.  A  committee  on  preliminaries  met 
at  the  office  of  the  Bkbedek  and  Sportsman  on  Tuesday 
and  Wednesday  of  this  week  and  a  proposition  has  been  made 
to  the  California  Midwinter  Exposition  Athletic  Auxiliary 
Committee,  but  as  we  go  to  press  on  Thursday  we  can  not 
give  the  result  until  next  week.  The  committee  consists  of 
the  following  well-known  sportsmen:  Chairman,  A.  Russell 
Crowed,  of  the  BREEDER  AND  Sportsman  ;  Secretary,  J.  C. 
Baker,  Secretary  of  the  Empire  Gun  Club;  Edg.  Forster  with 
Clabrough,  Golcher  oc  Co.,  Secretary  of  the  Lincoln  Gun 
Club;  A.  W.  Allen,  with  E.  T.  Allen"  &  Co.;  Wm.  H.  Seaver, 
representing  W.  A.  Seaver  of  the  LI.  M.  C.  Co.  and  Reming- 
ton Ann*  i  lo  ;  I'.  Yenker,  of  the  Lincoln  ( iuu  Club  ;  R.  Lid- 
die  of  R.  Liddle  A  Co.,  and  Chas.  Burgans,  of  the  Alameda 
County  Sportsmen's  Association. 

The  Petaluma  Trap  and  Gun  Club. 

A  large  number  of  local  nimrods  met  at  the  city  hall  last 
evening  for  the  purpose  of  organizing  a  trap  shooting  club, 
and  the  meeting  was  a  lively  and  enthusiastic  one  through- 
out. 

Hon.  E.  E.  Drees  was  made  temporary  chairman  and  Jos. 
Sleiger  acted  as  secretary. 

On  motion  the  name  "The  I'etalumaTrnp  and  Gun  Club," 
w.i    adopt*  il  Bfl  the  name  of  tho  organization. 

ll  was  decided  to  adopt  the  rules  of  the  American  Shooting 
Association  to  govern  temporarily  the  matches  to  be  shot  by 
the  club,  and  on  motion  the  chair  appointed  a  committee  of 
three  mi  convolution,  by-laws  and  rules,  composed  of  O.  M. 
Campbell,  Wm.  Steigerand  Henry  L.  Ellsworth. 

By  unanimous  vote  the  secretary  was  instructed  to  open  a 
membership  roll,  and  the  following  gentlemen  signed  as  char- 
ter members  with  others  to  he  heard  from  :  O.  M.  Campbell,

The  Country  Club. 

The  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  Country  Club  at  Oakland 
Race  Track  on  Saturday  last  was  the  moBt  pleasant  shoot  that 
we  have  ever  attended  at  the  track.  Twenty-three  shoo'ers 
faced  the  traps  and  a  jollier  lot  of  sportsmen  it  would  be  hard 
to  find. 

The  highest  scores  were  made  by  Mr.  John  B.  Ellison,  of 
Philadelphia,  a  guest  of  the  club,  and  Mr.  Harry  Babcock, 
the  club's  president,  who  each  secured  ten.  Mr.  Ellison's 
third  bird  fell  dead  out  of  bounds.  Mr.  Babcock  killed  his 
ten  birds  with  the  first  barrel. 

Mr.  R.  H.  Sprague  grassed  nine,  his  second  bird  falling  dead 
out  of  bounds,  his  last  escaping  badly  punished. 

Mr.  C.  O.  Richards  killed  eight  within  bounds  and  two 
just  over  the  fence.     His  sixth  was  also  badly  punished. 

Mr.  Robert  Oxnard  seventh  dropped  to  the  first  barrel  ap- 
parently dead,  but  left  for  parts  unknown  before  the  dog  could 
reach  him.    His  tenth  dropped  out  of  bounds. 

Mr.  J.  Downey  Harvey's  ninth  dropped  dead  out  of  bounds 
as  did  also  Woodward's  third,  Atherton's  second,  third  and 
and  eleventh,  Howard's  eighth,  Tubbs'  sixth  and  Worden's 
second. 

Mr.  George  B.  Sperry  was  unusually  unlortunate  in  this 
respect  losing  his  fourth,  eighth  and  eleventh,  dead  out  of 
bounds,  his  second   escaping  very  hard   hit  by  both  barrels. 

Messrs.  P.  J.  Donahue  and  Col.  Eddy  would  undoubtedly 
have  done  better  iu  ths  main  match,  but  through  a  misunder- 
standing of  the  rules.  They  shot  a  couple  of  six-bird  matches 
before  the  main  event,  while  waiting  for  the  members  to  ar- 
rive and  these  two  matches  comprise  their  score  in  the  main 
event. 

Mr.  A.  Russell  Crowed  officiated  as  referee,  Mr.  Richard 
Carroll  scorer.    The  score  :

The  Recreation  Gun  Club. 


The  first  shoot  of  the  season  of  the  Recreation  Gun  Club  at 
Oakland  Race  Track  on  March  25th,  brought  out  but  a  light 
attendance  in  the  regular  match,  though  quite  a  number  par- 
ticipated in  the  pools  that  followed.  The  birds  were  a  fair 
lot,  not  remarkably  strong  flyers,  but  not  a  poor  lot  by  any 
means.  Messrs.  Barney  and  "  Randall  "  tied  for  first  place 
with  eleven  each,  Barney's  ninth  bird  falling  dead  out  of 
bounds.  "Slade"  was  not  in  his  usual  jform.  "Smith's" 
club  score  was  shot  in  the  twelve  bird  sweep  that  followed  the 
main  match.  "Smith,"  "Jones,"  Allen  and  "  Slade"  each 
lost  one  bird,  dead  out  of  bounds.  Mr.  A.  Russell  Crowed 
referee,  the  score : 


The  regular  shoot  of  the  above  named  club  brought  out  a 
good  attendance  on  Sunday  last  at  Joe  Dieves,  San  Leandro 
Road.  In  the  regular  match  Harding  led  for  the  first-class 
medal  with  a  score  of  20,  Miller  second  with  17,  Wetmore

The  Midwinter  Fair  Touenament,  that  will  be  held  under 
the  auspices  of  the  California  State  Sportsmen's  Association 
at  Oakland  Race  Track  on  April  5th  to  8th  inclusive,  prom- 
ises to  be  the  most  successful  tournament  ever  held  on  the 
coast. 

There  will  be  many  Eastern  shooters,  as  well  as  those  from 
the  north  and  south,  in  attendance.  Mr.  John  B.  Ellison,  of 
Philadelphia,  is  already  here,  and  Harvey  McMurchy  and 
A.  G.  Courtney  are  expected  to  arrive  here  in  time  to  attend 
the  latter  part  of  the  tournament. 

Great  interest  is  being  manifested  in  the  100-bird  match, 
and  it  is  thought  that  there  will  be  a  very  large  entry  in  this 
event.  Mr.  Edw.  Fay  has  signified  his  intention  of  entering 
in  this  event.  We  have  previously  published  the  programme 
of  events,  but  for  the  convenience  of  our  readers  we  republish

The  Sportsmen's  Convention. 

As  the  time  draws  near  for  the  great  convention  of  sports- 
men, one  hears  on  the  local  ferries,  in  the  various  gun  stores, 
on  the  streets  and  at  the  club  shoots,  of  desirable  changes  in 
the  existing  game  laws  of  the  State,  many  of  them  more  than 
desirable,  many  of  them  entirely  impracticable  and  some 
utterly  impossible. 

All  this  goes  to  prove  that  at  last  the  sportsmen  of  Cali- 
fornia have  awakened  to  the  enormity  of  the  question  before 
them. 

The  interest  in  this  question  of  game  protection,  a  ques- 
tion that  is  of  vital  importance  to  every  sportsman  in  the 
State,  is  at  present  very  great.  On  April  10th  it  will  be  at 
fever  heat.  In  our  estimation,  however,  the  alterations  in 
the  existing  laws  need  be  very  slight,  to  have  the  desired 
effect.  What  we  do  need  is  some  method  of  enforcing  the 
game  laws.  The  system  of  game  wardens  for  every  county  is 
the  only  solution  to  the  problem  that  we  know  of. 

Our  Eastern  correspondent  promised  us  an  exhaustive 
article  on  Eastern  system,  but  a  severe  illness  has  prevented 
him  from  fultiUing  his  promise.  The  game  wardens  of  the 
State  of  Connecticut  are  appointed  by  the  County  Commis- 
sioners in  each  country.  There  may  be  a  game  warden  and 
a  fish  warden  in  each  county  or  both  officers  may  be  held  by 
the  same  person  at  the  option  of  the  County  Commissioners. 
Game  wardens  have  power  to  deputize,  also  to  search  with- 
out warrant  the  persons  or  premises  of  suspected  persons,i.  e., 
on  suspicion. 

The  Farmers  and  Sportsmen's  Association  for  the  Protec- 
tion of  Game  and  Fish  ha-*  a  large  membership  scattered 
throushout  the  State  and  assists  materially  in  the  enforce- 
ment of  the  game  and  fish  laws. 

The  delegates  to  this  convention,  appointed  by  the  County 
Boards  of  Supervisors,  not  previously  mentioned  in  these 
columns,  are  as  follows  :

cisco, on  Tuesday,  April  10th,  commencing  at  10  a.  m. 
promptly.

Johnson,  Detroit. 

Missouri — Vice  Presidents,  James  W.  Jones,  Kansas  City,

Oregon — Vice  Presidents,  Hon.  S.  H.  Greene,  Portland, 
and  E.  N.  Carter,  Ashland ;  Secretary,  W.  A.  Storey,  Port- 
land. 

Texas— Vice  Presidents,  John  Tiieller,  Dallas,  and  J.  B. 
Gilbert,  Houston  ;  Secretary,  O.  C.  Guessez,  San  Antonio. 

In  many  other  States,  viz.,  Arkansas,  California,  Connecti- 
cut, Florida,  Illinois,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Minnesota,  New 
Jersev,  North  Dakota,  Ohio,  Pennsylvania,  South  Dakota, 
Washington  and  Wisconsin,  a  portion  of  the  State  officers 
have  been  appointed,  and  the  work  of  game  protection  is 
receiving  earneBt  attention  all  along  the  line. 

The  numerous  inquiries  and  applications  for  membership 
from  all  sections  of  the  United  States  indicate  that  the  true 
sportsmen  of  America  realize  more  forcibly  than  ever  before 
the  necessity  of  harmonious  action  to  prevent  the  extermina- 
tion of  the  better  varieties  of  game  birds  and  animals. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  National  Game  Protective  Asso- 
ciation to  publish,  at  an  early  date,  a  "  Hand  Book  for 
Sportsmen,"  giving  a  synopsis  of  the  game  and  fish  laws, 
directory  of  fish  and  game  wardens,  constitution  and  by-laws 
of  the  National  Association,  list  of  its  officers  and  members, 
with  an  alphabetical  record  of  State  sportsmen's  associations 
and  their  officers,  and  other  useful  information,  mafcinga 
valuable  work  of  reference  for  general  circulation.  A  special 
chapter  will  be  devoted  to  methods  of  practical  game  pro- 
tection. 

If  all  sportsmen  who  favor  the  objects  of  the  association 
will  give  material  aid  to  the  extent  of  becoming  members  at 
a  small  expense  of  one  dollar  each  (this  amount  covering  all 
dues  for  the  first  year),  there  will  be  an  aggregate  force, 


financial  and  numerical,  against  which  the  combined  strength 
of  game  butchers  and  law  breakers  cannot  avail.  Game  pro- 
tection has  hitherto  been  a  sentiment,  of  great  diversity  in 
methods  of  application,  but  it  is  becoming  crystalized  into  a 
united  purpose.  Give  to  the  National  Association  the  proper 
force  of  members,  backed  by  good  game  wardens,  and  tbe  law 
breakers  cannot  withstand  the  search-light  of  investigation 
which  may  be  turned  into  tbe  shady  places  where  now  flour- 
ish the  ghouls  of  the  game  traffic.  Lend  us  your  influence 
and  aid,  brother  sportsmen,  in  the  cause  that  needs  assistance. 
Fred  E.  Pond,  Secretary.

'  I  Hope  We'll  Meet  Again  on  the  Stream." 


Inscribed  to  F.  W.  C.  by  C.  T.  Mitchell. 


"  I  bope  we'll  meet  again  on  the  stream," 

Said  an  angling  friend  whom  I've  met 
Od  the  banks  of  the  Outlet  at  times, 

And  his  greeting  rings  cheerilv  yet. 

It  brings  up  recollections  of  dayB 
That  are  dear  to  all  anglera'  hearts, 
.  And  restores  tbe  glad  faces  of  friends, 
From  whom  one  reluctantly  parts. 

I  hope  we'll  meet  again  on  the  stream, 
When  the  grass  shows  green  on  tbe  lawn  . 

And  the  Ice  which  covers  the  ponds, 
By  April's  warm  sunshine  is  tbawn. 

When  the  freshets  of  spring-time  are  past. 

And  the  birds  return  to  tbe  glen ; 
When  tbe  silver-cbub  leave  the  aeep  pools 

And  sport  in  the  ripples  again. 

I  hope  we'll  meet  again  on  the  stream, 

When  bright  sunny  days  in  July, 
Are  tempered  by  moist  cooling  winds, 

And  the  fish  are  taking  the  "  fly." 

When  the  banks  of  tbe  Ontlet  are  strewn 

With  profusion  of  flowers  in  bloom, 
Eupatoriums,  wild-asters  and  ferns, 

And  tbe  stately  golden-rod  plume. 

I  hope  we'll  meet  again  on  the  stream, 

When  trees  on  the  margin  are  drest 
In  the  gay  autumn  tints  which  precede 

Their  long  sombre  period  of  rest. 

As  the  glad  angling  seasonB  return, 

While  onr  lives  float  on  like  a  dream ; 
And  our  hearts  have  a  fondness  for  sport, 

May  we  often  meet  on  the  stream. 

—The  American  Angler.

the    Los    Angeles 


What    a  parody  on 
premium  list. 

The  Mascoutah  Kennel  Club  show  was  a  great  success. 
There  were  773  entries  and  091  dogs  benched. 

Forest  and  Stream  asks  for  the  address  of  K.  E.  Hopf,  the 
pioneer  St.  Bernard  breeder.  Mr.  Hopf  is  situated  at  Arangee, 
Fremont  county,  Idaho. 

Mr.  A.  C.  Shallenberger's  St.  Bernard  Alton  III.  won  the 
reserve  in  the  open  class  at  Chicago.  If  we  are  not  mistaken 
this  dog  was  formerly  a  resident  of  Seattle. 

A  very  strong  kennel  club  has  recently  been  organized  in 
Kentucky,  called  the  Louisville  Kennel  Club.  It  has  been 
incorporated  and  desires  to  hold  a  bench  during  the  first 
week  in  May.  Application  has  been  made  for  permission  to 
do  so,  under  A.  K.  C.  rules. 

In  the  regulations  governing  clubs  holding  shows  under  A 
K.  C"  rules  we  notice  Article  VII.:  "No  special  prize  shall 
be  offered  except  for  dogs  of  established  breeds,  etc."  Ben. 
Lewis  won  a  special  of  $100  at  Chicago  for  bringing  that 
show  the  greatest  number  of  dogs.  What  breed  is  he? 
Welsh !  

J.  B.  Martin,  of  this  city,  has  sold  to  J.  B.  Carmichael,  of 
Victoria,  B.  C,  the  foxterrier  bitch  Blemton  Rupture  by 
Champion  Kegent — Champion  Rachel.  She  is  heavy  in 
whelp  to  Blemton  Reefer  by  Champion  Venio — Champion 
Rachel,  and  her  produce  should  be  of  great  benefit  to  tbe 
breed  in  that  section. 


Mr.  Thomas  Higgs,  proprietor  of  the  Peppo  Kennels,  West 
Berkeley,  Cal.,  has  sold  a  very  fine  Chesapeake  Bay  bitch, 
Queen,  by  Trout — Bess,  to  \V.  D.  Smith  of  Crook's  Inlet, 
Alaska,  also  a  dog  puppy,  same  breeding,  to  H.  M.  Wetherbee, 
Oakland,  Cal.  The  latter  will  also  be  shipped  to  Alaska.  Mr. 
Higg*  advertisement  will  be  found  among  our  kennel  adver- 
tisements. To  those  wishing  to  purchase  a  duck  retriever 
that  cannot  be  excelled  we  heartily  recommend  both  thestoefc 
and  their  well-known  owner. 


Mr.  R.  M.  Dodge,  formerly  trainer  for  the  California  Ken- 
nels of  {.uisun,  Cal.,  has  gone  into  business  at  Kenwood,  So- 
noma county,  Cal.  He  is  grandly  located  and  will  have  his 
kennels  finished  about  April  1st.  He  will  be  in  this  city  on 
that  date  and  as  he  can  take  any  number  of  boarders  and 
dogs  to  yard  train  as  well  as  a  few  to  train  for  the  trials,  it  is 
more  than  probable  that  he  will  return  with  quite  a  string  of 
dogs.  We  heartily  recommend  Mr.  Dodge  as  a  field  trial 
trainer  and  careful,  conscientious  handler.  We  predict  for 
him  success.  If  he  does  not  give  satisfaction  and  give  his 
opponents  a  close  rub  at  the  next  trials  then  there  is  no  man 
in  California  that  can. 


A  Protest. 


The  Fly  Casting  Tournament. 


Interest  in  the  coming  Fly  Casting  Tournament  continues 
to  increase.  Many  special  prizes  have  been  given  already) 
among  them  several  subscriptions  to  theIrish-American,two 
subscriptions  to  the  Forest  and  Stream,  two  to  the  American 
Field  and  three  to  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  Wm.  Mills 
Sons,  manufacturers  of  the  Leonard  rods,  have  donated  a  fine 
Leonard.  The  Nautehaug  Co.  donate  some  fine  silk  lines. 
S.  Allcock  &  Co.  tine  flies.  Horton  M'f'y.  Co.  a  steel  fly 
rod.  Enterprize  M'Fg.  Co.  fine  flies.  Norman  &  Bennett 
fishing  shoes,  and  John  S.  Benn,  the  well-known  fly  tyer, 
donates  a  fly  book  with  flies  and  leaders. 

The  entry  promises  to  be  very  large. 

Judging  from  the  local  trade  the  opening  of  the  trout  sea- 
son will  be  one  of  the  best  in  years.  Every  angler  in  Califor- 
nia and  hiB  friends  will  be  casting  flies,  worms  and  other  lures 
to-morrow.  

The  Sonoma  County  anglers  were  very  successful  on  Sun- 
day last  judging  from  the  tine  strings  and  baskets  of  trout  on 
the  North  Coast  evening  train. 

The  fishing  at  Point  Reyes  has  been  very  good  this  week. 
The  water  is  reported  as  being  low,  but  trout  are  plentiful. 

Mr.  John  Lemmer  landed  fifteen  beautiful  salmon  trout 
from  Salinas  Creek  on  Sunday  last. 

The  streams  in  the  vicinity  of  Cloverdale  will  afford  the 
anglers  good  fishing  to-morrow. 

Reports  from  Napa  state  that  the  streams  are  rather  high 
but  clear  and  fish  plentiful. 

-*- 

Nice  fishing  can  be  had  to-morrow  on  the  Purissima,  back 
of  Mayfield. 


San  Francisco,  March  28,  1894. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Dear  Sir — The  ac- 
tion of  the  Southern  California  Kennel  Club  in  substituting 
A.  C.  Waddell  of  Coffeyville,  Kansas,  as  judge  of  its  show 
April  18th  to  21st,  at  Los  Angeles,  in  place  of  R.  T.  Vande- 
vort,  Horace  Briggs  and  A.  R.  Crowell,  the  judges  announced 
in  its  Premium  List,  is  deserving  of  the  severest  condemna- 
tion by  the  dog  owners  of  this  Coast. 

The  breed  I  am  interested  in  is  foxterriers  and  the  gentle- 
man selected  to  judge  that  breed,  G.  L.  Waring,  of  Riverside, 
is  perfectly  satisfactory  to  the  breeders  here. 

I  intended  showing  four  terriers  at  Los  Angeles,  but  in 
view  of  the  action  of  this  club  in  rejecting  its  judges  in  this 
manner,  I  am  compelled  to  withhold  any  entries.  I  regret 
this  very  much  as  I  have  had  from  one  to  two  entries  at  all 
of  the  preceding  shows  of  this  club.     Yours  truly, 

J.  B.  Martin. 

Judges  at  Los  Angeles. 

Messrs.  Vandevoort,  Briggs  and  Crowell,  the  gentlemen 
chosen  to  judge  the  Los  Angeles  bench  show  have  resigned  in 
favor  of  Mr.  A.  C.  Waddell  of  Cofley ville,  Kansas.  While 
Mr.  Vandevoort  is  unquestionably  well  posted  on  pointer 
form,  Mr.  Briggs  well  posted  on  some  breeds  and  the  writer 
after  judging  several  Eastern  shows  and  spending  his  entire 
life  breeding,  exhibited  and  reporting  dog  shows,  anything 
but  a  novice,  there  is  no  question  but  that  an  Eastern  judge 
of  whom  the  public  know  nothing  will  draw  a  larger  entry 
and  tend  to  make  the  show  a  greater  success.  Mr.  Waddell 
judged  two  consecutive  years  at  Denver  and  gave  general 
satisfaction.  We  bespeak  for  him  a  record  entry.  Mr.  G. 
L.  Waring,  of  Riveside,  will  judge  fox  terriers  and  bull- 
terriers.  Entries  close  Ayril  7th  with  C.  A.  Summer,  Secre- 
tary, 107  S.  Broadway,  Los  Angeles,  Cal. 

An  Explanatory  Letter. 

As  many  of  our  readers  have  expressed  surprise  at  the 
change  of  judges  at  so  late  a  date,  we  publish  below  tbe  letter

Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  March  2G,  1894. 
Mr.  A.  Russell  Crowell— 

Dear  Sir :  Mr.  A.  C.  Waddell  having  kindly  consented  to 
come  to  Los  Angeles  and  judge  for  ns,  we  shall  be  able  to 
relieve  you  from  that  very  thankless  job.  The  club,  however, 
takes  this  opportunity  of  thanking  you  very  cordially  for 
having  acceded  to  their  wishes,  and  against  your  personal 
wishes  agreeing  to  help  them  out  when  they  were  in  a  hole. 
I  have  the  honor  to  be        Yours  obediently, 

C.  A.  Sumner, 
Secretary  Southern  California  Kennel  Club.

Irish  Setters. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — I  have  read  the 
letters  in  Breeder  and  Sportsman  vs.  Mr.  Truman's  new 
purchase,  the  Irish  setter  Dick  Swiveler,  and  without  desir- 
ing to  enter  into  the  controversy,  I  wish  to  make  a  few  state- 
ments which  may  throw  a  little  light  on  the  subject. 

When  I  bought  Dick  Swiveler  iu  1S92  at  the  Assignee's 
sale  of  Covert's  Kennels,  I  had  a  {circular  printed  in  which  it 
was  stated  that  "Dick  Swiveler  had  met  and  defeated  all  of 
the  most  promineut  Irish  setter  dogs  living."  This  was  the 
fact  at  the  time,  and  I  was  careful  that  the  circular  was  dated 
60  that  it  conld  not  be  misconstrued.  A  little  more  than  one 
year  later  I  sold  Dick  Swiveler  to  Mr.  Fowler  of  the  Oak 
Grove  Kennels,  who,  1  believe,  quite  innocently,  as  he  pays 
little  attention  to  such  matters,  reproduced  my  circular,  ne- 
glecting to  date  it,  and  Mr.  Truman,  I  think,  should  be  ex- 
cused for  falling  onto  the  same  error,  as  he  is  so  far  situated 
from  the  scene  of  action.  If  there  is  any  one  to  blame  for  this 
mistake,  1  think  it  should  be  myself,  as  I  am  indirectly  the 
cause  of  it 

Now,  iu  regard  to  Dick  Swiveler  as  a  sire.  It  is  a  fact,  well 
known  to  those  well  informed  upon  the  subject,  that  the  bitches 
with  very  few  exceptions,  in  Covert's  Kennel,  were  a  very 
miserable  low  grade  lot,  and  it  was  only  a  short  time  pre- 
vious to  Covert's  failure  that  he  realized  that  an  improvement 
must  be  made  in  thisdirection,  and  bought  two  or  three  fairly 
good  ones  of  excellent  breeding.  The  fee  for  Dick  Swiveler 
was  $50,  which  was  practicalljyprohibitory,  as  Elcho  Jr., an 
infinitely  better  dog  then  living,  was  in  the  stud  at  the  same 
time  at  $25.  If  as  miny  as  three  bitches  were  bred  to  Dick 
SwiveUr  outside  of  Coven's  owu  kennel,  during  the  time 
Covert  owoed  him,  I  am  not  aware  of  it,  but  he  was  bred  to 
this  nondescript  lot  of  bitches  that  Covert  owned,  and  what 
result  could  be  expected  other  than  a  lot  of  low  grade  Irish 
setters? 

When  I  bought  Dick  I  reduced  his  fee  by  half,  and  as  the 
result  of  the  advertising  he  had,  got  some  twenty  odd  bitches 
to  him,  only  four  of  which  were  even  fair.  One  of  these, 
Ileene  ^O'Callaghan  blood),  had  a  tine  litter.by  him,  but  I  be- 
lieve all  died  before  maturity.  Of  the  others,  I  have  seen 
two  litters  grow  up,  and  I  can  only  give  Dick  his  due  by  tes- 
tifying that  they  are  very  typical  Irish  setters,  good  fielders, 
and  in  most  cases,  superior  to  their  dams.  One  of  these  Kil- 
dare  Flo,  was  shown  at  Seattle,  won  first  in  the  puppy  class, 
but  afterward  died  of  distemper.  This  puppy  was  most  promis- 
ing and  very  like  Laura  B.  in  conformation  and  type.  There 
are  several  puppies  by  Dick  Swiveler,  out  of  The  Marchioness 
owned  about  Pittsburgh  that  are  very  fair  animals  considera- 
bly above  the  average. 

Belle  of  Kildare  hid  a  litter  by  Dick  Swiveler,  one  dog  of 
which  has  been  shown  and  won  a  first  prize  in  an  open  class 
before  be  was  a  year  old  with  good  competition.  Another  of 
this  litter  is  owned  in  New  Yurk  City,  and  I  predict  that  he 
will  make  a  name  for  himself  on  the  bench,  and  he  is  a  nat- 
ural fielder.  In  fact,  this  one  is  a  real  "  flyer."  Now,  Mr. 
Editor,  I  do  not  make  the  above  statements  to  extol  Dick 
S-viveler  as  a  sire  or  inany  other  way.  I  have  always  con- 
sidered him  a  much  over-rated  dog.  He  falls  far  short  of  my 
idea  of  an  Irish  setter  in  many  ways,  though  his  type  and 
outline  cannot  be  denied,  but  it  is  to  show  that  he  is  not  an 
utter  failure  as  a  sire. 

Another  point  against  Dick  is  that  he  is  not  a  field  dog, 
but  I  believe  this  is  entirely  the  fault  of  his  early  owners, 
who  neglected  to  give  him  necessary  training  and  opportunity. 
When  1  got  him  be  was  just  six  years  of  age,  and  I  took  him 
out  several  times  an  quail.  At  times  his  instinct  would  liveo 
him  up,  and  he  made  an  occasional  point  in  a  rather  uncer- 
tain maoner,  but  it  convinced  me  that  he  had  bird  sense  bred 
in  him  and  his  failure  to  do  good  work  was  only  the  result  of 
neglect,  but  his  puppies  as  a  rule,  if  the  bitch  has  any  quality 
wh  itever,  inherited  bird  sense  and  a  nice  way  of  going  a  field. 

Although  the  conformation  of  Dick  Swiveler's  head  would 
indicate  a  lack  of  sense,  I  must  again  testify  that  a  more  in- 
telligent dog  I  have  never  seen.  It  was  this  quality  in  Dick 
that  made  him  a  favorite  of  mine,  though  I  must  admit  he 
failed  to  please  me  as  a  typical  Irish  setter.  I  sold  him 
principally  because  I  was  moving  to  town  and  had  not  facili- 
ties for  keeping  any  dogs  just  then.  Secondly,  because  he 
was  untrained  and  was  not  a  field  dog,  and  I  won't  own  a 
dog  longer  than  lean  help  if  he  lacks  the  essentials  of  a 
practical  shooting  dog,  as  my  principal  pleasure  in  life  is  in 
shooting  over  my  Irish  setters.  I  did  not  sell  Dick  at  a  large 
price,  as  has  been  stated,  but  got  a  very  small  advance  on  the 
$105  I  paid  for  him.  which  did  not  remunerate  me  for  the 
expense  I  was  put  to  in  curing  him  of  a  stubborn  cise  of 
mange  and  eczema  combined  with  which  he  was  afllicted 
when  I  bought  him. 

1  cannot  close  without  a  word  for  Mr.  Campbell  who  I 
understand  is  doing  a  great  deal  for  the  red  dog  in  the  West. 
Hfl  h;is  the  right  kind  of  dogs  and  the  right  ideas,  and  it  is 
to  bits  yon  id  |8l  look  to  bring  the  Irish  Setter  to  his  own. 
The  Kev.  W.  II.  Knowlton  of  Pass  Robles,  Cal.  is  another 
gentl  man  who  has  had  much  experience  with  Irish  Setters, 
and  his  advice  will  prove  of  much  value  to  the  lover?  of  this 
breed  in  your  country.  And  I  must  thank  you  Mr.  Editor 
for  the  recognition  you  have  given  Finglas,  when  you  say 
"  We  hazard  the  opinion  that  Finglas  as  a  field  performer,  a 
bence  winner  and  a  successful  sire  has  no  equal  in  Aoerica 
to-day." 

This  dog  is  now  less  than  four  years  old.  lias  entered  the 
challenge  class  in  22  days  afier  the  first  time  he  was  ever 
shown  at  an  A.  K.  C.  show.  Has  won  eight  first  prizes  at  the 
largest  shows  in  America,  has  never  been  defeated  on  the 
bench.  Has  won  a  6eld  trial  over  English  Betters  and 
Pointers.  Has  sired  four  field  trial  winners;  out  of  nine 
first  prises  «t  the  last  New  Fork  show,  Finglas  won  three 
firsts,  his  gel  won  three  Grata  and  three  Keconds  leaving  but 
three  other  tirets  for  which  neither  he  nor  his  get  competed. 
At  every  show  since  Finglas'  get  have  won  both  the 
first  and  second  prizes  in  the  open  bitch  classes  with  Finglas 
fir-t  for  dogs.  With  these  facts  in  view,  I  should  not  be 
surprised  if  you  are  right  in  your  estimate. 

It  is  a  matter  to  be  regretted  that  the  Sun  Francisco  show 
r  to  be  omitted  this  spring.  My  experience  at  the  one  held 
in  your  city  two  years  ago  was  one  frought  with  many  pleas- 
ures, not  the  least  of  which  was  a  renewal  of  an  acquaintance 
if  long  standing  with  my  old  friend  Namquoi*,  AJlegaheny, 
Pa.  March  16.  Kildaiie.' 

[' Kildare"  has  Ok'"  mentioned  one  win  that  we  did  not 


speak  of  in  our  first  article  on  this  question.  We  did  not 
question  the  individual  merit  of  the  dug  as  a  bench  show 
specimen,  Kildare  does.  We  only  exposed  the  false  state- 
ments contained  in  the  advertisements  and  no  better  proof  of 
the  man's  character  could  be  asked  for,  than  the  fact,  that 
after  our  giving  the  proof  of  the  falsity  of  these  statements, 
facts  which  Kildare  corroborates,  he  still  allows  his  ad.  to 
continue  without  any  alteration.  Truman's  sole  object  iu 
running  this  advertisement  is  a  faint  hope  that  by  bragging  of 
his  owu  he  may  belittle  the  stock  of  a  rival  breeder.  Any 
one  of  whose  dogs  is  worth  Truman's  whole  kennel  for 
practical  work  afield. — Ed.J 

Not  Fair  Play. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — While  in  your  office 
yesterday,  I  had  the  opportunity  to  see  a  premium  list  of  the 
Los  Angeles  show — the  show  has  offered  $500  in  cash 
prizes  but  they  have  no  strings  on  them,  it  is  simply  a  big 
rope  and  a  good  strong  one. 

Take  the  premium  list  for  Mastiffs,  St.  Bernards  (smooth 
and  rough  coated)  and  Great  Danes,  all  have  cash  prizes  for 
open  class  dogs  aud  bitches,  while  Bloodhounds,  Foxhounds 
(English  and  American)  and  Deerhounds — have  five  dollar 
cash  prizes  for  challenge  class,  diplomas  for  open  class.  Then 
comes  Greyhounds  with  cash  prizes  for  both  challenge  and 
open  class,  Wolfhounds,  Newfoundlands,  Chesapeake  Bay 
cash  for  challenge,  while  Pointers  come  next  with  cash  for 
challenge  dogs  and  bitches,  also  cash  for  open  dogs  and  bitches 
both  light  and  heavy  weights.  English  setters  come  in  for 
their  share  of  coin,  Irish  and  Gordon  setters  and  Spaniels 
get  left,  except  in  challenge  classes,  while  it  is  a  well-known 
fact  that  there  is  but  one  or  two  on  the  Coast.  Why  should 
the  Spaniel  get  left  entirely?  Has  he  not  as  good  right  to 
cash  prizes  as  the  Pointer  or  English  Setter  or  the  Gordon 
or  Irish  Setter  ?  Why  should  certain  classes  have  cash  when 
others  do  not  ?  It  seems  strange  that  a  club  should  use  such 
unjust  discrimination.  Has  the  money  been  put  up  for  certain 
ones  to  win?  Certainly  it  has,  if  English  setters  and  point- 
ers have  cash  prizes,  then  the  Gordon  and  Irish  Setters  and 
Spaniels — all  ot  which  are  of  sporting  classes  should  have  an 
equal  show.  No  class  at  all  has  been  made  for  Irish  Water 
Spaniels,  while  I  hear  that  there  is  quite  a  number  in  the 
vicinity  of  San  Francisco.  Then  the  premium  list  provides 
well  for  Fox  terriers,  while  Bull  Terriers  have  only  prizes  for 
challenge  dogs  and  bitches.  This  looks  very  much  like  the 
California  Club's  show,  when  the  special  prizes  were  so 
arranged  that  one  man  would  surely  win  just  what  he  wanted, 
and  when  a  gold  watch  was  to  be  presented  to  him  as  a  sur- 
prise, he  went  and  selected  it  himself  the  day  previous. 
Now,  Mr.  Editor,  such  work  as  this  will  certainly  prevent 
entries  from  being  made  to  all  bench  shows.  And  the  action 
of  the  club  of  changing  judges  that  have  been  selected  for  the 
reason  that  some  few  chronic  kickers  have  seen  fit  to  air  them- 
selves in  public  is,  to  say  the  least,  peculiar.  The  first-named 
judge  had  exposed  some  of  their  dirty  work  to  the  public  for 
them,  or  they  had  found  he  would  not  help  them  out  in  their 
dirty  work,  hence  the  petty  kick.  Some  of  these  same  men 
would  make  likely  candidates  for  poundmasters.  They  now 
have  the  consolation  of  knowiugj  however,  that  they  have 
kept  quite  a  number  of  entries  from  the  show,  but,  of  course, 
they  care  not  for  that;  they  would  rather  break  up  the 
entire  show  than  see  a  local  man  judge.  Fair  Play. 

[We  cannot  endorse  the  entire  contents  of  the  above  letter. 
As  we  have  stated  in  another  column,  their  leaving  out  Irish 
Water  Spaniels  was  unquestionably  an  oversight.  We  can- 
not see  any  reason  for  leaving  Irish  setters  so  entirely  out  in 
the  cold,  and  the  success  of  the  show  would  not  be  jeopar- 
dized if  $5  or  $10  were  offered  in  cocker  spaniel  classes.  We 
think  that  the  greatly  curtailed  premium  list  is  only  through 
a  desire  to  make  their  expenses  as  light  as  possible. — Ed.]

is  liberal  enough  with  two  exceptions,  one  of  which  was 
unquestionably  an  oversight,  classes  are  made  for  Schipperkes 
and  other  breeds  of  like  prominence  but  Irish  Water  Spanipls 
are  among  the  missing.  As  one  of  our  city  handlers  had 
three  of  this  breed  for  Los  Angeles  and  there  are  doubtless 
more,  we  request  the  Southern  Club  to  reconsider  this  ques- 
tion. English  setters  are  given  $3  and  $2  in  open  classes, 
Irish  nothing.  We  know  of  nine  that  were  to  have  been 
sent  from  this  section  alone. 

Greyhounds,  Pointers  and  Fox  Terriers,  are  provided 
with  novice  classes.  Mastiffs,  R.  C.  St.  Bernards,  S.  C.  St. 
Bernards,  Great  Danes,  Greyhounds,  Pointers,  Englesh 
setters  and  Fox  Terriers  are  given  $3  and  $2  cash  prizes  in

The  Oakland  Bench  Show. 


The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Association  met  at  Judge 
Clift's  court  room,  corner  Sth  and  Broadway,  Oakland,  on 
Tuesday  evening  to  decide  upon  holding  a  bench  show,  Pres- 
ident Prather  in  the  chair.  After  the  reading  of  the  minutes 
by  Secretary  Newton  and  the  usual  routine  of  business,  the 
question  of  the  advisability  of  holding  a  bench  show  under 
A.  K.  C.  rules  wasdiscussed  by  the  members  and  visiting  dog 
men.  Capt.  Win.  Poole,  J.  G.  Barker,  L.  L.  Campbell  and 
J.  B.  Martin  spoke  ou  the  subject,  one  and  all  promising  to 
give  it  their  hearty  support.  Mr.  W.  H.  Fores,  of  Alameda, 
President  of  the  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club,  promised  the  club 
the  hearty  co-operation  and  support  of  the  club.  Dr.  Sel- 
fridge,  F.  E.  Miller  and  C.  Burgans  spoke  in  favor  of  the 
show,  aud  thought  that  it  could  not  fail  to  prove  a  pavin» 
venture  if  properly  managed.  A  motion  was  made,  seconded 
and  carried  unauimously,  that  the  club  hold  a  bench  show  in 
the  near  future.  Application  will  be  made  for  membership 
in  the  A.  K.  C.  at  once. 

The  following  members'  were  elected:  Daniel  W.  Olden 
T.  J.  Fish,  W.  H.  Collins,  J.  G.  Barker,  H.  W.  Fores,  Capt.' 
Wm.  Poole,  A.  Bussell  Crowell,  Thos.  Higgs  and  L.  L. 
Campbell. 

A  bench  show  committee  of  seven  members  was  elected 
consisting  of  J  G.  Barker,  T.  J.  F;sh,  F.  E.  Miller,  A  Russell 
Crowell,  Thos.  Higgs,  Wm.  Purcell  and  E.  A.  Sprague. 

The  snow  will  be  held  as  soon  after  the  May  meeting  of  the 
American  Kennel  Club  as  possible  in  the  Tabernacle,  between 
11th  and  12th  and  Webster  and  Harrison  streets,  Oakland. 
The  Tabernacle  is  an  elegant  hall  for  a  show,  being  well 
ventilated,  well  lighted  and  of  ample  size  to  bench  four  or 
five  hundred  dogs.  There  is  a  vacant  lot  adjacent  that  can 
be  used  for  an  exercising  ground  and  the  stage  when  slightly 
enlarged  will  make  an  excellent  judging  ring. 

Mr.  Campbell  suggested  that  each  member  of  the  club  be 
appointed  a  committee  of  one  to  solicit  special  prizes  for  the 
show  and  it  was  so  ordered. 

The  bench  show  committee  met  after  the  adjournment  and 
elected  Mr.  Prather  as  chairman  aud  Mr.  F.  E.  Miller  as 
secretary  of  the  committee. 


ATHLETICS. 


AN    EVENING    "WITH    THE   BOXERS. 


Some  Splendid  Contests    at   the   Olympic  Club 
Tournament. 


"  There  was  the  sound  of  rivalry  at  night  "  when  time  was 
called  for  the  first  bout  in  the  gymnasium  of  the 
Olympic  Club,  on  Monday  evening  last.  The  occasion  was 
the  opening  of  the  grand  midwinter  boxing  tournament,  and 
judging  by  thedeep  interest  taken  in  the  affair  by  those  who 
were  fortunate  enough  to  gain  admission  through  the  portal 
of  the  club  house,  the  appetite  for  pugilistic  pastime  is  not  at 
all  allayed  through  the  scarcity  of  exhibitions.  The  spectators 
of  Monday  evening  were  subjected  to  many  trifling  annoy- 
ances, but  the  shortcomings  were  in  a  great  measure  made  up 
for  by  the  excellent  sport  presented  within  the  ropes.  The 
membership  of  the  club  is  sufficient  to  Jill  the  large  gymnasium 
to  a  comfortable  point,  and  the  issuing  of  several  compli- 
mentary tickets  to  outsiders  was  a  grave  error  on  the  part  of 
the  officials  of  the  club.  Scattered  all  over  the  place  were 
nou-membe*s,  amongst  whom  were  many  representatives  of 
the  regular  prize  ring,  and  owing  to  their  presence  several  of 
the  regular  members  were  obliged  to  stand  while  the  contests 
were  going  on.  It  may  be  all  very  well  to  extend  the  cour- 
tesy of  the  club  to  a  few  prominent  municipal  officials,  but 
the  presence  of  the  "short-haired  "  fraternity  was  not  at  all 
necessary  for  the  success  of  the  tournament.  During  the 
evening  an  effort  was  made  by  "Spider"  Kelly,  the  light- 
weight professional  fighter,  who  gained  admission  on  a  com- 
plimentary ticket,  to  turn  the  gallery  into  a  pool  room.  Kelly 
began  to  set  the  ball  rolling  by  offering  to  bet  twenty  dollars 
even  on  McGinley,  thevoung  Australian,  who  faced  Gilbert 
in  the  light  weights.  The  tournament  was  announced  to  be- 
gin at  S  o'clock,  but  at  that  hour  at  least  four  hundred  men 
were  scrambling  for  admittance  on  the  outside.  The  method 
of  ingress  was  exceedingly  faulty,  only  one  person  being  ad- 
mitted at  the  lime,  and  in  consequence  it  was  fully  nine 
o'clock  before  the  last  man  on  the  outside  was  able  to  pass 
the  gate-keeper.  As  many  of  the  contestants  were  mixed  up 
with  the  incoming  crowd  it  was  found  impossible  to  start  the 
entertainment  until  8:45,  forty-live  minutes  after  the  an- 
nounced time.  There  were  just  euough  bouts  to  occupy  two 
aud  a  half  hours,  and  had  the  mode  of  entrance  been  properly 
looked  after  the  last  contest  would  have  ended  at  10:30  instead 
of  12:20,  which  hour  was  too  late  for  many  of  the  members  to 
remain  until.  Before  entering  into  the  details  of  the  bouts 
it  would  be  well  to  remark  that  the  gentleman  whose  business 
it  is  to  call  out  the  names  and  weights  of  the  contestants 
should  speak  louder  and  not  make  his  announcements  until 
quiet  was  restored.  Jack  Kitchen,  of  the  Acme  Athletic 
Club,  of  Oakland,  was  referee,  and  Messrs.  George  Maxwell 
and  Stewart  Carter  were  the  official  judges.  The  first  pair 
to  step  into  the  riug  were  James  Delaney,  O.  C.  Junior,  and 
W.  Ensbury,  O.  C.  Junior.  These  boxe'rswere  in  the  bantam- 
weight class,  and  weighed  under  115  pounds.  This  bout  was 
very  good,  and  both  lads  proved  themselves  to  be  both  clever 
and  game.  Delauey  outclassed  his  opponent  and  was  awarded 
the  decision. 

The  next  pair  to  make  their  appearance  were  Martin  L. 
Espinosa,  O.  C,  and  Frank  H.  Smith,  O.  C  Junior,  two 
youths  also  in  the  bantam  class.  This  turned  out  to  be  one 
of  the  most  interesting  contests  of  the  evening.  Espinosa  is 
a  very  good  boxer,  having  contested  for  championship  honors 
before,  but  he  could  not  keep  up  the  pace  with  Smith,  who  is 
a  mere  novice,  haying  only  appeared  in  public  once  before. 
Smith  is  a  manly-looking  little  fellow,  and  he  stood  up  to  his 
much  taller  opponent  with  the  confidence  of  *  Corbett.  In 
the  last  round  he  had  things  all  his  own  way,  and  knocked 
Espinosa  down  several  times.  He  was  giveu  the  decision. 
In  Smith  there  is  the  making  of  a  first-class  boxer,  and  with 
more  experience  should  turn  out  to  be  a  champion  in  his 
class,  beiug  naturally  quick  on  his  feet  and  a  good  ring  gen- 
eral.

D.  P.  Whaleo,  O.  0.,  and  H.  E.  Baker,  S.  F.  A.  C,  were 
the  6rst  couple  to  appear  io  the  feather-weight  class.  Each  I 
weighed  under  125  pounds.  Their  contest  was  verv  spirited,  ' 
Baker  appearing  to  possess  the  greatest  amount  of  science.  It 
was  verv  even  throughout,  however,  and  at  the  end  of  the  : 
fourth  round  the  judges  decided  that  an  extra  round  would  . 
be  necessary  to  prove  which  had  won  the  greatest  number  of 
points.  The  decision  was  very  justly  given  in  favor  of  Baker, 
who  is  a  verv  clever  little  fellow. 

The  nest  pair  to  compete  in  this  class  were  M.  P.  Hayes, 
O.  C.  Junior,  and  Nick  Gallick,  whose  name  did  not  appear 
on  ihe  programme,  but  who  acted  as  substitute  for  Wells 
Birdsdall,  S.  F.  A .  C.  The  latter  was  overweight  and  could  not 
appear.  Gallick  jumped  around  his  opponent  in  great  shape 
and  got  in  some  very  good  work,  but  the  judges  decided  to 
award  the  coDtest  to  Hayes,  who  did  the  most  effectual  lead- 
ing. A  smile,  a  titter  and  then  a  roar  of  laughter  that  shook 
the  very  rafters  went  round  the  house  when  A.  Reardon,  O. 
C.,  230  pounds,  made  his  appearance  to  contest  for  heavy- 
weight honors  with  J.  F.  Miller,  S.  F.  A.  C,  188.  The  latter 
was  tall  and  gaunt,  while  Miller  looked  like  a  modern  Fal- 
staff,  with  rounded  paunch  and  overhaoging  chest.  Confi- 
dential whispers  immediately  began  to  circulate  about  the 
fat  man,  and  in  very  few  minutes  he  was  Sandow,  dullivan 
out  of  condition,  etc.  He  made  a  game  battle  in  the  first 
round  despite  his  condition,  however,  but  from  that  on  the 
lack  of  training  began  to  tell,  and  he  was  completely  at  the 
mercy  of  his  opponent,  who  gave  him  some  very  hard 
punches.  In  the  fourth  round  Reardon,  completely  blown, 
gave  up,  and  contented  himself  by  walking  around  the  ring 
with  his  back  turned  towards  Miller,  who  punched  where  he 
liked  and  as  often  as  he  liked,  and  would  have  ended  by 
knocking  his  man  senseless  had  not  the  referee  and  seconds 
dragged  him  away. 

Some  time  ago  the  Athletic  Committee  of  the  Olympic 
Club  decided  that  in  future  no  unattached  boxer  would  be  al- 
lowed to  take  part  in  their  exhibitions,  and  as  a  result  every 
man  whose  name  appeared  on  the  programme  on  Monday 
evening  had  attached  to  his  name  the  club  which  he  repre- 
sented. The  programme  was  "stuffed,"  huwever.  and  some 
of  the  contestants  were  "  unattached,"  although  the  initials 
O.  C.  were  at  the  end  of  their  names.  Some  of  the  members 
who  were  on  the  inside  track  of  the  club's  affairs  made  a  big 
kick  because  Reardon  was  credited  with  being  a  member  of 
club.  He  is  not  a  member,  nor  does  he  belong  to  any  club. 
He  is  simply  a  big,  strapping  roustabout  who  has  boxed  with 
several  of  the  leading  professional  fighters  all  over  the 
United  States,  and  whose  strength  and  size  attracted  the  at- 
tention of  the  Boxing  Committee.  The  event  of  the  evening 
was  the  bout  between  J-  A.  McGinley,  late  of  Australia,  and 
Frank  Gilbert,  O.  C,  both  light  weights.       Prior  to  this  con- 


test it  was  generally  believed  that  McGinley  would  make 
short  work  of  Gilbert,  the  surmise  being  founded  mainly  on 
the  fact  tbat  the  former  was  from  Australia,  the  land  of  the 
born  pugilist.  McGioley  did  not  win  after  all,  and  those 
whose  faith  had  been  pinned  in  him  beforehand  sent  up  a 
howl  of  disapproval  when  the  referee  announced  that  Gilbert 
had  won  the  contest  and  the  prize.  The  contest  between  the 
two  was  grand,  McGinley  apparently  getting  in  the  most 
blows,  but  Gilbert  undoubtedly  did  the  most  leading, 
and  as  that  counted  for  something  he  was  given  the  decision. 
McGinley  is  a  very  clever  little  fellow,  to  be  sure,  but  bis 
style  savors  too  much  of  the  professional,  and  it  was  mainly 
owing  to  his  many  tricky  ways  that  he  lost  the  contest.  Gil- 
bert tried  to  keep  the  center  of  the  ring,  but  his  Australian 
opponent  preferred  the  running-around-the-ring  style  of 
fighting,  facing  his  man  only  when  he  thought  he  saw  an 
opening.  In  amateur  boxing  matches  where  the  rounds  are 
limited  the  man  who  stands  squarely  and  faces  his  opponent 
should  be  favored  most  bv  the  judges. 

F.  G.  Phillips,  O.  C,  and  Geo.  Eckhardt,  0.  C,  were  the 
only  aspirants  in  the  welter-weight  class.and  their  bout,  while 
it  pleased  most  of  the  spectators,  was  a  very  crude  exhibition. 
But  little  science  was  displayed  by  either  man,  and  in  the 
second  round  good  luck  favored  Eckhardt,  for  he  found  an 
opening  and  dropped  his  opponent,  completely  knocking  him 
out.  This  contest  was  nothing  more  than  a  slogging  match 
and  such  men  should  not  be  allowed  to  to  entertain  the  mem- 
bers of  any  respectable  club.  Middle-weights  M.  Tiedemann, 
O.  C,  and  P.  J.  Finn,  O.  C,  entertained  the  on-lookers  with  a 
hot  rally  and  the  former  won  the  prize  and  bout.  Smith  and 
Delaney  met  for  the  final  in  the  bamtam-weight  class  and  the 
former  bad  another  good  thing  of  it,  easily  getting  away  with 
the  bout  and  first  prize.  Miller,  the  conqueror  of  Falstaff 
Reardon,  in  order  to  win  a  prize  had  to  face  J.  Torbrinor, 
O.  C-  in  a  four-round  bout.  In  the  second  round  Torbrinor 
was  floored  with  a  terrific  blow  in  the  jaw  and  was  as  good  as 
out  when  Miller,  in  the  excitement  of  the  moment,  forgot  the 
rules  that  govern  ring  contests  and  struck  his  opponent  again 
while  he  was  down.  The  referee  could  do  nothing  else  but 
award  the  contest  to  Tobrinor.  On  the  whole  the  tournament 
was  a  qualified  success  and  the  quality  of  the  sport  was  far 
superior  to  tbat  witnessed  at  many  previous  exhibitions. 

Arphifpos. 

Peter  Brandow's  fine  Secretary  yearling  colt  out  of 
Foxie  V.  died  last  week  of  pneumonia.  Mr.  Brandow  had

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Term.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08J,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or

in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake.

phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eollst  and  Eou.  Eolus,  St.  Savour's  sire, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  Ave  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  immortal  Leamlng-

Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stockwell), 
bred  in  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satanella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  In  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap),  five  furlongs,  beating  a  field  oi 
fourteen  good  ones ;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
KImbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and

by  Thormanby- Actress  colt ;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  it  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  live  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.    SERVICE  FEE,  87.V

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  aud  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaitlug,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St  Bel,  says  of 
thlBbook:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  it  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  hands  ol  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

proven  that  it  simply  acts  as  a  poul- 
tice and  draws  all  of  the  natural  oil  of 
horses  feet  to  the  surface,  which  weak- 
ens them  and  in  time  makes  the  hoof 
hard,  dry,  brittle,  and  stops  the  growth. 
There  is  nothing:  that  is  not  liable

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


SIXTY-FIRST  DAY — FRIDAY,  MAECH  30. 


r~~  HERE  was  a  marked  change  for 
the  better  to-day  in  the  running  of 
the  horses.  The  form-players  were 
at  the  bat  nearly  all  the  afternoon, 

"- 


elusion  of  the  6fth  race.  Four  first 
choices  won  in  rapid  succession 
and  the  pencilers'  gold  piles  were 
materially  lessened  when  the  crowd 
left  for  home.  The  fastest  mile  of 
the  meeting  and  also  the  speediest 
sis  furlongs  were  run  to-day,  Seville  going  the  former  route 
in  1:41[  and  Happy  Day  the  ful  sis  furlongs  in  1:1 3|.  Riley 
Grannan  must  have  cleaned  up  fully  $15,000  on  the  after- 
noon's work,  winning  on  four  of  the  five  events.  He  is  "on 
velvet"  again  to  the  estent  of  perhaps  $10,000. 

Charley  Weber  had  four  mounts  to-day.  He  won  three  of 
them  and  was  third  in  the  remaining  race,  a  showing  in  the 
saddle  not  beaten  during  either  meeting.  Isom  and  Sloan 
rode  one  winner  apiece. 

Crawford  had  a  easy  thing  of  it  in  the  first  race,  Chevy 
Chase  being  scratched  on  account  of  Carr  having  to  ride 
Flagstaff.  Crawford  came  away  as  they  neared  the  home- 
stretch, simply  cantering  in  a  winner  by  four  lengths  in  the 
good  time  of  1:02.  Little  Frank  (who  was  played  some) 
finished  second,  and  the  outsider,  Cherokee,  third. 

Gasser,  a  hot  favorite,  got  away  third  to  Canta  and  Venus 
in  the  second  event,  passed  the  pair  in  the  first  sixteenth, 
and  won  easily  by  two  lengths  from  Model,  who  beat  Venus 
out  at  the  wind-up  for  the  place. 

Seville  and  Red  Root  were  backed  for  thousands  in  the 
nest  race,  the  former  closing  a  slight  favorite.  She*  raced 
away  in  front  almost  from  the  fall  of  the  flag,  opening  up  a 
gap  of  eight  lengths  in  the  half.  Seville  came  back  to  her 
field  as  they  neared  the  homestretch,  and  a  sixteenth  from 
home  Red  Root  got  within  two  lengths  of  tbe  flying  little 
filly.  She  went  away  from  him  again  for  a  few  strides,  and 
then  he  came  after  her  at  a  wonderful  rate.  He  closed  up  like 
a  shot,  but  Seville  finally  won  by  less  than  two  inches,  with 
Victress  off  two  and  one-half  leogths,  in  the  fast  time  of 
1:41',, 

In  the  iourth  race  DeEracey  was  the  choice  of  the  talent, 
and  he  rewarded  his  admirers  by  winning  easily  by  three 
lengths,  after  waiting  on  Chemuck  and  Catch  'Em  until 
Bearing  the  homestretch. 

Happy  Day  took  tbe  last  race  intocampbya  neck,  winning 
in  the  last  stride  from  Romair.  The  little  brown  gelding  was 
absolutely  last  three  furlongs  from  home.  Motto  and  Middle- 
ton  fought  to  the  homestretch,  the  pair  dying  away  in  the  last 
sixteenth  very  badly.  The  time  was  1:13}  for  the  full  six  fur- 
[  longs,  the  fastest  race  at  the  distance  this  season.

Little  Frank  and  Mount  Carlos  ran  head  and  head   past  the 
half,  but  as  they  neared  the  homestretch  Crawford  drew  away. 
Mount  Carlos  began  dropping  back  and  Little  Frank  moved 
up  some.     It  was  a  mere  gallop   for  Crawford,  who   won  by 
four  lengths,  Little  Frank  second,  about  three   from  Chero- 
kee, third.     Time,  1:02.

from  15  to  200  to  1.  Canta  got  ofl'  first  to  a  flying  start, 
Venus  second,  Gasser  third.  Canta  opened  up  a  gap  of 
couple  of  lengths  in  the  first  100  yards,  but  Gasser  went  by 
her  in  the  next  few  jumps  like  a  shot,  leading  into  the  home- 
stretch by  two  lengths,  Venus  passing  Canta  three  furlongs 
from  home,  and  being  second  into  the  homestretch,  three 
leogths  from  the  Rose  filly.  Gasser  was  not  thereafter  mo- 
lested, and  woo,  with  Charley  Weber  sitting  still,  by  two 
lengths,  Model  coming  up  in  the  last  sisteenth  and  beating 
Venus  two  lengths  for  the  place.  Time,  0:50.  Riley  Gran-

LWinner  trained  by  R.Colston  Jr.] 
Seville,  played  for  thousands,  was  a  favorite  at  the  close  at 
6  to  5.  Red  Root,  also  well  supported,  was  at  8  to  5.  The 
odds  againet  the  others  were  :  7  to  1  Francesca,  8  to  1  Vic- 
tress and  Revolver,  50  to  1  Haymarket.  Revolver,  Red  Root, 
Seville  was  the  order  at -the  start.  Seville  set  the  pace,  the 
others  being  restrained  somewhat.  At  the  quarter  Seville  led 
by  sis  lengths,  Revolver  second,  two  lengths  from  Francesca, 
third.  The  run  to  the  half  was  a  terrific  one,  Seville  increas- 
ing her  lead  a  couple  of  lengths,  the  second  quarter  being 
run  in  0:23' .  Francesca  had  come  up  second  and  Red  Root 
third,  half  a  length  behind  the  Holly  mare.  Seville  came 
back  to  her  field  fast  as  they  neared  the  homestretch,  where 
she  was  leading  but  two  leogths,  Red  Root  second,  half  a 
length  from  Francesca,  who  was  a  length  from  Victres,  the 
last-named  moving  fast.  Seville  held  her  own  up  to  the  last 
120'yards.  Here  Carr  called  on  Red  Root,  and  although  he 
gained  fast,  the  rush  was  a  trifle  too  late,  and  Seville  won  by 
a  nose  in  1:41  J,  Victress  third,  two  and  one-half  lengths  away. 
Time  by  quarters— 0:26,  0:-19},l:14L  The  first  five-eighths 
was  run  in  1:011.  E.  C.  Holly  ran  Seville  up  $000— her

was  now  coming  fast.  In  the  nest  sisteenth  DeBracev  had 
collared  Catch  'Em,  Chemuck  falling  back  and  Normandie 
moving  up.  De  Bracey  was  an  easy  winner  by  three  lengths,

["Winner  trained  by  M.  J.  Kelly.]- 
Motto  was  a  well-supported  favorite  at  2  to  1.  Middleton 
was  at  3  to  1,  Duke  Stevens  and  Happy  Day  at  6  to  1  each, 
the  latter  played  all  around  the  ring  by  Grannan.  Romair 
was  at  8,  El  Reno  9,  Trix  20  to  1.  To  a  good  start  the  order 
was  Middleton,  Dube  Stevens,  Romair,  Motto.  Motto  passed 
Middleton  in  the  fiist  furlong,  and  led  him  a  length  at  the 
half-pole,  Romair  three  lengths  back,  Duke  Stevens  nest, 
swervins  badly.  Happy  Day  was  last.  Motto  pulled  away 
from  Middleton  in  the  run  to  the  homestretch,  which  she 
entered  first  by  two  lengths,  Middleton  second,  as  far  from 
Trix,  on  whom  Romair  was  lapped.  "  They  can't  catch 
Motto,"  was  the  shout  that  went  up-as  they  got  straightened 
out  and  Middleton  could  not  get  up.  Motto  was  the  leader 
to  within  a  sisteenth  of  the  end,  then  Romair  looked  all  over 
a  winner.  A  little  brown  fellow  was  coming  like  a  shot

SIXTY-SECOND  DAY — SATURDAY,  MARCH  31. 

Saturday  was  a  [notable  day  in  California's  racing  history 
and  appreciated  to  the  fullest  by  a  concourse  of  fully  6,000 
lovers  of  equine  sport.  Six  races  were  carded,  and  every 
one  proved  interesting  in  the  extreme.  President  Thomas 
H.  Williams  won  the  steeplechase  for  gentlemen  riders 
with  ease,  though  Frank  Skinner  rode  hard  on  Trince 
Idle.  America,  England  and  Canada  were  represented. 
Owing  to  dizziness,  El  Dorado's  pilot,  Carlisle  Norwood  Jr., 
fell  off  almost  as  soon  as  the  homestretch  was  reached,  and 
at  a  time  when  the  gray  horse  he  bestrode  was  looming  up  as 
a  dangerous  candidate  for  first  honors.  Happily  Mr.  Nor- 
wood was  not  seriously  injured,  though  he  remained  insensi- 
ble for  some  minutes.  The  misfortune  of  Mr.  Norwood  was 
a  streak  of  good  luck  for  the  attenuated  representative  of  the 
land  of  John  Bull,  Talbot  Clifton.  The  way  he  flourished 
his  arms  and  the  brown  and  gold  hoops  around  coming  down 
that  homestretch  was  dazzling  and  threw  the  crowd  into 
spasms  of  mirth.  And  when  he  had  finished  third  and  rolled 
his  210  pounds  of  British  brawn  off  the  dizzy,  tired  old 
Guadaloupe  onto  ibe  dusty  homestretch,  remounted  and  rode 
to  the  stand  with  a  satisfied  smile  on  his  eood-nalurtd  face, 
the  onlookers  fairly  ivent  wild,  their  laughter  shaking  Lone 
Mountain  ano  re-echoing  on  Strawberry  Hill.  All  joking 
aside,  Mr.  Clifton  rode  well.  Mr.  Williams  cannot  get 
up  too  many  contests  of  this  sort.  The  lovers  of 
racing  would  wax  fat  on  laughter  and  good  nature.  Even 
outside  of  this  the  sport  was  excellent.  Zenobia  broke  the 
five-furlong  record  held  for  over  two  years  by  Fox,  running 
the  route  in  1:00},  and  doing  it  quite  easily  too.  Incident- 
ally she  defeated  the  best  lot  of  sprinters  that  ever  faced  r

starter  in  California.  The  talent  had  a  great  day  of  it,  out  of 
six  eveuts  five  favorites  and  a  second  choice  capturing  first 
money.  Carr  rode  two  winners,  Bozenian,  T.  H.  Williams 
.1  r..  I  sum  and  Miller  one  each. 

Midget,  the  favorite,  got  away  third,  and  was  in  front  ere 
fifty  yards  had  been  run.  The  brown  Australian  mare,  Yar- 
ranabee,  stuck  close  to  Midget  until  the  homestretch  was 
reached,  when  Pats;  '  »'  Neil  and  Reno  came  through  and  gave 
.Midget  something  of  a  tussle.  She  won  handily,  however,  by 
about  three  parts  of  a  length  from  the  30  to  1  shot,  Patsy 
O'Neil,  on  whom  Keno  was  lapped.  The  latter  was  on"  tirst, 
but  not  well  on  bis  stride. 

Braw  Sl-o'.,  a  :'>  to  ■"•  favorite,  running  for  the  first  time  in 
Barfte?  Schreiber's  colors,  led  nearly  all  the  vay  in  the  sec- 
ond race,  winning  easily  by  three  purls  of  a  length  from  Clac- 
quer, a  1-5  to  1  chance,  with  St.  Croix  third. 

Imp.  Candid,  the  beautiful  black  tilly  recently  purchased 
by  A.  B.  Spreekels  at  the  Lopez  sale,  won  the  mile  and  a 
quarter  handicap  in  hue  style  in  the  good  time  of  2:0Si, 
stalling  of  Gilead's  great  rush  in  the  ganiest  fashn-n.  Gilead 
led  io  tie  three-quarter  pule,  where  Candid  moved  up  like  a 
Hash  and  passed  him,  leading  by  over  a  length  a  furlong  from 
ith  C;irr  titling  still  on  the  black  tilly.  Gilead  came 
at  her  about  100  yards  at  the  finish,  but  Carr  got  Candid  go- 
ing well  enough  to  win  in  a  desperate  drive  by  a  head.  Mr. 
R  E.  >Ie  l».  LopeZ]  who  brought  Candid  to  this  country, 
always  contended  that  she  was  a  racer  of  no  mean  ability, 
and  the  run  of  to-day  would  indicate  that  he  was  justified  in 
Disclaims.  She  is  worth  twice  the  sum  paid  frr  her  ($3,000). 
Good  as  she  showed  to-day  tinder  Cy  Mulkey's  skillful  hand- 
ling, she  is  still  not  quite  at  her  best,  because  he  has  not  had 
her  long  enough.  Gilead,  the  runner-up,  bids  fair  to  be  a 
crackerjack  also.  We  hope  he  will  win  the  Kentucky 
Derby  of  1894  for  Wilber  F.Smith.  He  is  bred  to  go  the 
route,  being  by  the  mighty  St.  Saviour  (son  of  Eolns),  dam 
Mistake,  by  Wildidle;  second  dam  the  great  Katy  Pease,  by 
Planet. 

Zenobia  waited  on  Lottie  D.  and  Annie  Mayes  until  the 
homestretch  was  reached  (where  she  was  a  couple  of  lengths 
behind),  and  then  came  ou  and  woo  easily  by  a  length,  witli 
Royal  Flush,  coming  like  a  shot,  second  over  a  leDgth  from 
Lottie  f». 

The  Brutus-Bessie  colt  led  all  the  way  in  the  last  event, 
Malo  Diablo  getting  the  place.

Midget  was  an  8  to  5  favorite.  Reno  was  played  from  3 
down  to  2  to  1,  then  receded  to  2^  to  1.  Monowai  was  at  7 
to  ],  imp.  Yarranabbee  (her  first  start)  S,  Patsy  O'Neil  30  to 
1, others  from  12  to  60  to  1.  Reno  was  first  when  the  flag  fell, 
but  not  well  on  his  stride,  Midget  soon  rushing  to  the  front, 
attended  closely  by  Yarranabbee  to  the  homestretch,  Patsy 
O'Neil  third  and  Reno  fourth.  O'Neil  and  Reno  tried  hard 
to  catch  the  wee  daughter  of  Little  Alp,  but  the  best  Patsy 
was  able  to  do  was  run  her  to  within  a  length,  with  Reno 
third,  close  up,  two  lengths  in  front  of  imp.  Yarranabbee. 
Time,l:01|.  <  >'Neil's  good  form  was  surprising.  He  is  evi- 
dently a  high-class  sprinter  that  had  been  saved  to  make  a 
killing.    He  struck  a  snag  in  Midget,  however.

For  quite  a  time  it  was  even  money  Templemore  and 
Prince  Idle  and  take  your  pick,  20  to  1  the  other  two.  Coin 
thrown  in  toward  post-time  made  Templemore  a  9  to  10  fa- 
vorite, the  odds  against  Prince  Idle  going  up  to  6  to  5.  Frank 
Skinner,  mounted  on  Prince  Idle,  and  representing  Canada, 
is  the  first  to  emerge  from  the  paddock.  He  looks  pale  but 
determined  as  he  canters  his  horse  past  the  judges'  stand  and 
receives  a  rally  from  the  members  of  the  press  and  ladies. 
Then  comes  Carlisle  Norwood  on  Baldwin's  gray  colt,  El 
Dorado,  looking  as  confident  of  success  as  Patti.  Now  comes 
England's  representative,  Talbot  Clifton,  astride  of  poor  old 
Guadaloupe.  Clifton  is'  certainly  big  enough  to  represent 
Russia,  and  he  looked  as  proud  as  that  country's  ruler  is  sup- 
posed to  be.  The  reception  accorded  the  first  two  gentlemen 
was  as  a  Mission  warm  belt  zephyr  to  a  Kansas  cyclone.  The 
surrounding  hills  echoed  to  the  silvery  laughter  of  the  ladies 
and  the  guffaws  of  the  male  population  surrounding  the 
track.  Last  but  not  least  comes  Thomas  H.  Williams  Jr.  and 
Templemore,  the  favorite.  His  jockey  cap  is  cocked  jauntily 
on  his  head,  and  his  face  wears  a  can't-lose-me-Charley  smile 
as  he  bows  right  and  left  to  his  friends  and  goes  to  the  start- 
ing point  in  the  enclosure.  At  the  second  break  they  are 
sent  away  to  a  good  start,  the  order  being  Prince  Idle,  El 
Dorado,  Templemore,  Guadaloupe.  Strange  to  relate  and  to 
the  great  relief  of  the  spectators,  there  was  no  accident  at 
the  water  jump,  the  first  obstacle  encountered.  Prince  Idle 
leads  Templemore  a  head,  and  El  Dorado  is  half  a  length 
away  and  two  lengths  in  front  of  Guadaloupe.  At  the  second 
jump  Templemore  is  leading  Prince  Idle  half  a  length  and 
Skinner  is  riding  Prince  Idle,  who  does  not  jump  as  cleanly 
as  the  favorite.  El  Dorado  is  two  lengths  away  and  six  in 
front  of  old  Guadaloupe.  Templemore  and  Prince  Idle  go 
over  the  far  center-field  obstacle  head  and  head,  but  Temple- 
more is  clearly  the  quickest  on  his  feet,  and  gains  about  three 
lengths  as  they  go  up  the  hill  to  the  homestretch.  All  clear 
the  next  jump,  and  EI  Dorado  gains  fast  on  the  leading  pair. 
Almost  as  soon  as  the  turn  is  made  into  the  regular  track 
Norwood,  on  El  Dorado,  is  observed  to  fall,  just  as  the  horse 
rushes  up  close  to  Templemore,  and  the  rider  does  not  rise. 
El  Dorado  goes  on  riderless.  About  two  lengths  separate 
Templemore  and  Prince  Idle  at  the  final  obstacle,  Guadaloupe 
third,  his  rider  urging  his  fiery  steed  with  voice  and  arms 
and  swinging  body  until  the  crowd  is  well-nigh  dead  with 
laughter.  Templemore  had  too  much  speed  for  Prince  Idle, 
and  President  Williams  rode  too  well  to  be  caught,  and 
although  Frank  Skinner  urged  his  mount  desperately,  it  was 
of  no  avail,  Templemore  finishing  first  by  four  lengths, 
Prince  Idle  second,  ten  lengths  from  Guadaloupe,  third.  The 
effort  has  been  too  much  for  Mr.  Clifton,  and  he  relaxes  his 
hold  and  rolls  off  Guadaloupe  about  100  yards  past  the  fin- 
ishing point,  holding  to  the  bridle,  however.  His  horse  is 
too  tired  to  run  away,  and  the  leviathan  Britisher  gamely  re- 
mounts and  comes  back  to  the  stand,  his  brown  and  gold 
hoops  a  trifle  dusty  but  not  dishonored.  The  lime  was  1:56}, 
breaking  the  record.  The  best  horse  won,  and  Mr.  Williams 
rode  admirably.

ened out  in  the  homestretch  Zenobia  is  cut  loose,  and  a  six- 
teenth from  home  has  Lottie  D.  beaten.  Royal  Flush  is 
coming  like  a  shot  from  the  bunch,  and  Zenobia  is  shaken  up 
just  a  little  to  win  by  a  length  from  Royal  Flush,  who  beat 
Lottie  D.  a  trifle  over  a  length.  The  time  is  1:00 J,  beating 
Fox's  record  a  tenth  of  a  second.  Zenobia  could  have  run  the

FIRST   PAY   SritlNG    MEETING — TUESDAY,    APRIL   3. 

Form-players  writhed  in  intense  agony  this  grand  after- 
noon, marking  the  opening  of  the  spring  meeting.  Five  fav- 
orites in  rapid  succession  were  mowed  down,  and  it  would 
indeed  be  hard  to  find  a  single  student  that  did  not  go  home 
with  a  heavy  heart  and  a  flattened  pocket-book.  The  nearest 
approach  to  a  winner  "  on  form  "  was  in  the  first  race,  when 
Pat  Murphy,  a  well-supported  second  choice,  got  home  a  nose 


I  injfront.  of  Sea  Spray.  The  track  was  in  excellent  shape,  and 
the  time  made  in  every  event  was  fast.  There  were  two  close 
finishes,  and  throughout  the  racing  was  exciting,  even  if  the 
favorites  did  not  run  up  to  ''form." 

Pat  Murphy  won  the  initial  race  by  a  nose  from  Sea  Spray, 
with  Malo  Diablo  third.  Sea  Spray  was  flrst  away,  but  Pat 
Murphy  was  in  front  ere  fifty  yards  had  been  run.  He  con- 
tinued in  front  up  to  the  last  sixteenth,  where  the  favorite 
joined  him,  and  in  a  ding-dong  battle  Carr  landed  Murphy 
winner  by  the  smallest  of  margins,  Malo  Diable  third,  two 
and  one  half  lengths  oflf. 

Nellie  Gr.,  a  25  to  1  shot  at  one  time,15  to  1  at  the  close.led 
all  the  way  in  the  second  'race,  winning  handily  by  a  length 
from  Inferno,  who  came  from  the  rear  and  beat  the  poorly- 
ridden  favorite,  Rear  Guard,  a  neck  for  the  place.  A  large 
sum  went  glimmering  on  the  chances  of  George  Rose's  colt 
who  got  a  .vay  second  and  was  taken  back  into  the  bunch  be- 
fore they  had  run  a  furlong. 

North,  a  7  to  1  chance,  took  the  third  race  into  camp,  with 
Romair,  the  favorite,  second.  Sir  Reginald  led  until  reaching 
the  homestretch,  when  North  took  up  the  running,  not  to 
beheaded.  Crawford  came  fast  at  the  finish,  and  got  third 
place. 

Zaragoza,  at  3}  to  1, secured  first  honors  in  the  mile  race, 
trailing  until  making  the  final  turn,  and  then  comiog  with  a 
rush.  Bridal  Veil,  the  favorite,  was  second,  beaten  a  length, 
while  Happy  Band,  last  into  the  homestretch,  was  third,  three 
lengths  behind  Bridal  Veil. 

The  last  race  of  the  day  went  to  Trix,  who  was  a  15  to  1 
shot  at  one  time,  10  to  1  at  the  post.  Border  Lassie,  the  first 
choice,  led  to  a  winner.  Trix,  who  was  last  at  the  last  turn, 
came  through  like  a  shot,  close  against  the  rails,  and  won  in 
a  hard  drive  by  half  a  length  from  Whitestone.  Norraandie, 
lastatthe  flag-fall,  was  third,  over  two  lengths  off.  Trix  was 
played  for  a  killing  by  his  owner,  it  is  said,  though  the  gen- 
eral public  had  no  reasonable  excuse  to  back  him,  in  view  of 
his  recent  rather  poor  showing. 

Carr,  Isom,  Chevalier,  Tuberville  and  Sloan  were  the  suc- 
cessful pilots  of  the  day.  Isom  bringing  in  the  longest  shot 
among  a  lot  of  long  shots.

Border  Lassie  was  a  slight  favorite,  her  closiog  odds  being 
7  to  5.  Normandie  was  at  S  to  5  (backed  down  from  2  to  1), 
Whitestone  and  Ravine  6  each,  Trix  10  to  1  (as  good  as  15  at 
one  time).  Trix,  Ravine,  Border  Lassie,  Whitestone,  Nor- 
mandie  was  the  order  to  a  fair  start.  Border  Lassie  led  at 
the  half-pole  by  a  length,  Ravine  second,  two  leDgths  from 
Trix,  od  whom  Normandie  was  lapped,  Whitestone  last.  At 
the  final  turn  Border  Lassie  was  leading  by  a  head,  White 
stone  second  (having  run  up  from  last  place),  a  length  in  front 
of  Normandie.  Trix  was  last,  but  made  a  close  turn,  and  was 
soon  up  in  the  bunch.  Border  Lassie  had  enough  as  soon  as 
they  were  straightened  out  in  the  homestretch,  and  White- 
stone appeared  to  have  the  race  well  in  hand  half-way  down 
the  straight.  Trix  was  coming  like  a  cyclone,  however,  close 
against  the  inner  rails,  and  100  yards  from  the  finish  stole  up 
to  the  leader.  There  was  a  hard  drive,  but  Trix  sailed  in  a 
winner  by  half  a  length.  Whitestone,  second,  was  about  two 
and  one-balf  leogths  from  Normandie,  who  was  clear  of 
Border  Lassie.    Time,  1:13£.

A  Petaluma  Driving  Club  Proposed. 

A  new  acquisition,  and  one  from  which  tbe  projectors  anti* 
cipate  much  pleasure  as  well  as  benefit,  and  which  will,  if 
successfully  carried  out  as  proposed,  afford  unlimited  pleas- 
ure and  amusement  for  those  who  are  interested  in  the  mat- 
ter, is  now  being  very  seriously  discussed  by  a  large  number 
of  our  local  lovers  of  fine  horseflesh. 

The  scheme  in  question  is  the  organization  in  this  city  of  a 
gentlemen's  driving  club  such  as  nearly  every  city  of  impor- 
tance, or  at  least  every  city  at  which  there  is  a  race  course 
supports,  and  in  Petaluma,  which  is  noted  for  its  fine  horses 
and  turnouts,  and  which  possesses  a  greater  number  and  a 
better  grade  of  road  horses  than  anv  city  of  its  size  on  tbe 
coast,  the  plan  is  not  only  feasible  but  is  positive  of  success. 

W.  E.  Bowen,  the  well-known  and  populor  lessee  of  the 
Agricultural  park,  is  the  promoter  of  the  scheme,  and  from 
him  it  was  learned  that  every  gentleman  approached  on  the 
subject  is  heartily  in  favor  of  the  idea,  and  tbere  is  no  doubt 
but  tb2t  a  club  will  be  organized,  beginning  with  a  member- 
ship of  about  fifty  persons,  and  when  once  inaugurated  it  is 
expected  that  this  n.imber  will  be  increased,  when  it  is  taken 
into  consideration  that  this  city  can  boast  of  several  hundred 
citizens  who  own  good  road  horses,  and  many  of  these  in  fact 
possess  several,  amoDg  the  lot  there  beiog  some  very  speedy 
travelers. 

It  is  understood  that  F.  M.  Collins,  W.  E.  Bowen,  Drs. 
Reed  and  Proctor,  John  Lawler,Chas.  Northrup,  R  S.  Brown, 
J.  B.  Hinkle,  and  indeed  a  long  list  of  horse  lovers,  have 
manifested  their  willingness  to  take  an  active  interest  In  the 
club,  and  if  they  do  so,  the  success  of  the  organization  is  as- 
sured. 

It  is  proposed  to  regularly  organize  the  club,  elect  officers 
and  adopt  a  regular  code  of  by-laws  and  constitution. 

A  certain  amount  of  dues  payable  per  month  will  be  de- 
cided upon  which  will  go  toward  establishing  a  fund  which 
will  be  in  charge  of  a  regularly  elected  treasurer  aod  which 
will  once  each  month  be  expended  for  trophies,such  as  whips, 
robes,  harness, blankets,medals  or  similar  appropriate  articles, 
which  will  be  offered  as  prizes  for  the  winners  of  races,  to  be 
held  at  Agricultural  Park,  the  drivers  of  said  races  to  be 
members  of  the  club,  and  they  must  be  owners  of  the  horses 
which  they  drive  in  said  races. 

It  is  intended  that  these  contests  be  held  either  once  or 
twice  each  month,  as  shall  be  determined  upon  by  the  officers 
of  the  club  after  its  regular  aod  permanent  organization,  and 
there  will  be  no  admission  charged  to  the  races,  unless  the 
club  should,  on  certain  occasions,  decide  to  impose  a  nominal 
gate  fee,  which  will  be  devoted  to  charitable  purposes. 

Nothing  professional  will  be  tolerated  at  these  speed  con- 
tests. Both  drivers  and  animals  must  be  amateurs,  and  any 
member  attempting  to  smuggle  in  a  "ringer"  will  be  pun- 
ished by  such  penalty  as  the  rules  of  the  club  will  signify, 
and  it  is  certain  that  the  by-laws  will  contain  a  clause  apper- 
taining to  the  above. 

Everybody  will,  of  course,  flock  to  the  race  track  when  the 
contests  take  place,  and  the  driving  club  will  at  once  spring 
into  the  public  favor,  not  only  among  horsemen,  but 
among  the  citizeos  at  large,  and  will  also  tend  toward 
causing  our  horse  owners  to  improve  their  horse  flesh, 
and  each  will  endeavor  to  possess  the  speediest  animal,  thus 
raising  the  standard  of  our  local  driving  animals  and  road- 
sters. 

It  is  hoped  that  the  plans  of  the  projectors  will  be  consum- 
mated and  that  tbe  matter  will  not  be  allowed  to  drop,  but 
that  it  will  be  taken  in  charge  by  the  proper  persons  and 
successfully  carried  out,  for  it  is  indeed  a  very  good  idea. —

General    Treatment    of   "Wounds. 


The  visitor  to  Walnut  Grove  in  the  days  when  Alden 
Goldsmith  was  proving  his  faith  in  the  Volunteers,  would 
scarcely  know  the  old  homestead,  if  he  re-visited  it,  for  its 
present  master,  John  A.  Goldsmith,  is  working  a  great  trans- 
formation. The  buildings  are  enlarged  and  improved.  A 
quarter-mile  track  encircles  the  stables.  It  is  bedded  and 
drained  with  stones  and  covered  deep  with  sandy  soil,  so  that 
driving  goes  on  in  rainy  and  muddy  weather,  says  The 
Horseman. 

Twenty-four  head  of  horses  are  in  active  training  and  ten 
more  will  arrive  from  California  about  April  1.  Among  the 
number  in  course  of  preparation  are  three  two-year-olds  and 
an  equal  number  of  three  aod  four-year-olds.  There  is  a  fast 
green  mare  by  Guy  Wilkes  that  will  be  introduced  to  the  best 
society  the  coming  season.  Tbe  name  of  Goldsmith  will  be 
handed  down  from  sire  to  son,  as  Young  Alden,  son  of  James, 
is  assisting  his  uncle,  and  another  competent  trainer  will  be- 
gin work  when  the  Califonrians  reach  there.  John  will  se- 
lect about  eighteen  and  start  out  June  15  to  begin  his  cam- 
paign at  Boston.  Among  tbe  slippery-going  ones  are  the  four-

Whatever  form  of  wound  we  are  called  upon  to  treat  we 
should  proceed  to  attend  to  four  points,  to-wit :  First,  to  stop 
the  bleeding,  if  any ;  second,  to  wash  and  clean  the  wound 
thoroughly;  third,  to  bring  the  parts  as  near  as  possible  into 
their  natural  positions  and  keep  them  there,  and,  fourth,  to 
guard  against  exce3$ive  inflammations.  The  means  we  have 
to  accomplish  these  results  are  as  follows:  First,  to  check 
bleeding.  If  the  blood  is  bright  red  and  flows  in  spurts  or 
jets,  an  artery  has  been  cut.  Its  open  end  must  be  sought 
and  seized  with  the  forceps,  drawo  out  and  tied  with  a  thread. 
A  little  practice  will  enable  anyone  to  do  this  with  great  ease. 
If  the  flow  is  steady  and  of  dark-colored  blood  it  need  cause 
no  anxiety.  Bathing  the  part  in  alum  water,  using  one  ounce 
of  alum  to  one  pint  of  water,  rubbing  it  with  a  piece  of  ice, 
putting  cobwebs  into  the  wound  or  syringing  it  out  with  cold 
water  will  quickly  check  it. 

Second,  to  cleanse  the  wound  :  This  is  best  done  by  pour- 
ing water  upon  it  from  a  height,  not  rubbing  it  with  sponges 
or  rags.  Syringing  the  water  into  it  is  a  very  good  way. 
Pieces  of  hair,  dirt,  etc.,  can  be  picked  out  with  a  pair  of  for- 
ceps. Nothing  is  so  useful  for  a  cleansing  wash  as  a  weak 
solution  of  carbolic  acid  or  sulphooapthol,  using  one  to  two 
ounces  of  either  to  a  gallon  of  water. 

Third,  restoring  the  parts  into  position:  The  edges  of  a  cut 
wound  should  be  carefully  brought  together  and  sewed  or 
held  by  slicking  plaster  or  bandage.  A  broken  bone  should 
be  replaced  in  its  natural  position  and  held  there  by  splints. 
Strong  curved  surgical  needles  should  be  in  the  outfit  of  every 
stock  owner,  and  he  should  practice  their  use  upon  dead 
animals.  Where  they  are  not  convenient  the  edges  of  a  wound 
may  be  held  together  by  inserting  a  strong  pin  and  twisting  a 
thread  like  a  figure  eight.  The  statures  are  generally  re- 
moved on  the  fifth  or  sixth  day. 

As  to  local  applications,  after  the  wound  is  thu«  put  up, 
they  are  found  in  any  quantity.  Some  good  veterinary  sur- 
geons advocate  nothing  but  a  dry  bandage,  others  a  wet  one 
moistened  with  hot  or  cold  water.  Carbolic  acid  water,  sul- 
phonaptbol  water,  creasote  and  water,  tar,  crude  petroleum, 
borax  dry  and  in  solution,  and  many  other  substances.  Wet 
clay  and  air  slacked  lime  have  been  praised,  and  there  are  a 
great  many  ointments,  balsams,  oils,  etc.  Whiskev  and  wa- 
ter, equal  parts,  either  simple  or  containing  five  grains  of  cor- 
rosive sublimate  to  the  pint,  is  an  excellent  dressing.  Fourth, 
to  prevent  inflammation  :  The  oldest  stock  raisers  and  veter- 
inarians had  a  great  fear  of  "wound  fever',  or  initiative  fever, 
as  it  is  now  called,  and  to  prevent  it  were  wont  to  bleed  and 
starve  the  animal  after  an  injury.  This  notion  has  long  since 
disappeared  from  human  surgery,  but  still  holds  its  ground 
with  some  stockmen  and  some  veterioary  surgeons,  hut  it  is  a 
pernicious  error. 

All  that  is  needed  to  prevent  too  violent  recreation  after  a 
wound — and  that  is  what  is  meant  by  wound  fever — is  to  keep 
the  animal  quiet,  and  if  feverish  symptoms  appear  to  put  an 
ounce  of  nitrate  of  potash  in  the  drinking  water  night  and 
morning  and  give  a  gentle  purge.  If  there  is  much  pain 
nothing  equals  a  full  dose  of  laudanum,  opium  or  morphine. 
The  dressing  on  the  wound  should  be  neatly  and  comfortably 
applied,  and  then  not  often  changed.  Cloths  wet  with  weak 
carbolic  acid  water  two  or  three  times  a  day  are  never  ap- 
proached by  flies  or  maggots,  a  point  that  must  always  be 
watched  in  the  lower  animals.  Often  the  wound  is  not  seen 
for  purposes  of  treatment  until  days  after  it  has  occurred  and 
after  it  has  become  foul,  ulcerous,  bad  smelling,  with  ragged 
edges  and  perhaps  filled  with  maggots.  Here  the  first  step  is 
to  clean  and  disinfect  it  thoroughly.  To  kill  the  maggots  it 
may  be  freely  sprinkled  with  powdered  calomel.  This  will 
penetrate  into  the  recesses  of  tbe  wound  and  destroy  them 
promptly. 

Ragged  edges  and  pieces  of  dead  flesh  and  skin  should  be 
cat  away,  loose  shreds  removed  with  the  scissors  and  the 
wound  washed  by  pouring  warm  water  on  it  from  a  height. 
When  in  this  manner  it  is  well  cleaned  it  should  be  thor- 
ougbly  swabbed  with  a  feather  or  a  piece  of  tow  on  the  end  of 
a  stick,  with  a  disinfecting  and  stimulating  lotion,  in  which 
also  a  piece  of  tow,  lint  or  rag  should  be  wet  and  laid  in  and 
over  the  wound,  the  whole  to  be  covered  with  a  bandage  wet 
with  the  same.  The  wetting  should  be  repeated  two  or  three 
times  a  day,  but  the  bandage  need  not  be  removed  as  long  as 
tbe  part  appears  progressing  favorably  and  the  animal  is 
comfortable. — Exchange. 


While  making  a  fast  trial  over  the  Kentucky  Association 
track  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  March  30th,  says  a  Chicago  Inter 
Ocean  special,  Henry  of  Navarre,  Byron  McClelland's  great 
ihree-year-old,  injured  his  shoulder.  He  pulled  up  so  lame 
that  he  could  hardly  walk,  and  may  have  to  be  removed  from 
the  turf.  He  is  in  the  Brooklyn  handicap  and  other  great 
Eastern  stakes,  besides  some  Western  stakes.  He  was  being 
prepared  for  the  Cumberland  Prize  at  Nashville,  but  bis  rac- 
ing career  is  now  in  doubt. 

The  large  stakes  and  purses  being  offered  throughout  the 
Northwest  aod  Pacific  Coast,  have  stimulated  the  horsemen 
of  Oregon  to  a  pitch  of  scouring  the  State  for  bread  winners 
to  complete  their  stables. 


A  Horse's  Sense  of  Locality. 


About  the  year  1S56  a  little  colt  was  born  on  a  farm  in 
Aroostook  county,  in  the  State  of  Maine — a  colt  that  was 
soon  sold  away  from  the  place,  to  come  shortly  after  into  the 
possession  of  a  physician  in  the  town  of  Ilouiton,  who  at  the 
opening  of  the  civil  war  went  "  to  the  front,"  taking  with 
him  for  cavalry  service  the  colt,  that  bad  now  reached  ma- 
turity. Through  all  the  vicissitudes  of  a  five  years'  campaigo 
this  horse  followed  the  fortunes  of  his  master,  being  wrecked 
on  the  Red  river  expedition  and  suffering  various  disasters, 
to  return  at  the  close  of  the  war  to  the  State  of  Maine,  across 
which  he  carried  his  master  horseback  until  the  town  of 
Houlton  was  reached. 

On  the  journey  through  Aroostook  county  the  road  trav- 
ersed lay  past  the  farm  where  some  ten  years  before  this  horse 
had  been  born.  Neither  his  life  between  the  shafts  of  a 
doctor's  gig  nor  five  years  of  war  campaigning  had  caused 
him  to  lose  his  bearings,  and  when  be  reached  the  lane  that 
led  up  to  the  old  farmhouse  he  turned  up  to  the  housp  as  con- 
fidently as  though  he  had  been  driveo  away  from  it  but  a  half 
hour  before. — Lewislon  Journal.

The  Charm  of  Sport. 


BY    MARK    FIELD. 


i.  for  the  Breeder  and  Spobtsman.] 

The  charm  of  sport  is  found  in  its  reality.  Such  is  the 
constitution  of  the  human  mind,  that  even  among  those  whose 
lives  are  marked  by  the  grossest  dishonesty  there  is  an  inex- 
pressible contempt  for  cheats  and  fakes  in  popular  amuse- 
ment-, and  a  corresponding  admiration  of  all  that  is  fair  and 
genuine  in  those  amusements.  From  time  immemorial  it 
has  ever  been  thus.  It  has  always  been  the  case  that  in  the 
sporting  world  those  exhibitions  which  are  most  real  have 
invariably  proved  the  most  attractive.  In  the  early  ages  of 
(ireek  history,  when  the  imagination  held  despotic  sway  over 
the  civilised  intellect,  the  Furies,  brought  out  by  the 
dramatic  poet  -Ksehylus,  scared  the  Athenians  into  fits,  and 
though  they  censured  him  severely  for  the  frightful  effects 
which  he  wrought  upon  their  sympathies,  they  still  crowded 
his  theatre  to  oversowing  from  day  unto  day.  The  same 
people  fined  Phrynichus  in  the  penal  sum  of  1,000  drahmas 
for  torturing  their  feelings  wiin  his  tragedy  on  the  fall  of 
Miletus,  while  they  literally  went  wild  in  their  enthusiastic 
patronage  of  the  play.  .During  the  first  half  of  our  own 
century,  any  actor  who  played  well  the  part  of  a  villain  was 
not  personally  safe  on  many  of  the  stages  in  certain  portions 
of  Spain  and  Portugal,  notwithstanding  the  fact  that  without 
his  role  the  attraction  which  nightly  drew  its  thousands 
would  have  been  a  total  failure.  The  secret  of  all  this  lies 
in  that  wonderful  fidelity  of  performance  which  puts  the 
stamp  of  actual  character  on  the  personation  of  a  crtature  of 
poetic  fancy. 

Again,  it  is  a  fact  well  worthy  of  thoughtful  attention,  that 
those  sports  which  are  generally  considered  as  brutal — prize 
fights,  bull  tights,  dog  tights,  chicken  tights — are,  wherever 
they  are  tolerated,  so  amazingly  entrancing,  that  among  the 
scores  of  slums,  toughs,  shoulder  hitters  and  shoe-string 
gamblers  who  go  to  witness  them  may  frequently  be  seen  the 
faces  of  church  members,  Sunday-school  workers  and  smooth- 
Bbaven  divine6.  What  is  it  that  draws  the  elect  of  God  to 
such  bestial,  such  morally-debasing^  exhibitions?  Nothing, 
absolutely  nothing,  but  the  intense  excitement  of  the  bloody 
realities  of  the  contests. 

To  sport-producing  horsemen  there  is  a  world  of  valuable 
instruction  in  the  one  great  truth  which  all  these  citations 
point  with  such  clearness  and  directness  that  it  cannot  but  be 
seen  by  the  most  stupid  of  observers;  and  that  truth  ie  that 
while  men  are  repelled  by  the  spurious,  they  are  irresistably 
drawn  by  the  genuine ;  that  while  they  have  no  relish  for 
sham  battles  thev  are  stirred  to  the  innermost  depths  of  their 
souls  by  real  battles,  even  wheu  those  battles  are  of  the  most 
most  purely  brutalizing  character. 

But,  iu  fact,  horsemen  need  scarcely  go  beyond  the  bound- 
aries of  their  own  chosen  sport  to  find  plenty  of  examples 
which  continually  demonstrate  this  same  truth.  How  many 
habitu?s  of  the  turf  have  been  heard  to  say  that  they  wou'd 
rather  go  a  hundred  miles  to  see  a  three-minute  trotting  race 
then  to  step  across  the  street  to  see  a  2:10  hippodrome? 
Where  is  the  betting  gentleman  who  would  not  much  rather 
depend  upon  his  own  judgment  in  an  hones*  running  event 
than  to  take  a  thousand  tips  on  a  contest  that  is  under  a  cloud 
of  a  presumed  "fix  "?  liow  many  of  the  people  at  large,  even 
in  th*  most  populous  sport-loving  centers,  can  be  drawn  to  a 
meeting  whose  management  is  strongly  suspected  of  habitu- 
ally permitting  the  pool  box  or  the  bookmakers  to  beat  the 
best  horse?  Where,  under  the  broad  canopy  or  the  heavens, 
do  the  great  masses  find  a  more  nauseating  stench  than  Ho- 
ly's at  the  present  lime,  or  than  the  Chicago  West  Side  was 
not  many  moons  ago? 

Why  is  it  that  the  Illinois  Metropolis — not  widely  famed 
for  its  rigid  morality — drove  one  of  the  largest  of  its  racing 
interests  outside  of  its  limits?  And  why  is  the  State  of  In- 
diana now  making  such  a  stout  and  determined  effort  to  le- 
gally drive  out  a  racing  interest  that  commands  more  capital 
lhan  almost  any  other  enterprise  of  the  sort  in  the  entire 
West?  The  answer  in  both  cases  is  the  same — the  domina- 
tion of  the  counterfeit  over  the  genuine,  thesubordination  of 
the  real  to  the  sham.  "  When  the  wicked  rule,  the  people 
mourn,*' and  when  thecrooked  control  the  results  of  any  kind 
of  Hport,  the  days  of  that  sport  are  numbered,  for  the  sufficient 
lliat  no  sport  so  controlled  can  possibly  be  respected 
even  by  the  majority  of  those  who,  for  gain,  may  patronize 
it. 

Now  it  is  worthy  of  thought  that  among  all  the  sports 
which  come  under  the  head  of  contests,  there  is  not  one  that 
iP,  when  properly  conducted,  so  noble,  so  manly,  so  univer- 
sally popular  as  horse  racing.  Thus  conducted,  it  has  the  su- 
perlative charm  of  real  battle,  without  any  of  those  brutaliz- 
ing features  which  make  prize  fighting  and  bull  fighting  so 
abnorent  to  an  advancing  civilization.  With  all  the  excite- 
ment ariaiDK  from  its  closest  contests,  it  unites  those  match- 
le-s  pictures  of  grace  and  glorv,  which  fill  the  cultured  mind 
with  the  most  fructifying  inspiration,  and  which  raise  even 
the  commonest  of  the  common  people  far  above  themselves 
in  an  admiration  of  the  horse  which  amounts  almost  to  a  wor- 
ship of  the  horse's  creator.  With  all  the  keen  anxieties  with 
which  it  tempests  the  ardent  sun  Is  of  the  lovers  of  favorites,  it 
combines  those  incomparable  images  of  beauty,  speed  and 
Splendor  vhich,  in  the  ancient  Sanscrit  language,  gave  origin

patrons  ol  tl  ■•  turf  in  everything  except  the  wager,  and  the 
sight  of  thui  does  nol  in  the  least  annoy  them  unless  it  inter- 
[th  honest  racing.  And,  in  fact,  there  is  nothing  in 
the  book  of  Uod  against  this  or  any  other  true  sport.    Sec- 


tarian creeds  may  denounce  it,  but  Christ  never  did.  Nor 
can  any  of  his  teachings  be  fairly  construed  into  even  an 
implied  condemnation  of  it;  for  he  took  the  largest  view  of 
our  humanity,  and  looked  to  those  motives  and  principles 
which  constitute  the  substance  of  character,  and  not  to  the 
pleasures  and  pastimes  which  are  the  recreative  incidents  of 
ordinary  life.  Had  he  done  otherwise,  he  could  not  have 
been  the  Savior  of  mankind. 

The  only  morality  that,  from  any  quarter,  is  required  of 
the  turf,  is  the  morality  of  the  turf.  The  turf  is  not  ex- 
pected to  measure  itself  by  the  Methodist  standard, the  Quaker 
standard,  or  the  Presbyterian  standard,  but  by  its  own  stand- 
ard— that  standard  to  the  full  weight  of  which  it  rose  forty 
years  ago,  when  its  career  was  honorable,  its  name  unblem- 
ished, its  popularity  universal,  its  attractiveness  invincible, 
its  public  patronage  pre-eminently  lucrative,  its  moral  and 
legal  intrenchments  thoroughly  impregnable  ;  when  it  had  a 
warm  place  in  the  hearts  of  the  people  of  both  Europe  and 
America,  and  its  splendid  meetings  were  annually  anticipated 
with  radiant  expectancy  by  the  old, the  young  and  the  middle- 
aged  ;  when  the  races  at  Lexington,  New  Orleans,  New  York 
and  Philadelphia  were  the  occasions  of  those  soul-reviving 
gatherings  in  which  the  distinctions  of  youth  and  age,  patri- 
cian and  plebeian,  master  and  slave,  saint  and  sinner,  were 
all  drowned  in  the  great  river  of  a  life-renewing  sport  fioro 
which  everybody  drank  with  unrestrained  freedom,  and  in 
whose  sparkling  flood  there  was  never  a  trace  of  the  taint  of 
that  miserable  trickery  which  converts  a  race  into  a  scheme 
of  villainous  robbery. 

To  this  standard  the  turf  must  return  if  it  desires  to  long 
perpetuate  its  existence  in  those  States  in  which  it  has  not  al- 
ready been  outlawed.  Its  contests  must  be  real.  Its  events 
must  be  battles.  Its  throat  must  be  relieved  from  the  slimy 
clutches  of  unprincipled  gamblers.  The  bettings  which  is 
incidental  to  it  must  he  simply  and  merely  the  emphasis  of 
honest  judgment,  and  must  in  no  case  be  permitted  to  control 
its  exhibitions,  or  even  to  casta  shadow  of  suspicion  upon  the 
quality  of  its  work. 

When  the  turf  makes  this  return  it  will  experience  a  popu- 
lar revival  which  will  make  it,  as  it  was  of  yore,  the  crowned 
and  universally  acknowled  chief  of  all  manly  sports. 

New  Colt  Stakes  Advised. 


The  enormous  number  of  trotting  ,and  paciog  colts  which 
are  at  the  present  time  being  trained  demand  that  county 
fair  and  other  agricultural  associations  recognize  their  train- 
er's efforts  by  opening  colt  stakes  for  decision  during  the 
summer  and  autumn  months.  Each  individual  locality  has 
its  quota  of  troUing  and  pacing  youngsters,  which  have  not 
speed  enough  to  compete  in  the  larger  circuits,  but  neverthe- 
less should  have  some  opportunity  to  win  their  keep.  The 
races  are  the  principal  drawing  card  at  every  pumpkin  show, 
the  bucolic  attendance  being  better  satisfied  with  a  free-for-all 
won  in  time  slower  than  2:30  than  the  more  aristocratic  audi- 
ences at  the  bigger  tracks  when  2:10  is  beaten  some  seconds 
in  every  heat.  It  is  the  genuine  enjoyment  of  harness 
racing  that  enables  the  agricultural  societies  «.o  give  good 
premiums  for  live  stock  and  farm  produce,  and  in  place  of 
the  regulation  purses,  colt  stakes  should  be  substituted 
At  the  average  county  fair,  horses  from  neighboring  towns 
compete  together  and  rivalry  between  their  various  sup- 
porters runs  high.  The  enjoyment,  however  of  such  con- 
tests is  tame  in  comparison  with  that  which  is  brought 
to  the  surface  when  neighbors'  colt  starts  for  the 
money.  The  contestants  have  been  known  bv  many  of  the 
crowd  from  birth,  their  growth  and  development  have  been 
watched  with  keenest  interest,  and  hundreds  of  spectators  are 
directly  or  indirectly  affected  by  the  victory  or  defeat  of  their 
especial  favorites.  The  mature  horses  which  are  raced  at  the 
average  agricultural  show  are  not  of  the  class  which  de- 
mands any  special  recognition,  but  the  yonnger  generation  is 
invariably  an  improvement  on  the  older,  and  for  this  reason 
should  be  more  favored.  Secretaries  and  superintendents  of 
speed  will  confer  a  benefit  on  the  breeding  interest  and  at  the 
same  time  increase  their  gate  receipts  by  opening  colt  stakes 
at  a  small  subscription  fee  in  place  of  the  usual  trots, 
which  are  never  won  within  ten  seconds  ol*  their  limit.  A 
horse  eligible  to  the  2:30  class,  which  cannot  on  the  half-mile 
track  beat  2:40,  in  not  worth  notice  of  any  kind,  but  the  coun- 
try two-year-old,  which  can  go  out  and  beat  three  minutes  by 
some  seconds,  exhibits  promise  of  developing  into  a  useful 
roadster,  if  nothing  more,  and  his  owner,  therefore,  should  be 
encouraged  to  persevere  in  the  good  work.  Let  every  agri- 
cultural society  offer  at  its  annuel  fair  stakes  for  yearlings, 
two-year-old  and  three-year-old  trotters  and  pacers.  The  ne- 
cessity for  the  institution  of  such  races  is  this  year  more  pro- 
nounced than  ever. — Horseman. 

Bring  Out  Your  Horses. 


When  the  bell  taps  at  Irvington  Park  track  this  spring  we 
expect  to  see  the  grandest  gathering  of  runners,  trotters  and 
pacers  ever  assembled  on  any  course  in  the  North  Pacific. 
The  purses  offered  here  exceeri  anything  heretofore  offered 
for  a  spring  meeting,  which  will  induce  horses  going  to  Mon- 
tana from  California  to  stop  off  and  avoid  the  long  trip  with- 
out a  Plop,  besides  giving  their  horses  a  trial  contest  with  our 
Oregon  horses.  We  do  not  believe  that  California  will  have 
any  advantage  over  us,  except  it  be  in  the  free-for-all  classes. 
A  t  one  time  it  was  necessary  to  protect  ourselves  against  the 
California  aggregation  in  several  classes,  and  especially  in 
colt  stakes  and  purses.  Now  we  thrsw  down  the  bar  and  in- 
vite them  to  bring  theirbestand  we  will  give  them  a  horse 
race  in  every  class.  Of  course,  difference  of  opinion  makes 
horse  races,  and  if  they  think  they  can  beat  us  there  is  a 
chance  for  a  horse  race.  We  are  well  aware  that  California 
turns  out  the  best  in  America  and  will  give  us  a  contest 
worthy  of  their  name,  but  we  will  have  faith  in  our  home 
horses  pullingdown  their  share  of  the  premiums.  We  there- 
fore hope  to  see  our  local  trainers  put  their  best  foot  forward 
and  get  out  the  best  we  have  for  each  class  and  be  ready  to  de- 
fend the  honors  of  our  State  and  carry  our  colors  to  victory.

Reminiscences    of  the    Dam   of   Smuggler. 


While  smoking  the  pipe  of  peace  with  "  mine  host"  in 
a  town  in  southwestern  Iowa  not  long  since,  the  conversa- 
tion at  length  turned  upon  the  horse ;  and  after  chatting 
for  some  time  about  some  of  the  good  ones  of  bygone  days, 
when  Hiram  Woodruff,  Dan  Mace,  John  Murphy  and  others 
took  the  place  of  the  Djble,  Geer  and  Kelly  of  to-day,  mine 
host  raised  his  hand  and  pointing  to  the  picture  of  Smuggler, 
2:15},  which  adorned  a  conspicuous  place  upon  the  wall,  he  re- 
marked: "I  at  one  time  owned  his  dam."  Being  aroused  to 
morethan  usual  interest,  and  be  being  in  a  communicative 
mood,  I  drew  from  him  the  following  fact6  concerning  the 
matter.  "Away  back  in  the  sixties,  when  I  was  yet  a  boy,  you 
may  say,  and  l'ke  many  others  at  my  age,  fond  ofagood  horse, 
my  attention  was  attracted  to  a  little  bay  mare  then  in  the 
possession  of  a  captain  of  Independent  Maryland  Cavalry. 
This  mare  being  of  such  disposition  as  rendered  her  un- 
suitable for  cavalry  purposes,  I,  after  a  due  amount  of 
negotiating,  purchased  her  from  him  for  the  sum  of  $75, 
thinking  I  had  made  a  good  bargain.  I  was  at  this  time 
living  at  West  Liberty,  W.  V.  Shortly  after  making  my 
purchase  I  found  that  I  had  caught  a  "tartar,"  for,  to  tell  the 
truth,  I  think  for  her  size  she  could  make  things  just  about 
as  interesting  as  any  piece  of  horseflesh  I  ever  saw,  for  anyone 
who  chose  to  give  her  a  trial.  She  was  a  small  bay  mare 
about  fifteen  hands  high,  with  two  white  feet  behind  and  a 
star  in  the  forehead,  a  natural  pacer  and  could,  at  the  time  I 
owned  her,  run  away  with  three  or  four  men  in  spite  of  all 
efforts  to  the  contrary.  Finding  her  to  be  not  just  what  I 
wanted  I  determined  to  breed  her,  and  acting  upon  this  resolu- 
tion I  sent  her  to  a  friend  of  mine  who  owned  a  stallion, 
with  instructions  to  breed  her  and  keep  her  until  the  season 
was  over,  I  not  wishing  to  have  her  returned  without  getting 
in  foal.  In  due  time  she  was  returned;  the  owner  of  the 
stallion  6tating  that  he  had  not  been  able  to  comply  with 
my  wishes  in  the  matter  of  getting  her  with  foal  and 
said  that  be  thought  it  of  no  use  to  make  further  attempts 
in  in  that  direction.  Aciingon  the  belief  that  such  was  the 
case  and  that  the  mare  was  of  no  use  to  me  unless  she 
would  breed,  I  made  up  my  mind  to  sell  her,  which  I  did 
shortly  afterward  to  J.  M.  Morgan;  who  about  that  time 
moved  to  Columbus,  Ohio.  I  may  also  say  that  Morgan  was 
the  man  whom  I  sent  the  mare  to  in  order  to  have  her  bred. 
As  to  whether  he  knew  her  to  be  in  foal  or  not  I  do  not  know, 
but  which  she  proved  to  be,  and  Smuggler  was  the  result. 
How  was  she  bred,  you  say  ?  That  I  do  not  know,  but  she  at 
that  time  was  said  to  be  by  Tuckahoe,  merely,  I  think,  on  the 
strength  of  her  resemblance  to  that  family.  If  she  was  a 
Tuckahoe,  Smuggler  must  have  been  inbred,  astbe  dam  of  his 
sire  was  by  Irwin's  Tuckahoe.  I  often  wonder  when  I  think 
of  the  enormous  weight  Smuggler  carried  when  he  made  his 
record  of  2:15},  trotting,  what  position  he  would  hold  to  day 
(were  he  alive  and  allowed  to  go  at  his  natural  gait)  among 
the  crack  pacers  of  the  present  age.  Certainly,  if  he  showed 
the  ability  to  trot  in  2:15}  under  the  circumstances  in  which 
he  was  placed,  he  could  have  made  a  much  faster  mark  at 
the  pace,  which  was  his  natural  gait,  when  aided  by  modern 
appliances." — J.  E.  B.,  in  Iowa  Turf.

Barring    Directum. 


To  bar  or  not  to  bar  Directum  from  the  free-for-alls  of 
1894,  that  is  the  question  at  present  agitating  many  secreta- 
ries and  other  track  managers.  The  secretary  of  a  leading 
track-ownership  recently  sent  out  a  circular  letter  to  all  the 
leading  drivers  asking  an  expression  of  opinion  on  the  sub- 
ject of  barring  the  champion  stallion  from  sueh  races.  Every 
one  of  the  replies  was  to  the  effect  that  no  trotter  now  in 
training  could  cope  successfully  with  the  black  son  of  Direct- 
or. As  a  consequence,  in  one  free-for-all  shortly  to  be  adver- 
tised the  five-year-old  will  be  barred.  The  fashion  once  set 
it  will  most  likely  be  followed  by  all  the  principal  tracks,  and 
the  value  of  owner  Greeu's  stallion  will  be  seriously  impaired. 
For  years  Johnston  was  barred  ;  there  was  not  a  dollar  for 
him  to  win  on  any  course  in  the  country.  Commodore  Kitt- 
son paid  twenty  thousand  dollars  for  the  shapely  bay  geld- 
ing, who  took  his  record  the  next  year,  and  then  for  four 
years  we  were  confronted  with  the  anomalous  condition  of  a 
horse  decreasing  in  value  by  virtue  of  his  excellence.  From 
the  figures  named  his  worth  decreased  to  three  thousand  eight 
hundred  dollors,  though  in  1SS9  be  proved  he  was  as  speedy 
as  ever  by  pacing  eight  miles  on  grand  circuit  tracks  between 
2:06A  and  2:10.  The  value  of  a  race  horse  is  largely  deter- 
mined by  the  amount  be  can  win,  and  therefore  if  Directum 
is  barred  this  year  from  the  free-for-alls  his  value  will  be  J| 
curtailed.  Still  there  should  be  an  ample  field  for  tue  exer- 
cise of  his  powers  in  giving  exhibitions.  The  expressions  of 
the  drivers  quoted  show,  however,  that  no  horse  is  considered 
capable  of  giving  Directum  a  race — a  pre-eminence  rarely 
accorded  any  harness  performer. — Horseman.  [We  under- 
stand that  Monroe  Salisbury  is  very  much  opposed  to  this 
idea  of  barring  the  black  champion,  for  he  believes  that  he 
will  have  a  horse  that  will  be  able  to  measure  strides  with 
him  iu  the  races  this  fall.  He  wrote  to  all  the  secretaries,  i 
telling  them  it  would  be  a  bad  move  to  bar  ihe  king. — Ed.]  j 

Is  Your  Mare  Barren? 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  fo  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use 
an  impregnator.     It  is  worth  trying.     Ly ford's  improved  im- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  ef-  I 
fective  when  everything  else  has  failed.     Several  sets  for  sale  |

Racing  Roadsters  at  San  Jose. 

The  matinee  of  the  Ladies'  and  Gentlemen's  Driving  and 
Riding  Club,  held  at  Agricultural  Park,  Thursday,  March 
29,  was  a  decided  success.  The  day  could  scarcely  have  been 
more  favorable  and  about  sis  hundred  people  witnessed  as 
interesting  a  programme  as  has  been  given  at  the  Park  for  a 
long  time.  The  absence  of  the  noisy  pool-sellers  and  the 
wheel  of  fortune  men  was  a  most  pleasing  feature  and  the 
prominence  of  many  of  the  drivers  kept  up  the  interest  when 
the  events  were  not  in  themselves  exciting. 

The  first  event  on  the  programme  was  a  trotting  race  for 
three-minute  horses,  best  two  in  three.  The  starterswere  G-. 
Y.  B.,  b  h,  driven  by  G.  Y.  Bollinger;  Tiptinous,  br  m,  driven 
by  James  W.  Rea ;  Maud,  b  m,  driven  by  M.  C.  Schalm  ; 
Nattus,  br  f,  driven  by  J.  M.  Morehead  Jr.;  Big  Ned,  b  h, 
driven  by  J.  H.  Howard.  The  horses  (or  the  drivers)  were 
a  little  nervous  and  had  some  trouble  getting  off.  They 
finally  got  away  well  bunched,  however,  and  at  the  first  turn 
began  to  string  out.  G.  Y.  B.  took  the  lead  with  Rea's  Tip- 
tinous and  Schalnu's  Maud  fighting  close  for  second  place. 
Big  Nell  fell  back  to  fourth  place  and  .Nattus  trailed.  The 
horses  kept  these  positions  around  the  track  until  the  last 
turn.  Then  Tiptinous  and  Maud  began  to  close  up  on  the 
leader.  The  genial  sheriff,  however,  was  not  to  be  caught  nap- 
ping and  headed  his  bay  straight  for  the  wire,  passing  under 
an  easy  winner,  with  Maud  second  and  Tiptinous  a  close 
third.  Big  Ned  and  Nattus  came  in  well  parted  in  the  order 
named.    The  time  announced  for  the  heat  was  2:43^. 

The  second  heat  of  this  race  was  extremely  lively.  Just 
as  the  judges  started  the  horses  off"  G.  Y.  B.  broke  and  fell 
hopelessly  in  the  rear.  Tiptinous  and  Maud  forged  to  the 
head,  and  Messrs  Rea  and  Schalm  kept  within  good  sociable 
distance  of  each  other  from  the  quarter  on.  J.H.Howard 
was  urging  Big  Ned  along  in  front  of  Nattus,  and  Bollinger 
was  making  an  ineffectual  attempt  to  bring  his  namesaKe  up 
where  the  racing  was  going  on.  As  the  horses  turned  into  the 
Homestretch  the  crowd  was  treated  to  as  pretty  a  spectacle  in 
horse  racing  as  could  be  imagined.  Maud  and  Tiptinous 
were  driving  down  the  track  like  a  team.  As  -he  horses  ap- 
proached the  stand  everyone  got  excited  and  commenced 
shouting  advice  to  the  drivers.  Mr.  Schalm  discovered  a 
way  of  getting  a  little  more  speed  out  of  his  mare  and  Mr. 
Rea  made  a  few  insinuating  remarks  to  his  brown  flyer.  It 
was  all  in  vain,  though,  for  Maud  won  by  a  head:  This  was 
considered  by  the  old-timers  to  be  one  of  the  pretliest  driven 
races  ever  seen  on  the  grounds.  The  other  horses  came  under 
the  wire  with  Big  Ned  third,  Nattus  fourth  and  G.  Y.  B. 
fifth.    Time,  2:40. 

The  third  and  last  heat  of  this  race  was  almost  a  repetition 
of  the  first,  save  that  G.  Y.  B.  broke  at  the  other  end  of  the 
mile.  Maud  took  the  had  at  the  start,  while  Tiptinous  and 
G.  Y.  B.  disputing  second  place,  Big  Ned  at  their  sulkeys 
andNaitus  about  a  length  behind.  At  the  half  Tiptinous  be- 
gan to  draw  away  and  made  a  beautiful  race  to  the  100-yard 
gate.  Here  Mr.  Schalm,  who  had  been  driving  Maud  in  pro- 
fessional style,  brought  the  mare  into  the  contest  and  for  a 
moment  it  was  anybody's  race.  Tiptinous  forged  ahead  of 
G.  Y.  B.,  but  broke  at  a  critical  moment.  Rea  brought  her 
down  in  fine  shape  but  the  break  was  fatal  and  Maud  pushed 
her  nose  under  the  wire  just  quick  enougn  to  win  the  heat 
and  race,  with  Tiptinous  stcond,  G.  Y.  B.  a  very  close  third 
and  Big  Ned  and  Nattus  fourth  and  fifth.    Time,  2:44. 

The  trophies  were  awarded  as  follows  :  M.  C.  Schalm,  first 
prize,  a  lap  robe;  second  priz?,  lap-robe,  George  Y.  Bollinger; 
third  prize,  whip,  James  W.  Rea. 

Nattus  and  Big  Ned  are  both  beautifnlly-gaited  animals 
and  were  well  handled,  but  the  impossibility  of  the  directors 
knowing  exactly  what  the  horses  could  do  caused  them  to  be 
outclassed. 

Tbe  second  event  was  productive  of  remarkable  records  for 
road  horses.  It  was  a  pacing  contest,  the  entries  being  Graves 
Girl,  s  m,  driven  by  Dr.  J.  W.  Graves;  Monte,  s  b,  driven 
by  W.  B.  Rankin  ;  Wait-a-Little,br  h,  driven  by  F.  M.  Burk- 
holder.  Bucephalus,  s  h,  driven  byW.  C.  Cressy. 

These  horses  were  remarkably  beautiful  roadsters.  Mr. 
Cressy's  sorrel  being  a  particularly  noble  lookiog  animal. 
Dr.  Graves'  sorrel  mare,  Graves  Girl,  while  a  fine  buggy 
horse,  was  generally  conceded  to  be  not  fast  enough  for  the 
class  in  which  it  was  entered.  The  doctor,  however,  con- 
sented to  enter  tbe  mare  to  increase  the  interest,  and  the  re- 
sult showed  that  she  could  go  some,  and  will  probably,  when 
properly  classed,  make  a  good  showing  at  subsequent  meet- 
ings. 

After  one  or  two  ineffectual  starts  the  horses  got  under  the 

wire  well  bunched  with  the  exception   of  Bucephalus,  who 

trailed  about  two  lengths.   At  the  first  turn  the  horses  strung 

out  with  Wait-a -Little  first,  Monte  second,  Bucephalus  third 

and  Graves  Girl  fourth.     This  order  was  not  changed  until 

the  last  quarter.    Then   Monte  began  to  decrease  the  now 

considerable  distance  between  him  and  Wait-a- Little.   About 

I   this  time  Burkholder  began  to  pull  the  leader,  under  tbe 

impression,  evidently,  that  he  would  discourage  his  competi- 

|  tors  if  he  kept  up  his  pace.     He  didn't  have  to  wait  long  be- 

•  fore  Monte  came  tearing  along  his  way.     This  alarmed  Mr. 

Burkholder,  who  tried  to  pull  away  again,  but  he  had  waited 

I  a  little  too  long,  and  in  attempting  to  gain  ground  his  horse 

i    broke,  and  Monte  paced  in  first,Wait-a-Little  second,  Bucep- 

I    halus  third  and  Graves  Girl  fourth.     Time,  2:37}. 

When  tbe  side-wheelers  came  up  for  the  second  heat  J.  H. 
■    Howard  had  been  substituted  behind  Monte  for  W.  R.  Ran- 
r  kin.      Monte   broke    near    tbe    first  turn   and   Bucephalus 
.   and  Wait-a- Little  paced  side  by  side  for  about  a  quarter  of  a 
»   mile.    The  gait  was  too  rapid  for  Cressy's  sorrel,  and   Burk- 
holder gradually  drove  his  horse  away  and  kept  leading  in  a 
style  that  any  professional  might  envy,  winning  by  fifty  yards 
from  Monte,  who  had  passed  the  other  two  at  the  half.      Bu- 
cephalus took  third  place,  and   Graves  Girl  fourth.      Time 
I  2:31. 

The  third  heat  was  the  speediest  thing  of  the  day,  and  al- 
though it  was  a  procession  all  tbe  way  arouod,  was  made  ex- 
citing by  the  way  in  which  Mr.  Howard  kept  Monte  at  the 
wheels  of  Burkholder's  Wait-a-Little.  The  horses  got  a  fair 
start  and  Wait-a-Little  immediately  took  the  lead.  Monte 
followed  in  the  immediate  vicinity  and  the  two  horses  went 
around  like  machines.  As  they  came  up  tbe  stretch  a  big 
brindle  dog  trotted  into  the  middle  of  the  track  and  gazed 
curiously  at  the  coming  flyers,  A  man  started  to  chase  the 
dog  from  the  track  and  the  Marshal  started  after  the  man.  For 
■  a  moment  it  looked  as  if  dog,  man  and  Marshal  would  all  be 
run  down,  but  happily  the  catastrophe  was  averted  and  the 
interest  of  the  spectators  turned  again  to  the  horses.  Wait-a- 
Little  came  under  the  wire  first  with  about  two  lengths  to 
I  spare,    Monte  second,   Bucephalus  third  and   Graves  Girl 


fourth.  Time,  2:29-1.  The  first  half  was  made  bv  the  winner 
in  1:13}. 

The  trophies  were:  First,  laprobe,  F.  M.  Burkholder  ;  sec- 
ond, gold-mounted  whip,  W.  B.  Rankin  ;  third,  russett  hal- 
ter, W.  C.  Cressy. 

The  third  and  last  event  of  the  day  was  a  trotting  and 
pacing  contest,  free  for  all.  The  starters  wire  :  Topsey  S-,  s 
m,  driven  by  Ed  Senter ;  Arbuday,  s  h,  driven  by  S.  \V.  Mc- 
Carley;  Don  Mount,  blk  h,  driven  by  H.  0.  Hickox  ;  Black 
Bets,  blk  m,  driven  by  Dr.  W.  D.  McDougall,  and  Peanut,  s 
h,  owned  by  George  W.  Sill  and  driven  by  C.  A.  Lynde. 
Considerable  difficulty  was  experienced  in  starting  this  race. 

Don  Mount  was  particularly  anxious  to  be  off",  and  after 
repeated  scorings  Mr.  Hickok  was  obliged  to  give  up  in  ex- 
haustion and  J.  H.  Howard  took  the  ribbons. 

When  the  horses  finally  got  off,  Peanut  went  to  tut;  front 
like  a  winner,  with  Don  Mouut  coming  right  after  him. 
Abuday  was  a  close  third  and  Dr.  McDougal's  beautiful  black 
was  behaving  badly  in  fourth  place.  Topsy  was  capering  still 
further  away.  The  positions  were  not  changed  till  tbe  stretch 
was  reached,  when  Don  Mount  took  a  few  extra  steps  and 
passed  Peanut.  Arbuday  strove  hard  for  second  place,  but 
failed  to  pass  Peanut.  Black  Bess  bad  remained  ugly  all 
around  the  track  and  made  a  rather  poor  fourth.  Senter's 
sorrel  mare  was  evidently  outclassed,  and  was  not  urged  to 
her  best.    Time  of  heat,  2:47. 

In  tbe  second  heat  F.  M.  Burkholder  drove  Dr.  McDougal's 
Black  Bess.  Don  Mount  went  to  the  fore  at  the  start,  with 
Abuday  second.  Peanut  lost  at  the  wire,  but  rapidly  made 
it  up,  and  at  tbe  half  had  passed  Arbuday,  who  was  making  a 
gallant,  but  losing,  fight  Don  Mount  and  Peanut  then  raced 
home,  with  Black  Bess  and  Arbuday  struggling  for  third 
place.  Tbe  sorrel  was  evidently  weary,  however,  and  Black 
Bess  came  under  the  wire  a  length  to  thegood,  Topsy  finished 
fifth.     Time,  2:48. 

The  trophies  awarded  were:  First,  one  set  boots,  J.  H. 
Hickcx  ;  second,  summer  robe,  George  W.  Sill  ;  third,  order 
on  T.  W.  Hobson  &  Co.  for  a  bat,  Dr.  McDougall. 

The  officials  were:  Judges,  J.  Babcock,  T.  W.  Hobsoo,  W. 
C.  F.  Bunch.  Timers,  Dr.  Felton,  George  Sill,  H.  F.  Spen- 
cer.    Marshal,  J.  Lowe. 

Financially  the  club  came  out  about  even.  This  is  as  much 
as  hoped  for  at  the  first  matinee  and  the  enthusiasm  of  the 
spectators  and  members  yesterday  augurs  well  for  all  future 
events.  A  remarkable  feature  of  tbe  races  yesterday  was  that 
the  ladies,  of  whom  there  was  a  number  in  the  grandstand, 
showed  no  signs  of  weariness  throughout  tbe  entire  pro- 
gramme. This  was  partly  owing  to  the  skillful  manner  in 
which  the  directors  had  sandwiched  the  events  to  make  de- 
lays as  brief  as  possible. 

These  features  were  all  doubtless  appreciated  and  should  a 
gate-keeper  be  stationed  at  the  entrance  to  the  judges'  and 
press  stand  this  will  doubtless  also  be  appreciated  by  the 
occupants,  as  the  judges' quarters  were  as  crowded  and  the 
press  quarters  were  untenable  for  the  purpose  for  which  they 
were  designed.  This  feature  will  probably  be  attended  to  at 
future  meetings. — Mercury. 

HOOF-BEATS. 


It  is  officially  announced  that  Frank  Shaw  will  manage  the 
betting  ring  at  the  fair  grounds  in  St.  Louis  this  summer. 
Shaw  lost  a  good  share  of  his  money  at  St.  Louis  last  year, 
and  his  desire  to  control  the  ring  at  this  poiut  can  only  be  ex- 
plained by  the  fact  that  he  thinks  the  only  place  to  get  his 
money  back  is  where  he  lost  it.  It  is  said  that  he  is  stranded, 
but  it  does  not  look  so,  for  men  do  not  obtain  control  of  a 
betting  ring  without  some  funds  in  sight.  Shaw  has  been  the 
object  of  a  good  many  petty  flings  of  late,  most  of  which  have 
been  entirely  unwarranted,  buL  he  is  of  the  kind  which  al- 
ways bobs  up  serenely,  lose  or  win.  It  is  quite  likely  he  will 
be  on  top  before  fall. 

A.  B.  Spreckels  purchased  some  very  choice  thorough- 
bred mares  this  week, viz.,  Atossa,  by  Dunlop,out  of  Catherine 
Wheel;  a  filly  by  Jim  Brown,  out  of  Fun;  a  filly  by  Flood, 
out  of  Music;  Glee,  by  Cheviot,  out  ofGlendew;  Free  Love, 
by  Luke  Blackburn,  and  a  mare  whose  pedigree  we  have  been 
unable  to  get.  Atos3a  was  tbe  property  of  Wm.  Donathan, 
the  Jim  Brown  filly,  tbe  Flood  filly  and  Glee  were  owned  by 
Dan  McCarty,  while  Free  Love  and  the  other  mare  belonged 
to  Wallace  Mendenhall.  Mr.  Spreckels  is  using  rare  good 
judgment  in  his  selection  of  mares,  and  in  a  few  years  his 
name  as  a  breeder  of  stake-winners  will  be  known  in  all  parts 
of  the  world. 

About  the  time  of  tbe  failure  of  "  Plunger"  F.  Theodore 
Walton  the  Tattersalls  of  New  York,  which  had  a  claim 
against  him  for  the  feed  and  keep  of  some  of  his  horses, 
secured  an  attachment  against  his  property  in  an  action  in 
tbe  Supreme  Court,  and  under  it  the  Sheriff  seized  the  im- 
ported stallion  Hopeful.  The  assignee  of  Walton  made  a 
claim  for  the  animal  on  behalf  of  the  creditors."  The  case 
was  presented  to  the  Sheriffs  jury  recently  U[ion  the  ques- 
tion of  the  value  of  the  animal  and  its  title.  "  Plunger" 
Walton  testified  that  he  valued  the  stallion  at  $3,000.  The 
jury  found  this  to  be  its  value  and  sustained  the  seizure  by 
the  Sheriff. 

The  following  circular  was  sent  out  in  New  York  on 
March  22,  by  the  stewards  of  the  Jockey  Club.  "  Trainers 
and  jockeys  are  requested  to  make  their  applications  for 
license  without  delay.  Blank  forma  of  application  will  be 
furnished  by  the  secretary.  These  must  be  filled,  stating  the 
name,  address  and  employers,  if  any,  of  the  applicant,  and 
filed  at  the  office  of  the  Jockey  Club.  Should  the  applica- 
tion be  granted  by  the  stewards,  the  applicant  must  take  out 
his  license  immediately  by  applying  at  the  office  of  the 
Jockey  Club  and  paying  the  usual  fee.  No  license  will  be 
issued  after  May  5,  except  in  cases  of  emergency,  as  pro- 
vided in  the  Rules  of  Racing." 


Ma j.  Barak  G.  TntmAs,  of  Hira  Villa,  Lexington,  Ky., 
reports  that  the  mares  Hegiaz  by  imp.  King  Ban  and  Quesat 
by  Himyar,  out  of  Queen  Ban  by  imp.  Kiog  Ban,  have  each 
foaled  a  fine  colt  to  Mr.  D.  T.  Pulsifer's  stallion  Tenny. 
Both  are  said  to  he  splendid  specimens  and  worthy  of  their 
sire.  Mamie  B.,  full  sister  to  St.  Florian,is  expected  to  drop 
a  foal  to  Tenny  any  day  now.  At  the  Beaumont  stud,  Lex- 
ington, Ky.,  W.  H.  P.  Headley  has  four  mares  due  to  foal  to 
Tenny,  one  'of  them  being  that  grand-looking  daughter  of 
imp.  Prince  Charlie — Coots,  out  of  Blunder  by  Lexington.

The  imported  thoroughbred  stallion  Rotherhill  died 
recently  at  the  Carlsbad  stud,  near  Lexington,  Ky.  He  was 
brought  over  to  tbis  country  in  1S8G  by  Robert  A.  Swigert, 
who  owned  him  up  to  his  death.  Judging  from  his  ill  suc- 
cess as  a  sire  in  this  country — Rolla,  a  two  year-old  winner 
last  year,  being  about  the  best  of  his  get — his  name  would 
probably  never  have  been  heard  of  but  for  his  connection 
with  the  Derby-dead  heater,  St.  Gatien.  The  last-named, 
who  is  the  sire  of  W.  H.  Forbes'  Meddler,  was  by  Rotherhill 
or  Tbe  Rover,  and,  although  many  claimed  Rotherhill  as 
being  responsible  for  St.  Gatien,  the  late  Major  Brace,  St. 
Gatien's  breeder,  and  others  who  were  in  a  position  to  know, 
had  no  doubt  as  to  The  Rover  being  the  sire.  Rotherhill 
was  foaled  in  1S72,  and  was  a  son  of  Lord  Clifden  and  Laura, 
by  Orlando,  and  was  consequently  a  half  brother  to  Petrarch. 

Col.  Lander  D.  Beuce  announced  in  last  week's  issue  of 
tbe  Turf,  Field  and  Farm,  that  Volume  VI.  of  the  American 
Stud  Book  will  be  issued  by  the  middle  of  the  week.  He 
gave  a  few  statistics,  which  are  well  worthy  of  quotation.  No 
less  than  6,955  brood  mares  and  their  produce  are  included, 
independent  of  the  stallions,  native  and  imported.  From 
these  mares,  for  the  year  1893,  1,503  col.s  and  1,521  fillies 
were  reported,  1,60S  mares  not  being  reported  at  all.  There 
were  1,150  barren  mares  and  2S1  slipped  foals,  while  275  were 
not  bred  in  1892  and  517  died.  As  Col.  Bruce  points  out,  tbe 
1,608  mares  unreported  shows  a  culpable  negligence  on  the 
part  of  breeders.  English  reports  of  1893  show  5,601  mares, 
of  which  222  were  not  reported.  The  contrast  is  telling. — 
Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

W.  H.  Laudeman,  the  well-known  bookmaker  and  owner, 
has  engaged  John  McGinty,  who  trained  Leonatus,  Montrose 
and  other  noted  horses,  to  handle  his  string  tbis  season.  Mr. 
McGinty  has  taken  the  horses  in  charge,  they  being  now  at 
the  Kentucky  Association's  course.  McGinty  bears  the  dis- 
tinction of  being  the  only  trainer  that  ever  won  four  races  in 
one  day  at  Latonia,  he  nearly  sweeping  the  boards  there  the 
first  day  of  the  Fall  meeting  of  1S90,  when  training  the  horses 
of  Messrs.  J.  W.  Megibben  &  Co.  He  won  with  Sportsman, 
Birdella  M.,  W.  G.  Morris  and  Vallera,  the  stable  having  no 
starter  in  the  remaining  event  on  the  card.  Since  Mr.  Lau- 
deman  has  been  connected  with  the  turf,  now  a  period  of 
several  years,  bis  horses  have  always  been  trained  by  Tom 
Stevens,  the  owner  of  Buchwa. 


De  Bracey  speaks  volumes  for  the  worth  of  St.  Saviour 
as  a  sire.  Frank  Van  Ness  thought  he  had  a  good  one  when 
he  purchased  him  at  Wilber  Smith's  sale,  and  now  he  is 
pretty  positive  of  it.  De  Bracey  should  rind  no  journey  too 
long  for  him,  bred  as  he  is.  He  is  by  St.  Saviour  (son  of  Eo- 
lusand  War  Song,  by  War  Dance,  and  brother  to  Eole),dam 
Glen  Ellen  (sister  to  Kildare),  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly  ;  second 
dam  Mistake  (dam  of  Hermitage),  by  Wildidle;  third  dam 
Katy  Pease  (queen  of  the  turf  iu  her  day,  and  dam  of  Judge 
McKinstry,  Marigold  and  Centella),  by  Planet ;  fourth  dam 
Minnie  Mansfield  (dam  of  Hubbard,  holder  of  tbe  world's 
record  at  two  and  three  quarter  miles),  by  imp.  Glencoe,  etc. 
Why  shouldn't  De  Bracey  be  a  good  one  with  this  lineage  ? 


George  Frederick,  the  English  Derby  winner,  now  at 
the  head  of  the  Seagram  stud  in  Canada,  is  not  allowed  to  re- 
ceive visitors  in  his  present  quarters.  A  reporter  for  one  of 
the  Canadian  dailies  recently  saw  tbe  horse,  and  found  him  so 
vicious  that  he  had  to  be  kept  blinded  in  a  stall  built  espe- 
cially strong  for  him.  When  taken  out  he  is  muzzled  and  led 
with  a  staff"  on  both  sides  of  his  head.  In  his  time  he  has 
succeeded  in  killing  two  men,  and,  if  given  a  ghost  of  a  show, 
would  surely  add  to  his  list  of  victims.  In  common  with 
most  of  his  dam's  foals,  George  Frederick  never  was  a  very 
good  tempered  horse,  but  he  seems  to  be  getting  worse  in  this 
respect  as  he  gets  older.  George  Frederick  is  a  chestnut 
horse,  foaled  1871,  and  is  the  only  winner  of  the  English 
Derby  now  in  Canada.  The  Seagram  stable  will  include 
twenty  horses  this  season,  many  of  which  are  two  year-olds, 
and  are  at  Toronto  being  worked  for  their  engagement. 

Hugh  McCarren,  Jr.,  wishes  to  make  a  statement  in 
regard  to  the  decision  of  the  officials  of  the  Arkansas  Jockey 
Club  putting  his  horses  off*  the  grounds  at  Hot  Springs,  March 
12th.  He  says  he  won  races  on  Thursday,  Friday  and  Satur- 
day respectively.  On  Saturday,  March  10th,  he  won  a  race 
at  a  mile  and  a  quarter  with  Woodford,  making  the  total 
amount  due  to  him  $320.  Mr.  McCarren  had  business  with 
the  Mayor,  and  this  official  informed  him  that  the  association 
was  making  no  money,  and  that  he  had  better  make  a  demand 
for  what  money  was  due  to  him.  He  made  such  a  demand 
on  Saturday,  March  10th.  He  was  informed  by  the  officials 
that  if  he  insis'ed  on  getting  his  money  he  would  have  to 
give  up  his  stable  accommodation.  This  he  agreed  to  do. 
They  then  told  him  that  he  would  not  get  his  money  until  he 
was  outside  the  gate.  Thereupon  he  obtained  a  permit  from 
the  Mayor  to  pass  into  the  Jockey  Club's  grounds,  where  he 
was  given  a  check  for  $310,  leaving  $10  still  due  to  him.  To 
this  statement  Mr.  McCarren  says  he  is  prepared  to  make 
affidavit  under  oath. — Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

The  officials  of  the  Turf  Congress  have  refused  to  grant  rid- 
ing licenses  to  William  Martin  and  Thomas  Griffin,  two 
jockeys  well  enough  known  to  Western  race-goers.  The 
former  has  been  for  some  time  past  Eugene  Leigh's  first 
jockey,  and  rode  Clifford  in  the  most  of  the  races.  Martin 
has  been  mixed  up  in  one  or  two  bits  of  sharp  practice,  which 
have  earned  for  him  at  times  well  merited  suspension.  In 
fact,  he  has  been  in  trouble  on  almost  every  race-course  in 
the  country.  Griffin  has  also  ridden  some  suspicious  races, 
but  his  failure  to  procure  a  license  comes  as  a  surprise  to 
many,  as  it  was  thought  he  would  receive  another  chance. 
Tbe  action  of  tbe  Turf  Congress  in  refusing  Martin  a  license 
leaves  Leigh  without  a  jockey,  but  he  should  have  no  trouble 
in  securiog  talent  at  least  equal  to  that  which  he  has  hitherto 
employed.  It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  the  work  of  reform 
has  already  begun.  The  vast  amount  of  benefit  which  the 
turfwould  receive  from  the  institution  of  a  national  jockey 
club  may  be  guaged  from  this  seemingly  unimportant  step 
of  refusing  two  not  first-class  jockeys  licenses  to  ride.  The 
Turf  Congress  and  the  Jockey  Club  have  agreed  to  recognize 
each  others'  rulings,  consequently  Martin  and  Griffiuwill 
find  it  impossible  to  secure  employment  with  any  prominent 
stable.  The  sight  of  two  jockeys  who  have  hitherto  plied 
their  trade  practically  untramelled  in  their  own  particular 
way  viewing  races  from  the  grand-stand  instead  of  thesaddle 
will  have  a  wholesome  effect  upon  many  of  their  brethren 
who  do  not  always  ride  to  win.  This  state  of  reciprocity  has 
long  been  desired  on  the  American  turf,  and  a  few  more  in- 
stances of  practical  reformation  like  the  one  cited  will  do 
much  to  broaden  the  field  of  the  jockey  club's  jurisdiction, 
and  will  in  the  end  secure  the  evolution  of  a  national  jockey 
club,  national  in  scope  as  well  as   in   dame. — The  Horseman

At  Petaluma — the  home  of  fine  horses— the  young  men, 
and  the  older  ones,  too,  are  agitating  the  subject  of  form- 
ing a  similar  organization.  If  they  succeed,  and  we 
see  no  reason  why  they  should  not,  an  impetus  will  be 
given  to  the  selection  and  training  of  roadsters  that  will 
prove  of  inestimable  value  to  the  light  harness  horse 
interests  of  that  thriving  section. 

At  Sacramento,  another  of  the  same  class  is  in  active 
operation,  and  has  been  for  some  time.  The  drives, 
however,  are  along  the  principal  roads,  and  not  on  the 
track.  At  Alameda,  a  number  of  prominent  horsemen 
have  a  splendid  organization,  and  the  Melrose  track,  just 
beyond  the  town  of  Alameda,  is  the  scene  of  many 
exciting  races. 

The  formation  of  these  associations  are  to  be  encour- 
aged, as  a  field  for  the  sale  of  first-class  roadsters  will  be 
opened  and  the  efforts  of  breeders  to  supply  the  demand 
will  be  redoubled  when  it  is  known  that  horses  which  can 
trot  without  being  booted  to  the  elbows,  and  those 
having  a  perfect  gait,  combined  with  size,  style,  color 
and  disposition  will  bring  prices  that  will  pay  well  for 
their  breeding  and  developing.  The  use  of  fine  harnesses 
and  vehicles  will  create  a  jealous  rivalry  among  the 
roadites  also,  that  will  result  in  compelling  manufacturers 
and  builders  to  do  their  utmost.  Races  between  teams, 
four-in-hands  and  tandems  will  prove  interesting,  and  if 
the  matinees  given  by  these  associations  are  rightly  man- 
age!, they  can  be  made  society  events  at  which  the  elite 
of  the  cities  will  attend  to  see  the  owners  of  the  horses 
handle  their  well-trained  steeds.  Then  we  say,  let  the 
good  work  go  on,  for  when  once  well  started  every  one 
of  these  organizations  will  do  much  to  encourage  all  who 
are  interested  in  the  trotting  horse  industry  to  per. 
severe.

been  kept  up  in  the  barns  and  paddocks  all  through  th 
long  winter  months,  and  then,  without  giving  them 
chance  to  get  strong  (by  giving  them  slow  and  stead 
jogging  for  three  months  with  an  occasional  fast  eight! 
or  quarter  at  the  latter  part  of  this  period),  "razoo"  thei 
around  the  mile  track  as  if  $10,000  depended  on  th 
result.  The  horses'  muscles  are  soft  and  flabby,  and  th 
effecis  of  the  soft  feed  have  hardly  left  bis  system  whe> 
called  upon  to  go  this  mile.  As  we  said  in  the  begin 
ning  of  this  article,  it  makes  us  angry  when  we  hear  c 
such  instances,  for  we  know  some  horse-owner  is  bein 
fleeced  by  an  ignorant  reinsman  who  never  has  a  hors 
with  a  foot  to  stand  on  when  the  bell  in  the  judges'  stan 

rings. 

This  serious  question  confronts  every  horse  owner  i 
the  land,  and  the  Western  Horseman  in  its  last  isar. 
has  the  following  article  on  the  same  subject  which  evei 
one  should  read  : 

■'In  the  school  of  expericuce.it  has  often  been  said,  those  w] 
learn  who  can  learn  in  no  other,  and  a  more  homely  saying  is  tb 
"experience  is  a  dear  school,  but  a  fool  will  learn  in  no  other." 
is  not  remarkable  that  fools  will  learn  in  no  other  school  than  that' 
experience,  but  itis  quite  remarkable  that  many  very  bright  andi 
telligent  men  will  not  learn  some  things,  though  they  may  be  studel 
in  the  actual  school  of  experience  for  years. 

One  of  the  things  that  trotting  and  pacing  horse  trainers,  as 
class,  are  slow  to  learn  is  that  horses,  after  months  of  idleness  dt 
ing  the  winter,  can  not  with  impunity  and  without  inj  ory  stand  vl 
lent  exertion,  or  even  long  continued  effort,  such  as  a  brush  of  a  mi 
at  anything  near  full  speed.  Itseemsthat  any  one  of  fait  judgme 
ought  to  readily  understand  that  this  is  so,  and  yet  one  only  nee 
to  be  advised  of  what  is  going  on  throughout  the  country  to  know  th 
the  number  of  otherwise  practical  men,  who  are  not  practical  on  tl 
point,  is  alarmingly  large.  Here  we  are,  yet  in  the  month  jf  Marc 
the  most  treacherous  month  of  the  year,  and  still  we  bear  of  traint 
"  repeating  "  their  track  horses !  Could  anything  be  more  foolisl 
It  is  true  that  we  bad  some  twenty  days  of  fairly  good  weather  dl 
ing  March,  during  which  time  horses  in  many  places  were  "  jogga 
smartly,  but  a  knowledge  of  what  might  reasonably  be  expected  at 
day  during  the  month  is  tbe  best  reason  in  the  world  why  traint 
should  not  allow  themselves  to  be  fooled  by  the  few  balmy  days 
the  month.  Injudicious  hurry  during  the  earlier  part  of  tbe  tral 
ing  season  is  the  cause  of  more  horses  going  wrong  than  most  a: 
other  combination  of  causes,  and  yet  a  great  many  men  fail  to  lei 
by  past  expeiience  in  this  matter.  During  tbe  early  spring  mi 
horses  are  frisky  and  ambitious,  are  free  to  go  and  want  to  go,  a 
too  often  this  anxiety  on  the  part  of  the  horse  is  accepted  by  t 
trainer  as  "condition  to  go,"  aud  right  here  often  begins  the  el 
of  a  good  prospect's  usefulness  as  a  race  barse.  Whatever  may 
thecondilion  of  a  horse  so  far  as  life,  high  spirit  and  willingnesi 


If  there  is  anything  that  makes  a  true  lover  of  good 

trotting  and  pacing,  angry  it  is  to  hear  that  some  trainer 

early  in  March  is  giving  some  very  promising  colts  fast 

miles,  wonderful   halves  and  phenomenal  quarters.     To 

the  majority  of  people  interested  in  horses,  this  news  has    concerned  at  tbe  beginning  of  his  work,  his  muscles  are  soft,  flab 

and  relaxed,  hiswindshort  and  his  every  physical  condition  tl 
which  unflts  him  for  early  and  extreme  effort,  and  should  this 
indulged  in,  sore  muscles,  broken  courage  and  a  general  going  bat 
so  far  as  racing  form  is  concerned,  will  be  the  results.  He  who  mal 
baste  slowly  in  early  spring  work  really  ;bastens  the  preparation 
his  horse  for  the  turf  battles  that  are  to  follow,  while  he  who  begi 
early  with  stiff  work  and  "repeats"  will  succeed  in  "doing  up'

little  or  no  effect,  because  they  never  have  hired  trainers 
and  know  nothing  of  the  anxieties  of  having  a  favorite 
colt  or  filly  in  a  trainer's  hands.  They  are  ignorant  of 
the  time  it  really  takes  to  properly  train  a  horse,  and 
who.n  they  hear  that  Mr.  So-and-So  is  getting  his  horses 
to  trot  so  very  fast  in  March  they  think,  and,  in  fact,  they  I  charges  before  the  racing  seasou  arrives.  Thissystem  of  frequents

act  upon  tbe  thought,  that,  "If  that  man  can  get  such  , 

speed  so  early  in  the  season,  I  will  give  him  some  of 
mine  next  year." 

It  is  all  wrong,  this  idea  of  taking  a  big  string  of 
horses,  young  and  old,  and  preparing  them  to  go  against 
the  watch  even  as  late  as  June,  let  alone  the  months 
of  March  and  April.  What  is  there  to  he  gained  by 
such  performances?  No  money  is  hung  up  on  the  wire, 
and  the  owner  can  take  no  pleasure  in  seeing  his  colts  or 
fillies  worked  out  a  mile  beside  a  fast  running  horse,  for 
when  the  entries  are  paid  up,  ii  he  is  any  kind  of  a 
judge  of  what  he  has  seen,  he  will  not  he  surprised 
if  he  receives  a  letter  from  the  trainer  a  few  days 
previous  to  the  race  informing  him,  "  Your  colt  seems 
to  be  off.  He  will  not  eat,  aud  acts  as  if  he  is 
track-sour.  I  do  not  think  he  is  able  to  make  a  good 
showing.     I  am  going  on  the  circuit  with  the  balance. 

What  shall  I  do  with  yours  ?  I  cannot  take  him  with  me. 

I  send  herewith  the  bill,  etc." 

Messages  like  these  come  to  owners  every  year,  and  if 

we   look   around   us  at  the. race   meetings  we  will  see 

plenty  of  gentlemen  who  have  had  splendid  colts,  but, 

in  the  language  of  the  paddock,  they  "  went  wrong  in 

the  spring."     Is  it  any  wonder  that  so  many  lovers  of 

good   horses   get  disgusted  with    owning   trotters   and 

pacers  because  of  their  treatment  by  the  numberless  so- 
called  trainers,  who  train  ami  handle  colts  and  fillies  as  if 

they  were  old  and  tried  campaigners  .'  A  man  might  just 

as  well  ask  a  child  of  six  years  to  do  the  labor  of  a  boy  of 

sixteen  iu   the  harvest  field  as  to  strive  to  make  a  two- 
year-old  take  the   same  amount  of  training  as  a  lmrse 

seven  years  old.     Nature  caunot  stand   tbe  strain,  and 

the  delicate  little  youngsters,  although   endowed   with 

plenty  of  ambition  and  speed,  have  to  use  their  limbs 

and    loot   which   have   not   the   strength   to  sustain  the 

forced  strain  necessary  to  go  as  fast  as  they  desire. 
The  day  is  not  far  distant,  we  hope,  when  the  training 

and  developing  of  yearling   trotters  and   pacers  will   be

Splendid  Likeness  of  Ballarat. 


One  of  the  happiest  men  to  leave  the  Bay  District  track 
for  Saratoga  next  week  will  be  P.  Meany,  for  H.  M.  Mason, 
the  owner  of  Gloaming,  has  just  finished  a  splendid  oil  paint- 
ing of  Mr.  Meany's  good  horse  Ballarat.  It  is  not  often  that 
one  finds  such  talent  for  art  among  trainers,  but  Mr.  Mason 
is  indeed  a  genius  with  the  brush,  and  should  he  ever  retire 
from  active  life  on  the  course,  it  would  not  take  him  long  to 
build  up  a  great  reputation  as  an  artist.  Mr.  Meany  will 
have  this  excellent  painting  framed  and  placed  in  his  parlor 
at  Saratoga  as  a  memento  of  California  and  a  reminder  of  the 
fact  that  Mr.  Mason,  who  painted  the  picture,  had  the  splen- 
did horse  with  Gloaming  in  his  string  after  they  were  sold  at 
the  Hearst  sale.

The   Story   of  Venus. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — Seeing  a  communi- 
cation in    your  valuable   paper  of    March   24,  1S84,  taken 
from     American     Sportsman     headed    "  Venus,    by    Capt. 
Webster,"'  and   as    my  name   was  mentioned    several  times  ' 
in    it    as    well  as    a    request    to    hear    from     the     other  ! 
side,  I  suppose  I  am  considered  as   one  of  that  denomina- 
tion,  therefore  I  wish  to  state  a  few  facts  to  controvert  those  | 
published   in   that  letter,  and  also   to  tell  something  of  the  ! 
horse  Venture  and  the  filly  afterwards  known  as  "  Venus." 

When  I  got  Venture  I  knew  that  there  was  a*  lilly  by  him  i 
about  three  miles  from  Oakland,  and,  being  anxious  to  get  one  ! 
of  his  colts,  I  investigated  the  breeding  of  this  filly  and  found  ' 
it  to  be  correct  as  far  as  Venture  was  concerned.    I  also  knew  I 
what  her  dam  was  sired  by,  but  that  is  not  brought  into  the 
question.     I  thought  I  ought  to   buy  her,  and  after  return-  j 
ing  home,  concluded  to  do  so.    A  heavy  rain  fell  that  after-  i 
noon  and  I  postponed  going  after  her  for  two  or  three  weeks,  ! 
then  another  gentleman  and  I  started  for  San  Leandro  to  buy  I 
her,  and  as  we  were  driving  past  a  livery  stable  owned  by  Sa-  I 
bin  Harris,  known  as  the  Palace  Livery  Stable,  the  proprie-  I 
tor,  Mr.  Harris,  stopped  us  and  requested  us  to  come  in-and  \ 
see  a  Venture  filly  that  he  had  bought.  We  did  so,  and  there  i 
was   the   identical   filly  we   were  going  to  buy.      He  had  | 
bought  her  the  day  before,  so  there  was  no  use  for  us  to  go  ! 
any  further.       Mr.   Sabin   Harris  kept   this  tilly,  and  she  ; 
showed  so  well  that  he  and  some  other  parties  entered  her  in  ! 
several  races  and   trotted  her  under  the  name  of  Venus  by  ! 
Venture.    See  agricultural  raports  for  1880.     He  then  sold 
her  to  Mr.  Wm.  Lyle  of  San  Francisco,  as  being  by  Venture 
Mr.  Lyle  kept  her  until  she  met  with  an  accident ;  he   then 
sold  her  to  Dan   McCarty,  and   the  pedigree  stated  that  she  j 
was  by  Venture.    McCarty  sold  her  to  the  late  G.  Valensin,  ! 
who  had  her  trained  and  entered  in  several  races  and  trotted 
her  under  the  name  of  Venus,  by  Venture.     During  all  this 
time  there  was  not  a  whisper  of  Capt.  Webster.    Now  this 
man   (Sabin   Harris)  who   knows  so  much   more  than   any 
other}  men  living  about  Venus,  according  to  Mr.   Greene, 
has  made  his  statement,  so   people  would  naturally  think : 
"  Well,  he  had  no  motive  in  starting  the  Capt.  Webster  story 
after  he  had  sold  the  mare,"  but  I  wish  to  tell  your  readers 
something  that  took  place  about  the  truth  of  this   Captain 
Webster  story. 

Mr.  Harris  bred  a  mare  to  Venture  while  he,  the  horse, 
was  in  my  possession.  After  repeatedly  requesting  to  pay  for 
same,  I  was  compelled  to  bring  suit  for  payment  of  the  ser- 
vice, and  Mr.  Greene  was  the  attorney  for  Mr.  Sabin  Har- 
ris. I  got  $40  instead  of  *50  as  was  agreed.  It  was  after 
this  that  the  Capt  Webster  pedigree  came  to  the  front.  Mr. 
Greene  says  my  wife  said  so  and  so,  and  ''why  did  I  keep 
still  so  many  years."  I  had  Venture  two  years  before  I  was 
married,  and  Venus  was  about  three  years  old  when  I  got 
Venture,  therefore  Mr.  Greene  must  be  in  error,  for  mv  wife 
could  not  know  anything  about  the  breeding  of  Veuus.  It  was 
a  mistake  of  five  years  but  then  that  is  nothing 
to  people  who  know  so  much,  for  did  they  not  give  Capt. 
Webster  a  record  of  about  thirty  seconds  faster  than  he  trot- 
ted? I  was  there  the  day  he  trotted  the  race  they  claim 
he  trotted  in  2:31,  and  know  whereof  I  speak.  Did  they  not 
figure  for  over  ten  years  to  make  the  dam  of  Capt.  Webster 
by  Hambletonian  10?  But  every  time  they  added  the  fig- 
ures they  found  that  the  mare  was  older  than  Rysdyk's  horse. 
In  regard  to  the  old  stallion  bills  found  in  the  stable  of  the 
man  who  bred  Venus.  You  could  find  Capt  Webster's  bills 
in  every  stable  in  the  county,  and  I  suppose  in  the  stud  that 
Capt.  Webster  got  at  least  fifty  colls  to  Venture's  one,  be- 
cause the  horse  could  not  trot  fast  enough  to  place  him  in 
races  of  any  importance,  except  it  might  be  some  scrub  race 
like  the  one  wherein  he  got  the  bogus  record.  There  was 
never  a  horse  claimed  for  Venture  but  what  he  was  entitled 
to,  but  not  so  with  Capt.  Webster,  for  did  they  not  claim 
Freestone,  record  2:29]  by  him  ?  And  only  last  year  they 
found  a  pacer  with  a  fast  record,  and  I  have  been  informed 
by  one  who  ought  to  know,  that  he  was  not  by  Capt.  Webster. 
Why,  I  beard  just  a  faint  whisper  that  the  dam  of  Directum 
was  by  Capt.  Webster,  but  they  must  have  given  that  asser- 
tion up.  In  another  place  Mr.  Greene  says  that  the  get  of 
Venture  were  cut  off  below  the  knee.  Now  I  have  seen  many 
of  Venture's  colts  but  I  have  never  seen  one  that  was  cut  off 
below  the  knee,  and  I  never  heard  of  any  one  making  this 
statement  before.  There  never  was  a  horse  foaled  with  a 
better  set  of  legs  than  Venture,  and  I  think  if  Mr.  Greene 
would  get  the  man  who  knows  so  much  about  finding  old 
stallion  bills  to  go  around,  I  think  he  would  find  those  cut- 
away below  the  knee  fellows  were  by  Capt.  Webster  and  not 
by  Venture.  As  to  Capt.  Webster's  being  a  faster  horse  than 
Venture  in  the  opinion  of  Mr.  Greene,  it  is  well  known  that 
Venture  trotted  some  pretty  hard  races  from  mile  heats  to 
four  miles  and  repeat.  He  beat  Harvest  t^ueen  two  mile 
heats;  he  beat  Billy  Hay  ward,  Alexander,  General  Reno  and 
several  others.  He  also  trotted  in  a  race  over  the  Oak- 
land track  in  2:27  k  in  a  large  field  of  horses.  These  are  only 
a  few  of  his  races  which  I  mention. 

Now  what  has  Capt.  Webster  done  to  show  against  the 
above  records  and  performances  but  his  fradulent  record  of 
2:31?  But  what  is  the  use  of  comparison?  I  have  known 
Capt.  Webster  since  he  was  three  years  old  and  I  never  knew 
that  he  met  with  an  accident  except  one,  and  that  was  that 
he  could  not  trot  fast  enough  to  keep  himself  warm. 

In  regard  to  my  keeping  silent  for  so  many  years  about 
Venture  beiDg  the  sire  of  Venus,  Mr.  Greene  is  mistaken,  1 
did  not  do  so.  I  spoke  about  it  at  the  time  the  fraud  was  first 
brought  out,  and  several  years  ago  I  spoke  of  it  in  the  office 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  and  I  told  the  same  truth 
to  Mr.  Saml.  Gamble  three  years  ago,  and  last  year  when  in 
Petaluma  I  was  shown  the  dam  of  Edwin  C,  and  1  spoke  of 
it  then ;  in  fact,  I  must  have  told  it  to  hundreds  of  others. 

Theabove  is  written  in  the  interest  of  all  horsemen  and  not 
in  the  interest  of  any  one  in  particular.  As  for  myself,  I 
have  no  interest  in  Venture  stock.  This  I  regret  very  much, 
for  I  think  he  was  one  horse  out  of  ten  thousand  and  I  shall 
never  see  his  equal. 

In  conclusion,  I  wish  to  say  that  the  Capt.  Webster  people 
never  mentioned,  as  far  as  I  know,  or  as  far  as  I  haye  heard 
or  read,  the  name  of  tbe  person  who  bred  Venus.  I  know  the 
name  of  tbe  man  who  bred  the  great  mare,  but  have  kept  it 
back  in  this  article  as  well  as  some  other  information  which 
I  will  use  in  tbe  future. 

Hoping  you  will  insert  this  in  your  next  week's  issue,  I 
am,  Yours  respectfully,

News    From    Montana. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Since  sending  your 
"ad  "  we  have  been  notified  that  the  Northern  Pacific  and 
Great  Northern  have  agreed  to  make  rales  of  one  fare  for 
both  ways  from  alt  points  on  their  lines.  By  this  arrange- 
ment horses  starting  from  Portland  pay  full  fare  to  Montana 
and  return  free.  The  same  applies  to  horses  from  Denver. 
Should  we  get  some  concession  from  the  Southern  Pacific  it 
will  be  quite  a  saving  to  California  horsemen,  and  will  un- 
doubtedly materially  swell  our  entries  and  attendance. 

A  great  many  horses  are  now  in  training  in  Montana, 
prominent  among  the  stables  being  those  of  Marcus  Daly 
(running,  trottine  and  pacing),  Higgins  Bros.,  Hon.  C.  W. 
Hoffman,  Tom  McTague,  S.  E.  Larrabie,  Barney  McGinley, 
Sam  Hanley,  J.  W.  Corrigan,  D.  O.  Btevins,  James  F.  Ke- 
own,  Wm.  Williams  and  Harry  Helms.  Several  other  Mon- 
tana stables  will  also  compete  on  the  circuit. 

Aside  from  the  Montana  horses  and  those  from  California, 
Oregon  and  Washington,  we  expect  quite  a  contingent  from 
Denver  (including  the  best  Texas  stables),  and  also  several 
from  other  points  in  the  East.  We,  of  course,  understand 
that  California  is  making  a  strong  bid  for  trotting  and  pacing 
horses,  but  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  that  California 
will  also  be  well  represented  in  Montana.  Liberal  conditions 
tfive  to  enter  and  four  to  start)  should  fill  all  our  classes,  and 
with  the  usual  liberality  of  maagements  and  the  best  of  bet- 
ting we  contend  that  we  offer  extra  inducements  to  horsemen. 
Special  races  for  all  classes  of  horses  will  be  given  so  that 
horsemen  may  be  sure  of  a  race  for  every  horse. 

Trotting  and  pacing  events  are  so  arranged  at  Anaconda 
and  Butte  that  a  horse  may  start  in  two  or  more  races  at  each 
meeting.  Please  state  that  we  have  decided  to  retain  the  old 
officials.     Yours  very  truly,  D.  P.  O'Connor. 

Butte,  Mont.,  April  3,  1S94. 

Thoroughbred  Department,  Palo  Alto. 


On  Sunday  last  Mr.  Henry  Walsh,  the  former  superin- 
tendent and  trainer  of  the  thoroughbred  department,  who 
was  in  charge  from  1S80  to  1892,  visited  his  old  home,  and* 
in  company  with  Mr.  F.  M.  Covey  and  Mr.  Chas.  Davies,  an 
old  employe  of  Palo  Alto  recently  appointed  foreman,  in- 
spected all  the  animals  on  tbe  place. 

The  stallions  were  first  looked  at — Flambeau,  Racine,  imp. 
Cyrus  and  Flood;  then  the  fillies— Flirtation,  Fidelia,  Charm, 
Muriel  and  Rosalie.  All  tbe  broodmares  were  gone  over, 
and  as  each  one  was  recognized  some  pleasant  remembrance 
was  uttered  by  the  old  trainer  in  connection  with  some  of 
their  produce  that  he  had  trained  and  started  under  the  blue 
and  orange.  Eight  of  the  mares  'selected  to  be  bred  to  the 
great  Ormonde  have  been  sent  to  Mr.  Macdonough's  farm. 
The  ninth,  imp.  Queen  Bess,  will  go  there  in  a  few  days.  Mr. 
Walsh  has  great  faith  in  this  mare,  as  her  colt,  Nero,  he  con- 
sidered a  great  race  horse.  The  rest  of  tbe  broodmares  will 
be  bred  to  Flambeau,  Racine  and  imp.  Cyrus. 

The  yearling  colts  and  fillies  were  looked  over,  and  as  the 
breeding  of  each  was  told  to  Mr.  Walsh  he  seemed  very 
much  interested,  as  many  of  the  young  stock  were  by  sires  be 
had  bred.  "Frank."  he  said, "  >.hey  are  a  fine-looking  lot 
and  well  enough  bred  to  insure  good  prices  at  the  next  sale." 

Going  through  the  old  training  stable  where  so  many  hours 
of  his  life  had  been  spent,  the  old  trainer  of  Palo  Alto  spied 
the  loved  colors  of  the  blue  and  orange  lying  among  other 
race  horse  equipments  on  the  floor.  "Charley,"  he  said, 
"hang  those  colors  up  and  take  good  care  of  them;  they 
have  never  been  disgraced."  Eio  Alto. 


Yo  Tambien'  may  be  considered  a  certain  starter  for  the 
Brooklyn  Handicap,  and  the  opinion,  backed  by  money,  is  to 
the  effect  that  the  great  California-bred  mare  will  land  the 
Gravesend  prize  on  May  loth.  That  the  Kendall  stables' 
crack  is  in  good  shape,  and  is  booked  to  engage  in  the  first  of 
the  spring  handicaps  was  shown  yesterday  at  Chicago  when 
two  leading  future  books  were  closed  with  a  commission 
against  $30,000,  divided  between  two  firms.  The  check 
wagered  against  $30,000  was  signed  by  Frank  Shaw,  who  is 
not  in  the  haoit  of  plunging  without  a  bit  of  inside  informa- 
tion. Yo  Tambien  was  tben  marked  "  full."  The  comniis- 
siou  was  undoubtedly  sent  on  advice  of  Chris  .Smith,  and  it  is 
reasonable  to  suppose  that  he  is  interested  in  the  wager  with 
Shaw.  Two  weeks  ago  Yo  Tambien  was  quoted  at  -50  to  1. 
Steady  backing  in  the  books  here  has  sent  her  price  down 
until  15  to  1  is  the  best  offer  to-night. 

Cy  Mulkey  has  purchased  for  A.  B.  Spreckels  Claude 
Burlingame's  well-known  race  mare,  Patricia,  and  the  sister 
to  Faro,  Nellie  Bell,  formerly  owned  by  A.  Y.  Stephenson. 
Patricia  is  a  bay  mare,  five  years  old,  by  St.  Paul  (son  of 
Alarm  and  Lady  Sal  vers,  by  Longfellow),  dam  Why  Not 
(dam  of  Misty  Morn),  by  George  Wilkes  (son  of  Asteroid  and 
Emma  Wright,  by  imp.  Margrave)  and  tracing  on  ihe  female 
side  to  the  twentieth  dam,  Layton  Barb  Mare.  Nellie  Bell  is 
by  Prince  of  Norfolk,  dam  ivondale  (sister  to  Hattie  Harris, 
Joe  Murphy's  dam),  by  Marmaduke  (son  of  Enquirer  and 
Catina);  second  dam  Pirouette,  by  Harvey  YUlian  (son  of 
Asteroid);  third  dam  Farfalelta  (dam  of  Falsetto  and  For- 
tuna),  by  imp.  Australian,  etc.     Consideration  private. 

Harry  Mason,  the  well-known  trainer  of  Gloaming  and 
Armitage,  at  present  handling  the  Pueblo  Stable  of  Naglee 
I  Burk,  came  up  from  San  Jose  yesterday.  He  pronounces 
the  Garden  City  track  simply  perfection,  and  says  no  better 
training  ground  can  be  found  anywhere  than  that  one.  The 
famous  mare  Gloaming  was  given  a  stiff"  bit  of  work  last  Sun- 
day to  see  if  her  suspicious  ankle  would  stand  her  well,  and 
she  went  as  sound  as  a  bell.  This  trial  was  witnessed  by  a 
number  of  Mr.  Mason's  friends  from  this  city,  and  the  many 
admirers  of  the  great  daughter  of  Sir  Mod  red  and  Twilight 
will  be  glad  to  hear  of  her  recovery.  She  will  now  be  pre- 
pared for  her  many  stake  engagements  on  the  other  side  of 
the  Rockies. 

Humphrey  Scllivan,  the  well-known  horseman  who 
brought  some  horses  to  Guatemala,  returned  last  week.  The 
climate  did  not  agree  with  him,  as  the  place  was  some  7,000 
feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea,  the  rarity  of  the  atmosphere 
seriously  afleeliog  his  lungs. 

Miss  Pickwick,  the  good-looking  chestnut  mare  owned 
by  W.  M.  Many,  of  Sacramento,  foaled  a  fine  bay  colt  by 
imp.  Loyalist  on  the  last  day  of  March. 

Sheriff  Geo.  Y.  Bollinger,  of  Santa  Clara,  is  a  splendid 
horseman  and  has  quite  a  string  of  valuable  Irotl

The  New  York  legislature  passed  a  bill  last  session  bind- 
ing the  State  to  pay  within  $50  of  the  value  of  all  horses 
dying  from  glanders.  W.  H.  Harrison,  A.  J.  Silvermates 
and  J.  H.  Allen  have  recently  lost  horses  by  the  dread  dis- 
ease. They  will  present  their  claims  for  recovery  during  the 
April  session  of  the  legislature. 

The  date  for  the  annual  fair  of  the  San  Benito  Agricul- 
tural Association  has  been  set  for  the  dates  of  October  2nd  to 
6ih,  inclusive.  The  speed  programme  will  be  prepared  at 
the  next  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors.  The  regular 
pavilion  display  will  be  held  at  Well's  Opera  House,  which 
has  been  greatly  enlarged  for  the  occasion. 

J.  O.  Mack,  one  of  the  owners  of  Anita,  2:26,  spent  last 
Friday  at  Witch  Hazel.  He  expressed  himself  as  surprised 
at  the  magnitude  it  lias  assumed  as  a  breeding  farm,  and  par- 
ticularly at  the  half  mile  covered  track  and  the  out-door  mile 
track.  Anita  will  be  campaigned  the  coming  season  in  Ore- 
gon, Montana  and  California. —Rural  Spirit. 

Mb.  Durfee's  string  this  year  will  consist  of  McKinney, 
2:11  j;  Gossiper,  2:i4f;  McZeus,  2:29 £,  by  McKinney,  and 
Gazelle,  2:29},  by  Gossiper,  both  two-year-old  race  records; 
Harvey  Mc,  another  two  year-old,  and  Jennie  Mc,  a  year- 
ling, both  by  McKinney.  He  will  also  have  Leonor,  2:24}, 
and  Etta  Wilkes,  no  record,  besides  several  others. 

The  Winchester  (Ky.)  half-mile  trotting  track  has  been 
leased  for  a  term  of  five  years  by  J.  Brook  Curry,  of  Lexing- 
ton. Mr.  Curry  will  take  fifteen  head  of  trotting  stock  there 
including  two  fast  three-year-old  fillies  by  Algeria  Wilkes. 
Curry  and  St.  Clair  recently  sold  the  Alcyone  stallion  Dark- 
night  to  Christe  Schaurt,  of  Germany,  for  $S,000. 

Chas  A,  Dqrfee  has  just  received  a  carload  of  mares 
from  Stockton  to  be  bred  to  McKinney.  Among  them  are 
one  by  Hawthorne,  one  by  Director,  one  By  Dexter  Prince, 
one  by  Sidney,  one  by  Stamboul,  one  by  Richard's  Elector 
and  one  by  Nephew.  As  they  are  all  good  mares,  it  would 
be  safe  to  look  out  for  some  bread-winners  from  the  produce. 

A  note  from  a  friend  in  Buffalo  contains  some  very  breezy 
talk  about  Robert  J.  It  is  expected  by  his  admirers  that  this 
horse  will  hold  the  world's  fastest  record  when  the  present 
season  ends.  The  note  referred  to  says  he  is  looking  as 
"fine  as  a  fiddle,"  and  that  he  is  taking  his  work  well.  Night- 
ingale, too,  is  expected  to  cause  a  little  excitement  this  year. 

Lily  Stanley,  2:1 7},  dropped  a  splendidly-formed  brown 
colt,  by  Direct,  2:051,  last  Saturday,  and  H.  Pierce,  the 
owner,  on  Feeing  what  a  beauty  it  was,  at  once  declared  that 
Lily  should  be  mated  again  with  Direct.  Unlike  the  rest  of 
this  mare's  foals  this  one  is  not  leggy,  but  is  ''all  horse  from 
the  ground  up"  and  as  perfectly  proportioned  as  if  it  was  two 
months  old. 

W.  B.  Fasig  is  strongly  opposed  to  colt  trotting.  He  con- 
siders it  the  most  deleterious  of  influences  upon  our  horses, 
and  even  goes  so  far  as  to  hold  that  no  animal  should  start  in 
a  race  until  fully  matured,  which  means  at  least  five  years 
of  age.  He  believes  in  legislation,  either  State  or  National, 
on  the  ground  of  cruelty  to  animals,  prohibiting  these  preco- 
cious performances. 

Van  B.  DeLashmutt,  of  Portland,  Or.,  is  making  prepa- 
rations for  a  breeding  farm  in  Eastern  Oregon  or  Washing- 
ton, for  speedy  horses.  He  will  take  from  Witch  Hazel  farm 
several  fine  stallions  and  a  large  number  of  broodmares.  He 
thinks  the  climate,  grassand  open  range  of  the  bunch  grass 
country  are  far  superior  to  those  west  of  the  Cascade  moun- 
tains and  the  lands  are  cheaper. 

J.  Donnelly's  fine  Le  Grand  stallion  Beaumont,  2:23J,  is 
looking  better  than  ever;  he  will  be  seen  on  the  California 
circuit  this  year.  His  colts  and  lillies  are  all  very  promising 
and,  if  all  reports  are  true,  this  chestnut  horse  will  be  one  of 
the  leading  sires  in  California  in  a  few  years.  There  are  only 
a  few  sons  of  Le  Grand  living,  but  their  progeny  will  be 
noted  for  speed,  gameness,  perfection  of  form,  soundness, 
style  and  action. 

By  By  (sister  to  Lockheart,  2:13),  being  by  Nutwood,  out 
of  Rapidan.  by  Dictator,  dropped  a  beautiful  bay  filly  by  tiny 
Wilkes,  2:15|,  last  Monday  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm. 
When  Pierce  Bros.,  her  owners,  hear  this  good  news,  the 
probabilities  are  more  than  favorable  that  they  will  try  and 
induce  Mr.  Corbitt  to  let  them  breed  the  great  mare  again  to 
the  mighty  son  of  George  Wilkes. 

CHARLES  Millkk,  of  Chieags,  president  of  the  Galena  Oil 
Cempaiiy,  is  stopping  at  the  Palace  Hotel.  Mr.  Miller  and 
.1.  C.  Sibley,  of  Pennsylvania,  comprise  the  firm  of  Miller 
*V  Sibley  who  own  the  great  trotting  horse  stock  farm  at 
Meadville,  Penn.,  which  is  known  as  "The  Palo  Alto  of  the 
East."  A  larger  number  of  California-bred  horses  and  mares 
were  purchased  by  these  gentlemen  at  the  Eastern  sales  and 
on  the  farm  at  Mcnlo  Park,  than  by  any  other  horseman  in 
the  East.  Chas.  Marvin  in  siiperiutenden't  of  their  large  stock

The  following  horses  from  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm,  the 
property  of  Captain  Griffith,  of  San  Francisco,  arrived  at 
Pleasanton  yesterday  and  are  now  quartered  at  the  Pleasan- 
ton Stock  Farm  :  A  two-year-old  filly  by  Stamboul;  three- 
year-old  filly  by  Albert  \V\,  sire  of  Little  Albert,  2:10,  out  of 
the  dam  of  Flying  Jib;  two-year-old  filly  AltaVila,  by  Palo 
Alto,  out  of  a  mare  by  Sultan  ;  Rachel  Welch,  ch  filly  anda 
two-year-old  colt  by  Stamboul — Direct. 

It  was  the  misfortune  of  C.  W.  Welby,  who  has  a  stock 
farm  upon  the  J.  V.  Davis  ranch  at  Westport,  to  lose  a  val- 
uable stallion  last  week  by  death.  The  stallion  was  known 
as  Frank  Morgan,  and  was  purchased  from  Larabee  Ranch, 
Montana.  At  one  time  the  animal  was  sold  for  $25,000.  A 
veterinary  surgeon  from  Stockton  was  telegraphed  for,  but  he 
arrived  after  the  horse  had  died,  lie  was  between  eight  and 
nine  years  of  age. 

The  Edgemont  Park  Stock  Farm  of  Savanna,  Cal.,  has 
sent  out  very  neat  stallion  cards  this  spring,  on  which  the 
following  stallions  are  pedigreed  and  described:  Redondo, 
2:23,  by  Stamboul,  2:07:},  out  of  Dido,  by  Hiatoga ;  Harry 
Winchester,  2:27},  by  Stamboul,  out  of  Jessie  Ballard,  by  Ar- 
chy's  Hambletonian  ;  Jud  Wilkes,  2:29,  by  Ira  Wilkes,  out 
ofChampion  Maid,  by  Champion  Messenger,  and  Freckles, 
2:30,  by  Wilton,  out  of  Gray  Diana,  by  Administrator. 

A  weekly  New  York  paper  is  giviug  the  Californians 
kindly  advice  and  predicting  the  early  death  of  the  newly  or- 
ganized California  Association.  If  we  mistake  not  the  same 
paper,  back  in  1SS7,  predicted  a  short  life  and  a  sudden 
death  in  the  lap  of  bankruptcy  for  the  American  Trotting 
Association,  and  besought  the  stray  sheep  to  return  to  the 
Hartford  fold.  The  American  Association  still  lives,  and  the 
stray  sheep  did  not  mistake  a  bray  for  the  call  of  the  shep- 
herd.— Clark's  Review. 

During  the  Terre  Haute  Fair  $85,000  will  be  distributed 
among  the  trotters  and  pacers.  Three  of  the  events  that  will 
be  decided  on  that  date  closed  some  time  ago,  and  the  condi- 
tions of  thirteen  purses  are  now  before  the  public.  Four  of 
the  events  in  this  list  have  a  $5,000  purse  attached.  Six  of 
them  are  worth  $2,000  and  the  balance  $1,500.  The  nomina- 
tions to  these  purses  close  April  16th.  Send  for  entry  blanks 
to  Frank  McKeen,  Terre  Haute,  Ind. 

There  was  quite  a  large  gathering  at  Agricultural  Park, 
Sacramento,  last  Saturday,  to  witness  the  roadster  race  be- 
tween Roderick,  Sullivan's  maie,  Don  Fallisand  Becky  Ma- 
gee.  The  first  heat  was  so  close  between  Roderick  and  Don 
Fallis  that  it  was  declared  a  dead  heat  in  2:31.  Roderick 
won  the  second  heat  in  2:32A,  the  Sullivan  mare  the  third 
in  2:36,  Becky  Magee  the  fourth  in  2:42-}  and  the  Sullivan 
mare  the  fifth  and  sixth  in  2:34  and  2:35.  Don  Fallis  was 
distanced  iu  the  third  heat. 


Slight  touches  of  colic  may  be  quickly  relieved  by  giving 
the  horse  a  tablespoonful  of  saleratus  or  baking  soda  in  a 
glass  of  water.  If  it  does  not  yield  to  this,  10  to  15  drcps  of 
aconite  may  be  administered.  It  is  easy  to  make  most  horses 
drink  by  holding  their  heads  high  and  forcing  the  neck  of  a 
thick  stone  bottle  containing  the  liquid  into  the  side  of  the 
mouth.  After  the  liquid  has  all  left  the  bottle  the  head  must 
still  be  kept  up  for  a  few  minutes  to  compel  the  patient  to 
swallow  it  and  not  lose  it  from  his  mouth. 


"Drivers  are  fast  waking  up  to  the  importance  of, steady 
and  accurate  scoring,"  writes  Percy  in  the  Horse  Breeder. 
"  I  have  seen  the  late  James  H.  Goldsmith  score  them  almost 
all  the  forenoon  till  they  went  off  on  a  trot.  He  would  jog 
them  from  one  to  four  miles,  then  commence  the  scoring ;  go 
to  the  eighth  pole  with  them,  stop,  walk  them  back,  and  score 
again.  After  a  little  while  have  them  washed  out,  and  may 
be  give  a  slow  mile,  then  a  coolout.  His  horses  got  away 
well  most  of  the  time,  as  his  wonderful  record  the  year  pre- 
ceding his  death  shows.  He  won  more  races  than  any  other 
driver,  drove  nearly  double  the  number,  and  campaigned  a 
large  stable  from  May  till  November." 

R.  D.  Crawfroth,  superintendent  of  the  Fair  Ranch,  So- 
noma, has  been  making  a  large  number  cf  improvements  at 
this  splendid  farm,  and  if  be  carries  out  his  ideas  it  will  be 
the  model  stock  farm  of  California.  The  race  track  is  being 
covered  with  a  coating  of  splendid  soil  and  when  it  is  finished 
no  better  track  for  either  summer  or  winter  use  will  be  found 
in  this  State.  He  has  just  commenced  to  give  his  string  of 
horses  some  work,  and  when  the  bell  rings  at  the  summer 
meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.,  he  will  have  a  string  of 
youngsters  ready  tbat  will  be  creditable  not  only  to  himself 
but  to  the  judgment  of  their  owner  in  their  selection  and  his 
choice  of  a  suitable  stock  farm  to  breed  and  develop  such 
fast  horses.  

The  pneumatic  horse  collar  is  the  latest  invention  of  this 
marvelously  inventive  age.  The  part  which  comes  in  con- 
tact with  the  horse  is  as  smooth  as  glass  and  sufficiently  pliable 
to  give  with  every  motion  of  the  animal.  The  air  valves  are 
so  constructed  as  to  preclude  the  possibility  of  any  leakage 
even  under  the  heaviest  pressure,  and  are  covered  by  neatly- 
hced  leather  Haps,  leaving  the  surface  perfectly  even.  The 
highest  veterinary  of  Canada,  whence  the  invention 
originated,  says:  "  I  expect  it  lobe  a  valable  preven- 
tive of  sore  shoulders  and  muscular  strains,  arising  from 
badly  fitting  and  sweat-hardened  collars.especially  during  hot 
weather,  by  fitting  the  neck  and  shoulders  accurately  and  re- 
bounding from  the  skin  when  the  pressure  ceases,  thus  allow- 
ing the  air  to  cool  and  sooth  the  skin." 


William  R.  Jenkins,  of  New  York,  is  about  to  publish 
a  work  entitled  "  The  Foot  of  the  Horse,"  by  David  Roberge. 
It  is  safe  to  predict  that  "  The  Foot  of  the  Horse"  will  arouse 
great  interest,  as  it  is  written  by  one  closely  associated  with 
Mr.  Robert  Bonner  for  twenty-five  "years  in  his  study  and 
practice  of  the  art  of  horse-shoeing.  The  work  will  be  found 
entirely  new  and  on  a  different  plan  from  anything  of  the 
kind  which  has  yet  been  presented,  inasmuch  that  lameness 
and  all  diseases  of  the  foot  are  traced  to  an  unbalanced  foot 
bone,  and  Mr.  Roberge  declares  that  all  lamenesses  and  dis- 
eases may  be  prevented  or  cured  by  simply  balancing  the 
foot.  The  work  will  be  fully  illustrated,  showing  improved 
methods  os  shoeing  horses,  and  it  is  claimed  that  they  are  so 
simple  that  anyone  endowed  with  ordinary  intellect  may 
readily  perceive  how  accurately  he  might  arrive  at  the  pre- 
cise source  of  trouble  aud  make  a  correct  diagnosis,  thereby 
enabling  him  to  prescribe  a  specific  for  each  case  that  pre- 
sents itself.  This  work  has  been  the  life  study  of  Mr.  Rob- 
erge. To  it  he  has  devoted  everything  for  forty-five  years.

THE  SADDLE. 


Happy  Day  is  back  into  his  old   form,  and  will  be  a  hard 
one  to  beat  from  this  out  over  a  fast  tr.ack. 


Connaught,  the  Joe  Daniels— Santa  Rosa  gelding,  has 
changed  hands.    F.  F.  Shortell  owns  him  now. 

H.  C.  Boyd  purchased  the  horse  Joe  Ellis  from  Wm.  Dona- 
than.  The  fast  son  of  Ironclad  will  be  used  as  a  sire  of 
saddle  horses. 


Br  aw  Scot  has  been  sold  to  Barney  Schreiber.  Terms 
private.  It  is  dollars  to  doughnuts  he  will  win  thousands 
for  his  new  owner. 

The  iEtna  Stable  of  Hankins  &  Johnson  and  Andy  Blake- 
ley  will  leave  this  week  for  the  East.  The  latter  goes  to 
Chicago  on  Wednesday  to  take  up  his  jumpers  there. 

W.  C.  Bishop  has  turned  his  recent  purchase,  Pasha,  out 
on  Merriwa  Stock  Farm  (formerly  Valensin)  until  next  fall. 
Red  Cloud  may  be  gelded  and  sent  to  the  same  place. 

Lazzabone,  supposed  to  be  the  best  of  the  Western  three- 
year-olds,  will  make  his  first  race  this  year  in  the  Arkansas 
Derby,  which  is  to  be  run  at  Little  Rock,  Aik.,  on  Monday, 
April  2.  

The  full  brother  to  Reporter,  owned  bv  the  Messrs. 
Keene,  has  been  very  aptly  named  Inquirendo.  His  sire  is 
Enquirer.  The  colt  has  a  better  disposition  than  hie  sulky 
brother. 

Braw  Scot  is  almost  invincible  just  now  at  any  distance 
up  to  sis  and  a  half  furlongs.  He  is  the  cheapest  $900  horse 
sold  in  maoy  a  day,  and  will  be  another  gold  mine  for  Barney 
Schreiber.  

The  two-year-old  filly  in  Byron  McClelland's  string  by 
Strathmore — May  Day,  has  done  the  hest  work  of  any  young- 
ster thus  far  this  season,  so  far  as  Kentucky  is  concerned — 
half  a  mile  in  Q:blh  easily. 

"  Bill  "  Daly  will  start  his  campaign  this  year  with  a 
string  of  thirty-six  horses  and  with  the  lad  Keefe  as  his 
jockey,  unless  he  can  get  "  Jimmy  "  Lamley  back  in  his  em- 
ploy, which  is  very  doubtful. 


Messrs.  James  R.  and  F.  P.  Keene's  Chorister,  4,  by  Fal- 
setto— Addie  C,  has  been  permanently  retired  to  the  stud 
(sent  to  the  Keene  farm  near  LexiDgton,  Ky.),  it  being 
thought  impossible  to  train  him.  Chorister  went  amiss  after 
the  American  Derby,  and  nothing  has  been  done  with  him 
sicce  that  time. 

W.  O'B  Macdonough  is  having  anything  but  good  luck. 
It  seems  that  only  one  of  the  nine  mares  he  imported  from 
England  is  in  foal  to  Ormonde,  the  great.  The  long  trip  is 
accountable  for  this  state  of  affairs.  As  Ormonde  yearlings 
are  expected  to  average  $10,000,  this  means  a  loss  to  the 
young  millionaire  of  $80,000. 


Major  B.  G.  Thomas,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  is  training  a 
full  brother  to  that  good  colt  French  Park.  In  his  list  of 
two-year-olds  in  training  is  a  brother  in  blood  to  Domino. 
This  youngster  is  said  to  be  faster  than  Domino  was  in  his 
early  training.  A  two-year-old  by  Himyar — Bordilla,  from 
this  stable  went  a  half  mile  in  0:52o  recently.  The 
Himyar  two-year-olds  are  showing  up  remarkably  well  in 
their  training,  and  the  present  outlook  favors  another  great 
year  for  the  son  of  Alarm. 


The  State  Senate  of  New  York  on  March  21st  passed  the 
Fish  bill,  which  provides  for  a  tax  of  5  per  cent,  on  the  gross 
receipts  of  all  racing  associations.  It  will  now  go  before  the 
Governor  and  is  reasonably  sure  to  become  law. 

"Moose"  Taylor  writes  a  friend  in  this  city  that  James 
R.  and  Foxhall  Keene  have  secured  a  second  call  on  his  ser- 
vices as  jockey  this  season.  The  young  horse-pilot's  ability 
is  evidently  appreciated  at  the  East.     It  certainly  is  here. 

G.  W.  Leihy  &  Son's  good  race  mare  Acclaim,  by  Three 
Cheers — Rosette,  has  broken  down,  and  will  be  bred  to  Bal- 
gowan,  who  also  is  suspected  of  being  a  bit  dickey  about  the 
legs.     Balgowan  has  been  under  suspicion  for  a  long  time. 

"Jack"  certainly  covered  himself  with  glory  last  Satur- 
day when  he  picked  five  straight  winners  and  two  placed 
horses.  He  called  the  steeplechase  one-two-three.  "Don 
Fulano"did  well  also,  calling  three  winners  out  of  five 
races.  

Kentigerna,  who  was  expected  to  be  the  best  of  this 
year's  three-year-old  fillies,  has  not  grown  much  during  the 
winter,  and  the  critics  say  she  is  light  for  her  height,  16 
hands.  She  always  acted  as  if  she  would  do  best  over  a  dis- 
tance of  ground.  

Yarranaebee,  the  brown  Australian  mare  sold  at  the  Lo- 
pez sale  to  A.  B.  Spreckels,  made  her  debut  here  last  Satur- 
day, and  ran  close  up  to  the  very  speedy  Midget  until  well  in 
the  homestretch,  finishing  a  good  fourth.  The  five  furlongs 
were  run  in  1:01£-  

Carlsbad,  the  American  Derby  winner  of  1892  is  now  at 
Mobile,  Ala.,  in  charge  of  Cliff  Porter.  It  is  believed  that 
Carlsbad  will  stand  training  again  this  year,  and  in  the  event 
that  he  can  be  gotten  ready  he  will  surely  be  sent  for  the 
Brooklyn  handicap. 

Sam  Brown,  the  erratic  ownsr  of  Proctor  Knott,  winner 
of  the  first  Coney  Island  Futurity,  has  been  in  hard  luck  the 
past  three  years,  and  has  been  forced  to  sell  his  farm  near 
Churchill  Downs,  Ky.  The  purchaser  was  R.  S.  Strader,  of 
Lexington,  Ky.,  and  the  price  paid  $5,000. 

Venus  is  surely  a  most  erratic  filly.  On  the  21st  inst.  she 
took  up  115  pounds  and  won  at  half  a  mile  in  0:49|  quite 
easily,  beating  Gasser  and  Lady  Jane.  Yesterday  she  was 
beaten  off  about  five  lengths  in  0:50,  and  only  carried  105 
pounds.  Such  running  causes  a  lot  of  talk  not  at  all  favor- 
able.   

A  St.  Louis,  Mo.  dispatch  of  March  27th  says:  Jack 
White  and  W.  A.  Babb  have  made  a  match  between  Weir's 
Flattery  aad  Babb's  Guido  at  six  furlongs.  White  backs 
Flattery.  The  race  is  for  $2,500  a  side,  and  will  be  run  over 
the  East  St.  Louis  track  as  soon  as  Flattery  is  ready,  which 
will  he  in  about  ten  days. 

Cy  Mulkey  has  had  marked  success  with  the  Spreckels 
horses  since  he  took  charge  of  them.  Out  of  seven  starts  he 
has  won  five  races  and  been  third.  In  the  former  trainer's 
hands  Candid  did  not  make  much  of  a  showing  and  of  Bor- 
der Lassie  the  same  might  be  said.  Mr.  Mulkey,  however, 
has  got  these  fillies  in  grand  shape,  and  it  will  take  a  sure- 
eDough  good  one  to  beat  either  of  them. 

Zenobia  on  Saturday  last  broke  the  local  track  record  for 
five  furlongs,  held  since  October  31,  1891,  by  Fox.  The  lat- 
ter^ record,  1:00  3  5,  was  made  with  113  pounds  up  in  a  five- 
furlong  heat  race,  tnkerman  and  Oregon  Eclipse  forcing  Fox 
out  in  this  time.  Zenobia  (who  could  have  gone  in  about 
1:00  fiat  last  Saturday)  carried  but  70  pounds.  Royal  Flush 
(87  pounds  up)  ran  second  and  Lottie  D.  (the  pace-maker) 
third.  

The  Lincolnshire  Handicap  of  1,000  sovereigns,  added  to 
a  swpepstake  of  30  sovereigns  each,  three  years  old  and  up- 
ward, over  the  straight  mile,  was  won  ou  March  27ih  by 
Baron  de  Rothschild's  Le  Nicbam,  tour  years  old.  Daniel 
Cooper's  Juvenile,  three  years  old,  was  second,  and  Sir  J. 
Blundell  Maple's  Macready,  five  years  old,  third.  Nineteen 
horses  ran.  Le  Nicham,  the  winner,  is  by  Tristan,  dam  Le 
Noce,  and  carried  110  pounds.  The  odds  against  her  were  5 
tol. 


Charley  Weber  left  for  Memphis,  Tenn.,  last  Sunday 
night,  where  he  goes  to  do  the  lightweight  riding  for  Ed. 
Corrigan,  the  Master  of  Hawthorne.  The  young  rider  has 
made  a  record  at  the  local  meetings  second  to  no  lightweight 
ever  on  this  coast,  and  carries  with  him  the  best  wishes  of 
all  admirers  of  a  capable  and  honest  rider  of  race  horses. 

Some  of  "Snip"  Donovan's  friends  have  begun  an  agita- 
tion to  secure  his  release  from  the  New  Jersey  State  Prison, 
where  he  is  now  serving  a  ten  years'  sentence  for  a  murder 
committed  at  Monmouth  Park  last  summer.  Donovan,  who 
was  Pierre  Lorillard's  trainer,  has  a  lot  of  friends  among 
politicians  here  and  in  New  Jersey,  and  they  are  back  of  the 
plan  for  release. 

William  Donathan  has  sold  to  A.  B.  Spreckels  the  four- 
year-old  bay  mare,  imp.  Atossa,  by  Dunlop  (winner  of  the 
Melbourne  Cup),  dam  Catherine  Wheel,  by  Wellington,  etc. 
Consideration,  $1,500.  Atossa  is  as  fast  as  a  ghost,  but  al- 
most too  nervous  to  amount  to  much  as  a  race  mare.  She  is 
however,  royally-bred  and  a  fine  individual.  She  will  be  bred, 
to  imp.  Crichton. 

To  keep  the  bookmakers  from  sending  out  tickets  by 
friends,  the  California  Jockey  Club  folks  have  adopted  a 
novel  scheme.  They  charge  them  $95  each  per  day  for  the 
privilege  of  making  book,  and  make  them  pay  the  regular 
admission  fee  of  $1.  The  ordinary  admission  tickets,  too, 
have  coupons  to  them,  so  that  five  tickets  will  not  now  bring 
in  ten  or  fifteen  men. 

"Jimmy"  Rowe,  popular  as  jockey,  trainer  and  starter, 
who  has  spent  the  winter  in  California,  will  not  return  East 
until  about  the  1st  of  May,  according  to  a  private  letter.  He 
had  expected  to  return  this  month  to  see  about  his  situation 
as  starter  at  the  local  race  tracks,  but  has  been  assured  that 
he  will  be  employed  by  the  Jockey  Club  as  their  official 
starter  at  the  old  rates,  $100  per  day. — Exchange. 

The  new  race  track  at  Wyanadotte,  near  Kansas  City,  col- 
lapsed last  week,  owing  to  the  management's  failure  to  pay 
purses.  When  the  time  came  to  start  up  yesterday's  pro- 
gramme Manager  Lovia  was  nowhere  to  be  found,  and  it  was 
discovered  that  the  track  had  no  backing  whatever.  The 
horsemen  then  got  together  and  agreed  to  carry  out  the  pro- 
gramme for  some  days.  It  may  be  decided  to  run  the  track 
the  balance  of  the  thirty  days  as  advertised. 

Gilead,  the  bay  colt  from  Wilber  Smith's  stable  that  ran 
imp.  Candid  to  a  head  last  Saturday  in  the  mile  and  a  quar- 
ter handicap,  is  entered  in  the  Kentucky  Derby  of  1894,  and 
so  fast  is  the  son  of  St.  Saviour  and  Mistake  improving  that 
he  should  make  some  of  the  Kentucky  cracks  do  their  pretti- 
est to  beat  him  should  the  popular  Sacramentan  send  him  to 
Louisville.  The  Kentucky  Derby  will  be  run  about  the  mid- 
dle of  May. 

What  a  great  change  for  the  better  has  come  over  the 
Spreckels  string  since  Cy  Mulkey  tcok  charge  of  them!  Can- 
did, the  black  Australian  mare,  has  won  two  rattling  good 
races,  Border  Lassie  is  a  real  clinker  among  the  tbree-year- 
olds,Pat  Murphy  and  Piquante  among  the  two-year-olds, while 
Yarranabbee,  Chevy  Chase,  Lista  Hock  and  others  will  doubt- 
less soon  be  heard  from.  A.  B.  Spreckels  and  Mr.  Mulkey  are 
old  friends. 

Race  track  managers  in  the  East,  yielding  to  public 
opinion,  are  seriously  considering  doing  away  with  book  mak- 
ing at  the  tracks  and  returning  to  French  mutuel  and  auction 
pools  as  the  only  means  of  sj^eculation  at  the  tracks  near  this 
city.  The  opposition  of  the  Messrs.  Dwyer  and  a  few  others 
will  probably  prevent  the  plan  being  carried  out  this  year, 
but  it  is  pretty  sure  to  come  in  1895.  The  plan  will  wipe  out 
the  most  objectionable  thing  about  racing  at  the  present  time, 
and  will  also  lessen  the  probability  of  fraud.  Bookmakers, 
heavy  bettors  and  unprincipled  owners,  trainers  and  jockeys 
are  the  principal  opponents  of  the  scheme. — N.  Y.  Times. 

The  Coney  Island  Jockey  Club  announces  three  additional 
stakes  to  be  run  on  the  turf  course  at  the  June  meeting,  as 
follows:  Daisy  Stakes,  for  two-year-olds,  $25  each,  $10  for- 
feit, $1,250  adde-3,  five  furlongs  ;  Pansy  Stakes,  for  two  year- 
olds,  $25  each,  $10  forfeit,  $1,250  added,  six  furlongs,  and 
Grass  Inaugural  Stakes, for  three-year-olds  and  upward,  $25 
each,  $10  forfeit,  welter  weights,  allowances,  seven  furlongs. 
The  fact  that  these  events  are  framed  on  the  old  style  of 
added  money  may  be  construed  as  indicating  that  the  club 
has  already  "  weakened"  somewhat  on  the  usefulness  of  the 
"guaranteed  cash  value"  system. 

That  nailing  good  son  of  Iroquois,  Senator  Grady,  has  fur- 
nished considerably  and  has  grown  taller.  He  now  measures 
15.1 2,  and  every  inch  of  him  is  racehorse.  He  is  also  one  of 
the  soundest  horses  that  was  ever  saddled,  has  grand  action 
and  is  one  of  the  gamest  horses  in  training.  The  question  is, 
how  Domino  or  anything  else  is  going  to  down  him  over  a 
distance  of  ground?  The  colt  is  bred  for  stamina.  Domino 
is  not,  at  least  he  has  nothing  like  the  same  staying  lineage 
that  the  other  has  from  both  his  sire  and  dam,  so  that  I  think 
Senator  Grady's  conqueror  will  have  to  be  some  other  than 
the  brilliant  black.-  -Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

Mr.  J.  D.  Lewis,  owner  of  Tarcoola,  the  Melbourne  Cup 
winner  of  1893,  paid  us  a  very  pleasant  visit  Monday.  He 
says  Australia  is  very  dull  these  days,  land  booms  and  strikes 
having  ruined  many  persons,  and  racing  is  not  as  lucrative  a 
business  as  it  was.  Mr.  Lewis  saw  Stromboli  win  the  other 
day,  and  thinks  he  was  literally  thrown  into  that  handicap 
at  116  pounds.  Maxim,  in  his  opinion,  is  destined  to  make 
a  great  name  as  a  sire,  as  almost  all  the  Muskets  are  successes 
at  the  slud.  Certainly  he  was  the  great  race  horse  from  the 
Antipodes.  He  owns  Templestone,  thp  best  son  of  Chester- 
field, and  this  colt  has  been  very  successful  in  races  of  about 
six  furlongs.  Mr.  Lewis  left  this  morning  for  a  visit  to  Rancho 
del  Paso,  and  expects  to  return  soon  via  Victoria  to  his  native 
land. 


The  Duke  of  Beaufort,  well  known  by  repute  in  this  coun- 
try, not  only  because  he  is  the  editor  of  the  Badminton  Li- 
brary, but  because  he  sent  a  colt,  Strathrose,  to  this  country 
to  race  in  the  last  American  Derby  at  Chicago  retired  from 
the  turf  this  week.  His  entire  stud  was  sold  at  auction  by 
Tattersall's  on  Wednesday.  The  Duke  was  greatly  discour- 
aged because  he  never  won  either  the  Derby  or  St.  Leger.  He 
now  parts  with  Son  o'  Mine.  This  horse  and  Matchbox  are 
expected  to  be  Ladas'  chief  opponents  for  the  Derby  this 
spring. 

Connoisseur,  the  brother  to  Sir  Excess,  is  one  of  the  very 
best-looking  two-year-olds  I  have  seen  this  year.  He  has  no 
resemblance  to  his  elder  brother  at  all.  He  stands  15.2!,  and 
is  a  truly-made  colt  of  the  lengthy,  level  order.  He  is  as 
well-developed  and  altogether  as  good  a  type  of  a  high-class 
two-year-old  as  a  man  could  want  to  see.  With  very  little 
handling  last  Fall  he  showed  that  he  could  fly,  and  no  colt 
could  have  done  better  than  he  has  done  all  the  winter.  Here, 
therefore,  is  one  that  must  race,  and  race,  too,  with  weight 
up.  Any  man  that  fancies  be  has  a  mortgage  on  the  two- 
year-old  events  is  sadly  mistaken,  as  there  are  any  amount  of 
smashing  young  racehorses  to  make  their  appearance.  Elec- 
tor, by  bay  colt  by  Salvator — Electra,  is  on  the  small  side, 
but  is  a  handsome  fellow  with  good  action.  The  chestnut 
filly  by  Tyrant — Stella,  is  a  lengthy  and  very  racy-looking 
sort  with  lots  of  quality. — Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

The  r*port  that  Gottfried  Walbaum  was  interested  with 
"  Ed"  Corrigan  in  a  new  track  at  San  Francisco  was  neither 
confirmed  nor  denied  when  I  saw  him  at  the  Saratoga  Asso- 
ciation's rooms  on  Saturday.  From  his  conversation,  how- 
ever, I  inferred  that  he  contemplated  taking  stock  in  the 
venture.  Relative  to  the  popularity  of  the  sport  in  Cali- 
fornia he  said  :  "  Racing  near  San  Francisco  would  unques- 
tionably be  a  success  if  given  four  or  five  months  in  the  year, 
say  commencing  in  November  and  continuing  until  April. 
With  the  assurance  that  meetings  would  be  given  during 
these  months  a  number  of  Eastern  turfmen  would  make  San 
Francisco  their  headquarters  duringthe  winter.  As  matters 
now  stand  the  Bay  District  track  is  only  held  on  a  thirtv 
day's  lease,  and  this  is  renewed  every  thirty  days.  It  is 
liable  to  be  opened  out  for  streets  at  any  moment,  and  this 
fact  prevents  owners  and  trainers  in  this  section  from  making 
the  journey." — N.  Y.  Herald,  March  10. 

Col.  W.  E.  Applegate,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  will  not  have 
a  book  on  the  line  this  season.  It  will  be  the  first  time  that 
he  has  not  handled  the  chalk  and  the  rubber  in  fifteen  years. 
He  will  also  dispose  of  every  one  of  his  horses  in  training  be- 
fore the  end  of  this  season.  Col.  Applegate  will,  after  this 
season,  confine  his  efforts  to  the  breeding  of  bangtails,  and 
will  probably  never  race  them  again.  He  has  a  big  stock 
farm  insight  of  Lexington.  Thegreat  bread-winning  stallion 
Fonso,  none  of  whose  get  was  ever  trained  that  did  not  win,  is 
the  star  boarder  at  his  establishment.  He  has  about  fifty 
broodmares.  Col.  Applegate  is  looking  after  the  interests  of 
the  Western  Bookmakers'  Association.  He  said  recently 
that  the  association  had  made  a  bid  of  $2,000  a  day  for  the 
betting  privileges  at  Memphis,  and  that  the  proposition 
would  be  acted  on  in  a  few  days.  Said  Col.  Applegate  : 
"The  association  will  not  bid  on  the  Latonia  privileges  until 
after  the  meeting  at  Memphis.  We  want  to  get  a  line  on 
the  betting.  Hard  times  have  had  a  bad  effect  on  the  betting 
everywhere,  and  the  Memphis  meeting  will  give  us  some  idea 
of  what  the  other  meetings  will  be  worth." 

Charley  Boots'  Brutus  two-year-olds  will  make  a  bold 
bid  forthe  Futurity  of  1894,  beyond  a  doubt.  A  big  string 
of  them  will  be  sent  to  the  far  East  shortly.  The  lot  now 
quartered  at  Bay  District  track,  and  in  charge  of  George  Bay- 
less,  are  as  follows :  Sir  Thomas,  blk  c,  3,  by  Nathan  Coombs 
— Bessie  (full  brother  to  Sir  Walter) ;  Mercurv,  b  c,  3,  by 
Brutus— Swayback  ;  Vinclor,  b  c,  2,  by  Brutus — Mollie  H.; 
brown  colt,  2,  by  Brutus — Bessie  (half-brother  to  Sir  Wal- 
ter); Installator,  br  c,  2,  by  Brutus — Installation;  Peter  the 
Second,  b  c,  2,  by  Brutus— Bonnie  Jean  (full  brother  to  Peter 
the  Great) ;  brown  colt,  2,  by  Brulus — Nabette  (brother  to 
Bobolink);  Flammatrix,  ch  f,  2,  by  Brutus — Ariola  (full  sis- 
ter to  Torchbearer  );  Roma,  b  f,  2,  by  Brutus — Beauty  {full 
sister  to  Romulus)  ;  Hildebrand,  br  c,  2,  by  Brutus — Brown 
Maria);  bay  filly,  2,  by  Brutus — Leda;  Nebuchadnezzar,  br  c, 
2,  bv  Brutus — Gypsette;  Duchess  of  Milpitas,  b  f,  2,  by  Duke 
of  Norfolk— Ledette;  Dido,  b  f,  2,  by  St.  Saviour,  dam  by 
Glenelg.  Vinctor  is  said  to  be  even  a  better  colt  than  Peter 
the  Great,  which  is  sayiog  a  great  deal.  George  Bavless  says 
he  is  certainly  the  greatest  youngster  heever  trained.  Installa- 
tor is  a  good  one,  and  the  half-brother  to  Sir  Walter  is  very 
close  toacrackerjack.  Brutus  is  certainly  a  wonderful  sire. 
Bayle^s  feels  cer'.ain  that  his  colts  will  go  the  Derby  route,  too. 

A  dispatch  from  Trenton,  N.  Y.,  to  Daily  America  and' 
Mercury,  March  21st  says:  "The  racecourse  question  is,  of 
course,  largely  affected  by  the  decision  ol  the  Supreme  Court 
in  favor  of  the  Republican  Senate  and  the  subsequent  an- 
nouncement that  the  Democratic  Senate  will  make  an  un- 
conditional surrender.  Gov.  Werts  states  that  he  will  at  once 
file  the  bills  which  have  been  referred  to  him,  and  among 
these  is  the  bill  repealing  the  Parker  law,  which  legalized 
racing  and  bookmakins.  This  means  that  racing  is  dead,  at 
any  rate  protem  ,  in  the  State.  Under  opinions  given,  nota- 
bly that  of  Gov.  Werts  in  his  message,  racing  may  be  con- 
structed as  not  illegal,  but  the  situation  differs  nothing  from 
that  which  existed  before  the  Parker  law  was  passed.  The 
tide  has,  however,  turned  in  politics.  Hudson  County  has  a 
Republican  Sheriff'  hostile  to  the  racing  interest,  and  the 
"  Duke  of  Gloucester"  has  openly  confessed,  even  while  the 
situation  was  less  unfavorable,  that  he  saw  no  prospect  of  rac- 
ing at  his  track.  Elizabeth,  Linden  and  Clifton  are  in  sec- 
tions that  are  notoriously  adverse  to  a  continuance  of  the 
sport,  and  local  sentiment  was  stirred  up  n«ainst  Monmouth 
by  the  failure  of  the  association  to  make  good  the  $5,000  for 
its  license.  The  chances  are,  therefore,  decidedly  against  any 
racing  being  seen  in  the  State  1  his  year.  Long  Branch  hotel- 
keepers,  shareholders  in  the  railroad  companies,  farmers  and 
others  may  mourn,  but  this  is  the  only  view  of  the  case  that 
is  tenable.

Annie    Oakley. 


At  a  recent  circus  at  Metley,  N.  J.,  Miss  Annie  Oakley 
the  well-known  champion  rifle  shot,  accomplished  a  new  feat 
in  rifle  markmanship.  A  New  York  daily  describes  it  as 
follows : 

There  is  only  one  professional  at  work  in  the  bareback 
rehearsals,  Mis  Annie  Oakley,  the  ritie  shoi,  and  she  is  an 
amateur,  too,  so  far  as  this  work  toes.  She  is  a  Mrs.  Builer 
in  private  life,  and  lives  in  a  pretty  Ntilley  cottage  during 
tbe  winters,  when  she  is  not  "showing."  But  tbe  cause  of 
charity  easily  brought  her  from  her  comfoilable  winter's 
rest.  and.  after  a  ftw  visits  to  the  circus  ring,  where  at  first 
she  intended  only  to  do  some  rifle  shooting,  she  was  affected 
bf  the  prevailing  craze  for  oareback  riding,  and  soon  had  in- 
vented anew  act,  which  she  will  do  in  public  for  the  first

has  long  been  in  the  saddle.  When  The  Sun  man

ease,  and  hoon  afterwards  accepted  a  bantering  challenge 
to  pick  up  a  hat  from  the  ring.  She  came  down  on  her  horse

The  Midwinter  Tournament  of  the  California  State  Sports- 
men's Association  commenced  on  Thursday  last  at  the  Oak- 
land Race  Track,  under  very  favorable  auspices.  More  de- 
lightful weather  could  not  be  imagined,  and  the  attendance 
for  the  first  day  was  very  good. 

Among  the  prominent  sportsmen  present  were  Harvey  Mc-

winning. 

The  first  scheduled  event,  a  twelve  bird  match,  $7.50  en- 
trance, brought  out  twenty  entries  and  was  from  start  to  fin- 
ish a  very  interesting  event.  Mr.  Webster  led  at  the  begin- 
ning of  the  eleventh  round  but  lost  his  two  last  birds  and  was 
consequently  completely  out  of  it.  The  birds  averaged  well.

On  Thursday  evening  a  meeting  of  the  California  State 
Sportsmen's  Association  was  called  at  S  r.  M.  at  Parlor  A., 
Palace  Hotel,  President  C.  Robinson  in  the  chair.  As  there 
was  no  special  business  to  come  before  the  meeting,  the  attend- 
ance was  very  light.  The  treasurer,  Dr.  S.  £.  Knowles. 
reported  that  the  finances  of  the  association  were  in  a  very 
satisfactory  condition. 

It  was  proposed  that  the  next  tournament  of  the  association 
be  held  at  Los  Angeles  in  September  nex'..  The  proposition 
was  very  favorably  received  by  the  directors,  and  it  is  quite 
probable  that  the  next  tournament  will  be  held  there.    - 


Olabrougrh,  Golcher  &  Co.'s  Tournament. 


The  blue  rock  tournament  at  Clabrough,  Golcher  A  Co.'e 
grounds  at  Oakland  Race  Track  on  April  1st  was  well  at- 
tended. All  the  events  on  the  programme  were  shot  off'  and

singles,  $5  entrance.  McMurchy  won  with  the  magnificent 
score  of  47.  A  strong,  cold  wind  blew  across  the  traps  from 
the  left  making  good  scoring  exceedingly  difficult.  Robinson

California    "Wing    Shooting    Club. 

The  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  California  Wing  Shoot- 
ing Club  at  Oakland  race  track  on  the  1st  inst.  was  one  of  the 
most  interestrng  club  events  of  the  year.  Mr.  Robinson  won 
the  first-class  medal  and  eleven  birds,  Haas  the  second  with 
ten.  Robert  Liddle  killed  ten  also,  but  one  of  the  ten  unfor- 
tunately fell  just  out  of  bourds. 

Mr.  Robinson  won  the  sweater,  Mr.  Haas  the  fly  book,  Mr. 
Fay  the  hunting  coat.  Mr.  Allison  a  hunting  hat.  The 
score : 

Mr  Harvey  McMurchy,  the  well-known  agent  for  the  L. 
C.  Smith  gun,  shot  in  the  main  match  and  scored  eleven,  but 
not  being  a  member  of  the  club  he  shot  for  practice  only. 

Mr.  C.  J.  Haas'  score  in  the  first  sweepstake  (11)  constitutes 
his  score  for  March.     The  score:

The  Sportsman's  Convention. 

If  evera  sportsmen's  convention  were  called  on  a  more  op- 
portune time  we  never  heard  of  it.  If  ever  a  convention 
was  needed  more  than  at  present  we  don't  know  where.  The 
opening  of  the  trout  season  sent  hundreds  of  anglers  into  the 
country,  and  their  return  brings  the  news  that  nearly  every 
stream  in  the  country  has  been  fished  for  a  month. 

One  well-known  sportsman  states  that  two  weeks  ago,  he 
saw  a  man  standing  under  the  bridge  in  Santa  Rosa,  catching 
trout  in  plain  view  of  the  passers  by.  We  receive  like  re- 
ports from  all  over  Sonoma  county.  The  editor  ot  this  paper 
saw  several  baskets  of  fine  trout  on  the  N.  P.  R.  R.  trains 
two  weeks  ago. 

Deer  are  shot  the  vear  round  in  certain  parts  of  Sonoma 
county,  and  not  the  slightest  attempt  at  concealment  is  made. 

The  Fish  and  Game  Commission  are  an  absolute  failure, 
whether  from  lack  of  funds,  lack  of  ambition  or  lack  of  brains 
we  do  not  s»ite,  but  the  fact  that  they  are  powerless  from  some 
cause  is  very  apparent. 

Relief  from  the  depredations  of  the  lawless  will  never  come

tbrough  any  olher  source  than  through  county  game  wardens 
.who  are  given  full  power  to  act,  and  not   even  then,  without 
the  support  of  all  sportsmen. 

■     The  open  season  for  quail  should   not   commence  earlier 
thau   October  1st.     Shooting    for   market  should  either  be 
stopped  entirely  or  limited  in  quantity,  and   many  other  sug- 
gestions will,  unquestionably,  be  offered  at   the  coming  con- 
vention that  will  tend  to  improve  matters  materially. 
|     The  convention  will  be  well  officered,  and   it  is  very  neces- 
sarv  that  it  should  be,  to  bring  order  out  of  the   chaos  that 
will,  doubtless,  reign.     This-convention   is  the  conception  of  , 
the  Mr.  Crittenden   Robinson,  the  president  of  the  State  I 
rSportsman's  Association.      Mr.    Robinson    has   worked   in- 
|icessaDtly  for  the  success  of  this  convention,  and  no   man   in 
■this  State  is  more  deeply  interested  in  the  protection  of  game. 
Moreover,  he  is  clear-headed,  and  in  every  wav  eminently 
Lotted    for  the  position  of  president   of  the  convention.     We 
■trust  that  he  will  be  elected  to  this  position.     The  delegates 
I  to  the  convention  appointed  by  the  Governor  and  Board  of 
ISapervisors  of  the  various  counties  areas  follows

The  Midwinter  Fair  Blue  Rock  Tournament. 


Pulling  out  from  the  shelter  of  the  reeds  will  send  the  birds 
up  on  the  wing  inslanler,  and,  although  one  or  two  shots  may 
be  had  as  they  fly  round,  they  soon  settle  down  among  the 
reeds  and  the  day's  sport  is  destroyed.  Irrespective  of  water 
fowling  this  bheel  is  uncommonly  well  slocked  with  fish,  so  if 
you  happen  to  have  been  unfortunate  enough  as  lo  have'over- 
flurned  the  feathered  game,  a  quiet  day  may  be  spent  with 
the  rod.  In  such  stagnant  water,  whipping  with  the  fly  or 
trolling  cannot  be  indulged  in  with  any  hopes  of  success  and 
you  are  limited  to  punt  fishing,  whiel,  some  perhaps  may 
think  too  tame.  J 

Both  bbeels  are  now  at  their  best  and  the  fowl  in  capital 
condition,  so  lhat  no  more  opportune  time  could  be  selected 
for  any  of  our  visitors  who  would  wish  to  experience  what 
water  Jowl  shooting  in  India  means,  and  the  expense,  all 
told,  should  not  exceed  Rs.  10  per  dav  for  each  individual 
which  certainly  cannot  be  considered  an  extravagant  sum  for 
the  amount  of  sport  afforded.  In  shootiug  so  close  to  town

should  remain  in  the  bheels  after  sunset,  as  the  fogs  then  be-

better  to  let  the  sun  dispel  the  morning  mists  ere  setting  to

po:nt  oat  likely  spots  for  game,  and  even  to  beat  if  needed, 
but  notwithstanding  all  these  facilities  very  few  are  found 
to  take  advantage  of  them,  though  all  must  allow  that,  next  to 
Central  Africa,  India  can  furnish  a  greater  diversity  of  sport 
than  any  country  on  the  face  of  the  earth.  It  cannot  be 
the  dearth  of  money  among  those  classes  from  whom  our 
former  visitors  were  drawn,  and  it  can  hardly  be  a  disin- 
clination to  encounter  the  soupam  of  danger  that  lends  zest  to 
every  fiell  sport  in  this  country,  be  it  pigsticking,  tiger- 
shooting  or  what  not,  for  to  admit  that  would  imply  that  the 
British  sportsman  of  the  present  day  had  declined  in  courage. 
Ronghiog  it,  as  is  done  in  Africa,  is  in  India  a  thing  of  the 
past,  for  every  convenience  for  camp  life  can  now  be  had  in 
portable  shape  and  with  folding  boats  that  go  into  four  inches 
of  water  and  have  a  carrying  capacity  of  six  hundred  pounds 
lands  at  the  base  of  our  mountains  hitherto  closed  against  the 
sportsmen  from  inaccessibility  are  now  at  disposal.  I  there- 
fore can  but  arrive  at  the  conclusion  that  it  is  for  want  of  in- 
formation as  to  the  character  of  the  game  in  each  locality, 
the  kind  of  accommodation  afforded,  and  the  probable  ex- 
pense of  living  and  such  l;ke  matters.  Your  mofussil  con- 
tributors, to  whom  we  are  indebted  for  favouriog  us  with 
their  shikar  experiences,  certainly  give  us  interesting  details 
but  there,  as  a  ruie,  they  stop,  and  your  English  readers  en- 
deavor in  vain  lo  make  out  in  what  part  of  the  country  the 
incidents  related  have  taken  place  or  the  means  and  cost  of 
reaching  it.  These  omissions  may  possibly  be  a  deterrent  to 
those  who  would  wish  for  a  sporting  winter  outing,  and  if 


absolute  necessity  ol  providing  one's  self  with  boats  when 
undertaking  either  a  sporting  or  exploring  tour  in  any  part 
of  Bengal,  for  thoogb,  as  voo  run  up  bv  the  mail  boat's  you 
see  hundreds  of  canoes  it  is  most  difficult  to  hire  them,  a'nd 
even  when  you  do  succeed,  as  the  crafts  are  not  built  to  carrv 
dry  good.-,  one  man  has  to  be  especially  engaged  to  bale,  anil 
the  higher  you  get  the  more  leaky  become  these  canoes 
most  of  them  being  used  for  fishing  'or  the  transport  of  pan 
leaves  and  are  purposly  made  to  let  the  water  in  and  out  so 
that  the  necessity  of  being  independent  of  such  is  obvious. 

Another  field  that  affords  capital  sport  is  the  lacustrine 
country  round  about  Natlore,  some  twenty-eight  miles  npthe 
.Northern  Bengal  State  Railway  from  the  Sara  Ghat  crossing 
The  famous  Chullunbheel  lies  southeast  of  Nattore,  and 
despite  the  increasing  number  of  shooting  parties  annually 
organized  for  working  it  appears  to  show  no  diminution  in  the 
number  of  fowl  frequenting  it.  But  a  stay  here  necessitates 
tente.  tor  the  shooting  grounds  are  some  distance  from  the 
railway,  and  that  again  entails  all  the  Daraphernalia  of  camp 
equipage,  bedsteads,  cooking  utensils,  etc.  Ball  eaitridgeis 
also  necessary  as  pig  abound  and  tiger  put  in  an  occasional 
appearance,  though  buffalo  as  a  rule  have  disappeared  from 
the  immediate  neighborhood  of  the  water.  They  were  plen- 
tiful enough  some  five  and  thirtv  vears  ago,  and  some  among 
your  readers  may  recollect  the  jannt  undertaken  bv  five  bold 
and  reckless  sportsmen,  who  rode  down  the  huge  brutes 
shooting  them  with  the  old-fashioned  heavv  cavalry  pistols 
as  they  raced  them  side  b/  side,  an  exciting,"  but  needless  to 
say  hazardous  kind  of  sport,  but  not  more  so  than  that  pur- 
sued bv  the  North  American  Indian  who  adopted  much  the 
same  plan  for  securing  the  now  almost  extinct  buffalo  of  the 
prairies,  though  the  weapons  were  the  simple  bow  and  arrow.

among  the  bheels  in  the  neighborhood  of  Bangong,  two  hours 
by  the  above-mentioned  rail  from  town.  There  iB  a  small  but 
very  comfortable  dak  bungalow  here  about  a  mile  from  the 
railway  station,  but  though  the  accommodation  leaves  noth- 
ing to  be  desired,  the  larder  supply  needs  supplementing 
from  the  Great  Eastern  or  other  source  with  sufficient  corned 
beef  and  tins  of  soup,  etc.,  according  to  the  number  of  the 
party.  Bread  can  be  sent  down  daily ;  and  as  it  is  seldom 
the  potables  procurable  at  these  mofussil  stations  are  of  the 
best,  those  who  cannot  do  without  them  had  better  take  what 
is  wanted  in  that  line  also.  Bongong  is  situattd  on  the 
Echamutti,  which  looks  much  more  like  a  canal  than  a  river, 
in  which  bathing  is  exceedingly  dangerous,  for  the  dreaded 
mugger  lurks  therein,  nor  would  it  be  safe  to  enter  any  of 
the  tanks,  for  these  ferocious  brutes  not  infrequently  try  a 
change  of  water  and  even  occasionally  are  found  in  the  two 
principal  bheels,  having  been  also  encountered  in  the  long 
sedgy  grass  that  forms  their  outer  edge  by  snipe  shooters.  To 
prevent  disappointment  it  is  necessary  to  carry  one  or 
more  of  either  Perthons,  Cordings  or  the  new  canvas 
canoes,  for  the  boats  of  the  place,  about  which  there  is  gr  ner- 
ally  some  difficulty  in  hiring,  are   leaky,   cumbersome  and

Mr.  J.  B.  Martin  will  kindly  accept  our  thanks  for  a|fine 
photograph  of  his  foxterrier  Golden  Sunshine  by  Blemton 
Retfer — Blemton  Rapture.  This  bitch  is  seven  months  old

tries bearing  the  postmark  of  April  7th  will  be  accepted. 

Dr.  Thos.  J.  Elgecomb,  of  iron  Nountain,  Mich.,  has 
broaght  to  this  Coast  one  of  the  finest  beagle  bitches  that  we 
have  seen  sioce  leaving  the  East.  She  is  black,  white  and 
tan  in  color  and  is  registered  in  the  A  K.  C.  S.  B.  as  Olena 
30,623,  by  Flute  M.  (sire  of  Tone),  out  of  Spot,  by  Ken- 
heally's  Lee,  the  sire  of  Ch.  Twintwo.  This  is  the  same  line 
of  blood  that  produced  Frank  Forest. 

Mr.  R.  M.  Dodge's  kennels  will  hereafter  be  known  as  the 
Kenwood  Kennels.  Mr.  Dodge  has  been  quite  successful  dur- 
ing his  stay  in  the  city,  having  secured  W.  J.  Mathews'  Eng- 
lish setter  Win  by  Harold— Sunlit ;  J.  G.  Edward's  English 
setter  puppv  by  Sportsman — Sweetheart,  Mr. 's  Eng- 
lish setter  Salambo  (Gladstone  II— Sweetheart),  T.  J.  Watt- 
son's  English  setter  bitch  by  Starlight,  P.  J.  Bamus'  pointer 
Glenbeigh  Jr.  and  a  black  pointer  pup  of  Wm.  Dormer's  by 
Old  Black  Joe  II— Black  Bess. 

The  American  Field  has  either  been  put  on  the  wrong 
track  b>- some  merry  mischief  maker  or  has  put  too  much 
credence  in  the  lies  of  a  local  sheet.  The  issue  of  March  31 
states  in  connection  with  other  remarksabout  the  Pacific  Fox 
Terrier  Club:  *'  It  now  looks  as  if  the  fox  terrier  men  will  or- 
ganize a  new  kennel  club  to  succeed  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club." 
The  fox  terrier  club  never  for  an  instent  entertained  such  a 
thought.  In  common  with  many  the  club  censures  the  ac- 
tion of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  in  postponing  its  show,  but 
there  is  not  the  slightest  ill  feeling  between  the  two  clubs  aud 
that  anv  club  will  "succeed  "  the  Pacific  is  a  very  silly  state- 
ment. The  Pacific  is  financially  strong  and  has  over  100 
members  in  good  standing. 

Mr.  J.  B.  Martin,  of  this  city,  una  received  from  the  Blemton 
Kennels,  Hempstead,  New  York,  the  fox  terrier  bitch  Blem- 
ton Spinaway,  by  Champion  Blemton  Victor — Spinster 
by  Champiou  Dominie — Avon  May.  Victor  2d  by  Cham- 
pion Dushy  Trap— Verdict,  by  Champion  Result — Champion 
Diadem.  Spinaway  will  be  a  valuable  addition  to  this  breed 
here,  as  she  combines  in  her  pedigree  the  very  best  blood. 
Her  sire  is  at  the  head  of  the  breed  in  this  country  and  the 
■■]  mi  is  full  sister  to  the  English  winners  Donna,  Dominie 
Dominiasa  and  the  American  winner  Dona.  Mr.  Martin  will 
breed  Spinawav  to  Blemton  Reefer,  and  good  results  will  no 
doubt  follow  this  union.  Spinaway  was  not  exhibited  in  the 
East  owing  to  various  causes,  but  she  is  quite  up  to  show 
form  and  will  make  her  debut  on  the  bench  at  the  Oakland 
show.  

Mr.  R.  M.  Djdge,  formerly  trainer  for  the  California  Ken- 
nels, made  us  a  pleasant  call  this  week.  Mr.  Dodge  is  in 
search  of  dogs  to  train  for  field  trial  work  or  private  shoot- 
ing, or  will  lake  non  sporting  dogs  and  teach  ihem  to  fetch 
and  carry  and  yard  break  them.  He  can  accommodate  a 
few  boarders  also.  Mr.  Dodge  will,  we  predict,  make  a 
record  for  himself,  if  he  is  lucky  enough  to  get  the  right  ma- 
terial to  work  with.  He  is  thoroughly  painstaking  and 
conscientious,  has  had  lots  of  practical  experience  having 
broken  and  handled  many  winners  in  our  field  trials,  and 
last  but  not  least,  is  first,  last  add  always  a  gentleman.  He 
is  never  over  harsh  with  his  dogs,  a  common  fault  among 
triinfrs,  and  we  most  heartily  recommend  him  to  those  de- 
siring dogs  broken  either  for  their  private  shooting  or  for 
entry  in  the  coming  Derby.  Mr.  Dodge  is  very  hap  oily 
situated  at  Kenwood,  Sonoma  County.  A  living  brook,  a  trout 
stream  by  tne  way.  runs  light  through  his  kennels.  A 
ninety  acre  field  provides  exercise  in  abundance  and  right 
at  hia  elbow  are  quail  in  plenty  andeaperb  snipe  grounds. 
Mi  Djdge  cu  also  accommod  ta  a  Boaall  party  of  anglers 
at  any  time  and  promises  such   pirties  some  good  sport  at 

trout  fishing.

Ml93  Lillian   Bsdlird'a    "  Wallace  "—A    Scotch 
Oolliee'  Memory. 


n 


A  inmgst  the  numerous  visitors  at  present  sojourning  in 
the  city  of  the  Golden  Gate, it  Mlu  Lillian  Beddard,  the 
beaotlfal  and  talented  young  English  actress  whose  cultured 
■nd  ch  inning  impersonations  of  Shakespeare's  heroines,  have 
given  pleasure  to  thousands  ol  people  in  Great  Britain  and 
the  E  lglish  olonies,  m>re  especially  in  South  Africa  and 
Australia  Miss  Lillian  BsdJard  has  been  a  great  traveler 
and  her  faithful  companion  in  her  wanderings  has  been  her 
Scotch  collie  log  "  Wallace." 

Wallace  first  saw  the  light  somewhere  in  the  neighborhood 


of  Inverary  in  Scotland,  where  he  was  bred  by  the  Duke  of 
Argyle's  head  shepherd  He  comes  of  a  well-known  breed  that 
has  taken  prizes  at  nearly  every  show  in  England  and  Scot- 
laud,  and  he  himself  took  a  first  prize  at  the  Crystal  Palace 
in  London  when  he  was  only  three  months  old.  Shortly  after- 
wards he  made  the  voyage  to  South  Africa  aud  with  Miss 
Beddard  traveled  all  over  that  country.  Thereafter  he  visit- 
ed Australia  where  he  boldly  broke  through  the  quarantine 
regulations.  These  ruies  require  six  months  quarantine  for 
dogs  arriving  in  Australia  and  Miss  Beddard  found  the  Com- 
missioner of  Customs  at  Melbourne  immovable.  The  customs 
rules  had  to  be  enforced  like  "  the  laws  of  the  Medes  and 
Persians  that  alter  not."  The  Commissioner  decided  that  the 
dog  must  remain  on  the  ship  or  be  placed  in  quarantine. 

For  a  few  days  Miss  Beddard  was  unhappy  and  Wallace 
seemed  to  be  falling  into  a  decline.  Then  Miss  Beddard 
could  stand  it  no  longer.  Late  one  evening  a  soft,  low,  un- 
mistakably femiuine  whistle  was  heard  on  the  wharf  along- 
side the  big  ocean  steamer,  and  Wallace  was  the  next  iDStant 
bounding  along  after  a  flying  petticoat  and  a  dainty  pair  of 
heels.  The  whole  incident  took  place  so  quickly  that  the  two 
law-breakers  were  half  a  dozen  blocks  away  before  the  quar- 
antine oflicials  realized  what  had  happened. 

A  few  days  ago  a  gentleman  who  had  to  do  with  Wallace's 
education  as  a  pup,  was  walking  along  Market  street,  San 
Francisco,  when  he  was  surprised  by  a  big  collie  persistently 
following  him  and  licking  his  hand,  evidently  wishing  to  at- 
tract attention.  The  gentlemen  had  no  recollection  of  the 
dog,  but  turning  around,  found  himself  face  to  face  with  Miss 
Lillian  Beddard,  who  was  hurrying  to  recall  her  favorite. 

Mutual  recognition  followed,  and  an  acquaintance  made  sev- 
en long  years  ago  in  another  land  was  pleasantly  renewed, 
while  Wallace  gave  a  few  short  barks  expressive  of  his  de- 
light at  having  brought   two  friends  together  again. 

Wallace  is  between  seven  and  eight  years  old,  and  is  of 
the  sturdy,  old-fashioned  type  of  Scotch  collie.  He  has 
black,  coarse,  wiry  hair,  and  beautiful  white  markings,  in- 
cluding the  Marie  Stuart  white  Ruft" around  the  throat  that 
was  fashionable  in  the  days  of  the  Ettrick  shepherd  before 
the  more  effeminate  black  and  tan  came  to  be  regarded  as 
indispensable  in  the  true  type  of  Scotch  collie. 


"  To  My  Friend,"  the  Enemy. 

A  person  whose  shortcomings  I  have  often  exposed,  caused 
statements  to  be  made  ia  the  daily  papers  recently  that  the 
writer  "had  newer  judged  at  a  dog  show,  and  was  never  con- 
nected with  the  breeding  or  handling  dogs  in  any  way  until 
he  reached  this  coast."  While  admitting  it  is  in  exceed- 
ingly bad  taste  to  boast  of  one's  knowledge  at  any  time, 
it  is  necessary  to  reply  to  false  statements  wherever  and 
whenever  made. 

There  was  a  flourish  of  trumpets  on  the  part  of  the  Eastern 
kennel  press  when  I  started  Eastward,  but  as  only  a  few  of  our 
readers  ever  see  the  principal  papers  of  the  East,  I  do  not  ex- 
pect them  to  be  thoroughly  conversant  with  my  past  history. 
While  not  claiming  to  be  the  only  authority  on  earth,  I  never 
for  an  inslant,  sought  the  thankless  iob  of  acting  as  a  judge  of 
dog  show?,  and  have  several  times  refused  that  position,  be- 
lieving that  no  kennel  editor  should  accept  that  position  for 
business  reasons. 

I  accepted  the  position  of  judge  at  Los  Angeles  because  I 
preferred  to  sacrifice  a  personal  interest  to  assist  a  club  that 
was  struggling  for  existence.  When  I  learned  that  A.  C. 
Waddell  could  be  secured,  I  with  pleasure  resigned,  believ- 
ing that  any  Eastern  man  would  give  better  satisfaction. 

Whoeversays  that  I  never  judged  a  show  tells  a  downright 
falsehood.  I  judged  all  classes  at  Lewiston,  Maine,  in  1890, 
about  100  dogs,  if  I  remember  rightly,  and  among  them  many 
famous  ones;  sporting  dogs  predominated.  The  same  year  I 
judged  all  classes  at  Taunton,  Mass.,  a  show  held  under  the 
auspices  of  the  Southern  Massachusetts  Poultry  Association  ; 
it  was  not  an  A.  K.  C.  show,  but  to  give  my  readers  an  idea 
of  its  standing,  I  will  state  that  in  18s9  the  same  club's  show 
was  judged  by  Charles  H.  Mason,  and  in  the  year  1891 
by  James  Mortimer,  if  I  remember  correctly.  Moreover,  I 
was  asked  by  both  of  these  clubs  to  judge  the  shows  of  1»9I, 
but,  for  business  reasons  was  obliged  to  refuse. 
So  much  for  the  judging.  Now  in  regard  to  my  con- 
nection with  the  dog  interests,  I  am  proud  of  the  fact  that 
I  have  been  breeding  English  setters,  cocker  spaniels, 
pointers,  Irish  setters,  English  bull  dogs,  mastiffs,  St.  Ber- 
nards, and  other  breeds  since  1S83.  I  reported  the  bench 
shows  of  Chicago,  New  York,  Boston,  Philadelphia,  TJtica, 
Rochester  and  Baltimore  of  1889  and  1S90,  for  the  Boston 
Herald,  American  Stock-Keeper  and  Hamilton's  Weekly. 

I  also  reported  the  shows  of  Darlington,  England;  Bangor 
Wales;  Birkenhead,  Olympia,  Crystal  Palace,  and  other 
shows  of  18S9  and  1890  for  the  Forest  and  Stream  and  Bos- 
ton Herald. 

In  company  with  Dr.  Power  I  organized  the  first  English 
Setter  Club  and  the  National  Beagle  Club,  and  officiated  as 
Field  Marshall  of  the  first  Beagle  field  trials  ever  held  in  the 
world.  I  imported  from  England  twenty-one  St.  Bernards, 
among  them  such  well-known  dogs  as  Champion  Manou, 
Champion  Hesper,  Hesper  Jr.,  Hesper  II,  Hesperard,  Mt. 
St.  EUas,  Hespera,  Champion  Republican  Belle,  Belisarus, 
Prudence  and  others.  I  formerly  owned  the  well-known  Eng- 
lish setters,  Empress  Eugene,  the  dam  of  Champion  Devon- 
shire Fan,  Pebble,  the  dam  of  Wilson  Fiske's  Passion,  and 
was  financially  interested  in  other  kennels  where  the  blood  of 
Count  Noble,  (Gladstone  and  Gain's  Mark  predominated.  I 
have  trained  setters  and  pointers  for  private  shooting,  and 
have  given  satisfaction.  I  could  name  no  less  than  fifty  cocker 
spaniels  that  I  have  owned  and  bred  ;  but  what  is  the  use  of 
continuing  the  subject  further.  I  have  given  facts,  names  and 
dates  which  can  be  verified  by  any  one.  The  lovers  of  dogs 
are  not  as  ignorant  as  the  writer  of  the  anonymous  para- 
graphs in  the  daily  papers  wishes  them  to  be.  The  vindic- 
tiveness  which  prompted  such  attacks  is  not  incomprehensi- 
ble to  all  who  have  known

Coming  Events. 

May  4-5 — California  Midwinter  Exposition  Athletic  Auxiliary's  Fly 
Casting  Tournament.  W.  D.  Mansfield,  Secretary,  State  Board  or 
Trade. 

March  oth— AtSp.  M.,  The  Anglers' Convention  at  Festival  Hall, 
California  Midwinter  Exposition,  San  Francisco. 


The  programme  of  the  Fly  Casting  Tournament  has  been 
issued  and  can  be  found  at  this  office  or  at  any  of  the  leading 
gun  stores. 

Holiday  Lake,  near  Searville,  San  Mateo  County,  was 
stocked  with  black  bass  some  years  ago.  Last  week  two  fisher- 
men, having  gained  consent  of  the  owner,  secured  300  very 
fine  bass. 


The  E.  T.  Allen  Co.  have  just  issued  one  of  the  completest 
aud  most  neatly  gotten-up  catalogues  of  fishing  tackle  ever 
published.  Call  at  their  establishment,  416  Market  street, 
and  get  one.     While  there  do  not  fail  to  examine  their  stock. 


Hundreds  of  anglers  are  practicing  casting  in  anticipation 
of  the  coursing  Fly  Casting  Tournament.  Many  of  them 
will  lose  their  enthusiasm  before  the  entries  are  booked,  but 
there  will  be  enough  left  to  make  the  event  one  of  the  most 
interesting  angliDg  tournaments  ever  held  in  their  countrv. 

The  Solano  Republican  says  the  people  of  that  county  pay 
very  little  attention  to  the  game  laws.  This  is  doubtless  true 
of  most  counties  in  the  State.  From  general  report  more 
than  one  nice  mess  of  trout  graced  the  tables  of  lovers  of  that 
fish  in  Napa  long  before  the  1st  of  the  month.  The  Solano 
paper  suggest  that  a  game  warden  in  each  county  would  be  a 
good  thing. 

The  anglers  of  Central  California  will  have  a  great  deal  to 
thank  the  managers  of  the  San  Francisco  and  North  Pacific 
Railway  for,  if  they  carry  out  their  present  designs.  This 
railroad  taps  101  of  the  finest  trout  streams  in  the  world, 
comprising  over  1,000  miles  of  current  trout  water,  besides 
the  numerous  mountain  lakes.  The  managers  of  this  com- 
pany intend  to  erect  at  once  a  mammoth  trout  hatchery  at  or 
near  Ukiah.  It  is  their  purpose  to  stock  these  streams  with 
trout  at  their  own  expense,  expecting  to  make  this  section  the 
acme  of  fishing  resorts.  Should  the  experiment  prove  suc- 
cessful, other  hatcheries  will  be  built  along  its  lines.  This 
company  have  a  model  hatchery  on  exhibition  at  the  south 
end  of  the  Agricultural  building  at  the  Midwinter  Exposi- 
tion under  the  management  of  the  \>  ell-known  expert  in  arti- 
ficial fish  culture,  Col.  Lamont.  Visitors  are  very  welcome 
at  this  exhibit,  and  the  genial  Colonel  is  always  ready  to  ex- 
plain the  mysteries  of  trout  culture  and  to  describe  the  beauty 
and  utility  of  the  mountain  streams  tapped  by  the  North 
Coast  Railway. 

Messrs.  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  will  kindly  accept  our 
apologies  for  neglecting  to  mention  the  superb  display  thai 
they  made  in  their  show  window  at  605  Maiket  street  on 
April  1st.  At  great  expense  and  with  genuine  artistic  taste 
they  have  arranged  a  miniature  trout  pool  with  running 
water,  and  a  number  of  fine  brook  trout  are  sporting  about  in 
the  pool.  The  rocks  about  the  pool  are  covered  with  moss 
and  ferns  and  a  green  curtain  in  the  background  completes  as 
fine  a  display  as  one  could  wish  for,  suggestive  of  the  cool 
nooks  of  a  mountain  stream  and  calling  the  attention  of  the 
passer-by  to  the  fact  that  the  trout  season  has  opened  and  that 
within  can  be  found  every  description  of  trout  tackle  that  an 
angler  can  possibly  need.  Among  other  novelties  tbeydis- 
play  the  Emeric  spinner,  first  made  by  hand  by  the  Hon. 
Harry  Emeric  and  given  to  Mr.  Wm.  Golcher  to  try.  Mr. 
Golcher  had  such  success  with  it  that  be  immediately  or- 
dered a  lot  for  sale,  and  they  are  giving  great  satisfaction. 
The  hooks  and  spoon  are  of  silver  with  glass  bead  friction 
bearing  and  reinforced  gut,  the  gut  in  marina  grade,  the  high- 
est grade  manufactured.  Among  the  new  flies  we  noticed  one 
not  "  Rough  on  Rats,"  but  "  Rough  on  Bass,"  the  celebrated 
bucktail,  salmon  Hies  of  all  varieties,  spinning  bait  consisting 
of  a  fly  with  spoon  above,  the  spoon  adjustable  to  any  desired 
distance  above  the  fly.  Their  line  of  luminous  trout  flies  is 
complete.  These  flies  when  exposed  to  the  light  during  the 
day  areexcellent  for  evening  fishing.  They  can  be  purchased 
in  all  grades  ind  varieties,  the  Professor,  Royal  Coachman, 
Coachman,  \V  lute  Miller,  Seth  Green,  Grizzly  King,  Brown 
Hackle,  Governor,  Bee  Fly,  Montreal,  Yellow  Beauty,  Cow 
Dung,  Dusty  Miller  aud  The  Beauty.  When  flies  or  bait  will 
not  work  they  recommend  their  skittering  bait,  an  oval  spoon 
in  assorted  sizes  with  triple  brazed  hook  and  swivel,  easily 
attached.

23d,  announces  that  Protection, the  colt  which  Bob  CHmpbell, 
the  colored  trainer,  bought  in  1SSS  for  $300,  is  the  subject  of 
a  suit  by  a  money-lender.  The  suit  was  filed  there  last  Friday 
by  Peter  Bilzer,  who  claims  that  he  bought  Protection  last 
November  for  $300,but  that  B.  Frank  Letterle  is  holding  him 
for  money  advanced  to  Campbell.  Protection  won  tht 
Junior  stakes,  worth  $22,000,for  Campbell  in  1889,  aud  madi 
the  colored  man  rich,  but  he  never  raced  with  success  agaii 
until  he  won  the  Merchants'  handicap  in  Louisville  thrw 
years  ago.

JOSEPH     CAIRN    SIMPSON. 

Technical  Knowledge. — In  reviewing  Mr.  Brander 
Matthews'  ''Studies  of  the  Stage"  the  editor  of  Harpers  Maga- 
zine writes  :  "  While  the  theatrical  critics  in  general  look  at 
the  drama  from  their  seats  in  the  orchestra  stalls,  Mr.  Mat- 
thews' standpoint  has  always  been  the  stage  itself.  Being  for 
hts  own  part  a  maker  of  plays,  he  has  considered  the  art  of 
the  dramatist  with  a  fuller  understanding  of  its  technic,  and 
with  a  more  intimate  sympithy  than  can  be  possessed  by 
tho<^  who  know  the  stage  only  from  the  auditorium  side  of 
the  footlights." 

It  strikes  me  that  this  argument  will  hold  good  in  discuss- 
ing the  various  questions  which  arise  regarding  horses.  It  is 
beyond  reasonable  contradiction  that  a  man  who  has  an  inti- 
mate and  practical  knowledge  of  horses  should  be  a  better 
judge  of  their  qualities  than  one  who  has  the  slightest  ac- 
quaintance, and  though  unable  to  express  his  views  in  as 
pleasant  phraseology  as  a  college  graduate,  his  conclusions 
are  worthy  of  higher  consideration  than  those  of  the  educated 
writer  who  has  not  the  esoteric  acquaintance  with  the  ani- 
mals which  are  the  subject  of  debate.  Dr.  Johnson's  parody 
on  the  line,  "  He  who  governs  freemen  should  himself  be 
free,"  "He  who  drives  fat  oxen  should  himself  be  fat,"  is 
the  rankest  kind  of  twaddle,  and  though  oftentimes  quoted 
as  being  applicable  to  cases  in  which  there  is  not  the  slighest 
analogy,  it  certainly  cannot  be  accepted  as  having  any 
weight  when  capacity  to  discriminate  between  good  and  bad, 
whether  an  "  expert "  or  a  neophyte  is  likely  to  be  superior. 

Mr.  Wallace  took  the  ground  that  dri  vers  of  trotting  horses 
were  not  fitted  to  be  judges  of  the  results  of  breeding,  and 
that  very  many  of  them  at  the  time  that  idea  was  formulated 
wereigcoraut  of  genealogical  intricacies  was  correct.  Grant- 
ing that  and  the  most  ignorant,  when  ignorance  is  measured 
by  knowledge  of  the  blood  of  past  generations  of  the  horses 
he  drove,  is  surely  better  able  to  determine  the  capacity  of 
animals  he  is  so  intimately  connected  with  than  the  editor 
who,  sublimely  confident,  and  yet  is  puzzled  to  tell  whether  a 
horse  is  pacing  or  trotting.  But  drivers  of  the  present  day 
are  not  of  the  stamp  of  those  who  were  so  largely  in  the  ma- 
jority in  the  early  days  of  trotting.  If  the  "standard"  had 
no  other  good  effect  it  stimulated  the  acquirement  of  a  knowl- 
edge of  blood  lines,  and  more  attention  was  paid  by  the 
knights  of  the  sulkies  to  pedigrees.  If  not  profound  in  their 
learning  regarding  ancient  progenitors  of  fast  trotters  they 
are  comparatively  well  posted  iu  the  ;'  top  crosses  "  of  those 
who  play  a  prominent  part  in  harness  contests.  Strong  par- 
tialities for  favoritestrains  may  exert  an  influence,  and  parti- 
sanship mar  their  judgment,  of  what  may  be  termed  minor 
points.  Whether  Electioneers,  Wilkes,  Almonts,  McGreg- 
ors, Belmonts,  Harolds,  el  cd.  are  the  most  worthy  will  be  al- 
ways subjects  of  discussion,  but  if  there  is  a  driver  of  promi- 
nence who  does  not  favor  "  near  infusions  "  of  thoroughbred 
blood,  he  is  outside  of  my  field  of  observation.  Thus  one  of 
the  most  noted  has  signified  that  his  ideal  would  be  obtained 
by  breeding  a  thoroughbred  mare  to  a  Tom  Hal  stallion  and 
the  mare  thus  obtained  to  the  sire  of  Fantasy.  Doubtless  the 
Asteroid  mare  so  near  by  to  the  graod  three-year-old  had  in- 
fluenced this  conclusion,  and  all  that  could  be  formu- 
lated from  editorial  rooms,  charging  that  it  was 
pernicious  have  little  weight  when  by  all  odds  the  best  of  her 
her  sire's  get  was  thus  contaminated.  Were  I  to  select  a  man 
who  had  an  equal,  or,  perhips.  a  better  chance  of  being  a 
qualified  judge  of  the  value  of  breeding  than  an  intelligent 
driver  it  would  be  Monroe  Salisbury,  E-q.  In  fact  as  the  se- 
lector of  animals  which  are  likely  to  be  prominent  on  the 
tracks  he  has  no  superior  and  few,  indeed,  if  any,  who  are 
his  equal.  His  views,  sustaining  the  advantages  of  racing 
blood  in  fast  trotter*,  are  so  well  known  that  it  is  only  neces- 
sary to  refer  to  them.  He  thought  difterently  not  very  many 
years  ago  and  conviction  has  followed  his  extended  experience 
resulting  from  campaigning  trotters.  Before  Directum  came 
out,  in  fact,  before  he  wore  harness  Mr.  Salisbury  predicted 
that  when  the  two-minute  trotter  was  disclosed  his  dam  would 
be  a  thoroughbred  mare  which  could  run  a  mile  in  1:40  or 
better.  His  latest  purchase,  Don  Lowell,  is  by  a  horse  whose 
dam  is  half-bred  and  there  a<e  other  thoroughbred  strains  on 
the  side  of  the  dam.  But  with  this  "  reinforcement"  Mr. 
Hickok,  in  a  conversation  I  had  with  him  not  long  ago,  was 
apprehensive  that  there  was  not  enough  of  the  Lapis  Lazuli 
blood  to  overcome  soft  streaks,  but  there  is  a  lot  of  good 
strains  in  Don  Marvin  beside  the  Don  Victor,  aad  after  the 
Brigadier  on  the  side  of  Don  Lowell's  dam  thers  are  some 
stout  crosses.  It  is  not  surprising  that  the  driver  of  Hulda 
should  be  an  enthusiastic  adherent  of  the  reverse  from  the 
teachings  of  so  many  sanctums,  or  that  drivers  of  his  caliber 
who  have  enjoyed  a  like  personal  experience  should  be  of  : 
the  same  way  of  thinking.  And  it  would  be  singular  if  the  i 
opinions  of  those  who  are  not  in  a  position  to  secure  a  tithe  of 
real  knowledge  when  compared  with  men  who  have  been 
active  participants  in  track  affairs  for  twenty-five  or  more 
years,  should  be  given  the  same  weight.  It  can  only  be  ac- 
counted for  on  the  assumption  that  what  is  promulgated  by 
them  is  kept  constantly  before  a  vast  number  of  readers  while 
few  are  aware  of  the  views  of  practical  men.  Then,  (oo,  dog- 
matic assertions,  denials  of  facts,  ridicule  and  abuse  of  those 
who  think  differently,  impose  on  people  who  are  not  in  a 
position  to  judge  for  themselves.

"Hobse-Shoe  Nails" — That  the  Putnam  fastener  of 
shoes  on  the  feet  of  horses  is  a  first-rate  nail  has  been  my 
opinion  for  many  years.  There  may  be  others  of  equal  good- 
ness, but  as  my  experience  has  been  confined  to  that  ever 
since  it  was  first  used  am  unible  to  say.  It  would  appear 
that  in  so  simple  a  thing  as  a  horse  shoe  nail  that  superior 
excellence,  while  all  are  of  practically  the  same  shape  and 
the  same  material,  would  be  difficult  to  secure  in  the  fierce 
competition  which  prevails.  Still  it  may  be  that  in  choice 
of  material,  manner  of  making  and  perfection  of  machinery, 
one  pattern  is  of  greater  merit  than  ail  the  others.  Simple 
as  this  adjunct  of  the  forge  is,  and  small  as  it  is,  it  performs  a 
prominent  part  in  the  horse  world,  especially  that  higher 
plane  of  equine  life  which  is  filled  by  horses  that  occupy 
positions  which  bring  them  conspicuously  before  the  public. 


Fast  trotters  above  all  others.  Race  horses  are  easily  pro- 
vided for.  The  training  shoe  of  the  present  is  little  more 
than  a  heavy  plate  of  the  past,  when  half  a  century  has  to  be 
retraced  to  find  the  olden  time.  Hence  it  is  light  and  the  main 
consideration  in|nai!s  for  shoes  and  plates  is  just  sufficient  size 
to  bold  the  few  ounces  of  weight  in  place.  Pacers  are  not  so 
troublesome  in  general.  Easier  to  "balance,"  and  therefore 
less  necessity  for  frequent  removals.  The  trotter  is  quite 
fastidious  in  regard  to  his  pedal  appendages.  What  suited 
him  at  the  commencement  of  training  is  not  the  thing  as  that 
progresses.  Now  it  is  less  weight  in  the  toe  than  formerly  was 
demanded,  less  ponderous,  perhaps,  in  all  of  its  proportions, 
perhaps  an  addition  of  metal.  A  puzzling  problem  truly,  and 
ueverja  professor  who  can  truthfully  claim  to  shout,  Eureka  ! 

There  was  a  time  when  there  was  a  whole  lot  of  problems 
presented,  and  my  solution  had  to  be  defended  with  columns 
and  chapters  pertaining  to  shoeing  in  reply  to  attacks  on  the 
system  I  favored.  As  a  whole  the  defense  was  successful, 
and  when  "a  natural  and  plain  method  of  horse-shoeing"  re- 
ceived credit  from  former  opponents  as  not  entirely  at  fault, 
the  subject  did  not  engross  so  much  attention. 

And  vet  it  could  not  be  cast  aside,  and  in  the  years  that 
have  been  passed  in  apparent  listlessneps  have  not  been  barren 
in  experiments.  In  fact,  more  troublesome  questions  than 
when  restricted  to  a  determination  to  follow  nature  as  closely 
as  possible  in  the  treatment  of  the  feet,  and  the  metallic 
guards  which  were  fastened  upon  them.  At  that  period  it 
was  accepted  that  differentation  would  be  valuable  in  some 
and  now  there  is  less  confidence,  but  until  further  trials  give 
their  results,  discussion  will  be  premature. 

But  a  visit  of  the  travelling  agent  for  the  Putnam  Nail  Co., 
Mr.  E.  D.  Thorne,  in  company  with  our  editor,  on  Saturday 
last,  brought  the  nail  part  of  the  business  into  prominence 
again,  and  as  a  natural  sequence  interest  was  revived.  So  far 
as  the  fastenings  of  the  shoes  to  the  horn  goes  Mr.  Thorne  is 
au  fait,  tinged,  it  is  true,  with  the  firm  belief  that  the  Putnam 
is  the  only  correct  fastener  in  the  world,  and  every  feature  of 
the  case  made  subservient  to  that  idea.  And  I  must  acknow- 
ledge that  in  presenting  his  plea  he  sustained  the  only  part  of 
bis  eulogies,  which  I  was  ready  to  question, with  proofs  in  far 
greater  abundance  than  I  thought  possible.  That  was  the 
tendency  to  split  in  other  fabrications.  Thirty  years  ago  I 
had  a  horse  which  was  lamed  by  the  nail  splitting,3nd  which 
was  described  in  "an  article  printed  some  twenty-seven  years 
in  the  past.  That  was  the  only  instance  that  ever  came 
under  my  observation  and  hence  the  conclusion  was  natural 
that  the  cuts  which  have  been  scattered  over  the  land  broad- 
cast, and  not  only  broadcast  but  whirled  from  a  battallion  of 
patent  seeders,  so  that  everyone  was  made  familiar  with  the 
results  which  came  in  the  train  of  cold-cut  nails,  was  a 
shrewd  advertising  scheme  and  not  much  more. 

The  collection  of  nails  which  have  split  in  Mr.  Thome's 
possession,  nearly  every  one  having  a  history,  proves  that  one 
man's  experience  does  not  go  very  far  in  establishing  a  dis- 
puted point  unless  it  can  be  demonstrated  with  nearly  as 
much  certainty  as  a  mathematical  problem. 

The  claim  entered  by  the  Putnam  Co.  that  its  nail  never 
splits  is  made  with  evident  sincerity,  inasmuch  as  a  large 
reward  is  offered  for  a  counterpart  to  one  of  the  many  in  the 
aggregation  of  Mr.  Thorne.  The  preventive  is  said  to  be  in 
the  peculiar  process  of  manufacture  which,  that  company 
follows,  tiz.,  hot  forging  and  the  greatest  care  in  selection  of 
stock.  From  a  visit  I  made,  in  company  with  Budd  Doble, 
to  the  works  of  the  Northwestern  Nail  Co.  in  Chicago,  a  little 
more  than  a  vear  ago,  I  am  onder  the  impression  that  that 
method  is  also  the  one  used  there,  and  certainly  there  were  a 
vast  number  of  forges  in  which  there  was  little  variation 
from  the  practice  of  the  old-time  blacksmiths. 

One  of  Mr.  Thome's  arguments  in  favor  of  the  Putnam 
recalled  a  trouble  I  found  when  doing  the  setting  of  tips  my- 
self in  preference  to  listening  to  the  protests  of  the  smiths 
against  my  method  : 

"Any  bungler,"  he  remarked,  <;can  drive  a  cold-cut  nail, 
but  it  requires  a  mechanic  to  drive  the  Putnam  without  bend- 
ing. This  is  owing  to  the  ductility  of  the  metal,  which  gives 
it  so  much  strength  and  lessens  the  tendency  to  crystalize,  and 
so  much  toughness  that  it  can  be  twisted  into  a  spiral  and 
untwisted  without  injury."  This  I  admitted  to  be  sound 
argument  as  far  as  it  went,  but  if  all  these  advantages  were 
retained  and  ease  of  driving  added,  the  conjunction  would 
be  valuable.  When  using  the  small  No.  2  Putnam  especially, 
the  tendency  to  "double  "  when  the  point  struck  the  hard 
part  of  the  horn  could  only  be  overcome  by  skillful  hammer- 
ing. The  same  nail  rounded  on  the  side  which  is  inward,  a 
crease  or  rather  a  groove  on  the  outer,  and  a  gradual  taper 
from  head  to  point,  and  even  a  hnngler  could  drive  it  success- 
fully. The  groove  was  made  by  hammering  the  nail  slightly 
on  the  edges  and  finished  with  a  small  rat-tailed  file.  The 
back  filed  to  nearly  a  half-circle,  the  edges  of  the  groove  giving 
stiffness,  and  it  is  plain  without  the  aid  of  a  drawing  that 
such  a  shape  would  penetrate  a  hard  substance  much  easier 
than  the  square-cornered  nail  that  is  now  in  use. 

Then  clinching  was  greatly  simplified.  After  the  point  is 
turned  over  and  the  nail  driven  home  the  point  is  cut  off  with 
cutting  pincers,  and  a  few  light  blows  of  the  hammer  sinks 
the  edges  of  the  groove  into  the  horn,  the  upper  part  of  the 
clinch  already  rounded  and  smooth. 


"Interconvertible  Gaits." — There  are  differences  of 
opinion  regarding  the  causes  of  horses  pacing.  Iconoclast 
in  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  reasons  that  as  they  are  readily 
changed  from  trot  to  pace,  and  vice  versOj  and  that  very  many 
fast  pacers  are  from  ancestry  in  which  pacing  blooc  forms  a 
very  small  part,  tbe  gaits  are  so  nearly  similar  that  however 
carefully  trotting  lines  are  followed  by  the  breeder  there  will 
be  occasional  pacers.  There  is  no  doubt  in  my  mind  that  the 
position  which  Iconoclast  holds  is  backed  by  the  soundest 
logic,  and  so  nearly  impregnable  that  so  far  assaults 
have  proved  its  strength  rather  than  any  weak- 
ness in  the  structure.  He  assents  to  the  proposition 
that  after  many  generations  of  animals  selected  especially 
for  the  purpose  of  blottiog  out  tbe  teodency  to  pace 
it  might  be  obliterated.  I  shall  go  further  than  Iconoclast 
and  take  the  ground  that  however  clear  the  ancestry  for  any 
number  of  generations,  however  far  the  experiment  may  be 
carried  that  giviog  the  resultant  offspring  an  opportunity  to 
choose,  under  certain  conditions  pacers  will  still  appear.  For 
instance,  let  the  education  be  carried  on  under  instructions  to 
tbe  educator  that  tendencies  to  pace  shall  not  be  thwarted, 
that  when  there  is  the  least  indication  to  adopt  that  system  of 
progression  it  shall  be  encouraged;  in  short,  let  the  same 
lessons  be  awarded  the  pacer  as  are  given  the  trotting  pupil, 


and  there  never  will  le  a  time  when  any  family,  when  large 
enough  to  earn  a  tribal  name,  in  which  pacers  are  unknown. 
Iconoclast  writes:  "I  am  told,  however,  that  there  is  still, 
after  two  hundred  years  of  thoroughbred  breeding,  occasion- 
ally a  thoroughbred  horse  that  paces,  though  I  never  saw 
one."  There  is  nothing  in  the  life  ofj  thoroughbreds  to  en- 
courage the  gait.  Walk,  trot,  slow  trot,  as  trainers  of  race 
horses  do  not  sanction  fast  trotting  exercise,  canter  and  gallop 
are  the  paces  recognized,  and  yet  I  have  known  two  thor- 
oughbreds which  paced.  The  first  was  a  gelding  called 
"York,"  which  B.  Sapp  campaigned  all  over  the  Western 
country.  The  summaries  of  the  St.  Louis  races  in  1S59  gives 
his  pedigree  by  "  Argus  (son  of  Yorkshire),  his  bam  Corena," 
and  without  going  to  the  trouble  to  investigate  the  pedigree, 
he  was  called  thoroughbred  by  his  owner.  I  saw  him  ran 
several  races,  and  he  would  start  from  a  pace,  and  frequently 
came  back  at  that  gait  after  a  false  start.  The  other  was 
Double  Cross,  and  when  the  boy  who  took  care 
of  him  was  tbe  rider  he  would  go  from  slow 
trot  into  a  pace,  quite  a  good  clip  at  that,  before  gallop- 
ing. I  scolded  the  boy  for  allowing  him  to  pace,  and  as  he 
never  showed  any  inclination  in  that  direction  when  in  har- 
ness, supposed  that  the  claim  that  he  could  not  be  controlled 
was  owing  to  the  rider's  preference  for  the  easier  pace.  A 
trial  "  under  saddle"  established  the  boy's  integrity.  For  a 
mile-and-a-half  down  San  Pablo  he  would  not  trot,  ready  to 
gallop,  when  restrained  from  that,  a  smooth,  even  pace.  That 
was  fifteen  years  ago  when  the  pacer  was  on  the  despised  list, 
at  the  present  time  the  tendency  would  be  cultivated,  and 
the  animal,  with  two  crosses  of  Bonnie  Scotland,  and  in  di- 
rect descent  on  the  maternal  side  from  the  Queen  of  the  Turf, 
Fashion,  treated  according  to  present  usages,  figured  as  a  fast 
pacer.  I  have  a  two-year-old  filly  that  has  two  strains  of 
Bonnie  Scotland,  four  of  Lexington,  three-quarters  of  her 
blood  without  a  stain  that  has  the  "pacing  shape"  and 
should  she  signify  an  inclination  similar  to  her  grandsire, 
Double  Cross,  I  shall  be  well  pleased  to  gratify  her. 

The  argument  that  Electioneer  was  gifted  with  so  great  a 
proportion  of  'rotting  prepotency  that  the  absence  of  pacers 
in  his  "roll  of  honor"  is  entirely  due  to  that  is  not  without 
flaws,  and  when  Iconoclast  ascribes  it  to  the  determination 
of  Gov.  Stanford  to  ignore  lateral  speed  thsre  are  good 
grounds  to  frame  the  opinion  upon.  He  does  not  argue,  as  I 
understand  him,  that  such  a  ratio  of  pacers  as  other  great 
trotting  sires  have  begotten  would  have  followed  had  the 
aversion  not  been  so  determined,  but  as  a  pacer  of  any  kind 
of  breeding  has  never  hauled  the  Palo  Alto  colors,  or  been 
allowed  to  practice  the  gait  npon  the  Palo  Alto  track  during 
the  life-time  of  its  founder,  the  absence  of  Electioneer  pacers 
is  accounted  for. 

There  is  nothing  in  the  breeding  on  the  dam's  side  of  An- 
teeo,  Antevolo  and  Anteros,  sons  of  Electioneer  from 
the  same  dam,  that  would  lead  to  the  belief  that 
they  would  get  pacers,  excepting  that  A.  W.  Richmond  was 
the  sire  of  Arrow,  2:13£,  and  Ellwood,  2:17|,  and  yet  all  three 
have  pacing  descendants.  A.  W.  Richmond  got  the  two 
pacers  mentioned  from  a  mare  by  a  son  of  imported  Glencoe, 
and  there  is  not  a  single  strain  in  Richmond's  pedigree  which 
would  indicate  a  pacing  cross. 

When  horses  are  driven  at  their  best  speed,  excepting  the 
fast  gallop,  and  permitted  to  take  the  gait  which  their  inclina- 
tion prompts,  there  will  be  a  proportion  of  pacers.  When 
they  are  encouraged  to  pace  and  punished  for  "striking  "  any 
other  gait,  and  all  the  appliances  for  compulsory  trotting 
used  to  compel  them  to  pace,  there  will  be  a  majority  of 
pacers.  Still  more  of  them  if  colts  were  not  so  well  protected 
from  hurting  themselves  by  boots.  The  pace  is  not  only  the 
fastest  gait  outside  of  the  fast  gallop,  as  it  is  also  the  clearest, 
that  is,  less  liability  to  strike  feet,  pasterns  and  shins.  This 
feature  of  the  discussion,  however,  is  worthy  of  separate  treat- 
ment, and  will  be  made  the  basis  of  another  article.

Dear  Sir  :  To  settle  a  raee  bet  will  you  kindly  answer  the  follow- 
ing questions  :  In  a  match  race  where  the  conditions  are  stipalateJ 
owners  to  drive,  and  the  stake  pot  npon  those  conditions,  hnve 
the  judges  any  right  to  change  drivers  on  complaint  of  a  side  bettor, 
who  claims  that  one  of  the  owners  is  not  driving  to  win,  or  that 
another  driver  can  drive  the  horse  faster?  Should  not  the  judges 
have  declared  side  bets  off  and  allowed  the  owner  to  finish  the  race  ? 
And  the  winner  to  take  the  stake?  A  reply  will  be  greatly  appreci- 
ated.   Yours  truly,  W,  L.  S. 

The  above  question  is  one  which  it  is  difficult  to  decide  by 
others  than  thejudges  of  the  race.  To  prevent  the  commis- 
sive of  fraud  is  the  very  first  duty  of  the  judges,  and  hence  a 
contract  which  takes  away  that  power  is  of  necessity  void. 
Whether  the  complaint  was  made  by  a  "side-bettor,"  or  in 
the  absence  of  any  complaint,  when  the  judges  became  satis- 
fied that  fraud  was  being  perpetuated  their  duty  compelled 
action.  If  the  evidence  were  full  enough  to  justify  the  pen- 
alty, when  that  was  presented  the  proper  course  would  have 
been  to  declare  race  and  all  bets  off" and  punish  the  offender. 
Did  it  appear  that  the  driver  was  simulating  fraud  for  the 
purpose  of  saving  his  money  wagered  on  the  race,  he  should 
surely  not  be  permitted  to  carry  out  his  intention,  and  if  he 
were  the  only  person  to  suffer  by  being  the  sole  backer  of  his 
horse  then  bets  should  be  declared  off,  as  the  correspondent 
suggests, and  the  match  stand.  But  it  frequently  is  tbe  case 
that  several  people  are  interested  in  a  match,  and  the  owner 
of  the  horse  have  small  money  interest  therein,  perhaps 
none. 

There  is  always  a  chance  for  complications  in  races  when 
the  drivers  are  specified,  and  it  is  troublesome  to  cover  them 
with  existing  rules.  Not  many  a  year  ago  I  saw  a  race  of 
this  kind,  in  which  there  was  palpable  fraud  committed,  and 
the  judges  could  not  see  their  way  out  of  the  muddle.  The 
match  was  made  for  a  former  owner  of  the  horse  to  drive, 
and  when  it  became  evident  that  he  was  careless,  to  say  the 
least,  the  other  party  to  the  match  would  not  permit  a  change 
of  drivers,  insisting  on  the  bond  as  signed.  It  was  peculiarly 
hard  case,  and  the  innocent  owner  of  the  horse  who  made  the 
match,  and  lost  bis  money,  will  not  be  likely  to  make  another 
with  similar  conditions. 

When  it  is  well-known  beforehand  who  the  driver  of  the 
race  is  to  be  tbe  judges  would  err  in  removing  him  for  in- 
competency, but  there  may  be  cases  when  the  squelching  of 
fraud  would  justify  a  change  of  drivers  on  that  ground  alone. 

For  instance  a  horse  is  entered  in  a  race  and  it  is  the 
general  supposition  that  he  will  be  driven  with  ordinary 
ability,  it  may  be  that  in  his  former  races  he  has  been  driven 
by  experts.  In  this  hypothetical  case  an  inferior  driver  or 
one  clearly  incompetent  is  selected,  and  the  rule  which  for- 
bids an  excess  of  weight  being  put  on  for  an  apparentlv 
fraudulent  purpose,  will   afford  protection.     The  correspon-

dent  will  learn  from  this  statement. brief  though  it  is  to  covei 
cases  which  are  likely  to  occur,  the  judges  are  the  only  com- 
petent pen>oi.e  to  arrive  at  a  verdict. 

There  might  be  gross  injustice  to  innocent  parties  by  the 
substitution  of  a  better  driver  than  the  one  named,  a  lighter 
driver,  or  any  change  of  the  conditions  which  govern  when 
the  match  was  made,  and  thereiore  the  only  justification  for 
that  procedure  would  be  to  defeat  fraudulent  intent,  and  to 
obtain  evidence  to  punish  the  guilty  person.

The  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. 
—This  has  been  the  first  of  the  associations  to  recognize  the 
importance  of  the  lateral  method  of  progression  and  incorpor- 
ate it  in  the  title.  Even  seven  years  ago,  when  The  American 
was  organized,  the  pacer  had  not  escaped  from  the  slough  of 
ignominy  entirely.  On  belter  ground  than  before  though 
still  burdened  with  a  heavy  impost  in  the  shape  of  opposition 
of  the  ruling  powers,  though  the  "'general  public,"  the  race- 
going  people,  were  just  as  ready  to  applaud  these  lateral  per- 
formances as  those  of  the  diagonal  division.  Quite  near  the 
front  now  and  it  is  no  vain  prediction  that  in  the  near  future 
while  there  will  be  individual  preference  both  will  enjoy 
equal  favoritism  from  the  mass  of  the  patrons  of  light  harness 
sports. 

From  present  indications  the  new  association  will  also  be 
high  in  favor  with  the  people  of  the  territory  which  natur- 
ally come  under  its  protection. 

It  could  not  be  otherwise  once  it  was  evident  that  the  work 
could  be  equally  as  well  done  at  no  greater  expense  than 
membership  in  the  Eastern  associations  entailed.  1  have  yet 
to  read  or  listen  to  a  sound  argument  against  the  institution 
which  will  guard  the  interests  of  all  connected  with  light  har- 
ness horses.  Some  have  been  repeated  to  me  which  it  is  claimed 
were  formulated  in  a  paper  published  on  this  coast,  and  if  the 
rehearsal  is  a  true  representation  no  one  can  be  imposed  upon 
by  such  feeble  attempts  to  convince.  Still,  it  may  be  possible 
that  there  are  a  few  who  will  mistake  assertions  for  facts, 
though  at  present  it  is  sufficient  to  state  that  practically  the 
Occidental  will  receive  the  unanimous  support  of  the  whole 
country  which  has  been  marked  out  as  within  the  scope  of 
the  new  organization.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


SECOND  DAY  SPRING  MEETING — WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  4. 

Marked  improvement  was  noticeable  to-day  in  the  running 
of  the  horses  at  the  local  track.  That  is,  they  ran  closer  to 
"form."  and  the  public  won  a  few  dollars.  Three  favorites 
and  two  long  shots  caught  the  judges'  eyes  first,  and 
the  bookmakers  did  not  have  such  a  very  rosy  time 
of  it.  Riley  Grannan  did  not  have  his  betting  clothes 
on  this  afternoon,  being  content  to  make  book  on  the 
five  events  carded.  Weather  and  track  were  good  enough  to 
suit  the  veriest  growler.  Shaw,  Miller,  L.  Lloyd,  Isom  and 
Cara  rode  the  winners  to-day,  every  one  doing  excellent  work 
io  the  saddle. 

Emma  D.,an  S  to  1  chance,  led  nearly  all  the  way  in  the 
first  race,  winning  with  ease  by  two  lengths  from  Long  d'Or, 
a  12  to  l'er  that  got  away  rather  poorly  and  made  up  a  vast 
amount  of  ground  in  the  homestretch.  Durango,  who  tired 
badlv,  was  third  after  running  second  up  to  the  last  twenty 
yards. 

Vinctor,  the  Brutus — Mollie  H.  colt  from  the  Elmwood 
Stable,  is  all  that  has  been  claimed  for  him,  judging  by  his 
race  to-day.  He  won  under  a  double  wrap  by  about  a  length, 
carrying  120  pounds,  in  0:50,  and  clearly  could  have  run  over 
a  second  faster  with  the  weight  up.  Those  who  have  seen 
him  work  at  San  Jose  declare  him  to  be  the  superior  of  Peter 
the  Great  as  a  two-year-old.  Kai  Moi,  played  heavily  for 
place  at  2A  to  1,  got  the  coveted  honor  by  a  neck  from  Victory, 
who  was  the  second  choice  of  the  talent.  When  Vinctor,  Pat 
Murphy,  Sea  Spray  and  Key  Alfonso  meet  with  weight  up 
we  will  see  a  sure-enough  horse  race. 

Tigress,  off  poorly,  ran  around  the  big  field  in  fine 
style,  winning  with  great  ease  by  two  lengths.  Castro 
just  beat  Victress  a  nose  for  the  place.  Tigress  was  a  warm 
favorite  at  2  to  1  and  8  to  5. 

Royal  Flush  is  a  race  horse.  Carrying  111  pounds  in  the 
handicap,  he  ran  Melanie,  the  favorite,  to  a  stand  still  almost, 
and  won  in  a  hard  drive  by  a  good  head  from  that  sterling 
colt,  De  Bracey.  Melanie  lasted  long  enough  to  finish  third. 
Hoyal  Flush  was  at  10  to  1.  Happy  Day's  price,  12  to  1,  was 
-"j  one,  in  view  of  his  recent  win  of  full  six  furlongs  ia

Tigress  was  a  heavily-played  favorite,  opening  at  2  to  Z, 
closing  at  8  to  5.  Victress  and  Castro  were  at  4  to  1  each, 
Steadfast  b",  the  others  from  15  to  190  to  1.  To  a  straggling 
start  the  order  was  Pricelle,  Victress,  Castro,  Rose  Clark, 
At  the  quarter  Pricelle  wa.s  a  neck  in  front,  Jake  Allen  and 
Castro  head-and-head.  There  was  little  change  at  the  half- 
pole,  Tigress  gradually  improving  her  position,  however. 
The  favorite  ran  around  her  field  with  astonishing  ease,  and 
was  head-and-head  with  Castro  as  they  swung  into  the  home- 
stretch, Steadfast  third.  Tigress  simply  galloped  in  a  winner 
by  two  lengths,  while  Castro,  whipped  out,  just  lasted  long 
enough  to  beat  the  fast-coming  Victress  a  nose  for  place. 
Steadfast  was  a  fair  fourth.    Time,  1:43.

Royal  Flush  had  Melanie  beaten  half-way  down  the  straight, 
and  DeBracey  came  like  a  race  horse  out  of  the  bunch.  He 
gained  fast  on  Royal  Flush,  but  Isom  sat  down  and  rode

Braw  Scot  was  a  hot  favorite  at  7  to  5.  Clacquer  was 
heavily  played — backed  down  from  4  to  3  to  1  in  most  books. 
El  Reno  and  Gussie  were  a*  6  to  1  each,  Carmel  1 0  and  Hay- 
market  20  to  1.  Braw  Scot,  Gussie,  El  Reno  were  the  first 
three  at  the  fall  of  the  flag.  At  the  quarter  Braw  Scot  was  a 
head  in  front  of  Gussie,  Carmel  third,  then  EI  Reno  and  Clac- 
quer. At  the  half-pole  Gussie,  Braw  Scot  and  El  Reno  were 
running  head-and-head,  Carmel  over  a  length  away,  as  far 
from  Clacquer.  As  they  neared  the  final  turn  Braw  Scot 
drew  away,  leading  into  the  straight  by  over  a  length,  Clac- 
quer having  run  up  second,  close  agaiust  the  rails  and  a  neck 
in  front  of  Carmel.  Braw  Scot  was  not  molested  thereafter, 
and  won  easily  by  two  and  a  half  lengths.  Clacquer  was  sec- 
ond, four  lengths  from  Carmel,  third.     Time,  1:29. 

THIRD  DAY  SPRING  MEETING — THURSDAY,  APRIL 5. 

Surprises  galore  were  on  tap  for  the  talent  this  afternoon. 
Three  hot  favorites  were  defeated  in  succession,  one  of  the 
number  though  being  disqualified  for  loss  of  weight.  It  was 
Royal  Flush,  and  after  finishing  first  by  a  head  easily  it  was 
found  that  there  was  a  discrepancy  of  just  29  pounds  in  the 
weight  Isom  weighed  in  with  thirty-odds  pounds  of  lead  in  the 
saddle  at  110  pouods  all  right,  but  tipped  the  beam  at  but  18 
upon  his  return  to  the  scales,  Nothing  remained  but  a  dis- 
qualification, and  the  race  was  given  to  Zobair,  who  finished 
second.  This  is  the  second  time  within  the  past  two  wetks 
that  this  horse  has  been  disqualified  on  the  ground  here  set 
forth,  the  other  occasion  being  on  the  22d  of  March,  when 
Centella,  at  50  to  1,  got  the  money.  To-day  Centella  was 
given  second  place  by  the  set-back.  Many  thousands  of 
dollars  went  glimmering  on  both  occasions.  Royul  Flush 
.Tame  away  and  won  easily  when  Isom  let  go  his  head,  but 
whether  he  could  have  beaten  Zobair  to-day  at  the  weights  is 
hard  to  determine.  He  carried  109  pounds  on  the  22d  of 
Ma.'ch  and  ran  the  mile  out  in  1:41  J,  today  the  time  was 
1:41  if.-  -It  *5  claimed  by  those  in  a  position  to  know  that  the 
horse  runs  about  as  well  with  110  up  as  with  80,  and  the  two 
races  would  go  far  to  bear  this  out.  An  investigation  'of  the 
Oflle  bv  tbe  stewards  after  the  races  were  over  resulted  in  the

vorite, and  heavily  played,  but  had  to  be  whipped  out  to  get 
even  second  place. 

The  story  of  the  fourth  race,  where  Royal  Flush  was  dis- 
qualified, is  told  ab>ve.  R  >yal  Flush  ran  second  most  of  the 
way  until  the  homestretch  was  reached,  and  when  Isom  gave 
him  his  head  shot  in  an  easy  winner  by  a  head,  with  Cen- 
tella about  a  neck   away,  and  Roniair  at  het  heels. 

Conde,  the  favorite,  was  an  easy  victor  in  the  last  race  of 
the  day.  He  waited  on  St.  Crnix  and  Ravine  until  well  in 
the  homestretch  and  then  romped  in  first  by  a  -length,  Ra- 
vine second  and  Border  Lassie  third.  But  for  being  cut  off 
a  furlong  from  home,  Trii  would  have  been  second  and 
might  have  given  Conde  quite  an  argument.

Of  late  years  no  race  meeting  has  clashed  with  Washing- 
ton Park,but  this  year  Frank  Shaw  proposes  to  have  racing  on 
the  Twin  City  Jockey  Club  grounds  on  the  dates  of  the  big 
Chicago  fixture.  Shaw  has  done  a  good  maDy  foolish  things 
in  his  time,  but  this  certainly  is  the  most  stupid  of  all.  His 
foreign  book  on  the  Washington  Park  events  may  possibly 
keep  a  few  from  journeying  to  the  Garden  City,  but  the 
majority  of  owners  prefer  to  race  at  a  meeting  at  Washington 
Park  rather  than  for  such  purses  as  St.  Paul  and  Minneapolis 
generally  support.  Shaw  will  find,  as  other  people  have  done, 
that  it  does  not  pay  to  clash  with  Washington  Park. — The 
Horseman. 

J.  Naglee  Bdek's  two-year-olds,  in  H.Mason's  hands, 
will  not  be  raced  in  the  stakes  at  the  local  coursethis  Spring, 
but  will  be  saved  for  richer  events  at  Chicago  and  the  Far 
East.  The  half-brother  to  Wandering  Nnn  (by  Peel — imp. 
Janet  N.,  by  Macgregor)  is  said  to  be  a  fine  youngster,  and 
there  are  other  promising  ones  in  the  string.  The  Examiner, 
brother  to  Armitage,  is  a  little  lame,  and  he  may  not  be  able 
to  fill  his  stake  engagements  at  the  present  meeting.  He  be- 
longs to  Mr.  E.  Duffey,  of  this  city,  (o  whom  we  tender  our 
sympathy.  

The  departure  of  the  splendid  Kentucky  Stable  will  be 
greatly  regretted,  because  there  was  excellent  material  in  the 
string  and  the  horses  were  always  out  to  win.  In  the  lot  are 
Templemore,  Seville,  Prince  Henry  and  Zenobia,  all  of 
whom  are  in  great  shape  at  tbis  time. 

There  was  foaled  at  Wildidle  Stock  Farm,  March  -,  a 
chestnut  colt  by  Vanquish  (by  Vanguard),  dam  Lottie  J.,  by 
Wildidle,  and  April  3rd,  a  chestnut  colt  by  Vanquish,  dam

Uicted  by  Wm.  F.  Egan  M.  R.  C.  V.  S.,  F.  E.  V.M 

Hseribers  to  this  paper  can  have  advice  through 
jjilumn  iu  all  cases  of  sick  or  injured  horses  ot 
by  sending  an  explicit  description  of  the  cases 
ants  will  send  tfieir  name  and  address,  that 
ay  be  identified.  Questions  requiring  answers 
il  should  be  accompanied  by  two  dollars  and 
ssed  to  Wm.  F.  Egan,  M.  R.  C.  V.  S..1117  Golden 
Ire..  San  Francisco. 

C,  Oakland. — I  have  a  mare  that  got  of! 
"  about  four  days  ago.  She  runs  a  little 
h  nostrils,  coughs  as  though  it  hurts  her 
go.  She  hangs  her  head  and  looks  dull 
leavy.  When  I  make  her  turn  round  she 
s  as  though  ii  hurts.  A  friend  of  mine 
lie  it  is  the  glanders,  and  that  I  am  likely 
;e  the  disease  and  die  if  I  go  around  her 
,  and  that  some  people  have  died  of  that 
le  in  San  FraDcisco  lately.  He  says  that 
likely  to  be  arrested  for  keeping  her,  and 
t  will  cost  me  more  than  the  price  of  two 
$,  besides  getting  my  name  in  the  papers, 
led  a  veterinarian  to  see  her  yesterday, 
e  says  that  there  is  no  glanders,  but  lung 
and  pleurisy,  and  that  that  it  is  not 
og  to  people,  and  says  that  he  thinks  he 
ire  her.  Now  I  want  your  advice  as  to 
to  do,  as  I  don't  want  to  get  myself  into 
ouble,  and  still  I  want  to  save  my  mare, 
"you  think  there  is  any  chance  of  any 
itching  the  disease  and  dying  from  it  I 
not  keep  her  alive  an  hour.  Please  re- 
nest  issue.  Answer — Go  according  to 
veterinary  surgeon's  advice,  if  he  is  a 
)ractical  man.  The  symptoms  are  those 
ura-pneumonia,  not  of  glanders,  but  I 
'not  venture  an  opinion  without  seeing 
se,  as  it  is  a  serious  matter  to  guess  on.

THE    GREAT    RACE    HORSE 


(Winner  of  First  Prize  for  Thoroughbred  Stallions  at  California  State  Fair,  1893) 

WILL    MAKE    THE    SEASON    OF    1891    AT 

AGRICULTURAL       F.A.X1.K.,       SAN       J"  O  &  E3  , 


CAL 


Five  days  of  each  week,  and  on  Mondays  and  Tuesdays  at  FISHER'S  RANCH,  COYOTE,  CAL. 


LOV  A.LIST  was  one  of  the  very  greatest  race  horses 
In  Australia,  winner  of  the  rich  Brunswick  Slakes, 
lUm«eB.onTurfC,our«eJn2:iw,4.tlie  beat  time 
on  record  until  beaten  by  the  renowned  Carbine, 
who  ran  In  2:07)£.  Also  won  Tasmania  Jockey 
Club  Trial  Stakes,  L  1-8  miles,  and  Tasiuaiiinn  Fly- 
ing Handicap,  6  furlongs,  and  ran  second  In  Final 
Handicap,  A.  J.  C,  1M  miles,  In  2:10. 
hero  are  only  two  (irandsoun  of  Stork  well 
(the  Greatest  Sire  that  Ever  Lived)   etand- 

lug  In  America,  and  Loyalist  In  one. 

Imp.  Loyalist  Is  a  dark  bay  horse,  foaled  In  Noveni- 

r,rr  1884, bred  bv  Mr.RamoeJ  Gardiner,  pfBundoora 

f*rk  Melbourne  i breeder  of  Darebln  i.  He  stands  15.3 
bands  on  steely  legs,  and  has  neat  Joints  and  the  best 
of  feeL     Lovallst  is  a  typical  Marquis  horse,  being  hard 

and  muscQlar.Btandlngoveralotofgroand,  wlthanort, 

strong  back,  aud  with  wonderfully  muscular  quarters. 

His  head  and  neck   are   models   of  symmetry,    bis 

shoulders  are  well-placed,  and  he  Is  all  over  "  horse, 

a  grand  constitution— a  most  excellent  point 

The  success  of  the  Marquis'  sons  as  sires  in  Australia 
Is  truly  remarkable,  NewmlnBter,  one  ol  them,  being 
admittedly  one  Of  the  best  in  the  Colonies.  Loyalist  s 
sire— The  Marquis— won  the  Doncasler  St.  Leger  aud 
Two  Thousand  Guineas  of  1862,  aud  only  lost  the  Derby 
by  a  nead.  He  wus  bv  the  Emperor  oi  Sires— Stock- 
well— from  Clulzelli.bv  Touchstone,  who  was  one  of 
the  greatest  broodmares  in  English  turf  history,  pro- 
ducing, aa  she  did,  The  Marquis,  The  Peer  (sire  of  Dar- 
«bln>,  Towton  (sire  of  a  host  of  winners),  and  Mar- 
chioness (.winner  of  The  Oaks,  and  dam  of  the  great 
Fishhook  and  Rose  of  Denmark,  who  have  left  their 
might v  Impress  ou  the  horses  of  Australia.) 

Loyalist's  dam  Loyal  Peress  (by  The  Peer,  sire  of 
Dareblu ),  produced, In  addition  to  Loyalist,  Loyaistone, 
who  will  everbe  remembered  In  Australian  turf  history 
as  having  been  beaten  only  by  a  nose  by  Vengeance  in 
the  rich  Caulfleld  Cup  of  1890,  i>s  miles,  in  the  best 
lime  on  record  (on  a  turf  course),  In  a  very  large  Held. 
Mauv  people  always  contend  that  Loyaistone  really 
won  "it.  Vengeance,  who  received  the  verdict,  was  by 
Newminater,  son  ot  The  Marquis. 

Loyalist  comes  of  wonderful  sire  lines,  for  apart 
from  his  truly  grand  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  he  has 
on  his  dam's  side  of  the  house  breeding  unequalled  in 
America,  if  indeed  in  the  world.  Loyal  Peeress  pro- 
duced Loyalist,  Lovalstone  and  Loyal  Lady,  the  latter 
in  turn  the  dam  of  Submission,  a  heavy  winner  in  1892. 
His  second  dam,  Loval  Devoir,  produced  the  winner, 
Caractacus;  the  third  dan,,  Letty  West,  produced 
Glorious,  a  most  successful  Australian  sire,  and  Fitz- 
harding,  Dauebury  and  Letty  Lyon,  splendid  race- 
horses; the  fourth  dam,  Bay  Letty,  gave  to  the  world 
Libelous  and  Letty  Long;  the  fifth  dam,  Miss  Letty, 
winner  of  the  Oaks,  produced  the  renowned  aire, 
Weatherblt,  and  ten  others  that  were  race  horses  and 
producers,  among  the  number  Letetia,  sixth  dam  of 
Palo  Alto's  great  colt,  Cadmus.  Loyalist's  sixth  dam, 
the  Orville  mare,  is  the  third  dam  of  that  famous 
English  sire,  Adventurer,  while  bis  tenth  dam,  Pros- 
erpine, was  sister  to  the  mighty  Eclipse,  of  "Eclipse 
first,  the  rest  nowhere  "  fame.

ST.  8AVIOCB  (son  of  Bolus  and  War  Song,  by  War  Dance) 
is  the  sire  of  that  grand  colt,  ZOBAIR,  and  the  good  performer, 
DeBRACY.  St.  Saviour  did  not  start  as  a  two-year-old.  As  a  three- 
year-old  he  ran  four  times,  and  was  three  times  first  and  once  second. 
Won  the  Barnegat  Stakes,  1*£  miles,  beating  the  great  Duchess,  Bob 
Miles  and  six  others;  won  Rarltan  Stakes,  1J4  miles,  defeating  the 
King  Ernest-Mlmlcoltand  fourothersin  acanter:  won  the  Newark 
Stakes,  one  mile,  pulled  double,  by  four  lengths,  and  ran  second  to 
Rataplan  for  the  rich  Emporium  Slakes,  meeting  the  pick  of  the 
country.  Not  only  was  he  a  great  racehorse,  but  a  brother  to  the 
phenonenal  racers,  Eole,  Eollst  and  Eon.  EoIub,  St.  Savh-ur's  Blre, 
was  a  famous  stake-winner,  while  his  dam,  War  Song,  threw  no  less 
than  live  high-class  winners.  Eolus  was  by  the  Immortal  Leaming- 
ton, aire  of  Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Iroquois,  Onondaga  and  Sensation. 
8L  Saviour  has  demonstrated  hla  worth  at  the  stud.  SEVRICK

Imp.  GREENBACK. 

Imp.  GREENBACK,  (son  of  Dollar  and  Music,  by  Stock welli, 
bred  In  France,  is  the  sire  of  the  winners  Satanella,  Green  Hock  and 
Currency  in  this  country,  and  Green  Shank,  Green  Sleeves,  Green 
Light  and  many  others  in  England.  As  a  racehorse  he  was  very 
high-class,  winning  five  races  out  of  eight  starts  as  a  three-year-old. 
Won  Earl  Spencer's  Plate  (handicap),  live  furlongs,  beating  a  field  ol 
fourteen  good  ones;  won  the  Peel  Handicap,  beating  nine;  won  the 
Kimbolton  Welter  Handicap,  126  pounds  up,  beating  Ironstone  and 
two  others  ;  beaten  a  head  for  Members'  Handicap  at  Huntingdon 
by  Thormanby- Actress  colt;  won  a  two-mile  race  at  Royal  Caledo- 
nian Hunt  meeting;  won  Caledonian  Cup,  two  miles,  at  the  same 
meeting.  Thus  It  will  be  seen  that  Greenback  was  a  winner  at 
nearly  all  distances  from  five  furlongs  to  two  miles.  Greenback's 
opportunities  at  the  stud  in  this  country  have  not  been  nearly  of  the 
best.    SERVICE  FEE,  S7.V

this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvfu  bus  let  out  all  ihe 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  lhat 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any

FOURTH  DAY  SPRING  MEETING— FRIDAY,  APRIL  6. 

HIS  was  a  sort  of  "off  day,"  the 
card  being  a  light  one  and  the  cali- 
ber of  the  contestants  not  of  the 
greatest  by  any  means.  The  atten- 
dance was  fair,  however,  the  day 
beautiful,  while  in  two  of  the  races 
there  were  exciting  finishes.  Fa- 
vorites won  the  first|three  races,  long 
shots  the  last  two.  The  feature  of 
the  day's  sport  was  the  handy  win 
of  North,  a  10  to  1  shot,  over  Ti- 
jress,  Conde  and  Whitestone.  Just  why  North  should  have 
)fien  at  such  long  odds,  in  view  of  his  win  at  five  and  a  half 
"urlongs  in  1:08— the  best  run  of  either  meeting — is  an  enig-

LoDg  d'Or  was  the  favorite,  played  down  from  2  to  1  to  7 
to  5.  Little  Frank's  odds  receded  from  2h  to  S\  to  1,  then 
when  he  ran  away  over  six  furlongs  it  was  a  case  of  write 
your  own  ticket.  Chevy  Chase  and  Durango  were  at  G  to  1 
each,  Currency  and  Bliss  8  each,  Regal  12  and  Jessie  GO  to  1.

Bliss,  who  was  a  head  from  Currency,  Long  d'Or  another

Tigress  was  a  well-supported  favorite  as  8  to  5,  Conde  sec- 
ond choice  at  11  to  5.  Whitestone  was  at  2J  to  1,  North  10, 
and  imp.  Trentola  15  to  1.  Conde,  North,  Trentola,  White- 
stone, Tigress  was  the  order  to  a  fair  start.  North  at  once 
rushed  to  the  fore,  leading  by  a  leogth  at  the  half-pole,  Conde 
second  under  a  pull,  half  a  length  from  imp.  Trentola,  Ti- 
gress next,  Whitestone  trailing  behind  the  bunch  a  couple  of 
lengths.  North  was  leading  into  the  homestretch  by  a  length, 
Conde  second,  half  a  length  from  Tigress,  Whitestone  looking 
dangerous.  North  and  Tigress  drew  out  in  the  last  furlong 
to  have  the  race  to  themselves.  Tigress  looked  all  over  a 
winner  one  hundred  yards  from  home,  but  Chevalier  was 
"kidding"  Lloyd,  and  letting  go  his  mount's  head,  shot 
North  in  a  clever  winner  by  a  neck,  Tigress  second,  two 
lengths  from  Conde,  third.     Time,  1:15. 

SIXTH   DAT  SPRING   MEETING — SATURDAY,   APRIL   7. 

A  crowd  of  fully  3,500  saw  some  excellent  racing  this 
superb  afternoon.  Three  favorites,  it  is  true,  were  defeated 
in  the  five  events,  but  the  wins  were  so  meritorious  and 
decisive  that  there  was  no  growling  of  any  moment  dooe  by 
the  public.  The  track  has  been  faster  than  to  day's,  but  still 
the  time  made  in  four  of  the  races  was  far  above  the  aver- 
age. Felix  Carr  again  rode  two  winners,  and  other  victori- 
ous jockeys  were  A.  Covington,  George  Miller  and  Shaw. 
Strange  to  relate,  the  least  interesting  race  of  the  whole  after- 
noon was  the  Tidal  Stakes,  mile  and  a  quarter.  This  is  well 
worth  the  winning,  the  first  money  being  something  over 
$800,  yet  only  thr^e  came  out  to  contest.  Thornhill  out- 
classed his  competitors  so  badly  that  he  won  in  a  big  gallop, 
with  his  head  swinging. 

Piquante,  by  Flambeau  from  Thornhill's  dam,  won  the 
first  race  handily  by  a  trifle  over  a  length.  Sea  Spray  came 
up  from  fifth  place  in  the  final  furlong  and  soatched  the 
place  in  the  last  stride,  Yinctor,  the  favorite,  being  a  close-up 
third.  About  an  eighth  of  a  mile  from  home  the  favorite 
was  leading  by  a  length.  A  little  dog  ran  across  the  track 
immediately  in  front  of  him — in  fact,  George  Miller  had  to 
pull  up  to  keep  from  running  over  the  animal.  Whether 
this  cost  the  race  is  enigmatical,  but  it  is  a  fair  presumption 
at  any  rate  that  we  would  have  seen  a  horse  race  between 
Viuctor  and  Piquante  but  for  the  dog  running  out  on  the 
course.  A  sign  was  at  once  put  up  that  all  dogs  found  on  the 
track  wou'dbe  slaughtered.  Of  course  this  has  no  allusion  to 
"dogs"  of  the  equine  genus.  They  can  be  seen  ruoning  on 
the  track  at  almost  any  hour  of  the  day, 

St.  Croix  won  a  race  finally  for  Nick  Hall,  Getting  away 
fourth  to  a  fair  start,  he  soon  dashed  to  the  fore,  and  though 
Chemuck  sneaked  up  on  him  in  the  final  sixteenth,  the  fav- 
orite drew  away  and  won  easily  by  a  head  from  the  whipped- 
out  filly.  The  Lark,  who  got  away  first  sod  fell  back,  came 
again  and  got  the  show. 

The  Tidal  Stakes  were  easily  won  by  Thornhill,  who  waited 
on  Prlcelle  for  nearly  six  furlongs,  and  then  easily  passed  to 
the  fore.  Carmelcame  up  in  the  homestretch  and  ran  he*d- 
and  bead  with  Thornhill  under  sufferance.  In  the  last  thirty 
yards  Miller  let  the  latter  have  hi*  head,  and  he  was  an  easy 
winner  by  a  neck,  withPricelle  about  three  lengths  off. 

Centella  won  the  mile  handicap  as  easily  almost  as  Thorn- 
hill did   the   Tidal.     Hotspur   led   to  the  quarter,  then  De

Bracey  took  command,  leading  iolo  the  homestretch  by  a 
neck,  with  Braw  Scot  second,  as  far  from  Centella.  Braw 
Scot  looked  dangerous  up  to  the  last  twenty-five  yards.  Cen- 
tella wassimply  galloping,  and  when  Shaw  gave  her  rein  she 
shot  in  a  winner  by  a  head,  De  Bracey  third]  two  lengths  off, 
a  oose  only  from  Gilead,  who  hs>d  been  played  for  a  killing. 
TillreS.  ran  Laird  into  the  homestretch,  several  lengths  be- 
hind the  leader,  Romair.  She  gradually  improved  her  posi- 
tion in  the  straight,  however,  and  won  in  about  the  same 
fashion  as  Centella.  though,  by  a  neck.  Promise  was  a  good

Thornhill  opened  favorite  at  1  to  4,  closed  at  1  to  3,  most  of

SIXTH  DAY   sPRlXG  MEETING — TUESDAY,  APRIL  10. 

Long  shots  won  three  races  to  day  and  cast  the  talent 
into  the  Slough  of  Despond.  The  non-favorites  that  now 
were  at  odds  of  30  to  1 ,  40  to  1  and  7  to  1 ,  and  it  is  safe  to 
say  the  first  two  meulioned  were  not  played  lo  an  extent 
worth  mentioning.  A  heavy  wind  blew  this  afternoon,  and 
the  time  made  was  not  fast  in  any  of  the  events.  The  attend- 
ance was  excellent,  a  crowd  of  not  less  than 
2,500  being  on  hand  to  battle  with  eleven  bookmaking 
firms  tor  supremacy.  The  winning  jockeys  wereBilly  Hill, 
Wildmatb,  Shaw,  Ames  and  Sloan,  the  first-named  riding 
with  his  old-time  dash  and  determination.  The  others  rode 
with  good  judgment  in  their  races  also. 

In  ths  first  race  Sea  Spray  waited  on  Venus  until  well  in 
the  homestretch,  then  came  with  a  wet  sail  and  won  with 
great  ease  by  not  quite  a  length,  Monterey  a  couple  of 
lengths  behind  Venus.  Monterey  was  played  stronger  than 
any  horse  in  the  race,  probably.  Venus  was  a  sort  of  sur- 
prise party. 

Rear  Guard  was  played  all  around  the  ring  in  tbe  second 
race  as  if  it  were  all  over.  He  got  away  in  front,  but  was  at 
once  taken  back  third,  Miss  Buckley,  carrying  but  seventy- 
seven  pounds,  sneaking  away  with  a  big  lead.  She  did  not 
come  back  to  her  field  a  little  bit,  however,  as  was  ex- 
pected, and  Carr  rode  Rear  Guard  vigorously  all  the  way 
down  the  straight.  It  was  of  no  avail,  for  the  gap  was  too 
wide,  and  Miss  Buckley  won  by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Rear 
Guard  second,  six  lengths  from  Seaside.  The  winner's  price 
was  30  to  1. 

Fred  Parker  led  around  to  the  homestretch  by  a  couple  of 
lengths  in  the  third  event  Then  Patsy  O'Neil,  the  favorite, 
got  up  and  looked  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the  last  150  yards. 
Monarch  was  brought  up  with  a  great  rush  near  the  end,  and 
won  from  the  fast  coming  Annie  Moore  by  ihree  parts  of  a 
leng'h.  Patsy  O'Neil  finished  as  far  behind  the  mare.  He  was 
reported  broken  down. 

Braw  Scot  was  beaten  less  than  a  length  by  Catch  'Em.  a" 
to  1  shot  at  one  time,  simply  because  Carr  was  over-confident 
and  allowed  Catch  'Em  to  get  the  rail  and  steal  away  from 
him  in  the  homestretch. 

The  last  race  was  a  mere  exercise  gallop  for  Trix,  who  won 
under  a  strong  pull  by  a  length,  with  De  la  Guerra,  a  40  to  1 
shot,  in  the  place.  Queen  of  Scots,  third,  just  beat  Promise 
for  the  show  money.  Morven  ran  away  three  times,  in  all 
considerably  over  a  mile,  and  then  led  into  the  homestretch. 
He  might  have  been  dangerous  but  for  his  actions  before  the 
race.

"Why  Not's  Grand  National. 


Liverpool,  March  30. — The  Grand  National  Steeplechase 
was  won  by  Why  Not,  Lady  Ellen  was  second  and  Wild  Man 
from  Borneo  was  third. 

The  Grand  National  Steeplechase,  known  as  the  Cross 
,  Country  Derby,  was  run  over  the  Grand  National  course, 
about  four  miles  and  S56  yards.  Tbe  prize  is  2.500 sovereign 
inclusive,  at  the  option  of  the  winner,  of  a  trophy  of  the  value 
of  100  sovereigns  ;  second  horse  receives  ?00  sovereigns  and 
third  horse  200  sovereigns  from  tbe  stakes. 

The  Grand  National  Steeplechase  is  to  cross-country  riders 
what  the  Derby  is  to  flat  races.  Great  interest  was  attached 
to  the  event  this  year,  owing  to  the  fact  that  Cloister,  who 
won  easily  by  forty  lengths  last  year,  and  was  the  favorite  for 
this.'vear,  broke  down  completely  while  iu  training.  In  spite 
of  this,  tens  of  thousands  of  people  journeyed  to-day  to  the 
Aiotree  course  to  witness  the  Cross  Country  Derby.  There 
were  fourteen  starters.  Why  Not  was  third  in  last  year's 
Grand  National. 

Lady  Ellen  made  the  running  until  within  three  fences 
from  home,  when  Wild  Man  froni'Borneo  drew  to  the  front, 
but  the  latter  gave  way  iu  the  straight  to  Whv  Not,  who  won 
by  a  length  and  a  half.  A  head  separated  the  second  and 
third  horses.     The  betting  was  a  5  to  1  against  Why  Not. 

Geo.  J.  Haklfy.  Cresiland  Farm,  Great  Neck,  L.  I.,  has 
arranged  with  John  Goldsmith  to  handle  Enola,  2:21$,  by  R. 
F.  Galloway.  This  mare  got  her  record  over  a  half-mile 
trade  last  season,  aud  was  considered  equal  to  a  mile  better 
than  2.15.  She  is  a  good  actor  and  dead  game,  and  with 
Goldsmith's  hustling  tactics  she  ought  to  be  a  good  one  in 
her  class.

The   Home  of  Bend  Or. 
A  special   commissioner  of  the  London   Daily  Sportsman 
writes  as  follows  about  a  recent  visit  to  the   Duke  of  West- 
minster's Eaton  Stud : 

'  What  an  extraordinary  foal !  "  "  Yon  may  well  eay  that, 
sir;  he's  only  twelve  hours  old,  and  just  put  your  hand  on  his 
neck — like  an  old  horse's  almost*'  It  was  so  indeed;  hard 
and  absolutely  muscular,  The  foal  was  otherwise  astonishingly 
strong  and  old-fashioned  for  one  so  young.  And  what  foal 
was  it  ?  the  reader  will  ask. 

Why,  own  brother  to  Ormonde,  a  great  banging  chestnut 
with  a  large  white  star  on  his  forehead,  lengthy,  well-placed 
shoulders,  and  hind  quarters  of  the  best.  He  was  foaled  last 
Monday  night  (Feb.  12)  in  the  same  bos  as  his  illustrious 
relative — ten  years  ago — and  there  he  stood  on  Tuesday 
morning  robust  and  vigorous,  having  given  poor  old  Lily  Ag- 
nes, who  is  now  23.  a  very  severe  time  of  it,  but  she,  too,  was 
quite  well.  Eighteen  days  after  his  due  dale  had  this  young 
gentleman  come  on  the  scene,  and  in  this  he  nearly  rivalled 
his  big  brother,  whom  the  mare  carried  twelve  months,  all 
but  four  days.  Ormonde  himself  was  quite  a  monster  when 
foaled,  the  reason,'  of  course,  beiog  that  he  arrived  so  late; 
and  it  any  inference  can  be  drawn  from  this  case,  this  latest 
brother  of  his  ought  .to  be  carefully  watched.  Lilly  Agnes  is 
strangely  fresh  for  her  age— age,  indeed,  and  yet  it  seems 
only  yesterday  that  one  saw  her  win  the  Ebor  Handicap  from 
a  fair  field!  Her  well-preserved  condition  speaks  volumes 
for  the  attention  and  care  of  Chapman,  the  Duke  of  West- 
minster's stud  groom,  to  whom  I  was  speaking  at  the  com- 
mencement of  this  artiele. 

Now  for  a  contract.  Across  the  spacious  yard  to  a  corner 
there,  go  in  through  that  door,  and  what  do  yon  see?  Not 
a  new  born  foal,  but  a  skeleton — the  skeleton  of  the  immor- 
tal Touchstone,  standing  in  all  its  startling  nakedness,  while 
beneath  it  lie  three  or  four  of  the  bones  of  Beeswing.  And 
to  think  that  here  we  have  the  relics  of  that  combination 
which  gave -us  Xewminster  !  Touchstone  was  foaled  in  1831, 
and  Beeswing  in  1833,  and  now  some  sixty  years  later  here  is 
what  is  left  of  them.  It  is  an  instructive  spectacle,  mind 
you,  this  skeleton  of  Touchstone,  and  not  the  least  remark- 
able feature  in  it  is  that  he  had — or  shall  we  say  has  ? — two 
more  ribs  than  are  allotted  to  other  horses.  In  other  words, 
instead  of  having  the  false  ribs  on  either  side  he  has  ten  ;  the 
lost  two,  however,  not  being  joined  by  a  ligament  to  the 
others,  and  coming  from  the  first  of  the  lumbar  vertebrae. 
One  can  well  believe  all  the  stories  of  Touchstone's  hind 
action,  for  his  thigh  and  tibia  bones  are  of  abnormal  length; 
his  width  to  follow  is  conspicuous,  and  his  girth  and  barrel 
must  have  caused  trouble  to  the -saddlers — indeed,  I  believe 
special  trees  had  to  be  made  for  him.  On  the  other  hand,  his 
shoulders  do  not  appear  to  have  been  anything  to  boast  of. 
Such  is  the  famous  Touchstone  as  he  stands  there,  and  from 
this  contemplation  of  birth  and  death  let  us  turn  to  another 
subject. 

The  world  wags  on,  and  if  one  great  sire  is  dead  another 
takes  his  place.  Here  again  we  revert  to  the  very  initiation, 
for  in  his  stallion  box  stands  Orme,  looking  simply  superb — 
quiet,  sensible,  and  yet  with  something  ot  a  wistful  gaze  to 
the  open  door,  the  usually  half-droopiogeais  pricking  a  little 
anxiously.  It  was  only  over  night  that  he  had  his  first  ex- 
perience in  stud  life.  St.  Mary  being  his  consort,  and  it  is 
gratifying  to  know  that  he  has  taken  to  his  duties  satisfac- 
torily, and  is  not  in  the  least  upset  in  temper  or  tempera- 
ment. Orme  will  mate  up  into  a  magnificent  stallion,  and 
it  is  pleasant  to  look  at  him  now  and  blot  out  the  memory  of 
that  fatal  day  when  he  assayed  an  impossible  task  against 
Cnildwick.  That  he  was  one  of  the  best  horses  we  have  ever 
known  I  shall  always  believe,  and  all  talk  about  his  lack  of 
stamina  is  nonsense.  His  doubtful  off  fore  joint,  which  still 
strikes  the  eve,  naturally  prevented  any  attempt  to  train  him 
over  long  distances  last  year,  while  as  to  the  Legerit  is  cer- 
tain tint  that  running  was  hopelessly  incorrect.  Good  as  La 
Fleche  is,  and  fancied  as  she  was  at  Sandown,  John  Porter 
knew  he  would  beat  her,  and  furthermore  stated  that  Orme 
would  give  her  seven  pounds  at  Goodwood  and  beat  her  again. 
So  he  did,  and  that,  too,  after  a  finish  in  which  it  was  stam- 
ina, and  stamina  only,  that  got  the  winner  home,  for  the  mare 
got  up  and  had  the  best  of  it  one  hundred  yards  from 
the  chair. 

LeaviDg  Orme  with  his  faithful  attendant,  Barnard,  let  us 
pass  on  to  the  other  stallion  box  and  interview  Bend  Or.  It 
is  a  good  many  years  now  since  this  best  son  of  Doocaster 
fought  out  the  desperate  issue  with  Robert  the  Devil  on  Ep- 
som Downs,  but  any  one  who  took  careful  note  of  him  then 
would  not  see  a  very  marked  change  in  him  now,  so  fresh 
and  well  is  this  beautiful,  silver-ticked  chestnut,  who  for  per- 
fection of  shape  and  contour  has  never  in  my  humble  opinion 
been  surpassed.  In  saying  this  I  do  not  mean  that  I  prefer 
Bend  Or  or  Orme,  for  the  latter  is  of  a  type  that  I  like  be- 
yond all,  but,  judged  simply  from  symmetry  and  points  at  a 
show,  I  do  not  see  how  Bend  Or  could  be  beaten.  Chapman 
bar-  a  just  pride  in  the  condition  of  the  horse,  whose  legs  are 
as  clean  as  when  he  first  "when  into  training,  and  his  feet  as 
cool  and  healthy  as  ever.  Bend  Or  does  his  100  miles  a  week 
regularly,  as  does  Orme;  and  his  temper  is  of  the  best,  sothat 
I  or  any  one  can  handle  him  without  trouble.  He  had  a  bad 
season  last  year,  so  far  as  the  two-year-olds  went,  but  this  was 
the  result  of  the  Duke's  decision  to  give  him  a  rest  in  1890, 
when  nnly  a  ve;y  limited  number  of  mares  were  put  to  him, 
and  so  it  comes  that  he  has  not  half  a  dozen  of  three-year- 
olds  in  training  ;  but  this  will  all  be  changed,  and,  like  his 
sire,  Doncaster,  who  even  last  year  beat  all  the  Austrian  stal- 
lions, he  will  give  us  more  great  winners  up  to  the  finish. 
I  never  noticed  before  that  amone  Bend  Or's  black  birth 
spot   is  one  on  the  inside  of  his  oil' fore  fetlock. 


that  her  equal  would  never  be  seen,  but  Dexter  appeared  and 
demonstrated  that  2:19|didnot  represent  the  fastest  mile 
capable  of  beiog  tratted.  The  white-legged  gelding  was  the 
idol  of  his  hour  until  his  record  was  surpassed  by  the  per- 
formance of  Goldsmith  Maid.  She,  in  turn,  was  succeeded 
by  Rarus,  he  by  St.  Julien,  he  by  Maud  S.,  she,  for  a  siogle 
day,  by  jay-Eye-See,  when  she  regained  her  lost  honors 
Sunol  succeeded  her,  and  a  short  while  later  she  surrendered 
the  crown  to  Nancy  Hanks,  by  whom  it  is  at  present  held, 
all  of  which  goes  to  show  that  we  are  progressing  in  extreme 
speed,  and  no  sooner  does  any  particular  animal  seem  to  be 
invincible  than  a  fresh  aspirant  for  fame  appears  and  usurps 
the  highest  place. 

We  never  had  such  a  lot  of  first-class  material  for  the  free- 
to-all  as  we  have  at  the  present  time.  If  Directum  is  really 
invincible  he  should,  of  course,  be  barred,  as  it  would  be  a 
great  hardship  on  the  other  competitors  to  be  obliged  to  en- 
counter a  horse  against  whom  they  had  no  chance  to  win, 
and  consequently  no  chance  to  secure  first  money,  and  with 
first  money  beyond  their  reach  they  would  have  to  pay  a 
large  per  cent,  in  the  form  of  entrance  money  for  the  privi- 
lege of  fighting  for  the  second  and  remaining  divisions  of 
the  purse.  Directum  barred  is  Directum  injured,  as  far  as 
earning  money  in  class  events  is  concerned,  and  he  must  de- 
pend wholly  upon  fast  exhibition  miles  as  his  means  of  in- 
creasing his  owner's  bank  account. 

I  do  not  consider  that  Directum  or  aoy  other  horse  has 
any  "cinch"  in  a  free-for-all,  composed  of  such  great  ones  as 
Arion,  Kremlin,  Alix,  Pixley,  Fantasy,  Nightingale,  Martha 
Wilkes  and  possibly  three  or  four  others.  Any  horse  to  win 
a  race  in  such  company  must  be  in  the  very  highest  form, 
and  any  material  change  from  such  form  would  mean  defeat 
for  him,  be  it  even  Directum.  Again,  in  afield  of  ten  such 
trotters  as  the  free-for-all  could  show,  lei  the  best  horse  draw 
the  outside,  or  make  a  mistake  anywhere  in  the  mile  or  in 
the  race,  and  the  whole  complexion  of  the  contest  is  altered 
from  what  was  so  confidently  supposed  would  be  ;he  outcome. 

I  look  for  the  greatest  performer  of  1894  to  be  a  stallion, 
and  in  my  judgment  it  will  He  between  Directum,  Kremlin 
and  Arion,  should  the  last  two  mentioned  be  withdrawn  from 
the  stud  early  enough  to  give  ample  time  to  conditions  for 
makine  fast  time  favorable. 

Mr.  Doble  is  a  person  of  most  excellent  judgment,  and  his 
opinion  on  equine  matters  would  be  taken  as  quickly  as  that 
of  any  man  living.  He  drove  Dexter,  Goldsmith  Maid  and 
Nancy  Hanks,  and  gave  them  each  their  champion  record, 
and  enjoys  the  distinction  of  having  ridden  a  faster  public 
mile  behind  a  trotting  horse  than  anv  other  man  has  ever 
accomplished,  and  he  gives  it  as  his  judgment  that  Arion  is 
the  fastest  horse  he  ever  sat  behind.  Kremlin  appeared  upon 
the  turf  the  latter  part  of  the  season  of  1892,  and  clearly 
demonstrated  the  fact  that  no  horse  had  a  brighter  prospect 
for  championship  honors  than  he.  His  breeding  is  magnifi- 
cent and  his  disposition  for  a  successful  turf  horse  excellent. 
He  is  strongly  made,  absolutely  sound,  and  his  speed  is  phe- 
nomenal as  is  demonstrated  by  his  having  pulled  a  high- 
wheel  sulky  an  eighth  in  14  seconds.  Good  as  he  was  in  1892, 
it  is  but  reasonable  to  look  for  a  marked  improvement  in  1894 
over  his  form  of  1892.  He  is  a  bulldog  of  a  race  horse,  no 
race  too  long  and  no  heats  too  fast  for  him.  A  race  between 
these  three  stallion^,  every  one  of  thsm  in  perfect  condition, 
good  day  and  good  track,  would  be  a  treat  such  as  would 
occur  but  rarely  in  a  man's  lifetime,  and  would  be  well  worth 
going  hundreds  of  miles  to  see,  and  what  a  concourse  of 
spectators  would  gather  to  witness  and  enjoy  it ! 

Which  would  win  it?  In  my  jucsment  an  open  question. 
Any'one  of  the  three  liable  to.  Great  horse  as  is  Directum, 
he  would  have  no  sure  thing  against  these  two  stallions.  Be- 
fore decining  to  bar  Directum  from  the  free-to-all,  let  the 
stewards  of  the  Grand  Circuit  look  at  the  matter  carefully 
and  intelligently,  and  see  if  there  is  not  already  material 
enough  in  the  free-for-all  class  to  give  Directum  a  race. — B.

Notes    From    Dublin. 


"Why  Bar  Directum  ? 

The  question  as  to  whether  or  no  Directum  shall  be  barred 
from  the  free-for-all  classes  in  the  coming  Grand  Circuit  is  be- 
ing agitated  at  the  present  time,  and  it  is  quite  a  hard  nut  for 
the  stewards  to  crack,  it  requiring  a  great  deal  of  thought  in 
order  to  arrive  at  a  proper  solution.  The  black  stallion  cer- 
taiuly  proved  himself  the  superior  of  every  horse  that  ap- 
peared upon  the  trotting  turf  during  the  season  of  1893,  and 
should  he  maintain  his  high  form  aod  his  competitors  not 
improve  theirs,  and  no  fresh  first-class  horse  appear  this  sea- 
son, the  question  would  not  be  difficult  to  answer.  But  will 
it  be  so?  How  many  times  have  we  seen  a  horse  that,  by 
virtue  of  his  great  record  as  a  harness  performer,  seemed  to 
have  every  competitor  at  his  mercy,  and  his  days  as  a  great 
money  winner  virtuallv  ended,suddeoly  eclipsed  by  some  netv 
aspirant  for  the  highest  honor? 

Flora  Temple's  great  record  of  2:19}  was  regarded  at  that 
time  as  simply  unapproachable,and  it  was  stoutly  maintained 


Directum  has  ten  mares  booked  to  him  at  present. 

Electrical  is  beiog  driven  every  day  and  is  improving  in 
speed. 

Vesper  is  moving  along  nicely,  and  is  is  pure  gaited  as 
they  make  them. 

Eleclrina  is  getting  ten  to  twelve  miles  a  day  on  the  roads 
and  is  looking  in  first-class  condition. 

Pat  Carney  is  working  his  brown  colt  by  Abdol — Kansas 
Kate,  and  can  show  us  a  2:30  gait  any  day. 

Red  Fallon  has  a  green  pacer  that  he  drives  occasionally. 
He  says  that  no  one  will  throw  the  dust  in  his  face  this 
year. 

Jack  Wells  can  be  seen  daily  driving  his  four-year-old  filly 
by  Lion  —Kate.  Jack  says  he  will  be  with  some  of  them  on 
the  road. 

Albert  Marsh  is  exercising  his  stallion,  Jim  Blaine,  by 
Redwood — Ada,  by  Ulster  Chief,  daily,  and  he  has  some  very 
fast  rides  behind  him. 

Everybody  who  sees  Directum  this  year  that  had  seen  him 
last  year,  are  surprised  at  the  way  he  hasimproved,  and  some 
of  them  hardly  believe  he  is  the  same  horse. — Direct. 

T.  D.  Wells  has  a  very  good-looking  colt  by  Danger — Grace, 
that  he  has  commenced  breaking  to  harness,  and  from  indi- 
cations he  promises  to  be  a  second  "  Directum." 

Directum  is  beiog  jogged  daily  on  the  roads  from  ten  to 
fifteen  miles  a  day  at  a  good  stiff  jog,  and  given  several  miles 
on  a  quarter-mile  track  twice  a  week  at  a  2:40  gait  in  the 
stretches  for  a  scrape  out.  He  has  filled  out  considerable  and 
is  a  heavier  horse  than  last  year. 

Beltum,  two-year-old  filly  by  Directum — Belle,  by  Bell 
Alta,  is  the  pride  of  the  stable,  and  is  a  natural-born  trotter, 
taking  after  her  sire  in  looks,  actions  and  gait.  She  has 
already  gone  eighths  in  20  seconds  with  six  weeks'  handling. 
All  above  are  owned  by  Jno.  Green. 

Directum  will  be  taken  East  about  the  middle  of  May  by 
his  owner  aod  in  charge  of  "  Bob  "  Murray,  and  will  be  given 
his  track  work  there  preparatory  to  his  races,  if  allowed  to 
start  in  any,  as  he  is  being  barred  in  most  all  the  free-for-alls, 
and  if  not,  be  will  be  sent  exhibition  mill  s  and  if  the  owners 
of  Kremlin,  Hulda,  Arion  or  any  other  fast  ones  think  that 
they  can  beat  him,  they  will  be  accommodated,  or  if  any  one 
thinks  that  any  of  those  can  beat  him  a  race,  thoy  better  save 
up  their  small  change  as  they  will  find  a  place  to  drop  it. 

Notes  By  Hidalgo. 


Mr.  John  Corlett  has  a  good  deal  that  is  interesting  to  say 
about  the  present  Prime  Minister  of  England  in  the  London 
Sporting  Times.  His  first  recollectiou  of  Lord  Rosebery  was 
seeing  "  a  nice,  chubby-looking  boy  sliding  down  the  bannis- 
ters of  the  Rutland  Arms  Hotel,  Newmarket."  Lord  Rose- 
bery in  his  early  days  was  "  a  most  singular  young  man."  Af- 
ter having  been  racing  he  never  joined  any  of  the  card  par- 
ties or  other  amusements  of  those  with  wl»m  he  had  spent 
the  day  on  the  Heath.  "  He  seldom  left  his  room  after  din- 
ner, and  he  devoted  the  remainder  of  the  day  toreadine.  We 
naturally  thought  that  he  was  busily  engaged  *  working  up' 
the  Calendars,  with  a  view  to  the  next  day's  races,  and  we 
must  confess  to  having  fell  a  certain  amount  of  disgust,  when, 
having  occasion  to  visit  his  room,  we  took  up  the  books  he 
had  been  reading,  and  saw  that  one  was  Adam  Smith's 
"Wealth  of  Nations,"  and  'he  other  John  Stuart  Mill  on 
"Political  Ecooomy." 

In  his  early  days  of  racing  Lord  Rosebery  was  decidedly  a 
plunger.  His  appearance  at  the  time  was  boyish  and  inno- 
cent and  his  manner  gentle  and  the  general  impression  was 
that  he  would  not  last  long.  "  The  ring  rushed  at  him  open- 
mouthed  and  seemed  prepared  to  swallow  him.  After  one  or 
two  onslaughts  the  gentlemen  of  the  pencil  began  to  have 
some  respect  for  the  mild  young  nobleman  who  so  quietly 
backed  his  '  three  monkeys  '  and  '  pulled  it  off.'  '  He's  no  flat, 
I  can  tell  you,'  a  betting  m3n  informed  his  partner,  who 
thought  he  had  been  doing  a  good  stroke  of  business  with  his 
lordship."  Lord  Rosebery,  in  fact,  seems  to  have  always  been 
cool  and  calculating  in  his  betting  transactions. 

The  first  horse  .Mr.  Corlett  remembers  his  owning  was  Cap- 
a-Pie.  His  colors  are  "  rose  and  primrose  hoops,"  the  latter 
color  haviog  been  apparently  assumed  to  fit  in  with  hi-  fam- 
ily name.  His  firstfavorite  for  the  Derby,  Ladas,  is  a  direi  t 
descendant  of  Whalebone,  who  won  the  Derby  for  another 
Prime  Minister,  the  Duke  of  Grafton,  in  1810.  Ladas  is  bv 
Hampton,  son  of  Lord  Clifden,  by  Xewrninster,  whose  sire 
was  Touchstone,  by  Omel,  son  of  Whalebone.  Mr.  Corlett 
says:  "  The  Newminster  line  is  generally  considered  deli- 
cate, but  it  is  long-lived.  The  average  age  at  death  of  a  crack 
stud  horse  is  seventeen.  This,  however,  ha^  been  ei 
by  the  ancestors  of  Ladas.  Lord  Clilden  excepted.  Whale- 
bone broke  a  blood  vessel  and  died  in  1831,  nged  twenty  four. 
His  son.  Camel,  wassbot  at  Stockwell  in  1844,  aged  twenty- 
two.  His  grandson,  the  famous  Touchstone,  died  at  Eatoo  in 
1861,  at  the  patriarchal  age  of  thirty.  [Touchstone's  son, 
Newminster, died  in  1868,  at  Rawcliffeat  twenty.  His  son, 
Lord  Clifden,  was  only  fifteen  when  he  died  of  heart  disease 
at  Wad  hurst — a  national  loss.  Hampton,  the  sire  of  Ladas 
is  by  Lord  Clifden,  and,  though  he  was  foaled  as  far  back  as 
1872,  the  old  fellow  is  still  full  of  vigor." 


A  saw  a  fine  lot  of  newly-foaled  co'ts  and  fillies  out  at 
Oneonta  farm,  Mr.  S.  G.  Reed's  new  place,  last  Tuesday.  The 
first  shown  was  Maximilian,  a  blood  bay  colt  eight  weeks  old, 
got  by  the  Australian  stallion  Maxim,  who  won  the  Canter- 
bury cup  of  1SSS  by  forty  lengths,  pulling  up  in  the  fastest 
race  (two  and  a  quarter  miles)  ever  run  south  of  the  Equator, 
except  Dreadnaught's  phenomenal  defeat  of  Melos  and  Sir 
William  at  Melbourne  in  1890.  The  dam  of  this  youngster 
is  The  Squaw,  by  Uncas,  one  of  the  best  sons  of  Stockwell,  so 
that  the  youngster  is  inbred  to  "  the  Emperor  of  Stallions." 
Another  that  greatly  took  my  eye  was  a  Martenhursl  lilly  out 
of  imported  Eyesweet,  by  Galopin,and  one  bv  Midlothian  out 
of  imported  Scotch  Fir,  by  Scottish  Chief.  Mr.  Reed  is 
something  like  the  lamented  Hobart,  who  was  trying  to  breed 
a  two-minute  trotter.  Mr.  Reed  wants  to  win  an  Epsom 
Derby  with  a  California-bred  horse,  and  it's  myself  that  says: 
"  More  power  to  yer  elbow." 

The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  publishes  a  very  reliable 

article  on  Billey  McCrackeo,  a  roadster  stallion  at  one  time 

owned  near  Marysville.     1  saw  several  of  his  get  trained  and 

they  were  always  both  speedy  and  stylish.     I  remember  a 

desperately  contested  race  between  a  son.  Friday  McCracken, 

'  and  a  thoroughbred  horse  called  Henry  Belmont, own  brotlier 

to  Venture,  2:'27>.     Friday  won  the  first  two  heats  in  some- 

|  thing  like  2:44  with  a  dead  heat  following  it.     Henry  Bel- 

i  moot,  the  other  dead  heater,  then  went  on  and  woo  the  next 

■  three  heats  in  2:46  or  thereabouts.     Harry  Barnet  and   my- 

1  self  sold  pools  on  the  race,  on  which  E.  M.  Skaggs  lost  over 

!  ®1, 000,  while  Sam  Poorman  and  Capt.  Bill  Shallcross  each 

I  dropped  a  neat  little  wad.     Creed  Haymond  won  over $1,200 

j  on  the  race,  which  was  not  concluded  till  nearly  dark.     The 

most    remarkable  feature  of  the   race  was  that  the   owners 

I  drove,  all  professional  drivers  being  barred  ;  and  not  one  of 

1  the  six  starters  had  been  worked  over  two  weeks  prior  to  the 

race.  It  was  entirely  a  granger  affair  aod  I  enjoyed  it  hugely 

I  considering  it  was  not  a  fast  race  by  any  means. 

At  that  time  the  fastest  horse  in  the  Slate,  of  native  par- 
1  entage  was  Regulation,  a  hay  gelding  owned  by  Capt.  Ben 
Harris,  of  San  Francisco,  and  2:32  was  the  best  mark  be 
j  could  get  under  the  skillful  pilotage  of  Sum  Whitehead,  who 
l  is  now  a  very  rich  man.  Charley  Monllhrop  brought  down 
a  hi  rse  from  Indian  valley,  a  bit:  gray,  called  Pacific,  and  he 
I  and  Kegulatnr  trotted  the  sensational  race  of  the  year  at  the 
'  Sacramento  Fair. 

At  the  Marysville  fair  the  Siskiyou  horse,  Kirhy  Smith, 
won  a  mile  heat  race  in  1:40.  The  timers  were  Creed  Hay- 
mond. James  Darlev  and  Sam  Daniels,  but  this  was  the  fast- 
est mile  yet  run  in  the  State  I  made  it  1:45},  and  showed  my 
watch  to  A.  S  Smith,  then  editor  of  the  Marysville  Appeal- 
The  Sacramento  Union  copied  the  statement  and  then  sought 
to  cast  discredit  upon  it  by  attacking  (reed  Haymond  and 
myself  personally.  Meeting  one  of  the  publishers  of  that  pa- 
1  per  on  the  street,  I  threatened  io  publish  his  connection  with

The  horsemen  of  Spokane  are  making  an  effort  to  arrange 
for  races  July  2d  to  1th  inclusive. 

The  practice  of  castrating  horses  generally  seems  to  have 
been  first  practiced  in  the  time  of  Henry  VII. 

Capt.  Griffiths  and  Henry  Pierce  have  divided  their  in- 
terests in  the  horses  they  purchased  as  partners. 

DIRECTUM  is  so  fast  that  he  has  scared  most  of  the  associ- 
ations, for  they  are  barring  him  in  a  good  many  free-for- 
alls.  

Elected  Keetq  full  brother  to  Azmoor,  2:20*,  will  be 
trained  this  season  at  Fort  Wayne,  Ind.,  by  H.S.  Van  Als- 
tyne.  

The  next  meeting  of  the  San  Jose  Driving  Club  will  be 
held  on  the  25th  of  this  month,  when  some  lively  races  are 
expected.  

Margaret  S.,4,  2:12i,  by  Director,  has,  so  it  is  reported, 
been  put  to  pacing,  with  some  prospect  of  following  in  Di- 
rects footsteps.  

Wilbur  I-'.  Smith  will  hive  Kehir,  2:281,  ready  for  the

MeMiSNViLLE  Maid,  2:22,  will  not  go  to  California  for 
training,  but  will  be  kept  at  home  and  handled  by  Charley 
Woods,  her  firmer  trainer  and  driver. 


Entries  for  thesummer  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  As- 
sociation will  close  May  1st. 

The  track  in  Oakland  is  in  excellent  condition,  and  the 
number  of  trainers  with  their  horses  is  increasing. 

Nearly  $3,500  was  sent  from  Pleasanton  last  Saturday  in 
payment  of  entries  to  the  Eastern  races.  So  much  for  liberal 
advertising.  

The  Buffalo  Enquirer  is  authority  for  the  news  that  Sam- 
uel Gamble  is  about  to  open  a  public  stable  at  Fleetwood 
Park,  New  York.  

G.  J.  Hakley,  formerly  of  California,  but  now  of  Great 
Neck,  Long  Island,  purchased  the  two  Director  6tallions, 
Salisbury  and  Gymnast  at  the  sale  in  New  York  or  the  30th. 

Ukiah,  L.  L.  Campbell's  Anteeo  stallion,  will  be  given 
work  at  the  Oakland  track  preparatory  to  sending  him  through 
the  California  circuit.  Ukiah  is  out  of  Miss  Brown,  by  Vol- 
unteer.   

Elaine,  2:20,  the  great  Palo  Alto  broodmare,  dropped  a 
bay  filly  by  Azmoor,  2:20*  (son  of  Electioneer  and  Mamie 
G,  by  imp.  Hercules)  last  week.  It  is  a  grandly  formed 
youngster.  

Sidney's  first  foal  io  Michigan  was  dropped  at  the  Simmo 
colon  Stock  Farm,  Ypsilanti,  Mich.,  last  Thursday.  It  is  a 
bay  filly  out  of  Louise  Cary  by  Red  Wilkes,  out  of  a  sister  of 
Junemont,  2:14.  ■ 

The  idea  of  giving  §1,000  lor  all  races  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H. 
B.  Association  is  a  splendid  one  for  the  trotting  and  pacing 
horsemen  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  large  lists  of  entries 
shoule  be  received  by  the  Secretary. 

Inex,  by  Dexler  Prince,  out  of  a  mare  by  Abbottsford,  got 
a  record  of  2:30  in  a  race  against  Hayes  Valley  Jack  last 
Saturday,  April  7th,  at  the  Oakland  Trotting  Park.  This  is 
the  first  one  of  the  year  in  California. 

Sallie  Benton,  2:17'},  by  Gen.  Benton,  out  of  Sonlag 
Mohawk,  foaled  a  gray  filly  last  weet  by  Advertiser,  2:15}. 
It  is  a  full  sister  to  the  brown  filly  Nordica  that  was  foaled  in 
1892,  and  is  a  peacock-looking  youngster. 

The  Southern  circuit  will  commence  this  year  at  Santa 
Barbara,  September  17th  to  22d  ;  Hueneme,  September  24th 
to  2lUh,  San  Diego,  October  1st  to  6ih,  and  October  8th  to 
13th,  and  Los  Angeles,  October  15th  to  20th. 


James  Sutherland  has  a  horse  at  his  farm  near 
Pleasanton  that  weighs  1,400  pounds, is  eighteen  hands  high, 
and  can  step  a  quarter  at  any  time  in  0:40. 

Wilfred  Page  has  a  colt  by  EjlecLic,  out  of  a  mare  by 
Dexter  Prince;  second  dam  by  Nutwood,  that  is  a  trotter. 
From  his  breeding  he  should  be  a  game  campaigner. 

Mrs.  John  Clay,  widow  of  the  famous  Kentucky  stock 
breeder  and  a  noted  horsewoman,  left  in  her  will  provision 
for  the  care  of  every  superannuated  animal  on  the  farm. 

John  A.  McKeaBON.  the  great  California  horse-boot 
ru  inula -hirer,  was  the  recipient  of  an  order  calling  for 
$2,000  worth  of  boots,  harness  and  clothing  from  Austria 
last  week.  

Campbell's  Electioneer  weighed  1,325  pounds  when  he 
took  his  record  of  2:17$.  He  raced  two  years  and  was  never 
beaten  but  once,  and  that  was  by  the  incomparable  Nancy 
Hanks,  2:04.  

Bon  Bon,  2:26,  bv  Simmons,  will  be  seen  on  the  circuit 
this  year,  the  is  showing  the  boys  at  Pleasanton  that  she 
has  not  forgotten  the  way  to  trot.  Capt.  Griffiths  is  very 
proud  of  her.  

A  fellow  down  in  Kentucky  wants  Malcolm  Forbes  to 
name  Nancy's  first  foal  Madeline  Pollard  or  Col.  Brecken- 
ridge.  If  it  should  be  anything  like  tbe  originals,  it  would 
be  fast  eoough.  

POLO  has  develoned  a  power  heretofore  neglected  in  ponies 
— that  of  quickly  turning.  Formally  a  man  could  turn  more 
quickly  than  an  equine,  but  now  ponies  can  compete  with 
men  in  this  respect. 

QjCOBGE  Fox  of  Angels  is  working  a  fine  string  of  horses 
at  the  Lodi  track.  He  is  a  great  believer  in  the  section  of 
country  around  Lodi,  and  receutly  purchased  the  Grant 
Brothers  properly  at  Clements. 

The  picing  mare,  Maud,  2:20  (dam  of  To  Order,  2:1 2 J, 
and  Boswell  Jr.,  2:19),  dropped  a  fine  bay  filly  last  Monday. 
Its  sire  is  Dawn,  2:18}.  Harry  Agnew  says  it  is  the  hand- 
somest one  the  little  queen  has  had. 

"  Had  the  Duke  of  Westminster  gone  into  his  picture  gal- 
lery and  sold  his  ancestors  (sic)  he  could  not  have  been  more 
roundly  abused  than  he  was  for  selling  Ormonde/'says  James 
Sinclair's  volume  on  "  Light  Horses." 

THE  man  who  starts  out  with  a  big  string  of  horses  this 
year  will  find  it  full  of  knots  long  before  the  close  of  the  cir- 
cuit. These  knots  will  appear  in  the  summaries  as  :  Purse 
$ ,  name  of  horse .     Knot  in  it. 

DuBon  brothers  have  a  two-year-old  colt  called  Colonel 
f  larbonate,  by  Superior,  which  p  iced  a  quarter  the  other  day 
in  thirty-four  seconds.  This  is  a  pretty  good  gait  for  a  colt 
which  has  only  been  broken  to  harness  six  weeks. 

The  new  order  of  the  day  is  setting  hick  from  the  pole 
the  marking  posts  of  fractions  of  the  mile  far  enough  so  as 
not  to  show  a  shadow,  as  many  of  the  fast  trotters  and  pacers 
have  jumped  them.     Let  all  associations  adopt  this. 

Ha  BUY  A.GKEW  has  a  large  number  of  two-year-olds  by 
Dawn,  2:18),  that  he  will  have  trained  especially  for  road 
use.  No  handsomeror  better  matched  roadsters  will  be  found 
in  California  lhau  they.  Solid  chestnuts  and  bays  are  the 
prevailing  i  

Draft  tors  William  Palm  tag  and  William  Kelly  of  the 
San  Benito  Agricultural  Association,  have  been  appointed  a 
committee  ;  :  'epars  the  premium  lint  for  the  fall  fair  of  the 
Association,  and  Directors  Fallon  and  McCloskey  will  pre- 
pare the  speed  programme. — Free  Lance. 


I.  C.  Moshek  left  on  the  steamer  Columbia  with  S.  G. 
Reed's  wonderful  filly  Ad  Alene,  two-year-old  record  2:26,  to 
deliver  her  over  to  Monroe  Salisbury,  at  Pleasanton.  She 
will  go  EiSt  this  season.  We  hope  and  expect  to  see  her 
crown  herself  with  glory  in  the  three-year-old  classes,  thereby 
adding  another  one  to  Oregon's  fame. — Rural  Spirit. 

"  Old  Dau  Tucker  bought  him  a  pacer, 
Built  him  a  tire  and  swore  he'd  a  racer— 
'The  fastes'  hoss  that's  faced  a  facer  !' 
He  borrowed  a  pipe  and  a  piece  of  tobac 
Hoisted  his  coat-tail  and— sat  on  a  tack  ! 
The  boys  now  declare  that  in  leaving  there 
He  broke  the  record  around  that  chair  !" 


The  brown  stallion,  DeWayne,  2:30,  by  Director,  2:17], 
out  of  Lottie  Prall,  2:28 J,  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  is  in  the 
string  of  Gil.  Curry,  at  Spring  Hill,  Tenn.  DeWayne  got 
his  record  in  the  third  heat  of  the  2:50  class  won  by  him  at 
the  Virginia  State  Fair  meeting  last  fall.  He  is  owned  by 
Mr.  Samuel  N.  Warren,  Clover  Wood,  Spring  Hill,  Tenn., 
and  will  be  trained  for  a  fast  record  this  season,  which  he  is 
capable  of  taking. 

Millard  F.  Sanders  is  doing  excellently  with  the  young 
Steinways  and  Derbys  at  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock  Farm. 
The  track  was  not  in  first-class  condition  until  the  20th  of 
March.  He  is  not  rushing  the  youngsters  and  when  the  time 
comes  he  will  have  some  good  ones.  The  full  brother  to 
Diablo,  which  is  called  Ed  Laflerty,  is  a  bay  in  color,  and  is 
one  of  the  speediest  pacers  for  its  age  in  the  United  States, 
but  he  will  not  be  allowed  to  kill  himself  in  Sander's  hands. 


Raymond's  Klamath  and  Morris'  Jingler  are  both  doing 
strong  work  at  the  Santa  Ana  track  now.  Both  horses  will 
be  taken  East  to  Denver  in  about  three  weeks,  and  Klamath 
may  go  on  to  New  York  for  the  Fleetwood  meeting. 

D.  G.  Bricker,  an  extensive  horseman  of  Butte,  Moot., 
has  leased  More  Park  Stock  Farm,  near  Terre  Haute.  Last 
year  More  Park  was  used  by  the  Budd  Doble  stables.  Bricker 
has  already  placed  a  string  of  twelve  flyers  at  the  farm, 

Iowa  has  the  cinch  on  the  m  le  track  business  for  she  has 
over  twenty  first-class  mile  tracks,  and  a  half  mile  track  in 
each  of  the  remaining  100  county  seats  aud  numerous  others 
scattered  elsewhere  through  the  dtflerent  counties. — Iowa 
Turf.  

The  dam  of  Rty  Wilkes  was  truly  a  great  mare.  She  is 
not  only  the  dam  of  the  great  Roy  Wilkes,  2:06i,  and 
Wealthy,  2:27],  but  Floretta,  another  full  sister  to  Roy 
Wilkes,  was  second  in  a  race  last  year  at  Rochester,  Minn., 
in  2:20] . 

Geo.  McA.,  by  Stetnway.  2:25$,  out  of  Bertha  (dam  of 
Diablo,  2:09 ',-),  will  be  seen  in  the  races  this  fall.  He  is  like, 
his  illustrious  half-brother,  double-gaited,  and  his  owner,  B. 
D.  Phillips,  says  he  will  give  him  records  at  both  pacing  and 
trotting. 

Tom  Keating  is  now  working  as  fine  a  string  of  horses  at 
the  Lodi  track  as  will  be  found  in  the  State,  and  he  has  good 
reason  to  be  proud  of  them.  Among  them  are  the  well-known 
trotters,  Ottinger  and  Aster,  and  all  are  in  the  very  pink  of 
condition. 

Pkof.  E.  P.  Heald's  black  Whippleton  mare.  Irene, 
2:26,  dropped  a  beautiful  bay  filly  last  week;  it  was  by  El 
Benton,  2:2SJ,  and  yesterday  the  matron  with  her  young  trot- 
ter was  shipped  to  Pleasanton  where  she  will  be  bred  to 
Direct,  2:05J.  

Peter  C.  Kellogg  &  Go's  seventeenth  annual  combina- 
tion sale,  which  closed  last  Friday,  will,  in  all  probability,  be 
the  last  in  the  American  Institute  Building  on  third  avenue, 
as  the  lease  expires  this  spring  and  signs  are  up  on  the  build- 
ings advertising  the  lots  to  lease. 

A  remarkable  event  occurred  at  Maplehurst  Farm, Lan- 
caster, Mass.,  a  few  days  ago.  Silverone,  2:19|,  by  Alcyone, 
was  bred  last  summer,  but  has  come  in  season  regularly  siuce 
January.  She  was  mated  with  Ralph  Wilkes.  March  24th 
and  on  the  27th  dropped  a  dead  foal. 

The  programme  of  the  summer  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H. 
B.  Association  appears  in  this  issue  for  the  first  time.  No 
sum  less  than  $1,000  will  be  given  for  the  various  events. 
Everyone  who  has  a  trotter  or  pacer  should  not  forget  that 
entries  for  this  splendid  meeting  will  close  May  let. 

C.  Z.  Hebert  lost  last  week  one  of  the  most  promising 
yearling  colts  ever  seen  in  the  valley.  It  was  by  Brown  Jug, 
dam  Patchen  May,  by  George  M.  Patchen  Jr.  31.  The  colt 
was  found  lying  in  tbe  stall  and  died  in  a  few  minutes  after 
being  discovered.  The  youngster  probably  reared  up  and 
fractured  its  skull  in  the  fall. — Salinas  Journal. 


Jackson  (.'ask does  all  his  own  training.  McHenry  once 
said  to  him,  "  Why  don's  you  hire  a  teamster,  Jacksoo,  and 
let  him  get  the  money  with  those  horses.  You  are  knocking 
them  all  out  ?"  "  Thedifierenoe  between  you  and  me.  Mack," 
replied  Case,  "is  that  you  knock 'em  out,  and  some  other 
fellow  has  to  settle,  while  I  pay  for  the  horses  and  can  knock 
'em  out  myself." 

<  >ne  of  the  fastest  yearliugs  at  J.  H.  ShuUs'  farm  is  Lang- 
ford,  by  Siambonl,  out  of  Lillian  Wilkes,  2:17$.  The  Shults 
Farm  will  have  a  strong  stable  out  thin  year,  and  after  com- 
ing down  the  Grand  Circuit  at  Rochester,  will  go  to  Fort 
Wayne  and  take  in  the  Western  meetings,  where  there  are 
more  classes  for  young  pacers  than  there  are  to  be  found  on 
Eastern  tracks. 


C.  W.  Williams  surveyed  his  new  race  track  at  Gales- 
burg,  111.,  last  Thursday,  and  arranged  for  building  a  grand 
stand  with  a  seating  capacity  of  5,000  and  with  stables  for  200 
horses.  He  announces  a  district  fair  for  September  17  to  22, 
with  fifteen  stakes  of  $1,000  each,  to  be  closed  May  1.  Large 
purses  for  special  attractions  will  be  offered.  The  track  will 
be  a  regulation  one.  Williams  says  that  owing  to  the  lay  of 
the  land  and  the  nature  of  the  soil  this  will  be  one  of  the 
fastest  courses  in  the  country. 

The  Burlingame  Club  will  move  into  its  new  house  next 
week,  and  make  all  preparations  for  summer  sport.  The  club's 
stables  have  now  accommodations  for  sixty  ponies,  and  great 
doings  are  expected  on  the  polo  field.  The  golf  links  will  be 
laid  out,  and  if  the  gentlemen  decide  upon  wearing  the  red 
coat  which  is  the  uniform  of  golf  players  in  the  old  country, 
and  if  the  ladies  don  the  crimson  jackets,  the  green  hills  of 
San  Mateo  county  will  present  a  picturesque  appearance  dur- 
ing the  progress  of  the  game. — San  Mateo  Journal. 

Amoxg  the  incipient  pacing  sensations  of  1S94  is  a  gray 
California  gelding,  six  years  old,  by  Alonzo  Hayward.  He 
was  sold  last  year  by  the  Pierce  Farm,  near  Santa  Rosa,  to  a 
Los  Angeles  agent  of  the  Auheuser  Brewing  Co.,  of  St.  Louis, 
for  $125.  The  discovery  that  he  could  pace  fast  was 
soon  made  and  it  was  not  long  before  the  owner  of  the  Iowa 
pacer  Blue  Sign,  2:08 ',,  bought  him  for  5600.  Walter  Maben 
has  been  working  him  and  it  is  stated  that  he  can  show  2:12 


While  exercising  his  Re-elect  colt  at  the  track  Thursday 
morning,  George  Stortz  got  off  the  sulky  to  fix  his  horse's 
boot.  Just  as  he  had  completed  what  he  was  about,  McLach- 
lan's  sulky  passed  and  scared  George's  colt.  In  a  moment 
the  youngster  was  tearing  around  the  track  and  through  the 
stalls  and  slables  as  tbough  he  thought  he  was  on  tbe  track 
for  a  race  of  his  life.  Before  he  could  be  captured  he  had 
torn  the  sulky  to  pieces  and  badly  cut  his  leg,  although  the 
cut  is  not  sufficient  to  make  a  permanent  injury.  Luckily 
the  occupant  of  the  sulky  escaped  unhurt. — Valley  Review, 
Lodi.  

ATOgden,  Utah,  the  horsemen  are  in  hopes  of  a  successful 
1894  campaign.  Some  of  the  well-known  horse  owners  are 
John  D.  Murphy,  owner  of  the  bay  mare  Iris ;  Joe  Carlson, 
owner  of  the  bay  stallion  Mambrino  Trix  ;  B.  L.  Thomas, 
owner  Jof  one  of  the  best  two-year-olds  in  the  country  in 
Schenck,  and  Dr.  Conroy,  owner  of  a  bay  pacing  mare  that  is 
fast.  Win.  Graham  has  Charlie  A.,  a  bay  gelding  that  can 
go  some,  and  R.  J.Taylor,  Frank  Parker,  Neal  Richardson, 
L.  B.  Adams,  Ed.  Nye,  and  Nelson  &  Tell  are  taking  a  con- 
spicuous interest  in  the  light  harness  horse. 

Bowerman  Bros.,  that  well-known  firm  of  breeders  and 
developers,  who  gave  Moquette,  2:10,  the  champion  four- 
year-old  stallion,  and  Silicon,  2:15|,  the  champion  two-year- 
old  filly,  to  the  turf,  will  spring  another  phenomenon  on  the 
turf  this  year.  This  wonder  is  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Wil- 
ton and  bred  like  Silicon  on  the  dam's  side.  In  fact,  she  is  a 
sister  in  blood  to  that  filly.  As  a  yearling  the  youngster 
worked  a  mile  in  2:28$,  and  but  for  the  fact  that  there  was 
more  money  starting  her  as  a  two-year-old,  the  Bowermans 
would  have  swept  the  yearling  stakes  in  last  year.  As  it  is, 
they  have  entered  her  in  every  two-year-old  event  of  import- 
ance, and  as  she  is  being  prepared  early,  she  stands  a  good 
chance  of  being  the  champion  of  her  age  on  this  season's 
turf.  

L.  O.  Turner  has  the  following  California-bred  horses  in 
training  at  Joliet,  111.:  Bg  William  Tell,  bv  Cornelius,  son

Foit  good  results,  do  not  by  any  means  place  your  horses  in 
a  trainer's  hands  that  has  more  to  do  than  he  can  look  after, 
for  if  you  do  the  poorest  swipe  he  has  will  do  all  the  training, 
and  that  means  your  horse  had  better  stay  in  the  barn,  for  no 
handling  is  much  better  than  what  he  would  get  at  the  hands 
of  a  knowing,  blowiug  boy  of  that  kind.  Pay  a  good  man, 
one  that  will  not  take  more  than  he  can  do,  twice  the  amount 
the  oth^r  asks,  and  you  will  always  get  good  interest  on  your 
money  invested.  A  trainer  overworked  is  in  no  better  shape 
to  manage  or  gait  a  colt,  or  drive  an  aged  horse  for  that  mat- 
ter, than  an  overworked  engineer  is  fit  to  do  duty  at  his  post, 
for  a  man  to  be  successful  must  at  all  times  have  his  wits 
about  him,  and  especially  so  in  handling  horses  successfully 
therefore  hire  none  but  the  best.  Good  men  make  gooi' 
swipes,  who  in  time  make  good  drivers.

The  good  611ies,  Thelma  and  Amida,  have  been  sent  home 
to  Lawrence  Station.    They  will  be  bred. 

It  appears  that  Xag'.ee  Burk  will  race  his  youngsters  here 
io  the  stakes  after  all  before  sending  his  string  to  Chicago. 

Claire  has  been  sold  bv  C.  L.  Don  to  Montana  parties; 
consideration  private.  The  filly  is  by  Duke  of  Norfolk,  dam 
Lakme.  

Purser,  the  plunger,  is  credited  with  winning  $5,000  on 
the  victory  of  North  in  the  last  race.  Odd  of  10  to  1  were 
secured.  

Wyatt  Earp's  string  will  oe  increased  by  the  addition  of 
several  two-year-olds,  which  are  on  the  way  from  Southern 
California.  _ 

Cassin  had  sis  mounts  at  New  Orleans  on  the  4th  inst., 
and  piloted  no  less  than  five  to  victory.  This  is  a  truly  won- 
derful record.  

The  Senate  has  passed  a  bill  permitting  horse  racing  in 
the  District  of  Columbia,  but  prohibiting  pool-selling  and 
book-making.  

Orville  Appleby,  the  well-known,  popular  trainer,  has 
taken  charge  of  the  Owen  Bros.'  stable  temporarily,  owing  to 
George  Howson  being  ruled  ofi. 

Leonard  Smith,  a  groom  working  for  T.  W.  Moore, 
died  of  congestion  of  the  brain  at  Bay  District  track  last 
week,  and  was  buried  on  Saturday. 

Jim  Neal  purchased  Mooowai  last  Saturday.  He  did  not 
pay  any  $10,000  for  the  three-year-old  disappointment  of 
1893,  but  the  sum  was  nearer  $1,200. 

Jumping  races  would  be  a  great  attraction  on  the  Montana 
circuit  this  season,  if  given.  A  number  of  "  leppers  "  at  the 
local  course  would  probably  be  sent  up. 


McGrathiana  Stud  received  a  royal  welcome  the  other 
day,  Marguerite,  tbenoted  daughter  of  Eclipse,  foaling  a  fine 
colt  by  imp.  Woodlands.  Marguerite  is  the  dam  of  Rupert, 
Ruperta  and  El  Telegrafo,  the  winner  of  the  World's  Fair 
stakes  at  Washington  Park  last  year. 

The  Albert  Moody  that  was  fatally  injured  at  Madison 
race  track,  near  St.  Louis,  last  Friday,  was  foi  merly  employed 
by  Orville  Appleby  as  a  jockey.  About  two  years  ago  he  was 
ruled  ofi' for  life  for  assaulting  Capt.  Hobbs,  the  starter,  at 
Eureka,  Cal.  Afterward  he  left  with  G.  C.  Owens,  owner  of 
Vinco  and  Echo,  for  the  East. 

Thomas  W.  Moore,  of  Santa  Barbara,  owner  of  the  great 
Surinam,  arrived  Thursday,  and  reports  that  his  horses  on 
Hope  Glen  Farm,  about  forty  in  number,  are  doing  well. 
They  are  equally  divided  between  thoroughbreds  and  trotters. 
He  has  paid  good  prices  for  his  animals,  and  the  stock  off  his 
place  should  soon  make  it  celebrated. 

Mrs.  R.  E.  Bybee  has  Misiv  Morn,  Rosy  Morn,  Rosebud, 
Saint  PauU  (brother  to  Rosebud)  and  Oregon  Raindrop  in 
charge  of  J.  W.  Paine  and  Matt  White.  These  celebrities 
will  be  raced  at  the  Portland  spring  meeting,  and  will  later 
be  taken  to  Montana.  Mr.  Paine  calltd  on  us  on  Tuesday,  and 
is  a  very  pleasant  gentleman. 

The  Kendall  Stable's  mare  Yo  Tambien  has  been  backed 
to  the  full  limit  of  the  Eastern  future  books  by  Western 
money.  The  last  bets  recorded  were  $1,500  to  $5U0  in  Leo 
Swatt's  book  and  $1,500  to  $500  in  Peter  Downey's  book. 
The  mare  is  being  prepared  in  Tennessee  and  the  support  she 
has  received  seeminglv  comes  from  her  stable. 


The  holding  of  the  fair  at  Colusa  will  not  in  any  way 
affect  the  fall  races  here.  They  will  be  run  on  the  Woodland 
track  the  same  as  last  year,  and  the  attraction  will  be  even 
greater  than  at  that  time.  The  only  difference  will  be  that 
Woodland  will  have  no  pavilion  and  will  not  receive  $2000 
from  the  State  for  agricultural  awards  — Woodland  Mail. 


Jockey  Wash.  King,  suspended  at  Woodland  last  fall  for 
pulling  Inkerman,  was  reinstated  last  Saturday.  Tuesday 
he  rode  Venus  in  second  in  the  first  race. 

Eastern  tiainers  are  seadiog  iheir  charges  along  much 
faster  than  their  fellows  io  the  West.  Hardy  Campbell  has 
several  of  the  Dwyer  cracks  very  near  a  race. 

Porter  Ashe  is  sojourning  down  in  St.  Louis  with  Jim 
Corbett  Ashe  will  have  a  string  of  horses  including  Ger- 
aldine  at  the  Fair  Grounds  meeting  if  any  is  given. 

The  grand  Argyle  filly  Wandering  Nun  came  very  near 
bein"  ruined  the  other  day.  She  ran  a  piece  of  plate  into  one 
of  her  hind  feet,  bjt  is  now  getting;  along  very  well. 

Azra,  one  of  the  best  theee-year-olds  of  bis  year,  after  a 
year  in  the  stud  will  be  trained  again  this  season.  Azra  is 
by  Reform,  out  of  Albia,  and  a  horse  of  high  quality. 

Buckra,  tbe  horse  that  died  recently  near  Lexiogton, 
Ky.  was  destined  to  be  a  great  sire.  His  sons  and  daughters 
have  won  some  excellent  races  at  New  Orleans  this  season. 

Mezzotint,  the  Cheviot-Daisy  S.  filly  formerly  owned  by 
Dan  McCarty,  woo  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth  race  at  New  Or- 
lians  yesterday,  and  Jim  Lee  ran  third  in  a  five-furlong  dash. 

Matt  Storn  and  Pat  Meaoey  left  Thursday  for  Saratoga, 
the  former  with  a  couple  of  youngsters,  the  laiter  witb  Bal- 
larat  and  San  Jose.  W.  C.  Bishop  will  also  take  Red  Cloud 
along.  

L.  E.  Richtkr  of  Susanville,  Lassen  County,  has  the  stal- 
lion Snuff  Box,  by  Ballot  Box,  and  this  year  tbe  old  horse, 
although  seventeen  years  of  age,  will  appear  in  the  races 
there.  

Mrs.  Bilkins — "  What  happeoed  to  Lot  when  she  looked 
back  toward  the  city  of  Sodom  ?"  Mr.  Bilkins—*'  The  same 
thins  that  ought  to  happen  to  every  rider  who  looks  back  in 
a  race."  

Ballston,  by  Billet,  out  of  Villette,  once  a  eood  perfor- 
mer in  the  Dwyer  string,  and  later  owned  by  "  Father  "  Bill 
Dalv,  has  been  retired  to  the  head  of  W.  G.  Armstrong's  stud 
at  Montgomery  Square,  Pa. 

Riley  Grannan,  the  young  plunger,  has  gone  to  Mem- 
phis, Tenn.  Although  be  was  some  $23,000  loser  at  one  time, 
he  quit  $18,000  to  tbe  good  on  the  meeting.  These  figures 
he  gave  to  an  intimate  friend  here. 

A.  Gonzales  has  purchased  W.  W.  Murry's  interest  in 
that  grand  colt,  Rey  Alfonso,  son  of  Prince  of  Norfolk  and 
Havdee,  by  King  Alfonso.  Murry  now  owoes  Terranova, 
formerly  owned  jointly  by  Messrs.  Gonzales  and  Murry. 


Jo-Jo,  the  French  Canadian  jumper  now  being  trained  at 
St.  Louis  fair  grounds  by  George  Wentworth  for  the  500 
sovereigns  Civil  Service  Cup,  which  will  be  decided  in  India 
next  fall,  looks  like  a  Texas  mustang  pony.  He  is  a  light 
brownish  chestnut,  with  white  hind  stockings,  and,  although 
very  small,  he  goes  over  the  sticks  like  Tennessee. 

That  much-talked  of  Brooklyn  candidate,  St.  Leonards,  is, 
I  learn,  undoubtedly  touched  in  his  wind.  He  whistles  while 
be  gallops,  and  with  rare  good  will,  too.  While  "  roarers" 
can  negotiate  short  courses  successfully,  as  Prince  Charlie 
and  others  have  demonstrated,a  mile  and  a  quarter  is  a  pretty 
hard  task  to  set  them. — "Roundabout"  in  N.  Y.  Sporting

A  number  of  horsemen  were  up  to  the  Merriwa  Stock 
Farm  (formerly  Valensin's)  near  Pleasanton  Tuesday,  and 
the  account  they  give  of  the  splendid  pasture  fields  there  are 
marvelous.  They  declare  they  never  saw  such  a  crop  of  rye 
grass  and  alfalfa  on  any  piece  of  land  in  California.  R.  E.  deB. 
Lopez,  tbe  owner,  is  ready  to  take  horses  to  pasture  at  a  low 
figure,  considering  the  excellence  of  the  feed  and  splendid 
accommodations.  There  are  thirteen  fields  in  all  and  forty- 
two  roomy  box  stalls. 

Mr.  J.  R.  Keene's  colt,  Chorister,  by  Falsetto,  dam  Addie 
C,  arrived  in  Lexington,  last  Monday,  and  was  taken  out  to 
Mr.  Keene's  -stock  farm,  where  he  will  be  put  in  the  stud. 
Chorister  is  a  splendid-looking  animal,  and  but  for  defective 
legs  would  have  been  a  great  race  horse.  He  won  the  Sea 
and  Sound  Stakes  last  year,  in  the  fast  time  of  1:39^  for  the 
mile.  He  started  in  the  American  Derby,  but  the  long  de- 
lay at  the  post  killed  all  the  chance  he  had  of  winning. —

The  noted  English  mare  Dutch  Oven  is  dead.  At  the 
sale  of  Lord  Falmouth's  breeding  establishment,  ten  years 
ago,  Lord  Fitzwilliam  bought  her  for  $16,000,  but  no  great 
success  marked  her  stud  career.  As  a  two-year-old  she  won 
for  Lord  Falmouth  nine  races  in  twelve  starts.  She  went 
amiss  during  the  spring  of  1882,  and  failed  to  finish  in  the 
first  flight  for  the  Derby,  but  later  in  the  season  won  tbe 
Yorkshire  Oaks,  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  (startingat  40  to  1), 
and  the  Great  Foal  Stakes  and  Triennial  Produce  Stakes  at 
Newmarket.  As  a  four-year-old  she  won  three  races  and  was 
then  sent  to  the  stud. 

President  George  V.  Hankins,  of  the  Roby  Associa- 
tion, has  given  orders  for  boxes  similar  to  those  used  in  the 
police  patrol  system  erected  at  various  positions  about  the 
track  at  each  quarter  pole.  They  will  be  provided  with 
telephones  connecting  with  an  instrument  in  the  judges' 
stand.  Watches  will  be  placed  in  each  patrol  box  to  care- 
fully note  the  running  of  each  horse  and  the  actions  of  each 
jockey,  and  will  be  provided  witb  powerful  field  glasses,  so 
that  no  movement  of  the  field  will  escape  their  attention. 
Immediately  upon  the  conclusion  of  the  races  and  before  the 
numbers  are  displayed,  the  judges  will  receive  the  telephonic 
reports  of  the  watches  and  govern  themselves  accordingly. 
Roby  will  be  tbe  first  track  thus  equipped. 


J.  J.  Grant,  racing  manager  for  Mr.  Theodore  Winters, 
whose  horses  are  wioteringat  Duquoin,  111.,  recently  stated  in 
an  interview  that  Mr.  Winters'  two-year-old  colt  out  of  Ma- 
rion, Rey  del  Sierras,  is  as  big  and  fully  developed  as  an  aged 
horse.  Mr.  Grant  says  he  will  weigh  between  1,100  and 
1,200  pounds,  and  is  almost  an  exact  image  of  his  half- 
brother,  El  Rio  Rey,  having  tbe  same  bald  face  and  four 
white  stockings.  Rey  del  Sierras  in  entered  in  the  rich  East- 
ern stakes,  including  ihe  Futurity.  He  will  not  be  hurried  in 
his  preparation,  and  will  probably  not  be  brought  East  until 
after  the  Washington  Park  meeting. 

Tom  Owens,  of  Fresno,  the  owner  of  Royal  Flush,  is  satis- 
fied that  his  trainer,  George  Howson,  was  not  to  blame  for  the 
loss  of  lead  off  Isom.  He  thinks,  like  almost  every  horseman 
at  the  track,  that  it  was  the  result  of  an  accident  and  liable 
to  have  happened  to  the  most  experienced  trainer.  Besides 
this.^the  horseswere  at  tbe  post  about  thirty  ojinutesand  made 
several  breakaways;  otherwise  Isom  would  in  all  probability 
not  have  lost  his  lead.  "  Howson  has  worked  three  years  for 
me,"  said  Mr.  Owens  to  a  Chronicle  reporter  ve^terday,  "and 
I  know  him  to  be  thoroughly  honest.  Besides,  1  would  be 
the  last  man  in  the  world  that  Howson  would  attemnt  to  give 
the  double  cross.  I  run  my  horses  to  win,  and  I  want  How- 
son to  train  them ;  otherwise  I  will  send  them  back  to 
Fresno."  It  looks  as  if  tbe  punishment  meted  out  to  How- 
son is  too  severe  considering  the  facts  surrounding  the  case. 
This  is  the  opinion  expressed  by  every  horseman.  There  are 
no  exceptions,  especially  among  those  who  have  known  How- 
son for  years. 

P.  K. — Can  you  please  tell  me  what  a  legal  turf  adviser  is? 
Answer. — He  is  a  plain,  simple  ordinary  tout  who  watches 
the  public  and  picks  out  suckers  to  play  the  sure  thing  lips 
be  gives  them.  These  lips  are  picked  from  the  program  me. 
If  there  are  five  horses  in  a  race  he  divides  their  names 
equally  among  his  clients  (victims),  sod  as  one  is  sure  to  win, 
he  swoops  down  on  the  lucky  one,  collects  the  amount  called 
for  on  the  pool  ticket  and  gets  his  dividend.  The  other  four 
who  were  holding  their  tickets  are  confidentially  told  that 
the  horses  they  had  were  "  ofi" "  or  they  "  got  a  bad  start,"  or 
"the  jockey  pulled  tbem  ;"  but  the  tout,  the  innocent  legal 
turf  adviser,  consoles  them  with  the  remark,  "Well,  we'll 
have  better  luck  next  time.  You  can't  always  depend  on 
the  trainers;  you  see  they  gives  me  the  straight  tips,  but  their 
horses  fool  'em  sometimes.  The  next  lime  you  come  out  I'll 
have  something  good  and  you  can  win  a  barrel  of  money.  I 
am  on  to  all  the  games  out  here,  for  I  stays  here  all  the  time. 
Good  day  !  Be  sure  to  come  out  next  Wednesday.  I  think  a 
good  thing  will  be  uncorked  that  day,  and  you  can  make  a 
killing  if  you  do  as  I  tell  you,  sure !" 

The  ruling  off  of  the  veteran  horseman,  George  Howson, 
was  the  topic  of  topics  among  the  race-goers  and  trainers  yes- 
terday, and  the  concensus  of  opinion  was  that  the  punishment 
meted  out  was  quite  too  severe,in  view  of  the  excellent  reputa- 
tion for  honesty  always  possessed  by  Howson.  Almost  without 
exception  the  loss  of  the  weight  on  Royal  Flush  is  laid  at 
the  door  of  carelessness,  and  no  one  knowing  the  veteran 
would  for  a  moment  think  that  the  saddle  was  left  in  a  posi- 
tion so  that  the  weight  would  all  be  lost  with  a  view  to  get- 
ting disqualified.  One  trainer  explained  yesterday  that  horses 
of  Royal  Flush's  build  are  very  deceptive.  He  is  what  might 
be  termed  a  "  pot-bellied  "  horse,  and  there  is  always  danger 
of  the  saddle  slipping  on  such  a  one.  Horses  like  this  will 
puff  themselves  out,  and  horsemeu  will  pull  hard,  thinking 
they  have  the  horse  cinched  up  all  right,  but  find  themselves 
mistaken  wheo  the  animal  is  in  his  normal  state.  Howson 
has  been  before  the  public  for  over  thirty  years,  and  in  a 
position  scores  of  times  to  make  immense  sums  if  he  had  been 
a  dishonest  man,  but  he  was  always  regarded  as  above 
reproach.  A  fine  of  $250  on  both  Howson  and  the  rubber 
would  have  been  regarded  as  sufficient  punishment. 

That  sable  wizard  of  the  track,  Albert  Cooper,  took  a  day 
ofi  on  Saturday  and  a  run  up  to  town  at  the  same  time.  He 
says  that  his  own  horses  as  well  as  the  others  at  Sheepshead 
are  doing  well,  and  quite  a  number  are  getting  ready  for 
Washington,  if  there  is  a  meeting  there.  Since  he  sold 
Hyderabad  to  J.  R.  Keene  for  515,000,  Cooper  has  not  had 
the  greatest  of  success,  although  Aurelian  proved  to  be  a 
handy  sort  of  a  two-year-old,  and  may  be  a  better  ihree- 
year-old.  Every  time  I  see  Cooper  I  think  of  his  famous  tilt 
with  Lucky  Baldwin  on  a  question  of  money  due.  It  was 
November,  of  a  vear  in  the  eighties,  and  Cooper  had  asked 
E.  J.  B.  for  a  settlement.  Baldwin  acquiesced,  and,  taking 
out  a  red  letter  memorandum  book  in  which  Cooper's  account 
of  mooey  received  had  beenkept,  figured  a  bit  with  a  pen- 
cil, and  said,  "Well,  Albert,  I  find  you  owe  me  $1S.  Coop- 
er's face  was  a  study,  as  he  thought  there  was  some  $300 
coming  to  him.  But  finally  he  said,  'Gibme  de  book  and  pen- 
cil, boss,"  and  theo  he  went  through  Baldwin's  motions  with 
the  book  and  pencil,  and  again  observed,  "Dat's  all  right, 
boss.  Aught  for  aught,  tigger  for  tisger.  All  for  white  man, 
Duffin  for  nigger."  As  Cooper  could  neither  read  nor  wriie, 
the  humor  of  the  situation  has  offorded  much  source  for 
hilarious  mirth,  in  which  both  he  and  Lucky  Baldwin 
joined  more  than  once. — "  Roundabout "  in  Sporting  World.

Mr.  Hendrie's  broodmare  Omeo,  by  Iroquois,  dam  Or- 
phan Girl,  and  therefore  a  full  sister  to  the  flying  Helen 
Nichols,  has  been  sent  to  Kentucky  to  be  bred  to  imp.  Purse- 
bearer,  by  Scottish  Chief,  dam  Thrift  (the  dam  of  Tristan). 

Lawrence  Curran,  the  well-known  railroad  and  turf 
man,  died  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  oo  the  night  of  March  30th  at 
the  Norton  Infirmary.  He  owned  Sovereign  Pat,  Fay  S., 
and  several  other  good  ones.  He  also  owned  a  joint  inter- 
est in  Sabine  with  George  Long. 

Byron  McClelland's  string,  including  the  great  three- 
year-old,  Henry  of  Narvarre,  and  the  good  two-year-old,  Hal- 
ma.  and  Fanstus  colt,  is  to  leave  Lexingtons  Ky  ,  to-day  for 
Sheepshead  Bav.  Henry  of  Navarre  is  regarded  bv  turfmen 
as  the  highest  class  three  year-old  out  except  Domino.  Mc- 
Clelland will  leave  a  portion  of  bis  string  in  charge  of  his 
brother.  He  likes  the  Sheepshead  Bay  track  and  will  not 
take  the  risk  ol  taking  his  valuable  colt  to  Nashville. 


Four  two-year-olds,  the  property  of  W.  H.  Forbes,  of 
Readville,  Mass.,  will  be  shipped  from  Readville  in  a  few 
days  to  young  "  Charlie"  Littlefield's  stables  at  Monmouth 
Park.  Three  are  imported,  while  the  fourth  is  a  native  bred 
one.  Tbey  are  as  follows:  Bay  colt,  by  Hazlehatcb,  dam 
Elsie,  by  Sea  Saw ;  chestnut  colt,  by  St.  Honorat  (brother  to 
Thebais  and  St.  Marguerite),  dam  Suspense,  by  Sea  Saw  ; 
Silvie,  bay  filly,  by  Silver,  dam  Miss  Jack,  by  Mask,  and 
Bluebill,  chestnut  colt,  by  Duke  of  Magenta.dam  Blue  Lodge, 
by  Fellowcraft.  The  youngster  by  Hazelhatch,a  son  of  Her- 
mit and  Hazledean,  should  prove  speedy,  as  his  sire,  with  the 
exception  of  Friar's  Balsam,  was  probably  the  best  two-year- 
old  of  his  year,  as  he  defeated  both  Satiety  and  Seabreeze. 


The  License  Committee  of  the  Western  Turf  Congress  met 
at  Nashville,  Tenn  ,  March  31st,  and  passed  upon  the  appli-

Cincinnati  is  to  have  racing  all  the  year  round,  says  a 
special  of  .April  4lh.  A  new  truck,  with  racing  winter  and 
summmer,  and  witb  foreign  book  and  other  racing  features 
all  the  year  round,  is  soon  to  be  established.  It  will  sail  un- 
der the  title  of  the  Rosedale  Running  and  Trotting  Associa- 
tion, and  will  be  located  within  half  a  mile  of  the  corporate 
limits  of  Newport.  Yesterday  the  deal  was  closed  for  a  tract 
ot  land  within  a  half  mile  of  Newport.  It  is  on  the  lines  of 
three  railroads.  The  electric  street  car  company  has  agreed 
to  extend  its  tracks  to  the  eatesof  the  new  enterprise.  The 
new  track  starts  off  with  an  imposing  array  of  governors  and 
promoters.  Some  of  the  best-known  business  men  of  this  city 
and  Covington  are  listed  as  governors,  but  as  it  takes  only 
OLe  share  of  stock  to  be  a  governor,  it  does  not  follow  that 
all  the  men  named  as  governors  are  actively  interested.  Ti.c 
capital  stock  of  the  uew  track  is$I50,000,  divided  intoshares 
of  $100  each.  Just  now  the  affairs  of  the  new  company  are 
in  a  chaotic  state,  but  after  the  money  is  subscribed  for  the 
stock  it  will  not  take  long  to  organize  and  get  ready  for  busi- 
ness. As  near  as  can  be  learned  tbe  real  promoters  of  tbe 
new  venture,  at  least  the  men  who  attended  the  meeting  last 
night,  are  as  follows:  J.  W.  Haley,  the  well-known  real 
estate  r<>an  of  thiscity,  seems  to  be  the  head  and  front  of  the 
enterprise.  With  him  are  Alex.  Davezac,  the  Internal 
Revenue  Collector  of  Covintton  ;  Joe  Pugh,  the  County  As- 
sessor of  Kenton  county;  Joseph  Rhinnock,  Mayor  of  Cov- 
ington; Col.  George  Zeigler,  of  this  city,  and  William  Reid- 
lin,  the  Covington  brewer.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Tue  Occidental  Once  More — It  may  appear  to  be  a 
waste  of  space  to  amplify  further  on  the  athiirs  of  The  Occi- 
dental Trowing  and  Pacing  Association,  inasmuch  as  it  is 
fairly  under  way  aud  with  the  assurance  of  sufficient  support 
for  a  successful  beginning.  But  the  few  who  are  in  opposi- 
tion are  delertniued  to  carry  their  point,  irrespective  of  fair 
contention,  and  have  through  means,  which  are  certainly 
subject  to  adverse  criticism,  prevailed  on  some  who  were  fav- 
orably iuctiued  to  the  new  orgiuizilion  to  hang  back.  There- 
fore it  will  not  be  out  of  place  to  go  over  some  of  the  points 
already  presented,  and  adi  others  to  meet  the  exigencies  of 
the  present  situation. 

Tuere  is  little  necessity  for  extended  repetition.  Iu  the  first 
place  it  was  decidedly  inconvenient  for  thirty  associations  in 
California  to  transact  business  in  Hartford;  for  ten  to  be  at- 
tached to  Chicago.  The  talk  of  concessions  to  meet  other 
points  of  difference  fails  eniirely  when  thousands  ol  miles 
have  to  lake  the  place  of  a. few  hundred.  Every  journey  a 
delegate  or  contestant  nukes  to  a  convention  or  meeting  of 
the  Board  of  Review,  whether  in  New  York  or  Chicago,  en- 
Uils  a  heavy  expense,  the  loss  of  a  good  deal  of  time.  Every 
time  that  busiuess  has  to  be  done  through  the  mail  there  is 
delay,  every  telegram  sent  is  at  an  added  cost. 

If  that  business  could  not  be  done  at  home,  the  many  miles 
intervening  would  not  figure.  If  the  expense  were  greater 
and  burdensome  to  an  extent  which  would  be  more  than  an 
equivalent  to  the  cost  of  Eastern  connections,  that  argument 
would  be  faulty  and  the  reasoning  based  on  other  grounds. 
Tenable  grounds  as  will  be  shown  hereafter.  But  however 
illy  paid  the  labor  may  be  there  was  a  substantial  guarantee 
that  the  expense  to  members  of  the  new  association  should 
not  exceed  the  cost  of  previous  service,  so  that  is  disposed  of, 
and  then  it  can  be  placed  in  the  same  light  as  that  of  the 
manufacture  of  articles  that  can  be  made  at  home  equally  as 
good  as  those  of  foreign  fabrication,  or  an  illustration  which 
is  more  nearly  analagous  is  that  of  societies,  social  or  politi- 
cal, which  act  in  harmony  with  institutions  of  like  character 
iu  all  parts  of  the  country,  but  dominate  iu  the  district  which 
acknowledges  fealty. 

The  unwieldyness  of  the  machinery  that  follows  the  cen- 
tral wheel  being  so  far  away  is  another  objection,  and  under 
the  present  laws  of  both  Eistern  associations  canuot  be  re- 
moved without  violation  of  these  laws.  The  custom  has 
been  that  a  delinquent  for  entrance  fees  was  held  on  notifica- 
tion from  the  secretary  of  the  association  which  hold  the 
claim  to  the  association  club  or  proprietor  notified,  and  he 
was  not  permitted  to  start  uutil  the  demand  was  complied 
with. 

It  is  not  unlikely,  in  fact,  men  "  learned  in  the  law"  claim, 
that  where  a  person  has  a  right  to  start,  entrance  paid  and  is 
restricted  from  starling  by  a  notice  which  is  not  legal  under 
the  code,  that  an  action  for  damages  would  hold  and  the  asso- 
ciation be  responsible. 

Now  before  notice  could  reach  Hartford,  recorded  there 
and  "  members"  on  the  Pacific  Coast  notified,  quite  a  number 
of  meetings  could  be  held  and  the  collection  in- 
definitely postponed.  Let  us  suppose  that  a  man  has 
been  expelled,  say  at  any  of  the  meetings  preceding  that  of 
the  State  Fair,  the  verdict  pronounced  and  notice  sent  to 
the  central  office.  The  following  week,  for  instance,  iiis  dis- 
covered that  the  verdict  was  unjust.  Temporary  reinstate- 
ment is  among  the  powers  of  thfi  president,  and  any  other 
course  will  not  right  the  wrong.  The  code  of  the  N.  T.  A. 
requires  that  "upon  verified  written  petition "  action  shall 
depend.  Now  if  this  verified  written  petition  had  to  be  sent 
to  Lexington,  Kentucky,  or  Terre  Haute,  Indiana,  with  a 
good  chance  for  the  presidents  to  be  absent,  and  what  chance 
would  the  victim  have  to  fulfil  his  engagements  for  weeks  to 
come. 

An  officer  of  the  N.  T.  A.  when  confronted  with  this  argu- 
ment, or  rather  with  the  one  regarding  collections,  justified 
the  hreach  of  law  by  replyiug"that  some  laws  were  made  to 
be  broken,"  but  in  such  delicate  a  question  as  that  of  rein- 
statement it  would  be  an  arrogant  assumption  of  importance 
to  permit  an  expelled  man  to  start  iu  a  race  without  the 
canction  of  the  supreme  power. 

The  By-Laws  of  the  Occidental  provide  that  a  notice  from 
one  secretary  to  another,  and  also  sent  the  secretary  of  the 
1  ' .  i -i ■  it- nt :tl,  shall  be  valid  so  that  even  one  meeting  would  not 
he  available  after  the  indebtedness  was  incurred  and  notice 
sent. 

In  mentioning  changes  which  are  likely  to  he  made  in  the 
By-Laws  of  the  Occidental,  that  in  regard  to  collections,  and 
one  which  interdict  the  substitution  of  tines  for  expulsions 
for  fraudulently  losing  races,  has  met  the  approval  of  two  \ 
members  of  the  committee,  and  the  other  signified,  before 
the  copy  was  sent  him,  that  ihey  were  in  accordance  with  his 
views.  The  last-named  1  hold  to  be  of  vital  importance  as 
the  custom  has  been  altogether  too  common  in  the  past.  It  i 
not  jnly  gives  the  rich  culprit  the  advantage  over  a  poor 
victim,  but  is  nothing  more  or  le<s  than  a  bribe  lo  influence 
judgment.  Capital  crime  Bhould  evoke  capital  punishment;  if 
thereare  "extenuating  circumstances"  pardon  without  qualifi- 
cation, if  the  CirCUmRtancea  will  scarcely  warrant  the  height 
of  leniency,  suspend  for  a  definate  period,  if  a  gross  case  of 
an  attempt  to  rob  let  him  pay  the  penalty  in  foil,  the  richer 
he  is  the  greater  necessity  for  an  example.  1  have  hearty 
sympathy  for  a  wrung  doer  whom  poverty  pushes  Out  of  a 
straight  course.  People  never  subjected  to  temptation  of  that 
kind  have  little  knowledge  of  the  actual  situation,  and  plac- 
ing them  on  the  same  plain  a**  one  who  is  exempt  is  the  least 
that  can  be  done  in  equity-  Therefore  I  hold  that  in  this  one 
point,  if  DO  others,  l  he  new  has  set  an  example  to  the  old. 
That  it  will  lead  to  the  way  of  reform  1  have  QOdouht.  The 
ut  code  is  onlv  temporary;  at  the  next   annual  election, 

fiisi  Tueariny  in  Maud.  1895,  there  will  be  a  thorough  over- 
hauling and  amendments  be  in  order. 

'I'll--  objection  advanced  are  so  generally  invalid  that  little 
notice  will  lie  required.  UiHStatementSj  to  up  >ab  as  politely 
as  possible,  hive  been  rife,  and  these  may  have  misled  from 
the  audacity  with  winch  tbev  were  advanced. 

trivial  category  is  that  the  foreign  market  for 
light    ban  lior  .-■   i-    now   growing  in    importance,  and  all 

records  made  under  the  new  dispensation  will  be  invalid. 
The  only  basin  for  that  is  thai  ''  Performances  againel  Time 


and  "Match  Races"  to  be  accepted  by  the  Registry  Associa- 


tion, must  he  made  over  tracks  which  hold  membership  in 

j  the  N.   T.   A.  or  A.  T.  A.     All  regular  meetings  conducted 

'  under  the  rules  of  the  A.  T.  K.  A.,  whether  members  or  not 

|  of  the  N.  T.  A.  or  A.   T-   A.,   are    legal    and    so    accepted 

j  by  the  only  authoritative  body  so  that  all  purses  and  stakes 

j  which  are  decided  in  accordance  with   these  rules  on  any 

track,  records  made  at  them  are  recoguized.     There   is   ltttle 

question  that  A.   T.  R.   A.  will  recognize  members  of  the 

Occidental  as  being  on  the  same  footing  as  the  others,  and 

!  then  there  will  be  no  difference  in  any  respect. 

One  of  the  late  arguments  presented  against  the  Occidental 
1  was  that  as  the  California  State  Fair  was  in  opposition,  and 
that  it  had  a  greater  interest  at  stake  than  any  other,  and  there- 
fore the  other  a-sociations  which  favored  the  departure  should 
,  succumb  to  the  will  of  that.     Fallacious  from  every  point  of 
I  view.     It  is  a  grand  exposition,  and  as  an  exhibition  of  the 
!  resources  of  the  country,  an  educator  in  all  pertaining  to 
!  stock  raising,  agriculture,  horticulture  and  mechanical  arts 
is  beyond  adverse  criticism.     Admirably    managed,  too,  in 
[  most  of  the  many  portions  which  make  up  the  grand  total, 
but  that  it  is  more  interested  in  the  well-doing  of  light-har- 
ness horses  and  the  sports  of  the  track  than  other  fairs  which 
are  also  State  institutions,  is  not  susceptible  of  proof.     That 
the  Pacific  Coast  Trottiug-Iiorse  Breeders'  Association  is  far 
beyond  the  State  Fair  in  respect  to  this  phase  of  the  question, 
gives  slauncher  support  to  tne  industry  of  rearing,  training 
and  all  the  branches  of  business  connected  with  trotters  and 
pacers,  few  who  are  well-informed  as  to  the  relative  standing 
will  deny.     Its  membership  includes  all  the  breeders,  practi- 
cally, of  California  and  quite  a  number  in  adjoining  States. 
I  have  not  the   least  hesitation  in  avowing  that  there  is  not 
an  association  of  kindred  type  which  preseuts  a  list  of  better 
men  in  every  sense,  and  so  far  as  my  knowledge  extends,  it 
has  a  larger  number  of  members  than  any  other  association 
of  like  character — something  over  two  hundred  active  mem- 
bers, and  of  the  number  I  have  seen  and  conversed  with  on 
the  subject  of  organizing  a  home  society,  only  two  in  opposi- 
,  tion. 

It  has  been  also  urged  that  the  members  of  the  Board  of 
I  Directors  were  unknown  iu  the  East.    That  is  not  true,  as  all 
|  are  breeders,  and  so  long  as  they  are   favorably  known  at 
home   foreign  reputation  is  not  essential.      Then  the  list  is 
not  yet  complete.  The  By-Laws  provide  for  fifteen  directors, 
'  seven  of  which  are  yet  to  be  chosen,  and  this  vacancy  will  be 
I  filled  at  a  meeting  of  the  Board  to  be  held  in  the  near  future 
I  by  selecting  men  who  live   in   sections  not  yet  represented. 
I  Directors  and  officers  will  hold  iheir  places   till  the  next  an- 
nual  meeting,  at  which    time  the  organization  will  be  per- 
fected ;  in  the  meantime  the  By-Laws  and  rules  prepared  by 
the  committee  will  be  ample  for  the  conduct  of  its  affairs.  So 
|  little  difference  between  them  and  the  Eastern  codes  as  lo  be 
exact   couterparts,  the  exception  covering  points  which   had 
to  be  changed  to  meet  the  situation. 

And  now  I  will  briefly  notice  what   may  be  termed   per- 
sonal misrepresentations.     The  charge  has  been  promulgated 
that  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman   favored  the  project  in 
■  order  to  rent  the  use  of  its  rooms  for  the  headquarters  of  the 
Occidental.       Were  the  whole  of  San  Francisco  searched  a 
better  location  could  not  be  obtained.      Admirably  adapted 
!  for  the  purpose,  locality  central,  within  a  few  blocks  of  all  the 
main  hotels,  plenty  of  room  for  quite  a  large  assembly,  every 
j  facility  required.     Neither  r^ut,  charge  for  gas,  or  heating,  a 
!  free  presentation   of  the  whole.     It   is  quite  true  that  the 
,  Breeder  and  Sportsman  will  be  benefited  in  the  same  way 
I  that  breeders  and  owners  are  benefited  by  the  impetus  which 
will  be  given  to  track  sports,   and  greater  prosperity  to  all 
branches  of  business   connected  with    light-harness  horses 
from  home  management.     That  the  American  Trotting  Asso- 
:  ciation  has  been  beneficial   in  thesame  way  no  one  will  have 
;  the  hardihood  to  deny,  and  though    the  conditions  are  not 
exactly  parallel  they  are  enough  so  to  warrant  similar  ex- 
j  pectalions.     Whatever  is  beneficial   to  the  general  interest 
of  breeders  and  owuers  advances  the  interests  of  a  paper  "  de- 
,  voted"  to  augmenting  the  profits  of  breeders  and  owners  and 
hence  the  manager  of  the  Breeder  and^Sportsman  has  be- 
stowed what  was  of  vital  importance  in  the  founding  of  the 
enterprise. 

Still  more  important, however.in  launching  the  new  society, 
I  no  only  in  putting  it  afloat  but  also  by  rigging  it  in  a  way 
that  would  ensure  seaworthiness,  and  this  kind  action  has 
been  so  twisted  and  warped,  it  might  be  called  promptings  of 
a  malignant  mind  that  first  gave  it  utterance.  That  was  that 
F.  VV.  Kelley,  manager  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman, 
had  lent  his  assistance  on  account  of  salary  being  the  reward. 
i  Some  went  so  far  as  to  state  the  amount  $1,500  per  year,  so 
that  with  rental  and  wages  there  was  liberal  provision.  Mr. 
Kelley,  while  the  receipts  would  be  so  light,  as  were  inevit- 
able at  the  outset,  offered  his  services  as  secretary  free,  not  a 
single  dollar  of  remuneration  until  all  other  expenses  were 
met,  and  this  made  the  organization  possible.  In  fact,  after 
the  convention  was  held  and  delegates  from  twelve  asso 
ciations  approved  the  scheme,  that  offer  and  the  vote  de- 
cided the  question  heyo.id  all  reasonable  controversy. 

Never  a  fear  of  the  future  when  the  start  was  so  auspicious. 
The  assurance  was  ample,  as  I  was  well  aware  that  the  busi- 
ness would  be  as  thoroughly  conducted  as  though  there  were 
large  salaries  attached. 

When  Aruasa  Sprague  took  upon  himself  to  make  the  same 
provision  for  the  National  Trotting  Association,  as  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  and  Mr.  Kelley  did  for  the  Occi 
dental  Trotting  ami  facing  Association,  no  one  doubted  the  ac- 
complishment. A  (that  time  he  was  possessed  of  great  wealth, 
his  "  word  as  good  as  his  bond,*'  as  sincere  in  his  endeavors 
to  beuefit  the  "  American  trotting  turf,"aud  as  liberal  hearted 
a  man  at  could  be  found  on  the  continent.  Small  return  for 
his  kindness  and  liberality  as  events  proved,  hut  should  there 
ever  he  a  historian  of  the  period  of  trotting  annuals  em 
l :ed  in  the  time  shortly  prior  to  and  subsequent  lo  the  con- 
vention of  1870.  the  top  niche  in  the  temple  will  be  awarded 
lion.  A  masa  Sprague,  of  Rhode  Island. 

While  it  may  be  claimed  that  the  conditions  are  so  widely 
different  there  are  plain  parallels,  and  whatever  the  future 
of  the  Occiden  al  may  prove,  without  the  assistance  men- 
tioned the  Start  could  not  have  been  made  now.  I  had  a  good 
opportunity  to  judge  of  Mr.   Kelly's  Qualifications.    For  two 

Seasons  1  watched  clo<ely  Iiis  methods  of  doing  the  work  of 
ihe  1'.  ('.  T  II.  I!.  A.  I  laving  done  a  good  deal  of  the  same 
kind  myself  and  seen  that  of  others,  it  must  necessarily  follow 
that  I  should  have  some  knowledge  of  (he  requirements  tn 
fill  the  office  satisfactorily.  Not  the  easiest  thing  to  accom 
plish  with  the  inducement  of  a  good  salary  to  attract  (nlem 
of  the  right  Btamp,  gratuitous,  and  in  all  my  acquaintance 
there  is  only  one  whom  I  would  endorse  to  do  the  work  as  it 
Bhould  be  executed  and  that  is  the  one  who  accepted  the  posi- 
tion. 


So  far  as  relates  to  bringing  myself  into  the  argument  there 
is  no  response.  That  does  not  have  any  bearing.  My  friends 
are  aware  that  there  is  no  personal  motive  urging  advocacy 
further  than  ihe  gratification  of  fighting  in  a  cause  which  I 
believe  to  be  eminently  just,  and  that  the  winning  of  which 
will  be  to  the  advancement  of  interests  I  have  been  identified 
with  for  so  many  years.  Their  opinion  is  very  dear  to  me, 
more  warmly  cherished  as  the  journey  of  life  draws  nearer 
its  end.  Not  a  seutence  would  be  written  to  placate  enemies, 
and  a  great  deal  of  provocation  without  reply. 

And  yet  I  am  very  much  gratified  that  the  "  turf  papers  | 
so  generally  commend  the  organization  of  the  far-western 
society.  All  of  those  which  I  read,  with  one  exception,  have 
published  kind  words,  and  letters  from  Eastern  friends  also 
contain  tokens  of  approval.  Were  it  so  nefarious  a  scheme, 
as  the  few  endeavor  to  make  people  believe,  it  would  not  re- 
ceive such  general  support  at  home,  universal  countenance  is 
not  far  out  of  the  way,  when  the  great  mass  of  breeders  and 
owners  of  harness  horses  on  this  Coast  are  taken  into  consid- 
eration, iD  arriving  at  an  estimate,  and  there  would  be  cen- 
sure in  lieu  of  cheer  in  the  journals  which  stand  guard  over 
the  interests  connected  with  trotters  and  pacers.  There  may 
result  a  backwardness  on  the  part  of  associations  to  join  the 
new  under  the  pressure  which  has  been  brought  to  bear  by  a 
small  band  of  malcontents  to  support  the  old,  but  with  the 
progress  already  made  it  is  a  safe  prediction  that  it  will  not 
be  long  until  there  is  harmonious  union,  not  one  which  will 
stand  aloof. 

There  is  one  more  answer  I  would  like  to  put  in,  not  that 
the  charge  requires  rebuttal,  but  as  showing  the  straits  to 
which  the  other  side  has  been  driven.  That  was  that  people 
here  would  rather  have  their  difficulties  settled  by  arbitra- 
tors at  a  distance  than  trust  to  their  neighbors.  There  may 
becaseswhen  a  change  of  venue  will  forward  justice,  and  it 
also  might  occur  that  a  man  notoriously  crooked  in  track 
affairs  would  suffer  from  a  "trial  by  his  peers"  who  were 
cognizant  of  the  black  marks  he  had  scored  to  his  discredit. 
Not  enough  of  them,  however,  to  offset  the  multitude  who 
would  prefer  a  home  tribunal  before  which  there  would  be  a 
chance  lo  produce  witnes  es  without  journeying  across  the 
continent. 

It  has  been  decided  by  the  committee  on  By-Laws  and

Castration. — From  late  enquiries  there  is  a  prevailing 
opinion  that  aged  stallions  are  castrated  at  considerable  risk, 
and  many  who  would  like  to  have  the  operation  performed  \ 
are  loth  to  encounter  the  chance  of  death.  Now  that  stal- 
lions, unless  of  a  very  high  class,  are  unsalable,  and  many  of 
them  troublesome  to  take  care  of,  when  emasculated  would 
be  marketable,  and  if  not  for  sale  or  fail  to  find  a  purchaser, 
their  keep  be  less  expensive.  So  many  have  asked  for  in- 
formation in  regard  to  the  safety  of  the  operation  on  aged 
stallions,  that  it  is  evidently  a  mooted  question,  some  adhering 
to  the  old  notion  that  it  was  dangerou«,  and,  if  successful, 
that  a  "stag"  horse  was  iu  thesame  category  as  a  bovine 
which  had  run  to  maturity  before  the  knife  was  applied. 
With  skilful  operators  and  proper  care  thereafter,  and,  by 
the  way,  exercise  from  the  first  is  essential,  there  is  no  danger 
to  speak  of.  Captain  Harris  gelded  Sir  Thad  for  me  when 
four  years  old.  Dr.  Bowhill  operated  on  Antecello  when  six 
years,  and  Dr.  Stimpson  on  Anteiro  when  nearly  niue  years 
old.  No  trouble  with  any  of  them,  and  while  the  trio  named 
are  skillful,  there  are  plenty  of  people  now  who  are  compe- 
tent. The  French  system  is  a  decided  improvement  on  the 
old  methods,  doing  away  with  clamps,  ligatures  or  cauteriz- 
ing. The  main  thing  after  treatment  is  plenty  of  exercise, 
and  though  it  may  appear  cruel  to  trot  the  animal  as  soon  as 
the  job  is  done,  if  the  cords  have  been  severed  at  the  proper 
place  the  slow  jog  does  not  increase  the  pain,  and  that  and  | 
subsequent  exercise  keeps  downthe  swelling. 

There  are  plenty  of  stallions  which  will  make  fine  road 
and  carriage  horses,  when  "changed,"  and  as  stated  before, 
with  proper  men  to  make  the  transformation,  one  need  not 
hesitate  on  account  of  risk. 


Seven  Pacers — Ed.  Lafferty  has  seven  pacers  in  training 
at  the  Oakland  Park,  and  this  without  doubt  is  the  first  in- 
stance when  a  California  trainer  had  that  many  at  work  at 
onetime.  There  may  have  beeu  on  the  Valensin  ranch  that 
number  of  colts  which  exhibited  the  tendency  in  one  season, 
but  all  of  these  in  Mr.  Lafferty's  charge  are  expected  to  take 
part  in  the  races.  That  there  isa  good  deal  of  speed  in  the 
bunch  may  be  taken  for  granted,  and  he  who  so  successfully 
piloted  Wood  to  his  fast  mark  should  make  it  available. 

Nolan  has  a  pacer  or  two  that  are  likely  to  be  serviceable 
in  their  classes,  Smith  has  Fresno  Prince  and  John  Roen  has 
some  fast  green  ones,  so  that  the  Oakland  division  of  side- 
wheelers  may  be  prominent  in  the  pacing  events  through 
the  grand  circuit. 


One  Thousand  the  Minimum. — Depending  upon  recol- 
lection the  announcement  if  the  P.  C  T.  H.  A.  that  seven- 
teen purses,  to  be  decided  within  seven  days  at  the  furthest, 
from  August  1th  to  August  11th,  the  smallest  of  which  is  om

rank  as  the  first  instance,  not  only  in  California  but  in  all  j 
other  parts  of  the  trotting  world.  This  liberality  on  the*

nesa  and  bring  the  products  of  farms,  manufactories,  mines, 
shops,  vineyards  and  gardens  out  of  the  slough  of  despair, 
trotters  and  pacers  will  find  plenty  to  do.  Thousand  dollar 
purses  with  still  lighter  entrance  will  be  plentiful,  and  every 
promising  colt  and  mature  horse  be  in  demand.  But  in  or- 
der to  inaugurate  a  system  which  will  relieve  owners  from  the 
grievous  burden  they  have  hitherto  borne  in  the  shape  of 
entrance  fees,  it  will  be  necessary  for  them  to  make  an  un- 
mistakable demonstration  of  the  willingness  to  do  their  part 
in  the  butle.  They  must  not  decline  making  entries  unless 
impressed  with  the  notion  that  first  "  money  "  will  surely  fall 
to  their  share. 

It  will  pay  them  to  take  chances.  In  the  first  place  there 
are  divisions  so  that  four  of  the  contestants  in  each  race  will 
be  provided  for,  and  then  if  support  is  given  this  year  on 
what  may  seem  a  slim  chance,  it  may  be  their  turn  the  nest. 
Then  again  if  the  returns  of  this  initial  meeting  in  the  shape 
of  entries  are  satisfactorv,it  will  be  a  stimulus  to  other  places 
to  ''  hang  up  "  a  great  deal  more  money  than  would  follow  a 
medium  return. 

Apart  from  tbe  magnitude  of  the  horses  offered  for  the 
summer  meeting  the  clarification  cannot  fail  to  give  satis- 
faction. All  ages,  all  grades  are  provided  for,  and  one  roust 
be  an  inveterate  kicker  who  finds  much  to  condemn  in  the 
whole  programme  which  will  be  found  in  its  appropriate 
place.  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 

SEVENTH    DAY    SPRING    MEETING WEDNESDAY,  APRIL    11. 

HE  talent  had  a  shade  the  best  of 
matters  to-day,  for  the  horses  "  ran 
up  to  form,"  and  three  favorites 
were  successful.  The  track  was  a 
trifle  slow,  Btill  good  time  was 
made  in  a  couple  of  events,  notably 
the  last  two  races.  A  crowd  of  over 
2,000  was  in  attendance,  and  the 
racing  was  excellent,  for  tne  fields 
were  large  and  the  horses  of  a  very 
fair  class.  The  feature  of  the  day's 
sport  wis  the  splendid  victory  of  Romair,  on  whose  win  A. 
B.Spreckels  quit  several  thousands  to  the  good.  E.  Jones, 
Carr,  A.  Covington,  L.  Lloyd  and  Burlingame  were  the 
successful  pilots  to-day. 

Chula  led  until  nearing  the  homestretch  in  tbe  first  rece, 
then  Silver  was  freed  by  little  Jones  and  won  in  a  gallop  by 
three  leugths,  Bliss  beating  Chula  for  place  a  nose  ic  a  hard 

drive. 

Installator,  the  favorite,  led  for  over  three  furlongs  in  the 
second  race,  and  then  Tiger  ta  new  one)  came  up  and  clawed 
his  way  to  victory  for  George  Rose,  Installator  just  manag- 
ing to  beat  Find  Out  a  nose  for  the  place. 

it  looked  very  much  as  if  Dr.  Ross  was  not  to  be  caught 
in  the  third  race.  He  led  at  the  quarter  by  four  lengths,  at 
the  half  by  nearly  eight,  but  tiring  a  little  over  a  quarter  of 
a  mile  from  home,  came  back  to  his  field  so  fast  that  he  had 
to  be  content  to  play  second  fiddle  to  Hy  Dy's  lead  at  the 
finish.  Steadfast,  coming  like  a  shot,  finished  a  neck  behind 
Ross. 

Romair  waited  on  Melamta  and  Zobair  until  well  into  tbe 
homestretch,  and  then  won  handily  by  a  length  in  the  good 
time  of  1:13.  From  the  press  stand  it  looked  as  if  Zobair  had 
secured  the  place  by  about  three  inches,  but  he  was  placed 
third  and  Royal  Flush  second.  .  Melanie  was  right  there  too 
at  the  end.  As  Royal  Flush  carried  115  pounds  aod  ran 
close  to  1:13,  it  is  but  fair  to  assume  that  weight  does  not  cut 
such  a  great  figure  with  him 

Tigress  won  the  last  race  of  the  day  in  a  gallop  by  three 
lengths,  and  B.  C.  Holly,  owner  of  Sympathetic's  Last,  who 
raD  second,  elevated  her  price  from  $400  to  $1,000,  Kelly 
keeping  the  little  filly  at  $1,005.

Silver,  backed  from  3  to  1  to  21  to  1,  was  favorite.  Melan- 
ita was  at  2k  to  1,  Candor  5  (opened  at  2£),  Tornado  6 
(backed  down  from  15),  Annie  D.  12,  the  others  from  15  to 
100  to  1.  Chula  got  away  in  front  well  on  her  stride,  and 
soon  opened  up  a  gap  of  over  two  lengths.  Candor  was  sec- 
ond at  the  start,  Gerhaldine  gelding  third,  Anuie  D.  fourth. 
At  the  half  Chula  led  by  a  coupleof  lengths,  Tornado  second, 
a  length  from  Bliss.  Chula  came  back  to  her  field  fast  as 
they  neared  the  homestretch,  leading  into  the  straight  by 
half  a  length,  Silver  second,  Bliss  third.  In  the  last  200 
yards  Silver  came  to  the  front,  winning  handily  by  three 
lengths,  and  in  a  hard  drive  Bliss  beat  Chula  nose  for  the 
place.     Durango  was  fourth.     Time,  1:02|.

[Winner  trained  by  T.  Lottridge.] 

Installator  was  a  red-hot  favorite  at  7  to  10.  The  Rose 
stable  (Washoe  and  Tiger}  was  at  4  to  1,  Find  Out  4,  Charity 
Colt  7,  the  others  from  15  to  50  to  1.  There  were  a  number 
of  breakaways.  Twilight  acting  like  a  mule,  Installator  and 
Washoe  runniog  over  a  furlong  each  time.  Finally  the  flag 
fell  to  a  good  start,  except  for  Twilight,  who  refused  to 
break.  Installator,  Niagara,  Find  Out,  Tigress  was  tbe  or- 
der. Installator  led  to  the  head  of  the  homestretch  by  a 
length,  Tiger  having  run  up  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths 
from  the  Charity  Colt,  who  headed  a  bunch  behind.  Tiger 
headed  Installator  a  little  less  tban  a  furlong  from  home,  and 
Find  Out  came  out  of  the   bunch.    Tiger  won   handily  by 


nearly  two  lengths,  and  Installator  lasted  just  long  enough  to 
beat  the  fast-coming  Find  Out  a  nose  for  place.  Niagara 
was  fourth,  a  couple  of  lengths  further  away.     Time,  0:504.

Hy  Dy  and  Zaragoza  were  equal  favorites  at  2  to  1.  Stead- 
fast was  at  3  to  1,  Ravine  8,  the  others  from  15  to  100  to  1. 
Dr.  Ross  led  a'  a  strong  pace  at  the  quarter,  being  four

At  the  half  Dr.  Ross  had  widened  the  gap  to  eight  lengths, 
Zaragoza  second,  R  ivine  next,  lapped  by  Steadfast.  "  They 
can  never  catch  Ross,"  shouted  the  crowd.  However,  the 
Doctor  came  back  to  his  field  fast  as  they  neared  the  home- 
stretch, Hy  Dy  running  through  his  field  at  a  great  rate.  Dr. 
Ross  led  into  the  homestretch  by  three  leugths,  Ravine, 
Steadfast,  Zaragoza  and  Hy  Dy  being  close  together.  Hy  Dy. 
came  away  at  the  finish  aod  won  easily  by  a  lengi  h,  while  Dr.

The  fourth  was  a  great  race.  Melanie,  at  2  to  1,  was  fa-

Royal  Flush  5,  De  Bracey  6,  Booze  12  to  1.  To  a  beautiful 
start  they  went  away.  At  the  half-pole  Romair  was  leading,

far  from  De  Bracey,  who  had  Royal  Flush  at  his  neck.  Me-

ond, Zobair  third,  DeBracey  fou.th,  Royal  Flush  next.  They

Tigress  was  a  warm  favorite,  opening  at  7  to  5,  going  at 
2k  to  1,  closing  at  7  to  5.  Sympathetic's  Last,  well-played, 
was  a  2k  to  1  shot,  Inferno  5,  Coonaught  6,  the  others  from 
15to50tol.  Tigress,  Sympathetic's  Last,  Connaugbt  was 
the  order  to  a  fair  start.  At  the  half-pole  Sympathetic's  Last 
was  leading  Tigress  by  three  parls  of  a  length,  Queen  Bee 
third,  another  length  off.  There  was  little  change  in  the  run 
to  the  homestretch,  except  that  Inferno  ran  up  third  and 
Queen  Bee  fell  back.  Carr  made  a  rather  wide  turn  with 
Sympathetic's  Last,  and  Tigress  profited  by  it,  leading  by 
over  a  length  an  eighth  from  home  aod  winning  in  a  gallop

selling  price  but  Mike  Kelly  retained  her  at  $1,005. 

EIGHTH  DAY — THURSDAY,  APRIL  12. 

Racing  to-day  was  simply  superb,  notwithstanding  it  is 
often  that  we  see  larger  fields  and  horses  of  a  higher  class. 
When  tbe  contestants  are  well  matched,  however,  the  public 
care  more  for  close  contests  than  to  see  some  high-class 
horse  spread-eagle  a  field,  making  them  look  like  saffron-hued 
canines.  The  first  race  was  split  to-day,  the  second  division 
taking  the  place  of  the  original  third  race,  which  was  declared 
off  for  some  reason.  It  was  only  a  fair  day  for  favorites, 
two  of  the  events  being  taken  by  first  choices,  one  by  a  second 
choice,  two  by  rather  long  shots.  Felix  Carr  distinguished 
himself  greatly  this  afternoon  by  riding  three  wiuners  and  a 
second  out  of  four  mounts.  Chevalier  and  Madison  rode 
the  remaining  winners.  Starter  Ferguson  was  again  in  fine 
form,  (our  of  the  five  starts  being  models. 

Vandalight,  second  choice,  waited  on  Welcome  until  well 
in  the  homestretch,  then  came  away  and  won  very  handily 
by  two  lengths  from  the  heavilv-Dlugged  favorite,  Trentola, 
who  is  evidently  not  a  sprinter,  though  a  good  sort  of  horee  at 
the  longer  distances.  Ivy  got  the  show,  and  she  was  not  ne- 
glected in  the  1-2-3  betting  by  any  means. 

Emma  D.  opened  up  a  big  gap  on  her  opponents  in  the 
second  event,  but  gave  up  half-way  down  the  homestretch, 
and  Chemuck  took  command.  Clacquer  came  up  like  a  meteor 
down  the  straight,  and  it  took  some  very  artistic  ridiog  on 
Carr's  part  to  land  Chemuck  a  winner  by  a  head  in  the  crack- 
ing good  time  of  1:01|  for  the  fivefurlongs. 

Chula  looked  every  inch  a  winner  up  to  the  last  furlong  of 
the  third  race,  but  quit  almost  to  nolhiog,  El  Tirano,  Dick 
Havey's  good-looking  Tyrant  colt,  coming  on  and  winning 
well  in  hand  by  two  lengths  from  Agitato,  the  favorite,  who 
beat  Chula  about  a  length  for  the  show. 

Tbe  handicap  was  a  very  pretty  race,  and  it  was  a  good 
piece  of  work — better  than  it  looked,  for  some  of  the  horses 
did  not  quite  run  up  to  their  form.  Sir  Reel  and  Gilead 
raced  close  together  until  passing  the  half-pole,  the  latter 
sulking  and  getting  the  lash.  Candid|  then  improved  her 
position  fast  and  said  "  ta-ta  "  to  Sir  Reel  in  the  last  100 
yards,  beating  him  half  a  length.  Abo-7t  one  and  a  half 
lengths  away  was  Red  Root,  coming  by  far  the  fastest.  He 
bad  been  kept  back  too  long  by  Tuberville,  or  he  would  have 
won. 

Bill  Howard  beat  Border  Lassie  a  nose  in  a  most  exciting 
drive  in  the  last  race,  and  a  great  day's  sport  was  over.  One 
of  the  races  was  won  by  a  nose,  another  by  a  head,  and  still 
another  by  half  a  length.

Trentola  opened  at  8  to  5,  and  was  played  so  stiffly  that  at 
the  close  the  best  odds  were  y  to  10.  Vandalight  receded 
from  2  to  3  to  1.  Cherokee  was  at  5  to  1,  Ivy  20,  Cody  B. 
10,  the  others  from  15  to  30  to  1.  To  a  good  start  Vanda- 
light, Welcome,  Irish  Johnny,  Trentola  was  the  order.  At 
the  half  Welcome  was  leading  by  a  neck,  Vandalight  second, 
three  lengths  from  Irish  Johnny,  who  headed  a  bunch.  Ivy 
was  fourth.  At  tbe  three-quarter  pole  Welcome  was  leading 
by  a  head,  Vandalight  second  under  a  pull,  three  lengths 
from  Ivy,  who  was  a  length  in  front  of  Irish  Johnny.  There 
was  little  change  until  about  a  furlong  from  home,  when 
Trentola  began  moviog  up  fast.  He  had  passed  all  hut  Van- 
dalight and  Ivy  in  the  last  sixteenth,  but  Vandalight  was  too 
full  of  run,  and  won  very  easily  by  two  lengths  from  Tren-

at  Ivy's  heels.     Time,  1:02-1.

Animal    Tuberculosis    and     Its 
Publio    Health. 


Relations      to 


[By  Prof.  Titos.  Bowhill.  ».  R.  C.  V.  3..  F.  R.  P.  S.1 
This   wide  spread   and    insiduous  disease   has    now   been 
proven  to  be  due  to  the  presence  within  the  animal  economy 
of  a  micro-parasite  belonging  to  the  class  of  bacilli,  and  desig- 
nated the  barillw  tuberculosa. 

bacilli  when  stained  appear  as  delicate  rods  or 
thread,  1.5  to  3.5  u  in  length,  and  about  .2  u  in  tkickuess,  but 
it  must  be  remembered  these  dimensions  are  by  no  means 
constant.  Even  in  the  same  preparation  and  under  different 
conditions  the  variations  in  size  are  sometimes  very  marked. 
The  shorter  rods  are  mostly  straight,  while  the  longer  rods 
are  slightly  curved.  The  ends  of  the  bacilli  are  rounded, 
and  they  appear  sometimes  uniform  or  homogenous. 

Sometimes  stained  bacilli  show  a  beaded  aspect  as  if  they 
were  composed  of  a  series  of  spherical  or  coccus-like  elements; 
again  unstained  specks  can  be  seen  in  many  rods,  and  these 
specks  were  claimed    as  bat  this  discovery  is  disputed, 

and  the  supposed  spores  are  designated  as  degenerated  pro- 
cesses in  the  bacilli. 

The  tubercle  bacilli  are  non  motile.  Microscopical  exam- 
ination of  tissues  of  tuberculous  animals  show  the  bacilli  both 
in  and  between  the  animal  cells.  There  is,  however,  some 
difference  in  the  grouping  of  the  bacilli  in  the  tissues  of  the 
various  animals  that  are  the  subject  of  tubercular  lesions. 
In  the  giant  cells  of  the  ox  aud  pig,  a  marginal  and  radiate 
form  of  grouping  is  frequently  encountered.  In  the  horse, 
the  giant  cells  are  tilled  with  bacilli,  *»iid  in  many  cases  the 
body  of  the  cell  is  mainly  composed  of  these  organisms. 
In  tuberculosis  of  thecommon  fowl  a  peculiar  mode  of  group- 
ing occurs — the  bacilli  are  very  loogand  much  curved,  form- 
ing irregular  masses  seldom  or  ever  met  with  in  mammalia. 
This  difference,  coupled  with  the  assertion  of  Koch  at  the  In- 
ternational Medical  Congress  in  1890,  that  tubercle  cultures 
from  fowls  were  quite  distinct  and  could  not  be  passed  on  as 
such   from   animals   to  animals    of  different  species,  or  by 

frowth  at  different  temperatures,  and  that  although  nearly  re- 
a'.ed  to  the  ordinary  tubercle  bacillus  they  are  specifically 
distinct,  make  it  not  improbable  that  the  Avian  bacillus  is  a 
different  organism  from  the  bacillus  of  mammalian  tuber- 
culosis. Nothing  varies  as  much  as  the  number  of  bacilli 
present  in  tubercular  lesions.  Many  cases  of  tuberculosis  oc- 
cur in  which  very  prolonged  search  is  necessary  to  discover  a 
single  bacillus.  In  tuberculosis  of  the  pig  it  is  very  difficult  to 
demonstrate  the  presence  of  the  bacilli.  According  to  Mc- 
Fadyean,  the  bacilli  are  most  numerous  in  the  horse  and  cat. 

The  extreme  variability  in  tbe  number  of  bacilli  present  in 
tuberculous  lesions,  where,  for  instance,  it  is  impossible  to  de- 
tect the  presence  of  a  single  bacillus  in  a  fairly  formed  tuber- 
culous nodule  has  led  to  the  assumption  that  a  few,  or  per- 
haps onlv  one,  bacillus,  may  excite  the  formation  of  a  tuber- 
cles containing  thousands  of  cells.  Others  claim  that  the  ba- 
cilli maydisappear  from  a  tubercle,  either  bv  total  destruc- 
tion through  the  agency  of  the  cells  or  by  resolving  themselves 
into  spores. 

The  peculiarity  of  the  number  of  bacilli  found  has  a  very 
important  hearing,  from  a  sanitary  point  of  view,  because,  if 
tubercle  bacilli  were  numerous  and  as  easy  demonstrated  as 
the  bacilli  of  Anthrax  in  cases  of  that  disease,  then  the  prac- 
tice of  staining  for  the  tubercle  bacilli,  asameausofdiaguosis, 
in  connection  with  meat  inspection,  would  longere  this  have 
become  general.  However,  when  the  presence  of  the  tubercle 
bacillus  is  demonstrated,  the  matter  is  ended  as  far  as  any 
contrary  opinion  is  concerned,  but,  nevertheless,  because  in 
any  given  case  no  bacilli  can  be  discovered  in  seveial  prepa- 
rations examined,  it  does  not  follcw  that  the  case  is  not  oue 
of  tuberculosis. 

The  microscopical  examination  of  suspected  tissues,  etc., 
for  tubercle  bacilli,  when  conducted  with  certain  straining 
re-agents,  shows  that  the  tubercle  bacilli  possess  certain  indi- 
vidual peculiarities  which  enable  them  to  be  at  once  distin- 
guished from  other  organisms.  There  are  many  different 
methods  of  staining  the  organism,  the  most  generally  used 
are — ZicM  NeUnen  or  Ehrlichia  method,  Gobbets1  method, 
Czaplewski's  method  and  the  sediment  methods  of  Btedish 
:iml  Sr ,-■>.-■>■/!.  i i,  :  The  various  rules  and  regulations  necessary  to 
conduct  any  of  those  methods  are  too  exhaustive  to  be  in- 
cluded in  a  paper  of  this  description,  and  being  of  easy  ac- 
cess in  modern  literature,  I  trust  their  omission  will  be 
pardoned. 

When  using  a  red  stain  the  bacillus  tuberculosis  will  be 
found  to  have  retained  the  red  8tam,  appearing  as  bright 
magenta  red  minute  rods,  the  acid  treatment  dissolving  the 
color  out  of  every  other  species  of  organism  except  the 
bacillus  of  leprosy. 

The  bacillus  tuberculosis  is  cultivated  with  great  difficulty 
external  to  the  animal  body,  as  it  refuses  to  grow  in  many 
of  the  media  suitable  for  other  pathogenic  organisms.  The 
most  suitable  media  are  soliditied  blood  serum  and  agar-agar, 
with  ihe  addition  of  from  six  to  eight  percent,  of  glycerine. 

Again  anot  her  peculiarity  is  the  fact  that  the  growth  of 
tubercle  bacilli  ceases  when  the  temper  tin  re  falls  below 
about  86  degrees  Fahr.,  or  rises  above  10G  degrees  Fahr. 
These  peciiliaihies  lead  to  the  conclusion  that  the  tubercle 
bacillus  belongs  in  the classof  obligatory  parasites,  because 
the  conditions  for  il«  growth,  and  multiplication  outside  the 
animal  body  can  scarcely  ever  occur  in  a  slate  of  nature,  and 
there  is,  therefore,  no  foundation  for  the  view  that  the  tubercle 
bacillus  is  ubiquitous. 

It  is  certainly  true  that  tubercle  bacilli  must  frequently 
exist  in  a  vitnl  stale  external  to  the  auiuial  body,  fur  they 
are  being  daily  excreted  by  tuberculous  men  and  animals,  but 
when  so  voided  they  cease  to  multiply,  and  probably  lose 
their  virulence  within  lees  than  one  year.  According  to  M. 
M.  Lortel  and  Despeignes  eartb  worms  can  preserve  tuber- 
i|]  f6r  several  months  in  different  regions  of  their  or* 
sanitation*,  and  thus  bring  the  microbes  infiltrated  in  their 
urface  of  the   ground.    The  above 'mentioned 

gentlemen  ha  vc  proven  l>v  the  IDDOCUlalion    of  the  fcecal   mm 

ters  that  these  tnmbrh  loeit  on   the  soil   thai   these 

worms  mav  bring  the  tubercle  bacilli   Irora  the  depths  of  the 

earth  when-  thef  have  been  deposited.  Very  deep  flower 
pots  have  bee;  tilled  with  finely  screened  peal  mould  and  tuber- 
culosis  mat  been  placed  at  the  bottom  of  these  I1"!*,  the 

lower  part  of  which  stood  in  plates  filled  with  water.  Ovei  the 
surface  of  the  pent  mould  a  layer  of  one  or  two  centimetres  of 
very  fine  while  silicoussand  was  distributed. 


The  pots  were  covered  with  leaves  of  paper.  In  the  course 
of  a  few  days  tbe  worms  came  up  and  deposited  their  excre- 
ments on  the  sandy  layer  where  it  was  possible  to  collect 
them,  avoiding  all  foreign  contamination.  These  excremen- 
tial  matters  when  inoculated  gave  rise  to  generalized  tuber- 
culois.  We  can  therefore  conclude  by  claiming  the  right  to 
athrm  that  the  lumbricoides  may  bring  to  the  surface  of  the 
soil,  with  the  products  of  their  digestion,  bacteria  which 
have  preserved  all  their  virulent  properties  intact. 

Again  it  must  be  remembered  that  tubercle  bacilli  grow 
very  slowly,  even  on  the  most  suitable  media,  and  at  the  most 
appropriate  temperature,  and  it  is  thus  very  difficult  and  fre- 
quently impossible  to  start  cultures  Irom  chronic  tubercular 
lesions  of  the  domesticated  animals.  • 

Cultivation  of  the  bacilli  is  therefore  of  no  practical  value  as  an 
aid  to  diagnosis  in  cases  ofsuspi  eted  tuberculosis.  The  essence  of 
tuberculosis  is  the  presence  of  the  specific  bacillus  in  tbe 
tissues — the  penetratiou  of  the  germ  determines  at  the  seat  of 
its  propogation  alterations  of  structure — known  as  tuberculous 
lesions;  and  it  also  excites  unre  or  less  disturbance  of  func- 
tion, either  in  consequence  of  the  development  of  actual 
lesions,  or  more  directly  in  virtue  of  poisonous  products  of 
its  own  metabolism.  The  means  of  diagnosing  tuberculosis 
can  be  summed  up  as  follows : 

1.  Detection  of  the  casual  bacillus  in  the  diseased  animal. 

2.  Clinical  examination,  or  the  recognition  in  thediseased 
animal  of  the  structural  alterations  and  functional  derange- 
ments (symptoms),  known  by  experience  to  be  characteristic 
of  tuberculosis. 

The  detection  of  tubercle  bacilli  in  the  blood  of  animals  suspected 
of  tuberculosis  during  life,  according  to  recent  investigations, 
does  not  yield  eucouraging  results,  because  the  proportion  of 
cases  of  generalized  miliary  tuberculosis  in  cattle  is  about  one 
per  cent.,  and  when  it  does  occur  a  diagnosis  can  be  made 
with  tolerable  certainty  from  the  clinical  characters  alone, 
and  thus  in  the  worst  cases  of  tuberculosis  examination  of  the 
blood  might  warrant  a  positive  diagnosis,  but  under  no  cir- 
cumstances would  it  justify  the  conclusion  that  the  animai 
was  free  from  tuberculosis. 

Detection  of  tubercle  bacilli  in  milk — Examination  of  milk 
yields  a  positive  diagnosis  in  most  cases  of  tuberculosis  of  the 
udder.  The  number  of  bacilli  present  varies.  Sometimes  they 
can  be  seen  ail  over  the  field,  and  again  careful  observation 
may  only  determine  the  presence  of  a  single  bacillus. 

The  bacilli  do  not  occur  in  great  numbers  in  milk  of  nor- 
mal appearance,  but  they  are  found  without  difficulty  when 
the  milk  is  thin  and  watery,  and  when  on  standing  it  deposits 
a  considerable  amount  of  preci  pitate.  This  class  of  milk  can 
be  somewhat  easier  examined  by  using  a  seperator  and  ex- 
amining the  sediment.  In  cases  where  the  milk  is  not  much 
altered  in  appearance,  bacilli  are  present  in  the  cream  "as  well 
as  in  the  bottom  stratum  of  milk.  Milk  can  also  be  ex- 
amined by  Johne's  method,  that  is, diluting  the  milk  to  be  ex- 
amined with  water,  adiing  acetic  acid  and  examining  the 
precipitate  thrown  down 

We  must  now  discuss  tbe  important  question,  Does  milk  ever 
or  frequently  contain  tubercle  bacilli  when  the  mammary 
gland  is  not  itself  the  seat  of  disease  ?  The  evidence  regarding 
that  question  is  as  follows : 

Ernest  claims  to  have  examined  the  milk  of  thirty-six  cows 
presenting  signs  of  tuberculosis,  but  in  which  no  signs  of 
tuberculosis  of  the  mammary  gland  were  apparent,  and  in  ten 
cases  he  delected  the  tubercle  bacilli  by  ordinary  staining 
methods.  Ernest  also  claimed  to  have  found  milk  infection  by 
inoculation  in  seven  out  of  fourteen  cows,  Hirschberger  in 
eleven  out  of  twenty  cases;  Bang  in  two  out  of  twenty-eight 
cases.  Again  on  the  other  hand,  JYocardinoculated  guinea- 
pigs  with  milk  from  eleven  tuberculous  cows  and  found  it  in- 
fective in  only  a  single  case,  and  in  this  case  the  udder  was 
the  seat  of  tuberculosis.  May  experimented  in  a  like  manner 
with  five  cases,  obtaining  negative  results. 

McFadyean  conducted  five  experiments,  in  all  of  which  he 
obtained  negative  results,  and  as  his  experiments  were  in 
harmony  with  those  of  Bang  and  Nocard,  be  came  to  the  con- 
clusion that  microscopic  examination  and  inoculation  ex- 
periments with  milk  were  quite  useless  as  a  means  of  diag- 
nosis in  cases  of  tuberculosis  with  the  lesions  elsewhere  than 
in  the  nummary  gland. 

Detection  of  Tubercle  Bacilli  in  Expectorate. — In  cattle, 
cough  is  a  frequent,  if  not  a  constant,  symptom  of  pul- 
monary tuberculosis,  and  in  the  act  of  coughing,  mucus  and 
other  matters  in  the  bronchi  are  expelled  through  the  glottis; 
these  matters  are  sometimes  ejected  by  the  mouth,  but  the 
most  of  the  expectorate  is  arrested  temporarily  in  the  mouth 
or  pharynx,  and  afterwards  swallowed.  Although  tha  im- 
mense service  to  diagnosis  rendered  by  examination  of  sputum 
in  cases  of  pulmonary  consumption  in  man  is  well  known,  it 
is,  nevertheless,  aa  uncertainty  as  far  as  cattle  are  concerned. 
McFadyeanexperimented  by  using  the  mucus  from  the  throats 
of  four  cows  (afterwards  proved  by  post-mortem  examina- 
tion to  have  tuberculous  lesions  in  the  lungs).  The  mucus 
was  obtained  by  passing  a  probing  armed  at  its  extremity 
with  a  small  sponge  back  through  the  fauces,  and  using  this 
as  a  sort  of  mop  to  the  walls  of  the  pharynx. 

McFadyean  failed  to  obtain  any  positive  results  in  three 
out  of  the  four  cows  experimented  with,  aud  concluded  that 
little  was  to  be  expected  from  a  microscopical  examiuatiou 
of  the  expectorate  in  tuberculous  cattle. 

Nocard  and  Greftier  experimented  with  pharyngeal  mucus 
from  suspected  animals  by  inoculating  it  to  guinea  pigs 
either  subeutaneously  or  intraperitoueally,  and  in  eight  out  of 
eleven  cases  it  proved  infective,  tbe  remaining  three  proving 
negative.  These  results  show  that  inoculative  experiments 
with  pharyngeal  mucus  are  more  reliable  than  the  micro- 
scopic examination  of  mucus,  but  against  the  reliability  we 
must  record  the  fact  that  it  is  too  slow  to  be  of  much  value  in 
practice,  and  it  is  of  use  to  detect  only  pulmonary  tuberculo- 
sis. 

Furthermore,  it  must  be  remembered  that  it  is  very  rare  to 
find  extensive  softening  of  lung  tissue  with  the  formation  of 
actual  cavities  in  tuberculosis  of  cattle,  and  except  in  that 
form  of  the  disease  it  is  probable  that  ihe  expectorate  never 
contains  tubercle  bacilli  in  large  numbers. 

Detection  of  tub  rcle  bacilli  in  otlicr  secretions, — In  cases  of  tu- 
berclosis  "f  the  uterus,  tubercle  bacilli  can  be  easily  found  in 
the  discharge  from  the  vulva  by  microscopical  examination, 
and  a  similar  method  might  reveal  their  presence  in  urine  or 
semen,  in  tubprculosis  of  the  kidney  or  testicle.  But  tuber- 
i  nl  :ir  lesions  of  l  be  organs  just  mentioned  form  a  very  small 
proportion,  and  hence  examination  of  the  genito  urinary  dis- 
charge for  tubercle  bacilli  i*  of  very  Utile  practical  interest. 

Exploritofy  Puncture. — This  method  was  suggested  by 
Wali.v.    In  cases  of  suspected  mammary  mastitis,  m  which 

not  a  drop  of  Secretion  can  be  obtained,  it  is  simple  to  obtain 
a  piece  of  the  inflioted  gland  with  a  hollow  exploring  needle 


and  submit  the  scrapings  to  microscopical  examination.  This 
method  can  also  be  applied  to  enlarged  and  indurated  lym- 
phatic glands  and  renders  the  diagnosis  between  the  lesions 
of  tuberculosis  and  actinomycosis,  when  a  differential  diag- 
nosis canno*  otherwise  be  obtained. 

The  greatest  objection  to  the  use  of  exploratory  diagnosis  is 
the  owner,  because  those  who  obiect  to  an  inspection  of  their 
cows  are  not  likely  to  sanction  an  operation,  although,  when 
properly  performed,  it  is  simple  and  harmless. 

Diagnosis  of  Tuberculosis  by  ordinary  clinical  methods. — A 
veterinary  surgeon  is  often  placed  in  a  peculiar  predica- 
ment in  regard  to  tuberculosa.  First,  he  may  be  called  upon 
to  give  a  differential  diagnosis  in  the  case  of  an  animal  al- 
ready ill,  and  his  advice  is  sought  by  an  owner.  Second,  he 
may,  as  Veterinary  Inspector,  be  called  upon  to  detect  disease 
in  animals  reported  to  be  healthy.  In  studying  these  two 
conditions  we  must  consider,  first,  what  are  the  lesions  com- 
monly found  on  the  post-mortem  of  animals  dying  from  tu- 
cerculosis  or  slaughtered  in  the  last  stage?  Second,  what 
are  the  most  common  lesions  in  cattle  killed  in  the  ordinary 
way  for  food  and  supposed  to  be  healthy  at  the  time  of 
slaughter? 

Regarding  the  first  point  it  may  safely  be  asserted  that 
the  lungs  are  the  seat  of  eighty  per  cent  of  the  lesions  on 
which  the  owner  calls  the  veterinary  surgeon,  and  again  it 
is  equally  well-known  in  cases  that  are  fatal,  the  lesions  are 
by  no  means  confined  to  the  lungs.  The  bronchical  lymph 
glands,  the  mediastinal  lymph  gland.*-,  the  pleura-peritoneum 
as  well  as  the  presternal  and  suprasternal  lymph  glands  are 
generally  also  affected.  In  some  cases  also  pulmunary  tu- 
berculosis is  associated  with  disease  of  the  mesenteric  glands 
liver,  kidney  or  mammary  gland. 

Regardiog  the  second  question,  recent  investigation  in  Ger- 
many has  proved  that  the  disease  is  exceedingly  common  in 
cattle  that  pass  for  healthy  at  the  time  of  slaughter.  In 
Leipzig,  the  proportion  runs  as  high  as  thirty-three  per  cent, 
of  alt  adult  cattle,  and  in  Great  Britain  twelve  per  cent,  of 
the  cattle  killed  under  the  pleuropneumonia  slaughter  order 
of  1890-91  were  found  to  be  tuberculuus.  An  absolutely  cer- 
tain diagnosis  can  seldom  or  never  be  made  by  ordinary  clini- 
cal methods,  but  in  the  pulmonary  form  of  disease.  History 
of  the  case,  emaciation,  symptoms  of  lung  disease,  evidence  of, 
yielded  by  percussion  and  auscaltation,  make  up  a  picture 
that  can  be  confounded  with  that  afforded  by  few  other  dis- 
eases. 

Temperature. — The  question,  if  thermo-metric  observations 
are  of  any  use  in  diagnosis,  must  now  be  answered  in  the  neg- 
ative. The  great  majority  of  animals  (that  is,  every  case,  no 
matter  how  slightly  affected),  have  a  perfectly  nominal  tem- 
perature, or  one  that  varies  bo  little  that  it  is  of  no  diagnostic 
value.  The  hundreds  of  observations  published  in  tubercu- 
lin experiments,  place  these  conclusions  beyond  dispute. 

Physical  examination  of  the  client. — This  is  of  little  use  in  de- 
tecting lesions  that  are  not  manifested  by  actual  symptoms. 
You  cannot  detect  tubercular  changes  in  the  bronchial  or 
mediastinal  lymph  glands  or  small  lesions  in  the  lungs  by 
auscaltation  and  percussion,  and  those  are  often  the  only  ex- 
isting lesions  while  the  animal  retains  tbe  ordinary  signs  of 
health. 

Physical  Examination  of  the  Abdomen. — In  cattle  rectal  ex- 
ploration sometimes  assists  in  the  detection  of  extensive  perl- 
suclit  growths  on  the  peritoneum. 

Examination  of  the  Superficial  Groups  of  Lymphatic  Glands. — 
The  characters  of  the  lymphatic  enlargements  are  not  so  dis- 
tinct as  those  of  the  udder  lesions  in  tubercular  mastitis;  how- 
ever, enlargements  of  the  submaxillary,  parntideal,  pre.-capu- 
lar  and  precrural  groups  is  easily  detected,  but  these  groups 
are  affected  in  only  a  small  proportion  of  cases.  It  may  be 
asserted  that  when  glandular  enlargements  exists,  it  is  suspi- 
picious,  and  onecan  have  recourse  to  the  exploratory  method 
already  mentioned,  and  a  positive  diagnosis  obtained,  but  ab- 
sence of  any  discoverable  alteration  in  the  groups  of  glands 
that  can  be  felt  during  life  does  not  prove  that  the  animal  is 
free  from  tuberculosis  in  the  deeper  parts  of  the  body. 

The  conclusion  from  the  above-mentioned  methods  of  diag- 
nosis is  that  ordinary  clinical  examination  is  almost  value- 
less for  the  detection  of  tuberculosis  in  its  early  stage. 

Tuberculin  an  aid  to  diagnosis — This  material, which  is  greatly 
used  as  a  diagnostic  aid  in  suspected  cases  of  tuberculosis,  is 
a  glycerine  extract  of  a  pure  culture  of  tubercle  bacilli. 
Tuberculin  has  been  used,  according  to  recent  reports,  by 
European  veterinary  surgeons  and  American  veterinary  sur- 
geons, as  also  in  Great  Britain,  with  great  success  as  a  diag- 
nostic agent  in  bovine  tuberculosis,  and  McFadyean  has  re- 
cently conducted  some  interesting  experiments  in  England  on 
twenty-three  animals,  comprising  a  herd  of  Jersey  cattle,  the 
property  of  Lord  Spencer.  Previous  to  tbe  use  of  tuberculin 
two  animals  had  died,  and  a  post-mortem  revealed  the  cause 
of  death  to  be  tuberculosis. 

The  remaining  tweuty-tbree  animals  were  so  healthy  look- 
ing that  it  was  with  an  idea  of  saving  the  healthy  animals 
that  it  was  decided  to  make  use  of  tbe  tuberculin  test  to 
weed  out  the  infected  animals,  as  ordinary  clinical  examina- 
tion was  of  little  service. 

Each  of  the  animals  was  inoculated  with  tuberculin  on  the 
side  of  the  chest  close  behind  the  elbow,  and  the  general  re- 
sult of  the  inoculation  was  truly  startling,  tor  viewing  a  rise  of 
temperature  to  103  degrees  Fahr.  or  over  as  a  reaction  indi- 
dative  of  tuberculosis,  it  appeared  not  a  single  individual  in 
the  herd  was  free  from  disease.  Now  in  order  to  proceed 
with  caution,  two  of  the  injected  animals  with  pronounced 
thermal  reaction  and  described  as  the  picture  of  health  were 
slaughtered,  and  both  found  to  be  affected  with  tuberculosis. 
The  discovery  of  tubercular  lesions  in  two  of  the  healthiest 
animals  apart  from  the  tuberculin  reaction'in  the  others,  in- 
dicated a  most  serious  degree  of  contamination  in  tbe  herd, 
and  Lord  Spencer  decided  to  have  the  remainder  of  the  herd 
slaughtered. 

The  post-mortem  examination  revealed  tubercular  lesions 
in  every  one  of  the  twenty-three  animals,  and  since  in  all 
cases  after  injection  the  temperature  arose  to  103  degrees  or 
more,  the  result  appears  favorable  to  tuberculin  as  a  means 
of  diagnosis.  In  order  to  prevent  any  suggestion  or  question 
that  the  tuberculin  would  have  excited  a  like  reaction  in 
non-tuberculous  animals  had  there  been  any  such  in  the 
herd,  two  animals  were  tested  with  the  remainder  of  the 
tuberculin  used  on  the  previously-mentioned  twenty-three 
animals,  the  same  dose  being  given. 

In  one  animal,  No.  24,  the  temperature  rose  to  105  G  degieea 
after  injection.  No  suspicion  was  entertained  that  this 
animal  was  tuberculous,  but  the  post-mortem  verified  the  ac- 
curacy of  ihe  indication.  In  the  other  animal,  No.  25,  the 
temperature  rose  to  102. S  degrees  and,  although  it  was  a 
very  consumptive-looking  individual,  no  tubercular  lesions 
could  be  discovered  in  it  after  death.

These  conclusions,  as  well  as  the  favorable  results  reported 
by  Continental  investigations,  place  the  diagnostic  value  of 
tuberculin  beyond  doubt. 

It  is  well  known  that  veterinary  surgeons  who  have  had 
much  experience  admit  their  absolute  inability  to  diagnose 
tuberculosis  in  its  early  st3ges  by  ordinary  clinical  methods, 
and,  as  McFadyean  states,  "only  two  courses  are  open  to  the 
practitioner  when  he  is  consulted  regarding  the  means  of  eradicating 
tuberculosis  from  a  herd,  viz.,  to  confess  impotence^  or  recommend 
the  owner  to  subject  every  animal  to  the  tuberculin  test." 

I  have  used  tuberculin  recently  with  favorable  results,  and 
regard  it  as  valuable  an  aid  in  doubtful  cases  of  tuberculosis 
as  mallein  is  in  glanders.  These  two  re-agents  relieve  the 
practitioner  from  a  great  responsibility.Jand  also  place  him 
in  a  position  to  give  a  decided  opinion,  and  remove  all  ani- 
mals that  are  a  source  of  danger  to  mankind. 

The  danger  of  the  milk-  and  flesh  of  tuberculous  animals  as  arti- 
cles of  human  food.     1.  Milk — Opinions  regarding  the  danger 
of  milk  from  tuberculous  cows  are  at  the  present  day  almost 
unanimous.     It  cannot  be  denied  that  tuberculosis  of  the 
cow's  udder  is  of   frequent  occurrence,  and    that    tubercle 
bacilli  are  present  in  the  milk.     Sucb  milk  invariable  proves 
infective  when  susceptible  animals  are  experimentally  fed 
with  it,  and  there  is  every  reason  to  fear  that  the  result  is  the 
same  when  it  is  unwittingly  consumed  by  human   beings. 
The  only  uncertain  point  is  whether  milk  may  be  infective 
while  the  mammary  gland  itself  is  still  apparently  healthy.  In 
;    view  of  the  positive  results  obtained  with  the  milk  of  cows 
■    in  which  no  udder  lesion  could  be  detected,  it  cannot  be 
\    asserted  that  the  milk  is  devoid  of  danger  even  when  the 
tuberculosis  is  slight  and  apparently  confined  to  some  organ 
;    remote  from  the  udder.    At  the  same  time,  tubercle  bacilli 
;    mav  onlv  be  present  in  milk  in  cases  of  general  tuberculosis, 
or  when  tuberculous  lesions  exist  in  the  udder  itself.     The 
i   danger  to  human  beings  is  even  tnen  a  most  serious   one. 
'    There  are  two  methods  by  which  the  danger  may  be  reduced 
to  a  minimum  or  altogether  removed. 

1.  Baising  the  milk  to  a  temperature  necessary  to  insure 
the  death  of  the  bacilli  or  their  spores.  According  to  Bang, 
milk  rich  in  tubercle  bacilli  is  rendered  non-inflicting  by  a 

[\  short  exposure  to  a  temperature  of  85  deg.  C. 

2.  By  the  simple  precaution  of  steaming  the  milk  for  a  few 
minutes,  everyone  can  defend  himself  against  the  danger  of 
contracting  tuberculosis  through  this  common   and  almost 

t  necessary  article  of  diet. 

This  latter  injunction  applies  especially  to  the  case  of  milk 
intended  for  the  nourishment  of  infants.     Ashby  aod  Wright 
i  in  their  work  on  The  Diseases  of  Children  tell  us  that  75  per 
I  cent  of  the  children  who  die  of  tubercle  give  evidence  of  the 
i    disease  either  in  the  intestinal  mucous  membrane  or  mesen- 
[  teric  glands.    These  children  get  tubercle  through  the  intes- 
i    tinal  canal,  through  the  milk,  the  great  uncooked  food.     Many 
I  people,  and  particularly  town's  people,  have  the  idea  that  the 
milk  of  a  single  cow  is  preferable  to  the  mixed  milk  of  a 
dairv  for  the  feeding  of  children,  and  particularly  of  weakly 
children.     Many  people  order  the  milk  of  one  cow,  it  is  put 
*    in  a  small  can  and  delivered  to  the  purchaser  as  soon  as  possi- 
ble after  it  is  drawn,  in  order  that  the  purchaser  may  receive 
it  in  a  warm  condition.     Now,  and  here  lies  the  danger,  if 
',    this  one  cow  should  be  effected  with  tuberculosis,  and  the 
.    milk  given  to  anv  child  warm  from  the  udder,  it  clearly  fol- 
i    lows  that  the  bacilli  in  the  milk  are  in  a  state  of  much  greater 
activity  and  vitality  than  they  would  be  if  the  milk  had  been 
cooled,  while  they  are  also  much  more  numerous  than  if  the 
i    milk  bad  been  mixed  with  that  of  a  moderately  sound  dairy. 
.   The  milk  of  this  one  cow,  therefore,  if  she  be  affected  with 
tuberculosis  and  particularly  if  it  be  given  to  a  child  with 
I  its  animal  heat  but  little  reduced,  is  directly  calculated  to 
o  convey  the  disease  to  the  delicate  child  for  which  the  milk  is 
8  so  carefully  provided.     In  view  of  these  facts  parents  solici- 
\  tous  of  obtaining  one  cow's  milk  for  their  delicate  children 
would  do  well  to  see  that  the  same  is  thoroughly  sterilized 
before  use. 

There  is,  however,  no  doubt  that  the  public  have  a  right  to 
t  demand  that  when  they  purchase  what  purports  to  be  whole- 
some milk,  that  article  of  food  should  not  have  mixed  with  it 
the  germs  of  a  deadly  disease. 

Absolute  assurance  that  milk  is  free  from  tubercle  bacilli 
is  probably  not  attainable,  but  at  the  same  time  it  would  not 
be  difficult  to  frame  and  carry  out  regulations  lhat  would  to 
a  great  extent  minimise  the  present  risk.  McFadyean  recom- 
mends that  all  milch  cowa  ought  to  be  submitted  to  a  veteri- 
nary examination  at  intervals  of  not  more  than  a  fortnight 
(perhaps  this  would  entail  too  much  labor  m  this  State,  and 
once  every  three  months  be  enough),  and  everjr  dairy-keeper 
ought  to  be  interdicted  from  selling  the  milk  from  a  eow  that 
d  in  the  opinion  of  the  veterinary  inspector  is  the  subject  of 
;uberculosis  in  any  organ  of  the  body.  Should  any  one,  and 
[  have  no  doubt  many  in  this  State  will  exclaim,  why  these 
■estrietioos  on  the  sale  of  milW  are  too  harassing  for  the  dairy- 
nen.  However,  it  is  well  to  call  attention  to  the  fact  that 
:onditions  much  more  stringent  have  been  imposed  upon  the 
:ow-owners  supplying  milk  to  some  of  the  largest,  and  most 
irofitable,  dairy  companies  in  the  world,  notably  the  Copeo- 
lagen  Milk  Supply  Co. 

How  different  the  conditions  are  in  Europe  to  the  semi- 
nspection  indulged  in  in  thisStale,  and  I  speak  from  experi- 
mce,  for  when  1  tilled  the  office  of  veterinarian  to  the  Board  of 
health  of  San  Francisco,  I  found  it  a  difficult  matter  to  get 
"1  of  the  tuberculous  animals,  and  I  was  astounded  in  read- 
l  a  few  weeks  ago  that  this  important  duty  has  now  de- 
nerated,  so  that  it  is  capable  of  being  fulfilled  by  a  market 
■peelor.  It  is  a  difficult  position  for  ajthoroughly  educated 
eterinarian  to  fulfill, and  it  certainly  seems  strange  that  men 
nth  no  professional  training  can  accomplish  a  duty  of  so 
luch  importance  to  the  public  health. 
Now  that  we  have  such  a  valuable  re-agent  as  tubrrculin, 
lere  is  no  excuse  for  further  delay.  What  we  desire  to  know 
i  our  State  officials  is 

1.  To  what  extent  does  tuberculosis  prevail  in  our  cattle 
Preferably  milch  stock)  and  the  exact  proportion  in  this 
late? 

2.  What  are  the  losses  caused  by  it? 

3.  What  amount  of  milk  is  sold  from  such  cows  in  this 
ate? 


American  Register  Association. 


Monroe  Salisbury  Arrives. 

On  the  Eastern  train  last  Monday,  Monroe  Salisbury  ar- 
rived from  his  flying  trip  to  New  York.  He  stopped  at  Sac- 
ramento long  enough  to  take  a  look  at  the  race  track  and 
congratulate  Superintendent  Hancock  on  its  appearance, 
saying  it  was,  without  doubt,  in  finer  condition  than  be  bad 
rulings  of  the  Executive  Committee  in  the  past  six  months  ever  seen  it,  and  for  working  horses  on,  he  did  not  know  of  a 
prove  the  figure  quoted  to  be  if  anything  below  the  actual  better  in  America,  not  even  excepting  his  own  track  at  Pleas- 
amount.  When  the  association  was  formed  in  1S91  the  secre-  [  anton. 


In  the  past  three  years  it  has  cost  the  trottiog-horse  breed- 
ers, or  to  be  more  accurate,  the  stockholders  of  the  American 
Trotting  Register  Association  over  $20,000  to  educate  its 
salaried  officials  and  learn  a  few  lessons  in  economy.  This 
may,  at  first  glance,   sound  a  trifle  out  of  the  way,  but  .he 


tary  and  Registrar  "was    given  a    salary    of  §3,000   a  year,  ' 
while  a  suite  of  offices  was  leased  at  $3,600  a  year.     In  three 
years  those  two  items  amounted  to  $19,S00.     Some  time  ago 
the  Registrar,  which  a  few  of  the  directors  have  at  different 
times  referred  to  as  a  "  figure  head,"  was  asked  to  shade  his 


In  an  interview,  he  said  the  weather  in  the  East  was  bitter 
cold  when  he  arrived  there,  and  the  market  for  horses  was 
"  up  and  down."  The  demand  for  good  horses,  those  that 
could  show  speed,  was  not  all  supplied  yet,  but  there  seemed 
to  be  no  call  for  stallions,  while   broodmares  in   foal  to  the 


his  salary.     After  some    discussion    he  agreed   to  drop   to    best  stallions  in  the   land, did  not  bring  near  their  value. 


$2,000,  but  not  a  ceut  less  A  little  healthy  competition,  how- 
ever, induced  that  gentleman  to  think  differently,  as  Wednes- 
day afternoon  he  was  engaged  for  1894  at  a  salary  of  $1,200. 
A  change  of  location  in  the  office  also  resulted  in  sufficient 
space  being  secured  for  $1,000  a  year.  This  is  something 
that  the  stockholders  should  be  thankful  for,  as  now  the 
Registrar  and  office  rent  will  cost  the  same  amount  for  three 
years  as  was  paid  in  the  past  for  a  short  twelve  months.  It 
is  just  possible  that  it  might  be  considered  cruel  to  urge  that 
the  difference  $13,200,  was  spent  in  educating  the  officials 
whograduated  with  reduced  salaries  this  year. 

At  the  annual  meeting  it  was  admitted  that  Wallace's 
Monthly  was  published  at  a  loss  of  $2,500  a  year,  making  the 
figures  for  three  years  $7,500.     It  is  also  known  that  in  Octo-

In  reply  to  thequesiion  ?  "  Did  you  bring  any  mares  from 
there  to  be  bred  to  Direct,"  Mr.  Salisbury  said  :

pick  them  out  this  trip;  besides,  the  little  black  rascal  will 
have  plenty  to  do  and  I  have  to  go  easy  with  him.  His  stock 
from  California  mares  will  do  him  no  discredit,  although  I 
would  have  liked  to  have  had  some  fashionably  bred  mares

ber,  1892,  F.  Perkins  of  Providence,  R.  I.,  offered  $5,000  for  horses  in  the  East.  He  may  get  defeated.  No  one  can  tell ;

nine  months  later  the  old  magazine  that  was  at  one  time  a 
power  in  the  land  found  a  grave  uoder  a  snow-bank.  The 
most  ridiculous  part  of  this  whole  aflair,  however,  was  the  re- 
peated statement  of  the  directors  that  there  was  no  longer  a 
place  for  the  Monthly  in  the  horse  world  on  account  of  the 
daily  and  weekly  publications  covering  the  field.  On  the  other 
band,  it  is  well  known  that  a  magazine  of  its  character  had 
not  one-tenth  of  the  opposition  as  such  valuable  properties 
as  the  Cosmopolitan,  Scribner's,  or  Review  of  Reviews.  The 
ability  to  conduct  sucb  a  publication  was  the  minus  quantity 
and  the  bundles  of  lauje  excuses  poured  out  was  nothing  I 
more  than  a  plaster  to  cover  up  the  lack  of  what  Judge  Oli-  > 
ver  terms  "  newspapereal  enterprise." 

It  would  be  cruel  at  this  time  to  refer  to  the  excessive 
prices  paid  for  the  first  two  Year  Books  published  by  the  As- 
sociation and  also  one  of  the  volumes  of  the  Trotting  Regis- 
ter, as  all  of  that  is  now  buried  in  the  dead  past,  The  future 
is  ready  to  be  tapped  and  the  stockholders  of  the  Association 
can  now  rest  assured  that  everything  has  been  filtered  down 


hardened  campaigner  that  will  catch  him  unawares  and  slip 
in  and  beat  him  Of  course,  these  are  all  chances,  but  they 
may  occur.  If  be  is  in  first-class  fix  he  will  give  a  good  ac- 
count of  himself  in  the  best  of  company,  but  this  idea  of  bar- 
ring him,  or  any  other  great  horse,  is  an  erroneous  one  and 
will  not  help  the  trotting  horse  industry." 

Mr.  Salisbury  says  he  will  send  his  horses  East  about  tbe 
middle  of  May  and  make  his  first  halt  at  Denver  for  the 
spring  meeting  at  Overland  Park.  Then  he  will  go  further 
on  to  Saginaw,  then  through  the  great  Eastern  circuit. 


Trotting  in  England  is  finding  favor  with  a  better  class 
of  people  every  year,  and  1894  promises  to  be  the  banner  sea- 
son in  the  history  of  harness  sport  on  the  other  side  of  the 
Atlantic.  It  has  been  conceded  that  until  the  ridiculous 
practice  of  distance  handicapping  trotting  horses  was  done 
away  with,  the  harness  horses  would  fail  to  attract  much  at- 
tention in  the  tight  little  island.  It  is  pleasing  to  notice 
that  the  sentiment  in  class  gradation  is  growing  every  day, 
to  hard  pan.  A  few  may  flinch  under  the  reductions  that  will  and  that  in  a  challenge  which  has  recently  been  issued,  spe- 
be  made  at  an  early  date,  but  the  stockholders  will  reap  the  cial  attention  is  called  to  the  advisability  of  instituting  this 
benefits.  The  campaign  of  education  has  closed.  It  came  sentiment  of  equalizing  tbe  chances  of  contesting  horses.  The 
high,  but  like  all  other  luxuries,  the  sport-loving  Americans  British  public  will  put  up  with  a  great  deal,  aod  is  willing  to 
must  have  it.  It  footed  up  to  $13,200  plus  $7,500  and  a  few  go  along  in  a  hum-drum  way,  but  it  knows  a  good  thing  when 
other  matters,  but  this  state  of  affairs  will  never  be  heard  of  it  sees  it,  and  discriminates  keenly  in  favor  of  any  method 
again  unless  some  discontented  spirit  refers  to  it  while  in  a  which  adds  to  the  interest  of  the  sport  which  it  patronizes,

It  may  be  that  all  you  need  lo  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use 
an  impregnalor.  It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  ini-

Tin:  dry  spell  of  weather  continue"  and  the  priee  of 
hay  in  the  lower  and  central  portions  of  California  has 
taken  a  decided  upward  jump  during  the  pant  three  weeks. 
It  wan  Belling  for  *1 1  a  ton  ;  it  is  now  held  by  the  dealers 
and  fan.  and   -  20,  and  the  limit  has  not  been 

reached.  I'  a  good  rainstorm  comes  it  will  be  welronic 
to  every  farmer,  stockman,  merchant  and  business  man 
in  California. 


No  Puree  Less  Than  $1,000! 


Foremost,  in  presenting  ideas  which  meet  the 
approval  of  horsemen,  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders  Association,  by  giving  large  sums  of 
money  for  the  races  which  are  to  take  place  at  their  fall 
meeting,  stimulated  all  other  associations  in  California 
and  set  an  example  for  them  to  follow  which  has  proved 
very  successful  to  date. 

The  encouragement  given  the  directors  of  this  associa- 
tion by  the  horsemen  on  this  Coast,  in  their  endeavors 
to  make  the  fall  meeting  one  of  the  greatest  and  most 
successful  ever  held  in  California,  has  prompted  them  to 
present  a  programme  for  the  summer  meeting  which  we 
have  every  reason  to  believe  will  merit  the  approbation 
of  every  lover  of  the  light  harness  horse,  as  well  as  every 
owner  and  driver  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

No  purses  less  fhan  $1,000  would  be  a  startling  an- 
nouncement, even  when  the  trotting  and  pacing  horses 
were  selling  at  figures  far  beyond  their  true  value,  but 
to-day,  when  the  interest  in  breeding  is  at  a  standstill, 
such  a  splendid  offer  will  cause  a  return  of  the  old  feel- 
ing of  confidence,  and  cause  horsemen  to  take  a  greater 
interest  in  the  money-making  capacities  of  their  colts 
and  fillies  than  ever.  Every  one  knows  by  this  time 
that  horses  with  records  are  of  more  value  than  those 
without,  provided,  they  have  good  level  heads,  color  and 
size,  and  are  well  trained.  Heretofore,  it  did  not  pay  to 
train  colts  for  the  sums  offered  by  many  of  the  associa- 
tions, but  that  day  has  past.  The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association 
was  the  first  to  recognize  this  fact,  and  it  is  to  the  interest 
of  every  horse  owner  that  the  organization  be  supported 
in  this  work.  By  making  liberal  entries  the  chances  for 
having  good  racing  are  increased,  and,  as  it  often  hap- 
pens, the  one  that  is  considered  "  by  the  talent "  as  not 
fast  enough  to  win,  surprises  every  one  by  getting  first 
monev  even  among  those  that  were  looked  upon  as  in- 
vincible. 

If  any  Eastern  organization  was  to  offer  such  large 
amounts  for  every  race  to  be  given  at  their  meetings,  the 
turf  journals  and  the  newspapers  would  be  filled  with  ac- 
counts of  the  enterprise,  but  here  inCalifornia  we  all  know 
of  the  unity  of  feeling  which  pervades  among  horsemen, 
and  therefore  are  content  to  call  their  attention  to  the 
announcement  in  our  columns,  kuowing  that  they  will 
be  quick  to  take  advantage  of  it. 

As  a  larger  number  of  young  horses  are  in  training 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  at  present  than  at  any  similar 
season  in  its  history,  all  owners  and  trainers  feel 
that  their  preliminary  work  will  b°.  in  vain  if  the 
Associations  do  not  give  them  an  opportunity  to  make 
sums  large  enough  to  be  worthy  of  racing  for.  The  P. 
C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  inaugurated  a  system  of  races  to 
suit  these  cases  at  their  fall  meeting,  and  the  Golden 
Gate  Association  followed  its  example,  and  now  it  pre- 
sents a  programme  of  races  at  which  SIS, 800  will  be 
given  at  the  opening  meeting  so  that  no  complaints  of 
its  lack  of  liberality  can  be  made. 

Many  of  our  horsemen  who  have  made  arrangements 
to  go  East  will  wish  they  had  remained  when  they  see 
this  announcement,  but  their  absence  from  the  State 
will  only  make  the  field  clearer  for  all  who  remain.  As 
entries  will  close  May  1st,  we  urge  every  horse  owner, 
trainer  and  driver  to  do  their  utmost  to  make  entries.  It 
is  not  necessary  to  send  money  !witb  the  entry.  That  pro- 
viso is  pretty  well  understood  and  appreciated  by  all,  as 
it  was  adopted  for  the  other  meeting  and  proved  a 
welcome  one  to  all  who  have  colts  or  fillies  in  training. 
Read  the  advertisement  carefully  and  make  your  entries 
at  once. 


The  Terre  Haute  Fair. 


Around  no  other  track  in  America  does  such  a  halo  of 
light  seem  to  shine  for  horsemen  as  the  track  at  Terre 
Haute.  I'pon  its  smooth  surface  Nancy  Hanks,  the 
peerless  queen  of  the  turf,  made  her  memorable  mile  in 
2:04  and  every  other  champion  that  has  startled  the  trot- 
ting world  by  wonderful  exhibitions  of  extreme  speed, 
has  beaten  time  over  it.  The  Mecca  of  horsemen  and 
thl  home  of  the  game  campaigners,  is  far-famed  Terre 
Haute.  The  directors  of  the  association  are  not  "behind 
the  times  "  in  liberality,  and  every  year  they  seem  to  be 
striving  harder  and  harder  to  make  the  horsemen  under- 
stand that  i:  will  pay  them  to  make  entries.  This  year 
as  can  be  seen  by  the  advertisement  in  this  issue,  it  will, 
be  noticed  that  they  oiler  thirteen  purses,  aggregating 
$00,500,  embracing  trotters  and  pacers.  Four  of  the 
purses  are  for  $5,000  each  and  six  are  for  $2,000.  The 
remaining  purses  are  for  $1,500  each.  First  payment 
must  be  made  April  16.  In  Nos.  1,  2,  3  and  4,  each  for 
$6,000,  entries  are  transferable  up   to  July  16,  at  which 


time  horses  must  be  named.  In  the  other  purses  two  or 
more  horses  may  be  entered  by  one  nominator  by  pay- 
ing  the  entrance  fee  on  each  horse  ;  after  that  and  until 
the  fourth  payment,  payment  on  one  only  in  the  class 
keeps  the  other  entries  alive.  July  16,  payment  must  be 
made  on  each  horse  that  nominator  desires  to  keep  eli- 
gible. Read  the  announcement  for  all  other  informa- 
tion. At  this  meeting  the  four- year-old  futurity  (now 
aggregating  $20,000),  guaranteed  $11,500;  the  three- 
year-old  futurity,  $11,500  guaranteed  and  the  two-year- 
old  futurity,  $10,000  guaranteed,  will  also  be  trotted. 
This  is  the  last  notice,  as  entries  close  on  Monday,  April 
16th.  Entry  blanks  can  be  had  at  this  office.  Remem- 
ber this  is  the  greatest  harness  race  meeting  ever  offered 
the  American  public,  and  as  a  large  number  of  horse- 
men in  California  intend  to  go  through  the  Eastern  cir- 
cuit, we  earnestly  recommend  them  to  make  entries  at 
this  meeting.  They  cannot  afford  to  miss  it.  The  races 
will  take  place  August  13  to  18.  Read  the  advertise- 
ment and  act  at  once. 


The  Horse  Show. 


In  the  month  of  November  a  horse  show  will  be  held 
at  the  Mechanic's  Pavilion  in  this  city  which  promises 
to  surpass  anything  of  the  kind  ever  held  outside  of  New 
York  City.  It  will  be  given  on  the  same  basis  as  that 
shown  in  the  Knickerbocker  City,  and  from  present  in- 
dications it  will  be  "the  "  society  event  of  the  year. 
The  president  is  Henry  J.  Crocker,  and,  with  Mr.  Irwin 
as  an  assistant,  nothing  is  being  left  undone  to  make  it  a 
great  success.  Harnesses  and  carriages  of  the  latest 
styles  will  be  brought  from  the  East,  and  everything 
from  the  lightest  buggy  to  four-in-hand  coaches  will  be 
seen.  Exhibitions  of  jumping  and  fancy  riding  will  be 
given.  Trotting  horses,  the  most  famous  in  Califor- 
nia, sires,  broodmares  and  campaigners  will  appear,  for 
it  will  be  after  the  circuit  ends.  Valuable  prizes  will  be 
offered  for  the  best,  and  an  enthusiasm  will  be  aroused 
that  must  be  productive  of  much  good  to  this  great  and 
growing  industry. 

Arrangements  will  be  made  to  exhibit  Ormonde,  Sal- 
vator,  Firenzi  and  a  number  of  other  famous  thorough- 
breds, besides  coach  stallions  and  hackneys. 

A  splendid  band  will  be  engaged,  and  the  private  boxes 
which  are  now  being  sold  will  be  filled  with  the  elite  of 
California.  This  is  the  first  time  anything  of  this  kind 
has  been  attempted  in  California,  but  judging  by  the  suc- 
cess of  similar  shows  in  the  Eastern  States  there  need  be 
no  fears  regarding  the  result  of  this.  Many  of  our 
wealthiest  and  most  influential  citizens  compose  the 
Board  of  Directors,  and  they  are  all  working  in  harmony 
to  place  California  in  the  place  wh»re  she  belongs  in  the 
front  rank  of  all  the  horse-breeding  countries  in  the 
world. 


Over  $100,000  in  Stakes  and  Purses. 

Entries  for  the  great  Montana  circuit  will  close  next 
Monday,  April  16th.  Horsemen  contemplating  visiting 
this  wealthy  and  prosperous  section  of  the  "  far  West  " 
with  their  strings  of  horses  should  send  their  entries  on 
at  once.  The  programme  appears  in  another  column  of 
this  issue,  and  we  can  vouch  for  everyone  attending  the 
races  there  having  a  splendid  time,  and  recommend  ail 
who  intend  to  go  through  the  California  circuit,  com- 
mencing with  the  State  Fair,  to  make  arrangements  to 
go  to  Montana  first  and  return  in  time  to  finish  up  their 
season's  racing  here.  Read  the  advertisement  and  make 
your  entries  now. 


Sale  of  The  Guenoo  Yearlings. 


The  attention  of  our  readers  is  called  to  the  sale  of 
thoroughbred  yearlings  from  the  Guenoc  Stock  Farm. 
The  sale  will  take  place  in  this  city  April  30th.  The 
youngsters  to  be  offered  are  by  the  well-bred  sires,  St. 
Saviour  and  Greenback,  out  of  the  broodmares  that  were 
so  carefully  selected  for  their  breeding  and  individuality 
to  stock  this  great  farm.  This  will  be  the  last  opportun- 
ity buyers  will  have  to  get  such  grandly-bred  youngster!, 
for  the  stallions  have  been  sent  away  and  the  mares  sold 
and  scattered  everywhere.  Send  for  a  catalogue  to 
Killip  and  Co.,  auctioneers,  22  Montgomery  street. 


Over  $70,000  is  wagered  daily  at  the  Bay  District 
track.  This  does  not  look  much  like  "  hard  times.' 
The  liberal  way  running  races  are  supported  in  this  city 
surprises  everyone. 

Henry  Pierce  this  week  announces  his  forthcoming 
sale  of  horses  and  cattle  which  is  to  take  place  in 
this  city  sometime  in  May,  Further  particulars  will  be 
published  later.

The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  State  Agricultural  So- 
ciety believes  in  giving  rich  stakes  for  youngsters  in  or- 
der to  encourage  the  breeders  of  trotting  horses.  Id  this 
issue  they  publish  an  announcement  to  that  effect  that 
will  meet  with  the  approval  of  every  horseman  in  Cali- 
fornia, and  no  doubt  a  large  list  of  entries  will  be  made. 
The  price  of  entries  is  very  low,  tnus  another  inducement 
is  offered  horsemen  to  encourage  them  to  have  their  colts 
and  fillies  engaged  in  valuable  states.  Besides  this, 
owners  can,  without  a  heavy  outlay,  be  enabled  to  see 
whether  it  will  pay  them  to  train  their  colts  further 
before  making  the  second  payment.  The  rule  is  an  ex- 
cellent  one  and  should  be  adopted  by  all  associations  of- 
fering futurity  stakes. 


The  first  number  of  the  American  Horseman  and 
Sportsman,  published  in  New  York  City,  has  been 
received.  It  is  typographically  neat  and  editorially 
independent  and  fearless.  There  is  a  fitting  place  for 
just  such  a  journal  at  this  time,  and  if  it  is  conducted  on 
the  lines  planned,  success  will  surely  crown  the  efforts 
of  its  managers.     We  welcome  it  to  our  desk. 


Rio  Alto,  our  valued  correspondent,  sends  us  one  of 
the  most  complete  and  interesting  descriptions  of  a 
broodmare  and  her  produce  we  have  ever  read.  As  the 
matron  is  the  famous  Beautiful  Bells,  we  know  our  read- 
ers will  be  anxious  to  read  it,  but  owing  to  the  fact  that 
it  came  too  late  for  this  issue,  it  will  appear  next  week. 


Remember  the  great  sale  at  Palo  Alto  takes  place 
April  26th  at  the  famous  farm.  All  who  are  seeking 
material  for  campaigning  or  roadster  purposes  should 
attend  the  sale.  Geldings  that  show  speed  bring  highei 
prices  than  stallions  or  broodmares  to-day,  provided  they 
have  all  the  requirements  gentlemen  drivers  are  seeking. 


The  list  of  entries  for  the  blue  ribbon  meeting  of  the 
Golden  Gate  Association  has  not  arrived  from  the 
"Athens  of  the  Pacific/'  to  be  published  in  this  issue.  We 
are  promised  the  list  fur  next  week,  however.  The  Board 
of  Directors  had  not  met  to  pass  upon  the  list  at  the 
hour  of  going  to  press. 


The  San  Joaquin  Valley  Agricultural  Association 
publishes  the  advertisement  of  the  Colt  Stakes  to  bt- 
contested  for  at  the  annual  fair  at  Stockton  this  fall  in 
this  issue.  Entries  will  close  May  10th.  Blanks  ma> 
be  had  at  this  office. 


Owing  to  the  rush  of  other  matter  this  week  the  en- 
try list  for  Colorado  and  San  Jose  had  to  be  omitted. 
They  will  appear  in  our  next  issue. 


Samuel  Gamble  in  New  York. 


New  York,  March  30,  1894.— Un  the  morning  of  the  27th 
I  arrived  with  two  carloads  of  horses,  twenty-three  head 
in  all.  They  were  consigned  to  Peter  C.  Kellogg's  combina- 
tion sale,  which  took  place  here.  Notwithstanding  the 
dull  times  1  think  the  Californians  sold  quite  well  The 
combination  sale  lasted  four  days,  and  the  three  days  pre- 
ceding our  sale  the  average  per  head  was  $180  ;  the  California 
consignment  averaged  $525  per  head,  so  you  see  we  made  a 
good  showing  after  all. 

The  demand  for  trotting  stock  has  changed  wonderfully 
during  the  past  two  years.  At  the  present  time,  the  market 
here  for  broodmares  in  foal,  colts  and  stallions,  is  overstocked, 
and  buyers  are  very  few.  High-class  stock  having  speed 
and  good  road  qualities  sell  very  readily  for  good  prices.  All 
hordes  which  have  good  looks,  color  and  style  and  are 
pleasant  (drivers  going  without  boots),  are  in  great  demand 
to-day,  but  to  sell  such  horses  here  for  gooa  prices,  they  must 
have  records.  The  buyers  say  that  they  will  take  nobody's 
word  for  it,  but  a  record  always  tells  the  truih.  In  our  sale 
to-day  we  showed  more  speed  than  has  ever  been  seen  in  that 
sales  building,  yet  with  a  record  on  a  good  track  under  the 
'  watch,  the  public  will  bid  fast  and  high  for  a  good  gaitec", 
-  sound,  good-looking  trotter.  The  demand  for  great  speed  is 
wanted  to-day  more  than  I  ever  saw  it  in  Sew  York  or 
in  any  other  large  city,  but  you  cannot  sell  mares  in  foal, 
or  young  colts  and  stallions  for  one-quarter  the  price  you  will 
get  for  the  former. 

To  give  your  readers  an  idea  of  the  kind  of  road  animals 
that  are  wanted,  1  will  state  that  they  must  be  able  to  go  from 
2:25  down  to  as  close  to  two  minutes  as  they  can  go  ;  the  faster 
.  they  can  move  the  higher  the  price  will  be.  The  public  has 
been  taught  many  lessons  in  the  past  and  they  will  not  be 
bitten  again.  In  Californa,  you  have  many  horses  which  are 
fi&e  looking  and  speedv  which  would  bring  good  prices  here, 
instance,  Don  Lowell,  2:20};  W.  Wood,  2:07  ;  Our  Dick, 


for 


j  2:08£  ;  Oltinger,  2:11$  ;  Col.  May,  2:17J  ;  Hulda,2:08^  ;  Fly 
ing  Jib,  2:04,  or  Myrtle,  2:19.  These  are  the  kind  of  animals 
1  that  will  bring  good  prices.  Without  a  record  such  horses 
1  would  not  sell  at  auction  for  much  more  than  the  freight  on 
them.  Again,  if  you  can  show  a  good-looking,  sound,  level- 
headed trotter  or  pacer  that  can  go  a  fast  trial,  such  a  one  will 
sell  for  good  money  for  racing  or  road  use,  but  the  day  has 
!  passed  for  fashion.  The  buyer  must  either  lime  the  horse  by 
;  his  watch,  or  the  record  ihe  horse  has  made,  must  tell  the 
story.  I  could  have  sold  Killarney  Maid,  Emma  Nevada, 
',  The  Dane,  Belle  R  ,  or  Belle  Sargeul  for  three  times  the  price 
they  brought  at  auction  to-day  had  they  records  of  Z:25  or 


better,  or  if  I  had  them  in  such  a  position  that  I  could  drive 
them  over  the  road,  or  could  show  them  to  a  buyer  who  held  ' 
a  watch  on  them.  So  my  advice  to  all  horse  breeders  in  Cali- 
fornia is  that  if  they  wish  to  send  their  slock  to  this  market 
to  sell  at  auction,  they  should  place  a  record  upon  each  and 
every  one,  but  to  keep  their  good  mares  that  are  in  foal  to  the 
good  stallions  at  home,  as  the  great  stallion  and  broodmare 
day  is  sure  to  come  again.  Samuel  Gamble.

GREAT    TROTTING-    STAKES    FOR      COLTS. 


New  Arrangements  for  the  State  Fair. 


The  State  Board  of  Agriculture  held  its  usual  April  meet- 
ing last  Monday  to  revise  the  premium  list  and  arrange  other 
preliminaries  for  the  State  Fair  of  1894.  Messrs.  Bogg3, 
Gird,  Cox,  Oreen,  Chase,  Wilson  and  Hancock  were  present. 

Several  important  changes  were  made  in  the  list  of  awards. 

The  Speed  Programme  Committee  recommended  a  grand 
$5,000  guaranteed  trotting  stake  for  foals  of  this  year,  to  trot 
in  1896-97,  with  but  two  small  payments  before  the  colts  are 
to  trot,  and  was  adopted.  Of  this  stake  $2,000  will  go  to  the 
two-year-olds  and  §3,000  to  the  coits  in  tbree-year-old  form. 
The  nomination  fee  will  be  -510,  eatries  to  close  June  1,  1894 
The  colts  entered  can  start  in  either  stake  or  both. 

This  will  be  one  of  the  richest  stakes  for  youngsters  that 
will  be  given  this  vear. 

The  Speed  Programme  Committee  will  soon  submit  the 
full  programme  for  this  year. 

The  matter  of  admission  tickets  was  taken  up,  and  the 
board  decided  to  adopt  a  fifteea -admission  com. nutation  ticket 
to  besoldfor  $5.  This  ticket  will  contain  fifteen  coupons, 
each  of  which  will  be  good  for  one  adult  or  two  children. 
They  will  not  be  honored  if  detached,  but  the  holder  of  the 
ticket  may  bring  as  many  with  him  as  he  desires,  to  the  ex- 
tent of  the  number  of  coupons  on  the  ticket. 

This  will,  in  J  the  opinion  of  the  board,  be  a  very  popular 
move,  as  it  will  eaable  visitors  to  take  anyone  with  them  into 
either  the  Park  or  Pavilion. 

Another  ticket  will  ba  issued  to  merchants  in  bioks  of  100 
each,  at  the  same  rate,  to  send  out  with  invitations  ta  their 
interior  customers,  with  their  compliments,  and  will  act  as  an 
extra  inducement  to  attract  visitors.  Single  admissions  will 
be  the  same  as  heretofore. 

Other  important  measures  are  under  consideration,  tend- 
ing to  make  the  State  Fair  especially  attractive  this  year.  It 
is  the  intention  of  the  board  toenciurage  mi  ay  attractive 
Pavilion  exhibits  for  the  fair. 

A  committee  was  selected  to  confer  with  the  Horticultural 
Society  in  compliance  with  their  invitation  to  arrange  an 
exceptional  tine  horticultural  display  this  year. 

A  proposal  of  the  American  Aberdeen-Angus  Association  to 
offer  their  special  premium,  in  our  list,  of  §100  to  the  Grand 
Sweepstakes  premium,  which  they  give  should  the  State  Fair 
award  be  won  by  an  Angus  herd,  was  accepted.  Also  the 
special  award  given  by  the  American  Berkshire  Association 
for  registered  Berkshires  winning  laurels  at  the  State  Fair  of 
California. 

Special  attention  will  be  given  this  year  to  the  milk  tests. 
The  creamery  interest  is  fast  assuming  larger  proportions  in 
California,  and  the  State  Board  wants  to  show  the  fullest 
capacity  of  our  milk  breeds.  This  department  will  be  in 
charge  of  an  expert  this  year,  and  rich  results  are  expected. 


American  Derby  Nominations. 


Chicago,  April  12 — The  final  declarations  of  nominations 
for  the  American  Derby,  due  April  2nd,  were  made  public 
by  Secretary  Howard  to-night.  The  list  includes  twenty-four 
names,  an  unusually  small  number,  and  is  made  up  in  the 
greater  part  of  horses  that  haven't  a  possible  chance  for  the 
classic  June  prize.     April  withdrawals  are  : 

Fra  Diavolo,  Lady  Clementina,  Nurthside,  Hurlingham, 
Flirtation,  The  Mallard,  Clara  D.,  Rosebud,  Weluraka,  Pitts- 
burg, Maryland,  Calamut,  Rosedale.  St.  Lucas,  Tuscarora, 
Meditation,  BrodLead,  Lackey,  Frugal,  Julius,  Tilsit,  Arte- 
mus,  Bedford  and  Gangway.  Hurlingham,  Tilsit  and  Flir- 
tation are  the  only  notable  horses  in  this  lot.  The  latter,  it 
was  announced  some  time  ago,  would  not  come  east  of  the 
Rockies  this  season. 

Belmont's  declaration  may  be  presumed  to  be  due  to  lack 
of  condition  or  signs  of  worse  affliction,  inasmuch  as  he 
allows  only  three  candidates  to  remain  eligible,  Atremp, 
Frugal  and  Gangway.  Wetumka,  Rosebud  colt  and  Clara 
D.  colt  did  not  start  as  two-year-olds,  and  Fra  Diavolo, 
Julius,  Lackey,  Maryland  and  St.  Lucas  are  maidens. 

The  announcement  of  these  final  declarations  will  bring 
out  remodeled  future  book  sheets,  and  speculation  will  ihen 
begin  in  earnest.  Originally  there  were  272  nominations,  of 
which  116  were  declared  nn  February  1st.  Deducting  twenty- 
four  April  withdrawals,  132  animals  are  now  eligible  to  try 
for  the  $2o,000  plum  on  Jone  23d. 

Immediately  upon  the  issuance  of  the  declaration,  O'Neill,

While  the  great  sire  of  early  and  extreme  speed  has  been 
placed  beyond  the  reach  of  public  breeders  this  year,  there 
are  two  grandly-bred  sons  of  his  standing  at  ihe  Xapa  Stock 
Farm,  which  for  breeding,  individuality,  speed,  color,  gait 
and  disposition  do  not  suffer  in  comparison  with  any  young 
stallion  in  California.  We  refer  to  Pilot  Prince  and  Dexter 
Prince  Jr.  At  the  Napa  Fair  las*  year  every  horseman  who 
saw  these  horses  felt  that  no  praise  could  be  too  strong  for 
them,  and  the  colts  and  fillies  by  Pilot  Prince  were  models  of 
beauty,  showing  that  this  horse  transmits  all  of  his  great 
qualities  to  his  progeny  remarkably  well.  Every  owner  of  a 
good  mare  who  wants  to  get  trotting  horses  that  are  perfect 
in  every  way  should  consider  carefully  the  claims  made  for 
these  two  stallions,  and,  if  possible,  go  and  see  them.  That 
they  will  fill  every  expectation  is  evidenced  by  the  fast  that 
every  horseman  who  critically  examines  them  makes  arrange- 
ments to  send  mares  to  them  at  once.  The  late  John  Wil- 
liams, the  well-known  horseman,  declared  that  Pilot  Prince 
was  the  purest-gailed  and  fastest  two-year-old  he  ever  saw  or 
rode  behind,  and  predicted  a  brilliant  future  for  the  hand- 
some colt  as  a  sire,  even  if  he  never  trotted  in  a  race,  for  he 
had  all  that  quality  and  substance  combined  with  good  breed- 
ing, and  a  determination  to  trot  without  wasting  any  super- 
fluous action  that  is  so  often  shown  in  our  greatest  of  sires. 
In  this  respect  he  was  a  marvel.  Read  the  advertisement

Winter's  String  at  Chicago. 

Chicago,  April  32.— Theodore  Winters,  the  famous 
Nevada  horseman  and  breeder,  will  race  in  Chicago  next 
month  for  the  first  lime  since  he  sold  Yo  Tambien  and  her 
companions  to  Chris  Smith  at  Garfield  Park  over  two  years 
ago.  For  two  seasons  Winters'  colors  have  been  absent  from 
the  turf.  This  year  he  determined  to  make  no  mistake  about 
the  condition  of  his  royally-bred  racers,  and  last  spring  he 
shipped  the  horses  to  be  trained  to  Duquoin,  111.,  where  he 
had  rented  a  track  and  grounds.  This  morning  a  string  of 
fourteen  left  for  Chicago,  and  to-morrow  they  will  be  at 
Hawthorne,  where  slake  engagements  will  be  tilled.  Later 
they  go  to  Washington  Park  and  then  lo  Saratoga.

Galesburg(IU.},  April  12 — A  special  train  of  thirteen 
cars,  carrying  the  horses  and  other  effects  of  C.  W.  Williams

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  next  tournament  of  the  California  Slate  Sportsmen's 
Association,  the  twelfth  annual,  will  undoubtedly  be  held  at 
Los  Angeles  iu  September  next. 

Our  local  champion,  Crittenden  Robinson,  though  not  in 
quit*  Ilia  usual  form  at  the  tournament,  was  in  the  money 
most  of  the  time.  His  average  was  about  as  good  as  the  best. 
His  gun  bothered  him  a  bit  as  well. 

'■  Mike  Murchv,"  as  he  was  nicknamed  at  the  tournament, 
is  shooting  in  much  better  form  than  last  year.  Those  who 
were  fortunate  enough  to  attend  the  tournament  will  bear 
witness  that  the  Huoter  Arms  Co.  could  scarcely  find  a  more 
popular  man  or  a  better  all-round  shot  to  represent  their 
popular  gun.  

Lou  Chittenden,  a  Hanford  vineyardist,  has  imported 
three  dozen  Japanese  pheasants  and  will  stock  a  portion  of 
the  Paige  ranch  with  that  fowl.  Some  portions  of  Oregon  are 
now  well  slocked  with  this  game  bird,  and  it  is  not  only  popu- 
lar with  sportsmen,  but  it  is  said  to  be  a  valuable  addition  to 
the  rather  sparse  varieties  of  wild  fowl  found  on  this  coast. 

One  of  the  prettiest  shots  of  the  tournament  was  made  by 
''Smith'"  on  Sunday.  When  he  walked  to  the  Score  a  swift 
fifing  incomer  was  trapped  from  Xo.  Strap.  He  discovered 
this,  his  guo  was  not  cocked,  broke  open  his  gun,  cocked  it, 
mit»eil  ihe  bird  with  the  tirst  barrel  and  killed  it  with  the 
second,  several  yards  within  the  boundary.  A  quick  and 
clever  piece  of  work. 

Mr.  C.  A.  Haight,  the  well-known  sportsman  and  dog  fan- 
cier, has  been  appointed  agent  for  the  I'upont  Powder  com- 
pany. Mr.  Jobn  Skinker,  who  has  been  conducting  the  busi- 
ness since,  January  ltst,  will  still  retain  an  interest,  but  the 
business  will  be  transacted  hereafter  in  the  name  of  C.  A. 
H  tight.  Mr.  Haight  is  a  man  of  good  judgment  and  business 
ability,  and  the  business  of  this  popular  powder  manufactory 
could  scarcely  be  in  better  hand*. 

The  Tule  River  Shooting  ;iud  tr  ishing  Association,  of  Por- 
terville,  has  tiled  articles  of  incorporation  in  the  County 
Clerk's  office.  The  objects  of  the  corporation  are  for  the 
protection  of  all  fish  and  game  during  the  close  season,  and 
lo  purchase  and  hold  property.  The  principal  plice  of  busi- 
ness shall  be  Porlerville.  The  corporation  is  to  exist  for 
fifty  years.  Following  are  thedireclors  :  A.  G.  Schultz,  E. 
Newman,  W  C  Hrumlield,  J  L  Hardeman,  A  M  Lumley,  P. 
C  Montgomery,  IJorter»ille;  John  Sinclair,  San  Francisco. 
The  capital  stock  is  (5,000,  divided  into  twenty-five  shares  of 
the  par  value  of  $200. 

In  the  Androscoggin  river  in  Maine  is  a  small  island  con- 
taining two  or  three  acres  ofbrush  land,  savs  the  Big  Timber 
Timber  Pioneer,  This  island  has  been  taken  by  a  club  of 
Sportsmen,  I'.  W.  Howard,  . >f  this  place  being  a  member. 
The  club  has  covered  the  island  with  wire  netting  and  pro- 
pose to  rat«e  a  number  of  game  birds  of  various  kinds, 
eventually  restocking  the  entire  State.  In  futherance  of  this 
idea  they  have  requested  Mr  Howard  to  procure  for  them 
twenty 'four  pintail  grouse,  and  baring  secured  the  necessary 
permission  Irnm  the  M<»ui;ui:i  rnrhurities  he  has  started  in 
rk.  Thirteen  live  birds  have  already  been  caught  and 
are  on  exhibition  at  the  Howard  Bros,  stabler,  and  as  s*  on  as 
the  remaining  eleven  are  captured  they  will  be  shipped  to 
Maine. 

The    Midwinter  Tournament, 


The  Midwinter  T'ltirnamenl  of  ihe  California  State  Sports" 
man's  Association  was  an  unqualified  success  from  start  to 
finish  as  far  as  live-bird  shooting  is  concerned.  The  inani- 
mate target  event*  did  Dot  till.  There  was  generally  a  few 
shooter*  smashing  the  blue  rocks  and  a  few  impromptu 
matches  were  arranged,  but  the  interest  in  the  blue  rock  events 
waa  confined  to  a  mere  handful  of  shooters,  J.  W.  Shiell  of 
Traver,  O.  M  Judy  of  Dinuba  and  "  Grimes  "  did  some  ex- 
cellent scorii.  _  The  average  of  the  two  former  must  have 
been  nearly  'Jo  per  cent.  Edgar  Forster  officiated  as  referee, 
trapper  and  scorer,  and  gave  perfect  satisfaction. 


The  interest  in  the  live-bird  shooting,  however,  has  not 
been  as  great  for  years.  The  events  filled  well  and  the  spec- 
tators oo  Friday,  Saturday  and  Sunday  were  many.  The  100- 
bird  match  did  not  till.  Robinson  and  Chick  entered,  but  it 
was  thought  advisable  to  call  the  match  off  and  shoot  a  couple 
of  25-bird  races  instead.  The  birds  averaged  well  throughout 
the  tournament  and  the  scores  made  by  Chick,  McMurchy, 
Kubinson,  Merrill,  Morrison,  Ellison,  Babcock,  Webster, 
Zentgraf  and  others  were  remarkably  good. 

The  new  California  production,  the  United  States  Smoke- 
less Powder  Company's  new  smokeless  powder  was  used  by  C. 
A.  Merrill  on  Saturday,  by  Morrison  in  the  freeze-outs  on 
Sunday,  and  by  "Slade  "  in  his  second  barrel,  and  demon- 
strated the  fact  that  none  of  the  nitros  are  superior  to  it  in 
penetration  and  pattern.  It  is  as  near  to  being  absolutely 
smokeless  as  any  of  the  nitros  except  Walsrode,  and  the 
offensive  odor  that  we  mentioned  previously  has  been  entirely 
done  away  with.  This  powder  has  come  to  stay,  and  as  it  can 
be  manufactured  at  but  a  trifle  greater  cost  than  black  pow- 
der, it  must  eventually  crowd  all  others  out  of  the  market. 

We  gave  our  readers  the  result  of  the  first  day's  shooting 
in  our  last  issue.  The  first  event  of  Friday  was  a  six-bird 
match,  $5  entrance,  eleven  entries.  Robinson,  Merrill,  Elli- 
son aud  Chick  each  killed  six  straight.  On  shooting  off  the 
tie  at  five  birds  Merrill  and  Chick  killed  five  each,  and  di- 
vided the  money,  $52.50.    The  score :

The  next  event  was  to  have  been  the  100  bird  match,  but 
as  it  did  not  fill  a  twenty-five  bird  race,  $25  entrance,  was  put 
in  its  place.  There  were  ten  entries,  Merrill  winning  first 
money,  $122.50,  with  twenty-three  birds  to  bis  credit,  his  sec- 
ond falling  dead  out  of  bounds.  Zentgraf,  second  money, 
$73.50,  with  twenty-two,  Robinson  and  Chick  tied  for  third 
money  with  twenty-one.  The  tie  was  shot  off  in  the  next 
match  and  as  they  were  still  tie  they  divided  $49.  The  score:

The  Fay  Diamond  Medal  match  followed.  As  is  usually 
the  case,  this  match  brought  out  a  good  entry.  Crittenden 
Robinson,  having  won  this  medal  the  third  lime,  was  the 
owner,  but  kindly  presented  it  to  the  Association  under  the 
old  rules  governing  its  competition,  the  holder  to  receive  the 
entire  entrance  lo  the  match.  Chick  and  Fay  tied  for  the 
medal  with  211  birds  each.  A  side  purse  of  $85  was  divided 
between  theiu,  and  they  shot  off  for  the  medal  at  five  birds. 
They  both  killed  straight  up  to  the  twelfth  bird.  Fay's 
twelfth  fell  dead  just  out  of  bounds,  Chick's  twelfth  escaped 
not  badly  punished.  Fay's  fourteenth  bird  also  fell  dead  out 
of  bounds,  and  his  fifteenth  escaped  apparently  unhurt.  Chick 
killed  his  last  three  and  won  the  medal,  but  Fay  certainly 
gave  him  a  good  race.    The  score  :

Lead   in  Rifles. 


Since  reading  in  Shooting  and  Fishing  of  Mr.  Rabbeth's 
discovery  of  minute  particles  of  lead  in  his  rifle  barrels,  I 
have  given  this  subject  much  thought  and  nave  tried  experi- 
ments id  regard  to  it-  I  have  a  .40  caliber  rifle  that  has 
given  me  no  end  of  trouble.  I  tried  every  load  within  rea- 
son, and  still  my  targets  showed  many  eights  and  nines,  and 
usually  a  good  number  of  sevens.  This  was  not  to  be  laid  to 
poor  holding  altogether,  for  with  my  smaller  rifles  my  scores 
were  always  several  points  higher. 

When  I  read  of  Mr.  Rabbeth's  discovery  I  made  up  my 
mind  that  there  was  lead  in  the  .40  caliber  barrel  and  went  to 
work  to  get  it  out.  After  thoroughly  cleaning  it,  as  I  sup- 
posed, I  drove  fifty  pieces  of  new  white  cotton  drilling,.which 
has  a  rough  surface,  through  the  barrel.  They  were  a  light 
fit,  for  I  had  to  drive  the  wooden  rod  through  the  barrel  with 
a  hammer.  On  the  first  of  the  clcthg  I  found  small  particles 
of  lead,  but  after  the  fifth  they  came  out  as  clean  as  new.  Up- 
on trying  the  rifle  after  this  cleaning  my  old  friends  showed 
up  the  same  as  usual.  Sevens  and  eights  welcomed  me  with 
fiendish  grins.  1  made  up  my  mind  that  the  rifle  was  worth- 
less for  fine  shooting,  and  determined  to  find  out  if  there  was 
lead  in  it,  even  at  the  risk  of  tearing  out  a  few  grains  of  steel. 
More  cloths  was  resorted  to,  and  a  very  little  lead  came  out. 
but  not  enough  to  satisfy  me.  Then  I  drove  something 
through  that  barrel  that  meant  business.  On  the  end  of  this 
was  lead,  lots  of  lead.  It  weighed  half  a  grain,  and  the  pieees 
were  so  thin  that  they  presented  quite  a  large  surface.  After 
this  the  sevens  were  surprises,  acd  when  made  were  not  so  un- 
accountable as  formerly.  The  wild  shots  were  more  evenly 
distributed  on  the  target,  and  instead  of  the  majority  of 
them  being  too  low  they  were  sprinkled  around  on  the  sidas 
of  the  10  ring.  I  am  not  a  good  shot,  bat  my  scores  with  this 
rifle  now  are,  at  least,  presentable. 

A  week  ago  a  new  .32-40  barrel  came  to  me  from  the  Rem- 
ington Co.  It  has  very  shallow  grooves,  is  well  bored  at  the 
breech,  and  the  lands  arechamfered  down  at  the  end  of  the 
chamber.  I  fired  it  seventy-five  times  the  first  day  I  had  it 
and  after  thoroughly  cleaning  it  found  lead  in  it.  I  find  it  in 
my  two  .25-20  rifles,  in  a  Smith  &  Wesson  revolving  rifle,  and 
in  a  Ballard  .38-55.    Whether  it  always  impairs  the  accuracy 


of  the  rifle,  I  don't  know ;  but  it  doesn't  belong  there,  and 
should  be  removed. 

This  is  my  experience  with  lead  in  barrels,  and  now  Jet  us 
hear  from  others  in  regard  to  it.  Look  in  the  muzzle  of  a 
clean  barrel  and  see  if  the  grooves  are  discolored  near  the 
muzzle.  Nearly  every  barrel  I  have  looked  into  has  seemed 
to  be  oxidized  in  the  grooves.  At  one  time  I  thought  the 
steel  was  discolored  from  the  chemical  action  of  burnt  pow- 
der; but  now  I  firmly  believe  that  a  large  per  cent,  of  this 
discoloration  is  due  to  lead  — E.  A.  P.  in  Shooting  and  Fish- 
ing.  

The  Sportsmen's  Convention. 

The  first  representative  body  of  sportsmen  that  ever  gath- 
ered together  in  the  State  of  California  for  the  purpose  of 
securing  proper  legislation  in  the  interests  of  game  protec- 
tion, assembled  at  Memorial  Hall,  Odd  Fellows'  Building,

The  careful  reader  will  recognize  among  these  names,  those 
of  prominent  lawyers,  eminent  statesman  and  men  who  are 
not  only  sportsmen,  but  who  have  made  the  preservation  of 
game  the  study  of  years. 

Many  of  these  men  expected  to  see  the  usual  farce  enacted, 
and  doubtless  many  others  equally  interested  failed  to  attend 
for  that  very  cause,  but  they  were  doomed  to  disappoint- 
ment. They  soon  realized  that  they  were  among  enthusiasts 
and  one  and  all,  with  perhaps  ODe  exception,  were  carried 
along  with  the  wave  of  enthusiasm.  The  broadest  possible 
views  were  taken  of  every  subject  and  the  fullest  discussion 
invited  by  the  chair.  No  man  in  the  convention  had  his 
speech  curtailed  one  minute.  No  single  section  of  the  law 
was  voted  upon  without  due  deliberation  and  debate.  True 
— some  of  the  delegates  never  shot  a  gun  in  their  lives,  but 
they  were  men  of  bright  intellect  and  their  very  presence  was 
a  safeguard  against  mistakes.  The  rancher  and  the  moun- 
taineers side  of  the  question  was  looked  upon  and  discussed 
at  full  length.  In  short  the  motto  of  the  entire  convention 
was:  "  The  greatest  good  to  the  greatest  number." 

Several  very  desirable  clauses  in  the  proposed  alterations 
in  the  existing  game  laws  were  rejected.  The  chairman 
rightly  urging  upon  the  convention  not  to  attempt  to  do  too 
much  at  once. 

The  convention  was  called  to  order  by  Crittenden  Robin- 
son, president  of  the  California  State  Sportsman's  Association 
at  whose  suggestion  the  convention  was  called. 

Mr.  Robinson  opened  the  convention  by  stating  the  pur- 
poses for  which  the  convention  had  convened.  He  requested 
the  delegates  present  to  endeavor  to  work  in  perfect  harmony, 
to  abstain  from  personal  animosity,  to  make  their  arguments 
as  brief  and  pointed  as  possible,  urging  every  one  to 
work  as  a  unit  for  the  greatest  good  for  the  greatest  number. 

Judge  C.  N.  Post,  of  Sacramento,  moved  that  Mr.  Critten- 
den Robinson  act  as  temporary  chairman.     Carried. 

Mr.  M.  J.  Boggs,  of  Colusa,  was  appointed  temporary 
secretary. 

Dr.  I.  W.  Haves,'of  Grass  Valley,  moved  that  the  chair  ap- 
point a  committee  of  five  as  a  committee  on  credentials.  The 
chair  appointed;  J.  O.  Cadman,  Henry  Babcock,  J.  K.  Or?, 
John  Stack  and  A.  Russell  Crowell,  also  a  committee  on 
permanent  organization  and  Older  of  business,  consisting  of 
Dr.  I.  W.  Hayes,  Senator  F.  L.  Ford,  Capt.  J.  M.  Morrison, 
H.  T.  Payne  and  C.  Z.  Hebert.  The  meeting  then  adjurned 
until  1:30  P.  m. 

After  lunch,  the  committee  on  credentials  reported  favor- 
able upon  the  names  of  the  delegates  as  given  above. 

John  Stack  objected  to  any  proxy  being  accpted  who  was 
not  a  resident  of  the  county  which  he  represented  and  moved 
that  such  proxies  be  rejected.    N.  B.  Dutcher  seconded  the 


motion.     His  argnment  against  such   proxies  being  accepted, 

|  showed  upon  its   face  that  it  was  meant  as  a  personal  attack 

I  against  certain  members   present,  and  produced  in  evidence 

I  a  circular  sent  out  by  the  State  Sportsman's  Association  asking 

j  fordelegates  who  could  not  attend  to  give  their  proxies  to 

j  residents  of  their  country  who  could  or  in  the  event  of  that 

being  impossible  to  give  their   proxies  to  some  one  in  San 

,  Francisco  who  could  repre*-ent   them.     H.  T.  Payne,  Dr.  H. 

!  Robertson,  J.  S.  Johnson,  C.  W.  Kyle,  T.  J.  Sherwood  and 

C.  N.  Post  spoke  against  the  motion,  the    latter  gentleman 

asking  why  the  wishes  of  the  delegates  who  gave  the  proxies 

should  not  be  considered. 

On  request  of  T.  J.  Sherwood,  Mr.  Slack  withdrew  his 
motion  to  amend  and  the  report  was  adopted. 

The  committee  on  permanent  organization  then  made  their 
report.  The  officers  ',  elected  were  Crittenden  RobinsoD, 
president;  H.  M.  McNeil,  David  Shoemaker,  Judge  C.  N. 
Post,  A.J.  Wiley,  Judge  N.  A.  Dora,  F.  W.  Henshaw,  J.  W. 
Orear,  Senator  \V.  P.  Matthews  and  Judge  E.  W.  Spencer, 
vice-president;  M.  J.  Boggs,  secretary.  The  name  adopted 
was  the  California  Association  for  the  Protection  of  Game 
and  Fish.  The  suggestion  of  the  committee  that  the  delegates 
and  proxies  present  and  others  to  be  made  members  of  this 
association  on  the  payment  of  §5  was  adopted. 

In  response  to  the  suggestion  of  the  committee  on  perma- 
nent organization  that  a  committee  of  one  delegate  from 
each  county  represented,  be  appointed  a  committee 
on  legislation  to  draw  up  a  rough  bill  of  revisions 
of  the  existing  game  laws  from  the  suggestions  made  by  the 
convention,  the  report  was  amended,  that  the  chair  appoint 
a  committee  of  nine  to  report  on  the  following  morning,  and 
it  was  adopted.  The  chair  appointed  H.  T.  Payne,  J.  S. 
Johnson,  Senator  Thomas  Flint  Jr.,  W.  F.  Willis,  Senator 
W.  P.  Matthews,  J.  W.  Todd,  Dr.  H.  C  Dimock,  Dr.  C.  W- 
Hibbard  and  David  Shoemaker. 

The  report  was  further  amended  that  a  committee  of  five 
be  appointed  to  suggest  metheds  of  enforcing  the  game  laws. 
The  chair  appointed  Judge  C.  N.  Post,  Capt.  J.  M.  Morri- 
son, T.  J.  Sherwood,  Dr.  H.  D.  Robertson  and  Dr.  J.  W. 
Hayes. 

The  report  was  further  amended  that  another  committee 
of  five  be  appointed  to  district  the  State.  The  chair  appointed 
Dr.  I.  W.  Hayes,  Judge  E.  V.  Spencer,  H.  Babcock,  J.  K. 
Orrand  A.  J.  Wiley.    The  report  was  then  adopted  in  full. 

Under  the  general  discussion  on  protection  of  game  aod 
fish,  T.  J.  Sherwood  stated  that  the  Boards  of  Supervisors 
have  no  power  to  change  the  same  laws.  That  the  legisla- 
ture has  no  power  to  delegate  the  power  of  legislation. 

Dr.  I.  W.  Haves  thought  that  the  open  season  for  deer 
should  be  from  October  1st  to  December  1st. 

J.  K.  Orr  stated  that  the  deer  of  Marin  county  wereat  their 
beat  in  July  and  August. 

A.  S.  Kenagy  spoke  strongly  against  the  folly  of  allowing 
the  supervisors  to  meddle  with  the  game  laws.  A.  J.  Wiley 
thought  the  supervisors  should  be  allowed  to  make  their  own 
laws. 

Judge  W.  Spencer  spoke  of  the  total  lack  of  enforcement 
of  the  game  laws  in  Lassen  county  and  opposed  Boards  of 
Supervisors  altering  game  laws  to  suit  themselves. 

Senator  Ford,  of  Sierra,  championed  of  the  rights  of  the 
Boards  of  Supervisors,  but  not  being  a  sportsman  could  not 
talk  practically  on  the  subject. 
j!   fl.  T.  Payne  gave  his  opinion  of  districting  the  State. 

Judge  M.  M.  Estee,  of  Napa,  stated  that  he  bad  stocked 
his  stream  every  year  for  years,  but  added  that  fishermen 
could  be  seen  every  week  in  the  year  that  the  water  was  not 
too  high,  angling  along  its  banks.  He  recommended  the 
absolute  prohibition  of  the  sale  of  game  and  fish  of  certain 
kinds. 

(  JudzeC.  M.  Post  would  limit  the  sale  of  game  in  the  pub- 
lic market  to  two  months. 

"lam  satisfied,  gentleman,"  said  Mr.  Post,  "that  if  the 
sale  of  game  in  the  market  of  this  city  and  other  large  cities 
was  curtailed,  in  a  few  years  hence  there  would  be  a  marked 
improvement  in  the  increase  of  birds  and  animals. 

"  Market  hunting  has  done  more  to  kill  off  the  game  sup- 
ply than  all  other  causes  combined,  and  unless  a  limit  is 
placed  upon  the  sale  of  game,  California  will  be  like  many  of 
the  Eastern  States  in  which  there  is  now  no  shooting  to  be 
had." 

"  Game  legislation  is  in  the  interest  of  the  poor.  The  poor 
man  thinks  that  curtailing  the  game  season  is  to  his  detri- 
ment, while  the  very  contrary  is  the  truth." 

In  this  connection  Mr.  Pavne  stated  that  he  had  informa- 
tion from  one  of  the  leading  game-dealers  of  Los  Angeles 
that  last  year  he  had  sold  162,000  dozen  quails  and  threw 
away  600  dozen  that  spoiled  on  his  hands. 

Hon.  M.  M.  Estee  thought  that  a  law  could  be  made  in  ac- 
cordance with  the  climatic  conditions  of  this  State  which 
would  not  in  any  way  trespass  upon  particular  forms  of 
government,  ft  was  the  general  opinion  that  if  game  laws  can 
be  arranged  so  ihat  the  State  can  be  divided,  as  it  were,  from 
the  sportsman's  observations,  into  three  divisions,  thereby 
giving  those  who  reside  in  the  southern  part  of  the  State  the 
lawful  right  to  open  or  close  the  seasons  in  accordance  with 
climatic  conditions  of  the  country  in  which  they  reside,  why, 
so  much  the  better  for  all. 

Judge  Spencer  said  that  the  game  of  high  altitude,  especi- 
ally deer,  are  in  condition  to  be  killed  during  certain  months 
when,  on  the  other  hand,  deer  in  the  lowlands  are  unfit  to  be 
eaten.  A  general  law  will  not  answer  the  people  of  the  north 
and  the  people  of  the  south  unless  provisions  are  made  by 
which  the  closed  season  can  be  so  arranged  as  to  answer  the 
climatic  conditions  of  the  north  and  south  and  middle 
counties. 

The  meeting  then  adjourned  until  10  a.  m.  Wednesday. 

WEDNESDAY,   APRIL   llTH. 

President  Robinson  called  the  convention  lo  order  at  10:30 
oo  Wednesday  morning,  forty-seven  of  the  delegates  answer- 
ing  to  the  roll  call.     Many  more  arrived  shortly  after. 

The  president  read  several  communications  urging  the 
convention  to  endeavor  to  secure  protection  for  larks,  robins 
and  gray  squirrels,  also  a  dispatch  from  Los  Angeles  stating 
that  Judge  Sullivan,  of  the  Supreme  Court,  had  decided  that 
deer  killed  in  Mexico  cannot  be  sold  in  California  during  the 
close  season.  The  report  of  the  committee  on  districting  the 
State  made  their  report  as  follows: 

With  the  information  before  os  we  see  no  hope  of  districting  the 
State  according  to  climatic  differences,  altitude  etc. 

H.  Babcock,  Secretary. 

I.  w.  Haves,  Jb.,  President 

In  the  debate  that  followed  Senator  Ford  suggested  a  gen- 
eral law  for  duck,  quail.and  doves,  but   leaving  the  deer  law

in  the  hands  of  the  Supervisors.  He  regarded  districting  the 
Slate  as  special  legislation. 

Judge  Spencer  thought  districting  possible  but  not  with 
the  meager  information  before  the  committee. 

W.  S.  Kittle  thought  that  it  would  result  in  confusion 
Kenagy  also  spoke  agaiusl  it.  Dr.  Dimock  spoke  in  favor  of 
ajgeneral  law  for  the  entire  Stale.  Mr.  E.  Gerber  stated  that 
the  hide  merchants  of  this  city  purchase  their  deer  skins  of 
Indians  and  squaw  men  in  the  mountains,  by  thousands, 
where  they  are  killed  for  ibeir  bides  onlv.  He  suggested 
that  the  law  prohibiting  the  sale  of  deer  hides  be  extended 
five  years,  not  necessary  to  district  the  State  but  curtail  the 
market  hunter.  The  motion  was  then  made  and  seconded 
that  the  report  be  referred  back  to  the  committee  and  remain 
on  the  table  until  after  the  report  ou  legislation  be  received 
and  adopted. 

The  report  on  legislation  was  then  taken  up  in  sections. 
Section  1  of  Article  626  of  the  Penal  Code  was  amended  to 
read  as  follows : 

Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California,  between  the 
fifteenth  dav  of  February  and  the  fifteeuth  day  of  October  in 
each  year,  shall  hunt,  pursue,  take,  kill,  or  destroy,  or  haye 
in  his  pussesfion,  dead  or  alive,  whether  killed  or  taken  in 
this  Slate  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any  other  State, 
territory  or  foreign  country,  except  for  purposes  of  propaga- 
gation.'any  valley  quail,  bob-white,  partridge,  or  any  kind  of 
wild  duck,  or  rail,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

This  section  broueht  out  considerable  discussion.  John 
Stack  moved  that  the  open  season  be  extended  to  March  1st. 
Seconded  by  Dr.  J.  W.  Hayes.  H.  T.  Payne  told  of  killing 
a  great  many  ducks  in  Los  Angeles  county  with  eggs  in  them 
en  March  1st.  Xot  a  very  creditable  remark  for  a  man  who 
pretends  to  be  a  sportsman. 

J.  K.  Orr  thought  the  season  should  open  October  1st.  J. 
S.  Johnson  spoke  in  favor  of  the  amendment  as  read.  Dr. 
H.  D.  Robertson  gave  a  strong  argument  in  favor  of  cutting 
olTthe  late  killingof  ducks,  stating  that  hundreds  of  wounded 
birds  would  then  have  a  chance  to  recuperate  before  the 
breeding  season. 

Judge  Post  spoke  strongly  against  spring  shooting.  Messrs. 
Orr,  Babcock  and  Robinson  stated  that  the  canvas-back  sea- 
son was  from  November  loth  to  January  15th,  the  latter 
flights  being  unfit  for  food. 

John  Stack  argued  the  amendment,  boasting  that  he,  indi- 
vidually, defeated  the  Emenc  Bill,  and  would  defeat  any 
measure  adopted  by  this  convention  that  did  not  suit  his 
views,  or  words  to  that  effect.  Judge  Post  replied,  challeng- 
ing opposition  and  informed  Mr.  Stack  that  when  he  came 
before  the  next  Legislature  be  would  realize  that  he  was  at 
the  little  end  of  the  horn.     Applause. 

When  put  to  vote.  Stack's  amendment  was  lost  by  a  vote  of 
29  to  18,  and  the  original  seotion  adopted  as  read. 

Lack  of  space  compels  us  to  summarize  the  balance  of  the 
proceedings  of  the  convention.  In  our  next  issue  we  will  give 
the  report  in  detail. 

The  committee  recommended  an  open  season  on  grouse 
and  mountain  quail  from  August  15th  to  November  1.  As 
amended  by  the  convention,  the  open  season  is  from  August

trout.  _ 

Ask  Joe  Cooney  about  his  experience  at  Point  Reyes  on

the  lagoon  and  the  trout  would  not  rise. 

Capt.  Cummings  was  at  Point  Reyes  on  Sunday  practising 
long  distance  casting.  Spectators  say  that  be  stood  at  the

best-bred  sons  of  Dexter  Prince.  He  is  bay  in  color, 
about  15.3  hands  high  and  weighsover  1,100 pounds.  He 
is  level-beadfd  and  one  of  the  strongest-made  horses 
living,  and  able  to  exen  all  his  strength  at  the  trotting 
gait.  He  Is  a  natural  trotter,  requiring  neither  weights 
nor  boots.  He  was  one  ol  the  fastest  colts  ever  foaled 
in  California,  and  as  a  yearling  repeatedly  trotted 
eighths  of  a  mile  In  17seconds.  He  won  all  hla  races  as 
a  two-year-old,  making  a  record  of  2:31a,'  at  the  fall 
meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  in  1890.  Since  then  he 
has  not  been  tralned.butitls  intended  to  camr-algo  him 
this  season.  His  oldest  colts  are  two  years  old.  One 
of  them  was  trained  last  Reason  as  a  yearling  and  won 
tbe  colt  stakes  at  Napa  meeting. 

Since  speed  begets  speed  Pilot  Prince  is  certain  to 

become  one  of  the  great  speed-producers  of  California.

2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horaej  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27*,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure

it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston,

sire-TheMorquls-won  the  Doncaster  St.  Leger  and 
Two  Thousand  guineas  of  1863,  aud  only  lost  the  Derby 
by  a  :>ead.  He  was  by  the  Emperor  of  Sires— stock 
well -from  Cinuvlli,  by  Touchstone,  who  was  one  or 
the  greatest  broodmares  in  EngUab  turf  history,  pro

Men  who  have  spent  a  lifetime  among 
horses  have  Campbell's  Horse  Foot 
Remedy  applied  to  their  horses  feet 
daily,  which  promotes  the  growth  rap- 
idly and  keeps  them  soft,  but  tough 
and  elastic.  The  recommendations  we 
publish  in  our  little  booklet  should  in- 
terest any  horseowner  and  give  him 
confidence  enough  to  give  the  Remedy 
a  trial.  No  horse  having  feet  that  are 
tender  or  sore  in  any  way  will  do  good 
work.  This  fact  has  long  been  known 
by  all  owners. 

Campbell's  Horse  Foot  Remedy  removes  fever  and 
soreness  and  promotes  the  growth  of  the  foot  rapidly 
and  in  time  the  horse-shoer  will  pare  off  all  dead  and 
diseased  hoof.  leaving  the  foot  in  a  healthy,  crowing 
condition.

SAN  FRANCISCO,  SATURDAY,  APRIL  21, 1894. 


CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB   RACES. 


NINTH  DAY  SPRING  MEETING — FRIDAY,  ArRIL  13. 

NE  lone  long  shot  got  to  the  front 
at  the  finish  to  day,  while  four 
favorites  galloped  in  front  of  their 
fields,  to  the  intense  delight  of  the 
talent  and  the  consternation  of  the 
pencilers.  The  day  was  a  grand 
one:  the  fields  large,  the  attendance 
excellent  and  the  racing  only  fair, 
for  every  event  was  won  with  ease. 
Wildamuth,  L.  Lloyd,  Carr,  Ames 
and  Bozeman  were  the  successful 
ockeys.  The  feature  of  the  afternocn  was  the  easy  win  of 
Jasser  from  a  field  that  had  beaten  him  at  the  same  dis- 
ince  just  a  week  ago  and  the  ruling  off  for  life  of  Henry  R. 
Ill),  lessee  of  the  gelding,  on  account  of  the  horse's  most  in- 
onsistent  performances.  The  last  time  Model  won  (April 
th)  it  was  more  than  whispered  around  the  betting  ring  that 
asser  was  "dead,"  and  the  talk  was  justified  by  the  young- 
er's  run  that  day,  when  he  was  at  long  odds  and  finished  a 
ery  poor  fourth  to  Model,  Silver  and  Venus,  two  of  whom 
emade  look  very  ridicuious  to-day.  And  speaking  of  Gas- 
t,  he  was  the  warmest  sort  of  a  favorite  over  Silver,  Venus 
al.  this  afternoon.  Such  work  was  altogether  too  raw  for 
te  Board  of  Stewards  to  stand,  and  they  at  once  ruled  Hill 
Tas  stated.  Jockey  L.  Lloyd  was  exonerated  from  all  blame, 
i  he  Btated  on  April  6th  that  he  believed  Gasser  was  "  dead 
iderhim." 

The  race  was  a  selling  affair,  and   Gasser  was  entered   to 

11  for  $400.     He  was  run  up  to  §1,000  by  a  young  man 

imed  Purser,  but  Hill  bid  him  in  at  $1,003.        After  the 

ling  off  the  gelding  was  ordered  put  up  again  to  be  sold, 

.  d  he  was  knocked  down  to  Purser  at  $1,000. 

;The  first  race  was  simply  an  exercise  gallop  for  the  favor- 

jite,  lostallator,  who  got  away  almost  last   to  a   straggling 

.rt  and  was  in  front  at  the  half-pole.      From  this  out  it  was 

race,  Tnstallator  romping  in  a  winner   by  eight   lengths, 

Iney  being  awarded  the  place  and  Kosalle  the  show.  While 

sthan  six  inches  separated  the  second  and   fourth  horses, 

ooked  from  the  press  stand  as  if  Rosalie  was  second  and 

rn  Cob  third.     The  judges,  however,  are  the  only  ones  to 

tie  such  matters. 

won  the  second  race  by  three  lengths   in  a  gallop, 
ir  getting    away  second,  and   Venus  got  the  place,  two 

ths  separating  her  from  Silver. 
!  3raw  Scot  was  an  easy  winner  of  the  third  race.  Motto 
to  the  homestretch  by  a  head,  with  Romair  second  and 
iw  Scot  third,  the  latter  coming  like  a  shot.  Once  in  the 
light  Braw  Scot  shot  up  to  and  soon  passed  the  quitting 
tto,  winning  by  two  lengths  from  Conde,  who  beat  Rube 
rrows  a  nose.  Motto  finished  last.  Lonnie  B.  made  up  a 
1  t  amount  of  ground,  and  was  fourth,  but  a  nose  behind 
rrows. 


Articus  made  his  reappearance,  after  a  three  months'  rest, 
in  the  mile  handicap  for  three-year-olds.  He  was  carrying 
top  weight,  120  pounds,  got  away  first,  was  taken  back  last  at 
the  first  turn,  and  ran  around  everything  in  the  big  field  ex- 
cept Booze,who  simply  galloped  tn  a  winner  by  three  lengths. 
BeBracey  was  third,  a  head  behind  Articus. 

Red  Light  led  all  the  way  in  the  last  race,  and  won  with 
ease  by  a  length  from  the  outsider,  Banjo,  who  was  as  far  from 
St  Croix.  The  latter  might  have  won  had  he  got  away  even 
with  Red  Light.  Whitestone  aUo  got  away  poorly,  and  was 
never  prominent.

Installator  was  a  rather  lukewarm  favorite,  opening  at 
even  money,  closing  at  7  to  5.  Sidney  was  at  3  to  1  (backed 
down  from  6),  King  Sam  4  (opened  at  6),  others  from  10  to 
30tol.  To  a  straggling  start  Corncob,  Candor,  Gosling, 
King  Sam  was  the  order.  The  favorite  was  off  about  seventh. 
He  ran  around  the  bunch  as  if  tbey  were  tied  up,  and  led  at 
the  half  by  a  head,  Corncob  second,  a  length  from  Candor, 
who  was  as  far  from  Gosling.  At  the  three-quarter  pole  In- 
stallator was  leading  by  three  lengths,  Corncob  second,  a 
length  from  Gosling,  Rosalie  and  Sidney  moving  up  fast. 
Installator  won  in  a  gallop  by  fully  eight  lengths,  while  a 
great  battle  for  place  resulted  in  Sidney  getting  it  by  a  nose 
from  Rosalie,  who  was  less  than  two  inches  in  front  of  Corn 
Cob.  Time,  1:14*.

[Winner  trained  by  owner.] 

Gasser  was  made  a  favorite  for  some  reason — certainly  not 
on  his  most  recent  performance — opening  at  2  to  1,  closing  at 
(3  to  5,  being  plugged  all  over  the  ring.  Silver  was  at  3  to  1, 
Venus  4,  Washoe  4A,  A  delante  1 5,  Coquette  30  and  Sam  Har- 
ris 60  to  1.  Venus,  Gasser,  Silver  was  the  order  at  the  start. 
Gasser  went  to  the  front  when  they  bad  run  an  eighth,  and 
led  Venus  into  the  homestretch  by  three  lengths,  Washoe 
third,  five  lengths  further  away  and  a  length  from  Silver. 
Gasser  romped  in  a  winner  by  three  lengths,  Venus  second, 
two  lengths  in  front  of  Silver,  who  beat  Washoe  atlhe  end  by 
a  scant  length.  Time,  0:50.  The  Board  of  Stewards  at  once 
ruled  H.  R.  Hill,  lessee  of  Gasser,  ofF  for  life  on  account  of 
the  "queer"  running  of  Gasser,  who  was  beaten  off  on  the 
6th  inst.  at  the  same  distance  by  Model,  Silver  and  VenuB, 
two  of  whom  Gasser  defeated  to-day  with  ridiculous  ease.  On 
that  date  the  weights  were  nearly  the  same  as  to-day. 
Ward  Adams,  a  young  man  of  Yolo  county,  owns  Gasser, 
and  the  horse  was  suspended  until  it  can  be  found  whether  or 
not  Adams  was  a  party  to  the  fraud  perpetrated.

Braw  Scot  was  the  favorite,  and  a  hot  one,  being  backed 
down  from  3  to  1  to  8  to  5.  Romair  was  3A  to  1  (receding 
from  2),  Conde  10  and  Rube  Burrows  15  to  1,  Toasplendid 
start  Motto  soon  went  to  the  front,  leading  at  the  half-pole  by 
a  head,  Romair  second,  as  far  from  Tillie  S.,  who  was  a 
length  from  Braw  Scot.  Motto  still  led  when  the  homestretch 
was  reached  by  a  head,  Romair  second,  one  and  one-half 
lengths  from  Braw  Scot,  who  was  running  like  a  wild  horse. 


He  got  to  the  front  half  way  down  the  straight,  and  romped 
in  a  winner  by  two  leugths,  Conde  comiog  fast  down  the 
stretch  and  getting  the  place  bv  a  nose,  Rube  Burrows  third, 
another  nose  behind,  a  short  head  from  Lonnie  B.  Motto

[Winner  trained  by  owner.] 

Artist,  at  2  to  1,  was  a  slight  favorite.  Articas  was  at  2A 
to  1,  De  Bracey  4A,  Carmel  5,  Booze  10,  Ravine  15,  Road 
Runner  and  Gussie  20  to  1  each.  To  a  good  start  the  order 
was  Articus,  Artist.  Ravine,  Gussie.  At  the  quarter  Ravine 
led  Artist  a  head,  Booze  third,  half  a  length  away  and  a  nose 
from  Be  Bracey.  Articus  was  last,  one  and  one-half  lengths  be- 
hind the  bunch.  At  the  half  Artist  was  leading  by  half  a 
length,  Carmel  second,  as  far  from  Road  Runner,  on  whom 
Booze  was  lapped.  The  latter  soon  flew  to  the  fore,  and  led 
into  the  homestretch  by  three  lengths,  Road  Runner,  De 
Bracey  and  Artist  heads  apart  as  named.  Articus  was  im- 
proving his  position  fast.  Booze  was  not  headed,  and  won 
easily  by  three  lengths,  Articus  passing  one  after  another  and 
in  the  last  stride  gettingithe  place  by  a  head,  De  Bracey  third, 
half  a  length  from  Gussie.  Time,  1:43}.  Aiticus  showed 
that  he  was  still  a  good  colt  by  this  run.

Red  Light  was  not  a  very  warm  favorite  at  8  to  5,  after 
opening  at  6  to  5.  White  Stone  was  played  down  from  5  to 
1  to  3  to  1.  St.  Croix  and  Rosie  P.  were  at  6  to  1  each,  Lon-

TENTH  CAY  SPRING  MEETING — SATURDAY,  APRIL  14. 

This  day's  racing  will  not  be  forgotton  soon,  because  it  was 
of  the  sensational  order.  The  local  racegoers  saw  the  best 
lot  of  two-year-olds  gathered  together  to  compete  for  the 
California  Stakes  ever  seen  on  a  California  course.  While 
Piquante  won,  it  was  admitted  on  all  sides  that  the  best 
youngster  ia  the  race  by#  many  pouuds  was  Belli* 
coso,  who  ran  second,  beaten  a  very  short  head. 
Eight  days  before  his  owner  had  no  idea  of 
starting  him  at  the  local  meeting,  as  the  colt  was  heavily  en- 
gaged in  stakes  at  Chicago,  Saratoga  and  places  at  the  Far 
East.  Friends  importuned  Mr.  Burke  to  start  Bellicoso  here. 
The  result  was  that  the  son  of  Peel  and  Janet  N.  weni  to  the 
post  to-day  about  three  weeksshort  of  being  "  on  edge  "  for  a 
bruihing  race.  That  he  was,  tlien,  able  to  run  a  close  second 
to  admittedly  the  best  youngster  that  had  appeared  here,  un- 
der such  circumstances,  and  ridden,  too,  by  a  rider  that  is  not 
classed  within  eight  or  ten  pounds  of  Miller  or  Carr,  shows 
to  the  thinking  public  a  truly  phenomenal  colt  in  Bellicoso, 
and  had  Trainer  Harry  Mason  had  more  time  to  prepare 
him  for  the  fray  we  would  haveseen  the  Pueblo  Stable  repre- 
sentative win  about  as  he  pleased.  But  leaving  this  in  the 
background,  it  was  a  great  day  for  A.  B.  SpreckelB'  stable.

day,  netting  ibe  popular  young  turfman  about  $2,100  in 
stakes  and  purses  alone.  The  black  Australian  mare,  Candid, 
is  certainly  running  in  great  form,  ami  has  won  herself  out 
many  times  ove.. 

Two  favorites,  a  second  and  third  choice  and  one  long  shot 
got  first  money  to  day,  so  tbat  the  pencilers  had  quite  a  bit 
tbe  best  of  the  day's  tight  on  the  silver  and  gold  questions. 
<'arr  had  ;i  great  (lay  of  it,  out  of  live  mounts  ridiug  three 
winners  and  a  second.  A.  Covington  and  Shaw  rode  the  re- 
maining winners.  Starter  Ferguson  had  very  much  of  an 
off  day  with  the  flag,  one  of  his  starts  (the  one  in  the  second 
event)  being  truly  appalling. 

Melanita,  the  post  favorite,  gradually  improved  her  posi- 
tion in  the  tir-t  race,  and  won  easily  from  the  heavily-played 
brother  to  Xohair  (Monita).  Tornado  led  to  the  homestretch, 
where  he  became  a  zephyr.  Little  Frank  looked  a  tritle  dan- 
gerous noli)  a  sixteenth  from  home,  hut  Irish  Johnny  came 
with  a  wet  sail  on  the  extreme  outside  and  heat  him  easily 
for  the  show,  nearly  catching  Monita. 

Kill  Howard,  sent  away  a  couple  of  lengths  in  front  to  one 
of  the  worst  starts  of  the  meeting,  the  horses  actually  being 
in  Indian  tile,  led  until  well  straightened  out  in  the  home- 
stretch, where  Clacquer,  who  had  been  second  throughout, 
came  on  and  won  driving  by  not  quite  a  length  from  Lonnie 
B.,  the  last  horse  in  the  procession  at  the  half-pole.  Bill 
Howard,  dying  away  fast,  managed  to  last  long  enough  to  get 
tbe  show  from  Middieton,  a  favorite  played  with  all  kinds  of 
money. 

Bellicoso  led  in  the  race  for  the  California  Stakes  up  to  the 
last  two  jumps.  Here  Piquante,  a  well-seasoned  filly,  got  up, 
and  won  in  a  drive  by  a  very  short  head.  Bozeman  began 
riding  Bellicoso  hard  as  soon  as  the  colt  got  well  straightened 
in  the  homestrech,  and  went  to  tbe  whip  about  a  sixteenth 
from  home,  when  he  should  have  been  riding  with  hands  and 
feet  for  all  he  was  worth.  In  short,  had  Bozeman  not  had  a 
whip  the  chances  are  Bellicoso  would  have  won.  It  would 
pay  Bozeman  to  remember  the  advice  of  the  celebrated 
jockey,  Tom  Ha'les,  printed  in  this  journal  not  long  ago, 
regarding  the  use  of  whip  and  spur.  For  n  jt  one  borse  in  fifty 
will  benefit  by  the  use  of  a  whip  unless  said  instrument  of 
torture  is  used  only  when  the  horse  is  within  thirty  yards  of 
the  finish.     Pat  Murphy  beat  Model  a  nose  for  the  show. 

In  the  mile  and  a  sixteenth  handicap  Candid  waited  on 
Sir  Reel  and  Treotola  until  nearing  the  three-quarter  pole, 
then  she  went  away  from  her  field  at  a  great  rate,  leading 
into  the  straight  by  about  two  leneths,  Ked  Root,  the 
strongly-played  favorite,  second.  The  latter  could  never 
reach  the  black  Spreckels  mare,  who  won  driving  by  a  neck, 
Hy  I>y  third,  two  lengths  off.  Treotola  quit  very  badly  in 
this  race,  and  Happy  Day  ran  a  "dog"  race. 

Durango  got  the  best  of  the  send-off  in  the  last  race,  and 
was  never  beaded,  though  he  sulked  considerably.  Blue  and 
White  would  assuredly  have  won  had  she  been  sent  away 
even  with  Durango.     Nellie  Van  showed.

[Winner  trained  by  Dan  Meek.] 

Melanita,  played  down  from  3  to  1  to  2  to  1,  was  the  favor- 
ite. Monita  was  at  2A  to  1  (backed  down  from  3),  Prince  Idle 
G.  Sea  Breeze  7,  the  others  from  10  to  20  to  1.  To  a  poor  start 
the  order  was  Prince  Idle,  Tornado,  Gold  Dust,  Little  Frank. 
Tornado  at  once  blew  to  the  fore,  leading  past  the  half  pole 
by  three  lengths,  Little  Frank  second,  two  lengths  from  Sea 
Breeze.  Melanita  ran  up  close  to  Tornado  as  they  swung  into 
the  homestretch,  and  the  latter  soon  gave  up,  Little  Frank 
running  second  for  a  time.  A  sixteenth  from  home  Monita 
began  to  loom  up  dangerous,  but  Melanita  was  not  to  be 
caughi,  and  won  easily  by  two  lengths  from  Monita,  who  beat 
Irish  Johnny  a  head  for  the  place.  Time,  1:03.  Irish 
Johnny  came  on  the  extreme  outside  very  fast  at  the  end.

Middieton  was  a  warm  favorite  at  8  to  5.  Bill  Howard's 
price  wis  11  to  5.  Clacquer  was  at  G  to  1,  Rube  Burrows  7, 
Lonnie  B.  and  Miss  Buckley  8  to  1  each.  The  start  in  this 
race  was  simply  awful.  Bi  I  Howard  was  oil'  in  front,  and 
well  under  way,  Clacquer  second,  Miss  Buckley  third,  Rube 
Burrows  fourth,  Middieton  fifth,  Lonnie  B.  last,  regular  In- 
dian file.  Howard  led  Clacquer  three  lengths  at  the  half-pole 
and  only  half  that  distance  at  tbe  head  of  the  homestretch, 
where  Middieton  was  being  sent  along  so  fast  that  it  looked  as 
if,  after  all,  he  might  win.  Lonnie  B..  too,  was  making  up 
ground  at  an  alarming  rale.  Bill  Howard  was  beaten  over  a 
sixteenth  from  home,  and  Clacquer  had  to  be  shaken  up  con- 
siderably to  beat  Lonnie  B.  half  a  length.  Bill  Howard  was 
third,  a   length  away,  Middieton  a  fair  fourth.     Time,  1:15},

[Winner  trained  by  <'y  Mulkcy.] 

The  Bpreckelfl  trio  (Piquante,  Pat  Murphy  and  Capt. 
Bkedance)  were  rated  in  the  books  (as  a  stable)  at  even 
money  for  a  time,  but  went  to  the  post  at  7  to  10.  Bellicoso 
opened  second  choice  at  3  to  I,  but  nm  odds  receded  to  7  to  1. 
Etey  Alfonso  vu  hacked  down  from  G  to  3  to  1.  Lady  Jbdq 
was  at  In       1,  the  others  from   15  to  100  to  1.     To   a  grand

Pat  Murph  .  and  Lady  Jane  ran  close  together  for  a  few 
stride,  then  Bellicoso  .showed  in  front.  Gradually  drawing 
away  as  they  neared  the  straight,  he  entered  the  homestretch 


a  length  ahead  of  Pat  Murphy,  who  was  but  a  head  from 
Lady  Jane,  Piquaute  another  half  length  away.  Bozeman 
began  working  on  Bellicoso  soon  after  they  were  straightened 
out,  and  it  appeared  all  over  but  the  shouting.  A  sixteenth 
from  home  Bozeman  was  at  the  bat,  and  Piquante  was  com- 
ing along  to  give  battle.  Twenty  yards  from  the  finish  the 
pair  were  head  and-head,  but  Carr  was  doing  the  best  riding, 
and  in  a  drive  shot  Piquante  in  a  winner  by  a  short  head, 
Bellicoso  second,  one  and  one-half  lengths  from  Pat  Mur- 
phy, who  just  beat  Model  a  nose  for  the  show.  Key  Alfonso 
got  away  absolutely  last,  and  finished  a  good  fifth.  The  lime 
was  0:49 J,  and  the  best  youngster,  to  our  minds,  did  not  win. 
Cv  Mulkey  had  his  charge  seasoned,  and  that  told  lo-day's 
tale.

[Winner  trained  by  Cy.  Mulkey.] 

Red  Root  was  a  favorite,  and  played  as  if  it  were  all  over 
but  the  shouting .  He  opened  at  2  to  1,  closed  at  6  to  5.  Imp. 
Candid  wasnext  in  demand  at  4  to  1.  Hy  Dy  and  Sir  Reel 
were  at  5  to  1  each,  imp.  Trentola  b'  (backed  down  from  8), 
Happy  Day  10,  Castro  12  and  Herald  15  to  1.  To  a  good 
start  the  order  was  Trentola,  Castro,  Candid.  Trentola  and 
Herald  ran  nose-and-nose  past  the  quarter-pole,  Castro  at 
their  heels  and  lapped  by  Sir  Reel.  The  last-named  soon 
forged  to  the  fore,  and  passing  the  half-pole  his  nose  showed 
in  front  of  Trentola,  who  was  a  neck  from  Castro,  he  as  far 
from  Candid.  A  little  less  than  three  furlongs  from  home 
Candid  showed  in  the  van,  and  as  she  got  clear  she  ran  away 
from  her  rivals  at  a  great  pace.  Red  Root  was  coming  through 
the  bunch  with  that  great  rush  of  his,  but  he  was  about  two 
lengths  behind  the  long-striding  black  mare  as  they  swung 
into  the  straight,Sir  Reel  being  lapped  on  him.  Candid  did  not 
lose  any  of  her  lead  until  about  a  sixteenth  from  home,  when 
Red  Root  set  sail  and  Hy  Dy  came  from  the  bunch  like  a 
whirlwind.  The  black  filly  was  not  to  be  caught,  though, 
being  a  "stretch  horse  "  of  no  mean  ability  herself,  and  she 
won  by  a  neck  in  a  drive,  Red  Root  finishing  second,  two 
lengths  from  Hy  Dy,  who  beat  Sir  Reel  about  a  length. 
Time,  1:48£— a  fine  run  at  this  time  of  year.

about  a  leugth,  Long  d'Or  lapped  on  Van.  This  was  the

ELEVENTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  APRIL  17. 

This  was  a  bad  day  for  favorites  and  a  good  afternoon  for 
the  bookmakers.  A  favorite  won  the  first  race,  and  then 
the  long  shots  (getting  longer  as  they  went  along),  kept  up 
their  winning  gait  the  balance  of  the  day.  A  4  to  1  chance 
wen  the  second  event,  a  C  to  1  shot  the  third,  a  12  to  1-er 
the  fourth  and  a  20  to  1  chance  the  last.  The 
agony  of  the  form-players  can  better  be  imagined 
than  described.  Ilackett  was  backed  from  tbe  list 
of  jockeys  at  one  fell  swoop  of  the  Board  of  Stewards 
for  his  wreak  ride  ou  Lady  Jane  in  the  first  race,  but  as  the 
youth  has  not  had  a  world  of  experience,  his  poor  showing 
perhaps  can  be  laid  at  the  door  of  incompetency  rather  than 
roguery.  At  any  rale,  the  stewards  were  correct  in  their 
ruling.  Tbe  attendance  was  good  and  the  racing  excellent.

hand,  but  it  is  not  to  be  compared  to  the  one  that  retired  last 
Saturday,  which  gave  eminent  satisfaction  to  lovers  of  good 
music. 

Rey  Alfonso  simply  galloped  in  a  winner  by  two  lengths 
in  the  first  race  in  the  fast  time  of  0:49J,  equalling  the  local 
track  record  for  the  season.  That  he  did  this  with  over  half 
a  second  up  his  sleeve  is  certain.  Venus  beat  Lady  Jane  a 
nose  for  the  place,  and  Hackettwas  ruled  oft'  as  staled  above. 

Herald,  Charles  Kerr's  grand-looking  Kyrle  Daly  horse, 
that  has  appeared  but  twice  since  he  was  s  two-year-old  (that 
was  three  years  ago),  woo  the  second  race  in  the  games! 
fashion  by  a  nose  from  Blue  and  White,  who  beat  Rosalie  a 
head.     The  latter  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a  length. 

Guard  won  the  third  race  by  a  short  head.  He  was  played 
for  a  killing  at  odds  of  0  and  8  to  1.  The  kindest  thing  that 
can  be  said  of  Sloan  is  that  he  did  not  win  with  Bill  Howard 
because  he  was  pocketed  a  sixteenth  from  home.  Midget 
even  beat  Howard  out  of  the  place. 

Melanita  was  an  easy  winuer  in  the  fourth  event,  and  as  good 
as  12  to  1  was  to  be  had  about  her  too.  Nellie  Van  led  up  to 
about  the  last  sixteenth,  then  Melanita  beat  her  out  two 
lengths,  Promise  being  third,  lapped  on  Nellie  Van.  Palm 
Sunday,  one  of  the  last  away,  looked  dangerous  a  furlong 
from  home. 

The  greatest  surprise  of  the  day  came  in  the  last  race, 
when  Queen  of  Scois,  a  20  to  1  shot,  won  easily  by  two 
lengths  from  Trix,  Morven  being  third.  Border  Lassie,  th« 
favorite,  clearly  does  Dot  like  weight.  Chemuck,  tbe  second 
choice,  got  away  poorly.

Rosalie  as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch,  Blue  and  White 
another  length  away.  Blue  and  White  came  again  in  the 
straight,  and  looked  very  dangerous  100  yards  from  the 
wire,  but  Herald,  who  was  running  in  his  old-time  form, 
outlasted  her  and  won  by  a  nose  from  Blue  and  White,  she

Border  Lassie  was  a  well-played  favorite,  opening  at  2  to  1, 
closing  a  9  to  5.  Chemuck  was  at  3  to  3,  Trix  4,  Morven  6, 
Queen  of  Scots  20,  the  others  from  to  to  GO  to  1.  To  a  start 
that  was  not  of  the  best  Trix,  Queen  of  Scots,  Border  Lassie 
was  the  order.  At  the  half  Queen  of  Scots  and  Border  Las- 
sie, the  two  daughters  of  Cheviot,  were  racing  head-and-head 
in  front-  two  lengths  from  Trix,  who  was  a  head  only  in  front 
of  Morven.  Morven  gained  fast  as  they  neartd  the  home- 
stretch, Border  Lassie  falling  back  to  third  place.  Queen  of 
Scots  was  first  into  the  straight  by  a  length,  and  though  Trix 
was  sent  along  for  all  he  was  worth  in  the  homestretch,  he

Burlingamo  Country  Club  Races. 

The  Burlingame  Country  Club  held  its  initial  race  meeting 
at  its  grounds  on  Saturday,  and  called  not  only  the  residents 
of  the  neighborhood,  but  many  visitors  from  the  city. 

The  beautiful  grounds  of  the  club  were  not  inclosed  in  any 
way.  The  freedom  of  the  'place  was  given  to  all  comers  for 
the  occasion. 

D.  O.  Mills  occupied  a  rig,and  with  him  sat  his  son-in-law, 
Whitelaw  Reid.  Mrs.  Reid  and  children  occupied  aseparate 
'  carriage. 

There  were  three  races — first,  a  half-mile  fiat,  for  ponies  ; 
I  Becond,  a  steeplechase,  one  and  a  quarter  miles,  for  ponies; 
third,  one  mile  flat,  for  horses. 

In  the  first  there  were  eight  entries,  in  the  second  three 
and  in  the  third  six,  but  only  five  started. 

Glory,  the  smiles  of  the  ladies  and  the  congratulations  of 
their  iel  low-members  were  the  only  reward  for  the  winners 
in  the  first  and  third  races.  The  winner  in  the  steeplechase 
■received  the  "Burlingame  place" — a  silver  cup  of  special 
fashioning,  which  remains  the  property  of  the  club,but  is  held 
by  the  individual  for  a  year,  when,  if  he  dees  not  prove  him- 
self worthy  in  the  next  steeplechase,  he  will  have  to  hand  it 
over  to  the  man  who  does. 
'      A  number  of  horses  of  local  renown  figured  in  the  events. 

In  the  first  and  third  events  the  ponies  were  ridden  with 
catch  weights,  but  for  the  steeplechase  weights  were  reck- 
oned, 185  for  thoroughbreds,  170  for  other  horses;  seven 
pounds  allowance  offfor  each  inch  under  sixteen  hands. 

Following  are  the  names  of  the  ponies,  their  riders  and

The  steeplechase,  also  for  ponies,  had  but  three  starters,  J. 
8.  Tobin  (orange  and  black)  riding  Mab,  H.  R.  Simpkins 
(cherry^and  blue)  riding  Jumping  Jack  and  R.  M.  Tobin 
(green  and  old  gold)  riding  Galloping  Dick.  The  mile  and 
a  quarter  course  was  crossed  by  four  hurdles  and  a  water  gap 
and  the  three  ponies,  carrying  weights  of  an  average  of  160 
pounds,  took  all  of  the  five  jumps  in  good  form. 

Galloping  Dick  led  the  way  at  the  finish,  with  Jumping 
lack  and  Mab  following  in  the  order  named,  wbich  was  an 
;xact  reversal  of  the  order  in  which  they  were  listed  on  the 
•acing  cards.     Mr.  Tobin  now  has  the  club  plate. 

There  were  six  entries  for  the  mile  race  for  horses,  but  C.

isted  to  ride  Bliss,butupon  the  withdrawal  of  Easter  John  Mr. 
Tobin  gave  way  to  Mr.  Farnsworth,  who  rode  the  mare  close

The       Great       Broodmare,     Beautiful       Bells- 
Record    2:29  1-2. 

Beautiful  Bells  is  a  iiandsome  black  mare,  15.2  hands ; 
star  and  strip  ;  off'  hind  ankle  white  ;  foaled  1872.  Bred  by 
Hon.  L.  J.  Rose,  Sunny  Slope,  California.  Was  sold  to  Mr. 
Warren  Loose  in  1S7S,  who  bred  her  to  Electioneer  in  1879 
and,  after  foaling  Hinda  Rose,  was  purchased  by  the  late 
Hon.  Leland  Stanford  and  is  still  the  properly  of  the  estate. 

Beautiful  Bells  was  sired  by  The  Moor  870,  dam  the  great 
broodmare  Minnehaha,  by  Bald  Chief  (Steven's). 

Beautiful  Bells  is  not  only  known  as  a  great  broodmare  and 
a  producer  of  extreme  speed,  but  she  is  also  a  prolific  breeder 
having  had  fifteen  consecutive  foals,  her  last  a  handsome 
brown  filly,  by  Electricity,  foaled  April  10,  1894. 

Her  produce  has  been  uniform,  rich  in  color,  speedy,  and 
in  turn  producing  speed.  Beautiful  Bells  has  had  eight  colts 
and  seven  fillies,  yet  maternal  cares  do  not  seem  to  alter  her 
appearance,  and  though  she  is  now  twenty-two  years  old 
looks  as  hright  and  is  as  active  as  many  of  the  younger  mares 
at  Palo  Alto.  Her  yearling  colt  by  Advertiser,  2:15},  is 
showing  so  well  that  it  has  been  decided  to  breed  her  back 
this  year  to  the  son  of  Electioneer  and  Lulu  Wilkes. 

Beautiful  Bells  stands  pre-eminently  alone  as  the  pro- 
ducer of  extreme  speed,  having  four  in  the  2:20  list.  Bell- 
flower,  2:122;  Bell  Boy,  2:19];  Hinda  Rose,  2:19$,  and  Bow 
Bells  2:19k  This  is  the  public  record,  but  it  does  not  show 
the  true  greatness  of  Beautiful  Bells  as  a  producer  of  extreme 


The  record  of  Hinda  Rose,  2:19],  as  a  three-year-old,  was 
considered  only  a  stiff  jog  for  her  the  last  time  she  was 
trained  by  Mr.  Chas.  Marvin.  It  is  a  fact,  well  known  at  Palo 
Alto.that  Governor  Stanford,  John  Phippen  and  Mr.  Marvin 
timed  her  a  quarter  in  29-]  seconds.  Mr.  Marvin  making  the 
last  eighth  in  14  seconds,  and  it  was  believed  she  could  trot  a 
mile  in  2:12  or  better. 

Besides  the  four  mentioned  as  having  records  belter  than 
2:20,  three  others  have  thown  their  ability  to  trot  much  faster. 
St.  Bel  is  credited  with  showing  a  mile  in  2:12,  Chimes  a  mile 
at  Buffalo  in  2:16,  and  Bell  Bird  can  beat  2:20  any  time  she 
is  asked  to  do  it.  The  record  of  Palo  Alto  Belle,  2:22^>,  as  a 
three-year-old  under  the  old  way  of  going  is  certainly  belter 
than  2:20  under  the  preseut. 

The  produce  of  Beautiful  Bells  not  in  the  list  are:  Alta 
Belle,  Rosemont,  Chimes,  Electric  Bell,  Belsire,  Day  Bell, 
Abdell,  and  the  suckling  by  Electricity. 

Mr.  Samuel  Gamble  handled  Alta  Belle  for  a  short  time, 
and  says  she  could  show  quarters  in  35  seconds,  a  2:20  gait- 
This  mare  was  injured  before  being  broke  and  was  always 
more  or  less  a  cripple.  She  is  the  dam  of  D-ighestan  (two- 
year-old),  2:25],  by  Stamboul,  2:07£. 

Rosemont  did  not  show  much  speed,  but  has  produced  Mont 
Rose  (3),  2:18,  and  Sweet  Rose  (1),  2:25f. 

Chimes  has  a  record  of  2:30ij  as  a  three-year-old.  His  abil- 
ity to  trot  much  faster  has  been  shown  by  his  trial  in  2:16. 
He  stands  as  the  peer  of  all  yuung  stallions  as  a  sire  of  trot- 
ters, and,  in  average  of  speed  produced,  is  at  the  lop  of  the 
list. 

Electric  Bell  and  Belsire  are  the  premier  stallions  at  Pros- 
pect Hill  Stock  Farm,  the  property  of  Messrs.  Miller  and 
Sibley. 

Day  Bell  (2),  by  Palo  Alio,  while  not  worked  for  any  event 
as  a  yearling,  snowed  quarters  in  forty  seconds.  He  is  one  of 
the  finest  individuals  at  Palo  Alto,  level-headed,  good-gaited 
and  is  destined  to  make  a  great  horse. 

Abdell  (1),  by  Advertiser,  is  in  training  for  the  yearling 
stakes,  and  is  showing  fast  enough  to  get  some  of   the  money. 

The  suckling  by  Electricity  we  will  have  lo  leave  to  the 
future. 

The  greatness  of  Beautiful  Bells  has  been  seriously  crip- 
pled by  the  untimely  death  of  her  two  great  sons,  St.  Bel  and 
Bell  Boy,  but  through  her  living  sons  and  daughters  who 
are  reproducing  extreme  speed,  the  name  of  Beautiful  Bells 
will  stand  side  by  side  with  Green  Mountain  Maid,  the 
mother  of  Electioneer,  the  stallion  that  contributed  so  much 
to  Bell's  success.

Lispings  Prom  Lodi. 

The  Lodi  race  track,  now  under  the  management  of  Jobn 
Robinette,  who  is  doing  his  best  to  carry  out  his  instructions 
of  the  old  horsemen  who  understood  what  a  track  ought  to 
be  in  order  to  secure  the  best  results,  is  in  splendid  con- 
dition and  by  the  time  the  regular  annual  meeting  takes 
place  here,  in  August  next,  our  track  will  be  in  a  condition 
second  to  none  in  the  State,  and  all  the  visiting  horsemen 
willbeglad  to  take  advantage  of  such  a  fine,  all-the-year 
round  track  as  Lodi  affords. 

It  is  not  generally  known  that  there  are  something  over 
sixty  fine  pacers,  trotters  and  runners  at  the  track.  T.  E. 
Keating  has  twelve  head  now  being  worked  here;  Charles 
David  has  five;  W.  G.  Lemon,  ot  Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  has 
four;  G.  Fox,  of  Angels,  has  six;  Free  Haney  has  six;  Les- 
ter McDonald  has  two;  MikeCostello  has  three;  G.  Peirano 
has  three;  Frank  Keagle  has  one;  B.  F.  Sprague  has  two; 
George  Stortz  has  lwo;T.  A.  Jackson  has  three  and  John  VV. 
Dougherty  has  two. 

Bess  Clark,  Harry  de  Grote  and  John  Robinette  all  have  a 
few  bangtails  here,  and  are  working  them  for  all  they  are 
worth  for  exhibition  and  prize-winning  on  the  circuit  this 
season. 

All  of  these  horses — or  nearly  all  of  them — are  promising 
youngsters  of  some  of  the  most  renowned  gets  of  the  State,  a  nd 
it  is  known  that  several  of  them  are  doing  remarkable  miles. 
As  an  old  local  horseman  told  a  Review-Budget  reporter  the 
other  day,  "the  Lodi  track  horses  will  show  more  speed  when 
called  upon  this  yeartbao  they  have  at  any  time  since  the 
track  has  been  sstablished."  Some  of  the  performances  when 
the  youngsters  are  being  worked  are  well  worth  going  many 
miles  to  see,  and  they  will  surely  result  in  many  first  places 
for  Lodi  this  year. 

T.  E.  Keating  of  Lodi  is  making  extensive  arrangements  to 
take  his  string  of  trotters  out  to  make  the  Montana  Circuit, 
and  will  probably  leave  here  early  in  June.  He  has  some 
surprises  among  the  lot,  and  expects  them  to  be  heard  from 
at  a  later  date. 

Many  of  the  local  horsemen  are  doing  little  more  than  is 
necessary  to  get  their  horses  in  shape  for  the  August  meeting 
tlthi'i^h  sijii  of  them  inteil  10  take  ia  not  only  the 
whole  circuit,  but  a  majority  of  the  prizes  for  which  they  en- 
ter their  horses.  There  are  horses  here  that  will  be  entered 
in  all  classes,  and  they  will  be  among  the  first  imder  the  wire 
no  matter  what  is  brought  against  them  when  the  flag  drops. 

Pleasanton  people  are  making  great  brags  abcut  what  they 
intend  doing  during  the  coming  season  with  some  of  their 
star  horses,  but  taking  all  things  together,  Lodi  will  not  be 
many  heads  behind  when  record- breakers  and  prize-winners 
are  counted. — Lodi  Review-Budget. 

Lady  Fracture,  by  Electioneer. 

One  of  the  most  highly  esteemed  broodmares  in  the  pad- 
dock at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm  is  a  small  thoroughbred 
looking  bay  mare  mith  two  very  badly  set  legs  for  they 
were  broken  in  three  places  and  allowed  to  knit,  as  the 
groom  said,  ''  to  the  best  of  their  ability."  As  the  possessor 
of  these  two  broken  lees,  she  is  designated  as  Lady  Fracture. 
How  she  was  injured,  we  have  had  no  means  of  ascertaining. 
With  the  exception  of  these  blemishes,  she  is  apparently  a 
very  well  formed  mare.  Lady  Fracture  has  a  strange  history. 
It  was  told  us  by  a  gentleman  who  remembers  her  since  her 
arrival  in  San  Joaquin  County.  She  was  foaled  at  Palo  Alto 
by  Electioneer,  out  of  a  mare  by  Don  Victor,  and,  owing  lo 
a  deformed  limb  caused  it  is  supposed  by  her  dam's  step- 
ping on  it,  the  little  thing  was  ordered  to  be  destroyed,  but 
one  of  the  men  took  compassion  on  her  and  saved  her  after 
awhile  she  was  sold  by  Chet.  Lusk  lo  two  men,  one  was  named 
Greene  and  the  other  Dodge.  The  latter  brought  the  filly 
to  his  ranch  between  Stockton  and  Lodi,  and  as  Dexter 
Prince  was  standing  at  L.  M.  Morse's  place  near  Lodi,  the 
little  bay  mare  was  bred  to  him.  Her  first  colt  in  1886  was 
very  handsome,  but,  unfortunately,  it  was  killed.  Her  next 
foal  was  a  filly  and  it  is  known  as  Jessie,  2:22  ;  the  follow- 
ing year  she  dropped  a  colt  that  is  now  known  asFitzsim- 
mons ;  he  has  a  record  of  2:20.  Mr.  Dodge  met  wilh  mis- 
fortune and  was  compelled  to  sell  all  of  his  stock,  farming 
implements,  etc.,  Mr.  Morse  attended  the  sale  and  purchased 
Lady  Fracture  for  the  sum  of  twenty-five  dollars.  He  bred 
her  regularly  every  year  Lo  Dexter  Prince.  The  year  after 
be  purchased  her  she  had  a  bay  coll  that  became  crippled  as 
the  result  of  a  runaway.  Her  next  foal  was  also  a  colt  ;  it 
was  injured  and  is  now  at  Lodi.  The  following  year,  when 
Dan  McCarty  purchased  Dexter  Prince  he  also  secured  Ladv 
Fracture,  and  her  next  foal  being  a  filly  was  named  Princess 
McCarty.  This  mare  will  go  in  2:20  this  season.  The  old  mare 
never  missed; for  twoyears  ago  in  1892,shedropped  a  finecolt 
called  Prince  William.  Last  year  her  foal,  which  was  also  a 
colt,  came,  and  it  is  called  Dexterity,  and  the  filly  by  her  side 
is  known  as  Brookdale  Princess.  This  year.unforlunately, 
she  could  not  be  bred  to  Dexter  Prince  as  that  horse  is  now 
at  Palo  Alto,  so  Mr.  Pierce  decided  to  breed  her  lo  Sidney 
Dillon  (a  brother  to  Adonis,  2:1  H  and  Cupid,  2:18)  by  Sid- 
ney, out  of  Venus  by  Venture.  Mr.  Pierce  has  Princess  Mc- 
Carty, Prince]William,  Dexterity,  and  Brookdale  Princess  at 
his  farm  near  Santa  Rosa  now.  All  of  the  old  mare's  produce 
are  bay  in  color  and  resemble  each  other  in  many  respects. 
They  are  pure  trottersand  the  four  that  are  in  Mr.  Pierce's 
possesion  will  be  trained  for  speed.  The  search  after  more 
complete  particulars  confirming  this  story  of  Lady  Fracture's 
breeding,  will  be  continued. 

A  Boon  to  Horse-Owners. 


The  horse  that  rubs  his  mane  or  tail  or  has  bad  feet  can 
be  remedied  by  Dr.  Valerius  it  Co.'e  "  Hoof,  Hair,  Tail  and 
Mane  Grower."  It  stops  the  itching  of  the  mane  and  tail  at 
once  and  immediately  gr^ws  new  hair  where  the  old  has  been 
rubbed  off.  If  applied  to  a  broken  or  imperfect  foot,  it  causes 
anew  hoof  to  grow  in  a  very  short  time.  It  is  worth  its 
weight  in  gold  to  every  hcrseman. 

A  box  of  the  magical  preparation  can  be  obtained  by 
sending  $1  to  Dr.  Valerius  &Co.,  Watertown,  Wis.

Animal  Tuberculosis  and  its  Relations  to  Pub- 
lic Health. 


By  Pk.-i.  Taos.  Bowhiu  ,  F.  B.C.  V.&,  F.  K.  P.  S.  i 


l/, ,.,_( >|iioioos  are  much  divided  regarding  the  danger  at- 
tending the  consumption  of  the  llesh  of  tuberculous  animals. 

It  is  couteuded  bv  souje  that  "  human  phthisis  comes  fre- 
quently from  the  butcher's  stall/*  that  bovine  tuberculosis  is 
a  disease  ■'  •"    aud    lhat   the  entire  carcass 

ought  to  be  condemned  whenever  a  tuberculous  lesion,  no 
matter  how  circumscribed  its  apparent  limits,  is  discovered 
in  the  body.  Again,  others  maintain  that  only  a  small  pro- 
portion of  cases  of  human  tuberculosis  can,  with  any  reason, 
be  ascribed  to  infection  through  tuberculous  flesh,  that  in  the 
vast  majority  of  cases,  bovine  tuberculosis  is  a  local  disease, 
and  that  the  health  of  the  public  is  sufficiently  safe  guarded 
when  the  visibly  diseased  parts  and  their  lymph  glands  are 
withdrawn  from  consumption. 

The  opinion  that  the  consumption  of  tuberculous  flesh  is 
a  main  cause  of  human  tuberculosis  isuegatived  by  every  con- 
sideration bearing  on  the  point. 

1.  In  the  majority  of  cases  of  human  tuberculosis  the 
primary  lesions  are  situated  in  the  lungs  or  bronchial  glands, 

2.  Countless  experiments  prove  lha*  such  a  localization  of 
the  lesions  indicates  unmistakably  that  the  virus  had  pene- 
trated by  tbe  respiratory  mucous  membrane. 

3.  Even  if  bovine  tuberculosis  was  stamped  out  of  exist- 
ence, phthisis  might  continue  to  rank  as  the  greatest  scourge 
of  the  human  race. 

Only  those  cases  of  tuberculosis  in  which  tbe  primary 
lesions  are  seated  in  the  alimentary  canals  or  its  associated 
lymphatic  glands,  can  reasonably  be  ascribed  to  infection  by 
means  of  bacilli  contained  in  ingesta,  and  indeed  of  this  re- 
stricted list  many  cases  are  almost  certainly  due  to  ingestion 
ot  bacilli  that  previously  had  a  human  beiog  for  a  host.  But 
admitting  all  this,  the  danger  attending  the  use  of  tuberculous 
flesh  is  still  to  the  human  sanitarian  a  matter  demanding 
careful  consideration.  McFadyean  states  if  only  1  per  cent  of 
cases  of  tuberculosis  in  mau  were  caused  by  eating  flesh  from 
tuberculosis  animals,  it  would  still  be  the  duly  of  medical 
men  and  veterinary  surgeons  to  make  every  effort  to  render 
the  transmission  of  the  disease  in  lhat  way  impossible. 

Maov  contend  that  in  a  large  proportion  of  the  cases  of 
tuberculosis  when  the  discoverable  lesions  are  confined  to  one 
organ  and  its  lymph  glands,  the  bacilli  are  already  distri- 
buted throughout  the  entire  system  by  means  of  the  blood 
stream  Others  again  hold  the  opinion  that  bovine  tubercu- 
losis, like  actino-mycosis,  is  in  the  majority  of  cases  a  local 
disease,  and  that  the  entire  system  is  contaminated  with 
bacilli  in  only  a  small  proportion  of  cases. 

Experiments  with  expressed  muscle  juice  from  tuberculous 
cases  have  been  conducted  by  Bollinger,  Xocard,  Galtier  and 
McFadyean. 

Bollinger  found  the  juice  non-infective  in  every  case  (12). 
Nocard  found  it  infective  once  in  2i  experiments.  Galtier 
found  it  non-infective  in  every  case  (14).  It  will  thus  be 
seen  that  out  of  72  carcasses  experimented  with,  a  positive  re- 
sult was  obtained  in  seven  cases,  and  it  is  also  noteworthy  six 
of  those  cases  occured  in  the  bands  of  one   investigator. 

To  come  to  the  conclusion  that  muscular  infection  took 
place  in  about  10  per  cent,  of  all  cases  of  apparently  local 
tuberculosis  would  be  somewhat  premature  until  a  larger 
number  of  experiments  are  conducted,  and  thus  remove  the 
doubt  that  some  of  the  positive  results  obtained  by  Galtier 
were  due  to  accidental  infection. 

The  International  Congress  for  the  study  of  tuberculosis 
held  in  Paris  in  18SS,  voted  in  favor  of  total  seizure,  and  a 
similar  resolution  was  almost  unanimously  passed  by  the 
International  Veterinary  Congress  that  met  in  the  same  city 
in  1889. 

The  resolutions  of  18SS  and  18S9  are  is  keeping  with 
the  inspection  made  by  i  he  Hebrews,  who  were  and  are  still 
in  advance  of  our  present  knowledge,  and  there  is  little 
doubt  that  the  Talmud  lays  down  rules  regarding  tubercular 
meats  which  are  in  advance  of  tbe  boasted  civilization  of 
the  present  time,  A  Hebrew  butcher  in  an  English  town 
was  asked  what  he  did  with  meats  condemned  by  the  rules 
of  his  religion.  His  answer  came  readily  "  Sold  it  to  the 
I  .entile.-.''  In  meat  as  well  as  in  other  commodities,  the 
Hebrew  has  the  advantage  of  his  Gentile  neighbors.  It  is 
not  the  range  cattle  from  which  we  get  our  tubercular  meat 
in  this  State,  it  is  the  old-worn  dairy  cows,  some  of  them 
hardly  able  to  stand  up,  that  are  slaughtered  for  human 
food.  It  is  reasonable  to  understand  why  range  cattle  are  so 
healthy;  it  is  their  surroundings,  healthy  diet  and  above  all 
a'liberal  supply  of  fresh  air.  To  understand  the  eflect  out- 
door life  has  on  tuberculosis,  just  consider  that  during  five 
years  one  million  and  a  half  sheep  were  killed  in  Berlin 
and  only  one  condemned  for  tubercle.  I  may  state  that  dur- 
ing my  inspectorship  in  San  Francisco,  I  never  seized  a  car- 
cess  for  tuberculosis  amongst  range  cattle  or  sheep.  The  old 
dairy  cows  yielded  enough  without  any  outside  assistance, 
and  who  knows  how  much  contagion  they  spread  before  be- 
ing slaughtered.  Of  course,  greater  danger  exists  in  using 
the  milk  of  tuberculous  animals  than  there  is  in  using  the 
llesh,  because  the  meat  is  used  in  a  cooked  state,  and  as  al- 
ready mentioned,  thorough  cooking  destroys  the  bacilli;  not 
ho  with  milk  which  is  used  in  the  raw  state.  It  seems  great 
waste  to  have  all  the  carcasses  of  well-fed  animals,  which 
are  only  slightly  tainted  with  tuberculosis,  destroyed,  while 
plenty  of  poor  people  in  some  great  cities  are  reduced  to 
fUraits  from  lack  of  food  (this  applies  to  cities  with  a  regular 
set  of  veterinary  inspectors).  This  fact  is  recognized  in 
Oermany  and  in  Berlin.  There  are  large  udepoU"  estab- 
lished where  all  carcasses  condemned  for  tuberculosis  are 
thoroughly  cooked  by  means  of  superheated  steam,  so  that 
the  bacilli  are  absolutely  destroyed,  and  then  that  meat  is  sold 
to  the  poor  peopleof  the  city  at  a  nominal  price.  Fortunately 
for  this  State,  poverty  and  want  do  not  appear  to  have  ar- 
rived at  this  stage  yet.  We  must  act  justly  towards  the  butch- 
ers and  dairymen,  a  body  of  men  on  whom  we  depend  for 
the  necessaries  of  our  existence,  and  in  no  way  formulate 
rules  or  regulations  liable  to  hamper  their  trade,  but  it  is  the 
duly  of  the  Stite  Sanitary  Board  to  see  that  every  precaution 
is  taken  lhat  tubercular  meat  and  especially  milk  from  tu- 
berculous cows  are  not  sold  to  the  coramuoity. 

To  trust  to  unqualified  men  as  inspectors  is  like  an  insur- 
ance company  trusting  to  its  clerks  to  say  what  is  a  good  life. 
The  stake  i--  infinitely  greater  in  one  case  than  the  other — in 
the  insurance  company  the  admission  of  an  unsound  life 
means  a  diminished  quinquennial  bonus — the  admission  of 
unsound  meat  and  diseased  milk  means  the  life  of  the  con- 


PiO}>l<>il">!s, — Under  this  heading  we  open  a  wide  field  for 
discussion  as  to  what  are  the  circumstances  that  contribute  to 
the  present  prevalence  of  tuberculosis  among  our  domestica- 
ted animals. 

1.  Predisposition — That  tuberculosis  is  a  contagious  dis- 
ease, caused  by  a  specific  bacillus,  admits  of  no  discussion.  A 
number  of  investigators  believe  that  ihe  appearance  of  tuber- 
cular infection  always  depends  on  a  previously  existing  dispo- 
sition of  the  body  afHicted.  The  fact  cannot  be  disputed  that 
a  series  of  circumstances  certainly  favor  the  transmission  of 
tubercle  bacilli,  and  that  a  general  debilitation  of  the  organ- 
ism, imperfect  respiration,  catarrhal  infection  of  the  upper 
air  passages,  etc,  have  their  influence.  Indeed  we  might  say 
that  the  observed  facts  on  both  human  and  veterinary  prac- 
tice strongly  suppart  the  view  that  with  tuberculosis,  as  with 
several  other  diseases,  the  tissues  of  certain  individuals  and 
races  otter  an  unusually  congenial  soil  for  the  propagation  of 
the  parasi'e. 

The  Shorthorn,  Jersey  and  Ayrshire  breeds  of  cattle  are 
almost  unusually  credited  with  a  marked  susceptibility  or 
predisposition  to  tuberculosis.  No  doubt  this  is  true,  but 
other  factors  besides  racial  predisposition  may  contribute  to 
this  result. 

1L  lity, — Regarding  this  second  great  question  if  tuber- 
culosis is  frequently  inherited,  many  will,  without  hesitation 
answer  in  the  affirmative,  believing  that  the  alarming  preva- 
lence of  the  disease  is  due  to  the  transmission  from  the  bull 
or  cow  to  the  calf  before  the  birth  of  the  latter.  Others  again 
consider  that  in  all  but  an  insignificant  proportion  of  cases 
the  disease  is  contracted  after  birth  through  contact  with  cat- 
tle already  affected  with  tuberculosis. 


resistance  in  infection  when  they  are  housed  with  tuberculous 
animals  in  badlv  ventilated  buildings. 

Tuberculosis,  as  far  as  our  present  knowledge  extends,  is  an 
incurable  disease,  but  at  the  same  time  an  eminently  prevent- 
able one,  and  its  present  alarming  prevalence  is  the  natural 
result  of  an  almost  universal  neglect  of  those  prophylactic 
measures  that  are  indicated  in  the  case  of  every  infectious 
disease.  It  is  the  duty  of  the  State  sanitary  officials  and  the 
veterinary  profession  to  diffuse  among  stock-owners  a  knowl- 
edge of  the  true  nature  of  the  disease  and  to  point  out  what 
aie  ihe  rational  means  of  prevention. 

These  means  may  be  briefly  summed  up  as  follows  : 

1.  A  proper  svstem  of  State  inspection  whereby  the  State 
is  divided  into  districts,  and  all  inspectors  to  be  veterinarians 
of  experience. 

2.  Adequate  ventilation  of  cow-sheds  and  other  cattle 
buildings. 

3-  Cleanliness  and  periodic  disinfection  of  the  walls,  floor, 
woodwork,  etc. 

These  measures  could  not  be  expected  to  promptly  exter- 
minate such  an  insidious  and  wide-spread  disease  as  tubercu- 
losis, but  it  is  not  unreasonable  to  hope  that  if  systematically 
enforced  the  malady  would,  in  a  few  years,  be  reduced  within 
very  narrow  limits. 

That  this  article  is  a  compilation  necessary  speaks  for  it- 
self, and  the  material  and  results  of  recent  investigations 
have  been  selected  with  a  view  to  their  adapatibility,  and  at 
the  same  time,  with  special  attention  to  their  scientific  value. 

As  this  article  has  been  written  in  a  hurried  manner,  I 
trust  any  short-comings  may  be  looked  npon  as  an  omission 
not  purposely  made,  but  the  result  of  choosing  a  subject 
which,  to  do  it  justice,  would  entail  the  use  of  twenty  times 
the  space  occupied  by  this  paper.  It  is  owing  to  this  reason 
that  the  pathological  anatomy  in  connection  with  tubercul- 
ous lesions  has  been  omitted. 

Trusting  that  I  have  mentioned  sufficient  data  and  material 
for  a  hearty  discussion  I  leave  the  subject  in  your  bands, 
knowing  that  justice  will  be  done  and  any  shortcomings  over- 
looked.

Photo micrographic  section  nf  ralfs  hrain  showing  Tubercle  Bacilli 
magnified  1000  diameters. 

If  congenital  tuberculosis  were  common  then  tbe  bovine 
species  ought  to  furnish  a  large  number  of  examples.  First, 
tuberculosis  is  extremely  common  in  milch  cows.  Second, 
tuberculosis  of  the  genital  organs  of  the  cowis  very  frequent. 
Third,  a  large  number  of  calves  are  killed  and  eviscerated 
immediately  afterbirth. 

Taking  all  this  in  consideration,  we  find  on  record  only, 
seven  cases  of  undubitable congenital  tuberculosis  in  the  calf. 
It  is  true  Johne  found  tubercle  bacille  twice  in  the  organs  of 
embryos.  The  hereditarians  of  the  strictest  order  have  for 
years  danced  most  enthusiastically  around  the  calf  described 
by  Johne. 

I  have  seen  but  two  cases  of  undoubted  congenital  tuber- 
culosis in  calves,  one  in  Edinburgh,  and  one  I  found  recently 
in  this  State.  In  both  cases  the  lesions  were  those  of  tuber- 
cular meningitis,  and  the  photo  oncograph  accompanying 
this  article  is  taken  from  a  section  of  the  meninges  of  the 
brain  of  the  calf  found  in  this  State.  The  mother  of  the  calf 
was  tested  with  tuberculin,  re-acted,  and  was  slaughtered,  the 
post  mortem  examination  revealing  tubercular  lesions,  one 
ovary  being  affected. 

Can  we  object  to  these  observations  on  the  ground  that 
they  are  decided  exceptions  to  the  rule,  and  the  only  proof 
to  substantiate  this  objection  is  the  fact  that  the  proportion  of 
tuberculosis  is  vastly  greater  among  adults  than  among  young 
cattle. 

Infection. — If  the  tubercle  bacillus  is  not  ubiquitous,  and 
if,  save  in  quite  exceptional  instances,  animals  are  born  free 
from  lhat  organism,  how,  it  may  be  asked,  is  the  disease  con- 
tracted? 

In  the  case  of  cattle,  an  animal  that  is  already  the  subject 
of  tuberculosis  is  a  sort  of  natural  hot-bed  for  the  propagation 
of  the  specific  germ. 

In  every  tuberculous  focus  the  tubercle  bacilli  grow  and 
multiply,  and  in  many  instances  vast  numbers  of  the  organ- 
isms are  passed  into  the  outer  world  ;  every  tuberculous  ani- 
mal tends  to  contaminate  its  immediate  surroundings,  and  is 
a  source  of  danger  to  other  susceptible  animals  kept  in  con- 
tact with  it.  The  extent  of  contamination  depends  in  a  great 
measure  on  the  localization  of  the  disease.  When  the  serous 
membranes  and  lymph  glands  are  affected,  there  can  be  no 
outward  passage  of  bacilli.  The  case  is  quite  different  in 
lung  lesions,  for  then  the  bacilli  are  usually  discharged  into 
the  outer  world.  The  bacilli  pass  out  in  the  bronchial 
mucous  projected  through  the  mouth  or  nose  in  the  act  of 
coughing,  and  such  expectorated  mucus  adheres  to  any  sur- 
face it  comes  in  contact  with,  or  else  falls  to  the  ground.  In 
the  moist  condition  the  expectorate  is  only  slightly  danger- 
ous as  far  as  infectiou  by  the  respiratory  passage  is  concerned, 
but  it  soon  becomes  dessicaled,  and  if  detached,  passes  into 
the  atmosphere  as  dust,  to  be  inhaled  bv  any  inmate  of  the 
same  building.  McFadyean  mentions  this  as  the  common 
mode  of  infection  in  bovine  tuberculosis,  and  says  everything 
is  plain  if  such  a  view  is  adopted. 

Tuberculosis  is  a  disease  of  domestication — young  stock 
(except  through  milk  infection)  are  exposed  to  less  risk  than 
adult  stock,  for  they  are  less  closely  housed. 

Dairy  cows,  and  especially  those  kept  in  city  byrers  under 
mal-hygienic  conditions  are  the  most  frequent  victims  of  tu- 
berculosis. The  disease  proves  more  infectious  in  proportion 
as  the  ventilation  is  defective,  for  these  conditions  obviously 
favor  the  transmission  of  the  bacilli  from  animal  to  animal  in 
the  manner  above  sketched. 

As  previously  mentioned,  Shorthorns,  Jerseys  aud  Ayr- 
shires  are  credited  with  a  special  predisposition  to  this  dis- 
ease, but  it  must  be  remembered  that  »hese  breeds  par  ejrd- 
!■  i  '  are  our  most  highly  domesticated  breeds,  and  hence  the 
risks  of  infection  are  proportionally  great. 

This  is  further  illustrated  by  the  fact  that  even  West  High- 
land cattle  and  other  mountain  breeds  show   no  pronounced

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 

TWELFTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  APKIL  18. 

A  succession  of  unpleasant  surprises  turned  the  hair  of  the 
talent  prematurely  gray.  Again  four  favorites  sniffed  the 
dust  of  defeat,  and  as  three  of  the  four  non-favorites  were 
rather  long  shots,  it  was  very  difficult  to  figure  how  they 
could  get  their  noses  past  the  post  first.  In  consequence,  the 
pencilers  wallowed  in  the  wealth  of  the  form-players,  and 
the  latter  class  looked  as  if  life  were  not  worth 
living  when  the  last  winner  of  the  day  had  been  announced 
Sloan,  W.  Clancy,  L.  Lloyd,  Ames  and  Tuberville  were  the 
successful  pilots  of  the  afternoon,  and  all  rode  with  excellent 
judgment. 

Long  d'Or,  a  7  to  1  shot,  took  the  first  race  into  camp, 
beating  True  Briton  a  head,  while  a  nose  behind  the  Austra- 
lian came  Monita,  the  favorite,  who  quit  considerably  at  the 
close.  As  the  latter  is  credited  with  a  "dickey"  leg,  and  the 
horses  were  at  the  post  over  half  an  hour,  it  is  no  wonder 
Monita  was  beaten.  Starter  Ferguson  certainly  bad  great 
patience  with  My  Lady,  who  was  the  chief  disturber  at  the 
post. 

Circe  had  an  easy  victory  in  the  second  event.  Getting 
away  second  and  well  under  way,  she  was  soon  in  front,  and 
there  was  never  any  doubt  after  that  as  to  who  would  win. 
Monterey  ran  out  of  the  bunch  about  a  sixteenth  from  home, 
and  was  easily  second  by  three  lengths,  and  two  lengths  be- 
hind Circe.    Coquette  finished  third.   She  was  a  30  to  1  shot. 

Hotspur  and  Sir  Reel  made  a  great  finish  in  the  third, 
the  pair  running  nose-and-nose  for  nearly  a  sixteenth  [of  a 
mile,  the  former  winning  by  less  than  an  inch,  with  Hy  Dy 
third,  four  lengths  off.  Sympathetic's  Last,  Haymarket  and 
Happy   Band  made  a  poorsbowiog  in   the  race. 

Alesia  won  the  six-furlong  handicap  by  half  a  length  from 
Braw  Scot,  but  had  Covington  made  his  move  with  the  lat- 
ter fifty  yards  further  hack  the  gray  gelding  would  in  all  like- 
lihood have  secured  first  honors.  The  race  was  not  a  fast 
one  for  horses  of  their  class,  the  full  six  furlongs  being  run  in 
1:15.  With  104  pounds  up  (three  less  than  he  had  to-day), 
Braw  Scot  did  the  distance  in  1:14,  winning  handily  at  that. 

Londonville,  at  odds  of  S  and  10  to  1,  captured  the  con- 
cluding race,  with  Castro  lapped  on  him  and  Boston  Boy,  one 
of  the  favorites,  third.  When  the  latter  took  command  in  the 
homestretch  it  was  considered  all  over  but  the  whooping, 
but  the  Texas  horse  was  not  up  to  a  bruising  race,  not  hav- 
ing run  for  nearly  four  months,  and  tired  badly  at  the  close, 
Londonville  romping  in.  Castro  was,  however,  coming 
with  the  speed  of  a  Kansas  cyclone  at  the  finish,  catching  the 
commander  at  every  stride.

Monita  was  a  favorite  at  33  to  1,  though  he  opened  at  2-1.

casioned by  the  bad  actions  of  My  Lady  principally.  Finally 
the  flag  Hopped  to  a  fair  send-oft'.  True  Briton,  Not  Yet, 
Lilly  F.,  was  the  order  of  the  first  three.  At  the  half 
Monita  was  leading  by  half  a  length,  Lilly  F.  second,  three 
parts  of  a  length  from  Long  d'Or.  The  first-named  pair  were 
still  first  at  the  three-quarter  pole,  and  True  Briton  had  run 
up  third.  Monita  held  the  lead  up  to  the  last  eighty  jards, 
when  True  Briton  and  Long  d'Or  came  at  him  like  tigers, 
and  in  an  exciting  finish  Long  d'Or  won  rather  handily  by  a 
head,  True  Briton  second,  a  nose  from  Monita.    Time,  1:04.

Sir  Reel  was  a  hot  favorite,  backed  down  from  3i  to  1  to

at  him   seventy  five   yaros  from   the  finish,  the  pair  running 
nose  and  nose  to  the  end.     The  judges  decided  that  Hotspur

ran  into  the  lead  as  they  neared  the  homestretch,  and  into 
the  straight  was  half  a  length  in  front  of  Gussie,  Alesia  third,

Braw  Scot  closing  up  fast  from  the  rear.  Alesia  came  out  of 
the  bunch  like  a  flash  a  sixteenth  from  home,  and  it  looked 
for  a  moment  as  if  she  would  "win  by  a  block."  Braw  Scot 
rushed  like  a  whirlwind,  and  was  catching  the  filly  fast  as 
she  passed  the  finish  a  winner  by  half  a  length,  Romair  being

(backed  down  from  10),  Alexis  and  Queen  Bee  12  each,  the 
others  from  15  to  100  to  1.  To  a  straggling  start,  Auteuil, 
Viceroy,  Tillie  S.,  Inferno  was  the  order.  At  the  half  Au- 
teuil led  by  a  head,  Tillie  S.  second,  about  a  length  from  Bos- 
ton Boy.  The  latter  ran  up  fast  as  they  neared  the  home- 
stretch, and  shouts  went  up  that  he  was  winning  easily.  Tillie 
S.  led  into  the  straight  by  a  head,  and  Londonville  was  third, 
over  a  length  away.  It  looked  all  over  but  the  shouting  up 
to  tha  last  one  hundred  yards,  where  Boston  Boy  was  first 
half  a  length,  Londonville  second.  Boston  Boy  was  evidently 
not  fit  for  a  bruising  race,  and  tiring  badly,  Londonville  ran 
in  a  handy  winner  by  nearly  a  length  from  Castro,  who  was 
coming  like  a  minnie-ball  and  gaining  at  every  stride  very 
fast.  Over  a  length  behind  Castro  came  Boston  Boy,  third, 
a  Deck  in  front  of  Crawford,  who,  like  Castro,  had  made  a 
wonderfully  good  run.     The  time  was  1:14. 

THIRTEENTH    DAY — THURSDAY,  APRIL   19. 

Bound  and  round  the  little  ball  of  fate  goes,  and  it  stopped 

nearly  all  the  afternoon  in  the  "double  O."     Only  a  very 

I  few  had    their    checks   down    on    the  right  spot,  and   the 

;  dealer  swept   eighty   per  cent.,  at   least,  of  the    coin   into 

i  his  strong  box.  Talk  about  "  form  !"  Why,  it  ain't  in  it  with 

,  good  luck.     Give  us  a  good  "  hunch  "  on  a  20  or  a  100  to  1 

,  shot,  and  keep  on  with  your  mathematical  calculations  as  to 

weight  and  time-     In  short,  the  bookmakers  got  most  of  the 

;  money  to-day.  Any"studenl"  that  escaped  with  coin  will  please 

call  at  the  office  of  the  bookmakers'  association  and  receive  a 

j  heavy  leather  medal  and  a  speech  lauding  him  for  his  ex- 

'  treme  cleverness.     Not  a  siDgle  decided  favorite  got  home  in 

front  this  very  sultrj  afternoon.     True,  Malo  Diablo  won  at  2 

i  to  1,  but  Lady  Jane  was  at   the  same  figure,  so  that  sort  o' 

j  offsets  it.     The  Clara  L.  colt  started  the  agony  ball  a-rolling. 

He  was  at  5  to  1  for  a  little.     Malo  Diablo  was  once  a  5  to  1 

'  shot,  but  was  at  2  at  the  post.     Then   came  the  cloud-burst 

that  swept   form-players  almost  off  the  face  of  the  earth. 

j  Floodmore  won  at  100  to  1,  aud  even  200  to  1  in  a  couple  of 

|  boxes.     It  is  enough  to  make  one's  mouth  water  to  think  of 

winning  $200  with  $1,  but  a  select  few  had  the  temerity  to 

1  trust  Dame  Fortune  that  far.     One,  whose  initials  are  C.  H. 

I  K.,  is  credited  with  cleaning  up  considerably  about  $10,000. 

A  few  had   bets  ranging   from  $1    to  $5  on  the  big  dark 

j  bay  gelding,  while  most  of  the  money  went  in  on  Castro  and 

j  Boston  Boy.     In  the  fourth  race  a  4  to  1  shot  (De   Bracey) 

.  wod,  while  in  the  last  event  old  Tim  Murphy  dashed  in  a 

winner,  with  odds  of  5  to  1  against  him. 

The  Clara  L.  colt  waited  for  theskyrockets,  Shamrock  and 

i  Little  Frank,  to  run  themselves  out  in  the  first  race,  which 

they  had  done  by  the  time  the  homestretch  was  reached,  and 

he  then  came  on  and  won  by  three  lengths  from   Cherokee, 

who  was  a  length  from  Monita. 

Malo  Diablo  got  away  fifth  in  the  two-year-cld  race,  and 
ran  around  his  field  in  the  homestretch  in  great  shape,  well 
ridden  by  Shaw.  Kai  Mot  outran  Lady  Jane  badly  down  the 
straight,  and  got  the  place  by  nearly  a  length. 

Then  cameFloodmore's  win.  He  got  away  first  and  ran 
second  to  Silver  at  the  half  and  Castio  at  the  three-quarters 
(where  the  latter  was  ruined  for  life  for  racing  purposes), 
then  came  away  from  Boston  Boy  about  a  sixteeeoth  from 
home  and  won  easilv  by  two  lengths,  Boston  Boy  second,  a 
ehort  neck  from  Herald,  who  ran  from  the  extreme  rear.  A 
tendon  of  one  of  Castro's  hind  legs  was  cut  throueh,  and 
he  will  never  race  again. 

De  Bracey  won  the  mile  handicap  in  a  romp  by  two 
lengths,  Zobair  beating  Red  Root  over  a  length  for  place. 

The  last  race  was  an  easy  thing  for  old  Tim  Murphy.  Bill 
Howard,  the  favorite,  did  not  finish  one-two -three.

Little  Frank  second,  lour  lengths  in  front  of  Toots.  Mid-

ran  into  the  lead  as  tbey  neared  the  homestretch,  into  which 
he  was  first  by  about  a  length,  Floodmore  second,  half  a 
length  from  Boston  Boy.  Boston  Boy  looked  a  winner  half- 
way down  the  straight,  but  about  a  sixteenth  from  home  the 
100  to  1  shot,  Floodmore,  made  a  great  rush,  and  ran  by 
Boston  Boy  as  if  he  were  tied  up,  winning  by  two  lengths. 
Boston  Boy,  whipped  out,  beat  Herald  (who  got  away  absol- 
utely last)  a  neck  for  the  place.  The  latter  ran  a  great  race.

less  than  two  lengths  behind  the  old  roangelding,  and  towards

the  lime  he  got  going  again  a  couple  more,  and  all  chances 
of  getting  any  part  of  the  money  went  glimmering.  Tim  Mur- 
phy then  had  things  all  his  own  way,  and  flew  in  a  handy 
winner  by  a  trifle  over  a  length,  Guard  running  from  the 
rear  aod  getting  the  place,  a  length  separating  him  from  Fly,

Association,  is  visiting  California. 

Direction,  by  Director,  owned  by  Jas.  H.  Oglesby.Kausas 
Citv,  Mo.,  will  be  handled  by  Doble. 


Six  horses  have  trotted  twenty  miles  within  one  hour,  and 
three  of  them  are  of  unknown  breeding. 


There  is  no  business  that  has  stood  the  late  financial  de-

Silicon,  2:151,  the  fast  filly  by  Wilton  in  Orrin  A.  Hic- 
kok's  string  at  Pleasanton,  has  been  fired  and  blistered.   ^__

produce  ought  to  be  very  fast. 

ROKRBY,  by  Director,  out  of  Lilly  Stanley,  2:17-1,  is,  with 
the  exception  of  Direct,  2:05$,  and  Flying  Jib,  2:04,  the  fast- 
est pacer  on  the  Pleasanton  track. 

It  is  slated  on  good  authority  that  little  Direct  will  not  be 
taken  East  to  race  this  year.  His  ankle  will  hardly  stand  the 
strain.     Every  oue  will  regret  to  hear  this.

Hun.  J.  H.  Man  LEY,  of  Maine,  says  :  "  It  is  a  lamentable 
fact  that  the  common  highways  of  the  United  States  are 
vastly  inferior  to  those  of  every  other  country  in  the  world." 

The  new  Year  Book  gives  Don  Lowell's  dam  as  un-

The  great  Palo  Alio  sale  takes  place  next  Thursday  at  the 
farm,  and  a  large  number  of  horsemen  have  signified  their 
intention  of  being  present  and  securing  some  of  the  choice 
ones  to  be  offered.  

Monroe  Salisbury  has  taken  the  Palo  Alto  colts  and 
fillies  that  he  is  to  take  East  to  Pleasanton,  where  they  are 
receiving  daily  exercise.  Mr.  Salisbury  intends  to  start  East 
about  the  middle  of  May. 

Ed.  Lafferty's  string  at  the  Oakland  race  track  consists 
of  seven  pacers.  He  would  be  a  king  pin  among  trainers  if

E.  C.  Archer,  of  Linden,  has  a  filly  (pacer)  by  Directum, 
2:05},  out  of  Belle  Clark,  by  Xephew  ;  second  dam  by  Gen. 
Dana  ;  third  dam  by  Lorenzo  Dow.  We  understand  the 
youngster  is  a  perfect  little  beauty.  Belle  Clark  has  been 
bred  to  Diablo,  2:09},  this  year. 

T.  A.  Stevens  has  quite  a  string  of  well-bred  and  promis- 
ing trotters  and  pacers  at  the.Woodland  track,  and  is  doing 
exceedingly  well  with  them.  He  has  three  by  Anteeo,  2:16', 
two  by  Alex.  Button,  a  colt  by  Ibex,  and  several  others  that 
will  be  seen  in  the  circuit  this  year. 

The  Pierce  Bros.,  of  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm,  have  sent 
five  choicely-bred  mares  to  Grayson  to  be  bred  to  Richard's 
Elector.  As  they  are  all  representatives  of  "The  Moor" 
family  he  has  made  a  wise  choice  in  seeking  this,  the  greatest 
producing  son  of  Electioneer  to  mate  them  with. 

The  charming  writer  Mrs.  Holden  (Amber)  of  the  Chicago 
Horseman,  has  been  spending  a  few  weeks  in  California  visit- 
ing various  points  of  interest.  She  has  been  at  Palo  Alto 
and  Kancho  del  Paso  and  will  send  descriptive  articles  of 
these  places  to  the  great  turf  journal  she  represents. 


The  popular  driving  club  at  Alameda,  which  holds  mati- 
nees every  Saturday  at  the  Melrose  track,  will  be  asked  by  the 
members  of  the  Saa  Jose  Driving  Club  to  join  them  in  giv- 
ing a  grand  afternoon's  entertainment  at  San  Jose,  May  30th. 
It  will  prove  of  lasting  benefit  to  both  of  these  thriving 
organizations. 

Is  it  not  gratifying  to  look  at  the  list  of  stallions  adver- 
tised in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman?  A  better  lot  of 
well-bred  horses  does  not  stand  in  any  section  of  similar  size 
in  the  United  States.  Owners  of  well-bred  mares  should 
have  no  excuse  for  not  getting  an  opportunity  of  breeding  to 
the  best  at  low  figures  this  year. 

BiCARA,  by  Director,  2:17,  out  of  Biscari,  the  famous 
broodmare  by  Harold,  dropped  a  fine  fillv  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15},  last  week.  She  belongs  to  the  Pierce  Bros.,  and  so 
well  pleased  were  they  with  the  appearance  of  the  little  one, 
that  they  forthwith  bred  the  mare  to  Guy  Wilkes  with  hop- 
ing they  will  have  "  two  of  a  kind." 


About  the  happiest  man  in  Woodland  is  smiling  R.  H- 
Newton,  for  his  great  pacer,  Tom  Ryder,  is  all  right,  and  is 
ready  to  go  to  the  races.  Besides  this  great  horse,  Mr.  Newton 
has  King  Orry  looking  and  trotting  better  than  ever.  He  will 
have  him  in  the  races,  "way  up  in  the  front,  too,  by  George  !" 

History  of  the  Walker  Horse,  by  Allen  W.  Thomp- 
son, of  Woodstock,  Vermont,  is  one  of  the  most  welcome 
little  books  that  has  come  to  our  notice.  In  it  the  well- 
known  authority  on  the  trotting  families  of  Vermont  has 
compiled  statistics  and  published  interesting  accounts  of  the 
Morrells,  the  Hamiltonians  and  Biggarts'  Rattler,  the  latter 
named  having  left  a  number  of  descendants,  some  of  which 
came  to  California.  All  who  are  intesested  in  horses  should 
send  for  copies  of  this  entertaining  and  instructive  work. 

The  record  of  American  Lady,  2:24,  by  American  Boy, 
was  rejected  by  the  Registrar  Association.  Also  the  record

rejected  to  one  pacer. 


If  the  only  living  colt  by  Native  Son,  2:29-],  son  of  Wald- 
stein  is  any  criterion  of  the  class  of  stock  he  will  beget  his 
future  as  a  sire  is  indeed  a  brillant  one.  This  youngster  is  a 
yearling  and  is  the  sensational  trotter  of  the  Woodland 
track.  He  belongs  to  H.  S.  Hogoboom.  His  only  rival  is 
Col.  Fryat's  Ibex  baby  and  a  prettier  pair  of  yearling  trotters 
no  man   ever  saw. 


T.  W.  Barstow,  proprietor  of  Southern  Nutwood  Stock 
Farm,  writes,  under  date  of  April  14th:  "My  mare  Belle 
Nutwood,  by  Nutwood,  lost  a  pair  of  twin  colts  by  Anteros 
Nutwood  a  few  days  ago;  one  was  bay  in  color,  the  other  a 
light  chestnut.  So  you  can  see  the  artificial  means  gets  two 
as  well  as  one."  We  infer  from  this  that  Mr.  Barstow  bred 
the  mare  artificially.     Heshould  try  again. 

Fantasy's  campaign  last  year,  while   a  surpassingly  brill- 
iant   one,  was  nota  hard  one.  Her  races  were  won  with  ease. 
She  started  eight  times;  and  scored  eight  wins,  without  being 
extended,  except  at  Nashville  on  October  17th,  when  in   the  ; 
last  heat  distance  was  waived  and  she  was  sent  the   mile  in  ! 
2:08:}  her  present  record.     And  this  wonderful  time,  for  a  j 
three-year-old,  was  made  with  such  seeming  ease  th^t  many 
horsemen  to-day  think  that  she  was  capable  of  doing  even  bet- 
ter that  day. 

John  Perkins,  of  Visalia,  will  handle  a  string  of  nine 
trotters  this  year  ;  most  of  them  are  by  Iris,  out  of  mares  by  , 
Rysdyk  Chief.     This  young  man  is  a  good  horseman  and  as  a  I 
son  of  H.  P.  Perkins  he  comes  by   his*love  for  good  horses  | 
quite  naturally.  He  drove  the  two-year-old  Visalia  in  the  list  \ 
last  year.     Although  the  Year  Book  forgets  to   mention  the 
fact,  Visalia  was  by  Iris  (son  of  Eros,  2:29|),  out  of  Scratch,  j 
by  Loppy, son  of  Sultan,  in  2:30;  this  year  her  mark  has  been 
placed  at  2:20,  and  she  will  reach  it. 

Mr.   Charles   Backman  and   Mr.  David  Bonner  spent 
from  Friday  until  Monday  at  Round  Top  Farm  with  Hon. 
Fred   P.  Olcott,  and  they  spoke  highly  of  the  yearlings  that 
they  saw  there  by  Athel  and  Palatka.    They  believe  that  the  j 
brother  of  Arion  will  make  a  big  reputation  in  the  stud.  Mr.  ! 
Olcott  and  his  two  guests,  by  the  way,  have  no  patience  with  ; 
anything  but  clean  turf  journalism.     They  want   to  see  (the 
literature  of  breeding  elevated  instead  of  degraded. — Turf,

Secretary  Hawley,  of  the  Buffalo  Driving  Park,  an- 
nounces an  addition  to  the  programme  for  the  Grand  Cir-  j 
cuit  meeting  to  be  held  at  Buffalo.     It  will  be  in  the  shape  I 
of  a  five  thousand  dollar   purse  for  pacers  in  the  2^09  class,  : 
the  race  to  be  placed  on  a  day  to  be  fixed  during  the  meet- 
ing, July  31st  to  August  10th.   The  purse  will  close  May  1st,  ; 
when  the  first  payment,  $50,  will  be  due,  and  horses  must  be 
named.    This  race,  it    is  hoped,  will    bring   together  such 
horses  as  Crawford,  *ii:09 ;    Blanche  Louise,  2:10;    Atlantic 
King,  2:09:1  ;  May  Marshall,  2;0S},  and  others. 

W.  H.  Russell  is  the  name  of  one  of  the  grandest-look-  j 
ing  two-year-old  stallions  we  have  had  the  pleasure  of  lookiog  , 
al  for  some  time.     The  nearest  npproach   to  him  is  Senator 
Fair's  colt  Nasser,  and,  by   the  way,  he  is  bred  like  W.  H.  ! 
Russell  on  the  paternal  side,  for  his  sire  is  Stamboul,  2:07A, 
also.  But  the  latter  colt's  dam  is  By  By,  by  Nutwood,  2:18:],  out 
ofRapidan  (dam  of  Captain  Mack,  2:29  and  Lockheart,  2:13)  ,

Expert  Prince,  2:131),  by   Stanhope's   Edwin    Forrest  851; 
third  dam  Madmn  Stanhope,  by  Mambrino  Chief  11.     W.  H. 
Russell  is  a  pure-gaited  trotter,  and  he  ought  to  be  a  wonder,  , 
for  his  breeding  is  "solid  gold  "  all  the  way  back. 

Fly,  2:291:  by   Electricity,  2:17$  and    Beatrice  Arden,  by  J 
Alber   W.,  2-20,  both  sold  at  the  recent  Kellogg  sale' as  in  :

the  farm,  both  on  the  same  day,  April  2,  Fly  producing  a  fine 
brown    (illy  and    Beatrix   Arden  a  handsome  bay  colt.    Mr.  '

Geo.  Woodard  has  his  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  at  his 
own  place  near  Yolo,  Yolo  County,  and  among  the  lot  Det 
Bigelow  believes  he  has  a  few  that  will  sustain  the  name  and 
fame  of  that  greatsire,  Alex.  Button.  "There  is  one  thing  to 
be  said  about  the  Buttons,  they  are  all  consistent  racehorses, 
and  if  a  man  wanted  to  be  sure  of  getting  a  2:30  trotter  he 
would  come  nearer  having  his  wish  gratified  by  sending  a 
well-bred  mare  to  this  horse  than  any  I  know  off, "  was  there- 
mark  a  prominent  horseman  made  at  this  office  the  other  day. 

Mr.  J.  O'Kane  is  at  present  visiting  the  land  of  ihe 
orange  and  olive.  Mr.  O'Kane's  health  is  rapidly  improv- 
ing, so  he  will  not  only  be  able  to  enjoy  the  festivals  of  the 
Angels  and  breathe  in  the  pure  oxygen  of  the  summer  air, 
but  will  also  take  a  look  at  MeKinney,  Silkwood  and  other 
southern  flyers.  If  any  sight  is  pleasing  to  this  genial  vete- 
ran turf  goods  purveyor  it  is  the  sight  of  the  neat  limbs  of  a 
trotter,  and  if  any  new  style  of  boot  is  required  he  is  at  any 
time  ready  to  furnish  it. 

The  New  Yrear  Book  gives  the  three-year-old  Dictator- 
Sidney  which  made  a  record  of  2:25  at  Stockton  last  fall,  as 
by  Sidney,  dam  untraced.  He  is  registered  in  Vol.  XIII. 
under  the  name  of  Sidnator,  and  his  breeding  on  the  dam's 
side  is  given  as  follows  :  First  dam  Ellen  Tomlinson,  by  Dic- 
tator; second  dam  by  Mambrino  Patchen;  third  dam  by 
Montague's  Sovereign  ;  fourth  dam  by  Mark  Time,  and  fifth 
dam  by  Hunt's  Commodore.  That  is  correct,  and  is  as  rich 
breeding  as  there  is  in  the  world,  and  it  don't  look  much  like 
being  "untraced." 

J.  L.  McCord,  the  well-known  trainer,  who  was  stricken 
with  paralysis  at  his  home  in  Sacramento,  is  confined  to  his 
bed,  and  will  not  be  able  to  be  around  for  some  time.  From 
a  letter  received,  we  learn  that  he  is  as  comfortable  as  could 
be  expected  under  the  circumstances,  although  he  worries 
very  much  over  his  disappointment  in  not  being  able  to 
drive  the  two  promising  colts  he  was  training,  Consumnes 
Boy  (trotter)  and  Fanchon,  a  pacer.  Everyone  who  has 
seen  them  move  declares  that  they  are  the  fastest  youngsters 
at  the  Sacramento  track  for  the  work  given  them.  They 
must  be  of  the  Mary  Lou  and  Shylock  order. 

On  Tuesday  night  last,  J.  H.  White,  of  Lakeville,  Sonoma 
county,  met  with  a  very  unfortunate  loss  in  his  great  brood- 
mare, Kitty  Almont,  who  died  on  the  Cotati  ranch  of  a  liver 
affection.  The  noble  mare  had  a  record  of  2:22^,  and  was  the 
dam  of  the  fast  colt  Calaveras,  by  Eclectic.  Mr.  White 
thought  a  great  deal  of  Kitty  Almont.  She  was  by  Tilton 
Almont,  2:26,  out  of  Grade,  by  Werner's  Hamlet,  second 
dam  by  Jim  Brown,  son  of  Winnebago.  In  all  of  her  races 
Orrin  Hickok,  the  famous  driver,  says,  he  never  knew  her  to 
show  any  desire  to  quit ;  she  was  game  *o  the  coie,  and  as 
intelligent  as  any  animal  he  ever  pulled  a  line  over.  Mr. 
White  sent  her  over  to  be  bred  to  Eclectic,  and  in  her  death 
he  has  the  sympathy  of  all  genuine  horsemen. 

A  few*  years  ago  Messrs.  Myers  &  Myers,  of  Pleasanton, 
bought  a  very  handsome  mare  to  California;  she  was  called 
Lady  Stevens  and  was  a  full  sister  to  that  famous  broodmare 
Minnehaha.  These  gentlemen  bred  her  to  Stamboul  and  sold 
her  at  auction,  believing  her  to  be  with  foal,  and  F.  J.  Burke, 
of  the  La  Siesta  Stock  Farm,  purchased  her.  Time  proved, 
however,  that  she  was  not  in  foal,  and  as  she  had  been  barren 
for  years,  and  as  her  date  of  foaling  was  1873,  many 
wiseacres  predicted  that  she  never  would  have  a  foal,  but 
Mr.  Burke  is  not  easily  turned  aside  from  his  plans,  and  as 
he  had  marvelous  success  in  getting  the  dams  of  Albert  \V\, 
Balkan,  and  the  old  pacing  mare  Lucy  with  foal,  he  believed 
it  would  pay  him  to  carry  his  experiments  a  little  further  and 
last  Friday  Lady  Stevens  surprised  some  visiting  horsemen  by 
having  a  beautiful  bay  filly.  It  is  as  pretty  as  a  picture  and 
ought  to  be  very  valuable.  Eros,  the  sire,  needs  no  further 
proof  of  the  claims  made  for  him  as  a  sure  foal  getter  than 
this,  but  with  such  an  <»wner  there  can  be  no  such  word  as 
fail.     We  congratulate  him  on  his  success. 

John  McIntyre,  one  of  our  old-time  trainers  and  drivers, 
died  in  San  Jose  two  weeks  ago  from  injuries  received  in 
breaking  a  fractious  colt.  Mr.  Mclnryre  was  born  in  Canada 
sixty-six  years  ago,  and  in  1850-54  he  was  known  all 
over  the  Eastern  States  by  the  title,  "  Runyon  Pat,  the  cham- 
pion horse  clipper.  In  those  days,  clipping  horses  was  done 
entirely  with  the  scissors.  He  was  a  natural  horseman  and 
drove  in  the  first  race  ever  given  at  the  Point  Breeze  track, 
in  Philadelphia.  The  horse  he  held  the  ribbons  over  was 
called  Perfection.  Delaney  was  up  behind  a  gelding,  Mos- 
cow, and  T.  W.  Fitzgerald  drove  John  Goody's  Moscow,  a 
horse  from  Montreal,  Canada.  Mr.  McIntyre  took  charge 
of  American  Star,  for  E.  K.  Conklin,  at  Belle  Tavern,  Phila- 
delphia, for  years.  He  was  well  known  on  the  Eastern  turf  as 
a  conditioner  and  driver,  aud  came  to  California  about 
twenty-five  years  ago.  He  had  charge  of  Occident,  and  were 
it  not  "for  his  love  of  liquor  would  have  been  in  the  employ  of 
Senator  Stanford  ever  since.  He  worked  for  various  trainers, 
and  last  year  was  with  Wm.  Donathan  and  had  charge  of  a 
number  of  horses  under  him.  "Mac,"  as  he  was  called,  had 
few  equals  in  the  pra  Cession  as  a  caretaker  of  horses.  He  wi 
quiet,  respectful  and  industrious  at  all  times,  and  his  memor; 
of  men  he  had  known  and  horse  races  he  had  seen  was  re- 
markable.    His  death  will  be  a  surprise  to  all  who  knew  him.

Tho    Association    Will   Be   a   Success. 


Have  You  Noticed  the  Size  of  the  Purses? 


A  few  people  bave  gone  out  of  their  way  to  take  a  slap  at  the  Occi- 
dental Trotting  anrl  Pacing  Association  that  has  been  formed  by  the 
tracks  on  the;Pacitic  Coast.  An  Eastern  croaker,  who  has  always  been 
noted  for  opposing  innovations,  has  gone  on  record  that  it  will  be  a 
failure.  It  is  also  well  known  that  the  same  party  said  that  the  Ameri- 
can Trotttug  Association  would  be  a  restiug  place  for  thieves,  and  a 
fit  subject  for  early  bankruptcy  when  it  was  organized  in  1S87.  The 
prediction  failed  to  connect,  as  that  association  is  now  as  strong  and 
vigorous  as  the  National.  There  is  a  field  for  the  Occidental  Associa- 
tion, just  as  there  was  a  field  for  the  Canadian  Trotting  Association 
when  it  was  formed.  The  latter,  however,  was  very  badly  managed 
and  dropped  out  atter  one  season.  Had  proper  officials  been  elected 
by  ihz  Canadian  Association  and  the  business  conducted  as  it  should 
havebeeu.it  would  to-day  be  on  a  paying  basis.  While  it  is  just 
possible  that  the  National  and  American  Associations  will  not  recog- 
nize suspensions  of  the  Occidental  Association,  parties  that  owe  the 
California  people  money  will  ship  East  to  avoid  payment.  There  is 
one  satisfaction  in  the  matter,  however,  and  that  is  thev  will  not 
come  East  unless  they  .have  first-class  material,  and  very  little  ma- 
terial is  raced  in  California  when  iuteuded  for  the  Eastern  market, 
as  trainers  know  that  a  record  is  something  that  must  be  avoided 
with  a  ,ir3t-class  turf  horse  until  he  has  a  fair  stock  of  stake  engage- 
ment? A  couple  of  years  ago,  when  records  and  pedigrees  were 
selling  ou  paper,  it  was  always  advisable  to  rip  them  wide  open  and 
send  them  to  the  limit.  Now  the  average  man  wants  a  horse  that 
can  trot  in  2:10  minus  the  mark. 

That  the  associations  on  the  Pacific  Coast  did  not  form  an  organi- 
zation similar  to  the  one  that  bears  the  name  of  the  Occidental  sev- 
eral years  ago  is  a  matter  of  surprise.  They  are  practically  cut  off 
from  participating  in  any  of  the  benefits  accruing  from  membership 
in  either  ihe  National  or  American  Trottine  Association.  It  was  a 
rare  thing  for  an  Eastern  horse  to  be  found  on  one  of  their  tracks. 
from  the  fact  that  all  o£  the  big  money  for  harness  performers  has 
been  offered  by  associations  east  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  In  Cali- 
fornia, as  a  man  said  a  short  time  ago,  most  of  the  people  race  horse 
fortheir  health,  as  purses  of  Sl.000  or  over  are  very  rare.  Greater  in. 
terest,  however,  is  being  taken  there  of  late  years,  and  while  a  num 
ber  of  traiuers  ship  East  each  season,  sufficient  inducements  are 
being  offered  to  keep  many  a  good  horse  at  home.— American  Sports- 
man. April  12. 


The  entry  list  of  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association,  as 
will  be  noticed  in  another  column,  contains  a  very  full 
complement  of  names,  but  there  were  some  events  which 
lacked  a  few  of  having  the  requisite  number  of  entries, 
so  the  Board  of  Directors  decided  at  their  last  meeting 
to  re-open  the  purses  and  give  all  who  have  not  sent  in 
the  Denies  of  their  colts  and  horses  an  opportunity  to  do 
so.  The  purses  are  of  the  same  amounts  as  those  hereto- 
fore advertised,  but  the  conditions  are  that  the  entrance 
fee  shall  be  five  per  cent  of  the  purse.  Entries  will  close 
June  1st. 


To  the  delight  of  all  who  drive  through  our  beautiful 
Bolden  Gate  Part,  it  is  noticed  that  the  famous  speed 
track  has,  according  to  the  suggestion  of  the  Bbeeder 
and  Sportsman,  been  covered  with  a  heavy  coating  of 
clay.  If  the  Park  Commissioners  will  place  one  man 
with  a  good  team,  to  harrow,  scrape  and  water  it  daily 
from  this  time  on,  it  will  prove  to  be  one  of  the  most  at- 
tractive places  in  the  park  for  owners  of  fine  horses, 
their  friends  and  the  public  in  general. 


By  a  recent  change  in  the  By-Laws  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H. 
B.  Association,  horsemen  outside  of  California  can  enter 
their  horses  without  becoming  members.  It  is  believed 
that  there  will  be  liberal  entries  to  the  summer  meeting 
from  Oregon  and  other  parts  of  the  Pacific  Coast.  See 
advertisement  in  this  number. 


Programmes  for  the  great  Midwinter  Fair  Tourna- 
ment can  be  had  at  this  office.  The  shooting  of  blue 
Kicks  at  the  Fairgrounds  will  take  place  next  Saturday 
and  Sunday,  and  from  the  interest  evinced  already  it 
promises  to  be  the  most  attractive  and  be3t  attended  en- 
tertainments given  at  the  great  Fair. 


Orrin  A.  Hickok  has  leased  Directum,  the  king  of 
stallions,  for  this  year.  He  will  take  him  East.  John 
Green,  the  owner  of  the  horse,  completed  arrangements 
with  the  great  driver  on  Monday  last.  Directum  never 
looked  stronger  than  he  does  to-day. 


Remember  the  great  sale  of  Palo  Alto  stock  takes 
place  next  Thursday.  No  true  lover  of  a  well-bred 
roadster  or  a  campaigner  can  afford  io  miss  this  sale. 
Catalogues  can  be  had  at  this  office.  See  advertisements 
and  notice  in  this  issue. 


We  have  ascertained  from  excellent  authority  that  the 
race  meeting  at  the  Bay  District  track  will  continue  un-

Don't  fail   to    read  the  advertisement  of  the  P.  C.  T.  II.  B 
'ion's  Summer   Meeting  in  thus  issue.     His  of  interest  to 
tasry  ftorseman  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

The  eleven-year-old  stallion  St.  Jerome,  sire  of  Wilkes, 
2:17,  and  Jerome  Taylor,  2:21$,  died  at  Pontiac,  Mich.,  last 
*eek.  He  was  by  Hambletonisn  Wilkes,  dam  by  Master- 
ode. 


The  benefits  accruing  to  the  owuers  and  trainers  of 
light-harness  horses  on  the  Pacific  Coast  can  be  a'tribut- 
ed  more  directly  to  the  enterprise  of  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association  than  to  any  other 
organization  on  the  coast.  Foremost  in  everything,  and 
laboring  hard  to  encourage  the  great  industry,  this  year 
the  officers  and  directors  have  surpassed  their  former  ef- 
lorts,  and  as  the  opening  of  the  great  California  circuit 
begins  with  the  summer  meeting  of  this  organization, 
they  have  arranged  a  splendid  programme  and  it 
is  of  vital  importance  to  every  horseman,  owner 
and  trainer  to  see  that  they  have  entries  in  the 
events  as  advertised  therein. 

The  liberality  of  the  Association  in  offering  such 
splendid  purses  (none  of  them  less  than  $1,000),  is  most 
commendable,  and  no  true  horseman  who  takes  any  in- 
terest in  trotting  and  pacing  horses  should  neglect  this 
opportunity  of  making  entries.  As  these  important  fac- 
tors in  racing  meetings  will  close  one  week  from  next 
Tuesday  (May  1st)  there  is  no  time  to  be  lost.  It 
is  not  necessary  to  send  mopey  with  the 
entries,  this  liberal  proviso  is  understood  and  apprecia- 
ted by  all.  If  the  one  that  is  nominated  should 
"  go  wrong"  the  person  making  the  entry  is  only  liable 
for  the  amount  when  declaration  is  made  after  the 
condition  of  the  youngster  is  known  to  him.  For  exam- 
ple :  ''A  names  a  colt  on  May  1st  and  if  the  colt  is  taken 
sick  before  June  1st,  the  owner  notifies  the  secretary  to 
declare  the  colt  out,  then  he,  the  owner,  is  liable  for  only 
two  per  cent  of  purses  of  $1,000,  so  all  he  has  to  pay  is 
$20  with  his  notification.  If,  however,  he  does  not 
declare  the  colt  out  until  the  day  after  the  first  of  June 
but  allows  the  entry  to  stand,  he  is  liable  for  $30,  etc, 
This  is  a  most  liberal,  fair  and  just  rule  and  has  met 
with  the  endorsement  of  every  horseman  who  has  given 
any  attention  to  it.  The  purses  are  large,  as  stated 
above,  and  are  divided  into  four  moneys,  50,  25,  15  and 
10  per  cent;  the  races,  except  for  the  yearlings  and  two- 
year-olds  are  to  be  three  in  five,  and  every  opportunity 
will  be  afforded  horsemen  to  have  their  horses  do  their 
very  best. 

The  success  of  the  meeting  depends  entirely  upon  the 
horse  owners  and  trainers,  and  it  is  to  their  lasting  bene- 
fit to  make  as  many  entries  as  possible.  Everything  will 
be  done  by  the  Board  of  Directors  to  make  this  summer 
meeting  a  glorious  one  in  all  particulars,  then  let  there 
be  no  hesitancy  on  the  part  of  horse-owners  in  assisting 
in  every  way  they  can  to  make  the  meeting  a  success, 
for.  the  fate  of  the  trotting-horse  industry  rests  with 
them  and  they  must  not  blame  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders  Association  for  any  neglect  they  may  be 
guilty  of.  It  is  urgently  requested  that  every  one 
who  has  a  colt  or  filly,  a  green  trotter  or  pacer,  or  a  2:30 
performer,  send  in  entries  before  it  is  too  late.  Read 
the  programme  and  conditions  governing  the  races.  Many 
horsemen  regretted  their  carelessness  in  not  making  en- 
tries in  the  fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.,  surely 
they  can  have  no  such  excuse  for  neglecting  this  im- 
portant opportunity  now.  Remember  there  is  only  one 
week  longer  to  decide,  for  entries  will  close  on  the  first 
of    May.     Now  is  the   accepted  time.

consummation.

Petaluma  Driving  Club. 


Stambool  Bell,  a  three-year-old  filly,  by  Stamboul, 
1:07',  is  the  name  of  a  new  arrival  at  the  Pleasanton  Stock 
?arm.     She  is  a  very  promising  filly. 


The  formation  of  a  driving  club  in  this  city,  an  account  of 
which  wis  published  in  a  recent  issue  instead  of  being  al- 
lowed to  die,  as  some  persons  have  insinuated,  is  now  an  as- 
sured fact,  and  those  who  were  the  promoters  of  the  scheme 
are  fully  confident  that  within  a  week  the  organization  will 
be  well  under  way,  and  lhat  inside  of  a  month  the  initial  driv- 
ing contest,  which,  it  is  understood,  will  be  the  feature  of 
the  club,  will  he  held.  Agricultural  Park,  the  beautiful  race 
course  of  the  Sonoma  and  Marin  Agricultural  Society,  will 
become  even  more  popular  than  it  is  at  present,  which  is  say- 
ing a  great  deal,  for  the  park  never  was  in  better  condition, 
never  appeared  to  better  advantage  and  was  never  better  man- 
aged than  by  the  present  lessee,  W.  E.  Bowen. 

In  conversation  today  with  the  latter  in  regard  to  ihe  pro- 
posed new  driving  club,  Mr.  Bowen  said  :  "  The  club  is  an 
assured  fact.  All  the  gentlemen  whose  names  were  previously 
mentioned  will  become  members  and  many  more  bave  signi- 
fied their  intention  of  taking  an  active  interest  so  that  many 
of  our  best  citizens,  men  who  like  good  horse  flesh  and  who 
usually  drive  good  roadsters,  will  not  only  continue  to  do  so, 
but  will  improve  their  stock. 

"Each  will  endeavor  to  outdo  the  other,  and  will,  of 
course,  secure  better  animals,  while  they,  as  a  matter  of  pride, 
will  keep  their  equipages  in  better  order  and  our  city,  which 
has  already  acquired  an  enviable  reputation  for  its  large 
number  of  fine  private  turnouts  and  speedy  roadsters,  will 
even  become  more  renowned,  and  the  new  club  will  be  a 
splendid  attraclion  for  our  people,  who  during  the  summer 
months  often  wish  for  some  way  in  which  to  while  awav  an 
afternoon. 

"Of  course  everybody  will  be  invited  to  the  contests  held 
by  the  club  and  there  will  positively  be  no  admission  charged 
except  on  rare  occasions  when  the  proceeds  will  be  devoted 
to  charity. 

"Dr.  Thos.  Maclay  who  has  promised  to  draw  up  the  charter 
for  the  new  organization  has  been  overwhelmed  with  a  rush 
of  business  and  has  been  so  far  unable  to  find  time  to  draw  up 
the  necessary  documents,  but  he  will,  no  doubt,  be  in  the 
position  to  fulfill  his  promise  within  a  day  or  two,  and  the 
organization  of  the  proposed  club  will  be  proceeded  with,  and 
its  affaire  placed  in  good  working  order." 

The  objects  of  the  club,  and  the  plans  of  the  promoters 
have  already  been  published  and  need  not  be  again  recounted 
as  all  are  familiar  with  their  details  and  all   are  very  much 


It  is  the  opinion  of  Hon.  William.  Russell  Allen  tbat  not 
over  ten  per  cent  of  the  mares  bred  to  public  stallions  in 
past  years  will  be  bred  the  present  season.  If  Mr.  Allen  is 
correct  in  his  estimate,  there  can  be  but  one  logical  conclu- 
sion, and  that  is  that  the  demand  for  well-bred  youngsters 
will  be  in  excess  of  the  supply  within  a  very  short  time,  says 
Lhe  Western  Horseman.  We  have  from  time  to  time  called 
the  attention  of  breeders  who  are  discussing  the  advisability 
of  breeding  their  mares  to  the  fact  tiiat  the  inevitable  result 
of  the  numerous  failures  to  breed  well-bred  and  desirable 
matrons  can  only  tend  to  diminish  the  supply,  and  con- 
sequently increase  the  price  of  young  stock.  The  breader 
who  stands  manfully  by  the  "helm"  and  weathers  the 
storm  of  low  prices,  and  continues  mating  his  matrons 
with  a  keen  judgment,  will  be  the  one  who  will  carry 
away  the  glittering  coin  in  the  end.  The  trotter  and 
pacer  has  as  many  true  friends  and  admirers  as  they  ever 
had;  their  opportunities  to  earn  money  are  bfing  in- 
creased each  year,  and  why  any  one  should  be  pessimistic 
enough  to  declare  that  their  day  has  passed  and  their  star  has 
set.  is  one  of  the  things  that  arouses  warm  indignation  in  the 
breasts  of  the  sober  thinking  breeder.  That  we  have  passed 
through  a  season  of  low  prices  is  true.  At  the  same  time  it 
may  be  *aid  that  the  industry  that  has  not  sufiered  propor- 
tionately from  the  same  causes,  the  financial  depression,  is 
yet  to  be  named.  Prosperous  times  in  other  lines  of  trade 
and  industry  is  sure  to  bring  prosperous  times  to  the  breeder 
of  the  noblest  of  all  animals — the  American  trotter. 

In  conclusion. we  will  say  that  with  the  enormous  decrease 
in  the  number  of  mares  bred  the  past  year,  and  the  still 
greater  decrease  lhat  indications  point  to  that  will  occur  the 
present  season,  with  the  public  popularity  of  the  trotter  and 
pacer  daily  being  increased,  no  breeder  should  consider 
whether  it  will  prove  profitable  to  breed  his  mare  should  she 
be  one  of  real  merit.  While  the  '"  other  fellow  "  is  asleep 
from  the  effects  of  too  much  pessimistic  "  wash,"  the  wise 
breeder  will  breed  his  mares,  and  in  due  time  gather  in  the 

ducats.

Advice  to  Horsemen. 


Every  horse  that  is  intended  for  turf  purposes  should  be 
thoroughly  broken  to  harness.  They  should  know  all  of  Ihe 
words  of  command  and  be  educated  to  obey  them  at  any  lime, 
whether  in  a  race  or  on  the  road.  Dozens  of  trainers  believe 
that  a  horse's  knowledge  should  be  boiled  down  to  speed. 
They  throw  the  harness  on  them  and  start  out.  If  the  nag 
goes  straight  and  does  not  show  a  disposition  to  jump  into  the 
infield  he  is  considered  broken  and  put  in  active  training. 
From  that  lime  on  the  bulk  of  the  horse's  road  education  is 
in  the  hands  of  the  man  who  takes  care  of  him.  Should  he 
be  clever  the  horse  is  apt  to  turn  out  well,  if  not  he  has  to  be 
broken  over  after  he  is  retired  from  the  turf,  should  any  one 
care  to  use  him  on  the  road.  Hickok  is  a  noted  exception  in 
this  particular.  AM  of  his  horses  are  broken  thoroughly, 
and  Starr  is  now  following  in  his  footsteps.  Last  year  he  took 
Myrtle  K..  for  example,  and  made  a  model  mare  of  ber. 
When  on  the  turf  in  1892  she  was  driven  with  a  Crit  Davis 
bit  and  a  bundle  of  boots.  When  he  started  her  last  year  she 
was  driven  wllh  a  plain  bar  bit,  side  check  and  no  boots,  all 
of  which  goes  to  show  what  a  little  care  and  skill  in  lhat  di- 
rection does.  In  1892  very  few  would  want  Myrtle  H.  for  a 
road  mare.  At  the  close  of  1893  she  was  simply  perfection, 
never  pulling  a  pound,  and  willing  to  go  at  any  gait  lhat  her 
driver  asked  for.  At  Parkville  Farm  there  is  a  breaking  de- 
partment and  before  a  colt  or  horse  is  hooked  there  he  has  to 
put  in  a  few  weeks  at  the  primary.  He  is  laught  lo  ^alk, 
stop,  bact  and  turn  at  the  word  of  command,  and  is  taught 
it  thoroughly.  He  is  then  hitched  and  put  through  the  same 
line  of  treatment  to  harness.  After  that  he  is  sent  to  the  train- 
ing barn  for  development. — American  Sportsman.

The  Sportsmen's    Convention. 

We  gave  last  week  the  proceedings  of  the  convention  in 
detail  up  to  and  including  ihe  argument  on  Section  1,  of  the 
report  of  the  committee  on  framing  new  laws.  Section  1,  as 
approved,  reads  as  follows: 

Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California,  between  the 
loth  day  of  February  and  the  15th  day  of  October  in  each 
years,  shall  hunt,  pursue,  take,  kill,  or  destroy,  or  have  in  his 
possession,  dead  or  alive,  whether  taken  or  killed  in  the  State 
of  California  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any  other  State, 
Territory  or  foreign  country,  except  for  purposes  of  propaga- 
tion, any  valley  quail,  bob-white,  partridge,  wild  duck,  rail 
or  robin,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Sec  2.  Every  person  who,  in  the  Slate  of  California,  be- 
tween the  loth  day  of  February  and  the  1st  day  of  August 
in  each  year,  shall  hunt,  pursue,  take,  kill  or  destroy,  or 
have  in  his  possession,  dead  or  alive,  whether  taken  or  killed 
in  the  State  of  California,  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any 
other  State.  Territory  or  foreign  country,  except  for  purposes 
of  propagation,  any  mountain  quail  or  grouse  shall  be  guilty 
of  a  misdemeanor. 

The  original  report  read  "between  the  1st  dav  of  August 
and  the  1st  day  of  November."  On  motion  of  David  Shoe- 
maker, of  Nevada  County,  it  was  amended  to  read  as  above. 

Sec.  3.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California,  shall 
take,  gather  or  destroy  the  eggs  of  any  quail,  bob- white,  par- 
tridge, pheasant,  grouse,  dove,  or  robin,  or  any  kind  of  wild 
duck,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Adopted  as  above. 

Sec.  4.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California,  be- 
tween the  loth  day  of  February  and  the  1st  day  of  July  in 
each  year,  shall  hunt,  pursue,  take,  kill  or  destroy,  or  have  in 
his  possession,  doves,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Mr.  Stack  moved  that  the  killing  of  doves  be  prohibited 
entirely-  Pa/ne  amended  it  to  read  "between  the  loth  day 
of  February  and  1st  of  August."  Mr.  Hayes,  lo  July  1st  and 
February  loth.     The  latter  amendment  was  carried. 

Sec.  5.  Even  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California,  shall 
huot,  pursue,  take,  kill  or  destroy  any  male  deer,  elk,  ante- 
lope, mountain  sheep  or  buck,  between  the  15th  day  of  Octo- 
ber and  the  15th  day  of  July  of  the  following  year  shall  be 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

As  this  section  was  sure  to  cause  a  great  deal  of  argument 
it  was  laid  on  the  table  and  taken  up  again  on  Thursday  after 
the  other  sections  had  been  passed  upon.  Dr.  H.  D.  Robert- 
son amended  the  report  that  the  close  season  be  from  Sep- 
tember loth  to  July  loth.  Jndge  Post  thought  that  with  the 
Hale  of  hides  and  meat  prohibited  an  open  season  of  six 
months  would  not  exterminate  the  deer,  and  suggested  that 
the  close  season  be  from  November  25th  to  July  15lh.  H. 
M.  MacNeil  thought  three  months  open  season  longjenough. 
Dr.  C.  W.  Hibbard  amended  Dr.  Hibbard's  amendment  to 
read  as  follows  • 

ricsotved  :  That  the  statute  in  reference  lo  deer  shall  be  amended 
so  as  to  read  as  follows:  That  it  shall  be  unlawful  to  buut.  pursue, 
take,  kill  or  destroy  any  male  deer,  elk.  antelope,  moiniuitii  sheep  or 
bock  except  tors  period ol  sixty  consecutive  days  between  the  Isl 
dav  of  Julv  and  the  1st  day  of  November  of  each  year,  said  period  of

in  the  year,  the  period  ol  sixty  days  daring  which  it  snail  < 
to  hunt,  punne.  take,  kill  or  destroy  any  male  deer,  elk,  antelope.

vinorsfhiill  be  deemed  guilty  "fn  mivlfim-anor. 

Senator  Ford  moved  an  amendment  to  Hubbard's  amend- 
ment, that  the  period  be  extended  to  January  1st.  I'm  lo 
vole  and  lost. 

Dr.  I.  \V.  Hayes,  of  <  trass;  Valley,  confessed  that  the  deer 
in  his  county  were  best  in  August  and  September,  but  he 
wanted  the  season  open  in  November  and  I>ecember. 

<  i.  W.  I  ietehell,  r,f  S:m  \ii<lr.:is,  said  there  were  no  sports- 
men in  his  county  but  that  the  young  men  of  that  section 
wanted  to  shoot  deer  in  November  and  December. 

Harry  Babcock,  and  ueveral  others  who  have  hunted  over 
the  entire  State,  staled  that  deer  were  running  in  November 
and  I  '-ccmber  and  not  fit  to  eat,  and  that  no  sportsmen  would 
shoot  them  at  that  time. 

Dr.  I.  W.  Hayes  finally  consented  lo  cut  ofl" one  month,  hut 
his  amendment  making  the  limit  from  July  1st  to  December 
1st  was  lost 

The  amen  Iment  of  Hibbard  was  then  voted  upon  and  lost 
by  a  vote  of  •■>  to  12.  Dr.  Robinson's  original  amendment 
was  then  taken  tin  and  amended  to  July  lo  to  September  15 
(open  season)  anu  carried. 


Sec.  6.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California, shall 
at  any  time  hunt,  pursue,  kill,  take  or  destroy  any  female 
deer,  antelope,  elk,  mountain  sheep,  or  doe,  shall  be  guilty  of 
a  misdemeanor. 

Sec.  7.  Every  person  who  shall  at  any  time  hunt,  pursue, 
take,  kill,  or  destroy  any  spotted  fawn,  shall  be  guilty  of  a 
misdemeanor. 

Sec.  8.  Every  person  who.  in  the  State  of  California, shall 
at  any  time  sell,  or  offer  for  sale,  the  hide  or  meat  of  any 
deer,  elk, antelope  or  mountain  sheep,  whether  taken  or  killed 
in  the  Stale  of  California,  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any 
other  State,  Territory  or  foreign  country,  shall  be  guilty  of  a 
misdemeanor. 

Sections  6-7  were  carried  without  argument.  Section  8  was 
discussed  briefly.  It  was  thought  by  some  that  the  tanners 
would  fight  the  bill 

W.  E.  Gerber,  of  Sacramento,  brought  for  the  inspection 
of  the  convention  a  number  of  samples  of  "  buckskin  "  made 
from  cow's  hide  by  a  new  process  that  no  one  short  of  an  ex- 
pert could  tell  from  the  finest  buckskin  and  argued  that  the 
bill  would  not  be  opposed  by  the  tanners  at  all. 

Sec.  9.  Every  person  who,  in  the  Slate  of  California,shall, 
within  the  three  years  next  after  the  passage  of  this  Act, 
hunt,  pursue,  take,  kill  or  destroy,  or  have  in  his  possession, 
except  for  purposes  of  propagation,  any  pheasant,  shall  be 
guilty  ofa  misdemeanor. 

This  section  as  reported  by  the  committee  protected  pheas- 
ants for  two  years,  but  was  amended  to  read  as  above. 

Sec.  10.  Every  person  who  shall  at  any  time  net  or  pound 
anyquail,  partridge,  or  grouse,  and  every  person  who  shall 
sell,  transport,  or  give  away,  or  offer  or  expose  for  sale,  or 
have  in  his  possession,  except  for  purposes  of  propagation, 
permission  having  first  been  obtained  from  the  game  war- 
den, any  quail,  partridge,  or  grouse  that  have  been  snared, 
captured  or  taken  in  by  any  means  of  any  net  or  pound, 
whethertaken  in  the  Slate  of  California,  or  shipped  into  the 
State  from  any  other  Slate,  Territory,  or  foreign  country,  is 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Proof  of  possession  of  any  quail,  partridge,  or  grouse, 
whi^h  shall  not  show  evidence  of  having  been  taken  by 
means  other  than  a  net  or  pound,  shall  be  "  prima  facie" 
evidence  in  any  prosecution  for  violation  of  the  provisions  of 
this  section,  that  the  person  in  whose  possession  such  quail, 
partridge,  or  grouse  is  found,  took,  killed,  or  destroyed  the 
same  by  means  ofa  net  or  pound. 

Sec.  10,  as  above,  is  as  originally  suggested  by  the  com- 
mittee, exeppt  the  addition  of  "except  for  purposes  of  propaga- 
tion, permission  having  first  been  obtained  from  the  game 
warden  or  Fish  Commission."  As  the  man  who  usurped  the 
position  of  secretary  prints  it  as  above,  we  suppose  it  will 
read  as  above  when  placed  before  the  Legislature. 

Sec.  11.  Every  cold-storage  company,  person  keeping  a 
cold-storage  warehouse,  tavern  or  hotel  keeper,  restaurant  or 
eating-house  keeper,  marketman,  or  other  person  who  shall 
sell,  expose,  or  offer  for  sale,  or  give  away,  or  have  in  his 
possession  in  this  State,  any  quail,  bobwhite,  partridge,  pheas- 
ant, grouse,  dove,  or  wild  duck,  during  the  time  it  shall  be 
unlawful  to  kill  such  bird,  whether  taken  or  killed  in  the 
State  of  California,  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any  other 
State,  Territory,  or  foreign  country,  shall  be  guilty  of  misde- 
meanor. 

Sec.  12.  Every  cold-storage  company,  person  keeping  a 
cold-storage  warehouse,  tavern  or  hotel  keeper,  restaurant  or 
eating-house  keeper,  marketman,  or  other  person  who  shall 
buy,  sell,  expose,  or  offer  for  sale,  in  this  State,  anyquail, 
bobwhite,  partridge,  pheasant,  grouse,  dove,  Wilson  or  Jack 
snipe,  barnacle  brant,  or  wild  duck,  whether  taken  or  killed 
in  the  State  of  California,  or  shipped  into  the  State  from  any 
other  State,  Territory,  or  foreign  country,  except  between 
the  loth  day  of  November  and  the  lolh  day  of  the  next 
January,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Senator  Ford,  Judge  Post,  J.K.Orrandothersspokein  favor 
of  Section  12 — McNeil  against  it,  on  the  ground  that  market- 
men  will  kill  and  put  the  game  in  cold  storage  until  the  season 
for  selling  arrives  and  then  glut  the  market.  Judge  Post 
thought  that  it  would  be  against  their  interest  to  do  so.  G.  H. 
T.  Jackson  moved  an  amendment  that  the  sale  be  restricted  to 
one  month,  but  it  did  not  receive  a  second.  Judge  Spencer 
thought  that  the  sale  should  not  be  limited  to  less  time  than 
the  killing,  arguing  that  when  his  neighbor  could  go  out  and 
kill  game  for  his  own  table,  he  thought  he  should  have  the 
privilege  to  buy. 

The  next  section  of  the  report  of  the  committee  prohibited 
the  shooting  of  ducks  between  sunset  and  sunrise.  It  would 
unquestionably  have  been  carried  by  the  convention,  but  for 
the  request  of  the  chair.  While  we  admit  that  the  intention 
of  the  chair  was  good  we  think  that  he  was  mistaken  in  his 
idea  that  the  Section  would  meet  with  great  opposition. 
The  market  hunters  themselves  would  appreciate  such  3  law 
and  in  many  localities  where  many  market  hunters  are  con- 
gregated they  will  not  permit  it,  knowing  full  well  that  to 
permit  it  would   drive  them  out  of  business. 

Sec.  13.  Every  person  who  shall  use  a  shotgun  of  a  larger 
calibre  than  that  commonly  known  and  designated  as  a  num- 
ber ten  guage,  for  the  purpose  of  killing  or  destroying  any 
wild  duck,  rail,  quail,  partridge,  pheasant  or  grouse,  shall  be 
guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Sec.  14.  Every  person  who,  upon  any  ioclosed  or  culti- 
vated grounds,  which  are  private  property,  and  where  signs 
are  displayed  forbidding  such  shooting,  shall  shoot  any  quail, 
bobwhite,  pheasant,  partridge,  grouse,  dove,  deer  or  wild 
duck,  without  permission  first  obtained  from  the  owner  or 
person  in  possession  of  such  grounds,  shall  he  guilty  of  a  mis- 
demeanor. 

Sec.  15.  Every  person  who,  in  the  state  of  California, 
shall  maliciously  tear  down,  mutilate,  or  destroy  any  sign, 
signboard  or  other  notice  forbidding  shooting  on  private 
property,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Sec.  1G.  Every  railroad  company,  express  company, 
transportation  company,  or  other  common  carrier,  their 
otlicers.  agents  aud  servants,  and  every  other  person,  who 
shall  transport,  carry,  or  take  out  of  this  Stale,  or  shall  re- 
ceive for  the  purpose  of  transporting  from  the  State,  any 
deer,  deer  skin,  buck,  doe,  or  fawn,  or  any  quail,  partridge, 
pheasant,  grouse,  prairie  chicken,  dove,  or  wild  duck,  except 
for  purposes  of  propagation,  or  who  shall  transport,  carry  or 
take  from  the  State,  or  receive  for  the  purpose  of  transport- 
ing from  this  State,  the  caraasses  of  any  such  auimal  or  bird, 
shall  beguilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Sea  17.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California, 
shall  at  any  time,  hunt,  shoot,  shoot  at,  take,  kill  or  destroy, 
buy,  sell,  give  away,  or  have  in  his  possession, except  for  the 
purposes  of  propagation,  or  for  educational  or  scientific  pur- 
poses, any  meadow  lark,  canary,  California  oriole,  humming 
bird,  thrush  or  mocking  bird,  or  any  part  of  the  skin,  skins, 


or  plumage  thereof,  or  who  shall  rob  the  nests  or  take  or  de- 
stroy the  eggs  of  any  of  the  said  birds,  shall  be  guilty  of  a 
misdemeanor. 

Sections  13,  14,  15  and  16  were  adopted  with  very  little 
argument. 

On  Thursday  morning  Senator  Ford  brought  up  the  ques- 
tion of  protecting  meadow  larks,  robins,  etc.,  and  C.  W.  Kyle 
moved  that  Section  17  be  adopted  as  above.  Carried  unanim- 
ously. 

C.  W.  Kyle  then  moved  that  robins  be  included  in  Section? 
1,  and  it  was  so  ordered. 

W.  S.  Kittle  then  moved  that  the  chair  appoint  a  com- 
mittee of  three  to  wait  upon  the  Board  of  Super- 
visors of  San  Francisco  county,  and  request  them  to  prohibit 
the  sale  of  larks  and  other  insectivorous  birds  in  public 
markets.  The  chair  appointed  John  Stack,  W.  S.  Kittle  and 
G.  H.  T.  Jackson 

The  committee  on  framing  new  laws  suggested  the  ap- 
pointment of  two  State  Game  Wardens,  to  be  paid  a  salary  of 
$1,800  per  year  and  traveling  expenses  not  to  exceed  $1,000 
per  year.  A.J.  Wiley  moved  the  amendment  below,  which 
was  suggested  by  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  for 
months  past,  and  it  was  adopted  almost  unanimously: 

"The  Board  of  Supervisors  of  each  county  in  the  Slate 
shall,  at  their  first  meeting  of  each  year,  appoint  a  suitable 
person  to  serve  for  the  period  of  one  year  from  the  date  of 
his  appointment,  as  Fish  ana  Game  Warden  of  said  county, 
which  office  is  hereby  created.  The  duties  of  this  office  ^ba'll 
be  to  enforce  the  State  laws  regarding  the  protection  of  hah 
and  game  within  the  county  for  which  he  is  appointed.  Said 
Warden  shall  receive  a  salary  to  be  fixed  by  the  Board  of 
Supervisors  and  to  be  paid  in  the  same  manner  as  other 
county  officers,  not  lo  exceed  $100  per  month. 

"Any  person  found  guilty  of  a  violation  of  any  of  the  pro 
visions  of  this  chapter  shall  be  fined  in  a  snm  not  less  than 
twenty  dollars,  or  be  imprisoned  in  the  county  jail  in  the 
county  in  which  the  conviction  shall  be  had  not  less  than  ten 
days,  or  be  punished  by  both  such  fine  and  imprisonment. 
All  moneys  collected  for  fines  for  violation  of  the  provisions 
of  this  chapter  shall  be  paid  into  the  general  fund  of  the 
county  in  which  the  conviction  is  had." 

Mr.  Wiley  then  moved  that  Wilson  or  Jack  snipe  and 
black  or  barnacle  brant  be  limited  as  to  time  of  sale,  and  th^se 
birds  were  added  to  what  is  now  Section  12  of  the  proposed 
law,  not  Section  11  as  we  stated  last  week. 

N.  D.  Dutcher  moved  that  the  use  of  hounds  in  hunting 
deer  he  prohibited.  The  question  was  debated  hotly  for  a 
brief  period  and  put  to  vote.  The  noes  had  it  by  a  large 
majority,  but  before  President  Robinson  could  count  the  vote, 
Mr.  Dulcher  withdrew  the  motion.  We  are  pleased 
that  he  did  so,as  more  deer  are  killed  by  the  still  hunters  who 
are  never  found  than  those  by  the  use  of  hounds.  Hounds 
are  used  principally  to  trail  the  wounded  deer,  and,  more- 
over, so  many  coyotes  and  wild  cats  are  killed  through  the 
aid  of  hounds,  the  proposition  would  unquestionably  have 
met  with  defeat  had  the  convention  endorsed  the  proposition 
of  Mr.  Dutcher. 

THE  FISH  LAWS. 

But  few  alterations  were  proposed  in  the  existing  fish  laws. 
The  convention  being  of  the  opinion  that  the  principle  thing 
needed  was  the  proper  enforcement  o(  the  present  laws. 

Section  1 — Every  person  who,  between  the  first  day  of  Au 
gust  and  the  first  day  of  October  of  each  year,  takes  or 
catches,  buys,  sells,  or  has  in  his  possession  any  fresh  salmon, 
is  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor.  Every  person  who  shall  set  or 
draw,  or  assist  in  setting  or  drawirjg,  any  net  or  seine  for  the 
purpose  of  taking  or  catching  salmon  or  shad  in  any  of  the 
public  waters  of  this  State,  at  any  time  between  sunrise  of 
each  Saturday  and  sunset  of  the  following  Sunday,  is  guilty  of 
a  mise'emeanor.  Every  person  who  shall,  for  the  purpose  of 
catching  shad  or  salmon  in  any  public  waters  of  this  State, 
fish  with  or  use  any  seine  or  net,  the  meshes  of  which  are, 
when  drawn  closely  together  and  measured  inside  the  knot, 
less  than  seven  and  one-half  inches  in  length,  is  guilty  of  a 
misdemeanor,  and  upon  conviction  shall  be  fined  not  less 
than  one  hundred  dollars,  or  in  default,  not  less  than  one 
hundred  days  in  the  county  jail.  One  half  of  all  moneys  col- 
lected for  fines  for  violation  of  the  provisions  of  this  chapter 
shall  be  paid  to  the  informer,  one  quarter  to  the  District  At- 
torney of  the  county  in  which  the  action  is  tried,  and  one 
quarter  shall  be  paid  into  the  "Fish  Commission  Fund;" 
all  other  costs  shall  be  charged  and  collected  from  the  county 
in  which  the  action  is  prosecuted.  Nothing  in  this  chapter 
shall  prohibit  the  United  Stales  Fish  Commissioners,  or  the 
Fish  Commissioners  of  this  State,  from  taking  such  fish  as 
they  deem  necessary  for  the  purpose  of  artificial  hatching  at 
all  times. 

Note.— By  an  Act  passed  February  28, 18S7.  Stats,  of  1SS7.  p.  5  (! 
page  122  infra),  costs  of  prosecutious  for  violating  laws  for  the  pn 
vation  of  fisb  are  to  be  paid  by  the  State. 

Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  Babcock  was  called  upon  for 
his  opinion  as  to  the  above,  and  he  stated  that  the  com  in  is* 
sioner  had  advocated  this  change  for  years,  but  that  the 
canners  had  invariably  defeated  its  passage.  He  stated  that 
thousands  of  dollars  would  be  spent  in  an  endeavor  to  defeat 
the  proposed  change,  but  the  convention  did  not  wish  to  go 
on  record  as  endorsing  a  law  that  every  member  knew  to  be 
a  detriment  to  the  salmon  of  California,  and  the  extension  of 
the  close  season  on  salmon  from  one  month  to  two  was  en- 
dorsed unanimously. 

Section  2.  Every  person  who  takes  or  catches,  buys,  sells 
or  has  in  his  posession  any  striped  bass  of  less  than  three 
pounds  in  weight  is  guilty  ofa  misdemeanor. 

Section  o.  Every  person  who,  between  the  first  day  of  Jan- 
uary and  the  first  day  of  July,  takes,  catches  or  has  in  his     t 
possession  any  black  bass,  is  guilty  ofa  misdemeanor. 

Section  1.  Every  person  who,  in  the  State  of  California, 
shall  take,  catches  or  kills,  sells,  exposes  for  sale,  or  offers  for 
sale  or  has  in  his  possession  any  lobster  or  crawfish  between 
the  lolh  day  of  May  and  the  loth  day  of  July  of  each  year 
shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 

Section  5.  Every  persou  who,  in  the  State  of  California, 
shall  at  any  time  buv,  sell,  barter,  exchange,  offer  or  expose- 
for  sale  or  have  in  his  possession  any  lobster  or  crawfish  of 
less  than  one-pound  weight  shall  be  guilty  of  a  misdemeanor. 
It  shall  be  no  defense  in  a  prosecution  for  a  violation  of  the  i  >: 
provisions  of  this  ordinance  that  the  fish  sold  or  possessed 
were  caught  outside  of  this  State. 

The  above  were  recommended  by  the  Fish  Commission  a 
unanimously  adopted. 

Section  (».  Any  person  or  persons,  corporation  or  corpora- 
tions, owning,  in  whole  or  in  part,  or  leasing,  operating,  or

shall  put  or  caused  to  be  placed  and  maintained  over  the 
inlet  of  said  ditch,  canal  or  mill-race,  a  wire  screen  of  such  I 
construction  and  fineness,  strength  and  quality,  as  shall  pre-  ; 
vent  any  such  fish  from  entering  such  ditch,  canal,  or  mill-  , 
race,  when  required  to  do  so  by  the  Fish  Commissioners  of 
the  State  of  California. 

Section  7.  Any  person  who  shall  place  or  cause  to  be  placed  ; 
in  any  of  the  waters  of  this  State,  dynamite,  giant  powder  or  ; 
other  explosive  compound  for  the  purpose  of  killing  or  tak-  i 
ing  fish,  shall  be  guilty  of  a  niisdemeaoor. 

Sec.  6  as  originally  proposed  by  the  committee  made  it 
compulsory  that  such  screens  be  erected.  John  Sinclair,  of 
Tulare,  spoke  strongly  against  the  adoption  of  the  resolution 
on  the  ground  that  the  irrigation  ditches  of  his  county  were 
the  onlv  method  they  had  of  reducing  the  carp  nuisance,  as 
everv  one  present  was  in  sympathy  with  any  one  who  wanted 
to  exterminate  carp,  it  was  immediately  suggested  that  the 
proviso  be  added  "when  required  to  do  by  the  Fish  Com- 
mission or  Game  Warden,"  and  the  amendment  was  carried 
unanimously. 

Judge  C.  X.  Post  moved  that  the  revision  committee  be 
instructed  to  frame  a  bill  asking  for  the  repeal  of  the  State 
law  regarding  catching  trout  in  Siskiyou  County  which  reads 
as  follows : 

[Approved  April  2,  1S66;   Stats.  1866,  p.  857.     Continued  in 
force  by  Political  Code,  Sec.  19,  Subd.  16.] 

Sec.  1.  It  shall  be  and  is  hereby  declared  to  be  lawful  to 
fish  for  and  catch  trout  with  hook  and  line  in  Siskiyou  county 
at  all  limes  and  seasons  of  the  year. 

Sec.  2.  All  Acts  and  parts  of  Acts  in  conflict  with  the  pro- 
visions of  this  Act  are  hereby  repealed,  so  far  as  they  relate 
to  Siskiyou  County. 

Sec.  3.  This  Act  shall  be  in  force  from  and  after  its  pass- 
age. 

Sec.  8.  Every  person  who  shall  at  any  time  except  with 
hook  and  line  take  or  catch  fish  of  any  kind  from  any  rivers 
or  streams  within  the  State  of  California  upon  which  a 
United  States  fish  Hatchery  is  in  operation  shall  be  guilty  of 
a  misdemeanor.  Adopted  unanimously. 
.  Resolved,  That  it  is  the  wish  of  the  convention  that  the 
Legislature  of  this  State  do  and  they  are  hereby  requested  to 
repeal  subdivision  29i  of  Section  2-5  of  the  County  Govern- 
ment Bill  which  delegates  the  power  to  the  Boards  of  Super- 
visors to  change  the  game  laws  at  will.  Dr.  I.  W.  Hayes 
and  Senator  Ford  spoke  against  the  resolution,  many  others 
for  it- 

On  motion  of  Judge  Post  the  chair  appointed  Crittenden 
Kobiuson,  C.  IS".  Post,  Hon.  T.  L.  Ford',  Hon.  M.  M.  Estee 
and  H.  T.  Payne  a  committee  to  prepare  a  bill  for  presenta- 
tion at  the  next  Legislature. 

The  report  of  committee  on  permanent  organization  was 
reconsidered  and  the  delegates  present  were  invited  to  join 
the  State  Sportsmen's  Association. 

Senator  Ford  moved  that  the  chair  appoint  one  member 
from  each  county  in  the  Slate  to  assist  in  passing  the  proposed 
bill.    1 

Judge  Post  made  a  very  eloquent  closing  address,  not  quite 
as  amusingassome  of  the  after-dinner  speeches  that  we  have 
heard  him  make,  but  very  fitting  to  the  occasion,  full  of  true 
sports  man -like  thoughts  and  wishes.  His  definition  of  a 
Bportiogman  and  a  sportsman  was  good,  and  it  is  indeed  a 
pity  that  the  line  is  not  more  distinctly  drawn  in  the  mind  of 
the  public. 

But  one  circumstance  occurred  during  the  convention  that 
we  regret  and  that  was  the  ungentlemanly,  and  unsportsman- 
like action  of  H.  T.  Payne. 

M.  J.  Boggs,  of  Colusa,  was  elected  secretary  of  the  con- 
vention and  performed  his  work  well  until  H.  T.  Payne, 
with  his  consummate  presumption,  usurped  his  position. 
Wishing  to  advertise  his  wares  and  push  himself  into  promi- 
nence he  took  upon  himself  the  duties  of  the  secretary.  Not 
;  being  able  to  get  the  election,  he  quietlv  put  Mr.  Boggs  in 
the  background  bv  taking  his  duties  upon  himself.  Mr. 
~~  Jgs  felt  the  insult  keenly,  but,  being  too  much  ofja  gentle- 
man to  insist  upon  his  rights,  and  not  caring  to  express  his 
opinion  about  the  usurper,  he  left  the  convention  and  allowed 
Payne  to  occupv,  bv  default,  the  position  he  coveted.  But 
Pavne's  days  are  numbered;  the  man  who  shoots  quail  in 
Southern  California  until  the  season  has  expired  and  then 
crosses  the  line  into  Mexico  and  shoots  for  several  months 
loDger  cannot  longer  pose  among  sportsmen  as  a  sportsman. 

The    Midwinter    Fair    Tournament. 


The  blue  rock  tournament  at  the  Eecreation  Grounds, 
Midwinter  Exposition,  San  Francisco,  April  28  and  29, 
promises  to  exceed  all  previous  tournaments  in  the  number 
of  entries.  We  have  received  letters  at  this  early  date  from 
all  parts  of  the  State,  from  sportsmen  who  intend  to  partici- 
pate in  the  prize  match.  Many  of  them  from  parties  who 
have  not  had  a  gun  in  their  hands  for  years. 

Contrary  to  expectation  the  Team  Trophy  match  will  also 
bring  out  a  good  entry.  The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  enter 
two  teams.  Team  Xo.  1  will  consist  of  T.  R.  Barney,  C. 
Cate,  D.  Daniels,  J.  Karney  and  J.  Brims  with  A.  W.  Allen 
substitute.  Team  No.  2 — G.  Franzen,  R.  Wenzel,  F.  Vernon, 
L.  Bolander  and  E.  Forster. 

The  Nimrod  Gun  Club  of  San  Francisco  have  entered  one 
.earn,  consisting  of  J.  McAvoy,  E.  Steiner,  E.  StaufF,  R. 
Liddle  and  H.  Reistadter.  The  Empire  Club  will  enter  one 
)r  more  teams,  and  the  Alameda  County  Sportsman's  Club 
■  ne  team. 

It  is  thought  that  a  team  will  come  up  from  Dinuba  and 
Craver,  and  if  the  Sacramento,  Stockton,  Petaluma,  Dixon 
ind  other  clubs  are  not  represented  then  the  signs  of  the 
imes  go  for  naught. 

The  match  for  the  United  States  Smokeless  Powder  Com- 
ly's  medal  will  unquestionably  bring  out  a  large  entry, 
is  is  a  home  production  that  promises  to  rival  the  best. 
'he  conditions  are  so  liberal  the  match  cannot  fail  to  fill. 

The  programme  of  the  two  days'  events  is  as  follows  :

Company  C    Again  the    Champions. 

The  highest  score  ever  made  by  twenty  men  in  military 
team  shooting  was  made  by  members  of  Company  C,  of  the 
First  Infantry  Regiment  K.  G.  C,  at  Shell  Mound  yesterday 
in  competition  for  the  Tobin  trophy.  The  team  from  Com- 
pany C  captured  the  trophy  and  the  world's  record  by  the  un- 
precedented score  of  865  points.  Company  C,  which  has 
always  been  put  up  as  the  crack  company  of  the  "Nationals," 
caD  uow  claim  to  be  world  beaters. 

The  scores  yesterday  were  phenomenal  and  the  team  made 
the  remarkable  record  of  but  three  threes  in  200  shotsjand  not 
a  score  under  40.  The  average  was  43J-,  which  beats  the  record 
of  the  Carson  Guard  of  42  3-5.  This  average  of  the  latter 
company  was  made  in  a  match  with  a  team  of  twenty  men 
against  the  Schuetzen  Verein  in  which  852  points  were 
scored  by  the  winners.  The  team  of  Company  C  beats  this 
by  13  points. 

Captain  Thaxter  of  tbe  Carson  team,  who  was  present  at 
the  shooting  yesterday,  conceded  that  Company  C  are  the 
champions,  and  says  that  it  will  be  a  long  time  before  the 
score  will  be  beaten. 

The  Tobin  trophy,  a  silver  vase  appropriately  inscribed, 
was  presented  by  the  family  of  the  late  Colonel  Tobin,  com- 
manding the  Third  Regiment.  It  is  shot  for  annually  by 
teams  from  the  National  Guard,  and  has  been  held  for  four 
years  in  succession  by  Company  C  of  the  First  Regiment. 
The  score  by  which  it  was  won  last  year  of  834  was  the  best 
ever  made  with  military  rifles  by  twenty  men  in  team  shoot- 
ing, and  made  the  California  record  at  that  time. 

The  championship  score  of  the  team  of  Company  C  was

pany D,  Captain  Baker,  scored  665;  Company  H,  Captain 
Eisen,  scored  594. 

The  day  was  an  unfavorable  one  on  account  of  the  high 
wind  and  the  unsteadiness  of  the  targets.  The  shooting  by 
the  team  of  Company  C  was  watched  closely  bv  the  crowd  in 
attendance.  When  the  s^core  was  announced  it  was  received 
with  cheers  by  the  spectators.  Captain  Woodrufl'announced 
that  the  team  of  Company  C  was  ready  to  maintain  the  cham- 
pionship against  all  comers. 

The  ten  men  of  the  team  of  Company  C  who  shot  against 
ten  from  the  Carson  City  Guard  in  the  Midwinter  Fair  shoot- 
ing festival  made  441  yesterday,  against  439  in  the  contt-st 
with  the  Carson  team*  but  were  still  two  points  tHow  the 
record  of  -443  made  by  ten  of  the  Carson  marksmen. 

In  theshooc  for  medals  by  the  shooting  section  of  the  Order 
of  Red  Meo  the  championship  was  awarded  to  E.  Bloedan, 
with  395  points;  first-class  medal  to  C.  Olag,  303;  second

The  Lincoln  Club. 

At  the  annual  meeting  of  the  Lincoln  Club  held  on  Friday 
evening  of  last  week,  the  following  officers  were  reelected: 
President,  F.  Venker;  Vice-President,  C.  Mellith;  Treasurer, 
H.  G.  Wenzel;  Secretary,  Edgar  Forster. 

At  the  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  club  at  their  grounds 
near  the  Alameda  Mole  on  Sunday  last,  the  scores  were  very 
low,  a  gale  of  wind  interfering  with  the  shooting.  Karnev 
won  the  first  class  medal  with  sixteen,  Fischer  and  Elliott 
lieing  for  the  second  class  medal  with  fourteen.     The  score:

The  Sale  of  Venison. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Enclosed  find  a 
clipping  from  the  Chronicle.  This  is  not  a  new  decision  up- 
on tbis  subject,  but  the  first  decision  in  support  of  tbe  law. 
A  short  time  ago  a  butcher  in  Ukiah,  was  arrested  for  expos- 
ing and  selling  the  carcass  of  a  deer  (venison)  but  was 
promptly  acquitted.  This  acquittal  was  obtained  through 
trial  byjury. 

One  of  the  most  urgent  needs  to  protect  our  deer  from  de- 
struction, is  to  enact  a  law  empowering  any  citizen  during  the 
close  season,  to  shoot  any  and  all  dogs  caught  running  deer, 
if  the  citizen  is  supported  by  the  testimony  of  one  or  more 
witnesses  that  the  dogs  were  at  the  lime,  in   pursuit  of  deer. 

Nature,  God  himself,  has  given  the  timid  fawn,  lor  months 
after  birth,  a  foot  which  leaves  no  scent  behind,  so  as  to  tbrow 
the  wolf,  coyote  and  dog  off  the  track.  How  necessary  then 
to  supplement  His  wise  provision  with  a  law  to  keep  the  hun- 
gry pack  of  wandering  curs  of  high  and  low  degree,  in  the 
close  season,  where  thev  belong — at  home. 

P.  J.  Shaftek. 

Olema,  Aprim,1894.] 

The  clipping  reads  as  follows  : 

IMfOP.TANT  DECISION  RENDEBBD  BV  A  JUDGE  AT  MM  ANGELES. 

Lus  VNGELES,  April  10.— Judge  Smith  uecidec  to-lay   tliat  to  sell 

deer  meat  within  the  limits  of  this. S^  game   law   is  in 

force  even  though  the  deer  might  have  been  killed  in  *ome  remote 

part  oftbe  country  where  there  was  no  law.  is  an  otlense  punishable 

1  under  the  statutes.  The  decision  isan  important  one  and  i>  pruhaMy 

:  the  first  on  the  point  rendered  in  California,    for  the  question   as  to 

1  the  rights  of  butchers  inthis  respect  has  never  before  rjoeD  settled. 

in  explanation  of  the  reasons  for  ruling  as  be  does  Judge   .Smith 

has  prepared  a  iengthv decision,  which  sets  torth  that   the  particular 

clause  in  section  626  Of  the  Penal  Code  of  California,  which  reads  : 

1  "Every  person  in  the  State  of  California  who  shall  at  any   time  sell, 

I  or  offer  for  sale,  tbe  hideor  meat  of  any  deer  shall  be  guilty  of  a  mis- 

'  demeanor"  is  not  to  be  construed  as  covering  ouly  deer  killed  in 

California  but  means  simply  that  which  the  words  implv. 
;      The  case  at  point  was  against  a  butcher  here,  who  sold  meat  from  a 
deer  brought  from  Texas.

last  week  forbids  the  sale  of  venison  at  all  limes.  Will  our

The  Latest  ie  the  Best  of  All.. 


The  Smokeless  powder  to  be  used  at  the  Midwinter  Fair 
Tournament,  is  a  California  invention  and  is  owned  by  the 
l*nUed  Siales  Smokeless  Powder  Co.  of  this  city. 

This  powder  is  entirely  dirlerent  in  character  from  the 
other  smokelefs  powders  now  on  the  market.  It  never  de- 
tonates, heat  and  cold  do  not  affect  it.  It  does  not  absorb 
moisture  and  if  it  is  exposed  to  dampness  itsqualilies  are 
not  impaired — in  fact  a  small  quantity  of  water  can  be  mixed 
with  it  and  it  can  then  be  tired  with  the  ordinary  primer.  Re- 
peated tests  made  by  Capl.  Day  of  the  regular  army,  shows 
thai  forty -five  grains  weight  in  a  Number  12  gun,  give  an 
average  velocity  of  840  to  SOU  feet  per  second,  with  the  Rival 
and  Nitro  Shell.  Kor  several  months  the  powder  has  been 
shot  in  the  fields  and  on  the  marshes  by  scores  of  sportsmen. 
Its  killing  qualities  are  unusual,  birds  being  dropped  at  un- 
expected distances. 

At  the  trap  it  is  making  remarkable  records. 

All  the  powder  yet  put  out  by  the  Company  is  made  by 
hand  and  consequently  is  not  so  good  as  it  will  be  when  manu- 
factured by  machinery.  While  it  will  cost  more  than  black 
pjwder  it  will  be  much  less  in  price  than  the  other  smoke- 
less powders,  and  considering  that  forty-five  grains  of  it  is 
more  than  equal  to  ninety  grains  oi  black,  it  will  be  but  little 
more  expensive.  The  Company  will  furnish  fine  ammunition 
toall  who  desire  lo  shoot  at  the  tournament.

A   Day's  Good    Coursing  in    Newark  Park. 


The  San  Francisco  Coursing  Club  had  a  good  day's  spoit  in 
their  park  at  Newark  on  Sunday  last.  The  steke  on  this  oc- 
casion was  for  members  and  their  dogs  only.  Twenty-eight 
nominations  were  made,  and  with  the  exception  of  two — 
Long  John  and  Skyrocket — all  the  well  known  dogs  of  this 
section  of  the  State  showed  up. 

The  grounds  were  in  tine  order  and  the  hares,  of  which 
there  was  a  plethora,  were  stout  runners,  consequently  the 
sport  was  first-class  throughout  the  day. 

The  day  was  not  altogether  all  that  could  be  desired,  so  far 
as  the  spectators  were  concerned,  a  strong  cold  wind  from  the 
westward  continuing  to  blow  throughout  the  day,  driving  the 
ladies  to  the  shelter  of  the  club  house  for  several  hours. 

The  absence  of  Mr.  Grace  and  Mr.  Wren  from  the  meet- 
ing was,  of  course,  much  felt  at  the  commencement  of  the 
day's  sport,  as  most  of  the  leashmen  believe  that  without 
their  presence  and  assistance  there  cannot  be  genuine  cours- 
ing. However,  needs  must,  and  John  Grace  Jr.  took  the 
place  of  the  veteran  and  succeeded  in  giving  very  general 
satisfaction,  though  he  had  many  difficult  courses  to  assign, 
The  slippihg,  too,  must  not  be  found  fault  with,  though  in 
many  cases  the  want  of  a  master  hand  was  needed. 

The  winner  of  the  stake  turned  up  in  J.  H.  Perigo's  hand- 
some bitch,  Wee  Lassie,  and  a  more  popular  win  has  not  been 
seen  on  any  coursing  field  in  the  State  for  some  years.  Mr. 
Perigo  is  one  of  the  old-time  coursers  who  follow  the  sport 
for  the  love  of  it,  caripg  nothing  for  whatever  gains  may  be 
attached  to  it,  looking  only  for  the  honor  of  the  win  and  the 
knowledge  that  his  dog,  to  say  the  least  of  it,  is  second  to 
none.  Mrs.  Perigo,  who  was  also  on  the  field  and  who  takes 
special  delight  in  caring  for  her  beautiful  Wee  Lassie,  was 
warmly  congratulated  by  all  her  friends,  and  she  has  hund- 
reds of  them. 

Wee  Lassie  is  a  clever  greyhound,  full  of  vim  and  dash 
and  fit  to  rub  shoulders  with  any  of  her  kin  on  any  field,  as 
she  amply  proved  on  this  occasion  by  the  manner  in  which 
she  upset  such  dogs  as  West  Side,  Pride  of  the  Park  and  Mag- 
pie, to  say  nothing  of  the  two  first  courses. 

Another  great  dog,  though  beaten  in  the  final  by  Wee 
Lassie,  is  N.  Neeary's  Magpie.  His  speed  is  something 
phenomenal.  Indeed,  if  he  was  a  little  more  of  a  close 
worker  it  would  be  difficult  for  even  a  Fulterton  to  lower  his 
colors. 

The  wonder  of  the  day  was  Mr.  Edmonds'  little  beauty, 
Pride  of  the  Park.  She  weighs  but  thirty-seven  pounds,  yet 
she  lowered  the  colors  of  Quick,  Blue  Jacket,  Dotty  Dimple, 
and  in  her  first  trial  with  Wee  Lassie  she  sent  both  flags  up 
after  a  long  and  hard-fought  course  and  in  the  second  at- 
tempt drove  the  Lassie  to  her  very  best  before  beiug  upset. 

Another  dog  that  ran  well  was  J.  O'Shea's  Fearless.  He  is 
but  a  young  dog,  but  his  dash  of  speed  is  undoubtedly  great, 
as  was  shown  by  the  manner  in  which  be  handled  Vida  Shaw, 
who  went  out  a  2  to  1  favorite,  but  might  as  well  have  been 
in  the  kennel.  In  his  second  course  with  Dotty  I>imple, 
which  he  certainly  lost  by  the  way  the  hare  favored  the  bitch, 
Fearless  again  showed  his  powers. 

Mr.  Curtis  has  assuredly  a  young  Skyrocket  in  West  Side. 
He  is  a  son  of  Skyrocket,  out  of  Slv  Girl,  and  that  he  will  be 
as  good  if  not  better  than  the  old  dog  there  can  scarcely  be  a 
doubt.  Mr.  Cronin's  old  and  well-known  dog,  Depend-On- 
Me,  showed  up  well,  especially  in  bis  course  with  the  flyer, 
Marvelous,  where  his  working  power  showed  out  to  great  per- 
fection. 

Old  Shortstop,  too,  fought  well  for  his  well-earned  reputa- 
tion, and  took  $25  out  of  the  purse  before  he  fell  to  Magpie. 
Flora,  a  new-comer  among  the  Coast  dogs,  showed  both  speed 
and  working  power,  and  gave  Shortstop  a  great  squeeze  be- 
fore he  succeeded  in  taking  the  flag,  for  which  he  had  to 
make  two  trials. 

The  following  are  the  winners  and  the  amount  of  the 
prizes:  J.  H.  Perigo's  Wee  Lassie,  $70;  Neary's  Magpie, 
$50;  J.  J.  Edmond's  Pride  of  the  Park  and  V.  Curtis'  Short 
Stop,  $25  each;  P.  Curtis' West  Side  and  T.  J.  Cronin's  De- 
pend on  Me  and  Dotty  Dimple  $10  each.

Oaliforniana  and  the  American  Coursing  Board 

Many  courses  on  this  side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains  cherish 
a  hope  that  the  clubs  on  the  Pacific  Coast  will  elect  members 
to  the  American  Coursing  Board  and  thereby  make  the 
board  thoroughly  nitiooal  in  character  and  composition. 
The  Californians  have  not  been  in  a  hurry  to  do  60,  and  we 
are  aware  that  the  Board's  addition  to  Rule  IS  has  been  un- 
favorably received  on  the  coast  and  has  aroused  a  strong 
feeling  in  the  most  prominent  club  against  doing  so.  After 
all,  it  is  quite  natural  that  the  Californians  should  hesitate 
abo*;t  taking  such  a  step.  Distances  are  so  great  that  the 
Californian  representatives  would  seldom  be  present  at  the 
Board's  meetings,  and  should  a  case  arise  out  there  that  would 
need  settling  by  such  a  bodyas  the  Board  both  parties  to  it 
would  probably  prefer  that  it  be  referred  to  a  commiilee  or 
board  composed  of  resident  courses  who  would  have  a  belter 
opportunity  to  interrogate  witnesses  and  go  into  the  merits  of 
the  case  thoroughly.  It  may  be  argued  th^it  the  members 
elected  by  the  clubs  in  California  could  decide  on  all  cases 
arising  in  that  State.  But  it  might  happen  that  a  majority 
of  the  members  of  the  Board  would  not  agree  with  the  de- 
cision rendered  by  the  Californian  membeis  ;  or,  let  us  sup- 
pose, for  the  sake  of  the  argument,  that  the  latter  were  to 
make  a  palpable  mistake  ;  yet  the  Board,  as  a  whole,  would 
be  implicated  aod  would  be  directly  responsible  for  a  ruling 
that  was  wrong.  In  the  same  way  the  Californian  members 
of  the  Board  might  disagree  with  a  decision  rendered  by 
members  in  the  Western  States,  or  might  be  strongly  opposed 
to  some  change  made  in  the  rules.  California  has  some 
coursers  of  long  experience,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  their 
presence  on  the  American  Coursing  Board  would  materially 
strengthen  it  and  promote  con6dence  in  it,  if  there  was  a  cer- 
tainty that  they  could  attend  its  sittings  and  take  part  in  its 
deliberations  and  rulings.  Should  the  coursers  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  be  pleased  to  throw  in  their  lot  with  the  American 
Coursing  Board  and  make  its  scope  more  national  they  would 
be  heartily  welcomed  ;  but  it  would  necessitate  the  Board 
holdingoneof  its  semi-annual  sittings  in  California,  which, 
except  in  rare  instances,  would  be  present  at  one  meeting  and 
another  set  at  the  other. 

Would  it  not  be  better  for  the  California  clubs  to  forma 
Pacific  Coast  Coursing  Board,  constructed  in  a  manner  simi- 
lar to  the  American  Coursing  Board  and  having  jurisdiction 
over  the  sport  on  the  coast?  The  two  Boards  could  maintain 
one  stud  book  and  work  in  unison,  and  if  one  found  it  neces- 
sary to  punish  an  offender  the  ruling  would  be  recognized  by 
the  other.  We  hope  our  readers,  especially  those  in  Cali- 
fornia, may  find  this  suggestion  worthy  of  consideration. — 
American  Field, 

[The  suggestion  is  a  good  one  and  we   trust  that  our  Cal 
fornia  coursing  men  will   follow  it. — Ed.]

Still    Violating    the   Fiah    Law. 


Complaints  come  in  that  the  fish  laws  are  being  violated  in 
Sonoma  county,  says  the  Republican.  A  well  known  young 
man  told  a  reporter  Monday  that  he  had  been  up  the  country 
and  had  found  where  a  large  number  of  trout  had  been  killed 
in  a  Santa  Rosa  creek  by  the  use  of  giant  powder.  One 
younti  fellow,  he  heard,  had  killed  150  fine  trout  that  way, 
and  he  seemed  to  think  it  about  time  the  fish  commissioners 
got  after  these  violators.  Every.year  the  State  goes  lo  the 
expense  of  putting  a  large  number  of  trout  in  the  streams, 
and  it  is  too  bad  that  so  many  of  them  should  be  destroyed 
with  powder.  They  are  placed  here  to  provide  sport  for  our 
people,  and  if  some  of  these  violators  were  severely  punished 
it  would  put  an  end  to  such  offenses. 


Herring  have  arrived  in  Monterey  Bay,  and  as  is  usually 
the  case  the  salmon  have  followed  them.  The  first  salmon  of 
the  season  to  be  caught  by  hook  and  line  was  caught  on  Sun- 
day off  Santa  Cruz  by  Messrs  Hemming  and  Sterling  with 
sardine  bait.  The  salmon  weighed  nine  and  one-half  pounds 
dressed,  and  was  on  exhibition  Monday  in  the  show  window 
of  E.  T.  Allen,  Co.,  the  popular  sporting  goods  dealers.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED   AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Psesidest  OF  the  N.  T.  A.— Saturday  last  I  had  the 
pleasure  of  meeting  Major  P.  P.  Johnstone,  President  of  the 
National  Trotting  Association.  Prepared  to  be  favorably 
impressed  from  a  brief  interview  at  the  convention  in  Chicago 
three  years  ago,  and  that  sustained  by  the  "  tongue  of  good 
report "  from  all  who  were  on  intimate  terms  with  him,  I 
must  say  that  the  few  hours  passed  in  his  company  added  to 
my  appreciation.  Gentlemanly,  urbane  to  a  degree  which 
few  possess,and  above  all,  in  my  estimation,  showing  by  word, 
look  and  gesture  that  he  is  aD  honest  man  and  one  who  would 
disdain  anything  but  a  straightforward  couise.  Accompanied 
by  a  guide  from  the  office,  Mr.  Philbrook,  he  came  to  my 
place  in  the  forenoon,  and  much  as  I  would  have  preferred 
his  company  without  hindrance  to  a  full  conversation  in  re- 
gard to  light  harness  horses  at  home  and  abroad,  to  visiting 
the  Bay  District  track  in  the  afternoon  by  going 
there,  he  would  have  a  good  opportunity  to  meet 
representative  horsemen  that  otherwise  would  not 
be  enjoyed.  Major  Johnstone  is  a  breeder  of  thor- 
oughbreds as  well  as  trotters,  though  the  former  he  sells  at 
yearlings  while  the  trotters  are  trained.  He  is,  of  coarse,  in- 
terested in  both,  and  was  gratified  by  seeing  the  finish  of  the 
California  stakes  as  we  reached  the  track  just  as  the  young- 
sters were  rounding  the  turn.  A  close  and  excitiog  finish  in 
which  the  late  additions  to  the  racing  brigade,  and  deservedly 
popular,  A.  B.  Spreckels  and  Naglee  Burke,  ran  first  and 
second. 

The  next  race  was  also  won  by  Mr.  Spreckels.  the  Austra- 
lian mare,  Candid,  being  the  victor,  and  this  led  to  a  review 
of  tbt  blood  and  breediog  of  America,  England  and  Australia; 
Well  posted  in  all  pertaining  to  the  horse  is  the  President  of 
the  Trotting  Association^  that  this  portion  of  the  conversa- 
tion was  edifying  as  well  as  entertaining. 

Trfo  fellow  townsmen  were  met,  Colonel  Jack  China  and 
Starter  Ferguson,  and  the  delight  they  exhibited  in  meeting 
their  neighbor  was  another  evidence  that  the  estimate  I  had 
formed  at  first  sight  was  surely  and  emphatically  correct. 

Thomas  Jefferson  gave  it  as  hisopinion,after  close  observa- 
tion for  more  than  half  a  century,  that  a  man  who  was  good 
in  his  family,  a  good  neighbor  and  a  good  citizen  had  a  good 
religion,  and  though  in  his  day,  creeds  and  faiths  were  held 
of  great  importance,  so  that  the  remark  brought  a  deluge  of 
abuse,  it  is  by  far  the  best  criterion  of  character. 

Major  Johnstone  gave  unqualified  approval  of  the  orderly, 
guod-looking  assemblage,  and  did  not  hesitate  to  say  that  so 
far  as  could  be  told  from  outward  appearance  he  had  never 
seen  better  and  few  equals  of  the  people.  Twenty  years  ago 
I  was  at  the  opening  ot  the  Bay  Dstrict,  the  first  trotting  and 
race  meeting  I  attended  in  California.  The  same  thing 
struck  me,  and  followiog  the  circuit  throughout,  the  impres- 
sion was  heightened.  From  Chico  to  Los  Angeles  not  a  break, 
and  hence  when  some  of  the  scribes  who  would  fain  magnify 
the  present  by  disparaging  the  old,  published  unqualified 
lies  in  regard  to  the  behavior  of  the  old-timers,  it  raised  my 
ire. 

From  the  close  of  the  races  until  sundown  we  strolled 
through  the  grounds  of  the  Midwinter  Fair  The  people 
elicited  further  encomiums  from  the  Major,  and  I  urged  him 
on  his  visit  to  Palo  Alto  to  take  measures  to  see  the  students 
of  the  University  in  a  body,  and  he  would  see  that  the  coast 
was  not  restricted  to  horses  to  prove  that  no  other  region  in 
the  whole  world  excelled  it  for  promoting  physical  develop- 
ment. With  this  perfection  of  bone,  tendon  and  muscle,  there 
must  also  he  a  corresponding  excellence  of  brain,  heart  and 
nerve,  and, consequently  when  our  horses  gain  distinction  the 
people  will  not  rank  second  to  any  other.  It  is  granted  that  the 
climate  here  has  great  recuperative  powers.  Horses  brought 
from  the  East  have  been  benefited  by  the  change,  but  as  the 
native-bred  have  excelled  the  best  of  the  foreign  importa- 
tions, so  it  is  fair  to  infer  that  the  sons  and  daughters  and  la- 
ter generations  from  the  "emigrants"  will  also  be  superior. 

Before  I  met  Major  Johnstone  he  had  come  to  the  conclu- 
sion that  the  movement  to  organize  a  home  association  for 
the  government  ot  harness  sports  was  more  generally  sup- 
ported than  he  had  been  led  to  believe.  The  only  conversa- 
tion we  held  on  the  subject  was  included  in  a  very  few  min- 
utes' talk  just  before  I  bade  him  good-night,  and  that  was  de- 
ferred until  there  was  a  good  chance  of  "  missing  the  last 
boat."  Very  sensibly  and  with  great  fairness  he  conversed 
on  the  topic,  about  the  only  difference  in  our  views  being 
that  he  held  that  our  interests  as  well  as  those  of  the  East 
were  better  subserved  by  membership  in  the  old  asso- 
ciations.   There  was  oo  necessity  for  contention. 

Scarcely  an  excuse  for  argument  that  could  not  effect  a  par- 
ticle of  good,  and  hence  while  it  might  have  placed  him  in 
rather  aoawkhard  position  not  to  mention  the  subject,  he  did 
it  io  a  way  to  increase  by  admiration  of  the  man.  He  was 
well  aware  that  no  concessions  could  be  made  which  would 
remove  the  main  cause  for  an  organization  which  wasso  much 
more  convenient  for  those  who  had  business  to  come  before 
it.  An  agreement  on  the  part  of  the  President  of  the  N.  T. 
A.  that  the  decisions  of  the  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals  should 
be  final,  could  only  bind  litigants  who  acquiesced,  either 
party  having  the  same  right  to  appeal  while  the  By-Laws 
stood  as  they  are  and  these  could  only  be  amended  at  the  regu- 
lar biennial  congress  or  a  special  convention  for  the  purpose. 
Such  an  argument  was  offered  by  men  who  should  have  a 
clearer  knowledge  of  the  laws  which  govern,  and  that  Major 
Johnstone  would  not  sanction  any  such  proposal  was  too  evi- 
dent to  be  giveD  a  moment's  thought. 

While  little  was  said  regarding  the  movement  which  has 
established  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association, 
there  was  a  good  deal  of  conversation  on  other  points  of  dis- 
cussion aneut  trotting  sports  Not  nearly  so  much  as  I  would 
have  liked,  and  in  place  of  making  the  trip  to  the  races  and 
the  Fair,  would  have  preferred  the  benefits  which  would  ac- 
crued to  me  in  obtaining  his  views  more  fully.  So  far  as 
these  were  expressed  there  was  a  clear  conception  of  the 
course  which  would  be  the  most  likely  to  advance  the  inter- 
ests of  all  concerned. 

Not  at  all  radical,  ready  to  concede  minor  points  which 
might  be  at  variance  with  hisjudgment,  so  long  as  the  great- 
est good  to  the  greatest  number  was  the  aim,  and  just  as  zeal- 
ous as  a  person  can'be  to  remove  every  cause  of  reproach.  He 
fully  realizes  the  importance  of  making  every  heat  a  fair 
contest  of  ability,  and  was  so  well  pleased  with  the  rule  of 
the  Pacific  Coast  BWod-Horse  Association  bearing  on  that 
point  that  he  took  a  copy  for  future  reference.     That  it  is  a 


question  of  vital  importance  every  close  observer  must  admit, 
but  it  has  been  twisted  into  so  many  shapes,  so  many  sophis- 
tries brought  to  bear  that  it  is  extremely  difficult  to  divest  it 
of  all  the  excrescences  which  bide  the  real  figure.  Since  the 
conversation  with  Major  Johnstone  I  have  far  more  confid- 
ence that  the  day  is  not  very  distant  when  the  spirit  of  the 
Blood-Horse  rule  will  be  the  guide  in  all  the  sports  on  turf 
and  track.  In  factfinder  the  present  code  of  the  National 
that  would  be  the  proper  ruling  of  the  judges,  and  I  am  in- 
clined to  the  belief  that  with  the  President  in  the  stand,  that 
would  be  the  interpretation.  I  have  quoted  it  before  but  in- 
asmuch as  it  has  met  approval  from  the  highest  official  in  the 
oldest  organization  it  will  come  in  again  with  marked  pro- 
priety.    It  reads : 

"  Every  heat  must  be  contested  by  every  horse  in  the  race, 
and  in  no  case  will  laying  up  a  heat  he  countenanced. 

This  shall  not  be  construed  into  an  order  that  the  jockey 
must  ride  in  an  attempt  to  win  the  heat,  when  his  horse  is 
hopelessly  beaten,  or  when  so  far  behind  at  the  start,  or  at  any 
other  period  of  the  race,  that  there  is  no  chance  to  win,  but 
the  intention  of  this  is  to  do  away  with  the  pernicious  prac- 
tice of  a  premeditated  intention  to  lose  the  heat  and  take  no 
part  in  the  contest. 

The  judges  shall  decide  whether  this  mandate  has  been 
complied  with  or  not,  and  in  case  the  parties  are  found  guilty 
punish  by  fine,  suspension,  or  expulsion  the  parties  impli- 
cated." 

Until  the  section  was  incorporated  in  1S92,  which  gave  the 
juiges  the  right  to  permit  a  driver  to  lay  up  one  heat  on  his 
application  there  was  out  a  rule  in  any  trotting  code  which 
warranted  such  procedure,  and  the  only  justification  for  not 
attempting  to  win  when  there  was  a  chance,  was  a  false, 
frauduleot  and  pernicious  custom. 

If  Major  Johnstone's  visit  to  this  coast  is  barren  so  far  as 
preventing  the  establishment  of  toe  Occidental,  that  being 
virtually  accomplished  oo  the  8th  of  March,  I  siocerely  trust 
that  he  will  oot  regret  the  journey.  He  was  here  some 
twenty  years  ago,  but  the  changes  since  then  are  marvellous. 
Then  there  was  comparatively  little  attention  paid  to  breed- 
ing trotters  and  race  horses,  and  as  he  will  visit  some  of  the 
prominent  establishments  he  will  have  a  better  understanding 
of  the  position  occupied.  He  will  surely  see  enough  to  war- 
rant the  conclusion  that  the  Pacific  Coast  is  a  great  country 
in  many  respects,  and  that  it  is  not  a  vain  ambition  which 
prompts  the  desire  to  beiodpeendent.

Check  or  Bearing  Rein. — That  part  of  the  "gear"  of 
horses  which  is  called  a  check  rein  in  this  country  and  bear- 
ing rein  in  England,  has  elicited  more  criticisms  than  all  the 
other  parts  of  the  harness.  Bits  will  come  next,  and  next  to 
toe-weigbts  have  secured  the  greatest  number  of  letters  patent. 
I  am  not  sure  that  the  pedal  appendages  hive  much  the  best 
of  it,  though  many  years  ago  a  friend  informed  me  that  he 
went  over  the  Patent  Office  reports  and  found  forty-eight 
patents  granted  for  different  varieties  of  toe-weights.  And 
then  he  was  not  very  diligent  in  the  search,  so  without  being 
at  the  trouble  to  verify  by  the  records,  it  may  be  accepted  as 
near  enough  the  truth  to  place  bits  second  in  the  list.  "  Out- 
siders "  have  takeo  the  lead  in  discoursing  on  checks,  and  it 
is  safe  to  say  that  nioe-teoths  of  the  essays  are  lectures  on  the 
cruelty  of  the  practice.  Too  many  reasons  for  denunciation 
to  offset  the  charge  by  denia  s,  bat  while  acknowledging  that 
the  stricture  are  justified,  it  is  just  as  true  that  without  check 
reins  very  many  horses  would  be  unmanageable-  It  is  not 
my  intention,  however,  to  take  up  the  subject  from  an  out- 
side view-point,  or  to  amplify  oo  the  geoeral  bearing  of  the 
bearing  reiD,  the  idea  baiug  to  present  a  comparatively  new 
application  in  the  shape  of  an  improved  "  guy  rein."  By  no 
means  a  late  invention,  as  some  thirty  or  more  years  ago  a 
patent  was  issued  for  a  safety  rein  consisting  of  an  elastic 
attachment  to  the  driving  rein,  and  when  the  pull  became 
sufficient  to  stretch  the  rubber,  the  extra  force  was  directed 
a  guy  which  gave  a  double  purchase  on  the  bit.  and  at  the 
same  time  elevated  the  horse's  head  so  that  he  could  neither 
kick,  do  ruach  damage,  or  run  away.  Keavis'  Blackbird 
was  driven,  while  in  Iowa,  with  such  a  rein,  and  from  the 
bit  being  forced  into  the  angle  of  the  lips  with  so  much  force 
as  to  cause  acute  pain,  he  contracted  the  habit  of  throwing  up 
his  head  whenever  the  pull  became  so  hard  as  to  be  a 
reminder  of  the  punishment  inflicted  years  before. 

The  guy  or  overdraw,  which  is  now  in  use,  embodies  a 
part  of  the  safety  rein.  The  driving  rein  has  no  elastic  at- 
tachment and  is'fastened  to  the  driving  bit.  The  ordinary 
overcheck  terminates  in  two  rings,  adjustable  by  means  of 
buckles  to  any  desired  length.  Two  straps,  similar  to  the 
over-check  reins,  are  fastened  to  the  "  water-hook,"  these  are 
run  through  the  rings,  passed  back  through  the  terrets  and 
connected  with  the  driving  reins  by  means  of  buckles,  some 
distance  back  of  the  terrets.  It  is  evident  that  when  the 
head  of  the  horse  is  in  the  desired  position,  the  driving  and 
check-rein  must  be  equally  tense.  If  the  head  be  elevated 
above  that  point  the  pull  comes  on  the  driving  bit,  if  de- 
pressed on  the  check-bit.  If  the  reins  of  the  check-bit  ran 
directly  through  the  terrets  the  force  applied  to  the  hand- 
holds would  be  equal  on  check  or  driving-bit.  But  there  is  a 
double  purchase  on  the  check-rein  bv  using  the  rings  and 
the  reversing  of  the  check -reins,  and  when  the  horse  lowers 
his  head  below  the  point  fixed  upon,  so  that  the  driving  reins 
are  slack,  twice  the  power  of  the  driver  is  available  to  raise 
it.  It  is  also  evident  that  there  is  an  entire  relief  from  the 
check  when  the  reins  are  loose  and  this  is  no  small  advan- 
tage. 

With  an  ordinary  check  the  head  is  in  the  same  position 
as  loDg  as  it  is  attached  to  the  water-hook,  aod  eveo  with  one 
that  is  quite  slack  wheo  the  horse  is  moving  fast  will  be  rigid 
when  he  is  jogging  or  walking.  Io  order  to  place  that  in 
control  of  the  driver  while  he  sat  in  the  sulky  I  used  a  strap 
attached  to  the  water-hook  whicii  ran  through  a  riog  on  the 
check,  or  by  simply  passing  it  around  the  bight  of  the  check 
and  from  there  back  to  a  buckle  on  the  back-strap  within 
reach  of  the  driver.  This  was  somewhat  troublesome  when 
a  sulky  was  used,  with  cart  or  skeleton  wagoo  beyond  the 
control  of  the  driver  while  remaining  in  the  vehicle. 

The  improved  guy  gives  complete  control  so  long  as  the 
reins  are  in  hand,  and  horses  which  will  "fight  against" 
side-check  or  over  check  will  soon  become  reconciled  to  the 
cootrol  of  the  guy.  I  have  one  horse  who  is  more  than  an- 
noying when  not  at  speed  from  tossing  his  head  up  and  down 
and  varying  that  by  swinging  to  either  side,  almost  fractically 
at  times,  when  the  usual  rigging  was  the  order.  With  the 
guy  he  is  so  little  trouble  that  he  may  be  said  to  give  no  ao- 
noyaoce. 

It  has  rather  a  complicated  appearance  from  the  doubling 
of  the  straps  and  connection  of  them  to  the  driving  reins.but 
apart  from  that  there  is  nothing  to  condemn  it  and  much  to 


recommend  with  very  many  horses.  The  adjustment  must 
be  carefully  attended  to  and  the  precise  length  of  guy  de- 
termioed.  My  horses  take  kindly  to  the  change,  two  of  them 
so  much  more  pleasant  to  drive  with  that  sort  of  rigging,  that 
the  transformation  has  prompted  this  description. 

There  is  another  advantage.  Horses  which  pull  so  hard 
as  to  endanger  "  choking  |down,"  with  the  guy  fixed  so  short 
as  to  keep  their  head  up  that  is  obviated. 

The  increase  of  power  from  the  "  pully  purchase  "  is  poten- 
tial in  adding  that  much  to  strength  of  arm,  when  that  kind  of 
an  animal  is  the  subject,  and  if  horses  could  be  consulted  and 
their  wishes  complied  with,  checks  arbitrarily  and  rigidly 
fastened  would  obtain  few  votes  when  the  choice  lay  between 
those  and  the  improved  guy.

Commendable. — The  introduction  into  the  By-laws  of  the 
Occidental  of  a  section  which  forbids  the  substitution  of  a 
fine  for  a  seateoce  of  expulsion  inflicted  for  frauduleotly 
losing  a  race  must  meet  the  approbation  of  every  well-wisher 
of  the  sports  of  the  track.  I  should  have  been  much  grati- 
fied with  Major  Johnstone's  concurrence  io  the  estimate  of 
the  advaotages  which  will  follow  its  adoption  by  the  older 
associations,  but  the  only  part  of  our  conversation  bearing  on 
that  was  his  remark  that  it  would  not  do  to  have  fines  inure 
to  the  benefit  of  the  party  which  inflicted  them.  This  is  the 
correct  view  beyond  question,  and  one  of  the  strongest  argu- 
ments in  favor  of  the  Jaw.  Had  an  association  the  power  to 
impose  fines  for  its  special  endowment,  when  its  meeting  wis 
running  behind,  there  would  be  danger  that  offenses  which 
merited  a  capital  penalty  would  be  condoned  for  a  money 
consideration,  and  in  others  when  "  reprimand"  would  be 
ample  protection,  the  offender  mulcted  wrongfully.  Not  a 
bit  worse  for  a  member  to  have  that  power  than  the  govern- 
ing tribunal,  not  so  bad  in  very  many  cases.  When,  a  person 
has  been  expelled  for  the  commission  of  the  highest  crime 
known  in  the  trotting  code  is  reinstated  by  the  Board  of  Ap- 
peals or  Board  of  Review  upon  t*-e  payment  of  a  large  sum 
of  money,  it  is  nothiog  more  or  less  than  accepting  a  bribe  to 
defeat  the  ends  of  justice,  the  money  going  into  the  treasury. 
However  gross  the  offense,  however  anxious  the  association 
may  be  to  purge  the  sport  of  practices  which  are  the  worst 
drawback  to  its  popularity,  it  is  helpless  wheo  the  senteoce 
can  be  set  aside  by  the  power  of  coin  of  the  realm.  The  sub- 
stitution of  a  fioe  of  five  hundred  dollars  for  a  penalty  of  ex- 
pulsion is  an  incontrovertible  admission  that  the  sentence 
was  just,  otherwise  the  ban  would  have  been  removed  with- 
out a  draft  on  the  purse  of  the  culprit. 

It  may  appear  somewhat  boastful  to  claim  that  the  Occi- 
dental will  be  very  apt  to  lead  in  the  way  of  inaugurating  re- 
forms, and  set  an  example  worthy  of  the  old  associations  to 
follow,  and  yet  there  are  good  grounds  for  entertaining  that 
opinion.     These  will  be  given  in  future  papers.

Summer  Tbottisg  Meeting.— So  far  as  I  have  heard 
there  are  few  complaints  in  relation  to  the  programme  of  the 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  the  only  ones  being  the  absence  of  a  2:24 
class.  The  committee  which  arranged  the  bill  is  well  posted 
oo  the  records,  aod  I  have  full  faith  that  in  fixing  the  classi- 
fication the  interests  of  the  greater  number  was  duly  con- 
sidered. Finding  fault  with  the  figures  which  mark  eligi- 
bility is  what  may  be  called  stereotyped  criticism.  Owners 
and  trainers  are  prone  to  overlook  the  whole  field  aod  con- 
sider they  have  been  wronged  when  a  place  is  not  made  to 
fit.  Thus  a  horse  with  a  record  of  2:241  is  thought  to  be 
unjustly  dealt  with  when  there  is  neither  a  2:24  or  2:2-5  class. 
It  is  only  natural  that  they  should  desire  a  place  which  will 
let  them  in  and  keep  dreaded  competitors  out,  aod  therefore 
whea  their  fault-findiog  is  kept  within  bounds  it  must  be 
taken  with  as  much  complacency  as  can  be  mustered  by  the 
parties  criticized. 

There  are  some  grounds  for  "  kicking"  in  the  classifica- 
tion, or  at  least  that  would  appear  to  be  so  to  one  who  is  not 
fully  up  on  the  records  of  the  horses  which  are  likely  to  be 
entered.  That  is  the  gap  between  2:22  and  2:27,  and  the  ab- 
sence of  a  2-"24  or  2:25  class  a  mistake  in  the  otherwise  ad- 
mirable programme.  Without  better  information  than  I 
possess  it  cannot  be  said  with  any  degree  of  authority  whether 
the  addition  of  a  2:24  would  be  advantageous  or  not,  and  tak- 
ing it  for  granted  that  the  architects  of  the  programme  gave 
the  matter  full  attention  the  tigores  were  fixed  to  suit  a  ma- 
jority of  the  horses  on  the  coast.

Golden  Gate  Entries — Following  the  same  system  as 
the  Trotting-Horse  Breeders  in  giving  large  purses  with  small 
entrance  fees,  the  Golden  Gate  folk  have  secured  such  a  num- 
ber of  entries  io  thirteen  of  the  parses  as  will  ensure  a  great  . 
meeting.  Those  that  did  not  fill  have  been  reopened  with  a 
five  per  cent,  entrance  fee,  and  there  is  little  doubt  that  own- 
ers will  cheerfully  acquiesce  in  the  compromise,  and  then  the 
same  number  of  entries  will  be  accepted.  The  free-for-alls, 
tn>tliDg  aod  pacing,  are  not  abandoned,  and  with  horses 
enough  to  make  fair  fields,  these  will  be  given  so  that  this 
class  of  horses  can  be  kept  in  training,  as  there  is  little  haz- 
ard in  predicting  that  all  through  the  circuit  the  same  course 
will  be  pursued. 

From  all  the  indications,  there  is  now  an  assurance  that 
this  will  be  the  greatest  season  ever  known  in  the  history  of 
harness  sports.  Good  reports  from  the  East  ;  at  home,  there 
is  nothing  but  cheering  words  from  all  sections. 

As  I  write,  Thursday  afternooo,  clouds  are  gathering,  with 
that  peculiar  feathery  appearance  which  is  so  often  the  pre- 
cursor of  raio,  aod  I  have  swelling  hopes  that  ere  this  is  be- 
fore our  readers  the  ardentlv  desired  downpour  will  revivify 
the  spirits  of  the  people.  There  may  be  parts  of  the  country 
which  has  already  suffered  to  an  extent  that  cannot  be 
remedied,  but  so  far  as  the  country  ccnliguous  of  the  bay  is 
coocerned,  an  inch  or  two  during  April  will  ensure  fair  crops. 
That  being  the  fulfillment  and  there  can  be  little  (ear  of  the 
horse  interests  here,  that  is  of  the  interests  which  arede- 
pendent  on  good  racing.  After  making  due  allowance  for 
the  ex»gge»ations  of  Madame  Rumor  there  is  a  world  of 
promise  exhibited  by  the  youngsters  which  will  beso  promi- 
nent in  harness  sports.  And  older  horses  too.  A  tbree-year- 
old  which  was  only  broken  last  fall,  turned  out  and  taking  up 
a  short  time  ago,  has  shown  a  quarter  io  thirty  seconds,  and 
as  she  is  a  grandaughter  of  Anteeo  the  satisfaction  to  me  is 
increased.  That  she  prove  all  that  is  claimed,  and  that  she 
may  find  a  whole  lot  of  competitors  who  can  make  her 
"stretch  her  neck."  though,  I  must  add  with  a  wrinkle  or  two 
left,  is  my  earnest  hope. 

Jos.  Cairn  Simpson.

San  Jose  Colt  Purses. 


■I 


The  Santa  Clara  Valley  Agricultural  Society 
met  April  5th,  at  the  office  of  Paul  P.  Austin 
there  ^being  present  President  Colonel  Pliiio 
Hersey  and  Directors  William  Boots,  T.  W. 
Hobson.  J.  W.  Rea  and  R.  D.  Fox. 

Hon.  B.  D.  Murphy  was  authorized  to  ten- 
der the  use  of  the  society's  grounds  to  the 
troop  of  United  Stales  Cavalry  expected  here 
next  week,  and  also  to  General  Schoheld  for  a 
summer  encampment. 

There  being  no  further  business  the  society 
adjourned  to  meet  hereafter  in  the  Board  of 
Trade  rooms. 

The  San  Mateo  and  Santa  Clara  Valley  Ag- 
ricultural Association,  District  No.  5,  wastheu 
called  to  order,  there  being  present  Directors 
Philo  Hersey  (President),  James  T.  Rucker. 
T.  W.  Hobson  and  J.  W.  Rea. 

The  question  of  uniting  with  the  Occidental 
Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  was  brought 
up  by  reading  of  a  letter  on  I  the  subject  from 
Secretary  F.  W.  Kelley.  The  sentiment  of 
the  member*  present  seemed  to  be  in  favor  of 
uniting  with  the  association,  but  it  was  thought 
best  to  defer  action  until  receipt  of  the  consti- 
tution and  by-laws  and  rules. 

A  letter  was  received  from  Ivy  Baldwin, 
tower-diver  and  aeronaut,-  who  desires  to  give 
exhibitions  at  the  next  fair.  It  was  deemed 
too  early  to  consider  the  matter. 

It  was  on  motion  ordered  that  the  National 
Trotting  Association  be  requested  to  reinstate 
William  Henry,  suspended  by  order  of  the 
Santa  Clara  Valley  Agricultural  Society,  Oc- 
tober 18,  1886.  Since  that  date  the  owner  of 
the  horse  died,  (he  horse  has  been  rein- 
stated by  the  time  limit,  and  it  was  deemed 
injustice  to  punish  the  driver  further  for  what 
many  assert   to  have  been  the  owner's  fault. 

The  secretary  reported  entries  for  the  colt 
purses  as  follows  :

Luke  Blackburn. 


While  at  hot  Springs  recently  Phil  Dwyer 
told  Judge  Burke  an  interesting  story  about 
how  he  and  his  brother  secured  possession  of 
that  wonderful  racehorse  Luke  Blackburn. 

"  I  had  seen  his  owner,  Jim  Williams,  try- 
ing to 'place'  him;  that  is,  he  rfould  start 
two  in  a  race,  Luke  and  another,  and  try  to 
win  with  the  other.  Luke  was  such  a  rank 
colt  that  it  was  torture  to  him  to  pull  him 
back,  yet  Williams  kept  running  him  that 
way.  One  day  towards  the  fall,  at  Brighton 
Beach,  there  was  a  stake  run  there  in  which 
we  started  Quito  and  Elias  Lawrence.  It  was 
run  in  the  twilight.  One  horse  was  nearly 
left  at  the  post,  but  ran  through  the  bunch  and 
won  in  a  gallop.  It  was  Luke  Blackburn. 
That  settled  it  and  I  bought  him.  That  year 
I  sent  our  stable  to  Nashville  to  winter.  The 
Cumberland  River  overflowed,  and  we  had  to 
get  away  from  the  track  in  a  flat  boat. 

"We  took  the  horse  to  Louisville,  but  came 
back  and  ran  at  the  Nashville  Spring  meet- 
ing. Luke  Blackburn  was  not  doing  well, 
and  we  couldn't  work  him  enough.  But  he 
started  in  a  stake  at  Lexington  and,  to  my 
surprise,  ran  a  great  race  under  the  circum- 
stances. Fooso  won  the  race.  When  Black- 
turn  got  to  his  real  form  after  that  I  was  most 
anxious  to  again  meet  Fooso,  but  didn't  get  a 
chance.  I  was  satisfied  Luke  could  beat  him 
a  block.  The  late  Thomas  J.  Nichols  had  a 
colt  engaged  in  one  of  the  Fall  stakes — I 
think  it  was  the  American  Stallion  Stake. 
„  Meeting  me  one  morning  that  Fall  (after  Luke 
had  gone  through  his  three-year-old  form), 
he  said  :  'They  tell  me  you  have  got  a  great 
horse,  Mr.  Dwyer.'  'You  can  see  for  your- 
self any  morning  you  want  to  come  out  and 
see  him  work,'  was  my  answer.  'What  would 
be  good  work  for  a  three-year-old  race'/' 
*  About  2:40  for  the  mile  and  a  half.'  '  Very 
well, 'was  my  replv,  'wait  till  we  see  what 
Luke  can  do  it  in.'  McLaughlin  was  up  and 
he  must  have  weighed  about  120  pounds.  The 
colt  went  offswiuging  his  head  from  side  to 
side.  Jimmy  had  all  he  could  do  to  pull  him 
to  a  slow  pace.  He  finished  the  work  as  he 
began  it — his  head  swinging  from  side  to  side 
— in  2:37^.  Mr.  Nichols  was  convinced  then 
what  a  colt  Blackburn  was.  There  were  only 
two  starters  for  the  stake,  and  Luke  won  it 
away  off,  but  he  came  back  to  the  judges'  stand 
on  three  legs.  How  he  went  lame  I  never 
knew." 

Pjantoni,  a  California  boy  who  has  been 
riding  with  considerable  success  at  Chicago 
for  a  couple  of  years,  has  just  returned,  and 

I  will  ride  for  George  Van  Gorden,  of  San  Jose, 
The  young  fellow  was  raised  on  the  San  Sim- 
eon rancho,  of  which  Mr.  Van  Gorden  was 
superintendent  for  several  years. 

The  Glenelgs  are  certainly  great  mud 
horses.  Jamboree,  who  won  the  Tennessee 
Derby  on  the  9t'u  inst.,  is  by  Gienelg  from 
Linnet  (dam  of  Miss  Bell),  by  Virgil.  Vassal, 
the  favorite,  was  not  up  to  a  bruising  contest, 
and  was  beaten  a  head  by  Buckrene  for  the 
place. 

Barney  Schreiber  went  East  last  Sun- 
day.    He  will  return  to  California  in  the  fall.

Answers  to  this  department  most  be  accompanied 
by  the  name  and  address  of  the  sender,  not  neces- 
sarily for  publication,  but  as  prooJ  of  good  faith. 
Write  the  questions  distinctly,  on  one  side  of  the 
paper  only.  Positively  no  questions  will  be  an- 
swered by  mail  or  telegraph. 


W.  H.  S.,  Hanford. — Flease  state  in  your 
columns  whether  the  stallion  Riverside  isa 
thoroughbred  or  not,  also  if  his  dam,  Flora, 
is  a  sister  to  Raveloe,  the  record-breaker.  I 
am  told  Winters  raised  this  horse  and  sold 
him  to  Col.  Thornton  as  a  yearling.  Answer 
— Riverside  was  foaled  in  1887,  by  Nor- 
folk, dam  Flora,  by  Joe  Hooker.  Theodore 
Winters  bred  Flora  and  sold  her  to  Col.  Mc- 
Nasser,  of  Sacramento.  The  dam  of  River- 
side (Flora)  is  an  own  sister  to  Ravelo,  the 
horse  that  did  hold  the  mile  record. 


W.  C,  San  Diego,  Cal. — Please  let  me  know 
if  the  following  time  is  correct  and  where  it 
was  made,  also  against  what  horses  he  started 
and  if  he  was  in  good  companv.  Kyrle  D. 
(1S85),  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly.  He  started  in 
three  races  as  a  two-year-old  (1887)  winning  a 
mile  in  1:43,  six  furlongs  in  1:16  and  ran  sec- 
ond once.     He  was  trained  by  Appleby  ? 

Answer— The  Official  Turf  Guide  for  18S7 
says  Kyrle  D.  started  four  times  that  season, 
and  that  he  was  unplaced  three  times  and  won 
one  race — six  furlongs  in  1:17A  at  Santa  Rosa, 
Cal.,  August  25,  1887,  beating  Alma  E-,  Ed. 
McGinnis  and  Serpolette. 


The  pedigree  of  Dudley  aa  published  iu 
these  columns  three  weeks  ago,  was  erroneous. 
We  received  the  information  from  a  sub- 
scriber and  it  affords  us  pleasure  to  give  him 
the  correct  version  :  Dudley  is  by  Anteros, 
first  dam  Lilly  Laogtry,  by  Nephew  1220; 
second  dam  MissTrahern,  by  Gen.  McCleilan 
143  ;  third  dam  Belle  Mahone,  bv  Norfolk  ; 
fourth  dam  Maid  of  the  Oaks,  by  Jack  Hawk- 
ins. Lilly  Langtry  (dam  of  Dudley)  is  regis- 
tered as  above  in  Vol.  XIII  of  the  Register 
which  will  soon  appear. 

Remedy    for     Moon     Blindness    in 
Horses. 


Moon  blindness,  or  what  the  veterinarians 
call  ophthalmia,  causes  aa  much  loss  probably 
among  horse-owners  as  any|other  disease  with 
which  horses  are  affected.  When  a  horse  loses 
even  one  eye  his  sale  is  ruined,  and  when  both 
are  gone  the  animal  can  scarcely  be  given 
away,  especially  during  this  period  of  de- 
pression in  the  horse  trade. 

Dr.  R.  H.  Harrison  recently  read  a  paper 
before  the  U.  S.  Veterinary  Medical  Associa- 
tion in  which  he  told  of  his  new  treatment  for 
this  disease.  The  article  has  created  no  little 
interest  among  veterinarians.  Dr.  Harrison 
has  experimented  with  over  100  animals 
horses  and  mules,  his  experiments  extending 
over  eight  years,  and  he  says  that  eighty  per 
cent  of  the  cases  did  well,  ten  per  cent,  im- 
proved, while  only  ten  per  cent,  did  badly. 

His  method,  aside  from  preparatory  and 
after-treatment,  consists  in  a  surgical  opera- 
tion. By  means  of  absorbing  cotton  an  appli- 
cation of  a  five  per  cent,  solution  of  cocaine 
is  made  to  both  eyes,  and  the  whole  lachrymal 
sac  is  rendered  insensible.  When  the  eye  is 
rendered  insensible  to  the  touch,  the  self-re- 
taining eye  speculum  is  introduced,  and  with 
a  narrow  cataract  knife  an  incision  is  made  at 
the  lower  margin  of  the  cornea.  The  point 
of  the  knife  is  left  in  the  wound  until  a  suf- 
ficient amount  of  aqueous  humor  escapes  to 
render  the  cornea  somewhat  flattened  in  ap- 
pearance. The  other  eye  is  operated  on  in 
the  same  manner  except  that  less  humor  is  al- 
lowed to  escape. 

If  the  doctor's  discovery  is  as  valuable  as 
he  thinks,  it  will  be  bailed  with  delight  by 
horse  owners  everywhere.  Most  all  horse- 
owners  know  from  bitter  experience  some- 
thing of  the  loss  experienced  by  periodical 
blindness  in  horses.  Nine  times  out  of  ten 
the  animal  thus  affected  will  go  permanently 
blind  in  one  or  both  eyes  unless  heroic  treat- 
ment such  as  proposed  by  the  new  method  can 
prevent  it.  Of  course  such  an  operation 
would  require  the  services  of  a  skilled  veter- 
inary surgeon. 

Cliff  Porter,  who  named  and  first  dis- 
covered the  great  excellence  of  Clifford,  and 
who  now  is  the  trainer  of  the  American  Derby 
winner,  Carlsbad,  has  made  this  proposition  : 
"  I  will  engage  Carlsbad  in  a  three-cornered 
match  for  $1,000  a  corner,  with  Yo  Tambien 
and  Clifford,  the  horses  to  carry  the  assigned 
weights  for  the  Brooklyn  Handicap,  namely, 
Carlsbad,  112  pounds;  Yo  Tambien,  120; 
Clifford,  122;  the  race  to  be  run  over  the  Haw- 
thorne race  track  May  1st,  the  opening  day 
of  the  meeting  of  1894,  provided  the  day  and 
track  suit  the  owners  of  the  contesting  horses. 
Thus  will  be  determined  the  beet  of  the  three 
Western  cracks,  and  so  may  the  owners  of  the 
defeated  animals  be  saved  the  expense  of  try- 
ing for  the  Eastern  prize."  The  concession 
of  good  day  and  track  is  manifest  when  the 
"mud  lark"  qualities  of  Carlsbad  are  consid- 
ered, and  Porter  only  stipulates  the  limit  of 
one  week  from  May  1st,  which  cannot  be  pro- 
longed by  the  nearness  of  the  date  of  the 
Brooklyn   Handicap.     Mr.  Corrigan,  for  the 


Chicago  Racing  Association,  promises  added 
money  to  the  amount  of  $1,500  for  the  pro- 
posed contest,  the  distance  to  be  run  being, 
of  course,  one  and  one-quarter  miles.

Names  Claimed. 


I  claim  the  name  of  Madeline  Pollard  for

(son  of  Prompter),  dam  Pet,  by  Bazar,  thor- 
oughbred. W.  A.  Anderson.

My  mare  Nelly  Bly,  by  Alpheus,  and  dam 
of  the  two-year-old  gelding  Boneset,  2:27J,  by 
Don  Marvin,  foaled  a  handsome  bay  colt  on 
the  first  day  of  April,  1894,  by  Don  Marvin, 
which  ought  to  be  a  record-breaker.  The 
mare  is  being  bred  this  season  to  Waldstein 
12,597,  by  Director.  If  not  taken  I  wish  to 
claim  the  name  of  Don  Wilkes  for  this  colt, 
as  my  mare  is  by  a  Wilkes  horse,  and  sire  of 
colt,  Don  Marvin.  James  McCaw. 

Sacramento,  Cal.,  April  9,  1894. 

[According  to  rule  of  the  American  Regis- 
ter Association,  Mr.  Mc^aw  will  have  to  claim 
some  other  name.]

Change  of  Name. 


Sacramento.  CaL— I  am  the  sole  owner  of  the  b  c 
Sir  Norfolk,  sire  Prince  of  Norfolk,  dam  Frankie 
Devine.    I  have  changed  his  name  Ito  that  of  Eric, 
Geo.  R.  Rider. 


It  seems  almost  incredible  that  thesecretary 
of  any  prominent  ha  mess- racing  association 
should  conclude  to  bar  Directum  from  partici- 
pating in  the  free-for-all  class,  just  because 
several  drivers  have  expressed  a  belief  that  he 
will  be  a  very  hard  horse  to  beat.  With  Di- 
rectum out,  Alii  and  Pixley  certainly  look  to 
be  better  than  the  rest.  WThy  not  bar  those 
two?  Of  course,  with  the  black  stallion  out 
of  the  way,  the  drivers  of  the  2:10  horses  will 
have  one  less  competitor  to  beat  or  attempt  to 
beat,  and  that  is  just  the  reason  the  drivers  of 
that  class  of  horses  are  so  anxious  to  impress 
secretaries  with  their  belief  that  no  horse 
stands  any  show  to  beat  Directum.  It  is  the 
general  opinion,  however,  that  race  meetings 
are  not  conducted  for  the  purpose  of  giving 
any  certain  driver  or  drivers  a  chance  to  win 
easy  races  with  second-class  horses.  If  we  are 
to  have  a  free-for-all  class  at  our  big  meetings 
let  it  be  a  free-for-all  in  every  sense  of  the 
word. — Horse  World. 

J.  W.  Paine,  of  Portland,  Oregon,  has  pur- 
chased of  Charles  Kerr,  the  Bakersfield  turf- 
man, for  Mrs.  R.  £.  Bybee,  the  bay  six-year- 
old  thoroughbred  stallion  Munster,  by  imp. 
Darebin,  dam  Mariposa,  by  Monarchist;  sec- 
ond dam  Heliotrope,  by  imp.  Knight  of  St. 
George,  etc.  Munster  is  one  of  the  grandest 
individuals  we  ever  saw,  and  will  undoubtedly 
get  some  good  winners  in  bis  new  home  in 
Oregon,  for  Mrs.  Bybee  has  some  excellent 
broodmares.  The  consideration  was  private.

Pocahontas  was  a  chestnut  mare  with 
white,  foaled  in  1847,  in  Butler  County,  Ohio, 
and  got  by  Iron's  Cadmus,  son  of  Cadmus, 
son  of  American  Eclipse.  She  paced  to  a 
wagon  record  of  2:17*  in  1855,  and  her  blood 
shows  up  in  Xelson  and  other  great  trotters. 
Shanghai  Mary,  foaled  about  1848,  in  Ohio, 
was  also  a  chestnut  with  white,  and  she  will 
live  in  history  as  the  dam  of  the  great  mother 
of  trotters,  Green  Mountain  Maid.  She  had 
many  of  the  points  of  the  thoroughbred,  but 
her  blood  has  never  been  accurately  traced. 
Mr.  A.  B.  Darling,  who  is  a  great  admirer  of 
the  Pocahontas  strain,  has  entertained  the  be- 
lief for  years  that  Shanghai  Mary  was  a 
daughter  of  Iron's  Cadmus.  Her  color,  form 
and  marks,  with  her  breeding  aud  capacity, 
suggest  Pocahontas,  and  as  she  comes  from  the 
same  State  and  was  horn  about  the  same  time, 
it  is  within  the  bounds  of  reason  that  she  was 
from  the  loins  of  Cadmus.  When  facts  cannot 
be  demonstrated,  speculative  fancies  freely 
take  root. — Turf,  Field  and  Farm. 

In  regard  to  the  opening  of  Hawthorne 
May  1st  Ed  Corrigan,  in  an  interview,  said  on 
the  1st  of  April :  "  Several  papers  in  Chicago 
have,  in  passing  comments  on  our  announcrd 
opening  of  the  coming  spring  meeting  at 
Hawthorne, put  us  on  record  contrary  to  facts. 
When  we  shut  down  l?st  year,  we  announced 
that,  believing  that  Chicago  in  climate  was 
not  suited  for  winter  racing,  we  would  close 
the  gates  of  Hawthorne  until  May  of  1894. 
As  to  specifying  any  date  in  that  month,  we 
certainly  did  not,  and  we  surely  under  that  an- 
nouncement haye  a  right  to  cpen  up  on  the 
6rst  day  of  the  month  or  any  other  day  there- 
after without  violating  the  announcement  last 
season.  We  desire  no  war,  nor  do  we  seek  to 
break  faith  with  anybody.  We  have  no  rea- 
son to  change  our  mind  as  to  Chicago  being 
unsuited  for  winter  racing.  We  will  stand  on 
our  original  announcement,  however,  and  that 
announcement  we  have  lived  up  to  in  every 
particular,  all  reports  to  the  contrary  notwith- 
standing." 

The  chestnut  horse  Fillmore,  four  years 
old,  by  Palo  Alto,  out  of  Miss  Gift,  by  Gen. 
Benton,  and  she  out  of  Addie  Lee,  dam  bv 
Adair,  2:17},  will  be  in  the  slable  of  W.  H. 
Snyder  this  season,  and  there  will  be  disap- 
pointment if  he  does  not  show  up  well  in  the 
stakes.  Last  season  with  very  little  work  he 
trotted  to  a  record  of  2:21  J.  The  sons  and 
daughters  of  Palo  Alto,  so  far  as  tried,  have 
the  race  horse  qualities  of  their  sire. 

H.  R.  Hill,  ruled  off  for  life  yesterday, was 
on  the  eve  of  making  a  deal  whereby  he  was 
to  secure  the  running  qualities  of  that  good 
race  mare,  Misty  Morn,  owned  by  Mrs.  R.  E. 
Bybee,  of  Portland,  Oregon.  Tom  Haztett 
and  a  prominent  saloon-keeper-politician  of 
this  city  were  interested  with  Hill  in  the  pro- 
posed deal. 

H.  H.  Yates,  a  veteran  trotting  horse  man 
of  Chicago,  where  he  has  lived  for  fifty-seven 
years,  paid  us  a  visit  yesterday.  He  has  been 
seeing  all  the  sights  worth  seeing  in  Califor- 
nia, and  thinks  the  Midwinter  Fair  a  great 
credit  to  ths  Staie. 

H.  D.  Bkown  has  purchased  of  Ashcraft  & 
Dickey  the  good  race  horse  Pescador,  five 
years  old.  by  Gano,  dam  Armeda  Howard. 
Mr.  Brown  thinks  he  can  conquer  Pescador 
and  make  him  tractable.  The  terms  were 
private. 

Budd  Doble  will  go  from  New  York  to 
Chicago  and  San  Francisco  before  taking 
personal  charge  of  his  stable  at  Terre  Haute.

GOLDEN     GATE    FAIR     ENTRIES. 


List    of    Entries    to    the     Great    Blue   Ribbon 
Meeting. 


The  list  of  entries  to  the  Blue  Ribbon  meet:ng  of  the 
Colden  little  Fair  Association,  is  published  below,  and  shows 
belter  than  volumes  of  praise  the  interest  being  taken  in 
trotting  and  pacing  races  m  California  this  year.  A  number 
of  eveutsdid  not  have  the  required  number  of  entries  (lack- 
ing only  a  few  in  each,  however),  so  the  Board  of  Directors 
decided  to  reopen  them  offering  the  same  amounts, 
for  each  race,  at  live  per  cent  entrance  fee.  Every  horse 
owner  on  the  Ooast  should  send  in  entries  at  once,  if  they  have 
colls  or  fillies  eligible  co  these  events.  The  track  at  Oakland 
is  in  better  condition  ihis  year  lhan  it  has  ever  been,  and 
from  present  indications  the  race  meeting  to  be  given  bv  ihe 
Golden  Gale  Fair  Association,  will  surpass  all  that  have  here- 
tofore been  held  by  this  progressive  organization.

**  Xo  more  -mall  purees  for  horsemen,''  Is  the  watch-nurd  of 
Ihe  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association.  If  lhat  meets  your 
approval,  read  the  liberal  condition^  offered  in  their  advertise- 
ment of  thia  week,  aud  send  Id  your  entries. 


The  Palo    Alto  Sale. 


There  is  considerable  talk  about  a  comiDg  auction  sale 
among  all  who  love  to  ride  behind  a  good  horse  or  a  good 
team,  and  lhat  sale  is  the  one  to  be  held  at  Palo  Alto  next 
Thursday.  Every  one  who  has  ever  had  the  pleasure  of 
driving  a  stylish,  handsome,  pure-gaited  trotter  will  come  to 
this  sale,  because  opportunities  will  be  offered  for  securing  in- 
dividuals suitable  for  their  purposes  that  will  not  be  found  at 
any  auction  6ale  of  its  kind  in  California.  In  New  York, 
well-bred  geldings  that  show  breeding,  speed  and  style  bring 
splendid  prices,  but  it  is  not  expected  that  the  individuals  in 
the  consignment  oext  Thursday  will  bring  exorbitant  figures. 

The  catalogue  contains  the  names  of  many  that  will  not 
only  prove  first-class  roadsters,  but  race  horses  as  well.  These 
animals  have  never  been  worked  for  speed.  Only  sons  and 
daughters  of  the  immortal  Electioneer  received  that  benefit ; 
therefore,  with  the  excellent  breeding  on  the  sire's  side  as 
well  as  on  the  dam's  side,  and  with  the  freedom  from  ati  ail- 
ments and  blemishes,  and  having  been  cared  for  and  fed  ever 
since  they  were  foaled  in  the  best  manner  possible,  buvers 
■run  no  risk  in  securing  any  one  of  those  offered.  A  num- 
ber of  them  will  make  splendidly  matched  teams,  and  as  such 
to  a  shrjwd  buyer  they  will  brii  g  a  high  price  in  this  city. 
Who  knows  but  that  there  is  a  nunjber  of  colis  or  fillies 
as  fast  as  Answer,  2:14$,  in  the  consignment  ? 

Besides  these  grandly-looking  geldings  and  voung  mares, 
there  are  four  ■  dendidly-bred  stallions,  Alfred,  2:25  (sire  of 
Langton,  2:213),  Benefit  5327,  Alson  and  Lawrence  53S8,  and 
colts  by  Electioneer's  best  sons  out  of  mares  that  are  bred  in 
the  purple.  Owners  of  stoc1:  farms  who  desire  to  keep  up 
with  the  fashion  should  attend  this  sale  and  pick  up  a  few  of 
|  those  to  be  sold.  They  will  never  regret  making  the  pur- 
chase, for  well-bred  horses  will  bring  more  next  year  than 
they  do  to-day.  Remember  the  sale  takes  place  next  Thurs- 
day, April  26th,  at  the  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm.  Trains  leave 
Fourth  and  Townsend  streets  at  8:15  and  10:40  a.  m.  Parties 
will  purchase  tickets  for  Palo  Alto  station;  conveyances  will 
be  in  readiness  to  carry  passengers  to  the  farm.  Stock  may 
be  seen  on  and  after  next  Monday  at  the  farm.  Be  sure  and 
attend  this  sale.     This  is  the  last  notice. 


The  District  Fair. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors 
the  Sonoma  and  Marin  Agricultural  Society  was  held  at  the 
citT  hall  Saturday  afternoon,  Vice-President  Asa  Higgins  in 
the  chair  and  Directors  R.  S.  Brown,  W.  D.  Houx,  J.  B. 
Burdell  and  E.  W.  Hayden,  and  Secretary  Thomas  Maclay 
being  present,  says  the  Petaluma  Imprint 

After  the  transaction  of  business  of  minor  importance  the 
Board  received  a  delegation  consisting  of  committees  from 
several  granger  in  this  district.  The  business  of  the  delega- 
tion was  to  request  the  Board  to  hold  the  fair  later  in  the 
season.  The  request  was  made  that  our  fair  be  held  during 
the  week  following  the  Stockton  Fair,  as  at  that  time  far  bet- 
ter displays  could  be  made  by  our  farmers. 

The  delegation  was  then  officially  notified  that  it  was  now 
too  late  to  change  the  date  for  this  season,  as  the  dates  for 
the  different  circuits  had  been  all  arranged,  but  the  Agricul- 
tural Society  people  promised  that  alter  this  year  they°would 
endeavor  to  have  the  fair  held  at  a  later  period.  The  Board 
then  adjourned  until  the  first  Saturday  of  next  month. 

It  is  the  duty  of  the  horsemen  of  the  coast  to  stand  by  the 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association  since  the  association 
has  done  much  for  their  interests  by  encouraging  otiier  asso- 
ciations to  offer  more  liberal  terms.  They  must  remember 
that  the  failure  of  the  Summer  Meeting  of  this  association 
would  mean  the  future  discontinuance  of  these  large  purses 
and  liberal  conditions.  Let  them  remember  that  they  are 
working  for  themselves  in  supporting  this  association,  and 
send  in  liberal  lists  of  entries.

horses,  character  and  disposition,  old  age,  etc.     It  is  neatlv

The  skeletons  of  the  famous  stallions  Occident,  Palo  Alto

Until  a  horse  learns  to  score  steadily  he  has  a  very  slim 
chance  of  getting  money  in  this  fast  age.

K  M  S&SDBBS  has  decided  not  to  race  Little  Albert  this 
year,  as  he  has  no  hopes  of  the  little  fellow  being  able  to  stand 
up  under  tha  amount  of  work  that  would  be  necessary  to 
give  him  to  go  races.  Albert  has  been  nominated  in  the  free- 
for  all  at  San  Francisco  and  Oakland,  hut  as  Mr.  Sanders  has 
the  right  to  name  another  horse  he  will  do  so.  i  >f  course  the 
game  little  horse  might  stand  a  race  or  two  but  to  put  up 
entrance  money  and  then  nol  be  able  to  start  goes  against  the 
grain  in  these  hard  times.

The  Santa  Anita  string  is  the  first  of  the 
bi»  California  stables  to  start  East.  The 
Biklwin  horses  started  East  on  Monday  in 
charge  of  Trainer  McDaniel-  The  string  this 
year  is  Dot  as  large  as  in  former  years,  and 
appears  to  be  a  little  weak  in  the  older  divi-  J 
sion.  Lady  Bess  is  the  bright  particular  star  ( 
of  the  stable,  but  it  is  no  certainty  that  she 
will  stand  up  through  the  season.  She  was  a  J 
high-clas$  mare  last  year,  and  gave  promise  ' 
of  developing  into  another  Los  Angeles.  San- 
tiago, unless  he  regains  his  four-year-old  form,  [ 
cannot  be  expected  to  do  much.  Great  things 
are  expected  from  Key  El  Santa  Anita,  the 
American  Derby  candidate.  He  was  more 
than  a  fair  two-year-old,  but  he  will  have  to 
train  on  to  capture  the  race  that  "  Lucky"  | 
Baldwin  has  won  more  times  than  any 
other  owner  or  trainer.  The  fact  that 
Galindo  is  not  taken  East  will  be  a 
source  ef  disappointment  to  every  one 
interested  iu  seeing  California  well  represent- 
ed. Galindo  was  a  grand  race  horse  last 
year,  but  at  the  end  of  his  successful  cam- 
paign under  Dow  Williams  fears  were  enter- 
tained that  the  gray  son  of  Gano  would  not 
again  stand  training.  However,  a  season's 
rest  may  do  Galindo  a  world  of  good.  The 
following  is  the  first  complete  list  yet  pub- 
lished of  the  Santa  Anita  siring  for  1894:  San- 
tiago, Lady  Bess,  Rey  el  Saota  Anita,  Flor- 
eana  and  the  following  seven  two-year-olds: 
Bay  colt  by  Emperor  of  Norfolk — Clora  D., 
chestnut  filly  by  Emperor  of  Norfolk — Aritta, 
bay  filly  by  Emperor  of  Norfolk — Savanna, 
chestnut  filly  bv  Emperor  of  Norfolk — Paola, 
browncoltby  The  Hook — Aloha,  bay  colt  by 
Gano — Miss  Ford  and  a  chestnut  gelding  by 
Verano — Cuban  Queen.  Van  Kuren  has  been 
secured  to  ride  fortheSsnta  Anita  stable  this 
year. — Chronicle.

Hales  undoubtedly  echoes  the  sentiments 
of  many  a  good  jockey  when  he  speaks  of  the 
undeserved  abuse  to  which  riders  are  often 
subjected  wheD,  through  no  fault  of  their  own, 
they  have  been  unfortunate  enough  to  lose. 
"  Very  often,"  tie  says,  '*  coming  back  to  scale 
beaten,  I've  felt  very  sore  when  some  one  has 
thrown  a  nasty  remark  at  me — such  words  as  j 
only  men  who  have  lost  their  moDey  can  use. 
I  have  often  heard  it  said  that  I  had  won  eas- 
ily, but  had  cut  it  a  little  too  fine,  when  I  was 
actually  riding  a  beaten  horse,  on  whom  I 
dared  not  draw  the  whip.  If  your  horse  is 
beaten,  don't  let  him  know  it.  I  remember 
one  ease  in  which  I  rode  Monte  Cristo  for  Mr. 
White,  and  we  had  all  backed  him.  Uralia 
was  in  the  same  race,  a  little,  nervous  filly, 
always  of  a  quiver  with  excitement,  very  un- 
reliable, but  fast  in  her  day.  Half  way  borne 
I  caught  a  glimpse  of  her,  saw  that  she  was 


going  splendidly  and  knew  that  she  would 
take  beating ;  there  was  no  surprise  about  it ; 
but  though  I  did  my  best,  she  beat  me.  Some 
of  the  onlookers  hooted — they  were  convinced 
we  had  our  money  on  the  filly  and  had  sold 
them.  Possibly  they  think  so  still,  but  our 
wages  went  down  with  the  colt."  Of  the  use 
of  the  whip,  Hales  says:  "The  whip  loses 
many  races,  for  it  is  latal  to  draw  it  to  a 
beaten  horse  any  distance  from  home;  but 
most  horses  will  answer  the  first  two  strokes, 
when  giving  no  response  to  the  spur,  and  a 
couple  of  cuts  at  the  right  instant  may  get  a 
beaten  horse  in  front,  when  to  flog  him  would 
only  mate  defeat  more  certain." — Melbourne 
Argus.

A  singular  accident  happened  at  Apple- 
gate  &  McMeekiu's  slock  farm,  near  Lexing- 
ton, Ky.,  rece3tly,by  which  a  suckling  fillywas 
killed.  Several  mares  with  foals  were  graz- 
ing in  a  tweoty-acre  paddock  and  they  got  to 
running.  Tn  making  a  turn  a  filly  by  Fonso 
andjout  of  Reveal  ran  head  first  against  a 
post  and  was  billed  instantlv.  The  fiily  was 
twenty-eight  days  old  and  a  handsome,  prom- 
ising youngster.

DIRECT,  2:051-2. 

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Tenn.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:083,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:275,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ?

FOURTEENTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  APRIL  20. 

.HERE  was  a  small-sized  inning 
granted  the  talent  by  the  gods  to- 
day, and,  by  the  way,  a  much-needed 
one.  In  short,  two  full-fledged  fa- 
vorites and  a  strong  second  choice 
captured  first  money,  and  that  was 
surely  encouraging  to  form-players. 
Maybe  three  favorites  will  win  to- 
morrow, and  by  next  Tuesday  there 
may  be  a  regular  form-player's 
feast,  with  four  favorite?  flying  past 
the  judges'  stand  in  front  at  the  finish.  The  attendance  to- 
day was  good,  but  the  weather  was  cold  enough  to  drive  one 
to  drink.  There  were  two  close  finishes,  and  the  racing  was 
interesting  enough  throughout.  The  feature  of  the  day's 
sport  was  the  easy  win  of  Rube  Burrows,  a  10-to-l  shot,  who 
came  from  the  rear  and  won  in  commanding  style,  and  the 
return  of  Agitato  to  something  like  his  two-year-old  form. 

Orizaba,  the  favorite,  got  away  last  in  the  first  race,  ran 
around  his  field  going  from  the  half  to  the  three  quarter  pole 
and  won  under  a  pull  by  a  neck  from  King  Sam,  who  was  a 
length  from  May  Day. 

Model  is  certainly  a  grand  filly.  Getting  away  none  too 
well  in  the  second  race,  she  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a 
neck,  and  won  in  a  big  gallop,  hard  held,  by  one  and  a  half 
lengths,  Laurel  whipped  out,  second,  two  lengths  from  the  25- 
to-1  shot,  Tobey.     Arno,  a  much-fancied  colt,  ran  fifth. 

Motto  led  to  the  homestretch  in  the  six  furlong  race,  third 
on  the  programme,  with  North  second.  Rube  Burrows  came 
from  eighth  place  and  wou  with  ease  by  two  lengths  from 
that  much-improved  mare,  Melanita,  who  was  seventh  at  the 
head  of  the  homestretch.  Catch  'Em,  the  favorite,  got  away 
ninth,  ran  up  third  at  the  three-quarters  and  first  for  a  mo- 
ment in  the  homestretch,  then  failed  to  finish  one-two-tbree- 
four. 

The  seven  furlong  handicap  for  three-year-olds  was  a  good 
one,  the  winner  turning  ud  unexpectedly  in  the  12-to-l  shot, 
Agitato,  who  has  been  running  q  uite  poorly  of  late,  and  got 
into  the  race  with  95  pounds.  He  struck  the  homestretch 
fifth  and  ran  to  the  front  like  a  shot.  De  Bracey  gave  him 
battle  the  last  sixteeeth  of  a  mile,  but  Chevalier  made  a 
grand  stand  finish,  shooting  Agitato  in  a  winner  by  a  nose  in 
the  laststride.  Gilead  was  third,  two  lengths  away.  Articus 
the  favorite,  looked  dangerous  at  the  final  turn,  and  ran  up 
fourth,  but  he  died  away  badly  at  the  end. 

Romair  easily  won  the  last  race  from  St.  Croix,  who  was 
backed  into  favoritism.

Day,  Corncob  and  Rosalie  were  necks  apart  as  named  at  the

from  home  Orizaba  began  going  through  his  field,  and  had 
beaded  everything  hut  May  Day,  who  was  leading  him  a 
neck.  A  furlong  from  home  the  favorite  bad  charge  of  af- 
fairs, leading  May  Day  half  a  length,  King  Sam  third,  as  far 
away  and  coming  fast.  With  a  little  urging  Orizaba  drew 
away,  and  under  a  pull  won  by  a  neck  from  King  Sam,

half  Faro  was  the  leader,  half  a  length  in  front  of  Gussie,  Ar-

was  last  of  all.  He  gradually  improved  his  position,  being 
sixth  at  the  three-quarters  and  fourth  in  the  homestretch, 
behind  Faro,  Gussie  and  De  Bracey,  who  were  running  half 
lengths  aoart.  Agitato  was  fifth,  at  the  heels  of  his  rival  last

mowing  down  the  daylight  that  separated  him  from  the  lead-

FIFTEENTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  APRIL  21. 

A  good  Saturday  crowd  saw  some  unsatisfactory  racing  to- 
day— unsatisfactory  because  it  was  considered  that  the  best 
horse  did  not  win  in  one  or  two  instances.  Just  why  Kath- 
leen, conceding  twelve  pounds'  weight  to  Nellie 
Van,  should  be  backed  down  into  favoritism  is  not 
apparent  to  most  people,  but  she  was.  However,  dying 
away  fast,  she  won  the  first  race  by  a  couple  of  lengths  from 
Nellie  Van,  this  after  one  of  the  poorest  starts  that  had  been 
made  in  several  days,  the  winner  being  the  gainer  by  it, 
though  not  quite  so  much  as  the  skyrocket,  Shamrock. 

Tim  Murphy  won  the  second  race  because  he  is  a  great 
sprinter.  Getting  away  fifth  in  regular  Chinese  fashion, 
perhaps  five  lengths  or  more  separating  the  leading  horse 
and  Murphy,  the  latter  was  first  into  the  homestretch  by  a 
small  margin,  and  won  handily  at  the  close  from  "  the  good 
thing,"  Lonnie  B.  Imp.  Trentola  was  a  fair  third.  The 
race  was  timed  in  1:14  j  for  the  full  three-quarters,  but  from 
where  Tim  Murphy  got  away  he  must  have  run  the  distance 
in  1:14  or  better. 

The  Pacific  Derby  proved  to  bean  easy  thing  for  Thorn- 
hill,  who  indulged  Pricelle  with  the  lead  for  nearly  a  mile, 
and  then  won  galloping  by  four  lengths,  Pricelle  even  beating 
the  second  choice,  Carmel,  out  of  the  place.  Tliornbill  could 
have  rnn  several  seconds  faster  had  he  been  forced  out. 

Sir  Reel  won  the  mile  and  an  eighth  handicap  in  slow 
time  quite  handily,  Hotspur  finishing  second  and  Gilead 
third.  Candid  was  interfered  with  between  the  three-eighths 
and  half-poles,  falling  back  last,  and  then  came  again,  look- 
ing dangerous,  but  Sir  Reel  turned  close  against  the  rails,  and 
was  a  handy  winner  at  the  end,  with  old  Hotspur  second,  one 
and  one-half  lengths  away. 

Nicodemus,  new  to  the  steeplechase  business,  and  with  a 
rider  that  came  within  an  ace  of  falliog  oft'  a  couple  of  times, 
won  the  steeplechase  from  Longwell,  the  favorite,  in  a  hard 
drive  by  a  neck. 

The  Joe  Hooker-Clara   L.   colt,   oft'  Hying,  won  the  last 
race  by  three  lenglhs  quite  easily,  but  whether  he  could  have 
beaten  Miss  Buckley  and  Sympathetic^  Last  with   an  even 
break  is  problematical,  for  the  time  was  very  poor.

Kathleen  closed  a  warm  favorite  at  2A,  being  strongly

Van  fourth,  at  his  heels.  Shamrock  led  at  the  half-pole  by 
four  lengths,  Kathleen  second,  about  four  lengths  from  Nellie 
Van.  Shamrock  quit  as  they  neared  the  final  turn,  and  Kath- 
leen led  into  ibe  homestretch  by  lice  lengths,  Shamrock  sec- 
ond, about  a  length  from  Nellie  Van.  Though  dying  away, 
Kathleen  lasted  long  enough  to  win  by  two  lengths  from 
Nellie  Van,  who  beat  Shamrock  a  neck  for  place  in  the  last 
couple  of  strides.     Time,  1:03—  slow.

at  whose  heels  came  Tim  Murphy.  The  latter  went  after  the 
leaders  like  a  bulldog,  and  such  a  wonderful  run  did  the  old 
roan  gelding  make  that  at  the  three-quarter  pole  he  had  his 
head  in  front  of  Leveller's,  Trentola  a  length  further  away

phy came  on  the  outside,  Lonnie  B.  coming  fast  the  last  part

with  a  will,  and  he  responded  so  well  that  at  the  finish  he 
was  a  handy  winner  by  over  a  length,  Lonnie  B.  second,  a

Thornhill  was  at  all  times  an  almost  prohibitive  favorite, 
closing  at  2  to  9.  For  a  moment  2  too  could  be  obtained. 
Pricelle  opened  at  15  and  2i,  and  closed  at  Sand  9  to  5.  Car- 
mel was  at  5  and  2  too  most  of  the  time.  To  a  good  start 
Pricelle  at  once  w€Ot  out  to  set  the  pace.  At  the  stand  Pri- 
celle was  running  prettily  along  the  lead,  with  Carmel,  under 
a  pull,  at  his  hee  s,  Tbornhil!  about  half  a  length  behind  the 
Don  colt,  Miller  having  a  double  wrap  on  him.  At  the 
quarter-pole,  sis  furlongs  having  been  traversed,  Pricelle 
was  one  and  a  half  lengths  to  the  good,  Thornhill  having  run 
up  second,  half  a  length  from  Carmel.  As  they  neared  the 
half-pole  Miller  let  out  one  of  his  wraps  on  Thornhill,  and 
the  white-nosed  son  of  Cheviot  shot  into  the  lead.  Pricelle 
was  game,  however,  and  held  on  to  the  best  of  his  ability.  It 
was  soon  apparent  that  Carmel  was  in  distress,  for  Hill  set  to 
work  on  him,  and  he  could  not  make  up  the  gap,  as  was  ex- 
pected. Thornhill  simply  galloped  the  rest  of  the  wav  home, 
winning  under  a  strong  pull  by  four  lengths  from  Pricelle,  on 
whom  Clancy  quit  riding  the  last  325  yards.  Carmel  was 
last,  three  lengths  behind  the  Cyrus  colt.  The  time  was  2:41, 
which  Thornhill  could  have  beaten  several  seconds  had  he 
been  forced  to  do  so-

Imp.  Candid  was  the  favorite,  opening  at  11  to  5,  closing  at 
2tol.  Sir  Reel  was  at  .'1  to  1,  Hotspur  4,  By  Dy  r,,  Gilead 
7and  Royal  Flash  8  to  1.  To  a  good  start  lly  l>v,  Royal 
Kltitihand  HoUpur  were  first  away,  Sir  Keel  trailing.  At  the 
a  Darter*  pole  Boyal  Flush  was  three  parts  of  a  length  in 
front  of  Hot-pur,  and  under  a  pull,  Candid  lapped  on  the  old

was  fourth,  and  looking  dangerous.  Sir  Keel  came  away 
easily  at  the  end, and.  won  by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Hot- 
spur second,  a  length  from  Gilead,  Royal  Flush  fell  back 
last.     Time,  l:56f  —  a  trifle  slow  forsuch  horses.

Longwell  opened  at  even  money,  closed  at  7  to  10.  Hercules 
and  Prince  Idle  were  at  3j  to  1  each,  Nicodemus  10  (20  to  1 
at  one  time),  J.  M.  B.  40  to  1.  Hercules  led  over  the  first 
jump,  Prince  Idle  second.  The  latter  took  a  slight  lead  at 
the  far  center-field  obstacle,  and  continued  on  in  front  over 
the  next  jump,  down  and  up  the  hill  and  nearly  to  the 
.vater.  Here  Nicodemus  took  command,  with  Hercules  sec- 
oud.  Allmark  cut  Longwell  loose  at  the  next  turn,  and  he 
overhauled  those  in  front  at  a  good  rate.  For  the  second 
time  (at  the  far  center-Geld  jump)  Gentry  nearly  went  over 
Nicodemus'  head,  but  stuck  on  gamely.  Longwell  was  not 
over  two  lengths  behind  Nicodemus  into  the  regular  track, 
and  shouts  went  up  for  Nick  Hall's  gelding.  Over  the  b>st 
jump  the  pair  went  about  half  a  length  apart,  Nicodemus 
striking  the  top  of  the  obstacle  with  hind  feel.  There  was  a 
great  race  from  here  home,  and  to  the  surprise  of  nearly 
every  one  Nicodemus  outlasted  Longwell  and  won  in  a  hard

SIXTEENTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  APRIL  24. 

Form-players  were  rolling  in  thesweetest  of  financial  clover 
to-day.  Four  favorites  and  a  strong  second  choice  caught  the 
judges'  eyes  first  to-day,  the  horses  running  right  up  to  "form" 
in  every  case.  The  track  was  fast,  the  attendance  fair  for 
an  "  off  o* ay,"  and  excellent  time  was  made  in  four  of  the  five 
events.  The  features  of  the  day's  sport  were  the  fine  victor- 
ies of  Model,  Artist,  Rube  Burrows  and  Fly  and  the  clever 
work  in  the  saddle  of  L.  Lloyd  and  Chevalier,  each  of  whom 
rode  two  winners.     Wash.  King  rode  the  remaining  victor. 

Model  won  the  first  race  in  a  btoomin'  gallop  in  the  good 
time  of0:49J.  Gasser  was  first  away  and  led  the  way  by  a 
neck  into  the  homestretch.  Here  Model  outran  the  Joker 
colt  with  ease,  and  won  by  one  and  one-half  lengths  from 
Gasser,  who  beat  the  Darebin — Miss  Clay  filly  about  as  far. 
The  latter,  a  slashing  big  dark  bay  filly,  a  grand-looker, 
made  her  debut  in  this  race,  and  showed  that  she  is  about  as 
good  as  she  looks,  which  is  saying  a  great  deal. 

May  Day  easily  took  the  second  race  into  camp,  winning 
under  a  pull  by  two  lengths  from  Mendocino,  who  came 
with  a  rush  the  last  part  of  it  and  in  a  hard  drive  beat  Chu- 
la  a  neck  for  the  place.  A  short  head  behind  Chula  came 
KingSsm.     It  was  a  pretty  finish. 

Artist  did  not  tire  as  badly  to-day  as  he  has  in  the  longer 
races  lately.  He  was  in  with  94  pounds  up,  and  ran  the  dis- 
tance in  1:42|,  beating  Melanita  nearly  two  lengths.  The 
Lark  finished  last. 

Rube  Burrows  is  a  mighty  good  horse  just  about  now.  He 
ran  third  to  the  one-eyed  colt,  Nelson,  and  Border  Lassie  un- 
til the  homestretch  was  entered,  and  won  fairly  flying  by 
three  lengths  from  Border  Lassie,  who  was  nearly  a  length 
from  Nelson,  the  latter  fast  dying  away  and  but  a  head  in 
front  of  Queen  of  Scots.  The  full  three-quarters  were  run  in 
1:14?. 

Fly  led  nearly  all  the  way  in  the  last  event,  five  and  a  half 
furlongs,  for  three-year-olds,  Chemuck  finishing  second  one 
and  a  half  lengths  behind  and  two  lengths  in  front  of  Trix. 
The  time,  1:0SA,  was  ex  eel  leu  t. 

Frank  Cusack,  the  Examiner's  raciog  reporter,  was  ruled 
off  for  life  this  afternoon  because  he  refused  to  divulge  the 
names  of  parties  that  told  him  a  certain  bookmaker  was  cred- 
ited with  betting  the  money  for  a  combination  alleged  to  be 
"on  the  inside."  Mr.  Cusack  says  President  Williams  asked 
if  he  (Cusack)  wrote  the  offensive  article,  and  lie  said  he  did 
When  asked  where  he  got  his  information,  Cusack  replied 
that  it  was  rumored  around  Saturday,  but  that  he  did  not 
have  enough  real  evidence  to  verify  the  report,  or  he  would 
have  printed  names;  he  declared,  however,  that  the  ru- 
mor came  from  reliable  persons.  I'pon  again  refusing  to  di- 
vulge the  names  of  the  parlies  circulating  the  story,  Cusack 
was  told  that  he  was  ruled  off.

A  Biblical  Conundrum. 


A  good  story  is  told  of  the  horsey  son  of  an  English  clergy- 
man. He  was  on  an  important  occasion  to  meet  the  bishop 
of  Lincoln  at  dinner,  and  as  it  was  desirable  that  a  favorable 
impression  should  be  made  on  his  lordship  his  father  begged 
he  would  he  favorable  to  the  bishop  and  do  his  best  to  draw 
him  out,  as  he  was  unusually  strong  in  Biblical  lore.  During 
the  early  part  of  the  banquet  matters  went  on  well  enough, 
the  young  man  saying  little,  bot  watching  for  an  opportunity 
to  open  Ins  full  batteries.  At  length  a  pause  in  the  general 
conversation  took  place,  and  while  the  company  was  all  at- 
tention he  thus  addressed  the  bishop  : 

"Might  I  venture  to  ask  your  lordship  a  question  relative 
to  a  point  mentioned  in  the  Old  Testauieut  which  has  puzzled 
uie  a  good  deal  ?" 

"On,  certainly — quite  happy,''  replied  the  dignitary, feeling 
quite  in  his  element. 

"  Then  1  should  be  glad  to  have  your  lordship's  opinion  as 
to  how  long  it  took  Nebuchadnezzar  to  get  into  condition 
after  he  had  been  out  to  grass?" — Boston  Herald.

Notes    From   the   North. 


With  theopening  of  spring  weather,  the  owners  of  blooded 
stock  in  Taconia  are  pulliog  themselves  together  for  a  season  | 
of  that  brilliant  activity  which,  for  several  seasons  up  to  two  I 
years  ago,  made  this  city  the  headquarters  for  horse  matters 
on  Puget  sound. 

If  the  Inter-State  Fair  proposition  is  accepted  by  the  peo- 
ple, it  will  bring  a  meet  to  this  city  sometime  during  Septem- 
ber, which  will  be  long  remembered.  Tacoma  bas  more  good 
horses  than  all  the  other  cities  on  Puget  Sound  put  together. 
Following  is  a  partial  list  of  the  noteworthy  ones. 

Dr.  J.  T.  Lee  now  owns  the  bay  stallion  Lenmar,  2:16}, 
and  it  is  his  intention  to  prepare  the  horse  for  the  season's 
campaign  in  the  free-for-all  class.  Just  who  will  handle  him 
has  not  yet  been  determined. 

Mr.  Quiuo,  of  the  Cascade  Oat  Meal  Company,  has  brought 
on  a  bay  stallion,  three  years  old,  sired  by  Pbalmont,  son  of 
Phallis.  This  fellow  will  be  worked  during  the  season,  and 
judging  from  his  clever  way  of  going,  ought  to  be  a  favorite 
in  some  of  the  slow  classes  before  the  campaign  closes. 

Manager  Rust  of  the  Tacoma  smelter  is  one  of  the  bright- 
ests  lights  among  the  owners  here;  he  always  has  a  good  pair 
to  drive  on  the  road,  and  this  season  he  bas  several  young- 
sters that  will  receive  their  first  drilling  for  speed.  One  is  a 
brown  stallion,  four  years  of  age,  sired  by  Bismarck.  He 
will  be  prepared  for  the  fall  races.  Two  more  are  a  yearling 
and  a  two-year-old,  sired  by  Superior,  2:171,  the  champion

A.  E.  Cromwell  is  the  proud  owner  of  a  bay  filly  recently 
purchased  of  Dr.  Harris  of  Eugene,  Or.  Her  sire  is  McKen- 
zie,  sou  of  Antevolo,  first  dam  by  Rockwood,  second  dam  by 
Bellfounder  62,  third  dam  by  son  of  Bellfounder  62.  She  is 
a  likely-looking  animal,  and  when  once  started  on  the  way 
will  be  a  credit  to  her  owner  and  trainer. 

J.  E.  Brockaway,  of  Bishop  Hero  fame,  cannot  get  along 
without  his  trotter'  Since  his  disposal  of  the  roan  gelding 
last  season  he  has  been  pining  for  something  to  fill  the  vacant 
slall.  A  few  weeks  ago  he  discovered  a  three-year-old  by 
Panama,  son  of  Jay  Gould,  dam  the  dam  of  Panama  Maid,  3, 
2:29  V,  possessing  a  rare  turn  of  speed  at  the  sidewheel  gait. 

W.J*\  Ryder  owns  two  speedy  mares  in  Red  Girl,  by  The 
Marquis,  son  of  Edward  Everett,  she  being  the  dam  of  Pana- 
ma Maid,  2:29£,  as  a  three-year-old.  She  is  now  safe  in  foal 
to  Evorg,  a  grandson  of  Altamont.  The  other  is  Innocencia, 
by  Bayonne  Prince,  dam  by  Blue  Bull.  This  is  a  speedy 
pacer,  and  with  a  season's  track  work  would  be  hard  to  catch 
in  the  side-wheel  brigades. 

Dr.  Wintermute  has  just  had  returned  from  Mr.  Jay  Beach 
of  Vancouver,  Wo.,  his  broodmare  Lucy  Golddust,  and  pro- 
nounced safe  in  foal  to  Altamont.  While  she  has  no  public 
record,  she  has  shown  many  fast  miles,  and  from  such  a  union 
ought  to  produce  a  race  horse.  The  doctor  also  has  several 
young  ones  by  Billy  Wagner,  grandson  of  George  Wilkes, 
and  by  Yendis,  son  of  Sidney,  that  will  interest  a  few  oppon- 
ents during  the  coming  seasod. 

John  Fuller  has  quite  a  number  of  mares  at  his  ranch  be- 
ing bred  to  a  son  of  Ashland  Almont,  and  by  another  season 
he  will  have  a  few  to  place  in  the  trainer's  hands. 

A.  C.Harrison  uses  his  four-year-old  horse,  Soudan  Pat- 
chen,  on  the  road,  and  although  only  a  colt,  Mr.  Harrison 
thinks  him  about  the  kindest  family  animal  he  ever  pos- 
sessed. With  his  level  disposition  he  ought  to  show  the  way, 
if  ever  given  an  opportunity  of  being  developed.  He  is  by 
Soudan,  record,  2:27^,  dam  bv  Geo.  M.  Patcheo,  Jr. 

I.  W.  Anderson  has  recently  had  taken  up  from  his  ranch, 
where  all  his  horses  have  been  for  the  winter,  the  two  per- 
formers, Lady  Mac,  2:23},  and  Tyee,  2:38}.  These  two,  as 
well  as  a  number  of  two-year-olds,  will  be  before  the  public 
in  '94. 

C.  W.  Brega  is  the  owner  of  Happy  West,  by  Col.  West, 
dam  the  dam  of  Creepy,  2:32. 

The  race  mare  Mollie  K.,  2:29},  owned  by  Silly  Bros  ,  has 
not  been  used  by  them  during  the  past  winter,  having  been 
bred  to  Evorg.  She  is  safe  in  foal,  and,  barring  accident, 
it  is  a  sure  thing  the  new  animal  will  be  afflicted  somewhat 
with  speed. 

The  well-matched  pair  owned  by  Colin  Mcintosh  are  now 
quartered  at  the  Huggins  ranch,  at  which  place  they  will 
remain  until  after  foaling,  they,  too,  being  in  foal  to  Evorg. 
Terry  Chambers  has  the  black  stallion  Evorg,  sired  by 
Alveta,  son  of  Altamont,  first  dam  by  Almont  Rattler,  second 
dam  by  Mambrino  Patcben.  Owing  to  an  accident  in  bis 
three-year-old  form  he  has  no  record  on  the  turf,  but  he  is  a 
genuine,  level-headed  trotter,  with  a  high  rate  of  speed,  and 
from  the  two  crops  of  colts  sired  by  him,  it  is  only  a  question 
of  development  that  he  will  be  represented  in  the  2:30  class. 
Mr.  Chambers  also  has  a  two-year-old  by  Altamont,  dam  by 
Henry  Middleton,  2-.26|.  For  form  and  substance  ibis  colt 
ranks  with  the  average  speeder,  and  to  say  that  he  is  well 
thought  of  by  all  who  see  him  only  very  mildly  expresses  their 
opinions.  The  most  likely  youngster  in  the  Sound  country 
is  a  yearling  by  Evorg,  first  dam  by  Alwood,  sire  of  Joe  Kin- 
ney, 2:24,  second  dam  by  Bellfounaer  62.  Mr.  Chambers 
takes  much  delight  in  showing  this  youngster,  and  while  he 
is  only  broken  to  lead  he  can  show  a  clip  that  surprises  tlie 
natives  in  this  precinct.  Another  is  Martha  Washington, 
2:36^,  due  to  foal  soon  by  Evorg.  She  is  a  speedy  little  mare 
and  much  faster  than  her  mark. 

Frank  Haller  h3s  recently  purchased  of  J.  E.  Calder,  of 
Montesano,  a  bay  filly  eight  months  old,  sired  by  Evorg,  dam 
by  Henry  Middleton,  2:26|,  and  for  a  little  missshe  can  cer- 
tainly make  a  trotter  right  now.  Mr.  Haller  will  give  her 
another  year  of  freedom  before  he  causes  her  to  begin  life's 
buidens. 

Isaac  Chilberg,  the  restaurant  proprietor,  has  a  weanling 
filly  sired  by  Favorite,  son  of  Favorite  Wilkes.  It  is  safe  to 
predict  she  will  not  want  for  any  attention  to  develop  her. 

C.  A.  A.  Naubert,  the  present  manager  ot  Stonyoak  Farm, 
has  about  fifty  head  all  told,  mostly  yearlings  and  two-year- 
olds.  At  the  head  of  the  stud  is  Ivaohoe,  grandson  ofHa^py 
Medium, dam  thedam  of  two.  When  this  horse  does  not 
sire  a  trotter,  it  will  make  a  first-class  stylish  road  horse  and 
Boon  Mr.  Naubert  will  have  a  number  from  good  dams  to 
test  with  a  little  preparation.  The  greater  number  of  road 
horses  are  out  for  winter  yet,  but  before  many  weeks  pass, 
many  will  be  brought  in  and  shaped  up. 

Among  the  many  who  take  much  pleasure  behind  a  road- 
ster during  the  pleasant  part  of  the  year,  are  Marshall  K. 
Snell,  with  his  gelding,  and  Harry  Glen,  who  usually  moves 
up  in  the  lead  whenever  anv  argument  confronts  him.  Nel- 
son Bennett  has  a  clever  pair  in  the  bay  geldings,  by  Joe 
Bassett,  and  when  it  comes  to  speed  they  can  move  away  from 
anything  on  the  road. 


County  Treasurer  Fairchild  has  a  first-class  roadhorse  in 
County  Boy,  2:37$,  and  Mr.  Reeve  has  in  Joe  Kinney,  2:26, 
something  that  causes  the  cold  chills  to  run  down  most  of  the 
boys'  spinal  columns  when  the  debate  is  over. 

George  W.  Davis,  the  lawyer,  drives  on  the  road  the  black 
gelding,  Black  Prince,  a  horse  with  a  high  rate  of  speed,  but 
one  O'Smiley  pronounced  as  possessing  too  much  metal  for  a 
race  horse.  Another  stylish  roadster  is  the  bay  mare  belong- 
ing to  J.  S.  Baker.  She  is  by  Red  Fox,  a  horse  of  thorough- 
bred breeding. 

Chester  Thome  rarely  brings  up  the  rear  with  Joe  M., 
2:29},  and  mate.  They  are  without  exception  the  best  pole 
team  in  this  district,  and  Mr.  Thome  being  a  capable  reins- 
man  does  not  hesitate  to  let  them  out  a  notch  or  two  occa- 
sionally. 

Mr.  Cherry  owns  a  chestnut  gelding  by  Lamoot,  sire  of 
Blondine,  2:15,  Lady  Mac,  2:23*,  etc.,  that  entertains  most 
any  of  the  road  brigade  when  given  his  head.  Dr.  McCone, 
with  Ben  Hur,  has  more  contests  with  the  speedy  ones  than 
any  other  roadster  out.  Ben  is  one  of  the  kind  that  fools  most 
of  the  likely  looking  ones,  much  to  the  amusement  of  the 
doctor.  Another  of  a  turn  of  speed  is  the  bav  geldiog  Comet, 
2:28£,  owned  by  Dr.  Cassells,  V.  S.  Only  a  few  suspected 
this  horse  of  the  speed  he  is  capable  of  showing,  although 
the  doctor  sometimes  engages  in  a  brush. 

A  turnout  that  catches  the  eye  of  the  passers-by  is  that  of 
G.  G.  Chandler,  of  the  Northern  Pacific.  He  usually  has  a 
cheerful  roadster,  aod  about  the  neatest  appearing  outfit  to 
be  seen. 

Byron  Young  can  entertain  any  of  the  boys  with  his  bay 
gelding,  Hustler,  by  a  son  of  Sultan.  She  can  pull  a  wagon 
around  all  the  would-be  trotters — and  smile  as  she  passes  by. 
Little  Fred,  a  bay  gelding  of  the  side-wheel  gair,  is  a  tough 
customer  for  a  good  many  to  handle.  He  usually  gets  off  so 
far  in  the  start  that  his  opponent's  heart  goes  up  in  despair. 
Mr.  Parker,  of  the  Pacific  Match  company,  has  recently 
brought  to  Tacoma  the  black  gelding  Butcher  Boy,  2:32. —

A    Turf   Character. 


How  Drivers  Are  Censured. 


It  is  truly  amusing  to  note  the  degree  of  ignorance  of  things 
pertaining  to  racing  now  existing  in  a  very  large  portion  of 
the  more  intelligent  element  in  the  community,  and  which  is 
not  altogether  confined  to  those  who  seldom  or  never  attend 
the  race  meetings.  One  class  of  people  have  an  idea  that, 
coupled  with  racing  and  attached  to  every  horse,  must  be  a 
faro  bank  or  a  three  card  monte  deck,  and  another  class  have 
a  deep-set  conviction  that  no  race  is  run  or  trotted  in  which 
there  is  not  a  job,  excepting  in  the  case  of  those  certain  races 
on  which  they  chance  to  hold  winning  pools.  And  these 
beliefs  are  intensified  by  the  fact  that  those  who  are  supposed 
to  know  frequently  give  misleading  "  tips."  The  latter  over- 
look the  fact  that  usually  only  such  horses  compete  for  purses 
whose  owners  think  they  have  a  chance  of  winning  them. 
That  it  is  the  uncertainty  of  the  thing  that  makes  it  interest- 
ing and  exciting;  that  in  the  midst  of  a  race  some  horse  may 
show  unexpected  racing  qualities  or  another  may  prove  to  be 
out  of  condition,  soured  in  disposition,  or,  maybe,  does  not 
stand  the  crucial  test,  when  applied  to  speed,  which  enables 
a  horse  to  be  rated  as  a  race  horse.  While  speed  is  an  essen- 
tial^ prerequisite  to  a  successful  race  horse,  still  there  are 
many  ether  elements  which  must  enter  into  the  matter  favor- 
ably in  order  to  secure  the  desired  result,  all  of  which  it  is 
impossible  to  foresee.  Old  campaigners  are  so  well  koown 
that  trainers  and  owners  have  no  advantage  over  the  general 
public  as  to  their  chances  for  winning,  excepting  as  they 
may  be  better  posted  as  to  the  present  condition  of  their 
horses,  and,  in  the  case  of  green  horses,  they  can  at  best  only 
guess  as  to  how  their  horses  will  conduct  themselves  in  a  race. 
Very  frequently  when  they  expect  the  most  they  get  the 
least,  and  usually  the  owners  of  green  horses  know  no  more 
about  them  than  the  public,  for  the  same  thorough  trial  or 
test  which  would  inform  them  as  to  their  capabilities  would 
be  given  away  by  one  of  the  many  stop  watches  which  are 
constantly  guarding  their  movements.  It  is  singular  how  a 
very  slight  circumstance  will  somelimes  veer  a  race  favorable 
to  one  horse  or  against  another;  how,  when  a  horse  is  well 
on  his  stride  and  is  working  on  his  courage  aod  everything 
looks  as  if  he  could  not  possibly  lose  the  race,  some  other 
horse  will  get  io  his  way  or  something  unforseen  will  occur 
v.  hich  will  confuse  or  unduly  excite  him,  thus  rendering  him 
of  no  account  for  the  rest  of  the  race.  The  novice  does  not 
take  all  this  into  account.  He  starts  in  with  the  belief  that 
a  certain  horse  ought  to  win,  and  if  he  guesses  correctly  he 
hilariously  pockets  his  winnings  and  never  stops  to  think  how 
a  thousand  things  might  have  happened  to  make  it  other- 
wise. In  other  words,  he  credits  bis  good  luck 
as  good  judgment.  But  the  other  fellow  who  is  not  so  fortu- 
nate, immediately  vents  his  wrath  and  disappointment  by 
charging  his  loss  tothe  most  convenient  thing  connected  with 
it,  which,  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten,  is  jobbery,  and  since  this 
seems  to  sooth  his  wounded  feelings  and  no  one  cares  to  go  to 
the  trouble  of  disproving  his  assertions,  henceforth  to  his 
listeners  aod  friends  that  race  is  branded  as  a  job.  My  ex- 
perience has  been  that  I  have  won  many  races  when  I 
thought  I  had  no  show  of  winning,  and  lost  many  when  I  felt 
certain  I  would  win,  and  during  my  first  experiences  I  charged 
up  in  my  mind  all  such  events  to  the  dishonesty  of  the  driv- 
ers. But  experience  has  proven  to  me  that  most  drivers  take 
a  pride  in  their  calling,  and  therefore  it  is  safe  to  assume  that 
they  would  rather  win  than  lose,  and  unless  there  is  some- 
thing so  radically  wrong  that  an  expert  can  easily  delect  it 
they  win  when  they  can.  While  skill  is  essential  to  a  reins- 
man,  reliability,  when  entrusted  with  responsible  positions, 
is  another,  and  the  backbiters  are  so  numerous,  when  there  is 
any  trickery  to  deceive  the  owners,  that  drivers  rarely  at- 
tempt to  do  so.  Men  who  are  always  chargiog  fraud  in 
owners,  jobbery  in  drivers  and  corruption  in  racing  associa- 
tions, may  safely  be  put  down  as  novices  in  racing  or  unsuc- 
cessful gamblers. — Van  de  Lashmutt,  in  North  Pacific  Rural. 

Racing  Dates  for  New  York. 


An  interesting  character  dropped  into  town  the  other  day. 
His  name  is  Betheny  Silvester  Clark,  but  he  is  popularly 
known  by  the  less  pcetentious  appelation  of  "  Bess."  He  is 
a  colored  man  and  was  born  in  Lincoln  county,  Kentuckv. 
He  was  72  years  old  the  16th  of  last  month.  He  is  a  jockey 
by  profession  and  has  spent  fifty-six  years  in  the  saddle. 

"Bess"  is  a  peculiar  individual  and  one  who  is  often  the 
center  of  a  concourse  of  people,  who  gather  around  to  look 
at  him.  He  is  quite  stockily  built  and  weighs  143  pounds,  but 
he  is  only  4  feet  4  inches  in  height.  Although  nearly  three- 
quarters  of  a  century  old,  he  is  as  nimble  and  agile  as  though 
fifty  wears  were  lopped  off  his  life.  He  is  hale  and  hearty, 
fond  cf  a  glass,  and  extremely  affable. 

"Bess  '  "  life  has  been  an  exciting  one,  aod  he  has  been  the 
hero  of  incidents  little  less  than  romantic.  He  has  the  repu- 
tation of  being  a  fighter,  for  he  has  shot  two  men — neither  of 
whom  was  fatally  hurt,  however — and  once  clubbed  a  China- 
man with  a  pick  handle  until  the  Mongol  was  uoconscious. 

The  little  colored  man  is  one  of  the  best-known  characters 
on  the  California  turf.  He  has  followed  the  circuit  so  long 
that  his  face  has  become  familiar  to  the  horsemen  of  nearly 
every  town  on  the  coast,  and  he  has  ridden  in  and  won  some 
of  the  most  famous  and  hardest-fought  racing  contests  in  the 
State.  '*  Bess  "  obtained  second  money  in  the  famous  four- 
mile  run  at  Ocean  View  some  time  io  the  sixties.  In  1876 
he  won  three  successive  races  on  the  Stockton  track,  riding 
Ross  Sargent's  Gilroy  Belle. 

The  horseman  is  particularly  remembered  by  old-time 
Stocktonians,  however,  on  account  of  theexcitement  he  created 
at  the  local  track  one  year  by  pulling  a  shotgun  on  J.  K. 
Doak,  who  was  one  of  the  judges  in  a  race  that  the  jockey  had 
just  run.  The  judges  claimed  a  foul  and  refused  to  give  the 
stake  money  to  the, winner.  "Bess"'  compelled  them  to  turn 
over  the  cash  at  the  muzzle  of  a  shotgun. 

On  another  occasion  he  rode  a  race  on  the  Stockton  track 
with  a  revolver  strapped  to  his  w'aist,  as  a  plot  had  been 
formed  among  the  other  riders  tn  "  hedge  him  in. "  It  is 
needless  to  say  that  he  was  given  plenty  of  room. 

"  Bess  "  has  also  had  a  number  of  exciting  escapades  oS  the 
turf.  He  was  detained  in  the  County  Jail  here  for  thirty  days 
while  awaiting  trial  on  a  charge  of  an  attempt  to  commit 
murder,  and  he  was  finally  acquitted. 

At  another  time  he  shot  at  a  fellow  because  the  latter 
"joshed  "  him.  The  jockey  was  given  a  medal  wbile  at 
Pleasanton  for  being  the  biggest  Har  in  the  country.  A  fel- 
low jeered  him  about  it,  and  as  "Bess"  did  not  appreciate  the 
joke,  he  filled  the  man  with  buckshot.  He  managed  to 
squeeze  out  of  the  meshes  of  the  law  this  time  also. 

The  rider  quit  thesaddle  six  years  ago,  but  still  trains  run- 
ning horses.  He  is  located  at  Lodi  at  present,  where  he  has 
a  stable  of  his  own.  He  is  also  training  a  few  colts  belongiog 
to  Ross  Sargent  and  one  or  two  belonging  to  G.  W.  Trahern.

New  Track   at  Pleasanton. 


All  doubts  as  to  whether  there  would  be  a  full  complement 
of  racing  dates  in  the  vicinity  of  Xew  York  were  effectually 
settled  Monday  when  Michael  F.  Dwyer,  acting  for  the  New 
Jersey  Jockey  Club,  signed  a  lease  for  the  Jerome  Park 
track,  and  will  race  out  the  dates  which  would  otherwise 
have  been  taken  by  the  Monmouth  Park  Association  if  the 
New  Jersey  managers  hae  not  interfered. 


Three  years  ago  we  pointed  out  the  benefits  of  having 
a  splendid  race  track  at  Pleasanton  and  published  a  series  of 
articles  upon  the  subject,  commenting  upon  the  advantages 
of  this  place  over  all  others  we  had  ever  seen  for  a  training 
track.  Since  that  time  the  wonderful  performances  made  by 
the  graduates  from  the  Salisbury  track  at  Pleasanton  have 
verified  these  predictions,  s.nd  every  horseman  attracted  to 
Pleasanton  through  our  columns  claims  that  it  is  the  "best 
training  ground  for  trotters  and  pacers  in  the  world  :"  thus 
coinciding  with  our  opinion.  It  is  gratifying  to  note  that  the 
newspapers  published  in  Pleasanton,  The  Times  aod  Direct, 
have  taken  up  the  subject,  and  the  following  clipped  from  the 
latter -named  journal,  will  be  pleasant  reading.  While  induce- 
ments should  thus  be  held  forth  to  owners  of  trotters  and  pa- 
cers, let  it  not  be  forgotten  that  owners  of  thoroughbreds 
should  be  shown  that  for  their  fleet-footed  equines  Pleasan- 
ton stands  second  to  no  place  in  the  world.  R.  E.  de  B. 
Lopez,  a  horseman  who  has  been  in  all  parts  of  the  world, 
showed  his  good  judgment  by  purchasing  the  Valensin  Farm, 
which  is  only  about  a  mile  and  a  half  from  the  Pleasanton 
Track,  and  intends  to  raise  and  train  race  horses  in  this  fa- 
vored place : 

"For  some  time  past  there  has  been  more  or  less  talk  of 
forming  a  joint  stock  company  with  a  view  of  buying  a  tract 
of  land  near  town  for  the  purpose  of  building  a  public  race 
track. 

Tb  rough  the  columns  of  the  Times  we  have  often  set  forth 
the  advisability  of  taking  proper  steps  in  that  direction.  We 
have  shown  the  many  advantages  to  be  derived  from  such  a 
scheme  wherein  the  town  of  Pleasanton  might  be  materially 
benefited,  and  horsemen  desirous  of  securing  suitable  train- 
ing quarters  could  be  accommodated. 

The  citizens  of  Pleasanton  have  evidently  realized  that  a 
public  track  with  suitable  stall  and  other  conveniences  properly 
handled  would  do  a  great  deal  toward  building  up  our  little 
town,  and  have  shown  their  enterprise  by  subscribing  liber- 
ally toward  having  the  contemplated  enterprise  carried  out. 
A  plot  of  sixty-five  acres  has  been  secured  for  $19,000,  lo- 
cated within  the  proposed  town  limits.  The  petition  to  pur- 
chase the  land  has  been  circulated  but  a  few  days,  and  with- 
in that  short  time  over  $5,000  has  been  promised. 

The  is  no  reason  whv  this  should  not  be  a  paying  invest- 
ment, for,  as  we  have  always  maintained,  there  if  no  place  in 
the  world  belter  adapted  as  to  soil  and  climate,  than  Pleasan- 
ton for  training  horses.  It  would  be  only  a  very  few  years 
until  all  of  the  best  horses  would  be  wintered  here  and  pre- 
pared for  the  Pacific  Coast  and  Eastern  circuits.  One  of  our 
best  reasons  for  advancing  the  above  argument  lies  in  the 
fact  that  those  veteran  rein^men,  Orrin  Hickok,  Andy  Mc- 
Dowell and  Monroe  Salisbury,  say,  that  Pleasanton  '  beats  the 
world '  as  a  training  place. 

The  firet-nnmed  gentleman  shipped  his  horses  here  last 
fall  from  the  East,  and  has  been  able  to  give  them  work  al- 
most constantly,  therefore,  bis,  as  well  as  all  other  horses 
trained  here  are  in  the  pink  of  condition. 

Next  year  weexpect  other  Eastern  trainers  here  with  their 
stables  as  a  consequence  of  the  advertisement  given  Pleasan- 
ton through  Orrin  Hickok,  Monroe  Salisbury  and  others 
from  outside  the  State  who  have  wintered  here. 

During  the  past  winter  at  least  200  more  horses  would  have 
been  quartered  here  could  stable  accommodations  have  been 
secured.  Next  year  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  ibis  difficulty  will 
have  been  overcome  by  the  building  of  the  new  track  and 
about  200  box  stalls  as  proposed."

Advertise  Race  Meetings. 


The  secretary  of  a    trotting  association  owing  a  half-mile 
track  writes  to  this  journal  in  this  wise :     "  Last  fall  we  built 
a  new  set  of  stables,  harrowed   the  track   deeply,  covered   it 
with  a   foot  of  manure,  and  in  general  made  all  the  improve- 
ments our  means  would  allow.  In  the  beginning  of  February 
we  advertised  stakes,  which  lilled  remarkably  well.    Assoon 
as  the   weather  would    permit   we  removed  the    coating   of 
manure,  again  put  on  the  harrows,  and   though   the  weather 
has  not  been  all  that  could  be  desired,  our   track  is  now  in 
fairlv  good   condition    for  work.     Summing  up,  you  see  we 
have  good  stables,  good    track,  good   accommodations  of  all 
kinds,  gosd  transportation  facilities  to  aud   from  the  grounds, 
liberal  entries,  aud  the  only  thing   that    now    remains  to   be 
done  i-  to  secure  a  paying  audience.     What  shall  we  do  to  be 
Mire  of  this./"     At  the  Bret  blush  it  would  look  as  though  this 
fortunate  secretary  had  little  to  do   but   to  sit  still  and  the 
audience  would  come  of  itself  to  see  the  races  on  such  com- 
modious premise*.     The  secretary's  duties,  however,  are  by 
no  means  finished  ;    it  may  be  said,  indeed,  that  they  are  just 
begun.     Thedates  for  the  meeting   to  which   he  alludes  are 
about  two  months  distant,  and  in   these  sixty   days    there  is 
ample  time  for  the  public  to   forget   all  about  it,  and  unless 
something  is  done  to  keep  it  constantly  in    mind,  such  will  be 
the  inevitable  result.     The  tirst  ihing  to  be  done  is  to    keep 
nominators  fully  apprised  of  the  dates  on  which    the   future 
payments  are  due  and  must  be  paid.     This  will  obviate  un- 
necessary lapses,  and  will  tend  to  bring  more  starters   for  the 
word.     The  next  of  the  secretary  duties  is  to  advertise   his 
meeting  liberally  in  the  best  papers  circulating  in  the  district 
from  which  he  expects  to  draw  his  attendance.      The  papers 
at  the  various  county  seats,  and  in   other   towns   of  size,  are 
the  ones  which  will  prove  to  be   the  best  mediums   for  the 
purpose,     and    in     addition      to     a     display      he     should 
make      arrangements        for       the       insertion      of    catchy 
reaiinij  notices  containing  some  essential  element  of  news, 
and  at  the  same  time   directing  the  close  attention  of  the 
reader  to  the  fact  that  a  meeting  will  be  h  ;ld  in  a  certain  town 
on  a  certain  day.     The  display  should  be  kept  standing  until 
within  a  week  or  two  of  the  opening  day,  when  as  much  more 
advertising  space  as  possible  should  be  bought  and  a  tempting 
bill  of  racing  fere  therein  spread   before  the  public.     It  the 
journals  patronized  are  judiciously  selected,  the  people  of  the 
surrounding  district  will  be  kept  perfectly  informed  of  what 
is  going  on  in  connection    with  the  meeting,  and    in  it  will 
spring  up  and  increase  an  interest  which  nothing  else  can,  in 
a  simitar  degree,  promote.     Following  this,  arrangements  of 
all  kinds  should  be  made  well  in  advance  of  the  week  in  which 
the  meeting  will   take  place.     Supplies  of  hav,  grain,  straw 
and  other  essentials  should  be  contracted  for,  so  that  they  will 
be  for  sale  on  the  grounds,  and  thus  save  visiting  horsemen 
much  trouble  in  going  to  seek  them  in  the  town.     One  of  ibe 
most    important     points   to  be  covered  is   the   selection  of 
the  judges.     If  anything  connected  with  a  racing  meeting  re- 
quires to  be  done  early  it  is  this.     The  best  starting  judge 
obtainable    should     be     secured.       To     hire     an     inferior 
official  because  his  services  are  cheap  is   a   cheese-paring 
policy  which  invariably    is    disastrous    to    the    association. 
Poor  starting  is  one  of  the  most  fruitful  causes   of  failure 
in  racing  nowadays,  wherefore  the  engagement  of   a  good 
starter  at  %  liberal    fee    is    indispensable   to   success.     The 
rest  of  the  judges  and  timers  must   be  selected  with  equal 
care.     The  day  for  placing  prominent  citizens  in  the  stand 
has  passed.     The  fact  that  a  man  is  a  State  Senator  or  other 
local  dignitary  is  no  passport  to  a  position  involving  the  al- 
lotment of  money  in  large  or  small  sums  on  the  race  course, 
unless  the  social  standing  is  accompanied   by   a  thorough 
knowledge  of  the  rules  of  racing.     A  niggardly  policy  in  this 
matter  will  be  found  as  suicidal  as  it  is  in  the  engagement  of 
the  starter.     Many  men  who  understand  the  rules  well,  will, 
for  the  sake  of  a  holiday,  attend  a  neighboring  racing  meeting 
and  administer  the  law  justly  and  efficiently  if  suitable   con- 
cessions are   made  to  them  in  the  way  of  expenses  and  other 
minor   items.      This   most  es-eotial    point  is  the  very   one 
which  is  most  frequently  left  to  the  last   moment,  whereas  it 
should    always    receive  the  secretary's    earliest     attention. 
Horsemen  begin  to   lose  faith  when  they  find  that  the  track 
manager  is  running  hither  and    thither  endeavoring   to  per- 
suade 1  his  man  and  that  man  to  assume  judicial  duties.      Ar- 
rangements to  secure  special   police,    ticket    sellers,  patrol 
judges,  marshals,  if  you  will,  in  fact  for  inen  to  fill  every  re- 
sponsible position  must  be  made  early  in  order  that  good  men 
may  be  obtained.      Not  the  least  important  among  such  posi- 
tions is  that  of  manager  of  the  grounds.       He  may  be  the  as- 
sistant secretary  or  some  one  just  temporarily   engaged.     In 
every  case  he  should  be  fair-minded  and  of  some  executive 
ability,  so  that  he  may  assign  stalls, answer  questions,  and  in 
a  thousand  different  ways  take  much  of  the  burden  from  the 
secretary's  shoulders  and  permit  him  to  devote  his   time  to 
more  important  affairs.      These,  with  the  other  matters  which 
go  to  make  up  the  duties  of  the  secretary,  will  occupy  some 
weeks,     during     which    time    the    most     careful     attention 
should   have  been   bes'.owed  upon  the  track.     It  should  be 
harrowed  and  floated,  scraped  if  necessary,  and  in  general  put 
and  kept  in  as  good  shape  as  possible.     Three  weeks  before 
the  meeting  the  adjoining  country  should  be  literally  "painted 
red  "  with  advertisements.     Good  colored  lithographs  for  this 
purpose  are  now  to  cheap  that   scarcely  any  association  can 
■fiord  to  do  without  them.    .Joined  to  these  should  be  posters 
of  nil  shapes  and  sizes,  and  a  favorite  way  of  special  advertis- 
ing with  some  secretaries  of  experience  is  to  have   printed 
small  folders  giving  the  number  of  entries  and  other  interest- 
ing information,  and  mail  them  to  list  of  names   in  each  of 
tbfl  adjoining  towns.     The  expense  of  this  is  nominal,  as  a 
one  cent  stamp  is  sufficient  for  each,  so  that  twenty  dollars 
will  secure  the  transportation  of  two  thousand  folders.     The 
flaming  posters  should  bo  pasted  up  everywhere  in  the  neigh- 
borhood where  people  are  wont  to  congregate.     In  short,  no 
stone    should    be    left    unturned    to    bring    the   dates   and 
chancier  of  the  meeting  to  the  notice  of  all    inhabitants 
of  the  district  from  which  the  attendance  must  come.  A  band 
should  not  be  forgotten.     The  people  who  attend  meetings  of 
ihisolasfl  like  to  hear  mnsic  discoursed  between  heats,  and  it 
moat  be  said  that  pleasing  selections  well  rendered  go  far  to 
relieve  the  monotony  experienced  in  waiting  for  the  contest- 
ants to  appear.     Then  again,  if  the  first  race  is  advertised  to 
take  place  at  a  certain  hour,  and  if  possible  let  them  Iw  sent 
away  at  the  v    ry  stroke  of  the  clock.     If  the  public  under- 
stand <t  that    *he  programme  wilt    be  carried  out  promptly 
they  will  be  prompt   in  (heir  attendance,  and  the  audience 
will  bo  increased,  for  every  one  will  know  that  unless  unfor- 
seen  circumstances  arise  the  day's  doings  will  be  finished  in 


time  to  permit  of  home  being  reached  early  in  the  evening. 
Delays  of  every  kind  must  be  avoided  ;  but  as  the  conduct 
of  the  meeting  itself  is  not  touched  on  by  our  questioner  we 
leave  it  with  the  remarks  already  made.  There  are  many 
other  little  matters  which  will  arise  from  day  to  day,  but 
which  it  is  impossible  to  specify.  These  must  be  met  and 
overcome  by  the  secretary  as  events  demand.  The  main 
points  conducing  to  the  securing  of  a  paying  audience  after 
a  good  entry  list  has  been  received  are  to  advertise  the  meet- 
ing liberally  iu  the  quarters  from  which  the  people  must 
come;  to  secure  forjudges  men  in  whom  the  public  have 
con6dence,  and  to  dovetail  all  else  connected  with  the  meet- 
ins  so  firmly  that  no  hitch  may  occur  at  the  eleventh 
hour. — Horseman. 

Death   of   Two    Valuable    Mares. 


Trotters    For   the    East. 


The  first  two  deaths  that  have  opened  gaps  in  the  brood- 
mare ranks  of  the  stock  on  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  oc- 
curred last  Friday.  One  of  the  victims  was  Margaret,  2:2S,  by 
Sultan,  and  the  other  Fidelia,  by  Director;  their  loss  is  deeply 
deplored  by  their  owner.  Margaret  was  a  well-shaped  bay 
mare,  standing  16j  hands,  and  before  Mr.  Corbitt  purchased 
her  of  L.  J.  Rose  of  Los  Angeles,  she  was  used  as  a  road  mare 
by  L.  J.  Rose,  Jr.,  and  without  any  preparation  except  ordi- 
nary road  work,  trotted  and  won  her  maiden  race,  getting 
a  record  of  2:28,  She  would  have  had  a  record  fully  ten  sec- 
onds faster  if  prepared  for  it.  Mr.  Corbitt  had  purchased  her 
dam,  May  Sproul,  by  The  Moor,  in  1SS1,  and  when  he  saw 
Margaret  he  determined  to  have  her  and  did  so,  paying  a  big 
price.  He  bred  her  to  Guy  Wilkes  in  1SS6,  and  the  follow- 
ing spring  she  produced  the  large  bay  colt,  Regal  Wilkes, 
which,  with  very  limited  handling  as  a  two-year-old,  trotted 
in  2:20|,  and  got  the  stallion  record  at  that  time.  The  fol- 
lowing ytar  he  trolled  in  2:17A,  and  as  a  five-year-old  he 
made  his  present  record  of  2:llf.  He  made  these  records  to 
a  hi^h-wheeled  sulky  in  races,  and  Mr.  Goldsmith  has  always 
been  of  the  opinion  that  had  he  devoted  more  of  his  time  to 
developing  the  speed  of  this  young  horse  the  record  would  be 
at  least  2:08  for  him.  As  a  sire.  Regal  Wilkes  is  destined  to 
become  one  of  the  best  ever  foaled  at  this  celebrated 
farm,  for  his  progeny  are  large,  stylish,  level-headed,  pure- 
gaited  and  wonderfully  fast  wilh  ihe  little  work  they  have 
had.  As  he  is  by  Guy  Wilkes  out  of  a  mare  containing  a 
douole  cross  of  The  Moor  and  this  built  upon  a  William- 
son Belmont  foundation,  he  should  prove  a  valuable  outcross 
for  any  class  of  mares.  But  we  are  digressing.  In  18S8 
Margaret  had  no  foal,  in  18S9  she  had  Legal  Wilkes,  in  1S90 
Princess  Wilkes;  in  1S92  a  black  colt ;  in  1893  another  foal  ; 
and  at  ner  death  she  had  a  beautiful,  strong-limbed  bay  colt 
by  Guy  Wilkes ;  in  fact,  she  never  was  bred  to  any  other  sire. 
Her  death  was  occasioned  by  colic;  everything  was  done  to 
alleviate  her  sufferings,  but  in  vain.  Her  tilly  will  be  raised 
by  hand.  Margaret's  full  brother,  Sultan  Jr.,  was  the  sire  of 
Lynwood,  the  two-year-old  that  trotted  to  a  record  of  2:20}, 
and  will  soon  form  one  of  the  diamonds  in  John  A.  Gold- 
smith's string  at  Poughkeepsie,  New  York. 

While  the  attendants  were  busily  engaged  with  the  suffer- 
ing Margaret  another  highly-prized  broodmare  was  also  sink- 
ing fast  and  that  w;s  the  black  mare  Fidelia,  by  Director, 
dam  by  Reavis'  Blackbird  4Q2  ;  second  dam  by  Lancet  (son 
of  Blackhawk  767  and  a  mare  by  Emigrant).  Fidelia  .was 
bred  to  Lynwood,  2:20},  last  spring,  and  Mr.  Corbitt  was 
afraid  she  would  have  a  difficult  time  in  foaling,  so  when 
she  was  due,  every  precaution  was  taken  to  assist  her,  but  the 
foal  proved  to  bean  immense  one  and  in  giving  birth  to  it  she 
became  badly  lacerated  and  shortly  afterwards  died.  The 
foal,  which  proved  to  be  a  filly,  was  taken  over  to  the  stall 
where  Anteeo  Viva  was,  and  as  the  latter's  foal  died  the  pre- 
vious evening,  she  adopted  the  black  orphan  at  once  and  is 
caring  for  it  as  well  as  if  it  were  herown. 

Fidelia  was  a  black  mare  standing  15J  hands,  star  and  snip 
near  front]heel  and  hind^ankle  white  and  was  bred  by  R.  Mc- 
Enespy,  of  Chico.  She  was  foaled  in  lSb'o  and  in  1887  trotted 
a  mile  in  2:38,  last  quarter  in  37  seconds.  She  was  a  typical 
Director  in  form,  disposition  and  gait,  and  everyone  of  her 
colts  are  very  promising.  In  18S6"  Mr.  Corbitt  purchased  her 
aod  bred  her  to  Sable  Wilkes.  6he  produced  the  filly  Fide- 
lia Wilkes,  trial  2:35;  the  next  year  to  the  same  sire  she 
produced  Wil  Direct,  a  candidate  for  2:15  honors;  the  fol- 
lowing year  she  dropped  a  black  filly,  and  the  next  year  Mr. 
Corbitt  thought  he  would  switch  her  off  and  see  whether 
bred  to  Guy  Wilkes  she  would  produce  a  bay,  as  ail  of  her 
other  colts  and  fillies  were  black  ;  the  result  proved  that 
Guy  could  control  color,  for  the  filly  that  came  in  1S92  was 
brown.  Mr.  Corbitt  bred  her  to  Sable  Wilkes  and  a  black 
colt  came,  which  will  be  sold  at  the  coming  sale.  He  is  one 
of  the  finest-looking  youngsters  in  the  State,  and  whoever 
gels  him  will  have  a  treasure.  Direct  jr  mares  are  scarce  and 
good  ones  like  Fidelia  are  very  hard  to  find. 


Last  Wednesday  a  train  left  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm 
for  the  East,  and  in  one  of  the  splendid  cars  the  ,'fol- 
lowing  choicely-bred  trotting  animals  were  carefully  stabled 
for  their  long  journey  across  the  continent  to  Poughkeepsie, 
where  John  A.  Goldsmith  is  awaitiog  to  receive  them.  Mr. 
Corbitt,  the  owner,  personally  supervised  the  shipping. 
The  first  one  led  in  was  the  bay  stallion  Lynwood,  which 
got  a  record  of  2:20}  as  a  two-year-old  at  Stockton,  after  a 
very  few  trials  to  beat  2:30.  He  is  a  grandly-proportioned 
horse,  and  one  which  will  be  no  discredit  to  his  breeding.  He 
is  sired  by  the  mighty  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  Lindaleby 
Suhan  Jr.  ^ brother  to  Margaret,  2:28,  dam  of  Regal  Wilkes, 
2:1  If);  second  dam  Flora  Pierson,  by  Gen.  McClellan  144; 
third  dam  by  Langford,  son  of  Williamson's  Belmont. 

Laura  Wilkes,  a  brown  filly  foaled  in  1891,  by  Sable 
Wilkes,  2:18,  out  of  Laura  Drew,  by  Arthurton  ;  second  dam 
Molly  Drew,  2:27  (dam  of  Alannah,  2:111,  pacing),  hy  Win- 
throp  505 ;  third  dam  Fanny  Fern  (dam  of  Balkan,  2:15, 
etc.),  by  Jack  Hawkins.  Laura  Wilkes  is,  therefore,  a  full 
sister  to  Freedom,  the  first  yearling  in  the  world  to  trot  a 
mile  inside  of  2:29$.  She  is  a  very  pure  gaited  trotter  and  is 
one  lhat  Mr.  Goldsmith  can  take  much  pride  in. 

Theracy-looking chestnut  filly  with  strip  in  face  and  snip, 
looks  as  if  she  ought  to  be  fast.  On  inquiry,  it  was  learned  that 
she  is  called  Mary  Best  and  her  record  is  2:21}  which  she 
made  as  a  three-year-old  at  the  Oakland  Track  last  August 
when  she  defeated  Mustapha,  Maud  Fowler,  Anteeo  Maid 
and  Index  in  three  straight  heats,  driven  by  John  Rogers.  It 
was  in  the  2:40  class,  too,  and  the  way  the  money  was  wagered 
on  the  result  of  this  race  will  not  be  forgotten  by  those  who 
were  there.  Mary  Best  has  grown  taller  and  thickened  out 
considerably  since,  and  her  smooth  frictionless  trotting 
gait  will  make  friends  for  her  wherever  she  goes.  Mary  Best 
is  by  Guv  Wilkes,  2:15£,  out  of  Montrose  (dam  of  Muta 
Wilkes,  2:11,  Jand  Sir  Wilkes,  2:29),  by  Sultan  ;  second£dam 
San  Mateo  Maid,  by  Hambletonian  725  ;  third  dam  by  Ab- 
dallah  1.  Mary  Best  will  lower  her  record  considerably  if 
climatic   changes  do  not  seriously  effect   her. 

Burlingameis  the  name  of  a  full  brother  to  the  great  Sable 
Wilkes,  2:18.  He  has  a  head  like  Rupee,  2:11,  and  being 
brown  in  color  the  resemblance  becomes  more  striking.  He 
has  a  star  in  forehead  and  Lwo  white  ankles  behind  and  one 
front  pastern.  Burlingame  is  three  years  old  and  received 
his  name  from  the  beautiful  town  that  is  being  built  close  to 
the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm.  He  will  be.. a  fast  colt  later  in 
the  year  as  be  is,  like  every  horse  of  his  build,  a  glutton 
for  work.  That  he  will  be  no  disgrace  to  his  illustrious  sire 
and  dam  is  certain. 

The  only  two-year-old  going  lhat  is  entered  in  the  rich 
stakes  in  the  East  is  called  Whalebone;  he  is  by  Sable  Wilkes 
out  of  Anita,  2:25  o-,  bv  Le  Grande;  second  dam  Hannah 
Price  (dam  of  Lesa  Wilkes,  2:20$,  Anita,  4,  2:25*  and 
Chas.  James,  2:22^),  by  Arthurton.  Whalebone  will  be  seen 
in  the  front  row  of  the  two-year-old  brigade  on  some  of  the 
Eastern  tracks  before  the  snow  falls.  In  fact,  it  is  hoped  he 
will  be  a  second  Oro  Wilkes. 

Besides  these  five  Mr.  Corbitt  is  sending  three  others 
(youngsters)  that  have  no  engagements.  They  will  be  handled 
by  Mr.  Goldsmith, and,  if  he  thinks  any  of  them  eligible,  he 
may  enter  them  in  races  later  on. 


The  Woodland  People  Are  Awake. 


The  directors  of  Yolo  Agricultural  Association  met  at 
Woodland,  Gal,,  April  23.  Notwithstanding  the  cry  of  hard 
limes  and  discouragement  that  other  associations  have  met 
with,  owing  to  the  large  entry  list  already  received  for  colt 
purses  (having  received  an  average  of  nineteen  entries  in 
eight  colt  purses),  and  encouraging  reports  received  by  the 
Secretary  from  various  parts  of  the  State,  the  directors  of 
this  association  prepared  and  adopted  a  programme  of  class 
races,  also  agreed  upon  having  one  or  more  running  eveuls 
each  day,  the  purses  to  said  races  aggregating  $11,000.  The 
entries  to  close  to  the  trotting  and  pacing  raceson  June  1st, 
1894,  the  advertisement  of  which  giving  particulars,  condi- 
tions, etc.,  will  appear  in  due  lime.  The  arrangement  of  run- 
ning events  to  be  advertised  elill  later. 

On  motion  i»  was  ordered  that  the  above  association  join 
i  Incidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  and  Secretary 
ordered  to  make  application  for  membership.

tube  runs  from  the  bag  over  the  boot.  After  the  boot  has 
been  placed  on  the  horse  the  hag  is  filled  with  air,  and  the 
horse  striking  the  plate  does  so  with  no  injury  or  concussion 
to  the  bag.  It  is  being  highly  praised  by  all  the  drivers  »t

Dehorning   Cattle. 


[Written  for  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.] 

Many  methods  have  been  advised  to  dehorn  cattle,  and  at 
the  present  time  unqualified  practitioners  are  going  round 
evading  the  State  law  regulating  the  practice  of  veterinary 
surgery,  by  claiming  to  be  simply  emasculators,  but  at  the 
sa  "ne  time  dehorning  cattle. 

This  operation  has  been  the  subject  of  a  good  deal  of  con- 
troversy among  humane  societies,  and  recent  experiments  by 
Prof.  I.  P.  Roberts,  of  Cornell  University,  show  that  a  simple 
way  of  removing  the  horns  is  by  what  he  calls  chemical  de- 
horning. The  Professor  gives  the  following  directions  for  what 
after  carefully  experimenting,  he  considers  "bufar  the  easiest, 
most  humane  and  moat  certain  method  of  securing  hornless  cattle" 

This  is  the  use  of  caustic-potash,  which  may  be  had  at  any 
drug  store,  in  th*  form  of  round  sticks  about  the  size  of  a  lead 
pencil,  and  should  be  kept  from  exposure  to  the  air  as  it 
rapidly  absorbs  moisture.  The  directions  are  :  The  best  time 
to  apply  is  early  in  the  life  of  the  animal,  just  as  soon  as  the 
little  horns  can  be  distinguished  by  the  touch.  The  hair 
should  be  closely  clipped  from  the  skin,  and  ihe  little  horn 
moistened  with  water,  to  which  soap  or  a  few  drops  of  am- 
monia have  been  added,  to  dissolve  the  oily  secretion  of  the 
skin,  so  that  the  potash  will  more  readily  adhere  to  the  sur- 
face of  the  horn.  Care  must  be  taken  not  to  moisten  the  skin, 
except  on  the  horn  where  ihe  potash  is  to  be  applied.  One 
end  of  a  stick  of  caustic-potash  is  dipped  in  water  until  it  is 
slightly  softened.  It  is  then  rubbed  on  th*»  moistened  surface 
of  the  little  horn.  This  operation  is  repeated  from  five  to 
eight  times  until  the  surface  of  the  horn  becomes  highly  sen- 
sitive. The  whole  operation  need  take  only  a  few  minutes, 
and  ihe  calf  is  apparently  insensible  to  it.  A  slight  scab 
forms  over  the  surface  of  the  budding  horn  and  drops  off  in 
the  course  of  a  month  or  six  weeks,  leaving  a  perfectly 
smooth  pole.  No  inflammation  or  suppuration  has  taken 
place  in  any  of  the  trials  we  have  made.  The  result  of  these 
experiments  warrants  the  following  recommendations:  (1) 
That  for  efficiency,  cheapness,  and  ease  of  application,  stick 
cnusiie-|Mtftsh  can  be  safely  recommended  for  preventing  the 
growth  of  horns.  (2)  The  earlier  the  application  is  made  in 
the  life  of  the  calf  the  better. 

The  simplicity  of  the  method  certainly  does  away  with  the 
barbarous  methods  now  in  vogue,  and  although  pain  must  be 
inllicted  in  many  cases  when  operating  on  the  lower  animals, 
it  becomes  the  duty  of  all  operators  to  iollict  it  as  seldom  as 
possible.  Prof.  Thos.  Bowhill, 

F.R.  C.  Y.  S.,F.  R.  P.  S. 


Small  breeders  frequently  have  just  as  well  bred  horses  as

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 

SEVENTEENTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  APRIL  25. 

SHOTS  fared  better  than  the  favor, 
ites  today,  three  of  the  former  win- 
ning against  two  first  choices.    The 
fields  were  of  fair  size  and  the  rac- 
ing really  excellent.     A   crowd  of 
i  perhaps  1,500  saw  the  fiveXcontests, 
and  while  the  bookmakers  got  most 
of  the  bettors'  money,  the  racing 
was  so  meritorious  and  the  starting 
i  so  good  that  there  was  no  chaoce  for 
a  legitimate  growl.  The  heavy  rain 
of  the  early  morning  had  made  the 
race  course  a  trifle  heavy,  but  still 
there  was  no  mud  to  speak  of. 

Blue  and  White,  the  favorite,  waited  on  Nellie  Van  and 
Seaside  until  well  toward  the  close,  then  came  on  and  won, 
with  quite  "a  bit  up  her  sleeve,"  by  a  head,  Seaside  second, 
two  lengths  from  Nellie  Van,  who  lasted  long  enough  to  beat 
old  Regal  half  a  length.for  the  show. 

Find  Out,  a  5-to-l  shot,  led  from  start  to  finish  in  the  sec- 
ond  race,  for  two-year-olds,  fourand  a  half  furlongs,  winning  j 
driving  by  a  neck.  Foremost,  the  Darebin-Nellie  Peyton 
filly  and  Niagara  finished  second,  third  and  fourth,  heads 
apart.  It  was  truly  a  beautiful  race.  The  stewards  did  not 
like  the  way  Coombs  handled  the  Nellie  Peyton  filly,  it  is  un- 
derstood, and  suspended  him  for  the  meeting. 

Inferno,  at  15  to  1  in  the  betting,  was  fourth  into  the 
homestretch,  over  four  lengths  behind  the  leader,  St.  Croix, 
and  then  came  on  and  won  going  very  strong  by  one  and  one- 
half  lengths,  Boston  Boy  beating  the  tiring  St.  Croix  for 
place  by  two  lengths. 

Herald, favorite  in  the  fourth,  with  top  weight  up,  ran  a 
grand  race.  Viceroy  had  command  until  within  fifty  yards 
of  the  final  turn,  when  Orizaba  wrested  the  lead  away.  The 
latter  led  up  to  the  last  seventy-five  yards,  when  Herald 
came  on  and  won  with  great  ease  by  half  a  length.  Orizaba, 
second,  was  as  far  from  old  Ryland.  Peregal  ran  promi- 
nently nearly  up  to  the  last  sixteenth,  when  he  commenced 
dying  away,  finishiog  a  very  poor  fourth. 

Clacquer  made  a  lot  of  very  fast  sprinters  look  like  suckers 
of  the  first  water  in  the  last  race.  He  ran  up  second,  at  Red- 
light's  heels,  as  they  reached  the  final  turn,  aod  woo,  with 
several  links  left,  by  a  length  fiom  Redlight,  who  beat  Bill 
Howard  one  and  one-half  lengths  for  the  place.  Guard,  the 
heavily-plaved  favorite,  ran  last  all  the  way. 

A.  Covington  rode  two  winners  to-day  (Find  Out  and 
Clacquer),  and  the  other  successful  knights  of  the  pigskin 
were  Coombs,  Peters  and  W.  Clancy.

ployed his  usual  tactics,  that  of  leading  from  the  jump,  being

EIGHTEENTH  DAT — THURSDAY/,  APKIL  26. 

Good  racing  was  had  to-day,  notwithstanding  the  fields 
were  small  pud  the  track  muddy.  The  weather  was  calculated 
to  keep  the  crowd  away,  and  it  did  to  a  certain  extent.  Two 
favorites,  two  rather  long  shots  and  a  strong  second  choice 
poked  their  aristocratic  noses  in  front  at  the  finish,  so  that  the 
tug-of -war  pull  between  pencilers  and  public  was  a  close  and 
exciting  one.  The  feature  of  the  day's  sport  was  the  close 
finish  in  the  mile  handicap.    This  race  was  won  by  a  head  by 

j  Agitato  from  De  Bracey,  while  about   a  neck   further  away 

I  was  Artist.  This  piece  of  work  reflects  great  credit  on  Han- 
dicapper  Brough.       Jake   Allen's   win  netted  his  owner's 

i  friends  a  very  neat  sum.  At  one  time  20  to  1  could  be  se- 
cured, but  at  post  time  he  had  been  backed  down  to   6  and  7 

|  to  1.     The  winners  were  ridden  to-day   by   Chevalier,  Boze- 
man, E.  Jones  and  Peters,  Chevalier  riding  two  that  finished 
in  front.  .St.  Saviours  won  two  races  to-day  out  of  there  they 
started  in,  and  the  remaining  one  was  beaten  but  a  head. 
Monita,  the  favorite,  waited  for  Chula  to  quit  in  the  home- 

1  stretch,  and  when  tha  filly  had  coughed  out  "  enough  !j"  the 
brother  to  Zobair  came  on  and  won  easily  by  a  length,  King 
Sam  getting  the  place  and  Chula  the  show.  KiDg  Sam  was 
played  harder  than  any  horse  in  the  race. 

Victory  led  until  well  down  the  homestretch  in  the  second 
event,  then  Kai  Moi  went  to  the  front,  and  drawing  away  at 

'  every  stride,  won  by  three  lengths  from  Victory,  wbo  was  as 

1  far  from  the  driven-out  Captain  Coster.  Malo  Diablo,  the 
favorite,  was  fourth. 

!      Jake  Allen  made  his  admirers  swallow  a  lot  of  tobacco.  He 

'  was  third  into  the  homestretch,  but  Promise  looked  every 
inch  a  winner  up  to  the  last  couple  of  jumps.  By  a  wonder- 
ful effort,  however.  Jake  Allen  landed  the  money  by  a  nose, 
Promise  second,  a  couple  of  lengths  from  Victress.  Sympa- 
thetic^ Last  ran  well  up  to  the  last  furlong.  Promise  was 
the  favorite. 

Agitato  again  beat  De  Bracey  by  the  smallest  of  margins, 
this  time  at  a  mile.      About  half  a  length  behind  the  winner 

,  was  the  third  horse,  Artist.  Sir  Reel,  the  favorite,  ran  a 
most  disappointing  race,  fioishing  a  poor  fourth. 

Zobair  added  laurels  to  the  St.  Saviour  family's  wreath  by 
easilv  beating  Royal    Flush,  Trentola  and  Thornhill  in  the

from  3  to  1.  Viceroy  was  an  8-to-l  shot,  Coquette  20  aod 
Suwanee  30  to  1.  There  was  a  long  delay  at  the  post,  princi- 
pally on  account  of  Clancy  not  breaking  with  Malo  Diablo. 
Finally  the  flag  fell,  and  the  order  was  Victory,  Coquette, 
Malo  Diablo.  Victory  was  first  to  the  half-p  ile  by  two 
lengths,  Kai  Moi  second,  a  head  from  Malo  Diablo,  Capt. 
Coster  a  good  fourth,  having  run  up  like  a  shot.  Kai  Moi 
gained  fast  on  Victory  as  they  neared  the  homestretch,  into 
which  Victory  was  first  by  a  head,  Capt.  Coster  third,  two 
lengths  off.  Kai  Moi  came  away  in  the  last  furlong  and  won 
easily  by  three  lengths  from  Victory,  who  was  as  far  from 
Capt.  Coster,  who  beat  Malo  Diablo  two  lengths  for  the  show.

Jones'  urging,  and  in  the  last  stride  won  by  a  nose  from  Prom-

at  3  to  1,  Agitato  4,  Artist  4o-  and  Alexis  10  to  1.  To  a  fair 
start  De  Bracey  led  with  Agitato  second  and  Alexis  third. 
At  the  quarter  Artist  was  three  lengths  to  the  good,  Sir  Reel 
second,  two  lengths  from  Agitato,  on  whom  De  Bracey  was 
lapped.  At  the  half-pole  Artist  had  increased  his  lead  to  five 
lengths,  and  Agitato  had  closed  up  to  within  half  a  length  of 
Sir  Reel,  De  Bracey  fourth,  two  lengths  further  away.  Madi- 
son called  on  the  latter  soon  after  passing  the  half-pole,  and 
be  had  run  "up  second,  three  lengths  behind  Artist,  as  they 
swung  around  to  make  the  fight  down  the  homestretch. 
Chevalier,  on  Agitato,  made  a  close  turn  against  the  rails  and 
made  up  a  lot  of  ground.  He  was  in  front  a  little  over  a  six- 
teenth from  home.and  opened  up  a  half  a  length  on  Artist.  De 

Bracey  came  at  him  like  a  bulldog  at  the  close,  and  had  the 
race  been  20  yards  further  would  have  won.  As  it  was  Agi- 
tato was  first  by  a  head,  De  Bracey  second,  half  a  length  from 
Artist,  who  beat  Sir  Reel  five  lengths.  Time,  1:45 J.  Sir 
Reel  is  indeed  an  erratic  cuss,  never  running  two  races  alike.

was  fair.  At  the  half-pole  the  first  three  mentioned  were 
bunched,  necks  apart,  Thornhill  five  lengths  in  the  back- 
ground. For  a  moment  between  the  half  and  three-quarter 
poles  Royal  Flush  showed  in  front,  but  Zobair  soon  out  footed 
him,  and  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a  neck,  Royal  Flush  in 
the  place,  two  lengths  from  Trentola,  Thornhill  closing  up, 
another  length  away.  Royal  Flush  and  Zobair  ran  close  to- 
gether until  less  than  a  sixteenth  from  home,  when  Peters 
gave  the  latter  his  head,  and  he  came  away  and  won  easily 
by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Royal  Flush  being  second,  three 
I  Ienglhs  from  Trentola,  who  beat  Thornhill  as  far.  Time,

The  breeding  of  trotters  at  Rancho  del  Paso  excepting  in 
a  verv  tew  ca^es  is  suspended  this  year.  The  broodmares  will 
raise  the  foals  they  have  and  take  a  rest. 

'•  No  purse  less  than  $1,00  '  I  "  Seek  the  advertisement  in 
this  issue  with  that  camion  and  you  will  see  how  important 
it  is  for  you  to  get  an  entry  in  at  once. 

■liuw  Dcstiv,  the  well-known  koight  of  the  sulky,  is 
seriously  contemplating  taking  his  trio  of  good  trotters,  Shy- 
lock,  Bo'nner  N.  B.  and  Red  Oak,  East  this  year. 

With  American  horses  going  to  Europe,  the  demand  for 
American  buggies  is  created.  They  are  superseding  those  of 
foreign  make  on  the  streets  of  London  and  Paris. 

P.  W.  Loebee  will  have  several  very  promising  trotters 
and  pacers  out  this  year.  He  will  take  his  string  of  horses  to 
the  excellent  track  on  the  To  Kalon  Stock  Farm. 

McM i Neville  Maid,  2:22,  will  not  go  to  California  for 
training,  savs  the  Rural  Spirit,  but  will  be  kept  at  borne  and 
handled  by  Charley  Woods,  her  former  trainer  and  driver. 

If  the  owners  of  Regal  Wilkes,  2:113  and  Rupee, '2:11,

horses.  

Geo.  Gray  is  working  a  splendid  string  of  trotters  and 
Pacers  at  Meek's  track  at  Sao  Lorenzo.  Mr.  Gray  is  a  splen- 
did horseman  and  we  expect  he  will  have  something  good 
when  the  bell  rings.         

CfiARi-EV  Ford,  2:12A,  and  Koyal  Prince, 2:241,  both  by 
Dexter  Prince,  will  be  brought  through  the  Grand  Circuit

meeting  at  Hamilton,  Ont. 

Geo.  A.  Kelley  and  R,  E.  Davidson,  of  Dayton,  Wash., 
have  gone  to  Denver  with  five  head  of  trotters  to  attend  the 
.lune  meeting.  They  will  try  to  carry  the  colors  ol  the  inland 
Empire  to  victory  in  the  land  of  gold. 

The  Chicago  Horseman  of  April  2let  publishes  an  excel- 
lent likenevof  Klamath,  2:13}.  It  would  not  surprise  us  if 
this  horse  would  remain  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  notwithstand- 
ing  he  is  heavily  engaged  in   the  East. 

CHAA  Mabvth  reports  that  Answer  is  in  good  condition 
and  feeling  well  enough  to  beat  2:10.  Ab  There  is  also  said

THE  Country  Club  at  Colorado  Springs,  Colo.,  is  anxious  to 
have  the  i  includea  polo  bout  in  the  programme 

at  the  Overland   in   June.    The  DuBois   Bros,  are  trotting

owned  by  Joseph  Rose,  of  Isleton,  a  place  on  Grand  Island, 
Sacramento  County,  and  Mr.  Matthews,  who  is  training  bim, 
has  every  reason  to  believe  he  has  a  colt  that  will  enter  the 
2:30  list  this  year.  

Tho?.  Smith,  of  Vallejo,  has  in  training  two  very  6ne  two- 
year-old  colts  by  Pilot  Prince.  One  is  called  Pilot  Nelson 
^dam  bv  John  Nelson),  and  the  other  Pilot  Reno  (dam  by.

"  The  opportunity  of  a  lifetime !  "  will  be  the  exclamation 
of  all  who  look  carefully  through  the  catalogue  of  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm  sale,  to  take  place  neJt  month  at  the  farm. 
We  have  seen  the  individuals,  and  can  state  without  fear  of 
contradiction  thai  there  is  not  a  "cull"  in  the  entire  lot. 
The  youngsters  are  simply  grand,  and  will  be  creditable  to 
whoever  gets  them.  

It  is  now  stated  that  C.C.  Mel  ver,  the  famous  wine  maker  of 
Mission  San  Jose,  has  leased  both  Directum,  2:05},  and  Elec- 
tron, 2:20,  for  this  year,  and  has  turned  them  over  to  Orrin 
A.  Hickok  to  train.  Mr.  Mclver  is  one  of  the  most  progres- 
sive men  in  California,  an4  if  he  gets  a  6table  of  trotters  and 
pacers  to  send  East  it  will  contain  a  number  of  very  good 
ones,  this  we  can  depend  upon. 

YOUNG  men  who  are  desirous  of  owning  fast  trotters  that 
have  individuality,  as  well  as  speed/should  attend  the  sale 
which  is  to  take  place  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  next 
month.  Individuals  as  tine  as  these,  and  which  are  known 
to  have  inherited  speed  and  gameness,  will  be  sold  that  will 
be  worth  ten  times  what  they  cost  when  they  are  one  year 
old.     Watch  our  advertising  columns. 


In  New  York  City  the  first  of  May  is  called  "  Movine 
Day."  In  California  the  fiistofMay  is  "entry  closing  day," 
and  the  difference  between  the  two  is  so  great  that  horsemen 
should  be  moving  rapidly  toward  getting  their  entries  mailed 
in  time.  Entries  for  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association's  great 
Summer  meeting  will  be  closed  next  Tuesday. 


J  as.  Berrymak  is  busily  engaged  handling  a  string  of 
trotters  on  the  track  at  the  To  Kalon  Slock  Farm.  Panjabi, 
the  magnificently-bred  son  of  Patron,  is  doing  very  well  and 
the  same  can  truthfully  be  said  of  Errand,  Grandettaand  the 
balance  of  his  horses.  The  track  is  unexcelled  for  iissafeness, 
elasticity  of  surface  and  excellent  condition.  Horses  never 
get  sore  on  it  and  as  no  better  reinsman  can  be  found  any 
where  than  Mr.  Berryman,  every  animal  in  his  care  shows 
that  thev  are  in  an  artist's  bands. 


In  the  Year  Books,  eversince  the  first  one  appeared,  Edward 
Everett  81  is  published  as  being  by  Hambletonian  10,  out  of

In  horses  the  pulse  at  rest  beats  forty  times  a  minute.  It 
may  be  felt  wherever  a  big  artery  crosses  a  bone,  it  is  gen- 
erally felt  in  the  horse  where  it  crosses  over  the  bone  of  the 
lower  jaw  in  front  o  i!s  curved  position,  or  in  the  bony  ridge 
above  the  eye.  Any  material  variation  of  the  pulse  from  the 
above  mav  be  considered  as  a  sign  of  disease.  I  f  rapid,  hard 
and  full,  it  is  an  indication  of  high  fever  or  inflammation  ; 
if  rapid,  small  and  weak,  low  fever,  loss  of  blood  or  weakness. 
If  slow,  the  possibilities  point  to  brain  disease,  and  if  irregu- 
lar, to  heart  troubles.  This  is  one  of  the  principal  and  sure 
tests  of  the  health  of  an  animal. 


If  the  trottirg  horse  is  really  like  other  business  proper- 
ties dependent  upon  an  earning  capacity  for  a  selling  value, 
certainly  the  trottiDg  horse  business  is  just  now  entering  the 
springtime  of  great  prosperity,  for  never  before  could  a  trotter 
or  pacer  earn  so  much  money  as  during  the  coming  season, 
and  in  turn  horses  with  speed  were  never  before  actually 
worth  as  much  money  as  at  present.

about  one  mile  and  a  half  outside  of  Winchester,  Preble 
County,  Ohio,  the  property  of  an  old  lady  named  Flora  Bet- 
sey. She  sold  her  for  (75  to  Mr.  Clawsoo's  grandfather,  J. 
R.  Clawson,  of  Winchester.  He  saw  she  had  a  very  speedy 
way  of  going,  and  sold  her  to  Dan  Woodmansie,  of  Butler 
Count?,  who  had  achieved  great  fame  as  a  driver  and  trainer 
even  at  that  time. 

It  is  reported  that  over  one  hundred  horses  are  being 
worked  over  the  covered  track  at  Meadville,  Pa.,  and  that 
there  is  quite  a  lot  of  speed  developed  for  the  early  races. 
Last  year  a  great  many  trainers,  especially  in  the  West, 
scoffed  at  the  covered  track  theory,  but  when  they  started 
against  the  animals  that  were  trained  on  these  tracks  they 
were  compelled  to  admit  that  that  system  of  training  had  not 
impaired  their  speed.       

There  will  be  some  good  racing  at  the  Santa  Ana  track 
May  Day,  including  a  sensational  race  between  Klamath  and 
Jingler-  Jennie  June,  Bill  Nye  and  Ketchum  worked  out 
together  Tuesday,  and  made  the  last  quarter  in  35  seconds,  a 
2:20  gait.  These  three  are  entered  in  a  race  for  May  Day, 
and  with  them  will  start  Snowball,  a  three-year-old,  equally 
East  Klamath  trotted  a  very  fast  half-mile  Monday,  and  Jin* 
cler,  Klamath  and  Halm's  Richmond,  pacer,  worked  out 
Tuesday.  These  three  will  be  in  a  race  May  Day  at  the  fair 
grounds  and  a  two-minute  gait  will  be  shown. 

In  discussing  the  rapid  advances  of  the  American  trotter 
some  writers  seemed  inclined  to  credit  the  increase  of  speed 
entirely  to  improvement  in  the  horses.  We  are  willing  to 
take  the  stand  in  support  of  the  belief  that  now  the  trotters 
and  pacers,  as  a  rule,  are  more  speedy  than  ever  before,  but 
cannot  overlook  the  feet  that  the  modern  sulky  is  much  more 
conducive  to  speed  than  were  the  lumbering  carts  of  the  boy- 
hood day-  of  I'm  Mace.  Also  in  the  early  days  there  were 
do  California  Track  Harrows  in  existence  and  many  of  the 
ore  about  as  unkempt  as  the  garden  of  the  man  of 
words  and  not  of  deeds.  There  has  been  improvement  in 
breeding  and  developing,  but  they  have  not  yet  accomplished 
sufficiently  great  results  to  justify  the  breeders  in  sitiingdown 
in  the  midst  of  contentment, — Western  Breeder. 


Fine  broodmares  by  Le  Grande,  ArthurtOD,  Del  Sur,  Fallis 
and  Buccaneer,  with  foals  by  Guy  Wilkes,  Sable  Wilkes, 
Regal  Wilkes  and  Rupee  at  their  sides,  will  be  sold  at 
the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  sale.  All  of  these  mares  that 
have  foals  old  enough  (say  nine  days)  previous  to  the  sale 
will  be  bred  to  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  stallions. 
These  broodmares  have  been  selected  by  Mr.  Corbitt  on 
account  of  individuality  to  be  bred  to  these  stallions,  and  a 
great  number  of  them  have  been  bred  and  raised  by  him, and 
have  already  proven  their  worth.  Owners  of  stock  farms 
who  desire  to  get  representatives  of  the  most  famous  families 
should  attend  the  sale. 

If  living,  Sultan  would  now  be  nineteen.  He  was  foaled  in 
1S75,  but  was  cut  off  two  years  ago,  when  only  seventeen.  To- 
day he  stands  as  the  sire  of  thirty-two  list  performers,  all 
trotters  but  one,  the  one  exception  being  Saladin,  2:05$, 
holder  of  the  race  record  for  pacing  stallions.  Heading  his 
roster  of  trotters  is  an  ex-champion  of  trotting  stallions — 
Stamboul,  2:07f,  beyond  peradventure  one  of  the  best  ever 
foaled  in  this  country.  On  down  through  the  list  are  scat- 
tered eight  trotters  that  have  records  in  2:20  or  better,  but 
still  more  notable,  a  perfect  galaxy  of  colt  trotters.  In  the 
matter  of  getting  early  and  natural  speed  it  is  doubtful  if  his 
superior  ever  lived.  Electioneer  could  be  the  only  one,  and, 
considering  the  difference  in  opportunities,  even  this  may  be 
regarded  as  doubtful.  The  Sultans  were  born  trotters,  so 
purely-gaited  and  coming  to  their  speed  so  early  that  simplv 
by  virtue  of  it  they  lifted  their  sire  from  obscurity  and 
made  him  one  of  the  most  popular  and  sensational  of  trotting 
sires. 

Samuel  Gamble,  the  Californian,  in  speaking  of  the 
prospects  of  a  race  between  Fantasy  and  Directum,  at  the 
coming  Buffalo  meeting,  said  :  "If  such  a  match  should  be 
made  I  am  quite  sure  that  Fantasy  would  beat  the  black 
horse.  She  will  have  the  advantage  of  having  had  plenty  of 
work  and  early  training  at  the  covered  track,  while  Directum 
will  hardly  be  in  shape  to  go  a  race,  after  his  long  shipment 
from  California,  where  he  is  to  make  a  season  in  the  stud. 
Then,  too,  he  will  come  to  Buffalo  from  the  high  Colorado 
altitude,  and  the  climatic  change  will  unfit  bim  for  such  a 
race  as  Fantasy  would  be  sure  to  give  him.  There  is  another 
point  also  to  consider:  Directum  does  not  get  to  his  speed 
like  some  horses  do,  and  it  will  probably  be  late  in  the  season 
I  when  he  is  as  good  as  he  was  last  year.  In  my  opinion  it 
will  be  a  mistake  to  make  a  match  with  the  California  cham- 
pion earlier  than  September,  when  he  ought  to  be  good 
enough  to  beat  all 

The  fact  that  trotting  races  have  come  to  be  a  part  of  the 
recognized  sports  on  the  Continent  of  Europe  and  in  England 
may  have  something  to  do  with  the  intenai  recently  shown 
among  society  people  in  the  harness  horse.  That  is  neither 
here  nor  there,  so  long  as  it  results  in  a  growing  appreciation 
of  and  a  love  for  one  of  the  best  types  of  horse  ever  bred. 
Europeans  have  become  appreciative  purchasers  of  Ameri- 
can-bred horses,  and  the  demand  is  one  that  is  constantly 
growing.  The  Europeans  buy  inte'ligenlly,  too,  and  show  a 
very  sensible  disregard  of  the  "standard/"  which  has  come  to 
be  the  shelter  for  a  lot  of  weeds  and  utterly  worthless  ani- 
mals. The  European  buys  a  horse  solely  because  he  is  a  good 
individual,  and  he  cares  not  one  iota  whether  the  dam  is  from 
a  trotting  family,  a  pacing  family,  a  thoroughbred  family,  or 
whether  her  pedigree  runs  back  "into  the  scrub."  It  is  the 
horse  he  wants  and  not  the  pedigree.  There  is  a  lot  of  sense 
in  that  sort  of  buying,  and  Americans  would  do  well  lo  imi- 
tate it.  A  horse  with  a  magnificent  pedigree  and  no  speed 
is  about  as  valuable  as  a  handsome  steam  yacht  without  a 
boiler.  

H.  B.  Gof.ham,  Freeport,  III.,  writes  to  the  Western  Horse- 
man as  follows :  In  your  issue  of  March  23,  on  page  132,  un- 
der the  head  of  "  California  Clippidgs,"  I  read  with  much 
interest  an  item  in  regard  to  Old  Bally,  a  bald  face.  bUck 
mare  by  Tiger  Whip,  that  died  at  J.  (i.  Hill's  place,  Ven- 
tura, Ventura  county,  Cal.,  age  thirty-four  years.  It  further 
stated  that  Tiger  Whip  was  brought  here  from  Kentucky  and 
was  owned  by  Messrs.  Tormey  &  Fagan,  at  Pinole,  Contra 
Costa  county,  Cal.  Now  in  connection  with  the  above,  1  will 
make  mention  of  a  horse  of  that  name,  and  probably  of  the 
same  strain  or  blood  that  was  owned  in  Freeport,  111.,  away 
back  in  the  forties.  Tiger  Whip  was  a  small  daople  gray 
stallion,  weighing  about  1,000  pounds,  foaled  in  1S4-.  He 
was  bred  in  Kentucky  and  was  sired  by  Old  Tiger  Whip. 
From  what  I  can  learn  of  that  family  they  were  running 
horses,  hut  as  to  what  per  cent,  of  thoroughbred  blood  they 
carried  I  have  been  unable  to  learn.  Tiger  Whip  was  owned 
by  William  Brandendall,  at  Freeport,  III.  He  ran  several 
races  and  was  quite  a  fast  quarter  horse.  Hri  get  were  rither 
inclined  to  be  small,  but  were  very  wiry  and  lough,  and  had 
considerable  speed.  [The  Tiger  Whip  that  was  in  California 
was  coal  black  in  color,  but  in  every  other  respect  resembled 
the  horse  Mr.  Gorham  remembers. — En]

THE  SADDLE. 


Thornhill  has  won  eleven  events  daring  his  racing  ca- 
reer. v  

DeBracey  is  rated  as  the  best  three-year-old  thus  far 
shown  at  the  local  track  and  Alesia  the  best  filly  of  the  same 
age.  

Col.  Caleb  Dorset,  the  Oakdale  breeder,  was  down  to  at- 
tend the  races  last  Saturday.  His  health  is  improving 
rapidly.  

Lady  Helen,  by  Duke  of  Norfolk,  dam  Jennie  R.,  by 
Hubbard,  foaled  a  beautiful  filly  by  imp.  Paramatta  on  the 
14ih  inst.  

A  chestnut  colt  with  three  white  feet  and  a  blaze  face 
was  foaled  last  Wednesday  at  Sacramento  by  imp.  Loyalist, 
dam  Spray  (dam  of  the  good  filly  Ciaudie. ) 

Hova,  a  three-year-old  by  Ingomar — Happy  Land,  won 
the  Bourke  Handicap,  seven  furlongs,  at  Melbourne,  Victo- 
ria, in  1:27$,  carrying  122  pounds. 

John  J.  Case  has  sold  to  John  W.  Morris  of  this  city,  the 
black  mare  Kathleen,  by  Little  Alp,  dam  untraced.  Consid- 
eration, $o-50.  flathleen  is  quite  a  speedy  sprinter  and  quite 
consistent. 

The  stable  of  White  £  Clark,  containing  Tim  Murphy, 
Whitestone  and  Clara  White,  left  Tuesday  for  Hawthorne 
Park,  Chicago.  Barney  Schreiber's  good  gelding,  Braw  Scot, 
went  along  with  the  others. 

Eugene  Leigh,  finding  that  some  one  Saturday  night  had 
endeavored  to  duplicate  the  Clifford  theft  of  last  year  by  at- 
t3mpiing.to  steal  the  valuable  imported  mare  Lady  Wenlock, 
will  brand  every  mare  he  owns,  over  one  hundred  in  all, 
under  the  mane. 


Willie  Spence,  the  clever  jockey  who  was  ruled  off  on 

account  of  a  little  trouble  he  had  with  Starter  Ferguson  a 

fevr  weeks  ago,  has  been  reinstated,  and  will  ride  the  Pueblo 

,  Stable  horses  of  Naglee  Burk  this  season.    Spence  is  thor- 

.  oughly  honest  and  a  determined  rider,  and   local  race-goers 

will  be  glad  to  hear  of  his  reinstatement. 


W.  Hafly,  the  jockey,  has  three  horses  in  training  at  the 
local  track  belonging  to  Mrs.  A.  J.  Merchar  t,  of  Pixley,  Cal. 
Two  are  three-year-olds  by  War  Sign  (son  of  War  Dance), 
one  a  filly  out  of  Leila,  the  other  a  colt  out  of  Mary  M. 
O'Bee  is  the  third  horse  in  the  string. 

That  very  popular  racing  official.  Jam-.  ^  Rowe,  now  that 
Judge  Joseph  Burke  has  concluded  to  go  West,  will  in  all 
likelihood  be  appointed  presiding  judge  by  the  Jockey  Club 
recently  formed  in  the  far  East,  and  if  that  comes  about  a 
splendid  starter  will  in  all  likelihocd  be  lost  to  the  world. 

Old  Raceland  surprised  everybody  at  Gravesend  on  April 
20th  by  jumping  off  and  running  the  fastest  mile  of  the  sea- 
son, 1:46*.  The  marvelous  old  fellow  was  as  frisky  as  a  two- 
year-old  afterward.  He  would  have  gone  faster  if  Hardy 
Campbell  had  not  kept  waving  at  Sims  to  hold  him  back. 

The  Darebin — Nellie  Peyton  filly  that  started  Thursday  is 
a  likely-looking  miss,  and  was  made  favorite  on  reports  from 
Rancho  del  Paso,  ia  all  probability.  Nellie  Peyton  has 
thrown  a  couple  of  good  ones,  and  was  a  very  fair  race  mare 
in  her  day.  She  is  by  imp.  Hurrah,  Sam  Emily  Peyton,  by 
Lexington. 

Garpison  weighs  121  pounds,  and  has  no  fear  that  he  will 
be  able  to  make  the  118  pounds  necessary  to  give  him  the 
motiLt  on  AjiX  next  May.  He  recently  said  he  had  promised 
Colonel  Ruppert  to  ride  his  horse  for  the  Brooklyn,  and  was 
going  to  do  iL  He  looks  very  thin  and  spare,  but  claims  he 
is  in  good  health.  

Hyderabad  is  said  to  be  broken  down.  He  had  been  do- 
ing well  up  to  about  two  weeks  ago,  when  he  went  lame  and 
was,  of  course,  let  up  in  his  work.  It  now  develops  that  the 
trouble  is  more  serious  than  at  first  believed,  and  those  who 
have  seen  bim  recently  say  it  is  doubtful  if  ever  he  faces  the 
starter  again. 

Judge  Joseph  J.  Bcrke  has  been  selected  by  the  direc- 
tors of  the  St.  Louis  Fair  Association  as  general  manager  of 
the  racing  department  of  the  association  for  the  coming  sea- 
son. Judge  Burke  will  take  hold  at  once.  He  is  now  in  St. 
Louis,  in  response  to  a  telegram  from  the  fair  directors,  and 
after  consultation  with  them  accepted  their  offer. 

While  here  this  week,  Mr.  B.  J.  Johnson  offered  Charlie 
McMeekin  $10,000  for  Fonso,  which  was  declined.  This 
pretty  clearly  indicates  that  a  good  thoroughbred  horse, 
whether  a  sire  or  racing,  will  bring  as  much  money  now  as 
ever  before.  Mr.  Johnson  owns  Rudolph,  and  be  likes  him 
so  well  that  he  wants  his  sire. — Livestock  Record,  Lexing- 
ton, Ky.  

Jockey  Cassia,  who  rode  five  winners  out  of  six  races  at 
New  Orleans  recently,  is  a  boy  that  has  been  riding  only 
about  a  year,  and  is  but  sixteen  years  old.  As  he  can  ride  at 
about  90  pounds,  and  heads  the  list  of  winninsr  jockeys  at  the 
New  Orleans  meeting,  he  should  make  a  name  for  himself  in 
the  near  future. 

Col.  J.  T.  North  has  announced  his  intention  of  selling 
oat  his  stad  and  stable  this  season,  "  lock,  stock  and  barrel-7' 
He  has,  however,  no  intention  of  retiring  from  the  turf,  but 
will  begin  to  buy  again  at  once.  His  present  stock  is  not  up 
to  the  mark  on  an  average,  and  as  he  cannot  get  a  sale  for  the 
bad  ones  alone  he  will  sell  the  whole  lot  and  start  fresh. 


Scwanee,  the  filly  booked  to  start  on  Thursday  last, 
is  the  first  animal  of  the  equine  genus  ever  got  by  means 
of  artificial  impregnation.  Dr.  C.  E.  Farnum.of  this  city, 
performed  the  operation  in  the  presence  of  a  number  of 
prominent  turfmen,  and  columns  upon  columns  have  been 
written  by  Dr.  Farnum  and  others  npon  this  interesting  sub- 
ject. Suwanee  is  by  imp.  Suwarrow,  dam  Sister  to  Ruth 
Ryan  (dam  of  Quarterstaff),  bj  Lodi. 


Col.  L.  P.  Tarlton,  one  of  the  best-posted  turfmen  in 
the  country  thinks  that  the  whip  and  spurs  should  rarely  be 
used.  He  thinks  that  when  a  horse  is  doing  his  best  that 
punishment  cannot  make  him  do  better,  but  is  more  likely 
to  dishearten  him  and  cause  bim  to  stop.  He  believes  in 
encouraging  a  horse  by  clucking  to  him,  punching  him  with 
the  heels  and  slipping  him  on  the  sboulder,all  of  which  show 
to  the  bore  that  the  jockey  is  trying  to  help  all  he  can.  Of 
course,  says  Col.  Tarlton,  in  a  close  race  a  keen  cut  with  a 
a  whip,  right  on  the  wire,  may  be  necessary  in  order  to  win, 
and  then  it  is  advisable,  but  he  is  doubtful  of  the  advisability 
of  punishing  a  horse  all  the  way  down  the  stretch.  The 
Record  fully  agrees  with  Col.  Tarlton  io  these  opinions. —

Leigh  &  Rose  have  bought  of  Cushiog  &  Schorr  the  well- 
known  five-year-old  bay  horse  Wightmao,  by  Bramble,  dam 
Planchett,  by  Bro^n  Dick,  for  $1,250.  They  also  have  traded 
with  Jockey  R.  Williams,  the  bay  (illy  Patria  111,  by  Jils 
Johnson,  dam  Lilly  K.,by  King  Alfonso,  for  Bal  Gal, by  imp. 
Pirate  of  Penzance,  dam  Vivacity,  by  Virgil,  and  will  breed 
the  latter  to  Reporter. 

Articl'S.  the  crack  three-year-old  owned  by  George  Van 
Gordon  was  not  expected  to  live  on  Monday, says  the  Chron- 
icle. The  son  of  Argyle  bad  an  attack  of  luug  fever,  and  but 
for  timely  aid  would  have  succumbed.  The  colt  bas  been  ail- 
ing for  several  days,  which  accounts  for  his  poorshos . 

His  last  race.     Ten  thousand  dollars  were  ottered  for  Articus 
a  few  months  since. 

J.  J.  Case  of  Modesto,  Cal.,  has  two  Brutus  colts,  a  year- 
ling and  a  two-year-old,  out  of  mares  by  imp.  Kelpie  and 
imp.  Partisan,  and  also  owns  a  filly  by  imp.  Friar  Tuck,  dam 
Josie  D.,  by  Joe  Daniels,  and  a  suckling  colt  by  imp.  Green- 
back from  Josie  D.  He  thinks  well  of  all  of  them,  and  be- 
lieves that  the  care  being  bestowed  upon  them  will  result  in 
some  race  horses  coming  to  the  post. 

Great  interest  is  being  taken  in  the  yearling  sale  of  St. 
Saviours  and  Greenbacks  booked  for  next  Monday  at  Killip 
&  Co.'s  salesyard.  At  1  p.  m.,  the  hour  appointed  for  the 
beginning  of  the  sale,  a  representative  gathering  of  horse- 
men will  be  on  hand,  and  some  lively  bidding  is  expected. 
These  youngsters  are  from  the  "royal  families,"  and  every- 
thing offered  is  gilt-edged.  Secure  a  catalogue  of  Killip  & 
Co.,  22  Montgomery  street,  pick  out  a  few  good  ones  and  be 
on  hand  promptly  at  1  o'clock  next  Monday. 

A  suit  for  -$60,000  damages  has  been  begun  in  a  New 
York  court  against  Foxhall  Keene,  James  Keene  and 
Albert  Cooper,  of  the  racing  firm  of  Keene  &  Cooper.  The 
suit  is  brought  by  Thomas  Ray,  a  stable  boy  and  jockey,  who 
used  to  ride  for  the  Keenes.  The  complaint  alleges  that  the 
boy  was  compelled  on  August  22,  1S91,  to  ride  "a  dangerous 
and  crazy  horse,"  and  that  he  was  thrown  from  the  horse,  his 
skull  crushed,  and  his  leg  broken.  Thomas  Ray,  an  uncle  of 
the  plaintiff,  was  appointed  his  guardian,  as  the  Hoy  is  only 
13  years  old. 

That  mysterious  and  inscrutable  body,  the  Jockey  Club, 
has  decided  not  to  allow  jockeys  to  own  racehorses.  Thisde- 
cision  will  be  incorporated  into  the  new  rules  which  will  be 
presented  to  turfmen  as  a" souvenir  next  Christmas.  "  I  have 
been  told  about  the  new  rules,"  said  "Snapper"  Garrison  re- 
cently." I  believe  tbey  will  give  us  a  year  to  sell  our  horses." 
The  new  rule  will  aftect  many  of  the  leading  jockeys  in  the 
East.  Among  those  who  own  horses  are  McCafierty,  Garri- 
son, Bergen,  Doggett,  Fitzpatrick,  Griffin,  Donobue  and  Isaac 
Murphy.  The  man  at  whom  the  rule  is  probably  aimed,  and 
who  will  certainly  be  most  affected  by  it,  is  McCafferty. 

The  programme  of  local  races  for  next  week  contains  the 
commencement  of  several  stake  events,  one  of  which  is  slated 
for  as  late  as  May  19lh,  consequently  the  horsemen  need  not 
have  any  apprehension  in  regard  to  reported  early  closing  of 
the  present  meeting.  The  stake  races,  entries  to  which  close 
on  Thursday,  April  26th,  are  as  follows  :  The  Flash  stake,  i 
handicap  at  five  furlongs  for  two-year-olds,  guaranteed  value 
$7-50;  The  Bay  District  handicap,  for  three-year-olds,  at  one 
mile,  guaranteed  value  $7-50,  and  the  California  handicap, 
for  all  ages,  at  one  and  one-sixteenth  miles,  the  guaranteed 
value  to  be  SI, 000.  

Judge  Joseph  J.  Bcrke  met  a  committee  of  the  Jockey 
Club  yesterday  afternoon,  and  formally  declined  the  position 
of  presiding  judge  at  the  tracks  over  which  that  body  bas 
jurisdiction.  He  staled  that  his  reason  for  doing  so  was  two- 
fold. First,  the  Washington  Park  Club  of  Chicago  refused 
to  release  him  from  a  verbal  contract  he  had  made  with  that 
association  last  year,  and,  second,  he  had  received  an  offer 
from  the  new  St.  Louis  association  that  he  wished  to  accept. 
His  circuit  will  now  comprise  Washington  Park,  Chicago, 
Saratoga  and  St.  Louis,  the  latter  place  for  which  he  will 
leave  Sunday  night. — X.  Y.  Sporting  World,  April  14th. 

Capt.  R.  J.  Hancock,  of  the  jJllerslieStud.  Overton,  Va., 
has  been  experiencing  a  run  of  bad  luck  lately,  that  is  as  re- 
markable as  it  is  unfortuoate,  says  Daily  America  and  Mer- 
cury. Thomasia,  by  Eolus,  died  in  foaling  a  filly  to  imp.

(dam  of  Knight  of  Ellerslie),  by  Scathelock,  one  of  the  best 
known  broodmares  in  the  country,  died  from  the  effects  of  an 
accident  in  ber  paddock.  A  yearling  chestnut  colt,  by  imp. 
Charaxus,  out  of  Ninone,  by  Eolns,  and  a  yearling  bay  filly 
bv  Charaxus,  out  of  Grace  Young,  by  Eolus,  also  both  died. 
The  latter  was  bred  on  shares  with  J.  E.  McDonald.  Finally 
ihe  yearling  sister  to  Eolian,  by  Eolus-Calash,  by  imp. 
Pbit-ton,  fell,  while  romping  about  her  paddock,  and  broke 
her  leg.  This,  of  course,  has  ruined  her  for  racing  purposes, 
thnngh  the  attempt  is  being  made  to  save  her  for  breeding 
purposes. 

A  large  number  of  horses  at  present  quartered  at  the  lo- 
cal course  will  take  in  the  Oregon  and  Montana  circuits  this 
season  after  the  close  of  the  meeting  now  in  progress.  Below 
is  a  partial  list  of  the  horsemen  that  have  signified  their  in- 
tention of  going,  together  with  their  strings:  N.  S.  Hall — 
Floodmore,  Fly,  Longwell,  St.  Croix,  Last  Chance,  Jake  Al- 
len, Norlee  and  First  Lap.  James  Garland  and  L.  J.  Rose — 
Gladiola.  Normandie,  Nelson,  Kai  Moi,  Sweet,  Orizaba,  Ho- 
mer aod  Cant  a.  M.J.  Kellv — Tigress  Prince  Idle,  Artist  and 
a  few  others.  Ocean  View  Stable  of  C.  A.  Brown — Charles 
A.,  Queen  of  Scots,  Folly  and  Lonnie  B.  California  Stable  of 
H.  Hoag — Realization,  Model  and  two  others.  Dan 
Miller — Melanita,  King  Sam,  Ida  Glenn.  Relampago  and 
Gordius.  R.  Stipe,  A.  Bertrandias  and  J.  M.  Capps — Lottie 
D.,  Midget,  Toots,  Sands  Forman,  Redlight,  Irish  Johnny 
and  Gypsy  Girl.  S.  G.  Reed  and  L.  C.  White— Peril,  Booze,

Esperance.  In  all  probability  W.  M.  Murry  of  the  Lone 
Stable  will  take  along  a  fine  string. 


Next  Monday,  April  30th,  is  the  date  set  for  tbegreat  sale 
of  Guenoc  Stock  Farm  yearlings  at  Killip  i  Co.'s  salesyard, 
Market  street  aod  Van  Ness  auenue.  The  youngsters  are  bv 
such  celebrated  aires  as  imp.  Greenback  and  St.  Saviour  and 
out  of  royally-bred  mares.  Besides  ibe  yejrlings,  there  will 
be  a  couple  of  grand. broodmares  sold,  the  sale  closing  out  the 
entire  lot  of  thoroughbreds  on  the  farm. 

Richard  Croker  is  willing  to  make  another  match  with 
the  Keenes  and  run  the  Dobbins-Domino  race  over  again. 
Recently  the  Tammany  sachem  and  Mike  Dwyer  looked  over 
their  lots  at  Gravesend,  and  when  Dobbins  finished  his  exer- 
cise Mr.  Croker  expressed  his  willingness  to  make  the  match. 
It  seems,  however,  that  the  Keene  coterie  do  not  want  to  run 
it  over  again.  The  horses  will  meet  before  the  seisoo  is  very 
old,  and  more  unlikely  things  have  happened  than  thai  the 
greatest  two-year-old  winner  the  turf  ever  saw  will  go  down 
in  the  race. 

A  funny  little  game  is  alleged  to  have  actually  occurred 
at  Little  Bridge  race  course.  Coming  up  the  straight  there 
were  only  two  of  them  left  in,  and  there  was  not  more  than 
half  a  length  separating  them.  The  jockey  ou  the  second 
horse,  thinking  to  relieve  the  anxiety  of  the  leading  man, 
suddenly  sang  out:  "All  right  Charlie,  go  on  and  win  :  I  ain't 
a-tryin'."  ''Oh.  ain't  yer?  "  replied  the  other;  "then'ere's 
off,"  saying  which  he  proceeded  to  fall  off',  as  his  orders,  too, 
had  been  of  the  milking  description. — Melbourne  Sportsman. 


The  great  colt  Domino,  unbeaten  in  his  two-year-old  form 
last  year,  has  developed  a  splint.  This  explains  the  mystery 
of  his  non-appearance  at  either  the  Sheepshead  Bay  or 
Brighton  Beach  race  tracks  for  work.  Billy  Lakeland,  who 
trains  Domino,  declares  that  the  splint  is  not  serious,  but, 
nevertheless,  the  firing  irons  have  been  passed  over  the  in- 
jured point-  Sport  is  another  good  horse  that  has  developed 
a  splint.  It  is  a  small  one  and  in  a  few  days  be,  too,  will 
have  to  submit  to  the  operation  known  as  firing.  Owen  Gil- 
pin thinks  that  much  of  Sport's  bad  temper  was  due  to  the 
fact  that  his  splint  was  developing. 

The  only  Derby  winners  in  twenty  years  which  have  done 
really  well  as  four-year-olds  are  Bend  Or,  St.  Gatien,Ormonde 
and  Ayrshire.  Melton  was  not  an  absolute  failure,  if  he  did 
manage  to  win  four  races,  but  he  had  no  chance  with  Or- 
monde when  they  met  at  Ascot  in  ihe  Hardwicke  stakes.  It 
is  in  favor  of  Isinglass  training  on  that  he  is  the  son  of  Ison- 
omy,  thit  being  a  strain  which  usually  lasts  and  develops 
stamina.  We  have  never  yet  seen  a  four-year-old  son  of  St. 
Simon  which  could  win  a  race  over  a  long  distance,  and,  as  a 
rule,the  stock  of  the  Duke  of  Portland's  horse  go  all  to  pieces 
after  their  their  three -year-old  career — notably  Memoir  and 
Signorina,  to  say  nothing  of  La  Fleche. 

FileMaker,  the  big  bay  gelding,  whose  jump  over  a  bar  7 
feet  4-V  inches  from  the  ground  at  Taunton,  Mass.,  October  7, 
1891,  stands  as  the  world's   record,  cleared  a  bar  6  feet  7}  in- 
ches, ridden  by  Madam  Marantelte,  in  Philadelphia,  April 
12.     It  was  an  exhibition  given  for  the  benefit  of  George  W. 
Childs  Drexel  and  friei  ds,  and  when  it  is  considered  that  the 
horse  was  only  two  days  off  the  cars,  afttv  a  journey  across

able  jump.    Ridden  by  John  Taylor  this  ponv  clear  "

Entries   of   California-Bred    Horses. 


The  list  of  entries  published  in  all  the  turf  journals 
of  the  East  contain  many  familiar  names  to  those  who 
are  interested  in  the  trotting  horse  industry  of  the 
Pacific  Coast.  The  mere  fact  that  every  association  in 
the  East  reports  having  received  large  lists  of  entries 
for  the  various  events  is,  in  itself,  most  encouraging,  for 
it  shows  that  owners  and  breeders  have  learned  that  to 
supply  buyers  with  horses  they  must  present  other  in- 
ducements thau  mere  pedigrees.  They  must  show  these 
seekers  after  horses  that  the  animals  they  are  selling 
have  not  only  pedigrees,  but  they  have  individuality 
and  meritorious  performances  to  further  recommend 
them.  In  the  present  order  of  things  individuality  is 
considered  of  greater  importance  than  it  baa  ever  been, 
for  this  qualification  must  also  embrace  natural  speed, 
the  ability  to  be  taught  and  stamina  to  carry  that  speed 
to  the  wire.  Pedigree  is  a  necessity,  and  when  com- 
bined with  these  other  qualifications  enhances  the  value 
of  the  animals  still  more. 

Seven  years  ago  the  fame  of  our  California  bred 
horses  become  world  wide.  The  wonderful  early  phys- 
ical development,  marvelous  flights  of  speed  and  physical 
excellence  combined  with  splendid  pedigrees,  trac- 
ing to  horses  which  came  originally  from  the  East,  yet 
by  their  removal  "to  this  genial  clime  their  produce 
proved  to  be  an  improvement  on  what  they  left  on 
the  other  side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains.  At  every  auc- 
tion sale  buyers  clambered  over  each  other  to  get  some 
of  these  representatives  of  our  California  sires  and 
broodmares.  They  did  not  seek  them  for  racing  pur- 
poses ;  they  wanted  them  to  place  on  their  stock  farms  for 
breeding  purposes.  For  years  very  few  were  developed 
for  speed,  but  as  the  supply  of  common  horses  exceeded 
the  demand  for  first-class  ones  which  were  fine  individ- 
ually and  endowed  with  speed  and  gameness,  these 
owners  became  frightened  at  the  low  prices  the  educated 
buyers  were  paying  for  stock,  and  forthwith  they  re- 
turned droves  of  the  high-priced  stock  they  purchased 
to  the  auction  marts  of  Nsw  York,  Chicago,  Louisville, 
St.  Louis  and  Cleveland,  and  sold  them  for  whatever 
they  wmld  bring.  The  cry  was  heard  on 
all  sides  :  "  The  bottom  has  dropped  out  of  the  trotting 
horse  business,"  and  the  breeders  who  had  fine  horses 
became  panic-stricken  and  hurried  carload  after  carload 
to  the  salesrings,  where  the  very  choicest  as  well  as  the 
poorest  were  sold  at  ridiculously  low  figures.  The  buy- 
ers were  not  to  be  frightened  (although  the  stringency  of 
the  money  market  prevented  many  from  purchasing  all 
they  desired),  but  they  quietly  selected  the  best  ones,  and 
as  the  associations  which  were  advertising  an  increase  in 
purses  to  increase  the  interest  in  racing  were  offer- 
ing liberal  inducements  to  owners,  these  gentlemen  who 
selected  bargains  made  entries  in  all  the  events  they 
could.  They  placed  their  horses  in  the  hands  of  the 
best  trainers  who  were  anxious  to  get  only  the  best, 
whose  preference  for  colts  and  fillies  by  California  sires 
and  out  of  California-bred  dams  was  very  strong,  so  it  can 
be  seen  by  looking  over  the  list  of  entries  of  every  asso- 
ciation in  the  East — without  a  single  exception — that 
this  class  of  trotters  and  pacers  are  in  trie  majority.  The 
great  Guy  Wilkes,  Electioneer,  Sultan,  Mambrino 
Wilkes,  A.  W.  Richmond,  Venture,  Arthurton,  Dexter 
Prince  and  their  sons  and  daughters  are  represented  so 
strongly  tha'  it  is  gratifying  to  every  Californian  to 
know  that  there  will  be  more  of  their  favorite  breeds  of 
horses  on  the  tracks  in  the  East  this  year  than  ever. 
This  will  work  a  three-fold  benefit.  It  will  add  fame 
and  wealth  to  their  owners  and  enhance  the  value  of 
every  relative  of  the  Eastern  equine  standard-bearers 
here. 

In  California  the  story  of  liberal  entries  is  being  re- 
peated. The  purses  are  much  larger  than  they  have  ever 
been  and  the  terms  are  more  liberal,  hence  owners 
and  trainers  can  see  some  hope  of  remuneration  for  their 
services  if  they  develop  their  naturally  fast  trotters  and 
pacers.  It  behooves  them,  therefore,  to  sustain  these  asso- 
ciations by  making  liberal  entries  and  having  their  colts 
ami  fillies  ready  when  the  bell  rings.      There  is  no  time 

In    lose. 


The  Trotting  Breeders'  Opportunity. 
Owners  of  stallions  having  produce  this  year  should 
see  that  their  horse  is  well  represented  in  the  $6,000 
Guaranteed  Stake  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society.  The 
entry  of  a  stallion's  produce  from  a  variety  of  mares  is 
an  advertisement  of  itself,  to  Bay  nothing  of  the  great 
prominence  it  will  give  the  sire  of  the  winners  of  any 
part  of  this  stake.  The  terms  are  most  satisfactory.  It 
is  virtually  a  five  per  cent,  stake,  with  seven  chances  to 
win  money,  either  of  which,  save  one,  will   return  the 


entrance  money  paid.  If  an  owner  elects  to  start  in  the 
two-year-old  division  the  payments  aggregate  8100,  and 
the  money  trotted  for  is  $2,000,  divided  into  three 
moneys.  If  he  decides  to  start  in  the  three-year-old 
event  only,  his  payments  aggregate  $175,  with  four 
chances  to  win  money,  either  of  which  will  more  than 
repay  him  his  entrance.  In  case  he  decides  to  take  a 
shy  at  both  events,  his  payments  aggregate  but  $250, 
and  for  which  he  has,  as  before  stated,  seven  chances  to 
win  money. 

There  are  very  few  opportunities  offered  for  so  little 
money.  The  moment  a  colt  is  nominated  in  rich  stakes 
of  this  kind  his  value  is  enhanced.  It  is  more  preferable 
than  a  Futurity  Stake,  as  the  subscriber  has  the  advan- 
tage of  seeing  his  colt  and  noting  its  formation  before 
subscribing.  We  look  for  a  large  entry  list  of  this  year's 
foals. 


Horsemen,  You  Have  No  Time  to  Lose ! 


The  golden  showers  that  f.dl  during  the  past  few  days 
in  California  have  proved  beneficial  to  every  industry  in 
California.  Farmers,  stock  owners  and  breeders  who 
have  choice  trotters  and  pacers  should  not  forget  that 
hay  will  not  reach  the  high  prices  predicted  a  few  weeks 
ago,  while  bountiful  crops  of  cereals  and  fruits  will  he 
harvested  to  swell  the  bank  accounts  of  our  friends  in 
the  rural  districts.  Everything  looks  bright,  and  prom- 
ising when  these  tillers  of  the  soil,  the  mainstays  of  the 
commonwealth,  are  assured  of  prosperity ;  therefore, 
there  should  be  no  hesitancy  on  the  part  of  owners  and 
trainers  of  light  harness  horses  in  making  entries  for  the 
great  summer  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders'  Association,  at  which  no  purse  will  be 
given  less  than  $1,000.  This  meeting  opens  the  Cali- 
fornia circuit,  and  upon  its  success  depends  in  a  measure 
the  prosperity  of  all  the  others. 

Everyone  interested  in  the  breeding,  raising  and 
developing  of  trotters  and  pacers  on  the  Pacific  Coast  is 
indebted  to  this  live  association  for  the  progressive 
measures  adopted  by  it  in  the  past  to  encourage  and  sus- 
tain the  great  industry  ;  its  liberality  is  world-wide,  and 
the  endeavors  of  its  directors  to  keep  it  in  the  foremost 
rank  of  all  other  associations  of  its  kind  in  the  United 
States  is  commendable,  to  say  the  least. 

The  programme  for  the  summer  meeting  is  pronounced 
anjexcellent  one,  and  to  the  fulfillment  of  every  event  pub- 
lished it  is  necessary  that  every  owner  of  a  promising 
colt,  filly  or  campaigner  should  make  an  entry,  and,  if 
the  owner  is  fortunate  in  owning  several,  he  should  not 
hesitate  a  moment,  but  enter  all  of  them  in  the  various 
events  for  which  they  are  eligible.  As  it  is  the  inten- 
tion of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  this  association  to  make 
this  meeting  one  never  to  be  forgotten,  it  is  necessary 
that  they  should  be  aided  in  every  way  possible  by  horse 
owners  to  make  it  a  success. 

This  appeal  to  them  we  believe  will  not  go  unheeded. 
No  one  knows  better  than  our  intelligent  horsemen  that 
the  future  welfare  of  the  trotting-horse  industry  depends 
upon  the  individuality  and  earning  capacity  of  their 
trotters  and  pacers,  and,  without  an  opportunity  to  show 
that  their  stock  has  individuality  ami  are  able  to  win 
money  in  races,  they  will  be  almost  valueless.  This 
reality  confronts  every  owner,  and  the  invitation  to  en- 
ter their  horses  for  the  big  purses,  such  as  are  offered  at 
this  meeting  becomes  an  imperative  one. 

Next  Tuesday,  May  1st,  entries  to  this  Summer  Meet- 
ing, will  close.  Remember  this,  and  do  not  let  the  days 
pass  without  filling  out  the  blanks  and  sending  them  in  ; 
they  must  have  the  postmark  of  May  1st  (no  later),  or 
they  will  be  ineligible.  Butdo  not  wait  until  the  last 
day  or  hour:  Send  these  blanks  in  at  once  and  then 
your  mind  will  be  easy  and  you  will  feel  that  you  have 
sown  the  seed  which  will  soon  bring  a  bountiful  harvest. 
The  terms  are  liberal  that  everyone  who  reads  the  ad- 
vertisement can  understand  them.  No  money  is  needed 
with  the  entry.  This  is  an  idea  which  ought  to  find  favor 
with  every  horseman  these  days.  The  division  of  the 
purses  in  four  moneys,  .30,  25, 15  and  10  per  cent.,  this  is 
an  innovation  which  will  be  appreciated  by  horsemen, 
besides,  the  old  three-in-five  rule  will  also  prevail,  so 
they  can  have  no  complaints  to  make.  It  will  be 
observed  that  everything  has  been  done  to  please  them. 
It  is  their  opportunity  now  to  return  the  compliment  by 
doing  everything  they  can  by  making  liberal  entries  and 
having  their  horses  ready  to  race  at  the  meeting. 

In  conclusion,  we  wish  to  remind  our  readers  again 
that  entries  will  close  May  1st,  and  this  is  the  last 
notice  published. 


REMEMBER  the  purses  have  been  reopened  for  the 
Golden  Gate  Fair  Association  and  entries  will  close  June 
1st.     See  advertisement  in  this  issue.

THE     "OCCIDENTAL' 


Beady     For 


Business — A  Large 
Promised. 


Membership 


The  following  circular  letter  bas  been  issued  by  the 
Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association,  and  sent  to 
tbe  secretaries  of  the  District  Agricultural  Associations 
and  proprietors  of  tracks  on  this  Coast.  It  sets  forth  a 
few  of  the  advantages  of  membership  in  the  new  organi- 
zation, and  should  be  read  carefully  by  all  those  who 
are  interested  in  this  matter. 

Most  of  the  leading  associations  and  many  of  the 
smaller  ones  have  already  signified  their  intention  of 
joining,  and  with  the  large  membership  promised,  the 
new  organization  instead  of  causing  s.  still  further  split- 
ting up  in  the  government  of  racing  affairs  on  the  Coast, 
will  accomplish  the  greatly-to-be-desired  end  of  uniting 
them  under  a  single  rule.  This  will  be  vastly  better 
than  the  existing  condition  of  things  with  some  of  the 
tracks  belonging  to  the  National  and  some  to  the  Ameri- 
can, and  these  two  associations  at  enmity  to  the  extent 
of  refusing  to  recognize  each  others  suspensions  for 
non-payment  of  entrance. 

It  is  the  intention  of  the  new  organization  not  to  con- 
flict or  clash  in  its  government  with  either  the  National 
or  American,  but  simply  to  provide  for  the  transaction 
of  business  both  judicial  and  clerical  on  this  Coast  with 
much  greater  dispatch,  and  consequently  much  more  sat- 
isfactorily to  its  members  than  would  he  possible  for  the 
National  or  American  to  give  them.  The  object  being 
to  give  the  associations  here  the  same  kind  of  govern- 
ment in  regard  to  racing  rules  and  regulations  that  now 
exist,  and  with  the  same  facilities  for  doing  business  that 
are  enjoyed  by  the  Eastern  associations  which  have  the 
advantage  of  heing  much  nearer  the  headquarters  of 
their  governing  bodies,  and  consequently  for  that  reason 
alone  they  get  much  better  service  than  would  be  possi- 
ble for  our  local  associations  to  receive,  unless  the  two 
thousand  and  more  miles  that  separate  the  East  from 
Pacific  Coast  the  could  be  annihilated. 

For  the  associations  on  this  Coast  to  do  business  with 
the  National  and  American  and  live  up  to  their  require- 
ments relating  to  notification  of  entries,  suspensions, 
etc.,  and  do  so  in  time  to  make  these  notifications  opera- 
tive and  get  returns  from  headquarters  soon  enough  to 
secure  the  best  service,  would  necessitate  the  use  of  the 
telegraph  to  an  extent  that  would  be  appalling,  and  an 
expense  that  would  far  exceed  the  cost  of  membership 
or  the  ability  of  most  associations  to  pay. 

Major  P.  P.  Johnstone,  president  of  the  National  Asso- 
ciation, has  been  visiting  this  coast  in  the  interests  of 
that  organization.  He  came  here  for  the  purpose  of  dis- 
suading the  organizers  of  the  Occidental  from  going  on 
with  the  work,  thinking  that  another  governing  Associa- 
tion would  create  a  confusion  in  rules  and  regulations 
that  would  be  to  the  detriment  of  the  interests  involved. 
When  he  was  told  that  the  Occidental  would  adopt  the 
same  rules  as  the  Eastern  associations,  he  said  :  "  That 
puts  it  in  another  light."  And  while  of  course  he  held 
to  the  purpose  of  his  mission,  still  it  was  evident  that 
he  was  disarmed  as  far  as  his  principal  argument  against 
the  formation  of  the  new  association  was  concerned.  He, 
as  well  as  Secretary  Steiner  of  the  American,  who 
recently  visited  this  city  on  a  similar  errand,  claimed 
that  their  members  on  this  coast  cost  their  associations 
more  than  they  received  from  them.  This  is  no  doubt 
true  when  taking  into  consideration  the  expensive  trips 
of  their  Pacific  Coast  representatives  to  the  East  and 
return  to  attend  the  general  meetings  and  congresses  of 
these  associations,  which  expense,  by  the  way,  is  one 
that  will  not  figure  in  the  disbursements  of  the  Occi- 
dental. 

It  being  true  that  the  Pacific  Coast  Associations  are 
an  expense  to  the  parent  Associations,  and,  furthermore, 
it  being  true  that  the  new  organization  out  here  will 
adopt  the  rules  and  regulations  of  the  Eastern  Associa- 
tions, it  looks  as  though  the  Eastern  organizations 
wished  to  retain  their  Pacific  Coast  members  merely  as 
a  matter  of  sentiment,  for  surely  if  the  government  as 
far  as  racing  affairs  is  the  same,  and  from  a  monetary 
standpoint  they  are  not  a  source  of  profit,  no  other  reason 
can  exist.  When  it  comes  to  a  matter  of  sentiment, 
combined  with  the  great  advantages  offered,  the  Pacific 
Coast  should  assert  itself.  It  is  entitled  by  its  distance 
from  the  East  to  an  association  of  its  own,  and  should 
unanimously  support  the  new  organization.  The  argu- 
ment advanced  by  some  that  the  outside  world  might 
consider  records  made  by  members  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  Association  not  as  worthy  of  credit,  as  if  made  by  a 
member  of  the  Eastern  associations,  is  weak  and  foolish. 
The  buvers  of  our  horses  in  the  East  look  to  Wallace's 


Year  Book  for  verification  of  records,  and  the  Occidental 
will  stand  in  the  same  relation  to  that  publication  as 
does  the  National.  Surely  our  races,  whether  on  tracks 
belonging  to  the  National  or  Occidental,  will  be  timed 
and  judged  by  our  own  people,  and  these  officials  will 
be  just  as  honest  under  one  administration  as  under 
another,  and  their  signatures  will  bear  as  much  weight 
appended  to  the  record  of  the  race  in  the  Judges'  Book 
whether  it  be  sent  to  San  Francisco,  or  Hartford,  Conn. 

The  National  and  American  Associations  have  never 
sent  men  out  here  to  time  and  judge  our  races. 
We  have  done  it  ourselves,  and  are  no  less  compe- 
tent to  do  so  now  than  heretofore.  Had  the  Occidental 
been  organized  in  1S92,  the  Stockton  records  of  that  ypar 
would  not  have  been  questioned,  and  thousands  of  dol- 
lars would  have  been  saved  the  breeders  on  this  Coast. 
It  is  safe  to  state  that  at  an  important  record  meeting  of 
that  kind,  the  Pacific  Coast  governing  association  would 
have  had  an  officer  of  the  organization  present  who 
would  have  seen  that  there  could  be  no  question  as  to  the 
requirements  of  the  rules  being  lived  up  to.  As  it  is  we 
got  bars  instead  of  records  with  the  American  Associa- 
tion, and  our  horses  failed  to  get  the  credit  they  should 
have  received  in  the  Year  Book.  The  National  Associa- 
tion's recognition  of  the  time  made  being  records  did 
not  reach  the  general  public  or  benefit  the  breeder  to  any 
great  extent. 

With  the  exception  of  the  "Turf,  Field  and  Farm/' 
every  Eastern  horse  journal  has  spoken  favorably  of  tbe 
organization  of  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  As- 
sociation, and  applauded  the  idea,  seeing  no  reason  why 
there  should  be  any  conflict  between  it  and  the  Eastern 
organizations,  in  case  the  Occidental  adopts  the  same 
racing  rules. 

Office  of  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Pacing  Association, 
San  Francisco,  April  24, 1S91. 

Dear  Sir :— The  Occidental  Trotting  and  Paring  Association  is 
ready  to  receive  members.  It  is  thoroughly  organized  and  is  a 
Pacific  Coast  institution  that  will  embrace  in  its  jurisdiction  all  of 
the  territory  lying  west  ot  tbe  Rocky  Mountains.  It  is  the  natural 
result  of  a  growing  demand  for  a  more  accessible  governing  organi- 
zation than  those  located  on  the  other  side  of  the  continent.  This 
demand  comes  from  the  development  of  the  country  that  geographi- 
cally falls  within  tbe  province  of  the  new  organization. 

In  its  government  it  will  not  conflict  with  the  two  older  associa- 
tions. Its  rules  and  regulations  being  identical  with  those  of  the 
American,  which  are  almost  exactly  the  same  as  those  of  the 
National. 

For  the  benefit  of  its  members  who  may  have  suspensions  due  them 
for  non-payment  of  entrance  money,  in  either  the  National  or 
American  Associations,  it  will  recognize  tbe  suspensions  and  expul- 
sions of  each  of  these  organizations  in  force  on  January  I,  1S91.  Thus 
it  goes  much  further  than  either  of  the  Eastern  Associations— i 2  as 
much,  as  the  collection  of  debts  due  the  members  of  either  society 
will  be  provided  for. 

Both  the  National  and  American  Trotting 'Associations  have,  io 
he  course  of  their  business,  accumulated  a  large  surplus  of  money. 
It  is  proposed  that  the  Occidental  shall  make  a  provision  in  its  Con- 
stitution that,  when  at  the  end  of  any  fiscal  year  of  the  organization 
it  shall  have  money  on  hand  in  excess  of  its  obligations  and  a  cc_ 
tain  working  fund,  the  amount  of  which  shall  be  fixed  by  the  Board 
of  Directors,  it  shall  declare  a  dividend  and  distribute  said  excess 
among  its  members  in  good  standing  pro-rata,  with  the  classification 
of  its  members  entitled  thereto. 

The  costs  of  membership  in  the  Occidental  is  the  same  as  in  the 
National  and  American.  The  equipment  will  be  furnished  members 
free  of  cost,  and  will  consist  of  the  same  articles  as  are  furnished  by 
the  Eastern  Associations  with  the  advantage  of  members  being  able 
to  get  additional  articles  within  a  few  hours,  instead  of  waiting 
weeks,  while  the  order  and  goods  are  in  transit  oetween  here  and  the 
far  East. 

With  headquarters  in  San  Francisco  forthe  transaction  of  tbe  office 
business  of  the  Association  ar.  J  a  Board  of  Appeals  whose  decisions 
shall  he  final,  also  located  here,  the  affairs  of  the  Association  will  te 
conducted  with  a  dispatch  that  will  make  it  much  more  effectual  and 
valuable  to  its  members  than  a  membership  in  either  of  tbe  Eastern 
Associations  could  possibly  he. 

The  necessary  delay  in  the  transaction  of  important  business,  re. 
suiting  from  the  crreat  distance  at  which  the  headquarters  of  the 
Eastern  Associations  are  located,  in  many  instances  has  been  a  loss 
to  the  Association  on  this  coast.  Notably  so  in  tbe  collection  of  su.c. 
pensions  for  non-payment  of  entrance,  as  the  party  suspended  by  a 
member  here  of  the  Eastern  Associations  has  a  chance  to  start  in 
races  three  or  four  weeks  after  being  in  default,  before  the  order  can 
reach  the  East  and  be  returned  to  other  members  here_ 

The  rnles  in  both  tbe  American  and  National  requite  that  notices 
of  all  penalties  come  from  their  respective  secretaries,  which  would 
make  a  notice  from  one  member  to  another  inoperative  until  it  had 
been  ratified  by  a  similar  notice  from  headquarters. 

As  these  Eastern  associations  have  failed  to  provide  rules  and 
special  jurisdiction  for  the  great  country  lying  west  of  the  broad 
plains  and  deserts  that  separate  us  from  them,  we  are,  naturally,  from 
oor  isolated  location  regarding  the  rest  of  the  United  States 
entitled  to  a  governing  association  of  our  own,  ooe  that  will  be  large 
and  powerful  enough  to  demand  recognition  and  respect  throughout 
the  world. 

That  the  Occidental  Trotting  and  Paciog  Association  will  be  a  suc- 
cess is  assured  by  the  number  of  endorsements  it  has  received.  The 
majority  of  tbe  associations  00  this  coast,  from  Portland,  Oregon,  to 
Southern  California,  have  already  announced  their  Intention  of  join- 
ing it.  In  hackneyed  phrase.  "  it  fills  a  long-felt  want."  That  both 
of  the  Eastern  Associations  are  excellent  institutions,  is  granied,  bo^ 
they  cannot  give  the  service  and  protection  to  this  coast  that  they 
could  if  their  headquarters  were  here,  and  which  they  now  afford  to 
the  great  conntry  east  of  tbe  Rocky  Mountains. 

The  new  Association  instead  of  weakening  tbe  government  of  rac- 
ing affairs  on  this  Coast,  will  greatly  strengthen  it  by  uuiting  those 
who  were  members  of  the  National  and  American  ;  and,  by  observ- 
ing all  the  suspensions  in  force  by  either  of  these  Associations,  it  will 
afford  every  protection  and  unparalelled  means  for  forcing  collec- 
tions of  delinquent  entries  aud  punishing  fraud. 

It  is  essential  for  your  own  good  and  the  benefit  of  the  cause,  that 


you  sign  and  return  the  enclosed  blank  application  for  membership 
at  the  earliest  possible  date,  and  your  attention  is  called  to  the  proof 
of  tbe  proposed  by-laws,  which  are  to  be  presented  at  a  meeting  of 
the  Association,  to  beheld  as  soon  as  returns  are  in  from  the  appli- 
cations for  membership. 

You  will  be  asked  to  be  present  at  this  meeting  and  your  Associa- 
tion to  be  officially  represented.  It  is  desired  that  at  this  convention 
there  will  be  a  large  attendance  representing  every  track  on  tbe 
Coast,  and  that  not  only  will  tbe  business  in  hand  of  the  Occidental 
Trolling  and  Pacing  Association  be  transacted,  but  that  suggestions 
may  be  made  that  will  tend  to  increase  the  popularity  of  tbe  sport, 
harmonize  racing  events,  and  benefit  all. 


Sensation  Purse ! 


This  is  the  startling  caption  of  the  advertisement  of 
the  live  and  progressive  association  at  Buffalo.  The  sum 
of  $5,000  is  offered  for  a  pacing  race  between  pacers  eli- 
gible to  the  2:0I>  class.  Entries  will  close  May  1st,  and 
as  there  are  several  horses  in  California  that  are  eligible 
to  this  race,  owners  should  endeavor  to  try  and  attend 
this  great  race  with  their  sidewheelers.  The  advertise- 
ment contains  all  the  information  regarding  it,  and  as 
we  can  personally  vouch  for  the  excellence  of  the  track, 
its  accommodations  and  the  liberality  of  the  citizens,  we 
hope  to  see  California  well  represented  at  this  race  meet- 
ing, and  especially  in  this  race  for  2:00  pacers. 


Next  Monday  afternoon,  at  one  o"ciock,  Messrs.  Kil- 
lip  &  Co.  will  sell  a  number  of  choice  yearling  thorough- 
breds, the  produce  of  the  great  stallions  St.  Saviour  and 
Imported  Greenback,  out  of  some  of  the  choicest  brood 
mares  ever  brought  to  California.  This  consignment  is 
the  closing-out  sale  of  all  the  stock  belonging  to  Fred 
Gebhard,  Esq., and  to  students  of  pedigrees  and  individu- 
ality, these  fleet-footed  yearlings  have  a  peculiar  charm, 
while  to  those  who  delight  in  having  race  horses  that 
can  win  money,  there  are  many  at  this  sale  whose  merits 
will  appeal  most  strongly  to  them.  Remember  the  sale 
takes  place  at  the  salesyard,  corner  Van  Ness  Avenue 
and  Market  Steee",  next  Monday,  April  30th,  at  one 
o'clock.  There  are  in  the  list  several  that  will  become 
as  valuable  as  De  Bracey  and  Gilead. 


The  Petaluma  Fair. 


Horsemen  in  California  have  no  reason  to  co-n plain  of  the 
liberality  of  the  associations  this  year,  $1,000  is  the  average 
of  every  purse  hung  up  at  all  of  theui  0*1  the  great  California 
circuit.  Petaluma,  the  home  of  the  trotting  horse,  is  in  the 
6rst  rank  with  its  standard  on  which  are  emblazoned  the  cheer- 
ing announcement  that  $17,200  is  to  be  given  away  at  their 
fair  this  year  in  stakes  and  purses.  Every  one  knows  about 
the  splendid  climate,  excellent  track  and  commodious  box 
stalls  at  the  Petaluma  Fair  groua  h,  and  how  liberally  the 
people  of  SonoraaCounty  support  their  annual  fair,  therefore 
this  announcement  of  the  large  purses  offered  and  the  low  en- 
trance fee  should  swell  the  list  of  entries  in  a  way  to  delight

THE  KENNEL. 

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 

Mr.  A.  C.  Waddell  has  been  selected  as  one  of  the  judges 
at  Oakland,  May  30,  31,  ami  June]  and  2. 

T.  S.  Casey,  the  Los  Angeles  fox  terrier  fancier,  has  de- 
cided to  coll  his  kennel  of  fox  terriers,  the  Sunset  Kennels. 

The  well-known  K.  C.  St.  Bernard  Republican  by  Ch.  Dnke 
of  Wellington — Restless,  first  at  San  Francisco  and  Los  An- 
geles, has  gone  the  way  of  all  tle>h. 

Two  men,  claiuiing'lo  be  hunters,  called  at  Mr.  Daly's 
ranch  at  Escondido,  San  Diego  County,  last  week,aod  after 
getting  a  meal  from  Daley,  walked  off  with  two  valuable  deer 
hounds  belonging  to  C.  H.  Jouett,  of  Berkeley,  Cal. 

While  in  Riverside  the  first  of  the  week  we  called  unon 
the  weil-known  sportsman  A.  W.  Bruner,  aud  enjoyed  a  brief 
chat  with  him  on  dogs  and  guns,  etc,  Bruner's  Nig,  a  dog 
well  known  10  We-tern  sportsmen,  is  in  fine  fettle. 

Field  Trials  will  be  held  in  Southern  California  this  com- 
ing season.  The  entries  to  the  Derby  will  close  in  Septem- 
ber. We  are  not  authorized  to  state  this  as  an  actual  fact,  but 
it  is  a  fact  that  such  is  the  intention  and  we  believe  that  it 
will  come  to  pass. 

Whippet  coursing  in  England  just  now  is  booming.  Strange 
thai  this  sport  has  not  reached  any  portion  of  this  countiy. 
It  is  most  exciting  and  is  thought  by  many  to  surpass  even 
coursing.  Mr.  Freeman  Lloyd,  the  promoter  of  the  sport 
in  England,  is  about  to  publish  a  work  on  this  species  of  field 
sport  called  the  "  Whippet  and  Race  Dog."     • 

There  is  quite  a  story  connected  with  the  pointer  bitch 
Amaryllis,  that  made  such  a  clean  sweep  at  Los  Angeles  last 
week."  She  was  formerly  owned  by  E.  K.  Benchley,  but 
Harry  Payne  told  Renclilev  that  her  head  was  "nogood," 
that  she  never  could  win  anything.  So  Benchley  gave  her 
away.  Mortimer,  Davidson,  Raper  and  Waddell  have  all 
given  her  firsts,  and  many  think  that  there  is  not  a  better 
bitch  in  America. 


The  Los  Angeles  Bench  Show. 

The  sixth  annual  bench  show  of  the  Southern  California 
Kennel  Club,  held  at  Los  Angeles  April  18,  19.  20  and  21st( 
was  one  of  the  most  snacessful  shows  ever  held  in  Southern 
California.  The  show  was  held  in  the  Music  Hall  building 
on  Broadway.  The  hall  is  fairly-well  lighted,  cool  plenty 
large  enough  for  the  number  of  dogs  entered,  and  convenient 
for  exercising  the  dogs.  There  were  170  entries,  including 
duplicates  and  seventeen  absentees. 

The  secretary,  C.  A.  Sumner,  was  present  throughout  the 
week,  and  to  his  incessant  labors  must  be  credited  the  success 
of  the  show.  Messrs.  T.  E.  Walker,  the  president,  T.  S 
<  i-ey,  E.  K.  Benchley,  H.  M.  Tonner,  S.  H.  Laverty  and  J- 
H.  Keifer  were  present  most  of  the  time,  and,  as  usual,  were 
very  attentive  to  the  wants  of  the  visitors  and  exhibitors. 
K.  K.  Sumner,  the  superintendent,  though  new  at  the  business, 
gave  most  excellent  satisfaction.  Dr.  J.  V.  Edmonds  offici- 
ated as  veterinarian. 

The  judges  gave  very  general  satisfaction.  While  we  can- 
not agree  with  all  of  their  decisions,  they  certainly  gave  as 
good  satisfaction  as  their  predecessors.  Mr.  G.  L.  Waring 
judged  bull  terriers,  Boston  terriers  and  fox-terriers.  A.  C. 
Waddell  of  Cotf'eyville,  Kansas,  all  otoer  classes.  The  only 
complaint  we  have  is  the  awarded  of  prizes  to  dogs  unworthy 
of  notice,  and  this  is  more  the  fault  of  the  committee  than  of 
the  judge.  The  attendance  was  good  and  the  club  unques- 
tionably came  out  ahead. 

MASTIFFS. 

The  mastiff  dog  class  contained  three  entries.  M.  S.  Sever- 
ances' Bishop  secured  first,  and  we  think  rightly  so.  He  has 
the  best  skull,  the  best  back,  the  best  bone  and  is  the  best 
mover.  G.  J.  Griffiths'  Phillip,  second,  is  perhaps  the  best 
in  legs  and  feet  of  the  lot,  but  is  too  high  in  hips,  light  in 
eye  and  plain  in  head.  Mark  Phtslp's  Phelps  Bishop,  third, 
has  the  best  mask,  best  eye  and  best  expression,  but  is  too 
high  in  the  legs,  weak  behind  and  not  strong  in  pasterns. 

Mu-vtilF  bitches  had  only  one  entry,  J.  P.  Goytino's  Fanny 
II,  a  small,  weedy  bitch.  She  was  given  a  first,  a  practice 
we  do  not  approve  of.    A  second  would  have  been  ample. 

Mastiff  dog  puppies  brought  out  only  one  entry.a  very  fairish 
one,  Lomita  Kennel's  Lomila  Rex.  He  has  good  bone  and 
was  shown  in  prime  condition,  but  lacks  volumne  of  skull  and 
size. 

ST.    BERNARDS. 

l:  (  .  Bt  Bernards,  open  dog  clas3 — J.  B.  Barker's  Cali- 
fornia Bernardo,  tirbt,  was  rigbtly  placed.  He  has  filled  out 
since  he  was  last  fshown  and  improved  in  skull  and  bone  as 
well.  He  baa  more  chancier  than  the  balance  of  the  class, 
but  loses  in  size  and  height  to  Reglov.  The  placing  of  Frauk 
Mr  11  lister's  Monk,  second,  we  do  not  endorse.  Monk  hne  a 
id,  the  type  of  and  very  Himilar  to  his  sire,  Gillott. 
tie  is  a  sound  Utile  dog  slsotbntbi8  lack  ol  blaze,  bad  coat 
and  small  stature  should  have  placed  him  below  Reglov. 
i^  very  marly  equal  to  Bernardoin  skull  but  is  beaten 
by  bin)  in  muzzle,  Reglov's  being  too  long.  Heglov  is  also 
too  straight  in  stifle  and  is  not  as  good  in  coat  as  Bernardo, 
though  better  than  Monk  in  this  respect.  Mr.  Waddell's 
reaSOU  for  putting  Reglov  Irick  VTSS,  undoubtedly,  the  fact 
that  he  is  blind  in  one  eye.  The  eye  is  not  at  all  unsightly, 
and  no  one  would  know  it  anises  told  or  upon  a  very  close  ex- 
ami  nation.  We  will  aMow  that  a  dog  is  not  a  perfect  dog  with 
only  one  eye  but  we  hold  that  unless  this  can  beso  con-trued 
as  to  mean  total  blindness,  i.  e.,  disqualification, then  one  can- 
not deduct  from  the  BCOre  of  the  dog  one  atom  more  than  the 
entire  value  of  the  one  eye  about  2J  points.  Take  off  10  and 
Reglov  -nil  beats  Monk. 

R  C  Si  Bernard  bitch  class  brought  out  but  one  entry,  a 
very  proililj  marked,  smooth  coat,  Voucher  and  Aikman's 
TahitliB.  Ls  Delight  and  Fernwood  Inez  being  absent.  She 
is  loo  small  ai  1  light  in  head. 

K.  <  St.  Bernard  dog  puppies  brought  out  six  entries,  but 
two  of  them  were  transferred  to  the  smooth  class.     C.  F.  A. 


Last's  Pontiff,  the  winner,has  a  perfect  blaze,  dense  shadings 
and  good  collar  but  is  light  in  color,  woolly  in  coat  and  long 
in  head.  Goucher  and  Aikman's  Punch,  second,  and  two 
smooths  are  all  of  the  same  litter,  all  nicely  marked  aud  with 
the  same  general  characteristics. 

B.  C.  St.  Bernard  bitch  puppies,  two  more  of  the  same 
litter.  C.  A.  Sbeldricks'  Lady  Thornton,  first,  has  the  best 
body  and  best  coat.  Goucher  and  Aikman's  Judy,  second,  is 
too  light  in  color  and  too  large  in  head.  Capt.  F.  B.  Col- 
yeHs  Prince,  third,  is  too  short  in  skull  and  too  hound-like 
in  character. 

S.  C.  St.  Bernard  dog  puppies  Geo.  W.  Lynch's  Rover 
rightly  woo.  Mrs.  Mary  E  Frazer's  California  Wonder  sec- 
ond, is  a  bit  lank,  short  in  back  ribs  and  too  light  in  head. 
This  entire  litter,  though  strikingly  marked  and  evidently 
from  good  stock  are  too  weedy,  lacking  in  St.  Bernard  char- 
acter and  massiveness. 

GREAT  DANES. 

Great  Danes,  Open  Dog  Class — J.  G.  Borglum's  Tilani 
first,  had  a  walk  over.  This  puts  him  in  the  Challenge  Class. 
He  is  of  the  proper  type,  might  be  better  in  back  and  carries 
his  tail  poorly.  Same  owner'sMarjel  won  in  corresponding 
bitch  class  with'out  competition.  It  will  take  a  good  one  to 
beat  her.  In  dog  puppies  Mrs.  H.  E.  Small's  Figaro,  a  son 
of  Marjelwon  first.  She  is  too  light  in  muzzle  and  not  the 
equal  of  his  dam  in  quality.  Col.  J.  G.  Otis'  Faro,  second, 
and  Fred.  K.  Miner's  Faust  are  his  equals  in  bead,  but  lose  in 
carriage,  symmetry  and  type  of  body  and  limbs.  In  bitch 
puppies  J.  H.  Outh\vaite,s  Minyoo,  first,  is  not  right  in  muz- 
zle, but  otherwise  is  better  than  the  dog  puppies. 

FOXHOUNDS. 

American  Foxhound  classes  were  both  walkovers.  A  dog 
and  a  dog  puppy.  The  dog  Thad  Lowes  Dixie  is  of  good 
type,  though,  perhaps,  a  trifle  heavy  for  an  American  hound, 
with  splendid  feet  and  legs,  good  head  and  ears.  Karl  C. 
Klokke's  Figueroo,  the  puppy,  is  a  well-developed  youngster 
thatlooks  like  a  workman.  His  skull  is  as  yet  undeveloped, 
rather  ou  the  bloodhound  order,  but  will,  doubtless,  fill  out 
with  age. 

DEERHOUNDS. 

In  deerhound  open  dog  class  a  well-known  face  J.  E.  Hoy's 
Cervus  was  alone  and  won  again.  He  is  a  little  small,  but 
not  at  all  a  bad  sort. 

.  In  corresponding  bitch  class,  same  owner's  Flora  was  alone 
and  also  won  the  blue  ribbon. 

GREYHOUNDS. 

In  greyhounds,  though  the  classes  were  not  very  large,  the 
dogs  were  of  most  excellent  quality  and  it  took  the  judge  a 
long  while  to  separate  them.  P.  Curtis'  Skyrocket  was  rightly 
placed  first.  He  is  the  equal  of  any  in  the  class  in  skull,  is 
best  in  muzzle,  has  the  most  poweiful  jaw,  the  best  neck,  the 
best  back  and  loin,  is  the  lowest  in  hocks,  best  bent  in  stifles, 
and  best  in  chest.  He  moves  well  in  the  ring  and  is  all  in  all 
a  superb  hound.  S.  Tyler's  Falcon,  second,  is  the  equal  of 
Skyrocket  in  shoulders,  and  beats  him  in  fore  legs  and  front 
feet,  but  is  not  as  low  in  hocks.  He  has  a  very  good  bead, 
good  deep  chest  and  good  back  and  loin.  Moreover,  he  was 
shown  in  splendid  condition.  Hugh  McCracken's  Donard 
M.  was  lucky  in  getting  third  place.  Alfred  Barrell's  Wallace 
Go,  V-  H.  C.  R-,  we  liked  full  as  well.  Donard  M.  has  a  nice 
skull  and  ear, but  is  sh)rt  in  muzzleand  his  jaw  is  lacking  in 
power;  his  tail  is  carried  poorly,  but  he  is  lower  in  hocks  and 
better  in  front  and  at  best  it  is  simply  a  matter  of  opinion  as 
to  which  averages  the  best  Wallace  is  loaded  in  shoulders 
and  short  in  neck,  two  bad  defects  in  a  greyhound,  but  he  is  a 
better  size,  better  proportioned,  and  in  our  eyes  more  of  a 
greyhound. 

In  greyhound  bitch  class,  the  competition  was  again  close. 
Mr.  Waddell  reversed  last  year's  order  bv  placing  S.Tyler's 
Pronto  over  H.  McCracken's  Lady  H.  Glendyne.  We 
rather  think  the  latter  decision  the  correct  one.  Pronto  has 
a  very  nice  head  front,  good  length  of  neck,  good  shoulders, 
good  body,  well-arched  bock,  good  depth  of  chest  and  is  the 
lowest  in  hocks,  but  is  weak  in  second  thighs.  Lady  H. 
Glendyne  is  the  best  in  hind  quarters,  and  her  equal  in 
shoulders  and  feet,  but  was  too  fat  and  not  as  well  muscled 
up  as  Pronto.  Thad  Lowe's  Juno,  third,  has  the  most  punish- 
ing jaw  of  the  lot,  but  is  too  straight  in  stifles  and  too  long 
coupled. 

In  greyhound  dog  puppies,  Tyler  secured  another  victory 
with  Oak  Glen  Victor,  a  son  of  Falcon's,  that  will  beat  his 
dad.  He  has  a  very  good  head  and  muzzle,  nice  length  of 
neck,  good  shoulders  and  front,  and  good  hind  quarters. 
Hugh  McCracken's  Midnight  II.,  second,  is  a  good  all-round 
greyhound,  with  no  grave  faults,  but  was  fairly  beaten  by  Vic- 
tor. 

In  bitch  puppies  Oak  Glen  Victress,  another  of  the  Falcon- 
Pronto  litter,  had  a  walk-over,  but  she  was  well-deserving  of 
the  blue  ribbon.  She  is  not  quite  the  equal  of  her  litter 
brother,  but  not  far  from  him. 

BARZOIS. 

The  Barzois,  or  Russian  wolfhound,  E.  P.  Boden's  Cossack 
was,  possibly,  a  barzois,  but  if  so,  the  poorest  we  ever  saw,  and 
was  lucky  to  get  second  prize. 

CHESAPEAKBS. 

Chesapeake  Bays  showed  up  but  one  entry,  Thos.  Higgs' 
Trout,  the  well-known  winner.  He  is  a  bit  too  stocky,  too 
wide  in  skull  and  too  high  in  hips,  but  is  of  good  type,  and 
won  rightly  enough. 

POINTERS. 

Pointers,  heavy-weight  challenge  dogs,  no  entries.  Chal- 
lenge bitches,  Howard  Vernon's  Sally  Brass  II.  alone  won 
another  of  the  coveted  blue  ribbons.  She  holds  herage  well, 
though  a  bit  fat  and  light  in  muzzle- 
Challenge  light-weight  dogs  had  only  one  entry,  E.  K. 
Benchley's  Kan  Koo,  the  winner  last  year.  He  has  a  good, 
square,  deep  muzzle,  fair  skull,  is  a  bit  wide,  well-ribbed  and 
a  fair  mover. 

Challenge  light-weight  bitches  brought  only  two,  A.  B. 
Truman's  Patti  Croxtelh  and  Mrs.  H.  M.  Tonner's  Amaryl- 
lis. The  latter  had  a  walk-over.  Patti  is  loaded  in  shonld- 
ers,  cheeky,  wide  in  skull,  short  in  head,  loo  wide  by  two 
inches  in  front  and  too  heavy  built  all  through.  We  have 
expressed  this  opinion  and  written  it  ever  since  we  first  saw 
this  bitch,  and  now  the  first  time  that  she  has  met  one  of  the 
first  (light  she  has  been  snowed  under,  a<*  we  predicted  she 
would  be.  Amaryllis,  though  not  in  good  condition,  excels 
her  in  muzzle,  skull,  shoulders,  body  and  front,  and  is  the  best 
mover. 

In  open  dog  class,  heavy  weights,  A.  P.  Kerckhofl's  Jap 
won.  He  is  the  best  in  head,  neck  and  shoulders.  A.  E. 
Messerly's  Bob,  second,  is  a  bit  short  in  head  and  short  in 
couplings,   rightly  placed.     R.  E.    Green's   Rush,  third,  is 


light  in  eye,  wide  in  skull  and  throatv,  otherwise  good.     J. 
I  A.  Silver's  Ben,  V.  H.  C.  R.,  is  too  wide  in  skull,  cheeky,  and 
his  ears  might  hang  better,  otherwise  good. 

Open  bitch  class,  heavy-weights,  was  won  by  Little  Nell,  a 
Duke  of  Vernon-Sally  Brass  pup,  owned  by  the  Presidio  Ken- 
nels. She  is  a  little  beautv,  full  of  quality,  nice  head  and 
muzzle,  best  in  feet  and  legs  in  the  class.  J.  H.  Sammi's 
Hornell  Bess,  second,  is  wrong  in  front  feet,  shown  too  fat  and 
is  not  a  good  mover.  L.  Simonson's  Flossy,  third,  had  the 
best  head  of  the  lot,  muzzle  square  and  deep,  but  a  trifle  short. 
She  was  nursing  puppies,  and  consequently  out  of  show  con- 
dition. 

Open  dog  class,  light-weights,  was  won  by  J.  H.  Keifer's 
Baldy,  a  son  of  Idstone  Bang.  His  muzzle  is  very  square  and 
skull  is  of  good  profile,  but  is  much  too  thick,  body,  feet 
and  legs  good.  J.  E.  Walker's  Ben  Koo,  second,  we  like  as 
well.  His  muzzle  is  nearly  as  square-cut  and  longer,  and 
skull  n«*t  anv  coarser.  He  is  well-ribbed  and  has  good  limbs 
and  feet.  Howard  Vernon's  Glenbeigh,  third,  the  well-known 
English  field  trial  winner,  is  too  thick  in  skull,  too  short  in 
muzzle  and  too  straight  in  stifles  for  a  bench  show  dog.  Geo. 
A.  Ralph's  Grover,  V.  H.  C.  R.,  is  cheeky,  his  ears  do  not 
hang  right,  is  straight  in  stifles,  carries  a  bad  tail  and  is  not 
well  sprung  in  ribs. 

Open  bitch  class,  light  weights,  E.  K.  Benchley's  Kioto 
won.  She  has  good  muzzle,  but  is  wide  in  front  and  carries 
her  elbows  too  far  under  her.  Shown  too  fat.  H.  Y. 
Evans,  Jr.'s  Tippetta,  second,  has  not  improved  dur- 
ing the  past  year.  She  has  grown  cheeky,  but  not  badly  so. 
She  has  good  front  legs,  but  not  the  best  of  front  feet. 
J.  H.  Sammi's  Nancy  S.,  third,  has  a  nice  type  of  bead, 
good  neck  and  shoulders,  good  body,  but  not  quite  strong  in 
pasterns, and  has  not  the  best  of  feet.  B.  C.  Hin  man's  Belle 
has  a  good  head,  good  front  and  fair  body,  but  was  shown 
much  too  thin  in  flesh. 

Novice  pointer  classes  brought  out  one  puppy,  E.  E.  Sal 
lady's  Nig.  He  is  a  good-headed  dog  with  considerable  qual- 
ity, but  Mr.  Waddell  evidently  does  not  hanker  after  black 
pointers  as  he  only  gave  him  second. 

Pointer  bitch   puppies — H.   D.   Dunton's  Lulu  King  Doi 
won  easily,  being  five  months  older  than  Howard  Vernon' 
Arabella,  second.     We  are  inclined  to  think  that  the  latl 
will,  however,  make  the  best  bitch  eventually. 

ENGLISH   SETTEES. 

Open  dog  class  had  eight  entries,  three  absent.  Mr.  Wad- 
dell followed  Davidson's  example  and  put  Godfrey  Fritz's 
Prince  Charles  first.  He  has  an  excellent  type  of  head,  but 
is  to  our  notion  a  bit  coarse  all  through,  too  heavy  built  for 
a  workman.  A.  P.  Kerchofl's  Mercury  won  second.  We 
thought  Jas.  Singer's  Stambonl,  third,  better  entitled  to  the 
position.  He  has  better  length  of  head  and  is  better  behind. 
Both  are  good  in  body,  but  Mercury  is  a  little  the  bestsprung 
in  ribs,  both  have  very  good  feet  and  are  about  equal  in  front. 
Stamboul  looks  very  much  like  Countess  Noble,  but  has  not 
her  racy  build.  D.  Winder's  Cazador,  V.  H.  C.  R  should 
never  have  been  placed  over  G.  A.  Vanderbeck's  Kash,  V. 
H.  C.  Had  the  judge  handled  Kash  he  would  have  found  a 
great  deal  more  of  him  than  he  dreams  of.  His  short  coat 
and  unsetter-like  character  caused  him  to  be  overlooked. 
Cazador  is  very  coarse  in  head,  tucked  up  too  much  at  loin 
and  drops  off  too  rapidly  at  hips.  Kash  beats  him  in  every 
point. 

Open  bitch  class  had  but  three  representatives.  H.  T. 
Payne's  Countess  Noble  won  rightly  enough.  She  might  be 
longer  in  skull  and  muzzle,  otherwise  she  is  very  hard  to 
beat.  Wm.  Garm's  Diana  G.,  second,  has  a  nice  length  of 
head,  but  lacks  stop  and  is  not  good  behind.  H.  M.  Tonner's 
ICstrella  is  short  and  plain  in  face  and  much  too  small. 

In  puppies,  W.  E.  Lester's  Don  Juan  won  in  dog  class  and 
S.  F.  Hughes'  Silver  Plate  in  bitch  class. 

IRISH  SETTERS 

A.  R.  Truman's  Dick  Swiveller  had  a  walk  over  in  chal- 
lenge dogs.  He  carries  his  age  fairly  well.  We  never  called 
his  head  a  typical  one,  it  is  too  much  lacking  in  stop.  His 
pasterns  are  giving  away,  and  he  moves  a  bit  stiff,  otherwise 
the  old  champion  was  looking  almost  as  well  as  ever.  He  was 
shown  in  fine  condition.  Same  owner's  Lady  Elcho  T.  won 
in  the  corresponding  bitch  class.  She  has  the  better  head  of 
the  two,  and  if  shown  in  better  condition  of  coat  would  give 
Dick  a  hard  rub. 

Open  Dog  Class  found  a  winner  in  A.  B.  Truman's  Nemo 
II,  with  Glenmore  Kennels'  Sultan  second.  The  latter  excels 
in  head  and  type,  the  former  in  body,  is  better  matured.  Had 
either  won.no  one  could  have  criticized  the  decision.  Al. 
Dilley's  Prince  Douglass,  third,  is  much  too  coarse  and  lum- 
bersome.  He  has  nice  coat  and  color  and  is  well  put  together. 
Dr.  E.  N.  Lowry's  Reporter  of  Glenmore  V.  H.  C.  R.  has 
good  coat  and  color,  but  should  be  more  square  in  muzzle.  M. 
Splittstoesser's  Martin,  V.  H.  C.  was  lucky. 

Open  Bitch  Class  brought  out  a  surprise  in  J.  W.  Keen's 
Queen  of  Kildare.  She  lacks  feather  being,  somewhat  out  of 
-coat  and  is  a  little  too  fine  in  head,  i.  e.,  too  delicate  skull 
and  muzzle  too  small  in  proportion  to  her  size,  She  shows 
lots  of  quality  though,  is  well  put  together,  good  body  and 
limbs  and  lithe  as  a  cat.  A.  B.  Truman's  Lightning,  second, 
we  looked  on  at  first  as  a  sure  winner,  but  she  has  not  im- 
proved with  age.  Maternal  duties  have  given  her  a  bit  of  a 
sway  back  and  her  skull  never  was  right.  It  is  wide  at  the 
eyes  and  narrow  at  the  base  instead  of  vice  versa.  Her  coat 
and  color  are  full  the  equal  of  Queen.  She  has  a  good  length 
of  muzzle  but  it  is  not  square  enough.  M.  G.  Jones'  Reddy, 
V.  H.  C.  K.  and  J.  G.  Thurston's  Nellie  C.  were  outclassed. 

In  Dog  Puppies  Glenmore  Kennels'  Glenmore  Clipper  was 
alone  and  won  the  blue  ribbon. 

GORDON  SETTERS. 

Gyp,  first  in  Gordon  bitches^  has  a  good  flat  coatand  good 
tan,  but  is  too  light  in  muzzle.  Lady  Clara  Jane,  second,  was 
way  off  from  her  last  year's  form,  badly  out  ofc  at  and  out  of 
condition.     She  is  the  best  type  and  has  tne  best  tan  of  the 

two. 

□tISH  WATER  SPANIELS. 

A.  Lorsbach's  Barney  L.  won  in  open  dogs  and  J.  H. 
Sammi'sJNellie  won  in  bitches  without  competition.  Both  are 
quite  typical  and  are  too  well  known  to  need  comment. 

FIELD   SPANIELS. 

The  field  spaniel  classes  were  filled  with  big  cockers  and 
nondescripts.    Not  a  field  spaniel  in  the  lot. 

COCKER  SPANIELS. 

Woodland  Duke,  the  winner,  is  full  of  cocker  character  and 
is  best  in  muzzle  and  ears.  King  Douglas,  second,  is  the  best 
in  coat,  is  more  cobby  and  is  the  equal  of  Duke  in  skull  but 
was  shown  too  fat  and  is  pinched  in  muzzle.     Dan  Slater,

third,  is  too  big  and  coy-faced  id  type,  too  much  on  the  King 
Charles  order. 

Gypsy  Jane.first  in  bitches,  is  light  in  muzzle  and  a  bit 
long,  otherwise  is  fall  of  cocker  character  and  was  rightly 
placed.  Her  coat  is  perfectly  flat  but  might  be  more  abund- 
ant. Sprite,  second,  is  a  cobby  little  bitch  with  a  fair  head, 
shown  in  whelp.  Jessie  V.,  reserve,  should  have  been  her 
position,  barring  a  muzzle  that  is  a  trifle  long  she  is  the  best 
put-up  cocker  in  the  class,  full  of  cocker  character  from  the 
ground  up.  Of  course  her  color  is  against  her,  but  she  was 
an  easy  second  for  all  that.  T5he  beats  the  winner  in  all  but 
color.  Woodland  Eed  Queen,  third,  is  very  long  and  light 
in  muzzle  and  though  not  too  small  for  her  age  is  too  small 
for  the  class. 

In  bitch  puppies  Diana  P.  rightly  won.  She  is  snipey  and 
too  long,  otherwise  very  good.     Woodland  Red  Queen  second. 


badly  and  was  in  poor  condition.  'He  is  a  good  dog,  might  be 
deeper  iD  chest,  has  a  good  head  with  ears  too  large  and  too 
widely  set  and  light  eyes,  but  altogether  a  taking  dog.  Blem- 
ton  Reefer,  V.H.  C,  was  in  very  poor  condition  and  looked 
a  very  different  dog  to  what  he  did  last  year.  The  loss  of 
part  of  one  ear  is  sufficient  to  put  him  out  of  court  in  a  show 
nog-  -not  asadisqualiflcation  but  because  it  so  spoils  his  ap- 
pearance. He  is  a  good  bodied  dog  with  a  nice  outline,  has 
capital  bair,  good  legs  and  feet,  is  rather  bitch  headed  and  a 
little  high  on  the  leg.  His  intact  ear  is  badly  carried.  That 
he  is  a  good  stock  getter  seems  to  be  apparent,  as  do  better 
fox  terriers  were  shown  than  Golden  Gem  and  De  Oro,  two 
of  his  daughters. 

Golden  Gem,  the  winnerinthe  open  bitch 'class,  is  a  partic- 
ularly good  one,  but  she  refused  to  show  herself  to  advantage 

the  ring.     Even  this  handicap  was  insufficient  to  prevent 


Nina,  third,  has  a  nice  coat,  but  too  much  of  a  toy  spaniel  ;  any  mistake  being  made  as  to  hersuperiority  overthe  others, 

'  She  is  good  everywhere,  aod  in  describing  her  I  found  my 
statements  on  an  inspection  that  I  made  of  her  after  the 
judging  was  over.  Had  she  shown  herself  in  the  ring  as  she 
did  afterwards  I  would  have  awarded  her  the  prize  for  the 
best  fox  terrier  in  the  show.  Her  head  is  very  good,  her 
ears  being  beautiful  and  are  small,  and  Dot  leathery,  though 


expression. 

CLUMBERS. 

Bustler,  the  challenge  dog.  is  much  Dearer  the  proper  size, 
but  Lady  Florence,  first  in  bitches,  and  Sister  are  too  small 
aod  too  much  of  a  cocker  tvpe  of  head.     In  body,  legs  and  ] 
feet  they  are  all  three  very  good. 

DACHSHUND. 

The  only  dachshunde,  Fannie,  is  a  tip-top  specimen,  long, 
low,  well-bent  and  with  excellent  body. 

COLLIES. 

Fordhook  Bravo,  first  in  opeo  dogs,  is  a  bit  wide  ia  skull, 
bat  has  good  expression,  good  outer  coat  and  fair  under  coat. 
Aunt  Dinah,  first  in  bitches,  has  a  better  skull  and  expression, 
but  is  all  out  of  coat,  nursing  a  litter  of  puppies. 

BULL  DOGS. 

One  French  toy  faced  the  judge.  He  is  a  good  specimen 
of  the  variety,  but  should  be  broken  up  more  in  face. 

BOSTON  TERRIERS. 

Two  pit  bulldogs  were  awarded  prizes  in  that  class.  Neither 
were  Boston  terriers. 

PUGS. 

Balmaceda,  first  in  open  dog  class,  was  shown  too  fat.  His 
type  of  skull  is  good,  but  he  is  sadly  lacking  in  wrinkle,  too 
loDg  in  muzzle  and  too  big  by  half.  His  ears,  coat  and  tail  are 
good,  but  feet  are  poor.  Royal  Dusky,  second,  we  preferred 
for  first  honors.  His  size  is  a  great  advantage,  and  he  is  the 
best  in  the  class  in  skull,  muzzle,  mask,  character  and  feet. 
Whitten  Punch,  third,  is  also  too  big,  possesses  a  beautiful 
wriokle,  good  muzzle  and  fair  skull,  but  his  ears  are  too  near 
together  and  too  long.  He  is  also  long  ia  body  aod  weak  in 
pasterns. 

Tricksey  wod  in  opeo  bitch  class  with  Maud  second.  Again 
we  preferred  the  second  prize  winner.  Tricksey  is  too  narrow 
and  wedge  shaped  in  head  and  too  long  in  body,  Maud  ex- 
celling in  these  characteristics.  Baby,  third,  was  rightly 
placed.  Victorina,  first,  in  puppies,  we  like  as  well  as  any  of 
the  bitches. 

One  good  Japanese  Spaniel  and  a  Mexican  Hairless  won  in 
their  respective  classes. 

SPECIALS. 

Some  of  the  competition  for  special  prizes  was  very  inter- 
esting: That  for  best  kennel  of  any  breed  was  the  usual 
farce.  This  special  can  never  give  satisfaction  and  should  be 
refused  by  all  bench  show  committees.  Truman's  kennel  of 
Irish  setters  won  rightly  enough,  but  a  greyhound  specialist 
would  unquestionably  have  given  it  to  Tyler's  greybouods 
and  a  pug  specialist  would  have  given  it  to  the  pugs  had 
there  been  a  good  kenne)  of  pugs  represented. 

Phillip  won  the  special  for  best  mastiff,  Bishop  not  com- 
peting.    We  liked  the  pup  Lomita  Rex  for  the  position. 

California  Bernardo  won  about  everything  offered  for  the 
St.  Bernards,  except  the  bitch  prize,  which  was  taken  by 
Lady  Thornton.  Pontiff  won  the  special  for  the  best  puppy 
rightly  enough  as  be  is  much  the  best  in  head. 

Marjel  beat  Titan   for  best  Great   Dane.    She  excels  in 
quality.     Titan  is  very  good  in  head  but  is  too  cloddy. 
Skyrocket,  rightly  won  as  best  greyhound. 
Kan  Koo,  best  pointer  dog,  beating  Jap  and  Baldy. 
Amaryllis  won  as  best  pointer  bitch,  defeating  Sally  Brass 
and  Patti  Croxteth.     Also  as  best  light-weight  pointer,  beat- 
iog  Kan  Koo,  Jap  and  Baldy. 

Prince  Charles  beat  Don  Juan  for  best  English  setter  dog, 
and  Countess  Noble  beat  her  daughter,  Silverplate,  for  best 
bitch.    Silverplate  beat  Doc  Juan  for  best  puppy. 

In  Irish  setters  Dick  Swiveler  added  another  to  his  long 
list  of  specials,  Truman  winning  for  best  kennel  without  com- 
petition. 

Gypsy  Jane,  the  cocker  bitch,  won  the  special  for  best 
spariel,  any  breed. 
Tricksey  won  the  special  for  best  pug  bitch.     We  preferred 

Victorina.

FOXTERRIERS. 

The  fox  terrier  classes  were  exceptionally  strong,  and  cer- 
tainly comprised  the  best  lot  of  dogs  that  have  ever  appeared 
at  Los  Angeles. 

In  the  open  dog  class  the  duty  of  awarding  prizes  was  a 
difficult  one,  as  several  entries  were  very  close  together  and 
the  type  rather  divergent.  Raby  Rasper  won  with  a  very 
small  margin  over  Ford  Veni.  The  former  is  rather  coarse, 
too  thick  in  the  neck,  a  little  wide  in  front  (though  on  occa- 
sions this  is  not  apparent).  He  has  a  good  coat — a  trifle  too 
abundant — excellent  bone  and  good  straight  legs  and  capital 
feet.  His  head  is  good,  though  it  might  be  improved  beiDg 
a  trifle  pinched  below  the  eyes.  His  ears  are  good  and  well 
carried."  He  stands  beautifully  and  h?s  an  excellent  outline, 
pleoty  of  muscle  aDd  particularly  good  Mod  quarters  and 
hind  legs.  His  eyesare  good  but  expression  rather  soft,  good 
depth  of  chest  and  well  placed  shoulders.  He  is  a  dog  that 
must  command  attention  and  he  stanls  and  shows  himself  so 
well. 

Ford  Veni  has  a  better  head  and  ears  than  Raby  Rasper, 
in  fact  they  are  particularly  good,  and  little  fault  can  be 
found  with  him  in  any  particular.  He  however,  is  very  de- 
ficient in  coat,  stands  rather  out  at  elbows  and  his  hind  less 
.  are  too  much  bent  and  carried  too  much  under  him.  In  all 
other  respects  he  is  very  good  and  if  he  had  a  better  coat  the 
positions  might  have  been  reversed.  The  third  prize  dog, 
Lomita  Patch,  is  a  remarkably  good  shower,  apparently  very 
game  and  a  very  taking  dog.  He  is  full  of  muscle  and  very 
compact,  has  a  good  head  and  ears,  plenty  of  hone,  straight 
legs  and  good  feet.  He  is  too  wide  in  front  and  is  altogether 
.  rather  too  round  in  the  muscles  and  slightly  on  the  bull  ter- 
rier order.  He  w<mts  more  bair.  However,  he  is  a  very  hard 
dog  to  getaway  from.     Hampden  Tip,  V.  H.  C.  R.,  showed 


they  might  be  set  a  little  closer  together.  She  has  a  good 
neck,  sloping  shoulders,  good  legs  and  feet,  the  right  width 
aod  depth  of  chest,  the  right  height  of,  leg,  a  good  outliue,  a 
good  tail,  a  capital  coat,  but  might  be  a  little  heavier  and 
deeper  at  loin  with  advantage.  Altogether,  the  best  bitch  I 
have  seen  in  California.  Lomita  Winnifreda,  the  second 
prize  winner,  is  a  different  type.  She  is  large  and  exceed- 
ingly game-looking.  She  has  an  immense  advantage  in  the 
manner  in  which  she  shows,  has  a  remarkably  good  head,  a 
nice  neck,  well  set  on,  might  be  deeper  in  the  chest  and  less 
round  ;  has  not  the  best  of  legs  and  feet,  and  a  very  bad  tail, 
carried  over' her  back,  a  bad  coat. 

Seacroft  Myrtle,  third,  has  a  nice  head  and  well-carried 
ears,  a  good  body  (perhaps  a  trifle  long),  a  disproportionately 
coarse  tail,  only  a  fair  coat  and  pretty  good  legs  and  feet.  If 
she  had  an  inch  cut  off  her  tail  it  *rould  improve  her. 

Lomita  Nettle,  V.  H.  C.  R.,  is  larger,  too  high  on  the  leg 
not  verv  good  in  the  bodv,  but  has  a  capital  head  and  is 
game-looking.  Mission  Belle,  though  pretty,  is  too  light. 
Gussie  would  probably  have  been  io  the  money  if  she  had 
not  shown  so  badly  and  thrown  her  ears  back  all  the  time  she 
was  in  the  ring.  Her  head  and  ears  are  good,  her  bodv  is 
good  and  her  coat  is  right.  She  is  deficieDt  in  bone,  but  the 
legs  are  straight.  A  nice  little  bitch  that  spoiled  her  chances 
by  her  behavior.  Bonnie  Biddy,  a  good  bitch,  refused  to 
show  herself.  Nellie,  first,  San  Francisco,  1891  and  1892,  was 
passed  over  on  account  of  her  brindled  markings.  Apart  from 
this,  she  is  a  fair  average  bitch,  good  in  the  loin  and  body, 
with  very  good  ears;  too  thick  in  the  head  and  too  wide  in 
the  chest. 

The  novice  dogs  were  not  a  gaudy  lot,  and  the  first  novice 
bitch  carried  her  ears  badly,  but  was  otherwise  fair. 

Bonnie  Brush,  first  dog  puppy,  is  a  nicely  made  little  dog, 
with  good  coat,  legs  and  feet,  and  a  nice  outline.  Carries  his 
ears  too  high,  and  is  weak  in  the  jaw.  It  was  a  close  thiog 
between  him  and  Don  Juan,  who  is  a  neat  little  dog,  fairly 
good  everywhere,  except  that  he  is  wide  in  front  and  his  coat 
is  not  gcod.     Lomita  Spralt  is  too  large. 

The  winner  in  the  bitch  puppy  class,  De  Uro,  is  a  good 
specimen.  She  possesses  a  very  good  head,  ears  the  right 
size  and  shape,  and  well  carried,  a  very  good  loin,  is  a  good 
depth  all  through,  a  nice  neck  and  good  coat,  tail  right  and 
legs  good,  but  the  feet  are  Dot  round  enough.  She  is  all 
round,  a  very  good  bitch,  and  ought  to  be  heard  of  again.  Lo- 
mita Nettle  was  second  (before  described),  and  Bonnie  Blot 
third,  carried  her  ears  badly.  Sunset  Vixen,  V.  H.  C,  R.  is 
too  much  of  a  toy. 

BULL  TERBIEBS. 

Chief,  the  winning  dog,  is  fairly  good  ;  his  ears  are  badly 
cropped,  coming  together  at  the  points;  were  they  wider  to- 
gether at  the  points  (as  they  originally  were)  his  appearance 
would  be  immensely  improved.  Jumbo  beat  him  in  every- 
thing but  head. 

Little  Starlight  is  a  well-turned,  good-headed  bitch,  rafher 
wide  in  front,  and  a  little  short  in  the  leg.  She  beat  the  dog 
for  special.  G.  L.  Wabing.

New  England  Kennel  News. 

Editok  Breeder  4nd  Sportsman  : — The  long-looked 
for  events  of  the  New  England  dogdom  is  at  last  a  fact,  i.  e., 
"  The  Boston  Dog  Show  "  is  in  full  blast  and  to  all  appear- 
ances is  to  be  even  more  of  a  success  than  its  predecessors. 

Entries  are  more  numerous  than  usual,  numbering  nearly 
900  and  in  mo=t  of  the  classes  up  to  former  standards  of 
excellence,  while  in  many  they  are  better  than  usual. 

Judging  is  well  under  way,  and  with  such  veterans  as  most 
of  the  judges  is  goiug  on  rapidly  and  with  the  able  assistance 
of  the  efficient  corps  of  stewards  smoothly.  The  noticeable 
features  of  the  exhibits  are  the  large  classes  in  foxhounds, 
pointers,  English  setters,  foxterriers.  The  Boston  terriers  too 
are  showing  up  in  good  numbers  for  a  breed  so  newly  recog- 
nized, although,  as  was  perhaps  to  be  expected,  there  seems 
to  be  quite  a  divergence  of  opinion  as  to  the  characteristics  of 
the  breed  among  the  exhibitiors,  aud  judging  by  rumors 
heard  among  the  members  of  the  club  itself. 

Dr.  H.  C.  Glover,  "the  Vet"  tells  me  that  of  the  dogs 
brought  in  there  was  but  one  which  he  felt  called  on  to  re- 
fuse admittance  to  and  that  there  seems  to  be  a  very  healthy 
lot  of  dogs  shown. 

At  the  meeting  of  the  New  England  Field  Trial  Club 
held  this  evening  there  was  quite  a  good  attendance  of  mem- 
bers, the  following b»ing  in  attendance:  President  J.  L.  Hay- 
ward,  Secretary  A.  R.  Sharp,  Treasurer  W.  C.  Bayliss,  G.  W. 
Lovell,  L.  E.  Pearle,  E.  K.  Sperrv,  A.  L  Finnev,  Edward 
Brooks,  F.  W.  Whitlock,  Hobart  Ames,  J.  R.  Sha'rp. 

The  resignation  of  G.  W.  Amory,  A  .  M.  Brewster,  E.O. 
Damon,  P.  V.  R.  Ely,  F.  C.  Fowler,  W.  B.  Foster,  Charles 
Kelly,  S.  Little,  C.  A.  Parker,  J.  A.  Thomas  and  N.  H. 
Vaughn  were  accepted. 

After  quite  a  lively  discussion  in  which  it  was  very  evi- 
dently the  sense  of  the  majority  present  that  there  should  be 
trials  held  this  fall  if  possiole,  upon  motion  the  presidentap- 
poioted  Messrs.  E.  Brooks,  A.  R.  Sharp  and  W.  C.  Bayliss 
who  are  instructed  to  examine  into  the  advisability  of  hold- 
ing trials  this  fall  and  report  thereon  at  as  early  a  date  a- 
possible.

[April  28, 1894 


The  club  grounds  are  in  good  condition,  having  a  fair  sup- 
ply of  native  birds,  and  in  addition  the  club  has  put  out  since 
the  cold  weather  ceased  nine  dozens  of  Tennessee  birds,  all 
nf  which  are  good  strong  healthy  birds.  The  club  meeting 
was  followed  by  a  very  enjoyable  dinner  of  the  club  to  its 
friends  and  representatives  of  the  press.  It  seems  to  us  that 
there  should  be  nodissatisfaciion  among  the  members  of  this 
club  at  to  its  management  and  present  condition  for  both  are 
good.  We  think,  however,  that  in  someway  the  interest  of 
theep  irtsroen  of  New  England  should  be  stirred  up  and  their 
attention  drawn  to  the  fact  that  this  club  is  laboring  steadily 
and  hard  towards  the  improvement  of  the  New  England  hunt- 
ing dog  without  any  regard  to  whether  he  is  a  pointer,  Eng- 
lish. Irish  or  Gordon  setter.  Maiiamvk. 

Boston,  April  17,  1894. 

Coursing   at    Huron,    S.    D. 

The  Huron  Coursing  Club  had  a  very  successful  meeting 
on  the  10th  and  lllh  inst,  There  were  two  stakes,  an  all-aged 
of  sixteen  dogs  at  (5  each,  and  a  sapling  stake  for  ten  dogs 
also  at  $5  each. 

The  weather  was  all  that  coide  be  desired,  and  the  game 
was , 'plentiful  and  good.  The  judging  was  done  by  E.  H. 
Molcaster,  who  seems  to  have  given  general  satisfaction.  Mr. 
Mulcaster  will  be  remembered  by  many  of  our  leaders  as  the 
gentleman  who  brought  J.  Herbert  Watson's  dogs  to  the 
Merced  meeting  some  twelve  months  ago. 

At  this  meeting  the  all-aged  stake  was  won  by  the  Colum- 
bus  Kennels'  r.  b.  No  Mercy,  by  Wildtick  (ason  of  tireen- 
ticke).  ont  of  Show  Mercy.  The  runner  up  was  J.  Herbert 
Wats  m'fl  blk.  d.  Judge  Burnaby,  by  Burnaby,  out  of  Dry 
Time. 

California  coursers  will  be  pleased  to  hear  of  Mr.  Watson's 
■  :it  his  favorite  sport.  This  gentleman  has  done 
much  to  elevate  coursing  all  over  the  country  and  be- 
sides has  been  at  heavy  espence  in  introducing  stock  of  tbe 
very  highest  caliber,  and  now  after  many  d:sappointments  it 
is  plea-ing  to  hear  of  his  success.  It  will  be  recollected  that 
only  a  few  weeks  ago  bis  dog  Royal  Crest  won  first  at  the 
<  )jks  meeting  id  a  sixteen-dog  stake. 

The  Bapling  sinke  at  the  meeting  under  notice  was  won  by 
imbus  Kennels'  r.  d.  Glen  wood,  by  Glenkirk,  out  of 
Gilda,  but  the  managers  of  the  meeting  made  such  a  mess  of 
the  card  in  running  off  the  guarded  dogs  that  the  win  has  no 
special  interest  except  in  showing  tbe  utter  ignorance  of  the 
rules  by  the  managers  of  the  club.  It  is  really  difficult  to  ac- 
count for  this  as  the  rule  is  as  plain  as  English  can  make  it.

Protecting  Fish. 


A  Singular  Parasite. 

It  is  an  old  saying  that  every  dog  has  his  day.  According 
to  an  English  authority,  that  day  is  neither  very  long  nor 
specially  comfortable  in  Fiji.  It  is  impossible  to  keep  foreign 
doga  alive  for  much  more  than  a  couple  of  years.  Those 
born  there  may  live  four  vears.  The  cause  of  this  mortality 
is  a  species  of  worm  that  lives  in  the  blood  vessels,  arteries 
and  heart.  Adult  specimens  of  this  parasite  sometimes  meas- 
ure as  much  as  live  inches,  and  the  blood  of  some  animals  is 
actually  swarming  with  them.  Puppies  are  ofter  troubled 
with  them,  although  it  seems  to  take  about  six  months  to  de- 
velop them  to  a  troublesome  stage.  When  a  dog  is  attacked, 
it  begins  with  a  sharp  barkine,  which  is  at  once  recognized 
a-  tht-  beginning  of  poor  Fido's  last  chapter.  Thus  far  no 
remedy  has  been  found  or  even  suggested.  The  same  para- 
site is  found  in  dogs  in  eastern  Asia,  and  identical  svmptoms 
are  noted  The  animal  mav  live  six  months  to  two  years 
after  the  first  indications  are  observed. — New  York  Ledger.

D.  P.  Meyers,  of  Windsor,  was  in  Santa  Rosa  on  Tuesday. 
He  says  there  is  a  great  destruction  of  small  fish  in  i  he  streams 
of  that  locality,  and  thinks  more  rigid  laws  for  their  protec- 
tion should  be  passed  and  enforced.  This  is  only  too  true, 
but  how  to  enforce  the  law  is  the  question.  Hundreds  of 
salmon  trout  were  speared  in  Santa  Iftlla  creek  this  season, 
in  the  very  height  of  the  spawning  time,  the  most  heartless 
and  unsportsmanlike  cruelty  that  can  be  conceivod  of.  What 
is  the  use  of  talking  about  preserving  the  fish  when  they  are 
killed  in  the  breeding  season.  With  one  blow  of  the  fatal 
spear  hundreds  of  thousands  of  fish  are  killed  in  this  way. 
As  long  as  this  barbarism  is  tolerated  there  is  no  hope  of  sav- 
ing the  fish.  We  agree  with  Mr.  Meyers,  and  heartily  sym- 
pathize with  him.  There  is  but  one  way  to  save  the  fish,  and 
that  is  to  prohibit,  under  the  severest  penally,  the  killing  of 
the  incoming  breeding  tish  by  traps  or  spearing  between 
November  1st  and  April  1st.  Until  this  is  done  it  is  idle 
to  talk  of  other  protective  laws,  and  it"  it  were  done  the  small 
fish  which  would  swarm  in  the  streams  could  be  afterwards 
guarded.  As  it  now  is,  the  killing  the  breeders  leaves  so  few 
tish  that  they  are  hardly  worth  protecting.  A  jreat  deal  has 
been  said  and  written  about  protecting  the  fish  at  the  mouth 
of  Russian  River.  It  makes  but  small  difference  whether  the 
incoming  tish  are  caught  in  a  seine  or  are  killed  with  a  three 
pronged,  barbed  gig  fifteen  or  twenty  miles  inland.  The  less 
cruel  way  would  be  to  catch  them  when  they  come  in  fresh 
from  the  sea.  To  caich  them  either  at  the  mouth  of  the 
river,  or  to  spear  them  in  the  smaller  streams  should  be  pro- 
hibited under  heavy  penaltv. — Sonoma  Democrat.

The  Fish  Commission. 


We  believe  in  aiding  the  members  of  the  Fish  Commission 
in  any  of  the  legitimate  ^.eld  of  usefulness, but  we  suggest 
that  its  members  can  best  serve  tbe  Stale  bv  restraining  from 
efforts  tending  to  weaken  the  labors  and  standing  of  there- 
cent  convention  before  the  incoming  Legislature  by  creating 
dissensions  among  the  sportsmen  of  the  State.  Be  advised 
that  you  will  need  all  your  efforts  in  your  own  behalf  in- 
Sacramento.  If  you  do  not  endorse  the  wo^k  of  the  conven 
tion  you  are  the  only  ones  in  the  State  we  have  yet  heard  of 
to  condemn  it,  but  you  must  keep  hands  off.

An  Hl-Advised  Movement. 


The'proposed  formalipn  of  a  new  Slate  Sportsmen's  or- 
ganization as  set  forth  in  last  Friday's  Examiner,  with  Fish 
Commissioner  Murdoch  and  Mr.  Allen,  President  of  the  Pro- 
tective Association,  at  its  head,  is  at  this  time  a  very  ill-ad- 
vised movement,  We  already  have  a  strong  and  active  State 
Association,  whose  labors  for  mmy  years  past  have  been  in 
the  direct  line  of  the  protection  of  the  game  and  lish  of  the 
State.  If  the  gentlemen  named  are  sincere  in  their  claims  of 
doing  unselfish  service  in  the  cause,  join  the  present  organi- 
zation and  aid  it  in  accomplishing  the  result  we  hope  to  see 
achieved — carrying  out  the  work  of  the  late  convention  held 
in  thin  city,  and  not,  by  indirect  methods,  seek  to  weaken  its 
lands.  Forthetirst  lime,  in  the  history  of  the  Slate,  a  wise 
code  of  game  and  fish  laws,  with  adequate  provisions  for  their 
enforcement,  are  presented  to  us  bv  an  intelligent,  earnest  and 
unselfish  body  of  men,  called  together  at  the  instance  of  the 
State  Association   by   the  Governor  of  the  Slate  and   the 


Boards  of  Supervisors  of  the  several  counties.  Its  labors  are 
known  to  all,  and  the  seal  of  approval  of  the  people  and  the 
press  have  gladly  been  accorded.  The  carrying  out  of  this 
work  now  rests  with  the  present  State  organization,  and  we 
are  satisfied  it  will  be  honestly,  fearlessly  and  intelligently 
directed  to  its  proper  successful  outcome.  The  members  of  the 
proposed  new  association  will  be  welcomed  to  membership  in 
the  old,  for  it  was  organized  for  the  sportsmen  of  the  entire 
State,  and  its  field  of  usefulness  is  not  a  restricted  one.  Why 
then  the  need  for  this  new  regime  at  this  particular  day  and 
hour?  It  is  conceded  that  opposition  will  be  met  at  Sacra- 
mento in  the  passage  of  the  proposed  new  laws,  not  by  nor 
from  the  people  of  the  State,  but  by  a  few  interested  individ- 
uals and  companies  with  whom  these  laws  may.  to  the  extent 
of  a  fevr  dollars  and  cents,  conflict.  The  "  sack"  may  thera 
again  be  afield.  The  sportsmen — the  true,  earnest,  honest 
men  of  the  Slate  should  at  this  time  of  all  others,  siand  to- 
gether until  the  fight  that  is  now  od  be  won  or  lost.  Xo  Deed, 
gentlemen,  for  a  division  at  this  time,  and  we  will  see  toil 
that  condemnation  direct  and  unmistakable,  rests  on  the 
shoulders  of  him  or  them  where  it  properly  belongs,  who  seek 
either  by  direct  or  indirect  methods  to  defeat  the  labors  of 
the  convent  ion  that  framed  the  new  code  of  game  and  fish 
laws  of  the  State.

The  Pigeon  Shoot. 


The  pigeon  shoot  at  the  Xapa  Soda  Springs  last  Sunday 
proved  a  very  successful  affair.  Henry  Bassford  and  Manny 
Reams  of  Vacaville  were  over  and  Mr.  Kilgariff  of  San 
Francisco  were  also  present.  At  the  noon  hour  dinner  was

The  Palo  Alto  Sale. 


The  two  trains  which  left  San  Francisco  Thursday  were 
crowded  with  passengers  destined  for  Palo  Alto,  where  the 
sale  of  stallions  and  roadsters  were  to  be  held.  Messrs.  Kil- 
lip  &  Co.  and  their  assistants  were  mounted  on  a  rostrum  un- 
der a  big  oak  tree  by  the  side  of  the  track,  and  around  them 
were  standing  a  large  crowd  of  people,  who  came  in  car- 
riages from  San  Jose,  Redwood,  Woodside  and  the  surround-  I 
iog  country.  The  bidding  for  the  stallions  was  not  lively,  as 
people  did  not  seem  to  care  to  engage  in  the  business,  but 
after  Alfred,  the  magnificent  son  of  General  Benton  was  sold, 
everyone  congratulated  his  purchaser,  J.  Rose,  of  Isleton,  on 
securing  such  a  bargain.  When  the  horse  No.  18  on  the  cata- 
logue, was  offered,  rain  drops  began  to  [fall  from  the 
leaden  sky  and  a  big  broad  smile  o'er  spread  the  features  of 
every  capitalist  (there  were  plenty  of  them  there),  merchant: 
farmer  and  horse  breeder  present.  The  rain  fell  in 
torrents  and  after  a  bountiful  repast  spread  by 
the  Palo  Alto  people  on  a  long  table  under 
an  adjoining  tree  the  thoroughly-drenched  auctioneers  and 
the  patient  audience  adjourned  to  the  big  barn.  The  rain  was 
welcome  and  it  loosened  the  purse  strings  of  many  who 
would  not  have  purchased  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  the 
prospects  for  this  year's  harvests  were  brightened  by  the 
showers.  The  horses  paddling  through  the  rain,  therefore 
were  handicapped  from  doing  their  best,  nevertheless  the  bid- 
ing was  lively  and  to  the  magnetism  of  Superintendent  Covey's 
voice  can  be  attributed  the  prices  realized  at  the  sale.  The 
average  received  was  $114,  and  considering  the  weather  and 
the  circumstances  under  which  the  horses  were  shown,  it  can 
be  considered  a  very  fair  sale.  Following  is  a  list  of  the  ani- 
mals sold,  their  bnyers  and  the  prices  received  :

sold.     The  crowd  at  the  time  was  very  small,  and  L.  J.  Rose, 
one  of  the  leading  citizens  of  IslelOD,  Grand  Island,  Solano 
County,  was  the  successful  bidder,  and  received  the  congrat- 
ulations of  every  prominent  horseman  who  came  on  the  sec- 
ond train  and  had  an  opportunity  of  seeing  the  magni6cently  i 
formed  stallion.     As  one  of  them  remarked,  "  The  Senator,  if  | 
he  was  living,  would  sooner  see  that  horse  destroyed  than  see  , 
him  sold  for  less  than  $2,000."    Mr.  Rose  heard  nothing  but  > 
words  of  praise  for  the  horse.  As  a  pure-gaited  stallion,  hav-  ' 
ingon^of  the  best  of  dispositions,  he  stood  for  years  one  of 
the  ideals  on  the  farm.     His  progeny  were  all  of  good  color,  ! 
perfect  in   form,  pure  in  gait,  stylish  and  speedy.     Many  of  I 
them  are  now  on  the  leading  stock  farms  in  the  East. 

Alfred's  breeding  will  appeal  strongly  to  all  who  are  seek-  ! 
ing  fashionable  blood.     He  is  sired   by  Gen.  Benton  1,755,  | 
sire  of  Sallie  Benton  (4  years),  2:17|;  Lord  Byron,  2:17;  The  | 
Seer,  2:19^  ;  Benton,  2:20],  and  fifteen  others  in  2:30.     Al- 
fred's dam  is  Alice,  dam  of  Mount  Hood,  2:22|,  by  Almont 
33,  the  great  broodmare  sire ;  second  dam  Norma  (dam  of  | 
Norris,  2:22},  Lucy  Cuyler  (trial  2:15A),  Nellie  Benton  (trial  ' 
2:1S),  and  Norval,  2:17*,  sire  of  Norlaine  (1),  2:31  ;   Nor-  j 
hawk,  2:20*  ;  Orphina,  2:17,  and  Novelist,  2:27),  by  Norman  j 
25.  sire  of  dams  of  Norman  Medium,  2:20;  Fanny  Robinson,  ' 
2:20};  Maiden,  2:23,  and  thirteen  others  in  2:30 ;  third  dam  ; 
bv  Todhunter's  Sir  Wallace ;  fourth  dam  Eagletta,  by  Grey 
Eagle;  fifth  dam  by  Mary  Howe,  by  Tiger  ;  sixth  dam  Lady  j 
Robin,  by  Robin  Grey  ;  seventh  dam  by  Quicksilver;  eighth  | 
dam  by  Meade's  Celer.     General  Benton  was  by  Jim   Scott, 
out  of  Lady  Benton,  dam  of  Jefferson  Prince  6,212,  by  Gray's  \ 
Hambletonian,  and  his  sons  and  daughters  are  making  their  I 
way  in  the  annals  of  the  turf  so  fast  that  everyone  is  seeking 
to  get  some  of  the  blood  that  carried  Sunol,  2:08},  Truman,  j 
2:12,  and  others  to  victory. 

The  farmers  and  stock  breeders  of  Solano  are  to  be  con- 
gratulated  on  the  acquisition  of  such  a  horse,  Alfred,  to  breed  ' 
their  mates  to.     He  will  sire  a  family  of  horses  that  will  al- 
ways find  ready  buyers,  for  they  will   have  color,  size,  even  ; 
conformation,  fine  dispositions,  a  faultless  gait    and    speed. 
Outside  of  these  qualifications  what  are  necessary  ?  We  claim 
there  can  be  no  others.     Mr.  Rose  has  the  welfare  of  the  trot-  j 
ting  horse  industry  at  heart,  and  in  bringingthis  magnificent 
horse  to  Grand  Island  we  know   an  epoch  in   the  horse  in-  ; 
terests  will  be  opened  that  will  redound  to  his  credit  and  the 
splendid  sire,  Alfred,  he  captured  at  Palo  Alto. 


HOOF-BEATS. 


A    Chance  for  Investors. 


One  of  the  most  desirable  places  in  California  so  far  as  cli- 
mate, location,  soil  and  improvement  is  concerned  is  the 
splendid  stock  farm  advertised  in  this  issue  by  McAfee  Bros. 
This  land  is  situated  about  three  miles  from  Palo  Alto  Uni- 
versity, and  for  either  viticullurdl  or  horticultural  purposes 
it  is  one  of  the  most  suitable  in  this  State.  There  are  139 
acres  in  all  and  a  living  stream  of  water  wends  its  way 
through  it.  There  are  numerous  springs,  tanks  and  pipes  on 
the  ground,  and  the  residence,  lawns  and  stables  are  built  after 
the  very  latest  and  most  approved  plans.  See  the  advertise- 
ment in  this  issue.

Attention,  Horsemen! 

Have  you  ever  used  the  great  Red  Ball  Brand  stock  brand 
for  your  horses?  Nothing  has  ever  been  discovered  to  equal 
it.  For  young  colts,  broodmires  and  stallions  it  surpasses  all 
other  compositions  for  keeping  them  healthy.  Its  cooling 
tonic  properties  aid  the  digestive  organs  of  horses,  thus  keep- 
ing them  in  perfect  health  when  stall  fed.  It  is  endorsed  by 
the  leading  veterinarians  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  Wherever  it 
has  been  exhibited  and  tested  it  has  received  the  first  prize, 
at  the  State  Fair,  World's  Fair,  Stockton  and  San  Francisco. 
No  horseman  should  be  without  it. 


Is   Tour    Mare    Barren? 


Alfred  Goes  to  Isleton. 


The  late  Senator  Stanford  was  a  natural  judge  of  horseflesh. 
He  learned  it  in  no  school.  His  intuition  and  powers  of  ob- 
servation were  acute,  and  he  never  made  a  mistake  in  select- 
ing a  first-class  colt  or  filly.  When  Alfred,  the  handsome  dab- 
ble bay  colt  by  General  Benton  was  two  years  old  be  asserted 
that  he  was  the  fastest  and  best-gaited  lot  trotter  he  had  ever 
seen.  On  his  suggestion,  the  youngster  was  harnessed,  and 
proved  that  the  prophecies  of  the  master  mind  of  Palo  Alto 
were  correct,  for  the  colt,  hardly  bridlewise,trotted  quarters  in 
thirty-five  seconds.  He  determined  to  call  him  Palo  Alto, 
but  Dame  Winnie,  his  favorite  thoroughbred  mare,  surprised 
him  by  dropping  a  brown  colt,  and  he  decided  to  call  it  Palo 
Alto,  because  it;was  the  first  youngster  with  which  he  was  go- 
ing to  demonstrate  his  theory  of  the  value  of  thoroughbred 
blood  in  the  trotter,  so  the  fast  son  of  General  Benton  was 
named  Alfred. 

At  the  sale  Thursday,  Alfred,  with  a  record  of  2:25  and  the 
further  claim  of  being  the  sire  of  Langton,  2:21^,  one  of  the 
most  highly  prized  young  horses  on   the  immense  farm,  was 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use  an 
i  impregnator.  It  is  worth  trying  Lyford's  improved  im- 
pregnalors  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  effect- 
ive when  everything  else  has  failed.  Several  sets  for  sale  at 
reduced  prices.    Can  be  seen  at  this  office.     Address

The  stables  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair  Grounds  are  being  rapidly 
filled  up,  scores  of  horses  arriving  daily  from  New  Orleans 
and  ether  pnints.  At  present  the  track  is  in  fairly  good  or- 
der, and  all  the  stables  were  out,  doiog  useful  exercise.  The 
La  Masuey  string,  eight  in  number,  all  look  well,  with  the 
exception  of  Lillian,  which  is  still  troubled  with  lameness. 
Service  is  in  fine  fettle,  and  Dan  La  Masney  states  the  son  of 
imported  Woodlands  could  run  a  good  race  to-day  if  he  saw 
fit  to  start  him.  St.  Pancras,  Anomaly,  Servia  and  Swifter 
are  all  in  fine  trim.  Barney  Schreiber's  horses  are  rounding 
to  in  rapid  style,  and  will  be  heard  from  when  the  racing 
season  at  the  Fair  Grounds  begins.  Wildwood  and  Ohio 
Belle  have  not  been  given  any  strong  work  as  yet,  for  the 
reason  that  Schreiber  does  not  intend  to  start  either  of  them 
until  the  middle  of  June  or  the  early  part  of  July.  Jockey 
Frank  Jordan  who  was  kicked  in  the  jaw  by  Aerline  a  few 
weeks  ago,  b*»ars  an  ugly-looking  scar  on  his  face  as  the  result 
of  the  accident,  but  is  able  to  exercise  some  of  Schreiber's 
horses  each  day.  Jordan  has  started  to  reduce,  and  is  now 
down  to  116  pounds.  He  says  he  will  be  able  io  get  down  to 
104  pounds  within  the  next  three  weeks.  If  Jordan  has  been 
engaged  to  ride  Yo  Tambien  in  the  Brooklyn,  as  has  been  re- 
ported, he  says  he  has  not  been  consulted  in  the  matter. 

R.  D.  Crawfroth,  the  Superintendent  of  the  8onoma 
Stock  Farm,  belonging  to  Jas.  G.  Fair,  received  word  from 
headquarters  last  week,  not  to  train  the  string  of  splendid 
trotters  he  had  on  the  farm.  Upon  receipt  of  this  informa- 
tion he  forthwith  discharged  the  extra  employes  he  had  hired 
to  care  for  the  stock,  and  is  now  busily  engaged  in  making 
paddocks  and  getting  everything  in  shape  for  the  young 
colls  and  tillies  he  will  have  in  harness  for  next  year.  Mr. 
Crawfroth  is,  of  course,  a  little  bit  disappointed  at  not  being 
able  to  prepare  his  horses  for  this  year's  races,  but  he  is 
philosophical  "and  says  it  may  be  for  the  best  after  all. 
Times  may  be  better  next  year. 

John  J.  Case,  of  Modesto,  says  that  preparations  are 
being  made  to  have  a  fall  meeting  at  the  track  there.  Dr. 
Evans  has  three  very  promising  trotters,  M.  B.  Wil- 
liams has  one  and  R.  Donnelly  has  Cora  S.,  by  Richards' 
Elector.  The  track  is  in  excellent  condition,  Mr.  Case  having 
had  it  covered  with  layers  of  straw,  manure  and  sand,  hence 
it  is  as  elastic  and  safe  as  any  track  in  California.

Entries  to  the  Breeders  Meeting  close  next  Tuesday. 
Have  you  made  your  entries  yet  ? 

The  three-year  old  colt  Limoreoo,  by  Piedmont,  out  of  a 
sister  to  Advertiser,  has  been  placed  in  Dr.  Reybould's 
stable. 

CopeStinson  is  standing  Geneva,  2:14,  Hildeburn,  2:18, 
and  Hewett,  a  brother  to  Dexter  Prince.for  service  at  Brant- 
ford,  Ont.,  Can. 

Is  the  fourth  race  of  last  Tuesdav  we  erred  in  stating  that 
Nelson  was  third.  Nelson  and  Queen  of  Scots  finished  noses 
apart,  and  third  place  was  awarded  to  Queen  of  Scots. 

The  veteran  J.  Wilkins,  who  owns  the  pacer  Silkwood,  is 
desirous  of  retiring  from  the  turf.  If  Silkwood  does  not 
change  hands,  therefore,  he  may  not  be  out  this  year. 

Thistle,  2-AS\,  will  not  be  trained  this  year.  He  will  be 
represented  in  the  Parkviite  Farm  stable  by  Oriole,  2:20, 
Thora  a  two-year-old  and  Thistlebud  a  yearling  sister  to 
Thora. 


Arthur  F.  Bowers,  of  the  Tribune,  and  Tracy  Eronson, 
of  the  Times,  who  were  ruled  from  Monmouth  Park  last 
summer  for  their  criticism  of  the  races,  were  reinstated 
April  13- 

A  London  cable  says:  Charles  Mitchell  and  George 
Moore  have  decided  to  go  on  the  turf.  They  have  purchased 
a  racing  stable.  Corbett  has  promised  Jim  Mace  to  appear 
with  him  in  a  public  exhibition  both  in  England  and  Dublin. 

W.  L.  Appleby's  good  mare,  Raindrop,  foaled  a  fine  bay 
filly  Thursday  with  a  white  face  and  four  white  feet.  The 
youngster  is  by  imp.  Merriwa  undoubtedly,  being  foaled  to 
his  time,  but  she  was  bred  about  two  months  previous  to  imp. 
San  Pedro. 

The  new  arrivals  at  Santa  Rita  Stock  Farm  are  Sidwood 
and  a  Director  filly,  both  the  property  of  Mr.  Adams,  of  Oak- 
land. Mr.  Sutherland  says  his  1.4U0  pound  horse  carried  him 
to  the  half  in  1:16  one  day  last  week.  Not  slow  for  so  much 
horse. — Direct. 

If  75  per  cent  of  the  value  is  produced  in  the  development 
of  the  trotting  horse,then  certainly  it  will  pay  to  educate  your 
colts  to  trot.  No  better  plan  can  be  adopted  than  to  train 
them  carefully  and  start  them  in  the  purses  hung  up  to  en- 
courage just  this  very  thing. 

Thomas  Martin,  well  knowu  in  turf  ciecles  as  secretary 
of  the  Lexington  (Ky.)  Fair  Association,  has  resigned  after 
many  years' service  owing  to  the  pressure  of  other  duties. 
Horace  L.  Wilson,  of  the  trolling  department  at  TattersalTs 
was  elected  Mr.  Martin's  successor. 


The  Great  Surrey  Handicap,  of  500  sovereigns,  for  three- 
year-olds  and  upward,  was  won  at  Epson,  England,  April 
17th,  by  Col.  Heyward's  Marnovia,  three  years.  Mr.  J.  S. 
Guthrie's  Day  Dream  II,  five  years,  was  second,  and  Mr  R. 
Sherwood's  Lady  Candahar,  four  years,  third. 

The  sale  of  fine  stock  at  the  King  Hill  Stock  Farm  near 
St.  Joseph,  Mo.,  was  attended  by  4.000  people,  but  the  prices 
werenot  as  high  as  expected.  Willard  Russell  (2M7),  the 
noted  trotter,  was  sold  to  William  Nelson,  of  South  Dakota 
for  $2,200.     About  fifty  head  of  blooded  horses  were  sold. 

In  the  list  of  colt  purses  ot  the  Santa  Clara  Valley  Agricul- 
tural Society,  published  in  this  paper  two  weeks  ago,  C  H. 
Corey's  entry  of  the  bay  filty  Lady  Thornhill,  by  Billy 
Thornhill,  out  of  Flora,  should  be  changed  from  Trotting 
Purse  No.  5,  Free-for-all,  three-year-olds  to  Trotting  Purse 
No.  2,  for  District  three-year-olds. 

Adalene  is  the  name  of  a  handsome  black  three-year-old 
filly  in  Mr.  Salisbury's  string.  Adelene  has  a  record  of  2:26 
as  a  three-year-old.  She  is  by  Coeur  d'Alene,  record  2:194, 
made  at  Stockton  in  1893,  he  by  Dexter  Bradford,  2:22,  dam 
Belle  H.,  2;24A,  by  Belmont.  This  handsome  filly  worked  a 
mile  with  Sidfette,  2:22,  by  Sidnev,  last  Wednesday  in  2:29, 
going  the  last  quarter  in  35  seconds. 


Clark's  Horse  Review  of  April  10th  contains  a  very  in- 
teresting table  of  the  descendants  of  Alexander's  Abdallah. 
The  table  was  compiled  by  "Volunteer,"  and  is  very  ably  ex- 
ecuted and  shows  608  separate  and  distinct  2:20  trotters  aud 
pacers  in  the  family.  Throughout  the  table  the  writer  has 
identified  each  performer  with  either  the  son  or  a  daughter 
of  Abdallah.  Almont  and  Belmont  have  214  and  200  re- 
spective descendants  in  the  2:20  list  to  their  credit. 

The  St.  Saviours  made  a  great  showing  Thursday.  Three 
of  them  started  in  as  manv  races,  two  winning  and  the  other 
running  second,  beaten  a  short  head.  This  will  not  hurt  the 
sale  of  yearlings  from  Guenoc  Stock  Farm  by  St.  Saviour  and 
imp.  Greenback  next  Monday  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  salesyard, 
Market  street  and  Van  Ness  avenue.  These  youngsters  are 
from  some  of  the  best-bred  mares  in  the  world,  and  everything 
offered  is  gilt-edged.  Gst  a  catalogue  at  once  and  pick  out 
some  of  these  coming  kings  and  queens  of  the  turf. 

At  the  Epsom  (England)  Spring  meeting,  April  17th,  the 
Metropolitan  Slakes  (handicap)  of  1,000  sovereigns,  for  three- 
year-olds  and  upward  was  won  by  Sir  J.  Thursby's  Paddy, 
five  years.  Mr.  J.  H.  Houldsworth's  Bushey  Park.five  years, 
was  second,  and  Mr.  Durward's  Medici,  four  years,  was  third. 
The  other  starters  were  Mr.  C.  P.  Shrubh's  Insurance,  six 
years;  Mr.  Dougall's  Braemar,  five  years;  Mr.  T.  Jennings' 
0ypri3,  four  years  ;  Mr.  E.  S.  Freeland's  Lady  Margery,  six 
years;  Lord  Ellesmere's  Gabrielle,  four  years,  and  the  Duke 
of  Beaufort's  Gallant  Queen,  three  years.  Braemar  showed 
temper  at  the  post,  and  at  the  falling  of  the  flag  made  a  rush 
for  the  rails.  He  took  no  further  part  in  the  race.  Cypria 
led  uutil  the  turn  into  the  stretch,  when  Medici  took  the  lead 
and  kept  it  until  near  home,  being  at  one  time  time  four 
lengths  and  a  half  ahead.  Paddy  then  went  to  the  front, 
closely  followed  by  Bushey  Park,  and  won  easily.  The  bet- 
ting was  5  to  2  against  Paddy,  4  to  1  against  Bushey  Park,  6 
to  I  each  against  Braemar  and  Insurance,  8  to  1  agninst 
Cypria,  and  12  to  1  each  against  Medici,  Lady  Margery,  Gab- 
rielle and  Gallant  Queen.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  A.SD  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH  CAIRN"  SIMPSON. 

Why  DISCRIMINATE 7— It  has  been  a  favorite  argument 
among  tbe  few  who  have  been  in  opposition  to  the  Occi- 
dental that  membership  in  the  National  had  many  advan- 
tages. If  so  good  in  that  association,  it  should  be  still  bet- 
ter to  belong  to  the  American,  with  headquarters  some  twelve 
hundred  miles  nearer  this  Coast  and  with  a  membership  of 
over  eight  hundred  to  the  five  hundred  and  odd  in  the  Na- 
tional. Then  as  nearly  all  the  members  of  both  associations 
on  the  Pacific  Slope  combine  racing  with  trotting  and  pac- 
ing, a  code  of  laws  which  provides  for  both  classes  of  sport 
is  better  than  one  which  ignores  one  branch. 

It  was  for  this  reason  that  the  committee  on  by-laws  and 
rules  recommended  the  adoption  of  the  rules  of  the  Ameri- 
can until  the  next  annual  meeting,  as  that  would  do  away 
with  the  necessity  of  specifying  what  racing  rules  would  gov- 
ern and  the  brief  statement  Occidental  rules  be  sufficient. 
Even  that  would  not  be  required  .s-hen  membership  is  held 
in  the  home  institution  as  that  will  carry  the  point.  But 
under  the  same  line  of  argument  the  Occidental  is  better 
than  the  American  for  all  associations  in  the  territory  which 
is  nearer  San  Francisco  than  Chicago.  As  has  been  published 
heretofore,  not  only  penalties  imposed  by  both  of  tbe  Eastern 
associations,  including  .-uspensions  for  non-payment  of  en- 
trance, inflicted  before  January  first,  1894,  will  be  enforced, 
so  that  the  Eastern  associations  cannot  bring  the  accusation 
that  there  was  protection  for  those  under  ban. 

Inasmuch  as  the  collecting  agency  on  this  coast  has  been 
entirely  for  the  benefit  of  the  National  in  tbe  shape  of  fines 
and  penalties  transmitted;  for  Eastern  associations  in  the 
form  of  dues  collected,  it  does  appear  that  the  benefit  has  all 
been  on  one  side.  It  is  true  that  collections  have  been  made 
for  our  associations  by  our  own  members,  but  nothing  like 
the  amount  which  has  been  sent  East,  not  a  dollar,  so  far  as 
my  information  goes,  coming  from  the  East  here.  Neither 
is  it  likely  that  such  will  be  the  case  in  the  future,  as  our  folk 
who  trot  or  face  their  horses  on  Eastern  tracks  are  not  likely 
to  be  on  the  delinquent   list  for  unpaid  entrance. 

A  prominent  driver  related  tbe  trouble  he  had  in  adjusting 
a  line  incurred  in  San  Jose.  He  had  overlooked  paying  it, 
and  the  first  place  he  attempted  to  start  it  was  presented  and 
paid.  The  second  place  it  was  again  presented  and  before  he 
could  start  the  fine  was  brought  up.  The  money  had  to  be 
deposited  and  so  in  succession,  until  it  was  reported  from  the 
office  that  it  was  duly  liquidated,  there  was  the  same  trouble. 
A  receipt  upon  payment  of  the  fine  would  have  obviated 
this,  but  in  the  hurry  and  confusion  of  the  start  in  a  race, 
this  is  overlooked  and  neglected  thereafter.  Reports  have  tc 
he  made  within  one  week  of  the  close  of  the  meeting,  in  or- 
der to  make  suspension  for  non-payment  of  entrance  valid, 
and  within  ten  days  of  the  close  reports  of  fines  to  the  Na- 
tional. Suspension  dates  from  the  time  the  fine  i(  was  im- 
posed, or  demanded,"  it  is  a  question  whether  all  of  the  in- 
tricate laws  connected  with  penalties,  especially  fines,  can  be 
put  in  force  without  long  delay,  and,  perhaps,  serious  injus- 
tice to  tbe  parties  interested  under  the  old  vassalage.  I  have 
heretofore  shown  that  "  temporary  re-instatement"  is  prac- 
tically out  of  the  question,  when  "written,  verified  state- 
ments" have  to  be  sent  to  Hartford,  aod  from  Hartford  to 
the  President,  from  this  side  of  the  country,  aod  there  are 
other  cases  in  which  it  is  nearly  as  impracticable  to  obtain 
relief. 

A  shade  better  if  the  American  the  governing  power,  but 
both  so  far  inferior  to  a  home  institution  that  it  would  appear 
like  underrating  the  good  sense  of  the  community  to  spend 
words  in  argument  when  once  fairly  understood.  But  there 
has  been  such  a  determined  effort  to  misrepresent  the  true 
situation,  and  to  depend  upon  statements  without  corrobora- 
tive proof  to  carry  the  point,  that  it  becomes  necessary  to  go 
over  the  ground  again  and  again.  It  is  still  claimed  that 
records  will  not  be  accepted  by  the  A.  T.  R.  A.  which  are 
made  on  tracks  which  do  not  hold  membership  in  the  N.  T. 
A.  or  A.  T.  A.  Some  weeks  ago  in  this  department  that  was 
corrected,  and  last  week  on  the  editorial  page  of  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman-  the  explanatory  note  which  is  used  as  a 
preface  to  the  Year  Book  was  copied.  That  effectually  dis- 
poses of  that  point.  Any  reasonable  number  of  records  asked 
for  with  a  dagger  ( t)  preceding  them,  and  that  is  explained 
"  an  official  report  from  a  non-member."  Not  a  few  prefixed 
by  a  sign  which  is  explained  "indicates  a  non-official 
report." 

There  is  an  explanation  which  may  account  for  the  dis- 
crimination in  favor  of  the  National.  The  American,  with 
only  twenty-five  per  cent,  of  th«  members  in  California,  ten 
against  thirty-one,  had  few  debit  charges,  these  being  for 
supplies.  No  humiliating  reports  from  its  treasurer  that  Cal- 
ifornia was  an  incumbrance.  That  more  money  was  expended 
than  received.  That  those  who  desired  government  by  their 
own  people  were  a  set  of  ungrateful  "kickers,"  growling  after 
the  crusts  were  bestowed.  Bad  enough  to  be  the  recipient  of 
charity  without  having  the  eleemosynary  contribution  pub. 
lished  to  the  world.  Rather  lowering  to  one's  self  respect  to 
wear  the  badge  of  Kervitude  under  the  lappel  of  the  coat,  but 
when  that  is  pulled  from  its  hiding  place  and  the  beggar's  garb 
i'utcd,  the  humiliation  is  complete. 

Tne  American  has  spared  us  that  trial,  and  lost  advocates 
by  so  doing. 

Ami  one  of  the  itemn,  perhaps  more  than  one  item  in  that 
hill  of  expense,  is  a  reminder  of  the  dictatorship  which  ruled 
before  the  chains  were  broken,  though  with  a  grain  ortwo  of 
hoti -faction,  inasmuch  as  it  swelled  the  credits  to  an  amount 
which  would  clear  one  of  the  heaviest  charges  in  the  treas- 
urer^ balance  sheet,  and  f  trnst  in  his  next  communication 
to  tin  |ir.  Mr  Power*  will  admit  that  California  is  clear. 
If  still  a  balance,  let  it  be  known,  and  a  subscription  will  be 
inaugurated  to  make  up  the  deficiency.  All  I  ask  is  a  plain 
statement,  and  not  a  very  long  one  at  that.    Simply  thus:

The  Champion  Electioneer. — It  is  so  close  a  race  be- 
tween the  entire  sons  of  Electioneer  as  "producers"  that 
much  will  depend  upon  the  basis  fixed  to  govern  the  award. 
And  there  will  be  leanings  which,  stiive  as  one  may,  will  in- 
fluence the  verdict  Thus  it  may  be  said  that  were  I  to  pro- 
nounce in  favor  of  Anteeo,  the  fact  of  having  bred  him  and 
his  dam  blinded  me  in  his  favor.  This  much,  however,  is  a 
matter  of  record  that  he  "  heads  the  list" so  far  as  numbers 
tell  as  his  eighteen  trotters  testify,  the  nearest  approach  being 
St.  Bel  with  thirteen  trotters  and  one  pacer,  and  Chimes  with 
ten  trotters  and  five  pacers.  The  last  named  has  very  strong 
grounds  to  sustain  his  claim  for  the  premiership,  as  his  three- 
year-old  daughter,  Fantasy,  2:0S£,  is  the  fastest  descendant  of 
Electioneer  by  one  of  his  sons.  Then  Anteeo  has  a  daughter 
of  thesame  age,  Eoiine,  2:14^,  and  as  I  understand  the  situa- 
tion she  has  never  been  asked  to  go  faster  than  her  competi- 
tors could  force  her.  Then  Anteeo  has  a  pacing  grandson 
which  has  a  quarter  of  a  second  the  best  of  Fantasy,  and  that 
is  a  token  that  another  generation  will  not  be  behind  in  up- 
holding the  glory  of  the  tribe.  But  there  is  one  point  I  am 
willing  to  concede  that  the  sons  of  Beautiful  Bells  have  the 
best  of  the  discussion,  over  those  of  Columbine,  three  of  them 
having  got  twenty-seven  trotters  and  seven  pacers,  while 
Columbine's  trio  stand  at  twenty-five  and  five.  It  is  quite 
true  that  St..  Bel  and  Chimes  had  the  advantage  of  being  in 
two  of  the  largest  trotting  establishments  in  the  country,  but 
Bell  Boy  had  a  short  career  before  his  death  and  St.  Bel  came 
to  a  premature  end,  and  while  making  this  admission  I  desire 
Iconoclast,  ray  esteemed  opponent  in  regard  to  the  value  of 
near  strains  of  racing  blood  in  fast  trotters,  to  bear  in  mind 
that  while  granting  a  strietly-trotting-bred  mare  the  first 
place  in  so  important  a  quality,  that  I  also  hold  that  it  does 
not  take  away  from  the  value  of  the  one  in  the  second  place- 
There  is  another  mare  which  is  likely  to  give  both  Beautiful 
Bells  and  Columbine  the  closest  kind  of  a  race  for  the  honor, 
and  as  she  is  also  trottiDg-bred  there  are  two  to  one  at 
present  on  that  side.  That  is  Sprite,  by  Belmont  (Alexander's) 
Sphinx  with  twelve  trotters  and  one  pacer  and  Egotist  ten 
trotters,  so  that  the  two  rank  very  close  with  the  two  highest 
of  the  others.  Elector  (Richards')  is  well  to  the  front  with 
twelve  trotters  and  one  pacer,  and  Eros  with  nine  trotters, 
Norval  with  eight  and  Ansel  with  seven  are  in  good  position. 
Albert  W.  with  five  trotters  and  three  pacers,  one  of  them 
Little  Albert,  of  such  high  renown  as  to  stand  for  a  good 
many  of  mediocre  ability,  and  Whips,  with  only  five  at  pres- 
ent, cannot  be  left  out  of  the  calculation. 

I  am  inclined  to  the  belief  that  were  the  question  submitted 
to  a  person  without  any  leaning.  Chimes  would  be  given  the 
championship  on  the  records  as  they  now  stand.  Fantasy  is 
a  tower  of  strength,  and  twist  and  squirm  as  the  most  bitter 
opponents  of  "royal  blood'*  may,  there  is  no  controverting  the 
fact  that  as  by  far  the  best  of  his  get  carries  a  near  strain  of 
the  lapis  lazuli  fluid,  that  must  be  awarded  some  of  the  credit. 
That  the  dam  of  the  sire  of  Beautiful  Bells  was  one  of  the 
clan  is  also  the  belief  of  those  who  had  the  best  opportunity 
of  knowing,  and  had  it  been  otherwise  than  that  the  crusade 
demanded  exterminating  warfare,  it  would  have  been  so  re- 
corded. Waterwitch,  the  dam  of  Sprite,  is  not  very  far  re- 
moved from  the  thoroughbred  as  is  Vol.  3  of  the  Register 
herpsdigree  is  recorded,  "grandam  by  one  of  Major  Jiamuel 
Davenport's  thoroughbred,  horses,  believed  to  be  Oliver." 

Too  earlv  yet  to  determine  which  of  the  sons  of  Electioneer 
will  wear  the  crown.  In  my  opinion  the  nearest  to  the  Crown 
Prince's  station  was  Palo  Alto,  as  it  is  beyond  question  that 
his  showing  was  the  best  under  the  same  circumstances.  A 
two-year. old,  Avena,  2:19i,  Palatine,  two  years,  2:23A,  Rio 
Alto,  two  years,  2:22:},  and  Fillmore,  three  years,  2:21:].  With 
the  exception  of  Avena,  these  are  race  records,  and  she  trot- 
ted in  2:27  in  a  race.  It  is  my  impression  that  his  oldest  colts 
were  foaled  in  1S90.  so  that  none  of  his  get  older  than  three 
years  have  started,  and  it  is  also  my  belief  that  all  told  there 
are  only  some  thirty-odd. 

It  may  be  an  object  lesson  to  show  how  the  sons  of  Elec- 
tioneer trom  highly  bred  dams  figure  in  the  list.  It  was  the 
first  plea  that  these  would  not  trot  fast.  When  that  was  dis- 
proved the  favorite  argument  was  lhat  they  would  not 
"  breed  on."  There  are  seventeen  sons  of  Electioneer  which 
have  four  or  more  in  the  list  to  their  credit,  six  of  which  are 
from  half-bred  or  thoroughbred  mares,  three  of  ihem  from 
thoroughbred  mares.  Forty-one  trotters  and  five  pacers. 
Rather  more  than  one-third  of  the  number,  aod  this  is  far 
above  the  ratio  of  tbe  mares  bred. 


An  Absurd  Adhesion  to  old  customs  is  that  which  gives 
false  lime  in  the  great  majority  of  the  races  which  are  run, 
trotted  or  paced  in  the  United  States.  The  watches  used  may 
all  mark  fifths,  the  time  hung  out  in  q'nrters  and  halves. 
There  would  be  just  as  good  reasons  for  discarding  fractions, 
vulgar  and  decimal,  as  to  change  from  fifths  to  quarters,  and 
in  California  the  earlier  practice  was  to  give  the  true  figures. 
Thus  in  the  State  Fair  report  of  the  races  in  1869,  every 
heat,  with  one  exception, when  fractions  of  a  second  are  given, 
fifths  are  used.  In  the  exception  Maggie  Dale  won  the  first 
heat  in  l:48i{,  Tophet  the  second  and  third  in  1:49--1:">1  ■ . 

In  these  old  days  printing  offices  did  not  have  as  handy 
types  to  marl:  fifths  as  quarters,  and  that  is  stilt  the  trouble  in 
very  many  cases,  but  that  was  overcome  as  shown  by  the 
above  figures.  The  "  official  timer  "  of  the  Jockey  Club 
carries  a  watch  which  registers  fifttis.  The  explanation  he 
gave  for  changing  to  quarters  was  that  the  piece  of  board  on 
which  the  figures  are  painted  are  marked  with  quarters  and 
halves.  This  change  may  be  the  reason  for  disagreements 
between  ollicial  and  outside  time.  The  official  watch  murks 
two-fifths,  that  is  called  a  quarter,  and  very  properly,  as  it  is 
within  five  hundreds  of  a  second  of  the  real  time,  whereas  a 
half  would  be  ten  hundreths  out  of  the  way.  An  outsider 
gets  three-fifths,  and  this  he  arbitrarily  calls  three-quarters. 
Therefore,  with  only  one-twentieth  of  a  Becond  variation  be- 
tween them  there  is  a  reported  half  a  second  and  the  ollicial 
is  abused  for  his  want  of  capacity  or  carelessness.  The  simple 


rule  should  be  that  the  time  must  be  reported  as  shown.  If 
the  watches,  or  the  majority  of  those  in  the  stand  marks 
quarters,  these  should  govern  ;  if  fifths,  let  that  be  the  an- 
nouncement. 

It  has  been  claimed  that  the  compiler  of  the  Year  Book 
will  not  accept  fifths,  though  he  has  no  more  right  to  refuse 
than  he  has  to  reject  the  time  entirely  or  to  change  the  plac- 
ing. 

Let  us  be  exact  in  that  overwhelmingly  important  con- 
sideration,the  lime  of  a  fast  trotter  or  pacer.  Let  us  further 
suppose  that  the  discrepancies  in  the  hypothetical  matches 
had  occurred  in  a  trotting  race  in  which  Arion,  Kremlin  or 
some  other  magnate  of  the  track, was  perfurming.  Some 
wrapt  admirer  of  Directum  had  been  the  slow  timer,  for  in- 
stance, or  he  had  been  in  proximity  to  the  one  who  disputed 
the  official  time.  Straightway  he  would  jump  to  the  conclu- 
sion that  it  was  a  job,  and  if  they  could  not  knock  out  his 
idol  bv  fair  means,  malignant  conspiracy  should  effect  the 
purpose.  Suppose  it  was  the  other  way  and  the  official  had, 
out  of  habit,  perhaps,  added  fourths  to  the  three  in  place  of 
knocking  off"  a  -enth  of  a  second,  and  outsiders  with  quarter 
second  watches  had  it  2:05J  and  those  with  fifth  movements 
said  2:05  2-5. 

Oh  my  !  Colonel  Pete,you  would  belcousigned  to  never-end- 
ing torments,  hauled  over  the  coals  the  whole  summer  and 
roasted  on  every  red-hot  stove  from  Maine  to  Minnesota  dur- 
ing the  winter.  And  the  thorougbbred-in-the-trotter  fel- 
lows would  be  sure  of  a  raking  down.  Directum  must  not  be 
downed  owing  to  his  two  near  crosses  of  California  Bel- 
mont. 

Either  horn  of  the  dilemna  would  be  bad,  the  last  hypo- 
thesis raise  a  howl  of  indignation  which  would  be  averted  by 
accuracy  in  timing.

Inexplicable. — A  letter  from  Sam  Gamble  in  the  Spirit 
of  the  Times  is  so  far  beyond  my  comprehension,  in  respect 
to  the  statements  he  makes,  that  I  am  utterly  at  a  loss  to  un- 
derstand the  object  he  has  in  making  them.  The  most  char- 
itable conclusion  is  that  he  has  got  so  mixed  up  since  his  late 
trip  to  the  East  that  he  cannot  take  a  common  sense  view  of 
the  case,  for  surely  the  notoriety  gained  is  small  recompense 
for  the  position  it  places  him  in.  The  first  I  saw  in  relation 
to  the  matter  was  in  the  American  Sportsman,  aod  gave  it 
little  attention,  deeming  it  one  of  those  idle  rumors  which  by 
being  oflen  times  rehearsed  gain  in  bulk  so  much  as  to  look 
like  the  truth.  Then  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  took  it  up, 
and  my  opinion,  after  reading  the  comments  in  that  paper, 
was  that  it  was  giving  it  too  much  importance  and  that  there 
would  be  prompt  denial  when  the  reputed  author  became  aware 
of  the  publication.  The  Sportsman  proves  to  have  published 
on  good  authority,  but  when  the  editor  of  the  Stock  Farm 
reads  the  letter  in  the  Spirit  he  will  not  need  other  testimony 
to  convince  him  that  it  is  a  silly  attempt  to  injure. 

The  Stock  Farm  publishes:  "The  public  should  know 
what  the  evidence  is."  It  is  now  before  the  people,  an  anony- 
mous tale  that  it  was  raining  when  Stamboul  trotted  and 
that  he  and  the  sulky  were  covered  with  mud. 

Xo  one  stands  higher  than  Mr.  Langford  in  the  estimation 
of  his  neighbors,  not  a  single  person  who  is  acquainted  with 
Mr.  Covey  who  will  believe  him  capable  of  taking  nine  or 
ten  seconds  from  the  time  made.  A  fraction  of  a  second  differ- 
ence between  watches  is  readily  accounted  for,  with  a  whole 
handful  of  them  subtracted  the  only  explanation  possible,  in- 
tended rascality.  Those  who  attended  the  investigation,  con- 
ducted by  the  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals,  are  well  aware  lhat 
it  was  thorough  and  established  beyond  all  reasonable  doubts 
that  the  claim  that  the  time  as  given  was  not  made  had  prac- 
tically no  foundation.  Mr.  Gamble's  opinion:  "I  say  uow, 
and  always  have  said,  that  it  would  be  impossible  for  anv 
harness  animal  to  step  a  mile  in  the  rain  and  mud  in  2:07  a, 
and  again  to  me  the  2:1(U  mile  in  the  rain  and  mud,  so 
claimed  ou  the  other  side,  is  the  greatest  mile  ever  trotted  to 
harness  under  the  circumstances"  and  the  story  of  the  two 
men  who  got  to  the  track  in  time  to  see  Stamboul  coming  off 
"all  covered  over  with  mud,"  will  have  little  weight  at 
home,  though  it  may  mislead  on  the  other  side  of  the 
continent.

A  Pacing  Palo  Alto. — In  the  purse  for  three-year-old 
pacers  eligible  to  the  2:18  class,  to  be  decided  at  the  Grand 
Circuit  meeting  at  Buffalo  next  August,  Pleaianton  Stock 
Farm  has  named :  Rokeby,  by  Director — Lillie  Stanley,  and 
Alta  Vila,  by  Palo  Alto — Kittie  Sultan.  Palo  Alto,  accord- 
ing to  general  belief,  should  be  one  son  of  Electioneer  who 
would  not  get  pacers,  but  that  he  has,  and  in  all  probability 
a  fairly  good  one  is  evident  from  the  above  entry.  In  the 
two-year-old  trotting  2:40  .class,  Mr.  Salisbury  "has  named 
Cressida,  by  Palo  Alto — Clara  Belle,  by  AbdallahStar;  in  the 
two-year-old  trotting,  2:30  class,  Mary  Osborn,  by  Azmoor — 
Elsie,  by  General  Benton  ;  in  the  three-year-old  trotting,  2:30 
class,  Rio  Alto,  by  Palo  Alto — Elsie,  by  General  Benton,  aod 
Expressive,  and  in  the  four-year-old,  trotting,  2:22  class, 
Bell  Bird,  by  Electioneer — Beautiful  Bells. 

With  the  exception  of  Rokeby,  and  in  doubt  about  where 
the  pacing  filly  by  Palo  Alto  was  bred,  the  others  are  from 
Palo  Alto.  As  Avena  is  not  ineligible  to  the  four-year-old, 
2:22  being  the  limit,  and  therefore  not  named,  it  may  be  that 
her  last  year's  ailment  has  not  been  overcome.  If  it  has  been 
there  is  not  a  four-year-old  in  the  country,  not  even  Fantasy 
or  Eoiine,  which  can  afford  to  trifle  with  her.  She  could 
have  shown  a  two-minute  gait  this  time  last  year,  and  when 
a  two-year-old,  in  her  race  at  Oakland,  she  came  from  the 
bridge  to  the  wire,  a  little  short  of  a  furlong,  at  a  clip  which 
would  trouble  the  fastest.  But  thather  sire  should  be  the  pro- 
genitor of  a  pacer  was  little  expected,  and  is  additional  proof 
that  whatever  the  breeding  there  will  be  a  tendency  to  the 
lateral  movement.

Action — "The  Sporting  Dictionary,"  the  first  installment 
of  which  covers  a  page  of  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  of  April 
1st,  will,  doubtless,  prove  a  valuable  lexicon  of  the  words 
which  are  peculiar  to  the  field  of  sport.  No  less  than  fifty- 
seven  different  departments,  from  base-ball  to  falconry,  twen- 
ty-odd of  which,  however,  are  under  the  general  head  of 
games  with  cards. 

It  could  hardly  be  expected  that  any  one  man  could  be  fa- 
miliar with  all  these  topics,  at  least  very  unlikely  to  be  suf- 
ficiently well  posted  as  to  avoid  mistakes.  But  judging  from. 
the  definition  given  ol  action  it  will  be  necessary  for  the  edi

tor  to  consult  authorities  wheo  "The  Horse"  is  the  subject. 
For  instance  : 

"Action'. — A  horse  is  spoken  of  as  having  tine  action, 
meaning  that  he  is  not  to  be  found  fault  with  ;  that  he  is  cal- 
culated to  make  a  very  valuable  roadster,  45." 

The  opening  clause  under  action  in  Weaster  would  have 
given  a  better  idea.  "A  process  or  condition  of  acting  or 
moving,  as  opposoi  to  ren."  M  iveraeatof  the  feet  and  limbs. 
45  would  be  a  terse  explanation,  45  giving  the  cue  to  The 
Horse.  And  by  the  wav,  the  system  of  u^ing  numerals  in 
place  of  adding  the  subject  after  every  definition  is  a  eood 
idea.  But  Mr.  Watson,  in  all  probability,  has  little  knowledge 
of  this  part  of  his  task,  and  I  fully  sympathise  with  him  be- 
forehand in  the  trouble  which  is  inevitable,  in  the  endeavor 
toeolightea  the  general  reader  to  a  better  uaderstanding  of 
"  the  professional  and  technical  term^  an  1  in  allspirt-i  and 
games.  Had  <:  the  horse"  been  left  out  of  the  category  ; 
had  the  action  of  horses  been  tabooed  at  the  outset,  that  phrase 
passed  with  one  general  definition,  such  as  Webster  affords, 
or  it  may  be  thit  the  Century  died  inarv  will  furnish  a  bat- 
ter, the  difficulty  would  be  lessened.  But  that  would  not  be 
in  accordance  with  the  prospectus  and  in  order  that  he  mar 
be  in  a  measure  prepared  for  the  ta-^k  some  of  the  techni- 
calities are  presented.  High  action,  round  action,  bold 
action,  stiff,  rapid,  smooth,  rough,  pointing,  dwelling,  wide, 
6trong,  uervou-*,  forcible,  each  of  these  adjectives  having  ac- 
tion as  an  appendage.  Then  there  are  knee  action,  hock 
action,  stifle  action,  shoulder  action,  trotting,  pacing  and  gal- 
lopios  action.  Saddlers'  methods  of  progression  are  usually 
termed  gaits,  but  there  are  park  actioo,  hackney  action, 
showy  and  slovenly  action,  cow  action,  springy  action,  etc., 
etc  That  is  not  all,  however,  as  there  are  daisy-cutters  and 
high  gallopers,  mud  larks  and  a  whole  lot  more,  so  extensive 
a  vocabulary  to  draw  upon  that  it  would  require  a  course  of 
mnemonics  to  recall  the  words  that  are  frequently  heard  when 
the  horse  is  the  topic. 

It  will  not  take  a  great  deal  of  research,  however,  to  learn 
that  the  definition  already  given  is  a  little  faulty.  A  horse 
having  "  6ne  action"  might  have  so  many  faults  and  these  so 
apparent,  that  a  neophyte  would  discover  them,  as  to  be 
worthless,  and  then  again  there  are  some  real  "good  'uns" 
with  action  that  cannot  be  fully  commended.  With  the  very 
best  action,  a  horse  may  not  be  a  "very  valuable  roadster." 

That  the  work  when  completed  will  be  valuable  I  have  not 
the  least  doubt,  and  in  presenting  the  difficulties  which  beset 
the  tutor  in  this  department  of  the  work,  am  far  from  wish- 
ing to  discourage  him  from  that  part  of  the  field.  But  fore- 
warned is  forearmed,  and  a  hint  of  the  weight  of  the  job  in 
hand  may  be  productive  of  good.  With  the  best  wishes  for 
his  success,  I  hope  that  this  early  criticism  will  not  give  of- 
fense, or  the  advice  be  considered  impertinence. 

Jos.  Cairn  Simpson. 

Stout  Blood  in  the  Trotter. 

I  want  to  encourage  Mr.  Forbes  a  little  before  he  breeds 
Starlight  to  the  thoroughbred  imp.  Meddler,  so  will  hand  you 
the  names  of  some  of  the  has-beens,  with  breediog,  etc.  Take 
Arrow,  for  instance  ;  he  was  foaled  February  5,  1S33,  by  A. 
W-  Richmond,  out  of  Crichton's  First,  by  Crichton,  by  imp. 
Glencoe.  Then  the  question  comes  up  :  How  was  Richmond 
bred?  He  was  by  Simpson's  Black  Bird,  he  by  Camden,  a 
soo  of  Shark,  by  American  Eclipse,  and  he  by  Duroc,  son  of 
imp.  Diomed,  who  was  foaled  in  1777,  and  was  imported  in 
1798,  when  twenty-one  years  of  age,  at  a  cost  of  £50,  and  the 
winner  of  the  first  English  Derby. 

Well,  was  Arrow  any  good?  His  races  and  record  will 
answer.  Maud  S.  was  by  Harold,  out  of  Miss  Russell,  by 
Pilot  Jr.,  son  of  old  pacing  Pilot.  The  dam  of  Pilot  Jr.  was 
by  Funk's  Havoc,  by  Sir  Charles,  by  Sir  Archy.  Miss  Rus- 
sell's dam  was  Sally  Russell,  by  Boston,  by  Timoleon,  by  Sir 
Archy  ;  second  dam  Maria  Russell,  by  Thornton's  Rattler,  by 
Sir  Archy  ;  third  dam  Miss  Shepherd,  by  Stockholder,  by  Sir 
Archy;  fourth  dam  Miranda,  by  Topgallant,  by  imp.  Diomed; 
fifth  dam  by  imp.  Diomed.  Boston's  dam  was  by  Ball's  Flori- 
zell,  by  Diomed.  !No  u-e  talking,  you  must  not  have  the 
running  foolishness  they  tell  you,  but  when  you  get  one  that's 
anv  go"d,  they  are  full  of  it.  Xow  Harold  was  by  Hamble- 
tonian  10. 

We  all  know  who  sired  him.  Taking  his  breeding  as  cor- 
rect; out  of  the  Kent  mare,  by  imp.  Bellfounder,  dam  One 
Eve,  by  Bishop's  HambletoniaD,  a  thoroughbred,  graodam 
Silvertail,  by  imp.  Messenger,  what  have  we  got  in  Maud  S  , 
a  dunghill  or  a  thoroughbred  ?  We  must  admit  it  was  a  case 
ol  guess  when  they  bred  to  get  her.  Take  the  horse  Venture,  a 
running-bred  animal,  with  a  record  of  2:27^,  made  in  1S77, 
was  sired  by  Belmont,  a  thoroughbred,  by  American  Boy,  son 
of  Seagull,  out  of  Prunella,  bred  bv  King  William  IV.,  im- 
ported by  Commodore  Stockton  ;  Miss  Mostvn,  dam  of  Ven- 
ture, by  American  Boy  Jr.,  out  of  Fanny  Mostyn,  daughter 
of  Grey  Medoc;  what  do  we  have  in  Venture?  Watch  the 
produce  of  some  of  Venture's  dams,  hunt  up  the  dams  of  some 
of  the  fastest  trotters  in  the  world  and  see  where  their  moth- 
ers cyme  from.  You  are  liable  to  find  a  little  of  the  running 
foolishness,  and  you  must  lay  it  to  old  Venture's  door. 

I  think,  if  I  am  not  very  much  mistaken,  little  John 
Kelly  drove  a  son  of  one  of  Venture's  daughters  latt  sum- 
mer. 

Back  in  1839  we  had  some  good  horses;  of  cuurse  the 
tracks  were  but  little  better  or  faster  than  good  roads.  Sul- 
kies then  weighed  80  pounds ;  still  the  horses  of  that  day 
wonld  trot  two  and  three  mile  heats,  as  Dutchman  and  Lady 
Suffolk  did  April  27, 1S39,  Beacon  Course,  N.  Y.,  two  mile 
heats  in  5:09  and  5:1 1.  July  4, 1S39, Dutchman  went  against 
Awful  over  the  same  course  in  a  race,  three  mile  heats  to 
harness.  Dutchman  distanced  him  in  first  heat,  7:41 ;  this 
was  remarkable  time  and  remained  unbeaten  for  maDy 
years. 

Don't  forget  that  he  drew  a  sulky  weighing  82  pounds. 
Wonder  if  Dutchman  had  any  of  the  running  blood  in  bim 
that  so  manv  breeders  kept  away  f.  om  for  years  and  years. 

Rams  made  his  record  in  1877,  2:1S},  at  Buffalo  in  the 
month  of  August.  The  gap  between  his  best  record  and  that 
of  Maud  S.  was  not  covered  until  seven  seasoos  had  passed. 
Rarus  was  a  well-bred  horse,  and  it  took  lots  of  the  blood  of 
Diomed  to  clip  anything  off  his  record-  George  Wilkes  was 
a  great  race  horse — wonder  if  his  mother  had  any  of  the  run- 
ning blood — Dolly  Spanker's,  by  Henry  Clay,  by  Andrew 
Jackson.'Dolly  Spanker,  dam  bv  old  Telegraph,  hy  Baker's 
Highlander,  by  Paul  S.,  he  bv  Kellogg's  Highlander,  son  of 
Sherman's  Morgan.  Take  old  Screwdriver,  foaled  1819,  by 
Mount  Holly,  on  the  turf  from  1824  to  1828,  trotted  two 
three-mile  heats  against  Betsy  Baker,  8:02-8:10.  He  was  re- 
garded the  emperor  of  all  horses  in  his  day. 


All  the  good  horses  we  have  for  any  usfe  spriog  from  the 
imported  stock.  The  horse  was  unknown  in  America  before 
1493,  when  Columbus  on  his  second  voyaae  brought  several 
with  him.  Still  we  have,  up  to  date,  raise*  the  fastest  run- 
ners, trotters  and  pacers  in  the  world.  If  such  men  as  Mr. 
Forbes  comes  to  the  front,  there  is  no  telling  what  we  may 
get.  Ten  years  ago,  if  a  man  owned  an  old  mare  be  was  told 
he  could  get  a  world  beater  if  he  would  get  a  colt  from  any 
horse  who  could  boast  of  having  Hambletonian  blood  ;  they 
tilled  the  woods  with  a  lot  of  old  duoghills.  You  cannot 
get  a  good  colt  or  filly  from  a  poor  mare  any  more  than  you 
can  get  a  smart,  bright  boy  or  girl  from  a  no-account  mother. 
The  sooner  people  tind  it  out,  the  better — the  country  would 
be  full  of  Abe  Liocolns,  Daniel  Websters,  Henry  Clays, 
Thomas  Jeffersons  and  General  Grants,  if  we 
bad  the  mothers  to  give  us  such  boys.  The  country 
would  be  full  of  fine  horses,  if  we  had  plenty  of  Miss  Rus- 
sells,  Dolly  Spankers,  Green  Mountain  Maids,  Midnights,  and 
Gano  mares,  also  dams  iike  the  one  that  gave  us  a  Wood- 
ford Mambrino,  a  Dexter,  etc. 

You  will  often  here  people  remark:  "  Look  at  that  old 
pacer,"  as  though  the  poor  pacer  had  no  breeding.  Well,  he 
has.  Take  Richball,  you  may  tie  him,  but  you  can't  beat 
him.  Take  Sleepy  Tom,  take  Kate  Allen,  Mattie  Hunter, 
Direct,  Lucy,  Brown  Jug,  Brown  Hal  and  many  others.  Go 
way  back  to  the  day  of  the  Narragansett  pacer;  he  was  a 
thoroughbred,  so  to  speak. 

Take  it  back  in  1854,  when  Grav  Eddy  trotted  to  wagon 
and  the  driver  to  weigh  400  lbs.  He  won  a  race  same  year 
to  sulky,  straight  heats,  best  time  2:30£.  How  was  he  bred? 
Take  Flora  Temple — how  have  they  improved  on  her  breed- 
ing ?  Take  Captain  Lewis,  2:20],  d;d  he  have  any  thor- 
oughbred in  him? — Jos.  L.  Day.  iu  Turf,  Field  and  Farm.

The  2:10  List. 


The  2:10  list  of  trotters,  now  numbering  twenty-three,  is 
indebted  to  two  single  top  crosses  for  more  than  two-thirds  of 
that  number,  viz.:  Hambletonian-American  Star  and  Ham- 
bletonian-Clay. The  fastest  performer  of  the  Hambletonian- 
Star  cross  is  Xancy  Hancy,  2:04,  while  the  distinction  of 
holding  the  post  of  honor  of  the  Hambletonian-Clay  cross  is 
shared  equally  by  Arion  and  Alix,  each  with  a  record  of 
2:07|.  Leaving  out  Little  Albert,  2:10,  that  is  a  Hamble- 
tonian-Star-Clay  combination  s.  t.  b.,  seven  2:10  performers 
of  the  Hambletonian-Star  cross  average  2:07?,  while  eight 
members  of  the  2:10  list  that  represent  the  Hambletonian- 
Clay  cross  have  an  average  record  of  2:081,  or  to  be  exact, 
2:08  23-32.  It  will  thus  appear  that  the  Hambletonian-Star 
cross  has  the  best  of  the  average  record  by  about  1\  seconds, 
but  if  George  Wilkes  is  regarded  as  a  Hambletonian-Clay,  as 
his  accepted  pedigree  makes  him,  four  more  2:10  trotters  will 
be  added  to  this  cross,  giving  the  Hambletooiau-Star  lioe 
only  seven  2:10  trotters  to  twelve  for  the  Hambletonian- 
Clay  cross.  As  Little  Albert,  2:10,  is  by  Albert  W.,  a  son  of 
Electioneer,  a  Hambletonian  Clay  sire,  and  his  dam  given  as 
a  "Star  mare,  pedigree  untraced,"  it  is  safe  to  add  him  to  the 
Hambleton;an-Clay  family,  and  this  done  there  remains  but 
four  2:10  trotters  out  of  a  total  of  twenty-three  that  fail  to 
class  as  either  Hambletonian-Star  or  Hambletonian-Clay, 
while  the  remaining  four,  two,  Maud  S.,  2:08;},  and  Kelson, 
2:09,  are  largely  Hambletonian,  and  the  other  two,  Guy, 
2:09$,  and  Walter  E.,  2:10,  are  largely  Mambrino  Chief.  But 
as  the,  blood  of  Hambletonian  has  crossed  well  with  every 
other  known  trotting  strain,  and  also  with  thorough  blood, 
and  as  twenty-one  of  the  twenty-three  2:10  trotters  are  largely 
Hambletonian,  it  is  safe  te  say  that  to  Hambletonian  10  is 
due  the  credit  of  havinggiven  to  the  trotting  turf  its  list  of 
2:10  trotters.  A  close  inspection  of  the  2:20  list,  we  have,  no 
doubt,  would  show  an  equal  percentage  for  Hambletonian 
blood  over  all  other  strains,  and  yet  there  are  those  who  pre- 
tend not  to  believe  in  the  blood  of  Hambletonian  as  a  speed- 
producing  element. — Western  Horseman. 

Artificial   Impregnation. 


Who  would  ever  think  that  the  subject  of  artificial  im- 
pregnation as  first  practically  demonstrated  in  this  city  by 
Dr.  C.  E.  Farnum,  a  well-known  physician  and  surgeon, 
should  have  become  a  study  that  all  the  principal  veterina- 
rians in  the  world  are  now  becoming  interested  in. 

From  the  French  papers  we  learn,  the  success  of  artificial 
impregnation  among  the  French  veterinarians  who  have 
given  the  subject  great  consideration,  to  reduce  the  number 
of  barren  mares  and  increase  the  horse  production.  In  our 
own  country  this  is  no  longer  an  experiment  but  a  veritable 
success  to  add  to  the  greater  certainty  and  success  of  breeding 
all  classes  of  stock  as  well  as  horses.  Repiquet,  the  well 
known  authority,  says:  The  method  can  profitably  be  em- 
ployed for  the  following  purposes  :  1.  As  a  remedy  against 
certain  cases  of  sterility  impregnation  would  be  effective.  2. 
Iu  order  to  impregnate  several  mares  at  one  time.  In  this 
way  the  greatest  possible  use  is  made  of  a  valuable  stallion. 
The  reason  for  bringing  artificial  into  general  use  may  be 
summarized  as  follows:  First,  the  service  of  valuable  aged 
stallions  can  be  used  for  twice  the  usual  number  of  mares. 
Second,  the  getting  power  of  a  stallion  can  be  preserved  un- 
weakened  for  a  longer  period.  Third,  since  the  number  of 
foals  got  by  a  sure  stallion  can  be  doubled  or  even  trebled, 
the  gains  of  breeders  can  be  increased.  Fourth,  mares  which 
bear  with  difficulty  can  be  brought  to  foal  with  almost  infalli- 
ble certainty.  In  practice,  the  fourth  heading  is  of  great  im- 
portance. It  is  well  known  to  every  breeder  that  there  are 
a  number  of  broodmares  which,  after  foaling  a  number  of 
times,  often  remaio  unimpregnated.  This  is  caused  bv  an  ob- 
struction of  growth  arising  in  the  healing  from  a  previous 
injury.     Artificial  impregnation  overcomes  this  trouble. 

The  tangle  over  the  breeding  of  the  dam  of  Roy  Wilkes 
still  hangs  fire.  According  to  the  proofs  admitted,  Davis 
showed  that  Flora  was  bred  to  Sam,  a  horse  that  was  after- 
wards known  as  Blue  Bull,  in  September,  while  the  owner  of 
the  mare  swore  that  she  was  bred  in  the  spring  of  the  same 
year  to  Alfred.  As  she  had  a  foal  the  following  June,  it  is 
self-evident  that  it  was  not  by  Sam,  and  on  that  ground  the 
Register  Association  refused  to  accept  the  evidence  presented. 
H.  B.  Allen,  a  well-known  breeder  of  Waterloo,  Iowa,  inves- 
tigated the  breediog  of  Flora  several  years  ago.  He  showed 
that  she  was  by  a  horse  called  Alfred,  and  that  version  is  the 
one  that  will  stand  apparently  for  all  time. 


An  experiment  of  much  interest  and  momert  to  trotting- 
horse  breeders  is  to  be  'ried  this  season  at  Hartford,  Coon. 
In  the  Xutmeg  Slate  a  very  stringent  anti-pool-selling  law 
was  passed  last  year,  the  chief  result  of  which  was  to  cause 
the  abandonment  of  the  great  trotting  which  has  been  held 
annually  at  Hartford  for  so  long  a  time.  It  was  thought  that 
by  1894  some  construction  of  the  law  could  be  had  that  would 
make  it  safe  to  hold  a  trotting  meeting  with  the  usual  betting 
accompaniment,  but  this  pha-e  of  the  matter  has  not  been 
eventuated  satisfactorily,  and  now  it  is  proposed  to  try  the 
experiment  of  a  great  trotting  meetiog  without  betting. 
Naturally  the  announcement  has  occasioned  much  comment. 
The  almost  universal  opinion  of  those  familar  with  trotting  is 
that  speculation  on  the  result  is  an  inevitable  and  necessary 
feature  of  such  meetings,  but,  viewed  from  some  standpoints, 
this  contention  is  not  by  any  means  an  invulnerable  one  The 
facts  are  that  at  State  and  county  fairs  trotting  races  are  given 
every  year  at  which  betting  of  every  sort  is  tabooed,  and  yet 
it  is  not  claimed  that  these  races  are  poorly  attended  or  that 
they  lose  money. 

It  would  be  a  great  thing  for  trotting — the  best  thidg  that 
could  possibly  happen  it — if  a  big  meeting  without  belting 
could  be  given,  without  the  added  attraction  of  a  fair,  and 
show  a  balaoce  on  the  right  side  of  the  ledger.  That  this  is 
possible  of  accomplishment  in  a  town  like  Hartford  is  not  by 
any  means  remarkable,  but  it  will  never  be  done  in  large 
cities  like  Chicago  and  New  York.  Everybody  who  has  not 
a  financial  interest  in  keeping  it  alive  must  admit  that  gamb- 
ling is  the  bane  of  racing.  It  is  true  that  among  the  trotters 
it  has' not  yet  grown  to  be  a  positive  evil,  as  on  the  running 
turf,  for  in  the  latter  case  there  is  absolutely  nothing  to  up- 
hold the  so-called  sport  except  the  gambling  concessions,  and 
if  they  were  taken  away  the  whole  fabric  of  running  racing 
would  collapse  in  less  than  a  week.  It  is  only  for  the  gamb- 
ling attendant  thereon  that  the  continuous  running  meetings 
are  given,  and  winter  raciog,  the  curse  of  horseflesh,  has  no 
other  possible  excuse  or  reason  for  existence.  The  trotter  is 
the  horse  of  the  gentleman.  He  is  a  useful  animal  for  other 
purposes  than  racing,  and  if  he  could  be  freed  from  gambling 
he  would  bea  still  greater  object  of  national  pride.  Baseball, 
a  truly  national  sport,  does  not  need  gambling  attachments — 
in  fact,  gets  along  better  without — and  trotting  should  be 
raised  to  the  same  leveL 


Santa  Clara  Agricultural  Society. 


A  meeting  of  the  Agricultural  Association  District  No.  5 
was  held  at  the  Board  of  Trade  rooms  last  Tuesday  afternoon, 
at  which  there  were  present  Directors  Philo  Hersey  (presi- 
dent), T.  W.  HobsoD,  Paul  F.  Austin  and  James  T.  Rucker. 
Director  Quinn,  of  the  Agricultural  Society,  was  also  present. 

The  secretary  reported  entries  for  the  district  four-year- 
olds'  trotting  purse  as  follows  : 

Vendome  Stock  Farm's  b  s  Hillsdale,  by  Antinous,  dam 
Nettie  Nutwood. 

T.  S.  Montgomery's  blk  m  Ethel  Downs,  by  Boodle,  dam 
Nutwood  Wilkes. 

Suel  Harris'  b  f  Lottie  L.,  by  Director  H.,  dam  by  Briga- 
dier. 

S.  J.  Melanson's  b  f  Maud  M.,by  St.  John,  dam  Randol 
mare. 

Vioget  Stock  Farm's  br  f  Willema,  by  Eros,  dam  Maud. 

On  motion  it  was  ordered  that  this  purse  and  race  be  de- 
clared off,  it  having  failed  to  fill  to  the  satisfaction  of  the 
Board  of  Directors. 

The  matter  of  special  attractions  for  Fair  week  was  also 
considered,  but  it  was  deemed  too  early  for  definite  action. — 
San  Jose  Mercury. 


"Woodland's  Meeting. 


The  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Yolo  County  Agricultural 
Association  held  an  important  meeting  at  the  Court  house 
last  evening.    All  the  members  were  present  except  two. 

After  due  deliberation  and  discussion, they  decided  to  hold 
a  race  meeting  and  fair  at  Woodland  during  the  last  week  of 
August  and  the  first  week  of  September,  1S94. 

In  addition  to  the  purses  that  have  already  been  offered 
for  special  contests  on  the  above  dates,  the  Directors  decided 
to  offer  other  purses  and  also  premiums  for  stock  and  other 
exhibits. 

Secretary  Barney  reported  that  there  had  been  an  average 
of  nineteen  entries  in  each  of  the  seven  events  already  adver- 
tised. With  these,  and  the  additional  purses  to  be  offered, 
Woodland  will  oSer  the  best  speed  programme  of  any  in- 
terior town  in  the  State. 

Another  meeting  will  be  held  this  spring,  when  definite 
arrangement  and  announcements  will  be  made.

Is  explanation  of  the  action  of  the  Wash- 
ington Park  Club  in  refusing  to  grant  Judge 
Burke  a  release,  Mr.  Howard,  the  club's  sec- 
retary, is  reported  as  saying:  "  We  do  not 
want  to  stand  in  Mr.  Burke's  light  and  have 
no  feeling  against  The  ]  Jockey  Club,  but  we 
hardly  like  the  manner  in  which  the  subject 
has  been  broached  to  us.  It  would  appear 
that  the  Washington  Park  Club  is  considered 
a  comparatively  insignificant  factor  in  the 
case.  The  Washington  Park  Club,  however, 
does  not  play  second  fiddle  to  any  one.  T  do 
not  see  why  Mr.  Burke  cannot  make  an  ar- 
rangement with  The  Jockey  Club  and  at  the 
same  time  keep  the  engagement  here.  Our 
meeting  lasts  but  twenty-five  days,  and  why 
cannot  he  preside  here  and  on  The  Jockey 
Club  tracks  during  the  remainder  of  the  sea- 
son ?  We  consider  Mr.  Burke  the  most  valu- 
able man  in  this  or  any  country  in  the  posi- 
tion of  presiding  judge,  and  dislike  to  give  him 
up."

ing sons.  What  could  be  better  than  the  combination  of  Red  Wilkes,  the  greatest  living  sire  (havlngput  4  In  the 
2:15  list  last  season),  and  Dictator,  whose  sons  and  daughters  have  produced  the  world's  champions. 

Dlctatus  was  bred  by  W.  O.  Frarce,  of  Islington,  Ky.,  foaled  March  26th,  1890.  He  Is  level-headed,  hand- 
some, has  the  best  of  dispositions,  and  in  color  Is  a  chestnut:  star  in  forehead,  right  hind  pastern  white,  15'= 
bands  high  In  conformation  he  is  perfect,  with  an  iron  constitution,  and  the  best  of  feet  and  Ieg3.  He  traces 
four  times  to  Hambletonian  10,  through  those  great  sires,  George  Wilkes  517,  Dictator  113,  Harold  413,  and 
Abdallah  15;  twice  to  the  greatest  broodmare  sire,  Mimbrino  Palcben  .58,  three  times  to  Mambrino  Chief  11  and 
twenty-six  times  to  Imp.  Messenger.  His  blood  lines  are  not  surpassed  by  those  of  any  other  stallion  In 
America.  He  has  shown  extreme  speed,  and  is  the  making  of  a  great  race  horse,  and,  barring  accidents,  will 
certainly  get  a  fast  record  this  year. 

DICTATUS  will  make  the  season  of  1894,  commencing  February  Island  ending  June  1st, 
at  the  above  named  farm,  at 

$100    FOR    THE    SEASON.

j[OUB  favoriles  failed  to  finish  first 
this  afternoon,  and  the  talent  went 
home  with  heavy  hearts  and  light 
pocket-books.  The  track  was  nearly 
as  slow  as  it  ever  gets,  five  furlongs 
_  being  run  in  1:08  and  a  mile  in  1:51. 
YlThe  goiog  was  safe  enough,  how- 
^h^  ever,  and  no  accidents  marred  the 
day's  sport,  which  was  fairly  excit- 
ing. There  were  two  hot  finishes,  while  three  of  the  events 
were  won  fairly  easy.  The  attendance  was  good  and  the  bet- 
ting extremely  lively,  especially  in  the  last  three  races — mile 
elling,  six  furlongs,  for  three-year-olds  and  about 
six  furlongs  for  horses  of  all  ages.  Alex.  Covington 
again  rode  two  winners,  one  of  them  being  for  his  brother 
George,  who  has  won  two  races  this  week  with  Find  Out. 
Chevalier,  Coombs  and  Lloyd  also  piloted  winners  to-day. 

Find  Out  led  almost  from  the  first  jump  to  the  finish  in 
the  first  race,  beating  the  well-plaved  favorite,  El  Tiiano,  two 
lengths.  Coquette  was  third.  Venus,  also  much  liked,  fin- 
ished absolusely  last. 

In  the  second  Shamrock,  the  skyrocket,  led  up  to  the  last 
two  or  threejumps,  when  Cherokee,  under  whip,  headed  him 
and  won  by  about  three  parts  of  a  length.  Eosalle  finished 
third,  while  the  strongly  supported  favorite,  Seaside,  who  was 
at  about  9  to  5  most  of  the  time,  was  never  in  the  hunt. 

Hy  Dy,  the  favorite,  had  about  all  he  wanted  to  do  to  de- 
feat Dr.  Boss  in  the  third  race,  one  mile,  finally  landing  first 
in  a  drive  bv  a  neck,  with  Floodmore  third. 

Lovedal  landed  a  lot  of  money  for  Col.  Dan  Burns  and  his 
friends  when  he  won  the  six-furlong  handicap  for  three-year- 
olds.  Romulus'  rider  pulled  up  at  the  post,  probably  not 
thinking  it  a  "go,"  or  the  Brutus  colt  would,  in  the  language 
of  the  track  habitue,  have  "  won  the  block."  As  it  was,  he 
made  up  over  a  dozen  lengths  and  finished  a  fair  second, 
many  lengths  in  front  of  Eavine.  The  favorite,  Artist, 
killed  his  chances  at  the  post,  and  finished  last. 

Boston  Boy  won  the  last  race  quite  handily,  waiting  on 
Motto  and  Gussie  until  the  homestretch  was  reached.  Motto 
"quit  to  nothing,"  and  Gussie  finished  second,  Melanita 
third.

Seaside  was  a  hot  favorite  at  9  to  5,  but  though  heavily 
played  the  odds  remained  about  the  same.  Eosalle  was  at  34

Shamrock  was  leading  by  two  lengths,  Eosalle  second,  three 
lengths  from  Chula,  who  was  one  length  from  Cherokee. 
Shamrock  led  into  the  homestretch  •  by  two  lengths,  and 
Eosalle  had  run  up  second,  three  lengths  from  Chula.  Chero- 
kee was  still  fourth.  Cherokee  went  hy  Eosalle  an  eighth 
from  home,  and  at  the  drawgate  Chevalier  went  to  the  whip 
on  Cherokee.  So  well  did  he  respond  that  he  caught  the 
quitting  Shamrock  about  twenty  yards  from  the  finish,  and 
then  won  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Shamrock  second,  two

TWENTIETH  DAY— SATURDAY,  APRIL  28. 

Beautiful  weather  and   an  interesting  card  brought  over 
3,000  race-lovers  to  the  old  Bay  District  track  this  afternoon. 
The  magnet  of  magnets  was  the  race  for  the  Eacine  Stakes, 
bringing  out,  as  it  did,  the  best  lot  of  two-year-olds    that 
ever  worried    a    starter    in   this  land  of  gold  and     great 
race      horses.     However,    the      outcome    was     in     some 
respects    disappointing,    but     in     one     agreeable,    in    that 
the   winner  was    owned    by    a    young    horseman    not    en- 
dowed largely  with   the  goods  of  this  world.     The  winner's 
share  in  the  stake  amounted  to  $1,540,  which  is  a  neat  little 
sum  in  itself,  and  this,  added  to  the  winning  made  at  odds  of 
15  to  1,  makesyoungHoagableto  loll  on  the  sunny  side  of 
Dead  Easy  street  for  a  few  months,  at  least,  if  he  wants  to 
Bellicoso,    the  real  favorite  in   the  race,  was  interfered  with 
several  times,  and  finally  bolted,  losing  whatever  chance  he 
had  of  winning.     Piquanle  ran  a  good  race  from  last  position 
at  the  send-ofl",  and  though  Model  won  easily,  if  Bellicoso  had 
run  as  Bellicoso  is  certainly  able  to  do  and  Piquante  got  off  on 
even  terms  with  Model  we  would  have  seen  a  cracking  good 
horse  race.     As  it  turned  out  Model's  victory  was  one  that 
did  not  thrill  one  through  and  through.     Only  two  favorites 
were  successful  during  the  day,  and  they  won  the  first  two 
races.    The  remaining  threeevents  were  taken  by  two  very 
long  shots  and  a  strong  second  choice.    The  bookmakers  had 
a  very  good  day  of  it,  winning  on  the  first  race  prettv  well, 
losing  on  the  second,  winning  heavily  on  the  stake  race  won 
by  Model  (where  Bellicoso  was  played  very  heavily),  winning 
on  Gilead's  race  on  account  of  the  heavy  play  on  Hotspur  and 
De  Bracey,  and  winning  a  barrel  on  the  last  event,  captured 
by  St.  Croix  at  odds  of  8  and  10  tol.     In  this  race  Lonnie  B. 
was  backed  for  thousands.     Chevalier  rode  two  winners  to- 
day (his  namesake  and  Gilead),  while  Bozeman,  King  and 
Weaver  were  the  other  successful  pilots. 

Nelson,  the  one-eyed  son  of  Duke  of  Norfolk  and  the  great 
race  mare,  Neilson,  got  away  last  in  the  first  event,  rah 
through  his  field  in  the  first  sixty  yards,  was  about  seven 
lengths  to  the  good  at  the  head  of  the  stretch  and  won  almost 
in  a  walk  by  three  lengths  from  Pricelle,  who  ran  up  from 
sixth  place,  and  would  have  beaten  Nelson  in  all  likelihood 
had  the  race  been  a  sixteenth  of  a  mile  further.  Banjo  fin- 
ished third.      Nervoso  ran  prominently  to  the   homestretch.

in  tbe  last  few  strides  bv  half  a  length.  Blue  and  \\  hue  got

Morven  ran  away  about  half  a  mile,  and  bucked  at  the  post 
like  a  cowboy's  pony.  Woodbury  Jr.  led  to  the  homestretch, 
but  "died  awav  to  nothing."  _ 

Model  led  most  of  the  way  in  the  Racine  Stakes,  though 
Pat  Murphy  did  show  in  front  at  the  half-pole.  Piquante  sol 
my  last,  and  was  unable  to  get  through  the  bunch  until  the 
homestretch  was  reached,  when  she  made  up  a  lot  of  ground. 
Bellicoso  finished  last  of  all.  He  got  bumped  several  limes, 
and  bolted  lo  ihe  outside  near  the  homestretch. 

Gilead  won  the  mile  and  a  sixteenth  handicap  very  «asl1/'

way,  and  was  finally  beaten  a  neck  byold  Hotspur  Koyal

let-up  might  do  him  gool.  . 

St  Croix  won  the  lest  race  like  the  St.  Croix  of  a  year 
ago.  He  had  goggles  on  and  his  speed  with  him  to  day.  and 
when  Weaver  cut  Mm  loose  at  the  end  he  made  Ivorth  and 
Boston  Boy  look  very  yellow.  Lonnie  B.,  the  favorite,  was 
never  in  the  hunt.

H^raid,  Royal  Flush,  Gilead  was  the  order  to  a  good  start. 
Pescador  went  to  the  front  going  around  the  initial  turn,  and

ald second,  half  a  length   from  Royal  Flush,  Gilead  at  the

[Winner  trained  by  H.  Hoag.] 

Piquante,  Pat  Murphy  and  Capt.  Skedance,  of  the  Sprock- 
ets' stable,  were  coupled  in  the  betting  at  4  to  5  at  the  open- 
ing, 8  to  5  at  the  close.  A  great  amount  of  money  poured  in 
on  Bellicoso,  so  much  so  that,  opening  at  21  to  1.  he  was  at 
only  8  to  5  at  the  close  on  few  boards.  Rey  Alfouso  was  at 
3}  to  I,  Kai  Moi  8,  Model  and  Tiger  15  to  1  each.  Piquante 
acted  badly  at  the  post,  backing  away  as  if  a  trifle  track-sour 
and  delaying  the  start  about  fifteen  minutes  by  refusing  10  go 
up  and  break  with  the  others.  Finally  the  flag  swished,  and 
the  octette  of  two-year  old  stake  horses  were  on  thei  r  journey. 
Model,  Pal  Murphy,  Bellicoso  was  the  order  of  the  first 
three.  Piquaote  was  last  away,  and  a  poor  last  at  that.  Pat 
Murphv  showed  a  length  in  front  at  the  half-pole,  Model 
aecood,'  »ith  Key  Alfonso  at  her  saddle-skirls.  Bellicoso 
was  fourth,  one  and  one-half  lengths  away.  Model  forged  to 
the  fore  as  they  neared  the  final  turn,  and  shot  into  the  home- 
stretch half  a  length  in  front  of  Murphy.  Four  lengths  be- 
hind Murphy  came  Tiger,  then  Bellicoso  and  the  rest,  pretty 
well  bunched.  Bellicoso  swerved  to  the  outside  nearing  the 
final  turn,  losing  a  lot  of  ground,  and  failed  to  show  the  great 
■peed  he  is  known  to  he  possessed  of.  A  sixteenth  from  the 
finish  Model  was  three  lengths  in  front  of  Pat  Murphy,  and 
going  e.vilv.  A  moment  later  Piquante  got  through  the 
hunch,  and  though  she  made  a  fine  run,  could  not  get  closer 
than  two  lengths  as  Model  shot  in  an  easy  winner.  A  length 
behind  Piquante  came  Tiger,  third,  and  he  too,  came  fast  at 
Ihe  very  end.    Time,  1:181 — "low  on  even  such  a  track.    The

a  small  margin  into  the  homestretch,  half-way  down  which 
Boston  Boy  forged  slightly  to  the  fore  and  looked  very  much 
like  a  winner.  North  came  again,  however,  and  it  looked  as 
if  he  would  win  forty  yards  from  the  wire.  Here  Weaver 
brought  the  spectacled  St.  Croix  up  with  a  great  rush,  and 
landed  him  a  clever  winner  by  nearly  a  length.  North  beat

TWESTY-FIBST  D AY'— TCZSD AT,  MAY*  1. 

May  Day,  with  blue  skies,  a  balmy  breeze,  a  very  good  card 
and  a  fast  track  brought  a  good-sized  crowd  to  the  old  course. 
And  the  spectators  saw  some  excellent  racing,  in  three  of  the 
events  the  finishes  being  close  enough  to  suit  the  sturdiest 
growler.  Two  favorites  won  in  a  row,  and  then  the 
remaining  three  were  taken  by  a  second  choice  and  two 
6-to-l  shots.  "Pedigree"  and  Jim  Brown  uncovered 
in  Charley  A.,  the  best  maiden  seen  in  several  moons  by  a 
San  Francisco  public.  His  fame  had  gone  before,  however, 
and  4  to  5  were  the  best  odds  to  be  obtained,  notwithstanding 
he  had  never  appeared  in  a  race.  Not  once  on  the  journey 
was  the  black  son  of  John  A.  and  Early  Rose  extended,  yet 
be  won  by  thre)  lengths  wiih  great  ease.  Sullivan,  Madi- 
son, Weaver,  Coombs  and  Burns  rode  the  winners  to-day. 

Charles  A.,  the  favorite,  got  away  second  in  the  opening 
event,  was  first  in  the  first  sixteenth,  and  though  merely  gal- 
loping, the  further  he  wenl  the  longer  became  the  daylight 
space  between  himself  and  pursuers.  King  Sam  stuck  gamely 
to  his  work,  and  finished  second,  three  lengths  behind  Charles 
A.  and  a  head  in  front  of  Outright. 

The  1  larebin— Miss  Clay  youngster  is  a  great  filly.  For 
over  three  quarters  of  an  hour  she  kept  breaking  away  and 
running  from  an  cighlh  of  a  mile  to  three-sixteenths,  in  all 
very  close  on  to  two  miles,  and  fretting  terribly.  Finally 
she  got  away  third  and  was  piloted  into  the  homestretch  by 
Victory.  She  went  away  from  Victory  half  way  down  the 
homestretch,  but  the  latter  (to  whom  she  was  conceding  fiye 
pounds)  came  again,  near  the  end,  and  had  not  the  Darebin 
filly  been  dead  game  she  could  never  have  won.  As  it  was, 
she  got  home  a  short  head  in  front. 

Si.  Croix  wailed  on  Border  Lassie  until  the  homestretch 
was  reached,  and  heading  her  in  the  last  seventy-five  yards, 
three  parts  of  a  length  from  Rube  Burrows,  who  was 
Ihe  homestretch  and  interfered  with  a  little.    Chev- 
alier  finished  third,  close  up,  and  Border  Lassie  was  "right 
thar"too. 

Jennie  Dcane  led  Gladiator  and  the  rest  of  a  large  band  up 
to  the  last  jump,  when  Gladiator  got  up  and  won  by  a  head 
in  a  drive,  then  heads  behind,  in  the  order  named,  came  Jen-

was  a  vexatious  wait  of  about  fifty  minutes,  caused  by  the  re- 
fusal of  a  number  of  the  youngsters  to  break  and  the  anxiety 
of  Miss  Clay  to  get  away.  The  latter  must  have  run  nearly 
two  miles  in  the  many  breakaways.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a

San  Jose  Roadster's  Matinee. 

The  dash  of  rain  io  the  forenoon  and  the  lowering  clouds 
which  all  day  threatened  to  repeat  the  shower  kept  many 
away  from  the  matinee  of  the  Ladies'  and  Gentlemen's 
Driving  and  Riding  Club  yesterday  afternoon.  Nevertheless 
there  was  a  very  good  attendance  and  there  was  at  no  time 
any  lack  of  enthusiasm.  The  inclemency  of  tbe  weatber  ef- 
fected principally  the  grandstand  portion  of  the  audience, 
there  being  less  ladies  present  than  had  been  expected. 

The  events  were  all  good— quite  up  to  the  standard  set  by 
the  club's  first  matinee — and  the  time  made  by  the  roadsters 
was  remarkably  good. 

The  first  contest  was  for  trotters,  2:40  class.  In  the  first 
heat  the  starters  were  :  G.  Y.  Bollinger's  b  h  G  Y  B  ;  Af .  C 
Schalm's  b  m  Maud  ;  J.  Howard's  b  h  Big  Xed  ;  J.  W.  Kea's 
br  m  Tiptinous,  and  C  E.  Lynde's  s  g  Peanut.  After  a  little 
scoring  the  horses  got  a  good  send  -off  and  Tiptinous  and  Maud 
immediately  started  for  the  front,  with  G  Y  B  aud  Peanut 
keeping  their  trail  very  warm.  The  two  leaders  made  a 
beautiful  race  around  the  circuit,  but  Rea's  little  brown  mare 
didn't  make  a  skip  and  came  under  the  wire  a  hard-pushed 
winner,  with  Maud  second,  G  Y  B  third,  Peanut  fourth  and 
Big  Xed  a  rather  poor  fifth.     Time,  2:40|. 

In  the  second  heat  of  this  race  there  was  another  contest- 
ant. Through  a  misunderstanding  A.  E.  Morrison  had  failed 
to  get  his  ch  s  Inca  Jr.  up  io  time  for  the  first  heat.  By 
mutual  consent  he  was  allowed  to  start  in  the  second  hsat, 
after  speeding  his  horse  a  mile. 

A  good  deal  of  scoring  was  done  before  the  horses  got  off 
for  the  second  heat,  and  they  were  finally  let  go  with  Maud 
leading  and  Inca  Jr.  bringing  up  the  rear.  Maud  began  to 
pull  out  of  the  bunch  at  the  first  turn.  G  Y  B  started  after 
her,  with  Tiptinous  at  his  sulky  wheels.  Peanut  got  on  the 
right  side  of  the  gap  at  the  quarter.  Inca  Jr.,  who  had  lost 
considerable  at  the  start,  was  pawing  the  turf  in  a  determined 
fashion,  and  at  the  half  it  was  anybody's  race.  Near  the 
three-quarters' stake  Tiptinous  broke  badly  and  fell  back  in 
company  with  Big  Ned.  As  they  turned  into  the  stretch 
Maud  managed  to  put  a  length  of  daylight  between  her  and 
G  Y  B,  who  was  being  pressed  badly  by  Peanut  and  Inea  Jr. 
The  race  down  the  stretch  was  a  hard  one,  but  the  relative 
positions  of  the  trotters  did  not  change,  Maud  winning  from 
G  Y  B  by  a  length,  Peanut  third  and  Inca  Jr.  fourth.  Tip 
tinous  and  Big  Xed  had  been  makiDg  a  warm  race  about  a 
hundred  yards  behind  the  bunch,  and  Rea  succeeded  in 
sending  his  little  mare  in  about  a  length  to  the  o-ood.  Time 
2:40i. 

The  third  heat  resulted  materially  the  same  as  the  second. 
Maud  led  from  the  start  and  was  never  headed.  Tiptinous, 
G-.  Y.  B.  and  Peanut  made  it  interesting  for  her  all  the  way 
round,  and  she  had  to  race  for  it  down  the  stretch.  Peanut 
fell  behind  at  the  last  turn,  but  the  others  kept  up  the  excite- 
ment until  the  gate  was  reached.  Then  Tiptinous  broke  and 
ruined  her  chances,  a  moment  after  Inca  Jr.  went  up,  and  G. 
Y.  B.  was  second,  Inc*  Jr.  third,  Tiptinous  fourth,  Peanut 
fifth  and  Big  Ned  sixth.  Maud  won  first  prize,  Tiptinous 
second  and  G.  Y.  B.  -third. 

The  next  contest  wasja  pacing  race  for  three-minute  horses. 
The  entries  were  Paul  P.  Austin's  br  h  Dick,  John  Gallego, 
Jr.'s  br  m  Chispa,  S.  E.  Portal's  gr  g  Jib  and  W.  C.  Cressy's 
ch  g  Bucephalus.  At  the  send-off  Dick  and  Chispa  were  a 
little  behind.  Bucephalus  forged  ahead  and  kept  there  to  the 
finish,  never  having  to  pace  very  hard.  Chispa  started  out 
at  a  clipping  pace,  but  seemed  to  give  out  in  the  last  quarter, 
and  when  near  |the  finish  she  staggered  as  though  about  to 
fall,  allowing  Dick  and  Jib  who  were  having  a  running  race 
down  the  stretch,  to  pass  her.  Jib  finished  second  with  Dick 
at  her  wheels,  and  Chispa  a  bad  fourth.     Time,  2:46*. 

After  the  first  heat  Mayor  Austin  concluded  that  as  a 
driver  he  was  not  an  unqualified  success.  He  accordingly  re- 
tired in  favor  of  Mr.  Rea.  In  the  second  heat  Dick  and  Chispa 
started  in  for  blood,  and  neither  was  able  to  gain  perceptibly 
for  the  first  quarter.  Cressy  kept  Bucephelus  up  to  within  a 
length  of  the  leaders  and  Jib  trailed.  Xear  the  third  quar- 
ter Bucephalus  broke  and  fell  to  the  rear.  Chispa  and  Dick 
trotted  like  a  team  to  the  stretch,  when  the  mare  began  to 
quit.  Bucephalus,  after  gaining  his  feet,  had  put  in  some 
good  licks  and  passed  Jib,  and  as  Chispa  began  to  weaken 
gained  second  place.  Dick  won  without  an  effort,  Bucepha- 
lus second,  Chispa  third  and  Jib  last.     Time,  2:39. 

The  third  and  last  heat  was  an  exact  repetition  of  the  sec- 
ond, Dick  winning  the  heat  and  first  prize,  Bucephalus  sec- 
ond abd  second  prize,  Chispa  third  and  third  prize,  Jib  last. 
Time  of  heat,  2:40. 

The  next  race,  4:00  trotters,  was  productive  of  considerable 
amusement.  The  starters  were  C.  M.  Shortridge's  b  m  Carrie 
Benton,  W.  W.  Moir's  b  g  Don  Pancho.  F.  A.  Coe's  sr  h 
Baby  and  W.  D.  Van  Siclen's  b  m  Alice.  A.  Hables  had 
intended  to  start  his  s  g  Selim,  but  the  other  drivers  grew 
eager  for  tbe  fray  and  scored  up  while  he  was  on  the  other 
side  of  the  track  and  the  judges  let  them  go.  The  send-off 
resembled  a  procession  more  than  a  racing  start,  but  every 
one  seemed  satisfied,  including  Hables.  Carrie  Benton  took 
the  lead  at  the  turn  with  Baby  close  and  Don  Pancho  and 
Alice  trailing.  After  passing  the  first  quarter  pole  Short- 
ridge  began  to  urge  his  mare  along  out  of  harm's  way  and 
Don  Pancho  went  at  Baby.  Alice  broke  and  fell  hopelessly 
to  the  rear.  Don  Pancho  kept  after  Carrie  Benton  down  the 
stretch  and  the  two  were  near  enough  to  be  interesting  at  tbe 
finish,  Carrie  Benton  winning  in  2:57,  Don  Pancho  second, 
Baby  third  and  Alice  fourth. 

Hables  bad  his  horse  waiting  for  the  next  heat.  At  the 
start  off  he  fell  a  little  to  the  rear,  but  at  the  word  go  he  gave 
a  yell  and  cracked  his  whip  like  a  man  driving  a  plough 
team  and  his  somewhat  ungainly  sorrel  developed  quite  a 
move,making  it  rather  warm  for  Carrie  Benton, who  was  lead- 
ing. The  rather  weighty  road  cart  to  which  Selim  was  at- 
tached, however,  began  to  tell  on  him  and  he  fell  to  the  rear 
at  the  quarter.  Don  Pancho  raced  after  Carrie  Benton 
around  the  track  and  made  a  good  second.  Baby  finished 
third,  Selim  fourth  and  Alice,  who  had  broken  badlv,  fifth. 
Time,  3:01.  The  prizes  were  distributed  in  the  same  orderas 
the  result  of  the  heat. 

The  fourth  and  last  contest  of  tbe  day,  for  trotting  and  pac- 
ing, 2:45  class,  was  the  best  event  of  the  day,  although  a  cool 
wind  caused  manv  to  leave  before  its  completion.  Tbe  start- 
ers were  J.  W.  Graves'  s  m  Graves  Girl,  Richard  Webb's  b  s 
Hideaway,  I.  A.  Hatch's  b  m  Leila  H.  and  S.  W.  McCarley's 
s  h  Arbuday. 

The  horses  came  up  several  times  before  they  were  allowed 
to  go,  but  the  send-off  was  good.     Leila  H.  took  the  lead,  but 


between  the  quarter  and  half  gave  way  to  both  Arbuday  and 
Hideaway.  Arbuday  headed  the  procession  around  until  the 
stretch  was  reached,  when  they  paced  side  by  side.  Both  broke 
when  near  tbe  wire,  but  Arbuday  got  down  first  and  won  by 
a  length,  Hideaway  sreond,  Lelia  H.  third  and  Graves  Girl 
fourth.     Time,  2:48. 

For  the  second  heat  a  poor  send-off  was  secured,  Graves 
Girl  getting  the  best  of  it  and  Arbuday  faring  the  worst.  None 
of  the  horses  were  able  to  catch  Graves  Girl,  and  she  trotted 
in  a  winner  by  half  a  dozen  lengths,  Hideaway  second,  Leila 
H.  third  and  Arbuday  fourth.     Time,  2:43. 

The  start  in  the  next  heat  was  much  better.  Leila  H.  again 
took  the  lead,  but  resigned  it  to  Arbuday  and  Hideaway  be- 
fore the  half  was  reached.  It  was  either  of  these  two's  race 
until  well  down  the  stretch,  when  Arbuday  skipped.  Mc- 
Carley  brought  him  down  in  good  shape,  but  the  break  had 
been  fatal  and  Hideaway  went  by  the  stand,  winning  in  2:46.^, 
Arbuday  second,  Leila  H.  third  and  Graves  Girl  fourth. 

Three  of  the  contestants  had  now  won  a  heat  each,  and  un- 
less the  next  should  be  won  by  Leila  H.  it  would  be  decisive. 
The  horses  got  away  well  bunched,  and  Arbuday  and  Hide- 
away went  to  the  front,  with  Hideaway  a  little  ahead.  Near 
the  half  Arbuday  closed  up  the  gap  and  it  was  impossible  to 
tell  who  was  leading  to  the  stretch.  Down  the  stretch  Mc- 
Carley  geemed  to  be  getting  a  little  the  best  work  out  of  the 
horse,  and  when  near  the  wire  Hideaway  broke.  Hideaway, 
who  had  come  down  in  the  nick  of  time,  dashed  under  the 
wire,  and  the  question  of  winner  was  very  doubtful.  How- 
ever, the  judges  declared  Arbuday  had  won  the  heat  and 
race;  Hideaway  second,  Graves  Girl  third  (in  the  race,  fourth 
in  thp  last  heat)  and  Leila  H.  fourth  in  the  race  and  third  in 
the  last  heat.    Time,  2:41. 

When  the  |single-footers'  contest  was  called,  Steve  Wade, 
with  his  beautiful  bay  horse,  Stoneman,  was  the  only  con- 
testant to  appear.  Mr.  Wade  went  a  trial  mile  in  the  re- 
markably good  time  for  that  gait  of  3:48. 

Owing  to  the  inclemency  of  the  weather  the  matinee  was 
probably  not  a  financial  success,  but  from  every  other  stand- 
point it  was  all  that  could  be  desired,  and  the  members  and 
spectators  were  enthusiastic  in  their  praise  of  the  excellence 
of  the  events. — San  Jose  Mercury. 

Not  Likely  to  Materialize. 


The  proposed  new  race-track  near  Newport,  Ky.,  is  Dot 
likely  to  materialize  if  the  following  from  the  Enquirer  is 
correct : 

The  Rosedale  Jockey  Club,  the  projectors  of  the  new  local 
race  track  that  promised  to  pose  to  Cincinnati  as  Garfield 
Park  to  Chicago  and  Guttenburg  to  Jersey  City,  will  likely 
never  have  a  race  started  under  its  management.  It  seems 
that  the  scheme  did  not  gain  the  support  ft  needed  from  the 
very  start,  and  now,  to  make  the  failure  of  the  plan  complete, 
it  is  discovered  that  tbe  charter  uoder  which  the  organization 
expected  to  operate  is  worthless.  The  point  selected  for  the 
track  of  the  club  was  back  of  Newport,  and  the  transaction 
by  which  it  was  secured  to  the  club  is  part  of  the  story  of  the 
useless  charter.  J.  W.  Haley,  of  this  city,  and  H.  H.  Hardy, 
of  Covington,  were  the  agents  who  worked  up  the  sale  of  tbe 
land,  amounting  to  a  large  deal  of  some  150  acres,  for  which 
the  agents  were  to  be  benefitted  by  about  $3,000.  Some  hesi- 
tancy on  the  part  of  the  backers  of  the  club  to  give  it  their 
entire  support,  and  the  announcement  that  the  new  track  was 
to  run  all  the  year  round  and  support  a  foreign  book,  threw  a 
damper  upon  the  project,  and  was  the  cause  of  a  desertion  on 
the  part  of  some  of  the  real  backers.  In  order  to  bring  the 
matter  to  a  head  and  make  the  deal  permanent,  lawyers  were 
engaged  to  look  into  the  matter  and  secure  for  the  real  estate 
men  their  part  of  the  game.  It  was  as  a  result  of  this  inves- 
tigation that  it  was  discovered  that  the  charter  was  ineffectual 
under  the  new  Constitution  of  Kentucky  for  the  club  as  it 
would  be  run. 

This  will,  it  is  thought,  prove  a  death-blow  to  the  project 
of  an  all-the-year-round  track  at  Cincinnati. 

Connected  with  the  scheme  were  tbe  names  of  many  promi- 
nent men  of  Covington  and  of  this  city,  but  in  the  face  of 
wholesale  denials  on  the  part  of  these  gentlemen  that  they 
had  anything  to  do  with  the  affair,  it  is  difficult  to  fix  the 
parentage  of  the  whole  thing  upon  anyone.  Expression  is 
freely  made,  however,  that  it  is  a  happy  termination  of  pio- 
jected  Cincinnati's  Garfield  Park.  The  foreign  book  feature 
was  discountenanced  from  the  beginning  by  many,  and  the 
escape  from  the  possible  enacting  of  such  scenes  as  were  wit- 
nessed at  the  end  of  Garfield  Park  is  declared  to  be  fortunate. 

The  Totalisator. 


A  writer  in  a  recent  number  of  the  Australasian,  advocates 
apian  for  increasing  race-track  receipts  that  may  afford  some- 
thing in  the  way  of  suggestion  to  our  turf  authorities  here, 
inasmuch  as  this  is  one  of  the  knotty  problems  the  Jockey 
Club  will  attempt  to  solve.  His  idea  in  brief  is  that  the  lead- 
ing Jockey  Clubs  might  establish  "blind"  totalisators  on 
some  of  the  great  turf  events  oftheyearin  which  theamounls 
invested  on  the  various  horses  engaged  would  not  be  made 
public  until  the  day  of  tbe  race.  In  this  way  he  contends 
that  owners  and  trainers  would  bet  much  more  heavily  than 
they  now  do.  Under  the  totalisator  or  mutuel  machine  sys- 
tem of  betting,  investments  are  immediately  recorded,  so  that 
the  public  know  from  a  market  point  of  view,  quite  as  much 
about  the  horses  as  do  the  traioers.  In  a  "blind"  totalisa- 
tor. such  as  suggested,  the  amounts  invested  on  each  horse 
would  not  be  announced. 

In  this  way  the  public  would  have  an  equal  chance  with 
the  owner,  save  that  they  would  have  to  use  their  own  judg- 
ment in  making  their  investments,  instead  of  (as  with  an  or- 
dinary totalisator)  following  the  lead  of  the  owners.  Ninely 
per  cent,  of  the  pool  would  go  to  the  backers  of  the  placed 
horses,  viz.,  60  per  cent,  to  the  first,  20  per  cent,  to  the  sec- 
ond and  10  percent,  to  the  third,  while  9  per  cent,  would  be 
devoted  to  the  club  for  tbe  benefit  of  racing,  and  the  remain- 
ing 1  per  cent,  distributed  among  charities.  Owners  would 
benefit  by  beingable  to  get  their  money  on  privately,  instead 
of  having  to  bear  with  the  handicap  of  making  their  invest- 
ments publicly,  and  ihus  put  up  with  the  disadvantage  of  get- 
ting no  better  price  than  private  wagerers  who  contribute 
nothing  towards  the  heavy  expenses  of  a  large  trainiog  es- 
tablishment. 

The  scheme  as  outlined  applies  to  future  event  betting, 
but  it  might  be  modified  in  some  way  to  suit  the  conditions 
here  and  so  do  away  with  some  of  the  objections  that  are  now 
made  to  mutuel  machines,  one  of  the  most  important  of  which 
is  this  very  fact  that  owners  are  placed  at  a  disadvantage  in 
being  compelled  to  admit  the  public  into  their  confidence. —

Sale  of  Guenoc  Stock  Farm  Yearlings. 
The  sale  of  yearling  thoroughbreds  by  St.  Saviour  and 
imp.  Greenback  Monday  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  salesyard  was 
fairly  well  attended,  but  the  bidding  was  generally  slow.  The 
youngsters  were  rather  small  and  as  this  was  rather  early  to 
sell  yearling  thoroughbreds,  the  prices  realized  can  be  con- 
sidered quite  fair.  Dr.  C.  E.  Farnum,  of  this  city,  was  the 
heaviest  buyer,  and  doubtless  he  secured  some  prizes  at  very 
small  figures,  The  liveliest  bidding  was  elicited  on  the 
brown  filly  by  St.  Saviour— imp.  Negress  and  the  chestnut 
filly  by  St.  Saviour— Mineral,  by  Spendthrift.  The  latter 
was  considered  by  most  persons  the  prize  of  the  sale.  How- 
ever, the  colt  by  St.  Saviour  from  imp.  Etmina  was  certainly 
a  grand  one.    Following  were  the  purchasers  and  priees  paid*

Grey   Leg's    City   and    Suburban. 

London,  April  IS — The  City  and  Suburban  Handicap,  of 
20-sovereigns  each,  with  1,000  sovereigns  added,  for  three- 
year-olds  and  upward,  was  run  at  Epsom  to-day,  and  was  won 
by  the  Duke  of  Westminsters  Grey  Leg  (three  years),  by 
Pepper  and  Salt  Quetta.  Mr.  D.  Hoi  lis'  Xury  (three  years) 
was  second  and  Baron  de  Kothschild's  Le  Xicham  (four 
years)  third. 

The  horses  got  a  good  start,  although  Marnovia  broke 
twice  before  the  flag  was  dropped,  and  Braemer,  after  the  flag 
fell,  ran  into  the  crowd,  and  was  left  at  the  post.  Xury  was 
the  quickest  away,  and  was  followed  in  tbe  order  named  by 
Le  Hicham,  Molly  Mergao,  Lady  Hermit,  C:bin  Boy,  Victor 
Wild,  the  othersstraggling  along,  with  Callistrate  last.  When 
the  200  yards  was  reached,  Marnovia,  who  had  crept  up, 
went  to  the  front  and  led  to  the  top  of  the  hill.  Lady  Hermit' 
Cabin  Boy,  Molly  Morgan,  Xury,  Victor  Wild,  Le'  Xicham 
and  Grey  Leg  trailing  aloog.  Entering  tbe  straight  stretch, 
Lady  Hermit  took  up  the  running,  with  Xury  nest  and 
Cabin  Boy  and  Molly  Morgan  just  clear  of  her.  Callistrate 
and  Le  Xicham  were  close  followers,  and  Certificate  was 
last,  At  the  crossing  road  Xury  led,  followed  by  Mollie 
Morgan.  Le  Xicham  and  Callistrate.  Grey  Leg  was  steadily 
improving  his  positions.    • 

When  a  quarter  of  a  mile  from  home,  Callistrate  was 
hopelessly  beaten,  and  Grey  Leg  drew  into  second  place.  At 
the  distance  Grey  Leg's  jockey  availed  himself  of  the  open- 
ing on  the  rails  afforded  by  the  rider  of  Xury.  He  quickly 
overhauled  and  passed  Xury,  winning  by  two  and  a  half 
lengths.  The_  time  was  2:13  1-5,  and  the  distance  about  a 
mile  and  a  quarter. 

The  betting  was  9  to  1  against  Grey  Leg,  10  to  1  against 
Xury,  5  to  1  against  Le  Xicham,  3  to  1  against  Callistrate. 
6  to  1  against  Molly  Morgan,  i2  to  1  agaiost  Victor  Wild, 
20  to  1  against  Cabin  Boy  and  Lady  Hermit,  and  40  to  1 
against  Marnovia,  Certificate  and  Braemer. 

Monmouth  Park's  Decadence. 


Xew  York,  April  30. — Monmouth  Park  has  fallen  lDto 
hard  lines.  The  Sheriff  of  Monmouth  Park  threatens  to  sell 
the  racing  association  property  for  non-paymeDt  of  last  year's 
taxes,  amounting  to  $3,S00,  and  the  chance  of  giving  a  race 
meeting  over  its  magnificent 'stretches  before  the  reform 
element  is  side-tracked  in  Xew  Jersey  is  not  one  in  a  thous- 
and. Beginning  to-day  all  the  salaries  paid  to  officials  from 
manager  down  will  cease,  and  tbe  only  employees  retaioed 
will  be  a  few  private  watchmen.  The  discontinuing  of  their 
services  would  probably  invalidate  the  insurance  on  the  costly 
improvements  at  the  new  track  and  the  buildings  at  the  old. 
The  New  York  offices  at  Madison  avenue  and  Tweuty-seventh 
street  will  also  shortly  be  sdandoned. 

Mortgaged  for  only  $400,000,  the  association  would  have 
weathered  the  hard  limes  hnd  racing  been  permitted  in  Xew 
Jersey.  The  stakes  that  closed  during  1892-93  may  be  run 
off  at  Morris  Park  the  coming  season  or  declared  off'  at  the 
nptinn  nf  the  officials.  The  first  morigage  bonds  amount  to 
$300,000  and  the  second  to  $100,000.  It  is  understood  tbat

Is   Your    Mare    Barren  ? 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  ber  with  foal  is  to  use  an 
impregnator.  It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  im- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  effect- 
ive when  everything  else  has  failed.  Several  sets  for  sale  al

[May  5, 1894 


Stout  Blood  Has  the  Most  Lasting  Influence. 

Nearly  every  horseman  who  visited  the  Blue  Grass  regions 
of  Kentucky  when  Mambrino  Patchen  was  in  his  prime  was 
thoroughly  convinced  that  in  him  he  saw  a  horse  of  remarka- 
ble beauty,  grand  style,  faultless  propoitions  and  the  most 
perfectly  trained  for  a  stallion  in  service  of  aDy  prominent 
hone  then  in  Kentucky  or  elsewhere.  And  after  having  had 
a  good  look  at  this  grand  horse,  and  then  having  seen  oue 
after  another  of  the  youngsters  by  him,  all,  it  is  true,  in  the 
pink  of  condition,  and  perhaps  trained  and  handled  with 
greaterskill  than  those  on  any  other  stock  farm  of  that  day, 
an  impression  was  carried  away  aud  generally  retained,  even 
by  those  who  were  strongly  prejudiced  against  such  high 
breeding,  thaf  here  was  a  grand  burse  and  a  very  impressive 
sire. 

As  an  individual  the  writer  has  never  heard  a  single  just 
criticism  on  .Mambrino  Patchen,  and  there  were  many  who 
visited  Dr.  Heir's  farm  who  were  more  intensely  prejudiced 
against  thoroughbred  blood  in  the  trotter  than  any  of  the 
most  bigoted  breeders  or  writers  of  the  present  day,  who 
would  have  criticised  the  horse,  and  particularly  his  behavior 
and  that  of  his  get,  had  there  been  the  slightest  opportunity 
to  do  so.  His  breeding  brought  out  many  a  column  of  criti- 
cism and  prophecy  that  he  could  not  Dossibly  prove  a  success 
as  a  trotting  sire,  while  as  the  only  criticism  that  could  be 
made  of  the  horse  was  on  the  ground  of  having  no  record, 
many  were  ready  to  assert  that  he  evidently  did  not  possess 
speed,  and  that  although  his  colts  uniformly  showed  his  own 
high  quality,  and  all  evidently  possessed  some  speed,  that 
none  of  them  were  sensationally-fast  trotters. 

Now,  while  this  was  to  quite  an  extent  occasioned  by 
prejudice  against  his  breeding,  there  was,  after  all,  considera- 
ble truth  in  it.  He  is  registered  as  by  Mambrino  Chief,  a 
horse  whose  sire,  Mambrino  Paymaster,  was  a  highly-bred 
son  of  the  thoroughbred  Mambrino,  and  his  dam  was  the  fa- 
mous RoJes  Mare  (dam  of  Lady  Thorn,  Kentucky  Clay,  etc.), 
bv  the  thoroughbred  Gano,  son  of  American  Eclipse  ;  second 
dam  by  Sir  William  II,  a  son  of  the  thoroughbred  Sir 
William,  and  Dr.  Herr  always  claimed  additional  thorough- 
bred through  the  dam  of  Sir  William  II,  and  through 
the  second  and  third  dams  of  the  Rhodes  Mares.  But  taking 
the  pedigree  as  it  stands  it  was  certainly  very  high  breeding. 
There  has  never  been  the  least  question  about  the  correct- 
ness of  the  breeding  on  the  dam's  side,  which  is  where  the 
most  objectionable  amount  and  closecess  of  the  thoroughbred 
came  in,  and  as  the  only  possible  question  on  the  other  side 
made  it  certain  that  if  not  by  Mambrino  Chief,  he  must  have 
been  by  »  still  more  highly-bred  horse,  that  side  of  the  pedi- 
gree has  never  been  very  strenuously  attacked.  There  is 
very  little  doub!  that  he  was  in  truth  a  full  brother  to  the 
famous  Lady  Thorn,  that  was  unquestionably  the  fastest  trot- 
ter of  her  day.  The  resemblance  was  not  very  marked,  though 
the  thoroughbred  was  quite  conspicuous,  particularly  in  the 
gait  of  Lady  Thorn,  this  fast  trotter  was  essentially  a  Mam- 
brino Chief,  while  in  Mambrino  Patchen  the  thoroughbred 
blood  of  his  dam  predominated  to  such  an  extent  that  the 
less  potent  Mambrino  Chief  was  there  entirely  obliterated. 

There  was  nothing  improbable  in  such  a  claim,  as  the  off- 
spring of  animals  radically  diflerent  in  breeding  and  con- 
formation is  rarely  at  all  uniform.  It  was  very  frequently  as- 
serted by  those  who  could  not  but  admit  t.bat  Mambrino 
Patchen  had  all  the  beauty,  finish  and  high  quality  of  the 
thoroughbred,  that  it  was  because  his  inheritance  was  so 
purely  from  the  thoroughbred  part  of  his  pedigree,  and  that 
thin  prevented  him  being  a  famous  trotter  like  Lady  Thorn, 
consequently  on  this  account  he  could  not  reasonably  be  ex- 
pected to  prove  a  successful  trotting  sire, and  for  that  same 
reason  the  influence  of  his  blood  would  not  last  beyond  the 
first  generation. 

Admitting  that  in  Mambrino  Patchen  the  forces  were  not 
so  perfectly  balanced,  that  be  could  easily  have  been  made  as 
fast  and  reliable  a  trotter  as  his  famous  sister  or  Thomas 
Jellerson  and  several  other  noted  trotting  stallions  of  his  day 
that  had  little  or  no  close  thoroughbred  blood,  the  real  mis- 
take was  made  in  prophesying  that  bid  influence,  particularly 
from  the  fact  that  he  was  not  generally  mated  with  strongly 
trotling-bred  mares,  would  be  feeble  in  the  first  generation 
and  not  at  all  perceptible  in  the  more  remote  generations, 

There  was  [quite  as  much,  and  perhaps  even  more,  indi- 
viduality in  the  owner  of  Mambrino  Patchen  than  in  the 
famous  horse  himself.  Dr.  Herr  was  unquestionably  one  of 
the  best  all-round  horsemen  of  his  day.  As  a  judge  of  horses 
he  had  very  few  equals  and  he  was  also  a  (irst-class  trainer. 
If  there  was  any  criticism  that  could  be  made  upon  his  meth- 
ods it  would  be  that  he  kept  his  horses  perhaps  rather  too 
much  in  show  condition,  but  it  is  much  better  to  err  in  that 
direction  than  in  the  opposite.  There  was  probably  no  one 
then  in  Kentucky  who  was  more  familiar  with  the  pedigrees 
of  that  day,  but  when  it  came  to  breeding,  the  Doctor  cared 
very  liltleah'iiit  those  trotting  crosses  which  many  others  con- 
tended were  the  only  valuable  portions  of  the  pedigrees,  and 
looked  very  carefully  at  the  individual,  preferring  that  class 
which  were  of  a  high  quality  then  rarely  seen  except  in  those 
most  highly  bred.  As  he  knew  nearly  every  mare  in  all  that 
section,  and  wu  so  generally  popular  with  their  owners,  he 
was  able  to  get  the  class  he  wanted  sent  to  his  horse,  particu- 
larly an  those  possessing  so  much  thoroughbred  were  not  what 
-it.-  linking  far. 
It  i«  the  writer's  opinion  that  had  the  owner  of  Mambrino 
Patchen  taken  as  much  pains  to  get  the  most  purely  trotting' 
bred  mares  of  that  day  DO  would  have  had  a  large  number  of 
the  lirst  generation  in  the  2:30  lis(,and  probably  some  with 
faster  records  than  bis  fastest  now  bare,  bat  that  beyond  the 
lir-t  generation  results  would  not  have  been  anywhere  near 
as  good  as  they  are.  It  is  true  that  only  a  very  few  of  his 
contemporaries  got  more  than  twenty-live  trotters  with  rec- 
ords ..f  2&0,  still  there  is  no  doubt  that  if  2:30  records  for 
the  first  generation  had  been  Dr.  Herr's  prominent  aim,  he 
might  hive  so  selected  the  mares  and  trained  the  produce  as 
to  have  had  two  or  three  limes  as  many,  but  even  then  in  the 
lo.jg  run  the  results  would  not  have  been  anywhere  near  as 
■:  icid, 
Today,  breeders  very  generally  acknowledge  that  there  is 
.  ery  great  advantage  in  sound  and  superior  individuals,  far 
nore,  in  fact,  than  in  fashionable  pedigrees  where  the  in- 
vidii  ds  are  tinsounJ  ind  inferior.  As  a  sire  of  dam  Mam* 
b.ino  Patchen  has  now  reached  the  highest  rank, surpassing 
in  number  all  others  that  have  ever  lived, and  his  influence 
-  very  clearly  seen  in  Inequality  of  nearly  ah  his  descendants. 
i  in  him  the  thoroughbred  was  not  perfectly  balanced,  and 
thai  wi     undoubtedly  true  in  Alma  Mater  and  several  others 


would  claim  any  such  criticism  could  justly  be  made  of  their 
ofiepring,  and  there  is  no  doubt  that  the  influeuce  of  Mam- 
brino Patchen  is  at  least  a  very  potent  factor  in  the  success  of 
such  noted  sires  as  Guy  Wilkes,  Alcyone,  Baron  Wilkes, 
Simmons  and  numerous  others  that  may  be  named,  as  well  as 
in  such  fast  trotters  as  Allerton,  Walter  E.  and  two  Nightin- 
gales, tracing  to  him  through  prominent  sons,  while  there  is 
a  double  cross  in  such  noted  trotters  as  Harrietta,  Axtell  and 
Constantine,  and  this  unquestionably  had  an  important  in- 
fluence on  their  extreme  speed. 

Had  there  been  more  horses  like  Mambrino  Patchen  and 
more  breeders  and  stallion  owners  like  Dr.  Herr,  extremely 
careful  in  regard  to  the  quality  and  soundness  of  the  indi- 
viduals, progress  would  have  been  quite  as  rapid  and  the  trot- 
ting stock  of  to-day  generally  more  valuable  than  it  actually 
is.  To  any  one  who  will  look  at  the  subject  carefully  and 
without  prejudice,  it  must  be  very  evident  that  the  most 
highly-bred  elements  are  the  ones  which  breed  on  most  uni- 
formly and  best,  even  though  not  the  equal  of  some  more 
purely  trotting-bred  in  point  of  speed. 

One  of  the  fastest  and  most  famous  trotters  of  the  purely- 
bred  trotting  stallions  that  was  contemporary  with  Mambrino 
Paichen  was  Thomas  Jefferson,  foaled  about  the  same  time, 
and  lived  to  be  some  five  years  older.  He,  too,  was  a  good 
individual,  a  fast  and  game  trotter,  and  he  has  proven  far  from 
a  failure  as  a  sire.  His  record  of  2:23  was  certainly  very  fast 
for  a  trotting  stallion  of  that  day,  but  it  is  well  known  that  he 
trotted  several  seconds  faster  in  some  notable  hea's  that  he 
did  not  win.  His  sire,  Toronto  Chief,  had  a  trotting  record 
of  2:31,  was  by  a  prominent  trotting  stallion  of  that  day, 
while  his  dam,  Gypsy  Queen,  was  a  famous  trotter  by  a  son 
of  Vermont  Black  Hawk. 

Probably  there  were  no  prominent  writers  of  that  day  who 
would  not  have  said  that  Thomas  Jefferson  was  likely  to 
prove  a  greater  trotting  sire  and  progenitor  than  Mambrino 
Patchen,  particularly  as  very  few,  if  any,  of  his  services  were 
"wasted"  on  thoroughbred  mares.  The  difference,  however, 
is  at  the  present  time  scarcely  any  comparison  in  the  resu'ts, 
Thomas  Jefferson  surpassing  Mambrino  Patchen  only  in 
having  two  trotters  and  one  pacer  with  records  a  fraction  be- 
low in  2:20.  In  the  next  generation,  however,  there  are  all 
told  only  seven  trotters  and  two  pacers  in  the  one  case  against 
some  two  hundred  in  the  other,  and  while  evidently  the  influ- 
ence of  this  trotting-bred  trotter  is  destined  to  be  lost  sight  of 
in  a  few  generations  more,  that  of  the  other  will  be  conspicu- 
ous as  long  as  the  trotting  horse  is  bred.  Those  who  build 
most  solidly  often  lay  a  foundation  that  proves  of  great  value 
to  those  that  come  after  them.  Had  New  England  and  other 
portions  of  the  North  possessed  as  much  good  stout  thorough- 
bred as  Kentucky  of  Orange  County  and  vicinity  in  the  days 
of  Hambletonian,  their  trotting  strains  would,  in  all  proba- 
bility, have  bred  on  better. — "  Vision  ''  in  American  Horse

Thoroughbred  and  Trotting  Sales. 

Every  reader  who  has  given  any  thought  to  the  subject 
must  have  observed  the  marked  difference  in  the  business 
methods  of  thoroughbred  and  trotting  breeders.  How  long 
would  a  breeder  of  race  horses  continue  to  hold  annual  sales 
if  he  kept  his  youngsters  until  old  enough  to  *'  sample,"  and 
then  sent  those  likely  to  prove  winners  to  his  trainer  and  the 
balance  to  the  sale  rings?  Yet  this  is  what  the  great  majority 
of  trotting  breeders  do,  and  when  the  sale-ring  prices  are 
dull,  we  say  the  business  is  overdone  and  ruined. 

i  Not  alone  do  breeders  cull  their  stock  before  selling,  but 
some  practices  even  more  to  be  condemned  have  been  preva- 
lent. What  can  be  3aid  of  any  man  that  will  advertise  stock 
to  be  sold  in  open  market  to  the  highest  bidder,  and  send  in 
a  "capper"  to  bid  against  honest  bidders  Uke  a  shark  horse 
sale  or  a  mock  auction  shop?  These  are  unpleasant  truths, 
but  we  know  they  are  only  truths,  and  no  stronger  evidence 
of  the  strength  of  the  trottiog-breeding  industry  can  be  ad- 
duced than  the  fact  that  it  has  stood  up  and  survived  under 
such  a  load  of  demoralizing  influences. 

There  are  many  wrongs  that  m:ght  be  righted  before  the 
business  of  breeding  trotters  can  reach  the  measure  of  success 
to  which  it  is  entitled.  Public  opinion  can  do  much  to  remedy 
the  evils.  If  a  breeder  that  practised  bybidding  on  his  stock 
were  held  up  to  public  condemnation  and  practically  ostra- 
cised by  the  public  and  reputable  men  in  the  breeding  ranks 
the  practice  would  soon  become  obsolete.  As  it  is,  many 
men  mane  little  if  any  secret  of  the  fact,  and  almost  any 
reader  can  name  a  dozen  breeders,  with  a  moment's  reflection, 
that  claim  to  be  gentlemen  and  yet  practice  the  dishonest 
methods  in  the  sale  ring. 

If  the  practice  exists  among  thoroughbred  breeders  it  is  not 
practiced  openly  and  without  shame,  as  it  has  been  the  case 
in  many  trotting  sale  rings,  or  the  facts  would  have  become 
public.  Again,  the  majority  of  the  thoroughbred  breeders 
sell  all  their  young  stock  as  yearlings,  giving  the  public  an 
equal  chance  to  select  or  get  by  chance  the  best.  This  seems 
the  most  wise  course  for  the  breeder  and  the  most  fair  for  the 
public;  in  fact,  a  thoroughbred  breeder  would  be  obliged  to 
adopt  this  course  or  keep  and  train  all  he  bred.  Buyers 
would  not  attend  a.  sale  where  the  breeder  had  retained  those 
he  thought  most  promising  and  had  sent  the  balance  into  the 
ring. 

It  would  seem  that  some  of  our  trotting  breeders  might 
with  profit  adopt  a  policy  of  sending  all  young  stock  into 
the  sale  ring,  say  at  two  years  old,  when  nicely  broken  and 
developed  sufficiently  to  show  the  promise  of  the  future. 
There  are  now  severil  families  of  Milhcient  standing  to  make 
their  get  attract  buyers  on  the  strength  of  the  family  excell- 
ence. '  *f  course  a  diflerent  line  of  advertising  or  booming  by 
the  breeders  would  be  necessary.  Instead  of  parading  a  long 
line  of  performers,  many  of  which  had  never  earned  the  cost 
-^f  their  training  hills,  breeders  would  state  how  much  money 
the  get  of  their  horse  had  won  and  solicit  a  patronage  of  the 
public  on  an  earning  basis  rather  than  on  one  of  empty 
honors. 

( )n  the  other  hand,  if  a  breeder  wished  to  develop  and  race 
the  stock  he  bred,  he  could  s. '11  those  that  did  not  develop 
Hufficient  speed  for  just  what  they  were  after  having  them 
thoroughly  broken  and  made  safe,  pleasant  road  horses.  Noth- 
ing is  gained  by  coming  before  the  public  with  a  lie  and 
parading  a  lot  of  culled  or  crippled  youngsters  as  promising 
stake  winners.  A  reputation  (or  honesty  should  be  very  dear 
to  every  man,  and  it  is  absolutely  essential  to  a  man  like  a 
breeder  that  has  to  stand  or  fall  on  the  strength  of  public 
opinion 


over  the  race  horse  breeder.  The  horse  he  breeds  that  cannot 
race  can  be  put  to  use  in  road  driving  or  in  other  occupations, 
and  thus  a  market  is  provided  that  repays  the  cost  of  produc- 
tion. On  the  other  hand  the  race  horse  breeder  or  owner  can 
find  no  market  for  his  culls,  for  thev  can  fill  no  useful  place. 
During  the  past  few  years,  while  the  trot'ing  breeder  could 
sell  everything  he  produced  that  could  label  "  a  standard," 
there  was  not  much  thought  given  to  the  qualities  that 
should  create  and  sustain  a  market  by  force  of  merit.  It  is 
time  now  to  give  these  things  more  thought  and  build  up  if 
we  would  not  see  the  whole  structure  go  down. — American

Pleasanton  Items. 


The  two-year-old  brother  to  the  Ramsdell- Dexter  Prince 
horse  is  a  good  one.  He  is  a  natural  pacer  like  his  near 
relative,  Saladin,  and  can  now  show  a  2:16  gait  for  an 
eighth. 

Hickok's  Silicon  is  being  treated  for  a  small  splint,  and  it 
is  thought  that  she  will  be  all  right  in  two  or  three  weeks. 
If  she  is  it  will  take  a  great  four-year-old  to  beat  her  ;  right 
and  fit,  no  four  year-old  has  a  right  to  beat  her  a  single  heat. 

Ramsdell's  five-year-old  Dexter  Prince  stallion  is  still  im- 
proving, and  he  promises  to  be  good  company  even  iu  the 
grand  circuit.  Argenta,  the  three-year-old  Steinway  pacing 
filly,  is  going  fast  and  well.  She  will  not  be  a  discredit  to 
her  sire. 

Myers  &  Myers  have  a  very  promising  lot  of  trotters  and 
pacers.  Cyrus  is  looking  well  and  going  like  a  bullet.  He 
was  a  bag  of  bones  last  year  at  this  time,  and  had  been  worked 
to  death  ;  now  he  is  big  and  strong,  and  has  more  speed  and 
is  steadier  than  ever.  He  will  take  a  lot  of  beating  in  his 
class. 

Sutherland  has  quite  a  string,  aud  among  them  some  good 
ones.  They  show  his  care  and  attention,  for  among  the 
twenty  which  he  has  had  the  past  winter,  and  now  has,  there 
has  not  been  a  lame  or  sick  one.  He  will  have  quite  a  string 
around  the  circuit,  and  he  will  get  his  share  of  the  money 
hung  up,  and  he  deserves  to. 

Alviso  and  Timmerman  have  high  hopes  of  Rosita  A.,  and 
well  they  may  have,  for  she  never  looked  and  acted  so  well  as 
now.  Alviso  is  entitled  to  great  credit  for  the  careful  way 
she  has  been  trained  and  fitted  for  three  years.  Timmerman 
has  a  three-year  old  Guide  filly,  out  of  a  Monroe  Chief  mare, 
which  is  a  good  one.     He  is  training  her  himself. 

Flora  S-,  the  roan  Dexter  Prince  that  trotted  from  the 
green  class  to  2:1S  last  year,  is  looking  and  going  well,  and 
under  Lawrence's  careful  and  patient  handling  she  is  acting 
much  better.  She  will  trouble  some  of  the  best  of  them 
before  the  end  of  the  heat  is  reached.  I  have  not  seen  their 
youngsters  work  lately,  but  I  hear  that  they  are  good  ones. 

The  youngsters  from  Palo  Alto  show  well,  especially 
Expressive  and  Palatine.  If  any  three-year-old,  even  Nelly 
A.,  beats  them,  there  will  have  been  a  horse  race.  Andy 
McDowell  is  handling  a  part  of  this  string,  and  be  is  hard  at 
work  with  his  coat  oft'  and  sleeves  rolled  up.  His  mares 
Edenia  and  Sidlette  are  in  fine  form,  and  speedy  enough  for 
any  company. 

"Men  may  come  and  men  may  go,"  but  the  horses  go  on, 
here,  forever.  Up  in  town  the  people  ask  about  the  prospects 
of  rain  and  the  future  of  the  crops,  but  here  at  the  track  the 
only  question  is:  "How  fast  did  your  colt  or  filly  do  the 
quarter?  "  All  the  talk  is  speed,  speed,  and  rpore  speed,  aDd 
thev  have  got  it,  too.  Directum  is  here  in  Hickok's  hands, 
and  he  never  looked  better.  With  Hickok  to  fit  him  and 
drive  him  he  ought  to  still  maintain  his  title  of  "champion 
of  the  world." 

The  veteran  Salisbury  is  sampling  his  string.  He  has  some 
more  great  ones.  Luck,  the  envious  and  jealous  ones  will 
say,  but  I  believe  "  character  is  destiny."  It  is  his  good 
judgment  and  energy  that  gets  the  good  horses,  and  it  is  his 
great  care  and  skill  in  training  that  develops  them.  Don 
Lowell  is  as  fast  as  any  trotting  horse  in  the  world.  Whether 
he  can  carry  it  for  three  heats  below  2:10  remains  to  be  seeD. 
He  has  a  pure,  easy  gait,  a  first-class  head,  and  he  makes  no 
mistakes.  His  two-year-old  sister  is  the  fastest  two-year-old 
with  the  first  set  of  shoes  that  I  ever  saw.  She  can  show  a 
2:16  gait  now.  The  Direct  two-year-olds  are  great  ones. 
The  Knox  filly  is  better  now  than  Director's  Flower  was  last 
year  at  this  time.  Rokeby,  the  Director- Lilly  Stanley  pac- 
ing three-year-old  is  very  fast  and  game.  He  is  improving 
in  his  way  of  going,  and  will  be  no  discredit  to  his  kin — 
Directand  Directum.  Royanna,  the  three-year-old  Director- 
Roxana  filly  is  very  promising,  and  is  the  only  one  which, 
Salisbury  has  in  the  Kentucky  Futurity.  She  may  not  win 
the  $25,000  firet  money,  but  she  will  be  close  to  it.

Mr.  John  H.  Shuxts  has  a  valuable  youDg  stallion  in 
Thistle,  who  has  paced  to  a  record  of  2:13|.  He  is  the 
brother  of  Gold  Leaf,  2:11},  and  at  six  years  old  he  had  to 
his  credit  Oriole,  2:20  at  three  years;  To  Order,  2:12J  at 
three  years  ;  Delia  S.,  2:21  at  three  years;  and  Dave  Hy- 
land,  2:441  at  two  years.  Thistle's  Dolly  trotted  quarters  at 
three  years  old  in  36  seconds,  and  a  three-year-old  gelding 
was  timed  a  quarter  in  39A  second.  Thistle  had  but  six  foals 
in  1S90,  and  all  of  them  beat  2:30  or  showed  capacity  to  do  it. 
Two  of  the  get  of  Thistle  were  sold  by  Mr.  Kellogg  on  Friday 
of  last  week  and  both  attracted  much  attention.  The  bay 
gelding  (4)  out  of  Nellie  Gilmer,  by  Norfall,  thoroughbred 
son  of  Norfolk, showed  fine  trotting  action  and  he  auickly  ran 
up  to  $480,  and  Oriole  (4)  was  knocked  down  to  Mr.  Sbults, 
who  bid  $1,200.  Although  a  pacer,  Thistle  is  getting  trotting 
as  well  as  pacing  speed,  and  thus  far  no  blanks  have  been 
bred  from  him.  Mr.  Shults  has  abiding  faith  in  him  and  he 
will  make  him  one  of  the  great  sires  of  the  country. — Turf

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 


TWENTY -SECOND    DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MAY    2. 

.HE  bookmakers  had    a    very  for- 
lorn  appearaoce  and  their  pocket 
books  looked  lamentably  thin  after 
y^  {I  the    talent  got  through  wrangling 

#  ^  with  them  on  the    financial  ques- 

tion to-day.  The  reason  of  this 
was  that  four  favorites  got  home  in 
front,  and  all  were  heavily  played. 
In  three  of  the  five  events  form- 
players  gave  the  pencilers  the  whip- 
saw  as  well  as  the  ha-ha.  It  was 
a  beautiful  afternoon,  the  track  was  never  much  faster,  most 
of  the  contestants  were  of  excellent  quality,  and  in  conse- 
j  quence  a  good-sized  crowd  was  on  hand  to  see  the  sport. 
Frank  Van  Ness  had  a  regular  picnic,  two  of  his  horses  win- 
ning and  another  running  third.  Incidentally  it  was  a 
pleasant  day  for  Madison,  who  piloted  two  winners.  Other 
successful  jockeys  were  Wilkins  (who  is  one  shade  darker 
than  Madison),  L.  Lloyd  and  Bozeman. 

Imp.  Trentola,  the  favorite  in  the  first  event,  ran  second 
to  the  homestretch,  where  he  easily  went  by  Red  Rose.  A 
little  over  a  sixteenth  from  home  Seaside  was  gaining  fast, 
having  come  from  the  rear,  but  the  best  she  could  do  was 
get  within  .ineck  of  him  at  the  end.  Currency  made  a  phe- 
nomenal run  from  the  extreme  rear,  finishing  third.  Had 
Seaside  got  away  on  even  terms  with  Trentola  she  might 
would  have  thrown  dust  in  the  favorite's  eyes. 
1  BelHcoso  is  a  grand  colt  after  all.  Getting  away  third,  he 
raced  to  the  front  in  the  first  one  hundred  yards,  led  the  Mid- 
lothian— Marigold  filly  half  a  length  at  the  head  of  the  home- 
stretch, and  when  she  got  up  to  his  neck  about  a  sixteenth 
from  home  came  away  with  ease  and  won  by  one  and  a  ahlf 
1  »ogths,  the  Marigold  filly  beating  Sea  Spray  as  far  for  the 
[j  lace.  Tbe  time,  0:49,  was  the  fastest  made  here  this  season. 
Hy  Dy  won  the  mile  race  quite  handily  from  LonDie  B. 
Trix  led  until  well  in  the  homestretch,  and  finished  third. 
I  Tbe  winner  of  the  six  furlong  handicap  (which  was  a 
graod  piece  of  weight-fixing)  turned  up  in  De  Bracey,  who 
just  beat  Motto  a  scant  half  length  in  the  extra  fast  time  of 
I:14J .  Motto  went  to  the  front  without  delay,  led  by  five 
lengths  at  the  half  and  four  lengths  into  the  homestretch,  and 
looked  every  inch  a  winner  up  to  the  last  seventy-five  yards. 
She  ran  the  first  half  in  -ii  seconds,  and  the  hot  pace  told  on 
her  in  the  homestretch.  This  win  of  De  Bracey's  stamps  him 
3  great  colt.     He  was  at  5  and  6  to  1  in  tbe  betting. 

Midget,  a  heavily  played  favorite,  led   all  the  wav  in  the 
ast  race,  and  though  dying  away,  lasted  long  enough  to  win 
»7  less  than  a  length   from  the  75-to  1  shot,  Hercules,  who 
would  have  won  had  the  race  been  thirty  yards  farther.

Romulus  was  a  well-played  favorite  at  2  to  1.  Romair  was 
at  2h  to  1,  De  Bracey  5,  Rear  Guard  7,  Motto  8  and  Hyder 
Augia  10  to  1.  Romair,  Romulus,  Rear  Guard,  Motto  was  the 
order  to  a  good  start.  Motto  went  through  the  bunch  like  a 
streak,  passing  the  half-pole  five  lengths  in  front  of  Romulus, 
who  was  about  half  a  length  from  Romair.  Motto  was  first 
into  the  homestretch  by  four  lengths,  Romulus  secood  as  far 
from  Romair,  who  had  Rear  Guard  and  De  Bracey  at  his 
heels.  The  latter  turned  close  against  the  rails,  and  saved 
considerable  ground.  Motto  swung  rather  wide.  Up  to  the 
last  sixteenth  it  looked  all  over  Motto's  race.  Madison  was 
hard  at  work  on  De  Bracey  all  the  time,  however,  and  in  a 
demoniac  drive  landed  him  a  winner  by  a  scant  half  length, 
Motto  second,  as  far  from  Romulus,  who  beat  Rear  Guard 
a  head.  Time,  1:j4£  for  the  full  three-quarters-  It  was  a

lengths,  Norlee  second,  half  a  length  from  Kathleen,  who  led 
Bill  Howard  two  leogths.  Midget  was  quitting  at  the  end,

TWENTY-THIRD  DAT — THURSDAY,  MAY  3. 

One  lonely  favorite]  scrambled  in  a  winner  this  model  af- 
ternoon, and  that  was  all.  In  consequence  the  festive  pen- 
ciler  smiled  sweeter  and  sweeter  as  matters  progressed,  and 
"the  talent"  scowled  a  John  L.  Sullivan  scowl.  That  the 
book-makers  got  even  on  yesterday's  slaughter  is  as  certain 
as  can  be.  The  track  was  fast  and  the  fields  perhaps  tbe 
smallest  of  the  entire  meeting.  Jt  was  an  "off day"  with  a 
vengeance.  Chevalier  wreathed  himself  with  glory.  He  had 
four  mounts,  and  rode  three  winners.  All  were  ft  captivating 
odds — Venus  at  4£  to  1  at  one  time,  Nervoso  at  3  and 
Ravine  at  8  to  1.  Burns  shoved  Joe  Franks  in  a  winner  at 
odds  of  30  to  1,  while  L.  Lloyd  rode  the  lonely  favorite, 
Banjo,  to  easy  victory. 

Niagara,  the  fivorile,  looked  a  22  carat  fine  winner  up  to 
the  last  sixty  yards  io  the  first  race,  and  then  tired  so  badly 
that  the  30  to  1  shot,  Joe  Frank,  came  up  and  nipped  the 
race  by  a  head.  Prince  Idle  was  a  bang-up  third.  The  shock 
of  Joe  Frank's  victorv  was  a  terrible  one,  for  Niagara  had 
been  played  for  thousands. 

In  the  second  race  Venus  got  away  in  front,  and  the  further 
sbe  went  the  longer  became  ths  space  separating  her  from  the 
field.  She  won  Use  a  wild  mare  by  six  lengths,  and  0:49  was 
hung  up  as  the  time.  Coquette  got  the  place  and  Silver  the 
show.  El  Tirano,  the  favorite,  finished  a  poor  fourth.  The 
running  of  Venus  and  El  Tirano  is  quite  beyond  the  ordinary 
student  of  form.  In  Venus'  previous  race  sbe  ran  abso- 
lutely last  in  a  field  little  if  indeed  any  better  than  the  one 
of  to  day.  El  Tirano,  on  that  occasioo,  in  receipt  of  nine 
pounds,  beat  her  perhaps  that  many  lengths  in  a  half-mile  run. 
True,  the  track  was  slow,  but  in  that  race  Venus  ran  up  from 
fourth  to  first  place,  showing  that  she  could  go  well  in  the 
heavv  going,  and  some  of  her  performances  previous  to  that 
would  go  far  to  prove  that  she  was  not  at  all  bad  in  the  mud. 
To-day  EI  Tirano  was  in  receipt  of  five  pounds  from  Venus, 
and  she  not  onlv  turned  the  tables,  but  won  the  race  by  six 
lengths.  In  all  EI  Tirano  was  beaten  eight  lengths  by  the 
Verano  filly  to-day.  The  question  then  arises,  should  four 
pounds  off  make  a  difference  in  Venus'  favor  of  from  seven- 
teen to  twenty  lengths,  and  why  should  Coquette  and  Silver 
defeat  El  Tirano  when  the  latter  beat  both  easily  a  few  days 
at  the  same  weights?  The  time  buog  out  (0:49)  may  or 
may  Dot  be  correct,  but  as  some  declare  the  timing  flag  was 
not  dropped  at  the  proper  time,  there  is  room  to  doubt  the 
correctness. 

Banjo  simply  galloped  in  a  winner  of  the  third  race,  Prom- 
ise getting  the  place  and  Currency  the  show. 

Nervoso  easily  captured  the  fourth  event  oo  the  card,  Mus- 
tesasecuring  place  honors  and  King  Sam,  the  favorite,  third. 
The  judges  did  not  like  the  ride  put  up  by  Shaw  on  King 
Sam,  and  suspended  him  indefinitely  pending  investigation. 
This  boy  rode  Ceotella  in  most  of  her  races  here  during  the 


past  three  months,  and  the  rather  inconsistent  running  of 
that  mare  was  put  down  to  a  lack  of  experience  in  her  pilot 
by  most  persoDS. 

Ravine,  an  8-to-l  shot,  got  away  third  in  the  last  race, 
romped  to  the  fore  in  the  first  100  yards  and  won  easily  by 
four  lengths  from  Gussie,  who  beat  the  favorite,  St.  Croix, 
half  a  length.

King  Sam  was  not  a  very  warm  favorite,  opening  at  9  to  5, 
closing  at  2  to  1.  Nervoso  was  at  3  to  1,  Mendocino  3A,  Bliss 
7  and  Mustesa  15  to  1.  Chula,  King  Sam,  Bliss  was  the  order 
to  a  good  start.  Chula  led  passing  the  half  by  a  length,  Ner- 
voso second,  half  a  length  from  Mustesa,  who  was  three 
lengths  from  Bliss.  Nervoso  collared  and  passed  Chula  three 
furlongs  from  home,  and  led  her  into  the  homestretch  by  a 
length,  Chula  second,  tivo  lengths  from  Mustesa.  There  was 
no  change  until  well  in  the  homestretch,  when  Chula  fell 
back  and  Mustesa  moved  into  second  place  The  latter  tried 
hard  to  reach  Nervoso,  but  could  not  do  better  than  get

easy  winner.  One  length  behind  Mustesa  came  King  Sam,

Peep  o'  D  \\,  2:21,  is  driven  oo  the  roads  in  Cleveland. 


Do  not  forget  to  make  entries  in  the  Petaluma  races. 
They  will  close  May  15th. 

PaoGRAMMES  of  the  first  seven  days  of  the  great  St. 
Louis  meeting  can  be  had  at  this  office. 

JAM  IS  GOLDEN  will  campaign  Ralph  Wilkes,  2:18,  Di- 
rector's Flower,  2:20.  and  Whisper  this  year. 

Never  select  long-legged,  long-backed,  light-barrelled, 
wasp-waisted  mares  to  breed  from  ;  ditto  stallions. 

Breeders  who  "  have  an  eye  for  a  good  horse  "  have  a 
great  advantage  of  those  who  lack  that  qualification. 

AsiiELiN'A,  2:12,  has  been  tired  and  turned  out  by  "Coun- 
sellor" Crawford.  Sue  made  her  good  campaign  last  year  on 
three  legs.  

■  R.  B.  Wheeler,  of  Redlands,  claims  to  own  one  of  the 
smallest  horses  in  the  world.  It  is  fully  and  perfectly  devel- 
oped but  it  weighs  only  eighty  pounds. 

Hon.  B.  D.  Murphy,  of  San  Jose,  Cat,  is  breeding  three 
mares  to  Hambletonian  Wilkes,  one  by  Steinway,  dam  by 
Nutwood,  and  two  to  Maud  Alameda,  2:24A  also. 


The  legislature  of  Massachusetts  has  passed  a  law  directing 
all  persons  who  dock  horses  to  cover  the  horses  with  fly  net- 
ting during  the  months  of  June,  July,  August  and  September. 

Tut  kite  track  at  Stockton  is  kept  open  but  is  said  to  be 
verv  heavy  for  training  purposes.  The  elliptical  track  is 
closed  at  present,  but  will  be  put  in  condition  for  the  circuit 
meeting.  

D.  C.  Murthv,  of  Redwood  City,  has  a  splendid  piece  of 
land  whicu  he  has  set  apart  for  pasturage.  Plenty  of  water 
and  good  care  taken  of  all  stock  sent  him.  His  rates  are  very 
reasonable. 

A  sew  race  track  association  has  been  organized  at  Alham- 
bra,  Ariz.,  a  suburb  of  Phoenix.  A  number  of  good  horses  are 
bred  and  owned  in  that  vicinity,  and  Phoenix  ought  to  sup- 
port a  good  track. 

A  Gentlemen's  Driving  Club  has  been  organized  in 
Monterey.  They  have  a  lease  of  the  track  for  a  term  of 
years.  The  contract  for  putting  the  track  in  proper  shape 
has  been  completed. 

Hambletonian  Wilkes  has  mares  booked  to  him  by 
Dawn,  2:18|,  Sidney,  2:191,  Dexter  Prince,  Carr's  Mambrino, 
Joe  Elmo  3450,  Geo.  Benton,  2:34V,  Steinway,  2:25|,  Santa 
Claus,  2:17V,  and  Sultandin,  2:29£. 


Parkville  Farm  has  so  many  trotters  in  training  that 
Mr.  Shults  has  had  to  close  his  track  on  the  Boulevard  to  out- 
side trainers  and  owners  who  have  had  the  privilege  of  work- 
ing or  speeding  their  horses  over  it. 

Injudicious  hurry  duriug  the  earlier  part  of  the  training 
season  is  the  cause  of  more  horses  going  wrong  than  most  any 
other  combination  of  causes,  and  yet  a  great  many  men  fail 
to  learn  by  past  experience  in  this  matter. 

E.  S.  Clayton,  who  has  charge  »f  the  Suffolk,  Va.,  Driv- 
ing Park,  has  a  two-year-old  by  Albert  W.,  dam  Sultana,  by 
Sultan,  that  has  shown  him  an  eighth  in  17  seconds,  and  a 
quarter  in  36"  seconds.  The  name  of  the  youngster  is  Char- 
ley Stewart. 

We  have  been  informed  that  James  Dustin  of  Santa  Rosa 
has  completed  arrangements  with  John  Mackey  of  Rancho 
del  Paso  to  lake  his  three  trotters.Shylock,  Bonner  N.  B.,  and 
Red  Oak,  East,  and  with  them  Mr.  Dustin  will  appear  on  the 
Eastern  circuit. 

He  who  makes  histe  slowly  in  early  spring  work  hastens 
the  preparation  of  his  horse  for  the  turf  battles  that  are  to 
follow;  while  he  who  begins  early  with  stifl  work  and  "re- 
peats" will  succeed  in  "doing  up"  his  charges  before  the 
racing  season  arrives. 

The  dates  for  the  1894  meeting  of  the  Oregon  State  Board 
of  Agriculture  have  been  finally  selected.  The  meeting  will 
occupy  the  third  week  of  September,  beginning  with  the  17th 
and  continuing  for  six  days.  Nominations  in  several  of  the 
races  closed  on  May  1st. 

Jessie  M.  (dam  of  Ben  Corbitt,  2:21),  by  A.  W.Rich- 
mond, foaled  a  beautiful  bay  filly  on  the  23d  inst.  Its  sire  is 
Bernal,  2:I7,by  Electioneer.one  of  the  Palo  Alto  stallions  that 
was  sold  last  fall  at  auction.  This  little  one  is  a  beauty  and 
ought  to  be  fast.  It  is  called  Bernanita. 

LOCKHEABT,  2:13,  MarkSirius,  2:13,  Balkan,  2:15  and  the 
great  Courier,  2:164,  are  all  booked  for  the  2:13  trotting 
stake  at  Minneapolis,  Minn.  This  stake  should  make  one  of 
the  greatest  races  that  has  as  yet  ever  taken  place,  as  every 
horse  in  it  is  capable  of  beating  his  record. 

In  order  to  make  the  market  of  the  future  permanent  and 
prosperous,  the  earning  capacity  of  the  trotter  must  be  in- 
creased, and  to  create  an  early  demand  for  young  stoek  both 
the  public  and  the  trotting  associotions  must  be  educated  so 
that  colt  racing  should  be  both  popular  and  profitable. 

Some  one  claims  the  name  Dr.  Hicks  for  a  two-year  old  in 
this  State.  That  name  has  already  been  taken  by  G.  B. 
Simpson,  the  well-known  horseman  of  Chico,  for  his  brown 
colt  by  Durfee  11,266,  out  of  Gazelle,  by  Buccaneer,  and  the 
number  appended  to  Dr.  Hick's  name  in  Volume  Mil  in 
23,103. 

Hknky  Hakeic  is  the  name  of  a  very  fine  Anteeo  stallion 
in  Monterey,  Monterey  County.  He  was  bred  to  a  number 
of  excellent  mares  last  year  and  the  produce  has  excited  con- 
siderable comment  among  horse  owners  for  their  uniformitv, 
size  and  style,  hence  applications  for  his  services  are  coming 
in  rapidh 

The  broodmare  Del  Rose,  by  Del  Sur  (2:24),  dam  Vashti 
(dam  of  The  Grand  Moor),  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  owned  at 
Mnplehurst  Farm,  Lancaster,  Mass.,  has  a  fine  colt  hv  Ralph 
Wilkes  (2:18).  Last  year  Del  Rose  had  a  colt  by  Constan- 
tino (2:12$),  that  is  now  one  of  the  largest  and  fastest  year- 
lings in  New  England. 


C.  J.  Hamlin  uses  electricity  for  horses  afflicted  with 
rheumatism,  stiffness  and  other  ailments,  with  wonderful  suc- 
cess. 


The  three-year-old  colt  purchased  by  F.  &  B.  Jacobs,  of 
Hubbard,  at  the  Cleveland  sale  in  the  spring  of  1893,  known 
as  Oddfellow,  has  been  registered  as  Oddity,  as  the  former 
name  was  already  claimed.  He  is  by  the  great  Sidney,  out 
of  Miss  V.,  by  Valensin  ;  second  dam  Lightfoot,  by  Flax- 
tail  ;  third  dam  Fanny  Fern,  by  Irwin's  Tuckahoe. 

F.  F.  Moulton,  of  Redwood  City,  takes  great  pleasure 
driving  his  Silver  Bow  filly,  Silver  Bell.  She  is  one  of  the 
kind  that  would  make  all  horsemen  who  see  her  wish  they 
owned  her.  She  is  a  typical  counterpart  of"  her  sire  and 
moves  with  that  free,  strong  gait  which  has  made  Silver  Bow 
so  much  admired  wherever  he  has  appeared. 

Andrew  McDowell  has  signed  articles  with  Monroe 
Salisbury  .and  cancelled  all  entries  for  his  own  horses  on 
this  coast.  So  now  we  know  who  will  pilot  the  great  time  an- 
nibilators  to  victory  for  the  famous  "  King  of  Horsemen." 
"  Andy,"  as  he  is  known  all  over  California,  is  a  splendid  con- 
ditioner and  driver,  and  when  it  comes  to  a  finish  he  can  hold 
his  own  with  any  driver  that  ever  sat  in  a  sulky. 

T.  C.  Snider  of  Sacramento  has  sent  his  mares  Reka 
Patchen,  by  Alexander,  and  a  mare  by  Steinway,  to  Pleasan- 
ton.  They  have  fillies  at  foot  by  Direct,  2:05  A-,  and  ^ill  be 
bred  to  the  little  black  king  this  year.  Direct  will  not  form 
one  of  the  Salisbury  string  this  season.  His  season  in  the  stud 
will  be  a  very  heavy  one,  so  Mr.  Salisbury  has  decided  to  let 
him  remain. 

Directum  is  all  right.  The  injury  to  his  knees  did  not 
amount  to  anything.  The  story  of  the  three  black  crows  is 
verified  every  day  we  live,  it  seems,  and  the  evil  wisher  who 
exaggerated  the  story  about  Directum  and  sent  it  to  this 
journal  is  respectfully  informed  that  his  bump  of  imagina- 
tion is  a  twin  peak  to  his  protuberance  of  prevarication.  Di- 
rectum is  moving  well  and  Orria  A.  Hickok  will  be  ready  to 
prove  this  is  so  when  the  bell  rings. 

Johnnie  Driscoll,  the  gentlemanly  Long  Island  trainer, 
will  have  a  lot  of  good  horses  out  this  season.  Among  the 
horses  he  is  now  training  are  Sabina,  2:15  J,  by  Sable  Wilkes; 
Ella  E.,  2:25,  by  Chicago  Volunteer  ;  Vernon,  2:26.],  by  Whip- 
ple's Hambletonian  ;  Gray  light,  2:l6h,  by  Starlight ;  a  three- 
year-old  by  Stamboul,  out  of  Bon  Bon,  and  that  great  old 
pacer  Arrow,  2:13},  by  A.  W.  Richmond,  who  in  1886  made 
a  great  campaign  down  the  Grand  Circuit  line. 

The  free-for-all  pace  at  the  Denver  meeting,  June  9  to  16, 
promisee  to  be  a  lively  affair,  for  it  has  fifteen  entries,  headed 
bv  Flying  Jib,  2:04,  the  ocher  fourteen  entries  comprising 
such  ones  as  W.  W.  P.,  2:04  ;  Online,  2:11 ;  Fred  K.,  2:lli  ; 
Yolo  Maid,  2:12;  Albert  E.,  2:111  ;  Dandy  O.,  2:12} ;  Lena 
Hill,  2:12^  ;  Newsboy,  2:12| ;  Beulah,  2:14*  ;  Cebron,  2:17| ; 
Jingler,  2:151;  Uncle  Jack;  2:16|;  Fresno  Prince,  2:17|  and 
L.  C.  Lee,  2:15.  

The  chestnut  horse  Fillmore,  four  years  old,  by  Palo  Alto, 
out  of  Miss  Gift,  by  Gen.  Benton,  and  she  out  of  Addie  Lee, 
dam  of  Adair,  2:17},  will  be  in  the  stable  of  W-  H.Snyder 
this  season,  and  there  will  be  disappointment  if  he  does  not 
show  up  well  in  the  stakes.  Last  season  with  very  little  work 
he  trotted  toa  record  of  2:21  J.  The  sons  and  daughtersof 
Palo  Alto,  so  far  as  tried,  have  the  racehorse  qualities  of 
their  sire. — Horseman. 

Local  horsemen  of  Vacaville  are  making  extensive  pre- 
parations for  their  race  meeting  to  be  held  on  July  4th.  The 
kite-shaped  track  has  been  placed  in  excellent  condition  and 
many  good  racers  are  now  being  worked  there  daily.  The 
people  of  our  neighboring  town  are  enterprising  and  their 
efforts  for  this  day's  amusement  should  be  appreciated  by 
the  people  of  that  county. 

T.  W.  Moore's  bay  mare  Veronica,  2:29,  foaled  a  fine, 
large,  bay  colt  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  last  week  at  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm.  Veronica  is  by  Alcona  730,  out  of  Fon- 
tana  (dam  of  three  in  2:30  list),  by  AImont33;  second  dam 
Fanny  Williams  (dam  of  Bay  Chieftain,  2:28}),  by  Abdallah 
15,  etc.  This  young;  colt  is  bred  right  so  Mr.  Moore  has 
concluded  to  breed  the  mare  again  to  the  greatest  Wilkes 
stallion  on  the  coast.        

W.  S.  Chapman,  of  this  city,  and  Burnell  Bros.,  of  Wash- 
ington, have  a  string  of  good  trotters  at  Pleasanton.  At  the 
head  of  the  string  is  Ingraham,  by  Volunteer,  and  he  is  as 
fine  an  individual  as  anybody's  horse.  The  rest  of  the  string 
are  all  his  get  and  they  are  good  individuals  and  uniformly 
fast  and  pure  gaited.  Orofino  is  the  fastest  of  the  lot  with  a 
record  of  2:22,  and  he  is  good  enough  for  any  company.  The 
string  will  go  East  with  Salisbury's  lot  and  race  in  the  East- 
ern circuits. 

George  Hayt,  of  Elmira,  has  been  engaged  as  starter 
though  the  Central  New  York  Circuit,  which  begins  in  June 
and  continues  until  the  end  of  September.  Frank  B.  Walker, 
of  Indianapolis,  the  best  starting  judge  ever  seen  about  here, 
will  serve  as  starter  at  the  big  two  weeks'  meeting  at  Buffalo. 
The  horses  at  three  tracks  on  the  line  of  the  Grand  Circuit 
are  to  "  take  the  word  "  from  the  respective  presidents  of  the 
tracks,  D.  J.  Campau  at  Detroit,  Col.  William  Edwards  at 
Cleveland  and  George  Archer  at  Rochester. — N.  Y.  Times. 

If  a  popular  vote  was  taken  on  the  two  ranking  living  sires 
it  is  odus  that  Nutwood  and  Director  would  he  the  selections. 
One  of  them  has  a  record  of  2:18:j  and  the  other  of  2:17.  The 
first  got  his  fastest  performer.  Manager,  2:06ij,  out  of  Carrie, 
record  2:29j,  by  George  Wilkes,  2:22.  The  latter  got  his 
fastest  performer,  Directum,  2:05  J,  out  of  Stemwinder,  record 
2:31,  by  Venture,  record  2:271,  a*10"  his  next  fastest,  Direct, 
2:05$,  out  of  Echora,  record  2:28},  by  Echo,  record  2:37A, 
two-mile  record  5:191.  And  still  sundry  journalistic  ravens 
continue  to  croak  "  nevermore  "  if  it  is  suggested  that  "speed 
begets  speed." 

K.  O'Grady,  the  lessee  of  the  famous  Hobart  Stock  Farm, 
has  over  100  head  of  horses,  trotters  and  thoroughbreds  at 
pasture  there  ;  they  are  all  looking  well  and  show  they 
are  well  cared  for.  His  stallion,  Flsrt  Boswell,  by  Ouward, 
out  of  Nancy  Lee  (dam  of  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04),  by  Dictator, 
is  considered  to  be  one  of  the  coming  sires.  H'm  colts  and 
fillies  thin  year  are  fine  looking,  peifect-limbed  and  ns  well 
proportioned  as  any  we  have  seen.  Every  one  who  bred  a 
mare  to  the  horse  last  year  and  sees  how  well  the  produce 
looks,  is  returning  the  matron  this  season.  This  is  a  test  of 
the  appreciation  of  a  good  horse  by  breeders. 


Bob  Murry,  the  young  man  who  has  been  the  caretaker 
of  the  great  Directum,  is  one  of  the  best-known  men  in  the 
business.  His  reputation  as  a  horseman  is  universally  known. 
Years  ago  he  had  charge  of  horses  for  Geo.  B.  Ally  and 
other  famous  horseowners  of  New  York.  He  worked  with 
Hiram  Woodruff,  Budd  Doble,  Starr,  Salisbury  and  others, 
and  the  latter  has  hired  him  again  to  take  charge  of  some  of 
his  horses  this  season.  Bob  is  well-liked  by  every  one.  The 
i  credit  of  making  great  horses  belongs  inside  the  stable  as 
much  as  outside.  This  is  a  fact  which  is  ignored  by  the 
public  too  often  in  these  days  of  progression. 

To  have  horses  ready  to  go  to  the  races  they  want  to  be 
able  to  kick  you  on  the  top  bottom  of  your  waistcoat  but  not 
hit  you  on  the  chin  ;  or  in  other  words,  they  want  to  be  just 
about  on  edge  the  first  time  they  are  turned  around  and  ihen 
the  race  will  do  the  rest.  All  the  speed  must  not  be  horned 
out  of  them  before  the  money  is  up.  These  spring  days  are 
apt  to  lure  the  trainers  on  to  fast  work,  and  once  it  is  beguo 
goodby  to  all  chances  of  the  horse  coming  up  for  the  word 
in  condition.  They  will  have  trotted  their  races  before  the 
bell  rings. — American  Sportsman.

George  Fox,  of  Angels  Camp,  Calaveras  County,  has 
two-year-old  colt  which  is  to  a  certain  extent  a  natural  curi- 
osity. For  some  months  past  the  colt  has  had  a  tender  spot 
near  its  right  ear,  and  recently  it  resulted  in  an  open  wound. 
After  trying  in  vain  to  heal  it,  its  owner  decided  to  take  the 
animal  to  a  doctor  of  Stockton  to  have  the  wound  treated.  The 
doctor  after  a  careful  examination  made  an  incision  with  his 
scalpel,  and,  taking  a  pair  of  stroog  forceps  in  his  hand,  he 
drew  from  the  place  a  well-formed  molar  tooth,  in  form, 
shape  and  color  exactly  like  those  in  the  colt's  mouth.  The 
colt  improved  at  once  and  the  wound  is  healing. — Lodi  Re-

Thos.  Snider  has  twelve  head  of  lively  trotters  and  pa- 
cers in  his  string  at  Sacramento.  In  the  lot  he  has  horses  eli- 
gible for  2:27, 2:30  and  2:40  trotting  events,  a  green  pacer,  and 
four  two-year-olds,  but  the  King  pin  of  all,  a  four-year-old 
called  Buchanan,  was  sold  to  Lee  Shaner  last  Saturday. 
Mr.  Snider  got  Buchanan  as  a  green  colt,  and  after  sir 
weeks'  handling  got  him  trotting  quarters  in  thirty-three  sec- 
onds easily.  He  is  the  making  of  one  of  the  fastest  horses  in 
California.  The  loss  of  such  a  green  trotter  to  Mr.  Snider  must 
be  a  severe  one,  for  no  one  loves  to  develop  and  race  a  clinker 
better  than  he.  Lee  is  to  be  congratulated  on  securing  such  a 
good  one  as  Buchanan,  but  rumor  says  he  is  only  one  out  of 
the  many  composing  his  string. 



Monroe  Salisbury's  entries  at  Buffalo  in  colt  classes 
are:  Purse  No.  8,  $1,000  for  two-year-old  trotters,  2:40  class, 
Miss  Kate,  by  Direct;  Scud,  by  Don  Marvin;  Cressida,  by 
Palo  Alto.  Purse  No.  9,  $1,000,  two-year-old  trotters,  2:30 
class,  Miss  Kate,  by  Direct,  and  Scud,  by  Don  Marvin.  Purse 
No.  10,  $1,000,  three-year-old  trotters,  2:33  class,  Royana,  by 
Director  and  Expressive,  by  Electioneer.  Puise  No.  11, 
$1,000,  three-year-old  trotters,  2!23  class,  Rio  Alto,  by  Palo 
Alto  and  Expressive,  by  Electioneer.  Purse  No.  12,  $2,000, 
four-year-old,  2:22  class,  by  Bell  Bird,  by  Electioneer,  and 
Sidlette,  by  Sidney.  Purse  No.  13,  $1,000,  two-year-olds, 
pacers,  2:28  class,  Directly,  by  Direct.  Purse  No.  14,  $1,000, 
three-year-old  pacers,  2:18  class,  Rokeby,  by  Director.  These 
are  strong  nominations  and  will  be  close  to  first  money. 

George  Starr  brought  his  second  visit  of  the  long  vaca- 
tion to  this  locality  to  a  close  last  week,  when  he  started  for 
Terre  Haute,  taking  along  six  new  pupils  from  this  city,  and 
another  one  that  joined  him  at  Albany.  The  latter  is  Porce- 
lain, 2:23],  a  bay  gelding  of  six  years  by  Alcantara,  out  of 
lima,  2:31$,  by  Smuggler.  He  is  owned  by  John  Bartnett, 
a  successful  farrier,  who  was  for  some  time  at  Fleetwood,  and 
is  a  steady  patron  of  the  public  sales.  Kiilarney  Maid,  sent 
by  Mr.  Lockwood  of  Norwalk,  Conn.,  came  recently  into 
prominence  by  being  one  of  the  lot  brought  from  California 
and  sold  here  last  month  for  $1,325.  She  is  eight  years  old 
and  has  quite  a  turn  of  speed,  with  a  trial  of  2:13},  pacing,  to 
her  credit.  When  Starr  was  with  Monroe  Salisbury  two  years 
ago  he  handled  this  big  bay  mare,  and  should  be  able  to  get 
her  up  to  race  form  if  anybody  can.  Two  of  the  other  novices 
are  Russian-bred  Orlofls,  one  a  stallion  of  five  years  and  the 
other  a  mare  of  four  years.  A  son  of  Director  out  of  Bell 
flower,  by  Milliman's  Bellfounder,  was  in  the  lot,  and  the  ad- 
dition at  Albany  is  a  young  horse  by  Nutwood.  As  Kimball 
Patterson,  who  is  George  Starr's  first  lieutenant,  has  already 
removed  the  flyers  that  had  been  sent  to  him  before  to  the 
track  at  Terre  Haute,  the  active  season  will  begin  again  ai 
soon  as  the  weather  permits. — Rider  and  Driver.

THE  SADDLE. 


Handicapper  Brough  is  to  be  congratulated  on  his  work 
yesterday  in  the  six-furlong  race. 


Nelson  was  run  up  $800  in  the  first  race  Saturday,  or  to 
$1,500,  the  former  owners  retaining  him,  however. 


Frank  Van  Ness  had  a  streak  of  good  fortune  Wednesday, 
winning  two  races  and  running  third  with  another  of  bis 
flyers.  

Comanche  went  the  handicap  distance  on  Wednesday  in 
2:15.  McLaughlin  rather  fancies  the  "  Indian "  for  the 
Brooklyn.  

Joe  Ullman  returned  to  Chicago  from  HotSpriugs,  Ark., 
April  26th,  to  take  charge  of  his  foreign  book  at  the  Haw- 
thorne meeting.  

Conde  will  be  shipped  to  San  Jose  in  a  few  days,  and  will 
be  given  a  long  rest.  Hathaway  will  be  gelded  and  turned 
out  until  next  fall.  

Chris  Smith  will  race  his  stable  at  St.  Louis  after  the  con- 
clusion of  the  Nashville  meeting,  remaining  there  until  Wash- 
ington Park  opens.  

Orphan  Girl,  the  dam  of  Helen  Nichols,  has  been  bred 
to  Longstreet,  and  the  dam  nf  Clifford  has  foaled  a  finely- 
formed  filly  to  Iroquois.  

Colossa,  dam  of  Inspector  B.,  Bella  B.  and  Getaway,  died 
last  week  at  Belle  Meade.  She  was  twenty-five  years  old, 
and  left  a  colt  by  Clarendon.. 

C.  J.  Leansit  of  Boston  has  purchased  of  Byron  McClel- 
land the  three-year-old  colt  Frog  Dance,  by  Pirate  of  Pen- 
zance— Leap  Frog,  for  $5,000. 

Bookmakers  John  Humphreys  and  Tom  Hurlick  entered 
the  list  of  thoroughbred-owners  yesterday  when  they  bought 
a  St.  Saviour  yearling  apiece. 


Frank  Leigh  rode  three  winners  and  a  third  at  Memphis 
on  the  23d  of  April.  The  winners  were  Wightman  (2  to  1), 
McLight  (6  to  1)  and  Chant  (7  to  5). 

Thomas  W.  Moobe  has  shipped  the  two  Greenback  year- 
ling fillies  he  brought  to  his  Hope  Glen  farm  near  Santa 
Barbara.  They  will  not  be  raced,  but  when  old  enough  will 
be  bred  to  Surinam.  

Sleight  of  Hand,  Parvenu's  brother,  is  credited  with  do- 
ing some  wonderful  work  at  a  mile  and  a  quarter  at  Mon- 
mouth race  track,  and  competent  judges  predict  that  he  will 
prove  a  crackerjack.         

Aleck  Covington  left  Sunday  morning  for  Chicago.  He 
stops  off  at  Kansas  City,  his  old  home,  for  a  few  days.  Boze- 
man  is  to  leave  Wednesday  for  Louisville,  Ky.,  where  he 
joins  the  Kentucky  Stable. 

Lord  Kosebery  has  secured  the  famous  jockey  Watts, 
who  won  the  Derby  on  the  Duke  of  Portland's  Donovan,  to 
ride  Ladas  in  the  Two  Thousand  Guineas  and  Derby.  The 
odds  against  Ladas  are  now  5  to  2. 


Mr.  W.  R.  Letcher,  of  Richmond,  Ky.,  has  been  sn- 
gaged  to  do  the  starting  at  the  Spring  meeting  in  Lexington, 
Ky.  

Clifford  bids  fair  to  be  absolutely  the  greatest  race  horse 
of  the  year  in  America.  April  25th  be  simply  galloped  away 
from  Yo  Tombien  in  the  Montgomery  Stakes,  nine  furlongs, 
winning  pulled  up  by  five  lengths  in  1:51}  over  a  slow  track. 
Clifford  carried  121  pounds,  Yo  Tambien  120. 

The  Australian  saddle  cloths  so  successfully  used  at  San 
Franeisco  all  winter  will  come  into  geueral  use  in  Chicago  at 
once.  Secretary  James  Howard,  of  Washington  Park,  has 
determined  to  use  them  at  his  meeting.  Ed.  Corrigan  was 
favourably  impressed  with  them  while  on  this  Coast  and  has 
also  determined  to  adopt  them.  A  full  set  is  being  prepared 
for  the  horses  at  the  Hawthorne  spring  meeting. 

Charles  Boots,  of  Elmwood  Stack  Farm,  sends  the  fol- 
lowing Brutus  two-year-olds  to  Gravesend  track  (Brooklyn) 
to-morrow  :  Vinctor,  whose  dam  is  Mollie  H.,  by  Wildidle; 
b  c  from  Bessie  (dam  of  Sir  Walter),  by  imp.  Hercules;  Roma, 
out  of  Beauty  (dam  of  Romulus),  by  imp.  Hercules;  Instal- 
lator,  from  Installation  (dam  of  Initiation),  by  Inauguration, 
and  Flammatrix,  whose  dam  is  Ariola  (dam  of  Torchbearer.) 


Jockey  J.  Smith,  while  riding  Post  Boy  in  a  race  at 
Madison  last  Friday,  was  crowded  against  the  rail  and  had 
his  leg  broken.  This  is  the  promising  light-weight  who  is 
engaged  to  ride  for  Pittsburg  Phil  this  season. 

Mr.  C.  C.  Pettus,  the  well-known  turf  writer  ("The 
Gleaner"),  has  been  offered  and  has  accepted  the  position  of 
associate  judge  with  Judge  Burke  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair 
Grounds  meeting.  Mr.  Pettus  will  leave  for  the  West  on  or 
about  May  1st.  

The  rider  of  Bellicoso  Wednesday,  Wilkins,  is  an  excellent 
addition  to  the  list  of  jockeys  if  his  ride  on  the  while  footed 
son  of  Peel  is  a  fair  sample  of  his  ability.  Wilkins  is  a 
shade  darker  than  his  elongated  namesake  or  Jasper  Madison, 
and  rode  a  fine  race.         

A  special  car-load  of  bookmakers  and  their  employes 
leaves  next  Sunday  for  Brooklyn.N.  Y.,via  Ogden,  Cheyenne 
and  Omaha.  Among  those  going  to  the  City  of  Churches  are 
Harry  Corbett  (brother  to  "  Jim  "),"  Overcoat  Jack  "  Atkins 
and  Jim  Duncan. 

The  first  crop  of  Hanover  youngsters  speaks  volumes  for 
I     that  famous  horse.    Handspun  is  certainly  the  best  youngster 
l     thus  far  shown.     Valkyrie,  a  black  filly  by  Hanover — Keep- 
sake, beat  a  fine  field  of  eleven  at  Memphis  on  the  21st  of 
April,  this  being  her  firsfc  appearance  in  public. 

The  forte  of  Sallie  Woodford,  Salvator's  daughter,  will 
probably  turn  out  to  be  going  a  distance  rather  than  sprint 
racing.  She  won  at  five  furlongs  Monday  with  something 
to  spare  in  what  looked  like  a  hard  finish.  The  time  was  not 
particularly  fast,  but  good  enough  under  the  conditions. 

The  following  racing  associations  have  agreed  upon  these 
dates:  Brooklyn,  May  15th  to  May  29th  ;  Morris  Park, 
May  30th  to  June  19th;  Coney  Island,  June  21st  to  July  7th; 
the  Suburban  Handicap,  June  21st ;  Great  Trial  Stakes,  July 
4th.  The  second  meetings  are  :  Coney  Island,  August  18th  ; 
Brooklyn,  September  8th  to  29th  ;  Morris  Park,  October  1st 
to  15th.  

A  prominent  lawyer  won  over  $4,000  on  Midget's  victory 
in  the  last  race.  He  was  rather  reluctant  to  play  the  mare, 
and  finally  the  owner  signed  a  written  agreement  to  the 
effect  that  if  the  lawyer  would  play  $2,000  and  Midget  lost  he 
might  take  either  Midget  or  Red  Light.  The  mare  won,  the 
owner  Baved  his  horses  and  the  lawyer  scooped  in  a  small 
fortune. — Chronicle.         

The  car  rate  to  Portland,  Or.,  for  horses  from  San  Fran- 
cisco is  6265  by  passenger  train ;  the  rate  by  freight  train 
just  one-half.  Then  from  San  Francisco  via  Ogden  to  any 
Montana  racing  point  in  the  circuit  the  car  rate  is  $440  each 
way  bv  passenger  train  and  by  freight  $440  for  the  round  trip. 
From  Portland,  Or.,  to  any  of  the  points  in  Montana  therate 
is  $170  per  car  for  the  round  trip. 


Don't  fail  to  secure  the  second  volume  of  the  San  Fran- 
cisco Turf  Guide,  showing  how  all  the  races  were  run  at  Bay 
District  track  from  October  28th  to  May  1st.  It  is  invalu- 
able to  form-players.  The  index  contains  the  color.sex,  sire, 
dam  and  owner  of  all  the  horses  that  participated  in  the 
local  races,  besides  much  ot^er  useful  information.  The 
book  will  be  on  sale  at  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  office, 
313  Bush  street,  in  a  few  days. 

Joseph  Murphy,  who  has  for  several  years  been  con- 
nected with  tbe  sporting  department  of  the  Chicago  Tribune, 
has  resigned  his  position  to  accept  the  associate  judgeship  at 
the  coming  St.  Louis  meeting.  The  management  of  the  fair 
grounds  are  to  be  congratulated  upon  their  wise  choice.  Mr. 
Murphy's  integrity  and  thorough- knowledge  of  the  game 
will  certainly  win  for  him  a  high  station  among  racing 
officials. 

The  first  Ormonde  youngster  that  ever  saw  the  light  of 
day  came  last  Monday  at  Mr.  Macdonough's  Menlo  Stock 
Farm.  It  was  from  the  brown  mare  imp.  Kissing  Crust,  by 
Sweet  Bread,  second  dam  Caress,  by  Young  Melbourne,  and  is 
a  beautiful  bay  colt  with  the  grand  head  of  his  unbeaten  sire. 
As  this  is  one  of  his  most  highly-prized  matrons,  the  interest 
in  the  first  son  of  Ormonde  in  America  can  better  be  imag- 
ined than  described.  

Dr.  C.  W.  Aby  will  sell  at  auction  at  Bay  District  track 
to-day  just  before  the  first  race  two  royally-bred 
youngsters,  a  foil  brother  and  sister.  They  are  by  imp.  Green- 
back, dam  Leverette  (dam  of  tbe  great  winners  Lonely,  Lloyd 
Daly  and  Larghetto),  by  Lever  (son  of  Lexington  and  the  im- 
mortal Levity,  by  imp.  Trustee).  KUlip  &  Co.  do  the  auc- 
tioneering. These  horses  are  gilt-edged  as  to  pedigree  and 
from  a  wonderful  producing  mare. 


Saturday  was  a  beautiful  day  at  Nashville,  Tenn.,  and  a 
good  track  attracted  a  large  crowd  to  Cumberland  Park.  Two 
favorites  and  fairly  well-backed  second  choices  won.  The 
time  in  all  the  events  was  exceedingly  good.  Rambler  was 
kicked  by  Pomfret  while  at  the  post  before  the  second  race, 
and  was  so  badly  hurt  that  he  was  withdrawn,  and  all  bets 
were  declared  off.  Six  furlongs — Shuttle  won,  Philopena 
second,  Fraulein  third.  Time,  1:14.  Mile  and  a  sixteenth — 
Jim  Hogg  won,  Pomfret  second,  Red  Cap  third.  Time,  1:48. 
Four  furlongs — Ashland  won,  Laureate  second,  Leona's  Last 
third.  Time,  0:49£.  Seven  furlongs — Ferrier  won,  Wahat- 
chiesecond,  Tom  Kelly  third.  Time,  1:26$.  Four  furlongs 
— Miss  Alice  won.  Irksome  second,  Lady  Pepper  third.  Time, 
0:49. 

The  gentlemen's  mile  race  on  the  flat  to-day  is  go- 
ing to  be  the  most  interesting  affair  of  the  whole  meeting, 
if  the  following  come  together  at  the  weights  mentioned: 
Dan  McCarty  (Blizzard)  166,  F.  Skinner  (Lodowic)  166, 
R.Norwood  (True  Briton)  166,  Talbot  Clifton  (Dr.  Ross) 
166,  H.  Forsland  (Gilead)  146,  Garrison  Ball  (Currency)  161, 
Harry  Slocum  (Hotspur)  166,  Bayliss  Crocker  (Green  Hock) 
161,  Dr.  C.  W.  Abv  (Pronto)  166,  ,:Duke"  Simpkios  (Silver 
Plate)  141,  and  A.  Gonzales  (Herald)  166.  Clifton  and  Dr. 
Aby  will  undoubtedly  be  a  few  pounds  overweight.  It  looks 
pretty  severe  on  Gilead,  a  three-year-old,  to  ask  him  to  carry 
146  pounds  over  a  mile  of  ground,  but  the  older  horses  should 
pack  their  burdens  all  right.  Silver  Plate,  at  141  pounds, 
will  never  do.     She  is  but  a  three-year-old,  too- 

Lucky  Baldwin's  string  of  fourteen  horses,  in  charge  of 
H.  McDaniel,  arrived  at  the  Downs  Friday  night,  says  last 
Monday's  Louisville  Commercial.  The  trip  was  accomplished 
over  the  Santa  Fe  route,  and  with  safety  to  all  the  horses. 
Usually  a  trip  of  2,400  miles  results  in  the  severe  sickness  or 
death  of  one  or  more  of  a  large  string,  but  the  Baldwin  horses 
came  through  in  tip-top  shape.  As  soon  as  tbe  weather  per- 
mits the  striog  will  be  put  down  to  good,  hard  work  in  prepa- 
ration for  the  coming  meeting.  Tbe  stable  is  as  follows: 
Santiago,  a,  by  Grinstead — Clara  D.;  Lady  Bess,  4,  by  Em-

Col.  Wm.  Edwards  sizes  up  what  constitutes  an  ideal 
roadster  in  this  fashion  :  "He  must  be  intelligent,  sound, 
gentle,  kind  and  fearlees  ;  weight  from  1,050  to  1,100  pounds, 
upheaded  and  capable  of  showing  a  2:45  gait  when  called 
upon,  with  good  knee  action.  He  must  haue  an  open,  springy 
gait.which  will  carry  him  ten  miles  an  hour  without  apparent 
effort.*  He  must  be  prompt  and  willing,  and  need  no  urging 
to  get  the  workout  of  him.  Above  all,  he  must  be  a  good 
walker.  The  fast  walking  movement  is  the  most  valuable 
gait  for  a  horse.  In  hilly  countries  nothing  is  more  pleasur- 
able to  the  roadite  than  the  relief  from  the  swift  trot  when 
his  horse  indulges  in  a  swinging,  rapid  walk  up  the  grades. 
The  horse  that  can  walk  rapidly  and  keep  it  up  over  hill  and 
valleys  brings  his  journey  to  an  end  quicker  than  if  be  jogs 
rapidly  and  walks  slowly.  The  slow,  droning,  creeping  walk- 
ing horse  is  a  positive  nuisance  on  the  road.  Remember, 
when  vou  have  an  idea  of  purchasing,  that  £  horse  with  a 
goose-walk  is  not  a  good  roadster. 


If  the  following  two  year-olds  come  together  in  the  Flash 
Stakes,  to  be  run  to-day,  there  will  be  a  race  worth 
going  hundreds  of  miles  to  see.  It  is  at  five  furlongs,  and  the 
entries  and  handicap  weights  areas  follows:  Piquante  122, 
Pat  Murphy  120,  Bellicoso  120,  Model  120,  Sea  Spray  119, 
Circe  119,  Rey  Alfonso  117,  Tiger  117,  Marigold  filly  113, 
Miss  Clav  filly  113,  Lady  Jane  113,  Captain  Skedance  113, 
Malo  Diablo  107,  Kai  Moi  104,  Foremost  103,  Monterey  103, 
Flashlight  102,  Terra  Nova  100,  St.  Cecilia  filly  100,  Tobey 
100,  Coquette  95,  Niagara  90.  At  tbe  weights  Bellicoso,  the 
Midlothian-Marigold  filly  and  Miss  Clay  filly  should  be  the 
fighters  at  the  finish,  and  Circe  might  be  well  up  also,  though 
she  has  not  run  the  distance  as  yet. 

Garrison,  the  jockey,  has  been  engaged  to  ride  for  Col. 
Rnppert  during  the  season  when  tbe  weight  will  permit. 
The  stable,  which  gives  every  promise  of  playing  a  promi- 
nent role  during  the  approaching  campaigu,  will  be  strong  in 
the  way  of  jockeys,  as  "  Johnny  "  Lamley,  one  of  the  very 
best  lads  in  the  country,  is  also  under  contract.  At  present 
Colonel  Ruppert's  colors  look  like  being  in  the  van  with  such 
a  brilliant  colt  as  Ajax  to  attend  to  the  stakes  for  the  older 
division,  while  in  the  matter  of  two-year-olds,  if  ever  a  colt 
had  the  appearace  of  being  a  real  "smasher,"  Gotham,  the 
'*  flaked  "  chestnut  by  Iroquois — Trade  Wind,  should  prove 
the  horse  of  tbe  year. 

Memphis  dispatch,  April  24  :  The  only  thing  of  note  was 
the  sale  of  J.  J.  Marklein's  two-year-old  bay  gelding  Leo 
Lake,  by  Leonatus — Lady  of  the  Lake,  to  Ed  Corrigan  for 
$6,000.  The  colt  was  beaten  in  his  first  start,  but  won  the 
next  time  out  the  Produce  Stakes.  He  was  beaten,  however, 
yesterday.  He  got  away  badly,  and  Mr.  Marklein  was  so  an- 
gry over  it  that,  after  he  had  imbibed  freely  of  Tennessee 
brewing,  he  went  around  the  city  last  night  to  slay  the  start- 
er. Before  the  sale  he  had  put  up  a  forfeit  to  run  Laureate, 
who  run  the  race  yesterday  for  $1,000.  Good  judges  say  the 
two-year-old  is  well  worth  the  money  Mr.  Corrigan  has 
paid. 

An  equine  duel  was  fought  last  Sunday  at  Holmdel  farm, 
N.  J.,  between  the  well-known  race  hprse  Cactus  and  Ramapo. 
Both  horses  are  owned  by  the  racing  firm  of  Gideon  &  Daly. 
Ramapo  won  many  races  last  year  and  was  rated  as  one  of  the 
best  three-year-olds  of  1893.  Cactus  was  a  fair  performer  at 
shorter  distances.  It  is  not  known  how  the  horses  got  at  each 
other,  but  the  fight  was  fiercely  and  viciously  waged  until  they 
were  separated  by  the  trainer  and  stablemen.  Both  horses 
are  stallions,  so  experienced  horsemen  who  have  witnessed 
battles  of  this  description  know  how  desperately  such  animals 
fight.  Both  Ramapo  and  Cactus  were  bitten  and  wounded 
badly,  according  to  reports  received  to-night.  Besides  each 
had  several  marks  of  the  other's  steel-shod  hoofs.  It  is  said 
that  the  horses  were  so  severely  injured  that  neither  of  them 
is  likely  to  see  the  post  until  late  in  the  season.  Ramapo  was 
entered  in  both  the  Brooklyn  and  Suburban  handicaps. 

Old  Jerome  Park  sprang  once  more  into  prominence  yes- 
terday, and  it  looks  as  if  after  one  more  meeting,  which 
should  be  productive  of  good  sport,  it  will  be  known  -no  more 
as  the  home  of  the  thoroughbred,  but  will  be  turned  over  to 
the  surveyor  and  the  builder.  Mr.  Philip  J.  Dwyer  yester- 
day morning  signed  a  lease  of  the  racecourse  for  the  season 
of  1894.  He  was  acting  on  behalf  of  the  New  Jersey  Jockey 
Club  which,  expatriated  from  the  swamps  aero,'*  the  river, 
has  sought  refuge  in  the  friendlier  State  of  New  York.  The 
intention  of  the  management  of  the  association  is  to  give  a 
Summer  meeting,  taking  dates  which  would  otherwise  have 
been  vacant  whichever  way  the  fixtures  were  arranged.  This, 
no  doubt,  accounts  for  the  delay  in  announcing  dates.  First 
it  was  said  that  they  would  be  made  public  last  week,  then  the 
occasion  was  deferred  till  Monday.  Nothing  was  arranged 
that  day,and  the  present  intention  is  to  come  to  a  decision  to- 
day.— Daily  America  and  Mercury  of  April  24. 

Colonel  W.  E.  Applegate  has  verified  the  report  that 
he  would  go  out  of  the  turf  business,  at  least  so  far  as  the 
ownership  of  a  racing  stable  is  concerned.  He  will  sell  every 
horse  on  his  string  at  Washington  Park.  Among  the  stake 
winuers  to  be  disposed  of  are  Prince  of  Darkness,  Oliver, 
Orinda,  Jack  Frey,  Black  Silk,  Lucasta  and  Pittsburg.  He 
has  also  about  fifteen  promising  two-year-old*.  Colonel 
Applegatesaid  he  would,  of  course,  keep  his  breeding  farm, 
near  Lexington,  where  he  has  Fonso  and  Hayden  Edwards, 
as  well  as  other  famous  ones.  As  to  his  interest  in  pool- 
rooms, which  are  said  to  be  great,  Colonel  Applegatesaid  he 
was  not  in  the  pool-room  business.  Colonel  Applegate  is  the 
proprietor  of  a  large  whisky  house  here  and  several  years 
ago  he  was  told  by  his  physician  that  if  he  wished  to  be 
cured  of  dyspepsia  he  must  find  some  occupation  that  would 
keep  bim  outdoors.  He  took  the  turf,  made  money,  was 
cured  of  dyspepsia,  has  gained  forty-five  pounds  in  weight, 
and  now  wants  to  quit  following  the  races  in  order  to  be  at 
home  with  his  family. — Horseman.

The  question  of  not  weighing  in  the  drivers  at  our 
trotting  meetings  is  agitating  the  miudfl  of  many  of  our 
heavyweight  r  linsmen.  Nothing  has  been  accomplished 
in  the  way  of  changing  the  old  rule,  however,  hence  it 
is  still  in  vogue,  just  as  it  has  been  since  Hiram  Wood- 
ruffs time. 


I'm.  interei  in  the  race  meeting  at  the  Hay  District 
track  continues  unabated.  Crowds  of  people  are  seen 
there  every  race  day  and  "  money  flows  like  water  "  in 
'he  betting  ring. 


Getting    Ready  for  the    Campaign. 


The  time  for  getting  in  readiness  for  the  three  month's 
battle  against  old  Father  Time — a  twelve  week's  struggle 
against  worthy  competitors  approaches.  Hopes  and 
fears  crowd  each  other  in  the  minds  of  every  horse  owner 
and  trainer  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  Every  day's  unre- 
mitting toil  in  the  sulky  and  in  the  preliminary  work  of 
preparing  the  trotter  and  pacer  will  count  from  this  time 
on.  Xot  a  moment  is  to  be  lost.  Every  day  brings  with 
it  joys  and  sorrows,  moments  of  brightness  and  of  gloom. 
Trials  for  short  distances  on  the  track  are  most  assur- 
ing at  times,  and  make  the  future  career  of  the  great 
colt  seem  almost  within  grasp,  then  again  the  youngster 
does  not  do  well  ;  he  appears  to  be  mixed  and  does  not 
stick  to  his  gait  ;  every  means  apparently  is  resorted  to 
until  patience  is  well  nigh  exhausted.  Then  it  is  that 
clouds  of  despair  drive  away  the  brightness  of  hope  and 
the  owner  becomes  discouraged.  His  entries  are  made, 
however,  and  by  giving  the  youngster  a  rest  and  "taking 
hold  "  of  him  differently,  a  change  for  the  better  appears. 
His  shoeing  may  have  been  wrong,  the  harness  may  not 
have  fitted  him  evenly,  his  teeth  might  have  been 
aching  or  his  feed  did  not  agree  with  him  ;  these,  and 
many  other  causes,  may  have  affected  the  youngster's 
way  of  going  the  day  he  acted  so  badly.  Atlast,all  these 
drawbacks  are  overcome  by  perseverance  and  patience  ; 
and  with  these  must  also  be  combined  intelli- 
gence and  a  desire  to  do  the  very  best  possible  to 
get  a  horse  in  condition  for  a  race.  The  trainer  must 
understand  the  nature  of  the  animal  he  is  handling,  for 
the  nearer  he  comes  to  understanding  that  nature  the 
greater  his  success  will  be. 

To  have  a  horse  ready  for  a  hard  campaign  takes  time 
and  untiring  labor.  To  hurry  a  colt  in  a  trial  too  fast 
against  the  watch  when  the  animal  is  not  sufficiently 
hardened  for  the  effort  will,  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten, 
destroy  all  his  chances  of  getting  a  respectable  place 
in  his  races. 

Just  before  going  on  the  campaign,  if  the  youngster 
shows  no  signs  of  going  backward,  and  relishes  his  work 
as  well  as  his  feed,  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  the 
trainer  should  have  sufficient  clothing,  boots  and  harness 
as  well  as  extra  check  reins  and  a  set  or  two  of  extra 
shoes.  Besides  these,  he  should  have  a  little  medicine 
and  tool  chest  combined,  in  which  he  can  carry  colic 
medicine,  ointments,  oils,  antiseptic  cotton,  extra  band- 
ages, needles,  thread,  foot  pick,  rasps,  nippers,  hammer, 
nails  and  such  other  articles  as  he  may  deem  necessary 
when  Tar  away  from  heme. 

The  first  thing  to  be  done  in  going  to  a  new  track  is 
to  see  that  the  stall  is  properly  cleaned  ;  that  all  danger- 
ous nails  are  removed  and  broken  boards  replaced  by 
new  ones.  Also  to  see  that  there  is  a  proper  tempera- 
ture in  the  stalls ;  a  thermometer  for  this  purpose  should 
form  part  of  every  horseman's  outfit.  The  water  buckets 
should  be  well  cleaned,  and  before  retiring  everything 
should  be  placed  in  readiness  to  subdue  any  fires  that 
might  break  out  during  the  night.  No  smoking  should 
be  allowed  in  the  stalls.  This  rule  should  be  rigidly 
enforced  ;  and  a  prompt  dismissal   follow  its  violation. 

These,  and  many  other  things,  will  engross  the  atten- 
tion of  horsemen  until  the  race  meeting  commences  in 
earnest,  and  with  the  large  purses  offered  this  year,  horse- 
men should  endeavor  to  do  their  best  to  have  their  horses 
fit  and  well  to  contest  for  every  inch  in  every  heat  they 
start  in  when  the  bell  rings.  The  man  who  waits  for 
the  races  to  finish  his  horse's  education  is  generally 
greeted  by  the  red  flag  as  he  is  swallowing  the  dust  of 
the  leaders  on  the  homestretch. 


Petaluma's   Great    Meeting. 


The  enterprise  of  the  directors  of  the  Petaluma  Fair 
is  to  be  commeuded.  Their  deBire  to  have  their  splendid 
association  rank  with  the  very  first  in  the  line  of  pro- 
gression, their  liberality  in  offering  purses  that  will  com- 
pare very  favorably  with  all  others  :  and  the  an- 
nouncement that  their  track  will  be  better  this 
year  than  ever,  are  considerations  which  our  horsemen 
should  not  overlook. 

Every  one  enjoys  attending  the  Petaluma  Fair.  Its 
splendid  pavilion,  race  track  and  appointments  are  cen- 
tered in  one  of  the  loveliest  valleys  in  this  great  State. 
The  people  are  all  comfortable  and  live  to  enjoy  the  ben- 
efits and  blessings  of f his  life  in  their  own  quiet  and  un- 
obtrusive way.  To  attend  the  annual  fair  is  one  of  the 
events  every  man,  woman  and  child  anticipates  with 
pleasure.  The  races,  the  band  of  music,  the  great  stock 
parade,  and  the  dance  in  the  evening  at  the  pavilion,  give 
the  fair  a  more  striking  resemblance  to  the  State  Fair 
than  any  other  in  California. 


While  drouth  has  left  its  parched  and  decaying  effects 
upon  the  face  of  the  country  along  the  winding  San 
Joaquin,  and  in  the  mountains,  hills  and  valleys  south  of 
Monterey,  bounteous  Nature  has  not  forgotten  Sonoma, 
Marin  or  any  of  the  counties  bordering  San  Francisco 
Bay.  Fruit  trees  are  loaded  with  blossoms,  vines  are 
budding  strong  in  their  emerald  verdure,  hillsides,  val- 
leys and  meadows  are  clothed  with  growing  crops  of 
grain,  and  cattle  and  horses  are  quietly  feeding  knee  deep 
in  luxuriant  pastures, and  with  the  prospects  of  good  prices 
for  fruit  and  grain  and  an  increase  in  the  value  of  live 
stock  it  must  be  encouraging  to  all  who  live  in  this  thriv- 
ing district. 

The  great  fair  to  be  given  there  this  year  bids  fair  to 
surpass  any  heretofore  held.  The  large  sum  of  $17,200 
is  to  be  given  iu  stakes  and  purses,  and  the  average  to 
be  given  for  the  races  is  SI, 000,  surely  a  sum  sufficient 
to  increase  the  interest  in  racing  and  bring  out  a  splen- 
did list  of  entries.  Horsemen  should  lose  no  time  in 
making  those  entries  for  they  are  advertised  to  close 
May  loth,  just  one  week  from  next  Tuesday.  All 
who  intend  to  make  money  with  their  trotters  and  pac- 
ers cannot  afford  to  miss  the  Petaluma  Fair.  A  word  to 
attract  their  attention  to  the  splendid  advertisement  we 
deem  of  sufficient  import  to  cause  them  to  send  lor  ap- 
plication blanks  at  once  to  this  office. 


Opportunities  for  Horsemen. 

The  value  of  the  blood  of  George  Wilkes  is  acknowl- 
edged by  every  horseman  in  America  and  Europe  to-day, 
and  the  fact  that  his  greatest  son,  Guy  Wilkes,  is  found- 
ing a  family  that  lor  sounlness,  individuality,  speed, 
gameness  and  good  sense  is  second  to  no  other  in  the 
world,  is  something  in  which  every  Californian  can  take 
pride. 

In  California,  we  are  peculiarly  fortunate  in  having 
such  a  horse  as  Guy  Wilkes,  and  he  is  also  fortunate  in 
having  such  an  owner,  for  without  a  man  of  progressive 
ideas  to  advance  the  interests  of  his  stock,  no  matter 
how  well  bred  or  how  excellent  they  may  individually 
be,  they  will  soon  become  almost  worthless.  As  Leland 
Stanford  has  been  to  the  Electioneer  family,  Monroe 
Salisbury  to  the  descendants  of  Director,  so  has  Wni. 
Corbitt  championed  the  cause  aui  proved  the  merits  of 
the  Guy  Wilkes'  family  in  hard-fought  races  on  the  lead- 
ing tracks  of  America,  and  is  still  in  the  field  with  a 
number  of  youngsters  heavily  engaged  in  stakes  that 
are  ready  to  battle  for  the  prizes  offered. 

Mr.  Corbitt  has  never  held  a  sale  of  yearlings  on  this 
Coast  that  compared  in  any  way  with  the  one  adver- 
tised for  the  22d  of  this  monlh.  Sons  and  daughters  of 
Guy  Wilkes,  Sable  Wilkes,  Eegal  Wilkes  and  Wil  Direct 
will  be  sold  that  are  eligible  to  be  taken  in  hand  now, 
and  with  a  little  training,  will  get  low  records.  They 
are  handsome,  well-formed  and  perfect  in  every  way, 
and  will  be  shown  the  day  of  sale  in  a  manner  to  suit  the 
most  critical.  Besides  these,  there  are  two  royally-bred 
stallions  and  a  number  of  choicely-bred  broodmares  with 
foals  at  foot  or  stinted  to  the  stallions  on  the   farm. 

This  sale  will  be  well  worth  attending,  tor  an  oppor- 
tunity like  this  to  get  Wilkes  blood  that  traces  to  this 
great  sire  through  his  illustrious  sons,  may  never  occur 
again. 


Messrs.  J.  A.  McKerron  and  L.  A.  Clawson  of  this 
city  have  been  granted  a  patent  for  a  safety  device  to 
prevent  bicycle  sulkies  from  being  overturned  (as  they 
have  heretofore  been),  by  the  slipping  of  the  wheels  and 
body  of  the  sulky  close  under  the  horse's  hocks  while 
rearing.  Several  fatal  accidents  occurred  from  this  cause 
last  year,  but  with  the  new  and  simple  attachment  in- 
vented by  these  gentlemen  all  danger  is  overcome. 
When  its  workings  are  once  seen,  every  driver  in  the 
land  will  demand  that  it  be  placed  on  the  sulkies  they 
ride  in. 


The  exodus  of  trainers  to  the  East  this  year  will  in- 
clude Andy  McDowell,  Lee  Shaner,  James  Dustin  and 
Thos.  Keating  a  quartette  of  drivers  well  known  on  our 
California  Circuit.  They  are  taking  a  number  of  horses 
with  them  that  would  be  extremely  dangerous  in  the 
fast  classes  here  and  they  may  *>e  in  those  in  the  East. 
We  wish  these  Kuights  of  the  Sulky  success,  and  hope 
to  see  them  back  on  the  coast  before  the  California  Cir- 
cuit ends. 


Do  not  forget  the  fact  that  to  meet  with  success  and 
to  have  a  plethoric  bank  account  while  in  the  horse 
business  it  is  absolutely  necessary  that  you  make  entries 
in  all  the  meetings  on  the  California  circuit.  Help  the 
associations  and  they  will  help  you.

Entries  for  the  Summer  Meeting. 
The  list  of  entries  received  by  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
iing  Horse  Breeders  Association  are  published  in  another 
column,  and  no  better  evidence  than  it  is  required  that 
the  interest  in  the  light  harness  racing  on  this  Coast  is 
stronger  than  it  has  ever  been.  The  slower  classes,  those 
which  appeal  most  strongly  to  the  owners  of  colts  and 
fillies  that  are  being  prepared  to  go  still  faster  than  the 
gait  they  have  shown,  filled  exceedingly  well.  The  faster 
classes,  those  in  which  we  are  accus'.omed  to  look  for 
exciting  and  close  finishes  between  the  freefor-allers, 
did  not  fill  as  well  as  the  directors  were  led  to  believe 
they  would.  The  reason  is  quite  plain.  There  are  at 
least  four  prominent  srables  to  be  away  from  the  Pacific 
Coast  during  the  time  the  summer  meeting  is  in  progress 
and  in  each  of  these  stables  are  candidates  for  free-for- 
all  honors  at  both  gaits  ;  besides  these,  there  are  others 
that  would  go  far  toward  swelling  the  lists  of  the  2:14, 
and  other  fast  classes  at  their  respective  gaits. 
With  these  out  of  the  way  there  should  be  no  hesitancy 
on  the  part  of  horse  owners  on  this  Coast  making  liberal 
entries  since  the  purses  have  re-opened,  even  if  the 
terms  are  different.  The  large  purses  have  not  been  de- 
creased and  with  fewer  contestants  in  every  field,  the 
chances  for  getting  a  portion  of  the  money  are  far 
brighter  than  they  would  otherwise  be.  Every 
horse  owner  should  endeavor  to  get  his  horses  in  condi- 
tion, so  that  by  the  first  of  next  June,  when  entries  will 
close,  there  will  be  no  hesitancy  about  making  entries. 
We  want  to  see  every  event  on  the  programme  filled, 
and  if  the  summer  meeting  is  what  it  is  hoped  it  will  be, 
the  horsemen  on  this  Coast  may  well  be  proud  of  the 
work  accomplished. 

Equestrian  Festival. 

It  is  proposed  to  hold  a  grand  international  equestrian 
festival  at  the  Recreation  Grounds  of  the  Midwinter  Fair 
at  Golden  Gate  Park  under  the  auspices  of  the  Executive 
Committee  of  the  California  Midwinter  Exposition.  The 
date  selected  is  the  Fourth  of  July. 

It  is  the  aim  of  the  management  to  make  it  the  principal 
feature  of  the  Fair  at  that  time,  and  a  first-class  enter- 
tainment in  every  respect,  similar  to  the  exhibitions  of 
the  kind  that  have  been  so  popular  and  fashionable  in 
Chicago.  ISTew  York  and  Europe,  will  be  given. 

It  will  consist  of  a  fine  exhibit  of  blooded  stock,  thor- 
oughbreds, standard-breds,  hackneys,  carriage  horses, 
coach  horses,  etc.,  in  addition  to  a  grand  equestrian 
tournament  of  a  varied  nature,  consisting  of  fancy  riding 
and  driving,  hurdle  jumping,  polo  games,  etc.,  in  which 
members  of  San  Francisco's  best  society  and  the  resident 
cavalry  troop  that  participated  at  the  Circus  Maximus 
will  be  asked  to  take  part. 

California  leads  in  breeding  the  finest  horses  in  the 
world,  and  it  is  particularly  appropriate  that  an  exhibi- 
tion of  this  kind  should  be  given  during  the  Fair  now 
in  progress,  and  that  it  should  meet  with  the  support  of 
prominent  Californians. 

His  Excellency,  Governor  H.  H.  Markham,  has  been 
requested  to  grant  his  patronage  to  the  interesting  event, 
and  His  Honor,  Mayor  L.  R.  EUert's  consent  to  act  as 
Honorary  President  has  been  solicited.  An  honorary 
committee,  a  general  committee  and  a  local  committee 
are  to  be  organized  among  the  leading  citizens  of  the  dif- 
ferent counties  in  this  State.  From  present  indications 
it  promises  to  be  a  great  success. 


A    Great    Sales    Mart. 


There  is  a  sermon  in  the  advertisement  of  the  Amer- 
ican Horse  Exchange  advertisement  which  appears  in 
our  columns  this  week.  Wm.  Easton,  the  well-known 
auctioneer,  has  achieved  a  world-wide  reputation  in  his 
calling,  and  in  the  sales  of  thoroughbreds  over  which  he 
will  preside  during  this  month  and  the  month  of  June, 
rare  opportunities  will  be  offered  horsemen  to  get  first- 
class  stock.  Many  great  horses  will  make  their  first  ap- 
pearance at  this  sale,  and  in  a  year  or  two  their  names 
as  stake  winners  will  be  heralded  from  the  Atlantic  to 
the  Pacific,  and  from  Canada  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 
The  growth  of  the  industry  of  breeding  thoroughbreds 
is  in  its  infancy  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  the  present 
long  meeting  at  the  Bay  District  track  has  furnished 
everyone  in  attendance  with  an  idea  of  what  constitutes 
a  racehorse.  Commissions  can  be  forwarded  to  Mr. 
Easton  to  purchase  animals  that  will  come  up  to  the  re- 
quirements of  buyers  in  pedigree  and  form,  aod  these 
commissions  will  be  faithfully  executed. 

"  What  rare  bargains  will  be  offered  at  these  sales  !  " 
will  be  the  exclamation  of  all  who  carefully  scan  the 
catalogues.     And  if  the  wish  is  father  to  the  deed  the 


desire  to  purchase  a  favorite'will  be  followed  by  the  act. 
Representatives  of  the  most  famous  sires  and  dams  in 
America  and  England  will  be  sold  without  reserve.  Send 
at  once  for  catalogues  to  Mr.  Wm.  Easton,  Broadway  and 
50th  streets,  New  York. 


The  St.  Louis  Fair. 


As  there  are  a  number  of  horsemen  who  intend  leav- 
ing the  Bay  District  Track  for  the  East  within  the  next 
week  it  is  of  vital  importance  that  they  should  make  en- 
tries -in  all  the  leading  events  to  be  raced  there. 
The  St.  Louis  Association  advertises  nine  splendid  stake 
races  in  this  issue,  and  as  entries  for  them  will  close 
May  15th,  there  is  no  time  to  be  lost  by  owners  in  hav- 
ing their  entries  sent  in.  The  track  at  the  St.  Louis 
Fair  Grounds  is  second  to  no  other  in  the  United  States, 
and  the  amounts  offered  are  of  a  size  sufficient  to  well 
repay  all  who  win  first,  second  or  third  places.  It  is  a 
plain  business  proposition  and  should  be  entertained 
by  every  ow  ner  of  a  good  horse  at  the  Bay  District  Track 
as  well  as  those  in  Oregon,  Washiiigton,  Nevada  and 
Montana.  The  stakes  range  from  $5,000  to  §2,000  and 
the  races  are  to  take  place  from  the  24th  of  May  to  the 
22d  of  June.  Besides  these  stake  events  there  will  be 
other  races  at  which  horsemen  will  have  opportunities 
for  racing  every  day  of  the  meeting.  Last  year  over 
$105,000  was  distributed  among  the  horsemen  at  the  fair 
grounds,  and  this  year  a  still  larger  amount  will  be  dis- 
bursed. See  the  advertisement  and  send  in  your  entries 
at  once,  for  they  will  close  May  15th. 


Racing   at    Anaconda    and    Butte. 


Number  2  of  the  San  Francisco  Turf  Guide  has  been 
issued  and  is  now  for  sale.  It  is  the  most  complete  book 
of  reference  of  its  kind  ever  issued  in  the  United  States. 
It  is  not  only  a  compendium  of  all  the  form  cards,  but  it 
also  contains  an  alphabetical  index,  color  and  sex,  pedi- 
gree and  age  of  every  horse  that  started  at  the  meeting 
at  the  Bay  District  track,  from  the  2Sth  of  October  till 
May  1st,  and  names  of  owners  and  riders.  No  race-goer 
can  afford  to  be  without  it.  The  price  i3  only  $1,  and 
as  a  work  of  reference  it  is  indispensable  to  all  lovers  of 
a  race  horse.  It  is  published  by  F.  C.  Bridge  &  Co.,  313 
Bush  street.  Copies  can  be  had  at  this  office,  or  at  the 
newstands. 


We  understand  that  entry  blanks  for  the  great  $5,000 
Guaranteed  Stake  of  the  State  Agricultural  Society  will 
be  mailed  early  next  week  to  the  breeders  of  the  Pacific 
Coast.  Should  any,  by  error,  be  overlooked,  they  will 
be  speedily  supplied  upon  application  by  postal  card, 
addressed  to  Edwin  F.  Smith,  Secretary,  at  Sacramento, 
Cal.  Any  owner  having  a  well-bred  foal  this  season 
should  take  this  cheap  chance  of  adding  great  value  to 
it  by  entering  in  this  liberal  stake. 


"Liste>*  to  my  tale  of  woe."  Samuel  Gamble  has 
again  "  put  his  foot  in  it."  His  endeavors  to  get  notoriety 
are  to  be  pitied.  His  article  on  the  Stamboul  record  of 
2:07i  is  the  latest.  How  he  is  going  to  gain  anything 
by  such  an  epistle  as  he  has  written  to  the  Eastern 
turf  journals  is  beyond  the  comprehension  of  his  warmest 
friends. 


The  Corbitt  Sale. 


Catalogues  are  ready  for  distribution  for  the  ap- 
proaching sale,  aod  from  the  active  demaod  for  them  and  the 
interest  evinced  among  breeders  and  trainers  to  get  some  of 
the  representatives  of  the  Guy  Wilkes  family,  the  sale  promis- 
es to  be  a  success.  Never  in  the  history  or  this  farm  has  a 
sale  of  its  importance  teen  held  in  California.  There  are  no 
culls  to  be  offered.  All  who  are  seeking  first-class,  perfectly 
formed  individuals,  that  have  not  only  fashionable  breeding 
to  back  them  up,  but  speed  as  well,  should  attend  this  sale. 
There  are  mares  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15';  Failis,  2:22;  Arthur- 
ton;  Le  Grande;  The  Moor;  Winthrop  ;  Del  Sur,  2:24; 
Almont34  ;  Buccaneer;  Irvington  and  Echo, and  colts  and 
fillies  by  Gnv  Wilkes,  2:15}  ;  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18;  Rupee, 
2:11  ;  Regal  Wilkes,  2:11|  and  Wil  Direct.  In  the  lot  are 
stallions  fit  to  take  right  in  hand  and  go  through  the  circuit 
with.  There  are  some  fine  gelding  also  that  will  be  a 
credit  to  any  gentleman's  stable  in  the  land.  Mr.  Corbitt  will 
let  everything  go  for  what  it  will  bring,  and  such 
an  opportunity  to  get  the  very  choicest  young  stock  and  the 
greatest  of  broodmares,  may  never  occur  again  in  California. 
Send  us  your  address  and  we  will  forward  you  catelogues  at 
once.  A  lunch  will  be  served  on  the  grounds  and  Mr.  Cor- 
bett  has  made  arrangements  with  the  railroad  people  by 
which  all  morning  and  afternoon  trains  will  stop  at  the  farm. 
Thesale  will  take  place  May  22d,  just  two  weeks  from  next 
Tuesday,  so  make  arrangements  to  attend. 


"Oka  Wilkes,  2:15,  has  a  brother"  was  the  significant 
information  we  received  last  Monday  from  a  gentleman  who 
had  visited  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm,  "and  you  might  add 
that  the  mother  and  son  are  doing  as  well  as  can  be  expected," 
he  added,  as  he  turned  around  the  corner  to  tell  the  news 
to  some  one  else-  It  is  glad  news,  for  Ellen  Mayhew,  the 
dam,  has  not  had  a  colt  or  filly  since  18;'0,  and  grave  fears 
were  entertained  that  she  would  never  breed,  but  now  the 
spell  is  broken  and  once  more  she  will  take  her  place  among 
the  great  broodmares  on  this  celebrated  farm.

Alpha  Medium  (dam  of  Katie  S.,2:19}  and  Eetsy  Trot- 
wood,  dam  of  Bet  Madison,  2,  2:30),  was  sold  to  Frank  J. 
Burke  at  the  closing  out  sale  of  Col.  H.  I.  Thornton's  horses. 
As  she  had  been  deemed  barren  by  all  who  had 
watched  her  keenly,  many  predicted  that  Mr.  Burke  would 
n  t  gel  her  with  foal  to  Eros,  but  last  week  she  presented  the 
owner  of  La  Siesta  Stock  Farm  with  a  beautiful  well-formed 
filly,  and  Mr.  Burke  believes  the  old  mare  will  have  many 
more  just  like  her.  Alpha  Medium  was  brought  to  Califor- 
nia from  Philadelphia  by  one  of  the  famous  show  people 
known  by  the  name  of  Forepangh  and  was  sold  here  Her 
pedigree  was  given  as  follows:  Alpha  Medium,  by  HaDpy 
Medium.  All  further  trace  has  been  lost.  Mr.  Reis,  who 
owned  her,  tried  in  every  way  to  get  word  to  Mr.  Forepaugb, 
but  failed.  Perhaps  some  one  in  Philadelphia  may  remem- 
ber the  mare. 

When  in  want  of  an  elegant  luncheon  or  desirous  of  meet- 
ing some  prominent  horseman  call  on  those  all-around  good 
fellows,  Barada  and  Sanolea.  They  have  just  taken  the 
"Mills"  at  141  Montgomery  street,  and  are  running  it  in 
strictly  first-class  style.  Kothlng  but  the  purest  and  best 
will  be  dispensed  over  the  bar,  and  the  lunch  provided  is  the 
best  in  the  city.  Mr.  Barada  is  well  known  as  the  former 
proprietor  of  the  California  Hotel  Bar.  They  have  a  bullet- 
in board  with  all  the  latest  racing  information.  Call  on 
them. 

Dan  Misneb  will  be  seen  in  the  sulky  this  year  after  an 
absence  of  over  a  year.  He  has  in  bis  stable  at  tbePetaluma 
track  the  great  pacer  Plunkelt,  2:13],  and  Rayanetta,  a  An- 
teeo  mare.  Both  of  these  belong  to  Robert  Brown  of  Petalu- 
ma.  Then  hehas  a  Secretary  filly  belonging  to  M.  O'Reilly, 
which  is  the  making  of  a  very  fast  mare.  Besides  these,  Dan 
has  several  youngsters  that  are  receiving  their  first  lessons  to 
sulky.  

Robert  S.  Brown  of  Petaluma  sold  to  A.Page  Brown, 
the  well-known  architect,  the  fine  chestnut  mare  Nellie  K., 
by  Dawn,  2:18|,  dam  by  Brown's  McClellan.  Nellie  K.  is  one 
of  the  handsomest  and  purest-gaited  roadsters  ever  bred  in 
Sonoma  County,  and  as  she  can  pull  a  bug^y  close  to  2:40  and 
is  not  afraid  of  anything,  will  make  a  most  desirable  driving 
animal  for  her  new  owner,  who  resides  at  Burlingame. 

Pbof.  E.  P.  Heald  recently  sold  to  John  Macdonnell  of 
this  city  a  very  handsome  team  of  roadsters.  One  is  called 
Bird  Loeher,  the  other  Bettina.  They  are  sisters  to  that 
game  trotting  mare  Molly  Patton,  2:2SA,  and,  like  all  the 
Whippletons,  are  stylish,  pure-gaited,  free  drivers  and 
of  good  size.  We  congratulate  Mr.  Macdonnell  on  his  pur- 
chase. 

Lampliuhter  will  not  face  the  starter  in  the  Brooklyn 
handicap.  The  great  horse  is  on  the  shelf  and  is  not  [likely 
to  race  until  later  in  theseason.  Mr.  Walbaum  said  yester- 
day :  "  I  will  not  start  Lamplighter  and  1  want  every  body  to 
know  it,  as  I  do  not  want  admirers  of  the  horse  to  lose  their 
money  by  betting  on  him  for  a  race.  It  is  a  pity  he  went 
wrong,  but  it  is  one  of  the  chances  men  take  in  racing." 

Wm.  Bihler  of  Lakeville  has  four  promising  trotters 
which  he  sent  to  the  Petaluma  track  in  charge  of  Wm.  Mur- 
phvyesterday.  Mr.  Bihler  was  one  of  the  old-time  importers 
of  fioe  horses  and  his  name  has  always  been  identified  with 
the  horse  industry  of  Sonoma  County. 

Wm.  Boyd  who  shod  Marcus  Daly's  fleet-footed  horses  the 
past  two  seasons  has  this  year  oeen  engaged  at  a  large  salary 
to  shoe  Monroe  Salisbury's  striog.  Mr.  Boyd  arrived  in 
Pleasanton  Wednesday. 


I.  De  Tubk's  string  of  eight  horses  in  charge  of  George 
Locke  came  from  Santa  Rosa  to  the  Petaluma  track  last 
Thursday.

The  California  Wing  Shooting  Club  will  hold  their  regular 
monthly  shoot  on  Sunday.  May  6,  at  Oakland  Race  Track. 
Take  9  o'clock  boat.        

A.  Webb,  of  the  Empire  Gun  Club,  who  won  the  $80  L. 
C.  dmith  Hummerless  at  the  Midwinter  Tournament,  used  a 
Smith  a*,  the  tournament. 


There  will  be  both  live  birds  and  maoimate  target  shoot- 
ing at  the  X.  S.  Ci.  W.  picDic  at  Wheatland  on  the  11th  of 
this  month.  One  feature  of  the  shoot  will  be  a  Prize  Class 
match,  similar  to  the  one  conducted  at  the  Midwinter  Fair 
on  Sunday  last.     J.  H.  Durst  will  conduct  the  same. 

The  United  States  Smokeless  Powder  Co.  have  greatly  im- 
proved their  new  smokeless  powder.  The  offensive  odor  has 
been  entirely  done  away  with,  making  it  much  pleasanter  to 
shoot.  The  company  is  constantly  improving  the  powder, 
and  without  question  it  is  destiued  to  become  one  of  the  most 
popular  of  all  the  smokeless  compounds. 

Harvey  McMurchy,  the  well-known  representative  of  Lhe 
Hunter  Arms  Co.,  left  this  city  for  Portland  and  the  North 
on  Wednesday  evening  lust.  The  boys  look  forward  with 
pleasure  to  his  coming,  and  regret  his  going,  for  a  more  popu- 
lar sportsman  cannot  be  found.  He  reports  a  very  successful 
trip,  and  his  friends  all  wish  him  the  same  success  in  the 
North.  

The  Midwinter  Fair  Blue  Rock  Tournament  was  a  decided 
success.  The  method  of  awarding  the  prizes  in  the  prize 
match  (classshooting)  seems  to  have  "taken  on"  wonderfully. 
The  sportsmen  who  took  part  in  the  match  went  home  with 
the  feeling  that  even  if  they  did  not  win,  they  certainly  had  a 
chance.  As  long  as  cl^ss  shooting  governs  these  matches, 
the  experts  will  drop  for  place,  but  this  custom  should  be 
heartily  condemned. 

Inanimate  target  shooting  is  fairly  booming.  The  Lincoln 
Gun  Club  have  a  full  membership;  the  Empire  Gun  Club 
some  fifty  odd  members;  the  Alameda  County  Sportsman's 
Association  nearly  eighty  members;  the  Nimrod  Gun  Club 
has  its  full  quota;  the  Petaluma  Trap  and  Gun  Club,  the 
Stockton,  the  Pelican,  the  Redwood  City,  the  D'muba  and 
many  others  that  we  cannot  recall  are  in  a  flourishing  condi- 
tion, and  new  clubs  are  springing  up  every  week.  The  low 
price  of  loaded  fihells  promises  to  be  still  lower  very  shortly. 
Blue  rocks  are  at  rock-bottom  rates,  and  all  in  all,  everything 
favors  the  most  prosperous  season  for  blue  rock  shooting  ever 
known  in  California. 

A  Tournament  Every  Week. 


On  and  after  May  13th  there  will  be  a  blue  rock  tourna- 
ment at  Oakland  Race  Track  every  Sunday  at  1  r.  M.  In 
other  word*,  a  prize  shoot.  The  match  will  be  shot  at  20 
birds  $1  entrance,  SQUAD  and  CLASS  shooting.  The 
prizes  will  be  regulated  by  the  number  of  entries,  as  follows  : 
Ten  entries  four  prizes  ;  fifteen  entries,  six  prizes;  twenty 
entries,  seven  prizes;  twenty-five  entries,  eight  prizes;  thirty 
entries,  ten  prises. 

The  object  of  these  matches  is  to  encourage  the  poorer 
shots  and  tempi  them  to  practice  and  improve  their  shooting. 
The  object  i**s  very  laudable  one  and  should  prove  of  great 
benefit  to  both  the  members  of  organized  clubs  and  to  the 
unattached  shooters.     All  are  welcome.

The  blue  rock  tournament  held  at  the  Midwinter  Interna- 
tional Exposition  grounds  on  April  28  and  29  was,  as  pre- 
dicted, a  grand  success.  Over  150  shooters  from  all  parts  of 
the  State  participated  in  the  various  events.  There  was  not 
the  slightest  hitch  in  the  proceedings  with  the  single  excep- 
tion, that  the  large  entry  in  the  team  match  compelled  the 
postponement  of  Ihesame  uutil  Sunday  morning,at  which  time 
most  of  the  teams  that  had  failed  to  complete  their  scores 
were  absent  and  consequently  were  obliged  to  withdraw.  The 
officials  of  the  tournament  were:  Referee,  Edgar  Forster; 
Judges,  A.  W.  Allen  and  J.\  C.  Baker ;  scorers,  A.  Russell 
Crowell  and  C.  W.  Bergans. 

APRIL  28. 

The  first  event  of  the  tournament  was  the  match  for  the 
beautiful  gold  medal  presented  by  the  United  States  Smoke- 
less Powder  Co.  Conditions,  10  birds,  squad  shooting,  price 
of  entrance  cost  of  birds.  U.  S.  Smokeless  shells  were  pro- 
vided withoutcost  and  used  exclusively  in  this  match.  There 
were  56  entries  and  to  the  surprise  of  all  only  one  man  broke 
10  straight,  one  man  broko  9  and  6  tied  on  8. 

Mr.  Thurston,  representing  the  company,  kindly  donated 
an  extra  prize  of  $10  as  third  money.  The  new  powder  gave 
a  very  favorable  impression  to  the  shooters  and  is  unques- 
tionably destined  to  become  the  popular  powder  of  this  coast. 
The  extremely  poor  average  of  the  scores  must  be  laid  to  the 
poor  background  and  the  extremely  close  pattern  of  the  new 
shells.  The  powder  is  very  quick  and  in  pattern  and  pene- 
tration can  scarcely  be  excelled. 

Mr.  C.  Cate,  of  the  Lincoln  (jun  Club,  won  the  medal  wilh 
a  clean  score  of  10.  Wm.  Carnduff.of  the  Redwood  City  Gun 
Club,  won  second  prize,  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
" Fox,"  Shiell,  Allison,  Olsen,  Karney  and  Merrill  tied  for 
third  prize,  $10,  with  8  each.  In  the  shoot  off  Merrill,  of 
Stockton,  won  with  5  straight.    The  score:

The  interest  in  inanimate  target  shooting  is  increasing 
;  very  rapidly.     The  latest  movement  is  the  organization  of  a 

new  club  to  be  called  the  Electric  Gun  Club.  Thirty  shoot- 
!  ers have  already  signified  their  intention  of  joingthe  club  and 

without  question  the  membership  will  be  very  large.  The 
I  club  will  shoot  at  Clabrough,  Golcher  &Co.'s  grounds  at  the 

Oakland  Race  Track.   The  dues  will  be  fifty  cents  per  month.

Condemned  by  the  Sportsmen. 

The  proposed  new  State  organization,  having  for  its  osten- 
sible objects  certain  "  social  and  fraternal  features  "  as  stated 
by  Mr.  Allen,  President  of  the  Protective  Association,  and 
his  co-worker  in  the  movement,  Mr.  Murdoch,  financier  of 
the  Fish  Commission,  is  not  meeting  with  very  much  favor 
by  the  sportsmen  of  the  State  generally,  and  with  none  what- 
ever where  the  true  inwardness  and  purposes  of  it  are  under- 
stood, as  it  certainly  will  be  by  all  ere  long,  if  the  gratuitous 
circulation  of  this  journal  to  every  nook  and  corner  of  the 
State  and  to  every  individual  in  the  State  interested  in  game 
and  fish  preservation  can  accomplish  this  result.  We  endorse 
the  work  done  by  the  recent  convention  held  in  this  city. 
We  approve  it  from  first  to  last,  and  the  policy  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  is  unequivocally  and  unalterably 
pledged  to  support  it  until  it  becomes  the  law  of  the  land. 
This  is  our  contention  and  all  else  will  be  secondary  until  its 
accomplishment.  The  needs  of  California  require  it;  the 
people  wish  it;  the  press  of  the  State  commend  it,  and  we 
give  timely  notice  that  no  individual,  nor  combination  of  in- 
dividuals will  be  permitted  to  compass  its  defeat  or  attempt 
it,  without  publicity  full  and  complete  ;  their  methods,  their 
objects,  their  names  and  their  business.  No  half-way  meas- 
ures; no  masquerading  as  the  friend  of  the  sportsmen,  and 
by  indirect  and  wrongful  methods  working  bim  an  injury. 
There  is  too  much  at  stake,  and  those  who  may  fancy  they 
would  like  to  enter  in  competition,  can  at  once  conclude  that 
the  contest  is  to  a  finish,  and  the  cause  of  right  against  wrong 
that  this  journal  is  advocating  will  not  be  the  loser. 

Again  we  ask  why  at  this  time,  as  we  near  the  accomplish- 
mentof  substantial  great  and  lasting  benefit  to  the  game  and 
fish  interests  of  our  State,  and  immediately  upon  the  adjourn- 
ment of  the  convention  that  formulated  so  admirable  a  code 
of  laws  in  our  interest,  are  we  confronted  by  the  efforts  of  a 
few  disgruntled  and  selfish  individuals  who,  concealing  their 
true  motives,  claim  tbey  wish  to  organize  a  new  State  organ- 
ization for  "social  and  fraternal  purposes."  If  the  erstwhile 
Napoleon  of  Finance  of  the  Willows,  and  now  handling  the 
funds  of  the  Fish  Commision,  expects  us  to  accept  this  in 
honest  good  faith,  he  is  wrong.  We  do  not  so  construe  it. 
Aside  from  his  concealed  opposition  to  the  work  of  the  con- 
vention, his  reasons  for  his  questionable  attitude  in  all  this 
business  are  thoroughly  understood,  and  will  be  vouchsafed 
the  widest  possible  publicity  at  the  proper  time. 

We  publish  in  full  the  preamble  and  extract  from  the  con- 
stitution and  by-laws  of  our  State  Association,  organized  in 
1881,  which  has  done  and  is  doing  an  admirable  and  wholly 
unselfish  work  in  the  interest  not  only  of  the  sportsman,  but 
the  people  of  the  State  generally.     It   has  the  ring  of  the 
true  metal.     All  are  invited  to  come  within  its  folds.     It  is 
broad  enough  and  wide  enough  for  all,  including  the  "social 
and  fraternal  "  characteristics,  so  urgently  advocated   by  the 
mild  and   placid,   smoothly  talking  gentleman  late  of  the 
Willows,  Colusa  County,  whose  dominant  trait  is  a   modest, 
retiring  unselfishness  and  an  overwhelming  desire  at  all  times 
fo  make  light  the  burdens  of  his  fellow-man.     The  pream- 
ble and  extract  are  as  follows  : 
"  Whereas,  The  game  and  fish  now  within  the  State  are 
1  not  efficiently  conserved  by  our  laws  as  at  present  enforced, 
i  and  are  decreasing  unduly,  thereby  depriving  sportsmen  o( 
I  sport,  worthy  hunters  and  fishermen  of  a  livelihood,  and  the 
1  public  generally  of  a  prominent  food  supply,  and 

"  Whereas,  Sportsmen  from   a  large,  respectable  and  in- 
fluential element  in  the  body  politic  of  the  Sta'e  will,  with 
l  mutual  respect,  harmony,  and   concerned  action.be  able  to 
\  secore  the  ends  and   remedy   the  evils    indicated    in  this 
preamble ; 

"  JRaohxd,  That  we,  Sportsmen  of  the  State  of  California, 
1  in  Convention  assembled,  form  an  association,  as  hereinafter 
]  set  forth,  and  urge  the  sportsmen  of  the  State  generally  to 
join  witb  us  in  the  promotion  of  matters  beneficial  and  of  in-

We  have  received  from  A.  S.  Kenagy  the  following  copy 
of  an  ordinance  passed  by  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Ven- 
tura county.  Mr.  Kenagy  was  a  delegate  to  the  recent  con- 
vention, and  we  are  very  pleased  to  learn  of  his  prompt 
action.  We  trust  the  rest  of  the  delegates  will  do  as  well.

Straight  Stocks. 


"One  good  result  directly  attributable  to  the  World's  Fair 
is  the  growth  of  a  fashion  for  slraighter  gun  stocks,"  savs  a 
writer  in  the  Boston  Herald.  "It  has  always  been  a  cause 
of  wonder  to  men  who  have  had  a  cosmopolitan  experience 
why  the  average  American  gunner  so  beloves  a  stock  crooked 
as  a  donkeys'  hind  legs.  Theory  and  the  practice  of  other 
countries  point  out  the  advantages  of  a  stock  as  nearly  straight 
as  the  gunner  can  use.  In  France  and  Germany  the  ordinary 
drop  is  one  inch  at  the  comb  of  the  butt  and  one  and  a  half 
inches  at  the  heel.  In  Great  Britian  the  usual  drop  is  one 
and  a  half  inches  at  the  comb  and  two  inches  at  the  heel. 
[u  the  United  States  two  inches  and  three  and  a  half  inches 
are  fair  average  measurements.  Now  the  'drop'  is  an  una- 
voidable drawhack  to  good  shooting.  It  cannot  be  done  away 
with  so  long  as  there  is  a  difference  of  level  between  the  eye 
and  shoulder,  yet  it  ought  to  be  kept  as  small  as  possible. 
The  center  of  "the  heel  plate  should,  theoretically,  be  in  the

line  of  recoil.  If  it  be  below,  there  will  be  a  tendency  to 
'  throw  up  '  in  the  muzzle  when  the  charge  is  exploded,  and 
the  farther  the  point  of  resistance  is  from  the  line  of  recoil 
the  greater  will  that  tendency  be.  A  straight  stock  is  sup- 
posed to  be  an  advantage  in  shooting  at  birds  dying  high  or 
rising  rapidly  from  the  ground.  In  shooting  at  rabbits  aod 
other  runnins  small  game  it  might  be  somewhat  of  a  draw- 
back. The  usual  practice  with  the  best  European  wing  shots 
is  to  hav.-  the  Block  so  straight  that  when  aiming  at  a  station- 
arv  mark  it  is  impossible  to  get  the  eye  low  enough  to  the 
breech  to  lose  sight  of  the  last  three  or  four  inches  of  the 
barrels  near  the  muzzle.  By  this  means  the  bird  is  always 
in  plain  view,  and  the  elevation  of  the  rib  suffices  to  send  the 
shot  high  enough  above  the  line  of  aim  to  hit  the  mark. 
Most  wonderful  shooting  is  made  on  driven  birds  living 
rapidly  overhead.but  it  is  doubtful  if  American  work  requires 
quite  so  straight  a  stock  as  this  a«,  except  at  ducks  living 
over  a  pas.-,  lew  birds  are  shot  overhead,  but  still  a  straighter 
slockljthan  that  usually  preferred  would  probably  answer 
better.  The  pistol  hand  is  another  questionable  advantage. 
It  is  of  undoubted  va'.ue  in  the  case  of  heavy  duck  guns  and 
rifles  carrying  a  heavy  charge,  but  a  strnight  hand  is  belter 
for  snap  shooting  in  the  field  with  a  light  gun. 

"  Since  the  exhibition  of  straight-hand  guns  at  the  World's 
Fair  manufacturers  have  had  many  orders  for  ihe  new  style, 
and  those  who  have  used  both  kinds  feel  litlle  doubt  that 
within  the  next  five  years  straight  stocks,  without  pistol 
hands,  will  grow  rapidlv  in  public  favor  on  this  side  of  the 
Atlaniic." — Pacific  Field.

Mr.  A.  C.  Waddell  of  Coffeyville,  Kansas,  will  judge  all 
classes  at  Oakland.  He  is  at  present  in  Santa  Cruz  enjoying 
California  climate  and  sea  breezes. 


The  catalogue  of  the  Southern  California  Kenoel  Club's

Benchley's  Kioto  is  credited  with  winning  a  first  in  San 
Francisco  in  1893.     This  is  not  correct. 


Our  kennel  subscribers  have  been  slighted  in  space  for  the 
past  month,  with  the  exception  of  last  week,  but  the  call  for 
space  in  Rod  and  Gun  departments  will  soon  be  less  urgent

Messrs.  F.  C.  Hoyt  and  J.  S.  Davis  caught  nine  ty  medi- 
um sized  trout  at  Sonoma  creek  on  Sunday  last. 

All  the  interest  of  the  local  anglers  seems  to  be  centered  tn 
the  fi.v  casting  tournament,  but  few  fish  have  been  caught  of 
late.  The  fishermen  have  been  too  busy  casting  for  accuracy, 
delicacy  and  distance.

New  England  Kennel  Club  Bench  Show. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — The  judging  at 
the  New  England  Kennel  Club's  annual  bench  show,  held  at 
Boston,  April  17-20,  was,  I  think,  satisfactory  on  the  whole, 
although  as  usual  there  has  been  some  kicking.  We  under- 
stand that  some  of  the  exhibitors  are  inclined  to  take  excep- 
tion to  the  decisions  of  some  of  the  judges,  notably  in  the 
greyhound,  Russian  wolfhound,  Gordon  setter,  spaniel  and. 
Boston  terrier  and  Scottish  terrier  classes.  Among  the  not- 
able kennels  represented  are  the  Waukie,  Seacroft,  Maybrook, 
Swiss  Mountain,  Chestnut  Hill,  Oak  Grove,  Springside,  Bay- 
onne,  Warwick,  Newcastle,  Hill  Haret,  Hillside,  Grove  Hill 
and  Connecticut  Valley. 

I  have  heard  a  rather  curious  version  of  the  Martin  vs. 
Bell  matter  "in  re"  the  foxterrier  bitch  Blemton  Conse- 
quence, sold  by  Geo.  Bell  to  J.  B.  Martio,  of  San  Francisco, 
and  guaranteed  to  be  in  whelp.  Marlin  has  preferred  charges 
against  Bell  for  sending  him  said  Blemton  Consequence  not 
in  whelp  and  apparently  never  having  been,  while  as  a  matter 
of  fact  Bell  never  shipped  Blemton  Consequence,  but  did 
ship  another  bitch,  keeping  Consequence  and  showing  her  at 
some  of  the  Canadian  shows,  where  she  was  recognized  by 
one  or  two  well-known  judges  of  fox-terriers.  Theeclaircise- 
ment  seems  to  be  brought  about  by  an  attempt  of  Martin  to 
register  with  the  A.  K.  C.  several  pups  as  out  of  Blemton 
Consequence. 

This  show  seems  to  have  been  a  little  fruitful  in  cases  for 
the  bench  show  committee  to  decide  upon,  for  besides  the 
case  mentioned  above  of  a  substitution  in  one  of  the  Gordon 
setter  entries  of  an  entirely  different  dog  for  the  original  dog, 
i.  c,  of  Leo  B.  for  Duke  of  Wellington  in  the  challenge  class 
for  dogs,  there  have  been  several  other  queer  cases  developed. 
Among  others,  a  certain  John  Farrel  claimed  the  mastifl 
Beaufort  Prince,  entered  and  owned  by  Dr.  C.  A.  Loughest, 
as  a  dog  which  he  had  lost  about  four  mouths  ago.  Farrel 
felt  so  sure  of  his  claim  that  today  he  came  to  the  hall  with 


Foxhounds,  American,  Open  Dogs. — Brought   out   a  g  -od 
number  of  entries  aud  some  good  dogs.     First,  went  to  R.  D. 
Williams'  Argonaut,  whose  recent  win   at  Chicago,  has   no 
doubt,  made  him  familiar  to  your  readers;   second,  to  J.

trials  who  looks  a  workman  clearthrough,  and  in  the  opir 
of  many  deserved  lo  lead  the   class;    third,  to   O.F.Jos 
Rock  and  Res.   to  The  Governor's  Kennels   Rover,  aire 
known  from   his  Saratoga   and  New  York  career;   V.  H.  \_.. 
cards  went  toC.  L.  Wellington's  Billy,  M.  F.  Mason's  Braves 
Boy,  J.  M.  White's  Ned,  first,  at  Saratoga  '94,  J.  H.  Murphy's 
Pooler.      H.  C.'s  came   to  J.  M.  White's  Sport,   second,  at 
Saratoga,  '94,  and  A.  McDonald's   Dave  Croekttt,  first,  Bos- 
ton, *92.  Muskedender  Kennel's  Prince  and  Tom  got  C.  cards, 
while  Clay,  one  of  the  best  working  hounds  in  New  England, 
was  unmentioned. 

Foxhounds,  American,  Open  Bitches — Here  Mr.  R.  D. 
Williams  won  first  again  wilh  Bowsprit,  with  Muskedemder 
Kennels,  Judy  as  second,  M.  T.  Mason's  Katie  third  and  J. 
M.  White's  J udv  reserve,  ldo  not  know  that  this  placing 
could,  from  the  judge's  point  of  view,  be  improved  on.  V. 
H.  C.  card«  went  to  M.  T.  Mason's  Norah  and  The  Gover- 
nor's Kennels  Lilly  Dale,  winner  of  first  at  Saratoga,  1894. 

Fuxhounds,  American,  Puppy  Class,  Dogs  and  Bitches — 
Here  the  class  was  divided — in  doge,  G.  W.  Pierce  captured 
first  with  Driver  and  Dr.  A.  C.  Hefienger  second  with  Tam 
O'Shanter,  reserve  going  to  J.  M.  White's  Diamond  K.,  while 
in  the  bitches,  first  went  to  Dr.  H.  C.  HeffengeHs  Dawn,  sec- 
ond to  J.  M.  White's  Belle  K.  and  V.  H.  C.  to  G.  W.  Pierce's 
Jennie  Redstone,  M.  T.  Mason's  Guido,  W.  A.  Bragdon'a 
Delia,  the  rest  being  unnoticed. 

It  should  be  remembered  that  the  judges  of  these  classes 
favors  the  English  type  of  dog,  hence,  as  a  consequence,  all 
those  placed  at  the  head  of  their  classes  (American  we  mean) 
approach  the  type  of  the  Euglish  fnhound  in  formation  of 
head,  especially  although  they  are  of  much  lighter  build. 

As  a  consequence  one  misses  the  somewhat  close  resem- 
blance to  the  blood  hound  head  which  so  many  of  the  old- 
time  New  England  fox  hunters  have  thought  almost  a  ''sim 
qua  non  "  in  their  foxhounds. 

English  Setters,  Challenge  Dogs — Davidson  Judge.  Here 
the  entries,  representing  the  East  and  the  West,  were  not  so 
widely  different  as  might  perhaps  have  been  expected.  They 
were  J.  E.  Dager's  Monk  of  Furness  and  Cohannet  Kennels'' 
Kent  II  placed  as  named;  and  rightly  we  think,  for  Munb 
showed  to  much  better  advantage,  in  spite  of  his  additional 
two  and  one-half  years  in  the  point  of  condition,  to  say  noth 
ing  of  his  being  a  betterdog  throughout. 

English  Setters,  Challenge  Class,  Bitches — Brought  out  J 
W.  Lawson's  Blue  Nell  and  Rockingham  Kennels'  Princess 
Beatrice  placed  as  above.  Here  the  judge  seemed  to  us  to  tx 
right,  and  to  be  sticking  closelv  io  his  idea  of  what  an  Eng 
lish  should  be  as  he  explained  it  to  us.  It  seemed  to  us  thai 
we  had  several  times  seen  both  these  bitches  in  better  condi- 
tion than  they  were  here  in  coat  at  any  rate.  They  are  boll 
good  ones  at  any  time  and  very  fairly  matched,  although  Bin* 
Nell  seemed  to  us  as  likely  to  be  rather  the  more  serviceable 
of  the  two  and  better  able  to  stand  grief  ana  uard  usage. 

English  Setters,  Open  Class,  Dogs. — When  this  class  wat 
called  it  looked  at  first  as  if  the  ring  would  hardlv  hold  then 
all,  for  they  all  showed  up,  and,  by  the  wav,  they  made: 
very  pretty  showing  too.  After  quite  a  dress  parade  thi 
judge  placed  them  as  follows:  First,  Henry  Pape's  Cactus 
second,  C.  E.  Lewis'  Harry  L.;  third,  S.  B.  Allen's  Dai 
Monarch;  reserve,  Warwick  Kennel's  Albert  Ranger;  V 
H.  C,  J  M.  Whipple's  Gasseau,  S.  J.  Kiernan's  Gamester 
Agawan  Kennel's  Count  Noble  Bov,  Etm  Lawn  Kennel' 
Norman;  H.  C ,  Agawam  Kennel's  Drnid  Noble,  Elm  Lawi 
Kennel's  Berkshire,  A.  E.  Davis's  Kent  II;  C.,  Watfieb 
Kennel's  L>ash  Kent,  G.  H.  Eddy's  Cliquot,  H.  Pape1 
Critic,  the  rest  ot  the  class  being  unplaced,  and  among  then 
such  good  ones  as  Victoria  Kennel's  The  Earl,  D.  J.  Pe 
ter^s  Robin  Goch  and  Cohamet  Kennel's  Gladstone  Jr 
and  J.  F.  Tavlor  Williams'  Paul   Hill.     Here    we  do    do 


a  sheriffs  officer,  and,  after  depositing  $500.  attached  the  dog. 

We  imagine  that  his  case  is  a  rather  hard  one,  as  there  seems 

very  little  difficulty  in  tracing  the  history  of  Beiufort  Prince  ]  quite  agree  with  the  judge.     Cactus,  we  think,  deservtd  th 

from  start  to  the  present  day  through   his  breeder  and  past     first  place,  as  did   Harry  L.  the  second,  and  Dad  Monarc 

and  present  owners. 

The  case  mentioned  above,  of  substitution  io  the  Gordon 
setter  challenge  class,  seems  likely  to  be  of  more  magnitude 
than  it  at  first  appeared.  As  at  present  stated,  it  is  that  in 
class  77,  challenge,  where  the  entries  are  Duke  of  Wellington 
and  Count  Noble,  Leo  B.  was  benched  aod  shown  as 
Duke  of  Wellington,  and  it  was  when  a  new  reporter  on  one 
of  the  sporting  papers  was  making  his  tour  of  inspection  in 


third,  but  either  Gasseau  or  Norman  might  well  have  bee 
|  given  the  reserve  card,  although  the  last  was  not  shown  i 
!  good  coat.  Taken  as  a  whole,  this  class  was  quite  as  goo 
j  as  the  corresponding  one  at  New  York,  although  of  a  di 
j  ferent  type  it  seemed  to  us  to  be  more  even  in  quality  ao 

|  type- 
English  Setters,  Open  Class.  Bilches. — Here,  too,  the  con 
'  petition  was  quite  lively  and  close.     The  dogs  were  place 


company  wilh  his  predecessor,  that  the  change  was  discov-  j  as  follows:  First,  Rockingham  Kennel's  Countess  Zoe;  ee* 
ered  |  ond,  Warwick    KenDel's  Albert's  Moll;  third,  C.  A.  Rati 

On  being  taxed  with  "mixing  these  badies  up"  the  handler  j  bone's  Toledo  Queen ;  reserve,  F.  C.  Fowler's  Monk's  Nui 
at  first  denied  having  done  so  and  then  when  convinced  that  ,  V.  H.  C,  Elm  Lawn  Kennel's  Countess  Berkshire,  Wt 
the  change  was  detected  admitted  having  dune  so.  Just  what  I  wick  Kennel's  Blue  Jenny,  J.  B.  Marston's  Madge  ;  H.  C

upon  before  it  is  done  with.  I  side,  H.  Merlen's    Nellie.      Here  we   could    see  no  speci; 

The  auction  saie  did  not  result  very  satisfactorily.  Some  j  reason  for  placing  Albert's  Moll  over  either  Toledo  Queen  <

ding  was  so  spiritless  and  so  few  were  actually  sold  that  the 
sale  was  finally  given  up. 

The  dinner  given  by  the  club  to  the  visitors,  exhibilors  and 
judges  was  a  decided  success.  Fifty-six  sat  down  to  a  sump- 
luous  repast  at  Copley  Square  Hotel.  As  ihe  atlair  was  meant 
to  be  informal,  with  no  speeches  and  the  menu  and  service 
were  good,  it  was  a  very  pleasant  affair. 

The  show  brought  out  888  entries,  with  but  27  absentees, 
again  of  S7  entries  over  last  year's  show.  Jas.  Mortimer 
judged  mastitis,  St.  Bernards,  Great  Danes,  bloodhounds, 
pointers,  poodles,  pugs,  toy  spaniels  and  Italian  greyhounds. 
John  Davidson,  fox  hounds,  English  setters,  Irish  setters, 
dacbshunds.Chesnpeake  B;iy  dogs,l>a.ssets,Newfoundlands  and 
miscellaneous.  J.  Ottis  Fellows,  deerhouods,  greyhounds, 
wolfhounds,  gordons  and  spaniels.  W.  S.  Clatk,  beagles. 
Thos.  H.  Terry,  collies.  John  E.  Thayer,  bulldogs.  John 
P.  Barnard,  Boston  terriers.  T.  S.  Bellin,  foxterriers,  bull 
Bedlingtons,  Scotch,  Irish,  Skye,  Yorkshire  and  black  and 
tan  terriers  and  schipperkes. 

English  Pozbcuuda — Davidson,  judge,  had  only  one  class 
for  dogs  and  bitches  and  only  three  entries  in  that,  i.e., 
Rosemary,  Winsome  and  Denmark  placed  as  named,  a  placing 
which  did  not  seem  to  please  some  of  the  critics  who 
thought  the  laid  much  more  like  the  leader  Rosemary  and 
therefore   entitled  to  second  place  rather  than  third. 

For  hounds,  American,  Challenge,  Dog  and  Bitches. — Had 
only  Elite  in  it,  Mr.  R.  D  Williams'  Commodore  having 
been  called  home.  Elite  was  shown,  a**  usual,  in  fine  con- 
dition and  looking  "  as  pretty  as  a  picture."  We  were  much 
disappointed  not  to  see  Commodore,  whose  recent  wins  have 
interested  us  much. 


her. 

Blue  Jenny  not  getting  into  the  money  seemed  to  both' 
her  owner,  but  was  easily  accounted  for  by  the  poor  cono) 
tion  in  which  she  was  shown. 

English  setters,  Puppy  Class,  Dogs — The  order  was:  Fin 
C.  E.  Lewis'  Harry  L.  (second  in  open);  second,  J.  W.  Lai 
son's  Sir  Winford  ;  reserve,  J.  W.  Lawson's  Bob  of  Rumfor 
V.  H.  C,  Regesta  Bros.'  Pop  Monarch;  H.  C,  Cohann 
Kennels'  Wesiport;  C,  J.  A.  R.  Monroe's  Dan  Monarch, 

Here  Harry  L.  was  so  much  ahead  of  the  rest  of  the  cla 
that  there  was  little  comparison  between  them.  Sir  Winfo 
and  Bob  of  Rumford  are  much  alike,  good  in  body,  neck  ai 
legs — although  light,  but  lacking  in  head — not  stop  enouf 
and   not  square  enough  in  muzzle,  while  too  full  under  ey« 

Puppv   Class,   Bilches — Here  the  order  was:  First,  J.  t 
Lawson's  Lilly  L.;  second,  J.  M.  Whipples'  Reverdv's  Lea 
reserve,  D.  J."  Peters'  Monk's  Pill ;    V.  H.  C,  F.  J.'Capi 
Dot  Monarch  ;  H.  C,  Watfield    Kennels'  Daisv  T.;  Coha 
Kennels'    E-ther ;     C,    Wmtield    Kennels'    Clio    T.,    * 
Agawam  Kennels'  Princess  Noble. 

Here  again  we  think  the  judge  placed  them  about  rigl 
although  Monks'  Lill  is  a  little  light  and  long  in  head  s 
pleased  us  much  in  other  ways,  and  bids  fair,  we  think, 
develope  into  a  very  good  one  later  on.

The  Summer   Meeting. 


The  entries  for  the  summer  meeting  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeding  Associ- 
ation demonstrated  most  clearly  that  there  are 
plenty  of  horses  eligible  to  the  slower  classes, 
consequently  these  evenls  filled  well,  and 
by.  looking  carefully  down  the  following 
list  of  entries  it  will  cbe  observed  that  ^a 
number  of  ihese  events  .did  not  fill,  notably, 
the  free-for-aU  trot  and  the  free-for-all  pace  ; 
the  2:14  class  trotting  race  and  the  2:20  and 
the  2:14  classes  pacing.  These  have  all  been 
re-opened  at  five  per  cent,  to  enter,  and  from 
the  lists  sent  in  there  need  be  no  fear  but  that 
they  will  fill  well.     Entries  will  close  June  1.

Foreign  Sporting'  Notes. 


S-  Loates. — After  "standing  down"  for  three 
seasons,  this  well-known  jockey  renewed 
acquaintance  with  public  riding  at  Kempton 
Park,  and  his  return  to  the  saudle  was  signal- 
ized in  the  most  auspicious  manner,  for  he 
steered  the  first  winner  of  the  fiat-racing  sea- 
son. This  was  Santa  Luna,  upon  whom  he 
had  the  mount  for  theFitzharding  Plate,  and 
loudly  as  he  was  cheered  as  the  filly  cantered 
to  the  post,  the  greeting  was  vigorously  re- 
newed when  Santa  Luna  was  seen  coming 
round  the  bend  with  the  race  in  hand. 

The  two  undoubtedly  best  yearling  fillies 
that  I  have  seen  this  yesr  are  by  Sursfoot  and 
are  owned  by  Mr.  Peck.  They  are  daughters 
respectively  of  Grandeur  andStrathardie,  and 
while  the  latter  claims  consideration  as  per- 
haps the  better  bred  one,  the  former  cannot 
be  seriously  impeached  on  the  score  of  breed- 
ing. The  Grandeur  filly  is  a  big,  raking  bay 
with  a  blaze  face,  white  over  the  off  fore  fet- 
lock and  both  hind  ones.  She  has  an  ex- 
traordinary back  and  quarters,  with  size,  great 
length  and  fine  racing  symmetry  ;  standing  on 
the  best  of  limbs  all  round;  an  absolutely  first- 
class  filly,  with  beautiful  temper.  Most  people, 
I  suppose,  will  prefer  her  to  the  daughter  of 
Strathardie,  who  is  also  a  blaze-faced  bay  with 
white  hind  heels,  but  for  my  part  I  am  much 
taken  up  with  this  beautiful  filly,  who  in 
shoulders,  neck  and  head  is  a  Blair  Athol  all 
over — nor  has  anything  ever  quite  touched 
Blair  Athol  and  his  stock  in  that  department, 
viz.,  blood-like  forehand.  But  this  filly  has 
al?o  a  tremendous  back  on  her  with  quarters 
and  second  thighs  of  the  best,  and  both  she 
and  the  one  last  mentioned  revive  strikingly 
the  Queen  Marv  characteristics.  There  is  no 
great  need  to  dilate  further  on  the  subject,  for 
it  will  not  be  till  July  that  buyers  have  a 
chance  to  secure  these  remarkable  fillies,  but 
the  supporters  of  Surefoot  will  doubtless  be 
glad  to  read  of  the  overpowering  success  of  the 
horse — for  indeed  in  so  expressing  it  I  do  not 
in  any  way  over  state  the  case,  so  far  as  it  is 
humanely  possible  to  judge  by  appearances. — 
[Snortsman. 


A  Lexington  man  has  invented  a  unique 
concern  for  catching  the  time  in  races,  doing 
away  with  timers.  The  invention  is  called 
the  automatic  timer.  It  consists  of  a  clock, 
which  is  placed  in  the  timers'  stand.  Eight 
minute  hands  revolve  on  the  dial.  A  plate  is 
laid  across  the  track  at  each  eighth  pole  and 
one  at  the  wire.  As  the  horse  passes  the 
wire  in  getting  away  his  feet  strike  the  plate 
and  the  bands  start.  As  the  horse  strikes  the 
plate  at  each  eighth  pole  one  of  the  hands 
stops,  and  so  on  around  the  circuit.  When 
the  wire  is  again  reached  the  clock  stops,  and 
an  inspection  of  the  dial  will  show  the  time 
made  for  any  fractional  part  of  the  mile.  The 
connection?  between  the  plate  and  the  clock 
are  made  by  electric  wires. 


Some  of  our  Eastern  friends  view  the  late 
move  of  Pacific  Coast  breeders  as  being  some- 
thing akin  to  secession.  So  far  as  we  can  see 
there  is  nothing  '  traitorous  about  it,  and  if 
the  breeders  there  wish  to  form  a  little  se- 
cluded set,  it  certainly  is  their  privilege.  If 
the  move  should  prove  unprofitable,  as  some 
Eastern  papers  say  it  will,  it  will  not  increase 
taxes  east  of  the  Rockies. — Western  Breeder.

W.  H.  B.,  Reno,  Nevada.— Please  inform 
me  what  to  do  for  a  yearling  filly  that  at  foal- 
ing or  soon  after  had  a  lump  under  its  throat. 
It  was  opened  soon  after  but  continued  to  grow 
worse  and  now  there  is  a  bunch  about  three 
inches  wide  and  four  long  under  its  jaw.  There 
was  apprrently  no  feeling  in  it  until  a  few 
days  since,  when  it  became  hot  and  feeverish. 
There  is  a  little  redish  watery  matter  running 
from  its  mouth  and  nostrils.  Oue  s;de  of  its 
nostrils  and  lip  has  always  been  wrinkled  and 
enlarged.  Has  been  in  good  flesh  until  lately. 
Please  answer  to  Bobo  and  oblige.  Answer 
— If  the  enlargement  be  on  the  bone  it  has 
probablv  been  the  result  of  an  injury,  such  as 
a  kick,  causing  a  slight  fracture,in  which  case 
detached  pieces  of  bone,  sloughing,  would 
cause  a  discharge  which  might  contiae  for 
years.  This  Injury  to  the  lower  jaw  could  not 
cause  a  discharge  from  the  nostrils,  bo  that 
either  the  bones  of  the  upperjaw  or  face  must 
have  been  involved  in  the  injury,  or  we  have 
to  look  for  some  other  cause  for  the  discharge. 
If  the  enlaagement  that  you  mention  is  con- 
nected with  the  glands  underthe  jaw,  and  not 
the  jaw  bone,  then  there  is  grave  suspicion  of 
having  glanders  present  Examine  the  in- 
side of  the  nostril  affected  and  see  if  there  are 
small  ulcers  on  the  part  that  divides  the  two 
nostrils.  Take  notice  if  there  is  fetor  with 
the  breath,  say  whether  the  glands  or  bone  be 
enlarged,  and  whereexactly  the  lump  is  situ- 
ated. Did  the  fillies'  dam  ever  have  enlarged 
glands  and  discbarge  from  the  nostrils,  or  was 
the  filly  in  contact  with  any  horse  that  was 
thus  affected?  Please  answer  above  questions 
and  I  will  advise  accordingly. 


Selling  Races  "Want  Regulating-. 


There  seems  to  be  a  general  desire  amODg 
racing  men  that  the  Jockey  Club  shall,  in 
handling  the  rules  of  racing,  try  to  amend 
the  regulation  of  selling  races,  says  Francis 
Trevelyan,  in  Daily  America  and  Mercury. 
The  fact  of  the  matter  is  that,  as  things  have 
been  conducted  of  late,  the  events  described 
as  selling  races  on  the  programme^  are  not 
really  selling  events  pure  and  simple  at  all. 
Of  course,  special  rules  and  regulations  of  an 
association  have  heretofore  superseded  the 
Rules  of  Racing  when  they  conflicted.  But  it 
is  abiurd  that  the  claiming  clause,  which  has 
been  an  essential  portion  of  Rule  72,  should 
in  a  majority  of  cases  be  neglected.  It  may 
prove  worth  whilp  to  draw  the  attention  of 
the  rules  committee  of  the  Jockey  Club  to  a 
rule  which  is  in  force  under  the  Victoria  Rac- 
ing Club  of  Melbourne.    This  reads: 

"In  all  selling  races  the  winner  shall  be 
sold  with  his  engagements.  Any  surplus  above 
the  selling  price  shall  belong  to  the  Victoria 
Racing  Club,  and  any  horse  in  such  selling 
race,  though  not  a  winner,  may,  at  the  request 
of  any  person  made  to  the  stewards  within 
fifteen  minutes  from  the  termination  of  the 
race,  be  put  up  at  auction  in  the  same  way  as 
the  winner,  the  upset  price  to  be  the  amount 
at  which  he  is  to  be  sold,  added  to  the  value  of 
the  stake,  provided  the  person  requiring  any 
horse  to  be  sold  shall  take  him  at  the  upset 
price,  should  there  be  no  higher  bidding." 

This  seems  to  be  a  rule  that  should  work 
admirably  in  practice.  It  is  better  than  the 
claiming  clause  in  that  it  gives  the  owner  of 
the  beaten  horse  a  chance  to  protect  his  horse. 
It  has  always  been  easy  to  raise  the  cry  that 
the  claiming  clause  was  unfair,  largely  from 
the  fact  that  even  at  meetings  where  it  was  in 
operation  it  was  seldom  used.  Thus  when  the 
occasion  did  arise  when  it  was  used  the  owner 
of  the  animal  claimed  could  readily  piesent 
himself  in  the  guise  of  a  victim.  All  this 
would  be  obviated  by  the  adoption  of  the  Aus- 
tralian rule,  while  at  the  same  time  it  is  hard 
to  imagine  that  owners  would  be  so  small- 
minded  and  timorous  as  not  to  seize  the 
chance  to  prevent  others  from  running  stake 
horses  at  a  fraction  of  their  value.  If  it  came 
about  that  beaten  horses  were  commonly  put 
up  at  auction  it  would  soon  become  apparent 
that  running  horses  at  false  prices  was  a  poor 
game.  The  owner  of  the  beaten  horse  would 
not  have  bets  to  pocket  which  would  enable 
him  to  protect  his  horse  without  inconve- 
nience to  his  bank  roll,  and  even  if  he  were  a 
rich  man  he  would  not  care  about  very  many 
experiences  of  this  kind. 


Ed.  Corrigan  has  eight  yearlings  by  Riley 
at  his  farm  at  Midway,  Ky.,  from  eleven  mares 
he  bred  to  him  last  year.  Helter  Skelter 
slipped  her  foal.  This  Spring  seventeen  mares 
will  be  bred  to  the  horse,  and  after  that  he  will 
be  put  into  training.  Speaking  of  his  two- 
year-old  filly,  Kitty  Scott,  who  carried  all  be- 
fore her  at  San  Francisco,  Mr.  Corrigan  said: 
"  She  is  a  little  mite  of  a  thing,  and  she  looks 
as  though  stake  weight  would  about  break  her 
in  two.  I  don't  bank  much  on  the  four  races 
she  won  in  California,     To  be  a  great  filly  she 


will  have  to  win  in  much  better  class,  and  we 
don't  know  what  she  will  do  when  she  meets 
the  good  colts  and  fillies  in  this  section  of  the 
country.  When  she  was  shipped  at  San  Fran- 
cisco she  was  in  the  best  of.  condition  and  as 
playful  as  a  kitten." 


Horse  Meat  as  Food. 


The  advertised  sale  this  week  of  about  1,000 
head  of  the  horses  discarded  by  the  street 
railroads  on  the  advent  of  the  trolley  calls  at- 
tention to  the  changes  in  the  value  of  draught 
horses  and  electric  motors  have  made,  says  a 
New  York  dispatch.  All  the  old  and  worn 
out  horses  in  this  vicinity  are  sent  over  to 
Brooklyn  to  be  disposed  of  at  a  market  which 
is  unique  in  its  way.  Sales  are  held  everv 
Monday  and  Thursday,  and  the  prices  range 
from  $2  to  $100  a  head.  The  common  aver- 
age is  from  $10  to  $25.  Last  Thursday  a  rig, 
consisting  of  wagon,  horse  and  harness,  all 
went  for  $6.  The  $2  style  of  animal  is  asu- 
ally  bought  by  a  man  who  started  several 
years  ago  a  regular  slaughter  house  just  out- 
side the  city.  He  kills  them  just  as  other 
cattle  are  disposed  of,  his  slaughter  house  be- 
ing appointed  according  to  the  most  modern 
ideas.  The  hides  goes  to  the  tanner,the  hoofs 
to  the  glue  factory,  the  manes  and  tails  to  the 
hair  factories,  the  bones  to  the  sugar  refiners, 
the  meat  is  carved  up  by  buichers  into  pieces 
about  two  feet  long  and  ten  inches  ^quare.then 
smoked  and  pickled  and  sent  across  the  ocean 
to  Belgium  in  tierces.  He  ships  as  manv  as 
100  tierces  at  a  time.  In  Belgium  the  people 
don't  object  to  eating  horse  meat.  Some  of  it, 
according  to  rumor,  comes  back  here  in  nica 
foreign  brands  and  tariff  doty  paid  as  choice 
imported  bologna.  Two  years  ago  the  de- 
partment of  agriculture  at  Washington  seized 
100  tierces  of  thestuiFas  unfit  for  export  as 
food,  as  it  had  not  been  properly  inspected. 
Now,  to  keep  up  the  good  reputet  bus  estab- 
lished, the  exporter  employs  a  veterinary  sur- 
geon himself  to  inspect  every  animal  killed.

One  of  the  most  important  transfers  in  trot- 
ting-horse  circles  which  has  taken  place  in 
Lexington,  Ky.,  in  years  was  completed  April 
20th,  when  Bowerman  Bros.,  of  this  county, 
sold  to  Edward  de  Cernea,  of  New  York,  the 
sensational  race  mares,  Sea  Girl  (2:18}),  and 
Mabala  (2:19$).  Sea  Girl  is  six  years  old, 
sired  by  Wilton,  out  of  John  Patchen,  by 
Mambrino  Patchen  ;  second  dam  Julia  Belle 
Founder,  by  Crockett's  Bellfounder.  She  was 
raced  in  her  three  and  four-year-old  form  and 
the  latter  year  won  all  her  starts  save  two, 
getting  her  record.  Mahala  is  seven  years 
old,  sired  by  Cyclone,  dam  Madam  Beattv 
(dam  of  Gillette,  2:1H  and  Black  Eyed,  2:17$  j, 
by  Monroe  Chief.  She  raced  as  a  four-year- 
old  and  won  all  but  one  of  her  starts.  These 
mares  are  both  a  beautiful  black  and  are  the 
best  team  that  ever  left  the  State,  having 
shown  a  2:12  gait  to  the  pole.  The  price  is 
private  but  known  to  be  large.  This  is  the 
team  Mike  Bowerman  oflered  to  match  against 
any  two  horses  in  the  world  eligible  to  the  2:19 
class. 

It  will  be  bard  work  to  keep  up  the  inter- 
est in  horse-racing  during  the  coming  sum- 
mer, says  the  St.  Louis  Globe  Democrat.  The 
tendency  all  over  the  country  is  to  subordinate 
the  sporting  feature  to  the  gambling  feature. 
The  bookmakers  own  the  horses  and  control 
the  races.  Distances  are  so  short  that  the 
horses  'hat  get  a  slight  advantage  in  the  start 
— and  it  is  very  hard  to  start  a  field  of  horses 
on  absolutely  equal  terms — is  reasonably  sure 
to  wio.  Winter  racing  has  had  a  bad  effect 
on  summer  racing,  by  tending  to  reduce  all 
that  kind  of  sport  to  a  lower  level,  and  the  de- 
cline is  not  local  to  any  place  or  secli 
general  and  all  over  the  country.

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Stamboul,  2:07 A.— As  I  anticipated,  Sam  Gamble's  letter 
to  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  has  had  the  effect  which  he  prob- 
ably intended  it  should,  viz.,  bringing  himself  prominently 
before  the  public.  Whether  the*  notoriety  will  be  a  recom- 
pense for  the  pusitioD  it  places  him  in,  he  can  best  deter- 
mine. 

That  the  position  would  be  anything  but  agreeable  to  most 
men  is  beyond  contention,  and  from  no  point  of  view  that  I 
can  imagine  can  it  be  called  pleasant. 

According  to  his  own  declaration  there  is  need  of  explana- 
tion. He  locales  the  time  when  he  was  converted  to  the 
2:ICA  some  six  months  after  the  performance,  but  he  fails  to 
make  his  change  of  belief  public  until  a  year  after  he  became 
cognizant  of  the  facts.  Then  the  American  SportsmaD, which 
first  gave  publicity  to  Gamble's  statement,  now  publishes  that 
its  "  Authority  for  the  above  statement  is  W.  R.  Allen,  the 
President  of  the  American  Trotting  Register  Association."  It 
is  a  fair  inference  then  that  it  was  confided  to  Mr.  Allen  be- 
fore the  newspapers  were  favored,  and  then  came  the  letter 
to  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  alluded  to  last  week.  It  is  a  some- 
what singular  conjunction  that  the  first  that  was  known  of 
the  questioned  record  was  through  an'eflort  to  dispose  of  it  to 
Mr.  Allen,  for  a  large  consideration,  affidavits  that  would  add 
ten  seconds  to  the  time  of  Stanboul. 

Previous  to  that,  perhaps,  an  attempt  was  made  to  black- 
mail James  Cross,  Esq.,  the  executor  of  the  Hobart  estate, 
though  the  proposal  to  Mr.  Allen  was  the  bomb  which  ex- 
ploded with  so  loud  a  report,  and  then  went  out  in  a  sput- 
tering fizzle. 

My  intention  was  to  copy  some  of  the  comments  of  East- 
ern turf  papers  on  the  Gamble  letter,but  if  any  attempt  were 
made  to  quote  enough  to  give  a  fair  understanding  of  their 
views,  a  good  many  pages  of  the  Breeder  and  9portsman 
would  be  occupied.  Clark's  Horse  Review  took  about  the 
ground  that  I  did  when  the  first  statement  was  read,  that  be- 
ing that  it  would  be  contradicted  as  soon  as  Mr.  Gamble  was 
acquainted  with  the  publication.  All  of  the  others  appear 
to  be  of  nearly  the  same  opinion,  viz.,  that  the  case  be  re- 
opened. One  paper  suggests  that  the  owner  of  Stamboul 
should  sue  for  money  obtained  under  false  pretenses,  and  if 
there  is  a  chance  for  bringing  it  into  a  court  of  law  that  would 
be  the  better  way  of  establishing  the  falsity  as  claimed.  But 
I  doubt  if  any  lawyer  would  accept  the  case  and  depend  on 
Mr.  Gamble's  letter  for  the  basis,  and  were  the  testimony  pre- 
sented to  the  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals  consulted, the  huge  and 
portentious  cloud  which  now  covers  the  whole  sky  from  hori- 
zon to  zenith  would  be  dispersed  not  a  streak  of  vapor 
would  remain. 

That  publication  has  been  a  veritable  godsend  to  a  few  of 
the  writers  who  like  to  get  the  chance  of  a  fling  at  California. 
That  has  little  effect,  and  were  that  the  only  trouble  which 
followed  the  publication  of  Gamble's  letter  small  attention 
would  have  been  given  to  the  charge.  But  a  large  majority 
of  the  readers  of  the  Eastern  papers  are  not  likely  to  beat 
all  familiar  with  the  history  of  this  noted  case,  and  wh»n  it 
is  seen  that  it  is  treated  by  the  editors  as  if  such  grave  im- 
portance as  to  call  for  further  investigation  they  will  neces- 
sarily come  to  the  conclusion  that  a  nefarious  and  successful 
attempt  has  been  made  to  defraud  the  purchase  of  Stamboul. 
The  A.  T.  R.  A.  threw  the  record  aside  as  the  technicalities 
of  the  rules  were  not  followed.  That  part  is  settled.  The 
Pacific  Board  of  Appeals  of  the  National  Trotting  Associa- 
tion took  it  in  his  hand  and  very  properly,  too,  as  the  trans- 
action occurred  on  the  track  of  one  of  its  members.  There 
is  no  claim  that  the  trial  was  not  fairly  conducted,  and  the 
only  point  on  which  a  pew  trial  could  be  asked  for  would  be 
"newly  discovered  evidence."  What  is  that?  It  maybe 
that  the  editor  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  has  copied 
that  communication  and  if  he  has  will  refer  to  that.  If  not  it 
can  be  put  in  a  few  words.  Two  or  three  men,  not  named, 
advised  Mr.  Gemble  not  to  write  any  more  in  favor  of  the 
2:07$  record.  That  they  were  on  the  way  to  the 
track  and  when  they  got  there  Stamboul  had 
trotted  and  was ''coming  off,  and  the  horse  and  bike  sulky 
were  covered  all  over  with  mud,  and  they  were  told  that  the 
mile  was  in  2:1s1  in  the  rain  and  mud."  Mr.  Gamble  volun- 
teers the  opinion  that  2:1 6.J  was  the  "greatest  mile  ever 
trotted  by  a  stallion  up  to  date." 

That  the  men  who  testified  before  the  Board  of  Appeals 
that  the  track  was  not  muddy,  that  the  time  was  honestly 
taken  and  honestly  announced  should  be  smirched  by  such 
testimony  and  called  to  account  in  so  many  journals,  proves 
what  I  have  long  claimed,  that  when  pedigrees  and  records 
are  assailed  the  most  absurd  stories  will  be  credited.

Tuxes  For  House  Bedding. — In  Oakland  at  least  there  is 
such  a  dearth  of  strain  for  bedding  that  in  addition  to  the 
high  price  which  prevails  there  is  a  good  deal  of  difficulty 
in  securing  it.  Those  dealers  who  are  so  fortunate  as  to 
have  a  moderate  supply  refuse  to  part  with  it  to  others  than 
regular  customers,  and  in  place  of  prospects  being  favorable 
for  a  better  supply  after  harvest,  there  is  more  likelihood  of 
diminution.  The  lack  of  rain  during  April  threatened  a  to- 
tal loss  of  crops,  and  although  that  of  last  week  was  of  im- 
mense benefit,  a  great  proportion  of  that  intended  for  grain 
will  be  cut  for  hay.  Even  in  good  years,  in  the  country  con- 
tiguous to  Ban  Francisco  hay  will  pay  as  well  as  grain,  but 
when  it  is  a  question  between  a  small  yield  of  wheat,  barley 
and  oats,  and  fair  return  of  hay,  the  balance  is  largely  in  fa- 
vor of  forage. 

When  the  pressure  came  so  hard  as  to  mean  ninety  cents 
a  bale,  and  (hen  granted  as  a  favor,  I  thought  of  substitutes. 
Sawdust  and  ofi'al  from  planing  mills  was  copiously  used  in 
Chicago  when  straw  was  not  scarce,  but  owing  to  the  hard 
times  the  Oakland  mills  were  running  on  abbreviated  time. 
Tanbark  might  be  dried  En  these  sunshiny  days,  and  a  few 
nches  of  that  would  make  the  soft  side  of  planks  somewhat 
uore  comfortable  Bui  tanneriesalsoshutdown, and  then  sifted 
and  from  the  beach  was  the  next  mental  substitute  for  straw. 
'  bjections  to  that,  aud  looking  still  further  back  than  Chi- 
cago   experience    it  was  recalled    that   "bottom    hay"  had 


been  tried  with  good  success  in  years  "  before  the  war"  in 
Iowa.  In  the  "  fifties"  there  was  little  "tame  hay"  in  Iowa, 
Upland  prairie  and  bottom  hay  were  the  varieties  in  com- 
mon use.  The  upland  was  short  and  .fine,  illy  adapted  for 
bedding,  as  it  rolled  up  in  wads,  especially  when  wet.  The 
bottom  kind  was  the  reverse.  When  chiefly  blue-joint  it 
had  the  appearance  of  canes  cut  and  dried,  and  then  in  place 
of  one  cylinder  like  ordinary  cereals  there  were  several.  This 
made  it  hard  and  at  first  sight  thoroughly  unfit  for  bedding  ; 
but  after  being  tramped  upon  for  even  a  short  time  the  rigid- 
ity was  overcome,  and  it  made  as  lasting  a  bed,  if  not  more 
so,  than  rye  straw. 

On  the  low,  rich  bottoms  of  the  Mississippi  and  tributary 
streams  I  have  seen  blue  joint  that  would  hide  a  man  on 
horseback,  and  without  being  so  large  as  tules,  slightly  infe- 
rior in  size  and  height. 

"What[sort  of  building  will  tules  make?  was  the  query  to 
all  of  the  old  settlers  I  met  when  the  idea  was  entertained. 
"  Never  tried  it,"  said  Brandow,  but  after  a  little  pondering, 
"I  believe  it  will  answer."  Tha*  was  the  opinion  of  all 
who  were  interviewad  on  that  first  afternoon,  though  the 
next  day  I  was  fortunate  enough  to  question  a  man  who  had 
tried  it.  That  was  A.  L.  Hinds,  whose  experience  was 
gained  at  the  half  mile  track,  on  the  Cliff  House  road  there- 
fore! at  least  twenty  years  ago.  That  was  with  tule  hay 
differing  somewhat  from  the  rank  growth  which  is  seen  on 
the  margin  of  the  Sacramento  and  San  Joaquin  rivers,  and 
along  the  shores  of  the  bay.  Still  that  was  so  long,  Mr. 
Hinds  said,  that  they  cut  it  in  two,  and  then  of  all  the  kinds 
he  had  tried  it  was  the  most  enduring.  However  wet  when 
thrown  out  of  the  stall,  when  dried  it  was  about  as  good  as 
new,  and  a  comfortable  couch  withal,  for  horses  to  rest  upon. 

The  crop  of  tules  within  a  short  distance  of  San  Francisco 
is  practically  inexhaustible.  And  with  cheap  freight  which 
the  river  and  bay  ensure  the  first  expense  cannot  be  heavy. 
It  may  prove  that  tules  are  superior  to  straw  for  the  purpose 
of  bedding  for  horses,  and  in  that  case  there  will  always  be 
a  demand.  While  straw  may  be  cheap  in  ordinary  years,  or 
rather  periods  of  the  year,  there  is  always  a  time  when  it 
bears  a  good  price.  But  as  nearly  as  can  be  forelold  now  there 
will  have  to  be  another  harvest  time  before  the  scarcity  can 
be  remedied,  and  those  who  have  sufficient  faith  in  the 
adaptability  of  tules  to  make  the  experiment,  and  it  proves 
successful,  can  rely  upon  a  good  market  for  a  year  at  least. 
Tules  might  be  cut  before  reaching  maturity  and  thus  get  a 
better  article,  neither  so  long  or  stifi  as  when  fully  grown. 
Baling  might  be  troublesome,  though  bundles  could  be  made 
without  the  aid  of  a  press  which  would  be  compact  enough 
for  transportation.  Should  the  tules  havs  strength  and  plia- 
bility enough  to  serve  for  bands  the  whole  outlay  would  be 
labor  and  transportation,  and  now  that  there  is  surplus  of 
labor  that  part  would  be  at  minimum  cost.  Many  readers  of 
the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  are,  doubtless,  familiar  with 
tules  and  could  give  reliable  information  in  regard  to  using 
them  for  the  purpose  mentioned.  While  it  will  be  very 
gratifying  to  learn  that  the  scheme  is  plausible,  more  so  if 
practicable  enough  to  warrant  a  trial ;  a  contrary  verdict  will 
be  better  than  a  false  impression.  Therefore,  I  shall  be  un- 
der obligations  for  replies  to  the  query  :  Are  tules  available 
for  bedding  for  horses?  If  the  answer  is  in  the  affirmative 
it  surely  seems  that  part  of  stable  economy  can  be  more 
economically  handled,  than  if  the  whole  dependence  is  in 
straw.

Records. — That  records,  so  far  as  their  admission  into  the 
Year  Book,  or  as  a  basis  of  standardicity,  to  coin  a  word,  is 
dependent  on  membership  in  one  of  the  old  associations,  is  a 
false  conclusion.  No  other  proof  is  necessary  than  a  refer- 
ence to  the  well-known  cases  at  Stockton  in  October  1892. 
The  association  which  supervised  was  a  member  of  the 
National  Trotting  Association.  The  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals 
of  the  National  investigated  the  proceedings,  examined  many 
witnesses,  and,  after  a  fair  and  impartial  trial,  decided  that 
the  records  had  been  made  in  accordance  with  the  rules  of 
the  N.  T.  A.  The  American  Trotting  Registry  Association 
also  investigated,  summoned  witnesses,  held  a  fair  and  impar- 
tial trial,  and  decided  that  its  rules  had  not  been  observed 
and  rejected  them.  In  my  opinion  both  decisions  were  justi- 
fied by  the  evidence  that  showed  that  the  time  made  was  cor- 
rect, but  the  technicalities  were  not  followed  ;  that  is,  that 
the  requirements  of  the  A.  T.  R.  A.  were  not  complied  with, 
and  the  seeming  paradox  is  explained. 

But  re  cords,  as  one  man  who  has  always  harping  on 
"time"  pronounce  the  words,  with  sharp  emphasis  on  the 
last  syllable,  have  lost  a  good  deal  of  their  attractiveness. 
The  glamourie  which  jsurrounded  them  has  lost  some  of  its 
vivid  coloring,  and  since  the  days  when  the  champions  were 
fighting  their  battles,  one  on  the  banks  of  the  Cumbeiland 
and  the  other  on  the  mesa  overlooking  the  San  Joaquin,  a 
change  has  come  The  whole  country,  that  is,  the  country 
where  the  dwellers  of  record  worshipers  were  so  prominent, 
awaited  with  great  eagerness  the  fiat  of  the  arbiters  which 
would  decide  whether  the  East  or  the  far  West  was  the  vic- 
tor, and  there  were  violent  discussions  aud  hot  words  ex- 
changed. Never  a  trial  when  so  queer  an  issue  as  a  quarter 
of  a  second  was  the  bone  of  contention,  and  had  a  person 
from  some  foreign  country  been  present,  it  would  have  been 
a  difficult  task  to  impress  him  with  other  ideas  than  that  it 
was  a  childish,  an  unaccountable  procedure.  Judges  sum- 
moned hundredsof  miles  from  their  homes  and  witnesses  with 
the  best  part  of  a  thousand  leagues  to  travel  to  reach  the 
court. 

The  stallion  championship.  How  could  that  be  settled 
with  a  particle  of  certainty  when  the  contestants  were  separ- 
ated by  ever  so  many  degrees  of  longitude,  aud  on  ground  so 
dissimilar?  And  the  object  of  the  strife  would  be  still  more 
difficult  to  explain.  However  unreasonable,  supremely  ridic- 
ulous though  it  might  be  to  those  on  the  outside,  the  esoteric 
division  were  enthralled,  rapt  in  the  contemplation  of  the 
idol  which  excited  their  fervent  adoration 

This  singular  infatuation  was  not  without  good  cause. 
Records!  Records!!  Records!!!  were  the  themes  whenever 
light  harness  horses  were  discussed.  What  is  his  record? 
How  many  in  the  list?  Breeding  a  secondary  consideration, 
form,  size,  soundness,  beauty,  docility,  endurance  of  so  lilllc 
moment  as  to  present  a  slight  figure  in  the  conversation.  Be- 
fore the  days  of  standard,  records  were  avoided  to  an  exteut 
that  made  classification  on  a  time  basis  a  delusion. 

Then  the  most  severe  laws  were  enacted  to  prevent  thesup- 
pression  of  time."  These,  in  a  measure,  forced  judges  and 
"timers"  to  a  more  honest  discharge  of  their  duties,  and  as  a 
consequence  the  rascality,  to  be  successful,  had  to  be  the  work 
of  the  drivers.  The  crime  of  throwing  heats  and  races,  when 


the  object  was  to  avoid  a  record,  was  by  many  considered  so 
venal  that  sulky  rogues  were  applauded  for  the  wisdom  dis- 
played by  ''  keeping  in  the  class,"  and  even  "  turf  papers  " 
sought  to  varnish  rascality  by  apologies,  some  of  them  going 
so  far  as  to  commend  in  place  of  denouncing  the  perpetrators 
of  the  fraud. 

Now  that  the  value  of  a  majority  of  light  harness  horses 
will  mainly  hinge  on  their  earning  capacity,  and  as  the  gen- 
eral opinion  is  that  the  slower  the  class  the  easier  to  win,  the 
benefits  of  the  best  course  in  tue  education  viz.  trotting  in 
races,  will  be  sought,  the  drawbacks  shunned.  No  more 
"hustling"  for  records,  no  longer  a  frantic  deson  to  secure 
standard  rank  when  the  metal  in  the  coin,  and  not  the  stamp, 
fixes  the  valuation. 

Already  the  astersisks  preceding  the  names  of  those  which 
figure  in  the  Year  Book  are  few  in  number  when  compared 
with  previous  issues.  It  is  already  foreshadowed  that  every 
succeeding  volume  will  show  a  decrease,  and  it  may  be  that 
at  no  distant  day  only  one  kind  of  a  record  will  be  accepted 
as  genuine  credentials,  "trotting  against  time,"  a  fad  for 
those  who  are  willing  to  accept  a  "  publictrial"  in  full  re- 
compense for  the  "bar."  It  is  idle  to  talk  of  a  "higher 
standard"  working  reform, and  the  anticipation  of  a  gorgeous 
aureola  surrounding  the  skeleton  a  fallacy.  Not  even  a 
nimbus  to  attract  attention  from  the  eyeless  sockets  and 
whitened  skull  should  2:20  be  the  figures  in  place  of  2:30,  the 
race  has  been  run  over  and  over,  and  since  the  conditions 
were  fixed,  that  it  should  be  a  true  race,  there  can  only  be  one 
result,  every  future  trial  must  intensify  the  demand  for  abro- 
gation. Were  the  terms  of  admission  to  the  Standard  Register 
tightened,  made  ever  so  strict,  and  valuations  adjusted  by 
compliance  with  the  terms,  until  that  was  also  exploded  there 
would  be  another  frantic  rush  after  records.  It  is  true  that 
the  monopoly  would  be  in  fewer  hands,  and  therefore  more 
dangerous  to  the  general  weal.  Were  it  based  entirely  on 
the  record  of  the  animal  which  sought  admission  the  wealthy 
breeder  could  exert  his  whole  force  to  accomplish  the  ob- 
ject. No  need  of  running  the  risks  inseparable  with  actual 
racing,  and  the  training  which  would  be  necessary  to  prepare 
the  candidate  for  a  series  of  hard  contests.  The  breeder  not 
so  well  endowed  by  fortune  must  of  necessity  seek  remuner- 
ation in  the  shape  of  "  public  money  "  to  pay  the  expense. 
Then  if  several  generations  are  required  to  give  standing  the 
old  and  large breedingestablishments  have  the  strongest  kind 
of  a  pull  over  the  new  and  smaller  competitors. 

There  is  a  simple  solution.  In  place  of  raising  the  stand- 
ard put  it  back  on  the  old  basis.  The  Register  should  be  a 
reliable  source  of  information  regarding  the  pedigree  of  trot- 
ters; that  its  full  scope,  not  the  appraiser  of  values.  Let  the 
rules  be  as  stringent  as  necessary  to  guard  against  fictitious 
claims,  and  let  sellers,buyers  and  breeders  settle  the  rest.  The 
Year  Book,  a  full  and  complete  synopsis  of  the  performances 
of  the  year,  that  and  the  papers  which  make  a  "specialty"  of 
trotting  and  pacing,  sufficient  guide  to  performances,  the  es- 
says give  some  cue  to  other  qualities,  and  the  eyes  and  judg- 
ment of  buver  and  breeder  completing  the  data  whereby  to 
make  selections. 

Admission  into  the  American  Stud  Book  does  not  add  a 
dollar  to  the  value  further  than  it  affords  reliable  intelligence 
of  the  breeding.  Plenty  of  half-breds  incorporated,  as  all  the 
progeny  of  thoroughbred  mares  are  entitled  to  a  place. 
Should  the  compiler  resolve  that  in  all  future  volumes  none 
should  be  entered  excepting  those  which  had  twenty-five 
clear  crosses,  or  in  direct  maternal  line  from  the  "  royal 
mares,"  does  any  one  suppose  that  would  influence  pur- 
chasers ? 

Buyers  who  wanted  racehorses  would  choose  either  those 
which  could  race,  or  if  so  young  that  individual  speed  could 
not  be  ascertained,  then  near  kinship  to  those  which  had 
demonstrated  that  they  could  race.  Breeders  would  be 
guided  by  prices,  and  though  a  "fashionable  family"  of  the 
present  be  all  the  better  for  a  long  line  of  ancestors,  the  near 
by,  by  far  the  most  important.  Speed,  form  and  action  are 
more  closely  allied  in  gallopers  than  in  trotters,  and  there- 
fore winning  races  which  are  not  tests  of  ability  are  indica- 
tive of  other  good  points.  Now  by  more  judicious  selection, 
or  the  result,  perhaps,  of  accident,  the  best  form  is  found  in 
animals  of  short  pedigrees,  or  to  the  contrary,  and  whichever 
leads  will  secure  the  preference. 

There  are  very  many  examples  of  non-standard  mares 
proving  great  matrons,  founding  families  of  superior  excel- 
lence. With  the  standard  revised  there  would  be  more  of 
them,  and  hence  through  the  exclusion  of  blood  lines  from 
the  books  which  should  afford  information,  these  have  been 
lost  from  the  denial  of  registration.  Thus  a  mare  or  a  stal- 
lion which  would  have  been  eligible  under  the  old  rules  is 
thrown  out.  and  in  course  of  time  there  are  numerous  de- 
scendants of  the  very  highest  class.  Then  the  rejected  pedi- 
grees would  be  valuable,  but  owing  to  the  archives  being 
closed  to  their  admission  canrot  be  obtained. 

The  plea  that  registers  would  be  so  crowded  that  many 
bulky  volumes  would  be  required  to  contain  the  pedigrees  is 
not  sound.  So  long  as  the  fees  were  paid  the  association 
could  afford  to  grant  the  increased  space,  the  adoption  of  a 
less  cumbersome  system  would  present  five  times  the  number 
in  the  same  pages  so  that  purchasers  of  the  books  would  be 
better  served. 

*** 

The  Occidental — From  present  indications  there  are 
good  reasons  to  believe  that  by  the  time  the  first  meeting 
commences,  nearly  every  association  on  this  Coast  will  hold 
membership  in  the  Occidental,  The  toue  of  all  the  letters 
received  is  the  same  welcome  sound-unqualified  approval, 
preference  for  a  home  institution  expressed  with  an  empha- 
sis that  cannot  be  mistaken.  These  are  not  confined  to  Cali- 
fornia, as  words  of  encouragement  are  sent  from  all  sections 
of  the  country  embraced  in  the  territory  marked  out. 

I  have  not  the  least  hesitaliou  in  predicting  that  even  the 
highest  expectations  will  be  gratified.  Without  anticipating 
a  membership  which  will  be  comparable  to  those  which  have 
so  much  larger  field,  it  may  be  that  the  younger  and  smaller 
will  set  an  example  which  will  be  beneficial  to  the  light  har- 
ness horse  interests  of  the  whole  country. 

Until  the  next  annual  convention  the  rules  will  be  practi- 
cally the  same  as  those  of  the  Eastern  associations;  in  fact 
identical  excepting  some  changes  in  the  by-laws  which  do 
not  effect  the  working  of  the  rules. 

The  convention  in  1S95  will,  in  all  probability,  inaugurate 
something  in  the  way  of  needed  reform. 

There  is  one  thing  which  has  been  overlooked  heretofore, 
which  I  consider  of  importance,  viz  ,  giving  men  who  make 
a  business  of  training  and  driving  representation  and  thus 
enable  them  to  have  a  voice  in  making  laws  for  their  govern- 
ment.    Some  system  of  license  whereby  the  holders  of  certi-

ficates have  each  a  vote.  With  three  votes  to  an  associate 
member  and  one  to  every  licensed  driver,  those  who  are  the 
most  interested  in  making  and  enforcing  laws  will  be  fairly 
dealt  with.

Brother  to  Wayland  W.  and  Welcome  and  half- 
brother  to  Maud  Singleton.  A  letter  received  a  few  days 
ago  from  L.  H.  Mcintosh  of  Chico,  brings  the  information 
that  on  the  28th  of  April,  Lettie  by  Wayland  Forrest,  had  a 
bay  colt  by  Arthur  Wilkes.  This  means  that  he  bears  the 
above  relationship  to  the  horses  named  with  records,  2:18}, 
2:27i,  2:28A,  as  Letlie  has  that  trio  to  her  credit.  Then  the 
dam'of  Lettie,  Mary  by  Flaxtail,  is  the  dam  of  Apes,  2:26, 
of  Sterling  and  the  dam  of  Creole,  2:15;  and  Maud  Siogleton 
has  a  two-year-old  filly  by  Silver  Bow,  in  training  at  the 
Oakland  track,  which  gives  sufficient  indications  that  before 
long  she,  too,  will  have  a  place  in  the  list,  and  a  good  deal 
below  the  conventional  mark,  so  that  speed  appears  too  well 
established  in  the  family.  From  what  I  am  told  by  those 
who  saw  Wayland  W.  in  his  races,  he  is  likely  to  make  a 
very  low  mark  this  seasoD,  and  his  brother   Welcome  dead 

sure  to  lower  his  record.

Undeserved  Honor. — There  are  some  people  who  are 
honored  by  chastisement.  Recognition  of  any  kind  is  beyond 
their  deserts.  A  gentleman  loses  caste  when  he  demeans 
himself  by  entering  into  a  controversy  with  a  blackguard,  and 
even  a  kick  in  response  to  their  abuse  gives  a  higher  station  ; 
an  acknowledgement  that  they  are  worthy  of  that  much  at- 
tention. 

Praise  from  that  class  is  unqualified  censure;  abuse  an  evi- 
dence that  tbe  party  assailed  is  not  of  their  sort.  _  Association 
with  them  brings  degradation,  and  quasi  companionship  ends 
in  a  loss  of  respect. 

The  hobo  who  hangs  on  the  outskirts  of  the  turf  is  one  of 
the  worst  of  the  class. 

Be  he  what  he  may,  a  tout,  tipster,  or,  from  a  certain  facil- 
ity in  stringing  together  technicalities  of  the  sport,  calling 
himself  a  reporter,  or  it  may  be  joining  all  three  of  these 
avocations,  he  imposes  on  people  for  a  time,  but  not  long. 
Should  he  secure  a  detail  on  a  paper  of  standing  it  is  of  short 
duration,  "  fired  "  as  soon  as  he  gels  a  chance  to  display  his 
unworthiness,  and  though  be  mav  obtain  a  longer  job  it  is 
either  on  a  paper  which  share?  his  characteristics,  or  from 
managers  who  are  new  in  the  business.  California  has  been 
.fortunate  to  escape  the  plague  in  a  great  measure,  but  while 
tbe  Midwinter  Fair  brought  a  heterogeneous  mass  of  fakirs, 
it  can  hardly  be  charged  with  the  worst  importation.

ner,  driverless.  Three  times  did  she  make  the  entire  circuit 
of  the  track  and  then  darted  through  the  gate,  dashed  down 
the  shed  in  front  of  the  long  row  of  stalls,  smashed  up  a  tine 
buggy,  wrecked  a  sulky  belonging  to  John  Blue,  completely 
demolished  the  "  bike  "  to  which  she  was  hitched,  and  finally 
succeeded  in  tearing  to  shreds  the  harness  which  she  wore. 

Johnny  Blue  saye  he  does  not  mind  having  trotters  tear 
their  way  through  his  premises,  but  he  thinks  it  is  unfair  to 
hitch  gallopers  to  sulkies  and  turn  them  loose  to  demolish  his 
property.  He  also  says  that  it  is  likely  that  Mr.  Hogoboom 
will  Remember  Me. 

Sweetness,    Dam    of   Sidney. 


Mr.  Kyle's  "Forest  Leaves. ' 


One  of  the  great  broodmares  among  the  many  at  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm  is  Sweetness,  2:21},  by  Volunteer,  out  of 
Lady  Merritt,  by  Edward  Everett.  She  was  foaled  in  1871, 
the  property  of  George  Merritt,  Vails  Gate,  Orange  county. 
New  York,  and  was  brought  to  California  by  Monroe  Salis- 
bury. She  trctted  in  a  number  of  races  driven  by  John  A. 
Goldsmith,  and  at  Sacramento,  September  13,  1S82,  while 
the  great  Sidney,  her  first  foal,  was  a  little  over  a  year  old, 
she  got  a  record  of  2:21}.  She  was  bred  to  Romero,  2:19i. 
in  1883,  and  produced  a  gray  colt;  in  1885,  1886,  1887,  1888 
and  1S89  she  was  bred  to  Director,  the  brown  colt  Lavalard 
9234,  the  bay  mare  Grecian  Bend,  the  bay  colt  Saccharine 
and  another  bay  colt  whose  name  is  unknown  to  us  are  all 
that  are  living  of  these  unions. 

Wm.  Corbitt,  of  tbe  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm,  purchased 
her  in  1889  and  mated  her  that  year  with  Guy  Wilkes,  and 
the  large,  handsome,  chestnut  colt,  Jay  Wilkes,  2:35,  was 
the  result.  He  was  sold  a  year  ago  last  January  and  his  new 
owner  declared  he  was  the  fastest  and  best-gaited  horse  he 
ever  saw,  but.  unfortunately,  tbe  h^rse  sickened  and  died.  In 
1891  Sweetness  had  no  foal,  in  1892  her  colt  died  very  young 
The  old  mare  was  bred  to  Sable  Wilkes  but  missed;  then  she 
was  returned  to  Guy  Wilkes,  and  last  Tuesday  she  foaled  a 
splendid  bay  colt,  large  and  lusty -looking.  The  old  mare 
appears  to  be  in  better  condition  to-day  than  ever.  She  is  a 
little  hollow  backed  ;  this  would  naturally  come  with  age  and 
cares  of  maternity,  but  Mr.  Corbitt  says  he  thinks  her 
chances  for  breeding  this  year  are  better  than  they  have  been 
at  any  time  since  her  purchase.  Sweetness  was  one  of  the 
fastest  of  Volunteer's  daughters,  and  the  greatness  of  her 
eldest  son,  Sidney,  2:19J,  will  keep  her  memory  green  as  long 
as  trotting  horses  are  known.

Temperament    and  Breeding. 

Recently  some  thoughtful  writers  on  the  turf  press  have 
been  giving  their  experience  on  this  matter.  The  London 
Live  Stock  Journal  has  this  to  say  on  the  same  subject : 
"In  breeding  horses  there  are  other  things  to  consider  be- 
sides tbe  appearance  and  performance  of  sire  and  dam.  One 
of  the  most  important  of  these  is  temperament.  A  vicious 
and  ill-tempered  mare,  whatever  ber  good  points  may  be, 
should  never  be  retained  for  breeding  purposes.  Moral  qual- 
ities are  as  surely  transmitted  to  descendants  as  physical  feat- 
ures. A  vicious  broodmare  should  at  all  times  be  rejected. 
DeCurnieu,  a  French  authority,  rightly  says:  l  No  mare 
should  he  used  as  a  broodmare  uo less  she  is  perfectly  well 
known.'  If  she  has  any  vice  it  will  most  probably  be  perpet- 
uated, and  in  an  augmented  form,  especially  if  the  sire  has 
defects  of  a  kindred  nature.  It  is,  of  course,  equally  as 
important  that  the  tore  should  be  free  from  vice,  as  that  the 
the  dam  should  be  so.  As,  however,  it  is  difficult  to  ascertain 
the  temper  of  the  stallion,  whether  confined  to  his  own  stable 
or  traveling  the  country,  unless  he  has  displayed  his  bad 
temper  in  public,  the  greater  the  importance  of  breeding  only 
from  such  mares  as  are  not  actually  vicious  themselves,  and 
that  have  not  even  an  hereditary  taint  of  potential  wayward- 
ness and  ill-temper  in  their  constitutions.  Although  the 
produce  of  a  vicions  mare,  if  they  have  good  looks  and  free 
action  to  command  them,  may  be  sold  at  high  prices  as  un- 
broken colts,  no  one  should  attempt  to  breed  horses  for  his 
own  use  from  such  an  animal.  On  the  whole,  it  is  good 
policy  never  to  breed  from  such  mares." 

Contra  Costa  Fair. 


There  is  an  old  couplet  which  runs  something  like  this: 
"  Four  white  feet  and  a  white  nose. 
Strip  off  his  hide  and  give  him  to  the  crows." 

This  was  written  years  ago,  but  had  its  teachings  been  fol- 
lowed, tbe  Chicago  News  says,  the  2:10  trotting  list  would 
have  scarcely  a  representative  to-day.  Pocahontas  would 
never  have  produced  Tom  Rolfe,  hence  there  would  have 
been  no  Young  Rolfe,  2:21},  and  no  Nelson,  2:09. 

Theie  would  have  been  no  Rhodes  Mare  to  produce  a  Mam- 
brino  Patchen,  and  with  no  Mambrino  Patchen  there  would 
have  been  no  Alcaotara,or  Alcyone,  or  Guy  Wilkes,  or  Wilkes 
Boy,  or  William  L.,  or  Axtell,or  Allerton. 

There  would  have  been  no  Clara,  hence  no  Dexter,  2:17}, 
champion  trotter.  Neither  would  there  have  been  a  Dictator 
to  sire  a  Jay-Eve-^See,  2:10,  no  Director,  2:17,  to  get  a  Di- 
rectum, 2:05t,  and  Direct,  2:05£. 

There  would  have  been  no  Green  Mountain  Maid,  for  both 
her  sire  and  dam  had  four  white  feet  and  a  blaze  in  her  face. 
With  no  Green  Mountain  Maid  and  no  Electioneer  there 
would  have  been  no  Arion,  2:07^,  or  Sunol,  2:08},  or  Palo 
Alto,  2:08!,  and  no  Chimes  to  sire  a  Fantasy,  4,  2:08^. 

Lexington,  the  greatest  racehorse  of  his  day,  had  four 
white  feet  and  a  bl»ze  in  the  face.  So  had  the  great  trotting 
campaigners,  Dexter,  2:17},  Judge  Fullerton,  2:19,  and  Muta 
Wilkes,  2:11. 

Four  white  feet  and  a  blaze  in  the  face  may  not  be  de- 
sirable badges,  but  since  nearly  all  the  trotters  in  the  world 
of  extreme  speed  have  come  from  ancestors  with  those  marks, 
it  will  hardly  be  advisable  to  make  crow  bait  of  a  likely  colt 
or  filly  whose  whole  sole  defect  is  four  white  feet  and  a  white 
nose. 


Good  News  From  Oregon. 


The  Fair  Directors  of  Agricultural  District,  No.  23  (Contra 
Costa  county)  are  J.  E.  Durham,  G.  P.  Loucks,  H.  J.  Curry 
Geo.  Sellers,  H.  B.Elworthy,H.M.  Bush  and  Harvey  Bur- 
dell.  With  the  infusion  of  new  blood  into  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors we  confidently  look  for  an  increased  interest  in  our 
connty  fair,  and  expect  that  the  exhibition  of  county  produces 
this  fall  will  be  larger  and  better  than  ever  before.  The  di- 
rectors should  encourage  all  parts  of  the  county  to  make  a 
display  and  offer  extra  inducements  to  produce  to  exhibi- 
their  best. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  directors,  held  at  the  Fair  Grounds 
yesterday,  tbe  following  officers  were  elected  :  President, 
Harvey  Burdell ;  secretary.  F.  L.  Loucks;  treasurer,  H.  M. 
Bush.  A  committee  was  appointed  to  see  J.  C.  Galindo  and 
ascertain  if  additional  ground  cannot  be  obtained  to  enlarge 
and  improve  the  race  track.  A  discussion  was  had  in  favor  of 
reducing  the  price  of  admission  to  50  cents,  but  the  matter 
was  postponed  until  another  meeting.  We  think  this  is  a 
wise  step,  and  hope  the  directors  will  conclude  to  make  the 
reduction.  It  will  increase  the  attendance  and  possibly 
create  more  interest  in  tbe  fair.  The  directors  adjourned  un 
til  next  Wednesday  to  hear  report  of  above  committee.—

Never  in  the  history  of  Oregon  has  there  been  a  brighter 
outlook  for  crops  of  all  kind-  -fruits,  graiD,  hay  and  vegeta- 
bles. Crops  seem  trying  to  outdo  one  another  in  abundance. 
Such  good  tbiogs  coming  from  all  over  our  State  makes  the 
farmer,  the  merchant,  fhe  mechanic  and  all  feel  buoyant  in 
expectation  of  good  times  this  year.  The  horsemen  here,  as 
most  everywhere  else,  feel  the  depression  first,  but  there 
seems  to  be  a  bright  light  shining  for  them  in  the  near  fu- 
ture. Very  few  of  the  best  mares  only  were  bred  here  last 
season,  and  there  seems  to  be  the  same  spirit  prevailing  this 
year.  Stallions  that  are  able  to  go  out  and  earn  money  on 
the  circuit  are  being  trained,  and  wiih  few  exceptions  the 
rest  are  either  being  castrated  or  turned  out  in  a  paddock. 
This  will  make  more  prominent  the  stallion  capable  of  be- 
ing termed  a  trotter  by  his  performances  and  relegate  ro  the 
surgeon's  knife  those  who  have  not  the  individual  worth  to 
be  classed  in  this  category.  Certainly  the  drop  off  in  breed- 
ing will  give  us  a  better  horse,  for  we  are  only  breeding  the 
better  class  of  mares.  The  racing  outlook  for  Portland  was 
never  better.  The  liberal  purses  offered  have  stimulated  the 
horsemen  all  over  the  State,  and  there  is  a  larger  and  better 
class  of  horses  in  training  than  ever  before, 

Portland  is  preparing  for  the  grandest  race  meeting  ever 
held,  for  tbe  horses  in  sight  insure  us  contests  that  will  work 
a  new  epoch  in  racing  here.  I  will  give  you  a  list  of  those 
in  training  in  my  next

H.  Hogoboom's  Fayorite  Trotter  Develops  Into 

a  Runner. 


An  exciting  runaway  broke  the  dull  monotony  of  events 
at  the  race  track  yesterday,  says  the  Woodland  Mail.  H. 
Hogoboom  was  driving  bis  spirited  trotter  Remember  Me  to 
a  light  6ulky,  when  the  animal,  from  some  unknown  cause, 
became  frightened,  and  suddenly  developed  into  a  galloper. 
Mr.  Hogoboom  was  thrown  violently  to  the  ground,  and  his 
favorite  trotter  now  began  a  wild  career  as  a  full-fledged  run- 


To  The  Public. 


A  report  having  gained  circulation  that  we  have  appointed 
John  Eaeferbrook  starter  for  our  spring  and  fall  meeting,  we 
wish  to  state  to  the  horsemen  and  public  generally,  that  such 
is  not  the  case.  We  have  not  engaged  any  one  yet,  but  when 
we  do  he  will  be  one  well  qualified  for  the  position  and  one 
who  will  give  satisfaction  to  the  horsemen,  patrons  of  the 
race  track  and  the  general  public  alike.

If  poetry  be  that  quality  of  thought  and  sentiment  which 
arouses  the  feelings  and  emotions, and  enchains  the  mind,  leav 
ing  a  lasting  effect  upon  the  memory,  a  picture  clear  and  His  " 
tinct,  then  Charles  Wesley  Kyle's  verses  which  havejust  been 
published  under  the  very  appropriate  title  of  "Forest  Leaves 
and  Other  Poems  "  is  justly  entitled  to  take  high  rank  as  true 
poetry.  Mr.  Kyle  is  a  close,  as  well  as  a  wide  observer  of 
Nature.  The  authorship  of  such  a  masterpieceas  ''The  An- 
them of  the  Hills"  is  enough  to  entitle  bis  name  to  be  placed 
among  those  of  the  best  writers  of  verse  in  our  language.  It 
is  a  description  of  morning,  from  the  lime  when  first  the  gray- 
ish light  "appeared  as  it  the  moon,  new-born,  had  fallen 
from  the  skies  and  caught,  with  points  down-turned,  upon  a 
mountain's  brow  to  eastward,"  to  the  glory  of  the  perfect  day. 
The  lingering  shadows,  the  shifting  scenes  depending  from 
cloud  and  peak,  the  tintings  of  the  mi  t,  and  the  kissing  of 
the  dew  to  pearls;  the  waking  wind*,  and  song  of  birds  to- 
gether with  the  myriad  chaoges  which  mark  the  birth  of 
day,  are  set  forth  in  this  poem,  with  exquisite  taste  and  finish. 
The  poems  entitled  "The  Destruction  of  Pompeii,"  "Alpha 
and  Omega"  "and  "Brambles  and  Corn"  are  notable  ex- 
amples of  the  author's  power  of  description  and  dramatic 
force  also. 

The  faculty  of  producing  perfect  word  pictures  is  rarely  to 
be  met  with,  but  many  striking  examples  of  this  charm  are 
to  be  found  in  this  volume,  notably  in  the  poem  : — "Evening 
on  Mt.  Whitney,"  "The  Woodnymph,"  "The  Death  of 
Summer,"  "  The  Seasons,"  and  "The  Dryad's  Chamber," 
with  many  others  ofa  like  nature,  attest  the  delicacy  and  scope 
of  the  autbor's  imagination.  In  these  poems  tbe  rythm  is  in 
accord  with  the  sentiment,  and  form  a  musical  expression 
pleasing  and  harmonious.  For  instance,  the  following  lines 
from  "  The  Seasons  :" 

"  Trust  and  Truth  with  Summer  confer, 
Coming  down  through  a  golden  sky ; 

Bridle  and  reins  of  gossamer. 
Riding  a  goreeons  butterfly  ! 

Filling  the  air  with  odors  sweet. 
From  flowery  censers  swinging  free  ; 

Lady-slippers  encase  her  feet — 
Her  song  the  soul  of  harmony. 

Brushing  the  gold  from  offher  wings 

Upon  the  hills  and  waving  grain  ; 
Blessing  nil  with  the  gifts  she  flings 

Freely  from  offher  magic  train. 
With  languorous  ease  she  flits  along. 

Or  rests  in  the  shade  of  spreading  tree, 
Content  to  list  to  the  drowsy  song 

Of  the  buzzing  fly  or  humble  bee." 

And  these  from  "  The  Dryad's  Chamber  :" 

"  I  know  a  magic  chamber  where 

The  Queen  of  all  the  fairies  dwells, 
Within  the  mountains  where  the  air 

Is  perfumed  by  the  asphodels; 
Where  blue-bells  ring  their  sweetest  chimes, 

At  morn,  at  noon,  at  twilight  dim  ; 
Where  tbe  arbutus  clings  and  climbs. 

And  waters  voice  a  constant  hymn." 

The  streams,  the  lakes,  the  wooded  hills,  the  verdured  val- 
leys as  well  as  the  snow-capped  mountains,  with  their  mani- 
fold changes.have  been  subjects  closely  studied  by  Mr.  Kvle. 
Through  all  bis  verses  run  such  a  spirit  of  feeling  as  to  render 
them  most  interesting  to  the  reader.  The  lovers  of  tbe  gun 
and  rod  will  find  much  in  this  volume  of  great  interest  to 
them. 

The  trout  streams,  the  beauty  of  the  dog  when  scenting  the 
game,  and  almost  every  feature  of  sports  afield  is  touched 
upon,  proving  the  author's  love  for  all  such  recreations. 
There  is  also  a  directness  and  frankness  of  expression  in  his 
verses  which  shows  that  Mr.  Kyle  writes  only  of  that  which 
he  feels  and  knows,  and  this  conviction  greatly  enhances  the 
reader's  interest.  Some  of  his  poems  are  too  short  to  satisfy, 
leaviog  much  that  would  add  to  their  interest  if  more  were 
expressed. 

Tbe  poem  entitled  "  Song  of  the  Sierras  "  shows  a  breadth 
of  comprehension  commensurate  to  the  thesis,  making  of  it 
a  poem  of  rare  strength  and  beauty.  "  On  The  Bay,"  "  A 
California  Autumn,"  "The  Tomb  of  Helen  Hunt  Jackson," 
and  "  California's  Old  Year,"  are  instances  showing  a  close 
study  and  analysis  of  the  impressions  which  the  various  scenes 
of  nature  make  upon  an  observant  mind  such  as  his. 

Evidencing  this  feeling  are  the  following  lines  from  "Chey- 
enne Canon :'" 

"  Who  am  I  ?    What  is  this  I  see  ? 

An  inner  world  I  ne'er  have  known? 

The  soul  of  some  sweet  mystery, 

Comes  o'er  me  here  with  thee  alone  ; 

A  voiceless  spirit  wings  the  glen — 

Soul  of  the  mountain  of  Cheyenne  ! 

Here,  in  thy  shadows,  soft  winds  creep. 

And  tall  pines  pierce  the  mellow  sky ; 

The  golden-fingered  willowB  weep. 

And  silver  streamlets  murmnr  by  ; 

A  hush  falls  on  the  lips  of  men 

Within  thy  aisles,  oh  !  grand  Cheyenne  !" 

The  longer  poems  are  "The  Angels  of  Shiloh  "  and  "The 
Lovers  of  Shiloh,"in  which  the  author  pays  a  glowing  tribute 
to  the  noble,  self-sacrificing  women, who, upon  the  battle-field, 
did  all  that  human  power  could  do  to  assuage  the  sufferings 
of  the  wounded  on  that  memorable  occasion.  These  two 
poems  are  full  of  pathos  and  are  of  exceptional  merit. 

Under  the  caption  :  "  Blossoms  and  Briers,"  appear  numer- 
ous poems  of  the  affections  and  passions,  many  of  them  be- 
ing of  the  most  touching  nature.  Tbe  following  stanza  from 
"  Those  Eyes  of  Brown"  breathes  a  depth  of  feeling,  and  is 
noticeable  for  its  musical  completeness. 

"  In  all  the  world  there  is  but  one 
Pair  of  eyes  of  brown. 
That  are  more  beauteous  than  tbe  sun 

When  it  goes  down. 
They  shine  at  mora,  at  noon,  at  night, 

Always  for  me. 
With  love's  entrancing,  trustful  light 
Of  harmony." 

The  work  is  one  of  the  handsomest  ever  issued  in  the  West, 
being  a  superb  specimen  of  the  printer's  art,  and  will  com- 
pare favorably  with  the  best  works  to  be  found  anywhere.

Directum  got  out  of  his  stall  on  Sunday  evening  at  12 
o'clock,  and  was  not  caught  until  the  next  morning,  none  the 
worse  for  his  escapade.  Whether  his  escape  was  the  result 
of  carelessness  in  fastening  his  stall  door,  or  a  desire  on  the 
part  of  some  one  to  give  the  horse  a  little  run  at  pasture  will 
probably  never  be  known.

Racing  at  Los  Gatos. 


Los  Gatos,  May  1.— The  May  Day  meet  of 
theLosGalos  Driving  Association,  which  was 
held  od  the  half-mile  track  this  afternoon, 
was  a  most  tlatttering  success  in  every  partic- 
ular. The  races  were  scheduled  to  come  ofl 
at  1  o'clock,  but  owing  to  the  great  crowds 
which  came  pouring  in  through  the  gales 
the  first  event  was  deferred  until  nearly  an 
hour  later.  Fully  two  thousand  people 
were  in  attendance,  many  being  pres- 
ent from  San  Jose,  Saratoga,  Camp- 
bell, Alma,  Wrights  and  even  more  dis- 
tant places.  Hall,  if  not  three-quarters,  of  the 
association's  patrons  came  by  conveyance, 
and  the  sides  of  the  trcck  for  a  radius  of  a 
hundred  yards  on  both  sides  of  the  judges' 
stand  was  fairly  choked  bv  vehicles  of  every 
description.  At  the  tap  of  the  bell,  about  2 
o'clock,  by  President  Fen  Massol,  the  starting 
judge,  the  following  horses  got  away  iu  the 
first  event — a  srolting  and  pacing  race,  mile 
heats,  best  two  in  three:  W.  B.  Rankins'  b  g 
Monte.  L.  C.  Trailer's  b  m  Mystery  and  R.  C. 
Johnston's  b  g  Mack.  The  result  was  two 
straight  heats  in  2:48  and  2:44}  for  the  pacer 
Monte. 

The  second  race,  a  ruoningsweepstake,  free 
for  all,  one  quarter  mile  and  repeat.  Rankin 
again  won  with  his  s  g  Red  Rock  in  two  heats 
of  0:27  3  5  and  0:20,  beating  a  field  composed 
of  A.  S.  Hanks' b  m  Pussita  and  McCarthy's 
b  %  John  F.  Will  Stephen,  of  San  Jose,  rode 
the  winning  Red  Rock,  and  demonstrated  his 
ability  to  "  get  there  "  by  some  very  neat  work 
astride  the  gelding. 

The  third  event  was  a  trotting  and  pacing 
race,  mile  heats,  best  two  in  three,  and  was 
won  by  H.  C  Cox's  b  h  Wait-a- Little  in 
straight  heats  in  lime  of  2:35}  and  2:39$. 
This  was  the  prettiest  race  of  the  meeting, 
Wait-a-Little  downing  H.  D.  Albright's  b  h 
Alpheus  Wilkes,  Harry  Finlay's  s  h  Jim  L. 
and  C.  P.  Bunch's  Dick. 

The  fourth  racing  contest,  a  trotting  and 
pacing  event  in  mile  heats,  resulted  in  R.  C. 
Johnston's  b  m  Alma  Wonder  carrying  off  the 
prize  in  2:46  in  the  first  heat.  In  the  second 
Rankin's  Betsey  R.  forged  ahead  near  the 
half-mile  post  and  came  in  ahead,  but  was 
declared  not  entitled  to  the  heat  by  the  judges 
on  account  of  a  foul,  thus  giving  the  race  to 
Alma  Wonder. 

The  fifth  and  closing  race  of  the  dav  was  a 
free-for-all  running  sweepstakes,  one-half  mile 
and  repeat,  in  which  there  were  four  entries : 
O.  Appleby's  g  g  Stoneman,  A.  F.  PofFs  May 
Pritchard.  B.  Cosgrove's  Carmel  and  W.  B. 
Rankin's  s  g  Red  Roek.  Carmel  took  both 
heats  in  53 -i  seconds  each,  Stoneman  being  a 
good  second.  In  this  race  Red  Rock,  who 
made  a  bee-line  over  the  half-mile  course 
while  warming  up,  much  against  the  jockey's 
will,  was  distance. 

The  races  today  were  the  most  successful 
of  any  yet  held  by  the  association. — Mercury.

Horse-owners  would  do  well  to  build  up  the  stakes  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair  Grounds.  In  future  years 
the  stakes  at  St.  Louis  will  be  at  least  as  valuable  as  those  of  any  Association  in  the  country. 

Horsemen  making  entries  to  stakes  will  of  course  have  preference  in  the  matter  of  stable-room  over 
those  who  do  not  mske  state  entries. 

Last  year  306  races  were  run  at  the  Fair  Grounds,  aud  more  than  8150.000  was  distributed  among 
horse-owners.  This  year  those  figures  will  most  likely  be  exceeded.  Enter  liberally  in  the  stakes  as  a 
business  proposition.

DIRECT,  2:051-2. 

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Tenn.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:0S|,  and  two  miles  at  StocktOD, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27},  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ?

This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth, elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  aud  explains  lu  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  aud  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaklug,  training,  shoeing,  galtlug,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  ol 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft.and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  aud 
developeto  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  coif 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  impressed  me

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


TWENTY-FOCBTH  DAT — FFIDAT,  MAT  4. 

k  HE  caliber  of  the  contestants  was 
better  by  far  to-day  and  there  was  a 
great  increase  in  the  number  of  en- 
tries as  well.  Glorious  weather,  a 
fast  track  and  an  excellent  card 
brought  a  very  fair  crowd  to  the 
old  track,  and  some  good  racing  was 
witnessed.  Again  the  talent  was 
cast  into  a  slough  of  icy  consomme, 
four  first  choices  meeting  with  de- 
feat and  the  ;lone  winning  favorite 
being  at  odds-on.  Form-players  fell  especially  hard  on 
Rear  Guard  and  Sympathetic's  Last.  De  Bracey  bids  fair  to 
become  another  Morello.  He  gave  a  lot  of  weight  and  a 
handy  beating  to  Gussie,  Lovdal  (a  favorite)  and  Romulus, 
and  ran  the  seven  furlongs  in  the  good  time  of  1:28J. 

The  surprise  extraordinary  of  the  day  was  in  the  first  race. 
Rear  Guard  waited  on  Red  Rose  until  the  homestretch  was 
reached,  then  he  said  good-bye  and  looked  a  winner  all  over 
for  a  time.  About  a  sixteenth  from  home  Ohula,  at  12  to  1 
shot,  developed  an  alarming  burst  of  speed,  and  in  a  twink- 
ling had  shot  past  the  favorite.  In  a  rousing  drive  the  filly 
that  generally  quit  in  the  straight  failed  to  quit  worth  a  cent, 
and  the  best  Rear  Guard  could  do  was  finish  a  head  behind 
the  long  shot  Gold  Dust  beat  Red  Rose  ahead  for  the  show. 
It  is  understood  Chula's  owner  had  lost  faith  in  the  filly  to 
auch  an  extent  that  he  did  not  wagera-dollar  on  her  chances. 
The  Midlothian-Marigold  filly,  an  odds-on  favorite,  got 
away  well,  and  was  not  headed  on  the  journey  of  half  a  mile, 
which  she  accomplished  in  0:49*.  Gallant  ran  second 
throughout,  beating  the  40-to-l  shot,  Kitty  L  ,  four  lengths 
for  the  place. 

Orizaba,  seventh  away,  was  first  at  the  quarter  in  the  mile 
race  bv  a  length,  under  a  pull,  and  won  in  a  gallop  by  four 
lengths,  Seaside  getting  the  place  by  a  head  from  Blue  and 
White  because  Chevalier  rode  by  far  the  strongest  finish. 
Sympathetic's  Last,  the  heavily  played  favorite,  got  away 
first  and  ran  a  dog  race.  Orizaba  was  at  5  to  1  in  the  betting. 
Lovdal  was  played  for  |all  kinds  oi  money  in  the  seven- 
furlong  handicap.  He  got  away  in  front,  but  Gussie,  last  at 
the  fall  of  the  flag,  soon  headed  him,  and  she  and  Romulus 
fought  some  to  the  homestretch.  De  Bracey  was  cut  loose  in 
the  straight,  and  won  like  a  rare  good  race  horse  should  in 
the  fast  time  of  1:28J.  Gussie  finished  second,  half  a  length 
behind  him,  and  ran  a  good  race  herself.  Romulus  beat  Lov- 
dal a  nose  for  the  show. 

North  captured  the  last  race  of  the  day  quite  easily,  run- 
ning fourth  until  reaching  the  homestretch,  Border  Lassie 
leading  up  to  the  last  one  hundred  yards,  and  beating 
Artist  a  head  for  the  place.  Guard  looked  very  dangerous  at 
the  last  turn,  but  only  finished  fourth.

Rear  Guard  was  a  warm  favorite  at  7  to  5.  Red  Rose  and 
Nellie  Van  were  at  7  to  1  each,  Chula  and  Joe  Hooker  Jr. 
12  each,*he  others  from  15  to  50  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  the  order 
was  Red  Rose,  Roanoke,  Shamrock,  Gold  Dust.  At  the  half- 
pole  Red  Rose  was  leading  Shamrock  a  small  margin,  Rear 
Guard  well  up.  Red  Rose  led  into  the  homestretch  by  half 
a  length,  Rear  Guard  second,  as  far  from  Shamrock.  Rear 
Guard  looked  very  much  a  winner  at  the  last  sixteenth.  Here 
Chula  ran  out  of  the  bunch  as  if  shot  out  of  a  cannon,  and 
joining  issue  with  Rear  Guard  sixty  yards  of  the  finish,  beat 
him  home  in  a  drive  by  a  head.  Rear  Guard,  second,  beat 
Gold  Dust  three  lengths  for  the  place.     Time,  l:02f .

Charity  Colt  15,  Ernest  20,  the  others  40  to  1  each.  To  a 
good  start  Marigold  filly,  Gallant,  Milroy  was  the  order. 
Marigold  filly  led  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  by  a  length, 
Gallant  next,  a  neck  before  Milroy,  who  led  Flirtilla  three 
lengths.  Marigold  filly  and  Gallant  drew  away  several 
lengths  in  the  homestretch,  and  half  a  length  apart  ran  up 
to  the  last  100  yards,  where  the  chestnut  filly  drew  away 
and  won  by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Gallant  second,  four 
lengths  from  Kitty  L.,  who  had  made  a  great  run  down  the 
straight.  Time,  0:49i.'  The  Three  Cheers— Charity  Colt

at  6,  closed  at  4  to  1.  Orizaba  was  at  5  to  1,  Seaside  and 
Alexis  7  tol  each,  Ryland  12,  Blue  and  White  15  and  Vice- 
roy 30  to  1.  Sympathetic's  Last,  Viceroy,  Blue  and  White, 
Seaside  was  the  order  to  a  good  start.  Orizaba  led  at  the 
quarter  under  a  pull,  by  a  length,  Blue  and  White  second,  a 
head  from  Viceroy.  Seaside  had  been  taken  back  seventh 
and  Nutwood  was  last.  At  the  half  Orizaba  was  still  one 
length  to  the  good,  Viceroy  second,  a  bead  from  Ryland,  Sea- 
side fourth.  Orizaba  drew  away  fast  going  the  next  quarter, 
and  led  into  the  homestretch  by  four  lengths,  Alexis  second, 
half  a  length  from  Seaside.  Orizaba  was  not  headed,  and 
won  in  a  gallop  by  four  lengths.  Seaside  and  Blue  and 
White  bad  a  sharp  tussle  for  place,  Chevalier  riding  like  a

[Winner  trained  by  Frank  Van  Neas.  I 

Lovedal  was  the  real  favorite,  at  2  to  1  at  the  close.  The 
Elkton  Stable  (De  Bracey  and  Trix)  was  at  2  to  1  (backed 
down  from  2}),  Gussie  3A  and  Romalus  5  to  1.  Lovdal,  De 
Bracey,  Trix,  Romulus,  Gussie  was  the  order   to  a  very  fair 


start.  Gussie  ran  up  rapidly,  and  led  passing  the  quarter  by 
a  length,  Trix  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  Romulus. 
Gussie  was  two  lengths  to  the  good  at  the  half,  Trix  a  bead 
in  front  of  Romulus,  at  his  heels  Lovedal,  De  Bracey  last. 
Romulus  was  gaining  fast  on  Gussie  as  they  flew  around  the 
final  turn,  and  shouts  went  op  that  the  Brutus  colt  would 
win.  Gussie  stuck  gamely  to  her  work,  however,  and  Romu- 
lus could  not  quite  head  her.  De  Bracey  had  moved  up  third 
at  the  three-quarter  pole,  and  Madison  cut  him  loose  as  he 
straightened  out  .for  home.  One  hundred  yards  from  the 
finish  it  looked  as  if  Gussie  would  win,  but  the  great  son  of 
St.  Saviour  came  like  a  Kansas  cyclone  at  the  end,  and  won 
cleverly  by  half  a  length,  Gussie  second,  a  trifle  over  a  length 
from  Romulus,  who  beat  Lovdal  a  nose  for  the  show.  Time, 
1:28}.

mand at  4  to  1 ;  Artist,  Guard  and  Border  Lassie  were  5-to-l 
shots.  Inferno  was  at  10,  Monarch  15,  Comrade  20  and  Du- 
rango  75  to  1.  Artist,  Border  Lassie,  North,  Guard  was  the 
the  order  at  the  flag-fall.  Border  Lassie  was  in  front  in  the 
first  fifty  yards,  and  led  passing  the  half  pole  by  half  a  length, 
Artist  second,  a  length  from  North,  Guard  at  the  latter^ 
heels.  Guard  ran  up  third,  about  two  lengths  from  Border 
Lassie  and  Artist,  about  three  furlongs  from  home.  In  the 
homestretch  Border  Lassie  was  still  half  a  length  to  the  good, 
North  coming  fast  on  the  outside.  About  one  hundred  yards 
of  the  finish  North  had  got  on  level  terms  with  Border  Las- 
sie, and  he  galloped  in  an  easy  winner  by  one  and  a  half 
lengths.  Border  Lassie,  under  strong  urgiDg,  beating  Artist  a

TWENTY-FIFTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  MAY  5. 

A  good  day's  sport.  That  was  the  verdict  of  most  of 
those  that  repaired  to  Bay  District  track  this  afternoon, 
and  about  3,000  repaired.  Speaking  of  repairing,  the  bank  ac- 
counts of  the  bookies  needed  some  badly  after  the  long  inning 
of  the  talent.  In  four  out  of  the  five  events  the 
favorite  w  on,  and  in  the  remaining  race  a  strong 
second  choice  wss  successful.  The  track  had  been  har- 
rowed up  somewhat,  and  consequently  was  not  at  its 
fastest,  the  time  made  therefore  being  excellent.  Belli- 
coso  won  the  Flash  Stakes,  five  furlongs  in  1:02  (timed  a 
trifle  faster  by  several  horsemen),  with  Storm  Cloud  Wilfeius 
looking  back  at  Bellicoso's  pursuers  with  a  Can't-Catch-Me, 
Charley  smile.  That  the  grand  bay  colt  could  have  gone  a 
bit  faster  is  certain.  Owner  Burk  and  Trainer  Mason  were 
as  happy  as  clams  in  high  water,  feeling  a  pardonable  pride 
in  the  possession  of  the  best  two-year-old  showu  thus  far 
this  season  on  the  Pacific  Coast  beyond  perad  venture,  one 
that  has  a  world  of  stakes  to  conquer  on  the  other  side  of  the 
Rockies  and  the  weapons  and  power  to  force  submission  to 
his  prowess.  The  gentlemen's  mile  race  was  marred  some- 
what  by  the  actions  of  Talbot  Clifton,  who,  with  two  others 
(Messrs.  Norwood  and  Fuller)  imagined  that  a  start  had  been 
effected  and  sent  their  horses  about  half  a  mile  at  their  beat 
speed.  The  first-named  two  dismounted  near  the  five-eighths 
pole,  and  led  their  horses  a  considerable  distance,  delaying 
matters  for  quite  a  time.  Clifton  strutted  through  the  crowd 
with  an  angry  look  on  his  face,  and  ran  up  into  the  judges' 
stand.  He  claimed  a  start  had  been  made  and  that  the  flag 
had  been  dropped.  When  informed  that  he  was  mistaken  he 
delivered  himself  of  some  language  more  pointed  than 
elegant  and  refused  to  ride  the  race  out,  whereupon  he  was 
ruled  off  for  life.  All  bets  were  declared  off  and  a  new  book 
made  on  the  race.  A  number ofEnglishmen  on  the  grounds 
declared  themselves  ashamed  of  the  actions  of  their  country- 
man; who  appeared  to  rather  enjoy  being  ruled  offthao  other- 
wise. 

Fly  got  away  last  but  on  the  fly  in  the  first  event,  and  was 
first  in  the  first  sixty  yards.     He  was  not  thereafter  headed,

a  poor  third.     The  horses  finished  as  they  were  backed. 

Tillie  S.  led  all  the  way  in  the  second  race,  about  six  fur- 
longs, but  it  took  her  life  almost  to  win  bv  half  a  length  from 
Boston  Boy.  .Jennie  Deane,  who  ran  third, got  away  po  irly, 
or  she  might  have  won  the  race. 

BeHicoso  won  the  Flash  Stakes  a>  he  pletsed,  and  Mon- 
terey came  like  a  Hash  at  the  end  and  nipped  the  place  from 
Key*  Ufonso.  Malo  Diablo  finished  fourth  and  Pal  Murphy 
fifth.     Hodel  was  never  prominent. 

Thoruhill,  Agitato  and  Zobair  ran  very  close  together  in 
the  handicap  until  neariqg  the  homestretch,  when  Thoruhill 
fell  back,  Hotspur  moved  up  ami  Zobair  assumed  a  command 
he  did  not  relinquish,  though  closely  pressed  by  Hotspur  the 
last    sixteenth  of  a  mile.     .Sir  Keel  finished  a  poor  third. 

Gilead,  an  even-money  favorite  after  all  bets  had  been  de- 
clared ofi"  and  Dr.  Ross  withdrawn,  got  awav  third,  and  was 
third  to  the  first  turn,  where  Forsland  cleverly  brought  tha 
St.  Saviour  colt  close  against  the  rails,  cutting  oil' a  couple  of 
lengths.  Gilead  soon  went  to  the  fore,  and  leading  by  a 
length  at  the  quarter  and  half  and  three  lengths  into  the 
homestretch,  won  by  less  than  a  length  from  old  Gladiator, 
who  was  coming  like  a  shot  at  the  end  under  Eddie  Graney's 
strong  urging.  Nicodemus  got  the  show,  well  ridden  by 
Lynn  Austin,  of  LosGatos.  Forsland  rode  Gilead  with  ex* 
cellent  judgement  throughout,  and  the  race  was  not  in  doubt 
after  they  had  gone  half  a  mile.

rapidly  from  the  middle  of  the  bunch, and  was  second, a  length

After  bets  were  declared  ofi"  owing  to  Talbot  Clifton's  ac- 
tions, detailed  above,  Gilead  (who  had  been  at  2  to  1  for  a 
moment)  was  made  an  even-money  favorite.  Nicodemus 
opened  at  S  to  5,  receded  to  11  to  5.  Gladiator  was  at  2|  to 
1  (opened  at  21,  True  Briton  20,  Sir  Alfred  and  Ofi"  Wheeler 
30  to  1  each.  A  fair  start  was  effected.  The  order  was 
Gladiator,  Nicodemus,  Gilead,  Sir  Alfred.  At  the  first  turn 
Gladiator  and  Nicodemus,  who  were  running  head  and  about 
two  lenghtsin  front  of  Gilead,  went  wide,  and  Forsland.  with 
Garrison-l;ke  perception,  moved  his  horse  through  the  open- 
ing, close  against  the  rails,  gaining  nearly  two  lengths  by  the 
operation.  In  a  twinkling  he  had  Gilead  to  the  fore.  At 
the  quarter  it  was  Gilead  first  by  a  length,  Gladiator  second, 
half  a  length  from  Nicodemus.  At  the  half  Forsland,  lean- 
ing well  forward,  was  sitting  still,  and  Gilead  was  still  a 
length  to  the  good.  Austin  had  moved  up  with  Nicodemus, 
who  was  nose  and  nose  with  Gladiator.  As  they  neared  the 
five  furlong  poleForsland  was  sending  Gile?d  along  fast,  and 
Nicodemus,  Austin's  slave,  was  being  called  upon  to  do  or 
die.  Gladiator  was  soon  many  lengths  behind  Nicodemus, 
but  Gilead  was  first  as  they  straightened  for  home  by  three 
good  lengths.  In  the  homestretch  Graney  urged  Gladiator 
hard,  and  he  responded  so  nobly  that  Gilead  won  by  less 
than  a  length,  while  Nicodemus,  at  his  heels,  had  to  be  con- 
tent with  third  place.  Time,  1:48$ — a  very  creditable  mile 
for  a  three  year-old  with  146  pounds  up,  especially  as  the 
horses  were  a  long  lime  at  the  post.  Had  Graney  made  his 
move  with  Gladiator  a  little  earlier  we  would  have  seen  a 
most  exeitirg  race. 

TWENTY-SIXTH    DAT — TUESDAY,    MAY   S. 

Nine  bookmaking  firms  reaped  a  rich  harvest  this  truly 
beautiful  day.  Four  favorites  chewed  the  cud  of  defeat  The 
card  was  a  pretty  fair  ( ne,  but  the  attendance  was  scarcely 
up  to  the  mark  of  the  past,  for  some  reason.  Throughout  the 
time  made  was  excellent,  the  track  being  at  its  best.  In 
three  of  the  five  events  the  finishes  were  on  the 
thrilling  order,  and  a  good  day's  sport  was  had, 
even  if  the  talent  was  scowled  on  darkly  by  Dame 
Fortune.  Chevalier  rode  two  winners  (Chevalier  and 
Remus),  E.  Jones,  Madison  and  L.  Lloyd  the  remaining  vic- 
tors. All  the  boys  mentioned  above  did  excellent  work,  but 
if  our  race-goers  saw  any  worse  rides  than  Coombs  put  on 
Gordius  or  Burns  on  Chemuck  it  would  require  consider- 
able study  to  think  where  they  witnessed  such  an  exhibition 
of  horsemanship. 

Victory,  the  favorite,  ofi  second,  shot  to  the  front  in  the 
first  couple  of  strides,  was  not  headed,  and  won  from  the 
wretchedly  ridden  Gordius  by  about  three  parts  of  a  length, 
with  the  latter  gaining  very  fast  at  every  stride.  Gordius 
was  fifth  away,  and  ran  up  fourth  at  the  final  turn.  It  was 
not  over  eighty  yards  from  the  finish,  when  Victory  was  fully 
four  lengths  to  the  good,  that  Coombs  made  any  sort  of  drive 
with  Gordius,  and  the  way  Gordius  eat  up  the  space  separat- 
ing him  from  Victory  was  truly  amazing.  Had  the  move 
been  made  twenty  yards  further  back  Gordius  would  surely 
have  won  the  race.  As  it  was,  a  lot  of  the  money  of  the  owner 
and  his  friends  was  burned  up  by  a  sleepy  pilot,  who  deserves 
a  medal  for  slupidity  on  this  ride. 

In  the  second  race  Monterey  got  away  first  and  well  on  his 
stride,  and  though  Gallant,  fourth  away,  made  a  gallant  run 
in  the  homestretch,  he  could  not  catch  Monterey,  who  was  a 
bandy  winner  by  a  length.  Flirtilla,  a  60  to  1  shot,  finished 
third. 

Chevalier  won  the  third  race  by  a  short  head  from  Lonnie 
B.,  Pat  Murphy  another  eyebrow  behind,  lapped  by  Morven. 
Murphy  led  up  to  the  last  stride,  Chevalier  timing  the  finish 
to  a  nicety  on  his  namesake.  Lonnie  B.  was  all  but  last 
turning  into  the  homestretch,  where  she  made  a  grand   run. 

Remus,  a  5  to  1  shot,  led  nearly  all  the  way  in  the  mile, 
and  won  in  a  canter  by  eight  good  lengths,  Alexis  getting  the 
place  and  Comrade  the  show.  Burlingame  nulled  Sympa- 
thetic^ Last  up  about  eighty  yards  of  the  finish. 

Banjo,  at  10  to  1  in  the  betting,  ran  nearly  last  to  the 
homestretch,  where  there  was  a  general  bunching  up.  Jen- 
nie Deane  and  Banjo  drove  out  the  last  seventy-five  yards  for 
first  money,  Barjo  beating  the  filly  a  nose.  Ravine  was  a 
fair  third.  Burns  rode  Chemuck  badly  in  this  race.

Prince  Idle,  Mendocino.  At  the  half  Victory  led  by  two 
lengths,  Tornado  second,  lapped  by  Prince  Idle,  at  whose 
heels  was  Mend»cino.  Victory,  with  clear  sailing,  led  by 
four  lengths  as  they  turned  into  the  straight,  Mendocino,  Tor- 
nado and  Gordius  half  lengths  apart  as  named.  Gordius  ran 
up  second  about  a  sixteenth  from  homo,  and  Coombs  weDt  to 
work  on  him  about  seventy-five  yards  of  the  finish.  He  came 
like  a  flash  under  urging  and  was  within  a  length  of  Victory 
at  the  finish,  Mendocino  third,  three  lengths  further  away. 
Time,  L09.    Had  Gordius  got  away  on  even  terms  with  Vic- 


tory he  would  have  won  handily  and  even  had  Coombs 
gone  to  work  on  bim  a  little  sooner  he  would  have  proved

New  Jockey  Club  Rules. 


New  York,  May  5. — The  ultimatum  of  the  New  York- 
Jockey  Club  that  owners  running  horses  at  meetings  not 
sanctioned  by  the  club  will  be  barred  from  the  tracks  of  the 
association  has  made  Fred  Walbatim,  president  of  the  Sara- 
toga Racing  Association,  the  center  of  all  eyes.  Walbaum 
occupies  a  peculiar  position,as  the  Saratoga  Association  is  not 
a  member  of  the  new  racing  trust. 

"This  thing  has  come  on  me  so  suddeulv,"  said  Mr.  Wal- 
baum, "  that  I  hardly  know  what  to  say.  You  know  that  I 
own  nearly  half  of  the  stock  of  the  Saratoga  Racing  Associa- 
tion, and  whatever  my  personal  feelings  toward  the  New 
Jockey  Club  may  be,  I  may  be  forced  into  the  game.  I  will 
wait  and  see  what  action  St.  Louis  and  Washington  Park  may 
take. 

Trainers  say  the  arbitrary  rules  of  the  Jockey  Club  will 
force  the  poorer  borse-owners  to  establish  another  free  horse- 
owners'  association.  The  forfeitures  will  force  many  of  them 
to  the  wall,  and  if  they  race  at  unlicensed  tracks  they  are 
barred  forever.  According  to  a  strict  interpretation  of  the 
rule,  every  county  fair  must  secure  a  license  for  iu  runninp 
races.    Otherwise  those  taking  part  will  be  boycotted.

Havrthorne    Park    Events. 


Chicago,  May  4. — Corrigan  won  two  races,  one  with  Good- 
Bye,  which  he  purchased  from  the  Ruddys  at  the  end  of  the 
last  racing  season.  Good-bye  was  a  25-to-l  shot,  and  fur- 
nished the  surprise  of  the  day.  The  old  geldiog  Hurdler 
was  entered  to  fill  up  a  slim  field. 

Just  before  the  race  a  telegram  was  sent  to  Tony  McCaf- 
ferty  at  Louisville,  asking  what  shape  Good-Bye  was  in.  Be- 
fore the  answer  came  the  horses  went  to  the  post  with  Good- 
Bye  unbacked.  Then  came  the  answer  of  Good-Bye's  trainer: 
"  He  is  fit  to  ruu  for  any  man's  life."  The  race  proved  that 
McCafierty,  in  whose  hands  the  horse  had  been,  knew  what 
he  was  talking  about,  and  the  bookmakers  thanked  their  stars 
at  their  escape. 

Oorrigan's  other  winner  was  Lillian  C,  the  only  favorite 
that  did  not  disappoint  the  talent.  Charlie  Weber  had  both 
mounts.  The  fieids  on  the  whole  were  a  trifle  larger  than  on 
the  preceding  days,  and  the  racing  was  good,  but  the  attend- 
ance was  very  small.    The  track  was  sticky. 

Seven  furlongs — Jimmy  R.  won,  Fair  Knight  second, 
Koundbrook  third.     Time,  1:39|. 

One  mile  and  seventy  yards — Good-Bye  won,  Patrick  sec-

Chicago,  May  5. — Notwithstanding  the  track  had  been 
gone  over  with  mnd  sleds,  the  six  races  on  the  card  at  Haw

Chicago  (111.),  May  8. — The  attendance  was  the  largest 
since  the  opening  of  the  meeting,  probably  1,500.  The  start 
was  perfect,  the  ten  entries  moving  ofl  in  a  line,  and  through- 
out the  contests  were  good,  with  one  exception.  The  finish 
w..r-a  driving  one,  in  which  Colonel  Clay,  at  12  to  1,  came 
first  by  a  length  ;  Fakir,  the  favorite,  was  second,  a  length 
and  a  half  in  front  of  Consistent,  third.  The  latter  was  ridden 
badly  or  queerly.  Taylor's  riding  on  Wells  Street,in  the  first 
race,  was  bad.  Twice  the  Ruddy  Brothers'  entry  swerved 
across  Mede  and  Meteor,  whsch  made  the  pace  for  a  goodly 
portion  of  the  distance,  and  tfhen  the  colt  finished  second  he 
was  promptly  disqualified.  Red  Veil  was  first  by  a  head,ex- 
cellently  ridden  by  Charles  Weber,  who  landed  three  of  his 
mounts  in  front.  Visean  was  given  the  place,  and  Mede,  the 
favorite,  was  third. 

Visean  and  Donnete  ran  coupled,  the  first  carrying  Leigh's 
colors,  and  the  second  displaying  those  of  Coulter.  It  seems 
Coulter  has  opened  a  public  training  station  and  Leigh  has 
placed  several  of  his  horses  with  him.  The  entries  of  these 
owners  are  therefore  coupled  in  the  betting.    Summary : 

Five  furlongs — Red  Veil  won,  Visean  second,  Mede  third. 
Time,  101. 

Nine  furlongs — Joe  Murphy  won,  Illume  second,  McLight 
third.     Time,  2:02.

the  next  pick  at  8  and  10  to  1.  Roy  Lochiel's  supporters 
backed  him  down  from  15  to  to  10  to  1,  and  Chiswick  was  a 
rank  outsider  at  20  to  1, 

The  bunch  got  ofl"  well,  and  at  the  first  turn  Highland  and 
Yo  Tambien  raced  head  and  head  to  the  wire,  Smith's  mare

in  the  stretch,  while  Chiswick  and  Service  both  came  fast. 
White's  colt  secured  third  money  by  a  nose  from  Service.  The 
pair  were  a  length  back  of  the  first  two.  Ethel  Gray  was

New  York,  May  5. — A  stoutly  made  brown  horse,  with  a 
distinguishing  gray  spot  on  one  side  of  his  head,  attracted  a 
great  deal  of  attention  as  he  trotted  about  the  Gravesend  race 
track  this  morning,  licking  up  dust  and  taking  a  general  sur- 
vey of  his  surroundings.  It  was  Clifford,  the  great  four- 
year-old  that  Leigh  &  Rose  have  sent  from  the  West  to  win 
the  Brooklyn  handicap  one  week  from  Tuesday  next,  and 
who  is  now  the  favorite  in  that  race  at  odds  of  4  to  1.  Such 
good  judges  as  Ed.  Corrigan  and  Joe  UUman  say  that  Clifford 
is  another  Hindoo,  and  they  regard  the  Brooklyn  handicap 
as  a  certainty  for  the  son  of  Bramble  and  Duchess.  He  has 
reached  the  battle  ground  all  right,  and  has  shown  no  ill  ef- 
fects from  his  trip  as  yet. 

The  weather  this  morning  was  favorable  and  M .  F.  Dwyer's 
candidates  were  asked  to  perform  at  something  like  top  speed 
for  the  first  time  this  year.  As  usual  Don  Alonzo  and  Ban- 
quet worked  together  and  both  wore  plates.  The  pace  was 
moderate  at  the  outset,  the  first  furlong  beiDg  run  in  13£  sec- 
onds, the  half  in  51  ^  seconds,  five  furlongs  in  1:04 J,  three- 
quarters  in  1:18£,  the  mile  in  1:48$,  mile  and  a  furloDg  in 
1:59£,  and  the  finishing  was  stroDg,  but  withal  easy  in  2:11}. 
Stonenell  in  the  same  string  could  fiy.and  there  will  be  blood 
on  the  moon  wnen  he  meets  Dr.  Hasbrouck.  His  work  was 
three-quarters  of  a  mile  in  1:16$. 

Dobbins  and  Declare  were  paired  for  the  first  time  this 
year.  The  former  beat  Declare  a  mile  in  1:46|.  Declare 
pulled  up  lame.  Patrician  worked  alone  three-quarters  of  a 
mile  in  1:17.  Leonawell  and  Long  Beach  did  a  mile  and  a 
quarter  in  2:04,  and  old  Kingston  marched  six  furlongs  in 
1:20,  the  last  half  in  0:501.  Raceland  had  three-year-old 
Armitage  as  a  traveling  companion  for  a  mile,  which  was 
timed  in  1:491,  and  Prince  George  worked  alone  seven  fur- 
longs in  1:32.  David  McConn  is  giviDg  his  black  horse,  Lo- 
antaka,  every  care,  and  his  move  to-day  was  a  nice  one,  a 
mile  and  a  furlong  in  2:03}. 


Polo  at  Santa  Barbara. 


An  important  match  was  played  during  the  Flower  Festi- 
val between  Riverside  and  Santa  Monica. 

Unfortunately,  a  shower  of  rain  in  the  night  quite  spoiled 
the  ground,  which  is  in  the  centre  field  of  the  race  track  in 
a  very  swampy  locality.  In  spite  of  the  mud  a  very  good  and 
fast  game  was  exhibited. 

Three-quarters  were  played.  In  the  first,  the  game  was 
even,  or  in  favor  of  Santa  Monica,  the  latter  team  in  several 
instances  nearly  scoring,  but  the  Riverside  back  always  man- 
aged to  save,  and  so  the  quarter  ended  with  no  goals  for 
either  side. 

In  the  second  quarter  the  superior  organization  of 
the  Riverside  men — who  have  a  capital  combination  and 
keep  their  places  well — began  to  tell,  and  thence  forward  the 
play  was  all  in  their  favor,  they  eventually  winning  by  six 
goals  to  0. 

For  Santa  Monica  M.  Young  played  hard  and  straight,  and 
Messrs.  Procter  and  Machell  worked  hard,  but  they  were 
lacking  in  team  work.  They  probably  suffered  for  want  of 
practice,  as  they  have  not  played  together  since  last  summer. 

The  ground  was  very  greasy  and  muddy  and  it  is  a  wonder 
how  the  ponies  stood  up.  Several  of  the  local  horsemen  be- 
fore the  match  commenced,  stated  that  the  ground  was  quite 
unfit  and  daDgerous  to  ride  on. 

A  club  will  probably  be  started  at  Santa  Barbara. 

The  teams  were  as  "follows:  Santa  Monica,  J.  Machell,  No. 
1;   W.  H.  Young,  No.  2,  J.  B.  Procter  (captain)  Back. 

Riverside,  R.  Bettner,  No.  1  ;  C.  E.  Maud,  No.  2  ;  G.  L. 
Waring  (captain)  Back. 

The  Riverside  season  closes  on  May  7th  with  gymkhana 
sports  (the  third  of  a  series).  On  thssame  day  there  will  be 
two  steeplechases  for  ponies. 


Pools  Declared  a  Lottery  by  New  York  Courts. 


New  York,  May  7. — The  general  term  of  the  Courts  of 
Common  Pleas  to-day  handed  down  a  decision  in  thejfves 
Pool  Bill.  The  decision  holds  that  a  pool  on  a  horse  race  is 
a  lottery  within  the  interdiction  of  the  Constitution,  and 
bojkmaking  is  illegal  by  the  provisions  of  the  Revised 
Statutes,  which  make  unlawful  all  wagers,  stakes  or  bets  on 
a  race,  or  any  unknown  or  contingent  event  whatever.  [By 
Ed.     This  naturally  kills  racing  in  tke  State,  if  enforced.] 


Involves  the  Fair. 


On  May  16th  Judge  McGarvey  goes  to  Lakeport  to  preside 
in  the  case  of  Boggs  and  Stubbs  vs.  the  Lakeport  Park  Asso- 
ciation. This  is  an  action  brought  to  foreclose  a  mortgage  of 
$2,500.  It  is  believed  that  if  the  action  succeeds  the  Park 
Association  will  be  swamped,  and  the  coming  fair,  by  virtue 
of  necessity,  will  be  held  at  Ukiah.  While  the  unfortunate 
condition  of  the  Lakeport  Park  .Association  is  to  be  deplored, 
the  old  adage  of  the  "  ill  wind  which  blows  nobody  good  "  is 
applicable  here. — Ukiah  Press. 

Avington  "Wins  the  Jubilee  Stakes. 


London,  May  5. — In  the  race  for  the  Jubilee  stakes 
handicap  for  8,000  sovereigns,  for  three-year-olds  and  up- 
ward, one  mile  run,  at  Kempton  Park  to-day.Sir  W.  Throck- 
morton's Avington,  four-year-old,  was  first,  Prisoner,  four 
years  old,  second,  and  Diablo,  five  years  old,  third. 

There  is  likely  to  be  trouble  about  Directum.  John  Kelly 
intends  to  sue  John  Green  for  damages.  It  will  be  remem- 
bered that  after  Green  took  Directum  away  from  the  Salis- 
bury string  it  was  announced  that  Kelly  was  to  handle  Direc- 
tum in  1894  in  connection  with  the  trotters  and  pacers  of 
Du  Bois  Bros,  of  Denver.  Kelly  left  California  for  his  new 
position  with  the  understanding  that  Directum  was  to  be 
sent  on  some  time  in  May.  If  any  arrangemeot  had  been 
made  with  Kelly,  John  Green  repudiated  it  last  week  by 
leasing  the  horse  to  Mclver  and  Hickok.  Kelly  was  furious 
when  he  beard  of  the  new  deal,  and  has  written  friends  at 
Pleasanton  that  he  will  make  Green  pay  dearly  for  wbathe 
terms  a  breach  of  contract,  says  a  daily  paper.  [As  we  under- 
stand it,  no  written  or  verbal  contract  was  ever  made  between 
Kelly  and  Green  regarding  Directum.  Mr.  Green  gives 
excellent  reasons  for  leasing  the  horse  to  Mclver  and  not  to 
Mr.  Kelly.  The  latter  will  have  all  be  can  do  with  Du  Bois 
brothers'  horses  this  year,  and  it  is  a  question  if  he  could 
devote  much  of  their  time  to  getting  the  king  in  proper  con- 
dition for  his  races  and  have  him  "  keyed  up  "  for  every 
event.  Mr.  Hickok  will  not  have  a  big  string,  and  the  terras 
upon  which  he  is  to  handle  the  horse  for  Mr.  Mclver  are 
satisfactorv  to  all  concerned. — Ed.

[May  12, 1894 


Artificial  Impregnation. 

Some  weeks  ago  the  writer  incidentally  touched  upon  the 
subject  which  forms  the  caption  of  this  article,  and  since  then 
has  been  in  receipt  of  not  less  than  thirty  letters  asking  for 
information  of  various  kinds  relating  to  the  operation.  To 
answer  all  these  letters  specifically  would  entail  the  expendi- 
ture of  more  time  than  the  writer  can  devote  to  correspond- 
ence, and  it  is  therefore  with  a  view  to  covering  all  the  points 
made — not  to  thresh  old  straw — that  this  article  is  written. 
The  first  letter  noticed  contains  this:  "Young  man — I  pre- 
sume you  are  young  or  you  would  advocate  no  such  subver- 
sion of  natural  principles — do  you  not  snow  that  you  are 
wasting  your  time  advocating  what  is  an  impossibility?" 
This  question  may  be  dismissed  with  the  statement  that  the 
inquirer  is  behind  the  times.  Everyone  knows,  or  at  least 
ought  to  know,  that  artificial  impregnation  is  not  only  possi- 
ble, but  perfectly  practicable,  and  has  been  in  vogue  in  the 
genus  homo  for  a  century  or  so,  though  for  reasons  which 
must  be  kept  obvious  even  to  the  inquirer  the  facts  have 
been  "kept  dark.'1  Let  him  consult  his  physician  if  he 
needs  confirmation  of  the  above  assertion.  Here  is  the  gist 
of  another  letter:  "But  will  the  resulting  foal  look  like  its 
sire?''  Then  this  is  the  substance  of  a  third  :  "You  seem 
to  know  all  about  it ;  but  tell  us  more ;  describe  the  operation 
more  fully."  The  fourth  one  has  the  following:  "Describe 
minutely  the  whole  process ;  tell  me  where  to  get  the  cap- 
sules, how  big  should  they  be,  what  will  I  have  to  pay  for 
them  ?  "  And  so  they  go  down  to  the  end,  which  contains 
this:  *'  Mv  manager  is  a  colored  man  ;  will  the  color  of  his 
hand  in  performing  the  operation  have  any  tendency  to  in- 
fluence the  color  of  the  foal  ?  " 

This  subject  has  not  received  the  attention  it  deserved,  one 
of  the  reasons  being  that  its  character  has  induced  falsely 
modest  persons  to  turn  their  backs  on  the  discussion,  and  so 
keep  it  out  of  the  public  print,  it  is  a  curious  sort  of  satire 
on  the  morality  of  the  present  generation  that  men  and 
women  will  hold  up  their  hands  in  horror  when  a  subject  of 
deep  interest  to  horse  breeders  comes  up,  and  yet  they  will 
get  up  an  hour  earlier,  gulp  down  their  coffee  and  hasten  to 
the  street  where  they  can  buy  a  daily  paper  giving  the  latest 
salacious  news  from  Washington.  There  is  no  reason  why 
the  subject  of  the  artificial  impregnation  of  mares  should  not 
be  discussed.  There  are  few  if  any  measures  which  promise 
so  much  to  the  breeding  industry,  and  before  going  fully  into 
a  description  of  the  operation  itself,  it  will  be  well  to  dwell 
upon  the  manifold  advantages  to  be  derived  from  its  use. 

in  the  first  place  it  is  obvious  that  if  even  two  mares  can 
be  impregnated  from  the  same  service — that  is  the  one 
covered  and  the  one  artifically  impregnated — the  colts  by  any 
successful  stallion  may  be  doubled  in  number  and  the  breed- 
ing industry  thereby  materially  benefitted.  No  man  doubts 
for  an  instant  that  if  by  this  or  any  other  means  Electioneer 
could  have  been  made  to  produce  twice  as  many  colts  as  he 
did  the  value  of  the  trotting-bred  horses  as  the  whole  in  the 
country  would  have  been  increased  not  a  little.  Again  it  is 
plain  that  the  uses  of  this  operation  are  even  more  valuable 
when  applied  to  a  horse  that  has  grown  old  before  displaying 
any  extraordinary  powers  as  a  sire.  If  Dictator  had  been 
able  to  get  twice  as  many  colts  as  he  did  there  would  have 
been  more  good  broodmares  in  the  blue-grass  region  to-day. 
Once  more,  it  is  also  as  plain  as  can  be  that  the  vitality  of 
an  old  stallion  may  be  preserved  to  a  much  greater  extent  if 
each  of  his  services  may  be  made  to  do  the  work  of  two. 
Thus  if,  as  in  the  case  of  the  old  hero  mentioned,  he  had 
been  put  to  but  five  mares  instead  of  ten,  the  results  would 
have  been  the  same  and  he  might  have  lived  longer.  On  the 
other  hand  if  he  was  fit  to  serve  ten  mares  twenty  foals  might 
have  resulted ;  in  any  case  he  could  have  begotten  many  more 
colts  than  he  did.  Taking  these  facts  as  a  basis  of  considera- 
tion it  must  be  conceded  that  the  general  use  of  the  practice 
must  result  in  the  far  greater  distribution  of  the  sons  and 
daughters  of  famous  stallions. 

Another  point;  if  the  above  is  true— and  it  certainly  is  as 
true  as  anything  can  be — the  owners  of  producing  stallions 
can  afford  to  set  the  price  on  their  horses  services  at  at  lease 
half  the  figures  they  now  ask,  and  at  the  same  time  be  as- 
sured of  more  positive  returns  on  their  investment ;  for  if  the 
operation  is  skillfully  done,  and  the  conditions  are  right, 
more  than  twice  as  many  foals  will  be  produced.  Therefore, 
in  the  general  adoption  of  the  practice  lies  the  true  solution 
of  the  high-priced  stallion  fee  question,  which  has  caused  so 
much  discussion.  It  is  evident  that  if  the  owner  of  a  great 
horse  will  accept  half-price  for  his  services  many  small 
breeders  will  Bend  him  mares.  Thus  again  will  the  industry 
be  benefitted  and  hundreds  of  breeders  who  even  in  these 
times  cannot  afford  to  breed  their  mares  to  the  stallion  they 
know  would  best  suit  their  mares  would  be  enabled  to  take 
advantage  of  the  best  nicks  and  crosses. 

The  operation  is  a  very  simple  one  and  only  needs  the  ex- 
ercise of  a  little  adroitness  and  good  common  sense  to  be  suc- 
cessful ninety  times  out  of  every  hundred  tried.  There  is 
nothing  objectionable  about  it,  nothing  that  any  intelligent 
man  cannot  accomplish.  Why,  then,  if  it  promises  so  much 
for  the  breeding  industry  should  it  not  be  generally  adopted? 
In  addition  to  what  has  been  said  in  its  favor  there  is 
another  point  which  should  not  be  overlooked.  If  by  its  use 
the  owners  of  producing  stallions  are  enabled  to  reduce  the 
fees,  and  at  the  same  time  to  take  twice  as  many  mares  as 
under  existing  conditions,  the  scrub  and  inferior  stallion  will 
be  driven  out  of  the  bnsineu.  There  will  be  no  use  for  him 
and  the  knife  will  be  the  inevitable  result.  This  of  itself 
would  fully  warrant  the  adoption  of  the  practice.  Tiiere  are 
far  loo  many  stallions  now,  and  anything  that  would  induce 
first  and  then  force  their  owners  to  castrate  them  and  put 
them  to  work  earning  their  living  at  better  occupations  than 
filling  the  country  with  useless  ho  roe-flesh  would  be  deserv- 
ing of  the  kindest  consideration  of  breeders  who  are  trying 
to  breed  horses  of  high  class. 

There  i«  nothing  visionary  in  all  this.  The  operation  is 
no  longer  an  experiment ;  it  has  been  tried  and  found  to  be 
perfectly  successful.  It  mav  be  advanced  that  there  is  no 
use  advocating  anything  that  relates  to  the  breeding  of  mares 
t  lis  season,  for  the  reason  that  so  few  mares  are  being  bred. 
This  is  a  fallacious  position.  The  fewer  mares  there  are  be- 
'ngbred  the  easier  it  will  be  to  rid  the  country  of  the  mon- 
grel brutes  that  arc  'o  be  found  ostensibly  standing  for  public 
«ervice  at  every  ci  -roads.  If  the  owners  of  stallions  that 
■re  being  patronized  could  be  assured  of  getting  twice  the 
lares  they  would  reduce  their   fees,  the  business  would  con* 


centrate  around  the  [courts  of  tried  producers,  and  the  horse 
whose  claims  to  greatness  have  not  been  demonstrated  on  the 
track  or  in  the  harem  would  have  to  find  some  other  occupa- 
tion than  the  one  specified.  By  all  means  let  breeders  make 
a  trial  of  artificial  impregnation.  A  description  of  the  opera- 
tion is  by  no  means  necessary  here — a  full  account  of  the 
latest  and  most  approved  method  was  given  some  few  weeks 
ago.  Let  them  make  a  trial  of  it  along  the  lines  indicated  and 
there  is  no  doubt  that  it  will  be  part  of  the  annual  breeding 
procedure  for  all  time. — Horseman. 


Samuel  Gamble's  Letter. 


Attheearnest  solicitation  of  a  number  of  subscribers  we 
publish  the  following  letter.  While  every  one  who  knows 
the  writer  can  surmise  why  it  is  written,  they  wonder  why 
he  did  not  write  this  spicy  letter  before  he  left  the  Pacific 
Coast — after  those  two  or  three  of  his  best  friends  had  told 
him  not  to  write  any  more.  Why  does  he  not  give  their 
names  now,  surely  thev  can  have  no  objection.  The  Board  of 
Rsview  exhausted  every  means  in  its  power  at  the  time 
to  get  some  one  person  to  come  forward  and  deny  that  the 
time  was  not  made  in  2:07A.  Even  McHugh  and  Kearny 
did  not  swear  that  they  know  what  the  time  was.  However, 
we  hone  that,  as  Mr.  Gamble  has  found  some  people  who  did 
time  the  horse  in  2:16i,  he  will  write  another  spicy  letter  and 
give  the  names  of  those  who  gave  him  this  valuable  informa- 
tion and  such,  other  data  which  may  prove  of  interest  to  the 
people  of  this  coast  and  to  every  horseman  in  the  United 
States.     He  cannot  afford  to  remain  silent  any  longer: 

"  New  York,  April  17. — My  attention  wss  called  by  a 
gentleman  friend  to  an  article  in  the  Boston  Globe,  It  says 
that  it  has  been  publicly  stated  that  I  had  admitted  that  tue 
great  horseStamboul  only  went  in  2:1 6i  at  Stockton,  Cal.,  the 
day  he  was  credited  with  going  in  2:07£.  My  reply  is  simply 
this.  I  was  not  present  at  the  Stockton  track  on  that  day,  so 
it  would  be  impossible  to  quote  such  a  statement,  but  I  will  re- 
peat again,  as  I  have  stated  in  public  and  private,  that  I  was 
not  present  the  day  Statnboul  made  his  mile  of  2:07$,  and  am 
in  the  dark  just  as  much  as  any  one  who  was  not  present  on 
that  great  day.  The  article  again  says  if  I  knew  the  fact  on 
the  day  of  sale  that  Stamboul  did  not  honestly  trot  in  2:07} 
and  kept  it  hidden  until  this  late  date,  I  am  very  small  pota- 
toes. I  will  state  again  that  on  the  day  of  sale,  and  for  six 
months  afterwards,  I  was  just  as  much  satisfied  that  Stam- 
boul trotted  in  2:07i  as  I  am  alive,  and  I  placed  my  confi- 
dence in  the  sworn  statement  of  Mr.  Frank  Covey,  the  su- 
perintendent of  Palo  Alto  Farm,  a  gentleman  whom  I  am  in 
duty  bound  to  believe.  After  the  sale  and  my  return  back  to 
California  three  months  later  the  Pacific  Board  of  Review 
of  the  National  Trotting  Association  held  an  investigation, 
and  the  Board  summoned  all  who  claimed  to  know  anything 
about  the  right  or  wrong  of  the  2:07-1  record,  and  it  was  then 
and  there  proven  without  doubt  that  the  2:07£  record  was 
honestly  made,  and  that  Stamboul  was  the  king  of  stallions; 
and  I  for  one  at  that  time  would  have  drawn  my  sword  in  the 
defense  of  the  2:07$,  and  I  also  tried  to  write  some  spicy  let- 
ters in  some  of  the  leading  journals  in  defence  of  that  record. 
Later  on,  I  had  two  or  three  of  my  best  friends  in  and  about 
Stockton  come  to  me  and  advise  me  not  to  write  any  more,  as 
I  had  written  enough  upon  the  subject ;  as  I  was  wrong,  and 
that  Stamboul  did  not  trot  in  2:074  ;  that  he  honestly  trotted 
in  the  rain  and  mud  in  2:16£.  My  reply  to  these  gentlemen 
was,  why  did  they  not  go  before  the  National  Board  of  Re- 
view and  testify  to  that  effect?  They  said  that  they  were 
business  men  and  did  not  care  to  make  any  enemies,  and  did 
not  care  to  be  mixed  up  in  the  matter.  My  reply  to  them 
was  that  I  was  innocent  in  the  matter,  and  was  determined 
to  satisfy  myselt  and  the  public  about  the  truth  of  the  mat- 
ter. I  asked  these  gentlemen  if  they  were  present  and  on  the 
track  when  Stamboul  trotted  in  2:07\  or  2:16-V.  They  both 
said  that  they  were  not,  but  that  they  were  driving  out  to 
the  track  and  it  was  raining  very  hard.  They  arrived  at  the 
track  as  Stamboul  was  coming  off,  and  the  horse  and  bike 
sulky  were  all  covered  over  with  mud,  and  they  were  told 
that  the  mile  was  2:16£,inthe  rain  and  mud.  Now,  Mr. 
Covey,  Senator  Langford  and  others  say,  and  have  testified, 
that  it  didn't  rain  and  the  track  was  fast  and  good,  but  just 
as  the  horse  was  close  to  the  finish  it  commenced  to  rain,  and 
that  Mr.  Corey,  the  official  timer  of  the  day,  has  on  two  or 
three  occasions  testified  that  the  time  was  2:07A.  As  far  as  I 
can  judge  and  can  find  out  in  this  Stamboul  muddle,  I  am 
now  on  the  fence  as  to  the  right  or  wrong  as  to  2:07$  or  2:16$ 
as  stated,  but  whatever  it  may  be,  I  well  know  that  Stamboul 
is  honestly  and  justly  entitled  to  a  record  of  2:08,  and 
on  that  occasion  I,  with  others,  timed  him 
in  2:07$  in  his  2:08  mile.  Again,  we  will  say  that  he  trotted 
in  2:164  in  the  rain  and  mud;  if  so,  it  was  the  greatest  mile 
ever  trotted  by  a  stallion  up  to  date,  and  I  will  die  thinking 
that  I  have  seen  the  day  that  it  was  in  his  hide  to  trot  a  mile 
in  2:06.  I  will  give  my  reasons.  First,  I  have  seen  him  trot 
a  quarter  in  0:30  and  a  half  in  1:01,  five  furlongs  in  1:16}, 
and  I  well  know  that  he  could  have  been  prepared  that  fall, 
1892,  and  stepped  that  fast,  and  I  do  not  doubt  that  if  he  was 
placed  in  John  Goldsmith's  hands  that  Mr.  Goldsmith  would 
drive  him  a  mile  in  2:06.  I  think  that  Mr.  Goldsmith  is  the 
greatest  trainer  for  Stamboul,  living  or  dead,  and  I  ask  if  the 
readers  know  of  a  stallion,  or  any  nag,  that  has  been  worked 
and  banged  from  his  yearling  form  to  his  present  age,  twelve 
years  old,  and  with  his  speed,  feet  and  legs,  in  the  stud  and 
upon  the  track.  I  fail  in  looking  over  the  list  of  great  horses 
to  find  one  that  has  done  all  that  Stamboul  has  done.  So 
your  readers  can  judge  my  opinion  as  to  Stamboul  and  his 
record.  I  say  now  andalways  have  said  that  "it  would  be  im- 
possible for  any  harness  animal  to  step  a  mile  in  the  rain  and 
mud  in  2:07$,  and  again  to  me  the  2:16$  mile  in  tbe  rain  and 
mud,  so  claimed  on  the  other  side,  is  the  greatest  mile  ever 
trotted  to  harness  under  the  circumstances.  Poor  horse  Stam- 
boul, he  has  been  knocking  at  the  2:11  mark  for  two  years, 
and  has  beaten  it  nine  times,  and  yet  his  record  is  now  2:074 
as  a  bar  and  2:10  as  a  register  record,  which  is  all  bad  man- 
agement and  hard  luck.  I  can  write  his  record  knowingly  at 
2:08.     Yours,  Samuel  Gamhle. 

F.J.  Leary,  Trainer  Park  Farm,  Cranston,  R.  I.,  writes: 
I  have  given  your  Absorbine  a  thorough  trial  and  I  think  it 
a  good  thing  to  keep  in  training  stables. 

.(no.  Mathews,  Tuxedo  Park,  N.  V.,  writes  :  The  effect  ou 
pull'y  hock  is  very  satisfactory.  The  great  advantage  of  the 
Absorbine  is  that  the  animal  can  he  kept  at  work. 


Will  Don  Lowell  Do  ? 


Since  the  great  Directum  demonstrated  his  gameness  while 
in  Monroe  Salisbuay's  hands,  a  great  many  people  have  an 
idea  that  his  successor,  Don  Lowell,  2:20},  will  not  be  able  to 
trot  three  heats  in  2:10  or  better.  If  he  does  trot  in  2:10  he  is 
bred  right  to  keep  up  his  high  rate  of  speed,  if  we  are  to  fig- 
ure upon  the  game  thoroughbred  and  trotting  blood  in  his 
veics.  He  was  trained  and  driven  by  a  mere  lad  last  year, 
and  never  had  the  opportunity  other  horses  have  had  of  being 
developed.  Since  Mr.  Salisbury  placed  him  on  the  Pleasan- 
ton  track  and  bad  him  worked  accordingto  his  notion  of  how 
ahorse  should  be  trained,  he  is  satisfied  the  son  of  Don  Mar- 
vin will  do.  In  conformation,  disposition,  gait  and  game- 
ness he  can  hardly  be  improved  upon. 

Judging  by  his  only  two  appearances  on  the  turf  last  year, 
wherein  be  won  both  races  with  ease  aDd  showed  that  he  was 
not  only  level-heaaed  but  pure-gaited,  it  is  useless  to  say 
that  his  qualities  as  a  race  horse  were  fully  tested  for  he 
never  had  a  contestant  to  force  him  to  do  his  best.  At  Peta- 
luma,  in  the  heat  which  he  won  in  2:201,  he  grabbed  his 
quarter  after  passing  the  five-eighths  pole  and  came  to  a 
standstill  before  his  youthful  driver  could  get  him  to  start 
again  squarely.  When  he  did  so,  however,  the  others  in  the 
race  were  fully  twenty  lengths  in  front  of  him.  He  closed 
up  the  gap  as  if  they  were  all  walking  and  he  was  running, 
and.passed  under  the  wire  a  winner  by  four  lengths.  Tbe 
cheers  that  greeted  the  handsome  bay  stallion  will  never  be 
forgotten  by  those  who  witnessed  this  wonderful  performance. 
His  breeding  is  peculiar,  combining  as  it  does  a  blending  of 
thoroughbred  with  that  of  the  best  of  Hambletonian's  de- 
scendants. He  was  sired  by  Don  Marvin,  2:22$,  out  of  a  mare 
by  Brigadier,  2:21£;  second  dam  by  California  Dexter;  third 
dam  s.  t.  b.  by  Langford.  Don  Marvin  was  foaled  in  1884, 
and  was  not  bred  to  any  mares  until  he  was  four  years  old, 
and  then  his  little  harem  consisted  of  four  mares.  In  1885 
four  colts  came,  of  these  Don  .  Marvin,  2:20},  is  one, 
another  one  is  out  of  Mischief  (p),  and  is  now  in  Oregon, it 
will  enter  the  2:30  list  by  getting  a  mark  of  2:24  this  fall, 
and  now  we  understand  that  the  remaining  two  will  be  taken 
in  hand.  Although  never  having  been  developed  for  speed 
they  show  a  splendid  gait  and  trot  with  that  frictionless  stride 
for  which  his  sire  is  so  well  noted. 

Let  us  look  into  Don  Lowell's  breeding  a  little  moreclosely. 
His  sire,  Don  Marvin,  was  by  Fallis,  2:23,  out  of  Cora,  by 
Don  Victor;  second  dam  Clarabel  (dam  of  Clifton  Bell, 
2:24$,  and  ldealia,  2:24|,  she  is  also  grandam  of  Bernal, 
2:17  ;  Rexford,  2:24;  Electrician,  2:21$,  and  Ariana,  2:26),  by 
Abdallah  Star  ;  third  dam  Fairy  (sister  to  Camille,  dam  of 
Stevie,  2:19,  and  Eloise,  2:30),  by  Hambletonian  10;  fourth 
dam  Emma  Mills  (dam  of  Sweepstakes,  Independent  and 
Gleuair,  all  sires  of  2:30  trotters,  and  Camille,  the  dam  of 
two  in  2:30),  by  American  Star  14  ;  fifth  dam  by  Alexander 
W.  (Redikers),jhe  by  Alexander  W.,  a  son  of  Cole's  Messen- 
ger. Fallis,  2:23,  is  by  Electioneer  125.  out  of  Felicia  (a 
mare  that  died  at  Palo  Alto  as  a  four-year-old),  by  Messen- 
ger Duroc;  second  dam  the  great  broodmare  Lady  Fallis 
(dam  of  Kisbar,  2:27  f,  Pickering,  2:30,  and  the  dams  of 
Clingstone,  2:14,  Freestone,  2:25,  etc.),  by  American  Star  14  ; 
third  dam  Beck  Mare,  by  Long  Island  Black  Hawk.  Don 
Victor,  sire  of  Cora,  the  dam  of  Don  Lowell,  was  a  thor- 
oughbred that  was  endowed  with  a  level  head  and  pure  trot- 
ting action  ;  he  was  by  the  great  Williamson's  Belmont,  o?1 
Maria  Downing  (dam  of  Owen  Dale),  by  American  Eclipse1, 
second  dam  Brownlock,  by  Tiger,  etc.  Don  Victor's  daugh- 
ters are  the  dams  of  Monterey,  2:254  ;  Minet,  2:27i;  Legal 
Test,  2:29]-,  and  Coquette,  2:29$.  Abdallah  Star  "was  by 
American  Star  Jr.,  out  of  Curry  Abdallah  (grandam  of 
Arthurton  and  Leland),  by  Abdallah  1.  American  Star  Jr. 
was  by  American  Star  14,  out  of  a  mare  by  Friday,  son  of 
imp.  Trustee. 

If  there  is  any  virlure  in  the  great  Hambletonian-Ameri- 
can  Star  cross  Don  Lowell  is  well  blessed  with  it  on  the  sire's 
side,  for  he  traces  three  times  to  Hambletonian  10  and  three 
times  to  American  Star  14,  through  his  greatest  daughters 
and  to  that  other  royal  sire  which  is,  and  always  will  be, 
noted  for  gameness,  Williamson's  Belmont 

Don  Lowell's  dam  was  by  Brigadier,  2:21},  by  Happy 
Medium  400,  dam  by  Frank  Pierce  Jr.  480,  a  horse  whose 
history  is  very  little  known.  Happy  Medium,  as  the  sire  of 
eighty-two  in  the  list,  including  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04,  was  by 
Hambletonian  10,  out  of  that  game  race  mare  Princess,  2:30, 
by  Andrus  Hambletoni?n. 

California  Dexter,  the  sire  of  Don  Lowell's  second  dam, 
was  by  Hambletonian  725  (a  sire  of  game  trotters),  out  of 
Kale  Leslie,  the  gamest  and  most  thoroughbred -looking  mare 
ever  seen  in  California.  She  was  by  a  horse  called  Gray 
Messenger;  he  was  formerly  known  as  Great  West.  Cali- 
fornia Dexter's  colts  and  fillies  were  all  noted  for  their  ner- 
vous energy,  good  limbs  and  gameness  ;  no  road  ever 
seemed  too  long  for  them.  The  third  dam  of  Don  Lowell 
was  a  mare  said  to  be  by  Langford,  a  son  of  Williamson's  Bel- 
mont. She  was  a  famous  road  mare  and  transmitted  her  ex- 
cellent qualities  to  her  produce. 

With  such  a  pedigree  bristling  with  the  names  of  wonder- 
ful performers,  as  well  as  sires  and  dams,  if  Don  Lowell  is  not 
injured  before  he  arrives  in  the  East,  he  will  be  *ble  to  trot 
his  sixth  heat  as  fast  as  his  first,  if  necessary.  He  has  a 
splendid  general  to  campaign  him  and  with  any  fair  treat- 
ment will  prove  that  his  California  ancestry  will  not  have  in 
him  a  weak  exponent.  He  is  entered  in  a  number  of  races 
in  the  East,  and  we  have  every  reason  to  believe  he  will  re- 
turn to  tbe  land  by  the  sunset  sea  crowned  with  the  laurels 
of  victory. 

Don  Marvin,  his  sire,  is  destined  to  beome  one  of  the 
greatest  sires  iu  California,  while  Don  Lowell's  dam  will  have 
a  king  and  queen  for  a  son  and  daughter,  else  all  signs  will 
fail  and  I  believe  this  son  Don  Lowell  will  do.

A  horseman  who  studies  the  breeding  problem  closely  and 
is  a  believer  in  Mambrino  Chiefs  blood  says:  "Bellman, 
'-M  I [,  ami  Ponce  de  Leon,  2:13,  are  the  only  trotting  stallions 
with  race  records  under  2:16  whose  dams  have  records  of  2:30 
or  better  and  are  also  members  of  the  great  broodmare  list.

OAKLAND    RACE    TRACK. 


What  the  Trainers  and  Drivers  are  Doing  There 

— Great  Preparation  for  Successful 

Racing1  Meetings. 

Now  that  the  news  has  spread  that  the  seven  months'  race 
meeting  at  Bay  District  Track,  will  end  on  the  26th  of  this, 
month,  a  large  number  of  lovers  of  racing  who  have  had  a 
surfeit  of  thoroughbreds,  are  turning  their  attention  to  the 
tracks  on  which  the  trotters  and  pacers  are  receiving  their 
work.  Prom  almost  every  center  of  racing,  news  is  being 
received  that  applications  for  stalls  for  the  race  meetings  are 
coming  in  fast.  The  track  superintendents  are  busy  getting 
their  tracks  and  stalls  in  readiness,  and  when  the  bell 
rings  the  race  meeting  of  1894  pramises  to  be  the  best  at- 
tended of  any  heretofore  held. 

At  the  Oakland  track  a  number  of  trainers  and  drivers  can 
be  seen  [every  morning  "working  out"  some  favorite  fast 
ones. 

Jos.  Cairn  Simpson  takes  delight  in  driving  his  handsome 
bay  colt  Viva  La,  a  son  of  Whips,  out  of  Joe  Viva,  by  Joe 
Hooker.  This  colt  is  a  pure-gaited,  perfectly-formed  trotter 
and  all  who  have  seen  him  coming  down  the  homestretch  be- 
lieve that  Mr.  Simpson  has  a  greater  trotter  than  Anteeo  in 
this  youngster. 

Ed.  Lafferty  has  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  and  will 
have  several  additions  made  to  it  this  week.  He  has  a  fine, 
large,  well-made  stallion  called  Sable  Steinway  that  pleases 
him  every  time  he  sits  behind  him.  This  "green"  one  is 
owned  by  A-  H.  Cohen,  of  Alameda.  Excellent  breeding 
finds  in  him  a  worthy  exponent  of  all  that  one  would  be  led 
to  believe  ought_to  be  good  from  such  a  mingling  of  trotting 
strains:  sired  by  Steinway,  2:25 J,  out  of  Algerdetta,  by  Al- 
landorff  (son  of  Onward  and  Alma  Mater) ;  second  dam  King 
Girl,  by  Mambrino  King  (the  handsomest  of  Mambrino 
Patchen's  sons);  third  dam  Leah  (dam  of  Alcalville,  2:29),  by 
Blue  Bull  75;  fourth  dam  by  Tom  Hall.  Sable  Steinway  is 
about  the  finest  gaited  Steinway  we  have  seen  and  will  have 
no  trouble  to  get  a  mark  well  inside  the  2:30  limit  this  year. 
He  will  make  a  great  sire  when  his  days  on  the  turf  end. 

Fred  Mason,  2:16,  by  Bob  Mason,  is  a  handsome  bay  geld- 
ing, with  irregular  white  markings  from  withers  to  coupling. 
He  6tands  about  sixteen  hands,  and  shows  a  great  deal  of  thor- 
oughbred in  his  conformation.  He  is  one  of  those  low,  easy 
friction  less -gaited  fellows  that  pokes  his  nose  straight  out 
when  pacing  and  sticks  strictly  to  business.  There  is  no 
doubt  he  will  lower  his  record  this  season,  and  congratulations 
are  due  Mr.  F.  H.  Burke  on  getting  such  a  horse. 

A  Steinway  pacer  that  pleased  us  is  called  Madcap.  She 
is  by  Steinway  out  of  Maggie  McGregor,  by  Eobert  Mc- 
Gregor, 2:17£.  She  is  owned  by  T.  J.  Crowley  of  San  Fran- 
cisco, and  as  she  has  outgrown  all  her  foolish  notions  about 
running  when  called  upon  to  pace  fast,  Ed  will  have  in  her 
one  that  he  will  feel  very  proud  of  in  every  race  she  starts  in. 
She  is  only  four  years  old. 

Allie  Cresco  is  the  name  of  a  black,  powerfully-built  mare, 
with  hind  quarters  like  one  of  our  old-time  quarter  horses. 
She  is  by  Cresco  4907  (son  of  Strathmore  and  Alia,  by  Al- 
mont  33),  and  her  dam  was  by  a  horse  called  imported  Aus- 
tralian. She  is  a  pacer,  and  got  her  record  of  2:23}-  in  a 
race  last  fall  after  being  taken  out  of  a  buggy.  She  will  get 
a  mark  in  the  teens  this  season.  She  belongs  to  I.  L.  Borden, 
a  prominent  citizen  of  Alameda. 

I  The  bay  filly  by  Stamboul,  2:07},  out  of  Kitty  Almont, 
2:22^,  by  Tiltou  Almont,  belonging  to  Albert  Joseph,  of  this 
jcity,  has  only  been  over  here  a  few  days.  She  is  a  pme- 
[  gaited  trotter,  and  will  be  within  the  charmed  circle  this 
;"all.  Mr.  Joseph's  bay  pacing  gelding  Aleck  also  forms  one 
pf  the  campaigning  string,  which  Ed  Lafferty  will  pilot  dur- 
ng  the  circuit.  All  of  his  horses  are  looking  well  and  strong, 
lind  are  taking  their  work  most  kindly. 
I  Jas.  Nolan  has  his  string  of  twelve  trotters  and  pacers  in 
L  he  pink  of  condition  also.  He  has  had  them  at  the  Oakland 
|  rack  all  winter,  and  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels,  the  owner,  has 
i  eason  to  feel  proud  of  the  way  they  are  being  cared  for. 
f  ie  is  partial  to  the  Dexter  Princes,  and  this  preference  is 
,ot  without  just  cause  for  this  great  son  of  Kentucky  Prince 
I  elongs  to  him  and  this  year  is  being  mated  to  the  choicest 
i  aares  on  the  far-famed  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm.  There  is 
i  ndex,  2:27£,  the  first  newcomer  in  the  list  in  1894.  He  is 
ly  Dexter  Prince.  Senator  L.,  2:29£ ;  Chloe,  2:23]  ;  Prince 
l>exter,  2:19  ;  Princess  Louise,  Free  Silver,  Dexter  Thorne, 
l:23£,  are  by  Dexter  Prince  also,  and  fit  to  win  more  laurels 
I  »r  their  sire.  Mr.  Nolan  is  very  proud  of  the  manner  in  which 
I  rincess  Louise  is  progressing,  and  entertains  high  hopes  of 
1 9r  success  as  a  pacer.  He  has  the  big  bay  stallion  Pleasan- 
I'D,  by  Richards'  Elector,  and  some  colts  and  fillies  by  Aptos 
I  'ilkes,  brother  to  Hulda,  2:08  J,  that  are  not  only  pure-gaited 
letters,  but  seem  endowed  with  speed. 

I  A.  L.  Hinds  is  only  handling  one  trotter  this  season  so  far, 
lid  that  one  is  the  big  bay  mare  Hera,  2:23£. 
I  Dennis  Gannon  is  driving  a  son  of  Electioneer  called  Grover 
I  ay  every  morning  on  the  track,  and  we  venture  to  assert 
I  at  this  one  will  enter  the  2:30  list  whenever  given  an 
I  nortunity.  Mr.  Gannon  is  handling  a  few  of  Grover  Clay's 
r.  Its,  and  they  move  like  old  campaigners. 
I  J.  H.  Crow  has  quite  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  in  his 

I  w  of  stalls.     He  has  a  trotting  two-year-old  by  Prince  Bed, 

I I  of  a  mare  by  Mt.  Vernon",  2:15},  which  beloogs  to  W. 
■  •ote,and  it  is  a  good  one.  He  has  a  good-looking  mare 
Itntura,  by  Adventure  (son  of  Venture,  2:27 J),  that  will  be 
Id  in  the  races  this  fall.     Ventura  belongs  to  Capt.  Benj. 

I  Harris,  of  San  Francisco.  Hailstorm,  2:29|,  the  first  grand- 

I I  of  Anteeo,  2:16^,  to  enter  the  list  is  also  one  of  Mr.  Crow's 
p  t  ones. 

I  V  Sidney  pacer,  out  of  a  mare  by  John  Nelson  ;  a  filly  by 
L  shard's  Elector,  out  of  Joanita,  and  a  colt  by  St.  Nicholas 
I  a  of  Sidney),  out  of  a  thoroughbred  mare  form  the  princi- 
H  -working  members  of  his  list.  They  are  all  looking  well. 
Ij  W.  I.  Higgins  has  a  big  brown  gelding  called  Richmond 
■  1  t  has  no  record,  but  will  not  be  handicapped  that  way  be-  , 
H  !  the  season  ends.  This  horse  was  sired  by  a  horse  called 
l]  :hmond,  out  of  Olga,  by  Algona;  second  dam  Black  Wood- 

*  e,  by  Reardon's  Palchen  ;  third  dam  Woodbine  (sister  to 

1  narch,  2:2Si,  by   Woodburn.     Richmond  was  by  A.  W. 

J  hmond,  out   of    Precio3a,  by  Sultan,   2:24;  second    dam 
' '  ale,  by  Crichton  ;  third  dam  Longlash,  by  Vermont  Mor- 

1  .    He  is  bred  to  stay  the  route,  if  his  forelegs  will  stand 
preparation. 


f^f 


Mr.  Higgins  owns  the  Dexter  Prince  horse  Erin,  2:29  J, 
.  dam  by  Almont  Lightning.  These  horses  are  looking  much 
1  better  than  they  did  last  fall. 

While  inspecting  these  horses  our  attention  was  attracted 
'i  to  a  gathering  of  men  who  were'watching  Dr.  G.  W.  Stimp- 
l  son  emasculating  a  ridgling,  and  the  way  in  which    he  per- 
,  formed  this  delicate  operation  shows  conclusively  that  be  is 
a  master  in  his  profession.  He  castrated  three  other  stallioos 
one  of  them  about  ten  years  old,  and  the  neatness  and  quick- 
ness with  which  he  performed  these  operations  accounted  for 
the  high  esteem  his  skill  is  held  by  all  the  horsemen  of  the 
track. 

In  a  conversation  with  him  regarding  the  number  of  simi- 
lar operations  he  performed  this  year,  he  said  that  in  this 
branch  of  the  profession  more  of  that  work  has  been  done  by 
veterinarians  in  this  State  than  was  ever  performed  at  simliar 
periods  before.  He  modestly  stated  when  asked  if  the  death 
rate  was  not  heavy  among  such  old  horses:  ''Well,  I 
have  been  castrating  horses  for  the  past  eleven  years  and 
never  lost  but  one,  and  that  was  a  ridgling."  The 
numerous  calls  made  upon  him  by  the  drivers  there  while  we 
were  conversing  with  him,  proved  that  his  services  in  other 
branches  of  his  profession  must  be  in  demand. 

Peter  Williams,  the  old  time  horseman  and  genial  good 
fellow  has  Silver  Bow,  2:16  and  a  string  of  excellent  ones  at 
the  track  here.  On  going  into  Silver  Bow's  stall,  it  could  be 
easily  seen  that  the  6on  of  the  Monarch  of  the  Homestretch 
needed  nothing  to  make  him  more  comfortable.  His  skin 
shines  like  burnished  copper,  his  eyes  are  clear  and  his  feet, 
legs,  and  in  fact,  all  over,  trom  his  tapering  muzzle  to  his 
heels  be  is  in  better  condition  than  we  have  ever  seen  him. 
As  the  greatest  money  winning  stallion  for  his  age  he  stands 
a  solendid  chance  of  lowering  his  mark  at  least  ten  seconds 
this  fall.  There  are  two  youngsters  by  him  here  out  of  Maud 
Singleton,  2:23-2,  by  Singleton,  that  are  a  credit  to  their  sire 
and  dam.  One  is  a  three-year-old  called  Silver  Note,  the 
other  is  Silver  Ring,  a  two-year-old.  They  suit  Mr.  Wil- 
liams, and  when  he  says  so  you  can  depend  on  it  they  are  fit  to 
meet  any  company. 

Montana,  by  Sidney,  2:19|,  out  of  Hattie  by  Commodore 
Belmont,  has  grown  into  a  big  strong  horse  since  he  won  that 
game  race  in  Sacramento  last  September  and  got  a  record  of 
2:30. 

Mr.  Williams  has  a  large,  rangy  three-year-old  colt  be- 
longing toE.  Topham,  of  Milpitas,  that  moves  as  if  he  will 
be  a  racehorse.  He  is  sired  by  Billy  Thornhill,  that  splen- 
didly-bred Wilkes  stallion,  out  of  a  mare  by  Nutwood.  He 
will  do  to  watch  a  little. 

In  the  next  stall  we  looked  upon  a  horse  that  for  his  inches 
will  make  as  good  a  record  as  anybody's  trotter  and  that  one 
is  the  long,  low  muscular-built,  strong-limbed  Iago,  2:17f,  by 
Tempest  1881,  out  of  Eulogy  (dam  of  Leap  Year,  2:26|),  by 
Commodore  Belmont.  Iago  will,  if  nothing  happens  him, 
be  a  money  winner  this  year,  although ,  so  far,  few  classes  have 
been  provided  on  the  California  circuit  for  any  horses  between 
2:14  and  2:19  class  trotters,  and  Iago  is  not  eligible  to  either  of 
these  extremes. 

Peter  Brandow,  "Old  Reliable,"  has  been  busy  timing 
horses  for  the  past  seven  months  at  the  Bay  District  track, 
but  it  is  a  safe  proposition  to  wager  that  his  thoughts  have 
often  wandered  to  this  track  where  Sol  Wilkes,  Free  Coin- 
age, |2:28|,  and  a  bay  gelding  that  he  owns,  were  being  "con- 
ditioned "  for  him  to  ride  behind.  This  green  gelding  is  by 
Chris  S.,  a  son  of  Abbotsford,  and  is  a  very  good  moving  colt. 
Chas.  David  has  left  Lodi  and  taken  up  his  quarters  at  this 
track.  He  brought  only  two  horses  with  him.  One  is  a  big 
roan  pacer,  by  Dexter  Prince,  out  of  a  mare  by  Silverthreads; 
the  other  is  a  brown  gelding  by  Nephew,  out  of  the  dam  of 
Sidlette,  2:22.  He  will  have  the  balance  of  his  string  down 
this  week. 

In  the  adjoining  stalls  are  four  that  will  become  prominent 
some  day  either  on  the  track  or  in  the  harem, Robert  Mc- 
Millan is  in  charge  of  them.  One  of  these,  Daylight,j2:2H,  by 
Chief  of  the  Echoes  is  already  well  known  as  a  game  racehorse. 
The  other  three  belong  to  Geo.  H.  Fox,  of  Angels'  Camp,CaIa- 
veras  county,  Cal.  One  is  the  black  two-year-old  colt  Cala- 
veras, by  Eclectic,  out  of  Kitty  Almont,  2:22f,  by  Tilton  Al- 
mont. The  other  is  a  Silver  Bow  gelding  filly,  out  of 
Vision,  by  Sterling;  second  dam  Sibyl,  by  Singleton.  This  one 
is  considered  as  promising  a  filly  as  ever  stepped  on  the  Oak- 
land Track.  The  last  one  looked  at  was  Bessie  Pancoast, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Dictator.  She  will  be  bred  to  Silver  Bow, 
2:i6,  and  the  produce  ought  to  be  very  valuable. 

Mr.  McMillan  only  arrived  at  the  track  a  few  days  and  has 
not  been  able  to  do  much  with  the  youngsters  yet. 

John  Green  is  handling  the  .fine  young  stallion  Ameer,  by 
Red  Wilkes,  and  a  great  improvement  was  noticeable  in  this 
colt's  appearance  and  manner  of  going.  That  he  will  get  a 
mark  below  2:30  this  fall  is  admitted  by  all  who  have  seen 
him  worked.  Mr.  Green  has  some  others  that  will  be  heard  of 
this  season  and  all  are  in  good  shape. 

L.  J.  Smith  has  Fresno  Prince,  2:17f,  the  black  pacer  and 
a  fine  lot  of  other  good  ones.  He  was  in  Oakland  during  our 
visit,  hence  we  did  not  have  the  pleasure  of  inspecting  his 
campaigners. 

The  track  is  in  excellent  shape.  Ben  Wright  has  teams  go- 
ing morning,  noon  and  night,  keeping  it  in  perfect  order  for 
the  sulky  brigade.  The  pathway  from  Shell  Mound  Station 
should  be  covered  with  new  and  wide  boards;  as  it  is,  the 
path  is  like  a  trail  through  the  vegetable  garden.  It  is  the  in- 
tention of  the  management  to  have  a  little  station  nearer  the 
entrance  and  a  splendid  walk  made  to  the  gate  before  the 
races  commence.  This  will  be  a  valuable  improvement  and 
will  be  appreciated  by  all  visitors  to  this  splendid  coarse. 
The  prospects  for  the  Oakland  meeting  at  this  track  were 
never  brighter.  A  large  and  enthusiastic  assemblage  will  be 
seen  when  the  bell  rings  and  the  horses  and  drivers  score  for 

the  word.  Arn/aree.

Will  you  kindly  make  inquiry  in  your  paper  for  a  bay 
or  brown  gelding  sired  by  Prospect  (sire  of  Turk  Franklin, 
2:165,  p.),  bought  of  Mr.  James  Matheson,  Helena,  Montana, 
two  or  three  years  since  by  Mr.  Tryon,  of  the  Suisun  Stock 
Farm,  California.  I  wish  to  learn  the  name  of  this  gelding, 
his  record,  if  any,  who  owns  him  now,  and  whether  he  will 
be  trained  this  season  or  not.  I  would  also  like  the  address 
of  Mr.  Tryon,  and  also  of  the  proprietors  of  the  Suisun  Stock 
Farm.  C.  X.  Larrabee. 

L.  Winder,  who  used  to  own  Piccolo,  recently  arrived 
from  England  with  four  horses.  They  are:  Satellite  (4),  by 
Saraband,  dam  Meleora;  Marden  Pet,  by  Petrarch,  dam 
Marden  Lass;  Full  Measure,  by  Fullerton,  and  a  two-year- 
old  colt  by  Marden,  dam  Loretta,  bv  Petrarch.  The  first- 
named  was  stolen  out  of  the  stablest  Garfield  Park,  Chicago, 
the  other  day,  andjs  still  missing. 


The  Dam  of  Roy  "Wilkes,  2:06  1-2. 

L.  A.  Davis,  owner  of  Roy  Wilkes,  was  in  The  Horseman's 
editorial  rooms  a  few  days  ago,  and  gave  the  following  historv 
of  the  maternal  ancestry  of  his  good  brown  horse.  In  1825, 
four  families — the  Brandenburgs,  Shiveleys,  Duncans  and 
Cecils — moved  from  Virginia,  the  Brandenburgs  locating  at 
Anderson,  the  Shiveleys  at  Muncie,  the  Cecils  and  Duncans 
at  Winchester.  The  Brandenburgs  brought  with  them  a 
black  stallion  called  Virginia  Nigger,  a  son  of  American 
Eclipse;  Virginia  Nigger  begat  a  son  called  Mullattu  Boy, 
who  in  turn  begat  Bull  of  the  Woods.  These  succeeding 
generations  were  from  mares  largely  thoroughbred.  The 
Shiveleys  brought  with  them  a  stallion  called  Quicksilver,  a 
son  of  the  imported  thoroughbred  horse  of  the  same  name, 
and  the  Duncans  who  settled  near  Winchester,  brought  with 
them  a  running  mare  of  some  local  fame,  called  Liddie,  who 
was  sired  by  a  blood  horse  called  Shakespeare  which  the 
Sbiveleys  also  took  with  them  and  located  near  Winchester. 
In  the  course  of  time  this  mare,  Liddie,  by  Shakespeare,  was 
bred  to  Quicksilver  and  foaled  a  dappled  dun  mare,  who  was 
named  Trim,  and  she  was  in  time  mated  with  Bull  of  the 
Woods,  and  foaled  a  mare  who  was  subsequently  dubbed 
Phcebe.  Phcebe  was  a  quarter  mare,  and  quite  successful  at 
smaller  meetings.  She  was  of  good  size,  and  could  run  verv 
fast  over  her  distance  of  ground.  Phosbe  was  bred  by  ODe  of 
the  young  men  of  the  Duncans,  and  one  of  the  young  men  of 
the  family  trained  and  raced  her.  In  the  course  of  one  of  her 
campaigns,  young  Duncan  found  himself  somewhere  in  the 
beginning  of  September,  1868,  in  Rush  county,  Indiana,  and 
there  Phcebe  broke  down.  After  he  had  coopered  the  mare 
up  a  little,  he  bred  her — now  we  use  Mr.  Duncan's  own  words 
— "  to  a  horse  called  Sam.  a  chestnut  that  looked  like  a  thor- 
oughbred, owned  by  a  man  called  Wilson.  I  thought  he  was 
a  thoroughbred  all  the  time  till  the  next  day  after  I  bred  the 
mare  when  I  found  out  Sam  was  a  racker."  Everybody 
knows,  of  course,  that  Blue  Bull  was  originally  called  Sam, 
or  Sam  Hazard.  Pho?be  was  bred  then  in  the  first  part  of 
September,  1868,  and  two  weeks  later  another  son  of  Mr. 
Duncan  joined  teams  with  a  neighbor  and  drove  Phcebe  and 
an  old  gelding  to  Iowa,  where  Phcebe  was  sold,  and  in  1869 
foaled  Flora,  who,  as  a  two-year-old,  passed  to  John  Greenley, 
of  Blackhawk  county  and  tben  through  three  more  hands  to 
E.  V.  Hayden,  who  bred  Roy  Wilkes.  Mr.  Davis  has  affi- 
davits to  prove  these  claims,  and  will  present  the  matter  to 
the  board  of  censors  at  the  next  meeting.

Fantasy  at  Practice. 

New  York,  Mayo.— Fantasy,  the  Buffalo  filly  owned  by 
C.  J.  Hamlin,  made  a  half  mile  in  1:05  on  the  Buffalo  track. 
With  Nancy  Hanks  retiring  to  the  breeding  ianksMr.  Ham- 
lin has  cherished  the  hope  of  seeing  his  four-year-old  wonder 
become  the  star  of  the  trotters.  Fantasy's  remarkable  show 
of  speed  this  early  makes  the  turfmen  here  confident  that  Mr. 
Hamlin's_ hopes  will  be  realized.  The  Buffalo  track  was  in 
fair  condition,  but  not  fast  when  the  test  was  made.  Driver 
Ed  Geers  broaght  Fantasy  out  and  after  going  a  slow  mile 
said  to  a  dozen  men  who  had  congregated:  "I'm  going  to 
travel  a  mile  in  2:25."  He  jogged  half  a  mile  and  then 
scored  once  and  he  went  away  on  an  easy  jog. 

"He  can't  do  it  that  way,"  said  D.  F. Dungat  when  the 
quarter  was  reached  in  0:40,  but  the  mare  kept  on  at  an  easy 
gait.  The  half  was  made  in  1:20,  and  on  all  sides  it  was  be- 
lieved Mr.  Geers  was  joking,  but  as  she  passed  the  half  Geers 
let  the  gray  mare  have  her  head,  and,  stretching  out  her 
neck,  she  fairly  flew.  As  she  came  up  the  stretch  she  was 
moving  so  freely  and  smoothly  that  the  spectators  thought 
she  was  going  at  a  2:30  gait,  and  it  was  only  when  the  rapid 
patter  of  her  feet  was  heard  that  the  horsemen  realized  that 
she  was  trotting  a  wonderful  trial.  She  finished  in  2:25  flat, 
and  the  last  half  was  in  1:05.  Geers  has  only  just  begun  to 
give  Fantasy  hard  work,  and  her  performances  for  so  early 
in  the  season  is  said  to  be  without  an  equal  on  the  Eastern 
turf. 

Robert  J.,  another  of  Mr.  Hamlin's  flyers,  made  a  remarka- 
ble showing  also.  The  little  pacer  followed  Fantasy's  per- 
formance by  making  a  mile  easily  in  2:17,  the  last  quarter  be- 
ing made  in  0:31,  a  2:04  gait. 


The  Petaluma  Driving  Club. 

Pursuant  to  a  call  a  large  number  of  local  horse  lovers  met 
at  the  City  Hall  last  evening  for  the  organization  of  a  gentle- 
men's driving  club,  the  purpose  of  which  was  fully  narrated 
in  a  recent  issue  of  the  Imprint. 

J.  H.  McNabb  was  selected  as  temporary  Chairman,  while 
D.  J.  Healey  officiated  as  Secretary. 

Afterseveral  stirring  speeches  and  the  regular  organization 
of  the  club,  the  following  officers  were  elected:  President,  Dr. 
I.  M-  Proctor;  Vice-President,  J.  H.  McNabb;  Treasurer,  W. 
H.  Hill  ;  Secretary,  Dr.  Thomas  Maclay  ;  Directors,  Messrs. 
Ingram,  O'Reilly,  Robert  S.  Brown,  J.  H.  McNabb  and  D.  J. 
Healey. 

The  following  committee  on  by-laws  and  rules  was  ap- 
pointed and  will  report  at  the  next  meeting,  which  takes 
place  on  Thursday  evening  of  next  week  :  Thomas  Maclay, 
Robert  Brown  and  J.  H.  McNabb. 

The  club  starts  with  a  large  membership,  and  much  benefit 
and  pleasure  is  expected  to  be  derived  from  it  by  the  mem- 
bers.— Imprint,  May  9. 

,Is   Your    Mare    Barren  ? 


It  may  be  that  all  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use  an 
impregnator.  It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  im- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  effect- 
ive when  everything  else  has  failed.  Several  sets  for  sale  at 
reduced  prices.  Can  be  seen  at  this  office.  Address

Returning  to  the  Fold. 

The  interest  being  taken  in  the  meetings  on  the  Cali- 
fornia Circuit  is  increasing.     Owners  of  horses  who,  by 
their  past  experience,  determined  never  to  have  a  horse 
trained  again   because  the  purses  were  so  small  and  the 
rate  of  entrance   so   high,  making  their   losses  heavy, 
are  now  looking  around  for  first  class  trainers  and  driv- 
ers to  handle  their  horses  for  the  circuit  this  year.     The 
]  glory  of  owniDg  a  winning  horse  fades  away  when  huD- 
I  dreds  of  dollars  are  spent  to  make  them  such,  but   when 
|  with  the  glory  comes  coin  of  the  realm  then  the  case  as- 
sumes a  different  aspect. 

The  directors  of  the  various  associations  have  been  re- 
minded of  the  smallness  of  the  purses  offered  by  the  few 
entries  they  received,  but,  since  the  adoption  of  a  differ- 
ent and  more  generous  scale,  there  is  very  little  cause 
for  complaint.  By  offering  such  large  amounts  at  low 
rates  of  entrance,  and  on  more  liberal  conditions,  horse- 
owners  who  had  been  foremost  on  tbe  turf  a  few  years 
ago,  but  bad  been  frightened  off  by  the  low  amounts  of- 
fered by  the  associations  then,  are  coming  forward  now 
and  taking  a  greater  interest  in  the  racing  qualities  of 
their  stock  than  ever.  The  "  substantial  inducements  " 
and  the  plain  business  proposition  of  realizing  a  good 
profit  on  the  money  spent  in  purchasing  and  developing 
trotters  and  pacers  is  more  satisfactory  to  them  to-day 
than  at  any  other  time.  Besides  this,  it  is  a  subject  of 
self  pride  to  know  that  they  can  pick  out  a  colt  or  filly 
which  can  win  money.  Nobody  knows  how  much  unde- 
fined pleasure  and  unspeakable  joy  it  is  for  one  to  see 
his  colt  or  filly  come  under  the  wire  a  winner,  unless 
he  has  enjoyed  the  privilege  of  being  an  owner.  The 
way  the  game  little  youngster  never  falters,  notwith- 
standing the  shouts  of  the  multitude,  cracking  of  whips, 
or  the  excitement  which  is  always  to  be  found  when  the 
goal  is  reached,  is  never  erased  from  the  memory  of  such 
a  man.  Anyone  who  has  enjoyed  the  sensation  of 
having  a  winner  never  forgets  the  place,  the  time,  nor  the 
race  that  youngster  won ;  it  remains  uppermost  in  his 
mind  as  long  as  life  lasts,  and  to  own  another  that  will 
give  him  a  renewal  of  that  gratification  is  the  dream  and 
ambition  of  his  life.  But  when  the  purses  were  cut  down, 
the  rates  of  entrance  were  increased,  and  thus  the  most 
alluring  attractions  of  the  race  track,  the  magnets  that 
drew  him  once  to  tbe  charmed  circle,  lost  all  their  power. 
The  knowledge  that  to  own  a  winning  horse  one  must 
lose  money  in  training  it  and  never  get  it  back  from  the 
winnings  was  discouraging.  The  only  recompense  for 
all  his  work,  the  only  way  he  could  realize  upon  the 
labor  performed  to  make  the  colt  a  winner,  was  to 
sell  it  to  some  one  and  see  it  go  into  other  hands  to  be 
abused.  This  was  not  a  pleasant  prospect  for  the  true 
lover  of  a  faithful  horse. 

A  change  has  come  to  pass  and  the  associations  which 
have  been  foremost  in  offering  big  purses  this  year 
Bhould  be  well  patronized,  for  they  have,  by  their  liber- 
ality, induced  many  to  return  to  their  first  and  best 
love,  that  of  breeding,  raising  and  developing  fast  trot- 
ters and  pacers  that  have  not  only  good  pedigrees  but  in- 
dividuality as  well. 

The  dates  for  the  closing  of  entries  are  approaching 
fast  and,  as  many  of  our  larger  California  horse-owners 
decided,  long  before  the  programmes  of  our  California 
circuit  were  advertised,  to  go  to  the  East  with  their 
strings  of  horses,  the  opportunities  for  those  who  re- 
main here  to  make  more  money  than  absent  ones,  are 
increased  tenfold,  therefore  there  should  be  no  hesitancy 
•n  the  part  of  owners  in  making  entries  in  all  of  the 
meetings  that  are  to  take  place  on  this  coast.  If  the 
horses  they  own  do  not  win  in  one  place,  they  will  have 
a  better  chance  in  the  next  for  the  same  amount  of 
money,  and  the  odds  on  their  colts  will  be  better,  hence 
the  chances  for  making  larger  sums  of  money  in  this 
way  are  increasing. 

Looking  at  it  from  the  standpoint  of  pride  or  the  out- 
look of  pecuniary  gain,  the  promises  held  forth  seem 
very  bright  and  encouraging,  but  their  fulfilment  de- 
pends entirely  upon  the  support  given  by  owners.  The 
associations  will  do  their  part  in  a  way  which  owners  and 
the  public  will  appreciate. 

The  time  to  judge  the  value  of  horses  by  their  earning 
capacity  is  dawning,  and  to  offer  money  enough  to  in- 
crease the  figures  to  a  size  that  will  encourage  owners  to 
train  their  stock  is  the  present.  Let  no  one  stand  by  the 
distance  Hag,  but  all  make  a  struggle  to  get  to  the  wire 
of  progress  first.  Make  entries  now  and  have  your 
horses  ready  when  the  bell  is  tapping  in  the  judges' 
stand. 


R.  B.   Milroy,  Secretary  of  the   California  Jockey 
Club,  informs  us  that  the  meeting  now  in  progress  at  the 


Bay  District  track  will  close  on  the  first  Saturday  in 
June  ;  perhaps  it  may  close  on  May  26th;  it  will 
all  depend  upon  the  booking  privileges  and  the  number 
of  horses,  that  leave  for  the  East  and  North.  President 
Thos.  Williams  Jr.  who  has  been  quite  ill  for  some  time 
has  decided  to  take  a  sea  voyage  and  will  sail  for  Japan 
on  the  next  steamer. 


The  Corbitt  Sale. 


The  importance  of  the  great  sale  of  trotting  stock  at 
the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  on  the  22d  of  May  is  shown 
by  the  fact  that  applications  for  catalogues  are  coming 
from  everywhere  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  There  is  no 
question  about  the  recognized  value  of  the  Wilkes  blood, 
and  especially  that  which  flowed  through  the  veins  of 
the  great  Guy  Wilkes.  His  sons  and  daughters  have 
been  noted  for  all  the  qualities  so  eagerly  sought  after  by 
gentlemen  who  love  to  drive  a  first-class  road  horse  as 
well  as  those  who  follow  the  profession  of  training  and 
driving  trotters  and  pacers  in  races.  There  are  very 
few  representatives  of  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  stal- 
lions on  the  Pacific  Coast  outside  of  the  farm  itself.  This 
sale  will  make  a  great  change  in  this  respect,  for  every- 
one who  has  had  an  opportunity  of  getting  a  representa- 
tive of  Guy  Wilkes  or  Sable  Wilkes,  by  paying  a  high 
price  for  it,  has  been  envied  by  his  neighbors  and 
friends.  This  auction  sale  will  give  all  these  admirers 
of  the  great  Wilkes  family  a  chance  to  purchase  sona 
and  daughters  of  these  sires  out  of  the  best  mares  on  the 
farm  at  their  own  price.  Mr.  Corbitt's  idea  is  to  have 
them  fall  into  the  hands  of  horsemen  who  will  appreciate 
their  true  value  and  develop  the  speed  which  they  un- 
doubtedly inherit.  Here,  in  California,  where  the  purses 
for  trotting  and  pacing  races  are  far  higher  than  they  are 
in  the  East,  a  number  of  young  trainers  will  have  a  very 
good  chance  of  making  a  nice  sum  of  money  by  handling 
any  of  these  colts  or  fillies  for  a  short  time.  And  speak' 
ing  of  this,  it  is  almost  unnecessary  to  remind  our  read' 
ers  that  these  horses  have  not  to  be  trained  to  trot ;  they 
trot  naturally,  and  very  little,  if  any,  boots  are  necessary 
for  them  except  for  protection.  Knee  bangers  are 
unknown  among  the  descendants  of  Guy  Wilkes. 

The  broodmares  have  been  selected  for  their  individu 
ality  as  well  as  breeding,  and  a  finer  lot  was  never  led  in 
front  of  an  auctioneer's  block  than  those  Mr.  Corbitt  has 
decided  to  sell.  Some  have  foals  at  foot,  while  others' 
are  due  to  foal  at  any  time  this  month.  Send  for  cata- 
logues at  once.     We  can  supply  them  to  all  applicants

to  breed,  raise  and  develop  trotters  and  pacers  that  th' 
sustain  the  work  of  the  directors  of  these  associations  I' 
making  liberal  entries  to  all  the  events  they  advf

Blgr  Purses  !     Low  Entrance  I    "Rasy  Payments ! 

This  caption  is  copied  from  the  advertisement  of  the  | 
Petaluma  Fair  Association  and  underneath  it  are  the 
suggestive  words  "  817,200  in  Purses."  It  is  the  first  time 
in  the  history  of  light-harness  racing  in  California  that  I 
this  association  has  offered  so  many  liberal  purses  for  ; 
so  few  races.  The  idea  of  giving  fifteen  races,  and  for  these 
the  large  sum  of  SI  7,200  is  new,  and  yet  the  races  are  so 
well  classified  that  every  trotter  and  pacer  from  the  2:40 
class  to  the  campaigner  that  has  .won  his  way  in*n 
the  free-for-all  class  is  accommodated.  The  manage* 
ment,  for  their  liberality  in  offering  such  a  programme 
and  such  purses  at  a  rate  of  entrance  so  low  that  no  ob- 
jection can  be  made,  should  receive  the  unqualified  sup- 
port of  every  horseman  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  It  is  to 
their  interest,  to  make  this  meeting  at  Petaluma  a  success, 
and  it  is  also  to  their  interest  to  send  their  entries  in  at 
once,  and  not  wait  until  after  the  date  of  closing  and  say  : 
"I  forgot  all  about  it!"  If  you  did  forget,  and  if  the  as- 
sociation re-opens  the  purses  which  did  not  fill,  you  will 
discover  that  the  conditions  of  entry  are  changed  and  in 
order  to  have  your  horse  at  the  Petaluma  races  where 
he  might  stand  a  chance  to  make  a  lot  of  money,  you 
will  have  to  pay  five  per  cent,  for  entrance  and  five  per 
cent,  before  you  start.  Petaluma's  fame  as  a  racing  cen- 
tre, and  as  a  place  where  the  races  are  better  attended  than 
in  any  city  in  California  except  the  State  Fair,  is  known 
to  all.  Th'is  year  Track  Superintendent  Bowen  has  the 
course  in  excellent  condition  and  the  stalls  are  all  cleaned 
and  in  perfect  order  for  the  horses  that  are  to  come;  the 
climate  is  unsurpassed,  and  the  interest  taken  in  racing 
is  of  the  kind  which  makes  everyone  look  forward  to  at- 
tending the  Petaluma  Fair  with  pleasure. 

When  a  man  can  have  a  2:40  trotter  earn  as  much 
as  a  horse  in  the  2:20  class,  and  horses  of  all  records  be- 
tween these  two  can  also  trot  for  $1,000  purses,  surely 
there  should  he  no  hesitancy  on  the  part  of  owners  mak- 
ing entries,  and  especially  as  no  money  is  required  at  the 
time  entries  are  made.  The  free-for-all  trotting  and  pac- 
ing races  at  $1,500  should  also  fill  well.  We  want  to  see 
a  goodly  list  of  entries  for  these.  There  are  enough 
horses  here  to  make  these  events  decidedly  interesting, 
and  owners  should  not  hesitate  to  send  in  their  names. 
The  district  purses  for  colts  are  large  and  every  one  of 
them  should  fill  well  also. 

This  is  the  last  notice  our  readers  will  receive 
and  we  trust  they  will  be  generous  with  their 
entries,  for  the  success  of  the  light  harness  horses 
on  this  Coast,  depend  in  a  great  measure  upon  the  result 
of  this  meeting.  Entries  will  close  next  Tuesday  (May 
15th).  Entry  blanks  can  be  had  at  this  office  or  from 
the  Secretary,  Thos.  Maclay,  Petaluma,  Cal.  Kemember, 
big  purses,  low  entrance  and  easy  payments  is  the  mot- 
to adopted  by  this  association,  which  gives  $17,200  in 
purses  at  their  meeting  this  fall  to  the  horsemen  who 
compete  in  the  races. 


body  wants  it ;  but  when  reaction  comes,  as  every  past  experience 
teaches  that  it  will,  nobody  wants  it.  Money  is  made  b/bnyine  tow 
and  selling  high,  in  other  words  baying  an  article  when  few  are 
wanting  it  and  selling  it  when  everybody  wants  it.  Yet  it  is  only  the 
germinal  and  matore  millionaires  thai  do  business  this  way, and  that 
is  why  they  become  such. 

The  trotting  horse  badness  at  the  present  timeoflers  a  grand  oppor- 
tunity for  independent  business  sagacity.  The  demand  is  at  low  tide 
mark,  and  to  suppose  it  will  remain  there  is  no  more  reasonable  than 
to  suppose  that  because  the  sun  is  low  in  the  Western  sty  this  even- 
ing at  6ve  o'clock  that  it  will  not  be  on  the  meridian  tomorrow  at 
high  noon.  There  can  be  no  rational  parallel  drawn  between  the 
falling  oft"  in  the  Jersey  or  short-horn  cattle  business  and  the  shrink- 
age of  trotting  horse  values.  The  earning  capacity  of  blooded  cattle 
artificial  though  it  was,  has  totally  disappeared,  while  the  earning 
capacity  of  the  trotter  is  largely  on  the  increase  each  succeeding 
year.  In  speaking  thns,  we  have  reference  to  actual  trotters  and 
pacers,  and  not  to  s.  t  b's. 

As  is  usual,  one  extreme  has  followed  another,  and  the  unreason- 
able high  prices  paid  a  few  years  ago  for  trotting  stock  is  followed 
now  by  the  other  extreme  of  unreasonably  low  prices,  and  those  who 
take  advantage  of  this  situation  and  buy  now  while  every  one  else 
wantsito  sell,  will  surely;reap  the  benefit  of  the  rising  tide  that  is 
distant  in  the  future  only  to  a  revival  of  the  general  financial  situa- 
tion. 


Woodland  Fair. 


The  attention  of  our  readers  is  called  to  the  advertise- 
ment of  the  Woodland  Fair  Association.  Entries  for  the 
races  will  close  June  1st.  Entrance  only  five  per  cent, 
of  the  amount  of  the  puree.  As  this  fair  takes  place  the 
week  preceding  the  State  Fair,  and  as  the  track,  accom- 
modations, management  and  climate  are  unsurpassed, 
the  success  of  the  meeting  last  year  will  surely  be 
repeated.  Everyone  who  attended  then  will  not  miss  the 
meeting  this  year  for  anything. 


The    St.  Louis  Meeting. 


A  notification  to  owners  of  trotters  and  pacers  is 
all  that  is  necessary  at  this  time  to  call  their  attention 
to  the  closing  of  entries  for  the  various  events  advertised 
by  the  Solano  Agricultural  Association  for  their  races  at 
Vallejo  this  fall.  The  date  selected  is  June  2d,  and 
entries  must  all  be  sent  to  Secretary  Kelly,  of  Vallejo, 
by  that  time. 


The  Question   of    Trotting  Horse   Values. 


It  is  most  encouraging  to  see  the  hopeful  tone  per- 
vading the  columns  of  the  leading  turf  journals  anent  the 
value  of  trotting  stock.  The  Western  Horseman  in  its 
last  issue  publishes  the  following  comprehensive  view  of 
the  situation.  In  the  doctrine  promulgated  of  late  by 
horsemen  it  is  universally  conceded  that  the  value  ofall 
other  live  stock  cannot  be  judged  on  the  same  lines  as 
that  of  trotting  horses,  because  the  earning  capacity  of 
the  latter  is  largely  on  the  increase  each  succeeding 
year,  while  the  earning  capacity  of  the  former  has  en- 
tirely disappeared: 

Line  upon  line  and  precept  upon  precept  does  not  prevent  one  ex- 
treme following  another  in  the  common  and  every  day  walks  of  Iif«p 
The  enaction  and  re-enactions  of  object  lessons  fail  to  leave  behind 
them  sufficiently  lasting  impressions  to  prevent  people  from  time 
and  again  going  throngh  the  same  experiences  in  life,  however 
fraught  the  act  may  be  with  bitter  results.  The  human  race  is  prone 
to  tollow  present  waves  of  sentiment  regardless  of  the  object  lessons 
of  the  past.  In  all  phases  of  human  industry  it  seems  natural  for 
one  extreme  to  follow  another,  and  the  tro  I  ting-horse  business  proves 
txception  to  the  rule. 

A  tew  years  ago  the  limit  to  the  price  one  buyer  would  give  for  an 
animal  was  ganged  only  by  the  limit  of  an  opposing  bidder's  stake, 
and  not  by  what  he  himself  regarded  as  a  fair  value  of  the  animal, 
based  upon  a  reasonable  expectancy  of  earning  capacity.  Now  the 
same  principle  rules  as  to  lvalues,  only  in  a  revised  action  of  pro- 
cedure. A  prospective  buyer  will  select  out  certain  animals  to  be 
offered  at  a  given  public  sale,  investigate  theit  merits  and  make  up 
his  mind  that  he  can  well  afford  to  give  S500  er  51,000  apiece  for 
them,  well  knowing  that  their  actual  earning  capacity  indications 
make  them  well  worth  the  amount,  even  though  they  should  not  at- 
tract the  attention  of  another  bidder.  Yet,  when  these  same  animals 
are  put  up  for  sale,  if  other  bidders  do  not  seem  anxious  for  them 
this  party  who  has  carefully  weighed  them  and  found  them  not  lack! 
ing,  will  stand  by  and  see  them  sell  for  one-fifth  of  what  he  knows 
them  to  be  worth,  simply  because  no  one  else  seems  to  want  them. 

All  kinds  of  business  pursuits  ebb  and  flow,  yet  mankind  seems 
unwilling  to  gauge  the  future  of  any  business  only  by  the  present- 
not  the  past,  and  if  an  article  of  commerce  is  high  and  in  active  de- 
mand, it  1b  at  once  granted  that  it  will  always  remain  so,  and  every- 


The  attention  of  our  readers  is  called  to  the  valuable 
stakes  offered  by  the  St.  Louis  Fair  Association  at  its 
coming  meeting  May  5th  to  June  22d,  entries  to  which 
will  close  next  Tuesday,  May  15th.  A  number  of  horse- 
men now  at  the  Bay  District  track  are  making  arrange- 
ments to  go  East  with  their  strings  of  horses,  and  they 
cannot  afford  to  overlook  this  splendid  meeting.  The 
programme  is  an  excellent  one.  All  the  events  have 
sufficient  added  money  to  give  them  a  guaranteed  value 
of  $2,000  to  $5,000  each.  They  include  four  events  for 
three -year- olds  and  upward,  and  five  for  two-year-olds. 
The  Street  Eailway  Stakes,  $2,000  guaranteed,  is  to  be 
run  Thursday,  May  24th.  It  is  a  handicap  sweepstakes, 
for  three-year-olds  and  upward,  at  a  mile,  with  $20  to 
enter  and  $30  additional  to  start.  Weights  are  to  be  an- 
nounced two  days  before  the  race,  and  winners  after  the 
publication  of  weights  are  penalized  seven  pounds.  On 
the  following  Wednesday,  May  30th,  another  handicap, 
for  three -year-olds  and  upward,  The  Memorial,  with 
$2,000  guaranteed,  will  be  decided.  It  is  at  a  mile  and 
a  sixteenth,  and  has  practically  the  same  conditions,  ex- 
cept that  winners,  after  publication  of  the  weights,  are 
only  penalized  five  pounds.  The  Club  Members' Handi- 
cap, at  a  mile  and  a  quarter,  has  the  very  liberal  guaran- 
teed money  of  $5,000,  of  which  $600  to  second  and  $300 
to  third,  the  fourth  to  save  his  stake.  Entrance  is  $25, 
with  $75  additional  to  start.  Weights  are  to  be  an- 
nounced May  22d,  and  the  race  is  to  be  run  June  2d. 
This  event  will  undoubtedly  prove  one  of  the  features  of 
the  meeting,  aod  it  ought  to  attract  a  large  list  of  entries. 
The  St.  Louis  Breeders'  Stakes,  at  a  mile  and  a  furlong, 
$2,000  guaranteed,  to  be  run  June  14th,  completes  the 
announced  events  for  three-year- olds  and  upward. 

There  ought  to  be  some  very  good  two-year-old  racing 
at  the  St.  Louis  meeting.  The  events  offered  in  this 
class  are  the  Kindergarten,  $2,000  guaranteed,  at  five 
furlongs,  to  be  run  June  7  ;  The  Debutante  (for  fillies) 
$2,000  guaranteed,  five  furlongs,  to  be  divided,  June  16; 
the  Gasconade,  five  and  a  half  furlongs,  $2,000  guaran- 
teed, to  be  run  June  19  ;  The  Missouri,  at  six  furlongs, 
$2,500  guaranteed,  to  be  run  June  22,  and  the  Mer- 
chants' and  Manufacturers'  Stakes,  five  and  a  half  fur- 
longs, $2,000  guaranteed,  to  be  decided  June  5.  These 
all  have  a  $20  entrance  fee,  with  $30  additional  to  start, 
except  The  Missouri,  in  which  the  entrance  fee  is  $25, 
and  $35  additional  to  start.  They  are  all  handicaps, 
and  all  have  winning  penalties,  so  that  the  owner  of 
even  a  moderate  class  colt  or  filly  can  readily  see  the  ad- 
vantage of  entering  in  them.  Conditions  in  full  of  these 
events  may  be  noted  in  the  advertisement  elsewhere. 


A  Nirw  event  has  been  added  to  the  summer  meeting 
of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association.  It  is  for  the  2:17  class 
trotters  and  the  purse  is  $1,000.  Send  in  entries  at  once. 
They  will  close  June  1st.  Kead  th«  advertisement  for

Spring  Meeting. 


The  spring  meeting  at  Portland,  Ore.,  promises  to  be  the 
grandest  affair  ever  held  in  the  metropolis  of  the  North 
Pacific.  Large  stables  of  horses  are  being  trained  through- 
out Oregon  and  Washington  for  this  meeting,  and  the  prompt 
manner  in  which  horsemen  are  paid  always  brines  a  goodly 
number  from  the  outside. 

Oregon  Turf  Notes. 


Sixty  horses  are  in  actual  training  at  Irvington  Park, 
Portland,  Oregon. 

K.  C.  Smith's  great  pacer  Kittitas  Ranger  hit  himself  while 
being  exercised,  and  is  now  laid  up  for  repairs. 

Sam  Costo  is  training  fifteen  trotters  at  Irving  Park.  He 
will  come  to  California  after  the  spring  meeting. 

A.  G.  Ryan  has  a  yearling  that  can  trot  one-eighth  of  a 
mile  in  0:20,  and  is  considered  the  "  boss  "  of  Oregon. 

Tbere  will  be  some  lively  contests  at  Portland,  Ore.,  as  it 
is  the  first  meeting  of  the  season  and  the  horses  are  all  get- 
ting in  good  trim. 

The  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association  will  hang  up 
a  purse  for  a  double  team  race  to  be  trotted  Saturday,  Jnne  2, 
between  the  following  teams:  Hamrock,  2:22  and  Vanquit, 
2:19,  representing  Hambletonian  Mambrino;  Pearl  Fisher, 
2:23^  and  Trumont,  2:21},  representing  Altamont;  Blondie 
pacing,  2:15  and  trotting,  2:19}  and  Pilot  Lemont,  2:21  J,  rep- 
resenting Lemont.  This  will  be  a  great  drawing  card  as  it 
will  be  a  fight  for  "blood." 


Samuel  Gamble  has  for  many  years  been  a  seeker 
after  notoriety ;  before  he  gets  ';hrough  writing  spicy 
letters  and  denying  what  he  asserted  to  be  true  about 
StambouPs  record  while  in  this  State,  he  will  wish  he 
had  kept  quiet  a  few  years  longer.  He  had  some  friends 
in  California,  and  his  six  months'  silence  that  he  claims 
to  have  kept  about  the  Stamboul  record  surprises  them 
more  than  the  statement  he  makes  in  his  "  last  epistle  to 
the  turf  journals."  The  Turf,  Field  and  Farm  says, 
"  We  shall  accept  the  decision  of  the  National  Trotting 
Association  until  it  is  reversed.  If  Mr.  Gamble  is  right 
it  should  be  reversed;  if  he  is  wrong  he  should  be  severely 
censured  for  the  statement  that  he  has  recently  made." 
We  go  still  further,  if  he  is  wrong  he  should  never  be 
allowed  on  a  race  track. 


J  as.  Dustix  has  decided  to  remain  on  the  Pacific 
Coast  instead  of  going  East.  He  has  a  trio  at  good  ones 
which  will  make  some  of  our  horses  move  very  fast  to 
get  to  the  wire  ahead  of  them. 


Look  at  This. 


The  Central  and  Union  Pacific  is  conceded  by  all  horse- 
men to  be  the  best  and  most  confortable  line  to  ship  horses  by, 
being  a  day  and  one-half  to  two  days  quicker  to  all  points 
East,  and  the  most  comfortable  for  the  horsemen,  for  it  is  the 
only  line  running  Pullman  Sleeping  and  Dining  Cars  from 
San  Francisco  to  Chicago  wiihout  change.  Through  trains 
daily  to  all  points  East  and  Northeast 

You  will  find  tickets  at  all  the  offices  of  the  Southern  Pa- 
cific by  this  favorite  line,  and  also  at  the  General  Office,  No. 
1  Montgomery  Street,  San  Francisco.

Horsemen  going  to  Montana  should  not  overlook  the  lib- 
eral programme  offered  at  Portland,  Ore.  Portland  is  part 
of  the  Northern  circuit  and  on  a  direct  line  to  Montana. 
Arrangements  have  been  made  with  railroad  companies  for 
special  rates  via  Portland  and  return.  Entry  blanks  are  now 
out,  and  all  those  not  receiving  some  will  please  address  M.

At  Newmarket  Wednesday  the  2,000  Guineas  stake  was  won 
by  Lord  Rosebery's  Ladas.  Lord  Arlington's  Matchbox  was 
second  and  Sir  J.  Blundell  Maple's  Athlooe  was  third.  Ladas 
is  a  bay  colt  by  Hampton,  out  of  illuminata.  He  is  looked 
upon  as  the  probable  winner  of  the  Derby.  To-day's  race  was 
over  a  course  known  as  the  Rowley  mile.  The  betting  was 
6  to  5  on  Ladas,  9  to  4  against  Matchbox  and  1,000  to  15 
against  Athlone.  A  length  and  a  half  separated  the  first  and 
second  horse,  and  the  second  was  six  lengths  ahead  of  the 
third  at  the  winning  post. 

Saltpetre,  half-brother  to  the  world-renowned  Salvator, 
being  by  imp.  Glenelg,  dam  Salina,  is  making  a  season  in  the 
stud  near  Montreal,  Canada.  His  stud  fee  (to  insure)  has 
been  fixed  at  the  ridiculous  figure  of  $15.  This  horse  is 
16.1  in  height,  has  run  a  mile  in  1:41,  and  took  first  prize  at 
the  Provincial  Exhibition  in  Montreal,  1893.  Salvator's  stud 
fees  is  more  than  100  times  as  large  in  all  probability — that 
is,  if  his  services  can  be  secured  at  all  by  outsiders. 


We  publish  this  week  a  notice  of  the  recovery  of  E.  B. 
Vreeland  as  <ve  are  personally  acquainted  with  the  proprie- 
tors of  the  remedy  referred  to  in  the  interview  with  Mr. 
Vreeland.  We  take  this  means  of  directing  the  attention  of 
our  readers  to  this  article,  as  this  is  one  of  those  thiDgs  sus- 
ceptible of  proof,  the  known  reputation  for  truth  of  Mr. 
Vreeland  being  unquestioned.  We  earnestly  request  our 
readers  to  personally  interview  him  at  his  residence.

with  age.  

Rosita  A„  2: 15 j,  and  Flora  S.,  2:ISJ,  were  worked  a  mile 
in  8:27  this  week.  

Entries  for  the  Vallejo  meeting  will  close  June  2d.  Read 
the  advertisement-  

J.  H.  SHULTS'  Thistle,  2:13?.,  will  probably  not  be  seen 
upon  the  turf  again. 

Kiuvis  C,  2:15,  by  Elector,  is  one  of  the  new  arrivals  at 
the  driving  park,  Buffalo. 

1'R.  Stkkkv  is  working  splendidly  in  the  hands  of  that 
able  reinsman,  Andy  McDowell. 

Flying  Jib,  2:04,  and  Dr.  Sperry,  2:14',,  both  pacers,  did 
some  very  speedy  work  Wednesday. 

lit  i  da.  2:08},  will  not  go  East  this  year.  Mr.  Hickok 
has  concluded  not  to  race  her  this  season. 


It  is  definitely  settled  that  Monroe  Salisbury  and  Orrin  A. 
Hickok  will  leave  for  the  East  on  the  20th  of  this  month. 


HxvKyou  received  a  catalogue  of  the  sale  of  the  San  Mateo 
trotters?     If  not,  send  a  postal  to  this  office  at   once  for  one. 

A  sale  of  trotting  col's  and  geldings  similar  to  the  one 
held  last  month  will  take  place  at  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  in 
June.  

Sam  Hoy  has  a  string  of  very  promising  trotters  and  pac- 
ers at  Winters.  He  will  be  seen  on  the  California  circuit 
with  them.  

The  track  at  Oakland  is  in  splendid  shape  and  a  number 
of  our  leading  trotting  horse  drivers  are  working  their  horses 
on  it  every  day. 

It  is  said  that  Mambrino  Abdallah  served  eighty-four 
mares  last  season  and  got  eighty-two  of  them  in  foal.  He  is 
twenty  years  old. 

Paola,  2:28^  brother  of  Palo  Alto,  2:08i,  recently  trotted 
a  quarter  to  road-cart  in  36  seconds.  He  will  be  raced  on 
the  Teyas  circuit.  

Orris  A.  Hickok  will  have  a  string  of  four  trotters  to 
take  East,  but  one  of  the  members  of  that  quartette  is  the 
great  Directum,  king  of  all  stallions. 

Remember  a  number  of  big  purses  have  been  re-opened 
for  the  summer  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association, 
entries  for  which  will  close  June  1st. 


It  is  reported  that  Dr.  Day's  European  experience,  in- 
cluding the  ''  Day-ly  hints  from  Paris,"  did  not  prove  re- 
munerative, and  that  he  has  abandoned  the  game. 

Klamath  will  not  be  seen  on  the  Eastern  Circuit  this 
year  we  are  told,  notwithstanding  his  name  appears  in  the 
list  of  entries  of  many  of  the  principal  meetings  in  the  East. 

Walter  Maben  has  a  string  of  fifteen  at  Los  Angeles. 
Among  the  lot  are  several  that  will  take  a  share  of  the  purses 
in  the  races  in  which  they  are  entered  in  the  California  cir- 
cuit.   

E.  C.  Prescott  was  at  Fleetwood  Sunday.  His  horse,  The 
Dane,  a  good  one.by  Stamboul,  dam  the  dam  of  Lilly  Stanley, 
2:17£,  will  be  sent  this  week  to  Meadow  Brook  Farm,  near 
Newbury. 

Electrina,  2:20,  by  Richard's  Elector,  dam  Stemwinder, 
will  not  go  East  as  was  intended.  Instead,  she  will  be  bred 
to  Diablo.  Electress,  2:27,  will  also  be  bred  to  the  four-year- 
old  pacing  king. 

The  gray  stallion  Dick  Richmond,  by  A.  W.  Richmond, 
dam  Belle,  by  Ben  Wade,  that  lowered  his  record  to  2:20  at 
the  Petaluma  Fair  last  year,  has  been  sold  to  a  wealthy  gen- 
tleman of  Arizona. 

A  two-year-old  colt  named  Puente,  by  Silkwood,  trotted 
a  full  mile  without  a  skip  at  Agricultural  Park,  Los  An- 
geles, last  Saturday  in  2:30  flat,  to  a  cart.  The  colt  is  owned 
by  William  Rowland. 

Akion,  2:07;,  has  ,( nigger  heels"  and  hence  a  knea 
banger.— Western  Recources.  He  must  have  been  badly 
handled  since  he  left  California  for  a  more  perfect  line  trotter 
was  never  seen  on  the  turf  than  he. 


Katie  Earl  (2:11  J),  by  Earl,  died  at  the  Ketcham  Farm 
May  2d  at  Toledo,  Ohio.  She  won  more  money  in  1893  than 
any  other  horse  on  the  American  turf,  and  her  owner,  George 
H.  Ketcham,  had  refused  $20,000  for  her. 


A  8I8TEK  to  the  great  Little  Albert,  2:10,  is  heavy  with  foal 
to  Direct,  2:054.  Although  Mr.  Bradbury  owns  the  mare  it 
is  dollars  to  doughnut*  Monroe  Salisbury  will  have  an  anx- 
ious hankering  after  the  little  one  when  it  comes. 

Have  you  noticed  the  avertisement  in  this  issue  of  the 
State  Agricultural  Society  ?  If  you  have  not,  it  will  pay  you 
to  do  so.  The  guaranteed  stake  of  $5,000  for  foals  of  1894  is 
an  excellent  one,  and  should  receive  a  large  list  of  entries. 

COMB.  Ihkikk  will  not  have  McKinney,  2:11.),  on  the 
circuit  this  year  ;  he  will  have  seven  of  his  sons  and  daugh- 
ters, however,  that  will  be  candidates  for  2:30  honors.  He 
has  a  green  mare — a  trotter — that  is  a  second  Klamath.  Her 
pedigree  was  not  sent  us.

2:16;  Blondie,  2:16:  Nulford,  2:15:  Nellie  G  ,  2.15  and  per- 
haps Silkwood,  2:08)  will  be  seen  in  the  pacing  races  in  this 
Stale  this  year. 

An  amusingly  bumptious  writer  for  a  certain  Indiana  daily 
paper  echoes  the  Siaruboul-record  « lories  that  have  recently 
been  afflicted  upon  a  Millet  ing  public  and  yelps  upon  his  own 
account  ''  it  is  time  for  some  one  to  rise  up  and  say  how  Saool 
got  the  Pi  never  could  beat."     It  in  now  in  order  for 

flome  other  it-  picacious  a  sensation-monger  to  yell  "  it  is 

time  for  some  on*  to  rise  up  and  say  how  Nancy    Hanks  got 
the  record  she  could  never  beat." 


To  bring  a  good  price  nowadays  a  horse  must  possess 
speed  ;  to  prove  that  he  has  speed  he  must  be  raced. 

The  little  turf  journal  called  Direct,  which  was  published 
at  Pleasanton,  passed  out  of  existence  last  Saturday.  We 
regret  ils  sudden  taking  off,  for  its  columns  were  tilled  with 
news  about  the  greatest  horse  town  of  its  size  in  the  world. 

Col.  H.  I.  Thornton  has  taken  a  number  of  well-matched 
eoltsjand  fillies,  sired  by  James  Madison,  2:172,  to  Los  Angeles, 
where  he  will  sell  them  by  auction.  Every  young  Madison 
we  hear  of  is  a  sure  candidate  for  2:30  honors  as  a  two-year- 
old.  

There  is  a  little  black  two-year-old  stallion,  by  Direct,  in 
Mr.  Salisbury's  string  that  will"  be  a  sensational  performer  on 
the  Eastern  turf  this  year.  If  there  is  a  two-minute  pacer 
in  existence  we  believe  this  little  fellow  to  be  the  coming 
wonder.  

Joe  Thayer,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  sold  last  week  to  R.  M. 
Anderson  his  bay  colt  Styles,  two  years  old,  by  Electricity, 
dam  by  Electioneer ;  second  dam  by  Wildidle  ;  third  dam 
(dam  of  Manzanita  (4),  2:16,  and  Wildflower  (2),  2:21),  by 
St.  Clair.     Price  $1,200. 

A  yearling  colt  at  the  Santa  Rita  Stock  Farm  is  entered 
in  nearly  all  the  colt  events  throughout  the  State  circuit. 
"The  little  fellow  has  a  wonderful  turn  of  speed,"  says  Mr. 
Sutherland,  "  and  no  doubt  will  keep  the  talent  guessing 
when  he  comes  out  to  race." 

W.  A.  Clark,  oi  Butte,  Mont,  who  bought  Murat,  is  also 
the  owner  of  Major  Wonder,  2:09}.  The  son  of  Director  will 
join  the  Major  in  Gil  Curry's  string  at  Nashville  and  will  be 
given  a  chance  forthwith  to  show  whether  he  is  the  "  fastest 
trotter  in  the  world  without  a  record." 

On  Tuesday  next  entries  to  the  great  Petaluma  Fair  will 
close.  Over  $17,000  will  be  given  in  purses.  Make  your 
entries  at  once.  If  you  do  not,  and  some  of  the  events  do 
not  fill,  they  will  be  re-opened,  then  the  conditions  of  entry 
will  be  changed  to  conform  to  the  delay. 

The  way  May  22d  will  be  celebrated  by  horsemen  on  this 
coast  will  be  by  attending  the  great  sale  of  trotting  stock  at 
the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm.  Bargains  will  be  secured,  aod 
all  who  are  seeking  to  get  representatives  of  the  Wilkes  and 
Director  families  will  have  opportunities  for  finding  them 
there  that  they  may  never  have  again. 

John  Bachelor's  gray  mare  Mayfly,  2:31J,  by  Norwood, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Reavis'  Blackbird,  and  long  noted  as  one 
of  the  best  road  mares  in  Sacramento,  dropped  a  handsome 
brown  filly  last  week  sired  by  P.  J.  Shields'  stallion  Director 
Jr.  Mr.  Bachelor  was  so  well-pleased  with  the  well-formed 
youngster  that  he  decided  to  breed  the  mare  back  again.

Percy  Talbert's  fine  trotting  stallion  Alsatian,  by  Sul- 
tan, dam  Alma  Mater,  ran  away  with  his  trainer,  John  Far- 
ris,  on  the  track  at  Lexington  last  Wednesday,  breaking  Mr. 
Farris'  leg  below  the  knee  and  the  horse's  neck.  Alsatian  was 
one  of  the  most  valuable  young  stallions  around  Lexington, 
and  gave  promise  of  being  a  performer  this  year.  He  was  six 
years  old.  

The  following  are  the  latest  youngsters  at  the  Pleasanton

The  Vallejo  race  track  is  already  becoming  the  scene  of 
activity.  Some  twenty-five  horses  are  out  there  to  be  kept 
until  the  fall  races.  Wednesday  afternoon  six  horses  came 
down  from  Suisun  Valley  to  go  in  training.  The  track  is  in 
excellent  condition  and  the  entire  place  is  neat  and  in  good 
order.  A  number  of  more  horses  will  be  at  the  track  within 
the  next  week  or  two. 

The  practical  horseshoers  of  Philadelphia  and  others  in- 
terested in  the  care  of  horses  listened  last  Friday  to  William 
E.  Russell,  of  Cincinnati,  who  lectured  on  *'  What  is  Horse- 
shoeing?" Dr.  Fitzpatrick  discussed  "Methods  that  will 
Benefit  the  Trade,"  and  Professor  Adams,  of  the  veterinary 
department  of  the  University  of  Pennsylvania,  delivered  a 
short  lecture  on  "  The  Anatomy  of  the  Horse's  Foot.  It 
would  be  a  good  idea  to  have  such  lectures  in  every  State  in 
the  Union. 

Quite  a  commotion  has  been  stirred  up  at  Lodi  over  the 
failure  of  the  manager  of  the  track  to  keep  it  in  fit  condition 
to  train  on.  In  consequence  thereof  nearly  all  the  horses 
that  have  been  quartered  there  all  winter  and  spring  have 
left  Lodi.  The  largest  stable  to  leave  was  that  of  Keating  & 
Ottinger.  Horsemen  must  have  good  track  accommodations

hooves all  managers  of  tracks  to  see  that  they  are  kept  in 
first-class  condition. — Direct. 

Trotting  powers  are  not  confined  to  one  family  of  the 
equine  race.  Billy  F.  is  the  Iowa  gelding  whose  sire  is  un- 
known and  whose  dam  is  a  Shetland  pony  mare.  He  started 
in  nine  races  last  year  and  won  four,  with  a  piece  of  the 
money  in  all  the  others.  Irrespective  of  the  blood  that  is  so 
conspicuous  by  its  absence  in  his  pedigree,  he  is  a  racehorse 
of  first  caliber,  and  at  Independence  last  October  he  forced 
Miss  Cleveland  out  a  third  heat  in  2:17);  and  Don  M.  Donan 
writes  that  the  Shetland  pony  may  show  ihe  way  to  the  wire 
in  Chicago's  first  trotting  Derby. 

In  J.  Schultz's  excellent  trotting  horse  catalogue  for  1804, 
the  pedigree  of  the  dam  of  Oriole,  2:20,  is  given  as  by  Monroe 
Chief — untraced.  Oriole  was  bred  and  raised  by  Col.  IT.  I. 
Thornton.  She  was  by  Monroe  Chief,  out  of  Queen  of  Hearts, 
by  Gladiator;  second  da ni  The  Murphy  Filly,  a  famous  run- 
ning mare  that  was  brought  from  Kentucky  in  early  days  and 
won  some  very  fast  races.  Gladiator  was  a  full  brother  to 
Langford,  being  by  Williamson's  Belmont  (the  Mambrino 
Palchcn  of  the  Pacific),  out  of  Liz  Givens,  by  imp.  Langford  ; 
second  dam  Charlotte  Pace,  by  Sir  Archy  ;  third  dam  by  im- 
ported Restless;  fourth  dam  Green's  Celer  Mare,  by  Celer, 
etc. 


Benj.  F.  Sprague,  of  Lodi,  will  have  his  handsome  trot- 
ting stallion  Re-Elect,  2:2S,  on  the  circuit  _thisyear.  He  is 
a  well  bred  horse.  Sired  by  Elect  (son  of  Electioneer 
and  Inez,  by  Nordale),  out  of  Lizzie,  by  Nephew  126;  second 
dam  Belle  Morrill,  by  Milliman's  Bellfounder ;  third  dam 
Ada  Morrill,  by  Young  Morrill,  a  very  fast  mare  that  Alex. 
Gamble  once  owned  and  sold  to  Geo.  Treat,  of  this  city,  years 
ago;  fourth  dam  a  Vermont  mare. 

The  Grand  Circuit  for  1894  will  open  with  the  greatest 
collection  of  stake  races  ever  held  on  the  track  where  they 
start  the  campaign.  Secretary  Eddy,  of  Saginaw,  Michigan, 
announced  the  list  last  night,  and  the  number  of  entries  fol- 
low :  "  2:28  trot,  $1,000,  22  ;  3:00  trot,  $1,000,  23 ;  2:18  pace, 
$1,000,14;  2:24  pace,  $1,000,  20;  four-year-old  2:21  class, 
$500,  8;  three-year-old  2:30  class,  $400,  18 ;  three -year-old 
pacers,  2:25  class,  $300.  8 ;  two-year-old,  2:40  trotters,  $300, 
11;  two-year-old,  2:35  pacers,  $200, 10;  yearling  trotters,$200, 
10;  yearling  pacers,  $100,  3.  The  Village  Farm,  Ketcham 
Farm,  Monroe  Salisbury,  John  Splan,  Gil  Curry,  Valley 
Stock  Parm,  Woodbine  Farm  aad  all  the  prominent  Michi- 
gan farms  with  campaigning  strings  are  represented. 

"Of  the  thirteen  stakes  offered  by  the  Terre  Haute  Fair  for 
its  meeting,  August  13-1S,  twelve  have  filled  with  243  entries, 
leaving  only  the  2:10  trot  without  the  requisite  number,  but 
seven  nominations  being  found  for  that  class.  The  purse  in 
this  stake  is,  $5,000,  and  we  have  written  each  of  the  seven 
nominators  oneriug  to  let  the  race  go  if  they  will  all  agree  to 
remain  and  trot  for  $2,500.  Under  the  circumstances  we 
consider  this  a  fair  proposition,  and  hope  the  nominators 
will  see  their  way  clear  to  accept  it.  This  will  reduce  our 
aggregate  of  purses  to  $38,000,  but  even  that  is  a  much  larger 
figure  than  is  ofiered  by  any  other  society  this  year,"  writes 
the  secretary  of  that  great  fair. 


The  following  list  of  horses  in  the  2:20  class  embraces 
many  that  will  appear  on  the  California  circuit  this  year:

Walter  Maben  has  a  very  fast  horse  sired  by  Alonzo 
Hayward  that  he  purchased  from  a  gentleman  in  Los  Ange- 
les. The  horse  is  called  Anheuser  Busch,  after  that  most  ex- 
cellent of  all  malt  beverages,  Anheuser  Busch  beer,  It  is  stated 
that  after  Walter  Maben  purchased  the  horse,  the  former 
owner,  who  is  not  well  up  in  horse  literature,  accosted  the 
Southern  knight  of  the  sulky  as  follows:  "Veil,  Mr.  Maben, 
dot  horse  maybe  he  vas  a  great  von.  I  tink  ven  you  spheak 
mit  him  he  vill  go  mit  de  front  in  any  race,  und  leaf  a  big 
crowd  behind  him  ;  but  look  out  ven  de  band  begin  to  blay, 
den  he  yumps  mit  de  air  high  und  stops  short  und  acts  foolish. 
You  vill  not  vant  him  den,  even  if  he  go  de  mile  oat  in  two 
hoondred  und  twelve." 

The  subject  of  which  was  the  best  make  of  buggies  was  up 
the  other  night  in  the  lobby  of  the  Terre  Haute  House  and 
the  preferences  expressed  were  as  many  as  there  were  people 
in  the  group.  George  Starr  was  appealed  to  for  his  opinion. 
"  Well,  my  opinion  of  the  different  makes  of  buggies  is  like 
that  of  Kentucky  colonels  of  whiskies.  They  are  all  good, 
but  some  are  better  than  others.  There  is  an  old  piano-box: 
out  at  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  which  is  now  used  as  a  knock-about 
that  has  had  a  long  and  eventful  life.  In  1872,  when  I  was 
swiping  for  Uncle  Billy  Doble  down  at  Fashion  Farm,  it  was 
sent  up  to  the  farm  by  General  Grant  along  with  his  horses. 
It  was  about  the  only  thing  saved  from  the  fire  of  that  year 
that  burned  the  barns  up.  After  several  years  General  Grant 
made  a  present  of  it  to  General  Beale,  who,  after  using  it  the 
usual  life  of  an  ordinary  buggy,  presented  it  to  Mr.  Salisbury, 
who  has  it  yet.  The  top  has  been  taken  off,  but  the  body  and 
running  gear  are  quite  good  and  strong  yet." — Terre  Haute 
Express. 

I.  H.  Mulholland  of  Independence,  Inyo  County,  called 
on  us  last  week.  Mr.  Mulholland  is  the  editor  of  the  Inyo 
Independent,  and  loves  a  good  horse  as  much  as  Robert  Bon- 
ner. He  purchased  a  very  fine  colt  from  Chas.  Durfee  last 
year.  It  is  called  Osito;  his  sire  is  McKinney,  2.11]-,  and  his 
dam  is  Twilight,  by  Othello,  second  dam  by  Oddfellow,  son 
of  Echo,  third  dam  by  Oddfellow  also,  and  the  fourth  dam  is 
by  George  M.  Patchen  Jr.  31.  Othello  was  by  Sultan,  2:24, 
out  of  Atalanta  (sister  to  Beautiful  Bells).  With  such  excel- 
lent breeding  one  has  a  right  to  expect  a  good  one,  and  no 
prouder  man  ever  led  a  colt  into  a  box  stall  than  Chas.  Dur- 
fee when  Mr.  Mulholland  handed  him  the  halter  strap  and 
told  him  to  do  his  best  with  the  colt.  Mr.  Mulholland  says 
there  was  a  horse  brought  to  Inyo  County  some  years  ago 
called  Albenton.  He  was  by  Gen.  Benton,  out  of  Abbie  by 
Almont,  and  his  progeny  are  wonderfully  fast  '  This  year  it 
is  believed  two  of  them  will  enter  the  charmed  circle. 

A  match  has  been  made  and  the  contract  signed  for  a 
race  at  two  miles,  best  two  in  three,  between  J.  H.  Odell's 
brown  stallion  Greenlander  and  C.  J.  Hamlin's  chestnut  mare 
Nightingale.  The  race  will  be  for  $3,000,  and  it  will  be  the 
first  event  of  the  kind  ever  contested  on  a  Grand  Circuit 
course,  and  as  the  horses  matched  are  the  king  and  queen  at 
this  distance,  intense  interest  will  be  manifested  in  the  race, 
and  the  betting  will  be  heavy,  as  Western  horsemen  will  back 
the  stallion  and  the  Eastern  Grand  Circuit  followers,  who 
have  seen  Nightingale  battle  for  a  whole  day  in  one  race,  will 
play  the  chestnut  mare.  This  race  is  to  take  place  at  the 
Buffalo  track  in  August.  Mr.  Odell  says  Greenlander  never 
looked  so  well  as  he  does  this  spring,  and  he  is  confident  he 
will  earn  a  harness  record  of  2:08,  and  he  is  willing  to  ar- 
range another  match,  and  will  wager  that  Greenlander  can 
beat  any  horse  living  a  race  to  wagon,  best  two  in  three.  Of 
course  Trainer  Geers  thinks  Nightingale  can  beat  the  Indi- 
ana stallion.  "  He  will  know  he  has  been  to  a  horse  race  be- 
fore this  is  over,"  said  Mr.  Geers  yesterday,  "and  will  have 
to  go  some  to  beat  her."  Nightingale  is  acting  better  this 
spring  than  ever  before.  Usually  at  this  time  of  year  she  is 
nervous  and  erratic,  but  so  far  she  has  taken  her  work  most 
kindly  and  has  made  but  three  breaks.  Previous  to  this  year 
she  would  make  as  many  jumps  in  a  day.  She  is  being 
trained  carefully,  and  her  fastest  trial  so  far  has  been  a  quar- 
ter at  about  a  2:18  gait.

THE  SADDLE. 


"Sam"  Doggett,  the  crack  jockey,  has  purchased  a  tract 
of  land  Dear  Chicago,  and  will  start  a  stock  farm.  His  father 
will  have  charge.  

Several  bookmakers  left  last  Sunday  for  Brooklyn,  N, 
Y.j  amoDg  the  number  being  Harry  Corbett  and  "  Overcoat 
Jack"  Atkins.  

Charles  Paul,  the  Oregon  brute  that  bit  off  Matt  GreeD's 
nose  yesterday  at  Bay  District  track,  was  ruled  off  for  life  by 
the  Board  of  Stewards.    

Yokohl,  Little  Joker,  Sir  Charles  Connolly  and  Lord 
Dunbar  were  "added  to  the  list"  at  Oakland  last  Monday 
by  Dr.  Stimpson. 

It  is  hardly  probable  that  Carlsbad,  Charade,  Prince 
George,  Hermitage  and  Yo  Tambien  will  be  starters  in  the 
Brooklyn  Handicap. 

A  Lexington  (Ky.)  dispatch  of  May  9th  says :  Robert 
Swigert's  Brooklyn  handicap  candidate,  Carlsbad,  winner  of 
the  American  Derby  of  1892,  has  gone  lame  and  will  not  be 
sent  East.  ______ 

The  crack  filly  La  Belle,  in  Leigh  &  Rose's  stable,  is  very 
sick  at  Memshis  with  catarrhal  fever,  and  fears  are  enter- 
tained for  her  recovery.  Her  owners  regard  her  as  a  $10,000 
filly. 

Fouk  of  Naglee  Burk's  thoroughbred  mares  were  bred  to 
Flambeau  last  week  at  Palo  Alto,  among  the  number  being 
imp.  Janet  N.  (dam  of  Bellicoso  and  Wandering  Nun),  Reta 
and  Irish  Lass. 

Judge  Clint  Riley  goes  direct  to  Chicago  at  the  conclu- 
sion of  the  meeting,  Col.  Jack  Chinn  to  Kentucky,  where  he 
will  lake  a  few  days  away  from  a  race  course  in  rusticating 
on  his  Kentucky  farm.     ____^__ 

Amos  White,  who  has  been  an  under  trainer  wilh  the 
Macdonough  stable,  has  leased  the  racing  qualities  of  Bliss, 
the  Shannon  filly  out  of  imp.  Cutaway,  from  J.  Tobin,  and 
Chartreuse  from  Mr.  Macdonough.  He  took  charge  of  the 
horses  Saturday.  

James  B.  Ferguson  has  been  engaged  to  do  the  starting 
at  the  Twin  City  meeting  over  Hamline  track,  between  St. 
Paul  and  Minneapolis,  at  the  conclusion  of  the  present  meet- 
ing here.  There  will  be  about  forty  days  of  racing  at  Ham- 
line,  it  is  understood. 

The  public  is  anxiously  awaiting  action  in  the  cases  of 
Bookmakers  Rose  and  Kingsley.  Both  deny  any  wrong-do- 
ing  in  the  King  Sam  matter,  and  Rose  declares  that  not  only 
has  Shaw  lied  if  he  implicates  him  in  the  job,  but  that  he 
does  not  even  know  the  boy. 

Morello  is  reported  to  be  taking  his  gallops  all  right  at 
Ranchodel  Paso,  and  he  may  again  electrify  the  race-goers 
on  the  other  side  of  the  Rockies.  Van  Ness  has  always 
contended  since  the  accident  that  he  would  bring  the  great 
horse  to  the  post  again  in  good  shape. 

Coombs  was  set  down  for  incompetency,  aod  while  he  has 
made  several  rides  that  the  stewards  thought  looked  sus- 
picious, nothing  is  known  at  present  of  any  crooked  work  on 
his  part.  Colonel  Chinn  said  yesterday  that  for  his  part  he 
never  suspected  the  youth  of  being  a  rider. 

Clifford  bids  fair  to  be  absolutely  the  greatest  race  horse 
of  the  year  in  America.  April  25th  he  simply  galloped  away 
from  Yo  Tombien  in  the  Montgomery  Stakes,  nine  furlongs, 
winning  pulled  up  by  five  lengths  in  1:57§  6ver  a  slow  track. 
Clifford  carried  121  pounds,  Yo  Tambien  120. 

The  initial  number  of  the  Racing  Calendar  will  be  pub- 
lished May  3d  and  every  Thursday  thereafter.  The  first 
issue  will  contain  the  amended  rules  of  racing  and  such 
other  information  as  the  Jockey  Club  desires  to  make  public. 
The  Calendar  will  be  printed  for  the  Jockey  Club  bv  H.  A. 
and  J.  F.  Buck.  

A  mile  and  a  quarter  in  2:08i  is  not  made  in  one  race  in 
ten  that  _3  run  on  circular  tracks,  yet  McClelland's  three- 
year-old  colt,  Henry  of  Navarre,  ran  it  in  that  time  Wednes- 
day at  Sheepshead  Bay.  The  effort  was  a  trial  for  the 
Brooklyn  handicap,  and  it  is  said  that  it  far  exceeded  any- 
thing that  has  been  done  by  any  of  the  candidates. 

The  Midlothian — Marigold  filly  is  a  half-sister  to  The 
Bully,  her  dam  being  by  Luke  Blackburn,  her  second  dam 
Anna  Augusta,  by  imp.  Leamington.  The  Darebin — Miss 
Clay  filly,  another  winner  in  Mike  Fox's  stable,  has  for  a 
dam  Miss  Clay,  by  Hindoo,  and  her  dam  was  the  winner, 
Belle  of  Runnymede  (sister  to  Miss  Woodford),  by  imp. 
Billet.  

The  peculiar  notion  of  breeding  as  a  two-year-old  the 
yearling  filly  by  imp.  St.  Blaise,  out  of  Thora,  has  struck 
Charles  Reed,  the  owner  of  the  famous  Fairview  Stud,  aod 
as  a  result  the  half-sister  to  Yorkville  Belle,  Sir  Francis  and 
Dobbins  goes  to  the  stud  without  a  chance  to  make  a  turf 
record.  She  is  a  bay  in  color  and  greatly  resembles  her 
famous  dam.  Thora  now  has  a  suckling  colt  at  her  side  by 
imp.  St.  Blaise,  but,  unlike  his  sister,  he  is  a  chestnut  in 
color,  taking  after  his  $100,000  sire  in  this  respect. 

The  report  of  the  famous  Australian  horse,  Stromboli, 
breaking  down,  turns  out  to  be  unfounded.  He  was  at  work 
on  Saturday  as  usual,  and  showed  no  signs  of  lameness. 
Last  Sunday  the  Macdonough  string  left  this  city  for  Mor- 
ris Park,  Westchester,  N.  Y.  Stromboli  is  in  the  Suburban 
Handicap  at  105  pounds  and  in  a  number  of  stakes  at  Sara- 
toga and  other  racing  points  in  the  far  East.  Trainer  Henry 
WaUh  will  have  charge  of  the  following  for  Mr.  Macdon- 
ough at  the  far  East :  Imp.  Stromboli,  Yo  El  Rey  (who  has 
been  going  in  good  shape),  the  Flambeau — imp.  Cornelia 
filly  and  the  bay  two-year-old  brother  to  Bermuda,  by  Ber- 
san — Fair  Lady. 

In  very  warm  countries  it  is  necessary  to  afford  horses 
whose  work  must  be  done  in  the  heat  of  the  day  some  pro- 
tection against  the  sun's  rays.  In  Texas  some  humane  own- 
ers supply  their  horses  with  straw  hats,  underneath  which  is 
a  sponge  which  is  kept  wet,  and  in  British  India  the  same 
plan  is  followed,  wilh  the  exception  that  pith  is  used  instead 
of  straw,  being  much  lighter.  A  good,  big  sponge,  kept 
thoroughly  wet  and  attached  to  the  piece  of  the  bridle  just  a 
the  poll,  is  ample  protection  and  is  worthy  more  general  use 
even  in  Northern  cities,  where  horses  must  work  all  day  not 
the  streets. 


The  Macdonough  string,  in  charge  of  Henry  Walsh,  was 
shipped  to  Morris  Park,  Westchester,  N.  Y.,  last  Sunday. 
Piggolt  aod  McGuinnes  will  do  the  riding  for  the  stable  this 
season.  In  the  string  are  Stromboli,  the  crack  Australian 
horse,  engaged  in  a  large  number  of  stakes;  Yo  El  Rey, 
brother  to  Yo  Tambien,  winner  of  the  inaugural  Handicap 
at  St.  Louisjlaet  Saturday;  Burmah,  brother  to  Bermuda,  and 
a  filly  by  Flambeau,  dam  imp.  Cornelia,  by  Isonomy. 

There  is  a  strong  movement  on  foot  at  Chadroo,  Neb.,  to 
organize  another  big  horse  race  in  that  vicinity.  The  leader 
of  the  idea  is  W.  R.  Smith  of  that  city,  whose  son  was  one  of 
the  contestants  in  the  long  ride  to  Chicago  last  year.  He  is 
the  owner  of  several  thoroughbreds,  and  it  is  claimed  that  he 
will  back  his  horses  in  the  coming  race  witb  all  kinds  of 
money.  The  event  is  to  be  100  miles,  and  June  6th  has  been 
set  for  the  start. 

Johnnie  Driscoll,  the  gentlemanly  Long  Island  trainer, 
will  have  a  lot  of  good  horses  out  this  season.  Among  the 
horses  he  is  now  training  are  Sabina,  2:15  J,  by  Sable  Wilkes; 
Ella  E.,  2:25,  by  Chicago  Volunteer ;  Vernon,  2:26LS,  by  Whip- 
ple's Hambletonian  ;  Graylight,  2:16a,  by  Starlight;  a  three- 
year-old  by  Stamboul,  out  of  Bon  Bon,  and  that  great  old 
pacer  Arrow,  2:13^,  by  A.  W.  Richmond,  who  in  1886  made 
a  great  campaign  down  the  Grand  Circuit  line. 

Father  Bill  Daly  has  lost  another  "pupil."  This 
Joseph  King,  a  lad  of  nineteen,  and  about  95  pounds  in 
weight,  who  has  worn  the  "  green  above  the  red  "  pretty  fre- 
quently the  last  year  or  two.  There  wa3  some  misunder- 
standing about  the  contract  between  Daly  and  young  King's 
father,  and  the  latter,  in  consequence,  removed  the  boy  from 
Daly's  stable  to  his  home  in  Weehawken,'N.  J.  Young 
King  was  never  given  any  mounts  of  much  promise,  but 
with  what  chances  he  has  had  he  showed  a  very  fair  share 
of  ability,  and  may  eventually  prove  another  of  Daly's 
graduates. 

While  no  official  announcement  has  been  made  by  The 
Jockey  Club,  it  became  known  pretty  definitely  yesterday 
what  the  list  of  officials  is.  As  foretold  in  these  columns, 
there  is  very  little  change  from  last  year.  Col.  R.  W.  Simmons 
is  still  presiding  judge,  and  with  him  are  again  associated 
Messrs.  Clarence  McDowell  and  Victor  Smith.  Mr.  Rowe 
will  do  the  starting,  and  Mr.  C.  J.  Fitzgerald,  who  last  year 
was  patrol  judge,  will  be  clerk  of  the  scales.  The  only  en- 
tirely new  face  among  the  officials  will  be  that  of  Mr.  John 
Hoey,  who  will  assume  the  duties  of  patrol  judge.  As  al- 
ready said,  this  is  not  the  official  list,  but  there  is  little  or  no 
doubt  that  it  is  absolutely  correct. — Daily  American  and 
Mercury. 

New  York  dispatch  of  Monday :  The  position  taken 
by  the  new  jockey  club  has  aroused  the  strongest  kind  of  feel- 
ing among  the  horse-owners  and  trainers  who  are  not  in  the 
monopoly  and  who  are  not  at  all  benefited  by  the  new  turn 
racing  affairs  have  taken,  but  who,  on  the  contrary  are  very 
seriously  affected  by  it.  Protests  are  being  heard  from  every 
quarter.  All  the  prominent  sportiDg  men  and  horse-owners 
unite  in  saying  the  club  will  have  to  abandon  its  present  as- 
sumption of  authority  over  the  clubs  and  race  tracks.  The 
same  fate  is  predicted  for  the  clauses  in  the  rules  relating  to 
forfeits  and  the  taxation  of  the  turfmen.  A  meeting  of  horse- 
owners  and  trainers  and  those  interested  in  racing  was  held 
at  Coney  Island.  The  subject  was  only  informally  discussed. 
A  big  meeting  will  be  held  next  Thursday  at  Gravesend. 
when  a  definite  line  of  action  to  protest  against  the  obnoxious 
rules  will  be  decided  on. 

The  American  Horse  Exchange  has  issued  two  more 
catalogues  of  sales  of  thoroughbred  yearlings.  In  the  con- 
signment of  Belle  Meade,  which  will  be  sold  May  24  and 
May  25,  are  seventy-nine  head.  Among  them  1b  a  full 
brother  to  Tammany,  a  sister  to  Helen  Nichols,  a  half-brother 
to  Clifford,  a  sister  to  Reporter,  a  brother  to  Burch  and  close 
relatives  to  other  distinguished  performers  by  the  dozen.  Of 
the  yearlings  twenty  are  by  the  great  stallion,  Iroquois.  Forty- 
three  yearlings  are  described  in  the  Woodburn  catalogue,  and 
the  array  of  relatives  to  distinguished  horses  is  almost  as 
striking  as  in  The  case  of  the  evening  of  Wednesday,  May  16, 
by  electric  light  at  the  Horse  Exchange.  Both  catalogues 
are  gotten  ud  in  the  most  thorough  manner. — Daily  America 
and  Mercury.  The  Rancho  del  Paso  catalogue  is  a 
very  complete  affair.  One  hundred  and  thirty- 
two  yearlings  are  catalogued  for  sale,  among  the  number  a 
great  many  full  brothers  and  sisters  to  celebrities  of  the  turf. 

Why  the  racing  editors  of  the  Post  and  Chronicle  should 
seek  to  blacken  the  reputation  of  Johnny  Weber  is  hard  to 
understand,  audit  is  certainly  the  most  unwarranted  piece  of 
business  of  the  sort  ever  known  in  San  Francisco.  If  ever 
boys  were  strictly  honest  and  above  reproach,  the  Webers 
are  the  ones  that  can  beheld  up  to  the  other  riders  as  models. 
Dishonor's  breath  never  sullied  their  names  in  any  way,  and 
if  Kingsley  gave  Johnny  Weber  money  for  winning  on  Red 
Cloud  the  public  can  rest  assured  that  it  was  tendered  because 
the  boy  put  up  a  great  ride  on  a  horse  at  long  odds  and  be- 
cause he  (Kingsley)  made  a  big  winning.  That  there  was  any 
fraud  or  collusion  in  the  win  no  one  knowing  the  boy  will  be- 
lieve. If  their  father  had  thought  so  he  would  have  given 
him  cause  to  remember  the  occurrence  very  forcibly.  Be- 
sides, in  the  race  referred  to,  Martinet  was  in  do  shape  at  that 
time,  has  not  performed  since,  the  pace  was  slow  to  the  home- 
stretch, and  Johnny  Weber  outrode  bis  younger  brother  at 
the  finish.  

The  American  Turf  Congress,  after  a  four-hours'  session 
in  Cincinnati  on  Friday,  ratified  the  agreement  of  co-opera- 
tion and  reciprocity  with  the  Jockey  Club.  The  territory 
east  of  the  eighty-first  meridian  and  the  State  of  Florida  is  to 
be  controlled  by  the  Jockey  Club,  while  the  territory  west  of 
that  meridian  is  under  the  control  of  the  American  Turf 
Congress.  L.  P.  Tarlton,  of  Latonia,  and  President  Van 
Kirkman,  of  Nashville,  delegates  to  the  Jockey  Club  meeting, 
reported  to  the  Turf  Congress  a  resolution  which  provided 
that  the  sanction  or  revocation  of  sanction  by  the  Turf  Con- 
gress of  a  race  meeting  shall  be  by  a  two-thirds  vote-  This 
official  sanction  holds  only  for  the  year  of  which  it  is  granted 
and  must  be  conducted  under  the  rules  of  the  Turf  Congress. 
Theserulesto  lake  effect  in  June,  1894.  Applications  for 
sanction  before  June  23d  must  be  made  to  the  president,  and 
after  that  date  to  the  secretary  of  the  Turf  Congress.  Those 
present  were  :  Colonel  Clay  for  Lexington,  S.  R.  Montgom- 
ery for  Memphis,  L.  P.  Tarlton  for  Latonia,  Colonel  Clark  for 
Louisville,  Frank  Shaw  for  St.  Paul,  W.  S.  Barnes  for  Little 
Rock,  V.  L.  Kirkman  for  Nashville.  Denver  and  San  Fran- 
cisco were  not  represented.  The  meeting  adjourned  subject 
to  call. 


The  excellent  string  of  Naglee  Burk,  in  charge  of  the 
popular  trainer,  Harry  Mason,  left  on  Monday  morning  for 
San  Jose,  where  Mr.  Burk  has  a  most  complete  raciog  es- 
tablishment. In  the  Btring  are  Bellicoso,  Brioso,  The  Ex- 
aminer, Agitato  and  Gloaming.  The  latter  is  goiDg  well, 
and  will  doubtless  add  further  laurels  to  her  already  heavy 
glory  crown.  Bellicoso  is  undoubtedly  the  best  two-year- 
old  shown  in  California  this  season,  and  The  Examiner  is  a 
brother  to  the  famous  Armitage.  Mr.  Mason  will  doubtless 
bring  the  lot  in  his  charge  to  the  post  in  great  shape 
when  he  starts  them  at  the  far  East  a  few  weeks  hence. 

Phesident  Thos.  H.  Williams  Jr.,  of  the  California 
Jockey  Club,  has  decided,  on  account  of  his  health,  to  take  a 
vacation  of  several  months,  and  will  start  for  Japan  May  28th. 
Tuesday  it  was  officially  announced  that  the  meeting  now 
in  progress  at  the  Bay  District  Track  would  end  May  26tb, 
and  about  November  1st  thegates  would  be  re-opened  for  the 
fall  and  winter  meeting.  Never  before  in  the  history  of  rac- 
ing in  the  West  has  there  been  such  a  long  and  successful 
meeting.  The  exodus  of  bookmakers  and  large  strings  of  the 
best  horses  with  their  jockeys  to  the  East  during  the  past  two 
weeks  has  had  the  effect  of  aiding  to  bring  the  meeting  to  a 
close.  Besides  these  causes  many  of  the  horses  that  are  here 
have  become  stale,  and  a  chance  for  them  to  rest  and  re- 
cuperate is  absolutely  necessary. 

Of  the  race  for  the  Cumberland  Prize  at  Nashville  recently 
Daily  America  and  Mercury  said  :  The  prize  was  the  third 
race  on  the  card,  and  was  won  by  Buckrene,  though  the 
result  was  a  very  unsatisfactory  one.  He  beat  Lazzarone  a 
head  in  a  drive  after  the  latter  had  been  knocked  out  of  the 
race  on  the  first  turn  and  had  closed  a  gap  of  twenty  lengths. 
Buckrene,  who  was  lying  next  Lazzarone,  was  so  rank  in  the 
first  part  of  the  race  that  Thorpe  could  hardly  pull  hira  on* 
the  horses  in  front  of  hirr.  In  swinging  him  round  the  first 
turn  he  crowded  Martin  so  much  on  the  rail  that  the  latter 
had  to  pull  up  Lazzarone.  When  they  straightened  up  the 
backstretch  he  was  the  last  horse,  and  could  not  get  an  open- 
ing until  they  swung  into  the  stretch.  He  closed  ground 
very  fast,  but  the  effort  was  too  much  for  him,  and  BuckreDe 
beat  him  by  a  head.  Lazzarone  ran  his  last  mile  as  fast  as 
1:41,  and  on  a  good  track  it  will  take  a  crack  to  beat  him 
over  a  distance  of  ground,  as  he  is  now  up  to  a  hard  race. 
He  showed  to-day  that  he  was  the  best  horse  by  twenty 
pounds  and  more.  Buckwa  was  also  knocked  about  in  the 
early  part  of  the  race  and  on  the  far  turn.  The  turns  are 
thrown  up  so  much  for  the  trotters  that  the  horses  bear  in 
and  crowd  each  other  in  making  them.  Martin  claimed  a 
foul  against  Buckrene,  but  the  judges  did  not  allow  it.  The 
first  mile  was  run  in  1:42.  Eugene  Leigh  felt  so  sore  over 
losing  the  race  and  the  $1,000  he  bet  on  his  colt,  when  he 
knew  he  had  the  best  horse,  that  he  failed  to  leave  the  stable 
in  time  to  bet  on  Eurania,  his  two-year-old,  in  the  next  race. 
The  Prize  was  worth  $3,800  to  the  winner. 


Bookmakers  Charles  KiDgsley  and  George  Rose  have 
been  suspended  by  the  Board  of  Stewards  pending  investiga- 
tion. On  Wednesday  King  Sam  was  a  favorite  in  a  maiden 
race  won  by  Nervoso.  Notwithstanding  a  very  heavy  play, 
the  odds  against  King  Sam  receded  from  9  to  5  to  3  to  I. 
The  horse  finished  a  good  third,  and  when  Shaw  did  make  a 
little  show  of  ridingjust  at  the  end  King  Sam  gained  very  fast. 
Fraud  was  palpable,  and  the  stewards,  after  an  investigation, 
ruled  Shaw  off  for  life  for  "pulling"  King  Sam.  Then  the 
members  of  the  Board  began  looking  about  for  Shaw's  object 
in  pulling  the  horse,  and  they  think  they  have  discovered  it. 
It  is  declared  that  the  two  bookmakers  under  suspicion  gave 
a  shade  better  odds  against  King  Sam  than  their  fellow-pencil- 
ers,  took  in  a  barrel  of  money,and  still  did  not  cut  the  horse's 
price;  in  short,  that  they  had  an  understanding  with  King 
Sam's  rider  that  the  favorite  would  not  win,  and  laid  their 
odds  accordingly.  Whether  this  is  true  or  not  remains  to  be 
seen.  These  men  for  years  have  been  the  most  prominent 
bookmakers  in  San  Francisco,  and  both  have  been  very  suc- 
cessful, everything  considered.  Kingsley  superintended  the 
work  of  improvement  at  the  local  course  last  summer,  and 
was  accredited  with  being  one  of  the  firmest  friends  of  the 
young  President  of  the  racing  associations  here.  This  season 
has  not,  it  is  said,  been  a  prosperous  one  with  Kingsley, 
and  many  of  his  former  friends,  it  is  rumored,  have  deserted 
him  in  his  hour  of  misfortune.  George  Rose  came  back  from 
the  East  last  fall,  after  making  book  at  the  priocipal  courses 
of  thefar  East,  about  $60,000  richer  than  when  he  left  San 
Francisco,  so  his  friends  say,  and  it  is  no  exaggeration  to  say 
that  a  more  popular  bookmaker  than  George  Rose  never 
shouted  odds  in  this  part  of  the  world.  Kingsley  also  has  a 
host  of  friends.  If  they  are  proved  guilty  it  will  be  about  as 
big  a  shock  of  the  sort  as  could  be  sprung,  but  it  will  have 
a  wholesome  effect  upon  the  daylight  robbers  and  jobbers  of 
the  turf. 

The  bloodiest  affray  in  the  annals  of  old  Bay  District 
track  is  to  be  chronicled.  Charles  Paul  and  Matt  Green 
were  employes  of  Frank  Van  Ness,  owner  of  Elkton  Stable. 
Paul  got  on  a  spree  and  Mr.  Van  Ness  told  him  to  go  and 
sleep  it  off.  He  did  lie  down  for  a  (ew  moments,  then  got  up 
and  said  he  was  going  to  "do  up  "  Bill  Howard,  the  well- 
known  sprinter.  Van  Ness  again  told  him  to  go  away — that 
he  was  in  no  condition  to  work.  With  an  oath  he  declared  that 
he  would  "do"  Van  Ness  then.  He  made  an  assault  on  him, 
and  the  owner  of  the  Elkton  stable  choked  Paul  into  sub- 
mission. Shortly  afterward  the  latter  attacked  Matt  Green, 
a  fellow-employe,  and  Green  worsted  him  in  the  encounter. 
Paul  left,  and  Green  went  on  about  bis  work  in  the  stable. 
Paul  watched.his  opportunity  for  revenge.  Sneaking  up  on 
Green,  he  pulled  the  latter's  face  toward  him,  and  bit  the 
poor  fellow's  nose  off  close  to  his  face.  Green  then  grabbed  a 
bottle,  strucK  Paul  over  the  head  with  it,  and  when  the  lat- 
ter grappled  with  him  one  of  the  brute's  fingers  was  nearly 
severed.  Green,  the  blood  pouring  from  his  nose,  soon  threw 
Paul,  and  was  about  to  kick  him  iu  the  face  when  some  one 
grabbed  his  uplifted  leg  and  restrained  him.  Paul,  like  a 
beast,  jumped  to  his  feet  and  turned  his  attention  to  Frank 
Van  Ness,  whom  he  bit  viciously  in  the  thigh.  The  rubber 
was  finally  overpowered  and  the  patrol  wagon  summoned.  It 
was  an  hour  and  a  half  in  arriving,  and  in  the  meantime 
poor  Green's  nose  was  lying  on  the  ground.  It  was  picked  up 
and  sewed  on  at  the  Receiving  Hospital,  hut  the  doctors  say 
it  is  not  likely  to  knit.  On  the  way  to  the  Receiving  Hospital, 
to  show  Paul's  vicious  spirit,  he  pulled  off  one  of  his  heavy, 
hob  nailed  boots  and  tried  to  strike  Green  with  it.  The 
doctors  fear  blood  poisoning  will  set  in  and  end  Green's  life, 
and  the  beastly  Paul  is  not  out  of  danger  by  any  means.  It 
transpires  that  Paul  killed  a  man  in  Oregon  and  that  hin 
character  is  of  the  very  worst.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  A'auiedi  County  Sportsman's   Association  will  shoot 
to-morrow  at  Joe  Dieyes.  San  Leandro  road. 


The  Electric  (iun  Club  promises  to  rival  them  all  in  point 
of  numbers.  The  club  has  already  nearly  thirty  members  on 
its  roll. 

The  agencies  of  the  popular  firms,  The  Union  Metallic 
Cartridge  Co.  and  the  Colts  Arms  Co.,  haye  removed  to  more 
commodious  quarters  at  517  and  519  Market  St. 

The  Olympic  Club  contemplate  forming  a  gun  club  in  the 
immediate 'future.  With  its  great  number  of  members  to 
draw  from  this  should  become  a  powerful  club. 

(jreo.  \V.  Strell,  the  popular  managing  editor  of  the  Amer- 
ican Field,  left  this  city  for  Portland  and  the  North  on  Tues- 
day last.  He  will  enjoy  a  few  days  with  our  Northern  sports- 
men and  then  return  to  his  editorial  duties  in  Chicago. 

Don't  forget  the  prize  tournament  at  Oakland  Race  Track 
to-morrow.  Ten  entries,  four  prizes;  fifteen  entries,  six 
prizes;  twenty  entries,  seven  prizes;  twenty-four  entries,  eight 
prizes;  thirty  entries,  ten  prizes.  Class  shooting,  known  an- 
gles.   

The  tean  match  between  the  Country  Club  and  the  Ala- 
meda County  Sportsmen's  Clab  will  take  place  on  Saturday 
May  19th,  at  Oakland  Race  Track.  The  first  match  of  this 
series  was  won  vby  the  Country  Club  in  1892.  Last  year  the 
Alameda's  won  with  a  record  of  103  to  98.  This  match  de- 
cides the  disposition  of  the  trophy. 

The  attempt  of  Wra,  Murdoch  to  organize  a  rival  State 
Association  for  the  protection  of  game  and  fish  at  the  recent 
Anglers'  Convention  fell  very  flat.  But  three  of  the  forty-odd 
gentlemen  present  favored  the  idea.  This  is  as  it  should  be. 
Any  gentleman  that  is  iuterested  in  the  protection  of  game  is 
cordially  invited  to  join  the  State  Sportsmen's  Association.  A 
rival  organization  would  only  create  dissention  and  do  no 
good  to  the  cause. 

Annie  Oakley  broke  the  record  for  quick  shooting  at  the 
Yanticaw  grounds  at  Nutley,  on  April  27th,  breaking  100 
inanimate  targets  in  6  minutes  and  32  seconds,  using  three 
traps  and  three  guns,  loadiog  the  guns  herself.  She  made 
four  trials.  On  the  third  trial  she  had  broken  eighty-nine 
targetsin  less  thansix  minutes,  when  the  ammunition  gave 
out.  This  performance  beats  the  previous  record  of  Rolla 
Heikes  1  minute  and  8  seconds.  Heibes  previously  held  the 
record  of  10(1  in  7  minutes  and  40  seconds.

To  each  of  the  committee  Mr.  Robinson  has  addressed  the 
following  letter : 

Secretary's  Office  State  Sportsmen's  Association  \ 
San  Francisco,  Cal.,  April  18,  1894.      | 

Dear  Sit:  In  pursuance  of  the  resolution  adopted  by  the 
convention,  authorizing  the  chairman  to  appoint  an  execu- 
tive committee,  to  be  composed  of  one  member  from  each 
county  in  the  State,  to  carry  to  a  successful  conclusion  its 
work,  I  take  pleasure  in  informing  you  that  you  have  been 
appointed  a  member  of  such  executive  committee. 

Your  duty  will  be,  mainly,  to  keep  before  the  citizens  of 
your  county,  as  much  as  possible,  the  importance  of  the  work 
of  the  convention,  and  the  necessity  for  legislative  endorsement; 
personally  interview  the  candidates  for  the  legislature  and 
lay  before  them  the  measures  approved  by  the  convention; 
impress  upon  your  people  the  fact  that  all  are  equally  inter- 
ested ;  that  it  is  for  the  benefit  of  all,  not  only  for  the  present, 
but  as  a  heritage  for  those  who  come  after  us. 

Opposition,  whenever  encountered,  can  be  fully  answered 
by  reference  to  the  representative  character  of  the  conven- 
tion, representing  in  effect  every  county,  and  appointed  by 
the  highest  appointing  powers  of  the  State.  While  it  may 
be  claimed  that  some  of  the  measures  may  not  exactly  suit  a 
stated  locality,  they  were  adopted  because  it  was  conceded 
they  were  best  for  the  State  at  large,  and  local  interests  yielded 
to  the  general  welfare. 

No  selfish  ends  are  to  be  subserved ;  no  advancement  to 
any  class  is  contemplated.  The  laws  recommended  are  for 
the  common  good- 
Do  all  in  your  power  to  further  the  work  in  hand,  bearing 
in  mind  that  with  your  appointment  goes  a  trust  and  responsi- 
bility that  we  feel  and  earnestly  hope  will  be  more  than  satis- 
factorily accounted  for  in  the  final  success  of  our  endeavors. 

As  per  further  resolution  of  the  convention,  that  the  dele- 
gates join  the  State  Sportsmen's  Association,  find  receipted 
voucher  for  dues  for  1894.  Please  remit  at  your  convenience. 
Find  also  enclosed  printed  copies  of  the  measures  approved 
by  the  convention.     Very  respectfully  yours, 

Crittenden  Robinson,  Chairman.

National  Game  Protective  Association. 


Westfield,  Wis.,  April  SO,  1994. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — On  Wednesday 
evening,  April  25th,  the  first  quarterly  meeting  of  the  Ex- 
ecutive Committee  of  the  National  Game,  Bird  and  Fish 
Protective  Association  was  held  in  conjunction  with  the 
Badge  Committee  in  the  Teutonic  Building,  Chicago.  Messrs. 
Maurice  R.  Bortree,  F.  S.  Baird,  Thos.  P.  Hicks  and  Fred  E. 
Pond  were  the  members  present* 

The  action  of  the  Badge  Committee  was  approved  in  se- 
lecting a  design  for  an  emblem  to  be  worn  by  members  of  th  e 
association.  The  emblem  selected  will  be  in  the  form  of  a 
star,  with  pair  of  quail  and  brood  as  a  central  design  and  a 
trout  beneath,  with  the  initials  ol  the  association  on  the 
points  of  the  star.  The  badge  will  be  of  gold  and  the  design 
copyrighted,  while  each  individual  badge  will  be  numbered 
as  a  means  of  identification. 

The  Secretary  was  authorized  to  prepare  a  membership  card 
containing  an  illustration  of  the  badge  and  countersigned  by 
the  President's  signature  affixed  as  fast  as  required  by  mem- 
bers of  the  association.  The  Secretary  was  further  instructed 
to  inform  the  members  of  the  association  of  the  action  taken, 
and  also  to  furnish  a  report  of  the  committee  meeting  to  the 
sportsman's  journals. 

Upon  motion  of  Mr.  F.  S.  Baird,  it  was  decided  that  the 
association  through  its  officers  and  members  should  send  a 
memorial  to  the  Governors  of  the  various  Ststes,  with  a  re- 
quest that  they  issue  an  appeal  to  the  people  of  their  respect- 
ive States  for  the  stringent  enforcement  of  the  game  and  fish 
laws  throughout  the  country. 

The  committee  instructed  the  Secretary  to  prepare  and  pub- 
lish a  hand-book  containing  a  synopsis  of  the  fish  and  game 
laws  of  the  United  States,  a  list  of  game  and  fish  wardens,  a 
chapter  of  practical  game  pretection,  constitution  and  by-laws 
of  the  National  Association  and  a  list  of  the  officers  and 
members. 

Upon  motion  the  meeting  thereupon  adjourned,  there  being 
no  further  business  brought  up  for  consideration. 

Fred  E.  Pond,  Secretary.

The  New  Smokeless. 


Penetration 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — On  Wednesday 
last  Mr.  Geo.  P.  Thurston,  of  the  United  States  Smokeless 
Powder  Co.,  invited  the  writer  to  test  the  new  United  States 
Smokeless  powder  in  every  possible  manner.  Having  consid- 
erable interest  in  our  home  product  I  accepted  the  invitation, 
and  in  company  with  Mr.  E.  A.  Starke,  the  inventor  of  the 
powder,  I  spent  the  entire  day  at  their  laboratory  near  the 
six-mile  house,  San  Bruno  road,  just  on  the  edge  of  San 
Francisco  county. 

Before  going  into  the  details  of  the  day's  work,  I  wish  to 
thank  the  gentleman  named  for  their  extreme  courtesy 
Their  entire  force  was  placed  at  my  disposal,  and  every  facil- 
ity given  me  to  test  the  powder.  I  do  not  lay  claim  to  being 
an  expert  in  these  matters,  and  the  results  given  below  are 
simply  the  observation  of  a  practical  sportsman.  As  the 
firm  are  giving  away  large  quantities  of  this  powder  in  bulk, 
I  experimented  with  different  loads  that  the  readers  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  might  be  guided  in  loading  the 
same  for  best  possible  resuItB. 

Speaking  of  the  powder  generally,  I  will  say  from  my  own 
observation,  that  after  firing  nearly  200  shells  I  pronounce  it 
one  of  the  best  smokeless  powders  that  I  have  ever  used,  and 
as  it  can  be  placed  on  the  market  at  a  trifle  advance  on  the 
price  of  black  powder,  I  believe  it  to  be  the  coming  powder 
of  America.  In  many  respects  it  excels  the  other  powders 
that  I  experimented  with  on  the  above  date. 

In  drawing  conclusions  from  the  figures  given  below,  my 
readers  should  remember  that  the  powder  is  made  at  present 
in  a  small  laboratory  by  hand,  ground  in  a  small  mill  and 
mixed  by  hand  in  a  mortar.  Under  such  circumstances  we 
have  every  reason  to  believe  that  with  the  proper  machinery 
(more  thoroughly  incorporating  the  powder)  it  will  be  greatly 
improved. 

Smoke. — The  powder  is  practically  smokeless,  not  as  abso- 
lutely so  as  Walsrode,  but  quite  as  much  so  as  Schultze  or 
Wood.  On  opening  the  breech  of  the  gun  there  is  a  little 
gas  perceptible,  of  a  darkish  color,  but  it  is  not  the  least 
offensive,  and  after  shooting  it  all  day  I  could  not  discover 
the  slightest  effect  from  the  same. 

Fouliv-j — On  firing  the  first  load,  the  gun  barrel  shows  a 
complete  but  light  coating  of  dark  impalpable  powder.  On 
firing  75  shells  through  the  same  barrel  without  cleaning  I 
could  not  see  that  the  coating  had  increased  a  particle  in 
density  and  I  could  not  perceive  any  difference  in  the  shoot- 
ing of  the  gun.  The  inventor  claims  that  this  coat  entirely 
prevents  leading. 

Heating  of  barrel — Filty  shots  fired  quite  rapidly  heated  the 
barrels  but  very  slightly. 

Recoil — The  actual  recoil  I  did  not  have  any  means  of  esti- 
mating. In  firing  nearly  200  shells  I  received  no  "  shaking 
up"  or  inconvenience  whatever,  except  in  the  load  that  I 
have  termed  No.  3  in  the  record  of  pattern  and  penetration 
given  below,  and  that  was  not  as  severe  as  the  Schultze  load. 
Susceptibility  to  moisture — I  could  not  test  this  properly  at 
the  laboratory,  from  lack  of  time.  The  inventor  informs  me, 
however,that  after  absorbing  five  per  cent  of  water  there  is  no 
perceptible  difference  in  its  pattern,  penetration  or  bursting 
strain.  If  left  exposed  to  a  fog  over  night  fin  bulk)  it  will 
not  absorb  over  one  per-cent  of  moisture. 

Susceptibility  of  heat — No  ordinary  temperature,  that  can  be 
obtained  in  the  laboratory,  effects  it  in  the  slightest  manner. 
There  is  no  gun-cotton  or  nitro-glycerine  in  this  powder. 
The  only  claim  that  it  has  to  being  a  nitro  powder  is  the  fact 
that  nitric  acid  is  used  in  making  one  of  the  acids  used  in 
manufacturing  one  of  the  three  principal  ingredients  of  which 
the  powder  is  made. 

Pattern  and  Penetration — In  the  tests  for  penetration  and 
pattern  I  used  a  seven-pound,  fourteen-oz.  L.  C.  Smith  ham- 
merless,  both  barrels  full  choke.  Thirty-five  yards  range  for 
pattern,  twenty-one  yards  for  penetration.  The  test  for  pene- 
tration was  made  with  cardboard  of  uniform  thickness,  placed 
one-half  inch  apart.  Single  shot  holes  were  not  counted.  No 
cards  counted  that  contained  less  than  three  shot  holes.  In 
nearly  all  cases  the  entire  charge  penetrated  to  the  fifteenth 
board.  I  ask  my  readers  to  lake  these  tests  of  the  other  pow- 
ders in  the  sense  in  which  I  used  them — for  comparison  »nly. 
I  have  no  desire  to  injure  any  other  powder.  I  used  the 
charges  of  powder  recommended  by  the  makers  of  the  differ- 
ent powders  in  all  case*.  The  charges  were  accurately 
weighed ;"  not  measured.

Wondering  at  the  difference  in  penetration,  I  tried  two 
more  shells.     Each  registered  14  cards.     Pattern  excellent. 

Load  No.  3  gave  me  the  desired  penetration  but  the  pattern 
was  too  open  and  the  recoil,  while  not  excessive  was  too  great, 
so  I  tried  a  lighter  charge  with  different  wadding  as  follows: 

Load  No.  7—42  grains  U.  S.  S.,  1  Black  Edge,  1  three-

The  pattern  ot  the  above  was  not  very  evenlv  distributed, 
though  much  better  than  the  average  pattern.  On  the  sug- 
gestion of  Mr.  Robertson  I  then  tried  the  following,  and  for 
live  bird  shooting  I  do  not  think  that  it  can  be  excelled.

In  my  experiments  I  clearly  demonstrated  the  fact  tha** 
this  powder,  like  all  others,  is  influenced  greatly  by  the  wad- 
ding, both  in  'pattern  and  penetration.  Doubtless  an  expert 
better  acquainted  than  the  writer  with  Schultze,  Wood  and 
E.  C.  could  have  increased  the  penetration  of  those  powders 
by  manipulating  the  loading.  I  am  satisfied  that  this  new 
powder  will  do  excellent  work  with  the  common  primer,  but 
I  believe  that  the  No.  3  primer  will  give  the  best  results.  In 
all  of  the  shells  used  there  was  not  a  single  case  ef  shot  ball- 
ing. The  powder  puts  a  coating  over  the  shot  that  I  think 
will  prevent  this  feature.  AyALON.

ROD- 

The    Ply    Casting  Tournament. 

While  the  entry  to  the  Fly  Casting  Tournament  of  May 
4th  and  5th  was  very^light,  the  tournament  must  go  on  record 
as  a  success.  The  tournament  was  held  on  Stow  Lake, 
Golden  Gate  Park,  San  Francisco.  A  very  pretty  spot,  and 
at  times  it  would  be  an  ideal  spot  for  fly  casting,  but  on  the 
day  the  tournament  was  held  a  strong  cross  wind  virtually 
spoiled  the  accuracy  and  delicacy  of  events.  The  officers  of 
the  tournament  were  :  President,  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards  ;  Clerk 
W.  D.  Mansfield  ;  Time-keeper,  A.G.  Wieland;  Judges,  H. 
F.  Emeric  and  Wm.  C.  Murdoch  ;  Referee,  Judge  John 
Hunt. 

CASTING   FOR   DISTANCE. 

The  casting  commenced  shortly  after  10  A.  ii.  The  first 
event  of  the  programme  was  Fly  Ca3ting  for  Distance,  rods 
not  to  exceed  11  feet  in  length,  weight  not  limited,  one,  two 
or  three  flies,  the  hook  not  larger  than  No.  5.  Leader  of  sin- 
gle gut,  not  more  than  nine  feet  in  length  and  not  less  than 
six.     Ten  casts,  the  best  only  to  count. 

Mr.  Harry  Babcock  was  the  first  contestant.  Many 
thought  him  a  sure  winner,  as  he  has  made  some  splendid 
records  in  practice.  His  grace  and  ease  of  movement 
brought  words  of  admiration  from  all.  His  back  cast  is  per- 
fection, but  for  some  unknown  reason  he  could  not  exceed  74 
feet.  He  used  a  lOi  oz.  11  feet  Leonard  Tournament  rod  and 
a  D.  line. 

The  next  contestant  was  R.R.Flint  of  Sacramento.  He 
is  a  very  strong  caster.  His  style,  while  not  as  graceful  as 
Babcock's,  is  very  easy  and  of  sufficient  power  to  enable  him 
to  cast  81  feet  and  win  the  event  and  the  Pacific  Coast  Rec- 
ord. This  is  also  the  Amateur  Record  of  America,  if  we  are 
rightly  informed.  The  amateur  event  at  Chicago  was  won 
with  a  76J  feet  cast.  Mr.  Flint  used  a  10  oz.  11  ft.  Leonard 
rod,  a  D.  line  and  one  of  Benns'  Tournament  flies. 

The  next  man  at  the  score  was  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards.  His 
back  cast  was  not  good,  the  fly  frequently  striking  the  water. 
The  65  ft.  mark  was -his  limit. 

W.  S.  Battu  followed  Col.  Edwards.  His  tackle  was  too 
light  for  long  distance  work  and  the  best  he  could  do  was  54 
feet. 

Great  things  were  expected  from  H.  E.  Skinner,  E.  T. 
Allen  Co.'s  popular  clerk",  and  but  for  poor  judgment  he 
would  have  very  nearly  equaled  the  cast  of  Mr.  Flint's.  He 
reached  the  75-foot  mark,  and  had  he  allowed  his  fly  to  drop 
where  it  was  intended  to  he  would  have  scored  at  least  five 
feet  more,  but  just  as  the  leader  straightened  out  he  drew 
back  his  rod  and  shortened  his  record  just  that  much.  Skin- 
ner's style  is  good,  his  back  cast  good  but  not  quite  equal  to 
Babcock's.  His  movement  of  the  rod  arm  is  an  elbow  move- 
ment ;  we  thought  he  could  have  got  another  foot  or  two  by 
straightening  his  arm  and  leaning  forward  a  trifle.  He  used 
a  10A  oz.  11  ft.  Leonard  Tournament  rod,  D  line  and  a  Benn 
Tournament  fly. 

The  vetercn  angler,  Capt.  Geo.  Cumming,  was  the  next  and 
last  to  contest  in  this  event,  and  the  Isaac  Walton  of  Cali- 
fornia showed  the  boys  that  though  seventy-two  years  old  he 
could  ptill  handle  a  rod  with  any  of  them.  He  worked  out 
bis  line  with  the  left  hand  and  then  changing  to  the  right 
made  a  cast  of  74  feet,  tying  Mr.  Babcock  for  third  place. 
In  casting  off  the  tie  the  old  gentleman  showed  plainly  that 
he  was  getting  tired,  and  Babcock  won  the  tie  with  a  record 
of  79  feet. 

DISTANCE   AND  ACCURACY. 

In  this  event  the  contestants  cast  at  two  buoys  placed  at  50 
and  60  feet  from  the  platform.  If  the  leader  struck  the  water 
within  one  foot  of  the  buoy  it  was  considered  a  perfect  cast, 
and  the  credit  ten.  For  each  foot  from  the  bnoy  in  excess  of 
one  foot  one  point  was  deducted  from  the  score.  Ten  casts 
wtre  made  at  each  buoy.  In  this  event  the  rod  must  not  ex- 
ceed 11  feet  in  length  nor  8  ounces  in  weight,  leader  of  single 
gut  not  more  than  9  feet  in  length  and  not  less  than  6;  hooks 
not  larger  than  No.  5.  The  wind  interfered  with  the  accuracy 
at  times  blowing  the  leader  at  right  angles  from  the  general 
direction  of  the  line.  H.  E.  Skinner  won  the  gold  medal, 
with  an  average  of  73A  ;  R.  R.  Flint  second  prize  with  71 ; 
H.  Babcock  third,  with  69*  ;  Col.  Edwards,  62;  Capt.  Cam- 
ming 45. 


DISTANCE,  ACCURACY   AND   DELICACY. 

The  light  rod  casting  for  distance,  accuracy  and  delicacy 
combined  was  more  of  a  failure  than  the  former  event.  The 
high  wind  compelled  the  contestants  to  use  heavy  tackle,  and 
delicacy  was  out  of  the  question.  The  buoys  in  this  event 
were  placed  thirty-five  and  forty-five  feet  from  the  casting 
platform.  As  the  judges  were  as  new  at  this  business  as  the 
contestants,  no  accurate  record  can  be  given  of  this  event. 
Comparatively  speaking,  the  percentage  given  is  doubtless 
correct.  The  rods  used  in  this  event  were  not  over  10  feet 
in  length  nor  over  5  ounces  in  weight ;  leader  not  over  9  nor 
less  than  6  feet  in  length,  of  single  gut ;  hooks  not  larger  than 
No.  5.  Al  Cummings  won  the  gold  medal  with  a  percentage 
of  68.40;  Col.  Edwards  second  with  62.50  ;  H.  E.  Skinner 
third  with  49.50 ;  H.  Bates  fourth  with  46.75. 

FLY   CASTING   WITH   SALMON  TACKLE   FOR   DISTANCE. 

In  this  event  the  length  of  rod  was  limited  to  18  feel, 
weight  unlimited ;  line  not  prescribed  ;  hooks  not  larger 
than  No.  40.  John  S.  Benn,  the  veteran  fly-tyer,  won  the 
event  with  ease  with  an  lS-foot  Leonard  rod.  His  line 
kinked  badly  or  he  would  doubtless  have  excelled  his  rec- 
ord of  105  feet,  winning  first  prize  and  the  Pacific  Coast  rec- 
ord. A.  M.  Cummings  used  the  same  rod  and  rolled  ofi  91 
feet,  Col.  Edwards  75. 

LURE  CASTING  FOR  DISTANCE. 

This  was  entirely  new  to  the  anglers  of  this  vicinity  and  if 
Mr.  A.  D.  Ayres  had  not  entered  the  event  it  would  have  been 
a  mystery  still.  Tup  casting  was  done  on  land  on  a  court  200 
feet  long  by  30  feet  wide  through  the  main  axis  of  which  ran 
a  tape  measure  marked  offin  feet.  The  casting  was  to  have 
been  either  one  or  two  handed,  but  no  two  handed  rods  were 
available.  The  lure  was  represented  by  a  half-ounce  lead 
sinker.  Five  casts  were  made  for  record.  To  determine  the 
record  of  the  casts  the  actual  distance  was  taken  and  then  the 
distance  that  the  lead  fell  from  the  tape,  less  one  was  sub- 
tracted from  it.  The  sum  of  credits  divided  by  five  gave  the 
record.  Mr.  A.  D.  Ayres  made  a  record  of  1 20  feet  8  inches  as 
his  best  cast,  his  average  being  67  feet  1  inch,  two  of  his  best 
casts  falling  out  of  bounds. 

To  make  it  more  interetiog  Geo.  W.  Strell,  president  of  the 
Chicago  Fly  Casting  Club,  and  managing  editor  of  the  Amer- 
can  Field  entered  this  event,  but  the  rod  was  not  to  his  liking 
and  he  could  not  manipulate  it  properly.  He  made  one  cast 
of  122  feet  4  inches,  but  as  it  was  out  of  bounds  it  did  not 
count.  His  best  cast  was  87  feet  8  inches.  His  average  52 
feet  2  inches. 

THE  CONVENTION. 

Forty  enthusiastic  anglers  met  at  Parlor  A.,  Palace  Hotel, 
on  Friday  evening,  May  4.  Among  those  present  we  noticed 
Col.  G.  C.  Edwards,  Geo.  W.  Strell,  C-  W.  Kyle,  Frank 
Vernon,  H.  H.  Briggs,  W.  J.  Golcher,  H.  Golcher,  A.  D. 
Ayres,  E.  H.  Wakeman,  Wm.  Murdoch,  Col.  R.  A.  Eddy, 
Jos.  Shain,  H.  E.  Skinner,  E.  T.  Allen,  Sam  Golcher,  H.  T. 
Payne,  A.  C  Waddell,  H.  Battu,  W.  D.  Mansfield,  A.  Russell 
Crowell,  C.  G.  Young,  John  Butler,  J.  F.  Siebe,  A.  B. 
Finch,  Louis  Butler,  A.  T.  Vogelsang,  A.  C.  Wayne,  A.  G. 
Wieland,  H.  Mangels,  Crittenden  Robinson,  Dr.  C.  W.  Hib- 
bard,  M.  Geary,  Murton  C.  Allen,  W-  S.  Tevis,  A.  M.  Cum- 
miDgs,  Capt.  Geo.  Cumming.  Col.  Edwards  officiated  as 
temporary  chairman. 

A  long  argument  was  made  on  the  advisability  of  forming 
a  State  organization  for  the  protection  of  game  and  fish.  Mr. 
Murdoch  spoke  strongly  for  such  an  organization  but  met 
with  but  little  support.  The  secretary  pro  tern  ,  Sam'l  Golcher, 
read  a  letter  from  Secretary  Knowles  of  the  State  Sports- 
man's Association  inviting  the  anglers  present  to  join  that 
organization  and  assist  them  in  their  good  work. 

C.  W.  Kyle  proposed  a  State  Fly  Casting  Club,  and  A.  T. 
Vogelsang  also  spoke  strongly  in  favor  of  the  same. 

Col.  Edwards  favored  a  State  organization  for  the  protection 
of  fish. 

Crittenden  Robinson  thought  it  unwise  to  form  a  rival  as- 
sociation. 

E.  H.  Wakeman  spoke  in  favor  of  a  local  club. 

M.  C.  Allen  then  moved  that  the  convention  organize  a  fly 
casting  club,  and  it  was  carried. 

On  motion  of  M.  C.  Allen,  the  chairman,  appointed  a  com- 
mittee of  five  on  permanent  organization.  The  committee  re- 
port after  a  brief  recess  and  The  San  Francisco  Fly  Casting 
Club  was  organized.  The  officers  elected  are  as  follows : 
President,  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards;  Vice-President,  E.  T.  Allen  ; 
Secretary -Treasurer,  E.  Golcher;  Executive  Committe,  A. 
G.  Wieland,  W.  J.  Golcher  and  J.  F.  Siebe. 

It  is  theintention  of  theclub  to  meet  monthlyand  practice 
fly  casting.     Membership  open  to  residents  of  California. 

THE  FISH   DINNER. 

The  fish  dinner  given  at  Frank's  on  Saturday  evening  was 
an  unqualified  success.  An  even  forty  anglers  were  present. 
The  menu  was  unsurpassed  and  was  done  full  justice  by  those 
participating.  Fish  stories  and  fishy  stories  were  the  order  of 
the  evening,  Judge  John  Hunt,  as  master  of  ceremonies,  can- 
not be  excelled.  In  presenting  the  prizes  to  the  winners,  his 
keen  wit  and  humor  can  ouly  be  appreciated  by  those  who 
heard  him.  Those  who  enjoyed  the  dinner  were  Judge  John 
Hunt,  Col.  G.  C.  Edwards,  A.  T.  Vogelsang,  E.  W. 
Wakeman,  E.  Corrigan,  H.  E.  Skinner,  H.  Mansfield, 
A.  Russell  Crowell,  W.  H.  Ward,  W.  J.  Golcher, 
Dr.  C.  W.  Hibbard,  H.  T.  Payne,  H.  Battu,  J.  F.  Siebe,  A. 
G.  Wieland,  H.  Mangels,  A.  M.  Cummings,  A.  Roos,  Capt. 
Geo.  Cummings,  W.  D.  Mansfeld,  J.  Evans,  M.  C.  Allen, 
Thos.  Garrett,  Dennison,  Stanley  Allen,  Finch,  L.  Eaton 
Yarrington,  Fred  Gansal,  J.  Markland.  Ogburn,  J.  Butler, 
A.  Wilson,  Babcock,  McFarland,  C.  G.  Young,  A.  D.  Ayres, 
J.  Shain,  E  T.  Allen  and  Geo.W.  Stell.  The  only  ones  who 
did  not  enjoy  the  dinner  are  those  who  were  not  present. 


Dr.  C.  W.  Hibbard,  the  well-known  local  sportsman,  is  ed- 
iting a  Rod  and  Gun  department  in  The  Olympic,  a  local 
paper  devoted  to  athletic  and  sporting  interests.  Needless  to 
add  the  Rod  department  is  full  of  interesting  items. 


Al  Cummings  and  a  friend  returned  on  Tuesday  from  a 
three  days'  trip  ro  Lake  Lagaoitas.  They  enjoyed  excellent 
sport  and  filled  their  creels  with  good-sized  trout. 

Robert  Liddle  ("Uncle  Bob")  and  Joe  Dieves  left  this  city 
on  Tuesday  last  for  a  week's  fishing  at  Camp  Taylor,  Point 

Reyes  and  vicinity.

Ed  Evartls  and  Eugene  O'Rourke  caught  a  fine  mess  of  rock 
cod  and  two  fine  sea  trout  at  California  City  on  Sunday  last.

and  his  new  partner  see  only  the  sunny  side  of  life,  is  the 
the  earnest  wish  of  the  writer. 


it  is  understood  (hat  England's  best  St.  Bernard  judges  will 
get  their  he  ids  together  shortly  and  formulate  a  standard  for 
that  breed.  After  said  standard  has  been  ratified  by  the  St. 
Bernard  Club  it  will  be  used  by  the  club's  judges  in  making 
their  awards. 

The  many  friends  of  W.  S.  Kittle  will  learn  wilh  regret 
that  he  has  lost  his  well-known  English  Setter  dog  LukeK. 
He  is  black,  white  and  tan  in  color,  mostly  white,  but  it  is 
hardly  necessary  to  describe  him,  as  every  sportsman  in  Cen- 
tral California  knows  the  dog  by  sight. 

The  British  Fancier,  a  kennel  paper  published  in  Man- 
chester, England,  performed  a  feat  last  month  never  before 
accomplished  in  kennel  journalism.  The  management  of 
this  paper  issued  a  special  edition  on  April  11th  that  con- 
tained a  full  and  detailed  account  (comments  aad  awards)  of 
iheCryfital  Palace  show.  This  issue  was  in  the  hands  of  ex- 
hibitors twenty-four  hours  after  the  awards  were  made,  al- 
though the  publication  office  is  300  miles  from  where  the  show 
was  held.  

The  Oakland  Bench  Show  promises  to  be  a  very  successful 
event  in  every  particular.  The  hall  is  roomy,  well  ventilated, 
centrally  located  and  will  be  well  lighted.  The  Alameda 
County  Sportsman's  Association  have  shown  commendable 
enlerprize  in  this  matter,  and  should  be  supported  by  evfry 
lover  of  the  dog.  We  trust  that  the  San  Francisco  dog  men 
will  enter  their  dogs  en  maisse,  and  do  their  utmost  to  aid  the 
association.  In  1895  when  the  Pacific  Club  holds  its  next 
show,  the  Oakland  contingent  will  reciprocate,  with  their  aid 
the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  show  of  1895  can  easily  reach  the 
coveted  500-dog  mark.  The  cash  prizes  offered  are  not  large. 
This  show  is  in  a  great  measure  an  experiment,  and  not  hav- 
ing so  large  a  city  to  draw  attendance  from,  it  would  have 
been  suicide  to  have  offered  a  large  sum  in  cash. 

British  Fancier  prints  the  following  amusing  story  about 
the  tests  for  gam  en  ess  that  was  given  a  foxterrier,  the  pro- 
perty of  a  blacksmith  of  Carlton  :  Dnring  a  run  of  the  South 
Durham  hounds  iu  the  vicinity  of  Redmarshall  a  fox  went  to 
ground  in  a  drain.  This  wis  an  opportunity  not  to  be  missed 
to  test  the  merits  of  the  aforementioned  terrier.  So  after  a 
while  the  owner  and  his  tyke,  accompanied  by  some  friends, 
proceeded  to  the  drain  A  bag  having  been  procured,  was 
held  open  at  one  end,  while  the  terrier  was  put  in  at  the 
other  end  to  bolt  the  fox  into  the  bag.  After  a  few  moments 
of  suppressed  excitement  a  rumble  was  heard  under  ground", 
and  bang  went  the  animal  into  the  bag  and  was  lightly  se- 
cured. Two  boys  were  lef.  to  look  out  and  bring  back  the 
terrier,  whose  merits  were  now  safely  tested  and  beyond  all 
dispute.  The  owner  and  friends  made  their  way  home 
quickly  with  this  prize,  when  a  barrel  was  procured  in  which 
to  place  this  fox.  The  bng  was  carefully  opened,  but  instead 
of  Heyoard  out  popped  Rattle,  '.he  terrier,  delighted  to  be  free 
from  his  temporary  imprisonment.  The  blank  amazement 
of  the  owner  and  friends  can  behptler  imagined  than  described.

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Registration  in  the  Fctube. — That  the  present  system 
of  trotting  registration  is  cumbersome,  or  it  may,  perhaps,  be 
better  expressed  more  elaborate  than  necessary,  is  becoming 
evident  to  those  who  have  to  make  much  use  of  the  volumes 
containing  the  pedigrees  of  trotting  horses.  More  laborious 
to  compiler,  more  intricate  to  students,  entailing  a  vast 
amount  of  labor  which  can  readly  be  lessened  by  a  change  to 
simpler  systems.  With  some  modifications  the  plan  of  the 
English  and  American  Stud  Books  could  be  followed  with 
advantage.  While  it  is  true  that  the  conditions  are  not  alike 
there  is  not  so  great  a  dissimilarity  as  to  present  any  formid- 
able obstacle,  or  preclude  the  adoption  of  the  general  plan. 
Had  that  method  been  followed  at  the  outset  so  far  as  to  give 
the  dams  of  such  trotters  as  could  be  classified  in  the  same 
manner  as  has  been  done  in  thoroughbred  Stud  Books  the 
task  would  be  lighter.  When  the  first  volume  of  the  English 
Stud  Book  was  published  there  was  a  "second  part"  contain- 
ing pedigrees  of  horses  and  mares  of  note,  not  included  in 
the  former  part,  from  the  earliest  records  to  the  year  1759 
inclusive.  In  that  were  nearly  one  hundred  names,  and  a 
third  part  embodying  those  from  1759  to  1S03  in  which  were 
eighty-four  names.  There  was  in  the  neighborhood  of  seven 
thousand  named  horses  in  the  first  and  succeeding  parts,  and 
a  large  number  of  unnamed.  A  list  of  Arabians,  Barbs  and 
Turks,  twenty-three  in  all,  makes  up  the  fourth  part.  There 
are  414  pages,  small  octavo,  of  pedigrees  in  the  first,  48  pages, 
three  columns  to  the  page,  of  index.  Taking  the  average 
number  on  five  pages,  opened  at  random,  there  are  twenty- 
five  names  to  a  page,  beside  the  dams,  so  that  it  will  not  be 


The  premium  list  for  the  Alameda  County  Sportsman's 
Association's  Bench  show  is  out  and  can  be  obtained  at  918  I  far  out  of  the  way  To  assume  that  twelve  thousand  pedigrees 
Broadway,  Oakland,  or  at  this  office.  The  list  is. very  com-  '  are  embraced  in  that  small  volume  which  practically  con 
plete.  It  provides  for  228  classes,  eleven  kennel  prizes  and  a 
long  list  of  valuable  specials.  (We  would  add  right  here  that 
there  are  not  less  than  thirty  other  specials  not  in  the  printed 
list — and  many  more  not  yet  heard  from). 

Several  entries  have  been  received  already,  at  this  early 
date,  and  the  show  promises  to  rival  the  San  Francisco  show 
in  the  number  of  entries. 

As  this  association  is  a  new  one  to  the  kennel  interests  of 


tained  all  of  the  thoroughbred  horses  of  Great  Britain  in  the 
early  years  of  this  century,  say  1809.  Brevity  was  the  guid- 
ing star  of  the  compiler,  but  notwithstanning  briefness  all 
necessary  information  is  embodied,  the  only  trouble  being 
that  confusion  might  arise  from  duplicating  names,  This 
could  easily  be  overcome  as  will  be  shown  hereafter.  Smaller 
space  occupied  with  pedigrees  than  is  given  in  the  American 
Stud  Book,  though  the  latter  is  clearer  to  one  who  is  not 
familiar  with  tables  of  equine  genealogy.     The    following

Newark  Coursing. 


As  there  are  about  forty  hares  still  left  in  the  Newark  Park 
Grounds,  the  "boys"  have  made  arrangements  to  have  a 
finishing-up  day  out  there  on  Sunday  (to-morrow.)  Nearly 
all  the  city  owners  and  a  few  of  the  country  leashraen  as  well 
will  enter  their  flyers,  so  it  is  pretty  certain  that  a  good  day's 
sport  will  be  the  result. 

A  Show  at  Stockton. 


The  dog  fanciers  of  Stockton  organized  a  kennel  club  on 
May  4.  They  have  sent  on  their  application  to  the  American 
Kennel  Club,  and  have  claimed  dates  for  a  show  to  be  held 
September  19  to  22.

"Note"— It  has  often  been  reported  that  the  above  Tartar  mare 
foaled  Queen  Mab  at  the  age  of  36.  but  we  are  of  the  opinion  that 
this  is  rendered  more  than  doubtful  by  the  circumstances  of  Tartar's 
having  been  in  training  in  174$  and  1749,  and  of  there  being  no  rec- 
ord of  any  oi  his  gel  foaled  so  early  by  several  years,  or  of  his  having 
covered  before  he  was  put  out  of  training." 

This  is  the  longest  note  I  have  found  in  the  volume  the 
usual  appendage  being  a  notice  of  death  ,barrenness  or  having 
been  sent  to  a  foreign  country.  The  "  ditto"  means  that  the 
foal  was  by  the  same  horse  as  got  the  one  before  ditto,  thus 
the  last  ten  foals  were  by  Eclipse.  The  American  formula 
would  be

,  Both  English  and  American  methods  are  concise  and  when 
,  placed  in  comparison  with  those  followed  in   the  Trotting 
I  Register  must  strike  an  observer  as  being  superior,  unless  there 
j  are  inseparable  obstacles  to  prevent  adoption.    The  only  real 
Visits,  Sales,  Whelps  and  Names  Claimed  published  in  this  column  j  difference  is  found  in  the  conditions  which  govern  in  deter- 
mining eligibility.     It  is  the  popular  supposition  that  seven 
thoroughbred  crosses  in  Eneland  and  five  in  America  entitle 
registration  in  the  Stud  Books,  and  that  is  all  that  is  necessary 
to  constitute  a  thoroughbred.     Partially  right  iu  making  the 
assumption  but  not  strictly  correct.     The  preface  to  the  first 
edition  of  the  first   volume  of  the  "General   Stud    Book" 
reads  as  follows- 

"  The  author  of  the  following  pages,  with  a  view  to  correct 
the  then  increasing  evil  of  false  and  inaccurate  pedigrees,  was, 
in  the  year  1791,  prevailed  upon  to  publish. 

"  Introduction  to  n  General  Stud  Book"  consisting  of  a  small 
collection  of  pedigrees  which  he  had  extracted  from  Pacing 
Calendars  and  Sale  Papers,  and  arranged  on  a  new  plan. 

By  the  kind  patronage  and  assistance  of  the  principal 
Breeders  and  other  Noblemen  and  Gentlemen  of  the  Turf,  it 
has  grown  into  a  bulky  volume,  which  is  now  offered  to  the 
Subscribers  and  the  Public,  not-as  a  universal  Stud  Book,  nor 
as  perfectly  free  from  error,  but  with  a  confident  hope  that  it 
will  be  found  to  contain,  in  the  most  concise  and  approved 
form,  a  greater  mass  of  authentic  information  respecting  the 
Pedigrees  of  Horses,  than  has  ever  before  been  collected 
together."

The  advertisement  to  the  third  edition  reads  : 
"Exclusive  of  a  few  corrections,  the  difference  between 
Ibis  and  the  former  Editions  consists  in  the  omission  of  the 
list  of  subscribers  and  o(  such  broodmares  as  are  given  com-

June,  ISqS." 

This  is  all  that  is  printed  in  my  copy  of  the  first  volume. 
There  is  a  longer  preface  to  the  first  edition  of  the  second  vol- 
ume, one  paragraph  of  which  is  worthy  of  being  made  the 
test  of  afuture  article,  but  in  that  and  succeeding  prefaces 
there  is  nothing  to  specify  the  conditions  which  would  ensure 
incorporation.  Compilers  were  the  sole  arbiters,  but  it  is 
needless  to  say  that  an  attempt  to  introduce  animals  into  the 
"  General  Stud  Book  "  which  did  not  possess  well-known 
qualifications  would  have  met  with  universal  condemnation 
and  the  volume  be  rejected  as  worthless. 

In  the  preface  of  the  first  volume  of  the  American  Stud 
Book  is  the  following  paragraph — "  Without  wishing  to  take 
the  responsibility  of  fixing  a  standard  for  the  blood  stock  of 
the  United  States,  the  general  custom  has  been  followed 
of  calling  those  thoroughbreds  that  have  an  uncontaminated 
pedigree  for  five  generations.  Some  of  our  most  distinguished 
families  on  the  American  turf  cannot  be  traced  thus  far,  and 
they  have  been  embodied  in  this  work,  their  claims  being 
recognized  by  every  one  familiar  with  the  subject,  and  their 
exclusion  would  have  wrought  manifest  injustice." 

The  foundation,  therefore,  of  both  English  and  American 
stud  book  was  capacity  [to  race  [or  kinship  to  those  who  had 
demonstrated  their  fitness  for  the  turf.  In  this  respect  there 
was  little  difference  between  racing  and  trotting  registration, 
though  as  time  brought  changes  it  became  necessary  to  adopt 
a  more  stringent  test.  After  the  publication  of  the  first  and 
second  volumes  of  the  General  Stud  Book,  capacity  to  race 
was  not  accepted  as  the  proper  certificate,  in  fact,  that  was 
only  the  basis  for  the  very  first  compilation  and  not  that 
alone.  Although  nearly  one  hundred  years  later  in  taking 
the  field  Bruce  in  the  American  Stud  Book — those  which 
preceded  it  were  not  worthy  of  the  same — had  to  accept  like 
ground,  viz.,  some  pretentions  to  breeding  as  well  as  speed  at 
the  gallop. 

At  the  present  date,  however,  the  exactions  are  more 
severe,  and  the  most  brilliantly  endowed  racehorse  could  not 
obtain  admission,  as  thoroughbred,  without  the  breeding  ran 
through  "five  uncontaminated  crosses."  The  probable  reason 
for  adopting  five  crosses  as  the  standard  for  thoroughbred 
came  from  the  practice  of  excluding  fiom  "cocktail "  races 
animals  which  possessed  that  much  blood,and  taking  the  con- 
verse if  the  proposition  came  to  the  conclusion  that  if  not 
cocktails  they  were  thoroughbreds. 

When  the  first  trotting  standard  was  adopted,and  the  Trot- 
ting Register,  or  at  least  the  Standard  department  of  the 
Register,  restricted  to  those  possessing  the  promulgated  re- 
quirements for  the  first  time  in  Stud  Book  history  perform- 
ances were  given  weight.  That  is,  performances  of  a  certain 
class,  viz.,  those  which  would  stand  the  time  gauge.  With 
this  qualification  absolutely  fixed  that  2:30  or  better  will  en- 
title mare  or  gelding  to  registration  as  standard,  and  also 
when  one  offspring  of  a  mare  trots  in  that  time,  or  two  of  the 
get  of  a  stallion  gives  the  same  privilege  it  is  evident  that 
trotting  stud  books  must  ultimately  contain  afar  larger  list  of 
animals  than  those  which  are  formed  on  a  more  select  basis. 
Therefore  the  utmost  briefness  should  prevail  commensurate, 
with  affording  the  desired  information.  Few  of  those  who 
are  at  all  familiar  with  both  systems  of  recording  pedigrees 
will  deny  that  the  older  method  is  greatly  superior  when 
concession  is  made  the  base  of  estimate,  and  students  of  blood 
lines  will  also  assent  to  the  claim  that  it  is  much  easier  to  ob- 
tain the  knowledge  sought  But  one  of  the  most  important 
results  which  will  follow  change  is  the  saving  of  expense  to 
the  Registration  Association  as  well  as  breeders  and  others 
who  use  the  books  published  by  the  association. 

To  show  that  the  plan  of  the  thoroughbred  stud  books  is 
superior  to  that  in  use,  I  will  offer  the  following  example. 
Taking  Beautiful  Bells  as  the  exponent  of  both  systems  from 
'he  fact  that  she  is  one  of  the  most  noted  of  trotting  brood- 
mares and  with  so  numerous  a  progeny  as  to  afford  an  apt 
illustration.  Referring  to  the  books  already  published  and 
beginning  with  tbat  truly  valuable  work,  the  "  Index-Digest," 
and  the  entry  stands :

nehaha, by  Stevens'  Bald  Chief,  4, 6. 

This  is  all  on  one  Hne  and  printed  in  such  type  that  the 
page  contains  eighty  eight  names.  This  is  a  good  deal  of 
information  in  small  compass.  The  star  before  the  name 
denotes  that  she  is  in  the  Great  Broodmare  Table  ;  2:29A  her 
record  ;  (2,  5,  6)  in  parenthesis  the  rales  under  which  she  is

be  obtained.    Turning  to  Vol.  4  the  entry  is :

In  Volume  VI  there  are  188  pages  of  "standard"  mares 
and  geldings,  with  an  occasional  entry  when  the  produce  is 
added  as  in  the  above  case,  and  surely  if  it  is  good  in  the 
few  it  would  be  in  the  many. 

But  pursuing  the  plan  of  learning  which  there  is  in  the

The  Year  Book  is  beautifully  concise,  if  such  an  expres- 
on  can  be   used,  and  it  may  be   better  to  say  that  it  is  a 


wonderful  epitome,  a  condensation  of  knowledge  of  vital  im- 
portance to  breeders  of  trotters,  indispensable  to  writers  on 
trotting  and  pacing  horses. 

With  all  that  a^ray  of  information  there  is  still  a  lack 
which  to  replace  from  all  the  sources  of  information  now  at 
hand  would  require  so  much  labor  that  the  task  would  only 
be  undertaken  by  one  who  had  either  some  pet  notion  to 
gratify  or  a  big  stake  depending  on  completing  the  job. 

Continuing  the  Beautiful  Bell  example,  let  us  suppose  tbat 
a  student  of  trotting-horse  breeding  fully  equipped  with  all 
the  Registers,  Year  Books  and  Index  Digests  was  attracted 
by  the  number  of  her  sons  and  daughters  in  the  Great 
Broodmare  Table  and  desired  all  the  information  he  could 
obtain  on  the  subject.  The  table  of  produce  in  Volume  6 
of  the  Register  would  be  a  material  assistance,  but  not  suffi- 
cient to  make  a  searching  analysis.  There  are  seven  foals 
given,  three  of  which  had  not  obtained  a  place  in  the  "5Lear 
Book.  He  would  learn  that  Chimes  had  gained  distinction 
as  the  progenitor  of  fast  trotters,  and  infer  that  Rosemont 
was  the  dam  of  Mont  Rose  and  Sweet  Rose.  From  the  Year 
Book  he  would  learn  that  there  was  a  foal  in  1S90,  Bell  Bird, 
and  from  Volume  6,  not  containing  Belleflower  he  would 
understand  that  she  was  foaled  subsequent  to  1836.  It  is  not 
necessary,  however,  to  enter  minutely  into  what  could  not 
be  acquired  from  Registers  and  Year  Books  as  an  amended 
reproduction  of  the  thoroughbred  system  will  show  the  ad- 
vantages as  plainly  as  to  be  evident  with  very  little  study.

This  one  entry  in  the  Register  furnishes  a  mass  of  informa- 
tion without  further  trouble.  It  shows  that  up  to  and  includ- 
ing 1892  she  had  thirteen  sons  and  daughters,  seven  of  them 
in  the  list  and  another  within  three-quarters  of  a  second.  By 
giving  the  numbers  of  her  entire  sons  the  necessity  for  en- 
tering each  separate  from  the  dam  is  avoided  and  is  quite  as 
eflectual  a  corrective  for  the  duplication  of  names  as  the 
present  method  supplies. 

There  are  very  few  mares  which  the  Registers  and  Year 
Books  give  as  much  information  about  as  they  do  in  this 
case,  and  outside  of  those  which  have  earned  a  place  in  the 
great  broodmare  department  there  is  little  foundation  for 
forming  an  estimate.  Troublesome,  so  much  so,  that  to  find 
the  "standard"  and  registered  progeny  of  a  mare  all  of  the 
volumes  would  have  to  be  closely  scanned,  and  those  outside 
of  the  fold  impossible  to  gather.  All  of  Beautiful  Bell's 
progeny  get  a  place,  but  had  there  been  some  ineligible  to 
registry,  that  could  easily  be  made  manifest  by  attaching  a 
sign  which  would  indicate  their  position.  While  it  is  a  mo- 
mentous question,  demanding  careful  attention,  it  is  not  one 
which  forbids  discussion,  and  from  discussion  there  is  likely 
to  be  improvement.  I  admit  that  at  present  there  are  obsta- 
cles in  the  way  of  so  radical  a  change  as  that  suggested  in 
this  paper,  though  far  from  being  insurmountable.  There  is 
already  an  impression  that  Stud  Books  and  Registers  are 
nothing  more  than  records  of  pedigrees,  and  when  that  rec- 
ord is  as  free  from  errors  as  it  can  be  made,  their  purpose 
has  been  acccomplished.  The  mere  reference  to  page  and 
volume  of  either  the  English  or  American  Stud  Books  is  val- 
uable so  far  as  that  it  gives  the  place  where  the  pedigree  can 
be  found.  On  that  page  there  may  be  the  progeny  of  sire  and 
dam,  which  occupy  a  very  high  place  in  racing  calendars, 
or  offspring  of  others  which  are  unknown  to  fame.  "Standard 
and  registered"  goes  no  further,  and  however  high  the  stand- 
ard adopted,  should  degeneration  follow,  it  must  find  its  true 
level. 

When  genealogy  can  be  studied  with  the  least  possible 
trouble,  and  full  pedigrees  obtainable  with  the  minimum  of 
research,  the  pedigrees  of  all  in  place  of  a  select  few,  that  will 
be  in  the  end  the  most  satisfactory  "authority"  on  breeding. 


THE  ALLEGED  STAMBOUL  FRAUD  AND  OTHERS. 
We  do  not  know  what  steps  are  being  taken  for  a  fall  investigation 
of  the  Stambonl  matter.  It  would  seem,  however,  that  there  are 
sufficient  data  to  call  loudly  for  a  very  searching  examination  into 
the  facts  of  that  now  celebrated  case.  The  evidence  appears  to  be 
very  strong  that  one  of  the  boldest  and  most  disgraceful  frauds  ever 
attempted  to  be  perpetrated  ia  this  country  has  been  all  but  success- 
fully "  worked  "  on  the  horsemen  and  upon  the  associations.  If  this 
be  true,  no  man  who  has  been  connected  with  this  infamous  plot  is 
fit  to  be  permitted  to  exercise  any  riphts  whatever  upon  the  trotting 
tracks  of  the  country.  It  is  simply  infamous.  It  is  wholly  immaterial 
who  the  men  may  be.  We  do  not  now  recall  the  name  of  one  ot 
them,  and,  except  as  they  may  have  been  connected  with  this,  know 
nothing  about  them.  The  associations  owe  it  to  themselves  to  make 
an  example  of  any  men  who  attempt  such  gross  deceptions  on  the 
public.  To  report  time  ten  seconds  faster  than  that  which  a  horse 
actually  makw  is  so  gross  a  crime  that  it  can  not  be  treated  with  too 
much  severity. 

The  above,  copied  from  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm, 
is  moderate  in  tone  to  some  of  the  Eastern  news- 
paper comments  excited  by  the  Sam  Gamble  pronunciamento 
which  appeared  in  the  Spirit  of  the  Times,  tiome  were  vio- 
lent in  denouncing  and  included  the  whole  of  California  in 
their  diatribes.  It  further  shows  the  readiness  with  which 
attacks  on  "  records  "  are  accepted,  and  without  taking  the 
trouble  to  examine  the  vouchers,  some  people  are  prone  to 
give  credit  to  the  most  absurd  statements.  As  the  Kentucky 
Stock  Farm  publishes:  "To  report  time  ten  seconds  faster 
than  that  which  a  horse  actually  makes  is  so  gross  a  crime 
that  it  cannot  be  treated  with  too  much  severity."  I  heartily 
agree  in  that  proposition,  but  the  magnitude  of  the  crime 
should  also  raise  a  suspicion  of  the  value  of  the  evidenca 
upon  which  the  sustentation  of  the  charge  depends. 

So  unreasonable  that  anyone,  however,  unaccustomed  to 
timing,  should  make  such  a  mistake,  or  have  the  hardihood 
to  wilfullly  falsify  the  time  to  that  extent,  that  is  to  over- 
throw the*  verdict  of  the  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals  on  such  a 
cock-and-bull  story  as  that  incorporated  in  Mr.  Gamble's  let- 
ter, can  only  be  attributed  to  ignorance  of  the  testimony 
which  justified  the  Board  in  pronouncing  its  decision.  It  is 
the  longest  kind  of  odds  that  if  that  testimony  were  submitted 


to  "  Iconoclast  "  that  the  charges  in  the  now  notorious  letter 
would  be  cast  aside  as  too  puerile  for  the  sligb.es  t  considera- 
tion. 

In  place  of  warranting  a  "  new  trial  "  it  is  not  deserving  of 
notice,  and  had  it  not  been  for  the  importance  given  it  by  the 
Eastern  papers  would  not  have  been  accorded  only  space 
enough  to  show  its  weakness. 

I  heartily  concur  in  the  following  sentences.  "Men con- 
victed of  such  an  offense  should  be  forever  debarred  from  ex- 
ercising privileges  upon  trotting  tracks.  They  are  a  continual 
source  of  danger,  and  would  not  scruple  to  commit  any  other 
infamy  hy  which  they  might  be  able  to  reap  a  pecuniary  ad- 
vantage." 

That  being  granted,  what  should  be  done  with  men  who 
bring  such  charges  on  grounds  so  frivolous  that  they  are  ab- 
surdly unreasonable  to  those  who  are  familiar  with  the  whole 
case.  That  people  who  are  not  conversant  should  be  misled 
is  not  strange.  For  the  honor  of  the  whole  State,  and  espec- 
ially the  people  who  rest  under  the  imputation,  it  may  be 
well  to  republish  the  evidence.  If  that  is  not  admitted  to 
prove  conclusively  that  the  Pacific  Board  was  fully,  unques- 
tionably correct  in  the  decision,  then  the  course  will  be  a 
trial  in  courts  of  law  where  perjury  can  be  punished. 


Gratifying. — It  may  be  termed  egotism,  it  is  certainly 
not  in  good  taste  to  make  any  great  fuss  over  people  being 
converted  to  our  views  on  any  particular  subject.  Still  one 
may  be  pardoned  for  calling  attention  to  changes  which  sig- 
nify a  great  deal  to  the  person  who  has  been  castigated  for 
offenses  which  are  now  rated  as  well  worthy  of  praise,  and 
humanity  it  is  constituted  that  the  gratification  derived  from 
the  change  of  sentiment  is  heightened  by  making  it  known. 
It  is  not  merely  gratification  over  personal  victories,  as  these 
might  be  called  wherein  individual  fights  are  won,  but  also  to 
record  the  change  of  opinion  which  admits  that  California 
innovations  after  all  were  commenable  departures,  deserving 
of  praise  in  place  of  censure.  Thus  Capt.  Ben  E.  Harris, 
several  years  ago  on  the  Oakland  track,  put  up  a  starting 
signal  and  distance  indicators  which  were  controlled  by  the 
presiding  judge.  When  the  ord  er  to  start  was  given  by  pull- 
ing a  rope  attached  to  a  gong,  some  hundred  yards  in  advance 
there  was  a  red  board  with  large  white  letters  "  GO"  on  it 
which  dropped  in  full  view  of  the  drivers.  When  the  lead- 
horse  crossed  the  score  at  the  finish  of  the  heat,  the  same 
machinery  dropped  the  distance  flag,  and  thus  the  question 
oftentimes  bo  troublesome,  as  to  whether  the  flag  was  lowered 
at  the  proper  lime  was  settled.  Strange  as  it  may  seem  there 
was  violent  opposition.  The  starting  signal  was  cat  down  in 
the  night,  and  the  distance  arrangement  displaced  by  the 
officials  of  the  fair.  Eastern  papers  are  now  advocating  a  simi- 
lar practice,  and  after  it  has  been  accepted  as  the  "  correct 
thing"  there,  there  may  be  a  change  of  sentiment  here. 

The  new  Jockey  Club  advises  that  free  badges  be  refused, 
and  anyone  who  will  go  to  the  trouble  of  going  over  the  back 
volumes  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  will  learn  that 
was  urged  years  ago, 

But  it  is  not  my  intention  to  present  the  acquiescence  now 
in  suggestions  tendered  in  the  past,  and  then  condemned, 
fcrther  than  to  show  that  there  are  well-grounded  hopes  that 
the  old-time  ruts,  in  which  the  wheels  of  trotting  manage- 
ment seemed  to  be  sunk  for  good,  are  having  the  edges 
abraded  in  places,  and  that  when  it  is  found  that  far  less 
power  is  required  to  propel  the  vehicle  when  a  smooth  sur- 
face is  reached,  that  the  whole  road  will  be  improved.

B.  B.   Vreeland  Is    Out    Again. 


Everyone  who  has  lived  in  San  Francisco  any  length  of 
time  will  remember  that  whole-souled  gentleman  E.  B.  Vree- 
lann.  He  is  a  pioneer  and  one  of  that  class  of  progressive 
men  "who  has  always  been  foremost  in  everything  tending  to 
the  development  of  California,  and  San  Francisco  in  particu- 
lar. He  is  a  leader  among  business  men,  and  when  it  was 
announced  a  few  weeks  ago  that  he  was  laid  up  with  rheuma- 
tism, that  his  right  arm  had  become  helpless  by  the  painful 
disease,  his  friends  were  naturally  much  shocked.  He  has, 
we  are  pleased  to  state,  entirely  recovered,  and  the  other 
evening  in  a  conversation  regarding  his  miraculous  cure  he 
stated  the  following  facts  : 

"The  rheumatism  extended  from  my  shoulder  blade  to  the 
end  of  the  fingers  on  my  right  hand.  It  was  very  painful. 
I  could  not  write.  I  could  not  raise  my  arm,  and  worse  still, 
my  hand  was  numb. 

"  I  consulted  several  of  the  best  physicians  in  San  Francis- 
co. Some  of  them  said  I  had  neuralgia  ;  some  said  it  was 
paralysis,  while  others  claimed  it  was  nervous  trouble.  The 
fact  of  the  matter  is,  their  stories  differed  so  materially  that 
I  became  disgusted.  And  yet,  at  the  same  time,  I  took  all 
sorts  of  remedies  and  used  all  sorts  of  lotions,  but  I  gained  no 
headway.  So  my  wife,  who  had  heard  of  the  wonderful  cures 
made  by  the  Calderwood  Rheumatism  Remedy,  went 
down  to  the  Flood  building  and  brought  home 
a  small  case  of  three  bottles.  It  cost  only  $5.  Well, 
it  was  pleasant  medicine  to  take  and  I  took  it.  When  the 
first  bottle  had  been  used  I  found  manifest  improvement. 
The  second  bottle  almost  cured  me.  I  took  the  third  bottle 
and  it  brought  me  out  entirely  cored,  and  I  most  cheerfully 
recommend  it  to  anybody  and  everybody  who  may  be  afflicted 
with  rheumatism.  I  am  satisfied  beyond  all  question  that 
Calderwood's  Rheumatism  Cure  is  a  grand  success,  and,  as 
such,  I  shall  endorse  it  wherever  I  go.  I  am  one  of  the  eas- 
iest men  to  find  in  San  Francisco,  as  I  am  nearly  always  at 
home  at  S3*  South  Park,  where  I  may  be  called  upon  or 
addressed  by  persons  interested  in  this  great  boon  to  human- 
ity. I  feel  in  saying  what  I  have  that  I  am  not  only  doing 
justice  to  the  remedy  that  has  cured  me,  but  at  the  same  time 
I  may  do  some  good  to  others  who  may  be  afflicted  as  I  was." 

I.  Monroe,  of  Burwood,  Stanislaus  County,  has  a  mare 
which  was  bred  to  a  Jack  last  year  on  the  following  dates 
April  24,  May  8  and  May  27,  Col.  Caleb  Dorsey,  of  Oakdale, 
a  town  not  far  from  Burwood,  writes  us  under  date  of  May: 
9th,  regarding  this  mare:  "She  dropped  a  mule  colt  on 
March  27th  ;  she  foaled  another  mule  April  27th,  both  born 
alive,  but  the  last  one  died  quite  recently."  This  is  a  very 
unusual  occurrence.  We  do  not  know  of  ever  haying  heard 
another  like  it

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB  RACES. 

TWENTX-SEVENTH  DAT — WEDNESDAY,  MAY  9. 

EAUTIFFL  weather  for  racing 
'  and  a  track  in  superb  condition, 
-^  combined  with  fast  horses  to  con- 
gest, made  a  day  of  equine  sport 
that  should  not  soon  be  forgotten 
There  was  an  improvement  in  the 
attendance  as  well  as  in  the  caliber 
of  the  animals  engaged  in  various 
events,  and  the  time  made  in  two 
of  the  events  was  quite  sensational,  Key  Alfonso  takiog  up 
121  pounds  and  running  half  a  mile  in  0:48^,  Romair  109 
pounds  and  galloping  the  full  six  furlongs  in  1:14  ilat.  Two 
favorites  were  successful,  two  6  to  1  shots  and  a  3A  to  1 
chance,  so  that  the  pencilers  had  a  considerable  shade  the 
best  of  the  argument  on  the  silver  and  gold  questions. 
Weaver,  Tuberville,  E.  Jones,  Glover  and  Madison  rode  the 
winners.  Coombs,  who  rode  Romulus,  poorly  today  and 
Gordius  frightfully  bad  yesterday,  was  set  down  for  incom- 
petency for  an  indefinite  period. 

Boule  was  backed  down  from  10  to  1  to  3J,  and  the  "  good 
thing"  looked  a  winner  up  to  the  last  fifty  yards,  when  Cur- 
rency simply  romped  by  her  and  won  easily  by  half  a  length, 
Boule  beating  Navy  Blue  a  length  for  the  place.  Alto  Slio 
led  to  the  homestretch,  but  ran  as  if  a  trifle  short  of  work, 
finishing  a  good  fourth,  however.  Seaside,  the  favorite,  was 
fifth. 

Rey  Alfonso  smashed  the  season's  half-mile  record  of  0:49 
to  the  extent  af  a  quarter  of  a  second,  and  carried  121  pounds 
into  the  bargain.  He  led  nearly  all  the  way,  and  beat  Gal- 
lant two  and  a  half  lengths.  The  latter  is  a  slow  beginner, 
but  a  fast  finisher,  and  will  surely  make  a  better  showing  at 
five  or  six  furlongs  than  at  four. 

Trix,  a  heavilv  played  favorite,  captured  the  third  race  by 
the  narrowest  of  margins  ;  indeed  it  looked  from  the  press 
stand  as  if  Floodmore  had  won  comfortably  in  the  last  stride. 
As  a  matter  of  fact,  however,  the  oflicials  are  the  only  ones 
in  a  position  to  determiue  exactly  the  outcome  of  a  race.  Ry- 
land  was  a  bang-up  fourth,  and  looked  much  like  a  winner  in 
the  homestretch,  to  which  point  Cherokee  led. 

Romair  won  the  six  furlong  handicap  by  four  lengths  in 
the  rattling  lime  of  1:14.  Motto  had  charge  of  affairs  until 
the  final  sixteenth,  and  finished  second,  Romulus  third. 

Bill  Howard  won  the  last  race  by  three  lengths,  and  it 
was  a  corking  good  one.  Xorlee  led  up  to  the  last  one  hundred 
yards,  when  Howard  said  good-bye.  Border  Lassie  was  third, 
lapped  on  Xorlee,and  but  a  head  in  front  of  the  black  Kath- 
leen. N.  S.  Hall  bought  Bill  Howard  out  of  this  race  for 
$1  000,  $400  over  his  entered  selling  price.

Seaside  was  a  favorite  at  2k  to  1.  Boule  was  backed  down 
from  10  to  3J  to  1.  Currency  was  at  6,  Xavy  Blue  and  Gold 
Dust  8  each,  the  others  from  12  to  100  to  1.  Currency,  Navy 
Blue,  April,  Boule  was  the  order  to  a  fair  start  after  a  delay 
in  which  Relampago,  Gold  Dust  and  Boule  were  the  princi- 
pal disturbers.  Alto  Mio  led  at  the  half-pole  by  a  length, 
Boule  second,  as  far  from  Gold  Dust,  Currency  a  good  fourth. 
Alto  Mio  drew  away  nearing  the  last  turn,  and  was  three 
lengths  to  the  good  as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch,  Boule 
second,  a  length  from  Currency.  Alto  Mio  died  away  in  the 
last  furlong,  and  Boule  looked  a  winner  up  to  the  last  fifty 
yards,  where  Currency  drew  up  and  proved  an  easy  winner 
bv  half  a  length,  Boule  second,  a  length  from  Xavy  Blue, 
who  came  fast  at  the  end.     Time,  1:13$.

at  2)  and  Eckert  40  to  1.  Venus,  Rey  Alfonso,  Gallant, 
Eckert  was  the  order  to  a  fair  start.  Rey  Alfonso  broke  like 
a  quarter  horse,  and  opened  up  a  gap  on  Venus  of  about  three 
lengths  in  the  first  100  yards,  Gallant  about  three  lengths 
back.  They  both  gained  fast  on  the  favorite  as  they  neared 
the  homestretch,  into  which  Rey  Alfonso  led  a  length  under 
the  pull.  There  was  a  sharp  tussle  for  place  between  Venus 
and  Gallant,  but  the  latter  outgamed  the  filly  and  finished 
second,  two  lengths  behind  Rev  Alfonso,  and  one  and  a  half

To  a  fair  start  Trix  led,  with  Cherokee,  Floodmore,  Kyland, 
Joe  Frank  and  Alexia  in  the  order  named.  Cherokee  led  by 
half  a  length  at  the  i|iiarterpole,  Trix  second,  four  lengths 
from  Kyland.  At  the  half  Cherokee  was  two  lengths  to  the 
good,  Trix  second,  lapped  by  Kyland.  There  was  a  bunch- 
ing up  nearing  the  final  turn,  where  Cherokee's  lead  had 
been  cut  down  to  halfa  length.  Kyland  was  second,  lapped  by 
Trix,  and  sho Dl  ent  up  for  the  former.  He  got  his  head  in 
front  a  sixteenth  r-om  home.  Trix  came  again,  however,  and 
in  a  drive  beat  Kyland  half  a  length.  Floodmore  came  with 
a  great  rush  at  the  end,  and  appeared  from  the  press  stand  to 


have  won  in  the  last  jump  by  a  good  head,  but   they  were 
placed  Trix,  Floodmore,  Ryland  by  the  judges.    Time,  1:43.

Motto  was  a  hot  favorite,  opening  at  9  to  5,  closing  at  7  to 
5.  Rube  Burrows  was  next  in  demand  at  3  to  1,  Romulus 
and  Romair  being  at  3 '  each,  the  latter' s  opening  odds  being 
2  to  1.  To  a  good  start  the  order  was  Romulus,  Rube  Bur- 
rows^Romair,  Motto.  The  latter  ran  to  the  front  in  the  first 
twenty-five  yards,  and  at  the  half  bad  put  three  lengths  of 
daylight  between  herself  and  Romair,  who  was  four  lengths 
from  Romulus.  Motto's  lead  was  cut  down  to  three  lengths 
making  the  final  turn,  and  Romair,  second,  was  four  lengths 
from  Romulus.  A  sixteenth  from  the  end  Romair  drew  up 
close  to  Motto.  The  mare  held  on  for  a  few  strides,  but 
Romair  shook  her  off  and  won  a  grand  race  by  four  lengths. 
Motto  second,  driven  out,  two  lengths  from  Romulus,  whom 
Coombs  gave  one  of  his  characteristic  rides.  The  colt  was 
sent  along  about  three  furlongs  further,  and  when  he  came

Norlee  was  a  tropical  favorite,  opening  at  2  to  1,  closing  at 
b'  to  5.  Guard  and  Border  Lassie  were  3£-to-l  shots  at  the 
close,  Guard  being  backed  down  from  4.  Bill  Howard 
opened  at  4,  closed  at  6.  Charger  was  played  down  from  20 
to  10  to  1.  Norlee,  Bill  Howard,  Kathleen  was  the  order  to 
an  elegant  start.  At  the  half-pole  Bill  Howard  was  first  by  a 
neck,  Xorlee  second,  half  a  length  in  front  of  Border  Lassie. 
Jsorlee  passed  Howard  about  three  furlongs  from  home,  and 
went  away  like  a  streak,  leading  as  they  turned  for  home  by 
three  good  lengths,  Bill  Howard  second,  half  a  length  from 
Border  Lassie.  Norlee  led  until  about  one  hundred  yards  of 
the  finish,  when  Bill  Howard,  under  Madison's  strong  urg- 
ing, collared  and  passed  the  filly,  and  drawing  away  at  every 
stride,  won  by  three  lengths,  Norlee  being  second,  three  parts 
of  a  length  from  Border  Lassie,  who  beat  the  black 
Kathleen  but  a  head  for  the  show.  Time,  1:01}.  N.  S.  Hall 
bid  Bill  Howard  up  to  $1,000  and  secured  him  at  this  figure. 
This  was  a  raise  over  his  entered  selling  price  of  $400. 

TWENTY-EIUHTH   DAT — THURSDAY,  MAY  10. 

It  was  a  cold  day  in  truth,  and  decidedly  chilly  for  the 
talent  up  to  the  last  race.  Two  favorites  didmanage  to  get 
home  in  front,  but  as  there  was  a  good  play  on  most  of  the 
horses  that  did  not  win  the  chances  are  the  pencilers  quit 
several  dollars  to  the  good.  The  track  was  fast,  but  a  heavy 
wind  made  fast  time  rather  at  a  discount.  There  was  an 
excellent  attendance,  weather  considered,  and  the  card  was  a 
most  attractive  one.  Chevalier  again  brought  in  a  couple  of 
winners,  and  the  remaining  three  winners  were  piloted  to 
E.  Jooes,  Hennessy  and  Burns. 

Outright,  second  choice  in  the  first  event,  got  away  second, 
was  third  at  the  quarter,  second  at  the  hair  to  Sidney,  first 
into  the  homestretch,  and  in  a  drive  won  by  half  a  length 
from  Captain  Coster  (sixth  away  to  the  send-off),  King  Sam, 
the  favorite,   third. 

El  Tirano,  rather  neglected  by  bettors  on  account  of  his 
recent  poor  showing,  won  the  second  race  in  a  canter  by  two 
lengths,  Silver  in  a  hard  drive  beating  the  favorite,  Foremost, 
a  head  for  the  place. 

Rear  Guard  captured  the  third,  making  a  most  remarkable 
run  from  almost  the  last  place,  the  send-oft  being  very  much 
of  a  straggling  one.  To  win  by  two  lengths,  as  he  did,  he 
must  have  run  nearly  two  seconds  faster  than  those  off  in 
front  at  the  flag-fall.  Ida  Glenn  led  up  to  the  last  sixteenth, 
where  Rear  Guard  got  up  and  passed  her  under  urging.  Ida 
Glenn,  Polaski,  Green  Hock  and  Cocheco  finished  as  named 
behind  Rear  Guard,  heads  apart,  the  latter  making  a  phe- 
nomenal run  from  the  extreme  rear. 

Gladiator,  at  8  and  10  to  1,  led  all  the  way  in  the  mile 
handicap,  winning  easily  by  three  lengths  from  Trentola, 
Last  Chance  (the  good  thing)  third.  Hy  Dy,  the  odds-on 
favorite,  was  fourth  at  the  finish. 

Model,  backed  down  from  4  to  1  to  9  to  5,  made  a  runaway 
win  of  the  last  race,  full  six  furlongs,  beating  Sea  Spray  two 
lengths  easily,  Boston  Boy  third  by  a  head.  No  time  was 
taken,  but  a  number  of  horsemen  caught  it  at  1:14  fiat.

King  Sam  opened  at  even  money,  closed  at  $  to  5.  Out- 
right was  backed  down  from  3A  to  2A  to  1.  Capt.  Coster  was 
at  11  to  £  at  the  opening,  3  to  1  at  the  close.  Ned  Foster 
and  True  Briton  were  at  15  to  1  each,  Sidney  and  Kelly  2d 
each,  McGinnis' First  30  to  1.  McGinnis'  First,  Outright, 
King  Sam  was  the  order  to  a  fair  start.  At  the  quarter  Mc- 
Ginnis' First,  Sidney  and  Outright  were  lengths  apart  as 
named.  McGinnis*  First  soon  fell  out  of  it,  and  Sidney  led 
passing  the  half  by  a  length,  Outright  second,  as  far  from 
King  Sam,  who  was  head-and-head  with  Capt.  Coster.  Near- 
ing the  final  turn  Outright  took  the  lead,  and  was  first  into  the 
homestretch  by  a  length,  Sidney  second,  a  head  from  King 
Sam.  Capt.  Coster  came  very  fast  against  the  rails  a  six- 
teenth from  home,  and  looked  dangerous  fora  moment.  Out- 
right was  not  to  be  denied,  however,  and  in  a  drive  won  by 
half  a  length,  Capt.  Coster  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths 
from  King  Sam,  third.  Time,  1:23.  Capt.  Coster  would  have 
won  in  all  likelihood  had  he  started  on  even  terms  with  Out- 
right.

Rear  Guard  was  a  favorite  at  11  to  5.  Promise  was  at  4i

Ledalia,  Ida  Glenn,  Green  Hock  was  the  order  to  a  very  poor

last,  two  lengths  behind  any  other  horse.  A.t  the  half-pole 
Ida  Glenn  was  half  a  length  in  front,  O'Bee  second,  a  length

eighty  yards,  when  Rear  Guard,  under  the  whip,  collared 
and  passed  the  old  mare,  and  won  handily  by  two  lengths, 
Ida  Glenn  second,  a  head  from  Polaski,  Green  Hock  and 
Cocheco  following,  heads  apart.  Rear  Guard  ran  a  great 
race  and  Cocheco  a  wonderful  one.     Time,  1:14$.

Hy  Dy  was  a  favorite,  backed  down  from  6  too  to  4  to  5. 
Last  Chance  was  played  heavily,  opening  at  4  to  1,  going  to 
5,  then  being  backed  down  to  3  to  1.  Booze  was  at  7,  Tren- 
tola and  Gladiator  8  to  1  each.  Gladiator,  Trentola,  Last

before  Trentola,  Hy  Dy  two  lengths  further  away.  Gladiator

f  Winner  trained  by  H  HoaE.J 

Model  was  one  of  the  greatest  favorites  of  the  meeting. 
Opening  at  4  to  1,  the  odds  gradually  receded  to  8  to  5.  At 
post-time  a  few  books  had  her  at  9  to  5.  Lonnie  B.  opened  at 
3,  closed  at  3*  to  1.  Catch  'Em  was  at  3  to  1  at  the  opening, 
4  to  1  at  the  close  ;  Boston  Boy  and  Sea  Spray  7  each,  Faro 
and  Gordius  each  10  to  1.  The  race  needs  little  description. 
Lonnie  B.,  Model,  Sea  Spray  was  the  order  to  a  good  start. 
Model  was  in  front  in  the  first  twenty-five  yards,  followed  by 
Sea  Spray  and  Catch 'Em.  Model  was  two  lengths  in  front 
at  the  half,  three  into  the  homestretch,  and  won  easily  from 
the  driven-out  Sea  Spray  by  two  lengths.  Catch  'Em  fell 
back  in  the  homestretch,  and  B  ston  Boy  came  from  the  rear 
and  nipped  the  show  in  the  last  stride  by  a  head,  Gordius 
fourth.  N"j  official  time  was  taken,  but  several  horsemen 
caught  it  at  1:14,  a  few  at  1:14}  for  the  full  six  furlongs.

Northern  Horses. 


Portland,  Ore.,  May  7. — The  rainy 
weather  has  retarded  the  development  of  very 
much  speed  this  Spring,  but  our  horses  are  all 
feeling  and  looking  strong  and  hard  in  flesh, 
as  if  ready  for  a  contest.  Reports  from  the 
surrounding  country  bring  the  news  of  more 
horses  being  trained  than  usual,  while  here  in 
Portland  we  vouchsafe  for  the  same  thing. 
While  visiting  the  track  at  Irvington  Park 
we  first  came  to  P.  J.  Mann's  Stable  and  took 
a  look  at  Altao,  2:17^  ;  Trumont,2:21}  ;  Man- 
mont, two-year-old  trotter,  by  Oneco,  dam 
Venetia,  the  dam  of  Althaia,  2:27i;  Vinmont, 
2:27  ;  Van,  three -year-old  pacer,  by  Hamble- 
tonian Mambrino,  dam  Deta  (full  sister  to  Del 
Norte,  2:1S±;  Chehalis,  2;24£),  by  Altamont. 
Mr.  Mann  is  training  his  own  horses  this  sea- 
son and  we  are  pleased  to  say  that  they  are 
in  better  condition  than  ever  before.  The  nest 
stable  is  being  "piloted"  by  John  L.  Sperry, 
where  we  were  shown  the  beautiful  little  fleet- 
footed  maid,  Altawood, pacer,  two-year-old,  rec- 
ord, 2:24|.  She  is  a  full  sister  to  Lady  Beach, 
2:26  and  McMinville  Maid,  2:22.  Mr.  Sperry 
also  has  Oregon  Girl,  pacer,  by  Lemont,  dam 
by  Deadshot ;  Nancy  Lee,  by  Lemont,  dam 
Codicil,  dam  of -Lady  Mac,  2:23^;  Leona, 
2:20,  by  Administrator;  Auron,  three-year- 
old,  by  Altamont,  dam  by  Bellfounder.  C. 
Roderiquez,  formerly  of  California,  has  a 
stable  of  mostly  green  ones.  In  his  stable  we  no- 
ticed the  black  stallion  Tualco,  by  Rockwood, ! 
dam  by  Xutwood  ;  -Dicker,  black  stallion,  by 
Junus,  2:23,  dam  by  Little  Crow;  Jubilee,  b 
m,  by  Altamont,  dam  by  Hambletonian  Mam- 
brino ;  Highland  Maid,  pacer,  by  Altamont, 
dam  by  Adirondack ;  three-year-old  by  Pilot 
Champion,  dam  Miss  Littlefield.  We  then 
passed  on  to  Mr.  Costo's  stable,  where  we 
found  a  bunch  of  fifteen  head  of  trotters  and 
pacers,  consisting  in  part  of  Pearl  Fisher, 
2:23^  ;  Tuchet,  three-year-old  pacer  by  Al- 
tamont, a  full  brother  to  Del  Norte,  2ilS\; 
Chehalis,  2:24^;  a  three-year  old  filly,  full 
sister  to  Lady  Daphna,  2:21.  Either  one  of 
these  three- year-olds,  judging  b>  their  speed, 
will  do  to  go  on  the  circuit  with,  and  we  be- 
lieve Mr.  Costo  has  them  entered  in  Califor- 
nia. He  has  also  a  two-year  old  trotter,  full 
sister  to  Del  Norte  and  Chehalis  that  is  show- 
ing lots  of  speed  and  his  gang  of  green  ones 
have  not  been  unbottled  yet.  John  Pender  is 
here  with  a  good-looking  stable  of  worthy 
youngsters.  He  has  Primrose,  three-year-old 
pacer,  by  Altamont,  dam  s  t  b  by  Nutwood; 
Glasgow,  p,  by  Montana  Wilkes. 

Direct  Wood,  two-year-old  trotter  by  Di- 
rector Jr.,  dam  Lady  Wood,  full  sister  to  Lady 
Maud,  2:23£,  by  Rockwood.  Mr.  Pender  also 
has  some  green  ones,  but  as  the  boys  are 
keeping  their  surprises  in  the  dark,  could  not 
find  out  much  about  them.  L.  B.  Lindsey  is 
also  quartered  here  with  a  fine  stable.  He  has 
Vanquish,  three-year-old  record,  2:19,  Ham- 
rock,  four-year-old  record.  2:22,  both  by 
Hambletonian  Mambrino;  Springtime,  2:32, 
by  Baron  Stein  ;  Harry  M.  P.,  2:22h,  by 
Priam  ;  a  three-year-old  trotter  by  the  Duke 
of  Portland.  Mr.  Liodsey's  horses  are  doing 
splendidly,  and  will  be  ready  to  lower  their 
records  when  the  bell  taps.  Wm.  Henry  is 
getting  together  a  stable,  and  now  has  Favor- 
ite Wilkes,  by  Wilkes,  What  Ho,  2:26,  by  A. 
W.  Richmond,  Auteuil,  by  Anteeo,  dam  by 
Indicator;  Jim  C,  by  Altamont,  dam  un- 
known; Waterloo,  by  Ante  Echo,  dam  by 
Indianapolis.  A.  G.  Ryan  is  jogging  his  two- 
year-old  filly  by  Gossiper,  2:14},  dam  by 
Judge  Salisbury  ;  yearling  colt  by  Portland, 
dam's  breeding  unknown.  He  is  the  cham- 
pion yearling  of  Oregon.  Quite  a  number  of 
gallopers  are  here,  but  we  were  too  late  to  get 
a  list  of  them.  Out  at  Witch  Hazel  Blondie  is 
being  jogged  at  the  trotting  gait,  and  is  big  and 
strong.  Pilot  Lemont,  2:21  J,  is  working 
well  in  the  hands  of  his  new  master.  Anita, 
2:26,  will  be  a  good  mare  this  year.  Grey 
Friar  is  being  prepared  for  the  green  classes. 
The  pacing  wonder,  Kittitas  Ranger,  is  not 
doing  much,  owing  to  a  mishap,  but  they  are 
in  hopes  he  will  soon  recover.  Carle  Carne, 
a  three-year-old  trotter  by  Ham,  is  booked  as 
a  great  colt,  while  Nellie  Ham,  a  two-year- 
old,  will  keep  up  her  part  of  the  honors. 

The  two  and  three-year-old  pacers  are 
working  well,  and  much  is  expected  from  this 
stable  before  they  retire  for  winter  quarters. 
Honest  John  Sawyer  is  working  his  stable  at 
Witch  Hazel.  He  has  Phallamout  Boy,  2:24J; 
De  Sota,  2:24;  Alba  L-,  a  promising  three- 
year-old;  Plato,  2:29,  and  some  green  ones. 
I.  C.  Mosher  has  Cour  d'Alene,  2:19};  Com- 
bination George,  p.,  2:18;  Analene,  a  good 
three-year-old  trotter,  and  King  Patcben  for 
the  slow  classes.  Phcestx.

one  pacer  in  charge  of  E.  S.  Mercer.  His  pros- 
pects of  having  a  winner  in  the  coming  con- 
tests are  very  bright ;  his  bay  mare,  Eliza  S., 
has  her  old  time  speed,  and  the  one  that  can 
beat  her  will  get  a  record  to  be  proud  of.  His 
yearling  bay  colt,  Tiberius,  by  Ccnstantine, 
dam  by  Sterling,  has  shown  eighths  in  25  sec- 
onds, and  has  been  trained  but  a  short  time. 
Charles  H,,  ch  g,  by  Alpheus,  dam  by  Ster- 
ling, shows  lots  of  speed  pacing  and  will  be 
a  good  one  in  the  green  classes  this  season. 

Frank  Grant  has  in  training  Forbestown, 
ch  s,  four  years  old,  by  Silver  King,  dam 
Mary,  by  French  Lion  ;  Nellie  Venture,  b  m, 
by  Venture,  dam  by  Signal  3327  ;  Nigger 
Baby,  blk  g,  by  Brigadier,  dam  Nellie  Ven-

dier, dam  Nellie  Venture ;  Peggy  Magee, 
yearling,  b  f,  by  Brigadier,  dam  Nellie  Ven- 
ture ;  Patsy  BolHver,  yearling,  cb  g,  by 
Forbestown,  dam  Jay  Bird,  by  Yuba  Boy ; 
Esther,  ch  f,  by  Silver  King,  dam  by  Gold 
Hunter  ;  Moose,  s  g,  four  years  old,  by  Silver 
King,  dam  by  Cyclone  ;  and  Moses  S.,  2:19^, 
by  Hawthorne,  dam  Ryan  Mare  (dam  of  Ha 
Ha,  2:22},  etc.),  by  Black  Hawk  767.  Moses 
S.  is  owned  by  Senator  Shippee  of  Bntte 
County.  He  will  no  doubt  develop  greater 
speed  this  year  if- he  goes  in  the  races,  as  Mr. 
Grant  is  a  very  careful  trainer. 

J.J.  McGrath  has  a  four-year-old  stallion 
by  Fallis,  dam  Fanny  Malone,  by  Niagara. 
He  will  be  put  in  training  after  the  season  aod 
will  no  doubt  make  a  good  trotter.  Mr  C.  B. 
Kimball,  one  of  Mar  ysvi  Lie's  leading  livery- 
men, is  a  great  horse  lover,  and  owns  some 
fine  bred  colts.  He  enjoys  the  time  he  spends 
at  the  track  watching  his  trainer,  CL  A.  Hogo- 
boom, late  of  Walla  Walla,  Wash.,  speed  the 
youngsters.  He  has  in  training  a  two-year-old 
stallion  by  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18,  dam  by  Dawn, 
2:lSf  ;  Hero,  b  s,  three-year-old  by  Dawn, 
2:18^,  dam  by  Alcona  Jr.;  Diana,  b  g,  three- 
year-old  by  Dawn,  2:18J,  dam  by  Brigadier. 
Mr.  Suel  Harris,  of  Sutter  county,  has  some 


very  promising  colts  in  training.  A  two-year- 
old  brown  filly  by  Don  Lowell,  2:20},  dam  by 
Brigadier,  2:21}  ;  four-year-old  filly  by  Direc- 
tor H.,  dam  Littlejohn  Mare;  ihree-year-old 
bay  filly  by  Director  H.,  dam  by  Brigadier. 
Besides  those  I  have  seen  in  and  around  the 
track,  the  country  adjacent  is  growing  such 
promising  trotters  as  the  distinguished  Don 
Lowell,  whose  birthp'ace  is  on  the  ranch  of 
Mr.  Suel  Harris,  who  bred  and  raised  him 
only  eight  miles  from  here.

Horse-owners  would  do  well  to  build  up  the  stakes  at  the  St.  Louis  Fair  Grounds.    In  future  years 
the  stakes  at  St.  Louis  will  be  at  least  as  valuable  as  those  of  any  Association  in  the  country. 

Horsemen  making  entries  to  stakes  will  of  course  have  preference  in  the  matter  of  stable-room  over 
those  who  do  not  make  stake  entries. 

Last  year  306  races  were  run  at  the  Fair  Grounds,  aud  more  than  $150,000  was  distributed  among 
horse-owners.    This  year  those  figures  will  most  Likelv  be  exceeded.    Eater  liberally  in  the  stakes  as  a

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Term.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08$,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27J,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  BostOD, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ? 

DIRECT  will  make  the  season  of  1894  at  Pleasanton,  Cal.,  for  fifteen  approved  outside

SAN  FRANCISCO,  SATURDAY,  MAY  19, 1894. 


CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES. 


TWENTY-NINTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  MAY  11. 

EVERAL  "  good  things"  were  cut 
loose  to  day  on  an  unsuspecting 
and  suffering  talent,  and  those  "  in 
ion  the  know"  made  a  barrel  of 
'  coin.  There  were  five  races,  and 
in  every  blessed  one  a  favorite 
knew  what  defeat  felt  like.  It  is 
doubtful  if  the  bookmakers  made 
much  money,  however,  as  the  out- 
ome  of  the  first,  second  and  fourth  races  simply  meant  finan- 
cial slaughter  for  the  pencilers.  Se  heavily  was  Mamie  D. 
played  in  the  first  race  that  the  odds  were  out  from  8  tol  to  5 
to  1.  In  the  second  event  the  Emperor  of  Norfolk — St.  Cecilia 
filly  was  pla7ed  down  from  30  to  1  to  15  to  1,  and  won  by  a  neck 
in  a  rousing  finish.  In  the  fourth  race  Gold  Dust  opened  at  4 
closed  at  11  to  5,  so  heavy  was  the  plunge.  In  fact,  nearly 
every  horse  that  was  played  for  a  killing  during  the  after- 
noon got  home  in  front,  and  the  knowing  ones  reaped  a  har- 
vest oforo.  Chevalier  rode  two  of  the  winners,  Sullivan- 
Russell  and  E.  Jones  the  others.  Chevalier's  mounts  are  be 
ing  played  strongly  these  days.  The  winners  he  rode  to  day 
were  at  odds  of  8  and  4  to  1,  Sullivan's  at  30  (at  one  time),, 
Russell's  at  8  and  Jones'  at  4.  The  track  was  fast,  so  was 
the  wind  that  blew  over  it,  and  the  attendance,  considering 
the  chilly  weather,  was  excellent.  There  were  two  close 
finishes,  and  the  racing  was  fairly  interesting,  but  the  caliber 
of  most  of  the  contestants  was  not  great. 

Mamie  D.  got  off  in  front  and  led  all  the  way  in  the  first 
race,  winning  handily  by  three  lengths.  Chevalier  taking  no 
chances  with  the  "  good  thing  "  he  bestrode.  Alto  Mio,  the 
favorite,  got  the  place  and  old  Joe  Hooker  Jr.  the  show. 

The  Emperor  of  Norfolk — St.  Cecilia  filly,  a  youngster 
that  had  never  done  anything  in  public  to  encourage  a  per- 
son to  play  her,  was  backed  down  from  30  to  1  to  15  to  1  by  her 
owner  and  his  friends.  Getting  away  second  and  well  under 
way,  she  ran  in  that  position  until  about  sixty  yards  of  the 
finish,  then  coming  out  of  the  bunch,  fast  winning  in  a  drive 
by  a  neck  from  Capt.  Coster,  who  got  away  sixth  and  was 
catching  the  fitly  at  every  stride.  Had  the  race  been  twenty 
yards  further  the  "good  thing  "  would  have  gone  wrong. 

Ryland,  6  to  1  at  the  close  (8  to  1  at  one  time),  ran  second 
into  the  homestretch,  then  came  on  and  won  in  a  drive  by 
half  a  length  from  Auteuil,  Currency  another  neck  away 
The  latter  ran  the  best  race  from  where  he  got  away. 

Gold  Dust  won  the  fourth  race  easily  after  Shamrock  quit 
to  nothing.  It  would  be  interesting  to  l.now  whether  or  not 
Gypsy  Girl  is  out  for  work  only  in  her  races.  Fit  and  well 
she  outclassed  that  field,  yet  she  runs  absolutely  last, 
making  no  showing  whatever.  The  public  have  lost  many 
thousands  of  dollars  on  that  mare,  and  her  poor  running 
would  indicate  that  she  was  started  "for  work,"  for  at  no 
point  did  she  show  any  of  her  old-time  speed. 


Border  Lassie  won  the  last  race  easily  by  over  a  length , 
leading  nearly  all  the  way.  Chemuck  was  second,  a  length 
from  Remus,  who  made  up  a  vast  amount  of  ground  in  the 
last  quarter.

bunch  when  the  flag  flopped.  Mamie  D.  led  at  the  half  by 
a  length,  Toots  second,  a  length  from  Twang.  Mamie  D. 
opened  out  on  her  friends  going  the  next  quarter,  and  led 
into  the  homestretch  by  three  lengths,  Alto  Mio  second,  a 
head  from  Toots,  who  led  Twang  three  lengths.  Mamie  D. 
was  not  let  up  on  by  Chevalier,  and  won  by  three  lengths, 
Alto  Mio  in  a  hard  drive  beating  old  Joe  Hooker  Jr.  a  neck 
for  place.  Vulcan  was  fourth,  lapped  on  Hooker.  Time,

Hanford  was  the  warmest  favorite  we  have  seen  in  some 
days,  opening  at  6  to  5,  going  to  8  to  5,  then  being  backed 
down  to  7  to  10  at  post  time.  Flirtilla  was  at  4  to  1,  Capt. 
Ccster  7,  Coquette  and  Niagara  12  to  1  each,  the  others  15  to 
1  each.  Washoe,  St.  Cecilia  filly,  Terranova  was  the  order  to 
a  fair  start.  The  favorite  was  off  absolutely  last.  Terranova 
led  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  by  a  length,  St.  Cecilia 
filly  second,  half  a  length  from  Washoe,  on  whom  Capt.  Cos- 
ter was  lapped.  The  St.  Cecilia  filly  came  out  of  the  bunch 
like  a  rocket  sixty  yards  from  the  finish,  and  Capt.  Coster 
after  her  like  a  bulldog.  In  a  rattling  finish,  the  Captain 
gaining  fast  at  every  stride,  the  Emperor  of  Norfolk-St. 
Cecilia  filly  won  by  a  short  neck,  Capt.  Coster  second,  two 
lengths  from  Flirtilla.  The  favorite  finished  fifth.  Time,  0:50.

Seaside  opened  at  3  to  1,  closed  a  favorite  at  2  to  1.  Blue 
and  White  and  Cherokee  were  at  4  to  1  each,  latter  backed

dalight was  still  in  front  a  head,  Cherokee  having  run  up 
second,  half  a  length  from  Ryland,  Seaside  now  a  close-up 
fourth.  Cherokee  fell  back  nearing  the  three-quarter  mark, 
and  Ryland  and  Nicodemus  passed  up  close  to  Vandalight. 
Currency  was  running  around  the  bunch  at  a  great  rate.  Ry-

Nellie  Van  was  a  slight  favorite  at  2  to  1.  Gold  Dust  was 
backed  down  from  4  to  1  to  11  to. 5.  Shamrock  and  Gypsy 
Girl  were  each  at  4,  Roanoke  and  Pronto  10  each,  Jennie  H. 
30  to  1.  Gold  Dust  was  first  at  the  start,  Shamrock  second, 
Gypsy  Girl  third.  Shamrock  was  first  to  the  half-pole  by 
half  a  length,  Nellie  Van  second,  a  length  from  Gold  Dust, 
Roanoke  fourth.  Shamrock  led  into  the  homestretch  by  a 
head,  Gold  Dust  second,  two  lengths  from  Nellie  Van.  Sham- 
rock drew  away  in  the  homestretch  under  urging  and  looked 
a  winner  up  to  the  final  sixteenth.  Here  he  began  to  quit 
and  Gold  Dust  soon  headed  him  and  won  by  three  lengths, 
Nellie  Van  beating  the  terrible  quitter,  Shamrock,  a  length 
for  the  place.  Gypsy  Girl  finished  absolutely  last.  Time, 
1:03J.  It  would  be  a  capital  idea  to  retire  this  old  mare.  By 
doing  so  a  few  months  ago  a  lot  of  money  would  have  been 
saved  the  public.     Why  her  owner  runs  her  is  a  poser.

Chevalier,  at  13  to  5,  was  a  favorite.  North  and  Border 
Lassie  were  at  4  to  1  each,  Chemuck  5,  Remus  6,  Reno  12,  the 
others  from  20  to  50  to  1.  An  excellent  start  was  effected. 
Chemuck  was  first  to  show,  followed  in  close  order  by  Pere- 
gal, Chevalier  and  Border  Lassie.  The  last  named  was  in 
front  in  the  first  seventy-five  yards,  leading  Chemuck  a  length 
passing  the  half,  the  latter  as  far  from  North.  Viceroy  was 
a  close-up  fourth.  Turning  for  home  Border  Lassie  was  still 
a  length  to  the  good,  Chemuck  second,  two  lengths  from  the 
favorite,  Chevalier,  who  was  now  moving  well.  The  pace 
was  a  fast  one.  A  sixteenth  from  home  Border  Lassie  and 
Chemuck  were  on  nearly  even  terms,  but  Chemuck  was  be- 
ing driven.  Forty  yards  from  the  finishing  point  Jones  urged 
Border  Lossie  a  trifle,  and  she  came  away  and  won  handily 
by  one  and  a  half  lengths,  Chemuck  second,  a  length  from 
the  black  colt,  Remus,  who  bad  made  a  phenomenal  run  down 
the  homestretch,  into  which  he  turned  ninth  in  the  field  of 
ten.  Time,  1:08 — the  fastest  race  run  at  the  distance  in  a 
long  time.  Border  Lassie  was  run  up  to  $600;  but  her  owner 
retained  her  at  $605,  $205  over  her  entered  selling  price. 

THIRTIETH  DAY—  SATORDAY,  MAY  12. 

Large  fields  of  good  horses  ran  over  a  fast  track  to-day 
in  the  old  Bay  District,  and  the  excellence  of  the  card  had  a 
magnetic  effect  on  fully  3,000  persons  that  ;liked  good  racing. 
Six  races  were  booked,  and  four  favorites  sniffed  large  quan- 
tities of  the  dust  of  defeat.  There  were  three  sensational 
wins — those  of  Orizaba,  Model  and  Silver — and  another 
sensation  was  caused  by  the  declaring  off  of  all  bets  in  the 
first  race  without  making  public  the  reason  for  so  doing;. 
That  it  was  due  the  race-goers  to  know  why  this  was 
thusly,  there  can  be  no  gainsaying.  President  Wil- 
liams,to  whom  inquirers  were  referred,  stated  that  there  was  a 
suspicion  that  a  certain  horse  in  the  race  was  not  out  to  win, 
and  while  he  would  not  name  the  parties  to  the  alleged  at- 
tempted fraud,  rumor  had  it  that  Rube  Burrows  was  the 
horse  "  out  for  his  health  "  only  in  the  race.  As  Rube  Bu  r- 
rows  won  easily  and  there  was  no  change  of  jockey  and  noth- 
ing done  to  resurrect  the  supposed  "dead "  one,  there  is  a 
mystery  about  the  matter  hard  of  solution.  A  suspected 
bookmaking  firm  whose  sheets  were  examined,  however, 
showed  that  had  Rube  Burrows  won  before  bsts  were  declared 
off  they  would  have  lost  about  $5,000  on  the  colt's  victory. 
After  the  new  deal  they  quit  something  like  $360  winner  on 
the  event.  This  has  an  odd  look,  but  as  the  firm  is  a  very 
wealthy  one  and  the  loss  of  $5,000  would  not  cripple  them 
this  might  be  explained  away  to  some,  but  not  satisfactorily 
to  a  majority. 

Rube  Burrows,  equal  favorite  with  Catch  'Em  at  the  close, 
got  away  second,  was  in  front  in  the   first   furlong,  and  not

thereafter  headed,  won  easily  by  three  lengths  from  Trix, 
who  beat  old  Gladiator  after  a  slight  tussle  down  the  home- 
stretch by  two  lengths. 

Jennie  Deane  experienced  little  trouble  iu  winning  the 
second  race.  She  got  away  well,  but  was  slow  to  gel  going, 
falling  back  to  the  middle  of  the  bunch,  which  she  came  out 
of  in  the  homestretch  and  won  handily  by  two  lengths  from 
Cocheco,  who  got  away  eighth  in  the  tie  Id  of  ten  and  would 
in  all  likelihood  have  "won  with  a  little  better  luck  iu  getting 
away.     Lady  Jane  was  a  poor  third. 

Orizaba  captured  the  mile  handicap  for  three-year  olds 
with  wonderful  ease.  He  got  away  sixth,  ran  up  second  to 
Artist  at  the  quarter,  and  held  a  good  position  until  Artist 
had  shot  his  bolt,  which  was  near  the  three-qusrters.  The 
Cyras  colt  then  came  on  and  won  by  three  lengths  from  Gil- 
ead, who  beat  Lovedal  in  a  hard  drive  a  neck.  Gilead  was 
a  heavily-played  favorite  in  this  race.  The  time  hung  out 
was  1:42},  but  a  number  of  horsemen  with  stop-watches 
caught  it  1:42  flat. 

Model  was  last  away  in  the  six-furlong  handicap,  in 
which  Romair  was  a  roaring  favorite.  She  led  by  a  couple 
of  lengths  to  the  homestretch,  nearing  which  Romair  was  cut 
loose.  Inch  by  inch  he  crawled  up  on  the  splendid  young 
daughter  of  Sir  Modred,  but  could  not  quite  bead  her,  though 
the  margin  Model  won  by  was  of  the  narrowest.  Zobair  fin- 
ished third. 

A  lot  of  excitement  was  caused  over  the  outcome  of  the 
fifth  race.  It  had  a  most  suspicious  tinge,  and  many  remarks 
derogatory  to  Bozeman's  riding  of  Midget  were  made.  Xor- 
lee  and  Midget  raced  head  and  head  into  the  homestrelch, 
six  lengths  in  front  of  Silver,  who  was  first  at  the  flag  fall. 
Norlee  fell  back,  and  Midget  took  the  lead.  The  latter  went 
a  very  zig-zag  course,  and  El  Tirano  passed  her  about  a  fur- 
long from  home  as  if  she  were  standing  still,  and  Silver  came 
after  the  colt  like  a  bull-dog.  The  pair  of  two-year.olds  made 
a  close  race  ofit,  Silver  winning  by  a  head.  Midget  has  run 
five  furlongs  with  10(i  pounds  up  handily  in  1:01},  and  with 
110  up  was  beaten  a  head  only  by  Guard  in  1:01}.  Today 
she  was  over  five  lengths  behind  the  winnerin  1:02,  carrying 
bat  104  pounds.  The  betting  on  the  mare  was  the  strangest 
feature.  Opening  at  even  money,  and  heavily  played,  the 
odds  agaiost  her,  notwithstanding  the  large  sums  going  in,  re- 
ceded to  2  to  1,  and  at  post  time  8  to  5  and  9  to  5  were  to  be 
had.  Col.  Chinn,  Chief  of  the  Board  of  Stewards,  said  the 
race  did  look  strange  to  him,  but,  questioning  Bozeman  close- 
ly, came  to  the  conclusion  it  was  the  mare  and  not  the  boy 
that  was  at  fault  in  the  matter — that  Midget  merely  quit,  as 
she  has  done  on  several  occasions  previous  to  this. 

The  mile  race,  colored  riders  up,  caused  much  merriment. 
Floodmore,  who  outclassed  his  field,  got  away  fourth,  was  sent 
to  the  front  at  the  first  turn,  and  won  easily  by  three  lengths, 
Auteuil  (seventh  away)  second,  well  ridden  by  Irwin,  Long 
d'Or  third.

lee third.  Norlee  and  Midget  soon  ran  by  the  leaders,  and

over  a  winner.  Bozeman  rode  her  a  very  zig-zag  course,  and

The  last  race,  one  mile,  with  "gemmen  of  cullah  "  for 
riders,  was  the  most  attractive  feature  of  the  programme. 
Floodmore  was  a  7  to  5  favorite,  Auteuil  next  in  demand  at 
2i  to  1.  Nicodemus  was  at  5,  Green  Hock  6,  the  others 
from  15  to  40  to  1.  Monroe  Johnson  on  Sheridan,  and 
Chauncey  Treadwell,  on  Nicodemus,  came  in  for  the  lion's 
share  of  greetings,  laughter  and  applause.  Auteuil's  rider, 
Irwin,  vieing  with  Jaspah  Madison  as  to  ebony  hue,  looked 
Determination  himself.  Goodman,  on  the  favorite,  appeared 
as  happy  as  if  he  had  just  made  a  heavy  haul  of  'possums 
and  sweet  potatoes.  The  race  needs  little  description. 
Floodmore  was  in  front  goiog  around  the  first  turn,  at  the 
quarter  and  half  four  lengths,  Long  d'Or  second  and  Green 
Hock  third,  with  Auteuil  at  the  tatter's  heels.  Irwin  sent 
Auteuil  along  fast  nearing  the  homestretch,  and  so  lively 
was  the  gain  that  it  looked  as  if  he  might  win.  Floodmore 
was  only  a  length  in  front  at  the  last  sixteenth,  Auteuil  and 
Long  d'  Or  running  as  named,  necks  apart.  Goodman  let 
Floodmore  have  his  head  at  this  point,  and  he  came  away 
and  won  easily  by  three  lengths,  Auteuil,  well  ridden  in  a 
drive,  beating  Long  d'Or  three  parts  of  a  length  for  place. 
Time,  1:46V — a  good  run  with  the  weight  up. 

THIRTY-FIRST  DAY — TUESDAY,  MAY  15. 

Good-sized  fields  raced  over  a  very  muddy  track 
this  afternoon  and  the  sport  was  excellent.  For  an  off-day 
the  attendance  was  quite  fair,  numbering  over  1,000.  Three 
favorites,  two  of  whom  divided  honors  with  other  horses, 
got  the  money,  ami  two  long  shots  also  won,  but  it  is 
doubtful  if  one  of  the  nine  books  quit  winner  on  the  day. 
The  first  race  was  called  one-two  by  the  talent.  In  the 
second  Ernest  was  played  down  from  5  to  1  to  2  to  1, 
and  won.  Dr.  Boss,  at  12  to  1  was  not  overlooked  in 
the  third  ;  Cherokee's  win  helped  the  pencilers  out  some, 
while  in  the  last  event  Remus  was  heavily  played  to  win  and 
Artist  for  the  place.  Chevalier  again  rode  in  fine  form,  land- 
ng  two  winners  and  a  second.  Burlingame,  Glover  and  Jones 
also  piloted  victors. 

Gordius  romped  in  a  winner  in  the  first  race,  and,  by  the 
way,  he  just  left  the  maiden  class,  though  he  has  run  second  a 
number  of  times  in  excellent  company.  Mustesa  got  the 
place  as  easily  as  Gordius  won,  and  Prince  Idle  was  third  in 
a  drive. 

Ernest,  backed  down  from  5  to  1  to  2  to  1,  ran  third  to 
Washoe  and  Kilty  L.  until  reaching  the  homestretch,  where 
Chevalier  sent  him  in  the  dry  path.  He  proved  an  easy  win- 
ner by  two  lenghs,  Kitty  L.  beating  Washoe  for  place  in  a 
drive  by  half  a  length. 

One  of  the  surprises  of  the  day  came  in  the  third  race,  when, 


after  Motto  had  led  into  the  homestretch  by  six  lengths,  Dr. 
Ross,  a  12  to  1  shot,  came  from  sixth  place  and  landed  a  win- 
ner by  a  nose  in  the  last  stride.  Motto,  second,  was  four 
lengths  from  Annie  Buckingham. 

Another  surprise  was  in  store  for  the  race-goers.  The 
lightly-weighted  Cherokee  went  to  the  front  in  the  mile  race 
nearing  the  half,  and  drawing  away  gradually,  led  into  the 
homestretch  by  four  lengths,  and  won  by  six,  Green  Hock 
getting  the  place  and  Currency  the  show.  Boston  Boy,  who 
finished  fourth,  was  a  great  favorite. 

Remus  won  the  last  raceoftheday  by  a  head  from  Artist, 
who  would  have  won  if  Hennessy  kept  at  him  all    the  way 
down  the  homestretch.    Banjo  got  the  show.

Gosling,  at  whose  heels  was  Prince  Idle.  Tornado  came  back 
to  his  field  nearing  the  final  turn, and  Gordius  swung  into  the 
homestretch  half  a  length  in  front  of  Tornado,  who  was  as 
far  from  Mustesa.  Gordius  simply  romped  in  a  winner  by 
three  lengths,  Mustesa  second.eight  lengths  from  Prince  Idle,

TATTERSALLS. 


r 


The  Leading'Sale  Firm  in  America. 


The  system  of  public  sales  originally  inaugurated  by  Tat- 
tersalls  of  London,  nearly  two  centuries  ago,  and  which  since 
that  time  has  been  so  successfully  in  vogue  in  England,  was 
practically  unknown  and  entirely  misunderstood  in  America 
up  to  the  commencement  of  the  decade  that  is  past. 

While  Americans  as  a  class  pride  themselves  upoD  "origi- 
nality of  ideas  "  and  are  somewhat  loth  to  approve  of  any 
enterprise  until  its  merits  are  fully  tested,  yet  it  must  be  ac- 
knowledged that  they  are  ever  ready  tojoin  hands  and  follow 
the  tide  of  public  opinion  and  popular  approval,  especially 
when  the  future  of  any  undertaking  promises  even  the  sem- 
blance of  success. 

It  is  true,  sales  by  aaction  of  blood  stock,  in  fact,  of  horses 
of  all  description,  were  in  vogue  in  this  country  many  years 
ago,  principally  in  the  South  and  West-  These  events  though 
were  conducted  either  at  the  county  seats'adjacent  to  the  sel- 
ler, or  at  the  breeding  establishments,  which  were  very  often 
remote  from  railroad  facilities  and  lacking  in  other  con- 
veniences, which,  if  they  possessed  them,  would  naturally 
serve  to  attract  buyers  from  all  parts  of  the  Union,  thus  creat- 
ing a  competition  which  would  but  subserve  the  true  interests 
of  the  breeder. 

Even  a  novice  in  such  a  flairs  recognized  the  necessity  of  a 
change — breeders  and  owners  throughout  the  country  began 
to  'ook  beyond  their  local  market  for  purchasers  for  the  an- 
nual produce  of  their  establishments,  and  buyers  too,  began 
to  realize  that  they  were  entitled  to  a  stronger  consideration, 
as  far  as  conveniences  were  concerned,  than  had  been  their 
lot  in  the  crude  methods  practiced  in  the  past. 

It  remained  for  Tattersalls  (of  New  York)  limited  (a  firm 
to-^ay,  almost  as  famous  as  the  pareut  house  in  London)  to 
overcome  the  many  difficulties  that  at  urst  seemed  insur- 
mountable. American  capital  was  not  available  nor  could  it 
be  obtained,  because  the  risk  was  thought  to  be  very  great  at 
best,  and  the  business  entirely  misunderstood  by  our  capital- 
ists. At  an  investment  aggregating  near  one  million  dollars, 
Tattersalls  have  established  commodious  sale  marts  in  New 
York,  Lexington,  Ky.,  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  Chicago,  111., and 
although  foreign  capital  has  been  utilized,  it  is  capital  that 
will  bring  more  profit  to  the  American  breeder  than  to  the 
foreign  investor. 

Immediate  profitable  returns  on  the  immense  outlay  was 
hardly  to  be  expected,  yet  fully  convinced  of  an  unqualified 
successful  future  for  the  business  the  necessary  funds  were 
furnished  and  it  is  a  fact  that  it  is  the  only  organization 
making  public  sales  a  business  that  own  a  building  or  have 
one  dollar  invested  in  property  used  for  the  purpose. 

The  general  manager,  Dr.  W.  Grahame  Boss,  is  widely 
known  throughout  nearly  every  country  on  the  globe  where 
the  horse  interest  predominates.  He  has  traveled  extensively, 
not  only  in  this  country,  but  in  South  America,  England, 
New  Zealand,  Australia,  Africa,  etc. — a  gentleman  fully 
alive  to  that  which  will  add  to  the  good  of  the  patrons  of  the 
immense  institution  which  he  represents,  and  ever  ready  to 
serve  its  clients  in  a  straightforward,  honorable,  business  way, 
adhering  at  all  times  to  the  fundamental  principal,  viz.:  a 
strictly  commission  business,  which  can  but  be  acknowledged 
is  conducive  to  the  welfare  of  all  concerned. 

Tattersalls'  various  branches  are  presided  over  by  gentle- 
men of  acknowledged  superiority  in  their  various  depart- 
ments. 

Ml  Horace  Theobald,  who  is  known  to  almost  every  thor- 
oughbred breeder  and  owner  in  America  as  well  as  in  Eng- 
land, has  charge  of  that  special  branch  and  the  great  success 
that  has  attended  this  department  in  the  past  is  proof  con- 
clusive of  his  ability. 

Mr.  Wm.  B.  Fasig,  a  devotee  of  the  light  harness  horse, 
and  whose  name  is  familiar  with  every  lover  of  the  American 
trotter,  is  in  charge  of  that  department  and  through  his  en- 
ergetic methods  has  built  up  for  Tattersalls  a  large  and  lucra- 
tive business. 

Mr.  W.  D.  Grand,  a  late  addition  *o  tbe  staff,  although 
well  known  both  in  the  United  States  and  Canada  as  well  as 
in  England,  has  charge  of  the  saddle  and  harness  horse  de- 
partment of  which  he  is  master  in  all  of  its  details — through 
his  popularity  and  influence  this  special  branch  is  meeting 
with  marked  success. 

The  auctioneer  is  Capt.  P.  C.  Kidd  of  Kentucky,  of  which 
it  can  be  truly  said,  no  man  stands  higher  in  the  profession. 
A  gentleman  by  birth,  possessing  in  a  marked  degree  the 
peculiar  requisites  which  go  to  make  up  a  successful  auction- 
eer. At  all  times  fully  mindful  of  the  interests  of  the  seller, 
yet  he  is  alike  watchful  of  every  point  that  could  pessibly 
add  to  tbe  protection  of  the  buyer. 

That  this,  the  greatest  institution  of  the  kind  in  America, 
is  fully  equipped,  not  only  in  point  of  sale  buildings,  but  in 
its  executive  staff  and  clerical  force  goes  without  saying,  and 
the  past  success  that  has  attended  its  efforts  is  the  strongest 
evidence  of  its  popularity  which  is  annually  increasing. 

Even  in  these  depressed  times  Tattersall's  business  so  far, 
for  1894,  has  been  remarkable,  and  the  important  sales  al- 
ready fixed  justify  us  in  predicting  one  of  the  most  succesfful 
years  of  its  existence. 

So  far  this  season  under  Mr.  Wm.  B.  Fasig's  management 
they  have  disposed  of  at  Cleveland,  Ohio,  and  in  New  York 
over  $80,000  worth  of  trotting  horses  ;  prices  were  satisfac- 
tory in  all  cases,  good  animals  realizing  remunerative  prices. 
The  saddle  and  harness  horse  department,  under  Mr. 
Grand's  management,  taking  all  things  into  consideration, 
shows  phenomenal  results — over  $100,000  worth  of  high-class 
animals  of  this  character  having  been  disposed  of  in  New 
York  alone  since  April  1st. 

The  thoroughbred  sales  opened  at  Lexington  May,  7  and 
8,  where  over  one  hundred  yearlings,  broodmares  and  race 
horses  in  training  were  disposed  of  at  very  remunerative 
prices.  During  the  evening  of  Monday,  May  21,  the  great 
sales  of  thoroughbred  yearlings,  under  the  management  of 
the  company,  will  commence  in  New  York.  On  this  date  the 
yearlings  from  the  McGrathiana  Stud,  Lexington,  Ky.,  will 
b«  disposed  of. 

On  Tuesday  evening.  May  22,  the  yearlings  from  the  Nan- 
lura,  Patmos  and  Stockwood  Studs  will  be  sold  in  addition  to 
those  of  Messrs.  C.  B.  Hawkins,  Hiram  Berry,  George  W. 
Ditchen,  H.  D.  Wood,  Sidney  Bedford  and  Dr.  J.  D.  Neet,  all 
of  Kentucky. 

A  great  event  will  be  that  on  Monday  evening.  May  28, 
when  the  celebrated  Melbourne,  Beaumont  and  Kingston 
yearlings  will  pass  under  the  hammer.  The  [Spendthrift, 
Peylona  and  other  valuable  yearlings  will  be  sold  later  on. 


In  addition  to  the  future  thoroughbred  sales,  the  annual 
speed  sale  of  high-bred  trotters  (for  which  over  two  hundred 
entries  have  been  received)  will  be  held  at  Cleveland,  Ohio, 
May  21  to  26,  while  many  sales  of  high-class  harness  and 
saddle  horses  are  fixed  for  New  York. 

We  can  but  predict  for  Tattersall's  a  great  future — a  repe- 
tition of  its  successes  in  the  past. 


Hidebound   Horses. 


The  Stallion  Championship. 

The  importance  of  the  stallion  racing  champion- 
ship and  the  large  interests  concerned  in  a  meeting 
of  such  horses  as  Directum,  Arion  and  Kremlin  seemed  to 
preclude  the  possibility  of  any  arrangement  for  a  race.  Not 
only  is  it  very  possible,  but  it  is  almost  assured,  and  if  the 
three  horses  are  all  right  this  fall  they  will  meet  in  a  race  in 
Boston. 

Charles  M.  Jewett,  Secretary  of  the  New  England  Breed- 
ers' Association,  is  one  of  the  most  promising  managers  in 
this  country,  having  graduated  under  the  eye  of  so  good  a 
judge  as  the  late  Tom  King.  He  conceived  the  idea  of  a  great 
stallion  race  for  next  fall  and  offered  a  purse  of  $5,000,  with 
a  free  entrance  for  Arion,  Directum  and  Kremlin  as  princi- 
pals. 

Recognizing  the  fact  that  some  new  comer  was  liable  to  be 
a  strong  candidate  for  the  racing  crown,  he  left  it  open  for 
five  horses,  the  remaining  two  to  be  selected  from  the  best 
horses  of  the  year. 

J.  Malcolm  Forbes  has  thejmost  unbounded  faith  in  Arion, 
and  Budd  Doble  is  assured  that  the  Electioneer  horse  is  the 
future  world's  champion.  This  being  the  case,  Arion  will 
start  against  Directum  or  any  other  stallion  on  earth  a  race 
three  in  five  to  harness. 

Joe  Kelly  has  ootified  Mr.  Jewett  that  he  will  be  in  Boston 
with  the  stallion  king  at  the  New  England  Breeders'  meet- 
ing, and'that  Directum  is  ready  to  be  named  now  for  the  race 
in  question. 

William  Russell  Alleirbarsno  horse  with  Kremlin,and  his 
only  objection  was  that  $5,000  seemed  a  small  stake  for  such 
an  event.  The  money  in  such  a  race  is  of  very  little  moment, 
for  the  stupendous  interests  at  stake  make  it  the  most  impor- 
tant event  that  has  ever  been  proposed.  Mr.  Allen  is  a 
lover  of  the  trotter,  and  never  bets  a  cent,  so  that  the  actual 
purse  money  need  be  of  no  moment. — Buffalo  Enquirer. 

A  World  Beater. 


Scarcely  three  years  have  elapsed  since  Boyce  tablets 
entered  the  race  for  favor  with  the  horsemen  of  the  country. 
The  very  many  and  strong  points  of  excellence  at  once  im- 
pressed themselves  upon  the  discriminating  minds  of  the 
best  judges  of  the  valuable  qualities  of  a  liniment  for  leg  and 
body  wash  and  general  purposes,  and  now  as  a  three-year-old 
it  broke  the  world's  record  of  all  ages.  The  friends  and 
users  of  Boyce  Tablet  Liniment  are  to  be  found  in  every 
State  of  the  Union  ;  every  British  Province  on  this  continent 
— in  England,  Australia,  Germany,  Hungary,  Austria  and 
Russia.  The  advantages  of  a  liniment  in  a  dry  form  (requir- 
ing only  the  omnipresent  water  to  put  it  in  shape  for  use)  are 
beyond  computation,  requiring  one  hundredth  the  space  and 
weight  of  a  liquid  liniment  in  transporting,  perfect  freedom 
from  leakage,  breakage,  freezing  and  wasting.  The  ready 
solubility  of  Boyce  Tablets  in  water,  warm  or  cold,  in  a 
moment's  time  enables  the  horsemen  to  prepare  his  liniment 
in  any  quantity,  of  any  strength,  at  any  time,  for  immediate 
use. 

Boyce  Tablets  represent  the  solid  ingredients  of  a  most 
valuable  liquid  liniment  prepared  by  a  combination  of  med- 
icinal agents,  recognized  by  the  veterinary  medical  profession 
to  be  the  most  effective  in  reducing  fever,  strengthening, 
stimulating  and  imparting  elasticity  to  the  muscles  and  ten- 
dons, purifying  and  healing  the  skin  and  rendering  it  soft 
and  pliable  and  the  hair  bright  and  silky. 

It  is  no  longer  necessary  when  on  the  circuit  to  be  encum- 
bered with  such  inconvenient  furniture  as  bottles,  jugs,  cans 
and  demijohns,  nor  to  have  the  clothing,  blankets  and  per- 
sonal effects  stained  and  destroyed  by  leaking  packages  of 
offensive  liniments. 

Little  Chance  Killed. 


The  term  "  hidebouud "  is  used  by  horsemen  to  express 
the  condition  of  horses  when  out  of  sorts,  tucked  up,  with 
their  skin  drawn  down  tightly  over  their  bodies,  the  skin 
harsh  and  dull-looking;  in  other  words,  the  usual  marked 
symptoms  of  a  derangement  of  the  digestive  function  in  gen- 
eral, especially  the  secreting  glands  of  the  stomach  and  intes- 
tines and  the  liver. 

When  these  structures  are  out  of  order,  says  a  veterinarian 
in  Baltimore  Sun,  true  assimilation  cannot  possibly  obtain, 
and  in  a  week  or  so  the  horse  affected  presents  a  "  down-on- 
his-luck  appearance." 

He  may  eat  all  the  feed  put  before  him,  and  the  excretions 
may,  to  the  eye  of  the  stableman,  look  all  right  and  healthy, 
yet  the  tight  skin  exists,  and  it  is  fancied  the  horse  has 
"  bots  "  or  something  else. 

The  fact  is  that  there  is  a  general  systematic  change  going 
on  in  the  animal  system.  Nature  is  preparing  the  constitu- 
tion for  the  coming  summer  weather,  the  old  coat  of  hair  is 
being  given  up  in  exchange  for  that  of  a  finer  grade  suitable 
for  sunny  days.  The  blood  has  to  be  purified  if  this  change 
takes  place  properly  while  the  animal  is  in  domestication, 
i.  e.,  kept  on  artificial  feed  stuffs,  dry  in  character  through- 
out. 

Let  any  one  notice  the  effects  of  grass  on  a  horse  in  this 
condition.  In  a  week  or  ten  days'  time  the  skin  becomes 
loose,  the  hair  begins  to  shed,  the  new  hair  over  the  quarters 
will  begin  to  look  bright  and  the  animal's  spirits  will  also 
improve,  making  quite  another  animal,  all  the  result  of  the 
alterative  effects  of  the  succulent  grass  on  the  blood. 

When  we  know  this  and  cannot  give  the  grass  pasturage  we 
have  to  devise  other  means  to  restore  the  structures  impli- 
cated by  bringing  the  digestive  glands  into  order  that  as- 
similation may  in  turn  purify  the  blood  by  yielding  the  ele- 
ments needed. 

Therefore,  when  grass  is  not  fit,  in  early  spring  time,  bran 
mashes,  carrots  and  soft  hay  should  be  substituted  for  hard, 
dry  feed,  and  a  mild  dose  of  aloes  should  be  prepared  thus : 
Powdered  Barbadoes  aloes,  five  drachms  ;  confection  of  gen- 
tian, two  drachms;  glycerine  sufficient  to  make  a  ball.  To  be 
given  at  night,  followed  by  chilled  drinking  water  for  two 
days,  and  exercise  the  next  morning  to  start  the  operation  of 
the  aloes. 

On  the  third  day  half  an  ounce  of  sublimed  sulphur  and 
one  drachm  of  nitrate  of  potash  can  be  mixed  in  the  mash 
night  and  morning  for  a  week. 

Exercise  regularly,  use  the  horse-brush  on  the  body  every 
morning,  so  as  to  rouse  the  skin  into  activity.  Thus  its  ab- 
sorbent glands  will  resume  their  function  and  the  hide  its 
normal  condition.  It  is  better  to  do  this  than  allow  the  hide- 
bound animal  to  go  on  until  he  gets  into  very  bad  condition 
and  has  to  go  through  a  course  of  medicine  before  his  health 
is  restored.  This  condition  will  stick  to  a  horse  for  months 
when  neglected.  After  the  treatment  suggested,  about  a  week 
at  grass  completes  tbe  cure. 

Thoroughbred  Pacers. 


Philadelphia,  May  12. — At  the  races  at  the  Country 
Club  at  Bala  a  pitiful  accident  occurred  in  a  hurdle  race. 
There  were  but  four  starters,  Little  Chance,  Pasmore,  Oak- 
wood  and  The  Shamrock.  The  horses  were  off  at  the  first 
break,  all  in  a  bunch.  At  the  first  hurdle  Little  Chance  led 
by  a  length,  with  Pasmore  second  and  Oakwood  third. 

Pasmore  stumbled  as  he  went  to  take  the  hurdle  and  threw 
Jockey  Griffin.  Oakwood,  who  was  immediately  back  of  Pas- 
more, stumbled  over  the  latter  and  threw  Hayes  heavily.  The 
remaining  horses  ran  close  together  until  tbe  third  jump  was 
reached,  when  The  Shamrock  fell,  throwing  De  Long.  This 
left  only  Little  Chance  in  the  race.  She  navigated  two  hur- 
dles until  the  second  time  around,  when  she  fell,  breaking  her 
neck. 

In  the  meantime  Mr.  Altemus,  the  owner  of  The  Shamrock, 
and  who  also  owned  Oakwood,  caught  the  horses,  and,  mount- 
ing them,  rode  out  the  race.  The  Shamrock  winning  by  a 
minute  and  a  half.  Jockey  Griffin  was  carried  into  the  club- 
house, and  was  unconscious  for  fifteen  minutes.  He  is  very 
seriouslj  injured.    Hayes,  who  rode  Oakwood,  had  his  collar 

bone  broken.

"  There  seems  to  be  a  general  lack  of  information  about 
thoroughbred  pacers.  No  doubt  many  owners  of  thor- 
oughbreds, if  they  happen  to  have  a  pacer,  hide  the  fact 
if  possible,  nevertheless,  it  is  known  that  there  have  been  a 
number  of  thoroughbred  pacers  I  will  give  you  a  list  with 
breeding  of  a  few,  says  McGinty  in  Western  Resources. 
This  list  first  appeared  in  Turf,  Field  and  Farm  fifteen 
years  ago  and  was  given  with  names  of  references,  men  per- 
fectly familiar  with  the  horses  in  question  and  also  compe- 
tent to  discriminate  between  the  pace,  trot  and  rack.  As 
many  of  the  references  are  dead,  I  will  simply  give  a  list  of 
the  horses  with  breeding.  Rohker,  by  American  Eclipse, 
dam  by  Virginia,  would  pace;  Erautic,  by  Napoleon,  dam 
by  Robin  Redbreast,  a  Carolina  bred  horse,  would  pace  ;  Lit- 
tle Fleo,  by  Grey  Eagle,  first  dam  imported  AcUeon  mare  by 
Action,  Sarah  B.,  by  Planet,  dam  Adelgiza,  by  imported 
Glencoe,  would  pace ;  Bombast,  by  imported  Bonnie  Soot- 
land,  dam  by  Jack  Malone,  would  pace  ;  P.  Lorillard's  Ced- 
ric,  by  imported  Saxon,  out  of  Fanny  Ludlow,  by  imported 
Eclipse  is  another ;  Beppo,  by  Chickamagua,  dam  Jennie 
Lind,  by  Percival,  went  from  a  running  stable  to  the  train- 
ing stable  of  Jim  Eoffwho  is  is  said  gave  him  a  pacing  rec- 
ord down  in  the  twenties.  Telegraph,  by  American  Eclipse, 
dam  by  Haxal's  Moses,  could  pace  a  mile  under  the  saddle 
in  four 'minutes;  Aaron  Pennington,  by  Tipperary,  out  of 
Lucy  Fowler,  by  imported  Albion,  Revolver,  by  Revenue,  out 
of  Baloon,  by  imported  Yorkshire,  Chance,  by  Revolver,  out 
of  Syren,  by  Oliver,  son  of  Wagner,  would  pace;  Bonnets 
O'BIue, the  dam  of  Fashion,  was  a  pacer;  Planter,  by  im- 
ported Bonnie  Scotland,  out  of  Mattie  C,  by  Yorkshire, 
Jonesborough,  by  Lexington,  out  of  Alice  Jones,  by  Glencoe, 
would  pace,  and  also  one  of  his  get.  Besides  the  above  list 
I  know  of  several.  High  Tariff,  a  horse  that  dropped  dead  in 
a  race  a  few  years  ago,  was  a  pacer ;  Stump  the  Dealer,  was  a 
thoroughbred  that  went  all  the  saddle  gaits;  references, 
Iconclast  and  *'  Elgin  Marbles."  I  know  a  mare  by  Aaron 
Pennington,  out  of  a  mare  that  was  claimed  to  be  thorough- 
bred that  went  all  the  saddle  gaits.  I  know  a  son  of  his  out  of 
a  Glendower  mare  that  is  quite  a  racker.  Sons  and  grand- 
children of  his  out  of  running-bred  mares  that  are  not  gaited , 
pace,  rack  and  go  all  gaits." 

Monmouth  Park's  Last  Days. 

New  York,  May  12. — Monmouth  Park,  the  finest  track 
not  only  in  this  country,  but  probably  in  the  world,  will  soon

until  its  660  acres  will  be  sold  under  foreclosure  and  in  all 
probability  be  devoted  to  other  purposes  than  racing.

[May  19, 1894 


Dr.  Rloe  Won  the  Brooklyn  Handicap. 

New  Yohk,  May  15. — A  better  day  could  Dot  have  been 
desired  for  the  opening  of  the  racing  season  in  New  York 
State,  and  the  running  of  the  great  Brooklyn  handicap, 
valued  at  $25,000,  at  the  Gravesend  track  to-day.  The  sun 
roee  with  the  sky  as  clear  as  a  bell,  and  a  warm  breeze  went 
across  the  track.  At  2:30  o'clock  the  horses  named  for  the 
first  race  were  hoisted  on  the  bulletin  board  and  112  book- 
makers, three  more  than  the  best  on  record,  began  chalking 
up  the  odds. 

It  was  then  estimated  by  good  judges  that  at  least  40,000 
people  were  present,  and  many  were  going  home  unable  to 
get  anywhere  near  the  track.  It  was  the  biggest  day  in  the 
history  of  the  Brooklyn  handicap. 

The  Brooklyn  Jockey  Club  must  have  been  an  immenEe 
money-getter,  for  nearly  all  paid  their  admission.  Free 
passes  had  been  reduced  at  least  75  per  cent,  and  the  place 
was  crowded  with  ladies,  not  one  of  whom  got  in  without  pay- 
ing. 

It  was  a  few  minutes  after  5  o'clock  when  the  candidates 
for  the  $25,000  stake  began  to  move  up  into  the  chute  from 
the  paddock.  When  the  horses  were  all  at  the  post  the  spec- 
tators settled  down  for  a  lone  wait,  for  Starter  Rowe  had  not 
been  doing  any  better  thus  far  than  he  did  last  year.  Thirty- 
two  minutes  the  assemblage  waited,  and  then  immediately 
after  a  short  break  Rowe  dropped  his  Hag.  It  swished  through 
the  air  and  the  start  was  made.  And  such  a  start  as  it  was  ! 
Lowlander,  the  winner  of  last  year's  Suburban,  was  standing 
still  and  did  not  get  away  at  all,  while  Clifford,  the  heavily 
backed  favorite,  seemed  to  be  practically  left  at  the  post. 

A  howl  arose  from  the  crowd,  for  they  saw  that  with  such 
a  disadvantage  it  was  an  impossibility  for  the  Western  cham- 
pion to  do  anything  whatever.  Copyright  was  the  6rst  away, 
with  Henry  of  Navarre  second,  Herald  third,  Dr.  Rice  fourth, 
Blitzen  fifth  and  the  others  bunched  as  follows  :  Banquet,  Sir 
Walter,  Comauche,  Ajax,  Bassetlaw  and  Diablo,  while  Clif- 
ford and  Sport  were  almost  standing  still,  although  they  got 
in  motion  immediately  and  started  on  a  stern,  hopeless  chase. 
Down  the  stretch  they  ran,  gathering  speed  with  every 
bound,  and  thundered  past  the  judges'  stand,  a  quarter  of  a 
mile  from  the  post,  all  running  well,  Copyright,  with  his 
mouth  wide  open,  ahead,  in  front  of  Dr.  Rice,  whom  Taral 
had  taken  into  second  place.  Half  a  length  away  was  HeDry 
of  Navarre,  under  an  easy  pull,  with  Herald  aod  the  deposed 
Blitzen  following  close  behind.  Then  there  was  a  bunch  in 
this  order:  Banquet,  Comanche,  Ajax,  Sir  Walter,  Basset- 
law  and  Diablo. 

Twenty  lengths  behind  were  Clifford,  the  pride  of  the 
West,  and  Sport  in  the  dust  kicked  up  by  the  others,  with  no 
chance  of  winning  unless  all  the  leaders  fell.  A  groan  went 
up  from  the  thousands  who  had  bet  on  Clifford,  now  without 
even  a  chance  of  having  a  run  for  their  money.  It  was  dis- 
heartening to  the  owners  of  the  crack  who  had  sent  him  so 
far  for  the  race. 

Around  the  turn  they  flashed  with  very  little  jostling  for 
sosharpaturn  and  so  narrow  a  track,  and  when  the  half- 
mile  mark  was  reached  and  they  were  straightened  out  for 
the  run  through  the  backstretch  Dr.  Rice  was  a  head  in  front 
of  Copyright,  and  thus  far  a  very  few  inches  only  had  separ- 
ated their  noses  as  they  ran  so  closely  that  a  blanket  would 
have  covered  both. 

Two  lengths  behind  was  Henry  of  Navarre,  a  head  in  front 
of  Herald,  and  all  running  easily.  Blitzen  was  still  hanging 
on  to  fifth  place  in  good  style,  while  Doggett  thought  it  was 
about  time  to  bring  Sir  Walter  up,  and  he  was  sixth  at  the 
half-mile.  Comanche  was  still  in  the  seventh  place.  Ban- 
quet had  fallen  back  to  eighth,  and  Ajax  was  beginning  to 
hold  oot  signals  of  distress  in  the  ninth.  Bassetlaw  and 
Diablo  followed,  and  Sport  and  Clifford  were  far  in  the  rear, 
unable  to  gain  an  inch  on  the  flying  field. 
•  They  passed  the  three-quarter  mark  with  Henry  of  Na- 
varre in  the  lead,  a  head  in  front  of  Copyright,  with  Dr.  Rice 
within  striking  distance  and  Taral  handling  him  in  a  mas- 
terly fashion.  Sir  Walter  was  fourth  and  Bassetlaw  was  be- 
coming dangerous,  for  he  had  moved  up  five  pegs  and  looked 
good  for  much  more.  Comanche  was  sixth,  Banquet  seventh 
and  Diablo  eighth.  The  mile  was  covered  by  Henry  of  Na- 
varre in  1:42,  and  he  was  a  head  in  front  of  Dr.  Rice,  who 
had  come  up.  Copyright  had  dropped  back  to  sixth  place. 
Sir  Walter  was  a  length  behind  Dr.  Rice,  and  two  lengths  be- 
hind was  Bassetlaw,  who  was  still  very  much  in  the  race.  The 
others  were  running  in  the  order  they  passed  the  three-quar- 
ter pole,  and  completely  out  of  it. 

Into  the  homestretch  the  horses  flew,  Sir  Walter  and  Bas- 
setlaw getting  whip  and  spur.  Dr.  Rice  began  to  wear  down 
the  gallant  three-year-old,  and  Clayton  was  urging  on  Henry 
of  Navarre  to  his  utmost,  but  his  horse  was  stopping  fast  un- 
der him.  Bassetlaw  was  hanging  on  to  Sir  Walter,  with  Co- 
manche close  behind.  The  fraoticyellsfrom  the  crowd  were 
heard,  and  as  the  watched  ticked  2:07J  Dr.  Rice,  the  cast-off 
from  the  Gideon  &  Daly  stable,  flashed  under  the  wire  a 
length  in  front  of  Henry  of  Navarre,  with  the  great  Sir  Wal- 
ter one  and  one-half  lengths  behind  and  two  lengths  in  front 
of  Bassetlaw.  Comanche  was  fifth  and  the  others  anywhere. 
Hats  went  inte  the  air  and  for  the  second  year  in  succession 
Taral  was  placed  on  the  floral  jockey's  chair  and  carried  off 
by  the  crowd.  It  was  a  great  race  and  well  won.  Lowlander 
was  not  a  factor  in  it,  and  Oliflbrd  and  Sport,  owing  to  the 
faulty  start,  were  not  given  a  chance  to  show  their  work.

Ohant  "Wins  the  Kentucky  Derby. 


Louisville  (Ky.),  May  15. — Over  15,000  people  assem- 
bled at  Churchill  Downs  to  see  the  contest  for  the  twentieth 
renewal  of  the  Kentucky  Derby.  Although  this  race  has 
steadily  depreciated  in  importance  as  a  turf  event  for  several 
years,  the  honor  of  taking  this  event  is  still  keenly  competed 
for  by  the  Kentucky  breeders,  as  it  is  regarded  as  the  highest 
test  for  a  thoroughbred  colt  to  take  up  122  pounds  over  a 
mile  and  a  half  in  racing  time  at  the  beginning  of  the  season 
and  frequently  the  winner  and  many  of  the  participants  are 
broken  down  and  end  their  turf  career  as  a  result  of  the 
preparation  necessary  for  participation  in  the  race. 

The  smart  thunder-shower  at  noon  probably  improved  the 
track,  laying  the  dust  and  leaving  it  in  good  condition,  as  the 
time  made  in  other  events  on  to-day's  card  indicates.  Chant 
was  a  prohibitive  favorite. 

The  horses  got  away  at  the  second  break,  Tom  Elmore 
making  the  best  of  a  running  start  and  showing  a  half-dozen 
lengths  in  the  van  for  the  first  quarter,  when  Pearl  Song  took 
up  the  running  and  showed  the  way  to  the  stand.  Here  Chant 
drew  up  with  the  bunch,  and  was  in  front  for  the  run  up  the 
backstretch.  Running  easily  under  Goodale's  straining  pull,

Speedy  Steppers  at  "Woodland. 


A  representative  of  the  Mail  paid  a  visit  to  the  Fair  grounds 
and  race  track  yesterday  and  interviewed  the  Superintendent, 
drivers  and  trainers  now  quartered  there.  From  them  we 
gleaned  interesting  information  concerning  the  Fair  and  race 
meeting  to  be  held  here  from  August  27  to  September  5next. 

Active  preparations  are  going  on  and  everything  will  be 
in  readiness  long  before  the  time  set  for  the  opening. 

The  track  is  in  superb  condition  and  under  the  manage- 
ment of  the  new  Superintendent,  Mr.  Wm.  King,  the  grounds 
are  kept  in  a  neat  and  clean  condition,  and  all  the  surround- 
ings betoken  care  and  attention. 

There  are  a  great  many  animals  of  all  ages  in  constant 
training,  and  some  of  them  are  simply  wonders. 

First  in  the  long  row  of  stall  is  Mr.  Hogoboom's  string  of 
trotters.  There  are  four  stallions  in  this  string,  the  most 
prominent  of  which  is  Waldstein.  He  is  a  fine  animal  and 
too  well  known  to  need  any  comment  from  the  Mail.  Gold 
Dollar,  a  yearling  by  Waldstein  is  doing  good  work  and  is 
fast  getting  down  to  his  speed.  Look  out  for  him  next  fall  in 
the  stake  race.  Native  Son,  another  beau'.y,  is  also  coming 
fast,  and  promises  to  be  a  source  of  profit  to  his  owner.  Swift 
Bird  and  Remember  Me  are  also  developing  well  and  will 
show  up  in  good  form  at  the  call  of  the  bell. 

Next  is  John  Blue's  large  stable  of  both  pacers  and  trot- 
ters. Here  also  are  some  fine  specimens  of  the  noble  friend 
of  man.  He  has  all  he  and  his  three  attendants  can  do  to 
give  them  their  daily  training,  and  all  are  doing  well.  Par- 
ticular mention  may  be  made  of  Hattie  B.,  Phantom  and  a 
Eacer  belonging  to  Jack  Marshall.  Under  the  experienced 
and  of  Mr.  Blue  these  horses  are  daily  improving  and  are 
reeling  off  eighths  and  quarters  in  grand  style.  Director 
Maid,  the  wonderful  yearling  filly  by  Director,  the  famous 
sire  of  Directum,  has  been  "fired"  and  turned  out  to  grass, 
but  will  be  again  in  training  for  her  race  this  fall  in  a  couple 
of  weeks. 

Mr.  Stephens  has  charge  of  Mr.  Rodman's  flyers,  and  they 
are  showing  up  all  right.  They  will  be  troublesome  ones  in 
their  respective  races  this  fall.  Col.  Fryatt  is  bringing  his 
pets  right  along,  and  says  he  will  be  "in  it"  when  the  time 
comes. 

Harrington  &  Faulkner  have  four  promising  ones,  and  are 
gradually  bringing  them  to  a  state  of  perfection.  Belmont 
Button,  a  three-year-old,  the  pride  of  the  stable,  is  doing 
eighths  to  a  cart  in  good  time,  and  great  things  are  expected 
from  him  at  the  fair  next  September. 

Besides  the  above,  a  number  of  owners  are  at  the  track 
every  morning  with  their  favorites,  and  some  of  them  have 
good  animals  which  will  be  heard  from  at  the  meeting  this 
fall.  Among  these  are  John  Rupley's  McGinty,  John  Hol- 
Hngsworth's  Tukeyo,  both  of  them  good  property,  and  doing 
fine  work  in  competent  hands.  N.  M.  Weaver,  Pete  Fitzger- 
ald and  Alvis  Hunt  are  all  working  their  steeds,  and  they  are 
fully  coming  up  to  the  expectations  of  their  owners. 

R.  H.  Newton  is  getting  honest  Tom  Ryder  in  shape  for 
the  long  campaign  before  him  and  he  is  leaning  to  his  work 
better  than  ever  before.  After  a  thorough  warming  up  yes- 
terday, he  was  given  a  fast  half  and  came  down  the  straight 
and  under  the  wire  like  a  whirlwind. 

Most  of  the  above  horses  are  entered  in  their  races  for  the 
season,  and  in  the  stakes  to  be  contested  for  at  the  fair  this 
fall.  The  Secretary  of  the  Agricultural  Association  is  con- 
stantly in  receipt  of  entries  from  abroad  for  the  numerous 
races  to  be  held  at  the  meeting  in  this  city  from  August  27  to 
September  5,  and  the  fair  and  speed  contests  are  now  an  as- 
sured success. 

The  Woodland  track  is  one  of  the  fastest  and  best  in  the 
State,  and  horsemen  from  ail  over  the  State  are  taking  advan- 
tage of  the  liberal  purses  offered  and  will  be  here  with  some 
of  the  fastest  horses  to  be  found  in  the  State  when  the  bell 
taps  for  the  start. — Mail. 

National    Trotting   Association. 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman— I  am  in  receipt  of 

the  following  resolution  passed  by  the  Board  of  Review  of 

the  National  Trotting  Association  at  Chicago,  at  their  last 

meeting : 

Chicago,  May  11, 1894. 
N.  T.  Smith,  San  Francisco— 

"  To  the  Pacific  District  Board  is  hereby  delegated  authority  to  try 
all  cases  arising  in  said  district,  subject  to  the  right  of  any  party  to 
appeal  from  its  judgments  to  this  Board.  Associate  members  in  said 
district  are  required  to  report  all  fines,  suspensions  or  other  penalties 
imposed  by  them  to  the  chairman  or  secretary  of  said  Board,  for  im- 
mediate notification  to  all  other  members  in  taid  district,  and  to  the 
secretary  of  this  association.  Said  Board  may  meet  at  will  and  trans- 
act any  business  within  the  scope  of  its  authority,  after  due  notice  to 
parties  directly  interested  in  its  proceedings." 

"Signed  "       M.  M.  Moese,  Sec'y- 

This  action  by  the  National  Trotting  Association  estab- 
lishes on  the  Pacific  Coast  a  department  with  full  and  com- 
plete authority  to  try  and  decide  all  cases,  with  the  right  of 
an  appeal  to  a  Superior  Court  of  an  established  reputation 
and  national  character,  removed  from  local  influence  or  sec- 
tional prejudice. 

With  this  concession  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  there  can  be  no 
good  reason  for  the  existence  of  the  Occidental  Trotting  As- 
sociation, as  all  business  could  be  transacted  as  expeditiously 
by  the  District  Board  as  by  the  proposed  new  association. 

The  members  of  a  national  or  central  association  will  have 
the  protection  and  support  of  an  organization  of  long  stand- 
ing and  established  reputation,  and  will  be  in  harmony  with 
the  trotting  and  breeding  interests  of  the  whole  country,  the 
value  of  which  cannot  be  overestimated  by  those  who  are 
raising  horses,  either  for  the  market  or  racing  purposes. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  district  members  of  the  Paci6c 
Coast  will  cordially  give  this  action  their  endorsement  and 
support,  thereby  promoting  that  unity  which  is  necessary  to 
strength  and  success.     Yours  truly,  N.  T.  Smith. 


A  New  Racing  Association. 


Trotting  in  the  Antipodes. 


The  trotting  interest  of  Australia  are  far  from  dead.  We 
know  of  several  horses  that  are  going  down  that  way.  The 
house  of  J.  O'Kane  has  just  received  an  extensive  order  for 
trotting  boots  ;  these  good  are  ordered  to  be  of  the  finest  work- 
manship, and  show  conclusively  the  high  estimation  in  which 
California  horse  goods  are  held. 


Last  Tuesday  night  a  well-attended  meeting  was  held  in  this 
office  of  owners,  breeders  and  trainers  of  thoroughbreds.  The 
object  was  the  discussion  of  the  formation  of  a  racing  associa- 
tion, which  will  give  meetings  in  the  principal  cities  of  Cali- 
fornia duriog  the  next  two  or  three  months.  Wilber  Field 
Smith,  of  Sacramento,  was  called  to  the  chair  and  George 
Kelley  acted  as  secretary  of  the  meeting.  Suggestions  were 
declared  to  be  in  order  by  the  President,  and  remarks  were 
made  on  the  outlook  for  the  new  association  by  James  Neil, 
H.  D.  Brown,  H.  Forsland  and  R.  D.  Ledgett.  On  motion  a 
communication  from  Ralph  H.  Tozer  suggesting  certain  plans 
was  read  by  the  Secretary, 

ft  was  decided  that  membership  in  the  association  be  limit- 
ed to  breeders,  trainers  and  owners  of  thoroughbreds.  Tem- 
porary Chairman  Smith  appointed  as  a  Committee  on  By- 
Laws  and  Constitution,  and  to  solicit  membership,  E.  J.  Ap- 
pleby, Thomas  Owens,  H.  Forsland,  C.  A.  Brown  and  Charles 
Kerr,  and  they  are  to  formulate  rules  to  be  presented  at  next 
Monday  night's  meeting,  when  a  permanent  organization  is 
to  be  effected.  At  that  time  a  President,  five  Directors  and 
Secretary  are  to  be  chosen .  The  membership  roll  was  de- 
clared open,  and  twenty-six  names  were  signed,  as  follows, 
each  to  pay  an  initiation  fee  of  $25  to  start  the  organization 
well  financially:  H.  D.  Brown,  Charles  A.  Brown,  Charles 
Kerr,  E.  J.  Appleby,  Orville  Appleby,  W.  L.  Appleby,  J.  R. 
Eoss,H.  Forsland,  J.  W.  Greer,  D.  R.  Dickey,  W.  Fisher, 
R.  D.  Ledgett,  C.  V.  Tupper,  Bertrandias  &  Stipe,  James 
Neil,  O.  F.  Johnson,  M.  J.  Kelly,  Owen  Bros.,  S.  D.  Meri- 
wether, P.  Weber,  Wilber  F.  Smith,  Ed,  Savage,  William 
Dick,  J.  H.  Miller,  F.  Menchaca  and  F.  Shortell.  The  com- 
mittee to  solicit  new  members  will  be  armed  to-day  with  a 
list  of  those  that  joined  last  night,  and  it  is  expected  that  be- 
tween eighty  ahd  one  hundred  members  will  be  secured  at 
Bay  District  track  alone. 

If  last  night's  meeting  is  any  indication  of  the  interest  felt 
by  California  horsemen  in  racing,  the  new  organization  is 
certain  to  be  a  success.  The  question  of  what  cities  will  com- 
pose the  circuit  will  come  up  at  next  Monday  night's  meet- 
ing, but  as  Los  Angeles  is  likely  to  be  the  most  important  one 
on  it,  and  there  has  been  no  racing  in  the  sport-loving  City 
of  Angels  for  some  time,  it  would  seem  to  us  the  best  place  to 
hold  the  initial  meeting,  for  excellent  support  is  certain  to  be 
accorded  such  a  one  as  our  horsemen  can  give.  The 
members  will  control  fully  450  horses.  The  horsemen  will 
certainly  work  hard  for  success,  all  being  financially  inter- 
ested in  the  movement- 
San  Jose  Driving  Club. 


At  the  meeting  of  the  Ladies'  and  Gentlemen's  Driving 
and  Riding  Club  yesterday  afternoon  there  were  present 
President  H,  A.  Spencer,  J.  Babcock,  F.  M.  Burkholder,  H. 
O.  Hickox,  George  W.  Sill,  F.  J.  Brandon,  C.  F.  Bunch,  H. 
A.  Upton,  John  Gallegos,  Jr.,  I.  A.  Hatch,  S.  G.  Benson,  C. 
A.  Lynde,  W.  W.  Collins, George  D'Ablaing,  A.  E.  Morrison, 
M.  C.  Stralm,  R.  Webb,  H.  G.  Hickox,  R.  D.  Fox,  G.  W. 
Glendenning,  H.  G.  Cox,  and  several  who  came  in  while  the 
meeting  was  in  progress.  The  action  of  the  Directors  in  fix- 
ing May  30th  at  the  date  of  the  next  matinee  was  unani- 
mously approved. 

After  a  full  discussion  of  the  question  of  classification,  it 
was  decided  to  make  the  following  recommendations  to  the 
Board  of  Directors  to  apply  to  the  next  matinee :  That  en- 
tries be  advertised  for  a  free-for-all  (horses  owned  by  mem- 
bers), a  2-40-ciass  and  3-minute  class,  both  pacers  and  trotters 
to  be  eligible  in  each  ;  heals  to  be  best  two  in  three  ;  all  en- 
tries to  be  sealed  and  in  the  hands  of  the  Secretary  by  6  p.  m. 
of  Saturday,  May  19th. 

The  president  was  requested  to  appoint  a  committee  of 
three,  who  shall  be  empowered  to  bar  any  animal  known  to 
be  faster  than  the  class  in  which  it  is  entered. 

With  a  view  to  classification  of  horses  for  future  events, 
the  president  was  requested  to  appoint  a  committee  of  three 
to  take  and  record  the  time  made  by  beaten  horses. 

It  was  recommended  that  any  member  starting  to  drive  a 
race  shall  continue  to  the  end  unless  disabled  or  excused  by 
the  judges  for  other  good  cause;  also,  that  in  the  free  for-all 
contest  any  member  may  drive,  whether  amateur  or  profes- 
sional. 

This  concluded  the  members'  meeting  and  the  directors 
then  convened,  all  responding  to  their  names  except  Dr.  D.  F. 
McGraw  and  R.  M.  Higgins- 

Under  suspension  of  the  rules  Bert  Andrews,  Ben  Davis 
and  C.  B.  Coffin  were  elected  members  of  the  club. 

On  motion  the  recommendations  of  the  club  were  adopted 
as  a  whole. 

President  Spencer  appointed  H.  O.  Hickox,  Charles  A. 
Lynde  and  M.  C.  Schalm  as  the  committee  to  pass  upon  the 
eligibility  of  horses  for  the  classes  for  which  they  are  entered. 

It  was  stated  that  during  the  matinee  several  horses  not 
entered  in  the  contests  would  he  driven  for  records,  and  in 
view  of  that  fact  it  was  agreed  that  the  President  of  the  Agri- 
cultural Society  should  be  requested  to  appoint  the  judges 
and  timers. 

Directors  Sill  and  Hickox  were  appointed  a  Committee  on 
Advertising  and  Printing.  —Mercury,  May  12. 

Poolselling  Held   to    Be   Legal. 


New  York,  May  12. — Corporation  Counsel  McDonald  of

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BT 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Our  Endorser. — The  Kentucky  Stock  Farm,  as  will  be 
learned  from  the  appended  quotation,  favors  the  announce- 
ment of  the  exact  time  made  in  races.  Why  there  should  be 
any  objection  can  only  be  explained  on  the  principle  that 
trotting  affairs  have  been  conducted  for  so  long  a  time  in  one 
deeply  worn  rut  that  any  innovation  is  considered  so  hetere- 
dor  as  to  warrant  martyrdom,  and  that  one  of  the  seventeen 
deadly  sins  against  trotting  ethics  is  the  u-e  of  any  fractions 
of  a  second  other  than  halves  and  quarters.  V  queer  thing 
is  the  ethics  of  racing  and  trotting,  especially  that  which 
appears  to  be  the  cod i  of  a  majority  of  trotting  folk.  Cur- 
tailing the  number  of  heats  is  a  decided  breach  of  the  law;  to 
insist  that  heats  shall  not  be  pulled,  to  propose  a  penalty  for 
those  who  make  a  sham  of  one  part  of  a  race  an  evidence  of 
guilty  intention  which  must  be  denounced. 

Crucify  him!  roast  him  over  CDals  hotter  than  the  bed  on 
which  Montezuma  reposed,  ostracise  the  wretch  who  would 
infringe  on  the  diviue  right  of  "  laying-up,"  is  howled  from 
"  Maine  to  Georgia,"  from  the  Penobscot  to  the  pyramids, 
from  Sheol  to  the  meal  which  breaks  the  matutinal  fast. 
Many  of  the  expounders  of  trotting-horse  lore  argue  that  it  is 
only  the  most  arrant  sucker  who  will  make  an  effort  to  go 
straight  and  act  honestly  from  start  to  finish  of  a  rase.  An- 
other class  would  remedy  the  evil  by  forbidding  the  sale  of 
pools  or  betting  on  heats.  An  arrant  delusion,  for  while  it 
is  true  that  by  collusion  with  the  judges,  who  are  so  derelict 
as  to  allow  one  man  to  lay-up  while  others  strive,  the  cute 
fellow  may  obtain  an  advantage,  is  it  a  fair  advantage?  And 
if  a  driver  tells  one  man  to  bet  that  he  will  win  the  beat,  and 
assures  another  that  he  will  lose,  the  betting  will  be  done 
(provided  suckers  are  found  who  will  bet  on  the  word  of  a 
layer-up,  and  it  ia  claimed  that  this  kind  of  fish  run  at  all  sea- 
sons of  the  year),  irrespective  of  rule. 

But  granting  that  betting'on  heats  can  be  prohibited,  and 
the  prohibition  enforced,  what  recourse  has  the  non-betting 
portion  of  the  spectators?  They  are  just  as  worth}  of  pro- 
tection as  the  bettors,  and  when  they  have  paid  "  their  money 
at  the  gate,"  they  are  entitled  to  receive  what  the  rules 
promise — a  contest  between  the  horses  in  every  heat — in  place 
of  a  series  of  sham  battles.     Disgust,  in  lieu  of  pleasure. 

But  once  the  consideration  of  the  ethics  of  trotting  is  en- 
tered upon,  there  is  a  tangle  which, were  Cicero  brought  back 
to  this  world,  he  would  be  unable  to  untwist,  and  a  greater 
than  he,  or  Bacon,  or  any  others  of  the  ancient  sages,  could 
not  reconcile  with  any  other  system  of  morality.  It  would 
seem,  however,  that  when  accuracy  and  error  were  to  be  the 
choice,  that  there  could  be  no  chance  for  contention  which 
should  be  adopted. 

Let  me  present  an  illustration  which  is  no  very  different 
from  changing  the  record  from  fifths  to  quarters,  when  all 
the  official  watches  are  graded  on  the  decimal  formula. 

A  certain  line  of  experiments  has  been  conducted  with 
time  measures  which  marked  quarter  seconds.  All  of  the 
recorded  trials  were  thus  described  and  the  entries  in  the 
books  invariably  in  seconds  and  quarters.  An  improved 
chronograph  is  secured,  and  one  of  the  improvements  is  a 
nicer  mechanism  which  is  obtained  through  the  graduation 
of  the  circle  being  in  fifths.  The  professor  in  charge  starts 
and  stops  the  machinery.  The  time  taken  may  be  that  of  the 
transit  of  a  planet  across  the'disc  of  the  moon,  or  the  flight  of 
a  cannon  ball  from  muzzle  to  target.  He  announces  the  time 
for  his  assistant  to  put  in  the  book,  and  future  reference 
shows  that  in  place  of  the  true  time  it  has  been  changed.  He 
summons  his  subordinate  and  commands  an  explanation,  and 
the  only  reply  is  that  the  change  was  made  to  harmonize  with 
previous  records. 

Not  exactly  analogous  as  the  change  from  a  fifth  to  a  quar- 
ter, or  three-fifths  to  three-quarters,  would  be  serious  in  a 
calculation  in  astronomy  or  gunnery,  and  of  little  conse- 
quence in  horse-trotting.  And  yet  when  there  is  such 
a  wonderful  anxiety  to  "  protect  the  bettors,"  it  would  be 
well  to  guard  against  manifest  injustice.  Let  us  suppose  that 
a  big  purse  is  given,  the  condition  being  that  Directum's  rec- 
ord be  beaten.  There  is  big  betting  on  the  same  point,  viz., 
that  the  horse  shall  make  the  mile  in  less  time  than  2:05}. 
It  is  done  in  2:05V.  That  is  five-hundreds  of  a  second  faster, 
equivalent  to  25J  inches.  Were  one  horse  to  beat  another 
that  far  and  the  judges  announce  it  a  dead  heat,  it  would  be 
just  as  fair  as  to  call  the  fifth  a  quarter. 

Before  commenting  upon  the  big  dial  to  which  the  Stock 
Farm  calls  attention,  let  me  have  a  word  to  say  about  protect-  j 
ing  the  bettors.     Had  I  the  power  to  amend  the  rules,  betting  I 
would  be  ignored  ;  that  is,  all  questions  in  regard  to  dectar-  [ 
ing  bets  off  would  not   be  considered.     Protection  so   far  [ 
afforded  that  every  man  who"  pulled"  a  race,  who  committed  , 
■a  fraud  of  any  kind  in  connection  with  racing,  should  be  ] 
expelled,  and  when  clearly  proven  to  be  guilty  of  fraudu-  j 
lently  losing  a  race  that  he  could  have  won,  put   it  beyond 
the   power  of  any  man   or  any  Board   to  reinstate  him  fur 
all  time,  no  that  he  could  fully  realize  the  force  of  the  inpcrip-  ! 
tion  :  "  He  who  enters  here  leaves  hope  behind." 

The  big  dial  which  will  show  the  time  to  everyone  on  the  ! 
track  is  one  of  those  improvements  which  should  meet  with  | 
universal  favor.     It  has  been  in  use  on  at   least  two    Austra-  | 
Han    courses   for  many  years.     The  only    objection    is    the 
expense,  and  that  need  not  be  beyond   the  reach  of  a  large 
majority  of  the  trotting  associations  of  this  OOHtry,     Eddie  | 
Sachs,  of  San   Franc'iHcn,  has — *n  \  have  been  informed — 
secured  a  patent  on  an  electrical  timer  which  is  highly  com-  j 
mended  by  those  who  have  Men  it  in  operation.     Bui  now  : 
that   an   efficient,  accurate,  split-second    timer   is  sold   for  ' 
twenty  dollars,  one  that  i*  large  enough  to  cirry  bands  across  ! 
a  dial  that  can  he  read  from  ■  furlong  away  should  not  be  ' 
very  co«tly,  and  toeasUda  it  ■  lube  of  two  in.  lies  in  diameter  ' 
be  sufficient.    A  simple  amngetneoti  whereby  the  dial  could 
be  turned  around,  would  give  -pectHtors  in  any  part  of  the 
ground  or  stand-  ■  Bight  of  the  lime,  aod   one  operator  in 
place  of  three  official  timer*.     Fly  Diet  rtilil   minute  record,  ' 
the  same  as  in  the  low-priced  chrooographs,  does  not  involve 
complex    machinery,  and  there  in  Utile  donbl  that  if  orders  ! 
for  Severn    were  sent  at  the  same  Line  to  I  manufacturer  of  i 
timers  thai  i  comparatively  low  figure  would  be  secured.     If  , 
Mr.  Sachs   has  arranged    for   manufacturing  his    patented  | 


machine,  it  may  be  that  the  price  of  that  will  come  within 
the  reach  of  trotting  associations  that  offer  as  small  an  amount 
as  $5,000  per  year  in  premiums. 

As  stated  iu  the  Stock  Farm,  with  the  large  dial  in  plain 
view  of  the  spectators  there  would  be  more  confidence  felt 
that  the  time  announced  was  correct.  Whether  the  hand  or 
electricity  starts  and  stops  the  hands,  it  will  be  easy  to  dis- 
cover if  that  is  done  at  the  proper  time. 

TIMING  TROTTERS. 
Mr.  Joseph  Cairn  Simpson  deprecates  the  practice  of  limiting  the 
tractions  ot  seconds  in  marking  horses,  to  quarters.  He  contends 
that  when  the  watch  registers  a  more  mlnuUi  traction  there  is  no 
good  reason  why  it  should  not  he  given.  There  seems  to  be  no  good 
answer  to  Mr.  Simpson's  contention.  One  horse  may  easily  beat  an- 
other in  a  race  by  a  smaller  fraction  than  a  quarter.  We  hear  occa- 
sionally of  a  horse  being  beaten  bv  an  "eye-lash"  or  a  "  nose."  Ot 
course  the  former  term  is  metaphorical,  but  the  latter  is  frequently 
applied  with  absolute  truth,  indeed  so  close  is  the  contest  at  some 
times  that  it  takes  the  very  nicest  discrimination  on  the  part  of  the 
judges  placed  immediately  over  the  wire  to  tell  which  isthe  van- 
quished. Of  two  horses  equally  well  ridden  and  in  equal  condition, 
the  one  that  can  beat  the  other  by  ever  so  small  a  distance  is  just 
that  much  a  better  horse.  There  is  no  reason  why  he  should  not  have 
credit  for  it,  and  as  watches  (frequently,  if  not  always)  note  Hie  fifths 
as  well  as  the  quarters,  why  should  not  fifths  be  given  when  the 
watch  stops  at  that  fraction. 

We  observe  that  at  the  Detroit  track  this  year  the  time  is  to  be 
publicly  kepi  bv  a  large  clock  arranged  with  toe  dial  plate  in  full 
view  of  the  spectators.  This,  if  it  proves  to  be  practicable,  and  we 
see  no  reason  why  it  should  not,  will  bean  excellent  innovation. 
Machinery  could  certainly  be  attached  so  as  to  record  the  truth  with- 
out any  of  the  deviations  which  are  sometimes  due  to  the  inaccur- 
acv  ol  timers  and  the  variations  in  watches.  Under  such  an  arrange- 
ment an  affair  like  that  charged  in  the  SUmboul  performance 
against  time  would  be  impossible,  and  the  aceomni  "kiting  disposi- 
tion which  timers  have  sometimes  shown  to  record  the  time  as 
greateror  lessthan  tbatactually  made,  would  be  fruitless.  Every 
device  which  diminishes  the  chances  of  committing  frauds  should 
be  welcomed.  Trotting  interests  have  suffered  onnch  from  such 
causes  in  the  past,  and,  as  the  millennium  has  not  yet  arrived,  are 
liable  to  suffer  in  the  future.  We  believe  that  it  is  a  Dart  of  the  De- 
troit plan  to  drop  the  distance  flag  by  electricity. 

Much  more  difficult  things  than  these  are  now  accomplished  by 
machinery,  and  there  is  no  good  reason  that  we  know  of  why  timing 
horses  cannot  be  done  with  greater  precision  by  machinery  than  by 
the  ordinary  process,  though  we  believe  the  Detroit  plan  contem- 
plates starling  and  stopping  the  clock  by  hand.  There  is  room  here 
for  the  exercise  of  a  little  inventive  genius.  Should  an  Edison,  lor 
example,  torn  his  attention  to  the  subject,  some  very  simple  appa- 
ratus might  easily  be  devised  by  which  horses  could  be  timed  with 
infallible  accuracy. 

In  the  meantime,  however,  it  cannot  be  disputed  that  the  method 
proposed  to  be  inaugurated  at  Detroit  shall  be  an  advance  move- 
ment. The  perfect  publicity  of  the  timing  will  be  a  check  upon 
anything  like  a  lraudulent  effort  to  give  false  time,  and  will  remove 
the  feature  of  uncertaintv  that  attaches  to  many  records,  owing  to 
the  discrepancy  between  timers  themselves  and  timers  and  spectators. 
It  is  now  a  quite  common  thing  to  hear  horsemen  say  that  they 
timed  a  particular  horse  in  a  particular  race  aud  made  the  time  dif- 
ferent from  that  hangout  in  the  stand.  We  recall  au  instance  of  a 
record  made  by  a  very  distinguished  performer  many  years  ago,  in 
which  good  horsemen  standing  immediately  under  the  wire  caught 
the  time  one-half  or  three-quarters  of  a  second  slower  than  the  offi- 
cial timers,  and  although  the  record  has  always  stood  unchallenged 
aud  is  very  likelv  to  have  been  correct,  still  there  have  been,  and 
probably  alwavs  will  be,  lingering  doubts  about  it  in  many  minds. 
Timing  by  machinery  would  preclude  the  possibility  of  such  doubts. 
I  am  much  pleased  that  the  Kentucky  Stock  Farm  has 
taken  the  position  indicated  by  the  article  quoted.  "  Timing  ! 
trotters  "  is  not  so  trivial  a  subject  as  it  may  appear  to  many 
of  oar  own  folks,  and  its  claimed  importance  is  incomprehen- 
sible to  a  majority  of  foreign  people,  however  familiar  with  ' 
racing  affairs.  When  2:00  is  "hnogout"  on  any  track  with-  i 
in  the  boundaries  of  this  big  country,  from  hamlet  and  cross- 
road,  wherever  there  is  telegraph  or  telephone  to  the  largest 
cities,  there  will  be  cheering  and  congratulations  over  the 
success  of  the  American  trotter.  Witk  every  attempt  to  j 
diminish  the  present  records,  race  and  time,  when  there 
are  fair  probabilities  of  success,  there  will  be  anxiety  to 
learn  the  result. 

With  an  instrument  which  will  be  beyond  suspicion,  with 
a  certainty  that  it  cannot  be  manipulated  so  as  to  give  a 
false  report,  there  will  be  confidence  and  the  receipt  of  the 
telegram  bringing  the  intelligence  will  convey  assurance  of 
the  fairness  of  the  proceedings.  When  that  machine  shows 
that  2:05  1-5  has  been  made  in  a  race,  Directum's  cham- 
pionship will  revert  to  the  horse  which  has  gained  the 
mark.  Under  the  present  system,  with  all  the  official  watches  j 
marking  fifths,  all  those  agreeing  in  the  time,  the  announce- 
ment would  be  2:05}.  Joint  occupancy  of  the  throne  when 
by  right  of  conquest  it  was  the  property  of  one. 

"lam  also  gratified  that  on  many  issues  the  Kentucky 
Stock  Farm  is  in  accord  with  my  views.  "Iconoclast"  and 
I  differ  on  the  question  in  regard  to  the  value  of  "fresh  in- 
fusions of  racing  blood  in  fast  trotters,"  without  being  so  far 
apart  as  many  imagine.  In  the  discussions  on  that  he  has 
shown  that  as  a  collaborates  he  would  be  of  great  value, 
"  one  blast  upon  his  bugle  horn  were  worth  a  thousand  men," 
and  that  was  made  so  apparent  a  short  time  ago,  that  at  first 
I  was  a  good  deal  mortified  that  he  had  got  in  the  way  of  , 
the  inevitable  discomfiture  of  some  of  the  advocates  of  his 
side  of  the  question. 

"  No  use  of  further  argument  "  chimed  one  bell;  "an  ob- 
solete issue"  responds  another,  and  that  when  the  champion  , 
of  champions  was   from  a  mare  whose  sire  had   thirty-one  ; 
parts  in   thirty-two  of  known   thoroughbred  blood,  and  her  ; 
dam  one  in  four,  without  taking  other  very  probable  lines  of 
the  same  blood  into  consideration.     Plenty   more  who  had 
held  championships  still  closer  to  racing  progenitors,  and  a 
body  guard   of  goodly  numbers.      Had  the  commander  in-  j 
chief  of  the  opposing  forces  acquiesced    in  the  opinion,  and 
expressed  his  belief  to  the  same  effect,  a  decisive  victory  would 
have  been  gained,  a  capitulation  which  could  not  be  muddled 
by  any  sort  of  argument.

Excited.— The  Eastern  papers  are  full  of  the  match  made 
between  Nightingale  and  Greenlander,  heats  of  two  miles,  to 
be  trotted  at  the  August  meeting  at  Buffalo.  That  longer 
races  than  the  conventional  3  in  5  will  be  appreciated  by  the 
public  is  admitted  on  all  hands,  and  why  managers  of  trot- 
ting meetings  should  be  so  loth  to  offer  purses  for  them  is  not 
readily  understood  by  people  who  are  ou  the  outside.  "  Bet- 
ting not  so  good,  more  pools  sold  on  a  3  in  5  than  2  in  3,  or 
on  dashes  of  whatever  distance,"  are  the  answers  to  the 
query. 

There  are  other  reasons  ;  fewer  entries,  and  when  entry 
fees  are  reduced  to  half  the  former  rate,  or  less,  that  is  an  im- 
portant consideration.  That  longer  races  are  more  attractive 
to  the  public  is  beyond  question,  and  when  attendance  at  trot- 
ting meetings  iB  large  enough  to  dispense  with  so  much  re- 
liance on  " privileges  "  that  preference  can  be  provided  for. 
The  shrinkage  in  the  receipts  for  entrance  is  due  to  the  re- 
luctance of  owners  and  trainera  to  engage  in  races  they  have 
not  been  accustomed  to,  and  there  is  a  feeling  that  long  races 
increase  the  liability  to  injuries,  and  a  greater  strain  on  the  , 
horses.  This  may  be  a  wrong  impression,  but  so  long  as  it 
prevails  it  is  detrimental,  and  cannot  be  overcome   until   it  . 


has  been  shown  to  the  contrary.  By  far  the  greatest  diffi- 
culty to  overcome  is,  that  the  3  in  5  rut  has  been  worn  so 
deeply  in  the  past  thirty-five  years  that  the  wheels  drop  back 
on  encountering  the  slightest  impediment.  Thus  a  paucity  of 
subscribers,  a  reduction  of  per  centageon  pools,  is  seen  at  a 
glance,  increased  gate  receipts  ascribed  to  some  other  cause. 
But  now-a-days  when  time  classification  has  little  significance, 
when  compared  with  the  olden  times,  when  the  slowest  class 
ou  the  programme  may  result  in  a  faster  race  than  one  which 
is  only  a  few  removes  from  the  free-for-all,  there  is  a  stronger 
necessity  for  changing  the  play. 

I  was  greatlv  in  hopes  that  the  innovations  introduced  at 
the  meetings  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  in  1892  would  be  sus- 
tained, and  still  believe  that  if  the  association  had  shown 
more  nerve  and  held  on  to  some  of  them  the  result  would 
have  been  beneficial.  The  time  is  sure  to  come  when  very 
many  of  them  will  be  adopted,  and  then  there  will  bea  little 
satisfaction  in  claiming  priority  of  title  if  that  has  to  be  ac- 
companied with  the  admission  that  the  "prospect"  was 
abandoned  before  there  was  even  a  partial  exploration. 

Back  in  the  old  rut,  sank  to  the  hubs.  With  the  excep- 
tion of  yearling  and  two-year-old,  3  in  5  all  the  way  throueh; 
forty  or  more  acts  without  a  change  of  scene,  without  a  re- 
striction; ding-dong;  "  you  go  for  this  one  and  f  the  next, 
five  chances  for  strategy,  the  cutest  will  win."  But  while 
censuring  a  trifle,  mildly  castigating  for  staying  in  the  course 
which  all  the  steamers,  ships,  barks,  schooners  and  yawls 
crowd  from  port  to  port,  let  it  not  be  forgotten  that  the  P.  C. 
T.  H.  B.  A.  has  set  the  example  of  big  purses  and  small  en- 
trance, aud  right  liberal  has  been  the  response  on  the  part  of 
other  associations.  Never  in  the  history  of  light  harness 
racing  on  this  side  of  the  continent  has  one-half  the  money 
been  hung  up  in  one  year  as  will  be  in  sight  when  the  rest 
of  the  programmes  are  issued.  Capacity  will  ensure  a  boun- 
tiful return  of  dollars,  and  it  is  eafe  to  assert  that  if  latent 
capacity  is  slumbering  in  any  out-of-the  way  nook  or  corner 
it  will  be  brought  to  eight.  Hoofs  are  clattering  and  wheels 
humming  on  every  track,  with  one  exception,  from  San  Die- 
go to  Sitka,  between  the  blue  Pacific  and  the  rock-crowned 
summit  of  the  backbone  of  North  America.  The  refrain  is 
taken  up  on  the  other  side  of  the  Rockies,  and  it  has  swelled 
into  an  exulting  chorus  prophetic  of  the  good  times  which 
are  in  store  for  the  working  division  of  light  harness  horses. 
The  wail  of  sorrow,  the  funeral  dirge,  the 
lugubrious  visage  and  despondent  heart  have  given  way  to 
cheery  carols,  triumphal  songs  of  gladness  and  glowing  hopes. 
A*  first  there  was  demoralization  when  the  gilt-edged  dudes 
fell  from  their  high  estate.  Whenever  so  many  strains  of 
aristocratic  blood  failed  to  return  the  prices  which  ruled  be- 
fore the  era  of  depression  it  was  held  that  the  day  of  the 
American  trotter  had  closed  in  gloom  with  small  hope  of  a 
bright  sunrise  for  a  long  time  to  come.  The  walls  were  cov- 
ered with  pictures,  not  an  open  space  left,  and  the  artist  could 
not  hustle  a  single  "  pot-boiler "  out  of  his  over-crowded 
studio.  Benches  in  the  workshop,  however,  for  real  mechan- 
ics are  still  obtainable,  and  one  who  has  a  fair  command  of 
his  skill  as  an  artizan  is  of  a  high  caste  there  are  good  pros- 
pects for  remuneration.  And  this  with  all  the  old-time  ruts 
for  the  wheels  to  run  in.  The  old  Concord  coach,  picturesque 
though  it  may  be,  is  hardly  up  to  the  requirements  of  the 
present  day,  and  a  roadway  of  earth  and  stone,  capital  as  it  is, 
is  not  so  favorable  for  rapid  progression  as  steel  rails.  But 
the  excitement  which  has  followed  the  making  of  a  match  at 
heat6  of  two  miles  is  an  augury  that  there  will  be  a  change  in 
some  respects,  and  a  great  probability  that  another  year  may 
bring  a  notable  improvement  in  the  way  of  change  from  the 
heretofore  inevitable  3  in  5  heals  of  a  mile  to  longer  contests,

Tules  for  Bedding. — Since  writing  the  note  which 
appeared  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  two  weeks  ago,  I 
have  made  further  enquiries  in  relation  to  the  use  of  tules  for 
bedding  horse  stalls.  In  reply  there  have  been  favorable 
answers,  and  from  these  and  observation  on  a  trip  to  Rancho 
del  Paso  last  week.  I  am  convinced  that  the  scheme  is  practi- 
cable. There  are  several  ponds  on  the  rancho  which  are  sur- 
rounded with  a  dense  growth  of  that  semi-aquatic  plant, 
where  harvesting  would  be  little  trouble,  aod  after  the  sub- 
sidence of  the  water  on  the  bottoms  there  are  many  places 
where  a  mowing  machine  could  be  used.  It  does  seem  that 
when  the  retail  price  of  straw  is  one  dollar  per  bale,  and  with 
the  prospect  of  the  price  being  kept  up  until  after  the  harvest 
of  1895,  that  after  an  experiment,  which  would  demonstrate 
the  availability  of  tules  for  bedding,  the  enterprise  would 
pay.  It  may  prove  that  when  straw  is  at  a  normal  price,  say 
fifty  cents  a  bale  au  average  for  the  year,  that  tules  would 
come  into  successful  competition  in  San  Francisco  aod  Oak- 
land. I  should  not  be  at  all  surprised  if  it  were  fonnd  supe- 
rior to  straw  on  many  accounts,  making  a  better  bed  after 
being  trampled  upon  for  a  short  time,  a  cleaner  bed  and  with 
less  work  for  stablemen.  When  it  comes  to  paying  about  $20 
a  ton  for  an  inferior  grade  of  straw,  it  is  one  of  the  main 
items  of  expense  in  stable  economy,  especially  to  those  who 
have  horses  in  box  stnlls.  There  may  be  objections  which 
will  prevent  using  it  for  the  purpose,  and  I  will  be  under 
obligations  if  those  who  are  in  a  position  to  have  definite 
koowledge  will  present  their  views  for  publication.

CALIFORNIA    JOCKEY     CLUB   RACES. 

THIRTY-SECOND  DAT — WEDNESDAY,   MAY  16. 

.HE  bookmakers  had  the  best  of 
the  talent  this  afternoon  beyond  all 
doubt  in  the  argument  over  the 
financial  question.  Heavy  losses 
were  made  by  form -players  on 
Boole,  Last  Chance,  Border  Las- 
sie and  Norlee,  and  Monterey  was 
strongly  supported  for  place  in  the 
second  event  of  the  day.  The 
Floodmore  race,  third  on  the  card, 
was  perhaps  the  only  one  where 
the  public-evened  ap  the  score  a  little.  The  track  was  still 
heavy  from  the  rains — perhaps  four  seconds  to  the  mile — and 
the  time  made  in  all  the  races  was  therefore  excellent.  Over 
1,200  attended,  a  fair  crowd  considering  the  class  of  horses 
competing  in  most  of  the  events.  "Doc"  Tuberville  distin- 
guished himself  by  riding  two  winners,  while  other  success- 
ful riders  were  E.  Jones,  Hennessy  and  McAulifie. 

Navy  Blue,  a  two-year-old  maiden  from  the  Spreckels 
stable  bv  the  famous  Blue  Wing,  led  all  the  way  in  the  first 
race  and  won  by  ahead  in  a  drive  that  lasted  for  about  a  quar- 
ter of  a  mile.  Twang  was  third,  three  lengths  off,  and  Boule, 
the  heavily  played  favorite,  ran  a  poor  sixth.  Boule  certainly 
made  a  very  poor  showing,  considering  how  easily  she  de- 
feated Navy  Blue  very  recently,  giving  him  foor  pounds  more 
weight  than  to-day. 

Rey  Alfonso  to-day  ran  the  best  half-mile  ever  credited  to 
any  two-year-old  in  California.  Getting  away  second,  he  flew  by 
Monterey  in  the  first  one  hundred  yards,  led  into  the  home- 
stretch by  five  lengths,  and  eventually  won  by  four  from  Gal- 
lant in  the  extraordinary  time  of  0:50— this  over  a  track  fully 
four  seconds  slow  to  the  mile  at  the  time.  As  the  Prince  of 
Norfolk  colt  carried  123  pounds  and  did  the  distance  virtu- 
ally in  0:48  flat,  the  merit  of  the  performance  can  be  readily 
understood. 

Floodmore  easily  took  the  third  race  into  camp.  It  was 
at  a  mile,  and  Dr.  Ross  led  him  into  the  homestretch.  The 
Lark,  whe  presumably  was  interfered  with  between  the  quar- 
ter and  half-poles,  finished  second,  coming  very  fast  down  the 
homestretch,  and  Ryland  was  third. 

Hennessy's  ride  on  Last  Chance  in  the  fourth  race  was 
very  poor,  to  draw  it  mildly.  He  loafed  along  about  a  length 
behind  Kathleen  until  about  twenty  yards  of  the  finish,  and 
when  Mike  did  urge  the  colt  at  that  point  he  developed  a 
fine  burst  of  speed,  and  lost  by  a  nose  only.  That  Last  Chance, 
with  a  good  ride,  could  beat  Kathleen  lengths  in  a  run  of  five 
furlongs  at  to-day's  weights  any  one  with  the  least  knowledge 
of  racing  could  see. 

The  last  race  went  to  Clacquer,  who  laid  third  behind 
Midget  and  Border  Lassie  up  to  the  final  sixteenth,  then 
came  on  and  won  in  a  drive  by  a  nose  from  Midget  fast  in 
time,  track  considered.  Border  Lassie  was  third,  three 
lengths  away.  The  stewards,  after  looking  Clacquer' s  recent 
performances  up  in  the  "  form  book,"  suspended  Johnny  Ap- 
pleby pending  investigation.  Appleby  bears  an  excellent 
reputation,  and  this  horse  has  shown  a  partiality  for  muddy 
or  heavy  courses.  Besides  Clacquer  has  only  recently  re- 
covered from  an  illness,  being  sent  to  Oakland  track  to  re- 
cuperate. This  was  the  one  horse  in  the  stable  that  could 
earn  a  dollar,  and  now  he  has  been  sold  because  Appleby  did 
not  have  the  money  to  protect  him.

Boole  went  to  the  post  a  well-played  favorite  at  7  to  5  after 
opening  at  8  to  5.  Polaski  opened  at  8  to  5,  closed  at  2  to  1. 
Navy  Blue  was  at  7  to  1,  Twang,  Morton,  Nellie  Van  and 
April  15  to  1  each,  Santa  Fe  30  and  Hollister  Dennis  60  to 
1.  Navy  Blue,  Santa  Fe,  Nellie  Van,  April  was  the  order  at 
the  start.  Morton  was  all  but  left  at  the  post.  Navy  Blue 
and  Polaski  were  half  a  length  apart  as  named  at  the  half, 
Twang  at  their  heels,  a  head  in  front  of  Nellie  Van.  Navy 
Blue  and  Polaski  were  heads  apart  only  into  the  homestretch,

and  Gold  Dust  10  each,  Peregal  and  Durango  20  to  1  each. 
Last  Chance,  Kathleen,  Durango,  Alto  Mio  was  the  order  to 
a  good  start.  At  the  half  Last  Chance,  Kathleen  and  Du- 
rango were  half  lengths  apart  as  named,  three  lengths  in 
front  of  Peregal.  bearing  the  homestretch  Last  Chance 
dropped  back  to  third  place,  Kathleen  leading  Alto  Mio  into 
the  straight  a  head,  Last  Chance  about  half  a  length  away, 
lapped  by  Durango.  Kathleen  led  by  about  a  length  up  to 
the  last  twenty  yards.  It  was  not  until  this  point  was  reached 
that  Hennessy  made  a  move  with  Last  Chance,  and  though 
the  colt  came  about  twice  as  fast  as  the  black  mare.  Kathleen 
won  by  a  nose  from  Last  Chance,  Alto  Mio  at  the  latter's 
heels,  two_  lengths  from  Durango-  Time,  1:04.  Hennessy's 
riding  of  .Last  Chance  is  open  to  very  strong  criticism.  The 
idea  of  a  half-bred  mare  holding  her  own  with  a  thorough- 
bred down  the  homestretch  is  a  preposterous  one,  and  had 
Hsnnessy  made  any  sort  of  an  effort  with  Last  Chance  even 
forty  yards  of  the  end  he  could  not  have  lost  the  race.

[Winner  trained  by  owner.] 
Border  Lassie  was  a  well-supported  first  choice,  opening  at 
3  to  1,  closing  at  13  to  5.  i^orlee  was  a  2i  to  1  shot  at  the 
opening,  3  to  1  at  the  close,  while  Midget's  odds  receded  from 
2k  to  5  to  1,  North  was  at  5,  Clacquei  6  (8  at  one  time),  Red 
Bird  20  and  Fred  Parker  30  to  1.  A  good  start  was  effected. 
Clacquer,  Border  Lassie  and  North  was  the  order.  Midget, 
fifth  away,  ran  through  the  bunch  like  a  shot,  and  as  the 
half-pole  was  leading  Border  Lassie  half  a  length,  the  latter 
Fred  Parker  and  Norlee  saddle-girths  apart  as  named.  Mid- 
get turned  into  the  homestretch  a  length  to  the  good,  Border 
Lassie,  Clacquer  and  Norlee  heads  apart.  Midget  looked  a 
sure  winner  up  to  the  last  100  yards,  where  Clacquer  began  to 
loom  up  dangerous.  McAulifie  brought  the  Three  Cheers 
colt  up  with  a  meteoric  rush,  and  in  the  last  stride  Clacquer 
passed  Midget  and  won  from  Border  Lassie,  third,  who  beat 
Fred  Parker  two  lengths.  Time,  L03L  President  Williams 
bought  the  winner  for  §800,  $400  over  his  entered  selling 
price.  Form-books  were  closely  scanned  by  the  judges  and 
stewards,  and  after  about  ten  minutes'  deliberation  it  was  an- 
nounced that  E.  J.  Appleby,  owner  of  Clacquer,  had  been  sus- 
pended pending  investigation.  Mr.  Appleby's  reputation  for 
honesty  on  the  turf  has  not  been  questioned  before  that  we 
ever  heard  of,  and  it  is  altogether  likely  that  in  the  end  he 
will  be  exonerated.  Clacquer  has  shown  a  great  liking  in  the 
past  for  heavy  going,  and  isdangerons  in  races  such  as  he  ran 
to-day  in  any  company. 

THIRTY-THIRD  DAY — THURSDAY,  MAY  17. 

It  was  a  pretty  good  day  for  the  odds-shouters,  as  only  one 
favorite  got  his  nose  first  past  the  finishing-post,  and  that 
was  in  the  last  event  on  the  card.  A  lot  of  money  was  lost  by 
the  public  on  King  Sam,  Cocheco  and  De  Bracey.  The 
sensation  of  the  day  was  the  ruliDg  off  for.  life  of  W. 
M.  Murry,  of  Sacramento,  together  with  all  the  horses 
in  Lis  very  large  string.  The  stewards  could  not 
reconcile  the  running  of  Pricelle,  who  ran  seventh  in 
a  rather  poor  field  of  eight  yesterday,  but  to-day 
came  out  and  won  in  true  race-horse  style  from  abetter  lot. 
Chevalier,  who  rode  the  horse  on  both  occasions,  testified  that 
yesterday  Pricelle  was  certainly  "dead  under  him" — in 
shor  ,  6sed  in  the  stable  so  that  he  could  not  beat  the  ycl- 
|  lowest  sort  of  dogs.  This  afternoon  Pricelle  ran  gamely  and 
well  from  beginning  to  end,  and  the  change  was  so  marked 
I  that  a  tyro  could  see  the  inconsistency  of  his  running.  Co- 
I  checo  seemed  to  outclass  her  field  in  this  race,  and  made  a  re- 
markably poor  showing.  Mmry,  the  horsemen  ruled  off",  has 
been  before  the  California  public  for  perhaps  fifteen  years, 
and  was  quite  successful.  The  punishment  is  the  severest 
possible,  but  it  would  appear  from  the  circumstances  sur- 
rounding the  case  that  if  ever  a  horse  was  run  in  a  crooked 
manner,  Pricelle  is  that  one.  The  evidence  against  Murry 
certainly  would  justify  the  penalty  inflicted,  though  perhaps 
he  may  have  the  sympathy  of  a  few. 

Hennessy,  Sullivan,  Chevalier,  Ames  and  Jooes  piloted 
the  winners  to-day. 

Corncob  and  Sidney,  long  shots,  alternated  in  the  lead  un- 
til the  homestretch  was  reached.  Corncob  held  his  command 
up  to  the  last  eighty  yards,  where  Mustesa  came  at  the  Mari- 
ner gelding,  who  grew  very  tired,  and  the  mare  won  quite  an 
exciting  race  by  a  neck.  King  Sam,  the  hot  favorite,  showed. 

Victory  won  the  second  race,  half  a  mile,  by  a  nose,  in  the 
good  time  of  0:50,  Miss  Ruth  getting  the  place  and  Coquette 
the  show. 

Pricelle  won  the  third  event  on  the  card  by  one  and  a  half 
iengthsfrom  Morven,  with  Cocheco,  the  favorite,  a  bad  third. 
The  victory  was  a  very  costly  one  to  Billy  Murry,  as  told 
above. 


Cadmus  made  his  appearance  to-day  in  the  Spreckels  col- 
ors for  the  first  time,  and  after  a  long  rest.  It  was  in  the 
fourth  race,  which  he  won  handily  at  the  end  after  a  hard 
battle  for  over  seven  furlongs.  De  Bracey  was  second  and 
old  Happy  Day  third.  Sir  Reel  ran  well  until  within  a  fur- 
long of  home. 

Sea  Spray,  the  lone  favorite  to  win,  needed  quite  a  shaking 
up  at  the  end  to  stall  off*  Artist's  great  rush.  Lonnie  B.  ran 
third  and  Rube  Burrows  absolutely  last.

L.  P.  W.  Quimby  was  a  visitor  at  the  track  Thursday.  He 
is  President  of  the  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association. 
Mr.  Quimby  expects  to  induce  a  number  of  California  horse- 
men to  take  in  the  Portland  meeting,  which  begins  June  30th. 

The  string  of  W.  II.  Murry,  ruled  off  Thursday,  was  a  big 
one,  including  such  celebrities  as  Thorahill,  Circe,  Belfast, 
The  Lark,  Pricelle,  Ernest  and  Claudie.  Besides  there  was 
Terranova,  Lodowic,  Geoffrey  and  a  colt  by  King  Alfonso, 
dam  by  Waverly. 

Simfon  ix.  R  eed's  string  of  four  racers  reached  Hawthorne 
Thursday  from  California.  The  Oregon  millionaire's  quartet 
includes  Lucky  Log,  which  is  being  especially  prepared  for 
the  American  Derby.  Matt  Monyhan,  the  jockey,  also 
arrived  from  San  Francisco.  He  was  shot  while  riding  in 
the  train  near  San  Antonio  by  a  wild  Mexican  who  fired  at 
the  cars,  but  was  not  seriously  wounded,  and  after  ten  day's 
delay  he  will  be  able  to  resume  hisjourney. 

In  the  sale  next  Tuesday  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm' 
there  is  the  fine  mare  Fearless,  by  Fallis,  2:23,  her  black  colt 
a  two-year-old  by  Sable  Wilkes,  and  her  filly,  a  yearling  also 
by  Sable  Wilkes.  They  are  owned  by  J.  F.  McNaught  and 
a  fine  trio  of  trotters  cannot  be  found  anywhere.  Fearless  is 
heavy  with  foal  to  Sable  Wilkes  and  is  liable  to  have  a  foal 
before  the  day  of  sale.  These  are  as  choice  as  anything  to 
be  sold  next  Tuesday. 

We  have  it  on  good  authority  that  the  new  race  course 
will  not  be  ready  by  next  fall,  and  it  is  doubtful  if  there  is 
racing  over  it  for  at  least  two  years.  Therefore  the  next  race 
meeting  under  the  auspices  of  the  California  Jockey  Club 
will  take  place  at  the  old  Bay  District.  And  this  meeting  will 
be  the  grandest  ever  dreamed  of  in  the  West,  beginning  Oc- 
tober 27,  1894,  and  lasting  until  June  1-5,  1895 — six  days 
per  week.  Fully  ooe  thousand  horses  will  participate,  and 
some  big  stakes  will  be  inaugurated. 

There  was  a  riot  at  the  Longchamps  yesterday,  says  a 
Paris  dispatch.  During  the  Prix  Reisette  the  favorite,  Tou- 
jour, left  the  course.  The  crowd  invaded  the  course,  hoot- 
ing the  jockey  and  threatening  to  do  him  bodily  harm.  Sev- 
eral sportsmen  tried  to  protect  the  horse  and  jockey,  but  the 
enraged  mob  beat  the  favorite's  defenders  with  sticks,  and 
also  beat  the  horse.  The  jockey  was  thrown  out  of  the  saddle 
and  fled  to  the  stable.  Tr<e  police  were  re-enforced  and  suc- 
ceeded in  enforcing  order,  after  which  the  racing  was  re- 
sumed. 

A  grevt  deal  of  spmpathy  was  expressed  Thursday  by  the 
horsemen  at  the  local  course  for  Johnny  Appleby,  who  not 
only  lost  out  of  a  selling  race  theonly  horse  in  the  stable  that 
could  win  a  dollar,  but  was  suspended  for  the  horse's  running. 
It  is  well  known  that  Clacquer  was  so  sick  just  before  his 
former  race  that  Johnny  wanted  to  withdraw  him  at  the  last 
moment,  but  being  a  diffident  young  fellow,  did  not  ask  per- 
mission of  thejudges  to  do  so.  Appleby  desires  an  investiga- 
tion at  once,  believing  in  his  ability  to  prove  his  innocence  of 
any  wrongdoing.  

The  famous  mare,  Lou  Lanier  Cdam  of  Lucky  Dog,  Kil- 
deer,  King  Arthur  and  Kismet)  dropped  dead  in  a  paddock 
last  Wednesday  at  Rancho  del  Paso.  She  had  foaled  a  fine 
filly  by  Salvator,  was  apparently  in  fine  health,  and  had  been 
removed  to  a  paddock  by  herself.  She  began  to  quiver,  and 
in  *a  few  moments  fell  over  dead.  Lou  Lanier  was  perhaps 
the  very  greatest  broodmare  at  the  famous  farm,  and  in  her 
day  was  renowned  on  the  turf.  She  was  by  Lever  (son  of 
Lexington  and  Levity,  by  imp.  Trustee),  dam  Lady  Harda- 
way,  by  Commodore,  and  was  foaled  in  1875.  Her  yearling, 
by  Salvator  brought  $7,300  at  auction  last  year.

Siam,  2:26},  and  ten  two  and  three-year-olds  that  have  no 
records  as  yet. 

The  late  rains  have  had  a  most  beneficial  effect  upon  the 
hay  and  grain  crops  in  California,  in  consequence  thereof, 
horses  and  cattle  owners  feel  more  jubilant  than  they  have 
since  last  March.  

The  consumption  of  horseflesh  in  Vienna  increases  in  a 
most  remarkable  manner.  The  number  of  horses  slaughtered 
in  1893  amounted  to  18,209  or  4,869  more  than  in  the  thr°e 
towns  of  Berlin,  Breslau  and  Hamburg. 

Wm.  Murray  has  Diablo,2;09j,  looking  better  and  stronger 
this  year  than  he  has  ever  had  him.  If  nothing  happens 
this  son  of  Chas.  Derby,  2:20,  will  come  nearer  the  tffo- 
minute  mark  than  any  horse  in  America. 

If  the  prominent  breeders  of  trotting  horses  could  be  in- 
duced to  confess  the  mistakes  they  are  aware  of  having  made 
during  their  respective  career  as  breeders,  the  confessions 
would  make  some  very  interesting  reading. 

The  late  L'nited  States  Senator  from  Michigan,  Francis  B. 
Stockbridge,  was  a  partner  in  the  extensive  trottinghorse 
breeding  establishment  of  8.  A.  Browne  &  Co.,  at  Kalamazoo, 
one  of  the  best-known  breeding  farms  in  the  West. 

Klamath,  2:13h  and  Jingler,  2:15j,have  left  Los  Angeles 
for  Albuquerque,  New  Mexico.  From  there  they  will  go  to 
Trinidad  and  thence  to  Denver,  Colorado.  The  proba- 
bilities are  very  favorable  for  them  to  go  further  East. 

George  Stabb,  having  two  starters  for  the  2:10  class,  has 
turned  Walter  E.,  2:10,  over  to  Colonel  John  G.  Taylor,  of 
Burlington,  Kan.,  who  will  manage  him  this  year.  Mr.  Tay- 
lor's stable  is  being  trained  by  Jack  Curry  at  Davenport,  Iowa. 

Wm.  Vioget,  of  the  Vioget  Stock  Farm,  will  not  have 
any  trotters  on  the  circuit  this  year ;  at  least ,  that  is  his  in- 
tention. In  1895,  however,  he  will  be  prepared  to  show  "  the 
boys  "  some  very  speedy  youngsters  by  Eros  and  Wild  Boy. 

Thos.  O'Brien,  who  for  some  time  past  has  been  in  the 
employ  of  Mr.  Hickok  has  been  engaged  to  train  the  young- 
sters for  Mr.  A.  B.  Spreckels  of  Napa.  Tom  will  not  sever 
hii  connections  with  Mr.  Hickok  until  that  gentleman  starts 
East.  

A  NUMBEaof  the  best  youngsters  bj  Sidney  and  Simmo- 
colon,  owned  at  Simmocolon  Farm,  Ypsilanti,  Mich.,  will  be 
sent  to  Geo.  Starr  this  month.  W.  J.  Hammond's  fast  geld- 
ing Wilkes,  2:171,  will  join  the  Starr  stable  at  the  Detroit 
meeting.  

When  Senator  Stanford  died,  the  inventory  of  stock 
showed  that  he  was  the  owner  of  1,106  horses,  thoroughbreds 
and  trotters.  Since  his  death  this  number  was  reduced  to 
a  little  over  700,  but  the  foals  this  year  will  bring  the 
total  up  to  900.  

ijiA-,  Dougherty,  of  San  Ramon  Valley,  sent  a  colt  by 
Abdul,  2:28,  to  Jm.  Sutherland,  the  well-known  trainer  and 
driver,  and  after  sixty  days  work  he  was  delighted  to  see  the 
young-tier  trot  a  mile  in  2:33  ;  pretty  good  for  a  two-year-old 
that  never  was  handled  before. 


Trainer  T.  H.  Griffin,  of  Colorado  Springs  Stock  Farm, 
is  pleased  with  their  latest  purchase,  the  pacing  stallion  Harry 
Victor,  sold  by  the  estate  of  the  late  Dr.  F.  D-  Clarke,  of 
Chicago.  This  horse  will  be  paced  in  the  green  stakes  at 
Denver.  He  is  handsome  and  of  the  Wilkes  pattern,  being  a 
son  of  Black  Victor,  by  Alcantara. 

S.  A.  Pabkeb,  of  Newell,  Iowa,  writes:  "  The  filly  I 
have  (now  a  yearling)  by  McKinney,  2:11$,  out  of  Princess, 
by  Electioneer,  second  dam  Amrah,  by  Nutwood,  is  one  of 
the  handsomest  and  finest-gaited  youngsters  I  ever  saw.  My 
stock  has  wintered  well  and  the  foals  are  coming  nicely  this 
spring." 


Fbom  G.  O.  Wilson,  of  Baltimore,  comes  word  that  his 
broodmare  Juno,  dam  of  Idah,  yearling  record  2:30,  by  Buc- 
caneer out  of  the  famous  Venus,  dam  of  Adonis,  2:11  A,  Cu- 
pid, 2:18,  etc.,  foaled  a  bay  colt  April  29th,  by  Direct  Line, 
2:25,  son  of  Director,  2:17,  and  Lida  W.,  2:181,  pacing,  by 
Nutwood,  2:18].  The  youngster  was  carried  a  year  lacking 
but  one  day.  

Geo.  Bleil  (Shorty)  has  been  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock 
Farm  for  several  months,  handling  and  bitting  the  colts  and 
fillies  to  be  sold  there  next  Tuesday.  Every  horseman  in 
California  knows  that  as  a  kindergarten  teacher  of  trotters 
and  pacers  "Shorty"  has  no  equal,  and  the  colts  and  fillies 
to  be  shown  at  the  sale  will  be  perfectly  gentle  and  ready  to 
be  given  to  a  trainer  at  once. 

F.  P.  Olcott,  proprietor  of  the  Round  Top  Farm,  Ber- 
nardsville,  N.  J.,  shipped  Alar,  2:221,  by  Alcantara,  and 
Amelia,  2:211,  by  Albert  W  ,  to  Poughkeepsie,  where  they 
will  be  worked  by  John  Goldsmith,  while  Dave  Colross,  who 
rubbed  Johnston,  2:06};  Ranis,  2:13},  and  Director,  2:17, 
when  they  each  made  their  records,  will  break  and  develop 
the  young  thingB  at  the  farm.  Mr.  Olcott  reports  his  mares 
as  all  showing  well,  and  several  extra  nice  foals  have  arrived 
at  the  farm.  

William  Tompkins,  who  died  at  the  Erie  Hotel,  Gos- 
hen, N.  Y.,  April  18,  was  one  of  the  veteran  horsemen  of 
this  country,  and  one  of  our  best  informed  judges  of  trot- 
ting horses.  He  purchased  Goldsmith  Maid,  2:14,  from  her 
breeder  and  sold  her  to  Alden  Goldsmith.  He  was  a  pool- 
seller  of  note,  and  had  the  privilege  at  several  race  meet- 
ings in  the  State  of  Nebraska  the  past  three  years.  His  wife 
and  a  daughter,  from  whom  he  bad  been  separated  several 
years,  live  in  New  York  City.     He  died  penniless. 

The  lovers  of  good  horses  in  and  around  the  thriving  little 
city  of  Fort  Bragg,  Mendocino  County,  have  formed  an  asso- 
ciation, purchased  the  land,  built  a  half-mile  racetrack  and 
are  just  putting  the  finishing  touches  on  a  commodious  grand 
stand.  F.  A.  Whipple,  one  of  the  most  progressive  business 
men  there,  has  been  elected  President,  while  for  able  assis- 
tants he  will  have  J.  N.  Siy,  J.  J.  Moirow,  David  Ross, 
Daniel  Ross  and  Samuel  McMullen.  The  association  formed 
has  sent  in  its  application  to  become  a  member  of  the  Occi- 
dental Trotting  and  Pacing  Association. 

Dr.  Lemke  returned  from  Tehachapi  last  night,  where  he 
was  called  to  kill  more  glandered  horses.  Twenty-two  in  all 
were  destroyed.  He  says  the  disease  is  spreading  and  that  it 
is  caused  by  outsiders  bringing  diseased  animals  into  the 
county.  He  advises  some  sort  of  a  quarantine  against  the 
southeast  portion  of  Tulare  County,  which  he  says  is  "rotten" 
with  glandered  horses.  On  hio  way  back  from  Tehachapi  he 
met  a  man  driving  two  diseased  horses.  He  stopped  and  put 
them  out  of  the  way. — Bakersfield  Californian. 


Meters  A  Meyebs,  of  Pleasanton,  will  goto  the  Montana 
circuit  this  year.  They  will  start  about  the  20th  of  June. 
Among  the  good  things  in  this  string  Cyrus  is  undoubtedly 
the  best.  The  old  fellow  is  looking  well  and  strong,  and 
should  prove  a  good  bread  winner.  The  roan  mare  Flora  S., 
2:18},  is  working  nicely  and  will  give  anything  in  her  class 
a  race  for  the  money.  Stam  B.,  a  green  two-year-old,  by 
Stamboul,  is  looked  upon  as  a  shining  light  in  this  brigade 
of  racers.  

At  the  Brighton  Farm,  R->slyn,  L.  I.,  the  home  of  Island 
Wilkes,  2:18|,   and   Director's   Jug,   2:291-,    there  are  some 
!  yearlings  that  give  promise  of  developing  into  very  valuable 
trotters.     Those  that  are  being  trained  for  a  record  are  Rad- 
I  cliffe,  a  chestnut  colt,  and  Martica,  a  black  filly,  both  year- 
j  lings;  Willets,  three  years  old,  and  Caris^ima  and  OUie  Keep, 
two-year-olds,  all  by  Island  Wilkes.  Jet,  2:30^,  by  Piedmont, 
and  Sable  Maid,  2:40,  by  Sable  Wilkes,  are  also  being  pre- 
pared for  the  races  at  the  same  farm. 

Obrin  Hickok.  will  perhaps  be  the  first  to  go  East  with 
his  stable  of  trotters  and  pacers.  He  expects  to  start  about 
the  20th  of  this  month,  and  will  go  direct  to  Terre  Haute. 
The  best  thiugs  in  Mr.  Hickok's  string  are  Silicon,  with  a 
two-year-old  record  of  2:15},  made  last  year,  aDd  is  perhaps 
entered  for  more  money  this  year  than  any  other  horse  in 
America ;  Directum,  the  trotting  king,  will  be  in  fine  form 
and  will  be  as  hard  to  head  as  ever;  Prince  Ira,  a  green 
horse,  will  prove  a  great  horse.  He  is  by  Dexter  Prince,  and 
his  dam  is  a  full  sister  to  Saladin.  Mr.  Hickok  is  well  pleased 
with  this  last-named  horse,  and  expects  to  create  a  sensation 
with  him  on  the  Eastern  turf.  Krakus,  the  Russian  horse 
that  so  much  was  expected  of,  will  not  be  fit  to  go  races  this 
year,  as  he  has  been  sick  nearly  ever  since  he  came  to  Pleas- 
anton.   

The  following  wide-tire  test  was  made  at  the  Ohio  State 
University.  An  ordinary  wagon,  with  a  new  three-inch  tire, 
was  loaded  with  two  long  tons,  or  4,480  pounds,  and  the 
draught  was  measured  by  a  dynamometer.  On  an  ordinary 
earth  road,  in  good  condition  and  hard,  the  draught  was  25* 
pounds.  On  a  grass  field  it  was  468  pounds.  On  newly 
plowed  land  it  was  771  pounds.  As  the  draught  power  of  an 
ordinary  horse  of  1,000  pounds  is  150  pounds,  two  horses 
could  draw  this  load  with  ease  on  an  ordinary  road,  and  a 
ton  and  a  half  on  a  grass  sod,  while  with  a  narrow  tire  half  as 
much,  or  a  single  ton  is  a  full  load  for  a  double  team.  Besides 
this,  the  broad  tires  roll  and  level  a  road  so  that  the  more  it  is 
used  the  better  it  becomes,  while  narrow  tires  cut  it  into  rute 
if  at  all  soft.  

Jno.  Pabbott  Jb's.  fine  German  coach  stallion,  Socrates , 
was  bred  to  a  number  of  thoroughbred  and  trottiog-bred 
mares  last  year  of  all  shades  of  bays,  browns  and  chestnuts, 
and  some  of  them  with  very  pronounced  white  markings.  The 
foals  this  year  from  these  mares  are  uniform  in  color  and  size 
and  a  finer^lot  of  typical  youngsters  which  are  perfect  in  form, 
bone,  muscular  development  and  style  is  not  to  be  found  on 
any  stock  farm  in  California.  Horsemen  who  are  qualified  to 
judge  declare  they  never  saw  such  perfect  types  of  any  breed 
of  carriage  horses  in  California.  We  congratulated  Mr.  Par- 
rott  on  securing  this  German  coach  stallion  as  a  sire  last 
year,  and  are  pleased  to  hear  he  has  done  so  well  with  the  class 
of  mares  he  was  bred  to.  There  is  a  fine  field  for  perfectly- 
matched  horses  in  the  L'nited  States  at  all  times. 


In  theentriei  to  the  various  meetiogd  in  the  East  this  year 
the  names  of  fast  California -bred  colts  and  fillies  teem  to  pre- 
dominate, and  if,  at  (he  end  of  the  season,  they  do  as  well  as 
we  have  reason  to  believe  they  will,  there  will  be  a  return  of 
the  "boom"  for  California-bred  stock. 


The  directors  of  the  Yolo  Agricultural  Association  have 
raided  the  purae  for  the  free-for-all  trot  and  pace  from  $700 
to  $S00.  The  purses  for  all  clas*  race*  have  also  been  in- 
creased frnrn  $500  to  $700.  As  an  incentive  to  bring  out  extra 
fast  time  lb«  directors  have  offered  $200  additional  to  the 
purse,  to  an'  tiorse  in  the  free-for-all  oace  that  shall  lower 
the  track  rec   -d  of  2:091  made  last  year  by  Diablo. 


H.  W.  Meeks'  bay  mare  Cricket,  2:10,  by  Steinway,  2:25|, 
dropped  a  brown  filly  by  Direct,  2:05^,  last  week.  She  has  a 
star  in  forehead  and  two  hind  pasterns  white.  This  is  the 
acme  oi  breeding  for  speed  and  gameness.  The  Tom  Hal 
family  will  have  to  be  "a-rustlin'  "  to  beat  this  little  princess. 
A  friend  of  this  journal  says:  "She  is  practicing  for  the  free- 
for-all  races  every  day."  George  Gray,  the  trainer  of  Mr. 
Meeks'  horses  reports  all  of  the  stock  doing  well,  and  if  noth- 
ing happens  thev  will  be  ready  when  the  bell  taps. 

Another  phase  of  the  Stamboul  record  case  has  put  in  an 
appearance-  Since  Sammy  Gamble  began  talking  and  writ- 
ing letters  to  the  turf  press  Mr.  Harriman  has  hired  him  and 
put  the  voluble  Samuel  in  charge  of  Stamboul  and  the  bal- 
ance of  the  stock  at  Goshen,  N.  Y.  Of  course  Sammy  is 
now  back  on  the  Stamboul  side  of  the  fence,  and  is  busy  de- 
nyingall  that  he  ever  said  or  might  have  said.  It  is  evident 
that  Sammy  Gamble  is  something  of  a  weather  cock,  and  his 
6ay  so  does  not  amount  to  a  pinch  of  snuff — American 
Sportsman. 

There  is  little  danger  in  breeding  to  an  untried  sire,  pro- 
vided his  individuality  and  his  inheritance  are  of  the  right 
kind.  Four  years  ago  Chimes  and  Patchen  Wilkes  were  un- 
tried sires  and  tbe  same  objections  could  be  raised  against 
breeding  to  them  that  can  be  raised  against  breeding  to  their 
sons  to-day.  The  man  who  feels  that  he  cannot  afford  to 
breed  to  the  tried  and  popular  sires,  may  without  hesitation 
breed  to  such  untried  sons  of  those  horses  as  his  judgment 
tells  him  are  in  individuality  and  inheritance  qualified  to  fol- 
low in  the  footsteps  of  their  respective  sires. — Horse  World. 

The  last  foal  by  Silver  Bow,  2:16,  out  of  Maud  Singleton, 
2:284,  surprised  Peter  Williams, 'the  owner,  when  it  came,  for 
it  was  hardly  able  to  move  when  it  began  to  amble,  and  when 
three  days  old  was  a  sweet-gaited  pacer.  Pete  never  said  a 
word  about  it,  for  it  was  the  first  Silver  Bow  he  had  ever  seen 
that  showed  any  inclination  to  adopt  the  sidewheel  gait,  but 
last  week  he  again  visited  the  farm  and  the  thought  of  that 
little  pacer  being  uppermost  in  his  mind,  he  went  out  to  the 
paddock,  looked  at  the  youngster  and  came  into  the  house 
smiling,  for  the  little  lassie  was  trotting  around  as  perfectly 
as  ever  her  sire  did  io  any  race 

Thos.  Keating  left  the  race  track  at  Lodi  for  Stockton 
two  weeks  ago.  He  is  working  his  string  of  horses  on  the 
kite  track  there,  as  the  regulation  track  has  a  most  beautiful 
crop  of  weeds  growing  on  its  surface.  The  kite  track,  how- 
ever, is  simply  perfection.  Tom  has  Ottinger,  2:11),  a  sister 
to  Flora  M  ,  2:16,  a  very  fast  mare  ;  Aster,  2:16  ;  Our  Cap- 
tain, a  green  horse  by  Fallis,  2:23  ;  Steve,  by  Steve  Whipple, 
2:12;  Elith,  2:141;  Robert  L  ,  by  Plumas  ;  Our  Dick,  2:10}, 
and  Crown  Prince,  2:17$.  All  of  these  are  doing  splendidly 
since  their  arrival.  Whether  he  will  take  them  through  the 
Montana  Circuit  is  a  question  as  yetjunsolved.  Such  a  string 
of  good  ones  would  be  a  valuable  (acquisition  to  any  race 
meeting. 


The  races  at  South  Park,  in  Eureka,  Humboldt  County, 
Sunday,  attracted  quite  a  crowd,  many  being  present  from 
the  outside  portions  of  tne  country.  The  two  contests  of  the 
afternoon  proved  very  interesting  and  consisted  of  a  buggy 
race  with  Bailie  H.,  Screwdriver,  Moore  and  Grey  Eagle  as 
starters,  which  was  won  easily  by  Moore,  and  a  pacing  race 
between  Dr.  Michaels'  Los  Angeles,  Wm.  Sinclair's  BeUe 
King  and  P.  F.  Antonsen'e  Covey,  in  which  Belle  took  two 
of  the  three  heats.  The  latter  race  was  the  most  exciting 
and  its  occurrence,  it  is  rumored,  has  led  to  a  $500  match  be- 
ing made  between  Belle  King  and  Covey.  In  the  first  heat, 
which  was  won  by  Covey,  Los  Angeles  lost  his  boot  and  cat 
his  leg,  to  which  fact  many  of  those  present  attributed  the 
defeat  of  the  fleet  old  Ferndale  stepper.  Los  Angeles  waa 
the  favorite  and  it  is  said  that  considerable  money  waa 
"dropped  "  on  him  both  in  the  pools  and  on  bets. 

In  a  few  weeks  more  the  Pleasanton  track  will  be  almost 
deserted.  The  horsemen  are  preparing  to  leave  for  the  East 
and  Northern  circuits.  Monroe  Salisbury  is  expected  to 
start  East  about  the  last  of  this  month.  He  will  go  to  Den* 
ver  first  where  he  has  a  number  of  his  youngsters  entered. 
This  famous  stable  of  trotters  and  pacers  is  considered  to  be 
stronger  than  ever  before  and  it  will  not  surprise  us  to  hear 
of  the  two  and  three  year-old  trotting  and  pacing  recordf 
being  smashed  into  "smithereens  "  by  a  son  or  daughter  of 
Little  Direct  before  the  racing  season  closes.  Don  Lowell 
is  considered  by  Mr.  Salisbury  to  be  the  best  in  his  string,  he 
even  intimates  that  Directum,  the  king,  has  no  advantage 
over  the  son  of  Don  Marvin.  Flying  Jib,  2:04,  is  in  fine 
condition  and  in  the  hands  of  Andy  McDowell  will  be  a  bet- 
ter horse  than  he  was  last  season  .  Directly  and  Miss  Kate, 
the  two  two-year-olds  by  Direct,  andRokeby,  the  three-year- 
old  by  Director,  are  a  gallant  trio  and  will  add  fame  to  thip 
already  famous  stable. — Pleasanton  Times. 


Lou,  by  Mambrino  Boy  (dam  of  Axtell),  foaled  last  week, 
to  the  cover  of  Allerton,  a  brown  colt  with  four  white  legs. 
Lou  is  owned  by  Mrs.  A.  J.  Barnhart  of  this  city,  but  under 
the  terms  of  a  contract  entered  into  when  Axtell  was  a  two- 
year-old,  C.  W.  Williams  has  a  half  interest  in  all  her  pro- 
duce. It  has  been  agreed  by  the  parties  in  interest  that  this 
year's  foal  will  not  be  sold  until  an  attempt  has  been  made  to 
develop  its  speed.  Lou  is  the  dam  of  rive  foals  besides  the 
one  just  dropped,  and  so  far  as  known  by  development  none 
of  them  save  Axtell  have  shown  any  inclination  to  trot. 
Axtell  was  her  first ;  a  year  Tater  she  foaled  a  filly  by  Baron 
Wilkes ;  C.  W.  Williams  tried  on  her  all  his  arts  for  coaxing 
out  speed,  but  gave  it  up  and  put  her  to  breeding.  She  is  now 
among  the  matrons  at  H.  E.  Henry's  Penn  Valley  Farm. 
The  following  year  she  dropped  a  filly  by  William  L.  Mr. 
Williams  failed  to  develop  any  speed  in  her,  and  she  also 
sold  to  Mr.  Henry.  The  fourth  foal  was  a  colt  by  William 
L.  This  colt  was  bought  when  a  yearling  at  the  February 
sale,  1892,  by  Budd  Doble.  He  is  now  three  years  old,  but 
no  one  has  heard  anything  about  his  speed.  In  1892  old 
dropped  a  filly  by  Allerton,  which  was  bought  by  Mr.  Hem, 
at  the  Cleveland  sale  this  year.  We  have  never  heard  thai 
she  has  shown  any  speed.  It  is  not  strange  that  her  owners 
think  that  it  is  about  time  that  another  performer  should  be 
due  from  the  mare  that  produced  the  most  sensational  colt  ol 
bis  day. — Independence  Journal.

THE  SADDLE. 


Ajiiable,  winner  of  the  One  Thousand  Guineas  at  New- 
market,  Eng.,  on  the  11th  inst.,  is  by  the  unbeaten  St.  Simon

The  stewards  have  not  taken  any  decisive  action  in  the 
cases  of  Bookmakers  Charles  Kingsley  and  George  Rose  as 
yet.     It  is  said  they  are  awaiting  more  evidence. 

Mb.  Co  ibiGAH'8  Kitty  Scott,  who  won  the  Broodmare 
Stakes  at  Nashville  in  the  easiest  possible  style,  is  rapidly  at- 
taining a  form  that  may  prove  the  equal  of  Handspun's. 

The  sensational  unbeaten  two-year-old  filly  Handspun 
has  developed  symptoms  of  catarrhal  fever,  and  will  not  run 
again  at  the  Lexington,  Ky.,  meeting  now  in  progress. 

The  California  Jockey  Club  meeting  will  not  be  extended 
beyond  May  26th,  the  time  announced  for  its  close.  This  was 
the  statement  of  President  Thos.  H.  Williams  Saturday. 

Nearly  everybody  that  played  the  fifth  race  at  Nashville, 
May  1st  had  a  ticket  on  Issie  O.,  and  her  victory  was  a  severe 
blow  to  the  bookies,  Grannan  alone  losing  over  $6,000.  The 
track  was  fast.  

The  Fellowcharms  are  wonderfully  good  in  the  heayy  go- 
ing. Only  two  sons  of  the  Longfellow  horse  started  Tues- 
day, and  both  proved  winners.  Ab.  Stemler,  owner  of  the 
sire,  must  have  felt  very  proud. 

Gordius,  who  was  a  good  two-year-old,running  well  in  the 
best  of  company  on  far  Eastern  tracks,  but  who  had  never 
been  able  to  quite  win,  left  the  ranks  of  maidens  in  the  first 
race  Tuesday,  fairly  romping  in.; 

Scoggas  Brothebs,  of  Louisville,  on  Friday  sold  to  G. 
W.  Leihy  &  Co..  of  Chicago,  the  pair  of  winning  two-year- 
olds,  Leona's  Last  and  Miss  Alice.  The  price  was  $2,500 
for  Leona's  Last  and  $2,000  for  Miss  Alice. 

Imp.  Janet  N,  (dam  of  Bellicoso  and  Wandering  Nun), 
by  MacGregor,  has  been  bred  to  the  mighty  Ormonde.  It 
was  supposed  the  famous  horse  of  a  century  would  not  be 
bred  to  any  outside  mares  under  any  circumstances. 

The  running  colt  stakes  for  the  Butte  and  Anaconda 
meetings  includes  fifteen  stables.  Among  the  California 
three-year-olds  entered  are  Brutus  (American  Derby  candi- 
date), Normandie.  Faro,  Blue  Bell  and  Last  Chance. 

Ok  the  11th  inst.  at  Hawthorne  Charley  Weber  rode  two 
winners  and  a  second  and  A  If.  Stanford  piloted  Templemore 
to  victory  in  the  mile  and  a  sixteenth  hurdle  race.  The  latter 
got  a  favorable  notice  in  the  Inter  Ocean  for  his  riding. 

The  Melbourne  Cup's  worth  has  been  cut  down  one-half 
on  account  of  bad  times  in  Australia.  It  will  now  be  worth 
but  $25,000.  The  St.  Leger,  Champion,  Ascot  Vale,  Victo- 
ria Derby  and  other  stakes  have  been  cut  down  materially. 

Philip  J.  Dwyer  and  the  three  judges  at  Gravesend  were 
arrested  Tuesday  at  the  instigation  of  Bookmaker  Peter 
DeLace,  under  the  law,  Judge  Pryor  declaring  the  Ives  pool- 
law  unconstiutional.  The  races  were  delayed  for  quite  a 
time  in  consequence.        

Ax  the  Liofield  spring  meeting  May  17th  the  Inauguration 
Plate  of  1000  sovereigns,  for  two-year-olds,  was  won  by  Mr. 
Lowe's  Braw  Lass  filly.  Douglas  Baird's  Chasseur  was  sec- 
ond and  the  Prince  of  Wales's  Hamiltude  and  the  Duke  of 
Hamilton's  Small  Mini  ran  a  dead  heat  for  third  place. 

Charley  Weber  made  a  great  record  at  Hawthorne  on 
the  8th  inst.  He  rode  three  winners,  a  second  and  a  third 
out  of  five  mounts.  Ked  Veil  was  at  6  to  1,  Joe  Murphy  3 
and  Colonel  Clay  12  to  1.  Ottyanna  ran  third  and  Fannie 
8.  second.  On  the  9th  he  rode  two  winners  and  a  third  out 
of  three  mounts.  

The  first  number  of  Goodwin's  Guide  is  at  hand.   It  com-  |

April  at  New  Orleans,  San  Francisco,  East  St.  Louis,  Madi- 
son, Robv,  Hot  Springs,  Little  Bock,  Memphis  and  Nashville. 
It  is,  as  usual,  very  accurate,  and  forms  a  complete  and  invalu-  I 
able  record  for  all  turfites. 

A  New  York  dispatch  of  May  15th  states  that   Pierre  \ 
Lorillard  has  announced  his  intention  of  taking  a  stable  to  j 
England.  The  stud  in  New  Jersey,  one  of  the  greatest  breed-  j 
ing  establishments  in   America,  is  still  the  property  of  Mr. 
Lorillard,  and  from  it  will  be  taken  the  string  of  youngsters 
to  try  their  fortunes  abroad. 

Eugexe  Leigh  has  sold  the  two-year-old  colt  Caprivi,  by 
Oneko,  out  of  Bonita  Belle,  to  G.  W.  Poole  for  $1,500,  Mr. 
Poole  throwing  in  the  three-year-old  colt  Whitehead,  by  Joe 
Daniels — Guilia.  for  good  measure.  Caprivi  won  the  second 
race  at  Memphis  on  the  opening  day,  and  is  quite  a  promis- 
ing colt. — Live  Stock  Record. 


McClaix  (presumably  little  Si,  injured  here  last  fall)  rode 
Etarre  in  a  winner  in  a  two-year-old  race  at  Lexington,  Ky., 
on  the  9th  inst.  There  were  ten  in  the  field,  and  the  winner 
was  second  choice  at  2  to  1.  He  rode  Lucille  in  third  on  the 
same  day,  and  Mogena,  at  82  pounds,  finished  unplaced.  On 
the  8th  McClaine  brought  in  Llewellyn,  a  10  to  1  shot  that 
ran  a  mile  in  1:42. 

Lucky  Dog  went  East  from  Rancho  del  Paso  Sunday  in 
the  same  train  that  took  the  Haggin  yearlings.  John  Mackey, 
the  genial  superintendent  of  the  ranch,  went  along,  and  so 
did  Henry  Byrnes  who  has  trained  Lucky  Dog  and  who  had 
with  him,  besides,  Alesia  and  Leo.  Lucky  Dog  hasbeen 
specially  prepared  for  the  American  Derby  at  Washington 
Park  and  will  be  heard  from.  The  Salvator-Firenzi  filly  is 
the  prize  in  the  Rancho  del  Paso  lot. 

C.  H.Gillock  wired  Eugene  Leigh  May  10th  that  per 
his  instructions  the  latter  s  famous  gelding  Rambler,  which 
bad  to  be  killed  on  the  9th,  had  been  buried  at  Maplewood 
Stud  Farm,  near  Nashville.  Here  his  remains  will  rest  until 
fall,  when  Mr.  Leigh  will  remove  them  for  final  interment  to 
his  own  establishment,  La  Belle  Stud,  near  Lexington,  after 
which  he  will  erect  the  finest  monument  over  his  grave  that 
bas  ever  covered  the  bones  of  a  horse. 


Judging  from  what  I  have  seen  of  the  Keene  two-year- 
olds,  the  Guenn  filly  strikes  me  as  being  able  to  run  over  any 
of  them,  but  I  have  not  seen  enough  of  them  to  form  a  thor- 
ough opinion.  I  do,  however,  think  that  the  Darebin — Guenn 
filly  has  the  looks  and  style  of  going  that  is  typical  of  a  first- 
class  racemare. — "  Kelston  "  in  Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

Ed.  Corrigas,  asked  about  what  he  intended  doing*  re- 
tarding the  new  Jockey  Club  rule  requiring  the  securing  of  a 
license,  said :  "  I  shall  run  my  own  track  in  the  future,  as  I 
have  in  the  past,  without  interference  from  anybody."  The 
Washington  Park  Club,  it  is  declared,  will  not  come  into  the 
Jockey  Club  fold,  feeling  in  a  belligerent  mood  and  strong 
nougb  to  stand  a  hard  fight. 

Rsy  Alfonso's  half-mile  run  Wednesday  was  the  best  ever 

en  in  the  West.  On  a  track  about  four  seconds  slow  to  the 

lie  the  bay  son  of  Prince  of  Norfolk  and  Haidee  ran  half  a 

;  mile  in  0:50  with  123  pounds  up.     This  was  equal  to  0:48  in 

.  ill  probability  on  a  fast  track,  for  the  mile  on  the  same  date 

i  run  bv  Floodmore  in  1:47  and  the  "short six  furlongs  "

The  Pueblo  Stable  goes  to  Hawthorne  Park,  Chicago,  this 

'  tfurday  morning,  in  charge  of  Trainer  Harry  Mason.     In 

a  string  are  the  cracks  Bellicoso,  Brioso,  Bravoura,  Agitato, 

le  Examiner  and  famous  Gloaming.  That  this  select  string 

'.  rill  render  a  good  account  of  itself  is  certain.     From  Haw- 

horoe  the  horses  will  go  to  Washington    Park  (Chicago), 

Saratoga  and  Sheepshead  Bay. 


It  is  stated  unofficially,  but  from  an  authorative  source, 
that  rule  169,  of  the  Rules  of  Racing,  relating  to  the  reten- 
tion by  the  secretary  of  one  per  cent  of  the  full  value  of  each 
race,  applies  only  to  races  run  on  the  courses  of  the  four  as- 
sociations immediateiy  affiliated  to  The  Jockey  Club,  viz., 
The  Brooklyn,  New  York  and  Coney  Island  Jockev  Clubs 
and  Monmouth  Park  Association.  It  is  hard,  however,  to 
see  how  such  construction  can  be  put  on  the  rule. — Daily

Charles  E.  Treyathan,  well  and  favorably  known  in 
California  as  the  former  racing  editor  of  the  Examiner  and 
Chronicle  and  later  as  associate  judge  at  the  Blood  Horse 
Asssociation  and  California  Jockey  Club  meetings,  has  been 
appointed  a  member  of  the  Board  of  Stewards  at  Washington 
Park  (Chicago)  meeting.  Secretary  James  Howard  on  Tues- 
day telegraphed  Judge  Clint.  Riley  to  apprise  Mr.  Trevathan 
of  his  appointment  to  this  responsible  position.  Col.  William 
S.  Barnes,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  is  to  be  chief  of  the  board. 

The  new  horse-owners  and  breeders'  association  bas  been 
kindly  tendered  the  use  of  Bay  District  track  for  two  weeks 
by  President  Thomas  H.  Williams  Jr.  at  the  conclusion  of 
the  meeting  now  in  progress.  The  question  of  acceptance 
will  come  up  at  next  Monday  night's  meeting.  As  the  attend- 
ance has  been  gradually  dwindling  and  the  local  race-goers 
have  seen  a  whole  lot  of  the  sport  in  the  past  few  months,  if 
the  track  is  accepted  many  new  and  attractive  features  will 
have  to  be  introduced  to  make  the  initial  meeting  of  the  new 
organization  as  successful  as  desired. 

Jockev  Jistiey  BozEiiAN  left  last  Sunday  night  for  St. 
Louis,  where  he  will  ride  for  the   Kentucky  stable  of  Col. 
Jack  Chinn.     In  tne  stable  aresome  nineteen  three-year-olds. 
Bozeman  is  qaick  to  get  away  from  the  post  and  therefore  j 
good  in  a  race  of  from  four  to  six  furlongs,  but  has  not  had  \ 
experience  enough  in  riding  at  the  longer  distances  to  be  a  ' 
thorough  success  as  a  pilot.     Bozeman   explained   to   Col.  ' 
Chinn  his  ride  on  Midget,  in  the   fifth  race,  Saturday.     In 
the  homestretch  the  mare  swerved  badly,  and  more  than  one 
thought  it  was  donepurposely  by  the  boy.     However.Midget, 
according  to  the  jockey,  had  run  herself  out,  and,  as  is  her 
habit  when  tired.she  went  to  pieces,  being  barely  able  to  keep 
her  feet.    The  boy's  pulling  was  due  to   his  efforts  to  keep 
her  out  of  the  fence,  she  showing  an  inclination  to  get  near 
aud  lean  against  it. 

Mfi.  Croker  was  seen  at  Tammany  Hall  yesterday  after- 
noon. He  was  surrounded  by  a  number  of  friends  and  ap-  \ 
peared  to  be  in  a  remarkable  good  humor.  "  I  have  nothing 
more  to  say  as  to  the  newspaper  reports  of  my  intention  to 
resign  my  leadership,"  he  said.  "  All  the  reports  are  sub- 
stantially correct.  I  cannot  stand  the  constant  strain  and  , 
confinement.  I  want  to  live  as  long  as  lean,  and  my  health 
iB  precious  to  me.  I  have  been  thirty  years  in  harness  now 
and  want  some  rest.  If  I  were  dead  the  organization  would 
find  another  leader."  "  Do  you  intend  to  sell  your  stud,  and 
retire  from  the  turf?"  asked  the  reporter.  Mr.  Croker 
laughed  heartily,  and  said :  "  Retire  from  the  tnrf  ■  That  is 
the  last  thing  I  intend  doing.  Why,  I  want  to  get  time  to 
go  on  the  turf.  That  statement  is  pure  invention." — Daily 
America  and  Mercury,  May  9th. 

One  good  ruling  of  the  Jockey  Club  is  that  only  one  race  a 
day  shall  be  given  (as  an  overnight  event)  of  less  distance  than 
a  mile  for  three-year-olds  and  upward.     The  weak-lunged  , 
skates  will  now  be  put  in  the  background  and  the  stamina  of  , 
the    race   of  thoroughbreds  improved  considerably.       The 
starter's  powers  are  limited  to  punishment  of  jockeys  for  mis- 
behavior at  the  post  only.     Every  horse  must  be  named  and  ! 
registered  before  it  can  be  raced,  and  no  duplication  of  names 
will  be  allowed.     The  Board  of  Stewards  will  be  made  up  as 
follows  :     One  member  is  to  be  selected  by  the  Jockey  Clnb,  , 
a  second  by  the  association  owning  the  track,  the  third  to  be 
chosen  by  these  two  from  the  membership  of  the  club.     The 
Stewards  will  have  the  supervision  of  the  entries  to  races,  the 
declarations  from  handicaps  and  the  general  enforcement  of 
the  rules  of  racing,  which  has  heretofore  been  the  business  of 
no  one  in  particular — that  is,  of  the  judges. 

Frank  N.  Shaw,  Secretary  of  the  Twin  City  Jockey  Club,  ' 
of  St.  Paul,  left  Monday  for  St.  Louis  to  look  after  hisstable 
of  horses  at  that  point,  says  the  Nashville  American.   Before  j 
going  Mr.  Shaw  announced  that   the   Twin  City  Club  would 
begin  a  thirty-day  meeting  on  June  27,  and  that  he  had  booked  ! 
between  250  and  300  horses  for  the  meeting  during  his  visit  \ 
here.     "Five  stakes  will  be  run  during  the  meeting,"  'laid  Mr.  i 
Shaw,  "to  each  of  which  the  added  money  will  be  liberal.  The  I 
Twin  City  Derby,  a  mile  and  a  qoaner,  will  be  run  on  the  ! 
opeuingday,  and  the  Independence  Handicap,  nine  furlongs, "\ 
for  all  ages  on  July  4.     In  addition  there  will  be  three  stakes  j 
for  two-year-olds,  one  each  for  fillies  and  colts  and  one  for 
colts  and  fillies.     There  will  be  one  or  more  handicaps  each 
day,  with  $500  or  $600  added,  and  the  balance  of  the  pro- 
gramme will  be  made  ud  of  overnight  events.     No  purse  of 
less  than  $400  will  be  given.    There  are  between  500  and  600 
horses  at  the  track,  and  from    what  I  can  see  now  every  ooe 
of  them  will  be  filled.     The  club  will  also  put  on  a  foreign 
book,  which  will  take  the  Washington  Park  and  other  races." 
Mr.  Shaw   was  greatly  impressed    with    Nashville   and  its 
people,  and  while  the  ring  got  a  triile  the  best  of  him,  he  says 
he  will  come  to  see  us  again  next  year. 


Fred  Foster,  the  owner  of  Dr.  Rice,  who  won  the  Brook- 
lyn handicap  at  Gravesend  Tuesday,  according  to  his  own 
accounts,  won  more  than  $40,000  in  the  Winter  book.  This, 
together  with  the  stake  money  and  his  winnings  at  the  track, 
will  bring  the  amoun*.  up  to  many  thousands  more.  John 
Daly,  who  is  now  in  England,  and  who  was  part  owner  of 
Dr.  Rice  previous  to  his  disposal  to  Fred  Foster,  had  $250 
down  each  way  on  the  horse.  Dr.  Rice  won  a  great  deal 
besides  glory  when  he  captured  the  Brooklyn  baodicap. 
Half  of  the  big  Btakes  that  fell  to  him  will  go  to  make  the 
home  of  an  old  woman  in  St.  Paul,  Minn.,  brighter  and  more 
comfortable.  She  is  the  mother  of  Fred  Foster,  the  owner 
of  Dr.  Rice.  Mr.  Foster  said  he  would  give  her  half  of  the 
big  prize. 

Titan,  whose  sudden  death  at  Melbourne,  Victoria,  was 
briefly  announced  in  a  cablegram  last  week,  was  notable  as 
having  brought  the  highest  price  paid  for  a  gelding  in  the 
world,  except  Proctor  Knott.  Titan  had  many  ups  and 
downs.  As  a  two-year-old  he  was  quite  at  the  top  of  the  heap. 
E.  S.  Brodrible  was  so  much  enamored  of  his  three-year-old 
prospects  that  he  gave  $23,000  for  him,  which  was  the  high- 
est price  ever  paid  in  the  world  for  any  gelding  except  Proc- 
tor Knott,  who  brought  $29,000-  Titan,  however,  failed  to 
come  up  to  expectations,  and  thoroughly  disgusted  with  his 
non-sucDess,  Mr.  Brodrible  transferred  him  to  Donald  "Wal- 
lace for  $3,000.  Titan  afterward  showed  greatly  improved 
form,  although  his  performances  were  not  consistent.  Fol- 
lowing up  his  success  in  the  V.  R.  C.  Handicap,  he  won  the 
Toorak  Handicap,  the  Railway  Handicap,  the  All-aged 
Stakes,  the  Forthwith  Handicap,  and  capped  all  by  subse- 
quently carrying  off  the  A.  J.  C.  Cumberland  Stakes.  Mr- 
Wallace  was  offered  $5,000  for  the  horse  only  a  short  time 
ago,  but  held  him  at  $10,000.  Titan  dropped  dead  after  doing 
a  good  gallop,  caused  presumably  by  heart  disease. 

WrxiziAii  McGtjigan,  Je.,  a  prominent  owner  and  trainer 
of  race  horses,  was  ruled  off  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  five  years 
ago  for  instructing  his  jockey,  J.  Davis,  to  pull  Mechie  H., 
a  mare  trained  in  his  stable,  but  owned  by  Bookmaker  Tom 
Shannon.  Mechie  H.  lost  the  race,  and  mare,  jockey  and 
trainer  were  barred  from  the  turf.  The  executive  committee 
of  the  club  afterward  claimed  they  had  evidence  that  the 
jockey  was  innocent,  being  a  simple-minded  boy,  and  the 
mare  and  jockey  were  reinstated,  but  McGuigan  was  held  un- 
der the  ban.  On  the  3th  the  club  wiped  out  old  scores  and 
reinstated  the  turfman,  who  long  since  disposed  of  his  racing 
interest  and  located  near  Hot  Springs,  Ark.,  where  a  con- 
nection with  politics  put  him  into  the  Legislature.  Having 
received  such  a  token  of  confidence  from  the  people  of  his 
adopted  home,  the  pleadings  of  his  wife  won  the  day  finally 
for  the  old  horseman,  who  is  at  last  in  good  standing  on  the 
running  turf.  McGuigan's  case  was  historical  from  the  fact 
that  he  was  barred  from  both  the  trotting  and  the  running 
turf.  His  expulsion  from  the  former  occurred  in  1875,  and 
was  for  ringing  the  notorious  Small  Hopes,  under  the  names 
of  Lapland,  Westport,  Lyssnder  and  other  aliases.  For  this 
offense  he  still  stands  ruled  off  the  trotting  tnrf. 

Alfy  Lakeland  was  one  of  the  first  to  secure  a  copy  of 
the  Racing  Calendar.  He  glanced  hurriedly  over  the  new 
rules  and  then  turned  to  the  list  of  trainers  and  jockeys  who 
had  secured  licenses.  Down  the  list  his  eyes  glanced,  ex- 
pecting each  instant  to  see  the  name  of  "  Lakeland  A."  But 
the  longed-for  name  was  not  there.  Alf  grew  red  and  white 
by  turns  and  broke  out  in  a  cold  sweat  Then  he  went  over  the 
list  once  more,  this  time  more  carefully.  At  length,  satisfied 
that  what  he  sought  was  not  there,he  broke  down  completely. 
Visions  of  being  on  the  fringe  of  racing  society  without  a 
chance  to  win  any  of  the  rich  plums  made  Alf  very,  very  sad. 
Suddenly  a  thought  struck  him  that  made  his  eyes  dance  like 
those  of  a  darky  who  has  unexpectedly  come  across  a  field  of 
ripe  watermelons.  He  would  hie  himself  to  New  York,  beard 
the  Jockey  Club  and  demand  the  wherefore  and  why  of  his 
name  not  appearing.  He  started  off  as  brave  as  a  lion,  but 
the  nearer  he  approached  his  destination  the  more  his  courage 
began  to  wane,  and  it  was  with  fear  and  knees  knocking  to 
getber  that  he  opened  the  door  of  The  Jockey  Club  rooms. 
It  will  never  be  known,  perhaps,  just  what  Alf  said  to  Secre- 
tary Vosburgh,  but,  whatever  it  was,  it  had  its  weight,  and 
when  he  emerged  his  face  was  all  aglow  and  his  license  was 
in  his  inside  pocket.  Josie's  owner  was  inclined  to  swagger 
and  put  on  frills  because  of  his  achievement,  but  nothing 
he  could  do  or  say  would  make  his  friends  believe  that  he 
had  not  trained  off  considerably  during  the  time  he  was  en 
route  to  The  Jockey  Club,  and  Jimmy  McCormick,  Alf  s  best 
friend,  is  of  this  same  opinion. — Daily  America  and  Mer- 
cury.   

There  was  a  good,  strong  case  of  "  welsh  "  in  the  betting 
ring  at  Cumberland  Park  recently,  and  in  consequence  several 
of  the  heavy  players  still  retain  tickets  calling  for  the  money, 
says  the  Nashville  American  of  last  Sunday.  A  booking  com- 
bination, with  the  name  "  Ridley  "  at  the  head  of  their  slate 
and  one  Wight  man  officiating  as  cashier,  found  themselves 
unable  to  discbarge  the  obligation  incurred  the  day  before  or 
to  do  business  for  the  day  on  account  of  the  absence  of  the 
cashier.  After  waiting  to  the  last  moment  for  Wightman  to 
put  in  an  appearance  they  begun  to  casually  inquire  if  he 
had  been  seen  during  the  morning.  He  had  not,  and  further 
investigation  developed  the  fact  that  the  absent  one  had  made 
a  large  plunge  on  Beatifice  in  the  last  race  the  evening  be- 
fore, which,  of  course,  resulted  disastrously.  The  book  con- 
sequently did  not  go  on  nor  were  the  representatives  present 
able  to  pay  the  markers  due  their  customers,  including  one 
for  $545  held  by  Riley  Grannan,  another  bookmaker.  In- 
quiry developed  that  the  concern  had,  at  the  first  of  the  meet- 
ing, held  out  a  slate  headed  "Conway,"  and  that  a  man 
named  Conway  was  supposed  to  be  putting  up  the  money, 
Wightman  having  an  interest.  Early  in  the  week  there  was 
trouble  over  a  worthless  check  received  by  Secretary  Parmer 
from  the  combination,  and  the  business  name  was  changed  to 
Ridley  after  the  check  had  been  taken  up.  Then  in  a  settle- 
ment with  President  V.  L.  Kirkman  on  Friday,  Wightman 
tendered  a  check  on  a  New  York  bank  for  $250  bearing 
Wight  man's  signature.  A  telegram  to  New  York  concerning 
the  check  elicited  the  information  that  the  bank  knew  no 
such  man.  Wightman  could  not  be  found,  but  Conway 
promises  to  make  everything  good  to-morrow  morning  and 
unless  he  does  he  will  be  prosecuted.  He  is  said  to  hail  from 
Butte  City,  Mont.,  and  to  be  possessed  of  means.  Wightman 
is  knowu  to  have  been  mixed  up  in  numerous  shady  transac- 
tions on  the  race  courses  of  the  country  and  to  have  "welched" 
before  now.  He  is  supposed  to  be  a  native  of  Michigan.  The 
book  was  about  $400  winner  when  Wightman  tost  the  bank 
roll.

The  Purchaser  Must  Be  Suited. 


This  year  promises  to  be  the  best  in  the  history  of  the 
trotting  turf.  From  almost  every  city,  town  and  village 
in  the  United  States  comes  the  cheering  announcement 
that  the  associations  are  offering  more  money  in  purses 
and  stakes  thau  ever  before,  consequently  the  prospects 
for  horsemen  were  never  brighter.  More  horses  are  in 
training,  and  the  class  of  animals  is  superior  to  any 
heretofore  handled  for  speed.  The  value  of  individuality 
and  the  advantage  which  a  pure-gaited  horse  has  over  a 
"  weed  "  that  may  have  a  wonderful  flight  of  speed 
(especially  if  the  latter  is  mixed  gaited  and  has  to  be 
booted  from  elbows  and  hocks  to  the  ground),  is  acknowl- 
edged by  alt; 

For  years  the  farmers  and  breeders  in  America  have 
been  sacrificing  everything  beautiful  about  a  good  horse 
for  speed.  It  a  narrow-chested,  ewe-necked,  ragged- 
hipped  skiver  made  its  appearance  at  a  district  fair,  and 
won  several  races,  farmers  and  breeders  who  had  never 
studied  the  value  of  blood  lines,  did  not  deem  it  neces- 
sary to  ask  bow  the  stranger  was  bred.  As  long  as  the 
horse  trotted  fast,  and  could  win  moDey,  very  little 
attention  was  paid  to  his  breeding,  the  weights  he  car- 
ried on  his  mule-shaped  feet,  or  the  amount  of  boots 
that  hid  the  limbs  of  the  "  speedy  boy."  These  owns 
ers  of  mares  tumbled  over  each  other  to  book  tbem 
to  the  horse.  The  colts  and  fillies  which  followed 
were  "speedy  in  spots,"  but  the  owners  did  not  consider 
the  time  it  took  the  owner  of  the  sire  to  get  his  horse 
steady  and  well  balanced.  The  horse  was  in  some  other 
part  of  the  United  States  earning  money,  but  not  so  much 
as  he  did  in  the  first  town  he  visited,  for  better-bred, 
choicer  individuals  and  pure-gaited  ones  were  his  con- 
testants, and,  when  it  came  to  prolonging  the  race,  the 
fourth  heat  was  the  one  which  made  the  backers  of  the 
"  famous "  Western  trotter  feel  the  cold  chills  chase 
each  other  up  and  down  their  spinal  columns  in  rapid 
succession. 

The  appearance  of  the  celebrity  as  a  "  wonder  "  was 
limited  to  the  class  of  horses  he  had  to  meet ;  finally,  he 
was  lost  sight  of,  and  his  name  and  history  passed  away, 
but  the  progeny  he  left  did  more  harm  to  the  breeding 
interests  of  the  country  he  sojourned  in  than  he  could 
ever  undo,  if  he  lived  to  be  as  old  as  the  hills.  The  faith 
of  the  owners  of  these  colts  and  fillies  was  shaken,  and 
the  hopes  they  entertained  of  owning  a  world-beater — a 
second  Earus — were  destroyed.  Xot  caring  to  stand  the 
ridicule  of  their  neighbors,  and  ashamed  of  the  part  they 
took  in  upholding  the  merits  of  the  unknown  trotting 
sire,  they  sold  the  trotters  and  pacers  for  whatever  they 
would  bring,  and  determined  nevermore  to  engage  in 
trotting-horse  breeding  or  developing.  It  was  a  costly 
and  disappointing  experiment  for  them. 

The  class  of  horses  now  sought  after  by  all  lovers  of 
the  track  and  road  do  not  come  from  a  sire  such  as  the 
one  spoken  of.  The  farmers  and  breeders  who  have 
lived  far  away  from  the  centers  of  trade  and  commerce 
know  as  well  what  is  wanted  by  purchasers  of  fine  stock 
as  those  who  reside  within  a  few  hundred  yards  of  the 
great  auction  marts,  wherein  men  from  all  parts  of  the 
United  States  and  Europe  assemble  to  bid  and  purchase 
the  animals  most  suitable  to  their  wants.  The  cause  of 
their  enlightenment  on  thissubject  can  be  attributed  to  the 
dissemination  of  good  ideas  found  in  the  readable 
weekly  turf  journals  which  publish  illustrations  of  the 
leading  performers  on  the  turf,  aud  the  sires  and  dams 
that  are  becoming  more  and  more  famous  every  year. 
The  articles  by  students  of  form,  owners,  trainers  and 
enthusiasts  who  are  always  advancing  ideas  for  the  con 
templation  of  all  thinking  horsemen  have,  like  good  seed, 
fallen  upon  rich  soil  and  yielded  a  bountiful  harvest. 
The  advertisements  of  the  leading  stock  farms  are  valu- 
able and  furnish  food  for  thought  also,  hence  it  is  a  pleas- 
ure to  approach  a  gathering  of  horsemen,  young  and  old, 
at  any  of  our  district  fairs  and  hear  them  discussing  the 
merits  of  the  leading  families  of  trotters  and  pacers.  The 
farmer's  son  takes  as  much  delight  in  reading  about  the 
beauty,  style,  intelligence,  speed  and  frictionless  gait  of 
the  champions,  as  he  does  in  the  appearance  of  the  new- 
born foal  on  the  farm. 

The  bond  of  sympathy  which  binds  hortemen  together 
is  different  from  any  other.  The  excellence  of  the  dif- 
ferent families  or  breeds  of  trotters  forces  itself  upon  all 
alike, and  the  strongest  prejudices  which  are  so  often  found 
among  those  who  breed  dogs  or  cattle  becomes  harmless 
when  line  horses  are  spoken  of.  The  perfect  horse  has 
never  appeared,and  the  struggle  'ohave  one  as  near  per- 
fection as  possible  enlists  all  energies,  arouses  ambitions 
and  causes- breeders,  be  they  rich)  or  poor,  to  study 
the  problem  of  getting  an  animal   that   will  be  the  per- 


sonification, if  we  may  use  the  terra,  of  all   that  their 
fondest  hopes  have  fancied. 

The  breeding  industry  is  in  its  infancy  to-day,  while 
the  development  of  trotters  and  pacers  has  outgrown  it, 
but  the  time  is  not  far  distant  when  a  perfect  type  of 
American  trotter  will  be  found  in  every  land  and  his 
merits  be  praised  by  every  nation.  The  day  for  breeding 
scrubs  has  passed  and  to  the  public's  intelligent  de- 
nouncement of  this  class  of  horses  during  the  past  few 
years,  too  much  credit  can  not,  and  never  will,  be  given. 
Breed  for  the  best,  to  the  best  and  the  best  will  be  yours, 
this  must  be  the  guiding  star  of  every  horse-breeder  in  the 
land.  Then,  and  not  till  then,  will  the  purchasers  of 
ideal  horses  be  suited. 


Next  Tuesday's  Sale, 


The  superiority  of  the  choice  trotting  stock  to  be  sold 
by  auction  next  Tuesday  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm 
is  acknowledged  by  all  Who  have  read  the  catalogues, 
and  still  more  so  by  those  who  have  had  the  pleasure  of 
seeing  the  broodmares,  colts  and  fillies.  Never 
in  the  history  of  trotting  on  this  coast  has  there  been 
such  an  offering,  and  as  the  depression  in  prices  for  stock, 
the  stringency  of  the  money-market,  and  the  over  supply 
of  trotting  stock,  are  all  factors  which  will  prevent  those 
attending  the  sale  from  bidding  lively,  many  rare  bar- 
gains will  be  secured  by  those  who  have  foresight  to 
know  that  the  present  condition  of  the  stock  and 
money  market  cannot  last  long.  Representatives  of 
the  great  Guy  Wilkes  family  (a  family  whose  name  is 
above  reproach  for  excellence  in  every  respect),  will  find 
homes  on  our  coast,  where  they  will  be  as  highly  appre- 
ciated as  any  of  their  near  relatives  on  the  great 
stock  farms  in  the  East. 

The  broodmares  are  individually  fine,  and  the  excel- 
lent judgment  of  Wm.  Corbitt  in  breeding  and  selecting 
such  matrons  will  be  commended  when  they  are  brought 
into  the  salesring.  The  reputation  of  the  San  Mateo 
Stock  Farm  broodmares  are  known  wherever  trotters  are 
developed. 

The  young  stallions  to  be  sold  are  race  horse9,  and  if 
they  fall  into  proper  hands  will  make  money  for  their 
owners  in  any  company.  They  are  young,  speedy  and 
exceedingly  well  bred — just  the  kind  to  make  valuable 
sires  when  their  days  of  track  work  end.  We  could  fill 
columns  in  praise  of  the  entire  lot  to  be  sold,  but  prefer 
to  see  everyone  who  can  spare  the  day  from  business, 
take  the  cars  at  8:15  and  10:40  at  the  depot,  Third 
and  Townsend  streets,  next  Tuesday  morning  for  the 
farm,  and  then  see  and  judge  for  themselves. 


Golden  Gate  Speed   Track. 

Since  the  Park  Commissioners  have  had  the  famous 
speed  track  covered  with  clay  it  has  been  well  patronized 
with  roadsters,  and  many  an  exciting  "brush"  is  had 
over  its  smooth  surface.  It  has  been  suggested  that  a 
neat  shed  be  built  at  the  further  terminus  of  the  road, 
wherein  horses  that  have  been  warmed  enough  to  be 
"scraped"  should  have  a  place  to  be  attended  to  properly. 
The  road  from  the  track  to  the  city  is  a  long  and  windy 
one,  and  overheated  horses  coming  home  often  get 
chilled,  with  fatal  results.  Such  a  place  as  we  suggest, 
would  be  appreciated  by  horsemen  more  than  anything 
else  that  could  be  built.  The  Commissioners  are  taking 
pains  to  keep  the  track  in  better  condition  now,  and 
complaints  of  its  unevenness  are  never  heard.  Should  the 
surface  become  rough  and  full  of  holes,  would  it  not  be  a 
good  idea  to  have  a  good  road  scraper  and  track  harrow 
constantly  at  work  ?  One  man  with  a  team  of  horses 
could  make  this  mile  course  second  to  no  other  in  the 
United  States  for  speeding  trotters  or  pacers  over.  We 
trust  the  Commissioners  will  give  these  subjects  their  at- 
tention. 


The  latest  advice  from  thoroughbred  circles  in  the  East 
is  to  the  effect  that  "  war,  never-ending  war  "  is  to  be 
waged  against  the  promoters  of  the  sport  there.  In 
New  York,  the  leading  horsemen  are  trying  to  under- 
stand what  will  be  the  next  move  on  the  chess  board  of 
politics  and  gambling.  Judge  Roger  Pryor,  who  pre- 
sides over  the  Court  of  Common  Pleas,  has  made  his 
name  more  famous  than  he  did  in  war  times  by  deciding 
that  the  Ives  pool  law  is  unconstitutional.  If  the  prohi- 
bitive fever  spreads  as  far  west  as  this  coast,  there  is  one 
consolation    for   all — it  can   go  no  farther  west. 


In  Los  Angeles,  great  preparations  will  be   made  this 
year  to  have  the  best  trotting  and  pacing  races  ever  heli 
in  that  lively  place.     The  people  in  that  portion  of  Cali- 
fornia are  good_  patrons  of  racing.

The  New  Racing  Association. 

The  foundation  of  a  new  racing  association  in  this 
State,  composed  exclusively  of  owners,  breeders  and 
trainers  of  thoroughbreds  is  the  latest  news  in  turf 
circles.  The  holding  of  such  along  meeting  in  California, 
as  the  one  to  close  May  26th,  compels  horse-owDers  to 
keep  their  stock  "  keyed  up"  the  whole  year.  As  the 
race  meeting  under  the  auspices  of  the  California  Jockey 
Club  will  re-open  October  27th,  horseowners  and  train- 
ers claim,  and  with  authority,  too,  that  thoroughbreds,  if 
thrown  out  of  training  and  turned  out  to  pasture,  become 
fat  and  consequently  very  "  soft,"  and  to  change  their 
adipose  tissue  to  muscle  aad  harden  the  animals  for  rac- 
ing purposes  in  a  short  space  of  time  is  not  only  unsafe, 
but  it  is  also  unwise. 

These  men  claim  that  a  little  work  every  day  (enough 
to  keep  the  youngsters  in  condition),  with  a  run  on  the 
grass  and  the  substitution  of  good  oat  hay  for  oats  will 
keep  their  horses  in  splendid  fix  for  the  preparatory 
work  which  must  be  given  them  previous  to  racing.  To 
let  up  on  the  race  horses  until  next  winter  will  be  a 
hardship  these  men  cannot  stand.  The  majority  have 
not  made  the  money  they  expected  at  the  Bay  District 
track,  and  the  idea  of  forming  an  association  among 
themselves  to  go  on  the  circuit  independent  of  the  dis- 
trict fairs  and  give  races  is  one  that  meets  with  their 
approval.  With  a  good  live  president,  secretary  and 
board  of  directors  to  make  all  arrangements  and  conduct 
the  meetings  in  a  fair  and  creditable  manner  is  the 
desire  of  all.  They  will  have  from  400  to  500  of  the 
best  horses  at  the  Bay  District  track,  and,by  giving  good 
races  in  cities  where  important  race  meetings  have 
never  been  given,  an  interest  will  be  aroused  that  will 
be  conducive  to  the  prosperity  of  this  great  branch  of 
the  horse  industry. 

The  matter  must  be  gone  about  right,  however,  if  any 
measure  of  success  is  to  be  attained.  Men  of  the  very 
best  standing  must  be  asked  to  come  in,  and  there  is  no 
occasion  to  rush  things.  The  State  must  be  thoroughly 
canvassed,  and  such  prominent  breeders  as  Theodore 
Winters,  S.  G.  Reed,  Col.  H.  I.  Thornton,  Col.  D.  M. 
Burns,  Clarence  Waterhouse,  J.  B.  Haggin,  John  Mac- 
key,  L.  U.  Shippee,  W.  O'B.  Macdonough  and  other 
prominent  breeders,  staunch  supporters  of  the  turf, 
should  by  all  means  be  urged  to  join  the  movement 
(which  is  in  the  right  direction)  if  possible.  The  com- 
mittee appointed  by  Chairman  W.  F.  Smith  on  solicita- 
tion of  memberships  should  be  enlarged  to  at  least 
twelve,  and  embrace  a  few  of  the  leading  men  mentioned 
above,  with  the  addition  of  some  of  the  more  prominent 
trainers  of  the  State.  There  is,  too,  no  necessity  for 
holding  the  initial  meeting  in  this  vicinity,  as  the  people 
have  had  almost  a'surfeit  of  racing  during  the  past  few 
months;  in  fact,  it  seems  to  U3  the  greatest  of  folly  to  at- 
tempt it,  under  the  circumstances.  The  safer  ana  better 
course,  perhaps,  is  not  to  effect  a  permanent  organiza- 
tion until  the  State  has  been  well  canvassed,  the  views 
of  all  interested  parties  obtained,  and  their  active  sup- 
port secured. 

The  circuit  will  be  limited  to  the  Pacific  Coast.  Neva- 
da, Arizona,  Oregon  and  Washington  will  be  visited  by 
these  gentlemen.  Great  care  will  be  exercised  by  its 
promoters  that  the  odium  cast  upon  the  sport  in  the  past 
by  unscrupulous  tricksters  will  not  be  reflected  upon 
them  in  their  peregrinations.  The  eyes  of  every  lover  of 
race  horses  from  Maine  to  the  Rocky  Mountains  and 
from  Vancouver  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  are  upon  Califor- 
nia, and  the  day  is  not  far  distant  when  this  State  will 
divide  honors  with  the  blue  gras3  region  of  Kentucky  as 
the  birthplace  of  equine  kings  and  queens  and  the  bat- 
tle ground  upon  which  will  appear  the  fastest  represen- 
tatives of  the  greatest  horse-breeding  and  racing  centers 
in  the  civilized  world.

Board  of  Appeals. 


malefactor  mend  his  ways  as  to  make  the  proverbial  leopard 
change  his  spots.  The  practice  of  re-instating,  after  a  brief 
period  of  purgatorial  probation,  persoDS  expelled  for  fraud, 
exerts  a  baneful  influence,  in  that  it  holds  up  before  the 
mental  vision  of  .the  man  about  to  engage  in  a  fradulent 
"  deal  "  the  prospects  of  eventual  restoration  to  the  privileges 
of  the  harness  tracks.  It  is  a  part  of  the  turf  law,  written 
and  unwritten,  that  no  re-instatement  can  be  accomplished 
until  the  member  imposing  the  expulsion  gives  its  consent  to 
the  removal  of  the  ban.  It  is  therefore  plain  that  such  con- 
sent must  first  have  been  had  and  obtained  before  the  recent 
re-instatements  should  have  been  ordered.  Tuis  confronts  us 
again  with  the  necessity  of  removing  from  individual  mem- 
bers the  power  of  imposing  the  extreme  penalty  and  vesting 
it  solely  in  the  parent  organization,  giving  in  its  plaee  the 
right  to  order  suspension  only  till  such  time  as  the  Boards  of 
Appeals  or  review  meet  for  the  trial  of  such  cases.  If  the 
person  suspended  is  found  guilty,  let  him  be  expelled  for  life. 
With  the  pronouncing  of  such  a  sentence  all  hopes  of  restor- 
ation to  the  franchises  of  the  turf  would  be  lo3t,  and  the  ex- 
ample set  would  be  decidedly  more  wholesome  than  it  is  at 
present,  when  re-instatement  may  be  procured  in  a  few  years 
at  most. — Horseman. 

Death  of  Cartridge,  2:14 1-*2. 


Denver  Notes. 


The  re-instatement  by  the  Board  of  Appeals  of  several  per- 
ons  expelled  from  the  tracks  under  the  control  of  the  Ameri- 
an  Trotting  Association  is  to  be  regretted.  There  are,  it  is 
rue,  circumstances  which,  from  time  to  time,  warrant  the 
arf  courts  in  tempering  justice  with  mercy  ;  but  in  the  case 
f  a  driver,  owner  or  agent,  expelled  for  fraud,  the  ruling 
boaid  be  final,  providing  the  defendent,  at  some  subsequent 
ate,  does  not  by  satisfactory  evidence  entirely  exculpate 
imself.  It  is  seldom  that  any  man  actually  engaged  on  the 
irf  becomes  entangled  in  wrong-doing  except  of  his  own 
I  olition,  and  so  long  as  he  deliberately  becomes  a  party  to 
•audulent  transactions  it  is  by  no  means  likely  that  a  period 
f  enforced  abstinence  from  the  practice  of  his  profession 
ill  work  any  very  greatly  desirable  change  in  his  character. 
[en  do  repent,  but,  as  a  rule,  it  is  as  hard  to  make  the  turf 


While  exercising  at  Coldwater,  Michigan,  May  1st,  Walk- 
er's celebrated  stallion  Cartridge,  2:14£,  became  frightened, 
and  kicking  himself  loose,  ran  away,  tearing  off  the  left  hind 
foot.  He  had  to  be  chloroformed  to  death  to  put  him  out  of 
misery.  Cartridge  was  a  very  valuable  animal,  and  compe- 
tent horsemen  were  confident  his  record  would  have  beeD 
materially  reduced  this  season.  He  was  entered  all  through 
the  grand  circuit. 

Cartridge  was  eight  years  old  and  was  bred  by  Robert  Bon- 
ner, of  New  York  city,  being  sired  by  Eldridge,  a  horse  of 
Mr.  Bonner's  own  breeding,  and  out  of  Lady  rttout,  2:29,  the 
famous  daughter  of  Mambrino  Patchen,  that  was  the  first 
three-year-old  to  trot  below  2:30.  Two  years  ago  Cartridge, 
then  with  a  record  of  2:29£,  was  consigned  to  one  of  the  pub- 
licsales  at  the  American  Institute  in  New  York  and  was  pur- 
chased at  a  low  figure  byE.  C.  Walker,  managing  editor  of 
the  Horseman,  of  Chicago,  who  sent  him  to  his  brother  liv- 
ing in  Michigan.  The  campaign  made  by  Cartridge  last  year 
did  not  open  particularly  well,  but  closed  in  a  blaze  of  glory. 
He  started  in  eight  races  and  only  won  three  of  the  number 
and  about  $4,000  in  purse  money.  He  won  a  good  race  the 
last  day  of  the  meeting  at  Washington  Park,  the  fastest  heat 
being  in  2:17  J,  which  was  his  first  winning  race  of  the  season. 
He  followed  this  with  victories  at  Indianapolis  and  Terre 
Haute,  trotting  three  heats  at  the  latter  place  in  2:15£,  2:14£ 
and  2:15£.  His  greatest  race,  however,  was  his  last  appear- 
ance at  Lexington  in  October  when  he  won  second  money  iu 
the  $5,000  stake  that  went  to  Harrietta  in  2:19^,2:11^-  and 
2:094.  In  this  race  he  defeated  for  place  such  good  horses  as 
Trevillian,  Phcebe  Wilkes,  David  B.,  Cicerone  and  others, 
and  gave  every  promise  of  developing  into  one  of  the  stars  of 
1894.  He  was  one  of  the  contestants  named  in  the  2:15  stake 
to  be  trotted  at  Washington  Park  next  August  and  his  death 
will  detract  somewhat  from  the  interest  in  that  event. 


■•  Will  You  Attend  trie  Sale?" 


This  query  is  heard  on  every  side  followed  by  the  ques- 
tion :  "What  sale?'1  Well,  to  settle  all  disputes  it  is  safe 
to  say,  "  the  sale  of  the  year  at  Corbitt's  San  Mateo  Stock 
Farm  next  Tuesday."  The  opportunities  to  get  finely-formed 
producing  broodmares  bred  in  the  most  fashionable  lines  and 
in  foal  to  representatives  of  the  great  Wilkes  family  may 
never  be  the  lot  of  breeders  and  trainers  in  California,  Ore- 
gon, Washington  or  Nevada  again.  Every  one  who  loves  a 
game  race  horse  that  is  descended  on  both  paternal  and  ma- 
ternal sides  from  sound  individuals  which  have  all  the  quali- 
fications so  eagerly  sought  after  by  buyers  to-day,  will  try  and 
be  there.  Bargains  will  be  secured.  Mr.  Corbitt  is  deter- 
mined to  let  every  animal  go  to  the  highest  bidder.  He 
wants  to  see  his  stock  scatter  among  horsemen  who  know 
how  to  appreciate  good  trotters  when  they  have  them.  There 
are  two  stallions  here,  Veto  and  Native  State,  that  should 
find  a  place  on  some  stock  farm.  After  their  campaigning 
is  over,  bred  and  gaited  as  they  are,  they  should  make 
sires  of  early  and  extreme  speed. 

The  sale  will  commence  at  ten  o'clock  sharp,  and  the  ani- 
mals will  be  sold  in  their  order  in  the  catalogue. 


A  Valuable  "Work. 


"  The  Morgan  Horse  "  is  the  title  of  a  new  book  on  this 
noted  breed  of  horses,  advance  Bheets  of  which  are  at  hand. 
It  is  now  in  press  and  will  be  published  about  June  1  by  the 
author,  Joseph  Battel  1,  of  Middlebury,  Vt.  Including  sev- 
enty-five pages  of  illustrations,  it  will  make  a  volume  of  1,169 
pages,  printed  on  fine  paper  and  handsemely  bound  in  half 
morocco,  and  will  sell  at  $5.  The  preface  shows  the  scope 
and  aim  of  the  work,  which  is  largely  to  show  what  has  been 
done  by  breeding  carefully.  The  breeder  works  upon  two 
principles,  or  rather  two  laws,  so  well  known  that  any  raiser 
of  any  kind  of  stock  can  notafiord  to  disregard  them.  These 
laws  are  heredity  and  prepotency,  the  latter  being  the  power 
which  exists  very  strongly  in  certain  animals  to  stamp  cer- 
tain qualities  upon  their  offspring.  This  book  gives  the  re- 
sults obtained  by  attention  to  these  laws.  It  is  well  written 
in  an  interesting  manner,  if  one  may  judge  from  advance 
sheets,  and  all  horse  breeders  will  find  this  work  on  "  The 
Morgan  Horse"  to  be  of  much  value.  Joseph  Battell  is  one 
of  the  best  writers  on  the  Morgan  horses  in  America  and  has 
made  this  breed  of  horses  a  life-long  study.  This  book  will 
be  considered  a  standard  work. 


Charter  Oak  Declared  Off. 


Hartford  (Conn.),  May  12.— After  an  unbroken  run  of 
contests  for  the  Charter  Oak  $10,000  stake  for  nearly  a  dozen 
years,  this  year  will  see  the  break.  Secretary  Loomis,  of  the 
Charter  Oak  Driving  Park  Association,  announces  that  the 
race  has  been  declared  off  on  account  of  the  lack  of  entries. 
There  are  twenty-five  entries  for  the  Connecticut $5,000  race 
for  four-year-olds  and  twenty-nine  entries  for  the  $20,000 
Nutmeg  stake  for  three-year-olds.  For  the  other  races  on 
the  card  of  the  grand  circuit  meeting  the  last  week  in  August 
there  are  already  114  entries,  and  the  lists  are  not  yet  com- 
pleted. 


Willis  F.  Hall,  writes  the  Chicago  Horseman  thus  from 
Denver,  Col.,  under  date  April  30:  There  is  plenty  of  life 
around  Overland  Park  at  the  present  time.  More  than  150 
horses  are  in  training  there,  getting  ready  for  the  spring  cam- 
paign, which  will  open  for  them  here  in  Denver.  Of  course 
most  of  them  are  owned  in  Denver.  The  Overland  Park  Club 
decided  in  February  to  place  the  management  of  the  spring 
meeting  in  the  hands  of  the  DuBois  brothers,  and  tbey  de- 
cided the  meeting  should  be  devoted  in  great  measure  to  har- 
ness racing.  Twenty-five  thousand  dollars  will  be  given  in 
stakes  and  purses,  and  the  meeting  will  last  seven  days,  be- 
ginning June  9.  It  is  now  assured  that  the  meeting  will  be 
a  great  success.  It  has  been  the  experience  here  that  people 
will  turn  out  better  to  a  mixed  meeting  than  anything  else, 
but  the  sentiment  is  more  in  favor  of  the  trotters.  In  the 
program  as  originally  made  out  there  were  nineteen  stake 
races,  and  of  the  nineteen  all  but  one  filled,  the  number  of 
entries  varying  from  eleven  in  the  two-year -old  trot  to  twen- 
ty-three in  the  3:00  trot.  If  numbers  were  the  only  things  to 
be  considered  this  would  give  ample  assurance  of  having 
plenty  of  horses  here,  but  the  endeavor  has  been  to  get  as 
gooi  horses  as  possible  for  the  meeting.  Among  the  names 
on  the  list  is  that  of  M.  Salisbury,  who  has  a  large  number 
of  horses  entered,  the  most  prominent  being  Flying  Jib  in  the 
free-for-all  pace.  DuBois  Bros,  have  entered  W.  W.  P.  for 
this  race  also,  and  if  the  two  meet  the  time  made  should  be 
the  fastest  ever  seen  on  this  track.  Last  year  W.  W.  P.  went 
an  exhibition  mile  here  at  the  close  of  the  season  in  2:12|, 
which  is  the  best  mile  for  trotter  or  pacer  ever  made  in  this 
State.  The  performance  is  more  creditable  from  the  fact  that 
the  track  was  very  slow,  not  having  been  in  use  all  summer 
and  having  been  hastily  put  in  shape  for  half  a  day's  sport. 
In  a  race  at  Nashville,  Tenn.,  he  made  a  mark  of  2:10},  and 
as  he  will  have  Kelly  as  driver  this  year,  better  work  than 
ever  is  expected  from  him.  Besides  W.  W.  P.,  DuBois  Bros, 
have  entered  Yolo  Maid.  Last  year  she  did  not  do  much  on 
account  of  going  lame,  but  she  has  wintered  well,  and  is  ex- 
pected to  do  good  work  this  season.  C-  H.  Briggs,  of  Omaha, 
has  entered  Newsboy,  2:12J,  in  the  free-for-all  pace.  This 
horse  was  here  three  years  ago  and  lowered  his  mark  below 
2:20.  E.  D.  Gould,  of  Fullerton,  Neb.,  has  Online  and  Fred 
K.  entered,  and  besides  all  these  mentioned  there  are  nine 
others  named  for  the  race.  The  indications  are  that  it  will 
be  the  biggest  event  of  the  kind  ever  seen  here. 

Santa  Maria  Track  Notes, 

Sam  Brannan  is  taking  some  slow  work  out  on  the  road. 

Wm.  Mead's  mare  shows  considerable  speed,  but  is  still  a 
little  unsteady  as  yet. 

Mr.  Langholz's  Eose  Bud  is  improving  very  fast.  He 
went  through  the  stretch  yesterday  in  0:40. 

Mr.  Yelkins'  Othello  colt  surprised  the  talent  by  running 
a  quarter  in  0:24J,  a  remartable  run  for  this  time  of  the 
year. 

Minnie  C,  in  Mr.  Lierly's  string,  worked  a  mile  in  2:51 
very  bandy.  Morganti  B-  and  Examiner  are  also  doing  good 
work. 

Geo.  Phoenix's  colt  Bancocas,  a  two-year-old  by  Tokio,  out 
of  Adjutant's  dam,  is  a  slashing-looking  fellow,  and  in  Mr. 
Fisher's  hands  should  give  a  good  account  of  himself. 

Bullrush,  a  two-year-old  by  Moses  B.,  dam  by  Red  Bird,  is 
one  of  the  first  of  Moses'  colts  to  be  trained.  He  is  a  hand- 
some little  fellow,  and  his  jockey,  "Crip"  Williams,  says  he 
is  "  hot  stuff." 

Moses  Byran  brought  down  Moses  B.  last  week.  He  will 
finish  up  the  season  before  he  goes  into  active  trainiog.  He 
seems  to  have  forgotten  his  old  tantrums  and  is  as  docile  as  a 
kitten.     C.  Vanina  is  his  iockey. 

On  workout  mornings  the  race  track  presents  a  very  lively 
appearance.  Last  Saturday  all  the  local  touts  were  out,  with 
their  watches  wound  up  ready  to  snap  them  on  the  first  horse 
that  passed  under  the  wire.  The  equine  population  is  on  the 
increase. 

There  will  be  a  foot  race  100  yards  to-day  (Saturday)  at  2 
p.  m.  at  the  race  track,  for  a  purse  of  $50,  between  Ed  Wood- 
son and  R.  Edrington.  The  boys  are  very  evenly  matched 
and  should  make  an  exciting  race  — Pneumatic,  in  Santa 
Maria  Times. 

Jack  Fisher  has  taken  up  his  headquarters  at  the  track 
with  his  string,and  showed  that  Annie  Rooney  was  not  a  back 
number,  by  working  her  a  quarter  in  38  with  plenty  to  spare, 
which  is  the  best  that  has  been  trotted  on  the  track  this  year. 
Don't  forget  to  have  a  ticket  on  this  mare  when  she  starts. 

At   Agricultural    Park. 

This  morning  a  Petaluma  reporter  accompanied  Marshal 
Collins  over  to  Agricultural  Park  behind  a  team  of  the 
American  Stable's  speediest  trotters,  and  the  activity  and 
bustle  apparent  at  the  track  greatly  and  very  agreeably  sur- 
prised him. 

The  track  is  in  a  fine  condition — in  fact,  was  never  better 
than  it  is  just  now,  and  it  is  evident  that  the  horsemen  are 
becoming  aware  of  the  fact,  judging  from  the  numerous  addi- 
tions that  have  been  made  to  the  list  of  trainen  and  horses 
at  the  p:irk  during  the  present  month. 

This  morning  fully  a  dozen  horses  were  on  the  track 
while  the  writer  was  there,  and  quite  a  large  number  of 
spectators  were  interested  iu  the  work  being  done  by  the 
four-footed  sprinters. 

Ben  Bowman  had  a  Hambletonian-Nutwood  filly  be- 
longing to  Charles  Northrup  out  on  the  track,  and  if  ap- 
pearances indicate  anything  she  will  be  a  wonder. 

Ed  Locke,  who  trains  for  I.  De  Turk  of  Santa  Rosa,  had  a 
big,  strong  Anteeo  out  for  exercise,  and  the  way  he  spurted 
made  the  spectators  open  their  eyes. 

W.  E.  Bowen  sent  his  white-faced  sidewheeler  a  fast  mile 
Half  a  dozen  watches  caught  the  time  at  2:30,  and  the  horse 
appeared  to  be  taking  bis  ease  all  the  time. 

James  Cochrane  had  several  youngsters  out  for  theirjnorn- 
ing  exercise,  and  he  has  some  very  promising  colts  in  his 
string. 

Altogether  the  hour  spent  at  the  track  was  a  very  enjoy- 
able one,  and  it  is  surprising  to  realize  that  more  ofoor  peo- 
ple do  not  visit  this  beautiful  place  (which  is  now  at  its  best) 
and  spend  an  hour  or  two  in  the  morning  watching  the 
horses  at  work.  It  certainly  is  pleasant  amusement. — Im-

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


Belle  of  Kurness,  the  dam  of  Monk  of  Fumess,Sau  Simon 
and  Royal  Sam  died  a  few  weeks  ago. 

The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's   Association  have  been 
admitted  to  membership  to  the  American  Kennel  Club. 

That  good  St.  Bernard  bitch  Ellen  Terry  is  dead.     She 
died  of  puerperal  fever  four  days  after  whelping  to  Ebora- 


Mrs.  Smyth,  proprietress  of  the  Swiss  Mountain  Kennels, 
has  lost  by  death  the  St.  Bernards  Castor  of  Contoocook  and 
Rosabel.  

J.  H.  Salter's  grand  old  field  trial  winner,  the  pointer  bitch 
Malt,  by  Mike — Romp,  died  last  March  at  the  ripe  age  of 
thirteen  years.  

Lord  Lonsdale  and  other  noblemen  have  become  patrons 
of  the  National  Whippet  Club,  and  Mrs.  Langtry  and  other 
ladies  are  taking  up  the  sport. 

J.  B.  Martin  has  presented  to  J.  A.  Sargent  the  fox  terrier 
bitch  Golden  Sunset,  by  Starden's  King — Champion  Blemton 
Brilliant.  She  is  in  whelp  to  Blemton  Reefer,  and  the  pro- 
duce should  be  heard  of  at  future  shows. 

We  publish  in  another  column  an  apology  from  Mr.  Huber 
to  Dr.  Regensberger.  This  is  as  it  should  be.  A  manly 
apology  is  always  in  older.  By  the  way,  Dr.  Regensberger 
has  withdrawn  his  charges  against  Mr.  Huber,  before  the 
Paci6c Kennel  Club.         

The  deaths  from  distemper  of  several  fox  terriers  recently 
has  been  a  severe  loss  to  their  owners.  D.  Shannon  has  lost 
three  of  the  Ripon  Stormer-Judy  litter,  one  of  which  was  very 
promising-  J.  B.  Martin  lost  a  Blemton  Reefer — Rejoice 
dog  pup,  and  the  bitch  Golden  Sunshine,  by  Blemton  Reefer 
— Blemton  Rapture.  This  was  a  very  nice  one;  and  was  de- 
veloping into  a  good  show  bitch. 

The  Long  Island  Railroad  knows  how  to  charge  for  carry- 
ing a  dog,  and  the  experience  of  German  Hopkins  who 
brought  a  terrier  to  New  York  with  him  is  the  experience  of 
many.  German's  fare  was  60  cents,  and  the  charge  for  the 
dog  was  75  cents.  Of  course  there  was  an  argument,  and 
German  said  :  "  I  know  he  is  a  good  one,  but  I  didn't  know 
he  was  worth  more  than  me." — Turf,  Field  and  Farm. 


Experts  outside  the  show  ring  differ  as  much  as  judges. 
It  must  be  consoling,  at  least  to  the  gentlemen  whose  judg- 
ments are  criticized,  to  find  that  the  critics  cannot  always 
agree.  Readers  must  take  their  choice  which  to  place  their 
trust  in.  There  is  one  thing  to  note  in  this  connection  and 
that  is,  if  we  all  held  like  opinions,  dog  shows  would  drop  out 
of  existence.— A.  K.  R.,  June,  1883.

Forest  aod  Stream  of  May  12  contains  the  following  para- 
graph : 

The  season  closes  with  a  rather  more  than  usual  amount 
of  gossip  regarding  passing  events.  The  disqualification  of 
George  Bell  is  the  result  of  a  fafeeas  /aire  policy  on  his  part 
that  is  past  explanation.  The  circumstances  of  the  case  are 
brieHy:  That  Mr.  Bell  bought  a  consignment  of  dogs  from  Mr. 
Granger's  kennels  when  the  latter  gave  up  breeding.  Among 
them  were  Rejoice  and  Blemton  Consequence,  an  old  winner. 
Mr.  Martin  of  San  Francisco  negotiated  for  the  sale  of  Con- 
sequence, as  he  supposed,  heavy  in  whelp  to  Dusky  Trap. 
Mr.  Bell  thinks  Consequence  is  Rejoice,  and  vice  twrsa,  and 
the  result  is  Rejoice  is  shipped  to  San  Francisco  within  a 
few  days  of  whelping,  slips  and  probably  eaU  her  puppies  on 
the  way,  and  Mr.  Martin  brings  charges  against  Bell  for 
selling  a  bitch  purporting  to  be  in  whelp  when  she  was  not 
so.  Meanwhile  at  the  Toronto  show  Mr.  Bell  showed  Conse- 
quence as  Rejoice,  supposing  she  was  that  bitch.  Along 
comes  Mr.  Hopkins  and  saw  the  bitch,  recognizes  her  as 
Consequence,  and  so  informed  Mr.  Bell  of  the  discovery.  The 
case  was  afterward  brought  to  the  Kennel  Club's  and  Mr.  Mar- 
tin's notice.  1 1 im  Grat  charge  fell  through,  as  it  was  proved 
the  bitch  was  in  whelp;  hut  as  Mr  Hell  took  no  steps  after- 
ward to  rectify  the  mistake  he  had  made  about  the  two 
bitches,  though  given  ample  time  and  opportunity  to  do  so; 
the  club  thought  a  little  discipline  was  necessary,  and  Mr. 
Bell  will  retire  for  one  year. 

In  the  above  the  editor  states  that  it  was  proven  that  the 
bitch  was  In  whelp.  He  hIso  states  as  a  fact  that  the  bitch 
slipped  or  probably  ate  her  pups  in  transit.  We  |know  the 
editor  to  be  a  practical  dog  man-  We  saw  the  bitch  on  her 
arrival  here,  acd  she  did  not  show  the  slightest  sign  of  hav- 
ing slipped  any  pups  or  of  having  been  in  whelp.  She  cer- 
tainly w:it  not  in  whelput  that  time.  We  would  like  to  ask 
the  kennel  editor  of  Forest  and  Stream  if  a  bitch  can  whelp 
today  and  to  morrow  show  no  sign  of  it.  It  is  an  utter  im* 
,  Lhe  bitch  did  not  whelp  in  transit,  and  was 
not  in  whelp  when  she  left  her  home,  the  A.K.C.  to  the 
contrary  notwithstanding. 


The  many  friends  of  T.  J.  Wattson,  the  English  setter 
breeder,  will  learn  with  regret  that  his  bitch  Alice  Glad- 
stone, by  Dan  Gladstone — Mias  Alice,  was  killed  by  the  elec- 
tric cars  on  Monday  evening  last.  Alice  Gladstone  was  a 
sister  to  the  well-known  Starlight. 

Dr.  A.  T.  Regensberger's  litter  of  St.  Bernards  by  Reglov 
— Cleopatra  are  said  to  be  a  beautiful  lot,  well  marked,  with 
excellent  bone  and  of  splendid  size.  This  litter  stamps  Rez- 
lov  as  a  successful  producer,  and  we  trust  that  they  will  prove 
equal  in  quality  to  what  they  are  in  quantity. 

American  Kennel  Club. 


The  regular  quarterly  meeting  of  the  American  Kennel 
Club  was  held  at  Madison  Square  Garden  on  May  3d  last. 
The  Louisville  Kennel  Club  and  Alameda  County  Sports- 
men's Association  were  admitted  to  membership. 

The  Secretary  reported  a  balance  of  $2,362.58  on  hand. 

The  Advisory  Committee  rendered  its  decision  on  the  J.  B. 
Martin  vs.  Geo.  Bell  case  and  ordered  that  Geo.  Bell  be  dis- 
qualified for  the  term  of  one  year  from  date,  the  committee 
having  found  him  guilty  of  misconduct  in  connection  with 
dogs. 

Dr.  L.  W.  Sattler  was  disqualified  for  misconduct  in  con- 
nection with  dogs  at  the  N.  J.  Kennel  League  show. 

The  Philadelphia  Kennel  Club  were  welcomed  back  into 
the  folds  of  the  A.  K.  C. 

The  matter  of  the  communication  from  the  Pacific  Kennel 
Club,  concerning  the  expulsion  of  it  of  E.  P.  Schell  for  dis- 
honorable conduct  in  the  Bale  of  a  dog,  being  next  in  order, 
Dr.  Foote  moved  that  the  action  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club 
be  indorsed  by  the  American  Kennel  Club.  Motion  sec- 
onded. 

Mr.  Schellhass :  I  move  that  Mr.  E.  P.  Schell  be  suspended, 
and  that  the  Secretary  notify  him  that  unless  he  puts  in  a 
defense  within  thirty  days  said  suspension  will  merge  into  a 
disqualification.     Motion  seconded  and  carried. 

As  the  following  discussion  is  of  great  interest  to  all  dog 
fanciers,  we  quote  it  in  full : 

Mr.  Vredenburgh  :  As  a  member  of  the  Committee  on 
Rules,  I  must  differ  somewhat  with  Mr.  Watson,  who  is  also 
a  member  of  that  committee,  and  I  desire  to  ask  for  an  in- 
terpretation of  that  rule.  I  should  like  to  have  it  interpreted 
at  this  meeting.  I  am  quite  clear  in  my  own  mind  that  the 
word  "  expulsion,"  as  used,  means  expulsion  from  a  club.  I 
know  it  was  my  idea,  because  we  had  before  us  another  case 
where  a  man  had  been  expelled  from  a  club,  and  it  never 
reached  us  officially.  If  a  man  is  guilty  of  misconduct  to 
such  an  extent  that  his  own  club  expels  him  it  ought  not  to 
rest  right  there,  because  that  would  amount  to  nothiDg.  The 
Brooklyn  Kennel  Club  might  expel  a  man  for  dishonorable 
conduct,  and  that  same  man,  who  was  not  good  enough  for 
the  Brooklyn  Club  to  associate  with,  can  come  right  over 
here  and  show  his  dog  in  the  Westminster  Kennel  Club's 
show.  If  a  man  is  to  be  disciplined  by  his  own  club,  that 
club  ought  to  protect  its  sister  clubs  from  this  man,  and  I  am 
very  clear  that  that  is  the  reason   this  went  into  these  rules. 

Mr.  Brooks .  Why  does  not  Rule  9  cover  the  whole  ques- 
tion? An  expulsion  by  that  club  is  a  disqualification  under 
the  American  Kennel  Club  rules.  It  comes  under  the  special 
rules  for  holding  shows. 

Mr.  "Watson:  I  have  always  been  opposed  to  that  rule.  I 
don't  think  we  ever  had  a  discussion  about  it,  and  while  the 
Secretary  may  have  had  it  in  his  mind,  I  do  not  think  it  was 
the  intention.  Some  time  ago  1  was  a  candidate  for  member- 
ship in  the  Philadelphia  Kennel  Club,  and  Mr.  Dixon  was 
president.  They  wanted  to  expel  me.  I  had  never  qualified 
as  a  member,  but  I  was  to  be  expelled  because  of  toy  effort 
to  have  the  National  Breeders'  Show.  I  was  to  be  disqualified 
by  that  club-  Under  the  rules  there  was  a  squabble  between 
myself  and  the  dob,  and  I  thought  it  was  going  a  great  deal 
too  far.  These  rules  are  to  a  great  extent  doubtful.  There 
was  only  one  thing  intended  to  be  put  in  them  in  the  premium 
list.  The  other  part  was  entirely  for  club  information.  The 
object  of  our  putting  this  rule  in  was  to  simplify  things. 
Rule  24  says:  "  No  person  under  sentence  of  suspension  or 
sentence  of  disqualification  can  exhibit  or  take  a  prize." 
That  is  a  dog  show  rule.  I  am  rather  sure  that  I  incorporated 
the  word  "  expulsion"  in  the  rule  thoughtlessly. 

Major  Taylor:  Do  you  mean  to  say  that,  if  one  club 
suspends  a  membar,  that  man  cannot  show  in  anv  other 
club? 

Mr.  Watson  :  I  say  he  has  the  right.  If  he  has  done  any- 
thing dishonorable  in  connection  with  doge,  then  we  can  dis- 
qualifiy  him  ;  but  if  he  has  simply  done  something  that  is 
objectionable  to  the  club,  that  is  another  thing. 

Mr.  Brooks:  I  move  that  Rule  9,  under  the  regulations 
governing  clubs  holding  shows  under  the  American  Kennel 
Club,  be  interpreted  to  read  :  ''  That  no  person  excelled  from 
a  club,  a  member  of  the  American  Kennel  Club,  cm  be  em- 
ployed in  any  official  capacity,  or  exhibit  or  take  a  prize,  or 
act  as  an  agent  for  an  exhibitor,  pending  an  appeal  to  the 
American  Kennel  Club. 

Mr.  Watson :  If  a  man  has  done  anything  outside  of  his 
own  club,  then  he  can  be  suspended  ;  but  because  there  is  a 
row  in  his  own  club  and  he  is  expelled,  and  it  has  nothing 
whatever  to  do  with  dogs,  1  don't  see  how  we  can  reoognize 
it. 

Mr.  Vredenburgh  :  I  think  it  would  be  well  for  the  Chair 
to  make  a  ruling  on  f his  point,  and  let  the  delegates  appeal 
from  it  or  ratify  it. 

The  Chairman  :  The  Chair  rules  that,  under  the  American 
Kennel  Club's  rules,  expulsion  by  clubs,  as  stated  in  Rule  9, 
shall  mean  under  suspension,  pending  appeal. 

Mr.  Watson :  I  appeal  from  that,  because  that  is  simply  a 
rule  governing  the  club  It  is  a  duplicate  rule  placed  in  the 
dog  show  rules  for  the  benefit  of  all  exhibitors.  Those  dog 
show  rules  were  all  that  were  intended  to  be  put  in  the  pre- 
mium list.  It  was  duplicated  again  iu  the  rules  governing 
clubs  holding  dog  shows,  in  order  that  the  clubs  might  under- 
stand and  have  ii  for  their  own  guidance.  In  the  rule  gov- 
erning shows  there  is  no  reference  to  the  word  "  expulsion.' 

Mr.  Vredenburgh:  On  appeal  the  vole  "  Yes "  means  to 
sustain  the  Chair,  and  the  vote  "  No  "  is  against  it. 

The  roll  call  resulted  in  thefollowint-  vote  :  "  Yes,"  Messrs 
Stevenson,  Oldham,  Foote,  Sliotwell.  Drake,  Brooks,  Morris, 
Whitney,  Taylor,  Cromwell.  "  No,1'  Mr.  Watson.  The 
decision  of  the  Chair  was  sustained  by  10  votes,  with  1 
against  it. 


Dr.  Foote :  Cannot  that  be  introduced  as  an  addendum 
under  Rule  9  ? 

Mr.  Watson  :  I  would  like  to  ask  the  Chairman  for  further 
information  how  far  the  interpretation  of  Rule  9  goes? 

The  Chair  :  He  is  not  disqualified.  He  is  under  suspen- 
sion pending  appeal.  A  man  under  suspension  cannot  show 
a  dog.

The  Pacific  Kennel  Olub. 


The  annual  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Kennel  Club  was  held  at 
21  Kearny  street  on  Wednesday  evening  last.  The  mem- 
bers present  were  President  E.  W.  Briggs,  Secretary  H.  W. 
Orear.  Treasurer  C.  A.  Haight,  T.  J.  Wattson,  P.  D.  Lin- 
ville,  J.  H.  Wahler,  H.  T.  Payne,  J.  H.  Sammi,  W.  H.  Col- 
lins, W.  J.  Golcher,  H.  C.  Golcher,  C  .W.  "Wilson,  H.  Bier, 
E.  H.  Wakeman,  Thos.  Higgs  and  Wm.  Schreiber. 

The  report  of  the  Financial  Secretary  was  read  and 
accepted.  The  statement  of  Treas.  Haight  shows  a  balance 
of  cash  on  hand  on  May  2d  of  $879.04. 

A  vote  of  thanks  was  tendered  to  the  retiring  officers  for 
the  efficient  manner  in  which  they  have  managed  the  affairs 
of  the  club. 

The  following  nominations  were  then  made  and  the  nomi- 
nees elected :  E.  H.  Wakeman  nomioated  E.  \V.  Briggs  for 
President,  T.  J.  Wattson  nominated  E.  H.  Wakeman  for  first 
Vice-President,  C.  A.  Haight  nominated  F.  S.  Butler  for  sec- 
ond Vice-President,  H.  Bier  nominated  H.  W.  Orear  for  Cor. 
Secretary  and  E.  H.  Wakeman  nominated  C.  A.  Haight  for 
Treasurer.  The  election  was  a  popular  one  and  met  with  no 
opposition  whatever.  We  are  very  pleased  to  see  the  old 
officers  re-elected  and  venture  to  phophecy  that  the  coming 
year  will  be  the  most  prosperous  one  of  the  P.  K.  C.'s  exis- 
tance. 


Oakland  Bench  Show. 


The  first  annual  bench  show  of  the  Alameda  County  Sports- 
men's Association  promises  to  exceed  the  most  sanguine 
expectations.  Entries  are  coming  in  rapidly  and  the  prelim- 
inaries have  been  very  satisfactorily  arranged.  The  city 
fathers  have  granted  all  dogs  the  freedom  of  the  city  during 
lhe  show  week  ;  in  other  words,  the  poundmaster  will  take  a 
week's  rest.  While  their  pound  ordinance  would  not  hold 
for  an  instant,  if  tested,  this  permit  will  effectually  protect 
the  visiting  doe  fanciers  from  annoyance  during  show  week. 

Our  correspondent's  request  for  greyhound  entries  in 
another  column  is  well  timed.  A.  C.  Waddell,  the  judge,  is 
one  of  the  best  greyhound  judges  that  we  ever  saw  in  a  ring. 
Should  the  greyhound  men  see  fit  to  enter  their  hounds  they 
will  have  the  satisfaction  of  knowing  that  they  will  be  placed 
according  to  their  field  form.  Mr.  Waddell  is  a  practical 
greyhound  man,  and  looks  to  their  working  qualities  almost 
entirely. 

Entries  close  May  23d  at  the  office,  918  Broadway,  Oak- 
land. For  the  convenience  of  the  dog  owners  on  this  side  of 
the  bay,  a  branch  office  has  been  established  at  the  office  of 
the  Breeder  aj*b  Sportsman,  where  entries  can  be  made. 
Premium  lists  and  entry  blanks  can  be  obtained  at  either 
office. 

Greyhound    in    the    Oakland    Show. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — As  the  directors  of 
the  Oakland  Bench  Show  have  succeeded  in  getting  a  judge 
who  is  evidently  competent  to  give  a  good  or  correct  opinion 
as  to  the  points  of  a  greyhound,  it  is  to  be  hoped  that  many 
of  the  city  and  county  kennels  will  be  presented.  Surely  the 
pleasure  of  seeing  such  dogs  as  Skyrocket,  Long  John,  Short 
Stop,  Nelly  Bly,  Johnny  Rex,  Joe  McAuliffe  and  others 
which  have  made  themselves  famous  by  their  achievements 
in  the  field  would  be  felt  by  all  who  take  an  interest  in  mat- 
ters dogey,  and  the  honor  of  triumph  on  the  show  bench, 
would  add  luster  to  the  many  triumphs  that  each  and  all  of 
the  dogs  mentioned  have  won  from  the  slips. 

If  the  owners  of  these  dogs  could  be  induced  to  place  their 
great  performers  on  the  bench  in  competition  it  would  create 
such  a  furore  among  the  leashmen  as  has  not  been  eeen  since 
they  met  on  the  plains  of  Merced,  lor  the  sight  of  these  dogs 
could  not  fail  to  be  of  interest  to  all  who  visit  the  show. 
Yours,  Show  Up. 


An  Apolosry. 


San  Francisco,  May  16,  1894. 
Dr.  A.  T.  Regensberger^ 

Dear  Sir  : — When  I  made  the  assertion  that  the  affidavit 
filed  by  you  in  the  Schell-Huber  trial  did  not  contain  the 
truth  I  was  laboring  under  the  impression  that  you  stated 
that  you  and  Mr.  Kaenig  were  present  in  the  yard  together 
and  saw  the  puppies  on  the  following  or  succeeding  Sunday 
after  they  were  born. 

During  the  last  few  days  I  have  learned  that  you  did  not 
make  the  statement  in  your  affidavit  of  being  there  at  that 
time,  but  that  it  wasduring  the  time  the  puppies  were  sick, 
viz.,  two  months  later. 

As  I  made  the  charge  while  laboring  under  the  former 
opinion,  I  think  it  is  right  and  proper  that  1  should  tender  you 
an  ample  apology  as  I  certainly  think  you  would  not  wilfully 
make  any  mistatements.  Trusting  that  you  will  receive  the 
apology  in  the  manner  tendered,  believe  me, 

Sincerely  yours,  H.  Huber.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  Electric  Gun  Club  now  boasts  of  a  membership  of 
thirty-six.     All  amateurs. 

It  is  stated  that  2,000  elk  have  died  of  starvation  in 
Wyoming  during  the  last  two  months. 

From  Mirror  and  Farmer  we  learn  that  the  Maine  Game 
and  Protective  Association  through  its  president,  E.  G.  Gay, 
recently  sent  to  Sweden  for  twelve  black  game  and  six  caper- 
cailzie. On  the  arrival  of  the  birds  it  was  found  that  only  six 
of  the  black  game  and  five  capercalszie  had  survived  the 
journey,  or  at  least  that  was  the  number  that  reached  Lewis- 
ton.  It  is  thought  that  at  least  two  of  the  capercailzie  were 
stolen  between  Mew  York  and  Maine,  as  some  of  the  cages 
gave  evidence  that  they  bad  been  tampered  with. 

The  question  is  still  asked,  "  Does  practice  at  clay  pigeons 
impair  a  man's  form  in  the  field  ?"  The  answer  is,  "No." 
On  the  contrary,  a  man  who  shoots  clay  pigeons  as  they 
should  be  shot,  that  is,  whilst  they  are  rising,  will  find,  when 
the  season  again  comes  round,  that  his  percentage  of  kills  is 
largely  increased.  Many  men  think  it  necessary  to  abstain 
from  tiring  until  the  clay  pigeon  is  about  to  drop ;  bqt  the 
supposition  is  erroneous,  as  shooters  will  themselves  discover 
when  they  come  to  be  handicapped  at  28  or  30  yards.  Nearly 
all  good  clay  pigeon  shots  fire  quickly,  and  crack  performers 
— Miss  Aunie  Oakley,  for  example,  or  Herr  Preuss — seem 
able  to  shatter  the  clays  no  matter  whether  they  are  rising, 
falling,  twisting  to  the  right  or  to  the  left,  or  travelling 
straight  from  or  towards  them.  Emphatically,  however,  I 
would  repeat :  Shoot  at  clay  pigeons  as  soon  as  possible  after 
they  have  left  the  trap,  and  always  whilst  they  are  rising. 
This  is  the  only  way  to  acquire  the  knack  of  hitting  them 
regularly.  The  trick  of  "  catching  them  on  the  turn,"  as  it 
is  called,  may  give  satisfaction  for  awhile ;  but  in  the  long 
run  it  will  be  found  a  useless  method ;  consequently,  the  habit 
should  be  shunned. — London  Rod  and  Gun. 


The  Vena-Contracta  Shot  Gun. 


The  great  attention  which  this  new  invention  in  sporting 
guns  is  attracting  proves  it  to  possess  advantages  well  worth 
the  careful  study  of  every  sportsman.  The  main  idea,  as 
conceived  by  Mr.  H.  F.  Phillip,  gnn  editor  to  the  Field  (Lon- 
don), and  carried  out  by  Mr.  Harriss,  is  to  strengthen  the 
cartridge  chambers  so  as  to  enable  them  to  bear  the  increas- 
ing strain  due  to  the  powerful  nitro-powders  now  employed 
in  the  cartridges,  without  adding  to  the  weight  of  the  gun  as 
a  whole,  and  the  design  has  been  so  carefully  thought  out  as 
to  combine  many  excellencies  heretofore  deemed  incompati- 
ble with  safety.  The  principal  feature  in  this  new  invention 
is  the  "  Vena-contracta,"  which  enables  a  12-bore  cartridge 
to  be  discharged  with  absolute  safety  through  a  20-bore 
barrel - 

The  barrels  are  thirty  inches  in  length,  and  for  twenty- 
four  inches  from  the  muzzle  they  are  precisely  the  same 
inside  and  out  as  a  20-bore;  at  six  inches  from  the  breech 
they  gradually  widen  out  to  the  capacity  of  a  12-bore.  This 
portion  has  been  especially  strengthened  to  ensure  absolute 
safety,  and  weighs  about  4  ozs.  more  than  is  usually  the  case, 
the  lightness  of  the  barrels  forward  permitting  of  this  extra 
burden,  and  reducing  the  total  weight  to  3  lb.  2  oz. 

It  has  been  anticipated  that  the  resistance  offered  to  the 
shot  by  a  gradually  narrowing  bore  would  require  a  greatly 
increased  charge  of  powder;  practical  tests  have  shown  that 
a  charge  of  44  grains  of  powder  will  drive  1  1-8  os.  No.  6  shot 
with  excellent  results,  as  the  Bhot  accommodates  itself  more 
readily  than  was  at  first  imagined  to  the  narrowing  gauge, 
and  produces  a  comparatively  minor  resistance  to  that  set  up 
by  the  wads  ;  consequently  the  old  hard  wads  have  been  sub- 
stituted in  the  cartridges  by  soft  felt  between  two  card  wads, 
with  a  card  over  the  shot,  while  a  slight  increase  in  the 
charge  of  3  grs.  more  Schullze,  E.  C,  or  S.  S.,  and  one  grain 
more  Walsrode,  has  been  thought  desirable. 

So  far  the  trials  have  been  very  satisfactory,  the  average 
of  five  shots  on  one  occasion  being  as  follows: — At  forty  yards, 


loaded  with  44  grs.  S.  S.  powder,  1  1-8  oz.  No.  6  shot  in  a  30 
inch  circle:  Right  barrel,  average  156  ;  Left  Barrel, average 
164. 

With  this  brief  description  of  this  most  admirable  weapon 
the  two  following  points  connected  with  it  strikes  us  as  pos- 
sessing special  advantages : — 

1.  Its  lightness,  weighing  as  it  does  only  6  lbs.,  which  is 
further  enhanced  by  the  readiness  in  "coming  up,"  due  to 
the  extra  weight  concentrated  at  the  breech,  thus  balancing 
the  weight  of  the  gun  nicely  in  the  proper  place,  that  is,  be- 
tween the  hands. 

2.  Its  great  safety  secured  by  the  heavy  weight  of  metal 
surrounding  the  cartridge  chamber. 

We  shall  watch  with  the  greatest  interest  the  future  of  this 
gun,  and  we  have  no  hesitation  in  saying  that  if  the  results  of 
its  shooting  on  moor  and  in  covert  are  as  satisfactory  as  the 
trials  already  reported,  it  will  most  thoroughly  meet  every 
requirement  of  the  sportsman. — London  Rod  and  Gun. 


Game  in  Yellowstone  Park. 


Last  February,  Capt.  G.  S.  Anderson,  superintendent  of 
the  Yellowstone  National  Park,  sent  out  a  party  of  scouts 
to  the  Buffalo  country  in  Hayden  Valley  to  learn  how  the 
game  was  wintering.  The  party  left  the  post  on  February 
10th  and  got  back  on  the  20th.  They  encountered  bitterly 
cold  weather  but  had  few  snow  storms,  and  no  trouble  in  get- 
ting about.  They  6aw  50  elk  on  Swan  Lake  flat,  and  at  the 
Yellowstone  Canyon  counted  300  on  the  other  side  of  the 
river.  About  200  were  seen  on  Pelican  Creek.  Of  buffalo, 
they  saw  12 — four  of  them  calves — on  Astringen  Creek,  a 
bunch  of  Pelican ;  45  in  the  Hayden  Valley,  nine  of  these 
being  calves  ;  another  bunch  of  40  with  seven  calves,  another 
of  28  with  four  calves,  and  two  little  bunches  of  seven  and  six 
each.  They  also  saw  two  buffalo  on  Nez  Percez  Creek  and 
saw  signs  of  more.  Fromall  this  it  is  apparent  that  the  buf- 
falo are  more  scattered  this  winter  than  usual,  and  that  a 
good  many  of  them  are  on  the  east  side  ot  the  Yellowstone 
River.  This  goes  to  show  that  they  are  wintering  well,  since 
when  snows  are  deep  they  are  apt  to  collect  in  the  Hayden 
Valley.  Besides  the  elk  mentioned  above,  300  were  seeu  on 
Sour  Creek  and  18  in  the  Hayden  Valley.  A  week  or  two 
since  a  dispatch  appeared  in  the  New  York  papers  stating 
that  proachers  had  killed  in  the  Yellowstone  Park  a  whole 
herd  of  buffalo,  that  the  poachers  had  been  captured  by  the 
troops,  and  that  Captain  Anderson  had  them  in  the  guard 
house  at  Fort  Sheridan.  This  on  its  face  appeared  to  be  a 
canard,  for  any  news  from  the  Yellowstone  Park  would  not 
come  to  us  from  a  point  so  distant  and  to  the  west  as  Boise 
City,  Idaho.  There  is  not  the  slightest  reason  for  believiDg 
that  there  is  any  truth  in  the  dispatch.  A  rumor  was  re- 
cently current  at  Livingston  and  Cinnabar  that  two  men 
whom  Captain  Anderson  had  in  the  guard  house  in  Decem- 
ber, have  gone  out  to  the  Hayden  Valley  for  buffalo,  but 
nothing  definite  is  known  about  this.  There  is  probably 
nothing  in  it.  An  old  offender  is  recently  known  to  have  re- 
cently been  over  on  Pelican  Creek  with  a  toboggan.  He  was 
not  seen,  but  some  of  the  soldiers  got  on  his  trail  and  followed 
it  out  by  Soda  Butte,  which  he  passed  in  the  night  and  then 
went  on  to  Cooke.  A  snowshoe  party  from  Fort  Sheridan 
crossed  over  Mount  Everts  on  snowshoes  about  the  middle  of 
February  and  saw  103  elk,  besides  a  very  large  herd,  which 
they  could  not  count,  more  than  a  mile  distant  from  them. 
They  also  saw  33  mule  deer,  a  band  of  sheep  very  close  to 
them,  but  most  of  them  over  the  hill  and  out  of  sight,  and 
about  250  or  more  antelope.  A  few  days  after  this  the  same 
party  went  through  the  Swan  Lake  basin  on  snowshoes,  and 
found  it  full  of  elk,  which  were  busily  employed  digging  at 
the  snow  to  get  it  the  grass  and  seemed  in  good  order. 


The    Importance    and    Means    of  Learning   to 
Know  One's  Gun. 


A  Big  Bear  Killed. 

On  of  the  largest  brown  bears  ever  seen  in  Mendocino 
county  was  killed  on  the  Garsey  &  Ames  ranch  on  Eel  river 
on  Tuesday  of  last  week.  The  chase  and  final  fight  was  a 
most  exciting  one. 

Albert  James,  who  has  charge  of  the  ranch,  found  where 
the  bear  had  been  killing  stock,  and  he  went  and  got  Fred 
Hawks  and  Frank  Gear,  with  their  six  bear  dogs,  and  started 
out  to  run  Mr.  Bruin  down.  They  got  to  work  at  daylight, 
and  commenced  tracking  the  bear  from  one  of  the  sleeping 
grounds.  The  hounds  took  track  very  quickly  and  followed 
the  trail  to  the  Sanhedrin  mountains,  about  three  miles  dis- 
tant. There  the  dogs  overhauled  the  bear  and  commenced 
fighting  him.  The  hunters  surrounded  the  bear  so  as  to  pre- 
vent him  from  escaping.  The  fight  between  the  bear  and  the 
dogs  was  a  vicious  one.  Three  of  the  hounds  were  nearly 
killed.  The  bear  seemed  to  go  crazy,  and  fought  with  fearful 
desperation.  Gear  got  close  to  the  contestants  and  three 
shots  from  his  rifie  brought  bruin  down. 

The  bear  was  about  seven  years  old,  and  weighed  600 
pounds.  He  measured  fourteen  inches  across  the  head,  and 
when  his  hide  was  spread  out  it  looked  like  a  blanket.  For 
several  years  this  varmint  has  been  committing  depredations 
among  the  stock  in  that  vicinity,  and  the  stockmen  are 
delighted  at  his  death. — Healdsburg  Enterprise. 

A  Giant  Deer. 


The  remains  of  a  gigantic  deer  were  discovered  near  Punta 
Rassa,  Fla.,  recently,  in  a  swamp  known  as  Monroe's  cypress 
swamp.  It  is  said  to  resemble,  according  to  the  Philadelphia 
Times,  the  well-known  prehistoric  elk,  and  is  the  only  spec- 
imen of  that  kind  ever  found  in  this  country.  The  antlers, 
which  are  in  a  perfect  state  of  preservation,  measure  8  feet 
11  inches  from  tip  to  tip,  and  when  stood  upright  upon  the 
ground  are  a  few  inches  under  12  feet  in  height.  The  frontal 
bone  to  which  these  gigantic  horns  are  attached  is  somewhat 
larger  than  that  of  a  horse,  while  the  vertebne,  which  is  un- 
broken save  at  the  extreme  end,  is  very  delicate  and  small  in 
comparison  to  what  must  have  been  the  size  of  the  animal. 
The  upper  bone  of  one  of  the  forelegs  shows  an  ugly  fracture, 
which  was  probably  the  cause  of  the  deer  falliog  into  the  soft, 
yielding  soil  of  the  swamp  in  some  remote  age,  wheae  it  died 
most  likeiy  from  starvation.  It  is  impossible  to  estimate 
just  how  many  years  the  skeleton  has  lain  here,  but  that  it 
has  been  before  the  memory  of  man  is  evidenced  by  the  cen- 
tury-old cypresses  that  cover  the  spot.  It  was  in  felling  one 
of  these  trees  that  a. negro  saw  the  extreme  tip  of  one  of  the 
antlers  protruding.  He  dug  up  the  horns  and  reported  his 
discovery,  but  it  was  Dot  credited.  The  skeleton  will  be  pre- 
sented to  the  Smithsonian  institution. 


Every  practical,  experienced  and  intelligent  huntsman 
knows  that  to  obtain  the  best  service  from  a  dog,  and  to  fully 
appreciate  and  enjoy  its  work,  we  must,  first  of  all,  make  our- 
selves familiar  with  its  individual  qualities  and  disposition. 
Quite  the  same  rule  applies  to  the  shotgun.  With  the  very 
beat  barrel  material,  the  most  improved  machinery  and  tools, 
the  highest  skilled  labor  at  his  command,  it  is  impossible  for 
a  gunmaker  to  produce  two  guns — yes,  even  two  barrels  of 
the  Bame  gun — with  precisely  similar  shooting  qualities. 
And  why?  ■  Because  the  conditions  governing  these  qualities 
are  only  partly  known  to  him  and  within  his  control. 

The  momentum  of  elasticity  or  expansion,  for  instance, 
which  plays  quite  an  important  factor  in  regard  to  the  shoot- 
ing quality  of  a  shotgun,  is  beyond  the  control  of  the  gun- 
maker ;  and  yet,  this  very  feature  of  the  barrel  material 
accounts  to  a  great  extent  for  the  well-known  phenomenon 
that  some  guns  will  not  shoot  one  particular  propelling  agent 
nearly  as  well  as  another.  The  various  powders  develop 
their  gases  under  different  conditions,  and  whenever  these 
conditions  are  in  close  harmony  with  the  expansive  qualities 
of  the  barrel,  we  may,  as  a  rule,  look  for  good  and  uniform 
results,  and  vice  versa. 

It  is  nothing  exceptional  to  find  that  a  gun  will  Bhoot  a 
load  less  satisfactorily  at  one  time  than  at  another,  and  under 
different  climatical  conditions.  We  know  that  even  the  bullet 
of  a  rifle,  owiog  to  the  effect  of  the  influence  of  temperature 
upon  the  powder,  will  describe  a  different  curve  in  its  flight 
in  winter  from  that  during  summer,  and  yet  the  rifle  is  much 
less  capricious  in  its  behaviour  than  the  shotgun. 

For  several  reasons  a  particular  gun  or  barrel  will  do  the 
best  service  with  a  certain  size  and  load  of  shot,  and  a  slight 
increase  or  decrease  of  the  powder  charge  frequently  has  a 
great  bearing  upon  a  gun's  shooting  qualities.  Only  quite 
recently  I  repeatedly  experienced  and  established  the  fact 
that  even  such  aslight  difference  as  that  existing  between  No. 
7  shot  and  No.  1h  has  a  bearing  upon  the  behavior  of  a  gun. 
Strange  as  it  appears,  some  guns  will  actually  put  a  smaller 
number  of  pellets  No.  7J  into  the  30-inch  circle  than  No.  7. 
Some  guns,  again,  will  shoot  No.  6  shot  better  than  No.  7, 
and  some  No.  2  shot  better  than  Nos.  3  or  4. 

The  relations  between  the  cartridge  chamber  and  the  soul 
of  the  barrel  are  often  such  as  to  render  a  gun  particularly 
susceptible  to  the  wadding  material,  both  in  point  of  elasticity 
and  diameter. 

It  can  hardly  be  expected  of  the  gun  maker  that  he  should 
establish  for  every  gun  he  puts  out  the  best  suited  load.  Even 
if  he  did,  the  gunner  would  be  very  little  benefited  by  such 
work,  unless  he  would  employ  the  same  load  as  found  to  suit 
the  gun  best. 

The  shooter  must  determine  the  proper  load  himself  or 
have  this  done  by  others.  When  the  sportsmen  carries  outsuch 
a  test  he  should  bear  in  mind  that  a  good  pattern  deserves 
only  to  be  called  so  in  case  the  corresponding  velocity  or 
striking  force  reaches  the  standard  value.  This  last  named 
question  is  much  more  difficult  to  solve  than  many  imagine. 
In  the  first  place,  a  distinction  must  be  made  between  the 
penetrative  facilities  and  striking  force  of  the  pellets.  These 
pellets,  which  are  propelled  by  a  very  high  velocity;  i.  e., 
imparted  with  ?.  comparatively  great  striking  force,  cannot 
and  will  not  penetrate  'a  paper  pad  or  any  other  object  as 
deep  as  the  pellets  of  a  shot  cloud  propelled  by  a  lower 
velocity. 

In  view  of  ihis  fact,  all  tests  carried  out  by  means  of  a 
paper  or  cardboard  pad  are  generally  based  on  false  premises, 
and  lead  to  erroneous  conclusions.  The  results  of  such  tests 
are  worthless  and  misleading.  A  certain  class  of  shooters, 
again,  are  guided  in  their  choice  for  ammunition  by  the  high 
scores  made  by  others  with  a  certain  load.  They  do  not  con- 
sider that  a  load  which  may  do  good  service  in  one  gun  is 
likely  to  behave  poorly  in  another,  and  that  they  not  only 
act  foolish  by  employing  the  same  ammunition,  but  assume  a 
great  risk  in  doing  so.  A  3  inch  shell,  for  instance,  can  be 
forced  into  a  gun  barrel  chambered  for  a  2  5-8  inch  shell ;  it 
can  readily  be  exploded,  too  ;  but  what  the  result  may  be  is 
another  question.  Under  favorable  circumstances  the  gunner 
employing  such  a  shell  not  suited  for  his  gun  may  only  ex- 
perience a  "  kick,"  creating  the  impression  as  though  his  gun 
had  suddenly  been  transformed  into  the  hind  leg  of  a  mule, 
but  he  may  a'so  Bee  bis  gun  go  to  pieces. 

There  is  no  occasion  for  going  to  such  extremes  in  the 
way  of  a  powder  charge  and  shot  load  to  kill  a  pigeon,assome 
gunners  do.  To  boil  a  potato,  boiling  water  is  required,  but 
as  soon  as  the  water  has  reached  the  boiling  point  no  amount 
of  extra  fuel  will  facilitate  the  process  much  further.  To  kill 
a  pigeon  a  certain  sum  of  striking  force  is  required,  not  quite 
as  high  as  that  necessary  to  kill  an  elephant.  The  pene- 
trative force  of  pellets  is  governed  by  a  maximum  ;  when- 
ever this  is  reached,  no  extra  pewder  charge  will  serve  to  in- 
crease it  still  further.  The  chance  of  hitting  a  bird  with  a 
gun  of  a  eertain  caliber,  and  size  shot,  too,  are  subject  to  cer- 
tain laws,  and  these  laws  will  not  give  way  to  any  artificial 
enforcement.  As  a  rule  the  gunner  employing  a  gun  of  12 
caliber  cannot  increase  his  killing  chances  much  by  enlarg- 
ing his  shot  load  beyond  1  1-8  ounces  of  No.  7  shot.  I  know 
that  this  assertion  will  not  meet  the  views  of  many  trap  shoot- 
ers, but  1  make  it  all  the  same,  and  stand  ready  to  admit  my 
mistake  as  soon  as  they  prove  to  me  that  I  am  wrong.  lean- 
not,  however,  yield  to  any  superstitious  beliefs.  I  want  facts 
— undisputable  facts,  as  I  shall  here  name  them  in  regard  to 
the  relations  to  the  striking  force  between  a  load  consisting  of 
1  1-8  ounces  of  shot  and  3  drams  of  Schultze  powder,  and  Z\ 
drams  of  the  same  powder  and  1}  ounces  No.  7  shot,  both 
loads  to  be  employed  for  a  12  bore  gun.  It  is  claimed  for  the 
heavy  load  that  it  will  kill  further  than  the  light  one. 

Now  let  us  see  what  the  facts  in  the  premises  are.  At  50 
yards  from  the  muzzle  the  standard  or  light  load  will  show  a 
velocity  of  770  feet,  and  the  velocity  of  the  heavier  load  at 
the  same  point  is  760  feet,  or  ten  feet  less  than  that  of  the  for- 
mer. The  muzzle  vbloeitv  of  both  loads  is  about  the  same  or 
only  two  feet  higher  with  the  heavier  load.  What  has  the 
gunner  employing  the  heavier  load  gained?  He  has  suc- 
ceeded in  increasing  the  recoil  about  25,  the  burstingstrain  or 
pressure  in  the  gun  barrel  about  35  per  cent,  that's  all. 

I  have  recently  been  called  upon  to  determine  for  a  num- 
ber of  shotguns  the  most  suitable  loads.  From  sixteen  guns 
tested,  eight  proved  to  shoot  Schultze  powder  better  than  any 
other.  In  nearly  all  cases  the  wadding  material  had  to  be 
chosen   with  due  regard  to  the  relation  between  cartridge

chamber  and  sonl  of  barrel.  Four  guns  made  the  best  showing 
with  Walsrode  powder,  and  two  with  E.  C.  and  American 
Wood  powder  respectively. 

A  Purdey  gun  produced  with  Schultze  powder,  wadded  in 
a  certain  manner,  and  1  1-S  ounces  No.  7  shot,  an  average 
pattern  in  the  30-inch  circle  at  40  yards,  right  barrel  234: 
left  barrel  244  pellets.  A  Scott  gun  produced  with  Walsrode 
powder,  an  average  pattern,  right  barrel  232,  left  barrel  245 
pellets.  One  gun,  a  Francotte,  did  best  with  Schultze  pow- 
der in  the  right,  E.  C.  powder  in  the  left  barrel. 

In  one  case  fully  300  6hots  were  fired  before  the  proper 
load  was  established  for  the  left  barrel  of  a  gun  which  proved 
very  stubborn,  and  would  not  put  more  than  190  pellets  in 
the  30  inch  circle.  The  same  barrel  finally  produced  an  aver- 
age pattern  of  230  pellets. 

The  pellets  found  in  the  30-inch  circle  must  be  judged  also 
in  point  of  distribution.  If  a  gun  is  patterned  for  pigeon 
shooting,  a  skeleton  of  a  pigeon  is  placed  in  the  center  of  the 
target;  if  for  ducks,  that  of  a  duck  is  substituted.  By  count- 
ing the  pellets  found  in  the  skeleton  and  considering  the 
force  at  impact  of  each  pellet,  a  pretty  fair  conclusion  can  be 
drawn  as  to  the  chances  of  hitting  and  killing  for  every  load 
employed. — Arniin  Tenner,  iu  Shooting  and  Fishing. 


Inanimates  at  Oakland. 


Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.'s  inanimate  target  grounds  at 

Oakland  Race  Track  were  well  patronized  on  Sunday  last. 

The  prize  match  brought  out  a  very  small  attendance  but 

the  shooting  was  continuous  throughout  the  day.    The  prize

The  New  Smokeless  (No.  2j. 

Editob  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — The  experiments 
that  you  recorded  last  week  did  not  entirely  satisfy  me,  and 
at  the  request  of  Mr.  Thurston  I  spent  another  day  at  the 
laboratory.  I  have  not  time  this  week  to  go  into  the  details, 
but  will  do  so  next  week.  My  main  object  was  to  find  a  cheap 
load  for  blue  rock  shooting,  cheap  wads,  cheap  shell  and  as 
light  a  load  as  was  compatible  with  efficiency.  After  trying 
variouB  wadding  with  both  the  Rival  and  Nitro-Rival  I  found 
that  the  Nitro-Rival  gave  much  the  best  results,  both  in  pen- 
etration and  pattern.  To  my  great  surprise  I  found  that  I 
got  better  penetration  and  equal  pattern  with  the  37  grain 
load  than  with  the  40,  42  or  45  grain  loads.  The  penetration 
running  from  18  to  21  cards  and  the  pattern  from  330  to  360 
in  a  30-inch  circle  at  35  yards.  The  bursting  strain  averaged 
less  than  2,500  pounds,  showing  conclusively  that  if  you 
exceed  thirty-seven  grains  in  the  cheaper  grade  of  shells  you 
not  only  do  not  gain  anything  but  actually  lose  velocity. 

The  load  was  as  followB  :  37  grains  U.  S.  S.  (less  than  14 
drams  in  measure),  2  No.  12  black  edge  and  1  No.  12  card 
over  powder,  l\  oz.  No.  7  chilled  shot  topped  with  a  Squire's 
card  wad  very  tightly  crimped. 

With  1  1-8  oz.  No.  8  shot  I  got  a  penetration  of  18  cards 
and  with  1  1-8  oz.  No.  6  shot  1  got  a  penetration  of  23  cards. 
I  also  tried  a  Dumber  of  brass  shells  and  except  that  the 
penetration  was  a  trifle  less,  the  powder  seems  to  work  as 
well  in  the  brass  as  in  the  paper  shells.  Full  particular  next 
week. 

It  should  be  borne  in  mind  by  those  who  are  experimenting 
with  the  powder  that  it  is  not  adapted  to  rifles  and  must  not 
be  used  in  a  rifle  in  any  quantity  whatever.  The  company 
are  producing  a  rifle  powder  which  when  perfected  will  be 
placed  upon  the  market,  but  at  present  they  are  working  up- 
on the  shot  gun  powder  only. 

I  append  the  government  tests  of  this  powder  for  muzzle, 
velocity  and  recoil.  These  tests  were  made  by  Capt.  Hay 
U.  S.  A  at  the  government  testing  works  at  Fort  Mason  and 
are  accurate  beyond  question

The  low  velocity  of  the  Nitro  Rival  load  (45  grs.)  tallies 
with  my  own  experiments  in  penetration.  The  wadding  (4 
black  edge  wads)  is  not  suited  to  that  shell.  In  loading  this 
powder  in  the  high  grade  shells,  heavy  wadding  is  necessary, 
but  in  the  Nitro  Rival  two  No.  11  black  edge  and  a  card  will 
give  greater  velocity  than  that  recorded  above.     Avalon.

Killed   Some  Big    Sturgeon. 

During  the  recent  overflow  of  the  lower  division  of  Rob- 
erts island  a  number  of  sturgeon  found  their  way  inland  and 
have  remained  there  ever  since.  The  water  is  now  very  shal- 
low and  the  big  fish  are  getting  hard  pressed  for  swimming 
room.  Yesterday  W.  A.  Severy  and  F.  W.  Buckhold  were 
fishing  in  the  river  near  Burns'  cutof}'.  Some  workingmeu  en- 
gaged in  pumping  out  the  Woods  tract  told  them  that  a  num- 
ber of  6turgeon  were  swimming  inside  the  levee  in  shallow 
water.  Severy  and  Buckhold  armed  themselves  with  clubs 
and  started  out  on  the  chase.  After  an  hour's  racing  about 
in  the  mud  and  water  they  managed  to  kill  four  of  the  fish. 
The  largest  of  the  sturgeon  weighed  200  pounds.  The  others 
scaled  as  follows:  150  pounds,  80  pounds  and  40  pounds. —

Jaussaue  Isidore  was  arrested  Monday  on  charges  of  killing 
a  blue  crane,  and  capturing  fish  in  the  Arroyo  Valle  by  the 
use  of  giant  powder.  He  pleaded  guilty  to  the  first  charge 
and  received  the  lightest  sentence  allowed  by  law — fifty  days. 
On  Tuesday  a  jury  found  him  guilty  on  the  second  charge 
and  he  got  tweuty  days  more — a  total  of  seventy  days  board 
and  lodging,  at  the  expense  of  the  tax-payers  of  Alameda 
County.  By  the  way,  will  some  one  please  enlighten  us  as 
to  the  reason  why  the  law  for  the  protection  of  fish  also  pro- 
tects their  natural  and  most  inveterate  destroyers — the  blue 
cranes  ? — San  Leandro  Leader. 

[The  blue  crane  is  protected  on  account  of  its  usefulness  iD 
killing  gophers  and  marsh  rats,  thus  protecting  the  levees  and 
the  crops  of  the  rancher. — Ed.]

Truckee  on  Monday  last.  Mr.  Emeric  caught  nine  trout  on 
an  Emeric  spinner  that  weighed  thirty-six  pounds,  near  Ver- 
di, Nevada.  They  report  excellent  fishing  and  the  trout  are 
certainly  in  prime  condition  if  those  sent  to  E.  T.  Allen  and 
Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  are  samples. 


A  recent  dispatch  from  Colorado  notes  that  Mr.  R.  E. 
Goodell,  of  Denver,  has  transferred  the  title  to  Evergreen 
Lakes,  sixteen  miles  from  Leadville,  to  the  United  States 
Government,  aud  that  the  largest  fish  hatchery  in  the  country 
with  a  capacity  for  hatching  7,000,000  of  spawn,  will  be  erec- 
ted there. — American  Field.

Wm.  Murdoch  announced  at  the  Anglers'  Convention  that 
he  was  against  the  opening  of  the  trout  season  on  May  1st  in 
place  of  April  1st.  Is  there  any  good  reason  for  this  ? 
Would  not  the  fingerlings  that  are  now  caught  in  thousands 
in  April  become  larger  and  more  cunning  if  allowed  to  grow 

until  May  ?

An  old  one,  made  over :  Farmer — Say  do  you  see  that  sign 
on  that  tree?  Fisherman— Oh,  yes  and  I  think  they  do,  so 
don't  make  so  much  noise,  please.  '•  What  you  talking  about, 
young  fellow?"  "Why,  it  asks  '  Don't  Fish  Hear/  so  keep 
still  a  little  bit,  you  see  I've  got  a  bite." 


Albert  Rogers  and  Antone  Macbado  were  fined  $100  each 
by  a  justice  of  the  peace  for  using  a  net  with  a  mesh  that 
measured  less  than  seven  inches.  They  were  caught  in  the 
act  by  Deputy  Patrolman  Wilson  of  the  Fish  Commission. 

San  Andreas  lake  will  be  open  to  anglers  (when  armed 
with  a  permit)  on  June  1.  The  trout  and  black  bass  are  said 
to  be  in  prime  condition. 

Uncle  Robert  Liddle  reports  the  fishing  at  Point  Reyes 
to  be  very  poor.  He  stopped  there  two  days  but  did  not  catch 
anything. 

Col.  Edwards  has  a  ten-year-old  son  that  ca&  cast  42  feet 
already.    Surely  the  tournament  is  bearing  fruit. 


Lady  Pat,  who  won  the  Grand  International  Steeple- 
chase over  a  three-mile-and-a-half  course  at  Sandown  Park, 
near  London,  is  owned  by  Miss  Holmes,  who  uses  the  horse 
for  'cross  country  riding.  It  is  claimed  that  Miss  Holmes  is 
a  far  better  equestrienne  than  any  of  the  crack  lady  riders  in 
England,  and  that  she  has  been  known  to  take  hedges  and 
ditches  which  many  a  good  'cross  country  rider  has  re- 
fused.

PILUT  PRINCE  20,439 

By  Dexter  Prince,  the  greatest  speed  producer  of 
the  Pacific  Coast,  dam  Emma  Nutwood  (dam  of  Lot- 
tery Ticker,  2:19^), by  Nutwood,  2:18$f;  second  dam 
Lndv  Emma,  2:36  (the  o'd-tlme  California  race  mare) 
by  Black  Hawk  767 ;  third  dam  the  Newby  Mare,  by 
Gen.  Taylor;  fourth  dam  Rosalie,  by  Williamson's 
Belmont. 

Pilot  Prince  Is  one  of  the  handsomest,  fastest  and 
best-bred  sons  of  Dexter  Prince.  He  Is  bay  in  color, 
about  15.3  bands  high  and  weighsover  1,100 pouuds.  He 
Is  level-headed  and  one  of  the  strongest-made  horses 
living,  and  able  to  exert  all  his  strength  at  the  trotting 
gait.  He  Is  a  natural  trotter,  requiring  ueither  weights 
nor  boots.  He  was  one  of  the  fastest  colts  ever  foaled 
in  California,  and  as  a  yearling  repeatedly  trotted 
eighths  of  a  mile  In  17seconds.  He  won  all  his  races  as 
a  two-year-old,  making  a  record  of  2:31M  at  the  fall 
meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  in  1800.  Since  then  he 
has  not  been  trained.but  it  is  intended  to  campaign  him 
this  season.  His  oldest  colts  are  two  years  old.  One 
of  them  was  trained  last  season  as  a  yearling  and  won 
the  colt  slakes  at  Napa  meeting. 

Since  speed  begets  speed  Pilot  Prince  Is  certain  to 

become  one  of  the  great  speed-producers  of  California. 

Service  Fee  for  the  Seascu,  860.

2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:274,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake.

it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston,

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  Id  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Stlby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  ol 
tills  book:  "In  this  work  Marvlu  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft.and  it  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
imy  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
ik-velope  to  tbe  blghesland  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall  i 
place  one  In  the  hands  of  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

THIRTY-FOURTH   DAY — FRIDAY,  MAY  18. 

HREE  favorites  and  two  long 
shots  shoved  their  noses  first  past 
the  finishing-point  this  gloomy 
afternoon,  and  the  talent  went 
.(f£\  -  rata^  home  happy.  The  track  was 
greatly  improved,  and  throughout 
yi\$F~  J^  E^e  **me  maa<e  was  excellent.  The 
racing  was  fairly  good  one  of  the 
finishes  being  calculated  to  infuse 
enthusiasm  into  a  Peruvian  mum- 
my. Hennessy  carried  off  the  rid- 
ing honors  of  the  day,  piloting  two  winners  to  victory. 
Pinkney  rode  old  Regal  in  a  victor,  with  odds  of  15  to  1 
against  him.  Sullivan  made  a  great  finish  with  Lonnie 
B.,  the  old  mare  getting  home  less  than  two  inches  in 
front  of  Tiliie  S.,  who  got  away  last.  Gallant  left  the 
maiden  ranks  in  fine  style,  winning  easily  in  fast  time. 

Regal,  the  oldest  horse  at  present  taking  part  in  the  local 
races,  romped  to  the  front  nearing  the  homestretch,  then  came 
on  and  won  easily  by  three  lengths,  Boule  running  from  the 
bunch  and  getting  the  place  a  head  only  in  front  of  the  gray 
gelding. 

Miss  Ruth  led  in  the  second  event  until  nearing  the  three- 
quarter  pole.  Then  Gallant  shot  by  her,  and  graduallv  in- 
creasing his  lead,  won  easily  by  three  lengths,  Miss  Ruth 
being  second,  as  far  from  Niagara,  who  just  nipped  Flir- 
tilla  by  a  nose. 

Nutwood  led  in  the  mile  race  until  the  half  was  reached, 
Rear  Guard,  the  favorite,  soon  thereafter  took  charge  of 
affairs,  leading  by  a  small  margin  into  the  homestretch,  and 
winning  handily  by  three  parts  of  a  length  from  Auleuil, 
who  came  very  fast  down  the  homestretch.  De  La  Guerra 
plainly  fouled  Nutwood  in  the  homestretch  and  the  latter 
was  rightly  given  third  place. 

Lonnie  B.  won  the  fourth  race  by  the  narrowest  of  margins 
in  the  very  last  stride,  Tiliie  S.  getting  the  place  by  a  neck 
from  Trix,  who  was  but  half  a  length  in  front  of  Gordius. 
It  was  one  of  those  finishes  you  read  about,  where  the  owner 
of  the  winner  and  second  horse  swallow  their  tobacco. 

Chemuck  was  a  handy  winner  of  the  last   race,  running 
second  to  the  homestretch,  at  the  head  of  which  Motto  was 
in  front.     The  latter  finished  second,  three  lengths  behind 
the  winner  and  but  half  a  length  in  front  of  Annie  Moore.

15,  the  others  from  30  to  60  to  1.  To  a  good  start  the  order 
was  Miss  Ruth,  Flirtilla,  Gallant,  Hanford.  Gallant,  Miss 
Ruth  and  Hanford  ran  close  together  until  nearing  the  home- 
stretch, where  Gallant  drew  away  and  was  a  length  in  front 
of  Miss  Ruth,  who  was  as  far  from  Hanford,  at  whose  heels 
came  Niagara.  Gallant  drew  away  gradually  in  the  home- 
stretch and  won  with  great  ease  by  three  lengths,  in  0:49  J,

Rear  Guard  opened  at  6  to  5,  closed  at  7  to  5.  Annie 
Buckingham  was  at  5  to  1,  Currency  and  Bronco  7  to  1  each, 
De  La  Guerra  and  Blue  and  White  8  each,  Nutwood  and 
Auteuil  10  to  1  each.  Auteuil,  Nutwood,  Blue  and  "White 
was  the  order  to  a  straggling  start.  At  the  quarter  Nutwood 
was  a  length  in  front  of  De  La  Guerra,  on  whom  Blue  and 
White  was  lapped.  Two  lengths  back  came  a  bunch,  headed 
by  Auteuil.  Rear  Guard  was  now  urged  by  Hennessy,  and 
was  second  at  the  half,  but  half  a  length  behind  Nutwood. 
De  La  Guerra  waft  a  close  third.  At  the  three-quarter  pole 
Rear  Guard  led  by  a  head,  Nutwood  only  a  head  in  front  of 
De  La  Guerra.  Half  a  length  further  away  was  Auteuil. 
Rear  Guard  was  a  length  to  the  good  half-way  down  the 
homestretch,  Auteuil  running  up  second.  A  little  less  than 
a  furlong  from  home  DeLa  Guerra  palpably  fouled  Nutwood. 
Rear  Guard  had  to  be  shaken  up  a  bit  at  the  end  to  win  by 
three  parts  of  a  length  from  Auteuil,  who  beat  De  La  Guerra 
five  lengths  for  the  place.  A  length  behind  the  latter  came 
Nutwood.  Time,  1:434.  The  judges  promptly  disqualified 
De  La  Guerra  for  fouling  Nutwood.

were  half  lengths  apart  as  named,  three  lengths  from  Gordius, 
at  whose  heels  came  Lonnie  B.  As  they  neared  the  home- 
stretch the  two  leaders,  still  about  the  same  distance  apart, 
began  to  come  back  to  the  field.  Trix  ltd  Catch  'Em  into 
the  straight  half  a  length,  and  three  lengths  off  was  Tiliie  S., 


with  Lonnie  B.  at  her  saddle  girth.  Catch  'Em  then  went 
to  the  front  and  led  by  a  couple  of  lengths  up  to  the  last 
eighty  yards,  where  there  was  a  great  closing  up.  It  looked 
anyone's  race  up  to  the  last  stride,  but  Sullivan  lifted  Lonnie 
B.  in  a  winner  of  a  beautiful  race  by  a  nose,  Tiliie  S.  finishing 
second,  a  short  neck  from  Trix,  Gordius  another  half  length

To  an  excellent  start  Motto,  Chemuck,  Clacquer  was  the 
order.  At  the  half  Reno  had  run  into  the  lead,  Chemuck  but 
a  head  behind  him  however,  Motto  and  Clacquer  very  close 
up.  Motto  passed  the  lot  at  the  far  turn,  and  at  the  three- 
quarter  pole  led  by  a  length,  Chemuck  second,  with  El  Tirano 
another  length  away.  Motto  turned  wide,  and  Chemuck  shot 
up  close  to  the  rails,  in  a  moment  passing  the  old  mare.  Che- 
muck was  two  lengths  in  front  of  Motto  half-way  down  the 
straight,  and  won  handily  by  that  distance.  Motto  second, 
had  to  be  driven  out  hard  to  beat  Annie  Moore  half  a  length 
for  the  place.  El  Tirano  was  a  fair  fourth.  Time,  1:08|.

THIRTY-FIFTH  DAT — SATURDAY,  MAY  19. 

San  Franciscans  are  certainly  appreciative.  That  was 
demonstrated  again  this  afternoon,  when  between  3,000  and 
4,000  attended  the  races.  Six  events  were  carded,  and  the 
fields  were  of  good  size  and  the  quality  of  the  contestants 
good  in  most  of  them.  In  three  of  the  six  races  the  fin- 
ishes were  very  close,  and  the  feature  of  the  day's  sport 
was  Cadmus'  grand  win  of  the  California  Stakes,  a  handi- 
cap, mile  and  a  sixteenth,  in  1:47 J,  equalling  the  Golden 
State  record  at  the  distance.  He  was  closely  pressed  by 
another  Palo  A  lto-bred  colt,  Orizaba,  who  was  really  giving 
Cadmus  weight. 

The  track  was  fast  and  the  time  made  throughout  good. 
Rey  Alfonso  is  improving  with  every  race.  To-day  he  took 
up  123  pounds  and  won  at  five  furlongs  in  a  big  gallop  in 
1:01  J.  That  he  could  have  gone  the  route  this  afternoon  in 
1:01  few  doubt.  Longwell  easily  took  the  steeplechase,  old 
Hercules  running  into  the  place.  Vulcan,  a  10  to  1  shot, 
captured  the  initial  race  by  a  head,  dying  away  to  nothing  at 
the  end.  Had  the  race  been  twenty  yards  further  Polaski, 
twelfth  away  and  gaining  at  every  stride,  must  have  won.  Hal 
Fisher  proved  a  victor  in  the  second  to  the  extent  of  a  nose, 
and  he,  too,  was  on  the  die  at  the  close  to  such  an  extent  that 
had  Last  Chance  made  his  move  just  a  quarter  of  a  second 
before  he  did,  victory  would  have  perched  on  the  Hall  ban- 
ner. Lonnie  B.  is  a  remarkable  mare.  On  Friday  she  won 
a  very  hard  race  from  Tiliie  S.  by  less  than  two  inches.  To- 
day she  was  entered  in  the  gentlemen's  race,  and  asked  to 
carry  149  pounds,  which  she  did  at  a  mile  in  the  very  fast 
time  of  1:44A,  well  ridden  by  Henry  Forsland,  who  got  his 
mount  away  in  front  and  rated  her  well  throughout.  H. 
Smith,  King,  Sullivan,  Tuberville,  Allmark  and  Forsland 
rode  the  winners,  and  all  did  excellent  work.

ranging  irons  10  to  60  to  1.  The  start  was  not  good  or  very 
bad  either.  Nellie  Van,  Red  Rose,  Vulcan,  Roanoke  was  the 
order.  Polaski  was  twelfth  away.  Vulcan  was  going  likea 
flash,  and  past  the  half  led  by  a  head,  Nellie  Van  second,  half 
a  length  from  Red  Rose,  Roanoke  at  the  tatter's  heels.  Vul- 
can, Van  and  Red  Rose  ran  very  close  together  until  the 
final  turn  was  made.  Vulcan  came  away  in  the  straight  at  a 
great  pace,  and  it  looked  as  if  he  would  win  by  half  a  dozen 
lengths.  April  and  Polaski  got  through  the  bunch  half-way 
down,  and  Vulcan,  quitting  to  almost  a  walk,  just  managed 
to  last  long  enough  to  win  by  a  head  from  April,  who  beat

ers from  30  to  60  to  1.  Mamie  D.  ran  about  a  quarter  of  a

over  a  quarter  better,  Tuberville  being  up  on  her  withers, 
sawing  and  pulling  at  the  mare  for  dear  life.  He  finally 
stopped  her  between  the  eighth  and  quarter  poles,  and  after 
fixing  the  saddle  the  horses  were  finally  sent  away  to  a  good 
start.  Outright,  Hal  Fisher,  Chula  was  the  order.  At  the 
half  Outright  just  had  his  head  in  front  of  Chula's,  and  Hal 
Fisher  was  at  the  latter's  saddle-skirts.  Fisher  was  first  at 
the  three-quarters  by  a  head,  Outright  second,  as  far  from 
O'Bee,  Chula  a  close-up  fourth.  Last  Chance  was  sent  along 
in  the  homestretch,  and  though  catching  the  tiring  Hal

Gilead  7,  Lovdal  10,  Sir  Reel  15  and  Happy  Day  20  to  1. 
A  first-class  start  was  effected.  Happy  Day,  De  Bracey, 
Lovdal,  Gilead  was  the  order  of  the  leading  quartette.  Gil- 
ead and  De  Bracey  were  heads  apart  at  the  quarter-pole, 
a  length  in  front  of  Orizaba.  Lovdal  was  fourth.  The  favor- 
ite was  loafing  along  in  sixth  place.  At  the  half  there  was 
no  change  in  the  order,  but  Sullivan  was  letting  out  a  wrap 
or  two  on  Cadmus.  As  they  got  close  to  the  homestretch  De 
Bracey  was  beaten,  it  was  apparent,  and  Orizaba  shot  to  the 
fore,  closely  attended  by  Gilead,  who  had  Lovdal  at  his  heels. 
Cadmus  was  now  fifth.  Orizaba  opened  op  on  his  opponents 
in  the  straight,  and  running  pretty  close  to  the  rails,  looked 
a  winner  every  inch  up  to  the  last  thirty  yards.  Here  Cad- 
mus was  coming  along  on  the  outside  at  a  terrific  pace.  Chev- 
alier looked  back,  and  observing  how  fast  the  favorite  was 
coming,  gave  Orizaba  a  couple  of  stinging  cuts.  He  responded 
gamely,  but  Cadmus  had  far  the  most  speed,  and  won  by  half 
a  length,  Orizaba  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  Gilead, 
who  just  beat  Lovdal  a  nose  for  show.  Time,  1:47| — equal-

he  was  two  lengths  in  front  of  Model,  at  the  three-quarters 
about  the  same,  and  in  the  homestretch  was  under  restraint 
nearly  the  whole  way.  He  simply  romped  in  a  winner  by 
three  lengths  (which  distance  he  could  have  made  seven  or

Hotspur  was  an  even-money  favorite.  Floodmore  was  3 
to  1  at  the  opening,  2  to  1  at  the  close.  Lonnie  B.  opened  at 
3A,  went  to  5,  closed  at  4,  owing  to  the  backing  received  by 
Forsland  and  his  friends.  Dr.  Ross  was  at  12  and  Long  d'Or 
20  to  1.  Long  d'Or  created  considerable  excitement  by  run- 
ning away  with  Stem  for  a  little  over  a  furlong.  After 
numerous  breakaways  the  flag  fell  with  Lonnie  B.  in  front 
over  a  length,  Long  d'Or  second,  Floodmore  third.  LoDg 
d'Or  led  passing  the  quarter  by  a  length,  Floodmore  second, 
one  and  one-half  lengths  from  Lonnie  B.  Hotspur  was  fifth 
and  last,  and  getting  further  out  of  the  hunt  all  the  time. 
There  was  no  change  until  less  than  three-eighths  from  home. 
Here  Skinner  called  on  old  Hotspur,  but  he  did  not  gain  as 
fast  as  was  expected.  Long  d'Or  quit  near  the  homestretch, 
and  Forsland  sent  Lonnie  B.  to  the  front.  She  was  not  there- 
after headed,  winning  easily  by  six  lengths,  while  Skinner, 
who  rode  for  all  he  was  worth,  just  managed  to  land  old  Hot- 
spur second  by  a  head  from  Floodmore.  Time  time,  l:444,is 
remarkable  with  the  weight  up. 

THIRTY-SIXTH  DAY — TUESDAY,  MAY  22. 

Of  a  very  fair  quality  was  the  sport  to-day.  The  finishes 
in  four  of  the  events  were  excitiog  enough  for  most  race- 
goers, and  the  time  made  in  the  three  last  events  of  the  day 
was  far  above  the  average.  The  track  was  in  surprisingly 
good  shape,  considering  the  recent  rain.  Favorites  finished 
first  in  four  of  the  five  races,  so  that  the  talent  had  a  great 
day  of  it.  There  was  no  decrease  in  the  number  of  books, 
and  betting  was  quite  spirited  for  an  "off" day."  Chevalier 
again  rode  two  winners,  and  Hennessy,  Seaman  and  Coombs 
were  also  successful. 

Mendocino,  the  second  choice  of  the  talent,  captured  the 
first  race  quite  handily,  though  by  a  very  small  margin,  from 
King  Sam,  who  did  not  get  away  quite  so  well  as  Mendocino. 
Prince,  a  25-to-l  shot,  ran  from  the  rear  and  got  the  show, 
one  and  one-half  lengths  in  front  of  True  Briton. 

Miss  Ruth,  who  having  shown  excellent  form  in  her  recent 
races,  was  made  a  slight  favorite  in  the  second  event,  won  in 
a  big  gallop  by  three  lengths,  Coquette,  Washoe  and  Fore- 
most finishing  heads  apart  as  named.  Miss  Ruth  was  raised 
by  Col.  H.  I.  Thornt  n,  and  is  by  Sobrante,  dam  Ruth.  She 
gets  her  great  speed  from  Kyrle  Daly,  probably,  sire  of 
Sobrante. 

Motto,  favorite,  got  away  fourth  in  the  six-furlong  dash, 
went  to  the  front  at  the  end  of  the  first  furlong,  led  at  the  half 
pole  by  three  lengths,  at  the  head  of  the  homestretch  by  five, 
and  won  driven  out  from  Rube  Burrows  by  less  than  a  length. 
Trix  was  at  Burrows'  heels.  Motto  ran  the  last  five  lurlongs  in 
1:01  Hat. 

Lovdal,  anodds-on  favorite,  with  but  100  pounds  up,  had 
rather  an  easy  time  winning  the  fourth  race,  though  he  ran 
the  mile  in  the  excellent  time  of  1:42.  Last  Chance  was  sec- 
ond, a  length  behind,  Gordius  three  lengths  further  away, 
and  only  a  nose  from  Auteuil. 

Artist  won  the  last  race  by  a  length,  after  running  in  the 
rear  until  nearing  the  homestretch.  Here  Fly  had  enough, 
and  Chemuck  assumed  a  command  that  looked  as  if  it  might 
be  dangerous.  Artist  caught  her  about  fifty  yards  from  the 
finish,  though,  and  won  a  fast  race  cleverly.  He  was  the 
favorite,  and  a  lot  of  money  went  in  on  his  chances.

3  to  1.  Rube  Burrows  was  at  16  to  5,  Herald  3i  to  1,  St. 
Croix  5,  Trix  7,  Clacquer  S  to  1.  Clacquer,  Rube  Burrows, 
St.  Croix  was  the  order  to  a  straggling  start.  Motto  went 
through  the  bunch  in  the  first  100  yards,  and  had  opened  up 
three  lengths  in  the  run  to  the  half,  Rube  Burrows  second, 
two  lengths  in  front  of  Trix,  at  whose  heels  came  Clacquer. 
Motto  even  went  away  still  further  going  to  the  homestretch, 
into  which  she  was  first  by  five  lengths,  Rube  Burrows  sec- 
ond, two  lengths  from  Trix.  Rube  Burrows  closed  up 
a  lot  of  ground  in  the  final  quarter,  but  could  not  quite  catch

Chemuck  second  and  De  La  Guerra  third.  Fly  came  through 
the  bunch  like  a  flash  between  the  quarter  and  half  poles, 
and  at  the  half  had  opened  up  a  three-length  gap  on  Che- 
muck, who  was  second  a  length  from  Tillie  S.  Gradually 
the  leader  came  back  to  his  field,  so  that  at  the  final  turn  a 
length  was  the  extent  of  his  lead,  Chemuck  still  second,  as 
far  from  Tillie  S.  Artist  had  moved  up  fourth.  Fly  fell 
back  once  they  were  well  straightened  out,  and  Chemuck 
looked  for  a  time  very  much  like  a  winner.  Artist  had  turned 
very  close  against  the  inside  rails,  and  cut  off  a  lot  of  ground. 
He  swept  down  the  homestretch  at  a  great  pace.  Fifty  yards 
of  the  finish  he  had  headed  Chemuck,  and  after  a  short  tussle 
shook  her  ofl  and  won  by  a  length  cleverly.  Chemuck,  sec-

Kelly's  Contract  With  Owner  Green. 

There  have  been  various  opinions  expressed  and  conflict* 
ing  statements   made  during  the  past  two  or  three  weeks  in 
many  of  the  turf  journals  concerning  Directum  and  his  proh 
able  management  for  1894.    I  feel  that  it  is  just  and  propei 
that  a  clear  statement  of  the  facts  should  be  placed  before  tin 
public  through  your  columns.     As  regards  my  connectior 
with  Directum  and  his  owner,  Mr.  Green,  when  I  left  Pleas 
anton,  Cal.,  February  1,  1894,  to  accept  a  position  with  Du 
Bois  Bros.,  of  Denver,  Col.,  it  was  thoroughly   understood 
that  a  verbal  agreement  entered  into  between  Mr.  Green  am 
myself  that  I  was  to  have  the  horse  Directum  and  the  man 
Electrina  for  the  season  of  1S94.    In  fact,  Mr.  Green  pledge* 
himself,  in  the  presence  of  a  witness. that  no  other  man  shoub 
drive  Directum  during  the  year  1894.    It  was  agreed  upO) 
that  we  should  make  a  written  contract  in  accordance  witl-tf 
the  verbal  one  made  at  Pleasanton,  when  he  sent  the  horse  > 
to  me  at  Denver,  Col.     As  I   thought  Mr.  Green  an  honoi  I 
able  man  and  a  man  of  his  word,  a  verbal  contract  was  all  . 
that  I  deemed  necessary.     I  assured  him  that  I  must  be  cei 
tain  of  having  the  horses,  so  that  I  might  enter  them  in  race 
and  make  any  other  arrangements  that  I  saw  fit.    He  then 
upon  told  me  that  his  word  was  as  good  as  his  bond,  and  to) 
me  to  go  ahead  and  do  what  1  thought  was  right  and  nece 
sary,  and  that  he  would  leave  it  all  to  me.     Well,  I  was  cor  i 
fident,  entered  the  mare  in  several  stakes  and  made  arrangt 
meat  for  Directum,  in  all  of  which  I  kept  Mr.  Green  thoa 
oughly  posted ;  also  kept  him  advised  of  everything  done  b 
me  for  his  interest.    About  the  time  the  horses  were  to  1 1 
shipped  to  me  I  received  a  letter  from  Mr.  Green  saying  the 
had  made  a  conditional  sale  of  both  Directum  and  Electric 
to  Mr.  Mclver,  and  that  he  had  delivered  the  horses,  addle 
that  he  was  sorry  he  could  not  send  the  horses  to  me. 

This  is  the  treatment  I  received  at  the  hands  of  Mr.  Greeij  \ 
and  without  even  giving  me  the  preference,  or  the  gen  denial  * 
with  whom  1  am  at  present  associated,  a  chance  in  this  con 
ditional  sale,  he  simply  leases  to  other  parties  and  then  not 
fies  me  of  the  conditional  sale.    The  probabilities  are  that  i  ' 
could  have  secured  for  him  as  much  for  the  horses  as  he  tm 
ceives  at  present  had  I  for  a-  moment  suspected  that  he  wou 
ever  again  entertain  the  thought  of  leasing  them,  but  such      ' 
thing  was  never  hinted  at.     However,  there   are   two  boi       - 
fide  contracts  for  Directum  to  appear  in  Denver  and  Count 
Bluffs.     These  must  be  fulfilled,  no  matter  who  has  the  tei 
porary  management  of  the  horses  or  who  drives  him.     So  f 
as  Mr.  Hickok  or  Mr.  Mclver  are  concerned,  they  have  p 
best  wishes  for  success  with  Directum.    Of    course  havii 
driven  the  horse  oo  much  it  seems  like  losing  an  old  frier)

The  Ives  Pool  Bill. 


\t  is  not  believed  by  tbe  officials  of  the  Brooklyn  Jockey 
Club  who,  it  is  reasonable  to  suppose,  have  sought  compe- 
tent legal  advice.that  Judge  Roger  A.  Pryor'srecent  opinion, 
handed  down  in  the  General  Term  of  the  Court  of  Common 
Pleas,  will  at  all  seriously  affect  the  betting  question  at  the 
Gravesend  meeting.  Judge  Pryor's  opinion  was  written  on 
the  appealed  case  of  Robert  G.  Irving,  a  bookmaker,  against 
Joseph  B.  Britton,  to  recover  a  note  given  for  a  bet.  The  de 
fendant  refused  to  pay  the  note,  contending  that  the  debt  was 
a  gambling  debt  and  could  not  be  collected,  and  also  that 
bookmaking  and  pool-selling  are  contrary  to  the  provisions  of 
the  constitution,  which  says  :  "  Nor  shall  any  lottery  here- 
after be  authorised  or  any  sale  of  lottery  tickets  allowed  with- 
in this  State."  Judges  Pryor,  Daly  and  Bischofl  ali  agree 
that  the  debt  cannot  be  collected  because  it  is  a  gambling 
debt,  and  that  the  Ives  law  does  not  validate  gambling  con- 
tracts. As  to  the  Ives  law,  Judge  Pryor  holds,  Judge  Daly 
concurring,  in  effect,  that  the  bill  is  unconstitutional  because 
a  pool  or  a  horse-race  is  a  lottery,  and  the  Constitution  pro- 
hibits lotteries. 

Mr.  John  M.  Bowers,  attorney  for  the  Coney  Island  Jockey 
Club,  holds  that  Judge  Pryor's  decision  will  have  no  effect 
upon  racing.  Mr.  Bowers  says  :  "  The  decision  of  the  Gen- 
eral Term  of  the  Common  Pleas  will  have  no  bearing  what- 
ever upon  racing  associations.  The  suit  in  the  Common 
Pleas  was  to  collect  a  bet  or  wager.  The  enforcement  of  bets 
or  wagers  by  courts  has  been  against  the  statute  of  this  State 
for  ages,  and  no  one  thought  of  conferring  such  power  by  the 
introduction  and  passage  of  the  Ives  Pool  Bill.  It  was,  how- 
ever, afterward  claimed  that  the  eflecf  of  the  bill  was  not  only 
to  permit  bookmaking  at  race  tracks,  but  that  it  permitted 
the  enforcement  of  wagers,  and  this  was  distinctly  held  by 
Judge  Daniels  in  the  case  of  Brennan  vs.  Brighton  Beach 
Racing  Association,  06  Hun.,  1SS.  Thedecision  of  the  Com- 
mon Pleas  is  directly  to  the  contrary.  We  presume  the 
decision  of  the  General  Term  of  the  Supreme  Court  is  en- 
titled to  quite  as  much  credit  as  that  of  the  Common  Pleas, 
but  even  if  the  Common  Pleas  is  right  it  matters  nothing. 

"  It  was  the  law  of  this  State  for  fifty  years  prior  to  the 
passage  of  Section  351  of  the  Penal  Code,  which  prohibited 
bookmaking,  that  bets  could  not  be  collected  by  action  at  law; 
but  during  all  that  time  it  was  not  an  unlawful  act  or  a  penal 
offense  to  make  books  at  the  race  tracks  or  elsewhere.  This 
statote  (section  351)  was  passed  in  1S77,  and  was  really  the 
■result  of  the  enormous  amount  of  public  betting  which  was 
done  in  this  city  upon  the  result  of  the  Presidential  election 
of  1876  and  the  discussion  thereafter  as  to  what  disposition 
should  be  made  by  the  stakeholders  of  the  money.  All  that 
the  new  statute  did  was  to  forbid  the  opening  of  public  re- 
sorts for  the  recording  of  bets,  and  from  that  time  on  it  was  a 
penal  offence  to  do  so.  The  statute,  however,  lay  dormant  so 
far  as  affecting  race  courses  for  many  years,  but  finally  was 
enforced  in  the  City  of  New  York,  and  by  degrees  interfered 
very  largely  with  the  successful  running  of  Jerome  Park. 
About  the  year  1886  an  effort  was  made  to  indict  some  of  the 
Kings  County  race  tracks  under  this  statute.  The  cases  were 
tried  several  times,  but  no  conviction  was  ever  had,  each  case 
resulting  in  a  disagreement  of  the  jury. 

"  This  enforcement  of  the  statute,  as  in  the  case  of  the  en- 
forcement of  any  other  laws  which  are  really  obnoxious  when 
once  enforced,  led  to  the  passage  of  the  Ives  Pool  Bill  of 
1887.  Its  effect  was  simply  to  provide  that  the  section  of  the 
Penal  Code  above  referred  to  should  not  apply  to  the  grounds 
of  racing  associations  during  thirty  days  in  each  year.  The 
plain  effect  of  this  was  t9  repeal  the  penal  statute  and  to 
permit  bookmaking  on  race  tracks  at  such  periods. 

"  It  is  idle  to  talk  about  the  act  being  unconstitutional,  be- 
cause the  Constitution  did  not  prevent  bookmaking.  and  no 
one  has  ever  made  a  suggestion.  If  the  Legislature  had  power 
to  pass  Section  351,  it  had  power  to  appeal  or  amend  it.  In 
addition  to  all  this,  the  Court  of  Appeals  flatly  decided  the 
question  in  favor  of  the  race  tracks.  This  was  in  a  criminal 
prosecution  entitled  The  People  versus  Wynn,  which  affirmed 
the  decision  of  the  General  Term  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
this  department,  holding  that  it  was  not  unlawful  to  take 
money  to  bet  at  a  race  track.  Such  affirmance  is  reported  in 
128  N.  Y.,  599. 

"  Several  previous  efforts  have  been  made  to  obtain  from 
the  courts  some  construction  of  this  *ct  against  its  plain  in- 
tent and  meaning,  and  a  decision  somewhat  similar  to  that 
now  made  by  the  Common  Pleas  was  rendered  by  Judge  Mc- 
Adam  in  the  case  of  De  Lacy  vs.  Adams,  decided  something 
over  a  year  ago.  An  appeal  was  taken  to  the  General  Term 
of  the  Superior  Court,  and  there  the  racing  associations  ob- 
tained leave  to  file  a  brief  as  to  the  validity  of  this  act, 
which  covered  every  question  now  passed  upon  by  the 
Common  Pleas,  and  that  court  reversed  Judge  McAdams' 
order.  It  may  be  safely  affirmed,  notwithstanding  the  de- 
cision of  the  Common  Pleas,  that  the  act  is  perfectly  con- 
stitutional ;  does  not  even  violate  the  statute  against  lot- 
teries; and,  finally,  even  if  the  Common  Pleas,  though  now 
standing  against  the  Supreme  Court,  the  Superior  Court 
and  Court  of  Appeals  should  ultimately  turn  out  to  be 
right,  it  would  not  affect  the  object  and  intent  of  the  Ives 
Pool  Bill,  which  was  to  permit  bookmaking  at  the  race 
tracks  during  certain  specified  periods." 

Judge  Pryor's  decision  is  cause  for  a  great  deal  of  elation 
on  the  part  of  the  poolmen,  who  have  long  waged  war  against 
the  race  tracks.  Its  immediate  effect,  as  previously  stated,  is 
to  establish  the  fact  that  a  bet  made  on  a  horse  cannot  be  col- 
lected at  law.  As  to  its  effect  upon  the  Gravesend  meeting, 
it  may  furnish  the  poolroom  keepers  an  opportunity  to  harass 
the  officials  of  the  track,  but  if  arrests  are  made  the  race- 
track people  say  that  an  injunction  will  be  asked  by  the 
Brooklyn  Jockey  Club,  and  the  case  will  then  go  on  through 
the  courts  until  it  is  finally  decided  in  the  Court  of  Appeals. 
Mayor  Schieren,  of  Brooklyn,  is  quoted  as  saying  that  he 
will  not  interfere  with  betting  at  the  Gravesend  meeting  un- 
less the  Corporation  Counsel  decides  that  he  has  full  power 
to  do  so.  Ex-Judge  Henry  M.  Whitehead  and  General  B. 
F.  Tracey,  when  interviewed  on  the  subject,  both  stated  that, 
in  their  opinion,  Judge  Pryor's  decision  would  have  no  ef- 
fect whatever  on  either  thoroughbred  or  trotting  sport.  The 
decision,  they  state,  simply  means  that  a  gambling  debt  can- 
not be  collected  at  law.  This  seems  to  be  the  general  view, 
and  the  opinion  further  prevails  that  Judge  Pryor,  who  is  a 
well-known  figure  on  race  tracks,  went  entirely  out  of  his  way 


our  esteemed  contemporaries  discuss  too  seriously  his  recent 
decision  that  the  Ives  Bill  is  unconstitional  and  that  betting 
on  racing  is  illegal  in  New  York,  they  should  pause  to  con- 
sider that  the  Court  of  Appeals  is  in  the  habit  of  reversing 
the  decisions  of  Judge  Pryor  and  that  the  assumption  that  a 
wager  is  equivalent  to  a  lottery  has  no  foundation  in  law  or 
in  common  sense.  It  is  useless  for  laymen  to  argue  about 
questions  which  must  be  adjusted  by  legal  tribunals,  and, 
therefore,  the  constitutionality  of  the  Ives  Bill  is  out  of  our 
province.  But  nobody,  except  a  Judge  of  the  Common  Pleas, 
could  ever  be  induced  to  believe  that  to  bet  upon  a  horse  in 
a  public  race  is  exactly  the  same  as  buying  a  tickeL  in  a  lot- 
tery, and  as  Judge  Pryor's  decision  is  based  upon  this  silly 
fallacy  it  is  as  sure  to  be  reversed  as  racing  is  sure  to  exist 
so  long  as  men  are  human. — Spirit  of  the  Times.

to  drag  the  constitutionality  of  the  Ives  Bill  into  the  matter. 

It  is  said  that  Judge  Pryor  has  an  overpowering  ambition  to  :  and  tlie  trolling  purses  into  four  moneys, 

be  known  as  an  authority  on  Constitutional  law,  but  before    lister. 


At  the  meeting  of  the  Driving  Club  last  evening  there  were 
present  Directors  Dr.  H.  A.  Spencer  (President),  Jasper 
Babcock,  F.  M.  Burkholder,  H.  O.  Hickox,  George  W.  Sill 
and  C.  F.  Bunch. 

D.  J.  Flannery,  Valley  Began  and  P.  Keiser  were  elected 
to  membership  by  a  unanimous  vote,  and  in  like  manner  Miss 
Maud  Littlefield  was  elected  an  honorary  member. 

The  entries  for  the  matinee  on  May  30th  were  opened 
and  read.  There  was  but  one  entry  for  the  free-for-all,  and 
it  was  declared  off,  having  failed  to  fill  satisfactorily.  There 
were  fourteen  entries  in  the  three-minute  class  and  seven  in 
the  2:40  class,  and  the  Vendome  Stock  Farm  entered  Tip- 
tinous  and  W.  Moir  entered  Don  Pancho  to  go  against  time 
to  beat  three  minutes. 

The  entries  were  referred  to  the  Committee  on  Classifica- 
tion, who,  after  a  brief  consultation,  reported  them  as  fol- 
lows, having  divided  the  three-minute  class  into  two  fields: 

First  contest,  three-minute  class,  No.  1 — J.  M.  Morehead's 
s  m  Belladona,  F.  M.  Stern's  blk  g  Bonaparte,  W.  D.  Van 
Sieclen's  b  m  Alice,  Bert  Andrus*  blk  g  Nig,  S.  W.  Mc^ar- 
ley's  b  m  Nellie,  A.  E.  Morrison's  s  g  Ailand,  Dr.  W.  D. 
McDougall's  blk  m  Black  Bess. 

Second  contest,  2:40  class — D.  J.  Flannery's  b  m  Betsy  R. 
(pacer),  A.  E.  Morrison's  ch  s  Inca  Jr.,  Charles  A.  Lynde's

Third  contest,  three-minute  class,  No.  5 — Ben  Davis*  b  m 
Nellie  Bly,  S.  E.  Portal's  gr  g  Jib,  Barstow's  s  m  Dell,  I.  A. 
Hatch's  b  m  Lilly  H.,  A.  Hables'  s  g  Jesse,  R.  Webb's  b  s 
Hideaway,  J.  Gallegos  Jr.'s  b  m  Chispa  (pacer). 

Weights  were  waived,  but  on  this  occasion,  owing  to  the 
number  of  entries,  the  distance  rule  will  be  enforced.  In  the 
club  contests  all  horses  will  go  to  road  carts  as  usual.  At  some 
time  prior  to  the  2:40  class  race  Tiptinous  and  Don  Pancho 
will  be  driven  for  records,  and  for  this  event  the  judges  will 
be  appointed  by  the  President  of  the  Agricultural  Society. 

For  the  club  contests  President  Spencer  appointed  Jasper 
Babcock,  H.  0.  Hickox  and  T.  W.  Hobson  judges,  and  K. 
M.  Higgins,  F.  J.  Brandon  and  F.  M.  Burkholder  timers. 

It  was  decided  that  $150  be  set  apart  for  trophies,  $50  to 
each  contest,  $25  for  first,  $15  for  second  and  $10  each  for 
prize. 

The  matter  of  help  was  left  in  the  hands  of  the  Finance 
Committee. 

The  Finance  Committee  asked  to  be  relieved  from  the  duty 
of  purchasing  trophies,  and  the  burden  was  laid  upon  the 
shoulders  of  Mr.  Babcock  and  Mr.  Lynde. 

The  bid  of  George  Hack  of  $10  for  the  privilege  of  selling 
cigars  and  temperance  drinks  was  accepted. — Mercury.

At  a  meeting  of  the  directors  of  the  Fortieth  Agricultural 
District  held  yesterday  afternoon  it  was  definitely  decided  to 
hold  the  annual  fair  of  the  district  at  Woodland. 

The  Fortieth  Agricultural  District  includes  the  counties  of 
Yolo  and  Colusa.  At  the  first  meeting  of  the  directors  held 
a  year  ago  it  was  agreed  that  the  fair  should  be  held  in  Wood- 
land in  1893  and  that  if  Colusa  desired  the  fair  in  1894  she 
should  have  it  upon  giving  notice  by  the  first  of  April  this 
year. 

The  notice  was  duly  given  and  the  Yolo  directors  had  aban- 
doned all  expectation  of  having  the  fair  here  this  year,  and 
had  arranged  to  be  contented  with  a  fall  racing  meeting  given 
under  the  auspicefl  of  the  Yolo  Agricultural  Association 

Colusa  county  has  evidently  done  some  hard  thinking  ofrer 
the  project  of  holding  a  fair  and  has  concluded  that  it  would 
be  a  good  thing  to  let  alone  this  year. 

At  the  meeting  yesterday  there  were  present  Directors  Ar- 
nold and  McElroy,  of  Colusa,  and  Adams,  Woodard  and 
Spaulding,  of  Yolo.  Mr.  Arnold  on  behalf  of  the  Colusa  di- 
rectors said  they  were  willing  to  waive  tbe  right  of  hold- 
ing the  annual  fair  to  Yolo  County  this  year  under  certain 
considerations. 

The  Colusa  directors  have  received  from  the  Supervisors 
of  that  county  an  appropriation  of  $500  conditioned  upon 
holding  the  fair  there.  About  $400  of  this  amount  has  been 
spent  in  track  improvements.  If  the  Yolo  arm  of  the  part- 
nership would  agree  to  replace  that  amount  in  the  funds  of 
Colusa  county,  the  Colusa  directors  would  abandon  to  Wood- 
land all  the  right  to  the  fair  this  year,  and  in  case  of  desiring 
the  fair  there  next  year  would  repay  to  the  Yolo  directors 
the  amount  advanced. 

After  some  discussion  the  proposition  was  accepted,  and  it 
was  agreed  that  if  Colusa  desired  the  fair  next  year  her  di- 
rectors shall  notify  their  Yolo  brethren  on  or  before  March 
1st,  otherwise  the  fair  shall  go  to  Woodland. 

By  gaining  the  District  fair  this  year  Woodland  will  re- 
ceive from  the  State  premium  money  to  the  amount  af  $2,500. 
Arrangements  had  already  been  made  for  a  splendid  fall  rac- 
ing meeting,  but  this  improvement  in  the  outlook  will  en- 
able the  directors  to  hold  a  fair  that  will  doubtless  be  the 
envy  of  every  district  in  the  circuit. — Woodland  Mail. 


The   Small  Breeders'    Harvest. 


It  is  not  always  an  easy  matter  to  correctly  diagnose  the 
present  or  prospective  condition  of  a  business,  but  surely  th* 
indications  for  a  healthy  revival  and  prosperity  of  the  trot- 
ting horse  business  are  such  that  even  he  who  runs  may  read. 
So  much  revival  has  already  taken  place,  and  the  environ- 
ments are  so  favorable  that  even  a  novice  should  be  able  to 
recognize  the  fact  that  the  trotting  horse  business  is  going  to 
be  one  of  the  very  first  to  rebound,  as  the  general  financial 
embargo  is  raised,  and  everything  now  favors  the  small 
breeder.  Breeding  stock  is  yet  low,  and  the  large  breeders 
hold  the  surplus,  and  many  of  them  must  sell,  and  hence  the 
small  breeder  or  beginner  can  stock  up  at  bottom  figures. 
Again,  the  small  breeders  own  but  few  of  the  great  trotting 
sires,  but  stallion  fees  are  so  low  that  every  one  owning  a 
good  mare  can  afford  to  breed  her  to  a  first-class  trotting  sire, 
and  as  nothing  can  be  more  certain  than  that  such  produce 
will  be  in  active  demand  at  good  prices  when  ready  to  sell, 
a  good  profit  on  the  transaction  is  as  sure  as  anything  can  be 
that  is  at  the  mercies  of  the  future.  Three  years  ago  the  be- 
ginner had  to  pay  from  $500  up  for  a  good  prospective  young 
broodmare,  and  then  pay  from  $300  to  $500  to  breed  her  to  a 
stallion  of  recognized  merit,  and  in  the  palmy  days  of  the 
business  he  was  in  luck  if  the  produce  would  bring  the  ser- 
vice fee  at  weaning  time.  Now,  really  first-class  fillies  and 
broodmares  can  be  purchased  for  $200  to  $300,  and  can  be 
bred  to  trotting  sires  of  national  repute  at  from  $25  to  $50, 
and  from  present  indications,  by  the  time  the  produce  is 
ready  for  the  harness,  prices  will  be  well  up  to  the  old  notch. 
It  is  not  necessary  to  have  fifty  or  a  hundred  head  of  trot- 
ting stock  in  order  to  breed  to  a  profit.  A  very  few  brood- 
mares well  mated  with  good  trotting  sires  will  bring  a  neater 
and  cleaner  profit  than  fifty  broodmares  indifferently  man- 
aged. The  success  of  nearly  every  large  breeding  establish- 
ment traces  to  one  or  two  great  broodmares,  and  the  small 
breeder  who  gets  a  hold  of  one  or  two  young  mares  now  that 
prove  great  producers,  is  the  man  that  will  make  the  clean 
profit  out  of  the  business,  and  any  farmer  or  fancier  who  has 
any  inclination  to  invest  in  a  prospect  for  either  breeding  or 
racing  purposes,  should  take  time  by  the  forelock  and  make 
his  investments  now  while  every  feature  of  the  business  fa- 
vors the  buyer. — Western  Horseman. 


To  Sell  Garfield  Track. 


Lease  and  effects  of  the  Garfield  Park  race  track  are  to  be 
sold  to  the  highest  bidder  by  order  of  Judge  McConnell.  An 
order  to  this  effect  was  entered  yesterday  in  the  suit  com- 
menced by  Grommes  &  Ullrich,  who  held  an  unsatisfied 
judgment  against  the  racing  concern  for  $899.92.  After  the 
suit  was  filed  other  creditors  intervened,  and  these  will  now 
share  in  the  proceeds  of  the  sale.  The  largest  claim  on  the 
list  is  chat  of  Reilly  Bros,  for  $2,446  and  the  Pinkerton 
agency  is  second  with  $2,187.50.  The  list  of  properties  in- 
cludes the  lease  of  the  property  for  track  purposes  at  $25,000 
a  year,  which  terminates  February  2S,  1895  ;  the  grand  stand, 
an  electric-light  plant,  bookmakers'  booths,  a  steam-heating 
plant,  and  bills  receivable  ranging  from  the  account  with 
the  Matthews  soda  water  company  for  $7.22  to  that  of  M.  C. 
McDonald  for  $2,937.— Chicago  Inter  Ocean,  May  17. 


$100,000  in  Purees. 


This  amount  will  be  hung  up  in  purses  in  the  Northern 
spring  and  summer  circuit  this  year.  Horsemen  should  not 
overlook  the  golden  opportunity  offered  here,  for  no  circuit  in 
America  affords  better  betting  and  better  racing  than  does 
the  Northern.  Entries  close  June  lstforthePortland.Oregon,

[May  26, 1894 


Inflammation  of    the    Lungs    (Pneumonia). 

At  this  season  of  the  year  (which  of  late  has  proven  so 
very  changeable),  inflammation  of  the  lungs  in  horses  is  a 
very  serious  ailment  to  deal  with.  While  not  as  prevalent  in 
the  equine  species  as  the  disease  has  been  in  man,  yet  the  re- 
ports that  we  have  received  of  its  prevalence  in  hsrses  has 
caused  us  to  prepare  our  readers  for  this  trouble  by  explain- 
ing the  cause,  symptoms  and  treatment  of  the  same. 

Pneumonia  is  an  inflammation  of  the  intimate  structure  of 
the  lungs.  The  causes  of  this  trouble  are  from  sudden  and 
frequent  changes  of  temperature,  fatigue  from  a  hard  or  long 
journey,  especially  if  the  atmosphere  is  cold  or  damp,  causing 
a  congestion  or  stasis  of  blood,  which  is  apt  to  terminate  in 
inflammatory  action,  or  from  an  extension  of  inflammatory 
action  of  adjacent  organs,  such  as  catarrh  of  the  nasal 
passages,  distemper,  bronchitis,  etc..  or  it  can  be  produced  by 
the  iahalation  of  irritating  gases,  is  often  due  to  improper 
ventilation  of  stables,  or  from  penetrating  wounds  in  the 
chest.  But  by  far  the  most  prevalent  cause  is  a  chill  to  the 
surface  of  the  body  while  in  a  heated  condition. 

Symptoms — The  first  appreciable  symptom  is  generally  a 
coldness  of  the  surface  of  the  body,  the  ears  and  legs  becom- 
ing suddenly  cold,  and  a  cold  and  damp  sweat  breaking  out 
overthe  body,  attracts  theattentionof  theatlendant,  when  he 
will  observe  an  anxious  appearance  of  the  countenance,  and 
the  breathing  will  then  be  noticed  to  be  quickened  and  la- 
bored at  both  nostrils  and  flanks.  At  the  latter  it  will  seem 
to  be  of  a  double  and  jerky  nature,  and  an  increase  in  the 
number  of  the  respiratory  efforts  from  ten  to  twelve  to  the 
possibly  twenty-tive  or  thirty  per  minute.  The  heart's  action, 
as  felt  either  by  the  pulse,  which  can  be  found  by  pressure  of 
the  finger  on  the  artery  at  the  inner  side  of  the  lower  jaw- 
bone, or  over  the  regiou  of  the  heart  itself,  behind  the  left 
shoulder,  will  be  increased  in  frequency  and  force,  varying 
from  the  normal  standard,  which  is  forty  beats  per  minute,  to 
possibly  seventy  or  eighty.  An  elevation  of  the  temperature 
of  the  body,  which  can  readily  be  tested  by  the  finger  intro- 
duced in  the  mouth,  and  under  the  tongue,  or  proven  accu- 
rately by  the  thermometer,  when  it  will  be  found  to  differ 
from  the  normal  standard,  which  is  ninety-nine  degrees  to 
possibly  104  to  106  degrees. 

The  animal  will  stand  with  the  head  lowered  and  the  ears 
pendant;  the  elbows  will  be  found  turned  out,  so  as  to  take 
the  pressure  off  the  chest,  and  with  the  head  facing  a  door  or 
winaow,  as  he  is  desirous  of  obtaining  all  the  fresh  air  possi- 
ble to  relieve  the  threatened  sense  of  suffocation.  A  closer 
examination  will  reveal  a  marked  difference  in  the  appear- 
ance of  the  lining  membrane  of  the  nose.  Instead  of  that 
pale  rose  color,  as  seen  in  health,  it  will  now  assume  a  livid, 
purple  hue. 

By  placing  the  ear  to  the  windpipe,  or  over  the  chest  walls, 
there  will  be  heard  an  increased  murmur  over  that  portion 
of  the  lung  that  is  as  yet  free  from  invasion,  and  a  loss  of 
sound  over  that  portion  that  is  involved;  then,  by  tapping 
the  chest  walls  with  the  finger,  that  portion  of  the  lung  that 
is  involved  can  be  easily  defined.  The  sound  elicited  from 
the  healthy  lung  will  be  resonant  in  character,  like  beating 
on  a  drum  head,  while  over  the  parts  involved  there  will  be 
a  dullness  or  percussion,  like  the  finger  striking  on  a  solid 
body. 

Now,  depending  on  the  amount  of  lung  tissue  involved  and 
the  vitality  of  the  patient,  will  depend  the  treatment.  The 
following  general  plan  of  treatment  will  be  applicable  in 
ordinary  cases:  Turn  the  animal  in  a  loose  box  stall  where 
the  air  is  pure  but  not  too  cold  ;  blanket  the  body  comfort- 
ably and  bandage  the  legs  ;  secure  the  blanket  by  pins,  using 
no  surcingle  around  the  chest,  as  the  patient  requires  the  full 
and  free  use  of  the  chest  walls  in  breathing.  In  the  early 
period  of  the  trouble,  that  is,  when  in  the  congestive  stage, 
after  the  animal  has  been  blanketed  and  legs  have  been  band- 
aged, from  four  to  six  ounces  of  whiskey  (depending  on  the 
age  and  size  of  the  animal)  should  be  given  as  a  drench,  so  as 
to  break  the  chill  and  bring  about  a  reaction,  and,  two  hours 
later,  fifteen  to  twenty  drops  of  tincture  of  aconite  can  be 
given  every  three  hours  for  the  first  twenty-four  hours,  when, 
if  the  force  and  frequency  of  the  pulse  is  found  to  have  been 
lessened,  the  same  agent  and  the  quantity  can  be  given,  but 
once  every  six  hours  instead  of  every  three  hours. 

If  at  the  outset  the  breathing  is  very  laborious,  mustard 
blisters  to  the  sides  of  the  chests  are  called  for,  the  blistered 
surfaces  to  be  covered  by  paper  to  hold  the  strength  of  the 
same,  and  give  one  of  the  following  balls  every  four  hours  : 
Carbonate  of  ammonia,  10  drachms;  pulverized  root  gentian, 
6  drachms.  Mix  and  make  into  six  balls.  Let  the  food  be 
simple,  cooling  and  nutritious,  and  small  in  bulk,  such  as 
bran  and  oats  scalded  and  given  cold,  or  oatmeal  gruel,  a 
little  good  hay,  a  few  sliced  apples,  or  potatoes  or  carrots  : 
in  fact,  try  and  tempt  the  animal  to  partake  of  a  little  food, 
and  do  not  be  afraid  of  the  animal  drinking  cold  water,  as 
small  and  repeated  draughts  of  cold  water  will  prove  bene- 
ficial to  him,  by  appeasing  his  thirst,  and  at  the  same  time 
acting  as  a  valuable  febrifuge.  If  there  is  much  prostration, 
give  whiskey  and  milk,  three  of  the  former  to  four  of  the 
latter,  twice  a  day. 

Try  and  keep  up  the  strength  of  the  animal,  as  the  disease 
in  itself  is,  under  favorable  circumstances,  a  self-limited  one, 
and  the  sheet  anchor  of  treatment  is  to  support  nature 
through  it. — K.  t-\.  Fiolay,  D.  V.  8.,  in  Spirit  of  the

Horse's   Feet    and    Heels. 


Now  is  the  time  to  examine  the  hoofs  and  heels  of  your 
horses.  Have  the  shoes  removed  before  your  eyes,  examine 
the  "frog,"  look  into  it  closely  to  see  if  "thrush"  exists. 
Have  a  piece  of  thin  stick,  or  better,  an  old  paper-knife,  pass 
it  through  the  centre  frog  cleft,  then  if  "  thrush  "  exists,  the 
"nose"  will  know  it  by  the  smell  of  the  paper  knife.  If 
thrush  does  exi*t,  have  thp  foot  washed  out  clean  with  warm 
water  and  carbolic  soap,  then  dry  it  off  and  apply  calomel. 
Kix  it  in  the  cleft  with  some  medicated  cotton,  or  raw  will  do. 
Repeat  this  every  night  until  a  cure  is  effected. 

Next  examine  the  hecln,  the  inside  heel  especially,  for 
corns  may  exist,  and  now  is  the  time  to  treat  them  and  pre- 
vent lameness  in  summer  time,  when  the  roads  are  dry  and 
hard,  and  von  have  use  for  every  horse  you  own.  Look  for 
Mond  cracks  an' quarter  cracks.  Let  these  have  attention  at 
once.  Or  the  dry  weather  anil  roads  will  open  these  crncks, 
■  reallog  troublesome  laipeness.  Have  shoes  well  seated,  so 
that  the  weight  of  the  animal  will  rest  on  the  horny  wall  of 


the  hoof  and  not  on  the  sole.  Never  allow  the  wall  of  the 
hoof  to  be  rasped.  It  is  wrong.  The  outside  of  the  hoof  is 
of  a  fine,  delicate  nature,  made  up  of  fine  horny  pillars.  This 
outside  surface  is  very  smooth  and  shiny,  although  it  may  not 
look  so,  but  when  you  examine  an  unsophisticated  colt  you 
will  find  it  so.  The  smith  will  get  his  rasp  on  it,  if  you  do 
not  look  out.  and  then  we  have  sand  and  quarter  cracks. 

Take  care  that  the  nail  holes  are  high  enough  without  be- 
ing too  high,  at  the  heels  most  especially,  for  this  binds  the 
hoofs  and  causes  the  horse  to  go  like  a  cat  on  hot  bricks.  A 
good,  firm  clip  at  the  toe  of  the  shoe  is  of  great  service  in 
keeping  the  Bhoe  firm,  and  when  the  shoe  "  fits  the  foot  "  it 
will  keep  it  in  its  proper  place  till  worn  out. 

Mind  the  old  stubs  of  the  nails  are  gotten  out  of  the  wall 
before  fitting  the  shoe.  If  they  remain,  the  horn  will  break 
away  and  you  will  have  a  bad  .foot.  Remember  the  saying, 
"  No  foot,  no  horse." 

Examine  the  heels.     If  they  are  sore  and  scurry-looking, 

dress  them  well  with  benzorate  zinc  ointment  morning  and 

evening  till  well,  but  wash  them  clean  first.  These  suggestions 

area  few  of  many  which  are  important  just  now. — Baltimore

mineral  industry  af  California,  prepared  by  the  statistician 
of  the  State  Mining  Bureau,  under  direction  of  J.  J.  Craw- 
ford, State  Mineralogist. 

By  special  request  of  Secretary  Smith,  Secretary  LeLong, 
of  the  State  Board  of  Horticulture  has  revised  and  added  fig- 
ures for  1893  to  his  able  paper,  "The  Horticultural  Indus- 
try," as  prepared  for  the  Resources  of  California,  which  pub- 
lication is  now  exhausted.  Then  comes  Weather  Bureau 
Director  Barwick  with  his  annual  meteorological  review. 

The  reports  from  the  District  Associations  embrace  a 
higher  character  of  information  than  heretofore.  This  work 
was  directed  to  be  done  at  the  instance  of  the  State  Board  of 
Examiners,  in  substitution  of  much  unsought-for  matter  usu- 
ally published.  These  reports  now  give  a  short  descriptive 
review  of  the  resources  of  each  county.  As  a  rule  the  dis- 
tricts embrace  but  one  eounty,  and  they  are  a  most  creditable 
showing,  considering  the  brief  time  given  for  tneir  prepara- 
tion, as  the  decision  of  the  board  was  not  made  official  until 
February  1st,  the  date  of  receipt  of  the  report  by  the  State 
Board  of  Agriculture. 

There  being  forty-three  districts,  these  reviews  give  much 
information  that  is  valuable  in  an  industrial  sense  upon  the 
whole  State,  and  they  will  prove  of  interest  to  all  concerned. 

In  addition  will  be  found  therein  the  latest  and  most  ac- 
curate map  of  the  State,  and  some  neat  half-tone  cuts  show- 
ing the  mode  and  manner  of  harvesting  cereals,  citrus  fruit 
culture,  etc. 

All  in  all,  it  is  a  valuable  book,  showing  great  improve- 
ment over  the  usual  make-up,  and  as  it  is  the  intention  of  the 
State  Board  of  Agriculture  to  improve  it  each  year,  it  will 
furnish  annually  to  all  applicants  a  resume  of  the  State. 

Northern  Circuit. 


For  the  benefit  of  those  who  intend  going  through  the 
Northern  Circuit  this  season,  we  beg  leave  to  say  through 
your  columns  that  dates  are  so  arranged  horsemen  can  have 
the  benefit  of  both  this  and  the  California  fall  circuit.  The 
Northern  circuit  begins  at  Portland  on  June  30th,  from  here 
to  Anaconda  thence  to  Butte,  from  Butte  to  Helena,  then 
back  to  Portland,  ending  here  in  time  to  catch  all  but  the 
first  three  days  of  the  State  Fair  at  Sacramento.  No  less 
than  $100  will  be  hung  up  in  this  circuit,  which  of  itself  is 
a  strong  drawing  card  for  a  large  field  of  horses.  Enquiries 
are  being  made  from  the  out-lining  district  with  the  view  of 
making  entries,  and  a  brighter  prospect  for  a  lively  meeting 
through  out  this  circuit  was  never  known. 

From  every  village  and  hamlet  comes  the  news  of  large 
stables  of  horses  being  trained,  and  every  professional  trainer 
in  the  country  has  all  he  can  do,  besidts  a  great  many  new 
men  are  in  the  field  this  year,  and  you  need  not  be  surprised 
if  Oregon  turns  out  a  "Williams"  the  coming  season.  We 
regret  very  much  to  learn  that  the  genial  knights  of  the  rib- 
bon, Keating  and  Shaner,  will  not  be  with  us  this  year,  as 
they  are,  we  are  informed,  billed  for  the  big  Eastern  circuit. 
We  all  wish  them  success  in  their  new  fields  and  hope  they 
will  beableto  carry  their  colors  to  victory,  thereby  adding 
glory  to  the  Pacific  Coast  horses  and  a  lucrative  reward  to 
these  enterprising  men.  We  hope  California  will  be  repre- 
sented by  other  stables  in  this  circuit,  as  railroad  rates  have 
been  secured  furnishing  one  fare  for  the  round  trip,  and  every 
convenience  is  being  arranged  for  the  accommod«tiou  of 
those  from  a  distance.  Our  tracks  are  all  full  mile  tracks 
and  in  splendid  condition  ;  the  stables  are  large,  roomy  and 
well  ventilated ;  good  water  and  feed,  and  the  best  climate 
in  the  world  for  summer  racing. 

1  .'niic  a  number  of  Oregon  horses  will  be  in  attendance  at 
your  fall  meetings  beginning  at  Sacramento  and  you  need 
not  be  surprised  if  you  find  a  "  Klamath"  or  "Challenger 
Chief"  injthegaug.  Phcknix. 

IWtland,  May  15,  1894, 


The  great  $5,000  purse  for  2:09  pacers,  offered  by  the  Buf- 
falo Driving  Park,  has  been,  without  question,  correctly 
named  the  "  Sensation  Purse,"  judging  alone  by  the  entry 
list.  It  was  to  be  expected  that  a  purse  of  that  value  would 
draw  together  a  large  field  of  horses,  more  especially  as  the 
class  set— 2:09— would  shut  out  the  Mascots,  Flying  Jibs, 
Directs,  Hal  Pointers  and  others  of  that  ilk,  but  that  there 
would  be  thirty-four  pacers  from  twenty-three  different  stables 
was  scarcely  dreamed  of.  The  list,  as  sent  in  by  Secretary 
Hawley  is  as  follows :

under  the  wire  first  in  six  hard-fought  races  last  season ;

either  won  the  race  or  one  or  more  Btarts ;  Prima  Donna, 
2:09},  who  won  the  2:12  class  at  Buffalo  last  year,  taking  the 
last  three  of  a  five-heat  race  and  defeating  six  of  the  horses 
now  nominated  in  the  Sensation  Purse ;  Crawford,  2:09,  who 
met  defeat  but  once  in  1893,  when  he  was  second  to  the  pac- 
ing king  Mascot  at  Pittsburg  ;  Major  Wonder  and  Atlantic 
King,  both  with  records  of  2:09$,  and  both  campaigners  of  a 
high  order,  and  in  addition  to  these  there  are  eighteen  others 
with  records  better  than  2:15,  including  Monbars,  2:llf, 
whose  record  was  made  at  the  diagonal  gait,  hence  we  shall 
look  for  the  Sensation  $5,000  Purse,  for  2:09  pacers,  to  be  the 
great  drawing  card  and  the  battle  royal  of  the  Grand  Circuit.

Getting  Mares  in  Foal. 


Many  people  who  breed  and  raise  horses  seem  to  take  it 
for  granted  that  when  a  mare  is  once  bred  she  will  of  course 
prove  in  foal,  and  should  she  not  do  so  the  failure  is  at  once 
laid  to  the  horse.  Each  supposition  is  alike  erroneous. 
Fecundation  is  the  result  of  contact  between  the  ovum  of  the 
female  and  the  semen  of  the  male,  and  while  the  elements  of 
impregnation  are  multitudinous  in  the  male  secretion,  such 
is  not  the  case  with  that  of  the  female,  and  generally  during 
the  entire  heat  of  the  female  only  a  single  ovum  is  secreted, 
and  as  that  reaches  the  cavity  of  the  womb  independently  of 
the  sexual  organism  a  mare  is  frequently  fertile  on  a  certain 
day  during  heat,  but  would  not  be  on  a  preceding  or  succeed- 
ing days,  for  while  with  many  mares  the  secreted  ovum  may 
remain  in  the  womb  several  days,  with  others  it  passes  away 
almost  immediately,  it  is  largely  from  this  peculiarity  that 
some  mares  are  much  more  susceptible  to  impregnation  than 
others,  and  hence  it  is  that  a  mare  being  bred  every  day,  or 
every  other  day,  during  heat  seldom,  if  ever,  fails  to  get  in 
foal  unless  some  abnormal  condition  exists.  We  know  of  no 
way  in  detecting  the  peculiarity  referred  to,  only  by  observa- 
tion, and  where  it  is  observed  that  a  certain  mare  is  what  we 
frequently  call  *'  hard  to  get  in  foal,"  it  is  prudent,  if  the  sire 
be  not  crowded,  to  breed  her  every  day,or  at  least  every  other 
day  during  the  heat.  Where  a  sire  is  limited  to  but  few 
mares,  or  where  it  is  important  that  a  mare  should  conceive 
at  or  near  a  certain  time,  the  safest  plan  is  to  stint  for  several 
days  in  succession. — Western  Horseman.

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY     CLUB  RACKS. 

THIRTY-SEVENTH  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MAY  23. 

OOD  sport  was  had  this  day,  aDd 
it  was  a  fair  one  for  the  talent  be 
sides,  though  only  two  out-and  on 
favorites  managed  to  win,  The  re- 
maining races  were  taken  by  a  sec- 
ond, and  third  choice  and  a  long 
shot  that  should  not,  on  her  recent 
good  running,  have  beeu  at  any- 
thing like  the  odds  given.  Motto 
broke  the  California  record  at  the 
short  six  furlongs  this  afternoon, 
going  the  route  in  1:12  flat,  a  cut  of  half  a  second.  De  Bracey, 
age  and  weight  considered,  though  he  only  finished  in  the 
place,  ran  a  remarkable  race  for  a  three-year-old,  conceding 
Motto  no  less  than  twenty-one  pounds.  Midget  galloped  five 
furlongs  in  1:01  flat,  too,  so  that  the  track  could  be  considered 
well-nigh  perfect.  Coombs,  Burlingame,  Tuberville  and 
Chevalier  rode  the  winners,  the  litter  again  bringing  two  to 
the  front.     Verily  he  is  in  form. 

Boule  got  most  of  the  coin  in  the  first  race,  after  getting 
away  fourth  and  being  in  that  position  at  the  head  of  the 
homestretch.  Polaski,  the  favorite,  was  a  fair  second,  ffhile 
Morton  just  beat  Bronco  a  nose  for  the  show.  Tuberville  did 
the  look-around-and-see-me-grin-act  on  Bronco  near  the  fin- 
ish, or  he  would  have  been  third,  if  indeed  not  second. 

Mustesa,  a  12-to-l  shot,  won  the  second  race  rather  handily 
by  one  and  one-half  lengths  in  the  fair  time  of  1:02}.  Annie 
Moore  was  second,  a  length  in  front  of  Durango,  who  led  un- 
til well  in  the  homestretch.  Jennie  Deane,  the  even-money 
favorite,  finished  fifth. 

Remus,  favorite,  was  a  handy  winner  in  the  third  event, 
one  mile.  Old  Gladiator  led  until  less  than  three  furlongs 
from  home,  then  Eemus  assumed  a  command  he  did  not 
thereafter  relinquish.    Tigress  was  an  indifferent  third. 

Motto,  second  choice,  got  away  second,  went  to  the  front  in 
the  first  forty  vards,  and  did  not  quit  a  bit,  winning  off  by 
four  lengths  from  that  grand  colt,  De  Bracey,  in  record- 
smashing  time,  1:12.  One  and  a  half  lengths  behind  De 
Bracey,  who  was  favorite,  came  Royal  Flush. 

Midget,  favorite,  proved  an  easy  victress  in  the  1  st  event 
of  the  day,  though  Bill  Howard  would  have  given  her  a  hot 
argument  had  he  been  luckier  at  the  start.  Fred  Parker  led 
to  the  homestretch,  with  Border  Lassie  second.  It  was  an 
unusual  sight  to  see  Midget  anywhere  but  in  front,  hut  she 
was  content  with  third  place  around  to  the  homestretch.  Bos- 
ton Boy  pulled  up  very  lame.  Nick  Hall  ran  Midget  up  1750, 
and  secured  the  mare  at  $1,200.

a  3J  to  1  shot,  Royal  Flush  12,  the  others  15  to  1.  To  a  fine 
start  the  order  was  Da  Brace",  Motto.  Royal  Flash.  Motto 
went  away  from  her  field,  but  not  quite  as  quickly  as  usual. 
At  the  half  she  was  four  lengths  to  the  good,  De  Bracey  sec- 
ond, a  bead  from  Realization,  who  led  Royal  Flush  half  a 
length.  Motto  was  still  leading  four  lengths  when  the  home- 
stretch was  reached,  and  not  quitting  worth  a  cent,  won  off 
by  four  lengths  in  the  wonderful  time  of  1:12  (the  California 
record).  De  Bracey  was  second,  running  in  the  gamest 
fashion,  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  Royal  Flush,  who  was

Lassie  was  quoted  at  il,  Hal  Fisher  6,  Boston  Boy  15,  Kath- 
leen 20  and  Fred  Parker  80  to  1.  Border  Lassie,  Fred  Par-

at  once  went  to  the  fore,  and  led  passing  the  half  by  half  a 
length,  Border  Lassie  second,  three  lengths  from  Midget,  at 
whose  heels  came  Hal  Fisher.  Fred  Parker,  dyiDg  away  fast, 
was  a  short  head  only  in  front  of  Border  Lassie  as  they  swung 
around  into  the  homestretch,  Midget  third,  two  lengths 
away  and  gaining  fast.  The  latter  soon  disposed  of  the  pair 
in  front  of  her,  and  failing  to  quit,  won  quite  easily  by  one 
and  a  half  lengths,  Bill  Howard  (who  made  a  run  from  sixth 
place  down  the  straight)  second,  one  and  a  half  leDgths  from 
Border  Lassie,  who  beat  Hal  Fisher  as  much  for  the  place. 
Time,  1:01  flat.  Bill  Howard  might  have  won  had  he  got 
away  better.  Nick  Hall  bought  Midget  out  of  this  race  for 
$1,200,  an  increase  of  $750. 

THIRTY-EIGHTH   DAY — THURSDAY,  MAY   24. 

This  was  an  "off  day"  for  the  talent,  with  a  vengeance, 
and  a  red-letter  one  for  the  Spreckels  stable  and  the  book- 
makers. Four  favorites  were  beaten  in  rapid  succession,  the 
first  race  being  captured  by  a  20-to-l  shot,  the  second  by  a 
12  to  1,  third  by  a  6  to  1  chance  and  fourth  by  a  colt  that 
was  at  5  to  1  for  several  moments.  The  trackwas  extra- 
ordinarily fast,  and  in  three  of  the  five  races  the  finishes 
were  of  the  gum -swallowing  order.  The  features  of 
the  day's  sport  were  the  game  wins  of  White  Cloud, 
Straight  Tip  and  Eckert  and  the  easy  victories  of 
Blizzard  and  Gallant.  The  former  took  up  117  pounds 
and  romped  in  a  winner  at  a  mile  in  the  fast  time  of 
1:414..  Gallant,  a  two-year-old,  ran  the  full  six  furlongs  in 
1:13},  the  best  time  the  distance  was  ever  done  in  Califor- 
nia or  the  far  West  by  a  youngster. 

Russell,  Kinne,  E.  Jones  and  Sullivan  were  the  successful 
pilots,  the  latter  leading  the  lot  with  two  victories  to  his 
credit  during  the  afternoon. 

Tornado  led  in  the  first  race  up  to  the  last  seventy  yards 
by  several  lengths,  but  quit  to  almost  nothing,  and  White 
Cloud  came  on  and  won  cleverly  by  a  length,  with  the  odds- 
on  favorite,  King  Sam,  in  the  place. 

Miss  Ruth  and  Straight  Tip  ran  heads  apart  several 
lengths  in  front  of  the  bunch  up  to  the  last  sixteenth,  then 
Silver  moved  up  close  and  he,  Straight  Tip  and  Miss  Ruth 
drove  it  out,  Straight  Tip  scoring  win  No.  1  for  the  Spreck- 
els stable  by  a  neck,  Miss  Ruth  second,  half  a  length  from 
Silver,  on  whom  El  Tirano  was  lapped. 

Ida  Glenn  got  off  in  the  lead  in  the  third  race,  and  held  it 
up  to  the  last  stride,  where  Eckert,  who  had  come  from  the 
rear  at  a  great  pace,  caught  her  and  won  by  a  nose.  A  length 
behind  little  Ida  came  Green  Hock,  a  nose  from  Cocheco. 

Blizzard,  played  down  from  5  to  3i  in  the  mile,  ran  sec- 
ond, several  lengths  behind  Royal  Flush  until  well  in  the 
homestretch,  where  Flush  tired,  and  Blizzard  came  on  and 
won  easily  by  a  trifle  over  a  length,  Sir  Reel  (who  got  away 
last)  in  the  place. 

Gallant,  the  favorite,  made  a  runaway  of  the  last  event  on 
the  card,  a  six-furlong  dash,  beating  the  second  horse,  Sea 
Spray,  six  lengths.     The  time  made  (1:13:})  was  phenomenal.

20  each,  Monroe  30  to  1.  True  Briton,  May  Pritchard,  Mon- 
roe was  the  order  to  a  good  start.  Tornado  went  away  with 
his  usual  burst  of  speed,  and  led  passing  the  half-pole  by  four 
lengths,  White  Cloud  second,  half  a  leogth  from  Monroe.  At 
the  three-quarter  pole  Tornado  had  uot  quit,  and  was  five 
lengths  to  the  good,  White  Cloud  two  from  King  Sam,  on 
whom  Monroe  was  lapped.  Tornado  led  up  to  the  last  seventy 
yards  by  three  or  four  lengths,  but  here  began  to  quit  badly, 
and  White  Cloud  came  on  and  won  easily  by  a  length,  King 
Sam  second,  a  length  from  Tornado,  who  beat  May  Pritch- 
ard five  lengths  for  the  show.     Time,  1:09.

Royal  Flush  was  at  2£  to  1,  Blilzard  Zl  (opened  at  5),  Zobair

out  like  a  quarter  horse,  and  led  passing  the  quarter  by  six 
lengths,  Blizzard  second,  one  and  a  half  leugths  from  Zobair. 
Then  came  De  Baacey  and  Sir  Reel.  The  latter  sulked  some 
in  the  next  furlong.  Royal  Flush  was  still  six  lengths  to  the 
good  at  the  half,  and  Blizzard  was  second,  three  lengths  from 
De  Bracey,  who  was  a  head  from  Zobair.  Royal  Flush  came 
back  to  his  field  somewhat  in  the  run  to  ihe  homestretch, 
and  Sir  Reel  ran  up  third.  Flush  led  up  to  the  last  eighth, 
then  Blizzard  came  on  and  won  easily  by  a  length,  Sir  Reel 
second,  four  lengths  from  Royal  Flush,  who  beat  De  Bracey

Sea  Spray,  Rear  Guard,  Gallant,  Ravine  was  the  way  they

100  yards,  at  the  half-pole  leading  Sea  Spray  a  length  easily, 
the  latter  three  lengths  from  Rear  Guard.  Gallant  com- 
menced going  away  from  Sea  Spray  soon  after  rounding  the 
far  turn,  and  into  the  homestretch  was  first  by  three.  Half 
way  down  the  straight  he  was  four  lengths  to  the  good,  and 
he]eventually  won,  running  like  a  steam  engine,  by  six  good

Lena  Holly,  by  Director,  is  now  picked  as  the  flower  of 
the  Splan  stable. 

The  great  sale  of  trotters  take  place   next  Tuesday  ;  see 
the  advertisement. 

Hat  will  be  plenty,  choice  in  quality,  and  low  in  price  in 
this  State  this  fall. 


Remember  entries  close  next  Friday  for  a  number  of  the 
leading  meetings  on  the  Pacific  Coast. 

Ed.  Lapferty  will  have  Mr.  MacMahan's  fast  pacer 
Mabry  in  his  string  at  Oakland  next  month. 

The  running  horse  meetings  will  soon  end  and  the  trotting 
horse  meetings  will  then  have  "their  little  time  to  boom." 

The  bay  pacing  mare  Syrena,  2:25,  by  Sphinx,  dam  Maud 
T.,  by  Jefferson  Prince,  joined  the  Starr  stable  last  week.

City  Farm  last  week,  also  a  brother  to  Molock,  2:17,  and  a 
611y  by  Hummer,  out  of  Noontide,  2:20}. 

Henry  Sanders  says  that  he  will  drive  Sidmont  in  2:10 
this  year.  He  stepped  a  quarter  in  35  seconds  the  other  day 
on  the  Cleveland  track,  and  did  not  half  try. 

Geo.  H.  Fox,  of  Angels  Camp,  Calaveras  Couuty,  has  had 
the  two-year-old  colt  Calaveras,  by  Eclectic,  sent  home.  He 
will  have  him  ready  for  the  races  late  this  fall.

column.  The  small  breeders  on  this  coast  will  reap  a  rich 
harvest  this  fall  with  such  an  association  to  show  them  how 
it  can  be  done. 


The  running  horse  meetings  are  not  nearly  as  well  at- 
tended in  the  East  this  year  as  they  were  formerly,  but 
the  crowds  at  the  trotting  horse  meetings  are  much  larger  and 
more  enthusiastic. 

The  Eastern  papers  all  claim  the  honor  of  having  the  first 
2:30  performer  in  the  list,  but  Index,  2:27  A,  by  Dexter  Prince

after  roadsters,  gentle  driving  horses,  fine  broodmares  and 
choicely-bred  colts  and  fillies  will  see  something  at  this  sale 
which  will  suit  them.

The  progeny  of  Eclectic  (brother  to  Arion,  2:07£)  cannot

Camp  McKay  says  he  never  knew  how  Mattie  Hunter, 
2:12J,  was  bred,  and  her  breeder,  Mr.  Milner,  of  Florence, 
Ala.,  knew  no  more.  The  Year  Book  tells  us  that  she  is  by 
Prince  Pulaski.  The  information  probably  appeared  to  Mr. 
Wallace  in  a  dream. 

Nelson,  2:09,  while  a  great  and  beautifully-gaited  trotter,

Smith  envied  by  all  his  neighbors. 

The  career  of  Robert  McGregor,  2:17A,  has  been  a  chequer- 
ed one  on  the  whole.  It  is  related  that  at  one  time  he  was 
in  the  handH  of  a  Kansas  sheriff  during  the  progress  of  a 
legal  complication  and  that  that  officer  of  the  law  served  him 
to  all  sorts  of  mongrel  mares  at  a  fee  of  $5. 

The  great  Diablo,  2:091,  will  not  appear  on  the  California 
Circuit  this  year.  His  book  of  fifty  mares  was  filled  long  ago 
and  Mr.  Murray  says  he  does  not  believe  it  will  pay  him  to 
give  the  great  horse  a  hard  campaigning,  besides,  thestallion 
has  already  earned  a  nice  sum  of  money  for  him. 

Kacino  matters  are  reviving  at  Springfield,  Mo.  Our 
latest  reports  state  that  upwards  of  fifty  horses  are  in  training 
on  the  Queen  City  track.  Among  the  fast  ones  are  Black 
Dick,  pacer,  2:14 j;  Dollv  D.,  pacer,  2:15 ];  Gold  Medal, pacer, 
2:14*  ;  Trumpeter,  2:201  j  Lizzie  H-,  pacer,  2:23J  ;  Prince, 
pacer,  2:23^,  and  Robert  Elsmere,  pacer,  2:25.  Many  green 
ones  are  stepping  quarters  in  from  35  to  40  seconds. 

Abthi'rtox  is  the  first  prominent  sire  to  secure  anew 
performer  in  the  But  this  year.  His  four-year-old  daughter, 
Pantomime,  defeated  afield  of  fifteen  trotters  at  Baltimore 
May  10  ami  •  -ok  a  third  heat  record  of  2:261.  She  is  a 
bay  mare,  brr-l  by  R.  S.  Veech,  Si.  Mathews,  Ky.,  and  is  out 
of  the  Princep  mare  Iota,  grand  dam  Nelly  Walton,  2:20, 
the  old-time  Maine  campaigner,  sired  by  a  son  of  General 
Knoi. 


Jim  C-,  who  ran  away  with  Luke  Crowe,  in  Hartford  last 
week,  causing  that  gentleman's  death,  was  entered  in  the 
2:30  stallion  class  at  Charter  Oak.  Mr.  Crow  entered  him 
the  day  before  he  died.  Jim  C.  is  also  entered  in  2:32  and 
2:28  classes  at  Waterbury.  Luke  Crowe  drove  quite  a  good 
many  races  in  California  last  year.  He  won  a  good  one  in 
June  with  Electrina,  half  sister  to  Directum,  2:05},  owned 
by  John  Green,  of  Dublin,  Cal. — Horseman. 

Four  head  of  Highland  Farm  horses  have  been  sent  to 
Austin  Brothers,  Bridgewater,  to  be  handled  for  6peed  and 
conditioned  for  races.  Among  the  lot  is  the  handsome  trot- 
ting mare  Dora  Thorne  (2:23),  the  powerful  bay  Sidney 
stallion  George  V.,full  brother  to  Frou  Frou  (yearling  rec- 
ord, 2:25}),  and  a  very  handsome  mare  by  Sidney  (2:19f), 
dam  by  A.  W.  Richmond.  They  are  the  property  of  J.  J.  and 
E.  J.  Crawford,  Belmont. 

Budd  Doble's  string  consists  of  the  following:  The  circuit 
through  which  he  will  go  this  year  has  not  yet  been  fully  de- 
termined. The  following  horses  are  now  in  his  stable  :  Pix- 
ley,  2:0S*;  Ellard,  2:12^;  Prince  Hershel,  2:153;'  Lee  Russell, 
2:16};  Ballona,  2:19}  ;  Break-o'-Day,  2:19} ;  Judge  Fisher, 
2:21};  Nut  Pan,  pacer,  2:24A.  Native  State,  2:33} ;  Tacoma, 
pacer,  2A0h  ;  Queen  Regent,  Direction,  Lee  Patchen,  Axall, 
Timberlake  and  Miss  Guy.  Arion,  2:07i,  and  Manager, 
pacer,  2:06|.  and  a  number  of  others  are  yet  to  come. 

The  Ketcham  Farm  last  week  sold  the  horse  Baronstein, 
by  Baron  Wilkes,  dam  Steioette,  by  Stein  way,  to  John  E. 
Madden,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  taking  in  part  payment,  says  the 
Courier,  the  three-year-old  brown  mare  Chispa,  by  Clay,  a  son 
of  Electioneer.  This  mare  promises  to  develop  considerable 
speed,  and  as  soon  as  she  arrives  from  the  south  will  be  sent 
to  Tiffin  as  a  member  of  the  farm's  race  stables  located  there. 
She  has  no  record,  but  was  second  to  Nellie  A.  in  2:28  as  a 
two-year-old  in  her  first  and  only  race. 

Monroe  Salisbury  will  reserve  the  track  at  Pleasanton 
as  a  private  course  next  year,  consequently  the  horse-lovers 
of  Pleasanton  are  making  arrangements  to  purcaase  some 
sixty  acres  of  land  on  the  Augustine  place  adjacent  to  Mr. 
Salisbury's,  on  whicn  they  will  build  stalls,  sheds,  grand- 
stand and  a  first-class  track,  and  perhaps  two  tracks,  one  for 
thoroughbreds  the  other  for  the  light  harness  horses.  A 
stock  company  for  the  purchase  of  this  piece  of  land  and 
making  improvements  thereon  is  about  to  be  formed. 

A  prominent  driver  and  trainer  visited  Rancho  Cotati 
last  week  and  pronounces  the  three-quarter  mile  race  track 
there  the  best  winter  course  in  California,  not  excepting  the 
Pleasanton,  Sacramento  or  Lodi  tracks.  The  soil  is  kind  of 
a  clayey  silt,  springy,  free  from  pebbles  or  stones,  and  the 
surface  never  cups  nor  breaks  away.  If  this  course  was 
known  to  the  horsemen  a  large  number  would  make  arrange- 
ments to  train  there  every  winter.  The  climate  is  unsurpassed 
and  the  excellence  of  the  natural  feed  on  this  farm  is  ac- 
knowledged by  all  stockmen. 

Thos.  Keating  starts  East  with  his  string  of  horses  on 
the  same  train  which  will  convey  Lee  ShanePs  horses  East 
Monday.  Mr.  Keating  has  the  following  in  the  car:  Our 
Dick  (pacer),  2:10},  by  Gibraltar;  Edith  (pacer),  2:14},  by 
Dexter  Prince,  dam  by  Hamilton  Chief  (sire  of  dam  of  Maud, 
2:20);  Aster,  2:16,  by  Dexter  Prince;  Ottinger,  2:1H,  by 
Dorsey's  Nephew ;  Steve,  by  Steve  Whipple,  2:12,  and  a 
pacer  by  Dexter  Prince.  Mr.  Keating  will  be  on  the  same 
circuit  with  Mr.  Shaner,  and  both  these  drivers  will  add 
fame  to  California- bred  horses  this  year. 

Forty-three  four-year-olks  are  paid  up  and  eligible  tc 
start  in  the  Terre  Haute  fair's  $11,000  purse.  Among  them 
are  such  crackerjacks  as  Jay  Hawker,  2:14^;  Margrave,  2:15A; 
Silicon,  2:15£  ;  Axle,  2:15!  ;  Wilmarch,  2:17}  ;  Sabledale, 
2:181;  Wistful,  2:19| ;  Cythera,  2:30£  ;  Mary  Best,  2:21}  ; 
Greenlander  Girl,  2:21;  Avena,  2:22i,  etc. — race  horses  every 
one  of  them.  It  will  be  the  greatest  field  of  four-year-olda 
that  ever  scored  up  for  the  starter's  word,  and  will  be  the 
race  of  the  year.  The  railbirds  are  already  twittering  about 
three  heats  in  2:12  being  necessary  to  crop  the  money  off. 

L.  C  Ruble,  of  Rio  Vista,  purchased  the  Palo  Alto  bred 
stallion  Alfred,  2:25,  from  Mr.  Rose  and  has  bred  him  to 
thirty  very  choice  mares.  Mr.  Ruble  is  one  of  the  most  pro- 
gressive breeders  in  and  around  Rio  Vista  and  has  used  good 
judgment  in  his  selection  of  mares  and  the  sires  to  breed 
them  to.  He  has  a  splendid  place  for  stock  and  all  of  the 
broodmares,  colts  and  fillies  are  as  well  cared  for  as  they  are 
at  Palo  Alto  or  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm.  Success  will 
crown  his  efforts  in  his  search  after  fast  performers  that  have 
not  only  speed  but  size,  conformation  and  good  dispositions. 

"  Thk  External  Conformation  of  the  Horse  "  is  the  title  of 
a  bulletin  issued  by  the  Michigan  State  Agricultural  College. 
The  subject  matter  is  from  the  pen  of  Dr.  E.  A.  Graves,  who 
has  apparently  devoted  much  time  and  trouble  to  collecting 
data.  Various  parts  of  the  horse's  body  are  exhaustively  de- 
scribed and  discussed,  and  special  references  made  to  them  as 
points  of  excellence  in  the  various  breeds.  The  illustrations, 
in  the  main,  are  faulty,  though  interesting.  Two  productions 
of  instantaneous  photographs  protray  a  running  horse  in  one 
insiance  with  his  whole  weight  borne  on  the  off  hind  fool, 
and  with  the  other  on  the  near  fore  foot. 


Chas.  Hughes,  of  Mayfield,  shipped  to  Paris  via  New  York 
last  Tuesday  the  trotting  mares  Mabel  H.,  2:17},  and  Semi- 
nary Girl  (the  latter  in  foal  to  Richards'  Elector).  Besides 
these  he  also  sends  a  splendid  trotting  gelding  by  Alcona. 
Mr.  Hugue  has  promised  us  a  series  of  letters  about  the  trot- 
ters and  trotting  races  in  France. 


Arrangements  have  been  made  between  the  Palo  Alto 
management  and  Walter  Maben  by  which  the  latter  will 
drive  in  all  races  in  which  he  has  none  of  his  own  horses  en- 
tered. He  has  a  splendid  string  belonging  to  A.  H.  Severance, 
of  Los  Angeles,  and  is  quite  sanguine  that  he  will  astonish 
the  boys  this  fall  with  some  of  them. 

Some  scribe  in  the  daily  papers  delights  in  publishing  ficti- 
tious items  every  Saturday  and  then  denying  them  the  follow- 
ing day.  There  is  one  he  overlooked,  and  as  all  the  reliable 
items  he  steals  are  taken  from  these  columns,  we  wish  to  call 
his  attention  to  the  following  little  one  :  "  Wm.  Corbitt,  of 
the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm,  will  have  a  string  or  fast  trotters 
and  pacers  on  the  California  circuit,  and  has  never  thought 
of  not  making  entries  in  every  race  in  which  horses  are 
eligible,"     We  hope  our  friend  will  make  a  note  of  this. 

Lee  Shaner  starts  to  Iowa,  Monday,  taking  with  him  the 
following  string  of  good  horses  :  Lady  H.  (pacer),  2:16},  by 
Sidney,  dam  Sultana,  by  Del  Sur,  2:24  ;  Sidmore,  by  Sidney, 
dam  by  Grand  Moor  ;  Challenger  Chief,  2:1G,  by  Challenger, 
dam  Rosa  Chief,  by  D.  Monroe  ;  Nile?  Beauty,  2:19,  by  Ul- 
ster Chief,  dam  Puss,  by  Skenandoah;  a  green  trotter  by  Sid- 
ney, out  of  a  mare  by  A.  W.  Richmond,  and  a  large  bay  geld- 
ing by  Dexter  Prince  called  Dexter  Chief,  which  has  no  rec- 
ord. From  Iowa,  Mr.  Shaner  will  ^o  through  Ohio  and  then 
to  Terre  Haute.  If  he  meets  with  any  success  he  will  not  re- 
turn to  California  until  late  in  the  fall. 


The  old-time  Orange  county  horseman  John  Minchin,  V. 
S.,  died  at  his  home  in  Goshen,  N.  Y.,  last  week.  He  was 
closely  identified  with  horse-breeding,  racing  and  selling  in 
that  county  for  the  past  fifty  years.  He  sold  Small  Hopes  to 
Mr.  Deyo,  and  had  the  Hambletoniao  stallion  Lumberman, 
the  long-distance  trotter  Tom  Moore,  and  made  the  first 
match  thatSeely's  American  Star  ever  trotted.  ,lDoc"  Min- 
chin was  a  native  of  Ireland,  and  in  his  bluff,  cheery,  enter- 
taining and  hospitable  nature  was  a  true  son  of  Erin.  His 
son,  John  Minchin  .Jr.,  is  handling  trotters  at  Goshen.  He 
is  a  worthy,  painstaking  trainer  and  driver. 

The  cross  which  gave  to  the  world  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04, has 
never  been  repeated,  so  far  as  the  records  in  the  Year  Book 
indicate.  Of  the  H>7  that  Happy  Medium  has  in  his  list 
Nancy  is  the  only  one  that  is  out  of  a  mare  by  Dictator. 
Happy  Medium's  sons  have  108  trotters  and  pacers  in  the 
list,  but  not  one  of  the  number  is  out  of  a  Dictator  mare. 
This  does  not  imply  that  Dictator  mares  are  not  valuable,  for 
they  are  quite  the  contrary  of  that.  It  is  more  reasonable  to 
believe  that  the  prejudice  against  inbreeding  has  caused  breed- 
ers to  abandon  the  cross  which  produced  the  champion  trot* 
ter  of  the  world.  As  is  pretty  well  known  Happy  Medium 
and  Dictator  are  by  Hambletoniao. 


"The story  going  the  rounds  of  the  Eastern  turf  journals 
that  Guy  Wilkes  is  getting  old  looking  and  sway-backed,  is  a 
downright  lie,"  was  the  plain  but  forcible  truth  expressed 
by  a  prominent  horseman  at  the  sale  last  Tuesday,  as  the 
handsome  horse  was  exhibited  before  the  delighted  assem- 
blage. Guy  looks  better  and  is  getting  a  greater  percentage 
of  his  mares  in  foal  th«s  year  and  last  than  ever;  we  wish  to 
state  that  Guy  Wilkes  is  no  more  sway  backed  than  he  was 
the  day  he  arrived  in  California.  He  has  grown  heavier  and 
more  rotund  in  appearance,  but  he  is  far  from  being  sway 
backed  and  old  looking. 

The  wonderful  automatic  brake  invented  by  Messrs,  Mc- 
Kerron  and  Clawson  of  this  city  meets  with  the  approval  of 
everyone  who  has  seen  it.  Orrin  A.  Hickok  at  the  first 
glance  said  :  "  That's  the  simplest,  safest  and  best  invention 
I  ever  saw,  and  every  driver  in  the  United  States  will  want 
one  of  them  on  their  sulkies  when  they  see  it.  I  want  two, 
one  for  each  of  my  sulkies,  at  once."  Monroe  Salisbury 
ordered  three  for  his  sulkies,  and  will  not  start  one  of  his 
horses  in  a  race  unless  this  brake  is  on  the  sulky.  He  said : 
"  Mr.  McKerron,  that  is  the  thing  all  the  drivers  will  want 
as  soon  as  they  see  it  work.  It  will  save  their  lives  as  well 
as  the  colts  they  are  driving.     Everybody  will  want  one." 

George  Starr,  while  talking  of  the  accident  which 
happened  to  Directum,  said  that  several  Directors  showed  a 
facility  for  stubbing  their  toes  and  tripping.  Once  he  was 
jogging  Direct  out  at  Pleasanton  and  while  the  little  black 
pacer  was  in  a  walk  he  stubbed  a  toe,  pitched  over  and  landed 
on  his  head  and  George  also  pitched  over  and  landed  on  top 
of  Direct.  The  harness,  an  old  six  to  eight  pound  racing  set, 
was  broken  as  the  horse  struggled  to  get  loose  and  he  arose 
without  a  bridle,  and  one  trace  loose.  One  trace  was  fast  to 
the  sulky  aad  Starr  grabbed  his  trail  and  held  on.  With  the 
trace  and  the  tail  hold  Direct  was  held  in  and  driven  in  a 
circle  till  he  came  to  a  stand  still  and  that  is  how  Starr  drove 
Direct  by  his  tail. — Terre  Haute  Gazette, 

The  big  breeding  establishments  are  having  numerous 
additions  this  month,  and  at  Parkville  Farm  two  famous  pro- 
ducers have  foaled  this  week.  Beatrice,  noted  as  the  dam  of 
Patron,  2:14£ ;  Prodigal,  2:16,  and  Patronage,  sire  of  Alix, 
has  a  bay  filly  by  Misfortune.  Rose  Leaf,  one  of  the  great 
Fern  Leaf  family,  who  has  already  produced  two  fast  pacers 
in  Falrose,  2:19,  and  Rosedale,  2:22,  as  ayearling,  was  in  foal 
to  Director  Sid  when  Mr.  Shults  bought  her  last  December, 
and  the  result  is  a  bay  filly.  A.  H.  Moore  says  that  the  1894 
crop  of  Directors  at  Cloverdale  Farm  now  numbers  seventeen, 
including  one  out  of  that  good  race  mare  Mambrino  Maid, 
2:151-.  Nancy  Lee,  dam  of  Nancy  Hanks,  is  due  to  foal 
next  week,  and  Mr.  Moore  hopes  for  a  colt  from  a  union  of 
the  queen's  dam  with  Director. 

Stemwinder,  2:30},  dam  of  the  great  king  of  trotting 
stallions,  Directum,  2:05},  was  in  distress  on  Saturday  night 
as  her  famous  son  was  disappearing  from  the  view  of  the 
crowd  assembled  at  the  Pleasanton  depot.  It  was  not  on  ac- 
count of  her  loss  however,  for  she  had  no  time  to  think  of 
him,  and  early  Sunday  morning  she  presented  Mr.  Green, 
her  owner,  with  a  coal  black  filly  whose  sire  is  the  great  pac- 
ing king,  Direct,  2:05}.  Great  was  the  joy  in  the  household, 
and  after  awhile  when  the  little  lassie  began  to  realize  she 
was  in  the  world  of  speed,  she  started  around  her  proud  moth- 
er, and  the  first  exclamation  that  astonished  her  was  "She's  a 
pacer !  "  Yes,  and  now  that  she  is  six  days  old  she  is  looking 
around  for  a  trainer,  for  she  has  shown  more  speed  at  the  side 
wheel  gait  than  anything  of  her  age  ever  seen  in  that  horse 
paradise,  called  Pleasanton.  Mr.  Green  will  breed  theold  ma- 
tron to  Diablo,  2:09J  and  also  her  daughter  Electrina,  2:20. 


The  pacing  match  for  $5,000  a  side  between  Cebron  and 
Uncle  Jack  at  Overland  last  Tuesday  developed  into  a  fluke 
and  the  race  was  eiven  to  Uncle" Jack  on  a  walk-over.  The 
conditions  were  for  the  best  three  heats  in  five,  but  one  walk- 
over seems  to  have  been  sufficient  for  Uncle  Jack  to  take  the 
money,  which  of  course  is  protested  by  J.  E.  Hundley,  the 
Colorado  Springs  man  who  was  backing  Judge  Colburn's  Ce- 
bron. From  all  that  can  be  learned  the  Cebron  crowd  antici- 
pated chicanery  and  wanted  a  new  stakeholder  appointed  to 
take  the  money  out  of  the  hands  of  J.  B.  Cassady,  who  was 
strangely  enough,  the  presiding  judge  in  the  race,  and  so,  it 
is  claimed,  a  part  owner  of  Uncle  Jack.  When  Cassady  re- 
fused to  give  over  the  stakes  the  Cebron  fellows  refused  to 
play  and  Uncle  Jack  took  the  walk-over.  The  Cassady  crowd 
say  that  Hundley  discovered  on  the  day  before  the  race  that 
Cebron  was  out  of  whack  and  in  no  condition  to  race  with 
such  a  staid  old  side-wheeler  as  Uncle  Jack,  so  they  concluded 
to  keep  out  of  the  game.  In  any  event  the  great  crowd  at 
the  Overland  was  disappointed  and  the  matter  will  finally  be 
settled  in  the  courts. — Field  and  Gun.

In  the  second  race  Tuesday  there  were  eight  starters,  and 
without  exception  every  horse  was  in  color  a  chestnut.  This 
has  never  occurred  before  in  a  race  with  as  many  entries  that 
we  ever  heard  of. 

The  stewards  very  correctly  reinstated  Johnny  Appleby 
last  Saturday.  Nothing  in  any  way  dishonest  could  be 
proved  against  him.  Clacqner  never  runs  two  races  alike. 
That  is  about  settled.       

Richard  S.  Fallon,  of  Hollister,  came  up  onlMonday. 
He  reports  the  foal  by  imp.  Cyrus  from  Moselle  a  fine  one. 
The  mare  has  been  bred  to  Rayo  del  Sol,  a  colt  by  Judge  Mc- 
Kinstry,  dam  Talluda,  by  Enquirer. 

The  field  book  at  Brooklyn  backed  by  Harry  Corbett  and 
Riley  Grannan,  lost  $1,200  on  the  opening  day  of  the  Brook- 
lyn meeting.  The  book  is  still  $18,000  strong,  which  amount 
was  all  won  in  two  weeks  in  San  Francisco. 

Cblables  V.  Tupper  has  taken  charge  of  Ashcraft  & 
Dickey's  horses,  including  Pescador,  Mustesa  and  a  two-year- 
old  by  Gano.  Mustesa  has  been  in  Tupper's  hands  a  couple 
of  weeks,  and  has  shown  marked  improvement. 

Lottie  Eastin,  who  ran  a  dead  heat  with  the  famous 
Handspun  and  afterwards  (though  she  fell  down  in  the  home- 
stretch) won  the  rich  Melbourne  Stakes  at  Lexington,  is  by 
Bishop  (sire  of  our  Racine),  dam  imp.  Dublin  Belle,  by 
Knight  of  St.  Patrick. 

Francis  Trevelyan,  racing  editor  of  Daily  America 
and  Mercury,  called  the  three  placed  horses  in  the  Brooklyn 
Handicap  on  Monday,  the  day  before  the  race  came  off.  He 
thought  Sir  Walter  would  win,  Henry  of  Navarre  get  the 
place  and  Dr.  Rice  (the  winner)  the  show. 

Lonnie  B.  is  a  wonderful  mare.  After  having  a  hard  race 
on  Friday  she  comes  out  on  Saturday  with  150J  pounds  up 
and  simply  gallops  a  mile  in  1:44*  in  a  light  welter  weight 
race.  Forsland,  her  rider  on  Saturday,  swears  she  could 
have  gone  over  a  second  faster  had  it  been  necessary 

John  Walsh  sold  in  front  of  the  grand  stand  at  Lexing- 
ton, May  12,  the  black  colt  Charlie  McDevitt,  by  Vocalic, 
dam  Norma,  to  James  Murphy  for  $650,  and  the  bay  filly 
Miss  Young,  by  Hanover,  out  of  May  Lady,  to  John  E.  Mad- 
den for$800.    They  were  the  property  of  A.  D.  Stofel. 

Major  B.  C.  Thomas  has  declined  J.  R.  <fc  F.  P.  Keene's 
offer  to  buy  of  him  privately  the  yearling  brother  to  the  un- 
beaten Domino  and  the  youngster  will  pass  under  the  ham- 
mer with  the  other  yearlings  from  Hiraville  in  New  York 
City  shortly.  The  price  the  Keenes  tendered  was  $8,500. 

A  dead  heat  was  run  for  the  Manchester  Cup  of  2,000  sov- 
ereigns May  18th  by  Sir  R.  Jardine's  Red  Eosign  and  Mr. 
Buchanan's  Schanarotha  ;  G.  Progression  third.  The  stakes 
were  divided,  Mr.  Buchanan,  the  owner  of  Schanarotha,  tak- 
ing the  cup,  and  conceding  to  Sir  R.  Jardine,  the  owner  of 
Red  Ensign,  the  sum  of  £200. 

Many  comparisons  were  made  last  Saturday  between  the 
respective  merits  of  Bellicoso  and  Rey  Alfonso.  Opinion 
was  about  equally  divided  as  to  which  is  the  best  colt.  Bel- 
licoso beat  Rey  Alfonso  about  two  and  a  half  lengths  in  a 
Btake  race,  it  is  true,  but  the  Prince  of  Norfolk  colt  has  im- 
proved wonderfully  since  that. 


Belle  Meade,  as  might  have  been  expected,  starts  the 
Eastern  racing  season  in  a  most  brilliant  manner,  the  first 
two-year-old  event  of  the  Brooklyn  meeting,  the  Expectation 
Stakes,  falling  to  Utica.  son  of  the  mighty  Iroquois  and  the 
famous  Docbess,  dam  of  Clifford. 

Number  2  of  Vol.  1  of  Goodwin's  Official  Turf  Guide  is 
out  containing  all  the  racing  of  the  season  up  to  Saturday, 
May  12,  and  including  the  first  day  at  Gravesend.  The  work 
has  all  its  usual  excellent  features  and  is  indispensable  to 
any  one  who  wishes  to  keep  up  with  the  times  in  racing 
matters.  

W.  O'  &.  Macdonotjgh's  stable,  comprising  the  four  horses 
Stromboli,  Yo  El  Rey,  the  Bersan-Fair  Lady  colt  and  Lux, 
by  Flambeau — imp.  Cornelia,  is  at  Sheepshead  Bay.  Their 
owner  is  en  route  for  the  East,  but  will  stay  only  a  few  days 
before  going  to  England  to  see  the  Derby. — Daily  America 
and  Mercury,  May  16. 

In  the  latest  programme  of  the  Portland  Speed  Associa- 
tion, received  here  late  last  week,  a  typographical  error  ap- 
pears in  Race  No.  23.  Instead  of  being  for  trotters  of  the 
2:16  class,  it  is  for  the  2:26  class.  Trotting  horse  men  will 
please  notice  this.  The  Portland  track  is  in  fine  shape,  and 
a  splendid  meeting  is  looked  forward  to. 

Applause,  the  filly  that  won  a  fine  race  at  Brooklyn  May 
22d,  was  raised  by  Starter  J.  B.  Ferguson.  She  is  by  imp. 
The  Ill-Used,  dam  imp.  Encore,  by  Cymbal,  therefore  half- 
sister  to  Helter  Skelter,  Mary  McGowan,  Phil  Dwyer  and 
Enchantress.  Mr.  Ferguson  refused  $5,000  for  this  filly  as  a 
yearling,  but  finally  sold  her  to  J.  E.  Madden. 

The  race  for  the  Newmarket  Stakes,  4,500  sovereigns,  fo 
three  year-old  colts,  carrying  nine  stone,  and  fillies  carrying 
eight  stone  eleven  pounds,  was  won  by  Lord  Rosebery's  colt 
Ladas,  the  winner  of  the  2,000  guineas,  and  the  favorite  for 
the  Derby,  Douglas  Baird's  St.  Florian  second,  and  Daniel 
Cooper's  Glares  third.  Distance,  one  mile  and  a  quarter 
straight.  

Himyab,  the  premier  sire  of  1893,  is  apt  to  make  a  bold 
bid  for  the  leading  position  again  this  season,  judging  from 
the  performances  of  his  sons  and  daughters  at  Brooklyn  on 
the  opening  day,  when  two  of  his  get  won,  one  finished  second 
in  the  Expectation  Stakes,  and' Correction,  notwithstanding 
her  broken  ribs,  captured  third  place  in  the  initial  sprint  at 
five  furlongs.  *  „    

Col.  R.  G.  Pate,  the  Penon  concessionaire,  whose  con- 
cession for  horse-breeding  purposes  expires  next  month,  has 
asked  for  an  extension  o£ time  to  fulfill  his  obligations  with 
the  Government.  The  matter  has  been  referred  to  Congress, 
and  that  body  will  act  on  it  during  its  present  meeting.  Col. 
Pate  confidently  asserts  that  another  meeting  will  be  held  at 
Penon  course  in  the  Fall. 


Paul  Ridley,  a  well-known  bookmaker  at  the  local 
track,  formerly  of  Chicago,  is  angry.  A  lot  of  thieves  stole 
his  slate  at  Hawthorne,  took  it  to  Nashville,  and 
there  did  business  under  his  name.  Getting  in  a  goodly  sum, 
they  "  welshed,"  and  Ridley's  name  was  mentioned  in  a  way 
that  he  naturally  did  not  like  but  which  he  was  powerless  to 
help. 

H.  ("Moose")  Taylor,  the  clever  lightweight  jockey,  had 
his  leg  broken  in  two  places  a*  Gravesend  (Brooklyn)  one  day 
last  week.  He  was  riding  one  of  M.  J.  Dwyer's  two-year-olds 
in  a  race,  and  the  colt  bolted,  wenL  through  the  fence  into  a 
ditch,  breaking  his  own  leg  and  having  to  be  destroyed.  For 
a  time  it  was  thought  Taylor  would  be  picked  up  dead,  but 
he  wasn't. 


Starter  James  B.  Ferguson  leaves  for  his  home  near 
Lexington,  Ky.,next  Sunday,  and  several  other  of  his  inti- 
mate friends  go  at  the  same  time.  Mr.  Ferguson  does  the 
starting  at  St.  Paul's  meeting,  which  begins  June  24th,  and 
lasts  thirty  to  forty  days,  and  willawield  the  flag  at  the  meet- 
ing here,  which  begins  October  27,  1894,  and  runs  until  June 
15, 1895,  six  days  per  week. 

In  the  second  race  at  Louisville,  Ky.,  May  18th,  Judge 
Payne  fell  just  beyond  the  half-mile  pole,  throwing  Goodale, 
and,  stepping  on  his  forehead,  crushed  it  in,  causing  con- 
cussion of  the  brain,  from  which  he  died  about  twenty  min- 
utes afterward.  He  was  badly  bruised  about  the  body.  Goodale 
was  one  of  the  very  best  riders  in  the  West,  and  had  been  re- 
garded as  such  for  the  past  four  or  five  years. 

T.  Lundy  last  Saturday  purchased  Billy  Murry's  interest 
in  all  the  Lone  Stable  horses,  including  Thornhill,  Pricelle, 
Terra  Nova,  Geoffrey  and  others  of  note.  Besides  Mr.  Lundy 
owns  a  two-year-old  colt  by  imp.  Brutus,  dam  Marin,  by  imp. 
KyrleDaly.  The  entire  lot  were  turned  over  to  that  clever 
trainer,  Orville  Appleby,  .who  will  train  them  hereafter.  All 
the  horses  were  reinstated*  by  the  Board  of  Stewards. 


No  less  than  $1,000  will  be  given  by  the  B.  and  H.  Asso- 
ciation any  day  during  their  race  meeting,  which  begins  next 
Tuesday  and  runs  ten  days — five  days  per  week.  A  $5  en- 
trance fee  is  to  be  charged  in  all  races  outside  of  handicaps, 
this  sum  required  to  accompany  every  entry,  and  $5  addi- 
tional will  be  charged  to  scratch  out,  provided  there  are  not 
ten  horses  left  to  start.  In  short,  it  costs  nothing  additional 
to  scratch  down  to  ten. 

The  pasture  at  Merriwa  (formerly  Valensin's)  Stock  Farm 
was  never  better.  Monroe  Salisbury  sent  up  twenty  mares 
there  two  weeks  ago.  A  number  of  owners  of  thoroughbreds 
at  the  Bay  District  Track  who  desire  to  give  their  worked  - 
out  sprinters  a  much  needed  rest  are  contemplating  sending 
two  carloads  (thirty-six  head)  there  next  week.  They  will 
be  well  cared  for  and  receive  the  personal  attention  of  the 
proprietor,  who  is  a  thorough  horseman. 

The  yearlings  bred  at  Woodburn  passed  under  the  hammer 
of  the  American  Horse  Exchange  on  Wednesday  night.  Mr. 
Easton  worked  hard,  but  he  conld  not  infuse  enthusiasm  into 
the  auction.  The  prices  were  low  The  elosing  of  so  many 
tracks  with  assaults  upon  the  constitutionality  of  the  Ives 
pool  law  has  creased  a  feeling  of  uneasiness.  Notwithstand- 
ing the  efforts  of  the  Jockey  Club  to  restore  canfidence  we 
have  seen  thoroughbred  yearlings  sell  at  work-horse  prices. 


The  telegraphic  board  at  St.  Louis,  an  invention  of  Capt. 
C.  W.  Bellairs,  the  track  superintendent,  interests  one  greatly, 
as  it  does  all  visitors  who  view  it  for  the  first  time.  By  a 
system  of  keys  in  the  judges'  stand  those  officials  are  enabled, 
by  wires  stretched  underneath  the  track,  the  instant  a  race  is 
finished,  to  show  the  winner's  number  on  a  dial  facing  the 
stand.  All  that  is  needed  to  do  this  is  the  touching  of  one 
of  the  keys  mentioned,  and  on  the  opposite  side  of  the  track 
the  number  indicated  is  instantly  shown. 


A  number  of  horsemen  at  the  Bay  District  Track  have 
concluded  to  send  all  the  horses  they  own  (that  are  not  eligi- 
ble to  earn  brackets  any  loDger  this  summer)  to  the  Merriwa, 
formerly  ValenBin's  Stock  Farm  near  Pleasanton.  Every  kind 
of  grass  grows  there,  while  the  alfalfa  is  almost  waist  high. 
The  few  thoroughbreds  there  now  look  as  if  they  were  in 
clover  for  years  instead  of  only  a  few  weeks.  R.  E.  deB. 
Lopez,  the  proprietor,  gives  bis  personal  attention  to  all 
horses  shipped  there.    See  advertisement  in  this  issue. 


Some  gentleman  from  Sacramento  (name  unknown)  sent  us 
a  $5  bill  for  one  year's  subscription  to  the  Breeder  and 
Sportsman.  As  Sacramento  is  a  pretty  large  place,  we  are 
much  afraid  trouble  will  be  experienced  in  picking  the  ab- 
Bent-minded  gentleman  out,  so  we  shall  be  much  obliged  if  he 
will  send  his  name.  All  our  Capital  City  friends  will  please 
not  speak  at  once 

Billy  Murky  declares  his  innocence  of  any  wrong-doing 
in  the  Pricelle  matter,  and  will  have  the  sworn  testimony  of 
Zeke  Abrahams  and  othersf  to  the  effect  that  they  heard  Chev- 
alier say  the  gelding  would  have  won  on  Wednesday  but  for 
falling  to  his  knees  on  the  latter  date.  Ruling  off  for  life  is 
a  very  serious  thing  to  a  person  in  the  business  from  child- 
hood, meaning  the  blasting  of  his  life,  and  an  accused  man 
should  have  every  chance  given  him  to  prove  his  innocence 
before  such  a  step  is  taken. 

At  Tuesday  night's  sale  of  yearling  thoroughbreds  in  New 
York  the  following  were  the  principal  transactions :  B  c  by 
Spendthrift— Curdevalt,  $2,300,  to  D.  Gideon  ;  b  f  by  Long- 
fellow—Leonora, $1,000,  L.  &  G.  Strauss ;  b  f  by  Longfel- 
low—Belle Knight,  $1,000,  L.  &  G.  Strauss ;  b  c  by  LoDgfel- 
low— Annie  Blackburn,  $1,000,  L.  &  G.  Strauss ;  b  f  by 
Longfellow — Queen  Beluga,  $1,350,  L.  &  G.  Strauss ;  b  f  by 
Longfellow— Semper  Idem,  $2,000,  L.  &  G.  Strauss  ;  b  f  by 
Longfellow — Kate  Malone,  $1,000,  R.  S.  Payne,  Indianapolis, 
Ind.  

One  jockey  dangerously  hurt,  another  seriously  injured  and 
a  horse  killed  while  running  furnished  excitement  to  1500 
spectators  at  Hawthorne  Tuesday.  In  the  final  race,  one 
and  one-sixteenth  miles,  over  four  hurdles,  Fakir,  Tom  Mack- 
in  and  Georgetown  were  so  close  in  approaching  the  first  hur- 
dle that  an  accident  could  be  foreseen.  The  three  horses  rose 
together  for  the  jump  and  came  down  in  a  heap  on  the  oppo- 
site side.  In  an  instant  the  horses  were  up  and  away,  and 
their  riders,  Blakely  and  Lightbody,  were  on  their  feet.  The 
colored  boy,  Burgess,  who  had  the  mount  on  Tom  Mackin, 
lay  on  the  track  apparently  lifeless.  The  boy's  ribs  on  the 
right  side  were  crushed,  and  a  physician  said  his  injuries 
might  prove  fatal.  

After  the  Brooklyn  Handicap  had  been  decided  it  was 
discovered  that  Leon  Stedeker,  who  had  been  making  a  Win- 
ter book  and  doing  business  on  the  first  four  races,  had  mys- 
teriously disappeared,  leaving  nothing  but  his  sheets  behind 
him.  Thomas  F.  Eagan,  manager  of  the  ring,  took  charge 
of  the  sheets.  In  all  probability  the  association  will  refund 
the  original  amount  bet  on  Dr.  Rice  to  win  and  Henry  of 
Navarre  for  a  place.  It  is  supposed  that  Stedeker  lost  heav- 
ily on  his  Winter  book  over  Dr.  Rice.  Whether  those  who 
won  on  Foster's  colt  will  be  able  to  collect  their  winnings  or 
not  the  future  will  decide.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that  Stedeker  will 
reappear  and  meet  his  obligations. — Daily  American  and 
Mercury. 

According  to'a  New  York  dispatch  of  Wednesday,  Starter 
Jimmy  Rowe  was  in  one  of  his  worst  moods,  and  the  starting 
was  worse  than  on  any  previous  day.  The  poorest  piece  of 
work  was  in  the  third  race,  and  he  probably  never  got  such  a 
scoring  in  his  life.  There  were  but  six  horses  in  this  race, 
and  all  but  one  were  old  campaigners.  After  the  jockeys  had 
been  every  way  for  a  time,  Rowe  got  down  and  walked  to  the 
rail.  The  six  broke  away  in  perfect  order,  but  he  refused  to 
let  them  go.  Then  he  stood  on  the  ground  for  awhile  until 
he  horses  got  into  line,  and  as  he  got  up  on  the  stand  he 
turned  and  saw  five  of  them  off  together,  but  he  did  not  see 
the  favorite,  Prig,  standing  still,  and  dropped  his  flag.  It 
was  a  bad  blunder,  and  Rowe  did  not  add  to  the  feelings  of 
anybody  by  throwing  down  his  flag  in  disgust. 

On  Monday,  the  28th  of  May,  the  local  racing  critics  will 
be  given  a  chance  to  distinguish  themselves  or  forever 
hold  their  peace.  Six  races  will  be  on  the  programme, 
which  is  expected  to  be  a  most  attractive  one,  and  the  vari- 
ous racing  editors  will  fill  all  the  positions  of  trust  at  old 
Bay  District  track.  Yesterday  afternoon  the  following  places 
were  assigned  the  representatives  of  the  press :  Presiding 
Judge,  Ralph  H.  Tozer,  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  ; 
Second  Judgs,  Dr.  E.  C.  Weatherly,  of  the  California  Turf  ; 
Third  Judge,  Homer  K.  Hibbets,  of  The  Examiner ;  Chief 
of  the  Board  of  Stewards,  David  W.  Higgins,of  Daily  America 
and  Mercury  of  New  York  ;  Associate  Steward,  David  E. 
Williamson,  of  Daily  Report;  Starter,  Ben  E.  Benjamin, 
of  the  Chronicle ;  Assistant  Starters,  W.  A.  Clifford  of  the 
Examiner  and  J.  L.  White  of  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man  ;  Clerk  of  the  Scales,  Henry  Forsland,  of  the  Call ; 
Official  Timers,  Fred  Farmar,  of  the  Bulletin  and  J.  Lauter- 
bach,  of  the  United  Press ;  Patrol  Judge,  George  Ward,  of 
the  Associated  Press.        

Chant,  the  Kentucky  Derby  winner  of  1894,  was  bred  at 
Woodburn  Stud  Farm  by  A.  J.  Alexander,  and  sold  as  a 
yearling  to  James  C.  Pepper,  for  $850.  Pepper,  after  trying 
him,  sold  him  to  Leigh  &  Rose,  his  present  owners,  for 
$6,000,  the  last-named  firm  seeing  him  negotiate  his  trials 
late  in  the  fall  of  his  yearling  form,  his  work  then  being  very 
high  class.  Though  failing  to  tend  a  stake  last  year,  Chant 
won  no  less  than  eight  good  races  as  a  two-year-old.  This 
season  in  ten  starts  he  has  won  seven  races,  a  purse  at  Little 
Rock,  two  purses  at  Memphis,  a  purse  and  Phcenix  Hotel 
Stakes  at  Lexington  and  the  Derby  May  15.  His  sire,  Fal- 
setto, ran  Lord  Murphy  to  a  head  in  this  same  race  in  1879, 
and  was  never  beaten  except  on  this  occasion,  while  his  dam, 
Addie  C,  to  the  same  stallion's  cover  threw  Messrs.  Keene's 
eood  colt  Christopher,  is  a  daughter  of  King  Alfonso,  out  of 
.Eroline,  by  Lexington,  the  latter  being  one  of  the  most  fam- 
ous brood  mares  in  the  Stud  Book,  having  produced  Spend- 
thrift, Fellowcraft,  Rutherford,  Miser  and  others  famous  in 
turf  annals.  Chant  is  fairly  well  engaged,  and  on  Tuesday  won 
the  rich  Clark  Stakes.

The  Exodus  East. 


The  departure  ot  so  many  great  trotters  and  pacers, 
"  the  cream  of  the  slope  "  to  the  Eastern  circuits  this 
year  will  be  a  surprise  to  our  many  friends  there. 
Never  before  in  the  history  of  California  has  such  a  num- 
ber of  really  first-class  horses,  trotters  and  pacers  (leav- 
iug  thoroughbreds  out  of  the  question)  gone  over  the 
mountains.  With  the  exception  of  Monroe  Salisbury, 
the  trainers  and  drivers  have  brought  small  stables,  but 
what  they  lack  in  quantity  they  more  than  atone  for  in 
quality. 

Thomas  Keating  takes  six  of  the  fastest  of  his  pos- 
sessions, and  Lee  Shaner,  of  Los  Cerritos  Stock  Farm, 
has  a  like  number.  This  is  their  first  experiment  of  go- 
ing iurther  East  than  Salt  Lake  City,  and,  as  they  have 
made  many  entries  in  all  the  lead  i  tig  meetings  on  the 
large  Eastern  circuits,  they  will  be  able  to  compare  the 
greatness  of  their  California-bred  horses  with  those  that 
have  been  bred  and  developed  east  of  the  Rocky 
Mountains. 

John  A.  Goldsmith  has  received  several  important  ad- 
ditions to  his  "California  string"  whuh  will,  in  his 
able  hands,  add  more  glory  to  California's  well-earned 
reputation  as  the  nursery  of  equine  kings  and  queens. 

Orrin  A.  Hickok  left  this  land  by  the  sunset  sea  with 
a  car  load  of  kings  and  princesses,  and  will  be  a  tamiliar 
figure  on  all  the  tracks  where  the  largest  purses  are  of- 
iered  for  the  fastest  horses. 

Thos.  Raymond,  with  Klamath,  2:13}  and  a  few  other 
good  ones,  is  gradually  going  eastward,  and  the  Oregon 
wonder  that  knows  him  so  well  will  surprise  Eastern 
audiences  and  horsemen,  too,  by  the  persistent  way  he 
will  easily  overhaul  every  contestant  in  front  of  him 
on  the  homestretch.  He  is  a  great  lover  of  the  home 
plate  and  will  never  quit  trotting  faster  and  faster  until 
he  is  well  under  the  wire. 

Monroe  Salisbury,  with  Andy  McDowell  as  first  knight 
of  the  whip,  will  leave  next  week  for  the  East.  There 
will  be  about  eighteen  horses  for  Mr.  Salisbury  and 
his  lieutenants  to  look  after.  These  trotters  and  pacers 
are  representatives  of  many  of  what  are  called. California 
sires  and  dams,  and,  unless  something  at  present  unex- 
pected happens,  it  would  not  surprise  us  to  hear  of  this 
string  of  horses  returning  to  California  with  every  repre- 
sentative a  winner  of  hard  races  and  a  goodly  sum  of 
Eastern  coin. 

Next  year  it  is  believed  the  associations  in  California 
will  hold  a  convention  in  February,  and  hang  up  uni- 
form purses  of  the  value  of  those  now  offered,  and  with 
them  as  an  inducement,  many  of  the  above-named  train- 
ers, with  their  horses,  will  remain  here.  As  it  is,  the 
owners  of  trotters  and  pacers  here  that  can  trot  in  2:40 
or  better  will  have  as  good  an  opportunity  of  earning  as 
much  money  as  owners  of  trotters  that  can  go  three 
heats  in  2:20  or  better.  The  free  for-all  trotting  and 
pacing  races  did  not  fill  for  the  reason  that  there  are 
very  few  left  on  this  coast  to  compete  in  them,  hence  we 
shall  have  to  be  satisfied  with  closer  contests  between 
larger  fields  of  slower  horses.  Without  doubt,  the  chances 
for  enjoying  the  sport  will  be  increased,  while  the 
chances  for  picking  the  winner  will  be  much  more  diffi- 
cult. 


Entries  to  Close  June  1st. 


The  advertisement  pages  of  this  journal  contain  a  pe- 
culiar interest  for  every  owner,  trainer  and  breeder  of 
horses  (thoroughbreds,  trotters  and  pacers)  at  this  time. 
Entries  will  close  on  June  1st  for  almost  every  race 
meeting  advertised  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and  to  neglect 
to  fill  out  the  necessary  blanks  and  send  them  in  on  or 
before  that  date  means  a  great  loss  to  these  men. 

The  spring  meeting  at  Portland,  Oregon,  at  which 
$l.r),000  is  offered  in  purses  and  specials,  closes  its  en- 
tries on  that  day. 

The  great  meeting  at  Woodland,  in  which  the  trotting 
and  pacing  races  that  were  unfilled  at  the  time  the  en- 
tries were  closed,  has  in  its  advertisement  the  notice:  En- 
tries will  close  June  1st.  Everyone  who  has  ever  been 
to  Woodland  will  try  and  go  there  this  year,  besides, 
this  meeting  takes  place  the  week  preceding  the  State 
Fair. 

Another  meeting  which  advertises  the  closing  of  en- 
tries June  1st,  for  purses  that  were  reopened, is  the  Gold- 
en ( late  Fair  Association  at  Oakland.  As  horse  owners 
have  a  very  fair  idea  of  the  list  of  horses  eligible  for 
these  classes  (lately  published  in  this  journal)  at  the 
fall  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  Association  and  the  list 
in  this  issue  which  has  been  received  by  the  Petaluma 
Association,  they  can  have  a  fair  conception  of  what 
they  have  to  compete  against. 


The  big  purses  reopened  for  the  summer  meeting  »f 
the  Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders' .  Association 
will  also  close  June  1st. 

In  these  appeals  by  these  associations  for  entries,  we 
desire  to  see  the  most  liberal  responses,  not  only  for  their 
welfare,  but  for  the  prosperity  of  the  light-harness  in- 
dustry. Every  owner  of  a  good  horse,  be  it  young  or 
old,  should  decide  at  once  to  take  in  the  whole  circuit, 
beginning  with  the  summer  meeting  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H, 
B.  A.  Make  entries  right  through,  and  if  the  trotter 
fails  to  win  at  one  place,  he  will  have  a  better  chance  at 
the  next.  The  terms  are  so  liberal  and  the  purses  so 
large  that  there  should  be  no  hesitancy  on  the  part  ot 
owners  in  making  entries  and  having  their  horses  ready 
when  the  bell  rings.  A  large  number  of  the  really  dan- 
gerous trotters  and  pacers  have  left  California  this  year, 
hence  the  chances  for  those  remaining  here  to  make 
money  are  increased. 

The  $2,000  Futurity  Purse  for  trotters  (foals  of  1894) 
will  close  June  1st.  The  advertisement  is  very  com- 
plete and  every  owner  of  a  good  mare  that  is  the  dam  ot 
a  foal  this  year  should  send  its  name  to  Oakland  at  once 
on  one  of  the  entry  blanks  provided  for  that  purpose  by 
Secretary  Dimond. 

"  Horsemen,  the  State  Agricultural  Society  is  alive  to 
your  interests,"  in  the  announcement  that  heads  the  ad- 
vertisement of  that  association  for  its  $5,000  guaranteed 
stake  for  foals  of  1894,  entries  for  which  will  close  June 
1st  also.  Only  two  small  payments  before  your  colts  are 
to  trot,  says  Secretary  Edwin  F.  Smith,  and  with  the  ex- 
planatory notes  in  the  advertisement  every  owner  of  a 
good  foal  should  become  familiar  and  send  the  entrance 
money  in  at  once. 

The  above  list  is  enough  to  make  horsemen  btop  and 
consider  the  importance  of  the  first  day  of  June.  It  is  a 
greater  day  to  them  than  Christmas  or  the  Fourth  of 
July,  if  they  will  only  attend  to  the  duties  developing 
upon  them  before  12  p.  M.  of  that  day. 


Petaluma    Races   Will   Be    a    Success. 


The  long  list  of  entries  to  the  Petaluma  race  meeting 
furnishes  convincing  and  conclusive  evidence  that  by 
properly  advertising  a  meeting,  offering  large  purses 
on  liberal  terms,  owners  and  trainers  will  not  be  slow  in 
sending  in  the  names  of  their  horses. 

When  this  plan  of  $1,000  purses  and  low  entrance 
with  an  opportunity  to  declare  out  on  a  small  payment 
was  first  advanced,  a  number  of  horsemen  and 
would-be  turf  scribes  shook  their  heads,  sharp- 
ened their  pencils  and  wrote  articles  derogatory  to 
it.  Nothing  but  failure  could  result  from  a  depart- 
ure from  the  old- time  rut  into  which  the  wheels 
of  progress  had  become  mired  and  rusty ;  it  would  be 
impossible  for  the  associations  to  get  horsemen  to  make 
entries  enough  to  pay  for  the  first  week's  advertising  ; 
but  the  long  lists  of  entries  which  greeted  the  eyes  of 
the  Directors  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association,  Golden 
Gate  Fair  Association,  Woodland  and  Petaluma  have 
silenced  these  "sore  heads,"  and  the  horse  breeders  and 
owners  who  have  heretofore  had  little  encouragement  to 
train  their  colts  and  fillies,  because  "there  was  nothing 
in  it,"  are  now  actively  engaged  in  preparing  their  well- 
bred  trotters  and  pacers  for  the  events  this  fall,  in  which 
they  see  a  chance  to  get  a  share  of  the  liberal  purses 
which  are  offered  by  the  associations  named.  At  the 
same  time,  they  are  increasing  the  value  of  their  stock. 
With  two  such  laudable  objects  in  view,  augmented  by  a 
desire  to  be  an  owner  of  a  fast  trotter — a  pride,  by  the 
way,  that  lifts  a  man  an  au  equality  with  the  richest  in 
the  land — the  associations  which  offered  such  liberal 
terms  and  programmes  to  suit  just  such  owners,  have 
had  little  or  no  trouble  in  checking  the  many  entries 
that  flowed  in  every  day  until  the  date  of  closing. 

The  Directors  of  the  Petaluma  Association  are  to  be 
congratulated,  and  the  horsemen  of  California  should 
also  share  with  them  the  congratulations  of  every  lover 
of  a  good  horse  on  the  splendid  showing  made.  The 
dawning  of  a  brighter  day  for  the  light  harness  horse  is 
noticeable  in  every  large  city,  and  in  every  town  and 
county  in  America. 

The  subject  ol  good  roads  is  being  agitated 
everywhere,  and  with  good  roads  will  come  the  desire  to 
ride  over  them  faster  than  has  heretofore  been  the  cus- 
tom. A  market  is  thus  opening  for  horses  that  have 
speed  and  the  qualities  so   essential   for   road  purposes. 

With  every  association  in  California  like  those  above 
named  striving  to  encourage  the  breeding  and  develop- 
ing of  a  class  of  horses  to  meet  the  demand  that  is  sure 
to  come,  there  is  every  reason  to  believe  that  hereafter 
better  prices  will  prevail.  The  day  for  scrub  horses  that 
havebreeding,withotit  individuality  or  speed,  has  passed.

Therefore,  this  endeavor  of  our  Pacific  Coast  associations 
to  offer  inducements  fur  all  breeders  to  strive  and  get  the 
best,  and  train  and  race  them,  cannot  be  too  highly 
commended. 

Another  feature  noticeable  in  the  long  list  of  entries  to 
the  Petaluma  fall  races  may,  perhaps,  be  overlooked,  and 
that  is,  when  an  association  offers  low  purses  for  colt 
stakes  in  an  advertisement  that  contains  no  information 
of  the  programme  of  other  races  to  he  offered  at  the 
meeting,  horse  owners  will  not  make  entries ;  but,  if  a 
complete  programme  containing  nomination  purses,  trot- 
ting purses,  and  colt  stakes  be  published,  every  one  of 
the  events  fill  well.  Horse  owners  do  not  care  to  divide 
their  stables,  they  like  to  have  races  for  their  yearlings 
and  two-year-olds  as  well  as  for  older  trotters  and  pacers. 
This  idea  of  advertising  complete  programmes  is  the 
cheapest  and  best  after  all,  and  should  be  adopted  here- 
after by  all  associations. 


The  Sale  Next  Tuesday. 


The  Press  and  the  Turf. 


Every  year  the  value  of  the  turf  press  a3  an  educator 
is  becoming  more  universally  recognized.  For  the  dissemi- 
nation of  knowledge,  and  the  recording  of  mertorious 
deeds  upon  the  turf,  the  turf  journal  to-day  is  indispen- 
sable and  every  effort  of  reform,  every  attempt  to  place 
the  industry  on  a  stronger  and  more  substantial  basis, 
can  be  traced  to  its  influence.  The  value  of  honorable 
dealing  in  all  matters  pertaining  to  the  racing  of  horses 
and  the  presentation  of  facts  regarding  the  value  of  re- 
sponsible associations  are  shown  in  every  issue  of  every 
authentic  turf  publication  in  the  land.  The  Western 
Breeder,  in  its  last  issue,  has  the  following  upon  this 
subject : 

"  There  is  a  connecting  link  between  the  trotting  turf  press  and 
the  success  of  the  trotting  horse  breeder  and  race  manager  that  fre- 
quent occurrences  go  far  toward  indicating  are  not  recognized,  or  are 
at  least  frequently  ignored.  A  few  prominent  breeders  there  are  who 
talk,  write  and  act  as  though  they  regard  turf  papers  as  entirely  sup- 
plementary, and  unnecessary  to  the  success  of  trotting  horse  breeders 
and  trotting  associations.  We  do  not  know  by  what  processes  of 
reasoning  this  conclusion  is  reached,  but  surely  it  is  not  by  the  ap- 
plication of  any  principle  affecting  other  legitimate  business.  The 
Buccess  of  a  business  lite  the  trotting  horse  interest  depends  wholly 
upon  the  interest  manifested  in  the  same  by  the  public,  and  if  there 
is  any  way  of  interesting  the  public  in  any  such  business  only 
through  the  press  devoted  to  that  interest,  we  fail  to  recognize  the 
fact.  Without  a  turf  press  to  keep  the  trotting  horse  business  alive 
and  before  the  public,  one  or  two  stock  farms  could  supply  the  whole 
demand  for  trotting  itock,  and  soon  even  that  demand  would  die  out. 
The  desire  to  own  a  trotter  or  pacer,  stallion  or  broodmare,  invari- 
ably originates  from  a  fancy  generated  by  the  reading  of  a  turf  paper, 
and  the  new  purchasers  and  fanciers  continually  dropping  into  the 
trotting  horse  business— and  these  have  always  been  and  always  will 
be  the  life  of  the  business— are  the  legitimate  fruits  of  the  turf  press, 
and  yet  there  are  large  breeders  who  by  their  actions  say  :  '  To  the 
dogs  with  the  turf  press— why  should  I  take  a  turf  paper  or  give  them 
any  advertising  patronage? '  A  breeder  can  just  as  well  consistently 
say:  'What  do  I  care  for  the  success  of  trotting  associations  ?— I  don't 
own  them.'  And  yet,  without  trotting  associations  trotters  would 
not  be  worth  as  much  as  mules.  As  compared  to  the  benefits  received 
it  is  remarkable  how  little  many  prominent  breeders  contribute 
toward  the  mainteuance  of  the  tnrf  press,  and  though  through  stal- 
lion fees  and  sales  a  breeder  (some  breeders)  may  realize  from  §10,000 
to  820,000  profit  annually  he  growls  because  he  cannot  procure  a 
hundred  dollars  worth  of  advertising  for  half  that  amount.  It  is  a 
great  consolation  to  turf  paper  publishers  that  the  majority  of  trot- 
ting horse  breeders  do  not  manifest  this  inclination  of  '  hoggishness,' 
but  there  are  a  few  very  '  big  horsemen  '  that  are  possessed  with  very 
small  magnanimity." 


There  will  be  chances  for  picking  up  first-class  campaign- 
ers, roadsters,  broodmares,  colts  and  fillies  at  the  auction 
next  Tuesday,  May  29th,  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  salesyard.  Mr. 
Wm.  Hendrickson  has  made  all  arrangements  to  go  East  and 
consigns  every  one  of  his  grandly-bred  trotters,  including 
Fanny  D.,  2:28}  ;  Langford,  2:28}  and  others.  The  finest  of 
roadsters,  as  well  as  some  choicely-bred  colts  and  fillies  which 
he  bred,  that  are  out  of  the  mares  he  brought  from  New 
Jersey,  and  by  such  mares  as  Kebir,  2:28}  ;  California  Nut- 
wood, The  Dane,  etc.,  will  be  sold-  They  are  all  sound  and 
in  perfect  condition. 

Matthew  Kerr  sends  all  the  horses,  mares,  colts  and  fillies 
he  possesses,  and  every  Californian  knows  he  is  an  ex- 
cellent judge  of  horses.  There  are  young  colts  and  fillies  by 
such  sires  as  Silver  Bow,  2:16,  Memo,  St.  Nicholas,  Bisque, 
Alcona  Jr.,  Skenandoah,  out  of  some  of  the  grandest  formed 
mares  in  this  State. 

H.  A.  Mavhew  consigns  all  of  his  stock  of  trotters.  Most 
of  them  are  by  Ernest  Director  13,380  (he  by  Director,  2:17, 
out  of  Ellen  May  hew,  2:22,  dam  of  Oro  Wilkes,  2:15);  Char- 
ley Ross  (son  of  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15}  and  Nelly,  by  Arthur-ton); 
Mt.  Hood,  2:22}  ;  Secretary  (son  of  Director)  and  Billy  Hay- 
ward.  2:31$.  The  dams  of  these  youngsters  are  all  well  bred 
and  first  class  individuals.  There  are  some  very  choice 
family  roadsters  in  this  lot. 

The  estate  of  Geo.  E.  Whitney  sends  all  the  mares,  colts 
and  fillies  that  excellent  horseman  owned.  Most  of  them  are 
out  of  Western  Girl  (dam  of  Honesty,  2:25|),  by  such  sires  as 
Chas.  Derby,  2:20,  Linwood,  Noonday,  2:30,  and  Nutwood 
Wilkes,  2:20£. 

Dr.  Thos.  Bowhill  sends  Dolly,  by  Dave  Hill  Jr.,  her  filly 
by  Tom  Benton  and  a  black  colt  by  Grand  Moor. 

W.  H.  Coleman  sends  the  game  trotting  mare  Pet,  2:25, 
made  in  fourth  heat. 

G.  Wempe  sends  a  chestnut  mare  by  Robert  Lee,  out  of

Besides  these  there  are  several  other  choicely -bred,  well- 
trained  trotters  and  pacers.  The  sale  will  commence  at  11 
o'clock  next  Tuesday  morning.  Send  to  Killip  &  Co.  for

The  Departure  of  the  King. 

Last  Saturday  afternoon  business  was  suspended  in  Pleas- 
anton  as  the  champion  trotting  stallion  of  the  world,  Directum, 
2:05},  led  a  little  pracession  through  the  shaded  streets  to  the 
depot  where  a  Palace  Car  was  in  waiting  to  convey  him  to 
"battlefields  afar  where  fame  and  glory  awaits  him."  Orrin 
A.  Hickok,  the  great  driver  who  is  to  handle  the  ribbons 
over  the  black  king,  anxiously  watched  every  step  the  five- 
year-old  have  as  he  gingerly  picked  his  way  over  the  road. 
Behind  Directum,  Silicon,  2:15|,  the  beautiful  daughter  of 
Wilton,  followed,  and  after  her  the  Steinway  pacing  mare 
Argenta.  At  her  saddle  girths  were  two  daughters  of  Wilton 
and  then  to  bring  up  the  rear  of  the  procession  came  the 
Dexter  Prince  stallion,  Prince  Ira,  owned  by  Ira  Ramsdell, 
of  this  city. 

The  work  of  getting  them  abroad  the  cars  was  quickly 
accomplished,  Directum  looking  around  at  the  admiring 
group  of  horsemen  as  much  as  to  say,  "  when  I  come  back  I 
will  have  my  crown  with  me.1'  The  rest  of  the  trotters  and 
pacers  also  came  in  for  a  show  of  attention.  Everyone  of 
those  assembled  felt  as  if  they  lost  an  old  and  tried  friend 
when  the  bell  rang  and  the  cars  moved  out  of  the  depot  on 
their  journey  to  the  East. 

Directum  will  not  be  seen  in  the  Detroit  free-for-all,  but 
he  will  appear  on  anumber  of  Eastern  tracks.  When  he  got 
through  racing  last  Christmas  Salisbury  had  reduced  the 
weight  of  his  shoes  from  sixteen  to  ten  ounces,  but  owing  to 
the  fact  that  he  was  keyed  up  all  the  time  Mr.  Hickok  found 
out  that  he  would  have  to  resume  the  sixteen  ounce  shoes, 
and  will  have  to  reduce  the  weights  gradually  on  his  feet. 
Directum  will  be  at  his  best  in  October  and  November,  and 
if  he  does  not,in  Mr.  Hickok's  hands,  be  the  king  of  all  light- 
harness  horses,  stallions,  mares  and  geldings,  trotters  and 
pacers,  then  there  is  no  use  for  prophecy  in  the  horse  industryt

Tom  Murphy  in  Russia. 


The  new  association  of  thoroughbred  horse  owners, 
breeders  and  trainers  is  just  one  week  old,  and  has  a 
membership  of  110  name3.  All  persons  in  California, 
Oregon  and  Nevada  who  own  thoroughbred  horses,  or 
who  are  breeders  or  trainers,  should  send  in  their  appli- 
cations at  once  to  the  secretary.  The  prospects  are  very 
favorable  for  this  being  the  largest  organization  of  its 
kind  in  the  United  States.  Over  600  horses  are  owned 
and  controlled  by  the  present  membership.  The  first 
meeting  will  commence  next  Tuesday  at  the  Bay  District 
track,  and  will  last  two  weeks.

Entries  to  the  Spring  races  at  Portland,  Or.,  close  June 
1st.  If  you  have  not  received  a  programme,  see  advertise- 
ment in  this  issue.  Cheap  transportation  has  been  arranged 
and  everything  is  in  readiness  for  a  good  meeting. 


J.  Dinoe,  of  this  city,  started  for  Grass  Valley  on  Thurs- 
day evening  with  the  consignment  of  trotters  purchased  by 
W.  C  Jones  at  the  Corbitt  sale  Tuesday.  Mr.  Dinue  has 
earned  an  enviable  reputation  as  a  careful  and  competent 
shipper  of  livestock  and  understands  the  business  thoroughly. 


James  Golden  has  three  sweet  mares  in  training  at  Bos-

Grand  International  Equestrian  Festival. 

One  of  the  most  prominent  features  of  the  great  Equestrian 
Festival  will  be  the  standing  exhibit  of  horses :  thorough 
breds,  standard-breds,  hackneys,  carriage  horses,  coach  horses 
saddle  horses,  hunters,  ponies,  etc.  First-class  accommo- 
dation for  over  a  thousand  horses  has  been  provided  for  on 
the  grounds  and  the  'necessary  offices,  departments,  storage 
for  feed  and  water  supply  will  be  completed  in  a  few  days. 
Each  stall  will  be  lighted  by  electricity.  This,  the  first  Horse 
Show  in  the  State  of  California  will  be  one  of  the  finest  ex- 
hibitions of  the  kind  that  can  possibly  be  given. 

The  leading  breeders  and  horsemen  in  general  are  taking  a 
great  interest  in  the  affair,  and  aim  to  show  our  population 
and  the  thousands  of  Eastern  visitors  that  California  leads  in 
the  production  of  Ine  horses.  Possibly  a  great  many  of  our 
Native  Som  will  be  astonished  to  see  the  high  standard  we 
have  reached  in  this  paaticular  line.  No  doubt  the  last  week 
of  our  glorious  Midwinter  Fair  will  attract  people  from  all 
parts  of  the  Coast,  as  well  as  from  the  interior  of  this  State, 
and  with  an  increased  number  of  Eastern  tourists  it  will  be 
the  last  opportunity  to  show  the  multitude  our  progress  in  the 
profitable  occupation  of  raising  fine  stock. 

For  the  benefit  of  intending  exhibitors  at  the  Equestrian 
Festival,  the  Secretary  has  made  the  following  very  import- 
ant arraogement  with  the  S.  P.  R.  R.  Company  regarding  the 
transportation  of  animais. 

"  Shipments  from  stations  in  California  of  horses  for  exhibition 
purposes  only  (not  racing  purposes)  shipped  under  contract,  destined 
for  exhibiiion  at  the  Grand  International  Equestrian  Festival  Asso- 
ciation, San  Francisco,  will  be  forwarded  to  San  Francisco,  or  Mid- 
winter Fair,  as  the  case  may  be,  at  regular  rates  and  charges  collected 
on  delivery." 

Returning.  "  Consignee  or  exhibitor  will  be  required  to  surrender 
to  this  Company's  agent  at  point  of  returning  shipment  the  expense 
bill,  showing  charges  to  San  Francisco,  accompanied  with  certificate 
of  Secretary  of  the  Horse  Show  Association,  the  latter  setting  forth 
that  property  has  been  on  exhibition  and  not  changed  hands,  when 
the  horse  or  horses  will  be  forwarded  to  shipping  point  free  of  charge 
from  San  Francisco." 

Any  horses  from  adjoining  States  or  Territories  on  the  Pacific  sys- 
tem will  be  given  the  benefit  of  the  same  reduction. 

Parties  interested  in  raising  fine  horses  will  at  once  appre- 
ciate the  value  of  the  above  agreement,  and  by  increasing  the 
number  of  entries  it  will  greatly  benefit  the  Horse  Show  de- 
partment of  the  Equestrian  Festival. 

The  rules  and  regulations  governing  the  Horse  Show  and 
entry  blanks  will  be  sent  to  any  address  on  application  to  the 
Secretary,  G.  J.  Kelley,  No.  313  Bush  street,  Breeder  and 
Sportsman  Building.  _ 

The  Breeding  of  Don  Lowell's  Dam. 

Editor  Breedfr  and  Sportsman  : — In  regard  to  your 
able  article,  "  Will  Don  Lowell  Do  ? "  I  wish  to  correct  the 
statement  made  about  the  breeding  of  Don  Lowell's  dam 
The  story  of  the  sire,  Don  Marvin,  is  correct,  and  he  deserves 
all  the  praise  that  you  have  given  him.  Don  Lowell  is  a  great 
horse  and  will  make  himself  and  his  ancestors  famous,  but  the 
breeding  of  his  dam  as  heretofore  published  is  erroneous. 
William  Fitzgerald  of  Marysville  tells  the  story  in  his  own 
language  as  follows:  "A  man  named  Walker,  who  used  to  run 
the  present  Gianella  Place  on  the  Honcut  brought  from  Ore- 
gon one  mare  and  three  horses,  Nellie,  Sam  Jim;  I  forget  the 
name  of  the  other  horse.  All  of  them  were  sorrel  in  color. 
The  mare  Nellie  had  a  blaze  face  and  the  left  hind  leg  white. 
It  was  over  twenty  years  ago  that  they  arrived  here.  P.  C. 
Slattery  bought  the  three  animals  from  Walker,  and  bred  the 
mare  Nellie  to  J.  B.  McDonald's  stallion,  Reese  River  and 
got  a  bay  filly  that  was  afterwards  called  Molly.  Jim  Berry 
was  the  man  who  stood  Reese  River  at  the  time.  Slattery 
then  bred  Molly  to  Easton's  California  Dexter  and  got  a  bay 
filly  with  blaze  and  two  hind  legs  white.  This  one  was  called 
Nellie.  Mr.  Slattery  bred  Nellie  to  Brigadier  and  got  the 
dam  of  Don  Lowell,  2:20.}-.  This  pedigree  can  be  verified  at 
any  time.  Where  the  Langford  cross  comes  in  I  do  not 
know.  Keese  River  was  by  David  Hill,  out  of  a  running- 
bred  mare  that  was  brought  from  the  East."  G.  F.

D.  J.  Healy  received  Monday  morning,  a  letter  from  his  old 
friend,  Tom  Murphy,  who  recently  left  his  home  in  Petaluma 
to  accept  the  position  of  horse  trainer  for  the  Czar  of  all  the 
Russias.  Tom  is  located  at  the  imperial  equine  headquar- 
ters, which  are  at  Mirgorod,  in  the  province  of  Moltana, 
Russsa,  and  he  writes  in  glowing  terms  of  the  royal  treatment 
which  is  accorded  Mm.  He  does  not  seem  to  think  much  of 
the  horses  under  his  control,  taken  as  a  whole,  but  says  that 
there  are  some  promising  colts  in  the  lot.  He  is  located 
about  400  miles  from  St.  Petersburg,  and  among  the  hundreds 
of  employes  under  him  there  are  only  two  who  can  talk  the 
least  bit  of  English.  Tom  thinks  he  will  like  his  job  very 
well,  although  he  may  get  a  bit  homesick  with  natural  regrets 
for  "  the  land  of  the  free."  With  a  fat  salary  and  pretty 
nearly  everything  his  own  way,  he  will  probably  be  able  to 
stand  Russian  environments,  all  the  same.  And  it  will  be 
surprising,  too,  if  his  boss,  the  Czar   man,  does  not  find  in 

Tom  a  jewel  of  a  horse  trainer. — Petaluma  Imprint.

Error  in  Programme. 

Horsemen  please  take  notice  that  trotting  race  No.  23 
should  be  and  is  for  a  2:26  class  instead  of  2:16  class  as  pub- 
lished in  the  programmes  sent  out  last  week. 

Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association.    * 


Of  the  forty  and  odd  stallions  that  have  ten  or  more  with 
race  records  in  the  2:30  trotting  list  only  three  show  an  aver- 
age rate  of  speed  better  than  2:23  in  their  get  that  are  in  the 
list.  Alcyone  is  far  and  away  in  advance  of  all  other  stal- 
lions when  this  test  is  applied,  and  he  has  thirty-five  in  the 
2:30  trotting  list  with  an  average  race  record  of  2:2147-100. 
He  is  the  only  stallion  whose  get  average  better  than  2:22. 
He  was  foaled  in  1877,  and  following  him  is  Guy  Wilkes, 
foaled  in  1879.  He  has  thirty-one  sons  and  daughters  in  the 
2:30  race  record  list,  and  their  average  is  2:22  72-100.  Mam- 
brino  King,  who  was  foaled  in  1872,  quite  a  while  before 
either  Alcyone  or  Guy  Wilkes  saw  the  light,  is  third.  He 
has  twenty-eight  in  the  2:30  race  record  list,  and  their  aver- 
age rate  of  speed  is  2:22  91-100.  The  superiority  of  Alcyone 
is  marked,  and  that  he  is  the  best  son  of  George  Wilkes  there 
can  no  longer  be  any  doubt.  His  early  death  was  a  distinct 
loss  to  the  light  harness  horse  iudustry,  which  could  much 
better  have  spared  the  brother  of  Alcyone,  Alcantara,  al- 
though the  latter  had  the  fastest  record  of  the  pair,  2:23,  and 
was  a  showier  horse  than  Alcyone.  Alcantara  sold  for  the 
most  money,  but  time  has  shown  Alcyone  so  have  been  far 
the  most  valuable.  The  dam  of  Alcyone  was  by  Mambrino 
Patcfaen,  and  Mambrino  King,  that  figures  in  the  list  re- 
ferred to  above,  is  also  by  the  black  son  of  Mambrino  Chief, 
whose  blood  has  proven  so  potent  through  his  daughters. —

The  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association  now  has  a 
membership  of  over  100,  and  the  membership  roll  contains 
the  names  of  some  of  the  leading  men  of  the  Pacific  Coast-in- 
terested in  racing.  The  success  of  the  meeting  which  begins 
next  Tuesday  at  Bay  District  track  is  assured,  beyond  all 
doubt. 


The  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association  has  decided  to 
give  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth  race  for  gentlemen  riders  on 
Decoration  Day,  which  is  nest  Wednesday.  Some  of  the 
best  horses  at  the  local  track  will  be  in  that  race.  Our  ama- 
teurs are  getting  very  clever  in  the  riding  line. 

The  colt  started  by  the  Carmona  Stable  folks  yesterday 
under  the  name  of  Cochita  is  really  named  Chiquito,  so  Mr. 
F.  deOjeda  tells  us.  He  is  by  Quito,  dam  Nine  Oaks,  by 
Terror  or  Day  Star;  second  dam  Seven  <  >aks,  by  Vandal; 
third  dam  Mary,  by  Birmingham,  &c. 

Blizzard  started  off  well  for  his  new  owner,  A.  B.  Spreck- 
els,  who  is  credited  with  winning  a  few  thousands  on  the 
brown  colt  yesterday  at  the  remunerative  odds  of  5  to  1.  Gal- 
lant, too,  came  in  for  a  goodly  backing.  Whether  he  played 
Straight  Tip  at  12  to  1  is  not  known  for  a  certainty. 


The  clever  little  jockey,  Chevalier,  leaves  next  Sunday 
for  Hawthorne  Park,  Chicago.  Dow  Williams  developed 
both  Chevalier  and  Si  McClaineas  jockeys,  and  is  very  proud 
of  both,  naturally.  Dow  is  in  Chicago  now  with  h\s  string. 
Chevalier  is  a  native  of  New  Orleans,  his  ancestors  bein^' 
owned  by  the  Chevalier  family,  who  are  Creoles.

CARTRIDGE     AND     SHELL. 


If  H.  G.  Wilson,  of  Oakland  or  Alameda,  will  send  in  his 
address  we  will  give  him  some  information  of  value. 

Captain  Slack,  the  well-known  rifle  shot,  was  elected  as 
honorary  member  of  the  Nimrod  Club  last  week. 

Mr.  C.  A.  Haight,  the  well-known  and  popular  Pacifie 
Coast  agent  of  the  Dupont  Powder  Co,,  has  moved  his  office 
to  Room  6  on  the  same  floor  of  his  former  office.  The  new 
quarters  are  a  great  improvement  over  the  old. 

We  call  the  special  attention  of  our  readers  to  Mr.  New- 
some's  article  in  another  column  on  the  destruction  of  wild 
fowl  by  the  method  of  slaughter  known  as  "ox-hunting."  A 
game  warden  would  be  of  great  service  in  that  country. 

Through  the  efforts  of  the  committee  appointed  hy  the 
Sportsmen's  Convention,  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  city 
and  county  of  San  Francisco  passed  an  ordinance  on  Monday 
last  prohibiting  the  sale  of  robins  and  larks  during  the  close 
season  for  game.  

E.  D.  Fulford  has  accepted  Dr.  W.  F.  Carver's  challenge  to 
shoot  a  match  at  100  live  pigeons  per  man,  Hurlingham  rules, 
weight  of  gun  not  to  exceed  8  pounds,  30  yarns'  rise  for  $500 
a  side.  Fulford  Bays  the  birds  must  be  all  blue  birds.  Does  he 
think  that  Dr.  Carvei's  sight  is  failing  ? 

The  many  friends  of  the  eminent  lawyer  and  well-known 
sportsman,  W.  W.  Foote,  will  be  pleased  to  learn  that  he  is 
out  of  danger.  The  fractured  ankle  is  mending,  but  it  is 
claimed  that  he  will  be  lame  for  life.  A  local  daily  states 
that  his  forced  diet  of  milk  and  water  has  lengthened  his  life 
at  least  ten  years. 

Fred  Hoey  keeps  adding  to  his  long  list  of  winnings.  On 
May  11th  he  won  the  Larchmont  Cup,  a  twenty-hve-bird 
race,  killing  twenty-five  straight.  L.  T.  Davenport  tied  him, 
but  lost  in  the  shoot-off.  On  the  4th  he  *on  the  Riverton 
Challenge  Plate  at  $650:  with  a  score  of  47  out  of  50.  Fred 
Moore,  who  tied  him, secured  S  iu  tiie  shoot-off,  miss  and  out, 
to  Hoey's  9.  

A  recent  dispatch  from  Portland,  Oregon,  stales  that  some 
of  the  parties  who  aided  an  agent  in  San  Francisco  in  secur- 
ing and  shipping  tweuty-six  pair  of  Mongolian  pheasants  to 
California  to  stock  certain  counties  there,  have  been  arrested 
under  the  law  which  forbids  anyone  from  shipping  pheasants 
out  of  the  State  and  forbids  railroads  from  carrying  them. 
The  law  was  passed  to  stop  the  shipment  of  dead  pheasants 
to  the  Sao  Francisco  market. 

The  Destruction  of  the  "Wild  Fowl. 


Among  the  vanishing  game  birds  there  are  none  whose  dis- 
appearance is  looked  upon  with  more  regret  by  the  sportsmen 
than  the  wild  fowl,  whose  annual  migration  in  years  past  has 
been  looked  upon  as  the  happiest  time  of  all  the  sporting 
year.  A  few  years  ago  this  vicinity  could  be  rightly  called 
the  wild-fowl  shooters  paradise;  but  all  of  this  in  a  great 
measure  has  passed  away.  Now  only  a  few  scattered  bands 
appear,  but  they  cannot  resist  the  cannonade,  and  are  off 
again  before  they  have  time  to  find  the  feeding  grounds. 

The  reason  of  the  decrease  of  the  wild  fowl  is  very  clear. 
I  wil!  admit  that  the  improvement  in  tirenrms  has  toa  certain 
extent  helped  to  diminish  the  number  of  our  wild  fowl,  but 
I  hold  that  the  main  cause  is  due  to  the  ox  hunter.  Having 
resided  in  this  vicinity  before  the  origination  of  ox  hunting, 
I  am  in  a  position  to  sec  what  destruction  the  ox  hunter  has 
done  to  diminish  our  wild  fowl.  '  >x  hunting  was  brought  in 
use  some  fifteen  years  ago,  and  for  a  few  years  it  was  consid- 
ered a  science  and  only  followed  by  a  few.  But  what  is  it 
to-day  ?  Every  person  that  can  get  hold  of  an  ox  or  a  cow, 
and  an  old  pot-metal  shoulder-breaker  has  joined  the  fray. 
I  wil)  explain  the  mode  of  hunting  with  an  ox. 

There  are  generally  two  hunter*  to  an  ox  ;  one  drives  the 
wagon  and  the  other  does  the  shooting.  The  hunter  with  his 
field  glass  sights  n  band  of  ducks  feeding  on  ground  that,  baa 
been  Hooded  i  some  irrigation  ditch,  he  selects  the  spot 
where  the  most  valuable  ducks  are,  then  he  takes  bin  trained 
ox  Mini  generally  his  No.  1  gun  and  begins  what  he  calls  a 
drive,  that  is,  he  keeps  hidden  behind  his  ox.  He  approaches 


nearer  and  nearer  until  he  is  in  shooting  distance,  he  then 
kneels  down  and  the  ox  walks  on,  leaving  him  in  plain  view 
of  the  ducks.  Bang  !  bang  ! !  goes  his  young  cannon.  The 
result  is  that  he  kills  from  one  hundred  to  one  hundred  and 
fifty  ducks  with  both  barrels.  The  birds  that  are  fortunate 
enough  to  escape  rise  high  in  the  air  and  perhaps  fly  half  a 
dozen  miles  before  they  alight,  to  be  again  greeted  with  the 
same  old  chorus  by  some  other  ox  hunter  and  his  young  can- 
non. The  last  Legislature  enacted  a  law  prohibiting  the  use 
of  a  gun  larger  than  a  No.  10,  but  that  law  seems  to  be  a  dead 
letter  in  this  community.  There  were  at  least  fifty  ox  hun- 
ters in  this  vicinity  last  winter,  and  most  all  of  them  used 
guns  larger  than  No.  10.  I  believe  there  were  only  two  or 
three  convicted  for  using  them.  If  every  true  sportsman  will 
use  his  endeavors  to  have  a  law  enaeted  to  stop  this  mode  of 
destroying  the  wild  fowl,  in  a  few  years  we  can  boast  of  a 
never-failing  supply.  Edward  T.  Newsome.

The  New  Smokeless  (No.  3). 

Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — As  this  new  powder 
is  a  local  invention  and  will  unquestionably  be  used  very 
largely  on  this  coast,  the  proper  loading  of  the  same  is  of  the 
greatest  importance  to  your  readers.  This  is  my  only  apology 
for  taking  up  so  much  of  your  valuable  space.  I  will  now 
give  you  the  results  in  detail  of  my  experiments  last  week. 
My  main  object  was  to  find  a  cheap  load  for  field  and  blue 
rock  shooting. 

As  before,  the  charges  were  accurately  weighed  and  the 
same  gun  was  used. 

Load  No.  10-42  grains  U.  S.  S.,  one  No.  12  card,  two  No. 
11  black  edge  wads  on  powder,  1}  oz.  No.  7  shot  (chilled) 
in  the  Rival  shell.  Average  penetration  21  cards.  Pattern 
too  open  to  bother  to  count. 

Load  No.  11 — Same  as  No.  10  except  that  the  card  wad  was 
placed  under  the  6hot  in  place  of  immediately  above  the 
powder.  Result,  average  penetration  20  cards.  Pattern, 
Right  barrel  331,  left  353,  showing  conclusively  that  the  card 
under  shot  gives  the  best  pattern. 

Load  No.  12-42  grains  U.  S.  S-,  one  white  field  No.  12,  one 
black  edge  No.  12,  one  card  No.  12, 1 J  oz.  No.  7  chilled  shot. 
Rival  shell.  Both  charges  balled.  Penetration  14  and  18 
cards. 

Load  No.  13 — Same  as  12  except  in  No.  11  black  edge  in 
place  of  No.  12.  Result  same,  proving  conclusively  that  the 
very  soft  felt  wad  is  not  the  proper  wad  to  place  over  this 
powder  as  it  allows  the  gasses  to  mingle  with  the  shot  in  the 
barrel  and  ruins  both  pattern  and  penetration. 

Load  No.  14-42  grains  U.  S.  S.j  one  card  No.  12,  one  3-8 
felt  No.  12  and  one  card  No.  12,  1£  oz.  No.  7  chilled  shot. 
Rival  shell.    Penetration  14.    Pattern  fair. 

Load  No.  15 — Same  as  above  except  a  No.  11  3-8  felt  in 
place  of  No.  12.     Penetration  17.     Pattern  not  as  good. 

Load  No.  16-42  grains  U.  S.  S.,  two  No.  11  black  edge  and 
one  card  No.  12,  same  shot.  Pattern  332  and  308.  Pene- 
tration 20  and  19. 

Load  No.  17—40  grains  U.  S.  S.,  same  wads,  same  shot. 
Nitro  Rival  shell.  Pattern  290  and  353.  Penetration  19 
and  17. 

Load  No.  18—37  grains  U.  S.  S.,  2  No.  11  Black  Edge,  1 
No.  12  card,  1£  oz.  No.  7  chilled  shot,  Nitro  Rival  shell.  Pat- 
tern 352  and  3ri0.     Penetration  19  and  20  cards. 

Load  No.  19 — 37  grains  U.  S.  S.,  same  wads,  same  shell  as 
No.  18, 1  1-8  oz.  No.  8  chilled  shot.  Pattern  371  and  316. 
Penetration,  18  cards. 

Load  No.  20—37  grains  U.  S.  S.,  same  load  as  No.  18,  1 1-8 
oz.  No.  7.    Penetration,  18  and  17.    Pattern  lost. 

Load  No.  21— Same  as  Mo.  18, 1  1-8  oz.  No.  6  chilled  shot. 
Penetration,  23  cards. 

Load  No.  22 — 42  grains  U.  S.  S.,  same  wads  and  shot  as 
No.  20.     Penetration,  17  and  18  cards. 

As  I  was  positive  that  No.  8  shot  should  have  a  heavier 
wadding  than  No.  7, 1  then  tried. 

Load  No. 23— 37  grains  U.S.  S.,  1  black  edge  No  11,  3-8 
felt  No.  12,  1  card  No.  12, 1  1-8  oz.  No.  8  chilled  shot.  Pat- 
tern, 352  and  388.     Penetration,  17  and  18  cards. 

Load  No.  24—42  grains  TJ.  S.  S.,  2  black  edge  No;  10, 
over  powder  1  No.  12  black  edge  over  1  1-8  oz.,  No.  7  chilled 
shot.  Pattern,  255  and  295.  Brass  Shell.  Penetration,  15  and 
14. 

Bursting  strand  of  37  grain  load,  25  00  pounds. 

Conclusions: — From  the  above  experiments  I  consider 
Load  No.  18  the  best  cheap  load  that  can  be  obtained.  I  find 
that  the  Winchester  Nitro  Rival  gives  better  results  than  the 
Rival,  also  that  37  grains  gives  an  equal  pattern  and  better 
average  penetration  than  42  or  45  grains.  No.  S  shot,  as  with 
all  other  powders,  requires  more  wadding  than  No.  7  to  pro- 
duce equal  results.  A  card  under  the  shot  invariably  gives 
tbe  best  pattern.  Soft  wads  like  the  salmon  and  white  felt 
are  not  suitable  to  top  this  powder. 

The  range  in  all  these  experiments  was  the  same,  viz.,  35 
yards  for  pattern,  21  yards  for  penetration.  A  30-inch 
circle  used  for  pattern,  card  board  of  uniform  thickness,  placed 
half  an  ioch  apart  used  for  the  penetration  test. 

I  also  discovered  a  fact  of  interest  to  sportsmen,  viz.,  that 
tkegunlused  invariably  made  a  more  even  pattern  with 
1  1-8  oz- of  shot,  than  with  1|  oz.  Avalon.

Alameda  vs.  Country. 

The  match  between  the  Country  Club  and  the  Alameda 
County  Sportsmen's  Club  shot  at  Oakland  Race  Track  on 
the  19th  proved,  as  predicted,  very  interesting. 

The  Alameda  Club  won  by  six  birds  and  were  never  led  by 
their  opponents.  T.  R.  Barney  was  the  only  man  in  the  two 
teams  that  killed  his  fifteen  birds  straight.  F.  B.  Norton 
shot  unusally  well,  the  only  birds  that  he  lost,  the  fourth  and 
fourteenth  fell  dead  out  of  bounds.  W.  W.  Haskell  lost  fcis 
fourth  and  twelfth  from  the  same  cause.  A.  F.  Adams, 
though  in  the  seventies',  proved  his  ability  to  still  whip  the 
boys  by  killing  twelve,  his  second  escaping  through  the  acci- 
dental discharge  of  both  barrels.  L.  P.  Bolander's  tenth  and 
W.  E.  Mayhew'B  eighth  fell  dead  out  of  bounds.  S.  E. 
Knowles  shot  in  splendid  form  his  eighth  bird,  his  only  lost, 
fell  dead  out  of  boundB.  His  birds  were  killed  entirely  with 
the  first  barrel.  Tbe  team  only  missed  two  birds  out  of  the 
first  thirty  birds  and  only  six  out  of  the  first  fifty. 

The  Country  Club  team  shot  very  well  considering  the 
fact  that  they  were  shooting  an  uphill  race  from  start  to  fin- 
ish. Harry  Babcock,  one  of  the  very  best  shots  in  the  club, 
fell  down  unaccountably,  only  killing  eight  birds  where  every 
one  banked  on  his  killing  not  less  than  thirteen  or  fourteen. 
His  fourth  and  eleventh  fell  dead  out  of  bounds.  F.  W.  Tal- 
lant  shot  in  his  usual  good  form  at  first,  but  did  not  do  as 
well  at  the  latter  end  of  the  race.  His  tenth  fell  dead  out  of 
bounds.  A.  C.  Tubbs'  fourth,  W.  S.  Kittle's  thirteenth  and 
R.  A.  Eddy's  eighth  also  fell  dead  out  of  bounds. 

H.  B.  Houghton  scored  for  the  Alameda's,  Richard  Car- 
roll for  the  Country  Club,  A.  Russell  Crowell,  referee. 

The  rise  was  at  twenty-eight  yards  with  the  exception  of 
W.  W.  Haskell  who  used  a  ten-guage  gun  and  consequently 
was  handicapped  to  thirty  yards.  The  birds  averaged  fair.

The  Dove  Law. 


Capturing   an   Ibex. 


Taking  out  my  glass,  I  made  out  an  ibex  climDing  the 
cliff  and  another  on  the  face  of  a  rock,  at  the  base  of  which 
the  dogs  were  vehemently  baying  it.  It  was  only  a  female, 
and  G.,  who  got  up  to  it  first,  declined  to  6hoot,  but  climbed 
2,000  feet  higher  in  the  vain  hope  of  catching  sight  of  the 
other,  whicli  was  a  young  male.  When  I  approached  the 
dogs,  the  goat  had  placed  herself  where  it  seemed  impossible 
for  anythlug  but  a  fly  to  cling,  and  where  she  might  have 
safely  remained,  as  I  had  no  desire  to  annex  this  poor  little 
sad-colored  desert  nanny.  I  tried  to  stalk  near  enough  to 
kodak  the  group,  but  getting  a  glimpse  of  me,  she  sprang 
down,  and  the  dogs,  after  a  short  course  of  200  vards,  caught, 
her,  strange  to  say,  with  very  little  injury  to  skin  or  bone. 
She  was  heavy  in  kid,  or  she  would  have  quickly  shown  them 
her  heels. 

Our  Bedawi  was  close  np,  and  in  a  trice  had  tied  her  legs, 
while  I  fastened  a  handkerchief  over  her  eyes  to  prevent  her 
straggling.  The  females  of  this  species  [are  much  smaller 
than  rams,  and  we  had  no  difficulty  in  carrying  our  prisoner 
down  the  valley  to  the  spot  where  we  proposed  to  camp.  We 
proceded  to  sit  upon  her  fate.  I  should  have  liked  to  carry 
a  live  female  of  the  species  as  an  offering  to  the  Zoological 
Society.  On  the  other  hand,  the  creature  would  have  to 
spend  ten  days  in  a  bag,  on  the  back  of  a  camel,  ao  ordeal 
which  might  be  attended  with  inconvenience  to  us,  and  cer- 
tainly would  be,  under  the  circumstances,  to  the  lady  in 
question. 

Our  Luxor  attendant,  who  had  not  hitherto  eome  out  as  a 
linguist,  remarked  :  "  Next  week  him  make  little  boy."  That 
settled  the  point.  We  elected  to  give  her  her  liberty,  but  not 
without  protests  from  the  Arabs,  the  lawful  prey  of  whose 
bow  aod  spear  she  was,  and  who  strongly  objected  to  allow- 
ing good  meat  to  runaway.  We  waited  until  it  was  too  dark 
for  the  dogs  to  follow  her,  and  then  released  her.  She  skipped 
off  into  the  darkness  without  sign  of  hurt. — The  Nineteenth

ROD- 


Bright  Rod  Mountings. 


Mr.  H.  B.,  of  Worcester,  England,  writing  from  New 
York  City,  asks :  "  Can  you  kindly  inform  me  of  any  means 
to  dull  the  excessive  brilliancy  of  nickel-plated  goods  ?  I 
have  a  rod  the  fittings  of  which  are  nickel- plated,  also  a 
reel,  fully  plated ;  both  of  these  on  a  sunny  day  throw 
several  flashes  of  light  at  a  time,  which  frighten  the  fish  con- 
siderably. I  should  also  like  to  know  why  it  is  that  in 
this  country,  where  they  excel  in  the  making  of  rods,  reels 
and  lines,  it  is  almost  impossible  to  obtain  fine  (i.  e.t  thin) 
gut?  In  England  we  have  to  be  content  with  a  Castle  Con- 
nell  17s.  Gd.  rod,  or  a  £1  Is.  Ogden,  or  others  of  like  price, 
and  a  reel  costing  about  5s.,  bat  our  tackle  must  be  of  the 
best  qualitv.  and  fine.  Our  casts  are  made  of  fine  drawn  gut; 
The  undrawn  gut  is  stronger,  but  is  very  difficult  to  procure 
in  good  long  lengths,  and  round,  which  is  most  essential. 
These  casts  are  sufficiently  strong  to  land  a  31bs.  trout.  Most 
of;  our  flies  are  tied  on  eyed  hooks,  the  best  hooks  being 
1  Pennel's  turned  down  eye  upturned  shank,'  which  are  at- 
tached to  the  cast  by  what  is  known  as  the  *  jam  knot.1  With 
the  flies  tied  on  gut,  all  fishermen  knot  the  end  fly  to  the 
cast ;  this  necessicates  breaking  the  gut  to  change  the  fly, 
but  this  can  be  done  two  or  three  times  before  the  gut  be- 
comes as  short  as  that  on  the  average  fly  over  here,  after 
which  it  can  be  looped  anc  used  as  a  drop  fly.  '  Fine  and 
far  off  is  our  maxim.'  " 

In  the  first  place  we  are  not  so  particular  over  here  about 
flashing  rod  mountings  aB  the  fishermen  are  in  England,  and 
so  use  bright  reels,  ferules,  etc.;  and  really  I  think  fish  aae 
not,  as  a  rule,  in  a  position  lo  know  the  difference.  That  re- 
flections from  the  bright  metal  of  rods  and  reels  frighten  fish, 
I  put  down  in  the  same  class  as  that  antiquated  idea  that  one 
must  lower  the  tip  of  the  rod  when  a  hooked  fish  jumps  at  the 
end  of  a  long  line,  and  still  we  stick  to  it,  some  of  us,  as  if  it 
were  the  gospel  of  the  Christain  religion.  Nine  hundred  and 
ninety-nine  times  out  of  a  thousand  a  jumping  fish,  has  slack 
line  when  it  jumps  (by  slack  line  I  mean  that  the  strain  is 
not  directly  on  the  rod  ;  either  the  current  makes  a  sag  in 
the  line  or  the  fish  running  from  deep  water  produces  the 
same  result),  and  if  he  has  not,  the  slack  given  by  the  lowered 
tip  could  not  be  transmitted  to  the  fish  before  the  fish  has 
made  the  jump  and  is  back  in  the  water.  I  know  that  this 
will  be  received  as  rank  heresy,  but  so  far  as  I  have  been  able 
to  test  it  I  have  found  it  true. 

As  to  flashing  rods  and  rod  mountings,  there  are  various 
reasons  why  I  believe  fish  are  not  affected  by  them,  and  the 
chief  of  them  is  that  the  fish  do  not  see  the  reflections  on 
the  water.  In  fly-fishing  few  anglers  think  of  casting  a  fly 
under  a  glaring  sun  when  the  surface  of  the  water  is  like  a 
mirror,  unruffled,  and  our  streams  are  not  like  the  clear, 
placid,  unsheltered  chalk  streams  of  England.  In  fly-fishing 
and  "in  bait-Ashing,  in  stream  fishing  and  lake  fishing,  we 
think  we  must  have  a  ripple  on  the  surface  of  the  water,  and 
that  late  afternoon  and  evening  are  the  best  parts  of  the  day 
ta  fish.  In  fly-fishing  the  fly  is  cast,  under  these  conditions, 
sufficiently  far  away  and  in  a  direction  not  to  alarm  the  fish 
by  any  movement  of  the  angler.  Instinctively  an  angler 
avoids  casting  a  shadow  on  the  surface  of  a  shallow  stream, 
and  doubtless  this  caution  operates  against  flashes  of  light 
from  the  rod  metal,  for  light  and  shadow  are  caused  by  the 
same  agent. 

In  bait-fishing  the  same  conditions,  distance  and  agitated 
water,  obtain  to  the  same  end. 

Admitting  that  our  unsophisticated  trout  will  shy  at  a 
shadow  and  buck-jump  at  a  flash  from  a  reel,  anglers  have 
been  taught  from  the  time  they  were  suckling  babes  that  fish 
must  not  have  cause  to  do  either,  and  they  conduct  them- 
selves accordingly  from  habit,  but  I  am  being  led  away  from 
a  direct  answer  to  the  question. 

The  very  best  way  of  treating  reelB  and  bright  rod  mount- 
ings to  dim  their  lustre,  so  that  no  flashes  of  light  will  come 
from  them,  for  I  assume  that  the  desire  is  to  do  it  well  while 
about  it,  is  that  which  is  fully  described  by  Mr.  Henry  P. 
Wells  in  "  Fly-Rods  and  Fly-Tackle."  First,  get  a  glass  jar 
with  a  wide  mouth  and  glass  stopper,  and  the  mouth  muat  be 
wide  enough  to  admit  of  reel-plate,  and  the  jar  deep  enough 
to  take  a  rod  ferrule,  and  in  it  put  a  pound  of  commercial 
nitric  acid  ;  into  this  put  a  ten  cent  silver  piece  and  leave 
the  jar  in  a  warm  place  with  the  stopper  loose  until  the  silver 
is  dissolved.  Then  add  a  piece  of  copper  wire  the  size  of 
an  ordinary  knitting  needle  and  four  inches  long,  and  when 
it  is  dissolved  the  solution  is  ready  for  use. 

Clean  all  oil  from  the  metal  with  ammonia  or  soap  strong 
with  lye  ;  rinse  and  dry.  Fasten  the  metal  to  be  colored  to 
a  piece  of  copper  wire  and  the  wire  to  a  poker  and  dip  the 
metal  below  the  surface  of  the  solution  ;  withdraw  it  at  once 
and  heat  in  the  flame  of  an  alcohol  lamp.  Watch  the  piece 
carefully.  It  will  first  turn  green,  then  a  black  speck  or  two 
will  appear  on  the  surface  and  this  will  quickly  spread  until 
the  whole  surface  is  a  dull,  dead  black,  when  the  piece  should 
be  removed  from  the  heat.  The  change  takes  place  at  the 
temperature  at  which  tinman's  solder  melts,  and  hotter  than 
this  no  soldered  ferrule  should  be  heated,  lest  it  anneal  and 
lose  its  stiffness. 


It  may  be  cooled  at  once  in  water  or  allowed  to  cool  natur- 
ally. In  the  first  case  scrub  with  a  brush  while  the  metal  is 
wet,  and  in  the  second  scrub  with  a  brush  with  the  metal  dry, 
which  gives  the  best  results.  After  being  scrubbed  and' 
rubbed  with  a  dry  cloth  to  remove  any  remaining  crock  the 
metal  will  be  a  beautiful  soft  dead  black.  The  expense  will 
not  be  more  than  fifty  cents. 

This  is  the  finish  that  I  have  seen  on  rods  made  by  Forrest 
&  Son,  of  Kelso,  Scotland,  and  by  Malloch  of  Perth.  I  now 
have  one  of  Malloch's  rods  and  the  mountings  areas  black  as 
when  I  got  it,  five  or  six  years  ago. — A.  N.  Cheney  in  Forest 
and  Stream. 


Do  Fish  Show  Temper  ? 


A  fish  inquisitive  or  in  a  temper  is  undoubte  dly  an  absurd 
idea  at  first  sight;  but  the  absurdity  lessens  on  reflection.  All 
animals  of  whose  ways  we  have  intimate  knowledge  reveal 
the  emotions  which  the  fisherman  denies  to  fish.  For  ex- 
ample, children,  lambs,  young  tigers,  young  lions,  young  mon- 
keys, kittens  and  puppy  dogs  rush  at  things  which  attract 
their  eyes,  and  that  without  thought  of  eating  them  ;  and  if 
they  are  thwarted  or  injured  in  the  contact  they  are  apt  to 
rush  at  them  again  in  irritation.  If  then,  we  take  it  for 
granted  that  fish  are  incapable  of  curiosity  and  irritation,  we 
are  assuming  that  the  minds  of  fish  are  fundamentally  differ- 
ent from  those  of  all  living  creatures  with  whose  natures  we 
are  familiar. 

That,  when  one  thinks  of  it,  would  be  an  assump  tion  so 
great  as  to  be  impossible  of  acceptance  until  it  had  been  justi- 
fied by  the  clearest  reasoning.  No  reasoning  whatsoever  can 
be  offered  in  its  favor,  and  some  can  be  offered  against  it. 
We  have  no  authority  for  believiug  that  the  mental  char- 
acteristics of  fish  are  different  from  those  animals  generally. 
We  are  used  to  believing  this;  but  the  usage  is  unintelligent 
It  probably  springs  from  the  separation  of  sympathies  which 
comes  from  our  living  in  an  "element"  other  than  that  of 
the  salmon  and  the  trout.  If  we  ivere  amphibious,  we  should 
have  a  clearer  insight  into  their  ways,  and  perhaps  find  that 
both  fun  and  indignation  lurk,  at  times,  under  the  saturnine 
aspect  of  their  visages. 

As  it  is,  some  of  us  who  have  been  in  the  accidental  neigh- 
borhood of  a  shark  have  had  cause  to  realize  that,  even  as 
"  a  hungry  man  is  an  angry  man,"  a  hungry  fish,  when  an- 
noyed in  pursuit  of  his  meal,  is  angry,  too,  and  not  unwilling 
to  risk  his  skin  in  vindication  of  his  appetite  and  his  wrath. 
Besides,  all  fishermen,  to  their  sorrow,  know  that  there  are 
times  when  salmon  and  trout  rise  briskly,  but  "not  in  earn- 
est." 

Many  an  exasperating  hour  have  all  of  us  spent  with  fish 
who  give  our  flies  a  frequent  poke,  or  a  frequent  nibble  at  the 
tails  of  them,  and  escape  "untouched."  Many  a  time,  also, 
have  we  found  them  rising  at  the  fly,  not  with  their  mouths, 
but  with  their  tails,  seeking  to  flick  them  under  the  surface 
and  to  "drown"  them,  to  all  appearance  in  the  spirit  in 
which  a  cat  plays  with  a  mouse.  The  analogy  between  fish 
and  other  creatures  in  the  matter  of  curiosity  and  garrboling 
goes  even  further.  It  may  have  been  observed  that  it  was 
the  young  of  tigers,  and  cats,  and  dogs,  and  other  creatures, 
that  we  spoke  of  as  given  to  playing  with  things  that  attract 
their  eyes ;  not  the  elderly  animals  so  much.  Well,  fish  are 
in  exactly  the  same  case. — The  National  Review. 


A  Truthful  Fish  Story. 


Carp  have  become  so  plentiful  in  the  sloughs  along  the 
Columbia  that  fishermen  have  offered  to  supply  farmers  at 
Scappoose  with  any  desired  quantity  for  manure  at  $5  per 
ton.  No  one  can  with  justice  call  the  carp  a  worthless  fish 
after  that.  As  tending  to  show  how  numerous  the  carp  are 
in  places,  a  farmer  states  that  a  few  days  ago  he  was  crossing 
a  slough  with  a  lot  of  green  grass  in  his  cart.  The  grass  slid 
off  into  the  water,  and  the  carp  came  around  and  began  eat- 
ing it.  He  jumped  into  the  water  with  his  pitchfork  to  throw 
the  grass  back  on  his  cart,  and  a  regular  "  pitched"  battle 
took  place  between  him  and  the  carp  for  the  possession  of  it. 
The  carp  ran  against  his  legs  and  nearly  threw  him  down, 
but  he  worked  away  like  a  Trojan  and  managed  to  save  about 
half  of  the  grass,  and  with  it  pitched  about  half  a  ton  of  carp 
into  the  cart.  The  rest  of  the  grass  was  eaten  by  the  carp  he 
did  not  catch.  He  was  on  his  way  to  the  city,  and  the  grass 
was  intended  as  a  lunch  for  his  horses.  When  he  arrived  here 
the  carp  among  thewetgrass  were  all  alive  and  kicking,  and 
he  sold  the  lot  to  a  Chinese  fish  dealer  for  $2.50.  He  thinks 
of  repeating  the  experiment  the  next  time  he  goes  to  the 
city. 

* 

Mr.  C.  F.  Wayman  and  four  companions  have  invented  a 
new  way  of  catching  salmon.  While  plowing  the  troubled 
waters  of  Raccoon  Straits  on  a  short  trip  from  Tiburon  the 
other  night  in  their  steam  launch,  a  thirty-pound  salmon, 
doubtless  attracted  by  their  big  reflector,  jumped  aboard  and 
was  speedily  dispatched  by  a  blow  on  the  head.  They  have 
been  trolling  ever  since,  but  without  success. 


The  Fly  Casting  Club  officials  are  busy  trying  to  locate  a 
suitable  spot  for  the  monthly  fly  casting  events.  As  soon  as

C.  A.  Summer  announces  that  he  positively  will  not  serve 
as  Secretary  of  the  Southern  California  Kennel  Club  an- 
other year.  

Col.  Boone's  lion,  Paruell,  has  added  another  victim  to  his 
list  by  killing  the  Great  Daue  Nero  during  a  recent  perform-

Mr.  A.  H.  Gilmore,  proprietor  of  the  Ruby  Kennels,  Wor- 
cester-, Mass ,  changes  bis  advertisement  this  week.  He  ofiers 
a  brood  bitch  and  several  puppies  at  reasonable  prices. 

The  Pacific  Kennel  Club  have  supported  the  Oakland  Club 
with  a  large  uumber  of  entries,  proving  conclusively  that  they 
are  above  petty  jealousies.  At  the  next  show  of  the  Pacifies, 
the  Oakland  contingent  will  reciprocate. 

The  well-known  fox  terrier  breeder,  W.  H.  McFee,  has 
bought  out  Matt  Kerr  on  Leidesdorf  street,  this  city,  and  will 
be  pleased  to  see  his  many  friends  at  any  time.  Special  apart- 
ments will  be  partitioned  off,  and  the  place  otherwise  im- 
proved. 

E.  H.  Mulcasier  will  judge  the  Kenmore  Coursing  Club's 
meeting.  Ralph  Taylor  will  do  the  slipping,  at  Goodland, 
Kansas,  October  16.  Mr.  Mnlcaster  is  getting  exceedingly 
popular  as  a  coursingjudge.  He  will  also  judge  at  Huron, 
S.  0.,  Oakes,  N.  D.,  and  Leoti,  Kansas. 


We  have  had  the  pleasure  of  viewing,  through  the  kind- 
ness of  Mr.  Crittenden  Robinson,  the  best  photograph  of  a 
litter  of  pointer  puppies  that  we  ever  saw.  They  are  busy, 
very  busy,  gorging  themselves  from  the  contents  of  a  pan, 
their  tails  forming  the  five  points  of  a  star.  They  are  sons 
and  daughters  of  the  well-known  pointer  bitch  Gypsy  Queen, 
the  property  of  Capt.  Chas.  Aull,  the  Warden  at  Folsom. 

John  Davidson,  in  commenting  on  English  setters  at. 
Boston,  says:  "  Good  loin,  forearm,  legs  and  feet  can  be  easily 
found  on  a  mule,  but  the  head,  eye,  neck,  general  quality  and 
the  outline  of  a  Blue  Nell,  never.''  There  is  a  heap  of  sense 
in  the  above  remark.  How  few  of  our  local  fanciers  appre- 
ciate that  indescribable  term,  quality.  One  man  sees  it  at  a 
glance,  twenty  others  after  handling  dogs  a  life-time  never 
learn  the  meaning  of  the  word.  They  will  analyze  a  dog  and 
say  and  see,  good  feet,  good  front,  good  straight  bone,  good 
legs,  good  body,  good  shoulders,  good  loin,  good  head,  etc. 
Two  dogs  may  possess  all  of  these  qualities  and  yet  one  be  far 
in  advance  of  the  other,  from  having  a  better  carriage,  from 
the  muscular  conditions  being  such  that  the  form  is  well 
rounded  without  fat.  Two  dogs  may  measure  exactly  the 
same  in  length,  width  and  depth  of  muzzle,  depth  of  stop  and 
length,  breadth  aud  depth  of  skull  and  yet  one  head  may  ex- 
ceed the  other  twenty-  five  per  cent  in  quality  and  expression. 
The  different  parts  of  a  dog  may  be  perfect  and  yet  not  prop- 
erly put  together.  In  criticizing  the  awards  of  a  judge  these 
things  should  all  be  considered.

The  Little  Dog  Under  the  Wagon. 


"  Come,  wife."  said  good  old  farmer  Gray, 
"  Put  ou  your  things,  'tis  market  day— 
Aud  we'll  be  off  to  the  nearest  town. 
There  and  back  ere  the  sun  goes  down. 
Spot  '.'     No,  we'll  lenyenld  Spot  behind." 
But  Spot  he  barked  aud  Spot  he  whined, 
And  soon  made  up  bis  doggish  mind 
To  follow  under  the  wagon. 

Awiiy  they  went  at  a  good  round  paee, 
And  joy  came  into  the  farmer's  face;

But  I'm  awful  glad  he's  left  at  home  ; 
He'll  u'nard  the  ham,  and  guard  the  cot, 
And  keep  the  cattle  out  of  the  lot.

A   Tale    of   a   Dog-. 


The  more  intimate  the  association  of  the  dog  with  man 
the  greater  his  intelligence;  and  many  dogs  have  given  indis- 
putable evidence  of  understanding  every  word  uttered  in 
their  presence.  "  Jack,"  an  Irish  setter,  whose  home  is  in 
Maryland,  has  the  regular  duty  of  bringing  the  mail  from 
the  letter-box  at  the  gate,  the  house  standing  well  back  from 
the  road.  His  family  were  anticipating  a  two  weeks'  visit  to 
New  York,  and  proposed  sending  Jack  to  the  country  during 
their  absence.  Jack's  wishes  in  the  matter  were  not  con- 
sulted, and  he  was  not  invited  to  take  part  in  the  discussion  ; 
but  that  he  listened  was  proved  by  his  actions.  It  was  de- 
cided to  start  on  Tuesday  evening,  provided  a  letter  were  re- 
ceived by  the  morning's  mail.  It  did  not  come,  however,  nor 
iu  the  afternoon,  when  Jack  brought  up  a  whole  batch  ;  and 
to  his  satisfaction  no  one  left  home.  Several  days  passed, 
then  a  telegram  came  inquiring  what  was  the  matter  ;  an  ex- 
change of  letters  disclosed  the  fact  that  the  promised  letter 
was  written  and  should  have  been  received  when  expected. 
A  search,  into  which  Jack  was  impressed  much  against  his 
will,  discovered  the  missing  letter  bidden  in  a  hen-coop,  and 
it  bore  unmistakable  evidence  that  Jack  had  placed  it  there. 

Now  it  is  not  to  be  supposed  that  Jaok  could  read  or  dis- 
tinguish handwriting,  so  his  keen  nose  must  have  recognized 
the  writer,  who  was  a  frequent  visitor,  of  whom  he  was  very 
fond  ;  but  only  from  listening  to  the  talk  could  he  have  con- 
nected that  person  with  the  plans  for  departure.  This  is  the 
only  instance  of  Jack's  ever  betraying  a  trust;  but  the 
sagacity  evinced  was  so  great  that  the  confidence  in  him  was 
increased,  instead  of  lessened  by  it. — Demorest's  Magazine. 

Type  and  Field  Trial  Dogs. 

When  so  lucid,  experienced  and  courteous  a  writer  as  Mr. 
W.  W.  Titus  says  anything,  you  may  feel  assured  it  is  based 
on  knowledge  and  solid  sense,  yet  I  must  disagree  with  his 
conclusions  and  definition  of  "type"  as  applied  to  dogs. 
Type,  as  I  understand  it,  is  identical  with  "standard,"  and  if 
breeders  do  not  adhere  to  some  recognized  type  or  standard, 
our  beautifully-formed  setters  and  pointers  will  assuredly  lose 
the  characteristics  which  have  made  them  so  much  admired. 
The  plan  of  making  a  standard  to  fit  certain  monstrosities 
which  are  very  feeble  apologies  of  the  breeds  they  were  named 
after,  has  proved  a  lamentable  failure.  Mr.  Titus  says  that 
good  dogs,  like  good  horses  come  in  all  sorts  of  forms.  This 
may  be  true  in  a  few  cases,  but  let  Mr.  Titus  recall  the  best 
dogs  and  horses  that  the  world  has  produced,  and  I  think  he 
will  admit  that  a  large  majority  were  typical  specimens  of 
their  breeds.  My  contention, therefore,  is  that  breeders  must 
have  a  "  standard  "  or  "  type  "  to  breed  to,  or  we  may  as  well 
do  away  with  names  of  breeds  and  just  call  them  dogs.  I 
not  only  disagree  with  Mr.  Titus  in  his  opinion  on  type,  but 
on  his  ideas  of  what  constitutes  a  field  dog.  He  says  he  in- 
tends running  some  "  shooting  dogs  "  at  the  Eastern  trials. 

Will  some  one  tell  me  the  difference  between  a  "shooting" 
dog  and  a  field  trial  dog?  My  own  idea  has  always  been, and 
is,  that  the  best  field  trial  dog  is  the  most  perfect  dog  to  shoot 
over.  Assuming  which  I  infer  that  the  dogs  Mr.  Titus  in- 
tends running,  in  this  particular  stake,  are  dogs  uot  quite 
good  enough  to  win  an  open  all-aged  stake.  Are  there  any 
rules  to  prevent  any  other  handler  from  entering  any  dog 
be  pleases?  How  will  the  judges  draw  the  line  between  the 
shooting  dog  and  the  A  1  field  trial  dog?  Mr.  Handler  No. 
2  may  enter  and  further  will  enter,  and  I  would  wager  long 
odds  that  Mr.  Shooting  dog  of  No.  2  quality  gets  left. 

But  whisper,  is  not  this  stake  inaugurated  by  the  Eastern 
Field  Trials  Club  because  they  have  come  to  recognize  that 
the  bolter  and  self-hunter,  which  they  so  much  encouraged  a 
few  years  ago,  are  neither  shooting  dogs  nor  field  trial  dogs? 
A  personal  experience  at  their  trials  proved  ttiat  I  was  all 
astray  auto  what  I  had  in  my  simplicity  imagined  should 
constitute  the  A  1  field  trial  dog,  viz..,  a  fast,  snappy,  brainy, 
industrious,  well  broken  bird  tinder,  that  worked  to  the  gun. 
The  dog  to  win,  and  which  did  win,  was  the  one  that  kept 
the  judges  busy  hunting  the  dog;  but  the  most  farcical  por- 
tion of  the  trials  was  that  after  reading  the  rules  "to  give 
greater  credit  to  the  dog  that  works  promptly  without  noise," 
etc.)  run!  immediately  the  dogs  are  cast  off,  the  handlers  re- 
minded me  of  boys  who  give  a  tin  whistle  imitation  of  how 
an  Oregon  life  and  drum  band  start  on  the  4th  of  July. 

I  said  to  one  of  niv  confreres :  "  For  goodness  sake,  do  not 
permit  that  perpe'u:il  toot,  tootl" 

"  Why,  yes,"  he  said,  "that's  the  way  the  dogs  are  trained 
'to  keep  out  at  their  work.'" 

I  suggested  that  the  handlers  should  hang  a  few  cow  bells 


to  their  belts,  which  would  not  probably  make  as  much  noise, 
but  would  save  considerable  wind.  But,  pshaw  !  no  one 
knows  better  than  Mr.  Titus  that  the  dog  that  should  win  a 
field  trial  is  the  beau  ideal  perfect  shooting  dog. 

Mr.  P.  H.  Bryson  says  that  breeders  of  high-class  English 
setters  are  much  agitated  to  know  how  certain  named  sires 
are  to  be  replaced,  With  a  majority  of  American  breeders 
that  is  no  doubt  correct,  but  the  question  that  does  not 
receive  its  meed  of  thought,  but  which  to  my  mind  is  of  par- 
amount importance,  is :  Are  we  not  paying  too  much  thought 
to  over-studded  sires  at  the  expense  of  good  dams?  I  frankly 
admit  that  the  sires  he  mentions  have  reproduced  themselves 
in  numbers  of  instances.  Yet  I  venture  the  assertion  that 
much  of  the  credit  given  the  share  was  due  to  the  dam,  who 
is  rarely  given  her  share  of  credit.  There  are  few  sires  that 
have  stamped  all  their  progeny  with  their  own  excellence. 
Yet  I  could  enumerate  numbers  of  dams  that  are  so  entitled, 
whose  names  are  lost  in  obscurity. 

To  mention  dogs  in  which  my  own  kennels  is  closely  iden- 
tified would  leave  me  open  to  the  charge,  which  is  only  too 
true  and  too  prevalent,  of  free  kennel  advertising,  so  that  in 
mentioning  one  case  of  a  most  remarkable  character  and  of  a 
dam  which  nearly  every  dog  of  note  in  America  traces  back 
to,  Ishall  free  myself  from  any  aspersions  of  that  nature.  The 
one  T  allude  to  is  the  late  Mr.  Thos.  Statter's  Rhcebe  (1537 
E.  K.  S.  B.).  To  the  uninitiated  a  record  of  a  portion  of  the 
progeny  of  this  marvelous  matron  may  be  interesting.  Bruce, 
by  Dash — Rhcebe,  wot  the  champion  cup  at  Shrewsbury  in 
1870.  Dan,  by  Duke — Khcebe,  won  the  same  stake  in  1871. 
Rob  Roy,  by  Fred — Rhcebe.  repeated  in  1872.  and  Daisy,  by 
Dash  II. — Rhcebe,  capped  the  climax  in  '73.  Thus  her 
progeny,  by  different  sires,  won  for  the  fourth  consecutive 
year  that  much-coveted  trophy.  This  remarkable  record  was 
repeated  in  the  Shrewsbury  Stakes  four  years  in  succession. 
One  winner  was  sired  by  Dash,  one  by  Duke  and  three  by 
Fred  II.,  the  five  being  accounted  for  by  two  of  the  latter^ 
get  being  equal  first  and  second  in  1873.  Her  most  noted 
progeny,  and  all  field  trial  winners  were  Bruce,  Dan,  Rap, 
Rob  Boy,  Rock,  Rake,  Dora,  Daisy,  Die,  Darling,  Rose  and 
Ruby  and  her  progeny  in  the  second  generation  are  legion. 

One  of  the  greatest  proofs,  to  my  mind,  that  the  excellent 
field  qualities  of  this  noted  strain  were  transmitted  from 
Rhcebe  lies  in  the  fact  that  when  bred  to  that  handsome  duffer, 
Prince,  who,  when  Mr.  Llewellyn  ran  him  at  Devon  in  1873, 
could  not  go  fast  enough  to  make  his  tongue  moist,  yet  this 
breeding  to  a  dog  of  Prince's  noted  mediocrity,  produced, 
among  others,  Mr.  Arnold  Burges's  Druid  and  Mr.  Luther 
Adams'  Drake  and  Duke,  and  they  in  turn  have  scores  of 
descendants  that  have  never  been  excelled  as  field  dogs.  The 
photo  of  Rhoebe,  in  my  possession,  taken  from  the  original 
in  the  possession  of  the  late  Mr.  Statter's  family,  shows  her 
to  be  about  two-thirds  black,  balance  white,  with  tan  mark- 
ings. The  tan  markings  were  claimed  to  come  from  her  al- 
leged cross  on  the  Gordon  setter,  through  her  sire  Rake, 
whose  great-grandsire  was  Mr.  Fred  Burdette's  Brougham. 
This  illusion  was,  no  doubt,  in  consequence  of  Brougham  be- 
ing erroneously  registered  in  the  first  volume  of  the  English 
Kennel  Stud  Book  under  the  heading  of  black  and  tan  set- 
ters. The  proof  of  this  inaccuracy  is  in  the  fact  that 
Brougham  won  first  prize  for  best  English  setter  at  the  Bir- 
mingham show  in  1859.  I  hope  Messrs.  Titus  and  Bryaon  will 
give  me  credit  for  sincerity,  when  I  say  their  names  are  not 
used  in  a  spirit  of  antagonism,  hut  with  the  most  kind  and 
fraternal  feeling. 

I  always  have,  and  hope  I  always  shall  take,  a  keen  inter- 
est in  the  pleasurable  study  of  dog  breeding,  and  in  an  en- 
deavor practically  to  improve  the  setter  and  pointer;  aud, 
while  I  admit  that  I  would  sacrifice  type  for  field  ability,  yet 
the  two  are  essentials,  one  and  inseparable.  I  only  hope  that 
those  who  do  not  give  a  button  will  be  charitable  enough  to 
accord  her  that  which  the  only  saying  says  even  his  sataoic 
majesty  should  be  credited  with — viz.,  her  due. — Thomas 
Johnson,  in  Forest  and  Stream,  Winnipeg,  Man. 

Mares  that  are  producers  or  from  producing  dams  are 
what  most  breeders  are  trying  to  secure.  Such  animals, 
when  good  individuals,  command  high  prices.  Most  of 
them  are  out  of  reach  of  the  breeder  of  moderate  means.  Such 
breeders  need  not  be  discouraged,  however,  for  there  are 
plenty  of  first-class  mares  which  possess  all  the  qualities  of 
these  great  producing  dams  that  can  be  bought  at  fair  prices, 
and  many  of  them  are  liable  to  prove  even  better  broodmares 
than  some  of  the  daughters  of  these  famous  dams.  Neither 
Green  Mountain  Maid,  Alma  Mater,  Miss  Russell,  Emeline, 
Primrose,  nor  in  fact,  a  majority  of  the  most  famous  animals 
in  the  great  broodmare  list,  were  from  dams  that  were  them- 
selves in  the  great  broodmwe  list,  or  had  even  produced  a 
single  2:30  performer.  They  had  qualities,  however,  which 
enabled  tbem  to  impart  speed  capacity  to  their  offspring.  So 
have  hundreds  of  other  young  mares  that  have  not  yet  pro- 
duced a  2:30  trotter  and  can  be  bought  at  fair  prices.  There 
were  but  few  great  producing  dams  among  the  broodmares 
that  the  late  Senator  Stanford  and  the  present  C.  J.  Hamlin 
selected  for  their  fouudation  stock,  yet  these  two  gentlemen 
have  bred  a  greater  number  of  extremely  fast  trotters  than

NATIONAL  TROTTING  ASSOCIATION. 

Editor  Bheedee  and  Spobtsman  :— I  am  in  receipt  of  the  follow- 
ing; resolution  passed  by  the  Board  of  Review  of  the  National  Trot- 
ting Association  at  Chicago,  at  their  last  meeting : 

"  Chicago,  May  11, 189-1. 
N.  T.  Smith,  San  Francisco— 

To  the  Pacific  District  Board  is  hereby  delegated  authority  to  try 
all  cases  aiising  in  said  district,  subject  to  the  right  of  any  party  to 
appeal  from  its  judgmeuts  to  this  Board.  Associate  members  in  said 
district  are  required  to  report  all  fines,  suspensions  or  other  penalties 
imposed  by  them  to  tbe  chairman  or  secretary  of  said  Board,  for  im- 
mediate notification  to  all  other  members  in  said  district  andtothe 
secretary  of  this  association.  Said  Board  may  meet  at  will  and  trans- 
act any  business  within  the  scope  of  iis  authority,  after  due  notice 
to  parties  directly  interested  in  its  proceedings.    Signed 

M.  M.  Morse,  Sec'y." 

This  action  by  the  National  Trotting  Association  establishes  on  the 
Pacific  Coast  a  department  with  full  aod  complete  authority  to  try 
and  decide  all  cases,  with  the  rieht  of  an  appeal  to  a  Superior  Court 
of  an  established  reputation  4nd  natioual  character.removed  from  local 
influence  or  sectional  prejudice. 

With  this  concession  to  the  Pacific  Coast,  there  can  be  no  good 
reason  for  the  existence  of  the  Occidental  Trotting  Association,  as  all 
business  could  be  transacted  as  expeditiously  by  the  District  Board 
as  by  the  proposed  new  association. 

Tbe  members  of  a  national  or  central  association  will  have  the 
protection  and  support  of  an  organization  of  longstanding  and  es- 
tablished reputation,  and  will  be  in  harmony  with  the  trotting  aod 
breeding  interests  of  the  whole  country,  the  value  of  which  cannot  be 
overestimated  by  those  who  are  raising  horses,  either  for  the  market 
or  raising  purposes. 

It  is  to  be  hoped  that  the  district  members  of  the  Pacific  Coast  will 
cordially  give  this  actiou  their  endorsement  and  support,  thereby 
promoting  that  unity  which  is  necessary  to  strength  and  sucbess. 

Yours  truly,  N.  T.  Smith. 

The  above  appeared  in  this  paper  last  week  and  I  republish 
it  in  this  department  in  order  that  my  readers  can  have  both 
sides  of  the  question  before  them. 

As  to  the  action  of  the  Board  of  Review  it  is  a  clear-cut 
recommendation  to  break  the  laws.  That  body  has  no  more 
power  to  ignore  the  By-Laws  and  rules  than  a  man  has  to 
trot  a  horse  io  a  slower  cla3s  than  its  record  entails.  When 
it  directs  "associated  members  to  report  all  fines,  suspensions 
or  other  penalties  imposed  by  them  to  the  chairman  or  secre- 
tary of  said  Board  ;  it  is  in  violation  of  laws  which  order  a 
different  course.  This  is  so  plainly  and  clearly  apparent  to 
any  one  who  has  a  copy  of  the  By-Laws,  etc,"  in  force  after 
February  4,  1894,  that  I  will  not  so  far  underrate  the  in- 
telligence of  my  readers  as  to  offer  arguments  on  the  poiot. 

Inasmuch  as  none  of  the  papers  which  I  receive  had  the 
above  resolution  embodied  in  their  reports  of  the  proceeding 
of  the  Board,  though  complete  in  the  other  details,  it  was 
evident  that  there  were  misgivings  as  to  the  propriety  of 
making  it  public.  The  question  would  naturally  arise :  Why 
grant  a  right  to  one  section  that  is  denied  another?  Why 
should  the  Western  District  be  compelled  to  communicate 
with  the  Secretary  at  Hartford,  Connecticut,  when  the  mem- 
bers of  the  Board  reside  in  Cedar  Rapids,  Iowa,  the  home  of 
the  Chairman,  Chicago,  Illinois,  and, Milwaukee,  Wisconsin. 

The  right  of  appeal  is  not  taken  away,  and  this  may  have 
been  done  for  the  purpose  of  attracting  attention  from  a 
violation  equally  contrary  to  law. 

Captain  Smith  makes  a  point  in  his  first  paragraph  over 
this  concession  which  is  anything  but  well  taken.  One  of  the 
verdicts  of  that  ''Superior  Court,"  of  a  little  more  than  a 
year  ago,  he  denounced  in  as  violent  language  as  his  vocabu- 
lary supplied,  and  though  it  was  in  harmony  with  a  decision 
in  the  Stanford  Stake  of  18S4,  I  did  not  think  it  equitable, 
and  entered  a  protest  against  the  award.  I  cannot  agree  with 
Captain  Smith  that  a  court  three  thousand  miles  away,  even 
though  it  be  "removed  from  local  influence  or  sectional 
prejudice."  is  better  than  a  home  tribunal.  "  Big  corpora- 
tions" have  been  accused  of  having  courts  and  judges  in 
their  pay,  and  even  so  high  and  august  a  convocation  as  the 
Congress  of  these  United  States  has  been  charged  with  being 
manipulated  in  the  interests  of  the  great  and  wealthy  com- 
panies, bnt  in  anything  that  is  likely  to  arise  in  tbe  settle- 
ment of  trotting  and  pacing  disputes,  a  litigant  who  dare  not 
trust  hi6  neighbors  would  virtually  acknowledge  the  weak- 
ness of  his  case. 

The  second  paragraph  in  Captain  Smith's  communication 
begs  tbe  question.  According  to  his  own  showing  a  final  set- 
tlement can  only  be  obtained  in  tbe  Superior  Court.  A  breach 
of  law  is  the  only  ground  for  expediting  any  part  of  the  busi- 
ness. 

The  third  paragraph  is  comical  in  the  light  of  past  occur- 
rences. The  protection  obtained  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A. 
was  in  the  shape  of  a  fine  of  $500,  which  went  into  the  coffers 
of  an  "organization  of  long  standing  "  in  place  of  a  sentence 
of  expulsion  which  was  so  richly  deserved  that  it  is  impossi- 
ble to  cite  an  instance  when  crime  was  more  apparent. 

The  N.  T.  A.  is  no  more  io  "  harmony  with  the  trotting 
and  breeding  interests  of  the  whole  country  "  than  tbe  A.  T. 
A.  in  point  of  fact  not  so  much  so,  as  the  last  named  has 
eight  hundred  and  odd  numbers  to  five  hundred  and  odd  in 
the  N.  T.  A.  Any  association  composed  of  representative 
citizens  in  any  section  of  the  country,  will  wield  as  much  in- 
fluence as  any  other  body  of  men  in  promoting  the  welfare 
of  owners  and  breeders. 

Tho  most  idle  talk,  the  silliest  balderdash  has  been  offered 
to  sustain  that  allegation,  supremely  nonsensical  to  people 
who  have  a  fair  knowledge  of  trotting  affairs,  but  stiii  mis- 
chievous in  the  way  of  misleading  people  who  are  nof  famil- 
iar with  the  laws  and  usages  of  harness  races. 

"  Protection  and  support !  Pshaw  !  Is  this  great  country 
so  weak  that  it  has  yet  to  be  kept  in  leading  strings  ?  Has 
the  people  who  fought  their  way  over  mountain  and  desert 
become  so  helpless  as  to  need  the  protection  of  a  Connecticut 
company  ?  Has  the  race  degenerated  to  such  a  degree,  as  to 
be  incapable  of  self-government  ?  Has  the  soil  of  the  Pacific 
Coast  been  so  favorable  for  the  growth  of  lotus,  and  its  native 
sons  so  addicted  to  the  use  of  the  plant  that  heart  and 
nerve  have  succumbed  to  its  iufluence  unfitting  them  for  the 
arduous  duties  of  managing  trotting  affairs? 

Protection  and  support  forsooth  !  I  have  alluded  to  the 
protection  in  tbe  past,  and  what  guarantee  is  there  for  any- 
thing better  in  the  future?  Easy  to  guard  against  an  influx 
of  rascals  expelled  from  Eastern  tracks  by  recognizing  the 
penalties  inflicted  elsewhere.  The  American  Turf  Congress 
took  care  that  trotting  Ishmaelites  should  not  pollute  their 
race  courses  with  their  presence  without  asking  for  recipro- 
city, and  the  Occidental  has  done  the  same.,  going  still  fur- 
ther than  the  N.  T.  A.  and  A.  T.  A.  by  not  permitting  a  de- 
linquent to  the  members  of  either  association  to  start  on  a 
track  under  itsjurisdiction  until  the  indebtedness  is  liquidated. 
Easy  enough  to  protect  ourselves  under  the  new  dispensation, 


under  the  old  a  malefactor  who  could  pay  a  swinging  fine, 
five  hundred  dollars  or  more,  was  practically  granted  im- 
munity for  the  highest  crime  in  the  trotting  codes.  I  should 
not  have  pressed  that  argument  into  such  prominence  had  it 
not  been  forced  upon  me  by  the  tactics  of  those  who  oppose 
the  Occidental.  Even  now  some  of  the  reprehensible  features 
are  not  presented  it  beine  sufficient  to  state  that  the  Pacific 
Board  secured  the  reversal  of  a  sentence  of  expulsion  which 
followed  a  most  flagrant  attempt  to  throw  a  race.  Had  the 
condonation  been  an  act  of  mercy  it  could  have  been  passed. 
By  imj.osing  a  fine  of  five  hundred  the  justice  of  the  original 
sentence  was  conceded.  There  were  no  estenuating  circum- 
stances to  justify  tbe  lighter  penalty,  and  that  must  have 
been  apparent,  as  the  trial  by  the  Pacific  Board  was  held 
without  any  notice  to  the  association  which  ostracized  tbe 
criminal. 

Protection  and  Support !  What  a  farce  I  Who  is  there  so 
dull  of  understanding  as  to  be  misled  by  such  a  misapplica- 
tion of  words  ?  A  good  thing  for  the  treasury  of  the  N.  T. 
A.  Presto  change  !  when  a  sentence  of  great  moral  force  was 
transformed  into  five  hundred  dollars  in  gold,  and  that  means 
a  good  deal  when  Gold  is  not  only  King,  but  Czar,  Kaiser, 
Emperor  of  all  Metah.  Especially  when  California  was  on 
the  debit  page  of  the  ledger,  and  the  Lord  High  Treasurer 
had  taunted  us  with  our  beggarly  situation.  Put  it  in  print 
that  these  kickers  of  the  Occident  were  an  ungrateful  set 
of  dogs  that  growled  and  showed  their  teeth  after  all  the  sops 
and  bones  had  been  thrown  to  them.  That  was  support  it  is 
true,  and  so  I  am  constrained  to  admit  that 
California  has  been  supported  by  the  N.  T.  A.  through  it 
will  be  nearer  the  truth  to  say  Californians  have  been  re- 
cipients of  tbe  bounty  which  is  made  tbe  subject  of  a 
sermon. 

Still  I  will  liok  the  words,  protection  and  support  with  the 
change  that  the  support  heretofore  extended  was  unsought  by 
a  large  majority  of  the  trotting  folk  of  the  Pacific  Coast,  and 
that  an  "  overwhelming  majority  "  of  breeders  and  owners  are 
in  favor  of  independence. 

Independence  in  truth, neither  soliciting  protection  or  sup- 
port from  "an  organization  of  long  standing "  when  so 
abundantly  able  to  protect  and  support  their  own  interest. 

Now  the  last  paragraph  of  Captain  Smith's  communication 
is  directed  to  a  more  contracted  circle,  in  point  of  numbers, 
thoueh  it  is  more  potent  on  this  question  from  one  point  of 
view  than  owners  and  drivers.  Captain  Smith  calls  them  the 
"  district  members  of  the  Pacific  Coast,"  and  by  that  I  suppose 
he  means  tbe  association  and  track  proprietors  who  hold 
membership  in  the  National  within  the  bounds  of  the  Pacific 
District.  He  hopes  that  this  force  "  will  cordially  give  this 
action  their  endorsement  and  support,  thereby  promoting  the 
unity  which  is  necessary  to  strength  and  success." 

Well,  I  am  pleased  to  learn  that  he  recognizes  that  the  N. 
T.  A.  is  not  entirely  the  liberal  patron  which  its  treasurer 
claimed,  and  that  California  associations  are  not  mere  recipi- 
ents of  the  charity  of  the  N.  T.  A.  Hope,  too,  is  a  mild  word, 
and  looks  better  in  print  than  command,  which  was  the  tenor 

of  a  conversation  I  held  with  Captain  S on  the  night  the 

Occidental  was  organized.  There  were  threats  that  entries 
would  be  withheld  by  the  largest  trotting  stable  on  the  coast 
if  the  organization  were  perfected,  and  since  then  these 
threats  have  been  repeated.  "  It  is  to  be  hoped  "  is  a  phrase 
which  is  smooth  as  need  be,  and  were  there  nothing  more 
than  these  five  very  small  words  to  be  seen  there  would  be 
no  opportunity  for  criticism.  Oftentimes  there  are  expressed 
hopes  which  are  sure  to  end  in  fruition,  and  should  there  be 
failure  to  realize  on  the  prayer  there  i6  trouble  in  the  camp. 
But  it  would  appear  to  be  rather  a  small  way  of  carrying  a 
point  such  as  this  when  the  whole  ponderous  machinery,  with 
capacity  enough  to  shake  a  continent,  was  set  in  motion  to 
effect  the  purpose.  And  still  more  singular  of  that  force 
could  be  made  effective  when  the  purpose  is  known. 

But  hoped,  implying  a  good  deal  more  than  the  meaning 
of  the  word,  and  threats  to  injure  the  meetings  which  are 
held  under  the  Occidental,  either  by  withholding  entries  or 
working  against  it  has  come  too  late  to  effect  the  purpose. 
The  organization  has  been  perfected,  By-laws  adopted,  and  a 
code  of  rules  formulated  for  the  season.  Enough  associations 
have  made  application  for  membership  to  insure  its  success, 
and  the  only  possible  chance  for  Captain  Smith's  hopes  to  be 
gratified  is  that  the  officers  of  the  Occidental  will  prove  rec- 
reant to  the  trust  confided  to  them,  and  surrender  the  ship, 
which  has  not  an  unsound  plank  in  its  hull,  a  spar  gone,  or 
rent  in  a  sail. 

ThiB  does  not  appear  to  be  within  the  range  of  probability, 
in  fact,  scarcely  possible,  and  should  it  prove  that  it  is  another 
instance  of  the  unexpected  happening  sometimes,  can  be 
ascribed  to  weak  heart,  weak  knees,  weakness  in  every  part 
of  the  body,  supposed  to  be  virile  and  without  ailmentof  any 
kind. 

But  all  the  inuendoes  and  hints  that  tbe  officers  of  the  Oc- 
cidental were  ready  to  abandon  the  project,  may  have  been 
disseminated  for  the  purpose  of  retarding  applications  for 
membership,  and  in  this  have  been  partially  successful. 

But  as  stated  before  there  are  enough  on  the  rolls  now  to 
ensure  success,  and  there  is  another  point  which  must  not  be 
overlooked  should  this  new  Board  of  Appeals  attempt  to 
carry  out  the  plans  which  the  Board  of  Review  has  formula- 
ted. That  is  the  increased  expense.  If  my  memory  be  cor- 
rect the  statement  of  Treasurer  Powers,  which  J.  H.  Steiner 
read  before  tbe  convention  which  organized  the  Occidental, 
the  Pacific  Board  only  cost  the  N.  T.  A.  $150— the  other 
debits  being  payment  of  expenses,  etc  ,  for  Pacific  member  of 
the  Board.  With  all  the  work  which  will  come  before  the 
Board  under  the  new  dispensation,  $150  will  only  be  a  star- 
ter and  with  most  of  the  members  lost,  the  charity  account 
of  Mr.  Powers  will  be  greatly  increased. 

Tbe  Board  must  be  in  session  all  of  the  time,  at  least  its 
secretary  ready  to  attend  to  the  duties  which  the  Board  of 
Review  has  allotted.  All  entry  money,  fines,  etc.,  must  be 
reported  to  chairman  or  secretary  for  immediate  notification 
to  other  members,  so  that  notices  sent  directly  from  one  As- 
sociation to  another  will  not  be  valid.  Apart  from  being  "an 
accessory  before  the  fact "  to  breaking  the  law  the  Board  of 
Review  has  not  shown  any  great  aptitude  for  overcoming  the 
difficulty.  Apart  of  page  16  "official  report  is:"  "The 
president  made  an  elaborate  report  of  a  recent  visit  made  by 
him  to  tbe  Pacific  District  in  the  interest  of  the  association 
and  members  and  upon  his  recommendation  the  Board  adop- 
ted the  following  order"  The  order  alluded  to  is  the  one 
copied  above. 

When  President  Jobostone  waB  here  I  told  him  of  a  move 
much  of  exactly  the  same  character  under  the  presidency  of 
Judge  Grant,  only  in  place  of  giviDg  the  District  Board  the 
power  the  members  of  it  were  called  referees.  Even  with 
that    compliance    to    give  it  a  look    of  legality,  there  was 


not  a  turf  paper  in  the  country  which  did  not  condemn  the 
breach  of  law,  and  Judge  Grant  himself  in  a  reply  to  my 
letter  requesting  his  opinion  as  a  lawyer,  only  justified  it  on 
the  ground  that  he  supposed  it  was  the  unanimous  desire  of 
the  people  here.  President  Johnstone  did  not  justify  the 
action  of"  his  predecessor  in  his  conversation  with  me,  and  I 
have  not  the  least  doubt  that  he  will  agree  that  the  Board  of 
Review  exceeded  its  powar  when  in  compliance  with  his 
recommendation  it  adopted  the  order.  But  then  President 
Johnstone  can  fall  back  on  the  plea  that  it  is  a  very  small 
body,  if  it  is  of  size  enough  to  set  Captain  Smith  in  ecstacies 
over  its  birth. 

Not  only  an  off-color  embryo,  but  in  all  probability  it  will 
not  be  long  until  no  one  can  be  found  to  accept  the  honor  of 
godfathership.  The  Board  of  Review,  powerful  though  it  is, 
can  not  afford  to  countenance  a  palpable  infringement  of  the 
law.  Expediency  is  a  poor  argument  in  a  case  of  this  kind, 
and  even  though  it  had  served  the  purpose  intended,  a  verv 
short  trial  will  expose  its  inherent  weakness.  Whether  with 
the  few  members  which  are  left  to  the  N.  T.  A.,  the  project 
will  be  carried  through  or  not  cannot  be  foretold.  The 
"  Board  of  Referees  "  never  tried  a  single  case  according  to 
my  recollection,  "  died-a-borning."  This  attempt  at  resusci- 
tation may  galvanize  it  into  a  short  life  and  even  that  is 
doubtful.  The  last  big  trump  played  and  not  a  single  trick 
gained  is  so  thoroughly  discouraging  that  my  sympathies — 
always  inclined  to  the  weaker  side— are  enlisted,  and  bad  it 
not  been  for  the  peculiar  tactics  employed  by  the  defeated 
should  have  felt  a  good  deal  of  commiseration. 

When  the  Spirit  of  tbe  Times  came  I  saw  that  the  last 
sheet  of  the  "official  report"  was  also  embodied  in  the  doingb 
of  the  Board  of  Review.  Why  it  did  not  find  a  place  in  the 
reports  of  the  Chicago  papers  is  still  a  mystery.  That  in 
Clark's  Horse  Review  was  probably  published  before  the 
meeting  came  to  a  close,  and  it  may  be  that  The  Horseman's 
account  was  faulty  from  the  same  cause. 

That  the  passing  of  the  "order"  was  the  most  important 
part  of  the  proceedings  from  a  newspaper  standpoint  is  be- 
yond question,  and  when  the  intellgence  came  to  Captain 
Smith,  without  having  been  seen  in  the  Chicago  papers,  my 
first  impression  was  that  it  had  not  been  made  generally  pub- 
lic 

There  is  another  point  in  Captain  Smith's  statement  and 
accepted  in  the  Sa  n  Francisco  Chronicle  as  the  basis  of  this 
paragraph. 

There  are  two  other  associations  in  the  United  States— the  Ameri- 
can Trotting  Association  and  the  National  Trotting  Association. 
They  work  harmoniously  together,  and  will  probably  he  merged  this 
year.  Rulings  made  by  the  one  association  are  valid  in  the  other; 
thus,  any  one  ruled  off  by  the  American  would  also  be  ruled  off  by 
the  National  Trotting  Association,  and  records  accepted  by  one  are 
likewise  accepted  by  the  other. 

Captain  Smith  claimed  that  "  endorsement  and  support  of 
tbe  order  would  promote  "unity"  and  the  Chronicle  is  led  in- 
to the  error,  or  rather  errors,  in  the  quotation.  The  N.  T. 
A.  and  A.  T.  A.  do  not  act  in  harmony  further  than  to  rec- 
ognize penalties  inflicted  for  fraud.  There  is  not  one  ebance 
in  a  thousand  for  them  being  "  merged,"  they  do  not  recog- 
nize suspensions  for  non-payment  of  entrance  money,  and 
they  do  not  accept  each  others  records.  The  disputed  Stock- 
ton records  were  accepted  by  the  N.  T.  A.,  rejected  by  the 
American  Trotting  Registry  Association,  not  acted  upon  by 
the  A.  T.  A. 

If  the  rules  of  the  A.  T.  R.  A.  are  complied  with,  records 
made  in  accordance  with  them  are  incorporated  in  the  Year 
Book.  Membership  in  any  association  is  not  necessary  to 
obtain  a  record  wh  en  made  in  purse  or  stake  races  at  a  regu- 
lar meeting.  Time  records  are  governed  by  more  stringent 
rules.

Nothing  More. — "Iconoclast,"  in  tbe  last  number  of  the 
Kentucky  Storm  Farm,  publishes:  "Both  Mr.  Gamble's  and 
Mr.  Simpson's  statements  are  mere  opinions,  and  purport  to 
be  nothing  more."  That  is  all  that  anyone's  statement  can 
be  called  when  the  time  of  a  horse  is  the  question  at  issue.  A 
person  who  is  present  when  the  horse  essays  the  task  can  only 
say  that  in  his  opinion  the  time  given  is  correct,  or  an  error, 
as  the  case  may  be ;  that  and  nothing  more.  One  may  even 
have  more  confidence  in  the  statement  of  another  than  can 
come  from  his  own  knowledge.  His  watch  may  be  inferior 
to  that  of  another ;  he  may  not  be  as  experienced  in  handling 
it  as  some  one  else,  and  a  number  of  other  reasons  for  prefer- 
ring what  comes  from  hearsay.  My  opinion  that  Stamboul 
trotted  in  2:07*  was  formed  on  hearing  all  the  oral  testimony 
presented  before  the  American  Trotting  Registry  Association 
and  tbe  Pacific  Board  of  Appeals,  and  a  perusal  of  tbe  affida- 
vits. Mr.  Gamble  had  practically  the  same  evidence  to 
arrive  at  the  same  conclusion  ;  to  change  his  opinion  a  cock- 
and-bull  story  of  two  men  who  were  not  present.  His  letter 
to  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  is  the  proof  I  have  for  calling  the 
later  evidence,  presented  by  Mr.  Gamble,  an  incoherent, 
rambling  tale  which  had  little  if  any  bearing  on  the  contro- 
versy. It  may  have  imposed  on  Mr.  Gamble  to  an  extent 
which  warranted  him  in  making  such  a  startling  admission 
of  his  previous  ignorance,  and  a  praiseworthy  and  anxious 
desire  to  make  amends,  as  "Iconoclast"  puts  it:  "After 
having  at  first  been  convinced  that  the  record  was  honest, 
had  good  cause  to  change  his  opinion  and  did  so,  it  was  right 
and  proper  that  he  should  have  taken  the  public  into  his 
confidence,  for  he  was  lo  a  considerable  extent  instrumental 
in  inducing  the  belief  in  the  public  mind  that  the  record  as 
originally  announced  was  correct;  and  if  this  statement  was 
erroneous  it  was  his  duty  to  assist  in  making  the  correction." 

Admitting  that  the  position  which  Iconoclast  occupies  is 
impregnable  were  he  enlightened  to  the  point  of  this  recalci- 
trant witness,  he  would  not  value  the  judgment  very  high 
which  changed  the  belief,  and  even  after  makbing  due  allow- 
ance for  a  lack  of  discrimination  come  to  the  conclusion  that 
a  desire  for  notoriety  muBt  be  the  governing  motive. 

Mr.  Gamble  knew  very  well  that  one  of  the  timers, 
Frank  W.  Covey,  is  honest,  capable  and  in  every  way 
trusty,  and  I  suppose  that  he  is  also  aware  that  his  associate 
in  that  duty  is  "under  tbe  tongue  of  good  report."  He  is 
also  well  aware  that  tbe  Presiding  Judge,  Senator  Lang- 
ford,  stands  as  high  for  probity  and  honor  as  any  man  in 
the  San  Joaquin  valley  ;  honored  by  his  fellow-citizens  and 
respected  all  over  the  State.  He  testified  that  the  rain  com- 
menced just  as  the  horse  was  finishing  the  mile,  and  that 
was  corroborated  by  so  many  witnesses  that  there  could  not 
be  the  slightest  chance  for  mistake.  Mr.  Gamble  was  not 
present  at  the  inquisition  by  the  American  Trotting  Regis- 
try Association.  I  think  he  was  when  the  Pacific  Board  of 
Appeals  tried  the  case  ;  if  not,  he  was  conversant  with  the 
evidence.  That  trial  was  held  in  the  rooms  of  the  Breepfr 
and  Sportsman  after  thorough  notice,  not  only  by  sum-

moning  witnesses,  but  by  reiterated  proclamations  in  the 
daily  papers  of  San  Francisco.  A  fairer  trial  could  not  be 
held,  and  among  the  many  who  listened  and  watched  there 
was  not  an  unprejudiced  individual  who  questioned  the  ver- 
dict. .  . 

Let  Iconoclast  re  read  that  letter  in  the  Spirit  of  the 
Times,  accept  this  statement  after  consultation  with  Mr. 
Gamble,  who  will  not  controvert  a  word  of  it,  and  I  will 
wager  every  horse  I  have  against  a  broken-down  mule  that 
he  will  not  say  that  it  is  sufficient  to  give  the  slightest  ground 
for  a  change  of  opinion. 

Xow,  I  have  made  the  charge  that  Mr.  Gamble  was  seek- 


lings 

offer  whatever  apology  may  be  necessary  to  right  the  wrong. 
But  not  a  word  was  heard  from  him  in  relation  to  his  change 
of  belief  when  on  this  side  of  the  country.  Had  he  gone  to 
the  Chairman  of  the  Pacific  Board,  Captain  X.  T.  Smith, 
and  acquainted  him  with  the  evidence  he  had  gathered  ;  had 
he  made  it  public  where  people  were  aoquainaed  with  the 
history  of  this  celebrated  case,  he  would  not  have  incurred 
the  charge.  As  it  stands,  I  cannot  realize  the  necessity  for 
denial  or  apology.  The  aspersions  cast  on  the  men  who  gave 
their  testimony  before  the  Board  of  Appeals  are  certainly 
serious  enough  to  warrant  a  decided  answer.

The    Uses   of   Adversity. 


It  seems  to  be  an  inexorable  law  of  nature  that  all  improve- 
ment comes  from  an  unceasing  struggle  of  forces.  Look  at 
the  men  who  have  reached  the  pinnacle  of  fame  in  any  call- 
ing, and  they  are  men  who  have  carved  their  way  to  success 
by  persistent  effort,  by  struggles  that  would  have  borne  down 
a  weaker  intellect  and  less-rugged  nature.  Ease  and  comfort, 
smooth  sailing  on  unruffled  waters  soon  causes  the  active,  ag- 
gressive spirit  to  relax  and  to  be  content  to  sail  with  the  cur- 
rent. Advancement  is  then  practically  at  a  standstill,  says 
the  American  Horse  Breeder. 

The  father,  reared  amid  sturdy  surroundings  that  impelled 
him  to  tight  his  way  step  by  step  to  the  front  rank  of  success- 
ful men,  is  followed  by  the  son,  reared  amid  luxurious  sur- 
roundings and  looking  upon  life  as  a  mere  pleasure  field. 
Mark  the  result.  With  no  struggle  to  strengthen  the  intellect, 
with  no  incentive  to  climb  the  ladder  of  success,  from  having 
been  born,  as  it  were,  upon  the  topmost  round,  the  course  is 
downward  rather  than  upward,  and  often  ends  as  the  boon 
companion  and  consort  of  some  inmate  of  a  dance  house,  fol- 
lowed by  an  early  decay  and  untimely  death. 

Since  the  first  germ  of  life  appeared,  that  life,  reproduced 
has  been  a  continual  struggle  for  existence.  Wild  beasts, 
insects  and  fishes  prey  upon  each  other,  and  the  survival  of 
the  fittest  has  marked  the  line  of  improvement  along  a  path 
strewn  with  the  remnants  of  the  weaker.  It  seems  a  cruel 
law  of  our  being,  but  it  is,  ever  has  been,  and  no  doubt  always 
will  be,  the  same. 

A  continued  struggle  for  existence,  sometimes  by  flight  and 
sometimes  by  force,  evolved  the  magnificent  horse  of  to*day 
from  the  little  Ephippus,  that  was  a  prey  for  all  larger  or 
fleeter  antagonists.  In  this  continued  struggle  the  weaker 
fell  by  the  wayside  and  those  strong  enough  to  survive  propa- 
gated their  species,  and  these  again  added  another  link  to  the 
slow  but  sure  chain  of  evolution.  The  history  of  all  life  fol- 
lows the  same  lines,  the  same  inexorable  laws,  the  survival  of 
the  fittest,  and  by  the  reproduction  of  these,  a  step  forward  in 
the  long  but  continuous  chain  that  links  the  beginning  with 
tbe  present. 

In  the  affairs  of  life  the  same  laws  hold  good.  We  see  sea- 
sons of  prosperity  followed  by  those  of  depression,  just  as  in 
nature  the  sunshine  is  followed  by  clouds. 

At  the  present  time  a  season  of  depression  is  upon  us,  but 
who  can  say  that  it  was  not  needed  and  that  it  will  not  prove 
in  the  end  a  positive  benefit?  Years  of  ease  and  expansion 
had  broken  down  the  barriers  and  safeguards  that  conserva- 
tive principles  erect  and  maintain,  and  extravagance  and  a 
careless  sailing  with  the  tide  had  become  prevalent. 

As  regards  the  industry  of  breeding  trotting  horses  we  can 
now  look  back  over  the  past  few  years  and  almost  wonder 
that  such  things  were.  We  all  know  that  the  extravagant 
methods  bad  no  stable  foundation  and  could  not  endure  ;  but 
so  long  as  the  state  of  afiairs  prevailed  all  were  content  to 
rush  on  in  the  same  course.  W  ould  improvement  in  methods 
have  been  possible  without  a  change?  Certainly  not  So 
long  as  anything  and  everything  having  the  seal  of  a  stand- 
ard could  be  led  into  a  sale  ring  and  sold  for  extravagant 
prices  what  impulse  existed  for  improvement?  None  what- 
ever. 

It  is  weli  that  a  halt  was  called.  We  are  now  face  to  face 
with  the  same  problem  that  has  ever  confronted  man  since 
he  began  the  march  of  improvement.  The  dross  must  go  ; 
the  weeds  must  be  culled  and  the  production  stopped  ;  a 
higher  type  must  be  evolved  and  reproduced,  and  then  with 
another  step  in  the  march  of  evolution  and  progress  the  sun 
of  prosperity  v  ill  again  shine  and  another  cycle  of  time  will 
mark  the  reign  of  prosperity. 

These  lessons  seem  essential  for  our  welfare.  While  they 
are  natural  cause  and  effect,  that  cause  and  effect  is  in  obe- 
dience to  the  common  law  that  governs  all  the  forces  by 
which  we  are  surrounded.  If  it  were  not  for  this  law  our 
whole  being  would  be  changed.  Accepting  the  inevitable 
shall  we  not  then  seek  to  profit  by  the  change  and  speedily 
turn  the  changed  conditions  to  our  good  ?  \\  e  know  that  the 
days  of  producing  mediocrity  at  a  profit  are  over,  and  it  rests 
with  each  to  prove  ourselves  able  to  rise  to  the  changed  situa- 
tion or  to  fall  by  the  wayside  and  add  our  names  to  the  list 
of  failures. 

Not  all  can  succeed  in  any  business.  Especially  in  times 
of  depression  and  keen  competition  is  adaptation  essential  to 
success.  A  man  that  fights  against  fate  wastes  his  energies 
and  invites  failure.  To  know  ourselves  is  the  great  question. 
Many  men  will  fail  in  breeding  light-harness  horses  that 
would  succeed  in  tbe  production  of  milk  or  poultry.  Many 
men  will  fail  in  producing  extreme  speed  that  would  succeed 
in  breeding  draught  horses  or  the  style  termed  general-pur- 
x»e  horses.  Remember,  reader,  that  it  will  never  pay  to  de- 
ceive yourself.  The  greatest  hope  for  success  in  any  calling, 
especially  in  times  like  the  present,  lies  in  your  adaptation 
for  the  calling.  Be  honest  with  yourself,  even  if  the  finding 
Jr  distasteful  to  you. 

It  is  better  to  (a  •>  the  inevitable  now  than  to  be  forced  to 
lo  so  later  by  failure.  Every  avenue  of  trade  is  crowded,  and 
in  the  struggle  many  must  fall   by  the  wayside,  while  ex- 


ceptional ability  will  suoceed.  How  much  better  to  be  a  suc- 
cess at  raising  potatoes  than  a  failure  at  some  more  inviting 
calling  for  which  nature  has  not  given  you  special  adaptation. 

Horses  of  every  grade  and  type  seem  to  be  abundant.  The 
law  of  supply  and  demand  plainly  says  that  the  former  must 
be  curtailed  to  again  create  an  equilibrium.  During  the  re- 
cent boom  in  breeding  men  rushed  into  the  business  that 
should  have  been  content  to  remain  engaged  in  other  indus- 
tries. These  things  cannot  be  prevented — they  always  have 
been  and  always  will  be. 

The  present,  however,  is  a  good  time  for  those  to  drop  out 
that  have  not  a  special  adaptation  for  the  business.  Some 
other  calling  will  probably  offer  a  more  inviting  field,  and 
those  that  remain  will  be  benefited  by  such  changes.  It  is  a 
time  calling  for  the  most  careful  deliberation,  the  greatest 
prudence  and  the  most  energetic  methods.  Such  times  are 
needed  to  make  men  strong.  Many  will  fall  before  prosper- 
ity returns,  but  those  that  hold  fast  will  find  themselves  bet- 
ter prepared  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  their  labors  and  stronger  to 
fight  and  win  in  the  next  struggle.

Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association. 


The  Corbitt  Sale. 


If  Monday  night's  meeting  is  an  index  of  the  interest  felt  in 
racing  by  our  horsemen,  success  is  assured.  Nearly  ninety 
names  were  signed  to  the  membership  roll,  and  many  of 
them  were  those  of  men  noted  in  turf  circles  in  the  far  West. 
The  meeting-place  was  in  the  rooms  of  tbe  Breeder  and 
Sportsman,  313  Bush  Street,  and  Wilber  F.  Smith  presided. 
After  roll-call  a  telegram  was  read  from  Theodore  Winters 
stating  that  he  would  do  all  he  could  to  further  the  interests 
of  the  new  association.  James  L.  Flood  sent  word  by  James 
Neil  that  he  desired  to  contribute  $100  to  help  the  new  or- 
ganization along.  Pendell  &  Duke  wanted  to  do  likewise  to 
the  extent  of  $50.  Both  kind  offers  were  accepted  with 
thanks  and  enthusiasm. 

The  report  of  the  Committee  on  By-Laws  and  Constitution 
was  read,  and  a  few  amendments  were  made  by  H.  D.  Brown, 
the  most  important  relating  to  elections,  where  the  secret 
ballet  only  will  be  used.  In  case  an  official  is  up  for  im- 
peachment twenty-five  members  of  the  organization  must  be 
present  to  constitute  a  quorum,  and  of  that  number  a  two- 
thirds  vote  is  necessary  to  impeach.  After  the  constitution 
had  been  passed  upon  temporarily  the  election  of  officers  was 
gone  into,  the  following  being  selected  to  serve  until  the  sec- 
ond Monday  in  January:  President,  Wilber  F.  Smith; 
Vice-president,  H.  J.  Stemler ;  Treasurer,  Henry  Schwartz  ; 
secretary,  Ralph  H.  Tozer ;  directors — Theodore  Winters, 
Charles  Kerr,  Richard  Havey,  Thomas  Owens  and  Thomas 
W.  Moore.  

At  Wednesday  night's  meeting  of  the  Breeders'  and  Horse- 
men's Association  there  was  a  goodly  attendance.  President 
W.  F.  Smith  was  in  the  chair.  After  some  discussion  the 
by-laws  and  constitution  and  racing  rules  of  the  Blood  Horse 
Association,  with  the  changes  regarding  elections  and  im- 
peachments made  by  H.  D.  Brown,  were  adopted. 

It  was  decided,  on  motion,  to  allow  breeders,  owners  or 
trainers  to  come  into  the  association  up  to  June  loth  on  pay- 
ment of  $25  initiation  fee ;  after  that  to  charge  $50.  The 
general  meeting  then  adjourned. 

The  Directors  met  immediately  after  and  transacted  a  lot 
of  bnsiness.  The  kind  offer  of  the  Bay  District  track  by 
President  Williams  was  accepted.  It  was  decided  to  open 
bids  for  the  entire  booking  privilege  for  the  two  weeks'  meet- 
ing in  San  Francisco.  These  bids  are  to  be  received  by  the 
Secretary  up  to  Friday  night,  when  there  will  be  another 
meeting  of  the  Directors.  No  less  than  $1,000  will  be  given 
by  the  Association  each  day,  and  there  will  be  at  least  five 
races. 

It  was  decided  to  charge  $5  to  enter  ordinary  purte  and 
selling  races  (money  to  accompany  entry)  and  $5  additional 
to  scratch  out.  Nothing,  however,  is  to  be  charged  to  scratch 
out  down  to  ten  entries.  At  least  $200  goes  to  the  owner  of 
the  winner  in  every  race,  while  the  entry  and  scratch  money 
is  to  be  divided  between  second  and  third  horses — 70  per 
cent,  to  second,  30  per  cent,  to  third.  Entries  are  to  close 
twenty  minutes  after  each  race. 

President  Wilber  F.  Smith  was  appointed  Presiding  Judge 
and  he  is  to  pick  the  gentleman  to  act  as  second  judge.  The 
Secretary  will  be  the  third  judge.  He  is  to  fix  the  weights 
in  all  handicaps. 

H.  D.  Brown  was  appointed  starter;  George  Kelley,  As- 
sistant Secretary;  Henry  Forsland,  Clerk  of  the  Scales,  J. 
Morris  was  made  Superintendent  of  the  Grounds.  After 
transacting  other  necessary  business,  the  directors  adjourned 
to  meet  Friday  night  at  8  o'clock,  at  which  time  a  pro- 
gramme will  be  submitted. 

Should  Be  Attended   To. 


It  is  very  convenient  in  tabulating  pedigrees  to  write  Dolly 
Spanker,  by  Henry  Clay,  dam  Telegraph,  but  it  is  misleading 
and  should  not  be  practiced.  It  has  been  proven  beyond  a 
reasonable  doubt  that  this  mare  by  Henry  Clay,  out  of  Tele- 
graph, by  Baker's  Highlander,  was  foaled  at  so  late  a  date 
that  it  was  utterly  impossible  for  her  to  have  produced  George 
Wilkes.  The  Register  Association  should  take  this  matter  in 
hand,  investigate  the  facts  and  change  the  pedigree  of  George 
Wilkes  to  conform  to  them. 

While  the  officers  of  this  association  are  about  it  they 
should  overhaul  the  pedigree  of  Nancy  Pope,  the  dam  of 
Pilot  Jr.,  whose  pedigree  figures  prominently  in  the  dams  of 
several  very  fast  trotters,  noted  broodmares  and  distinguished 
sires.  This  should  have  been  attended  to  at  the  same  time 
that  the  pedigree  of  Sally  Russell  waB  established. 

There  are  other  pedigrees  of  less  importance  which  could 
be  corrected  with  but  slight  expense.  One  of  them  is  North 
American  ;  another  the  dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk,  which 
now  appears  as  a  pacer,  though  there  are  men  still  living 
who  knew  her  for  years,  and  knew  that  she  never  paced  a  step 
during  all  that  time.  It  took  but  very  little  evidence  to 
convince  the  former  registrar  that  a  trotter  did  not  'possess  a 
thoroughbred  or  did  inherit  a  pacing  cross.  Fortunately  for 
the  breeding  public  times  have  changed,  and  so  have  the 
methods  of  registration  which  govern  the  American  Trotting 
Register  Association. — American  Horse  Breeder. 

J.  E.  Kittson,  of  Philadelphia,  the  millionaire  son  of  the 
late  Commodore  Kittson,  has  leased  the  Lisle  Farm,  two 
miles  from  Lexington,  and  will  establiwh  a  breedine  farm 
thereon.  Mr.  Kittson  has  thirty-two  fine  thoroughbred  brood- 
mares, among  them  Spinaway,  the  dam  of  Lazzarone  and 
Handspuo. 


The  attendance  at  the  sale  of  Wm.  Corbitt's  horses  last 
Tuesday  was  not  as  large  as  expected.  Every  preparation 
was  made  for  the  comfort  of  those  who  arrived  at  the  beauti- 
ful place.  A  new  stand  was  erected  for  the  auctioneers,  a 
grand  stand  for  the  spectators,  and  a  table  well  filled  with  a 
sumptuous  lunch  (enough  for  at  least  one  hundred  more  than 
those  who  attended)  was  provided. 

The  day  was  lovely,  and  Shorty  Bleil  showed  the  colts  and 
fillies  to  good  advantage.  Many  of  these  youngsters  will  ap- 
pear in  races  on  the  Pacific  Slope.  There  was  not  a  poor  in- 
dividual shown.  All  who  failed  to  attend  will  have  cause 
to  regret  it;  but  if  Mr.  Corbitt  can  be  induced  to  hold  another 
sale  next  year  we  venture  the  prediction  that  the  crowd  will 
be  much  larger,  and  far  better  prices  be  obtained.  Every 
aninial  offered  was  sold  and  by-bidding  was  not  indulged  in. 
The  example  this  owner  set  in  this  respect  might  well  be  fol- 
lowed by  others  who  have  been  discovered  at  this  game.  The 
sum  realized  for  the  forty-seven  head  was  $6,430,  an  average 
of  a  little  over  $136.  The  highest  price  paid  for  a  single 
animal  was  $500,  Veto,  brother  to  Sabledale  going  for  that 
figure  to  E.  A.  Husing.  Robert  Orr,  of  Hollister,  paid  $380 
for  a  very  handsome  colt  by  Guy  Wilkes,  dam  Rosedale,  by 
Sultan.  John  Rodgera,  the  trainer  at  the  farm,  was  the  high- 
est bidder  for  the  brown  colt  by  Sable  Wilkes,  out  of  Gulnare, 
by  Princeps  paying  $400  for  him.  No  doubt  we  will  hear  of 
this  one,  as  well  as  the  others  sold,  in  lS95.|The  heaviest  buyer 
was  W.  C.  Jones,  of  Grass  Valley.  He  determined  to  get 
the  nucleus  of  an  extensive  stock  farm  at  this  sale  and  suc- 
ceeded; of  the  forty  seven  animals  sold  he  bought  twenty-one 
and  among  this  lot  are  some  of  the  greatest  bargains  ever  se- 
cured at  an  auction  sale  in  this  State. 

H.  Jackson  secured  some  very  choicely-bred  and  fine-look- 
ing broodmares  and  fillies,  his  partiality  being  for  near  rela- 
tives of  the  garne^ trotting  stallion  Beaumont,  2:23£. 

The  broodmares  were  in  splendid  condition  and  every  one 
was  just  as  represented,  Mr.  Corbitt  answering  all  questions 
regarding  them,  and  offering  to  care  for  a  number  sold. 
His  judgment  in  selecting  such  grandly-formed  animals  was 
commented  upon,  and  the  secret  of  his  great  success  in  the 
breeding  of  fast^trotters  could  be  attributed  to  this  rare  gift  of 
comprehension  of  form.  Previous  to  the  sale  Guy  Wilkes, 
Sable  Wilkes  and  Wil  Direct  were  led  out  for  inspection,  and 
the  universal  opinion  expressed  was,  that  Guy  Wilkes  and 
his  son  Sable,  never  looked  better,  while  Wil  Direct  was  a 
perfect  model  of  a  trotter.

A  Southern*  friend  writes  The  Horseman:  "Seeing  in 
your  paper  that  the  word  'burro  '  is  Spanish  for  donkey  re- 
minds me  of  a  good  joke.  One  of  our  ladies  having  traveled 
West,  and  seeing  how  serviceable  the  '  burro  '  could  be  made, 
prevailed  on  her  good  man  to  send  for  one  for  her.  In  due 
time  he  duly  came  and  was  way-billed  *  burro.'  The  rail- 
road freight  clerk  wai  lightning  in  checking  freight,  but  ig- 
norant of  '  burros.'  He  had  to  report  promptly  all  errors, 
etc.,  to  the  agent.  He  endorsed  on  the  way-bill  as  follows  : 
'  One  bureau  short,  one  jackass  over.'  This  is  said  to  be  a  fact.' ' 

Don't  overlook  the  Northern  Circuit  this  year.  $100,000 
are  being  hung  up  in  purses.  Entries  close  at  Portland,

On  cicatrices  and  bare  spots  on  the  skin  of 
the  horse  the  hair  may  be  restored — if  the  fol- 
licles are  not  destroyed — by  the  application  of 
a  diluted  acetous  infusion  of  cantbarides.  Any 
other  stimulating  liquid,  such  as  iodine,  if  an 
emollient  is  appliea  shortly  afterwards,  will 
have  the  same  effect.  When  the  hair  bulbs 
have  once  been  destroyed  the  spot  will  always 
remain  bare.  Proper  attention  to  cleanliness 
and  keeping  the  skin  soft  are  essential  to  pro- 
moting the  growth  of  the  hair.

Sale  of  Woodburn  Yearlings. 


The  8ale  of  the  Woodburn  yearlings  and 
Rancocas  two-year-olds  at  the  American  Horse 
Exchange  last  night  was  well  attended,  but 
the  bidding  was  very  slack.  Indeed,  the  sale 
cannot  but  be  regarded  as  a  bad  omen  for  the 
sale  season.  Only  one  yearling,  the  full 
brother  to  Counter  Tenor,  brought  over  $1,000, 
Bavs  Daily  America  and  Mercury  of  19th. 

Sir  Roderick  Cameron  was  one  of  the  heavi- 
est buyers,  and  it  is  stated  that  the  good 
sportsman  who  imported  Leamington  #ill 
come  back  on  the  turf  now  that  it  is  in  the 
hands  of  such  a  body  of  men  as  constitute  the 
Jockey  Club. 

Mr.  Easton  worked  with  his  usual  vigor  and 
exercised  his  marvelous  power  of  persuasive- 
ness, but  to  small  avail.  It  was  not  a  buying 
crowd,  and  it  was  only  through  the  indefatig- 
able efforts  of  the  auctioneer  that  the  average 
was  as  good  as  it  was.    Summaries :

"Waiting  at  the   Bars. 


There's  clover  iu  the  pasture  lot, 

And  dandelions,  too. 
And  over  by  the  shady  brook 

A  bed  of  violets  blue— 
They're  calling  to  the  stabled  ones, 

The  yearlings,  black  and  bay, 
To  open  wide  the  meadow-bars, 

And  enter  life  more  gay. 

The  thrush  is  ringing  from  the  hedge, 

The  lark  doth  gladly  cry, 
And,  like  a  signal,  o'er  the  brook 

The  oriole  swings  high  ; 
Brisk  rabbits  skip  across  the  green 

Where  graceful  squirrels  play — 
The  only  note  that's  lacking 

Is  the  yearling's  happy  neigh.

Committee,  General  Committee,  Board  of  Lady  Managers  aud  Local  Committee  in 
each  county,  composed  of  leading  members  of  society  and  well-known  horsemen,  will

The  following  arrangements  have  been  made  with  the  California  Railroads.  It  has 
been  agreed  that  on  all  exhibits  forwarded  to  the  National  Equestrian  Festival  to  be 
held  at  San  Francisco  from  July  1st  to  8th,  1894,  full  tariff  rates  shall  be  charged  ;  buj 
that  such  exhibits,  if  unsold  and  reshipped  within  thirty  days  after  the  close  of  the 
Festival,  will  be  returned  free,  under  Live  Stock  Contract,  by  thu  lines  which  carried 
the  same,  upon  presentation  of  a  certificate  signed  by  the  proper  officers  of  the  Festi- 
val to  the  effect  that  the  shipments  are  unsold  exhibits  which  have  paid  full  tariff 
rates  one  way  ;  such  certificate  to  be  attached  to  the  manifest  of  each  shipment. 

The  Recreation  Grounds,  over  sixty  acres  in  extent,  contains  a  large  running  track 
and  with  a  commodious  Grand  Stand  of  thirty-tour  boxes  and  7,000  seats,  is  the  place 
par  excellence  for  an  exhibiton  of  this  nature. 

The  best  of  accommodations  will  be  provided  for  all  animals  exhibited. 
The  association   desires  to  purchase  or  hire  500  broken  horses.     Horses  will  be 
properly  stabled   and  cared   for,  and   will   be  daily  ridden  or  driven  by  experienced 
horsemen,  thus   owners   will  find    the  marketable  value   of  their   stock    materially 
improved. 

The  rules  and  regulations  governiug  the  Horse  Show  and  the  entry  blanks  will 
be  sent  to  any  address  on  application. 

This,  the  first  Horse  Show  on  the  Pacific  Coast,  and"  the  only  Equestrian  Festi- 
val of  this  nature  ever  held  in  America,  will  be  the  crowning  event  in  the  series  of 
festivities  given  during  the  Fair,  and  as  grand  a  success  as  the  Midwinter  Exposition 
has  proved  to  be.

HORSES  are  FED,  "WATERED 
and  CLEANED  to  keep  them  in 
g-ood  order.  Why  neglect  their 
feet  without  the  proper  use  of  which 
they  are  worthless? 

Driven  on  hard  roads  the  foot  is  the 
first  part  of  the  horse  that  will  show 
signs  of  wear  and  the  horse  is  soon 
laid  up  lame. 

Therefore  take  the  advice  of  the  wise 
man  who  said  "leave  nothing-  to  what 
is  called  luck  and  you  will  generally  be 
considered  lucky."  The  universal 
opinion  of  the  best  horsemen  in  the 
country  is  that 

Campbell's  Horse  Foot  Remedy 

as  a  hoof  grower  has  no  epual.  By  aq 
plying  it  to  the  foot  daily  it  starts  up 
a  healthy  growth  and  the  horseshoer 
trims  off  all  dead  and  diseased  parts. 
leaving  the  foot  always  in  good  condi- 
tion.

in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on

Training" 
The  Trotting  Horse, 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CII A RLKS  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  galting,  driving,  keeping, 
rnclngand  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  oat  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft, and  It  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  bandsot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

CALIFORNIA   JOCKEY    CLUB  RACES; 


THIRTY-NINTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  MAY  25. 

ITH  a  drenched  track  and  steady 
rain  up  to  1  P.  m.  came  a  lot  of 
scratches  in  the  various  races,  leav- 
ing only  a  small  number  of  starters 
in  three  of  the  events  and  medium- 
sized  fields  in  the  remaining  two. 
Notwithstanding  threatening  skies 
and  the  condition  of  the  track,  there 
must  have  been  close  to  1,500  race- 
goers on  hand  to  make  trouble  for  the  bookmakers.  Favor- 
ites were  successful  on  three  occasions  to-day,  the  remaining 
races  going  to  a  second  choice  and  a  long  shot  that  was  well 
played.  It  can  thus  be  seen  that  form-students  had  a  great 
day  of  it,  financially  speaking.  N.  S.  Hall  was  credited  with 
winning  heavily  on  Shamrock.  The  features  of  the  day's 
sport  consisted  in  the  wonderful  win  of  Polaski  from  the  ex- 
treme rear,  after  a  poor  start  and  the  fast  time  made  by  Lov- 
dal  and  Artist  over  such  a  heavy  track.  The  announcement 
of  the  re-instatement  of  the  veteran  horseman,  George  How- 
son,  was  received  with  feelings  of  joy  by  those  who  knew  him 
at  the  local  track,  and  who  have  ever  believed  him  innocent 
of  any  wrong  doing.  The  popular  pencilers,  Charles  Kings- 
ley  and  George  Rose,  were  also  reinstated,  and  their  many 
friends  rejoiced  at  it.  Peters  rode  two  winners  to-day,  while 
Madison,  Burns  and  Coombs  also  piloted  victors. 

Shamrock,  10  to  1  at  the  time,  led  nearly  all  the  way  in  the 
first  race,  and  won  by  three  lengths  from  Polaski,  who  must 
have  made  up  close  to  eight  lengths  of  ground  from  where  he 
got  away.  April  was  beaten  but  a  head  for  the  place  in  the 
last  stride, 

Hanford,  the  favorite,  was  one  of  the  last  to  get  away  in 
the  second  race,  but  won  handily  at  the  end  by  three  parts  of 
a  length,  with  Washoe  (who  fouled  Charlie  Quick  in  the 
homestretch)  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  Quick. 

Green  Hock  had  an  easy  victory  in  the  mile,  leading  from 
the  first  turn  clear  around  to  the  finish  by  several  lengths, 
Pricelle,  the  favorite,  second,  eight  lengths  from  Alexis. 

Lovdal  (favorite)  won  a  grand  race.  He  ran  third  to  Reali- 
zation and  Tigress  until  the  homestretch,  when  he  came  on 
and  beat  Tigress  out  in  a  drive  by  half  a  length.  The  little 
mare  faltered  about  forty  yards  from  the  finish. 

Artist  won  the  last  race  by  six  leDgths  in  a  canter.  Tillie 
S.  and  Chemuck  gave  him  something  of  a  battle  for  over  a 
quarter  of  a  mile,  then  Artist  came  away.  Tillie  S.  made  such 
a  wide  turn  coming  into  the  homestretch  that  she  came  with- 
in an  ace  of  losing  the  place  to  Chemuck  by  it.  By  hard  rid- 
ing she  beat  the  latter  a  head.

Polaski  was  a  favorite  at  11  to  5.  Warrago,  April  and 
Shamrock  were  at  6  to  1  each  flatter  opened  at  10),  Prince 
Idle  and  Tornado  each  10,  Little  Tough  15,  Keno  20,  Roan- 
oke 60  to  1.  The  start  was  a  straggling  one,  Polaski,  the 
favorite,  being  sent  off  last,over  two  lengths  behind  his  nearest 
opponent.  Shamrock,  fourth  away,  soon  went  to  the  front, 
and  led  passing  the  half-pole  by  a  head,  Keno  second,  three 
lengths  from  April.  Polaski  was  still  last  three  lengths  back 
of  his  field.  Shamrock  went  away  from  the  lot  very  fast, 
and  led  Keno  into  the  homestretch  by  one  length,  April 
lapped  on  Keno.  In  the  homestretch  Polaski  made  a  phe- 
nomenal run,  mowing  down  one  after  another,  but  could  not 
reach  Shamrock,  who  won  by  three  lengths.  Polaski  got 
the  place  in  the  last  couple  of  strides  by  a  head,  April  third, 
four  lengths  from  Little  Tough.  Time,  1:04£.  The  favorite 
would  have  won  away  oft  had  he  got  away  on  anything  like 
good  terms  with  Shamrock  and  the  others.

the  homestretch  by  a  head,  Washoe  second,  two  lengths  from 
Hanford,  who  had  run  from  almost  the  extreme  rear.  Han- 
ford went  to  the  front  when  they  got  straightened  out  in  the 
homestretch,  and  won  easily  all  the  way,  finishing  first  by 
three  parts  of  a  length,  Washoe  second,  one  and  one-half 
lengths  from  Charlie  Quick.  Time,  0:51  J.  Washoe  appeared 
ta  have  fouled  Charlie  Quick  a  little  less  than  an  eighth  from

led  at  the  flag-fall,  with  Realization  second,  Lovdal  third. 
Realization  led  at  the  half  by  a  length  Tigress  second,  two 
lengths  from  Lovdal.  The  order  was  unchanged  in  the  run 
to  the  homestretch,  but  Lovdal  was  coming  up  very  fast, 
gaining  at  every  stride.  Realization  fell  back  half-way  down 
the  straight,  and  Tigress  assumed  command.  She  looked  a 
winner  up  to  the  last  forty  yards.  Here  Lovdal  collared  her, 
and  the  little  filly  faltering  somewhat,  Lovdal  came  on  and 
won  a  fast  race  in  such  heavy  going  by  half  a  length,  Tigress 
getting  the  place,  three  lengths  in  front  of  Realization,  who 
beat  Thornhill  five  lengths  for  the  show.    Time,  1:23}.

ArtiBt  went  to  the  post  a  favorite,  opening  at  8  to  5,  closing 
at  6  to  5.  Tillie  S.  was  at  2  to  1  at  the  opening,  was  backed 
down  to  6  to  5,  closed  at  8  to  5.  Chemuck  was  a  4  to  1 
chance,  George  L.  at  5,  Claire  and  the  Flood-Goula  gelding 
30  to  1  each.  Tillie  S.,  North,  Chemuck,  Artist  was  the  way 
they  ranged  up  at  the  flag-fall.  North  fell  back  and  Tillie  S., 
Artist  and  Chemuck,  heads  apart,  ran  past  the  half  as  named, 
five  lengths  from  North.  The  leading  trio  ran  very  close  to- 
gether for  about  another  furlong,  where  Artist  showed  to  the 
front  and  began  to  draw  away.  He  was  first  into  the  home- 
stretch by  two  lengths  easily,  and  made  a  good  turn.  Tillie 
S.  turned  very  wide,  and  Chemuck  took  the  place,  a  couple  of 
lengths  from  Tillie  S.  Artist  went  away  further  and  further 
in  the  homestretch,  and  won  with  ease  by  six  lengths.  Tillie 
S.,  driven  out  desperately  by  Chevalier,  secured  the  place  by 
a  head,  Chemuck  third,  four  lengths  from  Claire.  Time, 
1:09 — a  great  run,  truly,  over  such  a  sloppy  track. 

FORTIETH   DAY — SATURDAY,  MAY   26. 

Our  local  race-goers  turned  out  exceedingly  well  to-day, 
weather,  conditions,  muddy  track  and  slim  list  of  entries  con- 
sidered. The  racing  provided  was  exciting  in  the  extreme, 
however,  in  three  of  the  five  events,  two  of  the  nnmber 
being  nose-and-nose  finishes.  The  features  of  the 
sport  were  the  game  wins  of  King  Sam,  who  at 
last  said  ta-ta  to  maidenhood ;  the  fast  run  of  Nor- 
mandie,  the  grand  victory  of  Rey  Alfonso  and  the  phenom- 
enal win  of  Straight  Tip  in  the  last  race  when  defeat  looked 
certain  up  to  the  last  fifty  yards.  Coombs  did  well  to-day  in 
the  saddle,  riding  two  winners  and  a  third.  Peters,  Tuber- 
ville  and  Eddie  Jones  also  rode  horses  into  brackethood.  The 
band  played  "  Auld  Lang  Syne "  in  honor  of  the  retiring 
officials,  who  were  soon  to  leave  for  their  homes  on  the  other 
side  of  the  Rockies.  The  racing  on  Monday  is  to  be  under 
the  auspices  of  the  California  Jockey  Club,  but  the  judges' 
stand,  starter's  box,  timer's  stand,  etc.,  will  be  filled  with 
members  of  the  press,  who  will  try  their  hand  at  conducting 
a  race  meeting  for  one  afternoon. 

King  Sam,  second  choice,  won  the  first  race  by  a  nose  from 
Polaski,  on  whom  Chevalier  was  perhaps  a  trifle  over-con- 
fident. Polaski  got  away  last  again,  and  Nellie  Van  led  from 
the  flae-fall  to  homestretch. 

Normandie,  first  choice  of  the  talent,  waited  on  Warrago 
until  well  down  the  homestretch,  then  came  on  and  won  with 
a  lot  up  her  sleeve  by  two  lengths.  Warrago  got  the  place 
by  driving,  a  length  in  front  of  Red  Bird. 

Nutwood  finished  first  in  the  third  race,  but  interfering 
with  Hy  Dy  in  the  final  sixteenth,  was  disqualified  and  the 
race  given  to  the  latter,  who  was  a  favorite.  Dr.  Ross  was 
awarded  the  place  and  Alexis  the  show. 

Rey  Alfonso,  conceding  a  lot  of  weight  to  his  three  oppon- 
ents, won  the  fourth  race  rather  handily,  though  Monterey  ran 
up  so  strongly  that  the  crack  Prince  of  Norfolk  colt  had  to 
be  shaken  up  a  bit  to  win  by  three  parts  of-a  length.  Niagara 
showed  and  the  well-played  Miss  Buckley  was  absolutely  last 
at  the  finish. 

Straight  Tip  won  one  of  the  gamest  races  seen  in  several 
days  when  she  captured  the  last  event  of  the  day  by  a  nose 
from  Last  Chance,  a  torrid  favorite.  Vulcan  managed  to 
show,  after  leading  to  the  homestretch.

Polaski  was  a  9-to-10  favorite  at  the  close.  King  Sam 
opened  at  2j  to  1,  closed  at  3  to  I.  Nellie  Van  was  at  4, 
Toots  and  Jack  the  Ripper  10  each,  Lady  R.  12,  Roan- 
oke GO  to  1.  Nellie  Van,  Lady  R.,  Jack  the  Ripper  was 
the  order  to  a  good  start.  At  the  half  Nellie  Van  led  by 
half  a  length,  Jack  the  Ripper  second,  as  far  from  Roan- 
oke. Polaski  got  away  last  and  was  still  last  at  the  half. 
Nellie  Van  kept  control  of  affairs  into  the  homestretch, 
where  she  was  a  length  to  the  good,  Roanoke  second,  lapped 
by  King  Sam.  Polaski  came  fast  down  the  homestretch,  and 
appeared  to  be  winning  hands  down  up  to  the  last  thirty 
yards,  where  he  stepped  into  a  stretch  of  soft  clay,  and  King 
Sam  came  like  a  shot  and  won  by  a  head,  Polaski  second, 
two  lengths  from  Nellie  Van,  who  was  as  far  from  Roanoke.

half  lengths  to  the  good  when  the  homestretch  was  reached, 
Normandie  having  said  good-bye  to  Outright  and  being  sec-

Hy  Dy  was  the  choice  of  the  talent,  opening  at  even

Ryland  and  Alexis  10  each,  De  La  Guerra  and  and  Nutwood 
15  to  1  each.  Nutwood,  Dr.  Ross,  Alexis  was  the  order  to  a 
fair  start.  At  the  quarter  Green  Hock  led,  half  a  length  in 
front  of  Nutwood,  who  was  two  lengths  from  Dr.  Ross.  There 
was  no  change  in  the  positions  going  the  next  quarter,but  Dr. 
Ross  had  moved  up  closer  to  Nutwood  and  Hy  Dy  was  closing 
up  some.  Green  Hock  fell  back  about  three  furlongs  from 
home,  and  Dr.  Ross  moved  up  into  the  lead  a  length  from 
Nntwood,  as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch,  Hy  Dy  now 
third.  Hy  Dy  ran  fast  down  the  straight,  and  shouts  went 
up  for  him.  About  125  yards  from  the  finish  Hy  Dy 
pulled  in  front  of  Nutwood,  impeding  his  progress  badly.  It 
was  a  clear  foul.  Nutwood  went  on  and  finished  first  easily 
by  one  and  one-half  lengths,  Hy  Dy  second,  a  neck  from  Dr. 
Ross,  who  got  the  show,  six  lengths  from  Alexis.  Time, 
1:47}.  On  Coombs  making  a  claim  of  foul  the  stewards  im- 
mediately disqualified  Nutwood,  giving  Hy  Dy  the  race,  Dr. 
Ross  the  place  and  Alexis  the  show.  Nutwood  is  an  unfor-

O'Neil,  Vulcan,  Last  Chance,  <  iold  Dust  was  the  order  to  a

lengths,  Viceroy  second,  a  length  from  Gold  Dust,  on  whom 
Last  Chance  was  lapped.  Two  lengths  further  off  came

FORTY-FIRST   DAY — MONDAY,  MAY  28. 

This  was  a  great  day  for  the  talent  and  the  racing  editors 
of  the  city.  Thv  Utter  occupied  all  the  portions  of  trust  con- 
nected with  the  rucing  from  starter  and  presiding  judge  to 
time  flag-dropper.    They  acquitted  themselves  satisfactorily, 


and  especially  well  did  Ben  Benjamin  do  with  the  little  red 
flag.  He  did  not  make  one  bad  start,  and  three  of  the  five 
were  first-class.  The  attendance  was  most  encouraging,  at  least 
1,800  passing  the  gates,  and  the  balcony  was  a  bower  of 
feminine  loveliness.  No  accident  or  foul  of  any  sort  marred 
the  afternoon's  sport,  and  everything  went  ofi  withjiispatch. 

Little  Eddie  Jones  rode  two  winners,  and  H.  Smith,  Sulli- 
van and  Chevalier  were  also  successful  in  the   saddle.     Three 
!  favorites  and  two  second  choices  won  the  races  to-day,  and  the 
bookm  i  keis  bad  a  tired  look  as  the  last  race  was  announced 

McGinnis'  First  and  imp.  True  Briton  alternated  in  the 
lead  until  well  in  the  homestretch,  then  Little  Tough,  the 
favorite,  came  on  and  won  handily  by  three  lengths,  True 
Briton  getting  the  place  less  than  a  length  in  front  of  Louise- 

Sallie  M.  led  in  the  second  race  until  nearing  the  home- 
stretch, then  Alexis  came  to  the  front.  Morton  ran  up  strong 
in  the  homestretch,  and  in  a  drive  Alexis  won  by  a  length, 
Morton  just  beating  Sallie  M.  a  head  for  the  place. 

The  handicap,  six  and  a  half  furlongs,  was  a  pretty  race. 
Artist  led  for  a  short  distance,  then  Motto  took  up  the  run- 
ning. She  held  her  command  until  the  last  sixteenth,  then 
Royal  Flush  came  up  and  beat  her  handily  by  a  length, 
Motto  second,  a  length  from  A_rtist.  The  time,  1:23,  was  very 
fast,  the  heavy  track  considered. 

Trix,  played  down  into  favoritism,  won  the  mile  race  with 
ease,  Dr.  Ross  getting  the  place  and  Tigress  the  show. 

Warrago  was  made  a  favorite  in  the  last  race,  and  justified 
the  good  opinion  of  her  admirers  by  winning  easily  by  three 
lengths,  Polaski  second,  as  far  from  Nellie  Van.

Frank  each  15  to  1,  Mendocino  20  tol.  The  start  was  de- 
layed by  the  bad  actions  of  Nicodemus  principally.  Finally 
the  flag  fell  to  what  might  be  termed  a  fair  start — all  well  in 
motion,  if  not  perfectly  aligned.  Sallie  M.,  with  her  light 
weight  up,  sailed  to  the  fore,  being  over  two  lengths  a  head 
at  the  quarter,  Joe  second  and  Santa  Fe  third.  A  lexis 
soon  ran  up  second,  and  at  the  heels  of  Sallie  M.  Morton  be- 
gan moving  up  like  a  cyclone,  and  the  two  ran  very  close  to- 
gether on  the  outside  up  to  the  last  forty  yards.  Here  Alexis 
began  going  away,  and  he  won  cleverly  at  the  finish  by  over

start  Artist  led,  with  Motto  second  and  Royal  Flush  third. 
Motto  went  to  the  front  soon  after  passing  the  quarter-pole, 
and  led  Realization  two  lengths  at  the  half,  Artist  having 
fallen  back  last.  Motto  led  by  two  lengths  into  the  home-

An  Unfair  Decision. 


It  has  been  decided  in  some  court  of  law  that  a  trainer  has 
no  lien  on  a  horse  for  the  value  of  what  he  may  have  done. 
This  would  seem  entirely  unreasonable  and  unjust,  and  would 
probably  not  be  upheld  by  a  higher  court  than  the  one  in 
which  the  case  may  have  been  tried.  A  carpenter  would 
have  a  lien  on  a  building  for  which  he  did,and  it  is  a  general 
rule  that  any  mechanic  has  a  claim  on  the  thing  he  may 
build,  or  make,  for  his  wages.  It  is  difficult  to  understand 
any  reason  why  a  trainer  should  not  have  a  claim  on  the 
horse  for  the  service  which  he  may  have  rendered  to  the 
owner  thereof,  and  as  a  precedent,  it  would  seem  to  be  just 
that  a  decision  be  made  in  favor  of  the  trainer  for  his  work. 
The  trainer  of  a  race  horse  takes  a  risk  as  well  as  the  owner. 
He  risks  his  time,  his  skill,  his  work,  and  he  has  no  more  as- 
surance than  has  the  owner  that  he  will  be  repaid  for  the 
risk  involved.  The  owner  owns  the  horse;  the  trainer 
simply  has  an  interest,  as  might  be  said  in  his  winning.  If 
the  horse  wins  a  large  amount  of  money,  presumably  the 
trainer  will  be  recompensed.  If  he  should  fail  to  win,  the 
trainer  would  be  censured  and.  perhapB,  not  get  anything 
more  than  merely  payment  for  his  time.  It  would,  therefore, 
seem  unfair  that  he  should  have  no  more  claim  on  the  horse 
than  a  bricklayer  would  have  on  the  building  on  which  he 
worked.  This  journal  believes  that  a  trainer,  who  takes  a 
horBe,  who  keeps  him,  who  feeds  him,  who  works  with  him, 
should  be  protected  to  the  extent,  at  least,  of  securing  an  as- 
surance that  for  the  work  he  has  done  the  money  could  be  re- 
covered.— Horse  Review. 


Racing  Not  a  Lottery. 

Brooklyn  (N.  Y.),  May  28.— Philip  J.  Dwyer,  who  was 
held  for  the  Grand  Jury  on  a  charge  of  maintaining  a  lot- 
tery, and  whose  case  was  brought  before  Judge  Gaynor  in 
the  Supreme  Court  on  a  writ  of  habeas  corpus  last  week,  was 
to-day  discharged,  on  the  ground  that  his  arrest  was  illegal 
under  the  Ives  law.    The  Judge  in  his  decision  says  : 

There  is  no  foundation  for  the  contention  that  horse-racing 
is  a  lottery.  It  is  not  a  lottery,  either  in  common  speech  or 
within  legal  definition.  Lottery  depends  on  a  lot  or  chance, 
such  as  the  casting  of  lots,  throwing  of  dice  or  the  turning  of 
a  wheel.  In  the  scheme  of  this,  racehorse  owners  do  not  pay 
a  sum  to  win  a  larger  sum  by  lot  or  chance,  but  in  order  to 
enter  into  the  contest  of  skill,  endurance  and  speed  upon 
which  the  stake  depends.  With  the  matter  as  a  moral  ques- 
tion I  have  nothing  to  do. 


Boyce   Tablets   is  the  Most   Economical   Lini- 
ment on  the  Market. 


Fleetwood  Park,  N.  Y.,  February  1,  1891. 
Boyce  Tablet  Co. — 

I  have  used  your  Tablets  for  two  years  and  have  found 
them  to  be  the  greatest  Leg  and  Body  Wash  I  have  ever 
used  and  the  cheapest  and  most  effective,  and  I  recommend  it 
to  all  who  handle  and  train  horses.  Respectfully  vours,  H. 
H.  Howard,  Trainer.  "  * 


It  is  with  horses  as  with  men — once  they  have  dropped 
from  sight  for  a  considerable  time,  it  is  generally  taken  for 
granted  that  the  Reaper  has  gathered  them  in,  says  Volun- 
teer in  Review.  It  is  a  long  time  since  that  grand  old  mare 
Rosalind,  2:21|,  by  Alexander's  Abdallah,  was  prominently 
before  the  public,  although  Robbie  P.,  2:13,  by  her  son 
Charles  Cafirey,  was  one  of  the  best  stallions  raced  in  the 
West  last  year.  I  had  supposed  that  the  old  mare  was  safe 
in  the  eternal  sunshine  and  vernal  pastures  of  the  "  happy 
hunting  grounds  "  years  ago,  and  desiring,  not  long  since,  to 
know  the  exact  date  of  her  death,  I  addressed  a  query  anent 
it  to  Mr.  Henry  N.  Smith,  executor  of  the  Fashion  Stud. 
Replying,  he  wrote,  to  my  surprise,  that  "  Rosalind  is  still 
alive  and  at  Fashion,  although  she  has  beeu  barren  for  fifteen 
years."  It  is  twenLy-nine  years  since  the  daughter  of  Abdal- 
lah and  the  Burch  Mare  first  saw  the  light.  She  was  one  of 
the  last  season's  foals  of  her  ill-starred  sire,  and  she  must  be 
ode  of  the  last  living  ones.  Indeed,  if  there  be  any  others 
left  I  am  in  ignorance  of  the  fact.  They  were  a  wonderfully 
long-lived  race,  but  in  the  course  of  time  they  have,  one  by 
one,  passed  from  the  stage.  Just  a  year  ago  Primrose  laid 
down  the  burden  of  her  years.  She  was  the  same  age  of  Rosa- 
lind, who  has  outlived  her,  but,  unlike  her  speedier  sister, 
who  had  in  all  but  tive  foals,  Primrose  was  fruitful  to  the  lastj 
and  died  in  giving  birth  to  her  twentieth.  Truly,  the  daugh- 
ters of  Abdallah  were  a  marvelous  band,  but  we  have  seen 
almost  the  last  of  them. 

Brown — "  I  understand  Smith  has  got  a  simple  and  effec- 
tive system  of  betting  on  the  races  ?  " 

Jones — "  Yes.  He  always  bets  all  he's  got  on  the  first 
race." 

Brown — "And  then?" 

Jones — "Then  he  goes  home — disgusted." — Judge.

Families  Tnat  Will  Live. 


With  the  performance  of  Boston  Boy,  in  ISIS,  when  he 
trotted  a  mile  in  three  minutes,  there  grew  up  a  strong  in- 
clination and  incentive  to  improvement  in  trotting  speed. 
Messenger  has  been  dead  a  number  of  years.  I  have  never 
seen  any  attempt  to  furnish  a  pedigree  to  this,  the  first  per- 
former to  attract  attention.  The  little  black  pony  Grand 
Barb  Bashaw  had  been  imported,  and  from  him  was  to  be 
developed  the  first  trotting  family.  Five  years  after  Boston 
Boy  had  trotted  in  3:00,  the  black  colt  Andrew  Jackson, 
afterward  numbered  4,  was  foaled ;  his  dam  was  a  pacing 
mare,  and  he  was  the  fastest  trotter  of  his  day.  In  1837 
Surry,  a  mare  from  Surry,  X.  H.,  foaled  a  black  colt  called 
Henry  Clay,  and  numbered  S.  In  1S43  Cassius  M.  Clay  was 
foaled,  and  in  this  we  have  the  Clay  family.  They  were  a 
pure-gaited  trotting  family,  and  each  in  turn  up  to  this  time 
had  held  the  record  of  his  day.  From  them  in  the  male  line 
have  come  all  the  Clays.  Black  Hawk  24,  the  Patchens  and 
the  Bashaws.  In  1833  Black  Hawk  5  was  foaled  ;  the  Ver- 
mont Morgan  had  attracted  attention  as  the  most  wonderful 
roadster,  either  in  light  harness  or  heavy  stage  coach,  and  as 
Black  Hawk  was  quite  a  trotter,  they  met  with  the  success 
their  merit  deserved.  Although  Black  Hawk  was  foaled  in 
1833,  and  the  Clays  and  Morgans  were  the  recognized  trot- 
ting families,  they  were  not  the  first  horses  to  trot  in  2:30. 
In  1845  Lady  Sufiolk  trotted  in  2:29*.  and  in  1849,  two 
pacing  bred  horses,  Pelham  and  Lady  Moscow,  were  added  to 
the  list. 

The  same  year  that  Andrew  Jackson  was  foaled,  John 
Tredwell,  over  in  Orange  county,  New  York,  had  a  horse  colt 
foaled  by  Mambrino.  son  of  Messenger,  and  out  of  a  mare  of 
unknown  breeding.  This  horse  became  quite  famous,  and 
made  stud  seasons  in  nine  states,  and  at  the  age  of  thirty-one 
died  from  neglect.  The  story  is  an  old  one,  and  well  known 
to  every  horseman.  Two  jears  after  his  death  his  first  2:30 
performer  was  driven  into  the  list  of  2:30  trotters. 
Although  making  twenty-sis  stud  seasons  and  fairly  well 
represented  by  hiB  daughters  as  producers  of  2:30  performers, 
Abdallah  would  have  passed  into  oblivion,  so  far  as  posterity 
in  the  male  line  is  concerned, had  he  not  in  1848  been  coupled 
with  the  Charles  Kent  mare.  In  1843  the  horse  known  as 
Mambrino  Paymaster  or  the  big  blind  horse,  a  coarse,  brown 
horse,  kept  in  New  York,  was  coupled  with  a  western  mare, 
and  the  produce,  a  coarse,  brown  color,  was  given  the  name 
of  Mambrino  Chief. 

The  same  year  a  gray  colt  was  foaled  by  the  black  pacing 
Canadian  horse  Pilot,  and  out  of  a  gray  pacing  mare,  Nancy 
Taylor;  he  was  called  Pilot  Jr.  This  horse  was  a  trotter, 
and  after  passing  through  several  hands  found  a  home  at 
Woodburn,  some  time  previous  to  Mr.  Clay's  sending  to  New 
York  to  secure  Mambrino  Chief.  Here  we  have  all  the  known 
trotting  families  up  to  1849,  and  our  2:30  list  was  complete 
with  one  name,  Lady  Suffolk,  2:29J. 

The  trotting  season  of  1850  opened  with  no  2:30  performer 
for  any  of  the  recognized  trotting  families.  Seventy  years  of 
the  progress  toward  the  formation  of  a  breed  of  American 
trotting  horses,  and  Abdallah  1  is  represented  by  one  son 
a  sire  and  some  producing  daughters.  The  changes  that 
have  come  in  the  standard  have  dropped  from  the  lists 
the  2:35  wagon  records,  and  the  pacing  records  between  2:30 
and  2:25.  So  the  dun  pacer  Ben  Higdon,  by  Abdallah  1, 
and  Kimball  Jackson,  son  of  Andrew  Jackson,  have  dropped 
out  of  the  book*,  and  out  of  the  memory  of  most  of  the 
turf  writers  of  to-day.  Yet  this  same  pacer  was  by  the  rec- 
ords the  fastest  colt  sired  by  Abdallah  1  and  Andrew  Jack- 
son does  not  appear  among  our  successful  sires. 

It  was  probably  the  successes  of  the  gray  horse  at  Wood- 
burn  that  induced  Mr.  Clay  to  send  to  New  York  and  pay  a 
long  price  (for  the  day)  for  Mambrino  Chief,  and  challenges 
were  the  order  of  the  day  when  the  brown  fellow  from  New 
York  found  a  home  in  Kentucky.  These  horses,  so  far  as  I 
know,  never  met,  but  the  consensus  of  opinion  was  that  the 
gray  was  the  faster  of  the  two  horses. 

The  gray  mare  succeeded  in  placing  two  more  in  the  list 
than  his  coarser  contemporary  ;  yet  with  Dan  Swigert  man- 
aging at  Woodburn,  strong  in  the  faith  that  nothing  meri- 
torious could  come  from  the  pacer,  Pilot,  Jr.,  was  not  coup- 
led with  such  mares  as  the  Bodes  mare,  and  none  of  his  2:30 
performers  have  as  fast  records  as  Lady  Thorn,  2:18},  his 
fastest  being  John  Morgan,  out  of  a  running-bred  mare.  Tatt- 
ler, his  fastest  entire  son  was  out  of  a  strictly  thoroughbred 
mare.  He  trotted  one  heat  in  2:26,  his  only  2:30  perform- 
ance. This  would  indicate  speed  without  racehorse  qualities. 
Pilot  Temple,  2:24},  out  of  the  dam  of  Flora  Temple,  proba- 
bly trotted  more  races  than  any  other  of  the  get  of  Pilot,  Jr., 
and  has  forty-four  heats  to  his  credit.  He  was  what  was 
looked  for  in  his  day  a  handy  horse,  and  often  won  by  these 
tactics.  To-day  he  would  be  ruled  out  as  a  skipper  and 
skiver,  unfit  for  a  racehorse  among  trotteas- 

In  1849  Hambletonian  10  was  foaled,  and  in  1851,  as  a  two- 
year-old,  he  was  bred  to  Katie  Darling,  a  mare  of  unknown 
breeding,  and  in  1852  was  foaled  a  bay  colt  that  was,  all 
things  considered,  the  greatest  colt  he  ever  sired. 

In  1854  Hambletonian  was  handled  enough  for  trotting 
speed  to  show  better  than  a  2:50  gait,  and  attracted  to  him  the 
best  mares  of  the  entire  country,  starting  at  a  nominal  ser- 
vice fee.  The  fee  was  advanced  from  time  to  time  until  it 
reached  $500,  and  during  his  lifetime  he  sired  1,320  colts. 
Woodburn  was  successfully  breeding  running  horses  under 
the  management  of  Mr.  Swigert,  and  they  had  Pilot  Jr.,  in 
the  stud.  In  1859  they  secured  Abdallah  15,  son  of  Ham- 
bletonian 10,  on  the  strength  of  Hambletonian's  success  in 
the  stud  of  New  York,  and  in  1860  they  bought  the  gray 
horse  Norman,  by  the  Morse  horse.  The  Morse  horse  must 
have  shown  unusual  trotting  action.  Norman  was  retained 
in  the  stud  at  Woodburn  with  Abdallah,  Pilot  Jr.  an-i  Bay 
Chief,  a  son  of  Mambrino  Chief.  It  is  not  at  all  strange  that 
there  were  few  trotters  from  the  breeding  at  the  farm  at  this 
time,  as  the  views  of  Mr.  Swigert  would  no  more  successfully 
breed  trotters  then  than  the  same  plans  would  now.  Of  the 
successful  sons  of  Abdallah,  only  three — Almont,  Belmont 
and  Shelby  Cheif— were  bred  at  Woodburn,  and  they  only 
bred  one  2:30  trotter — St.  Elmo,  2:30,  from  Abdallah  15,  and 
at  the  time  of  his  death  none  of  the  descendants  of  Ham- 
bletonian had  entered  the  2:30  list,  although  they  had  the 
prestige  of  his  sire's  list  of  three  trotters  and  one  pacer. 
From  Norman,  Woodburn  never  bred  a  2:30  trotter,  but  in  the 
daughters  of  Pilot  Jr.,  Mambrino  Chief  and  Norman  they 
had  secured  a  foundation  for  successful  business  in  later  years. 


The  successful  trotting  of  the  sons  and  daughters  of  Mam- 
brino Chief  and  Hambletonian  came  about  the  same  time, 
that  was  when  Hambletonian  was  about  twenty  years 
of  age  and  Mambrino  Chief  and  Pilot  Jr.,  were  both  dead, 
soon  after  the  close  of  the  war. 

Pilot  Jr.  left  more  daughters  that  were  successful  producers 
than  any  other  horse  of  his  day,  and  his  name  will  be  kept 
green  by  the  produce  of  his  daughters.  The  greatest  living 
sire  and  the  fastest  gelding,  by  the  records,  at  both  gaits,  are 
out  of  daughters  of  Pilot  Jr.,  after  thirty  years.  In  1854 
there  was  foaled  a  sorrel  pacing  colt  that  was  out  of  the  ordi- 
nary, he  was  a  fast  pacer.  In  Indiana  there  were  two  pacers 
attracting  unusual  attention.  They  were  Wilson's  Tom 
Crowder,  owned  by  Green  Wilson,  and  a  horse  up  near 
Crawfordsville,  called  Bed  Buck.  Mr.  Wilson's  horse  died, 
and  in  looking  around  for  something  to  take  his  place  he 
heard  of  this  sorrel  colt,  and  went  to  Kising  San,  Ind.,  and 
bought  him.  When  he  found  that  little  was  known  of  his 
dam  Mr.  Wilson  purchased  the  horse  and  took  him  to  his 
home  south  of  Shelbyville,  Ind.,  and  to  offer  something  to 
breeders  he  secured  at  Rising  Sun  affidavits  of  leading  citi- 
zens that  his  dam  was  driven  eighty -five  miles  in  daylight  of 
one  day. 

From  Green  Wilson  he  passed  into  the  hands  of  James 
Wilson  and  was  taken  to  his  farm,  three  miles  southeast  of 
Kushville,  Ind.,  where  he  remained  the  rest  of  his  days. 
While  he  was  in  Shelby  County  he  was  advertised  as  Young 
Lexington,  and  at  Rushville  was  called  Little  Sam,  and  used 
as  a  teaser  for  a  jack.  Early  in  the  seventies  his  first  per- 
former entered  the  2:30  list,  and  from  that  time  forward  until 
he  took  the  proud  position  of  the  first  horse  to  sire  fifty  2:30 
trotters  he  grew  in  popularity. 

We  have  now  the  Clays  and  their  minor  branches  the 
Bashaws,  Patchens  and  Long  Island  Black  Hawks.  In  the 
last  ten  years  of  the  nineteenth  century  there  is  nothing  in 
the  male  line  likely  to  assume  a  leading  position  as  a  sire  of 
speed.  We  have  Shawmat  and  Sultan  out  of  strongly-bred 
Hambletonian  mares,  that  are  fairly  good  sires,  yet,  as  we 
sum  up  and  look  over  all  these  families  that  will  live  on  in 
the  memory  and  history  of  American  trotting-horse  breeders, 
we  find  Blue  Bull  was  the  first  horse  to  sire  fifty  2:30  trotters, 
and  that  to-day  he  has  in  the  first  and  second  generations 
forty-five  more  standard  performers  than  any  other  sire  not 
having  Hambletonian  blood.  That  next  to  Blue  Bull  stands 
Swigert,  son  of  Norman,  with  more  standard  performers  to 
his  credit  than  any  other  horse  that  has  ever  lived  not  carry- 
ing any  of  the  blood  of  The  Hero  of  Chester.  With  two  such 
race  horse  performers  as  Lula  and  May  Queen,  and  such  a 
son  as  Swigert,  the  family  of  Norman  will  live  on  and  on 
through  the  sons  and  grandsons  of  Swigert  will  grow  brighter 
as  time  lapses.  There  is  to-day  no  question  on  Hambletonian 
or  any  branch  of  his  numerous  family,  but  the  names  of 
Mambrino  Chief.  Pilot  Jr.,  Blue  Bull  or  Vermont  Black 
Hawk  will  live  though  they  may  not  have  as  many  standard 
descendants  as  the  leading  family  of  Hambletonian.  The 
daughters  of  Alexander's  Abdallah,  Pilot  Jr.  and  Mambrino 
Chief  have  passed  away,  and  now  in  the  lead  of  the  procession 
are  the  daughters  of  Mambrino  Patchen,  Hambletonian  Al- 
mont, George  Wilkes  and  Blue  Bull.  For  the  season  of  1S93 
the  daughters  of  Blue  Bull  were  third  on  the  list,  and  the 
standard  performers  of  the  old  pacer  will  yet  number  more 
than  the  daughters  of  any  horse  living  or  dead  that  carries 
Hambletonian  blood. 

It  is  possible  with  the  popularity  of  Mambrino  Patchen  as 
a  sire  of  broodmares,  and  as  some  of  his  daughters  are  six 
years  younger  than  the  daughters  of  Blue  Bull,  that  he  may 
always  lead  the  Indiana  pacer,  but  a  careful  examination  of 
their  producing  daughters  and  the  history  of  the  families 
would  not  lead  one  to  expect  it.  Mambrino  Patchen  has  only 
about  fifty  producing  daughters  against  fifty-six  for  the 
pacer.  Blue  Bull  has  only  seven  daughters  that  have  pro- 
duced more  than  one,  while  Mambrino  Patchen  is  credited 
with  about  twice  that  number.  Mamie,  Flora,  Eheil,  Gipsey 
and  others,  now  represented  by  only  one,  are  known  to  have 
other  representatives  ready  to  enter  the  list,  and  it  is  safe  to 
say  that  the  sire  that  leads  Blue  Bull  as  a  sire  of  producing 
matrons  now  in  the  list  at  the  close  of  1894  will  be  a  great 
broodmare  sire  and  will  have  a  wonderful  reputation  for  the 
season's  work. 

The  Missouri  sire  Clinker,  younger  than  any  of  them, 
blinded  in  a  railroad  wreck,  is  a  wonderful  sire  of  speed,  and 
like  Octoroon,  Hiatoga,  Booker  and  the  Legal  Tenders,  will 
live  on  in  history,  and  probably  some  of  his  sons  will  receive 
his  power  to  transmit  speed,  and  he  is  likely  to  found  a  fam- 
ily that  will  live. — Horseman.

A  Surfeit   of  Horses. 


American  Trotting  Association. 


The  Board  of  Appeals  met  May  1,  1894,  at  the  Auditorium 
Hotel,  Chicago.  The  following  members  were  present :  W. 
P.  Ijams,  Haute,  Ind.,  president ;  G.  B.  McFall,  Oskaloosa, 
la.,  first  vice-president ;  C.  L.  Benjamin,  Saginaw,  Mich.;  N. 
J.  Colman.St.  Louis,  Mo.;  G.H.  Ely, Elvria,0.;  E.G.  Lewis, 
Ottawa,  HI.,  members  of  the  Board,  and  J.  H.  Steiner. 
Chicago,  111.,  secretary. 

The  cases  noted  below  of  interest  to  Californians  were  dis- 
posed as  follows : 

American  Trotting  Association  vs.  chestnut  mare  Allorita, 
alias  Lena  H.  The  chestnut  mare  Allorita,  while  the 
property  of  W.  J.  Officer,  performed  on  tracks  of  members  of 
the  American  Trotting  Association  in  1890  and  1891  under 
the  name  of  Lena  H.,  and  in  classes  to  which  she  was  not 
eligible.  Prior  to  the  discovery  of  the  facts  the  mare  was  pur- 
chased by  an  innocent  party,  who  gave  information  leading 
to  the  detection  of  the  fraud  and  to  the  conviction  of  the 
guilty  parties. 

Ordered,  That  the  chestnut  mare  Allorita,  alias  LenaH., 
be  suspended  until  her  unlawful  winnings  are  returned  and 
recording  fee  of  $50  paid  for  change  of  name. 

Jay  Beach,  Vancouver,  Wash.,  vs.  Van  B.  DeLashmutt 
and  H.  D.  McGuire,  Portland, Oregon.  Application  for  an 
investigation  into  the  record  of  the  brown  gelding  Hamrock 
at  Portland,  Ore.,  October  14,  1893.  Application  is  made 
on  the  ground  that  at  the  time  of  the  performance  of  the 
brown  gelding  Hamrock,  wherein  he  obtained  a  record  of 
2:22,  his  driver  was  not  weighed  and  that  the  races  were 
not  otherwise  properly  conducted.  It  is  shown  that  a  record 
was  made  in  a  special  race  at  Portland,  Ore.,  October  14, 
1893,  in  a  parse  for  named  horses,  and  although  the  driver 
of  Hamrock  was  not  weighed  in  on  the  day  of  the  race,  he 
was  over  bodily  weight  and  that  the' clerk  of  the  course  knew 
him  to  weigh  over  150  pounds.     It  is 

Ordered,  That  the  record  of  2:22  made  at  Portland,  Ore., 
Oct.  74,  1893,  stand. 

J.  O.  Gerrety,  Oskosh.  Wis.  Application  for  reinstate- 
ment from  order  of  expulsion.  The  applicant  was  expelled 
in  1892  for  unlawful  entry  and  performance  with  the  bay 
gelding  J.  B.,  alias  Joslyn,  the  bay  gelding  San  Diego,  alias 
Captain  O.,  and  the  chestnut  mare  Allorita,  alias  Lena  H. 
The  application  for  reinstatement  is  made  on  the  ground 
that  the  applicant  had  no  pecuniary  interest  whatever  in  the 
horses  ;  that  he  was  an  employe  working  by  the  month  for 
the  owner  of  said  horses,  W.  J.  Officer,  Tracy,  Minn.,  and 
that  under  the  circumstances  his  punishment  had  been  suffi- 
cient for  the  offense. 

Ordered,  That  in  view  of  the  punishment  already  inflicted 
aud  the  apparent  reformation  of  the  applicant,  he  be  tempor- 
arily reinstated  during  good  behavior. 

P.  J.  Doyle,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Cal.  Application  for  rein- 
statement from  expulsion.  Applicant  was  expelled  by  order 
of  the  member  at  Los  Angeles,  Cal.,  October  21,  1891,  for 
"pulling"  the  mare  Miss  Monroe.  Application  is  made  on 
the  ground  that  the  applicant  has  been  sufficiently  punished; 
that  he  was  ignorant  and  influenced  by  parties  who  have  not 
been  punished.  The  member  and  the  judges  of  the  race  rec- 
ommend reinstatement- 
Ordered,  That  the  application  be  granted. 

Room  at  the  Top. 


About  forty  miles  above  Buenos  Ayres  there  is  a  large 
green  island  in  the  La  Plata,  which  in  the  colonial  days  was 
the  horse  ranch  of  some  wealthy  nabob.  The  animals  finally 
became  so  numerous  that  there  was  not  grass  enough  to  feed 
them  properly,  and  as  there  was  no  demand  for  their  export, 
the  owner  determined  to  reduce  their  number  iu  a  most  bar- 
barous way,  viz.,  by  se'.ting  the  grass  on  fire  during  the  dry 
season.  The  result  of  this  method  of  reducing  stock  was  a 
little  more  complete  than  he  anticipated,  and  every  horse  on 
the  island  was  burned  to  death,  except  the  few  that  ran  into 
the  mighty  river  which  hemmed  them  in  and  were  drowned. 
Afterward  the  stench  was  so  unbearable  that  for  many  weeks 
navigation  on  the  La  Plata  was  almost  entirely  suspended. 
After  awhile  when  the  grass  grew  up  again,  the  owner  bought 
new  horses  and  attempted  to  start  afresh.  But  they  all  died 
very  soon  of  a  strange  disease  never  heard  of  before.  He  tried 
it  again  and  again,  always  with  the  same  result,  for,  singu- 
larly enough,  every  horse  that  has  been  placed  on  that  island 
since  that  wicked  conflagration  has  died  from  the  same  mys- 
terious disease.  To  this  day,  nearly  two  centuries  later,  not 
a  colt  has  ever  been  foaled  there,  and  although  various  breeds 
of  stock  have  been  tried,  in  a  few  weeks  not  one  of  them  is 
left  alive.  Then  a  superstitious  terror  seized  the  people — a 
sort  of  nightmare,  mavbe — and  for  sixty  years  or  so  nobody 
set  foot  upon  the  accursed  island.  Nowadays  it  is  used  as  a 
cattle  farm,  for  horned  cattle  are  not  subject  to  the  mysteri- 
ous malady  ;  but  there  are  no  horses  there. — Buenos  Ayres

when  the  age  of  Director  is  taken  into  account.  The  black 
stallion  is  also  the  sire  of  the  two  fastest  stallions  in  the 
world  at  the  trot  and  pace,  Directum  and  Direct.  The  fam- 
ily holds  more  world's  records  than  are  to  the  credit  of  the 
get  of  any  other  sire.  Lastly,  and  best  of  all,  the  honors  of 
the  Directors  were  won  in  races  against  other  horses.  Here 
are  the  horses  referred  to  as  winning  more  than  $100,000  •

The  developed-dam  idea  comes  out  strongly  in  this  tabula- 
tion, and  it  is  all  the  more  remarkable  and  worthy  of  con- 
sideration from  the  fact  that  these  trotters  and  a  pacer 
by  Director  were  youthful  champions  aa  well  as  extraor- 
dinarily fast  horses,  Directum  being  five  when  his  best  mark 
was  made,  Evangeline  four,  Margaret  S.  four,  and  Director's 
Flower  two.  The  only  one  of  the  lot  that  is  not  from  a  de- 
veloped dam  was  Evangeline,  and  the  mare  that  produced 
her  was  certainly  potent,  as  she  is  also  the  dam  of  Dele- 
gate, 2:27*.  She  is  by  Red  Wilkes,  a  2:30  trotter  when  a 
colt,  so  that  it  is  easy  enough  to  see  where  the  speed  inheri- 
tance cornea  from  on  that  side  of  the  pedigree.  If  the  Di- 
rectors did  not  stand  head  and  shoulders  above  every  other 
family  of  trotters  when  it  comes  to  the  question  of  producing 
really  great  racehorse  trotters  this  matter  of  developed  dams 
would  not  cut  so  much  of  a  figure,  but  when  all  the  really 
great  ones  of  the  tribe  have  this  fact  prominent  in  the  fe- 
male line  of  the  pedigree  it  can  neither  be  ignored  nor  ex- 
plained away.  Director  himself  was  as  game  a  race  horse  as 
ever  looked  through  a  bridle.  He  had  far  more  than  average 
speed,  his  record  of  2:17  to  a  high-wheel  sulky  showing  this, 
but  it  was  his  bulldog  determination  rather  than  his  speed  that 
won  him  fame  on  the  turf.  It  took  a  trotter  with  at  least  two 
seconds  more  speed  to  the  mile  than  the  black  son  of  Dictator 
to  beat  the  little  horse.  Wet  track  or  dry  made  no  difference 
with  him.  Since  those  days  John  Goldsmith  has  driven 
many  a  faster  trotter,  perhaps,  than  Director,  but  he  nor  any 
other  man  ever  pulled  the  lines  over  a  gamer  one.  That  the 
sons  of  Director,  or  at  least  some  of  them,  will  outbreed  their 
sire  is  the  belief  of  every  man  who  has  seen  the  young  Di- 
rects at  Pleasanton.  If  nothing  befalls,  there  will  be  a  couple 
of  two-year-olds  by  the  little  black  stallion  that  made  a  record 
of  2:05*  pacing,  and  beat  2:19  trotting,  come  East  with  the 
Salisbury  stable  this  spring.  There  is  no  reason  why  Direct 
should  not  be  even  more  successful  in  siring  speed  than  Di- 
rector has  been,  and  every  reason  why  he  should  be.  His  sire 
is  certainly  as  well  equipped  as  was  Director,  and  the  dam  of 
Direct  has  a  better  license  to  throw  speed  than  had  Dolly,  the 
coarse  daughter  of  Mambrino  Chief  that  produced  Director, 
Onward  and  other  trotters.  Improvement  is  what  the  breeder 
of  the  trotting  horse  is  aiming  at,  and  no  matter  what  phe- 
nomenons  in  the  way  of  trotters  and  pacers  each  season  brings 
forth  there  will  always  be  a  chance  for  something  still  better 
until  the  zenith  of  endeavor  is  reached,  which  will  probablv 
he  somewhere  about  the  two-minute  point. — The  Breeders'

[June  2, 1894 


Palo  Alto  as  a  Race  Horse,  and   Dame  "Winnie 
as  a  Broodmare. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — In  the  American 
Horseman  and  Sportsman  of  March  29,  1894,  there  appears 
an  article  by  Chas.  T.  Harris, "  How  to  Improve  the  Trotler." 
I  quote  from  the  article  that  portion  relating  to  Palo  Alto 
and  Dame  Winnie,  which  I  will  reply  to: 

In  the  lace  of  there  being  a  tixwd  trotting  type,  the  most  successful 
representatives  of  which  the  register  shows  to  be  bred  indistinct 
trotting  Hues,  there  are  advocates  for  the  constant  introduction  of 
racehorse  or  thoroughbred  blood  as  a  means  of  still  improving  the 
type.  When  asked  to  ci  le  an  instance  wherein  the  crossing  of  a 
trotting  sire  on  a  thoroughbred  mare,  or  vice  versa,  has  resulted  in 
a  great  trotting  performer,  they  invariably  fallback  on  Palo  Alto, 
£0S&.  It  is  conceded  that  Palo  Alto  was  by  a  trotting  sire,  out  of  a 
strictly  thoroughbred  dam  ;  but  was  he  a  great  performer  ?  He  de- 
feated Jack,  Rosalind  Wilkes,  Houri,  and  Susie  S.  in  contested  races, 
all  outclassed  horses,  and  after  repealed  trials  against  bis  record, 
212'.,,  linallr  succeeded  in  beating  it.  Those  who  saw  this  horse  in 
his  races  and  trials  against  time  will  remember  an  animal  booted  to 
the  body  and  carrying  weight  that  did  not  improve  his  feet  to  any 
extent.  When  in  the  mood,  he  could  trot  a  mile  steadily,  but  a  steady 
mile  was  exceptional.  Contrasted  with  trotting-bred  horses,  he  was 
a  sight.  His  dam.  Dame  Winnie,  produced  two  other  2:30  performers 
of  mediocre  speed,  and,  although  a  member  of  the  Great  Brood  Mare 
list,  does  not  compare  with  dozens  of  trotting-bred  mares  as  a  pro- 
ducer of  speed.  Marvin  has  never  related  his  personal  experience 
with  Palo  Alto,  but  I  venture  to  say  that  that  much-lauded  horse 
gave  him  more  trouble  to  train  and  balance  than  all  the  other  horses 
he  ever  handled  put  together.  As  a  sire.  Palo  Alto  is  a  greater  suc- 
cess than  as  a  trotter.  He  is  credited  with  four  2:30  performers,  all 
out  of  trottiug-bred  mares,  and  the  four  (all  under  five  years  of  age) 
have  records  better  than  the  other  two  performers  produced  by  Dame 
Winnie.  This  fact  leads  to  a  strong  inference  that  the  further  back 
the  thoroughbred  cross  the  faster  and  more  consistent  the  trotter. 
This  is  written  with  no  derogatory  ieeliug  against  the  racehorse.  No 
one  esteems  the  bigh-mettled,  aristocratic  galloper  more  than  the 
writer,  but  to  advocate  the  reiutroduction  of  his  blood  in  the  trotting 
hone  seems  like  recommending  the  student  of  Holy  Writ  to  begin  at 
Revelation  and  read  back  to  Genesis." 

In  replying  to  the  above,  it  will  be  necessary  to  review  the 
performances  of  Palo  Alto.  Horsemen  base  their  opinion  as 
to  whether  a  horse  is  a  great  performer  or  not  by  his  public 
performances. 

In  1884  Palo  Alto  trotted  an  exhibition  mile  as  a  two-year- 
old  in  2:23  J.  As  a  three-year-old  he  was  not  in  condition  to 
start,  but  in  18S6,  as  a  four-year-old,  he  faced  in  the  East  all 
kinds  of  company  from  the  three  minute  to  the  2:20 
class,  winning  eight  out  of  nine  starts,  defeating  aged  and 
well-seasoned  trotters  in  hotly -con  tested  races  of  four  and  six 
heats,  getting  a  four-year-old  record  in  a  sixth  heat  of  2:20$. 
In  connection  with  Palo  Alto's  campaign  of  1886  as  a  four- 
year-old,  I  quote  a  passage  from  "Training  the  Trotting 
Horse,"  an  interesting  and  valuable  work  published  by  Chas. 
Marvin,  the  driver  of  Palo  Alto  in  all  of  his  performances: 

"This  campaign  showed  him  to  be  a  true  and  game  four- 
year-old  race  horse.  Out  of  nine  starts  he  scored  eight  vic- 
tories. He  had,  like  all  horses,  his  peculiarities.  He  gen- 
erally had  to  trot  a  heat  in  company  before  he  was  ready  to 
go  out  for  the  money,  and  in  driving  him  you  had  to  strike  a 
very  happy  medium.  He  required  vigorous  and  constant 
driving,  but  there  was  a  line  beyond  wbich  it  meant  disaster 
to  go.  He  could  not  be  driven  with  an  overcheck;  he  liked  a 
side-check  with  an  independent  snaflle  bit.  His  gait  is  good 
and  pure,  carrying  ten  ounce  shoes  in  front  and  five  behind, 
and  the  usual  protecting  boots  all  around.  Notwithstanding 
that  his  dam  is  thoroughbred,  he  is  a  good-headed  horse,  be- 
ing certainly  as  steady  as  the  average  purely  trotting-bred 
horse,  and  showing  certainly  no  more  disposition  to  leave  hi6 
feet  under  hard  pressure  than  fast  trotters  usually  do." 

In  1887  and  1888  Palo  Alto  did  not  face  the  starter.  In 
1889  he  was  unbeaten,  winning  6ve  races,  getting  a  record  of 
2:13J  in  a  third  heat,  and  later  on*  reduced  his  record  to 
2:12},  within  one-quarter  of  a  second  of  the  stallion  record. 
In  1890  Palo  Alto  was  sent  over  East  to  battle  with  the 
giants,  and  at  Buffalo  after  losing  two  heats  in  2:18*,  2:16i, 
defeated  Rosalind  Wilkes,  Jack  and  Susie  S.  in  2:16$,  2:16, 
2:15.  At  Detroit  he  defeated  Susie  S.  and  Houri  in  2:15$,  2:17, 
2:16|.  At  the  same  place  he  was  defeated  by  Jack  a  "match 
race  in  2:15$,  2:134,  2:15,  2:16,  Palo  Alto  winning  the  second 
heat. 

At  Chicago  Palo  Alto  reversed  the  defeat  of  Detroit,  beat- 
ing Jack  in  straight  heats  in  2:18},  2:15,  2:13.  This  mile  was 
within  three  quarters  of  a  second  of  his  record  against  time, 
and  being  made  in  a  third  heat,  showed  him  to  be  a  better 
horse  when  the  money  was  up  than  against  time.  Several 
times  later  on  he  started  to  lower  his  record  of  2:12},  but  was 
not  successful,  trotting,  however,  several  fast  miles. 

Id  1891  it  was  decided  not  to  send  a  stable  from  Palo  Alto 
Stock  Farm  East,  and  Palo  Alto  outclassing  the  free-for-all 
horses  in  California,  he  was  started  to  lower  his  record  of 
2:12}.  At  the  first  attempt  he  failed,  trotting  in  2:12$  ;  at 
the  second  trial  he  went  the  mile  in  2:11};  the  third  mile 
was  2:10;  the  fourth,  2:09J.  In  the  next  attempt  to  beat 
2:09$  he  failed,  but  trotted  two  heats  in  2:10},  2:093-  Novem- 
ber 16th,  to  beat  2:09$,  trotted  in  2:10$,  and  on  November 
17,  1891,  he  became  the  stallion  king,  trotting  a  mile  in 
2:08|  to  the  high-wheel  sulky. 

I  answer  the  question  of  Charles  T.  Harris  with  the  record 
of  Palo  Alto's  performances.  That  Jack,  Rosalind  Wilkes, 
Houri  and  Susie  S-  were  outclassed  horses  in  the  year  1890, 
the  records  do  not  substantiate.  Jack  had  a  record  of  2*12$ 
Rosalind  Wilkes  2:14$,  Susie  S.  2:15$,  and  Houri  2:17.  That 
they  were  entered  throughout  the  circuit  in  the  free-for-all 
classes,  and  were  contestants  for  the  supremacy,  is  sufficient 
evidence  to  show  that  they  were  looked  upon  as  the  pick  of 
America. 

The  fastest  mile  trotted  in  a  race  in  1890  was  2:13  in  a  third 
heat  by  Palo  Alto.  This  is  evidence  that  he  was  a  great  per- 
former. I  cannot  imagine  how  any  horseman  could  gel  Palo 
Alto  in  his  eye  in  any  other  way  except  as  a  grand  individ- 
ual. He  wore,  as  Mr.  Marvin  says,  the  usual  protecting  boots 
all  round,  and  was  shod  with  ten  ounces  forward  and  five 
behind,  certainly  not  excessive  weight  for  more  than  a  half 
thoroughbred  when  compared  with  sixteen  and  eighteen 
ounces  worn  by  some  of  the  great  trotting-bred  onefi.  Were 
Mr.  Marvin  to  relate  his  experience  in  handling  Palo  Alto 
be  would  tell  of  the  difficulty  under  which  he  labored  trying 
to  beat  the  world  with  an  unsound  horse.  How  at  times,  in 
order  to  meet  his  engagements,  he  was  forced  to  work  him 
when  every  step  the  game  horse  took  was  not  only  painful  to 
himself,  but  to  Marvin  also.  There  was  no  trouble  to  train 
Palo  Alto  other  than  what  his  unsoundness  made.  IK-  was 
balanced  when  he  was  foaled,  and  a  natural  trotter,  always 
willing,  and  with  a  heart  of  steel  and  unflinching  courage,  he 
trotted  many  u  hard  heat  and  trial  under  disadvantages  that 
would  have  m  .!e  other  horses  falter.  It  wax  Marvin's 
knowledge  of  the*e  superior  qualities  that  made  him  cling  to 


Palo  Alto,  and  after  defeating  the  cracks  of  both  east  and 
west  to  train  on  and  gain  the  champion  stallion  record  of  the 
world,  an  honor  he  carried  to  the  grave. 

The  reference  made  by  Mr.  Harris  to  Dame  Winnie,  the 
illustrious  dam  of  Palo  Alto,  is  liable  to  mislead,  for  in  fact 
but  few  trotting-bred  broodmares  compare  with  her.  Her 
first  foal  of  1879  by  Smuggler  died  when  a  few  days  old.  In 
1880  she  was  barren.  In  1881  she  foaled  Big  Jim,  2:23A,  by 
Gen.  Benton.  In  1882,  Palo  Alto,  2:08|,  by  Electioneer.  In 
1883,  Gertrude  Russell,  2:23$,  by  Electioneer.  In  1884,  the 
fast  race  horse  Diavolo,  by  Shannon.  In  1885,  barren.  In 
1386,  Winna  S.,  by  Electioneer.  In  1887,  Paola,  2: 28 f,  by 
Electioneer.  In  1888  and  1889,  barren.  In  1890,  Altivo, 
who  is  entered  through  the  Eastern  circuit  this  year.  In 
1891,  Pacheco,  a  very  promising  three-year-old. 

Dame  Winnie  has  had  in  all  eight  foals,  one  a  thorough- 
bred, and  he  was  a  race  horse.  Of  the  six  by  trotting  stal- 
lions five  have  shown  their  ability  to  trot  fast.  The  gelding, 
Big  Jim,  was  handled  by  Mr.  Jas.  Nolan  ;  he  is  very  posi- 
tive in  saying  that  he  could  have  driven  him  a  mile  in  2:15. 
His  record  of  2:23$  is  far  from  mediocre;  under  the  present 
way  of  going  it  would  be  as  good  as  2:20.  Gertrude  Russell's 
record  of  2:23$  is  not  to  be  cast  aside  when  we  consider  the 
trotler  of  1888.  Paola,  2:28$,  is  in  training  this  year  and 
may  add  to  the  speed  already  produced  by  Dame  Winnie. 
Altivo  is  considered  good  enough  to  send  East  this  year  to 
start  in  the  four-year-old  stakes,whiIePacheco,three-year-old, 
looks  and  acts  like  a  trotter. 

Give  the  good  thoroughbred  mare  Dame  Winnie,  who  now 
lies  at  rest  in  one  of  .the  most  beautiful  spots  of  Palo  Alto, 
the  credit  she  has  so  jubtly  earned.  She  has  had  but  eight 
foals  that  reached  an  age  to  be  handled.  Of  this  number 
one,  a  thoroughbred,  has  gained  recognition  as  a  race  horse. 
Of  her  other  seven  by  trotting  stallions  four  have  beaten  2:30 
with  an  average  speed  of  2:21,  while  two  others,  Altivo  and 
Pacheco,  have  shown  their  ability  to  trot  fast. 

There  have  been  but  sixteen  mares  in  all  America  that 
have  produced  performers  that  have  beaten  2:10.  Taking 
extreme  speed  for  comparison,  a  proper  one,  for  a  mare  that 
produces  a  king  or  queen,  must  certainly  rank  higher  than 
mares  producing  princes  or  ladies  in  waiting  it  will  not  be 
found  that  dozens  of  trotting-bred  mares  compare  with 
Dame  Winnie. 

Nancy  Lee  produced  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04;  Stemwinder, 
Directum,  2:05},  and  Electrina,  2:20.  Atlanta  was  the  dam 
of  Alix. 

Manette  produced  Arion,  2:07$,  and  Oro  Fino,  2:18;  Even- 
tide, Kremlin,  2:07$,  Erin,  2:24$,  and  Evermond,  2:28. 

Ella  produced  Martha  Wilkes,  2:08,  and  Prince  Egbert, 
2:27*.     Loto  was  the  dam  of  Pixley,  2:08}. 

Waxana  produced    Sunol,   2:08},  Gen.  Wellington,  2:30. 

Jenny  produced  Hulda,  2:08A,  Gus  Spreckels,  2:30,  Grade 
S.,  2:22. 

Nell,  produced  Belle  Vara,  2:0S$,  Georgette,  2:27,  Light- 
hall,  2:25$,  Vassar,  trotting,  2:21$,  pacing,  2:11$. 

Honora  was  the  dam  of  Fantasy  (3),  2:08$ . 

Miss  Russell  produced  Maud  S.,  2:08$ ;  Nutwood,  2:18$  ; 
Rustique,  2:18$,  Cora  Belmont,  2:24$  and  Russia,  2:28. 

Fleetwing  produced  Stamboul,  2:07*,  Ruby,  2:19$;  Gret- 
chen,  Nelson,  2:09,  Edwin  P.,  pacer,  2:24,  "Rolfe,  2:24  and 
Susie  Owen,  2:26. 

Gussie  WilkeB  produced  Allerton,  2:09}  and  Barnhart  (3), 
2:22$. 

Harry  Clay  was  the  dam  of  Harrietta,  2:09$. 

Dame  Winnie  produced  Palo  Alto,  2:08$,  Big  Jim,  2:23*, 
Gertrude  Russell,  2:23$,  and  Paola,  2:28$. 

To  show  how  these  great  broodmares  rank  in  the  produc- 
tion of  trotters,  let  us  make  a  comparison  by  taking  those  that 
have  produced  a  trotter  with  a  record  better  than  2:10,  and 
two  or  more  trotters  better  than  2:30. 

We  find  there  are  but  six  mares  that  can  enter  into  this 
comparison.     They  rank  as  follows : 

Miss  Russell  (5),  average  speed,  2:19;  Gretchen  (3),  aver- 
age speed,  2:19;  Eventide  (3),  average  speed,  2:20;  Jenny  (3), 
average  speed,  2:20 ;  Dame  Winnie  (4);  average  speed,  2:21 ; 
Nell  (4),  average  speed,  2:21. 

This  comparison  certainly  shows  that  Dame  Winnie  does 
compare  favorably  with  the  greatest  of  trotting-bred  brood- 
mares, while  they  are  far  short  of  dozens  that  can  be  compared 
with  her.  That  portion  of  Mr.  Hams'  article  where  he  says: 
"As  a  sire  Palo  Alto  is  a  greater  success  than  as  a  trotter  ; 
that  he  is  credited  with  four  2:30  performers  all  out  of  trot- 
ting-bred mares,  and  the  four  (all  under  five  years  of  age) 
have  records  better  than  the  other  two  performers  produced 
by  Dame  Winnie,"  is  not  a  fact,  as  far  as  the  records  men- 
tioned is  concerned.  His  four  in  the  list  are  Avena  (2), 
2:19$  ;  Fillmore  (3),  2:21$  ;  Rio  Alto  (2),  2:22$  and  Palatine, 
(2),  2:23$.  The  other  two  of  Dame  Winnie's  performers  re- 
ferred to  by  Sir.  Harris  are  Big  Jim,  2:23$  and  Gertrude  Rus- 
sell, 2:23$,  both  records  made  to  high  wheel  sulkies.  That 
Palo  Alto  will  become  famous  as  a  sire  there  can  be  no  reason- 
able doubt,  and  if  be  ranks  as  well  as  a  sire  as  he  did  a  race 
horse,  he  will  be  well  up  with  the  great  sires,  considering  the 
small  opportunity  he  will  have  in  number  of  foals  to  be 
handled.  The  total  numberof  foals  by  Palo  Alto  is  forty-four. 
Several  of  these  have  fallen  into  hands  where  they  may  never 
be  trained,  while  two  at  Palo  Alto  having  been  injured  as 
yearlings,  will  never  have  a  harness  on.  This  will  leaveabout 
thirty-five  of  his  get  that  may  reach  the  trainer's  hands.  The 
popularity  of  Palo  Alto  as  a  race  horse  caused  bis  produce 
that  have  been  sold  to  command  good  prices  for  an  untried 
sire,  nine  of  his  get  averaging  in  hard  times  seventeen  hun- 
dred and  seven  dollars.  I  expect  the  facts  herein  presented 
will  convince  Mr.  Harris  that  Palo  Alto  was  a  great  per- 
former and  that  Dame  Winnie  is  a  better  mare  than  he  gave 
her  credit  for.  Rio  Alto. 


Is  Your  Mare  Barren  ? 


It  may  be  all  that  you  need  to  get  her  with  foal  is  to  use 
i  impregnator.     It  is  worth  trying.  Lyford's  improved  im- 
pregnators  and  dilators  are  the  best,  and  are  frequently  ef- 
fective when  everything  else  has  failed.  Several  sets  for  sale

From  Westfield  Leader  (N.  J.) :  I  have  had  an  opportun- 
ity to  examine  "  Absorbine,"  manufactured  by  W.F.  Young, 
Meriden,  Conn.,  and  find  it  to  be  a  discutient  in  which  full 
confidence  can  be  placed.  It  removes  all  Puff;,  and  Swellings, 
from  a  Skin  Roll  to  a  Fatty  Tumor,  and  at  the  same  time  it 
strengthens  the  muscles  without  doing  the  least  injury  to  the 
tissues,  or  even  to  the  hair.  I  am  much  pleased  with  it, and 
could  not  suggest  anything  more  preferable.  W.  H.  Morse,

Names  That  "Will  Not  Perish. 


There  are  names  among  all  the  minor  families  Lhat  will  live 
on  and  be  conspicuous  guide  posts  in  the  formation  of  the 
great  whole — "  The  breed  of  American  trotting  horses."  It 
is  not  important  that  in  a  comparison  Almont  and  Belmont 
the  two  great  sons  of  Abdallah  15,  Almont  has  decidedly  the 
advantage  in  the  number  of  sons  that  have  aired  standard 
speed.  Nor  that  in  a  comparison  that  Mambrino  Chief  and 
Blue  Bull  that  the  latter  has  nearly  twice  as  many  sons  that 
added  to  the  standard  lists.  Norman  25,  probably  better 
known  as  Alexander's  Norman,  sired  but  two  standard  per- 
formers, both  of  them  were  race  horses,  and  are  in  the  list  of 
2:20  performers.  Norman  was  foaled  about  the  time  that 
Mambrino  Chief  made  his  appearance,  and  several  years  be- 
fore Rysdyk's  Hambletonian.  Blackwood,  hi6  son,  trotted 
in  2:31  as  a  three -year-old,  and  called  attention  to  the  family 
of  his  sire  in  1869.  Swigert,  another  of  his  sons,  opportunity 
considered,  is  one  of  the  greatest  sires  ever  foaled  from  a 
Mambrino  Chief  mare.  These  names  will  live  on  among  the 
great  ones.  One  more  name  in  the  family  of  Norman  will 
live  on,  and  that  is  Alice  Drake,  dam  of  three  in  the  standard 
list,  and  has  one  son  a  sire,  and  whose  daughters  are  credited 
with  four. 

In  the  family  of  Bashaw  (50)  we  have  the  potent  blood 
that  gave  us  Hambletonian.  Through  the  same  mare,  and  in 
the  family,  we  have  several  names  that  will  live.  Amboy  was 
oaly  fourteen  years  of  age  when  he  died,  yet  he  is  credited 
with  ten  trotters,  and  five  of  his  sons  have  sired  standard  per- 
formers. Bashaw  Belle  is  another  name  that  will  live.  She 
is  the  dam  of  four  in  the  list,  and  her  daughters  have  two 
more. 

In  the  St.  Lawrence,  we  have  Belle  of  Clarence  with  six  in 
the  list.  She  is  simply  credited  to  Finch's  St.  Lawrence. 

In  the  family  of  Flaxtail  there  seems  to  be  no  son  on 
whom  the  mantle  of  his  greatness  falls,  but  his  daughters  are 
conspicuous  among  the  great  broodmares.  Mary  is  the  dam 
of  two,  and  her  son  Sterling  is  far  and  away  the  best  son  of 
Egmont,  and  her  daughter  Lettie  is  already  in  the  great 
broodmare  list.  Fernleaf  has  been  a  dam  of  record-breakers. 
The  first  two-year-old  stallion  to  trot  in  2:25  was  her  son 
Shamrock.  The  first  four-year  old  to  pace  better  than  2:12 
was  her  daughter  Goldleaf,  2:11},  and  the  greatest  sire  yet 
Bired,  judged  by  his  crop  of  four  colts,  sired  as  a  two-year-old, 
is  Thistle,  sire  of  three  out  of  four  with  records  at  three  years 
of  age  from  2:12$  to  2:21$.  The  name  of  Fernleaf  will  live 
as  long  as  trotting  history  is  written.  The  great  broodmares 
in  the  Pilot  Jr.  family  are  conspicuous,  and  no  history  of  the 
trotters  could  be  written  that  did  not  take  in  the  names  of 
Miss  Russell,  Waterwitch,  the  two  great  sisters  Tackey  and 
Dixie,  Crop  and  Midnight.  The  greatest  fifteen-year-old  sire 
yet  foaled  is  also  the  greatest  son  of  Happy  Medium,  two  of 
the  daughters  of  Dixie  are  already  in  the  great  broodmare 
list,  and  the  family  of  Minerva  is  also  likely  to  take  a  front 
rank,  John  H.  Wallace  once,  speakiog  of  Pilot  Jr.  and  Blue 
Bull,  said :  "The  daughters  of  Blue  Bull  would  be  as  much 
greater  than  the  daughters  of  Pilot  Jr.,  as  Blue  Bull  himself 
as  a  sire  was  greater  than  Pilot  Jr."  Already  is  the  truth  of 
his  statement  being  demonstrated.  Bertie  is  represented 
with  a  2:12$  trotter.  Carrie  Blackwood  has  two  in  the  2:12 
list,  and  the  total  of  his  producing  daughters  is  four  times  as 
great  as  the  producing  daughters  of  Pilot  Jr.  The  daugh- 
ters of  his  sons  have  already  passed  the  daughters  of  the  sons 
of  Pilot  Jr.,  and  among  the  names  of  producing  daughters  of 
sons  of  Blue  Bull  are  Schaible  Girl,  by  Bobby,  dam  of  three, 
the  youngest  mare  in  the  great  broodmare  list ;  Jennie  Red- 
wood, by  Redwood,  son  of  Blue  Bull,  dam  of  two;  Nellie  Mc, 
by  Blue  Vein,  dam  of  two  by  different  sires ;  while  Jim  Wil- 
son, Harry  B.  and  Shrader  are  all  sires  of  producing  dams. 
There  is  not  a  name  among  these  that  will  not  live  on. 

In  the  family  of  Roger  Hanson  we  have  the  name  of  Shir- 
ley, dam  of  two  in  the  2:20  list,  one  of  them  with  a  standard 
trotting  record,  one  by  a  son  of  Electioneer  and  one  by 
Princeton.  The  Legal  Tender  family  will  be  kept  bright  by 
the  name  of  Lowland  Girl,  dam  of  Dancourt,  and  her  full 
brother  that  entered  the  list  in  1893.  Bayard  is  the  best  son 
of  Pilot  Jr.,  and  is  represented  by  the  great  mare  Kitty  Bay- 
ard, the  fastest  race-record  on  a  half-mile  track  2:12$,  and 
Bayard  Wilkes  and  his  sister,  dam  of  Diabolo,  2:09$,  stand 
to  the  credit  of  his  daughter  Barcena.  Thenames  of  the 
great  sons  of  the  minor  families,  and  the  names  of  the  great 
producing  dams  of  minor  families  will  live 
on.  The  dam  of  Reno's  Baby  and  his  brother  and  sister  all 
in  the  standard  list  of  pacers,  and  Possum  Pie  and  her  great 
family,  and  Shadow  and  Ella  Hopkins,  and  Gray  Fanny  only 
by  Octaroon  will  live  on,  and  their  greatness  will  grow  when 
those  who  advise  breeding  trotters,  by  selection  from  the 
great  families  of  Hambletonian  and  Mambrino  Chief  and 
discarding  all  pacing  blood,  are  forgotten. 

We  have  always  bred  some  of  our  best  racehorses  outside 
of  these  lines  to  Messenger,  and  we  shall  continue  to  do  so, 
and  they  will  be  from  the  great  descendants  of  the  minor 
families. — Horseman.

No  man  should  enter  the  judges  stand  that  does  not  fully 
understand  the  rules  governing  races.  They  are  just  as  bad 
or  even  worse  than  a  horse  brought  to  the  wire  for  the  word 
in  a  trotting  class  that  does  not  know  how  to  act.  A  heavy 
fine  imposed  on  the  association  imposing  on  the  good  nature

Direct  as  a  Sire. 


Jose  H.  Neal,  Superintendent  of  the  Pleasanton  Stock 
Farm,  writes  to  the  Chicago  Horseman  as  follows :  In  your 
issae  of  April  26  Major  Domo  has  quite  a  lengthy  piece  relat- 
ing to  the  breeding-on  capacity  of  some  of  the  trotting-bred 
pacers.  It  is  cot  my  intention  to  question  or  contest  the 
grounds  taken  by  Major  Domo,  except  in  case  of  one  or  two 
named  by  him.  As  the  horse  Diablo,  2:09},  is  one  of  them, 
I  will  simply  say  that  Diablo  never  served  a  mare  before  the 
spring  of  1892,  and  as  his  oldest  colts  are  but  yearlings,  no- 
body can  expect  to  see  any  public  speed  from  his  produce 
yet.  In  relation  to  Direct,  as  I  have  been  many  years  at  the 
former  home  of  Director,  and  have  seen  most  of  his  Califor- 
nia bred  offspring  developed  I  think  I  am  in  a  position  to 
know  what  I  am  saying,  when  I  state  that  just  as  sure  as  old 
Director  was  and  is  siring  racehorses,  just  so  sure  is  Direct 
outbreeding  Ms  sire.  I  base  my  judgment  on  the  following 
fact :  Direct  never  served  a  mare  before  the  season  of  1391, 
so  his  oldest  colts  can  be  but  two  this  spring.  There  were  but 
six  of  them  from  his  first  year  in  the  stud — four  out  of  the 
six  trotters.  Two  of  the  six  were  taken  badly  with  distemper 
in  the  fall  after  weaning,  and  were  not  worked  at  all  in  the 
spring  of  their  yearling  form.  The  other  four  were 
worked  with  the  following  result.  One  year  ago  at  this 
time,  before  our  campaigners  were  sent  East,  one,  a  pacer. 
showed  a  quarter  in  35i  seconds.  He  is  called  Directly, 
and  is  quite  heavily  engaged  this  year  in  the  two-year-old 
pacing  stakes  in  the  East.  He  has  shown  us  halves  at  the 
same  rate  of  speed  this  spring  as  he  went  quarters  last 
spring.  A  second  called  Miss  Kate  showed  us  quarters  in 
yearling  form  in  36A  seconds,  trotting.  She  is  quite  heavily 
engaged  in  the  two-year-old  events  in  the  East  and  as  good  a 
filly  as  Director's  Flower  was  last  season.  I  think  I  am  per- 
fectly right  in  saying  that  Miss  Kate  will  be  better  this  season 
from  what  I  have  seen.  A  third  showed  a  quarter  in  38J 
seconds  in  her  yearling  form,  and  a  fourth,  out  of  a  thorough- 
bred mare,  a  quarter  in  39i  seconds.  Mind  you,  this  is  in 
the  spring  of  their  yearling  form  and  not  in  the  fall  just  be- 
fore the  snow  flew.  If  this  is  not  good  enough  for  a  starter  I 
do  not  know  what  anybody  can  ask.  There  were  but  six 
colts  the  first  year,  and  but  four  of  them  worked,  and  all 
four,  one  pacer,  the  other  three  trotters,  showing  quarters  in- 
side of  forty  seconds  in  the  Spring  of  their  yearling  form. 
The  fifth  one  of  the  lot  being  worked  now,  is  a  pacer,  and 
within  a  few  days  showed  an  eighth  in  seventeen  seconds.  Be- 
sides I  know  a  yearling  trotter  by  Direct  named  Too  Soon, 
that  was  weaned  October  19  last,  and  can  be  driven  an  eighth 
in  eighteen  seconds  any  day.  In  '92  Direct  made  a  stud 
season  in  Kentucky,  and  I  have  not  had  an  opportunity  of 
seeing  any  of  the  produce  of  that  season's  service.  Last  year 
he  again  made  a  stud  season  here  and  this  Spring's  colts  so 
far  are  as  good  a  looking  lot  as  were  ever  got  by  any  horse. 
Another  thing,  even  in  the  fields  and  paddocks  at  their  dam's 
sides,  they  invariably  show  speed.  They  are  all  good  size 
(the  public  can  judge  this  for  themselves  this  season  from  the 
few  that  will  come  East  to  race)  are  the  stroDgest-loined  and 
coupled  colts  ever  seen  by  anybody,  and  after  tbe  racing  is 
through  this  coming  fall  the  verdict  will  be  by  everybody 
that  hits  a  Direct  in  a  race, "  You  have  got  to  race  every  inch 
of  every  mile  until  the  last  heat  is  won  to  beat  a  Direct." 
In  closing  I  might  add,  Major  Domo  and  others  to  "give  the 
boy  (i.  e.  the  young  trotting  horse)  a  chance.

Trie  Driving  Club. 

The  Petaluma  Driving  Club  met  at  the  City  Hall  last 
Thursday  evening,  there  being  a  large  attendance  and  all 
present  being  very  much  enthused  with  the  manner  in  which 
the  organization  is  progressing. 

Dr.  I.  M.  Proctor,  president  pro  tern,  presided  and  Dr. 
Thos.  Maclay,  secretary  pro  tern  was  in  his  accustomed  place. 
The  minutes  of  the  previous  meeting  were  read  by  the  secre- 
tary pro  tem  and  approved. 

The  committee  on  by-laws  then  reported  in  relation  to 
same,  the  by-laws  were  read  and  adopted  and  the  meeting  then 
proceed  to  elect  a  Board  of  Directors. 

The  following  were  selected  :  Dr.  I.  M.  Proctor,  J.  H.  Mc- 
Nabb,  D.  J.  Healy,  D.  H.Ingram,  M.  O'Reilly  and  John 
Lawler.    The  meeting  then  adjourned. 

The  Board  of  Directors  at  once  convened  and  proceeded  to 
regularly  organize.  Organization  was  effected  by  the  follow- 
ing named  gentlemen  being  chosen  to  fill  their  respective 
offices :  President,  Dr.  I.  M.  Proctor ;  vice-president,  K.  S. 
Brown  ;  treasurer,  W.  K.  Hill  ;  secretary,  W.  E.  Bowen.  It 
was  decided  to  hold  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Di- 
rectors on  the  first  Tuesday  of  each  month. 

The  members  are  taking  a  great  interest  in  the  club,  and 
every  day  several  of  them  maybe  seen  at  the  race  track, 
speeding  their  favorite  trotters  and  watching  the  sprinters  at 
work.  The  selection  of  Dr.  Proctor  as  president  is  an  ex- 
excellent  one  and  it  would  be  difficult  to  find  any  member 
who  would  mors  ably  fill  the  position  as  he  is  a  great  lover 
of  fine  horseflesh  and  has  some  of  the  speediest  in  this  vicinity 
in  his  own  stables. — Imprint.

Change  of  Date. 

The  District  Fair  Directors  held  a  meeting  last  Friday 
and  the  report  of  the  Finance  Committee  was  received-  The 
encouragement  that  the  committee  received  in  the  way  of 
subscriptions  has  given  the  assurance  of  the  success  of  the 
Fair. 

On  motion,  the  resolution  passed  at  the  last  meeting,  fixing 
the  date  for  holding  the  Fair  from  August  21st  to  the  25th, 
was  rescinded,  aud  the  date  finally  fixed,  the  Fair  to  com- 
mence Tuesday,  July  24th,  and  end  Saturday,  the  2Sth. 

This  date  will  be  two  weeks  ahead  of  the  meeting  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association,  and  as 
the  purses  are  to  be  increased  here  a  better  class  of  horses  and 
consequently  faster  time  may  be  expected. 

It  was  thougbt  best  to  have  the  Fair  earlier  so  that  it 
would  give  horsemen  time  to  gel  their  stock  to  the  State 
Fair  after  this  race  meeting  was  over  with. 

The  pavilion  exhibit  management  was  given  in  charge  of 
G.  W.  Hutchins,  R.  W.  Skinner  and  R.  C.  Kells. 

The  Directors  adjourned  until  last  Tuesday,  when  the  mat- 
ter of  preparing  a  premium  list  and  race  programme  was 
taken  up. 

At  the  meeting  Tuesday  evening  the  speed  programme  was 
arranged,  and$4,S00  will  be  given  as  purses. 

A  ladies'  tournament  will  take  place  during  the  week,  and 
probably  a  farmers'  race  will  be  introduced. 

The  pavilion  awards  will  be  large  and  numerous,  and  the 
premium  list  is  now  being  arranged. 

The  race  programme  is  as  follows : 

First  day,  Tuesday,  July  24th — Trotting,  2:40  class,  purse 
$300;  trotting,  2:50  class,  for  colts  one  year  old,  purse  $200.

meeting  of  the  Board  of  Appeals  last  Thursday  at  the  Audi-

yesterday,"  was  about  the  first  thing  he  said,  and  added,  as 
we  expressed  regret  and  spoke  of  having  seen  him  when  he 
first  beat  2:30  as  a  two-year-old,  in  1891 :  "  He  had  grown 
into  the  finest-looking  horse  you  about  ever  saw.  That's 
putting  it  pretty  strong,  isn't  it?  But  it  was  so.  He  had 
developed  and  filled  out,  and  you  remember  he  always  was 
very  highly  finished.  What  was  the  matter?  Well,  we  had 
castrated  him  anditdind't  seem  to  heal  right,  and  finally 
scrotal  hernia  was  developed.  We  hated  to  lose  him,  and 
Sutherland  especially — he  couldn't  have  felt  much  worse,  I 
believe,  at  the  death  of  a  member  of  his  family." 

Gift  o'  Neer,  two-year-old  record  2:24J,  three-year-old  rec- 
ord 2:24*,  four-year-old  record  2:20,  was  one  of  the  best- 
known  youngsters  ever  bred  in  Michigan.  As  tbe  first  of  his 
sire's  get  to  attain  prominence  and  as  a  peformer  on  many  of 


The  late  Gen.  W.  T.  Withers  always  claimed  that  the  get 
of  Almont,  as  a  rule,  were  excellent  roadsters.  This  assertion 
was  brought  forcibly  to  mind  lately  by  the  remark  of  a  gen- 
tleman who  has  dealt  quite  extensively  in  well-bred  trotters 
for  the  past  few  years.  This  gentleman  said  that  if  it  were 
possible  he  would  go  to  California  and  buy  a  carload  or  two 
of  the  sons  and  daughters  of  Piedmont,  bring  them  East  and 
sell  them  for  roadsters.  He  has  owned  five  of  them  at  differ- 
ent times,  and  was  highly  pleased  with  all  of  them.  They 
were  kind,  level-headed,  sensible,  very  tractable  in  harness, 
did  not  pull  or  shy,  and  were  afraid  of  nothing.  If  any  acci- 
dent happened  while  in  harness  they  were  easily  controlled 
and  did  no  damage. 

These  are  qualities  which  breeders  should  aim  to  produce. 
They  are  not  found  in  dead-meftled,  wooden-headed,  sleepy 
brutes,  but  are  associated  with  active,  intelligent  brains. 
Every  horseman  knows  that,  as  a  rule,  spirited,  intelligent 
horses  are  farsafer  in  times  of  great  danger  than  those  of  the 
listless,  dead-mettled  sort.  There  are  but  few  of  the  get  of 
Piedmont  (2:17J)  owned  in  this  vicinity.  The  only  one  we 
now  recall  is  Mr.  Crawford's  stallion  Salvini,  which  is  by 
Piedmont  (2:17J),  dam  Elsie  (dam  of  Novelist,  2,  2:27,  and 
Rio  Alto,  2,  2:22$),  by  Gen.  Benton,  second  dam  Elaine 
(2:20),  dam  of  Palatine  (2:23A),  by  Messenger  Duroc,  third 
dam  the  famous  Green  Mountain  Maid.  This  combination  of 
bloodlines  represents  an  excellent  trotting  and  speed  inherit- 
ance, which  is  sure  to  tell  to  advantage  in  his  offspring.  We 
are  informed  that  he  is  an  excellent  roadster,  and  as  fearless 
of  danger  as  the  majority  of  Piedmont's  get. 

Almont  Eagle  (2:27),  full  brother  of  Piedmont,  did  a 
limited  stud  service  in  New  England  for  several  years,  and 
Mr.  Moody  informs  us  that  his  get  are  almost  invariably  the 
best  of  roadsters,  being  prompt,  cheerful  drivers,  that  can  go 
all  day  without  tiring.  We  would  expect  that  the  get  of 
Piedmont  and  Almont  Eagle  would  possess  great  endurance, 
for  their  dam,  the  great  broodmare  Mag  Fergusoo,  was  by 
Mambrino  Chief,  from  a  daughter  of  the  famous  four-mile 
race  horse  Grey  Eagle.  Some  would  suppose  that  a  thorough- 
bred cross  so  close  up  would  make  their  descendants  just  the 
opposite  in  temperament  and  disposition  from  what  they 
really  are.  There  is  a  great  difference,  however,  in  the  in- 
telligence and  docility  of  thoroughbreds  and  their  descendants, 
as  every  horseman  knows  who  has  studied  their  characteris- 
tics.— Horse  Breeder.

Tacoma  Horse  Items. 


As  horse  interest  is  beginning  to  liven  up,  I  will  request  a 
small  space  in  your  valuable  paper  just  to  inform  the  outside 
world  that  Tacoma  is  the  home  of  some  fast  horses,  and  that 
the  track  is  now  being  put  in  shape  at  the  expense  of  Mr. 
W.  R.  Rust,  who  is  the  most  genuine  and  practical  horse 
owner  that  ever  graced  this  city  with  his  presence.  He  is 
the  owner  of  several  fast  horses — two  fillies  by  Superior,  2:17. 
These  t  ,vo  fillies  are  as  good  as  could  be  asked  for  and  are 
positive  trotters. 

Lenmar,  2:16},  son  of  Admar,  one  of  the  finest  big  trotters 
in  America,  is  at  the  track  ;  also  a  filly  by  a  son  of  Mambrino 
Patchen,  in  care  of  Trainer  Sam  Strvker,  of  New  Jersey ; 
Happv  West,  by  Col.  West,  and  Otto  T.,  by  Phallamont,  and 
out  of  a  mare  by  Cuyler,  by  Gray  Messenger.  The  last  two 
are  in  charge  of  P.  J.  O'Brien,  a  graduate  from  Keating  and 
Ottinger's  stable. 

Wm.  F.  Rider  has  just  bought  a  filly  out  of  Innocencia,  by 
Bayonne  Prince,  2:ll+>  This  filly  was  got  by  a  son  of  Crown 
Point,  and  is  a  fast  and  perfect  animal.  Great  things  are 
looked  for  from  her. 

Soudan  Patchen,  the  brown  son  of  Soudan  and  Patchen 
Mollie,  bv  G.  M.  Patchen,  that  came  here  as  a  two-year-old 
two  years  ago  and  got  out  of  fix,  is  now  rounded  to  and  can 
measure  strides  with  any  stallion  except  Lenmar  this  side  of 
Portland.  He  is  growing  well  now.  His  colts  of  last  season 
are  good  enough  for  anv  man's  use. — Lucas,  in  North  Pacific

"Woodland  Track  Notes. 


Director  Maid  is  again  at  work,  and  will  now  be  put  in 
shape  for  her  coming  races.  She's  a  beauty,  and  gives  prom- 
ise of  great  speed. 

H.  Hogoboom  has  a  number  of  good  animals  at  work  that 
will  show  up  well  in  their  respective  races  the  coming  season. 

H.  W.  Langenour's  mare  will  go  into  training  to-day.  She 
will  make  the  circuit  in  the  2:30  class. 

It  is  a  fine  list  of  entries  for  the  fall  races  at  the  Woodland 
track. 

X.  M.  Weaver's  pacer  is  doing  some  grand  work. 

The  track  is  just  a  little  heavy  yet,  but  Tom  Ryder  kicked 
up  his  sulky  and  waltzed  under  the  wire  without  apparent 
effort  in  two — well  never  mind  Tom  will  get  their  this  fall. 

Mr.  Rodman  pays  John  Blue  a  high  compliment.  Johnny 
has  several  fast  horses  at  the  track,  and  Mr.  Rodman  is  try- 
ing to  catch  their  time.  Johnny  gives  his  animals  fast  quar- 
ters every  morning,  but  not  from  post  to  post.  He  has  marks 
on  the  ground,  on  the  fence  and  everywhere,  and  when  he 
starts  and  where  he  stops  no  one  knows.  Rodman  says  he  is 
the  most  foxy  driver  he  ever  knew.  Go  out  and  see  if  you 
can  catch  him. — Mail. 

In  the  "  Illiad  "  there  are  but  two  references  to  ho  rseback 
riding,  and  but  one  in  the  "  Odyssey,"while  there  are  numer- 
ous references  to  chariots  in  each. 


Remember  this  is  the  last  day  you  will  have  to  make  en- 
tries for  the  Napa  Fair. 

Do  not  forget  the  sale  of  trotters  that  is  to  take  place  next 

Tuesday. 


T.  H.  Williams  Jr.  is  now  the  lessee  of  the  old  Oakland  trot- 
ting park.  A  lease  of  seventeen  years  from  Judge  Mee,  the 
owner  of  the  property,  to  Mr.  Williams  was  signed  at  noon- 
time Tuesday  and  the  track  is  now  the  property  of  Mr. 
Williams. 

While  the  lease  from  Judge  Mee  to  Mr.  Williams  was  be- 
ing signed  Henry  Schwartz  placed  on  record  with  the 
County  Recorder  an  agreement  between  himself  and  Ben 
Wright,  of  Oakland,  who  held  the  lease  of  the  track  before 
Mr.  Williams.  The  agreement  was  made  on  January  8, 
1894,  and  by  it  Mr.  Wright  agreed  to  furnish  the  Oakland 
Trotting  Park  and  all  of  the  necessary  appurtenances  while 
Mr.  Schwartz  is  to  supply  the  horses  for  not  less  than  120 
days'  racing  each  year.  Schwartz  is  entitled,  under  this 
agreement,  to  all  of  the  gate  receipts  and  income  of  the 
track  and  is  to  pay  all  purses  and  expenses,  furnish  the 
horses  and  make  up  the  programme,  while  Wright  is  to  have 
the  saloon  privilege  of  the  grounds.  The  whole  agreement, 
however,  is  to  rest  upon  the  granting  of  privileges  to  sell 
pools  upon  local  and  Eastern  races  by  the  Supervisors, 
Schwartz  to  have  the  privilege  if  the  Supervisors  would 
grant  it,  and  the  whole  agreement  to  be  void  if  the  privilege 
to  sell  pools  is  refused. 

While  the  agreement  was  made  on  January  8th  it  was 
not  acknowledged  until  May  28th,  and  the  Williams  lease 
was  signed  to-day.  This  is  a  very  significant  combination  of 
circumstances  and  dates,  and  shows  that  some  one  got  ahead 
of  some  one  else,  and  the  first  some  one  is  Mr.  Williams. 
Schwartz  undoubtedly  learned  that  Williams  was  likely  to 
get  the  track  and  placed  his  agreement  with  Wright  on  rec- 
ord in  order  to  prevent  Williams  trying  to  sell  pools  in  Oak- 
land and  thus  hurt  his  poolrooms  at  Ocean  View.  His  agree- 
ment with  Wright,  however,  is  worth  nothing,  and  could  only 
cause  some  legal  complications,  for  Wright  has  let  the  track 
go  and  has  failed  to  pay  his  rent. 

It  was  learned  yesterday  from  good  authority  that  Mr. 
Williams  does  not  intend  to  run  races  on  tbe  Oakland  track 
instead  of  the  Bay  District,  and  that  his  action  had  no  refer- 
ence to  Henry  Schwartz  and  his  poolselling  business.  It  will 
be  used  exclusively  for  trotting  races. 


The  Palo  Alto  Sale. 


Catalogues  for  the  coming  sale  of  trotting  stallions,  colts, 
fillies  and  roadster  geldings  have  been  issued  and  are  ready 
for  distribution.  The  sale  will  take  place  at  the  Palo  Alto 
Stock  Farm,  Wednesday,  June20th,commencingat  ten  o'clock 

A.  M. 

There  are  just  fifty-two  animals  to  be  sold  and  all  the  lead- 
ing Palo  Alto  sires  are  represented,  viz.;  General  Benton. 
Whips,  2:27A;  Electricity,  2:173,;  Bernal,  2:17;  Lottery, 
Truman,  2:12;  Wildnut,  MacBenton,  Nonis,  2:22J  ;  Wild 
Boy,  Azmoor,  2:204;  Alban.  2:24:  Piedmont,  2:1  "i;  Sport, 
2:22$  ;  Good  Gift,  Nephew,  Clay,  2:25,and  Benton  Boy,  2:20*. 
The  dams  of  these  are  among  the  most  celebrated  on  the 
farm.  Seekers  after  fine-looking,  pure-gaited  geldings  for 
road  driving  will  see  animals  at  this  sale  which  will  suit 
suit  them.  The  yearling  colts  cannot  be  surpassed  for  breed- 
ing and  individuality,  while  the  fillies  are  worthy  of  being 
placed  on  any  stock  farm  in  the  land  after  their  careers  on 
the  track  end. 

Nearly  all  are  broken  single  and  double,  but  very  few  have 
been  handled  for  speed.  A  large  number  are  eligible  to  the 
stallion  representative  stakes  and  if  taken  in  band  at  once 
will  stand  a  splendid  chance  of  winning  some  of  these  events. 

The  stallion  Benefit,  by  General  Eenton,  out  of  Lucetta, 
by  Hambletonian  10;  second  dam  Lucy  Almack,  by  Young 
Engineer,  will  also  be  sold.  When  but  two  years  old  he 
showed  a  mile  in  2:29L 

We  will  refer  later  on  to  the  appearance  of  those  to  be  sold. 
All  who  have  not  received  catologues  will  be  accommodated 
by  sending  us  a  postal  with  the  names  of  those  who  might 
want  to  get  a  first-class  Palo  Alto-bred  horse  or  filly.

Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Asso- 
ciation Races. 


FIRST  RACE — TUESDAY,  MAT  29. 

jF  TO-DAY'S  racing  is  an  indication 
of  what  the  Breeders'  and  Horse- 
men's Association  can  do  toward 
providing  interesting  racing  for  an 
appreciative  public  the  meeting  is 
certain  to  be  phenomenally  success- 
?T^~  f»l.  The  attendance  was  about 
1,500,  and  this,  for  an  ''oflday," 
Sin  ie  more  than  encouraging  to  the 
management  of  the  organization 
which  sprang  up  less  than  two 
weeks  ago.  While  the  eutries  in  a  couple  of  the  races  were 
not  large,  every  event  was  interesting.  Eight  bookmaking 
firms  did  a  lively  business,  and  the  bettors  were  very  near 
right  in  their  conclusions  in  most  instances,  though  only  two 
decided  favorites  finished  first.  Too  much  praise  cannot  be 
bestowed  on  H.  D.  Brown  for  the  splendid  starting  he  did 
from  first  to  last.  There  was  not  even  one  start  that  could 
be  called  "fair."  All  were  simply  grand.  In  the  seven-fur- 
long dash,  fourth  on  the  programme,  he  sent  the  field  of 
nine  off  on  such  even  terms  that  the  send-off  was  loudly  ap- 
plauded from  all  quarters.  The  judges  had  no  fouls  to  dis- 
turb their  peace  of  mind,  and  the  last  race  was  over  before 
5  o'clock.  President  Wilber  F.  Smith  was  presiding  judge, 
and  associated  with  him  were  Vice  President  Ab  Stemler  and 
Secretary  Tozer. 

Gold  Dust  led  for  nearly  three  furlongs  in  the  first  race, 
then  Romulus  took  up  the  running,  being  closely  pressed  by 
Xormandie  up  to  the  final  sixteenth,  then  he  gradually  drew 
away  [and  won  easily  by  a  length,  with  Gold  Dust  pulled  up, 
third,  about  a  dozen  lengths  away. 

Red  Rose,  the  post  favorite,  led  all  the  way  iu  the  second 
event,  and  was  a  rather  handy  winner  over  Prince,  who  was 
slow  to  get  moving.  Flush  Ban,  the  original  favorite,  was 
third. 

Monterey,  the  favorite,  led  all  the  way  in  the  third  race, 
and  won  cleverly  by  a  length,  Sea  Spray  being  second,  two 
lengths  from  Niagara. 

Old  Regal  looked  a  winner  for  about  half  a  mile  in  the 
seven-furlong  dash,  fourth  on  the  programme,  then  De  la 
tiuerra  came  up  like  a  shot,  collared  him  and  passed  into 
a  lead  he  never  relinquished,  though  Mendocino  was  close 
upon  him  the  last  one  hundred  yards.  Regal  got  the  show. 
North,  at  5  and  6  to  1,  captured  the  last  race  in  fine 
style  after  Hal  Fisher  had  led  to  the  homestretch.  Silver, 
the  favorite  came  up  and  got  the  place,  while  Kathleen  just 
beat  Guard  a  head  for  the  show  after  the  latter  had  got 
pocketed  in  the  homestretch.

the  close,  owing  to  heavy  backing  received.  Nutwood  was  at

the  favorite's  heels  came  Gold  Du»l.  There  was  a  pretty 
little  fight  down  the  homestretch  between  Romulus  and  Nor- 
mandie, but  the  colt  was  the  stronger,  and  won  handily  by  a 
length,  Normandie  second,  twelve  lengths  in  front  of  Gold

Briton's  odds  receded  from  8  to  5  to  3  to  1,  Red  Rose  went  to 
the  front  without  delay,  and,  attended  closely  by  Flush  Ban, 
ran  around  ioto  the  homestretch.  Here  it  looked  as  if  Flush 
Ban  would  win,  but  Red  Rose  stalled  ofi  her  rush  and  won 
handily  by  two  lengths,  Prince  makings  phenomenal  run  and 
getting  the  place  about  a  length  in  front  of  Flash  Ban.  True

half-pole  Monterey,  Sea  Spray  and  Hanford  was  the  order, 
two  lengths  separating  each.  Sea  Spray  crawled  up  as  they 
neared  the  homestretch,  and  it  began  to  look  as  if  Monterey 
was  to  be  beaten.  Niagara  ran  up  third  about  three  furlongs 
from  home.  In  the  homestretch  there  was  a  pretty  fight, 
Monterey  coming  away  enough  at  the  very  end  to  win  by  a

Nine  horses  were  started  in  the  seven-furlong  dash.  Clac- 
quer was  at  all  times  the  favorite,  opening  at  4  to  5,  closing 
at  7  to  5.  Long  d'Or  was  backed  down  from  6  to  3  to  1.  Ry- 
land was  4,  De  LaGuerra  5,  Inkerman,  Mendocino  and  Vice-

such  an  excellent  one  that  it  was  loudly  applauded  by  the 
spectators,  an  unusual  occurrence  around  a  race  course.  Old 
white  faced  Regal,  soon  sailed  to  the  front,with  Viceroy  and 
Mendocino  at  his  heels  and  De  La  Guerra  fourth.  This  was 
the  order  passing  the  half-pole,  where  Regal  was  two  lengths

two  lengths  fron  Regal,  who  had  fallen  back.  He  came  again, 
however,  and  a  pretty  race  ensued  down  the  homestretch,  De 
La  Guerra  winning  in  a  drive  by  three  parts  of  a  length,

Silver  was  an  even  money  favorite  in  the  last  race  of  the 
day,  five  and  a  half  furlongs,  for  all  ages.  Guard  and  North 
were  at  2k  to  1  each  (the  latter  backed  down  from  6  to  1), 
Hal  Fisher  5,  Kathleen  8,  Lodi  12,  and  Vulcan  15  to  1.  The 
start  was  again  good,  after  a  short  delay  had  been  occasioned 
by  Guard's  general  bad  actions.  Hal  Fisher  led  passing  the 
half  by  two  lengths,  with  Silver,  Kathleen  and  North  in  a 
bunch  behind.  Guard  was  last.  Fisher  held  on  to  the  head  of 
the  homestretch,  where  North  came  fast,  with  Silver  at  his 
heels.  There  was  a  beautiful  race  down  the  homestretch. 
Guard  looked  dangerous  a  little  less  than  a  furlong  from 
home,  but  got  in  a  pocket  between  Kathleen  and  some  other 
horse  from  which  he  could  not  be  extricated  in  time.  North 
is  a  hard  horse  to  beat  down  the  straight  in  a  race  of  this 
iort,  and  won  driving  by  nearly  a  length,  Silver  second,  one 
and  a  half  lengths  from  Kathleen,  who.  beat  the  fast-coming 
Guard  by  a  head  for  the  show,  Time,  1:16}. 

SECOND  DAY — WEDNESDAY,  MAY  30. 

An  appreciative  crowd  of  nearly  if  not  quite  2,000,  not- 
withstanding the  weather  conditions,  attended  the  races 
given  under  the  auspices  of  the  Breedere'  and  Horsemen's 
Association  yesterday,  and  it  is  safe  to  say  went  home 
thoroughly  satisfied  with  the  sport  provided  and  the  way 
it  was  conducted.  Starter  H.  D.  Brown  showed 
the  same  superb  form  in  the  line  of  flag- wielding, 
and  came  in  for  thunders  of  applause  from  all  sides.  In  every 
race  the  horses  were  sent  off  on  such  level  terms  that  the 
veriest  growler  on  the  grand  stand  was  ready  to  acknowledge 
that  he  had  no  grumble  due  him.  If  Mr.  Brown  is  not 
snapped  up  by  some  of  the  big  racing  associations  on  the 
other  side  of  the  Rockies  ere  many  moons  wax  and  wane, 
we  very  much  miss  our  guess. 

The  talent  and  the  pencilers  had  a  see-saw  on  the  financial 
question,  two  favorites,  two  second  choices  and  a  long-shot 
capturing  the  purses.  Two  of  the  winners  of  selling  races 
were  run  up — Ida  Glenn,  $105;  Hal  Fisher,  $255.  There 
was  no  semblance  of  a  foci  for  the  judges  to  deliberate  over, 
and  everything — even  the  rain — moved  along  as  smoothly  as 
well-greased  machinery. 

Kitty  L.  took  the  first  race  into  camp  for  R.  D.  Ledgett, 
who  has  been  anything  but  lucky  since  the  racing  began  here 
last  fall.  Mainstay,  a  good-looking  colt  from  the  Elkton 
stable,  led  into  the  homestretch,  then  the  weight  told,  and 
Kitty  L.  came  from  third  place  and  won  with  ease  by  two 
lengths,  Charlie  Quick,  the  favorite,  second,  a  length  from 
Coquette. 

Ida  Glenn  led  all  the  way  in  the  second,  and  it  almost  took 
her  life,  after  swerving  in  the  homestretch,  to  win  by  ahead 
from  April.     Prince  was  third. 

Lodi  led  in  the  last  race  up  to  the  last  eighty  yards,  where 
Hal  Fisher,  who  had  been  ridden  hard  most  of  the  way  by 
that  demon  horse  pilot,  Madison,  came  on  in  the  gamest 
fashion  and  won,  all  out,  by  half  a  length,  Lodi  second,  about 
a  length  from  Kathleen,  who  looked  as  if  she  might  win  in 
final  sixteenth. 

Trix,  thesecond  choice,  made  a  runaway  of  the  mile  handi- 
cap, and  although  Royal  Flush  did  look  dangerous  in  the 
homestretch  he  could  not  get  up.  Alexis  beat  Sir  Reel  for 
the  show  even. 

Auteuil  won  the  seven-furlong  dash  very  handily  at  the 
close,  though  it  looked  for  over  six  furlongs  as  if  old  Charger 
was  not  to  be  caught.  Huntsman  stumbled  at  the  start  or 
he  might  have  been  much  closer  up.

Charley  Quick  was  the  favorite,  opening  at  6  to  5,  closing

stay from  4  to  3  to  1.  Kitty  L.  and  Coquette  were  at  6  to

start,  the  order  being  Washoe,  Kitty  L.,  Mainstay.  At 
the  half-pole  Washoe  wss  leading  Kitty  L.  half  a  length, 
Kitty  L.  second,  three  parts  of  a  length  from  Mainstay,  who 
was  two  lengths  from  Charley  Quick.  Mainstay  went  to  the 
front  with  a  fine  burst  of  speed,  about  three  furlongs  from 
home,  and  led  into  the  straight  by  nearly  two  lengths,  Washoe 
and  Kitty  L.  heads  apart  as  named,  over  a  length  from  Char- 
ley Quick.  Mainstay  looked  all  over  a  winner  up  to  the 
final  eighth,  where  Kitty  L.  began  to  gain  fast.  A  sixteenth 
from  home  she  had  him  beat:  and  he  tired  badly,  Charley 
Quick  and  Coquette  moving  up  from  the  rear.  Kitty  L.  was 
an  easy  winner  by  two  lengths,  Charley  Quick  getting  the 
place  by  a  length,  Coquette  third,  a  neck  from  Washoe

Trix  was  at  2  to  1,  Sir  Reel  4,  Alexis  20  to  1  at  the  close! 
The  start  was  such  a  perfect  one  that  Starter  Brown  came  in 
for  vociferous  applause.  Trix,  with  his  light  weight  up, 
went  to  the  front  before  the  first  turn  was  reached,  and  at 
the  quarter  was  two  lengths  to  the  good,  Royal  Flush  and  Sir

were  nose-and-nose  finishes,  and  the  remaining  three  were  ex-

to  the  mile.  Starter  Brown  again  did  good  work  with  the 
flag,  and  the  crowd  once  more  applauded  his  efforts.  He  has 
yet  to  make  a  start  not  absolutely  good.  Red  Wing

quarter,  Lonnie  B.  lapped  on  the  latter.  Rear  Guard 
crawled  up  on  the  white-faced  filly  to  the  extent  of  a  length

lengths  off,  bat  beginning  to  drop  oat  of  it  Normandie

The  last  race  of  the  day  was  won  by  the  second  choice, 
April.  Polaski  was  the  favorite,  opening  at  even  money,  clos- 
ing at  6  to  5.  April  was  at  3  to  1,  Seaside  and  Red  Wing  at  4 
to  1  each  (latter  backed  down  from  6),  Santa  Fe  7,  May 
Pritchard  8  and  Louise  10  to  1.  Polaski  and  April  raced  off 
head  and  head  in  front  of  their  field,  Santa  Fe  being  third 
passing  the  half.  Polaski  led  into  the  homeseretch  and  drew 
away  from  April.  At  the  last  sixteenth  Polaski  began  to  tire, 
and  April  came  at  him  like  a  bull  dog.  The  latter  soon  had 
the  favorite  beaten,  and  won  easily  by  three  lengths,  Polaski 
second,  about  as  far  from  Seaside,  third.     Time,  1:14*.

Cincinnati,  May  30. — The  greatest  day  that  Latonia  has 
ever  bad  fell  on  this  Decoration  Day.     Ten  thousand  specta-  : 
tors  were  present.     Tt.e  day  was  cloudy,  but  the  track  was  in  '■ 
good  condition.  The  Decoration  Day  handicap  was  the  event 
of  the  day  and  the  best  of  years.     Ida   Pickwick,  who  won  ; 
the  stake  two  years  ago,  came  to  the  front  again  today,  aod  , 
the  same  rider  who  guided  her  to  victory  then  brought  her 
in  the  second  time,  equaling  the  world's  record   for  the  dis- 
tance. 

She  covered  the  mile  and  three-sixteenths  in  1:"  9  J,  break- 
ing the  track  record  by  half  a  second  and  equaling  the  records 
made  by  Rudolph  at  Washington  Park  in  July,  1893,  and 
Lorenzo  at  Garfield  Park  in  August,  1892.  But  Ida  Pick- 
wick's performance  was  deserving  of  more  credit  than  either 
of  these  others.  She  won  easily  almost  in  a  canter,  carrying 
top  weight,  120  pounds,  while  Rudolph  carried  107  and  Lor- 
enzo 104  when  they  established  the  record. 

Ida  Pickwick  was  one  of  the  first  of  three  from  the  first, 
and  went  in  front  at  the  head  of  the  stretch  and  kept  her  lead 
without  being  touched  by  whip  or  spurs,  winning  very  easily 
by  nearly  two  lengths.  Lazzarone,  the  Derby  winner,  was 
made  favorite  by  the  crowd,  bat  he  finished  an  inglorious 
ninth  in  the  field  often.  The  favorites  were  utterly  frozen 
out,  not  one  landing  the  money- 
Ida  Pickwick  is  a  bay  filly  by  iup.  Mr.  Pickwick,  dam 
Idak.  She  has  always  been  a  good  performer.  In  1892  she 
won  eleven  races  ont  of  fifteen  starts.  Ida  Pickwick  is  six 
years  old  and  is  raced  by  the  Avondale  stable.

at  Morris  Park  for  the  opening  of  the  season. 

In  the  Cherry  Diamond  Handicap  Dr.  Rice  was  an  odds- 
on  favorite,  and  fully  justified  the  opinion  of  the  backers.  He 
had  to  give"  lots  of  weight  away  to  the  others  and  had  to 
make  the  pace  as  well,  but  he  did  both  under  a  heavy  pull

Rules  for  Track  Laying. 


The  question  is  often  asked,  (iWhat  are  the  rules  for  lay 
nig  out  mile  and  half-mile  track?"  The  following  simple 
directions  will  be  found  useful :  For  a  mile  track  draw  a 
line  through  an  oblong  center  440  yards  in  length,  settin  g  a 
stake  at  each  end.  Then  draw  a  line  on  either  side  of  the 
first  line,  exactly  parallel  with  and  417  feet  2  inches  from  it, 
setting  stakes  at  either  end  of  them.  You  will  then  have  an 
oblong  square  440  yards  long  and  834  feet  4  inches  wide.  At 
each  end  of  these  three  lines  you  will  now  set  stakes.  Now 
fasten  a  cord  or  wire  417  feet  2  inches  long  to  the  center 
stake  of  your  parallelogram  and  tben  describe  a  half-circle, 
driving  stakes  as  often  as  you  wish  to  set  a  fence-post.  When 
the  circle  is  made  at  both"  ends  of  vour  parallelogram  you 
will  have  two  straight  sides  and  two  circles,  which,  measored 
three  feet  from  the  fence,  will  be  exactly  a  mile.  The  tarns 
should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot. 

A  half-mile  track  :  Draw  two  parallel  lines  600  feet  long 
and  452  feet  5  inches  apart.  Half  way  between  the  extreme 
ends  of  the  two  parallel  lines  drive  a  stake,  then  loop  a  wire 
around  the  stake  enough  to  reach  to  either  side.  Then  make 
a  true  curve  with  the  wire,  putting  down  a  stake  as  often  as 
a  fence-post  is  needed.  When  this  operation  is  finished  at 
both  ends  of  the  900-foot  parallel  lines  the  track  is  laid  out. 
The  inside  fence  will  rest  exactly  on  the  line  drawn,  but  the 
track  must  measure  a  half-mile  three  feet  from  the  fence. 
The  turns  should  be  thrown  up  an  inch  to  the  foot.  The 
stretches  may  be  anywhere  from  45  to  60  feet. 


The  Equestrian  Show. 


A  meeting  of  gentlemen  interested  in  the  coming  eques- 
trian tournament  to   be  held  the  latter  part  of  June  at  the 

|  Recreation  Park  at  the  Mid-vinter  Fair  was  held  Thursday 
night  at  the  office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  Vicomte 
de  Comely  6rst  addressed  the  meeting.  He  explained  the 
object  of  the  association,  and  stated  that  over  200   members 

:  in  the  interior  were  interested  in  the  tournament.  The  affair 
will  begin  June  27th,  and  will  last  one  week.  Colonel  Rob- 
inson made  a  short  speech  and  assured  intending  exhibitors 
that  a  mammoth  horse  show  will  be  seen  in  San  Francisco. 
Dr.  Parent  suggested  that  excellent  rough  riders  could  be  se- 
cured from  either  Butte  or  Shasta  county.  A  number  of 
other  suggestions  were  also  made  by  gentlemen  present.  The 
carnival  will  be  modeled  to  a  very  great  extent,  after  the 
European  horse  shows.  There  will  be  another  meeting  on 
the  night  of  June  4th  at  313  Bush  street. 

-♦ 

Cornelius  Sullivan,  proprietor  of  the  Riverside  Stock 
Farm,  near  Chicago,  has  lost  his  trotting  stallion,  Prince 
Phallas,  by  Phallas,  2:13$,  dam  Lady  Colvin,  dam  of  Col- 
vina  Spragne,  2:193,  the  latter  being  made  in  the  fifth  heal 
of  a  race,  while  Phallas'  record  was  made  in  the  fourth  heat, 
and  stands  to-day  as  the  world's  record,  made  in  the  old- 
fashioned  high-wheel  sulky.  Prince  Phallas  was  a  horse  of 
magnificent  conformation,  standing  16  1-4  hands  high  and 
weighing  1250  pounds.  He  was  foaled  in  the  spring  of  1881, 
and  purchased  by  Sullivan  the  year  Phallas  made  his  record, 
from  the  late  J.  I.  Case  of  Racine,  for  $1800.  But  few  of 
his  colls  have  been  trained.'.but  those  that  have,  have  shown 
that  they  can  beat  the  2:30  mark.  Prince  Phallas  was  con- 
sidered a  sire  of  brilliant  promise,  and  it  was  the  belief  that 
his  get  would  make  their  mark  both  as  carriage  and  road  per- 
formers. Sullivan  recently  refused  an  offer  of  $5,000  for  the 
horse,  and  as  there  are  now  nearly  100  mares  in  place  booked 
to  him,  the  nature  of  his  loss  can  be  appreciated.     The  horse 

I  was  insured  for  only  $2,000.

These  will  be  no  fair  at  Willows  this  year.  How  about 
Red  Bluff?  

The  Statnboul-Silverone  two-year-old  has  been  sent  to 
James  Golden  at  Mvstic  Park,  Boston. 


The  local  horsemen  of  Anaheim  are  contemplating  the 
building  of  a  half-mile  track  near  that  place. 

Grand  Admiral,  2:27,  son  of  Le Grande,  is  at  Montague, 
Siskiyou.  He  will  be  seen  on  the  California  circuit  this 
year.  

The  sale  at  Palo  Alto  next  month  is  one  that  will  draw  a 
large  crowd.  There  are  many  very  choice  ones  to  be  of- 
fered.   

nor  Mabkham  has  appointed  and  commissioned  T. 
J.Williams  director  of  Agricultural  District  No.  37,  Santa 
Barbara  County.  

Mustapha,  2:23,  has  been  running  in  a  pasture  field  ;  it  is 
hardly  likely  that  this  game  son  of  Guy  Wilkes  will  appear 
on  the  circuit  this  year. 

A.  CORNICE'S  fine  stallion  Wayland  W.,  2:18?-,  will  be  on 
the  circuit  this  year.  He  has  been  bred  to  a  number  of  very 
good  mares  in  Humboldt  county. 

OOB  sympathies  are  extended  to  the  unfortunate  yearling 
by  Stamboul,  dam  by  Guy  Wilkes,  that  has  had  the  hideous 
name  of  Wilkboul  tacked  to  him. 


A  bucking  horse,  ridden  by  W.  P.  West,  was  so  badly  in- 
jured in  its  frantic  demeanor  Sunday  at  Healdsburg  that  it 
was  necessary  to  put  the  animal  to  death. 

James  Berryman  will  be  seen  on  the  circuit  with  several 
very  promising  colts  and  fillies  this  year.  He  is  handliDg 
them  on  the  splendid  track  at  Oakville. 

Sidney,  2:19£-,  has  fourteen  pacers,  of  which  Gold  Leaf, 
2:11$,  is  the  best.  He  is  a  pacer  himself  and  was  sired  by 
Santa  Claus,  2:17  A,  that  has  but  one  pacer. 

Victor  von  BISMARCK,  sire  of  twenty- eight  trotters  and 
two  pacers,  has  been  impotant  for  over  four  years  and  yet 
looks  as  vigorous  as  any  live  or  six-year-old  stallion. 

Alamito,  2:19,  has  gone  to  Denver  from  Council  Bluffs, 
Iowa,  to  start  in  the  June  races.  He  may  get  a  chance  to 
start  in  some  of  the  specials  as  he  is  not  regularly  entered. 

Alice  Director,  2:19},  is  another  of  Director's  sweet- 
gaited  pacers  and  is  likely  to  be  another  Direct  in  speed 
this  vear.  She  is  in  H.  D.  McKinney's  stable  of  Jamesville, 
Wis.'  

It  has  been  arranged  to  send  the  pacing  mare  Yolo  Maid, 
2:12,  against  0-  E.  Boles,  champion  bicycle  rider  for  Colo- 
rado. The  event  will  take  place  at  Overland  during  the 
June  meeting.  

Monroe  Salisbury  will  send  one  lot  of  horses  to  Denver 
to-morrow  and  the  balance  of  his  horses  later  on,  so  he  will 
have  his  stable  intact  at  Council  Bluffs,at  which  place  he  will 
stay  for  some  time. 

Since  Wm.  Boyd,  the  celebrated  horse  shoer,  accepted  the 
position  under  Mr.  Salisbury,  he  has  decided  not  to  have  his 
Lord  Byron  horse,  Bitter  Eoot,  2:25  worked  this  year.  The 
young  stallion  is  at  Stockton. 

The  colts  and  fillies  by  the  grandly-bred  Red  Wilkes  stal- 
lion Dictatus  that  are  making  their  appearance  this  year  are 
all  trotters  and  as  handsome  as  pictures.  Dictatus  will  be 
brought  to  the  Oakland  track  next  month. 

Direct,  2:05$,  has  sixty-eight  mares  booked  to  him  this 
year,  and  every  one  of  them  is  either  a  performer,  sister  of  a 
performer,  or  the  dam  of  one.  His  career  as  a  sire  from  this 
time  on  is  bound  to  be  upward  and  onward. 

Soudan,  2:27.1,  never  looked  better  than  he  does  at  present. 
The  youngsters  at  the  Moorland  Stock  Farm  sired  by  him  out 
of  the  splendidly  bred  mares  there,  are  finer  looking  than 
any  heretofore  seen  in  that  portion  of  Santa  Clara  County. 

Th  eke  is  a  handsome  Diablo  yearling  at  Pleasanton  which 
A'il)  be  sent  East  soon.  He  is  a  light  chestnut  in  color  and 
has  the  appearance  of  a  thoroughbred.  His  dam  is  by  Al-

Thomas  Clark's  Guy  Wilkes  stallion,  formerly  called 
Wilkes  Moor,  has  been  registered.  As  this  name  had  been 
claimed  the  horse  hereafter  will  be  known  as  Fez  25,357.  At 
Hueneme  where  he  has  been  standing,  his  progeny  are  said 
to  be  very  handsome  and  fast. 

■John  A.  Goldsmith  writes  that  the  consignment  of  trot- 
ters from  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm  shipped  to  him  some 
timeagoarrived  safely  and  came  through  in  splendid  shape. 
If  nothing  happens  they  will  be  heard  of  this  year  among 
the  livers  on  the  Eastern  tracks. 

Mk.  W.  K.  1 1  -nn   Francisco,  has  just  been  made 

a  member  of  the  L'nion  Club.  He  was  an  enthusiastic  bidder 
at  the  Carman  horse  sale  in  New  York  City  the  other  day, 
and  secured  :t  pair  of  bays,  Battler  and  Skylark,  for  respec- 
tively three  hundred  and  three  hundred   and    twenty  dollars. 

Two  weeks  ago  an  envelope  was  received  at  this  office  among 
a  lot  of  others  containing  subscriptions,  This  one  also  had 
five  dollars  in  it,  but  no  other  information  regarding  the 
sender.  As  it  was  postmarked  Sacramento,  we  earnestly 
hope  the  subscriber  will  Rend  his  name  in.  Sacramento  sub- 
scribers please  take  notice,  but  do  not  all  speak  at  once. 

The  people  who  purchased  colts  and  fillies  at  the  San 
Ma'eo  Slock  Farm  sate  are  delighted  with  them,  while  those 
who  purchased  broodmares  are  envied  by  their  neighbors. 
Should  Mr.  Corbitt  hold  another  sale  next  year  in  California 
it  is  a  safe  wager  that  it  will  be  tiic  best  attended  and  the 
most  successful  one  of  the  year. 


If  the  racing  that  has  taken  place  at  San  Antonio  and 
Baltimore  is  an  index  of  the  lSi'4  campaign,  records  will  be 
broken  all  to  pieces.  We  believe  that  every  horse  that  has 
started  in  an  event  and  won  a  heat  has  reduced  or  equaled 
his  former  record,  which  is  something  remarkable  this  early 
in  the  season. 

A  subscriber  would  like  to  know  if  the  person  who  pur- 
chased Prince  Wilkes,  2:14$,  from  his  owner  in  South  Amer- 
ica, has  brought  him  to  California.  He  heard  that  such  was 
the  case,  but  wants  further  proof.  Prince  Wilkes  is  a  chest- 
nut horse,  15.1  hands,  small  star  and  four  white  feet.  He 
was  foaled  in  1881. 

'•  It  is  quite  a  sight,"  writes  Capt.  M.  C.  Campbell  from 
Cleburn  Stock  Farm,  to  Trotwood,  "  to  see  twelve  out  of 
fourteen  colts  in  one  lot  pacing  together,  all  sucklings.  This 
I  can  show.  Only  two  that  trot.  Mercury,  son  of  Sidney, 
gets  more  natural  pacers  than  Brown  Hal,  and  they  show 
lots  of  speed.  They  are  easily  broken  and  in  a  few  days  work 
ofi  like  old  horses." 


Germany  had  4,522,545  horses  in  January,  1892.  Prussia 
alone  has  over  two  and  one-half  millions,  and  the  rest  of 
Germany  is  very  scarce  of  horses.  Thus  we  see  ail  Europe 
is  fast  losing  ground  in  the  production  of  horses,  and  must 
buy  the  more  largely  from  other  countries.  We  can  spare 
them  two  or  three  million  horses  from  our  sixteen  millions, 
says  the  Western  Agriculturist. 

J.  B.  Chandler  is  well  settled  at  Overland  Park  with  the 
stable  of  E.  D.  Gould,  of  Fullerton,  Nebraska,  the  string  in- 
cluding the  bay  mare  Belle  Acton,  entered  in  the  2:15  pac- 
ing ;  the  stallion  Barondale,  a  starter  in  the  2:20  pacing;  the 
black  trotter  Chantwood,  in  the  2:23  class ;  Fred  K.  and  On- 
line, pacers,  entered  in  the  free-for-all  ;  the  yearling  Stella 
Woodbine,  a  bay  filly  by  Woodbine,  and  others. 

Miss  Kitty  C.  Wilkins,  the  horse  queen  of  Idaho,  has  at 
present  about  3,000  horses  on  her  range,  including  trotters, 
Clydes,  French  draughts  and  others.  She  raises  for  the  city 
markets,  mainly  for  light  and  draught  purposes,  and  rejects 
the  bronchos  with  scorn.  Her  father  and  brothers  do  most  of 
the  hard  work  in  caring  for  the  range,  and  Miss  Wilkins 
looks  after  the  selling  and  buying.  She  is  about  thirty  years 
of  age. 

One  of  our  Kohnerville  subscribers  writes  us  :  Five  days 
after  dropping  a  foal  to  Wayland  W.,  Posse,  dam  of  Swift 
Bird,  while  in  pasture  adjacent  to  Rohnerville  race  track, 
found  the  gate  open,  and  went  out  on  the  track.  She  immedi- 
ately struck  out  right  way  of  the  track  at  her  best  trotting 
gait,  which  kept  the  baby  up  to  its  full  speed  running.  She 
made  the  full  mile  without  a  break,  and  when  at  the  exit 
gate  she  passed  out  into  her  pasture,  apparently  well  satisfied 
with  the  performance. 

A  company  has  been  organized  at  Portland  to  kill  the 
mongrel  horses  of  Oregon,  Washington,  Montana,  Nevada 
and  Idaho.  The  flesh  will  then  be  rendered  of  its  oil,  and  the 
residue,  with  the  bones  and  hoofs,  will  be  made  into  a  fertil- 
izer. It  is  estimated  that  in  the  States  mentioned  there  are 
at  present  2,000,000  head  of  half-breed  wild  horses  for  which 
no  market  can  now  be  found,  and  owners  have"  no  hope  of 
realizing  a  dollar  on  them. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Thirty-sec- 
ond Agricultural  Association  (Santa  Ana)  the  following  pro- 
gramme was  considered  for  the  fair  to  be  held  at  that  place 
October  8th  to  13th:  Trotting— Free  for  all,$l,000;  2:17  class, 
$1,000;  2:24  class,  $700;  2:27  class,  $600  ;  2:40  class,  $600  ; 
2:40  class,  for  three-year-olds,  $400.  Pacing — Free  for  all, 
$1,000;  2:15  class,  $1,000;  2:19  class,  $600  ;  2:27  class,  $500; 
three-year-olds.  The  prospects  of  holding  a  very  successful 
meeting  this  year  are  excellent. 

The  trainers  are  busy  at  Terre  Haute,  Ind.  Thomas 
Dickerson  is  working  seventeen  head,  Col.  Thomas  six,  Geo. 
Star  twenty-five,  S.  J.  Fleming  seven,  Hawley  Cole  of  Mil- 
waukee five,  Budd  Doble  about  twenty-five,  John  Jackson 
five,  Warren  Park  eighteen,  B.  F.  Ransom's  stable  eight,  W. 
H.  Boyce  twelve,  which,  with  the  horses  from  Edgewood  in 
training,  about  ten,  and  the  McDonald  lot,  makes  140  horses. 
Adding  the  Willow  Ridge  stable  and  Starr,  with  Hickok's 
lot,  there  will  be  175  or  more  by  the  1st  of  June. 

C.  G.  Raub,  of  Meridian,  purchased  the  chestnut  filly 
Benicia,  by  Benefit,  out  of  Susie,  2:26L,  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen 
Jr.,  at  the  Palo  Alto  Stock  Farm  sale  last  month.  She  is 
only  a  two-year-old,  but  is  showing  so  well  in  her  work  that 
her  proud  owner  has  resolved  to  have  her  go  in  some  races 
on  the  Northern  circuit.  Mr.  Raub  is  one  the  most  progres- 
sive young  horsemen  in  Sutter  county,  and  we  are  pleased  to 
hear  he  has,  besides  Benicia,  some  other  very  likely  trotters. 

A  gentleman  who  lives  only  a  few  miles  from  this  city 
bred  his  favorite  driving  mare  to  one  of  our  best  stallions  and 
two  weeks  ago  she  dropped  a  bay  filly.  A  friend  who  noticed 
that  this  "old  bach"  did  not  get  to  work  as  early  a6he  used  to 
before  the  two-minute  candidate  came,  met  him  on  the  street 
one  morning  and  said  :  "  Good  morning,  Mr.  Smith,  I  have 
heard  that  Topsy  had  a  nice  foal,  I  suppose  you  see  it  every 
few  days?"  "Few  days!"  was  the  indignant  reply.  "Every 
day,  you  mean,  and  if  I  could  spare  the  time  I  would  see  it 
eyery  hour." 

The  Luke  Crow  that  was  killed  by  his  horse  Jim  C.  at 
Hartford,  Conn.,  was  not  the  man  who  drove  Electrina,  2:20, 
last  year,  although  he  had  his  horse  at  the  same  track  at  the 
time.  The  driver  of  Electrina  was  J.  H.  Crow,  who  at  present 
is  handling  a  big  string  of  horses  at  the  Oakland  track. 
Luke  Crow  was  a  short,  thick-set  man ;  he  was  quite  deaf, 
and  always  carried  an  ear  trumpet.  Everyone  remembers 
him  at  the  track  to  be  a  very  quiet,  hard-working,  honorable 
man,  whose  whole  soul  seemecf  wrapped  up  in  his  horse,  Jim 
C.     His  untimely  death  is  regretted  by  all  who  knew  him. 

Geo.  W.  Hancock,  the  well-known  Director  of  the  State 
Agricultural  Society  met  with  a  rather  serious  accident  last 
Saturday  at  Sacramento.  A  runaway  horse  dashed  into  the 
buggy  in  which  Mr.  Hancock  was  sitting.  He  struck  it  with 
such  force  as  to  capsize  the  vehicle  and  threw  Mr.  Hancock 
out  on  the  curbing.  He  was  picked  up  and  carried  into  the 
hotel,  where  it  was  found  that  he  had  been  rendered  insensi- 
ble. Blood  was  flowing  freely  from  the  head,  where  it  had 
come  in  contact  with  the  pavement.  A  physician  was  sum- 
moned and  on  examination  he  declared  that  although  Han- 
cock was  rather  seriously  injured,  he  was  not  dangerously  so. 
and  that  the  blood  was  caused  by  a  scalp  cut.  Hancock  soon 
came  to  and  was  taken  home  in  a  hack. 


Mr.  P.  J.  Mann  has  bought  from  Messrs.  Casto  and  Beach 
the  very  promising  three-year-old  pacer,Neola,  by  Altamont, 
dam  Nell,  the  dam  of  Lady  Daphne,  2:21i,  by  Duroc  Prince. 
Thus  the  good  ones  continue  to  sell.  Mr.  Mann  has  been 
quite  a  factor  in  purchasing  promising  colts,  as  this  is  the 
second  one  this  spring,  and  he  came  within  an  ace  of  buying 
DocSperry. — North  Pacific  Rural. 

A  novelty  on  a  trotting  track  was  introduced  at  the 
opening  day  of  the  Parkway  Driving  Club,  New  York.  All 
the  announcements  from  the  stand  were  made  through  an 
enormous  speaking  trumpet  constructed  of  papier-mache.  It 
performed  its  function  excellently.  Tb.3  speaker's  voice  was 
heard  distinctly  by  everyone  who  had  ears  to  hear.  Other 
tracks  might  advantageously  use  one  of  these  voice-helpers. 

The  District  Fair  at  Chico  will  be  held  commencing  Au- 
gust 21st  and  continuing  five  days  as  usual.  Colusa  has  con- 
cluded that  she  could  not  handle  the  district  fair  this  year, 
and  has  wisely  concluded  to  let  Yolo  have  the  State  appro- 
priation for  the  general  exposition.  Owing  to  the  failure  to 
collect  funds  at  Willows  to  hold  the  fair  at  that  place  a  meet- 
ing was  held  of  the  Directors  and  the  above  fact  6tated.  A 
motion  was  made  to  hold  the  fair  at  Orland,  if  the  necessary 
amount  was  subscribed.  The  people  of  Orland  are  enthusias- 
tic in  support  of  the  movement,  but  they  have  no  race 
track. 

The  good  trotting  stallion  Klamath,  2:134-,  will  be  one  of 
the  attractions  at  the  Overland  meeting.  His  stable  mate  is 
the  pacing  mare  Jingler,  2:15,  by  Grandee  entered  in  the  free- 
for-all.  This  lady  won  the  pacing  event  at  Albuquerque  last 
week  after  losing  two  heats  to  Oceana  Prince.  Klamath  ap- 
peared at  Trinidad  this  week  but  did  not  start,  as  there  was 
no  class  for  him  and  if  he  starts  at  the  Overland  it  will  be  in 
some  of  the  specials  as  he  is  not  regularly  entered,  and  his 
coming  from  California  was  announced  too  late  to  get  in  on 
the  ground  floor.  From  Denver,  the  Klamath  stable  may  go 
East,  but  this  is  not  yet  fully  decided,  although  more  than 
probable. 

John  Rogers,  trainer  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm, 
writes :  "  As  a  matter  of  news  X  beg  leave  to  inform  you  that 
I  have  sold  to  Peter  Casey,  of  San  Mateo,  the  brown  colt  by 
Sable  Wilkes,  dam  Gulnare,  by  Princeps,  which  I  bought  at 
the  recent  sale  of  Mr.  Corbitt  on  the  22d  inst,  Mr.  Casey  giv- 
ing $600  in  cash  and  the  bay  mare  Woodford  Queen  with  foal 
at  side  by  Sable  Wilkes  which  he  purchased  at  the  same  sale. 
Mr.  Casey  is  an  old-time  horseman,  and  has  been  very  suc- 
cessful in  all  his  undertakings  in  the  horse  line,  and  it  is  his 
intention  to  turn  the  colt  out  to  grass  for  this  season  and  take 
him  up  in  the  early  winter  and  fit  him  for  his  Eastern 
engagements.  As  you  know,  this  colt  is  one  of  the  best-bred 
colts  in  California,  and  from  the  way  he  showed  on  the  day 
of  sale,  we  are  justified  in  predicting  for  him  a  brilliant 
future  both  as  a  race  horse  and  a  sire." 


Horsemen  are  all  more  or  less  superstitious,  and  the  care 
of  a  horse  is  not  omitted  when  the  question  of  lack  or  good 
fortune  is  aroused.  Bob  Murray,  the  young  man  who  takes 
care  of  Don  Lowell,  is  looked  upon  as  a  "  lucky  man."  He 
has  had  the  honor  of  being  the  care  taker  of  a  number  of 
kings  and  queens  of  the  turf.  He  never  bad  a  horse  or  mare 
break  down  while  in  his  charge.  He  first  came  into  promi- 
nence in  1864,  while  in  charge  of  Bruno,  the  son  of  Hamble- 
tonian  10  and  Old  Kate.  Bruno  had  a  record  of  2:24,  but  he 
trotted  some  very  long  and  hard  races.  He  had  charge  of 
Goldsmith  Maid,  2:14,  Queen  of  the  Turf;  Oliver  K.,  2:16}, 
Lucy,  2:14,  the  great  paeer,  Direct,  2:05£,  the  king  of  pacing 
stallions,  and  Directum,  2:05},  the  king  of  trotting  stallions, 
and  naw  he  has  charge  of  Don  Lowell,  a  very  formidable 
candidate  for  the  crown.  If  the  son  of  Don  Marvin  wins  it, 
will  not  some  people  say  there  is  something  in  having  lucky 
people  around  a  horse  ?  

An  electrie  horse-feeder  is  a  new  invention  for  securing 
the  regular  feeding  of  horses  during  the  absence  from  any 
cause  of  the  stableman.  The  apparatus  is  very  simple,  the 
law  of  gravitation  being  depended  upon  to  accomplish  most 
of  the  work.  The  first  requisite  is  an  alarm  clock,  which 
should  be  good  enough  not  to  stop  casnally,  but  need  not  be 
expensive.  The  electrical  plant  is  that  needed  for  an  ordi- 
nary electrical  bell,  four  cells  of  the  Lelanche  type  of  battery 
being  sufficient  for  any  distance  up  to  200  yards.  The  third 
portion  of  the  apparatus  is  the  feeder — that  is  to  say,  the 
vessel  holding  the  grain.  The  clock,  which  is  the  prime 
mover  of  the  whole  concern,  may  be  in  the  house,the  harness 
room  or  anywhere,  but  if  it  be  more  than  200  yards  away 
from  the  feeder,  a  more  powerful  battery  will  be  reopened 
To  use  the  feeder,  the  first  thing  is  to  set  the  alarm  of  the 
clock  at  the  hour  at  which  it  is  desired  that  the  horses  should 
be  fed.  The  food  is  then  placed  in  a  tin-like  biscuit  box, 
which  is  turned  upside  down  and  placed  in  the  proper  com- 
partment of  the  shoot,  when  the  lid  of  the  box  is  drawn  out ; 
the  grain  then  resting  upon  the  floor  of  a  trap-like  arrange- 
ment, held  in  its  place  by  a  single  contrivance.  When  the 
alarm  goes  off  a  button  is  pressed,  and  the  circuit  is  com- 
pleted. A  weight  falls,  the  button  of  the  feed  box  is  released 
and  the  grain  falls  out  into  the  manger. 

To  the  credit  of  those  who  breed  pacers  be  it  said  that  in 
the  past  few  years  much  improvement  has  been  wrought  in 
the  conformation  of  their  favorites.  The  old-time  wracker 
was  often  low-headed  and  "  chunky,"  without  racing  form  and 
occasionally  a  bush-bred  one  of  the  same  stamp  may  still  be 
found  at  a  country  fair.  Often  a  horse  of  this  form  and  gait 
was  in  bygone  times  the  champion  "  speeder  "  of  the  village 
in  which  he  was  owned,  but  the  glory  has  departed  from  him 
forever,  a  much  speedier  and  more  attractive  animal  having 
superseded  him.  It  may  be  said  in  a  general  way  that  there 
are  three  distinct  types  of  the  pacer  extant  to-day:  First, 
the  low-headed,  drooping-quartere4  sort  described;  second, 
the  powerfully-formed  class,and  third  the  trotting-bred,  trot- 
ting-shaped  pacer.  It  is  immaterial  to  the  present  purpose 
which  of  the  two  last-named  types  is  the  best — both  are  very 
good,  have  great  speed,  and  are  beloved  of  race-going  people 
for  the  excellence  of  the  contests  in  which  they  engage.  One 
thing,  however,  is  perfectly  clear,  the  pacer  has  advanced  in 
popular  favor  by  leaps  and  bounds,  and  the  improvement  in 
his  speed,  endurance  and  beauty  has  been  the  cause  of  his 
onward  and  upward  march.  And  it  must  be  remembered 
also  that  the  systematic  improvement  of  the  pacer  has  only 
been  undertaken  in  the  past  few  years.  As  time  goes  on  and 
the  whole  structure  of  the  pacer  is  woven  into  keeping  with 
his  lean,  game  head,  his  deep,  strong  ribs,  and  wealth  of  driv- 
ing muscle  in  his  quarters,  his  breeder  will  have  solved  the 
problem  of  joining  great  speed  and  endurance  to  soundness 
and  good  looks. — Horseman.

Every  one  will  be  sorry  to  hear  that  the  crack  jockey, 
"  Moose  "  Taylor,  had  his  leg  amputated  last  week.  The 
limb  was  so  badly  fractured  the  surgeon  decided  there  was  no 
hope  of  saving  it.

he  was  a  few  years  ago  is  the  question.  Most  people  will  be- 
lieve that  he  has  seen  his  best  days. — St.  Louis  Dispatch. 

Information  derived  from  Lexington  has  it  that  Mr.  W. 
McGuigan,  Jr.,  will  build  and  equip  a  winter  race  track  at 
Lawrence  Station,  which  is  iust  six  miles  out  of  Hot  Springs, 
Ark.  The  name  of  the  place  is  Potash  Springs,  and  is  said 
to  be  the  only  level  spot  in  that  part  of  the  country.  Mrs. 
McGuigan's  husband  was  expelled  by  the  Kentucky  Associa- 
tion in  1876,  and  the  persistent  efforts  of  his  wife  to  secure  his 
reinstatement  were  only  crowned  with  success  a  short  time 
ago.  The  lady  states  that  Ed  Corrigan  and  other  well-known 
western  turf  men  hold  the  majority  of  the  stock  in  her  cor- 
poration, and  will  vest  the  management  with  her  husband, 
who  having  been  restored  to  the  franchises  of  the  turf,  will 
now  be  in  a  position  to  conduct  a  race  track. 

Just  as  we  predicted.  The  news  that  a  change  of  starters 
at  the  Bay  District  Track  would  attract  many  new  faces  here- 
after, proved  true,  for  yesterday  exactly  twice  the  number  of 
people  passed  through  the  gate  as  did  the  day  before.  The 
cheers  that  greeted  Starter  Brown  were  the  best  evidence  that 
his  marvelous  work  was  appreciated.  The  sticklers  after 
"  flying  starts  "  should  attend  the  races  and  see  what  a  differ- 
erence  there  is  in  the  two  methods.  The  public  must  be 
pleased,  and  it  is  more  gratifying  to  herald  the  success  of  an 
artist  such  as  H.  D.  Brown  than  to  making  apologies  for 
those  who  came  with  flyiog  colors  and  tried  to  make  the  pub- 
lic believe  the;r  old-fashioned  methods  were  the  best.  We  con- 
gratulate the  new  and  flourishing  association  on  its  securing 
such  capable  a  man  as  Star  er  Brown. 

The  starting  of  H.  D.  Brown  Tuesday  was  cheered.  He 
proved  conclusively  what  we  have  always  claimed,  that  as  a 
wielder  of  the  flag  he  has  never  been  equalled  in  California. 
The  public  who  visit  a  race  meeting  are  always  satisfied  when 
they  see  every  horse  get  an  even  show  to  start.  A  brilliant 
future  awaits  this  young  man  in  his  chosen  calling.  A  large 
number  of  people  who  did  not  care  for  the  uneven  starts  so 
often  given   by  his  predecessor,   Mr.   Ferguson,  kept   away 


Since  March  13th  the  A.  B.  Spreckels  stable  has  won  over  I  from  the  track,  and  now   that  they  will   read  the  voluntary 


$4,000  in  stakes  and  purses.  Eighty-four  starts  were  made, 
nineteen  races  were  won,  twelve  seconds,  seventeen  thirds, 
thirty-six  times  unplaced. 

The  impression  that  Dr.  Rice  was  a  steady  bleeder  is 
wrong.  The  only  race  in  which  he  bled  was  run  while  he 
was  recovering  from  a  cold,  and  no  blood-vessel  was  ruptured. 
At  that  time  the  flow  of  blood  was  small. 


The  management  of  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Asso- 
ciation had  cause  for  congratulation  over  the  attendance 
Tuesday — their  opening  day.  H.  D.  Brown's  starting  is 
going  lo  be  a  great  attraction  from  this  time  forth. 

Edward  Corrigan,  only  son  of  Edward  Corrigan,  the 
turfman,  died  last  Sunday,  Slay  20,  at  Kansas  City  of  con- 
sumption. He  had  just  reached  his  majority,  and  was  a 
promising  young  man.  A  trip  last  winter  to  California  was 
taken  in  the  hope  of  restoring  his  health. 

The  great  Morella  is  galloping  as  well  as  he  did  at  this 
time  last  year.  Col.  H.  I.  Thornton  sent  four  mares  to  the 
horse,  Burns  &  Waterhouse  four,  Julius  Reis  one,  J.  O.  Reis 
one,  Wilman  of  Hanford  three,  C.  Trevathan  one,  A.  Joseph 
two,  W.  Pritchard  two  and  Geo.  Fletcher  one. 


Alex  Lakeland's  good  filly  Josie  (imp.),  by  Holmby — 
Geology,  who  injured  one  of  her  shoulders  some  weeks  ago 
at  the  Brighton  Beach  track  while  getting  the  best  of  the  ex-  ]  need  not  be  ashamed  of  it,  since  some  of  the  greatest  men 


glowing  accounts  of  Mr.  Brown's  work  in  the  box,  they  will 
try  and  be  present.  The  knowledge  that  more  money  was 
lost  at  the  post  than  at  the  finish  deterred  many  from  mak- 
ing any  wagers  on  the  outcome  of  the  races.  We  believe  in 
giving  credit  wherever  it  is  due,  without  fear  or  favor. 

Chesterfield,  the  Australian  thoroughbred  owned  by- 
Thomas  Bowhill,  the  well-known  veterinary  surgeon,  has  left 
a  number  of  great  representatives  in  New  Zealand.  Temple- 
stone,  one  of  his  sons,  won  the  Elwick  Stakes,  and  was  second 
to  Bishofl  in  the  Wilson  Stakes,  a  distance  of  one  and  a  quar 
ter  miles.  Time,  2:32.  Waxworks,  by  Chesterfield,  out  of 
Lady  Bell,  won  the  two  principal  races  at  Gisborne  on  New 
Year's  Day,  viz ,  Gisborne  Handicap,  one  mile  and  a  quarter 
Time,  2:22A.  He  carried  122  pounds  and  won  in  a  canter  by 
three  lengths ;  The  Flying  Stakes  he  also  won  the  same  after- 
noon, beating  a  field  of  six  with  ease.  Lardy  Dardy,  another 
son  of  the  great  Chesterfield,  was  second  in  three  events,  viz., 
Beach  Handicap,  a  selling  plate  race  and  a  selling  race.  He 
was  only  beaten  a  length  in  each  of  these  events.  We  con- 
gratulate Dr.  Bowhill  on  having  such  a  sire. 

The  question  having  arisen  as  to  whether  or  not  Richard 
Croker  had  an  aristocratic  Irish  origin,  an  amusing  outcome 
of  the  discussion  is  the  action  of  the  journeymen  blacksmiths 
of  New  York  (an  action  which  has  not  yet  been  noticed)  in 
resolving  that  if  Mr.   Croker's  father  was  a  blacksmith  he 


ercising  boy,  and  who  was  thought  to  be  recovering,  had  to 
be  destroyed  on  Saturday  night  in  order  to  put  her  out  of 
her  misery.  

Prices  realized  this  season  for  thoroughbred  yearlings 
have  been,  in  most  cases,  far  from  satisfactory.  Now  comes 
the  intelligence  that  Colonel  Barnes,  of  the  Melbourne  Stud, 
H.  P.  Headley,  of  the  Beaumont,  and  James  B.  Ferguson,  of 
the  Kingston,  have  decided  to  postpone  their  public  vendues 
until  August  13th  next.  

Fred  Foster  made  an  offer  to  the  St.  Louis  Jockey  Club 
May  22d,  offering  to  pay  $15,000  cash  for  the  receipts  of  a 
day's  racing  if  the  club  will  give  a  $5,000  purse  for  Dr.  Rice 
and  Clifford  to  race  for.  The  offer  was  accepted,  but  nothing 
is  likely  to  come  of  it,  as  Eugene  Leigh  will  hardly  ship 
Clifford  west  until  the  Suburban  is  run. 


Billy  Murry  was  reinstated  Tuesday  by  the  California 
Jockey  Club  stewards  and  exonerated  from  all  blame  in  the 
Pricelle  case  upon  the  sworn  testimony  of  credible  witnesses. 
He  was  naturally  much  elated  yesterday  over  the  matter,  as 
it  was  a  serious  thing  for  a  man  as  heavily  interested  as  Murry 
was  to  be  ruled  off  the  turf. 

Since  William  Riley  earned  the  title  of  "  Judge  "  by  pre- 
siding during  the  closing  days  at  Roby,  he  has  forsaken  the 
block,  and  his  slate  is  laid  away  in  the  Palmer  House  store- 
room. His  familiar  cry  of  "Hot  rags  !  come  on, I'll  lay 
against  them,"  may  soon  be  heard  again  if  he  gets  many 
more  such  good  things  as  Pittsburg  was  Tuesday. 

The  rule  now  in  force  in  the  turf  congress  prohibiting  the 
running  of  horses  on  its  tracks  whose  names  have  been 
changed  is  working  a  great  injustice  in  some  quarters,  and  an 
effort  is  being  made  to  have  the  rule  rescinded  at  once.  It  is 
said  that  the  rule  will  become  inoperative  after  June  23d. 
and  if  that  be  so  it  should  be  revoked  now,  as  many  owners 
who  are  guilty  of  no  infringement  of  the  rules  are  being  de- 
prived of  the  use  of  their  horses. 

A  movement  is  on  foot  in  the  East  to  form  a  national  so- 
ciety of  horse-breeders.  The  membership  of  this  association 
will  include  the  breeders  of  all  classes  of  horses  and  its  objects 
to  protect  their  interests.  Every  one  in  any  way  connected 
with  the  horse-breeding  industry  will  be  invited  to  join,  and 
if  the  call  is  answered  as  anticipated  the  racing  interests  of 
the  country  at  large  are  likely  to  be  affected  to  a  marked  de- 
gree. Banded  together  in  such  a  powerful  organization  as  the 
one  proposed,  the  breeders  will  be  accorded  greater  consid- 
eration in  the  management  of  turf  affair*  than  has  hitherto 
been  the  case. 


have  worked  at  the  forge.  Croker's  father,  declared  one 
member,  may  have  been  a  blacksmith  instead  of  a  veterinary 
surgeon,  and,  if  so,  all  the  better.  Finally  it  was  decided  to 
appoint  a  committee  to  find  out  what  the  elder  Croker  really 
was,  and  should  it  transpire  that  he  really  toiled  at  the  forge 
his  picture  will  adorn  a  forthcoming  trade  souvenir.  The 
sons  of  Vulcan  have  an  ancient  and  honorable  prestige.  Any- 
how the  Croker  "  crest "  includes  a  hippocampal  or  sea  horse 
figure  which  gives  some  indication  of  his  ancestral  claim.

The  death  of  Frank  Goodale  was  a  sad  event  at  Louisville, 
May  18.  In  sight  of  the  course  from  which  uprose  the  plaud- 
its of  10,000  people  when  on  Chant  he  landed  the  historic 
event,  the  Kentucky  Derby,  he  died  without  warning.  He 
fell  in  a  heap  in  the  soil  over  which  he  had  so  often  ridden 
safely  and  sank  into  unconsciousness,  from  which  he  only 
awakened  in  the  world  beyond.  Goodale  me't  the  injury 
which  caused  his  death  in  the  srcond  race.  He  was  on  Judge 
Payne,  a  10-to-l  shot.  At  the  turn  rounding  toward  the 
stretch  his  mount  faltered  and  went  down,  throwing  the  un- 
fortunate jcckey  violently  on  bis  head.  Being  in  third  posi- 
tion his  danger  was  more  perilous,  as  results  proved.  An- 
other horse  in  the  race,  just  what  performer  is  not  known, 
hit  him  with  his  flying  heels  on  the  bridge  of  the  nose,  in- 
juring the  leading  nerve  to  the  brain,  rendering  recovery 
hopeless.  Willing  hands  bore  him  to  the  stable  and  medical 
aid  wes  immediately  summoned.  The  doctors  advised  his  re- 
moval to  the  hospital,  there  being  no  means  at  hand  to  even 
attempt  his  relief,  and  he  was  placed  in  a  carriage  attended 
by  his  physicians  and  his  loving  wife,  but  died  jast  as  the  ve- 
hicle was  passing  out  of  the  main  entrance  of  the  grounds. 


The  Lexington  meeting  has  been  quite  a  successful  one 
financially  and  otherwise.  The  attendance  has  been  good 
and  very  encouraging  to  the  men  who  have  worked  hard  to 
bring  about  the  good  sport.  Leigh  &  Rose  are  the  largest 
winning  owners,  having  nearly  $5,000  to  their  credit,  with  J. 
E.  Madden  second,  $3,300  being  his  share.  Frank  Goodale, 
who  had  been£riding  in  good  form,  was  at  the  head  of  the  list 
of  winning  jockeys,  having  won  nine  races,  three  of  them  be- 
ing scored  in  one  day. 

Porter  Ashe  is  suffering  from  a  kick  administered  by  his 
bonny  mare  Geraldine,  a  week  or  so  ago.  Saturday  last  Ger- 
aldine  made  her  first  appearance  at  the  meeting,  and  after 
getting  away  last  of  a  big  field  ran  through  her  horses  and 
finished  second  to  Governor  Ross  in  fast  time  for  six  furlongs. 
As  Geraldine  looked  big  and  a  bit  above  herself  the  perform- 
ance was  a  noteworthy  one,  as  at  the  end  of  the  first  fifty 
yards  she  was  every  foot  of  fifteen  lengths  behind  the  leaders.

The  lease  and  efiects  of  the  Garfield  Park  race  track  are  to 
be  sold  to  the  highest  bidder  by  order  of  Judge  McConnell. 
An  order  to  this  effect  was  entered  May  10th  in  the  suit 
commenced  by  Grommes  &  Ullrich,  who  held  an  unsatisfied 
judgment  against  the  raciDg  concern  for  $899.92.  After  the 
suit  was  filed  other  creditors  intervened,  and  these  will  now 
share  in  the  proceeds  of  the  sale.  The  largest  claim  on  the 
list  is  that  of  Reilly  Bros,  for  $2,446,  and  the  Pinkerton 
agency  is  second  with  $2,187.50.  The  list  of  properties  in- 
cludes the  lease  of  the  property  for  track  purposes  at  $25,000 
a  year,  which  terminates  February  28, 1895  ;  the  grand  stand, 
an  electric-light  plant,  bookmakers'  booths,  a  steam-heating 
plant,  and  bills  receivable  ranging  from  the  account  with  the 
Matthews  Soda  Water  Company  for  $7.22  to  that  of  M.  C. 
McDonald  foe  $2,937.       

Pierre  Lorillard  has  announced  his  intention  of  send- 
ing some  of  his  thoroughbreds  to  race  in  England,  and  in 
order  that  his  title  of  ownership  may  be  uniform  on  both 
sides  of  the  Atlantic  will  henceforth  nominate  his  horses  in 
his  own  name.  The  rules  of  the  English  Jockey  Club  will 
not  permit  him  to  enter  his  horses  in  races  run  on  English 
soil  as  the  property  of  the  "  Rancocas  Stable."  The  news  of 
this  projected  foreign  turf  campaign  brings  to  mind  the 
glorious  victories  of  Foxhall  and  Iroquois,  and  it  is  con- 
fidently to  be  expected,  if  Mr.  Lorillard's  plans  are  consum- 
mated as  outlined,  that  some  of  the  classic  events  will  fall  to 
his  share.  Marcus  Daly  said  some  time  ago  that  he  might 
race  some  of  his  horses  in  England  this  or  next  season,  and 
it  is  therefore  by  no  means  improbable  that  greater  interest 
may  shortly  be  evinced  in  international  sport  than  has  been 
the  case  for  many  years.  The  prowess  of  American  thor- 
oughbreds has  been  kept  before  the  English  people  ever 
fince  Iroquois'  year  by  Blue  Grass,  who,  though  not  a  first- 
class  racehorse,  was  selected  year  after  year  for  one  of  the 
Queen's  premiums  of  two  hundred  pounds.  Racing  is  so  well 
established  a  part  of  the  British  national  economy  that  its 
management  and  methods  are  unlikely  to  change,  for  which 
reason  it  may  turn  out  more  profitable  to  race  there  than  in 
America  for  the  next  few  years.  The  "Yankee"  horses 
will  be  welcome  in  England.  With  a  fair  field  and  no  favor 
they  will  surely  hold  their  own. — Horseman. 

A  horse,  like  a  prophet,  may  be  without  honor  in  its  own 
country.  We  have  known  little  or  nothing  of  an  American 
horse  that  is  now  astonishing  London.  The  .World  says  : 
u  Nothing  more  remarkable  in  its  way  has  been  seen  for 
sometime  than  the  performance  of  what  is  described  with 
perfect  accuracy  as  the  calculating  and  thought-reading  horse 
at  the  Crystal  Palace.  Mazeppa  is  a  gray  Arab  mare,  bred  in 
the  United  States,  where  she  has  been  performing  her  won- 
derful feats  of  calculation  before  being  brought  over  here  by 
her  trainer,  a  very  determined-looking  man,  who  makes  no 
secret  of  the  fact  that  he  had  to  use  some  force  before  reduc- 
ing her  to  the  docile  state.  She  is  described  in  the  bill  as  a 
talking  horse — that  is,  of  course,  only  figurative,  as  she  does 
all  the  talking  with  her  feet ;  but  she  answers  all  the  questions 
put  to  her  with  surprising  rapidity  and  accuracy.  Thus,  for 
instance,  when  told  to  subtract  rive  from  eleven  she  paws  the 
floor  six  times,  but  when  to  take  nine  from  seven  she  gives  a 
shake  of  the  head  and  winks  one  eye  with  an  expression  that 
is  intimately  sly.  More  remarkable  still,  she  will  tell  the 
time  on  the  face  of  any  watch  shown  to  her,  indicating  the 
hour  with  one  forefoot  and  the  minutes  with  the  other;  while, 
most  surprising  of  all,  she  reckons  up  four  lines  of  figures 
chalked  haphazard  on  a  blackboard  by  her  trainer — not  his 
own  figures,  but  any  that  are  called  out  by  people  in  the  hall. 
Mazeppa  would  increase  her  reputation  not  a  little  were  she 
to  carry  her  feats  far  enough  to  interrogate  some  of  her  race, 
say,  for  instance,  Cloister  and  Callistrate,  and  ascertain  from 
them  what  they  thought  about  the  way  the  bookmakers 
worked  them  for  the  Grand  National  Steeplechase  and  the 
City  and  Suburban." 

There  was  a  tremendous  amount  of  talk  flying  around 
England  about  Ladas  before  the  Two  Thousand,  and  Matthew 
Dawson,  the  colt's  veteran  trainer,  was  much  upset  bv  the 
stories  in  circulation,  many  of  which  were  very  uncompli- 
mentary to  him.  A  recent  issue  of  the  London  Sporting 
Times  says :  "  Not  another  day,  my  lord,  not  another  hour," 
was  the  answer  that  Matthew  Dawson  gave  Lord  Roseberry 
when  questioned  as  to  whether  Ladas  needed  more  time. 
Within  two  hours  of  that  answer  being  given  Ladas  stood  in 
the  unsaddling  enclosure  winner  of  the  Two  Thousand,  not  a 
mark  on  him,  scarcely  a  hair  turned,  and  not  blowing:  half  as 
much  as  we  did  who  run  fully  fifty  yards  in  order  to  see  him 
as  he  came  into  the  enclosure.  What  a  satire  all  this  on  the 
opinions  of  those  who  have  been  maintaining  that  the  great 
trainer  did  not  know  his  business?  When  the  thing  was 
overand  the  triumph  complete,  the  old  gentleman,  we  hear, 
almost  gave  way,  and  could  scarcely  bear  with  composure  the 
congratulations  he  received.  He  has  long  been  ill  and  under 
any  circumstances  to  have  to  train  such  a  hot  favorite  must 
be  a  matter  of  most  gnawing  anxiety  almost  enough  to  break 
down  a  strong  man.  The  capacity  of  the  horse  to  stand  the 
work  or  whether  enough  work  was  being  given  was  never 
with  Matthew  Dawson  a  matter  of  doubt.  The  anxiety 
comes  in  when  a  horse  that  is  doing  well  is  being  betted 
against  as  though  some  sinister  influences  were  at  work.  The 
uncomfortable  feeling  that  there  may  be  a  traitor  somewhere 
must  be  very  trying,  as  there  is  never  any  telling  of  how, 
when,  and  where  the  blow  may  be  struck.  No  wonder,  there- 
fore, that  Matthew  Dawson  felt  a  happy  and  much-relieved 
man  when  the  race  was  over,  and  it  was  seen  that  those  who 
had  been  laying  so  heavily  against  Ladas  were  badlv  inspired. 
and  others  who  had  criticised  his  manner  of  traiuing  were 
confounded."

Mori  i  'al  i  lorn  ia- bred  hones  will  be  seen  on  the  tracks 
of  the  United  States  this  year  than  ever.  A  large  num- 
ber that  have  heretofore  been  relegated  to  the  stock 
farm-  are  to  lie  taken  out  by  their  owners  and  given  a 
chance  to  earn  money  in  races.  These  men  have  learned 
the  practical  lesson  that  no  matter  how  royally  bred 
horses  or  mares  ma.  be  unless  they  i-on  trot  or  pace  fast  in 
races,  they  are  almost  valueless  when  the  sale  day  comes. 


The    Battle    to    Begin. 


Tin:  Oakland  track  will  be  used  hereafter  exclusively 
fur  the  training  and  developing  of  the  light  harness 
horse.  We  understand  that  n  new  coating  of  clay  will 
be  put  on  it,  and  in  every  way  it  will  be  second  to  no 
track  in  California,  tor  a  winter  as  well  as  a  summer 
track. 


Ever  since  the  first  followers  of  iEsculapius  looked 
upon  veterinarians  as  horse  and  cow  doctors  there  have 
been  what  are  called  "  strained  relations,"  and  this  an- 
tipathy between  a  majority  of  the  learned  members  of 
these  honorable  professions  is  unaccountable.  The 
poorer  the  member  in  the  former  profession  the  greater 
the  aversion  for  the  most  learned  in  the  latter.  The 
study  of  anatomy,  physiology,  and  hygiene  in  the  human 
family,  is  one  that  enlists  the  attention,  absorbs  the  time 
and  demands  the  greatest  exercise  of  the  most  thought- 
ful minds  in  the  universe.  The  prolongation  of  human 
life  is  a  problem  that  every  one  is  trying  to  solve.  In 
this  age,  the  search  after  wealth  is  carried  on  re- 
gardless of  the  simplest  laws  of  health.  The  rapidity  with 
which  humanity  from  the  cradle  to  middle  age  keeps  in 
tbe  vanguard  of  a  battle  where  the  examples  of 
hundreds  falling  by  their  sides  in  the  terrible  struggle 
leave  no  impression  upon  them  and  where  time  devoted 
to  eating  is  looked  upon  as  somuch  time  lost,  the  dis- 
coverer of  infinitessimal  germs  of  disease  in  our  daily  food 
is  something  that  does  not  seem  to  concern  them 
until  they  are  stricken  with  disease,  or  some  members  of 
their  families  taken  away  by  the  relentless  hand 
of  death.  Then,  and  not  till  then,  do  they  halt  in  their 
struggle  and  contemplate  that  there  are  some  people  en- 
tirely different  from  themselves;  whose  ideas  are  not 
all  concentrated  on  the  fluctuations  of  the  stock  or  money 
market.  These  men  are  known  as  scientists,  to  them  the 
discovery  of  a  new  curative  agent  to  destroy  disease  or 
prolong  life  is  far  greater  than  the  finding  of  a  gold  mine, 
the  capturing  of  a  kiDgdom,  or  the  converting  of  a  lump 
of  clay  into  a  mass  of  precious  stones. 

The  discoverer  of  such  a  secret  receives  the  heartfelt 
thanks  of  the  whole  civilized  race.  Kings,  emperors, 
presidents,  and  all  tbe  highest  potentates  in  the  land,  bow 
before  him;  for  one  drop  of  the  elixir  of  life  for  them 
is  more  than  all  the  glory  or  service  their  subjects  can  give. 
These  humble  scientists  give  of  their  knowledge  freely 
so  that  all  may  profit,  and,  when  the  more  studious  ones 
in  these  professions  towhomwe  look  when  sickness  befalls 
ourselves,  our  families,  or  our  horses  or  cattle,  comes 
forward  and  announce  that  they  have  learned  by  actual 
test  how  to  use  that  newly-discovered  remedy,  or  the 
ingredient  by  which  diseases  (hitherto  almost  unknown 
to  exist)  were  prevalent,  then  all  the  barriers  between 
botn  professions  should  be  let  down  and  the  members 
of  both  branches  should  step  into  the  broad  field  of 
investigation  and  together  work  haud  in  hand  in  the 
noble  work  of  life-saving. 

Throughout  the  United  States  (with  the  exception  of 
this  coast,  we  are  sorry  to  say,)  the  antipathy  existing 
among  members  of  the  medical  profession  toward 
those  who  are  as  ably  qualified — but  who  have  chosen  the 
profession  of  healing  the  sick  of  the  equine,  bovine  and 
canine  races — is  unknown.  If  the  skilled  veterinarian, 
who  is,  or  must  be  a  microscopist,  as  well,  urges  the 
Boards  of  Health  to  investigate  the  methods  dairies  and 
slaughter  houses  are  kept,  the  gentlemen  comprising 
these  organizations  unite  with  him  in  his  labors  to 
reform  these  places,  arrest  all  offenders  of  the  laws  of 
sanitation,  and  prevent  the  sale  of  diseased  meats  or  milk 
alive  with  tuberculosis  germs.  But  in  this  State,  the 
veterinarians  are  working  against  the  strongest  kind  of 
opposition  from  the  medical  profession,  for  what  reason 
no  one  can  tell.  The  aracles  written  by  such  men  as 
Prof.  Thomas  Bowhill,  Thos.  Maclay,  Hume  Spencer, 
C.  B.  Orvis,  Win.  F.  Egan,  R.  A.  Archibald,  and  other 
qualified  veterinarians  upon  the  subject  of  tuberculosis 
have  been  copied  by  the  leadiug  journals  here,  and  the 
subject  has  become  one  of  such  magnitude  that  the  most 
widely  circulated  daily  and  weekly  journals  in  America 
think  it  worthy  of  columns  of  space  in  their  editorial 
pages. 

At  tbe  Stockton  Insane  Asylum  last  week  the  antipathy 
to  the  use  of  tuberculin  was  shown  as  strongly  by  the 
physicians  as  was  evinced  when  Galileo,  the  great  philos- 
opher told  the  people  of  Italy  of  his  doctrine  of  the 
earth's  motion.  It  was  with  the  greatest  difficulty 
the  veterinarians  were  allowed  to  pursue  their  work.  It 
would  be  a  good  idea  to  have  the  gentlemen,  who  con- 
ducted these  investigations  and  experiments,  give  a  series 
of  illustrative  lectures  to  such  members  of  the  medical 
profession  (?)  who  never  heard  of  tuberculin  or  its  use. 

At  San  Jose,  a  short  time  ago,  the  veterinarians  who 
attended  a  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Health,  pre- 
sented a  series  of  articles  to  be  read  before  that  august 
body,  but  they,  tbe  articles,  were  tabled,  and  very  little 
attention  Would  have  been  given  to  the  visitors  had 
not  one  01  them,   Professor   Thos.  Bowhill,  we   believe 


arose  and  told  the   medical   gentlemen  what   they  were 
there  for,  and  what  they  wanted. 

This  state  of  affairs  should  not  be  allowed  to  exist  in 
this  civilized  community.  A  State  Veterinarian  should 
be  appointed  at  the  next  Legislature,  and  every  county 
in  this  State  should  have  a  qualified  county  veterinarian. 
With  such  officials  workiDg  in  unison  with  the  Boards  of 
Health,  there  would  be  no  opportunities  for  our  daily 
newspapers  calling  attention  to  the  bickerings 
and  petty  jealousies  now  so  prevalent  between  the  indi- 
vidual members  of  the  two  honorable  and  indispensable 
professions,  and  the  healthfulness  of  the  State  and  its 
live  stock  would  never  hereafter  be  questioned. 


A  Mixed  Pree-For-AU. 


The  scarcity  of  pacers  and  trotters  eligible  to  tbe  free- 
for-alls  on  this  Coast  has  caused  considerable  anxiety 
among  the  directors  of  the  various  associations.  A  large 
number  that  might  have  appeared  here  have  been  se- 
cured, either  by  lease  or  purchase,  by  trainers  and  driv- 
ers who  were  desirous  of  following  Monroe  Salisbury's 
plan  of  winning  the  large  purses  in  the  East.  Then  there 
are  others  that  have  been  relegated  to  the  stud,  and  their 
owners  feel  that  it  would  be  a  little  too  much  to  ask  of 
these  money-making  sires  to  take  them  up  and  put 
them  in  training.  A  horse  eligible  for  the  free-for-all  is 
a  valuablepie.ee  of  property  as  long  as  he  lives,  and  to 
breed  and  develop  sires  that  can  enter  that  inner  circle 
is  the  aim  of  all  horsemen. 

Taking  these  two  drawbacks  therefore,  there  is  a 
dearth  of  material  here  to  make  races  for  the  free-for-all 
trotters  and  free-for-all  pacers,  while  if  a  good  purse  was 
offered,  say  $2,000,  for  a  free-for-all  to  which  both  trot- 
ters and  pacers  could  enter,  the  race  would  prove  very 
interesting.  While  not  advocating  mixed  races,  never- 
theless, when  a  man  owns  a  stallion,  gelding  or  mare 
that  is  prevented  from  winning  money  because  there  are 
not  competitors  enough  in  his  class  to  fill  the  events  as 
advertised,  it  is  the  duty  of  associations  to  give  them 
an  opportunity  of  making  some  money.  This  state  of 
things  in  California  may  never  occur  again,  but  this  pros" 
pect  does  not  help  the  owners  of  those  that  are  at  presen 
eligible,  but  find  no  chances  to  make  enough  to  pay  for 
their  feed. 

William  Bradbury  says  that  in  order  to  give  the  people 
of  California  a  chance  to  see  his  horse,  Little  Albert, 
trot,  he  will  willingly  enter  him  against  any  trotter  or 
pacer  in  a  free- for-all  of  this  description.  W.  Wood, 
Diablo,  Truman,  and  a  number  of  others  might  be  brought 
together  and  a  splendid  contest  given.  This  is  a  sub- 
ject we  hope  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  will  take  up 
in  case  the  free-for-all  races  they  have  advertised  do  not 
fill  satisfactorily. 


Marysville  Fair. 


The  growth  of  the  trotting  horse  industry  in  Yuba  and 
Sutter  counties  has  been  a  slow  but  sure  one.  Many 
famous  campaigners  have  been  bred  and  raised  in  and 
around  Marysville,  and  the  annual  fairs  which  have 
been  held  there  since  the  days  of  old,  the  days  of 
gold,  have  kept  alive  the  interest  in  breeding  and  devel- 
oping the  best. 

The  fair  this  year  which  begins  July  24th  and  ends  on 
the  28th,  promises  to  be  well  attended.  The  track  is  one 
of  the  finest  in  the  State  and  the  citizens  of  Marysville 
are  enthusiastic  lovers  of  good  racing.  Entries  for  the 
races  will  close  June  30th,  so  owners  of  young  and  old 
trotters  and  pacers  can  have  no  fault  to  find  with  the 
length  of  time  given  them  to  prepare  their  entries.  The 
advertisement  which  appears  in  this  issue  will  give  alj 
instructions  necessary  for  horse  owners  to  follow. 


The  directors  of  the  fairs  to  be  held  at  Chico,  Red 
Bluff  and  Willows  have  decided  upon  the  following  dates 
on  which  they  will  hold  their  respective  meetings  : 
Chico,  July  31 ;  Red  Bluff,  August  7,  and  Willows, 
August  14.  The  advertisement  will  appear  in  our  next 
issue. 


From  almost  every  track  in  California  comes  the 
cheering  reports  that  the  interest  in  trotting  is  revived 
beyond  the  expectations  of  all  who,  at  the  beginning  of 
the  year,  predicted  that  the  bottom  was  out  of  the  trot- 
ting horse  business.     Time  is  a  great  carpenter. 


This  is  the  second  day  of  Juue  and  on  this  day  entries 
to  the  fair  to  be  given  at  Vallejo  will  close.  Horse- 
owners  cannot  afford  to  overlook  this  meeting.  The 
track  is  one  of  the  fastest  in  this  State  and  since  the  last 
fair  many  improvements  have  been  made  on  it.

Ttie  New  Association. 


Matinee  at  San  Jose. 


The  success  of  the  new  association  of  owners,  trainers 
and  breeders  of  thoroughbreds  is  assured.  Its  long  list 
of  members  contains  the  names  of  the  most  prominent 
men  in  the  business,and  the  earnestness  with  which  they, 
individually  and  collectively,  attend  to  all  details  of 
the  races  now  being  given  at  the  track  augurs  well  for  its 
future. 

While  not  in  favor  of  protracted  race  meetings  the 
idea  of  giving  those  who  had  always  been  clamoring  for 
a  chance,  an  opportunity  to  get  their  horses  in  races  they 
thought  they  ought  to  win,  spread  like  wildfire,  and  as 
soon  as  the  subject  was  properly  brought  before  the 
various  owners,  trainers  and  breeders,  it  was  adopted  un- 
animously. President  Thomas  H.  Williams  Jr.,  J. 
L.  Flood,  and  others  composing  the  California 
Jockey  Club,  came  forward  at  once  and  announced 
their  willingness  to  aid  these  men  to  hold  a  meeting. 
This  magnaminity  on  the  part  of  these  gentleman  will 
not  be  forgotten  nest  fall,  and  the  very  fact  that  the 
track  with  all  its  appointments,  was  generously  loaned 
to  thein  will  cement  more  strongly  the  bond  of  friend- 
ship now  existing  between  them. 

The  appointment  of  starter  H.  D.  Brown  was  a  for- 
tunate one;  his  work  in  that  trying  position  being 
cheered  to  the  echo.  His  predecessor,  while  enjoying  a 
most  enviable  position  as  an  exponent  of  \he  method 
known  as  the  flying  start.never  received  more  unqualified 
praise  from  press  and  public  than  the  present  occupant 
of  the  box,  who  aligns  the  horses  and  when  perfectly 
straight  and  even,  sends  them  away.  This  method,  called 
the  "  standing  start "  has  always  been  a  popular  one 
with  horsemen,  and  its  introduction  again  i3  a  relief  to 
the  eye  and  a  gratification  to  the  backers  of  the  horses. 
The  association  is  to  be  congratulated  on  securing  such  a 
competent  official.  It  would  not  surprise  us  to  hear  of 
his  long  engagement  as  a  starter  by  some  of  the  leading 
associations  of  the  East.  This  is  written  without  any 
reflection  upon  Starter  Ferguson,  whose  method  of  starting 
horses  is  entirely  different.  The  other  offices  are  all  in 
capable  bands,  and  the  endeavors  of  the  members  to 
conduct  the  races  so  that  there  will  be  a  profit  to  divide 
among  each  and  all  is  most  commendable. 

What  the  association  intends  to  do  after  the  close  of 
the  meeting  next  Saturday  is  not  decided.  That  it  will 
help  those  who  belong  to  it  as  members  is  not  doubted, 
and  the  almost  unanimous  support  given  it  by  the  daily 
and  weekly  press  of  this  city  shows  that  its  motive  has 
struck  a  responsive  chord. 


The  news  of  the  organization  of  a  company  of  Ore- 
gon capitalists  who  are  to  build  a  large  establishment  on 
the  Columbia  river,  wherein  they  will  slaughter  at  least 
2,000,000  horses  (according  to  the  daily  press  reports), 
will  be  a  blessing  to  the  turf  and  track  interests.  There 
are  thousands  of  horses  running  wild,  and  as  many  more 
kept  in  servitude,  that  are  only  fit  to  be  slaughtered, 
their  flesh  smoked  and  shipped  abroad  to  he  converted  into 
"Bologna  sausages,"  their  hides  made  into  "buck- 
skin gloves,"  and  the  adipose  tissue  boiled  into  "  hog 
lard."  The  market  for  stray  cats  and  dogs  will  be  ruined, 
but  the  sausage  maker  can  get  choice  cuts  from  the 
mustang  of  the  plains,  or  a  nice  ham  from  a  quarter 
horse  that  has  never  been  branded.  Leaving  all  joking 
aside,  however,  if  200,000  (and  that  13  an  outside  fig- 
ure) carcasses  were  disposed  of  at  this  establishment  it 
would  be  a  benefit  to  every  horse  owner  and  stock  man 
in  the  land.  The  great  ranges  that  are  now  used  ex- 
clusively for  horses  to  graze  upon  will  be  devoted  to 
cattle  and  sheep,  and  prices  for  these  would  then 
keep  from  fluctuating  as  much  as  they  do  to-day.  We 
say,  thtn  :  "All  hail  to  the  great  equine  boiling  establish- 
ment on  the  banks  of  the  Columbia  ;  may  it3  supply  of 
material  la3t  long  enough  to  make  its  promoters  as  com- 
fortable as  every  breeder  of  fine  horses  wishes  them." 


Yesterday  was  the  date  on  which  entries  close  for 
the  races  at  Woodland,  California  State  Fair,  the  P. 
C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  and  Portland.  The  Secretaries 
of  these  will  try  and  have  their  lists  ready  for  publica- 
tion in  our  next  issue. 


The  close  of  the  great  Midwinter  Fair  will  be  devoted 
to  the  grand  equestrian  show,  elaborate  preparations  for 
which  are  being  made.  From  present  indications  it 
promises  to  eclipse  anything  of  the  kind  ever  held  in 
America.  The  200  members  are  working  hard  to  make 
it  a  success. 


Entries  for  the  Golden  Gate  Futurity  Stakes  close 
to-day.  Horsemen  will  be  losing  a  valuable  opportunity 
to  make  money  if  they  overlook  this. 


That  the  high  character  of  the  sport  furnished  by  the 
Ladies'  and  Gentlemen's  Driving  and  Ridiog  Club  at  the 
monthly  matinees  is  fully  appreciated  by  the  public,  was  am- 
ply demonstrated  yesterday  afternoon  by  the  fact  that,  in 
spite  of  the  gloomy  and  foreboding  weather,  over  700  people 
were  attracted  to  Agricultural  Park.  A  noticeable  feature 
of  the  crowd  was  the  large  number  of  ladies,  the  proportion 
being  much  greater  than  is  customarily  seen  at  race  meets. 

The  first  race  on  the  programme  was  for  three-minute 
horses,  the  entries  being  J.  H.  Morehead's  Belladonna,  F.  M. 
Stern's  Bonaparte,  W.  D.  Van  Siclen's  Alice,  Bert  Andrus' 
Nig,  S.  W.  McCarleyJs  Nellie,  A.  E.  Morrison's  Alland  and 
Dr.  W.  D.  McDougall's  Black  Bess.  After  a  little  prelimi- 
nary scoring  the  horses  got  off  well  bunched.  Belladonna 
went  to  the  front,  Alland  second  and  Nig  third.  The  rest 
of  the  horses  trailed  along  behind  well  out  of  the  dust  of  the 
leaders.  Belladona  proved  something  of  a  wonder,  even  to 
her  owner  and  easily  kept  at  the  head  of  the  procession  to 
the  wire.  Alland  and  Nig  raced  down  the  stretch  for  second 
place,  the  former  capturing  it.  The  others  were  holding  a 
series  of  races  all  the  way  up  the  stretch,  but  none  of  them 
reached  the  gate  before  the  flag  fell.  The  time  of  the  heat 
was  2:34*. 

Before  the  next  heat  of  this  race  was  called,  C.  F.  Bunch 
drove  W.  J.  Rea's  little  brown  mare  Tiptinous  for  a  record. 
The  mare  made  a  pretty  trot  in  2:36,  bat  this  did  not  satisfy 
her  driver,  and  after  giviug  her  a  rest  another  trial  was  had. 
This  time  she  succeeded  in  chippiDg  a  second  off  of  the  pre 
vions  time,  making  a  record  of  2:35.  The  quarters  were  made 
in  0:38,  1:17|  and  1:56. 

There  wereonly  three  horses  to  start  in  the  second  heat  of 
the  three-minute  class.  These  were  Belladonna,  Nig  and  Al- 
land. Mr.  Morehouse  was  eighteen  minutes  slow  in  getting 
Belladonna  on  the  track,  and  the  judges  recognized  the  fact 
by  fining  him  $2.50. 

As  soon  as  the  drivers  got  the  word  to  go  Belladonna  made 
for  the  front  and  kept  it  without  a  skip.  Nig  and  Alland 
both  wanted  second  place  badly,  and  they  made  a  pretty  neck- 
and-neck  race  from  the  quarter  to  the  half.  Here  Alland 
pulled  away  and  led  Nig  by  a  couple  of  lengths  as  they  turned 
in  the  stretch.  Then  Alland  broke  long  enough  to  let  Nig 
come  alongside,  and  an  interesting  struggle  down  the  stretch 
ensued.  At  the  gate  it  was  anybody's  race,  but  a  few  yards 
from  the  wire  Alland  stretched  out  and  secured  second  place, 
Belladonna  winning  the  heat  and  race,  Alland  second  and 
Nig  third.     Time  of  heat,  2:37. 

In  the  intermission  before  calling  the  2:40  class  trot,  C.  F. 
Bunch  drove  Don  Pancho  for  a  record.  The  borse  broke 
after  passing  the  wire,  but  canght  neatly  and  finished  the  cir- 
cuit in  2:45. 

In  the  2:40  class  contest  were  entered  W.  B.  Bankin's 
Betsy  K.,  driven  by  D.  J.  Flannery,  A.  E.  Morrison's  Inca 
Jr.,  0.  A.  Lynde's  Lela  H.,  J.  H.  Snyder's  Tony,  M.  C. 
Schalm's  Maud,  J.  W.  Rea's  Tiptinous,  driven  by  F.  Burk- 
holder,  and  C.  M.  Shortridge's  Carrie  Benton. 

This  was  the  most  interesting  event  of  the  day,  the  horses 
being  well  matched.  A  fairly  good  start  was  secured,  with 
Inca  Jr.  and  Carrie  Benton  getting  a  little  the  worst  of  it. 
Lela  H.  forged  to  the  front  at  the  first  turn,  with  Tony  hot 
on  her  tracks  and  Maud,  Tiptinous,  Carrie  Benton  and  Betsy 
B.  in  the  order  named.  Carrie  Benton  was  inclined  to  act 
agly,  showing  a  disposition  to  go  at  most  any  gait  but  a  trot. 
At  the  qnarter  she  got  on  her  feet  again  and  she  started  after 
the  leader,  and  by  the  time  the  stretch  was  reached  was  well 
up  among  the  hopefuls.  Betsy  R.  was  also  disinclined  to 
trot,  and  in  the  last  half  Flannery  was  compelled  to  draw  her 
nearly  to  a  standstill  to  get  her  on  her  feet.  This  put  her 
out  of  the  race.  Lela  H.  caTje  down  the  stretch  with  a  safe 
lead,  with  Tony,  Maud  and  Carrie  Benton  striving  for  place. 
Near  the  flag  Carrie  broke  and  fell  back.  Tiptincus  and  Inca 
Jr.  both  lost  by  breaks,  but  got  inside  the  flag.  Lela  H.  won 
the  heat,  Tony  second,  Maud  third,  Carrie  Benton  fourth, 
Tiptinous  fifth,  Inca  Jr.  sixth,  Betsy  R.  distanced  Time, 
2:37*. 

Inca  Jr.  got  the  best  of  a  good  start  in  the  second  heat  of 
this  race.  His  lead  was  shortlived,  however,  as  at  the  turn 
he  was  passed  by  Tony,  Lela  H.  and  Carrie  Benton.  Lela 
passed  Tony  at  the  quarter  and  Carrie  Benton  followed  Lela 
at  the  half.  Tiptinous  and  Maud  were  racing  along  after 
Tony  and  to  the  stretch  any  one  of  the  four  looked  like  a 
possible  winner.  In  the  stretch  the  race  narrowed  down  to 
Lela,  Carrie  and  Maud.  From  the  gate  in,  Carrie  and  Lela 
made  a  beautiful  race.  Lela  won  the  heat  by  a  head.  Time, 
2:36. 

W.  B.  Rankin,  who  was  dissatis6ed  with  the  showing  made 
by  his  mare  Betsy  R.,  in  the  first  heat,  was  accorded  leave  to 
send  a  trial  mile  against  time.  She  made  it  without  a  skip 
in  2:34i,  three  seconds  faster  than  the  winning  time  in  the 
heat  in  which  he  had  been  distanced. 

By  way  of  diversion  Bridle  Bill.a  long-haired  cowboy  who 
has  been  giving  performances  in  connection  with  one  of  the 
concessions  during  La  Fiesta,  gave  a  brief  exhibition  of  knife 
and  hatchet  throwing. 

For  the  next  event,  a  three- minute  contest,  the  entries 
were  Ben  Davis'  Nellie  Bly,Barstow's  Dell,  A.  Hables'  Jesse, 
J.  A.  Hatch's  Lilly  H ,  R.  Webb's  Hideaway,  J.  Gallegos 
Jr.'s  Chispa. 

A  good  start  being  secured  Nellie  Bly  took  the  lead  but  re- 
signed it  at  the  first  turn  to  Dell.  Chispa  broke  badly  and 
apparently  fell  out  of  the  race.  Dell  also  broke  near  the 
quarter  and  Jesse  took  the  lead.  Chispa  had  now  got  under 
way,  and  succeeded  in  passing  Lilly  H.  and  Hideaway.  At 
the  half  Chispa  had  caught  Jesse,  who  was  leading,  and  the 
two  commenced  a  race  for  the  wire.  Nellie  Bly  went  up  to 
the  third  quarter,  and  Davis*  efforts  to  make  her  catch  put 
her  hopelessly  in  the  rear.  Chispa  led  down  the  stretch  by 
two  lengths  and  held  the  lead  to  the  finish.  Dell  had  been 
gaining  in  the  last  half  and  passed  Jesse.  They  came  under 
the  wire  Chispa  6rst,  Dell  second,  Jesse  third,  Lilly  H. 
fourth  and  Hideaway  fifth.  Nellie  Bly  was  distanced. 
Time,  2:40k 

In  the  second  heat  Jesse  led  to  the  half,  where  he  was 
headed  by  Chispa.  The  latter  was  leading  down  the  stretch 
and  well  out  of  harm's  way,  when  her  driver  cut  from  the 
outside  to  the  pole.  This  is  contrary  to  the  racing  rules,  it 
being  illegal  for  a  driver  to  change  bis  position  after  entering 
the  stretch.  Accordingly,  though  Chispa  came  in  first  he  was 
awarded  fifth  place  in  the  heat,  and  Jesse,  who  was  following, 
was  given  first,  Dell  second,  Hideaway  third,  and  Lilly  !I. 
fourth.     Chispa's  time  was  2:38. 


Chispa  won  the  deciding  heat  handily.  Jesse  second,  Dell 
third,  Hideaway  fourth  and  Lilly  H.  fifth.  Time,  2:37.  The 
trophies  were  awarded  to  Chispa  first,  Jesse  second  and  Dell 
third. 

The  trophies  for  these  three  events  were  of  the  aggregate 
value  of  $150,  and  were  the  finest  yet  given  by  the  club. —

The  investigation  into  the  Columbian  Free-For-AU,  other- 
wise called  the  Alix-Pixley  case  investigation,  came  up  be- 
fore the  Board  of  Appeals  of  the  American  Trotting  Associ- 
ation at  Chicago  last  week,  and,  as  anticipated,  resulted  in 
the  Scotch  verdict  of  "not  proven."  The  only  evidence  of  any 
value  was  that  of  two  witnesses  whose  evidence  directly  con- 
tradicted each  other.  John  C.  Carry  slated  that  Orrin  Hic- 
kok  told  him  that  Bob  Stewart  wanted  to  see  him  after  the 
fourth  heat;  that  he  saw  Stewart,  and  that  the  latter  said  to 
him  :  "Alii  is  erratic,  and  if  you  drop  the  race  no  one  will 
be  the  wiser.  You  can  make  |2,000,  and  there  will  be  $500 
in  the  box  or  the  books."  Curry  also  stated  that  the  same 
proposition  was  renewed  before  the  ninth  heat.  Robert  Stew- 
art denied  absolutely  that  he  ever  made  such  an  offer.  A  t 
this  late  date  such  a  result  was  almost  inevitable.  As  the 
judges  at  the  time  were  informed  by  the  owner  of  Alix,  M. 
J.  Jones,  at  the  time  these  events  are  said  to  have  occurred, 
they  should  have  held  an  immediate  investigation.  No  one 
ever  believed  that  Budd  Doble  had  anything  to  do  with  the 
alleged  proposal,  and  on  the  other  hand  no  one  doubts  that  if 
such  an  arrangement  could  have  been  made  as  that  said  to 
have  been  proposed,  the  pool-box  could  have  made  most  suc- 
cessfully worked. 

We  often  hear  it  said  that  Georges  Wilkes  was  not  well 
patronized  when  first  taken  to  Kentucky,  but  the  first  year 
eighty-three  mares  were  bred  to  him.  Mambrino  Chief  was 
then  regarded  as  the  great  broodmare  sire,  and  the  largest 
number  by  any  one  sire  were  by  Mambrino  Chief,  and  in- 
cluded Queen  Dido,  whose  produce  was  Red  Wilkes,  now  his 
leading  son.  The  American  Clay  mares  ranked  next  in  num- 
ber. The  other  trotting  sires  represented  were  Alexanders 
Abdallah,  Clark  Chief,  Almont,  Belmont,  American  Star  (Joe 
Bunker,  2:19,  being  the  produce),  Mambrino  Pilot  (Prospect 
Maid,  2:23^,  the  offspring),  Gill's  Vermont  (producing  the 
King,  2:29}),  Kentucky  Clay,  Blondie  (2:24|),  Mambrino 
Patchen,  Rosa  Wilkes  (2:18V),  Mambrino  Champion,  Mc- 
Donald's Mambrino,  Brignoli  (2:29$),  Bourbon  Chief,  Al- 
calde, Roscoe  (2:30),  Socrates,  Minna,  Kentucky  Wilkes 
(2:21i),  by  Red  Jacket,  Lear  Mare  (dam  of  Jim  Irvin,  2:23), 
produced  Young  Jim,  Pacing  Abdallah,  Edwin  Forrest,  Joe 
Downing,  Ned  Forrest,  42,  or  a  little  more  than  half,  being 
by  the  above-mentioned  stallions. 


Lamplighter  is  undoubtedly  in  a  bad  way,  and  there  are 
very  grave  doubts  as  to  whether  he  will  face  the  starter  at 
all  this  year.  The  second  splint,  which  made  its  appearance 
just  before  the  Brooklyn  Handicap,  has  affected  the  middle 
tendon  of  the  leg.  It  was  punch  fired,  Mr.  Walbaum  not 
caring  to  subject  the  horse  to  a  severe  application  of  'the 
irons.  The  indications  now  are  that  Lamplighter  will  have 
to  undergo  a  long  course  of  treatment  before  the  trouble  is 
eradicated,  and  at  best  it  is  not  likely  that  he  will  go  to  the 
post  before  the  fall  meeting. 

The  Johannesburg  Autumn  Handicap  was  decided  at  that 
golden  city  in  South  Africa  on  April  23d.  The  race  was  won 
by  a  South  African  horse  named  Forest  King,  an  Australian 
horse  named  Tarran  being  second,  whilst  an  English-bred 
animal  called  Border  Chief  secured  third  place.  The  race 
secured  twenty -six  entries.  Of  these  fourteen  were  English, 
ten  African-born  and  two  bred  in  Australia.  Stuart  was  top 
weight  with  152  pounds.  The  handicap. was  worth  £1,500 
and  the  distance  one  mile. 


Br  an  error  which  inadvertently  crept  into  the  column  of 
Petaluma  entries,  the  following  named  were  placed  in  the 
wrong  position.  Instead  of  being  at  the  bottom  of  the  2:30 
class  pacing,  they  were  attached  to  the  bottom  of  the  2:25 
class  pacing;  W.  D.  Yeargin's  LeeGib ;  C.  A.  Bailey's  Olin- 
da  Richmond  ;  Myers  &  Myers1  Hulda,  and  E.  M.  Sander's 
Ruby  C  

C.  Beuce  Lowe,  the  great  Australian  authority  on  horse- 
breeding,  who  has  been  residing  in  Pasadena  for  the  past 
two  months,  leaves  next  week  for  England,  where  he  has 
already  contracted  for  the  publication  of  a  book  that  will 
supersede  Stonehenge,  Beacon  and  other  famous  writers  on  the 
horse. 

Eddie  Jones,  the  mite  of  a  jockey,  bought  the  good  little 
two-year-old  Silver  yesterday  of  Frank  Van  Nesss  Tears 
came  into  the  boy's  eyes  as  he  saw  Nutwood  led  away  to  an- 
other stable.  It  was  on  this  colt  that  Jones  won  his  first 
mount. 

Hambletoniax  and  Mambrino  Chief  were  the  product  of 
the  same  blood  in  the  same  section,  while  their  sons,  George 
Wilkes  and  Mambrino  Patchen,  were  produced  in  widely- 
separate  sections,  but  the  very  best  results  came  in  running 
these  two  strains  together. 

Horsemen  who  want  to  have  the  best  of  care  taken  of 
their  race  horses  until  the  time  to  take  them  up  again  to 
train  for  the  fall  meeting,  should  write  at  once  to  the 
Merriwa  Stock  Farm  and  learn  full  particulars  regarding 
that  excellent  place.         

Among  the  lot  of  fine  young  horses  to  be  sold  next  Tues- 
day is  an  elegant  pair  of  young  carriage  horses  which  for 
style,  color,  finish  and  disposition  are  not  excelled  by  any 
team  in  California.  They  are  perfectly  matched  and  drive 
well  together. 

FrLL  brothers  and  sisters  to  noted  performers,  but  which 
cannot  trot  fast  themselves,  are  selling  for  a  song  nowadays, 
and  a  short,  low,  plaintive  song  at  that. 

Thomas  Donahue  will  have  a  lot  of  choice  trotters  at 
the  sale  next  Tuesday  which  will  be  valuable  for  road  and 
track  purposes. 

,  There  were  great  sires  in  the  past,  there  are  greater  sires 
at  the  present  time,  and  there  will  be  still  greater  in  the 
future.  

Why  not  geld  some  of  the  old  stallions  that  have  shown 
themselves  to  be  "scrubs"  and  patronize  some  of  the  young 
ones. 

Racin«.  will  end  at  the  Bay  District  track  next  Saturday.

PLBASANTON'S    PRIDE. 


Matinee  Given  at  the    Salisbury  Track   by  the 

Great    Horseman's  Lieutenants  and  Their 

Horses— A  Few  Interesting  Incidents. 

To  enjoy  the  matinee  always  given  by  Monroe  Salisbuay 
previous  to  his  departure  for  the  East  with  his  troupe  of  star 
performers  it  is  only  necessary  to  visit  Pleasanton  when  the 
day  is  announced.  Hospitality  holds  full  sway,  and  every  vis- 
itor is  made  a  guest  and  every  guest  a  friend.  At  the  arrival 
of  the  train,  carriages  are  in  waiting  to  convey  passengers  to 
"Salisburys',"'  a  very  short  distance  over  streets  well  shaded 
by  great  walnut,  poplar  and  eucalyptus  trees.  The  track  is 
easily  distinguished  amid  the  green  fields,  for  the  drivers  be- 
hind their  tlying  horses  are  going  to  and  fro  from  early  morn 
until  late  in  the  afternoon.  It  is  a  busy  time  there  when 
the  horses  that  are  chosen  to  go  East  are  given  to  their  re- 
spective drivers.  Every  one  understands  the  value  of  system 
aud  the  importance  of  time.  When  the  carriages  wheeled  in- 
to the  "court"  last  Saturday,  and  the  passengers  alighted,  Su- 
perintendent Jose  Xeal,  arlable  and  courteous,  escorted  them 
to  the  grand  stand,  while  Mr.  Salisbury  was  giving  orders 
very  quietly. 

Last  Saturday  about  seventy  people  assembled  at  the  track. 
The  weather  was  very  unpleasant,  lowering  clouds  and  a 
very  cold  southerly  breeze — portentous  signs  of  a  com- 
ing storm  detracted  from  the  comfort  of  sitting  and  watching 
the  wonderful  colts,  fillies,  and  old  campaigners  Among  the 
crowd  assembled  we  noticed  many  familiar  people  who  were 
interested  in  the  development  of  light  harness  horses  in  this 
State.  In  the  timer's  stand  were  Jesse  Grant,  son  of  our  late 
ex-President  U.  S.  Grant,  F.  D.  Myers  and  W.  Mendenhall. 
Fast  time  was  not  expected  on  such  a  cloudy,  windy  day,  and 
everyone  felt  that  it  would  be  unfair  to  drive  the  ambitious 
youngsters  against  such  a  strong  head  wind. 

Andy  McDowell,  earnest  and  watchful,  held  the  ribbons 
over  a  number,while  Chas.  James  guided  others  of  the  Pleas- 
anton string.  It  could  not  be  called  a  "  work  out "  day,  for 
Mr.  Salisbury  would  not  take  the  risk  of  having  any  of  his  best 
colts  and  fillies  get  "  off"  by  giving  them  hard  work  on  such 
a  day. 

Flying  Jib,  2:04,  driven  by  Chas.  James,  and  Doc  Sperry, 
2:14',,  were  jogged  several  limes,  and  both  of  them  showed 
that  they  are  ready  for  a  race  now.  Flying  Jib  looked  much 
better  and  stronger  than  he  did  a  year  ago  ;  he  has  filled  out 
and  seems  to  have  wintered  well.  The  balancing  of  this 
horse  was  quite  a  conundrum,  but  Mr.  Salisbury  has  solved 
it,  and  unless  some  accident  happens,  he  will,  about  next 
November,  get  a  mark  of  2:01.  Andy,  the  king  of  pacing 
horse  drivers,  has  never  pulled  a  line  over  him.  He  will, 
however,  when  the  races  commence.  Doc  Sperry  is  a  grand 
horse  and  will  do  to  watch. 

Edenia,  2:13|,  proud  and  handsome  as  ever,  was  given  a 
brush  down  the  homestretch  and  under  Andy's  careful  guid- 
ance shows  that  she  is  ready  for  any  horses  that  are  not  in 
the  free-for-all  class  now. 

Azote,  2:142,  strong  and  vigorous  looking,  without  a  sign  of 
lameness,  trots  better  than  he  did  at  any  lime  since  Orrin  A. 
Hickok  first  gave  him  a  fast  mile  over  this  track.  Mr. 
Salisbury  has  had  his  corns  attended  to  and  as  a  equine  chir- 
opodist he  has  met  with  success  in  this  fellow's  case. 

Bon  Bon,  2:26,  beautiful  as  a  picture,  is  another  delegate 
fortne  East  and  a  strong  candidate  for  2:20  honors.  She  is 
a  perfect  trotter  and  has  all  the  qualifications  so  essential  for 
a  campaigner. 

Don  Lowell,  2:20},  was  given  a  sharp  spurt  for 
a  half,  and  demonstrated  his  ability  to  be  a  famous 
trotter  this  year.  We  never  saw  a  horse  improve  in  appear- 
ance as  this  one  in  such  a  short  time.  He  has  the  appearance 
of  a  racehorse  now  ;  three  months  ago  he  was  thick  fat  and 
round  as  a  Cleveland  Bay.  Don  Lowell  is  a  line  trotter. 
Looking  at  him  as  he  comes  toward  you  on  the  homestretch 
only  two  feet  and  legs  are  to  be  seen,  neither  scooping  nor 
paddling  is  noticeable.  After  he  came  in  he  finished  so  strong 
we  were  desirous  of  seeing  if  he  was  distressed,  but  to  our 
surprise,  he  hardly  gave  a  long  breath.  He  travels  with 
very  light  shoes  before  and  behind,  carries  bis  head  well  out 
and  seems  to  take  a  delight  in  doing  his  best.  That  Don 
Lowell  will  make  many  friends  among  the  lovers  of  a  pure 
gaited  trotting  stallion  is  conceded  by  all. 

Rokeby,  a  big  slashing  three-year-old  pacer,  by  Director, 
out  of  Lilly  Stanley,  was  given  a  fast  half  as  a  breather.  He 
is  open-gaited,  but,  being  out  of  the  fastest  daughter  of  Whip- 
pleton,  Lily  Stanley,  and  by  her  old-time  competitor,  Direc- 
tor, there  is  no  doubt  he  will  be  one  of  the  game  boys  among 
the  gamest  green  side-wheelers  on  the  Eastern  circuit.  He 
has  all  the  requisites  needed  to  make  him  a  successful  money 
winner. 

A  two-year-old  by  Direct,  2:05A,  out  of  a  mare  by  Naubuc 
(brother  to  the  great  Thomas  Jefferson.  2:24)  was  next 
hitched  up.  He  is  called  Directly.  A  well-known  horsemen 
watched  the  men  getting  him  ready,  and  then  walked 
over  to  Mr.  Salisbury  and  asked  :  "  1  say,  Mr.  Salisbury  are 
you  going  to  give  Direct  a  work  out  ?" 

Mr.  Salisbury  looked  at  him  for  an  inslaut,  and  replied  : 
"  Yea,  I  guess  it  will  do  him  do  harm." 

The  reason  the  question  was  asked  need  not  be  wondered 
at,  for  a  more  perfect  likeness  of  the  horse  either  standing  or 
inaction  was  never  seen.  Directly  is  a  good  two-year-old, 
and  as  the  oldest  of  Direct's  get  to  appear  on  the  turf,  Mr. 
Salisbury  has  taken  an  almost  "fatherly  pride"  in  him. 

Miss  Kate,  a  well-formed  bay  two-year-old,  out  of  Fanny 
K.,  by  Redwood,  2:27,  by  Redwood,  was  jogged  up  and  down 
the  homestretch  and  then  turned  loose  for  a  quarter.  As  a 
trotter  she  will  be  a  credit  to  her  sire  and  dam  in  any  com- 
pany of  her  age  in  the  Fast.  She  has  the  same  slrong  back 
and  loins  so  noticeable  in  all  of  Directs  progeny, and  her  legs 
and  feet  are  like  his,  that  is,  they  are  like  steel  and  whale- 
bone. 

Mary  <  >nborne,  the  beautiful  bay  iilly  that  the  late  Senator 
Stanford  look  such  a  pride  in  before  the  great  scythe-bearer 
cut  him  down,  wan  driven  by  Andy  McDowell.  She  paces 
a  little  and  then  break*  into  the  squares!  trot  imaginable. 
Monroe  Salisbury's  attention  was  called  to  this,  and  he  re- 
plied in  an  instant,  as  if  it  writ-  something  he  look  delight 
in  telling  :  "Yes,  she  does,  and  1  like  her  all  the  more  for  it. 
N:.ncy  I  lacks.  Maud  8.,  Directum,  Jay-KvtSei-,  Margaret  B., 
Direct,  Azote,  Kelson,  and  a  More  of  others  1  could  name 
were  inclined  to  pace  naturally,  and  they  are  all  n  ted  as 
great  campaigners.  1  like  this  daughter  of  A/.moor  very 
much.'  Aftei  peeing  her  move,  it  was  no  wonder  he  ex- 
pressed so  decided  an  opinion  of  her. 


The  three-year-old  filly  Alene,  2:26,  by  Cceur  d'Alene, 
out  of  Lakeland  Queen  was  about  as  speedy  a  mover  as  shown 
to-day,  and  on  the  Eastern  circuit  will  lower  her  record  con- 
siderably. 

Royana,  by  Director,  out  of  Roxana,  by  Gibraltar,  will  trot 
out  of  the  maiden  class  when  she  hears  the  bell  ring  in  the 
judges'  stand  for  the  first  time.     She  is  a  good  one. 

Expressive,  by  Electioneer,  out  of  Esther,  by  Express,  is  in 
excellent  condition  ;  in  fact,  all  of  the  trottters  and  pacers 
that  are  to  leave  for  the  East  appear  to  be  ready  for  racing 
now.  Expressive  is  a  very  highly-finished  young  mare, 
and  a  frictionless-gaited  trotter,  if  there  ever  was  one.  She 
trotted  close  to  2:20  in  her  races  last  year,  but  never  got  a  rec- 
ord in  Mr.  Hickok's  bands;  always  seemed  to  be  in  a  race  with 
some  one  a  little  faster.  It  is  hoped  no  such  ill  luck  will 
follow  her  this  year.  Expressive  is  the  last  living  foal  sired 
by  Electioneer. 

Palatine,  2:23$,  the  level-headed  and  smooth-gaited  daugh- 
ter of  that  other  hero  of  Menlo  Park,  Palo  Alto,  2:08 J,  seems 
to  be  able  to  lower  her  mark  considerably.  What  a  race 
mare  she  is  !  will  be  the  exclamation  of  all  who  see  her 
come  down  the  homestretch. 

Aliivo,  a  bay  four-year-old  stallion,  is  another  one  of  the 
great  Electioneer-Dame  Winnie  representatives  to  make 
that  writer  of  nonsense  about  Palo  Alto,  C.  T.  Harris,  feel  as 
if  he  ought  to  never  put  his  pen  to  paper  unless  he  knows 
what  he  is  talking  about.  Altivo,  being  a  full  brother  to  Palo 
Alto,  will  be  closely  watched  while  on  the  Eastern  circuit. 
He  will  suit  the  practical  horsemen  who  are  seekirg  con- 
formation as  well  as  speed  and  pedigree. 

All  of  the  above-named  are  to  appear  on  the  Eastern  cir- 
cuit. Besides  these,  there  are  several  others  that  will  be 
taken  East.  At  Capt.  Millen  Griffiths'  suggestion,  the  audi- 
ence was  treated  to  a  very  interesting  exhibition  of  driving 
given  by  Professor  Mingo,  "  the  Gleason  of  the  Pacific."  This 
gentleman  is  of  African  descent  but  he  can  handle  a  balky 
horse  to  perfection.  Seated  behind  that  speedy  but  erratic 
gelding,  White  Cap,  he  passed  Flying  Jib  on  his  way  to  port, 
and  by  pulling  on  the  lide  on  the  starboard  side,  he  steered 
the  famous  flyer  north,  northeast,  but  after  going  about  three 
lengths  he  tacked  and  once  more  headed  for  home  to  get  a 
good  start.  White  Cap  did  not  seem  to  answer  the  helm  and 
Professor  Mingo,  looking  behind,  saw  that  the  blanket  be 
was  sitting  on  was  slack  and  flapping  back  and  forth  in  the 
wind;  30  he  stopped  and  cast  it  overboard  on  the  course.  Freed 
from  so  much  ballast,  the  gelding  moved  very  smoothly,  but 
again  the  Professor  yanked  him  around  and  brought  the 
sidewheeler  up  in  the  teeth  of  the  wind,  which  was  blowing 
twenty  knots,  and  a  storm  was  seen  brewing  at  the  first  quar- 
ter. When  squared  away  the  Professor  leaned  well  over  the 
port  side  and  in  stentorian  tones  whispered:  "Whew  !  git 
along  dar  !  Git  dar,  what's  de  matter  wid  you  ?"  Not  recog- 
nizing that  angelic  but  forcible  language,  and  knowing  that 
it  was  not  Andy  McDowells  or  Kelly's,  White  Cap  flew 
as  if  to  get  out  of  the  sound  of  it.  Capt.  GtifEths  smiled 
broadly  as  he  saw  how  perfectly  his  famous,  but  aggravating, 
horse  obeyed  the  injunctions  of  his  new  driver.  The  first 
quarter  was  timed  in  thirty  seconds  but  Professor  kept 
whispering  encouragingly  to  the  horse.  Suddenly,  the  white 
steed,  on  passing  the  half,  stopped  as  if  he  had  struck  a  rock, 
but  the  brave  pilot  leaned  forward  until  his  hands  almost 
touched  the  horse's  saddle,  and  with  the  strength  of  a  San- 
dow  he  yanked  the  bead  of  the  fractious  animal  to  port,  and 
then  to  starboard,  until  the  steed  thought  its  neck  was  in  dan- 
ger of  cracking,  and  while  wondering  what  was  going 
to  happen  next,  his  head  was  released  so  that  he  could  hear 
the  soft,  sweet  words  of  his  master  encouraging  him  to  go 
forward,  so  he  stopped  hot  on  the  order  of  going,  but  he 
flew.  Down  toward  the  harbor,  over  which  the  line  was 
stretched,  White  Cap  made  a  bee  line,  never  altering  his 
course,  but  wiggled  in  at  a  two-minute  clip  as  if  in  a  hurry, 
the  "Git  along  dar,  what's  de  matter  wid  you?"  being  repeated 
with  increasing  emphasis  and  volume  at  every  rod.  Profes- 
sor Mingo  was  cheered  to  the  echo  for  his  wonderful  work 
with  the  horse,  and  Mr.  Salisbury  thinks  seriously  of  engag- 
ing him  to  drive  him  in  all  of  his  races.  After  Profes- 
sor Mingo  retired  E.  M.  Sanders  brought  out  Little  Albert, 
2:10.  He  never  looked  better.  Behind  him  came  Dan  Law- 
rence with  Cyrus,  2:14,  the  great  pacer  that  made  such  a  suc- 
cessful campaign  last'year.  Dan  has  the  horse  in  perfect  con- 
dition, and  will  have  little  or  no  trouble  in  getting  him  into 
the  free-for-all  classes  before  Thanksgiving  Day.  The  two 
moved  around  the  track  at  a  merry  clip,  and  elicited  words 
of  praise  from  all  who  saw  them. 

Wm.  Murray  then  brought  out  Diablo,2:09J,  and  the  hand- 
some chestnut  moved  as  strongly  as  he  did  last  year.  His  rec- 
ord will  be  lowered  this  fall.  Mr.  Salisbury  would  like  to 
take  him  East  and  give  him  a  race  against  Robert  J.,  2:05$, 
and  would  lay  a  heavy  wager  he  could  defeat  him,  but  Mr. 
Murray  does  not  care  to  let  the  horse  go. 

A.  Alviso  sent  Rosita  A.,  2:18,  along  at  a  good  lively  pace 
behind  Diablo,  and  from  the  way  she  moves  she  will  be  a 
dangerous  mare  in  her  class  this  year. 

J.  A.  Bilz  exhibited  the  McKerron  &  Clawson  automatic 
brake  for  sulkies  and  its  perfect  control  over  the  sulky  while 
the  horse  stood  on  his  hind  feet  and  reared  demonstrated  most 
clearly  that  no  sulky  will  be  complete  without  one.  By  its 
construction  it  was  also  shown  that  it  is  impossible  for  a  com- 
peting horse  to  overturn  or  run  into  a  sulky  that  has  one  of 
these  brakes  on  without  injury  to  himself  or  the  vehicle  he  is 
in. 

Big  drops  of  rain  began  falling,  and  as  the  time  for  the 
trains  to  the  city  approached,  the  visitors  were  all  taken  in 
carriages  to  the  depot,  well  pleased  with  the  day's  enjoyment.

Shetlands  at  a  Bargain. 

Xkw  York,  May  29. — Among  the  horses  sold  at  the 
American  Horse  Exchange  to-day  were  thirty  ponies  by 
Shetland  sires  out  of  thoroughbred  dams.  They  came  from 
Rancho  del  Paso  with  J.  B.  Haggin's  thoroughbred  year- 
lings. Neat,  brisk  little  animals  they  were,  averaging  from 
40  to  44  inches.  They  were  being  bought  at  about  $50  each, 
but  when  seven  or  eight  were  sold  at  these  prices.  Mr.  Hag- 
gin  withdrew  the  remainder,  saying  he  would  rather  give 
them  away.  This  seemed  to  waken  up  some  of  the  spectators, 
and  in  an  hour  or  so  most  of  them  had  changed  owners  at 
private  sale  for  $150  and  $200  a  pair. 

Colonel  Frederick  Gh  Skinnek,  one  of  the  editors  of 
the  Turf,  Field  aud  Farm,  died  May  22,  at  Cbarlottsville. 
He  was  about  ten  years  old  when  Lafayette  visited  the  United 
Stales.  He  commanded  the  First  Virginia  regiment  during 
the  war  and  afterward  spent  some  time  in  Egypt. 


Monroe  Salisbury's  Two-Minute  Horse. 


No  man  in  America  has  been  closer  identified  with  the 
work  of  developing  horses  that  are  now  known  as  kings  of 
the  trotting  and  pacing  turf  than  Monroe  Salisbury.  All  the 
time  his  energies  were  enlisted  in  this  great  undertaking, 
however,  he  had  an  idea  that  he  ought  to  be  able  to  breed 
a  two-minute  horse  according  to  the  theories  and  practice 
he  had  seen  in  his  experience  on  this  coast  as  well  as  on  the 
tracks  in  the  East. 

He  did  not  broach  the  subject  to  any  but  his  necrest  friends 
and  even  that  circle  was  limited  to  those  who  had  made  the 
subject  of  breeding  a  study.  For  the  purpose  of  having  a 
mare  with  a  thoroughbred  foundation  he  looked  around  to  see 
one  that  was  bred  right.  He  heard  of  Queen  Emma,  by 
Woodburn,  a  great  race  mare  that  ran  miles  in  1:42.  She 
was  the  dam  of  the  great  race  horses  King  Daniels,  Cheerful, 
Samson,  Ruth,  Accident  and  Rachel.  Queen  Emma 
was  foaled  in  1873  and  consequently  was  well  along  in  years. 
She  was  out  of  Peggy  Ringgold,  by  Ringgold  ,  son  of  Boston 
and  Flirtilla,  she  by  Sir  Arcby,  and  was  the  first  foal.  Peggy 
Ringgold  was  also  the  dam  of  Fanny  D.,  Cousin  Peggy  (dam 
of  the  great  Geraldine),  Aunt  Bessie,  Uncle  Tom,  Cyclone 
and  Regalia,  all  winners.  Her  second  dam  was  Little  Peggy, 
by  Cripple  (son  of  Medoc),  that  was  also  the  dam  of  a  num- 
ber of  famous  ones,  including  Rural,  by  Ruric,  Agnes  Dono- 
van, Lilly,  Sovereign  Jr.,  Ivanhoe  and  Fanny  Ellsler;  third 
dam  Peggy  Stewart,  by  Cook's  Whip.,  etc 

Woodburn,  sire  of  Queen  Emma,  was  by  Lexington,  out  of 
Heads-I-Say  (third  dam  of  Almonaroh,  sire  of  the  dam  of 
Fantasy,  2:08|)  by  imp.  Glencoe ;  second  dam  Heads  or  Tails, 
by  Lottery,  and  so  on  to  the  thirteenth  dam,  a  daughter  of 
Spanker.  Woodburn's  name  appears  quite  often  in  the  pedi- 
grees of  Californian  trotters,  as  he  was  brought  to  this  State 
by  John  Hall,  of  Alvarado,  and  was  bred  to  trotting  mares  as 
well  as  thoroughbreds.  He  is  the  sire  of  Monarch,  2:28},  and 
the  dams  of  Victor,  2:22,  (Hayseed  Dougherty's  famous 
campaigner),  Emaline,  2:27  £,  Emma  R.,  2:28J,  and  Rowena, 
2:194  ;  and  his  son,  Ben  Wade,  is  the  sire  of  the  dams  of  Ben 
Corbitt,  2:21,  and  Dick  Richmond,  2:20.  One  of  Woodburn's 
daughters,  Jeannette,  is  the  grandam  of  that  great  campaigner, 
Beaury  Mc,  2:14i.  So  in  choosing  a  famous  daughter  of  the 
grandly-formed  stallion  Woodburn  as  the  first  thoroughbred 
top  cross,  Mr.  Salisbury  was  quite  fortunate.  He  had  on  the 
Pleasanton  Stock  Farm,  Thistle  son  of  Sidney,  2:19£,  and 
Fern  Leaf,  by  Flaxtail,  and  as  Queen  Emma  knew  no  other 
gaits  but  a  walk  and  a  gallop  he  determined  to  breed  her  to 
this  black  stallion  that  had  shown  him  halves  in  1:05.  This 
was  before  the  horse  had  a  record  as  a  pacer  or  a  sire.  His 
idea  was  to  see  if  Thistle  could  transmit  his  splendid  action  to 
the  progeny  if  bred  to  a  mare  that  was  as  much  of  a  galloper 
as  Queen  Emma.  In  time  a  black  filly,  just  like  her  sire, 
appeared  and  it  was  a  pacer.  He  was  delighted  to  see 
thai  his  experiment  was  a  success,  but  he  had  his  mind 
fixed  upon  a  definite  plan  to  get  more  speed  and  gameness. 
So  far  he  had  made  good  headway.  He  bred  this  black  filly 
to  Direct,  2:05i,  and  two  weeks  ago  she  dropped  a  colt  as 
black  as  a  raven's  wing,  and  it  is  a  pacer,  and  a  wonderfully 
fast  one.  Nothing  at  Pleasanton  has  been  seen  to  approach  it 
in  the  way  of  speed  and  conformation. 

When  Mr.  Salisbury  returned  from  the  paddock  where  the 
little  one  was  playing  last  Saturday,  he  said  :  "  Well,  I  don't 
know  whether  I  am  conceited  about  many  things  or  not,  but 
do  you  know  that  the  little  black  rascal  (meaning  Direct)  suits 
me  as  a  sire.  I  do  not  know  as  I  have  ever  seen  his  equal. 
I  was  out  their  to  see  that  little  black  one,  and  something 
seems  to  tell  me  that  if  nothing  happens  I  have  seen  the 
coming  two-minute  performer.  When  you  come  to  apply  all 
the  rules  of  breeding  for  disposition,  conformation  and  speed, 
it  struck  me  that  even  if  we  figure  it  out  mathematically,  this 
one  has  a  right  to  be  a  two-minute  horse.  Thistle,  the  sire 
of  his  dam,  has  a  record  of  2:13f.  I  could  have  given  him  a 
mark  of  2:10  last  year  on  this  track  easily,  and  remembering 
this,  let  us  figure  a  little.  Queen  Emma  ran  miles  in  1:42, 
that  is  102  seconds  ;  Thistle's  record  is  2:13|  or  133|  seconds  ; 
Direct's  record  is  2:05i,or  125£  seconds;  102  and  133f  and  3  25 £ 
equals  361}  seconds,  the  average  of  that  is  120  and  a  fraction, 
which  is  a  little  over  two  minutes  for  the  mile,  and  if  we 
count  on  the  trial  miles  that  Queen  Emma  has  shown  in 
l:41f,  and  what  Thi6tle  did  (previous  to  racing),  miles  in 
2:10i,  you  can  see  that  I  am  making  plenty  of  allowances, 
not  counting  the  wonderful  speed  shown  me  by  Direct  in  his 
trials  against  the  watch  right  on  this  track.  It  is  a  curious 
but  interesting  compilation,  but  I  think  it  never  was  figured 
out  this  way  before ;"  saying  this,  he  walked  to  the  door  of  the 
little  office  in  which  we  were  sitting,  looked  out.  and  told 
us  to  come  and  see  Andy  drive  Doc  Sperry  a  fast  quarter. 
We  followed  him  to  the  track  wondering  what  was  the  next 
idea  this  great  horseman  might  expound  for  the  benefit  of 
students  of  trotting  horse  literature. 

T.  H.  Williams'  Departure. 


Thomas  H.  Williams  Jr.,  the  President  of  the  California 
Jockey  Club,  Bailed  for  Japan  on  the  steamer  Gaelic  Tues- 
day. Mr.  Williams  has  given  his  entire  attention  during  the 
past  year  to  perfecting  high-class  horseraoing  in  California, 
and  it  may  be  said  to  his  credit  that  he  has  achieved  phe- 
nomenal success.  Taking  into  consideration  the  population 
to  be  drawn  from  and  the  dangerous  and  expensive  journey 
Eastern  horsemen  had  to  make  in  order  to  come  here,  Mr. 
Williams,  through  his  own  personal  efforts,  made  the  race 
meeting  of  the  past  winter  more  successful,  from  every  point 
of  view,  than  any  ever  before  held  on  this  Coast.  The  result 
of  his  work,  however,  is  impaired  health  and  {for  this  reason 
he  is  taking  a  trip  to  Japan.  His  stay  there  will  be 
limited  to  a  week  or  two,  as  he  will  come  back  on  the  Gaelic 
on  her  return  voyage. 

A  party  of  friends  accompanied  Mr.  Williams  on  the  Gae- 
lic out  as  far  as  the  Heads.  It  was  a  lively  party,  and  be- 
tween the  pops  of  the  champagne  corks  they  gave  Mr.  Wil- 
liams every  evidence  of  good  will  and  best  wishes  for  a  safe 
journey  and  speedy  return.  Messrs.  Hallen  and  Murphy  did 
the  "  buck  and  wing"  dance  on   the  roof  of  the  pilot-house. 

It  would  not  be  surprising  if  W.  W.  P.  took  a  fall  out  of 
the  free-for-all  pace  at  the  Overland  Park  June  meeting. 
John  Kelly  has  already  stepped  him  a  mile  in  2:lo{,  and 
Colorado's  greatesr  sidewheeler  is  going  as  steady  as  a  clock.

A  lot  of  Chinese  pheasants  have  been  received  at  Santa 
Croz,  to  be  turned  loose  in  that  vicinity. 

The  Olympic  Gun  Club  is  an  assured  fact.  Some  twenty 
odd  members  have  handed  in  their  names  to  Secretary  Ken- 
nedy, and  this  number  will  be  largely  increased  before  the 
close  of  the  season. 

Geo.  Work  and  Fred  Hoey  shot  another  contest  for  the 
Riverton  Challenge  Plate  on  May  19th.  They  each  killed 
90  oat  of  100  birds.  Id  the  tie  Work  killed  24  out  of  25  to 
Hoey's23,  and  won  the  plate. 

A  game  keeper  in  South  Ayrshire  writes  the  Shooting 
Times,  that  on  the  shooting  he  has  lately  gone  to  he  has 
found  the  remains  of  200  grouse  that  had  been  killed  by  the 
wire  fences  about  the  estate. 


A  petition  is  being  circulated  and  extensively  signed  by 
the  citizens  of  Santa  Clara  county,  which  will  be  presented  to 
the  Board  of  Supervisors,  asking  them  to  change  the  opening 
of  the  dove  season  from  August  1st  to  July  1st. 

A  visitor  at  this  office  tells  of  a  queer  accident  that  befell 
a  rattlesnake  that  he  once  found.  The  snake  had  apparently 
swallowed  a  rabbit,  crawled  half  way  through  a  picket  fence 
and  then  swallowed  rabbit  number  two,  as  a  result  when 
found  by  our  informant,  the  snake  could  not  extricate  itself 
from  the  fence. 

The  anti-preserve  faction  continue  to  groan  and  lament 
that  it  will  only  be  a  little  while  when  they  will  have  to  go 
a  long  way  to  catch  a  mess  of  fish  or  shoot  a  bag  of  ducks  or 
quail.  They  forget  that  it  is  the  indiscriminate  slaughter  of 
game  by  the  masses  that  has  caused  the  present  cordition  of 
affairs,  and  makes  preserves  a  necessity. 

The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Club  celebrated  their 
victory  over  the  Country  Club  by  burning  red  fires,  shooting 
off  rockets  and  eating  clam  chowder  cooked  by  that  veteran

A  Beaver  Hunt  in  Norway. 


One  day  towards  the  end  of  October,  1890,  I  happened  to 
meet  an  old  friend,  and  my  teacher  in  "the  noble  art  of  hunt- 
ing," Peter  Hansen,  headkeeper  to  the  late  Lieutenant-Gov- 
ernor Aal,  owner  of  the  great  estate  and  ironworks  at  Nasi 
situated  in  the  southeast  of  Norway,  who  told  me  that  "the 
governor  "  had  given  him  orders  to  proceed  to  the  "  beaver 
colony"  at  Fladen,  in  Omlid  parish,  and  obtain  a  beaver  for 
the  Upsala  Museum.  This  was  my  opportunity.  "  May  I 
come  with  you  ?"  I  asked.  "Most  certainly,"  he  replied, 
"  but  you  had  better  first  consult  the  governor."  So  I  did, 
and  the  venerable  Ninrod  at  once  gave  his  sanction  with  his 
customary  courtesy. 

We  next  arranged  the  day  for  our  start,  and  settled  that 
we  would  take  the  paths  through  the  woods  to  the  river,  a 
distance  of  about  ten  English  miles.  1  was  to  bring  my  cap- 
ital hare-hound  Rap  (Rapid),  and  as  there  was  plenty  of 
game  in  this  neighborhood,  we  looked  forward  to  some  good 
shooting  on  the  way,  as  well  as  at  Fladen,  if  our  stay  there 
should  last  some  days,  which  appeared  most  probable.  For 
Herr  Aal  had  instructed  us  to  treat  the  beaver  colony  with 
as  much  consideration  as  possible — it  was  a  treasure  he  valued 
very  highly — but  we  were  allowed,  if  need  be,  to  use  any 
means  we  might  choose  to  obtain  possession  of  a  specimen  of 
these  rare  animals.  Without  one  wewere  not  to  return.  Fur- 
ther, we  were  told  not  to  shoot  in  deep  water,  as  the  beaver 
generally  sinks  immediately  when  dead. 

The  day  oi  the  departure  arrived,  but  no  Rap.  He  had, 
as  often  before  just  when  he  was  required,  started  on  a  trip 
of  his  own  through  the  valleys,  and  as  I  knew  he  would  be 
be  awav  two  or  three  days  when  once  ofi",  I  ordered  him  to 
be  sent  after  me,  and  we  started  with  a  small,  indifferent  dog 
belonging  to  H. 

It  was  a  lovely  bright  autum  morning  when  we  set  out.  Our 
baggage  was  light,  as  we  only  carried  with  us  a  waterproof 
and  an  extra  pair  of  socks  each.  However,  any  shooting  on 
the  way  we  failed  to  obtain  through  the  want  of  a  good  dog, 
and  in  the  course  of  the  afternoon  we  arrived  at  Fladen, 
where  we  were  kindly  received  by  the  poor  but  hospitable 
cottagers. 

The  spot  is  situated  on  the  Areudal  river,  or,  as  it  is  also 
called,  the  Nid  river.  The  surrounding  landscape  is  far  from 
being  wild,  on  the  contrary,  rather  hilly  and  soft,  but  decided- 
ly attractive.  The  river  in  this  locality  is  broad,  and  parts 
into  several  channels,  forming  islands,  on  the  two  largest  of 
which  the  beavers  had  established  their  colonies.  At  that 
time  the  pine  forest  was  thick  and  lofty  on  both  banks  of  the 
stream,  but  it  has  been  sadly  thinned  since.  The  property 
passed  into  the  hands  of  timber  speculators  ;  theforest  was 
cut  down,  thousands  of  logs  filled  the  river,  cnesand  halloas 
of  the  lumbermen  rent  the  air.  The  beaver  began  to  find  the 
place  uncomfortoble,  and  emigrated  to  more  quiet  haunts. 

We  were,  as  I  have  said,  well  received,  but  when  asking 
for  something  to  eat  the  damping  answer  was  that  the  people 
had  only  potatoes  and  curdled  milk  to  offer  us.  Well,  pota- 
toes and  curdled  milk  are  well  enough  in  their  way  for  once, 
but  to  constitute  onr  only  sustenance  for,  say  two  or  three 
days,  could  hardly  be  considered  satisfactory,  to  say  the  least, 
and  we  cursed  Rap  a  good  deal  for  his  vagrancy,  as  if  he  had 
been  with  us  we  should  have  been  in  no  want  of  game.  How- 
ever, the  matter  could  not  be  helped,  aud  we  could  but  hope 
that  he  would  arrive  the  next  or  the  day  after.  But  this  I 
must  put  on  record,  that  during  the  stay  at  Fladen  I  had  so 
much  potatoes  and  curdled  milk  that  ever  afterwards  the 
very  mention  of  these  otherwise  excellent  articles  turns  me 
sick. 

We  got  a  man  to  pull  us  about  the  river,  and  to  show  us 
the  beaver  huts,  in  order  to  make  us  familiar  with  the  locality, 
and  after  that  we  decided  to  lie  in  ambush  before  a  hut  on 
the  Mari  Island  in  the  night.  We  borrowed  a  light  raft,  on 
which  we  could  punt  about  noiselesslv  among  the  islands,  and 
a  little  before  sunset  we  took  up  our  quarters  before  the  hut 
which  we  had  singled  out. 

NTow  misfortune  would  have  it  that  H.,  in  addition  to  a 
bad  cold  which  he  had  caught,  also  suffered  from  a  most  ex 
cruciating  cough,  an  infliction  bad  enough  in  ordinary  condi" 
tionsof  sport  but  ten  times  worse  when  lying  in  ambush  for 
your  spoil.  Poor  fellow,  he  contorted  his  face  in  the  most 
comical  manner,  and  nearly  choking  himself  in  keeping  the 
cough  down,  so  that  I  myself  had  as  much  trouble  to  keep 
from  laughing  as  he  from  coughing,  and  the  situation  became 
alarming  to  our  prospects.  The  moon  was  full,  and  now  and 
then  a  beaver  became  visible,  uatil  we  could  count  eight,  and 
they  kept  swimming  within  range  too.  But  we  abstained  from 
firing,  fearing  that  the  water  there  was  too  deep,  and  we 
waited  and  waited  for  several  hours  in  hope  of  a  better  situa- 
tion, when,  alas!  my  companion's  cough,  kept  back  so  long, 
broke  out  with  redoubled  violence,  and  the  shy  animals  in- 
stantly disappeared  from  view. 

It  was  now  getting  cold,  and  we  froze  a  good  deal  as  we 
walked  back  to  our  quarters  by  the  road,  conversing  upon  the 
rare  and  interesting  spectacle  which  we  had  witnessed.  We 
almost  regretted  that  we  had  not  had  a  shot  at  one  of  the 
animals  ;  there  was  in  particular  a  very  fine  one,  which  we 
had  spotted,  and  this  animal  we  decided  to  "  go  for  "  at  the 
first  opportunity. 

The  next  day  was  spent  in  walking  about  the  islands,  where 
we  followed  with  interest  a  number  of  trails,  or  rather  tracks, 
of  the  animals,  clearly  indicating  that  the  stock  of  beavers 
here  was  not  by  any  means  a  small  one.  Indeed,  besides  the 
footprints  in  the  sand  of  the  animals  along  the  shore,  there 
were  in  all  directions  "  timber  runs,"  which  through  constant 
use  doriog  numbers  of  years,  looked  like  cut  ditches  several 
feet  in  depth,  whilst  portions  of  stems  and  branches  of  trees 
with  or  without  bark,  gnawed  into  regular  and  carefully  pro- 
portioned lengths,  lay  iu  all  directions.  Whole  trees  had 
been  felled,  too,  by  the  root,  and  others  were  gnawed  half  or 
partly  through.  The  only  species  of  tree  attacked  appeared 
to  be  ash. 

At  night  we  were  again  lying  perdu,  each  at  different  points, 
but  again  without  result.  That  night  no  beaver  came  within 
range  at  all,  and  we  began  seriously  to  think  that  the  capture 
of  one  would  indeed  be  a  very  troublesome  matter.  So  the 
next  day  we  set  up  some  strong  stock  traps  in  the  paths  fol- 
lowed by  the  animals,  and  again  mounted  guard.  But  alas  ! 
the  result  was  as  disappointing  as  on  the  two  previous  nights. 
In  the  morning  we  went  to  look  at  our  traps,  but  the  beavers 
had  been  too  artful  for  us.  Not  one  had  gone  in.  In  fact, 
those  that  had  been  burdened  with  logs  had  left  them  in  front 
of  the  traps  and  gone  around,! 

At  noon,  upon  returning  to  our  quarters,  we  found   Rap 


tied  up  in  our  room,  the  meeting  being  as  warm  on  our  side 
as  on  Kis,  for  now  we  should  get  something  decent  to  eat.  In 
half  an  hour,  too,  we  had  bagged  two  tine  hares,  and  after  a 
good  dinner  (the  only  real  meal  for  three  days)  we  began 
again  to  prepare  for  the  night  watch,  having  decided  to 
remain  all  night  in  ambush. 

I  chose  my  post  at  a  path  much  used  by  the  beavers 
folded  my  waterproof  to  sit  on,  and  waited  patiently  coming 
events. 

Presently  I  heard  a  beaver  coming  up  behind  me  and  begin 
to  gnaw  at  a  tree.  I  did  not  dare  to  turn  to  look  for  fear  of 
disturbing  it,  but  twisting  my  head  a  little  on  one  side,  I  saw 
the  top  of  an  ash  tree  close  by  move,  so  close  that  I  became 
apprehensive  of  its  tumbling  over  me.  Still  I  remained 
quiet,  ready  to  spring  aside  if  it  should  fall  my  way.  Sud- 
denly the  tree  toppled  over,  but  away  from  me.  For  a  while 
all  was  silent,  but  presently  the  scratching  sound  began  again. 
Whilst  the  noise  lasted  I  had  by  degrees  succeeded  in  turning 
round,  but  although  the  beaver  could  not  be  more  than  fifteen 
or  twenty  yards  away,  it  was  almost  impossible  to  see  it 
through  the  density  of  the  undergrowth  where  it  was  at 
work,  the  more  so  as  the  moon  had  set,  and  it  was  rather 
dark  all  round. 

Toward  midnight  all  became  again  quiet,  and  I  heard  no 
more  of  the  animals  that  night.  At  about  seven  H.  whistled 
to  me  and  I  hastened  to  him.  Only  when  moving  I  became 
aware  of  how  cold  I  was.  When  meeting  our  teeth  chattered 
so  that  we  could  hardly  speak,  and  we  set  off  for  a  fine  spin 
home  to  get  the  blood  in  circulation. 

Thus  Friday,  Saturday  and  Sunday  passed  in  night-watches 
and  setting  traps,  varied  with  a  little  hare  shooting.  But  all 
in  vain ;  the  beavers  seemed  to  have  become  conscious  of 
their  being  something  brewing  for  them,  and  they  wisely  kept 
away.  On  the  Monday  night  I  had  taken  up  my  post  in  the 
top  of  a  pine  tree,  which  stretched  nearly  horizontally  out 
over  the  stream,  but  I  must  have  dozed  a  little,  for  suddenly 
I  was  startled  by  a  splash,  just  in  time  to  see  a  fine  beaver 
dive  right  under  me.     H.  had  no  better  luck. 

The  following  days  we  spent  in  a  round  of  visits  to  neigh- 
boring farms,  at  one  of  which  there  was  a  wedding,  we  ob- 
tained, to  our  great  delight,  a  little  butter  and  bread,  articles 
we  had  been  without  all  the  while,  our  substitute  for  the 
latter  being  the  National  Fla'brod  i.  e.,  almost  transparently 
thin  sheets  of  flour  and  water  baked  brittle. 

Fortunately  the  weather  kept  fine,  but  in  spite  of  all  our 
vigilance  no  beaver  fell  into  our  lot. 

Matters  now  began  to  get  very  serious,  for  it  wanted  but  a 
few  days  of  the  1st  of  November,  and  the  beaver  season 
closed  !  We  had  to  hit  upon  some  radical  expedient  for  we 
were  not  to  return  with  empty  hands.  And  we  had  been  told 
not  to  come  back  without  a  beaver,  too. 

A  council  of  war  was  therefore  held,  the  result  thereof  be- 
ing that  on  the  following  morning  we  proceeded  to  a  large 
hut  on  the  Mari  Island,  where  we  had  kept  watch  the  first 
night,  in  order  to  discover  whether  the  animals  still  haunted 
that  place.  We  carried  we  us  a  number  of  poles,  and  punted 
down  on  the  raft.  Carefully  and  with  as  little  noise  as  possi- 
ble we  approached  that  part  of  the  hut  which  faced  the  water, 
and  stuck  our  poles  into  the  soft  mud  in  front  of  it,  our  ob- 
ject being  to  prevent  any  animals  within  escaping  by  the 
opening  above  water  or  any  hidden  ones  beneath. 

These  arrangements  having  been  completed  as  quickly  as 
possible,  I  took  up  my  post  on  the  raft  with  my  gun  in  readi- 
ness whilst  H.  took  Rap  round  the  opening  facing  the  island, 
and  sent  him  into  the  narrow  passage,  having  a  length  of 
nearly  fifty  feet  Mo  sooner  had  the  clever  little  dog  entered 
than  a  terrible  commotion  was  heard  within  and  we  chuckled 
with  satisfaction  at  finding  that  there  were  beavers  in  the 
hul  at  all  events.  But  Rap,  a  bold  and  strong  dog,  had  evi- 
dently the  best  of  it,  for  suddenly  the  head  of  a  fine  beaver 
rose  right  before  the  muzzle  of  my  gun,  and  I  was  on  the 
point  of  firing,  wishing  however,  to  shoot  it  in  the  neck,  so 
as  not  to  damage  the  cranium,  the  most  valuable  portion  for 
the  object  in  view.  But  in  that  instant  Sap  ran  out  of  the 
hut  in  full  bark,  and  the  beaver  went  down  as  quickly  as  it 
rose.  H.  attempted  to  keep  the  dog  on  his  side,  but  the  ex- 
cited animal  bad  heard  the  splash  of  the  beaver  as  it  entered 
the  water,  and  he  conld  not  be  brought  to  stir  from  the  front. 
I  then  called  to  H.  to  take  my  place,  seized  the  dog,  and 
carried  himtto  the  land  opening.  And  whilst  working  him 
again  into  the  passage  I  heard  the  report  of  my  companion's 
gun,  and  presently  his  call  to  come  and  help  him.  Within 
the  space  inclosed  by  our  piles,  a  large  beaver  was  struggling 
violently,  mortally  wounded,  splashing  the  muddy  water  in 
all  directions.  Rap  simply  howled  with  excitement  and  de- 
light It  was  an  animated  scene  ;  we  plunged  our  arms  into 
the  water,  obtained  a  hold  of  the  slippery  animal,  which  soon 
breathed  its  last  on  the  raft. 

I  rather  upbraided  H.  for  shooting  it,  as  an  understanding 
was  that  I  was  to  have  the  first  shot  being,  so  to  speak,  "  the 
inventor  of  the  plan  of  attack,"  but  he  calmed  me  with  the 
assurance  that  I  might  have  another  opportunity  of  shooting 
beaver  before  I  died,  but  that  he  should  not.  This  mollified 
me  somewhat,  and  really  I  did  not  grudge  my  old  friend  this 
rare  luck;  besides  he  was  right. 

Unfortunately,  however,  the  cranium  had  been  injured  by 
his  shot,  but  H.  asserted  that  he  could  not  avoid  doing  so, 
as  the  beaver  rushed  with  such  violence  at  the  piles,  that 
in  another  moment  it  would  have  broken  through  and  got 
clear  off. 

It  may,  nevertheless,  be  imagined  that  we  were  delighted 
at  the  result  after  our  hardships  and  privations.  The  speci- 
men proved  to  be  that  of  an  enormous  and  aged  female 
beaver;  probably  the  very  one  we  had  seen  the  first  night. 
We  pulled  a  little  away  from  the  shore  into  clear  water,  and 
rinsed  the  carcass,  and  having  removed  the  piles  as  well  as  all 
our  traps  on  the  island,  we  went  ashore  tied  the  beaver  by  its 
feet  to  a  pole  carried  by  us  both,  and  started  triumphantly 
for  our  quarters.  Rip  leading  the  way. 

Here  we  hired  a  horse  and  saddle,  and  rode  homeward 
with  the  beaver  in  a  sack  slung  over  the  horse's  back,  and  at 
every  farmhouse  on  the  rode  the  animal  had  to  be  brought 
out  and  shown. 

At  N:es  there  was  a  dinner  party  on,  but  all  the  guests, 
crowded  into  the  courtyard  to  have  a  look  at  the  rare  animal 
and  were  very  pleased,  I  on  my  part  feeling  convinced  that 
beaver  hunting  was  the  cause  of  my  finding  my  "  true 
mission"  in  life. — London  Field.

mm, 


Editor  Breeder  and  8portsmas  : — An  illustration  of 
the  design  recently  selected  by  the  Badge  Committee  of  the 
National  Game,  Bird  and  Fish  Protective  Association,  as  an 
emblem  to  be  worn  by  its  members,  is  given  herewith.  The 
principal  objects  of  the  association,  namely  game  and  fish 
protection,  is  fairly  represented  by  the  grouping  of  quail  and 
fish  underneath,  with  the  motto  :  "  We  protect"  above,  and 
the  initials  of  the  organization  on  the  points  of  the  star. 

The  badge  will  not  be  placed  on  sale  for  promiscuouj  use 
of  all  who  shoot  and  fish,  as  the  emblem  might  be  thus  mis- 
used, and  be  worn  by  those  who  are  not  entitled  to  member- 
ship iu  the  fraternity  of  American  sportsmen.  It  is  the 
desire  of  the  association,  however,  to  extend  its  membership 
to  all  sections  of  the  United  States,  and  every  law-abiding 
sportsman  who  favors  the  aims  and  objects  of  the  association 
is  eligible  to  membership. 

As  the  fee  is  very  small,  only  one  dollar  for  individal  mem- 
bers, no  doubt  thousands  of  the  best  representative  sportsmen 
of  America  will  become  members  before  the  close  of  the  pres- 
ent vear  for  the  purpose  of  aiding  in  the  work  of  co-operative 
game  protection.  Any  letters  of  inquiry  will  be  cheerfully 
and  promptly  answered  by  the  secretary.

Pistol  Shooting. 

The  feature  at  Shell  Mound  yesterday  was  the  pistol  firing 
for  the  Kellogg  medal.  Rapidity  aod  accuracy  were  the 
things  required  and  enthusiasm  waxed  warm  over  the  two. 
ThiB  kind  of  practice  is  new  in  this  country  as  far  as  condi- 
tions is  concerned.  Yesterday's  match  was  the  first  of  the 
kind  ever  held.  The  shooting  was  done  at  a  "  man  target," 
fifty  yards  was  the  distance,  five  shots  were  allowed  and  any 
style  of  pistol  or  revolver.  The  pistol  was  used  by  some 
marksmen  and  was  loaded  for  each  shot,  and  the  revolver, 
with  five  chambers  filled,  was  used  by  others.  In  the  scoring 
every  marksman  was  limed,  the  difference  between  the  sec- 
onds he  consumed  and  the  points  he  made  Bhowiog  the  ac- 
tual score  for  rapid  and  accurate  firing. 
Following  are  the  scores  :

English  Pheasants. 

The  following  communication  from  Mr.  John  Brett,  man- 
ager of  Spratts'  Kennels,  Cloeter,  N.  J.,  will  prove  intereat- 
ingand  instructive  reading  to  those  who  are  interested  in 
adding  to  the  variety  of  American  "game  birds.  From  in- 
formation received  from  different  sources  I  believe  that  there 
is  quite  a  widespread  interest  and  effort  toward  increasing  the 
kinds  of  game  birds  and  protecting  what  is  left  of  the  once 
abundance  of  native  birds. — B.  Waters  in  Forest  and  Stream. 

Mr.  Brett  writes :  "lam  very  pleased  to  answer  any  ques- 
tions I  can  regarding  the  English  pheasant  and  their  habits. 
Of  all  pheasants  the  old  English  black-necked  bird  is  the 
beet  and  hardiest  for  stocking  purposes.  They  are  larger  than 
the  Chinese  or  Japanese,  BO-callea  Mongolian  pheasants,  and 
do  not  stray  or  ramble  half  so  far  away. 

"The  old  English  bird  will  live  through  the  coldest  and 
roughest  winter.  They  will  live  where  quail  and  partridge 
starve.  They  set  -nd  raise  their  young  well  in  the  wild  state. 
They  do  not  fight  or  disturb  any  other  game  bird  or  their 
Di   is,  bill  will  proud  Iheir  young  like  an  old  hainyard  fowl. 


"  I  have  known  often  the  English  partridge  and  the  red- 
leg  partridge  both  to  lay  in  a  pheasant's  nest,  and  at  the 
finish  the  red-leg  take  possession  of  the  nest.  They  are  very 
fond  of  young  plantations  with  cultivated  fields  round  about. 
The  cocks  will  take  from  three  to  four  hens  each  in  the  wild 
state;  about  six  hens  to  a  cock  when  confined.  They  will 
take  possession  of  a  ceitain  place  where  the  hens  will  lay 
their  eggs  and  breed,  and  stay  round  that  section  the  whole 
season.  Wherever  you  hear  a  cock  pheasant  crowing  in  the 
spring  of  the  year,  there  his  hens  are  and  round  that  section 
they  intend  to  breed. 

"  I  am  certain  pheasants  would  do  as  well,  or  better,  than 
quail  in  the  South,  if  left  alone  and  protected  from  the  pot- 
hunter and  vermin.  The  hen  bird  will  fight  like  a  demon  to 
protect  her  young.  Even  in  the  wild  state  1  have  often  lifted 
them  off  their  nests,  when  they  would  fight  like  a  tiger  aod 
return  to  their  nest.  They  will  always  find  plenty  of  food 
for  themselves  and  young.  They  will  eat  almost  anything. 
Acorns  they  are  very  fond  of  in  winter ;  berries  and  such  like 
they  will  eat     Nothing  comes  amiss  to  a  pheasant. 

"  I  should  be  pleased  to  see  these  best  of  all  game  birds  in- 
troduced into  this  country,  for  I  am  sure  no  game  bird  would 
do  better.     I  have  bred  and  handled  thousands  of  all  kinds.'' 


THE  KENNEL. 


DOINGS  IN  DOG-DOM. 


Dr.  J.  R.  Davidson  will  kindly  accept  our  thanks  for  a  fine 
photograph  of  his  well-known  winner,  the  Dachshunde  bitch 
Nellie.  

The  Mount  Zion  Kennels  have  purchased  the  St.  Bernard 
bitch  Scottish  Ruby,  a  litter  sister  to  Scottish  Leader,  well- 
known  on  this  side  of  the  pond. 

James  Mortimer  sailed  for  England  on  May  23d.  Need- 
less to  add,  he  carried  several  commissions  in  his  pocket  for 
the  purchase  of  good  specimens  of  the  canine  race. 

The  California  Kennels'  well-known  English  setter  bitch 
Sunlit  (Sportsman — Sweetheart),  whelped  at  the  Kenwood 
Kennels  on  the  18th  inst.  three  dogs  and  four  bitches  to  the 
California  Kennels'  Harold. 

C.  F.  A.  Last's  rough-coated  St.  Bernard  dog  puppy  Pon- 
tiff, by  Sir  Herbert — Tabitha,  winner  of  1st  Puppy  Class, 
Los  Angeles,  succumbed  to  pneumonia  recently.  This  is  a 
severe  loss.     Pontiff  was  a  very  promising  young  dog. 


The  Oakland  Bench  Show. 


The  inaugural  bench  show  of  the  Alameda  County  Sports- 
men's Association  opened  on  Wednesday  morning  with  195 
entries  and  but  few  absentees.  The  quality  of  the  dogs,  how- 
ever, makes  up  for  any  deficiency  in  numbers.  The  mastiffs 
are  up  to  the  average.  The  St.  Bernards  are  the  best  lot  of 
both  dogs  and  bitches  ever  brought  together  on  this  coast. 
The  Irish  setters  are  also  the  best  class  ever  shown.  Collies 
are  both  numerous  and  of  good  quality.  The  fox-terrier 
bitch  class  is  also  the  strongest  ever  shown  on  the  coast. 

The  Alameda  school  children  were  admitted  free  on  Wed- 
nesday, and  in  consequence  the  judging  was  somewhat 
retarded.  The  children  enjoyed  themselves  most  thoroughly, 
and  the  liberality  of  the  club  in  admitting  them  free  was 
unquestionably  a  good  move.  The  judging  commenced  at 
about  2  o'clock,  and  proceeded  without  interruption  until 
about  5  o'clock.  Mr.  A.  C.  Waddell  found  it  no  easy  task  to 
pick  the  winners  in  many  of  the  classes.  On  the  whole  he 
gave  very  good  satisfaction,  though  in  some  of  his  classes  we 
beg  to  differ  from  his  opinion. 

The  hall  was  kept  very  clean  and  the  attendants  were  an 
unusually  accommodating  and  steady  lot  of  men,  many  of 
them  having  Berved  in  like  capacity  for  the  Pacific  and  Cali- 
fornia shows. 

The  bench  show  committee,  Messrs.  Prather,  Purcell, 
Higgs,  Sprague.  Miller,  Fish  and  Barker  deserve  great  praise 
for  their  unceasing  labor  and  success  in  conducting  this,  their 
maiden  effort,  in  this  line,  Messrs.  Higgs  and  Crowell  being 
the  only  members  of  the  committee  who  have  ever  served 
before  in  a  like  capacity. 

The  trick  dogs  and  performing  goats  performed  every 
afternoon  and  evening,  to  the  amusement  of  a  good  audience. 

MASTIFFS. 

A  very  fair  class  of  mastiffs  faced  the  judge,  comparatively 
speaking  ;  that  is,  fair  for  this  coast.  Leo,  the  winner,  is  a 
fair-headed  dog,  rather  long  in  muzzle,  but  with  good  ears 
and  fair  expression.  He  is  a  little  weak  in  pasternB  but  very 
good  in  body,  back  and  loin.  Chino,  second,  has  the  best 
head  of  the  two ;  his  ears  are  badly  carried  and  feet  poor, 
otherwise  he  is  fully  the  equal  of  the  winner.  Noble,  third, 
was  lucky.  He  was  lame,  and  is  small,  weedy  and  light-eyed. 
Toby,  H.  C,  is  a  cbocolate-muzzle,  very  light  in  eye  and 
small.    Bess,  second,  the  only  entry  in  bitches,  is  very  weedyt 

ROUGH-COAT   ST.    BERNARDS. 

A  better  class  of  R.  C.  St.  Bernards  never  faced  a  judge  in 
California.  California  Bernardo,  the  winner,  we  described 
fully  in  our  report  of  Los  Angeles  show.  He  was  in  good 
form.  Columbus,  second,  is  a  credit  to  his  breeder.  He  is 
a  grandly-proportioned  dog,  a  bit  short  in  skull,  otherwise  a 
well  proportioned  head  with  good  muzzle  and  nice  markings 
and  shadings.  He  has  good  bone  and  a  good,  bright  coat. 
He  would  be  improved  with  a  little  more  size.  Hector.third, 
has  a  good  skull  and  the  best  bone  in  the  class.  His  skull  is 
large  and  well-formed,  ears  well  carried,  bone  the  best  in  the 
class,  and  he  is  well  proportioned,  but  lacks  shadings  and 
character.  He  carries  his  tail  very  badly.  Monk,  the  Re- 
serve dog,  we  have  recently  described.  Monk,  Bruce  and 
Jumbo  each  given  V.  H.  C.  are  not  to  be  compared  with 
Lord  Hualpa,  H.  C.  The  latter's  weakness  in  second  thighs 
caught  the  judge's  eye,  and  he  apparently  looked  no  further. 
He  has  the  best  muzzle  in  the  class.  His  skull  is  very  good, 
ears  well  carried,  eyes  good,  expression  very  good,  in  should- 
ers, body  and  front  he  is  not  excelled  by  the  winner.  His 
coat  is  short  and  he  is  weak  behind,  but  the  three  dogs  placed 
over  him  do  not  possess  one  half  his  character,  size  or  quality. 
We  do  not  believe  in  placing  the  dog  to  the  front  with  bad 
legs  because  of  his  quality.  But  to  give  a  dog  H.  C  and 
place  over  him  a  dog  like  Bruce,  who  is  at  best  a  weed,  ex- 


cessively weak  in  head  and  weedy,  without  an  atom  of  char- 
acter, is  misleading  and  all  wrong. 

Again  the  judge  gave  Jumbo  and  Bruce  V.  H.  C.  The  I 
former  is  bad  in  color,  a  lenioD  and  white,  but  his  skull  is 
good  and  bone,  size  and  coat  excellent.  To  be  sure  his  color 
and  lack  of  shadings  detract  from  his  character,  but  if  he  is 
worth  V.  H.  C,  Bruce  is  lucky  to  get  C.  Hualpa  should 
have  been   Reserve  at   the  very   least. 

The  bitches  were  placed  better.  Lady  Bute  II  won  rightly 
enough.  She  is  not  quite  right  in  skull,  being  short  from  eye 
to  occiput.  Her  markings  are  a  little  uneven,  muzzle  good, 
eye  and  ear  correct,  shadings  and  character  excellent.  In 
bone,  body,  coat,  color  and  movement  no  one  can  find  fault 
with  her.  Gundred,  second,  is  another  good  one.  The  pro- 
file of  her  head  is  good,  but  face  on  she  is  narrow  both  in 
skull  and  muzzle.  Her  expression  is  good,  ears  and  eyes  good, 
and  in  body,  legs  and  feet  she  is  exceptionable  good.  She  is 
out  of  coat,  but  the  texture  and  color  are  good.  Between  May 
Queen,  third,  and  Bohemian  Girl  it  is  about  six  of  one  and 
half  a  dozen  of  the  other.  May  Queen  is  very  leggy,  Bohemian 
Girl  too  short  and  low.  The  former  has  shadings  and  good 
markings,  the  latter  no  shadings  at  all.  The  former  is  light 
in  body,  the  latter  very  good  in  that  respect.  The  latter  has 
the  best  coat  and  color. 

Lady  Sylvia,  V.  H.  C,  is  a  good  little  one,  but  much  too 
small.  She  has  improved  greatly.  Browney  also  V.  H.  C.,  is 
a  well-proportioned  bitch,  but  light  in  head. 

Robin  Hood  was  alone  in  dog  puppies.  He  won,  but  a 
white  ribbon  would  have  nearer  fitted  the  case.  His  muzzle 
would  be  more  appropriate  on  a  staghound  than  on  a  St.  Ber- 
nard. Laura  Alton,  first,  in  bitch  puppy  class,  has  nice  shad- 
ings and  markings,  but  is  too  light  in  head. 

SMOOTH-COATED  ST.  BERNARDS. 

One  very  fair  smooth-coat  faced  the  judge  in  open  dog 
class.  He  has  a  fair  skull,  muzzle  of  good  depth  and  width 
but  too  long.  His  hips  slope  ofl  too  rapidly  and  he  is  weak 
in  stifles,  otherwise  good.  Bianca,  first  in  bitches,  is  much 
above  the  ordinary  and  far  and  away  the  best  smooth  coat  in 
California.  She  is  of  the  SwisB  type,  blocky  in  head  with 
short  square  muzzle  and  smail  well-hung  ears.  Her  body  is 
very  deep,  ribs  well  sprung  and  bone  superb.  She  gives 
what  nearly  all  the  California  bitches  fail  to,  the  impression 
of  massivenesp-.  She  is  a  splendid  mover,  shown  in  good  con- 
dition. 

GREAT  DANES. 

Max,  the  winner  in  open  dogs,  is  the  best  in  type  and  char- 
acter, the  best  in  head,  and  much  the  best  in  muzzle.  He  is 
light  in  loin  and  straight  in  stifles.  Caesar  II,  second,  though 
not  quite  as  typical,  is  a  sounder  dog,  better  in  limbs  and 
better  in  body.  Hagar,  first  in  bitches,  is  only  fair.  Her  el- 
bows are  carried  too  much  under  the  body  and  her  head, 
while  of  good  length,  is  too  full  below  the  eye.  Tiger  rightly 
won  in  dog  puppies.  His  ears  are  badly  cut  but  he  excelled 
in  head,  limbs  and  character.  Boy,  second,  is  too  heavy 
built  and  being  uncropped,  he  loses  character.  Flontis,  first 
in  bitch  puppies,  is  shorter  in  neck  and  too  low  in  leg,  ears 
badly  cut. 

AMERICAN    FOXHOUNDS. 

Paddy,  the  winner  in  open  dogs,  is  now  in  the  challenge 
class.  Having  won  under  Davidson,  Raper,  Mortimer  and 
Waddell.  He  has  a  very  beautiful  and  typical  head  and  ears 
and  is  bo  good  in  legs  and  feet  that  it  is  almost  impossible  to 
overlook  him,  be  the  class  large  or  small.  Guess,  second,  is 
another  type  of  hound,  larger,  heavier  and  longer  in  propor- 
tion to  height.  He  is  not  as  clean  cut  in  muzzle  as  Paddy 
and  not  near  as  (good  in  feet.  Fanny  M.,  the  winner,  and 
Julie  were  the  same  type  of  hounds.  We  prefer  the  latter 
for  premier  honors.  Fanny  M.  is  throaty  and  a  little  light 
in  second  thighs.  Julie  is  not  quite  as  good  in  skull  but 
equal  in  muzzle  and  better  in  legs  and  feet,  except  for  being 
a  little  wide  in  front.  Butte,  third,  is  another  type  of  hound, 
larger  and  heavier  in  bone,  more  on  the  English  order.  She 
is  very  good  in  head,  ear  and  eye,  with  good  body  and  good 
feet  and  legs. 

In  dogs  puppies  a  half-grown  one  won  over  a  matured  one. 
The  judge  stuck  to  type,  giving  Gen.  Molka  first — is  on  the 
same  lines  as  his  open  class  awards.  He  doubtless  thought 
American  Scout  too  big  for  his  age.  In  bitch  puppies,  Queen 
C.  won.  She  has  a  nice,  typical  head  and  ear,  small,  but 
young  and  full  of  fire  and  courage. 

ENGLISH  FOXHOUNDS. 

The  only  entry,  the  well-known  Landlord,  last  year's  win- 
ner, won,  rightly. 

GREYHOUNDS. 

Skyrocket,  the  winner  at  Los  Angeles,  was  full  of  rheuma- 
tism and  looking  badly.  Woodstock  was  placed  over  him 
mainly  on  account  of  condition  of  WoodstocK.  He  is  a  good 
bodied  dog,  with  good  front  and  well-bent  stifles,  fairly  low  in 
hocks.  His  head  is  good,  jaw  strong,  but  he  would  do  with  a 
little  more  neck.  Peter  Jackson,  third,  is  not  as  deep  in 
body  and  well-ribbed  as  those  placed  over  him,  otherwise 
good.     Donard  M.  we  have  recently  described. 

Kathleen,  the  winner  in  bitch  class,  was  in  fine  fettle.  She 
has  an  elegant  head,  full  of  quality,  good  front  shoulders  and 
body  well  arched,  loin  and  good  feet.  Pronto,  third,  the 
Los  Angeles  winner,  though  light  in  second  thighs,  we  pre- 
ferred to  Lady  H.  Glendynne,  second.  Lady  was  in  superb 
show  condition,  but  he  open  feet  are  against  her  chances  of 
winning.and  we  saw  no  reason  for  reversing  the  Los  Angeles 
win.  Pronto  was  also  in  fine  fettle.  Georgie  Dickson,  re- 
serve, is  much  above  the  average;  her  only  noticeable  fault 
is  that  her  shoulders  are  a  trifle  straight. 

NEWFOUNDLANDS. 

Bruin,  placed  second,  was  the  nearest  approach  to  true 
Newfoundland  character  of  the  class,  but  he  is  very  much 
higher  behind  than  at  the  shouldes  and  the  judges  rightly 
placed  him  behind  Nero,  who,  -though  wrong  in  «oat,  is 
straight  and  well-proportioned.  Duke  Royal,  third,  has  the 
flattest  coat  and  will  improve  with  age.  Nero,  V.  H.  C,  loo 
strongly  resembles  a  St.  Bernard.  The  class,  as  a  whole,  are 
way  behind  Eastern  classes  of  the  same  breed.  In  bitches 
May,  the  winner,  has  a  fair  coat  and  bit  wavy,  but  is  nearest 
to  the  proper  type.  Myrtle,  second,  is  too  snipey.  Nellie, 
third,  is  a  mongrel. 

CHESAPEAKES. 

Trout,  the  winner  in  dogs  aod  Bess,  the  winner  in  bitches, 
are  both  well-known  winners. 

POINTERS. 

In  challenge  light  weight  bitches  Patti  Croxteth  had  a 
walkover.  In  open  heavy  weight  dogs,  Buck  S.  won  again 
with  Pete,  another  Duke  of  Vernon  pup,  second.  Buck  is 
too  straight  in  stifles  but  is  much  better  than  Pete  in  head, 
being  very  deep  and  square  in  muzzle.   We  thought  that  Peta

519 


looked  like  the  best  mover  of  the  two.  In  heavy  weight 
bitches,  Little  Nell,  much  improved  since  Los  Angeles,  won 
rightly  enough.  She  will  be  a  hard  one  to  beat  at  any  time. 
Jill,  second,  is  a  bit  wide  in  front  and  might  be  better  in  feet 
and  has  grown  a  little  cheeky,  but  in  body,  back  and  loin  is 
hard  to  beat.  Her  muzzle  is  also  very  good. 
Hornell  Bess,  third,  we  have  often  described. 
Her  feet  are  too  open,  ears  carried  poorly,  otherwise  good. 
Tippetta,  reserve,  looked  much  better  than  at  Los  Angeles, 
but  was  in  too  hot  company.  Ada  Rehan,  V.  H.  C,  is  a 
new  face.  He*  head  is  good,  showing  considerable  quality 
She  has  nice  shoulders,  a  well  rounded  body,  but  the  same 
might  have  more  depth  to  advantage.  She  is  a  little  light 
in  second  thigh.  Kioto,  the  winner  at  Los  Angeles,  we  have 
recently  described;  she  was  shown  in  good  fettle.  Lady  Peg. 
second,  a  new  one,  is  a  littie  model,  shown  in  the  pink  of 
condition.  We  would  not  have  hesitated  an  instant  in  plac- 
ing her  first.  She  is  better  than  the  winner  in  head,  should- 
ers and  hind  quarters  and  equal  in  all  other  points.  Midget 
P.,  third,  would  not  show  herself.  She  is  a  very  good  bitch 
though.  Nancy  S.,  reserve,  we  have  recently  described.  In 
dog  puppies  Mc  showed  the  most  quality  all  through  and  was 
best  in  skull  and  muzzle.  Spence,  third,  we  preferred  for 
second  place.  He  might  be  deeper  in  body  and  his  feet  are 
a  bit  open,  but  Rio  A ,  placed  second,  is  cow-hocked  and 
cloddy,  and  we  thought  should  have  been  third.  Dora,  the 
winner  in  bitch  puppies,  is  not  as  square  in  muzzle  as  Hul- 
da, second,  but  excels  her  in  legs  and  feet-  Hulda  is  too  full 
below  the  eye  and  straight  in  stifles. 

ENGLISH  SETTEES. 

Starlight,  the  winner,  was  shown  in  splendid  form.  Hopes 
Rush,  second,  we  preferred  for  the  position.  Starlight  has 
proven  his  quality  afield;  he  is  built  for  business  and  his  chest, 
ribs,  legs  and  feet  could  hardly  be  excelled,  but  he  is  short  in 
muzzle  and  wide  in  skull.  We  thought  Hopes  Rush  should 
have  won.  He  has  a  more  typical  head  and  is  very  good  in 
body,  legs  and  feet.  Jack,  third,  is  coarse  in  head,  has  spaniel 
ears  and  bad  hind  legs,  not  bad  in  formation,  but  cow- 
hooked.  Cazador,  reserve,  is  plain  in  head  and  straight  in 
stifles. 

?  In  bitches,  Countess  Noble  very  rightly  won.  We  have 
described  her  often.  It  is  sufficient  to  say  that  we  do  not 
know  of  a  bitch  in  California  that  can  beat  her  on  the  bench. 
Dolly  Mack,  2nd,  is  a  very  nice-bodied,  good-limbed  bitch, 
too  coarse  in  skull.  Lady  Blanche  is  snipey  and  weak  in 
muzzle. 

In  doe;  puppies  Charm  won  ;  he  is  best  in  body  and  limbs. 
LeoH.,  2d,  excels  in  squareness  of  muzzle  and  quality  of  head. 
In  bitch  puppies  Dina  Lee  was  best  in  head  and  body  and 
won.  Suver  G.,  2d,  is  a  neat  trim  little  bitch  that  looks  like  a 
flyer  afield.  She  loses  a  little  to  the  winner  in  type  of  head, 
but  excels  in  legs  and  feet.  Gladioble,  3d,  is  not  square  in 
muzzle  and  lacks  stop. 

IRISH    SETTEES. 

Dick  Swiveller  and  Lady  Elcho  won  in  the  respective 
challenge  classes  without  competition.  Memo  II  won  in  the 
open  dog  class.  He  is  a  grand-bodied  dog,  a  good  mover  and 
in  good  coat.  Sultan  rubbed  him  close  for  first  honors.  He 
has  filled  out  in  body  and  improved  greatly  since  Los  Ange- 
les. We  thought  his  greater  quality  and  better  head  should 
have  placed  him  above  Memo,  but  it  is  only  a  matter  of 
opinion  as  to  which  averages  the  best,  and  again  as  to  which 
is  the  proper  type  of  htiad.  Finglas  Jr.  has  a  head  that  we 
consider  typical,  a  muzzle  especially  unexcelled.  In  skull  he 
should  have  greater  prominence  of  occiput.  He  is  high  on 
leg  and  light  behind.  Time  will  undoubtedly  improve  him. 
Redwood,  V.  H.  C,  lacks  in  Btop,  and  has  too  high  leg.  Rex 
T..  reserve,  is  too  coarse. 

In  bitches,  the  judges  surprised  the  local  critics  by  placing 
Ruby  M.  first.  She  is  very  long  in  body,  but  not  weak  in 
back,  and  was  shown  in  good  condition.  The  judge  thought 
her  head  the  most  typical  in  the  class,  but  we  again  beg  to 
differ.  She  is  too  thick  in  skull,  not  clean  cut  below  the  eye, 
and  lacking  in  that  quality  that  is  so  apparent  in  the  heads 
of  Queen  of  Kildare,  second,  and  Miss  Lucy,  reserve.  We 
should  have  put  both  of  the  two  last-named  bitches  and 
Lightning  third,  over  her.  Queen  and  Lightning  we  have  de- 
scribed fully.  Miss  Lucy  is  a  trim  little  bitch  with  a  clean-cut 
muzzle,  good  skull,good, color  and  good  in  body,  legs  and  feet. 
We  would  have  placedthem  in  the  following  order:  Queen  of 
Kildare,  Miss  Lucy,  Lightning,  Ruby  M.  Sunnyside,  V.  H. 
C,  is  too  short  in  leg,  coo  heavy  in  head  and  was  shown  too 
fat. 

Redwood  won  in  dog  puppy  class,  described  in  open  class 
awards.

Sport  "With  the  Patent  Hare. 


Quite  a  large  number  of  the  lovers  of  the  leash  collected  at 
San  Jose  on  Sunday  last  to  witness  many  of  the  best  of  the 
long  tails  in  that  section  of  the  State  tiy  their  speed  against 
each  other  after  Joe  Pinard's  <;  home-made  jack." 

The  committee  of  the  San  Jose  club  issued  invitations  to  all 
their  friends  to  come  and  take  part  in  the  fiesta,  and  add  their 
quota  of  sport  to  the  merry-making  going  on.  The  invita- 
tion was  accepted  with  alacrity,  and  at  least  one  hundred  of 
the  coursing  men,  with  twenty-four  dogs,  assembled  on  the 
beautiful  grounds  of  Agricultural  Park.  The  San  Jose  com- 
mittee, Messrs.  Spring,  Milliken,  Carmichael,  Portal,  Still- 
well,  and,  indeed,  all  the  "boys,"  did  all  that  was  possible 
(and  they  succeeded,  too)  to  make  the  affair  a  success. 

The  crowd  during  a  portion  of  the  time  pressed  a  little 
too  much  on  the  running  ground,  and  naturally  affected  the 
running  of  some  of  the  dogs,  but  on  the  whole  everything 
went  on  without  much  of  a  hitch,  and  tue  sport  seemed  to  be 
thoroughly  enjoyed  by  all.  Thern  was  some  great  upsets, 
too,  and  the  talent  must  have  fallen  pretty  heavily,  as  none 
of  the  four  dogs  that  were  supposed  to  have  a  cinch  on  the 
game  came  out  with  a  whole  skin,  the  two  first  prizes  falling 
to  two  dogs  that  were  considered  pure  outsiders. 

On  the  grounds  were  also  some  of  the  regular  standbys  of 
all  good  coursing  meetings,  such  as  Dr.  Wadams,  Mr.  Curtis 
and  son,  Mr.  McComb,  the  Coony  Bros.,  Linahan,  McCracken 
and  Dickson.     The  following  is  a  summary  of  the  running  : 

First  round — J.  T.  Doyle'B  Dusty  Bob  beat  H.  Madden's 
Black  Eye,  E.  Portal's  Country  Boy  beat  J.  McDonald's 
Wild  Rose,  T.  Nash's  Anything  beat  J.  Stillwell's  Skyland, 
W.  Kirpatrick's  Leather  Breeches  beat  J.  Stillwell's  Daisy 
D.,  F.  McComb's  Motto  beat  C.  Bonner's  Free  Trade,  T. 
Coony's  Waratah  beat  C.  Desmoine's  Bamboo  Boy,  H.  Mad- 
den's Slow  Jack  beat  W.  Carmichael's  Tom  Brown,  H.  Mc- 
Cracken's Magpie  beat  P.  Linehan's  Sweep,  F.  Ewald's  Bozzie 
Bell  beat  F.  Hank's  Last  Chance,  F.  McComb's  Stranger  beat 
C.  C.  Desmoine's  Lady  Ruth,  W.  Pitman's  Boy  in  Blue  beat 

E.  Portal's  Country  Girl,  C.  Narvise's  Billy  the  Masher  beat 

F.  McComb's  Humming  Bird. 

First  ties — Country  Boy  beat  Dusty  Bob,  Anything  beat 
Leather  Breeches,  Motto  beat  Waratah,  Magpie  beat  Slow 
Jack,  Stranger  beat  Bozzie  Bell,  Billy  the  Masher  beat  Boy 
in  Blue. 

Second  ties — Country  Boy  beat  Anything,  Motto  beat  Mag- 
pie, Stranger  beat  Billy  the  Masher. 

Third  lies — Motto  beat  Country  Boy,  Stranger  a  bye.  The 
stake  was  divided,  the  two  dogs  left  in  being  kennel  com- 
panions. 

H.  M.  N.  Spring  acted  asjudge,  Mr.  Milliken  handled  the 
slips,  while  William  Carmichael  and  Hugh  McCracken  were 
the  slip  and  flag  stewards. 

The  same  club  intends  to  have  another  run  after  Pinard's 
''jack"  in  about  three  weeks. 

Dogs   Used   As    Sentinels. 


Marshals  before  they  got  within  100  yards  of  them.  They 
would  then  return  quickly  to  their  master  and  inform  him 
by  their  actions  of  the  presence  of  the  enemy.  Day  would 
then  take  to  the  woods  to  the  right  or  left,  with  a  dog  in  ad- 
advance,  and  pass  around  an  ambuscade  without  being  seen. 
In  case  pursuers  should  come  up  behind  Day's  dogs,  which 
had  been  trailing  along,  would  quickly  .hurry  forward  to 
their  master,  who,  knowing  by  their  actions,  how  close  the 
enemy  was,  could  easily  evade  them.  With  such  guards  it 
was  almost  useless  for  the  officers  to  attempt  to  capture  Day. 
They  often  gave  up  the  search  in  disgust,  to  start  out  a  month 
or  two  later  reinvigorated  and  encouraged  by  rumors  or  re- 
ports of  spies,  to  fail  again  and  again.  Day  could  be  heard 
of  in  McDowell  County  one  day,  and  the  next  some  one  from 
Taswell,  in  Virginia,  fifty  miles  away,  would  report  that  he 
had  seen  him  in  that  section.  He  proved  to  be  an  ignis  fatu- 
usto  the  officers,  and  although  they  could  hear  of  half  a  doz- 
en stills  running  in  as  many  places  in  the  mountains,  the  offi- 
cers in  the  entire  fifteen  years  were  successful  only  in  cap- 
turing two  of  his  stills. — St.  Louis  Republic.

May  27, 1894. 


The  most  noted  mountaineer  of  West  Virginia,  and  per- 
haps in  Kentucky  and  North  Carolina — Jim  Day — has  at 
last  been  captured.  The  Government  officers  have  been  try- 
ing to  arrest  Day  for  over  fifteen  years,  but  failed  on  every 
occasion.  Day,  who  is  a  tall,  muscular,  shrewd-looking  fel- 
law,  h»s  been  running  illicit  stills  for  over  fifteen  years.  Dur- 
ing this  time  he  had  sometimes  as  many  as  a  dozen  stills  run- 
ning at  one  time.  The  stills  were  located  in  the  depths  of 
the  primitive  forests  or  in  caves  in  the  mountain  sides,  along 
distance  from  roadways  and  trails.  The  stills  were  always 
located  near  some  prominent  hight,  or  at  a  point  from  which 
a  guard  or  spy — constantly  on  the  alert — could  overlook  all 
approaches  and  advise  his  companions  of  the  vicinity  of  sus- 
picious-looking strangers.  In  fifteen  years  only  two  of  Day's 
stills  have  been  captured  and  destroyed.  On  each  of  these 
occasions  Day  and  his  men  all  made  their  escape.  Time  and 
again  revenue  officers  have  attempted  to  waylay  and  ambush 
Day.  They  found  roads  and  trails  over  which  it  was  known 
he  would  be  forced  to  travel  and  they  then  placed  squads  in 
ambush,  but,  although  Day  had  been  seen  or  traced  along  the 
road,  he  always  slipped  through  their  fingers  without  a 
scratch. 

At  last  the  secret  of  his  success  in  evading  the  officers  be- 
came known.  Day  had  a  number  of  thoroughbred  dogs  which 
he  had  trained  to  scent  out  revenue  officers  or  strangers  and 
to  notify  him  of  their  presence  long  before  they  could  come 
in  sight.  When  traveling  over  the  routes  or  trails  leading  to 
and  from  any  of  his  stills  two  of  Day's  dogs  always  trotted 
along  in  front  several  hundred  yards,  taking  opposite  sides 'of 
the  road.  Two  would  fall  back  in  the  rear  and  one  would 
advance  like  a  scout  on  each  side.  In  case  of  an  ambuscade 
the  dogs  in  front  would  scent  the  presence  of  the  Deputy 


ROD 

A  Big  Trout. 


The  other  day,  while  A.  J.  Hall  of  this  city  was  fishing  in 
the  Penetencia  creek,  he  experienced  a  pleasure  that  few 
fishermen  enjoy  on  the  trout  streams  adjacent  to  San  Jose. 
Just  above  the  bridge  at  the  entrance  to  Alum  Rock  canyon 
he  cast  his  fly  into  a  deep  hole,  and  to  his  astonishment  his 
hook  was  immediately  stolen  by  a  fish  resembling  to  him, 
at  the  time,  a  salmon.  But  he  was  not  to  be  ciecoursged  from 
the  loss  of  his  hook,  and  placing  another  on  the  line  and 
handling  his  split  bamboo  with  the  gentleness  of  an  expert 
he  soon  enticed  the  fish  to  again  play  with  the  fly,  and  soon 
he  landed  one  of  the  largest  mountain  trout  ever  captured 
from  any  stream  in  this  county.  The  trout  measured  22f 
inches  in  length  and  weighed  3A  pounds.  Probably  it  is  the 
largest  fish  ever  caught  from  this  stream.  Mr.  Hall  brought 
it  to  this  office,  where  it  was  viewed  by  many  enthusiastic 
fishermen,  all  declaring  that  tit  was  a  beautiful  specimen  of 
rainbow  trout. — San  Jose  Mercury. 

Sizs  of  Nets. 


The  supervisors  of  San  Diego  county  have  ordained  as  fol- 
lows : 

Every  person  who  shall  for  the  purpose  of  catching  fish  o  f 
any  kind  in  San  Diego  Bay  and  False  Bay,  of  this  county, 
fish  with  or  use  any  seine  or  net  the  meshes  of  which  are, 
when  drawn  closely  together  and  measured  inside  the  knot,

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

XDITED  AND  COSOCCTKD  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH    CAIRN    SIMPSON. 


The  Alix-Pixley  Ruction— The  race  for  the  big  puree 
of  $15,000  at  Chicago  last  September  has  served  to  kick  up 
a  bigger  rumpus  than  any  other  in  trotting  history.  Prolific 
of  sensations  from  first  heat  to  the  end,  several  days  there- 
after, and  not  satisfied  with  the  discord  then,  has  kept  up  the 
rioting,  until  the  hubbub  is  something  fearful,  and  with 
good  prospects  of  continued  warfare  as  the  decision  of  the 
highest  court  in  The  American  Association  will  not  be  re- 
ceived with  universal  approbation. 

The  "turf  papers"  are  somewhat  chary  in  their  criticisms, 
outside  of  Clark's  Horse  Review,  which,  of  course,  is  out- 
spoken in  its  own  defense,  and  decidedly  hostile  to  those  who 
have  been  in  opposition,  with  good  grounds  for  hostility, 
as  there  is  no  question  that  it  had  an  up-hill  contest  all 
through. 

That  that  paper  was  justified  in  its  first  publication  anent 
the  race  is  so  clearly  proved  by  the  evidence  submitted  to  the 
Board  that  argument  to  the  contrary  would  imply  a  want  of 
discernment  or  a  lack  of  candor  in  the  person  who  has  the 
testimony  in  full  to  guide  him  in  arriving  at  a  conclusion. 

Passing  over  the  conflicting  evidence  of  Curry  and  Stew- 
art, though  there  is  corroborative  proof  that  Curry's  story 
was  correct,  there  is  a  combination  of  circumstances  to  war- 
rant the  charges  made  on  the  other  points.  When  it  becomes 
apparent  that  one  horse  has  much  the  best  show  of  winning 
there  will  be  combinations  to  beat  it,  especially  when  there 
is  big  money  at  stake.  So  long  as  these  efforts  are  within 
the  rules  it  is  a  legitimate  result  of  heats.  That  laws  are 
oftentimes  broken,  without  punishment  following,  in  the 
efiort  to  make  the  combination  successful,  is  well  known, 
though  without  such  infringement  a  great  deal  can  be  done 
to  "beat  the  favorite."  For  instance,  a  driver  who  has  so 
little  chance  to  win  the  heat  as  to  be  practically  "  out  of  it," 
can  favor  one  which  has.  He  can  pull  away  from  the  pole 
and  allow  another  to  "  save  ground  "  by  keeping  inside,  and 
by  giving  this  opportunity  he  may  better  his  own  chances  to 
win  the  race.  For  instance,  a  horse  has  won  two  heats  and 
has  the  pole.  B.  was  second  in  the  preceding  heat  and  C.  is 
on  the  outside.  C  is  trailing  A.  and  when  the  first  turn  has 
been  made  B.  pulls  to  the  right  and  gives  C,  the  faster  horse, 
a  better  opportunity  to  win  the  heat  than  if  forced  to  go  out- 
side of  B.  If  A.  wins  the  heat  the  race  is  ended,  if  C.  wins 
B.  has  another  chance,  perhaps  two,  and  he  may  win  the 
race  by  the  concession  where  as  if  he  did  not  give  C.  the 
chance  he  would  have  had  none. 

The  Alix-Pixley  race  was  one  which  gave  the  greatest  in- 
citement to  combine  against  Alii,  and  a  good  opportunity  to 
make  the  combination  successful.  Temptation  was  very  strong. 
Hulda,  after  being  apparently  a  sure  winner,  was  thrown  out 
of  the  race.  A  great  deal  of  money  had  been  wagered,  and 
those  who  were  deep  in  the  box  could  not  get  out  if  the  fifth 
heat  ended  the  race.  Bettors  might  be  as  deeply  interested  as 
owners,  a  combination  of  them  with  more  money  at  stake. 
It  had  become  a  simple  thing  to  reason  that  a  good  deal  of 
"  sure  money"  was  in  sight  with  Alii  "stiff." 

In  the  four  heats  already  trotted  Alii  had  two,  Hulda  two 
and  disabled,  and  in  three  of  the  heats  Pixley  had  been  sec- 
ond, a  close  second,  demonstrating  her  superiority  over  all 
but  Alix.  Then  it  was  well-known  that  Pixley  was  entirely 
safe  to  "  bank  upon."  In  a  stable  which  was  emphatically 
safe,  that  no  inducement  could  tempt  the  manager  to  be  a 
party  to  lose  when  it  was  possible  to  win,  and  though  he  was 
unable  to  drive  he  bad  an  able  lieutenant  in  Dickerson  it 
was  not  at  all  necessary  to  acquaint  Mr.  Doble  with  the 
scheme.  It  was  beyond  question  that  Dickerson  would  use 
every  endeavor  to  get  the  best  of  the  start,  and  with  his  sec- 
ond place  were  he  to  be  a  neck  in  the  lead  when  "go"  was 
signalled  he  would  be  sure  to  be  troublesome  to  Alix,  hold  all 
the  others  safe,  and  with  the  driver  of  Alix  in  the  combine 
everything  would  be  rosy.  If  that  arrangement  could  not  be 
be  made  then  what  so  likely  to  happen  as  the  tactics  which 
were  adopted  ? 

There  is  little  necessity  for  repeating  the  evidence  in  full 
which  so  amply  justified  one  of  the  charges  in  the  Review. 
The  owner  of  Alii,  Mr.  Jones,  W.  M.  Van  Sant  and  others, 
were  informed  beforehand  that  certain  things  were  resolved 
upon,  the  judges  were  notified,  and  they  responded  by  in- 
creasing the  force  of  patrols,  and  what  was  prophesied  took 
place.  To  believe  that  this  was  merely  a  concatenation  of 
circumstances  is  to  say  the  least  a  slight  token  of  credulity, 
unless  the  person  who  gave  the  information  to  Mr.  Van  Sant 
the  night  ■before  had  the  faculty  of  "  second-sight,"  as  even 
the  minor  points  were  covered.  And  vet  it  is  very  likely 
that  the  driver  of  Pixley  had  no  part  in  the  scheme.  That 
he  would  make  a  desperate  drive  for  the  fifth  heat  was  be- 
yond contention.  An  imperative  duty  which  could  not  be 
shirked,  and  if  he  had  kept  within  the  rules,  laudable  and 
praiseworthy.  Had  he  kept  close  to  Alix,  so  close  that  there 
was  only  space  enough  to  ensure  agaiust  collision,  he  would 
have  not  only  been  held  blameless  but  worthy  of  praise,  en- 
titled to  high  commendations  for  his  skillful  driving.  And 
in  this  connection  it  will  be  well  to  call  attention  to  the  dis- 
crepancy between  the  affidavits  of  (leers  and  McHenry  on 
this  critical  point,  the  foul.  Geere  was  driving  Nightingale 
and  the  time  the  collision  occurred  was  trailing  Pixley. 
According  to  the  American  Sportsman  Geers  testified: 
"  Twice  the  sulky  wheels  of  Alix  and  Pixley  rubbed  together, 
as  often  occurs  in  a  close  race,  but  not  of  a  serious  nature  or 
sufficient  to  cause  Alix  to  break.  He  stated  that  Alix  did  not 
break  until  some  time  after  the  second  collision,  and  that  in 
his  judgment  it  was  then  occasioned  by  the  fact  that  she  was 
being  out-trotted  by  Pixley."  According  to  the  same  paper, 
\V.  E.  McHenry,  who  drove  Walter  E.  in  that  heat,  "de- 
scribed the  collision  between  Alix  and  Pixley,  and  stated 
that  it  did  not  take  place  until  after  the  time  Alix  made  a 
break."  The  driver  of  Alix's  story  agrees  more  nearly  with 
that  of  freer,  his  version  being:  "  He  (Dickerson)  was  laying 
close  to  me,  and,  going  round  the  turn,  I  Baid,  *  Johnny,  look 
out'  He  paid  no  attention  at  all,  seemingly  to  me;  he  didn't 
pay  any  attention.  I  said,  'Johnny,  don't  go  into  me.'  Just 
then  he  kind  of  hugged  in  behind,  my  wheel  and  his  wheel 
came  together  in  this  fasoion  (indicating).  We  probably 
went  fifty  or  ei  sty  feet  that  way  and  my  mare  made  a  break." 

That  a  A-ii  was  committed  by  Dickerson  is  beyond  any 
question.  Th  judges  punished  liini  by  uluciug  him  last  in 
the  heal,  the  lighter  penalty  beiug  inflicted  from  I'ickereon'e 


reputation  being  so  good  that  the  foul  was  probably  uninten- 
tional. This  was  surely  an  erroneous  decision.  While  it  is 
true  that  the  rule  reads,  "  In  case  of  interference  or  collision 
the  party  causing  the  same,  whether  willfully  or  otherwise, 
may  be  ruled  out,"  it  is  so  thoroughly  incompatible  with  jus- 
tice— "fair-play'. — when  an  intentional  foul  is  perpetrated  to 
punish  as  lightly  as  giving  the  last  place  in  the  heat  that  the 
practice  should  not  be  tolerated.  With  the  whole  of  the 
track  outside  of  Alix  at  hi6  disposal,  as  the  third  at  the  start 
was  trailiug,  Alix  and  none  of  the  others  in  the  way,  the  only 
excuse  for  Dickerson  to  offer  was  to  save  as  much  ground  as 
possible,  and  as  Geers'  testimony  and  all  the  other  evidence 
I  have  read,  with  the  exception  of  McHenry's  affidavit, 
proves  that  he  was  solely  the  cause  of  the  collision,  "  ruling 
out"  would  have  been  none  too  severe  punishment.  But  the 
action  of  the  judges  was  final,  and  if  erroneous  in  the  way  of 
too  much  leniency,  so  long  as  may  occupies  the  place  it  does 
in  Rule  91,  the  Board  could  not  reverse  tbat  decision.  There 
are  other  queer  features,  however,  which  are  not  so  easy  to 
explain,  but  until  all  the  evidence  is  furnished  it  will  be 
premature  to  criticise.  Clark's  Horse  Review,  in  publishing 
the  full  stenographic  report  of  the  investigation,  has  done  a 
great  deal  for  the  "good  of  the  cause."  Should  the  remain- 
der be  reported  as  fully  as  that  already  given,  the  whole  case, 
as  far  as  it  has  gone,  will  be  presented  for  review  without  fa- 
voritism in  displaying  the  evidence.  With  all  that  was  offered 
to  the  Board  to  form  an  opinion  upon  a  conclusion  can  be 
reached;  with  only  a  part  a  good  deal  is  left  to  conjecture. 

Taking  Curry's  testimony  and  that  of  Griffith  as  published 
in  the  Review,  and  that  of  Stewart,  as  given  in  the  American 
Sportsman,  it  seems  as  though  it  might  be  the  duty  of  the 
Board  to  pursue  the  investigation  still  further.  Either  Stew- 
art deserves  punishment  for  attempted  bribery  or  Curry  for 
libel.  Hickok  can  throw  a  good  deal  of  light  on  the  question, 
but  then  again  if  his  evidence  is  corroborative  of  Currv, 
while  it  would  go  a  long  way  to  justify  Curry  in  making  the 
statement  he  did,  it  would  not  convict  Stewart.  That  would 
merely  prove  that  Stewart  had  sent  a  message  that  he  wanted 
to  see  Curry,  which  would  imply  that  he  wanted  to  do  "busi- 
ness" with  him.  It  is  not  at  all  likely  that  if  others  were  in 
the  scheme  that  they  would  proffer  their  testimony,  aud  then 
again  there  is  an  invincible  armor  in  these  kind  of  trials  that 
if  perjury  is  required  to  exculpate  there  is  no  legal  penalty 
attached. 

But  the  publication  of  the  evidence  in  full  will  set  people 
to  thinking,  and  will  certainly  induce  more  caution  in  con- 
ducting trotting  meetings,  and  a  closer  surveillance  of  the 
sport.  The  scandal  attending  the  great  race  will  not  down  at 
the  mandate  of  the  Board  or  the  endeavor  to  relieve  guilty 
parties  of  the  odium  be  entirely  successful. 

I  earnestly  hope  that  one  result  will  follow  the  publication, 
that  being  the  danger  attending  book-betting  in  harness 
sports.  Dangerous  as  it  is  in  racing,  as  has  been  shown  by 
the  suspensions,  expulsions  and  accusations  during  the  past 
seven  months  in  San  Francisco,  so  numerous  that  it  appears 
incredible  that  any  one  should  imagine  such  rascality  could 
eiist  and  people  retain  confidence  in  the  "squareness  of  the 
deal"  at  any  stage  of  the  proceedings,  and  with  the  increased 
facilities  for  deception,  the  still  greater  temptations  that  will 
follow  the  pernicious  system  on  the  tracks,  a  system  which 
has  already  brought  antagonism  sufficient  to  close  many  race 
courses,  and  awakened  a  hostile  feeling  in  all  parts  of  the 
country,  the  end  is  not  far  away.

All  Hail,  Sonoma  and  Marin! — Were  arguments  neces. 
sary  to  prove  that  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman  proffered 
good  advice  in  urging  associations  to  give  liberal  pnrses,  with 
small  entry  fees,  few  sentences  would  be  required.  In  fact,  a 
mere  showing  of  the  entries  in  the  purses  which  have  closed 
would  be  convincing,  and  especially  the  change  from  the  few 
entries  which  were  made  when  the  purses  at  Petaluma  were 
comparatively  small  to  those  which  came  when  the  list  was 
raised.  Ten  purses  of  one  thousand  dollars  each  attracted 
172  entries,  and  a  remarkable  feature  in  connection  therewith 
was  that  there  were  only  three  in  which  there  were  double 
entries  ;  that  is,  that  there  are  169  subscribers.  When  events 
close  so  long  before  the  time  of  action,  it  is  usual  to  find  many 
duplications,  the  large  establishments  making  several  in  order 
to  have  a  choice  when  the  race  comes  off.  In  former  years 
this  has  been  a  prominent  feature,  and  small  breeders  were 
reluctant  to  enter  into  engagements  when  they  were  limited 
to  one  against  the  choice  of  many.  To  take  the  three-year- 
old  2:27  class  for  an  illustration.  There  are  twenty-two 
entries,  the  same  number  of  subscribers,  Palo  Alto  and  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farms  being  on  the  same  footing  as  the  others. 

The  "  nomination  purses,"  three  of  them,  $1,000,  $1,200 
and  $1,200,  have  thirty-five  subscribers,  and  as  that  carries 
the  right  to  name  up  to  the  first  of  August,  that  is  fully  as 
good  a  showing  as  the  larger  average.  These  are  for  a  2:20 
class  trotting,  a  2:16  class  trotting  and  a  2:14  class  pacing. 
This  proves  that  the  faster  divisions  will  be  fully  represented, 
and  even  though  the  free-for-all  did  not  fill,  it  must  be  borne 
in  mind  that  it  does  not  indicate  that  these  classes  will  not  be 
incorporated.  When  the  circuit  opens,  in  all  probability 
there  will  be  enough  of  the  very  fast  to  make  interesting 
contests,  and  specials  gotten  up  to  give  them  an  opportunity 
to  display  their  speed. 

1  have  not  the  least  hesitation  in  predicting  that  the 
Sonoma  and  Marin  Fair  of  1S94  will  be  the  grandest  exhibi- 
tion in  the  history  of  the  association.  Always  popular  at  home 
aud  abroad,  there  will  be  an  increase  of  attendance  from  a 
distance,  owing  to  the  positive  certainty  of  being  well  repaid 
for  the  time  given.  The  home  folk  as  a  rule  attend  en  masse, 
though  in  all  probability  every  valley  and  every  hill  in  that 
renowned  section  of  California  will  send  outsomauy  that  the 
fair  grounds  will  be  taxed  to  its  utmost  capacity.  With  such 
an  efficient  management  and  a  list  of  entries  which  wins  the 
banner,  inasmuch  as  not  a  single  class  outside  of  the  free-for- 
alls  failed  to  fill,  success  is  placed  beyond  the  most  remote 
contingency.

The  Oakland  Trotting  Park.— Further  than  that 
Thos.  H.  Williams  Jr.  has  secured  a  lease  of  the  Oakland 
Trotting  Park  I  am  not  informed.  As  Mr.  Williams  has 
started  on  a  journey  to  Japan  there  is  no  way  of  obtaining  an 
authoritative  statement  of  his  intentions  regarding  the  prop- 
erty, though  doubtless  he  has  impowered  some  one  to  act  for 
him  during  his  absence. 

There  are  plenty  of  surmise",  a  few  who  claim  to  have 
definite  information  of  what  will  be  doue,  but  when  pressed 
that  is  found  to  be  merely  guess  work. 


The  occupincy  of  both  the  Bay  District  and  Oakland, 
practically  by  the  same  persons,  gives  the  power  of  being 
either  of  great  service  to  the  light-harness  horse  interests  of 
the  coast,  or  a  great  drawbac  -.  Some  contend  that  the  ob- 
ject of  Mr.  Williams  will  be  to  throw  everything  into  the 
racing  department,  and  the  trotting  will  be  entirely  ignored. 
It  strikes  me,  however,  that  neither  the  inclination  of  Mr. 
Williams  nor  his  pecuniary  interests  warrant  such  a  con- 
clusion, and  that  in  place  of  his  ownership  of  the  Oakland 
track  being  detrimental  to  trotting  that  it  will  be  decidedly 
beneficial. 

It  is  certainly  a  wise  move  to  secure  a  track  for  racing 
should  the  Bay  District  be  beyond  his  reach,  and  in  place  of 
having  to  hurry  up  the  construction  of  a  new  course  at  Sun- 
nyside,  so  as  to  meet  the  exigencies  of  a  thirty  days'  lease  of 
the  Bay  District,  should  that  clause  be  enforced,  there  would 
be  no  break  in  the  racing.  But  until  that  state  of  affairs  takes 
place  I  cannot  see  wherein  the  closing  of  the  Oakland  track 
to  the  harness  division  would  further  Mr.  Williams'  interests. 
These  can  be  subserved  by  the  Oakland  track  for  trotting 
purposes  and  the  Golden  Gate  Fair,  so  long  as  the  present 
status  remains  without  detriment  to  racing.  Should  the  re- 
solve be  to  taboo  trotting  it  is  nearly  certain  that  a  trotting 
track  would  be  constructed,  and  in  that  case  there  would  be 
active  antagonism. 

The  lease  of  the  Oakland  track,  at  the  figures  which  Mr. 
Wright  secured,  would  be  remunerative  were  the  Summer 
and  Fall  meetings  of  the  T.  H.  B.  A.  and  the  Golden  Gate 
Fair  be  held  on  it.  It  may  be  that  the  California  Jockey 
Club  is  interested  with  Mr.  Williams  in  the  track,  and  should 
that  be  the  case  there  are  no  complications.  That  would,  of 
course,  give  the  power  to  enforce  stringent  terms  on  the  trot- 
ting associations  which  desired  to  hold  meetings  on  one  or 
other  of  these  courses,  but  anything  like  an  extravagant  price 
would  result  in  the  meetings  coming  off  in  some  of  the  neigh- 
boring towns.  Since  the  above  was  written  I  have  learned 
from  good  authority  that  Mr.  Williams  intends  to  have  it 
kept  for  trotting  purposes.  His  reasons  for  securing  the 
lease  were  to  "  head  off"  any  attempt  to  hold  race  meetings 
in  opposition  to  those  of  the  club  in  which  he  is  interested, 
and  now  tnat  he  has  secured  control,  opposition  would  involve 
the  outlay  of  a  large  amount  of  money.

Petaluma  Entry  List. — There  is  another  indication 
besides  filling  the  purses  of  the  Sonoma  and  Marin  programme 
which  is  a  good  augury  for  all  the  fairs.  That  is,  that  as  the 
season  progressed  there  was  no  diminution  in  the  entries. 
The  middle  of  May,  when  the  entries  closed,  is  pretty  well 
along  in  the  season,  and  trainers,  as  a  rule,  can  form  some  es- 
timate of  the  ability  of  their  horses.  Also  there  is  a  fair 
chance  to  know  what  the  effeel  of  the  months  since  their  last 
races  has  been,  and  whether  ailing  legs  have  mended,  and 
wasted  flesh  made  good  or  not.  These  entries  are  guarantees 
of  a  great  year  for  trotting  sport  in  California.  This  I  have 
foretold  from  the  first,  but  never  with  as  much  confidence  as 
is  felt  now.  There  are  very  few  declarations  so  far,  and  now 
that  their  chances  to  draw  out  in  the  purses  of  the  P.  C.  T. 
H.  B.  A.  have  passed,  with  such  a  limited  number  of  with- 
drawals, there  are  strong  reasons  for  the  belief  that  the 
"fields"  will  be  large.  Had  there  been  serious  casualties  those 
who  suffered  would  have  dropped  out,  and  if  others  had 
failed  so. come  up  to  reasonable  expectations  in  the  way  of 
showing  progress,  these,  too,  would  be  missing.  It  is  quite 
true  that  with  the  races  so  far  away  the  work  has  not  been 
very  trying,and  the  neit  month  will  be  a  more  severe  test.  In 
one  respect  this  dilatoriness  in  training  has  been  an  advan- 
tage. Horses  that  are  "seasoned"  will  endure  a  strain  without 
injury  which  would  have  been  disastrous  in  the  early  stages 
of  training,  and  now  that  "working  out  days"  will  entail  sev- 
eral heats  before  the  work  is  brought  toa  close,  the  long  prep- 
aration will  do  away  with  much  of  the  risk.

There  are  many  funny  scenes  enacted  daily  at  both  the 
Fair  Grounds  and  South  Side  race  tracks,  says  the  St.  Louis 
Sporting  News.  Both  tracks  are  being  watched  carefully  by 
the  health  board  officials  who  are  determined  to  keep  small- 
pox out  of  both  places.  Every  new  arrival  is  taken  hold  of 
and  vaccinated.  Many  very  amusing  scenes  have  been  wit- 
nessed by  the  vaccination  bureau  aPthe  track.  With  applica- 
tions for  badges  would  come  tbe  invariable  answer  to  owners 
and  trainers:  '•  You  must  be  vaccinated  before  your  badges 
will  be  issued,"  and  on  a  demurrer  the  applicant  would  receive 
the  further  information  :  "  AH  right ;  no  scratch,  no  badge." 
So  nine  out  of  every  ten  submitted  to  the  operation.  As  is 
always  the  case  in  the  experience  of  physicians,  strong  men 
to  whom  fear  was  an  unknown  quality,  would  keel  over  in  a 
dead  faint,  after  a  minute  or  so  of  the  constant  "  digging  "  of 
the  inexorable  lancet.  Not  that  it  hurt,  but,  as  most  of  them 
would  explain  when  they  came  to,  surprised  and  sheepish  at 
their  exhibition  of  weakness,  "  the  digging  at  their  skin  made 
them  nervous,"  and  with  a  laugh  and  a  surprised  look  they 
would  pass  out  to  be  well  rallied  by  their  friends.  One  of 
these  "poor  innocents"  was  Frank  James,  the  more  or  less 
famous  Missouri  "  outlaw,"  who  has  played  the  mystical  hero 
in  scores  of  blood-and-thunder  novels,  and  turned  gray  the 
hair  of  sheriffs  from  the  Gulf  to  the  Great  Lakes.  But  the 
dare-devil  desperado  whose  deeds  and  exploits  have  formed 
so  many  exciting  themes  for  young  and  old,  has  of  late  years 
foresworn  his  former  paths  and  taken  alternatively  to  commer- 
cial life  and  that  of  a  turfman.  Since  James  has  been  on  the 
turf  he  has  made  himself  quite  Dopular,  and  hiving  several 
horses  now  at  the  Fair  Grounds,  he,  with  oth^r-,  when  mak- 
ing application  for  badges,  was  told  that  he  wjuld  have  to 
submit  to  being  vaccinated.  With  a  grin  and  a  reply  that  it 
was  "  dead  easy,"  James  bared  his  right  arm  for  one  of  Dr. 
Homan's  young  assistants.  The  arm  that  had  sent  out  so 
many  deadly  missies  was  lanced,  and  the  operation  was  going 
on  in  the  usual  perfunctory  manner,  when  the  Doctor  and 
bystanders  were  amazed  by  seeing  James,  with  a  start,  drop 
over  like  a  stuck  pig,  the  swoon  being  as  unexpected  as  it  was 
sudden.  Perhaps  the  most  surprised  man  when  he  came  to 
was  James  himself.  And  the  man  who  had  in  his  day 
received  many  a  bullet  and  knife  slash  in  his  body,  but  could 
not  stand  the  pricking  of  a  lancet,  walked  oft  with  an  incred- 
ulous look  on  his  face,  as  much  as  to  say  that  he  would  not 
have  believed  such  a  thing  possible  had  it  not  occurred  to 
him  personally. 

Directtm    (2:05})   arrived   at   Omaha,  Neb.,  May  *2oth(

Tuberculosis  in  Cattle  at  Stockton. 

•  Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  :— It  was  my  good 
fortune  to  be  invited  to  assist  in  marking  a  test  for  tuber- 
culosis among  the  herd  of  cattle  which  supplies  milk  for 
the  State  Asylum  at  Stockton. 

The  herd,  in  all,  numbers  about  fifty  head  and  is  composed 
of  thoroughbred  and  high-grade  Holsteins.  The  herd,  as 
seen  in  the  barnyard,  looked  to  the  casual  observer  to  be  as 
pretty  a  herd  as  could  be  found  anywhere.  In  fact,  so  healthy 
did  they  appear,  that  I  do  not  believe  an  expert  could  ex- 
amine the  herd — without  the  use  of  tuberculin — and  pick 
out  four  animals  that  showed  any  deviation  from  health. 

Some  time  ago  Dr.  Buggies,  President  of  the  State  Board 
of  Health  and  Dr.  C.  B.  Orvis,  County  Veterinarian  for  San 
Joaquin  County,  obtained  permission  from  the  directors  of 
the  Asylum  to  test  some  of  the  herd  with  tuberculin. 

On  May  21st  eleven  animals  we/e  separated  from  the  herd 
without  any  attempt  at  selecting  them,  and  as  far  as  could 
be  determined  there  was  no  difference  between  tbose  that 
were  culled  out  and  those  that  remained. 

The  eleven  head  consisted  of  one  heifer,  seven  cows  and 
three  bulls. 

Upon  a  physical  examination  these  animals,  with  but  one 
exception,  seemed  in  perfect  health  and  presented  the  ap- 
pearance of  a  very  fancy  lot.  The  one  exception,  a  cow,  while 
she  might,  to  a  casual  observer,  present  a  healthy  appearance; 
on  close  observation,  however,  it  was  noticed  "that  she  was 
suffering  from  a  chronic  cough. 

On  the  evening  of  Monday,  May  21st,  at  10  p.  m.,  each  of 
the  eleven  head  received  a  hypodermic  injection  of  tubercu- 
lin, the  dose  being  regulated  to  suit  the  size  of  the  animal. 
By' taking  the  temperature  before  and  after  the  iniection  at 
stated  periods,  it  was  found  that  in  one  heifer,  five  cows  and 
two  bulls  the  reaction  showed  a  rise  in  temperature  of  from 
three  to  five  degrees  Fahr.  The  remaining  two  cows  and  one 
bull  showed  no  reaction.  The  result  of  the  test  showed  there- 
fore, that  eight  of  the  eleven  head  were  tuberculous. 

The  next  step  was  10  prove  the  tests  by  autopsies.  Mow  here 
is  where  the  interesting  part  comes  in,  up  to  this  time  the 
medical  staff  connected  with  the  asylum,  made  no  objection 
to  the  experiments,  but  when  it  was  discovered  that  over 
seventy  per  cent,  of  these  animals  were  affected  they  strenu- 
ously objected  to  further  steps  beiDg  taken,  claiming  as  an  ex- 
cuse that  the  tuberculin  test  was  not  reliable,  also  that  the 
tests  bad  not  been  conducted  in  a  proper  manner  (the  tests 
were  conducted  under  instructions  issued  by  the  United  States 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry). 

Mow  j ust  why  these  physicians  took  it  upon  themselves, 
when  they  had  an  authority  to  do  so,  to  object  to  the  holding 
of  autopsies  on  the  suspected  cases,  is  a  mystery  to  me,  I 
should  think  that  in  behalf  of  sanitation  and  scientific  investi- 
gation they  should  only  be  too  glad  to  assist  instead  of  trying 
to  raise  difficulties.  It  is  possible,  perhaps,  that  these  gentle- 
men were  acting  under  professional  jealousy,  or  what  is  still 
more  prjbable,  they  were  suffering  from  ignorance  on  all 
matters  pertaining  to  tuberculosis,  may  be,  however,  their 
continued  association  with  inmates  of  the  asylum  had  under- 
mined their  reason.  Permission  in  spite  of  all  obstacles,  was 
obtained  to  hold  the  autopsies  on  Saturday,  May  26. 

Here  again  the  medical  staff  of  the  asylum  .endeavored  to 
throw  obstacles  in  our  way  in  order  that  their  ignorance  on 
such  matters  should  not  be  revealed,  and  I  will  say  right  here 
in  justice  to  the  medical  profession,  that  I  do  believe  that 
it  is  the  first  time  I  have  seen  any  of  its  members  show  such 
a  discourteous  demeanor  aga*r.-t  the  veterinary  profession  as 
these  men  did.  It  was  evidentby  their  demeanor  on  this  oc- 
casion that  they  considered  the  members  of  the  veterinary 
profession  a  set  of  ignoramusses  and  far  beneath  them  in  re- 
gard to  knowledge  on  sanitary  matters.  These  men  so 
maneuvered  that  we  were  only  permitted  to  hold  autopsies  on 
two  cases,  when  the  first  intention  was  to  hold  autopsies  on 
all  the  suspected  animals.  And  in  order  to  Bhow,  if  possible, 
that  the  tuberculin  test  was  not  reliable,  these  men  picked 
two  of  the  best  animals  out  of  the  eight,  which  animals  showed 
less  reaction  than  any  of  the  others.  Up  to  the  time  that  the 
first  post-mortem  had  been  held  these  gentlemen  kept  con- 
demning us  for  wishing  to  destroy  the  animals,  saying  that 
they  believed  the  tuberculosis  to  be  a  rare  disease  among 
dairy  cattle,  and  that  they  were  by  no  means  satisfied  that 
the  disease  was  transmissable.  And  even  when  the  post- 
mortem revealed  the  tubercular  desposits  in  the  lungs  and 
in  the  lymphatic  glands  all  over  the  body,  these  men  ex- 
pressed their  opinion  that  an  animal  so  affected  was  not  dan- 
gerous to  human  life.  And  while  holding  the  autopsy  on  the 
second  cow,  which  by  the  way  was  affected  with  a  more  ad- 
vanced form  of  the  disease,  they  demanded  that  we  be  care- 
ful to  keep  the  carcass  clean  as  they  did  not  intend  to  destroy 
it,  but  were  going  to  save  it  and  feed  it  to  the  inmates  of  the 
asylum. 

After  we  got  through  with  these  two  cases  we  asked  per- 
mission to  hold  a  post-mortem  on  one  of  the  bulls  which  had 
reacted  under  the  test.  Their  objection  to  this  was  that  they 
did  not  wish  to  destroy  the  bull,  as  they  were  going  to  dis- 
pose of  him  to  a  man  over  the  mountains. 

Now,  Mr.  Editor,  if  investigators  in  discharge  of  their  duties 
are  met  with  so  many  difficulties,  placed  in  their  way  by  men 
who  are  supposed  to  be  reputable  physicians,  what  are  we  to 
expect  at  the  hands  of  men  who  are  not  supposed  to  be  posted 
on  these  matters  ? 

It  is  not  known  what  disposition  will  be  made  of  the  balance 
of  the  stock  at  the  asylum,  but  if  I  understood  the  law  on 
this  matter  right,  the  State  Board  of  Health  have  the  power, 
and  it  is  their  sworn  duty,  to  order  the  entire  herd  submitted 
to  a  lest  with  tuberculin,  and  those  found  to  react  under  this 
test  should  be  destroyed  and  their  carcasses  turned  into  tal- 
low. I  am  afraid,  however,  that  just  as  soon  as  the  press 
discontinues  drawing  the  public  attention  to  this  matter,  it 
will  be  dropped  and  forgotten. 

It  has  been  stated  in  some  of  the  daily  papers  that  all  dairies 
in  the  State  ard  similarly  affected.  This  would  he  a  very 
deplorable  state  of  affairs,  indeed,  if  it  were  so,  but  unfortu- 
nately for  the  public  all  dairy  herds  are  not  by  any  means  in 
as  bad  a  condition  as  the  herd  at  the.  Stockton  asylum.  For 
thi-i  reason  the  herd  at  the  asylum  is  composed  of  high-grade 
cattle ;  they  are  inbred,  sheltered  and  pampered,  and  are  kept 
confined  in  a  small  yard  where  it  isimpossibefor  them  to  get 
sufficient  exercise.  Inbred  cattle  kept  in  such  a  condition 
are  much  more  susceptible  to  the  disease.  There  is,  beyond 
doubt,  a  large  percentage  of  tuberculosis  among  inbred  thor- 
oughbred stock  and  in  dairies  whose  sanitary  surroundings 
are  poor,  but  cattle  which  are  kept  in  a  natural  condition  are 


not  nearly  so  liable  to  be  affected  with  consumption,  and  I  do 
not  believe  that,  as  a  rule,  more  than  five  per  cent,  of  range 
cattle  are  tuberculous. 

The  above  experiments  show  that  it  is  possible  to  purify  all 
dairy  herds,  and  it  is  clearly  the  duty  of  all  health  authorities 
to  take  active  measures  to  submit  every  dairy  herd  in  the 
State  to  a  tuberculin  test. 

There  is  no  doubt  that  the  disease  is  on  the  increase,  and 
is  increasing  so  rapidly  that  it  is  only  a  matter  of  a  few  years 
till  every  herd  of  cattle  in  this  State  will  be  affected  to  a  con- 
siderable extent. 

Of  course,  until  several  official  tests  are  conducted  it  will  be 
impossible  to  determine  what  percentage  of  milch  cows  in 
this  State  are  affected  with  tuberculosis,  but  I  feel  satisfied, 
and  I  can  safely  say,  that  if  the  percentage  of  consumptive 
animals  among  our  herds  was  known,  it  would  surprise  a 
great  many  people  in  this  community. 

Dr.  H.  A.  Spencer,  of  San  Jose,  Dr.  T.  Maclay,  of  Peta- 
Iuma,  and  Br.  J.  H.  Eddy,  of  Stockton,  also  assisted  in  mak- 
ing the  experiments.     Respectfully, 

R.  A.  Archibald,  D.  V.  S. 


Breeding  For  Fillies. 


A  Churchman's  View  of  Racing. 

The  following  interesting  and  unique  letter  written  by  a 
churchman  appeared  in  a  recent  issue  of  Daily  America: 

Judging  by  the  actions  of  the  Legislatures  in  New  Jersey 
District  of  Columbia  and  elsewhere,  it  would  appear  that  a 
wave  of  disapproval  of  the  race  tracks  is  passing  over  the 
land,  and  the  royal  sport  of  the  Anglo-Saxon  race  is  on  trial 
before  the  national  jury.  There  may  be  sundry  reasons  for 
the  apparently  moral  antipathy  which  underlies  this  legisla- 
tion. In  the  first  place,  both  in  this  State  and  New  Jersey, 
prominent  politicians  have  identified  themselves  with  the 
sport,  and,  the  public  generally  believe,  greatly  to  their  profit 
Hence  the  impression  has  grown  that  the  race  tracks  are 
affiliated  wkh  Tammany  politics,  ana  ^ean  spoils  at  the 
expense  of  their  patrons.  The  fact  is  overlooked  that  in 
Great  Britain  the  leading  statesmen  hav<»  often  been  identi- 
fied with  the  turf,  and  nude  its  associations  both  respectable 
and  dignified.  There  is  a  difference  here,  of  course,  inasmuch 
as  there  is  absence  of  that  divinity  which  doth  dodge  about 
the  titled  holder  of  official  position  there.  The  difference,  in 
this  respect,  is  largely  made  up  of  sentiment,  and  ought  not 
to  be  made  a  factor  against  the  sport. 

In  the  next  place  the  sport  is  considered  by  our  moral 
purists  as  unadulterated  gambling,  and  while  speculation  in 
stocks  and  produce,  etc.,  may  be  allowed  to  run  riot  and 
bring  ruin  to  thousands,  the  speculation  on  the  capacity  of 
the  thoroughbred  meets  with  their  unmitigated  condemna- 
tion. 

Now,  being  both  a  churchman  and  a  business  m->.n,  I  am 
free  to  state  from  experience  that  there  is  as  much  opportun- 
ity, both  for  speculation  and  for  profit,  when  conducted  on 
correct  lines,  in  the  thoroughbred  as  in  either  oil  or  sugar. 

People  generally  go  to  the  races  and  pay  for  the  sport. 
Where  one  comes  away  winner  certainly  two  come  away 
losers — and  why?  Simply  because  what,  with  a  view  to  profit, 
should  be  conducted  on  mercantile  or  scientific  lines  is  with 
the  great  majority  a  mere  game  of  chance.  They  buy  the 
bookmakers' tickets  just  as  they  would  buy  policy  slips  or 
take  their  chances  on  the  red  and  black  at  a  country  fair — 
with  the  trite  complaint  that  racing  is  a  "  chiselling"  game 
all  through. 

I  once  thought  so  myself,  and  now  that  the  greatest  racing 
season  ever  seen  in  this  country  it  at  hand,  a  word  in  season 
may  tend  to  prevent  any  great  increase  in  the  number  of 
those  pessimists  who,  without  any  knowledge  of  the  game, 
would  play  against  the  astute  bookmaker  and  complain  be- 
cause of  defeat.  "There's  millions  in  it,"  as  Col.  Sellers  used 
to  say,  provided  you  can  always  pick  the  winners.  But  this 
glorious  uncertainty  after  all  is  what  sustains  the  sport. 

Without  exception  there  is  no  universal  rule,  and  the  rule 
which  governs  the  selection  of  the  winning  thoroughbred  has 
many  selections.  But  the  rule  to  go  bv  is  formulated  by  this  : 
What  speed  can  the  several  horses  in  a  race  maintain  through 
a  given  distance  under  a  certain  impost  of  weight,  taking  in- 
to consideration  the  condition  of  the  track  and  the  capacity 
of  the  jockey  as  a  starter  and  finisher  ? 

This  can  only  be  done  by  a  careful  examination  of  the  rec- 
ords, to  do  which  will  prove  that  as  much  hard  work  is  as 
necessary  as  in  any  other  business,  but  which,  when  done 
thoroughly,  will  enable  you  to  make  a  profitable  investment 
in  three  races  out  of  every  four. 


A  year  ago  our  esteemed  friend  Smith  (pronounced  Srnythe, 
you  know)  was  quite  full  of  a  theory  he  had  that  "  was  dead 
sure  to  get  fillies,"" says  Trotwood  in  Clark's  Horse  Review. 
He  never  told  us  the  exact  formula,  but  the  moon  came  in  for 
a  full  sha^e  of  the  secret,  and  played  her  usually  conspicuous 
part  in  this  rabbit  foot  process.  Something  was  whispered 
about  "  head  to  the  west  on  the  dark  of  the  moon  and  to  the 
east  on  the  full,"  but  it  was  all  gibberish  to  us  and  we  took 
our  interest  out  in  patiently  waiting.  It  was  rumored  around 
the  village  post  office  that  Smith  had  written  to  Washington 
to  have  the  process  patented,  but  was  unable  to  put  it  through 
for  lack  of  a  model — the  Breckenridge  case  not  having  then 
attracted  the  attention  it  has  since.  He  was  often  heard  to 
chuckle  over  the  matter,  and  declare  that  he  had  solved  the 
solution  of  the  age,  and  that  from  henceforth  on  no  man 
need  have  a  "  hoss-colt "  (we  use  the  term  advisedly)  dropped 
on  his  farm  save  by  his  own  wish. 

Smith  had  but  two  mares  and  named  their  "filly  colts" 
(this  term  is  also  used  advisedly — being  very  strong  in  Ten- 
nessee) eight  months  before  they  came.  One  was  to  be  called 
Luzetta  and  the  other  Lizzieretta. 

Last  week  as  we  went  by  Smith's  house  we  observed  three 
lusty,  healthy  colts,  of  the  male  persuasion,  occupying  the 
niche  of  the  family  disgust  that  should  have  been  filled  in 
delight  by  Luzette  and  Lizzieretta.  We  could  not  resist  the 
temptation  to  call  and  inquire  for  Smith,  but  we  suppose  he 
was  away — as  we  heard  him  tell  his  wife  he  was — and  we 
took  our  revenge  out  by  writing  the  following  verses  on  "on« 
of  his  dead  sure  things"  circulars,  and  sending  it  to  him  [by 
a  negro  boy  who  saw  him  go  out  and  hide  behind  the  barn : 

Now,  Smith  he  went  in  the  morning 

And  bred  by  the  earliest  dew  ; 
Bat  when  it  came  to  the  "  horning  " 

The  little  horse-colt  came  too. 

Then  Smith  he  went  in  the  gloaming 
And  bred  bv  the  light  of  the  moon  ; 

And  now  in  his  paddock  are  roaming 
Twin  horse-colts— a  week  too  soon  i 


The  Irish  Horae. 


Next  Tuesday's  Sale. 

Col.  H.  I.  Thornton's  consignment  of  trotters  did  not  ar- 
rive in  time  for  the  sale  last  Tuesday,  neither  did  the  Whit- 
ney lot,  consequently  these  splendid  trotters  will  be  sold  next 
Tuesday  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  saleyard,  catalogues  for  which  will 
be  issued  at  once. 

Col.  Thornton's  young  trotters  are  all  sired  by  that  grand- 
looking  race  hosse  James  Madison,  2:17£,  and  people  who 
are  seeking  first-class  roadsters  and  well-matched  teams  that 
have  size,  speed  and  perfect  dispositions  should  attend.  There 
are  some  splendid -looking  driving  horses  that  will  attract  at- 
tention anywhere  in  this  consignment.  They  are  all  out  of 
choicely-selected  mares  and  every  one  is  well  broken. 

Moxboe  Salisbuky's  string  had  a  final  workout  at  the 
Pleasanton  track  Wednesday  last.  As  a  whole,  the  string  was 
in  good  form.  Directly,  Rokeby  and  Palatine,  however,  were 
not  quite  on  edge.  Directly,  the  two-year-old  pacer,  is  de- 
cidedly off,  being  unable  to  go  the  mile  better  than  2:31.  He 
may  improve,  however,  and  it  is  to  be  hoped  he  will,  as  he 
has  to  meet  some  crack  two-year-olds  in  Denver  the  first  of 
June.  One  carload  of  horses  start  next  Monday  for  Denver, 
where  they  will  stay  and  race  a  week  and  then  go  on  to 
Council  Bluffs,  where  they  will  meet  the  rest  of  the  string, 
which  will  go  direct  from  Pleasanton  to  that  place.  The 
whole  string  will  stay  and  race  at  Council  Bluffs,  and  then  go 
to  Saginaw  and  receive  final  preparations  for  the  Grand  Cir- 
cuit. 

Here's  a  chance.  A  track  harness  made  out  of  the  best 
California  leather,  with  all  the  latest  improvements,  for  $35. 
Thisis  an  offer  that  isindeed  op  with  the  times.  Write  to  P. 
Williams  at  the  Oakland  track,  he  will  tell  you  it  is  grand. 
J.  O'Kane  has  only  been  making  this  harness  for  the  past 
five  or  six  weeks,  and  has  already  sold  several  sets  to  go 
East.  Since  Mr.  O'Kane  reeeived  the  four  first  premiums  at 
the  World's  Fair  he  finds  his  Eastern  business  greatly  In- 
creased. Don't  buy  a  sulky  until  you  have  seen  his  splendid 
line.     Read  his  advertisement  on  last  page  of  this  issue. 


The  Irish  horse  has  been  famous  as  far  back  as  any  histori- 
cal record  of  it  can  be  traced,  but  of  late  years  it  has  been  the 
Irish  hunter  that  has  given  the  country  its  name  for  horse 
breeding.  In  producing  other  breeds,  such  as  the  Thorough- 
bred, Clydesdale,  Shire,  Cleveland  Bay  and  Hackney,  Ireland 
can  never  hope  to  compete  with  England  and  Scotland,  but 
in  her  own  specialty  of  the  Irish  hunter  under  an  improved 
system  she  need  fear  no  competition.  It  is,  therefore,  to  the 
development  of  the  weight- carrying  hunter  with  plenty  of 
quality — that  most  perfect  type  of  horse  for  general  utility 
and  endurance — that  her  chief  aim  should  be  directed. 

Years  ago,  before  the  introduction  of  various  English 
breeds  into  the  country,  a  type  existed  of  the  old  Irish  hun- 
ter, which  stamped  itself  on  its  progeny,  and  by  its  excellence 
in  the  hunting  field  acquired  its  reputation.  The  type  is  un- 
fortunately rare  at  the  present  time,  owing  to  the  numberless 
experiments  in  hreeding  that  have  been  tried,  and  the  hun- 
ter of  to-day  is  more  or  less  a  chance  animal,  the  result  of 
mating  a  thoroughbred  stallion  with  a  farmer's  mare;  in  fact, 
the  breeding  of  hunters  is  now  too  much  a  lottery,  with  too 
many  blanks  and  too  few  prizes.  It  is  admitted  at  once  that 
there  are  probably  as  many  of  the  very  highest  class  of  hun- 
ters bred  in  Ireland  now  as  at  any  former  time,  but  the  class 
that  produce  these  animals  is  limited,  and  to  a  large  extent 
their  value  is  only  realized  by  the  dealers,  into  whose  hands 
they  chiefly  find  their  way.  We  must  endeavor  to  reproduce 
the  type  for  which  Ireland  was  formerly  so  famous  through- 
out the  country  generally  if  we  wish  to  attain  success  in 
Irish  horse-breeding;  and  the  possibility  of  establishing  a  type 
and  developing  a  distinct  breed  is  consistently  advocated  by 
some  of  the  highest  authorities  on  the  subject. 

It  is  obvious  the  broad  question  is  not  so  much  how  those 
who  already  have  every  facility  for  breeding  good  horses  can 
be  assisted,  as  how  an  ordinary  farmer  can  be  encouraged  in 
the  production  of  the  best  class  of  animal  within  his  reach, 
while  preserving  the  character  of  the  horses  for  which  Ire- 
land has  become  famous.  The  trade  in  Irish  horses  is  now 
confined  to  the  hunters,  harness  horses,  troopers,  useful  van 
and  hack  horses,  polo  ponies  and  the  various  items  in  horse- 
flesh that  come  below  these,  while  there  is  absolutely  no  trade 
in  entire  horses  except  for  a  few  thoroughbreds  that  are 
raised  in  the  country. — The  Nineteenth  Century. 


The  sale  of  horses  last  Tuesday  was  a  poor  one.  The  ani- 
mals with  few  exceptions  were  not  in  good  saleable  condition, 
and  those  present  did  not  care  to  bid  for  them.

How  Leigh  Got  Rambler. 


Breaking  Down. 


Occupying  the  place  of  honor  among  the 
pictures  in  the  "  family  room  "  at  the  cozy 
home  of  Eugeue  Leigh,  a  few  miles  out  from 


Lexington, is  that  of  a  racehorse.  It  is  not  the 
"counterfeit"    presentment    of    the  mighty  J 
Clifford,  nor  is  it  that  of  the  beautiful  Hand- 
spun,    Spinaway's   phenomenal    two-year-old 
daughter,  for  which  a  small  fortune  has  been  | 
refused  this  early  by  the  genial  owners.    It  if , 
that  of  Rambler — plain  old  Johnny  Rambler, 
as  all  connected  with  the  powerful  racing  sta-  j 
ble  of  which  he  was  until  recently  a  member  . 
were  wont  to  call  him.    And  Bramble's  son  oc- 1 
cupied  just  as  prominent  a  place  in  the  aflec-i 
tions  of  the  owner  of  beautiful   La  Belle  as 
doe*  the  picture  in  his  home.     Why   not  ? 
Seldom  does  it  happen  that  the  prosperity  of 
an  owner  is  as  intimately  associated  with  the 
turf  career  of  a  horse  as  in  the  case  of  Eugene 
Leigh  and  Rambler,  and  it  is,  no  doubt,  with- 
in bounds  to  say  that  a  fortunate  investment 
in  the  son  of  Bramble  and  Daisy  Hoey,  back 
in  the  eighties,  made  it   possible   for  Eugene 
Leigh  now  to  be  the  owner,  or  part  owner,  of 
some  of  the  greatest  horses  on   the  American 
turf. 

It  was  in  June,  1887,  that  Mr.  Leigh  bought 
Rambler  from  Gen.  Rowett,  of  Illinois,  who 
died  very  suddenly  a  few  days  later  at  his 
stables  at  Washington  Park.  The  price  paid 
was  $5000,  and  Mr.  Leigh  himself  is  authority 
for  the  statement  that  he  had  scarcely  more 
than  turned  over  the  purchase  money — his 
all — to  the  General,  who  was  a  personal  friend, 
before  he  was  obliged  to  borrow  it  back. 
Rambler  was  then  a  two-year-old  and  still  a 
maiden,  butit  was  only  a  few  days  later  when 
he  won  for  his  new  owner.  It  is  a  curious 
coincidence  that  the  race  which  saw  him  break 
from  the  maiden  class  was  that  in  which  Henry 
Gerhardy,  so  long  Mr.  Leigh's  able  assistant 
in  the  management  and  training  of  his  horses, 
broke  from  the  ranks  of  non-winning  jockeys. 
It  is  surely  not  to  the  discredit  of  the  strong 
man  to  record  the  fact  that  he  shed  tears 
when  the  telegram  from  Mr.  Gillock  was 
shown  him  announcing  the  death  of  his  faith- 
ful though  dumb  friend.  From  that  summer 
day  of  1887  Rambler  went  on  winning  races 
for  his  owner,  until,  up  to  tbe  day  that  Pom- 
tret  kicked  him  at  Nashville,,  he  had  earned 
brackets  for  himself  sixty-three  times  and  had 
taken  in  purses  for  his  owner  upward  of 
$40,000.  In  his  class  he  was  undoubtedly  the 
greatest  breadwinner  the  American  turf  has 
yet  produced — for  it  is  a  remarkable  fact  that 
with  all  his  successes  throughout  the  seven 
years  of  his  turf  career  he  never  won  a  single 
stake,  however  small — a  statement  that  could 
not  be  made  of  his  counterpart  in  some  respects 
— old  Barnum.  Nearly  all  of  Rambler's  vic- 
tories were  as  a  matter  of  fact  achieved  in 
selling  races,  and  on  many  an  occasion  a  purse 
was  taken  at  an  actual  loss  to  the  horse's  owner, 
so  far  as  the  value  of  the  purse  itself  was  con- 
cerned. 

Some  time  after  purchasing  Rambler  Mr. 
I>eigh  entered  into  a  turf  copartnership  with 
Messrs.  Hankins  and  Kiley,  of  Chicago,  aeon- 
federation  that  was  terminated  by  the  sale  of 
tbe  horses  making  up  the  string,  including,  in 
addition  to  Rambler,  such  well-known  per* 
formers  as  Sanlalene  and  Wheeler  T.  The 
string  was  sold  at  public  sale  at  Guttenberg,in 
the  fall  of  'OO.and  Mr.  Leigh  instructed  a  then 
prominent  ffuttenburg  horseman  to  buy  in 
bier  for  him.  "How  high  shall  1  go  in 
bidding  for  him?"  a*>ked  the  Guttenburger. 
"Never  mind  how  high,"  said  Leigh,  "buy 
him  !"  This  incident  serves  to  show  how 
much  the  master  of  La  Belle  thought  of  the 
old  horse. 

Now  that  his  turf  career  is  ended  it  is  Mr. 
I -filth's  intention  to  have  the  remains  of  his 
f:iiihfnl  old  servant  brought  from  Maplewood, 
Mr.  C.  II.  Gillock's  breeding  establishment 
m MU  Nashville,  where  they  were  interred  last 
week,  to  La  Belle,  there  to  be  buried  beneath 
a  pine  tree  whose  branches  shade  the  bedroom 
windows  of  the  owner.  A  slab  will  mark  the

We  often  hear  of  race  horses  having  broken 
down,  yet  comparatively  few  know  what  the 
term  means.  A  writer  thus  describes  the  in- 
jury : 

"  Break-down  is  the  name  given  to  rupture 
of  a  tendon  or  ligament.  In  trotting  horses 
it  is  usually  below  the  knee  or  hoct  *at  the 
back  of  tbe  limb,  affecting  those  'structures 
known  as  the  flexor  sinews,  or  the  suspensory 
ligament.  The  mishap  is  most  frequent  in 
aged  animals  that  have  had  a  deal  of  track 
work  or  racing,  or  whose  sinewy  structures 
may  be  naturally  too  weak  for  the  severe  stress 
put  upon  them,  or  speeded  too  much  before 
properly  conditioned.  It  is  diagnosed  by  an 
acute  and  sudden  lameness,  a  turning  up  of 
the  toe  of  the  foot,  and  descent  of  the  ankle 
towards  the  ground,  with  rapid  swelling,  heat 
and  much  pain  at  the  point  of  injury.  With- 
in a  short  time  in  many  cases,  owing  to  the 
degree  of  suffering  thereby  created,  we  find 
considerable  symptoms  of  irritative  fever,  A 
sprain  of  these  structures  is  a  less  severe  form 
of  break-down,  and  in  which  a  laceration  or 
yielding  of  a  portion  of  their  constituent  fib- 
rous tissue  takes  the  place  of  a  rupture.  Here 
the  lameness  may  be  just  as  sudden,  and 
though  sufficiently  pronounced  is  not  so  in- 
tensely painful,  there  is  no  tendency  to  turn- 
ing up  of  the  toes  or  dropping  of  the  ankle, 
but  rather  the  reverse,  the  horse  standing  and 
walking  on  his  toe  as  much  as  possible,  keep- 
ing the  ankle  at  the  same  time  flexed  to  re- 
lieve the  sinews  and  ligaments  of  tension. 


Regarding  Judge  Pryoi^s  peculiar  de- 
cision that  racing  is  a  lottery  within  the 
meaning  of  the  law,  and  the  effort  being  made 
by  certain  persons  to  use  this  decision  for  the 
purpose  of  gratifying  personal  spite,  the  New 
York  Herald,  in  an  editorial  on  the  subject, 
hits  the  nail  on  the  head  when  it  says :  "  So 
far  as  this  is  an  issue  between  an  autocratic 
jockey  club  and  a  disgruntled  pool-dealer,  it 
is  a  squabble  more  likely  to  arouse  popular 
disgust  than  popular  sympathy.  But  so  far 
as  it  involves  the  orderly  progress  of  a  sport 
in  which  tens  of  thousands  are  interested,  and 
involves,  moreover,  the  question  whether  a 
law  of  the  State  is  to  be  juggled  with  for  per- 
sonal ends  or  to  be  duly  administered  on  pub- 
lic lines,  it  is  an  issue  that  concerns  the  en- 
tire community.

Paris  dispatch  of  Sunday  :  The  race  for 
the  Prix  de  Diana  (the  French  Oaks)  of  67,- 
850  francs,  for  three- year-old  fillies,  to  carry 
8  stone  11  pounds,  for  ten  furlongs,  was  run  at 
Chantilly  to-day,  and  was  won  by  Baron  de 
Rothschild's  brown  filly  Brisk,  Calceolaire 
second,  Flordid  third.  There  were  ten  start- 
ers. The  posted  odds  were  10  to  1  against 
Brisk,  7  to  5  against  Calceolaire  and  8  to  1 
against  Klordid.  The  horses  got  away  to  a 
fair  start.  Brisk  and  Calceolaire  ran  behind 
together  until  they  were  entering  the  stretch. 
Here  they  were  given  their  heads  and  rushed 
to  the  front,  racing  almost  neck  and  neck. 
Then  ensued  a  fine  tussle  for  first  place. 
Brisk's  staying  powers  were  better  than  those 
of  her  opponent's,  and  she  finished  a  half- 
length  in  front.

A  prominent  official  who  made  a  host  of 
friends  here  during  his  six-months'  stay  is  not 
only  a  good  man  to  have  around  a  judges' 
stand,  but  he  is  a  wit  as  well.  Last  Saturday 
he  was  told  a  friend  wanted  to  see  him  in  the 
press  stand,  and  upon  climbing  up  the  stairs, 
was  asked  if  he  wouldn't  have  a  few  drops  of 
McBrayer.  "  I  am  much  obliged,"  said  he, 
"  and  no  one  appreciates  old  Kaintuck's  chief 
product  better,  but  my  stomach  has  not  been 
surprised  in  this  respect  for  several  moons. 
And  you  can  realize  the  temptation  I  am  now 
subjected  to  when  I  say  that  I  am  better  bred 
for  a  lover  of  good  whiskey  than  Lexington 
was  for  a  race  horse." 


Vienna  dispatch  of  Sunday  :  The  Aus- 
trian Derby  was  run  to  day.  As  the  racers 
were  nearing  the  wiuning  post  Finegoyerck, 
one  of  the  leaders,  stumbled  and  fell.  Five 
horses  following  struck  the  prostrate  animal, 
and  all  were  piled  in  a  heap.  Mixed  up  in 
the  pile  of  frightened  and  kicking  beasts  were 
their  jockeys.  The  track  hands  ran  to  the 
assistance  of  the  jockeys,  who  were  finally 
rescued  from  their  dangerous  position.  Not 
cne  of  them  was  dangerously  hurt,  but  two  or 
three  of  the  boys  will  not  beable  to  again  ride 
for  some  time.    The  race  was  won  by  Hagus 

"  You  seem  to  be  fond  of  Torkins." 

11  Yes.  We  always  go  to  the  races  to- 
gether." 

"  I'e  no  doubt  he's  a  nice  fellow.  But  he 
stutters  so  dreadfully." 

"That's  why  I  like  him.  When  he  ^ives 
me  a  tip  on  a  horse  he  gets  excited  and  the 
race  is  over  before  he  can  get  half-way 
through." 

Village  Farm  hopes  to  have-  one  of  its 
greatest  performers  in  Heir-at-Law,  2:20i,  the 
full  brother  to  Prince  Regent.  He  is  much 
faster  than  when  he  was  raced  as  a  four-year- 
old,  and  is  aoting  better.  He  has  stepped  a 
half  in  1:08}  with  the  utmost  ease.

The  White  Star  steamer  Bovie  arrived  Sun- 
day at  New  York  from  Liverpool  with  a 
consignment  of  fine  racing  stock  for  John  Mor-

the  seven-year-old,  Sister  Cheerful,  by  Pet- 
rarch, out  of  Nun,  with  foal  by  Marion.

A  telegram  from  Lexington  states  that 
Maj.B.  G.  Thomas  has  been  offered  $8,500 
for  the  yearling  full  brother  to  Domino,  and 
giving  the  Messrs.  Keene,  the  owners  of  Dom- 
ino, as  the  would-be  buyers.  Having  cata- 
logued the  youngster  for  the  sale  of  the  Dixi- 
ana  yearlings, which  takes  \  lace  at  the  Ameri- 
can Horse  Exchange  in  this  city  on  Tuesday 
evening,  May  29th, Maj.  Thomas  of  course  de- 
clined to  sntertain  the  offer,  as  he  would  have 
done  had  the  bid  been  many  times  larger,  and 
there  seems  to  be  little  reason  to  doubt  that 
when  put  up  at  auction  the  son  of  Hi  invar 
will  bring  a  great  deal  more  than  the  sum 
mentioned.  The  earning  capacity  of  a  race 
horse  is  yearly  increasing,  for  in  the  com- 
paratively short  period  elapsing  since  Tre- 
mont  won  $40,000  as  a  two-year-old,  to  1893, 
when  Domino  won  $180,000  at  the  same  age, 
there  is  an  immense  margin  of  difference. 
The  Dixiana  yearlings  will  this  season  num- 
ber 33  head,  and  the  sale  on  the  29th  will  be 
augmented  by  six  yearlings  from  the  farm  of 
Mr.  Tyree  Bate^of  Tennessee,  who  will  offer 
five  youngsters  by  imported  Glenelg  and  one 
by  imported  Rayon  d'Or.  Of  the  Dixiana  lot 
29  are  by  Himyar,  and  in  addition  to  the 
brother  to  Domino  and  Correction,  there  are 
brothers  toGeorgia,King  Himyar,  West  Side, 
Adora,  Banker's  Daughter,  Wah  Jim,  Ros- 
common, Halton,  Himyara,  Rejection,  half- 
brothers  to  Best  Boy,  Hansa,  Hyde  Park,

and  sisters  and  half-sisters  to  Bow  Kust, 
French  Park,  Craftie,  Mackintosh,  Korku,

Used  Up  Old  Horses. 


They  have  at  Belvidere  a  place  that  is  face- 
tiously alluded  to  as  the  "  Mecca  "  of  super- 
annuated horses.  It  is  so  called  because  when 
wornout  plugs  have  exceeded  their  days  of 
usefulness  in  that  vicinity  and  elsewhere  they 
generally  reach  there  to  give  np  the  last 
pound  of  bone  and  flesh  in  the  interest  of 
mankind.  It  is  almost  madness  to  calculate 
the  value  of  a  horse  at  the  ridiculously  low 
price  of  $2  when  it  is  considered  that  blooded 
thoroughbreds  rate  up  in  the  thousands,  but 
when  the  average  horse  degenerates  from  a 
spirited  animal  of  strength  and  speed  to  an  old 
jade  that  can  neither  trot  or  work,  unapprecia- 
tive  man,  as  a  rule,  has  no  further  use  for  it. 
But  the  Belvidere "  Mecca "  is  the  place 
where  all  the  earthly  troubles  of  old  and 
friendless  horses  are  quickly  brought  to  an 
end  and  their  carcasses  afterward  transformed 
into  a  variety  of  articles  of  utility  much  more 
valuable  than  the  animal  intact. 

The  concern  that  deals  in  old  horses  is  in 
the  business  of  producing  fertilizer  and  the 
more  horses  available  the  better  it  is  for  trade, 
for  this  is  ah  industry  that  has  always  pros- 
pered despite  hard  times  and  business  depres- 
sion. The  concern  stands  ready  to  purchase 
all  the  horses  that  can  be  procured.  The  price 
paid  is  $1.50  and  $2  per  head.  They  are 
worth  nothing  to  the  owners,  and  when  it  is 
considered  that  about  500  pounds  of  fertilizer 
is  procurable  from  each  animal  it  can  easily 
be  seen  that  a  good  margin  of  profit  is  made. 
If  the  supply  holds  out,  they  kill  on  an  aver- 
age three  horses  a  day  all  the  year  round  at 
these  works,  and  as  the  business  is  of  long 
standing  it  is  estimated  that  enough  horses 
have  been  disposed  of  to  supply  a  large  stand- 
ing army.  The  ages  of  these  infirm  brutes 
range  from  15  to  25  years,  and  their  condition 
depends  largely  upon  the  life  they  have  led. 
Many  of  the  animals  look  as  though  they 
hadn't  seen  oats  since  they  were  colts,  and 
others  are  spavined,  sprung  at  the  knees  and 
blind. 

The  manner  of  disposing  of  the  animals  is 
this:  When  led  from  the  pen,  the  horae  is  tied 
to  a  post  and  the  "  black  cap  "  placed  over  its 
head.  The  executioner  then  strikes  it  a  blow 
across  the  forehead  with  an  ax,  and  the  ani- 
mal falls  helpless  to  the  floor.  Its  throat  is 
then  cut,  and  life  vanishes.  This  done,  the 
process  of  dissection  and  separation  beginB. 
The  hide  is  first  removed  and  the  carcass 
boiled,  if  it  contains  any  fat.  The  grease  is 
carefully  gathered  together  by  skimming  and 
is  designated  as  '•  horse  oil."  The  lower  bones 
of  the  limbs  are  boiled,  and  the  fat  extracted 
from  them  is  called  neatsfoot  oil.  When  the 
flesh  of  the  carcass  has  been  thoroughly 
boiled  and  the  grease  skimmed  off  the  surface 
of  the  vat,  it  is  thrown  into  the  cellar  and  al- 
lowed to  remain  there  for  over  three  months, 
all  the  while  being  subjected  to  the  influence  of 
potash  and  gypsum,  which  is  mixed  with  it, 
and  which  rots  it. 

At  present  the  remains  of  fully  200  horses 
are  undergoing  the  jfertilizing  process.  The 
bones  pass  through  two  crushers,  the  first  of 
which  reduces  them,  and  the  second  grinds 
them  into  powder.  Several  chemical  ingredi- 
ents are  then  mixed  with  the  bone  dust.  This 
preparation  is  what  is  commonly  known  as 
bone  fertilizer  and  is  probably  the  best  artifi- 
cial commodity  used  in  agriculture.  The 
horse  hides  are  disposed  of  to  leather  manu- 
facturers and  bring  more  than  was  originally 
paid  for  the  entire  animal. 

But  not  horses  alone  are  used  in  the  pro- 
duction of  fertilizer.  A  great  many  cattle  go 
that  way,  too,  and,  as  for  bones,  those  of  any 
animal  are  valuable.  The  concern  at  Belvi- 
dere does  not  draw  the  line  on  live  animals. 
Dead  ones  will  do,  provided  they  are  not  too 
"old."  It  is  a  strange  coincidence  that  but 
very  few  cows  are  disposed  of  in  this  way,  and 
that  may  explain  where  much  of  the  tough 
beef  comes  from.  The  carcasses  of  cattle  go 
through  precisely  the  same  process  as  those  of 
horses,  but  their  horns,  being  too  hard,  cannot 
be  crushed,  and  in  consequence  are  disposed 
of  to  dealers,  who  convert  them  into  buttons 
and  combs. 

Several  qualities  of  fertilizer  are  produced 
from  animals,  it  all  depending  upon  the 
amount  and  quality  of  the  ingredients  used. 
Various  vegetables  and  cereals  require  fertil- 
izer of  a  certain  strength,  and  while  a  certain 
quality  will  produce  good  results  on  one  kind 
of  vegetables  it  will  destroy  another.  The 
price  per  ton  ranges  all  the  way  from  $20  to 
$35. 

The  product  of  this  one  plant  is  disposed  of 
direct  to  the  farmers,  and  about  1,000  tons 
are  sent  out  annually.  The  works  are  capa- 
ble of  turning  out  three  tons  per  day.  The 
present  executioner  of  horses  has  been  iden- 
tified with  the  works  ever  since  Ihey  were  es- 
tablished, about  fourteen  years  ago,  and  dur- 
ing that  time  it  is  estimated  that  he  has  put 
to  death  3,000  animals.— New  York  World. 

No  less  than  twelve  of  the  Eancho  del 
Paso  mares  were  this  year  bred  to  Islington, 
the  brother  of  Isinglass,  the  winner  of  the 
English  Derby.

Has  a  race  record  at  Columbia,  Term.,  of  2:09,  2:08  and  2:08J,  and  two  miles  at  Stockton, 
2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27  J,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake. 

His  produce  are  all  fast  as  a  bullet  and  stick  to  their  work  just  like  him.  He  was  a  sure 
race  horse  and  a  sure  money  winner.  If  you  want  to  breed  race  and  money  winners,  would 
it  not  be  well  to  get  the  extreme  speed  of  Direct  and  the  blood  of  that  old  four-miler,  Boston, 
to  carry  it  to  the  end  of  any  race  ?

DICTATUS 


23,306. 


THE  MOST  FASHIONABLY  BREO  YOUNG  STALLION  ON  THE  COAST. 

SIRED  BY  THE  GREAT  RED  WILKES  1749,  the  sire  of  88  standard  performers,  23  in  the  2:201fstand 
9  In  the  2:15  list;  dam  MISS  LOLLIE,  by  DICTATOR  113,  the  aire  of  Jay-Eye-See,  2:10  trotting,  2:  W'-j  pacing, 
Phallas,  2:13M>  Director,  2:17  (sire  of  Directum,  2:05(4-  aud  Direct,  2:05%,  pacing],  and  of  the  dam  of  the  world's 
champion  trotter,  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04,  and  42  others.  Second  dam.  Gold  Pen,  by  Mambrino  Abdallah  2201,  the 
sire  or  the  dams  of  May  Marshall,  2:08 '4,  Mary  Marshall,  2:12*,',  Lillian,  2:14',,  and  others.  Third  dam  by  Har- 
old 413,  the  sire  of  Maud  S.,  2:08^',  and  43  others,  grandsire  of  Kremlin,  2:07-V.  ftnd  Alls,  2:071]'.  Fourth  dam 
Emily  Chester,  by  Mambrino  Patchen  58,  sire  of  26  In  the  2:30  list,  the  dams  of  101  in  the  2:30  list,  and  41  produc- 
ing sons.  What  could  be  better  than  the  combination  of  Red  Wilkes,  the  greatest  living  sire  (havlngput41n  the 
2:15  list  last  season),  and  Dictator,  whose  sons  and  daughters  have  produced  the  world's  champions. 

Dictatus  was  bred  by  W.  C.  France,  of  Lexington,  Ky.,  foaled  March  26th,  1890.  He  is  level-headed,  hand- 
some,  has  the  best  of  dispositions,  and  in  color  is  a  chestnut;  star  in  forehead,  right  bind  pastern  white,  15'-i 
hands  high.  In  conformation  he  is  perfect,  with  an  iron  constitution,  and  the  bfst  of  feet  and  legs.  He  traces 
four  times  to  Hambletonian  10,  through  those  great  sires,  George  Wilkes  517,  Dictator  113,  Harold  413,and 
Abdallah  15;  twice  to  the  greatest  broodmare  sire,  Mambrino  Patchen  58,  three  times  to  Mambrino  Chief  11  and 
twenty-six  times  to  Imp.  Messenger.  His  blood  lines  are  not  surpassed  by  those  of  any  other  stallion  In 
America.  He  has  shown  extreme  speed,  and  is  the  making  of  a  great  race  horse,  and,  barring  accidents,  will 
certainly  get  a  fast  record  this  year. 

DICTATUS  wlil  make  the  Beason  of  1894,  commencing  February  1st  and  ending  June  1st, 
at  the  above  named  farm,  at 

$100    FOR    THE   SEASON. 

Careful  attention  will  be  given  to  all  mares  sent  to  the  farm,  and  good  pasturage  will  be  furnished  at  |5  per

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  in  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plana  aud  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaillng,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  ami  breeding  (rotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St.Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "  In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  It  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bin  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  aud  shall 
place  one  In  the  baudsol  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

FOURTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  JUNE  1. 

BETTER  day's  sport  was  never 
given  in  San  Francisco  than  this 
afternoon's.  There  were  two  finishes 
where  the  winner  won  by  less  than 
five  inches  in  each  case,  and  a  dead 
heat  in  the  mile  handicap  between 
Gilead  and  Sir  Keel.  In  the  two- 
year-old  handicap,  five  and  one-half 
furlongs,  there  was  not  one  length 
between  first  and  fourth  horses. 
The  track  was  in  good  shape,  the 
ilds  of  good  size  in  four  of  the  events  and  the  attendance 
•eatly  increased  over  that  of  the  preceding  day.  The  start- 
ig  was  still  of  the  best,  and  interest  in  the  meeting  is  daily 
I  icreasing. 
Nellie  Van  and  Twang  ran  head-and- head  up  to  the  last 
venty  yards,  where  old  Bronco  got  up  and  won  easily,  with 
ellie  Van  in  the  place  and  Esperance,  the  favorite,  third. 
Malo  Diablo,  the  outsider  in  the  five  furlong  handicap,  won 
'  a  head  from  the  great  favorite,  Model,  with  Monterey 
:  ilf  a  leDgth  further  away,  a  short  head  from  Sea  Spray. 
Gilead  led  in  the  mile  handicap  until  well  down  the  home- 
retch,  where  he  was  joined  by  Sir  Reel,  who  hung  on  like  a 
ill  dog  and  made  a  dead  heat  of  it,  with  Lovdal  (who 
■erved  badly  in  the  straight)  a  little  over  a  length  away. 
Hal  Fisher  won  the  five-furlong  selling  race  handily, 
ter  indulging  Durango  with  the  lead  until  about  a  six- 
anth  from  home.  North  came  strong  at  the  finish  and 
t  the  place,  a  trifle  over  a  length  separating  him  from 
athleen,  whojust  beat  Mustesa  for  the  show. 
The  last  race  was  another  case  of  gum-swallowing,  Pere- 
l  just  lasting  long  enough  to  beat  the  fast-coming  Hunts- 
in  a  nose.  Bronco,  coming  like  a  shot  on  the  outside, 
U  got  the  show  an  eyebrow  in  front  of  Gold  Dust.

half.  At  the  final  turn  Malo  Diablo  was  perhaps  half  a 
length  to  the  good,  Model  and  Monterey  nose  and  nose,  one 
and  one-half  lengths  from  Seaside.  They  were  all  close  to- 
gether coming  down  the  homestretch, Malo  Diablo  and  Model 
side  by  side  in  the  center  of  the  track.so  close  that  King  conld 
not  use  his  whip  atall.  Like  a  platoon  of  cavalry  they  came 
along,  and  amid  great  excitement  Malo  Diablo  won  by  a  short 
neck,  Model  second,  half  a  length  from  Monterey,  who  beat 
Sea  Spray  a  nose  for  the  show.     Time,  1:09 J,

his  heels,  heading  a  close  lot  behind.  There  was  a  bunch- 
ing up  to  the  last  furlong,  then  Sir  Reel  began  closing  up 
like  a  bull-dog,  and  amid  the  greatest  excitement  finished  in 
a  dead  heat  with  Gilead,  Lovdal,  who  had  swerved  badly  in

more  in  the  next  quarter  and  well  into  the  homestretch, 
looking  a  likely  winner,  A  furlong  from  home  Fisher  came 
for  him,  anda  sixteenth  from  the  end  had  Orville  Apple-

Viceroy  10,  Gold  Dust  15  to  1.  Peregal,  Huntsman,  Bronco,

Peregal  was  a  length  to  the  good,  Huntsman  second,  three 
parts  of  a  leogth  from  Viceroy,  who  was  as  from  Gold  Dust. 
Charger  ran  very  fast  going  around  the  last  turn,  and  led  as 


they  straightened  out  by  nearly  a  length,  Peregal  second, 
over  a  length  from  Huntsman.  Charger  went  to  pieces  in 
the  straight,  and  Peregal  drew  away  three  or  four  lengths. 
In  the  last  sixty  yards  Pinkney  was  sending  Huntsman  along, 
and  she  was  gaining  very  fast  as  Peregal  shot  in  a  winner  by 
less  than  two  inches,  Bronco  third,  two  lengths  behind 
Huntsman,  and  a  nose  from  Gold  Dust.    Time,  1:16}. 

FIFTH  DAY — SATURDAY,  JUNE  2. 

Six  good  races  were  pulled  off  this  afternoon  by  thre  favor- 
ites, a  second,  a  third  choice  and  a  long  shot.  The  attendance 
was  doubtless  affected  considerably  by  the  primary  elections 
being  held  throughout  the  city,  still  there  must  have  been  abou  t 
1,800  lovers  of  racing  on  hand.  The  track  had  been  made  slow 
by  the  daily  rains  that  have  so  strangely  prevailed.  Such 
weather  at  this  season  of  the  year  was  never  recalled  by  even 
the  oldest  inhabitant.  The  second  event  on  the  card,  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  handicap,  was  one  of  the  best 
betting  affairs  for  a  four-horse  race  seen  in  many  a  day  in 
San  Francisco,  and  as  the  longest  shot  in  the  race  won,  it 
shows  how  utterly  at  sea  the  talent  was.  The  closing  odda 
were :  2  to  1  Model,  11  to  5  Royal  Flush,  12  to  5  Romair,  4 
to  1  Melanie.  Every  horse  was  well  played,  and  there  wai 
at  the  finish  but  a  trifle  over  a  length  between  first  and  fourth. 
The  winners  were  ridden  by  E.  Jones,  Coombs,  Tuberville, 
McAuliffe  and  Peters,  the  first-named  piloting  two  of  the 
flyers  to  victory.  There  were  no  fouls  or  other  disagreeable 
features  to  spoil  the  day's  sport,  though  Alto  Mio  came  with- 
in an  ace  of  getting  fouled  in  the  homestretch.  Starter  Brown 
kept  up  bis  good  work  with  the  flag,  getting  considerable  ap- 
plause over  the  send-off  in  the  last  race  of  the  day  at  a  mile 
The  new  racing  association  has  had  a  fairly  successful  open- 
ing week  in  a  financial  way,  and  the  racing  has  been  emi- 
nently satisfactory  to  the  public.  Next  week  even  better  re- 
sults are  promised  in  every  respect,  as  everything  is  in  good 
order. 

Tillie  S.  led  all  the  way  in  the  first  race,  and  won  handily 
by  over  a  length  from  Mustesa.     Morven  was  a  good  third. 

Melanie  won  the  handicap  very  cleverly  by  about  three 
parts  of  a  length,  with  Romair  second,  just  lapped  by  Model, 
who  beat  Royal  Flush  a  nose  for  the  show. 

Charley  Quick  led  all  the  way  in  the  two-year-old  race, 
but  had  to  be  driven  out  hard  to  beat  Kitty  L.  a  neck,  El  Ti- 
rano a  fair  third. 

Flirtilla,  the  favorite,  after  a  drive  the  last  sixteenth  of  a 
mile,  won  by  a  short  neck  from  Alto  Mio,  with  Roanoke 
third. 

Nellie  Van  was  not  headed  in  her  race,  and  won  by  about 
a  length  from  Niagara,  who  came  up  from  fourth  place  in  the 
homestretch.  Polaski  got  the  show,  going  not  very  strong  at 
the  close. 

Auteuil  was  an  easy  winner  in  the  sixth  and  last  race  of 
the  day,  waiting  on  De  la  Guerra  for  over  six  furlongs,  then 
coming  on  and  putting  five  lengths  of  daylight  between  him- 
self and  De  la  Guerra,  who  lasted  long  enough  to  beat  Men- 
docino about  a  length  for  the  place.

The  Breeder  and  Sportsman  handicap,  six  furlongs,  was  a 
great  betting  affair.  Royal  Flush  opened  a  favorite  at  8  to  5, 
closed  at  11  to  ■">.  Model  closed  a  favorite  at  2  to  1,  opening 
at  the  same  figure.  Romair  was  at  12  to  5,  Melanie  4  lol.  To 
a  dead -even  start  Model  went  to  the  front  without  delay,  and 
at  the  half-pole  had  opened  up  a  gap  of  two  and  a  half 
lengths  on  Romair,  who  was  a  length  in  front  of  Royal 
Flush  and  Melanie,  head-aud-head.  Model's  lead  was  cut 
down  a  trifle  as  the  homestretch  was  entered,  while  Romair, 
Melanie  and  Royal  Flush  were  necks  apart  as  named.  Down 
the  stretch  ran  the  quartet  abreast.  About  seventy  yards 
from  the  6nish  Melanie  showed  in  front,  and  with  all  driv- 
ing hard  the  Shields  mare  won  by  three  parts  of  a  length,

length  at  the  half  and  a  bead  into  the  homestretch,  Roanoke 
third  all  the  time,  a  little  over  a  length  away.  Flirtilla  and 
Alto  Mio,  close  to  the  rails,  drove  it  out  to  the  end,  Flirtilla 
winning  by  a  short  neck,  with  Roanoke  third,  one  and  one-

Niagara  was  a  well-supported  first  choice  at  6  to  5.  Polaski 
was  at  2  to  1,  Nellie  Van  3,  Lady  R.  12,  Chiquito  15  and 
Hoi  lister  Dennis  20  to  1.  The  start  was  a  fine  one.  Nellie 
Van  at  once  forged  over  a  length  to  the  front,  with  Polaski 
her  closest  attendant,  he  closely  pressed  by  Chiquito.  This 
was  the  way  they  ran  past  the  half  and  into  the  homestretch. 
Niagara  was  fourth.  In  the  straight  the  latter  steadily  gained, 
and  a  sixteenth  from  home  it  looked  as  if  be  and  Polaski 
would  catch  Nellie.  Here  McAulifle  commenced  riding  the 
latter,  aod  she  came  away  gamely,  and  though  Niagara  ran  a 
good  race  he  was  only  able  to  get  the  place,  a  length  behind 
Nellie  Van.  Polaski,  tiring  at  the  end,  was  just  lapped  on 
Niagara.     Chiquito  was  fourth.    Time,  1:04— a  good  run.

sixth  PAY — TUESDAY,  MAT  5. 
Large  6eldg  of  goal   horses  delighted    a  fair  assemblage 
to-day  at  Bay  District  track.  Three  favorites,  a  second  choice 
and  one  long  shot  captured  the   five  events,  which   in  three 


instances  were  closely  contested.  The  track  was  in  fine  shape, 
and  toward  the  close  of  the  day  it  was  fast.  Six  and  one-half 
furlongs  were  run  in  1:21  ^  and  four  and  one-half  in  0:55J,  the 
latter  distance  done  with  120  pounds  up.  McAulifle,  Madi- 
son, Coombs,  H.  Smith  and  Spence  rode  the  winners.  The 
two  handicaps  were  great  betting  affairs,  the  favorite  win- 
ning in  the  first,  second  choice  in  the  other.  The  only  real 
surprise  of  the  afternoon  was  the  win  of  Prince  at  odds  of  S 
to  1. 

Prince  led  all  the  way,  and  won  handily  by  about  a  length, 
with  Zamloch,  a  new-comer,  in  the  place,  over  a  length  in 
front  of  Ledalia.  Polasky,  the  choice  of  the  talent,  was 
fourth  at  the  finish. 

Mainstay  won  the  two-year-old  event,  four  and  one-half 
furlongs,  by  the  smallest  of  margins,  and  had  not  Niagara 
swerved  badly  victory  would  have  perched  on  Dick  Ledgett's 
banner  beyond  all  doubt.  Washoe  just  beat  Arno  for  the 
show  by  a  wee  margin. 

Monterey  led  in  the  six  and  one-half  furlong  handicap  up 
to  the  final  eighty  yards,  where  Lovdal  came  with  a  wet  sail 
and  won  a  fast  race  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Rear  Guard 
coming  strong  at  the  finish  and  getting  the  place,  half  a 
length  in  front  of  Monterey,  Zobair  fourth. 

King  Sam  led  in  the  mile  selling  event  until  well  in  the 
homestretch,  then  Bobolink  came  through  and  won  with 
great  ease  by  two  lengths,  King  Sam  second,  one  and  a  half 
lengths  from  Huntsman. 

Lottie  D.  and  Rey  Alfonso  ran  close  together  until  reach- 
ing the  final  turn,  then  the  black  mare  came  away  and  won 
with  Spence  sitting  still  by  two  lengths,  Hal  Fisher  coming 
like  a  shot  and  getting  the  place,  a  neck  in  front  of  Rey  Al- 
fonso, who  beat  Norlee  a  head  for  the  show.

length  to  the  good,  Polasky  second,  a  head  from  Red  Wing, 
Zamloch  moving  up  fast  and  looking  decidedly  dan- 
gerous. Red  Wing  fell  back  beaten  in  the  homestretch,  and

lasted  well  enough  to  win  by  three  parts  of  a  length,  Zam-

Mainstay  was  a  slight  favorite  in  the  two-year-old  race,  his 
price  being  2  to  1.  Washoe  was  at  2h  and  Capt.  Coster  the 
same.  Niagara  was  at  5,  Arno  8,  the  others  from  10  to  25  to 
1.  The  start,  while  not  bad  by  any  means,  was  the  poorest 
Brown  has  yet  made.  Niagara  was  off  in  front,  Mainstay 
second,  Sport  McAllister  third.  Capt.  Coster  was  pulled  up, 
his  jockey  perhaps  thinking  it  no  start.  Niagara  was  a 
length  in  front  of  Mainstay  at  the  half  and  only  a  head  into 
the  homestretch,  Sport  McAllister  next  and  Washoe  a  couple 
of  lengths  off,  with  Captain  Coster  close  upon  him.  Mainstay 
soon  passed  to  the  front,  and  appeared  to  be  winning  handily 
at  the  final  sixteenth,  where  Niagara  was  in  a  pocket.  He 
got  through  a  very  narrow  aperture,bumping  Sport  McAllis- 
ter in  doing  so,  then  careened  toward  the  outside,  bumping 
Arno,  who  was  in  the  center  of  the  course.  Getting  straight- 
ened finally,  he  came  with  a  great  burst  of  speed,  just  failing 
to  get  up  by  the  narrowest  of  margins,  Mainstay  winning. 
Niagara,  second,  was  two  lengths  in  front  of  Washoe,  Arno 
and  Sport  McAllister,  who  finished  very  close  together  in  the 
order  named, as  far  as  the  official  placing  the  third  and  fourth 
horses  could  make  out.     The  time  was  0:57.

sent  a  merry  pace,  and  was  attended  closest  by  Banjo  past  the 
half,  where  the  field  was  strung  out  like  a  procession.  Mon- 
terey still  had  charge  of  affairs  as  they  swuug  into  the  home-

Santa  Barbara  Track  Notes.

J.  L.  Shuman's  mare  worked  out  a  mile  in  2:46  the 
day  with  apparent  ease. 

Mr.  Fox  of  the  Zaca  ranch  was  over  during  the  week  and 
was  well  pleased  with  the  way  the  horses  are  being  handled 

Cbas.  Vanina  was  over  to  the  Zaca  ranch  a  few  days  ago 
and  brought  back  with  him  aoother  promising  young  runner 
to  train.  He  is  the  three-year  old  they  call  "  Fair  Lawn  "  by 
Birdcatcher,  dam  by  Wildidle. 

The  horses  would  be  showing  more  speed  now  than  they  do 
if  the  track  was  in  good  order,  but  it  is  beaten  down  so  hard 
that  even  after  the  rain  an  ordinary  harrow  will  have  no  effect 
on  it.  Messrs.  Vanina,  Lierly  and  others  were  working  on  it 
during  the  week  but  accomplished  but  little. 

The  already  renowned  three-year-old  Ali  Baba,  owned  by 
Johnny  Price  Sr.,  of  Pismo,  is  also  here  in  r.  Vanina's 
hands  for  training  and  for  the  fall  races.  It  will  be  remem- 
bered that  he  won  several  victories  last  year  and  but  for  get- 
ting hurt  he  would  have  returned  from  the  north  with  a  bag 
full  of  gold.    He  is  by  Joe  Daniels,  dam  Test. 

About  the  only  way  to  put  the  track  in  condition  again  is 
to  take  four  good  horses  and  a  sharp-weighted  harrow  and 
then  go  over  it  persistently  until  the  crust  is  cut  through. 
This  can  be  done  if  undertaken  at  once,  but  if  delayed  an- 
other week  it  will  be  impossible.  Mr.  Vanina  says  if  the 
necessary  team  and  harrow  is  furnished  he  will  furnish  the 
man  and  do  the  work,  putting  the  track  in  first-class  coodi- 
tion,  and  unless  this  is  done  he  will  be  obliged  to  move  out 
and  go  where  he  will  not  have  to  take  such  chances  on  crip- 
pling his  horses. 

Mr.  Vanina  is  a  genuine  horseman  in  every  sense  of  the 
term  and  will  give  the  Santa  Maria  track,  and  some  of  om 
horses,  a  record  they  will  not  be  ashamed  of,  if  the  Park  As- 
sociation will  stand  by  him,  but  he  cannot  afford  to  take  any 
desperate  chances,  after  spending  the  time  and  money  thai 
he  has  in  preparing  his  horses  for  the  coming  fall  campaign. 
He  does  his  speeding  out  in  the  lane  now,  and  only  remain! 
at  the  track  in  the  hope  that  the  thing  will  take  a  turn  foi 
the  better  at  once. — Santa  Maria  Times. 


Dying  -with  G-landers. 


ml) 


I* 


Lying  upon  an  isolated  cot  in  the  pesthouse  of  the  coum 
hospital    a  man   named  McMillan   is  slowly  dying  of  tht 
glanders.    He  is  a  pitiable  sight  to  gaze  upon.     Covered  will) 
abscesses,  he  lies  writhing  in  all  the  agonies  of  death.    Physi 
cians  yesterday  pronounced  his  case  hopeless,  and  ere  anothei    iita 
week  he  will  be  dead. 

Last  Saturday  afternoon  E.  Bowman  reported  to  Dr.  Row 
land,  county  veterinary  surgeon,  that  a  horse  at  East  Jeffer- 
son street  and  Central  avenue  was  infected  with  glanders.  Dr. 
Rowland  went  to  the  place  and  had  the  animal  killed. 

To  his  surprise  he  found  Mr.  McMillan  ill  with  glanders 
Upon  investigation  it  was  found  that  McMillan  had  been  tak 
ing  care  of  the  horses  and  had  been  infected  by  an  abrasioi 
on  the  forehead.  The  disease  had  not  had  time  to  develop 
fully,  but  the  man's  condition  became  worse  yesterday  and  hii 
life  is  despaired  of. 

Upon  instructions  from  Dr.  Rowlands,  McMillan  was  seal 
to  the  county  hospital  yesterday  afternoon.  His  conditioc 
was  terrible  to  behold.  The  symptoms  of  the  disease  manl 
fest  themselves  in  man  as  in  horses. 

Dr.  Dorsey,  of  Vernon,  who  examined  McMillan's 
was  of  the  opinion  that  it  was  notglanders,  but  it  was  op. 
by  both  Dr.  Rowland  and  Dr.  Hagan,  superintendent  of  tb" 
county   hospital.     Dr.  Hagan  thought   last  night  that  M< 
Millan's  case  was  hopeless,  and  that  he  could   not  live  m( 
than  a  week  or  two  at  most.     The  man   had  to   be  careful 
carried  from  the  ambulance  to  his  lonely  deathbed  in  the  pest 
house;  his  condition  was  such  that  he  could   not  even  speal 
his  name. — Los  Angeles  Herald.

An  TJfifly  Brawl. 


Colonel  Jack  China,  who  has  jast  returned  from  San  Frau-  | 
eisco,  where  he  was  a  prominent  figure  at  the  Bay  District 
track ;  Tom  Mulqueen,  the  Denver  gambler,  and  Xed  Hayes, 
a  monte  thrower,  met  in  a  triangular  brawl  Saturday  night, 
in  which  guns  and  dirks  figured,  says  a  dispatch  from  Chicago, 
Jane  3. 

That  theie  was  no  murder  committed  is  due  in  great  part 
to  the  scene  of  combat,  Chapin  &  Gore's  place  on-  Monroe 
street,  which  at  the  time  of  the  row  was  filled  with  the  sport- 
ing friends  of  all  three  of  the  belligerents,  and  their  prompt 
interference  alone  stayed  the  flow  of  blood  for  the  time.  That 
the  end  is  not  yet,  and  that  before  the  suspension  of  hostilities 
one  of  the  three  will  bite  the  dust,  is  conceded  by  the  men 
who  know  the  character  of  the  combatants. 

Ten  years  ago  Xed  Hayes  was  operating  in  St.  Paul  under 
the  protection  of  a  well-known  police  official.  The  profits 
of  the  Hayes  crowd  of  monte  men  were  something  euormous. 
It  is  said  that  in  the  eighteen  months  of  their  monopoly  in 
St.  Paul  they  made  away  with  over  $200,000. 

Colonel  C-hinn  was  gambliag  there  at  the  time,  and,  it  is 
charged,  looked  with  covetous  eyes  on  the  harvest  Hayes  was 
reaping.  Hayes  claimed  Chinn  had  endeavored  to  set  the 
police  against  him,  and  a  passage-at-arms.  in  which  neither 
man  was  hart,  followed.  Shortly  after  a  reform  in  local 
affairs  set  in,  and  Chinn,  Hayes  and  the  rest  of  the  sporting 
fraternity  had  to  flee  the  city  and  state. 

Ten  years  elapsed,and  last  week  Chinn  returned  to  Chicago 
from  San  Francisco.  Hayes  got  into  town  a  few  days  after. 
Neither  had  seen  tbe  other  in  a  decade.  Chinn  dropped  into 
Chapin  &  Gore's  on  Saturday  night.  With  their  backs  toward 
the  Kentucky  killer,  Tom  Mulqueen  and  Ned  Hayes  were 
'  engaged  in  a  heated  discussion  about  Denver  affairs. 

Chinn,  as  soon  as  he  espied  Hayes,  made  for  him.  As  he 
I  reached  his  side,  the  discussion  between  Mulqueen  and  Hayes 
i  had  warmed  up  to  such  a  pitch  that  the  He  was  passed  by 
i   Hayes  to  the  man  from  Denver.    Colonel  Chinn  heard  it. 

"Kill  the  rat,  Tom ! "  the  Kentuckian  shouted,  drawing  a 
muderous  forty-four  caliber  weapon  from  his  pocket  and 
passing  it  to  Mulqueen  over  the  bar.  The  latter  grabbed  for 
the  firearm  and  drew  back  to  let  it  go,  but  a  dozen  arms  were 
about  him  and  the  gun  was  wrested  from  his  grasp. 

A  dozen  more  took  hold  of  Hayes  and  dragged  him  out  of 
the  saloon,  while  a  number  of  Chinn's  friends  forced  him  in- 
to a  corner,  where  he  was  held  pinioned  till  Hayes  was  got- 
ten out  of  the  way. 

Hayes1  wrath  know  no  bounds,  and  while  being  dragged 
out  of  the  place  he  vowed  that  he  would  even  matters  with 
Chinn.  His  friends  took  Hayes  to  the  Palmer  House,  but  he 
escaped  and  returned  with  a  big  dirk.  Where  he  got  it  no 
one  knows,  but  at  10  o'clock  he  ran  back  into  Chapin  & 
Gore's.  Colonel  Chinn  was  still  standing  at  the  bar,  sur- 
rounded by  a  crowd  of  his  friends,  and  Hayes  made  straight 
at  him,  but  was  intercepted  when  within  ffve  feet.  Cbinn 
saw  the  knife  and  immediately  went  for  his  weapon.  They 
struggled  fiercely  to  free  themselves,  but  the  combined 
strength  of  their  captors  was  too  overpowering.  To-day 
Hayes  again  freed  himself,  and  armed  to  the  teeth  was  scour- 
ing the  town  for  his  man. 

Of  the  belligerents,  Chinn  is  probably  the  more  famous  of 
the  trio-  He  is  known  from  coast  to  coast  and  has  been  in 
more  brawls  than  any  gambler  since  John  Morrissey's  time. 

When  ex-Congressman  Phil  Thompson  started  out  to  bill 
the  man  who  had  run  away  with  his  wife  he  sent  for  Jack 
Chinn,  and  Chinn  came.  In  this  quarrel,  the  Colonel  tried 
to  prevent  a  killing,  but  when  he  saw  it  was  inevitable  he 
stepped  from  between  the  two  men  and  a  second  later  there 
wrsonly  one  of  them  living. 

A  few  years  ago  Colonel  Chinn  cat  Jack  Dowling,  and  after 
that  the  men  met  on  the  boulevard  coming  from  the  Derby 
at  Washington  Park.  Each  was  in  a  carriage,  and  Dowling 
offered  hostilities  with  a  pistol.  No  damage  was  done,  and 
tbe  trouble  was  fixed  up  by  friends  without  bloodshed. 

The  last  quarrel  that  Colonel  Chinn  was  in,  barring  his 
trouble  in  a  San  Francisco  hotel  last  winter,  was  when  he 
started  out  for  the  Chief  of  Police  of  East  St.  Louis.  This 
man  drew  a  44-calibre  revolver  and  fired  it  in  Chinn's  face, 
the  pistol  being  so  close  it  blew  his  face  fall  of  powder.  The 
ballet  struct  Chinn's  front  teeth,  glanced  around  following 
the  line  of  teeth,  and  went  out  through  the  side  of  his  neck 
It  was  a  marvelous  escape,  and  the  man  who  shot  him  fell 
into  a  cellar  and  broke  his  neck  before  the  Colonel  got  around 
to  attend  to  him.

|  The  old  rickety  grand  stand  that  formerly  failed  to  orna- 
nent  the  grounds,  is  no  more  ;  but  instead,  there  has  been 
jrected  a  new  one,  the  finest  in  the  State,  with  a  seating  capa- 
:ity  of  2,500  to  3,000  persons.  But  that  is  not  all.  The  old 
;rand  stand  has  been  divided  into  two  sections,  one  to  be 
ised  for  the  exhibition  of  agricultural  implements  and  the 
•ther  for  the  betting  ring.  With  the  club  house  and  pavilion 
he  park  now  has  some  fine  structures,  and  on  the  whole  it 
i as  been  eo  improved  that  one  who  has  not  visited  the  place 
f  late  would  scarcely  recognize  his  surroundings. 
'  Speaking  of  the  horses,  they  are  the  finest  lot  of  animals 
hat  has  ever  been  quartered  at  the  park.  At  Mr.  Darfee's 
table  there  stands  in  one  of  the  stalls  the  bay  stallion  Gossiper, 
ii!4j.  Earring  accidents,  he  gives  good  promise  of  being  the 
astest  free-for-all  in  the  stable  this  season.  Saturday  this 
j  ame  horse  trotted  a  half  in  1:051,  which  is  very  fast  for  the 
tort  work  he  has  had.  and  gives  the  talent  reason  for 
eriously  asking :  What  will  he  do  when  he  is  ready  for  the 
■  aces? 

[  Next  to  Gossiper  stood  the  great  horse  McKinney,  2:11, 
Ktkiog  as  fine  as  silk.  It  is  not  probable  that  Mr.  Durfee 
'  ill  race  this  horse  this  season,  owing  to  the  fact  that  he  has 
5  many  youngsters  to  drive. 

|  Besides  McKinney  and  Gossiper,  Mr.  Durfee  has  McZeus, 
VTarspite,  Etta  Wilkes,  Nora  D.,  Leonor,  Gazelle,  Harvey 
\  Ic,  Ola,  Monte  and  Osito. 

Going  10  Mr.  Sanford's  stable  the  first  to  attract  attention 
U Nellie  I.,  2:15.  She  is  a  fine  looking  mare  and  should 
abe  a  good  showing  this  year.  At  the  next  stable  is  Joe 
ennell,  better  known  on  the  turf  as  English  Joe.  He  has 
ro  promising  horses — Andy,  2:20A,  and  Fargo,  a  three-year- 
d,  which  has  shown  quarters  in  0:36. 


Just  beyond  is  old  Charlie  McDonald,  with  his  fine  two- 
year-old  rnnner,  Hueneme,  by  Sid,  dam  Dottie  Dimple.  This

and  this  competent  horseman  promises  that  his  animals  will 
be  heard  from  this  season.  In  his  string  are  Lompoc,  2:2i\  ;

Hickok's  String-  at  Terre  Haute. 

The  stable  of  Orrin  Hickok  arrived  at  tue  Terre  Haute 
track  May  27th.  via  Vandalia  Line  from  Pleasanton,  Cal. 
The  car  left  Pleasanton  Saturday  last,  and  a  stop  off  of  two 
days  was  made  at  Council  Bluffs.  The  horses  arrived  in  good 
shape,  very  little  the  worse  for  the  long  trip.  Among  the 
horses  were :  The  king  of  all  stallions,  Directum,  2:05},  "the 
little  black  rascal  "  whose  covetous  eye  is  on  the  2:04  mark 
of  Nancy  Hanks.  The  "gamecock"  of  the  turf  is  in  splen- 
did shape  and  does  not  bear  any  trace  of  the  numerous  ac- 
cidents the  press  of  the  country  have  had  him  going  through. 
He  as  yet  has  had  no  fast  work  bat  will  rapidly  get  into 
shape  over  the  glorious  ''  four  cornered  "  track.  Silicon. 
2:15^,  as  a  two-year-old,  the  high-class  racing  daughter  of 
Wilton,  is  in  the  string  and  will  be  especially  prepared  for 
her  engagement  in  the  Terre  Haute  great  four-year-old  purse. 
Prince  Era,  by  Dexter  Prince,  a  green  horse,  is  the  third 
member  of  the  string.  The  word  from  California  is  that 
"  he  will  do."  As  a  rule  pools  can  be  sold  on  the  proposition 
that  any  horse  "will  do"  that  the  Talleyrand  of  the  Turf 
thinks  enough  of  to  pay  freight  on  from  California.  While 
they  will  all  be  fooled  once  in  a  while,  he  gets  it  as  seldom 
as  the  next  one.  The  great  mare  Hulda  was  left  behind  as 
it  was  thought  best  to  give  her  a  year's  lay  up. 

In  addition  are  Willowwood,  by  Wilton,  dam  Ulva,  2:27$, 
by  Wedgewood,  a  filly  b^"  Wilton,  dam  by  Alcantara  and 
Caracus,  2:20,  the  Orloff  trotter.  Mr.  Hickok  says  that 
Caracus  has  not  been  in  good  condition  since  comiag  into 
his  hands.  His  blood  has  been  out  of  order  and  he  has  not 
done  well,  and  as  yet  he  is  unable  to  judge  of  the  merits  of 
the  stallion.  He  is  a  very  large  fellow  and  can  not  be  called 
handsome;  is  what  would  be  called  plain-  Mr.  Hickok 
said  hiB  trip  was  the  best  one  he  had  ever  made  and  that  the 
horses  stood  the  journey  better  than  any  lot  he  ever  brought 
through.  The  Talleyrand  of  the  Turf  is  iu  splendid  health 
and  has  undoubtedly  discovered  the  location  of  the  fouctain 
of  health. — Terre  Haute  Express,  May  2Sth. 


The  Dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk. 


The  "Woodland  Meeting. 


The  Directors  of  the  Fortieth  Agricultural  District  held  a 
lively  meeting  Monday  afternoon. 

The  action  of  the  Board  last  week  in  agreeing  to  replace  a 
$400  appropriation  which  had  been  made  by  the  Colusa 
County  Supervisors,  and  expended  in  repairing  the  Colusa 
track  on  consideration  of  Woodland's  taking  the  fair  this 
year,  was  what  added  ginger  to  the  meeting. 

According  to  the  action  of  last  week,  this  money  is  to  be 
paid  to  the  Colusa  Supervisors  on  or  before  the  first  Monday 
in  June.  Colusa  also  has  an  option  on  next  year's  fair  if  she 
notifies  the  Directors  of  this  county  by  the  first  of  February. 

There  was  a  full  board  present,  and  some  who  were  not  on 
hand  at  the  previous  meeting,  were  not  slow  to  express  the 
opinion  that  Colusa  was  getting  tbe  big  end  of  the  bargain. 

It  was  decided  after  much  debate  to  adhere  to  the  original 
agreement  to  pay  to  the  Colusa  Supervisors  the  $400  on  or 
before  the  time  specified,  but  to  notify  the  Directors  of  that 
county  that  Woodland  in  no  degree  waive  her  right  to  hold 
the  fair  here  next  year,  and  the  Secretary  was  instructed  to  ss 
advise  the  Colnsa  Directors. 

The  Yolo  Directors  feel  that  they  have  made  arrangements 
which  will  insure  for  Woodland  a  successful  racing  meeting 
this  fall  without  tbe  aid  of  the  $2,500  premium  monev  which 
would  accrue  through  holding  the  fair  here. 

Next  years  fair  will  belong  to  Woodland  anyway  and  the 
Directors  feel  that  it  would  not  be  wise  to  take  any  steps 
which  for  a  present  questionable  advantage  w^uld  put  in 
jeopardy  next  year's  prospect. — Mail. 

A  Meeting  Under  Consideration. 

Meeting  called  to  order  at  1  p.  M.,  President  Shelton  pre- 
siding. Present,  Directors  Merrill,  Troxol,  Miller,  Mooney, 
Murdock  and  Prentiss. 

Director  Mooney,  as  chairman  of  the  committee  appointed 
at  a  former  meeting  to  canvass  for  subscriptions  for  races,  re- 
ported not  sufficient  subscriptions  guaranteed  to  make  report. 
j  Committee  discharged. 

Director  Murdoch,  of  Orland,  made  a  proposition  that  in- 
asmuch as  the  people  of  Willows  and  vicinity  did  not  desire 
the  annual  fair  of  this  association  this  year,  that  tbe  fair 
(without  race  meeting)  be  held  in  tbe  town  of  Orland,  and  as 
their  representative  pledged  an  amount  not  less  than  $400  for 
the  fair. 

Col.  Hochheimer  and  Col.  Crawford  appeared  before  the 
Board  and  asked  for  an  adjournment  until  3  p.  m.  for  pur- 
pose of  seeing  what  could  be  done  in  the  matter. 

The  Board  then  adjourned  until  3  p.  M.  Upon  reconven- 
ing Col.  Crawford,  on  behalf  of  Hochheimer  and  others, 
pledged  the  sum  of  $800,  with  a  possibility  of  making  it 
$1,000.  After  discussing  the  matter  the  Directors  decided  to 
lay  both  propositions  over  for  one  week  and  at  that  lime  to 
accept  the  best  financial  proposition  offered.  It  behooves  our 
people  to  wake  up.  Director  Murdoch  says  that  his  people 
will  make  the  fight  for  the  fair,  and  will  be  prepared  to  offer  a 
larger  bonus  than  he  ioclnded  in  his  proposition.  Surely  if 
Orland  can  offer  $400  or  $600  for  the  fair  alone  our  people 
can  make  it  $1,000  for  the  fair  and  five  days'  racing  thrown 
in. — Willows  Journal. 


It  is  not  impossible  that  the  dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk 
was  by  the  horse  Cannon  Ball,  as  suggested  by  Mr.  Taylor  in 
the  following  communication  to  the  American  Horse  Breeder: 

"  I  have  been  a  constant  reader  of  yoar  valuable  paper  for  about 
three  years,  and  have  read  with  pleasure  tbe  discussion  of  the  breed- 
ing of  some  of  the  old-time  horses,  especially  that  of  Vermont  Black 
Hawk  I  noticed  in  a  recent  issue  that  there  is  still  question  about 
the  breeding  of  bis  dam.  Now  I  have  always  been  of  the  opinion 
that  she  must  have  been  a  daughter  of  a  horse  that  was  imported 
from  England  in  1S26,  called  Cannon  Ball.  He  was  a  thoroughbred, 
imported  by  the  Government  of  New  Brunswick,  and  he  stood  in 
that  province  for  stock  purposes  for  two  years  when  he  was  taken  to 
Nova  Scotia,  and  I  think  the  year  following  be,  with  some  more 
valnable  stock,  was  burned. 

By  the  description  yon  give  of  her,  the  color  and  her  appearance, it 
leads  me  to  think  she  most  certainly  be  by  Cannon  BalL  He  was  a 
black  horse,  with  a  few  gray  hairs  mixed  through  his  coat.  His  stock 
never  were  distinguished  as  runners,  but  as  roadsters  they  were  not 
excelled,  they  being  very  free,  resolute  movers.  His  blood  has  as 
strong  an  influence  over  the  trotter  as  any  horse  every  taken  there, 
and  his  blood  lines  are  found  in  some  of  the  good  ones,  such  as  Sir 
Charles,  sire  of  Maggie  T.  (2:1834), King  Charles  (222} and  Young  Can- 
non Ball,  sire  of  Lady  Dageett  12:26).  In  the  pedigree  of  the  Call 
Horse  and  Rising  Sun.  a  cross  that  is  found  in  Nelson  (2:09),  his 
blood  is  found,  as  it  is  also  in  many  other  good  ones. 

I  well  remember  a  mare  my  uncle  owned  that  was  by  Young  Can- 
non Ball,  and  to  my  way  of  thinking  she  was  one  of  the  finest  road- 
sters that  was  ever  hooked  to  a  wagon.  Now,  if  there  is  any  other 
way  of  tracing  this  out,  I  think  the  facts  will  be  found  as  I  have 
stated.  I  have  a  pretty  good  idea  of  the  early  horses  that  were  owned 
in  this  locality,  and  I  think  that  if  this  matter  is  looked  up  carefully 
it  will  be  found  that  tbe  mare  that  produced  so  great  a  son  was  by  no 
other  sire  than  Cannon  Ball."  B.  II.  Taylor. 

But  Mr.  J.  Reid,  of  Fredenckton,  K.  B.,  probably  one  of 
the  best  posted  of  the  oldtime  horsemen  of  that  section,  is 
confident  that  the  mare  which  brought  Hill's  Black  Hawk 
was  by  a  thoroughbred  stallion  called  Capt.  Absolute,  that 
was  imported  in  1824,  and  stood  for  stock  purposes  in  Sl 
John,  N.  B.,  in  182-5.  This  horse  was  sold  in  1S2S,  as  we  are 
informed  by  Mr.  Beid,  and  taken  to  New  York. 

If  we  remember  correctly  Mr.  Reid  once  informed  us  that 
a  Wildairmare  produced  a  filly  by  Captain  Absolute,  which 
when  first  broken  did  not  take  kindly  to  uarness,  so  she  was 
put  to  work  in  a  double  team,  and  finally  found  her  way  to 
the  States  somewhere  about  1831.  So  many  years  have 
passed,  however,  that  it  will  now  be  impossible  to  ascertain 
tbe  facts  in  rsgard  to  the  breeding  of  the  mare  which  pro- 
duced that  distinguished  son  of  Sherman  Morgan. 

There  has  been  considerable  written  about  the  dam  of  Ver- 
mont Black  Hawk  by  parties  who  evidently  never  knew  the 
mare,  and  never  got  any  facts  concerning  her  from  parties 
who  did  not  know  her.  She  is  described  in  the  ';  American 
Trotting  Register,"  Vol.  VIII.  page  192,  as  "a  black  or  dark 
brown  mare  with  white  hairs  in  her  coat,  traded  for  by  Ben- 
jamin Kelley,  of  Durham,  X.  H.,  in  the  spring  of  1831."  It 
is  also  stated  that  "  she  was  then  called  Narragansett  and  was 
always  so  called  afterwards.  It  is  further  stated  that  "she 
was  a  pacer  and  mixed-gaited  and  fast  for  her  day.*' 

Now  the  parties  who  furnished  the  compiler  of  the  Regis- 
ter with  that  description  must  have  some  other  mare  in  mind 
which  they  no  doubt  believed  to  be  the  dam  of  Vermont 
Black  Hawk,  but  were  deceived.  Several  years  ago  we  took 
a  trip  to  Portsmouth  and  Greenland,  X.  H.,  in  search  of  in- 
formation concerning  Vermont  Black  Hawk,  and  found  two 
men  who  probably  knew  his  dam  better  than  any  other  two 
men  that  ever  lived.  They  were  with  her  nearly  every  day 
for  some  eight  or  ten  years,  cared  for  her  and  drove  her,  knew 
her  color,  size,  gait  and  road  qualities,  and  all  her  peculiar 
characteristics. 

One  of  these  men  was  Wingate  Twombly,  a  son  of  Ezekiel 
Twombly,  whose  property  Black  Hawk  was  foaled.  This 
Wingate  Twombly  lived  with  his  father,  or  made  his  father's 
place  his  home  some  time  after  he  became  of  age.  He  was 
quite  advanced  in  years  when  we  interviewed  him  at  Ports- 
mouth, N.  H..  and  though  his  memory  was  somewhat  defective 
as  to  dates  (in  fact  we  have  found  many  younger  men  of  un- 
questioned veracity  who  suffered  from  the  same  complaint), 
he  remembered  the  dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk  distinctly. 

He  stated  emphatically  that  she  was  as  "  as  black  as  a 
crow,"  and  that  there  were  no  white  hairs  in  her  coat.  He 
said  she  was  a  very  cheerful  roadster,  and  her  ears  were 
always  erect  when  she  was  in  harness.  To  use  his  own  words, 
"  she  always  carried  her  ears  up  as  straight  as  sticks,"  and 
could  pull  a  Concord  wagon  with  four  men  ten  miles  in  an 
hour,  through  the  mud,  and  scarcely  puff.  He  said  she  was 
a  square  trotter,  never  paced  a  step. 

The  other  party  that  we  interviewed  was  Mr.  Shadrack 
Seavy,  a  very  iotelligsnt,  highly  respected  and  prosperous 
farmer  of  Greenland,  N.  H.  Mr.  Seavy  was  a  grandson  of 
Ezekiel  Twombly,  and  lived  with  his  grandparents.  He  was 
17  years  old  when  his  grandfather,  Ezekiel  Twombly,  traded 
with  Benjamin  Kelly  for  the  dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk. 
He  had  the  care  of  this  mare  mostly  for  eight  or  ten  years. 
His  description  of  her  coincided  with  that  given  by  Wingate 
Twombly.  He  said  she  was  black,  would  weigh  1100  pounds, 
and  was  a  mare  of  great  endurance.  His  grandmother,  a  lady 
well  advanced  in  years,  often  drove  her  after  the  death  of 
her  husband,  Ezekiel  Twombly. 

Mr.  Seavey  stated  postively  that  this  mare  which  was  the 
dam  of  Vermont  Black  Hawk  was  not  mixed  gaited,  never 
paced  a  step  in  her  life  to  his  knowledge,  and  he  drove  her 
for  years,  that  she  was  never  called  a  Narragansett,  but  that 
Mr.  Kelly,  from  whom  his  grandfather  got  her,  always  said 
that  she  came  from  New  Brunswick,  and  he  never  heard  it 
disputed. 

Here  was  a  perfectly  trustworthy  man  who  knew  the  dam 
of  Vermont  Black  Hawk  better  than  any  other  man  that  ever 
lived,  and  above  is  his  statement  in  regard  to  her,  which  we 
carefully  noted  down  at  the  time.  Furthermore,  Mr.  Seavy 
assured  the  writer  that  he  had  read  a  great  many  misstate- 
ments in  regard  to  Black  Hawk  and  his  dam  which  he  would 
have  been  glad  to  have  corrected,  but  that  the  writer  was  the 
first  newspaper  man  who  had  ever  interviewed  him  upon  the 
subject. 

There  is  other  testimony  from  expert  horsemen  who  knew 
this  mare  well,  and  all  agree  that  she  was  black  in  color,  not

Rosalind,  2:21  3-4. 


When  Alexander's  Abdallah  left  Orange  county  in  Febru- 
ary, 1859,  he  had  made  four  seasoas,  had  been  mated  with 
272  mares,  generally  of  untraced  blood,  and  from  his  services 
191  foals  resulted.  Probably  the  best  bred  of  these  mares,  al- 
though at  this  late  day  doubt  has  been  cast  upon  her  breed- 
ing, was  the  reputed  daughter  of  Abdallah,  which  produced 
the  incomparable  Goldsmith  Maid  in  1857.  In  1S5S,  out  of 
m  roan  mare  of  unknown  but  such  impressive  blood  that  her 
peculiar  color  has  become  a  distinguishing  mark  of  her  son's 
tribe,  he  got  the  roan  colt  known  as  Wood's  Hambleloniao. 
A  mare  by  Harris'  Hambletonian,  bred  to  him  in  1858,  pro- 
duced Major  Edsall,  2:29,  which,  as  the  sire  of  Robert  Mc- 
Gregor, must  be  classed  among  his  most  prepotent  sons.  His 
producing  daughters,  Saluda  and  Fannie  Mapes,  were  also 
sired  in  the  north. 

After  his  arrival  in  Kentucky  the  class  of  mares  improved, 
and  he  got  St,  Elmo,  2:30,  Pacing  Abdallah,  Jim  Monroe, 
Maud,  Favorite,  2:25;.  Lady  Abdallah,  Latham  Lass,  Trot- 
ting Sister  and  others  that  have  bred  on,  but  it  was  not  until 
his  transfer  to  Woodburn  that  he  met  the  blood  of  Mambrino 
Chief  upon  which  rests  his  most  enduring  fame.  In  186-4 
daughters  of  that  horse  foaled  to  him  Almont,  Belmont  and 
Shelby  Chief,  and  Malmaison  and  Tulip  were  the  fruits  of 
his  union  with  Black  Rose  and  Madame  Dudley.  From  his 
interrupted  opportunities  in  1S64,  while  Kentucky  was  ''the 
dark  and  bloody  ground,''  resulted  in  a  posthumous  progeny. 
comprising  among  others  Rosalind,  2:21:}  ;  Thorndale,  2:22$; 
Abdallah  Pilot,  Balsora,  Fadette,  Vanity  Fair  and  Primrose. 
Balsora,  Fadette  and  Vaoity  Fair  were  out  of  thoroughbred 
mares,  Thorndale's  dam  was  the  now  famous  Dolly.  Prim- 
rose was  the  second  daughter  of  Black  Rose  by  the  dead  sire, 
and  the  dam  of  Abdallah  Pilot  was  Blandina,  by  Mambrino 
Chief,  out  of  the  Burch  Mare  which  was  the  dam  of  Rosa- 
lind. 

The  Burch  Mare,  as  she  was  always  known,  was  a  brown 
mare,  15}  hands  high,  muscular  and  strongly  made,  with 
short  back  and  powerful  quarters.  Her  neck  was  tine  and 
clean  where  it  joined  the  large,  but  blood-like  head,  which 
was  lighted  by  big.  intelligent  eyes.  In  motion  she  was  most 
animated  and  stylish,  carrying  both  head  and  tail.  Although 
her  only  koowu  lioeage  was  the  Copperbuttom  blood,  she 
was  a  natural  trotter,  without  speed,  but  could  go  all  the 
gaits  under  saddle.  She  was  by  Parker's  Brown  Pilot  (who 
also  sired  Sophrooia,  third  dam  of  Nancy  Hanks),  a  son  of 
Fenwick's  Copperbottom  and  a  mare  by  thoroughbred  Che- 
rokee. She  was  foaled  in  1854,and  in  1858  produced  HJan- 
dina  to  Mambrino  Chief,  who  became  a  member  of  the  brood- 
mare band  at  Woodburn  aud  dam  of  the  successful  sires 
Swigert,  Abdallah  Pilot,  King  Rene,  Solicitor  and  Rienzi. 
Rosalind's  performances  brought  her  dam  into  prominence, 
aod  she  was  purchased  of  Colonel  R.  West  by  Harrison  R. 
Durkee,  of  New  York,  to  be  bred  to  his  norses  Dictator  and 
Blackwood.  To  Dictator  she  produced  two  colts,  the  bay 
gelding  Donald,  2:27,  and  Spring  Hill,  sire  of  Careless,  2:23. 
To  Blackwood  two  til  lies  were  foaled,  one  of  which,  Birch- 
wood,  is  the  dam  of  Kingwood,  2:17$,  by  Kentucky  Dictator. 
When  she  had  ceased  to  be  prolific  she  was  discarded  from 
Spring  Hill,  and,  in  the  reverses  of  fortune  which  followed, 
eventually  fell  into  the  hands  of  a  grocer  in  Astoria,  L.  I., 
•ho  put  her  to  work  in  a  heavy  delivery  wagon_.  which  in- 
dignity she  survived  but  a  few  months,  dying  in  her  twenty- 
eighth  year. 

Rosalind  was  bred  by  George  W.  Burch,  of  Scott  county, 
Kentucky,  aud  early  giving  promise  of  exceptional  speed, 
passed  into  the  possession  of  Colonel  Richard  West.  But  as 
a  three-year  old  she  was  accidently  gotten  in  foal  by  one  of 
two  c^lts — Thorndale,  or  a  son  of  Edwin  Forrest — which  one 
it  was  then  impossible  to  determine,  but  the  characteristics 
of  thedaughter,  which  was  foaled  in  1S69,  and  of  her  subse- 
quent family,  have  tended  toward  fixing  the  paternity  upon 
Thorndale.  The  unwelcome  little  filly  was  taken  from  her 
youthful  dam  when  three  days  old  and  placed  under  the  care 
of  an  old  gray  mare  that  had  a  mule  foal,  but  the  foster 
mother  died  and  the  orphaned  filly  was  brought  up  by  hand, 
growing  into  the  handsome  bay  mare  Nellie  Walker,  now 
one  of  the  valued  matrons  at  Palo  Alto.  After  this  sum- 
mary disposal  nf  her  maternal  duties,  Rosalind's  education 
was  commenced  in  earnest,  and  she  was  showing  so  much 
speed  that  the  attention  of  Budd  Dobie  was  attracted,  and  in 
the  fall  of  1S71  he  purchased  her  for  Henry  N.  Smith,  at  a 
price  generally  reported  to  be$13,0UO.  The"  following  year, 
under  the  tuition  of  William  H.  Doble,  her  turf  career  com- 
menced at  Boston,  where  she  won  her  first  race  on  June  19, 
defeating  five  contestants  in  a  five  heat  race  and  taking  a 
record  of  2:3 U.  Later  on,  «U  Cleveland,  she  won  the  last 
three  heals  of  a  five  heat  race  in  2:29,  2:2»i,  2:19J.  In  the 
fall  she  performed  in  the  much-die-cussed  races  with  Ameri- 
can Girl,  keeping  the  heat*  split  and  the  pool-box  booming, 
which  defeated  her  in  the  end.  In  the  second  of  these  races 
at  Point  Breeze  Park,  Philadelphia,  September  27,  1872,  over 
a  track  heivy  from  rain  during  the  previous  night,  she  won 
the  6r*l  heat  after  a  pleasing  contest.  When,  however,  2:21;} 
wa*  hung  out  tliere  *u  consternation  and  recrimination  in 
the  camp,  but  the  record  mood,  as  it  stands  to-day,  a  mere 
mockery  of  her  actual  speed.  On  October  21,  at  Prospect 
Park,  she  waw  defeated  in  a  hard-fought  race  with  Gazelle. 
Judge  Puliation  and  i  leorga  Palmer,  but  trotted  a  quarter  in 

the  fourth  heat  in  34 J  sermids,  and  a  half  in  1:0'.*.  It  was 
now  late  in  tfai  Reason  and  »he  was  returned  to  Fashion,  where 
Dohle  ami  lli-u.-k  subsequently  arrived  with  their  Gold- 
smith  Maid  l.ury  combination,  fresh  from  the  California 
campaign  against  Occident,  Mere  in  the  privacy  of  home, 
safe  from  th«- « -v. ■-  r»|  i  oei  b  irioui  public,  it  au  demonstrated! 
that  Ko-nlind  could  take  the  pole  from  Lucv  in  their  work- 
outs, and  »t  the  Palcben  mare  could  brush  a"  2: 10 gait,  a  line 
on  the  quality  of  the  younger  daughter  "f  Alexander's  \|»- 
dallah  ws*  obtained.  Thesenfoi  I  table  has  frequently  driven 
her  quartern  in  32  seconds,  and  fully  convinced  of  the 
genuine  merit  of  the  mnre,  the  younger  Doble  packed  up 
her  traps  and  retraced  his  way  to  the  Pacific  Coast  for  an- 
other tilt  at    Occident 

The* arrived  at  San  Francisco  late  in  December,  during 
'he  prevalence  of  the  raw  rainy  weather  that  Californians 
term  winter,  and  for  some  weeks  nothing  could  be  done    Ne- 


gotiations were  kept  up  for  a  match  against  Governor  Stan- 
ford's gelding,  and  after  long  evasion  on  one  side  or  the 
other  the  news  was  telegraphed  East  that  a  race  had  been  ar- 
ranged to  take  place  on  the  Bay  District  track,  mile  heats, 
three  in  five,  for  $5,000  a  side.  Interest  and  expectation  rati 
high,  and  general  disappointment  followed  the  later  au- 
QOUdcemeot  that  the  race  was  off,  and  Doble  returned  to 
Trenton  early  in  April,  1873,  with  the  supremacy  of  his  great 
mare  undecided. 

During  the  season  of  1S73  the  mare  was  not  up  to  her  true 
form,  and  in  consequence  was  not  started  in  a  race,  and  in 
1874  she  was  bred  to  General  Knox.  Before  her  foal  was 
due  it  was  decided  to  mate  her  next  with  Hambletonian,  and 
she  was  sent  to  Guy  Miller's  place  in  Orange  county,  and 
there  foaled  the  brown  colt  known  as  Charles  Caffrey.  She 
failed  to  produce  to  Hambletonian,  and  in  1S76  she  was  the 
first  mire  bred  to  the  two-year-old  son  of  Lady  Thome  and 
General  Knox.  The  result  of  this  mating,  a  bay  colt  named 
Beaconsfield,  was  one  of  the  best  ever  foaled  in  that  great 
nursery  of  trotters,  and  his  early  death,  before  the  full  reali- 
zation of  his  wonderful  promise,  must  always  be  a  matter  of 
regret,  since  the  achievements  in  the  stud  of  his  full  sister, 
Cigarette,  foaled  1878,  abnndantly  evidence  the  worth  of  that 
blood  combination.  In  1S79  she  produced  the  bay  stallion 
Intrigue,  by  Jay  Gould,  2:21  J,  and  although  since  bred 
repeatedly,  her  rich  blood  inheritance  has  been  unavailable. 
What  might  be  termed  her  farewell  appearance  in  public 
occurred  September,  1886,  in  the  role  of  matron,  at  the  Penn- 
sylvania State  Fair,  held  in  Philadelphia,  where  she  was 
shown  with  her  son  Intrigue,  capturing  the  first  prize  for 
broodmares,  and  attracting  universal  admiration.  Although 
in  her  twenty-second  year  she  was  well  preserved  and  hand- 
some, with  all  the  tire  and  spirit  of  her  youth,  and  stepped 
out  to  halter  with  the  same  bold,  pure  action  that  bad  marked 
her  early  promise.  She  was  then  a  rich  bay  in  color,  fifteen 
and  one-half  hands  high,  lengthy,  with  strong  back  and 
remarkably  muscled  quarters,  sound,  perfect  legs  and  feet. 
Her  neck  was  long  and  tine  at  the  throat-latch,  her  bead 
clean  and  blood-like,  with  the  brainy  forehead  that  distin- 
guishes the  descendants  of  her  sire  even  to  the  third  aud 
fourth  generation. 

Could  she  have  passed  away  at  that  time  when  the  honors 
of  maternity  were  yet  upon  her,  and  the  glory  of  her  per- 
formances uoforgotten,  and  been  laid  to  rest  by  the  side  of 
the  homestretch  with  her  contemporaries,  The  Maid,  Lady 
Thome  and  Lucy,  it  would  have  been  a  fitting  close  to  an 
honorable  career.  Bat  an  unkind  fate  had  shaped  her  des- 
tiny, and  she  "  lags  superfluous  on  the  stage  of  time,"  one  of 
the  last  if  not  the  only  living  representative  of  Alexander's 
Abdallah. 

When  the  final  consignment  left  the  gates  of  the  Fashion 
last  November  every  animal  of  possible  value  had  been  in- 
cluded, but  the  forlorn  old  mare  whose  blood  has  made  an 
important  page  in  the  history  of  that  great  enterprise  was  left 
behind,  and  of  late  has  been  the  general  business  horse  for  the 
farm,  still  driving  with  more  courage  and  ambition  than 
many  a  younger  one.  Great  as  was  her  speed,  her  true  value 
has  been  in  the  stud,  where  her  four  living  representatives, 
by  as  many  different  sires,  have  each  become  producers. 
Judged  by  that  supreme  test  of  the  value  of  a  broodmare — 
the  ability  to  endow  her  daughters  with  the  power  of  trans- 
mitting their  speed  andquality — Rosalind  stands  pre-eminent 
among  the  matrons  by  her  famous  sire,  her  own  two  daugh- 
ters and  one  granddaughter  being  numbered  within  the  select 
circle,  while  another  of  the  second  generation  is  the  dam  of 
speed.  Her  two  sons,  without  favor  or  influence,  have  placed 
thirteen  members  in  the  race-winning  division  of  the  2:20  list. 
The  daughter  of  her  youth,  Nellie  Walker,  possesses  the 
same  inherent  merit  which  rendered  every  matiog  of  her 
dam  and  grandam  a  successful  cross,  her  son  Peruvian  Bit- 
ters, 2:23},  being  the  one  pacer  among  the  145  performers 
sired  by  Electioneer.  Warlock,  2:24,  was  by  Whips;  her 
great  broodmare  daughter  Nellie  Benton  was  by  General 
Benton,  and  another,  Nettie  Walker,  dam  of  My  My,  2:25$, 
was  by  Mohawk  Chief.  And  this  adaptability  extends  also 
to  Nettie  Benton,  her  three  performers  being  Nettie  B., 
2:20 i,  by  Ansel;  Electro  Benton,  2:25^,  by  Electioneer,  and 
Nemo,  2:26J,  by  Clay. 

Charles  Caffrey,  the  son  Rosalind  foaled  to  General  Knox 
in  1S75,  was  sold  in  1876  at  the  first  public  sale  of  the  Fash- 
ion yearlings,  becoming  the  property  of  Harrison  Robbins, 
of  Philadelphia,  for$660.  He  afterwards  parted  with  him 
to  that  astute  horseman,  Captain  Edward  Pyle,  and  the  young 
horse  was  transferred  to  Nebraska,  where  he  has  earned  an 
enviable  reputation  as  a  show  horse,  with  a  record  of  forty- 
five  premiums  won  in  the  forty-eight  times  he  has  been 
shown.  His  speed  has  been  proven  in  an  authentic  trial  of 
2:26$,  and  although  all  the  foals  which  resulted  from  his  first 
two  years  of  service  perished  in  a  tire  at  Omaha,  he  has  ten 
representatives  in  the  list,  out  of  mares  which  he  has  made 
standard.  But  had  be  sired  only  that  game  and  consistent 
race  horse  Robbie  P.,  2:13,  his  position  among  the  coming 
sires  of  speed  would  have  been  assured.  Her  next  foal  to  ar- 
rive at  maturity,  the  bay  mare  Cigarette,  by  General  Wash- 
ington, foaled  1878,  was  retained  at  the  Fashion,  and  bred  as 
a  four-year-old,  the  two  oldest  of  her  produce,  daughters  of 
Jay  Gould,  being  consigned  to  the  harem.  Then  followed 
Kerwin,  2:20$,  by  Slander;  Calvo,  2:29},  by  Rumor,  and 
Curio  (2),  2:25,  bv  Alcantara.  Again  was  the  inherited  in- 
dividuality of  the  Burch  Mare  asserted  in  the  power  to  assimi- 
late successfully  widely  differing  strains  of  blood. 

The  youngest  offspring  of  the  great  old  mare  Intrigue, 
foaled  to  Jay  Gould  in  1870,  was  kept  at  home  untrained 
and  without  opportunity  in  thestud,  until  as  a  six-year-old, 
he  was  sold  at  a  New  York  sale  and  returned  to  his  native 
town  the  properly  of  the  Trenton  Stock  Farm,  where  he  has 
since  remained,  dependent  almost  entirely  upon  the  indis- 
criminate patronage  of  a  farming  community.  The  oldest  of 
his  get  wan  foaled  in  18S6,  and  few  have  had  the  advantages 
of  training,  but  of  this  limited  number  three  have  become 
standard  by  performance,  and  have  made  theirdams  stand- 
ard. His  daughters,  like  the  daughters  of  Charles  Caffrey, 
are  beginning  lo  attract  attention  as  producers,  and  the  fame 
of  Alexander's  Abdallah  as  founder  of  a  brood  mare  family, 
will  receive  substantial  support  from  the  descendants  of  his 
developed  daughter,  Rosalind. — Horseman. 

Is  Your  Mare  Barren  ? 


At  Director's  Home. 


The  noted  New   Jersey  horseman,  Clark   Pettit,  owner  of 
Bellman,  2:14$,  recently  visited    A.    H.   Moore's   Cioverdell 
Farm,  Colmar,  Pa.,  and  gives  his  impressions  of  the  home  of 
Director  to  the  Horseman  as  follows:     ''On    every  hand  the 
visitor  is  confronted  by  vast  and  grand  improvements.  There1 
are  miles  of    beautiful  driveways  constructed  of  crushed  rock 
on  each  side  of  which  are  lines,   almost  unending,  of  hand- 
some shade  trees.  These  driveways  and  many  miles  of  paved 
pathways  lead,  from  all  parts  of  the  farm,  to  the  elegant  site 
of  the  new   mansion  that  is   soon  to  be  erected  at  a  cost   of 
$250,000.     One  of  the  thorough  and  perfect  features  of  the 
farm  is  the  foaling  barn,  fitted  with  fourteen  large  box-stalls, 
all  heated   by  steam  in  the  winter.     A  new  plant  has  been 
placed  on  the  farm  for   lighting  all    the  buildings  with  elec- 
tricity.    A  large   building,  isolated    from    the  others,  is   the 
farm  hospital  for  sick  horses.     This   building  is  fitted   with 
the  latest  surgical  appliances  and  facilities  for  the  treatment 
of  difficult  diseases,  and  also  contains  a  complete   laboratory. 
The  farm  has   a  quarter-mile  covered  track   and  a  splendid 
half-mile  out-door  track.     At  no  farm  in  America  can  there 
be  seen  so  many  great  mares  as  at  Cioverdell.     Here  you  can 
see  Nancy  Lee,  dam  of  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04 ;  Annorean    (2), 
2:26i;  Palo  Alto  Belle  (3),  2:22*;  Lizzie  Mack,  2:24  ;  Marv

numbering  all  told  some   seventy-seven   head.      Nancy  Lee 
and  Echora  are    both   nearly   due  to   Director.     Lucia,  the 
eighteen-year-old  daughter  of  Jay   Gould   and  Lucy,  2:18}, 
is  still  healthy.     She  is  now  the  dam  of  six   standard    per- 
formers.    Director  is   looking  every  inch  the    noble  animal 
that  he  is,  and  on  being  led  out  of  his  stall  acts  like  a  two- 
year-old." 

A  Model  Breeding  Farm. 

Last  Monday  afternoon  our  editor  accepted  a  cordial  in- 
vitation to  accompany  J.  B.  Iverson  to  his  race  track  and 
breeding  farm  in  the  southwestern  suburbs  of  Salinas.  It  is 
a  model  establishment  of  its  kind,  doing  credit  to  the  taste, 
judgment  and  purse  of  the  liberal  aud  progressive  proprietor. 

The  training  course,  which  is  laid  out  according  to  regula- 
tion measurements,  is  one  of  the  best  half-mile  tracks  to  be 
found  anywhere.  The  paddock  and  adjoining  outlying  fields 
constitute  luxuriant  alfalfa  pastures,  where  graze  sleek  high- 
bred horses  ranging  in  age  from  sucklings  to  those  of  mature 
years.  Among  them  we  noticed  a  full  dozen  of  Eugeneer 
colts — one  three-year-old,  three  two- year-olds,  three  yearlings 
and  five  sucklings.  They  are  a  splendid  lot,  most  of  their 
dams  being  gilt-edged  standard  bred,  such  as  Kentucky  Prince, 
Messenger-Duroc,  etc  The  youngsters  all  promise  well,  one 
of  the  two-year-olds  showing  cpeed  that  gives  assurance  of 
entering  the  charmed  circle  the  coming  fall. 

The  well-known  trainer  and  driver,  Elias  Williams  (kuown 
among  horsemen  as  "Doc"  Williams)  has  charge  of  Mr. 
Iverson's  establishment  and  is  doing  good  work.  The  day  of 
our  visit  he  was  "  working  out "  the  speedy  pacing  filly  Ivolo 
in  company  with  Jim  Harris'  fast  trotting  mare,  Maud  H. 
I^olo  is  doing  well  and  will  be  likely  to  surprise  the  natives 
at  the  fair  this  fall. 

The  barn,  stables  and  corrals  are  all  conveniently  arranged

Tuberculosis  in  Cattle  at  Stockton. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  :  — I  was  more  than  as- 
tonished when  I  read  Dr.  Archibald's  communication  in  your 
issue  of  the  2nd  inst.  to  note  the  obstructive  methods  made 
use  of  by  the  medical  staff  of  the  asylum. 

No  wonder  that  tuberculosis  is  on  the  increase  when  a  body 
of  men  supposed  to  possess  at  leasta  faint  knowledge  of  com- 
parative pathology  foster  antipathy  to  men  in  the  execution 
of  a  public  duty.  The  results  of  the  tuberculin  test  pub- 
lished in  the  Eastern  States  as  well  as  in  Europe  are  endorsed 
by  the  leading  and  recognized  scientists  of  the  day,  and  one 
cannot  gainsay  what  is  proven  beyond  doubt  by  the  unani- 
mous results  of  repeated  investigation. 

These  self-same  savants  give  further  illustration  of  their 
shallow  ignorance  by  saying  that  they  believed  tuberculosis  to  be 
a  rare  disease  among  dairy  cattle  and  thai  they  were  by  no  means 
satisfied  that  the  disease  was  transmissible,  if  the  expression 
quoted,  that  tuberculosis  is  a  rare  disease  in  dairy  cattle,  is 
correct,  what  a  woeful  display  of  ignorance.  If  tuberculosis 
exists  anywhere  in  the  bovine  species  it  is  amongst  dairy 
cattle. 

It  is  well  known  that  tuberculosis  is  a  disease  of  domesti- 
cation. This  fact  is  proven  by  its  rare  occurrence  among 
sheep,  and  the  low  percentage  of  cases  in  range  cattle. 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  State  Sanitary  Board  some  mem- 
bers of  the  medical  profession  drew  attention  to  quarantining 
persons  afflicted  with  tuberculosis,  and  also  the  using  of  cus- 
pidors, etc.,  while  on  the  other  hand  the  medical  savants  of 
the  State-  Asylum  proposed  to  sell  a  diseased  bull  to  a  man 
"  across  the  mountains."  It  is  safe  to  conclude  that  the  in- 
tending purchaser  is  either  hopelessly  ignorant,  or  that  the 
bull  is  being  sold  under  false  pretences,  because  I  do  not  be- 
lieve any  stockmau,  if  he  knew  the  facts  of  the  case,  would 
willingly  contaminate  his  stock. 

These  medical  men  of  the  State  Asylum  know  very  well  if 
they  choose  to  refer  to  modern  literature,  the  percentage  of 
deaths  from  tuberculosis  is  increasing,  and  a  mere  tyro  could 
not,  under  any  circumstances  whatever,  countenance  the  use 
of  milk  from  a  dairy  when  over  70  percent  of  the  animals 
are  affected.  A  further  display  of  ignorance  is  made  by  the 
Asylum  doctors  when  they  said  that  they  believe  that  the 
carcass  of  an  animal  affected  with  tuberculosis  iras  not  dan- 
gerous to  human  life. 

Cinder  certain  conditions,  the  carcass  of  an  animal  afflicted 
with  localised  tuberculosis  is  passed  as  6t  fur  human  food, 
but  under  no  conditions  whatever  can  a  carcass  afflicted  with 
generalized  tuberculosis  be  passed  as  fit  for  human  food,  not 
even  for  the  inmates  of  an  asylum.  Apart  from  the  reason- 
ing that  cookery  destroys  the  tubercle  bacilli  being  perfectly 
correct,  we  must,  however,  remember  that  the  presence  within 
the  small  economy  of  tubercular  form  pre-existing  tubercle 
bicilli  is  not  removed  by  boiling,  and  if  the  small  quantity 
used  in  testing  causes  a  rise  of  temperature  in  a  large  animal 
like  an  ox,  it  stands  to  reason  that  the  partaking  of  food  con- 
taining this  ptomaine  cannot  be  productive  of  good  health, 
even  in  lunatics. 

Regarding  the  objection  to  the  tuberculin  test,  that  is 
it  was  not  reliable,  if  that  was  tbe  case,  Dr.  Salmon  would  not 
allow  it  to  be  issued  by  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry,  as 
there  ia  an  accomplished  chemist  in  connection  with  that  de- 
partment. I  cannot  speak  personally  in  regard  to  tuberculin 
issued  by  the  Bureau,  because  what  I  use  I  brought  from  Ber- 
lin, however,  I  have  received  mallein,  another  substance 
used  in  the  detection  of  glanders  in  suspected  cases,  supplied 
bv  the  Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  and  have  obtained  the 
most  satisfactory  aesults. 

Dr.  Archibald  does  not  state  in  his  letter  whether  he  or  his 
associates  mounted  covered  glass  specimens  from  the  tubercu- 
lous modules  and  detected  the  presence  of  tubercule  bacilli,be- 
cau-e  although  they  cannot  always  be  detected  by  microscop- 
ical examination,  still  their  presenee  would  certainly  tend  to 
corroborate  tbe  accuracy  of  the  tuberculin  test,  disputed  by 
the  learned  corps  of  directors  in  the  asylum.  In  conclusion, 
Mr.  Editor,  I  must  say  your  editorial  remarks  are  certainly 
to  the  point  regarding  the  position  some  medical  men  think 
the  veterinary  surgeons  of  the  present  time  occupies,  and  I 
am  glad  you  have  begun  the  battle.  It  requires  just  as  much 
study  of  microscopv,  pathological  anatomy,  etc.,  to  enable  a 
veterinary  surgeon  to  occupy  the  position  of  ascientist  as  it  does 
for  a  doctor  to  occupy  a  similar  position,  in  the  medical  pro- 
fession, and  if  those  learned  doctors  of  Stockton  will  pay  a 
visit  to  Berlin  or  Prussia  they  will  find  veterinary  surgeons 
from  all  countries  working  side  by  side  with  medical  men  in 
the  bacteriological  and  pathological  laboratories,  studying  to 
enable  themselves  to  enter  the  field  of  scientific  investigation 
with  a  correct  knowledge  of  the  various  modern  methods,  in 
order  that  suffering  humanity  may  be  benefited  by  their  future 
labors  ;  and,  members  of  the  medical  staff  of  the  State  Asylum, 
I  would  call  to  your  attention  that  some  of  the  brightest  and 
most  learned  scientists  of  the  present  decade  were  and  are 
members  of  the  veteriaarv  profession.

J-  Correction  Made. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — I  desire  to  correct 
a  statement  which  appeared  in  the  editorial  columns  of  the 
last  issue  of  tbe  Breedeb  and  Sportsman.  The  statement 
which  I  refer  to,  is  as  follows  :  "At  San  Jose,  a  short  time 
ago,  the  veterinarians  who  attended  a  meeting  of  the  State 
Board  of  Health,  presented  a  series  of  articles  to  be  read 
before  that  august  body,  but  they,  the  articles,  were  tabled, 
and  very  little  attention  would  have  been  given  to  tbe  visi- 
tors had  not  one  of  them,  Prof-  Thos.  Bowhill,  we  believe, 
arose  and  told  the  medical  gentlemen  what  they  were  there 
for,  and  what  they  wanted."  This  is  a  mistake.  I  was  the 
only  veterinarian,  whose  name  appeared  on  the  programme, 
that  failed  to  get  a  hearing.  I  do  not,  however,  attribute 
this  failure  on  my  part  to  any  feeling  the  convention  might 
have  against  the  veterinary  profession,  but  simply  to  the  fact 
that  time  did  not  permit  the  convention  to  hear  all  the  papers 
that  were  on  the  programme.  As  it  was,  the  convention  did 
not  adjourn  till  near  midnight. 

I  am  particularly  anxious  to  correct  the  misunderstanding 
that  prevails  with  reference  to  the  stand  taken  by  the  Board 
of  Health  on  tnat  occasion.  The  State  Board  of  Health,  in 
my  estimation,  treated  us  with  every  courtesy,  and  I  do  not 
believe  that  there  is  one  of  the  delegates,  which  represented 
the  California  State  Veterinary  Medical  Association,  but  was 
more  than  satisfied  at  the  recognition  we  received  from  tbe 
medical  profession  on  that  occasion,  more  especially  as  it  was 


the  first  time  the  veterinary  profession  in  this  State  have 
requested  recognition  from  the  medical  profession. 

In  regard  to  Dr.  Bowtnll's  remarks  at  the  convention,  I 
would  say  that  the  Doctor  did  rise  to  his  feet  for  the  purpose 
of  advocating  our  cause,  but  unfortunately  he  allowed 
his  mind  to  wander  to  the  subject  matter  of  tbe  use  of  mal- 
lein and  tuberculin  as  diagnostic  agents,  which  subjects, 
though  foreign  to  the  subject  matter  uuder  discussion  at  the 
time,  he  confined  his  remarks  to. 

t  will  also  say  that  whenever  a  member  of  tbe  veterinary 
profession  arose  to  address  the  convention,  he  was  accorded 
just  as  patient  a  hearing  as  any  of  the  medical  profession. 

Thanking  you  for  past  favors,  and  hoping  you  will  rectify 
the  misunderstanding  which  seems  to  exist,  -I  am, 

Respectfully,     R.  A.  Archibald,  D.  V.  S. 

Sacramento,  Cal. 

[The  statement,  as  we  published  it,  was  given  us  in  good 
faith ;  we  have  had  no  opportunity  of  knowing  whether  it 
was  true  or  not,  until  the  above  letter  reached  us.  While  it 
is  annoying  to  know  that  there  is  a  misunderstanding,  never- 
theless it  is  with  pleasure  we  publish  this  correction. — Ed] 


The  Asylum  Cattle. 


Pertinent  to  the  excitement  now  existing  in  the  minds  of 
every  citizen  in  California,  regarding  the  prevalence  of  tu- 
berculosis in  the  little  herd  of  cattle  at  the  Stockton  Insane 
Asylum,  is  the  following  article  copied  from  the  last  issue  of 
the  Washington  Post  in  which  measure-*  are  spoken  of  for  the 
stamping  out  of  the  plague  : 

The  agricultural  appropriation  bill,  which  has  passed  the 
House,  contains  an  item  of  $100,000,  to  be  expended  by  tbe 
Bureau  of  Animal  Industry  in  investigating  the  prevalence 
of  tuberculosis  among  cattle.  Very  little  is  known  at  present 
of  this  disease  in  different  sections  of  the  country,  but  a  great 
many  herds  have  been  discovered,  in  which  from  60  to  70 
per  cent,  of  the  animals  were  infected,  and  it  is  for  the  pur- 
pose of  collecting  more  definite  information  as  to  the  propor- 
tion of  animals  infected,  and  to  experiment  with  measures 
for  controlling  tbe  disease  that  the  appropriation  will  be 
used.  After  this  is  accomplished,  should  it  be  decided  that 
an  attempt  to  extirpate  tuberculosis  is  practicable,  it  will  be 
necessary  to  call  upon  Congress  for  larger  additional  appro- 
priations to  put  the  project  into  execution. 

It  cost  the  government  $1,500,000  to  eradicate  contagious 
pleuro-pneomonia,  and  it  took  a  large  force  of  skilled  veteri- 
nary inspectors,  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  D.  E.  Salmon,  five 
years  to  do  it.  Great  Britain  is  still  engaged  in  a  hard  fight 
to  accomplish  the  same  object. 

Compared  with  the  magnitude  of  the  labor  required  to 
stamp  out  tuberculosis,  the  pleuropneumonia  work  sinks  in- 
to insignificance.  All  the  animals  infected  with  pleuro-pneu- 
monia,  orthat  had  been  exposed  to  thedisease  were  slaught- 
ered, and  Dr.  Salmon  says  if  all  the  cows  affected  with  tuber- 
culosis are  killed,  fresh  milk  will  cost  as  much  as  champagne. 
The  danger  of  drinking  milk  from  tuberculosis  cows  is  well 
known,  but  the  danger  may  be  avoided  by  sterilization,  that 
is  subjecting  the  milk  to  a  temperature  of  1-50  degrees  F.  for 
a  period  of  half  an  hour.  In  this  connection  it  may  be  said 
that  condensed  milk  is  not  always  perfectly  harmless.  Tuber- 
culosis may  be  communicated  through  milk  that  has  been 
condensed  at  a  temperature  lower  than  tbe  above. 

Some  of  the  scientists  attached  to  the  Animal  Industry 
laboratory  recently  innoculated  a  guinea  pig  with  fresh  milk 
delivered  in  Washington  and  within  the  prescribed  period 
the  little  animal  developed  tuberculosis  in  a  prorounced 
form.  A  startling  circumstance  in  connection  with  this  ex- 
periment is  the  statement  that  the  White  House  milk  supply 
came  from  this  same  source. 

By  the  use  of  tuberculin,  discovered  by  Prof.  Koch,  it  may 
readily  be  determined  whether  an  animal  is  aftected  with  tu- 
berculosis. The  market  price  of  this  preparation  in  Germany 
is  $S  per  four  grams,  or  a  teaspoonful.  It  is  prepared  in  the 
United  States  only  at  the  Animal  Industry  laboratory,  from 
whence  it  is  distributed  free  to  the  authorities  of  various 
States  boards  of  health  and  live  stock  sanitary  commissioners. 
Blanks  for  recording  results  of  tests  are  sent  with  the  prepa- 
ration with  the  request  that  they  be  carefully  filled  out  and 
returned  to  the  Bureau. 

Tuberculin  is  really  only  a  liquid  in  which  the  tubercle 
bacilli  have  been  living.  It  takes  nearly  two  months  to  pre- 
pare it.  First,  a  sort  of  meat  broth  is  prepared,  in  which 
the  bacilli  are  placed  ;  and  there  they  are  cultivated  and 
thrive  until  the  liquid  becomes  thoroughly  infected.  Then 
they  are  killed  by  subjecting  the  liquid  to  a  temperature  of 
150  F.  and  filtered  out;  the  liquid  undergoes  some  further 
process  in  the  way  of  refining  and  is  then  ready  for.  use.  A 
small  quantity  is  injected  under  the  hide  of  a  cow,  and  in 
eight  to  fifteen  hours,  if  she  has  tuberculosis  her  temperature 
rises  from  two  to  three  deg.ees,  and  sometimes  as  high  as 
four  or  even  five  degrees. 

While  the  test  of  tuberculism  is  not  infallible,  it  furnishes 
by  far  the  best  and  almost  the  only  known  outward  indica- 
tson  of  the  existence  of  the  disease.  It  is  possible  for  per- 
fectly sound  animals,  which  have  been  treated  with  the  in- 
jection, to  show  a  rise  in  temperature,  and  it  is  also  possible 
that  diseased  animals  similarly  treated  will  fail  to  show  a 
rise,  but  such  instances  are  extremely  rare.  There  is  a 
theory  among  some  veterinarians,  and  one  to  which  Secretary 
Morton  leans,  that  highly-bred  animals  are  more  disposed  to 
tuberculosis  than  the  more  plebian  of  their  kind.  It  is  per- 
fectly certain,  at  any  rate,  that  blooded  stock  are  equally 
liable  to  the  disease.  Among  other  herds  it  was  discovered 
among  the  pure-bred  Guernseys  belonging  to  Hon.  Levi  P. 
Morton. 

As  soon  as  the  appropriation  of  §100,000  becomes  available 
the  bureau  will  place  a  force  of  inspectors  in  the  field  and  be- 
gin the  work  of  inspecting  the  numerous  herds  from  which 
Washington  gets  its  milk  supply,  with  the  co-operation  of 
the  District  health  office.  A  list  of  over  500  owners  of  cows 
in  the  District  and  within  a  radius  of  thirty  miles  of  this 
city,  in  Virginia  and  Maryland,  has  been  prepared  ready  for 
commencing  operations.  Various  herds  in  this  section  of  the 
country  have  been  inspected  and  tested  from  time  to  time.  A 
herd  of  135  animals  near  Richmond,  Va.,  was  found  to  con- 
tain 90  diseased,  and  a  nerd  in  the  District  had  80  per  cent 
diseased. 

The  bureau  has  furnished  tuberculin  tc  the  officials  of 
twenty-three  different  States,  and  over  1,000  blanks  recorded 
the  tests  made  have  been  returned  and  are  on  file.  Of  this 
number  about  500  came  from  Vermont,  and  200  from  Massa- 
ehusetts.  A  special  bulletin  on  tuberculosis  is  being  prepared 
by  Dr.  Salmon  and  will  shortly  be  published. 


Newmarket. 


From  the  excellent  River  Platte  Sport  and  Pastime  we 
reproduce  the  following  interesting  sketch  : 

Even  as  the  Derby  as  a  race  has  uo  parallel,  so  also  there 
is  nothing  like  Newmarket  town  in  the  racing  world.  It  is 
unique.  The  very  name  of  Newmarket  suggests  only  one 
thing  to  a  hearer — horse  racing.  It  is  the  very  fountain-head 
and  hot-bed  of  racing.  Its  population  is  a  population  of  rac- 
ing folk,  from  the  titled  and  millionaire  owners  down  to  the 
stable  lads.  As  a  racing  town  it  is  sufficient  unto  itself,  con- 
taining all  the  elements  of  the  sport,  even  to  the  smallest 
necessity,  and  it  could  go  steadily  on  in  the  even  tenor  of  it* 
sporting  way  if  all  the  rest  of  the  world  were  swallowed  up 
bv  an  earthquake. 

Most  of  the  English  race  horses  are  trained  at  Newmarket. 
Most  of  the  trainers  have  their  homes  and  their  stables  at 
Newmarket.  Nearly  all  the  jockeys  live  there.  The  army 
of  "  head  lad?,"  "  rubbers  "  and  exercise  lads  that  the  care  of 
something  between  1,500  and  1,600  race  horses  requires  in 
attendance,  make  their  permanent  homes  in  Newmarket. 
Touts  live  there.  All  the  purveyors  to  racing  folk  live  there, 
and  fur  the  best  racing  and  exercise  saddles,  the  most  beauti- 
fully-made racing  colors,  the  most  correct  jockeys'  breeches, 
the  most  pliable  of  jockeys'  boots,  just  the  right  kind  of  rac- 
ing bridles,  and  whips,  and  horse  clothing,  no  one  need  ever 
go  out  of  Newmarket- 

A  drears,  poor  little  hole  it  would  be  but  for  the  racing. 
All  the  advantages  it  enjoys  are  the  gifts  of  sporting  men. 
Its  hospital,  the  Rous  Memorial,  was  built  by  the  jockey 
club,  and  is  a  pretty  Queen  Anne  building,  in  three  blocks, 
standing  in  a  walled  in  garden,  anc  this  is  for  the  benefit  of 
ill,  infirm  and  disabled  trainers,  jockeys  and  stable-men,  aod 
its  wards  are  named  in  honor  of  four  good  English  sports — 
the  Prince  of  Wales,  Sir  John  Astley  (who  is  the  beau  ideal 
of  a  jolly,  free-handed,  handsome  sport  of  the  old  school), 
Sir  James  Lowther  and  Lord  Hartington.  Even  one  of  its 
churches  it  owes  to  racing  luck,  the  Crawford  Memorial 
Church,  which  was  built  by  the  Duchess  of  Montrose,  the 
"racing  Duchess,"  in  memory  of  her  second  husband.  The 
town  clock  that  stands  in  the  center  of  the  town  and  chimes 
the  hour  in  clear  tones  that  can  be  heard  at  the  uttermost 
ends  of  the  town  was  the  gift  of  a  trainer,  Charles  Blanton, 
and  was  set  up  in  the  jubilee  year. 

A  quaint  old  town  it  is,  huddled  along  on  either  side  of  a 
mile  and  a  half  long  "  main  street,"  giving  one  the  impres- 
sion that  the  houses  are  all  crowding  up  and  trying  to  look 
over  each  other's  shoulders  at  what  is  going  on  in  the  street. 
Running  out  of  this  there  wander  about  without  rule  or  rea- 
son little  streets  and  lanes  only  wide  enough  for  one  wagon 
to  pass  through,  or  at  best  two,  with  a  very  close  shave,  and 
with  sidewalks  that  necessitate  Indian-file  walking. 

A  rich  town  it  is,  too,  as  becomes  a  racing  town,  with  its 
big,  handsome  houses  standing  in  their  great  gaidens,  that 
have  high  flint  walls  surrounding  them — walls  wiih  vines 
peeping  over  or  trimmed  primly  into  a  fat  green  bolster  along 
theirtop,  and  with  a  close,  uncompromising  line  of  shrubbery 
running  along  the  inner  side  to  shut  out  even  more  effectu- 
ally the  gaze  of  the  curious  passer-by.  These  big  houses, 
splendid  houses  they  are,  belong  to  the  nobility  and  the  rich 
owners,  who  keep  them  to  use  during  the  meetings,  and  to 
the  trainers,  who  wax  rich  in  the  land,  and  can  give  points 
on  good  living  and  display  to  their  swell  patrons.  The 
trainers'  houses  have  in  the  r«ar  always  a  stable  which  is 
usually  built  around  three  sides  of  a  square  stable-yard,  so 
neat  you  could  not  find  a  straw  out  of  place  if  you  tried. 

There  is  nothing  squalid  or  poor  about  the  town.  Even 
tbe  stablemen,  the  "  head  lads,"  live  with  their  families  in 
pretty  little  cottages,  each  with  its  bit  of  garden  and  its  well- 
kept  shrubbery. 

There  has  been  racing  at  Newmarket  ever  since  the  time 
of  James  I  who  built  a  house  at  Newmarket,  for  the  sake  of 
the  sport,  history  vagnely  affirms.  This  house  was  destroyed 
during  the  civil  wars  and  was  rebuilt  by  another  sport-lov- 
ing monarch,  Charles  II.  It  still  stands  a  handsome  old 
place,  in  a  grove  behind  the  Rutland  Arms,  and  now  occu- 
pied by  one  of  the  Rothschilds  during  the  meetings.  There 
is  an  underground  passage  connecting  with  a  dissenting 
chapel  in  the  main  street  that  the  Rothschilds  have  found  no 
occasion  to  disturb  the  cobwebs  in. 

Even  before  Diomed  won  the  first  Derby  in  1780,  at  Epsom, 
and  gave  a  modern  starting  point  to  turf  history,  Newmarket 
was  a  popular  racing  center,  and  it  has  always  stood  high  in 
roval  favor.  With  George  IV.,  when  he  was  Prince  of 
Wales,  it  was  a  favorite  spot,  aod  when  there  was  racing  on 
at  Newmarket  he  invited  himself  and  his  friends  to  Highflyer 
Hall,  Richard  Ta'.tersall's  place  at  Ely,  and  rode  or  drove  to 
the  race  course  from  there,  and  it  vas  on  account  of  an  inci- 
dent of  racing  at  Newmarket  that  he  retired  from  the  turf 
permanently,  because  the  honesty  of  Chifoey's  riding  on  Esca-  ■ 
pade  was  questioned,  and  he,  resenting  the  doubt  cast  on  his 
jockey,  refused  to  race  again. 

If  one  is  a  stranger  the  driver  or  a  campaniou  is  sure  to 
point  out  a  pretty  flower-garden  of  a  churchyard  and  say  : 
"There  is  where  Archer  lies  buried." 

Never  was  jockey  so  idolized  as  Archer.  His  story  and 
his  doings  are  told  and  retold  by  everyone  in  the  town,  and 
his  sad  end  is  tenderly  described.     One  is  told  : 

"There  never  was  a  wedding  like  Fred  Archer's  here.  Such 
splendor,  such  presents,  such  attention  showered  upon  him. 
There  where  the  town  clock  stands  is  where  the  prize  bullock 
was  roasted  for  his  wedding  feast — a  bullock  that  Lord  Hast- 
ings  had  pent  here  for  the  occasion."  (Matthew  Dawson,  the 
well-known  trainer,  has  among  his  prized  souvenirs  a  hoof  of 
that  bullock  mounted  with  silver.) 


Fair  Meeting. 


On  Saturday,  June  2,  at  2  p.  m.,  the  Directors  of  the  Elev- 
enth District  Agricultural  Society  met  at  <  ireenville  to  locale 
the  Fair.  Sierra  county,  under  the  by-laws,  was  entitled  to 
it  this  year,  if  it  guaranteed  a  bonus  of  $3,000.  Messrs.  Dolly 
aod  Nichols,  of  the  Sierra  County  Directors,  brought  a  guar- 
antee of  $2,000,  and  stated  that  the  amount  was  as  large  as 
their  people  would  give  as  a  bonus  for  the  Fair.  Under  tbe 
by-laws,  Sierra  having  defaulted,  Ptnmas  was  to  have  thirtv 
davsin  which  to  raise  a  guarantee  of  $3,000.  Hence  the  di- 
rectors adjourned  to  meet  on  June  9th  to  enable  the  county 
togetupthe  guarantee.  The  chances  are  that  the  matter  will 
be  settled  at  the  next  meeting  by  eilher<_ireenville  or  Quincy

SKVKNTH   I'AY — WEDNESDAY,  J  ONE  6. 

AYORITES  were  fairly    successful 
to  day,  three  of  them  winning.  Tbe 
!  £V         other  events  were  taken  by  a  2-to- 
•^v  I  L  ~  1  and  a  o-to-1  chance,  so  that  the 

talent  had  a  shade  the  best  of  the 
bookies.  The  track  was  fast  and  the 
y"Wky  presaged  a  downpour.  How- 
ever, it  did  not  cotue,  though  the 
dark  clouds  doubtless  did  keep 
many  persons  away.  The  attendance,  notwithstanding,  was 
better  than  ou  Tuesday,  the  fields  of  good  size  aod  the  racing 
throughout  interesting.  The  feature  of  the  day's  sport  was 
tbe  clo=e  finish  between  the  outsider,  Chiquito,  and  Kitty  L., 
the  latter  getting  the  verdict  in  a  hard  drive  by  less  than  two 
inches- 
Vulcan,  equal  favorite  with  Patsy  O'Neil  and  Monarch, 
ran  head  and  head  with  Red  Bird  to  the  homestretch,  then 
came  away  aod  won  by  two  lengths  easily,  Patsy  O'Xeil  sec- 
ond, as  far  from  Monarch. 

Durango  and  Warrago  ran  close  together  io  front  to  the 
homestretch,  then  Xormandie  came  through  against  the 
rails  and  wod  handily  by  about  three  parts  of  a  length.  Gor- 
dius  ran  like  a  Morello  at  tbe  close,  securing  the  place  by  a 
neck,  Warrago  third,  just  a  head  from  Mustesa. 

Chiquito  raced  off  in  front  in  the  two  year-old  race,  lead- 
ing by  over  a  length  into  the  homestretch,  at  the  head  of 
which  Batty  L.  was  coming  through.  She  caught  the  colt 
in  the  last  couple  of  strides  and  drove  in  a  winner  by  the 
narrowest  margin  possible. 

Fly,  whose  closing  odds  were  5  to  1,  won  from  old  Hal 
Fisher  by  less  than  a  length  in  fast  time  (1:011),  Chemuek 
finishing  third. 

Guard  and  Hercules  ran  head-and-head  to  the  final  turn  in 
the  last  race  of  the  day,  six  fnrlongs,  then  put  a  little  day- 
light between  himself  and  the  Oregon  horse.  Hercules  came 
very  strong  at  the  close,  and  Guard  just  won  by  half  a  length 
in  a  drive,  with  Gladiator  third.

favorites  at  3  to  1  each,  Red  Bird  at  4  to  1,  Palm  Sunday  S

the  order  to  a  grand  start.  At  the  half-pole  Monarch  and 
Red  Bird  were  necks  apart  as  named,  about  three  parts  of  a

Vulcan  passed  the  erstwhile  leaders,  and  Monarch  fell  back. 
Vulcan  was  not  to  be  headed,  and  won  in  a  canter  by  two 
lengths,  Patsy  O'Neil  running  up  fast  in  the  homestretch  and

EIGHTH  DAY — THURSDAY,  JUNE  7. 

A  grand  day's  sport.  The  goodly  crowd  in  attendance  so 
voted  it,  and  it  goes  at  that.  Only  one  decided  favorite  was 
victorious,  so  that  the  pencilers  had  much  the  best  of  the 
game.  The  remaining  three  events  were  taken  by 
an  equal  choice,  two  second  favorites  and  athird  choice. 
The  track  was  very  fast  and  the  finishes  in  four  of  the 
five  events  close  enough  to  suit  any  ordinary  lover  of  good 
racing.  Brown's  starting  was  again  excellent,  there  being 
but  one  send-off  that  could  Dot  be  termed  tirst-class.  The 
feature  of  the  day's  racing  was  the  close  finish  in  the  fourth 
race  between  Ledalia,  While  Cloud  and  .Regal,  the  race  beiDg 
won  by  a  short  neck,  with  a  nose  between  second  and  third. 
Tod  Sloan  landed  two  winners  to-day,  and  other  successful 
pigskin  pilots  were  Coombs,  Henry  Smith  and  Spence. 

Warrago,  equal  favorite  with  Hercules,  led  nearly  all  the 
way  io  the  first  race,  and  won  handily  by  half  a  length  from 
Hercules,  who  was  two  lengths  in  front  of  April. 

Hyder  Angia.  well  backed  at  3^  and  4  to  1,  got  away  sec- 
ond in  the  second  race,  romped  to  the  front  in  the  first  100 
yards,  aud  though  closely  attended  by  Jennie  Deane,  was  not 
headed,  winning  by  half  a  length,  Jennie  Deane  in  the  place, 
as  far  from  Sir  Reel,  who  sulked  considerably. 

Tigress,  second  choice,  won  the  mile  race  with  astonishing 
ease,  after  waiting  on  Gilead,  LonnieB.  and  Ryland  till  well 
down  the  homestretch,  then  came  up  and  won,  going  like  a 
shot,  by  nearly  two  lengths,  Gilead  aud  Ryland  running  less 
than  two  inches  apart  at  the  end. 

Ledalia  landed  the  fourth  race  by  a  neck  in  the  last  stride, 
after  White  Cloud  aud  Regal  had  run  head-and-head  in 
front  into  the  homestretch. 

Lottie  D.,  a  l-to-2  favorite,  had  an  easy  victory  in  the  last 
race  of  the  day,  actually  cantering  in  a  winner  by  a  length 
in  the  fast  lime  of  1:01-1.  with  Chemuek  in  the  place  and  Bill 
Howard  a  fair  third.

.  With  the  amount  of  capital  invested  in  large  farms  and 
fine  stock  throughout  the  country,  and  the  many  industries 
fostered  by  racing,  the  legitimate  sport  cannot  long  remain 
under  a  cloud.  It  has  had  setbacks  before,  but  when  the  bet- 
ter element  has  exerted  itself,  and  when  the  leading  men  of 
all  professions,  as  at  present,  have  lent  it  their  countenance, 
it  has  risen  above  depressing  and  dishonest  surroundings. 

It  has  been  noticeable  in  the  sales  of  thoroughbred  year- 
lings thus  far  held  that  the  good  individuals  have  brought 
good  prices  in  nearly  every  instance,  and  that  only  tbe  un- 
dersized and  weedy  ones,  or  those  unfashionably  bred,  have 
suffered  materially  in  price  compared  with  former  years.  This 
shows  a  healthy  state  of  things,  although  the  market  is  still 
below  what  il  should  be,  considering  the  great  earning  ca- 
pacity in  these  days  of  a  good  race-horse. 

Good  thoroughbred  yearlings  are,  whatever  the  stale  of 
the  market  may  be,  worth  as  much  as  they  ever  were,  says 
Daily  America.  There  is  really  no  ground  for  the  depression 
which  has  thus  far  existed.  The  Brooklyn  meeting  shows 
that  interest  in  racing  has  increased  rather  than  diminished, 
for  considering  the  bad  weather  on  several  days,  the  attend- 
once  has  been  remarkably  large. 

Bakon  HlBSCH  has  purchased  Matchbox,  who  ran  second 
to  Ladas  in  the  Derby  Wednesday.  The  price  was  $75,000. 
An  additional  $25,000  is  to  be  paid  provided  Matchbox  wins 
the  Grand  Prize  of  Paris.

Ladas  Woo  the  Derby. 

London,  June  6. — It  is  doubtful  if  so  much  interest  has 
ever  before  been  taken  as  was  manifested  in  the  Derby  to-day. 
There  are  several  causes  for  this  state  of  affairs.  Not  only 
was  it  known  that  Rosebery's  Ladas  was  in  the  race  to  win, 
but  there  was  a  probability  that  a  third  part  of  the  prophecy 
regarding  himself  made  by  Lord  Rosebery  in  his  college  days 
would  be  fulfilled.  Years  ago  ^he  |said  be  would  marry  the 
richest  heiress  of  his  time ;  that  he  would  be  the  Prime  Min- 
ister, and  that  one  of  his  horses  would  win  tbe  Derby. 

The  morning  was  dnll  and  dreary,  rain  threatening  and  fog 
predominating,  bat  not  even  a  storm  could  have  kept  the 
crowd  away  from  Epsom  Downs  to-day.  Over  100,000  people, 
according  to  the  estimate,  journeyed  to  the  course  by  road  or 
rail  in  some  manner  or  other,  the  attendance  being  above  the 
average  in  point  of  number  and  respectability. 

It  was  some  minutes  after  the  time  fixed  for  the  race  before 
the  seven  runners  left  the  paddock.  The  starting  flag 
dropped  at  3:15  p.  si.  Ladas  was  the  quickest  in  getting 
away,  but  Watts  soon  steadied  the  colt.  At  a  slow  pace  Match- 
box made  the  play  for  Hornbeam,  and  Bullingdon  with  Re- 
minder and  Clywd  next,  jnst  in  front  of  Ladas,  which  had 
dropped  behind,  Galloping  Dick  last. 

Past  the  quarter- mile  post  Matchbox  still  led,  with  Bull- 
ingdon second.  Reminder  was  third  and  Hornbeam  next. 
Ladas  was  then  a  length  in  front  of  Clywd,  with  Galloping 
Dick  two  lengths  in  the  rear.  Bullingdon  at  the  mile  post 
joined  Matchbox  and  the  pair  advanced  side  by  side,  Horn- 
beam, Ladas  and  Reminder  following,  while  Clywd  was  last. 

At  the  little  hilltop  Matchbox  took  the  lead  by  a  neck, 
while  Bullingdon  and  Hornbeam  were  at  his  heels,  just  in 
front  of  Ladas  and  Reminder,  with  Galloping  Dick  still  last. 
After  reaching  tbe  stretch  Ladas  pulled  to  the  front  and  soon  i 
had  an  assured  lead,  winning  in  a  canter  by  a  length  and  a 
half.  Six  lengths  separated  the  second  horse,  Matchbox,  from 
the  third,  Reminder.  Hornbeam  was  fourth  and  Clywd  fith. 
Time,  2:45  4-5. 

The  distance  was  about  one  mile  and  a  half.  The  purse  is 
6,000  sovereigns,  of  which  the  winner  receives  5,000. 

After  the  race  Ladas  was  surrounded  by  the  multitude, 
half  mad  with  enthusiasm.  When  Lord  Rosebery  appeared 
on  the  course  to  lead  Ladas  back  to  the  paddock  a  strong 
force  of  police  was  sent  to  protect  the  Premier  from  the 
crush  of  the  crowds.  There  was  a  tremendous  outburst  of  en- 
thusiasm as  Lord  Rosebery  and  Ladas  entered  the  paddock 
together.  For  to-day,  at  least,  the  most  popular  man 
in  England  is  the  proud  owner  of  Ladas,  the  winner  of  the 
Derby. 

Ladas  is  by  Hampton,  out  of  Illuminata.  He  has  a  re- 
markable pedigree.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  he  is  thirteenth  in 
tail  male  from  that  father  of  the  English  stud,  The  Darley 
Arabian,  through  those  most  famous  horses,  Touchstone  and 
the  immortal  Eclipse.  Ladas  is  by  Hampton,  by  Lord  Clif- 
den,  by  Newminster,  by  Touchstone,  by  Camel,  by  Whale- 
bone, by  Waxy,  by  Pot-8-os,  by  Eclipse,  by  Marske,  by  Squirt, 
by  Bartlett's  Childers,  by  The  Darley  Arabian.  The  present 
undefeated  Derby-winner  is  a  beatiful  dark  bay  colt,  who  is 
bloodlike  all  over.  Built  on  graceful  lines,  he  has  grand 
shoulders,  and  a  powerful  back  and  loins.  He  is  not  a  heavy 
horse,  and  appears  formed  more  on  symmetrical  than  sub- 
stantial lines.  He  is  wonderfully  quick  off  the  mark,  has  a 
rare  turn  of  speed,  and,  as  his  Two  Thousand  victory  proved, 
is  distinctly  a  stayer.  He  made  his  debut  in  the  Woodcote 
Stakes  at  Epsom  last  year,  and  from  the  style  in  which  he  on 
that  occasion  cut  down  Glare  and  Mecca,  he  was  at  once 
voted  a  gem  of  the  first  water.  The  style  in  which  he  won 
the  Coventry  Stakes  at  Ascot,  in  which  he  fairly  smothered 
Bullingdon  and  Arcano,  further  confirmed  his  excellence, 
and  his  victories  in  the  Champagne  Stakes  at  Doncaster  and 
the  Middle  Park  Plate  at  Newmarket  prepared  the  public  for 
his  later  triumphs.  He  is  trained  by  Matthew  Dawson  at 
Exning,  near  Newmarket,  and  was  wridden  by  White  in  all 
his  two-year-olds  engagements.  That  jockey,  however,  has 
ceased  to  ride  for  Lord  Rosebery,  and  Watts  steered  him  in 

his  later  engagements.

New  York,  June  7. — The  chief  interest  of  the  day  at  Mor- 
ris Park  was  the  meeting  of  Sir  Walter  and  Banquet  at  a 
|  mile  and  a  half.  The  result  might  have  been  different  had 
:heboy  on  St.  Anthony  been  able  to  keep  him  from  bolting, 
"or  he  had  a  clear  lead  of  fifteen  lengths  when  the  four  horses 
;orned  into  the  stretch,  and  it  was  a  big  lot  of  ground  to  make 
jp,  as  he  was  running  strongly,  when  he  made  a  rush  for  the 
)pposite  side  of  the  track. 

Sir  Walter  won  finally  by  a  scant  length  from  Banquet, 
vho  had  been  driven  with  whip  and  spur  for  more  than  a 
arlong,  and  stood  it  gamely.

Chicago,  June  7. — No  more  just  decision  has  ever  been 
made  by  judges  at  Hawthorne  that  that  which  gave  the  third 
race  to-day,  a  mile  dash,  to  the  horse  Dungarven,  but  it 
caused  a  scene  seldom  witnessed  in  the  betting  ring.  By  the 
time  the  man  who  calls  the  results  to  the  bookmakers  had 
reached  the  place  a  crowd  had  surged  into  the  arena.  The 
employe  had  scarcely  uttered  the  name  Dungarven  when  the 
mob  set  up  a  shout  of  protest  and  for  five  minutes  prevented 
the  man  from  making  the  announcement  of  the  result.  Corri- 
gan  entered  the  ring  and  sought  to  restore  quiet  through 
striking  one  man  in  the  face  with  his  fist. 

The  race  which  caused  the  scene  resulted  in  a  fine  finish. 
Jack  Richlieu  led  to  the  stretch,  where  Oakwood  and  Dun- 
garven came  up,  and  the  three  fought  it  out  desperately.  In 
the  final  strides  Dungarven  stretched  himself  and  pushed  his 
nose  past  the  winning  line  first.  Oakwood  was  second,  a 
short  half  length  in  front  of  Jack  Richlieu,  third. 

Of  thesix  races  only  two  were  taken  by  favorites.  Fifteen 
two-year-olds  lined  op  for  the  first  race.  For  two  furlongs 
Elano  led,  and  then  Corrigan's  Charley  Weber  shot  out  and 
won  handily  at  6  to  1.  Red  Top,  the  7-to-5  favorite,  was  sec- 
ond and  Bandmaster  third.  Four  starters  appeared  for  the 
handicap,  at  six  furlongs.  Mockahi  took  the  lead,  but  at  the 
half  resigned  it  to  Elva,  who  held  the  advantage  to  the  end. 
Loudon  secured  the  place,  with  the  favorite,  St.  Croix,  third. 
Ben  Avon  and  Rapidan  alternated  in  leading  in  the  mile- 
and-a-quarter  event,  but  were  not  at  any  stage  of  tbe  race  par- 
ticularly dangerous.  The  three  which  were  considered  "in  it" 
came  on  in  the  stretch  and  finished — Joe  Murphy  first,  Pat 
Malloy  Jr.  second  and  Bessie  Bisland  third. 

Seventeen  of  all  ages  came  out  for  the  fifth  race.  Lengthy 
Dickerson  took  the  lead,  but  gave  way  at  the  half  to  Robin 
Hood.  Straightening  out  for  the  home  run,  Maryland, 
quoted  at  15  to  1,  lengthened  her  stride  and  came  m  an  easy 
winner.  Bismarck  and  Sprite  made  a  brush  for  place,  which 
Bismarck  took  by  half  a  length.  Imported  Percy  was  a 
strong  favorite  for  the  last  race,  another  six-furlong  event.  In 
a  close  finish  George  F.  Smith  won,  with  Percy  second  and 
Amelia  May  third.    The  time,  1:16},  was  good  for  the  track. 

Half  mile — Charley  Weber  won,  Red  Top  second,  Band- 
master third.     Time,  0:514.

Old    Freeland   on   the    Stage. 

The  grand  old  racehorse,  Freeland,  has  been  purchased  by 
the  Derby  Winner  Association,  and  he  will  appear  in  the 
play  entitled  "  The  Derby  Winner  "  the  coming  winter,  says 
the  St,  Louis  Sporting  News.  On  Monday  last,  Mr  L.  A. 
Cella,  President  of  the  Madison  Turf  Association,  purchased 
La  Cigale  for  the  Derby  Winner  Association,  and  she  will 
be  the  Derby  Winner  in  the  play  of  that  dame.  La  Cigale 
is  by  Troubadour,  dam  Ellen  Alice,  and  is  pronounced  by 
those  who  ought  to  know,  to  be  the  handsomest  race  mare  in 
America.  She  and  old  Freeland  will  both  be  gre3t  cards 
while  with  the  Derby  Winner  Company.  Freeland,  it  will 
be  remembered,  was  for  a  long  time  the  property  of  Ed  Cor- 
rigan,  and  it  was  while  Corrigan  owned  him  tbat  Dick  Carey 
of  Chicago,  wrote  of  the  old  horse,  and  called  him  "The 
grandest  racehorse  in  all  the  land."  It  came  about  in  thi 
way:  Old  Freeland  had  done  a  whole  lot  of  good  work  and 
there  came  a  rumor  up  from  Kentucky  tbat  being  broken 
down  and  being  unable  to  do  any  more  work  on  the  flat,  Cor- 
rigan intended  to  send  Freeland  over  tbe  timber.  The  an- 
nouncement that  Corrigan  intended  doing  such  a  thing  with 
a  horse  who  had  won  a  fortune  for  him  created  intense  dis- 
gust in  many  quarters  and  especially  in  Chicago,  and  it  was 
while  the  sentiment  was  at  its  height  that  Dick  Carey  wrote 
these  lines: 

"  They  are  schooling  Freeland  over  the  timber, 
Over  the  fences  and  walls  of  stone. 

My  heart  flames  ap  like  a  dying  ember 
That  burns  in  the  darkness  all  alone  ; 

And  I  fancy  again,  as  I  sit  here  dreaming, 
I  hear  the  cheers  from  the  crowded  stand, 

As  they  hailed  him  there  in  the  sunlight  gleaminy. 
The  grandest  race-horse  in  all  the  land." 

Carey  also  wrote  of  Freeland,  when  the  latter  ran  against 
Miss  Woodford  at  Long  Branch.  That  race  came  about  in' 
this  way :  Freeland  and  Miss  Woodford  had  often  met  on 
the  turf  and  Freeland  had  frequently  beaten  the  mare.  It 
was  after  one  of  these  defeats  that  Phil  Dwyer  said  tbat  Free- 
land  had  won  only  because  the  boy  who  rode  his  mare  had 
pulled  her.  Ed.  Corrigan  said  to  Dwyer  :  "  You  think  your 
boy  pulled  your  mare  do  you  ?  Well,  if  you  think  that  way, 
I  will  bet  $20,000  that  Freeland  can  beat  her  any  day  of  the 
week."  Dwyer,  not  to  be  bluffed,  accepted  the  wager,  and 
one  day  down  by  the  sounding  sea,  Freeland  and  Miss  Wood- 
ford raced  for  a  stake  of  $40,000.  Isaac  Murphy  rode  Free- 
land  and  Jimmie  McLaughlin  had  the  mount  on  the  brown 
mare.  It  was  a  great  race.  That  race  went  down  in  turf 
history,  and  Carey  wrote  of  it  in  poetry.  The  last  verse  of 
his  famous  poem  entitled  "  Ike  Murphy's  Ride,"  is  as 
follows  : 

"  You  know  the  rest  in  the  books  you  have  read       ^ 

How  McLaughlin  kept  the  brown  mare  ahead, 
Till  Freeland  came  with  a  sudden  dart 

At  the  finish,  and  Isaac  proved  too  smart 
For  the  Dwyers'  jock  ;  how  at  the  last 

He  nailed  him  just  as  the  post  was  passed. 
Oh.  I  tell  you  it  was  a  close-run  race. 

And  it  gave  to  Murphy  the  pride  of  place." 

The  roast  of  Corrigan  for  talking  of  putting  old  Freeland 
over  the  sticks  deterred  him  from  doing  anything  of  the  kind, 
and  for  a  long  while  he  drove  old  Freeland  to  his  buggy. 
Then  he  gave  him  to  a  friend  who  it  was  said  had  promised 
to  let  the  old  horse  remain  on  pasture  the  balance  of  his 
natural  life.  A  few  months  ago  a  Kentucky  turfman  took 
old  Freeland  up,  brought  bim  to  East  St.  Louis  and  an- 
nounced that  the  old  horse  was  as  good  as  ever,  and  said  that 
he  was  going  to  race  him  over  that  track.  The  East  St.  Louis 
Club  officials  objected  to  this  sort  of  thing,  however,  and  then 
the  gentleman  who  had  the  horse  brought  him  over  to  the 
South  Side  track,  but  the  South  Side  folks  also  refused  to 
allow  the  horse  to  start  there.  The  man  who  bad  Freeland 
in  charge  offered  him  for  sale,  and  he  was  bought  up  by  the 
Derby  Winner  Association.  It  is  the  intention  of  the  Derby 
Winner  Company  to  have  Isaac  Murphy  travel  with  the 
play  and  ride  old  Freeland  in  it.  The  two  will  make  the 
most  historical  picture  on  the  American  stage.  Murphy  in 
his  day  was  the  king  rider,  and  as  Carey  said  in  his  poem,  old 
Freeland  was  the  grandest  race  horse  in  all  the  land.  The 
Derby  winner  Association  have  put  old  Freeland  out  on  a 
farm  near  St.  Louis,  and  will  keep  him  there  until  Saturday 
night,  August  2oth,  when  the  old  horse  and  Isaac  Murphy 
will  make  their  debut  on  the  stage  of  the  Grand  Opera  House 
in  this  city.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


The  Los  Gatos  Driving  Associatioo  is  thinking  of  giving 
a  racing  event  July  4th. 

The  Judge  says:  "A  man   who  really  loves  horses  and 
dogs,  loves  women  and  children  next." 

Belle  Akchkr,  2:12},  is  being  jogged  everyday  at  Nash- 
ville.   She  will  be  raced  again  this  year. 

Geo.  Locke  has  a  number  of  good  ones  in  his  siring  of 
Santa  Rosa-bred  trotters  at  the  track  at  Petaluma. 


Erma,  4,  2:25A,  by  Director,  has  been  added  to  W.  M. 
Byington's  Chicago  Training   Farm  Siable,  at  Elinhurst,  111. 

C.  L.  Taylor,  formerly  superintendent  of  the  training 
stable  belonging  to  Jesse  D.  Carr,  has  removed  to  Sacramento. 

Lord  Byron,  2:17,  beat  the  ringer  Nellv  Kneebs  in  a 
match  for  $l,000aside  at  Berlin,  West  End,  May  2nd;  best 
lime,  2:20.  

The  Board  of  Health  of  San  Francisco  has  dispensed  with 
the  services  of  the  veterinary  surgeon  Dr.  Creely,  so  Mayor 
Ellertsays.  

The  recent  heavy  June  rains  have  destroyed  thousands  of 
tons  of  hay  iu  this  State,  although  the  growing  grain  crops 
have  been  benefited.         

Diablo,  2:09},  is  one  of  the  entries  to  the  Woodland  Fair 
races.  Wonder  if  he  will  lower  his  mark  which  he  made  at 
that  track  last  year? 

Ben  Corbitt,  2:21,  will  be  seen  on  the  circuit  this  year. 
J.  E.  McCoy,  his  owner,  has  every  reason  to  believe  this 
horse  will  lower  his  record. 


C.  H.  Corey,  of  San  Jose,  will  be  seen  in  the  sulky  this 
year  behind  some  fast  pacers  and  trotters  by  his  game  pacing 
stallion,  Almont  Patchen,  2:15. 

The  last  combination  sale  held  in  this  city  Tuesday, 
should  convince  horse  owners  that  the  horse  market  in  this 
city  is  pretty  well  overstocked. 

Five  pacers  have  so  far  this  season  secured  marks  slower 
than  2:25  and  better  than  2:30,  but  only  three  have  acquired 
standard  rank  by  pacing  in  2:25  or  better. 

Roleo,  2:231,  by  Nephew,  won  the  prize  for  four-year-old 
trotting  stallions  at  the  recent  horse  show  of  the  Livingston 
County  Agricultural  Society,  held  at  Geneseo,  N.  Y. 

The  American  trotting  horse  is  becoming  popular  in  Italy. 
Of  the  893  private  stallions  in  that  country  which  were  ap- 
proved by  the  official  inspectors,  seventeen  were  American. 

Colonel  Fryat,  of  Woodland,  is  seriously  contemplat- 
ing getting  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  ready  next  year 
for  the  races.  It  is  too  late  to  get  the  right  material  this  season. 

John  Groom,  the  well  known  trainer,  formerly  superin- 
tendent of  the  Souther  Farm,  is  handling  a  big  string  of 
trotters  and  pacers  at  the  Heilbron  Stock  Farm,  Wildflower, 
Fresno  county. 

The  great  sale  of  Palo  Alto  trotters  has  been  postponed 
from  the  20th  to  the  27th  of  June.  Tne  reason  given  for  the 
postponement  is  that  on  the  20th  of  last  June  Senator  Stan- 
ford passed  away. 

Fifteen  years  ago  Monroe  Salisbury  owned,  with  his 
partners,  5,000  head  of  horses.  It  is  safe  to  say  that  he  dhi 
not  feel  as  much  pride  in  them  all  as  he  does  in  Direct  and 
his  colts  and  fillies. 


The  track  at  Melrose,  Alameda  county,  is  well  patronized. 
Every  morning,  from  ten  to  fifteen  well-known  young  gentle- 
men from  Alameda  may  be  seen  jogging  their  colls  and  fillies 
over  its  smooth  surface. 

It  is  said  that  the  heavy  floods  in  and  around  Portland 
during  the  past  week  will  seriously  affect  the  race  meeting.  It 
is  hoped,  however,  that  the  reports  of  the  damage  there  are 
very  much  exaggerated. 

Geo.  W.  Woodakd  is  having  about  a  dozen  new  Buttons 
prepared  to  fill  holes  in  the  2:30  list  this  season.  One  ex- 
cellent thing  about  these  Buttons — they  are  noted  for  their 
staying  and  lasting  qualities. 

Th  ere  never  was  so  little  sickness  among  the  youngsters  at 
Palo  Alto  as  at  present.  All  of  the  colts  and  fillies  are  taking 
their  daily  exercise  with  an  ambition  to  do  their  very  best, 
which  is  encouraging,  to  say  the  least. 

\\\m.  Doxatii  an  will  be  seen  on  the  California  circuit  this 
year  behind  some  pacers  and  trotters  he  has  at  San  Jose.  His 
experience  with  the  bang-tails,  like  that  of  many  other  trot- 
ting horse  trainers,  has  not  been  a  happy  one. 

Pat  Fa&BELL  has  a  number  of  very  promising  trotters  and 
pacers  belonging  to  (ieneml  P.  W.  Murphy,  of  Santa  Mar- 
garita. They  are  exercised  on  the  Hpeed  track  in  the  Golden 
*  iate  Park,  and  will  appear  on  the  circuit  this  year. 

W.  WOOD,  2:08),  the  game  pacing  gelding,  is  better  physi- 
rally  this  year  than  he  has  ever  been,  and  Millard  Sanders  is 
charmed  with  the  way  he  is  moving.  He  has  had  no  hard 
work  >et,  but  is  slowly  being  prepared  for  his  race  this  fail. 

PB1KCE8S,  2:19$,  the  gray  daughter  of  Woolsey  and  Oak- 
LiiiH  Maid,  2:22,  dropped  a  beautiful  bay  filly  bv  Yasto,  the 
■v.  II  bred  premier  nullion  of  the  Sonoma  Stock  Farm  on  the 
24th  of  May.  Senator  Fair  will  be  pleased  when  he  sees  this 
one. 

An  association  to  construct  a  race  track  in  Santa  Cruz  is  to 
be  organized.  Ten  citizens  have  already  subscribed  $2,000. 
1 1  will  he  m*<:essary  to  raise  about  $1,000.  The  track  will  be 
a  mile  long,  with  a  bicycle  track  and  baseball  grounds  in  the 
enclosure. 


The  dam  of  the  two-year-old  colt  Directly,  that  Monroe 
Salisbury  senl  with  ten  others  to  Denver  last  week,  was  by 
Naubuc,  out  of  a  mare  by  Meese's  Ht.  Lawrence,  a  horse  that 
was  owned  by  D.  Meese  near  Danville,  Contra  Costa  county, 
many  years  ago. 


R.  D.  Crawfroth  hasa  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  at  the 
Petaluma  track  consisting  of  Vasto,  Lizzie  R,  by  Anteeo; 
Secret,  2:26£,  by  Secretary;  Spotless,  by  Leo  Wilkes;  Veoio, 
by  Advenio'and  Antarees,  2:294,  by  Anteeo.  All  of  them 
are  doing  well.  

At  Rancho  Cotati  there  is  an  Eclectic  colt  out  of  Reinette, 
by  Dexter  Prince;  second  dam  by  Nutwood,  2:18|,  that  is  a 
second  Arion.  He  is  well-formed,  strongly- muscled  and  one 
of  the  most  perfectly  gaited  yearlings  "we  have  seen  this  year. 
His  blood  lines  are  of  the  best. 

Vends  (the  dam  of  Lea,  2:27$,  Adonis  (p),  2:11*,  and 
Cupid,  2:18),  is  by  Venture,  2:27£,  second  dam  by  Skenan- 
doah  926,  so  we  are  informed  by  several  horsemen  who  have 
been  searching  for  the  true  breeding  of  this  wonderful  mare. 
She  is  now  in  foal  to  Diablo,  2:09J. 


Arion  joined  the Doble stable  Thursday.  In  thesamecar 
Mr.  Doble  received  from  Mrs.  R.  C.  Noyes,  of  Boston,  the 
eight-year-old  mare  Lady  Nelson,  2:25,  by  Nelson.  Arion 
never  looked  better  and  is  in  splendid  form  to  keep  his 
preparatory  work  for  the  season's  campaign. 

Pilot  Jr.  left  more  daughters  that  were  successful  pro- 
ducers than  any  horse  of  his  day,  and  his  name  will  be  kept 
green  by  the  produce  of  his  daughters.  The  greatest  living 
sire  and  the  fastest  gelding  by  the  records  at  both  gaits,  are 
out  of  daughters  of  Pilot  Jr., after  thirty  years. 

J.  L.  McCoed,  of  Sacramento,  who  was  stricken  with 
paralysis  a  few  months  ago,  has  given  up  all  hope  of  ever 
driving  in  races  again.  On  his  stock  farm  at  Sunny  Knoll 
he  has  a  splendid  collection  of  choice  trotters  and  pacers 
which  he  intends  to  have  handled  and  sold  next  fall  or 
spring. 

"Willows  will  have  a  meeting  this  year,  and  a  good  one 
too,  notwithstanding  the  report  circulated  to  the  contrary. 
By  reference  to  our  advertising  columns  it  will  be  observed 
that  this  thriving  city  will  hold  a  meeting  that  in  every  re- 
spect will  compare  favorably  with  those  given  in  any  other 
part  of  California. 

A  little  tar  with  a  few  drops  of  carbolic  acid  added,  rub- 
bed beneath  the  under  jaw  and  upon  the  breasts  of  colts  that 
run  in  pastures  bordered  by  swamps  or  woods,  will  prevent  a 
great  deal  of  annoyance  from  mosquitos  and  small  flies, 
which  sometimes  bite  the  parts  named  urjtil  tbey  are  a  solid 
blotch  of  small  sores. 

While  Cy.  Mulkey  has  been  fitting  the  string  of  great 
thoroughbreds  belonging  to  A.  B-  Spreckels  to  take  a  front 
rank  among  the  winners  at  the  Bay  District  track,  James 
Nolan  has  been  working  just  as  hard  preparing  the  trotters 
and  pacers  belonging  to  the  same  gentleman  at  the  Oakland 
track  for  the  fall  races. 

John  Rooers,  the  trainer  at  the  San  Mateo  Stock  Farm, 
is  handling  a  string  of  young  trotters  for  the  California  cir- 
cuit. Among  them  is  a  bay  colt  by  Regal  Wilkes  that  has 
earned  the  sobriquet  Last  Chance,  because  it  will  be  his  last 
chance  to  get  in  the  2:30  list.  If  he  does  not  trot  fast  enough 
this  year,  he  never  will. 

Thos.  Snider,  the  well-Known  Sacramento  horseman,  has 
strong  hopes  that  he  will  have  the  game  trotting  gelding 
Dubec  ready  for  the  races  late  in  the  season.  If  he  can  patch 
up  that  horse  he  is  entitled  to  rank  with  such  great  con- 
ditioners as  GeorgeStarr,  EdGeers  or  Robbins  (Bone  Doc- 
tor), the  famous  thoroughbred  trainer. 

There  is  a  filly  by  Richards'  Elector,  out  of  Moor  Maid, 
bv  The  Moor,  at  the  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm,  that  surprises 
the  boys  every  time  she  is  given  her  head  on  the  race  track 
there.  Mr.  Pierce  wisely  concluded  after  seeing  her  move 
that  the  dam  should  hereafter  be  bred  to  Richard's  Elector, 
so  he  shipped  her  to  Grayson  a  few  weeks  ago. 

Beaurv  Mc\,  2:14},  the  game-trotting  gelding,  is  basking 
in  the  sunshine  at  Jas.  Sutherland's  stock  farm  near  Pleas- 
anton.  For  the  past  two  years  John  Treadwell,  the  owner  of 
this  'ine  trotter,  has  had  the  very  best  care  taken  of  him. 
It  is  a  question,  however,  if  Beaury  will  ever  be  able  to  re- 
pay his  master  for  all  the  kindnesses  shown  him  for  he  is  al- 
most a  "  confirmed  invalid." 


Jas.  Dustin  and  T.  Bonner  are  handling  a  number  of  good 
colts  and  fillies  at  Pierce's  Santa  Rosa  Stock  Farm.  One  of 
the  youngsters  is  Sidney  Dillon  (full  brother  to  Adonis, 
2:11.},  and  Cupid,  2:18),  being  by  Sidney,  out  of  Venus,  by 
Venture,  2:27£.  He  is  the  handsomest  formed  and  fastest 
going  youngster  ever  seen  at  the  track,  and  Jim  Dustin  is 
head  and  heels  in  love  with  him. 


Smutty  oats  should  never  be  fed  to  horses.  A  bulletin  of 
the  Idaho  experimental  station  treats  of  this  subject,  and  of 
the  method  of  removing  the  smut  from  the  grain.  This  is 
done  by  treating  the  oats  to  a  bath  of  hot  water  (130  to  140 
degrees),  the  Michigan  method.  This  destroys  the  vitality 
of  one  seed  without  injuring  the  other.  In  Idaho  the  past 
year  one-fifth  of  the  oat  crop  was  destroyed  by  smut. 


Mi;.  J.  S.  Antiiim,  of  Dayton,  O.,  the  owner  of  the  fast 
four-year-old  Wilton  colt,  Wilmarch,  2:17],  has  offered  his 
trainer  and  caretaker  $1,000  if  they  give  the  colt  a  record  of 
2:10  this  year.  The  fact  that  he  is  going  quarters  in  thirty- 
four  seconds  and  better  would  indicate  that  "  the  boys  "  are 
out  to  win  the  stuff.  The  colt  is  very  fast  and  will  without 
doubt  be  one  of  the  starters  in  the  Terre  Haute  Fair's  four- 
year-old  purse. 

'I'm  E  idea  of  holding  a  horse  show  in  connection  with  the 
great  equestrian  exhibition  which  is  to  mark  the  close  of  the 
Midwinter  Fair  has  been  abandoned.  The  leading  horses 
(thoroughbreds  and  trotters)  will  be  closing  their  stud  seasons 
on  the  first  of  July  and  could  not  be  put  iu  show  con- 
dition in  time  for  such  an  exhibition  ;  besides,  there  will  be  a 
regular  horse  show  in  November  which  will  be  devoted  es-

The  experience  of  several  owners  of  horses  about  town 
ought  to  make  people  careful  about  feeding  green  alfalfa  hay 
to  stock,  says  a  country  exchange.  We  know  of  two  or  three 
horse*  that  have  bloated  anil  died  within  h  day  or  two  after 
eating  a  heavy  feed  of  alfalfa  within  the  past  two  weeks,  in 
spite  of  all  the  remedies  known  to  veterinary  surgeons.  If 
fi'd  :i  little  at  a  time  till  the  animals  become  accustomed  to  it 
there  is  no  danger,  thr  ugh  there  are  some  horses  that  do  not 
thrive  on  it,  It  is  usually  Home  high-prized  family  horse 
that  is  the  victim. 


Major  Alex.  Waugh  (Grim),  formerly  editor  of  this 
journal,  has  accepted  the  position  of  presiding  judge  for  the 
races  at  Portland.  No  better  appointment  could  be  made.  H. 
D.  Brown,  the  starter,  who  is  giving,  such  satisfaction  to  the 
management  and  the  public  at  the  Bay  District  track  has 
been  appointed  to  wield  the  flag  at  the  meeting  there. 

Geo.  H.  Fox,  of  Angels  Camp,  Calaveras  county,  intended 
to  take  Calaveras  and  a  number  of  other  promising  colts  and 
fillies  he  has  at  Oakland  to  his  home  and  turn  them  out,  but 
at  the  earnest  solicitation  of  a  number  of  his  friends,  he 
changed  his  mind,  and  is  pleased  now  that  he  did  so,  for 
every  one  that  he  has  in  training  is  doing  remarkably  well. 


The  Twenty-eighth  District  Agricultural  Fair  is  to  be 
held  at  Colton,  not  San  Bernardino,  as  at  first  intended  and 
announced,  and  the  dates  are  July  31st  and  August  1st  and 
2d.  The  change  was  made  because  San  Bernardino  did  not 
take  any  interest  in  the  matter,  and  Colton  did.  The  Pavil- 
ion company  gave  a  year's  rent,  $500,and  the  citizens  agreed 
to  do  work  and  furnish  material  to  the  amount  of  $250. 

Our  horsemen  and  the  directors  of  this  Agricultural  Asso- 
ciation will  have  a  week  of  races  here  regardless  of  any  other 
town.  They  propose  to  offer  large  purses,  and  think  of  hav- 
ing nothing  but  running  races.  If  they  conclude  to  have 
running  races  only,  it  will  draw  the  largest  crowd  of  horses 
and  horsemen  here  that  ever  met  in  this  part  of  the  State. — 
Willows  Journal. 

Jesse  Grant  is  as  great  a  lover  of  a  good  horse  as  his 
distinguished  father.  He  is  a  regular  visitor  to  the  track  at 
Pleasanton  and  takes  great  delight  in  watching  the  trotters 
and  pacers  as  they  are  being  prepared  on  that  course  for  their 
Eastern  engagements.  He  is  just  as  quiet,  modest  and  unob- 
trusive as  his  father  and  has  all  his  mental  and  physical 
traits.  It  is  believed  he  will  spend  the  greater  part  of  the 
summer  in  this  charming  place.

Professor  McFadyean,  the  leading  veterinary  bacteri- 
ologist in  Britain,  states  that,  although  most  British  veter- 
inary authors  desoribe  the  equine  species  as  unsusceptible  to 
tuberculosis,  during  the  past  year  no  fewer  than  ten  cases  in 
the  horse  have  come  under  his  observation  iu  the  Research 
Laboratory  of  the  Royal  Veterinary  College  in  London.  "In 
the  past,"  he  says,  "  the  lesions  of  this  disease  in  the  horse 
have  generally  been  confounded  with  those  of  glanders  or 
cancer." 

John  W.  Garner,  of  Los  Angeles,  was  much  amused  over 
the  story  of  how  Monroe  Salisbury  bred  his  mares  so  as  to  get 


extreme  speed,  and  cites  an  instance  where  he  was  striving 
for  the  same  object.  He  purchased  Mollie  Blue  Bull,  trial 
2:27,  and  bred  her  to  McKinney,  2:11,  and  the  resultant  foal 
was  a  filly,  a  pacer.  She  was  very  fast,  but  met  with  an  acci- 
dent as  a  two-year-old,  and  Mr.  Garner  bred  her  to  Silkwood, 
2:0S£,  and  now  he  has  a  pacer,  black  as  ink,  and  the  pride  of 
Los  Angeles. 

Rowena,  2:19},  by  Azmoor,  2:20^,  out  |of  Emma  Robson. 
by  Woodburn,  second  dam  Lady  Belle,  by  Belmont,  was  bred 
this  year  to  Altivo,  full  brother  to  Palo  Alto,  2:08iJ.  The  pro- 
duce will  be  a  representative  of  some  strong  thoroughbred 
families — Woodburn,  Planet,  imp.  Hercules,  Williamson's 
Belmont  and  his  son  Langford.  On  the  sire's  side  it  will 
trace  to  but  one  trotting  sire,  and  that  one  is  Electioneer. 
Palo  Alto,  although  rightly  entitled  to  that  honor,  is  also 
mentioned,  but  his  sire  is  Electioneer.

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  Directors  the  Tehama  County 
Agricultural  Association,  E.  C.  Fortier,  J.  W.  Frabk,  J.  R. 
Thuresson  and  H.  C.  Wietfeldt  were  appointed  a  canvassing 
committee  to  secure  subscriptions  for  the  fair.  Paul  St  oil, 
Maj.  G.  G.  Kimball  and  John  Clements  were  appointed  to 
take  charge  of  the  pavilion.  E.  C.  Fortier  and  H.  C.  Wiet- 
feldt were  appointed  a  committee  on  music.  Mr.  Roller's 
offer  to  construct  coops  for  poultry  at  the  race  track  without 
expense  to  the  association  if  materials  were  furnished  him 
was  accepted.  The  directors  meet  again  next  Saturdiy  even- 
ing.—Red  Bluff  News.     

In  Mr.  Hickok's  car,  which  arrived  at  Terre  Haute  on  the 
27th  from  California,  were  /ournares  and  colts  for  Edgewood 
Farm.  They  were  the  bay  mare  Eva,  2:23£,  by  Sultan,  dam 
the  great  broodmare,  Minnehaha;  a  suckling  filly  by  Guy 
Wilkes,  out  of  Eva ;  the  brown  mare  Alarba,  by  Sultan,  dam 
Cora,  by  Buccaneer,  and  a  yearling  colt  by  Guy  Wilkes,  out 
of  Alarba.  Yesterday  was  the  first  time  anyone  at  Edgewood 
had  ever  seen  any  of  the  lot,  although  Eva  had  been  the 
property  of  the  farm  seven  years,  having  been  purchased  for 
it  by  Knapsack  McCarthy  when  he  was  wintering  in  Cali- 
fornia. Eva's  colts  are  all  fast  and  good  headed.  The  farm 
lias  two  of  her  fillies  by  Guy  Wilkes,  a  two  and  three-year- 
old  in  Tom  Dickersou's  stable  that  are  of  the  highest  class. 
Her  first  colt,  Voodoo, by  Stamboul,as  a  two-year-old,brought 
$14,000  on  the  auction  block  Two  of  her  fillies,  Gazelle 
and  Gabriel,  bv  Guy  Wilkes.as  two  and  three-vear  olds,  were 
sold  to  H.  S.  Henry"  of  Philadelphia,  for  $5,000  each.  In  a 
letter  to  the  farm  Mr.  Corbitt,  owner  of  Guy  Wilkes,  makes 
the  statement  that  the  yearling  Alarba  colt  is  the  best  trotter 
that  has  ever  left  his  farm.  On  his  arrival  he  was  put  in 
Tom  Dickerson's  stable  and  "  Uncle  Tom  "  will  teach  him 
how  to  get  the  money. — Terre  Haute  Express.

THE  SADDLE. 


Zobair  has  gone  back  badly,  and  will  probably  be  given  a 
good  let-up.  

Jack  Chinn   is  receiving  a  great  amount  of  newspaper 
notoriety  which  must  be  very  annoying  for  him  to  read. 


Fly  was  run  up  to  $700  Wednesday,  $200  over  his  entered 
selling  price,  R.  Stipe  securing  the  Hall  gelding. 

Jennie  Deane  ran  in  the  colors  of  her  new  controllers 
Wednesday — those  of  Hoag  &  Little,  of  the  California  Stable. 

Atjteutl  is  one  of  the  best  $300  horses  at  the  local  course. 
He  has  certainly  returned  to  something  like  bis  two-year-old 
form. 

Steve  Rafour,  who  had  his  leg  broken  when  riding  Com- 
rade at  the  local  course  many  months  ago,  made  his  reappear- 
ance here  in  the  baddle  Wednesday,  riding  Bronco  in  the  last 
race.  

The  races  at  Brighton  Beach  began  on  May  30th  with  an  at- 
tendance of  7,000.  Silverado,  a  Baldwin  cast-off,  won  a  mile 
race  with  odds  of  b'  to  1  against  him.  There  was  a  6eld  of 
fourteen. 

Bobolink  was  an  easy  winner  Tuesday.  The  Brutus 
colts  from  the  stoutly-bred  Boots  mares  seem  to  like  a  distance 
of  ground.  Brutus  himself  was  as  game  as  a  pebble,  and 
could  stay.  

John  F.  Boyd,  proprietor  of  the  Oakwood  Park  Stock 
Farm,  sent  the  three  choice  thoroughbred  mares  he  owns 
over  to  Flosden  to  be  bred  to  St.  Saviour.  The  produce  will 
be  valuable. 

Secure  a  copy  of  that  valuable  publication  "The  Turf 
Guide"  before  it  is  too  late.  Only  $1  a  copy.  No  follower 
of  the  race  horses  or  student  of  form  can  afford  to  be  without 
a  copy.     See  advertisement. 

Frank  Van  Ness'  small  but  select  string  goes  to  Chicago 
in  a  few  days.  In  the  lot  will  be  Mainstay,  De  Bracy,  Mon- 
terey and  the  great  Morello._  The  lalter  is  now  sojourniog  at 
J.  B.  Haggin's  Rancho  del  Paso. 

B.  C.  Holly  will  take  a  rest  from  Ibe  cares  of  the  turf 
until  some  time  next  fall,  in  all  probability,  when  it  is  likely 
he  will  return  to  the  turfmen's  fold  better  fortified  than  ever 
for  a  successful  racing  campaign. 

Messrs.  Hoag  &  Little,  of  the  California  Stable,  have 
leased  of  Charles  Kerr,  the  Bakersfield  turfman,  the 
three-year-old  fillies,  Jennie  Deane  and  Promise,  and  will 
take  them  to  Montana  in  a  few  days. 


The  California  bred  thoroughbreds  that  have  gone  East 
are  making  as  famous  reputations  as  the  trotters  that  left  this 
slope.  Buyers  will  be  coming  here  nest  year  to  make  se- 
lections on  our  stock  farms  for  choice  ones. 


It  is  extremelv  questionable  whether  any  animal  in  this 
country  can  take  up  its  entitled  weight  for  age  and  beat  Lot- 
tie D.  four  and  a  half  furlongs.      It  is  her  game,  and  it  is  not 
:i    at  all  certain  that  128  or  130  pounds  would  stop  her. 

Charley  Webfr  rode  three  winners  at  Hawthorne  on 
de 28th  of  May,  and  the  Inter-Ocean  says  he  piloted  all  like 
T»a  artist,  and  that  his  ride  on  Despot  was  particularly  good. 
On  the  30th  be  was  on  two  winners,  a  second  and  a  third. 


The  Hankins  and  Johnson  stable  won  two  races  at  Haw- 
thorne Park,  Chicago,  Wednesday,  one  with  Gascon,  the  other 
with  Ragner.  Ed  Corrigan  was  successful  with  Joe  Murphy. 
Barney  Schreiber's  Tbe  Kitten  wtis  third  to  the  Corrigan 
crack.  

Of  S.  McClaine  at  Morris  Park,  Daily  America  and  Mer- 
cury of  May  31st  says  :  "  McClaine,  who  won  on  Rosita,  is  a 
second  edition  of  Pete  Clay.  He  is  a  comical  little  colored 
lad  who,  when  not  in  breeches  and  boots,  wears  knicker- 
bockers." 

The  San  Jose  people  are  said  to  be  very  desirous  of  hav- 
ing a  six  or  seven-day  running  meeting  this  summer,  and  if 
sufficient  inducements  are  offered  it  is  altogether  likely  the 
next  meeting  given  by  tbe  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Asso- 
ciation will  be  in  the  beautiful  Garden  City. 

Horse-owners  and  trainers  who  desire  to  turn  their  horses 

out  onexcallent  pasture  (no  better  in  California)  where  they 

will  becarefuliy  attended  to  should  write  at  once  to  the  Mer- 

riwa  Stock  Farm,  Pleasantoo.      There  are  blue  grass,  alfalfa 

;y    and  Australian  rye  grass  fields  well  fenced  there. 

Zamloch  and  Sport  McAllister,  tbe  brothers  by  imp. 
Friar  Tuck — Twilight,  that  made  their  appearance  here  for 
-he  first  time  Tuesday,  are  grand-looking  colts,  and  ran  well. 
Their  dam  (Twilight)  is  not  the  dam  of  the  great  Gloam- 
ing, as  at  first  reported.     That  Twilight  died  in  1888. 

The  very  clever  jockevs,  E.  Jones  and  Jasper  Madison, 
mder  contract  to  ride  for  Frank  Van  Ness,  left  Wednesday  for 
Hawthorne  Park,  Chicago.  Their  employer  left  the  night 
»fore,  went  to  Rancho  del  Paso,  where  Morello  has  been 
holding  sway,  and  loading  the  celebrity  on  board,  proceeded 
i1    >n  hiB  way  to  tbe  windy  city  by  the  big  lake. 

Mayor  Hopkins,  of  Chicago,  has  granted  a  license  to  tbe 
Washington  Park  Club  for  a  twenty-six  days'  meeting.  The 
vay  is  now  clear  before  this  enterprising  association,  and  one 
p-.  if  the  best  meetings  in  its  history  is  just  ahead  of  it.  Mayor 
■'  '  Hopkins  did  not  hesitate  about  granting  the  license,  and  said 
heir  was  no  trouble  in  discriminating  between  tbe  Garfield 
ijlub,  to  whom  be  refused  a  license,  and  the  Washington 
3ark  Club — one  is  a  reputable  association  and  the  other  was 
iot.  

'.  With  heads  facing  each  other  the  great  Longfellow  and 
carcely  less  renowned  TeD  Broeck  are  taken  their  final  rest 

'  a  the  soil  of  the  famous  Nantura  Stock  Farm  in  Woodford 
'ounty,  the  home  of  the  Harpers.  The  grave  of  Ten  Broeck 
t  surrounded  by  a  neat  fence  of  paling,  painted  white  and 
pped  with  green  at  the  top.  The  grave  of  Longfellow  has 
ot  yet  been  inclosed.  Between  these  two  equine  wonders  of 
ie  turf  rises  a  handsome  marble  staff  which  presents  four 
olished  Bides  for  inscriptions.  Jils  J<*hnsou  and  imp.  Ros- 
ington  will  doubtless,  when  their  time  comes,  complete  the 

,  uadruple  grave.  As  yet  the  marble  shaft  contains  but  one 
ascription,  and  that  recounts  the  birth,  performances  aud 
eath  of  Ten  Broeck,  who  beat  Longfellow  to  the  tomb. 


Gen.  Jackson  has  good  reasons  for  self  congratulation 
upon  the  splendid  average  of  the  Belie  Meade  yearlings,  at 
New  York,  last  week.  In  such  times  as  these  an  average  of 
$1,262  for  sixty-eight  head  of  yearlings  is  a  remarkable  sale, 
and  is  a  stronger  testimonial  to  the  quality  of  the  Belle 
Meade  stock  than  anv  other  that  could  be  offered. 


Domino  has  a  little  sister  out  at  Major  Thomas'  stock 
farm,  who  made  her  appearance  one  day  last  week.  She  is 
said  to  be  a  handsome  filly,  [and  should  she  do  well,  a  year 
from  now,  New  York  turfmen  will  be  tumbling  over  each 
other  in  their  efforts  to  buy  her.  This  is  the  fifth  foal  that 
Mannie  Gray  has  thrown  without  missing  a  year. 

The  following  horses  in  the  Hankins  &  Johnson  string  are 
at  Hawthorne  Park,  Chicago :  Rudolph,  Gascon,  McBeth, 
Loudon,  Evanatus,  Revolver,  Jacobin,  Forerunner,  Roslyn 
and  Ragner  in  the  elder  division;  Darton,  Sylvan,  three-year- 
olds,  and  John  Cycha,  Marie  Woodlands,  Dalibard,  Wood- 
light,  Blackball,  Walkover,  Diggs,  Outga  and  Claudie,  two- 
year-olds. 

The  thoroughbred  stallion,  Powhattan,  died  at  the  Wood- 
burn  Stud  on  '  ay  8th.  He  was  sired  by  imp.  Leamington 
and  out  of  Maiden, by  Lexington, hence  a  full  brother  to  Parole. 
He  was  foaled  In  1879,  and  started  in  but  one  race,  in  which 
he  met  with  an  accident  and  was  retired  to  (he  stud.  Powhat- 
tan has  sired  several  good  racehorses,  the  best  of  which  was 
Burlington. 

Though  "  Uncle  Bob  "  makes  a  trip  to  New  York  from 
Belle  Meade  every  year,  he  has  never  become  quite  accus- 
tomed to  city  folks.  While  he  was  at  the  American  Horse 
Exchange  recently,  Fred  Ashenden  drove  out  of  the  yard  in 
a  very  neat  tandem  cart.  Uncle  Bob's  face  took  on  an  expres- 
sion of  intense  surprise.  He  walked  up  to  a  gentleman  con- 
nected with  the  place,  and  in  a  mysterious  tone  asked  :  "  Wat 
dat  man  want  two  horses  to  pull  dat  little  bit  of  a  kyart  for  ?  " 

It  would  not  be  a  surprise  to  us  if  tbe  famous  black  Aus 
tralian  mile  champion,  Marvel,  was  brought  from  his  Anti- 
podean home  to  San  Francisco  to  race  next  fall.  There  is  one 
man  only  in  America  that  George  Hill  will  sell  him  to,  and 
that  gentleman  is  largely  interested  in  sugar  and  steamships. 
The  sugar  king  can  get  him  for  $15,000,  and  most  people 
that  know  what  the  horse  has  done  on  the  turf  will  consider 
him  a  bargain  at  the  figure.  Marvel  has  taken  up  144  pounds 
and  run  a  mile  over  a  grass  track  in  1:41  J,  and  with  140 
pounds  up  went  the  route  in  1:40|. 

An  extraordinary  episode  in  racing  took  place  on  May  8th 
at  the  Birr  race  course  in  Ireland.  In  the  Stewards'  Plate, 
two  miles,  weight  for  age,  two  horses  came  to  the  post  and 
ran  locked  together  all  the  w?y,  making  a  dead  heat.  Again, 
on  the  second  time  of  asking  the  same  result  occurred,  but 
Mr.  Harty,  the  rider  and  owner  of  one  of  the  dead-heaters, 
collided  after  passing  the  post  against  one  of  the  whip's 
horses,  and  falling,  broke  his  collar  bone.  James  Pbelan  then 
got  the  mount  on  Apollo,  aud  in  the  third  heat,  by  getting 
the  inside  berth  in  the  home  run,  won  by  half  a  length. 
Nerissa  was  the  name  of  the  other  dead-heater. 


The  Scoggan  Brothers  met  with  a  severe  loss  in  the  death 
of  their  stallion  Buchanan,  who  died  June  1st  from  inflam- 
mation of  the  bowels  after  a  sickness  of  only  four  hours.  He 
was  a  chestnut,  thirteen  years  old,  by  imp.  Buckden,  out  of 
Mrs.  Grigsby,  by  Wagner,  and  had  been  standing  at  the  Scog- 
gan farm  near  Louisville  for  the  past  six  years.  There  are 
sixteen  foals  by  bim  on  the  farm  this  season,  the  last  one  be- 
ing a  brother  to  Buckrene  foaled  Sunday  last.  Buchanan 
was  bred  and  raced  by  Capt.  Billy  Cottrell,  winning  the 
Derby  and  Clark  Stakes  at  Louisville  in  1884  for  him.  Many 
of  his  get  have  been  good  performers,  including  such  good 
stake  winners  as  Buck  McCann,  Helen  N.,  Buckrene,  Cal- 
houn and  several  in  the  two-year-old  list. 

Feed  Taral,  who  Is  probably  the  most  popular  jockey  in 
the  world  at  tbe  present  time,  is  careful  of  bis  money  and  do- 
mestic in  his  tastes.  He  owns  a  good  deal  of  real  estate  in 
New  York,  including  a  handsome  bouse  in  which  he  and  his 
family  live,  and  he  has  during  the  past  year  shown  a  de- 
cided inclination  toward  reading  and  study,  which  is  unusual 
in  a  jockey.  Garrison,  who  at  one  lime  caught  the  fancy  of 
the  public,  mainly  through  a  series  of  clever  and  brilliant 
finishes,  goes  in  for  the  other  style  of  living.  He  wears 
gaudy  attire,  an  extraordinary  watch  and  displays  a  profusion 
of  jewelry.  Heis  a  familiar  figure  at  prize  fights  and  other

Latonia  dispatch  to  Daily  America  and  Mercury,  May 
28th  :  "  Isaac  Murphy  was  set  down  for  thirty  days  by  the 
judges  for  being  under  the  influence  of  liquor  while  riding 
Myrtle  in  the  last  race  on  Saturday.  They  decided  on  this 
this  afternoon,  and  it  will  be  a  surprise  to  those  who  saw  Mur- 
phy's good  ride  on  that  filly  when  he  landed  her  second  to 
Kitty  Clive,  a  high-class  youngster.  C.  D.  Chenault,  the 
owner  of  Myrtle,  let  him  ride  his  filly  again  to-day.  If  Mur- 
phy was  drunk  on  Saturday  no  one  but  the  judges  can  have 
been  aware  of  it,  and  it  took  them  forty-eight  hours  to  decide 
what  to  do.  A  local  paper's  erroneous  remarks  on  the  sub- 
ject must  have  induced  them  to  take  this  action.  R.  Wil- 
liams was  also  put  down  for  the  balance  of  the  meeting,  ex- 
cept for  Avondale  Stable,  for  bad  conduct  at  the  post. 

"'  Pa  "  Daly  was  highly  elated  over  Captain  T.'s  victory. 
Some  might  suppose  that  this  was  on  account  of  the  money 
won,  but,  bless  your  heart,  it  was  a  far  different  feeling  that 
made  the  honest  Connecticut  farmer's  heart  throb  with^  joy 
and  his  face  take  on  a  look  that  was  angelic  in  its  sweetness. 
It  was  all  because  of  a  little  boy,  aud  that  was  Keefe,  who 
piloted  Captain  T.  to  victory.  "  Didn't  I  tell  you  I  had  an- 
other great  jockey,"  said  the  man  who  has  improved  the 
breed  of  selling  platers.  "  He's  my  nephew  and  I  don't  mind 
telling  you  that  he  has  the  making  of  a  McLaughlin  and  a 
Garrison  in  him."  This  was  said  with  a  chuckle,  which 
showed  plainly  that  the  pride  of  the  Daly  clan  had  not  yet 
shriveled  in  "Pa's"  breast.  As-  a  matter  of  fact  youDg 
Keefe,  if  he  goes  on  like  he  is  doing  at  present,  will  make  one 
of  the  top  sawyers  of  his  profession.  He  is  quite  |a  young 
boy  and  can  ride  at  eighty-five  pounds.  He  has  already 
mastered  the  habits  of  not  looking  around  or  going  to  the  whip 
as  soon  as  he  strikes  the  homestretch.  Keefe  is  one  of  three 
orphaned  children  that  "Pa  "  took  out  of  a  family  of  seven  to 
raise.  As  young  Keefe  earns  more  money  than  any  of  the 
family  he  is  looked  upon  as  the  breadwinner  of  the  family. —

George  Palm,  tbe  jockey  injured  by  bis  horse  fal!ioff  'at 
the  Darby ville,  O.,  races  in  1890,  and  from  which  he  will 
probably  never  recover,  has  sued  Perry  C.  Thomas,  80ie 
owner  of  the  course,  for  $10,000.  His  petition  is  voluminous 
and  alleges  that  the  horse  stepped  in  a  ditch  running  across 
the  course  and  threw  him  with  great  violence  to  the  ground- 
that  he  was  so  badly  injured  that  bis  life  was  despared  of  and 
he  was  compelled  to  undergo  an  operation  which  saved  his 
life,  but  left  him  a  physical  wreck. 

A  feed-bag  has  been  invented  which  has  pockets  on  the 
sides  for  holding  the  feed.  About  a  third  of  the  grain  to  be 
fed  is  put  in  the  bottom  of  the  bag  and  the  balance  in  the  two 
side  pockets,  in  ihe  lower  end  of  each  of  which  is  a  small 
aperture  through  which  the  grain  passes  automatically  into 
tbe  bag  as  fast  as  its  contents  are  consumed.  When  in  position 
on  the  animal's  head,  his  lips  are  always  within  reaching 
distance  of  the  bottom  of  tbe  bag.  So  Jong  as  the  bottom  is 
covered  to  the  depth  of  an  inch  or  more,  the  grain  in  the  side 
pockets  cannot  flow  in.  The  automatic  method  of  closure 
prevents  the  grain  from  being  tossed  out  bv  the  shaking  of 
the  animal's  head. 

The  prophecy  made  in  the  Courier  Journal  recently  that 
a  fall  race  meeting  would  not  be  attempted  by  the  Louisville 
Jockey  Club  received  confirmation  from  President  Mr.  Lewis 
Clark  and  Secretary  C.  F.  Price.  It  develops  that  the  loss 
on  the  spring  meeting  just  closed  will  be  nearer  $8,000  than 
$5,000,  and  to  this  must  be  added  a  previous  indebtedness  of 
about  $5,000.  Tbe  club  members  have  been  apathetic,  and 
President  Clark,  with  a  spirit  deserving  of  a  better  return  in- 
dividually assumed  responsibility  for  the  expenses  of  tbe  meet- 
ing. Furthermore,  he  has  not  drawn  his  salary  for  over  two 
years  in  order  to  help  the  club  tide  over  adversities.  He  will 
not  assume  further  risks  under  present  conditions,  and  even  a 
spring  meeting  is  more  than  improbable  unless  a  reorganiza- 
tion of  the  club  with  new  capital  is  effected.  The  club  has 
lcmg  been  in  need  of  outside  help  like  that  hotels,  corpora- 
tions, business  houses  and  progressive  men  give  to  Memphis 
and  Nashville  meetings,  ranging  from  $6,000  to  $10,000.  The 
amount  of  money  brought  to  a  city  by  a  race  meeting  and 
the  amount  which  must  necessarily  be  spent  are  thought  to 
warrant  such  aid. 

Representatives  of  the  Washington  Park  Club  yesterday 
called  upon  Mayor  Hopkins  and  requested  a  license  for  a 
thirty  days'  racing  season;  The  request  was  accompanied  by 
a  check  for  $1,250,  the  fee  which  was  required  by  the  city 
last  year.  Mayor  Hopkins  said  he  could  see  no  objection  to 
giving  'he  license,  provided  the  gentlemtn  making  the  appli- 
cation were  willing  to  enter  into  an  agreement  such  as  was 
required  last  year,  that  they  would  conduct  the  meeting  care- 
fully, not  allowing^  minors  to  enter  the  park,  and  be  cautious 
about  the  sale  of  liquor.  They  readily  agreed  to  enter  into 
tbe  contract,  and  the  Mayor  authorized  the  city  collector  to 
issue  the  license.  The  agreement  will  be  drawn  up  to-day, 
and  the  license  will  be  issued  as  soon  as  it  is  signed.  ''The 
gentlemen  asked  for  a  license  and  promised  to  obey  certain 
restrictions  which  I  insisted  upon,"  said  Major  Hopkins  last 
night.  "Why  should  I  not  grant  a  license?  "  "Has  your 
action  regarding  Garfield  Park  no  bearing  on  this  applica- 
tion ?  "  was  asked.  "None  whatever,  in  my  opinion,"  was 
the  reply.  "Washington  Park  is  a  reputable  [place.  Why 
should  I  try  to  dodge  the  fact?  There  is  no  comparison  be- 
tween it  and  Garfield  Park.  Were  it  the  same  kind  of  a 
place  as  Garfield  Park  I  should  refuse  the  license." — Chicago 
Inter  Ocean,  May  29th. 

The  death  of  "Polo  Jim,"  who  was  scarcely  known  by 
his  real  name  of  Ambrose  E.  Jefferson,  was  a  great  surprise 
to  racing  men,  and  caused  the  utterance  of  many  regretful 
sentiments  at  the  track  yesterday.  "Jim  "  had  never  been 
himself  since  he  was  kicked  in  the  stomach  at  Guttenberg 
last  Fall,  but  even  before  that  be  had  been  a  very  sick  man 
with  hemorrhages  of  the  lungs.  The  knifing  that  he  received 
from  an  angry  jockey  named  Ransom  last  year  did  not  im- 
prove his  health,  and  all  this  winter  he  was  in  poor  spirits. 
The  end  came  very  suddenly  for  he  was  at  Gravesend  Mon- 
day, and  had  nothing  the  matter  with  him  except  a  severe 
cold.  This  developed  into  acute  pneumonia,  and  he  died 
Wednesday  night  at  321  West  41st  street.  Mr.  J.  F.  Cald- 
well and  other  friends  will  provide  for  his  funeral,  for,  thouah 
Jim  made  lots  of  money  in  his  time,  he  died  a  poor  man. 
He  left  a  widow,  but  his  only  child  died  last  year.  The 
funeral  will  take  place  to-morrow  at  2  o'clock.  Jim  never 
had  an  equal  as  an  assistant  starter.  He  was  fearless,  strong 
and  watchful,  and  thoroughly  knew  jockeys  and  their  ways. 
Without  any  reflection  on  Mr.  Caldwell  it  is  not  too  much  to 
say  that  Jim  contributed  very  largely  to  the  great  reputation 
this  gentleman  has  made  as  a  starter.  In  the  colored  society 
of  this  city  Jim  was  very  prominent  and  his  reputation  as 
manager  of  cake  walks  was  not  merely  local.  There  is  nrany 
a  man  more  prominent  on  the  turf  who  could  have  been  bet- 
ter spared. — Daily  America  and  Mercury,  June  1. 

Monowai  died  Monday  last  at  Bay  District  track  of  acute 
inflammation  of  the  bowels  after  a  short  illness.  This  four- 
year-old  chestnut  colt  was  a  more  than  ordinary  performer  as 
a  twj-oear-old,  showing  a  world  of  speed  and  ability  to  pack 
lots  of  weight,  though  a  trifle  small.  In  the  fall  of  his  two- 
year-old  form  Monowai  was  purchased  by  W.  O'B.  Mac- 
donough,  then  just  launching  out  on  the  sea  of  turf  specu- 
lation, the  youngster  up  to  that  time  being  the  property  of 
John  Mackey  and  young  Charley  Dennison.  The  amount  of 
money  paid  for  Monowai  was  never  known  for  a  certainty, 
some  placing  it  at  $10,000,  others  at  $12,500.  The  latter  was, 
in  our  opinion,  the  amount  paid.  Monowai  was  let  up  early 
in  the  season  of  1892,  and  Henry  Walsh  took  the  colt  in 
charge  at  San  Jose  to  prepare  him  for  his  stake  engigements 
on  the  other  side  of  the  Rockies,  the  chief  event  being  the 
American  Derby,  for  which  he  was  much  fancied.  Great  re- 
ports of  the  Midlothian  colt's  speed  and  staying  qualities 
came  from  the  Garden  City,  but,  taken  East,  Monowii  did 
not  by  any  means  come  up  to  expectations — in  fact,  did  not 
rise  beyond  the  level  of  a  fair  selling  plater.  Mr.  Mac- 
donough  sent  the  disappointment  back  to  California,  and  he 
ran  here  with  such  poor  success  that  a  few  weeks 
ago  tbe  young  millionaire  was  satisfied  to  part  with 
him  to  James  Neil,  the  well-known  politician-turfman, 
for  $1,200.  Mr.  Neil  had  high  hopes  that  his  purchase 
would  actually  return,  with  good  care,  to  the  splendid  form 
shown  as  a  two-year-old,  but  death  came  and  blighted  his 
fond  hopes.  There  was  a  gloom  around  the  track  when  the 
horse  died  last  night  that  could  not  be  dispelled,  and  Neil  has 
the  sympathy  of  everyone.  Monowai  was  foaled  at  Rancho 
det  Paso,  and  was  by  imp.  Midlothian,  dam  Eliza,  bv  Nor- 
folk.

An  Old  Time  Stake  Race. 


There  is  one  nice  that  ought  to  attract  a  big  list  of  en- 
tries.    Ii  is  appropriately   called  "  Old   Times   Stakes," 
and  i«  to  be  a  race  of  four  miles,  best   two  in    three,  lor 
ind  pneera  eligible  to  the  2:2")  class,  $100   each, 
half  f ■  > r i  Med.  five  nominations  required  to  fill 

and    three    to   start.      Entries    to    close  July  2nd.     The 
to  take  place  at  the   fall  meeting  of  the  Pacific 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders'  Association. 
The  enthusiasm  aroused  by  the  great  five-mile  race  at 
Oakland  last  year,  which  was  won    by  Bishop  Hero,  will 
never  I  e  forgotten  and  the  revival    of  a    long    distance 
race  late  in  tlie  sea  the   tried    campaigners  are 

retired  to  winter  quartern  is  enre   tn   bring   out  a  list  of 

ton.  The  lack  of  nov- 
elty at  .uir  races  baa  been  noted  byjevery  visitor  to 
race  meetings,  and  this  departure  from  the  old  pro- 
gramme in  order  to  offer  a  race  that  will  never  be  for- 
gotten, is  a  step  in  the  proper  direction. 


Small  Breeders  Increasing  in  Number. 


The  long  lists  of  entries  in  nearly  all  the  events  ad- 
vertised for  the  meetings  on  the  California  and  Oregon 
circuits  this  year  include  the  names  of  many  colts  and 
fillies  owned  by  men  who  are  not  known  as  prominent 
breedeis.  The  majority  of  them,  however,  are  what  are 
known  as  "  small  breeders;"  men  who  have  made  the 
subject  of  breeding  a  hobby  and  carefully  studied  the 
principal  characteristics  of  the  leading  families  in  the 
trotting  world.  The  value  of  properly  "  nicking  "  the 
bloodlines  which,  to  their  minds,  would  produce  at  least 
a  breadwinner,  has  been  carefully  estimated  by  them. 
The  perusal  of  the  leading  turf  journals  in  which,. from 
time  to  time,  are  shown  the  benefits  of  giving  the  breed- 
ing problem  a  careful  study  is  now,  and  has  been, a  daily 
labor  of  love.  No  other  journal,  novel,  history, or  scien- 
tific work  has  a  greater  charm  to  these  men  than  their 
weekly  turf  journals.  Every  issue  contains  something 
of  interest  to  them, whether  it  be  a  cure  for  some  ailment, 
the  accession  to  the  ranks  of  a  trotting  colt  whose  breed- 
ing they  like,  or  the  newsy  little  items  found  on  the 
turf  and  track  pages,  which  are  gleaned  from  the  local 
tracks  or  the  great  fields  of  turf  literature  in  all  parts 
of  the  world. 

The  small  breeders  devote  more  time  to  the  study  of 
the  performances  of  trotters  and  pacers,  and  their  breed- 
ing, than  most  people  are  aware  of,  and  if  a  pedigree  be 
given  wrong  the  editor  is  apprized  of  the  fact  by  verbal 
or  written  notices  at  once.  The  meetings  which  are  to 
take  place  on  this  Coast  have  a  peculiar  charm  for  every 
small  breeder,  and  the  reason  for  this  is  quite  plain. 
When  the  royally-bred  mare,  which  one  of  them  has 
mated  with  the  greatest  and  most  fashionably-bred  stal- 
lion in  the  land,  has  a  foal,  the  first  futurity  stake  ad- 
vertised has  on  its  list  of  entries  the  name  and  pedigree 
of  the  little  staggering  suckling;  the  proud  owner,  poor 
though  he  may  be,  is  thus  elevated  to  the  level  of  the 
wealthiest  of  stock  owners  and  breeders,  and  in  every 
movement  of  that  foal  he  fancies  he  sees  promise  of  its 
coming  toward  the  wire  in  a  neck  and  neck  finish,  win- 
ning by  a  head  amid  the  plaudits  ofa  delighted  public. 

The  greatest  successes  in  the  trotting  world  can  be 
traced  to  the  small  breeders.  It  is  only  within  the  past 
six  years  that  the  wealthy  and  indiscriminate  breeders 
have  entered  the  field.  They,  however,  have  paid  for 
their  experience,  and  are  now  starting  in  on  the  very 
foundation  they  ought  to  have  secured  when  they  pur- 
chased their  colts  and  fillies.  The  unloading  of  their 
big  establishments  at  thesale  marts  in  the  East  this  year 
was  unprecedented  'in  the  history  of  the  turf,  because 
these  men  learned  a  lesson  about  sifting  the  chaff 
from  the  wheat,  and,  as  a  general  thing,  the  chaif  cost 
more  and  brought  less  at  the  sales  than  anything  they 
bought  or  sold.  The  small  breeders  who  attended  these 
sales  were  prepared  to  purchase,  provided  the  animal 
offered  was  as  good  individually  as  its  breeding  indicated, 
if  not,  no  silvery-tongued  auctioneer  in  the  world  could 
make  these  qualified  judges  purchase,  it  if  it  did  not  suit 
them. 

With  this  careful  discrimination  in  the  selection  and 
careful  study  in  selecting  a  Bire  or  dam,  the  small  breed- 
ers go  into  the  business  well  prepared  to  look  for  some- 
thing very  good,  and  in  nine  cases  out  of  ten  they  are 
not  disappointed.  Quality  to  them  is  of  greater  value 
than  quantity.  It  costs  as  much  to  feed  a  good  animal 
as  it  does  a  poor  one,  and  nothing  pays  as  well  as  the 
very  best,  is  their  motto. 

On  this  coast,  the  army  of  small  breeders  is  on  the  in- 
crease. The  splendid  families,  which  are  known  as 
"  foundation  families,"  were  selected  by  keen  judges  of 
horseflesh;  men  who  knew  just  what  kind  of  stock  would 
be  able  to  stand  the  long  and  arduous  trip  across  the 
plains.  With  a  dislike  akin  to  haired  for  animals  that 
were  known  as  "  soft  "  and  faint-hearted,  these  pioneers 
avoided  bringing  any  such  stock  here,  consequently,  the 
excellent  qualities  of  the  great  sires  and  dams  ot  which 
we  speak  have  been  transmitted  to  the  little  colts  and 
fillies  that  are  scattered  from  Mt.  Baker  to  San  Diego, 
and  from  the  Sierras  to  the  sea.  In  the  entry  lists  which 
have  been  published  in  this  journal  during  the  past 
month,  and  those  which  are  being  prepared  for  our  next 
week's  publication,  the  names  of  many  of  these  descend- 
ants appear. 

The  day  will  come  when  there  will  be  few  immense 
stock  farms  in  America.  Small  breeders,  gifted  with  in- 
telligence and  foresight,  will  have  the  field  to  themselves 
and  the  rivalry  existing  between  them  will  be  not  only 
keen, but  instructive  as  well.  The  supply  of  excellent  road- 
sters will  come  from  the  little  meadows  and  pastures  of 
the  thrifty  small  breeder,  and   the  man  who   breeds  in- 


telligently and  trains  his  colts  and  fillies  carefully  will 
always  find  that  there  are  plenty  of  applicants  for  his 
stock.  Fifty  broodmares  will  be  the  maximum  number 
on  the  stock  farms,  and  the  small  breeder  who  has  only 
five  excellent  matrons  need  have  no  fear  of  competing 
with  horse  owners  who  have  the  former  number  in  their 
paddocks. 


Sale    of   Thoroughb  reds. 


The  closing-out  sale  of  the  thoroughbred  stud  of  the 
late  Senator  Hearst  will  take  place  next  Monday,  June 
1 1  tli  at  one  o'clock  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  stockyards,  corner 
Van  Ness  avenue  and  Market  street.  The  lot  comprises 
yearlings  by  such  sires  as  Surinam,  imp.  True  Briton, 
imp.  Trade  Wind,  San  Simeon  and  Jim  Brown,  out  of 
the  splendidly-bred  broodmares  that  were  disposed  of  at 
auction  last  November.  Individually,  no  consignment 
of  young  horses  ever  sent  to  this  city  can  compare  with 
them.  Being  carefully  bred  and  cared  for  since  they  were 
weaned,  and  having  had  one  of  the  largest  and  finest 
stock  farms  in  the  world  as  a  play  ground,  they  are  all 
strong-limbed  and  well-muscled.  Their  dams  are  nearly 
all  noted  not  only  as  race  mares  but  as  matrons  of  great 
racehorses,  viz.:  Nellie  Collier,  by  Joe  Hooker ;  Carrie 
O,  by  Scamperdown  ;  Maria  F.,  by  Leinster ;  Daisy  S. 
by  Longfield ;  Imp.  Gertrude,  by  Somnus ;  Sister  to 
Lottery,  by  Monday  ;  Mercedes  (dam  of  two  great  ones), 
by  Lodi ;  Violet  by  Himyar  ;  Imp.  Fun,  by  Fiddler  ; 
Trampo  (dam  of  Blizzard),  by  imp.  Kyrle  Daly  ;  Imp. 
Paloma  (dam  of  Armitage),  by  The  Drummer,  and  De- 
ception, by  Ten  Broeck. 

This  will  be  the  last  opportunity  those  who  are 
seeking  to  make  money  by  raising  and  racing  horses 
will  have  to  get  the  choicest  colts  and  fillies  ever  offered 
on  this  Coast.  The  sale  takes  place  at  one  o'clock,  and 
every  one  who  loves  a  good-looking,  well-bred  racehorse 
should  attend.     Send  for  catalogues. 


Occidental  Trotting   and    Pacing    Association. 

A  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the  Occidental 
Trotting  and  Pacing  Association  was  held  last  Wednes- 
evening.  A  number  of  applications  for  membership  to 
the  new  organization  was  presented,  extending  over  the 
territory  from  British  Columbia  to  Southern  California. 
The  work  of  putting  the  new  association  in  active  oper- 
ation is  going  on  as  fast  as  possible,  and  it  is  expected 
that  the  equipment,  which  will  be  similar  to  that  fur- 
nished by  the  National  and  American  Associations,  will 
be  ready  for  distribution  among  its  members  this  month. 
The  by-laws  of  the  Association  provide  for  a  board  of 
fifteen  directors,  a  part  of  whom  were  elected  at  the  first 
meeting  of  the  Association.  It  being  desired  to  secure 
representation  throughout  the  State,  the  following  well- 
known  gentlemen  were  placed  in  nomination  and  unani- 
mously elected  members  of  the  Board  :  Frank  P, 
Wickersham,  Fresno  ;  J.  G.  Hill,  Montalvo  ;  Simeon  G 
Reed,  Pasadena;  J.  C.  Newton,  Los  Angeles;  L.  H.  Mc- 
intosh, Chico;  J.  E.  Pleasants,  Santa  Ana ;  John  Boggs, 
Princeton;  George  Fletcher,  Grass  Valley  ;  Charles  P 
Low,  Santa  Barbara. 


The  Event  of  the  Year. 


The  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association  has  added  two 
more  races  to  its  long  programme  for  the  fall  meeting, 
and  both  are  novelties.  One  is  a  "  free-for-all  for  pacers 
and  trotters  for  a  purse  of  $1,000  ;"  the  other  is  what  ii 
appropriately  termed  Old  Times  Stakes,  and  is  a  race  ol 
four  mile  heats,  best  two  in  three,  for  trotters  and  pacers 
eligible  to  the  2:25  class.  The  roan  campaigner,  Bishop 
Hero,  is  to  be  handicapped  with  a  high  wheel  sulky 
The  races  should  attract  large  entry  lists  and  arouse  the 
enthusiasm  of  all  horsemen.     See  advertisement. 


The  Solano  Agricultural  and  Speed  Association  has  "j 
re-opened  its  entry  list  until  July  2d,  for  five  races  to  be 
contested  at  their  fair  this  fall.  The  advertisement  ic 
another  column  gives  alPthe  information  concerning 
them,  and  horsemen  who  have  failed  to  make  entries  ir 
time  for  these  events  can  have  no  such  excuse  now. 


The  list  of  entries  for  the  Woodland  Fair  exceedet 
the  most  sanguine  expectations  of  the  directors  of  this 
splendid  organization.  Woodland's  example  encourage.' 
all  other  cities  in  California  where  race  tracks  are. 


Racing  begins  at  Denver  to-day.  Flying  Jib,  2:04 
and  a  number  of  other  Californians,  will  be  there  to  se' 
the  ball  in  motion. 


This  is  the  last  day  of  the  races  at  the  Bay  Distric 
track.

Tlie  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  Entries. 


Following  is  a  list  of  entries  received  for  the  additional 
purses  advertised  to  close  June  1st  for  the  Pacific  Coast 
Trotting  Horse  Breeders  Association.  The  name3  of : 
many  horses  that  have  not  appeared  on  the  track  since 
1S92  appear,  viz.:  Chris.  Smith,  Almont  Patcheh,  James 
Madison  and  Little  Hope  being  among  the  most  promi- 
nent ones. 

The  summer  meeting,  being  the  first  of  the  season,  does 
not  attract  the  large  list  of  entries  that  a  meeting  in  the 
middle  or  latter  part  of  the  season  does,  nevertheless, 
with  the  list  of  entries  published,  and  the  additional 
ones  to  be  received  which  are  advertised  for  in  our  col- 
umns, a  splendid  programme  will  be  presented  and 
fine  racing  will  be  the  result. 

As  suggested  in  these  columns  last  week,  as  the  free- 
for-all  trotting  and  pacing  races  would,  in  all  likelihood, 
not  be  filled, the  directors,  on  learning  that  the  prophecy 
was  correct,  acted  on  the  suggestion,  and  now  advertise  a 
free-for-all  for  trotters  and  pacers  lor  a  purse  of  §1,000, 
entries  to  close  July  2,  1892  :

Entries  for  the  races  to  take  place  under  the  auspices 
ot  the  National  Equestrian  Association  at  the  Recreation 
Grounds  of  the  Midwinter  Fair  will  close  June  23d  with 
the  secretary.  The  advertisement  which  appears  in  an- 
other column  contains  the  programme  of  events  and  the 
purses  and  prizes  offered.  The  greatest  interest  is  being 
taken  in  this  exhibition,  and  representatives  from  all 
parts  of  th3  world  will  be  there  to  make  it  the  grandest 
and  most  complete  entertainment  of  its  kind  ever  held. 
The  races  to  be  given  are  to  be  run  on  a  three-quarter 
mile  track,  and  horse-owners  who  are  desirous  of  making 
money  should  no^:  neglect  this  opportunity. 


The  heavy  floods  in  the  North  have  delayed  the  mails^ 
consequently,  secretaries  on  the  California  circuit  who 
advertised  entries  for  their  meetings  to  close  June  1st, 
are  waiting  patiently  for  all  the  returns  before  having 
the  lists  published.  In  our  issue  next  week,  instead  of 
having  pages  devoted  to  the  running  races,  we  will 
furnish  our  readers  with  full  and  complete  lists  qf  all 
the  entries  received. 


The  discovery  of  tuberculosis  in  the  dairy  cattle 
which  supplied  milk  to  the  inmates  of  the  State  Insane 
Asylum  at  Stockton,  and  the  action  of  the  physicians  in 
not  aiding  the  veterinarians  in  every  way  possible  to 
make  a  thorough  investigation,  have  been  subjects  of 
much  comment  in  the  able  journals  published  in  the  in- 
terior. That  some  good  will  result  from  these  timely 
articles  is  the  hope  of  every  citizen  in  this  State.  The 
leading  journals  of  the  East  and  West  are  also  agitating 
the  subject  of  having  a  thorough  investigation  made  of 
all  the  dairy  herds  which  supply  the  public  with  milk. 
The  sooner  this  work  is  commenced,  the  better. 


"They  were  a  long  time  on  the  way,"  is  the  first  line 
of  a  letter  received  from  Dr.  Thomas  Maclay,  secretary 
of  the  Sonoma  and  Marin  Agricultural  Society,  in 
which  he  states  that  the  following  entries  were  properly 
dated  and  postmarked  at  Rocklin,  Placer  county,  and 
twenty  days    after   they  arrived  at  their  destination.

These  entries  are  to  be  added  to  those  already  received 
and  published. 


Samuel  Gamble  has  Stamboul,  2:07£,  and  nine 
other  very  good  ones  at  Goshen,  N.  Y.  Some  are  by 
Kremlin,  and  others  by  Alcyone,  Electioneer,  Young 
Jim,  Nutwood  and  Alcantara ;  all  young  and  very  prom- 
ising. It  would  not  surprise  us  if  he  gives  Stamboul  to 
John  A.  Goldsmith,  the  prince  among  reinsmen,  when 
the  race  record  is  sought  for  this  fall.  All  of  the  stock 
are  looking  and  doing  well. 


The  Story  of  the  Pacer. 


In  looking  over  the  list  of  entries  to  the  special  classes  of 
the  blue  ribbon  meeting  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club  for  1894, 
says  the  Free  Press,  the  four-year-old  pacing  class  causes  one 
to  ponder  not  a  little  over  the  great  change  in  public  senti- 
ment that  has  taken  place  in  regard  to  the  once  tabooed 
pacer,  who  was  hardly  considered  worthy  of  a  place  on  the 
programme  of  any  well-regulated  race  meeting.  To  be  sure, 
he  was  accorded  a  little  consideration.  A  purse  so  small, 
which  a  third  class  trotter  would  hardly  think  of  competing 
for,  was  hung  up  for  the  side-wheelers,  and,  what  was  more, 
it  was  considered  quite  ample. 

A  hurried  glance  over  the  annals  of  the  trotting  turf  from 
1829  reveals  some  little  scraps  of  interesting  history  in  con- 
nection with  the  early  and  subsequent  exploits  of  the  pacer. 
On  September  7th  of  that  year  Bowery  Boy,  pedigree  un- 
known, paced  a  two-mile  heat  in  5:04},  which  was  a  highly 
creditable  performance  for  those  early  days  in  turf  history. 
It  was  not  until  1835,  six  years  later,  that  another  appeared 
of  sufficient  prominence  to  attract  public  notice.  In  that 
year  Oneida  Chief,  by  Kentucky  Hunter,  dam  unknown, 
paced  a  mile  to  saddle  in  2:31,  supplementing  it 
three  years  later  with  a  two-mile  saddle  record  of  5:09£. 
The  year  following,  1839,  Drover,  a  bay  gelding  of  un- 
known breeding,  reeled  off  a  mile  in  2:23,  and  in 
1844  Unknown,  a  chestnut  gelding,  breeding  unknown, 
performed  the  hitherto  unprecedented  feat  of  pacing  a  mile 
in  2:23  to  awagon.  In  1852_the  roan  gelding  Pet — like  his  pre- 
decessors, pedigree  not  traced — marched  to  thejtime  of  2:lS.j. 
In  1855  another  meteor  flashed  across  the  pacing  horizon  and 
dazzled  the  world  with  its  brightness.  The  incomparable 
Pocahontas,  the  chestnut  daughter  of  Iron's  Cadmus,  dam  by 
Big  Shakespeare,  set  the  sports  agog  by  pulling  a  wagon  in 
2:l7i.  It  is  doubtful,  all  things  considered,  if  a  better  one 
has  ever  scored  up  for  the  word  than  she  It  will  be  observed 
that  up  to  this  time  no  pacer  could  lay  claims  to  aay  known 
breeding.  In  1868  Billy  Boyce,  by  Corbeau,  gladdened  the 
hearts  of  his  St.  Louis  backers  by  pacing  a  mile  to  saddle  in 
2:14!.  Eleven  years  later  the  blind  son  of  Tom  Rolfe.old 
Sleepy  Tom,  felt  his  way  from  wire  to  wire  in  2:12],  and 
manyan  astute  horsemao  then  declared  tbat  the  limit  had 
been  reached,  but  in  1881  Little  Brown  Jug  chipped  off  a 
half  second  and  set  the  mark  at  2:1  If,  where  it  remained  until 
1884.  when  tue  bay  gelding  Johnston,  by  one  fell  swoop, 
knocked  all  previous  records  silly  by  paciog  a  mile  in  2:06] . 
This  was  a  target  for  all  the  side-wheelers  to  fire  at,  and  it 
was  not  until  1892  that  any  of  them  came  nearer  the  bull's 
eye.  This  was  essentially  the  pacer's  year.  Mascot  reeled 
off  a  mile  in  2:04;  Hal  Pointer  2:04  J  and  Direct  2:05£.  The 
following  year  Flying  Jib  joined  the  2:04  ranks,  and  Kobert 
J.  wrote  2:05 i|-  opposite  his  name,  and  the  end  is  not  yet. 

Looking  backward  over  a  period  of  forty  years  many  a  De- 
troiter   will  recall   winter  scenes   on   the   Rouge  when  the 


Frenchman  with  his  little  "Canuck,  she  go  so  fast  she  fairly 
fly,"  made  things  lively  for  all  comers,  while  his  notes  of  en- 
couragement might  be  distinctly  heard  anywhere  in  the 
vicinity  of  the  city  hall.  These  little  sloped-rutnped,  crooked- 
legged  nondescripts  were  the  typical  pacers  of  fifty  years  ago. 
Old  race  goers  will  also  recall  the  many  contests  witnessed 
over  the  old  track  in  the  early  sislies,  between  Dan  Voor- 
hees,  Lamplighter,  Hendricks,  Tecumseh,  Alice  and  others, 
"Old  Dan"  generally  tied  to  the  outside  rail  awaiting  the 
judge's  call.  Later  on,  came  tbe  big  four,  Mattie  Hunter, 
Buffalo  Girl,  Lucy  and  Rowdy  Boy.  For  several  years  they 
swung  around  the  circle,  capturing  everything  in  sight.  They 
were  so  evenly  sized  up  in  point  of  speed,  they  had  no  diffi- 
culty in  dumping  the  talent  whenever  it  pleased  their  fancy 
to  do  so,  and  that  only  occurred  in  about  every  race  in  which 
they  started.  One  would  hardly  suspect  our  genial  friends 
John  Splan  or  8am  Keyes  of  any  questionable  practices,  but 
they  were  said  to  be  liable  to  "slip  a  cog"  occasionally. 
Things  have  changed  very  much  for  the  better,  within  the 
last  decade.  The  pacer  has  come  to  the  front,  and  come  to 
stay.  He  is  no  longer  the  "  Canuck."  tbe  "  Narra- 
gansett,' '  or  the  "unknown"  in  breeding,  but  a  high- 
bred, clean-cut  representative  of  the  equine  family,  in 
every  respect  the  equal  of  his  aristocratic  brother,  the 
trotter.  In  his  veins  Sows  the  same  bbod ;  in  his 
head  the  same  instinct ;  the  only  point  of  divergence  is  the 
gait,  the  one  lateral  and  the  other  diagonal.  The  racing 
season  of  1893  closed  with  S34  pacers  in  the  list,  with  records 
of  2:25  or  better.  Less  than  one-seventh  of  this  number  were 
pacing-bred,  the  other  six-sevenths  are  what  may  be  termed 
strictly  trotting-bred.  This  condition  oflhingsis  arevelation 
to  the  disciples  of  the  '•  like  begets  like,  or  tbelifee  of  some 
progenitor"  theory.  The  only  trouble  with  these  gentlemen 
is,  they  insist  that  the  sire  or  the  dam  imparts  the  instinct  to 
trot,  or  to  pace,  33  the  line  of  breeding  may  indicate.  The 
facts  do  not  sustain  this  theory.  The  sire  or  dam  imparts 
the  instinct,  nerve  force  and  physical  conformation  to  go  fast 
at  either  gait  that  is  most  natural  and  easy  for  its  offspring. 
If  its  physical  conformation  is  such  as  *.o  incline  it  to  pace, 
it  has  the  instinct  and  nerve  force  to  go  fast  at  tbat  gait,  and 
vice  versa,  in  case  it  is  a  trotter.  To  illustrate  this  more  for- 
cibly, take  the  case  of  two  own  sisters,  Mary  Marshall,  w'th 
a  trotting  record  of  2:12|,  and  May  Marshall,  with  a  pacing 
record  of  2:03.1.  Each  inherits  the  same  blood  lines,  the 
same  instincts  and  the  same  nerve  force,  but  their  physical 
conformation  differs,  hence  the  difference  in  their  natural 
inclination  as  to  gait.  That  the  two  gaits  are  convertible  and 
interchangeable,  despite  natural  inclination  and  physical 
conformation,  is  evidenced  by  the  fact  that  so  many  have  per- 
formed fast  at  both  gaits.  Jay-Eye-See,  with  a  trotting  record 
of  2:10  as  a  five-year-old,  after  years  of  retirement  from  tbe 
turf  blossoms  out  at  fourteen  years  of  age  as  a  pacer  and  takes 
a  mark  of  2:06}.  Direct,  another  with  a  trotting  record  of 
2:185  (Mr.  Salisbury  assured  the  writer  in  1890,  before  leav- 
ing California,  Direct  had  shown  him  a  mile  in  2:12),  has 
one  of  2:053  at  the  pace.  Flying  Jib,  2:04,  is  an  intensely 
trotting-bred  pacer,  that  can  easily  beat  2:30  at  the  diagonal 
gait,  and  probably  when  he  has  outlived  his  usefulness  as  a 
pacer  will  be  found  going  down  the  line  among  the  trotters. 
Monbars,  with  a  three-year-old  trotting  record  of  2:11},  in 
McHenry's  hands,  has  been  converted  to  the  lateral-gaited 
persuasion,  and  will  this  year  be  found  in  the  pacing  classes, 
while  Mary  Centlivre,  2:12  at  the  pace,  has  cast  her  lot  this 
season  with  the  trotters.  It  should  be  borne  in  mind  that  all 
the  above-mentioned  performers  are  strictly  trotting-bred, 
excepting  Mary  Centlivre,  whose  sire,  R.  C.  Brown,  is  a 
standard-bred  trotter,  but  her  dam,  Carrie  Blackwood,  is  by 
Blue  Bull  75,  a  pacing-bred  sire, with  fifty-nine  in  the  2:30  list, 
only  four  of  which  are  pacers.  Plenty  of  instances  can  be  cited 
to  substantiate  the  theory  that  the  prepotency  of  sire  or  dam  is 
not  determined  so  much  by  the  peculiarities  of  gait  they  may 
impart  to  their  progeny  as  it  is  by  their  ability  to  impart  nerve 
force  and  physical  conformation  to  go  fast  at  the  gait  most  nat- 
ural to  them.  The  trottingand  pacing  instinct  is  one  and  the 
same  thing — the  differences  in  gait  are  due  entirely  to  differ- 
ences in  conformation.  That  they  are  convertible  is  beyond 
all  question,  but  this  is  rarely  ever  done  without  the  use  of 
artificial  appliances,  which  is  always  to  be  deprecated.  The 
Wilkes  family  have  produced  more  pacers  than  any  other, 
hence  some  horsemen  attribute  this  predisposition  to  the  fact 
that  the  Surrey  mare,  dam  of  Henry  Clay,  was  double-gaited 
They  seem  to  lose  sight  of  the  fact  that  Henry  Clay  never 
sired  a  pacer,  nor  have  auy  of  his  sons  or  grandsons,  daugh- 
ters or  granddaughters  ever  produced  one.  It  is  to  be  hoped 
that  in  the  light  of  accumulated  evidence  as  to  what  consti- 
tutes prepotency  in  a  sire  or  dam,  the  Surrey  mare  will  be 
excused  from  any  longer  acting  as  god-mother  to  all  the 
pacers  in  the  Wilkes  family,  and  let  the  intelligent  breeder 
look  for  other  causes.  He  may  possibly  find  it  in  the  fact 
that  the  Wilkes  family  have  contributed  more  turf  perform- 
ers than  any  five  othprs,  barring  his  own  sire,  within  the  lids 
of  the  Trotting  Register.— Horseman. 

It  is  always  a  pleasure  to  look  at  a  perfectly-proportioned, 
well-muscled,  stylish  colt,  especially  if  he  is  well  bred  and 
shows  that  he  has  speed,  a  quality  which  is  never  hidden 
long  in  this  age  of  early  development.  Such  a  one  is  the 
large-sized  two-year-old  Guy  Wilkes  colt  we  saw  at  the  San 
Mateo  Stock  Farm  last  week.  If  we  were  choosing  a  race 
horse  that  we  would  use  as  a  sire  when  his  days  on  the  track 
are  over,  this  one  would  suit  us.  He  is  sired  by  Guy  Wilkes, 
2:15},  out  of  Mystic  (dam  of  Mystery,  2:23^>  at  three  years),  by 
Xutwood,  2:18],  second  dam  Emma  Arterburn  (dam  of  St. 
Aroaud,  2-291,  sire  of  Reina,  2:121,  Judge  Keeler,  2:21},  and 
three  others  in  2:30,  Mercedes,  trial  2:2S  and  Mercedita, 
2:36),  by  Mambrino  Patchen  5S,  third  dam  Jenny  Johnson 
(dam  of  Kitty  Johnson,  dam  of  Belle  of  the  Isle,  2:281),  by 
Sweet  Oweo,  son  of  Grey  Eagle,  fourth  dam  Lux,  by  Wag- 
ner, fifth  dam  Butterfly  (third  dam  of  Norfolk,  the  unbeaten 
son  of  Lexington),  by  Sumpter,  son  of  Sir  Archy,  sixth  dam 
Maria,  by  imp.  Buard,  seventh  dam  Maria,  by  Fearnaught 
and  eighth  dam  by  imp.  Janus. 

G.  R.  Tompkins,  Secretary  of  the  Old  Dominion  Jockey 
Club,  speaking  of  the  action  taken  by  the  Stewards  of  the 
Oravesend  track  Wednesday,  in  revoking  the  license  of  his 
club  for  allowing  a  foreign  book  to  be  made  at  their  track, 
said  that  the  Old  Dimino  Jockey  Club  had  concluded  that 
their  interests  would  be  best  served  by  the  aid  of  a  foreign 
book,  and  at  10  o'oclock  that  morning,  before  racing  began, 
sent  in  its  resignation.  This  action,  hesaid,  would  not  cause 
any  of  the  stables  to  leave  the  track. 


Lottie  D.  is  in  great  shape  now,  and  well-nigh  invincible

THE  KENNEL. 

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


Dr.  A.  T.  Regensbureer  has  been  exceedingly  lucky.  All 
but  one  of  the  Reg lov— Cleopatra  litter  are  sold  already. 

H.  R.  Xewbauer's  St.  Bernard  dog  Robin  Hood,  by  Marc 
Antony— Cleopatra,  1st  at  Oakland  in  the  dog  puppy  class, 
died  on  Monday  last  under  suspicious  circumstances. 

Among  our  new  advertisements  this  week  we  call  your  at- 
tention to  those  of  3.  W.  Fores,  who  offers  fox  terrier  pup- 
pies and  brood  bitches  for  sale  and  the  well-known  Desperado 
at  stud.  . 

W.  H.  Collins'  St.  Bernard  Lord  Hualpa  is  proving  himself 
a  very  successful  sire.  O.  Nichols'  Lola  whelped  twelve  pup- 
pies to  him  on  June  1st,  eleven  of  the  twelve  are  dogs  and 
they  are  said  to  be  nicely  marked. 

There  is  a  growiog  demand  for  bloodhounds  in  the  South- 
ern portion  of  this  State,  where  they  are  to  be  used  for  track- 
ing criminals-  A  good  pair  would  undoubtedly  prove  a  good 
investment  for  some  of  our  local  fanciers. 

We  call  the  attention  of  our  readers  to  the  advertisement 
of  The  Paci6c  Coast  Field  Trial  Club  in  onr  advertising  col 
umns.  The  Derby  is  for  setters  and  pointers  whelped  on  or 
after  January  1st,  1S93.     Entries  close  June  15. 

i  )ne  of  our  subscribers  asks  for  an  accurate,  minutedescrip- 
lion  of  a  collie,  the  recognized  standard  of  same  and  scale  cf 
points.  Lack  of  space  prevents  our  conceding  to  his  request 
this  week.     We  will  endeavor  to  do  so  in  our  next  issue. 

Blemton  Vesuvian,  C.  A.  Sumner's  favorite  foxlerricr.  was 
poisoned  May  24th  under  circumstances  that  leave  little 
doubt  that  the  act  was  of  pure  malice.  The  dog  was  well 
known  to  fox  terrier  breeders,  and  has  quite  a  reputation  over 
the  country  as  the  heroin  Mr.  Sumner's  book  called  "  Bob." 
All  dog  lovers  will  join  in  sympathy  over  poor  Bob's  un- 
timely^end,  and  hope  his  murderer  may  be  brought  to  justice. 

The  Glenmore  Kennels'  well  known  Irish  setter  bitch, 
Maid  of  Glenmore,  whelped  nine  puppies  on  the  first  day  of 
the  month  to  Challenge  Beau  Brummel,  five  of  them  dogs. 
This  combination  of  quality  and  pedigree  should  produce 
winners.  The  combination  of  Finglas  and  Elcho  stock  can 
not  be  excelled  for  either  field  or  bench.  We  wish  Mr. 
Campbell  the  best  of  success  with  tbe  litter. 

Among  the  many  familiar  faces  at  the  Oakland  Bench 
show  we°recognized  that  of  R.  M.  Dodge,  of  the  Kenwood 
Kennels,  Sonoma  County.  Mr.  Dodge  did  not  comedown 
for  naught.  He  took  back  with  him  three  more  youngsters 
to  train,  possibly  for  the  Derby.  Mr.  Dodge  now  has  ten  or 
twelve  promising  setters  and  pointers  in  training  and  several 
of  them  will  be  Derby  entries  that  we  expect  to  hear  good  re- 
ports from  at  the  trials.  We  heartily  recommend  Mr.  Dodge 
as  a  careful,  painstaking  trainer.  Whoever  entrusts  his  dogs 
in  his  care  will  have  no  cause  for  complaint. 

We  notice  in  the  American  Field  the  advertisement  of  Mr. 
Geo.  Bell,  of  Toronto,  Canada.  He  offers  to  sell  out  and 
stales  as  a  reason,  his  unjust  disqualification  by  the  A.  K.  C. 
In  the  same  advertisement  he  offers  for  sale  Blemton  Conse- 
quence, who  is  the  property  of  J.  B.  Martin  of  this  city,  and 
Rejoice,  who  is  in  Mr.  Martin's  possession  in  this  citv.  Is  it 
any  wonder  that  he  was  disqualified?  He  sends  Rejoice  to 
Mr.  Martin,  guaranteed  in  whelp  and  when  she  shows  no 
Mgn  of  being  in  whelp  he  refuses  to  right  the  wrong.  Then 
when  it  is  proven  that  the  bitch  sent  to  Martin  is  Rejoice  in- 
stead of  Consequence  (the  bitch  Martin  bought)  he  refuses  to 
right  that  wrong,  and  now  has  the  consumnate  gall  to  offer 
both  bitches  for  sale  publicly.  In  place  of  one  year  he 
should  be  disqualified  for  life. 

There  is  no  reason  on  earth  why  the  coming  Derby  of  the 
Pacific  Coast  Field  Trial  Club  should  not  be  one  of  the  best 
ever  held  on  the  coast.  There  is  a  great  deal  of  new  blood 
i  n  both  pointers  and  setters  on  the  coist  no-v.sons  and  daught- 
ers, grandsons  and  grauddaughters  of  such  dogs  as  Dan  Glad- 
Btone,  Champ.  Gladstone,  Count  Noble,  Gath's  Hope,  Donald 
Bane,  Countess  Noble,  Jean  Van  Jean,  Roderigo,  Gath's 
Mark,  Dick  Bondhu,  Sportsman,  Rip  Rap,  King  of  Kent, 
Duke  of  Vernon,  Glenbeigh,  Sallie  Brass  II,  and  the  black 
pointers.  Finglas,  Beau  Brnmmell,  Ruby  Glenmore  and 
many  others.  Surely  ibis  stock  should  be  fit  to  compete  in 
any  company.  With  the  great  improvement  in  Irish  setters 
we  trust  we  will  see  a  few  of  the  red  dogs  at  the  trials  this 
year.  The  field  trial  grounds  are  near  by,  of  unsurpassed 
character  for  the  desired  purpose,  have  been  carefully  pre- 
served and  will  unquestionably  provide  plenty  of  birds.  The 
S;dinasspt>rtHm3n  are  hospitable  to  a  fault  and  both  competi 
tors  and  spectators  are  as  sure  of  thoroughly  enjoying  them- 
M-lves  at  the  Salinas  trials  a*  they  are  of  anything  on  this 
earth.     If  you  have  a  promising  puppy  enter  it  in  the  Derby. 

Kennel  Registry. 


The  Oakland  Bench  Show. 


As  stated  last  week  the  show  was  very  successful.  Mr. 
Thos.  Higgs  officiated  as  superintendent  to  the  satisfaction  of 
ail.  We  never  saw  a  show  kept  cleaner,  or  one  better  man- 
aged. 

Dr.  F.  W.  Skaife,  the  proprietor  of  the  San  Francisco 
Canine  Hospital  examined  the  dogs  on  arrival  and  was  in  at- 
tendance constantly.  The  only  dog  that  was  removed  from 
the  show  for  sickness  was  the  noted  Skyrocket,  who  was 
suffering  greatly  from  rheumatism. 

Mr.  F.  J.  Woodward's  Japanese  spaniel  Snip  was  regularly 
entered,  and  his  owner  was  present  on  Wednesday  and  also 
on  Thursday  morning,  a  short  time  before  the  judging  of  the 
Japanese  spaniel  classes  on  Thursday,  he  brought  in  his  dog. 
The  doorkeeper,  supposing  it  to  be  late  but  regularly  passed 
upon  allowed  it  to  pass.  The  dog  wasjudged  and  awarded  first 
prize  before  the  facts  of  the  case  became  known.  As  neither 
the  superintendent  nor  veterinary  had  passed  upon  the  dog  it 
was  disqualified  and  the  class  rejudged.  Some  time  during 
the  afternoon  Mr.  Woodward  went  out  with  a  shawl  under 
his  arm  and  shortly  afterwards  it  was  discovered  that  his  dog 
was  wrapped  up  in  the  shawl.  That  the  dog's  win  was  dis- 
qualified is  just  and  right.  We  only  regret  that  the  man  has 
not  been  made  an  example  of.  Such  ungentlemanly  action 
deserves  but  the  severest  censure. 

In  our  comments  of  the  awards  and  the  dogs  we  gave  last 
week  the  classes  as  catalogued  up  to  and  including  Irish  set- 
ters. 

GORDOX   SETTERS. 

Dick  II,  the  winner,  was  rightly  placed  ;  the  judge  favors 
the  lighter  boned  or  "  Malcolm  "  type  and  followed  his  type. 
Dick  is  much  the  best  in  coat,  has  good  tan  and  is  good  in 
head,  body  and  limbs.  Joe  Johnson,  second,  is  too  short  in 
head,  light  in  muzzle  and  wide  In  skull.  He  has  a  nice  flat 
coat  and  is  otherwise  fair.  Punch,  third,  has  a  fair  coat  and 
good  bone  but  lacks  tan  markings.  He  has  a  better  head 
than  Joe  Johnson  but  is  of  the  heavier  type.  Sailor, V.  H.  C, 
has  a  very  good  shaped  head  but  is  very  curly  in  coat,  not 
straight  in  front  and  has  lost  a  portion  of  his  tail.  Jim,  also 
V.  H.  C.,  has  a  very  fair  head  but  is  bad  in  coat.  In  bitches 
Bijou  won.  She  has  a  nice,  flat  coat  and  good  tan,  but  is  a 
bit  snipey. 

FIELD  SPANIELS. 

As  usual,  tuis  class  brought  out  only  big  cockers  and  mon- 
grels. Master  Shiner,  the  winner,  is  a  very  fair  red  cocker, 
just  a  little  over  weight.  Ben  Harrison,  second,  and  Neb., 
third,  have  a  cocker  type  of  head,  but  do  single  characteristic 
of  tbe  field  spaniel.  Nick,  V.  H.  C,  is  the  nearest  to  the 
field  spaniel  type  of  head,  but  he  unquestionably  obtained  it 
from  a  setter  cross,  and  like  the  balance  of  the  class  should 
not  have  been  mentioned  as  field  spaniels.

Woodland  Duke  was  alone  in  black  cocker  spaniel 
dog  class.  He  has  a  nice  skull,  a  clean-cut  muzzle  of  good 
length,  and  nice  ears  well  set  on.  He  is  cobby,  straight  in 
front  and  well  bent  behind.  He  is  full  of  character  and  un- 
questionably the  best  cocker  in  California.  Almost  his  only 
perceptibly  fault  is  a  coat  that  is  too  wavy. 

Brontilla,  the  winner  in  black  cocker  bitches  is  a  well- 
known  winner.  She  has  much  the  best  head  io  the  class,  muz- 
zle a  little  too  long,  ears  too  long.  She  is  of  good  size  and 
height,  with  nice  flat  coat.  Mollie  Mc,  second,  is  a  bit  light 
in  muzzle  and  too  long  in  body,  coat  excellent.  Lassie  S., 
third,  has  a  good  skull  and  good  eye,  but  is  too  long  in  muz- 
zle, snipey  and  has  a  very  poor  coat. 

In  black  dog  pups  California  Duke,  the  winner,  has  a  good 
skull,  but  is  too  long  in  muzzle  and  too  long  in  body,  coat  flat 
and  of  good  texture,  eyes,  ears  and  expression  good.  Dash, 
second,  like  his  half-brother,  is  too  long  in  muzzle  and  body, 
and  turns  his  front  feet  out  too  much. 

In  black  bitch  pups  five  very  good  ones  faced  the  judge,  all 
sired  by  Woodland  Duke.  Zona,  first,  is  not  square  enough 
in  muzzle,  the  same  being  a  trifle  too  long  in  proportion  to 
the  skull,  skull  too  domed,  coat  flat  but  thin,  body  too  long 
in  proportion  to  length  of  leg.  Dina,  second,  we  preferred  to 
the  winner.  She  is  better  in  muzzle  and  skull  and 
equal  in  all  other  points  ;  but  the  two,  yes,  in  fact,  all  five, 
are  yery  close  together,  and  anyone  is  liable  to  get  mixed  up. 
In  fact,  the  owner  of  Diana  was  petting  Zona,  thinking  he 
was  pelting  his  own  dog.  Bessie  W.,  third,  is  the  best  in 
body  of  the  lot,  but  her  skull  is  domed  too  much.  Her  coat 
is  abundant,  but  slightly  inclined  to  wave.  Queen  Victoria, 
reserve,  has  the  shortest  muzzle  in  tbe  class,  but  it  is  a  bit 
pinched,  skull  good,  nice,  flat  coat,  but  too  long  in  body. 
Nora,  V.  H.  C.,  has  the  same  faults  as  the  rest,  good  coat,  but 
too  long  io  body. 

Nimrod,  the  winner  in  dogs,  other  than  black,  is  a  cobby 
black  and  white  ticked  with  a  very  fair  head,  muzzle  slightly 
undershot  and  a  very  good  coat.  He  is  very  well  muscled  and 
looks  like  a  workman,  but  is  not  quite  straight  in  front. 
Colonel,  second,  is  another  cobby  one  with  ^ood  coat  and 
limbs,  but  with  a  turned -up  muzzle  and  bad  expression. 
Snap,  third,  has  the  King  Charles  type  of  skull,  but  cobby 
and  otherwise  good.  Spot,  V.  H.  C ,  should  have  been  in  the 
black  class;  he  is  too  large  and  too  high  on  leg  and  very  bad 
in  coat. 

In  bitches  other  than  black  Bettiewon  it  was  a  close  thing 
between  her  and  Reah,  second.  Bettie  has  a  good  square  muz- 
zle and  a  good  length  of  head,  good  length  of  leg  and  proper 
length  of  body,  coat  a  trifle  short,  but  of  good  texture  and 
flat.  Reah  has  a  belter  skull  and  good  length  of  ear,  nice  flat 
coat,  good  body  and  legs,  but  might  be  better  in  eyes  and  ex- 
pression. Queenie,  third,  might  be  wider  at  base  of  skull, 
ears  set  on  too  low,  throaty  and  a  little  long  in  body.  Her 
coat  i«  flat  and  abindant,  but  a  trifle  harsh.  Beaut,  V.  H. 
C-,  is  a  bit  snipy  and  long  tn  muzzle  and  curly  in  coat,  skull 
good. 

Puppies,  other  than  black,  dogs.     King  Muggins   took  the. 
blue  ribbon  without  competition.     He  is  good   in  skull,  but 
should    be  a  little  shorter   in   muzzle;  excellent  body,  back 
and  loin,  good  abundant  coat  just  a  bit  wavy. 

IRISH  WATER  SPANIELS. 

Barney,  the  winner  in  challenge  dogs,  and  Nellie,  the  win- 
ner in  challenge  bitches,  are  both  well  known.  The  dog  is 
the  best  in  type  and  won  the  special.     Bess,  the  only  entry 


in  the  open  class,  was   not  an  Irish  water  spaniel   and  was 
lucky  in- getting  a  C.  card. 

DACHSHUND. 

One  very  typical  little  bitch,  Fanny,  comprised  the  entry. 
We  have  described  her  recently. 

POODLES. 

One  very  good  specimen  of  a  French  corded  poodle  took 
the  blue  ribbon.  He  was  nicely  trimmed  and  in  fine  condition 
of  coat. 

COLLIES. 

The  awards  io  collie  dog  class  created  a  great  deal  of  dis- 
satisfaction but  the  most  of  it  was  entirely  without  reason. 
Ned,  a  large  black  and  tan,  won;  as  a  sound,  strong  dog  he 
is  a  model,  but  we  question  if  he  is  not  too  heavy  in  bone 
and  body.  He  was  in  prime  condition.  He  presents  a  better 
profile  than  Jeannot  second,  and  is  better  in  length  of  muzzle 
but  is  much  too  coarse  in  skull.  He  carries  his  ears  back  in 
the  ruff  all  right,  but  cannot  erect  them  properly,  they  are 
also  too  large  and  heavy.  His  under  coat  is  excellent,  but 
his  outer  coat  too  soft.  Jeannot,  a  fine  rich  sable  and  white, 
is  equally  as  straight  and  sound  in  limb,  has  equally  as  good 
feet  and  is  better  in  skull,  carriage  of  ears  and  outer  coat, 
equal  in  under  coat  and  eqi'al  in  size  and  shape  of  ear, 
though  his  also  are  too  large.  Jeannot  also  excels  in 
expression  and  collie  character,  and  we  think  should 
have  woo.  Fordhook  Challenger,  third,  was  rightly  placed. 
His  skull  is  a  bit  too  thick,  ears  too  heavy  and  not  well  car- 
ried, good  in  both  outer  and  under  coat,  but  his  legs  are  all 
wrong,  his  front  feet  touch  each  other  when  he  stands  and  he 
is  cow  hocked.  General  Stack,  reserve,  is  too  thick  in  skull 
and  carries  his  ears  badly.  The  texture  of  his  coat  is  good 
but  he  has  not  enough  of  i-.  Duke,  V.  H,  C.  is  one  of  the 
old  style  black  and  tans,  he  carries  the  best  tail  of  the  lot 
but  is  coarse  in  skull  and  has  too  much  stop.  His  outer  coat 
is  very  good.  Tirri  N.,  given  H.  C,  is  a  tan  and  white 
mongrel. 

The  bitch  class  were  well  placed.  Floss  is  a  trifle  small 
and  soft  in  coat  but  has  much  the  best  head  in  the  class  and 
the  sweetest  expression  we  ever  saw  on  a  dog.  Her  ears  are 
good  but  might  be  carried  a  little  better.  In  body,  legs  and 
feet  she  is  excellent.  Tail  well  carried.  Fordhook  Sage, 
second,  is  too  thick  in  skull ;  she  has  the  best  ear  in  the  class. 
She  is  badly  out  of  coat  but  undoubtedly  carries  a  good  one 
when  in  condition.  Sunshine,  tbird,  has  the  best  muzzle  and 
best  profile,  skull  good,  but  carries  one  ear  very  poorly.  She 
is  out  of  coat  but  the  outer  coat  is  of  good  texture. 

In  dog  puppies,  Moro,  the  winner,  is  the  best  headed  collie 
in  the  show,  though  he  has  not  the  soft  intelligent  expression 
of  his  dam,  Floss.  He  has  a  very  fair  coat  but  it  is  a  little  soft 
at  sides  and  back.  Feet  and  legs  good.  Charlie,  second,  has 
good  head,  ears  and  expression,  good  outer  coat  but  very 
much  out  of  condition.  Blondie,  third,  has  a  nice  expression 
but  is  too  prominent  above  the  eyes,  a  bit  weafc  in  pasterns 
and  soft  and  light  in  coat  and  color. 

BULL  TERRIERS. 

Twilight,  the  well-known  winner,  won  in  challenge  class. 
She  holds  her  age  well,  has  not  grown  the  least  cheeky  and 
barring  being  out  of  shape  from  maternal  cares  was  in  fine 
condition.  Chief,  a  son  of  Twilight,  beat  his  sire  Adonis  in 
open  dog  class.  He  is  longer  and  cleaner  in  head,  a  bit  long 
in  feet  but  otherwise  a  grandly  put  up  dog.  Adonis,  second, 
has  grown  cheeky,  loses  character  from  not  being  cropped  __ 
and  is  a  bit  wide  in  front.  Peter,  third,  should  not  have  been 
noticed.     He  is  a  pit  bull,  not  a  bull  terrier. 

BULL  DOGS. 

A  fair  specimen  of  the  French  Bull  dog  (a  very  fair  Bos- 
ton Terrier),  won  in  Bull  dog  class.  Roxie  entered  as  a  bull 
terrier  but  transferred  to  the  bull  dog  bitch  class,  was  given 
second  prize.  She  should  have  been  classed  as  a  Boston  Ter- 
rier and  was  entitled  to  a  first  in  that  class,  but  as  a  bull 
bitch  she  was  not  worth  a  C  card. 

FOX  TERRIERS. 

Blemton  Brilliant,  first  in  challenge  bitches,  shows  age  and 
was  shown  too  fat.  She  is  short  in  head,  has  a  nice  ear  but 
would  do  with  more  length  of  coat. 

In  open  dogs  Raby  Rasper  was.again  the  winner.  He  is  a 
bit  coarse,  skull  of  good  length  but  too  thick,  muzzle  long  and 
powerful,  eyes  too  soft  in  expression,  ears  carried  well  but 
might  be  thinner  in  leather,  coat  abundant  but  a  bit  soft ;  he 
is  heavy  in  shoulders  and  wide  in  front,  bone  excellent, 
front  lees  straight,  hind  legs  well  bent  and  powerful,  feet  ex- 
cellent. He  stands  and  moves  well,  and  all  in  all  is  a  hard 
one  to  beat.  Lansdowne  Desperado,  second,  has  a  very  good 
head,  a  little  domed  in  skull,  ears  small  and  well  shaped  but 
carried  out  a  little  too  far  from  his  head,  coat  excellent,  being 
both  hard  and  abundant,  body,  legs  and  feet  good.  Blemton 
Reefer,  third,  is  full  of  quality  and  has  to  our  notion  the 
best  head  in  the  class.  He  has  also  the  best  front,  good  coat, 
chest  might  be  a  little  deeper  and  legs  a  wee  bit  shorter,  but 
he  is  handicapped  by  having  lost  a  piece  of  one  ear  and  his 
intact  ear  is  poorly  carried.  Lucky,  reserve,  should  not  have 
beaten  Hillside  Orlando,  V.  H.  C.  Lucky  is  soft  in  coal, 
too  short,  heavy  and  coarse  in  head  and  wide  in  front.  Too 
small  and  cloddy.  Hillside  Orlando  is  also  a  little  under- 
sized and  weak  in  muzzle.  His  coat  is  of  good  texture  and 
in  body,  legs  and  feet  he  is  better  than  Lucky. 

The  bitch  class  was  the  best  ever  shown  on  the  Coast. 
Dauntless  Suzttte,  the  winner,  we  think,  was  rightly  placed. 
Her  head  is  of  good  length,  ears  a  trifle  large,  but  carried 
nicely,  body,  legs  and  feet  good,  coat  a  bit  soft.  Shown  in 
whelp.  De  Oro,  second,  has  a  skull  that  is  too  domed,  ears 
carried  out  a  trifle  too  far,  coat  good.  We  preferred  Daunt- 
less While  Violet,  V.  H.  C,  for  the  position.  She  has  good 
length  of  head,  ears  of  good  size  and  well  carried,  but  a  bit 
heavy  in  leather,  coat  too  soft.  She  is  a  trifle  weak  in  under 
jaw,  but  excells  De  Oro  in  body,  legs  and  feet,  and  has  a  bet- 
ter head.  Nellie,  third,  has  a  good,  long  head  and  well-car- 
ried ears,  but  was  shown  too  fat  and  should  be  retired.  Aside 
from  the  brindled  markings,  she  is  getting  thick  in  skull  and 
wide  in  front,  coat  good.  Zuma  II,  reserve,  we  thought 
lucky.  She  was  shown  in  splendid  condition.  She  is  too 
short  in  head  and  domed  in  skull,  ears  too  heavy  in  leather, 
coat  hard  but  short,  wide  in  front,  but  excellent  in  body,  legs 
and  feet.  We  thought  Blemton  Spinaway,  V.  H.  C,  and 
Stilletto,  V.  H.  C,  should  have  taken  higher  positions.  The 
former  is  a  little  short  in  head,  but  has  a  small  ear  fairly  well 
carried,  good  bone,  good  body,  legs  and  feet.  Her  coat  might 
be  harsher.  Stilletto  has  a  good  length  of  head  and  fair  coat, 
might  be  better  in  skull  and  carries  one  ear  lower  than  the 
other.  She  is  too  coarse.  Bunnie  Biddy,  V.  H.  C,  is  domed  in 
skull,  carries  her  ears  too  wide  out,  coat  might  be  harsher, 
and  she  is  a  trifle  weak  in  pasterns.  She  has  good  feet  and 
fair  bone.     Mission  Belle,  also  V.  H.  C,  has  a  good  length  of

head,  but  is  weak  in  muzzle,  ears  thin  in  leather  and  well 
shaped,  but  carried  too  far  forward,  coat  too  short,  bone  too 
light  and  body  too  long.     She  was  shown  in  fine  condition. 

Inferno  was  alone  in  novice  dogs  and  won.  He  is  a  well- 
built  dog.  but  a  bit  coarse.  Head  of  fair  leDgth,  jaw  power- 
ful, ears  heavy  in  leather  and  long. 

In  dog  puppies  Golden  Toy  very  rightly  won.  He  has  a 
good  skull,  muzzle  long  and  powerful,  ears  a  bit  large  and 
heavy,  but  carried  well ;  coat  the  hardest  in  the  show,  but 
not  as  abundant  as  Desperado's,  his  only  competitor  in  coat. 
He  is  of  good  size,  with  nice  body  and  limbs.  He  won  the 
special  for  best-bred  on  the  coast,  and  in  our  estimation  might 
well  have  won  as  best  in  the  show.  Boxer,  second,  is  too 
light  and  toyish,  too  long  in  ear,  coat  soft  and  short. 

In  bitch  puppies,  Langtry,  the  winner,  has  good  length  of 
head,  ears  too  long  and  carried  wide  at  base ;  coat  short,  but 
of  fair  texture,  and  might  be  better  in  feet.  Dauntless  White 
Violet,  second,  we  described  in  open  class.  Ripple  II.,  third, 
has  too  much  stop,  ears  small,  thin  and  well  carried,  coat  too 
soft. 

BLACK   AND   TAN   TERRIERS. 

Two  of  this  breed  were  shown,  and  they  are  the  first  typical 
ones  that  we  have  seen  on  the  coast.  A  little  more  size 
would  improve  them.  The  dog  Dan  is  especially  good  in 
head.  The  bitch  Nellie  is  the  best  marked,  but  slightly 
domed  in  skull.  A  would-be  critic  has  called  them  too 
large.  Were  five  pounds  added  to  each  they  would  still  be 
typical  specimens. 

PUGS. 

Royal  Dusky  won  in  open  dog  class.  We  described  him  at 
Los  Angeles.  We  stated  that  his  toes  were  black  in  that 
report.  They  are  not,  they  are  only  clouded.  Dudie,  first 
in  bitches,  is  too  long  in  ear,  has  a  very  fair  skull  and  mozz'e, 
but  lacks  wrinkle. 

JAPANESE  SPANIELS. 

A  first-class  specimen,  Kelo,  won  first  in  open  dog  class.  He 
has  a  good  skull,  nice,  short  muzzle,  nice  front  and  very  good 
coat.  Nellie,  first  in  bitches,  is  not  as  good  in  coat  as  the 
dog,  but  has  good  skull  and  mazzle  and  is  quite  typical. 
Fanny,  entered  as  a  pug,  wen  second  in  this  class.  She  is  evi- 
dently a  cross  of  English  Png  and  Japanese  Spaniel,  and 
should  not  have  been  noticed. 

ITALIAN   GREYHOUNDS. 

One  Italian  Greyhound,  Queenie,  appeared  in  the  bitch 
class.  She  is  a  very  nice  specimen,  just  on  the  limit  of  weight. 
Her  coat  should  be  finer  and  softer. 

MISCELLANEOUS. 

A  very  fair  Chow-Cbow  or  Chinese  edible  dog  and  a  mon- 
grel spaniel  competed  in  this  class.  The  spaniel  won.  We 
think  it  would  puazle  the  judge  to  tell  why.  The  Chow-Chow 
is  a  very  fair  representative  of  his  breed.  Tongue  and  mouth 
as  black  as  ink,  with  a  typical  head,  good  coat,  good  body, 
legs  and  feet.  This  dog  is  not  a  Spitz  or  Pomeranian  Span- 
iel, and  differs  materially  from  that  breed  in  coat,  mouth  and 
carriage  of  tail.  Thespaniel  was  evidently  a  cross  between  a 
King  Charles  and  a  Chinchilla  poodle,  and  should  not  have 
been  noticed.

The  Fisherman's  Luck. 


There's  a  fanny  kind  of  feelin'  that  a  feller  cant  define 
When  he  sees  the  water  ripplin'  from  the  wigelin'  of  his  line;

Jest  a-pausin'  fer  a  minnit  to  give  the  fish  a  better  start. 

There's  a  nervous  sort  of  qniver  in  the  careful  outstretched  hard,

Fishing  in  the  San  Lorenzo  near  Ben  Lomond  is  reported 
good. 

Charles  Precht  caught  a  fine  mess  of  trout  at  Tacolomalast 
week. 


C.  Cate  had  his  usual  luck  at  Pilarcitos  on   Sunday  week, 
basketing  60  trout. 

Abe  Haas  had  excellent  success  whipping  the  trout  streams 
in  the  vicinity  of  Los  Gatos  last  week. 


The  picnic  at  Bravo  Lake  on  May  25lh  for  the  purpose  of 
blowing  up  the  carp  was  not  a  success.  About  fifty  charges 
of  dynamite  were  exploded,  but  few  fish  were  killed  as  there 
was  too  much  water  in  the  lake. 


E.  P.  Unangst,  G.  W.  Kemp,  W.  H.  Spencer  and  Arthur 
Volmer  returned  to  San  Luis  Obispo  last  week  from  a  fishing 
trip  to  the  headwaters  of  Lopez  creek,  near  Arroyo  Grande. 
They  report  the  capture  of  700  tront. 

The  motor  sloop  Alpha  of  the  California  Fish  Company, 
with  their  S40-foot  purse  seine,  lately  received  from  the  East, 
caught  in  its  meshes  on  its  first  trial  between  13  and  lo  tons 
of  sardines,  and  the  time  occupied  in  making  this  immense 
haul  did  not  exceed  four  hours. — Los  Angeles  Herald. 

San  Diego  Bay  is  literally  alive  with,  small  fish,  such  as 
anchovies,  herring  and  smelt.  Sea  trout,  halibut  and  black 
bass  are  being  caught  from  the  different  wharves  in  great 
numbers.  The  appearance  of  game  fish  in  the  bay  in  such 
numbers  is  attributed  to  the  fact  that  the  laws  protecting  fish 
are  being  strictly  enforced  in  that  section.

The  Santa  Barbara  Independent  calls  attention  to  the 
rapid  consumption  of  abalones  which  are  sent  to  China  in 
great  quantities,  and  thinks  that  the  Legislature  should  in- 
clude the  abalone  in  the  fish  and  game  laws,  and  pass  an 
amendment  that  only  the  old  tough  ones  should  be  picked  for 
a  few  years,  until  a  generation  or  two  can  gain  a  foothold. 


The  Fish  and  Game  Commissioners  recently  appointed  two 
deputies  for  the  district  of  Ontario,  Cal.,  to  look  after  the  fish 
and  game  laws,  and  from  George  M.  Gee,  one  of  the  deputy 
commissioners,  we  learn  that  he  has  secured  15,000  Eastern 
brook  trout,  of  which  10,000  have  been  put  in  the  Santa  Ana 
river  and  5,000  in  Mill  creek.  If  fishermen  are  careful  this 
summer  not  to  catch  little  fish  and  the  game  laws  are  enforced, 
there  will  be  an  abundance  of  trout  in  coming  years. — Ex. 


A  letter  from  J.  Sob  Johnson,  secretary  of  the  Visalia 
Sportsman  Club  to  the  Hanford  Review,  says  that  1,500  black 
bass  arrived  safely  on  Tuesday  evening  and  were  at  once 
sent  to  the  Kaweah  and  planted  near  the  Pogue  ranche. 
Those  which  are  intended  for  Bravo  Lake  being  placed  in  a 
watering  trough  in  Mr.  Huffakers'  livery  stable  until  the  lake 
had  been  cleared  out  of  carp,  etc..  and  then  prepared  for  them. 
Mr.  Crocker,  of  the  State  Fish  Commission  who  accompanied 
the  fish  to  Visalia,  stated  to  Mr.  Johnson  that  the  little  bass 
are  bound  to  do  well,  and  that  after  they  are  about  one  year 
old  the  carp  and  other  muddy  nuisances  will  commeoce  to 
move.  The  black  bass  is  the  gamest  fish  on  earth  and  the 
club  is  very  proud  of  receiving  this  consignment,  which  is 
considered  by  the  members  as  a  compliment  from  the  State 
Fish  Commissioners,  who  appear  to  understand  the  interest 
that  is  being  taken  by  the  club  in  the  interests  of  fishing.  Mr. 
Johnson  says  that  the  pheasants  are  fine,  and  that  a  pen  32x 
32  and  12  feet  high  has  been  constructed  for  them  on  Wash- 
burns  ranch,  where  they  will  breed  and  then  be  distrfbuted. 
Kings  County  may  get  some  of  them  if  the  Supervisors  will 
pass  a  law  prohibiting  anyone  frcm  shootiug  them  for  a  space 
of  years. 

Fishing  in  the  Feather. 


Four  varieties  of  game  fish  have  been  planted  in  the 
Feather  river  near  Marysville  in  recent  years,  says  the 
Marysville  Democrat,  some  of  them  now   being   over  three 


years  of  age.  The  large-mouth  black  bass,  the  yellow  perch 
and  the  grass  pike  were  brought  from  the  East  three  years 
ago,  the  small-mouth  black  bass  being  taken  from  Crystal 
Springs  Lake,  San  Mateo  County,  nearly  two  years  ago. 

The  first  three  varieties  were  quite  small  when  brought 
here,  but  the  last  named  fish  were  two  years  old  when 
dropped  into  the  river  three  miles  above  this  city.  These 
fish  have  all  done  well,  judging  by  reports  of  persons  re- 
siding near  the  river  and  others  who  have  seen  some  of  them 
at  different  periods.  There  were  a  large  number  of  the 
young  fry  seen  last  year  in  September,  when  the  water  was 
low  and  clear,  and  it  is  presumed  they  have  done  nicely. 

After  July  1st  these  fish  may  be  taken  without  violating 
law  or  the  rules  of  protection,  and  it  is  hoped  that  no  person 
will  wantonly  destroy  them  then  as  they  have  cost  much 
money  and  great  care.  The  habits  of  bass  are  peculiar,  they 
do  not  seem  to  depend  closely  on  temperature  as  do  nearly  all 
other  fresh  water  fish,  they  sinking  to  the  bottom  in  the 
deepest  places  and  remain  in  a  state  of  hibsrnation  for  weeks 
ata  time.  With  them  the  spawning  seasoo  occurs  in  May 
as  a  rule,  though  in  the  waters  of  the  Feather  river,  par- 
ticularly when  it  is  as  cool  and  high  as  during  this  month, 
the  majority  will  not  reach  the  spawning  beds  before  June 
10th  to  loth.  The  eggs  are  deposited  on  the  bottom  in  rows 
and  stick  to  whatever  substance  may  be  found  there,  where 
they  hatch  in  about  twelve  to  fifteen  days,  according  to  tem- 
perature of  the  water.  The  yellow  perch  spawn  in  April 
and  May  in  very  nearly  the  same  manner  as  the  bass  and 
hatch  out  in  two  weeks,  seldom  reaching  a  greater  weight 
than  one  pound.  The  pike  spawn  in  March  and  they  seek 
shallow  places  and  a  clean  bottom,  requiring  from  fifteen  to 
twenty  days  to  hatch,  they  being  a  very  active  fish.  Each  of 
these  varieties  are  game  on  the  hook  and  next  to  the  trout 
fornish  the  best  sport  of  any  of  the  fresh  water  fish,  the  bass 
being  a  very  game  fish  when  at  the  age  of  three  or  four  years. 
There  is  rare  sport  in  store  for  tho3e  who  appreciate  angling 
and  will  be  satisfied  with  a  few  at  a  time  between  July  1st 
and  about  the  middle  of  October. 


A  Good  Fish  Story. 


The  Redlands  Citrograph  is  a  pretty  good  fish  liar  itself, 
and  can  hold  its  own  in  any  amateur  contest.  It  has  just  now 
commenced  warming  up  and  perpetrates  the  following  at  its 
first  trial.  After  it  has  been  sweated  out,  scraped  and  rubbed 
down  a  few  times  it  intends  to  go  for  a  record. 

It  says :  "  Mat  Norris  brought  in  a  lot  of  trout  from  Bear 
Valley  this  week  and  brought  a  story  along  with  him,  which 
was  vouched  for  by  the  fish  he  had.  The  writer  measured 
one  trout  which  was  thirty-one  inches  long,  while  several 
other  were  nearly  as  long.  They  were  evidently  descendants 
of  the  Tahoe  trout  placed  in  the  lake  several  years  ago. 

"  Mr.  Norris  said  he  was  returning  from  a  prospecting  tour 
with  two  companions,  and  happened  to  be  passing  a  small 
brook  in  which  thousands  of  immense  trout  were  floundering, 
trying  to  work  their  way  up  the  stream,  and  hundreds  of 
skeletons  scatttered  about  showed  how  the  coyotes  had  been 
feasting  for  days.  In  the  stream  was  a  bar  over  which  the 
fish  had  difficulty  in  crawling,  and  his  sympathy  was  aroused 
to  such  ao  extent  that  he  induced  his  companion  to  halt  and 
aid  the  fish.  For  ten  hours  the  three  men  stood  in  their 
tracks,  lifting  the  fish  over  the  bar,  and  there  was  such  a 
multitude  of  fish  behind,  reaching  clear  to  the  lake,  that  all 
were  forced  to  advance  and  the  men  could  barely  lift  them 
over  the  bar  fast  enough  to  prevent  a  blockade  of  the  fish 
being  formed. 

"For  ten  hours  the  men  struggled  under  their  self-imposed 
task,  and  finally,  becoming  exhausted,  they  abandoned  their 
job,  believing  that  if  the  fool  fish  wanted  to  stack  themselves 
up  they  would  be  permitted  to  do  so. 

"  In  the  course  of  an  hour  after  quitting  work  they  saw 
thousands  of  fish  piling  up.  They  were  therefore  astounded 
when  they  saw  the  fish  gathering  into  two  long  rows,  thus 
forming  a  new  channel  for  the  brook  into  which  the  others 
entered  and  wor  .ed  their  way  without  trouble  around  the  bar 
and  on  up  the  stream. 

"Disgusted  with  themselves  for  their  useless  efforts  they 
determined  to  have  revenge,  and  picked  up  a  couple  of  dozen 
of  the  fish  and  brought  them  away." — Hanford  Review.

Carp  and  Catfish. 

Visalia  has  taken  steps  to  destroy  all  the  German  carp 
which  have  found  a  place  in  its  neighboring  waters,  because 
they  are  deemed  worthless  as  food  fishes.  Carp  and  catfish 
were  introduced  into  the  San  Joaqoin  and  other  streams  and 
in  the  ponds  and  lakes  in  the  foothills  of  the  Sierras,  displac- 
ing native  perch.  The  Stockton  Mail  now  prays  for  the  ex- 
termination of  both  carp  and  catfish  and  the  restoration  of 
the  native  perch,  which  it  says  is  a  splendid  food  fish.  It  was, 
undoubtedly,  a  mistake  to  import  both  carp  and  catfish,  and  to 
stock  our  waters  with  them.  The  carp  were  broueht  here 
from  Germany  by  an  eothusiastlcGerman  resident  of  Sonoma 
valley  and  they  have  spread  everywhere.  Carp  is  a  coarse, 
muddy  fish.  It  has  become  so  numerous  in  some  of  the 
streams  that  sportsmen  say  it  has  destroyed  the  feed  of  wild 
ducks — the  wild  rice — on  which  it  pastures,  and  that  duck 
hunting  will,  in  consequence,  die  out  in  this  State  in  a  few 
years*  time  unless  a  wholesale  slaughter  of  carp  occurs.  The 
importation  of  catfish  was  due  to  Fish  Commissioner  B.  B. 
Redding,  now  deceased,  and  was  deplored  by  him  as  the  one 
mistake  he  had  made  during  the  administration  of  his  office.

The    Japanese   Pheasant. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — The  Fish  Commis- 
sioners have  recently  brought  into  the  State  a  number  of 
Japanese  pheasants  with  the  view  of  stocking  California  with 
these  birds.  It  is  an  acknowledged  fact  that  wherever  the 
pheasant  gets  a  foothold  the  quail,  as  well  as  grouse,  entirely 
disappear.  They  are  driven  away  and  their  nestings  destroyed 
by  this  combative,  handsome  but  dangerous  bird.  The  dis- 
appearance of  all  our  song  birds  on  the  advent  of  the  English 
sparrow  is  a  parallel  case.  Is  it  not  high  time  to  consider  the 
danger  of  this  business?  There  is  no  game  bird  on  earth  the 
peer  of  our  crested,  pert  and  game  California  quail,  and  it  is 
far  from  the  part  of  wisdom  to  risk  his  utter  extinction  for 
the  sake  of  introducing  the  Japanese  pheasant,  that  is,  at  his 
very  best,  a  running  crop-destroying  and  most  unsatisfactory 
bird  afield. 

We  are  indebted  to  the  Fish  Commissioners  for  the  catfish 
and  the  carp.  It  is  time  a  halt  was  called.  Let  us  at  all 
hazards  protect  our  California  quail.  "California

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


The  Lincoln  Gun  Club  will  shoot  to-morrow  at  its  grounds 
at  Alameda  Mole. 


The  San  Jose  sportsmen  are  clamoring  for  an  open  season 
on  doves  opening  July  1st. 

There  will  be  prize  shooting  every  Sunday  at  Oakland 
Race  Track,  commencing  at  1  o'clock. 

The  supervisors  of  San  Diego  county  have  changed  the 
open  season  on  doves  to  September  15  to  May  1st. 

The  supervisors  of  Alameda  county  have  changed  the  open- 
ing of  the  dove  seasoo  from  August  1st  to  July  1st. 

The  Banning  Bros,  have  shipped  to  Avalon,  Gatalina,  sev- 
eral pairs  of  Chinese  pheasants  for  breeding  purposes. 

The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Association  will  hold  a 
tournament  on  July  4th  at  Joe  Dieves  three-mile  house,  San 
Leandro  road. 

The  San  Mateo  Gun  Club  was  formed  at  San  Mateo  last 
week.  The  club  contains  about  twenty  members  and  will 
shoot  clay  pigeons. 

The  Santa  Barbara  County  Club  is  the  name  of  a  new  or- 
ganization about  to  spring  into  existence  at  Santa  Barbara. 
Boating  is  the  prime  object. 

At  the  great  blue  rock  tournament  at  Knoxville,  out  of  495 
blue  rocks  6hot  at,  Heikes  broke  473,  Gay  466,  Rike  464,  Par- 
malee  461,  Fulford  460,  R.  Van  Gilder  454. 


The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Club  shoot  to-day  at 
Oaklaud  Race  Track.  The  AUmeda  County  Sportsmen's 
Association  shoot  at  Joe  Dieves,  San  Leandro  road,  to-mor- 
row. 

New  blue  rock  clubs  are  being  formed  daily  all  over  the 
State.  Why  is  it  that  our  college  boys  have  never  taken  up 
this  sport'/  A  match  between  Berkeley  and  Stanford  teams 
would  be  very  interesting. 

The  members  of  two  San  Francisco  Gun  Clubs  are  shoot- 
ing rail  in  Alameda  and  Santa  Clara  counties  at  present 
writing.  The  Fish  and  Game  Commissioners  have  been  noti- 
fied of  this  fact.     Will  they  act  upon  it? 

The  Northwest  Sportsman  has  taken  the  plank  that  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  introduced  in  California,  viz., 
game  wardens.  A  game  warden  for  every  county  is  the  only 
method  by  which  we  can  enforce  the  game  laws. 

Blue  rock  shooting  continues  to  boom,  so  much  so  that  at 
present  writing  there  is  not  n  blue  rock  in  San  Francisco. 
The  Selby  Co.  have  some  300,000  en  route,  however,  and  a 
few  of  them  will  unquestionably  appear  shortly. 

There  will  be  a  grand  blue  rock  tournament  in  July  at 
Oakland  Kice  Track.  A  prize  class  shoot  and  other  events 
will  keep  the  shooters  busy  breaking  (or  missing)  blue  rocks 
for  two  days.  As  Clabrough,  Golcher  it  Co.  do  nothing  bv 
halves,  a  very  enjoyable  shoot  is  anticipated. 

Judge  Denny  says  thai  in  proposing  the  law  passed  at  the 
last  legislature  to  prevent  pheasants  being  shipped  out  of  the 
State,  it  was  not  intended  to  prevent  live  birds  being  shipped 
for  the  purpose  of  slocking  other  States.  This  matter  was 
overlooked,  bnt  he  will  have  it  rectified  at  the  next  session  of 
the  legislature.  He  says  his  idea  in  sending  Ihe  pheasants 
here  was  first  to  stock  the  State  with  a  fine  game  and  Food 
bird,  and,  when  the  birds  had  increased  and  spread  suffici- 
ently, to  supply  birds  to  stock  other  States.  He  has  so  ex- 
pensed himself  tofiame  Protector  McOuire,  who  understands 
the  situation  thoroughly.  The  attempt  to  have  parties  con- 
nected with  the  shipment  of  some  pheasants  a  short  time  ago 
to  stock  some  counties  in  California  mulcted  in  a  fine  is  not 
in  be  attributed  to  Mr.  McGuire,  but  to  parties  having  more 
I  'I  zeal  than  discretion,  and  anxious  to  get  a  share  of 
any  fine  thai  might  be  imposed. 


The  second  number  of  the  Puget  Sound  Sportsman  is  at 
hand.  This  new  candidate  for  the  patronage  of  sportsmen 
deserves  success.  It  is  neatly  printed,  full  of  interesting  mat- 
ter and  is  started  upon  the  right  lines.  The  well-known  Irish 
setter  fancier  and  sportsman,] J.  C.  Nattrass,  is  at  thelhead  of 
affairs,  and  we  wish  him  every  possible  success  with  his  new 
venture.     The  paper  is  published  at  New  Whatcom,  Wash. 

At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's 
Association  on  Tuesday  evening  last,  the  question  of  advocat- 
ing the  closing  of  the  open  season  on  rail  for  one  year  was 
warmly  espoused  by  the  members.  It  was  thought,  however, 
that  there  would  be  no  protection  unless  the  supervisors  of 
Santa  Clara  county  conld  be  induced  to  pass  a  similar  ordi- 
nance, the  marshes  adjoining.  In  view  of  this  fact  it  was 
resolved  that  the  club  communicate  with  the  Garden  City 
Gun  Club  and  request  them  to  co-operate  with  them.  Rail 
are  becoming  exceedingly  scarce  in  Alameda  and  Santa  Clara 
counties,  and  unless  they  are  protected  at  once  they  will 
become  absolutely  extinct. 

Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Oo.'s  Prize  Match. 


The  regular  weekly  prize  shoot  at  Clabrough,  Golcher  & 
Co.'s  shooting  grounds  at  Oakland  Race  Track  broughl  out  a 
good  attendance  on  Sunday  last.  Ashcroft  won  a  fish  basket 
and  razor  with  16,  Eugene  Foster  won  the  second  class 
prize  with  15,  Durst  the  third  class  prize  with  14,  Gosberg 
the  fourth  with  12,  a  Heikes  hand  protector.  The  match  was 
at  20  singles,  known  traps,  known  angles,  $1  entrance,  Edgar

In  the  contest  for  first  place  Charles  Leighton  won  the 
prize,  an  elegant  sole-leather  gun-case.  In  shooting  off  the 
tie  for  second  place  M.  Houser  won,  the  prize  being  100 
loaded  shells.  The  third  prize  was  won  by  Joe  Singer,  an 
elegantjpearl-handled  pocket-knife.  The  fourth  prize,  a  fine 
lancewood  cleaning  rod,  was  won  by  Ed.  Gibson.  Among  the 
features  of  the  day  was  the  shooting  of  Lou  Ralph,  who  scored 
59  out  of  a  possible  64,  while  several  other  shooters  did 
nearly  as  ffell.     Everything  passed  off  smoothly. 

Birds  of  New  Zealand  and  Patagonia. 

New  Zealand,  as  it  is  scarcely  necessary  to  remind  the 
reader,  is  celebrated  for  the  remains  of  those  extinct  giants 
of  the  family  known  as  moas.  Their  bones  are  found  all 
over  the  two  main  islands  of  which  the  colony  consists,  and 
they  might  have  been  gathered  in  the  early  years  of  the  set- 
tlement by  Europeans  in  vast  numbers  from  off  the  surface  of 
the  ground,  especially  in  the  interior  of  the  provinces  of 
Canterbury  and  Otago,  or  from  the  sandy  flats  of  the  larger 
rivers  where  they  had  become  exposed  by  the  action  of  the 
wind.  They  have  also  been  found  in  caves,  under  rock  shel- 
ter, and  in  the  ancient  kitchen  middens  of  the  natives,  as  well 
as  exhumed  in  enormous  quantities  from  the  peat  bogs  of  both 
islands,  where  they  have  been  discovered  huddled  together  in 
crowds  of  many  hundreds. 

These  birds  varied  very  greatly  in  size,  the  larger  speci- 
mens attaining  a  statue  of  from  ten  to  twelve  feet.  They  had 
bones  of  herculean  proportions,  and,  needless  to  say,  they 
were  quite  unable  to  fly,  being,, indeed,  devoid  of  wings. 
Their  feathers,  which,  singularly  enough,  have  been  preserved 
to  us  in  considerable  numbers,  show  that  each  had  an  after 
shaft  equal  in  length  to  the  primary  plumes  of  their  contour 
feathers — forming,  as  it  were,  a  double  feather — a  character- 
istic mark  of  the  ostriches  of  the  Australian  region,  the  emus 
and  cassowaries;  and  they  all  possessed,  on  the  metatarsal 
bone,  articular  pulleys  for  three  toes  instead  of  two,  as  the 
African  ostrich  has.  Australia  also  included  in  its  bird  fauna 
of  ancient  days  a  giant  ostrich,  the  dromornis,  and  now  pos- 
sesses the  emu,  while  New  Guinea  reckons  at  the  present 
time  the  cassowary — of  which  one  species  crosses  iDto  Aus- 
tralia— among  its  wonderful  bird  inhabitants. 

In  the  distant  island  of  Madagascar  also  there  flourished 
once,  though  now  extinct,  a  member  of  the  same  family,  the 
Aepyornis,  a  giant,  if  not  in  height,  at  all  events  in  the  bulk 
and  dimensions  of  its  limbs,  which  appear  to  have  exceeded 
those  of  even  the  most  elephantine  of  the  moas.  Yet  another 
stately  member,  the  Brontornis,  lived  in  early  ages  in  South- 
ern Patagonia,   a   necessarily  flightless   bird,  which,  as  we 


Jtoe  9, 1894]

know  from  its  fossil  remains,  far  excelled  in  stature  even  the 
tallest  of  its  New  Zealand  relatives. 

This  remarkable  group  of  birds,  therefore,  we  find  occupied 
New  Zealand,  Australia,  Madagascar  and  South  America — 
that  is,  their  distribution  extended  right  round,  and  was 
practically  confined  to  the  lands  of  the  Southern  Hemisphere, 
in  which  the  area  that  each  occupies  is  seen  from  a  study  of 
the  map  to  be  separated  from  the  other  by  vast  stretches  of 
unbridged  ocean— The  Fortnightly  Review. 

The  Olympic  Trap  Shooting  Club. 


The  shooting  members  of  the  Olympic  Club  met  at  their 
club  house  on  Monday  evening  last  and  organized  the  Olym- 
pic Trap  Shooting  Club-  The  following  officers  were  elected  ; 
President,  G.  H.  T.  Jackson;  Vice-President,  Dr.  E.  N.  Short;

Prizes  will  be  given  at  each  monthly  shoot,  and  medals  at 
the  close  of  the  season.  The  men  will  be  put  into  classes  ac- 
cording to  the  number  of  birds  they  break.  At  the  final  shoot 
the  members  will  be  classified  according  to  their  average  dur- 
ing the  season.  The  first  shoot  will  be  held  to-morrow  at  Oak- 
land Race  Track.  Members  will  taKe  the  11  o'clock  boat. 

California  'Wing:  Shooting  Club. 


The  regular  monthly  shoot  of  the  California  Wing  Shoot- 
ing Club,  at  Oakland  Race  Track,  on  Sunday  last,  resulted 
in  another  win  for  "Slade"  with  ten  birds  to  his  credit,  C. 
Robinson,  H.  Golcher,  Robert  Liddle  and  "Lewis"  nine 
each  ,:  Brown  "  seven.   David  Thorn  officiated  as  referee. 


Sires  of  Pacers. 


As  a  sequel  to  the  article  we  latelv  copied  from  the  Detroit 
Free  Press,  a  list  has  been  prepared  of  the  3ires  whose  pro- 
duce has  been  nominated  for  the  four-year  old  2:25  class, 
pacing,  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club,  on  the  occasion  of  the 
inauguration  of  its  new  track  and  grounds  during  the  third 
week  in  July  next,  and  what  they  have  contributed  to  the 
Iateral-gaited  contingent  of  turf  performers.  First  among 
those  whose  names  appears  is  the  great  pacing-horse  sire 
Adrian  Wilkes,  sire  of  Roy  Wilkes,  2:06£,  Lillian,  2:14^. 
Waterloo  Boy,  2:141,  Maud  M.,  2:15i  aud  others.  He  is  the 
sire  of  eleven  trotters  and  six  pacers,  to  the  latter,  however' 
he  is  indebted  for  his  greatest  success  in  the  stud,  unless  his 
abilitv  as  a  broodmare  sire  is  taken  into  account.  He  sired 
the  dams  of  Axle,  three  years  old,  2:15|,  Jenny  Wilkes,  2:12i, 
L.  L.  D.,  four-year-old,  2:24£,  and  the  mysterious  Jordan, 
2:11*.  The  first  three  are  trotters,  the  latter  a  pacer  whose 
erratic  performances  were  trie  subject  of  much  comment  last 
season. 

Alcantara,  the  incomparable  son  of  George  Wilkes  and 
Alma  Mater,  has  sixty-five  performers,  fourteen  of  which  are 
Iateral-gaited.  His  fastest  is  Chronos,  2:12J,  but  close  in  his 
wake  comes  Foggy,  2:13]-,  Nightingale,  2:13£,  Bayard  Wilkes, 
2:13|,  and  Raven,  2:14}.  He  was  also  the  sire  of  the  dam  of 
Diablo,  the  sensational  four-year-old  pacer  of  last  season.  His 
representative  in  the  2:25  class  pacing  at  the  next  Blue  Rib- 
bon meeting  will  be  Janey,  2:24!,  dam  by  General  Knox. 

Next  on  the  list  comes  the  grand  Michigan  bred  stallion 
Jerome  Eddy,  2:16?r.  Of  the  eighteen  to  his  credU  on  the 
list,  but  three  are  pacers,  Lizziemont,  2:16|,  being  his  fastest. 
The  public  know  but  little  of  his  representative  Ella  Eddy,  as 
she  has  no  record,  but  from  the  fact  that  her  dam  was  by 
Rochester,  a  producing  son  of  Aberdeen,  and  that  she  is  en- 
tered where  she  is  liable  to  meet  some  very  entertaining 
company,  the  presumption  is,  she  must  be  a  good  one. 

Sphinx,  2:20&,  once  pronounced  the  "  greatest  young  horse 
in  America,"  is  another  Michigan  sire  with  thirteen  per- 
formers to  his  credit,  only  one  of  which,  Syrena,  2:25,  is  a 
pacer.  His  representative  in  the  2:25  pace  is  Cantab,  dam 
Home  Made,  by  Royal  Fearnaught.  He  is  the  property  of 
William  Wright,  of  this  city,  and  if  reports  can  be  relied  on, 
he  is  liable  to  be  a  troublesome  customer  before  tbe  race  is 
over.  He  is  said  to  have  shown  miles  better  than  2:20  as  a 
three-year-old. 

American  Boy,  record  2:26^,  an  intensely  pacing-bred  stat- 
ion, with  nine  pacers  and  not  a  single  trotter  on  his  list, 
sends  his  son,  William  V.,  to  bear  his  colors  to  the  front. 
William  V.'s  dam  is  Lady  Vic,  by  Ethan  Allen  473,  sire 
of  seven  trotters,  the  fastest  of  which  are  Archbishop  and 
Tuna,  each  with  a  mark  of  2:18J.  American  Boy  is  the 
sire  of  Cambridge  Girl,  2:12|.  His  representative  must  be 
considered  as  strictly  "  in  the  hunt." 

Steinway  (3),  2:25-},  by  Strathmore,  dam  Abbess,  sends 
his  card  in  from  California  with  the  name  of  Elf  engraven 
thereon.  In  maternal  line,  her  dam,  Bertha,  is  a  daughter 
of  the  great  Alcantara.  Steinway  has  seven  trotters  and 
five  pacers  to  his  credit.  Among  the  Iateral-gaited  ones 
may  be  mentioned  such  performers  as  W.  Wood,  2:08A, 
Cricket,  2:10  and  Free  Coinage,  2:11J.  With  that  artistic 
manipulator  of  the  ribbons  up  behind  her,  "Johnny"  Gold- 
smith, she  is  quite  likely  to  prove  an  important  factor  in 
any  class  to  which  she  is  eligible. 

Tom  Hal  (Martin's)  sends  a3  his  representative  Brook- 
aide,  a  full  brother  to  Red  Hal,  2:13:1.  The  Hal  family 
possess  two  essential  qualifications  in  racehorses,  namely: 
They  can  go  the  route  and  carry  the  clip  in  any  company. 
Wilko,  a  son  of  Simmons,  comes  next  on  the  list  with  his 
only  one  among  the  2:25  performers,  Whirlgig,  2;24A,  as  a 
two-year-old.  That  will  do  very  well ;  two  years  of  proper 
handling  has  probably  not  decreassd  her  speed  any. 

Brown  Hal,  2:12$,  the  sire  of  eleven  pacers  and  no  trot- 
ters, through  the  kindly  offices  of  Gil  Curry,  introduces  his 
daughter  Warrcan.  As  a  further  proof  of  her  royal  lineage 
and  eligibility  to  high-class  society,  her  dam  is  a  daughter 
of  Prince  Pulaski.  On  Brown  Hal's  roster  appear  such 
names  as  Hal  Dillard,  2:07k.  Hal  Braden,  2:08J  and  Hal 
Parker,  2:13],  a  sufficient  guarantee  that  his  representa- 
tives will  not  be  found  wanting  when  they  line  up  for  the 
word. 
Tennessee  Wilkes,  2:27,  by  George  Wilkes,  dam   by  Pea- 


vine,  a  strictly  trotting-bred  sire,  isjevenly  divided  in  his  pro- 
duce, having  sired  six  each  at  the  diagonal  and  lateral  gaits. 
His  pacers,  however,  are  by  far  his  best  performers,  Cassie, 
2:12!,  whose  dam  was  by  Enfield  (trotting  bred  again),  is  the 
fastest,  following  in  close  order  is  Ialene,  2:14,  and  Argot 
Wilkes,  2:14},  His  son  Minstrel  without  previous  record 
will  endeavor  so  add  fresh  lustre  to  his  name  as  a  pacing-horse 
sire. 

Pocahontas  Boy  is  by  Tom  Rolfe,  dam  by  Tom  Hal.  This 
semi-bred  pacer  has  six  trotters  and  eight  pacers  on  his  roll, 
but  as  usual  in  such  cases,  the  pacer3  are  his  winning  cards. 
Among  the  number  that  will  keep  hia  memory  fresh  and 
green  is  Buffalo  Girl,  2:12.V,  one  of  the  big  four  in  years 
gone  by.  She  is  the  only  one  of  his  get  that  ever  beat  2:15. 
It  is  to  be  hoped  his  son  Clay  Houstas  will  add  another  to 
his  fifteen  list. 

Chimes,  by  the  record,is  the  greatest  son  of  the  great  Elec- 
tioneer. Of  the  fifteen  sons  and  daughters  of  this  sire,  five 
are  endowed  with  the  pacing  instinct,  or  rather  conformation. 
Merry  Chimes  (4),  2:14£;  Fanny  Bug  (2),  2:17$;  Palo  Alto 
Chimes,  2:17i;  Ed  Easton,  2:18,  and  Era  Chimes,  2:19!.  It 
cannot  be  said  of  him  that  his  greatest  are  to  be  found  among 
the  side- wheelers,  for  Fantasy,  2:08!, the  world-beating  three- 
year-old,  would  rise  in  judgment  against  such  an  assertion. 
But  his  offspring  show  their  aptness  at  either  gait.  His 
representative  in  the  four-year-old  class,  pacing,  will  be  Mar- 
cella,  a  colt  without  a  record,  which  will  probably  not  be  the 
case  when  Geers  is  ready  for  the  christening,  which  is  quite 
likely  to  occur  the  third  week  in  July. 

Black  Victor,  2:27$,  the  royally-bred  son  of  Alcantara,  has 
but  one  on  the  list,  and  thata  trotter;  still  he  is  not  averse  to 
trying  conclusions  with  the  cleverest  of  the  four-year-olds  at 
the  lateral  gait.  To  that  end,  his  black  son,  Harry  Victor, 
will  traval  all  the  way  from  Colorado  Springs  to  measure 
strides  with  the  best  of  them  in  his  class. 

Kaiser,  2:28£,  another  grandly-bred  trotting  sire,  files  his 
claim  to  a  right  to  be  represented  as  a  pacing  sire  as  well. 
His  daughter,  Geraldine,  will  appear  before  the  judges  in  his 
behalf. 

Last  among  the  celebrities  whose  names  are  famous  wher- 
ever the  hoof-beat  of  the  pacer  or  trotter  is  heard  comes  Baron 
Wilkes,  record  2:18,  one  of  the  best  of  the  Wilkes  family, 
who  at  thirteen  years  of  age  has  twenty-four  performers  with 
records  from  2:22!  to  2:29!,  three  of  which  are  side  liners. 
His  fastest  is  Nydia  Wilkes,  2:12!,  &  pacer  that  is  as  pure  a 
trotting-bred  animal  as  stands  on  iron.  Her  dam,  Anna 
Belle,  is  by  Nutwood ;  second  dam  Lucia  (dam  of  Day 
Dream,  2:21  i),  by  Hambletonian  10;  third  dam  Trusty  (dam 
of  Deucalion,  2:22),  by  Marlborough.  Here  is  breeding  for 
you  of  the  richest  purple,  and  a  pacer  at  that.  Baron  Wilkes 
contributes  two  representatives  to  the  four-year-old  class, 
pacing,  Barondale  and  Rubinstein,  both  without  records. 

Of  the  sires  represented  whose  produce  have  not  yet  en- 
tered the  list  may  be  mentioned  Dunton  Wilkes,  Algoma, 
Latitude,  Enright,  Panama,  Worthless  Wilkes,  Sir  John  and 
Farragut,  all  richly-bred  and  most  of  them  with  highly  credit- 
able records.  This,  coupled  with  the  fact  their  produce  is  en- 
tered by  some  of  the  best  known  breeders  and  horsemen  in 
the  country,  is  a  sufficient  guarantee  of  their  quality.  It  will 
be  observed  that  the  trotting-bred  sire  of  Iateral-gaited  per- 
formers is  decidedly  in  the  majority,an other  evidence  of  con- 
formation controlling  the  instinct.  The  trotting-bred  sire 
that  has  not  a  liberal  sprinkling  of  pacers  in  the  list  is  cer- 
tainly at  a  disadva  ntage. — Horseman.

the    Dam    of 


[From  the  American  Horse  Breeder.] 

I  am  greatly  pleased  with  the  position  assumed  by  yonr 
journal  in  reference  to  the  dam  of  Georga  Wilkes.  A  pedi- 
gree that  has  been  so  thoroughly  exploded,  and  that  all  facts 
show  is  a  physical  impossibility,  should  step  down  and  out. 

The  following  is  a  true  copy  of  the  testimony  which  I  have 
been  weeks  collecting  (the  original  documents  will  at  once  be 
sent  to  Mr.  Steiner),  and  which  I  had  hoped  would  be  in 
time  to  submit  to  the  pedigree  committee  of  the  Register  As- 
sociation at  its  meeting  last  month,  but  delay  was  unavoid- 
oble. 

Mr.  Brodie,  the  author  of  Exhibit  A,  is  agent  for  Mr.  W. 
A.  Wadsworth,  son  of  the  former  owner  of  Henry  Clay.  The 
other  exhibits,  down  to  G  explain  themselves.  The  certifi- 
cate of  Mr.  Pierpont  has  no  reference  to  the  Clark  Phillips 
Mare,  but  forestalls  any  surmise  upon  the  part  of  any  one  that 
Gilbert  might  possibly  have  purchased  this  mare  of  Capt 
Joshua  Phillips,  who,  with  Uncle  Joshua,  that  owned  the 
Clark  Phillips  Mare,  comprise  the  only  parties  by  that  given 
name  who  have  lived  in  this  region  during  the  last  fifty  years 
if  ever.

BLOOD  WILL  TELL— HENBY  CLAY. 

ThiB  noted  trottiog  stallion,  formerly  owned  by  William 
W.  Wadsworth,  of  Geneseo,  will  stand  for  mares  the  comiog 
season,  commencing  on  Monday,  May  1,  and  ending  July  12, 
at  the  following  places,  viz  :  On  Mondays,  Tuesdays  and 
Wednesdays  at  G.  C.  Taylor's,  Geneseo  ;  during  the  remain- 
der of  the  week  at  the  subscriber's  premises  in  Livonia,  near 
Hamilton's  tavern  on  the  dividing  line  of  towns  between 
Lima  and  Livonia,  and  so  continue  through  the  season. 

Terms:  $20  to  insure  a  foal. 

Mares  not  to  be  returned  to  the  horse  but  once  in  two 
weeks. 

It  is  not  necessary  to  give  the  pedigree  and  the  perform- 
ance of  Henry  Clay  on  the  turf  at  full  luagth,  but  will  simply 
Btatethe  fact  that  he  was  sired  by  Andrew  Jackson,  the   fast- 


est trotter  of  his  time,  he  by  Young  Bashaw,  who  was  got  by 
Grand  Bashaw,  a  thoroughbred  imported  stallion. 

The  dam  of  Heory  Clay  was  the  noted  trotting  mare  Lady 
Surry,  who  could  beat  any  mare  of  her  day. 

The  stock  of  Henry  Clay  bears  ample  testimony  of  his  * 
ability  to  make  invaluable  improvements  in  our  breed  of 
horses,  and  is  also  a  sure  guarantee  that  he  will  maintain  his 
present  elevated  stand  in  the  public  estimation,  for  he  has 
more  fast  colts  than  any  stallion  now  living.  There  is  yet 
left  the  beautiful  stallion  Cassius  M.  Clay,  whose  blood  it  is 
asserted  cannot  be  excelled  by  any  horse  now  known,  except 
his  noble  sire  Henry  Clay. 

In  relation  to  Cassius  M.  Clay  we  quote  the  following  from 
the  Spirit  of  the  Times : 

CASSTUS  M.  CLAY— BLOOD  WILL  TELL. 

The  magnificent  trotting  stallion  who  carried  ofl  the  grand 
prize  at  the  recent  national  exhioition  of  horses  at  Spring- 
field. Mass.,  comes  from  capital  stock.  In  size,  action  and 
beauty,  Cassius  M.  Clay  has  few  rivals.  When  but  two  years 
old  we  saw  himled  a  mile  when  be  trotted  inside  of  three 
minutes.  We  purchased  his  sire  on  the  spot  at  a  very  high 
price  for  Col.  W.  W.  Wadsworth,  Gene3eo,  Livingston  Co., 

Cassius  was  got  by  Henry  Clay,  he  by  Andrew  Jackson,  by 
Young  Bashaw,  by  Grand  Bashaw,  out  of  a  Messenger  mare, 
well  known  for  her  game  and  speed.  His  get  resembles  him 
closely.  Two  of  them  also  took  prizes  at  Springfield.  Ameri- 
can Eagle,  one  of  them,  sold  for  $1450. 

The  celebrated  trotting  stallion  Black  Hawk  (Long  Island) 
was  sired  by  Henry  Clay.  For  performances  on  the  turf  of 
all  the  above-named  trotting  horses  you  are  referred  to  the

EXHIBIT   G. 

I  herebv  certify  that  I  have  lived  on  my  present  farm, 
located  just  west  of  the  Bristol  town  line,  since  1852,  and 
during  that  period  have  known  every  prominent  man  residing 
in  the  town  of  Bristol.  During  all  these  years  but  one  man 
by  the  name  of  Joshua  Phillips  has  lived  in  that  town.  He 
was  commonly  called  Uncle  Joshua  Phillips,  and  was  a  horse- 
man of  some  prominence,  and  was  guardian  of  the  late  E-  V. 
Phillips,  who  succeeded  him  in  the  possession  of  the  old 
homestead.  The  other  person  by  that  name  was  usually 
known  as  Capt.  Joshua  Phillips,  was  my  father-in-law  and 
lived  on  our  place.  My  personal  knowledge  of  all  his  affairs 
dated  back  more  than  fifty  years.  He  was  in  no  sense  a 
horseman,  and  never  bred  or  owned  a  daughter  of  Wads- 
worth's  Henry  Clav. 

Dated  Allen's  Hill  P.  O.,  Town  of  Richmond,  Ontario  Co., 
N.  Y.,  May  7,  1894.  David  A.  Pie'bpont. 

A  mere  statement  of  the  fact  that  George  Wilkes  was  foaled 
in  1856  makes  the  bearing  of  all  the  foregoing  testimony 
clearly  apparent.  If  Clark  Phillips  bred  Telegraph  to  Henry 
Clay  in  the  fall  of  1854,  and  she  produced  a  filly  in  the  fall 
of  1855,  she  would  have  been  say  six  months  old  when 
George  Wilkes  was  foaled. 

Your  readers  will  recall  the  letter  of  Edson  Phillips,  pub- 
lished in  tbe  Breeder  some  eighteen  months  ago,  wherein  he 
states  that  he  was  born  in  lS5t3,  and  rode  the  Clark  Phillips 
mare  when  she  was  four  years  old.  and  that  she  was  not  sold 
until  some  time  in  the  sixties.  John  P.  Ray.

Buy  Now! 


It  was  Jay  Gould,  the  greatest  financier  and  money  maker 
of  the  present  century,  who  said  :  "  The  proper  time  to  buy 
is  when  everybody  wants  to  sell,  and  the  proper  time  to  sell 
is  when  everybody  wants  to  buy."  He  followed  this  rule  in 
all  his  business  ventures,  and  the  success  that  surrounded 
him  is  known  to  everybody.  We  have  from  time  to  time 
called  attention  to  the  fact  that  every  dollar  invested  in  trot- 
ters at  present  prices  can  not  fail  to  yield  bountiful  returns. 
Tbe  crises  or  bottom  has  been  reached,  and  all  indications 
point  to  good  times  for  trottiog  horse  breeders  in  the  very  near 
future.  Already  many  sales  have  been  made  at  very  nearly 
old-time  prices,  and  a  healthy  demand  for  desirable  animals, 
both  for  the  turf  and  breeding  ranks,  is  becoming  visible. 
The  trotter  will  always  be  popular,  and  the  conditions  that 
force  breeders  to  sell  at  a  lower  price  than  cost  of  production 
are  abnormal  and  can  not  long  exist.  The  shrewd  investor 
realizes  this,  and  will  surely  profit  by  the  wisdom  displayed 
in  buying  when  prices  are  unreasonably  low.  If  you  ever  ex- 
pect to  become  identified  as  a  breeder  of  trotters,  now  is  the 
timeto  take  the  first  steps  in  that  direction.  The  door  to 
low  prices  is  yet  partially  open,  but  is  sure  to  close  in  a  very 
short  period.  "  Buy  when  the  other  fellow  wants  to  sell." —

SPECIAL,    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH    CAIRN    SIMPSON. 

-  Alix,  Pixley  et  al. — And  now,  as  1  expected,  the  Re- 
view has  published  the  remainder  of  the  testimony  and  the 
argument--*  in  the  case,  "  805 — Application  of  Budd  Doble 
for  an  investigation  into  the  conduct  of  the  Columbian  Ex- 
position Stake — $15,000 — trotted  at  Washington  Park,  Chi- 
cago, III.,  September  14th,  15th  and  [16th,  1893."  And  also 
in  accordance  with  my  anticipations  giving  it  full  and  com- 
plete to  the  extent  of,  perhaps,  tiresomeness,  inasmuch  as 
there  are  repetitions  on  the  top  of  repetitions  of  the  same 
story.  Still  when  it  was  determined  to  place  before  the  read- 
ers of  the  Review  the  testimony  for  them  to  form  a  judgment 
upon,  had  anything  been  omit'ed  the  charge  could  have  been 
made  that  it  was  not  a  fair  representation. 

There  has  been  one  trial  on  a  horse  question  in  this  coun- 
try which  occupied  more  time  than  805.  In  England  the 
Bloonisbury  and  Running  Rim  contests  were  carried  from 
students  of  the  J.  C.  to  the  courts  and  highest  legal  talent  in 
i  i  real  Britain  fought  for  plaintiffs  and  defendants,  but  it  is 
safe  to  assert  that  neither  in  the  Old  or  the  New  World  were 
horses  cases  reported  so  fully. 

As  I  stated  in  the  paper  of  last  Saturday  the  Review  has 
done  a  good  deed  for  the  true  interests  of  those  who  are  en- 
gaged in  breeding  light  harness  horses,  in  thus  bringing  so 
prominently  before  the  public  the  weak  spots  in  the  manage- 
ment of  trotting  races.  It  has  done  a  great  deal  for  "  turf 
papers"  by  proving  that  when  criticisms  are  sanctioned  by 
fac'.s,  however  mighty  the  power  which  takes  exceptions  to 
what  has  been  printed.,  there  is  a  higher  tribunal  which  will 
endorse  the  journal  which  has  the  backbone  to  proclaim  that 
a  wrong  has  been  done,  and  will  spare  neither  expense  nor 
labor  to  sustain  its  integrity.  For  this  potent  assistance  in 
preserving  the  freedom  oi  the  horse  press  I  am  fearful  that 
many  of  those  which  should  join  in  the  plaudits  will  keep 
silent,  a  few,  perhaps,  take  the  other  side,  and  extol  the  ver- 
dict, if  verdict  it  can  be  called,  which  followed  the  inves- 
tigation. 

Had  this  case — though  it  is  something  of  an  auomaly  to 
call  it  by  that  name — been  conducted  in  accordance  with  pre- 
cedents, only  a  portion  of  tbe  evidence  published,  merely  the 
finding  of  the  court  printed,  which  most  of  the  horse  papers 
have  thought  sufficient,  only  those  who  were  present  could 
have  known  what  was  offered.  Not  then  as  fully  informed  as 
the  readers  of  the  Review  inasmuch  as  the  evidence  can  be 
compared  at  leisure,  conflicting  testimony  compared,  without 
any  dependence  upon  memory,  in  clear  type  just  as  enunci- 
ated by  the  witnesses,  the  questions  reported  as  fully  as  the 
answer. 

With  that  anyone  who  has  a  practical  knowledge  of  trot- 
ting races,  and  fairly  posted  in  the  rules,  can  form  an  opinion 
which  should  not  be  verv  far  from  correct,  although,  of  course, 
there  cannot  be  unanimity.  Still  I  think  that  if  the  Board 
in  place  of  what  may  be  termed  an  apology  for  the  con- 
clusion reached,  had  taken  a  bolder  stand  and  pronounced  that 
charges  first  and  second  had  not  been  sustained  by  sufficient 
evidence  to  convict,  a  very  large  majority  of  readers  of  the 
testimony  would  coincide,  however  strong  the  impression 
that  bribery  had  been  attempted,  and  that  there  may  have 
been  a  combination.  But  in  an  investigation  such  as  that 
under  consideration  why  couiine  the  decision  to  these  two 
charges?  The  reason  given  for  the  trial,  as  it  has  been 
termed,  was  to  "  ventilate"  the  big  race,  and  the  Board  act- 
ing as  a  Grand  Jury  could  bring  in  a  report  covering  all  of 
the  features  of  the  contest.  The  claim  that  any  of  the  is- 
sues was  "not  properly  before  the  Board,"  that  being  the 
language  used  in  the  verdict,  is  not  valid  or  even  reasonable. 
The  conduct  of  all  connected  with  the  race  was  properly  a 
matter  to  be  considered,  and  if  the  judges  erred  it  would  be 
belter  so  to  state  than  to  be  under  the  implication  of  having 
done  wrong  in  taking  away  the  heat  from  Pixley.  It  is  be- 
yond question  that  they  did  err.  If  she  lost  the  heat  by  a 
foul  the  bets  should  hot  have  been  declared  off.  If  the  foul 
was  perpetrated  she  should  have  been  sent  to  the  stable.  That 
Dicl ■■■  -rsiin  did  foul  Curry  must  be  admitted  by  those  who 
read  the  testimony  apart  from  the  decision  of  the  judges. 
That  it  was  done  intentionally,  so  far  a.*  taking  the  hazard 
of  interfering  with  Alix,  to  obtain  an  advantage,  ia  so  clear 
that  argument  on  that  point  would  be  supererogatory.  A 
report  frnui  the  Board  on  that  point  in  which  even  if  "It 
has  uniformly  been  held  by  this  Board  under  the  rules,  the 
judge*  of  the  race  are  the  judges  of  all  matters  of  fact  con- 
nected therewith  "  the  law  could  have  been  explained  with- 
out impropriety,  and  greatly  to  the  benefit  of  the  members 
of  the  American  Trotting  Association. 

But  whateverstrictures  or  reflections  maybe  cast  on  the 
Board  in  connection  with  this  case,  "  805,  "  the  most  repre- 
hensible feature  by  the  longest  kind  of  odds,  was  in  not 
awarding  a  fair  field  to  the  Review.  I  called  it  an  uphill 
fight  in  the  last  article.  The  continuation  of  the  story  does  not 
change  mv  belief;  if  anything,  shows  that  the  grade  was  quite 
Kleep  at  that.  It  was  a  queer  procedure  from  the  start,  that 
is  from  the  filing  the  papers  in  the  case.  The  charges  made 
in  (he  Review  did  not  implicate  Budd  Doble,  or  even  imply 
any  wrong  on  his  part,  if  my  recollections  are  correct.  There 
need  not  have  been  any  apprehension  that  he  was  implicated, 
its  Mr.  Doble  is  too  well  known,  too  much  respected  in  all 
part*  of  the  country,  to  be  associated  with  any  wrone-doing 
hiicIi  as  was  claimed  to  have  characterized  the  Columbian 
Exposition  Stake.  Were  it  necessary  I  could  add  my  testi- 
mony that  an  acouaintance,  dating  from  the  time  when  he 
was  just  out  of  hfs  teens,  with  quite  an  intimate  knowledge 
for  a  good  part  of  the  time,  would  justify  still  higher  criti- 
dmu  than  have  been  expressed,  and  it  was  out  of  the  ques- 
tion thatit  was  necessary  to  call  for  an  investigation  to  sus- 
tain his  reputation.  Still  OQQ  cannot  be  called  over-seDsitive 
in  regarding  a  character  which  has  been  formed  by  good  con- 
duct fora  third  of  a  century,  hut  in  his  application  there  was 
every  safeguard.  It  does  appear,  nevertheless,  that  it 
was  not  sufficient  to  exonerate  Mr.  Doble,  but  that  The  Re- 
view should  be  punished  for  performing  a  duty  which  could 
not  be  avoided  :ind  retiiin  its  good  name.  The  testimony 
has  established,  hevond  all  cavil,  that  it  was  not  Only  just  [fled 
but  should  meol  with  unqualified  praise  for  its  course  in  the 
firs!  place,  and  sli'l  more  woi  thy  of  commendation  for  the 
pines  it  has  shown  in  defr-nsc,  and  that  under  discourage- 
ments which  would  have  appalled    many  of   the  reasonably 


stout  hearts.  It  may  be  said  that  I  am  ou  good  terms  with 
the  Review  and  champion  its  cause  on  that  ground.  That  is 
true  and,  with  two  exceptions,  can  say  the  same  of  all  the 
other  "  horse  papers  "  of  the  country.  When  anyone  is  clearly 
right,  or  in  my  opinion  is  fighting  a  just  battle  they  can  de- 
pend on  my  aid  ;  when  a  friend  has  been  ill-treated  or  the 
cause  that  I  am  the  most  intimately  connected  with  in  jeopardy 
the  onlv  regret  is  that  I  cannot  do  more  effective  service,  be 
the  battle  ever  so  obstinate. 

Tbe  members  of  the  Board  I  am  acquainted  with  are  highly 
respected.  When  I  first  met  Gov.  Coleman  our  hair  was 
brown,  and  as  that  was  thirty-five  years  ago  there  are  other 
good  reasons  besides  those  which  are  sometimes  offered  for  a 
change  of  color.  Among  other  qualities  which  have  won  my 
admiration  was  uprightness,  and  when  once  enlisted  a  power- 
ful fighter  for  right.  I  cherish  the  most  friendly  feelings  for 
Mr.  Steiner,  and  in  taking  exceptions  to  the  course  pursued 
am  far  from  accusing  them  of  unworthy  motives.  Prejudice, 
when  once  firmly  established,  is  hard  to  overcome.  We  are 
all  loth  to  acknowledge  the  influence  of  a  passion  which  holds 
universal  sway,  that  it  exerts  a  force,  strive  as  one  will  to 
overcome  it,  is  well  known.  I  cannot  account  for  the  hostil- 
ity displayed  on  any  other  hypothesis  than  prejudice  which 
warped  the  judgment  of  men  who  are  not  prone  to  be  led 
astray,  and  it  may  be  that  there  was  a  general  leaning  in  the 
East  to  take  sides  against  the  paper  which  had  tbe  audacity 
to  criticise. 

The  report  of  all  the  proceedings  show  that  there  was  a 
determination  to  throw  everything  in  the  way  of  securing  a 
fair  trial.  The  promise  from  four  members  of  the  Board  to 
Judge  Oliver  that  it  would  not  be  taken  up,  and  after  his 
return  to  Cincinnati  a  summons  from  the  secretary,  received 
on  Tuesday  at  3  p.  m.,  that  the  case  was  to  come  off  the  next 
day,  was  indicative  of  the  course  which  followed.  The  firm- 
ness of  Judge  Oliver  in  refusing  to  examine  witnesses  at  that 
time  was  all  that  prevented  a  trial  with  one  side  practically 
unrepresented.  However  exasperating  to  the  members  of  the 
Board  the  postponement  of  cases,  entailing  long  journeys  and 
loss  of  time  without  remuneration — when  the  application  of 
Mr.  Doble  was  followed  by  putting  it  on  the  docket  every- 
thing necessary  to  ensure — just  investigation  was  an  obliga- 
tion which  could  not  avail.  The  course  of  the  Board  seemed 
to  be  dictated  by  a  desire  to  hold  all  parties  guileless,  and  the 
charges  made  in  the  Review  no  foundation.  It  can  scarcely 
be  possible  that  the  voluminous  report  of  the  proceedings  is 
so  misleading  as  to  indicate  what  did  not  occur,  but  after 
carefully  re-reading  the  whole  of  it  that  is  the  only  conclusion 
I  can  reach.  The  examinations  of  the  witnesses,  by  tbe  attor- 
ney who  appeared  for  the  Board,  and  the  cross-examinations, 
were  to  elicit  favorable  information  on  that  side  of  the  ques- 
tion. When  at  times  Gov.  Coleman  interpolated  questions, 
they  had  the  same  bearing.  Thus,  when  one  of  the  judges 
was  on  the  stand,  he  endeavored  to  overcome  the  testimony 
of  Mr.  Van  Sants'  that  Pixley  had  changed  her  position  in 
the  homestretch  to  the  detriment  of  Alix  in  the  sixth  and 
seventh  heats.  Mr.  Elliot  corroborated  Mr.  Van  Sant  on 
these  points,  the  judge  did  not  agree  with  them  in  answer  to 
Gov.  Coleman's  queries. 

He,  the  judge,  admitted  that  a  foul  was  claimed  by  Curry 
alleging  that  Pixley  had  done  wrong  on  the  backstretch. 
There  was  evidence  apart  from  the  replies  of  witnesses  that 
strengthened  the  testimony  of  Van  Sant  and  Elliott.  Pixley 
won  the  sixth  heat,  Alix  second.  Owing  to  the  opening  be- 
tween Pixley  and  the  inside  fence  Nightingale  slipped 
through,  winning  the  heat  while  Dickerson  was  engaged  with 
Alix. 

The  driving  of  Dickerson  in  the  fifth  and  seventh  heats 
was  radically  different.  A  "  close  drive  "  to  the  inside  when 
Alix  was  between  him  and  the  pole,  an  open  drive  to  the 
outside  when  she  was  to  the  right.  Had  such  testimony 
been  offered  in  the  years  of  my  first  acquaintance  with  Colonel 
Colman,  no  one  would  have  been  quicker  to  detect  the  incon- 
sistencies between  Dickerson's  words  and  bis  actions. 

"  If  they  will  let  me  have  eight  inches  that  is  all  that  I 
want,"  was  a  portion  of  his  testimony.  "  Actions  are  stronger 
than  words,"  and  he  wanted  so  much  more  in  the  seventh 
heat  that  feet  in  place  of  inches  was  his  prayer.  Judging 
from  the^evidence  on  both  sides,  and  I  am  inclined  to  the  be- 
lief that  ynder  a  strict  construction  of  the  rules  Pixley  should 
have  been  punished  for  carrying  Alix  out  on  the  seven  heat, 
the  clearest  proof  being  that  Nightingale  had  space  enough 
to  come  through  without  detriment,  and  his  plea  for  close 
driving  the  rope  to  hang  him.  As  Dickerson  came  on  to  the 
witness  stand  subsequent  to  Messrs.  Van  Sant  and  Elliott,  it 
struck  me  that  it  was  a  singular  oversight  that  he  was  not  re- 
quired to  explain  how  he  was  far  enough  away  from  the  in- 
side to  let  another  horse  pass  when  he  had  the  lead. 

There  was  one  question  on  that  point  which  the  attorney 
for  the  Board  asked  him,  the  question  and  answer  being  so 
peculiar  that  both  are  copied  : 

"Question:  You  have  heard  the  testimony  here  to-day 
that  in  the  sixth  heat,I  think  it  was,  the  sixth  or  the  seventh, 
Pixley  swung  across  the  track  and  carried  Alix  out,or  crossed 
in  front  of  Alix  and  interrupted  her  speed  on  the  home- 
stretch. Tell  about  that?  Answer:  Well,  sir,  I  know  the 
rules  about  such  an  oflense  as  that,  and  nothing  of  the  kind 
happened." 

The  testimony  of  Van  Sant  and  Elliott  was  that  Pixley 
"  changed  her  position  "  on  the  homestretch,  so  that  the  ques- 
tion gave  a  chance  for  denial  without,  denying  the  charge 
made.  There  is  another  mystification,  as  the  direct  examina- 
tion of  Dickerson  is  all  that  is  published.  If  cross-examined, 
that  must  have  been  left  out  through  some  blunder,  and  it 
would  be  a  singular  oversight  to  omita  searching  inquiry  in- 
to a  matter  of  so  much  prominence.  Colonel  Colman  would 
surely  have  seen  the  importance  of  questioning  the  offender, 
as  he  was  thoroughly  posted,  a  capital  driver  himself,  had 
driven  his  own  horses  in  public,  and  knew  the  dodges  of  the 
professionals  as  well  as  if  he  were  in  the  ranks.  Gov.  Colman 
cannot  be  as  familiar  with  track  practices  as  Col.  Colman  was 
thirty  years  ago,  and  as  it  is  not  likely  that  the  other  mem- 
bers of  the  Board,  or  the  attorneys  in  the  case,  had  the  same 
opportunities  us  the  owner  of  (jueen  of  the  West,  Tom  Best 
and  a  number  of  other  celebrities  of  the  track,  the  big 
mistake  was  made.  Still  1  shall  not  accept  that  as  being  cor- 
rect until  the  next  isnue  of  the  Review  is  received,  though 
inasmuch  as  Judge  Oliver  in  his  closing  remarks  failed  to 
make  the  very  strongest  point  in  reviewing  Dickerson's  testi- 
mony, in  all  probability  that  was  overlooked. 

In  giving  ho  much  space  to  the  consideration  of  the  Alix- 
Pixley  case,  I  feel  that  it  is  one  which  has  a  decided  bearing 
on  the  future  of  trotting  sports,  on  the  future  of  "turf  papers." 
When  those  who  read  the  report  discover  that  not  a  word  of 
censure  iH  passed  by  the  Board,  not  a  word  of  reproof  for 
such  grocs  infractions  of  law  as  occurred    in  that  contest,  tbe 


most  remarkable  in  all  trotting  history,  those  who  practice 
similar  tactics  will  feel  an  elation  of  spirit  over  the  endorse- 
ment; those  who  regard  the  snpport  of  fair-minded  people  as 
the  mainstay  of  the  institution  will  be  measurably  disheart- 
ened. 

From  my  connection  with  the  horse  papers  for  so  many 
years  it  may  be  that  I  am  over  tenacious  in  insisting  that  any 
attempt  to  "muzzle"  shall  be  met  with  the  firmest  determina- 
tion notto  be  subdued,  and  hence  feel  that  the  unfairness  to 
the  Review  is  an  attack  on  every  class  journal  in  the  country 
which  has  the  independence  to  criticise  wrong-doing  on  the 
tracks  or  by  associations  connected  with  horse  affairs 

I  question  whether  there  is  another  paper  which  would 
have  gone  to  the  expense  incurred  by  this  suit.  A  majority 
of  journals  devoted  to  horse  interests  could  not  aflord  it.  There 
are  few  having  means  to  carry  on  the  battle  would  dispose  of 
them  in  that  way.  Depending  on  justification  for  the  charges 
brought  on  the  testimony  which  the  race  presented,  had  I 
been  in  the  ■'  same  boat"  as  the  Review,  in  reply  to  Mr.  Do- 
hle's  application,  and  a  notice  from  the  A.  T.  A.,  should 
have  answered:  "If  Mr.  Doble  or  other  parties  desire  an  op- 
portunity to  prove  that  they  are  innocent  let  them  show  it. 
I  stand  ^on  what  cannot  be  contraverted,  and  hence  will  not 
spend  time  and  money  to  prove  what  is  universally  acknowl- 
edged." 

I  judge  from  the  following  two  lines  on  the  editorial  page 
of  the  Review  that  expulsion  had  been  threatened  : 

"  The  Review  is  duly  thankful  that  it  is  not  expelled,  but  is 
still  permitted  to  remain  on  earth."

Hardly  Consistent. — Not  very  long  ago  "Iconclast" 
claimed  that  a  large  number  of  thoroughbred  mares  were 
bred  to  trotting  stallions,  and  now  in  the  last  number  of  the 
Kentucky  Stock  Tarm  he  states  :  "  The  catalogues  of  the 
trotting-horse  breeders  of  the  country  show  how  very  small 
the  proportion  of  them  breed  outside  the  great  established 
lines." 

That  has  been  my  contention,  but  when  made  the  basis  of 
an  argument,  that  for  the  number  bred  thoroughbred  mares 
had  done  remarkably  well,  it  was  disputed.  "Iconclast"  also 
states:  "  I  differ  from  Mr.  Simpson  in  his  opinion  that  Palo 
Alto  was  the  greatest  son  of  Electioneer.  For  myself  I 
would  rather  have  one  colt  by  Advertiser  or  Arion  than  many 
by  Palo  Alto."  "There  is  no  accounting  for  tastes,"  and  a  per- 
son has  the  undoubted  right  to  select  what  will  the  best  suit 
his  palate.  In  that  respect  he  is  the  best  judge,  although  his 
fancy  may  differ  from  ninety-nine  in  every  hundred  other 
persons. 
__  "  How  can  one  describe  the  qualities  of  a  peach  or  a  necta- 
rine to  those  who  have  only  known  apples?"  says  Du  Maurier 
in  "Miiby,"  and  though  a  person  who  had  long  acquaintance 
with  all  kinds  of  fruit  should  choose  the  homelier  variety, 
the  right  to  please  his  own  taste  cannot  be  disputed.  Until 
Advertiser  or  Arion  makes  the  same  showing  that  Palo  Alto 
has  already  made,  "judicious  breeders"  will  be  apt  to  pre- 
fer the  Palo  Altos.  Advertiser  will  have  two-year-olds  out 
this  season  and  I  have  great  confidence  that  they  will  be  no 
discredit  to  their  highly-bred  sire.  My  luck  with  Adver- 
tisers has  been  very  bad.  Last  year  a  foal  by  him  from  a 
marebyason  of  Nutwood  and  her  dam  thoroughbred  died 
when  five  days  old.  This  year  a  premature  birth  from  a 
thoroughbred  mare  completed  the  unfortunate  list,  and  the 
last  brought  greater  regret,  inasmuch  as  I  have  a  colt,  two 
years  old,  and  a  5lly,  one  year  old,  by  Whips  from  the  same 
mare,  and  the  chance  to  test  whether  the  "strictly  trotting 
bred  "  or  the  son  of  a  thoroughbred  mare — both  living  by  the 
same  sire,  Electioneer,  was  the  best  nick  for  a  thoroughbred 
mare  has  been  lost.  The  same  mare  has  been  bred  to  a  son 
of  Dexter  Prince,  and  as  he  is  a  brother  to  Chloe,  Prince- 
wood  and  Dexter  Thome,  and  a  well-shaped  horse  withal, 
shall  expect  something  good  in  the  progeny.  The  only  mare 
I  bred  to  Palo  Alto  did  not  get  in  foal,  and  "for  myself," 
would  have  been  better  pleased  to  have  one  Palo  Alto  than 
two  Advertiseis. 

In  the  same  number  of  the  Stock  Farm  "Iconoclast"  pub- 
lishes "  A  distinguished  breeder  of  thoroughbreds  said  some 
years  ago  something  to  the  effect  that  he  had  not  a  mare  in 
the  stud  from  whom  a  2:10  trotter  could  be  bred  in  a  great 
number  of  years.  It  think  it  was  one  hundred."  J  have  a 
distinct  recollection  of  that  as  it  was  in  a  comnunication  to 
Wallace's  Monthly  and  more  than  five  years  ago.  Not  quite 
positive  in  regard  to  the  author  but  think  it  was  Major 
Thomas,  a  townsman  of  "Iconoclast,"and  I  offertdsome  criti- 
cisms at  the  time  itappeared,  the  strongest  point  made  being 
that  the  only  2:10  trotters  at  the  date  of  Major  Thomas'  con- 
fident assertion  had  thoroughbred  grandams,  and  as  two 
generations  had  effected  so  much  the  number  of  chances  in  a 
century  would  be  greatly  increased.  An  absurd  statement, 
though  I  am  glad  to  note  that  "Iconoclast"  only  uses  it  to 
illustrate  that  there  is  more  likelihood  of  obtaining  a  fast 
trotter  from  a  thoroughbred  than  a  fast  pacer.

Queen  of  the  West. — Elsewhere  I  allude  to  Gov.  Col- 
man being  the  owner  of,  without  question,  the  fastest  of  the 
Pilot  Jr. 's.  So  fast,  that  in  this  day,  with  all  the  accessories 
to  a  high  rate  of  trotting  speed,  that  it  is  doubtful  if  it  has 
been  exceeded.  She  trotted  half  a  mile  to  a  skeleton  wag  hi 
in  1:03.  I  saw  her  when  others  timed  her  around  the  turn, 
also  to  a  skeleton,  in  31  seconds,  and  went  very  wide  at  that. 
Henry  Graves  purchased  her  of  Gov.  Colman,  and  was  very 
much  elated  over  the  purchase.  I  think  he  paid  $0,000,  and 
as  that  was  as  long  ago  as  1866,  it  was  a  big  price.  Mr.  Graves 
saw  Colonel  Colman  drive  her,  and  told  me  that  if  a  news- 
paper man  and  nursery  man  could  get  so  much  speed  out  of 
an  animal,  Jim  Rockey  could  drive  her  a  faster  mile  than 
had  ever  been  trotted.  I  differed  with  him  emphaticallv, 
having  seen  enough  of  the  editor's  si  ill  both  as  trainer  arid 
driver  to  convince  me  that  he  was  very  near  the  top  as  a 
reinsman.  I  trotted  a  little  stallion,  Tom  Hyer,  by  Vermont 
Black  Hawk,  two  races  in  St.  Louis,  November  12,  1863,  in 
which  was  one  of  Colonel  Colmau's  horses,  Tom  Best.  In  the 
first  race  Tom  Best,  driven  by  J.  C.  Kelley,  won  the  first  and 
second  heats  in  2:4.5,  2:45  ;  Tom  Hyer  the  rest  in  2:43.  2:43, 
2:48.  Betting  ran  very  high  in  these  Hush  times  in  St.  Louis, 
and  this  was  a  big  betting  race.  S.  S.  Grant,  one  of  the  big- 
gest plungers  on  record,  had  a  horse  in  called  Uncle  John, 
and  he  backed  him  from  first  to  last.  Col.  Colman  (I  call 
him  by  the  title  he  bore  in  1863)  lost  something  more  than  a 
thousand  dollars;  a  friend  and  myself  won  over  ten  thousand

with  comparatively  small  risk.  The  horse  was  protested,  and 
I  was  given  ten  days  to  prove  his  eligibility.  During  the 
interval  Mr.  Grant  proposed  that  I  should  trot  Tom  Hyer  to 
wagon  against  Uncle  John  and  Tom  Best  in  harness ;  that 
Charlie*  Ellard,  the  proprietor  of;  the  track,  The  Abbey, 
would  give  $250,  and  he  would  add  as  much  more,  making  a 
$500  purse.  The  answer  was  that  as  Tom  Best  had  won  the 
tirst  and  second  heats,  with  Uncle  John  right  on  my  wheel 
in  the  third  and  fourth,  "  equal  hitch,"  I  would  have  no 
chance  in  the  handicap.  Furthermore,  Tom  was  an  unsafe 
horse  to  drive  even  in  a  two-wheeler,  ready  to  kick  if  any- 
thing did  not  suit  him  ;  prone  to  wheel  like  a  quarter-horse 
trained  to  that  way  of  starting;  sure  to  break  the  wagon  and 
not  very  pleasant  for  the  driver.  Mr.  Grant  proffered  the 
loan  of  a  light  skeleton,  and,  if  broken,  would  hold  me  harm- 
less. I  had  been  awarded  princely  treatment  by  the  horse 
folk  of  St.  Louis,  and  during  a  stav  of  several  months  in  1859, 
became  much  attached  to  the  place  and  the  people  1  had 
met,  so  that  if  Tom  could  be  driven  in  that  sort  of  a  rig  agreed 
to  trot  him  in  the  race.  With  men  stationed  where  he  was 
turned  to  catch  the  hind  axle  and  throw  it  around  the  danger 
of  a  capsize  was  averted  and  by  being  careful  not  to  arouse 
his  temper  he  might  be  coaxed  to  behalf  himself.  There 
was  rain  and  the  short  hours  of  daylight  at  that  season  of 
the  vear,  and  more  clouds  than  sunshine,  the  track  was  very 
heavy,  and  it  did  not  appear  as  there  was  once  chance  in  a 
hundred  to  win.  Uncle  John  won  the  6rst  heat,  Tom  Best 
the  second,  I  won  the  remainder,  the  fourth  heat  the  fastest 
in  the  race.  When  I  met  Governor  Coleman  in  Chicago  a 
little  over  a  year  ago,  these  races  were  trotted  over  again.  It 
was  only  after  earnest  denials  that  I  could  convince  him  that 
the  first  and  second  heats  were  not  laid  up,  and  as  the  "  bulh 
of  our  money"  in  the  first  race  was  wagered  after  the  loss  of 
two  heats  it  was  strong  proof  of  design  to  "help  the  betting." 
But  Tom  was  the  most  peculiar  horse,  in  many  respects,  that 
I  ever  drove.  Were  he  forced  to  trot  at  the  outset,  or  rather 
of  an  attempt  being  made  to  force  him,  he  would  act  badly 
all  through  the  race.  Let  him  have  bis  own  way  until  he 
was  ready  of  his  own  volition  he  could  be  depended  upon  for 
the  rest  of  the  afternoon  to  do  his  "  level  best."  When  he 
closed  a  big  gap  in  the  second  heat  of  the  first  race,  1  was 
aware  that  the  time  had  come  when  he  could  be  depended 
upon,  and  instructed  my  associate  to  buy  every  pool  as  long 
as  the  rates  were  not  materially  disturbed.  The  second  race 
I  thought  was  a  "  foregone  conclusion,"  and  though  my  friend 
invested  a  small  part  of  his  winnings  even  after  Tom  had  a 
heat  did  not  change  my  opinion.  After  the  fourth  heat 
there  was  such  a  scramble  to  "hedge"  that  the  odds  were 
long  thej  other  way,  and  the  "  small  bettors"  had  a  field  day. 
I  must  admit,  however,  that  laying-up  heats  was  considered 
as  legitimate  in  those  days  as  any  other  feature  of  "manage- 
ment," and  I  shared  in  the  opinion.  There  is  a  clear  remem- 
brance of  justifying  the  practice  in  print  on  the  plea  that 
heats  were  not  onlv  a  test  of  the  speed  of  the  horses  but  a 
contest  of  the  ability  of  those  who  managed  ;  a  combination 
of  horse  and  man  to  secure  the  victory.  This  is  not  the  only 
point  I  have  changed  front  upon  since  IS63,  and  when  taunted 
with  the  discrepancy  answer  in  the  words  of  Melancthon 
that  "forty  years' experience  had  not  been  thrown  away."

''By  Request." — A  short  time  ago  a  friend  offered  me  a 
paper  in  which,  to  use  his  expression,  I  "  was  roasted,"  and 
when  it  was  refused,  with  the  explanation  for  not  reading, 
and  giving  him  the  reasons  for  the  animus  displayed,  he  ad- 
vised that  these  should  be  published  so  that  my  readers 
would  understand  the  situation. 

Soon  after  thecommencement  of  the  races  here  there  came 
from  tb^JEast  a  person  who  had  held  subordinate  positions  on 
the  turf  press  of  New  York  by  the  name  of  Higgins.  In  a 
communication  to  the  Spirit  of  the  Times  he  gave  unstinted 
praise  to  the  new  management,  reviled  the  old.  The  article 
was  signed  "Observer,"  and  without  having  the  least  knowl- 
edge of  who  the  author  was  took  "Observer"  to  task.  Hig- 
gins at  the  time  was  doing  some  work  for  the  racing  edition 
of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  and  he  wrote  a  reply  in 
which  he  made  a  personal  attack  upon  me.  Mr.  Kelley 
showed  it  to  me  before  publication  and  I  advised  its  appear- 
ance, and  in  the  same  issue  referred  to  it  in  a  few  paragraphs 
In  the  short  acquaintance  with  Higgins,  and  from  his  work, 
I  had  no  desire  for  further  intimacy.  The  morning  when  his 
attack  on  me  and  my  answer  came  out,  I  met  him  in  the 
editorial  rooms  of  the  B  feeder  and  Sportsman.  He  did 
not  raise  his  head  or  give  any  token  of  recognition.  At  the 
Bay  District  course  that  afternoon,  towards  the  end  of  the 
racing  (he  had  seen  me  some  time  before),  fortified  with  more 
cheek,  he  approached,  accosting  me  and  holding  out  his 
hand.  The  offer  was  repulsed.  Afterwards  he  complained 
to  Mr.  Kellev  of  the  gross  insult  I  had  given  him  and  that 
he  would  get  even  if  it  took  him  forty  years.  He  did  not 
show  much  resentment  at  the  time  when  the  insult  was 
offered,  and  he  can  go  on  getting  even  for  the  forty  vears  with- 
out disturbing  my  feelings  in  the  least. 

His  employes  are  welcome  to  his  services,  and  if  they 
can  afford  to  be  made  the  vehicle  for  Higgins  to  display  his 
malice  it  is  little  concern  of  mine.  ^ 

I  have  not  read  any  of  the  diatribes,  and  decline  to  hear 
them  repeated. 

In  fact  I  have  only  read  one  number  of  the  California 
Turf,  and  an  explanation  of  that  may  be  in  place.  Before  it 
was  started  Mr.  f  revatban  asked  my  advice  in  regard  to  the 
venture,  and  that  was  strenuously  opposed  to  the  idea  from 
a  pecuniary  standpoint.  Of  the  many  turf  papers  in  the 
United  States  very  few  of  their  managers  have  failed  to  send 
me  the  initial  number ;  several  have  continued  to  send 
regularly.  Not  receiving  a  number  of  the  California  Turf 
some  weeks  after  I  heard  of  its  appearance  I  spoke  to  Mr. 
Trevathan,  who  was  then  engaged  upon  it,  and  he  said  it  was 
an  oversight  on  the  part  of  the  mailing  clerk. 

One  number  came,  but  not  from  the  ollice,  as  there  was  a 
postage  stamp  on  the  enve!ope,and  from  that  time  I  have  not 
read  a  single  issue. 

Had  the  attack  been  made  in  a  paper  which  I  do  read,  and 
the  source  known,  that  portion  of  it  would  not  have  been 
noticed. 

Jos.  Cairn  Simpson. 

Hamilton  incurred  the  displeasure  of  Mr.  Rowe  by  his 
actions  on  Strephon  in  the  second  race  May  29th,  and  was 
in  consequence  set  down  for  a  week  Blake,  who  was  on 
George  Beck  in  the  same  race,  also  came  under  the  ban,  being 
fined  $50.  ^ 

Peel's  progeny  are  doing  so  well  that  every  day  his  death 
is  more  regretted.  Flirtilia  was  the  last  of  the  Peels  to  win, 
and  that  was  last  Saturday. 


PLEASANTON    PICKINGS. 


Some    of    the   Trotters   and    Pacers    That  "Will 

Remain  in  California  This  Year  and 

Are  Being  Worked  at  the 

Pleasanton  Track. 


While  tbe  candidates  for  Eastern  honors  have  their  work- 
out days  on  the  track  at  Pleasanton,  there  are  many  other 
very  promising  candidates  for  California  honors  that  also  en- 
joy the  privilege  of  speeding  up  and  down  the  stretches  and 
around  the  track  on  which  so  many  famous  kings  and  queens 
of  the  trotting  turf  have  learned  their  first  lespons  in  the  way 
to  go.  From  early  morn  till  late  at  night  trainers  and  drivers 
can  be  seen  behind  their  horses, watching  every  step  and  care- 
fully noting  the  progress  made  by  the  equines  that  they  con- 
sider worthy  of  earning  money  with  this  fall.  Monroe  Salis- 
bury, we  must  admit,  spares  neither  trouble  nor  expense  to 
have  the  horses  which  he  selects  fitted  for  the  arduous  cam- 
paign on  the  Eastern  tracks  where  climate,  feed  and  sui- 
roundings  are  so  different  from  what  they  are  in  this 
mountain-encircled  valley,  nevertheless,  there  are  other  own- 
ers who  might  also  be  called  enthusiasts,  whoalso^take  pride 
in  the  development  of  their  trotters  and  pacers  here.  Long 
before  the  days  when  the  great  "  rodeos"  as  the  Mexicans 
called  them,  first  took  place  in  this  part  of  the  Livermore 
Valley,  thejfinest  class  of  stock,  horses  and  cattle,  to  be  found 
in  California  were  known  to  roam  and  feed  here.  The  hills, 
ravines  and  deep  gulches  were  the  homes  of  all  kinds  of 
game,  from  the  mammoth  grizzly  which  feasted  upon  the 
young  stock,  to  the  agile  deer  that  bounded  from  crag  to  crag 
and  laved  its  thirst  in  the  numerous  springs  that  were  the 
fountain   heads  of  the  streams    flowing  into  the  Alameda. 

But  we  are  digressing.  In  the  rows  of  stalls  which  form  three 
sides  of  the  open  square  adjoining  the  Pleasanton  track  are  to 
be  found  young  horses  that,  like  Mr.  Salisbury's,  will  all  be 
famons  before  the  snow  caps  the  truncated  top  of  Mount 
Diablo.  Some  of  these  horses  have  come  long  distances  to 
enjoy  the  benefits  of  a  good  track  and  a  "horsey"  atmosphere. 

F.  W.  Bunnell,  of  Colfax,  Washington,  has  a  string  of  trot- 
ters and  pacers;  all  of  them  are  by  the  Volunteer  stallion. 
Ingraham,  a  very  stylish,  high-headed,  well-formed  bay  horse 
with  two  hind  ankles.  He  was  purchased  from  Alden  Gold- 
smith and  brought  to  Washington  and  has  been  standing  there 
for  some  years,  having  very  limited  opportunities  in  the  stud. 
The  representativss  of  his  family  here  are  a  credit  to  him 
and  Mr.  Bunnell  need  have  no  fears  of  the  prepotency  of  this 
horse  as  a  sire  of  speed.  Those  at  Pleasanton  receiving  pre- 
paratory work  for  the  circuit,  are : 

Ovolo,  a  good-looking  pacer,  out  of  a  mare  called  Fly,  a 
brown  horse  no  white;  Ebonwood,  six  years  old,  seal  brown 
in  color,  a  trotter  and  a  fast  one,  too;  Tacoma,  a  six-year-old 
trotter,  very  promising ;  Ben  Ingraham,  out  of  a  mare  by 
Milliman's  Bellfounder,  second  dam  by  Oregon  George.  Mr. 
Bunnell  has  several  others  that  are  receiving  their  first  les- 
sons on  the  race  track  and  among  themare  some  crackerjacks. 
They  are  all  of  fine  style  and  color,  and  every  one  is  evenly 
proportioned'standing  on  splendid  limbs  and  feet.  If  Ingra- 
ham had  the  opportunities  some  of  our  California  sires  have 
had  he  would  have  a  big  showing  in  the  2:20  list. 

E.  M.  Sanders,  brother  to  Millard,  has  a  small  string  of 
horses  here,  but  what  they  lack  in  numbers  they  more  than 
make  up  for  in  quality.  Take  Little  Albert,  2:10,  for  in- 
stance; he  is  a  jewel  fit  to  grace  the  finest  equine  diadem  in 
the  world.  When  he  returned  from  his  victorious  campaign 
last  winter  he  was  taken  to  this  city  and  driven  on  the  roads 
by  his  proud  owner,  for  be  it  known  that  not  only  is  he  the 
gamest  trotting  gelding  that  ever  pulled  a  sulky,  but  he  is  also 
the  most  pleasant  road  horse  ever  jogged  on  a  thoroughfare. 
After  a  couple  of  months  of  this  trying  work,  Mr.  Sanders 
made  arrangements  with  Mr.  Bradbury,  the  owner  of  Little 
Albert,  and  secured  his  racing  qualities  for  the  year.  To-day 
the  little  chestnut  is  looking  and  acting  as  well  as  he  ever 
did  in  his  life,  and  would  be  a  dangerous  horse  for  any  trotter 
or  pacer  in  this  State  to  tackle. 

Little  Hope,  2:21k  by  Tempest  Jr.,  is  taking  his  daily 
exercise  as  a  side  wheel  candidate  for  a  faster  record. 

Alert,  2:24,  by  Ensign,  out  of  Outlaw,  by  Martin's  Eclipse, 
is  a  big  bay  gelding  that  is  pretty  well  along  in  years,  but  he 
carries  his  age  and  speed  admirably.  Alert  was  foaled  in 
1879  and  on  September  22,  1886,  at  South  Bend,  Indiana,  he 
got  his  present  mark.  He  is  in  splendid  fix  and  will  lower 
his  record  this  year. 

There  is  a  three-year-old  pacing  filly  here  that  suits  us. 
She  is  by  Guide,  2:16},  out  of  San  Luis  Belle.  She  is  called 
Ruth  C. 

In  the  adjoining  stall  is  another  three-year-old,  but  she  is 
a  trotter  and  her  sire  is  Director.  Mr.  Sanders  has  all  of 
these  looking  and  acting  well,  and  in  the  races  this  year  we 
shall  see  him  piloting  many  of  these  as  victors  in  large  fields 
of  horses. 

G.  A.lviso  drives  in  on  the  track  daily  with  Rosita  A., 
2:15},  by  Adrian,  and  the  way  she  moves  is  enough  to  make 
him  forget  that  the  lily-white  cigarette  which  he  invariably 
smokes  will  go  out  if  he  does  not  keep  this  mare  well  within 
her  mark. 

Wm.  Murray,  the  youog  man  who  owns  and  pilots  the  great 
Diablo,  2:09,,  has  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers  here  that 
will  appear  in  the  races  when  the  bell  rings  in  August.  He 
has  a  sister  to  Flora  M.,  2:16,  the  handsome  daughter  of 
Richard's  Elector  ;  Biddy  M.,  a  large-sized  bav  mare  by 
Cresco,  that  can  pace  quarters  in  thirty-five  seconds  easilv  ; 
Sidwood,  2:16,  by  Sidnsy,  a  very  fast  pacer  ;  DellaS.,  2:21' 
by  Thistle,  2:13;,  dam  by  Hambletonian  725,  and  a  Director 
filly  that  is  gifted  with  speed.  These  are  well  cared  for  at 
Murray's  stables,  which  form  an  ell  to  the  square  in  which 
the  horses  owned  by  Mr.  Salisbury  are  kept.  Mr.  Murray 
has  commenced  to  give  Diablo  a  little  sharper  work,  and  as 
he  believes  in  never  allowing  a  campaigner  to  get  "  off"  by 
letting  up  entirely  in  his  work,  he  will  find  little  trouble  in 
having  the  handsome  dark  chestnut  sidewheeler  ready  to 
hold  his  own  with  any  trotter  or  pacer  in  this  State  this  year. 

About  four  hundred  yards  from  the  Pleasanton  track  is  a 
very  neat-looking,  two-story  barn  painted  yellow,  with  this 
lettering  over  the  wide  door  :  "The  Piedmont  Stud,  Myers 
&  Myers,  proprietors."  As  a  number  of  remarkably  well- 
bred,  handsome  and  promising  trotters  and  pacers  have  been 
seen  coming  from  this  barn  t»  the  track  to  surprise  the  habi- 


tues of  that  classic  ground,  a  cordial  invitation  by  the  pro- 
prietors to  "not  forget  to  step  in  and  see  what  we  have,"  was 
accepted,  and  Dan  Lawrence,  the  trainer  and  driver  of  this 
little  galaxy  of  time  annihilators,  very  courteously  told  us 
howeach  and  every  one  was  bred  as  they  were  led  out  for 
our  inspection  on  the  clean,  wide  driveway.  By  the  wav, 
speaking  of  the  cleanliness  of  this  place,  it  would  not  be  too 
much  praise  to  say  that  everything  is  kept  as  neat  as  a  lady's 
boudoir,  and  everything  that  can  be  polished  from  tbe 
buckles  on  the  harness  to  the  sleek  coat  of  the  humblest 
equine  shines.  The  taste  displayed  in  tbe  arrangement 
of  boots,  bandages,  towels,  curry  combs,  brashes  and  the 
countless  other  necessities  which  are  part  of  tbe  outfit  of  the 
training  stable  is  commendable  also. 

The  first  one  shown  is  one  of  the  ''prides  oi  Pleasanton,"  a 
large,  well-formed,  bright  bav  two-year-old  called  Stam  B., 
23,444.  He  is  by  Stamboul,  2:07  A,  out  of  Belle  Medium,  2:20, 
by  Happy  Medium,  second  dam  Argenta,  by  Almont  Light- 
ning ;  third  dam  Mary  Adams,  by  Mambrino  Patchen,  etc. 
With  such  breeding,  is  there  any  reason  why  Stam  B.  should 
not  trot  ?  As  an  individual,  nota  flaw  can  be  found  in  him. 
His  disposition  is  perfect,  gait  perfection,  and  speed — well, 
that  will  be  shown  in  the  races.  One  thing  is  certain,  Stam- 
boul never  sired  a  better  colt. 

Belle  Medium,  2:20,  was  bred  to  Direct,  2:05J,  last  year,  but 
missed.  This  season  she  has  been  mated  with  the  king  of  the 
Guy  Wilkes  representatives  at  Pleasanton,  Guycesca  16,690. 
His  dam  is  Francisco,  by  Almont  33 ;  second  dam  Frances 
Breckenridge  (grandam  of  Tuna,  2:18£),  by  Sentinel ;  third 
d^m  by  Bayard;  fourth  dam  Lena,  by  Lexington,  and  so  on 
to  the  twenty-fourth  dam,  the  famous  Layton  Barb  mare. 
Guycesca  is  a  grandly-formed,  rich  bay  three-year-old  colt, 
and  with  tbe  little  work  he  has  had,  shows  he  is  entitled  to 
take  a  front  row  among  the  best  ones  this  year.  He  cannot, 
as  an  individual,  be  improved  upon  in  color,  size,  conforma- 
tion, disposition  and  gait ;  surely  this  about  covers  everything, 
and  especially  when,  with  these  attributes,  is  also  to  be  found 
extreme  speed. 

Red  Nutling,  by  Red  Wilkes,  out  of  Nutila,  by  Nutwood, 
second  dam  Hildegarde,  by  Harold,  is  a  three-year-old  filly 
that  will  get  a  trotting  record  this  fall. 

The  two  Martin  Carter  stallions  are  also  here,  to  be  driven 
by  Dan  Lawrence  this  fall,  viz.,  Nutwood  Wilkes,  2:20-^,  by 
Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  Lida  W.  (dam  of  Direct  Line,  2":29), 
by  Nutwood;  second  dam  Belle,  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr. 
This  young  horse  has  a  bad-looking  hind  ankle,  but  his 
trainer  says  he  will  have  him  in  a  good  fix  when  the  bell 
rings  in  the  judg&s'  stand.  As  a  trotter  this  grand-lookiog 
son  of  Gay  Wilkes  created  q  uite  a  furore  three  years  ago,  and 
proved  that  he  was  true  as  steel  and  as  game  as  a  bulldog.  It 
is  hoped  he  will  stand  training.  His  colts  and  fillies  at  the 
Nutwood  Stock  Farm  near  Irvington  are  said  to  be  as  fine  as 
any  of  their  age  in  California. 

Direct  Line,  2:29,  by  Director,  2:17,  out  of  the  dam  of  Nut- 
wood Wilkes,  is  a  pacer.  He  is  built  on  entirely  different 
lines,  and  will,  if  nothing  happens,  make  a  mark  close  to 
2:20.  He  was  bred  to  a  number  of  mares  that  were  owned  by 
the  Valeusin  estate,  and  the  produce  are  very  well  spoken  of. 

Cyrus,  2:14},  the  bay  pacer  that  received  the  name  of  the 
pacing  Rarus  of  the  West  on  account  of  his  prominent  bony 
conformation,  can  shake  ofFthat  title  this  year,  for  under  Dan 
Lawrence's  careful  conditioning  he  is  round  and  sleek-look- 
ing, and  will  be  better  this  year  than  he  has  ever  been. 

Flora  S  ,  the  roan  mare  by  Dexter  Prince  that  got  a  record 
of  2:18}  at  Oakland  last  year,  and  was  the  talk  of  the  town 
among  horsemen  for  her  stubbornness  and  cranky  ways,  is  as 
docile  as  a  lamb,  and  in  far  better  condition  than  she  was 
when  on  the  circuit.  She  is  a  homely  mare,  badly 
hipped,  but  a  gamer  one  never  looked  through  a  bridle. 

Hulda  is  a  three  year-old  pacer  by  Guide,  2:16},  out  of 
Alice  R.  (dam  of  Eva  W.,  2:25£,  and  Redwood,  2:27),  by 
Naubuc,  that  will  be  seen  in  the  2:30  class  pacing  races  this 
season. 

About  two  miles  from  Pleasanton,  on  the  road  to  Dublin, 
where  the  great  king  of  stallions,  Directum,  2:05},  was  bred, 
lies  the  Santa  Rita  Stock  Farm,  James  Sutherland,  proprie- 
tor. Mr.  Sutherland  has  the  reputation  of  putting  more 
yearlings  in  the  narrow  path  to  fame  than  any  man  in  this 
State.  The  colts  and  fillies  that  graduated  from  his  kinder- 
garten are  taken  in  hand  by  Salisbury.  Hickok  and  others 
and  made  famous. 

In  the  capacious  box  stalls  near  the  three-quarter  mile 
track  on  this  farm,  are  some  very  well-bred  colts  and  fillies  : 
J.  Cameron's  Silvery  Belle,  by  Silver  Bow,  2:16,  out  of  a 
mare  bv  Steinway,  is  a  large  bay  filly,  which,  like  all  the 
Silver  Bow's,  knows  no  other  gait  but  that  of  trotting. 

Arthur  Fiedler,  the  leading  livery  stable  keeper  of  Liver- 
more,  is  also  the  owner  of  a  very  fast  trotter,  if  this  one,  by 
Guide,  2:16},  out  of  Lady  King,  is  ever  entered  in  the  races 
this  year. 

Del  Win,  2:23},  the  three-legged  pacer,  as  Samuel  Gamble 
used  to  call  him,  is  taking  his  daily  work  most  kiudly  and 
will  get  a  mark  close  to  2:20  this  fall . 

Ex-Mayor  Shafer,  of  Oakland,  has  a  Direct  colt  here;  one 
of  the  little  black  rascal's  first  crop,  and  although  it  has  not 
the  substance  that  one  would  look  for  in  a  Direct,  he  has 
size,  speed  and  gameness  and  will  be  no  discredit  to  his  sire 
when  ready  for  the  races. 

Jas.  Sutherland's  "  own  horse  "  as  he  styles  it,  is  a  young 
bay  Sidney  colt,  one  year  old,  full  brother  to  Sid  Roy,  and 
one  of  the  purest-galled  trotters  ever  driven. 

A  full  brother  to  Dictator  Sid;  a  Director  filly  out  of  a 
mare  by  Alcona;  Alcantara  Wilkes,  by  Alcantara,  besides  a 
number  of  other  grandly-bred  ooes.are  in  the  large  stalls, 
and  all  of  them  show  that  Mr.  Sutherland  never  forgets  feed- 
ing, watering  and  caring  for  them.  A  better  kept  lot  of 
youngsters  would  be  hard  to  find  anywhere. 

Out  in  the  pasture  fields  are  mares  by  Dexter  Prince, 
Director,  2:17,  Steinwav,  2:25?,  Chieftain,  Nutwood,  Sidnev, 
2:193,  with  foals  by  their  side>  by  Diablo,  2:09},  Direct,  2:054, 
Guide,  2:16J,  and  other  gre;it  campaigners.  They  are  look- 
ing extremely  well,  fat  and  sleek,  and  the  pasture  is  up  to 
their  knees.  Mr.  Sutherland  pays  daily  visits  to  his  stock, 
and  never  has  a  sick  one  among  them. 

The  impression  given  a  visitor  of  this  portion  of  the  valley 
is,  that  it  is  not  ooly  a  splendidjplace  for  horses,  but  for  cattle 
as  well,  for  in  every  field  are  herdsjof  fine  thoroughbreds,  Dur- 
hams,  Holsteins  and  Jerseys.  Arnaree. 

P.  E.  Smith,  a  turfman  from  Williams,  Cal.,  sent  five 
horses  down  on  Sunday  to  race  at  tbe  Breeders'  and  Horse- 
men's Association  meeting  this  week.  Two  of  them  are  en- 
tered to-Say — Zamroch  and  Sport  McAllister. 

Suspensions  and  expulsions  at  the  meeting  now  in  prog-

Dixtana  Yearlings  Sold. 


Twenty-four  thoroughbred  yearlings,  colts  and  fillies,  the 
get  of  Himyar,  from  Major  B.  G.  Thomas'  famous  Dixiana 
Stud,  were  sold  on  the  night  of  May  30th,  at  the  American 
Horse  Exchange,  New  York.  Although  the  sales  yard  and 
the  galleries  were  tilled  by  a  very  representative  crowd  of 
turfmen,  the  bidding  was,  as  usual,  left  to  some  eight  or  ten 
men,  says  the  New  York  Herald. 

Nowandagaiua  colt  would  go  to  J.  R.  Keene  or  "Phil" 
Dwyeror  Richard  Croker,  but  outside  that  it  was  all  Charles 
Fleischman  or  Charles  Littlefield,  the  one  buying  six  Him- 
y are  and  four  of  the  five  colts  in  the  supplementary  cata- 
logue and  the  other  getting  six  of  the  DixUna  youngsters. 

Although  the  average  was  a  fairly  good  one,  as  times  go, 
the  bidding  throughout  the  sale  was  painfully  slow,  and  not 
even  when  the  brother  of  Domino  and  Correction  was  led  in, 
did  it  wake  up.  Auctioneer  Easton  remarked: — "  If  the 
horses  are  as  slow  as  the  bidding  they  are  not  worth  much." 
Gus  Strauss,  of  Lexington,  made  the  opening  bid  of  $1,000, 
which  Phil  Dwyer  raised  to  $2,500,  the  one  and  only  big 
jump  of  the  sale".  Then  the  owner  of  Domino  took  a  hand. 
Mr.  Dwyer  gave  i*.  up  at  $4,000,  and  the  Lexington  horse- 
men and  Mr.  Keene  fought  it  out  to  $5,000,  another  $100  se- 
curing the  colt  for  Mr.  Keene,  who  will  be  fortunate  indeed 
if  he  has  got  another  $200,000  winner  in  his  two-year-old 
form. 

The  Manhattan  Stable— Richard  Croker — bought  the  best 
looking  colt  of  the  lot,  a  half  brother  to  Halton,  for  $3,100. 

A  summary  of  the  sale  follows:

treat  it  in  a  general  way  as  they  would  the  grippe  in  horses 
The  disease  is  of  catarrhal  form,  and  becomes  first  noticeable, 
on  account  of  nasal  discharge.  It  does  not  have  the  effect  of 
the  strangles  or  distemper,  but  acts  similarly,  affecting  the 
breathing  and  causing  a  high  temperature. 

The  disease  is  at  its  worst  in  twenty-four  hours  after  the 
first  attack  upon  its  victim.  After  it  runs  along  two  or  three 
days  the  animal  refuses  its  food,  but  there  are  no  other 
alarming  conditions,  except  the  frequent  nasal  discharge. 
While  the  symptoms  differ  in  some  respects  from  the  influ- 
enza, it  is  treated  as  such. 

So  far  as  known,  there  have  been  but  few  fatal  cases  among 
horses  in  this  city,  but  the  disease  has  not  been  prevalent  long 
enough  for  its  true  results  to  be  fully  known  and  understood. 
Scarcely  three  weeks  have  elapsed  since  its  inception  in  this 
vicinity,  but  during  this  time  many  alarming  cases  have  been 
treated.  In  cases  where  immediate  steps  are  taken  to  cure, 
before  the  animal  is  afflicted  for  more  than  two  or  three  days, 
there  has  been  little  trouble  to  eradicate  the  germ,  and  the 
horse,  when  properly  cared  for,  is  soon  as  well  as  ever. 

The  prevalence  of  the  unknown  disease  call  to  the  mind 
the  great  epizootic  disease  in  the  70's  and  influenza  among 
horses  in  '87-88,  where  there  were  many  fatal  cases.  Some 
veterinary  surgeons  contend  that  the  present  scourge  is  the 
same  with  which  horses  were  afflicted  all  over  the  country  in 
'87-'8S.  They  called  it  influenza  then,  but  a  few  peculiar 
and  different  symptoms  noticeable  now  tend  to  vex  them  in 
the  study  of  the  disease. — Herald.

Hueneme,  June  4th,  1894. 

Editor  Bfbeder  and  Sportsman  : — Although  we  are 
in  the  midst  of  a  dry  season,  and  agricultural  prospects  are 
not  at  all  flattering,  yet  the  Thirty-first  District  Association 
is  determined  not  only  to  have  a  fair,  and  a  good  one  too, 
but  that  its  programme  of  races  shall  be  such,  as  to  attract 
the  notice  of  horsemen  in  all  parts  of  California,  and  we 
hope  that  it  will  result,  as  it  did  last  year,  in  a  large  list  of 
entries  from  the  owners  and  trainers  of  speedy  horses. 

TheHueneme  track  is  now  in  splendid  condition,  the  soft 
places  have  been  filled  and  smoothened,  two  artesian  wells, 
one  on  each  side  of  the  track,  furnish  an  abundant  supply  of 
water  for  sprinkling,  and  pure,  fine  water  for  the  horses, 
which  I  consider  a  very  important  matter,  as  I  have  known 
race  horses  being  put  out  of  condition  by  bad,  impure  water. 
One  hundred  and  thirty-five  commodious  box  stalls  have 
been  cleaned  and  put  in  condition  for  the  reception  of  our 
four-footed  guests.  Trainers  making  entries  in  the  Southern 
California  Circuit  will  find  Hueneme  track  one  of  the  best 
on  this  Coast,  with  every  advantage  necessary  to  develop 
speed.  Cool,  pleasant  climate,  a  track  that  never  make6 
horses'  feet  sore  and  good  accommodations. 

The  following  programme  of  races  has  been  adopted,  it 
may  be  changed  slightly,  but  if  so,  the  corrected  official  pro- 
gramme will  be  found  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman, 
where  it  will  be  advertised: 

1.  Running,  one-half  mile  dash  for  two-year-olds S200 

2.  Running,  one  and  an  eighth  mile  dash  for  all  ages... 300 

3.  Trotting,  2:20  Class 400 

4.  Trotting,  2:40  Class 400 

5.  Running,  three-quarters  of  a  mile  dash 250 

6.  Running,  one-half  mile  and  repeat 250 

7.  Pacing,  2:27  Class 300 

8.  Trotting,  for  two-year-olds 250 

9.  Running,  Hueneme  Handicap  ($50entry,  S150  added) 150 

10.  Running,  seven-eighths  of  a  mile  dash 250 

11.  Trotting,  2:17  Class 500 

12.  Trotting,  Gentlemen's  Race  (county  only) 200 

13.  Running,  seven-eighths  of  a  mile  dash  for  two-year-olds 200 

14.  Running,  one  mile  dash 300 

15.  Pacing,  2.19  Class 300 

16.  Trotting,  2:30  Class 300 

17.  Running,  one  and  one-quarter  miles  novelty  race 225 

IS.    Trotting  2:25  Class 400 

19.    Trotting,  2:15  Class 600 

Should  any  of  the  above  races  not  fill  satisfactorily,  others 
will  be  given  in  their  places.  A  double-team  race  will  be  added 
if  teams  enough  are  found  to  compete.    T.  H.  Merry,  Sec.

Meridian   News. 


The  little  town  of  Meridian,  situated  on  the  right  bank  of 
the  upper  Sacramento,  is  getting  quite  popular  of  late  as  a 
trottiDg-horse  center,  and  since  the  low  price  of  horses  nearly 
every  farmer  has  grasped  the  opportunity  of  getting  well-bred 
stock,  and  the  result  is  working  quite  an  enthusiasm  on  our 
local  track  situated  at  Doty's  Stock  Farm. 

Mr.  William  Doty's  Brigadier  is  moving  fast.  The  black 
gelding  Billy  Doty,  by  Brigadier,  will  be  a  candidate  for  high 
honors  in  the  Northern  circuit. 

Dr.  Jacob's  bg  Conductor,  by  Constaotine,  is  being  worked 
for  the  fall  racee.and  from  present  indications  will  move  along 
some. 

Chas.  Wheeler  has  in  training  a  pacer  and  also  a  trotter  by 
Tilton  Almont,  dam  by  Hiram  Woodruff,  that  will  be  candi- 
dates for  some  of  the  purses  in  the  Northern  circuit. 

Lou  Sum  my  is  seen  on  the  track  nearlv  every  day  with 
some  of  his  young  trotters  by  Brigadier  and  Alcantara  Jr. 

There  will  be  a  race  for  three-minute  clahfi  trotters  for  a 

fmrse  of  $200  on  the  Doty  track  on  July  1th,  and  the  fol- 
owing  named  gentlemen  have  entered  the  following  named 
horses,  viz.: 

Trotting  race,  three-minute  class,  best  three  in  five,  purse

This  race  is  the  chief  talk  of  the  town  and  a  big  time  is  an- 
ticipated. There  will  be  other  races  arranged  meantime 
sufficient  to  make  a  full  day's  entertainment.

Disease  Among  Horses. 


A  disease  resembling  the  influenza  in  man  is  raging  among 
the  horses  of  Southern  California.  The  epidemic  is  worse  in 
some  localities,  and  herein  Los  Angeles  it  has  become  alarm 

lOg. 

The  veterinarian.-    are   unable  to  classify  the  disease,  but 


Marysville  with  undue  haste  has  advertised  her  fair  for  the 
week  of  July  24th,  which  places  things  at  sixes  and  sevens  in 
the  counties  comprising  the  Northern  Circuit.  This  date  was 
decided  upon  without  consulting  or  conferring  with  the  di- 
rectors of  other  associations,  and  the  result  is  that  there  is  a 
bad  tangle,  and  the  outcome  wilt  be  watched  with  much  in- 
terest especially  by  horsemen  who  contemplate  making  the 
circuit.  The  racing  season  has  usually  closed  at  Maryville, 
but  this  year  the  Directors  of  the  Yuba  County  Association 
are  determined  that  Marysville  shall  be  first.  There  is  noth- 
ing objectionable  in  this  to  the  other  associations  other  than 
the  fixing  of  the  time,  which  is  decidedly  too  early. 

Willows  was  desirous  of  holding  her  fair  from  August  7th 
to  11th,  Red  Blufffrom  the  14th  to  19th,  and  Chicofrom  the 
21st  to  25th .  In  fact,  these  dates  had  already  been  decided 
upon. 

Secretary  Jo  Sproul  and  Director  Charles  Falkner  of  the 
Butte  County  Association,  and  Secretary  W.  V.  Freeman 
and  Assistant  Secretary  Bernard  Mooney  of  the  Glenn  County 
Association  Monday  morning  held  a  conference  with  the  Di- 
rectors of  the  Tehama  County  Association  in  Red  Bluff.  The 
situation  was  fully  discussed,  but  no  definite  action  was  tak- 
en. Secretary  Hook  will  be  advised  by  telegraph  Wednes- 
day what  those  associations  have  decided  upon.  It  is  thought 
that  the  Glenn  County  Association  will  stand  by  its  original 
dates. 

It  is  greatly  regretted  that  the  Yuba  County  Association 
acted  so  hastily.  It  occasions  loss  of  time  and  expensive 
jumps  for  horsemen.  If  geographical  conveniences  were  to 
be  consulted,  the  Butte  fair  would  naturally  follow  that  of 
Yuba,  and  to  do  that  in  this  instance  would  necessitate  Butte 
holding  her  fair  three  weeks  earlier  than  had  been  planned. 
By  leaving  out  Marysville  and  taking  in  Woodland,  the  cir- 
cuit would  be  complete  so  far  as  continuous  dates  and  easy 
jumps  are  concerned. — Red  Bluff' News. 

A  Greeley  veterinarian  told  the  owner  to  give  a  certain 
powder  to  a  sick  horse.  "You  take  the  powder,"  he  ex- 
plained, "put  it  in  a  tin  tube,  open  the  horse's  mouth  and 
blow  the  powder  down  the  its  throat."  Not  long  after  the 
owner  came  back  looking  as  eick  as  people  ever  get  to  be. 
11  Did  you  give  the  horse  the  powder?  "  "  I  tried  to.  I  put 
the  powder  in  the  tin  tube,  forced  open  the  horse's  mouth,  put 
the  tube  in  between  its  teeth  and — "  "Did  you  blow  the 
powder  down  his  throat?"  "No;  I  was  going  to,  but  the 
norse  blew  it  first." 


The  Quickly  Made   Trainer. 

If  there  is  anything  that  is  an  injury  to  the  trotting  horse 
industry  and  that  has  caused  many  a  man  to  become  a  heart- 
sick owner,  it  is  the  nominal  "  professional ''  trainer — the 
novice  that  with  one  fell  swoop  jumps  to  the  sulky  and  pro- 
claims himself  a  "  trainer."  Many  a  man  is  now  in  charge  of 
valuable  horses  that  in  a  word  knows  no  more  about  the  art 
or  the  science  of  developing  a  trotter  than  he  does  of  astron- 
omy. The  indiscreet  owner  who  thinks  he  is  employing 
proper  talent  to  develop  his  "prospect"  is  the  one  who  suffers 
and  he  takes  his  pay  generally  in  telling  "  how  his  prospect_ 
ive  world  beater  was  knocked  out."  He  is  not  an  object  of 
pity,  for  generally  the  fault  lies  with  him.  It  is  no  more 
within  the  scorie  of  reason  for  a  man  to  acquire  proficiency  as 
a  developer  and  trainer  without  experience,  study  and  work 
at  that  calling  under  an  experienced  tutor  than  it  is  for  one 
to  excell  in  any  other  profession  without  first  applying  him 
self  in  gaining  a  correct  understanding  of  his  chosen  avoca- 
tion. Years  ago,  when  the  trotting  horse  industry  was  in  its 
infancy,  there  was  some  excuse  in  employing  the  "novice," 
that  had  proved  a  failure  in  everything  he  ever  undertook, 
to  develop  a  "prospect,"  but  to-day,  when  there  are  in  nearly 
every  county  where  the  trotter  and  pacer  are  bred  men  who 
have  spent  time,  work  and  study  in  gaining  a  proficiency  in 
the  education  of  harness  horses,  there  appears  to  be  little  rea- 
son why  inexperienced  and  necessarily  incompetent  parties 
should  be  given  an  opportunity  to  "  knock  out  "  a  promising 
prospect.  There  was  a  time  when  a  trainer  was  expected  to 
gain  a  knowledge  of  his  calling  at  the  expense  of  the  horse, 
but  that  time  has  passed.  The  conditions  that  exist  to-day  for 
one  to  acquire  knowledge  of  the  trainer's  art  through  a  sys- 
tematic routine  or  course  are  vastly  different  from  what  they 
were  in  the  early  days  of  the  trotting  horse.  A  young  man  has 
to-day  an  opportunity  to  profit  by  the  years  of  experience  and 
study  of  many  successful  men,  when  in  former  days  such  op- 
portunity was  exceedingly  limited.  The  trainer,  therefore,  of 
the  present  and  future  must  necessarily  be  one  that  has 
earned  the  distinction  of  "professional"  through  knowledge  ot 
his  calling  gained  by  hard  and  conscientious  work  and  study . 
The  day  of  the  "  instantaneously  "  created  trainer  should  be 
of  exceeding  brevity. — Western  Horseman. 

In  his  suit  against  Phil  Dwyer  and  the  Brooklyn  Jockey 
Club,  Peter  DeLacey  got  it  where  the  chicken  did — in  the 
neck.  The  suit  was  dismissed  with  a  reprimand  to  DeLacey 
and  his  followers,  Judge  Gaynor,  of  the  Supreme  Court  of 
New  York,  saying  :  "  There  is  no  foundation  for  the  conten- 
tion that  horse-racing  is  a  lottery.  It  is  not  a  lottery,  either 
in  common  speech  or  within  legal  definition.  A  lottery  de- 
pends on  a  lot  or  a  chance,  such  as  the  casting  of  lots,  throw- 
ing dice  or  the  turning  of  a  wheel.  In  the  scheme  of  this 
race,  horse-owners  do  not  pay  a  sum  to  win  a  larger  sum  by 
lot  or  chance,  but  in  order  to  enter  into  the  contest  of  skill, 
endurance  and  speed,  upon  which  the  stake  depends.  With 
the  matter  as  a  debatable  moral  question,  I  have  nothing  to 
do.  I  cannot  make  laws  ;  I  am  bound  to  administer  the  laws 
as  I  find  them.  The  Legislature,  having  specifically  singled 
out  racing  for  stakes,  and  made  it  a  distinct  crime,  and  pre- 
scribed a  punishment  for  it,  it  cannot  be  called  some  other 
crime,  and  punished  as  such.  Racing  horses  for  stakes  may 
be  bad,  but  unlawful  arrests  are  worse.  The  arrest  and  de- 
tention of  the  defendant  was  unwarranted.  It  was  an  exer- 
cise of  arbitrary  power,  and  history  teaches  that  we  have 
more  to  fear  from  arbitrary  power  than  from  all  species  of 
gambling  combined.     The  prisoner  is  discharged." 

The  New  York  Sun  has  the  following  about  a  young  plun- 
ger known  all  over  the  South  and  West:  "Among  those  who 
got  their  fingers  burned  in  the  betting  ring  over  the  Gazelle 
Stakes  was  the  young  Kentucky  bookmaker,  Riley  Grannon. 
He  took  in  all  the  money  he  could  get  against  Nahma  and  bet 
it  with  his  confreres  on  My  Ladj,  so  that  when  Nahma  won 
and  My  Lady  failed  to  show  anywhere  he  was,  in  the  lan- 
guage of  the  talent,  whip-sawed.  Grannon  is  a  young  man 
who  has  had  a  more  or  less  sensational  career  in  following 
racing  for  the  past  two  years.  His  winnings  have  been  large, 
but  of  course  they  have'been  more  or  less  exaggerated,  and  he 
is  nothing  like  the  plunger  most  of  the  stories  printed  about 
him  would  lead  one  to  believe.  His  judgment  of  thorough- 
fa  as  been  fairly  good.  He  made  a  lot  of  money  in  the  East 
here  last  year,  both  in  his  book  and  on  the  outside,  and 
added  to  it  on  the  California  course  last  winter.  He  was 
credited  with  winning  thousands  of  dollars  when  Don  Alonzo 
was  beaten  by  Ed  Kearney  a  few  days  ago,  and  with  losing 
other  thousands  on  Monday,  when  Don  Alonzo  took  Henry 
of  Navarre  into  camp.  The  large  winnings  of  bookmakers 
and  turf  plungers  cau,  as  a  general  thing,  be  divided  by  three. 
Still  Grannon  is  a  young  man  who  will  make  himself  felt  in 
any  betting  ring,  and  just  now  he  is  outshining  Pittsburg  Phil 
and  other  bold  speculators.  Pittsburg  Phil  is  going  slow  this 
spring,  being  content  to  wait  until  he  sees  some  place  where 
he  thinks  he  is  sure  of  landing  his  money."

[Jone  9, 1894 


The  Thoroughbred  in  'War. 

"  When  I  went  to  the  war  in  1861,"  wrote 
Senator  Wade  Hampton,  "  I  took  with  me 
three  thoroughbred  stallions.  One  was  black, 
one  was  a  dark  chestnut  and  the  other  was  a 
chestnut  sorrel.  My  lather  was  not  only  a 
noted  importer  of  running  horses,  but  a  fa- 
mous breeder  of  the  thoroughbred  as  well. 
1  rode  the  black  stallion  at  the  first  Bull  Run 
battle,  where  1  commanded  the  Hampton  Le- 
gion. At  the  famous  cavalry  fight  at  Brandy 
Station  with  Pleasanton,  in  1863, 1  rode  the 
chestnut.  He  was  a  hard  horse  to  control  in 
a  charge,  and  on  that  day  he  twice  nearly  car- 
ried me  into  the  enemy's  lines.  I  rode  the 
chestnut  sorrel  at  the  great  cavalry  fight  in 
the  rear  of  Meade's  army  on  the  third  day  at , 
Gettysburg,  and  came  near  meeting  the  same  j 
fate  as  that  I  escaped  at  Brandy  Station.  My  \ 
experience  with  thoroughbreds  is,  in  time  of 
war,  that  they  are  safer  horses  with  which  to 
get  away  from  the  enemy  than  when  you  are 
going  toward  him,  especially  when  on  a  gal- 
lop. But  when  it  cames  to  endurance,  one 
thoroughbred  will  kill  three  cold-blooded 
horses  in  a  campaign.  They  will  go  further 
with  less  food,  go  faster  and  show  more  cour- 
age in  the  face  of  danger.  I  have  ridden  the 
stallions  I  mention  into  Federal  batteries  and 
they  never  flinched.  All  of  them  werewoHnded 
three  or  four  times,  but  they  pulled  through. 
1  think  a  body  of  men  mounted  on  entire 
horses  would  prove  much  more  formidable  in 
a  charge  than  the  same  force  mounted  on  geld- 
ings of  the  same  blood.  Our  ancestors  (in  an- 
cient times)  always  went  to  war  on  entire 
horses,  and  in  order  that  their  presence  might 
not  be  betrayed  their  nostrils  were  slit,  so 
that  the  horses  could  not  neigh.  The  Arabs  in 
their  journeys  prefer  entire  horses,  as  they 
seem  to  have  more  courage,  sense  and  endur- 
ance than  mares  or  geldiugs.  John  Morgan 
owed  his  success  in  the  late  war  to  the  fact 
that  in  his  raids  his  men  were  mounted  on 
Kentucky  thoroughbreds."

and  found  an  old  man  rasping  out  the  noisest 
kind  of  jig  music  from  a  fiddle.  I  asked  him 
why  on  earth  he  was  making  such  a  racket  in 
his  stall  when  all  should  be  quiet.  He  re- 
plied :  '  Wal,  this  here  mar  is  sech  a  darn  fool

2:07  and  2:06,  all  to  high-wheel  sulky,  which  has  never  been  equaled  by  any  horse,  living  or 
dead.  He  has  shown  a  quarter  in  0:27£,  which  is  faster  than  any  other  horse  has  ever  shown 
in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says :  "  Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on 
his  head  in  a  quarter  of  a  mile."     In  150  heats  he  never  made  a  mistake.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  lo 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  palling,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  ol 
this  book:  "in  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  alid  It  Is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  hands  ot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Asso- 
ciation Races. 


NINTH  DAY — FRIDAY,  JUNE  9. 

»  HERE  were  several  kinds  of  excite- 
merit  this  afternoon  at  the  old  track, 
and  a  goodly  crowd  was  in  atten- 
dance to  help  makederoxcidement. 
Again  four  favorites  were  beaten, 
the  other  events  being  taken  by  two 
second  choices  and  two  rather  long 
shots.  The  track  was  in  prime  order 
and  the  racing  good  throughout. 
Six  races  were  on  the  card,  but  the 
handicap  of  seven  furlongs  was  de- 
clared off  on  account  of  all  scratching  out  but  three.  The 
feature  of  the  day's  sport  was  the  exceedingly  close  finish 
between  Lodi  and  Durango,  less  than  two  inches  separating 
the  pair  at  the  end.  As  is  generally  the  case  when  there 
is  such  a  close  contest  and  one  horse  is  dying  away,  the  other 
gaining  fast,  there  was  a  clamoring  over  the  verdict. 

Tornado  led  to  the  homestretch  in  the  first  race,  then  Zam- 
lock  came  up  and  won  easily  by  a  length,  with  Niagara  in 
the  place,  half  a  length  in  front  of  Chiquito. 

Charley  Quick  led  all  the  way  in  the  second  race,  closely 
pressed  to  the  final  sixteenth  by  Arno.  Kitty  L.  came  from 
the  rear  and  got  the  place  and  Lady  Jane  the  show. 

Trix  took  the  third  race  into  camp  for  his  owner,  C.  H. 
Durkee.  Tillie  S.  led  at  the  half  and  North  into  the  home- 
Btretch.  Tillie  S.  was  the  favorite,  and  but  for  poor  riding  on 
Kinne's  part  should  have  won  the  race.  She  finished  over  a 
length  behind  Trix,  however,  and  about  as  far  in  front  of 
North. 

Mendocino  won  the  fourth  very  cleverly  by  half  a  length, 
after  Nellie  Van  ind  Ida  Glenn  had  run  in  the  lead  into  the 
homestretch.  Prince  was  a  good  second  and  April  third,  just 
&  head  in  front  of  Ida  Glenn. 

Durango,  dying  away  at  a  great  rate,  just  lasted  long 
enough  to  get  the  verdict  in  the  last  race  by  the  narrowest 
possible  margin  from   Lodi,  with  O'Bee  in  the  show.

to  30  to  1.  To  a  fair  start  Tornado  led  by  over  a  length  at 
the  half-pole,  Zamlock  and  Bliss  close  together.  Zamlock 
eoon  ran  up  close  to  Tornado,  and  into  the  homestretch  they 
were  nose  and  nose,  with  Chiquito  third.  Niagara  moved 
up  fast  in  the  homestretch,  once  they  were  straightened  out, 
but  Zamlock  came  on  and  won  with  ease  by  a  length,  Nia- 
gara getting  the  place  in  a  great  rush  by  half  a  length,  Chi- 
quito third,  over  a  length  in  front  of  the  next  horse.  Time,

up  fast.  They  bunched  up  in  the  straight,  and  shouts  went 
up  for  Lady  Jane,  but  Charlie  Quick  cime  away  at  the  end

The  start  was  a  perfect  one.  Jennie  Deane  and  Tillie  S. 
were  close  together  at  the  half,  about  a  leogtb  in  front  of 
North,  who  was  but  a  neck  from  BaDJo.  North  ran  around 
the  field  as  they  neared  the  homestretch,  and  shouts  went  up 
for  him.  Trix  came  through  from  the  rear  in  the  last  fur- 
long, and  galloped  in  a  winner  by  one  and  a  half  lengths, 
Tillie  S.  second,  as  far  from  North,  who  had  Banjo  at  his

Boule  was  the  hottest  sort  of  a  favorite,  opening  at  4  to  1, 
closing  at  8  to  5.  Ida  Glenn  was  at  5  (opened  at  3).  Mendo-

Nellie  Van,  April  and  Ida  Glenn  ran  close  together  passing 
the  half.  Boule,  the  favorite,  was  last  away,  and  very  slug- 
gish. Ida  Glenn  ran  up  close  to  the  leader  turning  into 
the  homestretch,  Prince  third,  Mendocino  moving  from  the 
bunch,  and  Boule  gaining  fast,  close  against  the  rails.  Ida 
Glenn  looked  a  winner  up  to  the  last  forty  yards,  where  Men- 
docino, in  the  center  of  the  track,  came  like  a  streak  and 
won  handily  at  the  end  by  about  a  length,  with  Prince  sec- 
ond, a  neck  from  April,  the  latter  a  short  head  in  front  of  Ida 
Glenn.     Time,  1:10.

Lodi  was  a  well- supported  favorite  at  2  to  1.  O'Bee 
was  backed  down  from  4  to  34  to  1.  Red  Rose  was  at  5, 
Little  Tough  6,  Durango  8,  others  from  10  to  30  to  1.  Du- 
rango, Corncob,  Mt.  Carlos  was  the  order  to  a  good  start.  At 
the  balf-pole  Durango  was  one  and  one-half  lengths  to  the 
good,  Corncob  second,  about  a  length  from  Mt.  Carlos.  Dur- 
ango led  into  the  homestretch  by  a  length,  Mt.  Carlos  now 
second,  lapped  by  Lodi,  who  was  improving  his  position  fast. 
Mt.  Carlos  fell  back  in  the  final  furlong,  and  Lodi  came 
bowling  along  in  the  center  of  the  track.  Dying  away  fast, 
Durango  passed  the  finishing  point  first  by  tbe  narrowest  of 
margins,  Lodi  second,  two  lengths  from  O'Bee,  who  claimed 
Lodi  fouled  him  on  the  final  turn.  There  was  no  end  of  ex- 
citement over  tbe  decision  given  placing  Durango 
first,  "  Long  John  "  WilkiDS  starting  the  ball  of  trouble 
a-rolling  by  crying  out  that  Lodi  had  won.  Thee  the  trainer 
of  Lodi,  who  was  slightly  under  the  weather,  used  a  number 
of  insulting  epithets,  and  a  mass  of  excited  men  gathered 
around  the  judges'  stand,  they  being  for  the  most  part  hold- 
ers of  Lodi  tickets. 


TENTH   DAY— SATURDAY,  JUNE  9. 

With  seven  good  races  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Asso- 
ciation wound  up  its  meeting-  A  strong,  chill  wind  doubtless 
kept  many  from  the  race  course,  but  still  there  was  a  more 
than  respectable  crowd  in  attendance  to  see  the  last  of  the 
running  races  here  for  several  months  to  come.  There  were 
three  close  finishes — in  fact,  it  was  only  in  the  last  race  of  the 
day  that  the  outcome  was  not  clothed  in  doubt  up  to  the  last 
few  yards.  Coombs  rode  two  of  the  winners,  Sloan  two,  Coady, 
Burns  and  Tuberville  the  others.  The  bookmakers  generally 
quit  loser  on  the  day,  five  favorites,  a  second  choice,  and  one 
long  shot  capturing  the  coin.  Especially  hard  were  they 
hit  in  the  race  won  by  North,  it  being  claimed  the  Leinster 
gelding  was  "shooed  in."  He  is  a  fast  horse  at  the  distance,  how- 
ever, and  does  not  need  much  shooing  in  to  win  with  tbe 
light  weight  he  had  up.  On  word  being  brought  to  the 
judges'  stand  by  a  responsible  person  that  the  betting  on  Til- 
lie S.  had  taken  a  sudden  jump  from  2  to  1  to  4  to  1  for  no 
apparent  reason  and  on  account  of  rumors  in  circulation  that 
Tigress  was  going  to  be  "shooed  in,"  the  judges  thought  it 
best  to  change  the  jockey  on  Tigress'  most  formidable  oppon- 
ent, Tillie  S.,  Burns  being  substituted  for  the  rather  inex- 
perienced Cuddy.  Tillie  S.  went  on  and  won  the  fast e  st 
seven-furlong  race  we  have  had  in  many  weeks. 

The  feature  of  the  day's  sport  was  the  exciting  finish  in 
the  handicap  for  two-year-olds.  Model  won  by  a  head,  a 
neck  separating  Malo  Diablo  and  Key  Alfonso,  respectively 
second  and  third. 

Polaski  at  last  won  a  race,  and  he  did  it  in  fine  style  with 
odds  of  6"  to  1  against  him.  North  won  by  about  a  length 
from  Prince,  who  was  coming  up  fast  at  the  close.  Hal  Fisher 
got  in  a  pocket  in  the  homestretch.  Warrago  was  ridden  in 
a  most  peculiar  manner  by  Sloan,  finishing  a  bad  last,  and  a 
lot  of  money  was  landed  by  the  plungers.  Tillie  S.'s  win  was 
a  great  one,  but  a  lot  of  money  weat  glimmering  on  Tigress' 
chances.  Mustesa  just  beat  old  Gladiator  a  head  in  a  drive, 
and  the  plungers  were  made  happy  again.  Bill  Howaid 
was  all  out  when  he  beat  little  Chemuck  a  neck  in  the  sixlh 
race,  and  Sport  McAllister  had  a  regular  picnic  in  the  last 
race  of  the  day  and  meeting.

to  100  to  1.  Monarch,  Red  Bird,  Mount  Carlos  was  the 
order  to  a  good  start.  Monarch  sprang  to  the  front  from 
the  first  jump,  leadine  past  the  hatf-pole  by  a  head,  Mount 
Carlos  second,  a  neck  from  Ked  Bird,  at  whose  heels  came 
Ben  H.  The  last-named  ran  very  fast  nearing  the  home- 
stretch, and  was  first  rounding  the  final  turn  by  a  short  head, 
Red  Bird  next,  a  head  in  front  of  Monarch,  who  led  Polaski 
and  George  L.,  close  together,  by  daylight.  In  the  last  J  00 
yards  Polaski  came  with  a  rush,  and  in  the  last  few  strides 
came  awav  sufficiently  to  win  by  half  a  length  from  Red  Bird, 
who  beat  George  L.  a  short  head  for  the  place.  Oscar,  the 
favorite,  was  fourth.     Time,  1:02.

Rey  Alfonso  ruled  a  favorite  until  -post  time  was  approached, 
when  the  shower  of  Model  coin  had  forced  her  odds  down  to 
6  to  5.  on  a  par  with  those  of  the  colt.  Malo  Diablo  was  at 
2*  to  1,  St.  Cecilia  filly  7  (opened  at  12),  Charley  Quick  10 
to  1.  Model  and  Key  Alfonso  acted  badly  at  the  post,  delay- 
ing matters  for  about  twenty  minutes.  A  good  start  was  fin- 
ally effected,  with  Malo  Diablo,  Key  Alfonso  and  the  St. 
Cecilia  filly  the  first  to  show.  Rey  Alfonso  was  in  front  in 
the  first  seventy-five  yards,  and  at  the  half  was  leading  by  two 
lengths,  Malo  Diablo  in  the  place,  a  neck  in  front  of  the  St. 
Cecilia  filly,  Charley  Quick  next  and  Model  still  last.  At 
the  final  turn  the  leader's  advantage  was  only  a  length,  and 
all  were  closing  up.  Malo  Diablo  showed  in  second  place, 
half  a  lenglh  from  the  St.  Cecilia  filly.  Model  was  last,  but 
gaining  very  fast  and  just  making  her  move.  The  race  from 
this  spot  home  was  a  beautiful  one.  Forty  yards  of  the  finish 
Model  raced  up  on  even  terms  with  Rey  Alfonso  and  Malo 
Diablo,  who  were  head  and  head,  and  in  a  drive  won  by  a 
head,  Malo  Diablo  second,  a  neck  from  Rey  Alfonso.  Charley 
Quick  finished  fourth.     Time,  1:02.

North  was  plunged  on  for  a  good  thing  in  the  third  race, 
the  odds  being  forced  down  by  weight  of  c  in  from  '2\  to  1  to 
4  to  5.  The  odds  against  Hal  Fisher  lengthened  out  from 
8  to  5  to  6  to  1.  Warrago  was  at  3  to  1,  Prince  8,  the  others

Hal  Fisher  was  against  the  rails,  fifth,  and  beginning  to  move

Tigress  was  played  down  in  the  seven-furlong  dash  from  6 
to  5  to  3  to  5.  Tillie  S.  opened  at  2  to  1,  and  her  odds  re- 
ceded to  4.  When  Burns  was  substituted  for  Cuddy  the  odds 
against  Tillie  soon  fell  to  8  to  5.  Gordius  was  at  6  to  1,  the 
others  at  long  odds.  Alexis,  Tillie  S.,  Ledalia  was  the  order 
to  a  good  start.  Tillie  S.  led  at  the  quarter  and  half  by  a 
length,  Ledalia  second  at  the  latter  spot,  half  a  length  in 
front  of  Gordius.  Tillie  S.  was  taken  back  third  about  three 
furlongs  from  home,  but  at  the  final  turn  was  given  her  head, 
and  she  gained  fast.  In  the  last  forty  yards  she  came  to  the 
front  and  won  handily  by  a  length  from  Gordius  in  the  fast

Whoever  it  was  that  originated  the  saying  that  "  the  Eng- 
lish take  their  pleasures  sadly  "  can  safely  be  exonerated  from 
ever  having  formed  a  unit  in  that  heterogenous  mass  that 
makes  up  the  crowd  which  congregates  on  Epsom  Downs  on 
Derby  Day.  It  is  a  crowd  on  pleasure  bent.  To  a  great  pro- 
portion that  day  is  set  apart  for  its  yearly  holiday,  so  one  may 
rest  assured  that  as  much  amusement  is  put  in  as  the  hours 
will  admit.  On  this  day  on  the  road  to  Epsom  the  earl  and 
the  costermonger  are  on  a  level,  for  "  those  on  the  turf  and 
under  the  turf"  are  said  to  be  equal.  A  really  good-natured 
crowd  it  is,  too,  the  language  used,  perhaps,  being  a  little 
more  forcible  than  polite,  but  still  not  carrying  the  sting  with 
it  as  does  the  sarcastic  remarks  of  the  swell.  On  this  holiday 
there  is  downright  determination  all  round  to  agree  with 
.Esop,  as  interpreted  by  Dickens,  that  "  the  bow  must  be  some 
time  loose."  One  may  well  ask,  "  but  why  all  this  excitement 
on  this  one  holiday  ?  "  Simply  because  the  hard-working 
"  coster  "  and  working  poor  of  London  generally  have  but 
this  one  holiday,  no  wonder  then  they  indulge  in  violent 
delights  on  that  day.  Those  who  want  to  see  samples  of  all 
degrees  of  cockneys  have  their  golden  opportunity  on  this 
day,  from  the  Prince  of  Wales  to  the  vilest  of  Fagan's  pupils, 
the  observer  may  pass  all  the  inhabitants  of  London  in 
review. 

To  many  it  may  seem  wonderful  that  the  number  of  large 
stakes  now  given  in  England,  in  some  cases  more  than  treb- 
ling the  intrinsic  value  of  the  Derby,  has  not  had  a  deterior- 
ating effect  on  that  race.  Such  is  not  the  case.  The  height 
of  every  racing  man's  ambition  is  to  own  a  Derby-winner, 
though  in  the  present  day  it  is  very  difficult  to  win  any  large 
sum  of  money  in  bets  over  this  race,  but  still  as  a  winner  the 
value  of  the  horse  is  greatly  enhanced  for  stud  purposes. 

Naturally  there  is  a  vast  amount  of  luck  attached  to  win- 
ning a  Derby.  Teddy  Brayley,  who  in  his  day  won  more 
races  than  any  one  man,  who  once  said,  'c  I'm  tired  of  win- 
ning," won  every  race  of  importance,  and  although  he  spent 
thousands  in  the  attempt,  he  could  never  win  the  Derby. 
The  Duke  of  Beaufort  is  another  instance.  When  he  might 
have  had  a  chance  with  Petronel,  which  had  won  the  Two 
Thousand  Guineas,  it  was  found  he  was  not  entered  in  the 
Derby.  The  late  Lord  Westmoreland,  the  best  judge  of  rac- 
ing and  racehorses  in  England,  spent  the  whole  of  his  fortune 
in  the  vain  attempt.  Lord  Bradford,  after  trying  for  years, 
won  it  with  a  very  poor  specimen,  Sir  Hugo,  whose  lucky 
star  must  have  been  in  the  ascendant  on  the  Derby  day  of 
1892.  Baron  Rothschild  tried  very  hard  for  years,  both  by 
breeding  and  buying,  but  with  no  success,  till  1879  he  bought 
Sir  Bevys,  entered  in  Mr.  Acton's  name,  and  this  horse,  fav- 
ored by  the  grand  jockeyshlp  of  George  Fordham,  won  the 
race.  Perhaps  there  is  only  one  instance  on  record  where  a 
man  owned  a  horse  with  which  he  knew  he  could  win  the 
Derby,  but  yet  saved  him  for  four  months  to  win  a  race — the 
Cambridgeshire — on  which  he  could  win  more  money.  This 
was  the  case  of  the  late  F.  Gretton,  a  partner  in  the  firm  of 
Bass  &  Co.,  the  brewers,  who  was  the  owner  of  Isonomy — 
claimed  by  many  to  be  the  horse  of  the  century— in  1878, 
when  Sefton  won  for  Mr.  Crawford,  whose  stable  was  man- 
aged by  his  wife,  the  Dowager  Duchess  of  Montrose. 

It  is  now  more  than  forty  years  ago  that  Mat  Dawson,  the 
trainer  of  Ladas,  the  great  favorite  for  this  year's  Derby,  pre- 
pared his  first  candidate  for  this  race  in  Hobbie  Noble.  This 
was  considered  a  certainty,  but  a  pouring  wet  day  settled  his 
chance  in  favor  of  the  wretched  Daniel  O'Rourke,  a  veri- 
table "  mud- lark."  It  was  in  the  '50s  that  Mat  Dawson  wrote 
his  name  on  the  temple  of  fame  by  winning  the  Derby  with 
the  grand  horse  Thormanby,  over  whom  Mr.  Merry,  the 
owner,  won  £100,000.  So  sure  was  he  of  winning  that  he 
had  a  £1000  Bank  of  England  note  ready  in  his  vest  pocket 
to  give  to  Custance,  the  jockey,  on  his  dismounting.  The 
race  was  won  only  just  in  time,  as  forty-eight  hours  after 
Thormanby  was  down  with  the  strangles,  and  never  was  the 
same  horse  again.  Dawson  all  but  won  the  Derby  the  fol- 
lowing year  with  Dundee,  but  was  just  beaten  by  Kettledrum, 
after  one  of  the  fastest  races  on  record.  Caractacus  won  in 
1862,  when  a  story  was  whispered  that  he  ran  several  pouuds 
lighter  than  he  was  supposed  to,  in  consequence  of  a  whip 
loaded  with  quicksilver,  which  was  weighed  in  but  was  not 
carried. 

In  1865  Gladiateur,  the  great  French  champion,  first  won 
the  Derby  for  a  foreigner.  What  a  scene  of  excitement  must 
have  prevailed — what  osculatory  attentions  must  have  been 
wasted,  judging  from  the  actions  of  the  sprightly  Gaul  when 
his  countrymen  win  even  a  small  race.  Hermit's  year,  1867, 
was  nolable  for  two  things — that  snow  fell  heavily  during 
the  race,  it  being  the  means  of  bringing  off  the  greatest  coup 
ever  known  since  the  race  was  instituted,  and  also  being  the 
cause  of  the  ruin  of  the  Marquis  of  Hastings.  Mr.  Chaplin, 
the  owner  of  Hermit,  and  the  Marquis  were  great  friends  un- 
til a  circumstance  intervened  which  disrupted  the  union. 
Doncaster,  who  won  in  1873,  introduced  to  notice  one  of  the 
most  astute  of  modern  trainers,  Robert  Peck,  who  trained 
for  Mr.  Merry,  the  great  Scotch  ironmaster.  Doncaster  was 
a  grand  horse,  but  was  allowed  to  start  at  40  to  1,  though  the 
stable's  connections  won  a  large  stake.  Doncaster  could  not 
follow  up  his  success  in  the  St.  Leger,  being  beaten  by  his 
stable  companian  Marie  Stuart,  belonging  also  to  Mr.  Merry. 
What  an  embarras  de  richesse  for  one  man  to  own  two  ani- 
mals capable  of  winning  the  Derby  the  same  year.  George 
Frederick  took  the  race  for  Mr.  Cartwright  the  following 
year.  Courronne  de  Fer,  belonging  to  Lord  Rosebery — then 
quite  a  young  turfite — being  beaten  half  a  length.  This  was 
his  lordship's  first  entry  for  the  Derby.  To  show  what  bad 
horses  may  sometimes  run  up  in  the  Derby,  Glenalmond,  who 
finished  third,  though  he  absolutely  started  first  favorite  for 
the  Leger,  never  won  a  race  of  any  description,  and  after  be- 
ing tried  over  hurdles  was  eventually  sold  for  £30.  The 
victory  of  Galopin  in  1875  was  most  cordially  greeted,  he  be- 
ing o<vned  by  Prince  Bathyany,  who  had  virtually  made  Eng- 
land his  home  and  had  endeared  himself  to  the  people  by 
the  straightforward  way  in  which  he  ran  his  horses  and  by 
bis  generosity.  It  may  well  be  said  of  him  that  he  died  in 
harness,  for  whilst  writ  chine  the  race  for  the  Two 
Thousand  Guineas  of  1893,  won  by  Galliard,  his  favorite 
son  of  his  old  horse  Galopin,  he  fell  dead  as  the  horse 
passed  the  post.  Kisber,  of  whom  I  have  spoken  above, 
won  the  following  year,  though  there  was  a  better  horse  in 
England,  viz.:  Petrarch,  who  showed  his  superiority  in  the 


St.  Leger.  Petrarch  was  a  very  delicate  horse  to  train,  which 
made  his  running  very  "in  and  out."  The  i?in  of  Silvio  is 
noted  for  being  Fred  Archer's  first  Derby,  It  was  an  easily 
won  race,  the  favorite,  the  French  horse  Chamant,  being  no- 
where. This  was  the  beginning  of  that  streak  of  luck  for  the 
triumvirate,  Lord  Falmouth  owner,  Mat  Dawson  trainer,  and 
Fred  Archer  jockey,  which  lasted  for  ovei  four  -ears.  In 
1878  Sefton  was  to  the  fore.  A  month  before  this  Derby  he 
was  not  quoted,  but  winning  the  City  and  Suburban,  though 
carrying  but  80  £,  like  a  racehorse  he  came  at  a  bound  and 
eventually  started  at  10  to  1.  As  I  have  mentioned  before 
Isonomy  was  in  this  race;  how  easily  he  could  have  won  it 
can  be  seen  for  when  he  afterwards  met  the  second  in  the 
Derby,  who  was  beaten  a  length,  he  gave  him  no  le«a  than 
49  lbs.  and  beat  him  three  lengths!  The  winner  of  the  follow- 
ing year,  Sir  Bevys,  was  about  the  worst  animal  that  ever 
won  the  race,  that  too  in  the  face  of  such  a  racehorse  as  the 
mighty  Rayon  d'  Or,  who  afterwares  won  tiw  Leger.  To  ex- 
plain this  I  must  mention  that  for  days  it  had  rained  in  tor- 
rents till  the  course  was  absolutely  a  quagmire.  The  worst 
place  was  at  Tattenham  Corner,  where  all  the  horses  save 
one  were  hugging  the  rails,  floundering  knee  deep  in  mud. 
While  all  eyes  were  centered  on  the  struggling  group  Ford- 
ham  on  Sir  Bevys  had  gone  all  round  his  horses  and  had 
taken  his  place  under  the  rails  on  the  opposite  side  of  the 
course,  where  the  going  was  fairly  good,  and  much  to  the 
astonishment  of  those  in  the  grand  stand,  sneaked  up  under 
their  very  ncses  and  won  easily  by  three  Ieagths.  Fordham 
had  retired  some  years  before  this,  but  though  he  had  won 
every  race  of  importance  the  turf  could  offer,  was  still  the 
Derby  short.  This  so  weighed  upou  him  that  he  returned  to 
the  saddle  with  the  above  lucky  result. 

There  were  two  champions  in  the  land  the  following  year, 
Bend  Or  and  Robert  tbe  Devil,  the  former  winning  a  terrific 
race,  thanks  to  the  wonderful  rising  of  Archer.  Iroquois, 
the  American  horse,  .00k  the  rtce  the  following  year, 
Archer  again  being  the  pilot.  Another  American  was 
third,  in  Sachem,  a  wretch  that  never  was  up  to  this  form 
again,  he  never  winning  •*.  race,  though  tried  in  every  kind  of 
company. 

On  the  morning  of  this  race  Lord  Rosebery  bought  from 
Robert  Peck  a  horse  called  Bonnie  Scotland,  for  £10.000,who 
started  first  favorite,  but  fulfilling  the  prophecy  of  a  well- 
known  turfite,  finished  absolutely  last.  It  was  now  a  mare's 
turn  to  win  the  race,  Shotover  being  the  heroine.  It  was 
very  doubtful  if  she  would  have  won  had  Bruce,  the  favorite, 
been  ridden  in  any  shape  at  all.  Indeed,  so  badly  was  he 
ridden  that  it  was  more  than  hinted  that  the  jockey  was 
bought.  This,  1882,  was  indeed  a  mare's  year,  animals  of 
that  sex  winning  all  the  classic  events.  St.  Blaise  represent- 
ing the  same  stable  as  Shotover,  won  the  following  year, 
though  it  was  a  very  tight  fit,  many  good  judges  declaring 
that  Fred  Archer  had  just  got  up  on  Galliard,  who  had  won 
the  Two  Thousand  previously,  St.  Blaise  being  fourth.  The 
next  year  made  a  record,  in  its  furnishing  a  dead  heat  between 
St.  Gatien  and  Harvester.  The  latter  broke  down  three  or  four 
lengths  from  tbe  winning  post,  or  would  have  won.  Jack 
Hammond,  the  owoer  of  St.  Gatien,  formerly  a  lad  in  a  New- 
market stable,  was  either  too  chivalrous  or  had  sundry  golden 
reasons  not  to  make  Sir  John  Willoughby,  the  owner  of  Har- 
vester, run  the  race  off.  Melton's  was  an  uninteresting  Derby, 
only  remarkable  that  Archer  again  rode  the  winner.  The 
mighty  Ormonde  came  next ;  how  good  this  horse  was  it  is 
difficult  to  tell,  as  he  simply  made  good  horses  into  selling 
platers  when  competing  with  him.  The  Bard — a  little  horse 
only  15| — was  second.  He  had  won  sixteen  engagements  as 
a  two-year-old,  never  being  beaten,  but  when  he  met  Ormonde 
the  old  adage  came,  "  A  good  big  one  is  sure  to  best  a  good 
little  one."  Merry  Hampton's  victory  may  be  passed  by  with 
the  remark  that  he  was  the  best  of  a  bad  lot.  Ayrshire  and 
Donovan,  in  successive  years,  won  for  the  Duke  of  Portland. 
The  latter  of  these  horses  is  noted  for  winning  the  greatest 
amount  in  stakes  of  any  two-year-old.  Sanfoin's  lot  was  cast 
in  pleasant  places,  for  he  was  by  no  means  a  good  horse,  but 
in  that  year  he,  too,  was  the  best  of  a  poor  lot.  Common, 
out  of  the  same  stable,  presided  over  by  John  Porter,  won  in 
1892.  This  was  a  good  horse,  though  not  a  brilliant  one, 
though  he  does  stand  out  as  having  won  the  triple  crown — Two 
Thousand,  Derby  and  Leger. 

And  now  one  word  as  to  this  year's  Derby.  It  holds  this 
year  a  unique  position  in  tbe  history  of  the  turf,  on  account 
of  the  favorite  being  owned  by  the  Premier.  The  nearest 
approach  to  this  was,  I  think,  in  the  case  of  Lord  Palmerston, 
but  at  the  time  he  was  not  in  power.  There  is  no  doubt  but 
that  Lord  Rosebery  has  the  good  wishes  of  all  that  Ladas  may 
be  returned  the  winner.  His  Lordship  has  run  second  with 
Couronne  de  Fer,  third  with  Visconti,  has  given  $10,000  for 
a  brute  that  ran  absolutely  last  and  Dever  won  a  race,  also 
£S,000 — and  a  contingency  of  £5,000  mure  if  we  won — for  a 
horse  called  All  Heart,  which  after  going  about  a  quarter  of 
a  mile  refused  to  budge  another  inch.     He,  too,  never  won  a 

race. — Horseman.

Ringbone. 

The  disease  we  are  about  to  treat  on  will  be  found  to  be 
another  form  of  exostosis,  or  rather  exostosis  in  another  situ- 
ation, and  may  be  regarded  as  "  a  disease  of  joint,"  in  so  far 
as  it  has  connection,  direct  or  indirect,  with  any  joint,  though 
this  will  be  found  to  be  generally  the  case  whenever  lameness 
is  a  consequence,  and  sometimes  when  such  is  not  perceptible. 
The  appellation  of  ringbone  is  applicable  to  any  osseous 
tumor  upon  the  pastern  bone,  but  with  the  greatest  propriety 
to  that  which  takes  on  the  form  of  a  ring  around  the  bone,  a 
shape  which  any  continuous  osseous  deposit  is  likely  to 
assume  from  the  circumstances  of  its  substratum  being  the 
rotund  surface  of  a  cylinder.  The  ordinary  site  of  ringbone 
is  the  pastern  bone.  It  is  possible,  however,  but  a  rare  occur- 
rence, for  it  to  be  confined  to  the  coronet  bone.  It  occurs 
more  frequently  npon  the  hind  than  upon  the  fore  leg. 

Generally  we  find  the  tumor  approximating  the  pastern 
j'jint,  and  when  such  is  the  case,  and  the  deposition  of  callous 
proceeds,  we  perceive  the  tumefaction  gradually  creeping 
over  this  joint,  involving  as  well  the  bones  above  and  below, 
more  or  less,  in  the  disease.  Sometimes  the  tumor  occupies 
[lie  middle  of  the  pastern  bone,  having  no  immediate  connec- 
tion with  any  joint.  Rarely  is  it  seen  sufficiently  high  upon 
the  pastern  to  disturb  the  fetlock  joint. 

These  various  sites  of  exostosis  have  given  rise  to  distinc- 
tions into  high  ringbone  and  low  ringbone,  the  latter  being 
tne  common  or  ordinary  kind.  Such  distinctions,  however, 
can  serve  little  practical  purpose,  save  in  so  far  as  being  high 
and  low  the  ossification  involves  the  pastern  or  fetlock  joint 
in  its  spread,  and  implicates  the  cavity  of  the  joint  in  the  dis- 
ease. It  is  anything  but  uncommon  to  see  the  pastern  joint 
ia  a  state  of  anchylosis  from  ringbone,  and  in  the  difierent 
veterinary  museums  preparations  enough  will  be  found  of  the 
coffin  (joint)  from  the  spread  of  ossification  being  anchylosed 
as  well.  Any  portion,  however,  of  the  exostosis  which  might 
occupy  the  lower  half  of  the  coronet  bone  would  be  included 
within  the  coronary  substance  (or  coronary  ligament),  in 
which  situation  it  might  probably  not  come  under  the  denom- 
ination of  ringbone. 

Without  reference  to  its  situation,  however,  a  ringbone 
may  be  large  or  small.  There  will  likewise,  as  has  already 
been  alluded  to,  be  found  variations  in  the  form  of  a  tumor. 
Very  often,  instead  of  being  complete,  the  segment  of  the 
ring  is  defective.  Then  tumors  exist  on  either  side  of  the 
pastern  without  any  perceptible  prominence  in  the  middle 
between  the  lateral  eminences.  Again,  the  tumor  may  be  cir- 
cumscribed or  isolated.  All  this,  however,  we  repeat,  in  no 
wise  affects  our  prognosis  or  treatment,  save  in  so  far  as  the 
joint  above  or  below  becomes  a  participator  in  the  disease. 

The  horses  especially  disposed  to  ringbone  are  those  that 
have  short,  upright  pasterns,  and  from  their  low  breeding  are 
coarse  and  fieshy -legged,  the  bone  of  such  horses  being  more 
disposed  to  exostosis  in  general.  When  a  fine,  high-bred 
horse  happens  to  have  a  ringbone  we  may  conclude  it  to  pro- 
ceed from  some  accident,  rather  than  from  any  natural  fault 
or  predisposition. 

The  causes  of  ringbone  may  be  said  to  be  three  kinds — 
hereditary,  structural  and  incidental.  Ringbones  are  not  so 
common  as  formerly,  for  the  very  good  reason  that  no  astute 
and  careful  breeder  will  select  a  mare  for  breeding  purposes 
that  is  afflicted  with  ringbone,  and  his  choice  of  a  stallion 
will  be  the  one  that  is  absolutely  free  from  blemishes.  "  The 
ringbone  is  developed  io  very  many  instances  from  hereditary 
origin,  though  it  is  usually  occasioned  by  a  strain  taken  in 
curveting,  rounding  turns  and  violent  galloping  or  racing." 
That  form,  as  well  as  breed,  is  concerned  in  the  production 
oi  ringbone  we  have  sufficient  living  demonstrations.  A 
coarse  or  half-bred,  fieshy  or  long-legged  horse,  with  short  and 
upright  pasterns,  is,  we  have  observed,  the  ordinary  subject 
of  the  disease,  and  there  exist  satisfactory  reasons  why  we 
shonld  expect  him  to  be  so.  The  pasterns  and  coffin  bones 
constitute  the  nethermost  parts,  the  pedestals  of  the  columns 
of  bones  composing  the  limbs,  and,  being  so,  they  receive  the 
entire  weight  and  force  transmitted  from  above.  The  pastern 
when  long  and  oblique  in  position  receives  the  superincum- 
bent weignt  in  such  an  indirect  line  that,  bending  toward  the 
ground  with  the  fetlock,  nothing  like  jar  or  concussion  fol- 
lows. The  very  reverse  of  this,  however,  is  likely  to  happen 
every  time  the  foot  of  a  limb  having  a  short  and  upright 
pastern  comes  to  the  ground. 

In  it,  instead  of  the  weight  descending  obliquely  upon  the 
re6amoids,  and  the  fetlock  bending  therewith,  it  descends 
direct,  or  nearly  so,  upon  the  pastern,  making  this  bone  en- 
tirely dependent  upon  the  bone  beneath  it,  the  coffin  bone,  for 
counteracting  spring,  and  should  anything  occur  to  destroy 
or  demolish  this  spring,  or  to  throw  more  weight  or  weight 
more  suddenly  upon  it  than  it  (the  coffin  bone)  can  counter- 
act, jar  of  the  whole  apparatus  ensues,  and  an  effort  of  nature 
to  strengthen  the  parts  by  investing  them  with  callus  and  os- 
sification is  likely  to  be  the  ultimate  result. 

We  view  ringbone,  disease  though  it  most  assuredly  must 
be  called,  as  frequently  in  young  horses  a  resource  nature 
seems  to  fly  to  when  the  pastern  bones  and  joints  are  found  un- 
equal to  the  exertion  or  efforts  required  of  them,  and  the 
reason  why  ringbone  occurs  oftener  in  the  hind  than  in  the 
fore  limbvill  probably  be  found  in  the  greater  stress  or  strain 
the  hind  pasterns  undergo  in  young  horses,  particularly  in 
such  acts  as  galloping,  jumping,  etc.,  exercise  which  they  are 
likely  to  take  of  their  own  accord  while  running  out  at  pasture. 
Peculiarities  of  breed  and  form,  however,  may  be  looked  upon 
as  predisposing  causes. 

These  may  be  said  to  consist  in  any  acts  or  efforts  of  speed 
or  strength  productive  of  concussion  to  the  bones  of  the  past- 
ern. A  blow  sometimes  produces  ringbone.  In  nature  ring- 
bone is  but  a  species  of  exostosis,  a  bony  tumor  which  in  one 
situation  constitutes  ringbone,  in  another  constitutes  splint, 
in  another  spavin,  yet  the  three  differ  as  well  in  their  origin 
as  in  their  effects.  Ringbone  has  an  external  origin,  and 
though  it  may  from  spreading  interfere  with  the  motion  of  a 
joint,  still  it  does  not,  that  we  know  of,  produce  any  affection 
of  theeynovial  membrane.  Spavin,  on  the  contrary,  seldom 
confines  itself  to  the  external  or  ligamentary  tissues,but  affects 
the  synovial  membrane  as  well,  and  splint  originates  in  the 
very  joint,  the  fibro-cartilaginous,  which  it  afterwards  blocks 
up  and  grows  from. 

"  By  far  the  most  common  seats  of  ossific  disease  are  the 
pasterns,  coronet  and  coffin  bones.  Out  of  150  specimens  we 
have  looked  over  recently,  there  are  five  of  complete  anchy- 
losis of  the  fetlock  joint,  18  of  complete  anchylosis  of  the 
coffin  joint."  The  others  are  simply  encrusted,  and  more  par- 
ticularly around  their  extremities,  with  layers  of  new  bone, 


or  are  variously  deformed  by  exostosis  of  different  shapes, 
many  of  which  are  verv  large,  and  several  of  them  confined 
to  one  side.  Uyon  one  of  the  pastern  bones  a  complete  osse- 
ous ring  is  formed,  the  result  of  ossification  of  the  theca  of 
the  flexor  (perforatas)  tendon.  In  nearly  all  the  disease  ap- 
pears to  have  taken  its  rise  at  and  to  have  spread  from  the 
pastern  joint,  there  beiog  but  few  specimens  in  which  some 
(osseous)  accretion  is  not  to  be  observed  around  the  lower  end 
of  the  pastern  bone  and  the  upper  end  of  the  coronet  bone, 
which  is  the  kind  of  deposition  that  gives  rise  to  ringbone." 

Lameness  is  not  ordinary  consequence  of  riogbooe. 
Whether  th«*  tumor  will  be  productive  of  lameness  or  not 
will  depend  first  upon  the  presence  of  inflammatory  action 
in  it;  secondly  upon  and  tension  it  may  create  in  the  perios- 
teum covering  it;  thirdly,  upon  its  prox'mi'y  to  a  joint  and  i 
consequent  impediment  it  may  offer  to  the  motions  thereof-  . 
Gent-rally  in  young  horses  ringbone  forms  so  gradually  and 
imperceptibly  that  it  is  accompanied  neither  ^y  inflamma- 
tion nor  by  tension.  It  may,  however,  and  frequently  does, 
in  the  course  of  time,  so  increase  and  spread  that  the  pastern 
joint  gets  cramped  and  confined  i"  its  action,  and  ultimately 
becomes  a  fixt  ire,  and  the  consequence  is  lameness  or  some 
approach  thereto,  such  as  familiarly  known  under  the  ap- 
pellation of  ''stiffness." 

In  regard  to  the  treat  nent  of  ringbone,  nothing  short  of 
firiDgwith  the  pointed  iron  aod  blistering  will  afford  any 
relief  whatever.  Unquestionably  the  most  sati  factory  treat- 
ment in  all  cases  to  care  the  lameness  is  neurotomy  (nerv- 
ing.) Tii is  does  not  remove  any  of  the  enlargement,  but  it 
does  the  lameness,  and  in  90  per  cent  of  all  cases^eated  after 
nerving,  the  horse  can  be  put  to  work  in  a  very  short  time, 
while  on  the  other  hand  it  take:  several  weeks.  We  prefer 
thesorgic&l  operation. — Charles  R.  Wood,  V.  S.,  in  Amer-

Death  of  Cuyler  100. 

Upon  last  Thursday,  May  31st,  the  good  Hamblelonian 
horse,  Cuyler,  was  put  to  death,  and  he  died  just  as  game  as 
he  lived,  showing  up  to  the  very  last  moments  that  he  hated 
to  leave  this  life,  giving  to  those  who  stood  around  bim  one 
loving  farewell  look.  The  oldjhorse,  up  to  within  forty-eight 
hours  of  his  death,  appeared  to  be  as  young  in  actions  as  at 
any  time  in  his  life,  and  looked  as  though  he  would  reach  the 
thirty  mile  stone.  Mr.  Tom  James,  bis  owner,  says  he  sus- 
tained an  injury  in  some  way  to  his  rectum  which  caused 
mortification  to  set  in,  and  he  found  it  painfully  necessary  to 
put  this  good  son  of  Hambletonian  10  to  death,  after  advising 
carefully  with  the  best  veterinarians  of  the  city.  The  old 
horse  seemed  to  know  what  was  going  to  be  done,  and  in  a 
manner  seriously  objected  to  being  put  out  of  the  way.  Chloro- 
form was  administered  after  6ome  little  fighting  and  he  grad- 
ally  succumbed  to  its  soothing  effects  and  passed  out  of  exis- 
tence. He  was  bred  by  Charles  Backman,  Stoney  Frrd,  N. 
Y.,  and  was  the  son  of  Hambletonian  lOand  Gray  Rose,  and 
was  foaled  May  13,  1868,  being  at  the  time  of  his  death  a 
little  over  twenty-six  years  of  age.  His  breeder  sold  him  to 
J,  C.  McFerran,  Louisville,  Ky.,  where  he  remained  for  some 
time,  then  Dassed  to  John  H.  Straits,  Parkville,  N.  Y.,  re- 
maining there  for  two  or  three  years,and  about  four  years  ago 
was  sold  to  Tom  James,  of  Des  Moines,  Iowa,  who  was  his 
last  master.  He  has  left  a  good  family,  one  that  will  always 
keep  his  memory  green.  To  his  credit  stands  fourteen  trot- 
ters and  no  pacers;  thirteen  sires  of  nineteen  trotters  and  one 
pacer;  twenty-five  dams  of  twenty-nine  trotters  and  three 
pacers,  and  to  which  from  time  to  time  numerous  additions 
will  be  made  for  several  years,  as  he  has  many  descendants  in 
training,  and  many  more  that  will  be  as  they  get  old  enough 
in  all  branches.  He  has  been  most  successful  through  his 
daughters,  giving  us  such  horses  as  Patron,  2:141 ;  Clara  D., 
2:14^;  Ponce  de  Leon,  2:10,  and  Patronage,  the  sire  of  Alix, 
2:06},  etc.  His  fastest  performer  is  Elvira,  2:13i,  which, 
at  the  time  she  got  it,  was  the  top  notch  for  her  age  and  day. 
Since  coming  to  Des  Moines  he  has  done  a  good  business, 
leaving,  in  the  four  years,  nearly  one  hundred  good  fillies, 
and  but  very  few  colts.  The  lact  of  his  getting  more  fillies 
than  colts  is  an  important  one,  and  which  io  time  will  prove 
a  very  good  boon  to  Ioira,for  through  this  channel  his  greatest 
strength  seems  to  run,  and  in  time  may  produce  another  Pat- 
ron or  Patronage.  During  his  life  he  brought  into  circula- 
tion a  good  many  dollars  and  gave  employment  to  a  good 
many  men,  and  whi'e  he  had  arrived  at  an  age  when  a  natural 
death  might  have  occured  at  any  time,  he  might  have  lived 
several  years  longer  and  done  much  good  had  not  the  accident 
happened. — Iowa  Turf. 

Races  at  "Vallejo  Track. 

The  Solano  Agricultural  and  Speed  Association  had  a  large 
crowd  of  people  at  the  track  on  Decoration  Day  to  witness  a 
very  interesting  programme  of  races,  made  up  of  local  horses 
between  Vallejo  and  Benicia. 

The  first  race  was  for  Beoecia  horses,  viz. :  B.  Dealin'e 
Delia  H.,  K.  Chisholm's  b  m  Nellie,  Matt  Smith's  Kitty  S. 

Kitty  S.  took  the  first  heat  in  2:37*,  the  second  in  2:38  and 
the  third  in  2:37},  winning  the  race  and  money.  Delia  H. 
was  second  in  all  three  heats. 

The  second  race  was  for  Vallejo  roadsters,  viz.:  W.  J. 
Evatt's  Frank  F.,  E.  Lynch's  bay  mare,  E.  Reinquin's  Hay 
See,  John  Welsh's  Casino,  Fred  Walter's  Black  Bess,  Chas. 
Collin's  gray  mare. 

A  protest  was  entered  against  Collins'  gray  mare,  and  she 
was  roled  out,  being  too  speedy  for  the  race. 

The  first  heat  was  trotted  in  3:03,  the  horses  coming  in  in 
the  following  order:  Black  Bess,  bay  mare,  Hayseed,  Frank 
F.  and  Cassino.  Distance  was  waived,  and  all  started  again 
in  the  second  heat.  Black  Bess  won  in  3:01  J,  with  no  change 
in  the  position  of  the  others.  The  third  heat  was  also  won 
by  Black  Bess  in  3:09T,  Casino  bringing  up  the  rear  as  usual. 

The  third  race  was  the  most  excitioe  of  the  day.  It  was 
between  the  following  horses:  Wm.  Pressey's  Budd,  Tbos. 
McGill's  Scotty,  V.  V.  Harrier's  Starr. 

Starr  was  given  the  first  heat  in  2:43*.  Scotty's  nose 
crossed  the  wire  first,  but  he  made  half  a  dozen  skips  on  the 
track,  which  went  against  bim. 

The  second  beat  was  also  won  by  Starr  in  the  good  time  of 
2:40,  Scotty  being  two  lengths  behind. 

The  third  heat  was  a  hot  one,  and  was  won  by  Scotty  in 
2:38.  Starr  was  second.  Scotty  also  won  the  fourth  beat  in 
2:41,  but  was  played  out  in  the  fifth,  which  was  won  by  Starr 
in  2:48. 

The  Association  is  very  well  satisfied  with  the  result. 
Many  Beoiciales  were  present. — Vallejo  Chronicle. 


The  Saxe-Welmer  Cross. 


It  is  said  that  the  Village  Farm  team  Pansy  and  Cora 
trotted  a  half  in  1:10  to  pole  the  first  time  hitched  double. 
Both  are  by  Almont  Jr.  (2:26),  the  champion  pole-team  sire 
of  the  world.  Almont  Jr.  is  now  the  leading  son  of  Almont 
as  a  sire  of  2:30  performers.  It  is  a  singular  fact  that  neither 
his  dam  nor  the  sire  of  his  dam  could  be  registered  as  stand- 
ard until  he  made  his  dam  standard  by  his  own  performance. 
Not  a  siogle  one  of  all  his  maternal  ancestors  were  standard 
by  breeding,  and  the  only  one  of  his  dam's  ancestors  that  is 
standard  to-day  is  Vermont  Black  Hawk,  which  got  Blood's 
Black  Hawk,  sire  of  Almont  Jr.'s  dam.  When  animals  that 
are  not  standard-bred  prove  so  far  superior  as  producers  to 
those  bred  deeply  in  trotting  lines  as  Almont  Jr.  has,  it 
should  lead  breeders  to  investigate  the  causes  which  contri- 
buted to  such  a  result. 

Undoubtedly  one  of  the  causes  in  this  case  is  that  he  has 
been  mated  with  an  excellent  class  of  patrons,  but  so  have 
some  of  the  other  sons  of  Almont  that  were  from  dams  with 
fashionable  trotting  pedigrees.  To  an  unprejudiced  mind 
the  thought  will  be  presented  that  it  is  possible  the  superior- 
ity of  this  mare  Maggie  Gaines  may  be  doe  to  the  fact  that 
she  has  a  speed  inheritance  that  was  probably  not  contamin- 
ated bv  any  retarding  influences  from  a  cold  cart  horse  cross 
through  the  sire  of  her  dam,  Boner's  Saxe  Weimer,  a  thor- 
oughbred son  of  Saxe  Weimer,  by  Sir  Archy. 

This  Saxe  Weimer  was  full  brother  to  Kosciusko,  sire  of 
Woodford,  which  got  the  great  mare  Woodbine  (dam  of 
Wedgewood,  2:19,  and  Woodford  Mambrino,  2:21A),  and  also 
got  the  dam  of  the  successful  broodmare  sire  Brignoli  (2:29|j. 
The  famous  broodmare  Dolly  (dam  of  Director,  2:17,  Thorn- 
dale,  2:22£,  and  Onward,  2:25})  gets  a  double  Saxe  Weimer 
cross  through  her  dam,  Fanny,  which  was  by  Ben  Franklin, 
out  of  Nance,  by  Saxe  Weimer.  The  dam  of  Ben  Franklin 
was  bv  Johnson's  Copperbottom,  out  of  another  daughter  of 
Saxe  Weimer.  It  is  not  improbable  that  part  of  the  credit  of 
the  superiority  of  Dollj  and  Maggie  Gaines  as  producers  of 
animals  with  ability  to  perpetuate  speed  may  have  been  due 
to  this  Saxe  Weimer  cross. — American  Horse  Breeder. 


Familiarizing  Horses  with  Strange  Sights. 

Horses,  above  all  other  animals,  says  a  New  Jersey  paper 
are  conscious  of  terror  and  subject  to  the  pangs  of  fear.  The 
sufferings  of  some  through  the  influence  of  fear  woulc  awaken 
pity  in  the  most  callous  driver.  This  susceptibility  to  fear 
indicates  consciousness  and  shows  the  remarkable  nervous 
organization  of  the  sn'mal,  rendering  him  akin  to  the  hu. 
man  in  his  sensibilities  and  sensations. 

The  first  thing  to  do  with  a  borse  strange  to  city  scenes  is 
to  place  bim  in  a  position  to  notice  what  is  going  on  around 
bim  without  forcing  him  upon  objects  which  he  especially 
dreads.  Take  the  electric  cars  for  instance;  if  your  horse 
shows  unusual  uneasiness  with  respect  to  them,  manage  to 
approach  them  across  the  street  and  at  a  distance  let  him 
stand  and  look  at  them.  He  will  examine  them  closely  and 
with  an  intelligence  that  is  marvelous.  If  he  manifests  un- 
due anxiety,  reassure  and  soothe  him  with  your  voice.  The 
next  time  drive  a  little  closer  and  repeat  the  soothing  assur- 
ances.. Nothing  is  so  quieting  and  reassuring  as  the  firm, 
yt  gentle  tones  of  the  voice  to  a  terrified  horse  In  a  very 
short  time  you  will  be  able  to  approach  an  electric  car  with- 
in six  fee*  without  apprehension.  The  horse  has  learned 
that  the  object  will  not  hurt  him  and  that  is  all  be  cares  for. 

And  so  with  any  other  object  which  excites  his  fear.  A 
firm  hand,  a  cool  head  and  a  soothing  word  will  accomplish 
more  than  punishment  under  any  and  all  circumstances. 
None  but  a  fool  punishes  a  horse  for  being  afraid.  A  man 
that  will  whip  a  horse  excited  bv  fear  should  be  forever 
debarred  from  handling  a  horse  in  any  way.  Whips  are 
undoubtedly  good  things  in  their  places.  They  come  in  well 
with  a  constitutionally  lazy  horse.  They  are  very  effective 
sometimes  when  horses  are  mischievous.  A  horse  had  a 
habit  as  soon  as  his  bedding  was  put  under  him  of  scraping  it 
all  out  of  the  stall  behind  him.  He  was  watched,  and  at 
every  attempt  a  vigorous  application  of  the  whip  to  his  rear 
was  made.  In  two  nights  he  was  thoroughly  broken  of  the 
trick.  If  the  personal  safety  of  the  occupants  of  a  vehicle  is 
endangered  through  a  horse  backing  or  turning  around,  use 
the  whip  vigorously,  it  will  divert  his  attention.  Never  use 
the  whip  without  warning,  and  never  use  it  to  cure  a  horse 
of  fright;  if  you  do,  between  the  whipping  and  the  fear  he 
will  soon  become  unmanageable  when  he  meets  the  object  be 
dreads. 

The  Tuberculosis  Law. 


After  having  kept  it  in  hands  several  weeks  Governor 
Flower,  of  New  York,  has  signed  this  bill,  which  appro-' 
priates  $30,000  to  pay  claims  for  cattle  affected  wtth  tuber- 
culosis or  horses  withjglanders  which  have  been  slaughtered 
by  order  of  the  proper  authorities. 

The  bill  provides  that  in  all  cases  where  cattle  or  horses 
are  to  be  killed  by  order  of  the  State,  the  State  Comptroller 
shalldesignate  one  person  and  the  owner  of  the  animal  one 
person  who  shall  appraise  the  value  of  the  animal  to  be 
killed  at  its  sound  value.  In  case  of  a  disagreement,  a  third 
appraiser  shall  be  appointed  by  the  two  and  the  resulting  ap- 
praisal shall  be  final.  No  single  unregistered  animal  shaM 
be  appraised  at  more  than  $60  and  no  horse  affected  with 
glanders  shall  be  appraised  at  more  than  $50.  When  a  regis- 
tered tuberculosis  animal  is  killed  not  more  than  $60  dam- 
ages shall  be  awarded  and  $25  in  the  case  of  an  unregistered 
animal.  If  on  examination  an  antmil  killed  for  tuberculosis

Bellfouader  as  a  Trotting  Sire. 


Since  tbe  Hackney  became  popular  with  quite  a  number 
of  wealthy  breeders  in  and  about  a  few  of  our  largest  cities, 
there  It  is  been  a  very  noticeable  tendency  on  the  part  of  the 
Hackney  advocates  to  clciin  altogether  too  much  prominence 
and  influence  for  the  Bellfounder  cross  in  the  American  trot- 
ter. To  those  who  look  superficially  the  fact  that  a  particu- 
lar cross  occurs  in  numerous  trotting  pedigrees,  even  though 
invariably  remote,  is  to  their  minds  real  evidence  of  its  great 
superiority,  forgetting  that  in  a  remote  generation  the  num- 
ber of  ancestors  becomes  so  great  as  to  include  practically  all 
of  th  tt  period  whose  lines  have  been  continued. 

B  i:U  in  England  and  in  America  the  amount  of  credit  for 
the  speed  of  the  American  trotter  that  has  been  given  to  im- 
ported Bellfounder  has  been  most  absurdly  beyond  what  is 
really  due.  Any  horse  that  was  given  a  fairly  good  oppor- 
tunity and  proved  an  absolute  failure  as  a  sire  of  trotters, 
whose  sons  were  also  all  failures  and  from  which  nothing 
worth  mentioning  has  come  in  even  the  more  remote  gener- 
ations in  the  direct  male  line,  really  deserves  no  credit  what- 
ever, or  certainly  but  very  tittle,  if  descendants  from  his 
daughters,  particularly  if  a  few  generations  removed,  have 
proven  successful  sires.  Most  of  those  who  have  made  such 
unreasonable  claims  for  the  Bellfounder  cross  have  been  such 
as  are  now  interested  in  the  Hackneys,  or  persons  no  one 
would  ever  think  of  quoting  on  that  which  pertains  to  trot- 
ters, or  placing  much  weight  on  their  assertions;  but  quite 
re  :-mtly  a  statement  was  published  from  the  well-known  turf 
writer,  "  Griffin,"  to  the  effect  that,  aside  from  Hambletonian, 
Bellfounder  produced  more  speed  than  Abdallah 

Xow  on  matters  pertaining  to  records  "  Griffin"  is  gener- 
ally quite  accurate,  but  this  is  the  worst  break  we  haveof  late 
known  any  writer  to  make.  Everyone  who  has  ever  care- 
fully investigated  the  matter  knows  that  while  Bellfounder 
w.u  kept  for  service  in  sections  the  most  favorable  at  that 
lime  in  the  whole  country  for  getting  trotters,  and  was  quite 
liberally  pitrooized,  he  proved  a  complete  failure.  There 
are  those  still  living  who  remember  him  and  plenty  of  others 
who  are  perfectly  familiar  with  his  history,  and  they,  with- 
out exception,  are  well  aware  of  the  fact  that  he  got  no  trot- 
ters aud  never  even  acquired  a  reputation  as  even  a  success- 
ful sire  of  road  horses,  though  it  is  well  known  that  not  only 


as  for  twenty  years  they  were  doing  service  at  the  same  time 

and  quite  nearly  in  the  same  localities,  so  that  though  one 
did  live  longer  than  thejother  they  were  practically  contem- 
poraries. 

There  is  no  well-known  horse  within  twenty  years  of  Bell- 
founder's  time  that  has  so  few  trotters  tracing  to  him  in  the 
direct  male  line  or  that  accomplished  much  less  as  regards 
any  of  the  generations  close  enough  to  entitle  him  to  real 
credit;  consequently,  if  theories  and  assertions  were  shapen 
more  in  accordance  with  the  actual  facts  there  would  be  no 
more  attempts  to  make  out  imported  Bellfounder  a  relatively 
great  trotting  sire  or  progenitoa. — "Vision,"  in  American 
Horse  Breeder. 


A  Treat  in  Store  for  Horsemen. 


Abdallah,  but  his  sire  Mambrino  and  numerous  other  sons  of 
imported  Messenger,  were  among  the  foremost  horses  of  their 
Any  as  sires  of  trotters,  and  thev  also  acquired  particular 
reputation  as  sires  of  fast  and  superior  roadsters. 

As  "Griffin"  is  the  nominal  author  of  "Chester's  Complete 
Trotingand  Tracing  Record,"  we  will  for  the  moment  make 
a  comparison  of  Bellfounder  and  Abdallah,  respectively,  as 
sires  of  trotters  as  shown  by  that  excellent  work.  By  referr- 
ing to  the  index  of  sires  it  will  be  observed  that  here  im- 
ported Bellfounder  is  not  credited  with  having  sired  even  a 
three  minute  trotter  or  one  that  was  fast  enough  to  compete 
in  any  race,  and  that  of  the  many  sans  of  Bellfounder  the 
only  one  that  appears  in  that  work  as  a  sire  isRelPs  Bell- 
founder, the  sire  of  Little  Rachel,  (2:46 A),  though  2:50  is  her 
best  record  in  a  winning  race. 

Oj  the  other  hand,  23  trotters  are  there  credited  to  Ab- 
dallah, including  a  few  champions  and  several  very  noted 
loig  distance  performers.  This  makes  a  very  fair  compar- 
ison of  the  relative  value  of  the  two  horses  as  trotting  sires, 
namely  of  23  to  nothing,  in  favor  of  Abdallah,  and  the  com- 
parison in  the  next  generation  is  but  little  more  favorable  to 
the  Bellfounder  branch,  as  seven  sons  of  Abdallah  are  given 
in  i h  it  index  as  sires  against  the  one  mentioned  above  by 
Bellfounder. 

As  regards  Hambletonian  himself,  carrying  «s  he  does,  just 
twice  as  much  of  the  blood  of  Abdallah  as  of  imported  Bell- 
founder. it  is  fair  to  nresume,  from  that  fact  alone,  that  Ab- 
dallah hid  a  far  greater  influence  in  imparting  to  him  those 
remarkable  characteristics  as  a  sire  and  trotting  progenitor. 

It  is  safe  to  say  that  there  was  not  a  single  horse  of  Bell- 
founder's  day  that  was  given  anything  like  as  good  an  op- 
portunity for  siring  trotters  and  road  horses  that  proved  so 
fl  it  a  f  u'ure,  and  the  same  was  true  of  nearly  all  his  sons. 
His  very  btst  son  was  Brown's  Bellfounder,  whose  dam,  Lady 
Alport,  was  a  thoroughbred  daughter  of  Mambrino,  the  sire 
of  Abdallah,  a  mare  that  was  so  purely  bred  and  individually 
good  that  she  ought  to  have  produced  fully  as  good  a  sire  by 
almost  any  farm  horse  of  that  day. 

1 1  is  a  fairly  well-known  principle  of  heredity  that  other 
things  being  equal  the  relative  influence  of  sire  and  dam  is 
approximately  that  of  about  five  to  three  in  favor  of  the  sire, 
consequently,  many  comparatively  worthless  as  trotting  sires 
have  on  account  of  the  high  breeding  of  tbe  mares  bred  to 
.them  and  the  superiority  of  the  i.tallion  to  which  their  daugh- 
ter* have  been  bred,  ultimately  proven  fairly  successful  as 
the  sires  of  dams,  more  so  in  some  instances  than  others 
greatly  their  superiors,  but  this  was  not  the  case  with  Bell- 
founder as  compared  with  Abdallah. 

The  daughters  of  imported  Bellfounder  produced  not  a 
hingle  really  fast  trotter  or  great  sire,  and  only  one  2:30  per- 
former is  credited  to  them,  namely,  Harry  Clay,  and  he  was 
very  far  from  a  first-class  performer,  while  considering  his 
many  seanons  in  the  stud  he  ranks  very  near  a  failure  as  a 
hire.  On  the  other  hand,  daughters  of  Abdallah  produced 
seven  trotteru  with  records  from  2: 14  to  2:30,  and  while  there 
are  two  sin  a  from  daughters  of  Bellfounder  there  are  thirty 
from  daughters  of  Abdallah,  and  on  every  basts  where  a  com- 
parison in  corresponding  generations  is  made  the  result  is 
nearly  or  quits  U  great  in  favor  of  Abdallah. 

Where  there  is  no  particular  effort  to  keep  the  blood  lines 
exclusive  they  become  ho  mixed  that  in  from  ten  to  twenty 
generations  not  only  nearly  every  fast  trotter,  but  also  nearly 
every  no-account  scrub,  carries  at  least  a  trace  of  the  blood, 
and  it  is  then  very  absurd  to  give  any  great  amount  of  credit 
to  any  such  remote  ancestor,  particularly  if  he  proved  a  fail- 
ure in  the  near  generations.  In  a  latter  reference  to  this 
matter  "  <  Iriflin  "  states  that  "  he  cannot  concede  much  credit 
to  Abdallab,  outside  of  Hambletonian,  when  wiih  all  his 
chances  he  only  got  two  with  records  of  2:30  and  one  with  a 
record  of  2:2"."  If  he  will  stop  to  think  a  moment  it  may 
powiblyjoccur  to  him  that  even  that  small  number  was  suffi- 
cient to  make  Abdatlsfa  then  outrank  every  other  trotting 
sire  living  or  dead,  and  championship  implies  relative  great- 
ness, whether  based  on  no  greater  number  of  2:30  performers 
than  three  lr  itiers  and  one  pocer,  or  whether,  as  at  the  pres- 
ent lint",  n  '>■  Inrge  number  would  be  required.  Further- 
more, his  clai  i  of  Bellfounder' j  antedating  Abdallah  by,  as 
he  states,  "  about  one  horse  generation  "  is  not  quite  the  case, 


An  Eastern  paper  reports  that  John  H.  Wallace  is  steadily 
working  on  a  book  on  the  trotting  horse  that  will  be  the 
"greatest  effort  of  h's  life."  This  will  be  welcome  news  to 
all  breeders  and  students  of  breeding,  for  there  is  certainly 
no  man  living  who  has,  we  might  say,  a  better  right  to  write 
a  book  on  the  subject  than  Mr.  Wallace,  and  none  from 
whose  pen  a  book  would  be  more  popularly  welcomed.  While 
in  it  nothing  on  the  practical  side  of  horsemanship  may  be 
expected,  Mr.  Wallace's  long  devotion  to  research  and  com- 
pilation in  the  field  of  trotting  genealogy  and  history,  hi« 
persistent  and  devo.ed  study  of  the  different  theses  of  breed- 
ing advanced  or  suggested  by  the  different  recognized  author- 
ities on  hereditary,  and  his  application  of  what  he  coi  -ceived 
to  be  most  logical  deductions  from  these  to  a  specific  branch 
of  breeding,  viz.,  for  trotting  speed,  will  make  his  promised 
work  one  of  great  interest  and  value,  even  to  those  who  may 
not  agree  with  his  conclusions  and  with  what  he  will  un- 
doubtedly lay  down,  with  the  inflexibility  of  his  nature  and 
the  positiveness  of  his  theories  as  the  infallible  principles  of 
breeding  the  trotter.  The  purpose  to  write  the  book  referred 
to  is  no  new  one;  indeed  the  late  compiler  of  the  Register  be- 
gan to  collate  matter  for  the  work  seven  or  eight  years  ago, 
and  several  chapters  were  written  as  early  as  1888.  But  in 
recent  years  Mr.  Wallace  has  not  been  *n  industrious,  and 
never  was  a  rapid  worker;  but  now  t.«at  the  promise  is  inti- 
mated that  the  matter  is  to  be  pushed  we  hope  t-»at  it  will 
not  be  like  Mr.  Dick's  famous  life  of  Charles  I.  (which  in  a 
life-time  that  good-n*tured,  kite-flying  creation  of  Dick's 
could  never  get  beyond  the  third  chapter)  but  will  be  really 
co.npleted  and  published  in  four  or  five  years.  The  public 
should  not  be  impatient  for  it  takes  time  to  write  works 
intended  "not  for  a  day,  but  for  all  time."  Thomas 
Carlyle  was  for  fourteen  years  writing  his  History  of 
Frederick,  the  Gr-*at,  and  many  other  great  authors 
have  taken  many  more  years  than  have  passed  over  Mr. 
Mr.  Wallace's  head  since  he  penned  the  first  chapter  of  his 
great  book  on  the  trotter.  If  our  venerable  and  esteemed 
friend  might  not  think  it  presumptive  we  would  modestly  of- 
fer a  suggestion.  He  very  naturally  long  cherished  the  idea. 
and  wished  the  consummation,  that  Wallace's  Monthly  should 
be  his  monument,  as  the  New  York  Tribune  is  Greeley's.  He 
planned  assiduously,  if  not  shrewdly,  to  place  it  in  hands 
that  would  carry  it  on  after  he  had  gone  in  the  lines  that  his 
policy  had  indicated.  But  "the  best  laid  plans,  etc." — the 
Monthly  passed  into  what  he  must  have  considered  alien 
hands,  and  in  its  latter  days  it  must  in  truth  be  said  that  it 
would  hardly  "do  "as  an  enduring  literary  monument  for 
anybody.  When  Gen.  Benjamin  F.  Butler  essayed  to  leave 
a  monument  which  would  awake  the  corridors  of  time  forever 
with  echoes  of  the  name  of  the  Military  Governor  of  New 
Orleans  he  did  not  build  a  marble  or  granite  sarcophagus, 
but  he  wrote  a  book  into  every  page  of  which  he  interjected 
his  personality,  his  beliefs,  his  disbeliefs,  his  likes  and  his 
dislikes,  his  friendships  and  his  hatreds,  making  the  whole 
an  admirable  epitome  of  the  individualism  of  the  man,  and 
most  appropriately  called  it  '*  Butler's  Book."  Now,  if  Mr. 
Wallace  desires,  as  naturally  he  should,  a  literary  monument, 
he  should  follow  the  example  of  Butler,  whom  in  certain 
traits  he  resembles.  In  any  event  his  book  will  bear  the 
stamp  of  his  individuality,  for  that  is  irrepressible,  and  we 
hope  he  will  give  it  full  rein  and  call  the  Completed  whole 
"Wallace's  Book."  Then  we  should  have  at  once  a  history 
of  trotting  blood,  a  treatise  on  the  philosophy  of  breeding 
and  a  constant  reflex  of  and  perpetual  monument  to  the 
founder  of  the  Trotting  Register.  We  wish  the  author  long 
life  and  health  and  dispatch  and  success  in  the  preparation 
of  the  crowning  work  of  his  long  career  in  the  field  of  trotting 
literature. 

To  Prevent  Forging:, 

In  a  recent  issue  I  noticed  an  inquiry  of  how  to  prevent 
overreaching.  Overreaching  is  what  we  call  the  action  when 
a  horse  pulls  his  shoes  off.  I  judge  by  the  way  the  article 
reads  that  the  horse  forges,  as  we  call  it.  Probably  the  veter- 
inary surgeon  would  give  it  some  Latin  name  which  most  of 
us,  and  perhaps  he  himself,  could  not  understand.  Before  I 
saw  this  article  of  E.  H.  D.'s  I  wrote  a  short  article  on  forg- 
ing, with  a  few  others,  and  as  the  inquiry  was  made  I  thought 
it  better  to  make  it  a  little  more  scientific. 

Sometimes  young  horses  between  three  and  four  years  old 
grow  one  end  each  year,  and  it  may  happen  to  be  the  hind 
end  that  grows  the  longest  and  thus  causes  the  horse  to  forge, 
although  matured  horses  forge  on  account  of  being  higher  in 
the  hind  limbs  than  forward.  To  remedy  this  evil  make  the 
shoes  as  follows:  Take  lxlA  inch  shoe  shape,  thicken  the 
heels  five-eighthR  of  an  inch  thick  before  you  bend  the  iron, 
draw  the  toe  as  far  back  as  the  ball  of  the  foot  or  the  center 
of  the  quarters  to  three-eighths  by  live-eighths  inches,  convex 
around  the  toe  and  roll  or  drop  the  toe  the  same  as  a  drop 
bar. 

If  your  shoer  can't  make  a  shoe  have  him  lake  machine 
shoes  and  turn  the  toes  towards  he  heel  of  the  foot  and  heel 
of  the  shoe  to  the  toe  of  the  foot,  thin  the  part  of  the  shoe 
that  you  put  to  the  toe  and  convex  the  inside  of  the  web.  If 
your  shoer  is  a  good  turner  have  him  make  a  drop  crease  or 
convex  shoe,  heavy  at  the  heels  with  a  drop  toe. 

The  hind  shoes  must  be  light  and  twice  as  thick  at  the  toe 
as  at  the  heeU,  and  leave  the  hind  shoes  full  to  the  toe. 
Your  horse  strikes  the  toe  when  the  front  foot  is  elevated 
from  tbe  ground  instead  of  the  heels,  although  he  might  rap 
the  heels  once  in  a  while.  Keep  your  horse  checked  up  pretty 
well,  and  do  not  drive  him  on  a  loose  rein. — J.  H.,  in  Horse 
Breeder. 


Polo  in  Ohio  ago. 

Four  men  play  on  each  side  during  a  match  game,  but  in 
practice  play  or  on  ordinary  occasions  this  number  maybe 
increased.  The  mallets  used  are  about  six  feet  long,  with  a 
handle  of  bamboo,  furnished  at  the  end  with  a  loop  of  leather. 
The  head  of  the  mallet  is  about  eight  inches  long,  somewhat 
thinner  and  longer  than  that  used  in  croquet.  Saddles  used 
are  of  what  is  known  as  the  "  polo  pattern,"  which  is  the 
regular  English  style  of  saddle,  somewhat  stronger  than  is 
used  for  ordinary  riding,  and  about  the  same  that  is  used  for 
steeplechases.  Nearly  all  of  the  equipment  is  imported  from 
England  owing  to  the  difficulty  of  securing  just  what  is  wanted 
here.  A  set  of  rules  has  been  adopted,  which  is  as  follows, 
with  the  explanatory  idea  prefaced  that  the  underlying  prin- 
ciple of  the  game  is  the  same  as  that  of  a  football  or  lacrosse 
or  the  driving  of  a  ball  into  the  camp  of  the  enemy : 

1.  The  height  of  ponies  must  not  exceed  14  hands  1  inch, 
and  no  ponies  showing  vice  are  to  be  allowed  in  the  game. 

2.  The  goals  to  be  not  less  than  250  yards  apart,  and  each 
goal  to  be  eight  yards  wide.  The  field  to  be  about  150  yards 
wide. 

3.  Ine  size  of  the  balls  to  be  three  inches  in  diameter. 

4.  Each  side  shall  nominate  an  umpire,  unless  it  be 
mutually  agreed  to  play  with  one  instead  of  two,  and  his  (or 
their)  decision  shall  be  final.  In  important  matches,  in  ad- 
dition to  the  umpires,  a  referee  may  be  appoiuted,  whose  de- 
cision shall  be  Inal, 

5.  In  all  matches  for  cups  and  prizes  the  number  of  plav- 
ers  contending  to  be  limited  to  four  a  side. 

6.  The  duration  of  games  in  matches  shall  be  one  hour 
and  ten  minutes,  an  interval  of  five  minutes  between  each 
twenty  minutes  of  play  being  deducted  from  the  above ;  or 
four  quarters,  with  intervals  of  three  minutes. 

7.  In  cup  competitions  tbe  game  in  case  of  a  tie  must  be 
played  on  till  one  side  obtains  a  goal. 

S.    The  side  that  makes  most  goals  win  the  game. 

9.  The  game  commences  on  both  sides  taking  up  their 
position  in  the  middle  of  the  ground  and  the  manager  throw- 
ing the  ball  in  the  center. 

10.  If  a  ball  is  hit  above  the  top  of  the  goal  posts,  but  in 
the  opinion  of  the  umpire,  though,  it  shall  be  considered  a 
goal. 

11.  If  a  ball  be  hit  behind  the  back  line  by  one  of  the 
opposite  side  it  shall  be  hit  off  by  one  of  the  side  whose  line 
it  is  from  a  spot  as  near  as  possible  to  where  it  crossed  the 
line.  None  of  the  attacking  side  shall  be  within  thirty  yards 
of  the  back  line  until  the  ball  is  hit  off.  If,  however,  the  ball 
be  hit  behind  the  back  line  by  one  of  the  players  whose  line 
it  is  (for  safety  or  otherwise),  they  shall  hit  it  off  as  near  as 
possible  to  where  it  crossed  the  line  and  all  the  defending  side 
shall  remain  behind  the  ball  until  it  is  hit  off,  the  attacking 
side  being  f.-ee  to  place  themselves  as  they  choose. 

12.  When  a  ball  is  hit  out  of  bounds  it  must  be  thrown  into 
the  playground  by  the  umpire. 

13.  A  player  may  ride  out  an  antagonist  or  interpose  his 
pony  before  his  antagonist  so  as  to  prevent  the  latter  reaching 
the  ball,  but  he  mav  not  cross  another  player  in  possession  of 
the  ball  excepting  at  such  a  distance  as  to  avoid  all  risk  of 
collision. 

If  two  players  are  riding  from  different  directions  to  hit 
the  ball,  and  a  collision  oppears  probable,  then  the  player  in 
possession  of  the  ball — i.  e.,  he  who  has  hit  the  ball,  or  who 
is  coming  in  the  direction  from  which  the  ball  was  last  hit — 
must  be  given  way  to. 

14.  It  is  not  allowed  to  hook  an  adversary's  stick. 

15.  No  player  who  is  offside  shall  hit  the  ball,  or  shall  in 
any  way  prevent  the  opposite  side  from  reaching  or  hitting 
the  ball. 

A  player  is  "off  side"  when,  at  the  time  of  the  ball  being 
hit,  he  has  no  one  of  the  opposite  side  between  him  and  the 
adversaries'  goal  line  or  behind  that  goal  line,  and  he  is 
neither  in  possession  of  the  ball  nor  behind  one  of  his  own 
side  who  is  in  possession  of  the  ball.  The  position  of  the 
players  is  to  be  considered  at  the  time  the  ball  was  last  hit — 
i.  e.,  a  player,  if  on  side  when  the  ball  was  last  hit,  remains 
on  side  until  it  is  hit  again.

Dividing  the  Moneys. 

A  new  method  of  dividing  purses  offered  for  trotters  and 
pacers  will  be  tried  this  season.     Hitherto  the  chief  objection 
raised  against  innovations  in  this  line  has  been  that  the  exist- 
ing general  division  of  the   purse  into   four  portions   had 
become  a  recognized  and  accepted  part  of  harness  racing,  and 
to  upset  or  radically  change  it  would  result  in  shortened 
entry  lists.    The  new  plan,  however,  preserves  the  old  mode 
almost  in  its  entirety,  and  at  the  same  time  introduces  novel 
features,  some  of  which  at  least  are  likely  to  be  approved, 
says  the  Horseman.     Whether  or  not  the  whole  will  become 
popular  remains  to  be  seen.   Briefly  stated,  the  whole  innova- 
tion consists  in  the  subdivision  of  the  purse  into  five  moneys, 
the  first  horse  receiving  fifty,  the  second  twenty,  the  third 
fifteen,  the  fourth  ten  and  the  fifth  five  per  cent,  of  the  whole 
amount.    The  conditions  of  entry  to  the  races  in  which  the 
purses  will  be  thus  distributed  differ  also  from  those  now  gen- 
erally enforced.    The  entrance  fee  is  seven  and  one-half  per 
cent.,  to  be  paid  :  five  per  cent,  to  name,  two  and  a  half  per 
cent,  additional  to  start.    Substitution  is  permitted  up  to  the 
last  moment,  any  horse  eligible  on  the  day  before  the  race 
being  allowed  to  compete.     Thus  a  driver  may  name  one 
horse  on  the  date  of  closing,  and  if  he  pleases  start  a  member 
of  some  other  stable  so  long  as  he  keeps  up  his  payments. 
From  the  above  it  will  be  noted  that  the  main  difference 
existing  between  this  plan  and  the  one  now  generally  in  force 
are  that  seven  and  a  half  per  cent,  instead  of  five  per  cent,  of 
the  purse  must  be  paid  for  each  starter,  but   nothing  is 
deducted  from  the  amounts  won  by  the  placed  horses.     The 
privilege  of  substitution  up  to  the  day  before  the  race  takes 
place  will  no  doubt  increase  the  number  of  starters.    The 
owner  of  the  horse  winning  fourth  money  will  gain  two  and 
a  half  per  cent,  of  the  purse,  while  the  owner  of  the  fifth  will 
lose  that  amount  instead  of  his  entire  entrance  fee.     Reduc- 
ing the  plan  to  figures,  taking  a  purse  of  one  thousand  dollars 
as  the  basis  of  consideration,  and  deducting  the  amount  paid 
in  entrance  fees  from  the  amount  won,  the  owner  of  the  win- 
ner will  receive  four  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars,  the 
second  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  dollars,  the  third  seventy- 
five  dollars,  the  fourth  twenty-five  dollars  and  the  owner  of 
the  fifth  will  lose  only  twenty-five  dollars.  Under  the  present 
rule  the  owner  of  the  winner  receives  four  hundred  dollars, 
the  second  one  hundred  and  fifty  dollars,  the  third  fifty  dol- 
lars, the  fourth  saves  his  stake  only  and  the  owner  of  the  fifth 
horse  loses  the  amount  of  his  entrance  fee — fifty  dollars.  The 
owners  of  horses  which  finish  "behind  the  money"  lose  sev- 
enty-five dollars  as  against  fifty  dollars.     From  these  figures 
it  is  seen  that  the  owners  of  the  first,  third,  fourth  and  fifth 
horses  will  receive  under  this  new  division  twenty-five  dollars 
more  than  under  the  present  rule,  while  the  owner  of  the  sec- 
ond is  paid  twenty-five  dollars  less.     The  decrease  of  second 
money  from  twenty-five  to  twenty  per  cent,  of  the  purse  will, 
it  is  contended,  promote  better  racing,  and  the  application  of 
the  amount  so  rendered  available  to  the  institution  of  a  fifth 
prize  will  divide  the  purse  among  more  stables,  thus  conduc- 
ing to  the  general  good.    The  privilege  of  substitution  and 
the  added  prize  are  considered  good  value  for  the  increased 
starting  fee.     ft  is  not  made  clear  as  yet  that  this  right  to 
substitute  at  so  late  a  date  as  the  night  before  the  race  is  in 
accordance  with  the  true  principle  of  stake  racing — the  sur- 
vival of  the  fittest — but  outside  of  this,  which  seems  to  be  the 
greatest  stumbling  block  in  the  way  of  its  ultimate  success, 
there  is  but  little  reason  to  doubt  that  the  plan  will  work  to 
advantage.  _     -

couragement is  given  by  owners. 

Oregon   Beauty   Stock. 

The  "Oregon  Beauty"  stock,  of  which  "Oregon  Wonder, 
Jr.,"  now  at  the  Anteeo  stable  in  Santa  Rosa,  is  an  individ- 
ual originated  in  an  old  freak  of  nature,  and  is  now  a  distinct 
type  or  breed  of  horses,  transmitting  to  their  offspring  the 
peculiarities  of  their  race— an  extraordinary  long  silver 
mane  and  tail. 

Mr„R.  H.  Rutherford,  the  owner  nf  the  young  stallion, 
Oregon  Wonder,  Jr.,  called  at  this  office  and  gave  us  a  most 
interesting  account  of  this  remarkable  breed  of  horses. 

He  says  the  grand  dam  of  the  horse  low  in  Santa  Rosa 
was  the  first  of  the  race  and  was  foaled  on  a  farm  in  Marion 
county,  Oregon,  in  the  year  1878.  She  was  a  Morgan  and 
Canadian  mare  with  no  special  characteristics.     The  sire  was 


an  imported  Clydesdale.  He  had,  as  far  as  Mr.  Rutherford 
knows,  no  tendency  to  the  peculiarities  of  the  present  stock, 
an  excessively  long  Bilver  mane  and  tail.  There  was  nothing 
very  noticeable  about  the  colt  for  two  or  three  years,  except 
it  was  its  growth  of  hair.  He  was  broken  and  worked  as  a 
farm  animal.  When  about  four  years  old  the  extraordinary 
growth  of  mane  and  tail  began  to  attract  great  attention  and 
the  owner  of  the  mare  tied  it  up  to  see  how  long  it  would 
grow,  and  in  a  short  time  the  mane  reached  the  ground. 
When  the  mare  was  five  years  old  she  had  a  colt,  the  Ore- 
gon Wonder,  who  inherited  ,her  wonderful  growth  of  mane 
and  tail.  Ihe  present  "Oregon  Wonder,  Jr.,"  now  in  Santa 
Rosa,  is  his  colt.  Oregon  W.-nder,  Sr.,  is  exhibiting  in  the 
East  with  a  mane  sixteen  feet  long  and  tail  twenty  feet  long. 
The  growth  of  hair  seems  if  anything  to  be  increasing  in  the 
descendants  of  the  original  stock  the  average  growth  of  mane 
being  12  inches  a  year  and  tail  13i  per  year,  while  that  of 
the  offspring  i«  174  inches  a  year.  Oregon  Wonder,  Jr.,  is 
five  years  old;  he  will  sport  a  longer  mane  than  his  sire. 
They  are  fine  coach  horses,  good  shape  and  action  besides 
their  remarkable  beauty.  The  only  opportunity  ever  offered 
for  breeding  this  stock  is  now  available  in  Santa  Rosa.  After 
this  season  Mr.  Rutherford,  at  the  Anteeo  stables,  will  with- 
draw the  horse  from  the  stud  and  will  use  him  for  exhibition 
only. 

Burlingame  Races. 

The  races  at  the  Burlingame  course  la?t  Saturday  were  as 
usual  quite  interesting,  and  were  enjoyed  by  a  large  number 
of  spectators. 

A  strong  breeze  blew  in  from  the  north  which  made  it 
rather  unpleasant,  but  other,  tban  this  no  complaint  could  be 
made,  says  the  San  Mateo  Leader. 

Two  accidents  happened  to  mar  the  pleasure  of  the  day- 
In  the  second  race  H.  Simpkins  rode  upon  the  track  on  J_ 
Talbot  Clifton's  Guadaloupe.  The  horse  became  unmanage- 
able and  dashing  against  a  fence  threw  Mr.  Simpkins  to  the 
ground.  Dr.  Whitwell,  who  was  present,  with  several  others 
rushed  to  the  assistance  of  the  iujured  man,  and  had  him 
removed  to  the  club  house.  Here  an  examination  of  his  in- 
juries revealed  the  fact  that  he  sustained  a  fracture  of  a  wrist 
and  collar  bone.  Again  in  the  fourth  race  the  spectators  wit- 
nessed another  accident.  In  clearing  the  last  hurdle  Turk,  a 
club  polo  pony,  threw  its  rider,  J.  H.  P.  Howard,  heavily  to 
the  ground.  Friends  immediately  went  to  the  rescue,  but 
happily  Mr.  Howard  was  not  injured  in  thp  least,  and  came 
up  smiling. 

In  the  first  race,  one-quarter  mile,  polo  ponies,  the  follow- 
ing participated  :  Katrina,  ridden  by  H.  H.  Hinshaw  ;  Mab. 
rider  J.  S.  Tobin;  Punch,  rider  H.  B.  Simpkins;  Gossoon, 
rider  C.  A.  Farnsworth.  The  race  was  a  very  pretty  one,  and 
was  woo  by  Mr.  Farnsworth  on  Gossoon,  with  Mr.  Simpkins 
on  Punch  a  close  second. 

The  second  race,  six  furlongs,  handicap,  horses,  had  five 
entries,  as  follows :  Bliss,  ridden  by  R.  M.  Tobin ;  Easter 
John,  rider  J.  S.  Tobin;  Wallace,  rider  J.  H.  P.Howard; 
Dandy,  rider  H.  H.  Hinshaw;  Vishnu,  rider  J.  B.  Lincoln. 
The  event  was  won  by  R.  M.  Tobin,  on  Bliss,  with  Mr.  Lin- 
coln, on  Vishnu,  in  second  place. 

Five  entries  were  made  in  the  third  race,  four  furlongs, 
polo  ponies,  as  follows:  Katrina,  ridden  by  H.  H.  Hinshaw; 
Gossoon,  rider  C.  A.  Farnsworth  ;  Mab,  rider  J.  S.  Tobin  ; 
Flash,  rider  C.  P.  Tobin  ;  Punch,  rider  R.  M.  Tobin.  The 
race  was  won  by  R.  M.  Tobin  on  Punch,  with  Mr.  Farns- 
worth, on  Gossoon,  second. 

The  fourth  and  last  race  was  a  steeplechase,  one  and  one- 
half  miles,  polo  ponies,  and  was  contested  by  the  following  : 
Turk,  ridden  by  J.  H.  P.  Howard ;  Maud,  rider  H.  H.  Hin- 
shaw ;  Galloping  Dick,  rider  R.  M.  Tobin ;  Wild  Tom,  rider 
C.  A.  Farnsworth.  The  event  was  captured  by  Mr.  Tobin 
on  Galloping  Dick,  with  Mr.  Hinshaw,  on  Maud,  second. 

The  race  meetings  are  appreciated  by  the  people  of  this 
section,  especially  so  because  of  the  fact  that  they  are  con- 
ducted in  a  gentlemanly  manner,  and  no  betting  on  the  con- 
tests or  other  evidences  of  a  professional  nature  are  allowed.

Venerable  Trotters. 


A  floating  item  says  that  the  town  of  New  Philadelphia, 
O.,  has  a  couple  of  venerable  trotters  in  the  stallion  Hamble- 
tonian  Bashaw,  2.21},  twenty-four  years  old,  and  Don  Pedro, 
2:24^,   nineteen   years  of  age.     Hambletonian  Bashaw  was 
quite  a  trotter  in  his  day,  which  was  from  1878  to  1881.     At 
the  beginning  of  his  turf  career  he  was  owned  by  an  Iowa 
man,  but  a  little  later  W.  H.    Crawford,  who  was  then,  as 
now,  a  close  observer  and  good  judge  of  trotters,  saw  in  the 
rangy  bay    horse  a  money-maker,  and  secnred  possession  of 
him.     On  the  turf  at  tiiat  time  was  "  Charley  "  Harvey,  an 
Englishman  of  middle  age  who  kept  a  hotel  in  New  Phila- 
delphia, looking  after  the  hostelry  himself  during  other  times 
of  the  day,  but  during  the  trottiog  season  following  the  horses 
with  an  assiduity  born  of  enthusiasm.     Mr.   Harvey  owned 
several  other  trotters  of  more  or  less  merit  in  those  days, 
among  them  the  famouB  skip-jack  horse  Lew  Scott  and  the 
biack  mare  Duck,  that  made  a  record  of  2:30  and  now  appears 
in  the  books  as  the  dam  of  Newton,  2:22.     Lew  Scott  fell  to 
battle,  so  to  speak,  dying  right  after  the  finish  of  a   race  in 
which  he  had  performed  as  creditably  as  ever  in  his  life. 
Duck  and   Hambletonian   Bashaw  were  taken  to  the  Ohio 
town  by  Mr.  Harvey,  and  the  stallion  is  passing  the  last  days 
of  his  life  there  in  ease  and  comfort.     But  when  it  comes  to 
old  trotters  thit  are  living  in  clover  one  need  go  no  further 
than  Racine,  Wis.,  a  very  "  horsey  "  town  by  the  way,  to  find 
an  animal   that  beats  Hambletonian  Bashaw.    This    is  the 
gray  gelding  Phil  Sheriden,  that   was  foaled   in  1866.     He 
was  one  of  the  old  time  campaigners,  who  Bpent  the  lifetime 
of  an  ordinary  horse  on   the  turf,  trotting  plenty  of  races 
every  year,  and  then  retired  sound  as  a  dollar. 

Phil  Sheridan's  first  winning  race  was  at  Waukesha,  Wis., 
October  9,  1873.  Charley  Brown,  long  since  off  the  turf  and 
and  now  a  burly  farmer,  drove  the  gray  gelding,  winning  the 
first,  third  and  fifth  heats  in  2:43|,  2:38,  2:34|,  Gen.  Howard 
being  victorious  in  the  second  mile  and  making  a  dead  heat 
of  the  fourth.  The  gray  horse  was  busy  for  the  succeeding 
seven  years,  trotting  the  best  he  knew  how  all  the  time,  but 
it  was  not  until  the  fall  of  1881  that  he  made  his  record  of 
2:26£,  doing  it  in  a  winning  race  at  Beloit,  Wis.,  where  he 
defeated  George  K.  and  Doubtful  Girl  in  straight  heats.  Phil 
is  a  son  of  the  Morgan  stallion  Creeper,  that  was  owned  the 
greater  part  of  his  life  at  Waukegau,  111.,  just  south  of  the 
Wisconsin  line,  and  he  is  also  the  only  one  of  the  get  of  that 
horse  to  beat  2:30,  although  two  or  three  of  his  daughters 
have  produced  standard  speed  at  the  trot.  When  Phil  was  on 
the  turf  he  was  an  up-headed,  bold-going  trotter,  very  ready 
to  make  a  break  and  quick  to  recover  from  it  if  asked  to  do 
so  by  a  twitch  of  the  lines.  In  other  words  he  was  "  handy," 
which  in  those  days  was  a  great  point  in  a  trotter,  although 
in  the  present  era  of  honest  and  intelligent  judging  that  sort 
of  a  horse  would  not  win  a  heat  in  a  week.  Stephen  Bull,  a 
wealthy  resident  of  Racine,  owned  Phil,  and  the  old  horse 
still  has  an  honored  place  in  the  family,  although  his  master 
is  gone.  The  gelding's  white  coat  is  as  familiar  to  the  resi- 
dents of  Racine  as  is  the  black  one  of  that  more  famous  trot- 
ter, Jay-Eye-See,  owned  in  the  same  town.  Messrs.  Bull  and 
J.  I.  Case  were  brothers-in-law,  Phil  Sheridan  aod  Jay-Eye- 
See  were  the  favorite  horses  of  each,  and  now  the  horses  are 
taken  loving  care  of  by  the  sons  of  those  men,  the  younger 
generation  being  horse-lovers  as  well,  and  knowing  no  higher 
duty  than  to  shield  and  shelter  the  favorite  trotters  of  their 
fathers. — Breeders'  Gazette. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors 
was  held  at  San  Mateo  last  Monday. 

Among  the  spectators  present  at  the  meeting  were  Behrend 
Joost,  President  of  the  San  Francisco  and  San  Mateo  Electric 
Railroad,  and  Henry  Schwartz,  of  San  Franciso.  The  presence 
of  these  gentlemen  excited  little  or  no  comment  until  an  or- 
dinance was  presented  regulating,  or  rather  prohibiting,  pool 
selling  in  the  county  of  San  Mateo. 

Before  the  vote  on  the  passage  of  the  ordinance  was  called 
Attorney  E.  F.  Fitzpatrick  addressed  the  Board,  stating  that 
he  appeared  as  the  attorney  for  Mr.  Schwartz.  He  advised 
the  Board  not  to  act  hastily  in  the  matter  of  passing  the  ordi- 
nance, as  it  would  kill  a  business  now  carried  on  by  his  client 
in  the  northern  part  of  the  country.  "  The  business  is  alleged 
by  some,"  he  said,  "  to  be  illegitimate,  but  let  the  Board,  by 
personal  observation  or  by  evidence  of  witnesses,  ascertain 
whether  or  not  the  business  is  illegitimate.'' 

Mr.  Fitzpatrick  presented  another  draft  of  an  ordinance  to 
take  the  place  of  the  one  already  before  the  Board,  which 
imposes  a  license  under  which  the  business  could  be  con- 
ducted. [Both  ordinances  imposing  a  license,  but  the  first 
one  presented  was  so  high  as  to  make  it  impossible  to  con- 
duct the  business  as  a  profit.  The  latter  one  imposed  a  much 
lower  license.] 

Chairman  Bryan  placed  himself  on  record  on  the  side  of 
right  by  making  the  following  declaration, which  nearly  every 
person  present  felt  like  applauding:  "Personally  I  am  opposed 
to  the  business  of  pool  Felling.  I  think  it  is  wrong.  And  I 
hope  the  members  of  this  Board  will  stand  in  with  me  in 
preventing  the  attempt  now  being  made  to  make  the  northern 
end  of  the  county  a  dumping  ground  for  the  gamblers  of  San 
Francisco.  Only  yesterday  a  prominent  business  man  of 
San  Francisco  informed  me  that  he  would,  if  requested,  pre- 
sent to  the  Board  a  petition  signed  by  10,000  business  men 
praying  for  the  enactment  of  a  measure  closing  these  pool 
rooms." 

Although  the  matter  was  postponed  until  next  month  for 
final  action,  it  can  be  safely  predicted,  judging  from  the  re- 
marks of  the  Supervisors  made  during  the  day,  that  the  pro- 
hibitory ordinance  will  be  passed  by  a  full  vote. — Leader. 


San  Jose  Awakening  to  the  Danger. 


The  danger  from  diseased  milch  cows,  and  the  necessity  of 
grantiog  by  ordinance  more  powers  to  the  Board  of  Health  of 
this  country  in  the  matter  of  guarding  against  the  danger, 
was  very  strongly  placed  before  the  Council  by  Mayor  Aus- 
tin. "  My  attention  has  been  called  recently,"  said  he,  "  to 
the  fact  that  in  various .  parts  of  the  State — Stockton,  Oak- 
land and  other  cities — there  has  been  considerable  agitation 
because  of  diseased  milch  cows  and  milk  sold,  which  was  in- 
fected with  tuberculosis.  I  am  also  informed  that  in  San 
Jose  during  the  last  week  a  child  of  tender  years  died  of 
tuberculosis.  It  was  found  that  upon  thorough  investigation 
of  the  case  that  the  disease  could  not  have  been  due  to  hered- 
ity, as  none  of  the  child's  ancestors  as  far  as  known  had  been 
afflicted  with  consumption.  It  was  found  to  the  satisfaction 
of  those  investigating  that  the  disease  was  due  to  the  milk 
which  had  been  taken  from  a  cow  afflicted  with  tuberculosis. 
I  am  satisfied  that  there  are  many  cows  within  the  city  of 
San  Jose  affected  with  this  disease,  and  it  is  a  question  of 
such  importance  that  I  urge  that  some  action  be  taken.  From 
further  investigation  I  find  that  the  Board  of  Health  is  too 
much  restricted  in  its  powers  to  cope  with  the  daoger.  It 
seems  to  me  that  it  should  have  power  to  enter  the  premises 
of  those  who  sell  milk  and  to  investigate  and  inspect  the  cows 
and  the  milk  taken  from  them;  and  if  they  find  that  the 
cows  are  diseased,  to  have  the  power  to  condemn  and  kill 
them.  If  thesymptoms  are  not  sufficiently  marked,  but  par- 
tially indicate  that  the  cow  has  tuberculosis,  the  Board  of 
Health  should  have  power  to  provide  for  a  a  uarantine  of  the 
dangerous  animal.  There  is  a  means  provided  for  preventing 
the  spread  of  glanders  among  horsesfor  they  are  taken  out 
and  killed,  and  no  doubt  we  can  do  something  in  this  matter, 
▼here  lives  of  the  citizens  are  endangered.  I  understand 
that  the  hands  of  the  Board  of  Health  are  tied  in  this  matter 
and  they  are  powerless." 

Councilman  Maogrum  immediately  moved  that  the  matter 
be  referred  to  the  Ordinance  Committee  and  City  Attorney  to 
prepare  an  ordinance.     The  motion  was  seconded  by      artin. 

King  offered  the  following  resolution  as  a  substitute:  "That 
the  Ordinance  Committee  be  instructed  to  draft  an  ordinance 
authorizing  the  Board  of  Health  to  inspect  any  milk  sold 
within  the  city  limits  of  San  Jose  and  also  for  the  registration 
and  inspection  of  all  milch  cows  used  for  said  purpose." 

City  Attorney  Hardy,  in  response  to  a  query,  stated  that 
the  Council  had  authority  to  take  such  action.  Considerable 
unimportantdiscussion  was  bad  which  resulted  in  Mangrum's 
motion  being  carried  in  the  followiog  form  :  "  That  the  mat- 
ter of  regulating  the  sale  of  milk  and  the  powers  of  the 
Board  of  Health  in  relation  thereto  and  in  relation  to  dis- 
eased cows  be  referred  to  the  Ordinance  Committe,  and  City 
Attorney." 

The  Councilmen  are  unanimously  in  favor  of  giving  the 
Board  of  Health  power  to  compete  with  this  danger,  and  an 
ordinance  will  probably  be  presented  next  Monday  evening.

Races  That  Will  Fill. 


To  offer  races  that  will  gratify  the  public  and  satisfy 
the  horsemen  is  a  task  that  confronts  the  district  and 
trotting  associations  annually.  The  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Asso- 
ciation composed  as  it  is  ot  all  the  leading  and  most 
prominent  horse  owners  and  breeders,  has  been  foremost 
in  this  labor.  The  ideas  promulgated  at  the  prelimi- 
nary meetings  come  to  a  fruition  on  the  days  when  the 
Iicim-^  ciinc  lor  thi'  word.  l'.\|"'iiiui>nl-  arc  tried  and 
out  of  these  experiments  have  many  good  and  valuable 
departure*  from  the  old-time  races  been  made.  The 
liolden  Hate  Fair  Association  in  an  organization  that 
holds  its  meetings  annually  across  San  Francisco  Bay,  in 
the  City  of  Oaks.  The  citizens  there  know  a  good  horse 
when  they  see  one,  and  enjoy  horse  racing  as  well  as  any 
i  in  California,  and  liberally  support  the  an- 
nual fairs;  nevertheless,  on  novelty  day,  when  somathing 
out  of  the  usual  rout  it I  racing  is  olfered  the  attend- 
ance is  greatly  increased.     This   association  works  baud  \ 


in  hand  with  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association,  and  when  it 
was  decided  to  offer  an  Old  Times  Stake  race  by  the  latter, 
the  directors  of  the  former  also  agreed  to  give  a  race  un- 
der similar  conditions,  for  the  same  distance  and  for  a 
purse  of  like  magnitude. 

Besides  this,  they  will  give  a  mixed  race  for  free- 
for-all  trotters  and  pacers  for  a  purse  of  $1,000,  and  from 
the  number  of  performers  eligible  to  a  race  of  this 
description  there  should  be  no  lack  of  entries. 

The  "  Old  Times  Stake"  four-mile  heat  races,  at  both 
places,  will  give  owners  of  trotters  and  pacers  eligible  to 
the  2:25  class  two  opportunities  of  making  a  goodly  sum 
of  money,  and,  at  the  same  time  demonstrate  the  staying 
qualities  of  their  horses. 

These  races  are  creating  a  great  amount  of  discussion 
among  horsemen,  and  if  all  the  horses  that  are  spoken  of 
are  entered,  no  races  ever  held  on  this  coast  will  arouse 
more  enthusiasm.  There  are  horses  on  this  coast  that 
cannot  trot  a  mile  better  than  2:27,  yet,  when  it  comes 
te  a  four  or  five-mile  dash,  they  will  outlast  many  that 
have  records  of  2:23  or  better.  "  It  is  the  pace  that 
kills,"  this  is  applicable  to  trotters  and  pacers  as  well  as 
runners,  and  in  races  such  as  the  ones  described  in  the 
advertisement,  owners  can  have  nothing  to  complain  of, 
and  the  public  will  be  sure  to  be  satisfied. 


The  San  Jose  Meeting. 


If  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association  meeting 
at  San  Jose  is  not  a  most  successful  one,  the  signs  of  the 
times  fail.  The  papers  of  the  Garden  City  of  California 
have  most  generously  given  many  columns  of  praise  to 
the  movement  in  the  interest  of  the  horsemen  of  the 
State,  who  will  reap  all  the  benefits,  as  they  rightly 
should.  Thus  far  some  of  the  horsemen  have  not  looked 
on  the  new  organization  in  the  right  way.  They  should 
have  seen  that  a  racing  association  managed  by  men 
from  their  ranks  was  the  proper  thing.  By  taking 
such  management  virtually  into  their  own  hands  there 
will  be  racing  at  points  that  have  never  had  a  spring  or 
summer  running  meeting.  The  managers  will  soon  be 
nble  to  see  the  many  opportunities  for  having  a  season 
of  racing  in  cities  where  it  will  pay  handsomely,  and,  at 
the  same  time,  pave  the  way  for  other  and  more  extensive 
race  meetings. 

Build  a  race  track  on  a  barren  waste  of  land,  and  a 
city  will  spring  up  around  the  enclosure.  This  has  been 
demonstrated  time  and  again.  Money  will  be  put  in 
circulation  that  might  be  idle  for  years  and  years,  doing 
no  one  any  manner  of  good.  The  many  institutions  of  the 
city  near  which  the  meeting  is  given  will  profit  by  the  rac- 
ing, directly  and  indirectly,  and  hundreds  of  men  will  find 
employment  that  otherwise  might  be  driven  almost  to 
despair  searching  in  vain  for  work.  California  is  des- 
tined to  be  the  "horse  country"  of  America  and  will  be 
famous  the  world  over  as  the  home  of  the  greatest  of  the 
heroes  and  heroines  of  the  turf — the  raising  and  racing 
ground  of  the  far  West.  Already  her  horses  are  prized 
beyond  those  of  any  other  state  where  buyers  have  given 
the  matter  much  thought,  and  justly  too,  for  have  they 
not  gone  to  the  homes  of  their  rivals  and  placed  the 
principal  stakes  to  their  credit  in  many  a  hard-fought 
battle? 

San  Jose  has  one  of  the  best  tracks  on  the  Pacific 
Slope  and  the  most  magnificent  grounds  surrounding  the 
same  that  ever  gladdened  the  eyes  of  a  lover  of  nature. 
Her  people  love  horses  of  all  classes,  and  are  quick  to 
appreciate  merit.  Let  us  hope  the  meeting  beginning 
next  Saturday  will  be  one  worthy  of  the  association 
which  has  had  such  a  notable  success  in  San  Francisco, 
and  whose  membership  roll  contains  the  names  of  so 
many  good  men. 


From  latest  advices  the  flood  at  Portland  is  subsiding 
fast,  and  the  horsemen  art  very  enthusiastic  about  their 
coming  meeting.  The  overflow  of  the  river  never  cooled 
their  ardor  during  the  time  the  silent  waters  were 
seeking  a  high  mark  on  the  principal  business  houses 
and  residences  in  that  city.  President  Quimby  says: 
"  We  will  have  the  best  meeting  ever  given  in  Portland," 
and  with  such  a  man  at  the  head  of  an  organization,  sup- 
|K>rted  by  an  enthusiastic  hard-working  board  of  direc- 
tors, there  is  no  doubting  his  prophecy  being  fulfilled. 


HoitsKMF.N  should  not  forget  that  entries  for  a  number 
of  events  will  close  July  2d.  By  referring  to  our  ad- 
vertising columns  they  will  observe  that  there  are  many 
opportunities  for  them  to  enter  their  trotters  and  pacers 
before  entries  to  the  best  meetings  on  the  circuit  close.

Will  End   in   a   Blaze   of  Glory. 

The  great  Midwinter  Fair  will  close  July  4th,  and 
during  the  seven  days  preceding  that  eventful  holiday 
there  will  be  given  an  entertainment  entitled,  "A  Spanish 
Fiesta."  The  exhibition  of  rough  riding,  cattle  tying  and 
quarter  racing  given  at  Coronado  Beach  last  winter  was 
repeated  at  San  Jose  a  few  weeks  ago,  and  now  we  are 
to  have  a  gigantic  spectacle  comprising  all  the  most  in- 
teresting features  of  these  exhibition,  as  well  as  additional 
novelties,  that  will  not  only  prove  attractive  and  exciting, 
but  will  furnish  object  lessons  for  old  and  young,  that 
will  never  be  forgotten.  We  have  all  read  of  the  great 
tournaments,  hunting  pageants,  paper  hunts,  chariot 
races,  Roman  standing  races  and  the  jousts  and  tilting 
matches  of  the  days  of  chivalry,  and  to  see  correct  repre- 
sentations of  these  now  will  be  appreciated  by  all. 

Besides  these  "  divertisements,"  as  the  old  circus  bills 
say,  there  will  be  exhibitions  of  equestrianism,  and  a 
horse  show  at  which  thoroughbreds,  standard-bred  trot- 
ters, hackneys,  carriage  horses,  coach  and  saddle  horses, 
hunters,  ponies,  etc.,  will  be  there  in  numbers.  Some  of 
the  most  prominent  horse-owners  in  California  have  sig- 
nified their  intention  of  sending  their  horses  for  which 
splendid  stalls  and  accommodations  will  be  provided. 

Besides  these  there  will  be  a  competition  of  commer- 
cial turnouts  and  wagons.  This  is  the  first  time  that  a 
competition  of  this  nature  has  been  attempted  on  the 
coast,  and  it  is  intended  to  make  the  exhibition  one  of 
tbe  attractive  features  of  the  approaching  festival.  As 
shown  in  the  official  programme  recently  published,  the 
classes  are  open  to  entries  of  vehicles,  rigs  of  all  sorts 
that  pass  the  inspection  of  the  examining  committee, 
thus  assuring  an  elegant  procession.  In  addition  to  the 
handsome  delivery  outfits  of  the  leading  merchants  of 
San  Francisco,  Oakland,  Sacramento  and  Stockton,  the 
prominent  carriage  manufacturers  on  the  Pacific  Coast 
are  striving  to  outdo  one  another  in  the  exhibition  of 
their  finest  workmanship  in  the  production  of  all  classes 
of  fine  vehicles,  ranging  from  the  light  racing  pneumatic 
sulky  to  the  heavy  drag,  tally-ho  coaches  and  four  and 
six-in-hands  to  take  part  in  the  grand  parade  on  Wed- 
nesday, the  first  day,  and  also  in  the  mammoth  pageant 
on  the  following  Sunday.  The  competitors  are  instructed 
to  lavishly  decorate  their  horses  and  carriages  in  holiday 
attire,  with  flowers  and  bunting.  The  Midwinter  Fair 
offers  a  large  number  of  elegant  prizes  and  medals  suit- 
ably engraved  for  the  occasion,  affording  the  winners 
appropriate  and  valuable  testimonials  as  to  the  merits  of 
their  exhibits. 


California  needs  a  scale  of  weights  of  her  own  ;  at? 
least,  the  weights  for  two-year-olds  in  all-aged  races  need 
adjustment,  and  a  material  raise  would  be  in  order.  Our 
race-goers  have  this  spring  and  summer  observed  many 
times  that  a  mediocre  two-year-old  at  the  weights  could 
go  out  and  (make  fair  performers  three  years  old  and  up- 
ward) look  like  the  commonest  of  canines.  For  a  few 
days  no  complaint  was  heard,  but  at  length  the  howl  in- 
creased iu  volume,  and  owners  entered  their  older 
horses  in  races  with  youngsters  with  the  idea  of 
running  no  better  than  second.  Then  came  a  lot  of 
scratching  out  of  the  three  and  four-year-olds  and  aged 
horses  when  a  two-year-old  was  arrayed  against  them, 
the  latter  carrying  a  mere  feather.  The  racing  was  made 
unattractive  by  the  easy  victories  of  the  two-year-olds, 
the  fields  were  in  size  most  meager,  and  there  was  a 
world  of  dissatisfaction.  To  arrive  at  the  wherefore  of 
this  is  easy.  A  California  two-year-old  is  as  well  ad- 
vanced physically  as  a  three-year-old  reared  on  the  east- 
ern side  of  the  Rockies,  and  can  pack  as  much  weight 
on  his  young  back.  And  it  is  in  no  wise  certain  that  a 
colt  foaled  here  iu  January,  February  or  March  is  not 
nearly  if  not  quite  as  capable  of  taking  up  weight  to  the 
extent  of  105  pounds  and  running  in  California  any  dis- 
tance up  to  six  furlongs  as  gamely  and  as  fast  as  he  can 
as  a  three-year-old.  Of  course,  when  taken  across  the 
continent  to  a  thoroughly  different  climate,  it  takes  sev- 
eral months  for  the  Californian  to  become  well  accli- 
mated, and  if  raced  there  in  May,  June  or  July,  he  is 
only  a  shade  better  than  his  brethren  of  Kentucky, 
Tennessee  or  Virginia.  But  to  return  to  the  original 
question,  we  do  not  think  it  would  be  working  any  hard- 
ship on  owners  of  two-year-olds  in  California  if  the 
weights  on  their  youngsters  in  all-aged  races  were  placed 
at  100  pounds  for  colts,  97  for  geldings  and  95  for  fillies 
in  races  up  to  six  furlongs. 


Returns  are  coming  in  from  race  meetings,  and  the 
lack  of  pedigrees  for  winners  is  also  noticeable.  ThiB 
grievance  is  an  annual  one,  and  all  turf  journals  should 
insist  on  having  these  omissions  filled  at  once.

well-formed  and  handsome  looking  colts  fillies  and  geld-

significance  will  explain  in  a  great  measure  the  remark- 
ably fine  and  healthy  condition  every  animal  is  in.  Mon- 
roe Salisbury  says  that  "  unless  a  colt  or  filly  gets  the 
best  of  feed  and  care  during  the  first  eighteen  months  of 
its  existence  it  is  very  little  account  thereafter."  When 
such  an  expert  on  horse-breeding  and  developing  offers 
such  an  opinion  the  public  may  be  sure  that  it  was  not 
learned  except  by  experience.

"WHAT    HORSEMEN    SAT    OF    IT. 

"Wonderful    Reports    of    the    Most    Successful 
Discovery  of  the  Age. 


Last    Year    and    This. 


Up  to  the  first  of  Jaue,  1893,  between  twenty-five  and 
thirty  performers  had  entered  the  2:30  list  in  that  year.  This 
year  the  number,  so  far  as  we  can  ascertain,  is  twenty,  of 
which  one-half  have  been  pacers.  The  lowest  record  made 
by  the  new  performers  up  to  that  date  was  2:21i,  made  by 
Simmons,  a  bay  pacing  gelding  by  Belladonna  (son  of  Am- 
bassador), and  the  lowest  trotting  record  by  Pantomime,  a 
daughter  of  Arthurton,  out  of  a  Princeps  mare.  Probably 
the  fastest  of  the  new  additions  to  the  list  is  Lutie  Strath- 
more,  that  has  taken  a  pacing  record  of  2:29J.  She  was 
credited  last  year  with  the  ability  to  pace  three  heats  in  2:12 
or  better,  and  will,  no  doubt,  show  the  metal  she  is  made  of 
later  on  in  the  season.  The  tastest  trotting  record  made  this 
year  thus  far  was  made  by  Am  boy,  a  chestnut  gelding  by 
Heptagon,  that  reduced  his  record  from  2:19i  to  2:15£.  The 
fastest  record  has  been  made  by  Rosebury  (p)  in  2:1 4 J.  Last 
year  the  fastest  record  reported  up  to  June  22  was  2:19$-, 
made  by  two  horses,  one  a  trotter  and  one  a  pacer.  Among 
the  reduced  records  we  have  this  year  there  are  five  that 
average  considerably  faster  than  the  two  best  of  last  year  up 
to  June  22.  They  are  Amboy,  trotter,  2:15£  ;  Brooks,  pacer, 
2:15J,  by  Nettie  Keenan  ;  Martha  H.,  pacer,  2:19,  by  Gam- 
betta  Wilkes;  Miss  Woodford,  pacer,  2:16$,  by  Sam  Purdy  ; 
Robert  C,  pacer,  2:19},  by  Thorndale  Idol,  and  Rosbury, 
pacer,  2:15i.  Thus,  while  last  year's  performances  exceeded 
slightly  in  number  those  of  this  year,  the  latter  are  consid- 
erably the  best  in  point  of  speed. 

The  training  season  set  in  earlier  this  year  than  last,  at 
least  in  this  locality,  but  it  has  been  greatly  interrupted  by 
bad  weather.  While  this  fact  has  interfered  with  the  prepara- 
tion of  horses.it  may  be  an  ultimate  benefit,  as  there  is  a  great 
propensity  among  trainers  to  develop  speed  too  rapidly  when 
weather  conditions  are  favorable.  This  year  they  have  been 
compelled  by  adverse  weather  to  give  their  horses  more  rest, 
probably,  than  usual.  This  suggests  a  fact  that  has  been  fre- 
quently commented  upon,  but  which  it  is  almost 
impossible  to  have  sufficiently  heeded.  In  the  rash  for  speed, 
youngsters  will  be  over-driven,  and  too  great  conservatism  in 
working  them  cannot  well  be  exercised  until  they  are  thor- 
oughly seasoned.  Every  year  some  of  the  most  promising 
colts  are  knocked  out,  and  that  very  frequently  by  very  in- 
telligent and  capable  drivers.  They  get  in  too  much  of  a 
hurry  and  are  too  anxious  to  show  phenomena.  There  is 
greater  danger  with  horses  that  come  to  their  speed  rapidly 
than  with  the  slower  kind.  The  temptation  to  drive  too  fast 
and  too  many  miles  is  almost  irresistible,  and  too  many 
wrecks  are  left  along  the  path  of  speed  development.  It  is 
much  better  to  have  the  fast  miles  at  the  close  than  at  the 
beginning  of  the  season. — Kentucky  Stock  Farm. 

Los  Angeles   Race  Meetlner. 

Los  Angeles  intends  to  give  one  of  the  best  meetings  this 
year  on  the  California  circuit.  Although  their  meeting  does 
not  take  place  until  October,  the  board  of  directors  have  al- 
ready arranged  a  trotting  and  pacing  programme.  There 
are  no  less  than  five  purses  of  $1000  and  over. 

The  programme  is  as  follows: 

Trotting,  free  for  all,  purse  $1500;  pacing,  free  for  all, 
purse  $1200;  pacing,  2:14  class,  purse  $1000;  trotting,  2:17 
class,  purse  $1000  ;  trotting,  2:20  class,  purse$1000;  pacing, 
2:19  class,  purse  $800;  trottiDg,  2:24  class,  purse  $800;  trot- 
ting, 2:27  class,  purse  $700;  trotting,  2:30  class,  purse  $600; 
trotting,  2:40  class,  purse  $500;  trotting,  three-year-olds,  purse 
$500;  trotting,  two-year-olds,  purse  $300;  pacing,  2:30  class, 
purse  $400;  and  pacing,  two-year-olds,  purse  $300. 

The  conditions  for  all  the  above  events  are  5  percent  en- 
trance, with  an  additional  5  per  cent  from  the  winners  of 
first,  second  and  third  moneys.  The  Southern  Citrus  Associ- 
ation has  also  decided  to  give  twelve  running  races,  the 
purses  and  conditions  of  which   will    be  announced  later  on. 


"  The  best  man  I  ever  had  with  my  horses,  best  both  for 
training  and  driving,  was  a  man  I  could  not  keep  solely  on 
account  of  the  fact  that  whenever  a  race  meeting  was  on,  and 
he  was  about  the  track,  he  was  sure  to  begin  drinking.  On 
the  ranch  he  would  be  all  straight  but  just  as  sure  as  he  would 
go  to  town,  just  so  sure  was  he  to  get  drinking.  When  he 
was  sober,  he  was,  as  1  remarked  in  the  beginning,  the  best 
man  I  ever  had.  I  had  to  let  him  go  and  have  never  since 
found  as  good  an  all-round  man.  But  what  is  a  man  to  do? 
He  can't  trust  valuable  stock  in  tbs  hands  of  a  man  that  is 
liable  to  '  go  back  on  him,'  especially  at  such  a  critical  time 
as  a  race  meeting."  The  above  remarks  were  made  by  one 
of  our  best-known  horse  owners  and  we  frequently  hear  the 
remark  that  "So  and  So  is  a  good  man  but  he  drinks  and  I 
can't  trust  him."  If  the  history  of  the  turf  is  ever  exhaus- 
tively written  what  losses  will  be  traced  direct  to  drunkeness. 
If  ever  a  man  needs  acool,level  head  at  a  time  when  he  wants 
his  best  judgment,  in  fact,  his  brains,  to  be  in  good  working- 
order,  it  is  when  a  meeting  is  on.  How  frequently  the 
most  promising  of  colts  and  fillies  have  been  ruined  by  the 
fact  that  the  driver  had  been  drinking.  So  often  has  this 
been  the  case  that  the  rule  to  employ  onlysober  men  in  most 
cases  total  abstainers,  is  rigidly  enforced. 

The  announcement  that  a  cure  for  the  drink  habit  had  not 
only  been  discovered  but  was  in  successful  operation  since 
introduced  on  this  coast,  and  realizing  what  a  boom  to 
horsemen  such  a  thing  would  be,  our  reporter  started  on  an 
investigation  of  the  merits  of  the  Filtz  Cure,  knowing  that 
Mr.  N.  J.  Stone  would  lend  neither  his  name  nor  his  business 
ability  to  anything  questionable,  determined  first  of  all  to 
interview  him  regarding  the  matter. 

In  answer  to  inquiries  Mr.  Stone  said  "  that  his  attention 
was  first  called  to  the  subject  of  the  Fittz  Cure  by  a  corre- 
spondent living  in  the  East,  who  mentioned  incidentally  that 
he  had  taken  the  Fittz  Cure.  From  this  friend  I  learned 
that  he  took  the  cure  at  home  without  loss  of  time  or  in- 
jury to  his  health.  I  saw  at  a  glance  that  if  this  treat- 
ment could  be  taken  without  loss  of  time  and  without 
publicity,  and  was  a  sure  and  safe  cure  for  the  drink  ap- 
petite, it  was  an  important  revolution  in  the  methods  of 
treating  alcoholism.  I  then  determined  to  give  the  matter 
a  thorough  and  careful  investigation." 

"  What  steps  did  you  take  to  investigate  this  matter?" 
"I  first  inquired  carefully  into  the  character  of  the  men 
who  were  managing  this  treatment  and  their  methods  of 
doing  business.  I  found  in  every  instance  that  the  busi- 
ness was  in  the  hands  of  clean  men,  thoroughly  interested 
in  the  work — men  who  had  devoted  years  to  disinterested 
temperance  work  in  all  its  different  phases.  In  fact,  I  found 
the  strongest  temperance  organization  in  New  England  was 
sending  the  cure  direct  from  its  headquarters  in  Boston,  giv- 
ing the  treatment  its  unqualified  indorsement.  I  found  at  the 
head  of  the  business  in  one  State  a  man  of  high  standing  who, 
for  fourteen  years  was  at  the  head  of  the  State  Temperance 
Organization,  and  is  now  Grand  Master  of  the  Grand  Lodge 
of  I.  O.  O.  F.  I  found  that  noue  but  first-class,  responsible 
business  men  were  connected  with  this  business." 
"Did  your  investigation  end  with  this?" 
"Not  by  any  means.  Having  satisfied  myself  that  the 
business  methods  and  character  of  the  men  who  were  at  the 
head  of  the  Fittz  Cure  were  satisfactory,  I  then  investigated 
very  carefully  the  effect  of  the  treatment  upon  those  who  had 
taken  it.  I  have  letters  from  a  large  number  of  patients  who 
have  been  entirely  cured  by  this  treatment,  as  well  as  many 
letters  from  disinterested  persons  who  watched  its  effect  upon 
acquaintances  who  were  taking  it  and  for  months  afterward. 
Included  among  the  authors  of  these  letters  are  some  of  the 
most  prominent  men  in  the  East.  For  instance,  I  have  one 
from  the  Hon.  C.  A.  Snlloway,  a  leading  lawyer,  whom  I 
have  known  for  years.  He  writes :  '  The  Fittz  Cure  treat- 
ment is  a  safe,  sure  and  permanent  cure  for  alcoholism.  I 
do  not  hesitate  to  give  it  my  unqualified  indorsement." 

"Hon.  E.  H.  Knowlton,  the  Mayor  of  Manchester,  N.  H., 
says :  '  I  have  known  several  who  have  taken  the  treatment 
and  been  entirely  cured  of  alcoholism.  They  tell  me  that 
they  have  not  the  slightest  desire  for  any  alcoholic  drink.  It 
is  with  pleasure  that  I  give  it  my  endorsement,' 

The  Hon.  N.  E.  Martin,  a  prominent  attorney  writes:  "  I 
have  known  more  than  a  score  of  men  who  have  taken  the 
Fittz  Cure,  and  in  no  instant  has  it  failed.' 

"  W.  B.  Clement,  a  prominent  lawyer,  who  took  the  treat- 
ment, writes  :  "  I  can  declare  with  as  much  confidence  and 
belief  that  I  shall  never  take  another  drink  of  liquor  as  I  am 
certain  of  my  own  existence.' 

"Professor  H.  C.  Blaidsell  writes  :  '  With  little  hope,  he 
took  the  treatment.  To  the  surprise  of  himself  and  friends 
the  effect  was  magical.  In  a  very  short  time  he  was  a  cured 
man  so  far  as  the  desire  for  strong  drink  was  concerned — 
cured  for  all  time  of  that  appetite.' 

"  Beojimin  R.  Jewell,  treasurer  of  the  Massachusetts  Total 
Abstinence  Society  of  Boston,  writes:  'f  have  carefully  in- 
vestigated the  Fittz  Cure,  especially  as  to  the  merits  and 
curative  powers  of  this  treatment.  I  am  satisfied  that  it 
possesses  the  advantages  and  merits  of  all  other  cures,  and 
has  also  in  its  favor  the  home  treatment,  no  loss  of  time,  and 
smaller  cost  compared  with  all  other  reliable  cures.  I  there- 
fore give  the  Fittz  Cure  my  personal  endorsement.' 

Examination  was  made  of  the  letters  from  which  the  above 
quotations  are  made,  in  addition  to  which  Mr.  Stone  produced 
some  seventy-five  other  letters,  giving  the  Fittz  Cure  unqual- 
ified indorsement.  But  further  quotations  must  be  left  for 
another  article. 

Mr.  Stone  was  then  asked  if  his  investigation  had  satis6ed 
him  as  to  the  merits  of  the  Fittz  Cure  treatment  for  alcohol- 
ism. 

Mr.  Stone  replied  most  emphatically  that  the  evidence  in 
his  possession  received  from  disinterested  persons  was  abso- 
lutely conclusive  upon  that  point;  that  beyond  all  question 
the  above  quotation  from  Mr.  Jewell's  letter  stated  moderately 
the  merits  of  the  treatment. 

"  Are  permanent  cures  made  ?  " 

"Yes,  sir;  this  treatment  has  been  in  use  something  over 
three  years.  It  has  been  taken  by  hundreds  of  patients,  and, 
so  far  as  I  can  learn,  without  a  single  relapse.  I  am  ac- 
quainted with  men  who  took  it  two  years  ago.    They  tell  me 


they  have  not  the  slightest  desire  for  intoxicating  liquors  of 
any  kind,  in  one  instance  the  gentleman  had  been  addicted 
to  the  use  of  intoxicating  liquors  to  excess  for  about  twenty 
years." 

'■  Mr.  Stone,  you  speak  of  the  Fittz  Cure  as  a  home  treat- 
ment.    Can  it  be  used  as  a  hospital  or  institute  treatment?" 

"  Yes,  sir ;  there  can  be  no  better.  I  called  it  a  home  treat- 
ment, as  most  patients  prefer  being  treated  ibere.  In  fact,  I 
fail  to  see  why  any  one  should  leave  home  and  go  among 
strangers  when  it  is  unnecessary.  There  are  thousands  who 
can  not  leave  their  work  or  basiness.  In  fact,  I  heard  a  young 
man  say  that  he  could  not  leave  his  work  if  they  gave  him  a 
treatment." 

"  Then  you  know  the  meu  who  are  taking  it  ?  u 

"  Yes,  sir;  several  who  began  the  treatment  since  the  Fittz 
Cure  opened  its  office  at  room  7,  Flood  Building,  on  Market 
street,  San  Francisco.  Your  readers  would  be  surprised  if 
they  knew  who  some  of  these  men  are,  as  some  of  our  ablest 
and  most  prominent  men  are  among  the  number — men  who 
are  not  classed  as  drinking  men  among  their  friends." 

State  I  Fair   Races. 


Sacramento,  June  14.— The  State  Board  of  Agriculture 
met  to-night  and  decided  on  a  portion  of  the  trotting  and 
pacing  programme  for  the  coming  State  Fair,  as  follows: 
First  day — Occident  stake,  closed;  2:17  class,  purse  §1000,  to

a  2:17  bar  ;  three-year-old  pace  and  Futurity  trot,  both  closed. 

Running  stakes  were  offered,  with  penalties  and  allowances, 
to  close  August  1st.  The  remainder  of  the  running  pro- 
gramme will  be  announced  August  25th.  It  will  provide  for 
four  additional  days  racing,  and  will  be  arranged  to  accommo- 
date all  classes  of  horses.     The  events  announced  are : 

Openingscramble.  a  sweepstake  for  two-year-olds,  with  $300 
added,  six  furlongs;  the  Sunny  Slope  Stake,  a  sweepstake  for 
two-year-old  fillies,  with  $250  added,  five  furlongs;  the  Cali- 
fornia Annual  stake,  for  two-year-olds,  with  $350  added,  six

added,  one  mile;  the  Del  Mar  stake,  for  all  ages,  with  $300 
added,  one  mile. 

The  Board  offered  $1,300  to  the  Third  Regiment,  National 
Guard  of  California,  of  the  northern  part  of  the  State  to  come 
here  during  the  fair  and  engage  in  a  sham  battle. 

Jewels  Rich  and  Rare. 


The  time  for  watching  the  trotting  and  pacing  horses 
contest  for  supremacy  on  the  race  tracks  is  rapidly  approach- 
ing. Every  one  attending  the  races  likes  to  own  a  good 
timer,  and  we  do  not  know  of  a  better  place  to  secure  a  first- 
class  one  at  a  low  price  than  A.  Hirschman's,  113  Sutter 
street,  between  Montgomery  and  Kearney.  The  stock  of 
stop  watches  and  timers  on  sale  in  this  splendid  emporium  is 
not  surpassed  by  any  other  establishment  on  this  coast.  Be- 
sides these  useful  articies,  the  class  of  jewelry  displayed  is  of 
such  a  high  order  of  excellence  that  the  greatest  experts 
gather  here  to  see  what  the  latest  designs  are.  In  diamonds 
and  precious  stones  Mr.  Hirschman  holds  the  leading  place 
in  the  estimation  of  experts.  The  other  day  he  showed  us  a 
diamond  which  for  brilliancy,  whiteness,  depth  and  purity 
surpasses  anything  of  the  kind  ever  seen  in  this  State.  It  is 
a  Golconda  gem  and  was  purchased  from  a  wealthy  East  In- 
dian, and  at  $3,500  is  considered  a  remarkably  low  figure, 
considering  its  beauty  and  rarity.  It  is  not  a  large,  flat- 
faced  stone,  and  in  this  respect  it  is  unequaled  **or  the  price 
by  any  other  ever  brought  to  this  coast.  Besides  this  gem, 
there  are  other  very  valuable  diamonds,  rubies  and  emeralds 
that  are  most  suitable  for  presents. 


The  sale  of  Matchbox  to  Baron  de  Hirsch,  for  what  ap- 
pears to  be  an  exorbitant  figure,  evidently  has  an  inside  his- 
tory. It  will  be  remembered  that  the  Baron  put  up  for 
election  in  the  French  Jockey  Club  three  years  ago  and  was 
blackballed  on  account  of  his  being  a  Jew.  He  was  intensely 
sore  at  the  time,  and  made  no  secret  of  the  matter.  Match- 
box is  favorite  for  the  Grand  Prix  de  Paris  and  looks  to  have 
this  event  safe.  Without  doubt  it  was  with  the  purpose  of 
scoring  a  triumph  over  the  ill-mannered  sportsmen  of  France 
that  the  purchase  of  Matchbox  was  made,  as  the  colt  seems 
to  bold  everything  else  as  safe  as  Ladas  holds  him.  The 
confederacy  from  whom  Malchbox  was  bought,  Lord  Arling- 
ton and  Sir  Frederick  Johnstone,  have  long  been  noted  for 
their  astuteness,  and  thev  doubtless  held  out  for  a  big  price, 
knowing  what  the  Baron's  object  was.  Racecourses  have  ere 
this  been  turned  into  graveyards,  and  with  Baron  de  Hirsch, 
with  his  unlimited  wealth,  on  their  track,  the  members  of 
the  French  Jockey  Club  have  good  reason  not  to  feel  alto- 
gether comfortable. —  Daily  America  and  Mercury. 


Commencing  at  Little  Rock,  Leigh  &  Rose  have  th  is  far 
won  over  $30,000.  Of  this  sum  Chant  won  nearly  $10,000, 
he  having  three  stakes  to  his  credit.  By  the  by,  he  was  sent

There  may  have  been  fast  yoang  pacers  by  Direct,  2:05$, 
foaled  this  year,  but  the  trotter  that  the  grand-looking  mare 
dropped  by  Dexter  Princess,  2:24,  is  a  typical  campaigner  al- 
ready. His  dam  is  noted  for  her  symmetry  and  speed,  and 
this  youngster  is  simply  perfection. 

The  barn  on  David  Young's  plaee  on  the  Copperopolis 
rot.d  near  Fair  Oaks,  was  seen  to  be  ablaze  Monday.  Before 
engines  arrived  the  structure  was  in  ashes,  five  valuable  horses 
perishing  in  the  flames.  One  of  them  was  valued  at  $1,200. 
The  total  loss  was  about  $3,500.     No  insurance. 

H.  M.  La  Rue,  the  well-known  presiding  judge,  has  been 
appointed  by  the  Portland  Speed  and  Driving  Association  for

that  could  befselected,  and  all  who  attend  the  races  there  will 
be  sure  of  receiving  splendid  treatment  and  justice. 

A  lot  of  trotting  horses  from  Hueneme  were  entered  at 
Clancy  and  Goulding's  race  track  on  Monday  for  the  season, 
and  several  more  strings  are  expected  from  different  points 
next  week.  Those  from  Hueneme  were  entered  by  J.  H. 
Cody,  and  among  them  are  Wildwood,  Seaside  and  Annie  S. 

The  executors  of  the  estate  of  Count  Valensin,  deceased, 
have  sold  all  the  property  of  the  estate.  Everything  has 
been  converted  into  cash  and  the  estate  will  soon  be  closed 
up.  This  afternoon  Judge  Ogdeo  confirmed  the  sale  of  three 
colts  and  four  cows  for  $425.  The  estate  is  hopelessly  bank- 
rupt. 

Fantasy  is  rapidly  getting  into  form,  and  now  possesses  al- 
most as  much  speed  as  when  she  went  into  winter  quarters 
last  fall  with  a  record  of  2:0S$.  Her  half-mile  trials  in  1:05, 
1:06  and  1:06  this  spring  have  been  accomplished  with  such 
ease  as  to  lead  many  horsemen  to  believe  she  will  lower  the 
2:05}  which  Directum  made  last  season. 

As  evidence  of  the  great  and  substantial  interest  the  late 
Senator  Stanford  took  in  trotting  affairs  and  his  extreme 
liberality  in  the  matter  of  stake  entries,  up  to  date  the  Palo 
Alto  Farm  has  paid  into  the  Terre  Haute  Fair's  great  $24,000 
purse  for  four-year-olds,  $1,395  cash,  and  in  addition  to  this 
about  $200  has  been  paid  in  by  purchasers  of  Palo  Alto  stock. 

As  will  be  seen  in  our  advertising  columns  there  will  be 
an  auction  sale  of  blooded  horses  at  the  Fresno  fairgrounds 
on  the  20th  and  21st  of  June.  The  stock  to  be  sold  com- 
prises that  formerly  owned  by  S.  N.  Straube,  of  the  Poplar 
Grove  Breeding  Farm.  This,  in  itself,  is  a  sufficient  guaran- 
tee of  the  value  of  the  stock,  and  the  low  prices  which  are 
likely  to  rule,  should  insure  a  very  large  attendance. 

"When  A.  H.  Moore  carries  out  his  intention  to  sell  the 
yearlings  of  Cloverdell  Farm  by  auction,  there  will  be

the  farm.  They  are  :  May  15,  bay  colt,  dam  Mora,  by  Wil-

The  route  selected  by  Monroe  Salisbury  for  his  string  of 
trotters  and  pacers  on  the  Eastern  circuit  this  year  is  as  fol- 
lows :  Council  Bluffs,  June  26th  to  28th  ;  Saginaw,  July  9th 
to  14th  ;  Detroit,  July  16th  to  21st ;  Cleveland,  July  24lh  to 
27th;  Buffalo,  July  31st  to  August  11th;  Rochester  and 
Terre  Haute,  August  14th  to  17th  ;  Chicago  and  Springfield, 
August  21st  to  25th;  Fort  Wayne,  August  28th  to  31st ;  New 
\  ork,  September  3d  to  8th;  Galesburg,  September  17th  to 
22d;  Chilicothe,  October  1st  to  6th  ;  Lexington,  October  6th 
to  13th,  and  Nashville, October  15th  to  25th. 

The  salutary  rule  touching  identification  which  obtains  on 
the  running  turf  ought  to  be  adopted  by  the  managers  of 
trotting  tracks.  It  provides  that  the  pedigree  and  history  of 
every  animal  must  be  duly  registered  before  that  animal  is 
started  in  a  race.  Such  a  rule  would  be  in  line  with  the 
avowed  purpose  of  the  trotting  associations,  viz.,  ''  the  im- 
provement of  the  breed  of  horses."  If  it  were  made  man- 
datory and  enforced  to  the  letter,  we  should  see  a  marked  de- 
crease in  the  annual  crop  of  ancient  and  venerable  3:00 
trotters,  scarred  by  the  firing-iron's  tell-tale  mark  and 
"wrinkled  deep  in  time."  There  is  no  inquiry  so  effective  in 
detecting  a  ringer  as:  Where  was  he  raised  and  how  is  he 
bred  ?  And  no  other  line  of  evidence  is  so  difficult  for  the 
pirates  of  the  turf  to  successfully  forge. 

Longevity  in  stock— 2specially  such  as  has  seen  service 
on  the  turf  as  well  as  in  the  stud — is  a  grand  test  of  physical 
prepotence.  We  have  jotted  down  a  few  instances  that  are 
of  current  interest.  Dutch  Girl,  2:27,  is  Btill  hearty  at  seven- 
teen years  of  age.  Old  pacing  Johnston,  2:06},  is  alive  at 
the  same  age  and  still  in  training.  Don  Pedro,  2:291,  is 
nineteen,  and  Mambrino  Abdallah  is  twenty  years  old.  The 
latter  served  eighty-four  mares  last  season,  getting  all  but  two 
in  foal.  Pickering,  2:30,  is  twenty-two.  Hambletonian 
Bashaw,  2:21$.  is  twenty-four.  Trampoline,  2:23,  is  twenty- 
five,  and  is  driven  in  and  out  of  Boston  six  days  in  every 
week.  Herod.  2:24},  is  twenty-eight.  Rosalind,  2:21$,  is 
twenty-nine,  though  she  has  been  barren  for  fifteen  years. 
Jay  Gould.  2:21$,  is  thirty  years  old.  These  few  instances 
show  that  longevity  and  impressiveness  are  nearly  akin  in 
"hereditary"  relationship. 

The  free  for-all  pace  at  the  coming  Woodland  Fair  will  be 
among  the  most  notable  of  California's  racing  events  this  sea- 
son. Four  record-breakers  will  try  for  honors.  Diablo,  who 
holds  the  world's  pacing  record  for  a  four-year-old,  made  on 
this  track  last  season,  will  strive  for  the  $200  extra  money 
offered  for  any  horse  that  reduces  the  time,  2:09},  which  he 
made  last  year.  W.  Woda',  his  old-time  competitor,  will  be 
here  again.  Wood  is  this  season  in  the  bands  of  Millard 
Sanders,  an  Eastern  trainer  of  high  repute  who  iuteods  to 
work  the  speedy  side-wheeler  for  all  the  "go"  there  is  in 
him.  Wood  is  said  to  be  in  better  form  than  ever  this  year 
and  will  probably  knock  the  underpinning  from  some  of  the 
records  before  the  season  is  over.  Dr.  Sffift,  a  lightning 
striker  from  San  .lore,  aod  Hazel  H.,a  young  mare  that  made 
some  remarkably  fast  time  last  year,  fill  put  a  <|iiartette  of 
fliers  that  will  keep  the  crowd  guessing  for  the  winner.  This 
will  be  the  first  meeting  for  these  great  racers  this  season. 
The  free-for-all  pacing  races  offered  by  other  associations  have 
failed  to  fill.  The  owner  of  Diablo  writee  a  pleasant  personal 
letter  to  this  association  in  which  he  refers  to  the  kind  treat- 
ment shown  him  last  year,  as  one  reason  for  a  desire  to  again 
pit  his  horse  against  speedy  company  on  the  Woodland  track.

In  speaking  of  the  attempt  to  "ring"  Volunteer  Prince  at 
Parkway  last  Wednesday  brings  out  a  good  story  from  James 
N.  Wilson  who  is  here  with  a  lot  of  trotters  from  Michigan. 
He  said:      "That  reminds  me  of  a  successful  job  I  saw  at  a 

to  vn  in  Michigan  not   many  years  ago   where started  a 

brown  gelding  one  day  aod  won  his  race  am  the  very  next 
day  hestarted  the  same  gelding  in  a  stallion  iace,  won  and 
got  the  money,  too."  When  asked  how  he  worked  the  racket 
the  second  day,  James  said  he  simply  put  on  a  support  and 
the  judges  didn't  get  on  to  the  racket. — New  York  Review. 

The  first  ringer  of  the  year  has  been  discovered  unusually 
early  in  the  season,  for  it  is  now  regarded  as  certain  that  the 
gelding  that  started  during  the  Parkway  Driving  Club  meet- 
ing at  Brooklyn,  N.  Y.,  last  week,  under  the  name  of  Domi- 
no, is  really  Volunteer  Prince,  2:24}.  The  attempt  to  ring 
this  horse  was  a  very  awkward  one,  for  anyone  of  common 
sense  would  hardly  expect  to  successfully  rin?  a  horse  that 
had  four  white  ankles,  as  Volunteer  Prince  has.  There  are 
ramors  that  the  identity  of  one  of  the  other  horses  that 
started  during  the  same  meeting  is  not  as  clearly  established 
as  it  should  be,  but  no  definite  charges  have  yet  been  made. 

At  Cornwall,  New  York,  May  31,  John  A.  Goldsmith 
piloted  another  Guy  Wilkes  to  victory  in  a  field  of  eight 
candidates  for  2:30  honors  He  won  the  first  heat,  lost  the 
second  and  captured  the  third  and  fourth  heats;  time,  2:3U, 
2:27$,  2:28$  and  2:30.  The  trotter  that  did  this  so  early  in

Notwithstanding  the  unfavorable  business  condition, 
thousands  of  trottiog-bred  animals  have,  within  the  last  few 
months,  been  forced  upon  the  market.  Many  people  who 
owned  them  were  compelled  to  sell,  just  as  people  who  raise 
grain  have  to  sell ;  just  as  merchants  must  sell  their  stocks. 
Many  sold,  too,  on  account  of  the  expense  of  keeping.  One 
cannot  store  away  a  valuable  colt  or  filly  as  he  would  a  bale 
of  cotton  or  a  hogshead  of  sugar.  If  it  does  nothing  else,  it 
eats,  and  its  eating  costs  money.  No  commodity  will  bear 
crowding  upon  the  market  in  remarkably  dull  times,  as  trot- 
ting horses  have  been  crowded  upon  the  market  without 
bringing  down  prices.  Bui  on  the  other  hand,  people  who 
have  bought  meritorous  horses  during  the  hard  times  will 
reap  a  handsome  profit  in  the  end. 

_  Is  New  York  last  week  a  sound  two-year-old  filly  by  Wil- 
liam L.,  the  sire  of  Ax  tell,  brought  only  $35  at  auction,  and 
a  little  later  there  was  led  into  the  ring  a  stallion  ten  years  t  - 
old  that  has  a  record  of  2:24}.  This  was  Remsen,  by  Mans- 
field, 2:26},  dam  by  Volunteer.  Mansfield  is  something  of  a 
sire  and  in  respect  of  breeding  is  first-class,  at  least  on  the 
side  of  his  dam,  he  being  by  Messenger  Duroc  and  out  of 
Green  Mountain  Maid.  Remsen,  with  all  his  pedigree  and 
his  2:24}  record,  brought  only  $250,  A  little  later  a  stallion 
called  Al  Hassan  was  offered.  He  is  by  Sultan,  2:24,  dam  by 
SimmoDs,  2:29 ;  second  dam  the  dam  of  McKinney,  2:11}. 
He  was  inclined  to  blindness  and  when  his  imperfect  sight 
was  noted  nobody  wanted  him  ;  he  was  finally  sold  for  $80. 
All  these  things  show  that  the  tendency  of  the  horse  market 
is  in  the  right  direction.  A  few  years  ago  animals  of  the 
character  described  above  would  have  brought  ten  times  as 
much  money  as  they  do  at  present,  for  then  pedigree  was  the 
first  thing  considered,  but  now  the  thing  wanted  is  individu- 
ality and  pedigree  combined.  Recent  sales  demonstrate  that 
speed  in  trotters  or  pacers  is  |n  good  demand. 

Chatting  on  the  subject  of  trotting  horses  the  other  day, 
Frank  Fuller  remarked  that  there  were  many  instances  on 
record  where  a  trainer  had  given  up  as  hopeless  a  horse  that 
in  other  hands  had  proved  a  useful  raoer.  Some  trainers,  he 
said,  had  the  tact  of  getting  the  hang  of  certain  horses  of  er- 
ratic tempers  that  in  other  hands  would  prove  utter  failures. 
This  talk  called  to  mind  the  fact,  says  a  writer  in  the  Spirit 
of  the  Times,  that  once  upon  a  time  that  wizard  of  the  sulky, 
Ed  Geers,  gave  up  a  horse  as  being  of  no  account  that  after- 
ward earned  a  record  of  2:11.  Other  good  trainers  have  had 
similar  experiences.  There  is  a  case  right  in  Nashville 
worthy  of  mention.  Blontonian,  three-year-old  record  2:22 
on  a  half-mile  track,  has  persistently  refused  to  trot  since 
she  made  her  record.  Joe  Mooney  worked  hard  with  her  an 
entire  season,  but  finally  had  to  give  her  up  as  worthless. 
Others  tried  their  hands  with  no  better  success.  Three 
weeks  ago  she  was  given  over  to  Gill  Curry,  aud  to-day  she 
is  going  strong  and  true,  having  already  shown  him  a 
mile  in  2:25  without  being  driven  out.  Notwithstanding 
the  fact  that  she  has  been  at  different  times  in  the  hands  of 
experienced  trainers,  men  noted  for  their  ability  to  get  all 
out  of  a  horse  that  was  in  him,  she  positively  refused  to  strike 
a  trot  till  Curry  got  up  behind  her.  The  moment  he  took 
hold  of  the  lines  Blontonian  was  a  difierent  animal.  Curry 
has  every  confidence  in  her  ability  to  trot  fast  this  season, 
and  she  is  now  going  as  steady  as  clockwork.

in  the  Garden  City.  

Ladas,  the  Derby  and  2,000  Guineas,  winner  and  still  nn- 
beater,  has  been  struck  ont  of  his  Ascot  engagements.  He 
will  be  given  a  substantial  rest. 

Bellicoso  got  into  a  pocket  at  Hawthorne  last  Tuesday, 
and  did  not  finish  one-two-three.  Toby  won,  Whyota  fin- 
ishing second  and  Lillian  C.  third. 

John  Morris  has  sold  to  Eugene  Leigh  Clinton,  the  Bash- 
ford  Manor  colt  that  turned  the  track  at  Latonia  June  2d  at

Flying  Dutchman,  a  two-year-old  colt,  won  the  Juvenile 
Stakes  at  Hawthorne  last  Monday  in  1:02J.  This  is  a  great 
performance  over  such  a  slow  course. 

The  Breeders  and  Horsemen's  Association  is  fast  becoming 
a  powerful  racing  organization,  the  members  at  present  con- 
trolling over  250  head  of  thoroughbreds. 

Charley  Weber  is  being  sought  by  several  leading  own- 
ers to  ride  for  them  during  the  racing  season  of  1895.  One 
offered  $5,000  for  first  call  on  his  services. 

Barney  Schrelber's  horses,  The  Kitten  and  Zampost,

With  the  exception  of  perhaps  ten  horses  every  galloper 
that  participated  in  the  recent  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  As- 
sociation meeting  here  will  be  found  at  San  Jose. 

James  Galway,  of  the  Preakness  stud,  yesterday  sold  his 
four-year-old  mare  Lustre,  by  Linden — Gleam,  to  the  Gough 
Acres  Stable,  in  whose  colors  she  will  hereafter  race. 


Mr.  J.  E.  Kittson  failed  to  lease  the  Rufus  Lisle  place, 
owing  to  the  fact  that  Mrs.  Lisle  could  not  find  a  home  in 
town  to  suit  her.  This  week,  Mr.  Kitton  has  leased  Fair- 
lawn,  the  splendid  place  located  at  the  end  of  North  Broad- 
way, and  will  move  his  stock  to  it  right  away. — Live  Stock 
Record,  Lexington,  Ky. 

James  B.  C'has-:  recently  purchased  of  Dr.  C.  W.  Aby 
through  Thomas  G.  Jones  the  chestnut  two-year-old  colt  by 
imp.  Greenback — Leverette  and  the  yearling  brown  filly, 
sister  to  the  one  mentioned  above.  Leverette  (by  Lever),  the 
dam,  threw  those  good  performers,  Lloyd  Daly,  Lonelay  and 
Larghetto.     Terms  private. 

Chris  Smith,  the  one-time  plunging  wonder  of  the  West- 
ern betting  rings,  and  owner  of  Yo  Tambien  and  Maid  Marion, 
has  a  Springbok  colt  called  Prince  Carl,  with  which  he  ex- 
pects to  win  the  American  Derby  at  Chicago,  which  is  to  be 
run  on  the  23d  insL  The  colt  has  shown  so  well  that  Smith 
has  telegraphed  on  here  to  try  and  secure  the  services  of  Sam 
Doggett  to  ride  the  colt  in  the  race. 

The  eleven  Maxim  yearlings  at  the  Rancho  del  Paso  sale 
recently  in  New  York  brought  $18,100,  an  average  of  $,1645.- 
45.  Fourteen  Salvators  brought  $30,200,  an  average  ol 
$2,157  14.  Twenty  Sir  Modreds  fetched  $29,085,  an  average 
of  $1,454  25.  These  were  the  first  of  Maxims  yet  sold  in 
America.  The  Salvators  did  not  bring  nearly  as  much  as  last 
season.     The  average  of  the  whole  sale  was  $1,124. 


Lady  Diamond,  of  the  Baldwin  stable,  won  a  five-furlong 
dash  at  Latonia  on  Monday  last  in  the  fast  time  of  l:01f.  She 
is  said  to  be  the  very  best  two-year-old  in  the  string,  and  is  a 
sister  to  Lady  Bess.  

The  steeplechasers  Ballarat  and  San  Jose,  owned  by  ex- 
Mayor  Nolan,  of  Troy,  were  be  shipped  to  the  Sheepsbead 
Bay  track  on  Saturday  of  last  week  to  fill  their  engagements 
at  the  coming  meeting.     

Harry  Corbett  is  back  from  New  York,  where  he  and 
"Overcoat  Jack"  Atkins  were  making  a  book.  All  reports 
to  the  contrary,  Harry  says  they  have  more  than  held  their 
own  in  a  financial  way.   

Chevalier  rode  Maryland  in  a  winner  at  odds  of  15  to  1 
at  Hawthorne  on  the  7th  inst.  On  the  same  date  Charley 
Weber  rode  three  winners  at  odds  of  6  to  1,  2h  and  even 
money.     He  rode  Percy  in  second  on  the  same  date. 

Fatality,  a  member  of  the  McCafferty  string,  will  not  be 
raced  until  late  in  the  season.  While  being  shipped  up  from 
New  Orleans  she  received  such  a  bruising  and  shaking  up 
that  it  was  thought  best  to  let  her  run  out  for  a  time. 

Lazzarone  will  noi  be  seen  in  the  Chicago  Derby  at  Haw- 
thorne. He  is  to  start  at  Latonia  in  the  Himyar  stakes, 
which  is  to  be  rnn  on  the  same  day  as  the  Derby.  Pearl 
Song  and  Cash  Day  are  certain  starters  in  the  Hawthorne 
event.  

C.  Bruce  Lowe,  the  popular  Australian  authority  on  the 
thoroughbred  horse,  leaves  Los  Angeles  for  the  East  in  time 
to  see  the  Suburban  Handicap  run  at  Sheepshead  Bay  on  the 
20th  of  Jnne.  Imp.  Stromboli,  Mr.  Lowe's  famous  horse,  is 
in  that  event  at  105  pounds. 

Buck  &  Johnson  have  secured  the  betting  privileges  at 
Washington  Park,  and  they  announce  that  all  books  could  go 
at  the  big  meeting  for  $100  a  day,  with  slates,  tickets,  sheets, 
etc.,  furnished  free.  It  is  thought  that  over  a  hundred  firms 
will  do  business  at  Washington  Park  this  season. 

The  programme  for  the  first  day  of  the  San  Jose  meeting, 
which  begins  to-day,  is  a  most  attractive  one  of  five  races. 
There  are  two  five  and  one-half  furlong  dashes,  a  five  furlong 
dash  for  two-year-olds,  a  six  and  one-half  furlong  handicap 
while  a  mile  selling  race  winds  op  the  day's  sport. 


Domino  is  still  the  king.  Last  Tuesday  at  Morris  Park  he 
beat  Henry  of  Navarre  a  head  for  the  classic  Withers  Stake, 
running  one  mile  in  1:40  flat,  carrying  122  pounds.  It  was 
the  famous  Himyar  cult's  first  appearance  this  season,  and  he 
was  rated  aloog  in  the  rear  until  the  head  of  the  homestretch 
was  reached.  

OryDjLE  Appleby  reports  the  Merriwa  foals  around  San 
Jose  the  finest  youngsters  he  ever  saw— and  he  has  seen 
many  in  his  day.  The  Todhunters  of  Sacramento  have  four 
Merriwa  sucklings  that  are  the  admiration  of  all  who  have 
seen  them-  The  yearling  from  Lizzie  Idle  is  pronounced  a 
coming  crackerjack. 


The  two  good-looking  colts,  Sport  McAllister  and  Zam- 
loch  (and  good  performers  as  well),  are  peculiarly  bred,  being 
by  imp.  Friar  Tuck  (son  of  Hermit),  dam  by  Indicator  (son 
of  the  sire  of  pacers,  Signal  £327);  second  dam  by  Langford, 
and  thoroughbred  back  of  that.  Signal  never  sired  anything 
but  fast  pacers,  and  was  by  Sunday's  Rob  Roy,  dam  untraced. 
Is  it  possible  that  this  is  the  way  fast  gallopers  should  be  bred? 
By  a  thoroughbred  horse  and  from  a  mare  by  a  standard 
pacer !  

In  a  reeent  race  at  Morris  Park  Daric,  by  imp.  Darebin — 
Trade  Dollar,  won,  with  the  Darebin-Sabrina  colt  second  and 
California,  by  imp.  Midlothian — Misfortune,  third.  This  was 
a  case  of  California  one-two-three,  and  all  were  bred  at 
Rancho  del  Paso.  In  the  next  race  Sir  Walter  and  Sir  Ex- 
cess, both  bred  at  Rancho  del  Paso,  ran  one-two.  In  still  an- 
other event  Waltzer  and  Sir  Galahad,  respectively  by  Dare- 
bin  and  Sir  Modred,  ran  second  and  third  in  the    Tremont 


Peter  Weber  tells  of  a  curious  experience  of  Secretary 
Sass  in  the  East  a  few  years  ago.  Despairing  of  filling  the 
shorter  races  with  good  entries,  he  opened  a  race  of  three 
miles.  Many  horsemen  declared  there  wouldn't  be  three  en- 
tries for  it,  and  laughed  over  the  idea.  Strange  to  relate, 
there  were  sixteen  starters,  and  in  the  lot  several  horses  that 
had  the  reputation  of  not  being  able  to  go  six  fnrlongs.  After 
that  there  were  many  long-distance  races,  which  drew  by 
crowds  and  filled  well,  and  what  is  more,  the  horses  that 
"  could  not  go  over  five  furlongs"  won  in  most  instances.  It 
is  the  pace  that  kills.       

Lady  Fa yre  (just  before  the  last  race) — "I  think  it  is 
excessively  cruel,  Pussy;  that  poor  horse  will  be  raced  to 
death.  I  believe  be  has  been  running  in  quite  every  race; 
indeed,  I  have  heard  them  betting  about  him  every  time  a 
race  has  been  run.  It  is  absolute  cruelty  to  animals."  Capt. 
the  Hon.  "Pussy"  Chesterfield — "Good  gwacious!  Every 
race!  Whatever  horse  do  you  mean?  Lady  Fayre  (it  was 
her  first  appearance  at  Sandown  or  any  other  meeting,  please 
bear  in  mind) — "Why,  Pussy,  that  wretched  and  unfortunate 
animal,  Bar  One."     (Collapse  of  the  Hon.  Pussy.) 


Ly  the  odds  offered  against  the  American  Derby  candidates 
may  be  taken  as  a  guide  to  the  order  in  which  they  will  fin- 
ally be  placed  at  the  finish,  Domino  and  Senator  Grady  will 
be  the  first  two,  the  figures  against  them  being  at  6  to  1. 
Then  comes  Dobbins  at  8,  and  Lucky  Dog,  the  Californian  at 
10.  At  12  Cash  Day,  and  Matt  Byrnes  follow,  and  after  them 
at  15  are  Hornpipe,  Prince  Carl  and  Rey  El  Santa  Anita. 
Ohio  Bell,  Potentate,  Pearl  Song  and  Despot  are  at  twenties, 
and  the  rest  at  from  30  to  5,000  to  1,  Coroner,  Cherokee,  Gore 
Jay,  Miss  Bettie  S.,  Narcissa  and  Shenandoah  Boy  being  at 
the  latter,  while  Pony  Bob  is  the  extreme  tail-ender  at  6000 
lol.  

The  following  appears  to  be  quite  timely  :  At  the  Liver- 
pool races,  on  Cup  day,  a  gang  of  Welchers  carried  on  a  roar- 
ing business  in  the  outer  ring.  They  became  painfully  con- 
scious, however,  that  they  would  not  be  able  to  decamp  with 
toe  money.  It  was  clear  that  their  customers,  mostly  rough- 
looking  operators,  did  not  intend  to  be  trifled  with.  Just 
before  the  races  two  detectives  made  their  appearance  and 
arrested  the  Welchers  for  ready-money  betting.  They  were 
treated  very  roughly  and  made  to  carry  their  own  bags  to  a 
cab,  and  were  driven  off  to  Liverpool.  Great  were  the 
backers'  chagrin  when  they  saw  their  property  seized  by  the 
police,  but  they  positively  howled  when  they  found,  too  la'.e, 
that  the  detectives  were  the  Welchers'  confederates. 


"The  great  secret  of  riding,"  says  Fred  Taral,  "is  to 
maintain  a  rythmic  movement  with  that  of  your  horse.  In 
other  words  keep  perfect  time.  That  lessens  the  weight 
greatly  upon  him.  At  the  finish  especially  the  jockey  should 
be  away  forward  on  his  horse — on  top  of  his  head,  so  to 
speak,  so  as  to  minimize  his  weight  on  the  horse.  It  must  be 
re  nembered  that  a  horse's  head  and  shoulders  are  his  strong- 
est parts,  and  the  center  of  his  back  the  weakest.  Conse- 
quently when  a  jockey  is  away  over  his  horse  his  weight  is 
the  lightest  and  he  is  helping  his  nag  the  most.  A  perfect 
symphony  of  movement,  however,  must  be  observed,  or  else 
the  jockey's  weight  at  the  crucial  crisis  will  bear  down  like 
a  too  on  the  poor  racer." 

Harry  Moore,  a  young  San  Franciscan,  some  months  ago 
bought  for  $05  a  good-looking  mare  at  a  sale  of  trotters,  the 
mare  being  represented  as  by  Acrobat,  dam  Biddy,  by  Rifle- 
man. Further  than  this  her  pedigree  was  enshrouded  in  the 
mist  of  the  unknowns.  By  accident  a  member  of  the  staff  of 
this  paper,  running  over  a  volume  gotten  out  in  1872,  secured 
the  full  pedigree  of  Biddy.  She  is  by  Rifleman,  dam  Kate 
(Jessamine  Porter),  by  imp.  Sovereigo,  and  back  of  this  the 
breeding  is  royal.  Kate  was  the  dam  of  Nettie  and  Lizzie 
Brown  (full  sisters,  by  the  way,  of  Biddy),  and  they  were 
famous  in  their  day  on  the  race  course  and  at  the  stud. 
Nettie  Brown  was  the  dam  of  those  celebrities  of  the  turf, 
Ella  Doane  and  May  D.,  while  Lizzie  Brown  threw  Lizzie  J., 
Gereter  and  Elaine.  Acrobat,  sire  of  Mr.  Moore's  mare,  was 
one  of  Norfolk^  best  6ons. 


A  St.  Louis  correspondent  wrote  the  Horseman  as  follows : 
"  California's  other  heroine,  the  once  fleet  Geraldine,  ran 
again  here  yesterday  and  failed  lamentably  to  show  her  wonted 
form.  This  nine-year-old  mare  has  evidently  become  sour 
and  track-weary  in  the  sere  and  yellow  leaf  of  old  age,  and 
Porter  Ashe  would  perhaps  be  in  pocket  if  he  ceases  any  fur- 
ther attempts  to  race  the  daughter  of  Grinstead  and  relegates 
her  to  the  stud  paddock.  Porter  Ashe,  by  the  way,  has  had 
hard  luck  at  this  meeting.  Thermidor,  another  one  of  bis 
horses,  has  been  so  bad  with  the  catarrhal  fever  that  he  was 
thought  to  be  dying,  and  his  other  horses  are  not  up  to  the 
mark  in  point  of  condition.  The  ex-lawyer  of  the  Pacific 
Slope  will  do  well  to  re-organlze  his  stable  by  a  rest  either 
here  or  at  St.  Paul,  where  I  believe  he  intends  to  take  bis 
string." 

A  hatch  has  been  arranged  to  take  place  June  16  at  Mor- 
ris Park  between  the  two-year-old  fillies  Gulta  Percha  and 
Butterflies,  owned  respectively  by  Messrs.  Morris  and  Gideon 
&  Daly.  The  distance  will  be  six  furlongs,  the  weights  115 
pounds  each,  tne  stakes  $1,000  a  side,  and  the  New  York 
Jockey  Club  will  add  $2,500,  the  winner  to  take  all ;  good 
day  and  good  track.  The  race  will  be  a  fast  one,  as  both  fillies 
have  run  five  furlongs  in  time  faster  than  one  minute. 
Matches  and  rumors  of  matches  are  at  present  keenly  dis- 
cussed by  turfmen  and  race  goers  who  follow  the  fortunes  of 
the  thoroughbred.  Fred  Foster  now  denies  that  he  challenged 
Gideon  &  Daly  to  a  contest  between  Dr.  Rice  and  Ramapo, 
but  admits  having  said  he  would  like  to  see  the  two  meet  in 
a  sweepstakes  with  Taral  up  on  Dr.  Rice.  The  Latonia 
Jockey  Club  is  trying  hard  to  arrange  a  race  between  Yo 
Tambien,  Ida  Pickwick,  Ray  S.,  Faraday  and  Ducat,  the  five 
handicap  horses  which  have  so  far  shown  the  best  form  and 
are  now  racing  in  the  West.  They  ask  the  owner  of  each 
horse  to  subscribe  $500,  and  agree  to  add  $2,500  to  the  stake. 
Matches  of  these  kinds — when  arranged  at  weight  for  age  or 
on  other  satisfactory  basis  and  run  and  won  on  their  merits — 
are  great  aids  to  the  cause  of  racing. — Horseman. 

Work  is  being  rapidly  pushed  forward  on  the  new  track, 
which  is  the  property  of  the  Chicago  Fair  Grounds  Associa- 
tion, and  is  located  on  an  eighty-acre  tract  lying  just  west  of 
the  corporate  limits  of  Chicago.  George  V.  Hankins,  who 
is  the  ruling  spirit  of  the  enterprise,  says  the  track  will  be 
ready  for  business  after  the  close  of  Washington  Park  meet- 
ing. An  amicable  arrangement  as  to  dates  will  undoubtedly 
be  made  with  Hawthorne.they  most  probably  being  a  day-in- 
and-out  system,  each  track  to  race  three  days  a  week.  The 
stakes  and  parses  will  be  liberal,  $500  being  6et  at  the  lowest 
limit  for  the  over-night  events.  The  stand  will  be  a  mam- 
moth structure  capable  of  seating  17,000  people.  The  betting- 
ring  will  be  122  by  256  feet,  and  the  stables  will  accommo- 
date 800  horses.  The  track  is  one  mile  in  length,  and  will 
be  of  black  loam,  which  will  have  a  depth  of  thirty-six  to 
forty-eight  inches.  Thejfacilities  for  reaching  the  grounds 
will  be  first-class.  The  Wisconsin  Central  will  run  trains 
every  fifteen  minutes,  the  Chicago  and  Northwestern  will  do 
the  same,  and  the  Metropolitan  elevated  aDd  Madison  street- 
car lines,  the  latter  connecting  with  the  Cicero  and  Proviso 
electric  roads,  will  make  valuable  feeders.  The  official  slate 
has  been  made  up  as  follows  :  Presiding  judge,  Colonel  Lewis 
Clark ;  secretary, Joseph  A.  Murphy;  starter,  Richard  Dwyer. 
— Horseman. 

A  strong  effort  is  being  made  on  the  part  of  bookmakers 
and  certain  influential  horse-owners,  says  the  New  York 
Tribune,  to  have  the  Jockey  Club  abolish  the  system  of  1-2- 
3  betting  in  French  pools.  It  would  be  a  serious  error  for 
the  Jockey  Club  to  consent  to  do  this.  There  is  no  doubt 
that  to  the  unprofessional  race-goer  (and  really  he  is  of  the 
class  that  supports  racing),  the  1-2-3  French  pool-betting  is 
the  most  popular  reform  the  new  Jockey  Club  has  effected. 
Of  course,  it  is  well  known  that  certain  bookmakers,  and 
some  horse-owners  who  have  made  much  money  in  racing, 
are  extremely  anxious  to  return  to  the  old  system.  One 
bookmaker  found  the  1-2-3  business  so  profitable  that  he  was 
actually  embarrassed  to  know  what  to  do  with  the  money. 
One  of  the  largest  banks  in  Philadelphia  refused  to  accept 
any  more  of  his  deposits  until  an  investigation  was  made  and 
the  source  of  his  immense  income  explained.  In  the  French 
pools  there  is  some  return  in  the  1-2-3  betting  on  every  horse, 
even  the  most  prominent  favorite.  In  the  1-2  3  books  there 
are  always  some  horses  that  the  bookmakers  will  lay  no  odds 
against.  In  past  seasons  a  great  deal  of  dissatisfaction  has 
been  caused  by  the  eccentric  running  of  many  horses.  The 
owner  has  said  quietly  to  his  friends  in  some  cases  that  the 
horse  was  in  for  work,  or  that  he  was  "short  of  work,"  but  in 
many  instances  the  fault  could  be  traced  to  the  full-place 
bookmakers,  who  profited  largely  on  the  horse's  failure  to  be 
in  the  first  three.  Many  trustworthy  bookmakers  object  to  1- 
2-3  bettting  in  the  books.  They  claim  that  it  encourages 
fraud,  and  it  does.  The  Jockey  Club  did  a  wise  act  when  it 
stopped  the  1-2  3  books,  and  it  ought  not  to  be  bulldozed  into 
allowing  them  to  return. 

So  extraordinary  has  been  the  success  of  the  Musket 
blood  in  Australasia  that  negotiations  are  in  progress  with  a 
view  to  securing  one  of  the  best  Musket  horses  to  s'and  in 
England  next  season,  says  the  London  Sportsman.  The  horse 
in  question  is  Trenton,  by  Musket,  out  of  Fraility,  by  Golds- 
borough,  out  of  Flora  M'lvor,  and  he  is  the  property  of  Mr. 
W.  R.  Wilson,  of  the  St.  Albans  Stnd.  He  is  described  as 
"far  away  the  best  sire  in  Australasia,"  and  at  the  late  Syd- 
ney meeting  his  stock  won  five  races,  including  the  Sydney 
Cup,  amountiug  to  £4,000.  He  has  also  got  in  three  years 
two  winners  of  the  greatest  two-year-old  race  in  those  Colonies, 
viz.,  the  Maribyrnoog  Plate,  worth  nearly  2,000  guineas,  and 
his  son,  Dreamland,  I  am  assured,  stands  out  for  the  coming 
Australian  Derby  as  much  as  Ladas  does  for  ours.  A  well- 
known  breeder  in  England  writes  me  :  "  Trenton  should  cross 
equally  well  with  the  unsound  Xewminster,  irritable  Blzck- 
lock  and  soft  Stockwell  strains  that  compose  our  present  fash- 
ionable blood.  His  pedigree  is  made  up  of  the  stoutest  and 
best  strains."  1  shall  be  much  interested  in  the  upshot  of 
this  matter,  for  without  entirely  concurring  with  the  above 
sweeping  condemnation  of  our  fashionable  blood  as  at  present 
existing,  we  must  all  of  us  admit  that  some  of  the  Musket  and 
Fisherman  hardiness  and  stamina  is  very  much  wanted  here, 
and  La  Fleche  and  Memoir  are  splendid  examples  of  what 
such  blood  produces  when  allied  with  that  of  St.  Simon.  Mr 
Wilson  on  his  part  has  seen  the  value  of  St.  Simon  blood 
from  an  Australian  point  of  view,  and  it  is  in  the  hope  of 
breeding  La  Fleches  and  Memoirs  that  he  has  brought  Bill 
of  Portland  to  mate  with  his  Musket  mares.  If  Trenton  is 
to  come  over  to  this  country  I  shall  be  one  of  the  first  to  hear 
of  it,  and  will  at  once  advise  my  readers."  „

SPECIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Senator  Voorhees  in  his  remarks  in  the  Senate  Chamber 
a  few  days  ago  on  the  late  Gov.  Stanford,  touched  on  the 
characteristic  which  excited  my  warmest  admiration,  and 
which  I  have  oftentimes  expressed.  That  was  his  complete 
manhood  untainted  by  the  possession  of  immense  wealth 
untarnished  by  having  thousands  of  men  under  his  command' 
Wealth  did  not  a  fleet  his  friendliness  for  the  poor,  power  had 
no  influence  to  warp  the  kind  nature  or  leave  a  trace  of  arbi_ 
trariness  in  the  disposition  which  was  overflowing  with  kind, 
ness  to  all  who  were  deserving.  It  would  be  beyond  the 
power  of  the  most  gifted  writer  to  portray  all  of  the  good 
qualities  he  possessed,  as  one  man  could  not  possibly  see  him 
in  all  the  positions  of  life.  Senator  Voorhees  met  him  in  one 
position,  an  exalted  station,  when  a  certain  line  of  attributes 
would  be  conspicuous.  Associating  with  fellow  senators,  the 
companion  of  the  great  men  of  the  country,  he  gains  by  the 
comparison;  high  as  the  standard  for  measurement,  he  was 
fully  on  a  level,  in  some  respects  superior,  which  is  cheer- 
fully admitted  by  the  man  who  eulogizes.  Had  the  distin- 
guished Senator  met  him  in  other  walks  of  life,  his  admira- 
tion would  have  been  increased.  In  sunshine  or  shadow, 
every  picture  the  same — lovable  and  admirable  qualities 
reflected,  so  few  reprehensible  traits,  so  hard  to  discover  one 
Haw  even,  that  the  portrait  could  be  catalogued  a  perfect 
man,  or,  at  least,  near  perfection,  that  its  fellow  could  not  be 
found  among  men  in  the  same  ranks. 

That  immense  wealth  and  extended  power  did  not  leave  a 
slighttrace  of  the  effects  which  are  nearly  universal  among 
people  who  are  thus  favored  by  fortune  increases  the  admir- 
ation. Passing  that  ordeal  without  loss  of  the  love,  admir- 
ation and  respect  of  his  acquaintances  in  the  slightest  degree, 
never  showing  by  ivord,  tone  or  gesture  that  he  was  influenced 
by  the  millions  he  controlled  or  the  leadership  awarded, 
were  proofs  of  the  sterling  qualities  of  mind  and  heart  which 
could  not  have  been  offered  had  these  been  lacking.  Senator 
Voorhees  from  his  place  in  the  Senate  said:  ''Before  taking 
my  seat  I  desire  to  say  that  Leland  Stanford  is  the  only  very 
rich  man  I  have  known  whose  simplicity  and  sublimity  of 
character  was  not  touched  or  debased  by  wealth.  His  was 
the  same  simple,  kindly,  devoted  nature  that  exists  elsewhere 
without  the  corrupting  influences  of  wealth." 

Gracefully  expressed  and  without  a  question  of  the  sincerity 
with  which  the  words  are  spoken,  so  nearly  my  estimate  of 
his  character  that  I  may  be  pardoned  for  quoting  from  an 
obituary  which  appeared  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
soon  after  his  death: 

"The  millions  he  possessed,  the  high  position  he  held,  cast 
no  glamourie  over  me,  but  the  knowledge  that  boundless 
wealth,  prominent  station,  commanding  influence,  domina- 
tion over  thousands  of  people,  had  not  the  power  to  carry 
him  a  single  degree  from  a  manly  course,  increased  the  ad- 
miration, implanted  such  a  feeling  of  respect  and  esteem  that 
any  words  I  can  use  to  portray  that  feeling  appear  inadequate, 
have  so  small  a  force  that  I  am  ashamed  of  the  weakness  of 
the  portraiture.  *    *    I  never   heard  him  express  a 

gloomy  thought.  His  conceptions  of  Deity  were  of  a  benign 
and  beneficient  governing  power,  and  his  idea  of  life  was  to 
do  the  most  good  and  increase  the  happiness  of  all  living 
creatures." 

I  thank  Senator  Voorhees  for  the  tribute  to  his  memory 
when  others  are  using  harsh  words.  A  character  which,  if 
thoroughly  known ,  would  exact  esteem  and  veneration  so  long 
as  records  last  and  history  is  not  a  thing  of  the  past.  The 
"  simple,  kindly,  devoted  nature,"  that  was  proof  against  all 
temptations,  a  model,  which  if  patterned  after  among  the 
men  of  his  class,  would  make  this  world  a  brighter  and  hap- 
pier home  for  all. 

I  have  oftentimes  thought  that  were  it  possible  to  delineate 
Leland  Stanford  as  he  was  would  be  a  greater  boon  toman- 
kind  than  the  establishment  of  a  score  of  colleges.  Who 
could  do  it?  If  in  a  sermon,  Jeremy  Taylor,  perhaps,  the 
nearest  approach  to  the  capacity  which  would  result  from  a 
kindred  spirit.  FieldiDg,  among  novelists,  with  a  better  sub- 
ject than  Squire  Allworthy  for  his  inimitable  power  of  por- 
traiture. Walter  Scott  at  his  best  days  could  have  done  some 
of  the  phases  of  his  character  justice ;  of  the  later  generation 
of  authors  Thackeray  the  most  likely  to  reproduce  the 
"  kiudly  nature,"  Dickeus  some  of  the  other  features.  Scott 
in  poetry  could  picture  the  chivalrous  side  of  his  character 
ana  Burns  the  "  tendei  and  true."  No  necessity  for  painting 
if  even  a  Raphael  guided  the  brush.  It  does  not  require  any 
lining  by  artist,  or  sketched  with  all  the  genius  of  a  Shake- 
speare to  add  to  my  veneration,  or  to  increase  the  fervency  of 
my  feelings  of  regret  over  his  loss;  but  those  who  were  not 
favored  with  such  a  degree  of  intimacy,  as  it  was  my  good 
fortune  to  enjoy,  would  have  an  exemplar  which  could  not 
fail  to  he  beneficial. 

Since  the  death  of  Governor  Stanford  I  could  not  summon 
resolution  to  visit  Palo  Alto.  There  have  been  sad  thoughts 
in  the  past  year,  still  more  depressing  among  the 
-r.-ii.  -  ofvj  many  Icippy  hours.  \n  old  age  advailC68  loss  of 
friends  presses  with  redoubled  force.  The  young  lose  from  a 
constantly  increasing  circle  ;  the  old  from  one  that  is  uarrow- 
ing  and  shrinking  until  the  radius  is  scarcely  more  than  a 
hpan.  With  the  former  it  is  the  loss  of  a  flower  from  the 
pater  re,  a  shrub  from  the  lawn,  one  sapling  in  the  pleasure 
grounds,  the  place  ready  for  a  successor;  in  the  other  case 
the  fall  of  a  full-grown  tree  in  the  park,  or  one  that  has 
shaded  the  home  fir  vear  after  year,  the  roots  sunk  so  deeply 
that  the  overthrow  lei  ■  that  can  never  nourish  an- 

other. Ag.iin  |el  me  offer  my  heartfelt  thanks  to  Senator 
Voorhees  for  his  defence  of  the  memory  of  a  man  endowed 
with  the  "simple,  kindly,  devoted  nature"  to  a  degree  which 
should  compel  universal  admiration.

TAKING  UP  THE  REFRAIN. — The  following,  an  editorial 
cut  from  a  late  number  of  the  Exarainer,is  an  echo,  if  faint,  of 
what  has  been  rehearsed  in  this  department  very  many  times- 
Dearly  given  up  hopes  that  good  could  result  from  the 
agitation,  and  that  nothing  was  likely  to  avert  the  danger. 
There  is  a  singular  apathy  on  the  part  of  journals,  which 
should  be  the  first  to  pronounce  warnings,  and  though  there 
up    ij m<  taifaicg  (be  peril  which  encircles  the  turf 

and   track,  there  is  a  lack  of  boldness,  or  something  else,  to 


sound  the  notes  of  alarm.  But  now  that  the  secular  press  is 
awakening  to  the  situation,  and  that  the  ''big  dailies"  are 
lending  their  aid,  there  are  far  better  prospects  of  saving  the 
11  royal  sport,"  and  also  the  more  plebian  amusement — accord- 
ing to  some — of  trotting.  "  Horse-racing  is,  or  at  least  may 
be,  a  noble  sport,  but  betting  on  horse-races  is  not."  WTith 
betting  the  main  point  in  the  game,  deadly  opposition  is  sure 
to  result.  The  gambling  feature  being  so  decidedly  the  over- 
shadowing motive,  it  will  not  be  long  till  an  outraged  moral 
sentiment  will  insist  on  abolition.  With  betting  as  an  inci- 
dent, a  sort  of  an  occasional  fillip  to  spirits  which  require 
some  excitement  to  restore  the  spring,  the  opposition  will  be 
restricted  to  a  few.  When  racing  is  restored  to  its  old  stand- 
ing, a  veritable  sport  whereby  all  save  bigots  find  it  a  welcome 
recreation,  there  will  be  small  danger.  Provided  that  isdone 
in  time.  It  will  not  do  to  await  the  first  motion  of  the  ava- 
lanche. The  grade  near  which  it  resta  is  so  steep  that  once 
under  way  there  will  be  no  power  than  can  control  the  move- 
ment. 

England  has  claimed,  and  on  indisputable  grounds,  to  be 
the  nursery  of  race  horses  and  the  school  which  has  brought 
them  to  present  perfection.  It  has  perfected  racing  in  one 
sense;  cherished  its  worst  enemy  in  another.  Taking  the 
best  blood  of  the  countries  where  horses  were  reared,  and  mix- 
ing them  with  judgment,  the  grandest  specimens  of  the  equine 
race  have  been  produced.  There  was  intense  rivalry  to  breed 
the  best.  From  the  time  of  the  first  importation  of  Turks  and 
Barbs,  noble  and  gentle  struggled  to  produce  the  fleetest. 
Prior  to  the  racing  days,  before  King  James  gave  such 
encouragement  to  the  turf,  while  a  liny  silver  bell  was  the 
only  trophy,  emulation  was  brisk.  Plenty  of  argumentation 
before  the  test  on  Smithfield  common.  A  proffered  wager 
has  long  been  considered  a  potent  force  in  contention.  Anglo 
Saxon  and  Celt  has  aye  been  ready  to  "  back  their  opinions" 
with  coin.  The  adventurous  spirit  which  prompted  long 
voyages  to  parts  of  the  earth  about  which  little  was  known 
was  emphatically  the  spirit  of  gambling.  Without  that  in- 
citement in  place  of  a  little  island  being  the  nucleus  of  an 
"  empire  on  which  the  sun  never  sets,"  it  would  have  remained 
much  the  same  as  in  the  days  of  the  Plantagenets.  A  benign 
influence  this  gaming  in  the  blood  when  controlled,  when 
allowed  to  run  riot  provocative  of  dire  outcomings.  Breeders 
of  race  horses  could  engage  in  matches  or  sweepstakes  for 
large  sums ;  wager  thousands  of  pounds  sterling  among  them 
selves  without  doing  much  harm.  They  could  afford  to  lose, 
and  the  chances  for  betting  on  races  curtailed  to  limited 
periods. 

But  gamblers,  and  not  breeders  and  owners  instituted  a 
new  order  of  things.  Itdid  not  require  a  great  deal  of  acute- 
ness  to  discover  the  rich  field  which  only  needed  furrowing 
to  return  an  immense  crop.  The  man  who  was  conversant 
with  hazard,  roulette  or  any  others  of  the  banking  games  then 
in  vogue,  would  readily  see  where  the  ''percentage''  would 
count.  "Give  me  one  quarter  of  one  per  cent  the  advantage, 
and  plenty  of  play  and  1  will  ask  no  better  pull,"  was  the  re- 
mark of  Crockford  who  began  life  in  a  fishmonger's  stall  and 
died  a  millionaire.  Were  a  match  on  the  tapis  and  nine- 
hundred  against  a  thousand  placed  on  each  of  the  competitors 
and  here  was  a  profit  of  a  clear  hundred,  and,  as  in  those 
days,  wafers  were  play  or  pay,  the  hundred  was  gained  with- 
out the  shadow  of  a  risk.  Theft  sweepstakes  gave  a  still 
better  opportunity.  The  larger  the  list  of  subscribers,  the 
better  the  chance,  Crockford's  five  shillings  in  a  hundred 
pounds  the  merest  bagatelle.  The  question  of  per  centage. 
however,  only  bears  on  layer  and  taker.  If  a  *nan  is  such  a 
gudgeon  as  to  play  against  odds  which  give  from  ten  percent 
up  the  advantage  to  the  layer,  he  is  unworthy  of  small  sym- 
pathy, but  when  the  practice  becomes  an  inducement  to 
crime  and  a  passion  which  works  great  injury  to  the  com- 
munity, if  not  restricted  there  can  only  be  one  ending.  Un- 
der like  management  to  that  which  prevailed  before  the  era 
of  the  "English  system  of  betting>'  in  America,  there  would 
be  little  danger  of  effective  interference  with  racing  affairs 
It  is  an  easy  thing  to  win  the  battle  against  a  combination  of 
DeLaceys  and  bigots;  when  the  opposing  force  is  the  conserv- 
ative portion  of  the  community  it  is  worse  than  a  forlorn 
hope. 

The  winning  of  the  Derby  by  Lord  Roseberry  would  add 
to  his  popularity  were  horse-racing  the  best.  Mr.  "Peck- 
sniffs" and  others  of  kindred  strains  would  be  powerless  in 
that  case.  When  the  gambling  side  of  the  question  is  brought 
into  prominence,  and  that  found  to  be  the  corner-stoue  of 
modern  racing,  that  must  be  overcome  before  the  battle  is 
under  way.  Those  who  are  the  most  deeply  interested  can 
secure  victory  by  spiking  the  guns  of  their  opponents;  by 
taking  the  initative  in  "redeeming  the  turf"  from  the  odium 
which  cannot  be  denied. 

"  The  outcry  against  having  the  fate  of  the  English  Govern- 
ment settled  by  the  result  of  a  horse  race  may  have  some 
more  important  results  than  giving  the  Pecksniffs  of  England 
a  chance  to  air  their  views  in  public.  It  is  likely  to  lead  to 
an  official  investigation  that  wilt  force  a  reform  in  racing  and 
its  surroundings.  Horse  racing  is,  or  at  least  may  be,  a  noble 
sport,  but  betting  on  horse  races  is  not.  And  it  is  without 
doubt  the  fact  that  the  turf  in  late  years  in  both  England  and 
America  has  become  a  great  gambling  machine  manipulated 
by  and  for  gamblers.  The  extent  to  which  the  public  is  bled 
by  these  gamhling  institutions  is  but  little  realized.  The 
bookmakers  are  not  in  business  for  the  fun  of  it.  They  do 
business  to  win,  and  whether  fairly  or  not  they  do  win,  and 
to  the  amount  of  millions  yearly.  There  is  no  doubt  that 
fraud  has  a  large  part  in  determining  races.  When  an  event 
decides  whether  $100,000  shall  or  shall  not  go  into  the  pock- 
ets of  the  men  who  are  most  closely  connected  with  the  tracks, 
there  are  likely  to  be  a  good  many  occasions  when  the  book- 
makers bet  on  something  besides  their  judgment.  The  legis- 
lation that  crushed  the  Louisiana  lottery  and  smashes  in 
the  doors  of  faro  banks  and  tan  games  has  a  blind  eye  when 
it  muses  so  fbigrant  an  evil  as  that  of  gambling  on  races.  For 
all  that  a  man  may  be  proud  to  own  a  good  horse,  and  racing 
may  be  an  occupation  for  gentlemen,  and  it  may  be  takeu  for 
granted  that  the  majority  of  Lord  Kosebery's  fellow-citizens 
think  none  the  less  of  him  for  having  a  horse  that  can  run 
fast."

"Thk  OJUD  Timk  Stark." — The  races  of  five  miles  at 
the  meetings  of  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  have  been  attractive 
cards,  not  another  race  in  the  programmes  exciting  so  much 
public  interest.  The  deviation  to  a  race  of  heats  of  four 
miles  is  likely  to  obtain  still  more  popularity,  one  reason  be- 
ing its  novelty  as  it  is  more  than  twenty  years  since  there 
was  a  race  of  that  kind,  if  my  recollection  he  correct,  and 
heats  at  that  distance  will  bring  greater  uncertainties   into 


the  ca'culation  than  a  dash.  December  31, 1869,  Longfellow 
beat  \  enture  a  race  of  four  miles  in  10:42$  to  a  wagon,  and 
in  July  of  that  year  Lady  Dooley  beat  the'pacers  Dick  G off 
and  Unknown  in  11:05-11:08*.  Both  of  these  races  came  off 
in  San  Francisco  and  probably  on  the  half-mile  track.  In 
the  early  days  of  trotting  sport,  races  over  a  "  distance  of 
ground  "  were  not  uncommon,  heats  of  two,  three  and  four 
miles  being  of  frequent  occurrence,  in  fact  heats  of  two  and 
three  milts  outnumbered  the  shorter  which  now  so  univer- 
sally prevail. 

Then  a  "  mixed  race,"  which  some  of  the  writers  denounce, 
is  advantageous  as  it  is  of  interest  to  see  whether  pacer  or 
trotter  has  the  most  endurance.  In  the  races  above  noted 
the  trotter,  Lady  Dooley,  won  one,  the  pacer  Longfellow  an- 
other. 

There  is  another  good  reason  for  adding  long  races  to  the 
programme  outside  of  the  attraction  to  the  race-going  public, 
that  being  the  opportunity  given  to  the  slower  class.  Unless 
a  horse  can  rub  reasonably  close  to  the  teens  there  is  little 
chance  for  it  in  even  the  slower  classes,  and  it  is  well  to  pro- 
vide for  this  big  contingent  in  the  army  of  light  harness 
horses.  A  well-shaped  horse,  of  fair  size  with  speed  enough 
to  trot  "  close  to  thirty  "  and  endurance  that  will  enable  it  to 
go  the  "  length  of  the  road  "  is  sought  for  by  purchasers  and

Driving  Foul. — Much  good  is  likely  to  result  from  the 
trial,  or  rather  investigation  into  the  Columbian  Stakes,  by 
the  Board  of  Review  of  the  A.  T.  A.  It  will  be  better  to 
state  that  the  beneficial  ending  will  be  to  the  credit  of  the 
paper  which  made  the  fight.  That  judges  are  far  too  lax  in 
enforcing  the  rules  against  foul  driving  is  well  known  to 
drivers,  though  there  is  less  complaint  than  there  would  be  if 
all  of  the  fraternity  were  not  liable  to  the  charge  at  some 
time.  With  a  "  new  departure"  in  the  stand,  a  general  re- 
solve that  infringements  of  the  law  would  not  be  permitted 
under  any  conditions,  it  would  not  be  very  long  till  the  evil 
would  be  remedied. Had  the  Board  been  emphatic  in  condemn- 
ing the  driver  of  Pixley  for  the  foul  which  was  so  clearly 
apparent  that  the  judges  took  the  heat  away  from  him  the 
first  move  towards  correction  would  have  been  made.  It 
was  well  within  the  scope  of  the  Board  to  have  laid  down 
rules  to  govern  such  cases  as  it  was  admitted  that  the  pro- 
ceedings were  analagous  to  those  of  grand  juries,  and  a  re- 
port more  in  keeping  with  the  facts  than  a  verdict  of  exoner- 
ation. I  have  noted  the  discrepancy  between  Dickerson's 
testimony  and  his  driving.  That  could  have  been  taken  for 
the  basis  of  a  part  of  the  report.  Granting  the  right  of  a 
driver  to  save  all  the  ground,  economizing  distance  must  not 
put  another  in  jeopardy.  Eight  inches  between  the  mark  of 
the  tire  and  the  fence,  that  meaining  four  inches  between 
the  hub  and  the  fence  posts,  is  not  room  enough,  and  it  is 
a  hundred  to  one  that  if  Dickerson  was  thus  closely 
"  pinched "  he  would  make  as  much  noise  about  the  en- 
croachment as  Curry  did.  There  are  very  few  horses 
which  do  not  swerve  in  a  break,  quite  a  numbers  which 
could  not  be  depended  upon  to  go  around  a  curve  so  close  to 
the  inside  as  Alix  was  compelled  to  occupy  without  striking. 
But  indefensible  as  the  driving  on  (he  first  turn  in  the  fifth 
heat  there  was  there  was  no  excuse  for  the  wide  sweep  of  Pix- 
ley in  the  seventh  heat.  If  the  trackwas  equally  as  good  on  the 
inside  as  the  middle  it  would  be  "  banking"  on  the  credulity 
of  the  judges  to  claim  that  an  honest  advantage  was  sought 
when  space  was  left  for  another  to  come  between  Pixley  and 
the  inside  fence.  The  evidence  of  the  patrol  that  the  mark 
of  the  wheel  of  Alix  was  within  eight  inches  of  the  fence  was 
questioned  as  after  the  other  horses  had  passed  it  could  not 
be  said,  with  any  degree  of  authority,  which  made  the  track ; 
but  when  there  is  room  for  a  sulky  to  go  through  unscathed 
no  other  evidence  is  needed.  Were  judges  to  give  warning 
bef  jre  the  commencement  of  a  race  that  neither  "  pinching  " 
or  "  carrying  out"  would  be  passed  without  punishment,  and 
be  as  good  as  their  word  in  case  of  infractions,  there  would 
be  few  such  occurrences  as  those  on  record  in  this  celebrated 
case.  When  a  foul  was  committed  with  as  disastrous  results 
as  those  which  followed  at  Washington  Park,  and  so  light  a 
punishment,  it  is  not  surprising  that  Dickerson  continued  in 
the  same  course.  The  same  in  purpose  though  ou  tha  other 
side.  In  succeeding  heats  Alix  was  not  in  a  position  to  give 
the  same  opportunity  for  squeezing.  What  took  place  on  the 
backstretch  to  bring  a  complaint  from  Curry  does  not  appear 
in  the  testimony.  Had  Curry  been  recalled  after  the  attempt 
to  break  down  the  testimony  of  Von  Saut  and  Elliott,  with 
the  adroit  question  to  Dickerson,  some  light  might  have  been 
shed  on  that  point.  But  it  is  not  unlikely  that  enough  has 
been  shown  to  bring  more  caution  into  the  judge's  stand,  and 
that  stricter  rulings  will  prevail  in  the  future.

Fountain  Pens. — Some  one  gave  instructions  to  keep  a 
fountain  pen  in  order.  Texas  Siftings  amended  by  advising 
"Give  it  to  an  enemy."  After  constant  use  for  over  two 
years  it  would  be  a  very  dear  friend  to  which  mine  would  be 
presented  if  another  could  not  be  obtained,  and  if  a  real,  good 
road  horse  would  be  accepted  in  lieu  of  the  pen,  that  would 
cheerfully  be  given.  I  must  say,  however,  that  this  is  the 
first  that  so  completely  "filled  the  hill,"  now  that  the  greatest 
obstacle  has  been  overcome.  That  was  the  trouble  in  filling. 
Those  little  glass  and  rubber  nuisances  ylcept  "medicine 
droppers,"  being  particularly  aggravating.  It  would  take 
up  air  hubbies  in  place  of  ink,  and  when  it  was  thought  the 
tube  was  charged,  merely  filled  with  too  subtle  a  fluid  for 
caligraphy.  Now  I  use  a  small  oil  can  to  replenish  the  waste 
of  ink  and  have  not  had  the  least  trouble  since.  Such  a  big 
improvement  that  it  is  made  publ-io,  hoping  that  others  may 
obtain  the  benefit  and  thank  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman 
for  the  information.

THE   FARM. 


A  Sudden   Shower. 


Barefooted  boys  scud  up  the  street, 

Or  scurry  under  theshelteringehed; 
And  schoolgirl  faces  pale  and  sweet, 

Gleam  from  the  shawls  about  their  heads. 

Doors  bang  and  mother  voices  call 

From  alien  homes,  and  rusty  gates 
Are  slammed,  and  high  above  it  all 

The  thunder  grim  reverberates. 

And  then  abrupt,  the  rain,  the  rain! 

The  earth  lies  gasping,  and  the  eyes 
behind  the  streaming  window  panes 

Smile  at  the  trouble  of  the  skies. 

The  highway  smokes,  sharp  echoes  ring; 

The  cattle  bawl  and  cowbells  clank; 
And  into  the  town  comes  galloping 

The  farmer's  horse  with  steaming  flank. 

The  swallow  dips  beneath  the  eaves, 
And  flirts  his  plumes  and  dips  his  wings; 

And  under  the  catawaba  leaves 
The  caterpillar  curls  and  clings. 

The  bumblebee  is  pelted  down 

The  wet  stem  of  the  hollyhock; 
And  sullenly  in  Bpattered  brown 

The  cricket  leaps  the  garden  walk. 

Within  the  baby  claps  his  hands, 
And  crows  with  rapture  strange  and  vague; 

Without,  beneath  the  rose  bush  stands 
A  dripping  rooster  on  one  leg.

A  Hog  Cholera  Remedy. 


ness  or  want  of  attention.  They  will  drive  a  cow  or  brood 
sow  to  the  male  to  be  served  perhaps  after  the  animal  has 
been  in  heat  a  number  of  hours,  the  cows  racing  other  cows, 
or  perhaps  large  steers  romping  with  them  for  hours,  and 
then  turning  together  again  after  service,  which  should  never 
be  done.  And  then  when  the  cow  does  not  get  in  calf  the 
male  is  said  not  to  be  sure,  and  the  trip  is  made  over  again, 
or  perhaps  a  drive  is  made  to  another  animal.  In  nine 
times  out  of  ten,  the  fault  of  either  the  cow  or  the  sow  not 
breeding  is  in  the  owner's  carelessness  and  neglect.  A  good 
rule,  and  one  which  will  save  the  owner  of  the  male  much 
trouble  and  vexation,  is  to  compel  the  owner  of  the  female 
to  leave  her  after  having  been  served  and  keep  her  confined 
for  twelve  hours.  It  is  not  a  good  plan  to  hire  a  male  hog 
or  sheep  to  go  from  the  farm. 

Care  of  the  Sow. 


Br.  T.  J.  Dodge,  of  Hamilton,  111.,  writes  as  follows  on  the 
subject  of  hog  cholera : 

Mr.  Editor — As  the  price  of  hogs  is  sufficiently  high  to 
pay  the  farmer  to  use  every  means  of  protecting  them  irom 
the  ravages  of  the  cholera,  I  deem  it  my  duty  to  give  to  the 
public,  free,  ray  receipt  for  the  cure  of  what  is  termed  as  hog 
cholera.  I  have  used  this  remedy  for  thirty-three  years,  and 
raised  hogs  all  of  the  time,  both  here  and  on  my  ranch  in 
Nebraska,  and  never  lost  a  hog.  Have  experimented  by 
placing  one  well  hog  with  a  lot  of  sick  ones  and  keeping  it 
well  by  the  use  of  this  remedy.  You  will  confer  a  great  bless- 
ing on  the  farmers  of  this  country  by  publishing  this  receipt 
in  full  in  your  valuable  paper.  I  am  now  engaged  in  other 
business,  and  have  been  for  sixteen  years,  and  am  willing  to 
let  others  prosper  by  the  long  years  of  experience  of  mine 
with  a  remedy  I  discovered  myself  for  the  cure  of  this  disease. 

The  prescription  and  directions  for  use  are  as  follows: 

Arsenic,  one-half  pound  ;  cape  aloes,  one-half  pound;  blue 
vitriol,  one-fourth  pound  ;  black  antimony,  one  ounce.  Grind 
and  mix  well  the  remedy  before  using. 

The  following  are  the  directions  for  use  : 

1.  Sick  hogs  in  all  cases  to  be  separated  from  the  well  ones 
and  placed  in  dry  pens  with  only  five  large  hogs,  or  eight 
small  ones  in  each  pen. 

2.  Feed  nothing  but  dry  feed,  but  no  water  only  the  slops 
containing  the  remedy  until  cured. 

3.  When  hogs  refuse  to  eat  turn  them  on  their  backs,  and 
with  a  long-handled  spoon  put  the  dry  medicine  down  their 
throats. 

4.  Dose  for  large  hogs,  one  teaspoonful  three  times  a  day 
for  three  days ;  then  miss  one  day  and  repeat  the  amount 
until  cured.    Shoats  or  pigs  one-half  the  amount. 

5.  As  a  preventive,  one  teaspoonful  once  a  week  will  keep 
your  hogs  in  healthy  condition  to  take  on  fat.  I  can  place 
one  well  hog  in  a  pen  with  one  hundred  sick  ones,  and  with 
this  remedy  keep  him  well. 

6.  Let  no  other  stock  but  hogs  have  access  to  this  remedy, 
as  it  is  to  them  a  deadly  poison. 

Dr.  Dodge  adds  that  for  many  years  he  sold  this  receipt 
for  $5  and  treated  thousands  of  hogs  at  the  rate  of  $1  per 
head,  paying  the  owner  ten  cents  a  pound  for  all  that  died 
after  treatment  began. 

"Water  For  Cows. 


Milk  is  about  87  per  cent  water.  To  produce  a  good  yield 
of  milk  without  plenty  of  water  is  impossible.  The  water  of 
milk  is  taken  from  the  blood.  Diminishing  the  water  in  the 
blood  creates  thirst  and  fever.  Profuse  perspiration  makes  a 
person  thirsty  because  the  fluid  perspired  comes  from  the 
blood  and  not  enough  is  left  to  answer  physiological  require- 
ments. Cows  need  water  in  summer  for  the  same  reason  that 
warm-blooded  animals  in  general  need  it,  and  for  the  addi- 
tional reason  that  they  are  artificially  developed  as  milk  pro- 
ducers and  milk  production  demands  water.  Water  should 
be  furnished  in  the  pasture  so  they  can  drink  during  the 
heat  of  the  day  and  at  other  times  if  they  desire.  Many 
pastures  have  no  natural  supply  of  water. 

A  good  well  and  a  windmill  will  remedy  this  deficiency. 
On  my  farm  the  water  is  piped  from  the  barn  well  to  the 
pasture  and  an  automatic  float  valve  keeps  the  supply  exactly 
equal  to  the  demand.  These  float  valves  can  be  bought  at 
any  hardware  Btore.  As  the  surface  is  lowered  the  valve 
opens  and  permits  water  to  run  in  from  the  storage  tank  until 
the  drinking  trough  is  filled.  Distant  pasture  can  be  supplied 
with  a  well,  windmill  and  tank.  There  are  three  ways  to 
manage  such  a  combination.  Have  some  one  to  see  that  the 
tank  is  always  supplied  with  water,  and  to  start  and  stop  the 
windmill  whenever  necessary  ;  or  have  a  return  pipe  to  con- 
duct the  overflow  water  back  into  the  well,  in  which  case  the 
windmill  may  run  all  the  time;  or  have  the  mill  supplied 
with  an  automatic  regulator. 

The  last  method  is  decidedly  the  best.  It  saves  traveling  to 
and  fro,  and  unnecessary  wear  of  mill  and  pump.  It  does 
away  with  the  mudhole  which  results  from  letting  the  water 
ran  over  the  top  of  the  tank.  The  regulator  is  a  little  cast 
iron  machine  which,  when  the  tank  is  full,  stops  the  wind- 
mill. As  soon  as  water  is  taken  out  it  throws  thn  mill  in 
gear  and  holds  it  there  until  the  wind  blows  and  the  tank  is 
filled  to  the  level  for  which  the  regulator  is  set.  The  mill 
which  supplies  my  tank  is  governed  by  a  regulator  which 
does  its  work  perfectly.

Getting  Cows  to  Breed. 


The  sow,  after  service,  should  be  confined  until  her  irrita- 
bility has  ceased.  The  time  of  farrowing  may  be  known  by 
the  return  of  the  irritability,  which  generally  happens  a  few 
days  previous  to  farrowing.  The  term  of  gestation  in  swine 
is  sixteen  weeks.  A  sow  requires  considerable  attention  at 
the  time  of  farrowing;  not  that  she  will  probably  require 
assistance  in  the  act  of  pigging,  but  to  observe  that  all  the 
pigs  are  safe  and  to  remove  everyone  that  may  be  dead  when 
born,  or  may  have  died  in  the  birth,  in  order  that  she  may 
not  devour  them  and  then  go  for  the  rest.  The  pigs  are  gen" 
erally  born  by  the  head  and  breech  presentation  alternately, 
and  this  need  therefore  not  excite  particular  attention.  A 
roomy,  comfortable  sty  should  be  provided,  with  only  a  mod- 
erate quantity  of  clean  and  dry  straw.  For  some  time  before 
farrowing  the  sow  should  be  constantly  fed  by  the  same  per- 
son in  order  that  she  may  become  familiar  with  him,  and 
allow  the  requisite  attention  to  be  paid  to  her  while  littering. 
It  frequently  happens  that  sows  destroy  their  young,  either 
from  being  too  much  confined,  or  from  their  careless  and  sav- 
age disposition.  To  obviate  this,  poles  should  be  fixed  around 
the  sty.  five  or  six  inches  from  the  sides  and  at  the  same  dis- 
tance from  the  floor  of  the  sty,  so  that  the  pigs  may  get  under 
and  prevent  the  sow  from  lying  on  them.  The  number  of 
teats  will  indicate  how  many  pigs  should  be  kept,  and  on  no 
account,  with  the  exception,  perhaps,  of  one  extra,  should 
more  be  attempted  to  be  brought  up  than  what  nature  has 
provided  for,  unless  it  be  by  hand,  on  cow's  milk.  The  after- 
birth should  be  removed  when  it  comes  away,  which  it  does 
in  a  few  minutes  after  farrowing.  Sometimes  the  womb  will 
slip  out  after  farrowing.  Cases  of  this  kind  are  always  apt 
to  end  fatally  if  not  attended  to  at  the  earliest  moment  and 
before  both  horns  of  the  womb  have  been  fully  averted,  when 
great  difficulty  may  be  experienced  in  their  return.  It  will 
greatly  facilitate  the  operation  if  the  hinder  part  of  the  body 
is  lifted  up  by  the  legs,  the  sow  resting  on  some  support  with 
her  back.  After  cleaning  the  womb  and  surroundings  with 
blood-warm  water,  a  man  at  each  horn  begins  the  return  by 
pushing  the  end  of  the  horn  inwards,  telescope-like,  within 
itself,  and  thus  continue  until  the  body  of  the  womb  is 
reached,  when  the  same  process  is  continued  with  this.  The 
weight  of  the  returned  portions  will  assist  in  the  return  of 
the  womb  to  its  proper  place.  Persons  with  long  and  uneven 
fingernails  should  not  perform  the  operation,  which  should 
be  done  carefully  and  without  undue  force,  as  the  womb  of 
the  sow  is  very  susceptible  of  any  injury. 

The  sow  should  be  fed  sparingly  the  first  three  or  four 
days  after  farrowing,  with  mild,  lukewarm  food,  as  overfeed- 
ing and  strong  or  heating  food  may  produce  fever  and  eause 
death.  The  most  nourishing  and  best  food  for  the  first  month 
after  farrowing  is  ground  oats,  mixed  with  warm  milk  and 
water;  but  great  care  must  be  taken  not  to  give  stale  or  musty 
food,  as  it  will  scour  the  sow  and  stop  the  growth  of  the 
pigs.  After  the  first  month,  corn  may  be  added,  and  the  sow 
can  scarcely  be  kept  too  well  until  the  pigs  are  weaned,  which 
generally  takes  place  at  the  age  of  seven  weeks.  The  most 
proper  diet  for  weaned  pigs  is  boiled  food.  One  pound  of 
coarse  oatmeal,  when  boiled,  will  thicken  ten  pints  of  water, 
and  admit  of  being  further  extended  to  eighteen  pints  of 
water,  producing  an  equal  number  of  pounds'  weight  of  food 
of  a  glutinous  nature.  The  method  of  preparing  this  food  is 
to  put  nine  or  ten  pints  of  water  in  a  vessel  on  the  fire,  and, 
when  boiling  to  add  one  pound  of  oatmeal,  mixed  in  two  to 
three  pints  of  cold  water,  stirring  it  to  pievent  it  from  whey- 
ing  or  burning  to  the  bottom ;  when  boiled  one  minute,  it 
may  be  taken  off,  a  little  salt  added,  and  it  will  be  ready  for 
use  when  sufficiently  cooled  off.  When  turnips  can  be  pro- 
cured, one  or  two  may  be  cut  in  slices  and  put  in  the  water 
before  the  meal  is  poured  in.  It  should  be  given  to  young 
pigs  when  milk  warm,  from  a  pint  to  a  quart  at  each  meal. 
This  oatmeal  diet  will  force  them  greatly,  and  fatten  tnem 
much  quicker  than  if  otherwise  given. 

Experience  proves  th^t  to  promote  the  health  and  growth 
of  pigs,  thev  should  not  only  be  kept  clean,  but  warm  and 
dry.  Pigs,  though  on  grass  during  the  day  in  summer,  should 
nevertheless  receive  a  drink  of  water  *nd  meal  every  morn- 
ing and  evening.  The  sty  should  be  roomy,  well  ventilated, 
properly  drained,  and  placed  in  a  situation  to  receive  the 
morning's  sun  ;  and  to  obviate,  as  much  as  possible,  the  often- 
times fatal  effects  of  severe  cold  in  winter,  a  southern  aspect 
and,  if  possible,  a  situation  behind  some  lofty  buildings, 
Bhould  be  chosen,  so  as  to  protect  them  from  north  winds. 
The  form  of  the  sties  must  be  regulated  according  to  the 
number  of  swine  intended  to  be  kept.— Dr.  N.  H.  Paaren,  in 
Prairie  Farmer. 

Do  Not  Feed  Scorched  "Wheat  to  Poultry. 


"  An  experienced  breeder  writes  to  the  "National  Stock- 
nan"  very  sensibly  on  getting  cows  and  brood  sows  to  breed." 

We  have  been  very  often  inclined  to  refuse  the  service  of 
nale  animals  to  our  neighbors  on  account  of  their  careless- 


Whlch  Kind  Shall  We  Keep  ? 

It  is  probable  that  the  poultry  dealer  will  do  best  to  decide 
upon  raising  either  eggs  or  meat  and  choose  a  variety  which 
will  suit  his  purpose.  A  variety  like  the  Leghorn  which, 
with  goodcare,will  grind  out  eggs  almostall  the  year  around, 
or  else  a  sort  like  the  larger  strain?  of  the  Plymouth  R  >ck, 
which  will  put  on  meat  for  boilers  or  roasters  at  as  little  cost 
per  pound  as  any  breed. 

The  general  purpose  fowl  has  its  plaoe  in  the  yard  of  the 
villager  who  keeps  only  a  few  fowls  to  supply  his  own  house- 
hold with  eggs  and  poultry.  Hiseggs  usually  cost  him  more 
per  dozen  and  his  meat  more  per  pound  than  in  the  case  of 
specialists.  Bat  convenience  is  his  object,  rather  than  the 
lowest  possible  cost.  For  the  farmer  who  wishes  to  make 
hens  pay,  the  plan  of  specializing  is  no  doubt  better.  If  he 
decides  upon  eggs — a  safe  choice  in  New  England,  near  good 
markets — he  should  procure  a  breed  that  will  lay  eggs  and 
plenty  of  them.  A  hen  of  the  egg  breeds  will  lay  herself  to 
skins  and  bones  by  the  end  of  two  years,  by  which  time  she  is 
hardly  worth  considering  for  meat.  But  she  will  more  thau 
make  that  up  while  the  others  are  setting  or  loafing,  and  she 
requires  less  food.  If  the  egg  grower  does  not  have  an  in- 
cubator, he  must  keep  also  a  few  hens  of  the  setting  breeds  to 
raise  his  chicks. 

For  the  meat  specialist  an  incubator  is  fast  becoming  a  ne- 
cessity in  order  to  hatch  enough  chicks  early  in  the  season. 
Breeds  of  fowl,  houses  and  care  and  food  are  all  arranged  to 
produce  meat  at  a  low  price  and  rapidly.  The  egg  breeds 
mature  too  soon  to  be  of  much  use,  while  the  meat  breeds 
attend  strictly  to  their  business  of  growing  heavy  and  fat  for 
market  throughout  the  season.  It  is  of  course  impossible  to 
separate  the  two  main  branches  of  commercial  poultry  keep- 
ing, but  most  large  raisers  specialize  to  a  great  extent  and  de- 
vote most  of  their  time,  attention  and  study  either  to  egg  or 
to  market  poultry. 

It  is  also  often  profitable  to  specialize  still  further  by  cater- 
ing to  a  special  fancy  trade  in  either  eggs  or  poultry.  For 
example,  an  egg-raiser  in  Middleboro,  Mass.,  ships  a  choice 
brand  of  large,  dark  brown  eggs,  each  stamped  with  the  date 
of  gathering  as  a  warrant  of  freshness  and  quality.  The  pro- 
ducer gets  ten  to  fifteen  cents  a  dozen  above  the  market  price 
catering  to  a  choice  trade  in  the  Back  District  of  Boston. 
Many  other  shippers  get  extra  prices  by  sending  warranted 
eggs  all  alike  in  color  and  size.  In  the  poultry-meat  spec- 
iality also  there  is  no  doubt  but  that  a  fancy  trade  could  be 
obtained  in  every  large  town.  Rich  patrons  would  be  glad 
to  pay  high  prices  for  well-fattened  and  dressed  fowls  of  th  e 
choice  high-flavored  varieties  like  the  Langshan  or  Dorking. 

Goose  Raising. 

There  is  money  in  raising  young  geese  for  market,  provided 
the  grower  understands  his  business.  One  goose  raiser  near 
Boston  asserts  that  young  geese  twelve  weeks  old  will  weigh 
ten  to  twelve  pounds  each.  If  brought  to  that  weight  by 
June  17,  they  will  bring  about  thirty  cents  a  pound  in  the 
Boston  market.  Thus  each  goose  sells  for  over  $3,  while  the 
cost  for  food  is  placed  at  not  much  over  $1  each,  where  the 
goslings  are  given  plenty  of  grass,  of  which  a  large  part  of 
their  food  consists.  One  drawback  to  the  business  is  the 
scarcity  of  eggs  for  hatching.  The  hen  goose  lays  only  from 
twenty-five  to  forty-five  eggs  per  year,  which  makes  the  cost 
of  each  egg  rather  high.  Incubators  are  usually  not  well 
adapted  for  goose  eggs,  and  hens  are  used  for  hatching.  One 
hen  can  cover  only  four  or  five  goose  eggs.  The  goslings 
grow  with  amazing  lapidity,  and  can  take  care  of  themselves 
at  an  early  age.  They  are.  so  clumsy  that  a  yard  enclosed 
with  a  netting  a  foot  high  will  keep  them  confined.  When 
very  young  the  goslings  is  like  a  sponge  to  soak  water,  and 
the  yard  must  always  be  protected  during  a  rain.  This  is  an 
important  point.  Where  there  is  abundance  of  grass  pastur- 
age the  business  is  profitable,  but,  as  with  the  hen  business,  it 
is  necessary  to  begin  in  a  small  way  and  learn  the  details. 

Remedy  For  Big  Jaw. 


The  use  of  the  new  remedy  for  big  ja.v  which  is  iodide  of 
potassium,  in  one  and  a  half  dram  doses,  given  once  daily  at 
first,  and  after  a  week  every  second  day,  until  half  a  pound 
has  been  given,  is  proving  a  most  useful  cure  for  this  hitherto 
fatal  disease.  The  iodide  is  equally  effective  in  old  cases  and 
new  ones,  and  instances  are  known  in  which  the  disease  has 
been  wholly  cured  after  it  had  progressed  so  far  as  to  exhibit 
an  open  abscess  four  inches  in  diameter.  It  must  not  be 
expected,  however,  that  it  will  restore  the  lost  bone  substance, 
but  it  will  stop  the  decay  of  the  bone  and  arrest  any  further 
loss  of  it,  and  heal  the  sores  as  well. — New  York  Times. 


No  meaner  trick  can  be  played  on  profit-producing  ani- 
mals than  to  feed  scorched  food.  If  poultry  are  to  be  kept 
in  health  and  lay  eggs  as  well  as  take  on  flesh,  they  cannot 
be  expected  to  do  it  with  inferior  food.  For  scorched  wheat 
I  would  not  pay  much  as  a  nutriment  containing  food.  ^  It 
loads  up  the  digestive  organs  with  a  foul  clogging  which 
would  have  to  be  worked  off  and  got  rid  of  and  the  getting 
rid  of  would  take  the  stored-np  strength  and  vitality  of  the 
birds  and  cause  them  to  draw  upon  other  nutriment  to  work 
this  off.— Pearl  E.  Clough. 


Management  ov  H  ei  feus. — Pregnant  ani  mals  should 
be  fed  and  watered  regularly;  they  should  have  the  best  of 
food  and  purest  of  water;  snow  water  as  well  as  stagnant  wa- 
ter, should  be  entirely  avoided.  The  care  in  the  stable,  as 
well  as  out  doore,  should  have  particular  attention.  Thus  a 
too  narrow  stall,  slippery  floor,  narrow  stable  doors,  improper 
ventilation  and  drafts  of  cold  air,!  should  be  avoided  or 
guarded  against.  As  to  the  quantity  of  food  so  much  should 
be  given  that  both  the  organism  of  the  mother  can  be  sus- 
tained sufficiently  to  insure  the  healthy  development  of 
the  foetus  and  also  allow  a  surplus  for  the  production  of  milk. 
A  too  large  quantity  of  nutritive  food  should  not  be  given; 
for,  as  a  general  rule,  fat  cows  will  produce  lean  and  weak 
calves.  Musty,  rusty  and  dusty  hay,  brewer's  grain,  swill 
and  much  oil  cake,  turnips  and  beats  should  be  avoided. 
The  heifer,  when  Hearing  her  time,  may  be  placed  in  a 
roomy  box-stall,  well  littered,  and  so  arranged  that  the  view 
of  her  companions  is  not  entirely  obscured;  and  when  about 
to  calve  she  should  be  watched  but  not  necessarily  interfered 
with.  When  the  afterbirth  is  dropped  it  should  be  moved 
immediately  and  buried. 

The  following  old  piece  of  doggerel  is  not  an  inapt,  but 
brief,  description  of  the  prominent  characteristic  of  a  good 
cow  : 

Long  in  her  sides,  bright  in  her  eyes. 

Short  In  her  legs,  thin  in  her  thighs, 

Big  in  her  ribs,  wide  In  her  pins. 

Full  in  her  bnsom,  small  iu  her  shine. 

Long  in  her  face,  due  in  her  tail 

And  never  deficient  in  tilling  the  pail. 

This  is  a  more  intelligent  description  than  half  uf  ill* 
labored  essays  written  on  the  subject.

Junior   Champions. 

Our  readers  will  remember  the  remarkable  scores  made  by 
Krank  F.  Merrill  at  the  last  State  Sportsmen's  Tournament. 
We  thought  him  hard  to  beat  at  that  time,  but  it  seems  that 
the  Stockton  Gun  Club  has  brought  out  another  young 
champion  of  like  ilk.  E.  S.  Richards,  another  young  sports- 
man, under  17  years  of  age,  goes  him  one  better.  And  when 
the  pair  get  together  they  are  excelled  by  very  few.  On  Sun- 
day last  two  gentlemen  from  the  Newman  Gun  Club  shot 
against  Richards  and  Merrill  for  a  purse  of  $25,  the  latter 
winning  by  12  birds.  The  match  was  shot  at  25  single  blue 
rocks,  and  12  live  birds  each.     The  score  was  as  follows:

Newsome  and  Elfers ,„„,  54 


A  Pennsylvania  correspondent  of  the  New  York  Sun 
relates  an  amusing  bear  story.  The  wood-cutters  of  Pocono 
mountains,  it  appears,  bad  broken  the  handle  of  a  beetle  the 
previous  winter.  A  rope  was  tied  about  the  beetle-head,  and 
it  had  been  left  hanging  to  the  low  limb  of  a  tree.  The  cor- 
respondent happened  to  be  in  the  vicinity  one  summer  day, 
and  remembering  the  beetle,  started  after  it  to  carry  it  home. 

"As  I  came  near  the  place  I  perceived  a  black  bear  slowly 
circling  around  the  hanging  beetle  at  a  distance  of  a  few  feet. 
He  was  too  much  occupied  to  notice  me,  and  I  stopped  to  see 
what  he  was  about. 

The  bear  acted  as  if  he  thought  the  beetle  were  some  kind 
of  a  trap.  He  would  approach  within  a  few  feet  and  sniff 
at  it.  Then  he  would  back  off  a  little  way,  squat  on  his 
haunches  and  give  a  low  snort,  eyeing  the  tool  all  the  time. 

While  he  was  thus  engaged  a  sudden  breeze  sprung  up  and 
set  the  beetle  to  swinging  lightly.  The  animal  snorted  again 
and  backed  off  a  step  or  two.  Soon  another  gust  struck  the 
beetle  and  swayed  it  still  more.  The  bear  responded  by  a 
louder  snort — a  sort  of  challenge. 

As  soon  as  the  beetle  stopped  swinging,  Bruin  got  up  and 
circled  about  it  several  times.  At  length  he  went  near — then 
nearer.  He  reached  out  his  paw  and  touched  it  gently.  As 
it  swung  toward  him  he  hit  it  again  more  forcibly. 

The  beetle-head  was  a  round  one  of  hickory,  with  heavy 
iron  rings  on  each  end.  As  it  rebounded  from  the  second 
blow  of  the  creature's  paw  it  hit  him  fairly  in  the  nose. 
Angry  now  he  rushed  at  the  beetle  again,  and  gave  it  a  sound- 
ing blow.  As  it  came  toward  him  he  dodged  a  little,  just 
enough  to  save  bis  nose  and  receive  the  blow  in  his  left  eye. 
He  hit  it  again,  and  his  nose  got  another  blow.  That  hurt 
so  much  that  he  growled  angrily  and  rooted  viciously  in  the 
leaves. 

He  was  furious  by  this  time,  and  went  at  the  beetle  as  if  he 
meant  to  anninilate  it.  He  gave  it  a  tremendous  blow  with 
bis  right  paw,  and  the  tool  swung  clear  over  the  limb,  came 
down  on  the  other  side  and  struck  him  on  top  of  the  head. 
He  uttered  a  roar  that  made  the  woods  ring. 

1  stood  still  and  shook  with  suppressed  laughter  to  see  the 
brute  go  on. 

Finally  he  caught  the  beetle  in  his  paws,  pulled  upon  it 
until  he  broke  the  rope,  and  then  went  to  cuffing  and  biting 
the  tool. 

When  he  found  that  it  did  not  fight  back  any  more,  he  let 
it  roll  to  the  ground.  Then  he  shook  himself  and  walked  off 
into  the  woods,  and  I  let  him  go."

The  Spotting  System. 

We  have  been  asked  to  describe  the  advantages  of  the  spot- 
ting system  of  j  udging  at  field  trials.  We  know  of  no  better 
description  than  that  given  by  a  well-known  trainer  and  field 
trial  judge  in  the  Forest  and  Stream  of  June,  1892,  which  is 
as  follows : 

With  regard  to  the  spotting  system,  it  has  proved  to  be 
the  most  satisfactory  one  yet  tried  in  field  trial  competition. 
The  objection  has  been  made  against  it  that  dogs,  running 
under  this  system  at  different  trials,  were  placed  differently 
each  time.  As  a  matter  of  fact,  the  records  of  last  year  will 
show  that  the  same  dogs  won  at  nearly  every  trial  in  which 
they  started. 

Every  sportsman  knows  that  a  dog's  hunting  performances 
vary  a  great  deal  from  day  to  day,  some  days  being  excellent, 
other  days  ordinary  or  even  poor.  With  this  irregularity 
the  spotting  system  has  nothing  to  do,  nor  would  any  other 
system.  If  the  spotting  system  is  not  a  good  one,  what  one 
is  better?  The  sportsmen  of  America  are  progressive 
men,  and  would  readily  adopt  any  improvement  on  the  pre- 
vailing system. 

The  spotting  system  is  not  fully  understood  by  many  who 
do  not  attend  field  trials,  and  therefore  do  not  see  the  practi- 
cal application  of  it.  They  seem  to  think  that  it  affords  the 
j  udges  an  opportunity  to  spot  a  dog  on  a  very  brief  trial  and 
that  many  dogs  do  not  have  a  proper  opportunity  to  show 
their  merits.  Nothing  could  be  more  erroneous.  Thegreat 
merit  of  the  spotting  system  is  in  that  it  gives  the  judges  a 
full  opportunity  to  give  each  dog  a  most  thorough  trial,  which 
they  invariably  do. 

Under  the  heat  system,  the  most  absurd  cast-iron  procedure 
prevailed,  the  theory  and  rules  being  of  such  a  nature  that  a 
very  poor  dog  could  win  and  the  best  dog  be  beaten,  the  j  udges 
being  utterly  powerless  to  prevent  it,  although  they  might 
know  the  true  merits  of  the  dog.  This  seems  to  be  a  remarka- 
ble statement,  butall  field  trial  men  know  it  to  be  true. 

Under  the  heat  system  each  heat  was  considered  a  separate 
race  by  itself,  it  having  no  relations  to  any  other  heat.  If  a 
dog  ran  magnificently  in  every  heat  and  in  his  last  one  he  ran 
poorly  or  made  a  bad  showing-  from  errors  and  few  oppor- 
tunities, he  was  beaten  in  that  heat  and  not  only  was  he 
beaten,  but  all  the  dogs  which  he  had  previously  beaten  in 
the  stake,  were  beaten.  The  judges  by  the  rules  were  pre- 
cluded from  recognizing  any  work  which  a  dog  did  in  any 
previous  heat,  thus  the  heat  was  always  considered  as  deter- 
mining his  merit. 

It  has  happened  mauy  limes  that  a  good  dog  has  gone  into 
the  final  heat  utterly  wearied  and  incapable  of  working  well 
from  long,  severe  prior  heats,  while  his  competitor,  through 
a  bye  and  short  heats  was  almost  perfectly  fresh,  yet  not- 
withstanding the  absurdity  of  running  a  competition  under 
such  conditions,  it  was  often  so  done.  The  dogs  of  ordinary 
or  poor  ability  would  often  meet  and  beat  dogs  of  like  kind, 
thus  goiug  up  high  in  the  series,  while  good  dogs  which  had 
been  beaten  by  good  ones  were  left  in  the  first  series.

The  Suicide  of  a  Serpent. 


Are  very  venomous  serpents  susceptible  to  their  own  poison? 
In  other  words,  what  would  be  the  result  if  one  of  them 
should  happen  to  bite  himself — would  it  kill  him?  Indeed, 
it  would. 

I  remember  seeing  that  very  thing  happen  once,  when  1 
was  in  the  northern  part  of  Wyoming,  northTof  the  Rattle- 
snake range  of  mountains.  We  had  been  making  a  survey 
for  a  wagon  road  from  Eawlins,  a  town  on  the  Union  Pacific 
Railroad,  northward  to  Fort  McKinney,  and  had  finished  the 
work  and  were  returning,  and  had  reached  the  place  I  have 
described.  The  region  seemed  to  be  wholly  given  over  to  the 
occupancy  of  prairie  dogs,  burrowing  owls  and  rattlesnakes. 
I  never  saw  so  many  snakes  anywhere  except  in  the  swamps 
of  Louisiana  during  an  overflow.  You  could  see  them  crawl- 
ing about  in  all  directions,  and  they  were  constantly  spring- 
ing their  rattles  in  the  grass  under  foot  and  frightening  our 
horses,  for  you  know  a  horse  fears  these  creatures  quite  as 
much  as  a  man  does.  In  riding  along  I  happened  to  see  a 
particularly  large  rattler  sunning  himself  on  a  spot  of  bare 
groond,  and  tried  to  ride  up  near  enough  to  strike  him  with 
my  quirt,  but  my  horse  was  afraid  and  I  could  not  make  him 
approach  the  snake.  I  did  not  blame  him  very  much,  either. 
for  the  old  Q-otcUus  threw  himself  into  a  coil,  raised  his  head, 
sounded  his  rattle  and  prepared  to  assnme  the  offensive  as 
soon  as  he  saw  us.  Finding  that  I  could  not  reach  him  with 
my  short  quirt,  I  rode  over  to  one  of  the  wagons  and  got  from 
the  driver  his  long  four-in-hand  whip,  and  with  this  I 
returned  to  the  snake.  I  found  him  about  where  I  had  left 
him,  and  when  he  saw  me  he  tried  to  run  away.  They  are 
sluggish  creatures,  however,  and  can  not  go  very  fast. 

I  had  a  fancy  to  tease  him  a  little,  and  I  swung  the  whip 
so  that  the  end  of  the  lash  in  falling  would  tap  him  gently 
on  the  nose.  As  soon  as  he  felt  it,  he  snapped  back  like  a 
watch  spring  into  a  coil,  sounded  his  war  note  and  turned  his 
head  quickly  from  side  to  side  to  discover  his  enemy,  his 
forked  tongue  darting  incessantly  from  his  mouth.  I  was 
some  20  ar  30  feet  away,  keeping  perfectly  quiet,  and  he  did 
not  appear  to  notice  me  at  all.  I  fancy  their  range  of  vision 
must  be  very  short.  After  a  few  minutes  he  lowered  his  ugly 
head  to  the  ground  and  prepared  to  glide  away  in  another  di- 
rection. I  let  him  get  fairly  started  and  then  tapped  hi  m  as 
before  and  again  he  coiled  to  strike.  This  was  repeated  a 
number  of  times.  The  snake  always  started  away  in  a  new 
direction,  only  to  meet  that  uncomfortable  and  exasperating 
little  tap.  After  each  stroke  he  would  prepare  to  fight  and 
would  look  in  vain  for  his  assailant;  and  with  each  encounter 
his  anger  seemed  to  increase. 

At  last,  having  tried  unsuccessfully  every  avenue  of  escape, 
he  became  beside  himself  with  rage.  His  rattle  buzzed  in- 
cessantly. He  raised  his  head  nearly  half  his  length  above 
the  ground,  and  swayed  from  side  to  side.  His  eyes  glittered 
like  jewels,  and  his  forked  tongue  flashed  from  his  mouth 
like  miniature  lightning.  His  head  became  broad  and  flat, 
and  his  whole  body  seemed  to  swell  with  venom.  Suddenly, 
in  an  excess  of  fury,  he  turned  his  head,  and  with  the  full 
force  of  a  swinging  blow  of  his  neck,  like  the  down  stroke  of 
a  sabre,  he  drove  his  fangs  into  his  own  body.  He  kept  his 
hold  and  did  not  withdraw  his  fangs.  His  body  writhed  and 
twisted  for  an  instant,  and  his  muscles  contracted  violently 
once  or  twice.  Then  his  head  sank  down,  the  fire  faded  from 
bis  eyes,  his  coils  relaxed,  and  he  was  dead. 

I  was  astonished.  I  did  not  think  it  was  possible  that  the 
poison  could  be  so  instantly  effective  in  a  creature  ot  such 
sluggish  circulation. 

There  can  be  no  mistake  about  it,  he  meant  to  kill  himself, 
and  he  did  it,  too.  Of  the  last  I  have  the  most  satisfactory 
proof,  for  I  picked  him  up  and  examined  him  carefully  from 
one  end  to  the  other.  There  was  not  a  mark  (save  the  bite) 
or  a  bruise  on  him.  The  light  strokes  that  he  had  received 
from  the  whip  were  not  enough  to  hurt  him,  yet  he  was  dead; 
for  I  put  him  in  my  saddlebag  and  carried  him  to  camp,  and 
then  skinned  him,  ^ind  I  am  sure  he  could  not  play  possum 
through  all  that. 

Yes,  he  bit  himself  with  malice  aforethought,  knowing  per- 
fectly well  what  the  effect  would  be;  and  his  act  can  only  be 
regarded  as  the  suicide  of  a  serpent. — Captain  Dan  C.  King- 
man, U.  S.  A.,  in  Forest  and  Stream. 


ROD- 

_  Shad  are  running  up  the  Sicramento  and  San   Joaquin 
rivers  in  great  numbers. 

A  Stockton  anffler  caught  a  two  and  a  half  pound  striped 
bass  at  Whiskey  Sloi.gh  one  day  la-t  week. 

Kern  county  anglers  are  joining  with  the  sportsmen  of 
Stockton  and  other  localities  in  the  war  against  that  intolera- 
ble nuisance,  the  German  carp. 

Mr.  Warren  Foster,  of  Lewiston,  Maine,  recently  caught 
in  Lake  Auburn  a  131-pound  landlocker  salmon  on'a  silver 
doctor  fly.  The  fortunate  angler  was  over  half  an  hour  land- 
ing bis  big  fish. 

The  rainbow  trout  that  were  planted  in  Kern  river  last 
winter  near  the  Rio  Bravo  ranch  bridge,  are  doing  finely  and 
can  be  seen  in  great  numbers  everyday  at  about  the  same 
locality  in  which  they  were  originally  planted.  Thev  are 
about  two  inches  long  and  will  gain  about  an  inch  a  month 
from  now  on  until  they  attain  their  full  growth. 

The  E.  T.  Allen  Co  have  just  received  an  invoice  of  Car- 
mel  split_  bamboo  rods  of  extra  quality,  also  a  combination 
rod  combining  two  bait  and  two  flv  rods.  They  are  offering 
special  rubber  reels  reinforced  with  aluminum  and  a  reel  es- 
pecially constructed  for  Santa  Cruz  salmon  fishing,  with  a 
steel  pivot.     You  are  cordially  invited  to  oall  and  examine. 

"If  Deacon  George  Green  were  not  one  of  the  pillars  of 
the  Congregational  Church,  a  fish  story  brought  up  by  him 
from  Long  Beach  would  be  accepted  with  incredulity.  It  is 
to  the  effect  that  he  aided  in  catching  twenty-three  sharks  at 
one  time  and  on  one  line.  This  feat  was  accomplished  by 
landing  a  five-foot  shark  on  the  wharf,  from  whose  interior 
economy  at  once  came  forth  twenty-two  baby  sharks,  each 
about  one  foot  long.  The  maternal  shark  had  evidgntlv  swal- 
lowed her  family  for  ease  of  transportation,  or  to  protect 
them  from  the  rapacity  of  other  denizens  of  the  deep." — Pas-

Game  in  San  Diego  County. 

Sportsmen  are  getting  ready  for  the  opening  of  the  deer 
season  on  July  1st  Several  are  going  to  Black  Mountain,  a 
few  miles  northest  of  Del  Mar,  where  deer  are  plentiful. 
Hunters  are  few  in  that  locality,  though  it  is  quite  accessible, 
and  as  a  consequence  deer  have  bred  in  considerable  numbers, 
The  country  is  wild  in  the  extreme  in  the  fastnesses  of  the 
mountain  and  on  the  broken  mesa  land  surrounding  it.  A 
few  days  ago  a  visitor  from  this  city  was  going  through  a 
canon  seeking  what  he  might  devour,  when  the  report  of  his 
gun  startled  a  big  monntain  lion,  that  sprang  up  the  side  of 
the  canon  and  got  out  before  the  hunter  could  get  in  a  shot. 
He  told  Killinick,  an  Indian,  about  it,  and  the  Indian  camped 
on  the  trail  till  he  got  the  lion,  a  big  male,  measuring  seven 
feet  ten  inches  from  tip  to  tip. 

A  day  or  so  afterwar  d  Lew  Ogden  was  hunting  wood  on 
horseback  in  the  same  neighborhood,  when  he  came  upon  a 
lioness  and  a  little  cub  about  the  size  of  a  healthy  bull-pup. 
Ogden  had  no  arms,  and  had  to  let  the  varmints  go.  He 
thinks  they  were  the  rest  of  the  family. 

Col.  C.  F.  Brooks,  who  lives  in  the  vicinity,  saw  five  deer 
in  his  barley  field  the  other  day,  but  some  one  had  gone  away 
.with  the  Winchester  and  they  got  away.  They  were  burro- 
deer.  Then  he  was  going  to  Sorrento  and  passed  a  few  feet 
from  three  fat  reddish  deer,  something  like  the  down-east 
variety.  He  sent  his  hired  man  back  for  the  rifle,  and  when 
he  returned  the  deer  had  started  for  Black  Mountain. 

Col.  Brooks  has  several  bull-pups  that  are  showing  fine 
hunting  qualities  under  the  tuition  of  an  old  dog  that  has 
been  in  the  business  for  year3.  The  other  day  they  treed 
three  wildcats,  which  the  Colonel  had  the  satisfaction  of 
shooting,  after  quite  a  lively  interview.  He  says  that  game 
seems  to  be  growing  more  plentiful  in  the  vicinity  of  Black 
Mountain,  and  that  the  ranchers  there  would  welcome  sports- 
men. There  are  two  pure  white  deer  there  that  he  has  seen, 
besides  plenty  of  common  deer  and  pesky  varmints  that 
trouble  the  ranchers. — San  Diego  Union. 


Erskine  creek,  says  the  Californian,  has  been  a  fine  trout 
stream  ever  since  it  was  known  by  mortal  man.  At  its  head 
are  several  lakes  which  are  tenanted  by  pretty  big  trout.  Tne 
lower  end  of  the  stream  dries  up  every  year  and  coons  eat  up 
all  the  trout  that  have  been  luckless  enough  to  get  caught  in 
the  pools.  But  every  year,  when  the  cr-*ek  raises,  a  new 
=upply  swims  down  from  the  upper  lakes  and  thus  slocks  the 
entire  stream.  This  year  some  mysterious  disease  attacked 
the  trout  in  that  part- of  the  stream  which  dries  up  annually, 
and  nearly  every  fish  for  a  distance  of  about  five  miles  died. 
Ibis  is  the  first  time  that  a  trout  pestilence  has  been  known 
in  that  locality. 


A  million  trout  eggs  are  now  undergoing  incubation  at 
the  Colorado  State  hatcheryjust  below  the  city  of  Denver 
on  the  Platte  river.  These  will  be  fingerlings  a  year  from 
now  and  will  be  ready  to  go  out  to  the  streams  as  small  fry. 
The  hatching  of  fish  eggs  is  an  interesting  study.  The  eggs 
are  stripped  from  the  female  and  the  milk  of  the  male  mixed 
with  it.  This  is  done  in  shallow  pans.  The  eggs  vary  in 
size.  Each  has  in  it  a  small  hole.  When  covered  with 
milk  this  aperature  closes  and  in  three  weeks  breaks,  in- 
cubation having  gone  on.  When  the  little  fish  bursts  from  the 
shell  it  has  beneath  its  jaw  a  small  pouch  containing  two 
tiny  drops  of  oil.  This  oil  it  must  absorb  entirely  before  it 
can  eat,  and  it  will  take  it  about  a  week  to  do  this.  In  a  day 
it  will  begin  to  make  short  runs  and  settle  at  the  bottom  of 
the  tank  as  each  run  ends.  In  four  days  the  oil  pouch  is  empty 
and  the  wiggler  commences  to  eat. — Field  and  Farm. 


A  Battle  with  Mountain  Trout. 


Our  party  was  camping  on  the  south  branch  of  the  Conejos 
river  in  the  San  Luis  Park,  and  on  this  afternoon,  while  the 
other  boys  went  up  the  mountain  side  for  game  I  took  my  rod 
and  fly  book  and  climbed  down  into  the  canyon  below  the 
camp  to  try  the  trout.  I  did  not  take  along  a  landing  net, 
for  the  fish  we  had  caught  thus  far  had  run  so  small  that  I 
felt  safe  in  depending  on  my  split  bamboo  rod  and  light  tackle 
to  lift  outright  any  trout  that  was  likely  to  offer,  says  a  writer 
in  the  Sportsman;s  Review. 

"The  canyon  was  shut  in  by  high  rocky  walls  on  either 
side,  and  at  its  bottom  brawled  the  stream,  sucking  between 
boulders,  tumbling  over  ledges  and  rippling  in  shallows, 
feather-white  most  of  the  way,  and  never  at  rest.  The  fish 
were  slow  to  rise  to  the  fly,  for  the  bright  sunshine  came  di- 
rect down  into  the  canyon,  but  here  and  there  below  some 
great  rock  where  a  water  whirl  had  washed  out  a  hole,  mak- 
ing a  little  pool,  I  harvested  a  small  trout  or  two  until  I  had 
captured  perhaps  a  dozen.  I  came  to  a  large  boulder  in  the 
middle  of  the  stream,  and,  standing  upon  it,  made  a  cast  into 
the  long  pool  and  eddy  below.  Just  as  I  did  so  the  sun  went 
behind  a  mountain  peak  and  the  shadow  fell  across  the  can- 
yon's bottom.  The  flies  settled  upon  the  water,  there  was  a 
little  swirl,  and  the  leader  straightened  down  and  the  tip  of 
the  rod  bent  hard  with  the  pull  of  a  fish  that  I  knew  by  the 
feel  was  a  big  one. 

"  A  second  later  the  tip  was  bending  harder,  the  snell  to 
my  second  fly  was  drawn  taut  as  a  fiddlestring,  and  I  knew 
that  I  had  two  big  trout  to  land  or  loose.  To  handle  two  such 
fish  at  once  would  not  have  been  much  of  a  trick  in  a  lake  or 
smooth  current,  but  in  this  little  patch  of  swift,  rough  water, 
tilled  with  rocks  and  running  into  a  shallow  riple  a  dozen 
yards  below,  required  work  as  fine  as  silk,  and  the  chances 
were  critical  at  every  stage.  One  thing  in  my  favor  was  that 
the  trout  pulled  agaiost  each  other  as  they  tugged  and  cir- 
cled round  in  the  eddy  ;  if  they  had  both  been  of  one  mind, 
and  had  started  together  down  stream,  my  leader  wouldn't 
have  tasted  half  a  minute  among  the  rocks. 

"  The  two  fish  kept  me  so  busy  handling  them  that  it  was 
not  until  an  hour  had  passed  and  they  were  pretty  well 
tamed  down  that  I  had  time  to  think  how  t  should  land  them. 
With  a  landing  net  I  could  have  saved  them  as  easy  as  you 
please  ;  but  with  the  rocks  and  high  banks  all  around,  to  try 
to  lift  them  ashore  by  the  leader  would  have  been  to  lose  them 
the  instant  they  left  the  water. 

"I  played  them  awhile  longer.     Night  was  coming  on  and 


the  shadows  were  deepening  into  the  canyon.  With  dark- 
ness I  knew  I  should  certainly  lose  the  fish,  and,  besides  that, 
have  no  end  of  trouble  in  getting  back  to  camp.  As  I  shifted 
about,  trying  to  find  out  some  way  to  save  the  trout,  I  stepped 
from  the  boulder  to  another  rock,  and  from  that  saw  some- 
thing that  gave  me  hope.  It  was  a  little  bit  of  sand  among 
the  rocks  about  a  dozen  yards  below,  just  at  the  lower  edge 
of  the  pool,  where  the  water  began  to  shoal  and  ripple.  This 
tiny  beach  was  in  shape  a  segment,  about  five  feet  long  by 
perhaps  three  wide  in  its  broadest  part,  and  it  shelved  sharply 
to  the  water. 

"  There  was  my  chance  to  land  the  fish.  I  did  some  hard 
and  careful  climbing  in  the  next  fifteen  minutes.  It  would 
have  been  none  too  easy  work  for  an  unencumbered  man  to 
get  to  the  sandbar,  and  I  had,  besides,  to  keep  the  two  trout 
well  in  hand  and  not  let  them  gain  slack  line  for  an  instant. 
But  I  started  in  to  get  there  and  followed  around  the  edge  of 
the  pool,  taking  to  the  water  whenever  it  would  help  my  foot- 
ing, scrambling  and  crawling  among  the  boulders — even 
rolling  round  the  shoulder  of  one  big  rock  where  a  misstep 
would  have  plunged  me  into  deep  water — and  all  the  time 
dividing  my  attention  between  the  tip  of  my  rod  and  my 
footing.  I  waded  the  last  five  yards  of  the  distance  and 
reached  the  little  sand  s*rip  with  the  two  trout  still  stretch- 
ing the  leader. 

"  It  was  clear  sailing  after  that,  thoogh  it  required  patient 
work  to  coax  my  fish  into  the  shoal  waier.  Two  or  three 
times  when  I  thought  I  had  them  headed  for  the  beach  all 
right,  one  or  tl-ie  other  would  make  a  rush  away,  and  I  would 
have  to  give  them  line-  But  at  last  I  got  them  both  coming 
on  together,  and  when  their  noses  were  within  two  feet  of  the 
sand  1  gave  them  the  butt  of  the  rod  until  it  bent  almost 
double,  and  up  on  the  beach  they  came  flopping,  game  to  the 
finish.  In  a  moment  morel  had  jumped  between  them  and 
the  water,  and  the  battle  was  mine. 

"  I  was  still  on  the  sandbar  bending  over  my  prizes,  string- 
ing them  on  a  forked  willow  shoot  that  I  had  cut  after  end- 
ing their  struggles  with  a  tap  on  the  head. 

" '  What  luck  ? '  came  down  a  call  from  Ned  Watson,  who 
had  just  appeared  at  the  brink  of  the  canyon  looting  for 
me.  For  answer  I  lifted  to  his  view  two  handsome  black- 
spotted  mountain  trout,  one  of  which  weighed  two  pounds 
and  the  other  a  pound  and  three-quarters — and  I  yelled  like 
a  Comanche,  just  once,  because  I  couldn't  help  it." 

Salmon  in  the  Bast. 


Facts  of  decided  interest  relative  to  salmon  at  sea  and  in 
the  coast  waters  of  the  Eastern  States  have  just  been  pub- 
lished by  the  United  States  Fish  Commissioners  in  a  bulletin 
written  by  Mr.  Hugh  M.  Smith.  The  purpose  of  the  paper 
L»  to  record  the  presence  of  salmon  at  points  on  the  Atlantic 
coast  or  at  sea  in  localities  more  or  less  remote  from  the 
places  where  fry  have  been  deposited.  It  is  known  that 
when  the  young  fish  have  been  placed  in  rivers  at  the  proper 
seaoon  urged  by  an  "instinct  of  nativity,"  the  s»lmon  seek 
the  sea  and  will  return  later  to  the  river  in  which  they  were 
placed.  Any  data,  then,  of  a  reliable  character,  having  to  do 
with  salmon  outside  and  beyond  the  rivers,  will  lead  to  a 
better  understanding  ot  the  success  or  failure  of  this  partic- 
ular fish  culture. 

As  Mr.  A.  N.  Cheney  wrote  some  years  ago  in  Forest  and 
Stream,  there  are  two  theories  as  to  the  movement  of  salmon. 
"One  theory  is  that  all  the  salmon  of  the  rivers  along  a  coast 
may  journey  down  to  the  sea  an>«  then  move  ultimately  in 
one  great  body  southward  along  the  coast  unti  1  they  find 
water  of  suitable  temperature  with  an  abundance  of  food,  in 
which  tosp°nd  their  time  in  growing  fat,  until  the  spawning 
instinct  warns  them  to  return,  when  they  proceed  north- 
ward, each  river  school  entering  its  own  particular  river  as 
the  main  school  arrives  opposite  the  river  mouth.  Another 
theory  is  that  the  saicoon  of  each  river,  as  they  arrive  at  its 
mouth  after  descending  from  its  head  waters,  go  out  to  sea 
sufficiently  far  to  find  conditions  of  temperature  and  food 
which  suit  them  and  there  they  remain  separate  from  the 
salmon  of  other  rivers,  until  it  is  time  for  them  to  return  to 
fresh  water." 

It  is  the  latter  theory,  that  salmon  never  go  far  from  the 
river  where  they  were  born,  which  to-day  is  held  to  be  the 
correct  one. 

It  does  not  seem  as  if  the  well-devised  plans  of  introducing 
the  salmon  of  the  Pacific  Coast  (Oncorhyncbus  chouicha) 
had  succeeded  in  Atlantic  waters.  As  many  as  12,000,000 
fry  were  deposited  in  rivers  and  other  waters  tributary  to  the 
Atlantic  There  is,  however,  the  possibility  that  some  of 
these  Pacific  Coast  fish  have  escaped  the  notice  of  Eastern 
fisherman.  For  their  identification,  the  following  plain  differ- 
ences are  presented  :  The  Atlantic  had  9  rays  in  the  anal  fin, 
the  Pacific  salmon  J6.  There  are  120  scales  between  the  gill 
opening  and  the  base  of  the  tail  in  the  Atlantic,  and  150  in 
the  Pacidc  salmon.  The  differences  in  the  rays  of  the  anal 
fin — 9  and  16 — are  the  more  conspicuous  and  easier  to  note. 

Many  salmon  have  been  taken  in  the  coast  waters  of 
Maine,  which  would  be  natural,  since  the  Kennebec  and 
Penobscot  are  original -salmon  rivers.  Inquiries  have  been 
instituted  as  to  the  finding  of  salmon  in  the  sea  at  some  dis- 
tance from  the  Maine  coast,  and  they  have  been  taken  in 
Mantinicus,  Monhegan,  and  off  Mount  Desert. 

In  the  waters  off  Cranberry  Isles  many  salmon  have  been 
caught.  In  fishing  for  cod  with  a  trawl,  a  fifteen-pound 
salmon  was  takeo  near  Cranberry  Isle  last  year.  The  Cran- 
berry Islands  are  twenty-five  miles  east  of  Penobscot  Bay, 
and  thirty-five  miles  in  a  straight  line  from  the  month  of  the 
river.  Many  salmon  have  been  captured  off  the  Massachu- 
setts coast,  and  a  number  in  Cape  Cod  Bay.  During  the  last 
five  or  six  years  a  few  salmon  have  been  caught  every  season 
in  the  vicinity  of  Gloucester.  Last  year  five  salmon  were 
found  in  the  traps.  In  1891  a  twenty-eight-pound  salmon 
was  caught  on  a  cod  line  off  Salem  Harbor.  A  salmon  very 
far  out  at  sea,  and  swimming  at  a  great  depth,  was  taken  by 
a  hook  off  Gloucester.  As  the  trawl  line  had  a  length  of 
from  twenty  to  twenty-five  fathoms,  the  deep  swimming  of 
the  salmon  is  a  novel  fact. 

Off' Sandy  Hook  a  few  salmon  have  been  taken,  some  weigh- 
ing from  twelve  to  forty  pouods.  In  the  vicinity  of  Long 
Branch  two  were  taken  in  a  pound  in  1892.  They  weighed 
from  ten  to  fifteen  pounds.  Last  year  at  Mantoloking,  X.  J., 
thirty-five  miles  south  of  Sandy  Hook,  two  more  salmon  were 
taken,  and  these  were  the  first  ever  found  in  these  waters. 

One  remarkable  capture  was  made  last  year  by  a  mackerel 
schooner  sailing  from  Gloucester.  When  working  for  mack- 
erel, about  April  10,  oil  the  coast  of  Delaware,  fifty  miles  dis- 
tant from  the  Fenwick  Island  Lightship,  a  school  of  mackerel 


566

LJche  16,  1894 


was  found  and  the  seine  was  drawn.  In  the  seine  a  fifteen- 
pound  salmon  in  fine  condition  was  taken.  The  vessel  was 
fully  sixty  miles  from  the  coast.  This  is  the  only  instance 
known  by  the  United  States  Fish  Commission  of  a  salmon 
taken  so  far  from  the  coast.  From  what  river  it  came  is 
undeterminable.  Was  it  a  Hudson  river  era  Delaware  fish  ? 
The  probability  is  that,  notwithstanding  the  endeavors  ot  the 
Fish  Commission  to  find  out  when  salmon  are  caught  in 
pounds  or  traps,  information  is  difficult  to  procure  because  of 
the  laws  in  certain  States  which  prohibit  the  taking  of  salmon 
in  nets,  and  require  the  return  to  the  water  alive  of  all  fish  so 
caught. 

From  Mr.  Smith's  notes  the  fact  is  positive  that  there  are 
now  manv  salmon  in  the  Atlantic  rivers,  and  the  majority  of 
them  are  due  to  the  work  of  the  State  Fish  Commission.  If 
the  salmon  are  found  at  sea,  natural  conditions  only  present 
themselves,  and  in  due  time  the  fish  will  return  to  the  rivers; 
that  is  to  say,  if  wise  laws  be  enforced  providing  for  their 
catch  during  a  limited  period.  As  to  the  free-roamiDg  6sh 
of  the  ocean,  man's  efforts  to  exterminate  them  can  never 
amount  to  a  great  deal.  If  scarce  in  one  locality,  they  are 
abundant  in  another.  The  mean  is  always  about  the  same. 
There  is  no  diminution  in  the  catch  of  mackerel.cod  and  olue- 
fish  in  the  average  of  twenty-five  years.  With  fish,  however, 
like  Bhad  and  salmon,  which  descend  and  ascend  rivers,  every 
single  fish  could  be  captured  if  it  were  thought  worth  while, 
and  there  were  no  laws  made  for  their  protection. 

Casting  Reoords. 


The  champion  single-handed  expert  By  caster  of  the  world 
for  distance  is  K.  C.  Leonard  of  New  York,  who  made  His 
record  of  102*  feet  in  New  York  May  23,  1888.  He  used  a 
rod  that  weighed  10}  ounces  and  was  a  little  over  11  feet 
long. 

H.  W.  Hawes  of  New  York  holds  the  record  for  salmon 
casting.  His  best  c«st,  138  feet,  was  made  May  23,  1888.  A 
year  previous  he  captured  the  record  for  switch  fly  casting 
with  a  performance  of  102  feet.  The  heavy  bass  casting  re- 
cord of  260  feet,  1  inch,  was  made  by  W.  H.  Wood  in  New 
York,  May  26, 1887. 

S.Frey,  177  feet,  2  inches,  is  the  champion  minnow  caster, 
and' the  light  fly  rod  record  of  95  feet  is  held  by  Leonard. —

How   to   Cook  Trout. 


The  trout  must  be  cooked  in  the  open  air  by  a  wood  fire 
kindled  on  the  ground.  Clean  and  scale  your  fish,  open, 
clean  and  wash  him  internally;  take  for  a  one-pound  Jish 
two  small  6kewers  of  wood  ;  upon  each  spread  a  piece  of  fat 
salt  pork  half  an  inch  square ;  annex  him  by  the  fail  to  a 
twig  of  pliant  wood,  which  suffer  to  bend  over  the  fire  so  as 
to  bring  the  fish  opposite  the  blaze.  Cook  quickly  and  eat 
with  salt  and  lemon  juice. 


THE  KENNEL. 

DOING-S  IN  DOGDOM, 


The  Eastern  Field  Trial  Club's  Derby  closed  on  May  15th 
with  30  entries,  32  English  setters  and  6  pointers. 

The  fox  terrier  dog  Blemton  Tramp  by  Cn  Bacchanal — 
Tiara,  has  been  purchased  by  a  party  in  Pasadena. 

A.  C.  Wilmerding,  president  of  the  American  Spaniel 
Club,  failed  for  England  on  the  6th.  He  will  visit  the  prin- 
ciple spaniel  kennels  while  abroad. 


W.Stewart  Diffenderfer,  the  erstwhile  St.  Bernard  fancier, 
has  recently  imported  the  English  setter  Count  Beaufort.  He 
is  from  Mr.  Llewellyn's  kennel  and  is  by  a  son  of  Moss 
Windem,  a  brother  to  Count  Noble. 


It  is  noticeable  that  the  Merced  meeting,  which  takes 
place  early  next  November,  is  already  creating  considerable 
stir  among  the  various  leashmen  throughout  the  State.  The 
prizes  for  this  meeting  will  be  of  considerable  value  and,  of 
course,  interest  in  the  affair  will  be  of  corresponding 
magnitude. 

John  Eagan  of  this  city  had  one  of  the  finest  young  grey- 
hounds that  probably  was  in  the  State  killed  while  running  a 
course  at  Ocean  View  on  Sunday  last.  The  bare  which  this 
young  bitch  was  foltowiog  ran  presumably  for  safety  towards 
a  horse  that  was  grazing  in  the  field,  and  the  hound,  of 
course  dashed  in  and  came  into  such  violeot  collision  with  the 
horse's  legs  that  she  broke  her  neck,  and,  of  course,  dropped 
dead  on  the  spot.  Two  hundred  dollars  could  not  have  pur- 
chased her  from  Mr.  Eagan.  She  was  by  the  great  Skyrocket, 
out  of  his  celebrated  bitch  Sly  Girl,  and  just  twelve  months 
old.  

Representative  Tucker  of  Virginia  told  a  story  in  Con- 
gress daring  the  discussion  over  the  distribution  of  seeds  by 
the  Department  of  Agriculture  lately,  which  was  very  amus- 
ing if  it  did  not  prove  (hat  the  Government  is  established 
for  the  benefit  of  individuals.  Hon.  Mr.  Tucker  said  that 
down  in  Appomattox  county  there  lived  an  old  farmer  to 
whom  he  had  on  several  occasions  sent  packages  of  seeds  and 
shipments  of  fish  from  the  Kish  Commission,  with  which  to 
stock  the  creeks  and  ponds  on  his  place.  One  court  day, 
when  he  was  in  town,  his  farmer  friend  approached  him  and 
in  a  confidential  way  said  :  "  Tuck,  you've  sent  me  seeds  and 
fish  two  or  three  times,  and  I  am  very  much  obliged  to  you 
for  them,  but  there  is  one  thing  I  wish  you  would  do  if  you 
HO." 

"  What's  that  V  "  asked  the  Representative. 

"  Well,  I  want  a  thoroughbred  hound  pup  for  my  kennel, 
and  I  thought  maybe  you  folks  up  at  Washington  could  send 
it  down  to  me  just  as  well  as  not,  if  I  only  asked  for  it." 

"  Why,  certainly,  it  will  give  me  great  pleasure  to  send  the 
puppy  to  you,  and  as  soon  ae  I  get  back  to  Washington  you 
may  look  out  for  him."  The  Representative  said  that,  so  far 
as  he  could  se*»,  there  was  no  reason  why  the  Government 
should  not  go  into  the  business  of  supplying  the  constituents 
of  Congressmen  with  dogs  to  improve  their  breeds,  as  well  as 
seeds  to  improve  their  crops,  and  fish  to  add  to  their  food 
supply.  \So,M  he  continued,  "I  hunted  up  a  thoroughbred 
hound  puppy,  had  him  nicely  crated,  prepaid  the  express 
charges,  and  sent  him  down.  And  you  can  bet  that  constitu- 
ent U  solid  for  J'jcktr." — Am.  Field. 


The  Oollie. 

In  response  to  the  requests  of  a  number  of  subscribers  we 
publish  below  the  standard  of  the  collie  and  scale  of  points 
used  as  a  guide  in  judging  as  published  by  The  Collie  Club  of 
America  : 

THE   STANDARD. 

The  skcll  of  the  collie  should  be  quite  flat  and  rather 
broad,  with  fine  tapering  muzzle  of  fair  length  and  mouth  the 
least  bit  overshot;  the  eyes  wide  apart,  almond-shaped  and 
obliquely  set  in  the  head  ;  the  skin  of  the  head  tightly  drawn, 
with  no  folds  at  the  corners  of  the  mouth  ;  the  ears  as  small 
as  possible,  semi-erect  when  surprised  or  listening,  at  other 
times  thrown  back  and  buried  in  the  "  ruff." 

The  neck  should  be  long,  arched  and  muscular,  the  should- 
ers also  long,  sloping  and  fine  at  the  withers ;  the  chest  to  be 
deep  and  narrow  in  front,  but  of  fair  breadth  behind  the 
shoulders. 

The  back  to  be  short  and  level,  with  the  loin  rather  long, 
somewhat  arched  and  powerful ;  brush  long,  "  wi'  upward 
swirl "  at  the  end  and  normally  carried  low. 

The  forelegs  should  be  perfectly  straight,  with  a  fair 
amount  of  flat  bone;  the  pasterns  rather  long,  springy  and 
slightly  lighter  of  bone  than  the  rest  of  the  leg ;  the  foot  with 
toes  well  arched  and  compact  soles,  very  thick. | 

The  hind-quarters,  drooping  slightly,  should  be  very 
long  from  the  hip  bones  to  the  hocks,  which  should  be  neither 
turned  inwards  nor  outwards,  with  stifle  well  bent.  The  hip 
bones  should  be  wide  and  rather  ragged. 

The  coat,  except  on  legs  and  head,  should  be  as  abundant 
as  possible  ;  the  outer  coat  straight,  hard  and  rather  stiff",  the 
under  coat  furry  and  so  dense  that  it  would  be  difficult  to 
find  the  skin;  the  "ruff"  and  "frill"  especially  should  be 
very  full ;  there  should  be  but  little  feather  on  the  forelegs 
and  none  below  the  hocks  on  the  hind  legs. 

Color  immaterial. 

Symmetry — The  dog  should  be  of  fair  length  on  the  leg, 
and  his  movements  wiry  and  graceful.  He  should  not  be  too 
small ;  height  of  dogs  from  22  to  24  inches ;  of  bitches  from 
20  to  22  inches. 

The  greyhound  type  is  very  objectionable,  as  there  is  no 
brain  room  in  the  skull,  and  with  this,  there  is  to  be  found  a 
fatuous  expression  and  a  long,  powerful  jaw. 

The  setter  type  is  also  to  be  avoided,  with  its  pendulous 
ear,  full  soft  eves,  heavilv-feathered  legs,  and  straight,  short 
flag. 

The  smooth  collie  differs  only  from  the  rough  in  its  coat, 
wbich  should  tie  hard,  dense  ana*  quite  smooth.

Note. — Point  judging  is  not  advocated,  but  figures  are 
only  made  use  of  to  show  the  comparative  value  attached  to 
the  different  properties;  no  marks  aie  given  for  "general 
symmetry,"  which  is  of  course  in  judging,  a  point  of  utmost 
importance. 

The  above  standard  was  compiled  by  the  most  prominent 
Eastern  breeders  of  the  Collie  and  is  recognized  as  the  only 
American  standard  of  the  breed;  but  in  point  of  fact  like  al- 
most all  the  standard  is  very  incomplete  because  of  its  being 
so  vague  in  its  details.  This  standard  differsbut  little  from  the 
old  Standard  of  Stonechenge  published  in  1882,  but  the  old 
standard  gives  a  much  better  description  of  the  parts. 

There  is  not  a  line  in  the  above  that  describes  the  "stop" 
or  brow.  For  aught  the  standard  says  a  dog  with  the  stop 
of  a  mastiff  is  equally  valuable  to  one  that  has  no  more  than 
a  typical  fox  terrier.  Such,  however,  is  not  the  case.  Any 
recognized  collie  judge  will  tell  you  at  once  that  the  brow 
must  be  only  slightly  raised. 

The  standard  calls  for  "semi-erect"  ears  when  listening. 
A  fox  terrier's  ears  are  semi-erect,  but  a  fox  terrier's  ears  on 
a  collie  would  be  an  abomination.  The  tip  of  the  ear — one 
half  or  three-fourths  of  the  ear  should  turn  over  at  the  top, 
outwards  and  slightly  forwards.  The  whole  or  one-half  of 
the  ear  should  not  droop.  Head  and  expression  are  given 
fifteen  points  and  one-half  of  the  expression  is  in  the  car- 
riage of  the  ears.  A  collie  with  his  ears  on  the  side  of  his 
head  like  a  setter  cannot  have  a  good  expression;  they  must 
be  carried  quite  high  on  the  head,  comparatively  speaking. 
"Brush  long  and  normally  carried  low"  does  not  describe 
the  proper  tail  for  a  collie.  We  have  seen  plenty  of  setters 
with  their  tails  long  and  carried  low.  The  brush  of  a  collie 
must  be  bushy  as  well  as  long  and  the  heavier  it  is  the  less 
liable  the  dog  is  to  curl  it  over  his  back  like  a  pug  or  Pom- 
eranian. The  tail  of  a  collie  should  never  be  so  carried  and 
is  penalized  by  ihe  judge  for  both  itself  and  in  the  sym- 
metry of  the  dog  as  a  whole.  The  feathery  tail  orsetter  tail, 
which  is  often  seen  on  the  black  and  tan  collie  is  too  strong 
a  reminder  of  the  Gordon  setter  cross  and  should  not  be  tol- 
erated. 

Unless  the  judge  is  very  painstaking,  a  typical,  abundant 
coat  will  hide  a  lot  of  faults.  The  collie  has  often  to  stop 
suddenly  when  going  down  steep  hillsides,  the  importance  of 
oblique,  sloping,  well  muscled  shoulders  is  consequently 
great.  The  back  ribs  should  also  be  noticed.  They  should 
never  be  short,  as  in  the  greyhound. 

The  standard  calls  for  an  undercoat  so  dense  that  one  can 
scarcely  find  the  skin.  This  unquestionably  is  the  proper 
thing  and  a  dog  with  no  undercoat  at  all  should  be  heavily 
penalized.  The  collie  was  intended  for  rough  work.  He  is 
called  upon  in  snow,  sleet  and  rain  and  his  coat  must  be 
appropriate  for  such  conditions,  but  on  the  other  hand  our 
Eastern  judges  in  judging  collies  in  California  should,  we 
think,  be  a  trifle  lenient  in  the  matter  as  nature  can  not  be 
expected  to  provide  collies  with  heavy  undercoats  in  a 
climate  like  ours.  It  gets  hot  enough  for  anyone  in  the  East 
in  the  summer,  but  the  winter  comes  around  pretty  regular 
and  the  collie  retains  his  coat.  Collies  bred  in  parts  of  Cali- 
fornia where  the  winter  is  but  a  trifle  colder  than  the  sum- 
mer, have  no  call  for  such  a  coat  and  they  very  rarely  have 
one. 

"Color  immaterial,"  that  sounds  well,  and  unquestionably 
should  be  a  fact,  but  every  breeder  of  collies  knows  it  to  be  a 
fallacy.  Every  breeder  knows  that  if  he  has  two  litters  »f 
puppies,  one  sable  and  white  and  the  other  black  and  tan,  the 
former  will  all  be  sold  and  delivered  before  one-third  of  the 
latter  can  be  sold  at  one-half  the  price.  Sable  and  while  and 
black,  white  and  tan  are  preferable  to  black  and  tan  in  the 


eyes  of  the  public,  the  standard  notwithstanding.  We  would 
not  look  upon  black  and  tan  as  an  objectionable  color  by  any 
means,  but  had  we  two  specimens  before  us  equal  in  all  points 
save  color,  one  a  sable  and  the  other  a  black  and  tan,  the 
former  would  win  and  we  believe  that  any  recognized  collie 
judge  will  agree  with  us.  Though  he  might  possibly  beg  the 
question  by  saying  that  the  sable  had  the  best  expression  and 
won  on  that  account. 

At  the  Oakland  show  we  were  told  by  a  collie  fancier  that 
Bable  was  not  a  recognized  color,  that  the  black  and  tan  was 
the  only  color  proper  to  a  Scotch  collie.  Stonehenge,  in  his 
issue  of  1888,  speaks  only  of  the  black  and  tan  but  it  was  only 
an  oversight  on  his  part  for  in  1882  he  wrote  as  follows  :  "In 
both  varieties  (meaning  the  smooth  and  the  rough)  the 
whole  body  is  sometimes  tan  or  tan  mixed  with  white." 

The  Pacific  Fox  Terrier  Club. 


The  regular  monthly  meeting  of  the  Pacific  Fox  Terriei 
Club  held  at  the  office  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman,  on 
Tuesday  evening  last,  was  one  of  the  most  fraternal  meetings 
ever  held  by  this  popular  club.  While  there  was  but  little 
actual  business  transacted,  many  very  plausible  schemes  were 
proposed  and  discussed  at  length.  J.  B.  Martin  occupied 
the  chair  in  the  absence  of  the  president,  Jos.  McLatchie 
the  secretary.  Treasurer  Geo-  W.  Debenham,  Edw.  Caws- 
ton,  A.  Gonzale3  and  A.  Russell  Crowell  were  present 

The  closing  of  the  entries  to  the  second  division  of  the  Pro- 
duce Stakes  was  postponed  until  Aug.  14. 

It  was  resolved  and  the  secretary  ordered  to  write  to  the 
different  Kennel  Clubs  in  California  requesting  them  to 
bench  fox  terriers  in  stalls  3  feet  deep,  2  feet  wide  and  3 
feet  high,  the  object  being  to  prevent  repetitions  of  the  acci- 
dent that  occurred  in  1S93.  in  other  words  to  prevent  fight- 
ing over  the  tops  of  the  benches. 

The  secretary  was  also  instructed  to  write  the  various  clubs 
requesting  them  to  abolish  novice  classes  for  fox  terriers. 
The  object  of  this  class  in  the  East  is  merely  to  bring  out 
specimens  that  would  not  be  shown  otherwise,  and  to  give 
the  owners  of  large  kennels  a  consolation  purse.  These  ob- 
jects to  not  exist  on  this  coast  and  the  club  consider  the  class 
a  detriment  to  the  best  interests  of  the  fox  terrier. 

A  stud  dog  stake  was  established.  The  purse  to  go  to  the 
sire  of  the  winning  puppy  at  a  show  to  be  decided  upon 
later.  Mr.  Clawston  nominated  Raby  Rasper;  Mr.  McLatchie 
nominated  Blemton  Reefer;  Mr.  Debenham  Frisco  Diablo. 

At  the  next  meeting  of  the  club  on  July  10th,  the  mem- 
bers will  each  bring  a  grown  dog  with  them  for  comparison 
and  discussion. 


Coursing. 


Kennel  Registry. 


If  the  reasons  given  by  H.  C.  Lowe,  of  Lawrence,  Kan.,  in 
a  recent  number  of  the  American  Field  for  the  changing  of 
Rule  IS,  are  good,  it  would  almost  follow  that  mostly  all  the 
States  in  the  Union  would  require  some  change  in  this  rule 
as  the  conditions  of  coursing  are  more  or  less  different  in  all. 
Surely  the  American  Coursing  Board  should  hesitate  before 
it  adopts  so  pernicuous  a  system  as  that  advocated  by  Mr. 
Lowe.

The  following  regarding  Riley  Grannan  and  M.  F.  Dwyer 
appeared  in  the  New  York  Herald  of  June  2d :  "  The  chief 
event  of  the  day  was  the  Fleetwood  Stakes,  for  three-year-olds, 
at  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth.  It  was  the  fourth  race  on  the  card. 
Dobbins  was  naturally  made  the  favorite  in  the  betting,  as  the 
best  he  had  against  h;m  were  Aurelian  and  Rubicon.  For 
some  time  Mike  Dwyer  has  been  laying  low  for  Riley  Gran- 
nan. He  found  an  opportunity  to  nail  him  on  this  race. 
Grannan  thought  that  surely  one  horse  in  the  six  would  be 
good  for  Dobbins,  and  lost  about  $13,000  on  kis  opinion, 
Plunger  Dwyer  accepting  4  to  5  for  his  money.  After  the 
race  Grannan  6tood  at  his  stand  with  blanched  face  and  star- 
ing eyes,  unable  to  think  of  anything  but  his  loss.  It  made 
him  desperate,  and  in  the  very  next  race  he  grabbed  a  fistful 
of  big  bills  out  of  his  strong  box  and  went  all  around  the 
ring,  planting  it  on  Connoisseur  at  5  to  2  and  2  to  1.  In  this 
way  he  won  back  about  $9,000.  Grannan  is  the  plunger  of 
the  year.  Mike  Dwyer  saw  Dobbins  win  from  the  club  house 
balcony. 

In  speaking  of  the  alleged  popularity  of  the  runners,  the 
Western  Breeder  says:  ''People  who  think  the  gallopers  are 
outdrawing  the  harness  horse  would  ere  this  have  changed 
their  minds  had  they  attended  the  really  excellent  running 
meeting  given  in  St.  Josegh  last  week.  The  heaviest  receipts 
at  the  gate  for  one  day  amounted  to  $175  only.  The  harness 
horse  isstill  the  drawing  card  in  the  West  and  will  socon- 
tinue. 


At  the  Philadelphia  Horse  Show  which  ended  June  5th, 
the  prizes  for  standard-bred  trotters  were  awarded  as  follows: 
First  prize,  Stramgraves,  br  s,  16$  hands,  by  Stamboul,  2:07J, 
dam  Lady  Graves,  by  Nutwood,  2:1$$  ;  breeder,  L.  J.  Rose, 
Los  Angeles.  Second  prize,  $75,  Stamboul  Prince,  by  Stam- 
boul, 2:07A,  dam  Nava,  by  Dictator.  It  is  quite  an  honor  for 
the  great  sons  of  Stamboul  to  win  the  two  leading  prizes. 

Ben  Wkight  placed  on  record  this  afternoon  the  assign- 
ment of  his  interest  in  the  Oakland  Trotting  Park  to  the 
California  Jockey  Club.  The  rent  will  remain  the  same, 
$200  a  month.but  the  clause  calling  for  the  building  of  a  $2000 
club  house  »t  the  park  will  not  be  insisted  on  by  the  owner, 
James  Mee.  The  lease  was  originally  for  ten  years,  and  has 
nine  years  to  run.

Salisbury  Orders  The  New  Sulky  Wheel. 

Among  the  hundreds  of  thoughtful  horsemen  who  are  in- 
terested in  the  breeding  and  developing  of  fast  trotters  and 
pacers,  there  is  no  one  that  has  contributed  more  towards 
bringing  champions  from  the  ranks  than  Monroe  Salisbury. 
Many  wonder  why  it  is  so  and  attribute  his  success  to  "luck," 
but  a  conversation  with  this  gentleman  on  the  subject  of 
training  will  quickly  dispel  this  idea.  He  studies  every 
measure  carefully  that  he  thinks  will  give  his  horses  the 
greatest  ease  to  make  the  fastest  time.  Booting,  harnessing 
and  shoeing  combined  with  his  own  method  of  conditioning, 
have  worked  wonders.  As  soon  as  the  first  bike  sulky  ap- 
peared, his  order  was  in  for  one  inst  like  it.  He  even  went 
further.  He  purchased  the  sulky  that  the  peerless  Nancy 
Hanks  trotted  to  her  unapproachable  record,  and  used  that 
in  the  great  races  in  which  Directum  got  his  title  of  "King 
of  Trotting  Stallions." 

On  his  return  from  the  East  he  became  very  much  inter- 
ested in  the  roller-bearing  sulky  wheels,  which  were  used  by 
C.  A.  Durfee,  and  when,  a  few  short  weeks  after  he  read  the 
following  testimonials  he  became  convinced  that  he  most 
have  a  pair  uf  those  wheels: 

Los  ANGELES,  November  4, 1S93. 
Me.  A.  T.  Hatch— Dear  Sir  :  I  would  like  to  sav  that  I  have  used 
your  roller-bearing  sulky,  and  like  it  better  tbari  any  other  that  I 
ever  used.  MeKinney  trotted  in  2:ll^i  at  Stockton  to  one  of  your 
roller-bearing  sulkies,  which  is  faster  than  he  ever  trotted  toany 
Other  sulky.  I  will  cheerfully  recommend  it  to  all  horsemen.  Yours, 
etc  C.  A.  Duefee. 

Los  Angeles,  October  17,  1893. 
Mr..  A.  T.  Hatch,  San  Francisco— Dear  Sir  :  I  sent  your  sulky  to 
Oakland  by  Mr.  Keating.  I  used  it  at  Santa  Ana,  and  gave  Bet  Mad- 
ison a  record  of  2:31  and  Almo  J.  a  record  of  2:19,  and  at  Los  Angeles 
gave  Regina  a  record  of  2:20  in  the  three-minute  class.  Mr.  Durfee 
gave  McKinney  his  record  of  2:11J^  at  Stockton  in  it.  Every  one  that 
used  it  said  that  it  was  the  best  running  snlkv  ihev  had  ever  tried. 
I  lite  it  better  than  any  I  have  used  :  it  had  no  jerks  like  the  rest  of 
the  bikes:  the  shafts  were  as  steady  as  the  old-fashion  wheels.  I 
will  be  in  San  Francisco  nest  month,  and  would  like  to  talk  with 
you  about  the  sulky.     Yours  truly,  Walter  Maben. 

Sas  Fbakosco,  November  27, 1S93. 
Me.  a.  T.  Hatch— Dear  Sir :  Yours  of  the  25th  at  hand  and  contents 
noted.  I  would  say  in  regard  to  the  roller  bearings,  such  as  was  used 
iu  your  sulky  the  past  season,  that  in  my  experience  as  a  snlkv 
repairer.  I  foun  i  it  to  be  a  first-class  bearing  in  every  respect.  It  is 
dost  proof,  needs  no  lubrication  or  adjusting,  the  three  qualifications 
necessary  for  a  pertect  sulky  bearing.    Yours  truly, 

W.  J.  Kehkey,  517  Valencia  street  (bike  repairer  r. 

These  roller  bearings  are  manufactured  by  the  Eureka 
Roller  Bearing  Company  of  this  city.  Payton  &  Keuuj,  of 
517  Valencia  street,  having  had  a  great  deal  of  experience  in 
makiDg  and  repairing  bicycles,  started  in  to  make  the  wheels 
and  bearings,  and  last  Tuesday  they  were  shipped  to  Monroe 
Salisbury,  Council  Bluffs.  The  order  read  :  "  if  it  increases 
the  speed  of  any  of  my  horses  one-fifth  of  a  second,  I  will  be 
satisfied."  Before  they  were  shipped,a  representative  called 
at  the  office  of  the  company  and  was  astonished  to  see  what 
a  wonderful  help  it  will  be  toward  getting  the  two-minute 
trotter.  Suspended  on  a  spindle  each  of  the  wheels  on  being 
set  in  motion  revolved  nine  and  a  half  minutes.  When 
placed  on  a  floor  and  tested  it  was  shown  that  with  the  same 
amount  of  weight  in  the  two  sulkies  the  new-style  bearings 
moved  much  easier  and  required  about  one-third  less  power 
to  move  than  the  other,  and  by  adding  more  weights  on  the 
sulkies  the  difference  seemed  to  be  in  the  same  ratio.  Last 
January  we  published  the  following  article  on  these  Eureka 
Roller  Beariogs,and  at  this  time  it  will  be  found  most  appro- 
priate, for  orders  from  electric  light  companies,  railroads 
and  horsemen  who  want  to  get  the  very  best  roller  bearings 
are  coming  in  fast. 

The  principle  of  these  bearings  is  most  ingenious,  every 
part  of  the  bearing  moving  so  there  is  no  friction.  It  eoosists 
of  two  series  of  rollers,  one  bearing  on  the  shaft  and  casing, 
the  other  bearing  only  on  the  bearing  rollers  to  keep  the  latter 
separate,  a  ring  bearing  on  its  inoer  side  on  small  journals  of 
the  separating  rollers,  and  essentially  a  ring  interposed 
between  said  journals  at  its  periphery,  and  small  journals  of 
the  bearing  rollers  at  its  inner  side  to  keep  the  orbit  of  the 
separating  rollers  concentric  with  the  shaft,  all  of  the  parts 
rolling  without  slip  or  sliding  friction.  They  have  been  so 
successfully  tried  by  some  of  the  cable  railway  companies 
within  the  past  few  years,  and  in  every  instance  have  given 
the  utmost  satisfaction,  standing  the  most  severe  tests  aDd 
lasting  many  times  as  long  as  any  other  style  of  bearing.  On 
the  Piedmont  cable  road,  Oakland,  a  carrier  pulley  fitted  with 
these  bearings  ran  continually  from  February  10,  1891,  until 
January  2, 1893,  690  days  at  a  speed  of  312  revolutions  per 
minute,  equaling  37-4,000  revolutions  per  day,  making,  con- 
sequently, 258,721,400  revolutions  in  the  690  days,  which 
would  be  equal  to  running  133,000  miles. 

A  passenger  car  wheel  doing  this  work,  making  the  same 
number  of  revolutions,  would  be  equal  to  running  138  trips 
from  San  Francisco  to  New  York,  estimating  the  distance  at 
3,000  miles  and  this  without  oiling  or  attention.  Had  the 
abaft  spoken  of  in  this  pulley  been  made  of  hard  steel  instead 
of  soft  steel,  no  doubt  it  would  be  good  yet  and  for  years  to 
come.  During  all  this  time  the  boxes  containing  the  bear- 
ings were  never  opened,  and  received  no  attention  whatever, 
and  were  sometimes  wholly  under  water  in  winter  and  cov- 
ered with  dust  in  summer.  On  the  Powell  street  road  one 
of  these  depression  pulleys  ran  one  year  and  twenty-five  days 
under  great  pressure,  making  over  204,000,000  revolutions 
iu  that  period.  The  shaft  was  renewed  at  the  end  of  this 
time,  but  even  then  not  because  it  needed  to  be  renewed,  but 
for  the  purpose  of  putting  in  a  differently  constructed  shaft  as 
an  experiment.  The  Eureka  Roller  Bearings  Co.  has  a  con- 
tract with  the  Powell  street  road  to  fui-nish  it  with  depression 
pulleys  as  fast  as  the  old-style  bearings  are  used  up  at  a 
i  monthly  rental  of  much  less  than  the  monthly  cost  of  the  old 
.  ones. 

A  pair  of  skates  fitted  with  the  roller  bearings  at  the  last 
skating  rink  season  in  this  city  ran  about  500  miles,  and  were 
used  in  beating  the  best  previous  records.  The  speed  for  these 
bearings  was  about  4,000  revolutions  per  minute,  and  the 
bearings  are  good  for  thousands  of  miles  more. 

The  roller  bearing  for  sulkies  now  placed  on  the  market 
by  the  Eureka  Company  is  as  far  in  advance  of  the  ball-bear- 
■  ingas  the  ball-bearing  is  ahead  of  the  old-fashioned  axle.  It 
is  the  ideal  bearing,  being  absolutely  frictionless  it  does  not 
wear  out.  It  requires  no  oil  nor  care  and  cannot  easily  be 
tampered  with.  The  latest  pattern  of  roller  bearings  manu- 
factured by  this  company  for  sulkies  weighs  no  more  than 
ball  bearings.  They  are  made  of  hardened  steel,  every  part 
being  mathematically  accurate  in  construction,  highly  fin- 
ished and  working  perfectly.  Ball  bearings  for  sulky  axles 
are  a  very  delicate  piece  of  machinery,  the  wearing  surfaces 


of  the  balls  being  very  small,  they  soon  cut  into  the  adjacent  [ 
part.  The  balls  are  made  of  chilled  steel,  and  it  does  not  take 
them  very  long  to  wear  the  surfaces  of  the  grooves  irregu- 
larly, then  the  bearings  run  nearly  as  hard  as  the  old-fash- 
ioned bearings.  One  principal  advantage  of  the  roller-bear- 
ing is  that  the  surfaces  that  take  the  .veight  are  large,  and  all 
parts  of  the  bearing  moving  in  the  same  direction,  there  is 
no  wear  nor  friction. 

The  field  for  the  use  of  the  advantage  is  by  no  means  limi- 
ted to  sulkies  aod  bicycles,  as  they  can  be  made  any  size  and 
advantageously  applied  to  any  journal,  from  a  roller  skate  to 
a  propeller  shaft  in  an  ocean  steamer.  In  large  machines  the 
reduction  in  the  friction  and  consequent  gain  in  power  would 
represent  an  immense  item  of  profit,  and  the  saving  in  wear, 
power  and  oil  that  would  result  from  using  these  bearings 
on  all  kinds  of  rolling  stock  would  soon  pay  the  difference  in 
cost  over  the  old  style,  and  as  many  accidents  are  due  to  hot 
boxes  in  car  journals  (which  would  be  impossible  with  the 
roller  bearings),  it  would  in  many  instances  be  the  saving  of 
life  as  well  as  money. 

These  roller  hearings  and  their  method  of  application  are 
the  invention  of  an  attorney  of  this  city,  R.  W.  Hunt.  The 
company  incorporated  for  the  manufacture  of  them  has  for 
its  president  the  well-known  horticulturist  and  enthusiastic 
horseman,  A.  T.  Hatch.  Circulars  will  be  sent  on  applica- 
tion to  this  ofiice  or  605  Clay  street,  corner  of  Montgomery, 
and  all  who  are  interested  in  mechanics  would  do  well  to 
call  and  see  the  working  of  these  journals  for  bearings  of  all 
kinds. 


Innovations  for  the  Trotting  Turf. 


Races  in  Denver. 


Denver,  June  12. — Magnificent  weather  and  a  fast  track 
pleased  a  big  crowd  at  Overland  Park  to-day.  The  Hill 
Stock  Farm's  Nannie  E.  won  the  2:15  pace  handily  in  three 
straight  heats.  The  best  time  was  2:16$.  Salisbury's  Dr. 
S perry  was  in  this  race  but  was  very  unsteady,  and  came  in 
at  9,  9,  3,  6,  S  in  the  five  heats.  Rose  took  the  2:25  trot  in 
straight  heats  from  a  field  of  eight.  Salisbury's  Lulu  F., 
the  favorite,  was  drawn.     Best  t«me,  2:18$. 

T,  C.  Williams'  Lady  W.  took  the  2:40  trot  in  straight 
heats.  Best  time,  2:23.  Salisbury's  Altivo  came  2,  2,  4, 
takiEg  second  money. 

In  the  six-furlong  dash  Yankee  Ban  beat  eight  competitors 
by  a  short  head  in  a  fine  finish  in  I:l6|.  Ben  Cannon  took

Denver,  Junel3. — To-day  was  rather  an  off  day  at  Over- 
land Park,  half  the  program  »e  being  devoted  to  youngsters. 
Favorites  won  every  event.  The  hardest  battle  was  in  the 
half-mile  trot  for  yearlings.  Stella  Wood  line,  a  bay  fitly  by 
Wood  line,  went  in  a  hot  favorite  at  3  to  5,  but  came  only 
fifth  in  the  second  heat.  Then  she  landed  in  the  third  and 
fourth  heats  easily  with  the  odds  at  5  to  1  and  7  to  1.  During 
the  scrambles  there  was  a  lot  ol  hard  feeling  among  the  driv- 
ers. Etta  C.  was  set  back  for  shouting,  and  Rara  Avis  was 
ruled  out  for  foul  driving.  The  California  strings  were  not 
in  evidence  to-day.  They  are  waiting  for  to-morrow  and 
Friday.

Denver,  June  14 — At  Overland  Park  to-day  the  Califor- 
nia whirlwind  Victor  fooled-  the  talent,  but  the  victory  was 
so  easy  that  no  one  got  a  chance  to  win  after  the  initial  heat. 
Ten  to  one  was  offered,  bat  got  few  lakers  when  the  pacers 
went  to  the  pole  on  the  first  heat.  Even  Griffin,  the  owuer 
and  driver  of  the  speedy  little  black,  was  surprised  at  the 
result,  believing  that  Pilot  Knox  would  press  him  hard  for 
first  place. 

In  the  first  heat  at  the  half  Norton  broke  and  Victor  went 
to  the  front,  pacing  in  magnificent  style  and  very  fast.  In 
the  stretch  Eva  pulled  up  and  Pilot  lost  his  feet.  Victor  then 
pulled  out  of  the  crowd  with  the  greatest  ease  and  finished 
in  a  halting  rack  to  enable  the  tail-enders  to  save  distance. 
It  was  the  greatest  kind  of  a  victory,  and  the  son  of  Black 
Prince,  sired  by  Alcantara,  the  famous  Kentucky  horse,  re- 
ceived a  flattering  ovation. 

The  second  heat  was  finished  without  a  break,  Victor  com- 
ing in  a  winner  three  lengths  ahead  of  Eva.  Coming  down  the 
stretch  in  the  third  heat  Eva  tried  to  brush  Victor,  but  at  the 
word  from  Griffin,  Victor  pulled  away  from  the  string  and 
won  the  heat  with  ease.     Summary  : 

Three  minute,  trotting,  purse  $1000 — Troublesome  won  the 
first,  second  and  third  heats  and  the  race  in  2:27,  2:29,  2:27,

Karma  and  Fly  also  ran. 

E.  O.  Bolles,  of  Denver,  riding  a  bicycle,  beat  the  running 
horse  Tucker  one  mile  in  2:114. 


The  recent  floods  in  the  North  are  not  liable  to  deter  a 
number  of  California  owners  from  making  the  trip  this  year. 
At  all  events,  twenty  horses  will  be  shipped  next  Wednesday. 
Zeke  Abrahams  is  going  up  with  Greenhocb,  Calpburnus  and 
Jennie  Deane.  Hoag  and  Little  of  the  California  stable  will 
make  the  campaign  through  the  Northwest  with  Model, 
Promise,  Auteuil  and  one  other.  Nick  Hall  will  be  along 
with  Last  Chance,  Norlee,  St.  Croix,  Loogwell  and  Trix. 
Jim  Garland  also  expects  to  make  the  trip  with  Normandie, 
Midget  and  one  or  two  others.  These  stables  will,  in  all 
probability,  be  back  for  the  Stale  Fair  meeting. 

The  "  Direct "  Head  Controller  should  form  part  of  every 
trainer's  outfit.  See  advertisement  on  the  last  page  of  this

Innovations  do  not,  as  a  rule,  meet  with  favor  upon  the 
turf.  The  old-lime  three-in-five  system  of  trotting  and  pac- 
ing, with  the  purse  or  stake  divided  into  two  moneys,  has 
been  the  regular  method  of  procedure  for  so  many  years, 
that  suggested  changes  meet  with  stubborn  opposition  when- 
ever anyone  has  the  temerity  to  advance  beyond  circum- 
scribed lines.  Little  over  a  year  ago  there  was  a  tempest  in 
a  teapot  over  the  proposed  shortening  of  ihe  distance  the 
flag  should  be  placed  from  the  wire.  It  was  pronounced  by 
some  writers  lo  be  of  infinite  good,  and  by  others  to  be  of  in- 
estimable harm.  The  Washington  Park  meeting  last  year 
witnessed  races  contested  with  the  flag  at  both  the  distances 
prescribed  by  the  old  aod  the  new  rules,  without  any  of  the 
many  that  rushed  into  print  being  the  wiser  or  seeing  any 
practical  advantage  or  disadvantage  in  the  change.  So  ii  has 
been  in  so  many  other  instances,  and  as  a  rule  the  innova- 
tions that  have  proved  of  material  value  have  been  few  and 
far  between,  while  many  schemes  have  been  tried  and  found 
wanting.  To-day  light  harness  racing  is  conducted  upon 
much  the  same  basis  as  twenty-five  years  ago.  Tracks,  sul- 
kies and  appliances  of  the  trade  ha>e  been  revolutionized, 
but  the  method  of  competition  has  chaoged  comparatively 
little. 

L.  A.  Davies,  of  Chicago,  proprietor  of  the  Calumet  Stock 
Farm,  Geneva,  111  ,  and  owner  of  the  celebrated  pacing  stal- 
lion, Roy  Wilkes,  2:06A,  has  secured  possession  of  the  Capital 
City  Driving  Park  at  Des  Moines,  la  ,  and  proposes  to  give  a 
trotting  meeting  September  4  to  7  that  in  many  respects  will 
be  an  entire  innovation  upon  former  meetings.  Fifteen  class 
races  have  been  announced  with  purses  of  from  $700  to  $1,200 
each.  The  first  payment  must  be  made  July  7  of  1£  percent., 
at  which  time  a  horse  must  be  named.  July  21  the  second 
payment  is  made,  and  August  4  the  third  payment,  both  of 
th*  same  amount  as  the  first,  and  at  either  of  the  latter  pay- 
ments a  horse  may  be  substituted.  No  substitution  can  be 
made  after  August  4,  a  month  before  the  meeting  takes  place, 
and  the  horse  named  at  the  time  of  third  payment  is  the 
only  eligible  horse  to  start.  August  IS,  a  fourth  payment  of 
1}  per  cent,  is  required,  which  makes  a  total  of  5  per  cent, 
and  renders  a  horse  eligible  to  start.  Two  and  one-half  per 
cent,  will  be  charged  actual  contestants,  but  nothing  will  be 
deducted  from  the  winnings  of  placed  horses.  The  distance 
flag  will  be  at  100  yards  at  this  meeting  and  the  purses  will 
be  divided  into  five  moneys,  50,  20,  15,  10  and  5  per  cent,  to 
the  respective  winners.  This  system  ought  to  work  out  to 
advantage  and  its  best  feature  appears  to  be  that  it  will  have 
a  tendency  to  keep  the  number  of  actual  starters  down  to 
those  that  have  really  a  winning  chance  and  will  thereby  in- 
sure  a  ''horse  race."  Uader  the  system  that  allows  to  start 
upon  the  payment  of  5  per  cent,  many  that  have  no  business 
in  the  race  Lt  all  go  to  the  wire  simply  because  there  is  no 
additional  charge  for  starting,  and  as  a  result  the  audience 
witnesses  a  procession  for  a  heat  or  two,  until  all  the  oat- 
classed  ones  catch  the  flag  or  are  withdrawn.  In  the  mean- 
time, however,  this  slower  contingent,  that  started  because  it 
cost  nothing  additional,  are  delaying  the  start,  interfering 
with  the  horses  that  are  the  real  contestants,  and  disappoint- 
ing the  crowd.  By  asking  2A  per  cent,  from  actual  con- 
testants Mr.  Davis  is  making  the  cost  one-fourth  less  to  the 
ones  that  are  to  furnish  the  true  sport,  aod  by  making  five 
moneys  he  divides  the  purse  more  equally  between  a  larger 
number  of  stables,  says  the  Inter  Ocean. 

Mr.  Davis  has  his  eye  on  the  public  as  well  as  on  the 
horsemen.  The  Capital  City  Driving  Park  is  one  of  the  best 
equipped  mile  tracks  in  the  West.  It  is  of  the  kite  pattern 
with  a  grand  stand  capable  of  seating  3,000,and  as  commodi- 
ous stables  as  could  be  desired.  The  electric  cars  from  the 
city  run  ioto  the  grounds,  and  a  branch  road  of  the  Chicago, 
Rock  Island  and  Pacific  Railroad  will  land  passengers  im- 
mediately back  of  the  grand  siand.  Twenty-four  cooling-out 
stalls  will  be  built  underneath  the  west  end  of  the  grand  stand, 
so  that  all  contestants  will  be  under  the  immediate  super- 
vision of  the  judges  and  delays  reduced  to  the  minimum.  An 
electric  button  in  the  judges'  stacd,  when  touched  at  the 
word  "go,"  rings  an  alarm  in  the  betting  ring  and  in  the 
cooling  out  stalls.  Another  button,  touched  when  the  win- 
ner crosses  the  wire,  rings  the  alarms  again  and  drops  the  flag 
at  the  wire  and  at  the  sa  ie  instant  the  flag  at  the  distance 
post.  It  will  be  remembered  ^y  turf  followers  that  the 
electric  distance  flag  was  tried  once  at  Terre  Haute.  The 
way  it  failed  there  is  a  part  of  the  unwritten  history,  but  it 
was  through  no  fault  of  the  system.  The  electric  wire  ran 
along  the  top  of  the  fence,  and  everything  worked  like  a 
charm  until  one  heat  in  which  the  horse  of  a  noted  driver 
was  away  back,  when  one  of  the  stable  attaches,  who  had 
stationed  himself  or  been  staiioned  near  the  fence,  quietly 
cutthewire.  The  distance  flag  failed  to  fall  and  the  judge 
watching  it  could  not  tell  whether  the  noted  driver  was  out- 
side or  inside  the  distance.  So  he  was  given  the  last  position, 
and  the  elecric  flag  was  voted  a  failure.  The  wire  at  Des 
Moines  will  be  arranged  so  that  it  caooot  be  tampered  with, 
and  as  it  can  have  no  friends  to  favor,  nor  enemies  to  punish, 
should  prove  an  acceptable  change  over  the  vacillating  flag- 
man of  the  past 

Another  change  that  will  be  inaugurated  at  Des  Moines 
will  be  the  system  of  patrol  judges.  At  the  quarter,  half  and 
three-quarter  posts  npon  the  outside  of  the  track  will  be  built 
elevated  lookout  stations,  or  ''crows'  nests,"  in  which  will  be 
stationed  reliable  men  a*  the  beginning  of  the  day's  pro- 
gramme. They  will  be  locked  io,  will  not  see  nor  converse 
with  any  driver,  owner,  or  person,  and  will  report  to  the 
clerk  of  the  course  by  telephone  the  number  upon  the  arm  of 
any  driver  detected  in  foul  driving,  as  well  as  the  particulars 
of  aoy  accident  that  may  cccur  upon  the  portion  of  the  track 
they  are  expected  to  watch. 

Among  the  purses  that  Mr.  Davies  has  announced  is  one 
of  $1,200  for  pacers  of  the  2:07  class,  which  is  the  fastest 
class  race  ever  placed  upon  a  programme.  He  also  gives  a 
$1,000  purse  for  free-for-all  trotters  and  pacers  to  wagon,  mile 
heats,  two  and  three.  The  Des  Moires  meeting  occurs  two 
weeks  after  Chicago,  and  follows  Independence,  Iowa  and 
Peoria,  111.  

Blakelev,  Allmark,  McCullough  and  Stanford,  well- 
known  here,  have  been  riding  in  steeplechases  at  Hawthorne. 
The  last-named  was  badly  hart  on  the  9th.

[Junk  16, 1894 


San  Simeon  Closing-Out  Sale. 

Last  Monday  at  Killip  &  Co.'s  salesyard  the  last  of  the 
Hearst  thoroughbreds  were  sold  to  the  higher  bidder.  The 
result  of  the  sale  was  a  glad  surprise  to  the  owner,  the  ani- 
mals disposed  of  bringing  far  better  prices  than  ex- 
pected. For  this  season  of  the  year,  and  during  these  hard 
times,  the  yearlings  brought  excellent  sums.  The  average 
for  twenty-three  head  was  $330,  and  the  total  of  the  sale  was 
$7,590.  Col.  D.M.  Burns,  John  G.  Follansbee  and  Thomas 
Donohue  were  the  principal  bidders,  the  latter  securing  the 
largest  number  of  youngsters  at  the  sale. 

As  expected,  the  chestnut  sister  to  Armltage  was  the  prize 
of  the  sale  and  brought  the  top  price.  When  she  was  led  in 
the  crowd  closed  about  her  and  the  bidding  was  opened  at 
$500.  From  that  bid  she  sprang  a  hundred  at  a  time.  Adolph 
Spreckels,  J.  G.  Follansbee  and  Colonel  Dan  Burns  were 
shoving  her  along.  A  commission  came  on  from  Chicago  to 
pay  $1,100  fDr  her,  but  the  bid  was  never  made,  so  rapidly 
did  the  others  come.  Follansbee  went  to  $1,500  and  then 
dropped  out.  Colonel  Burns  paid  $5,000  for  her  dam  last 
fall,  and  he  was  determined  to  nave  the  filly.  He  stayed  the 
others  out  of  it,  and  she  finally  fell  to  his  nod  at  $1,700. 

The  next  highest  price  was  paid  for  a  bay  filly  by  Suri- 
nam, out  of  imp.  Merrimac,  by  Goldsbrough.  Half  a  dozen 
men  wanted  her,  but  Colonel  Burns  was  again  in  the  ring, 
and  his  continued  nodding  finally  got  her  at  $825.  The  same 
gentleman  gave  $800  for  the  chestnut  filly  by  True  Briton, 
out  ofCosette.  Cosette's  relationship  to  the  dam  of  Sir  Wal- 
ter made  her  bring  a  good  figure  last  fall,  Colonel  Burns  buy- 
ing her.  The  daughter  by  True  Briton  looks  as  if  she  might 
make  a  racehorse,  and  Colonel  Bums  set  her  down  as  worth 
$1,500.  He  stopped  the  other  bidders  at  $SO0.  Adolph 
Spreckels  was  a  bidder  oq  several.  He  got  a  good  one  in  a 
brown  filly,  half  sister  to  Blizzard.  She  is  by  Surinam.  He 
had  to  bid  $525  for  her..

Mr.  William  Easton  concluded  the  sale  of  the  Rancho  del 
Paso  yearlings  May  5th  before  the  races  began  at  Morris 
Park,  The  stock  sold  throughout  the  entire  sale  brought  a 
total  of  $130,425.  This  made  the  splendid  average  of  $1,124. 
The  highest  priced  one  sold  to-day  was  the  full  brother  to 
Tournament,  for  whom  Green  Morris  paid  $4,200.  He  is  a 
better  individual  than  the  full  brother  to  Dr.  Hasbrouck.who 
after  some  sharp  competition  went  to  Mr.  C.  F.  Fox  for 
$3,300.  Green  Morris  secured  another  high-priced  one,  the 
bay  filly  by  Salvator,  out  of  Widow  Clicquot. 

It  was  claimed  on  many  sides  that  there  was  a  lot  of  by- 
bidding  done  and  some  few  men  in  the  audience  were  inclined 
to  raise  a  disturbance.  If  anything  of  the  sort  took  place  the 
auctioneer,  Mr.  Easton,  was  not  a  party  to  it,  and  was  exces- 
sively annoyed  that  it  should  have  been  suspected.  It  is,  of 
course,  impossible  for  the  management  to  preclude  such 
occurrences,  but  they  are  likely  to  do  harm  to  future  sales

Portland    Races  to    Be    Held. 


R.  D.    Ledgett's    Flyers. 

In  October,  1893,  R.  D.  Ledgett  borrowed  $500  from 
Joseph  F.  Forderer,  to  secure  which  he  turned  over  two  rac- 
ing animals,  Lady  Markham  and  Kitty  L.,  also  abuggy,  har- 
ness and  robes.  It  is  claimed  that  each  of  the  horses  is 
worth  $1500  and  the  other  stuff  had  a  value  of  $300.  The 
note  given  reads : 

For  the  sum  of  $500,  to  me  in  hand  paid,  with  interest  at 
the  rate  of  1  per  cent,  per  month  from  the  above  date,  and 
for  keeping  and  feeding  my  bay  mare  and  filly,  I  agree  to  sell 
and  convey  to  R.  D.  Ledgett  the  two  bay  mares,  together  with 
the  buggy  and  harness,  as  delivered  by  Ledgett  on  this  day, 
before  the  1st  of  May,  1894. 

The  interest  of  Ledgett  in  the  property  was  assigned  to  T. 
D.  Riordan  and  by  him  assigned  to  J.  J.  Quinn.  The  latter 
offered  $500  for  the  redemption  of  the  property,  but  this 
offer  was  refused.  Now  he  brings  suit  against  Forderer  in  the 
Superior  Court  to  recover. 

Directors'    Meeting. 


A  meeting  of  the  Directors  of  the  Tehama  County  Agricul- 
tural Association  was  held  last  Saturday  evening. 

E.  C.  Fortier,  J.  R.  Thuresson  and  J.  W.  Frank,  committee 
on  subscriptions,  reported  that  their  labors  were  not  yet  com- 
pleted, but  that  they  had  succeeded  in  raising  $1,097.50.  The 
solicitors  expressed  themselves  as  being  confident  that  several 
hundred  dollars  more  could  be  raised.  The  outlook  being  so 
bright,  the  directors  voted  unanimously  in  favor  of  holding  a 
fair  from  August  7th  to  11th,  inclusive. 

It  was  also  voted  that  the  association  offer  racing  purees  to 
the  amount  of  $-4,000.  This  is  the  same  sum  that  was  offered 
last  year,  and  which  secured  the  presence  of  such  a  large 
number  of  good  horses. 

It  now  being  settled  that  Red  Bluff  is  to  have  a  fair,  all  our 
citizens  should  unite  in  an  eflort  to  make  it  a  success.  Talk 
it  up,  prepare  exhibits  and  give  your  heartiest  encourage- 
ment to  the  directors. — Red  Bluff  News. 


In  order  to  free  the  stable  from  mange  a  thorough  cleans- 
ing of  all  harnesses,  halters,  Btable  utensils,  clothing  and 
every  particle  of  woodwork  is  essentially  necessary.  In  order 
to  accomplish  this  take  two  pounds  of  chloride  of  lime  and 
dissolve  it  in  four  gallons  of  boiling  water.  Then  wash  every- 
thing with  it,  making  enough  to  go  over  the  whole  stable, 
harnesses,  etc.  After  this  dries,  use  the  following  in  like 
manner:  Corrosive  of  sublimate  1  oz.,  crude  carbolic  acid  16 
oz.,  hot  water  10  gallons.  Mix  thoroughly  and  apply  it  with 
a  whitewash  brush.     Thoroughness  in  the  work  is  the  cure. 

The  Napa  race  track  is  plowed  up  and  harrowed,  and  the 
smooth-going,  friclionless-caited  trotters  and  pacers  that  were 
wont  to  jog  up  and  down  its  splendid  stretches  have  been 
taken  away,  and  in  their  stead  the  galloping  bang-tails  now 
cavort  and  gallop  from  daybreak  until  the  shades  of  night 
fail. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman: — Inasmuch  as  the 
daily  papers  of  your  city  are  flooding  the  people  with  flagrant 
reports  about  the  flood  here  in  Portland  to  such  an  extent 
that  many  inquiries  by  horsemen  have  been  made  whether 
or  not  we  will  hold  our  spring  meeting,  I  deem  it  but  justice 
to  say,  through  the  medium  of  your  paper,  that  we  will 
hold  our  spring  meeting,  and  we  anticipate  a  roaring  meeting, 
too.  We  have  engaged  the  services  of  H.  M.  La  Rue,  of 
Sacramento,  as  presiding  judge,  which  insures  justice  to  all 
participants.  The  entries  to  our  trotting  and  pacing  events 
are  coming  in  well  and  there  will  not  be  over  two  races  left 
unfilled.  I  would  send  you  our  entry  list  for  this  week's 
publication  were  it  not  for  the  fact  that  some  have  been  de- 
layed coming  in  from  up  North,  and  will  arrive  too  late  for 
this  week's  publication. 

We  must  admit  we  are  having  a  flood  and  a  "  record 
breaker "  at  that,  but  one  cannot  imagine  that  so  large  a 
body  of  water  in  the  business  portion  of  a  city  doing  so  little 
damage  without  seeing  it.  Our  flood  is  caused  by  back  water 
from  the  Columbia,  therefore  is  perfectly  peaceable,  without 
any  current  whatever,  and  the  material  damage  will  be  the 
suspension  of  business  for  a  while  in  the  inundated  district. 
The  water  is  gradually  receding  and  we  expect  to  be  on  dry 
ground  very  soon. 

Our  race  track  is  high  and  dry  and  in  splendid  condition. 
Thanking  you  in  advance  for  this  space,  1  am, 

Portland,  Ore.,  June  9, 1894.  M.  D.  Wisdom. 


Dividing  the  Purses. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  ;— Why  not  make  all 
stakes  for  yearlings  and  two-year-olds  free-for-all  pacers  and 
trotters?  The  popular  progress  the  pacer  is  making  certainly 
entitles  him  to  a  chance  at  the  rich  stakes,  especially  the  ones 
given  by  the  State  Agricultural  Society.  We  pay  our  money 
and  train  our  colts  only  to  find  we  have  a  confirmed  pacer. 
Why  not  divide  the  purses  and  allow  the  colts  to  take  the 
class  or  gait  they  may  select,  or  make  no  distinction  between 
the  pace  or  trot?  They  are  both  light-harness  horses,  and 
should  have  an  opportunity  to  earn  something.  While  the 
question  may  be  raised  that  the  pace  is  the  faster  gait,  records 
hardly  bear  it  out.  I  do  not  write  this  in  a  spirit  of  fault- 
finding, but  feel  that  a  remedy  can  be  reached  whereby  the 
animal  at  either  gait  may  have  equal  opportunities. 

"  ROHNERVILLE." 

Rohnerville,  Cal.,  June  11, 1894. 


Change  of  Name 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman — The  requisition  in 
reference  to  change  of  name  was  altered  by  the  last  Congress 
of  Members  and  you  will  find  it  clearly  stated  in  Rule  6,  Sec- 
tion 4.  By  this  Section  if  a  horse's  name  is  changed  and  the 
recording  fee  paid  to  the  American  Trotting  Association  h» 
can  perform  on  our  tracks  without  paying  it  again  to  this 
Association.  Again  if  a  horse  has  performed  under  a  certain 
name  and  the  Register  Association  refuses  to  register  him 
under  that  name,  he  can  take  any  other  name  which  the  Reg 
ister  Association  will  accept  and  thereafter  perform  under  it 
without  payment  of  recording  fee,  provided  the  name  he  se- 
lects is  not  one  already  recorded  on  our  books  for  another 
horse.  Yours  truly, 

M.  M.  Mopse,  Secy. 

A  misunderstanding  that  promises  some  sensational 
features  has  developed  between  the  Tattersalls  Company, 
Limited,  and  Auctioneer  William  Easton.  This  past  spring 
Mr.  Easton  severed  his  connection  with  the  rattersalls  Com 
pany  and  established  a  rival  auction  mart  for  thoroughbreds 
at  the  American  Horse  Exchange.  He  secured  some  of  the 
star  sales,  such  as  the  Belle  Meade,  Dixiana,  McGrathiana, 
and  Rancho  del  Paso  (Mr.  J.  B.  Haggin's  great  breeding 
establishment.)  Tattersalls  now  claim  that  Easton  took  un- 
due advantage  of  his  position  while  with  them  to  secure  these 
sales,  which  they  would  otherwise  have  secured.  They  have 
served  papers  on  Mr.  Easton  in  a  suit  for  $20,000  damagi 
The  suit  may  develop  some  interesting  features.  Tattersalls 
have  also  began  suit  of  damages  against  Major  B.  G.  Thomas, 
proprieter  of  the  Dixiana  Stud  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  allegin|_ 
that  Major  Thomas  contracted  to  sell  his  yearlings  through 
them  and  that  he  violated  the  contract  n  giving  the  sale  to 
Easton.

Tulare  NoteB. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.] 
Tulare,  June  9. — Thinking  a  few   items    from   Tulare 
might  be  of  interest  to  your  readers,  I  concluded  to  venture  a 
little  out  of  my  accustomed  way,  and  try  the  new  role  of  cor- 
respondent. 

Tulare  horsemen  have  not  allowed  themselves  to  become 
disheartened  by  the  financial  stringency  nor  even  the  dry 
year,  but  are  actively  engaged  in  developing  their  young 
horses  and  conditioning  their  older  ones  that  already  have 
the  necessary  speed.  At  the  track  here  may  be  seen  Bay 
Wilkes,  2:16^,  taking  his  work.  He  is  sound  and  strong  and 
Mr.  Anderson,  bis  owner,  believes  that  he  will  substitute  a 
2  for  the  6£  in  his  record  before  the  winter  rains  com  e. 

Ed.  Jamson  has  in  his  charge  Polly,  2:30,  a  pacing  mare 
by  Oakland  Boy,  that  recently  showed  a  quarter  in  thirty-one 
seconds  and  showed  her  heels  to  the  gang  at  Sonora  recently 
in  a  race.  This  painstaking  trainer  also  has  Musquito,  2:26, 
Mr.  Manske's  pacer.  It  will  be  a  great  surprise  to  those 
who  know  him  best,  if  this  horse  does  not  prove  himself  a 
source  of  revenue  to  his  owner. 

Then  Joe  Depoister,  that  careful  trustworthy  traiaer,  has 
JudgeCross,  a  speedy  son  of  Judge  Kyle,  and  a  number  of 
other  horses  that  give  promise  of  being  able  to  pull  down  their 
share  of  the  stakes. 

The  indubitable  Johnnie  Donahue  is  here  moving  his 
horses  around  the  kite-tract  in  a  way  to  indicate  that  he  has 
more  Addie  E.'s2:19  surprises  in  store  for  the  boys  who  are 
inclined  to  speculate  on  the  result  of  the  races. 

He  is  handling  some  Strathway  colts  that  show  a  "  twenty" 

gait  so  easily  that  spectators  wonder  what  kind  of  a  clip  they 

would  strike  if  they  were  called  upon  to  extend   themselves. 

The  veteran  trainer,  Stanley  Eddy,  has  his  George  J.  colts, 

Nellie  J.  2:30,   and  Kobby  J.  quartered  at  the  track.     Mr. 

Eddy  has  the  reputation  of  never  wasting  time  on  anything 

,  that  is  not  first-class  material,  and  these  youngsters  when 

performing  on  the  track  fully  sustain  that  reputation  for  him. 

Besides  those  mentioned  there  is  a  miscellaneous  lot  of 

i  horses  being  worked  upon  the  track,  and  each  one  is,  to  his 

L  owner,  a  prospective  bonanza  of  wealth. 

j      Recorder  (3),  the  property  of  the  writer,  can  step   off  his 

|  quarters  in  36  seconds  so  easily  that  rosy  anticipations   for 

|  the  future  are  excited,  but  at  present  some  sort  of  epizootic 

!  has  made  it  necessary  to  suspend  his  training  for  a  time. 

Horsemen  of  this  valley  recently  learned  with  regret  that 
)  it  had  become  necessary  to  castrate  that  great  sire  Clay  Duke 
|  2757.  He  received  an  injury  last  season,  rendering  him  use- 
i  less  in  the  stud  as  well  as  upon  the  track.  The  operation,  a 
[very  difficult  one,  was  skillfully  performed  by  Fernando 
LBatchelder,  of  this  city.  Clay  Duke,  2:29,  was  one  of  the 
I  greatest  show  horses  in  California.  He  is  standard  by  every 
I  rale.  He  has  two  trotters  in  the  list,  Del  Bey,  2:24},  and 
I  Lillian  Smith,  2:29. 

I  He  trotted  a  mile  in  a  race  in  2:203-,  timed  separately,  and 
I  for  his  opportunities  is  a  great  sire.  But  five  of  his  colts  have 
lever  been  handled  for  speed  and  all  of  them  developed  speed 
I  rapidly.  It  is  greatly  to  be  regretted  that  this  horse  has  been 
llosttothe  breeding  interest,  of  the  country.  He  possesses 
I  qualities  that  could  have  been  perpetuated  with  great  bene- 
nt  to  the  country  in  the  future.  I  visited  the  home  of  Clay 
I  Duke  and  Del  Key  last  Sunday  and  found  that  while  Mr. 
I  Martin  has  no  horses  in  training  this  season  he  is  still  exten- 
I  lively  engaged  in  the  business  of  breeding  trotting  stock.  His 
320  acres  of  rich  land,  well  improved  and  divided  in  alfalfa 
fields  and  under  a  thorough  system  of  irrigation,  affords  un- 
surpassed facilities  for  breeding  fine  horses. 
I  Del  Rey's  ailing  tendon  was  blistered  and  fired  last  winter 
rith  such  good  effect  that  it  now  appears  perfectly  sound. 
I  le  will  not  be  trained  this  season  but  will  have  long,  careful 

■  ^reparation  for  next  year.  If  he  is  brought  to  a  race  in  good 
•  iondition  he  will  get  a  very  low  mark  and  be  a  formidable 
■■  :ompetitor  for  first  place. 

I  Lillian  Smith,  2:29,  is  fat  and  strong,  and  looks  like  she 
.lould  cut  nine  or  ten  seconds  from  her  record  if  she  were 
llonditioned  and  sent  on  that  mission. 

I  There  are  colts  and  fillies  from  Clay  Duke  and  Del  Key 
J »  numerous  to  speak  of  separately.  Some  from  dams  by 
.1  -lex.  Button  and  Bay  Rose,  and  many  from   thoroughbred 

lams.     All  were  noteworthy  on  account  of  their  clean,  fine 

■  mbs  and  racy  conformation,  and  give  promise  of  becoming, 
1    not  racehorses  of  merit,  stylish  roadsters  of  great  endur- 

1.1  ice  and  never-failing  legs.  Mr.  Martin  has  neglected,  to 
lime  extent,  his  racing  interests  in  devoting  a  large  share  of 
I  is  time  to  perfecting  a  great  system  of  irrigation  for  the 
I  ale  river  country. 

I  About  five  miles  further  up  Tule  river  is  the  farm  of  Capt 

I  icob  Hayes,  the  owner  of  the  great  stallion  Strathway,  2:19. 

I  be  Captain  can  look  over  the  country  and  with  complacency 

:  1  ant  a  score  or  more  of  Strath  way's  colts  that  are   moving 

rich  a  clip  as  to  stamp  their  sire  as  one  of  the  great  produc- 

Jg6iresof  California.    Last  summer  when   Annie   Roonie 

m  is  taken  up  broken  and  jogged  around  by  the  hired  man  a 

:  w  w  weeks,  and  by  him  driven  a  half  in  1:09,  it  was  consid- 

ed  phenomenal,  but  it  transpired  afterward  that  every  man 

-J  at  had  a  Strathway  pacer  had   an   Annie   Roonie.     The 

•S-DtaiD  has  a  full  sister  to  Annie  that  is  moving  quite  as 

•I  ;11  as  she  did  with  the  same  handling.     Captain  Hayes  is 

::1  e  of   those  broad-gtiage,  liberal-minded    horsemen   who 

i(flerishes  no  feeling  of   envy  or  jealousy  in  the  matter  of 

rse-breeding.  consequently  all  horsemen  rejoice  with  him 

v*  his  success. 

,- :  3ver  the  river  from  Capt.  Hayes'  farm  is  Mr.  Boucher's  of 

I  .ooi  I  know  little,  except  that  he  owns  that  full  brother  to 

•■;Mi  great  campaigning  mare  Mabel  H.,  2:17£,  Gen.  Logan, 

;  3'f- 

-•m  Dot  near  Visalia  are  the  farms  of  Colonel  Perkins  and 

jt    O.  Newman.     The  only  evidence  we  have  of  what  they 

-;4*--  doing  is  the  fact  that  the  names  of  their  horses  appear 

'  >n  the  entry  lists  of  the  grand  circuit  meetings  in  company 

i«  h  the  best  in  the  great  racehorse  producing  State  of  Cali- 

^.;  '  Qia.     I  must  not  close  without  mentioning  our  esteemed 

-v:  1  ow  townsman,  S.  A.  Blythe.    He  is  one  of  our  most  en- 

:mi  fliastic  horsemen,  and  will  not  drive  anything  but  the  best 

-:    1 1  can  be  had.     He  is  the  proud  owner  of  Grey  Pointer, 

-!>■*  ih>  and  it  is  not  hazarding  veracity  to  say  that  the  horse 

.-    1 1  wins  the  2:25  class  pacing  races  will  know  that  he  had  a 

-j  *  se  race  from  start  to  finish  with  Grey  Pointer. 

Vith  the  proud  boast  that  Tulare  has  the  fastest  track  in 
•  State,  I  will  close.  By  the  way,  there  will  be  a  race 
■  sting  here  from  the  22d  to  the  27th  of  October,  the  week 
owing  Fresno.     Entries  close  July  1,1894.

"Woodland  Fair  to  the  Front. 

Editor  Rieedku  fcKD  Spohtsmah  :— Below  will  fim.  list  of  entries  lo  eleven  class  races 
(trotting  and  pacing)  contoiaiop  182  entries,  together  with  117  entries  to  colt  races ^(de- 
claration) entries  to  which  closed  March  15  (and  previously  published)  making  a  total  of  299 
entries  for  18  trotting  and  pacing  races  to  be  contested  at  coming  meeting  which  I  be- 
lieve i*  the  record  for  1S9-1  for  District  Associations. 

You  will  note  a  number  of  entries  from  Oregon,  Washington  and  Nevada.  1  he  free-for- 
all  pace  is  u  great  drawing  card  as  well  as  a  great  race  which  it  will  undoubtedly  be,  as 
we  consider  Dr  Swift  (if  he  comes  to  the  race  right)  and  Hazel  H.  faster  company  than 
r^nkettandEclecticwhowereinthe  free-for-all  pace  in  1893;  not  a  few  people  predict 
that  Wood  will  win  the  first  two  heats,  if  not  the  race.  The  races  are  well  filled  with  splendid 
horses  The  Oregon  and  Washington  people  generally  sending  something  that  s  not  to  be 
overlooked,  and  these  strains  show  plainly  that  this  racing  season  will  be  the  best  ever  seen 
on  the  coast.  c-  M*  Barney,  becretary.

The  Taming  of  Axle. 


The  most  sensational  of  the  sons  of  Axtell, 
in  the  matter  of  speed,  is  the  four-year-old 
chestnut  stallion  Axle,  2:15},  owned  by  A.  C. 
Bruce,  of  Minneapolis,  Minn.  Axle  is  by  Ax- 
tell, out  of  Cora  Etta,  by  Adrian  \\  ilkes,  sec- 
ond d?.m  Mambrino  Queen,  by  Mambrino 
Patrlien.  He  is  Astell's  oldest  colt,  Origi- 
nally a  colt  of  very  even  temper  and  pUyful 
disposition,  he  was  made  much  of_  as  a  pet, 
and  as  he  was  always  very  knowing  it  was  not 
long  before  he  was  spoiled.  With  each  year, 
says  a  writer  in  the  Terre  Haute  Express,  he 
became  worse  and  worse,  and  last  year  he  de- 
reloped  into  a  man-eater,  it  being  necessary  to 
/asso  and  tie  him  up  before  the  caretaker 
could  go  into  his  stall.  When  walked  he  had 
'to  be  guy-roped  with  a  man  on  each  side. 

Always  as  fast  as  a  ghost  and  with  a  gait 
that  is  an  embodiment  of  all  the  qualities  that 
go  to  make  up  perfection,  his  ungovernable 
temper  stood  in  the  way  of  his  success  as  a 
campaigner.  Last  fall  Mr.  Bruce,  realizing 
that  the  colt  was  worthless  as  he  was,  turned 
him  over  to  Mr.  Bailey,  with  the  result  that 
the  colt  is  back  to  him  to-day  with  an  even 
temper  and  tractability  not  equalled  by  any 
stallion  in  the  country.  Mr\  Bailey  says  the 
educating  of  Axle  was  the  hardest  and  most 
trying  undertaking  he  ever  assumed,  and  it 
was  full  five  weeks  of  constant  word  before  he 
saw  the  least  sign  of  encouragement  The 
horse  was  entirely  withour  fear,  and  with  his 
great  intelligence  resisted  every  effort  made 
in  the  line  of  education.  "I  have  educated 
hundreds  of  horses,"  said  Mr.  Bailey,"  "  but  I 
never  met  his  equal  in  courage  and  uncon- 
querable will  and  intelligence.  Trv  as  I 
would  to  conjure  up  plans  to  circumvent  him, 
I  would  no  sooner  try  them  on  than  he  would 
invent  a  way  to  render  them  futile."  Thursday 
Mr.  Railey  led  him  out  among  horses  simply 
with  a  halter,  and  he  was  tractable  as  an  old 
gelding  and  promptly  obeyed  words  of  com- 
mand. Mr.  Bailey  claims  that  Axle  will  be  a 
better  race  horse  than  ever  before,  and  that  in 
the  education  his  spirit  and  heart  have  not 
been  broken.  Mr.  Railey  is  careful  to  im- 
press  one  with  the  difference  between  "break 
ing  "  and  "  educating."  He  educates,  not 
breaks.  He  does  not  believe  in  throwing 
horses,  as  that  system  tends  to   break   their 

hearts.

My  Trinket. 

Among  the  starters  in  the  2:37  class  at  the 
recent  Baltimore  meeting  was  the  four-year- 
old  mare  My  Trinket.  It  would  be  difficult 
to  imagine  a  better  bred  trotter  than  this  filly, 
she  being  by  Stamboul,  whose  alleged  record 
is  2:07J,  and  whose  real  record  is  about  2:11 ; 
dam  Trinket,  2:14.  Both  her  sire  and  dam 
were  colt  trotters,  Stamboul  beginning  his  turf 
career  as  atwo-year-old  and  performing  credit- 
ably at  that  age,  while  Trinket  was  the  first 
four-year-old  trotter  to  beat  2:20,  making  a 
record  of  2:195  ia  a  race  at  that  age.  It  was  in 
the  hands  of  John  Turner  that  Trinket,  who 
was  a  notional  mare  and  not  always  inclined 
to  do  her  best  in  a  race,  made  a  record  of  2:14 
being  purchased  later  on  bv  Mr.  W.  S.  Ho- 
bart,  the  California  millionaire  who  had 
bought  Stamboul,  and  by  him  bred  to  that 
horse.  The  resultant  foal  was  My  Trinket, 
and  last  year,  a  short  time  previous  to  Mr. 
Hobart's'death,  arrangements  were  made  with 
Turner  whereby  the  baby  trotter  was  to  be  sent 
East  and  handled  by  the  Philadelphia  driver. 
My  Trinket  had  inherited  some  of  the  pecu- 
liarities of  her  dam  and  it  was  thought  lhat 
Turner  would  have  better  success  with  her 
than  any  other  driver.  The  death  of  Mr.  Ho 
bart  put  an  end  to  this  plan  and  the  filly  was 
sold  at  auction  in  New  York,  being  purchased 
by  Mr.  Shnlts  of  Brooklyn,  in  whose  stable 
she  is  now  being  campaigned.  My  Trinket 
has  a  fair  amount  of  speed,  and  on  the  strength 
of  her  breeding  and  the  newspaper  notoriety 
she  has  obtained  was  made  a  strong  second 
choice  in  the  betting  on  the  Baltimore  race. 
She  finished  6,  8, 8,  in  2:26},  2:26},  2:26}.  The 
winner  was  Pantomime,  a  four-year-old  mare 
by  Arthurton,  dam  by  Princeps,  and  current 
gossip  says  that  she  trotted  a  good  deal  faster 
than  the  time  given  out,  but  as  2:26}  was  her 
record  made  the  previous  week  over  a  half- 
mile  track  the  accommodating  judges  at  Bal- 
timore contrived  that,  according  to  their  say- 
so,  she  trotted  three  miles  in  exactly  the  same 
time  over  the  Pimlico  course.  There  were 
twelve  starters  in  the  race,  and  when  the  sum- 
mary was  made  out  it  was  found  that  My 
Trinket  had  beaten  five  of  them,  so  that  the 
chances  are  she  will  develop  into  a  2:30  nag 
before  the  season  is  ended. — Enquirer.

Oure  For  Lock-Jaw. 


present  in  the  dirt  of  the  Btreet  or  stable  and 
in  the  upper  layers  of  most  soils.  Wounds 
"mpregnated  with  the  dirt  containing  thisbac- 
cillus,  result  in  lock-jaw.  To  eflect  a  cure, 
eitner  in  man  or  the  lower  animals,  the  sub- 
ject is  first  rendered  immune  by  the  introduc- 
tion of  a  substance  which  the  Italian  scien- 
tist calls  'etanus  anti-toxin.  From  the  blood 
of  the  subjects  thus  treated  the  antidote  is  pre- 
pared with  which  other  patients  may  be 
treated  by  means  of  hypodermic  injections.  If 
further  experiments  confirm  the  efficacy  of 
the  remedy,  lock-jaw  will  cease  to  fill  the 
horseman's  heart  with  terror  as  it  has  in  the 
past.

According  to  reports  in  European  stock 
journals,  an  Italian  has  discovered  a  pre- 
ventive and  cure  for  tetanus  or  lock-jaw.  As 
the  horse  is  the  most  susceptible  of  any  of 
our  domestic  animals  to  this  disease,  and  as  it 
is  generally  fatal  in  its  results,  the  news  that 
a  cure  has  been  discovered  will  be  gladly  wel- 
comed by  horsemen.  Lock-jaw  is  nearly  al- 
ways the  result  of  a  wound,  and  is  never  a 
primary  malady.  According  to  the  Italian 
scientist  who  believes  he  has  discovered  a  cure 
for  lock-jaw,  it  is  due  to  a  baccillus  which  is

Monroe  Salisbury's  horses  have  not  as 
yet  made  the  showing  the  correspondents  of 
Eastern  turf  journals  were  predicting.  In  a 
month  or  two  the  Pleasanton  string  will  be 
ready  for  racing  and  will  improve  rapidly 
thereafter.  It  takes  a  little  time  for  horses  to 
become  acclimated.

Best  Pasturage  in  California. 

Having  purchased  the  celebrated  Valensin  Stock 
Farm,  one  and  a  naif  miles  from  Pleasanton,  Alameda 
County,  I  am  prepared  to  take  mares,  geldings  or  stal- 
lions for  pasturage. 

The  climate  is  unsurpassed.  The  pasturage,  consist- 
ing of  alfilleria,  clover,  rye  grass  and  alfalfa.  Is  divided 
into  strongly  fenced  fields  (not  a  toot  ot  wire  being  on 
the  place),  horse  troughs  in  every  paddock.  Well  ven- 
tilated box  stalls,  forty-two  In  number,  a  tnree-guarter 
mile  track,  and  every  appointment  necessary  for  the 
care  (and  development  if  necessary)  of  thoroughbreds. 

The  reputation  of  this  celebrated  farm  is  well  known 
alloverthe  United  States;  for  the  class  of  stock  here- 
tofore raised  and  developed  on  it  has  given  it  a  name 
as  "  a  home  for  horses  "  second  to  none  in  America. 

The  best  care  taken  of  all  stock  consigned,  but  no  re- 
sponsibility assumed  for  accidents  or  escapes.  Ani- 
mals can  be  shipped  bv  rail,  from  foot  ot  Market 
street,  Oakland,  to  Pleasanton,  where  careful  men  will 
lead  them  to  the  farm. 

Pasturage  for  mares  and  geldings  only  five  dollars 
per  month.

in  harness.  George  Starr,  who  knows,  says:  "Direct  can  stand  any  horse  in  the  world  on

"W6  Speak  But  Facts' 


It  is  not  natural  for  horses  to  wear 
iron  shoes.  Colts  that  run  in  the  field 
and  horses  whose  work  is  done  princi- 
pally on  soft  ground  do  not  wear  them, 
and  have  good,  sound  feet.  But  mod- 
ern roads  and  hard  pavements  make 
iron  shoes  a  necessity  as  without  them 
the  hoof  would  soon  become  broken 
and  wear  away. 

For  this  reason  it  is  evident  some- 
thing- will  have  to  be  used  to  keep  the 
feet  in  a  healthy,  growing  condition 
or  Shelly,  Brittle  and  Contracted  Feet, 
Quarter  Cracks  and  Corns  are  the  in- 
evitable result.

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  1b  a  haudsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  in  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaitlng,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  wbat  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  SLBel,  says  oi 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  bas  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  ot  the  craft,  and  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  hands  ol  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

THE  UTILITY  OF  THE  THOROUGHBRED. 


His  Relation  as  an  Improving    Agent  to  Other 
Breeds  of  Light  Horses. 


The  custom  of  the  harness-horse  enthusiast  is  to  rail 
against  the  thoroughbred;  to  say  that  he  is  a  running  or 
gambling  machine,  and  a  tolerable  rickety  one  at  that;  to  say 
that  he  is  too  rattle-headed  to  be  useful,  and,  finally,  to  ask 
wh^t  the  trotter  can  gain  in  the  way  of  stamina  from  a  horse 
that  can  only  run  five-eighths  of  a  mile.  Suppose  for  the 
nonce  we  grant  all  this  to  be  true  ;  that  we  pass  over  the  fact 
that  one  of  these  same  five-furlong  platers  prompts  several  of 
the  best  and  fastest  trotters  in  their  best  and  fastest  efforts, 
in  the  same  afternoon  and  keeps  on  prompting  as  his  business 
day  in  and  day  out,  while  the  trotters  need  rest  and  recupera- 
tion before  making  another  great  effort;  suppose  we  grant  it 
takes  no  more  staying  powers  to  gallop  fonr  to  six  miles  at 
speed  every  afternoon  in  the  week  than  it  does  to  trot  one 
fast  mile  in  the  seven  days;  suppose  we  grant  all  this,  and  di- 
vorce from  our  consideration  entirely  the  breeding  of  the 
light-harness  horse  for  speed  purposes,  we  still  find  that  the 
world  over  the  thoroughbred  is  the  most  useful  breed  of 
horses  extant  to-day.  '  A  sweeping  statement  surely,  and  yet 
one  that  is  absolutely  correct. 

In  the  proper  consideration  of  this  theme  we  must  not 
confine  our  observations  to  the  United  States  alone,  but  must 
extend  them  to  Europe  in  particular,  and  to  those  other  coun- 
tries over  which  the  union  jack  of  Eogland  waves  as  the  na- 
tional flag. 

To  Great  Britain,  and  especially  to  England,  must  the 
creditfor  breed  evolution  be  given,  as  in  that  little  island 
were  brought  forth  more  breeds  of  improved  live  stock  than 
in  all  the  rest  of  the  world.  Beginning  with  the  thorough- 
bred we  observe  that  branching  from  it  are  all  the  varying 
types  of  hunters  and  of  coach  horses.  The  majestic  Cleve- 
land Bay,  which,  though  in  bis  earlier  stages  was  "neither 
blood  nor  black,"  has  profited  largely  by  the  use  of  "such 
blood  stallions  as  were  calculated  to  improve  the  breed  and 
promote  its  interests."  The  Yorkshire  coacher,  formed  by 
the  union  of  Cleveland  Bay  and  thorough-blood  in  various 
proportions,  owes  the  superiority  its  advocates  and  admirers 
claim  for  it  over  its  parent  coaching  stock  to  the  racehorse, 
which  has  refined  it  and  given  it  the  quality  and  "go"  which 
the  Cleveland  Bay  frequently  lacks.  The  Hackney,  though 
tracing  to  the  same  sources  as  the  thoroughbred,  owes  some- 
thing to  later  infusion  of  his  blood,  and  the  determined  effort 
made  to  admit  to  record  inspected  mares  of  blood  show  how 
highly  the  cross  is  respected.  Then  the  hunters,  light  and 
heavy  Irish  and  English — ninety-nine  out  of  every  hundred 
of  them  stirred  by  thoroughbreds — owe  their  very  existence 
to  the  racer.  The  polo  ponies  and  the  majority  of  harness 
animals  used  in  Great  Britain  all  carry  more  or  less  thor- 
oughbred, so  we  must  concede  that  in  that  tight  little  island 
the  thoroughbred  is  by  far  the  most  important  factor  in  the 
horse-breeding  industry. 

In  France  statistics  show  that  the  most  of  the  stallions 
owned  by  the  government  are  either  clean  or  largely  thorough, 
b-ed  the  French  Coacher — as  he  is  called  in  this  country — 
bjin"  in  that  nation  dubbed  demi-sang,  literally,  half-bred. 
8ome  few  of  the  government  approved  sires  carry  a  small  per. 
centage  of  Arab  or  other  cold  blood.  The  French  trotter  is 
*argelv  thoroughbred,  and,  in  fact,  the  French  harness  horses 
—as  well  as  the  English — all  possess  more  or  less  the  blood  of 
the  race  horse.  In  Germany  the  various  breeds  of  coach  and 
military  horses  all  owe  their  excellence  to  the  thoroughbred, 
and  when  we  reach  the  British  colonies  and  dependencies  the 
horoughbred  is  all  powerful.  In  Russia,  the  European  nation 


most  wealthy  in  horses,  we  find  the  thoroughbred  as  far  in  the 
lead,  eveD  the  native  draft  horses  carrying  his  blood.  The 
Orion's,  saddlers  and  trotters,  originated  from  blood  and  Arab 
horses,  and  have  been  reinforced  by  infusion  of  the  same 
strains  from  time  to  time.  Annually  thoroughbred  stallions 
and  mares  are  imported  into  Russia,  and  while  from  the  pecu- 
liar economic  conduct  of  that  country  results  are  not  so  easily 
traced,  by  far  the  greater  part  of  the  improvement  which  has 
been  wrought  in  Russian  horses  has  been  brought  about  by 
the  use  of  the  thoroughbred  as  a  top  cross. 

These  are  the  facts,  and  there  must  be  a  reason  for  them. 
It  is  not  hard  to  find.  As  an  improving  agent  the  thorough- 
bred has  no  equal.  Abundance  of  time  has  elapsed  since  the 
type  of  the  thoroughbred  was  absolutely  fixed  for  the  forma- 
tion of  a  better  breed,  but  it  has  not  been  found  necessary  to 
do  so-  The  claim  of  the  thoroughbred  to  recognition  as  this 
first  improving  agent  is  his  ability  to  beget  speed,  endurance, 
style,  quality  and  beauty  of  conformation  in  his  progeny. 
This  explains  why  he  has  been  so  universally  used  for  the 
purpose  indicated.  Beginning  with  the  hunters  we  find  in 
them  the  highest-priced  animals  amongst  what  may  be  called 
"  utilitarian  "  horses.  Five  hundred,  six  hundred  or  even  a 
thousand  guineas  are  paid  for  the  top-sawyers,  and  for  one  of 
steeplechasing  ability  his  value  is  determined  by  what  be  can 
win.  Well-mannf  red  hunters  with  a  turn  of  speed  are  the 
readiest  sale  in  the  world,  bnd  even  unsound  ones  bring  fair 
prices.  Hunters  are  almost  entirely  got  by  thoroughbred 
stallions  and  from  mares  carrying  more  or  less  blood.  The 
steady-going-heavy-weight  hunter,  up  to  sixteen  stone,  and  fit 
to  take  his  own  line  over  a  stiff  country  or  on  the  grass  in  a 
fast  or  slow  run,  comes  very  near  the  top  in  equine  excellence. 
The  endurance  necessary  for  such  business,  the  quality  of 
bone  and  the  courage  can  only  be  gained  from  the  blood 
horse.  Crossing  the  oceans  to  Australia  we  are  confronted 
with  the  fact  that  twenty  or  thirty  years  ago  the  horses  o^ 
Australia  were  better  than  they  are  to-day.  John  James 
Borthwick,  one  of  the  best-known  of  the  old-time  antipodean 
stock-owners,  now  enjoying  a  well-earned  rest  in  Scotland,  is 
our  authority  for  this  statement.  He  says,  in  a  recent  letter, 
in  1857  the  horses  were  better  than  they  are  to-day,  the  infer- 
iority haviog  been  brought  about  by  injudicious  crossings. 
In  the  earlier  day  the  thoroughbred  was  used  exclusively  as 
the  sire,  being  the  only  horse  capable  of  begetting  animals 
which  could  stand  hard  rides  in  the  droughty  districts  where 
the  mercury  sometimes  reaches  116  degrees  to  120  degrees  in 
the  shade.  Mr.  Borthwick  does  not,  of  course,  refer  to  race 
horses.  From  Australia  India  derives  its  best  horses,  the 
Walers,  as  they  are  called,  proving  better  for  that  hot  coun- 
try than  the  Arabian,  desert-bred  horses  themselves.  Taking 
another  long  jump  to  the  southern  states  of  America  we  find 
the  gaited  saddler  sprung  from  and  owing  all  of  his  beauty 
excellence  and  quality  to  the  thoroughbred.  In  Canada  we 
find  the  fancy  walk-trot-and-canter  saddlers  so  eagerly  sought 
for  in  the  New  York  and  other  large  Eastern  markets  all  got 
by  the  thoroughbred,  and  we  have  the  evidence  of  the  most 
successful  dealer  in  such  stock  that  the  blood  horse  is  by  far 
the  most  successful  sire  of  fancv  saddle  and  harness  perform- 
ers for  use  in  the  parks. 

Branching  off  now  into  the  coaching  element  of  the  race 
equine,  we  may  again  begin  in  London.  Many  of  the  finest 
brougham  teams,  majestic,  matched  to  a  pair,  and  fully  six- 
teen and  a  half  to  seventeen  hands  high,  are  bred  in  Ger- 
many, and  carrv  in  some  cases  as  much  as  ninety  per  cent  of 
thorough-blood-  Others,  of  course,  have  less,  but  the  best 
have  the  most.  The  almost  priceless  pairs  we  see  hooked  to 
victorias  and  kindred  carriages  prove  by  their  sprightliness, 
quality  and  bone  their  possession  of  race-hor3e  ancestry. 
Crossing  the  channel  to  France  the  demi-mng,  or  half  bred, 


is  all  prevading,  and  the  more  thorough-blood  there  is  in 
them  the  better.  The  highest  priced  so-called  French 
Coacher  that  was  ever  imported  to  this  country  from  France, 
Dunham's  Perfection,  is  almost  clean  thoroughbred,  and  the 
best  mares  are  of  the  same  parentage.  The  magnificent 
cavalry  of  France  is  mounted  on  horses  got  by  blood  stallions, 
and  the  same  may  be  siid  in  a  great  measure  of  all  the 
European  armaments.  In  England  one  of  the  objects  in  tak- 
ing the  Queen's  Plates  from  the  turf  and  devoting  the  money 
to  subsidizing  owners  of  blood  stallions  to  stand  their  horses 
for  service  at  a  fee  within  the  reach  of  all,  was  to  raise  up 
more  half-bred  horses  for  military  uses.  The  French,  Ger- 
man and  other  continental  countries  eagerly  buy  these  half 
breeds,  giving  good  prices  for  them,  their  speed  and  endur- 
ance fitting  them  for  arduous  service.  Dropping  to  the  com- 
moner ranks  of  equine  life  we  find  that  in  the  vans  of  the 
great  transportation  companies  of  Bri tan, half-bred  horses  are 
used  almost  exclusively.  These  are  expected  to  pull  their 
load  of  perishable  freight — audit  is  not  a  very  light  one  when 
the  start  is  made — at  the  rate  of  eight  miles  an  hour,  includ 
ing  all  stops;  or  to  make  thirty-two  miles  in  the  four  hours 
they  are  on  duty.  Then  t'uey  get  four  hour?  of  rest  and  go 
another  round.  The  butcher's  horse,  the  country  dealer's, 
the  hack,  the  haosom  cab  horse,  all  carry  a  dash  of  blood.  In 
fact,  all  the  horses  of  the  old  world  which  are  expected  to 
perform  hard  tasks  of  speed  and  endurance  must  have  thor- 
ough-blood; the  harder  the  task  the  more  blood  they  must 
have-  The  writer's  father  once  bred  a  Clydesdale  mare  to  a 
blood  stallion,  and  the  foal  resulting,  though  a  poor  looker, 
was  one  of  the  best  roadsters  that  ever  looked  through  a 
bridle.  She  can  pull — and  often  did  pull — four  men,  two 
dogs,  four  guns  and  a  bag  ot  a  day's  shooting,  five  miles  in 
twenty-five  minutes,  and  the  journey  included  one  of  the 
steepest  braes  in  Scotland.  It  certainly  was  not  the  Clydes- 
dale blood  that  enabled  her  to  do  it.  That  rate  of  speed  is 
considered  good  for  a  much  higher-priced  class  of  horses  pull- 
ing about  three  hundred  pounds  all  told,  rig  and  load,  and 
yet  this  mare  was  nothing  very  far  out  of  the  common  in  the 
district  where  she  was  owned.  She  brought  about  £40  when 
sold. 

This  is  the  endurance  that  the  five-furlong  rickety  racing 
machine  gives  his  progeny.  It  is  quite  true  that  the  primary 
uses  for  which  the  thoroughbred  is  bred  tend  to  make  him 
unsound  ;  it  is  the  pace  that  kills,  but  it  is  also  true  that  he 
is  the  highest  type  of  equine  life,  the  most  perfect  horse  and 
the  one  which  possesses  the  highest  physical  development. 
The  bone  of  the  blood  horse  is  snperior  in  density  to  that  of 
any  other,  and  his  lung  capacity  greater.  In  addition  his  skin 
is  finer  and  his  faculties  all  more  acute.  The  i-eason  for  this 
it  easily  given  ;  he  has  been  bred  for  a  specified  purpose  in 
specified  lines  sufficiently  long  Id  fix  the  traits  beyond  the 
susceptibility  of  alteration  within  the  breed.  For  many  de- 
cades this  has  been  true  of  him,  and  his  prepotence  as  an  im- 
proving agent  has  caused  his  universal  use  in  that  capacity. 
Before  condemning  the  thoroughbred  as  useful  only  as  a  rac- 
ing or  gambling  machine,  il  is  well  to  discover  what  he  has 
done  for  the  race  equina  al  large. 

Turning  now  in  conclusion  to  his  place  in  the  breeding  of 
trotters  and  pacers  but  little  can  be  said  fnr  or  against  him 
that  has  not  been  said  before  and  reiterated  ..gain  and  again 
in  all  sorts  of  ways  The  records  bear  out  the  -'.aliment  made 
some  time  ago  in  the  Horseman  that  if  the  breeder  desires  '.u 
roll  up  a  long  2:30  li^t  he  must  have  the  war.n  blood  filtered 
and  attenuated  through  a  number  of  trotting  crosses.  If  he 
wants  a  large  2:10  list  and  can  afford  to  wait  and  take  a  cer- 
tain number  of  chances  he  must  have  thorough  blood  clotte 
upon  one  or  both  sides  of  his  horses'  pedigrees.  It  is  a 
noticeable  fact,  too,  that  the  stallion  who  in  his  prime  was 


578 


©ijc  gveebev  mt&  gpovi&maxx. 


[June  23, 189 


enthusiastically  pronounced  the  handsomest  horse  in  the 
world  does  not  carry  a  drop  of  what  would  nowadays  be 
termed  trotting  blood.  A  horse  of  Mambrino  Patchen'fl 
breeding  would  not  be  termed  troitiog-bred  and  the  same 
may  be  said  of  Edwin  Forrest.  However,  this  fact  is  barely 
germane  to  the  subject  in  band,  though  after  all  it  has  some 
bearing  on  it.  Divorcing  again  from  this  discussion  the  use 
of  the  thoroughbred  in  breeding  harness  racehorses  the  con- 
clusion to  be  reached  is  that  the  blood  horse  is  the  bins  and 
mainstay  of  all  improvement  in  light  horses,  and,  therefore, 
his  more  general  distribution  and  use  in  the  breedingdis- 
tricts  of  the  United  Slates  where  horses  for  purposes  other 
than  speed  are  produced,  would  redound  to  the  credit  and 
emolument  of  the  breeders. — Horseman.

Fourteenth  and  Oae  Hundred  and  Fifteenth  streets,  says 
Isaac  Woodruff.  William  H.  Van  Cut  was  living  near  me 
at  the  time,  on  Third  avenue,  a'.  O  js  H  mdred  and  Eleventh 
street.  He  kept  a  sale  and  training  stable,  and  had  charge  of 
Flora  for  George  Perrin,  and  I  used  to  drive  and  exercise 
with  him.  When  driving  Flora  sometimes  on  the  track, 
which  was  near  by,  I  drove  the  chestnut  mare  Fanny,  be- 
longing at  that  time  to  Dr.  Dixon,  the  celebrated  veterinary 
surgeon,  and  I  likewise  a  bay  stallion  belonging  to  Col.  Kipp, 
the  great  West  Side  stage  proprietor,  with  her.  Van  Cott 
asked  me  at  one  time  what  I  thought  of  Flora's  speed.  I 
made  up  my  miod  that  she  could  trotas  fast  as  2:45  or  better, 
and  I  told  him  so.  He  then  said,  "  I  am  going  to  take  her 
over  to  Long  Island  to-morrow  to  the  track,and  if  she  goes  a 
mile  as  fast  as  2:45  I  can  get  $600  for  her  and  $100  for  my- 
self out  of  it.'"  I  then  said  to  him,  "  I  will  bet  you  a  nice 
driving  cap  of  Mealio's  best  make  that  she  does  it.''  He 
said,  "It's a  bet,  for  I  can  afford  to  pay  that,  as  I  shall  make 
the  $100."  He  came  to  my  place  the  next  evening  and  asked 
me  for  pen,  ink  and  paper,  wrote  me  an  order  for  the  cap, 
saying  at  the  same  time  that  she  made  one  break,  cut  her 
quarters  and  went  in  2:43,  and  was  then  sold  to  John  C. 
Perrin. 

Her  career  after  that  is  well  known,  but  I  will  make  a  few 
remarks  on  a  race  or  two  in  which  she  trotted,  which  may  be 
interesting  to  some  who  did  not  know  the  inside  of  all  things 
connected,  why  McMann  took  her  away  from  my  brother 
Hiram,  and  what  was  the  cause,  or  said  to  be,  etc.  It  was 
said  by  McMann  that  Hiram  drove  her  so  fast  because  he 
thought  she  was  going  to  be  taken  away  from  him.  One 
reason  she  went  so  fast  was  that  Hiram,  in  that  race,  had  her 
shoes  made  lighter,  she  had  been  worked  steadilv,  had  come 
to  the  time  of  her  health  and  strength, and  her  speed  came  to 
her  all  at  once.  I  had  seen  Flora  trot  a  good  many  races, 
but  I  never  saw  her  trot  the  pure  trotting  gait  she  did  that 
day  in  that  race  against  Tacony,  he  to  saddle  and  she  to 
harness,  she  distancing  him  in  2:24A  the  first  heat.  The  long, 
low,  striding  gait  so  low  to  the  ground  and  nothing  but  as 
pure  a  gait  as  man  ever  saw  a  trotting  horse  take.  I  shall 
never  forget  it. 

If  she  had  remained  in  Hiram's  hands  from  that  time  out, 
I  think  she  would  have  gore  on  with  that  gait  and  always 
stuck  to  it,  as  she  was  forgetting  that  rather  high  knee  work 
and  pit-a-pat  action  she  had  when  hurried  before.  But  on 
this  day  she  struck  such  a  dead  level  gait  that  I  had  never 
seen  her  with  before,  so  much  so  that  I  called  the  attention 
of  two  particular  friends  to  notice  it,  which  they  did  with 
surprise. 

Peter  Dubois  and  Joseph  Burr,  who  knew  what  a  trotter 
was,  were  both  as  much  surprised  as  myself,  and  now  I  will 
*late  here  that  those  two  friends,  McMann  and  myself,  stood 
together  on  the  straight  side  of  the  track  when  Flora  was 
coming  up  the  stretch  nearing  us.  Tacony  had  broke  and  just 
caught  when  McMann  put  up  his  hand  and  Hiram  took  a 
poll  on  the  mare  to  take  her  back  when  Tacony  broke  again, 
when  McMann  told  Hiram  to  go  on,  which  he  did.  What 
Flora  could  have  done  on  that  day  if  she  had  been  sent  along 
it  is  hard  to  tell,  and  will  never  be  known.  I  think  it  would 
have  been  the  fastest  mile  she  ever  made  before  or  after.  She 
was  going  away  from  Tacony  with  Hiram  tugging  away  at 
the  bit  all  the  while,  and  she  went  the  first  half  mile  at  a 
2:26  gait  only,  and  was  pulled  off  her  stride  when  McMann 
put  np  his  hand  to  Hiram,  which  he  did,  until  Tacony  broke 
again,  when  he  bid  him  to  go  along  again.  Hiram  drove  her 
no  faster  than  could  be  seen  to  the  score,  which  did  not  look 
as  if  he  had  any  such  object  in  view  as  to  drive  ber  as  fast 
u  she  could  have  trotted  that  day. 

It  appears  that  the  mare  at  one  time  was  owned  or  con- 
trolled by  George  Vogel,  as  I  am  informed,  by  Van  Cott,  who 
»old  her  for  Vogel  to  Joseph  Jewett  and  Barney  Boerum  for 
the  price  of  $4,000,  after  showing  them  the  time  they  wished 
to  see  to  pay  that  amount  for  her.  She  was  taken  to  the  Cen- 
terville  Course  on  Long  Island  and  was  timed  by  a  gentleman 
picked  by  the  parties  to  time  her  for  them,  and  [  am  in- 
formed by  one  of  the  party  that  she  was  to  go  a  mile  in  2:30 
in  harness,  to  a  light  sulky  which  was  usually  kept  there  for 
accommodation.  They  bad  the  mare  driven  over  to  a  heavy 
-■ilky,  and  not  exactly  of  the  right  style,  and  there  being 
quite  a  light  skeleton  wagon  on  the  grounds  they  preferred  it 
i-ithe  sulky,  and  she  trotted  the  mile  in  2:20.  Being  one 
necond  faster  than  the  time  agreed  upon,  she  became  the 
property  of  Jewett  and  Boerum,  and  it  is  needless  to  say 
l  hat  she  was  a  very  cheap  article  at  the  price  paid  for  her,  as 
■he  made  s  good  raanv  (foliate  for  them,  but  never  had  a 
chance  to  realize  for  them  near  the  amount  she  did  after  she 
l**canoe  the  property  of  William  McDonald  and  James  D. 
McMann.  In  her  campaign  of  one  year  her  winnings 
amounted  to  (11,000  for  KCcHtao  and  the  same  amount 
for  McDonald  of  Baltimore,  who  was  half  owner  at  the  time, 
making  $22,000  in  all.  Quite  :)  Bam  at  that  lime  to  realize 
with  a  trotter. 

The  Russian  groom  thai  U  along  with  the  OrlofT  trotter 
Karakul  knows  a  thing  or  two  when  he  runs  up  against  it 
and  while  he  cannot  talk  much  English,  he  once  in  a  while 
uses  the  few  words  in  his  vocabulary  with  a  strong  effect  He 
sizes  up  the  OrlofT  trotter  in  the  following  sentence:  '*The  Etoa- 
ttiao  hoes  is  what  von  call  no  good.  He  goes  two  miles  then 
lays  down  all  ni/ht  and  don't  eat  for  a  week.  The  American 
hoss  be  goes  I  »o  miles,  walks  around  his  stall  all  night  and 
eats,  and  the  next  morning  goes  out  of  the  «lall  on  his  hind 
feet." 


Inguinal  Hernia. 

More  stallions  die  every  year  as  a  result  of  '*  strangulated 
inguinal  hernia"  than  from  all  other  causes  that  may  ap- 
pear, to  be  putting  it  {rather  strong,  but  observation  has  led 
me  to  believe  it  to  be  a  fact,  as  much  as  I  believe  death  in- 
evitable to  all.  I  do  not  mean  to  say  that  the  number  of  stal- 
lions whose  death  is  said  to  be  due  to  strangulated  hernia 
would  equal  the  number  which  are  said  to  die  from  all  other 
causes,  but  the  number  which  actually  die  from  that  cause 
would  understand  by  thai,thatthe  majority  of  stallions  which 
are  said  to  die  from  colic  or  inflammation  of  the  bowels,  if 
the  truth  were  known,  die  from  strangulated  hernia. 

Any  veterinary  surgeon  who  is  called  to  treat  a  stallion 
suffering  from  anything  simulating  colic,  who  fails  to  make  a 
thorough  manual  investigation  per  rectum — the  only  manner 
in  which  a  correct  diagnosis  can  be  arrived  at  with  certainty 
in  the  first  stages — is  not  only  doing  his  patron  an  injustice, 
but  himself  as  well. 

If  all  owners  of  stock  would  insist  u pan  an  autopsy  being 
made — being  present  themselves — when  an  animal  dies,  it 
would  be  a  blessing  to  all  concerned,for  then  we  should  know 
for  a  certainty  whether  we  were  right  or  wrong  in  our  diag- 
nosis, and  perhaps  some  of  us  might  be  made  to  profit  by  our 
mistake  if  nothing  more,  and  that  man  who  is  not  subject  to 
mistakes  does  not  live. 

I  think,  iO0,  that  if  we  all  knew  that  an  autopsy  would  be 
made,  and  in  the  presence  of  theowner,  if  the  animal  did  die, 
we  would  be  a  little  more  thorough  in  our  examination  and 
less  hasty  in  passing  our  opinion  upon  a  case,  for  there 
certainly  seems  to  be  a  desire  upon  the  part  of  some  to  appear 
as  though  they  were  capable  of  "  looking  through  a  horse  at 
a  glance." 

It  has  been  my  lot  to  be  called  to  a  goodly  number  of  cases 
of  what  proved  to  be  strangulated  inguinal  hernia  in  stallions, 
sometimes  as  counsel,  and  I  was  often  the  first  man  in 
attendance,  so  that  I  have  seen  the  trouble  in  all  of  its 
phases  and  in  stallions  worth  but  a  few  dollars  and  those 
worth  thousands  of  dollars.  I  have  been  called  in  time  to 
save  them  without  an  operation,  at  others  an  operation  saved 
the  life  of  the  animal  and  one  testicle,  in  some  cases  only  the 
life  of  the  animal  was  saved,  while  some  have  been  too  far 
gone  to  save  even  their  life, 

I  refer  to  the  above  only  to  give  more  weight  to  what  I 
shall  say  further  on,  as  we  are  all  qualified  to  deal  with  any 
subject  when  we  have  had  experience,  even  though  we  were 
fully  posted  theoretically  previous  to  our  having  had  the  ex- 
perience, for  experience  gives  us  the  chance  to  verify  or 
falsify  the  theory,  and  not  all  that  proves  to  be  good  theory 
proves  to  be  good  practice. 

Before  giving  symptoms  as  they  have  appeared,  I  propose 
going  a  little  further  into  the  business  and  explain  to  the  aver- 
age reader  why  it  is  so  apt  to  occur  in  stallions. 

What  we  know  as  strangulated  inguinal  hernia  is  6imply  a 
passage  of  a  portion  of  the  small  intestines  down  through  the 
inguinal  ring  or  rings,  and  even  into  the  testicle  sack,  and  is 
commonly  called  rupture,  because  it  is  erroneously  supposed 
to  be  necessary  for  some  sort  of  a  rupture  to  take  place  in  or- 
der to  permit  of  a  passage  of  the  intestines  down.  Even  the 
word  hernia  is  a  misnomer,  as  there  is  a  perfectly  natural 
opening  there  for  the  passage  of  the  necessary  cord,  blood 
vessels,  nerves,  etc.,  which  connect  themselves  with  the  testi- 
cles, *>nd  this  opening  called  the  inguinal  canal  remains  open 
as  long  as  the  horse  remains  entire,  but  after  castration  it 
closes  up  to  such  an  extent,  generally,  that  it  is  impossi- 
ble for  the  intestines  or  any  portion  of  them  to  pass  through. 
Nearly  every  one  knows  what  a  tendency  the  small  in- 
testines of  any  animal  have  to  pass  a  small  portion  through 
a  very  small  opening,  and  continue  to  drag  more  through 
after  it.  This  tendency,  together  with  the  fact  that  in  doing 
service,  the  great  bulk  of  the  intestines,  especially  the  small, 
which  are  comparatively  loose  and  floating,  are  forced  back 
in  the  region  directly  over  the  inguinal  canal,  will  explain 
why  stallions  are  so  liable  to  the  trouble,  and  when  it  is 
known  too  that  the  symptoms  of  strangulated  hernia  so  closely 
simulates  a  severe  or  fatal  case  of  spasmodic  colic  or  inflam- 
mation of  the  bowels,  so  far  as  is  possible  for  an  ordinary  ob- 
server to  see,  it  will  be  the  more  readily  understood  that  I 
meant  and  fully  believe,  as  I  asserted  at  the  beginning  of  ihis 
article,  that  "strangulated  hernia  "  causes  the  death  of  a  great 
many  more  stallions  than  is  generally  supposed,  and  for  the 
benefit  of  brother  practitioners  who  may  have  overlooked  or 
never  have  had  the  opportunity  of  observing  one  of  these 
cases  I  propose  refreshing  their  memory. 

As  I  have  said  before,  he  will  evince  all  the  ordinary  symp- 
toms of  spasmodic  colic,  even  to  the  "  anxious  countenance," 
and  they  generally  have  a  special  tendency  to  lie  upon   their 
sternum  with  their  fore  feet  out  in  front  of  them,  as  if  to  get 
up,  and  partially  rise  up  on  their  front  feet  and  strain.    They 
will  point  with  the  nose  a  little  farther  back   and  lower  down 
than  with  the  colic,  ordinarily;  the  pulse  is  rather  hard,  firm 
and  quick,  varying  in   frequency  at  different  stages,  and  the 
temperature  is  one  of  the  diagnostic  features,  as  I    have  never 
seen  it  above  101  degrees  Fahrenheit  in  any  case,  while  from 
all  other  symptoms  one  would  expect  to  find  it  much  higher  in 
some  cases.     But  I  will  say  right  here  that  you  must  not  rely 
t  wholly  upon  such  a  condition  of  things,  but  must  resort  to  an 
examination  per  rectum  to  verify  your  suspicions,  as  you  will 
get  exactly  such  a  condition  of  afl-tirs  in  "gut-tie,"  volvulus," 
"intussusception"  and  other  similar  conditions  of  the  bowels. 
Upon   making  an   examination    per   rectum   you  will   with 
ease  he  able  to  locate  f  he  internal  inguinal  ring  and  the  "cord" 
leading     down     to    it,     but    you    must    not     expect     to 
find   the  portion  of   intestine  at  or  near  the  ring  full  size 
or    in    anything    like    a     natural    condition,    as    it      will 
feel  more  like  another  "  cord  "   entering  the  ring  and  drawn 
tight,  and  if  it  is  your  first  experience  it  will  be  a  little  diffi- 
cult at  first  for  j on  to  believe  that  it  can  be  an   intestine  at 
ill.    Of  course  if  the  case  is  so  far  advanced  as  to  show  visi- 
ble enlargement  of  the  testicle  sack,  or  scrotum,  you  will  not 
be  bothered  so  much  in  diagnosing  the  case,  but  you  will,  no 
doubt,  be  less  apt  to  successfully  treat  the  case  at  that  stage 
of  the  game.     If  called  to  a  case  early  and  you  find  a  small 
portion  of  the  intestine  in  the  inguinal  canal,  you  will  prob- 
ably be  able  to  reduce  it  by  traction  per  rectum,  after  placing 
the  animal  on  his  back  and  with  a  little  assistance  outside, 
but  don't  fool  away  too  much  valuable  time  undertaking  to 
do  that  in  a  case  of  a  few  hours'  standing,  but  resort  to  an 
operation  at  once.    You   may  use   an  anesthetic  or  not,  as 


your  judgment  dictates — I  have  been  successful  both  ways — 
make  your  incision  through  the  scrotum  well  up,  and  when 
you  cut  down  into  the  intestine  you  will  find  it  filled  with 
fluid.  Tap  it  with  a  hollow  needle,  use  a  little  sweet  oil, 
traction  per  rectum,  and  don't  hesitate  to  cut  the  external 
inguinal  ring  a  little  if  necessary  to  replace  the  gut.  Follow 
Williams'  directions  as  regards  the  clam,  etc.  If  the  animal 
is  very  valuable  yon  may  save  the  testicle  on  the  opposite 
side,  but  if  not  I  would  advise  the  removal  of  both,  although 
I  believe  that  with  the  experience  I  have  had  that  it  woulri 
be  possible  for  me  to  save  both  testicles,  bat  I  would  not  ad- 
vise anyone  to  undertake  that  feat  if  it  is  their  first  attempt 
at  such  an  operation. 

If  upon  cutting  down  onto  the  intestine  you  find  it  as 
"black  as  your  hat,"  but  still  "  shining,"  and  you  have  a  suc- 
cessful operation — as  you  should — you  may  hope  for  a  suc- 
cessful termination,  but  if  the  gut  has  a  dull,  lifeless  appear- 
ance you  may  as  well  throw  up  the  sponge.  After  the  opera- 
tion use  as  much  pow.  opii.  as  is  necessary  to  keep  the  animal 
quiet — never  fear  for  its  effect  on  the  bowels  in  these  oases — 
and  give  soft  and  easily  digested  food,  and  if  you  have  left 
one  testicle  apply  a  support  for  some  time. 

All  stallion  owners  should  insist  upon  the  attending  veter- 
inary surgeon  making  a  thorough  examination  for  inguinal 
hernia  in  all  cases  simulating  colic,  for  if  taken  in  lime  it 
maybe  reduced,  in  a  majority  of  cases,  without  resorting  to 
an  operation,  but  if  too  late  for  that  don't  hesitale  to  resort 
to  the  use  of  the  knife  by  an  acknowledged  surgeon. — Dr.

Sticking  to  the  G-ait. 


One  of  the  most  common  sayings  on  the  race  track  re- 
garding a  horse  that  is  known  to  be  "good"  is  that  "  he  can 
go  the  route,"and  one  of  the  rarest  things  in  racing  is  a  horse 
that  can  stay  a  mile.  In  running  it  is  the  fact  that  the 
majority  of  horses  cannot  last  six  furlongs,  and  in  trotting  it 
is  no  less  a  fact  that  the  average  horse  tires  after  going  at 
the  top  of  his  speed  once  from  wire  to  wire.  This  may 
doubtless  be  questioned,  but  men  so  expert  in  their  profession 
as  they  who  trained  the  first  three-year-old  to  beat  2:10,  the 
first  two-year-old  to  beat  2:20,  the  first  horse  or  mare  to  beat 
2:08$,  the  first  three-yeax-old  to  trot  as  fast  as  2:18,  and  the 
driver  of  three  stallion  champions  have  said  to  the  writer 
that  the  trotter  that  trots  for  all  that  is  in  him  from  wire  to 
wire,  to  put  it  in  the  words  that  one  of  the  gentlemen  used, 
"  needs  a  rest  more  than  another  heat  in  twenty  minutes." 

There  is  just  so  much  brush  in  a  horse,  and  gait  has  not  a 
little  to  do  with  it.  Take  animals  like  Goldsmith  Maid,  Pix- 
ley,  Vic  H.,  Senator  Conkling,  etc.,  and  their  foulness  of 
action  enabled  them  to  go  heat  after  heat  where  a  pure-gaited 
one  would  tire,  while  horses  like  Alvin,  Smuggler  and  the 
little  mares  of  the  old-time  Lula  and  May  Queen,  not  to  men- 
tion faster  and  more  recent  examples,  wear  out  through  the 
very  Uboriousness  of  their  action.  Leaving  out,  however, 
the  "shifty  "  gaited  ones  and  those  of  faulty  and  lumbering 
gait  there  are  left  trotters  like  Alix,  Kremlin,  Arion,  Sunol 
and  others  that  might  be  named,  that  have  speed  enough  to 
tire  in  half  a  mile — and  this  is  said  in  no  wise  as  a  reflection. 
Firenzi  was  the  best  running  mare  of  her  day  at  a  mile  and  a 
half,  but  we  have  seen  a  sprinter  carry  her  so  fast  a  half  that 
she  was  done ;  and  other  similar  instances  might  be  cited.  It 
has  been  said  that  nothing  will  so  quickly  offend  a  man  as  an 
aspersion  on  his  wife  or  his  horse,  and  so  it  might  not  be  well 
to  be  specific,  but  at  least  two  of  the  living  champions  were 
so  pure  gaited  and  so  fast  that  they  could  trot  themselves  to 
a  standstill  in  half  a  mile,  and  either  could  go  a  quarter  in 
thirty  seconds  or  better. 

But,  under  the  present  usages  of  racing,  is  purity  of  gait 
really  an  advantage?  Accepting  it  as  a  fact,  which  it  assur- 
edly is,  that  a  horse  thai  can  relieve  himself  (or  herself,  as 
the  case  may  be)  by  bandy  jumps,  by  "skiving"  and  skip- 
ping, will  outlast  a  pure-gaited  one  that  trots  or  paces  pnrely, 
are  the  rules  as  to  the  judgment  of  heats  adequate  and  suffici- 
ently specific  to  be  just  ?  Every  man  who  has  "  followed  the 
circuit"  to  any  extent  has  repeatedly  seen  good  honest  horses 
beaten  by  the  hopping,  handy  kind  ;  has  seen  the  judges,  per- 
haps, against  their  better  judgment,  but  following  the  letter 
of  the  rules,  award  the  money,  and  has  felt  that  a  wrong  in 
racing  has  been  done.     Yet  all  was  according  to  rule. 

The  rules  prescribe  that  a  horse  departing  from  the  gait 
at  which  the  race  is  supposed  to  be  contested  must  be  taken 
back  by  the  driver  promptl*-,  but  this  is  applied  only  to  run- 
ning, to  trotting  in  pacing  races  and  to  pacing  in  trotting 
races,  and  not  always  to  those.  Indeed,  we  once  saw  at  quite 
a  pretentious  track  a  horse  win  a  heat  pacing  in  a  trotting 
race,  the  judges,  prominent  citizens  and  worthy  men  of  every 
day,  failing  to  observe  the  incongiuity  of  gait.  But  in  the 
perfect  harness  racing  time  that  is,  as  all  hope,  to  come,  will 
not  purity  of  gait  count  for  something,  and  will  not  "jump- 
ing," hopping,  skipping,  running  behind,  and  all  false  action 
and  unfair  advantages  at  speed  be  considered  ? 

The  professional  judge,  however,  must  make  his  advent 
before  the  day  of  justice  for  the  horse  of  pure  and  honest 
gait,  and  this  consideration  is  one  that  weighs  much  with 
those  who  wish  to  see  trained  men  always  in  the  stand. —

Australian  Items. 


Wherever  the  British  public  settle,  so  surely  do  weq*ickly 
find  an  annual  race  meeting  established.  Recently,  just  when 
it  seemed  th&t  most  of  the  population  of  Coolgardie  would 
be  starred  out  of  the  place,  welcome  rains  began  to  fall,  and 
thus  relieved  from  all  fears  of  a  famine  the  spirits  of  the  com- 
munity rose,  and  the  one  strong  Australian  instinct  came  to 
the  top.  St.  Patrick's  Day  was  close  at  hand,  and  to  duly 
celebrate  the  occasion  a  sports  meeting  was  decided  on,  and 
in  spite  of  the  shortness  of  the  time  in  which  to  make  ar- 
rangements, a  strong  committee  was  formed,  some  £60  sub- 
scribed, and,  according  to  a  correspondent  of  the  Argus,  a 
highly  successful  gathering  was  the  result.  The  greatest 
amount  of  interest  centered,  we  are  told,  in  the  camel  race. 
These  animals  are  largely  used  for  transport,  and  a  good  deal 
of  jealousy  exists  between  the  European  and  the  African 
owners  as  to  who  possess  the  fastest,  so  when  it  became  known 
that  camels  owned  by  rival  parties  were  among  the  competi- 
tors excitement  ran  high.  The  writer  gives  an  amusing  ac- 
count of  the  race  :  — A  good  start  was  effected,  and  then  en- 
sued one  of  the  most  laughable  affairs,  I  venture  to  say,  that 
ever  took  place  at  a  sports  gathering.  Each  rider  urged  on 
his  animal  with  sticks,  free  use  of  heels,  and  West  Australian 
oratory.  The  camels  resented  this  treatment  by  a  series  of 
loud  bellows  (which  only  a  camel  can  make).  The  race  soon 
resolved  itself  into  one  between  a  camel  owned  by  Mr. 
Massey  and  ridden  by  Mr.  Lindsay,  and  one  ridden  by  Ameer, 
which  belonged  to  the  Afghans.  Greater  excitement  never 
prevailed  over  the  finish  of  a  Melbourne  Cup  than  was 
evinced  in  the  contest  between  these  two.  Ameer  kept  the 
lead,  however,  until  the  final  round,  when  Mr.  Lindsay  grad- 
ually overhauled  him,  and  passed  him  amidst  the  cheers  of 
the  people,  but  alas  for  the  peculiar  temper  of  these  brutes. 
Only  wanting  some  fifty  yards  to  the  winning  post,  the  camel 
turned  nasty,  stopped  suddenly,  and  quietly  "  squatted." 
Roars  of  laughter  followed  this  performance,  and  it  was  only 
the  united  efforts  of  some  half  a  dozen  men  plying  "waddies" 
on  the  poor  unfortunate  beast  that  persuaded  him  to  get  up 
and  continue  his  journey.  In  the  meantime  Ameer  had 
passed  Mr.  Lindsay,  and  came  in  an  easy  winner.  The  race, 
however,  was  not  over  then,  for  the  three  placed  camels  were 
disqualified  for  running  inside  a  post,  and  one  ridden  bv  an 
Afghan,  though  coming  in  ten  minutes  behind  the  others, 
was  declared  the  winner.  The  honors  of  the  day,  therefore, 
rested  with  the  alien.  It  does  not  appear,  though,  that  there 
was  any  suspicion  of  Mr.  Lindsay  having  "pulled"  his 
mount,  and  judging  from  the  remarkable  habits  of  the  camel, 
the  stewards  who  werfe  called  upon  to  decide  on  en  allegation 
of  inconsistent  running  in  a  camel  race  would  have  their 
work  cut  out  for  them.  There  are  evidently  great  possibilities 
in  this  branch  of  the  sport  of  kings,  and  in  days  to  come 
when  the  West  Australian  gold  6elds  are  occupied  by  a  large 
population  the  Coolgardie  Cup  *'  for  camels  that  have  been 
regularly  worked  during  the  past  dry  season,''  may  attract  as 
much  attention  as  the  Melbourne  Cup  of  to-day. 

The  Sydney  Bulletin  publishes  a  letter  received  by  an  Aus- 
tralian consultationist:  "I  have  sent  an  order  for  a  ticket," 
writes  an  applicant,  "and  I  have  added  -id  extra  for  the  re- 
turn postage,  and  oh,  how  earnestly  I  pray  that  God  will  bless 
and  prosper  me  with  good  luck  this  time.  I  have  always 
believed  your  works  to  be  fair  and  honest,  or  I ,  would  not 
have  supported  them  so  long  as  I  have  done.  Oh,  dear  sir, 
my  earnest  prayer  to  God  is  that  He  will  bless  and  prosper 
me  with  a  favorable  result.  I  am  a  believer  in  prayer  and  I 
trust  sincerely  that  God  will  bless  and  prosper  me,  if  it 
should  please  Him  to  do  so.  To  express  my  gratitude  to 
your  work3  most  willingly  do  I  give  you  permission  to  de- 
duct 2  s.  out  of  every  1  £  I  receive  after  you  have  taken 
your  discount  off;  yes,  2  s.  in  every  1  £.  for  I  am  trusting  in 
God's  blessing  to  prosper  me.  My  reason  for  asking  His 
great  blessing  this  time  is  because  the  Building  Society  has 
closed  and  locked  up  poor  depositors'  money  for  two  or  three 
years,  and  oh,  my  sincere  prayer  is  th*t  the  Lord  will  Dless 
me  this  time.  It  is  the  Lord  alone  that  knows  that  I  have 
wrote  these  few  words  to  entreat  His  blessing  upon  me.  May 
God  bless  and  prosper  me  as  well  as  you  if  you  want  it,  is  the 
sincere  prayer  of  you  subscriber,  and  may  God's  blessing  rest 
upon  all."  And  yet,  so  hard-hearted  is  Providence,  this 
pious  speculator  didn't  draw  a  winner. 

"  Mating  "  competitions  are  being  conducted  by  the  Lon- 
don Sportsman.  A  recent  competition  was  to  decide  which 
was  the  most  suitable  horse  in  the  whole  world  to  match  with 
the  great  performer  La  Fleche,  by  St.  Simon,  from  Quiver, 
by  Toxophilite.  The  prizes  were  to  be  awarded  half  in  accord- 
ance with  the  selection  of  the  newspaper's  "  special  commis- 
sioner," and  half  as  the  majority  of  the  readers  voted.  Both 
Carbine  and  Carnage,  Australians  will  be  interested  to  learn, 
figured  largely  in  the  competition.  The  l<  special  commis- 
sioner"  decided  in  favor  of  Carnage,  and  nineteen  corres- 
pondents also  sent  in  Carnage's  name.  There  were,  however, 
thirty-three  selections  for  Carbine  and  thirty-three  for  Or- 
monde. Four  prizes  were  divided  between  the  selectors  of 
Carnage  and  six  between  the  adherents  of  Carbine  and  Or- 
monde in  the  order  their  letters  were  opened.  As  showing 
the  widespread  interest  taken  in  the  competit*on,  it  may  be 
mentioned  that  the  prizetakers  who  selected  Carnage  reside 
at  Lancashire,  Manchester,  Hamburg  and  British  Guiana 
respectively,  and  the  three  who  selected  Carbine  at  Demerara, 
Ely  and  Montana,  U.  S.  A.  Mr.  Herman  Goos,  of  Hamburg, 
who  is  recognized  as  a  very  great  authority  on  the  science  of 
breeding,  wrote  as  follows  in  forwarding  his  selection  : 

"My  selection  is  Carnage,  the  Australian  Derby  winner  in 
1393,  and  I  choose  this  horse  not  only  because  you  have 
written  in  the  Sportsman  what  -i  horse  this  (Carnage)  or  Car- 
bine would  be  to  cross  with  La  Fleche,  but  also  the  mating 
of  Carnage  and  La  Fleche  being  quite  corresponding  to  the 
method  I  constructed  for  myself  to  mate  horses  and  mares. 
This  method  I  have  described  in  an  article  entitled  "The 
Breeding  of  Ladas"  in  that  number  of  the  Sport  Welt  which 
I  toot  the  liberty  to  send  you  at  the  end  of  last  year.  The 
presumptive  produce  of  Carnage  and  La  Fleche  would  be 
bred  on  the  model  of  Musket.  Musket  is  by  Toxophilite,  out 
of  a  granddaughter  of  Brown  Bess,  and  the  presumptive  pro- 
dace  by  a  great  grandson  of  Toxophilite,  out  of  a  great  grand- 
daughter of  Brown  Bess.  Morever,  this  great  grandson  of 
Tox  is  through  his  two  grandfathers,  Musket  and  Knowsley, 
also  great  great  grandson  of  Brown  Bess,  and  we  will  have 
that  famous  mare  three  times  through  her  three  nameless 
daughters  by  Orlando,  West  Australian  and  Y.  Melbourne, 
and  we  shall  have  also  your  friend  Tramp  six  times  and 


Tramp's  dam  three  times  in  the  pedigree.  I  enclose  the  ped- 
igrees of  Carnage  and  La  Fleche,  in  which  I  have  marked 
the  most  interesting  points  with  colors,  and  also  a  table  show- 
ing the  Tramp  family." 

No  one,  says  the  Australasian,  will  begrudge  Mr.  William 
Blackler  his  victory  in  the  Adelaide  Cup.  I  suppose  he  has 
been  loDger  on  the  turf  than  any  man  at  present  racing  in 
South  Australia,  and  a  straighter  man  never  owned  a  horse. 
Port  Admiral's  triumph  will  occasion  no  surprise  in  Mel- 
bourne, as  we  saw  him  run  a  capital  race  against  Brockleigh 
in  the  Caulfield  Stakes,  and  he  was  fifth  in  the  Melbourne 
Cup,  besides  being  unluckily  beaten  in  the  Hotham  Handi- 
cap. Until  he  landed  the  Adelaide  Cup,  Port  Admiral  was 
undoubtedly  an  unfortunate  horse,  although  he  must  always 
have  earned  enough  to  pay  his  oat's  bills  since  being  put  into 
training  the  second  time.  To  r.tn  second  in  the  City  Handi- 
cap and  Birthday  Cup  at  one  meeting  and  then  to  run  so 
well  without  winning  all  through  the  "Carnival"  in  Victoria 
was  very  bad  luck,  but  I  have  no  doubt  that  with  Mr.  Black- 
ler a  victory  in  the  Adelaide  Cup  will  be  ample  compensa- 
tion for  all  his  previous  disappointments. 

During  the  two  first  days  of  the  Adelaide,  South  Australian 
meeting,  no  less  a  sum  than  £28.702  passed  through  the  total- 
isator.  This  surely  does  not  look  as  if  the  sportsmen  in  the 
colonies  were  bankrupt,  $143,510  ! 

An  English  bred  horse  named  Mostyn  gave  the  sports  at 
the  Adelaide,  South  Australian,  meeting  a  "facer"  in  the 
Goodwood  Handicap.  It  was  his  second  appearance  on  a 
racefield  in  the  colonies. 

New  Zealand  Horse  Notes. 


"  Cives,"  the  pleasant  and  witty  writer  of  "  Passing  Notes'' 
in  the  Dunedin  (New  Zealand)  "  Witness  "  has  the  follow- 
ing to  say  anent  horse  sense : 

Whoever  holds  forth  noon  racing,  pro  or  -:oa,  feels  it  in- 
cumbent on  bim  to  pay  a  compliment  to  that  noble  animal, 
the  horse.  "The  horse  is  the  noblest  of  animal,"  says  the 
Scots'  Church  divine,  "  and  has  been  man's  most  useful  ally  in 
the  arts  of  war  and  peace."  And  he  quotes  the  Chief  Justice 
of  Victoria  in  words  to  the  same  effect.  By  the  mouth  of  two 
such  witnesses,  not  to  mention  the  poets  one  and  all,  the 
horse's  patent  of  nobility  may  be  established  ;  nevertheless  I 
demur.  If  a  handsome  appearance,  a  turn  for  speed,  the 
brains  of  a  hen,  associated  not  uncommonly  with  a  demonia- 
cal temper,  entitle  a  crack  racer  to  the  first  rank  among  quad- 
rupeds, he  may  properly  be  described  as  the  "'  noblest  of  ani- 
mals;" otherwise  not.  The  horse  is  weak  on  the  intellectual 
side.  True,  I  have  seen  a  circus  horse  that  could  tell  the 
time  of  day,  and  have  known  one  or  two  remarkably  leery 
ponies  in  private  life,  but  my  general  estimate  of  the  reason- 
ing powers  of  the  horse  is  '  given  by  a  writer 
in  a  recent  periodical,  which  says :  "  I  have  seen 
horses  walk  around  a  post  until  they  had  wound  up 
the  bridle,  and  then  stand  there  with  their  heads  bound  down 
to  the  post  because  they  didn't  have  sense  enough  to  walk 
the  other  way  and  unwind  the  bridle.  1  have  seen  them  get 
a  foot  over  the  bridle,  when  tied  to  a  ring  in  the  payment, 
and  then  go  into  fits  because  they  didn't  have  sense  enough 
to  life  their  feet  over  the  bridle  again.  I  have  seen  them 
prance  around  in  a  burning  barn,  with  their  tails  and  manes 
on  fire,  and  burn  to  death  because  they  did  not  have  sense 
enough  to  run  out.  Anybody  can  steal  a  horse  without  any 
objection  fiom  the  horse.  A  horse  will  stand  and  starve  and 
freeze  to  death  with  nothing  between  him  and  a  comfortable 
stall  and  plenty  of  oats  except  an  old  door  that  he  could 
kick  down  with  one  foot,  or  that  could  be  opened  by  remov- 
ing the  pin  with  the  teeth.  If  this  is  a  high  degree  of  in- 
telligence even  in  a  brute  then  I  am  lacking  in  that  article 
myeelf.  Compared  with  the  dog,  the  elephant,  or  even  the 
parrot,  the  horse  seems  to  me  to  be  a  perfect  fool." 

The  same  writer  has  the  following  thrust  at  some  of  the 
Presbyterian  ministers : 

It  is  satisfactory  to  note  that  a  Presbyterian  minister  in 
Melbourne,  the  pastor  of  Scot's  Church,  has  been  able  to 
preach  a  long  sermon  against  the  sins  of  the  turf  without 
himself  sinning  against  reason  and  moderation.  There  are 
no  hysterics  and  no  exaggerations.  He  keeps  himself  well 
in  hand  from  start  to  finish,  and  to  some  of  his  conclusions 
even  the  very  bookmakers  might  sav"amen."  Not  at  all, 
perhaps — one  of  his  conclusions  is  that  bookmakers  should 
he  abolished — but  to  some,  as  for  example  that  the  totalisa- 
tor  is  a  pestilent  abomination  that  ought  not  to  be  permitted 
to  exist.  Most  bookmakers,  I  fancy,  would  subscribe  to  that. 
For  the  preacher's  other  recommendations  see  Argus:  lam 
concerned  only  to  note  the  phenomenon  of  a  parson  who  can 
talk  on  this  subject  without  losing  his  head.  As  for  Cup 
Day,  he  was  "  disposed  to  view  it  as  a  great  national  institu- 
tion ;  as  the  biggest  holiday  in  Australia,  and  the  great  spring- 
tide fete  of  the  people  than  a  horse  race."  The  reverend 
gentleman,  I  gather,  had  been  there  himself,  and  indeed  he 
suggested  that  it  would;be  well  if  the  whole  Presbytery  put  in 
an  appearance  at  Flemington  in  a  body.  It  would  be  an  ex- 
cellent opportunity,  he  thought,  "of  mingling  with  the  peo- 
ple in  their  social  enjoyments,  and  knowing  them,  for  our 
profit  and  theirs,  in  the  freedom  and  familiarity  of  holiday 
guise  and  circumstance."  I  commend  this  suggestion  to  our 
"seamy  side"  parsonsin  Dunedin.  They  will  say  that  their 
Melbourne  brother  is  going  too  far.  Well,  it  may  be  admitted 
that  when  a  clerical  person  of  Puritan  training  does  break 
away  he  generally  goes  "  a  docker."  Apropos,  here  is  a  story 
from  a  recent  number  of  Truth  illustrating  the  baleful  fas- 
cinations of  golf: 

A  Scotsman,  a  retired  ministerof  the  kirk,  was  deploring 
the  tendency  of  the  game  to  become  a  ruliog  passion,  and  also 
to  induce  bad  language.  "  In  fact,"  he  said,  "I  had  to  give 
it  up  for  that  reason."  "Give  up  golf!"  exclaimed  his 
friend.     "  No,"  said  his  reverence,  "  the  meenistry." 

Just  now  says  a  writer  in  the  Dunedin  Times  some  of  the 
"  unco  guid  "  are  horrified  at  the  idea  of  an  English  Prime 
Minister  being  the  owner  of  a  Derby  favorite,  but  surelv  this 
is  not  new  with  English  statesmen,  for  Lord  Palmerston  bad 
a  favorite  in  i860,  when  he  was  Prime  Minister.  That  jaunty 
lord  had  all  the  juvenility  and  physical  and  intellectual  ac- 
tivity in  old  age  that  we  now  see  to  an  even  greater  extent  in 
Mr.  Gladstone.  He  was  between  70  and  60  when  he  owned 
Mainstone,  and  it  is  related  of  him  that  he  several  times  rode 
on  horseback  from  Broadlands  to  Stockbridge  to  see  his  fav- 
orite gallop,  and  then  rode  him  home  again,  a  ride,  we  be- 
lieve, of  upwards  of  forty  miles.  He  had  horses  at  Danebury 
as  early  as  1817,  and,  considering   that  he  had  never  at  any 


time  many,  a  good  amount  of  fortune  attended  him.  His 
best  winner  was  Iliona,  who  won  the  Cesarewitch.  He  bought 
her  for  an  "o!dsong"at  Tattersall's,  not  knowing  that  she 
was  one  of  Lord  George  Bentinck's  cast-offs,  to  which  Cruci- 
fix, as  a  yearling,  could  give  over  2st.  It  was  not,  however, 
until  lS59lhat  there  appeared  to  be  a  Derby  before  him.  His 
bay  colt,  Mainstone,  won  two  out  of  three  races,  and  in  the 
third  was  beaten  by  only  a  head  by  the  redoubtable  Thorman- 
by,  who  was  the  ultimate  Derby  winner.  On  the  Derby  Day 
Lord  Palmerston  met  Lord  Derby  on  Epsom  Downs,  and  a 
good  deal  of  bandinage  passed  between  them.  Lord  Derby 
was  going  for  The  Wizard,  who  was  the  favorite,  and  who 
had  been  tried  with  his  horse,  Cape  Flyaway,  who  was  started 
to  make  the  running  for  him.  Lord  Palmerston's  green 
jacket  and  orange  cap  were  nowhere,  and  The  Wizard  ran  a 
good  second  to  Thormanby.

Some  Famous  Derbys. 

The  Philadelphia  Press  published  the  following  interesting 
article  last  week  : 

"For  the  first  Derby  there  were  thirty-six  subscribers  and 
nine  runners.  In  those  days  two-year-olds  were  nominated 
and  the  subscribers  pledged  themselves  to  nominate  a  horse 
the  next  year.  Also  at  the  first  Derby  the  racing  was  not 
supposed  to  be  a  sufficient  attraction  and  the  programme  was 
strengthened  by  a  cock  fight  between  the  gentlemen  of  Surrey 
and  the  gentlemen  of  Wiltshire.  The  value  of  the  stakes 
was  1,015  guineas,  and  Diomed,  who  won,  made  what  was 
then  the  record  total  of  5,165  guineas  in  his  third  year.  Twice 
afterward  he  was  beaten  by  Boudrow,  the  second  in  the  race 
(by  the  famous  Eclipse),  and  then,  falling  lame,  he  was  sent 
to  the  stud.  In  179S  Diomed  was  sold  for  50  guineas  to  go  to 
America,  where  he  promptly  died,  but  not  before  his  wily 
purchaser  had  resold  him  for  £1,000.  Diomed  was  owned  by 
the  famous  Sir  Charles  Buobury,  who  had  been  steward  of 
the  Jockey  Club  in  1768,  and  was  the  first  of  the  turfs  lords 
paramount.  He  married  Lady  Sarah  Lennox,  the  beautiful 
girl  with  whom  George  III.  had  fallen  in  love,  and,  like  so 
many  of  the  early  members  of  the  Jockey  Club,  he  completed 
his  marriage  by  a  divorce.  Lady  Sarah  afterward  married 
Col.  Napier,  and  became  the  mother  of  two  very  famous 
officers.  Sir  Charles  was  the  first  to  win  both  the  Derby  and 
Oaks  in  one  year — in  1801,  with  Eleanor,  whom  he  described 
as  "a  hell  of  a  mare" — and  in  1S13  he  won  the  Two  Thous- 
and and  the  Derby  for  the  first  time  in  history  with  Smo- 
leusko. 

In  1S28  the  Duke  of  Rutland's  Cadland  ran  a  dead  heat 
with  The  Colonel,  and  won  the  run-off  after  a  desperate  race, 
by  half  a  length.  The  second  dead  heat  was  in  1884,  when 
St.  Gatien  and  Harvester  could  not  be  split,  and  Sir  John 
Willougbby,  Harvester's  owner,  ran  third  with  Queen  Ade- 
laide. The  stakes  were  divided.  In  1S40  Little  Wonder  won 
and  this  is  the  only  Derby  which  the  Queen  has  seen.  In 
1840  Running  Rein  won,  but  it  was  proved  that  the  colt's 
real  name  was  Maccabeus,  and  that  he  was  a  fonr-year-old. 
Lord  George  Bentinck  exposed  the  plot. 

In  1S49  Flying  Dutchman  won,  and  the  next  year  Volti- 
geur's  victory  caused  such  a  controversy  that  a  match  between 
the  cracks  was  arranged  at  Doneaster.  After  a  glorious  race 
the  Dutchman  beat  the  "flyer"  by  a  neck.  In  1857  Blink 
Bonny  beat  a  field  of  thirty  horses.  She  started  at  20  to  1, 
and  Black  Tommy,  against  whom  200  to  1  was  laid,  ran 
second. 

In  1S6S  Sir  Joseph  Hawley  who  declared  to  win  with  Ros- 
icrucian  and  Gre^n  Sleeve,  saw  them  both  beaten  by  his  own 
Blue  Gown,  whom  the  public  followed,  seeing  that  the  jockey 
was  given  his  choice,  and  rode  Blue  Gown  in  preference  to 
the  others.  In  1862  Caractacus,  with  40  to  1  od  offered 
against  him,  won  by  a  neck. 

Bend  Or*s  was  one  of  the  finest  races  ever  seen.  The  owner 
and  jockey  of  Robert  the  Devil  won  the  Cesarewitch  and  the 
St.  Leger  from  Bend  Or,  who,  however,  won  the  Epsom  Cup 
from  him  as  a  four-year-old,  and  proved  once  more  the  liking 
of  certain  horses  for  certain  courses.  An  equally  close  race 
was  St.  Blaise's  when  many  people  thought  that  Highland 
Chief  was  in  front  at  the  post.  In  1885  Melton  just  beat  Par- 
adox in  the  last  stride,  and  Mr.  Brodick  Cloete  took  his  defeat 
with  a  joke  on  his  lips. 

A  party  of  Austrian  gentlemen  were  among  the  visitors  to 
Fleetwood  last  week.  They  have  purchased  a  number  of  fast 
trotters  at  the  track  within  the  past  week,  and  will  ship  some 
lweni_T-fi>-e  head  to  Vienna  in  a  few  days.  Jerome  Whelpley 
sold  them  a  fast  stallion  by  Mansfield,  also  the  bay  mare  Ac- 
tress, by  Alcantara,  that  won  second  money  at  the  Oradel 
trotting  meeting  on  Decoration  Day.  Actress  has  no  record, 
but  she  has  shown  a  half  in  1:121.  George  H.  Martin  has 
sold  a  number  of  fast  ones  to  the  Europeans,  among  others 
the  bay  mare  Jenny  £.,  2:31,  by  Sweepstakes.  The  largest 
purchase,  however,  was  from  James  X.  Wilson,  of  Union 
City,  Mich.,  who  is  a  well-known  shipper  of  trotters  to  the 
New  York  market.  From  Wilson  the  Austrians  bought 
Bronze,  (2:31|),  by  Red  Bank;  Jenny  King,  (2:32). by  Para- 
gon Mambrioo;  Neddy  B-.  (triai  2:35)  by  Oswego;  Billy  Jones 
(2:41),  by  Wilkesmont,  and  Bergeo  Bell,  (2:32),  besides  eight 

others  without  records.

[June  23,  1894 


A  Good  Day's  Racing  at  San  Jose. 

San  Jose,  June  16. — The  attendance  on  the  initial  day  of 
the  meeting  given  under  the  auspices  of  the  Breeders'  and 
Horsemen's  Association  was  decidedly  slim,  owing  to  threat- 
ening weather  and  hundreds  of  people  misunderstanding  just 
when  the  meeting  was  to  begin.  The  racing  was  worthy  of 
an  attendance  running  up  into  the  thousands,  four  of  the  five 
events  being  closely  contested.  Three  bookmaking  firms  did 
a  good  business,  everything  considered.  The  track  had  not 
been  well  prepared  for  the  gallopers,  the  trotters  having  had 
a  long  inning  over  its  surface.  Two  favorites,  a  4  to  1  chance 
and  two  long  shots  captured  the  events,  and  the  time  made 
throughout  was  exceedingly  good,  showing  that  the  Garden 
City  (rack  is  one  of  the  "  fastest  "  in  the  State-  The  judges 
were  William  Buckley,  James  Rucker  and  Ralph  H.  Tozer; 
timers,  C.  H.  Corey  and  George  Van  Gorden. 

Hal  Fisher  led  at  the  start  in  the  first  race  of  the  day,  but 
was  soon  headed  by  Durango.who  led  by  a  length  passing  the 
half  and  until  nearing  the  three-quarter  pole,  where  Vulcan 
and  Hal  Fisher  closed  on  him, and  the  trio  ran  nose  and  nose 
iot>  the  homestretch.  Here  Durango  fell  back  fast,  as  did 
Hal  Fisher  in  the  final  sixteenth.  King  not  riding  him  with 
any  vim  whatever.  Vulcan,  the  15  to  1  shot,  drew  away  the 
last  part  of  it,  and  won  with  a  link  or  two  to  spare  by  nearly 
two  lengths  in  the  fast  time  of  1:07},  Warrago,  running  up 
strong  at  the  finish,  getting  the  place,  a  length  in  front  of 
North,  the  favorite,  at  2  to  1,  who  beat  Queen  Bee  a  couple 
of  lengths  for  the  show. 

H.  D.  Brown  started  the  thirteen  horses  in  the  above-men- 
tioned race  on  horseback,  the  first  lime  this  English  and 
Australian  method  was  ever  tried  in  America.  While  he 
sent  them  away  nicely  bunched,  it  took  him  longer  than  it 
would  probably  under  his  other  plan,  and  afier  he  had  dis- 
patched three  of  the  fields  while  in  the  saddle  he  returned  to 
the  old  style.  It  was  merely  an  experiment,  and  while  not 
by  any  means  a  failure,  it  did  not  please  him  as  well  as  start- 
ing from  the  box  or  ground. 

Sport  McAllister  and  Niagara  divided  favoritism  in  the 
two-year-old  race  of  five  furlongs,  with  Miss  Buckley  well 
thought  of.  Laurel  was  at  3  to  l,Aroo  5  to  1,  Flirtilla  at  15 
to  1.  Sport  McAllister  kicked  around  and  refused  to  break 
several  times.  Finally  the  flag  fell  to  a  good  start.  McAllis- 
ter gradually  drew  away  from  the  bunch,  and  leading  Flir- 
tilla a  length  at  the  half-pole,  was  nearly  two  lengths  to  the 
good  into  the  homestretch,  Laurel,  Niagara  and  Arno 
bunched,  a  couple  of  lengths  in  front  of  Miss  Buckley  and 
Flirtilla.  Arno  came  through  in  the  final  sixteenth  {where 
Sport  McAllister  swerved  badly),  and  was  a  rather  handy 
winner  by  a  neck,  with  Niagara  second,  about  two  lengths 
from  Sport  McAllister,  third.    Time,  1:02|. 

O'Bee  was  an  odds-on  favorite  in  the  third  race,  five  and 
a  half  furlongs,  with  Patsy  O'Neil  next  in  demand  at  2  to  1. 
Inkerman  led  for  about  100 yards,  where  O'Bee  collared  and 
passed  him,  gradually  drawing  away.  Into  the  homestretch 
he  led  Inkerman  two  lengths,  with  Patsy  O'Neil  at  the  latter's 
heels,  coming  up  fast,  notwithstanding  Hennessy  seemed 
rather  to  be  restraining  the  half-brother  to  Tim  Murphy. 
O'Bee  was  one  of  the  easiest  of  winners,  proving  a  \ictor, 
pulled  up,  by  five  lengths,  Inkerman  second,  one  and  a  half 
lengths  in  front  of  Patsy  O'Neil,  May  Pr'tchard  fourth.  Time, 
1:08. 

In  the  Hotel  Vendome  Handicap, six  and  a  half  furlongs, 
Royal  Flush  was  a  7  to  5  favorite,  Tillie  S.  strongly  backed 
;it  B  to  5.  Kir  Reel  was  at  4  to  1,  Ledalia,  Pescador  and 
Alexis  at  long  odds.  Sir  Reel  led  at  the  start,  with  Alexis 
second  and  Ledalia  third.  Royal  Flush  ran  up  very  fast,  and 
was  second,  but  a  head  behind  Sir  Reel,  the  leader,  passing 
the  half,  with  Ledalia.  oti  a  couple  of  lengths,  third.  It  was 
a  case  of  ding-dong  between  the  leading  pair  well  into  the 
homestretch,  and  the  others  were  bunched  behind  nicely. 
Shouts  went  up  for  both  Royal  Flush  and  Sir  Reel,  and 
I^edalia  loomed  up  dangerous  for  a  moment  also.  About 
eighty  yards  of  the  finish  Coombs  gave  Sir  Reel  several  sting- 
ing "blows  with  his  rib-tickler,  and  the  sturdy  bay  colt  re- 
Hp'inded  so  gamely  that  at  the  end  he  won  by  a  length,  Royal 
Klu-li  second,  one  and  a  half  lengths  from  Ledalia.  Tillie 
S.  was  a  rank  disappointment,  failing  to  appear  in  a  danger- 
ous capacity  in  any  part  of  the  race.  The  time,  1:21  i,  was 
very  fast,  and  Sir  Reel  carried  115  pounds. 

A  mile  selling  race  wound  up  a  good  day's  sport.  Bobolink 
was  an  8  to  5  favorite,  Monita  was  at  4  to  1,  April  6,  Ryland 
7,  t  he  others  from  8  to20tol.  A  grand  start  was  effected, 
and  April  and  Wild  Rose  ran  close  together  passing  the 
oimrter  and  half,  Bobolink  at  their  heels,  running  easily, 
fcvland  close  up.  Bobolink  passed  to  the  forefront  three 
furlongs  from  ihe  finish,  and  Ryland  took  second  place.  The 
pair  struck  the  homestretch  less  than  a  length  apart,  and  it 
looked  Ryland's  race  up  to  the  last  furlong.  Here  his 
weight  began  to  tell,  and  the  Boots'  youngster  drew  away  and 
won  by  over  a  length,  Ryland  second,  two  lengths  in  front  of 
April,  third.  Time,  1:42}.  The  winner  was  run  up  to  $400, 
ihe  owner  retaining  him  at  $405.

Dolma    Baerhtche    Wins   the    Grand    Prix. 


Paris,  June  17. — The  greatest  race  in  the  French  sporting 
world,  the  Grand  Prix  de  Paris,  was  run  to-day  at  Long- 
champs.  It  was  won  by  Dolma  Baghtche,  Matchbox  second 
and  Mansour  third. 

The  full  conditions  were :  Grand  Prix  of  Parts,  $40,000, 
given  by  the  city  of  Paris,  and  $10,000  by  the  five  great  rail- 
way companies,  for  colts  and  fillies  foaled  in  1S91  of  every 
description  and  country,  added  to  a  sweepstakes  of  $200 
each  ;  $120  forfeit  and  $100  only  if  declared  on  the  Wednes- 
day preceding  the  race,  and  $20  only  if  declared  on  the  first 
day  of  May,  1894;  the  second  to  receive  $4,000  and  the  third 
$2,000 out  of  the  stakes;  weights  for  colts  about  123  pounds, 
filliesabout  120  pounds;  about  one  mile  and  seven  furlongs; 
373  subscribers. 

Baron  A.  de  Schickler's  brown  colt  Dolma  Baghtche,  by 
Krakatica,  out  of  Alaska,  was  first ;  Sir  F.  Johnston's  bay 
colt  Matchbox,  by  St.  Simon,  out  of  Matchgirl,  second ; 
Baron  de  Roubeyran's  bay  colt  Mansour,  by  Frontin,  out  of 
Merry  Day,  third.  The  post  odds  were  7  to  4  on  Matchbox, 
11  to  2  against  Dolma  Baghtche  and  20  to  1  against 
Mansour. 

The  colt  Raviolo.  which  is  also  the  property  of  the  owner 
of  the  winner,  and  Matchbox  were  first  away.  They  led 
until  the  stretch  was  reached,  when  Dolma  took  the  place  of 
Raviolo  and  ran  neck  and  neck  home  with  Matchbox,  Dolma 
Baghtche  winning  by  a  head.  Mansour  was  two  lengths  be- 
hind Matchbox. 

The  race  was  witnessed  by  an  immense  crowd,  including  a 
great  number  of  ladies,  who,  for  the  first  time  this  year,  ap- 
peared in  their  summer  toilets.  The  scene  was  a  brilliant  one. 

Among  those  who  witnessed  the  race  were  President  and 
Moie,  Carnot,  who,  when  they  appeared  in  the  grand  stand, 
were  given  an  ovation. 

The  other  starters,  together  with  the  betting  against  them, 
were  :  Gospodar  60  to  1,  Toujours  12  to  1,  Yeronius  30  to  1, 
Lepompon  50  to  1, Raviolo, Yendenneal  and  La  Hire  60  to  1, 
and  Gouveonai  100  to  1.     The  time  was  3:25  3-5. 

Dodge  rode  Dolma  Baghtche,  Cannon  rode  Matchbox  and 
Bridgeland  rode  Mansour. 

Baron  de  Schickler,  owner  of  Dolma  Baghtche,  has  now 
won  the  Grand  Prix  three  times  in  four  years. 


The  Petaluma  Driving  Club  Races. 

The  races  given  by  the  Petaluma  Driving  Club  at  Agricul- 
tural Park  last  Thursday  drew  quite  a  large  crowd  of  specta- 
tors— some  300  or  more,  among  which  the  ladies  numbered 
about  fifty  per  cent. 

The  weather  was  tolerable  and  the  track  good. 

The  first  race  was  a  novel  affair,  open  to  trotters  or  pacers 
owned  and  driven  by  members  of  the  club.  There  were  nine 
starters,  as  follows : 

J.  H.  McNabb's  Dawn  mare,  C.  Carty's  Kick,  F.  Collins' 
sorrel  mare,  A.  Wilson's  Gladys,  M.  Pierre's  Bay  Dawn,  John 
Lawler'6  Lady  L.,  W.  E.  Bowen's  Miss  Knox  and  an  unnamed 
entered  by  Mr.  Ingram.  The  proposition  *as  to  make  the 
mile  in  four  minutes,  or  as  near  as  possible  to  it.  The  horses 
were  started  three  at  a  time,  and  the  mile  was  covered  by  the 
different  ones  as  follows:  John  Lawler,  4:02;  Al  Wilson, 
4:02£  ;  W.  E.  Bowen,  4:04  ;  Collins,  4:05 ;  D.  J.  Healev, 
4:08J;  M.  Pierre,  4:13*;  J.  H.  McNabb,  4:15;  W.  Russ, 
4:15  ;  Mr.  Ingram,  5:00. 

John  Lawler  was  awarded  the  trophy — a  fine  blanket  — 
and  second  and  third  honors  went  to  Al  Wilson  and  W.  E. 
Bowen. 

The  second  race  was  a  roadster's  contest,  open  to  members 
of  the  club,  best  two  in  three,  with  four  starters,  as  follows : 
Healy's  Donis,  Wilson's  Gladys,  McXabb's  Early  Bird, 
Senator  Fair's  Fairmont. 

In  the  first  heat  Fairmont  took  the  lead,  with  Early  Bird 
close  on  her  tracks,and  with  Gladys  and  Donis  trotting  evenly 
several  paces  in  the  rear.  On  the  backstretch  Fairmont  and 
Early  Bird  changed  places  four  times  successively,  Gladys 
and  Donis  giving  the  same  performance  not  so  many  times. 
Fairmont  was  ahead  on  the '.homestretch  but  broke  and  came 
in  behind  Early  Bird,  Donis  and  Gladys  trailing  far  behind. 
Time,  2:46. 

Early  Bird  kept  the  lead  in  the  second  heat  till  the  half 
mile  post  was  reached,  when  Donis  edged  up  from  third  place 
and  went  ahead  for  a  few  seconds.  Gladys  finished  last.Fair- 
mont  third,  Donis  second  and  the  Early  Bird  caught  the 
worm,  which  was  in  the  shape  of  a  buggy  robe,  presented  bv 
the  club.     Time,  2:48. 

There  were  three  starters  in  the  third  race  as  follows: 
Carty's  Nick,  O'Reilly's  Killarney  and  Ingram's  Trifle. 

Nick  won  the  two  heats,  Trifle  finishing  second  and  Kil- 
larney third  each  time.  Time  of  first  heat,  2:55  ;  second, 
2:48. 

Dr.  Maclay  and  Dr.  Proctor  were  the  judges  of  the  races.

The  Sweetwater  Track,  San  Diego. 

A  project  of  liberal  support  has  been  proposed  by  C.  C. 
Seaman.  If  carried  out  it  will  be  the  means  of  doing  San 
Diego  good  in  different  ways.  Mr.  Seaman  proposes,  if  he 
cansecure  the  support  of  the  community  sufficiently,  to  lease 
the  Sweetwater  track.  He  has  already  conferred  with  the 
directors  of  the  association  and  they  have  agreed  upon  satis- 
factory terms.  His  idea  is  to  form  a  club.  The  association 
has  agreed  to  put  up  a  building  on  the  grounds  to  be  used  as  a 
club  house.  Members  are  to  have  free  use  of  the  track  and 
free  admissions  to  entertainments. 

By  agreement  with  the  association  Mr.  Seaman  is  to  keep 
the  track  in  good  condition  ;  to  have  from  time  to  time  at- 
tractive sports,  and  to  make  the  grounds  at  all  times  a  pleas- 
ure resort  for  strangers  as  well  as  home  people.  Another 
very  strong  feature  of  the  project  is  that  he  will  invite  corre- 
spondence with  all  the  prominent  horse  owners  and  stock 
farms  throughout  the  country  and  lay  before  them  the  ad- 
vantages of  our  climate  for  wintering  their  horses.  He  pro- 
poses to  do  that  thoroughly.  Being  well  known  through  his 
ownership  at  one  time  of  the  great  colt  Bell  Boy,  an  opinion 
on  such  a  subject  coming  from  him  will  carry  weight  with  it  ' 
and  interest  them.  It  may  not  only  bring  a  number  here, 
but  the  advertising  in  all  parts  of  the  country  among  a  class 
of  people  who  at  this  season  are  constantly  moving  from  one 
section  to  another  must  bring  to  their  minds  a  subject  in 
which  they  are  deeply  interested,  It  will  be  freely  discussed 
at  their  meetings  and  San  Diego,  its  climate  and  its  advan- 
tages, being  talked  everywhere,  cannot  help  but  result  in  good 
to  us. 

The  track  will  be  kept  in  such  a  manner  as  to  invite  men 
with  their  families  to  visit  it,  and  tourists  would  seek  it  as  a 
means  of  entertaining  themselves,  and  the  whole  community 
would  regard  it  as  a  suitable  pleasure  resort. — San  Diego

If  you  are  a  lover  of  tue  trotter  and  pacer  you  can  do  no 
better  than  take  a  day  off  and  take  a  run  up  to  Poughkeepsie. 
You  will  surely  be  paid  for  your  trouble.  You  will  find  such 
gentlemen  up  there  as  D.  B.  Herrington,  John  A.  Goldsmith, 
W.  C.  Trimble,  W.H.Snyder  and  Mr.  Schults,  Mr.  Howell 
ana  others  out  in  full  force.  They  are  moving  glib  when 
they  get  a  chance,  but  the  weather  has  been  something  fear- 
ful the  past  fourteen  days,  but  still  they  are  moving  along 
down  about  2:20  in  fine  shape.  The  favorite  Wilkeses  are 
coming  in  grand  style,  and  they  will  drop  them  in  the  2:30 
list  this  season  as  usual.  Herrington  up  behind  Hibibi  (2:16) 
and  Frank  Howell  behind  Ranger  did  a  very  pretty  mile  in 
2:20  together  without  a  skip,  and  the  way  the  Quartermasters 
are  going  will  convince  you  they  are  trotters.  Trimble  has 
Cobwebs  and  S.  J.  (2:16)  in  fine  shape.  Nominator,  from  the 
hoTie  of  Quartermaster,  is  moving  very  nicely. 

Schults  has  a  fine  stable  of  green  ones,  but  the  handsome 
sister  to  Flying  Jib  (2:04)  is  my  pick  of  the  stable.  I  said 
last  year  about  this  time  that  Goldsmith  did  not  have  a  horse 
in  his  stable  but  what  could  cut  his  or  her  mark  down,  and  I 
safely  say  the  same  thing  this  year.  Ora  Wilkes  (2:15),  the 
little  black  son  of  the  only  Guy  Wilkes  (2:15}),  will  go  away 
down  this  season,  and  you  all  remember  and  know  that.  He 
is  a  race  horse,  but  the  handsomest-gaited  animal  I  ever  saw 
is  that  pacer  Rubin  (2:20).  He  is  just  as  fast  as  any  in  the 
stable  and  none  purer  gaited.  He  can  any  day  show  you  a 
quarter  in  thirty-one  or  thirty-two  seconds,  but  it  is  very 
hard  for  him  to  go  to  the  turns,  and  when  he  breaks  that  set- 
tles it.  As  near  a  walk  as  can  be  and  not  walking  brings  him 
to  a  trot  again. 

Mary  Best  has  shown  a  half  in  1:04  and  a  quarter  in  thirty 
seconds,  and  all  I  can  say  is  to  just  keep  your  weather  eve  on 
her,  and,  in  fact,  the  whole  stable.  Its  equal  can't  be  found 
to-day  on  the  trotting  turf. — Mack  in  Horse  Breeder. 


Racing  at  Vallejo  on  the  Fourth. 

A  series  of  races  will  take  place  on  the  Fourth  of  July  at 
the  race  track  between  horses  from  Benicia  and  Vallejo. 
Much  interest  is  being  manifested,  as  the  horses  are  said  to 
be  very  evenly  matched.  Some  of  them  have  trotted  against 
each  other  before,  which  will  make  the  racing  all  the  more 
interesting.  The  track  is  in  excellent  condition,  and  the 
horses  are  being  put  in  good  order  for  the  event.  Followine 
are  the  horses  that  will  trot : 

Benicia — M.  Smith's  Kitty  S.,  Chisholm's  Hard  Times, 
J.  Hoyt's  Como,  J.  Edge's  Delia  H.

George  Locke,  a  horseman  at  the  Petaluma  race  track 
in  th«  employ  of  Isidore  De  Turk,  has  invented  a  set  of  total 
blinds,  to  be  attached  to  a  racing  harness.  A  patent  has  been 
applied  for.  The  contrivance  is  made  of  sheepskin  and  is  in- 
tended to  keep  all  light  from  the  horse's  eyes  and  by  doing 
so  concentrate  all  his  eflorts  on  making  good  speed.  The  in- 
vention has  been  thoroughly  experimented  with  upon  Maun 
Fowler,  a  mare  belonging  to  Mr.  De  Turk,  heretofore  having 
no  special  capabilities  in  the  way  of  speed.  With  the  "dead 
blind,"  as  the  maker  calls  it,  she  trots  in  2:23,  whereat 
Messrs.  De  Turk  and  Locke  are  greatly  pleased.  The  latter 
expects  to  push  his  invention  through  the  patent  office  and 
introduce  it  among  owners  of  horses.

Raciner  at  Denver. 

Desveb,  June  9. — The  trotting  meeting  at  Overland  Park, 
Denver,  the  first  of  the  year  on  the  order  of  the  big  meetings 
was  begun  to  day.  The  track  was  fast  and  2,500  persons  were 
in  attendance. 

The  feature  of  the  day  was  the  race  for  2:20  class  pacers. 
Ringrose  was  a  hoi  favorite,  selliog  at  7  to  -5  against  long  odds 
on  others,  but  she  was  distanced  in  the  second  heat. 

Our  Nora  won  the  first  heat  and  reduced  her  record  from 
2:2 1 1  to  2:18.  Then  Chandler  cut  loose  the  Nebraska  pacer 
Barondale,  and  the  issue  was  not  again  in  doubt,  as  he  reeled 
off  the  second  heat  in  2:17|,  reducing  his  previous  record 
nearly  10  seconds.  The  winner  is  a  royally-bred  horse,  being 
by  Baron  Wilkes,  2:13,  dam  by  Nutwood,  2:18$. 

The  Eastern  contingent  secured  a  victory  in  the  first  event, 
the  2:23  trot,  which  was  won  in  straight  heats  by  the  Wichita, 
Kan.,  horse,  Myron  McHenry,  full  brother  to  the  fast  pacer 
John  R.  Gentry,  2:13.  He  took  his  first  record  below  2:20 
to-day,  trotting  the  second  and  third  heats  each  in  2:19A. 
Lady  M.  looked  all  over  a  winner  in  the  second  event,  bat 
after  winning  two  heats  in  such  cracking  time  as  2:21  and 
2:18|  she  went  to  pieces  and  the  Pueblo  gelding  Troublesome 
carried  off  the  money  in  much  slower  time.  It  was  the  lat- 
ter, however,  that  forced  the  mare  out  the  first  two  heats,  and 
he  looks  good  for  2:15  any  day.  John  Kslly  had  his  first 
mount  of  the  year  behind  the  sweet  little  Superior  mare, 
Jenuie  McCoy,  but  the  best  he  could  do  was  to  land  her  third 
in  the  final  heat,  won  by  Barondale  io  2:19.  None  of  the 
Salisbury  stable  were  entered  io  the  events  of  the  first  day.

SECOND  DAY. 

Denver,  Juoe  11. — The  second  day  of  the  Overland  Park 
meeting  was  a  pronounced  success.  The  attendance  was  bet- 
ter than  on  the  opening  day,  and  the  time  in  evary  race  was 
of  the  sensational  order.  In  the  first  event  the  old  trottiDg 
stallion,  Pilot  Knox,  now  nineteen  years  old,  and  whose 
record  of  2:19|  trotting  was  made  in  1885,  and  that  has  been 
converted  to  pacing,  defeated  a  big  field  of  good  horses  and 
took  a  record  of  2:201.  There  is  no  question  that  he  will  go 
much  below  his  record  at  the  other  gait.  Pearl,  a  bay  mare 
owned  by  S.  D  Kingsley,  of  this  city,  won  the  first  heat  and 
a  record  of  2:19],  but  was  beaten  out  in  the  succeeding  heats 
by  the  old  Maine  horse  in  close  finishes. 

Monroe  Salisbury  lauded  the  money  in  both  the  colt  events. 
In  the  three-year-old  trot  he  gave  Expressive  her  first  record 
of  2:25$.  She  adds  another  to  Electioneers  long  roll  of 
honor.  Lady  R.,  by  Glenelg,  that  won  the  first  heat  in  2:25}, 
is  also  a  new  comer. 

The  two  year-old  pacers  furnished  the  great  race  of  the 
day.  John  Kelly  drove  Du  Bois'  colt  Carbonate  in  2:191  the 
first  heat,  but  the  roan  acted  badly  and  barely  escaped  the 
flag  the  second  heat,  which  went  to  the  Pleasinton  colt,  Di- 
rectly, in  2:24V-  The  Denver  colt  was  in  the  fight  again  in 
the  third  heat,  but  could  only  force  the  Salisbury  pacer  out 
in  2:26}.  Carbonate  and  Directly  are  a  pair  of  wonderful 
youngsters,  and  as  both  are  entered  largely  in  Eastern  Stakes, 
they  will  probablv  have  many  a  battle  royal  before  the  season 
ends.

THIRD   DAY. 

Denver,  June  12. — The  third  day  of  the  meet  at  Overland 
Park  was  above  the  average  io  the  quality  of  fields  of  trotters 
and  pacers  contesting.  The  average  time  of  the  eleven  heaU, 
necessary  to  settle  the  thres  events  on  the  card,  was  below 
2:20.  In  tbe  2:15  pace,  after  the  California  mare  Jingler  had 
taken  a  heat,  and  a  second  heat  had  been  placed  to  Onr  Xora, 
the  Texas  pacer,  Nannie  E.,  owned  by  the  Hill  Slock  Farm 
Company,  was  brought  to  the  front  and  won  with  somethiDg 
to  spare  from  the  former  yearling  champion,  Belle  Acton. 
The  latter  filly  is  showing  any  amount  of  speed  this  year,  and 


her  driver,  Chandler,  believes  she  will  be  in  the  first  flight  of 
three-year-olds  before  the  season  closes.  Kose,  the  winner  of 
the  2:25  class,  that  raced  in  three  heats  at  an  average  of  2:19, 
is  a  seven-year-old  Colorado-bred  mare.  Her  sire  combines 
the  blood  of  Bashaw  50  and  Blue  Bull,  while  her  dam  is  by 
Happy  Medium.  She  is  owned  by  the  Eclipse  Livery  Com- 
pany, Pueblo,  Colo.  She  reduced  her  record  !o-day  from 
2:25  to  2:1S,,  and  will  do  to  watch. 

Lady  W.,  the  Weisbaden  mare  owned  by  T.  C.  Williams, 
Greely,  Colo.,  that  won  two  heats  and  a  record  of  2:18|  in 
her  race  Saturday,  was  a  hot  favorite  in  tbe  2:40  class.  She 
had  a  much  different  class  to  contend  with,  and  won  without 
being  extended.

FOPBTH    DAT. 

Denver,  June  13. — Kansas  and  Nebraska  swept  the  boards 
at  the  Overland  Park  meeting  to-day,  two  of  the  winners 
bailing  from  the  Sunflower  State  and  one  from  the  latter.  H. 
G.  Toler's  chestnut  horse,  Myron  McHenry,  named  after  the 
"  Man  from  Freeport,"showed  the  way  to  the  wire  in  straight 
heats  in  the  2:17  class.  Each  of  his  competitors  took  a  crack 
at  him,  and  each  in  turn  forced  him  to  a  faster  clip,  but  the 
Ashland  Wilkes  horse  was  game,  and  his  third  mile  in  2:18], 
anew  record  for  him,  is  still  much  within  his  limit. 

The  youngsters  occupied  the  rest  of  the  card.  Gen.  Arthur, 
the  winner  of  the  two-year-old  event,  is  owned  by  K.  I.  Lee, 
of  Topeka,  Kan.  The  yearlings  were  an  especially  strong 
lot,  and  it  took  four  half-mile  heats  to  settle  the  race,  strange 
to  say,  each  in  faster  time  than  the  preceding  heat.

FIFTH  DAY. 

DiSSVER,  Juoe  14. — But  t.vo  events  were  on  the  card 
to-day  and  both  were  decided  in  straight  heats.  In  the  3:00 
class  for  trotters  Troublesome  was  a  top-heavy  favorite  by 
virtue  of  his  performance  last  Saturday,  when  be  forced  L^dy 
W.  out  in  2:1 8|,  and  then  won  his  race  with  a  record  of  2:23 
His  chief  competitor  to-day  was  the  Omaha  mare,  Xellie 
Cobb,  but  the  best  she  could  d  >  was  to  force  the  chestnut  son 
of  Thorndyke  out  in  2:27  tbe  third  heat. 

Harry  Victor,  the  winner  of  the  2:30  class  f*»r  pacers,  was 
bred  by  the  late  F.  D.  Clark,  of  Chicago,  and  the  way  he 
went  the  route  to-dav  in  2:20  shows  that  he  has  no  lack  of 
speed.  He  is  a  black  four-year-old,  sired  by  Black  Victor, 
dam  by  Hambletonian  Prince.  The  old  timer  Pilot  Knox 
was  well  backed  to  win,  but  was  practically  not  in  the  race 
in  any  beat.

SIXTH   DAY. 

Denver,  June  15. — This  was  to  have  been  the  biggest  day 
of  the  week  at  Overland  Park,  but  the  racing  was  cut  short 
by  rain.  Major  Van  Home  made  the  day  a  special  holiday, 
and  when  tbe  first  event-was  called, the  grand  stand,  quarter- 
stretch  and  spacious  clubhouse  were  all  crowded  to  an  un- 
comfortable degree.  The  Greeley  mare,  Lady  \V.,  that  won 
her  first  race  in  the  2:40  class  on  Tuesday,  taking  a  record  of 
2:23,  had  a  better  class  of  competitors  to-day  in  the  2:27  class, 
but  she  stepped  away  from  them  easily  and  finished  strong  in 
2:23  in  the  only  heat  trotted. 

The  great  event  of  the  day  was  the  free-for-all  pace,  and 
never  before  has  such  a  bunch  of  great  horses  appeared  be- 
fore a  Denver  meeting.  Of  course  Flying  Jib,  whose  record 
of  2:04  makes  him  the  champion,  was  prime  favorite,  but  the 
electrical  finishes  of  Du  Bois  Bros.'   W.  W.  P.  were  hot  for- 


gotten, and  the  fact  that  he  had  worked  a  mile  in  2:11]  re- 
cently, while  the  Jib  had  had  little  or  no  hard  work,  gave  the 
chestnut  gelding  a  considerable  backing. 

During  the  first  heat  of  the  trot  black  clouds  and  forked 
lightning  had  been  gradually  sailing  in  from  the  mountains, 
and  just  as  the  pacers  were  given  the  word  hail  began  to  fall. 
DuriDg  the  entire  mile.  Flying  Jib  and  the  other  horses  were 
pelted  bv  the  stinging  hailstones,  but  without  a  break  the 
champion  led  the  way  to  the  wire  in  the  remarkable  time  of 
2:11  i.  "At  the  finis',  the  track  was  fairly  white.  Online,  the 
Nebraska,  two-year-old  champion,  now  in  his  four-year-old 
form,  was  a  good  second,  and  W.  W.  P.  not  far  back.  The 
shower  which  followed  the  fill  of  hiil  made  the  track  too 
slippery  for  safety,  and  the  races  were  postponed  till  to- 
morrow.

Denver  Notes. 

The  best  two-year-old  colt  developed  at  the  Denver  meet- 
ing this  week  is  theyouog  pacer  Carbonate,  by  Superior,  out 
of  the  dam  of  Beulah.  Carbonate  is  very  promising  and  took 
a  heat  handily  in  2:19].  We  do  not  know  of  any  Colorado- 
bred  two-year-old  that  ever  traveled  so  fast. 

A  new  class  of  2:48  trotting  was  made  specially  for  three 
California  fillies — Expressive,  by  Electioneer,  Lady  R.,  by 
Glenelg,  and  Antrima,  by  Antrim.  The  event  occurred  on 
Monday  and  was  won  by  the  Electioneer  filly,  although  the 
first  he3t  went  to  the  Glenelg  filly  in  2:25k  Expressive's 
best  beat  was  turned  in2:25:f. 

The  old  trotting  horse  Pilot  Knox  by  Black  Pilot,  dam  by 
General  Knox,  winner  of  a  Mystic  Park  $10,000  stallion 
stake  at  trotting,  in  which  he  was  marked  at  2:191,  is  now 
pacing  at  the  Overland  and  won  the  three-minute  pace  on 
Monday,  going  the  third  mile  in  2:20£.  Mr.  Bemis  thinks 
Pilot  is  good  for  2:16  before  the  season  closes. 

The  effort  of  the  DuBois  brothers  to  give  the  people  of 
Denver  a  decent  race  meeting  has  been  duly  acknowledged 
by  the  success  which  has  attended  the  attractions  at  the 
Overland  this  week.  It  was  by  all  odds  the  best  meeting  ever 
given  in  Denver.  The  remarkable  feature  of  the  meeting  is 
the  great  number  of  new  comers  to  the  2:20  list  of  both  trot- 
ters ind  pacers  and  the  fortunate  horses  are  mostly  young 
things,  while  not  a  few  are  of  scarcely  no  pedigrees.  The 
success  is  very  assuring,  especially  just  now  when  the  horse 
industry  needs  the  stimulating  influences  of  track  victories. 

Lady  W.  is  a  Weld  county  mare  owned  by  T.  C.  Williams 
of  Greeley.  As  we  remember  her  she  is  by  Weisbaden,  out 
of  an  every-day  sort  of  mare.  Weisbaden  is  by  Belmont,  out 
of  that  great  producer  Woodbine,  dam  of  \Yedgewood,  2:19, 
and  Woodford  Mambrino,  2:21  J.  Her  distinction  lies  in  the 
fact  that  with  but  little  training  she  went  out  the  other  day 
in  a  race  and  trotted  io  2:18}.  It  seems  wrong  to  have  driven 
her  to  this  mark  so  early  in  the  season,  as  it  will  bar  her 
from  slower  classes  to  which  she  might  have  been  entered 
had  Anthony  taken  her  East  as  is  now  quite  likely. 

One  of  the  new  pacers  to  come  into  the  list  this  spring  is 
the  Colorado  bred  mare  Pearl,  six  years  old.  She  is  owned 
by  Budd  Miller,  and  was  bred  at  the  Miller  ranch  on  Run- 
ning creek  in  Douglas  county.  In  a  field  of  good  ones  at 
the  Overland  she  paced  her  mile  in  2:19},  doing  the  turn  in 
the  first  heat  of  the  three-minute  class.  This  is  a  great  per- 
formance for  a  plebian  mare.  Bis  sire  was  a  horse  called 
Pomeroy,  by  Revenue  Junior,  and  her  dam  was  a  saddle 
mare  from  Missouri — a  lady  that  was  very  fast  at  the  pace, 
but  having  no  breeding  worth  mentioning.  With  a  thorough- 
bred top  and  a  mixed  bottom  for  pedigree,  Pearl  is  a  very 
game  mare  to  go  out  and  distance  the  California  favorite 
Rokeby,  by  Director,  in  the  first  whirl  out  of  tbe  box. 

Our  Nora  is  one  of  the  sage-brush  mares  that  took  a  new 
pacing  mark  of  2:18  at  the  Overland  last  Saturday.  In  the 
first  heat  of  the  2:20  pace  Camp  drove  her  out  eight  or  ten 
lengths  ahead  of  the  field,  all  of  which  had  hard  work  fight- 
ing the  flag.  Our  Nora  is  owned  bv  the  Sherman  boys  of 
Leadville,  and  was  bred  on  the  Muddy  in  the  Middle  Park 
by  the  late  Dave  Trascott.  She  was  sired  by  tbe  non-standard 
Almosa,  by  Almo,  dam  the  Coberley  mare  from  California, 
no  pedigree.  Up  to  the  age  of  six  Oar  Xora  associated  with 
tbe  jack-rabbits,  and  had  never  tasted  hay  nor  smelled  oats. 
Then  she  was  taken  to  Leadville  and  served  time  for  a  year 
hitched  to  a  milk  wagon.  One  day  her  mate  ran  away  and 
then  it  was  seen  that  the  old  girl  could  pace  some.  She  was 
worked,  got  into  a  local  race,  !ost  a  wad  of  money  for  the 
boys,  was  sent  down  to  Greeley  and  trained  by  the  Camps, 
returned  to  Leadville,  got  into  the  same  company  again  and 
won  back  all  the  money.  Then  she  went  to  Texas,  where 
she  was  shut  out  at  Dallas  last  fall,  but  in  another  event  took 
a  mark  of  2-21 3-  She  has  been  at  Greeley  all  winter,  and 
was  enabled  to  go  the  mile  in  2:18  at  the  Overland. — Field 
and  Farm.

The  American  Derby  of  1894. 

To-day  the  eleventh  American  Derby  is  to  be  run,  and 
the  world  of  race  home  lovers  is  agog  over  the  event 
which  is  to  settle  the  long-talked  of  question  of  supe- 
riority of  Domino  and  Senator  Orady.  And  there  are 
others  booked  to  start  in  every  way  worthy  of  the  steel 
of  the  illustrious  pair  ol  colts  first  named.  California  is 
well  represented  with  Dorian,  Key  el  Santa  Anita  and 
Lucky  Dog,  and  to  the  former  our  eyes  shall  turn  if 
victory  is  to  perch  on  the  I  (olden  State's  banner.  Domino 
has  yet  to  know  defeat,  and  he  has  won  a  larger  amount 
in  stakes  and  purees  than  any  horse  that  ever  lived,  con- 
sidering his  age.  This  season  ho  started  out  by  winning 
the  rich  Withers  Stakes,  one  mile,  beating  the  game  and 
speedy  Henry  of  Navarre  a  head  in  1:10,  each  carrying 
122  pounds.  When  another  half  mile  is  addt d,  how. 
ever,  it  is  in  likely  that  the  famous  Keene  colt  will 
relish  the  nun,  His  sire,  Himyar,  it  will  be  remem- 
bered by  old  race-goers,  was  once  a   mighty  favorite    for 


a  Kentucky  Derby — then  the  event  of  events  in  Amer- 
ica. A  rank  outsider  (Day  Star),  however,  won  the  race, 
and  thousands  of  dollars  wentglimmeringon  the  chances 
of  Himyar.  This  horse  was  a  sensational  performer. 
Not  a  great  deal  of  dependence  could,  however,  be  placed 
upon  him.  He  ran  mile  heats  in  1:42J,  1:43}  and  a  mile 
and  an  eighth  in  l:54f  and  1:55) — considered  wonder- 
ful in  those  days.  When  it  came  to  going  over  a  mile 
and  an  eighth,  however,  he  might  or  might  not  win, 
though  he  was  successful  atone  and  three-quarters  and 
two  miles.  The  Alarm  family  has  rather  been  noted  for 
its  speed  than  its  staying  qualities.  It  was  Alarm,  sire 
of  Himyar,  that  first  made  the  circuit  of  a  mile  track  in 
this  country  with  his  entitled  weight  up  in  1:42J,  while 
Himyar's  grandam,  Hegira,  had  the  record  for  her  gen- 
eration at  two  miles  (3:34}),  made  at  New  Orleans  in 
1850.  Flight,  the  third  dam  of  Himyar,  was  a  grand 
r  tea  mare  and  thraw  Oliver,  perhaps  the  best  son  of 
Wagner,  and  Oliver  was  a  winner  at  three-mile  heats  in 
5:3 S', ,  5:38}.  On  the  dam's  side  of  the  house  Domino 
is  intensely  inbred  to  Reel,  a  very  famous  race  mare 
of  early  '50's  and  a  mother  of  race  horses  seldom  rivalled 
in  any  country.  Will  this  inbreediDg  hurt  Domino  in 
going  such  a  long  journey  ?  That  is  the  question.  True, 
he  has  been  equal  to  all  his  owners  have  asked  of  him 
thus  far,  but  close  students  of  the  breeding  problem  will 
tell  you  that  "  stayers  "  are  not  often  inbred  to  any  great 
extent.  Fred  Taral  will  get  everything  possible  out  of 
the  black  colt,  that  his  friends  can  rest  assured  of. 

Senator  Grady,  whose  record  is  a  brilliant  one,  comes 
from  a  family  that  has  generally  liked  the  longer  dis- 
tances, though  not  all  the  get  of  Iroquois  have  shown  a 
preference  for  races  at  the  longer  distances.  His  sire  was 
winner  of  the  Epsom  Derby  and  Doncaster  St.  Leger, 
among  other  stake  victories  in  England;  in  fact,  he  ac- 
complished a  feat  only  done  twelve  times  in  114  years, 
that  of  winning  both  the  Derby  and  St.  Leger.  Iro- 
quois was  by  imp.  Leamington,  the  greatest  sire  ever 
sent  us  from  the  land  of  John  Bull.  Leamington  was 
himself  a  famous  racehorse,  winner  of  the  Goodwood 
Stakes,  Cheater  Cup.  Woodcote  Stakes,  Chesterfield 
Stakes  and  Stewards'  Cup  at  Shrewsbury.  In  the  Ches- 
ter Cup,  two  and  a  quarter  miles,  he  beat  a  field  of  eigh- 
teen horses,  including  the  celebrities,  Fisherman  and 
Prioress.  Brought  to  this  country,  Leamington  sired 
Longfellow,  Enquirer,  Lyttleton,  Reform,  Hyder  Ali, 
Parole,  Aristides,  Susquehanna,  Onondaga,  Girofle, 
Spinaway  and  Iroquois,  among  other  renowned  racers, 
and  for  years  held  the  stallion  crown  in  this  land  of  his 
adoption.  Leamington's  grandson,  Senator  Grady, 
started  seven  times  as  a  two-year-old,  and  lost  only  on 
the  first  occasion,  beating  the  best  youngsters  sent  against 
him.  Domino  and  Grady  have  never  measured  strides, 
and^columns  have  been  written  regarding  their  respec- 
tive merits.  Senator  Grady's  dam  is  Satinet,  by  imp. 
Bonnie  Scotland,  and  no  stronger  nor  more  highly-prized 
cross  can  be  found  in  the  stud  book.  For  three  years 
Bonnie  Scotland  headed  the  list  of  "  winning  stallions." 
The  second  dam  of  Senator  Grady  was  Sadowa,  by  Jack 
Malone,  and  the  latter  was  by  Lexington  from  an  Amer- 
ican Eclipse  mare,  and  besides  a  brother  to  Pat  Malloy. 
All  this  is  "  staying  blood,"  and  therefore  if  this  colt  of 
Marcus  Daly's  cannot  negotiate  a  Derby  distance  it  will 
be  very  odd.  In  addition  to  this,  Matt  Byrnes,  trainer 
of  the  colt,  is  celebrated  for  conditioning  horses  for  any 
certain  event  better  than  any  man  in  the  world  almost. 
The  colt  has  not  been  sent  to  the  post  this  season,  and 
we  shall  expect  Grady  to  be  "trained  to  the  hour."  Byrnes' 
work  of  this  description  with  Salvator,  Firenzi  and  Tam- 
many is  well  remembered  by  all  those  that  pay  attention 
to  racing  in  the  far  East.  Garrison  will  pilot  the  chest- 
nut pride  of  the  copper  king  of  Montana. 

Hornpipe,  of  the  Keene  stable,  will  prohably  act  as 
pacemaker  for  Domino,  and  his  recent  defeats  would 
seem  to  indicate  that  he  can  not  hope  for  better  than 
third  place.     Hamilton  rides  him. 

Dorian's  recent  defeat  of  the  crack  Sir  Walter  and 
Sport  at  a  mile  and  a  half,  and  his  run  of  one  and  an 
eighth  miles  in  1:54)  over  a  slushy  track,  makes  him  a 
dangerous  element  in  the  race  for  America's  richest 
three-year-old  prize.  He  will  have  the  clever  Marty 
Bergen  for  a  rider,  and  the  Califqrnian  is  bred  to  run  the 
race  from  "  eend  to  eend,"  being  by  imp.  Sir  Modred  (a 
Cup  horse),  dam  Glendora,  by  imp.  Glenelg ;  second 
dam  Susie  Linwood,  by  Judge  Leonard  (son  of  Zero  and 
Betsey  Moore) ;  third  dam  Miss  Doyle,  by  Lexington, 
etc.  The  brothers,  Sir  Modred,  Cheviot  and  July,  were 
all  "  stayers  "  in  the  land  of  their  nativity,  New  Zealand, 
and  Sir  Modred's  sons  from  strongly-bred  mares  can 
"go  the  route,"  and  no  mistake.  Tournament,  Comanche 
and  Dorian,  among  others,  prove  this  assertion.     Dorian 


was  only  a  fair  two-year-old,  winning  two  races  out  of 
fifteen  starts  and  being  on  five  occasions  third.  This 
season  he  has  swept  everything  before  him,  and  it  can  be 
relied  upon  that  this  colt,  that  first  saw  the  light  at 
Rancho  del  Paso,  will  render  a  good  account  of  himself 
on  Saturday. 

Lucky  Dog  and  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  seem  to  like  a 
less  distance  than  a  mile  and  a  quarter  even,  their  runs 
this  season  would  indicate,  so  that  we  shall  be  surprised 
if  the  former  at  any  rate  cuts  much  of  a  figure  in  the 
last  part  of  the  race.  Rey  El  Sapta  Anita  won  the  rich 
Latonia  Prize  last  Tuesday  and  is  not  entirely  out  of  the 
Derby. 

Matt  Byrnes,  the  high-priced  gigantic  English  colt  by 
Hampton  from  Cherry,  has  not  faced  the  flagman  this 
season,  and  as  a  two-year-old  started  but  twice.  At  the 
first  essay  he  was  second  to  Lucky  Dog  over  a  heavy 
track,  five  and  one-half  furlongs  in  1:09},  and  at  the 
next  attempt  was  fifth  in  a  race  won  by  Senator  Grady, 
with  Hornpipe  second  and  Henry  of  Navarre  third.  He 
is  trained  by  his  namesake  and  will  be  ridden  by  Midge- 
l6y.  [He  has  since  gone  lame  and  been  scratched.] 
Prince  Carl,  a  strongly-tipped  colt  from  "  Plunger " 
Chris  Smith's  stable,  by  Springbok,  from  Longbow,  by 
Reform  or  imp.  Midlothian,  ran  very  consistently  as  a 
two-year-old,  out  of  eight  starts  winning  once  and  being 
placed  on  five  occasions.  His  win  was  at  five  and  a 
half  furlongs,  and  he  carried  but  100  pounds.  He  can- 
not, on  his  performances  last  season,  be  considered  as 
dangerous. 

Resplendant  is  an  unknown  quantity. 

Despot  is  not.  If  there  is  a  colt  in  "  the  West  "  supe- 
rior to  this  brown  son  of  Judge  Murray  and  Spinster,  by 
Springbok,  this  season,  he  has  not  developed,  though 
Lazzarone's  friends  will  claim  he  is  better,  perhaps.  He 
has  won  race  after  race  recently  for  the  Master  of  Haw- 
thorne, and  the  other  day  was  held  in  reserve  in  the  rich 
Chicago  Derby,  in  case  his  stable  companion,  Vassal, 
should  tire.  Despot  can  in  no  wise  be  counted  out, 
therefore,  in  figuring  on  the  outcome  of  the  great  Amer- 
ican classic. 

Taking  breeding  and  records  into  consideration,  also 
the  ability  of  the  various  trainers  of  the  horses  mentioned , 
together  with  the  skillful  knights  of  the  pigskin  that 
will  pilot  them,  and  we  settle  on  Senator  Grady  as  a  win- 
ner, with  Dorian  in  the  place,  while  Domino  and  Despot 
should  fight  for  the  show.  We  hope  for  the  success  of 
a  Californian  and  would  also  much  dislike  to  see  the 
crown  of  glory  wrested  from  Domino's  brow,  but  all  can- 
not go  on  winning  forever. 


Sin  Jose's  Running  Meeting. 


Oo.  account  of  the  large  number  of  men  with  sporting 
blood  in  their  veins  called  away  to  the  Republican  State 
Convention  from  the  Garden  City,  San  Francisco  and 
way  points  it  was  deemed  advisable  one  week  ago  Friday 
to  postpone  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  meeting  until 
to-day,  Saturday,  June  23d.  Now  the  affair,  which 
promises  to  be  a  glorious  one,  has  been  properly  adver- 
tised and  put  before  the  people  of  this  section  for  their 
consideration.  The  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Associa- 
tion, as  its  names  implies,  is  an  organization  formed  of 
breeders  and  horsemen  (about  one  month  ago),  and  in  its 
ranks  are  some  of  the  best  men  in  the  Golden  State. 
They  gave  a  meeting  lasting  ten  days  at  San  Francisco, 
and  it  was  in  every  respect  a  success.  The  members  be- 
lieved that  racing  could  be  given  outside  the  metropolis 
that  would  merit  the  patronage  of  every  lover  of  a  good 
race  horse  and  well-wisher  of  the  running  turf,  and  it 
looks  now  as  if  they  were  correct  in  their  belief. 

Every  stall  at  the  splendid  Agricultural  Park  is  filled 
with  horses  that  have  come  to  San  Jose  to  compete  for 
the  purses  offered,  and  the  business  men  of  the  Garden 
City  have  responded  nobly  to  the  call  for  financial  sup- 
port for  the  enterprise.  H.  D.  Brown,  who  has  been  so 
phenomenally  successful  at  flag-wielding,  will  act  as 
starter,  and  perfect  fairness  in  all  regards  is  guaranteed. 
The  best  horses  on  the  coast  will  participate,  and  if  the 
meeting  is  not  a  financial  as  well  as  an  artistic  success 
it  will  be  very  strange.  The  "dates  set  are  :  Saturday, 
June  23d;  Tuesday,  June  26th;  Wednesday,  27th; 
Thursday,  28th  ;  Friday,  29th,  and  Saturday  30th.  By 
your  presence  foster  the  great  breeding  and  racing  inter- 
ests of  California. 


Horsemen  should  remember  there  are  splendid  op- 
portunities offered  them  by  the  P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Associa- 
tion and  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association  to  enter  their 
trotters  and  pacers  for  the  Old  Times  Stake  races  to  be 
given  at  their  meetings.  The  advertisemen  ts  of  these 
great  events  appear  in  our  advertising  columns,  and  as 
entries  close  July  2d  there  is  no  time  to  lose.

The  Palo  Alto  Sale. 


The  sale  of  Palo  Alto  trotting  stallions,  colts,fillies  and 
roadster  geldings  next  Wednesday,  June  27th,  is  the  ab- 
sorbing topic  of  conversation  among  horseineu.  The 
excellence  of  the  stock  offered  and  the  fact  that  all  the 
animals  sold  at  the  last  sale  have  given  great  satisfaction 
to  their  owners  are  strong  inducements  to  draw  a  large 
gathering  of  buyers. 

Opportunities  to  get  such  handsome,  well-formed, 
highly-bred  trotters  are  few  and  far  between,  and  this, 
the  last  of  the  spring  and  summer  sales,  is  one  that  no 
lover  of  good  horses  should  neglect.  Catalogues  have 
been  sent  to  applicants  all  over  the  coast.  The  sale 
will  commence  at  ten  o'clock  a.  m.  Carriages  will  be 
provided  for  the  free  transportation  of  all  visitors  from 
the  Palo  Alto  station  to  the  track,  where  the  stock  will 
be  shown  in  harness.  A  sumptuous  lunch  will  be  pro 
vided,  and  everything  will  be  done  to  make  the  visit  a 
pleasant  as  well  as  a  profitable  one  to  all  comers.  Seek- 
ers after  stylish  and  speed  roadsters,  double  teams  and 
track  performers  will  have  their  wants  satisfied  at  their 
own  figures.  There  are  handsome  colts  and  filliesi 
yearlings  and  two-year-olds  sired  by  the  best  young 
sires  and  out  of  the  choicest  broodmares  on  this  great 
farm.     See  the  advertisement. 


oughbred  methods.  What  the  reader  wants  is  as  specific  in- 
formation as  possible  as  to  the  identity  of  the  horse,  and  if 
he  has  made  no  record,  and  is  otherwise  unknown  to  fame, 
merely  giving  his  dam's  name  without  her  breeding  furnishes 
very  slight  evidence  of  his  identity.  There  is  no  pedigree 
expert  that  could  give,  without  reference  to  the  boobs,  the 
Dimes  of  the  dams  of  one-tenth  of  the  horses  that  have  made 
records,  much  less  the  names  of  the  dams  of  those  that  have 
not  distinguished  themselves  in  any  way.  So  that  it  would 
be,  in  the  vast  majority  of  cases,  just  as  well  not  to  give  the 
names  of  dams  at  all  without  stating  at  least  by  what  horse 
they  were  sired." 


Races  at  Fort  Bragg. 


The  residents  of  this  lively  town  are  making  good  use 
of  their  new  track  if  one  is  to  judge  by  the  excellent 
programme  of  races  they  are  to  give  on  the  4th,  5th  and 
6th  of  July.  The  events  given  will  consist  of  half-mile 
and  repeat  races  for  runners,  mile  heats,three  in  five  tor 
trotters,  three-quarter  mile  races,  one-half  mile  dashes, 
races  for  saddle  horses  and  other  interesting  races  which 
will  be  sure  to  draw  crowds  of  people  from  all  parts  of 
Mendocino  county.  There  are  several  very  fast  sprint- 
ers there,  and  exciting  finishes  will  be  in  order. 


A  Reform  Much  Needed. 


If  all  of  the  turf  journals  would  re-echo  the  sentiments 
expressed  in  the  following  article  which  appeared  in  the 
Kentucky  Stock  Farm,  the  reform  so  ardently  wished 
for  may  soon  be  accomplished  : 

"It  is  well  enough  now,  at  the  opening  of  the  trotting  sea- 
son, to  repeat  the  advice  to  the  daily  press  which  has  been 
somewhat  liberally  given  it  before.  It  may  not  be  heeded; 
but  if  not,  so  much  worse  for  those  to  whom  it  is  given.  Our 
brethren  of  the  secular  journals  want  to  give  their  patrons 
the  news,  and  it  is  their  desire  to  give  it  in  a  form  in  which 
it  will  be  appreciated  by  their  patrons,  Not  being  trotting- 
horse  men,  however,  they  often  fail  to  realize  that  a  trotting 
summary,  without  any  statement  of  pedigree,  is  of  far  less 
value  than  one  in  which  the  pedigree  of  the  contesting  horses 
is  given.  The  sires  and  dams  of  the  winning  horses,  at  least, 
should  always  be  furnished  where  it  is  possible,  and  it  is  al- 
ways possible  if  reporters  know  their  business  and  will  at- 
tend to  it.  As  it  is  the  duty  of  the  secretaries  of  the  tracks  to 
require  the  geanology  of  the  horses  to  be  stated  when  en- 
tered, and  as  the  presumption  is  that  these  secretaries  do 
what  the  rules  require,  all  that  is  usually  necessiry  is  to  ob- 
tain this  information  from  the  secretaries.  When  the  reporter 
fails  to  do  this,  it  is  either  because  he  does  not  understand 
his  business,  or  is  too  indolent  to  take  the  trouble.  Every 
year  there  are  great  numbers  of  new  horses  entered — horses 
that  are  totally  unknown  to  the  public.  Very  little  satisfac- 
tion is  derived  from  the  perusal  of  a  trottiDg  or  a  pacing 
summary  in  which  it  is  stated  that  Charley  X.  or  Mary  Y. 
won  a  race,  where  both  the  breeding  and  the  personality  of 
the  horse  is  pureK  a  matter  of  conjecture.  It  is  very  much 
more  interesting  to  the  horse  men  who  read  these  summaries 
to  know  that  Charley  X.  by  Shadeland  Onward,  dam  by 
Hamlin's  Almont,  or  Mary  Y,  by  Anteeo,  dam  by  Whipple, 
won  his  or  her  race  in  a  given  number  of  minutes  and  sec- 
onds. It  is  still  better  if  the  sires  and  dams  of  all  the  horses 
iu  the  race  are  given  by  name.  It  takes  a  little  more  trouble 
to  make  thisstatement  in  full,  but  the  additional  trouble  is 
amply  repaid  by  the  satisfaction  thus  afforded  to  the  readers 
of  the  journal. 

Trotting  journals  derive  their  information  largely  from 
the  summaries  furnished  by  papers  published  in  the  locality 
of  the  races.  Where  hundreds  of  meetings  are  being  held 
simultaneously,  it  is  of  course  absolutely  impossible  for  them 
to  have  a  'special  commission  '  at  each  of  the  places  of  meet- 
ing. No  trotting  journal  proposes  to  do  this.  They  have  to 
furnish  their  readers  the  news  as  they  receive  it,  and  where 
the  local  paper — say  in  North  Carolina,  in  Oregon,  iu  Minne- 
sota, or  in  Canada — reports  a  trotting  race  without  sum- 
maries, the  trotting-horse  papers  can  only  communicate  the 
information  as  they  receive  it, 

Trotting-horse  men  are  now  a  very  large  and  ioHnenlial 
class  in  this  country.  They  number  many  hundred  thousands. 
The  daily  paper  that  gives  the  fullest  information  in  regard 
to  trotting  races  is  the  one  which  they  all  want,  and,  from  a 
purely  selfish  point  of  view.it  will  amply  repay  them  to  make 
their  racing  reportsas  complete  as  possible.  The  great  daily 
that  does  this  will  reap  ample  reward  in  a  largely  increased 
subscription  list,  and  the  purely  local  journal  that  does  the 
same  thing  will  find  it  greatly  to  its  advantage. 

In  this  connection  it  may  be  well  to  draw  attention  to  a 
vicious  mode  of  stating  pedigrees  which  it  would  be  well  to 
correct.  For  example,  a  horse  is  said  to  be  by  'George 
Wilkes,  dam  Sarah  Jane.'  Now  there  may  be  a  dozen  trot- 
ting bred  mares  by  the  name  of  Sarah  Jane,  and  it  is  possi- 
ble, too,  that  this  particular  Sarah  Jane  is  not  trotting-bred. 
It  is  much  better  to  state  the  pedigree  of  the  horse  as  'by 
George  Wilkes,  dam, by  Mambrino  Time,'  and  still  better  as 
'  by  George  Wilkes,  dam  Sarah  Jane,  by  Mambrino  Time.' 
The  method  of  statement  criticized  is  copied  from  the  thor- 


Ramapo,  winner  of  the  $25,000  Suburban  Handicap 
on  Thursday,  has  perhaps  the  most  peculiar  breeding  of 
any  horse  ever  known.  His  pedigree  reads  :  "  By  Run- 
nymede  or  imp.  Pontiac,  dam  Annie  F.,  by  Springbok 
or  Galway."  His  victory  was  expected,  his  win  of  the 
rich  Metropolitan  Handicap  recently  over  pretty  much 
the  same  class  of  horses  as  he  met  Thursday,  and  with 
such  a  pilot  as  Taral  to  guide  him,  making  him  reason- 
ably certain  of  winning.  He  may-make  a  great  sire  and 
is  a  grand  racehorse,  but  who  can  say  what  the  "  happy 
nick  "  is  in  his  case,  bred  as  he  is  ? 


Entries  to  the  races  to  be  given  at  the  Marysville  Fair 
will  close  next  Saturday,  June  30th.  Horsemen  should 
read  the  advertisement  in  this  issue  and  make  as  many 
eutries  as  possible,  for  this  fair  commences  July  24th, 
and  will  be  the  opening  one  of  the  circuit.  Every 
preparation  is  being  made  to  make  this  the  best  meeting 
ever  held  at  this  place. 


The  advertisement  of  the  three  great  meetings  which 
will  follow  Mrrysville  this  fall  appears  in  this  issue  for 
the  first  time.  Entries  will  close  July  21st.  A  more 
extended  notice  will  appear  next  week.  The  greatest 
preparations  are  being  made  to  have  everything  in  readi- 
ness for  these  meetings. 


Credit  Where  it  is  Due. 


A  number  of  jealous  horsemen  in  and  around  Eureka, 
Humboldt  county,  have  been  throwing  discredit  on  the  breed- 
ing of  Wayland  W.,  2:18£,  a  horse,  by  the  way,  that  we  con- 
sidered second  to  no  other  in  California  for  pure  trotting 
action,  speed,  gameness  and  all  the  race-horse  qualities  sought 
after  by  our  best  horsemen.  Wayland  W.  is  by  Arthur 
Wilkes,  2:28i  (he  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of  Grade,  by 
Arthurton),  his  dam  is  Letty  W.  (dam  of  Welcome,  2:24,  and 
Maud  Singleton,  2:2SA),  by  Singleton  20,886  (son  of  Willie 
Schepper  17,359,  and  Lightfoot,  by  Flaxtail  8132,  second  dam 
Fanny  Fern,  dam  of  six  producing  daughters,  by  Irvin's 
Tuckahoe) ;  the  second  dam  was  Mary,  of  whom  the  follow- 
ing article  which  appeared  in  a  recent  number  of  this  journal 
says: 

Another  of  the  little  band  of  mares  that  Dr.  M.  W.  Hicks 
brought  to  California  was  the  dark  bay  mare  Mary,  by  Flax- 
tail,  dam  by  Bright  Eyes,  by  Boanerges,  a  son  of  Printer. 
Mary  was  a  very  blood-like,  pure-gaited  trotter.  She  won  a 
race  and  got  a  record  of  2:42  after  ploughing  in  the  field  until 
noon,  and  with  this  preparation  won  the  race  and  got  this  rec- 
ord in  Keokuk,  Iowa.  Shortly  afterwards  she  was  purchased 
by  Dr.  Hicks  from  her  breeder,  George  Lieurence,  and 
brought  to  California,  and  the  following  year  he  drove  her  a 
mile  in  a  trial  against  time  on  the  Sacramento  track  in  2:25, 
but  as  no  records  were  kept  of  such  performances,  it  is  of 
course  only  given  to  show  that  she  had  speed. 

From  the  records  it  appears  that  she  was  a  prolific  breeder, 
for  before  coming  to  this  State  she  was  nine  years  of  age  and 
had  several  foals,  but  the  only  ones  that  were  brought  to 
California  with  the  mare,were  her  daughter  Letty  (by  Way- 
land  Forrest,  a  son  of  Alexander's  Edwin  Forrest)  and  her 
son  Sterling  (sire  of  Argent,  2:24},  Acrobat,  2:18},  Vigor, 
2:28,  Haviland,  2:25,  and  Brilliant,  sire  of  Brilliantine, 
2-174),  by  Egmont.  Letty  is  the  dam  of  the  trotters  Maud 
Singleton,  2:28£  (dam  of  Silver  Note,  a  two-year-old,  with  a 
record  of  2:3lf),  by  Siogletoo  ;  Wayland  W.,  2:1SA,  by  Ar- 
thur Wilkes,  2:28-},  aod  Welcome,  2:24,  and  a  horse  by  Single- 
ton that  is  now  in  Colorado,  which  trotted  in  2".30  last  fall, 
but  has  no  record  yet.  Letty  has  three  othere :  a  filly  by 
Stone's  Election  that  will  go  in  the  list  next  fall,  a  yearling 
colt,  brother  to  Wavland  W.,  and  a  weanling  filly, a  sister  to 
this  great  trotter.  Mary  was  bred  to  Prompter  after  she  came 
to  California,  and  produced  Apex,  2:26,  as  a  four-year-old; 
be  has  a  number  of  colts  and  fillies  that  will  enter  the 
charmed  circle  when  old  enough.  Mary  was  bred  to  Promp- 
ter the  following  year  and  produced  a  colt  called  Busiris  that 
was  in  several  races  last  fall,  but  got  no  record.  Mary's  next 
foal  was  Grace,  by  Buccaneer  and  she  is  known  as  the  dam 
of  the  great  pacer  Creole  that  reduced  his  record  to  2:15  this 
season.  Grace  is  the  dam  of  Oweos  Bros.'  great  pacer  Eagle, 
by  War  Eagle,  that  will  get  a  record  of  2:20  in  1894.  She  is 
also  the  dam  of  a  Director  filly  that  is  the  fleetest  thing  seen 
at  the  tra*;k  for  its  age ;  this  filly  belongs  to  T.  W.  Moore  of 
Hope  Glen  Stock  Farm.  Mary  is  also  the  dam  of  Gazelle, 
by  Buccaneer  (a'sister  to  Grace),  she  is  the  dam  of  a  colt  by 
Durfee  that  will  enter  in  all  races  in  1894  he  is  eligible 
for.  Mary  was  next  bred  to  Walker  (son  of  Prompter), 
aod  produced  in  two  consecutive  years,  two  light  bay  fillies; 
the  elder  sold  for  $900  after  trotting  quarters  as  a  two-year- 
old  on  the  Sacramento  track  in  thirty-five  seconds.  The  last 
one  is  now  being  handled  for  speed.  The  old  mare  died  be- 
fore it  was  weaned,  but  this  little  trotter  promises  to  be  as 
fast  as  any  of  the  family.  Mary  was  foaled  in  18G6,  and  died 
in  1891,  leaving  these  descendants  to  perpetuate  her  name. 
Her  pedigree  on  the  maternal  side  will  be  placed  in  the 
gallery  of  '  unknowns'  alongside  of  that  of  Shanghai  Mary, 
Dolly  Spanker,  Mrs.  Caudle  and  the  score  of  other  matrons." 
With  s  uch  a  foundation  as  the  broodmare  Mary,  and 
having  for  a  dam  a  mare  that  is  destined  to  become  one  of  the 


greatest  in  the  world,  the  friends  of  Wayland  W.  can  point 
with  pride  to  what  the  horse  has  done  as  an  individual  and 
how  on  both  paternal  and  mate.nal  sides  he  traces  to  the 
Greatest  of  his  sires  and  dams  of  extreme  speed  and  gameness. 


At  the  Oakland  Track. 


"  It's  like  a  race  meeting  over  here,"  was  the  remark  of  a 
spectator  on  the  porch  of  the  hotel  facing  the  Oakland  track 
last  Monday  morning.  To  see  the  large  number  of  drivers 
with  their  horses  coming  two  and  three  abreast  down  the 
homestretch,  the  wisdom  of  the  rernark  was  acknowledged. 
Peter  Brandow  behind  Free  Coinage,  P.  Williams  with  Mon- 
tana, Ed.  Lafferty  and  Sable  Steinway,  L.  C.  Smith  with  a 
black  Mambrino  Wilkes  trotter,  Jimmy  Nolan  holding  Sena- 
tor L.  well  in  hand,  J.  Nelson,  a  new  comer  with  Glendora, 
J.  H.  Crow  with  Melvar,  and  R.  McMillan  with  Daylight, 
were  all  noticed  on  the  track  at  one  time,  and  the  way  they 
moved  pant  the  grand  stand  showed  that  they  were  almost  fit 
fur  a  race. 

A  number  of  the  horses  at  th's  course  were  affected  with  a 
slight  form  of  distemper  during  the  month  of  May  which  in^-  ' 
capacitated  them  from  getting  the  amount  of  work  they 
needed,  but  now  all  traces  of  the  dreaded  sickness  have  dis- 
appeared anl  the  horses  are  (l  rounding  to"  in  nice  shape. 
The  track  is  kept  in  good  condition,  and  a  better  patronized 
one  is  not  to  be  found  in  this  State.  E?ery  week  brings  ad- 
ditions to  the  long  list  of  horses  alrendv  stabled  there. 

Ed.  Lafferty  has  had  the  handsome  three-year-old  trotting 
mare  Mariposa  sent  bim  from  A.  Timmerman,  Pleasanton. 
Sheis  by  Guide,  2:16},  out  of  a  mare  by  Monroe  Chief. 

J.  M.  Nelson,  formerly  of  Galesburg,  Illinois,  has  joined 
the  rankg  of  trainers  and  has  a  string  of  trotters  and  pacers 
that  will  compare  very  favorably  with  any  other  on  this 
track. 

In  the  first  stall  is  a  large,  rangy,  well-muscled  black  filly 
called  Glendora.  She  is  by  Sable  Wilkes,  2:18,  out  of  Amy 
Fay,  by  Anteeo,  2:16}.  Sheis  a  trotter  and  one  that  will 
make  a  successful  attempt  to  get  inside  the  2:20  list  this 
year. 

Fay  Wilkes,  a  four-year-old  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  out  of 
Amy  F&y,  is  also  a  very  promising  trotter.  These  two  belong 
to  O.  Mansfeld,  of  Oakland. 

Skip,  2:36,  is  a  splendidly-muscled,  low-set,  strong-looking 
chestnut  mare  that  has  a  mortgage  on  a  2:25  record  to  be 
foreclosed  this  fall.  She  is  owned  by  F.  M.  Day,  of  the  Bel- 
mont Stock  Farm. 

In  the  adjoining  stall  stands  a  horse  that  is  destined  to  be- 
come one  of  the  pacing  wonders  of  the  west.  We  refer  to 
the  royally-bred  Red  Wilkes  stallion  Dictatus.  He  has 
grown  taller  and  filled  out  since  his  arrival  from  the  south 
and  under  Mr.  Nelson's  careful  handling  will  give  a  good 
account  of  himself.  He  has  been  entered  in  a  number  of 
races  and  with  his  sweet  disposition,  level  head,  frictionless 
gait  and  remarkable  speed  (for  the  little  work  he  has  had) 
will  prove  that  besides  being  bred  in  the  purple  he  is  worthy 
of  a  place  among  the  2:15   performers  before  many  seasons 


Golden  Gate,  formerly  known  as  Frenchy,  2:20J,  is  a  pacer 
that  would  suit  the  most  fastidious.  He  is  just  receivinga  lit- 
tle stiff  work  and  stands  it  well.  His  owner  is  A.  C.  Hinks- 
ton,  a  prominent  attorney-at-law  of  Sacramento. 

In  the  adjoining  stall  Mr.  Nelson  b'fted  the  blanket  from 
Addison,  a  very  well  formed  colt,  by  James  Madison,  2:17$, 
out  of  a  mare  by  Berlin.  This  is  a  two  year-old  that  this 
careful  driver  takes  great  pride  in,  and  by  the  way  the  little 
fellow  move;  he  has  every  right  to  consider  him  a  very  prom- 
ising candidate  for  2:30  honors  this  fall. 

Harry  Brown,  another  young  trainer,  has  a  good  looking 
four-year-old  Antevolo  stallion  out  of  a  mare  by  Blackbird 
that  improves  every  time  he  is  driven. 

A  yearling  black  colt  by  Wilkesdale  is  also  looked  after  by 
this  trainer.  He  is  the  making  of  a  good  Itorse  and  should  be 
turned  out  for  a  year.  All  growthy  colts  should  be  allowed  to 
get  strength  in  the  fields.  Mr.  Brown  has  him  in  perfect  6x, 
but  the  day  for  yearling  records  has  passed. 


Katy  G-.,  the  Dam  of  Three. 


The  dark  bay  mare  Katy  G.,  by  Electioneer,  has  had 
another  2:30  trotter  added  to  her  list.  Her  oldest  colt,  Covey, 
that  Samuel  Gamble  used  to  claim,  was  the  fastest  as  well  as 
the  first  Steinway  that  ever  showed  extreme  speed,  entered  the 
charmed  circle  Wednesday  in  a  race  against  a  horse  called 
Dudley,  trotting  the  heats  in  2:25  and  2:26}.  After  Covey 
came  as  a  three-year-old  to  the  Bay  District  track,  he  took 
cold,  aod  came  near  dying.  After  his  recovery  he  was  sold, 
and  finally  disappeared.  Two  years  ago  he  trotted  in  races 
at  Eureka  and  Rohnerville,  but  the  best  record  he  got, 
although  he  won  his  races,  was  2:36A.  He  was  then  turned 
out,  and  last  April  was  taken  up  and  on  Sunday  he  won  his 
first  race  with  ease  as  above  stated. 

Covey  was  foaled  in  1883;  his  record  is  2:25.  Katy 
G.,  his  dam,  had  a  filly  the  next  year.  She  is  called 
Carrie  Malone,  ind  is  at  the  Moorland  Stock  Farm  near  Mil- 
pitas.  She  is  the  dam  of  the  fast  colt  Danton  Moultrie,  that 
trotted  quarters  as  a  three -year-old  in  thirty-three  seconds. 
Katy  G.'s  next  foal  was  the  great  Chas.  Derby,  the 
horse  that  got  a  record  of  2:20  in  the  sixth  heat  of  a  race,  and 
is  known  all  over  the  world  as  the  sire  of  the  unbeaten 
Diablo,  2:09}.  The  champion  four-year  old  pacer,  Steineer, 
2:29£,  was  her  next  foal.  None  of  the  rest  of  her  foals  have 
been  handled  for  speed.  All  the  above-named  were  sired  by 
Steinway,  2:25^,  thus  proving  that  the  Steinway-Electioneer 
cross  has  been  a  very  happy  one.  Katy  G.  is  a  regular 
breeder,  never  having  missed  but  once  since  1883.  She  is 
out  of  Fanny  Malone  (grandam  of  Maud  C,  2:14$),  by  Niag- 
ara, second  dam  Fanny  Wickham,  the  famous  twenty-mile 
trotter  that  Frank  Malone  purchased  and  brought  to  Sacra- 
mento many  years  ago. 

♦ 

Johsny  Osborne,  who  rode  races  in  England  for  fifty 
years  and  had  great  success,  is  declared  to  have  said  that  the 
best  jockey  is  the  one  that  gets  his  head  closest  to  his  horse's 
ears  in  a  race  and  maintains  a  rythmic  motion  at  the  same 
time.  The  jockeys  that  "  get  all  over  a  horse  "  might  ride 
an  occasional  good  race,  but  those  that  lean  well  forward  and 
look  neither  to  the  right  nor  the  left  are  the  ones  that  will  do 
to  trust  your  money  with.

TURF  AND  TRACK 


THE  SULKY. 


Protracted  scoring  is  sure  to  result  in  diminished  gate 
receipts.  

Direction,  by  Director,  pa^ed  a  mile  in  2:27A,  last  half  in 
1:07',  recently.  

The  subject  of  having  a  paid  starter  is  being  agitated  on 
the  California  circuit.        

Geo.  Stark  has  a  two-year-old  green  pacer  that  recently 
worked  a  half  in  1:14$.     

There  will  be  races  at  Watt  Park,  Grass  Valley,  July  4lh. 
A  great  time  is  anticipated. 

Director's  Flower  (2),  2:20,  won  twenty  heats  in  2:30 
or  better  as  a  two-year-old. 

Das,  2:26$,  by  Electioneer,  lowered  his  record  to  2:26.}  at 
Montreal,  Ontario,  June 7th. 

Everyone  is  talking  of  the  great  sale  that  is  to  take  place 
at  Palo  Altooext  Wednesday. 

The  number  of  free-for-alls  for  trotters  and  pacers  com- 
bined is  on  the  increase  in  the  East. 


Volunteer  has  still  another  2:30  performer  in  McKeen, 
2:27.},  who  scored  this  mark  last  week. 

The  Palo  Alto  catalogue  of  1894  is  now  in  the  hands  of 
the  printer,  and  will  be  issued  in  a  few  weeks. 

All  the  trainers  and  drivers  are  hustling  their  trotters  and 
pacers  along,  preparing  them  for  the  campaign  this  year. 

Do  not  forget  the  old-time  stake  races  to  be  given  by  the 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association  and  the  Golden  Gate  Fair  Associ- 
ation.   

Enough  applications  for  stalls  at  the  Oakland  Trotting 
Track  have  been  made  to  insure  every  one  of  them  being 
well  filled.  

It  is  the  intention  to  breed  the  black  Orloff  mare  that 
is  in  George  Starr's  stable  to  Axtell  and  present  the  produce 
to  the  Czar. 

The  Anglomaniacs  may  delight  in  the  shorn  tail  of  a  horse, 
but  to  our  notion  it  is  an  insult  to  Nature  as  well  as  an  injury 
to  the  animal.  

Lena  Holly,  2:27f,  dam  Steinola,  by  Steinway,  lowered 
her  record  to  2:22}  in  the  fourth  heat  of  a  race  at  Mansfield, 
Ohio,  June  12th.  

Wm,  Murray,  the  owner  of  Diablo,  2:09},  has  six  good 
pacers  in  his  charge  at  the  Pleasanton  track,  Diablo  and  Big 
Bertha  are  the  best. 

Nancy  Lee,  the  dam  of  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04,  has  dropped  a 
colt  by  Director,  the  sire  of  Directum,  2:05},  at  the  Clover- 
dell  Farm.  Colmar,  Pa. 


Remember  the  sale  of  Palo  Alto  horses  takes  place  next 
Wednesday,  the  27ch  inst,  at  the  famous  .farm.  Catalogues 
furnished  on  application. 

Glaucus,  2:30,  by  Whippleton  out  of  Maid,  by  Paris,  a 
son  of  Vick's  Ethan  Allen  Jr.,  lowered  his  record  to  2:25}  at 
Freeport,  111.,  June  12th. 

In  the  race  for  four-year-old  trotters  at  Mineola,  Long  Is- 
land, June  13th,  Azmon  by  A z moor  (2:20*),  got  a  record  of 
2:30  and  won  his  first  race  easily. 


Fred  W.  Loeber  will  have  bis  two-year-old  pacing  colt 
Alco,  Myrtle  Thome,  Topsy  and  one  or  two  more  good 
youngsters  on  the  circuit  this  year. 

Directly,  by  Direct,  2:051,  got  a  mark  of  2:24},  pacing,  at 
Denver.  This  h  the  first  to  the  credit  of  the  "  little  black 
rascal,"  as  Monroe  Salisbury  love3  to  call  him. 

There  are  at  least  ten  of  the  get  of  Chimes  in  training  at 
the  Buflalo  track  that  can  beat  2:30  now,  and  each  one  gives 
promise  of. beating  2:20  before  the  year  is  over. 

Governor  Markham  has  accepted  the  resignation  of 
Joseph  Hoyt  as  Director  of  Agricultural  District  No.  36, and 
appointed  Thomas  Bailey  Montgomery  in  his  stead. 

Venitia  \Vilki:>,[2:28£,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  made  her 
record  on  a  half-mile  track,  and  from  the  ease  with  which 
she  vanquished  her  opponents  great  things  are  expected  of 
her. 

The  change  of  name  of  Benefit,  by  General  Benton,  to 
Spendthrift,  is  suggestive.  P.  Shank,  of  Litchfield,  O.,  is 
handling  him  and  hopes  to  prove  that  he  is  entitled  to  his  old 


Race  judges  should  not  only  be  well  posted  in  the  rules  of 
the  trotting  associations,  but  should  also  be  men  of  the  strict- 
est integrity,  who  will  see  that  all  the  rules  are  enforced  im- 
partially. 

Wm.  IIaivkv  sendfl  hU  handsome  Htandard-bred  colt 
Ameer  17131,  by  Prince  Red,  out.  of  Ada,  by  Antevolo,  2:191, 
t<>  his  place  in  Lake  County,  Oregon.  It  is  called  Sum- 
mer Lake  Ranch. 

The  National  Trotting  Association  will  shortly  be  asked 
to  adopt  a  rule  requiring  each  driver  in  a  race  to  wear  a  uni- 
form representing  the  colors  of  his  stable,  to  consist  of  jacket, 
cap  and  pantaloons. 

i  i  i  DwYER,  the  well-known  trainer  who  drovethegreat 
colt  A I  had  nn  to  his  low  mark  as  a  yearling,  is  gathering  quite 
a  lot  of  fast  horses  at  Buflalo  and  will  have  them  in  tiie  races 
on  the  circuit  thin  year. 

Jab.  M  1'leasanton,  sold  his  yearling  colt  Dexter 

P.,  by  Dexter  Priuce,  dam  Missie  Medium,  to  A.  B.  Spreck- 
els  last  Monday,  Terms  private.  This  is  one  of  the  best- 
bred  and  most  promining  sons  of  Dexter  Prince  for  his  age  in 
California,  and  will  be  heard  from  next  year  in  the  circuit. 

[T  is   i  --nil    <^iiii('in   that  the  Fashion  Farm, 

Trenton,  N.  .'..  has  jusl  been  Bold  for  $75,000  to  a  Mr.  Good- 
win, of  New  York.  This  is  one  of  the  most  famous  farms  in 
the  Eastern  Stat,  a,  and  it  was  here  that  the  celebrated  trio, 
Lady  Thorne,  Lucy  and  Goldsmith   Maid,  ended  (heir  days. 


Gold  Medal,  the  bay  gelding  that  Prof.  E.  P.  Heald 
owned  at  one  time,  is  pacing  in  the  East.  He  was  in  a  race 
at  Freeport,  Illinois,  June  Pith,  but   only    won  third  money. 

Altivo,  full  brother  to  Palo  Alto,  2:OS3,  was  the  contend- 
ing horse  in  the  race  in  which  he  trotted  in  Denver,  June  12th. 
He  was  only  beaten  a  head  in  2:23  in  the  second  heat.  He 
will  do  for  the  2:20  classes  later  on. 

It  issaid  that  wealthy  men  of  New  York,  Philadelphia  and 
Baltimore  have  already  invested  $100,000  in  horses  since  the 
arrangements  were  completed  to  hold  the  intercity  wagon 
races  between  the  horsemen  of  those  cities. 


The  record  that  seems  least  in  danger  this  year  is  the  two- 
year-old  mark.  2:10£,  of  Arion.  Both  the  2:04  of  Nancy 
Hanks  and  the  2:05}  of  the  stallion  champion  have  enemies 
in  sight,  but  what  two-year-old  threatens  2:10J? 

At  the  annual  business  meeting  of  the  Los  Gatos  Driving 
Association,  held  Monday  evening,  the  following  officers  were 
elected :  President,  Douglas  J.  Roberts ;  Vice-President, 
Charles  W.  Gertridge;  Secretary  and  Treasury,  F.  R.  Todd. 

A  horse  called  Harrison  Bell  got  a  pacing  record  of  2:22| 
at  Mansfield,  Ohio,  June  12th.  His  sire  is  given  as  Bell 
Boy.  If  it  is  the  California-bred  horse  he  has  two  pacers  to  . 
his  credit  in  the  2:25  class,  his  other  performer  being  Ander- 
son Bell,  2:20}.  

William  Russell  Allen's  famous  trotting  stallion 
Kramlin  made  a  half  mile  in  one  minute  on  the  Allen  farm 
track  at  Pittsfield,  Mass.,  on  Friday,  thus  showing  him  to  be 
in  grand  trim  for  the  season  of  '94,  when  he  is  to  try  to  beat 
his  record  of  2:07|.  

Expressive,  the  three-year-old  filly  by  Electioneer,  out  of 
Esther  (dam  of  Express,  2:21),  by  Express  won  her  first  race 
at  Denver  on  June  11th  in  two  straight  heats  in  2:26}  and 
2:25|.  This  is  the  second  one  to  Electioneers  credit  this 
year,  Jim,  2:27},  being  the  other. 

Willis  A.,  which  won  a  race  at  Philadelphia  last  week,  is 
an  eight-year-old  son  of  Alcantara  that  took  a  record  of  2:29£ 
in  1891.  He  started  in  only  one  race  last  year,  and  won  a 
heat  in  it  without  reducing  his  record.  He  seems  to  be  one 
of  the  sort  that  improves  with  age. 

The  standard-bred  trotting  stallion  Lyle,  by  Junio,  2:22, 
son  of  Electioneer,  is  standing  for  public  service  at  Glasgow, 
Scotland.  Terms  $25.  A  letter  from  the  land  o'  cakes  states 
that  "  his  colts  and  fillies  out  of  mares  of  all  kinds  are  beau- 
tiful and  their  trotting  action  is  perfect." 

Davisville  rejoices  in  a  race  track.  It  is  located  on  the 
Chiles  place  a  mile  north  of  town.  The  track  is  just  com- 
pleted and  is  in  fine  condition.  A  good  many  horses  are  al- 
ready in  training  and  it  is  expected  that  much  sport  will  en- 
sue this  fall.  The  track  belongs  to  a  recently  organized  as- 
sociation.   

Horse  owners  in  this  country  are  complaining  because 
there  are  reported  cases  of  glanders  just  over  the  county  line 
in  Stanislaus  county,  which  the  people  in  the  adjoining 
county  appear  to  pay  little,  if  any,  attention  to.  It  is  also 
said  that  there  are  several  animals  that  appear  to  be  gland- 
ered  on  ranches  near  Stockton. 

Trotting  officials,  judges,  secretaries,  owners  and  drivers, 
in  fact  everybody  connected  with  trotting  sport,  should  make 
themselves  thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  revised  trotting 
rules.  The  meetings  will  be  more  successful,  and  many  cases 
will  be  avoided  which  otherwise  will  burden  the  dockets  of 
the  Association  Boards  next  December. 

Secretary  Edwin  F.  Smith,  of  the  State  Agricultural 
society,  writes  ct  In  sending  you  the  pedigree  of  Almonita 
(General  A.  L.  Hart's  filly),  upon  which  payment  was  made 
June  1st  in  the  $7,500  Futurity  Stake,  it  was  through  a  cleri- 
cal error  described  wrong.  Her  correct  breeding  is  as  fol- 
lows :  Br  f  by  Director,  dam  Almonta,  by  Tilton  Almont." 

It  is  hoped  that  the  fast  Blue  Bull  trotter  Zoe  B.  (2:17}), 
now  in  Germany,  will  produce  a  foal  next  year  by  Prince 
Warwick,  son  Gf  Alcona,  by  Almont.  Zoe  B.  was  the  fastest 
trotter  by  the  records  sired  by  Blue  Bull, and  she  also  ranked 
among  his  best  campaigners.  As  she  is  now  twenty-three 
years  old,  the  chances  are  against  her  ever  producing  a  foal 

Obrin  A.  Hickok  is  doing  little  with  his  string  at  Terre 
Haute,  principally  walking  and  jogging,  letting  them  get  well 
rested  up  from  their  long  trip.  Directum  is  in  great  form, 
feeling  so  good  he  can  hardly  stay  on  the  ground.  Silicon  is 
looking  her  old-time  self,  and  it  will  not  be  long  before  the 
"Little  Nancy  Hanks"  will  do  her  part  towards  entertaining 
the  rail  birds. 

One  of  the  finest  foals  ever  seen  about  Sacramento  is  a 
black  filly  by  Shields'  horse  Dictator  Jr.,  dam  Dolly  by  Black 
Ralph  belonging  to  C.  H.  Taylor  of  Sacramento.  It  attracts 
great  attention  among  local  horsemen,  is  a  natural  pacer, 
built  on  almost  the  identical  lines  of  Direct,  2:05J,  and  will 
most  likely  be  trained  by  its  proud  owner  for  the  yearling 
pacing  events  of  1895. 

Ed.  Daugherty  has  established  quite  a  training  stable  at 
the  Ferndale  race  course.  He  is  now  handling  five  head  of 
horses,  to-wit :  W.  B.  Alford's  Chas.  R.,  by  Anteeo,  and  he 
by  Electioneer;  Judge  Smith's  Manhattan,  by  Patchen  ; 
Fred  Doc's  Doc,  by  Grand  Moor;  Dr.  Ring's  Ira  filly  and  a 
Waldstein  colt,  the  latter  out  of  Belle  Steinway,  now  owned 
by  Geo.  M.  Brice. — Enterprise. 

In  Fayette  Park,  Lexington,  Ky.,  there  live  side  by  side 
two  breeders  of  horses  whose  names  have  become  prominent. 
One  is  Hart  Boswell,  who  bred  and  reared  the  trotting  queen 
Nancy  Hanks,  2:04;  the  other  is  Dan  Swigert,  who  bred  the 
king  of  the  turf,  Salvator,  1:35}.  They  have  lived  neighbors 
for  years  in  Fayette  county,  and  are  now  enjoying  the  quiet 
comforts  of  town  life  in  the  winter  season,  but  return  to  the 
farm  during  hot  months. 

The  famous  trotting  stallion  Jay  Gould  died  on  Tuesday 
last  on  the  farm  near  Somerville,  N.  J.,  where  "Jimmy" 
O'Neil  sent  him  a  few  days  after  he  had  bought  the  old  horse 
for  $50  at  the  dispersal  sale  of  the  Fashion  Farm  Stock  last 
September.  Jay  Gould  was  foaled  in  1864, by  Rysdyck's  Ham* 
bletonian  out  of  Lady  Sanford,  by  \merican  Star.  He  made 
his  record  of  2:20A  at  Buflalo  in  1872,  and  soon  after  was

Farm. 


The  northern  circuit  has  now  been  arranged.  The  first 
fair  of  the  season  will  commence  at  Marysville  on  July  24th 
and  conclude  on  the  28th.  It  will  be  followed  by  Chico 
from  July  31st  to  August  4th;  Red  Bluff,  August  7th  to  11th; 
Willows,  August  J4lh  to  18th;  Woodland,  August  21st  to 
25tb;  Glenbrook,  August  28th  to  September  1st.  The  State 
Fair  will  commence  Lhe  following  week  and  continue  until 
September  15th,  giving  to  the  horse  owners  the  best  unbroken 
circuit  thaf  has  yet  been  arranged  in  the  Northern  Circuit. 

The  San  Jose  Driving  Club  races,  heretofore  announced  to 
take  place  on  June  30th,  have  been  posponed  to  a  date  to  be 
hereafter  announced.  This  change  has  been  decided  upon  by 
the  directors  on  account  of  the  fact  that  the  Breeders'  and 
Horsemen's  Association  will  occupy  the  grounds  until  Friday 
evening  of  next  week.  It  is  thought  the  people  will  be  tired 
of  equine  sports  by  that  time,  and  will  want  a  rest  for  a  week 
or  ten  days,  and  furthermore,  the  track  having  been  prepared 
for  runners  will  require  considerable  work  to  make  it  ready 
for  trotting,  and  this  could  not  be  done  in  time  for  the  date 
at  first  determined  upon. 

The  race  track  at  Agricultural  Park  presents  an  animated 
appearance  during  these  splendid  clear  mornings.  This  I 
morning  there  were  at  least  twenty  horses  on  the  track  at  one 
time.  Runners,  pacers  and  trotters  were  being  put  through 
their  daily  exercises  and  the  scene  was  a  lively  one.  There 
are  over  a  dozen  strings  of  horses  at  the  track  now  and  the 
stables  are  filling  rapidly.  Messrs.  Bowen,  Bowman,  Locke, 
Crawfroth,  Cochrane,  Dan  Misner,  Jim  Misner,  Kildare,Over- 
halser  and  several  others  have  large  stables  over  at  the 
park. — Petaluma  Imprint. 

The  following  good  story  is  told  about  the  late  genial 
"Jim"  Kegan,  of  Augusta,  Me.  He  bought  a  horse  of  a  party 
from  the  country,  agreeing  to  pay  him  $350,  the  owner  to  de- 
liver the  horse  in  Augusta.  He  brought  the  horse,,  and  as 
Kegan  was  counting  out  the  money  said:  "You  want  to  give 
me  $350  and  50  cents — 50  cents,  you  know,  for  the  halter." 
Kegan  stopped  counting  and  said:  "Didn't  I  buy  the  hal- 
ter?" "No,"  said  the  man  "Well"  Kegan  remarked,  "I 
will;  here  is  50  cents  for  the  halter.  Now  you  can  take  your 
old  horse  and  go  home  with  him,"  And  he  had  to  buy  a 
new  halter  and  take  the  horse  home. 


A  party  of  gentlemen  on  Monday  last  fell  to  discussing 
the  merits  of  Frank  Work's  great  teams,  Edward  and  Dick 
Swiveller  and  Mahala  and  Sea  Girl,  the  latter  pair  being  a 
recent  purchase.  Mr.  Work  said  that  two  such  teams  could 
not  be  got  together  in  the  world.  He  became  quite  enthusi- 
astic over  Mahala,  who  has  a  race  record  of  2:19f,  and  Sea 
Girl,  with  a  race  record  of  2:18^.  The  great  beauty  of  this 
team  is  that  it  can  be  driven  at  full  speed  while  the  lines  are 
dangling  on  the  backs  of  the  horses,  and  no  boots  are  used  on 
them.  John  B.  Daniels,  the  well-known  dry-goods  merchant, 
listened  patiently  to  the  words  <-f  praise  and  when  Mr. 
Work  stopped  to  relight  his  cigar  Mr.  Daniels  offered  $10,- 
000  for  Mahala  and  Sea  Girl.  The  offer  was  declined,  Mr. 
Work  saying  that  they  could  not  be  matched  by  anybody, 
and  that  $20,000  would  not  buy  them. 

A.  H.  Moore,  of  Philadelphia,  the  young  man  that  has 
put  over  $350,000  in  trotters,  is  reported  as  bewailing  his 
fate,  in  that  his  experience  with  the  trotters  would  be  a 
repetition  with  dogs.  It  seems  that,  on  account  of  high  ex- 
cellence of  his  dogs,  they  were  all  barred  for  contests  and  he 
was  fearful  that  before  long  they  would  bar  his  horses  for 
racing  on  the  same  account.  There  is  no  occasion  for  the 
young  man  to  lose  any  sleep  worrying  over  the  matter.  The 
trotter  is  a  funny  animal,  in  that  he  comes  to  the  poor  as 
quick  as  to  the  rich.  Buy  up  every  trotter  in  the  country 
and  the  next  day  some  hayseed  will  come  out  of  the  "  brush  " 
with  clothesline  harness  on  one  that  will  take  the  measure  of 
your  best.  Might  as  well  try  to  get  a  corner  on  the  waves  of 
air  as  to  corner  the  American  trotter.  Dan  McCarty  tried 
to  get  a  corner  on  the  Dexter  Prince  family  here,  but  he 
found  that  the  family  was  too  large  for  his  resources,  so  he 
got  in  the  corner  and  is  trying  to  extricate  himself  the  beat 
way  i 


One  of  the  most  promising  four-year-olds  out  this  season 
is  the  bay  filly,  Pantomine  by  Arthurton,  dam  by  Princeps, 
second  dam  Nellie  Walton,  2:26  1-2,  by  Jules  Jurgensen,  says 
The  Times,  Richmond.  Early  this  season  Pantomine  was 
placed  in  the  hands  of  E.  S.  Clayton,  at  the  Suffolk  (Va.) 
Driving  Park,  who  began  her  preparation  for  the  spring  cam- 
paign. Her  first  start  was  in  the  2:37  class  at  the  Gentle- 
man's Driving  Park,  Baltimore,  on  May  15th,  where  Clayton 
sent  her  to  the  front  in  three  straight  heats,  defeating  a  field 
of  fourteen  in  ^2:29  1-4,  2:29  1-4,  and  2:26  1-4.  One  week 
later,  at  Pimlico,  the  bay  daughter  of  Arthurton  again  started 
in  the  2:37  class  in  a  field  of  eleven,  winning  in  straight 
heats,  equalling  her  record  in  the  first  heat,  and  tro'ting 
back  into  the  same  notch  in  the  second  and  third  heats.  Pan- 
tomine was  bred  by  R.  S.  Veech,  at  Indian  Hill  Farm,  Ken- 
tucky, and  later  passed  to  S.  T.  Harbison,  of  Lexington,  Ky., 
who  disposed  of  her  at  his  sale  held  here  at  the  State  Fair  in 
October  last,  the  purchaser  being  M.  H.  White,  of  Hertford, 
N.  C,  the  bay  filly  falling  to  his  bid  of  $255.  Mr.  White,  who 
owns  several  good  ones,  has  in  Pantomine  a  very  promising 
young  mare  that  is  likely  to  beat  2.20  before  the  close  of  the 
season. 

The  trotting  horsemen  of  the  country  are  laughing  over  a 
"Battle  of  the  Dudes"  that  took  place  at  New  York  City 
recently.  Some  time  ago  there  was  a  cull  sale  of  trotters  in 
New  York  City.  In  the  lot  was  a  dirty  gray  gelding  with 
two  big  spavins  and  a  few  other  leg  adornments  that  gener- 
ally goes  with  a  horse  at  a  sucker  sale.  The  gelding  brought 
$80  and  was  thought  to'  be  well-  sold.  As  he  had  excessive 
action  and  could  trot  all  day  on  a  cake  of  ice,  his  tail  was  cut 
off  and  his  mane  roached,  making  him  a  hackney,  "the 
dudes"  delight.  He  afterwards  changed  hands  at  something 
like  $150.  His  last  purchaser,  learning  that  one  of  New 
York's  celebrated  bankers  a  member  of  the  400,  was  going  to 
dispose  of  his  horse  at  public  auction,  asked  and  obtained 
permission  to  put  the  made-up  hackney  in  the  sale.  Printer's 
ink  did  its  part,  and  when  the  day  of  sale  came  the  members 
of  the  rolled-un  tronser  brigade  were  around  the  sale  mart 
like  flies  around  a  sugar  barrel.  A  chappie  from  over  about 
Philadelphia  started  the  bidding  at  $3,000,  and  by  hundreds 
the  price"  advanced  until  something  like  $4,600  had  been  bid, 
when  the  dirty  gray  that  was  not  worth  a  ham  °andwich 
became  the  property  of  thescion  of  the  Belmont  family.  Such 
is  life  in  great  cities.  It  is  not  to  be  wondered  at  that  every 
sucker  horse  in  the  country  is  put  on  the  cars  and  sent  to 
New  York  to  be  disposed  of"  —Terre  Haute  Express.

THE  SADDLE. 


Zaldivar  has  been  added  to  the  list  of  jumpers. 

Lottie  Mixls  wod  a  six-furlong  dash  last  Saturday  at  St. 
Louis  io  1:14|.     Old  Guido  finished  third. 


F.  MaLEY  will  send  Hal  Fisher  and  one  or  two  oth°r  fiyers 
to  participate  in  the  coming  meeting  at  Portland,  Ore. 

Hon.  H.  M.  LaRue,  of  Sacramento,  has  been  engaged  as 
presiding  judge  at  the  coming  Portland,  Or.,  race  meeting. 

Matt  Barnes  left  New  York  for  Chicago  last  Monday 
with  the  American  colt,  Senator  Grady  in  charge.  Garrison 
rides.  

Rev  el  Santa  Anita,  at  5  to  1  in  the  betting,  won  the 
Latooia  Prize,  wortn  $2,240  to  the  owner,  laU  Tuesday  at  La- 
tonia.  

Nick  S.  Hall  shipped  eight  horses  to  Portland,  Or.,  last 
Tuesday  from  this  city, including  the  speedy  Bill  Howard  and 
Norlee.  

Florianna,  the  Baldwin  hlly,  was  run  up  $625  over  her 
entered  selling  price  of  $900  when  she  won  at  Latonia  on  the 
14th  inst.  

The  progrp.mme  issued  by  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's 
Association  for  the  San  Jose  meeting  is  a  most  attractive  one. 
.Racing  begins  to-day. 

In  the  Daily  America  and  Mercury  popular  jockey  contest 
George  Miller  stands  second  to  Fred  Taral.  Sims  is  third 
and  McDermott  fourth.  

Lazzarone  won  the  Himyar  Stakes,  worth  $3,000  to 
Leigli  A  Rjse,  last  Saturday  at  La'.onia.  It  was  simply  a 
gallop  for  ibe  great  colt. 

Cash  Day,  an  American  Derby  colt  by  Strathmore — Dawn, 
easily  defeated  Lucky  Dog,  Loudon  and  others  last  Tuesday 
at  Hawthorne  in  a  six-furlong  dash. 

Imp.  Matt  Byrnes,  the  $30,000  Hampton-Cherry  colt  in 
the  stable  of  Marcus  Daly,  went  lame  last  Tuesday,  and  was 
scratched  out  of  the  American  Derby. 

Lady  Bess,  the  crack  filly  of  the  Santa  Anita  stable,  has 
broken  down  and  will,  in  all  probability,  never  race  again, 
Santiago  is  also  temporarily  on  the  shelf. 

The  Portland,  Or.,  meeting  will  undoubtedly  be  one  of  the 
greatest  ever  held  in  Oregon.  A  number  of  our  best  horses 
have  already  gone  to  the  Webfoot  metropolis. 

Kitty  Scott  added  another  victory  to  her  long  string 
last  Wednesday  at  Hawthorne,  when  she  easily  defeated  a 
good  field,  in  which  was  May  and  Sallie  Woodford. 

Matt  Storn's  old.  horse  Topgallant,  now  owned  by  W. 
B.  Jennings,  won  a  mile  and  a  sixteenth  race  at  Sheepshead 
Bav  last  Wedaesday.  Watterson  finished  second  and  Flirt 
third.  

Sir  Reel  ran  absolutely  the  best  race  of  his  life  at  San 
Jose  on  Saturday,  when  he  won  the  Hotel  Vendome  Handi- 
cap. He  carried  115  pounds  and  ran  six  and  a  half  furlongs 
in  1:21*.  

It  looks  as  if  old,  rheumatic  Guido  would  never  quit  earn- 
ing money.  Last  Tuesday  at  St.  Louis  he  beat  Tim  Mdfrphy, 
Remorse  and  others  six  and  one-half  furlongs  in  the  very  fast 
time  of  1:21.  

The  race  meeting  which  begins  to-day  at  San  Jose  will 
without  doubt  be  a  grand  one.  Every  stall  at  Agricultural 
Park  is  filled  with  fleet  runners,  and  every  race  will  be  an 
interesting  contest.  

Imp.  Blackbird  II.,  the  brother  to  Prestonpans  (by 
Prince  Charlie — Beatrice,  by  Volligeur),  died  at  Spokane, 
Wash  ,  recently.  He  was  the  property  of  Felix  Pugh,  and  a 
winner  in  England.  

James  Guerin  has  purchased  of  R.  Stipe  the  very  speedy 
three-year-old  gelding  Fly,  by  Reveille — Fusillade's  Last; 
consideration  private.  Fly  will  be  heard  from  soon  in  races 
up  to  six.  furlongs.  

Orville  Appleby,  the  well-known  San  Jose  turfman, 
drives  the  good-looking  black  gelding,  Hathaway,  around  in 
a  cart,  and  the  son  of  Ironclad  will  be  started  at  the  Garden 
City  meeting,  in  all  probability. 

Racing  begins  at  San  Jose  to-day  at  2  p.  m.,  and  continues 
Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thursday,  Friday  and  Saturday  of  next 
week.  It  looks  now  as  if  the  meeting  there  would  prove  a 
success  from  every  point  of  view. 

Frank  Van  Ness,  owner  of  Morello,  Judge  Clinton  C. 
Riley,  and  Sam  Morton,  all  fresh  from  the  racing  on  the 
Coast,  were  at  Hawthorne  yesterday.  Van  Ness  old  cast-off 
Zampost  won  the  jumping  race. — inter  Ocean. 

Volcan,  the  good-loaking  gray  gelding  owned  by  "Den- 
ver" Hayes  that  won  with  odds  of  15  to  1  against  him  last 
Saturday  at  San  Jose,  will  probably  be  a  starter  at  the  Port- 
land, Oregon,  meeting,  which  begins  next  Saturday. 

Caj-ifornia-bked  horses  won  the  first  four  races  on  the 
programme  last  Monday  at  Morris  Park.  Armitage  won  at 
five  furlongs,  Peter  the  Great  at  a  mile  (in  1:41}}  Sir  Modred 
— Lulu  filly  at  five  furlongs  and  Comanche  at  a  mile. 


Ross,  by  Sir  Modred — Faustina,  aud  ridden  by  Graham, 
won  at  Latonia  on  the  13th,  beating  a  field  of  nine,  six  fur- 
longs in  1:15,  Ross,  strange  to  say,  is  named  after  Dr.  W. 
Graham  Ross,  at  present  manager  of  Tattersalls,  New  York. 

The  noted  thoroughbred  stallion  Powhattan,  by  imp. 
Leamington — Maiden,  and  full  brother  of  Parole  and  James 
A.,  recently  died  at  Woodburn  Farm,  near  Lexington,  Ky. 
He  sired  a  number  of  good  performers,  the  best  being  Bur- 
lington and  Poteen. 

Vassal  won  the  Chicago  Derby  for  Ed.  Corrigan  easily 
last  Saturday  at  Hawthorne.  It  was  worth  $5,360  to  the  Mas- 
ter of  Hawthorne,  who  had  Despot  in  the  race  in  case  Vassal 
weakened.  Johnny  Weber,  who  rode  the  winner,  was  pre- 
sented with  a  basket  of  flowers.  Old  Zoolein  beat  Ottyana 
six  furlongs  on  the  same  date. 

New  York  dispatch,  June  19 :  Gideon  to-day  offered  Gar- 
rison $500  to  allow  Taral  to  ride  Ramapo  in  the  Suburban, 
and  the  offer  was  accepted.  Clifford  has  turned  into  a  con- 
firmed roarer  and  is  not  likely  to  be  a  starter  in  the  Subur- 
ban. Leigh  says  that  he  does  not  think  the  horse  will  ever 
be  able  to  go  the  distance  again. 

Messrs.  James  R.  &  F.  P.  Keene's  chestnut  colt  St. 
Leonards,  4,  by  imp.  St.  Blaise — Belladonna,  was  shipped  to 
Kentucky  June  12th.  It  was  found  that  affection  of  his  wind 
was  so  great  that  he  has  never  likely  to  accomplish  much, 
and  it  was  determined  to  retire  him.  It  is  very  improbable 
that  he  will  ever  be  trained  again. 

Theke  was  great  enthusiasm  at  San  Jose  last  Saturday 
when  Arno  won.  He  is  owned  by  Mrs.  Murphy,  proprietress 
of  the  Arno  House,  and  was  ridden  by  a  midget  named  But- 
ler, a  native  of  the  Garden  City.  Butler  had  to  use  several 
lead  pads  in  order  to  make  the  weight,  82  pounds,  though  he 
is  eighteen  or  nineteen  years  of  age. 

It  is  claimed  by  many  that  a  horse  castrated  when  he  is 
five  years  of  age  or  over  will  never  race  well  thereafter. 
O'Bee,  who  was  recently  added  to  the  list,  won  the  best  race 
of  his  life  last  Saturday,  and  Wild  Rose  is  improving  daily. 
The  latter  showed  some  of  his  old  time,  speed,  but  had 
scarcely  recovered  from  the  operation. 

Byron  McClelland,  who  amuses  and  enriches  himself 
by  springing  a  long  shot  on  the  bookmakers  every  week, 
popped  out  The  Commoner,  a  chestnut  colt  by  Hanover,  in 
the  two-year-old  race  at  Morris  Park  recently  and  won  on 
him  somewhere  between  $20,000  and  $30,000.  The  Common- 
er led  all  the  way  and  won  in  a  driving  finish  by  half  a  length. 

Gloaming  opened  at  2h  to  1  and  closed  at  9  to  5  in  the 
seven-furlong  race  she  won  at  Hawthorne  on  the  15th.  Glee 
Boy  reigned  favorite  at  9  to  10  and  finished  fifth.  The  fam- 
ous daughter  of  Sir  Modred  and  Twilight,  ridden  by  Jasper 
Madison,  got  off  sixth,  gradually  improved  her  position  and 
won  easily  by  two  lengths,  with  Dalsyrian  in  the  place. 

On  the  9th  inst.  Charley  Weber  rode  no  less  than  four 
winners  and  a  second  at  Hawthorne  out  of  six  mounts.  One 
of  the  wins  was  on  Vassal  in  the  TJllman  Handicap,  worth 
$3,000  to  the  winner.  The  victorious  ones  piloted  by  the 
famous  little  jockey  were  at  the  following  odd  :  William  T., 
3  to  2  ;  Vassal,  even  monev  ;  Ruby  Payne,  5  to  1 ;  imp. 
Percy,  7  to  10.  

Messrs.  Lovegrove  and  Light  have  a  brand-new  Sin- 
fax  colt  out  of  Jersey  Lily.  Jersey  Lily  is  out  of  a  Lummox 
mare  by  Miloer.  It  was  stipulated  before  the  colt  was 
dropped  that  if  the  foal  should  be  a  Ally  Frank  Light  should 
name  it,  and  if  it  proved  to  be  a  colt  Geo.  Lovegrove  was  to 
name  it.  Mr.  Lovegrove  considers  it  a  sure  winner  and  has 
accordingly  christened  it  Virgil  C. — Lake  County  (Or.)  Ex- 


Despot  worked  a  mile  and  a  half  easily  over  Hawthorne 
track  last  Tuesday  in  2:43},  and  those  who  saw  it  are  confident 
that  the  Corrigan  colt  has  a  chance  in  the  American  Derby. 
Lucky  Dog  went  the  route  in  2:47,  and  his  chances  are  not 
so  much  fancied.  

Agricultural  Park,  San  Jose,  is  an  ideal  racing  ground 
and  there  was  little  grumbling  over  the  postponement  of  the 
races  there  until  to-day,  Saturday,  June  23d.  The  races  will 
be  run  on  that  date  and  also  on  Tuesday,  Wednesday,  Thurs- 
day, Friday  and  Saturday  of  the  following  week. 


The  far-famed  Epsom  meeting  in  England  is  still  a  paying 
enterprise  to  ail  appearances,  gate-money  meetings  notwith- 
standing. Recently  nine  original  £20  shares  in  the  Grand 
Stand  Association  were  sold  at  ai.ction  tor  £45  and  £4o  10s 
per  share.  The  explanation  of  this  is  that  they  paid  174  per 
cent,  last  year. 


At  the  sale  last  Monday  night  in  New  York  of  yearlings 
belonging  to  A.  J.  Cassat,  Rudolph  Ellis  and  J.  S.  Clark  the 
principal  sales  were  as  follows :  Bay  colt  by  The  Bard — 
Water  Lily,  $1,600;  to  F.  M.  Ware ;  chestnut  colt  by  The 
Bard— Belladonna,  $1,800;  bay  filly  by  The  Bard— Blossom, 
$550 ;  chestnut  colt  by  Onondaga— Sunbeam,  $3,000,  to 
Gideon  &  Daly  ;  chestnut  colt  by  Prince  Royal — Indemnity, 
$1,800.  

A  Cincinnati  dispatch  of  the  18th  says :  A  sensation  has 
been  spruDg  her  by  a  painted  horse  being  discovered  at  La- 
tonia, which  the  stable  hands  said  was  Frog  Dance,  the  crack 
colt  Byron  McClelland  sold  last  fall.  However,  before  the 
colt's  identity  could  possibly  be  established  by  investigation 
of  the  club  officers  the  horse  was  mysteriously  spirited  away. 
It  is  now  thought  in  some  quarters  that  Frog  Dance  was  the 
horse  used  in  the  recent  St.  Louis  ringing  job. 

Hugh  Kirkendall,  the  Montana  breeder  and  turfman, 
has  sent  twenty-four  head  of  thoroughbreds  (eight  two-year- 
olds  and  sixteen  yearlings)  to  Chicago  to  be  sold  at  auction  at 
the  Tattersalls  agency.  They  are  the  get  of  Eolian,  Don 
Carlos,  Mackerel,  X,  Jim  Simpson  and  Glen  Elm  and  from 
Lucy  Hayes,  Bolis,  Yogo,  Ubet,  Martha,  Jewel,  Florence  B., 
Trifle,  Katie  PutDam,  Nettles,  Auslroid,  Nannie  Rap- 
ture, Carrie  B ,  The  Brooks  Mare,  Louise,  Nordica  aud  Ethel 
Wiley,  and  are,  as  a  whole,  creditable  to  both  sires  and 
dams.  

Charles  Littlefield  Jr.,  bought  three  yearlings  last 
year.  Connoisseur  for  $2,500,  Sabilla  for  $450,  and  the  Sal- 
vator — Electra  colt  for  $2,100.  He  has  already  two  stake- 
winners  out  of  three,  and  more  than  won  the  lot  out.  This 
is  a  very  remarkable  average.  Connoisseur  is  a  very  charm-

Sir  Excess.  He  is  a  long,  substantial  colt,  standing  on  short, 
good  legs,  and  yet  full  of  quality.  In  his  slow  paces  he  is  a 
bit  of  a  loafer,  giving  the  impression  that  he  is  sore,  but  so 
far  as  racing  goes  he  has  not  yet  had  reason  to  show  what  he 
can  do. — Daily  America  and  Mercury. 

De  Bracey  and  Monterey  are  showing  up  fairly  well  in 
their  work  at  Washington  Park,  Chicago.  Morello  and 
Mainstay  are  simply  being  cantered.  Senator  Grady  and 
Dorian,  two  of  the  most  prominent  American  Derby  candi- 
dates, were  each  sent  a  mile  last  Wednesday  in  two  minutes. 
Gloaming  and  Bellicoso  went  a  mile  together.  Agitato  went 
a  clinking  six  furlongs.  Homer  and  Sir  Peter,  in  Dow  Wil- 
liams' stable,  galloped  together.  Charles  Boots'  string  of 
five  arrived  Thursday  from  Morris  Park.  All  are  two-year-

Barney  Schuieber  yesterday  bet  $200  on  Sir  Walter 
Raleigh  at  St.  Louis,  only  to  see  the  purse  won  by  his  own 
horse,  King  Mac,  who  started  at  10  tol.  "  So,  so  I"  ejacu- 
lated the  German.  "How  was  dat '!  They  say  the  Haw- 
thorne horses  are  not  some  pumpkins.  Aba!  but  I  see  King 
Mac  gels  the  money  at  St.  Louis,  but  in  Chicago  he  couldn't 
run  high,  low,  jack,  or  the  game." — Chicago  Inter  Ocean. 

For  $10,000  Eugene  Leigh  on  June  loth  at  Latonia  bought 
for  Ed  Corrigan  from  Trainer  Brown  Dick  his  2-year-old 
colt  Handsome  by  Hanover,  dam  Imp.  Ciuderella.  Dick  will 
get  $2,500  more  if  the  colt  shall  win  either  of  his  three  en- 
gagements— the  Futurity,  World's  Fair  or  Matron  slakes. 
Handsome  is  also  in  the  Kenwood  and  Hyde  Park  stakes  at 
Washington  Park,  and  Flash  and  Saratoga,  while  his  engage- 
ments as  a  3-year-old  are  many  and  valuable. 

Sir  Modred's  sons  greatly  distinguished  themselves  at 
Morris  Park  on  the  closing  dav,  which  was  last  Tuesday.  In 
the  very  rich  Eclipse  Stakes,  six  furlongs,  for  two-year-olds, 
Connisseur  ran  first  and  dir  Galahad  second,  and  both,  re- 
markable to  relate,  are  Sir  Modred  colls  and  met  the  best 
youngsters  in  the  land.  Gold  Dollar,  by  Sir  Modred — Trade 
Dollar,  won  at  a  mile.  Verily  the  Australian  blood  is  prov- 
ing very  desirable,  and  the  worth  of  the  Sir  Modreds  es- 
pecially is  forcing  itself  on  the  minds  of  the  American  public 

The  crack  colt  Nanki  Pooh,  that  beat  a  field  of  thirteen 
at  Morris  Park  on  the  12th  inst.  and  ran  five  furlongs  in  0:59, 
is  by  imp.  Darebin,  dam  Yum  Yum,  by  Onondaga,  and  was 
bred  at  Rancho  del  Paso.  He  comes  by  his  speed  honorably, 
as  Yum  Yum,  his  dam,  was  one  of  the  speediest  animals  in 
America  when  on  the  turf.  The  filly  Sabilla,  that  won  the 
Casanova  Stakes  on  the  12th  also,  is  by  Tyrant,  out  of  Stella, 
by  imp.  Mortemer.  In  the  stake  wasGutta  Percha,  the  very 
speedy  filly. 

Starter  H.  D.  Brown  leaves  San  Jose  next  Thursday  for 
Portlanc,  Oregon,  where  he  will  wield  the  little  red  flag  and 
add  further  laurels  to  his  already  heavy  crown  of  glory. 
Brown  will  be  in  great  demand  on  the  other  side  of  the 
Rockies  before  the  racing  season  of  1894  is  over,  or  we  miss 
our  guess  badly.  It  is  no  exaggeration  to  say  that  as  a  starter 
his  superior  is  not  to  be  found  in  America.  He  started  fifty- 
two  times  at  Bay  District  track  this  summer  and  five  times  at 
San  Jose,  and  not  one  bad  start  was  recorded  against  him.  At 
least  forty-eight  of  these  send-offs  might  be  termed  first-class 
in  every  respect. 

It  is  authoritatively  announced  by  people  very  close  to  the 
interested  parties  that  a  division  of  racing  dates  has  been  ar- 
ranged and  ratified  by  Edward  Corrigan,  of  Hawthorne,  and 
George  V.  Hankins,  of  the  new  West  Side  track.  There 
have  been  several  conferences  during  the  past  few  weeks  be- 
tween the  racing  magnates,  and  they  determined  as  recently 
as  Monday  that  all  interests  could  best  be  subserved  by  a  sat- 
isfactory division  of  time.  The  tracks  will  race  alternate 
weeks.  Which  one  will  have  the  privilege  of  opening  after 
Washington  Park  is  not  known.  Mr.  Corrigan  is  in  Kentucky, 
but  will  meet  the  Hankins  crowd  soon  to  arrange  final  details 
of  the  agreement. — Chicago  Inter-Ocean. 

The  Jockey  Club,  of  which  James  Keene  is  such  a  prom- 
inent member,  will  strike  out  Rule  4,  Part  III.,  of  the  Rules 
of  Racing,  which  provides  that  only  one  overnight  event  for 
a  distance  less  than  a  mile  shall  be  given  on  any  race  day. 
Gradually  our  racing  men  are  coming  to  believe  that  racing 
is  a  great  industry,  and  that  the  shorter  the  distances  a  horse 
is  asked  to  run  the  more  races  he  can  compete  in  aud  the 
more  money  earn.  In  ye  olden  times  a  horse  that  could  not 
go  three  or  four  mile-heats  was  considered  as  of  Utile  value, 
but  then  two  races  a  month  was  about  all  a  horse  was  asked 
to  go  into.  Nowadays  horses  run  four  and  five  days  a  week 
six  and  seyen  months  in  the  year,  and  are  capable  of  earning 
twenty  times  the  money  they  could  twenty-five  years  ago. 

Four  stable  boys  were  severely  injured  and  nine  valuable 
race  horses  killed  in  a  wreck  last  Monday  night  on  the 
Chicago  and  Great  Western  Railroad  at  Stillman  Valley, 
HI.  There  were  sixteeD  horses  in  one  of  the  cars  which 
were  wrecked.  They  were  owned  by  a  Mr.  Rawley  and  were 
being  .hipped  from  Chicago  to  St.  Paul.  The  men  iojured 
were  grooms  aud  jockeys.  Following  is  a  list  of  the  persons 
injured  :  John  Lahey,  several  ribs  broken;  Thomas  Wynn, 
right  side  bruised;  H.  F.  Christie,  right  leg  badly  bruised  ; 
John  Riley,  bruised  and  burned.  The  horses  killed  were: 
Mary,  Dalsyrian,  Little  Fred,  Monga,  Twilight,  Indigo,  Pan- 
handle and  Azereat.  Dalsyrian,  Little  Fred,  Indigo  and 
Panhandle  were  frequent  winners.  The  loss  is  estimated  at 
$20,000.  The  drawbar  on  one  of  the  cars  pulled  out,  aod 
falling  on  the  track,  derailed  several  cars  and  turned  the  one 
containing  the  horses  on  its  side. 


The  second  payment  of  $50,000  for  the  track  of  land  for 
the  proposed  new  racetrack  near  Suunyside  has  been  made. 
This  certainly  looks  as  if  the  new  track  is  a  certainly  and  that 
it  may  be  opened  next  spring,  says  the  Chronicle.  The  final 
and  last  payment  fallsdue  on  April  14,  1895.  Tom  Williams 
will  return  from  his  ocean  trip  on  July  27th,  when  he  will 
at  once  leave  for  the  East  for  a  conference  with  Corrigan,  UI1- 
man  and  other  interested  parties.  It  is  announced  that  the 
grading  will  be  commenced  in  August.  Few  improvements 
are  to  be  made  to  tbe  Oakland  race  track.  It  was  secured  by 
Tom  Williams  and  his  confreres  to  shut  off  opposition  in  the 
future.  M.  A.  Gunst  is  in  receipt  of  a  letter  from  Ed.  Cor- 
rigan. The  big  horseman  says  that  130  horses  will  leave  his 
track  for  San  Francisco  next  October.  Among  the  stables 
that  are  sure  to  come  West  or  those  of  Scog^an,  Corrigan, 
Pat  Dunne,  BarDey  Schreiber,  Green  Morris  and  the  Ken- 
tucky stable. 

The  Owners'  and  Trainers'  Association,  of  which  Hiram 
Scoggan,  of  Louisville,  Ky.,  is  the  first  President,  is 
fast  getting  to  be  a  most  powerful  organization.  Re- 
cently a  meeting  was  held  and  a  demand  made  on 
the  Latonia  Jockey  Club  for  a  change  in  the  weights 
on  extra  days,  so  that  the  heavier,  high-class  boys  will  have 
a  chance  to  take  mounts.  Tiny  Williams,  Mouk  Overton, 
Harry  Ray  and  Charley  Thorpe  will  thus  be  given  a  better 
opnortunity.  Our  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Associaiiou  is 
even  now  powerful  enough  to  dictate  terms  to  managers  on 
"f  tracks  on  this  coast.  For  instance,  they  can  demand  the 
abolition  of  entrance  fees,  aud  the  "kilty"  that  has  been 
holding  its  mouth  open  to  receive  most  of  the  money  of  our 
horsemen  will  soon  he  reduced  to  dust.  The  members  already 
control  about  250  horses,  and  owners  of  tracks  could  scarcely 
hold  out  agaiust  the  association  if  they  wanted  any  good 
racing.

SPECIAL   DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY  BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Country  Life.  —  Adam  and  Eve,  when  driven  from  the 
Garden  of  Eden,  sorely  lamented  their  banishment,  and  ever 
since  there  has  been  a  longing  amongst  very  many  Urbanites 
to  have  a  country  home.  In  the  very  best  of  Smollet's  stories, 
"  The  Expedition  of  Humphrey  Clinker^Matthew  Bramble, 
the  hero  of  the  tale,  runs  across  an  old  college  companion 
who  had  been  a  barrister  in  London,  but  fell  heir  to  an  estate 
which  had  been  so  neglected  as  to  afford  small  rental,  and 
everything  sadly  dilapidated.  The  description  as  it  was  as 
follows : 

11  It  was  in  the  gloomy  month  of  November  when  I  arrived, 
and  found  the  house  in  such  a  condition  that  it  might  have 
been  justly  styled  the  tower  of  desolation.  The  court-yard  was 
covered  with  nettles  and  docks,  aud  the  garden  exhibited 
such  a  rank  plantation  of  weeds  as  I  had  never  seen  before; 
the  window  shutters  were  falling  in  pieces;  the  sashes  broken, 
and  owls  and  jack-daws  had  taken  possession  of  the  chimney." 
The  rest  of  the  picture  was  "in  keeping,"  and  his  friends 
thought  him  clean  daft  when  he  signified  his  intention  of 
giving  up  city  life  and  making  bis  home  in  so  uncongenial  a 
location.  But  in  recounting  the  history  to  his  friend,  he 
romes  lo  the  brighter  side.  "  I  reserved  in  my  own  hands 
some  acres  of  ground  adjacent  to  the  house,  for  making  exper- 
iments in  agriculture,  according  to  the  directions  of  Lyle, 
Pull,  Hart,  Dubrainel  and  others,  who  have  written  on  the 
subject,  and  qualified  their  theory  with  the  practical  observa- 
tions of  Farmer  Bland,  who  was  my  great  master  in  the  art 
of  husbandry.  In  short,  I  became  enamored  of  a  country 
life,  and  my  success  greatly  exceeded  my  expectation  I 
drained  bogs,  burned  heath,  grubbed  ud  furze  and  fern  ;  I 
planted  copse  and  willows  when  nothing  else  would  grow ; 
I  gradually  enclosed  all  my  farms,  and  made  such  improve- 
ments that  my  estate  now  yields  me  twelve  hundred  pounds 
a  year.  All  this  time  my  wife  and  I  have  enjoyed  uninter- 
rupted health  and  a  regular  flow  of  spirits,  except  on  a  very 
few  occasions,  when  our  cheerfulness  was  invaded  by  such 
accidents  as  are  inseparable  from  the  condition  of  life." 

In  addition  to  Farmer  Bland  he  had  another  mentor  in 
the  person  of  a  retired  navy  officer,  "  an  universal  genius," 
who  taught  him  all  the  accomplishments  which  would  be 
valuable  in  his  new  life.  Again  quoting :  "  Heand  I  walked 
and  rode,  and  hunted  and  fiahed  together,  without  minding 
the  vicissitudes  of  the  weather;  and  I  am  persuaded,  that  in 
a  raw,  moist  climate  like  this  of  England,  continual  exercise 
is  as  necessary  as  food  to  the  preservation  of  the  individual." 

The  whole  picture  is  a  pleasing  illustration  of  the  enjoy- 
ments of  the  country,  but  if  to  those  presented  horse  breeding 
had  been  added  it  would  have  been  nearly  complete.  As 
Humphrey  Clinker  was  published  one  hundred  and  twenty- 
four  years  ago.  and  Smollet  had  little  knowledge  of  the  turf, 
as  his  writings  show,  it  could  not  be  expected  that  he  would 
embody  this  most  delightful  and  fascinating  portion  of  coun- 
try life  in  the  story.  That  was  before  the  first  Derby  was 
decided  and  anterior  to  the  time  when  racehorse  breeding 
became  so  general  among  the  gentry  of  Great  Britain,  Smol- 
lett's countrymen,  who  in  later  years  took  an  active  part  in 
turf  sports,  being  more  interested  in  other  recreations.  Still 
it  was  the  Stuarts  who  gave  the  turf  its  first  kingly  support 
and  from  the  reign  of  King  James  the  governing  families 
have  been  supporter  of  the  "  royal  sport."  Not  always  to  its 
honor  as  George  IV.  was  virtually  warned  off  Newmarket 
Heath  for  the  transgressions  of  his  jockey. 

The  old-time  conservators  of  the  morals  of  the  turf  were 
not  as  cute  as  the  present  day  magnates  of  the  track  as  a 
"swinging  fine  "  or  a  verdict  of  approval  of  Chisney's  course 
would  have  silenced  the  clamor  over  the  misdeeds  of  the 
"  first  gentleman  in  England." 

In  describing  the  well-managed  estate  of  "  Mr.  Denison,'1 
had  the  picture  contained  a  blood  mare  and  foal  on  the  lawn, 
a  group  of  them  under  the  oaks  in  the  park,  a  joyous  band 
of  "  lissome  limbed  "  youngsters  capering  over  the  pasture 
fields  with  the  proprietor  and  his  friend  Wilson  descanting 
on  their  merits;  the  crowning  pleasure  of  farm  life  would 
have  been  depicted.  "  The  Druid  "  has  portrayed  this  phase 
of  English  life  very  pleasingly,  and  some  of  the  novelists  of 
that  country  have  issued  sketches  which  brought  the  racing 
world  on  the  boards  in  a  way  to  make  a  fair  representation  of 
lurf  scenes.  But  the  home  pleasures,  akin  to  the  enjoyment 
of  making  improvements  such  as  Mr.  Denisoo  describes, 
have  not  been  given  so  much  prominence.  Dr.  Dixon  has 
traced  a  few  lines,  an  etching  of  Sledmere,  when  "  old  "  Sir 
Tat  ton  was  still  hale  and  hearty  in  his  eightieth  year,  and 
cleverly  too.  the  mares  in  the  Diall's  Field,  Swales  wold, 
Cherry  Wood  End,  The  Cottage  Pasture,  Craggs  Flat,  The 
Castle  Field  and  the  King's  Field  are  depicted.  There  were 
fifty-five  mares  in  the  Park,  and  something  over  a  hundred  in 
all  belonging  to  Sir  Tatton  Sykes,  and  the  stud  groom  who 
acted  as  Cicerone  wa^  chock  full  of  reminiscences  of  them 
and  their  near  kin. 

Fascinating  in  the  extreme,  when  there  is  a  slight  leaning 
to  the  horse,  is  the  breeding  and  rearing  of  thoroughbreds, 
though  in  this  country  the  attractions  of  the  light-harness 
horse  brigade  are  superior. 

In  Great  Britain  the  race  course,  the  hunting-field  and  the 
park  are  the  magnets.and  with  pure  blood  for  the  first-named, 
nearly  so  for  thesecond.and  the  harness  hackney  for  the  third 
the  bill  is  filled.  Of  course  the  coach-horse,  the  machiner 
and  the  draft  horse  are  bred  in  great  perfection  in  that  horsey 
country,  but  these  rank  with  the  production  of  prize  beef  and 
mutton  breeds,  rather  too  utitarian,  and  consequently  less 
sentiment  involved  than  the  blood-horse  awakens.  Here,  al- 
though there  are  many  establishments  where  breeding  race- 
horses are  conducted  on  a  larger  scale  than  in  any  other 
portion  of  the  world,  the  trotters  and  pacers  have  a  far  larger 
number  of  votaries. 

Few  racehorses  are  bred  outside  of  placed  which  are  espec- 
ially fitted  for  their  production,  and  now-a-davs  nearly  all 
make  the  yearling  sale  ring  the  objective  point.  Still  en- 
ticing beyond  the  money  return,  though  the  greatest  fascina- 
tion, viz  ,  the  breeding  anil  racing  animals  which  will  carry 
the  colors  of  their  breeders  no  longer  exists.  In  place  of 
looking  forward  to  the  time  when  a  winner  will  be  led  back 
to  scale  by  a  proud  owner,  who  has  watched  it  from  the  time 
it  was  staggering  by  the  side  of  its  dam,  seen  its  galbps  and 
trials,  and  noted  with  eager  expectancy  every   indication  of 


future  greatness,  the  query  will  be  :  How  much  will  it  bring 
at  the  auction  ?  Not  entirely  devoid  of  sentiment  though 
the  guage  has  more  dollar  marks  than  symbols  of  glory  in- 
scribed on  its  sides.  The  cups  and  plates  on  the  sideboard, 
which  bore  evidence  that  the  cherished  blood  has  been  often- 
times victorious  were  valued  as  honored  heirlooms  in  keep- 
ing with  the  family  pictures  in  the  hall,  a  portion  of  the 
family  greatness,  a  fitting  accompaniment  to  the  broad  acres 
on  which  the  winners  were  reared. 

Racing  was  truly  a  royal  sport  in  ihese  halcyon  days  of  the 
turf,  surrounded  with  an  halo  of  glory  which  cast  the  trotters 
into  a  deeD  shade.  While  the  racehorse  added  to  the  stand- 
ing of  nobility  and  gentry,  m  the  land  which  had  brought  it 
to  such  importance,  while  the  ownership  of  trotter  was  held 
to  be  a  mark  of  vulgar  tastes,  if  not  positively  disreputable. 
The  same  feeling  prevailed  in  this  country  so  loog  as  trotting 
racehorses  were  the  result  of  chance  selection,  but  when  sys- 
tematic breeding  took  the  place  of  accidental  discovery  of 
trotting  speed,  there  came  a  change.  Slow  at  first,  though 
gaining  impetus  as  years  progressed,  until  the  breeding  of 
trotters  was  on  the  same  plane  as  the  production  of  race- 
horses so  far  as  respectability  went,  with  a  far  larger  number 
of  "representative  men"  engaged  in  the  pursuit.  Therefore, 
a  farm  in  the  United  States  of  America  would  not  lose  pres- 
tige as  it  would  have  done  in  the  past  in  England,  by  being 
the  nursery  of  trotters,  and  however  exalted  the  station  in 
public  life  of  its  owner,  his  standing  would  not  be  effected  in 
point  of  fact,  the  breeding  and  rearing  trotting  horses  and 
trotting  them,  too,  would  gain  far  more  friends  than  would  be 
lost  on  the  side  of  the  ultra  bigoted,  a  small  fraction  of  the 
American  people. 

Then  there  would  be  no  incongruity  in  a  person  of  char- 
acter such  as  Smollet  describes  in  the  person  of  Mr.  Denison, 
being  a  breeder  of  trotters  and  captivating  as  the  breeding  of 
racehorses  is,  there  are  fully  as  many  pleasurable  sensations 
connected  with  the  rearing  of  trotters.  Apart  from  the  stim- 
ulus of  rearing  winners  in  both  fields,  there  are  a  greater  ya- 
riety  of  problems  to  be  solved,  and  the  "glorious  uncertainty" 
heightened  by  the  greater  complexity.

'Owners  to  Drive." — I  have  mentioned  the  pleasure 
there  is  in  breeding  fast  horses.  As  an  addition  to  the  attrac- 
tions of  country  life  it  can  scarcely  be  excelled  to  all  those 
who  have  a  fondness  for  horses.  In  England  where  the 
hunting  field  is  par  excellence,  the  winter  amusement  the 
thoroughbred  occupies  the  first  place,  as  only  those  which 
possess  a  large  share  of  that  blood  can  go  t.ie  pace  which 
is  set  by  modern  foxhounds.  Here  the  road  takes  the  place 
of  the  hunting  field,  and,  winter  and  summer,  fast  trotters 
and  pacers  do  their  part  to  furnish  pleasurable  excitement 
to  those  who  drive.  Then  the  track  has  more  votaries 
than  the  course  when  the  whole  country  is  canvassed,  and 
opportunities  for  fast  driving  are  found  in  nearly  every 
town  in  all  sections  of  the  United  States.  A  penchant  for 
light  harness  horses  is  so  generally  distributed  that  it  may  be 
termed  universal,  and  it  is  quite  safe  to  state  that  there  is  not 
a  township  in  all  of  the  northern  states,  excepting 
such  as  have  natural  obstacles  to  fast  driving,  without  some 
animals  with  pretentions  to  speed.  But  universal  as  the  de- 
sire may  be  to  indulge  in  horses  which  can  pull  a  wagon  or  a 
sleigh  at  a  rate  which  will  afford  satisfaction  to  the  driver, 
and  to  breed  those  who  will  gratify  that  want  and  also  gain 
distinction  on  the  track,  were  more  encouragement  given  for 
owners  to  drive  in  races  there  would  follow  a  more  ardent 
wish  for  gratification.  Very  pleasant  to  go  over  a  smooth 
road  at  a  fast  rate  without  competition.  Decidedly  enjoya- 
ble when  the  animal  is  of  a  proper  class,  although  there  is 
only  the  driver  to  share  in  the  delight  of  the  brush,  the  horse, 
of  course,  being  a  partner  in  the  play.  Wiih  contention,  an 
eager  struggle  for  mastery,  the  pleasure  is  intensified,  men  and 
horses  exhilerated  to  a  high  degree.  With  all  the  solid  sat- 
isfaction, the  pleasure  and  gratification  which  are  found  in 
road-driving,  there  is  more  intense  enjoyment  in  driving 
races,  especially  when  the  reinsman  is  the  owner.  The  feel- 
ing that  only  professionals  are  competent,  that  there  are  re- 
quirements necessary  for  success  in  this  department  of  the 
horse  world  which  are  rarely  met  outside  o(  the  class  which 
make  it  a  business,  is  an  erroneous  estimate,  and  which  will 
be  dispelled  when  opportunities  are  oflered  to  give  practical 
illustrations.  The  success  of  Mr.  Ketchum  of  Toledo,  Ohio, 
and  Mr.  Case  of  Racine,  Wisconsin,  should  encourage  others 
in  similar  situations.  These  gentlemen  have  driven  their 
horses  in  competition  with  the  most  renowned  professional 
knights  of  the  sulky  without  losing  by  the  comparison,  and 
there  is  little  doubt  that  very  many  of  the  men  who  are  en- 
gaged inbreeding  trotters  who  would  prove  equally  as  suc- 
cessful if  brought  to  the  test.  Were  more  races  given  in 
which  the  condition  of  "owners  to  drive"  were  incorporated, 
it  would  not  be  long  until  there  would  De  plenty  of  compet- 
itors. It  might  be  advisable  to  increase  the  weight  so  that 
extra  advoirpois  would  not  be  a  drawback,  though  a  number 
of  the  professionals  are  adversely  handicapped  by  the  exist- 
ing itileand  without  being  "weighted  out  of  the  race"  at  that.

Pacers  for  the  Road. — A  few  days  ago  a  gentleman 
who  owns  several  fast  trotters  was  making  enquiries  where 
he  could  purchase  a  pacer  for  road-driving.  The  tide  has 
surely  turned,  and  in  place  of  it  being  thought  a  discredit  for 
a  gentleman  to  drive  a  pacer,  it  now  seems  that  they  are 
destined  to  be  the  "  top  of  the  fashion."  "  The  trotting-bred 
pacer"  has  had  a  big  influence  in  stemming  the  flood  of  pre- 
judice, which  carried  everything  before  it  for  so  many  years. 
I  have  not  been  favored  with  the  opportunity  to  know  much 
of  the  celebrated  pacing  families  which  have  gained  distinc- 
tion of  late,  but  very  many  of  the  old-time  pacers  were  such 
swaying,  swinging  brutes,  with  such  a  jerky  motion,  that  it 
was  nearly  as  disageeable  to  the  driver  as  a  galloper.  The 
fastest  of  this  section  have  scarcely  any  of  that  oscillating 
movement.  In  place  of  forming  a  series  of  curves  the  feet 
are  carried  in  as  nearly  a  straight  line  as  is  made  by  the  trot- 
ters;  in  fact,  with  less  apparent  effort  than  is  made  in  the 
diagonal  movement.  I  mean  by  our  fastest  pacers  those 
which  have  endurance  as  well  as  speed,  as  it  may  be  that  for 
a  short  brush  the  opposite  gait  will  be  on  a  par,  though  I  am 
not  of  that  opinion.  For  the  road,  however,  the  straight- 
forward pacer,  one  whose  feet  are  marking  a  tangent  in  place 
of  a  curve,  is  decidedly  superior.  Many  years  ago  I  met  a 
livery  stable  keeper  from  New  Orleans  in  St.  Louis,  his  mis- 
sion beirg  to  buy  pacers.     He  informed  me  that  all  of  his 


horses  were  pacers,  the  "  shell  road  "  knocking  the  trotters  to  < 
pieces  in  short  order,  whereas  the  pacers  had  a  far  longer 
term  of  usefulness.  The  idea  that  the  pacing  habit  was  in 
close  conjunction  with  decided  inferiority  of  form  is  not  war- 
ranted by  the  present  showing.  The  drooping  rump,  cat- 
hammed,  crooked  hock,  narrow-chested,  ewe-necked'quadru- 
ped  that  paced  from  lacking  power  to  progress  at  the  trot 
is  of  rare  occurrence,  and  I  will  venture  the  prophesy  that 
when  the  big  fields  of  pacers  come  together  during  the  circuit 
there  will  be  plenty  of  good-looking  animals  among  them. 
It  is  very  fortunate  that  pacers  henceforth  are  not  likely  to 
be  tabooed  on  the  road  as  in  days  of  yore,  as  with  the  chaoge 
in  training  it  is  quite  likely,  that  even  were  the  pacing  fam- 
ilies ignored,  the  strictly-bred  trotting  tribes  will  show  a 
great  many  pacers.  Preponderating,  perhaps,  for  it  is  not  a 
"  foregone  conclusion  "  that  with  appliances  to  encourage  the 
propensity,  with  rewards  when  obedient,  and  punishment 
when  deviating  from  the  lateral  movement,  that  bred  on  the 
most  rigid  trotting  lines  that  trotters  will  be  in  the  majority.

Grand  Prospects. — When  the  tumble  came  in  the  prices 
for  trotters,  and  I  ventured  the  prophecy  that  the  "slump  " 
would  be  advantageous  to  the  sports  of  the  track,  it  was 
thought  by  those  who  were  far  down-in-the-moath  over  the 
prospect,  the  most  absurd  vaticination  that  could  be  promul- 
gated. 

That,  as  predicted,  the   number  of  horses  in  training  to 
take  part  in  races  has  been  largely  increased  is  beyond  reas  - 
onable  contradition. 

No  longer  a  horde  of  them  in  preparation  for  tin-cup  cam- 
paigns. The  large  army  which  had  divisions  in  all  parts  of 
the  country  has  dwindled  until  beggarly  squads  in  isolated 
places,  and  this  arrant  humbug  has  has  had  its  quietus  beyond 
all  hopes  of  reconcilation.  That  craze  has  been  replaced  by 
a  healthy  return  to ''business  principles."  Not  that  it  was 
not  a  good  venture  when  good  money  was  sure  to  come  from 
exhibitions  which  decoyed  people  into  an  adoration  over  the 
performers. 

Bright  the  cloud  which  enveloped  the  "  carpet  knight "  in 
the  days  when  time  tournaments  were  in  vogue.  Once  rifted 
and  the  golden-tinted  vapor  took  the  hue  of  lead, the  gorgeous 
grounds,  the  banners,  the  emblazonry  vanished,  the 
trumpets  which  sounded  notes  of  victory  silent,  dirges  in 
place  of  paeans.  There  was  one  good  result.  The  colts  and 
noises  reared  to  take  part  in  mimic  strife  were  in  readiness 
for  actual  battles  when  make-believe  could  not  attract  any 
longer.  When  the  stage,  on  which  their  kin  had  "strutted 
for  half  an  hour,"  was  broken  down,  there  was  the  open  field 
to  display  their  speed  upon,  and  gallant  the  response. 

The  associations  were  not  backward  in  offering  suitable  en- 
couragement, and  so  far  it  has  not  been  offered  in  vain.  Peta- 
luma  and  Woodland,  the  last  places  to  close  their  entries, 
keep  up  the  grand  showing.  Woodland  has  won  the  banner 
fairly  and  in  one  class  has  distanced  competition,  if  my 
recollection  is  not  greviously  at  fault.  Thirty-five  entries  in 
the  2:35  pacing  purse,  aDd  if  this  is  not  the  greatest  number 
of  pacers  ever  entered  in  one  purse  I  am  far  wrong  in  the 
estimate.  As  pacers  are  less  liable  to  "  go  wrong."  and  with  a 
better  show  to  improve  in  speed  when  first  put  in  training, 
than  trotters,  I  shall  not  be  surprised  should  there  be  twenty- 
odd  of  them  ready  for  the  fray. 

Petaluma  and  Woodland  enjoy  the  good  will  of  owners  and 
drivers,  and  this  without  any  lack  of  firmness  in  enforcing 
the  rules.  Liberal  treatment  and  a  desire  to  make  it  as  pleas- 
ant as  can  be  while  guest  of  the  associations 
have  been  duly  appreciated.  That  the  protection 
of  the  interests  of  those  who  "  make  the  races,"  should 
be  of  paramount  importance  to  the  future  well-doing  of  the 
meetings  is  apparent,  and  whenever  it  is  possible  to  gratify 
their  wishes,  without  laxity  of  government,  it  is  good  policy 
to  conform. 

With  the  hegira  of  so  many  California  horses  to  the  far-off 
side  of  the  country-the  impression  prevails  in  the  East  that 
the  home  guard  must  be  limited  in  numbers,  and  of  compara- 
tively small  importance.  Those  who  see  the  entries  will  be 
convinced  that  so  far  as  numbers  are  necessary,  an  exuber- 
ance of  material  is  provided,  and  from  all  the  training  grounds 
come  the  most  rosy  accounts  regarding  the  promise  of  those 
who  will  participate  in  the  home  struggles.  Anomalous 
though  it  may  seem,  California  sport  will  be  better  subserved 
by  the  absence  of  a  few  of  the  Eastern-bound  warriors.  So 
many  grounds  for  accusations  that  however  straight  in  their 
conduct  hereafter  the  taint  of  the  past  would  cling  like  the 
order  of  a  polecat  to  their  garments,  the  tortuous  trail  so 
broadly  and  deeply  marked  that  the  angles  and  curves  could 
hardly  be  obliterated. 


Long  Races. — There  is  scarcely  a  question  that  the  "  pub- 
lic" will  heartily  welcome  even  that  trifling  change  in  a 
trotting  programme  which  is  marked  by  one  deviation  from 
the  old,  and  not  very  old,  formula,  best  3  in  5,  one  mile  at  a 
time.  That  is  so  much  gained.  Then  there  is  another  ad- 
vantage which  has  a  direct  bearing  on  breeders'  interests.  A 
world  of  speed  is  neccessary  nowadays  to  win  any  of  these 
races  when  1760  yards  from  start  to  finish  is  the  whole  dis- 
tance to  be  overcome,  and  the  slow  division,  even  when  the 
falling  ofl  is  only  a  few  seconds  to  the  mile,  are  worthless  for 
racing  purposes.  Two  miles  still  bar  those  which  are  troubled 
with  slight  symptoms  of  slows,  and  three  have  to  be  negotia- 
ted at  a  clip  which  would  startle  the  horseman  of  the  days 
of  Dutchman  et.  al. 

Heats  of  four  miles  have  recommendations  outside  of  nov- 
elty. A  test  of  repeating  capacity  though  with  forty  minutes 
to  recover^from  the  fatigue  itjmust  be  an  underbred  cur  which 
cannot  come  back  fairly  well. 

The  rules  are  not  as  clear  now  in  regard  to  rl  distance  "as 
formerly.  HeaUof  three  miles  220  yards  is  the  furthest  pro- 
vided for  whereas  in  the  old  it  was  for  every  additional  mile 
and  additional  eighty  yards  when  2  in  3  prevailed.  As  the 
regular  progression  is  seventy  yards  added  for  each  mile  to 
three,  it  would  appear  to  be  nearest  in  accordance  with  the 
code  to  make  the  distance  in  heats  of  four  miles  290  yards. 

Inasmuch  as  the  time  between  heats  of  four  miles  is  pro- 
vided for  it  must  have  been  an  oversight  to  lower  the  distance 
out.  Jos.  Cairn  Simpson. 

There  is  considerable  dissatisfaction  at  St.  Louis  over  the 
starting  of  Richard  Dwyer.     He  has  been  sending  the  horses 
'  away  to  straggling  send-offs  and   besides   has  set  the  popular 
jockey,  Frank  Jordan,  down  indefinitely.

Conducted  by  Wm.  F.  Egan  M.  R.  C.  V.  3.,  F.  E,  V.  M. 

Subscribers  to  this  paper  can  have  advice  through  this  column  in 
all  cases  of  sick  or  injared  horses  or  cattle  by  sending  an  explicit  de- 
scription of  the  cases.  Applicants  will  send  their  name  and~addrees, 
that  they  may  be  identified.  Questions  requiring  answers  by  mail 
should  be  accompanied  by  two  dollars  and  addressed  to  Wm.  F.  Egan, 
SI.  R.  C  V.  S..1117  Golden  Gate  Ave..  San  Francisco. 


J.  B-,  Ukiah,  Cal. — A  peculiar  case  has  come  under  my 
observation  here.  A  friend  of  mine  recently  castrated  a  colt. 
The  animal  seemed  to  recover  all  right  for  a  few  days,  when 
it  went  stone  blind.  There  seems  to  be  do  other  trouble  with 
it.  Have  you  heard  of  such  a  case  before,  and  if  so  can  you 
give  cause  of  blindaessand  what  cure,  ;f  any,  for  same?  An- 
swer.— The  shock  to  the  nervous  system  caused  paralysis  of 
the  optic  nerve,  which  is  the  nerve  of  vision.  Treatment 
may  restore  sight.  Examine  the  colt's  eye  in  a  moderate 
light,  then  bring  him  in  a  strong  light  and  see  if  the  pupils 
contract.  See  if  there  be  any  unnatural  appearance  about 
eyes,  and  if  the  colt  can  see  even  a  little,  give  age  of  colt,snd 
breed,  whether  finely  bred  or  not. 

Reader,  San  Jose,  Cal. — I  have  a  mare  that  was  not  prop- 
erly dried  up  when  I  put  her  out  at  pasture.  I  did  not  see 
her  for  a  month  and  a  half,  and  her  udder  swelled  aod  broke. 
I  had  her  bathed  with  hot  water  and  applied  salve  to  it  made 
of  Gimson  weed.  It  seemed  to  get  along  fine.  There  are  two 
or  three  sores;  they  look  like  boils  on  her  udder.  If  you 
will  inform  me  how  to  cure  her  you  will  greatly  oblige  a 
reader  of  your  paper.  I  have  looked  in  your  query  column, 
but  can  find  nothing  of  the  nature  of  my  question.  Answer — 
Open  the  boils  with  the  point  of  a  clean  lance,  bath  with 
warm  water,  having  about  a  teaspoonful  of  carbolic  acid  to 
the  quart,  two  or  three  times  a  day,  at  the  same  time  pressing 
out  all  the  pus  you  can.  If  the  holes  be  large  enough  to 
introduce  point  of  syringe,  syringe  them  out  with  same  solu- 
tion. After  bathiDg,  dry  the  part  and  rub  your  salve  well, 
but  not  roughly,  into  it,  and  draw  the  teats  to  get  milk  or 
pus  from  them.     Give  daily  exercise  and  keep  on  soft  food. 

Handling  the  Youngster. 


I  overheard  a  trainer  remark  the  other  day  that  he  had  a 
two-year-old  filly  whose  legs  tilled  up  quite  badly  after  jogging 
eight  or  ten  miles,  much  worse  than  after  giving  her  fast 
woik,  and  expressed  much  surprise  that  such  should  be  the 
case.  In  the  first  place,  allow  me  to  remark,  parenthetically, 
'hat  I  am  still  looking  for  the  man  who  can  give  me  any 
scientific  or  practical  reason  for  jogging  a  two-year-old  eight 
or  ten  miles.  Gentlemen,  "  please  rise  and  explain."  But 
the  reason  the  filly's  legs  fill  worse  after  a  long,  tiresome  jog 
than  after  short,  sharp  work  is  not  far  to  seek,  when  the  real 
conditions  are  considered.  The  leg,  bstween  the  knee  or  hock 
and  coronet,  is  made  up  of  a  network  of  bone,  cartilage,  ten- 
don, sinew,  membrane,  nerve,  arteries,  veins,  lymphatics,  all 
performing  their  appropriate  functions. 

In  a  state  of  perfect  health  the  leg  presents  that  clean, 
cordy  appearance,  the  delight  of  every  horseman,  the  normal 
condition  which  will  be  maintained  so  long  a3  all  the  organs 
of  the  system  continue  to  perform  their  allotted  fanctions. 

And  since  there  seems  to  be  a  prevailing  notion  among 
horsemen  to  the  contrary,  let  me  state  right  here  that  there  is 
not  a  vestige  of  muscle  in  this  region  of  the  horse's  leg,  Otto 
Rbon,  the  scientific  horse  shoer,  to  the  contrary,  notwith- 
standing, who  says :  "  To  shoe  the  horse  properly  the  farrier 
must  be  absolutely  able  to  name  and  locate  every  muscle, 
bone  and  sinew  below  the  horse's  hock  and  knee." 

The  great  source  from  which  all  the  material  to  supply 
the  wear  and  tear  and  waste  of  this  complicated  mechanism 
comes  is  the  blood.  The  blood  contains,  in  solution,  every 
element  of  every  tissue  of  the  body,  even  to  the  hair  and  hoofs. 
After  having  been  purified  in  the  lungs  and  returned  to  the 
heart,  the  blood  is  carried  to  all  parts  of  the  body  by  means 
of  the  arteries,  which  divide  and  subdivide  until  they  have 
become  almost  inappreciably  small — capillaries  whose  rami- 
fications permeate  every  tissue  of  the  body,  carrying  along 
and  distributing  the  material  to  replace  the  waste  continually 
going  on,  and  for  the  growth  of  the  young  animal. 

Supplementary  to  and  intimately  connected  with  the  ar- 
terial circulation  is  that  of  the  veins  and  lymphatics,  the 
function  of  which  is  to  remove  the  waste  and  overplus  ma- 
terial, excreting  the  former  from  the  body  through  the  pores 
of  the  skin  and  by  means  of  the  lungs,  and  returning  the  lat- 
ter to  the  circulation  for  future  use. 

The  veins  begin  where  the  arteries  leave  off.  That  is,  the 
capillaries  of  the  veins  have  their  origin  in  the  capillaries  of 
the  arteries,  and  while  the  flow  of  blood  in  the  arteries  is 
from  the  heart,  beginning  in  the  one  main  trunk,  dividing 
and  subdividing  down  to  the  capillaries,  the  reverse  is  the 
order  of  the  veins,  which  begin  in  the  capillaries,  gradually 
decrease  in  number  and  increase  in  size,  finally  concentrat- 
ing in  one  large  trunk,  which  empties  its  contents  into  the 
heart.  While  it  is  quite  apparent  that  the  heart  as  a  power- 
ful engine  to  force  the  blood  along  the  arteries  to  all  parts  of 
the  bodv,  even  along  the  capillaries,  there  is  no  such  force 
to  propel  the  blood  along  the  veins  on  its  return  to  the  heart. 
However,  there  is  evidently  one  force  which  assists  the  blood 
on  its  return  from  the  extremities — capillary  attraction. 

Suppose  a  series  of  glass  tubes,  varying  in  size  from  a  quar- 
ter of  an  inch  indiameter  dowD  to  the  size  of  a  hair,  be  in- 
serted perpendicularly  in  a  vessel  of  colored  water.  The 
liquid  will  be  seen  to  rise  up  a  short  distance  in  the  largest 
tube,  a  little  higher  in  the  next  smaller,  and  so  on  according 
to  the  diameter  of  the  tube,  showing  the  greatest  ascent  in  the 
smallest  tube. 

If  the  course  of  the  tendons  be  traced  from  their  attach- 
ments to  the  muscles  above  the  knee  or  hock,  down  to  their 
insertion  in  the  foot,  there  will  be  found  a  great  multiplicity 
of  bearings  over  which  and  through  which  the  tendons  are 
made  to  pass,  causing  more  or  less  friction  in  all  the  parts. 

There  is  also  much  friction  between  the  opposing  articu- 
lating surfaces  of  the  bones  at  the  various  points,  greatly  aug- 
mented by  the  concussive  force  of  the  body  thrown  upon  the 
leg  in  trotting. 

At  all  the  points  where  the  tendons  have  a  bearing,  nature 
has  provided  a  membrane,  or  gland,  called  a  synovial  mem- 
brane, or  gland,  which  secretes  a  lubricating  fluid,  called  the 
synovial  fluid. 


Where  the  tendons  pass  over  the  joints,  and  where  the 
pressure  is  considerable,  bursa,  or  small  sacs  are  found  to 
hold  the  synovial  fluid. 

The  articulating  surfaces  of  the  bones  at  the  joints  are  cov- 
ered with  a  fine,  smooth  layer  of  cartilage,  also  provided  with 
a  synovial  membrane  which  fornishes  the  synovial  fluid  for 
lubricating  the  joints. 

In  a  natural  state,  as  in  running  in  the  field  or  on  the  com-  ' 
mon,  summer  or  winter,  or  when  running  wild,  the  move-  | 
ments  of  the  horse  are  confined  most  of  the  time  to  the  walk,  i 
and  to  walking  most  all  the  time,  with  short,  occasional  in-  ] 
tervals  of  rapid  running — very  little  tro.tiog,  no  slow,  unin- 
terrupted jogging  for  eight  or  ten  miles. 

Now,  as  it  is  the  function  of  the  blood  to  supply  all  the 
working  material  for  every  organ  of  the  body,  drafts  are  made 
upon  the  blood  for  the  necessary  lubricant — synovial  fluid — 
for  all  the  joints  and  bearings  in  one  leg. 

A  long  jog  of  eight  or  ten  miles  is  an  unnatural,  or  abnor- 
mal, kind  of  exercise  for  the  youngster — in  fact,  any  klnd.of 
horse.  This  induces  a  loog-continued  flow  of  blood  to  the 
lower  part  of  the  lee,  with  a  consequent  secretion  of  the 
synovial  fluid  in  the  bursie,  or  sacs,  at  the  varions  bearings 
and  joints;  the  bursa  and  capillaries  become  abnormally  dis- 
tended, thus  diminishing  their  power  of  re-absorption. 

The  immediate  and  ultimate  effects  depend,  to  a  large  ex- 
tent, upon  certain  characteristics  or  each  individual — the 
general  health,  the  power  and  activity  of  the  circulation,  and 
especially  upon  the  strength  and  elasticity  of  the  walls  of  the 
capillaries  and  bursa.  If  these  retain  their  normal  tone, 
perhaps  no  visible  effects  may  retain  ;  but  if  otherwise,  other- 
wise. 

The  youngster  having  been  subjected  to  this  unnatural  jog 
of  eight  or  ten  miles,  a  prolonged  flow  of  blood  has  been 
maintained  to  the  legs  and  feet,  aod  a  consequent  secretion  of 
the  synovial  fluid  engorging  the  sacs  and  bursa,  whose  walls, 
having  to  some  extent  lost  their  elasticity,  fail  to  contract  and 
so  force  the  fluid  to  return  to  the  circulation.  This  is  mani- 
fest to  the  eye  by  the  small  enlargements  -windpuffs — seen 
about  the  pastern  joints,  and  the  filling  of  the  legs. 

By  the  long  jog  the  whole  system  has  become  tired  and 
relaxed,  so  as  to  impair  the  contractile  property  of  the  vesi- 
cles of  the  leg,  thus  inducing  a  condition  and  a  sort  of  action 
in  the  leg  the  least  to  be  desired  ;  whereas,  short,  sharp  work 
has  the  opposite  effect,  which  is  the  kind  of  action  required  in 
the  organs  in  performing  a  fast  mile,  and  recovering  from  its 
efiects. — J.  W.  Mercer,  in   Clark's  Horse  Review. 


Ramspo  "Wins  the  Suburban. 


The  O'Kane    Sulky  Brake. 

The  many  accidents  that  have  occurred  to  drivers  since 
the  advent  of  bike  sulkies  caused  by  the  horses  rearing  and 
the  overturning  of  the  light  vehicles  in  which  these  men  were 
seated,  have  caused  many  of  our  foremost  inventors  to  give 
the  subject  of  preventing  these  accidents  to  the  drivers  consid- 
erable thought.  J.  O'Kane,  the  well-known  horse  boot  man- 
ufacturer, is  the  first  one  in  the  field  to  show  a  picture  of  his 
new  brake  for  which  a  patent  h^s  been  applied.  It  is  so 
simple  that  anyone  can  understand  its  merits.  The  roller  on 
the  end  of  the  rod  will  touch  the  ground  as  the  animal  rears 
and  will  move  outward  but  not  inward  and  thus  keep  the 
sulky  from  running  beneath  the  animal's  hocks  and  upsetting 
both  the  horse  and  the  driver.  For  its  price  no  driver  who 
values  his  life  should  be  without  a  pair  of  these  accident  pre- 
venters on  his  sulky.  Their  many  excellent  features  will  ap- 
peal at  once  to  the  good  sense  of  all  who  are,  or  have  been ,  in 
anyway  connected  with  the  training  and  developing  of  light 
harness  horses. 

Ha^tbletonias  10,  Ethan  Allen  43  and  Geo.  M.  Patchen 
30  were  each  foaled  the  same  year,  1849.  The  first  and  sec- 
ond horses  lived  to  be  about  the  same  age,  both  having  died 
during  the  year  1876.  The  former  had  the  best  opportunities 
in  the  stud,  and  consequently  produced  the  greatest  number 
of  colts,  having  up  to  date  out  of  his  production  forty  2:30 
trotters,  142  sires  of  1,232  trotters  and  99  pacers,  79  dams  of 
95  trotters  and  5  pacers.  Ethan  Allen  was  on  the  turf  for 
quite  a  number  of  years,  and  was  moved  from  one  place  to 
another,  and  hence  did  not  begin  to  get  near  the  number  of 
foals  that  Hambletonian  10  did  ;  but  during  his  life  he  sired 
6  trottere,  and  22  sires  that  have  89  trotters  and  three  pacers, 
and  17  dams  of  20  trotters.  The  last  horse,  Geo.  M.  Patchen, 
lived  to  be  but  fifteen  years  of  age  and  was  most  of  that  time 
on  the  turf,  during  which  time  he  held  the  stallion  record  for 
nine  years,  yet  out  of  his  short  and  meagre  career  in  the  stud 
he  has  left  four  trotters,  fourteen  sires  with  61  trotters  and 
two  pacers  and  four  dams  of  five  trotters.  These  great  stal- 
lions have  each  founded  great  families,  but  Hambletonian  is 
the  greatest  of  them  all  according  to  the  records.  Two  of 
them  were  champion  stallions  and  held  the  world's  records 
for  some  little  time,  and  while  Hambletonian  never  obtained 
a  record,  it  has  been  said  of  him  that  he  could  show  a  good 
forty  gait. 

A  special  from  New  York  to  a  Chicago  paper  says: 
Byron  McClelland  gave  the  Morris  Park  ring  a  severe 
scorching  in  the  last  race  Thursday  a  week.  It  was  a  selling 
event,  and  he  got  his  bay  co't  bv  Faustus — Cleopatra  in  at 
100  pounds.  The  colt  openedat  30  tol,  went  to40,  and  then 
McClelland's  commission  went  on.  At  post  time  the  colt  had 
been  backed  down  to  15  to  1.  Harry  Jones  had  the  mount 
and  he  made  every  pole  a  winniog  one,  taking  no  chances  un- 
til within  sure  money  distance  of  the  wire.  The  colt  was  en- 
tirely pumped  out,  but  the  money  was  landed.  McClelland 
is  reported  to  have  woo  all  the  way  from  $30,000  to  $50,000 
by  bis  coup. 

John  A.  Logan  Jr.,  of  New  York,  has  announced  the 
sale  of  all  the  stock  on  his  famous  Oriole  stud  farm,  near 
Youngstown,  Ohio.  The  Oriole  stud  comprises  over  250  head 
and  is  valued  at  $100,000.  Among  the  famous  horses  is  the 
hackney  stallion,  Bonfire.  Bonfire  has  taken  dozens  of  blue 
ribbons,  and  his  owner  once  refused  $20,000  for  him.  Other 
stock  to  be  sold  includes  imported  and  native  hackneys,  high- 
class  saddle  and  harness  horses,  trained  ponies,  cabs  and  car- 
riage horses  and  heavy  and  light-weight  hunters. 

There  are  people  alive  in  Maine  who  remember  the  Eat- 
on horse,  the  sire  of  "the  Great  American" — Shepherd  F. 
Knapp,  who  did  so  much  to  develop  the  Hackney  type  in 
England  and  France.  Those  who  know  the  Eaton  horse  say 
his  action  was  very  high  and  bold.  It  is  interesting,  there- 
fore, to  know  that  Shepherd  F.  Knapp's  action  was  not  an  ac- 
quired character,  but  was  inherited.

New  York,  June  21. — Suburban  day  came  in  hot,  but  be- 
fore the  first  race  was  run  the  breeze  from  the  land  died  out 
and  just  a*  the  horses  went  went  to  the  post  a  cool  breeze 
from  the  sea  made  the  heat  a  trifle  more  bearable,  although  it 
was  still  too  warm  to  move  about.  The  attendance  was  about 
25,000,  by  no  means  as  great  as  on  Brooklyn  handicap  day 
at  Gravesend,  but  still  there  was  an  uncomfortable  crowd. 
There  was  a  long  delay  at  the  post,  and  finally  "  They're  off  '■ 
was  heard. 

Griffin,  always  a  quick  boy  to  get  ofl,  rushed  to  the  front 
immediately  wich  Kinglet,  but  be  only  got  a  length  away 
when  Banquet  shot  after  him,  followed  by  Ramapo,  Pick- 
pocket and  Henry  of  Navarre.  The  pace  was  not  pushed, 
Griffin  taking  hold  of  Kinglet's  head  and  reaching  the  quar- 
ter post  in  25A  seconds,  a  length  in  front  of  Banquet,  Ramapo, 
Pickpocket  and  Henry  of  Navarre  all  lengths  apart. 

The  pace  quickened  a  trifle  after  leaving  the  quarter  post, 
but  Kinglet  still  lead  by  a  length  at  the  half,  which  was 
reached  in  0:51£,  Banquet  second,  lapDed  to  the  head  by 
Ramapo,  Pickpocket  and  Henry  of  Navarre  being  close  up. 
Kinglet  then  began  to  tire,  he  having  performed  his  duty  of 
pacemaker  for  his  stable  companion,  Ramapo,  in  clever  stvle. 
Passing  to  the  three-quarter  pole  game  old  Banquet  made 
a  bold  bid  for  vic'ory  and  taking  the  lead  from  Kinglet 
showed  the  way  into  the  homestretch,  but  only  on  sufferance, 
however,as  Taral  seeing  Kinglet  give  it  up,  went  to  work  on 
Ramapo,  and  with  giant  strides  the  favorite  slowly  but  surely 
overhauled  Banquet,  while  Sir  Walter  forged  into  third  place, 
Sport  coming  up  fast. 

All  through  the  homestretch  it  was  an  easy  thing  for 
Ramapo,  who  won  easily  by  a  length.  The  vast  throng  of 
excited  race-goers  threw  their  hats  and  handkerchiefs  about 
in  token  of  admiration  for  the  victor.  Banquet,  whipped  and 
spurred,  but  all  to  no  purpose  so  far  as  the  first  money  was 
concerned,  struggled  into  second  place  three  lengths  before 
Sport,  with  Henry  of  Navarre  and  Perkins  in  the  ruck.  The 
time  was  2:06  1-6,  which  is  very  fast  for  theSheepshead  Bav 
track.  The  mile  was  run  in  l:40i,  after  which  the  pace  fell 
oft. 

Ringlet  had  them  leg  weary  during  the  first  part  of  the 
journey,  leaving  his  stable  companion  to  win  the  rich  prize 
for  Gideon  and  Daly.  Taral  is  the  hero  of  the  hour,  he  hav- 
ing rode  the  winners  in  the  Brooklyn  handicap,  in  the  Metro- 
politan handicap  and  the  Suburban  handicap  of  1894,  being 
the  only  jockey  ever  performing  the  feat. 

The  crowd  rushed  to  the  jockey  staod  and  Taral  was  car- 
ried oft  to  his  room.  He  was  out  of  his  silks  in  a  few  sec- 
onds, it  seemed,  and  then  before  the  race  had  been  over  ten 
minutes  was  out  of  the  grounds  on  his  way  to  Chicago  to  ride 
Domino  in  the  American  Derby.  His  face  was  wreathed  in 
smiles,  has  he  had  won  the  triple  event,  and  in  good  style. 

Ramapo,  who  captured  the  Suburban  handicap  in  the  fast- 
est time  on  record  for  the  rich  handicap,  is  a  chestnut  colt  by 
either  Pontiac  or  Runnymede.  The  dam  of  Ramapo  is 
Annie  F.  In  fact,  Ramapo  was  known  as  the  Annie  F.  colt 
in  all  his  races  as  a  two-year-old.  In  1892  Ramapo  started 
eleven  times  and  was  first  four  times.  Ramapo  showed  up 
well  in  his  three-year-old  form,  but  he  was  not  at  his  best  un- 
til long  after  the  American  Derby  was  run.  He  started  in  the 
event,  but  finished  eleventh.  In  his  nineteen  races  after  thfl 
Derby  he  was  first  eight  times,  second  seven  times  and  third 
twice,  so  he  really  ran  unplaced  on  but  two  occasions. 

At  Monmouth,  Ramapo  won  a  mile  race  run  in  the  fast 
time  of  1:39$.  This  most  notable  victory  was  in  the  Omni- 
bus, when  he  beat  St.  Leonard,  Sir  Walter  and  other  good 
three-year-olds.  He  also  won  the  Williamsbridge  handicap, 
with  117  pounds  in  the  saddle,  running  th  9  one  and  five-six- 
teenths miles  in  2:1  ~>,  which  is  within  three-quarters  of  a  sec- 
ond of  the  world's  record. 

Ramapo  went  to  the  post  a  favorite  yesterday  on  account 
of  bis  decisive  victory  in  the  Metropolitan  handicap  a  couple 
of  weeks  since-  He  is  owned  by  Gideon  it  Daly,  who  also 
owned  once  upon  a  time  Dr.  Rice,  the  winner  of  this  year's 
Brooklyn  handicap. 

The  fastest  time  heretofore  made  on  the  Suburban  was 
Lowlander's  2:06  3  5,  in  1891,  which  supplanted  Salvator's 
2:06  4-5.

Valuable  Information. 


A  correspondent  of  Hoard's  Dairyman  gives  an  outline  of 
his  experience  as  follows: 

Quite  »  number  of  times  I  have  had  cows  afflicted  with  an 
inflamed  condition  of  the  lower  inch  of  one  teat.  The  first  I 
notic-d  was  that  the  lower  half-inch  of  one  teat  was  feverish 
and  thickened,  and  on  trying  in  milk  that  teat  the  milk  came 
harder  than  usual.  When  1  didn't  know  any  better  1  kept 
on  squeezing  the  teat  and  trying  to  empty  that  quarter  of  the 
udder.  But  our  dairy  maid  had  read  that  it  was  best  to  stop 
milking  a  sore  teat  for  three  days.  I  did  so,  after  I  had 
ruined  the  teat  by  squeezing  it  for  a  week  or  two.  The  teat 
ever  after  milked  hard. 

Soon  after  a  young  heifer  had  a  teat  inflamed  near  its  end. 
I  was  away.  My  temporary  hand  could  not  milk  that  ob- 
structed teat  and  called  auother  fellow  with  a  strong  grip,  and 
he  partially  milked  the  cow,  and  made  matters  worse.  Next 
day  1  iuserted  a  milking  tube,  and  within  twelve  hours  had 
a  fine  case  of  caked  udder  in  that  quarter,  and  in  a  few  days 
she  gave  no  milk  from  that  teat 

I  had  a  hard-milking  heifer,  and  soon  after  made  two 
smooth  lead  plugs  less  than  an  inch  long,  and  inserted  them 
in  two  of  hei  teats  to  make  them  milk  more  easily.  She  had 
had  a  perfectly  healthy  udder,  but  twelve  hours  after  using 
the  plugs  those  two  quarters  of  her  udder  were  caked  hard, 
and  1  used  the  plugs  no  more. 

S.  B.  Morrison,  about  that  time,  told  in  the  Dairyman  how 
to  treat  inflammation  of  lower  inch  of  teat.  ■"  Do  not  touch 
the  teat  for  three  days,  then  milk  it  very  slowly  and  care- 
fully." I  soon  had  another  case,  and,  following  his  advice, 
the  cow  recovered  use  of  teat  in  a  short  time.  It  occurred  to 
me  that  the  pressure  upon  the  inflamed  teat  would  lessen  the 
inflammatory  process,  and  I  have  since  wrapped  the  teat  up 
in  a  piece  of  tarred  cloth  and  tied  the  cloth  on  with  strings. 
The  cloth  will  not  always  stay  on,  and  I  have  used  narrow, 
long  strips  of  adhesive  plaster  wound  around  the  teat  as 
tightly  as  possible,  beginning  at  the  end  of  tb,e  teat  and  run- 
ning up.  In  three  days  I  take  off  the  bandage  and  milk  that 
quarter  of  the  udder. 

My  cow  that  I  wrote  about  has  since  injured  two  more  of 
her  leats.  One  she  cut  open  lengthwise  and  the  other  she  in- 
jared  at  the  end.  She  has  a  large  pendulous  udder  and  large 
teats,  and  I  have  lately  learned  how  she  injured  her  teats. 
Her  platform  is  a  trifle  too  short  and  her  teats  fall  over  at 
the  end  of  it  iDto  the  drop.  Her  hoof  presses  the  teat  against 
the  side  of  the  drop  and  injures  it.  These  injured  teats 
sometimes  remain  hard  and  thick  near  the  end,  and  I  remedy 
that  by  pressing  the  end  of  the  teat  firmly  between  the  thumb 
and  finger  half  a  minute  before  milking  and  by  gently  rolling 
the  teat  while  pressing  it.  This  makes  the  milk  come  easier 
and  in  time  cures  permanently  the  trouble  in  many  cases. 
Once  in  a  while  a  cow  gets  caked  udder  in  one  quarter.  For 
this  painful  trouble  I  always  use  a  pail  of  hot  water.  I  apply 
it  with  a  good  sized  cloth,  setting  the  pail  under  the  udder 
and  dipping  it  often  in  the  water,  which  should  be  as  hot  as 
the  hands  can  bear.  Continue  this  for  full  twenty  minutes  by 
the  watch.  My  cows  are  generally  better  after  the  first 
application.  To  be  of  use  in  subduing  inflammation,  hot 
water  must  be  applied  at  least  twenty  minutes  at  a  time. 


The  New  Hog. 


There  are  plenty  of  people  living  who  remember  when  the 
hog  was  an  athlete,  could  jump  fences  and  beat  horses  in  the 
race.  The  pig  litters  were  not  infrequently  twenty  to  twenty- 
five  in  number.  The  early  hog  also  had  a  nose  for  business, 
and  put  it  where  he  liked.  He  had  a  great  wind  bellows  and 
little  fat  to  retard  his  motions.  In  those  days  his  bacon  was 
lean  and  thin,  aod  he  had  fairly  enough  lard  to  fry  the  bal- 
ance. It  is  b-irely  possible  that  we  are  tending  to  the  mistake 
of  extreme  refinement  by  breeding,  says  the  Indiana  Farmer. 
Whether  this  is  so  or  not,  it  is  well  to  call  the  attention  of 
young  breeders  to  what  has  occurred  and  is  occurring.  They 
do  not  know  full v  what  damages  have  been  made  in  fifty 
years.  They  hear  something  about  it,  but  cannot  realize 
these  things  an  older  ones  do  who  saw  the  athletes  fifty  years 
ago  and  look  upon  their  descendants  now.  A  writer  on  the 
subject  give*  the  following  note  of  warning  and  advice  :  The 
bog  baa  had  his  nose  aud  legs  shortened,  his  bones  developed, 
;:  broadened,  hi-*  digestive  and  assimilative  powers 
enlarged  anil  his  vital  aud  reproductive  powers  impaired. 
Hi  education  and  refinement  have  been  carried  too  far  in 
many  case*.  He  is  a  dude  ;  he  cannot  give  a  vigorous  squall, 
or  run  forty  rods  without  danger  of  death,  nor  dues  he  breed 
as  of  yore.  It  in  our  duty  to  him  and  ourselves  to  study  him 
and  bring  back  i  dam i nancy  his  old  lime  vital  powers  to 
Mich  degree  as  wi;!  -nsure  his  vigor  and  powers  of  reproduc- 


tion. We  can  get  parallels  between  the  cow  and  the  sow. 
The  shy  breeding  cow  is  a  poor  milker;  the  good  milker  is  a 
certain  breeder.  This  will  be  found  to  obtain  with  the  sow, 
only  the  signs  are  gotteu  iu  a  different  manner.  We  can  tell 
how  the  cow  milks  by  her  mess  or  by  the  calf  that  sucks  her, 
and  we  can  tell  a  good  milking  sow  by  her  litter.  The  regu- 
larity with  which  the  sow  breeds  is  au  infallible  sign  of  the 
condition  of  her  reproductive  organs;  the  size  of  the  litter 
and  their  vigor  when  they  come  are  sure  indications  whether 
the  vigor  of  the  sow  is  iu  full  force  or  is  abating.  We  have 
given  all  attention  to  breeding  out  the  old  fashioned  form 
with  its  vigor  and  developing  the  approved  early  maturing 
type  with  its  delicacy.  Observing  breeders  have  for  some 
lime  seen  these  tendencies  aud  have  been  correcting  them 
with  success.  The  hog  as  we  have  him  is  without  doubt  the 
finest  of  his  kind  in  the  world,  but  the  heavy  losses  met  every 
spring  admonish  us  that  we  must  not  forget  when  improving 
that  vigor  must  be  preserved  in  the  vital  organs,  otherwise  we 
have  no  hog.  The  variations  found  in  our  litters  give  us 
choice  of  selection  that  enables  us  to  help  dominate  these 
forces,  and  by  close  study  of  what  we  have  and  their  behavior 
we  may  with  certainty  keep  the  vital  features  of  the  hog. 

Turkey  Raising. 


The  farm  journals  give  ample  space  to  theories  and  ex. 
periences  in  poultry  raising.  It  is  impossible  to  put  into 
practice  all  the  good  advice  given,  but  here  are  some  sug" 
gestions,  which,  coming  as  th*>y  do  just  on  a  disappoinling 
effort  at  early  turkey  raising,  are  calculated  to  impress  aud  to 
benefit. 

The  home-bred  gobbler  was  too  beautiful  to  give  up  and 
too  inbred  to  keep.  Other  conditions  were  fairly  good.  The 
hens  were  gentle  and  in  every  way  admirable,careful  mothers 
good  foragers,  and  easily  kept  in  bounds.  They  had  nests  in 
the  fowl  yard,  a  well  shaded,  large  lot,  where  they  chose  to 
lay  and  sit,  and  they  were  allowed  to  sit  on  their  own  eggs 
The  eggs  were  not  all  fertilized,  some  of  the  young  were 
strong  and  vigorous,  but  several  died  without  any  visible 
cause  except  weakness.  And  that  is  to  be  attributed  to  com- 
mencing the  flock  three  years  ago  with  one  pair,  and  because 
of  their  good  qualities  allowing  them  to  breed  without  any 
new  strain  until  they  have  grown  weakly. 

The  writer  In  the  paper  mentioned  starts  with  the  advice 
to  change  the  gobbler  every  year. 

The  first  litters  of  eggs  are  set  under  common  hens.  Shut- 
ting the  turkey  hens  up  two  or  three  days  will  stop  their  de- 
sire to  sit.  They  lay  again  in  a  day  or  two  after  being  turned 
out.  On  this,  the  second  litter  of  the  season  the  turkey  hen 
is  allowed  to  sit.  Set  the  turkey  eggs  on  the  ground.  Keep 
the  young  turkeys  in  clean,  dry  coops.  Never  let  them  out 
in  rainy  weather,  nor  till  after  the  dew  is  ofl  in  the  morning. 
They  must  not  run  in  wet  grass  till  after  six  weeks  old  and 
not  then  in  bad  weather.  Young  turkeys  need  the  Dr  tection 
of  the  old  ones  until  nearly  grown.  Feed  for  two  or  three 
days,  at  first  crackers  or  bread  and  sweet  milk.  Change  to 
cracked  corn  boiled.  Il  stormy  or  cool  weather  add  occa- 
sionally a  little  pepper. 

Chopped  onions  or  onion  tops  are  good  for  a  change.  Feed 
five  times  a  day,  two  weeks,  then,  till  they  can  find  enough 
food,  then  once  at  night  to  induce  them  to  come  home  to 
roost.  Give  plenty  of  clean,  good  water  in  clean  vessels.  To 
fatten  in  the  fall  give  only  whole  grain  in  a  covered  and 
slatted  feed  trough,  too  high  for  common  fowls  to  reach  it. 
This  simple  plan  gives  success. 


Pasture    for   Hogs. 


Whenever  possible  both  stock  and  fattening  hogs 
should  be  pastured.  Of  course  there  are  difficulties  in  the 
way,  but  some  of  these  may  be  overcome.  Two  six-inch 
planks  at  the  bottom  of  the  wire  fence  will  meet  the  greatest 
trouble,  for  it  is  a  well-known  fact  rhat  the  improved  breeds 
now  propagated  will  not  attempt  to  scale  a  fence  two  feet 
high,  or  crawl  through  after  being  taught  to  remain  in  the 
pen. or  pasture.  Hogs  need  pasturing,  not  alone  for  grass  and 
roots  and  freshwater  supposed  to  be  found  in  the  pasture, 
but  for  exercise,  sunshine  and  liberty. 

The  Utah  experimental  station  publishes  pome  valuable 
facts  and  suggestions  in  Bulletin  22.  The  bulletin  says  that 
swine  allowed  to  graze  on  good  fields  will  not  only  find 
enough  nutriment  to  maintain  life  but  they  will  grow  and  in- 
crease in  weight.  But  depending  almost  entirely  upon  pas- 
ture for  food  they  must  be  carried  over  one  winter  with  the 
general  risks  that  are  met  with  in  such  work,  for  the  periods 
required  for  fattening  hogs  on  pastures  are  long.  The  grass 
should  be  supplemented  by  grain  or  some  fattening  food,  but 
if  the  swine  are  given  all  the  grain  needed  they  will  not  eat 
grass.  Tn  hot  weather,  however,  they  need  exercise  if  given 
grain  and  not  grass.  Grass  seems  to  take  the  place  of  exer- 
cise by  purging  the  system  of  bad  matter,  and  keeping  their 
digestive  organs  in  good  working  order.  Grain,  with  exer- 
cise,seems  to  be  the  conclusion  of  the  bulletin.  At  least  this 
should  be  the  aim  io  hot  weather,  for  in  winter  the  fattening 
process  can  be  hastened  by  forcing. 


Feed  the  goslings  three  times  daily  for  one  week  on  hard 
boiled  eggs  and  bread  made  of  meal  and  water,  dry  and  with- 
out salt.  After  that  thev  may  ha.  e  cracked  corn,  small  grain 
and  chopped  green  food.  When  once  fledged  they  can  forage 
for  themselves  in  field  and  orchard  till  November,  when,  in  a 
few  weeks,  they  will  be  in  fine  order  by  Christmas.  Well 
cooked,  the  flesh  is  fine,  and  it  would  he  hard  to  produce  as 
much  line  meat  for  the  table  of  any  other  kind  with  so  little 

expense  or  trouble. 

—       ♦ 

At  the  last  meeting  of  the  State  Board  of  Agriculture  it  was 
decided  that  an  additional  individual  sweepstake  premium 
be  given  in  the  cattle  classes,  for  milk  and  beef  breeds,  of 
$150  each.  Under  these  premiums  individuals  of  equal  age 
in  all  classes  may  compete  against  each  other.  It  practically 
makes  a  grand  sweepstake  of  the  premium  cattle  of  each  class. 

Ti»  otilizs  the  feathers  of  ducks,  chickens  and  turkeys, 
generally  thrown  aside  as  refuse,  trim  the  plume  frr.m  the 
stump,  inclose  them  in  a  light  bag,  rub  the  whole  as  if  wash- 
ing clothes,  and  you  will  secure  a  perfectly  uniform  and 
light  down,  excellent  for  quilting  coverlets  and  not  a  few 
other  purposes. 


Drooping   Chicks. 


A  correspondent  of  the  Country  Gentleman  sends  the  fol- 
lowing query: — "I  have  several  incubators,  and  have  raised 
6*00  to  700  chicks  so  far.  I  have  a  hot-water  brooder  for  the 
young  chicks,  and  give  them  all  the  care  and  attention  possi- 
ble. They  have  thrived  fairly  well,  but  I  have  recently  lost 
quite  a  number  of  young  chicks  from  a  ciuse  that  I  cannot 
fathom  ;  one  day  they  will  all  appear  perfectly  well,  and  the 
next  morning  one  or  two  will  show  signs  of  weakness  in  their 
legs  and  inability  to  hold  their  heads  up.  When  I  touch 
them,  they  appear  lively  for  a  moment,  then  stop,  hang  their 
heads  to  the  ground,  close  their  eyes  aod  drop  their  wings, 
and  finally  die.  Will  you  also  kindly  tell  me  if  feeding 
worms  to  chicks  from  one  to  two  months  old  is  injurious  ?  " 
To  which  the  editor  replies :  The  above  description  corre- 
spond? exactly  with  the  appearance  of  young  chicks  troubled 
with  lice.  The  wings  and  heads  droop  until  the  tips  of  their 
wings  and  their  disconsolate  little  bills  nearly  touch  the 
ground.  They  look,  and  no  doubt  are,  perfectly  miserable, 
standing  with  closed  eyes  oblivious  to  all  that  is  going  on 
around  them,  with  only  an  occasional  woe  be-gone  chirp  to 
let  you  know  that  life  is  not  yet  quite  extinct. 

It  is  a  common  saving  that  June  chicks  sleep  themselves 
to  death,  but  we  find  that  if  the  little  fellows  are  kept  free 
from  parasites  they  live  and  grow  with  less  trouble  than  at 
almost  any  other  time  of  the  year.  A  well-known  authority 
says  that  when  a  chick  is  sleepy  it  is  a  sure  sign  of  lice.  It 
seems  reasonable  though  to  suppose  that  weakness  or  debility 
from  other  causes  might  be  accompanied  with  drowsiness, 
chicks  hatched  in  an  incubator  are  seldom  affected  with  para- 
sites of  any  kind,  but  occasionally  the  insidious  pests  make 
their  appearance  even  there,  their  eggs  having  been  prev- 
iously laid  upon  the  hens'  eggs. 

Examine  the  head  and  neck  of  the  chick  closely,  and 
should  any  lice  be  found,  rub  a  drop  or  two  of  sweet  oil  or 
melted  lard  well  into  the  skin.  A  very  little  grease  will  suffice, 
and  if  the  weather  be  cool  or  damp,  dust  them  well  with  in- 
sect powder  instead.  Scald  the  interior  of  both  brooder  and 
incubator  with  water  containing  a  few  drops  of  carbolic  acid. 

The  leg  weakness  with  which  he  speaks  of  their  being 
affected  may  be  caused  from  over-feeding.  The  chick  that  has 
been  forced  too  rapidly  increases  in  size  and  weight  faster 
than  it  gains  strength.  When  this  is  the  case  it  is  said  that 
a  cold  spell  will  sometimes  cause  trouble  in  the  joints  very 
much  like  rheumatism.  Too  little  exercise,  which  usually 
accompanies  overfeeding,  may  also  cause  leg  weakness.  Re- 
duce their  rations  for  a  while,  and  between  meals  scatter 
millet  seed,  say  a  gill  to  50  chicks,  in  litter,  to  make  them 
scratch. 

As  a  rule,  too  much  corn  meal  or  cracked  corn  is  fed  to 
brooder  chicks  and  too  little  wheat  or  oats.  In  our  haste  to 
make  them  fat,  we  do  not  give  them  enough  of  those  foods 
which  go  to  make  boue,  muscle  and  sinew.  Chicks  raised  in 
confinement  are  deprived  entirely  of  the  food  which  suits 
them  best — insects  of  various  kinds— and  to  make  up  for  this 
deprivation  authorities  tell  us  to  use  fresh  bones,  what  are 
called  green  bones,  ground  or  cut  small  enough  for  them  to 
swallow.  Fresh  bones,  they  say,  with  some  lean  meat  adher- 
ing to  them,  come  nearer  forming  a  perfect  food  for  chicks 
than  anything  else  we  can  supply.  Give  one  generous  meal 
a  day.  all  that  the  chicks  will  eat  up  clean.  If  fresh  bones 
cannot  be  supplied,  give  lean  fresh  meat  or  good  boiled  meat, 
anil  in  addition  ofter  them  prepared  bone  meal. 

Sometimes  a  brood  of  chicks  affected  with  diarrhcea  pre- 
sents somewhat  the  appearance  of  those  above  described. 
Give  boiled  sweet  milk  for  drink,  and  for  a  few  days  feed 
only  dry,  stale  crackers  or  stale  bread,  crumbled  fine.  If  this 
does  not  check  it  add  about  five  drops  of  laudanum  and  two 
of  carbolic  acid  to  the  milk,  and  feed  rice  boiled, and  allowed 
to  dry  out,  sprinkled  over  with  black  pepper. 

While  plenty  of  fresh  air  is  indispensable  to  the  health  of 
chicks,  avoid  drafts  or  sudden  changes  of  temperature  of  any 
kinds.  Too  much  underheat  is  especially  dangerous.  We 
once  saw  a  lot  of  brooder  chicks  that  had  by  some  accident 
got  overheated.  Miny  had  died  at  the  time,  and  the  rest  it 
was  thought  would  die.  They  were  miserable  looking 
things,  drawn  up  till  they  were  mostly  feathers. 

One  has  to  be  so  careful,  too,  in  regard  to  the  diet  of 
brooder  chicks;  it  is  like  attemping  to  raise  by  hand  so  many 
little  motherless  infants.  Their  food  is  so  apt  to  disagree 
with  them,  and  they  get  very  badly  ofl"  before  we  suspect  that 
there  is  anything  wrong.  They  must  be  kept  clean  and  com- 
fortable, and  nothing  neglected  that  will  make  them  happy 
and  contented. 

Asthe  writer  does  not  mention  the  kind  of  worms  he  feeds 
his  chicks,  we  suppose  he  means  the  common  angle  worm, 
which  we  should  think  would  be  excellent  food  for  chicks 
that  cannot  run  out  and  procure  such  things  for  themselves. 

Never  be  tempted  to  retain  a  young  male  for  breeding  that 
is  a  grade  or  cross-bred.  It  is  true  that  many  of  them  are 
very  promising  and  appear  fully  equal  to  the  thoroughbreds, 
but  they  cannot  transmit  uniform  characteristics  to  their  off- 
spring. Many  farmers  bave  ruined  their  flocks  or  herds  by 
retaining  males  that  possessed  no  merit  except  superiority 
over  others  of  their  kind,  being  useless  for  purposes  of 
improvement.  The  ouly  safe  rule  to  adopt  in  breeding 
is  to  use  pure  bred  sires  and  to  secure  the  best  for  the  purpose. 


Manv  times  little  chicks  do  not  thrive,  and  the  only  reason 
is  because  they  are  infested  with  the  large  gray  head  lice.  If 
the  little  fellows  begin  to  droop,  look  for  the  lice  about  the 
head  and  neck.  They  can  be  killed  by  putting  a  drop  of  lard 
on  the  head  and  rubbing  it  into  the  down  about  the  head  and 
neck. 

Even  when  eggs  are  fresh  the  prices  are  lowered  by  dirty 
shells.  It  will  be  an  advantage  to  wash  the  eggs  io  soap  and 
wa'er.  If  the  stains  do  not  come  ofl  place  the  eggs  in  vinegar 
for  an  hour  and  then  wash  them.  Assort  them,  placing  the 
dark  eggs  in  one  lot  and  the  white  eggs  in  another. 

GbASs  clipped  from  the  lawn  by  the  lawn  mower  is  fine 
food  for  fowls  of  any  kind  that  are  kept  in  confinement,  and 
if  it  is  so  used  the  lawn  mower  may  be  made  to  pay  for  itself, 
and  the  lawn  be  a  source  of  profit  as  well  as  pleasure. 

An  exchange  says  that  if  a  cow  gels  choked  with  an  apple 
or  potato,  holding  up  its  head  and  breaking  an  egg  in  its 
mouth  is  a  sure  cure.  The  same  remedy  is  recommeuded  for 
horses  under  similar  circumstances.

CARTRIDGE    AND     SHELL. 


Sacramento  is  to  have  another  gun  club  at  once. 

The  Recreation  Gun  Club  will  shoot  to-morrow  at  Oak- 
hind  Race  Track.  

Don't  forget  Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co's  blue  rock  tourna- 
ment on  July  28  and  29.  The  programmes  will  be  out 
shortly.  

The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Association  will  hold  a 
picnic  shoot  at  its  shooting  grounds,  San  Leandro  road,  on 
July  4th.  

Doves  are  very  plentiful  throughout  Northern  Solaria 
county  and  rare  sport  is  expected  when  the  season  opens  on 
July  1st. 

There  will  be  a  team  shoot  at  Blue  Rocks  between  the 
Davisville  Gun  Club  and  the  Parker  Gun  Club  of  Woodland 
on  July  4tb.  ^_ 

A  factory  for  the  manufacture  of  hammerless  guns  was 
started  last  week  at  Eugene,  Oregon.  The  patent  is  a  new  one 
and  said  to  be  good.         

Our  venUon  hunters  are  cleaning  up  their  rifles  prepara- 
tory to  the  opening  of  the  deer  season.  In  many  of  the  coun- 
ties it  opens  on  July  1st. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Santa  Clara 
Juoe  ISth,  an  ordinance  was  passed  making  the  open  season 
for  deer  from  July  2d  to  August  16th. 


The  Davisville  Gun  Club  will  celebrate  the  fourth  with 
a  tournament.  The  Woodland  Gun  Club  will  be  invited  to 
join  in  the  festivities.     There  will  be  a  ball   in   the  evening. 

Several  parties  have  been  shooting  doves  along  the  Amer- 
ican River  between  Sacramento  and  Folsom  during  the  past 
week.     The  season  does  not  open  in  that  country  until  July 

15th.  

At  the  Montana  State  Sportsmen  Association's  Tourna- 
ment at  Helena,  Montana,  June  9th,  J.  F.  Cowan,  of  Butte, 
won  the  Stats  live-bird  championship  with  a  score  of  fifteen 
straight.  » 

A  guide  in  the  Adirondack  Mountains  fired  sis  shots  from 
a  revolver  at  a  spruce  partridge  without  as  much  as  disturb- 
ing a  feather,  and  then  getting  mad  threw  the  revolver  at  the 
bird  and  killed  it.  In  relating  the  feat  he  remarked  that 
"that  was  about  the  best  shooting  he  ever  'did  with  one  of 
the  pesky  things."  

The  Contra  C<>sta  county  game  law  states  that  you  may  kill 
doves  in  that  county  on  and  after  June  loth.  We  opened  a 
couple  of  doves  on  Sunday  last  that  were  killed  in  that  coanty 
and  found  a  cluster  of  small  eggs  in  one  and  in  the  other  an 
egg  with  the  shell  on.  Surely  July  loth  or  August  1st  would 
be  a  better  date  for  the  opening  of  the  season  in  that  county. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Tulare  county  have  passed  an 
ordinance  making  it  a  misdemeanor  to  catch  or  have  in  pos- 
session during  the  mouths  of  April.  May,  June,  July,  August 
and  September  brook,  mountain  or  rainbow  trout  or  black 
bass.  Sectioi'  2  of  the  same  ordinance  makes  it  a  misdemeanor 
for  any  person  to  have  in  possession,  or  to  sell,  any  of  the 
above-named  fish  or  any  Mongolian  pheasant. 

The  Sportsman's  Association  of  the  Northwest  held  a  very 
successful  tournament  last  week  at  Tacoma,  Wash.  T.  A.

The  Redwood  City  Democrat  complains  that  city  sports- 
men ere  killing  doves  out  of  season  in  that  vicinity.  City 
hoodlums  more  like.  We  hope  they  will  be  arrested  and  fined. 

The  Santa  Barbara  Country  Club  has  been  organized  with 
the  followingdirectors  and  officials:  Admiral  Harmony,  Dr. 
Hall,  Ronald  Thomas  C.  B.  Hale,  '^eorge  H.  Gould,  C.  C. 
Felton  and  R.  Barrett  Fithiao.  President,  Dr.  Hall;  secre- 
tary and  treasurer,  Wm.  M.  Alexander.  The  club  house  at 
Montecito  will  be  built  at  once. 

Walter  R'chirdson,  son  of  C.  H.  Richardson,  accompanied 
by  the  son  of  Gardiner  Smith,  returned  on  June  12th  from 
an  extended  trip  in  the  Sierra  Madra  Mountains.  Richard- 
son, who  is  an  experienced  mountaineer,  notwithstanding  his 
youth — he  being  still  in  his  teens — went  on  the  trip  loaded 
for  bear,  while  young  Smith  went  to  draw  sketches  of  scenes 
of  particular  interest  along  the  route.  Richardson  got  what 
he  went  after — a  grizzly  bear,  weighing  between  five  and  six 
hundred  pounds.  It  was  in  the  east  fork  of  the  Tejunga  that 
the  bear's  tracks  were  discovered.  The  youthful  hunter  soon 
discovered  that  the  bear  had  killed  a  burro,  aud  had  dragged 
the  remains  for  a  considerable  distance  up  through  the  brush. 
Richardson  left  his  companion  and  at  night  followed  bruin 
to  his  lair.  He  found  the  bear  enjoying  a  meal  off  of  the 
under  portions  of  the  barro,  and  had  ample  opportunity  to 
take  deliberate  aim.  The  first  shot  hit,  but  not  to  kill,  and 
the  bear,  angered  by  the  interruption,  made  a  dash  in  the  di- 
rection of  his  youthful  assailant.  But  Richardson  did  not  fal- 
ter. He  waited  until  the  bear  was  within  twenty  yards  of 
him  and  then  he  fired.  The  second  shot  hit  the  mark,  as 
did  the  first,  and  then  it  was  that  the  bear  first  decided  to  re- 
treat. Richardson  followed  close  behind,  and  at  an  oppor- 
tune time  fired  a  third  shot,  which  laid  the  auimai  low,  and 
the  loog-coveted  prize  had  been  won.  The  skin  was  carefully 
stripped  aod  salted,  and  was  on  Tuesday  borne  in  triumph 
home  bv  Richardson,  who,  with  his  companion,  made  the  re- 
turn trip  by  a  circuhons  route.

M.  O.  Feudner. 
Herr  Dowe's  Bullet-Proof  Coat. 


Much  interest  was  excited  last  year  when  it  was  announced 
that  a  material  had  been  invented  in  Germany  that  could 
successfully  ward  off  a  bullet  fired  from  one  of  the  powerful 
modern  rifles.  At  first,  as  was  natural,  much  incredulity  was 
expressed  on  all  sides,  which  was  not  altogether  dissipated 
by  the  favorable  opinion  entertained  of  its  efficacy  by  Ger- 
man experts.  Recently,  however,  by  invitation  of  the  di- 
rectors of  the  Alhambra  Theatre  of  Varieties,  a  large  and  in- 
fluential assembly  of  naval  and  military  authorities  had  the 
opportunity  of  witnessing  the  most  searching  tests,  the  results 
of  which  appeared  eminently  satisfactory.  Amoogst  those 
present  were:  HU  Riyal  Highness  the  Duke  of  Cambridge, 
attended  by  Colonel  FitzGeorge,  and  the  company  also  in- 
cluded Lord  Roberts,  Viscount  Falmouth,  Lord  Methoen, 
Sir  Evelyn  Wood,  Sir  Henry  Havelock-Allan,  Sir  Redvers 
Buller,  Sir  F.  Grenfell,  Sir  R.  Gipps,  Sir  Baker  Russell,  Ad- 
miral Saumarez,  General  Goodenough,  General  Maitland, 
General  Keith  Eraser,  Colonel  Stewart  (commanding  the 
Canterbury  Dapot),  Colonel  Mackinnon  (secretary  of  the 
National  Rifle  Association),  Colonel  Stracey,  Dr.  W.  H.  Rus- 
sell, and  several  foreign  Military  Attaches.  Sir  U.  Kay- 
Shultleworth,  '.  P.  (Parliamentary  Secretary  to  the  Ad- 
miralty), aod  Mr.  Woodall,  M.  P.  (Financial  Secretary  to  the 
War  Office),  likewise  witnessed  the  experiments. 

After  a  preliminary  explanation,  the  manager  of  the  Al- 
hambra introduced  the  inventor,  Herr  Dowe,  and  Captain 
Martin;  a  committee  of  experts  were  invited  to  ascend  on  the 
stage  and  personally  see  that  all  the  experiments  were  con- 
ducted in  a  bona  fide  manner;  to  this  invitation  Admiral 
Saumarez,  Captain  Cowan,  Captain  Dutton  Hunt  and  Mr.  C. 
F.  Lowe,  of  the  Queen's  Westminster  Voluoteers,  responded. 

The  first  experiment  was  conducted  as  follows:  Along 
thick  log  of  stout  oak  was  fixed  on  trestles  upon  the  stage, 
and  Captain  Martin,  using  an  English  Government  Martini- 
Henry  rifle,  supplied  to  him  by  Mr.  Lowe,  with  a  cordite 
cartridge,  fired  at  the  exposed  end  of  the  log  for  a  distance  of 
about  fifteen  yards.  The  bullet  penetrated  the  log  for  a  dis- 
tance of  two  feet.  A  cordite  charge  in  the  same  rifle  was 
next  fired  at  a  log  two  feet  six  inches  long,  and  the  bullet  did 
not  pass  through,  but  remained  embedded.  The  third  shot 
was  from  a  German  Army  rifle  of  the  pattern  now  in  use,  and 
the  bullet  easily  passed  through  the  wood.  The  superior 
penetrating  power  of  the  German  rifle  caused  some  comment 
in  the  audience,   but  Captain  Martin  afterwards  unhesitat-

[June  23, 1    ii 


ingly  gave  it  as  his  opinion  that  the  English  rifle  was  un- 
doubtedly superior  to  the  German  weapon,  the  greater  pene- 
trating power  of  the  latter  being  due  to  the  better  quality  of 
the  smokeless  powder  employed  in  the  German  cartridges. 

After  the  experiments  against  the  wood,  Herr  Dowe  brought 
forward  his  cuirass.  It  weighs  twelve  pounds,  but  in  a  few 
weeks  Herr  Dowe  hopes  to  place  before  the  British  military 
authorities  one  weighing  only  nine  pounds;  its  outward  ap- 
pearance is  that  of  an  ordinary  cushion,  and  it  is  large  enough 
to  cover  the  chest  and  abdo.nen. 

For  the  purpose  of  the  6rst  experiment  the  curiass  was 
fastened  against  the  log,  with  a  sheet  of  ordinary  paper  on 
either  side  of  it,  60  as  to  show  that  the  bullet  had  entered, 
but  had  not  passed  through  the  cuirass.  Captain  Martin 
shot  with  a  Lee-Metford  Government  magazine  rifle,  mark 
II.,  loaded  by  Captain  Dutton  Hunt,  who  provided  both  the 
rifle  and  the  ammunition.  A  slight  movement  of  the  cuirass 
was  apparent  as  the  bullet  entered  it,  but  it  was  clearly  shown 
that  the  bnllet  had  not  passed  through  and  that  it  remained 
embedded  in  the  material.  Three  more  shots  were  6red  from 
the  temporary  platform  situated  at  a  distance  of  about  15 
yards  from  the  objective  mark,  two  of  them  being  from  the 
German  Government  rifle,  and  in  each  case  the  result  was  the 
same,  the  audience  warmly  applauding  the  performance.  Cap- 
tain Martin  purposely  aimed  at  different  points  each  time, 
with  the  object  of  showing  that  the  material  was  of  the  same 
resisting  material  throughout.  Then  he  mounted  to  the  grand 
circle  of  the  theatre  and  fired  three  rounds  from  there,  Cap- 
tain Duttoo  Hunt  accompanying  him  on  the  last  occasion, 
carrying  the  rifle  and  handing  it  over  to  the  marksman  ready 
loaded.  In  all  seven  shots  had  now  been  placed  in  the  cui- 
rass, which,  on  being  exhibited,  showed  on  its  front  seven 
distinct  bullet  holes,  the  reverse  side  being  absolutely  intact, 
thus  proving  beyond  a  doubt  that  the  bullets  remained  in  the 
material.  Lord  Methuen  now  demanded  that  Captain  Dut- 
ton Hunt  should  himself  be  allowed  to  fire  at  the  curiass,  and 
after  some  demur,  owing,  it  was  said,  to  a  misunderstanding 
of  the  demand,  Captain  Hunt  fired  a  cordite  charge  from  his 
Lee-Metford  rifle  into  the  material  at  a  yard's  distance,  with 
the  same  triumphant  result  as  before,  so  far  as  the  bullet-re- 
sisting power  of  ihe  cuirass  was  concerned.  Then  Herr 
Dowe  donned  the  cuirass  himself,  and  presented  his  body  to 
be  shot  at,  but  this  exhibition  proved  too  much  for  a  section 
of  the  audience,  who  protested  that  an  experiment  on  the 
human  subject  was  not  necessary.  As  a  compromise,  a  horse 
was  brought  on  to  the  stage,  and  the  curaiss  fastened  round 
the  animal's  ribs.  Captain  Martin  fired  a  shot  from  the  Lee- 
Metford,  and  the  only  result  when  the  shot  struck  the  cuirass 
was  that  the  horse  plunged  slightly,  but  betrayed  no  more 
excitement  than  might  have  been  expected  to  be  produced 
by  the  mere  report  of  the  weapon.  Herr  Dowe  again  offered 
himself  as  a  target,  but  this  was  objected  to,  after  which  the 
exhibition  terminated,  and  although  the  committee  gave  no 
direct  expression  of  their  opinion,  it  was  understood  that  it 
was  entirely  satisfactory. — London  Rod  and  Gun.

As  Walsrode  powder  will  soon  be  placed  upon  this  market 
in  bulk,  we  give  herewith  the  instructions  of  the  manufactur- 
ers regarding  the  loading  of  the  same  : 

''The  shell.recommended  for  those  wishing  to  load  their  own 
ammunition  is  the  Blue  Rival  shell  with  conical  base,  but  it 
is  recommended  that  this  shell  be  primed  with  about  one- 
third  grain  of  fine-grained  black  powder.  The  L".  M.  C. 
Walsrode  shell,  it  is  stated,  contains  a  No.  3  primer,  strong 
enough  to  ignite  the  powder  to  the  best  advantage,  and  it  is 
unnecessary  to  prime  that  shell. 

For  wadding,  a  three-eighth  inch  white  felt  or  gray  wad, 
one  size  larger  than  the  guage  of  the  gun,  is  recommended. 
A  gray  felt  wad  is  recommended  for  use  in  such  shells  as 
require  filling.  In  loading  the  shell  there  should  always  be 
room  left  for  a  crimp  or  turn-over,  only  one-eighth  or  one- 
quarter  of  an  inch,  and  no  more. 

When  Walsrode  powder  is  compared  with  the  bulk  or 
measure  of  black  powder,  only  about  one-third  the  quantity 
of  Walsrode  powder  is  necessary  to  give  the  same  penetra- 
tion or  pattern. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  necessity  of  accuracy  in  loading 
this  powder,  and  it  is  recommended  that  each  load  be  weighed 
on  a  fine  scale,  or  measured  with  a  special  Walsrode  measure. 
Maximum  load  for  12-bore  gun  is  31  grains  by  weight ;  for 
16-guage  gun,  25  grains  by  weight.  The  standard  load  for 
10-bore  is  35  grains  by  weight ;  the  maximum  load  38  grains. 
Emphasis  is  given  to  the  statement  that  these  loads  must  not 
be  increased,  as  it  would  endanger  the  safety  of  the  gun  and 
the  shooter." 

In  plain  English,  a  few  grains  of  overcharge  will  result  in 
a  broken  gun,  possibly  a  broken  head.

Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  have  just  received  a  lot  of  hard 
grain  Schultze  powder.  Anyone  desiring  to  try  this  improved 
grain  can  purchase  any  desired  quantity  at  their  store,  under 
the  Grand  Hotel.  They  are  offering  tents  for  camping  at 
very  low  rates. 

ROD- 

Geo.  Armstrong,  of  San  Francisco,  and  G.  L.  Smith  caught 
117  trout  on  Thursday  of  last  week  about  half  a   mile  from 
the  Hotel    Ben   Lomond  near   .'.anta     Cruz.      The  largest 
weighed  four  pounds  and  two  ounces. 
• 

W.  E.  Houghton,  of  Bakersfield,  has  made  an  application 
to  the  Fish  Commissioners  for  5,000  tront  fry  to  be  planted 
iu  Sycamore  Creek.  Once  stocked,  this  will  be  an  ideal  trout 
stream,  a  place  where  the  spirit  of  Isaac  Walton  would  find 
perfect  delight. 

W.  Wetmore,  Fred  Boell  and  a  party  of  friends  were  at 
Camp  Laurel  on  Sunday  last.  Wetmore  and  another  mem- 
ber of  the  Alameda  County  Sportsman's  Association  caught 
thirty  nice  trout  in  Wild  Cat  creek.  They  found  the  creek 
very  muddy  from  Saturday's  rain. 


Special  steel  rods  and  two-joint  split  bamboo  rods  with  ex- 
tra tip  and  large  reels,  with  complete  outfits  for  Santa  Cruz 
salmon  fishing  can  be  procured  at  Clabrongh  Golcher  &  Co.'s 
They  have  been  out  of  Emeric  Spinners  for  some  time,  the 
call  for  certain  sizes  being  unprecedented,  but  desire  to  an- 
nounce that  they  now  have  a  large  stock  of  them. 

J.  H.  Sammi  and  Robert  Taylor  are  enjoying  another  out- 
ing at  Lake  San  Andreas.  They  started  Friday  evening  and 
will  return  on  Monday.  On  Saturday  and  Sunday  last  they 
caught  the  full  limit.  Ten  of  them  were  as  handsome  trout 
as  toe  most  enthusiastic  angler  could  wish  to  see,  averaging 
three  pounds  each  and  were  in  the  finest  condition  that  they 
have  been  for  years.  They  were  caught  on  the  Wilson  spoon 
and  wasp  fly. 

♦ 

Quite  a  number  of  the  trout  planted  two  years  near  the 
mouth  of  Kern  canyon  have  been  caught  this  year  by  the 
men  working  at  the  bridge  of  the  new  flume.  They  are  of 
eatable  size  and  nice  to  have,  but  those  who  catch  them  must 
understand  that  they  are  breaking  the  law.  There  is  a  fine 
of  $100  for  each  fish  caught  and  the  officers  are  going  to  try 
and  prevent  any  further  commission  of  this  offense.  It  is  un- 
derstood that  the  parties  plead  ignorance  of  the  law.  That, 
however,  will  not  remit  the  penalty. — Bakersfield  Californian. 


Trout  Tiokling. 


I  wish  to  submit  to  our  bureau  of  information  a  descrip- 
tion of  an  old  method  of  capturing  the  wily  brook  trout.  I 
have  followed  the  stream*  since  boyhood,  and  although  I 
confess  to  having  in  several  instances  heard  of  this  mode  of 
taking  trout,  I  certainly  never  have  seen  it  in  practice, 
neither  have  any  of  my  angling  associates.  Some  time  ago  a 
correspondent  of  the  Norwich  Bulletin  expatiated  at  length 
upon  traut  tickling.  H«  gives  the  testimony  of  Dennis  P. 
Rich,  of  Shelton,  as  one  who  is  an  adept  at  it.  Mr.  Rich 
catches  a  great  many   trout  every  season,  but  admits  that 


most  of  the  big  ones  are  taken  by  hand.  As  Mr.  Rich  strolls 
along  the  brook,  he  discovers  in  some  dusky  pool  a  sage  old. 
trout  who  has  grown  big  and  fat.  The  man  lies  stealthily 
down  on  his  stomach,  and  then  as  slowly  as  if  he  was  a  black 
j  log  slipping  down  the  bank,  worms  himself  into  the  stream; 
then  with  caution  his  long  naked  arms  slides  slowly  and  al- 
most imperceptibly  through  the  sluggish  current  toward  the 
big  fellow's  tail.  The  spotted  victim  lies  perfectly  still,  the 
delicate  swaying  motion  of  his  back  fin  comes  to  a  rest,  and 
there  is  not  the  ghost  of  a  movement  in  his  whole  body. 
Perhaps  you  may  fancy  the  trout  does  not  see  that  long  slim 
arm  advancing  upon  him,  but  the  presumption  is  that  he 
does,  for  a  trouf  s  vision  in  the  water  is  like  a  hawk's  in  the  air 
But  the  trout  does  not  know  what  the  singular  thing  is.  At 
last  Rich's  fingers  touch  the  big  fellow,  aad  that  first  touch  of 
the  electric  human  hand  settles  the  business  and  it  is  all  over 
with  the  trout;  the  fingers  glide  slowly  along  the  quivering 
body  till  they  encircle  him  at  the  gills;  then  they  close  with 
lightning  swiftness,  there  is  a  sudden  flirt  on  the  part  of  the 
fisherman,  and  the  big  trout  is  tossed  out  on  the  bank  palpi- 
tating and  wondering  how  in  the  world  he  got  there. 

Such  is  the  detailed  account  of  the  singular  proceeding 
called  trout  tickling;  and  to  give  color  to  the  above,  a  German 
blacksmith,  living  on  the  Salem  Turnpike,  six  miles  from 
Norwich,  states  that  in  Germany  the  practice  was  common. 
Now  the  question  is,  why  does  the  trout  with  his  wild,  timid 
nature  lie  so  quietly  and  succumb  so  easily  to  the  touch  of 
the  human  hand,  is  it  an  overwhelming  curiosity,  a  hypno- 
tizing influence  exerted  by  the  stronger  human  mind,  or 
simplv  the  love  of  being  tickled  ;  or  is  the  whole  thing  the 
invention  of  the  fertile  brain  of  some  literary  Ananias  ?  If 
any  of  the  many  contributors  to  Forest  and  Stream  can  give 
me  any  information  on  the  subject,  I  should  be  glad  to  1 
it. — E.  M.  B.,  in  Forest  and  Stream. 


Trout  in  Washington. 

Seattle  undoubtedly  has  more  expert  handlers  of  rod  am 
fly  than  any  city  of  equal  size  in  the  country.  Seattle  alsi 
has  more  good  trout  streams  where  the  speckled  beautie 
abound  closely  accessible  than  any  other  city  in  America. 

A  five  cent  car  fare  brings  the  fisherman  to  first-class  laki 
work.  Trolling  spoon,  flv  or  bait  work  all  bring  good  catches. 

This  year  trout  fishing  starts  off  with  brightest  prospects 
and  the  disciples  of  Izaak  Walton  are  correspondingly  happy 

Fly  fishing  season  is  just  starting,  and  good  catches  are 
being  made. 

So  far  Lake  Washington  and  the  streams  putting  into  i 
have  been  receiving  the  most  attention.  Maydenbauer  bay, 
Juanita,  Mercer  slough,  Sunken  island,  above  the  watei 
works,  Pontiac,  mouth  of  Black  river  and  Squak  slough  have 
been  the  best  grounds.  The  old  fishermen,  however,  avoit 
these  places,  as  they  are  usually  too  well  patronized  by  the 
amateurs.  Fair  catches  are  made  with  bait  at  any  of  them 
Union  bay  this  season  seems  to  be  an  off  spot. 

The  best  lake  fishing  has  been  in  Lake  Samamish.  Thei 
the  fishermen  have  had  phenomenal  success  both  with  fl 
and  bait.  Some  of  the  largest  catches  of  the  season  have  beet 
made  in  Samamisb,  one  well-known  angler  having  in  fool 
hours'  fly  fishing  filled  five  large  fish  baskets  with  game' 
trout.  Squak  slough,  near  this  lake,  is  apparently  full  < 
fish.  Five  hours  fishing  can  be  had  by  taking  the  Seattli 
Lake  Shore  and  Eastern  train  to  either  Adelaide  or  any 
the  stations  on  the  lake  shore. 

River  fishing  is  hardly  under  way,  yet  good  catches  ha' 
been  made  during  the  past  week  on  the  smaller  streaiL 
along  the  Seattle,  Lake  Shore  &  Eastern  railroad,  and  also  ii 
Cedar  river. 

Reports  from  the  Hood  canal  streams  point  to  late  fisfai 
there. 

Good  catches  have  been  made  in  Swan  lake.  The  eigh 
mile  walk  from  Renton  keeps  away  the  crowds. 

Lake  Wilderness  is  an  "  offgrouod ;  "  several  parties  ha 
tried  it  with  only  fair  success. 

Cedar  lake  is  making  a  record  for  big  fish  and  plenty 
them.    Several  big  baskets  have  come  from  this  lake. 

Some  of  the  largest  catches,  both  in  number  and  weight,, 
came  from  Grace  station,  twenty-six  miles  out  on  the  Seattle, 
Lake  Shore  A  Eastern.  The  initiated  few  are  keeping  this 
grounds  to  themselves,  but  the  location  is  close  to  Grace  and 
the  fishing  is  evidently  lake  work. 

Early  fishing  on  Snoqualmie  river  above  the  falls,  has  been 
very  good. 

The  following  flies  seem  to  be  the  best  this  year  for  early 
work  :  Gray  Drake,  Professor,  Queen  of  the  Waters,  Reuben  • 
Wood,  Professor  and  Montreal.    The  lighter  hackles  are  also 
good. — Seattle  Post-Intelligencer. 


Perch  in  Kern  County. 

On  Thursday  afternoon  of  last  week  a  number  of  those 
most  interested  in  the  fishing  interests  of  Kern  countv  went 
out  to  the  Pioneer  weir  to  test  W.  E.  Houghton's  plan  fot 
moving  fish  up  the  Kern  river.  The  Californian  states  that 
it  was  an  unqualified  success.  A  thirty-foot  seine  had  been 
purchased  by  private  subscription,  and  the  plan  was  to  draw 
the  net  below  the  weir  and  put  all  the  fish  that  were  caught 
back  in  the  river  above  the  obstruction.  Dragging  the  net 
was  great  fuu,  but  the  first  trials  were  disappointing,  most  of 
the  fish  darting  out  under  the  seine.  Finally  the  boys  got 
down  to  business  and  then  great  hauls  were  made.  There 
must  have  been  two  hundred  fine  perch  and  a  thousand  cat- 
fish transplanted  over  the  weir.  The  lead  line  was  not  heavy 
enough  for  the  rapid  current  and  many  more  escaped  every 
time  than  were  caught.  Now  and  then  a  white  fish  would 
comeback  over  the  weir,  but  the  perch  and  horn  pout  shoot 
right  up  the  river,  and  will  undoubtedly  keep  on  until  they 
reach  the  James|weir.  It  is  the  intention  in  a  day  or  two  to 
use  the  seine  again  at  the  James  wier.  It  is  likely  that  then 
some  of  the  finest  perch  may  be  transported  in  cans  to  some 
point  obout  the  Beardsley  weir,  in  which  event  the  whole 
upper  river  will  be  open  to  them.  In  all  of  the  seining  but 
one  carp  was  captured.  When  nearly  ready  to  go  home  the 
seine  gang  crawled  under  the  weir  and  caught  all  the  perch 
they  wanted  to  take  home,  with  their  hands.  They  would 
feel  cautiously  along  the  under  side  of  the  weir  boards, against 
which  the  perch  in  great  numbers  were  butting  their  noses,  "'^ 
and  grab  the  fish.  There  is  no  question  about  the  feasibility 
and  desirability  in  this  seining  plan  of  Mr.  Houghton's.  A 
half-day's  sport,  and  rare  sport  it  is,  at  each  weir  will  trans- 
plant fish  enough  to  stock  the  upper  river  and  almost  do 
away  with  the  necessity  of  fish  ladders.

THE  KENNEL. 

DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 


The  St.  Bernard  bitch  Lady  Mignon  was  recently  sold  in 
England  for  the  snug  sum  of  $5,000. 

Clabrough,  Golcher  &  Co.  have  just  received  a  large  as- 
sortment of  dog  collars.  You  are  invited  to  call  and  examine 
them.  

In  noting  the  litter  of  St.  Bernard  puppies  by  Lord  Hual- 
pa— Lola  recently,  we  gave  the  owner's  name  as  O.  Nichols. 
It  should  have  been  0.  Nicholas  Klepper,  of  the  TivolL  The 
puppies  are  doing  nicely. 

The  well-known  bull-terrier  Jim  Blaine  Jr., by  Jim  Blaine 
— Old  Nance,  was  poisoned  in  Stockton  recently.  The  sire 
and  dam  of  this  dog  were  imported  from  Engla.nd  by  Percy 
Williams  and  Jim  was  a  very  fair  bench  dog, very  game  and 
a  great  vermin  killer. 

A  rumor  reaches  us  from  the  South  that  i  new  Geld  trial 
club  is  on  the  docket.  The  Southern  sportsmen  propose  to 
hold  a  trial  this  fall  for  members  onlv.  The  membership 
fee  will  be  small  so  that  no  one  who  is  a  sportsman  will  be 
barred,  bat  there  will  be  no  prize  money.  Medals  will  be 
given  and  members  will  be  compelled  to  handle  their 
own  dogs. 

Why  don't  the  kennel  clubs  of  this  Coast  secure  the  right 
to  use  Spratts'  benching-  The  shows  would  be  enough  more 
attractive  to  pay  for  the  difference  in  the  first  cost,  and  the 
benching  will  last  for  many  years.  Should  the  Pacific  Ken- 
nel Club  purchase  the  right  the  other  clubs  could  rent  from 
them.  

We  are  pleased  to  see  that  P.  H.  Bryson  comes  out  flat 
footed  against  running  bitches  in  season  at  field  trials.  We 
repeat  our  former  opinion  of  the  question.  It  is  unfair  to 
the  competing  dogs  and  should  not  be  allowed.  We  also  have 
the  termerityto  prophecy  that  no  club  that  ever  allows  it  will 
allow  it  the  second  season.  Mr.  Waters  also  writes  to  Forest 
and  Stream  a  very  good  article  on  this  subject  that  we  repro- 
duce in  another  column. 

Mr.  Bell's  Disqualification. 


The  disqualification  of  Mr.  Bell  continues  to  disturb  the 
Eastern  kennel  press  and  we  have  received  several  commun- 
ications from  our  Eastern  friends  concerning  the  same.  Mr. 
Martin  first  placed  the  matter  before  the  A.  K.  C.  because 
Mr.  Bell  guaranteed  the  fox  terrier  bitch  Blemton  Consequence 
to  be  in  whelp.  Mr.  Martin  did  not  care  two  straws  for  Con- 
sequence but  did  want  the  pups  from  her.  A  bitch  ar- 
rived here,  supposed  to  be  Consequence,  she  was  not  in  whelp 
.-*nd  Mr.  Martin,  very  rightly  requested  Mr.  Bell  to  refund 
the  money  and  he  would  return  the  bitch.  As  he  refused  to 
do  so  Mr.  Martin  brought  the  matter  before  the  A.  K.  C. 
Seve-al  weeks  after  Mr.  Mortimer  discovers  that  Consequence 
is  still  in  Mr.  Bell's  kennel  and  Mr.  Bell  discovers  that  he 
has  shipped  Rejoice  to  Mr.  Martin  in  place  of  Consequence. 
In  place  of  acting  the  gentleman  and  sending  on  Consequence, 
Mr.  Bell  gets  Mr.  Mortimer  to  write  to  Mr.  Martin  that  if 
lie  (Mr.  Martin)  will  pay  tke  freight  and  return  Rejoice,  he 
will  ship  him  Consequence.  Mr.  Martin  refused  and  we  ask 
wno  would  not?  The  error  was  Mr.  Bells,  not  Mr.  Martins. 
Mr.  Bell  first  failed  to  make  good  his  guarantee  and  then 
failed  to  do  the  only  honorable  thing  he  could  do,  viz.  send 
on  Consequence  in  whelp,  free  of  expense,  to  Mr.  Martin. 
We  again  state  that  Mr.  Bell  should  receive  not  merely  ooe 
year's  disqualification,  but  ten.  He  has  proved  himself 
neither  a  gentleman  nor  an  honest  man.  Any  law  court  in 
the  U.  S.  would  compel  Mr.  Bell  to  give  up  Consequence  free 
of  all  expense  to  Mr.  Martin  and  in  whelp  at  that. 

It  has  been  stated  in  the  various  papers  that  Mr.  Bell  was 
disqualified  for  not  sending  Consequence  to  Mr.  Martin  after 
he  had  discovered  his  mistake.  The  Forest  and  Stream  states 
that  Sacretary  Vredenburgh  says  it  was  because  Mr.  Bell  ad- 
vertised that  the  bitch  would  be  taken  back  if  not  in  whelp, 
and  when  asked  to  do  so  by  Mr.  Martin,  refused. 

We  have  always  been  friendly  to  the  A.  K.  C.  and  wish  to 
continue  so  be  so,  but  it  is  time  this  Star  Chamber  business 
was  stopped.  The  meetings  of  the  advisory  committee  should 
be  more  public.  Mr.  Martin  to  this  day  has  not  been  officially 
notified  of  the  action  t^ken,  and  knows  practically  nothing 
about  the  action  of  the  advisory  committee  in  the  matter.  A 
fancier  in  San  Francisco  should  have  exactly  the  same  rights 
as  the  fancier  in  New  York,  and,  until  such  is  the  case,  toe 
cry  of  "clique"  and  "partiality"  will  be  heard  everywhere.

Dog  Show  Judging. 


We  have  commented  freely  uvon  the  awards  made  at  Oak- 
land and  Los  .Angeles.  Very  few  juices  or  reporters  judge 
or  report  a  show  in  its  eatirety  without  m  iking  some  slight 
mistake  and  doubtless  we  have  made  a  few.  If  no  man  can 
can  judge  an  entire  show  and  give  satisfac'i  m  in  all  classes 
then  certainly  no  reporter  can  comment  oo  every  dog  in  the 
show  and  not  make  mistakes  also.  Yet  it  should  be  remem- 
beredthat  the  critic  h  is  the  advantage  of  the  judge — he  n  ot 
not  only  seas  the  do*s  in  the  ring  at  the  judging  but  has  the 
privilege  of  examining  the  dogs  at  his  leisure  afterwards  and 
comparing  the  winners. 

We  believe  Mr.  Waddell  to  be  painstaking,  conscientious 
and  thoroughly  honest.  We  believe  that  he  placed  the  dogs 
as  he  thought  they  should  be  placed.  What  we  take  him  to 
task  for  at  this  late  date  is  for  giviog  prizes  to  mongrels. 
This  we  believe  was  due  wholly  to  inexperience  as  a  judge. 

The  evil  is  a  com  non  one  and  we  have  commented  very 
freely  upon  it  during  the  last  eight  years.  To  illustrate  the 
evil  we  will  give  some  actual  instances  of  this  mistaken  gener- 
osity. In  1891  Mr.  Davidson  had  a  class  of  cockers  at  Los 
Angeles  that  were  in  truth  a  miserable  lot,  worthy  of  no 
award  higher  than  V.  H.  C-,  and  the  majority  should  have 
been  unnoticed  Honest  John  don't  like  to  be  harsh  and  in 
the  bigness  of  his  heart  gave  them  first,  second  and  third 
accordineto  how  the  classes  filled.  A  couple  of  weeks  later 
he  judged  at  San  Francisco  and  met  a  very  respectacle  class 
of  cockers  and  gave  them  the  same  prizes,  first,  second,  third. 
One  of  the  cockers  at  the  San  Francisco  show  was  worth  the 
whole  batch  at  Los  Angeies  and  had  the  Los  Angeles  winner 
been  at  San  FrancUco  it  would  not  have  taken  V.  H.  C.,yet 
the  owner  of  the  Los  Angeles  winner  thought  he  had  just  as 
good  a  dog  as  any  shown  here  and  the  win  counted  for  just  as 
much.  He  probably  got  just  as  many  stud  fees  or  sold  as 
many  pups  on  the  strength  of  it.  Next  year  some  better  ones 
appeared  at  Los  Angeles  and  Mortimer  withheld  the  prizes 
for  want  of  merit.  Then  the  breeder  thinks  that  Davidson  is 
either  igaorant  or  Mortimer  has  it  "in  for  him."  Some  of 
them,  however,  had  enough  sense  to  see  that  they  were  on 
the  wrong  track  and  1894  brings  out  a  nice  class  of  cockers. 
Had  Davidson  done  the  same,  1893  or  1892  would  have  seen 
greatlv  improved  stock. 

This  year  Waddell  has  done  the  same  thing.  In  New- 
foundlands the  veries*  mongrel  gets  a  third  prize:  In  the  eyes 
of  the  visitor  at  the  show,  the  Don -doggy  man  who  may  at 
any  moment  become  a  full-fledged  fancier,  this  third  prize 
winner  is  just  as  good  a  specimeu  of  its  breed  as  the  third 
prize  setter,  pointer  or  St.  Bernard  is  of  its  breed. 

Is  this  just?  Is  this  doing  right  by  the  breeders  of  good 
dogs?  Is  this  encouraging  the  breeding  of  thoroughbred 
stock?  Mr.  Waddell  gives  seeond  prize  to  a  bull  terrier  that 
is  not  a  bull  terrier;  secoad  prize  to  a  so  called  Japaaese 
spaniel  that  was  entered  as  an  English  pug,  and  waiio  reality 
across  between  the  two  breeds;  first  prize  in  the  miscel- 
laneous class  to  a  cross  between  a  Bleaheim  and  a  poodle,  or 
something  similar. 

The  owner  of  a  moogrel  goes  home  happy  with  a  white,  a 
red  or  a  blue  ribbon,  and  goes  on  breeding  the  same  stock, 
and  the  owner  of  a  St.  Bernard,  a  pointer  or  a  spaniel  goes 
home  with  a  V.  H.  C.  or  H.  C,with  a  dog  but  a  trifie  inferior 
to  the  winner  in  its  class. 

Such  mistakes  on  the  part  of  a  judge  are  seldom  from 
ignorance,  they  are  simply  mistaken  generosity.  We  have 
been  called  to  task  for  commenting  so  severely  on  Mr.  Wad- 
dell's  judging.  If  the  attention  of  the  public  were  not  called 
to  such  errors,  the  great  majority  of  our  readers  would  never 
know  that  they  had  occurred.  We  are  running  this  depart- 
ment for  the  best  interest  of  the  dog  fancier,  not  to  let  thing* 
go  along  in  the  same  old  rut.  To  call  the  attention  of  oor 
readers  to  ao  error  is  to  prevent  a  recurrence  of  the  same. 
We  do  not  wish  to  be  harsh  in  our  criticisms,  we  do  wish  to 
be  just. 

That  "  Moas-Back  Robber"  Rule. 


The  action  of  the  U.  S.  F.  T.  Club  at  its  annual  meeting 
in  Chicago  repealed  the  rule  which  made  ineligible  bitches 
which  were  in  season,  comes  up  again  and  is  worthy  of  dis- 
cussion. In  connection  with  this  matter  I  noticed  Mr.  Mad 
ison's  note  in  Furest  and  Stream  of  May  2G.  He  says  :  "  The 
United  States  Field  Trial  Club  at  its  last  annual  meeting 
eliminated  from  its  rules  that  fid  mossback  robber  which 
has  for  vears  prohibited  bitches  in  heat  from  running  in  field 
trials." 

It  is  not  really  such  a  one-side!  arl'i'tr  as  Mr.  Madison's 
brief  statement  of  the  subject  seems  to  imply,  nor  can  une 
readily  perceive  wherein  the  old  ruling  was  unjust,  much  les* 
a  robberv,  if  the  subject  is  equitably  considered  in  its  full 
bearings. 

It  may  be  incidentally  mentioned  that  the  consensus  of 
opinion  and  practice  is  stilt  against  the  position  of  the  U.  S. 
F.T.  Club,  it  being  entirely  alone,  so  far  as  I  know,  in  its 
position  in  the  matter  under  consideration,  and  its  position 
therein  does  not  express  the  unanimous  sentiment  of  the  club 
1  members. 


It  is  true  that  if  an  owner's  bitch  is  in  season  at  the  time 
she  is  to  compete  in  a  stake  and  for  chat  reason  is  barred,  it 
is  a  great  hardship  to  such  owner,  inasmuch  as  the  time, 
labor  and  expense  incurred  are  more  or  less  lost.  The  train- 
ing can  be  estimated  as  of  permanent  value,  but  the  entry 
fees  are  gone.  So  are  for  the  time  being  any  high  expecta- 
tions of  wins  and  honors.  Still  the  hardship  is  one  inherent 
in  the  ownership  of  a  bitch  and  entering  her  in  a  competi- 
tion. It  is  one  of  which  the  owner  has  a  full  knowledge 
when  he  make  his  entries,  therefore  he  does  so  with  a  full 
knowledge  of  the  disqualifying  possibilities.  It  is  one  on 
which  there  has  been  a  uniform  ruling  for  many  years  by  all 
clubs. 

When  a  rule  has  been  uniform  and  universal  for  a  long 
time  it  is  well  to  ioquire  carefully  into  the  reasons  for  it.  A 
change  of  circumstances  or  environment  may  make  an  old 
rule  obsolete,  or  inoperative,  or  undesirable,  or  irrelevant,  or 
whatnot.  But  there  are  certain  principles  and  laws  in  the 
physical  world  which  remain  ^unalterable,  and  there  are  cer- 
tain instincts  and  trials  in  animal  life  which  remain  practi- 
cally the  same.  Usage  and  rules  based  on  unalterable  laws 
of  nature  were  as  good  in  the  past  as  in  the  present.  To  be 
mossgrown  seems  an  impossibility  even  as  a  figure  in  this 
matter. 

While  it  is  an  unquestionably  a  hardship  to  an  owner  to 
have  his  bitch  barred  from  competition  because  she  is  in 
season,  it  requires  no  lengthy  argument  to  establish  that  he 
should  not  transfer  his  o  ivn  hardship  to  some  other  person,  or 
to  several  persons.  No  man  should  profit  by  his  own  act  in 
competing  to  the  injury  of  the  equity  of  the  competition  and 
loss  to  the  competitors.  It  is  a  loss  to  them  if  their  entries  will 
not  compete  through  their  being  present  some  obstructive 
conditions  foreign  to  the  competition,  and  introduced  by  some 
other  competitor.  They  should  not  be  required  to  suffer  such 
loss,  The  misfortune  of  a  competitor  is  his  own.  It  should 
not  be  transferred  to  others.  It  is  his  own  loss  in  the  same 
sense  as  if  his  dog  were  lame,  or  sick,  or  lost,  etc.,  and  tbus 
prevented  from  competing. 

It  has  been  advanced  that  the  modern  high-bred  dog,  in 
his  energetic  desire  to  seek  birds  in  the  hills,  the  vales,  the 
cover,  the  opeo,  the  horizon,  will  when  so  working  entirely 
ignore  a  bitch  in  season.  Such  is  the  dog  of  pedigree,  of 
blood,  of  training — of  ownership  other  than  the  ownership 
of  the  bitch  in  season.  The  modern  dog  is  all  hunt.  Invari- 
ably he  goes  skimming  over  the  fields,  with  nose  high  in  air, 
seeking  along  promising  nooks  and  cover  for  that  which  will 
afford  his  owner  a  shot.  Betimes  he  cuts  frisky  capers  and 
says,  "  Ha  !  ha !  "  He  never  loafs,  nor  tires,  nor  quits  work, 
nor  thinks  of  anything  but  work.  The  strongest  appetites 
or  passions  of  his  animal  nature  are  all  subordinate  to  his 
working  pedigree  and  insatiable  craving  to  work  for  his 
master.  Such  is  the  well-bred  dog,  so  industrious  and  loyal 
to  his  work  ;  so  full  of  the  potency  for  labor,  inherited  from 
modern  dogs,  is  the  modern  dog,  that  he  feels  not  the  most 
ungovernable  passion  of  dog  nature.  He  sometimes  stops  to 
drink. 

It  is  true  that  he  will  leave  home,  travel  many  miles  and 
be  gone  many  days  to  gratify  his  sexual  desire.  The  same 
impulse  appears  to  govern  the  nondescript  cur;  the  dog 
proud  of  his  beauty  of  race  type,  and  the  different  dogs  of 
different  breeJs.  The  small,  inafficient  cur,  humble  in  de- 
meanor and  with  the  constrained  manner  which  is  peculiar 
to  a  life  of  constant  want,  arrays  his  cunning  against  the 
■trength  and  proud  bearing  of  his  large  and  well-fed  rival . 
In  color,  size,  ancestry  and  manner  of  life,  they  may  all 
differ,  but  in  the  impelling  power  of  nature's  law  that  the 
species  shall  not  become  extinct,  they  are  as  one. 

At  certain  stages  of  a  bitch's  season,  opportunity  afforded, 
dog3  will  take  very  little  notice  of  her,  if  at  all.  At  other 
stages  they  will  notice  but  little  else.  To  say  that  a  dog  will 
not  do  so  is  to  cast  reflection  on  his  health  or  his  soundness. 
A  dog  with  such  erratic  notions  could  not  be  put  in  the  stud 
with  any  serious  clai  m  for  his  merits  as  a  stud  dog. 

Still  it  is  possible  that  by  improved  modern  breeding  a  dog 
will  be  produced  which  will  be  so  organized  as  to  have  no 
emotions  or  passions  other  than  those  scheduled  by  his  mas- 
terfor  the  day  or  for  the  event.  He  will  cease  to  be  an  in- 
telligent organism,  his  instincts,  passions,  appetites  and  pur- 
poses all  merging  into  an  animated  mechanism. 

To  have  properly  legislated  on  the  mitter,  the  rule  should 
have  b  -en  intelligently  arranged  to  govern  is  in  its  entirety, 
not  a  dogmatic  dicta  which  only  fits  one  corner.  The  proper 
way  and  the  just  way  to  have  treated  the  matter  would  have 
been  to  require  the  judges  to  pass  upon  it  according  to  the 
circumstances,  the  common  sense  of  it,  if  the  question  was 
raised.  If  the  bitch  appeared  to  be  in  season  and  did  not 
attract  the  dogs,  let  her  continue  in  the  competition.  If  she 
attracted  dogs  and  thus  balked  their  competition,  run  her 
with  some  other  bitch,  and  if  that  could  not  be  done,  run  her 
alone,  or,  if  the  competition  was  at  such  a  stage  that  nothing 
could  be  done  to  keep  her  in  it.  then  retire  her  permanently. 
The  man  who  owns  a  dog  and  the  men  who  own  dogs  have 
certain  rights  which  are  equally  important  and  worthy  of 
consideration  as  those  of  the  men  who  own  bitches.  With  a 
full  knowledge  of  the  varyiog  circumstances,  discretionary 
powers  would  have  permitted  the  equitable  adjustment  of  all 
cases  which  might  occur.  The  old  rule  was  curtly  manda- 
toay.  Any  bitch  in  season  would  not  be  allowed  on  the 
grounds.  In  one  instance  they  mu3t  stay  out.  In  the  other, 
the  last,  they  must  stay  in.  Every  case  must  be  measured 
alike.  The  incidental  circumstances  are  oot  of  considera- 
tion. The  very  data,  which  should  be  considered  by  the 
judges  to  rule  each  individual  cases,  are  all  set  aside,  and 
each  ooe  is  governed  by  the  same  set  law,  a  law,  too,  basedon 
some  erroneous  assumptions  in  respect  to  dogs'  disposition 
and  nature,  to  say  nothing  of  the  equity  of  a  competion. — B.

Treatment  in  Emergencies. 


The  proper  steps  to  be  taken  where  an  animal  has  suffered 
some  injury  or  is  attacked  by  some  sudden  disease  is  still  a 
matter  in  which  many  owners  are  given  an  opportunity  to 
display  the  most  profound  ignorance.  At  a  general  thing 
the  unfortunate  owner  of  an  ailing  horse  is  the  recipient  of  an 
unlimited  amount  of  advice  from  solicitous  friends  and 
neighbors,  several  of  whom  will  offer  a  prescription  or  com- 
pound of  some  kind  or  other  of  whose  ingredients  they  are 
sublimelv  ignorant,  but  in  whose  efficacy  in  alleviating  or  re- 
moving all  equine  indisposition  they  have  the  most  unquali- 
fied confidence.  So  the  medicine  which  relieved  Mr.  Jones' 
horse  when  suffering  from  the  colic  is  now  poured  down  the 
throat  of  Mr.  Brown's  horse  suffering  from  congestion  of  the 
lungs,  the  drenchiog  being  accompanied  by  a  reasonable 
amount  of  choking,  assisted  by  sundry  jabs  in  the  rib?,  the 
object  being  to  assist  the  animal  in  swallowing  the  nauseat- 
ing compound,  not  to  mention  a  systematic  preamble  and  dis- 
sertation in  that  portion  of  the  English  language  which  is  un- 
written but  which  develops  and  displays  its  possibilities  on 
such  an  occasion. 

Perhaps  that  rapidly  disappearing  genius.the  horse  doctor, 
arrives  upon  the  scene  and  proceeds  with  a  general  injecting, 
bleeding  and  drenching  seance,  his  every  action  closely  fol- 
lowed by  an  awe-inspired  audience  that  has  rapidly  congre- 
gated, the  miods  of  many  of  them  still  associating  and  en- 
veloping the  practice  of  medicine  with  that  same  mass  of  anti- 
quated superstition  which  surrounded  it  in  the  days  when  the 
Egyptiaa  priests  coupled  it  to  their  mysterious  trade.  The 
position  occupied  by  that  old-time  illiterate  individual  is 
now  being  rapidly  taken  by  the  intelligent,  educated  and 
fully  qualified  veterinarian.  We  cannot  express  too  strongly 
the  advisability  of  immediately  securing  the  services  or  ad- 
vice of  the  latter  in  all  cases  of  accidents  or  ailments  if  per- 
manent impairment  protracted  recovery,  or  even  death,  is  to 
be  averted ;  for  an  ailment  or  injury  that  upon  first  occur- 
rence appears  very  trivial  may  in  the  course  of  a  few  hours 
develop  into  one  of  great  gravity  and  beyond  the  skill  of  the 
veterinarian. 

As  the  arrival  upon  the  scene  of  the  practitioner  may  be 
delayed  the  interests  of  humanity  as  well  as  the  prevention 
of  financial  loss  demand  that  the  owner  should  be  informed 
as  to  the  proper  steps  to  be  taken  to  meet  the  emergency  that 
may  develop  pending  the  arrival  of  the  veterinarian.  The 
following  hints  are  here  offered  with  this  end  in  view: 

WOUNDS. 

Quadrupeds  of  all  kinds  are  more  subject  than  man  to 
wounds  and  injuries.  This  is  especially  true  of  the  horse, 
and  is  due  in  great  measure  to  the  activity  of  the  life  he 
leads.  The  treatment  of  wounds  is  a  distinct  branch  of  veter- 
inary science  and  depends  upon  the  location  and  character  of 
the  lesion,  and  the  amount  of  bruising  that  has  taken  place, 
as  well  as  the  shock  to  the  animal's  system.  Bleeding,  al- 
though generally  quite  alarming  to  those  who  have  had  no 
experience,  is  really  not  a  matter  of  much  importance  unless 
a  large  artery  is  cut.  In  such  a  case  the  aim  should  be  to 
either  seize  and  tie  the  vessel  or  to  bring  pressure  upon  it  to 
check  the  hemorrhage.  The  most  frequent  wound  met  with 
is  the  common  incision,  where  t'ue  edges  are  clearly  cut  and 
not  bruised  or  torn.  They  are  generally  free  from  dirt,  and  if 
the  bleeding  is  severe  it  can  be  checked  bv  the  application  of 
hot  or  cold  water,  which  is  always  availabie.  In  some  cases 
the  edges  of  the  wound  can  be  brought  together  by  a  suitable 
bandage,  by  the  use  of  a  strong  needle  and  thread,  the  stitches 
beingtaken  about  one  inch  apart,  or  in  small  wounds  closer. 
For  checkiug  severe  bleeding  a  couple  of  handkerchiefs  can 
be  used  to  very  good  advaotage;  one  should  be  made  up  into 
a  hard  roll  and  placed  over  the  large  vessels  above  the  wound 
if  in  a  limb  and  theolber  tied  around  it.  The  larger  vessels 
always  run  along  the  incide  of  the  legs.  Some  wounds  may 
with  benefit  be  plugged  with  oakum,  cotton  wool  or  a  hand- 
kerchief, pending  the  arrival  of  the  veterinarian. 

LACERATED  WOUNDS. 

These  are  the  result  of  kicks,  bites,  hooks  or  contact  with 
sharp  prominences.  Although  as  a  usual  thing  ihey  are  not 
accompanied  by  so  much  bleeding  as  incised  wounds  they 
areoften  more  serious  and  troublesome,  the  injured  po-tions 
being  torn  and  ragged. 

In  their  treatment  wash  the  lacerations  with  cold  or  tepid 
water,  and  with  the  Rogers  or  tweezers  remove  all  particles  of 
foreign  matter,  then  treat  as  an  incised  wound,  either  with  a 
btndage  compress  or  sutures,  as  may  be  indicated.  Wounds 
of  this  character  iu  the  region  of  the  belly  are  the  results 
generally  of  sticks  or  "  snags  "  in  the  fields  and  are  extremely 
dangerous,  especially  when  the  abdominal  cavity  is  pierced 
and  the  intestines  protrude.  In  such  cases  the  intestines 
should  be  cleaned  in  tepid  water  and  gently  returned  to  the 
cavity  and  kept  there  by  the  aid  of  a  wide  bandage.  This 
bandage  should  also  be  resorted  to  in  those  cases  where  the 
adbominal  muscles  have  become  torn  beneath  the  skin. 

When  the  chest  wall  is  penetrated  the  admission  of  air 
must  be  prevented  by  the  application  of  ■*  bandage  and  the 
veterinarian  immediately  summoned. 

CONTUSED  WOUNDS. 

These  are  generally  quite  serious,  as  the  vitality  of  the 
parts  is  more  or  less  impaired  from  the  bruised  and  torn 
condition  and  abscesses  are  apt  to  ensue  as  well  as  sloughing. 
Frequently  the  shock  to  the  animal's  system  which  accom- 
panies the  wound  is  so  great  as  to  cause  collapse  ;  this  is  in- 
dicated by  trembling,  cold  sweats  and  a  fall  of  temperature  of 
the  limbs  and  body.  In  such  cases  give  two  or  three  ounces 
of  brandy  in  a  quart  of  oatmenl  gruel. 

In  the  treatment  of  contused  wounds  hot  fomentations  are 
the  most  satisfactory,  and  where  joints  or  sheaths  of  tendons 
are  opened  hot  poultices  should  be  used. 

rUNCTUKED  WOUNDS. 

These  are  caused  by  sharp-pointed  instruments,  which  fre- 

3uently  penetrate  parts  and  organs  and  do  a  great  deal  of 
amage  with  but  nlight  primary  external  manifestations.  Of 
this  variety  of  W".  ,<h  the  nail  prick  is  the  mast  common  il- 
lustration, quite  tipple  in  itself,  but  capable  of  producing  a 


world  of  mischief.     When  the  nail  is  still   present  pull    it 
straight  out,  remove  the  shoe  and  pare  away  all   the  horn  I 
surrounding  the    prick    down    to   "the   quick"  and    until  1 
the  foot  bleeds  freely  ;  then  apply  a  poultice  of  flaxseed  meal.  I 

Very  frequently  a  horse  a  few  hours  after  shoeing  becomes 
sore  and  lame ;  this  is  due  to  the  farrier  having  driven  a  nail 
too  close  to  the  sensitive  structures,  the  lameness  not  being 
evinced  until  the  nail  had  irritated  the  part  a  sufficient 
length  of  time  to  cause  a  slight  congestion  and  pressure.  Re- 
move the  shoe  and  poultice  the  foot. 

BURNS  AND  SCALDS. 

These  are  of  frequent  occurrence  and  require  the  exclusion 
of  the  air  from  the  injured  parts  and  the  application  of  sooth- 
ing compounds.  Baking  powder  made  up  into  a  paste  with 
water  is  a  most  excellent  remedy  or  it  can  be  sprinkled  dry 
over  the  seat  of  injury.  Equal  parts  of  lime  water  and  lin- 
seed oil  make  a  good  lotion  and  in  simple  burns  or  scalds  a 
painting  of  the  parts  with  white  lead  will  be  sufficient. 

SPRAINS. 

These  are  very  common  and  often  quite  troublesome  when 
they  are  located  in  tendons  or  ligaments  at  the  back  part  of  a 
limb.  A  high-heeled  shoe  will  relieve  the  animal  greatly, 
and  the  pain  will  be  alleviated  by  hot  fomentations  of  the  in- 
jured part,  the  location  of  the  sprain  being  indicated  by  swell- 
ing, heat  and  pain  upon  manipulation. 

DISLOCATIONS. 

These  may  occur  in  various  places,  some  joints  being  more 
liable  to  injury  than  others.  When  dislocation  occurs  in  a 
limb,  there  is  more  or  less  deformity  evident,  and  lameness 
sometimes  to  the  extent  of  inability  to  move  the  member. 
One  of  the  most  frequent  dislocations  in  the  slipping  in  and 
out  of  the  small  bone  of  the  stifle,  the  patella.  The  lameness 
produced  is  very  characteristic,  and  is  marked  by  the  inabil- 
ity of  the  animal  to  bring  forward  the  injured  leg. 

This  dislocation  is  very  easily  replaced.  Apply  a  rope  to 
the  pastern  and  pull  the  leg  forward.  The  patella  can  then 
be  pushed  into  place,  a  clinkiDg  noise  determining  when  this 
has  been  accomplished.  Prompt  treatment  in  all  dislocations 
is  of  the  greatest  importance.  Palling  the  dislocated  bones 
apart  with  side  pressure  is  the  usual  course  in  reducing  a  dis- 
location. The  limb  should  then  be  bandaged,  the  animal 
kept  at  rest  and  cold  water  applied. 

FRACTURES. 

Fractures  frequently  occur  in  the  lower  animals,  and  are 
indicated  by  sudden  lameness  and  crepitation,  or  grating  of 
the  ends  of  the  bone  upon  manipulation.  One  of  the  popu- 
lar notions  is  that  broken  bones  in  animals  will  not  knit  or 
mend,  and  many  horses  are  annually  destroyed  that  would, 
with  proper  treatment,  care  and  attention  recover,  and  in 
many  cases  be  as  valuable  as  ever.  In  all  cases  of  fracture 
professional  aid  should  be  called,  and  no  animal  of  value 
should  be  destroyed  until  it  has  been  examined  and  passed  on 
by  a  qualified  veterinarian.  Pending  his  arrival  but  little 
can  be  done  other  than  to  keep  the  animal  quiet,  and  the 
broken  bone,  if  a  limb,  fixed  in  position.  This  can  be  done 
by  improvising  a  splint  out  of  the  materials  at  hand,  such  as 
pasteboard  or  stiff  leather,  soaked  in  water  until  pliable,  so 
that  it  can  be  moulded  to  the  required  shape,  and  the  limb 
should  then  be  wrapped  in  bandages.  In  cases  of  fractured 
ribs  a  wide  bandage  should  be  wrapped  around  the  chest  so 
as  to  support  them.  The  large  bone  just  above  the  hock  has 
no  muscular  protection,  and  is  particularly  liable  to  fracture 
from  kicks,  etc  Frequently  the  bone  is  broken  and  dis- 
placement does  not  immediately  occur,  the  periosteum  or  skin 
covering  the  bone  being  sufficient  to  keep  it  in  place,  and 
several  days  may  elapse  before  disunion  occurs,  the  lameness 
caused  being  so  slight  that  the  animal  is  frequently  kept 
at  work. 

If  the  bone  really  has  been  cracked  a  hard  swelling  will 
develop  in  a  day  or  two  at  the  seat  of  contusion ;  this  is 
nature's  effort  to  repair  the  injury.  The  animal  should  not 
be  allowed  to  lie  down  for  three  or  four  weeks.  In  fractures 
of  the  head  and  jaws  there  is  as  a  rule  but  little  danger,  and 
in  most  cases  a  complete  recovery  will  be  effected  if  the  pa- 
tient be  placed  in  the  hands  of  a  skillful  veterinarian.  The 
pain  accompanying  all  fractures  can  be  very  materally  allevi- 
ated by  the  application  of  either  hot  or  cold  water,  or  both 
in  alternation. 

GENERAL   TREATMENT   IN   SICKNESS. 

The  treatment  of  sick  animals  has  made  marked  advance- 
ment in  the  last  decade  or  two,  and  the  sick  horse  when  of 
value  i<  now  attended  by  as  skillful  physicians  and  given  as 
solicitous  attention  as  the  human  family.  In  the  care  of  sick 
animals  too  much  importance  cannot  be  attached  to  two 
things,  viz.,  proper  hvgienic  conditions  and  careful  nursing. 
The  horse's  stall  of  all  things  should  be  perfectly  dry,  warm 
and  roomy,  with  an  unfailing  supply  of  pure  air;  well  littered 
with  clean,  dry  bpdding,  and  unless  in  very  warm  weather 
the  animal  should  be  blanketed,  as  there  is  the  liability  to 
injury  from  sudden  drafts.  The  manger  and  feed-box  should 
be  perfectly  clean  and  free  from  all  soured  or  fermented 
matter.  In  pulmonary  diseases  it  is  of  the  greatest  import- 
ance that  the  animal's  appetite  be  kept  up.  To  succeed  in 
this  considerable  tact,  patience  and  absolute  cleanliness  is 
necessary.  As  a  rule  horses  are  very  cleanly  and  delicate  in 
connection  with  their  food,  and  a  dirty,  foul  feed-box  will 
frequently  cause  a  suspension  of  the  appetite.  Sick  animals 
will  frequently  turn  from  an  ordinary  full  feed  of  grain  as  if 
nauseated.  But  if  the  same  grain  be  offered  to  them  in  small 
quantities  they  will  frequently  nibble  it,  slowly  at  firsthand 
little  by  little  can  be  teased,  as  it  were,  into  taking  a  very 
respectable  meal.  If  they  refuse  oats,  try  them  with  corn,  or 
any  of  the  other  grains,  or  with  a  carrot  or  two.  A  small 
quantity  of  young  green  corn  or  fresh-cut  grass  in  the  sum- 
mer will  frequently  stimulate  an  appetite,  as  will  a  small 
quantity  of  salt,  at  times,  sprinkled  over  their  grain  or  vege- 
tables. Never  leave  food  before  a  sick  animal.  Good  nurs- 
ing, although  not  always  capable  of  effecting  a  cure,  is  never- 
theless of  so  much  importance  that  without  it  in  a  dangerous 
case  the  most  skillful  medical  attention  will  fail. 

THE  CHILL   OR   RIOOR. 

This  condition  is  common  in  the  horse,  and  while  not  in 
itself  of  particular  danger,  it  paves  the  way  for  the  most  dis- 
astrous complications,  nearly  all  disorders  of  tin  lungs  and 
air  passages  being  ushered  in  by  one  of  more  or  less  severity. 
Prompt  attention  is  therefore  demanded,  which,  if  given,  will 
almost  invariably  relieve  the  animal  and  check  the  develop- 
ment of  graver  disorders.  The  causes  of  this  affection  are  ex- 
posure, exhaustion,  improper  food,  etc.,  as  well  as  sudden 
changes  from  exercise  in  the  open  air  to  a  cold  stable  with- 
out the  protection  of  sufficient  blankets.  The  symptons  are 
lassitude,  ears,  nose  and   surface  of  the  body  cold,  the  coat 


staring,  and  the  animal  lies  down  from  prostration.  During 
the  rigor  the  breathing  is  accelerated  and  heavy,  the  air 
leaving  the  chest  with  a  hollow  sound. 

Treatment — Place  the  animal  in  a  warm  stall  and  co  ver 
him  with  several  blankets.  Rub  the  legs  with  hot  cloths 
and  whisps  of  hay.  Give  a  stimulating  dose  of  from  one  to 
three  ounces  of  brandy  in  four  times  as  much  water,  and  if 
not  relieved  in  half  an  hour  give  another  dose  of  one  ounce 
ofbrandy  with  four  ounces  of  water.  If  the  chill  is  obstinate 
and  refuses  to  yield,  and  there  is  a  delay  in  the  arrival  of  the 
veterinarian,  apply  mustard  to  the  sides  of  the  chest. 

ACUTE  C0N3ESTI0N  OF  THE  LUNGS. 

This  follows  or  accompanies  a  chill,  and  frequently  the  un- 
initiated will  find  difficulty  in  distinguishing  between  them. 
The  most  common  causes  are  severe  exertion  when  out  of 
condition  or  placing  in  a  hot,  poorly-ventilated  stable  a  horse 
that  has  been  given  violent  exercise  in  the  open  air.  When 
on  the  road  the  warnings  of  an  attack  of  this  kind  are  slack- 
ening of  the  speed  and  staggering  gait.  The  animal's  breath- 
ing will  be  greatly  labored  and  hurried,  the  limbs  and  ears 
oold,  nostrils  widely  dilated,  the  nose  thrust  straight  out,  the 
eyes  staring,  red  and  anxious,  and  the  entire  countenance  be- 
tokening great  distress. 

Treatment — Remove  the  harness  or  saddle  and  turn  the 
animal's  head  toward  the  wind.  Rub  the  legs  well  and  also 
the  entire  surface  of  the  body  with  wisps  of  hay  or  cloths, 
then  give  the  stimulating  dose  as  advised  in  case  of  a  chill. 
Where  the  attack  c^mss  on  in  the  stable  remove  the  animal 
to  a  cool  place  or  ventilate  the  stall.  Apply  a  mustard  plas- 
ter to  the  sides,  or  blankets  soaked  in  hot  water  and  wrap  a 
hot  blanket  over  all.  Alcoholic  stimulents  in  one-ounce 
doses  should  be  givan  every  hour,^diluted  with  four  times  as 
much  water. 

PLEURISY. 

Thisdisease  can  be  easily  recognized.  The  animal  will  be 
in  great  pain,  seldom  if  ever  lies  down,  and  in  breathing  the 
ribs  are  fixed  and  the  abdominal  muscles  used.  This  will 
cause  a  well-defined  line  or  crease  running  along  the  lower 
ends  of  the  ribs.  The  animit  will  not  move  voluntarily  and 
when  forced  evinces  much  suffering.  When  struck  gently  in 
the  ribs  he  will  groan  and  attempt  to  evade  the  blow.  There 
is  also  a  painful  characteristic  cough  frequently  present. 

Treatment — Do  not  move  the  animal,  but  keep  warm  and 
comfortable.  Apply  mustard  to  the  sides  and  give  one  ounce 
of  brandy  in  four  times  as  much  water  every  two  hours. 

SUNSTROKE. 

All  animals  undergoing  severe  exertion  while  exposed  to- 
the  sun's  rays  during  the  heated  term  are  liable  to  sunstroke. 
The  attack  may  be  sudden  or  there  may  be  signs  of  its  ap- 
proach. When  sudden  the  animal  simplv  drops,  but  as  a 
general  thing  retains  sufficient  consciousness  to  struggle  on 
theground.  The  premonitory  symptoms  are  an  indisposi- 
tion to  go  on,  signs  of  giddiness  and  stupor,  and  if  forced  to 
go  the  horse  will  make  a  few  steps  and  suddenly  stop,  prop 
himself,  hang  his  head  as  if  becoming  sleepy  or  unconscious, 
and  finally  fall.  The  body  may  or  may  not  be  covered  with 
perspiration  and  the  breathing  is  hurried  and  panting,  and 
finally  he  will  be  perfectly  still. 

Treatment — Get  the  animal  out  of  the  sun  into  the  shade 
and  dash  cold  water  over  him,  or,  better  still,  turn  a  hose  on 
him.  If  at  hand,  apply  a  big  of  chopped  ice  to  the  back  of 
the  head  and  along  the  spine,  continuing  until  animation  re- 
turns. Give  internally  two  ounces  of  brandy  in  four  times  as 
much  water.  When  the  animal  recovers  it  should  be  slowly 
led  home  and  not  worked  for  several  days. 

COLIC. 

This  disease  is  particularly  common,  and  is  the  result  of 
indigestible  or  irritating  matter  in  the  intestines.  It  is  of  two 
kinds,  spasmodic  and  flatulent.  In  the  former,  the  irritating 
substances,  such  as  hard,  drv  fasces,  are  located  in  the  small 
intestines;  it  will  also  result  from  anything  causing  an  irreg- 
ular contraction  of  the  small  intestines,  such  as  a  sudden  chill 
upon  a  warm  skin,  thus  affecting  the  intestines  through  the 
circulation.  Flatulent  or  wind  colic  is  the  result  of  fermen- 
tation of  quantities  of  undigested  food — generally  green — 
and  a  generation  of  gas  which  distends  the  bowels  so  as  to  be 
noticeable  from  both  sides  of  the  belly. 

Symptoms — In  spasmodic  colic  the  attack  comes  on  sud- 
denly, perhaps  when  the  horse  is  standing  quiet.  He  will 
suddenly  begin  to  exhibit  signs  of  uneasiness,  switch  his  tail, 
look  around  at  his  sides,  and  begin  pawing  and  stamping;  he 
may  strike  at  his  belly  with  his  hind  feet  or  throw  himself 
on  the  ground,  roll  over,  showing  marked  distress  and  break 
out  in  perspiration.  The  spasm  may  pass  ofi,  to  occur  in  a 
few  moments  with  iucreased  severity.  The  symptoms  of  wind 
colic  are  similar  to  those  of  spasmodic  with  the  exception  of 
coming  on  more  slowly,  the  great  difference  being  in  the  dis- 
tension with  gas,  and  frequently  rumbling  noises  in  the 
bowels,  with  evacuations  of  wind.  Treatment  of  colic  must 
be  prompt;  sometimes  a  stimulant  of  two  or  three  ounces  of 
alcohol  in  four  times  as  much  water  will  relieve  the  animal. 
Rubbing  the  animal's  belly  or  the  application  of  heated  rugs 
or  hot  water  is  advisable.  Exercise  at  a  fast  or  slow  pace  at 
times  is  good. 

The  following  drench  is  also  efficacious  in  both  forms  of 
colic  and  the  ingredients  easily  obtained  : 

Spirits  of  turpentine 1  oz. 

Linseed  oil .* 12  ox. 

Laudanum... -...  1  oz. 

Mix  and  give  as  one  dose ;  repeat  iu  one  hour  if  the  animal 
is  still  in  pain.  In  wind  colic  three  or  four  ounces  of  ordi- 
nary baking  soda  can  be  used  to  advantage,  along  with  the 
drench  mentioned.  After  the  symptoms  of  colic  are  relieved 
and  the  animal  appears  as  usual,  care  must  still  ba  exercised 
to  prevent  a  relapse.  The  feed  for  a  day  or  two  should  be 
light,  consisting  of  a  warm  bran  mash  with  half  a  feed  of 
bruised  oats ;  the  water  should  also  have  the  chill  taken  off, 
and  be  given  at  moderate  intervals,  and  the  animal  gradually 
returned  to  its  regular  diet. 

AZOTURIA. 

This  disease  is  frequently  termed  spinal  meningitis  or  kid- 
ney disease  from  the  fact  that  it  is  due  to  an  increase  of  urea 
in  the  system  and  a  failure  upon  the  part  of  the  kidneys  to 
eliminate  it.  It  is  the  result  of  high  feeding  and  a  lack  of 
exercise.  The  history  of  a  case  of  this  kind  is  as  follows  :  A 
horse  that  has  been  at  work  is  for  some  reason  laid  up  for 
two  or  three  days,  or  longer,  and  no  reductioL  made  in  his 
feed.  When  taken  out  of  the  barn,  as  a  result  of  his  rest  he 
is  particularly  lively.  After  being  driven  a  short  distance, 
varying  from  a  block  to  a  mile  or  two,  he  suddenly  begins  to 
sweat  in  patches  ;  the  muscles  over  the  loins  begin  to  swell, 
and  there  is  inability  to  move  the  limbs — generally  one  hind 
leg,  and  it  drags  behind  ;  when  he  attempts  to  place  weight 
on  it  it  knuckles  over  and  the  animal  goes  down,  and  may  He

quiet  or  struggle  furiously  and  become  delirious.  Call  the 
nearest  veterinarian  and  do  not  attempt  to  move  the  animal 
until  he  arrives,  as  the  bladder  is  generally  full  of  urine,  and 
until  this  is  drawn  there  is  great  danger  of  rupturing  it.  The 
disease  is  very  fatal,  more  so  in  the  city  than  in  the  country  ; 
but  can  be  prevented  by  reducing  a  horse's  feed  when  idle. 

In  the  administration  of  medicine  it  is  common  amongst 
grooms  to  pinch  the  horse's  throat.  This  practice  cannot  be 
too  strongly  condemned,  and  is  the  direct  cause  cf  many  cases 
of  fatal  mechanical  pneumonia,  as  the  choking  causes  the 
animal  to  cough,  which  is  apt  to  allow  more  or  less  of  the 
mixture  to  pass  into  the  windpipe.  Pouring  water  into  the 
nostrils  or  drenching  by  the  nostrils  is  also  common  practice, 
and  is  very  objectionable,  being  a  fertile  cause  of  nasal  gleet 

In  conclusion  it  may  be  said  that  many  horses  are  annually 
killed  bv  the  promiscuous  administration  of  medicine,  and 
hence  it  is  wise  to  defer  treatment,  save  as  suggested,  until 
the  arrival  of  the  veterinarian. — By  the  Horseman's  Veter-

At    Eclectic's    Home. 


While  complaints  are  being  heard  about  the  drought  in 
many  portioos  of  this  State,  Sonoma  never  looked  better 
than  it  does  this  year,  and  the  gem  of  the  valley,  Kancho 
Cotati  (the  home  of  Eclectic),  is  as  pretty  a  place  today  as 
one  could  look  upon.  Grasses,  alfilleria,  clover  and  alfalfa 
find  here  a  rich,  warm  soil,  and  grow  and  '.thrive  in 
a  way  that  would  make  the  farmers  and  stockmen  of  the 
great  San  Joaquin  or  Santa  Clara  valleys  look  with  envy 
upon  its  broad  acres. 

High  as  the  top  of  the  new  board  fences,  which  enclose  the 
home  places  of  over  seventy  families  that  have  purchased 
little  holdings'  are  the  fields  of  rye  grass,  oats,  barley  and 
wheat.  Down  in  the  pastures  on  the  portion  of  this  great 
ranch  of  rich  land  that  have  been  selected  by  Wilfred  Page 
as  his  home  place  (a  well-appointed  stock  farm  of  some  440 
acres  of  valley  and  rolling  land,  the  latter  well  sheltered  with 
a  grove  of  live  oak  trees)  are  to  be  seen  fat,  slick  cattle,  and 
splendidly- bred  broodmares  with  foals  by  their  sides.  Within 
the  broad  three-quarter  mile  track  and  in  the  paddocks 
adjoining  it  are  yearlings  and  two-year-olds  sired  by  Eclectic, 
full  brother  to  Arion,  2:07|.  The  track  itself  is  without 
doubt  one  of  the  finest  in  California.  It  is  made  on  a 
portion  of  the  land  that  is  known  as  silt,  a  kind  of  a  sandy 
loam  which  does  not  "cup  "  or  get  uneven.  An  hour  after 
the  heaviest  rainstorms  it  is  tit  to  jog  horses  on,  and  for  this 
reason, when  its  virtues  are  better  known,it  will  be  one  of  the 
greatest  resorts  in  California  for  trainers  to  develop  their 
horses  during  the  winter.  The  climate  cannot  be  surpassed, 
and  the  well-made,  commodious  box-stalls  which  Mr.  Page 
erected  will  be  Ifound  to  merit  the  endorsement  of  all 
visiting  horsemen. 

Each  of  the  buildings  contain  six  box  stalls  14x14,  are 
made  after  the  very  latest  desigos,  and  are  models  of  strength 
and  neatness,  besides  being  well  ventilated. 

Eclectic  is  looking  better  than  we  have  ever  seen  him 
Hia  colts  and  fillies  are  models  of  symmetry,  all  bays  or 
browns,  not  a  white-marked  one  among  them,  and  everyone 
that  has  been  handled  shows  that  the  gait  and  speed  of  Arion 
is  transmissible,  for  more  perfect-moving  or  speedier 
ones  are  not  to  be  seen  anywhere.  Everyone  who  saw  Mialma 
work  last  year  remembers  her  remarkably  smooth  gait,  and 
to  see  these  half-brothers  and  sisters  scarcely  bridle  wise 
start  offin  that  do-or-die  style,  arouses  a  desire  which  can- 
not be  suppressed  to  see  how  fast  they  are  really  trotting.  The 
track,  as  we  have  said  before  ,is  the  best  we  have  seen  in  Cali- 
fornia, not  excepting  the  famous  courses  at  Pleasanlon,  Lodi 
and  Sacramento,  and  to  see  thesons  and  daughters  of  Eclectic 
out  of  the  well-formed, well-bredjmatrons  jogging  up  and  down 
its  smooth  surface  is  a  delight  appreciated  by  all  who  love  to 
see  perfect-gaite*',  good-acting,  level-headed  colts  and  fillies 
move. 

In  the  band  of  broodmares  are  to  be  found  daughters  of 
Dexter  Prince,  Anteeo,  2:16>,  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15^,  Arthurton, 
Mambrino  Wilkes,  Mortimer,  2:27,  Alexander,  Mohawk 
Chief,  Elector,  2:21},  Alcona,  Admont.  Satellite,  2500,  Wood- 
nut,  Sultan  S.,  Dawn,  2:18|,  Hesperion  3203,  Alcona  Clay, 
Curtis  Hambletonian,  Del  Sur,  2:24£,  Clovis,  Glasgow  3343, 
Milton  Medium,  2:25?,  and  The  Moor.  All  of  these  mares 
are  'either  sisters  to  great  performers  or  are  registered 
standard.  Some  are  in  the  great  broodmare  list  and  all  of 
them  will  be,  if  we  are  to  judge  by  the  speed  shown  by  their 
produce. 

There  are  some  of  the  best-bred  and  finest-formed  young- 
sters on  this  farm  to  be  seen  in  California,  and  to  pick  out 
one  individual  that  is  better  than  another  in  the  little  band 
of  colts  and  fillies  would  take  an  expert,  and  even  he  would 
be  liable  to  err.  One  colt  we  selected  on  first  glance  is  a 
yearling  by  Eclectic  (of  course),  out  of  Reinette,  by  Dexter 
Prince  ;  second  dam  Clara  B.,  by  Nutwood ;  third  dam  by  St. 
Lawrence  (Rood house's).  He  is  splendidly  muscled,  and  has 
all  the  characteristics  that  one  must  look  for  in  a  trotter — gait, 
disposition,  conformation,  perfect  limbs  and  feet,  and  a  pure, 
frictionless  gait. 

The  sisters  to  Mialma,  being  by  Eclectic,  oat  of  Minnie 
Allen,  by  Arthurton,  second  dam  Lady  Allen,  by  G.  M. 
Patchen  Jr.  31,  etc.,  are  also  grand-looking,  but  to  describe 
the  merits  of  each  and  every  one  of  the  youngsters  would 
take  up  too  much  space;  sufficient  for  the  present,  is  the  fact 
that  not  only  the  progeny  of  Eclectic  to  be  seen  here,  but  all 
others,  that  are  owned  by  individuals  elsewhere,  are  looked 
upon  as  "  wonders,"  and  in  a  year  or  two  there  will  be  such  a 
demand  for  Eclectics  that  Mr.  Page  may  find  it  difficult  to 
supply  the  demand. 

There  is  another  sire  on  this  farm  that  should  not  be  over- 
looked, he  is  called  Holdfast.  He  is  sired  by  the  mighty 
i  ray  Wilkes  2:15},  out  of  Reinette,  by  Dexter  Prince,  second 
dam  Clara  B.,  by  Nutwood,  2:lSj,  etc.  He  is  a  pure-gaited 
trotter  and  very  promising.  Judging  by  the  appearance  of 
the  colts  and  fillies  by  him,  it  looks  very  much  as  if  Mr. 
Page  will  be  undecided  in  a  few  years  as  to  which  is  the  better 
sire,  Eclectic  or  Holdfast.  Their  progeny  will  make  a  splendid 
cross,  and  the  fame  of  Rancho  Cotati  as  a  stock  farm  will, 
through  these  youngsters,  be  known  from  the  Atlantic  to  the 
Pacific,  and  from  Canada  to  Mexico. 


Horse  Gossip  from  Santa  Barbara. 


Phoebe  Wilkes,  2:11,  made  her  first  appearance  this  year 
at  Freeport,  III.,  and  won  easily;  best  ime,  2:16i.  Hamble- 
tonian Wilkes,  her  sire,  will  have  a  large  increase  in  his 
2:30  list  this  year. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  asd  Sportsman.] 


Santa  Barbara, June  19. — Under  the  management  of  Dr. 
J.  H.  Goulding  and  J,  C.  Clancy,  our  track  has  been  kept  in 
first-class  condition,  and  it  is  the  fastest  track  in  Southern 
California.  The  horsemen  are  out  in  full  blast  and  it  is  ex- 
pected that  the  races  on  the  4th  of  July  will  be  well  contested. 
The  County  Fair  will  have  its  programme  out  rery  soon  and 
as  many  horses  are  in  training  all  over  the  Southern  District 
we  expect  to  have  a  good  meeting.  The  programme  will 
appear  in  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman. 

On  our  track  there  are  several  good  ones  in  training.  J.  A. 
Cody  has  among  his  string  of  trotters,  Miss  Monroe,  2:27A  to 
a  cart,  two  years  ago.  She  will  trot  below  2:20  this  year. 
She  is  by  the  great  two-miler,  Monroe  Chief.  Mr.  Cody  has 
also  Monroe  S.,  2:20},  Winwood,  2:33,  by  Antevolo;  Nor- 
wood, 2:37;  King  Pin  by  Electro;  Annie  S.,  by  Fearnaught; 
Seaside,  full  brother  to  Ben  Corbitt,  2:21,  by  Wm.  Corbitt, 
and  a  large  fine  looking  sorrel  gelding  by  Glenwood,  son  of 
Nutwood. 

Gillet  has  a  black  stallion  by  a  son  of  Bashaw,  Deitz 
Wilkes,  by  Guy  Wilkes,  2:15},  and  a  promising  pacer. 

F.  Menchaca  has  in  training  Midnight  by  Accident;  Lily 
F.  and  Logan. 

In  Santa  Maria  there  are  many  good  ones  in  training, 
Moses  B.,  Flyaway,  Fairlawn  and  colts,  and  the  fast  sprinter 
Comet. 

Although  this  has  been  a  comparatively  dry  year,  hay  and 
grain  high  and  the  money  market  embarassed,  still  the  horse- 
men are  very  busy  training  their  horses.  Mr.  Dunbar,  mana- 
ger and  trainer  for  1.  W.  Moore,  has  about  completed  his 
barns  and  paddocks.  The  famous  stallion  Surinam  and  the 
many  thoroughbred  and  standard  bred  mares  on  Mr.  Moore's 
ranch,  are  looking  only  as  such  fine  stock  can  look  while 
grazing  on  s'ch  a  ranch.  Mr.  Moore  has  the  finest  lot  of 
mares  ever  brought  to  the  country,  and  under  the  able  man- 
agement of  Mr.  Dunbar,  the  venture  is  certain  of  success. 
Surinam  can  be  seen  every  morning  taking  his  exercise  on 
the  main  road  and  he  looks  all  over  the  racehorse  that  he 
proved  himself  to  be  when  he  faced  the  starter.  Midnight, 
George  Sherman's  favorite  sprinter,  looks  well  and  it  will  be 
no  surprise  to  all  who  know  him  if  he  wins  a  large  portion  of 
the  money  hung  up  by  the  associations  of  Southern  Califor- 
nia for  their  races  to  which  he  is  eligibie.jF.  Menchaca 
knows  how  to  condition  him  and  if  he  does  as  he  did  at  the 
Bay  District  this  spring,  the  boys  are  sure  to  win  on  him 
when  he  faces  the  starter.  Bap.baea.

I  all  that  Trainer  Geers  asks  of  him,  and  recentlv  reeled  of}  a 
[  mile  in  2:16}. 

Fantasy,  in  the  judgment  of  many  of  (he  best  judges,  the 
future  queen  of  the  trotting  turf,  has  done  several  miles  in 
1  1:05  and  1:06,  and  has  lately  covered  the  Bjffalo  track  with- 
out a  skip  in  2:17.     It  looks  just   now  as  if  "  Pa"  Hamlin 
i  would  have  a  pair  of  world-beaters  in  the  near  by-and-by. 
The  late  "Squire"  Abington,  so  well  known  on  the  Eng- 
lish turf  as  an  owner  of  racehorses,  who   also  liked  to   ride 
them  himself,  is  more  than  equalled  here  by  Jackson  I.  Case, 
:  the  young  Mayor  of  Racine,  Wis.     As  the  son  and  heir  of 
the  late  J.  I.  Case,  the  millionaire  agricultural   implement 
i  manufacturer,  he  is  very  wealthy,  yet  he  trains  and   drives 
:  his  own  stable  of  trotters  and  pacers  and  does  it  successfully. 
:  A  short   time    ago  one  of  the  leadiug  trainers  of  trotters  ad- 
i  vised  him  to  get  a  practical  trainer  instead  of  knocking  them 
.  out  himself.  Young  Case's  reply  was  characteristic.  He  said  : 
"The  only  difference  betweec  you  and  me  is  that  you  knock 
out  horses  for  which  some  one  else  has  to  pay,  and  I  have 
the  pleasure  of  knocking  out  my  own  and  have  no  training 
bills  to  pay."     This  was  a  modest  wsy  of  stating  the  case,  as 
Mr.  Case  had  a  good  winning  stable  last  season. 

The  new  track  of  the  Detroit  Driving  Club  is  completed. 
It  is  pronounced  a  triumph  of  the  track  builder  art  and  en- 
gineering skill,  being  so  under  drained  as  to  be  absolutely 
superior  to  dry  weather  and  almost  indifferent  to  rain. —

To  the  Public  :    There  having  been  so  much  interference  and  ani- 
mus displayed  in  the  matter  oftbe  sun  dance  and  races  that  were  to 
I  have  been  held  at  the  fair  grounds  on  June  la,  16  and  17  next,  and 
I  fearing  and  believing  that  the  same  or  similar  influences  will  be 
I  brought  to  bear  upon  aud  mar  the  success  of  the  race  meeting  that 
i  has  been  so  extensively  advertised  as  to  come  off  daring  nest  month. 
:  I  hereby  give  notice  that  all  the  races  that  were  to  beheld  by  the 
|  Great  Falls  Racing  Association  under  mv  name,  being  June  15. 16 
and  17,  and  Jaly  2.  3.  i.  5.  6  and  7,  1894.  are  declared  off.     All  stakes 
deposited  will  be  returned.  (Signed)  L.  E.vbight. 

This  means  that  Great  Falls  will  not  take  its  dates  in  the 
Montana  racing  circuit  this  year.  The  card  itself  plainly 
indicates  that  the  withdrawal  is  the  result  of  unpleasant  inci- 
dents which  have  proved  to  be  a  source  of  great  annoyance 
to  those  who  have  the  affairs  of  the  racing  association  in 
charge.  The  news  has  created  a  good  deal  of  severe  comment 
among  residents  of  Great  Falls  who  had  hoped  for  a  success- 
ful meeting  here  and  who  were  readv  and  willing  to  help 
make  it  so. 

Some  of  these  people  have  already  given  a  good  deal  in 
money  and  invaluable  time  toward  making  the  races  a  suc- 
cess. They  were  successful  in  interesting  turfmen  through- 
out the  West,  and  several  of  the  best  horses  in  the  country 
were  entered  for  the  races.  There  are  not  less  tban  sixty 
horses  now  in  training  on  the  Great  Falls  track,  and  the  pro- 
gramme would  have  attracted  hundreds  of  visitors.  But  the 
managers  appear  to  have  grown  weary  of  criticism,  disap- 
pointment and  the  failure  of  those  who  refuse  to  co-operate, 
and  the  Great  Falls  races  are  declared  off. 


Trotting  Trifles. 


A  sensational  dispatch  was  sent  out  from  Pittsfield,  Mass. 
which  appeared  in  several  papers,  to  the  effect  that  Krem- 
lin, the  five-year-old  trotting  stallion  champion,  with  a  record 
of  2:07 1,  had  trotted  a  trial  half  mile  in  1:00.  This  statement 
was  so  extraordinary,  in  view  of  the  fact  that  Kremlin  was 
known  to  be  in  the  stud  and  that  the  Allen  Farm  trainer  is 
Ed  Bither,  who  gave  Jay-Eye-See,  2:10,  and  Phallas,  2:13^, 
the  champion  gelding  and  stallion  of  theirjday,  that  many  were 
sceptical  about  the  matter.  Enquiry  developed  the  fact  that 
Mr.  Allen  had  some  visitors  at  the  farm  and  instructed 
Bither  to  give  the  horse  an  easy  mile,  but  to  step  him  out 
the  last  eighth.  He  did  so,  and  the  gallant  champion  did 
the  distance  in  0:14$.  This  is  a  marvelous  performance,  be- 
cause it  shows  that  the  horse  has  all  his  ancient  speed,  and, 
as  he  is  as  sound  as  a  new  dollar,  he  should,  after  a  careful 
preparation,  make  a  bold  bid  for  the  stallion  record  of  2:051 
in  the  Autumn. 

But  an  eighth  in  I  I:  1  i  j  is  not  a  half  mile  in  a  minute. 

The  two  trotters  above  all  others  which  are  attracting  the 
attention  of  the  trotting  world  at  the  present  time  are  C.  J. 
Hamlin's  green  colt,  Rex  Americus,  and  his  peerless  four- 
year-old  mare,  Fantasy,  2:08},  who  holds  the  three-year-old 
rec  >rd.  Rex  Americus  as  a  two-year-old,  trotted  a  private 
trial  of  2:15}.  When  the  colt  starters  for  this  season  were 
announced,  his  owner  found  that  his  great  colt  enjoyed  the 
unique  distinction  of  being  barred  in  all  the  stakes  for  his 
age.  This  is  not  the  way  to  encourage  rich  men  to  pay 
$15,000  for  a  green  colt,  which  Mr.  Hamlin  did,  but  the  vet- 
eran  horseman  has  liberally  entered   him  in  the   all-aged 


The  Coning-  San  Luis  Obis  po  Fair. 


The  office  of  Judge  Egan  was  recently  the  scene  of  the 
gathering  of  the  directors  of  the  Agricultural  Association, 
whose  labors  have  done  so  much  towards  moving  along  the 
wheels  of  progress  in  the  Sixteenth  district. 

This  season  the  fair,  from  present  indications,  will  he  one 
of  the  best  that  ever  astonished  an  Eastern  tourist.  There  is 
a  well  defined  tendency  among  the  merchants,  the  hotel  men 
and  others  of  our  enterprising  business  population  to  lend 
their  assistance  towards  making  the  races  out  at  the  track 
more  interesting,  and  really  more  profitable  for  the  winner 
than  ever  before.  The  Agricultural  Association  and  the 
Track  Association  are  in  reality  two  distinct  organizations. 
The  former  is  favored  with  the  benefits  of  a  State  appropria- 
tion, while  the  latter  must  plod  along  and  look  for  the  shekels 
at  the  entrance  gates.  But  this  season,  beyond  a  doubt, they 
.will  meet  with  strong  encouragement  among  our  business 
men,  and  there  will  ba  a  rattling  big  time  when  the  races 
are  called  this  fall.  A  committee  on  this  matter  was  named 
and  will  act  at  once. 

September  25th  to  29th  was  decided  upon  as  the  time  for 
holding  the  fair. 

The  following  officers  were  elected  :  President,  E.  W.

HOOF-BEATS. 


Off  for  the  East. 


The  train  which  leave3  Pleasanton  this  morning  carries 
the  last  of  the  Pleasanton  Stock  Farm  horses  that  have  en- 
gagements in  the  East.  Dr.  H.  Latham  accompanies  them  to 
Council  Bluffs  and  will  furnish  the  Breeder  and  Sports- 
man with  letters  every  week  from  the  great  trotting  centers 
of  the  East,  and  also  keep  our  readers  posted  on  the  doings  of 
the  California-bred  horses  there.  Everyone  will  be  pleased  to 
hear  about  them,  and  especially  when  described  by  that  "prince 
of  correspondents."  Following  is  a  list  of  the  horses  to  be 
shipped; 

Miss  Kate  (2)  by  Direct,  dam  by  Redwood,  2:27  £. 

Mary  Osborne  (2)  by  Azmoor,  2:20£,  dam  Elsie  (dam  of 
Novelist  (2:27)  by  General  Benton;  second  dam  Elaine,  2:20, 
by  Messenger  Duroc.  This  is  the  filly  that  Senator  Stanford 
named  two  days  previous  to  his  death  and  when  she  appears 
in  the  eastern  circuit  it  will  not  surprise  us  if  all  the  eastern 
turf  journals  describe  her  beautiful  form  and  perfect  trotting 
action  as  we  have  in  the  past.  She  ambles  when  starting  away 
but  soon  after  gets  squared  and  no  piece  of  machinery  could 
move  more  evenly  than  she,  as  the  distance  is  shortened  be- 
tween her  head  and  the  wire. 

Ramon,  2:17},  the  game  chestnut  son  of  Sidney,  2:191,  and 
Silver  Eye  by  Abbottsford,  is  not  very  big  but  he  is  *s  game 
a  pacer  as  ever  looked  through  a  bridle,  and  a  more  symmet- 
rical formed  horse  would  be  hard  to  find  anywhere. 

Scud  is  a  two-year-old  sister  to  Don  Lowell,^2:20},  and  for 
the  very  little  exercising  she  has  had,  Captain  Griffiths  and 
Monroe  Salisbury  are  inclined  to  believe  that  in  her  they 
have  a  second  Nancy  Hanks. 

Erector,  a  six-year-old  by  Director,  2:17 

Ella  H.,  by  Antelo,  2:16}. 

White  Cap,  the  mate  for  Flying  Jib.  As  he  is  not  entered 
for  any  of  the  eastern  events,  it  is  believed  he  will  be  sold  in 
the  East.  He  can  pace  a  half-mile  in  one  minute. 

In  order  to  fill  the  car,  Superintendent  J.  H.  Neal  will  send 
a  number  of  choicely  bred  mares  and  colts  belonging  to  horse- 
men in  the  East.  ^ 

Another  Stein-way  in  the  List. 


Cobwebs,  a  chestnut  gelding  by  Whips,  entered  the  2:30 
list  at  Cornwall,  New  York,  May  30th,  getting  a  record  of 
2:29£. 

G.  Walbaum  has  bought  from  Matt  Storn  the  four-year- 
old  bay  colt  Hermitage,  by  imp.  Friar  Tuck,  dam  Mistake. 
Terms  private.  

In  the  2:30  list  for  1894  are  nine  performers  whose  breed- 
is  marked  "unknown."  Up  to  date  there  are  seventy-six 
new  comers  to  the  2:30  list. 


As  the  result  of  friendly  bantering  that  has  been  going  on 
among  the  horsemen  around  Eureka  for  several  days,  those 
who  were  fortunate  to  be  at  South  Park  last  Wednesday 
afternoon  (June  13th),  witnessed  some  exciting  speed  con- 
tests. 

The  first  of  these  was  a  2  in  3  trot  between  Antonsen's 
Covey,  owner  driving,  and  McNeill's  Dudley,  Henry  Haas 
driving.  The  purse  was  the"  best  bale  of  hav  in  the  country" 
which  Covey  will  exercise  his  grinders  on,  having  won  it  in 
straight  heats.     Time,  2:25  and  2:26}. 

The  next  event  was  a  single  dash  trot  between  Dr.  Wal- 
lace's Unknown  and  Johnny  Quill,  which  was  won  by  the 
latter  in  2:32}. 

A  100-yard  foot  race  between  amateur  sprinters  closed  the 
day. — Humboldt  Times. 


June  7th  the  Stewards  of  the  Jockey  Club  suspended 
Jockey  McDermott  until  June  11th  for  using  abusive  language 
at  Narragansett  Park,*Providence. 


A  man  in  Pleasanton  has  made  a  wager  of  $100  with  an- 
other horseman  that  three  out  of  the  first  crop  of  colts  by  Di- 
rect would  enter  the  2:20  list  this  year. 

Fred  Foster  has  shipped  Dr.  Rice  West.  The  horse 
trained  off  and  Mr.  Foster  wisely  decided  to  give  him  a  rest, 
after  which  he  will  probably  start  him  at  some  of  the  West- 
ern meetings.  

Every  colt  at  the  Pleasanton  Stock  Farm  has  been  gelded 
but  one  and  that  one  is  called  "Too  Soon."  Mr.  Salisbury 
has  decided  not  to  care  for  stock  for  other  people  next  winter 
and  will  reserve  the  paddocks  and  fields  for  his  own  brood 
mares. 


Francis  Trevelyan,  of  Daily  America  and  Mercury, 
literally  burns  Garrison  up  for  his  ride  on  Henry  of  Na- 
varre in  the  Withers,  which  Domino  won  by  a  nose.  "  The 
Snapper"  tried  to  make  a  grand  stand  finish,  and  got  fooled 
by  "  the  Dutchman,"  Fred  Taral. 

Quality  by  Electioneer  out  of  McCa  by  Almont,  second 
dam  Old  Dolly,  trotted  two  heats  at  Buffalo  Driving  Park 
matinee  Thursday,  June  14th,  in  2:21  and  2:214.  At  the 
same  meeting  Edwin  C,  the  pacer,  by  Morrow's  Elector, 
paced  a  mile  easily  in  2:13i.  Edwin  C.'s  dam  was  Lady 
Coonie  by  Venture. 

Now  that  Messrs.  Boyle  A  Littlefield  have  dissolved  part- 
nership, the  members  of  the  old  firm  will  each  have  a  sepa- 
rate racing  establishment.  C.  Boyle  will  race  under  his  old 
colors,  blue  jacket  and  black  cap,  while  Mr.  Littlefield  will 
prabably  again  adopt  the  black  and  gold  stripes  that  he  raced 
so  successfully  under  before  the_  co-partnership  with  Mr. 
Boyle.  The  latter,  by  the  way,  expects  also  to  maintain  a 
breeding  establishment  of  some  magnitude  in  Canada, — Spirit 
of  the  Times. 


The  Weber  bovs  did  some  wonderful  work  at  Hawthorne 
last  Saturday.  Charley  rode  three  winners  and  a  second  out 
of  four  mounts,  the  winners  being  at  odds  of  4  to  1,  3  to  1  and 
6  to  1.  Johnny,  out  of  two  mounts,  rode  a  winner  and  a 
second  horse.  Of  the  older  boy's  win  on  Vassal  in  the 
Chicago  Derby  that  day  the  Chicago  Inter  Ocean  said  : 
"  Johnny  Weber  rode  a  careful  race,  showing  good  judgment 
as  to  pace,  and  nursing  the  favorite  well  throughout.  Despot 
was  never  urged,  and  ran  merely  to  do  the  trick  if  the  other 
one  couldn't.  He  was  very  sensibly  held  in  check,  in  view 
of  the  hard  race  in  store  for  him  next  Saturday,  when  Mr. 
Corrigan  thinks  he  will  make  a  good  showing  with  the  crack 
Eastern  colts  of  Lis  age."

Entries  for   the   Portland   Meeting. 


Entries  to  the  trotting  and  pacing  events  to 
come  off  «t  Irviogton  Park  Jane  30  to  July  7 
closed  with  the  finest  array  of  speed  horses 
ever  assembled  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  Sons 
and  daughters  of  I  he  mighty  Red  Wilkes,  the 
champion  Stamboul,  the  great  sires  of  speed — 
Roy  Wilkes,  Dexter  Prince  and  Director — 
will  compete  with  the  get  of  Altamont,  Rock- 
wood,  Lemontj  and  Hambletonian  Mambri.no 
of  our  own  State.  Never  before  have  the  blood 
lines  of  such  champions  been  seen  on  an  Ore- 
gon course,  and  it  is  predicted  by  horsemen 
that  each  race  will  be  a  contest  from  start  to 
finish.  The  large  premiums  hung  up  by  the 
association  have  had  their  effect,  and  the  run- 
niog  races  will  be  competed  for  by  the  best 
horses  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  California  alone 
will  send  up  10  carloads  of  her  best  and  fastest 
runners.  Hon.  H.  M.  La  Rue  of  Sacramento, 
has  been  engaged  as  presiding  judge,  and  his 
reputation  for  being  honest,  fearless  and  com- 
petent is  well  known  wherever  he  has  pre- 
sided.

O'Kane's  Roller  Brake  for  Sulkies. 

Tbe  roller  attachment  effectually  prevents  accidents  from  horse  rearing,  as  it  allows  no  forward  movernen  t 
of  sulky  while  the  shafts  are  elevated,  at  the  same  lime  permitting  the  sulky  to  roll  back  in  case  the  horse  <as 
very  often  happens)  takes  a  step  or  two  backward  while  in  the  air. 

NO  TEARl.M;  OFF  OF  TIRE,  as  in  other  brakes.  Weighs  only  2<»  pounds.  Can  be  attached  to  any 
sulky  in  five  minutes.

Best  Pasturage  in  California. 

Having  purchased  the  celebrated  Valensln  Stock 
Farm,  one  and  a  half  miles  from  Pleasanton,  Alameda 
County,  I  am  prepared  to  take  mares,  geldings  or  stal- 
lions for  pasturage. 

The  climate  is  unsurpassed.  The  pasturage,  consist- 
ing of  alnlleria,  clover,  rye  grass  and  alfalfa.  Is  divided 
Into  Btrongly  fenced  fields  (not  a  toot  ot  wire  being  on 
the  place),  horse  troughs  in  every  paddock.  WeU  ven- 
tilated box  stalls,  forty-two  In  number,  a  three-guarter 
mile  track,  and  every  appointment  necessary  for  the 
care  (and  development  if  necessary  I  of  thoroughbreds. 

The  reputation  of  thlsceleorated  farm  is  well  known 
all  over  the  United  States;  for  the  class  of  stock  here- 
tofore raised  and  developed  on  It  has  given  it  a  name 
as  "  a  home  for  horses  "  second  to  none  in  America. 

The  best  care  taken  of  all  stock  consigned,  but  uo  re-

LAME  HORSES  are  caused  largely 
J  by  the  hoof  not  growing".  Little 
'  attention  is  given  this  subject 
by  owners  as  a  rule  but  it  is  an 
important  one  and  is  only  a 
matter  of  time  until  its  necessi- 
ty will  be  seen.  A  hoof  that  has 
stood  the  hard  hammering  they 
naturally  get  for  years  without 
the  proper  attention  stops  grow- 
ing and  the  horse  becomes  lame.  Then 
is  the  time  that  authorities  will  disa- 
gree when  called  upon  to  find  the 
trouble  that  it  may  be  remedied.  This 
can  both  be  cured  and  avoided  by  the 
use  of 

Campbell's  Morse  Foot  Remedy 

as  all  owners,  drivers  and  business  men 
will  testify  who  have  tried  it.  To  new 
customers  it  may  be  of  interest  to  know 
you  can  go  to  your  dealer  and  buy  a 
can  with  the  understanding  that  if  it 
does  not  accomplish  all  that  is  claimed 
for  it  money  will  be  refunded.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  is  a  haudsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth,  elegantly  printed 
superbly  illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  galtlng,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  aud  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Silby,  the  owner  of  St. Bel,  says  of 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft,  and  it  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  his  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  in  the  hands  ot  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

Chicago,  June  23. — For  the  fourth  time  E.  J.  Baldwin 
has  pocketed  the  rich  American  Derby  stake.  To-day  his 
bay  colt,  Key  el  Santa  Anita,  the  son  of  Cheviot  and  Alaho, 
came  under  the  wire  at  Washington  Park  so  far  in  front  of 
the  great  Eastern  cracks  that  to  holders  of  tickets  on  favor- 
ites it  seemed  that  Senator  Grady  and  Domino  were  anchored 
in  the  stretch.  It  was  a  tremendous  surprise  to  the  talent. 
In  the  first  place  Baldwin's  entry  had  been  beaten  all  along 
the  line  by  selling  platers  of  the  poorest  form. 

Unbeaten  Domino,  with  the  master  jockey  Taral  astride, 
and  the  great  Senator  Grady,  with  the  incomparable  "Snap- 
per "  Garrison  up,  were  the  only  "  things  "  considered.  On 
these  two  mounts  money  poured  into  the  bookmakers'  tills  in 
a  golden  stream.  Forty  to  1  against  Key  el  Santa  Anita  still 
stood  on  blackboards  when  the  Derby  contestants  came  to 
the  post.  A  few,  very  few,  novices  attracted  by  the  odds 
risked  a  dollar  or  two  on  the  California  colt,  but  thousands 
surged  and  fought  in  the  betting  ring  to  stake  their  hundreds 
and  tens  of  hundreds  on  the  Eastern  nags. 

Little  Willie  Van  Karen,  almost  unknown  as  a  jockey, 
with  a  mount  that  on  form  should  have  commanded  no  at- 
tention whatever,  was  pitted  against  three  of  the  best  riders 
in  the  country,  and  yet  he  won  the  great  event  handily.  Key 
el  Santa  Anita  went  the  distance  in  2:36  and  tied  the  best 
American  Derby  time,  that  of  Boundless  in  1893. 

The  crowd  at  Washington  Park  was  estimated  at  from  30,- 
000  to  35,000.  While  not  so  large  as  the  vast  throng  that 
witnessed  the  $50,000  event  of  the  Columbian  year,  it  is  con- 
ceded that  the  personnel  of  the  spectators  was  greatly  supe- 
rior. All  fashionable  Chicago  turned  out,  and  the  infield 
presented  the  most  brilliant  spectacle  ever  witnessed  at 
Washington  Park,  if,  indeed,  it  did  not  eclipse  the  scenes  of 
any  other  American  race  course  on  great  days. 

The  day  was  perfect,  though  hot  in  the  grand  stand.  The 
sun  rose  on  a  cloudless  sky  and  made  resplendent  the  mag- 
nificent boulevards  and  parks  through  which  the  columns  of 
shining  equipages  was  soon  to  roll.  The  great  city  gave  itself 
np  to  the  excitement  of  Derby  day.  The  outcome  of  the 
famous  event  was  the  sole  topic  of  conversation  in  the  down 
town  district,  in  the  shops  and  in  the  homes.  By  noon  the 
crowds  on  State  street  were  perceptibly  thinned  and  an  hour 
later  shoppers  had  disappeared.  At  2:30  o'clock  probably  95 
per  cent,  of  the  crowd  that  witnessed  the  day's  sport  had 
reached  the  park. 

The  scene  was  magnificent.  This  year  the  women  largely 
affected  white  in  their  gowns  and  millinery.  The  field  was 
filled  with  carriages  to  the  depth  of  200  feet.  In  these 
shone  costly  parasols  of  white  lace  that  seemed  from  a  dis- 
tance to  be  so  many  field  daisies  rising  from  the  green  turf. 
The  grand  stand  was  packed.  White  gowns  also  predomi- 
nated there,  but  there  was  enough  of  color  to  produce  the 
efiect  as  viewed  from  the  infield  of  a  solid  bank  of  flowers.  It 
was  a  picture  of  color,  of  animation  and  joyousness. 

Up  to  nearly  1  o'clock  the  sua  had  hung  in  a  cloudless  sky 
of  deep  blue,  but  there  was  a  ripple  of  air  from  out  ihe  south- 
east and  the  scorching  rays  were  tempered.  Suddenly  dull 
clouds  appeared  in  the  west  and  rolled  rapidly  on.  A  breeze 
rose  and  came  laden  with  the  mes.-<age  of  rain  and  in  a  few 
minutes  great  drops  of  water  tumbled  out  of  the  fast-flying 
clouds  snd  they  came  down  as  though  it  meant  to  ruin  all  the 
pretty  costumes  in  the  infield  and  turn  the  fast  track  into  a 
bog.  In  two  minutes  the  rain  ceased  to  fall,  and  the  sun  and 
pretty  girls  came  out  simultaneously.     Just  before  the  Derby 


was  called  there  was  another  rain  scare,  but  happily  for  the 
new  gowns  and  fast  time  only  a  few  drops  fell. 

It  was  4:55  o'clock  when  the  bugle  called  the  rival  racers 
ont.  Alcenor  was  the  first  to  come  out  through  the  paddock 
gate,  closely  followed  by  Resplendent,  Despot,  Prince  Carl, 
Orinda  and  Key  el  Santa  Anita  in  the  order  named,  but  of 
this  lot  only  Prince  Crrl  came  in  for  any  applause,  and  that 
not  because  of  his  good  looks,  bat  simply  for  the  reason  that 
his  little  owner,  Chris  Smith,  is  very  popular  with  the  Chi- 
cago public. 

Hardly  bad  they  appeared  on  the  track  before  the  Eastern 
trio  were  seen  coming  down  the  stretch,  having  received  per- 
mission from  the  judges  to  saddle  at  the  stables.  Domino 
came  first,  looking  well,  and  as  he  and  the  Little  Dutchman 
pulled  up  in  front  of  the  grand  stand  he  was  greeted  with 
great  applause.  Dorian  followed  closely,  and  the  son  of 
Sir  Modred,  made  many  friends  by  his  fine  appearance.  Sana- 
tor  Grady,  with  Garrison  up,  was  also  liberally  applauded, 
as  for  some  reason  or  other  the  general  public  had  formed 
the  opinion  that  the  race  was  to  be  between  the  pair — a  mis- 
taken idea  that  cost  them  a  very  large  amount  of  money  and 
added  very  materially  to  the  bookmakers'  pockets. 

They  were  slowly  cantered  to  the  post,  and  after  several 
breakaways,  in  which  Orinda,  Despot  and  Domino  were 
leaders,  the  flag  fell  to  one  of  "  Old  Petts'  "  best  efforts,  the 
horses  having  been  only  thirteen  minutes  at  the  post.  Despot 
was  first  to  show,  he  only  being  a  head  in  front  of  Domino 
who  was  closely  followed  by  Key  el  Santa  Anita,  Dorian, 
Orinda,  Prince  Carl,  Resplendent,  Alcenor  and  Senator 
Grady  in  the  order  named,  no  daylight  being  visible  between 
them.  The  pace  was  slow  from  the  start,  and  Alcenor,  rac- 
ing to  the  front  in  the  backstretch,  was  allowed  to  show  the 
way  in  sufferance,  with  Domino  in  second  place,  while  Prince 
Carl  had  moved  up  into  third  position. 

As  they  swept  by  the  three-quarter  pole  for  the  first  turn 
Alcenor  was  first  by  *hree  lengths,  with  Domino  second  half 
a  length  in  front  of  Prince  Carl,  which  was  a  length  in  front 
of  Despot,  the  others  being  Strang  behind  them,  and  all  were 
under  a  pall,  Dorian  being  in  sixth  place  and  Senator  Grady 
in  the  last  position,  while  the  hands  of  the  watch  showed  that 
it  had  taken  27  A  seconds  to  run  the  first  quarter  of  a  mile. 

Silks  and  satins  shifted  rapidly  as  they  came  through  the 
stretch,  and  Resplendent,  racing  from  sixth  into  first  position, 
took  command  of  the  party  before  the  stand  was  reached, 
while  Domino  fell  back  to  fifth  and  Garrison  moved  into  third 
place  with  the  Senator.  As  they  flashed  by  the  stand  the 
pace  had  increased  a  little,  though  it  was  still  slow,  and 
Resplendent  was  first  by  a  length,  with  Alcenor  second,  half 
a  length  in  front  of  Senator  Grady  third,  he  leading  Prince 
Carl  by  the  same  distance,  while  Domino,  Despot,  Dorian, 
Rey  el  Santa  Anita  and  Orinda  followed  in  the  order  named. 
Around  the  club  house  tarn  they  swung,  with  Resplendent 
showing,  and  at  this  point  it  bad  become  evident  that  the 
whole  field  must  have  received  waiting  orders,  and  that  the 
mach-vaunted  American  Derby — the  race  that  should  have 
been  run  from  end  to  end — was  to  be  reduced  to  a  sprint 
through  the  stretch.  Domino's  head  was  so  high  in  the  air 
that  he  appeared  to  be  running  on  his  hind  legs,  while  Ber- 
gen had  a  double  wrap  on  Dorian  and  Garrison  had  the  Sen- 
ator well  in  hand. 

Passing  the  quarter  post,  the  three-quarters  having  been 
run  in  1:101,  Resplendent  showed  first  by  a  length  and  a  half, 
with  Senator  Grady  second,  a  length  in  front  of  Alcenor, 
whose  head  showed  in  front  of  Domino,  Prince  Carl  being 
fifth,  Orinda  sixth,  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  seventh,  Dorian 
eighth  and  Domino  last.  Garrison  seemed  for  the  first  time 
to  realize  that  the  pace  was  entirely  too  slow,  and  giving  the 
Senator  his  head  he  rushed  him  to  the  front  on  the  back- 


stretch.  Taral,  seeing  Garrison  go  out,  dropped  his  hands 
down  on  the  favorite  and  started  to  follow  him,  but  it  was  too 
late.  The  son  of  Himyar  had  had  all  the  vim  choked  out  of 
him,  and  was  beaten  then  and  there.  At  the  end  of  the  mile, 
made  in  1:42?,  the  pride  of  Marcus  Daly's  stable  was  show- 
ing the  way  by  a  length  and  a  half,  with  Rey  el  Santa  Anita 
second,  a  head  in  front  of  Alcenor  third,  he  being  a  length  in 
front  of  Domino,  who  led  Resplendent  by  a  half  a  length 
only,  the  others  being  strung  out  behind  them.  Despot  was 
eighth,  and  Orinda,  the  bope  of  the  Applegate  stable,  was 
last. 

Just  as  the  crowd  had  begun  to  shout,  "  Senator  Grady 
wins!"  and  when  the  horses  were  just  about  half  way  around 
the  tarn,  the  Baldwin  colt  was  given  his  head,  and  as  he 
rushed  past  Senator  Gradv  like  a  cyclone  the  crowd  became 
as  silent  as  though  the  shadow  of  death  had  crept  across  the 
lawn.  As  though  the  latter  were  tied  to  a  fence,  he  swept  by 
the  three-quarter  pole  and  entered  the  stretch  with  a  clear 
lead  of  three  lengths,  the  Daly  colt  being  the  same  distance 
ahead  of  Prince  Carl,  which  was  making  a  gallant  struggle 
for  the  lead,  while  Despot,  who  was  coming  fast,  was  in 
fourth  place,  the  others  being  already  out  of  the  hunt.  The 
race  at  this  point  was  already  over,  bar  shouting,  and  of  that 
there  was  little  doubt. 

Romping  through  the  stretch,  the  wearer  of  the  black  with 
a  red  maltese  cross  came  home  the  easiest  kind  of  a  winner, 
six  lengths  in  front  of  Senator  Grady,  upon  which  the  "Snap- 
per" was  not  humping  himself  for  the  simple  reason  that  he 
knew  it  was  of  no  use. 

Despot  was  third,  two  lengths  further  back,  with  Prince 
Carl  a  good  fourth.  Dorian  was  fifth,  and  the  others  were 
strung  out  nearly  to  the  eighth  pole.  Domino  was  slean 
palled  up  in  the  stretch,  pushing  the  others  in  and  illustrat- 
ing once  more  the  truth  of  the  old  Scriptural  saying  that  "the 
first  shall  be  last."  The  time  was  2:36,  but  it  was  only  a 
sprinting  race  after  all. 

Jockey  Willie  Van  Kuren,  who  piloted  Rey  El  Santa 
Anita  to  victory,  is  a  bright-faced  lad.  He  has  worn  the 
Baldwin  colors  for  some  time,  and  was  confident  all  along 
that  the  Cheviot  colt  would  land  the  great  turf  prize  for  his 
owner.  So  certain  was  he  of  his  success  that  he  wagered  $50, 
for  which  he  received  odds  of  30  to  1. 

Van  Kuren  is  about  17  years  old,  weighs  115  pounds,  and 
has  been  riding  nearly  three  years.  Born  in  the  East,  he 
was  picked  up  as  a  likely  lad  by  Trainer  McDaniel.  Up  to 
to-dav  he  was  not  well  known.  His  victory  on  the  Baldwin 
entry,  in  which  he  defeated  such  cracks  as  "Snapper"  Garri- 
son, Taral,  Martin,  Bergen  and  Thorpe,  has  made  him  famous 
in  a  day.     He  spoke  of  his  ride  modestly. 

"  I  was  riding  easy,"  he  said,  "  all  the  way.  I  could  not 
get  through  until  the  three-quarter  pole  was  reached.  We 
rode  so  close  together  that  I  was  thrown  to'my  knees  three 
times.  No,  I  wasn't  fouled  nor  interfered  with.  At  the 
three-quarters  I  saw  an  opening,  and  shot  through  it,  coming 
fast  on  the  inside.  My  orders  were  to  ride  fast  from  the  last 
half.  Up  to  the  quarter  I  was  lying  second  or  third.  The 
colt  behaved  splendidly,  aud  I  was  certain  all  along  that  I 
would  win.  I  made  my  run  in  the  last  half  and  won  easily. 
I  do  not  think  that  it  would  have  made  any  difference  to  the 
colt  if  the  pace  had  been  faster.  His  last  race  at  Latonia 
convinced  me  that  he  was  good.  There  were  only  two 
horses  in  me  race  that  I  was  afraid  of.  They  were  Senator 
Grady  and  Domino.  I  felt  certain  that  Rey  el  Santa  Anita 
could  beat  all  the  Western  entries,  and  was  surprised  that 
Domino  ran  such  a  poor  race.  The  colt  is  entered  for  the  St, 
Paal  Derby,  and  I  will  ride  him  there  next  Thursday  if  he 
starts."  Snapper  Garrison  was  satisfied  with  'his  ride  on 
1  Senator  Grady.

"  I  haren't  much  to  say,"  he  said.  "  In  my  opinion  the 
best  horse  won.  I  did  not  see  the  horse  this  year  until  to- 
day, and  was  satisfied  that  he  could  do  the  course  in  2:30 1.  It 
was  a  cinch  that  I  had  all  the  Eastern  horses  beaten.  The 
only  horse  I  feared  was  Despot,  which  I  thought  would  tight 
out  the  race  with  the  Senator.  It  was  a  good  race  and  the 
California  entry  won  because  he  was  the  best  horse.  Grady 
was  practically  beaten  at  the  homestretch,  but  he  finished  a 
good  second." 

Fred  Taral,  who  rode  hitherto  unbeaten  Domino,  and  made 
a  proud  record  ia  the  Eist  by  winning  the  Brooklyn,  Metro- 
politan and  Suburban  handicaps,  was  in  hope  that  fortune 
would  contiued  to  smile  on  him,  and  that  he  would  be  able 
to  place  the  eleventh  American  Derby  to  the  credit  of  his 
employers,  the  Keenes.  Fdte,  though,  was  against  the  great 
jockey.  When  he  entered  the  paddock  after  the  race  he 
threw  the  saddle  into  the  air  and  let  loose. 

"  I  am  glad  that  it  is  over,''  he  said.  "  DDtnino  should 
have  won.  The  pace  was  slow  and  we  were  all  riding  on  top 
of  each  other.  The  horse  was  rank  and  I  had  orders  to  set  no 
pace,  but  hold  back  and  come  hard  at  the  finish.  As  a  result 
I  had  to  choke  the  colt  almost  to  death.  I  had  a  terrible 
time  with  him.  When  too  late  I  saw  that  he  was  not  in  it 
with  the  other  horses.  I  lost  a  great  deal  of  ground  while 
holding  him  in  check,  and  had  the  pace  been  hasty  the  re- 
sult would  have  been  different.  Mv  orders  were  not  to  go 
out,  but  to  play  a  waiting  game.  If  I  had  had  my  way  I 
would  have  taken  him  out  at  the  start,  and  then  I  would 
have  won  entirely." 

Tarsi's  temper  was  not  the  best  when  he  entered  the 
weighing-roora.  He  asserted  with  an  oath  that  never,  so  long 
as  he  lived,  would  he  leave  New  York  again  to  come  West  to 
ride  in  a  stake  race  or  in  the  Derby.  His  savage  remarks 
more  than  pleased  the  Western  jockeys  who  happened  to  be 
standing  about.  Taral  was  thoroughly  disgusted.  He  had 
set  his  heart  on  landing  the  Derby,  and  his  disappointment 
was  grievous. 

Eighty-one  books  were  out  in  the  ring.  In  addition  there 
was  a  combination  book,  a  French  mutual  stand  and  the 
auction  poolseller.  The  crowd  in  the  great  betting  shed  was 
not  as  large  as  when  the  World's  Fair  Derby  was  run,  but 
the  betting  was  more  lively.  Senator  Grady  and  ■Domino, 
the  Eistern  cracks,  were  held  as  almost  equal  favorites  in 
the  majority  of  books,  their  price  ranging  from  9  to  5  to  8 
to  5. 

Many  of  the  pencilers  sold  the  field  at  even  money  against 
the  Eastern  pair.  There  was  big  play  in  the  mutuals,  and 
for  a  while  the  auction  pool  stand  was  the  center  of  attrac- 
tion. This  was  a  sample  pool:  Domino,  $100;  Senator 
Grady,  $75;  Dorian,  $25  ;  Despot,  $15;  field,  $15  ;  total  in 
pool,  $250.  Several  pools  were  thus  disposed  of.  Then  a 
*hift  was  made  to  field  selling  for  $100,  Domino  bringing 
$130  and  Senator  Grady  $100.  In  every  instant  the  coin 
went  to  the  men  who  took  the  field. 

But  even  better  odds  were  offered  in  the  regular  books. 
Rey  el  Santa  Anita  was  held  at  30  to  1  to  start  with.  The 
Cheviot  colt  had  not  been  played  heavily  in  the  winter  books, 
and  the  wise  men  who  had  figured  out  that  only  the  Eastern 
contingent  had  a  chance,  let  the  California  entry  severely 
alone.  So  little  money  went  in  on  the  Baldwin  entry  that  at 
post  time  the  odds  had  receded  to  40  to  1.  The  public  could 
not  see  anything  in  the  race  but  Domino  and  Senator  Grady. 
Summary:  One  mile — Peytonia  won.  Senator  Irby  second, 
Flora  Thornton  third.    Time,  1:41$. 

Six  furlongs — Glenmoyne  won,  Cora  Taylor  second,  Uncle 
Luke  third.    Time,  1:15. 

American  Derby,  one  mile  and  a  half — Rey  el  Santa  Anita 
won,  Senator  Grady  second,  Despot  third.  Time,  2:36. 

<  )ne  mile  and  a  sixteenth — Illume  won,  Joe  Murphy  sec- 
ond, Cicely  third.    Time,  1:47$. 

Nine-sixteenths  of  a  mile — Dick  Behan  won,  Nona  se"nnd, 
Lissak  third.    Time,  0:561. 

Xine-sixteenths  of  a  mile — Handsome  won,  La  Fiesta  sec- 
ond, Diggs  third.    Time,  0:56}. 

BALDWIN   ON   THE   VICTORY. 

E.  J.  Baldwin  was  out  at  the  Midwinter  Fair  when  he 
heard  of  the  victory  of  his  colt. 

"  I  see  that  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  won  the  Derby,"  remarked 
a  gentleman  as  he  shook  hands  with  Mr.  Baldwin. 

"  No,  he  didn't,"  replied  Mr.  Baldwin,  who  thought  that 
his  friend  was  joking. 

"  I'll  bet  you  $100  against  $1,"  was  the  quick  response. 

"  I  will  have  to  take  that  bet,  even  if  I  lose,"  retorted  the 
owner  of  Rey  el  Santa  Anita. 

So  it  cost  Mr.  Baldwin  a  big  American  dollar  to  find  out 
about  the  triumph  of  his  colt,  but,  as  he  won  $50,000  in  stakes 
and  bets,  be  has  no  regrets. 

At  Chicago  yesterday  a  piece  of  red  bunting  was  swished 
through  the  air,  and  the  next  minute  and  three-quarters 
made  a  difierence  of  from  $75,000  to  $100,000  to  the  owner 
of  the  Baldwin  string,  The  race  was  worth  about  $30,000  to 
the  winner.  Mr.  Baldwin  had  up  $500  against  $20,000,  and 
the  value  of  the  colt  was  increased  some  $20,000  or  $30,000. 

"Fifty  thousand  dollars  would  not  buy  Rey  el  Santa 
Anita,"  said  Mr.  Baldwin  last  night.  "Of  course  I  was  a 
little  bit  surprised  to  win,  as  I  had  read  so  much  about  Dom- 
ino and  Senator  Grady.  I  knew  I  had  a  slashing  good  colt 
and  thought  I  had  a  chance,  otherwise  I  would  not  have  bet 
$600." 

"  Did  you  think  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  could  go  the  route?" 
was  asked. 

"To  be  Bure  I  did.  The  colt  resembles  thesireof  hiBdam. 
He  has  a  Grinstead  head,  and  there  is  no  colt  that  has  that 
head  but  can  go  the  Derby  route.  I  consider  that  Rey  el 
Santa  Anita  has  had  a  taBk  put  upon  him  that  no  other  three- 
year-old  has  been  called  upon  to  do.  He  was  called  upon  to 
meet  the  best  colt  in  America,  and  the  highest  class  which 
ever  sported  silk  in  a  Derby  in  this  country.  Domino  and 
Senator  Grady  had  both  unbeaten  records,  and  were  consid- 
ered almost  invincible. 

".Mr.  Reed  of  Tennessee  will  be  very  much  elated  over 
Rey  el  Santa  Anita's  victory.  He  now  owns  Cheviot.  1  have 
already  written  to  him  for  permission  to  breed  Alaho  to  this 
stallion  even  rear  for  the  rest  of  her  life.  Is  Rey  el  Santa 
Anita  the  be*t  colt  I  ever  owned  ?"  said  Mr.  Baldwin,  re- 
peating the  que  lion,  "I  hardly  think  so.  Still,  his  per- 
formance yesterday  stamps  him  king  of  the  three-year-olds 
this  vear.    Emperor  of  Norfolk  was  the  greatest  colt  I  ever 


knew.  He  always  won  without  being  extended.  Just  before 
the  Emperor  broke  down  I  saw  him  run  a  trial  mile  over  a 
circular  course  in  1:38.  The  trial  was  kept  secret,  as  I  in- 
tended to  send  him  against  the  record,  but  my  trainer  in- 
judiciously started  him  in  three  races  in  five  days,  and  in  one 
race  he  carried  thirty-one  pounds  more  than  any  other  horse 
in  the  race.  That  is  how  the  Emporer  was  placed  hors  du 
combat." 

"  Yes,  I  expected  to  win  the  Derby  with  Silver  Cloud.  He 
was  virtually  left  at  the  post,  and  as  he  won  easily  at  the  fin- 
ish, the  colt  therefore  ran  a  pbenomal  race.  I  am  sure  the 
last  half  was  the  fastest  half  ever  run  in  a  Derby. 

"I  will  also  tell  you  a  secret.  Just  before  Silver  Cloud  ran 
into  a  post  and  killed  himself  he  was  able  to  beat  Volante 
any  kind  of  a  race.  While  the  Derby  won  by  Volante  was 
not  a  "  cinch,"  still  I  regarded  my  colt  as  a  sure  winner.  I 
bet  $10,000  against  $1,000  that  Emperor  of  Norfolk  would 
win  his  Derby.  I  have  now  started  in  nine  American  Derbys 
and  my  record  is  four  wins  and  two  seconds.  I  was  robbed 
out  of  one  Derby  by  the  bookmaker,  who  bribed  "Pikey" 
Barnes  to  pull  Santiago  to  Uncle  Bob.  I  have  positive  proof 
in  regard  to  this  statement. 

"  I  might  have  won  with  Miss  Ford  also  if  I  had  followed 
my  judgment  instead  of  listening  to  my  trainer  and  jockey. 
They  were  both  certain  that  Goliah  could  win,  so  Miss  Ford's 
chances  were  sacrificed  for  that  of  the  colt.  As  it  was  she 
would  have  won  in  another  stride. 

"  There  is  one  more  thing  to  which  I  want  to  draw  atten- 
tion. It  is  to  Sinaloa,  whom  I  regard  as  the  greatest  mare 
that  I  ever  raised.  She  ran  the  straightaway  one  and  one- 
quarter  miles  in  2:04,  the  fastest  time  ever  made  by  a  mare, 
and  the  mile  was  run  in  1:37." 

"  Why  did  you  call  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  King  of  the 
ranch  ?  " 

"  I  named  him  myself  after  he  had  won  a  couple  of  good 
races.  We  had  great  expectations  for  the  youngster,  and  but 
for  hurried  preparations  might  have  won  the  Futurity  with 
him.  He  had  to  be  worked  the  day  before  the  race,  which 
took  all  the  speed  out  of  him,  and  he  ran  a  disappointing 
race." 

Rey  el  Santa  Anita  was  a  consistent  performer  as  a  two- 
yeat-old.  He  won  a  $1,000  stake  at  the  Washington  Park 
meeting,  but  was  unplaced  in  the  Hyde  Park  Stakes.  On 
July  21st  he  won  the  Lakeview  Handicap  in  impressive 
style  from  a  good  field.  He  appeared  at  the  BIood-Horse 
meeting  and  was  defeated  by  Lucky  Dog,  but  the  Baldwin 
colt  got  oft  badly  and  was  blocked  when  his  rider  tried  to  get 
through. 

Rey  el  Santa  Anita  has  started  six  times  this  year,  and  was 
first  past  the  post  three  times. 

Van  Kuren,  who  rode  the  winner,  is  a  white  boy,  and  has 
not  heretofore  been  classed  in  the  first  rank.  He  rode  with 
fair  success  at  Saratoga  two  years  ago.  Van  Kuren  is  under 
engagement  to  the  Santa  Anita  stable  for  this  season. 

Henry  McDaniel,  the  trainer  of  the  Santa  Anita  stable  this 
season,  is  a  Kentuckian.  He  handled  Boundless,  the  Derby 
winner  in  1893,  in  the  early  part  of  the  season.  McDaniel 
has  been  in  the  horse  business  all  his  life.  He  had  $400 
against  $10,000  on  one  winter  book,  and  Mr.  Baldwin  esti- 
mates the  winnings  of  his  trainer  at  $20,000  to  $30,000. 

Mr.  Baldwin  received  congratulatory  telegrams  from  all 
over  the  country.  Budd  Doble  telegraphed:  "I  stood  by 
Anita,  and  saw  Rey  el  Sauta  Anita  win  in  noble  style.  Con- 
gratulations." 

The  Anita  referred  to  is  Mr.  Baldwin's  daughter. 

George  Baldwin  telegraphed:  "Rey  el  Santa  Anita  won 
in  a  walk." — Chronicle.

And  on  the  lSth  dam,  by  old  Merlin. 

Little  wonder  that  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  is  a  Derby-winner, 
when  his  pedigree  is  closely  analyzed.  Imp.  Cheviot,  winner 
of  the  Canterbury  Derby  and  other  stakes,  was  a  racehorse 
himself  of  great  ability,  and  one  that  could  go  any  route  he 
was  asked,  like  in  that  respect  to  his  brother,  Sir  Modred. 
Cheviot's  sire  was  the  most  famous  in  New  Zealand  up  to  the 
advent  of  that  other  English  horse,  Musket,  whose  like  has 
seldom  been  seen  in  any  country.  Cheviot's  grandam  was 
Caesarwich,  winner  in  England,  and  Dulcibella  was  by  a 
winner  of  both  the  Derby  and  St.  Leger — Voltigeur,  the  only 
horse  that  ever  defeated  the  Flying  Dutchman.  Idalia,  dam 
of  Cheviot,  termed  the  Pocahontas  of  New  Zealand,  threw 
five  stake-winners  in  Sir  Modred,  July,  Cheviot,  Betrayer 
and  Liverpool,  and  another  son,Idalium,  now  owned  in  this 
country  by  A.  B.  Spreckels,  got  many  good  winners  in  Aus- 
tralia. Somehow  or  other  the  impression  got  abroad  that 
the  Cheviots  were  not  "stayers."  This  was  based  on  the  num- 
ber of  sprinters  got  by  the  horse.  However,  it  should  be  re- 
membered that  most  of  his  sons  and  daughters  came  from  the 
Hearst  farm,  where  many  of  the  mares  had  short  pedigrees 
and  others  were  not  "staying  families'"  Whenever  Cheviot 
gets  a  stoutly-bred  mare  like  Alaho  we  can  confidently  ex- 
pect the  produce  to  "go  the  route." 

Rey  el  Santa  Anita  should  be  a  "Derby  colt."  His  dam, 
Alaho,  is  an  own  sister  to  Silver  Cloud,  who  created  such 
consternation  in  the  ranks  of  favorite-players  when  he,  like 
his  "nephew,"  romped  in  a  winner  of  the  rich  American 
Derby.  Silver  Cloud  won  the  event  in  lSSG.  Ben  Ali  was  a 
warm  favorite  in  the  race  on  the  strength  of  his  Kentucky 
Derby  victory.  Blue  Wing  was  scarcely  less  thought  of.  It 
was  a  case  almost  of  "write  your  own  ticket"  on  Silver  Cloud, 
who  proved  an  easy  winner  by  two  lengths,  Blue  Wing  fin- 
ishing second  and  Sir  Joseph  third.  BenjUiwas  disgrace- 
fully beaten.  It  was  history  repeating  itself  this  season.    Rey 


el  Santa  Anita  was  almost  unthought  of  as  a  winner,  and  if 
the  truth  was  known  E.  J.  Baldwin,  his  owner,  had  little 
confidence  in  the  colt's  ability  to  "  do  the  trick."  The  longer 
they  were  at  the  post  the  longer  became  the  odds  against  the 
Californian.  So  it  was  with  "Uncle"  Silver  Cloud,  presuma- 
bly. Domino,  the  favorite,  was  badly  beaten  in  1894,  so  was 
Ben  Ali,  the  favorite  of  1886.  Like"  Domino,  the  latter  was 
bred  in  Kentucky.  The  winning  outsider  of  1894  first  saw 
the  lighten  famed  Santa  Anita  Farm,  likewisethe  victor  of 
1S86.  Sir  Joseph,  third  in  '86,  occupied  about  the  same  po- 
sition in  the  betting,  that  Despot,  third  horse  this  year,  did. 
_  R.  E.  de  B.  Lopez,  the  well-known  importer  of  Austra- 
lian thoroughbreds,  and  at  present  owner  of  the  Valensin 
Farm,  now  known  as  Merriwa  Stock  Farm,  spoke  of  Rey  el 
Santa  Anita  in  the  early  spring  of  1893  (the  colt  was  then 
unnamed)  as  a  coming  crackerjack,  and  on  his  return  to  San 
Francisco  from  the  San  Gabriel  valley  went  into  raptures 
over  the  colt.  The  writer  attributed  considerable  to  Mr.  Lo- 
pez's ^natural  favoring  of  colts  by  Australian  sires, 
but  when  Key  el^  Santa  Anita  began  winning  often  thought 
of  Mr.  L.'s  prediction  regarding  that  particular  youngster, 
whqm  he  picked  out  of  a  bunch  of  perhaps  twenty-five  in 
training  at  Santa  Anita. 

Rey  el  Santa  Anita's  pedigree,  it  will  be  seen,  bristles  with 
the  names  of  famous  stud  matrons,  generally  the  case  with 
turf  celebrities.  Alaho,  the  dam,  bids  fair  to  become  world- 
renowned  through  her  produce  only,  for  she  was  not  success- 
ful as  a  turf  performer.  Idalia,  dam  of  Cheviot,  we  spoke  of 
above.  Her  dam,  Dulcibella,  was  winner  in  1860  of  the 
much-sought-after  Caesarwich  in  England.  Idalia  was  an  own 
sister  to  Onslow,who  was  good  enough  to  administer  a  beating 
to  Cremorne,  the  Derby  winner.  The  Libel,  grandsire  of 
Cheviot,  was  by  the  truly  great  sire  of  mare,  Pantaloon,  and 
from  an  own  sister  to  the  mighty  Touchstone  (Pasquinade). 

On  the  dam's  side  of  the  house  Rey  el  Santa  Anita  traces 
twice  to  the  Pocahontas  of  America — Levity — to  which  trace 
also  Salvator,  Luke;Blackburn,  Volturno,  Grinstead,  Monar- 
chist and  other  great  turf  lights.  Then  there  appears  a  lot 
of  good  old  Glencoe  blood,  received  "through  Gilroy,  Mon- 
archist and  Cornflower,  who  was  by  Virgil,  a  grandson  of 
Glencoe.  There  are  three  crosses  of  Lexington  blood  close 
up,  and  so,  according  to  the  Kentucky  school  boy,  Rey  el 
Santa  Anita  must  be  "  well-bred." 

The  victory  of  the  King  of  Santa  Anita  means  a  great  deal 
to  Australian  breeders  of  thoroughbreds,  and  Charles  Reed, 
who  purchased  Cheviot  "for  $10,000  three  years  ago,  must 
have  been  one  of  the  happiest  men  in  America  over  the  news 
of  Rey  el  Santa  Anita's  victory.  We  append  a  table  that  is 
really  a  short  history  of  the  great  American  classic,  and  it 
speaks  volumes  for  California  and  even  more  for  the  Grin- 
stead blood,  which  seems  almost  necessary  in  the  make-up  of 
an  American  Derby  winner :

Racing   at    San   Jose. 


San  Jose,  June  23. — The  quality  of  the  sport  furnished 
yesterday  by  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association  was 
equal  to  the  average  metropolitan  racing,  but  the  attendance 
was  not  satisfactory  to  the  directors,  and  they  concluded  to- 
night to  terminate  the  meeting  here  to-day. 

The  feature  of  the  card  was  the  handicap,  which  resulted 
in  a  dead  heat  between  Pescador  and  Sir  Keel,  and  as  the 
owner  of  the  one-eyed  son  of  Gano  refused  to  split  the  purse 
a  run-off  was  necessary,  and  Pescador  won  in  a  gallop.  He 
was  the  favorite  all  through  the  betting. 
.^^Tbe  htat  race  for  five  and  a  half  furlongs  kept  the  talent 
guessing.  April  was  favorite,  but  he  never  figured  in  the  re- 
sult. Vulcan  captured  the  first  heat,  but  was  interfered  with 
in  the  second  immediately  after  the  flag  fell,  and  was  shut  off 
during  the  entire  journey.  Annie  Moore  won  the  heat,  Prince 
being  her  closest  attendant  at  the  finish.  The  run-off  was 
easily  taken  by  the  gray  gelding,  although  the  mare  was 
favorite  at  1  to  2. 

The  opening  event  was  for  three-year-olds,  with  Warrago 
backed  down  from  2  to  4  to  5.  He  captured  the  race  handily 
from  the  lightly  played  favorite,  Bobolink. 

The  upset  of  the  day  was  when  Inkermai  at  5  to  1  beat  out 
Niagara.  He  won  as  he  pleased,  although  had  the  colt  been 
ridden  properly  he  would  have  made  Inkerman  extend  him- 
self.

As  is  usual  there  was  much  deliy  in  getting  out  for  the 
next  race.  It  was  just  10  minutes  after  6  o'clock  when  the 
first  bob-tail  appeared  on  the  track,  and  just  half  past  Bix 
when  they  faced  the  starter.  The  start  was  fine  and  the  four 
ran  bunched  to  the  three-quarters,  when  the  chestnut  fell 
back  a  little  but  soon  gained  the  loss  and  came  up  on  almost 
even  terms,  but  again  fell  back  a  couple  of  lengths.  The 
other  three  made  a  lapped  finish.     The  race  was  a  good  one.

Racing   In   Salem. 

Salem,  Or.,  June  20. — The  third  annual  meeting  of  the 
Oregon  Breeding  and  Speed  Association,  which  commenced 
Wednesday,  Jane  20th,  came  in  cloudy  and  a  little  cool,  and 
continued  so  most  of  the  afternoon.  About  11  o'clock  the 
clouds  disappeared  and  the  world's  greatest  benefactor  showed 
his  bright  face  and  sent  down  his  blessings  so  full  of  warmth 
that  we  poor  glad  mortals  expressed  our  admiration  by 
shaking  hands  with  old  and  newly-made  friends.  The  at- 
tendance was  fairly  good  for  the  first  day.  The  horses  all 
looked  in  condition  to  smash  records,  and  their  owners, 
jockeys  and  drivers  each  looked  as  "pleased  as  if  they  had 
proved  victorious  and  had  the  proceeds  in  their  pockets.  The 
track  is  regarded  by  all  as  in  the  very  best  condition  and 
faster  than  ever  before. 

At  2:30  the  field  faced  the  starter  for  the  first  race  and  the 
flag  fell  at  2:56.  Before  the  eighth  was  reached  the  contest- 
ants were  well  strung  out,  but  at  the  finish  four  were  lapped.

Second  race — First  heat — First  score  at  3:20  P.  M.  After 
nine  scores  the  field  went  away  at  a  medium  start,  except  as 
te  An  Alene,  she  being  at  least  five  lengths  behind  the  leader. 
Rickreal  and  Lilly  McCarty  went  to  the  eighth  lapped.  The 
gelding  then  got  the  l°ad  until  after  the  half  had  been  passed 
where  he  made  a  break  and  the  mare  took  the  lead  and  kept 
it  to  the  finish. 

Second  heat — After  eight  scores  the  field  went  away  to  a 
splendid  start.  The  field  were  actually  on  even  terms  at  the 
first  turn.  At  this  point  Rickreal  and  An  Alene  both  broke. 
At  the  quarter  Bellwood  had  the  lead,  with  Dollie  B.  close 
up  and  Lillian  a  goo  1  third.  This  position  was  maintained 
to  near  the  draw  gate,  where  Bellwood  made  a  bobble  and 
the  mare  got  the  lead,  winning  the  heat  amid  the  cheers  of 
all  lookers  on.  Bellwood  was  set  back  for  swerving  in  the 
homestretch. 

Third  heat — Thestart  was  good,  At  the  eighth  An  Alene 
made  a  bobble  and  fell  back.  Rickreal  had  the  lead,  followed 
by  Dollie  B.  and  Lillie,  with  Bellwood  several  lengths  behind. 
At  the  quarter  An  Alene  settled  and  steadily  gained,  over- 
hauling the  leaders  one  by  one,  until  she  came  up  to  Rick- 
real, who  could  not  stand  the  press  and  broke,  and  the  black 
three-year-old  won  the  heat  in  2:29J,  adding  another  to  the 
2:30  list,  as  well  as  crediting  her  sire  with  one  more. 

Fourth  Heat — At  the  third  trial,  the  trio  went  away  at  a 
fine  start.  Dolly  broke  at  the  turn  and  lost  all  chances  to 
win.  At  the  eighth  Rickreal  broke  and  the  black  three-year- 
old  got  a  lead  that  looked  like  could  not  be  overcome,  but  the 
gelding  came  up  at  the  five-eighths  and  the  filly  hobbled 


How   Saladin   Defeated    Mascot. 


Last  Day  of  the  Denver  Meeting. 

Denver,  June  17. — The  race  meet  at  Overland  Park 
closed  yesterday  with  the  largest  attendance  ever  assembled 
at  the  track.  The  weather  was  fine,  with  a  cool  breeze,  and 
a  slow  track  from  the  mud  of  yesterday.  The  unfinished 
free-for-all  pacing  and  the  unfinished  2:27  trotting,  of  which 
one  heat  of  each  was  gotten  off  yesterday,  were  finished. 
Salisbury's  Flying  Jib,  the  favorite  in  the  pacing,  and  who 
took  yesterday's  heat  in  2:1H,  making  a  new  record  for  the 
track,  was  not  in  it  to-day.  He  was  a  3-to-5  favorite  in  the 
betting.  He  acted  badly,  breaking  time  after  time  as  the 
horses  came  down  to  the  score,  and  finally,  when  the  word 
was  given,  breaking  just  after  passing  the  wire  and  getting 
hopelessly  left  and. distanced  at  the  finish.  Ed  Gould's  On- 
line took  the  heat  in  2:12£,  the  fastest  mile  ever  paced  by  a 
four-year-old  at  this  time  of  the  year. 

W.  W.  P.  won  the  necessary  three  heats  in  slower  time. 
It  was  a  decided  triumph  for  John  Kelly,  the  driver  of  W. 
"W.  P.,  for  it  was  his  first  race  against  the  pacer  that  he  drove 
to  the  world's  record  last  year.  The  Du  Boise  stable  also 
furnished  the  winner  in  the  unfinished  2:27  trot,  in  Ella  O., 
defeating  Lady  W.,  and  the  Texas  gelding  Racer  after  sis 
heats,  and  reducing  her  record  to  2:24. 

The  two-vear-old  trot  was  won  by  Ed  Gould's  Cappie 
Woodline,  full  sister  to  Ella  Woodline  (2),  2:23£,  who  took  a 
record  of  2:37,  and  looks  to  be  fully  as  fast  as  her  sister. 

Delbert,  the  winner  of  the  three-year-old  event,  stepped  in- 
to the  list  with  a  record  of  2:28.  He  is  owned  by  H.  C.  Mc- 
Gowan,  Woodruff,  Kan.,  and  is  sired  by  the  Iowa  horse, 
Gamaleon,  2:25.V.  He  clearly  outclassed  his  field,  and  but  for 
a  mistake  in  the  third  heat  would  have  won  in  straight  heats. 
The  majority  »f  the  horses  here  go  to  Council  Bluffs.

Philadelphia,  Pa.,  June  21.— A  big  crowd  made  the 
dusty  journey  to  Belmont  Park  to  witness  what  was  adver- 
tised as  a  race  between  the  king-pin  pacer,  Mascot,  holder  of 
the  world's  record,  2:04,  and  Saladin,  the  champion  race 
record  for  stallions,  2:05£.  Both  horses  have  been  in  train- 
ing at  Belmont  for  some  time  past,  Mascot  in  the  stable  of 
John  E.  Turner  and  Saladin  in  the  string  of  his  owner, 
James  Green.  The  Buffalo  gelding  has  been  moving  grandly 
this  season,  making  none  of  the  breaks  which  characterized 
his  later  performances  last  year.  On  Sunday  last  Turner  gave 
him  a  mile  in  2:08i,  which  appeared  to  be  well  within  his 
limit.  Saladin's  fastest  move  up  to  to-day  was  2:12,  but  th« 
stallion  started  a  strong  favorite  over  the  gelding,  selling  for 
|50  against  $30  for  Mascot,  in  spite  of  the  tatter's  better 
showing.  The  race  was  a  pretty  one  between  the  two  cracks 
from  start  to  finish  in  both  heats,  and  the  time  made  is  the 
fastest  of  the  year  up  to  this  time,  but  the  exhibition  had  all 
the  earmarks  of  a  friendly  workout  rather  than  a  race  for 
blood. 

Turner  has  been  giving  Mascot  a  conservative  preparation, 
and  it  was  not  generally  believed  before  the  start  that  he 
would  drive  him  a  hard  race  to-day.  After  the  finish  of  the 
hippodrome  contest  there  were  many  horsemen  who  still  be- 
lieved Mascot  the  fastest  of  the  pair. 

In  the  first  heat  the  horses  sped  away  on  even  terms  with 
the  stallion  at  the  pole.  Before  reaching  the  first  turn  Sala- 
din made  one  of  his  shifty  handy  breaks,  running  sixty  or 
seventy  y*rds  without  losing  his  lead  of  a  neck.  Heads  to- 
gether, the  pacers  passed  the  quarter  in  31}  seconds  and  the 
half  in  1:03.  There  Saladin  made  another  slight  skip,  but 
settled  quickly,  and  coming  on  fast,  with  an  occasional  rest- 
ing-drive,  won  the  heat  in  2:Q8h\by  just  about  a  length.  Tur- 
ner making  no  visible  move  with  the  gelding.  The  second 
heat  was  a  repetition  of  the  first,  the  horses  pacing  lapped 
like  a  double  team  from  wire  to  wire.  They  went  to  the  half 
in  1:02  this  time,  making  the  second  quarter  in  30  j  seconds. 
From  there  to  the  wire  Salad'n's  finish  was  weak,  his  time 
for  the  last  half  being  1:08,  with  the  last  quarter  at  a  2:20 
gait.  Even  at  this  ridiculous  clip  Mascot  failed  to  head  the 
handsome  stallion,  although  the  gelding  looked  to  be  full  of 
speed  at  the  finish,  Turner  driving  him  with  taut  reins  and 
tapping  him  with  whip  just  as  they  passed  the  wire.  Mas- 
cot t  looked  to  be  in  great  form.  He  did  not  make  a  break  in 
either  heat  of  his  shaping-up  defeat  to-day.

Fun  for  the  Fourth. 


The  Pelaluma  Driving  Club  is  getting  up  a  matinee  for 
the  afternoon  of  the  Fourth,  from  2  to  5  o'clock,  at  Agricul- 
tural Park,  to  which  an  admission  fee  of  25  cents  will  be 
charged  for  /'  sweet  charity."  The  Coldstream  band  will 
play  in  the  grand  stand,  and  between  the  numbers  there  will 
be  three  speed  contests,  two  of  which  will  be  of  a  novel  char- 
acter, and  are  now  being  arranged. 

The  ladies  who  manage  the  Mecham  fund  will  be  asked  to 
appoint  the  gate  keepers  and  collectors,  and  to  take  charge  of 
and  disburse  the  fund — $25  to  be  donated  towards  buying 
uniforms  for  the  band  and  the  remainder  of  the  proceeds  to 
be  disposed  of  by  the  trustees  of  the  Mecham  fund. 

A  handicap  dash  race  is  now  being  arranged  that  will  bring 
all  the  horses  together  in  the  homestretch,  whether  they  are 
fast  or  slow.  The  horses  will  all  start  from  a  line  on  the 
track  at  a  signal  from  the  judges'  stand.  Any  horse  crossing 
the  line  before  the  signal  is  given  will  be  ruled  out.  The 
3:00  horses  will  start  from  the  wire ;  the  2:45  class  will  be 
placed  two  hundred  yards  back ;  the  2:30  horses  will  be 
stationed  four  hundred  yards  from  the  wire,  while  the  3:30 
horses  will  be  given  a  place  two  hundred  yards  in  front  of 
the  wire.  Robert  Brown,  J.  B.  Hinkle  and  J.  H.  McNabb 
are  the  handicappers  for  the  club,  and  will  see  that  everything 
in  that  line  is  fairly  arranged. 

Another  dash  will  be  for  3:30  to  see  who  comes  nearest  to 
that  mark.  Also  one  race  of  heats,  probably  a  mixed  affair 
between  pacers  and  trotters. 

This  will  make  a  fine  afternoon's  entertainment.  The 
music  alone  will  be  worth  more  than  the  price  of  admission, 
which  will  be  25  cents  for  adults  and  10  cents  for  children, 
free  list  suspended.  The  club  will  provide  prizes  for  the 
speed  contests. — Imprint.

In  buying  a  horse  look  sharply  at  the  weak  spots  and  do 
not  allow  the  excellence  of  a  single  good  quality  to  hide  the 
glaring  defects.  A  gentleman  took  the  writer  to  see  a  Ham- 
bletonian  stallion,  represented  to  be  of  choice  breeding,  but 
when  ready  for  a  drive  he  wore  four  interfering  boots,  knee 
boots  and  scalpers.  Measured  by  his  advertised  pedigree,  he 
was  a  valuable  horse  to  patronize,  but  by  his  individuality 
his  only  worth  was  what  he  would  bring  at  the  sausage  fac- 
tory.

Ed.  Corrigan  Incensed. 

CHICAGO,  June  24— ^Sturdy  Ed  Corrigan  iB  full  of  wrath 
over  the  treachery  of  the  Washington  Park  Club  and  is,  or 
was,  contemplating  opposition  lo  it  by  opening  the  Haw- 
thorne during  the  meeting  on  the  South  Side.  He  will  hardly 
go  to  this  extreme,  however.  The  provocation  is  great 
enough,  but  it  would  be  bad  business  policy  and  not  healthful 
to  local  racing. 

The  plain  facts  of  the  case  are  that  President  G.  H. 
Wheeler,  acting  for  the  Washington  Park  Club,  invited  Ed 
Corrigan  to  enter  into  a  compact  with  him  for  mutual  pro- 
tection against  the  Turf  Congress.  At  a  meeting  held  in  tae 
Palmer  House,  but  not  in  the  office  of  the  club,  this  compact 
was  made.  At  Latonia,  Secretary  Howard  acted  for  Corrigan' 
the  latter  agreeing  to  stand  by  bis  action.  Howard  and 
Corrigan  went  to  New  York  together  to  look  after  Chicago 
interests  and  protect  Walbaum.     It  was  a  successful  trip. 

After  that,  at  Washington  Park's  suggestion,  Ed  Corrigan 
agreed  to  apply  for  membership  on  the  Turf  Congress.  The 
two  applications  were  sent  together.  Again  Secretary  How- 
ard went  to  Latonia  and  was  assured  by  the  Turf  Congress 
people  that  everything  was  all  right  and  that  the  Chicago 
tracks  would  be  elected.  Then  came  the  meeting,  Washing- 
ton Park's  election  and  Hawthorne's  rejection.  The  compact 
was  still  intact.  Under  it  there  was  but  one  thing  for  Wash- 
ington Park  to  do  and  do  its  duty.  That  was  to  resign  from 
the  Turf  Congress  and  fight  it  out  alone.  Corrigan  supposed 
that  it  was  stanch. 

There  was  a  stormy  meeting  of  the  Washington  Park 
Club's  Executive  Committee  Thursday  night.  Friday  the 
official  notice  of  Washington  Park's  election  as  a  member  of 
the  Western  Turf  Congress  was  received  from  Cincinnati.  It 
was  accepted  and  the  present  meeting  is  being  operated  by 
the  club  as  a  member  of  the  Western  Turf  Congress.  Corri- 
gan considers  that  President  Wheeler  is  to  blame  for  his  or- 
ganization's treachery  to  him,  and  is  not  conservative  in  his 
denunciation  of  Mr.  Wheeler. 

It  is  a  weak  and  unnecessarily  treacherous  action  on  the 
part  of  the  Washington  Park  Club.  It  not  only  deserted  and 
weakened  a  stanch  ally,  but  strengthened  an  organization  that- 
had  not  tbe  power  to  tight  it,  had  the  original  agreement  been 
carried  out  and  an  independent  meeting  held.  Ed  Corrigan, 
when  asked  if  any  future  combination  could  be  made  should 
Washington  Park  race  out  its  meeting  and  then  resign  from 
the  Turf  Congress,  said  : 

u  No.  Wheeler  has  twice  played  me  false  ;  I  will  never 
trust  him  again."  By  twice  he  referred  to  a  former  business 
deal  for  the  common  good  in  which  Mr.  Wheeler  also  failed 
him. 

Nevertheless  a  future  deal  is  likely  to  be  made  with  Wash- 
ington Park  as  the  leader.  After  the  present  meeting  the 
club  is  likely  to  resign  its  membership  in  the  Turf  Congress 
and  call  a  meeting  for  the  formation  of  another  turf  organi- 
zation. In  this  meeting  it  is  probable  that  the  Washington 
Park  Club,  the  Chicago  Racing  Association,  the  Chicago  Fair 
Association,  New  Memphis  Jockey  Club,  St.  Louis  Agricul- 
tural and  Mechanical  Association  and  the  Twin  City  Jockey 
Club  will  be  represented.  An  organization  out  of  such  ma- 
terial would  be  more  than  able  to  hold  its  own  against  both 
the  Jockey  Club  and  its  peculiar  Western  ally. 

Ed  Corrigan  thinks  and  has  said  that  he  and  his  were 
''turned  down"  through  the  influence  of  M.Lewis  Clarke  and 
Van  Kirkman  because  of  his  statements  in  the  Jockey  Club 
meetingabout  their  standing  as  citizens  and  turfmen."  The 
master  of  Hawthorne  is  usually  right  in  his  ideas  of  the  mo- 
tives of  men.  In  this  instance  he  is  wrong.  While  most  of 
the  men  in  the  Turf  Congress  do  not  luve  the  sturJy  Western- 
er, they  fear  him  and  other  Chicago  racing  organizations  a 
great  deal.  It  was  this  fear  that  caused  the  Corrigan  and 
Hankins  application  for  membership  to  be  rejected.  With 
three  Chicago  members,  St.  Louis  and  St.  Paul,  an  opposition 
able  to  mass  6ve  votes  would  exist.  The  California  Jockey 
Club  and  perhaps  other  California  organizations  might  want 
membership  too. 

There  are  at  present  eleven  members  of  the  Turf  Congress. 
Little  Rrck  and  Overland  Park,  Denver,  Col.,  would  be  nat- 
ural material  for  use  against  the  Keotucky-Tennessee  ring. 
Thus  it  would  be  in  danger  and  might  be  outvoted.  Then 
there  would  be  less  chance  of  self-interest  protection  and  the 
making  of  salaried  officers,  such  as  judges,  stewards  and  for- 
feit clerks  to  provide  for  individual  members  of  the  combina- 
tion. That  is  why  Corrigan  and  Hankins  were  "  turned 
down." 


He  Stole  the  Picture  of  Eclipse. 
It  was  a  fine  old  gentleman  with  wbom  I  speDt  an  evening 
last  week  in  as  pleasant  and  as  handsomely  decorated  home 
as  only  wealth  can  produce.  I  had  known  him  for  many 
years,  known  him  as  an  honest  and  an  upright  gentleman,  a 
man  who  had  retired  with  honor  after  a  long  and  successful 
business  career  to  enjoy  the  fruits  of  his  labors  in  his  declin- 
ing years.  HehadbeeoaKentuckian.born  in  the  "Blue  Grass" 

te,  but  he  had  lived  so  long  in  the  metropolis  that  one 
might  have  expected  him  to  have  almost  entirely  forgotten 
lb©  associations  of  his  youth.  But  lie  hadn't.  He  had  cever 
been  married,  had  no  wife  or  children  to  cheer  nod  comfort 
his  old  age,  but  he  had  a  hobby  which  satisfactorily  filled 
whatever  desire  for  enjoyment  he  may  have  fell.  He  loved 
a  race  horse,  a  thoroughbred,  as  the  apple  of  his  eye,  and 
tvt-ry  room  in  his  house  conspicuously  attested  his  afi'oction. 
Whole  walla  were  covered  with  prints  and  plates  and  paint- 
ings of  famous  racer*  from  the  original  Arabians  and  Turks 
down.  Tables  were  covered  with  portfolios  full  of  sketches 
of  thoroughbreds  by  all  of  the  most  famous  animal  artists. 
There  were  but  few  books  in  his  library  that  were  not  in 
some  way  or  other  connected  with  the  history  or  the  natural 
life  of  the  horse.  That  he  was  an  enthusiast  upon  the  snbjecl 
no  one  could  doubt.  That  he  was  a  crank  upon  it  many 
might  believe,  but  no  one  who  had  any  acquaintance  with 
this  tine  old  gentleman  could  have  suspected  that  which  he 
himself  admitted  to  me  toward  the  end  of  the  evening  after 
the  bottle  of  B  rbon  that  had  been  placed  upon  the  table  iu 
the  earlier  hoi.  -  was  well  nigh  empty. 

L'nlockiog  anu  opening  a  drawer  in  an  old  mahogany  cabi- 
net, he  took  from  it  as  carefully  as  if  he  were  handling  a 
papjraa  leaf  thousands  of  years  old,  which  might  break  and 


crumble  at  his  touch,  a  steel  engraving  of  a  portrait  of  a 
horse.  Fondly  gazing  upon  it  as  he  offered  it  to  me  for  in- 
spection, he  startled  me  by  saying: 

"  I  6tole  that." 

Knowing  him  so  well  I  would  have  remonstrated,  but  he 
stopped  me,  saying — 

"  Yes,  I  stole  it.  I  couldn't  buy  it  and  I  had  to  have  it.  I 
couldn't  get  along  without  it  after  once  I  had  laid  eyes  upon 
it.  I  was  mad  for  it  and  would  have  gladly  paid  almost  any 
price  for  it,  but  the  man  who  had  it  would  not  sell,  so  what 
was  left  for  me  to  do  but  to  steal  it  ?  I  have  done  the  same 
thing  many  times  and  suppose  I  will  keep  on  doing  it  until  I 
die.    I  can't  help  it." 

The  print  he  showed  me  was  one  of  that  most  celebrated 
of  English  racehorses,  Eclipse,  who  had  been  dwelt  upon  as 
the  king  of  horses  by  every  historian  who  has  written  of 
thoroughbreds  since  his  time.  One  writer  has  thus  described 
him: — 

"Among  horses  of  all  climes,  countries  and  ages  he  was 
what  Alexander,  Julius  Caesar  and  Bonaparte  were  among 
men — the  greatest;  not  the  greatest  in  comparison,  for  his 
reputation  places  him  beyond  the  pale  of  comparative  esti- 
mation with  other  celebrities  in  equine  history.  He  was  the 
brightest  luminary  in  the  constellation,  moved  in  an  orb  out 
of  the  path  of  all  other  b.ight  particular  stars  and  shed  his 
own  dazzling  refulgence  with  a  radiance  unapproachable  by 
all  others,  whether  they  be  his  predecessors  or  his  successors. 

"Great  men  have  died  since  Eclipse  and  are  forgotten; 
nations  have  crumbled  and  will  ere  long  pass  beyond  the 
recollection  of  human  kind;  others  will  rise,  become  promi- 
nent, fall  into  decay  and  finally  pass  into  obscurity  ;  but  the 
mutations  of  time,  the  rise  and  fall  of  empires,  the  going 
out  of  great  lights,  however  phenomenal  their  entrances  and 
exists,  can  never  be  more  immutable  than  the  fame  of 
Eclipse." 

Eclipse  came  into  the  world  amid  darkness  in  daytime,  for 
he  was  foaled  during  the  great  eclipse  of  the  sun  in  1764. 
From  this  incident  he  took  his  name,  and  not,  as  is  some 
times  said,  because  he  eclipsed  all  rivals.  The  Duke  of  Cum- 
berland bred  Eclipse,  and  he  surely  never  expected  such  a 
wonder  to  result  from  the  union  of  Marsk,  a  race  horse  of  the 
most  ordinary  capacity,  who  in  eight  years  in  one  stud  Lad 
produced  no  horse  of  note,  and  Spilletta,  a  mare  who  had 
been  deemed  but  little  worthy,  having  run  in  but  one  race, 
in  which  she  was  defeated. 

The  Duke  of  Cumberland  died  in  1765,  when  Eclipse  was 
a  vearling,  and  at  the  sale  of  the  nobleman's  stud  both  sire 
and  son  went  under  the  hammer.  Marsk  went  into  the  hands 
of  a  Dorsetshire  farmer  for  a  trilling  sum  and  was  held  for 
service  at  the  small  charge  of  half  a  guinea.  A  Smithfield 
salesman  who  hid  a  penchant  for  thoroughbreds  learned 
through  a  groom  of  the  deceased  Duke  that  Eclipse  was  a 
colt  of  more  than  ordinary  promise,  so  he  went  to  the  sale. 
When  [he  reached  Tattersalls  the  sale  was  over  and  Eclipse 
had  brought  seventy  guineas.  The  salesman  looked  at  his 
watch,  and  calling  attention  to  the  fact  that  the  hour  desig- 
nated by  the  advertisement  of  the  sale  had  not  arrived  in- 
sisted that  it  was  not  a  legal  sale.  Eclipse  was  again  put  up 
and  the  salesman,  by  name  William  Wildman,  purchased 
him  for  seventy-five  guineas.  He  showed  so  well  for  his  new 
owner  when  put  in  training  that  Mr.  Wildman  immediately 
sought  out  his  sire,  Marsk,  and  paid  twenty  guineas  for  him 
to  the  farmer,  who  seemed  highly  pleased  to  be  relieved  of  a 
bad  bargain. 

When  Eclipse  by  his  unparalleled  performances  made 
Marsk  famous  Lord  Abingdon  paid  1000  guineas  for  the  latter 
and  placed  him  in  the  stud,  where  his  services  were  in  great 
demand  at  100  guineas.  Eclipse  was  so  unmanageable  that  he 
was  not  trained  as  a  three  year-old  and  was  no  better  at  four, 
but  when  five  years  old  was  given  a  course  of  preparation. 
Captain  O'Kelly  had  purchased  a  half  interest  in  him  for  650 
guineas,  and  when  the  colt  started  in  his  maiden  race  man- 
aged to  bet  a  lot  of  money  on  him  at  long  odds.  From  that 
race  it  was  "  Eclipse  first  and  the  rest  nowhere."  He  was 
on  tbe  turf  two  seasons,  and,  starting  in  twenty-four  races, 
was  never  beaten.  He  won  eleven  kings'  plates,  most  of 
them  with  168  pounds  up,  a  record  of  one  more  than  at  that 
time  had  ever  been  won  by  one  horse.  He  was  a  roarer  from 
a  colt  and  could  be  heard  at  a  great  distance  when  racing, 
but  it  seemed  not  to  operate  as  an  impediment  to  his  success, 
and  he  imparted  the  disease  to  only  a  few  of  his  get. 

Captain  O'Kelly  obtained  complete  ownership  of  Eclipse 
bv  paying  Mr.  Wildman  1,100  guineas  for  the  second  half, 
and  afterward,  when  asked  to  put  a  price  on  him,  named 
£25,000  as  his  figure.  Captain  O'Kelly  realized  £26,000  from 
Eclipse's  services  on  the  turf,  and  as  he  earned  something 
like  £50,000  in  the  stud  he  was  an  exceedingly  profitable 
horse  for  the  Captain,  who  realized  asum  equivalent  to  about 
$380,000  from  him.  He  died  in  1789,  having  sired  354  win- 
ners of  $810,235,besides  whips,  cups.plates  and  forfeits. 

Eclipse's  courage  and  speed  were  always  noticeable.  He 
was  ridden  in  all  his  races  by  only  two  jockeys,  and  only 
once  did  either  of  them  ever  draw  a  whip  on  him.  John 
Oakley  tried  the  experiment  in  his  first  race  and  the  colt  al- 
most ran  awav,  winning  under  a  choking  pull. — N.  Y.

The  County  Veterinarian's  Duty. 


County  Veterinarian  shall  forthwith  report  such  omission  or 

refusal  to  the  District  Attorney." 

The  ordinance  fails  to  state  what  the  District  Attorney 
shall  do  in  the  matter.  It  has  been  suggested  that  perhaps 
the  State  law  covers  this  point,  but  a  search  of  the  statutes 
fails  to  discover  any  such  provision.-

The  Color  Line. 


The  duties  of  the  County  Veterinarian  of  San  Joaquin, 
which  is  tbe  official  title  of  that  personage,  are  set  forth  as 
follows  in  the  county  ordinance  creating  the  office  : 

"8ection  3.  The  County  Veterinarian  shall  keep  a  true 
and  faithful.record  of  the  number  and  kind  of  animals  alllicted 
with  contagious  or  infectious  diseases  treated  or  destroyed  by 
him  or  under  his  order,  and  of  all  animals  quarantined  by 
his  order  as  being  suspected  of  having  contagious  or  infectious 
diseases.  He  shall  have  free  access  at  all  times  to  any  ani-

disease.  Any  person  having  control  or  manaeement  of  the 
premises  upon  which  such  animal  is  found  must,  at  the  order 
of  the  veterinarian  and  under  his'directioo,  disinfect  such 
premises.  In  ease  of  the  refusal  of  the  person  controlling  or 
managing  such  premises  so  to  do,  the  County  Veterinarian 
shali  direct  the  County  Health  Officer  to  disinfect  the  same 
at  the  expense  of  the  person  so  refusing. 

"  Section  4.  It  shall  be  the  duty  of  any  person  owning 
or  having  charge  of  an  animal  having  a  contagious  or  in-

Among  the  many  obstruse  points  which  have,  since  its  in- 
ception, been  of  peculiar  interest  in  scientific  horse  breeding, 
is  the  question  of  color,  and  to  the  student  of  the  breeding 
problem  there  is  perhaps  none  more  fascinating.  In  the  pro- 
duction of  speed  we  are  annually  becoming  surer  and  more 
prolific,  while  the  gradual  reduction  of  the  industry  to  a 
science  has  also  brought  with  it  an  immense  improvement  in 
the  symmetry  of  the  modern  race  horse  over  his  predecessor 
of  past  generations.  But  like  the  sex,  the  color  still  remains 
uncertain  and  in  the  main  illusive.  It  is,  too,  a  most  impor- 
tant point  to  the  breeder,  and  especially  the  large  breeder, 
who  raises  principally  to  sell,  as,  next  to  speed,  soundness 
and  high  form,  nothing  more  closely  affects  the  market  value 
of  the  horse  than  his  color. 

The  thoroughbred,  or  blood  horse,  and  the  trotter,  who  has 
been  largely  bred  up  from  the  thoroughbred,  are  character- 
ized by  a  coat  of  velvet  and  lustrous  texture,  nothing  being 
considered  more  fatal  to  pretensions  to  high  breeding  than  a 
coarse  coat  with  its  attendant  shaggy  fetlocks.  Shakespeare, 
describing  an  ideal  horse.makes  his  "fetlocks  shag  and  long," 
but  at  that  time  the  refining  influence  of  the  Arab  and  the 
Barb  had  not  reached  the  British  Isles  and  the  Anglo-Saxon 
eye  was  as  yet  unfamiliar  with  its  beauties.  A  curly  or 
wavy  mane  and  tail  are  also  held  to  evidence  the  presence  of 
cold  blood,  while  so  also  are  certain  colors,  more  particularly 
dun,  cream-color,  or  that  peculiar  conglomeration  of  spots 
known  as  piebald.  There  are  also  certain  colors  which, while 
conveying  no  certain  assumption  of  plebian  origin, are  deemed 
undesirable,  the  most  prominent  of  which  are  roan  or  gray. 
And  with  the  most  poetic  injustice  there  are  none  so  difficult 
to  eradicate,  while  those  whose  perpetuity  is  wanted,are  often 
weak  and  uncertain,  an  alien  cross  or  two  being  sufficient  to 
change  the  shade,  while  the  persistence  with  which  the  roan 
or  grey  colors  assert  themselves  in  generation  after  generation, 
or  after  lying  dormant  for  several, recur  with  atavic  obstinacy, 
has  ever  been  a  fruitful  theme  for  discussion.  The  gradual 
survival  of  the  fittest  is,  however,  thinning  the  ranks  of  these 
equine  proletarians,  and  slow  but  sure  breeding  away  from 
their  undesirable  hues  is  doing  away  with  them  in  the  Stud 
Book  and  Trotting  Register. 

There  is  no  better  test  of  a  stallion's  potency  than  the  reg- 
ularity with  which  his  foals  breed  after  him  in  color,  and 
while  there  is  never  a  certainty,  it  is  well  established  that  a 
horse  whose  individuality  is  so  strong  that  he  creates  a  family 
type  will  also  fix  the  color  with  great  uniformity.  Hamble- 
tonian,  tbe  great  fountain-head  of  trotting  speed,  basin- 
creased  the  indebtedness  of  the  breeder  to  him  by  the  con- 
sistency with  which  he  transmitted  his  own  bay  color  to  his 
progeny.  Of  those  which  deviated  from  it  almost  all  were  of 
the  relative  shade,  brown,  and  it  is  believed  that  he  never 
got  a  chestnut,  although  largely  bred  to  the  chestnut  daugh- 
ters of  the  chestnut  horse  American  Star.  Although  inbred 
to  imported  Messenger,  Hambletonian  rarely  got  a  gray  foal. 
His  forty  list  trotters  are  all  bay  or  brown,  excepting  Lottery 
2:27,  who  was  out  of  the  gray  mare  Jane  Murray;  be  has  138 
producing  6ons,  and  135  are  bay  or  brown,  the  other  three, 
Barkis,  Orion  and  Gideon,  being  gray,  a  color  which  greatly 
preponderated  in  the  pedigrees  of  their  dams.  Among  Ham- 
bletonian's  sons  Volunteer  was  famous  for  the  way  in  which 
he  controlled  the  color  of  his  offspring,  they  being  almost  in- 
variably bays,  while  among  the  stallions  of  today  Volun- 
teer's grandson,  Jerome  Eddy,  is  similarly  noted. 

Next  to  bay,  brown  is  perhaps  the  most  prevalent  color 
among  trotting  horses,  although  in  the  last  few  years  chest- 
nut has  begun  to  be  more  in  evidence.  We  have  remarked 
especially  upon  the  producing  sons  of  Hambletonian;  of  them 
sixteen  were  brown,  by  far  the  most  prominent  of  these  being 
Dictator,  who  inherited  his  sealskin  coat  from  his  grandam, 
the  McKinstry  mare.  Both  have  bequeathed  their  color  to 
considerable  numbers  of  their  progeny,  while  in  many  in- 
stances it  has  been  deepened  into  black.  Dictator's  three 
most  famous  children,  Jay-Eye-See,  Director  and  Nancy  Lee, 
dam  of  Nancy  Hanks,  are  all  black.  The  chestnuts  are  crop- 
ping out  in  all  families,  the  most  prominent  being  those  of 
Robert  McGregor  and  Nutwood.  The  former  is  out  of  a 
Star  mare,  whence  eomes  that  coat  which  has  been  likened  to 
the  burnished  panoply  of  the  goldfish;  Nutwood's  dam,  the 
most  famous  of  living  brood  mares,  Miss  Russell,  is  gray,  but 
her  first  son  strangely  did  not  inherit  that  most  self-assertive 
color,  and  harked  back  to  her  dam,  the  chestnut  Sally  Rus- 
sell. Chestnut  prevails  quite  markedly  in  the  family  of  Nut- 
wood in  all  generations,  but  its  fastest  member,  Manager,  is 
a  gray;  he  is,  however,  out  of  a  gray  mare  while  his  next  two 
dams  were  also  grey. 

Classing  tbe  duns,  creams,  piebalds,  etc.,  as  totally  undesir- 
able, and  the  bays,  browns,  blacks  and  chestnuts  as  standard 
and  never  unfashionable,  there  remain  the  two  colors  which 
are  generally  unwelcome,  but  not  entirely  plebian — roan  and 
gray,  the  two  most  positive  in  the  catalogue.  Both  are  really 
hybrids — a  cross  of  othir  colors  upon  a  strain  originally 
white — but,  contrary  lo  the  usual  rule  in  such  cases,  are  of 
the  greatest  "  carrying  "  power.  On  the  whole,  deemed  unde- 
sirable, they  are  still  often  attended  with  certain  superior 
characteristic,  and  the  gray  horse  has  always,  whether  rightly 
or  no,  been  popularly  considered  to  possess  unusual  stamina 
and  bottom.  Racing  history  is  plentifully  supplied  with 
instances  which  might  be  cited  to  prove  this,  but  it  is,  after 
all,  more  a  superstition  than  anything  else,  allied  to  that 
which  used  to  impute  lack  of  endurance  to  the  black  horse — 
but  where  is  a  more  lasting  one  than  Directum,  who  is  a  very 
prince  of  darkness?  The  chief  grey  strain  in  modern  trotting 
pedigrees  comes  from  Pilot  Jr.,  while  it  is  also  rather  com- 
mon in  the  descendants  of  Alexander's  Norman,  and  his  sire, 
the  Morse  Horse.  Imported  Messenger,  himself  a  gray,  got 
many  gray  sons  and  daughters,  but  none  that  we  now  recall 
have  left  a  permanent  stain  of  the  color  upon  the  Register's 
pages.  For  our  roans  we  are  chiefly  indebted  to  the  Canadian 
pacing  blood  which  has  been  in  the  past  grafted  upon  our 
trotting  strains.  At  present  Jay  Bird  is  the  most  prominent 
among  the  roan  sires,  and  he  has  come  near  making  the  un- 
welcome hue  fashionable. — Horse  Review.

The  seven-eighths  running  dash  for  $150  demanded  the 
attention  of  the  spectators  about  3:30.  The  fo  ir  runners, 
Mowitza,  Undine,  Oregon  and  Dottie  Reed,  lined  up  for  Dr. 
Long,  the  starter,  and  after  the  usual  delay  were  off  in  a 
bunch,  Mowitza  leading  slightly.  Down  the  homestretch  all 
four  equines  felt  the  rawhide  to  a  considerable  extent  aud 
Oregon  went  ahead  and  under  the  wire  in  1:31  with  Dottle 
second,  Mowitza  third  and  Undine  fourth.  Matuals  paid

purse  of  $125  with  Arago,  Geo.  Dickinson,  Our  Tommy, 
Easter  Lilly  and  Black  Prince  as  the  contestants.  Arago

THIRD  DAY,  FRIDAY,  JUNE   22d. 

The  2:35  trotters  Lillie  McCarthy,  Jack  the  Ripper  and 
Clatawa,  were  called  out  at  1:30  and  after  two  attempts 
passed  under  the  wire  at  an  even  start.  At  the  first  turn  all 
three  horses  lost  control  of  their  feet  and  broke  badly.  Lillie 
McCarthy  was  the  first  to  get  steadied  down  to  good  trotting 
and  she  led  the  trio  to  the  half  pole.  Here  she  went  up  again 
and  the  other  two  came  alongside.  Into  the  stretch  they  came 
with  Clatawa  slightly  in  advance  of  Ripper  and  Lillie  some 
distance  behind.  They  came  under  the  wire  in  this  order, 
making  the  mile  in  2:32. 

The  second  heat  was  taken  by  Clatawa  with  Ripper  sec- 
ond and  Lillie  McCarthy  third.  Time,  2:30.  It  was  a  fair 
start  and  at  the  first  turn  they  were  going  in  fine  shape.  Cla- 
tawa took  the  lead  and  held  it  to  the  half  when  Ripper  over- 
took him.  This  was  too  much  for  the  latter  and  he  went  off 
his  feet  allowing  Clatawa  to  again  go  ahead.  Clatawa  having 
taken  two  heats  was,  of  course,  winner.  A  summary  shows 
the  following:

The  special  pace,  mile  heats  2  in  3,  being  next  on  the  pro- 
gramme, the  three  horses  were  ordered  out  without  delay.  In 
the  draw  for  position  J.  E.  Kirkland's  Little  Maid  got  the 
pole,  O.  Willis1  Queen  W.  second  place  and  H.  B.  Miller's 
Juliett  third.  With  three  scores  the  mares  were  sent  off  by 
Starter  Nesmith.  Maid  and  Juliet  were  abreast  from  the 
qnarter  to  th*>  three-eights  pole  when  Juliett  broke  and  lost 
considerable  ground.  Maid  pushed  on,  and  until  the  five- 
eighths  post  was  reached  Juliett  and  Queen  were  away  in  the 
rear.  Juliet  made  an  effort  to  gain  her  lost  ground  and  was 
nearly  successful  when  at  the  last  quarter  she  went  off  again, 
and  Kirkland,  seeing  that  he  was  an  easy  winner  with  Maid, 
slowed  her  down,  and  she  came  under  the  wire  in  a  jog  in 
2:27 

Juliet  took  the  second  heat,  the  time  being  2:22.  The  bay 
mare  greatly  surprised  her  owner,  Mr.  Miller,  in  this  heat, 
and  upon  the  announcement  of  her  time  he  was  heartily  con- 
gratulated by  his  friends  who,  with  him,  witnessed  the  mare's 
work  from  the  judge's  stand.  She  took  the  lead  after  passing 
the  first  turn  and  never  was  overtaken  the  remainder  of  the 
mile.  Maid  broke  twice  in  this  heat  and  Queen  W.  was 
entirely  out  of  the  race  from  the  first  quarter. 

The  third  heat  was  a  beautiful  one  from  start  to  finish, 
Juliet  and  Maid  doing  some  grand  speeding.  From  the  first 
quarter  they  paced  nearly  side  by  side,  and  once  into  the 
stretch  they  came  at  a  fearful  gait,  Juliet  passing  the  wire 
an  even  length  in  advance  of  Maid.  The  watches  stopped  at 
2:22.

It  was  4  o'clock  when  the  runners  for  the  mile  dash  were 
summoned  from  the  paddock.  The  draw  for  positions  re- 
sulted in  Typesetter  getting  the  inside,  Nipper  second  and 
Raindrop  third.  Raindrop  won,  Nipper  second,  and  Type- 
setter third.  It  was  Raindrop's  race  all  the  way  around  al- 
though Typesetter  was  in  the  lead  for  about  a  third  of  a  mile.

In  the  half-mile  dash  there  were  seven  horses  to  go.  They 
were  placed  in  the  following  order :  Paddy  Ryan  first, 
George  Dickinson  second,  Daily  Oregonian  third,  Pappoose 
fourth,  Jim  Crow  fifth,  Rockland  Boy  sixth  and  Black  Alder 
seventh.     This  was  a  big  field  of  horses,  and  great  interest 


was  felt  in  the  outcome.  Dr.  Long  got  them  off  in  good  time, 
and  as  they  neared  the  last  turn  Oregonian  stumbled  and  fell, 
throwing  his  rider  heavily  to  the  ground.  The  horse  got  to 
his  feet  and  ran  through  to  the  gate,  where  he  was  stopped. 
His  rider  sustaioed  a  bad  bruise  on  the  arm  and  head,  but 
was  able  to  walk  to  his  stable  without  assistance.  Black  Al- 
der won  the  dash  by  over  a  length,  with  Jim  Crow  second, 
Dickinson  third,  and  the  favorite,  Paddy  Rvan,  fourth. 
The  time  recorded  was  0:49k

The  five  eighths  runners  were  next  on  the  programme.  F.

pole ;  Jones  &  Payne's  Raindrop  was  second  carrying  Mc-

third  place,  having  Boynton,  117  pounds,  on  his  back;  Phil

fourth  place,  and  J.  H.  Hunt's  Black  Alder  was  on  the  out-

one  with  Black  Alder  at  the  head  of  the  bunch.  He  was  soon 
overtaken  by  Raindrop  and  the  five  made  a  beautiful  run  to 
the  stretch,  so  bunched  that  a  blanket  would  nearly  have  cov- 
ered them.  They  passed  the  wire  in  the  following  order : 
Raindrop  nearly  two  lengths  ahead  of  George  Djxon,  and

were  at  the  post  thirty-two  minutes.  The  start  was  a  good 
one  and  the  race  the  best  running  exhibition  of  the  meeting. 
No  one  could  have  guessed  the  winner  when  the  horses  fn-

with  the  following  programme :  Three  year-old  trot,  2:45 
trot,  3:00  trot,  2:40  pace,  buggy  horse  race  and  a  half-mile 
and  repeat  running  race. 

The  track  t3  in  charge  of  Walter  Masten,  and  is  in  excel- 
lent condition.  The  following  horses  are  stationed  at  the 
track : 

W.  Masten  has  Falrose  (p),  2:19  ;  he  was  ailing  this  spring 
and  was  not  entered,  so  will  probably  not  be  in  shape  to  go

Hank  Giddings  has  the  bay  stallion  Frank  B.,  three-year- 
old  record  2:30,  by  Coligny,  out  of  a  Casserly  mare.  After  a 
good,  long  rest  his  leg  seems  to  be  all  right,  and  he  is  going 
strong.  Hank  also  has  the  brown  stallion  Noontime,  tbree- 
year-old,  by  Noonday,  out  of  the  dam  of  Frank  B.;  a  brown 
mare  Tomboy,  by  Privateer,  and  Selma,  b  m,  by  Don  Marvin, 
dam  by  Ulster  Chief. 

Mac-Die  Reaves  has  ch  m  Susie  B.,  by  Reveille — Casserly

are  Bakal,  b  s,  by  Mambrino  Wilkes,  dam  Fanny  Brown ;

Etelka,  by  Sultan  ;  Tom  Thumb,  b  s,  pacer  by  Sterling.  , 


Judging  from  records  the  foregoing  do  not  present  a  very 
formidable  array,  but  if  all  goes  well,  a  few  of  them,  at  least, 
will  be  seen  in  the  front  before  the  season  closes. 

Old  Sir  Reginald,  by  Joe  Hooker — Dolly  Varden,  is  here 
in  care  of  Dave  Clayton.  He  was  fired  before  leaving  the 
bay  and  is  now  able  to  take  a  little  work. 

Coligny,  the  horse  that  figures  in  many  of  the  above  pedi- 
grees, is  a  full  brother  to  Gibraltar  aud  like  old  Gib  has  had 
very  limited  opportunities,  never  having  served  a  standard 
mare.  His  colts  all  show  some  speed  and  without  exception 
are  game. 

The  races  for  the  meeting  all  filled  well  and  anybody  fond 
of  a  little  sport,  wishing  to  spend  a  few  days  in  the  country, 
would  do  well  to  visit  Vacaville.  If  you  can't  guess  'em 
right,  you  can  load  up  with  good  fruit  and  if  the  association 
cannot  guarantee  any  watch-breaking  exhibitions,  they  will 
do  their  best  to  give  some  honest  racing.

Grreenlander  is  Ready. 

Although  nothing  definite  has  been  learned  of  the  trials 
of  the  brown  stallion  Greenlander,  reports  from  Evansville 
are  to  the  effect  that  the  champion  twomiler  is  doing  well  in 
his  work  and  will  be  in  rare  condition  for  the  race  against 
Nightingale,  2:10i,  at  the  Buffalo  Grand  Circuit  meeting. 

Owner  J.  H.  Odell  is  still  as  confident  as  when  the  match 
was  made  that  the  Buffalo  mare  will  have  to  trot  in  4:28  to 
win,  which  means  two  successive  miles  at  a  2:14  gait.  Secre- 
tary Edward  S.  Hawley  has  decided  that  this  race,  which 
will  decide  the  two-mile  championship  of  the  world,  shall 
be  the  second  race  on  the  programme  on  Wednesday,  August 
7.  He  is  highly  elated  over  having  secured  the  race  as  a 
special  attraction,  and  as  Nightingale  has  already  trotted 
miles  close  to  her  fastest  in  1893,  there  is  no  reason  why  she 
should  not  be  a  considerably  better  mare  than  when  she 
stepped  to  a  two-mile  record  of  4:33}. 

Mr.  Hawley  said  this  morning  that  he  would  like  to  ar- 
range another  special  race  for  Greenlander,  to  take  place 
during  Buffalo's  meeting.  Owner  Odell,  besides  believing 
Greenlander  to  be  the  fastest  two-mile  horse  living,  is  will- 
ing to  match  his  stallion  for  a  race  to  wagon,  at  one-mile  or 
two-mile  heats,  best  two  ia  three,  or  a  two-mile  dash  to  wag- 
on. His  faith  in  Greenlander  is  remarkable,  for  he  said  to 
Mr.  Hawley  :  "  I  will  match  Greenlander  for  a  race  to 
wagon  against  any  horse  living,  and  I  don't  care  what  stal- 
lion, gelding  or  mare  you  will  trot  out,  Allerton,  2.09}; 
Arion,  2:07^;  Pixley,  2:08};  Alix,  2:07|,  or  any  other  horse." 
He  further  said  that  when  right  Grreenlander  should  lower 
the  stallion  wagon  record  to  2:12  or  better. 

As  C.  W.  Williams  is  training  Allerton  again,  a  race  of 
this  kind  between  the  pair  of  stallions  would  be  interesting. 
Allerton  has  never  been  seen  in  Buffalo,  and  a  big  crowd 
would  be  in  attendance.  It  will  be  remembered  that  Allerton 
reduced  the  wagon  record  of  his  sex  to  2:15,  and  that  Green- 
lander last  year  dethroned  him  by  stepping  a  mile  in  2:14, 
and  the  fact  would  add  interest  to  the  race.  Mr.  Hawley 
would  be  glad  to  hang  up  a  suitable  purse  if  the  pair  could 
be  secured. — Enquirer,  Buffalo. 


New  York  State  Comptroller  Robert's  new  system  for  in- 
specting and  supervising  race-track  receipts  will  cause  a 
great  increase  in  the  amount  collected  from  race-track  asso- 
clrtions.  Last  year  the  total  was  $19,040.  This  year  the  re- 
ceipts from  the  two  weeks'  spring  meet  of  the  Brooklyn 
Jockey  Club  was  nearly  $13,000.  About  fifteen  associations 
will  also  have  to  pay  taxes.  The  proceeds  will  be  distributed 
to  the  agricultural  associations  for  prizes. 


The  victory  of  Santa  Anita  in  the  American  Derby  is 
another  lift  in  public  opinion  for  California  horses.  The 
world  will  have  its  attention  drawn  anew  by  this  notable 
triumph  to  this  State  as  a  superior  breediog  ground  for  fine 
stock.  It  will  be  critical  not  merely  passing  interest  that 
will  be  awakened  concerning  our  blue  grass  sections  and 
their  capabilities. 

The  famous  Domino  races  with  bandages  encircling  his 
tendons  and  wears  tips  instead  of  regulation  plates  on  his 
fore  feet.  He  lands  hard  on  his  heels  when  at  a  high  rate  of 
speed,  and  soreness  results  from  the  concussion  if  racing  plates 
are  worn  on  him.  Trainer  Lakeland  might  take  a  leaf  from 
the  trotting  horse  men's  book  by  using  material  to  break  the 
concussion.

d-PiUCIAL    DEPARTMENT 

EDITED  AND  CONDUCTED  SOLELY   BY 

JOSEPH     CAIRN     SIMPSON. 


Reform.— Dr.  Percival,  Minister  at  Rugby,  England,  in 
a  sermon,  used  the  following  language : 

"  When  an  English  nobleman  patronized  the  turf  with  its 
steady  growth  of  dishonesty  and  degradation,  simply  to  grat- 
ify a  feeling  of  excitement,  and  did  not  use  an  effort  or  raise 
a  finger  to  reform  it,  he  came  under  the  same  condemnation." 
This  is  the  keynote  to  the  signal  which  will  be  sounded  in 
all  parts  of  the  world  where  modern  racing  prevails,  and 
which  will  assurely  bring  disaster  unless  efforts  are  used  and 
hands  raised  to  avert  the  blow  by  those  who  are  the  most  in- 
terested in  the  permanency  of  turf  sports.  It  is  not  the  turf 
which  has  evoked  denunciations,  but  the  steady  growth  of 
dishonesty  and  degradation  which  have  awakened  ^the  ani- 
mosity of  a  very  large  proportion  of  the  inhabitants  of  Great 
Britain  and  ths  United  States.  The  degradation  from  a  whole- 
some recreation,  an  amusement  which  has  been  sanctioned  by 
the  wisest  and  best,  to  a  mere  gambling  device,  and  that  of  a 
sort  which  is  more  fascinating  to  its  votaries  than  any  other. 
Encouraging  dishonesty  by  a  system  whereby  robberies  can 
be  committed  without  danger  of  adequate  punishment  if  de- 
tected, and  making  detection  so  difficult  that  even  that  risk  is 
accepted  with  small  fear  of  the  result.  Condoning  the  most 
flagrant  violations  of  the  rules  by  substituting  fines  after  the 
highest  penalties  have  been  imposed,  turning  investigations 
which  should  have  been  directed  towards  correcting  admitted 
evils,  into  farcical  trials  which  can  hardly  fail  to  awaken  con- 
tempt, are  not  likely  to  advance  the  interests  of  turf  and 
track. 

But  by  far  the  most  threatening  of  the  evils  which  men- 
ace the  existence  of  sports,  in  which  horses  are  participants, 
is  making  all  the  features  of  racing  and  trotting  subservient 
to  gambling  interests.  Nothing  like  so  formidable  an  adver 
sary  in  harness  contests  as  those  which  have  posed  under  the 
Dame  of  "legitimate"  ;  once  worthily  worn,  now  merely  a 
pseudonym,  a  mocking  delusion  which  does  not  impose  on 
any  one  with  capacity  enough  to  distinguish  between  truth 
and  falsehood,  and  with  opportunity  to  observe.  But  the  point 
of  the  wedge  has  been  forced  into  the  crevices  of  the  track,and 
though  the  blown  of  the  maul  have  so  f*»r  been  light,  when 
the  danger  of  being  rejected  by  the  first  resistance  has  been 
overcome  they  will  be  heavy  and  rapid.  Book-betting  is  the 
foundation  on  which  the  danger  is  erected,  and  with  such  a 
foundation  what  can  be  expected? 

Id  combination  with  long-continued  meetings  and  "sprint'' 
racing,  the  day  of  retribution  is  sure  to  come,  and  that  at  no 
very  distant  date.  Inevitable!  The  longer  delayed  the 
more  complete  the  destruction.  Should  it  be  overturned  by 
the  assaults  of  outside  forces  racing  is  doomed 
without  hope  of  resuscitation  for  years  and 
generations  to  come.  And  racing  cannot  be  broken  up  with- 
out including  trotting  in  its  wreck.  But  if  reform  is  inaugur- 
ated by  the  friends  of  racing,  reformation  being  so  thorough 
that  the  good  sense  of  the  community  will  accept  it  as  suffic- 
ient, there  will  be  no  danger  in  the  hereafter.  And  this  thor- 
ough cleansing  of  the  Augean  Stable  will  not  entail  a  loss  to 
those  who  are  the  most  deeply  interested  in  the  permancy  of 
turf  sports.  The  gambling  department  of  the  turf  will  suffer 
a  loss  of  revenue.  The  bookmaker,  and  the  tout,  and  the 
manipulator  of  races,  the  men  who  corrupt  trainers  and  jock- 
eys, the  parasites  of  the  turf  will  howl  over  the  curtailment 
of  their  profits,  with  very  many  of  them  the  lamentations  will 
end  with  a  shriek  of  despair  at  the  loss  of  their  occupation. 
It  is  either  that  or  the  breaking  up  of  the  whole  fabric,  when 
breeders,  owners  and  all  the  members  of  the  guild  are  over- 
whelmed in  the  common  ruin. 

The  papers,  too,  which  are  "  devoted  to  the  interests  of  the 
horse  and  his  master,"  will  fall  when  the  temple  comes  down, 
and  down  it  must  come  when  the  rotten  pillars  are  encircled 
with  a  chain,  forged  by  an  overwhelming  public  opinion,  and 
with  the  strength  of  tens  of  thousands  of  Samsons  exerted  to 
ensure  complete  demolition,  unless  fingers  and  arms  are 
raised  by  those  on  the  inside  to  retard  the  "steady  growth  of 
dishonesty  and  degradation,"  to  replace  the  branches  which 
bear  apples  of  Sodom  with  scions  that  will  produce  healthy 
fruit.  There  is  a  good  stock  to  graft  it  upon.  A  stock  on 
which  the  original  branches  nourished  that  which  gave 
pleasure  to  peer  and  peasant,  and  which  found  favor  with  all 
save  these  callous  natures,  happier  in  darkness  than  sunshine, 
gloomy  ascetics  who  think  all  enjoyment  sinful ;  who  cherish 
a  hatred  for  flowers  and  singing  birds;  who  turn  a  deaf  ear 
to  the  melody  of  falling  waters;  who  would  spread  a  pall 
over  a  rosebush  and  daub  the  lily  with  grime  from  a  soot-cov- 
ered poL 

Were  these  people  the  only  objectors  ;  were  this  class  the 
sole  opponents  to  the  sports  of  turf  and  track,  there  would  be 
little  to  fear.  But  when  there  is  cause  for  an  entirely  differ- 
ent section  of  the  "  body  politic"  to  find  fault,  when  there 
are  features  which  cannot  be  excused  without  gross  perversion 
of  the  facts  patent  to  everyone  who  has  the  smallest  knowl- 
edge of  the  present  stale  of  affairs,  the  situation  is  changed. 
Then  there  is  a  Junction.  Bigots  and  conservatives  join  their 
forces,  and  the  fiercer  element  insist  upon  a  course  which  will 
meet  their  approval.  It  is  not  necessary  to  reiterate  the 
teachings  of  the  past  on  this  point  further  than  to  recall  the 
acts  passed  in  New  Jersey  and  Connecticut,  and  the  portents 
which  are  apparent  in  all  sections  of  the  country.  That  the 
danger  is  not  restricted  to  isolated  places  is  beyond  reasonable 
contention,  and  that  wherever  the  present  methods  prevail  it 
is  so  imminent  that  to  deny  it  is  proof  of  ignorance  of  cause 
and  effect,  or  present  pecuniary  interests  obscuring  the  judge 
ment.  Underrating  the  danger  is  the  greatest  peril.  Were 
those  who  are  the  most  interested  in  the  continued  prosper- 
ity of  the  turf  and  associated  interests  cognizant  of  the  pre- 
carious con  lition,  and  fully  realized  the  importance  of  action 
from  the  inside  to  overcome  obstacles  in  the  way  of  perpetu- 
ating the  "  royal  sport,"  there  would  be  nothing  to  fear. 

Those  who  are  the  most  influential  in  sustaining  it  under 
the  present  conditions  are,  in  all  probability,  imbued  with  a 
ftrong  desire  for  the  future  welfare  of  the  turf.  They  look 
at  it  from  a  different  point  of  view,  and  make  light  of  the 
charges  bro-i:-1 .  ,  or  it  will  be  belter  to  say,  while  conceding 
that  some  reforms  are  necessarv,  are  of  the  opinion  that  the 
opposition  is  noi  hazardous,  and  that  those  who  warn  are  false 
prophets,  pessimists  who  magnify  the  risk  of  continuing  prac- 


tices which  have  brought  ruin  elsewhere,  were  it  possible  to 
convince  these  men  that  there  was  real  danger  before  it  is  too 
late  there  would  be  no  trepidatton  on  the  part  of  advocates 
of  reform.  Just  as  anxious  and  just  as  sincere  to  avert  the 
trouble  if  there  were  (in  their  estimation)  cause  for  forebod- 
ings, they  deem  it  unnecessary  to  join  forces  with  those  who 
will  be  forced  into  an  alliance  with  the  fanatical  decision 
until  the  time  is  passed  for  compromise.  By  uniting  with 
those  who  are  so  anxious  to  save  the  sports,  in  which  horses 
are  engaged,  and  the  immense  interests  in  connection  there- 
with, by  anticipating  adverse  legislator.,  associations  and 
proprietors  of  racecourses  can  place  the  question  beyond  any 
chance  of  being  lost.  Not  only  for  the  near  future  but  also 
for  a  long  period  thereafter,  and  that  without  suffering  pecuni- 
ary loss. 

i  can  name  three  men  in  California  who,  in  unison  with 
the  large  majority  of  horse  owners  favoring  reform, can  secure 
legislation  that  will  place  the  horse  interests  of  the  State  on 
a  safe  basis,  a  foundation  so  stable  that,  in  all  reason,  would 
ensure  permanency  for  a  long  time  to  come.  With  these  men 
in  opposition  to  reform  the  task  will  beTar  more  arduous  and  it 
may  be  beyond  the  power  of  the  well-wishers  of  the  cause  to 
carry  measures  of  protection.  It  may  be  that  if  delayed  for 
two  years  longer  the  combination  mentioned  will  be  power- 
less, and  California  hampered  by  such  laws  as  prevail  jn  New 
Jersey  and  Connecticut.  With  laws  analagous  to  the  New 
York  statutes  the  danger  will  not  be  presented,  and  breeders 
and  owners  of  horses,  and  the  large  class  who  are  dependent 
on  the  sport  being  sustained  for  their  livelihood  ensured 
against  interference. 

I  have  not  any  misgivings  that  the  three  men  who  can 
affect  so  much  are  not  heartily  in  favor  of  any  scheme  which 
will  promote  the  interests  they  are  so  intimately  connected 
with.  Two  of  them  are  breeders  of  racehorses  and  that  on 
no  small  scale.  One  combines  the  breeding  of  trotters  with 
his  thoroughbred  stud,  and  all  of  them  are  largely  interested 
in  racing  affairs.  Men  of  position  and  public  standing,  of 
wealth  and  recognized  ability,  popular  men,  who  could  exert 
so  great  an  influence  that  when  joined  with  conservatives  op- 
position would  be  in  vain.  Let  us  hope  that  their  fingres 
will  be  raised  in  support  of  the  needed  reformation. 
*      * 

Favorably  Received. — So  far  as  I  have  heard  the  ques- 
tion commented  upon,  there  is  complete  unanimity  in  favor 
of  interjecting  with  the  trotting  programmes  "owner  to  drive" 
races.  It  may  be  that  a  few  narrow-minded  professionals 
may  regard  it  as  an  innovation  which  trenches  upon  their 
rights,  but  as  a  rule  those  who  are  in  the  foremost  ranks  of 
the  order  are  not  prone  to  be  jealous,  and  among  those  who 
are  blessed  with  a  fair  share  of  acumen  it  is  well  known,  that 
any  deviation  which  will  add  to  the  popularity  of  harness 
sports  will  trend  to  their  advantage.  It  cannot  be  expected 
that  occasional  trials  will  give  the  same  skill  as  constant 
practice,  and  were  the  tests  between  professional  and  amateur 
restricted  to  driving  horses  unknown  to  both  that  the  regu- 
lars would  gain  a  decided  victory.  Were  the  amateur  to  sub 
mit  his  horse  to  other  hands  during  the  stage  preparatory  to 
the  race,  without  seeking  a  more  intimate  acquaintance  than 
was  afforded  by  the  "  warming  up  "  process,  the  result  could 
scarcely  be  satisfactory.  About  the  same  in  that  case  as  to 
"  get  behind  "  a  horse  that  was  entirely  strange.  But  there 
is  no  one  who  is  at  all  likely  to  take  part  in  the  proposed 
contests  who  could  not  take  the  time  to  look  after  the  train- 
ing as  well  as  to  drive  when  the  stake  is  in  sight,  and  in  case 
daily  attention  could  not  be.  given  then  the  "working-out" 
days  would  afford  a  reasonable  readiness  for  the  trial.  There 
was  a  good  deal  of  good  sense  in  the  remark  of  an  owner  of 
quite  a  noted  horse  whicb  was  on  the  California  tracks  some 
twenty  years  ago.  The  horse  had  done  well  under  the  care  of 
a  man  who  did  not  grade  in  the  highest  notch  as  the  driver  of 
trotters,  and  who  was  some  forty  pounds  over  weight.  Owing 
to  the  urgent  advice  of  bis  friends  the  owner  transferred  him 
to  one  of  the  very  best  drivers  in  this  or  any  other  State  and 
who  was  not  adversely  handicapped  by  extra  bodily  weight. 
The  first  race,  however,  in  which  the  horse  started  after  the 
change  did  not  prove  that  the  ad\antage,  so  fondly  and 
authoritatively  predicted,  was  apparent,  and  after  the  loss  of 
a  couple  of  heats,  the  owner  addressed  the  new  driver :    "Mr. 

you  do  not  understand   my  horse,  or  my  horse  does  not 

understand  you, will  now  drive  him  the  remainder  of 

this  race."  A  mutual  understanding  is  of  great  importance, 
driver  and  horse  thoroughly  in  unison  to  bring  about  the 
highest  success. 

There  are  good  reasons  for  the  belief  that  an  owner  gives 
suitable  attention  to  his  horse,  who  endeavors  to  secure  its 
co-operation  by  an  intelligent  system  of  education,  and  who 
has  become  familiar  with  the  fundamental  principles  of 
training  and  driving  will,  with  some  practice,  prove  an  apt 
scholar  competent  to  meet  professionals  on  equal  terms.  This 
being  assured  the  enjoyment  which  will  be  found  in  being  an 
actual  and  active  participant  in  racing,  in  place  of  a  passive 
looker-on,  will  be  a  powerful  incentive  to  own  fast  trotters 
and  pacers,  and  though  the  ranks  at  first  may  be  somewhat 
restricted  in  number  it  will  not  be  long  until  the  example 
will  bring  numerous  recruits.  But  sporadic  offers  will  not 
bring  about  the  desired  result.  One,  or  a  few  associations,  to 
insert  a  race  for  owners  to  drive  in  their  programmes  will 
not  be  sufficient  to  bring  it  into  general  publicity,  though  if 
a  majority  introduce  the  novel  feature  it  will  not  be  long 
until  it  will  be  on  a  solid  base.  In  all  of  the  larger  towns 
of  the  country  there  are  people  who  are  fond  of  road  driv- 
ing. Give  them  an  opportunity  to  take  part  in  a  far  more 
exciting  recreation,  and  let  them  realize  that  it  will  be  con- 
tinued should  there  be  a  fitting  response  to  the  offer  and  there 
will  be  an  increase  of  road-drivers  and  a  better  demand  for 
horses.  Owners  to  drive  may  not  be  broad  enough  to  effect 
the  desired  end.  It  may  be  better  to  take  a  wider  range  and 
include  non- professionals  in  the  conditions  that  might 
simplify  the  question  and  open  a  larger  field  of  supply. 
Classification  would  be  easier,  the  whole  range  at  command, 
and  with  plenty  of  material  from  the  start.

Sharpening  The  Tools.— Lively  times  now  on  the  tracks 
in  all  sections  of  the  country.  Getting  trotters  and  pacers 
ready  for  battle  is  the  order  and  so  far  as  I  can  learn  with 
satisfactory  accompaniments.  From  what  I  see  there  are 
good  grounds  for  the  belief  that  the  coming  battles  will  be 
waged  with  great  confidence  by  a  majority  of  the  participants) 


and  that  defeat  at  one  place  will  not  dishearten,  or  even  a 
series  of  losses  impair  the  faith  in  the  future.  And  with  good 
reasons  for  confidence. 

This  is  the  twenty-first  summer  that  I  have  been  a  specta- 
tor of  the  doings  on  the  Oakland  track,  and  can  safely  say 
that  for  the  number  in  training,  in  no  previous  year  has  the 
showing  been  so  good  Speed  surely  as  those  which  can  show 
a  twenty-gait  or  better  are  numerous,  and  though 
miles,  so  far,  have  been  "  rated "  outside  of  what 
has  been  termed  the  inner-circle,  the  capacity 
to  go  "  low-down  in  the  teens  "  is  shared  by  several  of  those 
at  work.  The  Montana-California  Stable,  Williams  and 
Morehouse,  is  sure  to  be  prominsnt,  and  with  a  fair  share  of 
luck  will  have  earned  many  brackets  while  1894  is  yet  un- 
finished. Silver  Bow,  lago  and  Montana,  with  some  very 
promising  Silver  Bow  youngsters  for  the  juvenile  classes 
mean  many  victories.  The  Spreckles  Stable,  though  weighted 
with  some  ailments  in  the  shape  of  "  legs,"  which  are  any- 
thing but  a  pleasure  for  the  trainer  to  consider,  contains 
speed  enough  to  make  a  big  mark,  or  rather  a  succession  of 
marks  which  indicate  success.  Prince  Dexter  is  a  worthy 
member  of  the  houses  of  Mambrino  Chief,  Hambletonian 
and  American  Star,  and  will  surely  add  to  the  renown 
of  his  celebrated  sire  if  the  leg  he  carries 
is         not         a         serious       retardation.  Chloe        is 

surely  a  better  mare  than  ever,  and  Senator  L.  will  be  a  hard 
customer  to  handle  when  the  race  is  prolonged.  Dexter 
Thorne  can  go  around  that  first  slow  turn  at  a  rate  that 
makes  the  wheels  burn,  and  Princess  Louise,  the  belle  of  the 
track,  and  so  very  handsome  that  p.he  would  excite  admira- 
tion in  any  circle  of  equine  beauly,  is  fast  enough  to  please 
the  most  exacting  critic.  Should  she  gain  in  steadiness  as 
she  has  in  speed — and  being  only  a  three-year-old  there  is  a 
good  chance  for  that — she  will  have  a  share  of  the  fast  miles 
of  the  season.  Free  Coinage  is  an  evidence  of  what  kind  and 
careful  handling  will  accomplish  in  correcting  evil  habits. 

No  telling  what  freak  he  would  attempt,  and  it  is 
said  that  on  one  occasion  he  tried  to  climb  a  big 
oak  tree,  but  a  heavy  cart  was  in  the  way  of  this 
arboreal  feat  being  successfully  accomplished.  Docile 
and  well-mannered  now,  and  with  this  gain  in  gentility  of 
behavior  an  increase  of  speed  that  promises  a  return  in  the 
classes  he  is  named  in.  He  has  got  to  the  wire  first  in  every 
finish  of  the  miles  1  have  seen,  and  some  of  them  going  the 
"  last  quarter'  at  a  rate  that  brought  an  ullra-broad-smile  on 
the  face  of  his  owner.  Daylight,  the  horse  by  Chief  of  the 
Echoes  which  bears  the  duplicate  title,  gave  Free  Coinage 
the  closest  brush,  and  as  be  was  a  couple  of  lengths  behind 
at  the  three-quarter  mark  and  only  beaten  a  neck  or  so  it  is 
still  a  debatable  question  which  was  entitled  to  the  plaudits. 
He  is  a  big,  fine-looking  horse  and  moves  like  a  sure-enougb 
trotter.  A  whole  lot  of  fast  trotters  in  addition  to  those 
mentioned,  and  on  working-out  days  there  is  lively  mark 
among  all  of  them.  With  the  exception  of  Sunday  and 
Monday  the  rest  of  the  week  is  pretty  well  taken  up  with 
"repeats." 

The  pacers  are  well  represented.  None  of  the  stars  of  the 
first  magnitcde,  perhaps,  but  one  or  two  which  may  shine 
with  a  good  deal  of  brilliancy  in  the  firmanent  of  side-wheel- 
ers before  the  season  is  brought  to  a  close.  There  is  a  large, 
good-looking  bay  from  over  the  mountains  that  has  speed  in 
sufficiency  to  cope  with  real  fast  ones,  but  his  erraticism  is 
so  pronounced  that  a  "  mistake  "  means  complete  demoraliza- 
tion. A  day  or  two  ago  he  went  on  the  outside  of  one  of  Mr 
Williams'  horses,  and  with  apparent  ease  reached  the  half  in 
time  which  was  indicative  that  he  could  go  very  fast,  and 
then  a  break,  an  utter  collapse,  which  left  him  nearly  a  quar- 
ter of  a  mile  behind.  This  has  been  his  one  failing,  and  that 
may  be  overcome  before  the  circuit  opens,  as  his  trainer 
appears  to  be  pursuing  the  right  course  to  reclaim  if  reclama- 
tion be  possible.  Oh !  those  "  bad  breakers."  Speed  it  may  be 
in  abundance ;  endurance  which  will  cover  any  reasonable 
amount  of  ground,  and  heats  for  a  whole  afternoon  fail  to 
bring  them  to  a  stop,  and  all  rendered  of  "  no  account  "  by 
the  propensity  to  "  go  in  the  air  "  and  dance,  not  a  j'g,  but  a 
sort  of  a  crazy  minuet  while  the  slower  ones  are  opening  a  gap 
which  race-horse  speed  cannot  dose.  And  yet  that  propens- 
ity is  not  so  aggravating  as  incapacity  to  "go  the  route,"  and 
were  I  given  the  choice  of  a  horse  which  indulged  in  cara- 
coles, terra-a-terras,  demi-voltoes,  passadoes  and  all  the  other 
actions  peculiar  to  the  manage  in  the  famous  Duke  of  New- 
castle's day,  or  one  which  would  come  glibly  to  within  a  fur- 
long of  home,  and  then  "  sit  down  in  the  breeching"  with  an 
emphasis  which  told,  that  no  manner  of  persuasion  would 
help  the  predicament,  the  rattle-headed  fellow  would  have 
the  preference. 

There  is  hope  in  one  case,  and  it  may  be  that  in  the  other 
a  want  of  condition  is  the  cause,  and  60  in  the  training  of 
trotters  and  pacers  the  "  flattering  unction  "  buoys  one  to 
attempt  a  cure  whatever  the  disease  may  be. 

There  is  a  pacer  at  the  Oakland  track  which  was  decidedly 
touchy  last  year,  and  now  is  a  paragon  for  good  behavior,  and 
horses  which  have  been  condemned,  branded  as  arrant  curs 
that  under  different  treatment  have  proved  game  and  endur- 
ing. 

Well  worthy  of  a  visit  on  these  bright  midsummer  days 
is  the  Oakland  Trotting  Park  to  those  who  fancy  the  light- 
harness  horse. 

In  a  little  more  than  a  calendar  month  many  of  them  will 
be  fighting  for  fame  and  fortune  on  the  Bay    District,  and  *t 
previous  acquaintance  will  heighten    the    enjoyment     of 
spectators.

Five  Darbys. — However  disagreeable  it  may  be  to  the 
residents  of  other  "racehorse-regions"  to  listen  to  blasts  of 
trumpets  over  the  success  of  California-bred  horses,  Califor- 
nians  can  ofler  the  apology,  that  it  is  only  a  few  years  ago 
when  there  were  heaps  of  ridicule  over  the  prophesy  that 
this  country  would  take  a  good  place  as  the  nursery  of  race- 
horses and    the  training  ground  of  fast  trotters  and  pacers. 

The  superiority  of  our  harness  horses  has  been  ascribed  to 
the  geniality  of  the  climate  which  gave  an  opportunity  to 
carry  on  the  training  with  very  slight  breaks,  and  this  in  a 
partly  artificial  gait  was.  of  course,  highly  important.  It  is 
also  an  aid  in  developing  racing  colts,  and  this  advantage 
united  to  judicious  breeding  is  unquestionably  the  main 
cause  of  success.  That  was  the  foundation  for  prophesies, 
but  the  most  ardent  Yates  could  scarcely  anticipate  five 
American  Derbys  won  in  the  first  eleven  years.  Still  more 
wonderful  that  one  man  should  win  four  of  them  and  three 
of  the  victors  bred  by  himself.

One  victory  at  the  start,  and  then  a  reduction  of  her  record 
to  "close  to  twenty  "  in  the  second.  This  adds  another  Elec- 
tioneer to  the  list,  and  that  from  a  thoroughbred  mare.  The 
"  wonderful  potency  "  of  the  great  sire  which  overcame  the 
barriers  of  "  hot  blood,"  according  to  the  dogmatic  assertions 
of  many  writers,  has  been  rarelv  assisted  by  that  blood,  and 
the  end  is  not  yet.  I  saw  an  Electioneer  a  few  days  ago 
which  showed  step  enough  to  get  well  within  the  circle  tor 
several  repeats  that  is  from  a  Norfolk  mare  and  other  thor- 
oughbred crosses  back  of  that.  But  good  as  the  showing  is  in 
the  first  generation  of  Electioneer  on  one  side  and  hot  blood 
on  the  other,  there  are  indications  thai  it  will  not  lose  any  of 
its  potency  in  succeeding  generations.  Palo  Alto  has  cer- 
tainly done  better  than  his  sire  when  the  number  of  his  get 
is  taken  into  consideration,  and  .Azmoor  and  Whips  are 
proving  worthy  coadjutors.  There  will  be  much  interest 
taken  in  the  produce  of  Altivo  and  Rowena.  That  will 
double  both  Electioneer  and  thoroughbred,  and  right  here  in 
advance  I  desire  to  state,  that  should  the  progeny  prove  to 
be  of  the  class,  there  are  the  best  of  reasons  to  expect  the 
credit  must  be  awarded  to  both  branches.

Racing  at  San  Jose. 


San  Jose,  June  26. — Although  it  was  decided  Saturday 
that  no  more  racing  would  be  held  here  by  the  Breeders  and 
Horsemen's  Association,  the  order  was  not  heeded  by  some 
of  the  members,  and  this  afternoon  the  programme  was  car- 
ried out  as  first  agreed.  There  will  be  races  every  afternoon 
this  week,  with  no  admission  fee  at  the  gate.  There  was  a 
good  crowd  in  attendance  this  afternoon  and  ,the  sport  was 
excellent.  Nothing  unexpected  happened  in  the  first  two 
events.  The  third  race  at  six  furlongs,  for  all  ages,  found 
O'Bee,  Rvlaud,  M^y  Pritchard,  Morton  and  Mendocino 
starters. 

The  start  was  easily  made  and  O'Bee  took  the  lead,  which 
was  contantly  lengthened  until  he  came  under  the  wire,  win- 
ning by  about  eight  lengths  in  an  easy  gallop,  Ryland  sec- 
ond, Morton  third.  May  Pritchard  ran  a  poor  fourth.  Just 
after  the  horses  got  under  way  Mendocino,  who  was  counted 
for  third  place,  fell,  throwing  the  jockey  (Donaldson)  head- 
long. For  a  moment  it  appeared  as  if  a  very  serious  acci- 
dent had  occurred,  but  Donaldson  was  soon  seen  to  rise,  and 
shortly  afterward  came  to  the  stand  unhurt. 

In  the  last  race,  three-year-olds  and  upward  who  have  uot 
won  a  race  since  January  1,  1894,  six  were  entered.  The  dis- 
tance was  four  furlongs,  and  Kathleen,  Roanoke,  Monarch, 
Dnrango,  Mamie  D.  and  Vamoose  started.  The  betting  was 
exceedinglv  lively,  Kathleen  being  the  favorite,  and  selling 
at  from  $5  to  $7,  Monarch  for  second  choice  at  $3  and  the 
field  from  $1  to  $2  50.  A  surprise  was  in  store  for  all.  Kath- 
leen, who  was  counted  a  sure  winner,  was  beaten  by  both 
Monarch  and  Roanoke.  The  horses  came  under  the  wire 
as  follows :  Monarch,  Roanoke,  Kathleen  and  Durango.

Wednesday's  races. 

San  Jose,  June  27. — The  success  of  Monday's  race  meet 
and  the  fact  that  the  admission  was  free  drew  a  large  crowd 
to  the  track  to-day.  Every  race  was  an  enigma  until  the 
wire  was  reached.  In  the  first  race,  for  three-year-olds  and 
upward,  at  six  furlongs,  Alexis,  White  Cloud,  Ivy,  St.  Elmo 
and  Yangadene  started.  White  Cloud  was  the  favorite,  with 
St.  Elmo  second  choice.  The  start  was  easily  made,  White 
Cloud  taking  the  lead,  closely  followed  by  Alexis  and  St. 
Elmo.  On  the  last  turn  Alexis  forced  his  way  through  and 
won  by  a  close  margin.  White  Cloud  was  second  and  St. 
Elmo  third. 

In  the  second  race  Kathleen,  Roanoke,  Monarch,  Mamie 
D.  and  Vamoose  started.  At  the  start  Roanoke  took  the 
lead  in  a  jump  and  looked  a  sore  winner.  Kathleen  and 
Monarch  were  pressing  him  hard,  however.  At  the  three- 
eighths  the  three  changed  positions,  the  bay  mare  Kathleen 
taking  the  lead,  followed  by  Roanoke,  with  Monarch  a  close 
third,  which  potions  were  held  until  the  finish,  Kathleen 
winning  easily  by  about  two  and  a  half  lengths. 

Dick  O'Malley,  Mendocino,  Happy  Band  and  Mustesa 
started  in  the  third  race,  with  Mustesa  a  strong  favorite  in 
the  betting.  Mustesa  and  Mendocino  ran  head  and  head  to 
the  three-eighths  post,  closely  followed  by  Dick  O'Malley. 
At  this  point  Mustesa  forged  ahead  and  kept  the  lead,  win 
niDg  by  about  a  nose.     The  fourth  race  was  declared  off".

THURSDAY'S  RACES. 

San  Jose,  June  28. — There  was  a  good  attendance  at  the 
races  to-day.  The  races  were  good,  with  the  exception  of 
the  five-and-a-half-furlong  event,  which  nnny  were  inclined 
to  consider  a  fluke. 

The  first  race,  six  furlongs,  for  three-year-olds  and  up- 
ward, was  productive  of  one  of  the  prettiest  finishes  ever  seen 
on  the  track.  Ivy  Morton  was  a  strong  favorite.  Morton  and 
Pritchard  were  both  mean,  and  it  took  an  hour  and  a  quarter 
of  patient  work  to  get  them  off.  When  the  horses  finally 
started  it  was  a  pretty  race.  O'Malley,  Pritchard  and  Morion 
ran  in  a  bunch  to  the  stretch.  Then  O'Malley  and  Morton 
pulled  away,  with  the  former  leading  slightly.  At  the  gate 
Appleby  began  to  urge  Morton,  and  he  rushed  by  O'Mf.lley, 
winning  by  a  very  dangerous  margin.  Ivy  in  the  meantime 
had  passed  May  Pritchard  and  beat  her  to  the  wire  for  third 
place. 

The  second  race  was  rather  an  unsatisfactory  contest, 
though  the  judges  decided  it  was  all  right.  Romulus  took 
the  lead,  with  Prince  at  his  heels.  In  the  stretch  Seaman, 
who  was  riding  Romulus,  apparently  pulled  his  mount  two 
or  three  times,  and  the  favorite  won  by  a  length,  with  Ry- 
land third  and  Monarch  a  poor  fourth.  The  judges,  after 
examining  the  jockevs  and  considering  the  matter,  declared 
the  race  all  right  and  ordered  the  pools  paid. 

The  third  race  was  a  good  contest.  At  the  start  Churea 
was  leading.  He  was  passed  in  the  stretch  by  Miss  Buckley 
and  Flirtilla,  who  ran  a  close  race  to  ^he  wire,  Miss  Buckley 
winning  by  half  a  length. 

The  fourth  and  last  race  was  an  eye-opener  for  the  talent. 
Fly  was  the  horse  they  spotted  to  win  and  backed  heavily. 
After  one  or  two  attempts  the  horses  got  away  well  bunched. 
Kathleen  took  the  lead  at  the  jump  and  kept  a  generous 
breadth  of  sunlight  between  her  and  the  rest  of  the  field  to 
the  wind-up.

Salisbury's  Days  at  Omaha 
[Special  Dispatch  to  B3EE0ER  and  SPOETaMAN.J 

At  Union  Park,  Omaha,  June  23th,  two  horses  in  Monroe 
Salisbury's  string  won  their  races  easily,  and  one  three- 
year-old  stallion.  Altivo,  brother  to  Palo  Alto,  was  a  good 
second  to  the  speedy  Nellie  Cobb  in  the  race  she  won.  Dr. 
Sperry  showed  himself  to  be  a  very  reliable  racehorse,  while 
Directly,  the  black  colt  by  Direct,  which  was  stated  to  be 
faster  than  his  sire  was  at  his  age,  demonstrated  his  worth  to- 
day, Carbonate,  the  DuBois*  pacer,  was  distanced  in  the  third 
heat.  Flying  Jib  looked  stronger  and  better  than  he  ever 
did,  and  driven  by  Andy  McDowell,  paced  the  fastest 
mile  ever  traveled  bv  a  harness  horse  west  of  the  Mississippi. 
Over  5,000  people  saw  him  go  without  a  pace  maker  from 
wire  to  wire  without  a  skip  in  2:05$,  Monroe  Salisbury 
says  that  if  he  did   not  cast  his  shoe  at  Denver  last  week 


he  would  have  left  all  his  contestants  on  the  off  side  of  the

At    Sheepshead    Bay. 

New  Yore,  June  28. — Richard  Croker's  Dobbins  is  right 
again.  He  won  the  Tidal  stakes  to-day  in  the  handiest  of 
styles.  There  were  five  entries.  Littlefield  obeyed  stable  in- 
structions and  hustled  Prig  to  the  front  the  instant  the  flag 
fell.  With  a  lead  of  from  four  to  five  lengths  over  Dobbins, 
who  was  the  most  forward  of  the  others,  they  were  struog 
out  in  Indian  file,  with  Sir  Excess  bringing  up  in  the  rear. 
There  was  but  little  change  from  this  order  until  the  far  turn 
was  reached.  Simms  then  began  to  move  up  with  Dobbins. 
He  gradually  encroached  upon  Prig's  lead  until  he  had  him 
beaten.  As  soon  as  they  swung  into  the  homestretch  St. 
Maxim  challenged  Dobbins.  Simms  shook  the  favorite  up 
and  he  came  away  from  St.  Maxim  as  if  he  were  standing 
still.  Dobbins  won  easily  by  a  length  and  a  half.  After  a 
vigorous  finish  Sir  Excess  beat  St.  Maxim  a  head  for  place. 
Taral could  do  nothing  with  Aureliau  and  he  finished  abso- 
lutely last. 

The  start  for  the  Long  Island  handicap  was  a  fair  one  for 
all  but  Lowlander.  Fred  Douglass  was  the  taskmaster  until 
they  began  to  round  the  turn  into  the  homestretch.  Sir 
Walter  then  went  to  the  front.  He  was  challenged  bv  Roche 
a  furlong  from  home.  A  terrific  drive  ensued.  Sir  Walter 
came  to  the  last  gasp  and  won  a  grand  victory  by  a  nose. 
Roche  beat  Don  Alonzo  a  length  and  a  half  for  the  place.  St. 
Michael  was  only  beaten  a  head  for  third  money. 

There  was  a  startling  reversal  of  form  in  the  first  race  in 
which  fifteen  horses  took  part.  It  was  over  the  Futurity 
course.  Wernberg  and  Eandit  were  both  in  great  demand. 
At  the  close  of  the  betting  Wernberg  had  the  call  by  a  frac- 
tion of  a  point  over  Bandit.  The  winner  turned  up  in  Ken- 
tigerna.  In  her  previous  races  this  season  Kentigerna  has 
either  performed  very  moderately  «r  pulled  up  bleeding.  She 
was  not  entitled  to  support.  The  contrary  was  the  case.  She 
opened  at  15  to  1,  and  a  substantial  wager  was  placed  on 
every  book.  The  best  quotation  against  her  at  the  close  was 
8tol. 

She  won  the  race  without  once  ever  having  left  the  issue 
in  doubt.  It  made  the  talent  pause  to  see  which  way  the 
money  went  before  they  began  their  speculations  on  the  sec- 
ond race. 

Bishop,  the  jockey  who  was  injured  riding  San  Jose  in  the 
Coney  Island  Grand  National  Steeplechase  last  Saturday, 
died  here  this  morning.  He  suffered  intense  agony  yesterday 
evening,  became  unconscious  about  midnight,  and  never  ral- 
lied until  death.  He  will  be  remembered  in  California  as  one 
of  the  best  hurdle  and  steeple-chase  jockeys  seen  there. 

Old  Raceland  was  ordered  shot  this  morning  by  Mr.  Dwyer, 
who  was  satisfied  the  poor  beast  couldn't  recover,  and  was 
suffering  intensely.  Mr.  Dwyer  was  visibly  affected  and  could 
not  speak  to  anybody.  Tears  were  in  his  eyes.  No  horse 
that  has  died  here  in  years  had  created  such  an  interest. 

"  Old  Bones,"  as  he  was  called,  was  a  universal  favorite, 
and  everywhere  round  the  track  there  was  sympathy  ex- 
pressed. Many  of  the  boys  wanted  him  to  be  buried  in  the 
inner  field,  where  thpy  wished  to  contribute  a  tablet  to  be 
erected  to  his  memory.  Following  is  a  summary  of  to-dav's 
races: 

First  race,  Futurity  course,  Kentigerna  won,  Factoti.m  sec- 
ond, Trevelyn  third.  Time,  1:12  2  5. 

Second  race,  Futurity  course,  C»sar  won,  Ella  Reed  sec- 
ond, The  Coon  third.     Time,  1:12. 

Third  race,  one  mile — Dobbins  won,  Sir  Excess  second, 
St.  Maxim  third.  Time,  1:40. 

Fourth  race,  mile  and  an  eighth — Sir  Walter  won,  Roche 
second,  Don  Alonzo  third.    Time,  1:55. 

Fifth  race,  one  mile — Copyright  won,  Roller  second,  Ves- 
tibule third.     Time,  1:31. 

Sixth  race,  steeplechase,  short  course — Ineot  won,  Pat 
Oak'ey  second,  Westmoreland  third.    Time,  3:25. 

Bellicoso  Wins  the  Ken-wood  Stakes. 

Chicago,  June  28. — J.  Naglee  Burke's  handsome  son  of 
Peel  and  Janet  N.,  Bellicoso,  who  was  the  spring  crack  in  bis 
class  at  San  Francisco,  won  the  Kenwood  Stakes  for  two-year- 
old  colts  at  Washington  Park  to-day.  It  was  worth  $4,480 
net  to  the  winner,  and  produced  a  pretty  race.  After  a  four- 
teen minutes'  delay  the  nine  got  off  to  a  good  start  with  Sunup 
in  front  and  Bellicoso  se  cond,  necks  apart,  with  Handsome  a 
running  third.  Before  they  had  gone  twenty  strides  the 
Baldwin  colt,  away  sixth,  rushed  through  and  around  the 
big  bend.  He  and  Handsome  were  head  and  head,  and  going 
their  best. 

Bellicoso  was  closing  up,  but  so  was  Mont  re,  the  big  Ma- 
grane  colt,  rather  outracing  the  Californian  on  the  stretch 
turn.  Once  straightened  out  Reydel  Carades'  bead  was  before 
Handsome's,  and  both  under  pressure.  At  the  eighth  pole 
Rey  del  Carades  and  Van  Kuren  quit  together,  and  John 
Weber  rather  let  up  on  the  Corrigan  colt  on  the  assumption 
that  he  had  won.  This  gave  Carr  a  chance  to  get  Bellicoso 
up,  and  when  Weber  sat  down  to  ride  Handsome  again  it  was 
too  late,  Bellicoso  winning  in  the  last  stride  by  a  nose.  Lau- 
reate ran  a  good  race,  and  was  third,  a  length  away. 

It  was  a  handsome  lot  that  went  to  the  post.  The  Baldwin 
colt,  a  short,  compact  fellow  with  quality  at  every  point,  was 
the  choice  of  the  horsemen.  Corrigan's  $10,000  Handsome, 
with  the  racing  points  of  his  sire  prominent  and  a  gentlemen 
in  every  line,  was  the  talent's  selection.  Bellicoso,  a  lustv 
and  handsome  youngster,  who  looks  like  a  future  racebc- 
was  the  best  looker  of  the  lot.     H.  Mason  is  his  trainer.

The  Ferndale  Park  and  Driving  Asssciation  will  hold  a 
meet  on  J  uly  4th,  at  which  some  interesting  races  between 
local  horses  will  take  place,  says  the  Oracle. 

Hickok  has  reduced  the  weight  of  Directum's  shoes  quite 
a  bit,  and  the  black  horse  seems  to  act  the  better  for  it.  A 
mile  in  2:24  is  the  fastest  he  has  stepped  since  he  has  been  at 
Terre  Haute.  

The  Trotter  and  Pacer  is  a  welcome  turf  journal  to  our 
office,  and  we  take  pleasure  in  congratulating  the  manage- 
ment on  the  excellence  of  articles  as  well  as  the  neat  typo- 
graphical appearance  it  presents. 

Josie  Chimes,  by  Chimes,  won  her  first  race  at  Spring- 
ville,  New  York,  June  22,  in  £81},  2:29£,  2:31^  and  2:33£. 
She  won  the  first,  second  and  fourth  heats  and  entered  the 
2:30  list.   There  were  ten  contestants  in  the  race. 


Notwithstanding  the  hard  times  the  stallion  Simmons 
has  embraced  ninety-two  mares  in  1894,  at  $150  an  "  em- 
brace.'' This  summed  up  gives  the  good  sum  of  $13,800,  which 
is  a  handsome  realization  on  a  stallion  at  any  time. 

Orrin  A.  Hickok  has  Directum,  2:05},  Silicon,  2.15$, 
Karakus,  the  Russian  stallion,  Prince  Ira  and  three  green 
three-year-olds  at  Cleveland.  They  are  all  in  fine  shape.  He 
will  make  his  headquarters  there,  >nd  start  at  Detroit  in 
the  Grand  Circuit. 


Summaries  of  races  come  to  us  as  indefinite  as  ever 
It  is  almost  impossible  to  induce  turf  correspondents  to  give 
credit  to  the  sire  and  dam  of  a  good  performer.  The  secre- 
taries are  to  blame  for  not  insisting  on  having  these  little,  but 
very  important,  details  attended  to. 

The  new  grand  stand  at  Agricultural  Park,  Los  Angeles, 
is  now  completed,  and  everything  is  in  readiness  for  the 
fall  race  meeting.  Five  races  are  scheduled  to  come  off  on 
that  day — two  running  and  three  sulky  events.  None  but 
local  horses  will  be  allowed  to  contest,  every  animal  to  be 
driven  by  its  owner.  There  will  be  special  prizes  in  the  run- 
ning races. 

John  Splan  received  a  letter  recently  from  Dan  McPhee, 
and  in  it  the  Austrian  trainer  says  that  the  American  horses 
were  winning  everything  on  the  turf  in  Europe  this  year. 
Distance  does  not  appear  to  cut  any  figure  with  the  perform- 
ers that  have  been  over  there  for  some  time,  and  should  they 
keep  up  the  clip  there  will  be  an  active  demand  for  horses 
from  this  side  of  the  ocean  next  winter. 


Tnoa.  Snider,  of  Sacramento,  is  handling  a  very  smooth- 
going  two-year-old  Dexter  Prince  gelding  that  belongs  to  a 
Mr.  Hug,  of  this  city.  For  a  few  weeks  after  being  handled 
this  youngster  trotted,  and  finally,  much  to  his  trainer's  Bur- 
prise,  he  shifted  into  the  pacing  gait,  and  moves  so  smoothly 
and  swiftly  that  Mr.  Snider  wisely  concluded  to  keep  him  at 
that  way  of  going. 

FotTB  well-known  young  Califoroians  started  for  the  Mon- 
tana circuit  via  Portland,  Ore.,  last  Tuesday.  They  will  be 
the  sellers  of  pools  and  holders  of  coin  for  the  thousands  of 
bettors  at  the  race  meetings  to  be  held  at  Portland  and 
through  Montini  t.  David  Eisman,  Wm.  R.  Conner.  Fred  C. 
Bridge  and  John  H.  Corley  form  a  strong  and  talented  quar- 
tette, and  we  bespeak  for  them  a  cordial  reception  wherever 
they  may  go. 


By  a  dispatch  from  Monroe  Salisbury  it  is  learned  that 
Flying  Jib  was  distanced  in  Denver  on  account  of  casting 
one  of  his  shoes  shortly  after  leaving  the  wire. 

Del  Sur,  2:24,  our  California-bred  sire  that  is  now  owned 
in  New  England,  secured  a  new  performer  last  week  iu  Ai- 
mee,  pacer,  2:24|.  Del  Sur^s  best  performer  is  the  black 
gelding  San  Pedro,  2:I4i. 

The  DuBois  stable  has  been  shipped  to  Omaha  to  open 
the  Eastern  campaign.  Kelly  will  drive,  of  course,  and  one 
of  the  DuBois  brothers  will  be  with  the  stable  during  its  ab- 
sence throughout  the  season. 

Wm.  G-o  'E  has  a  very  tine-looking  son  of  Alex.  Button  at 
the  Oakland  track.  He  is  called  Harry  Z.,  his  dam  is  by 
Chieftain  and  as  he  has  size,  speed  and  gameness,  he  will  do 
very  well  in  the  green  classes  this  year. 

One  of  the  fastest  yearlings  in  training  at  the  present  time 
is  W.  H.  Colville's  Faustile,  by  Sidney,  2:19}.  This  filly,  at 
the  Jewett  covered  track,  near  Buffalo,  has  done  her  eighth 
in  19  seconds.  She  is  entered  in  several  valuable  slakes. — 
Bufialo  Enquirer.  

There  was  some  sensational  work  done  at  Buffalo  last  Fri- 
day. Robert  J.  paced  a  mile  in  2:11,  last  half  in  1:02.  Fan- 
tasy trotted  a  mile  in  2:14,  last  half  in  1:05  Nightingale 
trotted  a  mile  in  2:134,  last  half  in  1:04.  The  latter  mare  is 
said  to  be  better  than  ever  before. 


S.  C.  Tryon,  of  Sacramento,  left  Sacramento  last  week  for 
Montana  via  Portland,  taking  with  him  the  following  named 
trotters  and  pacers:  Hylas  Boy,  2:23;  Marchioness,  2:29  ; 
Maud  Patchen,  2:29| ;  Hanford  Medium,  2:19},  and  a  four- 
year-old  stallion  by  Bay  Rose,  2:20.V. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  San  Luis  Obispo  County  Agricultural 
Association  on  Tuesday  the  following  officers  were  elected  : 
President,  E.  W.  Steele;  vice-president,  J.  H.  Hollister; 
treasurer,  R.  E  Jack  ;  secretary,  M.  Egan.  The  date  for  the 
fair  was  fixed  for  September  24th  to  29th. 

The  four-year-old  pacing  record  is  liable  to  be  the  first  of 
the  world's  records  to  fall  this  year.  Diablo  holds  it  at  pres- 
ent at  2:09}.  Last  week  Online  paced  in  2:12£  at  Overland 
Park,  and  the  record  of  our  Californian  would"  appear  to  be 
in  danger  almost  any  time  Chandler  will  cut  him  loose. 

At  Independence,  June  20,  the  black  stallion  Moloch,  2:17, 
died  after  a  short  sickness.  He  was  sired  by  Stranger,  out  of 
Mystery,  by  Socrates ;  second  dam  Daisy  Barns,  2:29$  (dam 
of  Slander,  2:28£),  by  Skenandoah  926.  He  got  his  record  of 
2:17  at  Independence,  Ohio,  October  27,  1893.  His  value  was 
set  at  $20,000,  

The  new  pacing  mare  Pearl,  2:19},  will  be  sent  back  to  the 
Miller  ranch  near  Clemmons,  Colorado,  next  week  and  will 
be  jogged  along  throughout  the  summer.  Pearl  is  by  Pome- 
roy,  by  Revenue,  dam  Mid  Morgan,  by  Judge  Advocate,  by 
Messenger  Duroc  and  a  full  sister  to  Thornburg,  2:21}.  Pearl 
is  range  bred  and  was  never  worked  until  this  spring. — Field 
and  Farm.  

Online,  by  Sbadeland  Onward,  who  placed  the  record 
for  two-year-old  pacers  at  2:11  in  1892,  gives  promise  of 
creating  a  new  record  for  four-year-olds.  He  won  a  heat 
in  2:12J  at  Denver,  the  fastest  ever  made  by  one  of  his  age 
at  this  season  of  the  year,  and  he  has  only  2:09}  to  beat, 
which  is  the  mark  set  by  Diablo  last  season.  Online  is  a 
full  brother  to  Ontonian,  2:07£. 

Many  of  the  horses  that  were  at  the  Overland  Park  Track, 
Denver,  have  gone  to  Salt  Lake  for  a  meeting  this  week. 
Amung  these  are  the  California  trotter  Klamath,  the  pacing 
mare  Jingler,  Antrima,  Ed  Marsh,  General  Garfield,  Gray 
Ned  and  Glen  Arthur.  After  the  Salt  Lake  meeting  these 
horses  will  hit  the  Montana  circuit,  after  which  the  Califor- 
nia stables  will  return  to  the  Coast. 

Since  it  has  been  officially  announced  that  not  only  the  P. 
C.  T.  H.  B.  A.  will  hold  their  meeting  and  the  Golden  Gate 
Fair  Associationwill  hold  their  annual  meeting  also  at  the  Bay 
District  track,  owners  of  trotters  and  pacers  are  very  anxious 
to  get  on  that  splendid  course  with  their  horses.  Three  weeks 
of  continuous  racing  among  the  very  best  trotters  and  pacers 
on  the  Pacific  Coast  will  be  quite  a  novelty. 

Fern  Leaf,  by  Flaxtail,  the  great  broodmare,  has  had  an 
addition  to  her  list  of  fast  ones.  Her  colt  Sidmont  won  a 
pacing  race  at  Fostoria,  Ohio,  June  20th,  in  2:30,  2:25£  and 
2:30.  That  half  second  will  not  be  long  a  burden  to  him, 
and  the  standard  is  within  his  grasp.  Sidmont  is  a  brother 
to  Thistle,  2:13}  and  Gold  Leaf,  2:11}.  Ferndale,  2:20,  and 
Shamrock,  2:25,  were  also  out  of  this  old  broodmare. 

The  following  contains  the  very  essence  of  horse  philoso- 
phy: "Reins  may  guide  the  horse,  the  bit  may  inspire  him 
and  the  whip  may  urge  him  forward,  but  the  human  voice 
is  more  potent  than  all.  Its  assuring  tones  will  more  quickly 
dispel  fright ;  its  sharp,  clear,  electric  commands  will  more 
thoroughly  arouse  his  ambition,  and  its  gentle,  kindly  praises 
will  more  completely  encourage  the  intelligent  road  horse 
than  the  united  force  of  the  bit,  rein  and  lash.  No  animal 
in  domestic  use  more  readily  responds  to  the  power  of  kind- 
ness than  the  road  horse." 

Monroe  Salisbury  won  his  share  of  the  money  with  his 
tiue  horses  at  Denver,  Colo.,  last  week.  He  once  told  the 
writer  that  it  was  just  as  easy  to  raise  trotters  and  race  horses 
as  it  was  to  raise  good  potatoes,  but  in  trying  to  do  so  good 
seed  must  be  used  iu  both  cases  and  must  by  all  means  be 
planted  in  good  ground.  From  the  success  he  has  had  since 
we  are  fully  convinced  that  the  old  Stalwart  knew  what  he 
was  talking  about  and  in  the  future  we  shall,  as  we  have  in 
the  past,expect  to  chronicle  many  a  battle  won  by  the  horses 
of  his  raising. — Iowa  Turf. 

Expressive,  the  three-year-old  filly  by  Electioneer,  dam 
Esther,  by  Express,  lowered  her  record  to  2:21 }  in  the  third 
heat  of  her  last  race.and  was  the  contending  horse  in  the  other 
four  heats  of  the  race,  which  were  trotted  in  2:20},  2:20}, 
2:19}  and  2:22} .  Expressive  is  the  last  one  of  Electioneer's 
foals.  Her  grandam,  Capitola,  is  the  dam  of  King  Alfonso, 
winner  of  the  Kentucky  St.  Leger,  Tobacco  Stakes  and  Gait 
House  Stakes  at  Louisville,  Kentucky,  and  the  Linck's  Hotel 
Stake  at  Nashville,  Tennessee,  all  in  1875.  Expressive  is  full 
sister  to  the  bay  gelding  Express,  and  is  a  remarkably  hand- 
some and  speedy  individual. 


A  race  meeting  will  be  held  at  the  Coronado  race  track 
on  the  afternoon  of  July  4th.  The  events  as  announced  are 
as  follows:  One-half  mile  heat  race  for  $100;  three-eighths 
mile  regulation  weight  race  for  $75;  a  three-eighths  gentle- 
men's riders  race  (150  pounds)  for  $50;  and  a  three-eighths 
pony  race  (14.2  and  under)  for  $25. 

Azmon,  2:30,  that  took  this  record  at  Mineola,  Long  Island, 
June  30th,  is  by  Azmoor,  2:20£,  out  of  Ahwaga  (a  Palo  Alto 
broodmare),  by  General  Benton;  second  dam  Irene  (dam  of 
Ira,  2:24*  and  Stanford,  2:26$),  bv  Mohawk  Chief;  third  dam 
Laura  Keene,  by  Hambletonian  10,  etc.  He  is  four  years 
old  and  is  the  first  of  Ahwaga's  produce  to  be  trained. 

Almost  every  stable  boy  will  tell  you  how  to  prepare 
"condition  powders"  for  horses  in  the  spring,  and  the 
trouble  is  they  look  to  these  nostrums  to  keep  the  horse  in 
good  condition  instead  of  giving  him  the  regular,  intelligent 
care,  food  and  exercise  that  are  essential  and  better  than  any 
medicine.  The  best  of  all  condition  powders  in  the  early 
spring  is  a  run  on  grass.  A  good  alterative  compound  for 
horses  is:  Epsom  salts,  four  ounces;  nitrate  of  potash,  two 
ounces;  linseed-meal,  four  ounces.  Mix  and  give  a  table- 
spoonful  twice  a  day  in  soft  feed. 

A  run  on  pasture  is  to  the  wearied,  jaded,  ill-conditioned 
horse  one  of  the  greatest  blessings  that  can  be  well  imagined. 
No  manner  of  treatment  will  permanently  benefit  a  foot-sore 
horse  so  much  as  a  run  on  grass,  care  being  taken  to  trim  the 
foot  once  in  a  while  should  it  split  or  "grow  out"  crooked. 
To  derive  the  most  benefit  from  a  run  on  grass  the  shoes 
should  be  removed  from  even  sound-footed  horses,  as  the 
hoofs  soon  grow  and  render  the  shoes  too  small ;  in  fact  this 
takes  place  much  sooner  on  grass  than  when  the  horse  is 
working  on  hard  roads.  Not  only  is  the  foot  benefited  by  a 
period  of  rest  on  pasture,  but  we  find  that  many  other  cases 
of  lameness  besides  those  due  to  damaged  or  diseased  feet  re- 
cover when  thus  treated.  Rest  is  of  marvelous  benefit  to  all 
cases  where  lameness  is  present,  and  walking  about  on  pas- 
ture is  a  species  of  rest  that  works  wonders  in  many  cases. 
So  it  is  with  other  troubles  ;  a  run  on  pasture  will  help  the 
horse  thati^  recovering  from  lung  troubles,  that  is  troubled 
with  chronic  indigestion  or  skin  disorder,  etc.,  and  indeed 
usually  gives  the  best  chance  of  cure. 

One  of  the  best  trials  of  the  day  at  Fleetwood  was  trotted 
by  the  young  mare  Linda  Stanford,  a  double  granddaughter 
of  Electioneer,  says  the  New  York  Times  of  June  21st.  She 
is  a  green  one  in  Trainer  E.  E.  Phelp's  string,  and  is  owned 
by  J.  W.  Daly,  who  bought  her  at  one  of  Kellogg's  sales 
from  John  H.  Shults,  of  Parkville  Farm.  She  has  no  rec- 
ord. A  week  ago  the  mare  trotted  her  mile  in  2:21i,  and 
yesterday  she  had  so  improved  as  to  turn  the  track  in  2:18, 
making  a  straight,  strong  finish.  Phelps  also  drove  Kadi- 
jab,  the  four-year-old  daughter  of  Red  Wilkes,  a  neat  mile  in 
2:20,  which  is  nearly  ten  seconds  faster  than  she  has  ever 
trotted  in  public.  Belta.the  three-year-old  filly  that  trotted 
in  2:25  a  week  ago,  moved  a  half  yesterday  in  1:10$,  trotting 
the  last  quarter  at  a  2:18  gait.  She  is  improving  very  rapidly 
and  promises  soon  to  beat  2:20.  Another  promising  three- 
year-old  at  the  track  is  John  Daly's  bay  filly  Lucca,  by  Wil- 
liam L.,  the  sire  of  Axtell,  2:12.  She  trotted  a  mile  in  2:25k 
yesterday,  finishing  with  something  to  spare.  Daly  drove 
Little  Jimmie,  by  Middleton,  a  mile  in  2:22,  and  the  four- 
year-old  filly  Folly,  by  Stamboul,  in  2:25J. 

Lea,  the  chestnut  mare  by  Sidney,  out  of  Venus,  the  dam 
of  the  pacer  Adonis,  2:11},  will  be  the  Two  Minute  Stock 
Farm's  standard-bearer  in  The  Horseman's  $20,000  st^Ke, 
which  will  be  trotted  the  second  day  of  the  Blue  Ribbon 
meeting  at  Detroit.  As  a  two-year-old  Lea  wan  trained,  and 
promised  well.  In  1893  she  faced  the  starter  five  times,  win- 
ning a  purse  for  three-year-olds  at  Cleveland  in  straight 
heats,  time  2:27|,  2:29},  2:31|.  At  Roodhouse,  III.,  she 
trotted  a  good  second  to  Colonel  H.  in  2:25,  beating  Knoxie 
Walker  and  taking  third  money  in  the  race.  August  31,  she 
won  second  money  at  Decatur,  111.,  Colonel  H.  being  again 
the  winner  and  the  best  time  2:26.  Her  first  start  of  that 
season  was  at  Jerseyville,  111.,  where  she  was  distanced  the 
first  heat  of  her  race  in  2:27.  A  ugust  1,  at  Knoxville,  Iowa, 
she  was  second  to  Agatha,  having  behind  her  a  good  field. 
Her  performances  as  a  three-year-old,  therefore,  were  one 
win,  i  wo  seconds,  one  third  and  once  behind  the  money.  This 
season  an  extended  campaign  is  planned  for  her.  Writing  ol 
her  recently,  Mr.  White's  manager  says  :  "  I  will  say  that 
the  ninth  and  last  payment  will  be  made  on  or  before  July  1, 
and  we  will  certainly  start  her,  barring  accidents.  She  is  in 
training  at  the  half-mile  track  on  the  farm,  and  is  in  excel- 
lent condition.  S.  Dixon  is  the  trainer  who  handles  her.  She 
will  trot  in  the  2:27  stake  at  Tiffin,  to  be  trotted  during  their 
meeting  June  26  to  29,  and  from  there  she  will  go  to  Colum- 
bus, where  she  will  start  in  the  2:28  trot.  From  Columbus 
she  will  go  to  Detroit.  So  her  third  race  will  be  in  the  great 
stake." — Horseman.         

In  no  other  business  does  there  seem  to  be  so  much  uncer- 
tainty as  the  conditioning  of  trotters.  If  one  goes  to  a  race 
track  and  relies  upon  all  he  hears  from  trainers,  int  chances 
are  very  favorable  for  his  becoming  bewildered.  The  trainer 
of  a  certain  string  of  horses  will  say  in  answer  to  the  question  : 
"How  are  all  the  trotters  doing?"  "  Oh,  they're  no  good. 
Everyone  is  '  off.'  I'm  sorry  they're  entered ;  I  know  I'll 
get  the  flag."  Then  j^o  to  any  other  trainer  who  may  have 
his  horses  in  the  say^'-row  of  stalls,  and  in  the  course  of  con- 
versation you  will  levrn  that  everyone  of  the  other  trainer's 
horses  are  trotting  quarters  in  from  32  to  35  seconds,  and 
have  a  "lead  pipe  cinch"  on  everything  in  sight.  Then  another 
will  say  :  "  I  never  saw  such  a  lot  of  jealous  people  as  some 
of  these  trainers.  They  time  each  other's  horses  and  pass 
remarks  upon  the  methods  of  training  they  see  adopted,  and 
start  all  kinds  of  stories  in  circulation  in  the  hope  that  they 
will  influence  betting  when  the  races  take  place.  Their 
work  is  too  plain  to  be  misunderstood,  and  unless  they  derote 
more  time  to  getting  their  own  horses  ready  and  less  to 
watching  their  neighbors,  they  will  be  in  '  arrears '  when  the 
bell  rings."  There  are  some  owners  who  delight  in  telling 
people  who  know  better  that  the;r  horses  are  not  doing  well, 
and  like  to  have  the  idea  spread  through  turf  journals  that 
they  do  not  intend  to  race  this  year,  and  when  the  news  is 
sent  broadcast  over  the  land,  they  enter  the  horses  in  all  the 
stakes  and  races  they  are  eligible  for,  and  think  they  are  very 
cunning.  It  is  time  a  stop  was  put  to  these  methods,  and  the 
quicker  all  such  falsifying  about  the  trotters  and  pacers  by 
trainers  and  owners  is  stopped  the  better.  The  public  might 
be  duped  once  in  a  while,  but  they  will  not  be  all  the  time. 
Their  patronage  should  be  encourage14  by  honest  methods, 
not  driven  away  by  false  and  unscrupulous  ones.

THE  SADDLE. 


Domingo,  by  imp.  Darebin,  out  of  Gondole,  won  the  three- 
quarter  mile  race  at  Chicago,  June  26th.     Time,  1:17$. 

The  win  of  Key  el  Santa  Anita  would  indicate  that  the 
Cheviots  from  stoutly-bred  mares  like  a  distance  of  ground. 

Maxim  met  with  a  very  btd  accident  last  week.  He  got 
cast  in  his  stall  and  strained  his  back.  He  is  still  in  the  vet- 
erinarian's care. 


At  Bell  Aire,  Canada,  Two  Lips,  by  Darebin,  out  of  Kiss 
Me  Quick,  by  King  Earnest,  won  a,  five  furlong  race  June 
loth.     Time,  1:04$.  T 


Number  four  of  Vol.  1  of  Goodwin's  Official  Turf  Guide 
has  been  received  at  this  office,  and  is  for  sale.  Horse  own- 
ers cannot  do  without  a  copy  of  it. 

Lux,  W.  O'B.  Macdonough's  filly  by  Flambeau,  out  of  the 
dam  of  Cadmus,  ran  third  last  Tuesday  at  Sheepshead  Bay  to 
Sabilla,  a  Californian,  and  Aramia. 


Lamplighter  made  his  reappearance  after  a  long  absence 
last  Tuesday  at  Sheepshead  Bay,  and  the  famous  horse  won 
handily  from  Merry  Monarch,  Kingston  and  other  good  ones. 

To1'  Nimeos,  an  aged  black  gelding  that  ran  second  and 
third  last  winter  at  Bay  District  track,  was  burned  to  death 
in  a  barn  near  Areata,  Cal..  early  on  the  morning  of  the  23d. 

"  Denver  "  Hayes  sent  his  $50  prize  Vulcan,  to  Portland, 
Or.,  to  race,  and  it  will  take  a  pretty  speedy  hor-se  to  beat 
the  gray  fellow  about  five  furlongs  if  he  does  not  get  "  off" 
going  up  there. 

Sabilla,  by  Tyrant,  out  of  Stella,  by  imp.  Mortemer,  won 
a  five-furlong  race  at  Sheepsbead  Bay,  N.  Y.,  June  26th. 
Time,  1:052.  Avannia  second  and  Lux,  Win.  Macdonough's 
entry,  third. 

Sport  McAllister,  Zamloch  and  Lulu  B.  were  sent  to 
Portland  late  last  week  to  race.  If  the  trip  does  not  affect 
them  much,  the  trio  should  cut  a  pret'y  good  figure  iu  the 
races  at  the  Webfoot  metropolis. 

Ben  Kinney  has  notified  the  racing  association  that  he 
will  require  twenty-two  stalls  for  the  use  of  Marcus  Daly's 
Riverside  stables  at  Missoula,  Montana.  This  would  indicate 
an  influx  of  horses  greater  than  expected. 

Modeboso,  by  Sir  Modred,  out  of  Preciosa  (dam  of  Prize 
and  Uncle  Jess),  by  Glenelg,  captured  the  Lakeside  stakes 
for  two-year-old  fillies  at  Washington  Park  last  Tuesday.  It 
was  worth  $4,700  to  the  owner,  Green  B.  Morris. 

Burdett  Coutts  says  that  when  a  horse  reaches  the  height 
of  over  15.3  he  can  no  longer  be  called  a  hackney,  even 
though  he  is  of  the  most  approved  strain  of  that  blood.  He 
must  be  classed  as  a  coach-horse.  A  coach-horse  is  a  large 
carriage  horse. 

All  animals  when  taken  for  a  sea  voyage  become  tamer, 
and  even  the  wildest  seem  to  be  overcome  by  a  certain  feel- 
ing of  dependence  and  helplessness.  Horses  make  friends 
with  strange  attendants  more  quickly  daring  a  sea-voyage 
than  on  shore. 

George  Bayless,  trainer  of  the  Elmwood  Stock  Farm, 
had  $100  on  Key  el  Santa  Anita  at  20  to  1,  thus  winning  the 
comfortable  sum  of  $2,000.  He  made  his  bet  about  six  weeks 
before  the  Derby  was  run  on  a  letter  he  saw  from  a  young 
man  connected  with  the  Baldwin  stable. 


The  five  furlongs  track  record  was  broken  at  Narragansett 
Park  June  15  by  Oxford,  James  Shield's  chestnut  gelding, 
who  covered  the  distance  in  1:02.  The  match  race  between 
Snooks  and  Little  Fred  was  won  by  the  latter  in  1:20|. 
This  also  breaks  the  three-quarter-mile  pony  record. 

Cockade,  the  brown  gelding  that  won  a  five  and  a  furlong 
dash  at  Morris  Park  on  the  19th  inst.,  is  the  first  of  the  get 
of  Fresno  to  race,  and  was  bred  at  Rancho  del  Paso.  His 
dam  is  Rosette,  by  Joe  Hooker.  Fresno  was  a  grand  race 
horse,  and  is  by  Falsetto,  dam  Cachuca,  by  King  Alfonso. 


Last  Saturday  was  a  great  day  for  the  Californians.  Out- 
side of  the  win  of  the  American  Derby  by  a  Golden  Stater 
we  had  great  reason  to  rejoice.  The  Coon,  by  imp.  Darebin, 
won  the  Foam  Stakes  at  Sheepshead  Bay,  Armiiage  ran  the 
Futurity  course  in  1:10  and  Prig  was  third  in  the  same  race. 

The  Paris  Jockey  Club  has  finished  its  inquiries  into  the 
charges  of  fraud  in  connection  with  the  race  for  the  prize  of 
the  Jockey  Club  (French  Derby),  which  was  run  on  June  3, 
and  was  won  by  Michel  Ephrussi's  Gospodor.  The  club  failed 
to  establish  that  there  was  anything  wrong  iu  the  run- 
ning of  Gospodor.  

The  prejudice  against  Australian-bred  sires  and  dams  is 
dying  out  fast  in  America,  and  tlie  day  is  not  far  distant 
for  owners  of  choice  .bred  stock  to  be  seeking  the  blood 
of  the  famous  race  horses  of  the  Antipodes  as  an  outcross, 
with  as  much  eagerness  at  they  are  to  get  the  blood  of  the 
greatest  of  England's  sires  and  dams  now. 

Announcement  was  made  June  22d  that  the  New  York 
and  Brooklyn  Jockey  Clubs  will  give  an  extra  day  at  Morris 
Park  July  4th.  There  will  be  five  over-night  events,  with 
$2,000  added  in  each,  a  stake  for  three  year-olds  and  upward, 
with  $7,500  added,  and  one  for  three-year-olds,  with  $5,000 
added.     Brighton  Beach  and  Sheepshead  will  run  as  well. 

It  is  rumored  that  the  Duke  of  Devonshire's  horses  in 
training  and  all  his  yearlings  are  to  be  sold.  It  is  also  6aid 
to  be  highly  probable  that  the  stud  of  Baron  Hirsch  will  also 
be  dispersed  at  one  of  the  July  meetings,  and  that,  in  any 
case,  his  colors  are  not  likely  to  be  seen  after  the  present  sea- 
son. Reports  are,  moreover,  current  as  to  the  possible  early 
retirement  of  the  Duke  of  Portland  from  the  racing  world. 
His  Grace,  it  is  alleged,  has  of  late  lost  his  enthusiasm  in  turf 
matters.  

We  received  the  following  letter  from  George  W.  Cov- 
ington, dated  New  York,  June  22,  1894,  and  it  will  be  read 
with  pleasure  by  our  many  readers  who  koow  and  admire 
L"  Moose  "Taylor  :  "  Would  you  be  kind  enough  to  publish 
in  your  valuable  paper  that  H.  Taylor,  the  jockey,  who  is 
reported  dead  in  your  part  of  the  country,  is  in  the  best  of 
health  and  out  of  the  hospital,  and  will  be  able  to  ride  at  the 
fall  meeting.  He  got  a  compound  fracture  of  the  leg  at  the 
Brooklyn  meeting." 


Leigh  &  Rose  are  the  largest  winners  at  the  Latonia 
meeting,  Lazzarone's  Derby  and  Himyar  stakes  putting  their 
winnings  at  over  $11,000.  The  Avondale  stable  comes  next, 
with  $5,900;  Santa  Anita  stable,  $5,100;  Frank  Phillips, 
$4,300 ;  Bob  Holloway,  $4,090.  The  money  has  been  very 
evenly  divided,  ten  other  stables  winning  over  $2  000  each. 
A.  Clayton  heads  the  list  of  winning  jockeys,  with  twenty- 
six  mounts  to  his  credit.  Perkins  and  Graham  each  have 
fourteen,  and  Harry  Ray  eleven. 

Mariner,  Cheviot,  Sir  Modred,  Darebin  and  Trade  Wind 
are  Australian  sires  that  have  had  representatives  on  the  turf 
of  America,  and  they  have,  with  few  exceptions,  proven 
themselves  worthy  sires.  When  the  colts  and  fillies  by  Max- 
im, Suwarrow,  Merriwa,  The  Hook,  Chesterfield,  Loyalist, 
Plenty,  True  Briton,  CHeveden,  Calphurnus,  Idalium,  Tren- 
tola,  Crichton  and  other  sires  that  have  lately  come  to  Ameri- 
ca and  been  bred  to  some  of  our  best  mares,  appear  on  the 
turf,  there  will  be  a  great  demand  for  the  youngsters. 

"Ed."  McGarry,  "  Mike"  DwyeWs  trainer,  is  one  of  the 
best  in  the  business.  He  says  :  "  We  train  horses  for  big 
races  with  the  same  care  that  pugilists  prepare  for  a  fight. 
Every  day  is  a  turn  in  the  peg  that  tunes  the  horse  to  the 
top  notch.  On  the  day  of  the  race,  if  everything  goes  well, 
the  horse  is  in  the  best  popular  condition.  Another  day's 
hard  work  and  he  will  retrograde.  A  day  of  loafing  and 
nothing  will  bring  htm  out  in  condition  for  the  race.  Horses 
that  by  long  and  arduous  work  are  thus  prepared  for  one  big 
event  seldom  equal  that  form  again  during  that  season." 

It  having  now  been  placed  beyond  doubt  that  the  death  of 
General  Owen  Williams'  Pensioner  was  due  to  the  effects  of 
poison,  administered  to  the  horse  in  the  form  of  an  irritant 
oil,  a  feeling  has  arisen  among  the  influential  English  sports- 
men that  the  matter  should  be  investigated,  and  that  if  the 
horse  were  a  victim  of  foul  play,  every  effort  should  be  made 
to  bring  the  perpetrators  of  the  dastardly  outrage  to  justice. 
The  Sportsman  has  been  requested  to  receive  the  names  of 
the  gentlemen  prominently  connected  with  the  turf  with  a 
view  of  offering  a  reward  for  information  leading  to  a  convic- 
tion. 

The  only  Derby-winners  in  twenty  years  which  have  done 
really  well  as  four-year-olds  are  Bend  Or,  St.  Gatien,  Or- 
monde and  Ayrshire.  Melton  was  not  an  absolute  failure, 
for  he  did  manage  to  win  four  races,  but  he  had  no  chance 
with  Ormonde  when  they  met  at  Ascot  in  the  Hardwicke 
Stakes.  It  is  in  favor  of  Isinglass  training  on  that  he  is  a 
eon  of  Isonomy,  that  being  a  strain  which  usually  lasts  and 
develops  stamina.  There  has  never  yet  been  a  four-year-old 
son  of  St.  Simon  which  could  win  a  race  over  a  long  dis- 
tance, and  as  a  rule,  the  stock  of  the  Duke  of  Portland's  horse 
go  all  to  pieces  after  their  three-year-old  career,  notably  Me- 
moir and  Signorina,  to  say  nothing  of  La  Fleche. 

At  Latonia  and  St.  Louis  the  game  of  "ringing"  seems 
to  go  merrily  «^n,  notwithstanding  the  previous  prompt  de- 
tection and  punishment  of  the  Greenwood  and  other  parties. 
At  the  city  on  the  Mississippi  a  colt  purported  to  be  Gate- 
way, by  Getaway,  out  of  Minnie  B.,  was  made  the  medium 
of  a  great  plunge  which  drew  attention  to  the  outsider,  and 
a  veterinary  inspection  resulted  in  his  being  declared  a  year 
older  than  was  claimed  for  him.  At  Latonia  the  discovery 
of  a  painted  horse  created  a  profound  sensation,  the  stable  boys 
declaring  that  the  disguised  animal  was  none  other  than 
Frog  Dance,  the  fast  colt  that  Byron  Mc  Clelland  sold  last 
year.  However,  before  a  close  investigation  could  be  con- 
ducted the  horse  mysteriously  diappeared,  and  it  is  now  an- 
nounced that  this  painted  thoroughbred  and  the  St.  Louis 
Greenwood  are  one  and  the  same. 


Ladas,  the  winner  of  this  year's  Derby,  is  not  the  only 
horse  of  that  name  who  has  played  an  eventful  role  in  the 
career  of  Lord  Rosebery.  It  was  a  Ladas  which  led  to  his 
withdrawal  from  college  at  Oxford,  whithout  taking  his 
decree,  nearly  a  quarter  of  a  century  ago.  Dean  Liddel, 
who  was  the  head  of  Christ  Church  in  those  days,  fully  real- 
ized the  enormity  of  an  undergraduate  keeping  a  racehorse 
and  participating  in  the  principal  turf  events  of  the  day. 
Accordingly,  he  summoned  the  earl  and  told  him  that  he 
would  either  have  to  dispose  of  his  racing  stable  or  to  give 
up  college,  expecting,  of  course,  that  the  peer  would  dispense 
with  the  former.  Greatly  to  the  dean's  dismay  Lord  Rose- 
bery coolly  responded  that  if  he  had  to  choose  between  the 
two  he  would  certainly  take  the  racing  stable.  So  he  left 
Oxford,  to  all  intents  and  purposes,  in  disgrace. 

A  big  big  deal  in  thoroughbred  horseflesh  has  been  con- 
summated during  t>e  past  week.  Maxim,  the  famous  New 
Zealand  son  of  Musket  and  Realization,  became  cast  in  his 
stall  recently,  and  his  back  was  injured.  At  first  it  was  con- 
sidered ol  a  trivial  nature,  but  instead  of  being  on  the  mend 
the  $21,000  horse  has  been  gradually  getting  worse.  The  worst 
is  feared,  and  Tenny  has  been  leased  by  John  Mackey  of  David 
Tenny  Pulsifer  to  take  his  place  in  the  celebrated  stud  if  he 
should  pass  away,  and  if  Maxim  gets  well  the  famous  sway- 
back  rival  of  Salvator  will  be  mated  with  some  of  the  best 
mares  at  Rancho  del  Paso  anyhow.  The  great  Australian 
horse  CHeveden,  too,  has  beeo  sent  from  Santa  Anita  to 
Rancho  del  Paso,  and  it  would  not  surprise  us  if  the 
brother  to  Chester,  the  immortal,  would  pass  the  remainder 
of  his  days  eating  succulent  alfalfa  in  the  "bottoms  "  of  the 
American  river,  associated  with  such  celebrities  as  Salva- 
tor, Tenny,  Tyrant,   Kyrle    Daly,  Sir  Modred  and  Darebin. 

June  14th  Yo  Tambien  added  the  Brewers'  to  her  list  of 
stakes  won  in  1S94,  and  with  Maid  Marian  and  Prince  Carl 
will  no  doubt  earr.  money  enongh  to  enable  her  owner  to  pay 
off  the  mortgage  on  his  horses  when  the  time  comes.  Every- 
one would  be  glad  to  see  Chris  Smith  once  more  clear  of  the 
money  lenders'  toils,  and  if  his  two  mares  only  keep  on  there 
is  little  doubt  but  that  he  will  do  it.  Opposed  to  the  mare  in 
the  St.  Louis  event  were  Logan,  Linda,  Chiswell,  Chiswick 
and  Soundmore.  In  the  betting  as  good  as  3  to  5  could 
always  be  had  against  Yo  Tambien,  but  a  good  many  of  the 
wise  ones  took  Logan  at  3  to  1  straight  and  4  to  5  place. 
There  is  not  much  to  tell  about  the  race.  Linda  and  Logan 
made  the  running  alternately  with  the  chestnut  mare  lying 
third  till  the  stable  turn  was  reached,  when  Linda  fell  back, 
and  Yo  Tambien  moved  up.  Opposite  the  ring  she  caught 
Logan  and  won  quite  handily  by  half  a  length  in  1:54.  Chis- 
well, a  15  to  1  shot,  was  third  and  Soundmore  fourth.  The 
play  on  the  mare  straight  and  Logan  for  place  took  a  bit  of 
money  out  of  the  ring,  most  bettors  figuring  that  4  to  5  was 
liberal  udds  against  Logan  getting  the  place  and  playing 
accordingly.    The  distance  of  the  race  was  nine  furlongs. 


San  Jose  is  essentially  a  trotting  horse  town.  The  advent 
of  the  bangtails  was  not  pleasing  to  most  of  the  Garden  City 
trotting  horsemen,  and  the  people  did  not  seem  to  realize 
that  the  best  running  races  ever  given  in  that  part  of  the 
country  were  on.  It  would  take  considerable  time  and  more 
money  than  the  Breeders'  and  Horsemen's  Association  had 
on  hand  to  "educate  the  people  up"  to  patronizing  running 
races  there  as  they  should  be  patronized,  and  so  the  manage- 
ment thought  it  best  to  quit  about  $1,300  loser  instead  of 
$2,300,  for  verily  it  is  discouraging  to  spend  hundreds  of  dol- 
lars in  advertising  and  see  such  meager  returns  for  the  money . 

The  $38,000  King  Thomas,  brother  to  King  and  Ban  Fox, 
was  shipped  last  Saturday  from  Sacramento  to  Marcus  Daly's 
Bitter  Root  farm  in  Montana  Colts  by  King  Thomas  are 
looking  grand,  and  he  may  make  up  as  a  sire  what  he  lacked 
as  a  race  horse  and  prove  worth  the  sum  paid  for  him  as  a 
two  year-old,  after  all  the  largest  amount  ever  paid  in  Amer- 
ica. George  Van  Gordon,  the  San  Jose  turfman,  has  a  colt 
by  King  Thomas  from  Evalita  (Niagara's  dam)  that  he  would 
not  part  with  unless  offered  a  sum  running  up  into  the  thous- 
ands. Stranger  things  have  happened  than  the  giraffe-built 
failure  on  the  turf  proving  one  of  the  famous  sires  of  his 
generation.  At  Bitter  Root  farm  he  will  have  a  royal  chance 
to  demonstrate  his  work. 


"There  are  plenty  of  chances  to  fool  the  Clerk  of  the 
Scales,"  said  a  freckled -faced  valet  at  the  Bay  District  track 
one  mprnine  during  the  late  race  meeting.  "  You  see  if  the 
clerk  isn't  "  on  to"  all  the  games  it  is  very  easy  to  get  the 
best  of  him.  For  instance,  one  of  these  flv  jocks  who  steps  on 
the  scales  may  know  exactly  what  he  weighs,  and  he  figures 
up  what  his  pad,  saddle  girth,  stirrups  and  martingale  will  be. 
He  sees  he  is  over-weight,so  just  covers  his  saddle  girth,  and 
martingales  with  a  towel  and  does  not  have  his  stirrups  with 
him.  He  gets  off  the  scale,and  after  he  gets  back  to  the  pad- 
dock he  fixes  the  stirrups  on  and  when  he  comes  in,  if  be 
weighs  a  little  over  it  makes  no  difference.  Then  you  will 
see  another  jockey  stand  on  the  outer  edge  of  the  scales,  and 
if  he  can  get  the  point  of  his  saddle  under  the  top  of  the  scale 
and  lift  hard  he  can  add  a  pound  to  his  weight.  At  a  county 
race  I  saw  a  jockey  step  on  the  scale,  and  making  believe  to 
adjust  the  weights,  he  stuck  a  piece  of  chewing  gun  under- 
neath the  end  of  the  rod  which  held  the  weight.  This  made 
adifference  of  three  pounds  in  his  weight.  He  was  the  last 
one  weighed  out  and  the  first  one  to  weigh  in  after  the  race, 
so  he  left  the  chewing  gum  sticking  there  out  of  sight  until 
he  was  declared  O.  K.,  then  he  slipped  the  "  helper"  ofl  and 
went  over  to  see  if  his  friends  got  their  tickets  cashed.  But 
I  want  to  tell  you  this,  no  one  can  fool  this  young  English- 
man (Brougb).  He  knows  every  trick  the  boys  do  and  they 
are  afraid  of  him  and  therefore  do  not  dare  to  fool  him." 


The  Washington  Park  Club  is  now  a  member  of  the 
Western  Turf  Congress,  having  been  admitted  June  19,  at  a 
special  meeting  held  in  Cincinnati.  The  application  of  Haw- 
thorne for  membership  was  denied,  but  a  license  will  be 
issued  for  that  track  whenever  its  managers  choose  to  apply 
for  one.  A  license  was  granted  for  the  new  track  in  Chicago, 
and  when  the  application  for  membership  made  by  what  is 
familiarly  known  as  the  Oakley  Club,  of  Cincinnati,  came 
up  for  action,  a  long  and  bitter  discussion  prevailed.  It  was 
finally  decided  to  grant  the  club  a  license,  as  soon  as  their 
track  shall  be  ready  for  racing  to  be  carried  on  over  it. 
The  attention  of  the  congress  was  then  directed  to  the  re- 
quests made  by  owners  and  trainers  a  few  days  ago.  These 
requests  were  thit  an  official  handicapper  be  appointed;  that 
the  half  of  the  surplus  money  in  selling  races,  which  now 
goes  to  the  association,  be  added  to  other  selling  races,  and 
that  jockeys  be  allowed  to  weigh  in  without  their  bi  idles. 
The  first  two  were  laid  oyer,  but  the  last  was  granted;  but  no 
horse  will  be  allowed  to  wear  a  bridle  weighing  more  than 
three  pounds.  The  final  work  of  the  congress  was  to  adopt 
a  resolution  providing  that  after  December  next  each  mem- 
ber must  exclude  pooling,  booking,  and  wagering  of  all  kinds 
from  its  enclosure  and  from  premises  underits  control,  except 
on  races  over  its  own  course,  or  in  other  words,  to  abolish 
their  foreign  books.  Looking  at  the  work  of  the  congress, 
the  most  notable  feature  is  certainly  the  refusal  of  Haw- 
thorne's application  for  membership.  At  that  track  last  sea- 
son more  money  was  distributed  to  owners  of  winning  horses 
than  at  any  other  in  the  United  States,  and  more  than  twice 
the  amount  paid  out  on  any  of  the  congress  tracks.  The 
action  of  Washington  Park  and  Hawthorne  in  applying  for 
membershp  was  commended  by  all,  for  it  was  taken  in  the  in- 
terest of  owners,  and  the  refusal  by  the  congress  to  meet 
Hawthorne's  advances  was,  to  say  the  least  of  it,  short-sighted, 
and  may  lead  to  a  split  at  a  later  date. — Horseman. 

Tenny,  Salvator's  doughty  sway-backed  rival,  the  only 
horse  capable  of  making  the  son  of  Prince  Charlie  and  Salina 
extend  himself,  has  been  secured  by  Superintendent  John 
Mackey  for  Rancho  del  Paso,  and  will  pass  the  remainder  of 
his  life  on  the  greatest  stock  farm  on  earth.  Tenny's  worth 
on  the  turf  is  too  well  known  to  expatiate  on,  and  his  breed- 
ing is  royal.  His  sire  was  Rayon  d'Or,  a  Freneh-bred  horse 
that  won  the  St.  Leger  and  many  other  rich  stakes  in  Eng- 
land and  tracing  two  generations  away  on  the  dam's  side  to 
Pocahontas,  dam  of  the  great  celebrities  StockweP,  Rataplan, 
Knight  of  Kars  and  King  Tom.  Tenny's  dam  was  Belle  of 
Maywood,  by  Hunter's  Lexington  (sire  of  Belle  of  Nelson, 
Lilly  Langtry  and  Maud  Hampton,  latter  dam  of  King  and 
Ban  Fox).  Rancho  del  Paso  now  has  more  renowned  horses 
within  its  paddocks  and  stables  than  any  establishment  in  the 
world,  if,  indeed,  it  does  not  double  in  that  respect  any  breed- 
ing farm.  It  has  in  stallions  from  England,  Islington  (brother 
to  Isinglass),  Salvador,  Candlemas  (brother  to  St.  Blaise), 
Midlothian  (sire  of  Sir  Waller  and  others  of  note)  and  Pres- 
tonpans  (winner  of  the  Liverpool  cup  and  other  important 
stakes)  ;  from  New  Zealand,  Sir  Modred,  rightly  famous  as 
race  horse  and  sire,  and  Maxim,  probably  the  best  horse  of 
his  day  in  Australia  and  undoubtedly  a  coming  sire ;  from 
Victoria,  Darebin,  the  great  Cup  horse  and  excellent  getter 
of  good-looking  turf  performers.  Ireland  is  represented  by 
Kyrle  Daly,winner  of  the  Irish  Derby  and  sire  of  Kosciusko, 
Eclipse,  Candelabra,  Normaodie  and  other  good  ones.  The 
American  horses  are  Salvator,  Tenny,  Fresno,  Torso,  Ben 
Ali,  Alexander,  Joe  Daniels  aod  Tyrant,  and  with  one  ex- 
ception all  were  made  famous  by  their  turf  performances.  It 
is  no  exaggeration,  therefore,  to  say  that  Rancho  del  Paso 
leads  the  world.  Among  the  famous  matrons  on  the  place 
(there  are  over  200  broodmares)  might  be  mentioned  Firenzi, 
Miss  Woodford,  Glidelia,  Lizzie  Lucas  and  Vandalight  (all 
turf  queens  in  their  day),  Electra,  Precioso,  Caruna,  Carina. 
Ethel,  Sweetbriar,  Salinn,  Florida,  Plnvihing,  Nellie  Peyton. 
La  Scala,  La  Favorila,  (Tlorianne,  Faux  Pas,  Ailee  and  Abra.

California's  Fifth  Victory. 

Again  is  the  attention  of  all  horsemen  in  the  United 
States,  aye,  in  the  world  wherever  racing  is  known  (for 
the  news  has  become  universal),  been  attracted  to  Cali- 
fornia. The  victory  so  easily  won  by  Rey  el  Santa 
Anita  last  Saturday  in  the  Chicago  Derby  is  one  that  all 
Californians,  wherever  they  may  be,  can  take  pride.  The 
very  fact  that  such  a  thoroughbred  ridden  by  an  almost 
unknown  jockey,  should  win  that  great  event  over  such 
wonderful  performers  as  Senator  Grady,  Domino, 
Dorian,  Despot,  Cash  Day,  Lucky  Dog  and  others,  rid- 
den as  they  were  by  the  foremont  riders  of  the  day 
demonstrates  most  clearly  that  all  the  claims  heretofore 
made  about  the  California-bred  racehorses  have  not  been 
based  on  false  grounds. 

Five  times  has  this  great  stake  been  won  by  a  Califor- 
nia-bred colt,  and  E.  J.  Baldwin  has  had  his  Maltese 
cross  lead  the  choicest  favorites  a  merry  race  down  the 
homestretch  on  four  of  these  occasions. 

When  it  is  taken  into  consideration  the  class  of  horses 
the  California-bred  ones  have  vanquished,  besides  the 
size,  physical  development  and  speed  shown  by  all 
horses  that  have  first  seen  the  light  of  day  in  the  alfalfa 
fields  of  this  great  State,  is  it  any  wonder  that  inquiries 
are  being  made  for  stock  farms  here ;  and"  that  buyers 
from  all  parts  of  the  United  States  crowd  and  jostle 
each  other  whenever  a  sale  of  California-bred  thorough- 
breds are  brought  before  the  auctioneer?  Prices  are  paid 
for  this  stock  that  make  those  received  at  other  sal.  s, 
from  Kentucky  and  Tennessee  seem  insignificant. 

These  California-bred  colts  and  fillies,  strange  to  re- 
late, are  not  all  by  American-bred  sires  out  of  foreign- 
bred  mares.  The  influx  of  the  stout  blood  of  the  Aus- 
tralian sires  is  so  strong  that  its  merits  cannot  be  hid. 
The  value  of  such  sires  as  imp.  Cheviot  (sire  of  Rey  el 
Santa  Anita),  Sir  Modred,  Darebin,  Mariner  and  the  few 
others  from  the  land  of  great  racehorses  cannot  be  over- 
estimated. The  dawning  of  a  great  era  in  this  way  of 
breeding  is  apparent,  and  the  wisdom  and  forethought 
of  the  breeders  of  this  coast  who  have  patronized  or 
purchased  these  Australian-bred  horses  cannot  be  com- 
mended too  highly.  The  great  race  meetings  to  be  held 
here  will  attract  hundreds  of  the  leading  horsemen  of 
the  United  States  and  Canada  every  year,  and  they  will 
be  quick  to  see  and  anxious  to  purchase  the  best  per- 
formers on  our  turf  at  prices  far  above  those  received  at 
present.  The  animals  that  carry  a  large  infusion  of  this 
Australian  blood  will  not  be  considered  unworthy  of 
taking  to  the  East,  forjudging  by  the  racing  in  the  past 
two  months  on  the  Eastern  tracks,  sons  and  daughters 
of  these  Australian  sires  are  either  1,  2,  or  3  in  every 
event  they  start  in. 

California  has  long  been  noted  as  the  birthplace  of 
the  greatest  trotters,  hereafter  it  will  be  looked  upon  as 
the  nursery  where  stake  winners,  are  far  more  plentiful 
than  they  ever  were  in  the  blue  grass  region  of  Ken- 
tucky.   

The  Breeders'    and     Horsemen's    Association. 


tion's  principal  source  of  revenue  was  to  be  cut  off.  No 
doubt  Treasurer  and  Director  Schwartz  was  disgusted 
over  his  losses  in  the  book  he  had  on,  and  had 
he  had  time  to  deliberate  over  the  matter 
might  have  called  a  general  instead  of  only  a  directors' 
meeting  to  call  the  affair  off.  But  declaring  the  meeting 
off  seemed  the  proper  thing,  under  the  circumstances,  in 
view  of  the  fact  that  nothing  but  a  loss  of  every  dollar  in 
the  treasury  stared  the  directors  in  the  face.  Some 
horsemen  who  have  not  the  welfare  of  the  organization 
at  heart  in  the  least  may  contend  that  the  programme 
should  have  been  run  off  until  there  was  not  a  dollar 
left,  but  only  a  few  will  contend  this.  Every  dollar 
of  the  money  contributed  by  the  San  Jose  business  men 
has  been  returned,  and  every  bill  has  been  met,  so  far  as 
we  know.  The  only  thing  to  be  regretted  is  that  the 
horsemen  were  not  called  upon  to  vote  upon  the  declar- 
ing off  of  the  meeting.  If  the  required  twenty-five  mem- 
bers had  voted  upon  it  it  would  have  saved  many  a  harsh 
word,  aurl  the  directors  would  have  more  friends  than 
they  have  to-day,  in  all  probability,  especially  Mr 
Schwartz,  who  seems  to  be  coming  in  for  most  of  the 
censure,  he  being  the  one  first  suggesting  the  declaring 
off  of  the  races. 

This  week  the  horsemen  have  been  running  their 
horses  for  what  few  dollars  was  secured  from  the  pool 
and  bar  privileges  and  the  money  contributed  by  some 
of  the  saloon  and  restaurant  men  of  San  Jose.  No  ad- 
mission was  charged  (it  was  just  as  well),  and  the  dis- 
patches say  good  crowds  were  in  attendance. 

A  meeting  of  the  members  is  called  for  next  Tuesday 
night  at  8  o'clock  in  this  office,  to  determine  on  plans  for 
the  future  or  whether  the  organization  shall  be  disrupted 
and  the  money  left  in  the  treasury  paid  over  pro  rata  to 
the  members. 


There  is  considerable  dissension  in  the  ranks  of  the 
members  of  the  association  bearing  the  above  name. 
This  was  brought  about  by  the  action  of  the  Board  ef 
Directors  last  Saturday  night  at  San  Jose  in  declaring 
the  balance  of  the  meeting  oft'  on  account  of  lack  of 
patronage  and  the  heavy  losses  sustained  by  the  asso- 
ciation. While  it  seemed  the  only  thing  to  do  under 
the  circumstances  (declare  the  races  oft'),  in  the  opinion 
of  the  writer  it  would  have  been  much  better,  for  the 
sake  of  harmony,  to  have  done  this  at  general,  open 
meeting,  putting  the  question  to  a  vote  of  the  mem- 
bers in  good  standing.  No  doubt  many  horsemen 
were  virtually  left  stranded  in  the  Garden  City,  but 
would  they  not  have  been  in  the  same  predicament  one 
week  hence?  There  had  been  two  days  of  racing  and  a 
total  loss  of  over  $1,300.  On  the  first  day  the  gate  re- 
ceipts were  but  $100,  and  the  other  privileges  brought 
the  amount  received  by  the  association  up  to  about $460. 
The  San  Jose  folks  said  the  meeting  had  not  been  well 
advertised  as  yet  and  the  Republican  Convention  would 
draw  largely  from  the  attendance  the  following  week. 
They  had  better  postpone  a  week  and  advertise  exten- 
sively. This  was  done.  Result — gate  receipts  the  fol- 
lowing Saturday,  $110.  The  condition  of  the  fences 
and  extent  of  the  grounds  caused  the  employment  of  a 
large  number  of  men,  and  it  is  no  exaggeration  to  say 
that  the  salaries  of  the  gate  men,  deputy  sheriffs  and 
vaqueros  nearly  equalled  the  gate  receipts.  On  the  sec- 
ond day  every  bookmaker  lost  quite  heavily,  and  all  de- 
clared they  would  not  again  go  on  the  block  in  San 
Jose.  It  is  generally  a  good  sign  to  have  the  bookmakers 
heavy  losers,  butin  this  .case  it_meant  that  the  associa 


Death  of  Judge  James  Mee. 


Judge  James  Mee  died  at  his  residence  in  this  city 
last  Tuesday  morning  at  a  ripe  old  age,  and  will  be 
mourned  by  hundreds  upon  hundreds  of  friends  on  this 
coast.  He  made  considerable  reputation  and  a  large 
fortune  as  an  attorney  in  this  city  and  was  a  Dative  of 
Ireland,  but  came  to  California  in  "early  days,"  trying 
his  luck  at  the  mines  and  in  farming  until  1862,  being 
most  successful.  He  left  a  very  large  fortune,  one  of  his 
properties  being  the  Oakland  trotting  park,  recently 
leased  by  Thomas  H.  Williams  Jr.  for  a  term  of  nine 
years. 

For  many  years  Judge  Mee  has  owned  this  property, 
every  day  becoming  more  valuable,  and  has  been  inter- 
ested in  thoroughbreds  and  trotters  in  this  State  fur 
nearly  if  not  quite  thirty  years.  He  owned  Electra,  the 
dam  of  Hidalgo ;  Mayflower  (dam  of  Joe  Hooker) 
Lady  Jane,  Abi,  Norfall,  Chief  Crowley,  Tommy  (brother 
to  Ironclad),  Joe  Hooker,  Mariner,  Fashion  (dam  of 
Cricket),  by  Belmont,  Lady  Belle  (dam  of  Emma  Rob- 
son),  and  for  a  long  time  owned  Katy  Pease  after 
she  retired  from  the  turf,  of  which  she  was  queen.  These 
are  only  a  few  of  the  many  celebrities  either  bred  or 
owned  by  Judge  Mee,  who  is  well  and  -favorably  known 
to  the  older  school  of  turfmen  of  California.  A  more 
honorable  gentleman  than  the  deceased  jurist  one  could 
not  meet,  and  his  memory  will  be  revered  by  all  who 
ever  had  the  pleasure  of  his  acquaintance.

This  was  the  import  of  a  letter  received  from  Edward 
S.  Hawley,  Secretary  of  the  Buffalo  Association,  and  as 
a  number  of  horses  owned  in  this  State  are  entered 
in  these  events,  owners  will  please  act  at  once  in  regard 
to  these  payments. 


The  programme  of  the  Santa  Ana  Agricultural  Asso- 
ciation appears  in  our  advertising  columns.  It  will  be 
noticed  that  splendid  purses  are  offered,  and  as  the  en- 
tries will  close  August  1st,  all  who  contemplate  visiting 
the  laud  of  the  orange,  the  fig  tree  and  the  vine,  should 
not  neglect  this  great  meeting.  The  race  track  and  its 
appointments  cannot  be  excelled  in  California,  and  as 
this  meeting  precedes  the  great  Los  Angeles  Fair,  op- 
portunities will  be  presented  for  horsemen  to  make  good 


winnings.

Choose  a  Suitable  Name. 


"  A  horse  by  any  other  name  would  go  as  fast,"  does 
not  seem  to  please  the  breeders,  trainers  and  drivers  in 
1894  it  seems,  if  we  are  to  judge  by  the  summaries  of 
races  that  have  taken  place.  In  the  South,  it  is  a  natural 
weakness  among  the  colored  people  to  name  their 
children  after  illustrious  people,  and  it  is  no  uncom- 
mon thing  for  the  census  takers  to  hear  an  old  colored 
matron  give  the  surnames  of  the  children  as  follows: 
George  Washington,  Abraham  Lincoln,  Wendell  Phillips 
or  Henry  Ward  Beecher  ;  and  family  after  family  would 
include  among  the  members  curly-headed,  black-eyed, 
little  picaninnies  that  will  not  be  able  to  pronounce 
their  long  names  correctly  until  they  are  ten  years  of 
age.  The  glory  of  naming  a  child  after  an  illustrious 
individual  seemed  to  be  the  ambition  of  every  gentleman 
and  lady  of  color  in  the  land  of  cotton. 

The  same  ambition  seems  to  have  taken  a  firm  grip  upon 
the  majority  of  the  owners  of  young  trotters  and  pacers 
this  year.  It  is  not  only  bewildering  to  all  who  are  in- 
terested in  horses,  but  it  is  radically  wrong.  Arion's, 
Palo  Alto's,  Hulda's,  Nancy  Hanks',  Dexter's,  Dicta- 
tor's, and  other  well-known  famous  kings  and  queens  of 
the  turf,  are  very  plenty  this  year,  that  is  their  names 
appear  with  startling  regularity  in  the  summaries  of 
horses  that  are  eligible  to  the  2:50  classes. 

It  is  about  time  to  stop  this  system  of  naming  horses. 
Secretaries  should  insist  upon  not  taking  any  entries  of 
horses  that  are  stolen  from  others  which  have  worked 
hard  to  make  those  names  famous. 

When  anyone  makes  an  entry  like  "  Minnie,"  for 
instance,the  secretary  should, as  soon  the  entry  is  opened, 
write  at  once  to  the  owner  and  tell  him  that  there  are  in 
the  Year  Book  thirty-three  other  claimants  to  that  name 
and  therefore  she  is  not  entitled  to  it.  Add  the  name 
Murphy,  Simpkins,  O'Donoghue,  Smith,  or  any  other, 
so  that  it  will  be  distinguishable  from  the  other 
Minnies.  Nancy  Hanks  or  Nell  Flaherty  are  becoming 
very  nice  sounding  names  when  their  owner3  are  makiDg 
them  famed  either  in    trotting  or   running  races. 

If  breeders  would  only  use  a  little  judgment  and 
care  in  naming  their  colts  and  fillies  much  trouble 
would  be  avoided.  In  Australia  there  was  a  horse  named 
Musket  ;  his  colts  are  named  after  pieces  of  ordnance  : 
Howitzer,  Nordenfeldt,  Carbine,  Mitrailleuse,  Martini- 
Henry,  etc.,  and  this  system  of  nomenclature  is  notice- 
able all  through  the  English  stud  books.  We  may  be 
able  to  breed,  raise  and  train  trotters  far  better  than 
those  "across  the  pond,"  but  we  are  far  behind  them  in 
the  art  of  naming  our  best  horses.  If  all  the  turf 
journals  will  make  as  vigorous  a  fight  against  this 
growing  evil  as  they  did  against  the  initializing  of  fast 
trotters  and  pacers,  it  will  only  take  a  few  months  to 
bring  the  trotting  horse  men  to  realize  that  "  a  horse  by 
some  other  name  than  the  one  they  have  stolen  would 
go  as  fast.  

Two  "Weeks'  Trotting  Races. 

The  announcement  made  in  the  last  issue  of  the 
Breeder  and  Sportsman  that  the  Pacific  Coast  Trot- 
ting Horse  Breeders'  Association  will  holds  its  summer 
meeting  at  the  Bay  District  track,  has  bepn  the  subject  of 
much  discussion  among  horsemen.  When  the  track,  its 
fine  appointments  and  proximity  to  the  center  of  the 
city  is  taken  into  consideration,  no  better  selection  uould 
be  made. 

The  Golden  Gate  Fair  Association,  at  its  last  meeting, 
decided  to  hold  their  meeting  (which  follows  that  of  the 
P.  C.  T.  H.  B.  Association)  also  at  the  Bay  District  track, 
thus  saving  the  horsemen  the  expense  of  an  extra  ship- 
ment of  their  horses,  sulkies  and  paraphernalia.  By  lib- 
eral advertising  and  offering  attractive  programmes  a 
good  attendance  is  assured.  The  track  is  now  undergo. 
ing  a  thorough  scraping,  rolling  and  harrowing,  and  will 
be  like  a  new  course  when  the  opening  clay  of  the  two 
weeks'  races  begins. 


The  Midwinter  Fair  Equestrian  Festival  opened 
Thursday  and  like  most  of  the  other  special  features  of 
the  fair  that  have  been  given  under  the  direction  of  the 
management  was  a  disappointment.  When  first  pro- 
posed, it  was  intended  to  make  it  a  grand  entertainment, 
including  a  horse  show,  polo  games,  exhibition  of  eques- 
trianism, races,  Spanish  fiesta  with  bull  fighting,  a  re- 
vival of  mediaeval  tournaments,  etc.  On  account  of  a 
poorly-drawn  set  of  rules  regarding  entries  and  the  re- 
quirement of  an  entrance  fee  out  of  proportion  to  the 
prizes  offered,  the  entries  for  the  horse  show  failed  to  fill 
sufficiently  well  to  go  ahead  with  that  part  of  it.  The 
active  opposition  of  the  Society  for  the  Prevention  of 
Cruelty  to  Animals,and  the  threat  that  they  would  arrest 
all  the  participants  will  probably  prevent  the  bull  fight- 
ing. The  polo  tournament  might  have  been  arranged, 
and,  no  doubt,  would  have  been  the  chief  attraction  of 
the  festival, but  the  management  of  the  fair  refused  to  go 
to  the  necessary  expense  of  giving  this  part  of  the  enter- 
tainment. The  cavalry  evolutions  and  the  grand  page- 
ant were  the  principal  features  of  the  afternoon,  and, 
barring  a  few  accidents,  were  interesting.  The  costumes 
and  uniforms  presented  a  gorgeous  appearance;  the 
robes  of  the  ladies  and  gentlemen  of  the  various  courts 
represented  were  especially  rich. 


When  every  practical  horseman  carefully  studies 
the  engraving  and  reads  the  description  of  the  McKerron- 
Clawson  brake  for  bicycle  sulkies,  they  will  order  sets 
for  their  bikes  as  quickly  as  the  following-named  have  : 
Monroe  Salisbury,  Orrin  A.  Hickok,  Andrew  McDowell, 
Edward  Lafferty,  James  Nolan,  Millard  Sanders,  E.  H. 
Sanders  and  Wm.  Murray,  and  these  are  the  first  ones 
who  had  ever  seen  a  sample  of  them.  The  value  of  such 
a  life-protecting,  sulky-saving,  and  necessary  appliance 
needs  no  fulsome  praise  from  anyone  who  tau  appreciate 
such  an  invention  in  this  age  of  extreme  speed. 


The  programme  of  the  California  State  Fair  appears 
in  this  issue  for  the  first  time.  Horsemen  should  read  it 
carefully.

The  Poetical  Turf  "Writer. 


We've  been  to  California  and  seen  the  golden  shore, 
We've  come  back  fully  satisfied  and  don't  want  any  more. 
We've  learned  this  far-lamec  country  is  not  all  sunshine  and  flowers, 
And  in  many,  many  things  is  not  half  as  good  as  ours. 

In  isolated  spots  it's  a  paradise  on  earth. 

The  flowers  bloom,  the  orange  growB,  and  all's  happiness  and  mirth  ; 
But  in  the  State  are  many  spots  where  old  earth  has  had  the  shakes. 
And  the  land's  so  poor,  the  hills  so  steep,  you  couldn't  raise  good 
snakes.  — Western  Resources. 

The  above  has  been  well  circulated  throughout  the  EaBt 
and  West  by  turf  journals,  for  it  made  its  "debut"  in  one  of 
them.  The  writer  must  have  never  come  further  north 
than  T^hachapi  and  is  judging  California  by  the  place  he  was 
dropped  from  a  brake  beam.  The  earth  may  have  had  the 
"  shakes"  as  bad  as  in  the  East,  but  as  the  "poet"  found  that 
the  land  was  so  poor  and  the  hills  so  steep  good  snakes 
could  not  be  raised,  we  are  sorry  he  did  uot  get  enough  whisk- 
ey on  hisjourney  to  see  even  poor  ones. 

Poetical  license  may  be  a  good  thing,  almost  as  good  as  a 
liquor  license,  but  when  a  turf  correspondent  has  nr  more  eye 
for  the  beautiful  th«in  to  wish  to  never  see  any  more  of  Cali- 
fornia, the  people  here  accept  his  apology  for  coming  and  re- 
joice at  his  departure.  We  admit  it  is  a  poor  country  for  such 
tramps.  Ask  any  of  the  members  of  Kelly's  Industrial  army 
if  this  is  not  a  fact.  For  supporting  such  scum  this  one  must 
be  telling  the  truth  when  he  admits,  regretfully,  "and  in 
many,  many  things  is  not  half  as  good  as  ours  ! " 

But  leaving  aside  all  reference  to  flowers,  oranges,  happi- 
ness, mirth,  sunshine,  paradise  aod  the  golden  shore,  would 
not  this  turf  correspondent  have  done  much  better  for  the 
readers  of  the  journal  which  he  represented,  if  he  had  spoken 
fairly  and  impartially  of  the  great  resources  of  this  State(and 
even  the  part  he  was  heavily  dropped  in)  for  the  raising 
and  developing  of  fast  trotters,  pacers  and  thoroughbreds? 
That  was  his  mission,  and,  if  he  so  far  forgot  himself  as  to 
become  "  poetical"  and  allowed  his  pen  to  run  riot  about  the 
things  he  saw  and  many  more  that  he  did  not  see,  then  he  is 
to  be  pitied  and  his  services  as  a  turf  correspondent  should 
be  dispensed  with  at  once,  for  he  has  sadly  missed  his  calling. 

Some  Fast  Flyers  at  Missoula,  Montana. 


Bright  and  early  this  morning,  before  breakfast,  and  as 
the  little  birdB  were  wiping  the  dew  from  their  silky  brows, 
a  party  of  gentlemen,  consisting  of  James  Conley  and  Wil- 
liam Harris  of  Deer  Lodge,  and  W.  S.  Settle,  Lou  L.  Hunt, 
Col.  S.  G.  Ramsey,  Frank  G.  Higgins,  George  C.  Higgins, 
Joseph  K.  Wood,  Frank  Martin,  A.  R.  Holbert  and  James 
Corbett,  of  this  city,  repaired  to  the  race  track  west  of  town, 
to  be  present  at  the  regular  weekly  trying  out  of  the  trotters 
and  runners  at  present  under  training,  and  to  form  some 
idea,  if  possible,  how  to  place  their  money  during  the  ap- 
proaching race  meeting. 

Arriving  at  the  track,  the  party  was  taken  in  hand  by  the 
little  army  of  trainers,  drivers  and  assistants,  and  escorted 
through  the  stables,  introduced  to  the  various  horses  and 
made  acquainted  with  the  every-day  routine  of  a  thorough- 
bred track  horse  and  his  attendants.  These  preliminary  de- 
tails having  been  accomplished  to  the  satisfaction  of  all  con- 
cerned, the  distinguished  visitors  were  escorted  to  cushioned 
seats  in  the  elegant  grand  stand,  where  they  were  subse- 
quently joined  by  the  horse  reporter  of  the  Missoulian,  and 
devoted  the  following  two  hours  to  the  delightful  occupation 
of  watchiog  a  number  of  the  swiftest  trotters  and  runners  fly- 
ing around  the  oval  track  in  competition  with  that  exacting 
foe,  "  Time."  Patsy  Rice,  the  famous  trainer  and  jockey, 
attached  to  Senator  Hoffman's  stable,  put  the  speedy  Vollula 
through  a  mile,  without  a  skip  or  break,  in  2:183,  and  shortly 
after  exhibited  a  promising  pair  of  St.  Thomas'  colts. 

Jimmy  Carrigan,  reputed  to  be  one  of  the  best  conditioners 
that  ever  crossed  a  paddock  or  kicked  at  judge  or  timers, 
and  who  is  running  a  little  stable  of  his  own  this  year,  trotted 
out  Dr.  Puff,  the  two-year-old  colt  of  Tyler  Thompson's,  and 
sent  him  around  the  course  at  a  clip  that  fairly  startled  the 
natives.  Carrigan  also  exercised  Messrs.  Keith  and  McLeod's 
beautiful  mare,  Mattie  Heath,  and  Dr.  Mill's  pair  of  flyers, 
Northlight  and  Hackett. 

Charles  Jeffries,  who  is  handling  the  Higgins  Bros.'  string 
this  season,  sent  K.  D.  F.  a  mile  in  2:26  as  a  sort  of  feeler, 


and  warmed  up  Rena  N.,  Meda  West  and  others  of  his 
string. 

Considerable  interest  was  taken  in  the  McTague  stable  of 
runners,  nearly  all  the  horses  being  worked  out  this  morning. 
Thib  stable  consists  of  twelve  horses,  all  ages,  and  capable  of 
making  it  very  interesting  at  their  respective  distances.  The 
stable  is  under  the  direction  of  Bush  Smith,  and  the  excellent 
condition  of  the  horses  at  the  present  time  is  a  decided 
tribute  to  the  capabilities  of  that  gentleman  in  his  chosen 
vocation.  Mr.  Smith  sent  the  following  horses  to  the  post, 
and  put  them  through  a  course  of  fast  and  heavy  work : 
Panama,  Pat,  Chinook,  Emma  Mack,  Caprivi  and  Gold  Bar. 

In  addition  to  the  horses  above  mentioned,  there  are  a 
number  of  other  promising  animals  at  the  track,  among  them 
being  a  Jim  Miller  colt  belonging  to  Chris  Van  Strall,  and  a 
rather  large,  rangy  animal  belonging  to  J.  A.  Shaughnessy, 
the  well  known  boniface.  This  latter  animal  has  no  record 
that  anyone  knows  anything  about,  but  is  supposed  to  be  the 
long  lost  sister  to  Maud  S.,  and  a  stepdaughter,  by  adoption, 
of  W.  B.  McDonough's  great  English  stallionj  Ormonde. 
She  is  an  old-time  track  horse,  having  skirted  along  the  road 
bed  of  the  Northern  Pacific  for  several  years  past.  Mr. 
Shaughnessy  has  undertaken  to  personally  prepare  his  horse 
for  the  coming  meeting.and  is  con^dent  that  he  will  land  her 
in  the  front  place  at  every  provocation.  The  gentleman  is 
well  equipped  for  the  racing  season,  having  recently  supplied 
himself  with  a  new-fangled  racingsulky,  fitted  out  with  rheu- 
matic tires  and  cigarette  spokes. 

The  track  and  grounds  are  in  their  customary  excellent 
condition,  and  all  details  looking  to  a  successful  racing  sea- 
son are  receiving  the  earnest  attention  of  those  having  the 
affair  in  charge. 

A  meeting  of  the  Missoula  Racing  Association  has  been 
called  for  this  evening,  at  room  19,  First  National  bank 
building,  and  it  is  desired  that  there  should  be  a  prompt  and 
full  attendance,  as  many  matters  of  vital  importance  to  those 
interested  in  the  sport  are  down  on  the  secretary's  book  for 
discussion. 


Programme    for    the    Fall     Races    in    Orange 
County.

tion is  having  printed  its  list  of  races  and  entry  blanks  for  the 
fall  meeting,  October  9  to  13  inclusive,  being  the  week  pre- 
vious to  the  Los  Angeles  Fair.  Entries  for  these  races  will 
close  August  1st,  which  will  give  the  directors  plenty  of  time 
to  arrange  for  special  or  drawing  features  if  they  do  not  fill 
satisfactorily.  Following  is  the  list  as  published,  with  the 
purses:

17,  two-year-olds,  three-eighths  mile  dash,  $300;  No.  18, 
three-quarter  mile  and  repeat,  $300;  No.  19,  one  and  one-six- 
teenth mile  dash,  $300 ;  No.  20,  one  and  one-quarter  mile

eighths  mile  dash,  $50  ;  open  only  to  saddle  horses  owned  in 
Orange  county  since  May  15,  1894,  and  not  entered  in  any  of 
the  foregoing  races  ;  catch  weights,  stallions  barred. 


On  Tuesday  Dr.  R.  T.  Whittlesey,  of  Los  Angeles,  Presi- 
dent of  the  State  Veterinary  Medical  Board,  arrived  at 
Bakersfield  to  examine  a  horse  belonging  to  Frank  Carillo 
which  Dr.  Lemke  had  pronounced  afflicted  with  glanders. 
Dr.  Whittlesey  concurred  with  Dr.  Lemke,  and  thereupon 
Constable  Yancy  was  ordered  to  kill  the  animal.  There  has 
been  considerable  dispute  about  this  case  and  in  the  meantime 
the  animal  had  been  at  the  race  track,  where  there  are  other 
valuable  horses,  and  it  is  possible  tbat  the  contagion  will

this  is  a  disease  which  must  be  stamped  out. — California^.

THE   FARM. 


The    "Way    of    Turkeys. 

Few  have  known  the  anxieties  and  delights  of  raising 
turkeys.  I  should  like  to  tell  them  some  of  my  experiences. 
In  April  your  turkey  hens  will  not  stay  together,  as  they  have 
done  all  the  winter,  but  each  seems  to  have  a  separate  secret, 
and  you  will  often  meet  one  in  the  most  unexpected  places, 
far  away  from  the  house.  Then  the  deceitful  old  turkey  hen 
will  try  to  look  so  unconscious!  She  just  goes  on  plucking 
at  the  grass  and  weeds,  slowly  turning  first  one  way  and  then 
another  in  an  aimless  fashion,  and  when  she  is  sure  you  are 
watching  her  she  will  lead  you  back  and  forth,  around  and 
around,  sometimes  for  half  a  mile.  Yet — would  you  believe 
it? — right  here,  near  by,  along  the  fence  in  a  clump  of  grass, 
or  under  some  dried  brush,  or  perhaps  in  the  middle  of  the 
pear  orchard,  with  never  a  thing  to  mark  the  spot,  or  in  a 
tangle  of  blackberry  bushes  in  the  old  graveyard,  on  the 
coo!,  moist  earth,  is  a  nest  of  speckled  eggs!  But  take  care! 
Do  not  put  your  hand  in  the  nest!  You  must  take  those  eggs 
out  with  a  fresh,  clean  spoon — turkeys  are  "  mighty 
particular,"  as  the  colored  people  say;  but  if  you  don't  take 
'em  the  crows  or  the  setter  dog  will.  You  must  leave  her  a 
"nest  egg,"  of  course,  and  above  all  things  the  hen  must  not 
see  you  do  this,  for  you  and  she  are  playing  at  hide  and  seek. 

Some  day  you  will  find  her  sitting  on  the  nest,  crouched 
down  close  to  the  ground,  with  a  scared  look  in  her  pretty 
brown  eyes.  Don't  say  a  word  ;  trip  noiselessly  away,  and 
late  that  evening  give  her  back  those  speckled  eggs,  slipping 
them  under  her  with  your  hand.  She  will  pluck  you,  but  do 
not  mind  that ;  you  and  she  will  be  friends  some  day. 

Once  I  made  a  turkey  sit  in  a  henhouse  where  there  was 
many  a  rat  hole.  She  had  been  on  the  eggs  four  weeks  when 
little  turkey  voices  were  heard  beneath  her,  and  little  turkey 
heads  peeped  out  from  among  her  breast  feaLhers.  When  I 
took  her  up  by  both  wings  such  plucking  and  picking  and 
scratching  as  she  did  !  I  looked  and  behold  !  not  a  turkey 
chick  was  there.  The  little  things  just  out  of  -he  shell,  obey- 
ing the  wild  instinct  of  their  nature,  had  "scooted  "  in  the 
twinkling  of  an  eye,  leaving  a  nest  of  empty  shells.  I  hunted 
all  over  the  henhouse,  but  no  sight  or  sound  of  them  could 
be  heard,  but,  as  I  turned  away,  I  heard  the  old  hen  calling 
softly  ;  then  more  softly  still,  came  the  answers,  and  from  rat 
holes,  from  wisps  of  scattered  straw,  from  "hips,  from  cracks 
and  from  corners,  the  little  ones  came  creeping  back  to  the 
nest  I  caught  them,  though,  after  all,  and  did  as  an  old 
woman  told  me.  With  my  finger  nail  I  scratched  off  the 
little  "pip  "  at  the  end  of  each  tiny  bill,  and  holding  the 
little  turkey  tirmly  and  placing  a  finger  in  the  bill  to  keep  it 
open  I  crammed  the  little  pip — which  looks  like  a  piece  of 
meal  husk — and  a  whole  grain  of  black  pepper  down  each 
throat.     The  black  pepper  makes  them  warm. 

Then  the  young  turkeys  are  treated  to  a  dab  of  salt,  grease 
and  snuff;  mixed  together  in  a  brown  paste,  first  on  the  top 
of  each  head,  and  then  under  each  little  throat.  Their  food 
is  now  to  be  wet  corn  meal  and  chopped  garlic  or  onion  tops, 
with  an  occasional  seasoning  of  black  pepper  on  damp  days. 
How  those  little  turkeys  like  onion  tops!  They  actually 
squeal  with  delight  when  they  smell  them.  What  tussling 
when  two  or  three  are  hanging  on  to  the  same  piece  !  What 
funny  little  things  they  are! — so  weak  in  their  legs,  so  easily 
upset,  yet  so  strong  in  their  bills.  You  can  lift  a  little  turkey 
off  the  ground  with  an  onion  top,  if  he  once  gets  a  firm  hold.

'  l,r: 


Value  of  Skimmilk  For  Pigs. 

For  young  pigs  the  feeder  can  find  nothing  equal  to  skim- 
milk. It  gives  them  a  start  that  nothing  else  can.  For  such, 
feed  three  pounds  of  skimmilk  to  one  of  corn  meal.  Accord- 
ing to  W.  A.  Henry,  of  the  Wisconsin  Agricultural  Station, 
a  mixture  of  half  corn  meal  and  half  shorts  is  perhaps  more 
satisfactory  from  a  practical  standpoint,  though  not  theoreti- 
cally. I  think  shorts  are  less  harsh  in  the  young  pig's  stom- 
ach. Certainly  pigs  fed  shorts  and  milk  do  wonderfully 
well,  while  theoretically  corn  meal  is  the  complement  of  the 
milk.  As  the  pigs  grow  older,  unless  there  is  milk  in  abund- 
ance, reduce  thelproportion  of  milk  gradually. 

One  pound  of  milk  to  each  pound  of  grain  with  fattening 
hogs  makes  the  grain  wonderfully  effective,  and  even  a  half 
pound  of  milk  to  one  of  grain  will  show  good  results.  Under 
favorable  conditions  where  there  are  no  serious  losses  or  acci- 
dents, and  everything  goes  right,  one  can  easily  get  twenty 
cents  a  hundred  out  of  his  skimmilk  after  a  reasonable  allow- 
ance for  cost  of  all  the  grain,  with  hogs  at  four  and  one-half 
cent  live  weight.  But  it  is  not  fair  to  allow  the  skimmilk  all 
of  its  value  in  such  cases.  A  part  of  the  value  comes  from 
combining  it  with  the  corn  or  other  feeds,  and  these  should 
be  credited  somewhat  above  their  market  value  when  UBed  in 
combination.  Again,  losses  are  almost  sure  to  occur  in  hand- 
ling stock,  and  ail  the  theoretical  value  of  the  feed  cannot  be 
allowed  in  purchasing  it.  Fifteen  cents  per  hundred  is 
therefore,  I  think,  as  much  as  one  dare  allow  for  separator 
skimmilk.  Skimmilk  from  deep  setting  as  ordinarily  con- 
ducted leave*  more  fat  in  the  milk,  and  homemade  skimmilk 
is  often  far  superior  to  that  of  the  creamery  for  pig-feeding. 
Too  many  creameries  allow  their  skimmilk  tank  to  be  germ- 
breeders,  and  all  sorts  of  ferments  grow  there.  Then,  too, 
often  the  washings  of  the  factory  are  sent  up  into  the  tank, 
and  this  further  reduces  the  value  of  the  milk  through  dilu- 
tion. I  know  of  creameries  where  I  should  consider  ten  cents 
per  hundred  a  high  value  for  the  skimmilk,  owing  to  dilution 
and  the  filthy  condition  of  the  tank. 

Sows  Eating  Pigs. 

A  sow  in  perfect  health  will  never  eat  her  pigs.  Constipa- 
tion or  indigestion  is  the  direct  cause,  being  caused  by  im- 
proper feeding.  No  harm  will  be  done  the  swine  in  giving 
them  the  run  of  the  feed  lot  with  the  other  stock,  horses  and 
ttlle.  Give  them  a  corn  ration  with  an  occasional  feed  of 
iran  and  ship  stuff  If  it  is  where  they  can  get  it  they  will 
occasionally  chew  on  fodder  and  corn  stalks.  Three  or  four 
weeks  run  in  the  clover  field  farrowing  will  bring  them 
through  all  right.     It  is   not   unusual   for  a  sow  to  eat  a  pig 


thtt  has  been  crushed  or  born  dead,  and  we  are  not  alarmed 
to  see  them  do  it,  but  prefer  to  have  their  systems  in  such  a 
state  of  perfect  health  that  they  will  have  no  relish  for  this 
kind  of  food.  If  sows  have  the  run  of  pasture  or  wood  lands 
while  in  farrow  they  will  seldom  if  ever  develop  this  habit. 
This  farmer  who  is  compelled  to  keep  his  sows  in  a  dry  lot 
must  make  an  effort  to  bring  about  the  same  conditions  that 
the  sow  has  while  on  pasture,  must  put  before  her  food  that 
will  produce  the  same  results. 

The  serious  objection  to  the  small  or  dry  lot  rests  in  the 
inability  to  securelan  abundance  of  exercise,  which  is  a  prime 
factor  in  the  production  of  healthy  embryo.  With  a  dry  lot 
and  sufficient  corn  to  keep  the  sow  contented  almost  certain 
disaster  will  follow  at  farrowing  time.  But  with  a  ration  of 
wheat,  or  if  wheat  is  not  fed  use  bran  and  ship  stuff,  along 
with  cellar  and  kitchen  refuse  or  waste,  such  as  potatoes,  ap- 
ples, pumpkins,  etc.,  we  would  have  no  fear  that  the  sow 
would  destroy  her  pigs,  especially  if  she  can  have  the  run  of 
the  feeding  lots,  and  take  exercise  by  gathering  the  wastes 
An  occasional  blade  of  fodder,  a  clover  burr,  leaf  or  stem  all 
help  in  keeping  the  system  in  condition.  Wood  ashes  and 
salt  are  necessary  adjuncts  iu  securing  health.  The  sow  needs 
the  properties  found  in  the  ashes  to  aid  in  building  up  the 
bone  formation  of  her  young.  If  wood  ashes  cannot  be  had, 
a  small  amount  of  ground  bone  in  the  feed  will  answer  the 
same  purpose.  But  when  the  food  given  is  rich  in  muscle 
and  bone-forming  properties,  the  farmer  need  not  be  particu- 
lar to  add  these  things  from  other  sources.  However,  no 
better  aid  can  be  given  the  system  to  get  rid  of  unhealthy 
tendencies  than  a  box  of  wood  ashes  constantly  in  reach. 


Practical  Care  of  Young  Chicks. 


The  most  difficult  and  one  of  the  least  carefully  considered 
branches  of  poultry-keeping  is  the  care  of  the  young  chick- 
ens during  the  first  two  or  three  weeks.  It  is  a  common  ex- 
perience to  lose  from  one-fourth  to  one-half  of  the  hatch  dur- 
ing that  time ;  yet,  under  the  right  conditions,  it  is  possible  to 
raise  every  chick,  with  many  of  the  broods.  In  the  first 
place,  the  hen  is  often  badly  set  and  placed  in  a  poor  location* 
She  should  be  started  in  a  quiet  place  away  from  other 
setting  hens.  When  one  hen  hatches  her  brood  the  others 
nearby  are  likely  to  become  excited  and  neglect  their  own 
duties.  The  nest  should  not  be  so  small  that  the  newly- 
hatched  chicks  are  liable  to  be  crushed  ;  it  should  be  roomy 
with  sides  so  high  that  none  of  the  chicks  can  escape  to  the 
ground  and  be  chilled,  and  so  that  the  hen  need  not  jump 
among  the  brood  in  returning  to  her  nest,  but  with  room 
enough  for  her  to  alight  at  one  side.  While  the  chicks  are 
breaking  shell  it  is  a  good  plan  to  keep  all  quiet  by  covering 
nest  and  hen  with  a  large  cloth.  If  two  broods  hatching  at 
the  same  time  are  given  to  one  hen,  they  should  be  put 
together  sometime  during  the  first  three  days,  or  the  hSn  may 
object. 

if  the  hen  has  been  set  in  a  coop  by  herself  under  cover, 
it  is  far  better  to  allow  the  brood  to  remain  there,  the  first 
two  weeks  at  least.  Nothing  works  better  to  confine  both  set- 
ters and  broods  than  a  coop  five  feet  square  with  sides  of  fine 
meshed  wire  netting  eighteen  inches  high  and  a  top  of  wide 
netting  with  coarser  mesh.  A  bushel  box,  the  top  covered 
with  tarred  paper,  should  be  placed  at  one  end  for  a  nest. 
But  as  said  before,  both  coop  and  chick  should  be  kept  in- 
doors during  the  first  few  weeks.  Put  them  in  the  barn  loft, 
or  some  such  place,  if  it  is  dry  and  freefrom  rats. 

The  danger  of  putting  chicks  out  too  early  lies  in  the 
dampness  of  the  ground  and  grass  at  morning  and  evening, 
which  is  very  likely  to  cause  the  death  of  some  of  the  brood. 
With  the  roomy  coops  above  described  chicks  will  seldom 
be  killed  by  being  stepped  upon  by  the  old  hen.  If  a  hen 
proves  very  cross  and  fussy,  the  chicks  should  be  given  to  a 
mother  of  calmer  disposition.  Chicks  are  often  enfeebled  by 
lice  which  they  get  from  the  old  hen.  Before  hatching,  the 
hen  should  be  well  dusted  close  to  the  skin  with  insect  pow- 
der, and,  if  troubled  with  scale,  her  legs  should  be  dipped 
once  or  twice  in  kerosene. 

A  good  deal  of  nonsense  has  been  written  about  feeding 
young  chicks.  They  will  do  very  well  without  being  given 
chopped  eggs,  bread  crumbs,  or  prepared  foods.  Nothing  at 
all  should  be  given  until  all  the  chicks  have  been  hatched. 
Then  they  will  thrive  freely  on  sweet  fresh  Indian  meal 
dough.  Never  allow  meal  or  dough  to  become  sour.  Do 
not  feed  dry  meal,  as  some  of  the  chicks  may  get  choked  to 
death. 

One  very  important  and  often  neglected  point  is  this:  give 
the  young  chicks  plenty  of  grit  to  grind  their  food.  Fine 
gravelly  sand  is  the  best  for  this  purpose.  When  chicks  are 
cooped  on  grass  land  and  moved  from  place  to  place  they 
should  be  fed  giitty  sand  every  day  or  two.  Good,  sharp 
grit  -vill  almost  entirely  prevent  loss  from  indigestion. 
While  they  are  indoors  a  piece  of  sod  should  be  given  every 
few  days.  Keep  the  water  supply  in  a  dish  about  two  inches 
high  at  first.     Fresh  skim-milk  is  good  for  chicks. 

For  the  sake  of  variety  they  may  be  given  a  few  feeds  of 
gluten  meal,  shorts  and  fine  cracked  wneat,  and  a  little  ani- 
mal meal  or  fine  scraps.  Never  feed  cracked  corn  until  they 
are  at  least  half  grown.  To  sum  up,  it  would  seem  that  the 
chief  causes  of  ill  success  with  young  chicks  are:  poor  nests 
and  coops,  unsuitable  food,  lack  of  good  grit  for  grinding, 
too  much  moisture  underfoot,  and,  in  general,  a  lack  of 
thoughtful  care. 

Salt  for  Animals. 


Salt  is  necessary  for  all  vegetarian  animals,  and  aids  to  the 
digestion  of  the  food.  The  belief  that  it  is  a  preventative  of 
intestinal  worms  is  well  founded,  for  these  parasites  are 
found  mostly  in  animals  of  imperfect  digestion.  The  undi- 
gested food  encourages  these  pests,  as  they  feed  upon  it,  or 
upon  the  copious  mucus  secreted  in  the  bowels  of  animals 
suffering  from  indigestion.  Salt  should  be  given  regularly 
with  every  feed,  if  cut  food  is  used,  otherwise  in  the  form  of 
a  lump  of  rock  salt  kept  in  the  manger,  where  it  may  always 
be  reached. 

Ducklings  thrive  best  on  soft  food.  One  part  corn  meal, 
one  part  bran  and  a  small  proportion  of  animal  meal,  mixed 
with  cooked  potatoes  or  turnips,  make  an  excellent  mess  for 
them.  The  drinking  vessel  must  always  contain  plenty  of 
water,  so  that  the  bills  may  be  cleaned  by  the  ducklings,  as 
they  are  liable  to  die  if  their  nostrils  are  clogged.  They  also 
require  water  to  assist  in  swallowing  their  food,  but  should 
not  be  allowed  on  ponds  until  well  feathered. 


General  Agricultural  Notes. 

This  is  what  the  American  Cultivator  says  as  to  the  num- 
ber of  hens  to  a  cockerel :  "It  is  still  a  disputed  question 
how  many  hens  should  be  allowed  to  one  male  bird  if  eggs 
are  wanted  for  hatching.  Our  own  judgment  is  that  we  would 
not  place  less  than  fifteen  or  more  than  twenty-five  hens  with 
a  vigorous  male  of  the  layer  breeds,  and  not  less  than  forty 
or  more  than  sixty  of  the  Leghorns  or  others  of  the  so-called 
Mediterranean  class.  But  we  should  try  to  be  sure  that  the 
male  was  a  good  one,  vigorous,  and  in  good  health."  The 
Farmers'  Voice  would  not  allow  so  many  as  the  larger  numbers 
mentioned.    It  is  too  many. 

If  a  field  is  covered  with  weeds  turn  on  the  sheep.  It  is  bet 
ter  to  convert  the  weeds  into  mutton  than  to  have  them  go  to 
seed  and  stock  the  land  with  weeds  next  season.  Sheep  eat 
the  weeds  down  close  to  the  ground,  and  they  will  come  back 
again  for  thenewer  growth  if  any  appears.  Ragweed,purslance, 
crab  grass,  pigweed,  and  all  young  weeds  that  are  just  starting 
will  be  consumed  by  them. 

Now  that  tuberculosis  is  found  in  so  many  herds  of  cattle 
all  over  the  country,  it  will  not  do  to  wait  until  the  farm  is 
visitedby  the  officials.  It  is  important  that  each  dairyman 
have  his  stock  examined,  and  report  the  fact  if  disease  exists, 
as  not  only  the  health  of  the  members  of  the  family  may  be 
endangered,  but  also  that  of  the  consumers  who  buy  milk,  and 
they  are  entitled  to  consideration. 

There  is  no  knowing  the  cost  of  a  crop  except  by  keeping 
an  account  with  it.  Farming  is  a  business,  and  the  farmer 
must  do  as  other  business  men — keep  books.  Unless  he  does 
so  he  will  be  unable  to  estimate  concerning  his  crops  or  know 
whether  he  has  made  a  profit.  Every  article  consumed  on 
the  farm  should  also  be  charged  as  so  much  sold  at  home. 

The  best  nests  are  made  out  of  soap  boxes  or  cases  in  which 
canned  fruit  comes,  if  the  smaller  breed  of  hens  are  kept.  A 
hole  can  be  cut  in  one  side  large  enough  for  the  hen  to  go  in 
at,  and  litter  placed  in  the  bottom  for  the  nest.  These  can  be 
moved  easily,  and  it  is  but  little  trouble,  too. 

Artichokes  For  Stock. 


In  stock  farming  theartichokes  should  be  made  a  specialty. 
It  is  a  crop  that  reproduces  itself  year  after  year,  is  wonder- 
fully prolific  and  is  one  of  the  best  fattening  roots  ever  grown. 
They  are  more  especially  a  hog  food,  as  the  hogs  are  bene- 
fitted by  the  exercise  of  rooting  for  the  tubers  as  well  as  by 
the  nutritive  quality  of  the  plant,  but  they  are  also  good  for 
the  dairy  cow  when  boiled  and  fed  in  a  bran  mash.  An  In- 
diana farmer  says :  "I  have  been  growing  and  feeding  arti- 
chokes three  years  and  find  them  a  very  profitable  crop  for 
stock  feeding.  They  611  all  the  requirements  of  a  crop  for 
dry  weather.  Last  summer  when  everything  was  damaged 
by  the  drouth  my  artichokes  continued  bright  and  green  until 
frost  fell.  I  grew  them  chiefly  for  my  hogs,  which  I  turn 
in  to  forage  and  root  up  the  tubers  after  the  frost  has  killed 
the  stalk.  One  acre  will  fatten  forty  head  of  hogs  with  only 
a  little  corn  to  finish,  and  during  the  winter  the  brood  sows 
and  fall  pigs  can  work  on  them.  Then  toward  spring  close 
up  the  fence  and  there  are  tubers  enough  left  in  the  ground 
to  produce  the  next  year's  crop  without  any  more  planting  or 
cultivating.  I  always  leave  one  lot  in  the  ground  just  as 
they  grew  (as  freezing  does  not  injure  them), to  turn  my  hogs 
in  for  spring  market.  I  have  not  had  a  sick  hog.since  I  fed 
this  way.  The  variety  I  cultivate  i>  the  White  Jerusalem. 
They  will  yield  from  100  to  1,000  bushels  per  acre.  Cattle, 
spring  calves  and  colts  eat  them  with  a  relish  during  the 
winter.  They  are  planted  and  cultivated  lite  potatoes  the 
first  year.  They  are  very  large  tubers,  resembling  in  color 
and  taste  the  heart  of  cabbage." 


Begin   Right   "With   the    Calf. 

The  plan  of  allowing  the  calf  to  suck  at  all  is  of  doubtful 
expediency.  Tie  it  at  the  cow's  head  so  that  it  cannot  suck 
at  all,  and  feed  instead.  If  it  has  never  sucked  its  dam  it 
will  learn  to  drink  very  quickly.  It  will  be  less  trouble  to 
handle  both  the  cow  and  calf  by  this  method  than  if  you  at- 
tempt to  take  it  away  after  two  or  three  or  more  days. — 
Farmer's  Review. 

While  the  above  is  the  best  way  when  it  can  be  practiced 
it  is  not  every  cow  that  will  allow  the  calf  to  be  tied  when  it 
is  so  young,  and  especially  "  near  her  head."  Most  good 
milkers  are  very  nervous,  and  with  these  it  is  perhaps  best  to 
take  the  calf  out  of  its  mother's  sight  before  it  has  6iicked. 
and  after  milking  the  cow  take  the  milk  directly  to  the  calf  and 
let  it  drink  it.  If  the  calf  will  not  drink  out  of  a  bucket  give 
it  some  milk  with  a  bottle,  or  better  still,  a  long  funnel, 
around  the  small  end  of  which  is  fastened  a  piece  of  cloth  in 
the  form  of  a  muzzle.  Get  it  to  drink  this  way  several  days 
and  it  will  not  then  be  hard  to  make  it  drink  from  the 
bucket.  In  this  way  the  bad  practice  of  making  the  cow 
nervous  and  angry  is  avoided.  She  will  not  miss  the  calf 
after  three  or  four  days. 

A  lady  of  Paris,  Tex  ,  has  made  a  discovery  that  ought  to 
be  of  great  benefit  to  the  world.  For  the  last  year  or  two  it 
has  been  with  the  greatest  difficulty  that  chickens  could  be 
raised  on  account  of  mites  The  lady  hail  been  annoyed  a 
great  deal,  and  experimented  in  many  ways  as  to  the  best 
means  of  getting  rid  of  them.  She  finally  tried  a  decoction  »f 
tansy,  and  to  ber  delight  found  that  it  not  only  destroyed 
mites,  but  fleas  and  other  vermin.  Many  have  tried  the 
remedy  with  unvarying  success.  ITis  inexpensive  and  ab- 
solutely harmless.

Farmers  should  give  more  attention  to  the  quality  of 
fowls  they  ship  to  market.  The  tons  of  inferior  poultry  that 
arrive  in  market  show  that  there  is  often  good  grounds  for 
the  disappointment  of  the  farmer,  as  he  sends  off  the  most 
inferior  poultry  .expecting  it  to  bring  the  prices  quoted, when, 
in  fact,  such  poultry  is  very  difficult  to  dispose  of  at  an* 
price,  and  often  can  only  be  sold  at  the  cost  of  the  freight. 

For  cholera  in  chickens  mix  one  (ablespoonful  of  sulphur- 
ous acid  with  one  quart  of  meal  for  every  twenty  chickens. 
Make  the  dough  crumby. 

There  is  more  profit  in  raising  geese  than  chickens,  and 
it  is  surprising  that  progressive  farmers  do  not  go  in  for  them 
more.

THE  KENNEL. 


DOINGS  IN  DOGDOM. 

Joseph  McLatchie  has  issue  a  neat  stud  card  of  his  fox 
terrier  dog  Blemton  Reefer. 

The  imported  Irish  setter  Youog  Signal  was  instantly 
killed  by  an  electric  car  on  June  4th. 

The  International  Field  Trial  Club's  Derby  brought  out 
twenty-one  entries.  Nine  pointers,  nine  English  setters  and 
three  pointers.  

Queutock  Ford,  the  dam  of  J.  W.  Mitchell's  fox  terrier 
dog  Ford  Veni,  was  once  owned  by  a  prominent  member  of 
the  Salvation  Army  who  paid  $300  for  her. 


In  the  last  issue  of  the  Fox  Terrier  Chronicle  a  corre- 
spondent stated  that  D'Orsay  had  not  been  beaten  by  Vice 
Regal,  this  is  an  error.  D'Orsay  was  beaten  by  Vice  Regal 
at  Birmingham  last  year  under  J.  C.  Tinne. 


The  Philadelphia  Kennel  Club's  Derby  brought  out  thirty- 
eight  entries,  of  which  seven  were  pointers  and  the  balance 
English  setters,  but  in  spite  of  this  fact  the  club  have  aban- 
doned the  trials  on  the  grounds  of  lack  of  funds. 


We  had  the  pleasure  of  seeing  Mr.  E.  Nicholas  Klepperis 
litter  of  St.  Bernards  this  week,  by  Lord  Hualpa  (.Alton — 
Keepsake) — Lola  (California  Alton — Tomah).  They  are 
very  beautifully  marked,  strong  and  healty,  and  Lola  has 
proved  herself  a  good  brood  bitch  by  raising  the  whole  litter 
of  twelve,  eleven  dogs. 

We  often  hear  of  prolific  breeders,  but  the  following  re- 
ceived of  the  St.  Bernard  bitch  Abigail,  the  property  of  Mr. 
Simpson,  of  Morpeth,  about  breaks  the  record.  On  April 
28,  1891,  she  gave  birth  to  sixteen  puppies,  on  November  4, 
1893,  to  twelve  puppies,  and  April  25,  1894,  to  nineteen 
(seventeen  dogs  and  t^o  bitches).  St.  Bernards  ought  to  be 
plentiful  in  Morpeth  district,  anyhow. — British  Fancier. 


The  New  England  Kennel  Club  is  thinking  of  installing  a 
permanent  secretary  in  their  club  rooms  on  Tremont  street, 
Boston,  whose  duties  will  consist  in  aflbrding  general  infor- 
mation regarding  dogs,  pedigrees,  etc.,  in  fact  make  the 
office  a  sort  of  bureau  of  information  for  members  and  local 
dog  owners.  This  we  should  think  would  be  a  very  good 
move.  Mr.  Loveland  will  probably  be  the  choice,  and  a 
meeting  is  shortly  to  be  held  at  which  the  matter  will  be 
decided.  

A  brace  of  greyhounds  slipped  at  a  hare,  near  Newmarket, 
England,  and  were  racing  her  along  the  side  of  a  fence,  when 
between  them  and  the  hare  a  rough-legged  buzzard  dashed 
out  of  the  fence.  This  took  the  greyhounds  so  aback  that, 
losing  sight  of  their  hare,  they  dashed  at  the  buzzard,  and 
one  dog,  seizing  it  by  a  wing,  broke  it.  The  bird,  however, 
showed  fight,  and  punished  its  captor  severely  with  beak  and 
talons  till  the  keeper  came  up  and  knocked  it  on  the  head. 
The  buzzard  was  a  fine  male  in  splendid  plumage,  and  meas- 
ured 5ft.  6  in.  across  the  wings. 

The  following  note  appeared  in  the  last  issue  o«~  the  Vic- 
toria Journal.  And  still  the  English  talk  about  Yankee  fibs: 
\V.  B.  Sylvester's  Boston  Terrier,  Nellie,  has  whelped  a  litter 
of  five  healthy  pups.  Though  not  two  weeks  old,  they  get 
greatly  excited  at  the  word  "  rats."  They  are  sired  by  Jas. 
Harvey's  Mose,  a  dog  that  is  known  for  his  grit  from  Califor- 
nir  to  Alaska.  Mr.  Harvey  always  carries  with  him  a  stout 
strap! with  a  ring  on  one  end.  On  entering  a  house  he  lets  the 
dog  take  a  good  grip  of  the  other  end,  and  slips  the  ring  over 
the  nearest  nail,  and  the  dog  will  hang  there  for  hours  at  a 
time.  

E.  EL  Caddy  writes  the  Canadian  Kennel  Gazette  that  the 
St.  Bernard  Scotch  Bonivard  ie,  according  to  his  photograph, 
either  cowhocked  or  wrong  behind.  We  have  not  seen  the 
dog  for  three  years,  but  when  the  property  of  the  late  Chas. 
G.  Wheelock,  we  knew  him  well.  At  that  time  he  was  very 
strong  behind,  and  in  the  three  years  that  we  saw  him  almost 
daily,  he  did  not  show  the  slightest  sign  that  he  ever  would 
go  wrong.  He  certainly  showed  no  sign  of  it  when  he  was 
placed  second  to  Hesper  at  Boston,  neither  did  he  while  in 
the  possession  of  Dr.  Walton  before  Wm.  Wheelock  owned 
him.  

The  finest  litter  of  collie  puppies  that  we  have  seen  on  the 
coast  can  be  seen  at  the  Golden  West  Hotel.  See  advertise- 
ment. They  are  by  Lea  Rig  (Robbie  Burns — Blinkbonny 
II),  out  of  Bess  H.  (Champion  Christopher — Flurry  III). 
Bess  H.  is  one  of  the  best  bitches  we  have  seen  in  the  West, 
and  the  breeding  cannot  be  excelled  on  earth.  Mr.  Herr- 
mann also  has  another  litter  that  are  above  the  ordinary  by 
Hero  (Clifton  .Hero — Wildfire),  out  of  Fannie  of  Nes- 
seldowo,  by  Wellsbourne  Charlie — Adila  Wonder.  Adila 
Wonder  is  by  Champion  Metchley  Wonder — Cora  Bell,  she 
by  Champion  Rutland.  We  earnestly  recommend  these 
puppies  to  the  notice  of  all  collie  men.  Why  send  East  for 
puppies  not  half  as  well  bred  when  you  can  purchase  strong, 
healthy,  well-marked  puppies  of  unrivalled  breeding  right 
here  on  the  roast.  -       

Valuable  Doge. 


The  British  Government,  according  to  the  New  York 
Tribune,  has  decided  to  remit  the  customary  tax  on  certain 
dogs  employed  upon  the  south  coast  of  Devon.  These  ani- 
mals perform  the  work  of  swimming  out  to  sea  and  catching 
hold  of  the  rope  thrown  from  the  fishermen's  boats.  They 
bring  the  line  ashore,  and  thus  enable  the  people  who  are 
waiting  on  the  beach  to  pull  the  boat  through  the  surf.  The 
work  is  very  risky,  and  the  shore  is  so  rocky  that  the  fisher- 
men would  be  utterly  unable  to  get  their  boats  in  without  the 
aid  of  the  dogs,  which  are  trained  for  the  purpose.  Everybody 
is  ready  to  acknowledge  with  profound  admiration,  the  in- 
telligence, the  faithfulness  and  the  zeal  of  the  collie;  but 
these  Devonshire  dogs  certainly  run  the  shepherd's  servant 
and  friend  very  close.  To  place  such  hard-working  and  use- 
ful members  of  the  community  on  a  par  for  fiscal  purposes 
with  the  toy  terrier,  the  poodle  or  the  pug  would  be  both  a 
blunder  and  a  crime. 


The  Dams  of  English  Setters. 

The  dams  being  more  numerous  than  the  sires,  we  cannot 
do  justice  to  all  in  this  article.  We  consider  that  Gladstone, 
Druid-Ruby  and  Count  Noble,  asjarule,  furnish  the  blood  of 
the  winning  dams.  Gladstone's  daughters  are  superior  to  his 
sons  in  producing  winners.  It  can  be  truly  said,  his  daugh- 
ters are  the  mothers  in  Israel  of  field  trial  winners,  the  great 
majority  having  passed  to  the  happy  hunting  grounds.  Few 
dams  breed  on  unless  rich  in  blood.  He  was  the  sire  of  Peep 
o'  Day,  the  dam  of  Carrie  J.  and  Gath,  the  latter  the  sire  of 
Gath's  Hope  and  Gath's  Mark,  who  have  a  double  cross  of 
Gladstone  in  them,  through  their  dam  Gem,  Gath's  Hope 
siring  Bessie  Shoupe,  who  gets  another  cross  of  Gladstone 
through  her  dam.  He  was  the  sire  of  Twin  Maude,  the  dam 
of  Roderigo,  that  breeds  on  with  another  infusion  of  Glad- 
stone blood,  through  his  daughter,  Bo-Peep,  the  dam  of  Or- 
lando, Antonio,  etc.  He  was  the  sire  of  Lillian,  the  dam  of 
Toledo  Blade,  Joey  B.,  etc.,  the  best  bitch  I  ever  saw,  though 
the  public,  judging  by  her  public  performances,  may  not 
think  so.  He  was  the  sire  of  Gladstone's  Girl,  the  dam  of 
Rod's  Sue  and  Dot  Rogers.  The  sire  of  Fate  Gladstone,  the 
dam  of  Paxtang  and  also  of  Bo-Peep.  the  dam  of  Rowdy 
Rod,  etc.,  and  of  Florence  Gladstone,  the  dam  of  White  B. 
and  Rod's  Whim.  He  is  the  sire  of  many  other  producing 
dams.  The  Gladstone  blood  is  the  most  potent  of  any  to  breed 
on  through  the  dam.  Few  winners  are  now  without  his  blood, 
and  each  year  we  find  them  gelling  less. 

Count  Noble's  sons,  on  the  other  hand,  are  superior  to  his 
daughters,  and  furnish  more  winning  sires  than  dams 
that  breed  on.  Count  is  the  sire  of  Bohemian  Girl, 
the  dam  of  Paul  Bo  ;  he  is  the  sire  of  Katie 
Noble  and  some  other  producing  dams.  I  slated  in  my  arti- 
cle on  sires,  Count  Gladstone  IV,  Eugene  T.,  De  Soto  and 
others  bred  as  they,  could  be  relied  on  to  breed  on  when  ju- 
diciously used — Gath  and  Roderigo  furnishing  the  object  les- 
son— they  being  almost  the  same  blood  as  Gath  and  Roderi- 
go. The  Druid-Ruby  blood  ranking  next  to  Gladstone  in 
producing  winning  dams  that  breed  on. 

We  find  also  that  bitches  of  this  blood  are  superior  to  the 
dogs.  This  blood,  unless  crossed  with  the  Gladstone  blood, 
is  not  so  prolific  in  winning  sires  or  dams,  confirming  what  I 
havestated,  that  the  Gladstone  blood  mixes  well  with  almost 
any  other  blood. 

The  Druid-Ruby  blood  furnished  Sue,  the  dam  of  Glad- 
stone's Boy,  the  sire  of  Lora,  Vanguard,  etc.;  Vanguard  is 
the  sire  of  Maiden  Mine,  Gleam's  Pink,  Gleam's  Sport,  who 
ought  to  breed  on,  if  properly  mated.  They  are  the  third 
generation  and  winners. 

This  blood  furnished  Juno  A.,  the  dam  of  Rowdy  Rod  and 
Nannie-  S.,  also  Lavalettte,  the  dam  of  Paul  Gladstone.  It 
furnished  Lotta,  the  dam  of  Ollie  S.(  the  latter  bearing  a 
double  cross  of  it  through  Paul  Gladstone.  Combined  with 
the  Gladstone's  blood,  it  produced  Gem,  Lillian,  Florence 
Gladstons,  Fate  Gladstone,  Gladstone  Girl  and  other  produc- 
ing dams.  It  will  be  seen  the  Druid-Ruby  blood  is  a  very 
important  factor  in  breeding,  when  you  want  level  heads  and 
game  finders.  Combiued  with  Gladstone  it  will  be  an  import- 
ant factor  in  the  future,  as  we  have  reached  ths»t  point  in 
breeding  for  high-class  dogs  where  we  have  many  of  too 
much  nervous  force  This  blood  is  going  to  be  the  balance 
wheel  that  will  enable  others  to  breed  on. 

Roderigo,  like  his  sire,  Count  Noble,  has  not  produced 
near  so  many  winning  dams  as  winning  sires.  Rod's  Sue, 
Betty  S.  and  Dot  Rodgers  are  among  his  winners.  They 
have  so  much  nervous  force,  great  care  should  be  used  in 
selecting  a  sire  suitable  for  tuem. 

It  is  claimed  by  some  that  the  blood  of  Daisy  F.,  the  dam 
of  Daisy  Hope  and  Daisy  Hunter,  furnished  the  leaven  that 
leavened  the  blood  of  Daisy  Hunter,  causing  her  to  breed  on. 
As  Gath's  Hope  blood  furnished  more  winners  than  the 
Daisy  F.  blood,  without  it,  I  am  of  the  opinion  it  is  more 
potent  to  breed  on. 

I  shewed  in  my  article  devoted  to  "Sires"  that  the  suc- 
cessful sires,  as  a  rule,  were  large  dogs ;  the  opposite  is  the 
case,  as  a  rule,  with  the  dams,  though  not  so  marked  as  with 
the  sires. 

I  will  give  some  illustrations  of  both  small  and  large  pro- 
ducing dams,  and  my  readers  can  make  their  own  deduc- 
tions : 

Petrel,  the  dam  of  Gladstone,  was  a  small  bitch;  so  was 
Peep  o'Day,  the  dam  of  Gath ;  Twin  Maude,  the  dam  of 
Roderigo ;  Sue,  the  dam  of  Gladstone's  Boy,  Lillian,  etc., 
Lillian,  the  dam  of  Toledo  Blade,  etc.;  Bo-Peep,  the  dam  of 
Antonio,  Orlando,  etc.;  Florence  Gladstone,  the  dam  of 
Whyte  B.;  Belle  of  Hatchie,  the  dam  of  Bob  Gates,  Lady 
C,  etc;  Juno  A-,  the  dam  of  Rowdy  Rod,  etc.;  Dashing 
Novice,  the  dam  of  Sweetheart,  etc.;  Ruby'sGirl,  the  dam  of 
Count  Gladstone  IV.;  Topsey  A  vent,  the  dam  of  Topsey's 
Rod  aod  mauy  other  producing  dams  that  were  either  small 
or  of  medium  size.  Gem,  the  dam  of  Gath,  was  a  large  bitch, 
so  was  Sanborn's  Nellie,  the  dam  of  Prince  Noble,  and  also 
Bohemian  Girl,  the  dam  of  Paul  Bo,  aod  Belle  Belton,  the 
dam  of  King's  Mark,  was  another  large  bitch. 

Other  large  producing  dams  could  be  named,  but  I  think 
the  preponderance  of  producing  dams  is  largely  in  favor  of 
the  small  or  medium  dams.  It  may  not  be  amiss  to  state 
that  good  results  have  been  obtained  by  breeding  large  dams 
to  small  sires.  I  have  space  to  cite  only  Gath  to  Gem,  pro- 
duced Gath's  hope  and  Gath's  Mark;  Paul  Gladstone  to  Bo- 
hemian Girl,  produced  Paul  Bo. 

Small  dogs  often  win  the  Derbys,  I  cannot  recall  where  a 
small  dog  won  the  Aged  Stake.  It  it  the  medium-sized  dogs 
that  train  on  after  their  Derby  form  — P.  H.  Bryson  in  For- 
est and  Stream. 

Stockton  Kennel  Club. 


The  Stockton  Kennel  Club  are  hard  at  work  making  ar- 
rangements for  their  coming  show.  Machinery  Hall  in  the 
Pavilion  is  talked  of  as  the  place  where  the  show  will  be 
held.  The  Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Association  has 
promised  its  hearty  support,  and  the  San  Francisco  fanciers 
will  undoubtedly  support  the  show  with  a  good  many  entries. 
D.  J.  Sinclair  of  San  Francisco  was  present  at  their  last 
meeting,  and  gave  them  much  valuable  information.  A  good 
cash  prize  list  and  many  valuable  special  prizes  will  be  of- 
fered. A  judge  will  be  selected  that  will  please  the  San 
Francisco  and  Oakland  fanciers. 


The  Collie. 

Originally  a  Scottish  agriculturalist's  sheep  and  cattle  dog 
simply,  his  rugged  heavy  coat  is  undoubtedly  a  provision  of 
nature  to  protect  him  from  the  bleak  weather  and  the  long 
winters  incidental  ta  his  highland  home.  It  was  left  to  the 
Englishman  to  bring  out  the  beauties  of  the  Scottish  Collie, 
which  is  now  as  near  perfection,  probably,  as  he  ever  will  be 
brought  by  the  scientific  breeder,  to  whom  we  are  indebted 
for  this  handsome  and  popular  variety 'as  we  find  him  to-day. 
His  color  was  mostly  black  and  tan  when  he  was  first  taken 
in  hand  by  English  breeders  and  exhibitors, and  sable  Collies 
were  quite  a  rarity.  There  were  two  reasons  for  the  Scotch- 
man's preference  for  black  and  tan  Collies — and  our  Gaelic 
friends  rarely  do  anything  without  a  good  reason — these  be- 
ing that  the  dog  could  be  all  the  better  seen  in  the  snow,  and 
the  cross  with  the  Gordon  Setter,  which  dog,  there  is  no 
doubt,  was  employed  to  get  the  color,  at  the  same  time  im- 
proving the  Collie's  olfactory  organs.  When  his  breeding 
for  the  bench  set  in,  this  necessity  of  his  natural  avocation, 
of  course,  disappeared  and  fashion  soon  asserted  itself  and  or- 
dained that  the  Collie  should  be  sable  and  white.  Now  black 
aod  tan  or  black:,  tan  and  white  Collies  are  as  rare  as  were 
sable  and  sable  aod  white  of  fifteen  years  ago.  We  may  here 
just  relate  an  incident  which  bears  out  what  we  have  stated 
by  a  Scotchman  who  judged  Collies  at  one  of  the  earlier  shows 
held  in  Australia  a  few  years  ago.  The  best  Collie  in  one  of 
the  classes  was  a  sable  and  white,  which,  however,  the  judge 
turned  out  without  a  card,  and  on  being  questioned  as  to  the 
reason  of  his  award,  replied  that  it  was  the  wrong  color! 
The  smooth  Collie  or  Sheep  Dog  is  more  indigenous  to  Eng- 
land, and  is  to  be  found  in  the  same  colors  as  his  rough 
cousins,  and  also  in  very  pretty  and  picturesque  merle  color 
with  the  characteristic  wall  eye.  A  taste  for  tbis  attractive 
color  has  been  acquired  by  several  breeders  of  rough  Collies, 
who  have  crossed  them  with  the  smooth  merles  for  the  pur- 
pose of  getting  roughs  of  tbe  same  color,  and  to  a  great  ex- 
tent have  succeeded.  If  persevered  in  we  have  no  doubt  rough 
merles  will  be  produced  in  all  respects  as  good  and  typical  as 
their  sable  or  black,  white  and  tan  brethren. 

In  size,  build,  make  and  shape,  head,  ears,  and  character, 
the  rough  and  smooth  Collie  are  identical,  the  sole  and  only 
difference  being  quantity  of  coat.  In  describing  the  one, 
with  this  exception,  our  description,  therefore,  may  be  taken 
to  apply  to  both  these  varieties.  The  average  weight  of  a 
good  Collie  dog  is  about  65  pounds.  The  head  should  be 
long  and  level  at  the  top,  the  muzzle  pretty  strong,  finishing 
in  a  pointed  fashion,  or  from  the  muzzle  end  to  the  skull  be- 
ing wedge  shaped.  The  later  should  be  flat,  and  the  eyes 
small,  obliquely  set  in,  and  very  sharp  and  intelligent  in  ex- 
pression. The  ears  should  be  small  in  comparison  to  the 
size  of  the  dog  and  carried  almost  erect,  with  the  tips  turning 
forward  in  front,  not  at  the  side  which  is  considered  ob- 
jectionable. The  object  of  this  formation  of  the  aural  faculty 
is  that  the  dog  may  the  better  catch  the  sound  either  of  the 
shepherd  or  the  bleating  sheep,  as  tbe  case  may  he.  As  speed 
and  endurance  is  a  great  desideratum  in  a  dog  following  the 
the  avocation  of  the  sheepdog  the  dog's  architecture  should 
be  such  as  to  enable  him  to  fulfill  these  requirements.  He 
should  be  built  on  stout,  straight  forelimbs,  strong,  short, 
compact  feet,  and  broad  hind  quarters,  with  well  bent  hocks. 
His  shoulders  should  be  well  laid  back  and  his  chest  deep, 
but  not  broad;  his  loin  powerful,  and  his  back  short,  with 
well-sprung  ribs.  The  rough  coats  should  be  clad  all  through 
with  a  double  coat,  a  short,  softish  undercoat  to  keep  out  the 
rain  and  produce  warmth,  and  a  long  and  more  lustrous  outer- 
coat,  which  should  form  a  frill  or  mane  round  the  neck  and 
shoulders;  and  the  dog  should  be  well  feathered  on  thetbighs, 
and  the  tail  or  brush.  Experts  at  one  time  insisted  upon  the 
Collie's  caudal  appendage  being  slightly  curled  towards  the 
end  and  over  at  oue  side,  but  this  fad  has  passed  away,  and 
now  his  tail  is  required  straight  or  as  near  straight  as  possi- 
ble. The  smooths  should  also  have  a  double  coat,  which 
should  be  dense,  although  short.  Iu  every  other  respect  they 
should  resemble  their  rough  kinsmen.  For  work  the  smooths 
are  very  often  preferred  to  the  roughs.  In  choosing  puppies 
of  these  varieties  the  chief  points  to  guide  those  making  se- 
lections should  be — length  of  head,  smallness  of  ears,  short 
bodies,  good  bone  ;  and  in  the  roughs,  heavy  coats,  the  coat 
being  the  least  important  point  in  the  selection  of  smooth- 
coated  Collie  puppies. — British  Fancier.

The   Country   Club. 


The  Country  Club  held  its  fifth  shoot  of  the  season  on  Sat- 
urday last  at  Oakland  Race  Track.  Interest  in  the  shoot  was 
greatly  enhanced  by  the  special  prize  of  a  silver  and  glass 
jug  offered  to  the  man  making  the  highest  score  in  the  regu- 
lar monthly  match.  Messrs.  Babcock,  Tallant  and  Atherton 
tied  for  the  jug  with  II  birds  each.  In  the  shoot  off  Ather- 
ton missed  his  ninth  and  tenth,  Tallant  his  tenth,  Babcock 
killed  his  ten  straight  and  won,  Atherton  was  shooting  in 
splendid  form,  killing  60  out  of  71  bird6  shot  at,  three  dead 
out.  Tallant  shot  in  the  best  form  of  any,  killing  most  of  his 
birds  with  the  first  barrel.  He  killed  41  out  of  46  shot  at, 
Babcock  killed  26  out  of  28  birds,  losing  one  bird  dead  out  of 
bounds.    The  score :

The  Board  of  Supervisors  of  Santa  Clara  county  have 
changed  the  opening  of  the  deer  season  from  July  loth  to 
July  2d.  

Two  "Bighorn"  or  mountain  sheep  were  recently  killed 
near  Santa  Barbara.  Tbey  were  supposed  to  be  extinct  in 
that  region.  

The  Visalia  news  states  that  the  Tule  River  Fishing  and 
Shooting  Association  has  received  three  pheasants  from  the 
State  Fish  Commissioners^ 

The  programmes  for  Clabrough  Golcher  &  Co.'s  grand 
tournament  will  be  held  at  Oakland  race  track  July  28  and 
29,  and  will  be  one  of  the  best  if  not  the  best  blue  rock 
tournaments  of  the  season. 

San  Diego  sportsmen  claim  that  the  coming  quail  season 
will  be  a  poor  one.  Hunters  have  found  many  abandoned 
nests  and  say  that  from  some  cause  but  few  have  been 
hatched  this  season. 

Out  of  136  shooters  at  the  Sew  York  State  Tournament  73 
used  E.  C.  powder,  22  used  Wood  and  29  used  Schultze.  Har- 
vey McMurchy  shot  at  770  birds  and  avaraged  89.48  per  cent. 
E.  L.  Fulford  93.24.        

It  is  stated  that  deer  are  very  plentiful  this  season  in  the 
San  Bernardino  range,  in  the  hills  in  the  vicinity  of  Fall- 
brook,  in  the  Lytle  creek  county  and  in  the  Temescal  range. 
The  open  season  begins  on  July  1st  in  Riverside  county  ac- 
cording to  the  Riverside  Enterprize  but  we  cannot  find  any 
notice  of  the  change.        

It  is  feared  that  the  present  high  water  will  destroy  the 
nests  of  the  native  water  fowl  among  the  lakes  and  sloughs 
of  the  Willamette  and  Columbia  rivers.  It  is  also 
probable  that  the  first  brood  of  the  Mongolian 
pheasant  will  in  many  places  be  destroyed.  On  the  low  lands, 
along  the  river  and  creek  bottoms,  where  they  nest  they  can 
hardly  fail  to  be  destroyed; 

The  Country  Club  is  making  preparations  for  the  grand 
shoot  at  Monterey  on  August  24,  25  and  26th.  The  highest 
score  in  the  annual  twenty-five  bird  match  will  capture  a 
magnificent  $500  silver  cap.  This  cup  must  be  won  twice  by 
the  same  party  to  income  the  property  of  the  winner.  This 
event,  always  one  oi  he  grandest  shoots  in  the  world,  promi- 
ses to  exceed  all  previous  events  in  magnificence. 


Bear  and  Serpent. 

Some  clenchers  were  setting  their  nets  for  game  in  an  In- 
dian jungle  when  their  attention  was  attracted  by  hideous 
noises — roars  of  pain  and  rage,  and  a  prolonged  hissing,  like 
the  escape  of  steam  from  an  engine.  They  hastened  to  the 
spot — or  toward  it,  as  seems  most  likely — and  beheld  what 
the  Madras  Mail  describes  as  a  "Homeric  conflict."  A  jun- 
gle bear  was  fighting  for  his  life  with  a  colossal  serpent. 
Probably  the  serpent  had  been  sunning  itself  in  the  game 
track  when  the  bear  came  along,  and  as  neither  animal  would 
yield  the  path  to  the  other,  a  contest  became  inevitable. 
What  the  clenchers  saw  is  thus  described  : 

The  serpent  wound  its  enormous  folds  around  the  bear ; 
the  bear  dashed  from  side  to  side  and  rolled  on  the  ground  in 
its  desperate  attempts  to  get  free,  roaring  angrily  all  the 
while  and  snapping  its  jaws  like  castanets  at  the  serpent's 
folds.  It  could  not  reach  them,  however,  on  account  of  the 
way  in  which  they  were  tightened  around  the  bear's  qniver- 
ering  body. 

Thus  engaged,  the  combatants  swayed  to  the  brow  of  a  hill, 
down  which  the  bear  cast  himself  with  a  velocity  that  plainly 
disconcerted  the  serpent,  for  it  unwound  two  or  three  of  its 
folds  and  threw  its  tail  around  a  tree,  hoping  so  to  anchor 
the  bear.  Tbe  maneuver  resulted  in  its  own  undoing  in  more 
ways  than  one. 

The  rigid,  outstretched  line  of  tail  gave  the  bear  a  chance 
to  seize  its  assailant,  a  chance  which  up  to  this  time  had  not 
been  afforded.  The  bear  was  quick  to  seize  its  opportunity, 
and  fastened  its  jaws  in  the  snake's  quivering  flesh.  The 
hissing  was  now  frightful,  as  the  snake  rapidly  unwound  itself 
and  struck  savagely  at  the  bear's  jaws. 

By  way  of  response  the  bear  roared  furiously,  dashing  from 
side  to  side,  and  worrying  the  mouthful  of  serpent  in  its  jaws 
in  paroxysms  of  rage  and  pain.  Once  more  the  serpent  wound 
itself  about  the  bear,  the  bear  howled  and  gasped,  and  both, 
still  struggling,  rolled  out  of  view  into  the  high  grass  of  the 
forest. 

Their  track  was  marked  with  pools  of  blood,  and  when  they 
were  again  seen  tbey  had  parted.  The  snake  was  coiled  in  an 
attitude  of  defense,  with  its  head  erect,  and  hissing  appre- 
hensively. It  had  had  enough,  and  wished  only  to  be  left 
alone. 

Not  so  the  bear.  Though  almost  crushed  to  death,  it  would 
not  retire  from  the  combat.  After  a  moment's  pause  it  rushed 
upon  the  serpent,  seized  it  by  the  head  and  dragged  it  about 
with  roars  of  triumph. 

The  undergrowth  was  beaten  flat  by  the  convulsives  strokes 
of  the  great  serpent's  tail  as  the  bear  crushed  its  head  to 
pieces,  and  finally  it  lay  dead  beneath  the  assaults  of  its  vin- 
dictive enemy.

Vallejo  Sportsmen's  Club. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Vallejo  Sportsmen's  Club  on  June 
18th  the  following  officers  were  elected  for  the  ensuing  year  : 
V.  V.  Harrier,  President  :*  James  Piercey,  Secretary  and 
Treasurer  ;  J.  D.  Maier,  W.  Mitchell  and  T.  M.  Doyle,  Ex- 
ecutive Committee.  Thirty  new  members  were  admitted  to 
the  club. 


Slaughtering  Your  Ducks. 


The  Sacramento  Record-Union  contains  the  following  re- 
remarks  upon  the  slaughtering  of  "  flappers  "  in  the  vicinity 
of  Sacramento.  Here  is  a  chance  for  the  Fish  and  Game 
Commissioners. 

It  behooves  the  members  of  the  several  gun  clubs  in  this 
city  to  take  immediate  steps  to  prevent  the  slaughter  of  young 
ducks  in  the  breeding  grounds  throughout  the  tule  basin  in 
this,  Yolo  and  Solano  counties,  if  they  wish  to  enjoy  any 
sport  at  duck-shooting  next  fall. 

The  tules  are  said  to  be  alive  with  young  mallards,  teal  and 
sprig,  and  this  fact  has  aroused  the  "  bushwackers,"  who 
yearly  slaughter  and  smuggle  them— not  into  the  open  market 
but  into  hotels  and  restaurants  in  San  Francisco,  where  the 
toothsome  "  flappers  "  command  handsome  prices. 

Yesterday  a  Record-Union  reporter  saw  a  couple  of  Portu- 
guese heading  in  the  direction  of  the  tules,  with  a  couple  of 
duckhoats  and  a  shooting  outfit  in  a  wagon.  An  attempt  had 
been  made  to  hide  the  boats  and  their  contents  by  covering 
them  with  grass,  to  represent  a  load  of  that  article,  hut  the 
ends  of  the  boats  protruded  and  were  exposed  to  view. 

Unless  steps  are  taken  to  prevent  the  untimely  and  illegal 
slaughter  of  the  young  ducks,  they  will  be  nearly  exter- 
minated before  many  weeks. 

Of  course  it  is  the  duty  of  constables  and  other  officials  to 
see  that  violators  of  the  game  laws  are  brought  to  justice, 
the  same  as  other  criminals,  but  they  do  -  not,  as  a  rule,  pay 
much  heed  to  such  things.  Therefore  the  sportsmen's  clubs 
should  take  the  matter  up  and  see  if  they  cannot  do  some- 
thing toward  having  the  game  laws  respected. 

Alameda  County  Sportsmen's  Association 


The  regular  semi-monthly  shoot  of  the  Alameda  County 
Sportsmen's  Association  at  Joe  Dieves,  San  Leacdro  Road, 
on  June  24th,  brought  out  but  thirteen  shooters.  W.  Wet- 
more  was  high  score  with  twenty-two,  Donaldson  and  Burgans 
coming  close  upon  his  heels  with  twenty  each.    The  score  :

Though  there  is  an  abundance  of  small  game  in  the  San  Ga- 
briel valley,  and  plenty  of  black  bear  and  deer  in  the  Sierra 
Madras,  the  sportsmen  of  Pasadena  are  not  satisfied,  and  to 
furnish  still  more  sport  have  planted  a  flock  of  wild  goats  on 
Echo  Mountain.  These  goats  are  swift,  wary,  and  afford  good 
sport.    They  breed  quite  fast  and  are  very  hardy. 

The  deer  season  opens  July  1  in  Del  Norte,  Humboldt, 
Monterey,  San  Diego  counties  ;  Santa  Clara  county  July  2  ; 
Los  Angeles,  San  Mateo,  Marin,  San  Luis  Obispo,  Tehama, 
Shasta  and  Ventura  counties  July  15  ;  Alameda  July  20 ; 
Sonoma  July  22  ;  Napa  July  28. 

There  is  quite  a  brisk  trade  in  rifles  nowadays.  The 
sportsmen  are  preparing  for  the  deer  season.  The  40-65  and 
40:82  Winchesters  are  the  favorite  weapons.

» 

Those  that  have  been  fishing  the  smaller  streams  of  late 
report  that  they  have  had  the  best  lack  with  the  bee  and 
dark  flies,  such  as  the  grey  hackle,  peacock  body  and  similar 
flies,  _ 

Yellowtail  and  sea  bass  were  never  more  plentiful  than 
they  are  at  the  present  time  at  Avalon  bay,  San  Pedro  and

also  very  plentiful. 


A  lady  writing  to  a  contemporary  states  that  Coxey's  army

hammer  head  and  shovel  nose  shark,  jewfish,  sea  bass,  yellow 
tail,  barracouda,  flying  fish,  dytrema  and  other  tropical  and 
semt-tropical  fishes. 


Deputy  Fish  Commissioner  Friend  and  Ad.  Pearson  cap- 
tured Antonio  Salotiel  and  Jose  Otis  in  the  act  of  using  an 
illegal  gill  net  recently.  They  were  fishing  on  the  flats  off 
Middletown,  and  after  being  captured  pulled  up  a  net  100 
feet  long  with  meshes  about  an  inch  square,  which  had  been 
anchored  at  both  ends,  contrary  to  law.  The  two  were  turned 
over  to  Constable  Coon.  Nick  Vidolin  went  on  the  bond  and 
it  is  claimed  the  Portuguese  were  working  for  him.  They 
will  be  taken  before  Judge  Dudley. 


There  are  men  catching  fish  in  the  waters  of  the  Feather 
river  and  selling  them  in  direct  violation  of  the  law,  not  hav- 
ing obtained  a  license  as  provided  in  Section  1,  of  the  act  of 
March  21,  1887.  Only  one  man  has  paid  for  a  license  to  catch 
fish  in  this  vicinity  and  he  resides  at  Yuba  City,  the  number 
at  his  license  and  boat  tag  is  284.  His  name  is  G-.  W-  Keesey, 
and  his  license  protects  him  in  lawful  fishing  until  April, 
1895,  for  which  he  paid  five  dollars.  A  license  may  be  ob- 
tained by  calling  on  T.  J.  Sherwood  at  the  Democrat  office 
and  if  the  persons  who  are  now  violating  the  law  desire  to 
avoid  paying  a  heavy  fine  they  will  attend  to  it. 

Major  A.  P.  Hulse  and  Capt.  C.  H.  Davis  of  San  Diego, 
who  were  recently  arrested  by  Deputy  Fish  Commissioner 
Jas.  Friend  and  Ad  Pearson  for  illegal  fishing,  claim  that 
they  were  only  fishing  for  bait  and  did  not  catch  even  that. 
They  explain  the  circumstances  as  follows  : 

"  For  several  years,  when  we  have  had  time,"  they  said, 
•'  we  have  been  going  ont  on  Sundays  for  a  clam  bake.  We 
were  out  on  such  an  excursion.  We  had  buckets  with  us  and 
found  some  excelleut  clams  in  the  sands  at  the  head  of  the 
bay.  \Y  hile  baking  the  n  we  set  onr  lines  for  haliuut.  As 
fishermen  we  knew  that  halibut  like  live  bait.  On  the  slough 
we  found  a  seine  owned  by  a  man  named  Xewcomb.  I  sug- 
gested," said  Major  Hulse,  "  that  we  use  the  seine  to  catch 
some  line  halibut  bait,  so  we  swung  it  into  the  water,  but 
didn't  catch  a  ffsh.  Then  Davis  remarked  that  Cap.  Friend 
was  out  there,  and  we  both  easily  recognized  him,  and  pa- 
tiently waited  for  him  to  come  ud  and  join  us,  for  we  had  no 
idea  that  we  had  done  aoythiog  wrong.  That  is  how  he 
caught  us." 

The  Portugese.  Aotooia  Salatrel  and  Jose  Otis,  caught 
fishing  in  the  flats  off  Middletown,  have  been  released  on 
$200  bail  each,  and  will  be  tried  Thursday  by  Justice  Dudley. 


Bang!  Bang!  "Hello!"  I  cried,  as  the  tre- 
mendous racket  at  my  door  roused  me  out  of  a  sound  sleep. 
"It's  five  o'clock,  and  breakfast  is  ready,"  and  away  goes  the 
landlord  to  rouse  my  friend  J.  S.,  who  insisted,  the  evening 
before,  that  we  should  take  an  early  start  and  visit  some  of 
the  more  distant  lakes,  in  the  hope  of  catching  a  striDg  of 
trout  large  enough  to  satisfy  even  such  an  indefatigable  fish- 
erman as  he. 

Five  o'clock?  It  can't  be  possible,  it's  not  ten  minule8 
since  I  turned  into  bed,  and  yet  in  spite  of  the  statement  of 
the  laodlord  and  the  evi<*en;e  of  the  bright  morning  sun  now 
streaming  in  at  one  of  my  windows,  I  lazily  roll  over  and 
reach  for  my  watch  ;  sure  enough,  it  is  five  o'clock,  but  what 
in  thunder  does  anyone  want  to  get  up  at  this  unearthly  hour 
for?  I  can  catch  all  the  trout  I  want  in  a  few  hoars,  and  don't 
see  what  necessity  there  is  for  working  so  hard  to  catch  a  few 
extra  fish  that  I donrt  require.  Well  !  I  suppose  I  will  have  to 
get  up,  and  go  with  J.  S.  as  I  promised,  but,  oh  dear  !  I'm  so 
sleepy.  Ah-a-a-ah,  with  a  yawn  that  almost  dislocates  my 
jaws,  and,  I  drop  my  head  back  on  my  pillow.  Bang !  bang ! 
bang !  "  Hello !  "  I  shout,  "  what's  the  matter  now  ?  " 
"  Ain't  you  ever  going  to  get  up  ?  "  cries  J.  S.  "  I  have  fin- 
ished my  breakfast  and  am  all  ready  to  start  out,  and  C.  (the 
landlord)  says  he  called  you  an  hour  ago."  "  Wei',  well,"  I 
grumble,  "  there  is  no  need  of  being  in  such  a  harry,  the  fish 
will  keep,  won't  they?"  and  I  lazily  roll  out  of  bed,  wonder- 
ing why  people  will  be  so  disagreeable.  However,  after  a 
good  wash  I  feel  better;  I  hurry  d.own  stairs,  where  1  find  J. 
S.,  fussing  about  and  grumbling  at  my  laziness.  To  quiet 
him  I  say,  ''Take  your  man  and  boat  and  go  along,  and  I 
will  meet  you  at  Lac  Lachance  for  lunch,"  so  off  he  goes, 
much  to  my  relief,  and  I  leisurely  proceed  to  discuss  my 
breakfast  with  an  appetite  and  a  relish  that  wou'd  make  some 
poor  city  dyspeptic  turn  green  with  envy. 

After  a  hearty  meal  of  porridge,  nice,  crisp,  fried  trout,  po- 
tatoes and  other  fixings,  I  superintend  the  putting  up  of  a 
substantial  lunch  (although  any  one  who  had  just  seen  me 
eat  might  readily  suppose  that  I  could  not  possibly  require 
anything  more  for  at  least  twenty-four  hoars),  take  my  fly- 
rod,  book  and  landing-net,  and  go  down  to  the  dock,  which  is 
only  a  few  steps,  where  my  guide  is  waiting  with  his  bark 
canoe  all  ready  for  me. 

Putting  my  rod  together  and  selectinga  choice  cast  of  flies, 
I  step  lightly  into  the  birch  bark,  seat  myself  on.  a  pile  of 
frag.ant  spruce  boughs  in  the  bow,  facing  the  guide,  and  we 
are  off  at  last. 

Skirting  along  the  shores  of  the  lake,  as  we  go  towards  the 
inlet,  some  three  mile"  away,  my  labors  yield  me  but  slight 
returns,  an  occasional  rise,  with  now  and  then  a  sharp  strike 
and  a  few  medium-sized  trout  are  taken  in. 

The  day  is  not  an  ideal  fisbixg  one.  A  clear,  bright  skv, 
without  a  breath  of  air,  and  the  surface  of  the  water  li-.e  a 
burnished  mirror.  A  lovely  day  in  early  September.  The 
air  so  pure  and  bracing  that  one  involuntarily  draws  a  long 
breath,  filling  the  lungs  to  the  fu.lest  extent  and  taking  in 
with  every  inhalation  deep  draughts  of  the  life-giving  ele- 
ments and  laying  up  rich  stores  of  health,  to  last  through  the 
trying  months  during  which  we  are  cooped  up  in  the  close, 
stuffy  atmosphe  e  of  our  cities. 

I  lazily  lean  back  in  my  comfortable  seat,  carelessly  trail- 
ing my  line  along  the  surface  of  the  water,  but  with  a  full 
appreciation  of  theglorious  beauties  of  the  surrounding  scen- 
ery. 

The  hills  are  covered  with  their  gorgeous  Autumn  tints, 
brightened  aai  birnished  bv  the  early  frosts,  and  overall 
restsa  hazy  atmosphere  that  softens  and  blends  the  whole  in- 
to an  indescribable  scene  of  beauty  that  thoroughly  satisfies 
the  eye  and  heart  of  the  lover  of  nature. 

The  scenery  here  is  not  so  grand,  perhaps,  as  seen  in  Lhe 
Adirondacks,  but  our  Laurentian  hills  and  lakes  have  a 
charm  and  beauty  of  their  own,  unsurpassed  on  this  continent, 
that  once  seen  will  remain  a  pleasant  memory,  never  to  be 
forgotten. 

Approaching  the  head  of  the  lake,  where  the  main  river 
enters,  my  guide  turns  off  to  the  right,  through  a 
winding  channel,  into  another  broad  and  beautiful  sheet 
of  water,  Lie  au  Sible,  surrouode  I,  as  are  all  the  lakes 
in  this  region,  by  hills  sloping  directly  up  from  the  water's 
edge  to  a  height  of  several  hundred  feet  and  thickly  covered 
with  a  second  growth  of  birch,  beech  and  maple,  with  large 
patches  of  spruce  and  cedar.  Crossing  this  lake  to  where  a 
small  stream  enters,  my  guide  quietly  paddles  up  to  the  shore, 
steps  out,  and  hclds  the  canoe,  while  I  gather  up  my  things 
and  get  ready  to  climb  the  hill  to  another  lake,  some  two 
hundred  feet  higher,  and  about  half  a  mile  distant  from  the 
one  we  are  leaving.  The  guide  turns  the  canoe  up  over  his 
head,  takes  the  lunch  basket  in  his  hand  and  starts  up  the 
trail,  while  I  follow,  and  in  twenty  minutes  we  arrive  at  Lac 
a  1'Eau  Claire  (Clear  Water  Lake),  another  one  of  the  gems 
of  the  collection. 

The  distance  from  this  lake  to  Lac  Lachance,  where  I 
promised  to  meet  J.  S.  for  lunch,  is  only  about  thrne  or  four 
hundred  yards.  So  I  decide  to  fish  for  an  hour  or  so  before 
going  to  the  other  lake. 

Skirtiog  along  the  shore  and  casting  my  flies  into  all  the 
likely-looking  spots  as  we  move  slowly  along,  just  as  we  turn 
a  point  that  runs  out  into  the  lake  I  am  saluted  with,  "Hello  ! 
what  luck,  how  many  fish  have  you  caught?"  and  there,  to 
my  surprise,  sits  J.  S.  in  his  canoe,  at  the  outer  end  of  an  old 
dead  pine,  that  lies  partly  submerged,  bait  fishing.  I  replied 
that  1  had  only  caught  some  ten  or  twelve.  "I've  caught 
over  forty,  already,  and  some  of  them  are  beauties,  too,  and 
here's  another,"  as  he  reels  io  a  handsome  trout  of  about 
three-quarters  of  a  pound. 

"  Come,"  I  said,  "  isn't  it  most  time  for  lunch  ?  Let's  go 
and  have  some."  But  J.  S.,  who  would  rather  fish  than  eat, 
says  :  "  You  go  ahead,  get  the  fire  started  and  fish  cleaned, 
and  I  will  be  along  in  a  short  time.  I  want  to  make  it  fifty 
before  I  go  to  lunch."  So  Pierre  (my  guide)  paddles  along 
until  he  finds  a  suitable  place,  then  pushes  the  canoe  gently 
up  to  tbe  shore,  Iookiog  carefully  to  see  that  ther^  are  no 
sharp  rocks  or  projecting  roots  in  the  way,  for  the  frail  birch 
bark  must  be  handled  very  tenderly,  if  we  would  keep  it 
from  injury.  Soon  we  have  a  fine,  clear  fire  made  from  dry 
wood, and  Pierre  dresses  the  trout,  splitting  them  down  the 
back,  so  as  to  cook  tbem  "  Indian  fashion,"  while  I  cut  the 
bread  and  make  the  cofiee. 

My  guide  is  a  half-breed,  a  good  cook,  splendid  canoe  man, 
and  one  of  the  handiest  and  best  men  in  camp  I  ever  bad, 
but  unfortunately,  like  moat  of  his  race,  he  is  too  fond  of  the 
white  man's  fire  water,  and  the  only  way  to  get  the  benefit  of 


his  many  good  qualities  is  to  keep  liquor  entirely  out  of  his 
reach. 

I  wish  the  reader  could  see  the  handy  way  he  goes  to  work 
to  get  our  lunch  ready,  and  then  taste  the  fish  after  he  has 
cooked  them. 

I  took  a  fn^nd  with  me  once  who  never  had  any  experi- 
ence of  camp  life,  and  as  a  treat  had  Pierre  get  up  a  lunch 
one  day  we  were  out  fishing,  and  had  him  cook  the 
trout  both  Indian  style  and  rolled  in  corn  meal  and  fried 
crisp  in  pork  fat.  The  number  of  fish  he  disposed  of  was 
marvelous,  and  it  seemed  as  though  he  never  would  be  satis- 
fied. At  last  he  leaned  back  on  his  elbow  with  a  sigh  of 
such  satisfaction  and  said:  "I  never  enjoyed  anything  so 
much  in  my  life ;  those  trout  were  simply  delicious."  But  to 
return  to  my  story.  By  the  time  lunch  was  ready  J.  S.  made 
his  appearance,  and  we  set  to  work  with  an  appetite  and  relish 
that  only  those  who  have  gone  through  a  similar  experience 
know  anything  about. 

Perhaps  in  order  to  make  any  tale  more  complete  and  sat- 
isfactory to  the  majority  of  your  sportsman  readers,  I 
should  go  on  and  tell  of  the  seductive  pipe  or  fragrant  cigar 
which  my  friend  and  myself  enjoyed  as  we  reclined  at 
the  foot  of  some  venerable  pine  and  rested  after  the 
serious  labor  of  trying  to  satisfy  our  abnormal  appetites, 
but  as  neither  J.  S.  nor  myself  are  smokers,  and  this 
is  only  a  plain  tale  of  a  day's  outing  similar  to  many 
others  which  I  have  enjoyed  in  this  beautiful  region,  I  must 
let  the  reader  draw  upon  his  own  imagination  for  any  addi- 
tional pleasure  in  that  line,  which  he  would  have  enjoyed 
had  he  been  one  of  our  party. 

As  soon  as  the  guides  have  finished  their  lunch,  J.  S.  is  off 
again,  anxious  and  eager,  if  possible,  to  make  the  largest 
catch  of  the  day.  The  height  of  his  ambition  is  to  get  ahead 
of  his  competitors,  whether  in  fishing,  shooting,  tennis  or 
riding,  and  when  be  does  come  out  on  top  the  measure  of  his 
enjoyment  is  complete. 

After  an  hour's  rest  I  call  Pierre  and  we  get  into  our 
canoe  and  start  off,  but  the  trout  seem  fastidious  and  none  of 
the  various  flies  which  I  offer  seem  to  tempt  the  appetite  and 
excite  the  curiosity  of  the  wary  fish,  so  I  take  off  my  cast, 
put  on  a  single  hook  and  a  good  fat  worm,  and  try  that  for  a 
change.  Yes.  I  actually  came  down  to  bait  fishing,  and  don't 
hesitate  to  tell  of  it.  If  I  go  fishing  and  want  fish,  and  the 
fish  won't  take  the  fly,  and  will  take  bait,  why,  I  give  them 
bait.  I  think  it  is  always  best  to  keep  on  the  right  side  of 
everybody,  even  a  fish,  and  if  bait  will  do  it.  that's  what  I 
want  to  use. 

After  fishing  for  some  time,  with  varjing  success,  I  notice 
the  shadows  begin  to  deepen  and  extend  out  into  the  lake 
along  the  western  shore,  and  soon  a  sort  of  crispinesa  is  felt 
in  the  air,  a  slight  ripple  appears  on  the  surface  of  the  lake, 
and  an  occasional  splash  is  heard,  as  some  luckless  insect  flies 
too  near  or  drops  upon  the  surface  of  the  water  and  becomes 
the  prey  of  the  ever-vigilant  trout. 

Now  for  an  hour  of  real  sport.  I  take  a  cast  of  the  follow- 
ing flies  and  tie  on  to  my  line  :  a  brown  hackle  for  stretcher, 
a  Montreal  next,  and  Parmachene  Belle  for  dropper.  Cast- 
ing along  the  shore,  as  Pierre  paddles  the  canoe  very  gently, 
without  lifting  his  paddle  from  the  water,  I  soon  have  a 
strike,  but  after  a  wild  rush  back  and  forth  he  is  off,  being 
only  slightly  hooked.  Again  I  cast,  and  this  time  with  a 
sharper  strike.  I  fasten  the  hook  more  firmly,  and  after  a 
few  momenta's  play  Pierre  takes  the  net  and  "lands  a  hand- 
some pound  trout.  For  nearly  an  hour  the  sport  continues, 
and  I  have  the  satisfaction  of  adding  over  a  dozen  fine  fish 
to  my  score.  Suddenly,  as  if  the  bottom  had  dropped  ont  of 
the  lake,  the  trout  cease  rising,  and  neither  fly,  bait  nor  any- 
thing else  will  seduce  the  wary  fieh. 

The  shades  of  evening  are  fast  falling,  and  Pierre  and  I 
hasten  to  get  ready  for  our  return  to  camp.  Arrived  at  the 
landing  I  step  out,  and  while  disjointing  my  rod  and  getting 
things  put  into  shape  for  our  tramp  over  the  portage,  Pierre 
cuts  a  crotched  stick  and  stings  the  fish,  remarking  as 
he  puts  the  last  one  on  :  "  We  got  t'irty-two."  Then, 
turning  the  canoe  up  over  his  head  and  taking  the  string 
of  fish  in  his  hand,  he  starts  off  over  the  half-mile 
portage  at  a  pace  that  gives  me  all  I  can  do  to  keep 
up  with  him.  Arriving  at  Lac  au  Sable  we  stow 
everything  carefully  in  the  canoe.  I  take  my  paddle  and 
kneel  in  the  bow,  while  Pierre  sits  in  the  stern,  and  after  a 
sharp  paddle  of  thirty  minutes  we  cover  the  four  miles  to 
camp,  where  we  arrive  hungry  and  happy,  having  spent  a 
most  enjoyable  day. 

But  the  pleasure  of  our  day's  outing  does  not  end  with  our 
arrival,  for  after  a  hearty  supper  we  gather  around  the  big 
open  fireplace,  with  its  huge  back  log  and  bright,  crackling 
blaze  (one  of  the  attractive  features  of  our  camp),  and  relate 
our  experiences|of  the  day,  for  we  have  some  fifteen  or  twenty 
guests  altogether,  most  of  whom  have  been  out  fishing  or 
boating,  and  therefore  there  is  no  lack  of  subjects  for  conver- 
sation. 

The  Mastigouche  House  (or  "  our  camp,"  as  we  membere 
of  the  Mastigouche  Fish  and  Game  Club  prefer  to  call  it), 
although  some  miles  away  from  the  settlements  and  situated 
in  the  heart  of  the  Laurentian  wilderness,  is  a  large,  com- 
fortable building  of  squared  logs,  two  and  one-half  stories 
high,  with  some  twenty-five  rooms,  and  capable  of  accommo- 
dating about  fifty  guests.  Here  I  have  spentseveral  delight- 
ful vacations  with  my  wife  and  daughters,  and  if  spared  I 
hope  to  spend  many  more  in  the  comingyears:  fully  as  en- 
joyable as  those  that  have  passed. 

This,  my  readers,  is  the  simple  story  of  an  ordinary  day's 
outing  in  this  beautiful  region  of  lakes  and  mountains,  void 
of  exciting  incidents,  thrilling  adventures  or  wonderful  ex- 
perience-, yet  to  me  full   of  perfect  enjoyment  and  pleasure. 

If  your  many  readers  experience  one-half  tbe  pleasure  in 
the  perusal  of  this  plain  story  that  I  do  in  the  telling  of  it,  I 
will  have  accomplished  all  I  set  out  to  do  when  I  commenced 
to  write  it. — Senex  in  Amateur  Sportsman.

Bacteriology  and  its  Relation  to  Dairying. 
[Written  for  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.] 

Recent  investigations  regarding  tuberculosis  amongst 
dairy  stock  have  called  an  unusual  amount  of  activity  into 
the  insidiousness  of  this  malady  from  both  a  human  and  ani- 
mal sanitary  point  of  view. 

Legislation  in  the  East  is  now  applied  to  this  disease  and 
the  results  of  the  examinations  show  fearful  devastation 
amongst  dairy  stock  and  some  of  the  finer  breeds  of  cattle. 
Until  recently,  bacteria  were  thought  to  have  only  to  do 
with  those  who  looked  after  the  health  of  the  general  public. 
Others  heard  of  them  or  read  about  them  and  passed  them 
by  as  something  they  had  nothing  to  do  with. 

Ranchers  were  in  a  similar  position  but  now  they  find  that 
bacteria  are  of  as  much  importance  to  them  as  they  are  to 
the  doctor  or  the  surgeon.  Bacteria  play  an  important  role 
in  the  preparation  of  manures,  the  growth  of  plants,  the 
health  or  disease  of  animals,  the  preparation  of  fodders,  the 
preservation  of  farm  products,  and  with  none  more  than  the 
products  of  the  dairy.  The  impurtance  of  this  last  matter 
has  lead  to  the  expectation  that  some  work  would  appear  in 
the  English  language  dealing  with  this  subject,  and  we  are 
now  informed  that  A.  Freuilcnm'ch'.* Bacteriology  of  the  MUk 
Indus! n/,  published  in  German  at  the  end  of  last  year,  has  now 
been  published  in  French  and  will  shortly  appear  in  Italian, 
and  as  this  book  is  so  valuable,  a  short  account  of  it  may  be 
interesting  to  readers  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.  The 
Doctor  divides  his  work  into  general  and  special  parts. 

The  general  treats  of  the  history,  methods  of  growth, 
technique  and  other  matters  more  interesting  to  scientists 
than  those  engaged  in  any  of  the  milk  industries. 

The  following  is  of  interest  in  the  general  portion  of  the 
work. 

1.  Bacteria  are  living  things,  and,  as  such,  requires  : 
a.    Food  and  water. 

6.    Heat. 

c.     Air  or  something  they  can  use  for  the  same  purpose  as 
that  for  which  animals  use  air. 

2.  Bacteria  are  most  plentiful  where  there  is  most  food 
(generally  dead  or  enfeebled  animal  or  vegetable  matter)  and 
least  plentiful  where  food  is  lacking. 

3.  Bacteria  are  killed  by  most  poisons,  dryness,  great  heat 
and  great  cold. 

4.  Many  bacteria  form  spores  (which  may  be  regarded  as 
seeds)  which  can  live  where  the  bacteria  themselves  would 
die. 

5.  A  basin  of  warm  milk  is  almost  the  best  of  all  feeding 
grounds  for  bacteria. 

6.  Milk  in  the  cow's  udder  is  germ-free,  except  in  a  few 
cases,  such  as  tuberculosis  and  inflammation  of  the  udder. 

The  second  part  of  the  work  deals  directly  upon  (he  action 
of  bacteria  upon  the  general  products  of  the  dairy. 

The  doctor  asks  the  following  questions  : 

1.  Which  bacteria  are  found  in  milk,  and  how  do  they  af- 
fect it? 

2-     How  do  they  get  into  the  milk  ? 

3.  What  brings  about  their  increase  ? 

4.  How  could  they  be  kept  out  of  the  milk,  prevented 
from  increasing,  or  killed  altogether  ? 

The  doctor's  answers  to  these  questions  are  in  general  as 
follows :  There  are,  roughly  speaking,  two  classes  of  bacteria 
which  affect  milk  and  its  products  that  are  of  sufficient  im- 
portance to  be  considered  by  the  dairy-keeper.    These  are : 

1.  Pathogenic  bacteria. 

2.  Usual  milk  bacteria. 

1.  Pathogenic  bacteria  are'those  that  cause  disease  in  man 
and  some  other  animals,  but  which  do  little  or  no  damage  to 
the  milk  itself — they  merely  use  the  milk  as  a  means  of 
transit  ffomone  victim  to  another.  Their  proper  habitat  is 
in  the  animal  that  they  affect,  but  they  flourish  in  milk  and, 
by  carelessness  or  ignorance  in  its  handling,  they  are  carried 
from  the  diseased  to  the  healthy  much  oftener  than  they 
ought  to  be.     Such  bacteria  are  those  that  cause  : 

1.  Tuberculosis. 

2.  Typhus. 

3.  Cholera. 

4.  Diphtheria. 

5.  Scarlet  fever. 

6.  Foot  and  mouth  disease,  etc. 

Besides  these,  there  are  others  that  have  caused,  in  Amer- 
ica especially,  poisonous  cream  and  cheese,  but  they,  fortu- 
nately, are  very  infrequently  met  with. 

2.  The  usual  mi/I:  bacteria  are  those  that  by  ages  of  continued 
appropriation  have  accustomed  themselves  to  work  in  milk, for 
the  natural  habitat  of  most  of  them  is  milk,  but  when  no 
milk  is  to  be  had  they  flourish  in  other  substances. 

The  chief  bacteria  belonging  to  the  second  class  are  those 
that  cause : 

1.  Milk  souring. 

2.  Swollen  and  cavernous  cheese. 

3.  Blue  milk. 

4.  Red  milk. 

5.  Bitter  milk. 

6.  Slimy  milk. 

7.  The  casein   forments  or  cheese  ripeness. 

The  peculiarity  of  these  milk  bacteria  is  that  although  they 
have  little  or  no  effect  upon  living  animals,  they  have  great 
effect  upon  milk  itself,  and  a  further  peculiarity  is  that  the 
effects  they  produce  on  milk  and  milk  products  are  some- 
times desirable,  and  at  other  times  very  undesirable.  For  in- 
tan  ce,  it  is  very  undesirable  to  have  the  bacteria  that  cause 
milk  souring  in  milk  that  is  to  be  kept  fresh.  Whereas,  in  milk 
from  which  butter  or  cheese  is  to  be  made  just  that  amount 
of  souring  is  required  that  will  produce  butter  or  cheese  to 
the  taste  of  the  consumers.  It  is  also  very  undesirable  to 
have  in  cream  from  which  butter  is  to  be  made  the  bacteria 
that  cause  cheese  ripening.  Again,  if  a  certain  kind  of  bac- 
teria produce  a  certain  desired  ripening,  bacteria  that  pro- 
duce some  other  ripening  are  not  wanted.  In  connection 
with  this  last  statement  the  case  is  mentioned  of  Weigmann, 
of  Kiel,  who  first  discovered  that  a  certain  kind  of  bac- 
terium was  the  means  of  giving  the  flavor  and  quality  that 
exactly  suited  the  fastidious  butter  consumers  and  afterwards 
by  cultivating  these  bacteria  and  sowing  them  in  the  milk 
r  -oduced  the  same  excellent  butter  with  the  greatest  regular- 
i.j. 

Since  milk  is  germ  free  when  it  leaves  the  cow,  there  can 

'»  little  doubt  but  that  it  is  contaminated  when  it  is  in  the 

-     lands  of  the  dairy  leper.     We  shall  do  well,  however,  to 

-lesoend  to  more  dc;    1.     It  is  possible  for  milk  to  be  in  con- 

net  with  a  good  man)  things  before  it  gets  to  the  consumer, 


and  by  all  those  it  may  be  contaminated,  but  in  good  dairies 
it  is  usually  only  in  contact  with  the  dairy  utensils,  and  the 
atmosphere  of  the  cow-shed  and  dairy. 

From  the  first  of  these  the  contamination  may  be  very 
great,  but  it  is  usually  very  small,  especially  when  these  things 
are  well  washed.  By  well  washed  it  is  not  meant  well  .scalded, 
for  it  is  possible  to  scald  the  dishes — especially  those  with  an 
unglazed  surface — over  and  over  again  and  yet  have  them 
unclean.  This  is  the  case  when  such  dishes  have  been  scalded 
before  being  washed  with  cold  water.  The  scalding  coagu- 
lates the  casein  of  the  milk,  and  makes  it  stick  to  the  dishes, 
where  it  is  ready  to  feed  any  bacteria  that  may  come  in  con- 
tact. The  atmosphere  of  the  cow-sheds  and  dairy  are  respons- 
ible for  much  more  trouble  than  are  the  dairy  dishes.  It  is 
impossible  for  one  to  keep  a  dairy  absolutely  clean,  and  con- 
sequently much  more  impossible  to  keep  it  free  from  bacteria, 
for  the  milk  bacteria — as  well  as  all  other  bacteria — are  so 
small  that  some  may  live  on  every  particle  of  dust  that 
sparkles  in  the  sunbeam,  and  the  dangers  in  the  dairy  are 
even  less  than  those  that  are  to  be  faced  in  the  byre,  or  cow- 
shed, where  there  is  a  much  Krger  amount  of  matter  for  bac- 
teria to  feed  upon,  besides  more  heat  and  moisture  to  make 
them  all  the  more  lively.  Yet  the  cow-shed  is  oftentest  the 
dirtiest  of  all  the  ranch  buildings  (pig  yards,  of  course, 
excepted),  and  milk  is  sometimes  allowed  to  stand  from  half 
an  hour  to  an  hour  exposed  to  it«  atmosphere  before  it  is 
carried  to  the  dairy. 

Besides  these  sources  of  contamination  there  are  others 
that  are  less  thought  of,  such  as,  for  instance,  the  milker's 
hands  and  clothes,  and  the  cow's  udder  and  skin  generally. 
Milker's  hands  in  this  country  are  usually  fairly  well  washed, 
and  we  seldom  hear  of  such  a  custom  as  that  noticed  by  Dr. 
Freudenreich  in  some  parts  of  Switzerland,  of  washing  the 
hands  in  potato  brew  before  milking.  How  many  milkers 
who  keep  dirty  clothes  to  put  on  when  they  go  milking,  and 
how  few  who  take  great  care  to  see  that  the  cow's  udder  and 
adjacent  parts  are  properly  cleansed  before  milking  !  Some 
think  when  they  see  a  particle  of  dirt  or  a  hair  fall  into  the 
bucket :  "  Oh,  the  sieve  will  take  that  out ; "  well,  the  sieve 
may,  but  in  the  meantime  the  damage  is  done.  Upon  these 
very  particles,  especially  if  the  cow  be  habitually  in  an  un- 
clean condition,  the  bacteria  are  probably  liveliest  and  most 
numerous,  and  once  they  are  in  the  milk  no  amount  of  siev- 
ing will  take  them  out. 

There  is  one  case  which  is  veiy  difficult  to  get  over :  After 
milking  some  of  the  milk  adheres  to  the  lower  part  of  the 
milk  canal.  This  is  open  to  the  atmosphere,  and  before  the 
next  milking  it  may  have  been  found  out  by  bacteria,  which 
are  then  carried  down  to  the  milking  pail.

Let  us  Adopt  this  Plan. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — In  the  special  de- 
partment of  your  last  issue  conducted  by  that  able  writer, 
Joseph  Cairn  Simpson,  I  read  with  great  interest  an  arti- 
cle 'approving  the  encouragement  of  owners  in  driving 
their  "horses  in  trotting  and  pacing  races.  Our  friend  Simp- 
son has  but  lightly  touched  upon  the  many  soul-stirring  and 
thrilling  sensations  of  pleasure  to  be  derived  from  sitting  be- 
hind the  winner  of  a  hard-fought  contest  for  a  prize,  how- 
ever small.  The  increased  delight  of  competition  Mr.  Simp- 
son clearly  elucidates,  and  all  lovers  of  the  light  harness 
horse  will  readily  attest  to  the  greater  delight  of  manipulat- 
ing the  reins  over  his  favorite  stepper,  instead  of  tamely  sub- 
mitting his  pet  and  his  interests  to  the  mercies  of  some  un- 
known, and  perhaps  somewhat  uncertain  professional.  Again, 
considering  the  benefit  to  the  associations,  their  purses  given 
for  owners  to  drive  will  command  the  attention  of  the  pub- 
lic which  the  ordinary  race  programme  would  fail  to  reach. 
Friends,  otherwise  indifferent  to  horseflesh,  will  enthuse  up- 
on his  friends,  possible  chance  of  success,  and  owner's  day 
rill,  in  time,  become  the  gala  day  of  the  meeting. 

For  years,  long  prior  to  a  residence  in  California,  the 
writer  was  an  ardent  lover  of  turf  sports,  and  the  frequency 
of  participation  in  most  of  the  meetings  during  the  grand 
circuit  throughout  the  principal  cities  of  the  Southern  States, 
was  occasioned  by  a  knowledge  of  the  then  existing  custom 
for  owners  to  drive,  and  even  now,  though  "  the  years  are 
creeping  slowly  by,"  nothing  is  more  stimulating  toward  a 
youthful  effort,  than  a  rallying  brush  through  the  home- 
stretch in  a  finishing  heat  for  a  liberal  purse  hung  up  in  the 
old-fashioned  "  red,  white  and  blue"  at  the  wire. 

Aside  from  the  exhileratiug  influences  produced  through 
the  personal  engagement  of  owners  in  driving  their  horses, 
the  patronizing  public  would  realize  a  pleasure  and  confidence 
in  a  display  of  the  best  possible  efforts  of  those  engaged  for 
the  supremacy,  and  thus,  not  alone  would  the  associations 
profit  by  their  presence,  but  owners  as  well. 

Let  them  come  to  the  rescue  of  the  low  price  under  which 
the  noble  horse  has  fallen,  because  of  their  neglect  to  ac- 
knowledge his  importance,  aud  because  of  a  want  of  their 
personal  association  and  assistance  in  his  best  efforts  to  serve 
them.  Let  them  realize  the  self-evident  fact  that  there  exists 
among  them  a  strong  inclination  on  the  part  of  many  to 
engage  and  to  drive  their  animals  in  races!  That  this  is  true 
the  number  of  recently-formed  driving  clubs  in  this  State 
affords  ample  proof.  The  principal  thing  lacking  to  give 
proper  encouragement  is  the  want  of  action  on  the  part  of 
our  managers  to  give  liberal  purses  for  owners  to  drive,  and, 
under  such  regulations  as  to  equalize,  as  nearly  as  possible, 
the  chances  of  those  engaged.  For  instance,  a  $500  purse, 
with  owners  to  drive,  and  carrying,  as  Mr.  Simpson  suggests, 
175  pounds  in  the  sulky,  would  as  nearly  equalize  the  ma- 
jority as  it  could  be  done.  Thus  some  would  nave  to  take  up 
weight,  while  others  would  be  likely  to  divest  all  they  could, 
and  thus  equality  would  be  so  nearly  reached  as  to  give  satis- 
faction and  justice  to  all. 

Among  the  many  of  our  fairs  this  coming  fall  there  is  a 
fine  opening  for  some  of  their  enterprising  and  far-seeing 
managers  to  take  the  initiative  step,  and  thereby  inaugu- 
rate a  feature  pregnant  with  purifying  results  for  the  good

Santa  Rosa   Scintillations. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  Beeedee  and  Sportsman.] 
Santa  Rosa,  June  23. — A  number  of  weeks  have  sped 
around  in  the  whirligig  of  time  since  Santa  Rosa  has  been 
heard  from  through  your  welcome  and  reliable  paper.  Time 
was,  not  far  distant,  when  the  Santa  Rosa  horsemen  were  not 
satisfied  with  anything  less  than  a  weekly  letter,  but  they  are 
spared,  in  a  measure,  that  infliction.  But  think  not  from"  (he 
tenor  of  these  remarks  that  the  Santa  Rosa  horsemen  exists 
onlyiu  the  fond  recollections  of  Santa  Rosa  inhabitants;  he 
is  still  here,  lives,  acts,  moves  and  has  a  being  that  can  appre- 
ciate three  square  meals  per  day.  His  seeming  silence  does 
not  indicate  that  he  has  become  weary  of  life,  or  that  his  busi- 
ness has  fallen  into  the  hands  of  the  predatory  sheriff  or  tax- 
collector.  He  is  quiet  because  he  is  engaged  in  securing  his 
second  wind,  as  it  were.  When  he  gets  that.look  out  for  some 
sensational  performance. 

The  trotting-horse  coterie  has  been  considerably  reduced 
since  our  first  letter  went  from  this  place  to  the  Breeder 
and  Sportsman.  Old  faces  have  faded  away  and  some  new 
ones  have  appeared  to  take  their  place.  Of  thaL  entertaining 
galaxy  that  used  to  assemble  at  Gen.  Fine's  stable,  in  the 
years  gone  by,  to  discuss  turf  matters  in  general,  and  to  pass 
up^n  all  mooted  questions,  not  half  of  them  remain.  And 
yet,  though  the  headquarters  have  been  moved  and  many  of 
the  old  turfites  have  gone,  there  are  a  number  of  very  enter- 
prising turf  lights  left.  They  make  Belden  Helin's 
harness  store  their  resting  place,  and  every  evening  about  S 
o'clock  they  can  be  seen  smoking  the  pipe  of  peace  there, 
talking  over  the  days  that  are  gone,  discussing  things  of  the 
present  and  making  occasional  excursions  into  the  future. 
Wyman  Murphy,  Thomas  Bonner,  Wm.  Lumsden,  Henry 
Baker,  I.  DeTurk,  Jim  Dustin,  Joe  Purrington,  M.  J.  Strien- 
ing,"Bill"  McGay,  Andy  Cop  ton,  Bob  Crooks,  Jerry  Brode- 
rick.the  doctor  and  others  are  among  those  who  paralyze  the 
weed  and  canvass  the  horse  situation  so  vigilantly  there.  Of 
the  old  timers  who  have  gone  Mart  Rollins  is  one ;  he  is  now 
a  member  of  the  regular  police  force  here  and  makes  a  first- 
class  officer.  Breaking  refractory  colts  well  equipped  him 
for  the  interesting  work  of  cracking  the  heads  of  obstreperous 
drunks,  and  the  tough  element  gives  Mart  a  wide  swath.  A. 
McFadyen  is  clear  out  of  the  horse  business.  He  is  up  in  the 
heavy-timbered  district  of  Idaho  running  a  saw  mill  for  Con 
Shea,  one  of  our  heavy  capitalists.  "  Mc  "  is  one  of  the  best 
lumber  men  and  saw  mill 'men  in  the  west  and  is  doing  very 
well.  Rufus  Murphy,  another  veteran,  has  almost  forsworn 
the  horse  business.  He  lives  at  Ukiah  and  now  and  then 
comes  down  to  shake  the  old  boys  by  the  hand.  George 
Guerne  is  located  at  Kalamazoo,  Michigan,  most  of  the  time, 
where  he  is  pushing  the  sale  of  the  famouB  track  harrow  in- 
vented by  Santa  Rosa  men.  Lew  Guerne  is  here  engaged  in 
business  and  Al  is  still  in  the  ''Blue  Grass  "  region,  where 
he  went  with  Alfred  G.  some  years  ago.  "  Billy  "  Underbill 
has  disposed  of  his  San  Francisco  liveryj^able  interests  and 
has  moved  back  to  Santa  Rosa  to  live.  Ma^JiBiUiffin  is  else- 
where, Lil  March  left  some  time  ago,  DeLong  has  returned 
to  Oregon,  Dave  Colross  is  in  New  Jersey — thus  have  they 
scattered  to  all  quarters  of  the  country.  But  the  quota  of 
good  horses  keeps  up  to  its  old-time  notch. 

There  have  been  a  number  of  sales  during  the  year.  I.  De 
Turk  hes  been  moving  his  "  up  the  line."  He  sold  John  L. 
to  "Joe"  Berry  of  this  city,  Yulupa  was  bought  by  F.  J. 
Yandle  of  this  place.  A  San  Rafael  man  got  another  fine 
Anteeo ;  Murray  &  Segelken  of  this  place  purchased  an- 
other, and  Ukiah  is  now  the  property  of  a  San  Francisco 
man.  He  still  has  his  great  Anteeo  mare  Myrtle,  2:194,  and 
will,  no  doubt,  keep  her,  for  she  is  in  foal  to  a  splendid  sire. 
The  Rosedale  stock  is  all  looking  well,  and  there  have  been 
a  number  of  additions  since  our  last  communication.  Sam 
Norris  is  handling  some  Rosedale  trotters,  and  all  are  do- 
ing well. 

Jim  Dustin  has  been  feeling  pretty  badly  for  some  time, 
but  since  the  weather  got  squared  off  and  he  got  to  driving 
his  horses,  and  a  number  nf  Pierce  Bros.'  best,  he  has  been 
feeling  much  better.  Besides  bis  Shylock,  Bonner  and  Red 
Oak,  he  has  Mollie  Allen,  a  Director  filly,  a  Dexter  Prince 
youngster  and  a  number  of  others  to  harden  up  for  business 
for  the  campaign. 

W.  E.  Healy  has  five  trotters  left,  a  two-year-old  Redwood, 

a  yearling  Skinner,  a  weanling  by  Montana,  and   two  others. 

Good  reports  come  from  Geo.  A.  Stone's  horse  Illustrious, 

now  making  a  stand  in  Colusa  county.     This  horse  has  some 

fine  colts  in  Sonoma  county. 

"Joe"  Purrington  is  a  horseman  who  has  not  lost  faith  in 
the  business.  He  has  a  large  number  of  good  ones,  and  he 
thinks  as  much  of  a  fine  young  Skinner  as  of  anything  on 
his  farm. 

L.  H.  Buckland  has  one  of  the  best  drivers  in  these  parts, 
Bay  Tommie,  he  calls  him,  and  he  has  a  record  of  2:25,  which 
makes  him  a  very  dangerous  horse  to  try  to  pass  on  the 
road. 

Since  beginning  this  letter  I  have  learned  of  the  shooting 
of  A.  ;McFadyen,  which  occurred  at  Delmar,  Idaho,  a  few 
days  ago.  No  particulars  have  been  received.  It  has  been 
merely  stated  that  he  was  shot  through  the  left  lung  by  a  man 
who  was  working  for  him,  and  it  is  feared  he  cannot  recover. 
His  friends  here  hope  it  is  not  so  bad.  Poblid6. 


Whether  or  not  the  fair  will  be  held  in  Mendocino 
county  during  the  present  year  depends  upon  the  action  of 
the  citizens  of  Lake  county.  A  mass  meeting  has  been  called 
for  the  23d  inst.,  on  which  occasion  it  will  be  decided  as  to 
whether  or  not  the  taxpayers  of  that  county  will  comply 
with  the  conditions  exacted  by  the  owners  of  the  park.  The 
specifications  include  the  putting  of  the  track  in  order  and 
the  paying  of  the  rent.  Unless  this  is  complied  with  the  fair 
will  be  held  in  Mendocino  county.  It  is  stated  that  the  citi- 
zens of  that  county  will  not  give  the  required  satisfaction  to 
the  owners  of  the  park,  and  if  this  proves  correct  the  fair 
will  be  held  in  Ukiah. 


Henry  Cortrite,  Detroit,  Mich.,  writes  :  "I  think  'Ab- 
sorbine'  the  best  liniment  in  use  for  removing  wind  pufls  and 
callous  enlargements." 

Kirk  Christy,  Merrill,  Wis.,  writes:  "  I  am  greatly  pleased 
with  your  '  Absorbine,'  and  have  been  telling  other  horse- 
men here  about  it.'*

Santa    Maria    Letter. 


[Special  Correspondence  of  the  Breeder  and  Sportsman.] 


Santa  Maria,  June  23. — The  annual  fair  of  the  37th 
district  will  be  held  at  Lompoc  this  year,  commencing  Octo- 
ber 24th  and  'continuing  four  days.  This  late  date  was 
chosen  to  suit  the  agriculturalists  who  have  always  claimed 
that  our  fairs  are  held  entirely  in  the  interests  of  horsemen 
and  that  no  attention  is  paid  to  the  wants  and  rights  of  the 
common  farmer. 

Corn,  pumpkins,  beets,  bfcans  and  other  summer  crops 
ripen  very  late  in  this  district,  and  the  date  selected  will  favor 
a  good  display  of  these  products,  as  well  as  of  apples,  pears 
and  other  late  fruits. 

The  creamery  industry  is  just  now  attracting  a  great  deal 
of  attention  locally,  and  an  extensive  experimental  test  and 
display  of  dairy  cows  and  dairy  machinery  and  processes  will 
doubtless  be  made. 

The  late  date  also  suits  our  local  horsemen,  as  it  gives 
them  a  chance  to  make  the  circuit,  finishing  up  at  home. 
There  will  be  more  than  the  usaal  interest  in  the  horse  de- 
partment this  fall.  Oar  district  is  full  of  young  aspirants — 
home  productions — bred  from  great  sires  and  dams  of  more 
or  less  repute,  and  the  speed  some  are  showing  in  their  work- 
outs is  a  surprise  even  to  their  owners. 

A  very  few  horses,  not  fast  ones  either,  have  always  found 
it  an  easy  matter  to  carry  off  all  stakes,  and  our  betting  fra- 
ternity have  formed  the  habit  of  going  their  last  dollar  on 
these  horses.  If  they  follow  up  old  habits  this  fall,  somebody 
besides  "  the  talent''  will  have  the  money  after  the  races. 

Colts  and  fillies  are  always  an  enigma,  and  when  one  shows 
a  brush  of  speed  his  owner  is  sure  he  has  the  winner,  so  our 
fall  races  are  going  to  be  lively  and  difficult  to  judge. 

The  Santa  Maria  race  course  was  a  lively  place  during  the 
winter  months,  proving  itself  the  favorite  winter  track  of 
all  the  country  around.  The  soil  is  of  a  sandy  nature,  and 
is  Dever  muddy,  even  after  a  week's  rain,  and  is  easily  kept  in 
the  best  of  order.  This,  together  with  our  cheap  feed  and 
perfect  climate,  makes  the  Santa  Maria  course  an  attrac- 
tion to  horsemen  all  over  the  State. 

The  depressed  horse  market  has  been  a  good  thing  for 
our  valley,  by  bringing  the  best  animals  within  the  reach 
of  our  people,  who  have  not  been  slow  to  take  advantage 
of  the  opportunity  to  improve  their  stables. 

Chas.  Vanina,  a  genuine  horseman  in  every  sense  of  the 
word,  who  spent  the  winter  at  the  Santa  Maria  track,  left 
during  the  week  with  his  fine  string  for  Santa  Barbara, 
where  he  will  train  until  the  opening  of  the  Northern  cir- 
cuit. He  is  the  owner  of  Thompson,  four  years,  by  Boo 
die,  dam  by  Jim  Mulvenna,  and  has  him  entered  at  the  San 
Francisco  fall  races.  He  is  also  managing  Moses  B.,  aged, 
by  Leinster,  dam  Aunt  Jane;  Ali  Baba,  three  years,  by  Joe 
Daniels,  dam  Test ;  Fair  Lawn,  four  years,  by  Birdcatcher, 
dam  by  Wildidle;  Bean  Brocade,  four  years,  by  Electro,  dam 
by  thoroughbred.  He  is  promised  a  number  of  noted  horses 
from  the  South  to  manage  during  the  coming  campaign,  and 
will  return  to  the  Santa  Maria  course  next  winter.        M. 


A  "Well-Merited  Complaint. 


Editor  Breeder  and  Sportsman  : — Returned  yesterday 
from  Angels'  Camp  Spring  races.  This  is  a  new  club  and  its 
first  meeting  should  be  its  last,  for  of  all  the  red  tape,  Angel's 
Camp  stands  first.  The  secretary,  C.  W.  Tryon,  whose  name 
is  very  becoming,  wired  Mose  Baker,  of  Oakdale,  bring  up 
all  your  trotters  and  pacers  (five)  and  even  then  he  could 
only  get  one  pace  and  one  trot  in  the  meeting.  A  runner  can 
get  what  he  requires,  but  pacers  and  trotters  they  don't  want. 
Fancy  the  Judge  buying  pools  on  a  race  and  running  his 
horse.  Mr.  Sam  De  Zoe's  trotter  Merlin,a  green  horse  with- 
out record,  after  staying  ten  or  twelve  days  and  paying  $12 
at  the  track  for  feed  came  home  without  having  a  show  for  a 
race.  The  only  pace  and  trot  on  the  list  was  last.  Angels' 
track  is  one-half  mile  and  very  slow,  up  hill,  with  several 
sharj)  turns.  From  the  lower  seat  in  the  stand  you  cannot 
see  the  race  without  standing  up.  At  it's  ends^ie  wind 
blows  one's  head  off,  and  last,  but  not  least,  owners  of  horses  are 
charged  25  cents  to  enter  the  stand.  The  directors  consist  of 
Dolling,  Arendt,  Meyers,  Kine,  Stickle  and  Tryon,  who  cater 
for  their  camp  only.  It  is  no  place  for  outside  horses.  All 
pacers  or  trotters  will  do  well  by  staying  at  home. 

Excelsior. 

Mode=to,  June  2, 1894. 

[The  above  letter  should  be  carefully  read  by  the  presi- 
dent and  directors  who  supervised  that  meeting.  We  earnestly 
hope  they  will  profit  by  the  criticism  of  their  actions  and  be 
impressed  with  the  fact  that  horsemen  who  bring  their  horses 
to  a  meeting  should  be  well  treated  and  receive  every  courtesy 
as  well  as    have    justice  accorded  them. — Ed.] 


Good  Horses  Sell  Cheap. 


Fresno,  January  30. — There  was  a  woeful  slaughtering  of 
prices  atthe  assigneeVsale  of  blooded  registered  stock  from  S. 
M.  Straube's  Poplar  Grove  Breeding  Farm  to-day.  The  farm 
passed  from  Straube  into  the  hands  of  William  Ensehn  a  little 
over  two  years  ago.  Ensehn  has  had  to  surrender  to  his 
creditors,  and  as  a  result  seventy-one  head  of  horses  were 
disposed  of  under  the  hammer. 

To-day  thirty  head  were  sold.  The  attendance  was  not 
large.  The  horses  averaged  only  about  $44,  the  prices  rang- 
ing from  $15  to  $126.  The  purchasers  were  not  so  much 
horsemen  as  citizens  who  needed  one  or  more  horses.  A  few 
stablemen  were  on  hand,  but  no  large  buyers  of  horses,  al- 
though same  of  the  best  blood  in  the  horse  world  runs  through 
the  veins  of  the  stock  on  Poplar  Farm. 

Following  are  some  of  the  prices  realized  :  Lizzie  Bernard, 
eight-year-old,  sire  Mountain  Boy,  $50  ;  Florence  H.,  three- 
year-old,  sire  Clovis,  $45 ;  No.  33,  foaled  March,  1892,  sired 
by  Junio,  dam  Ida  Davis,  by  Belnor,  $126  ;  No.  36,  same  age, 
sired  by  Clovis,  dam  by  Waterford,  $26 ;  No.  37,  bay  filly, 
same  age,  sired  by  Apex,  $41  ;  Birdie  H.,  foaled  May,  1893, 
sired  by  Junio,  dam  Lizzie  Bernhard,  $30;  Lanky  GirLsame 
age,  sired  by  Clovis,  dam  Miss  Langford, from  imported  stock. 
Geldingg  and  coltp  varied  from  $17  to  $45.  The  balance  of 
the  stable  will  be  sold  to-morrow.  It  contains  Clovis  4,909, 
Juuio  14,957  (record  2:22),  Jarboe,  the  tatter's  son,  and  a 
number  of  mares  of  imported  strains. 


The  sale  was  concluded  Thursday.  The  prices  were  even 
more  disastrous  than  those  of  Wednesday.  A  number  of 
yearling  geldings  brought  $10  and  $15  each.  The  mares 
brought  from  $30  to  $75,  with  an  average  of  about  $45. 

The  star  horse  of  the  farm  was  Junio.  He  has  a  magni- 
ficent record  and  a  long  pedigree,  while  his  get  have  made 
him  famous.  He  was  bought  by  S.  N.  Straube  four  years  ago 
for  $15,000  and  other  considerations,  bringing  his  price  up 
to  $18,000.  He  was  bought  by  Frank  P.  Wickersham  to-day 
for  $1,100. 

Clovis,  a  registered  stallion  valued  at  from  $4,000  to  $5,000, 
was  sold  for  $300.  Hi3  son,  Jarboe,  whose  value  is  fixed  at 
$1,000,  was  sold  for  $225.     The  sale  was  disastrous.

Shooting  of  Allen  McFadyen. 

A  dispatch  from  Delamar,  Idaho,  reports  the  shooting  of 
Allen  McFadyen  as  the  result  of  a  quarrel  over  wages,  says 
the  Santa  Rosa  Democrat.  The  ball  went  through  the  right 
lung  and  will  probably  cause  death.  Mr.  McFadyen  was 
well  known  all  over  Sonoma  County.  He  was  first  in  the 
lumber  business  in  Guerneville,  sold  out  and  came  to  Santa 
Rosa,  where  he  resided  for  some  time.  He  was  afterwards 
in  the  livery  business  with  W.  H.  Underbill  in  Clark's  old 
stable,  corner  of  Main  and  Second  streets.  He  left  here  in  De- 
cember, 1891,  resided  awhile  in  San  Francisco,  then  went 
East  with  the  Anteeo  horse,  Redwood,  which  was  sold  in 
September,  1892.  Mr.  McFadyen  then  returned  with  his 
family  to  San  Francisco.  He  left  a  year  ago  last  May  for 
Idaho,  where  he  has  since  been  engaged  in  business  up  to  the 
time  of  the  shooting,  as  narrated  in  the  dispatch  quoted.  No 
further  particulars  of  the  affair  could  be  obtained. 

What  becomes  of  the  post  champions  of  the  trotting  track 
is  often  asked.  Nancy  Hanks,  2:04,  has  been  bred  to  Arion, 
2:07 J,  both  owned  by  J.  Malcolm  Forbes,  of  Boston,  and  as 
she  is  said  to  "  have  a  leg  "  will  hardly  appear  again.  Snnol, 
2:08  1-5,  is  a  member  of  Mr.  Robert  Bonner's  road  brigade. 
Maud  S.,  2:0SJ,  is  at  Mr.  Bonner's  farm  at  Tarrytown,  that 
home  of  retired  monarchs  of  the  trotting  turf.  All  efforts  to 
breed  her  have  failed.  She  is  friendly  to  Ansel,  the  lord  of 
the  harem,  but  absolutely  declines  to  incur  the  responsibili- 
ties of  maternity.  Jay-Eye-See,  2:10,  the  .nonarch  of  a  day, 
roams  the  roomy  pastures  of  hickory  groves,  Racine,  Wis., 
and  will  do  so  to  the  end  of  his  days.  St.  Julien,  2:1 1 V,  al- 
though twenty-six  years  of  age,  is  hale  and  hearty.  In  Sum- 
mer he  wanders  over  George  Morrow's  seventeen  thousand 
acre  ranch  near  San  Jose,  and  in  Winter  has  a  five-acre  pad- 
dock and  stable  which  he  divides  with  an  old  mule,  the  two 
being  particular  chums.  The  world's  heroes  are  soon  for- 
gotten, and  so  are  the  champions  of  the  turf. 

The  great  broodmare,  Lady  Bunker,  has  four  sons  that 
are  sires,  and  three  of  them — Guy  Wllke3,  William  L.  and 
El  Mahdi — have  each  sired  2:20  performers,  and  before 
many  weeks  pass  by  her  youngest  son,  Declaration,  by 
Young  Jim.  will  have  his  first  2:20  representative  in  Ella  O., 
who  lowered  her  record  from  2:27  to  2:24  in  a  six-heat  race 
at  Denver  and  is  much  faster.

of  good  faitb.  Write  the  questions  distinctly,  on  one  side  of  the 
paper  only.  Positively  no  questions  will  be  answered  by  mail  or 
telegraph. 

B.  P. — Please  give  me  number  and  extended  pedigree  of 
Toney  Hambletonian,  by  Bacon's  Hambletonian.  son  of  Fisk'a 
Hambletonian.  Answer. — Cannot  find  such  a  horse  regis- 
tered. 

D.,  Hollister— Please  answer  this  question.  Did  Dr.  Has- 
brouck  make  his  record  (five-eighths  of  a  mile)  on  a  straight- 
away or  a  regulation  track?  Answer.— On  the  Morris  Park 
straight-away,  with  122  pounds  up. 

J.  McCaw,  Sacramento,  Cal. — Having  a  young  colt  born 
and  desiring  to  name  him,  would  you  be  kind  enough  through 
your  paper  to  see  if  the  name  of  Don  Wood  has  been  taken 
or  Don  Wilkes,  or  is  there  horses  of  those  names?  Answer. — 
Don  Wood  has  not  been  claimed.    There  is  a  Don  Wilkes  4418. 

To  decide  a  bet.  A.  says  Mascot  and  Flying  Jib  have  the 
fastest  pacing  record  in  the  world,  ^nd  the  same  record.  B. 
says  they  have  not,  who  wins?  Answer. — They  have  the 
same  record,  2:04,  to  harness,  without  a  running  mate,  that 
mark  has  never  been  excelled.  Mascot  won  his  record  in 
a  race.     Flying  Jib  won  his  against  lime. 

F.M.,  Santa  Barbara,  Cal. — Please  decide  whether  Lucy 
L.  ever  won  a  race  in  San  Francisco  or  oot.  She  ran  the 
spring  of  1893  and  I  believe  the  fall  of  1892  being  the  only 
times  that  she  started  there.  Answer. — We  do  not  find  any 
winning  race  at  San  Francisco,  after  looking  up  her  record 
thoroughly.  She  ran  second  aod.  third  a  number  of  times, 
however. 

Horseman — Please  give  through  your  valuable  paper  a 
correct  statement  of  Moondyne.  Is  he  standard,  if  so  what 
is  his  number?  Was  his  dam  standard?  Is  Director  Jr. 
standard,  if  so  please  give  his  number?  Aoswer — He  is  not 
standard,  neither  is  his  sire,  Director  Jr.  Moondyne  is 
splendidly  bred,  however,  combining  the  blood  of  Director, 
Echo,  Almont  (through  his  best  son,  Altamont),  Vermonf 
Black  Hawk  and  Pilot  Jr. 

Box  69,  Stockton. — Please  to  give  me  as  many  of  the  good 
qualities  of  McCracken's  Black  HawE,  and  also  of  General 
Taylor  as  you  can.  Answer. — We  have  published 
several  articles  about  these  great  sires  of  speed  and 
gameness,  and  called  attention  to  their  many  excellent  quali- 
ties. To  have  either  of  them  represented  in  a  pedigree  is  an 
honor,  and  no  one  can  ever  say  they  were  a  discredit  to  the 
trotting  families  that  are  now  so  fashionable. 

J.  H ,  City. — Will  you  please  give  the  number  of  Von 
Molke  (stallion),  full  brother  of  Coquette  and  others,  both 
sired  by  Jack  Hawkins?  He  was  recorded  some  fourteen 
years  ago  by  the  agent  jf  the  Spirit  of  the  Times,  but  lost  its 
number.  I  have  some  very  speedy  horses  and  mares  from 
him  now  in  training  (first  dam,  I  believe,  was  Kentucky  Ti- 
ger Whip).  Answer. — Von  Moltke,  by  Jack  Hawkins, 
never  was  registered  because  he  was  not  entitled  to  it. 


H.  E.  B  ,  city. — An  inquiry  has  been  made  of  me  as  to 
whether  an  animal  leased  for  its  racing  qualities  for  one 
year  is  not  entitled  to  all  district  privileges  (where  the  lesee 
lives,  and  keeps  the  leased  animal  in  the  district)  the  same 
as  though  it  was  owned  in  the  district.  Please  answer  and 
oblige.  I  say  yes.  Am  I  right?  Answer. — This  is  aques- 
tion  which  we  submit  to  several  of  the  presidents  of  the  asso- 
ciations and  in  our  next  issue  will  publish  their  answers,  if 
we  receive  any. 

C.  D.  Raub,  Meridan. — I  see  by  your  last  issue  that  a  Mr. 
J .  R.  Troxel  has  entered  a  ch  g  named  Surprise,  by  Liberty, 
dam  Susie,  by  G.  M.  Patchen  in  the  pacing  free-for-all  class, 
Vallejo.  Would  you  kindly  write  me  or  else  answer  through 
your  valuable  paper,  whether  this  is  meant  for  the  mare 
Susie,  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr.,  as  I  am  the  proud  owner  of 
Benicia(2),  out  of  old  Susie  (2:26)  by  Geo.  M.  Patchen  Jr., 
and  it  will  be  gratifying  to  learn  that  the  horse  Surprise  adds 
one  more  to  old  Susie's  list.  Answer. — Yes,  that  is  the  iden- 
tical Surprise.     He  was  foaled  in  1889  at  Palo  Alto. 

J.  W.,  Sacramento — Would  you  give  me  breediog  of  chest- 
nut mare  Viola  (thoroughbred),  if  she  ran  any  races  or 
has  a  mark?  A  man  named  W.  P.  Fine  ran  her.  Answer — 
Her  name  is  Volita,  and  she  is  by  Housewarmer  (son  of 
Wheatley  and  Myrtle,  by  Lodi),  dam  Lamplighter,  by  Lamp- 
lighter, a  horse  owned  in  Mendocino  county.  She  is  a  full 
sister  to  Fox,  the  horse  holding  the  record  for  five-furlong 
heats  on  this  Coast,  and  won  herself  four  races  in  the  winter 
and  spring  of  1893.  "Sandy"  Hornbrook  bred  her.  She 
won  half  a  mile  at  Oikland  February  8th,  in  0:50},  carrying 
106  pounds;  won  half  a  mile  February  23d  iu  0:491,  same 
place,  carrying  116  pounds  ;  won  at  half  a  mile  March  7th 
at  Oakland,  carrying  124  pounds,  in  0:51$,  and  at  California

Notes  From  a  Petaluma   Rail    Bird. 


A'iRICCLTCBAL   PARK,    PETALUMA,   JONE 

28. — As  no  one  is  writing  you  anything  about 
the  many  good  horses  at  this  track  I  will  send 
you  a  few  notes  from  the  rail  birds,  of  which 
we  have  a  large  flock. 

Look  there!  Did  you  see  that  bay  mare 
come  through  the  stretch  ?  No !  what  did 
you  split  on  ?  Thirty-three  seconds  flat.  Oh  I 
that  is  Maud  Fowler.  Locke  has  got  her 
head  straight  this  summer,  and  it  will  take  a 
Directum  to  beat  her  home  from  the  half. 
Maud  Fowler  is  the  property  of  I.  DeTurk,  of 
Santa  Kosa,  and  is  one  of  a  stable  of  six  good 
ones  that  his  able  trainer,  Mr.  George  Locke, 
in  lilting  for  the  big  California  circuit. 

Get  vour  watch  ready.  Here  comes  a  couple 
of  good  green  ones.  The  bay  stallion  is  Tet- 
am,  by  Anteeo,  full  brother  of  Maud  Fowler, 
2:2H,another  of  I.  De  Turk's  horses,  and  tliat 
large,  elegant  brown  stallion  is  Vasco,  which 
in  one  of  a  stable  of  five,  the  property  of  Sen- 
ator James  11.  Fair,  of  the  Sonoma  Stock 
Farm,  first  quarter  in  38  seconds,  half  in  1:15. 
Look  at  them  come!  Last  half  in  1:10  !  Well, 
that  ifl  pretty  good  lor  two  stallions  ODly  out 
of  the  stud  since  the  first  of  June.  Yea,  that 
is  fast  enough. 

See  that  smooth,  black,  two-year-old  com- 
ing? 

Yes,  what  is  he. 

Why,    haven't    you    heard  about     Robert 


Brown's  Secretary  colt  ?  He  pulled  a  cart  in 
the  mud  last  winter  a  quarter  in  0:37$.  This 
colt  is  one  of  a  stable  of  good  ones  trained  by 
B.  Bowman,  who  had  Plunkett  on  the  circuit 
last  year.  By  the  way,  have  you  heard  that 
Robert  Brown  shipped  Plunkett,  2:13*, 
Haverly,  2:25,  and  Rayonetta,  a  green  mare 
that  can  trot  close  to  2:20,  to  Portland, to  start 
in  the  summer  meeting  in  charge  of  the 
Misner  Bros.  Hark  !  there's  the  silk  factory's 
noon  whistle."  The  rail  birds  flapped  their 
wings  and  flew  away  to  lunch.

action. — F.  L,  Gerald  in  American  Horse

A  Mistake. 


Wuz  jes'  ez  likely  a  jouog  man 

Ez  you  could  hope  ter  see. 
He'd  orter  make  his  mark  in  life 

His  frien's  'ud  all  agree. 
Weth  lots  of  industry  an'  pluck 

He  set  out  in  the  race  ; 
He  started  fur  a  winner,  but 

He  couldn't  strike  the  pace. 

He  studied  hard,  perfessors  said, 

An'  never  wasted  time  ; 
He  stood  at  fortune's  ladder,  sure 

But  somehow  couldn't  climb. 
He  halted,  sorter  bashful,  while 

Another  tuk  his  place ; 
He  started  fur  a  winner,  but 

He  couldn't  strike  the  pace. 

Ye  see,  he  learnt  the  world  in  books-- 

The  world  of  long  ago. 
This  globe  goes  splnnin'  livelier 

Than  what  she  did,  yon  know; 
He  patterned  from  the  highest,  and, 

Of  course,  it's  no  disgrace, 
Thet  he  started  fur  a  winner,  bnt 

Could  never  strike  the  pace.

There  will  be  competed  for  during  this  sea- 
son a  number  of  Futurity  stakes  for  trotters 
that  will  be  far  in  excess  in  valre  of  any  that 
have  ever  yet  been  raced  for,  and  the  liberal 
conditions  ofler  horsemen  greater  chances  to 
win,  as  Consolations  were  conducive  to  large 
nominations,  and  the  approximate  total  value 
of  siy  stakes  to  be  trotted  for  during  1894  is 
$130,000.  The  king  bee  of  the  lot  is  the  Ken- 
tucky Futurity  for  foals  of  1891,  the  approxi- 
mate value  being  $30,000,  to  be  trotted  for  at 
the  annual  meeting  of  the  Kentucky  Trotting 
Horse  Breeders'  Association  at  Lexington, 
during  their  meeting,  October  6  to  13.  Next 
in  value  is  the  Terre  Haute  Purse,  which  is 
now  worth  $22,000  (and  President  Frank  Mc- 
Lean says  he  is  confident  it  will  be  worrh 
$24,000),  and  is  likewise  for  three-year-olds. 
The  Horseman's  Stake  for  trotting  foals  of 
1890  is  now  worth  close  to  $22,000,  and  will 
be  trotted  for  on  the  opening  day  of  the  De- 
troit meeting,  Julv  16,  and  the  Consolation, 
which  will  be  as  valuable  as  the  original  guar- 
anteed $12,500,  will  be  trotted  for  four  days 
later.  The  Nutmeg  Stake  for  three-year-olds 
will  be  worth  $20,000,  and  will  be  trotted  at 
Charter  Oak  Park,  August  28  to  31,  and  their 
$15,000  stake  for  four-year-olds  will  be  a  feat- 
ure of  the  same  week.  The  Clark's  Horse  Re- 
view Stake  will  oe  another  of  the  prominent 
attractions  of  the  year,  and  it  is  now  worth 
$19,000  ;  it  is  for  foals  of  1891.  The  date  and 
place  where  it  will  be  trotted  has  not  been 
agreed  upon. 

The  death  of  Robert  H.  Parks,  of  New 
York,  June  8,  recalls  to  the  minds  of  the  older 
breeders  the  time  when  Mr.  Parks  was  himself 
actively  engaged  in  the  breeding  business.  His 
most  famous  possession  in  the  horse  line  was 
the  well-known  imported  stallion,  Bonnie 
Scotland,  who  for  years  stood  at  public  service 
at  the  Parks  Farm,  Waukegan,  III.,  but  was 
subsequently  sold  when  Mr.  Parks  came  East, 
some  fifteen  years  ago.  Becoming  involved  in 
a  financial  crisis  on  Wall  street,  where  his 
name  had  lor  years  been  a  familiar  one  among 
the  leading  speculators  of  the  day,  he  went 
down  with  the  general  crash,  and  has  never 
been  engaged  in  the  breeding  business  to  any 
extent  since.  He  was  a  man  of  sterling  quali- 
ties, and  his  untimely  death  will  be  deeply 
mourned  by  an  extensive  circle  of  friends  and 
acquaintances. 

Lord  Ferguson,  by  Ferguson,  dam  Lady 
Ethan,  dam  of  Ethan  Wilkes,  sire  of  Will 
Kerr,  2:07*,  Vinette,  2:09},  and  Queen  Wilkes, 
2:23}-,  appeared  in  the  2:50  class  at  Stratford, 
Ont.,  last  week,  and  made  a  2:19}  mark  in  a 
winning  race.  He  had  such  a  good  one  to 
contend  with  as  Sir  Harry  Wilkes,  that  won 
the  first  heat  in  2:21}  and  the  second  in  2:16 
Then  this  son  of  Ferguson  and  Lady  Ethan 
came  in  and  won  the  next  three  heats,  in 
2:19^  2:19*  and  2:27.  It  looks  like  Lady 
Ethan  is  doing  her  share  in  producing  speed.

If  .-t  lion  and  a  strong  horse  were  to  pull  in 
opposition  directions  the  horse  would 
pull  the  lion  backward  with  comparative  ease: 
but  if  the  lion  were  hitched  behind  the  horse 
and  facing  in  the  same  direction,  and  were  al- 
lowed to  exert  his  strength  in  backing,  he 
could  easily  pull  the  horse  down  upon  his 
haunches  or  drag  him  across  the  ring,  so 
much  greater  is  his  strength  when  exerted 
backward  from  the  hind  legs  than  in  forward 
pulling. — Chambers  Journal.

We  can  assure  our  Canadian  neighbors  that 
the  proposed  tax  to  be  imposed  on  Canadian 
horses  racing  in  America,  is  not  traceable  to 
the  horsemen  on  this  side.  The  proposition 
originated  in  congress  over  which  no  wise 
horseman  nor  any  other  sane  man  pretends  to 
have  the  least  control. 


We  have  observed  closely  and  have  never 
yet  met  a  trainer  who  has  not  at  some  time  in 
his  life  owned  the  "  best  horse  that  ever  stood 
on  iron." 


We  want  correspondents  in  every  town  on 
the  Pacific  Coast  where  trotters,  pacers  or 
thoroughbreds  are  bred  or  developed.

. .  No  Longer 

. .  Necessary 

The  old  style  of  soaking  and  packing 
horses  feet  with  linseed  meal,  etc.,  is 
fast  being  dispensed  with, as  it  has  been 
proven  that  it  simply  acts  as  a  poul- 
tice and  draws  all  of  the  natural  oil  of 
horses  feet  to  the  surface,  which  weak- 
ens them  and  in  time  makes  the  hoof 
hard,  dry,  brittle,  and  stops  the  growth. 
There  is  nothing  thatis  not  liable 
to  happen  to  a  hoot  in  this  con- 
dition.

Training 
The  Trotting  Horse. 

BY  CHARLES  MARVIN. 


This  great  practical  horse  book  Is  a  handsome,  three 
hundred  page  octavo,  bound  In  cloth, elegantly  printed 
superbly  Illustrated,  and  explains  In  every  detail  the 
remarkable  success  of  CHARLES  MARVIN  and  the 
whole  plans  and  methods  pursued  at  Palo  Alto  as  to 
breaking,  training,  shoeing,  gaiting,  driving,  keeping, 
racing  and  breeding  trotters. 

Read  what  J.  C.  Sllby,  the  owner  of  SLBel,  says  oi 
this  book:  "In  this  work  Marvin  has  let  out  all  the 
mysteries  of  the  craft, and  It  is  so  simple  and  plain  that 
any  breeder,  owner,  trainer  or  rubber  who  has  any 
relish  for  bis  business  can  take  a  colt  as  a  yearling  and 
develope  to  the  highest  and  fullest  extent  that  colt's 
capacity  as  a  trotter.  -The  work  Impressed  me  so 
strongly  that  I  have  ordered  twenty  copies,  and  shall 
place  one  In  the  hands  of  every  rubber  on  our  farm."

O'Kane's  Roller  Brake  for  Sulkies. 

ur    The  roller  attachment  eQectually  prevents  accidents  from  horse  rearing,  as  it  allows  no  fonvard  movement 
^lky  while  the  shafts  are  elevated,  at  the  same  time  permitting  the  sulky  to  roll  back  in  case  the  horse  (as 
very  olten  happens)  takes  a  step  or  two  backward  while  in  the  air. 

IV  O  TEARLVti  OFF  OF  TIRE,  as  in  other  brakes.    Weighs  only  2,^  pounds.    Can  be  attached  to  any
